WEBVTT - 12-18-25 Willie with Warren Davidson

0:00:07.840 --> 0:00:11.320
<v Speaker 1>Bill Cunningham, the Great American. Welcome this Thursday, afternoon, Christmas

0:00:11.320 --> 0:00:14.239
<v Speaker 1>on the horizon. Last night, the President addressed the nation.

0:00:14.800 --> 0:00:16.720
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was fabulous. I thought it was great.

0:00:16.720 --> 0:00:19.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to share with you my ex account or

0:00:19.200 --> 0:00:20.920
<v Speaker 1>my tweet it. Can I use the word tweet anymore

0:00:20.960 --> 0:00:23.440
<v Speaker 1>about what I said about last night's speech and more.

0:00:23.880 --> 0:00:27.400
<v Speaker 1>Plus the Bengals two is not going to play on Sunday.

0:00:27.400 --> 0:00:29.280
<v Speaker 1>We'll see what happens now the Bengals won from an

0:00:29.320 --> 0:00:31.639
<v Speaker 1>underdog to a favorite. We'll see what happens there. But

0:00:31.720 --> 0:00:34.720
<v Speaker 1>until then, Congressman Warren Davidson, welcome again to the Bill

0:00:34.760 --> 0:00:38.760
<v Speaker 1>Cunningham Show. First of all, Congressman, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year.

0:00:38.920 --> 0:00:40.839
<v Speaker 1>May I share with you my ex account and what

0:00:40.960 --> 0:00:42.320
<v Speaker 1>I said last night late?

0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:44.839
<v Speaker 2>It'd be an honor. Thank you.

0:00:45.040 --> 0:00:47.720
<v Speaker 1>This is what I'm saying. Trump speaks to the nation.

0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:54.000
<v Speaker 1>Three main goals as potus fix, the border lesson crime fix,

0:00:54.080 --> 0:00:57.480
<v Speaker 1>inflation check mark all three. In fact, this morning the

0:00:57.560 --> 0:01:00.760
<v Speaker 1>numbers came out. They're down to two point seven from three.

0:01:01.040 --> 0:01:03.360
<v Speaker 1>They went down the place and number went down ten

0:01:03.400 --> 0:01:06.039
<v Speaker 1>percent in one month, from three point zero to two

0:01:06.040 --> 0:01:09.440
<v Speaker 1>point seven. May I continue American service members each receive,

0:01:09.720 --> 0:01:13.039
<v Speaker 1>due to tariffs, a Christmas bonus of one thousand, seven

0:01:13.160 --> 0:01:15.839
<v Speaker 1>hundred and seventy six dollars. Do you stand with DJT

0:01:16.080 --> 0:01:20.040
<v Speaker 1>or you want Biden and Kamala back? They're back. Can

0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:23.920
<v Speaker 1>you imagine the road not taken that if Kamala Harris

0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:26.840
<v Speaker 1>and Tim Waltz the marshmallow Man was in charge of

0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:29.000
<v Speaker 1>the economy. Now, where would we be.

0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:36.000
<v Speaker 3>It's it's insane where we would be if if we

0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:38.320
<v Speaker 3>had Kamala Harris and Tim Watson.

0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:39.800
<v Speaker 2>Look, the country rightly.

0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:42.839
<v Speaker 3>Decided we need we need another term for President Trump,

0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:44.920
<v Speaker 3>and he's made the most of it. I mean, you

0:01:44.959 --> 0:01:49.000
<v Speaker 3>look at the executive actions they've taken, and the momentum

0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:50.960
<v Speaker 3>is great, and I think he kind of teed it

0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:52.960
<v Speaker 3>up to say, hey, we've got a lot of things done.

0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:55.200
<v Speaker 2>More good things are coming. Uh.

0:01:55.280 --> 0:01:58.560
<v Speaker 3>The biggest thing that we did with the tax reform package.

0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:02.160
<v Speaker 3>Some people are seeing that already, but you're really gonna

0:02:02.160 --> 0:02:04.720
<v Speaker 3>feel it when you get to April fifteenth next year

0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:07.600
<v Speaker 3>and you see, wow, okay, big returns and a lot

0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:09.920
<v Speaker 3>of people are just in the coming year going to

0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:13.040
<v Speaker 3>start seeing their withholdings changed so they have more take

0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:15.880
<v Speaker 3>home pay. To be able to drive our economy, and

0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:18.480
<v Speaker 3>I think that's really going to be a strong year ahead.

0:02:19.040 --> 0:02:22.000
<v Speaker 3>President Trump really teed that up nicely, and I think

0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:24.640
<v Speaker 3>he baited the whole country and the media into covering

0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:26.400
<v Speaker 3>it too. They all thought he was going to talk

0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:29.280
<v Speaker 3>about Venezuela, and he basically gave a here's what we

0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:31.320
<v Speaker 3>got done so far, but wait, there's more coming.

0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:34.840
<v Speaker 1>I have a sense Tony Bender tells me this. I

0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:37.480
<v Speaker 1>think at times he has liberal leanings that they're kind

0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:40.400
<v Speaker 1>of rooting against the country. They don't want the inflation

0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:42.919
<v Speaker 1>number to go down. When the number came out this morning,

0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:45.960
<v Speaker 1>I watch MSNBC MS NOW so you don't have to,

0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:49.600
<v Speaker 1>and the coverage was not about the number three point

0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:52.920
<v Speaker 1>zero to two point seven percent inflation. The number was about, well,

0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:56.679
<v Speaker 1>coffee's up seventeen percent, cars are up four percent, meat

0:02:56.800 --> 0:02:59.359
<v Speaker 1>is up fourteen percent, as like saying, well, my fingers

0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:02.240
<v Speaker 1>and arms way a lot, but my body's in good shape.

0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:04.880
<v Speaker 1>And so they want to downplay the number to say,

0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:07.320
<v Speaker 1>you know what, well, and can you trust the number?

0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:10.120
<v Speaker 1>Trump's in charge of the numbers. Can you trust the number?

0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:13.040
<v Speaker 1>And after Trump mcgasoline maybe down to a dollar fifty

0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:15.959
<v Speaker 1>a gallon and might be ninety nine cents again, which

0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:18.919
<v Speaker 1>it was when I was a kid. But nonetheless, things

0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:21.959
<v Speaker 1>are terrible, things are awful. The economies in free fall.

0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:24.360
<v Speaker 1>Tariffs are going to be overruled by the Outh Supreme Court.

0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:26.920
<v Speaker 1>The border's going to get wide open. Venezuela is going

0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:29.720
<v Speaker 1>to attack Miami, Florida. And I'm watching this, I'm going,

0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:33.120
<v Speaker 1>what are you saying. Do you think that Democrats under

0:03:33.120 --> 0:03:35.600
<v Speaker 1>Trump want America to succeed or fail?

0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:39.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they're rooting for failure and they're looking for issues.

0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:42.640
<v Speaker 3>I mean, look, the House of Representatives just yesterday we

0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:46.400
<v Speaker 3>passed it to start on healthcare reform. Not more free

0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:51.080
<v Speaker 3>stuff for more people, not COVID era subsidies, real reforms

0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:55.520
<v Speaker 3>for all all Americans, lowering health care costs, giving more

0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:57.200
<v Speaker 3>options to people with health care.

0:03:57.920 --> 0:03:58.560
<v Speaker 2>It's a start.

0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:01.000
<v Speaker 3>I want there to be more reformed on our overall

0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:04.000
<v Speaker 3>healthcare market. But we passed that on the floor of

0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:07.400
<v Speaker 3>the House. No Democrats joined joined us in passing that,

0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:10.600
<v Speaker 3>and why because they want the issue and what they're

0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:14.200
<v Speaker 3>talking about with this COVID subsidy thing is really hiding

0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:17.600
<v Speaker 3>the fact that Obamacare failed to make healthcare more affordable,

0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:21.159
<v Speaker 3>and even the subsidies that they're fighting for, these aren't

0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:24.120
<v Speaker 3>subsidies for regular Obamacare people that have them. These are

0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:28.039
<v Speaker 3>bonus subsidies essentially for affluent people that don't even go

0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:30.400
<v Speaker 3>to the people. They go to the insurance companies. They

0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:33.440
<v Speaker 3>clearly aren't working, and they want to They want to

0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:37.719
<v Speaker 3>hold that out there as their healthcare issue. And you

0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:39.480
<v Speaker 3>know why, because they want an issue. They don't want

0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:40.720
<v Speaker 3>to they don't want to solve the problem.

0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:42.760
<v Speaker 1>And the other thing is one of the best. If

0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:45.600
<v Speaker 1>you're in the military right now. You were in the military,

0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:48.119
<v Speaker 1>you went to Notre Dame, you went to West Point,

0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:51.080
<v Speaker 1>you've been a ranger. And if you're a product of

0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:53.560
<v Speaker 1>what's it called today, private or a corporal at the

0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:56.320
<v Speaker 1>bottom of the run, and here comes a check to

0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:59.680
<v Speaker 1>you for one thousand, seven hundred and seventy six dollars,

0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:02.480
<v Speaker 1>you know one in the media is covering that because

0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:06.440
<v Speaker 1>it is so good for service personnel, and it reflects

0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:08.280
<v Speaker 1>the idea that the tariffs are going to be used

0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:11.720
<v Speaker 1>for those purposes. If the US Supreme Court rules at

0:05:11.720 --> 0:05:14.800
<v Speaker 1>some point in the future that that's all illegal, and

0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:18.960
<v Speaker 1>now we owe hundreds of billions of dollars. Wouldn't that

0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:20.679
<v Speaker 1>wreck the economy.

0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:23.520
<v Speaker 3>It'd be a really bad idea for the court to

0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:28.479
<v Speaker 3>go back and kind of retroactively nullify, you know, the tariffs.

0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:31.120
<v Speaker 3>And I don't think they're going to do that personally.

0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:34.960
<v Speaker 3>But look, the goal with the tariffs has been to

0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:37.920
<v Speaker 3>force a negotiation that's been very effective.

0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:40.200
<v Speaker 2>We made progress. There's a lot left to do.

0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:43.279
<v Speaker 3>And you know, part of the reason why would we

0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:46.000
<v Speaker 3>teariff some of our allies and friends, well because they

0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:49.880
<v Speaker 3>took America for granted and they were all trying to

0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:53.080
<v Speaker 3>curry favor with China and at the expense of the

0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:56.560
<v Speaker 3>United States, they weren't helping confront China. China's been abusive

0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:59.880
<v Speaker 3>in their trade practices with everybody. And finally, even the

0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:02.320
<v Speaker 3>Europeans are there. Mark Carney up in Canada is the

0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:06.479
<v Speaker 3>most stubborn guy going maybe in Brazil. So there's still

0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:09.880
<v Speaker 3>some lingering tariffs on Canada and Brazil because their countries

0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:12.599
<v Speaker 3>aren't helping. But even the Germans, with the big German

0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:15.400
<v Speaker 3>auto industry said, look, okay, we get it, we need

0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:18.560
<v Speaker 3>the China market, but we are really seeing problems here

0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:21.520
<v Speaker 3>and they are starting to help confront China. And look,

0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:25.480
<v Speaker 3>we'd rather have a friendly trade relationship, the idea that

0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:28.559
<v Speaker 3>we trades better than we have conflict. But we can't

0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:31.279
<v Speaker 3>stay dependent upon China. And that's been a clear theme

0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:35.560
<v Speaker 3>of the president. That's a clear foreign policy initiative, and

0:06:35.600 --> 0:06:37.480
<v Speaker 3>in the way he's used it has been to forced

0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:40.520
<v Speaker 3>that that's the prerogative of the president, the commander in chief,

0:06:41.000 --> 0:06:43.280
<v Speaker 3>and I hope that the Supreme Court takes that into

0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:46.920
<v Speaker 3>account when they provide this decision. Yeah, there is revenue

0:06:46.920 --> 0:06:49.680
<v Speaker 3>there that comes from the tariffs, and Okay, Congress at

0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:52.040
<v Speaker 3>some point, hopefully we'll walk those in and create some

0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:53.520
<v Speaker 3>certainty around this.

0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:54.719
<v Speaker 2>And that's kind of the theme.

0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:57.240
<v Speaker 3>Like we passed some things through the House last year,

0:06:57.680 --> 0:06:59.440
<v Speaker 3>but in the year ahead, even some of the things

0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:02.599
<v Speaker 3>that we really want done our HR two three four

0:07:02.680 --> 0:07:05.680
<v Speaker 3>five bills, the Senate hasn't taken up. So we really

0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:08.159
<v Speaker 3>get to put pressure on the Senate to give us

0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:11.040
<v Speaker 3>a vote. Hopefully they'll all pass, but we got to

0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:13.800
<v Speaker 3>show the country, hey, we are on offense and there's

0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:15.680
<v Speaker 3>a reason why we can get all this done.

0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:16.040
<v Speaker 2>Well.

0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:18.840
<v Speaker 1>We also have massive fraud, waste and abuse. We talk

0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:21.040
<v Speaker 1>about it every cycle, we never do anything about it.

0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:24.280
<v Speaker 1>This time something is occurring. Ninety percent of the new

0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:28.080
<v Speaker 1>signups for Obamacare or bots or individuals that are simply

0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:31.920
<v Speaker 1>doing it with fictitious Social Security numbers, and huge amounts

0:07:31.960 --> 0:07:34.600
<v Speaker 1>of moneys are going to individuals and so called clinics

0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:38.640
<v Speaker 1>all over America that don't exist. Same thing with Social Security.

0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:42.040
<v Speaker 1>There's about one hundred billion dollars a year in Social

0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:44.640
<v Speaker 1>Security does waste, fraud and abuse. When you can talk

0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:48.360
<v Speaker 1>about SNOP benefits, about half the SNOP benefits are bots,

0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:50.920
<v Speaker 1>are illegals. And I'm reading this out of I read

0:07:51.000 --> 0:07:55.880
<v Speaker 1>Minneapolis newspapers. I'll try to read everything. Minnesota officials and prosecutors.

0:07:55.880 --> 0:07:59.760
<v Speaker 1>These are Minnesota state our warning, the State of Minnesota

0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:04.360
<v Speaker 1>auditor and treasurer. They're facing unpresidented fraud crisis and his

0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:08.440
<v Speaker 1>social service programs, with losses to Minnesota being about two

0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:11.120
<v Speaker 1>billion dollars. And by the way, the states paid ten

0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:13.960
<v Speaker 1>to fifteen percent of these costs. The Feds pay ninety

0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:16.920
<v Speaker 1>eighty to ninety percent of the cost So if Minnesota

0:08:17.000 --> 0:08:20.280
<v Speaker 1>lost two billion dollars, that means the federal taxpayers you

0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:23.559
<v Speaker 1>and I lost about twenty billion dollars in one state.

0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:26.840
<v Speaker 1>How do you respond to that the massive fraud, waste

0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:28.720
<v Speaker 1>and abuse in Minnesota. What do you say about that?

0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:32.120
<v Speaker 3>Well, look at who's leading the state, Tim Walls, right,

0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:34.640
<v Speaker 3>that's who Kamala Harris picked as her.

0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:35.720
<v Speaker 2>Vice president candidate.

0:08:36.120 --> 0:08:38.040
<v Speaker 3>You look at Gavin Newsom, who wants to be the

0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:41.120
<v Speaker 3>Democrat nominee. Look what he's done to California. That's what

0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:45.119
<v Speaker 3>these people want to do to our country. And tragically,

0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:48.400
<v Speaker 3>the one Democrat senator in the state of Minnesota who

0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:52.720
<v Speaker 3>voted to turn off free health care for illegals in

0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:55.880
<v Speaker 3>Minnesota was murdered. But you look at how deep is

0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:58.520
<v Speaker 3>the scandal in the corruption up there with this money,

0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:03.120
<v Speaker 3>No wonder people didn't want this exposed, and there has

0:09:03.200 --> 0:09:05.640
<v Speaker 3>to be accountability. And I think, look, this is hopefully

0:09:05.679 --> 0:09:08.640
<v Speaker 3>twenty twenty six will be the year that we finally

0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:11.439
<v Speaker 3>hear the answers of the most frequent question I've got

0:09:11.800 --> 0:09:14.560
<v Speaker 3>as a member of Congress. When is somebody going to jail?

0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:17.480
<v Speaker 3>They want the accountability for the people that are doing

0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:20.960
<v Speaker 3>this corruption. We keep having hearings and exposing the corruption,

0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:25.000
<v Speaker 3>but now, Pam Bondi, when is somebody going to jail?

0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:27.240
<v Speaker 3>And those prosecutions need to take place?

0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:30.120
<v Speaker 1>Well, every now and then I'm sure in Congress Warren Davidson,

0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:34.160
<v Speaker 1>you're running the elan omar. Her federal forms indicated six

0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:37.920
<v Speaker 1>years ago she was worth sixty thousand dollars. Her federal

0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:41.800
<v Speaker 1>forms now say she's worth thirty million, a Somali congressman

0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:44.960
<v Speaker 1>from Minnesota. Can you ask her how that happened when

0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:47.240
<v Speaker 1>you passed her in the hallway and the Rayburn office building?

0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:48.319
<v Speaker 1>Can you ask her that question?

0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:53.360
<v Speaker 3>Well, I am curious. I mean I hadn't heard that.

0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:56.880
<v Speaker 3>That is stunning. Maybe she was following Nancy Pelosi's stock

0:09:56.920 --> 0:10:00.120
<v Speaker 3>tips or something. But there's a lot of work there. Know,

0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:02.360
<v Speaker 3>we haven't even held ourselves to account on some of

0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:06.680
<v Speaker 3>those things with with reforms. But look, Alano Mark seems

0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:10.880
<v Speaker 3>very clear from public information that she committed immigration fraud.

0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:12.640
<v Speaker 2>She married brother no less.

0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:14.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, who doesn't marry, who doesn't marry their brother,

0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:18.200
<v Speaker 1>who doesn't marry their sister? Married the married the brother

0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:21.200
<v Speaker 1>as a as a felony to get into the country,

0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:24.199
<v Speaker 1>get the brother into the country, and now they're both citizens.

0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:26.440
<v Speaker 1>Isn't that fraud? If you marry your brother or sister

0:10:26.679 --> 0:10:30.079
<v Speaker 1>to become a US citizen, it's.

0:10:29.920 --> 0:10:32.840
<v Speaker 3>A it's a criminal of House, and again, when is

0:10:32.840 --> 0:10:34.280
<v Speaker 3>somebody going to be held to account?

0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:36.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean, these kinds of things are out there in

0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:36.560
<v Speaker 2>the public.

0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:39.400
<v Speaker 3>I mean I still am in shock that there's never

0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:43.080
<v Speaker 3>been an accountability for the Clinton Foundation. So look, there are

0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:44.600
<v Speaker 3>a lot of these things that have been out there

0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:47.480
<v Speaker 3>for years, and I think, look, people, people don't talk

0:10:47.480 --> 0:10:51.840
<v Speaker 3>about them every day anymore because they've kind of given

0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:54.319
<v Speaker 3>up hope. And that's really it's a sad time. Dan

0:10:54.360 --> 0:10:58.040
<v Speaker 3>Bongino took a year away, came and served as deputy

0:10:58.040 --> 0:10:59.599
<v Speaker 3>director at the FBI. But I think a lot of

0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:02.240
<v Speaker 3>people are a little demoralized, like, man, it's m Bongino

0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:05.040
<v Speaker 3>can't get the reform at the FBI, what's it going

0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:05.600
<v Speaker 3>to take.

0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:09.120
<v Speaker 1>Well, I'm reading from this. This is Minnesota, which is

0:11:09.160 --> 0:11:13.199
<v Speaker 1>a blue state, Minneapolis of Blue City. Twenty one percent

0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:17.120
<v Speaker 1>of the country's states, which are all Democrats, don't want

0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:19.720
<v Speaker 1>to share any information with the FEDS. This says. While

0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:24.280
<v Speaker 1>investigating the scandal, Minnesota agents discovered that one suspected scammer

0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:26.640
<v Speaker 1>his name or her name, I'm not sure is Asha

0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:32.600
<v Speaker 1>farhan Asan defrauded the state's autism treatment program of roughly

0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:37.080
<v Speaker 1>fourteen million dollars. He built medicaid for fake therapy sessions,

0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:41.600
<v Speaker 1>used untrained staff, and paid paid parents fifteen hundred dollars

0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:44.000
<v Speaker 1>a month to keep their kids in the program when

0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:47.000
<v Speaker 1>they didn't have autism. And by the way, they've tracked

0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:51.840
<v Speaker 1>the money, they sent hundreds of thousands of dollars to Kenya, Nigeria,

0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:55.200
<v Speaker 1>and also to Somalia and also to El Kaeda and

0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:59.760
<v Speaker 1>al Shabab. So the federal taxpayer and the Minnesota part

0:11:59.840 --> 0:12:03.160
<v Speaker 1>is ten. So the federal taxpayer spend one hundred and

0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:06.760
<v Speaker 1>forty million dollars for fake billing that went to terrorist groups.

0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:09.280
<v Speaker 1>Tony Bender paid for that. And there's not more of

0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:10.640
<v Speaker 1>an outrage, Are you kidding me?

0:12:12.440 --> 0:12:13.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:15.880
<v Speaker 3>Look, we got to make twenty twenty six the Year

0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:19.760
<v Speaker 3>of accountability, and you know, a lot of things got done.

0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:21.600
<v Speaker 3>I think it's nice that President Trump came out there

0:12:21.640 --> 0:12:23.280
<v Speaker 3>and said, hey, don't forget, we got a lot of

0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:24.400
<v Speaker 3>great things done this year.

0:12:24.840 --> 0:12:26.400
<v Speaker 2>But he also pointed to the future.

0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:29.400
<v Speaker 3>And you know, my hope is that we do, in

0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:32.720
<v Speaker 3>fact make twenty twenty six the Year of accountability. And

0:12:33.200 --> 0:12:35.040
<v Speaker 3>you know part of that in Congress, we got our

0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:36.520
<v Speaker 3>work cut out for us. We got to hit the

0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:39.920
<v Speaker 3>January thirtieth deadline fund the government, and then there's really

0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:43.520
<v Speaker 3>no excuse if we don't hit October first funding deadline

0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:47.880
<v Speaker 3>with everything this year, So the part that we can control,

0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:50.320
<v Speaker 3>we just got to get after. But we do have

0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:53.040
<v Speaker 3>to put accountability on DJ. I mean, that is clearly

0:12:53.200 --> 0:12:54.320
<v Speaker 3>out of control and broken.

0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:59.160
<v Speaker 1>Lastly, January thirtieth is coming, my gosh, only five or

0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:02.199
<v Speaker 1>six weeks away. Are the Democrats going to shut down

0:13:02.240 --> 0:13:04.960
<v Speaker 1>the government again? That's what I'm hearing. They want to

0:13:04.960 --> 0:13:07.920
<v Speaker 1>shut down the government again. Is that conceivable?

0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:14.480
<v Speaker 3>Well, it's certainly conceivable. And look, I was here when

0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:17.680
<v Speaker 3>it happened last time and we didn't even change anything.

0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:21.840
<v Speaker 3>So we are close on some appropriations bills. Our appropriators

0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:23.560
<v Speaker 3>got all the bills through committee.

0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:26.559
<v Speaker 2>But again it's syncing up with the Senate and they

0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:28.080
<v Speaker 2>say they got the sixty vote rule.

0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:29.680
<v Speaker 3>When that kind of comes in, are they going to

0:13:29.679 --> 0:13:31.720
<v Speaker 3>break the full of buster or they're gonna do something different.

0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:34.560
<v Speaker 3>But the idea that we're going to just kind of

0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:37.240
<v Speaker 3>continue status quo. None of us campaigned on preserving the

0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:40.120
<v Speaker 3>status quo. We have to pass our priorities with a

0:13:40.120 --> 0:13:42.920
<v Speaker 3>funding bill, and okay, we need some Democrat votes in

0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:46.800
<v Speaker 3>the Senate to get it. They can't just continue to obstruct, obstruct, obstruct.

0:13:47.840 --> 0:13:49.840
<v Speaker 3>I know twenty twenty six is an election.

0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:50.319
<v Speaker 2>Year, but we do.

0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:52.520
<v Speaker 3>Look, we need to take care of the country and

0:13:52.559 --> 0:13:54.880
<v Speaker 3>come together and pass it in the appropriations bills as

0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:55.319
<v Speaker 3>part of that.

0:13:55.360 --> 0:13:59.199
<v Speaker 1>I know, you run on the House floor at two o'clock,

0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:01.760
<v Speaker 1>according to Sea and then they're never wrong about two

0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:04.440
<v Speaker 1>to two thirty. You're going to be voting on extending

0:14:04.800 --> 0:14:09.240
<v Speaker 1>the Obamacare COVID subsidies for three years in about two hours.

0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:10.280
<v Speaker 1>How's that going to turn out?

0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:13.920
<v Speaker 2>Well? Sadly, it might pass the House.

0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:16.439
<v Speaker 3>I mean we had four Look, part of the reason

0:14:16.520 --> 0:14:19.560
<v Speaker 3>that the Speaker Johnson kept the House out of session

0:14:20.640 --> 0:14:23.400
<v Speaker 3>was to keep pressure on Democrats when they shut down

0:14:23.440 --> 0:14:27.080
<v Speaker 3>the government so that we could just reopen the government

0:14:27.160 --> 0:14:30.240
<v Speaker 3>and not cave to their one and a half trillion

0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:34.160
<v Speaker 3>dollar list of demands. Now they're not caving to everything,

0:14:34.200 --> 0:14:37.520
<v Speaker 3>but one of the core ones was plus an up Obamacare.

0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:40.800
<v Speaker 3>Because Obamacare is failing, they want to pump more cash

0:14:40.840 --> 0:14:44.720
<v Speaker 3>into it. And this is a COVID era program. Democrats

0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:47.720
<v Speaker 3>set the expiration date and now they're looking for Republican

0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:51.200
<v Speaker 3>votes to help save it. And unfortunately, four of my

0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:54.400
<v Speaker 3>colleagues have pledged to join that fight, maybe more when

0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:54.840
<v Speaker 3>they call the.

0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:57.360
<v Speaker 2>Votes, will join it so it might pass the House.

0:14:57.920 --> 0:14:59.600
<v Speaker 3>They called the votes in the Senate on the same

0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:01.520
<v Speaker 3>plan and Democrats voted for it.

0:15:01.520 --> 0:15:04.320
<v Speaker 2>It did not pass the Senate, so.

0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:07.480
<v Speaker 3>Hopefully it'll go nowhere at the end of the day

0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:09.800
<v Speaker 3>because we've got to pass the House and Senate. I

0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:11.760
<v Speaker 3>doubt President Trump would sign it if it made it

0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:14.480
<v Speaker 3>to his desk either, but nevertheless, they're going to force

0:15:14.520 --> 0:15:15.040
<v Speaker 3>a vote on it.

0:15:15.240 --> 0:15:18.600
<v Speaker 1>Let's get more money to this, to the Minnesota fraud programs.

0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:21.480
<v Speaker 1>Even Minnesota officials were saying, we can't live like this.

0:15:21.760 --> 0:15:24.800
<v Speaker 1>One program was supposed to cost fourteen million dollars and

0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:27.560
<v Speaker 1>one year, a jump from fourteen million to four hundred

0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:31.080
<v Speaker 1>and twenty five million dollars in one year for autism relief,

0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:34.120
<v Speaker 1>paid for only by the Minnesota tax payers. And that

0:15:34.280 --> 0:15:36.920
<v Speaker 1>is ridiculous. And God help I guess a Democrat who

0:15:36.920 --> 0:15:39.120
<v Speaker 1>doesn't keep the fraud going because you'll be voted out

0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:42.560
<v Speaker 1>of office. And one was killed in Minnesota. My gosh,

0:15:42.560 --> 0:15:44.360
<v Speaker 1>every time I talk to you, I get more depressed.

0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:47.600
<v Speaker 3>Well, look, did good news is there's a lot of

0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:50.480
<v Speaker 3>good people in the fight, and we get another got

0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:52.920
<v Speaker 3>a great holiday season coming up. We can celebrate the

0:15:52.920 --> 0:15:56.120
<v Speaker 3>birth of our Messiah and we'll be back home in

0:15:56.160 --> 0:15:58.360
<v Speaker 3>Ohio to do it. So it's always an honor to

0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:00.240
<v Speaker 3>celebrate with you. God bless you and all your lists.

0:16:00.640 --> 0:16:03.120
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, Warren Davidson. We'll see what happens in a

0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:05.640
<v Speaker 1>couple hours. And uh, let's keep all the fraud going

0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:08.960
<v Speaker 1>because democrats benefit, kind of like they keep racism going

0:16:09.000 --> 0:16:11.880
<v Speaker 1>because they benefit and get paid. So but thank you

0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:14.600
<v Speaker 1>very much, Warren Davidson. Merry Christmas and happy New Year.

0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:18.520
