1
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:09,799
Speaker 1: Bill cunning in the Great America and welcome this glorious

2
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 1: cold but getting better Wednesday afternoon in the tri State.

3
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:16,280
Speaker 1: And of course tonight's tonight watching all day morning talk shows,

4
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens the CNNs of the world of

5
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 1: just begging the two or three Republicans four or five

6
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 1: don't vote for the spending package and then try to

7
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,639
Speaker 1: send them back to the Senate for more chaos and confusion.

8
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: That's what they're banking on. Joining you and I now

9
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: is the great Representative Warren Davidson of Ohio eight soon

10
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: to become Ohio one, I think, but I'm not sure

11
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: about that either. And once again, Warren Davidson, Welcome to

12
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: the Bill Cunningham Show this Wednesday afternoon. So as we

13
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,919
Speaker 1: sit here about six or seven hours from the vote,

14
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 1: supposedly about seven pm to night, you've had the head counts.

15
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: You're looking around, CNN is saying there'll be numerous Republicans

16
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: from districts that grow a lot of hemp or sell

17
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: these drinks and fused with CBD aren't going to vote

18
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: for this thing until that's taken out. Every one of

19
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: those businesses have one year to wrap up their business,

20
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,040
Speaker 1: et cetera. So, as we said here about seven hours

21
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: before seven pm, how are we looking for a positive vote?

22
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 2: CNN is hoping no.

23
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 3: What do you say, Well, look, I think we'll have

24
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 3: the votes in the House, and I think Republicans are

25
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 3: going to get behind it. I think maybe even a

26
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 3: handful of Democrats. Jared Golden from Maine was the only

27
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 3: Democrat that voted for it back in September when we

28
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 3: voted on the Queen tr in the House. And you're

29
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 3: referencing the AG Bill, and look, the reality is lobbyist

30
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 3: from marijuana out maneuvered lobbyists from the hemp industry. And

31
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 3: the honest thing is to just regulate the TCHD as

32
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 3: the THC because when hemp was deregulated, it was because

33
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 3: there wasn't THHD in it. Well, there is a little bit.

34
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 3: So if you concentrate it and extract it and turn

35
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 3: it into oil, you can sell it into the vape industry,

36
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 3: you can sell it into energy, drink industry and other things.

37
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 3: And they have been and so hopefully this will get fixed.

38
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 3: I mean, this should have been a clean fight in

39
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 3: the ag Approach Bill, but it's kind of jammed in.

40
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 3: That's not uncommon in appropriations bills, and it really is

41
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 3: a part of ag approach. And here's another one that

42
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 3: was in there, Senator Ted Cruz buried in a provision

43
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 3: that lets senators sue if the government spies on them. Uh.

44
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,799
Speaker 3: And the reality is the government shouldn't be fined on

45
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 3: any America a little, you know, and there shouldn't just

46
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 3: be a special carve out for senators. So it's a

47
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 3: poisoned till by Ted Cruz in my mind, in the

48
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 3: Legislative Approbes Bill. So for that reason, you know, you

49
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 3: could you could say, well, look, I'm opposed to this provision,

50
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 3: but the idea that you're going to take down the

51
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 3: whole package and cause the government to continue to be

52
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 3: shut down. That was the whole point of the cr

53
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 3: in the first place, is let's have the appropriations fight.

54
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 3: And so I think there's a lot of appetite to

55
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 3: just get on with appropriations.

56
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 1: Warren Davidson, So you're saying this first time I heard this.

57
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: I'm not much in the world but marijuana, believe it

58
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: or not. But nonetheless, so you got the marijuana growers

59
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: and users fighting those with hamp CBD and THC.

60
00:02:59,360 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 2: Do I have that right.

61
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: So those two industries are fighting for billions of dollars

62
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: and they set it bill nodded toward the marijuana and

63
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: not toward the hemp.

64
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 2: Is that correct, That's right.

65
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 3: That's basically the feud and the turf war, and the

66
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 3: path to peace is to just treat THHC as THCHC.

67
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 3: Whether it comes from marijuana or hemp or some lab somewhere,

68
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 3: it's an intoxicating substance. It's mind altering and in that sense,

69
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 3: you know, it does different things than alcohol, but similar

70
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 3: to alcohol. And so there's a way to do this,

71
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 3: and frankly, maybe the smart way is to let states

72
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 3: regulate a lot of this the same way that they

73
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 3: regulate alcohol and get the federal government out of treating

74
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 3: this as a Class one substance and just, you know,

75
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 3: let states do it because they have. Overwhelmingly states around

76
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 3: the country are legalizing marijuana. I don't think it's been

77
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 3: a success to have legalized it. I don't think it's

78
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 3: smart to use it, but lots of people do. And

79
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 3: we've had this own sort of loophole in Ohio because

80
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 3: of the way they lead marijuana. But then HIMP is

81
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 3: kind of backdoor doing you know, no regulation.

82
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: All right, So do you know what the Trump position

83
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: is on taking marijuana from Schedule one to Schedule three?

84
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: I know the Trump star doesn't like drinking done like

85
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: alcohol done like marijuana. What is the status of him

86
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: taking it from a Schedule one to a Schedule three?

87
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:21,559
Speaker 2: Is that going to happen?

88
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 3: Well, it's hard to do with just executive action, and

89
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 3: the legislative votes are hard to get. I mean, honestly,

90
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 3: we've had a hard time as Republicans getting people there.

91
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 3: And you know, I've been a longtime co sponsor of

92
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 3: legislation that would you know, you know, you're d banking

93
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 3: people just because you know they work in certain industries

94
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,239
Speaker 3: and they're lawfully employed. They can't get a mortgage because

95
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 3: the source of their income is tied to this, and

96
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 3: you should let the regulation be the regulation about it.

97
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 3: States have overwhelmingly done that. The federal government has done

98
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 3: nothing about it. So it's really long overdue to just

99
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 3: treated as a Schedule three item. And you know, the

100
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:05,919
Speaker 3: States Act as a bill that I'm a co sponsor

101
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 3: of that would let states regulate it more effect it.

102
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 3: It's clear that the federal government has been completely dysfunctional

103
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 3: on this subject.

104
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: I like federalism. Alabama's different than California, Ohio is different

105
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: than Massachusetts. One not much like an alcohol Different states

106
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: have different rules and alcohol because the citizens and those

107
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 1: states elect representatives to represent their values. What's wrong with

108
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: letting each state determine for itself what to do with marijuana,

109
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: what to do with hamp what to do with alcohol,

110
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: which is the circumstance.

111
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 2: What's wrong with that and get the Feds out of it?

112
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's in a long time position. And

113
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 3: you look the war on drugs at some level. We

114
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 3: want to stop the sentinel at the border. We want

115
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 3: to stop the heroin and cocaine and all those things.

116
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 3: Those are things that that are you know, Schedule one

117
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 3: drugs and have to change everything to change one thing.

118
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 3: And it's clear that there's momentum. I mean, nearly all

119
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 3: fifty states forty plus states, including Ohio, have legalized some

120
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 3: version of marijuana, including recreational marijuana, medicine, medicinal marijuana. But

121
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 3: then they've got different regulations on it, and the federal

122
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 3: government is still treating it as if you know, marijuana

123
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 3: is heroin, and the public isn't treating it that way,

124
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 3: and the right place to have this fight is in

125
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 3: the ag Approach Bill or in standalone legislation, not leveraging

126
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 3: a government shutdown to do it. And so, you know,

127
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 3: I think you're going to get the votes. I think

128
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 3: it's be hard for me to see some of my

129
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 3: colleagues do it, but nevertheless they got voting cards too.

130
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 3: We'll see at seven all right.

131
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 2: Now.

132
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: Secondly, sometime this afternoon, King Jeffries is saying he's going

133
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 1: to put try to put in the in the Rules

134
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: Committee provisions about saving Obamacare, to spend more taxpayers money

135
00:06:55,680 --> 00:07:00,040
Speaker 1: on Obamacare, which is miserably failed. I had assume that

136
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: that's not going to be the case. But can you

137
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 1: tell the American people why Congressman Warren Davidson is not

138
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: going to give special reference to those with Obamacare premium

139
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: support with the moneys going to the insurance companies not

140
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: to the users of the product, and then the insurance

141
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: companies are making billions and billions and billions of dollars

142
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: and then jacking up the premiums for the users of

143
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: the product. Anyway, can you give me a capsule as

144
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 1: to why you do not want to put into this

145
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: bill some requirement of taxpayer assistance for a government program

146
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: that's failed miserably.

147
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean Democrats have been trying to get this

148
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 3: done for a while, and Republicans have never voted to

149
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 3: support Obamacare, including these COVID era subsidies. So these are

150
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 3: COVID subsidies that when there was a pandemic going on,

151
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 3: they said, well, look let's send a straight pipe of

152
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 3: money to the insurance companies, so these massive increases and

153
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 3: costs that are attributable to the pandemic aren't passed on

154
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 3: to consumers in the insurance sector. That was the justification,

155
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 3: and Democrats passed that with all Democrat votes, no Republicans,

156
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 3: and Democrats set them to expire because I think they

157
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 3: assumed that the pandemic would eventually be over, and the

158
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 3: pandemic is in fact over, So there's been a very

159
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 3: long runway on this. But the insurance companies didn't really

160
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 3: hold down premiums, they didn't improve their performance in any respect.

161
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 3: And the idea that you're going to straight pipe this

162
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 3: money to the insurance companies is crazy. So I hope

163
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 3: that none of my colleagues joined this crazy idea to

164
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 3: bail out a failing program. With Obamacare. I hope what

165
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 3: the speaker does is he creates either a Healthcare Committee

166
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 3: or select me on Healthcare to highlight all the solutions,

167
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 3: not just this one that the Democrats or Democratic socialists

168
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 3: seem to favor, because it's designed. The only way that

169
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 3: Obamacare has been successful is designed to keep demanding more

170
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 3: and more federal money till they reach a tipping point

171
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 3: and say, well, let's just do single payer. That's the

172
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 3: way the program was designed. It was designed to fail,

173
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 3: it is now failing, and the idea that you're going

174
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 3: to take the bait and help prop it up to

175
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 3: me would be a huge mistake for anyone to join in.

176
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 2: So kind of the goal of Mom, Dami, etc.

177
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: Is have a single pair system of the whole country,

178
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: put everybody under Medicare or medicaid. Had the government supply

179
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: so called free medical care to everyone and no one

180
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: else's expensive course, and keep raising taxes to pay for

181
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: these programs. Instead of worried about cost analysis and worry

182
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: about I have to care about what my medical bills are.

183
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 1: Instead of having a market based system, they want a

184
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 1: system of creeping socialism and Marxism in which the government

185
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 1: determines who pays for your cell phone, who pays for

186
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: your house, who pays for your food, who pays for

187
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 1: your medical insurance. We're all work for the government in

188
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: one form or another. Then within twenty or thirty years,

189
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 1: we'll look like Cuba or Venezuela.

190
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 3: Correct, Yeah, I mean, and you look. I mean there's

191
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:55,199
Speaker 3: a good graph going around showing the economy in Venezuela

192
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 3: tanking in the economy and Poland soaring. And it's like,

193
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 3: if only there was a way to test these ideas

194
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 3: and see which ones work. And even if you look

195
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 3: at New York City, the people in New York City

196
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 3: should run New York City, not me or the people

197
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 3: of Ohio. But Rudy Giuliani already showed how to clean

198
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 3: up New York City and make it a vibrant city.

199
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 3: And now they said, no, no, let's not go back

200
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 3: to that. Let's try Mundami the kami and you do

201
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 3: that to the world's biggest financial capital in New York City,

202
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 3: and I think the capital and people are just going

203
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 3: to flood out of New York City. I think this

204
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 3: is a bad decision. But hey, they voted, and that's

205
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:33,439
Speaker 3: who they wanted.

206
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 1: Warren Davidson. The big decision is cost a living. The statistics,

207
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: the facts are different than perception. Perception can become reality.

208
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 1: In reality, inflation is about three percent. In reality, gasoline

209
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: prices are down. In reality compared to a year ago,

210
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: grocery prices are down, but the perception is because of

211
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: the media ALSHA prices are skyrocketing. Should Republicans be concerned

212
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: with the reality of inflation or the perception of the

213
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 1: media which tells us that people can't afford to live?

214
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 1: But in reality, inflation is better now than it was

215
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: under Biden, but the media doesn't report that. So, and

216
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: when you're walking in the corridors of power in Washington

217
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,839
Speaker 1: in the Capitol this afternoon, are you thinking in your

218
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 1: mind about your congressional district which are largely middle class

219
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 1: Americans and lower middle class Americans and the perception everything's

220
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: going through the roof and the reality is costed going up.

221
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: Should there be some Republican committee concerned about inflation?

222
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 3: Yeah? Look, I think the economy is always important. It's

223
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 3: always a massive factor in quality of life for people,

224
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,599
Speaker 3: and housing is one of the biggest things you know

225
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 3: when you have inflation, Asset price inflation is the biggest

226
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,719
Speaker 3: thing you've seen that the stock market's great, and if

227
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 3: you already own a home, the housing prices are great.

228
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 3: But for people without those assets, which is frankly most Americans,

229
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 3: they're getting crushed by inflation. And so you've got to

230
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 3: have better answers for this. And you know the answer

231
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 3: isn't more subsidies. What's causing the inflation is massive fiscal depth.

232
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 3: It's the Congress is spending far more money than we're

233
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,679
Speaker 3: bringing in. So if you think about it as a

234
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 3: as a glass, if you take five liters of water

235
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 3: out of a glass and put seven liters in, well,

236
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 3: you clearly raise the level. We're doing that to the

237
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 3: tune at trillions of dollars every year, so we're essentially

238
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 3: pouring two trillion dollars worth of extra government money into

239
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 3: the economy every year. Of course, you're going to have inflation,

240
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 3: and you're still dealing with the consequences of trillions and

241
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 3: trillions of dollars going in during COVID, and the justification

242
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:42,559
Speaker 3: was COVID, but the reality is you massively caused this consequence.

243
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,559
Speaker 3: And so you do that, you can unravel it in

244
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 3: nine or ten months and everything's all fine, again, well,

245
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 3: it's going to take a longer effort. But I think look,

246
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 3: the Trump administration is going in the right direction, and

247
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 3: the burden for Congress is to join that effort and

248
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 3: hopefully accelerate it.

249
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 2: And there's no movement. In fact, you're saying, spend more money.

250
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:05,679
Speaker 1: When a government program fails, like Obamacare, support it, spend

251
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: more money. There's no effort by Democrats or Republicans to say, Okay,

252
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: we bring in five trillion dollars every year, we're gonna

253
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: spend five trillion dollars. When you spend an additional two

254
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 1: trillion dollars, that means there's two trillion more dollars chasing

255
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 1: limited products, which means the price is going to go up.

256
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 2: That's inflation.

257
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 1: I see no hope of the federal government borrowing less

258
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 1: than two trillion dollars, which is about six billion dollars

259
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 1: every day of new money. As far as the eye

260
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,319
Speaker 1: can see. I don't see the Trump budget saying Okay,

261
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: we're gonna spend exactly what we bring in. The Trump

262
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 1: budget means we're going to spend two trillion dollars more

263
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: every year as far as the I can see, which

264
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 1: is a permanent weight on the shoulders of Americans every day.

265
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: When you have more dollars chasing fewer products, prices will

266
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:53,439
Speaker 1: go up.

267
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 2: Am I right about that?

268
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 3: You one hundred percent? And look, the big thing is

269
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 3: if you look at the things that are substant their

270
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 3: inflation far outpaces everything else. So education's expensive, well, let's

271
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 3: subsidize it. Well, the inflation rate for education's massive compared

272
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 3: to the rest of the market. Let's subsidize housing. Well, okay,

273
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 3: the inflation rate's massive compared to the rest of the market.

274
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 3: Let's subsidize healthcare. The biggest worst inflation is healthcare because

275
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 3: it's the most subsidized thing. And so you know the

276
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 3: idea that people can't get this cause and effect right,

277
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 3: and they say, well, well, more redistribution, more spending. The

278
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 3: redistribution and subsidies hide the crime of this tax on

279
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 3: people that comes from overspending. When you spend more money,

280
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 3: it causes the inflation. And if you just do more

281
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 3: redistribution and more subsidies, it helps the people doing this

282
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 3: damage to everyday Americans get away with the crime. And

283
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 3: I think, look, we've got to turn this massive excess

284
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 3: spending off, and gosh, we're at a point where even

285
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 3: republic had a hard time defunding MPR. Right, how yeah,

286
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 3: how low the bar is. We barely got the votes

287
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 3: to defund in PR, and we have much bigger structural problems.

288
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 3: But the right way to do that is through the

289
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 3: appropriations path, not you know, with the leverage of a

290
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 3: government shutdown.

291
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 2: Warren Davidson.

292
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: Long term, I'm not optimistic because if these things don't

293
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: happen with Republicans controlling the House, Senate, the presidency, what's

294
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: going to happen in a year or three years or

295
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 1: five years when once again came Jeffries, maybe Governor Pritzer,

296
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: And I don't know, I picked somebody in the Senate,

297
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: Elizabeth Warren, when they're in charge of governmental spending, Katie

298
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 1: bar the door. If Republicans can't constrain this, I have

299
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 1: no hope for Democrats. So why can't you Republicans constrain spending?

300
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, that is the question, right, and the default for

301
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 3: both parties has been you know, the Democrats haven't express

302
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 3: train to the crash light and Republicans just have a

303
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 3: regular train to the crash slight. They're headed the same place.

304
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 3: And the real question is is do you take this

305
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 3: quote principal position, I'm voting for nothing unless it already

306
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 3: you know, balances and does the right things. Or do

307
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 3: you say, I'm willing to vote for things that help

308
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 3: us move in the right direction. And that's the position

309
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 3: I've taken, is you know, I'm willing to vote for

310
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 3: some things but not everything. And some people come and say, well,

311
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 3: unless it goes to the right direction, right out of

312
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 3: the gate, I'm voting no on everything. But the reality

313
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 3: is a lot of people, I tell people Republican politics

314
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 3: is a little too much like Nascar. People get in

315
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 3: the race and they just start turning left. So that's

316
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 3: part of the success of this navigating the cr shutdown

317
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 3: is Speaker Johnson took everybody out of town. They keep

318
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 3: the leverage on the Senate, keep pressure on the Senate,

319
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 3: because otherwise I think the surrender caucus in the House

320
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 3: would form and the Moderates would cut a deal with

321
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 3: the Democrats and we would just keep turn left. So

322
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 3: it came at a big price, but Speaker Johnson led

323
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 3: a fight here and kept the burden where it belonged,

324
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 3: which is on the Senate.

325
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 1: And if any change happens tonight at seven o'clock or

326
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 1: eight o'clock. Then it's going to go back to the Senate.

327
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: Going back to the Senate is a non starter, but

328
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 1: the Democrats would get what they want, which is total chaos.

329
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,239
Speaker 1: If this thing done past tonight, the markets are going

330
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 1: to crash, the planes aren't gonna fly, the hungry won't

331
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: be fed, the cops are going to walk off their

332
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 1: job in federal workforce. The military won't be paid, the

333
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: FBI won't be paid. Chaos, confusion constantly, which is what

334
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: Greg Lansman won. He wants not to feed the hungry,

335
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 1: he wants the cops not to be paid. He wants

336
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:40,640
Speaker 1: complete confusion to throw crap on the Republicans politically. Warren Davidson,

337
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: we got to run. We left to decide the issue

338
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:46,160
Speaker 1: of illegal alien truck drivers killing Americans. That's another thing

339
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: we'll deal with another day because they're out there on

340
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 1: the roads. But Warren Davidson, your guest is tonight it

341
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: will pass. We'll see what happens. I'll be monitoring things

342
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,120
Speaker 1: as you will. Once again, thanks for coming on the Bill,

343
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: Cunningham shure. We're reporting back to your constituents what's happening

344

Speaker 1: in the nation Capital Aarren Davidson.

345
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 3: Thank you very much, always an honor. God bless you

346
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 3: and all your listeners.

347
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 2: And God bless America. Let's continue with more.

348
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,919
Speaker 1: If it can't be done, now, restrain a federal spending

349
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: it can't be done.

350
