WEBVTT - 11-12-25 Willie with Warren Davidson

0:00:07.280 --> 0:00:09.799
<v Speaker 1>Bill cunning in the Great America and welcome this glorious

0:00:09.880 --> 0:00:12.360
<v Speaker 1>cold but getting better Wednesday afternoon in the tri State.

0:00:12.760 --> 0:00:16.280
<v Speaker 1>And of course tonight's tonight watching all day morning talk shows,

0:00:17.120 --> 0:00:19.520
<v Speaker 1>we'll see what happens the CNNs of the world of

0:00:19.640 --> 0:00:22.239
<v Speaker 1>just begging the two or three Republicans four or five

0:00:22.600 --> 0:00:24.720
<v Speaker 1>don't vote for the spending package and then try to

0:00:24.760 --> 0:00:27.639
<v Speaker 1>send them back to the Senate for more chaos and confusion.

0:00:28.080 --> 0:00:30.560
<v Speaker 1>That's what they're banking on. Joining you and I now

0:00:31.000 --> 0:00:34.600
<v Speaker 1>is the great Representative Warren Davidson of Ohio eight soon

0:00:34.600 --> 0:00:37.080
<v Speaker 1>to become Ohio one, I think, but I'm not sure

0:00:37.080 --> 0:00:40.440
<v Speaker 1>about that either. And once again, Warren Davidson, Welcome to

0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:43.400
<v Speaker 1>the Bill Cunningham Show this Wednesday afternoon. So as we

0:00:43.440 --> 0:00:45.919
<v Speaker 1>sit here about six or seven hours from the vote,

0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:49.560
<v Speaker 1>supposedly about seven pm to night, you've had the head counts.

0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:52.960
<v Speaker 1>You're looking around, CNN is saying there'll be numerous Republicans

0:00:53.360 --> 0:00:56.520
<v Speaker 1>from districts that grow a lot of hemp or sell

0:00:56.560 --> 0:00:59.720
<v Speaker 1>these drinks and fused with CBD aren't going to vote

0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:02.040
<v Speaker 1>for this thing until that's taken out. Every one of

0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:04.600
<v Speaker 1>those businesses have one year to wrap up their business,

0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:07.040
<v Speaker 1>et cetera. So, as we said here about seven hours

0:01:07.080 --> 0:01:10.160
<v Speaker 1>before seven pm, how are we looking for a positive vote?

0:01:10.280 --> 0:01:11.360
<v Speaker 2>CNN is hoping no.

0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:14.440
<v Speaker 3>What do you say, Well, look, I think we'll have

0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:16.400
<v Speaker 3>the votes in the House, and I think Republicans are

0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:18.600
<v Speaker 3>going to get behind it. I think maybe even a

0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:21.560
<v Speaker 3>handful of Democrats. Jared Golden from Maine was the only

0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:23.959
<v Speaker 3>Democrat that voted for it back in September when we

0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:26.920
<v Speaker 3>voted on the Queen tr in the House. And you're

0:01:26.959 --> 0:01:30.160
<v Speaker 3>referencing the AG Bill, and look, the reality is lobbyist

0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:34.640
<v Speaker 3>from marijuana out maneuvered lobbyists from the hemp industry. And

0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:37.080
<v Speaker 3>the honest thing is to just regulate the TCHD as

0:01:37.080 --> 0:01:40.880
<v Speaker 3>the THC because when hemp was deregulated, it was because

0:01:40.920 --> 0:01:43.360
<v Speaker 3>there wasn't THHD in it. Well, there is a little bit.

0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:45.800
<v Speaker 3>So if you concentrate it and extract it and turn

0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:49.480
<v Speaker 3>it into oil, you can sell it into the vape industry,

0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:52.360
<v Speaker 3>you can sell it into energy, drink industry and other things.

0:01:52.680 --> 0:01:55.840
<v Speaker 3>And they have been and so hopefully this will get fixed.

0:01:55.880 --> 0:01:57.680
<v Speaker 3>I mean, this should have been a clean fight in

0:01:57.760 --> 0:02:00.480
<v Speaker 3>the ag Approach Bill, but it's kind of jammed in.

0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:05.280
<v Speaker 3>That's not uncommon in appropriations bills, and it really is

0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:07.520
<v Speaker 3>a part of ag approach. And here's another one that

0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:10.400
<v Speaker 3>was in there, Senator Ted Cruz buried in a provision

0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:14.320
<v Speaker 3>that lets senators sue if the government spies on them. Uh.

0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:16.799
<v Speaker 3>And the reality is the government shouldn't be fined on

0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:20.040
<v Speaker 3>any America a little, you know, and there shouldn't just

0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:22.520
<v Speaker 3>be a special carve out for senators. So it's a

0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:25.760
<v Speaker 3>poisoned till by Ted Cruz in my mind, in the

0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:28.960
<v Speaker 3>Legislative Approbes Bill. So for that reason, you know, you

0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:31.760
<v Speaker 3>could you could say, well, look, I'm opposed to this provision,

0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:33.840
<v Speaker 3>but the idea that you're going to take down the

0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:37.080
<v Speaker 3>whole package and cause the government to continue to be

0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:39.160
<v Speaker 3>shut down. That was the whole point of the cr

0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:41.600
<v Speaker 3>in the first place, is let's have the appropriations fight.

0:02:42.120 --> 0:02:43.680
<v Speaker 3>And so I think there's a lot of appetite to

0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:45.240
<v Speaker 3>just get on with appropriations.

0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:47.920
<v Speaker 1>Warren Davidson, So you're saying this first time I heard this.

0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:49.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm not much in the world but marijuana, believe it

0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:54.160
<v Speaker 1>or not. But nonetheless, so you got the marijuana growers

0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:59.320
<v Speaker 1>and users fighting those with hamp CBD and THC.

0:02:59.360 --> 0:02:59.880
<v Speaker 2>Do I have that right.

0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:03.520
<v Speaker 1>So those two industries are fighting for billions of dollars

0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:07.400
<v Speaker 1>and they set it bill nodded toward the marijuana and

0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:08.320
<v Speaker 1>not toward the hemp.

0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:10.520
<v Speaker 2>Is that correct, That's right.

0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:13.040
<v Speaker 3>That's basically the feud and the turf war, and the

0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:16.360
<v Speaker 3>path to peace is to just treat THHC as THCHC.

0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:19.840
<v Speaker 3>Whether it comes from marijuana or hemp or some lab somewhere,

0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:25.320
<v Speaker 3>it's an intoxicating substance. It's mind altering and in that sense,

0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:28.079
<v Speaker 3>you know, it does different things than alcohol, but similar

0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:30.160
<v Speaker 3>to alcohol. And so there's a way to do this,

0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:32.560
<v Speaker 3>and frankly, maybe the smart way is to let states

0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:35.240
<v Speaker 3>regulate a lot of this the same way that they

0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:38.640
<v Speaker 3>regulate alcohol and get the federal government out of treating

0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:42.960
<v Speaker 3>this as a Class one substance and just, you know,

0:03:43.400 --> 0:03:46.800
<v Speaker 3>let states do it because they have. Overwhelmingly states around

0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:49.600
<v Speaker 3>the country are legalizing marijuana. I don't think it's been

0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:52.720
<v Speaker 3>a success to have legalized it. I don't think it's

0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:55.240
<v Speaker 3>smart to use it, but lots of people do. And

0:03:56.280 --> 0:03:59.400
<v Speaker 3>we've had this own sort of loophole in Ohio because

0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:01.720
<v Speaker 3>of the way they lead marijuana. But then HIMP is

0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:04.960
<v Speaker 3>kind of backdoor doing you know, no regulation.

0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:07.800
<v Speaker 1>All right, So do you know what the Trump position

0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:11.160
<v Speaker 1>is on taking marijuana from Schedule one to Schedule three?

0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:13.600
<v Speaker 1>I know the Trump star doesn't like drinking done like

0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:17.960
<v Speaker 1>alcohol done like marijuana. What is the status of him

0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:20.560
<v Speaker 1>taking it from a Schedule one to a Schedule three?

0:04:20.720 --> 0:04:21.559
<v Speaker 2>Is that going to happen?

0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:26.160
<v Speaker 3>Well, it's hard to do with just executive action, and

0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:29.200
<v Speaker 3>the legislative votes are hard to get. I mean, honestly,

0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:32.080
<v Speaker 3>we've had a hard time as Republicans getting people there.

0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:34.560
<v Speaker 3>And you know, I've been a longtime co sponsor of

0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:39.120
<v Speaker 3>legislation that would you know, you know, you're d banking

0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:43.240
<v Speaker 3>people just because you know they work in certain industries

0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:46.239
<v Speaker 3>and they're lawfully employed. They can't get a mortgage because

0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:49.000
<v Speaker 3>the source of their income is tied to this, and

0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:52.440
<v Speaker 3>you should let the regulation be the regulation about it.

0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:55.320
<v Speaker 3>States have overwhelmingly done that. The federal government has done

0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:59.880
<v Speaker 3>nothing about it. So it's really long overdue to just

0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:04.039
<v Speaker 3>treated as a Schedule three item. And you know, the

0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:05.919
<v Speaker 3>States Act as a bill that I'm a co sponsor

0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:08.200
<v Speaker 3>of that would let states regulate it more effect it.

0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:11.159
<v Speaker 3>It's clear that the federal government has been completely dysfunctional

0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:12.360
<v Speaker 3>on this subject.

0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:18.000
<v Speaker 1>I like federalism. Alabama's different than California, Ohio is different

0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:22.640
<v Speaker 1>than Massachusetts. One not much like an alcohol Different states

0:05:22.640 --> 0:05:25.560
<v Speaker 1>have different rules and alcohol because the citizens and those

0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:30.040
<v Speaker 1>states elect representatives to represent their values. What's wrong with

0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:34.000
<v Speaker 1>letting each state determine for itself what to do with marijuana,

0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:36.400
<v Speaker 1>what to do with hamp what to do with alcohol,

0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:37.640
<v Speaker 1>which is the circumstance.

0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:40.120
<v Speaker 2>What's wrong with that and get the Feds out of it?

0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:43.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean that's in a long time position. And

0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:46.400
<v Speaker 3>you look the war on drugs at some level. We

0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:48.440
<v Speaker 3>want to stop the sentinel at the border. We want

0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:51.480
<v Speaker 3>to stop the heroin and cocaine and all those things.

0:05:52.000 --> 0:05:54.480
<v Speaker 3>Those are things that that are you know, Schedule one

0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:59.400
<v Speaker 3>drugs and have to change everything to change one thing.

0:05:59.839 --> 0:06:03.560
<v Speaker 3>And it's clear that there's momentum. I mean, nearly all

0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:09.080
<v Speaker 3>fifty states forty plus states, including Ohio, have legalized some

0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:13.159
<v Speaker 3>version of marijuana, including recreational marijuana, medicine, medicinal marijuana. But

0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:15.520
<v Speaker 3>then they've got different regulations on it, and the federal

0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:18.520
<v Speaker 3>government is still treating it as if you know, marijuana

0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:23.240
<v Speaker 3>is heroin, and the public isn't treating it that way,

0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:26.240
<v Speaker 3>and the right place to have this fight is in

0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:31.120
<v Speaker 3>the ag Approach Bill or in standalone legislation, not leveraging

0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:33.960
<v Speaker 3>a government shutdown to do it. And so, you know,

0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:36.360
<v Speaker 3>I think you're going to get the votes. I think

0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:38.640
<v Speaker 3>it's be hard for me to see some of my

0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:41.080
<v Speaker 3>colleagues do it, but nevertheless they got voting cards too.

0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:42.920
<v Speaker 3>We'll see at seven all right.

0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:43.120
<v Speaker 2>Now.

0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:47.320
<v Speaker 1>Secondly, sometime this afternoon, King Jeffries is saying he's going

0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:49.839
<v Speaker 1>to put try to put in the in the Rules

0:06:49.880 --> 0:06:55.520
<v Speaker 1>Committee provisions about saving Obamacare, to spend more taxpayers money

0:06:55.680 --> 0:07:00.040
<v Speaker 1>on Obamacare, which is miserably failed. I had assume that

0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:02.080
<v Speaker 1>that's not going to be the case. But can you

0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:05.839
<v Speaker 1>tell the American people why Congressman Warren Davidson is not

0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:09.880
<v Speaker 1>going to give special reference to those with Obamacare premium

0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:13.360
<v Speaker 1>support with the moneys going to the insurance companies not

0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:16.080
<v Speaker 1>to the users of the product, and then the insurance

0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:19.120
<v Speaker 1>companies are making billions and billions and billions of dollars

0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:22.000
<v Speaker 1>and then jacking up the premiums for the users of

0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:24.920
<v Speaker 1>the product. Anyway, can you give me a capsule as

0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:27.120
<v Speaker 1>to why you do not want to put into this

0:07:27.200 --> 0:07:31.480
<v Speaker 1>bill some requirement of taxpayer assistance for a government program

0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:32.520
<v Speaker 1>that's failed miserably.

0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:36.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean Democrats have been trying to get this

0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:40.160
<v Speaker 3>done for a while, and Republicans have never voted to

0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:44.080
<v Speaker 3>support Obamacare, including these COVID era subsidies. So these are

0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:47.120
<v Speaker 3>COVID subsidies that when there was a pandemic going on,

0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:49.080
<v Speaker 3>they said, well, look let's send a straight pipe of

0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:52.440
<v Speaker 3>money to the insurance companies, so these massive increases and

0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:57.040
<v Speaker 3>costs that are attributable to the pandemic aren't passed on

0:07:57.160 --> 0:08:01.400
<v Speaker 3>to consumers in the insurance sector. That was the justification,

0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:05.280
<v Speaker 3>and Democrats passed that with all Democrat votes, no Republicans,

0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:08.160
<v Speaker 3>and Democrats set them to expire because I think they

0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:11.280
<v Speaker 3>assumed that the pandemic would eventually be over, and the

0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:13.480
<v Speaker 3>pandemic is in fact over, So there's been a very

0:08:13.480 --> 0:08:16.840
<v Speaker 3>long runway on this. But the insurance companies didn't really

0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:20.600
<v Speaker 3>hold down premiums, they didn't improve their performance in any respect.

0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:22.880
<v Speaker 3>And the idea that you're going to straight pipe this

0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:27.440
<v Speaker 3>money to the insurance companies is crazy. So I hope

0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:30.200
<v Speaker 3>that none of my colleagues joined this crazy idea to

0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:33.120
<v Speaker 3>bail out a failing program. With Obamacare. I hope what

0:08:33.160 --> 0:08:35.480
<v Speaker 3>the speaker does is he creates either a Healthcare Committee

0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:38.800
<v Speaker 3>or select me on Healthcare to highlight all the solutions,

0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:42.640
<v Speaker 3>not just this one that the Democrats or Democratic socialists

0:08:43.120 --> 0:08:46.160
<v Speaker 3>seem to favor, because it's designed. The only way that

0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:50.720
<v Speaker 3>Obamacare has been successful is designed to keep demanding more

0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:53.880
<v Speaker 3>and more federal money till they reach a tipping point

0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:56.400
<v Speaker 3>and say, well, let's just do single payer. That's the

0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:58.800
<v Speaker 3>way the program was designed. It was designed to fail,

0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:01.200
<v Speaker 3>it is now failing, and the idea that you're going

0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:03.520
<v Speaker 3>to take the bait and help prop it up to

0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:06.280
<v Speaker 3>me would be a huge mistake for anyone to join in.

0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:09.200
<v Speaker 2>So kind of the goal of Mom, Dami, etc.

0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:11.640
<v Speaker 1>Is have a single pair system of the whole country,

0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:15.400
<v Speaker 1>put everybody under Medicare or medicaid. Had the government supply

0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:18.400
<v Speaker 1>so called free medical care to everyone and no one

0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:21.600
<v Speaker 1>else's expensive course, and keep raising taxes to pay for

0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:24.920
<v Speaker 1>these programs. Instead of worried about cost analysis and worry

0:09:24.920 --> 0:09:28.240
<v Speaker 1>about I have to care about what my medical bills are.

0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:31.560
<v Speaker 1>Instead of having a market based system, they want a

0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:35.720
<v Speaker 1>system of creeping socialism and Marxism in which the government

0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:39.200
<v Speaker 1>determines who pays for your cell phone, who pays for

0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:41.360
<v Speaker 1>your house, who pays for your food, who pays for

0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:43.600
<v Speaker 1>your medical insurance. We're all work for the government in

0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:46.120
<v Speaker 1>one form or another. Then within twenty or thirty years,

0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:48.080
<v Speaker 1>we'll look like Cuba or Venezuela.

0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:51.520
<v Speaker 3>Correct, Yeah, I mean, and you look. I mean there's

0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:55.199
<v Speaker 3>a good graph going around showing the economy in Venezuela

0:09:55.640 --> 0:09:59.640
<v Speaker 3>tanking in the economy and Poland soaring. And it's like,

0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:02.320
<v Speaker 3>if only there was a way to test these ideas

0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:05.960
<v Speaker 3>and see which ones work. And even if you look

0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:07.520
<v Speaker 3>at New York City, the people in New York City

0:10:07.559 --> 0:10:10.120
<v Speaker 3>should run New York City, not me or the people

0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:13.320
<v Speaker 3>of Ohio. But Rudy Giuliani already showed how to clean

0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:15.880
<v Speaker 3>up New York City and make it a vibrant city.

0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:18.400
<v Speaker 3>And now they said, no, no, let's not go back

0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:22.920
<v Speaker 3>to that. Let's try Mundami the kami and you do

0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:26.600
<v Speaker 3>that to the world's biggest financial capital in New York City,

0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:28.800
<v Speaker 3>and I think the capital and people are just going

0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:30.320
<v Speaker 3>to flood out of New York City. I think this

0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:32.880
<v Speaker 3>is a bad decision. But hey, they voted, and that's

0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:33.439
<v Speaker 3>who they wanted.

0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:37.440
<v Speaker 1>Warren Davidson. The big decision is cost a living. The statistics,

0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:41.760
<v Speaker 1>the facts are different than perception. Perception can become reality.

0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:47.200
<v Speaker 1>In reality, inflation is about three percent. In reality, gasoline

0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:50.120
<v Speaker 1>prices are down. In reality compared to a year ago,

0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:54.120
<v Speaker 1>grocery prices are down, but the perception is because of

0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:59.760
<v Speaker 1>the media ALSHA prices are skyrocketing. Should Republicans be concerned

0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:03.240
<v Speaker 1>with the reality of inflation or the perception of the

0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:06.200
<v Speaker 1>media which tells us that people can't afford to live?

0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:08.960
<v Speaker 1>But in reality, inflation is better now than it was

0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:11.920
<v Speaker 1>under Biden, but the media doesn't report that. So, and

0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:15.520
<v Speaker 1>when you're walking in the corridors of power in Washington

0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:18.839
<v Speaker 1>in the Capitol this afternoon, are you thinking in your

0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:22.200
<v Speaker 1>mind about your congressional district which are largely middle class

0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:26.440
<v Speaker 1>Americans and lower middle class Americans and the perception everything's

0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:29.640
<v Speaker 1>going through the roof and the reality is costed going up.

0:11:29.800 --> 0:11:32.640
<v Speaker 1>Should there be some Republican committee concerned about inflation?

0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:37.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? Look, I think the economy is always important. It's

0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:40.480
<v Speaker 3>always a massive factor in quality of life for people,

0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:43.599
<v Speaker 3>and housing is one of the biggest things you know

0:11:43.920 --> 0:11:46.800
<v Speaker 3>when you have inflation, Asset price inflation is the biggest

0:11:46.880 --> 0:11:49.719
<v Speaker 3>thing you've seen that the stock market's great, and if

0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:52.080
<v Speaker 3>you already own a home, the housing prices are great.

0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:57.040
<v Speaker 3>But for people without those assets, which is frankly most Americans,

0:11:57.559 --> 0:12:00.520
<v Speaker 3>they're getting crushed by inflation. And so you've got to

0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:03.520
<v Speaker 3>have better answers for this. And you know the answer

0:12:03.559 --> 0:12:07.640
<v Speaker 3>isn't more subsidies. What's causing the inflation is massive fiscal depth.

0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:10.480
<v Speaker 3>It's the Congress is spending far more money than we're

0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:12.679
<v Speaker 3>bringing in. So if you think about it as a

0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:16.000
<v Speaker 3>as a glass, if you take five liters of water

0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:18.600
<v Speaker 3>out of a glass and put seven liters in, well,

0:12:18.640 --> 0:12:21.520
<v Speaker 3>you clearly raise the level. We're doing that to the

0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:24.440
<v Speaker 3>tune at trillions of dollars every year, so we're essentially

0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:28.400
<v Speaker 3>pouring two trillion dollars worth of extra government money into

0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:31.280
<v Speaker 3>the economy every year. Of course, you're going to have inflation,

0:12:31.600 --> 0:12:34.400
<v Speaker 3>and you're still dealing with the consequences of trillions and

0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:37.800
<v Speaker 3>trillions of dollars going in during COVID, and the justification

0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:42.559
<v Speaker 3>was COVID, but the reality is you massively caused this consequence.

0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:44.559
<v Speaker 3>And so you do that, you can unravel it in

0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:49.400
<v Speaker 3>nine or ten months and everything's all fine, again, well,

0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:51.480
<v Speaker 3>it's going to take a longer effort. But I think look,

0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:54.160
<v Speaker 3>the Trump administration is going in the right direction, and

0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:56.800
<v Speaker 3>the burden for Congress is to join that effort and

0:12:56.880 --> 0:12:58.040
<v Speaker 3>hopefully accelerate it.

0:12:58.160 --> 0:13:01.480
<v Speaker 2>And there's no movement. In fact, you're saying, spend more money.

0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:05.679
<v Speaker 1>When a government program fails, like Obamacare, support it, spend

0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:09.920
<v Speaker 1>more money. There's no effort by Democrats or Republicans to say, Okay,

0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:13.640
<v Speaker 1>we bring in five trillion dollars every year, we're gonna

0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:16.800
<v Speaker 1>spend five trillion dollars. When you spend an additional two

0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:20.720
<v Speaker 1>trillion dollars, that means there's two trillion more dollars chasing

0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:23.440
<v Speaker 1>limited products, which means the price is going to go up.

0:13:23.679 --> 0:13:24.440
<v Speaker 2>That's inflation.

0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:28.680
<v Speaker 1>I see no hope of the federal government borrowing less

0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:32.200
<v Speaker 1>than two trillion dollars, which is about six billion dollars

0:13:32.240 --> 0:13:34.320
<v Speaker 1>every day of new money. As far as the eye

0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:37.319
<v Speaker 1>can see. I don't see the Trump budget saying Okay,

0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:40.400
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna spend exactly what we bring in. The Trump

0:13:40.400 --> 0:13:42.960
<v Speaker 1>budget means we're going to spend two trillion dollars more

0:13:43.040 --> 0:13:45.880
<v Speaker 1>every year as far as the I can see, which

0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:49.960
<v Speaker 1>is a permanent weight on the shoulders of Americans every day.

0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:53.040
<v Speaker 1>When you have more dollars chasing fewer products, prices will

0:13:53.080 --> 0:13:53.439
<v Speaker 1>go up.

0:13:53.520 --> 0:13:54.360
<v Speaker 2>Am I right about that?

0:13:55.280 --> 0:13:58.240
<v Speaker 3>You one hundred percent? And look, the big thing is

0:13:58.600 --> 0:14:01.560
<v Speaker 3>if you look at the things that are substant their

0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:05.360
<v Speaker 3>inflation far outpaces everything else. So education's expensive, well, let's

0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:09.080
<v Speaker 3>subsidize it. Well, the inflation rate for education's massive compared

0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:12.160
<v Speaker 3>to the rest of the market. Let's subsidize housing. Well, okay,

0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:14.640
<v Speaker 3>the inflation rate's massive compared to the rest of the market.

0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:20.080
<v Speaker 3>Let's subsidize healthcare. The biggest worst inflation is healthcare because

0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:23.240
<v Speaker 3>it's the most subsidized thing. And so you know the

0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:25.880
<v Speaker 3>idea that people can't get this cause and effect right,

0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:29.840
<v Speaker 3>and they say, well, well, more redistribution, more spending. The

0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:35.800
<v Speaker 3>redistribution and subsidies hide the crime of this tax on

0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:39.640
<v Speaker 3>people that comes from overspending. When you spend more money,

0:14:40.040 --> 0:14:42.920
<v Speaker 3>it causes the inflation. And if you just do more

0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:46.600
<v Speaker 3>redistribution and more subsidies, it helps the people doing this

0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:51.880
<v Speaker 3>damage to everyday Americans get away with the crime. And

0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:55.040
<v Speaker 3>I think, look, we've got to turn this massive excess

0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:59.560
<v Speaker 3>spending off, and gosh, we're at a point where even

0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:03.520
<v Speaker 3>republic had a hard time defunding MPR. Right, how yeah,

0:15:03.520 --> 0:15:05.920
<v Speaker 3>how low the bar is. We barely got the votes

0:15:05.960 --> 0:15:10.280
<v Speaker 3>to defund in PR, and we have much bigger structural problems.

0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:12.320
<v Speaker 3>But the right way to do that is through the

0:15:12.320 --> 0:15:15.760
<v Speaker 3>appropriations path, not you know, with the leverage of a

0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:17.160
<v Speaker 3>government shutdown.

0:15:17.160 --> 0:15:17.960
<v Speaker 2>Warren Davidson.

0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:21.920
<v Speaker 1>Long term, I'm not optimistic because if these things don't

0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:26.200
<v Speaker 1>happen with Republicans controlling the House, Senate, the presidency, what's

0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:29.160
<v Speaker 1>going to happen in a year or three years or

0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:34.280
<v Speaker 1>five years when once again came Jeffries, maybe Governor Pritzer,

0:15:34.800 --> 0:15:37.200
<v Speaker 1>And I don't know, I picked somebody in the Senate,

0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:41.240
<v Speaker 1>Elizabeth Warren, when they're in charge of governmental spending, Katie

0:15:41.240 --> 0:15:45.080
<v Speaker 1>bar the door. If Republicans can't constrain this, I have

0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:49.160
<v Speaker 1>no hope for Democrats. So why can't you Republicans constrain spending?

0:15:50.800 --> 0:15:54.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that is the question, right, and the default for

0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:57.800
<v Speaker 3>both parties has been you know, the Democrats haven't express

0:15:58.000 --> 0:16:00.200
<v Speaker 3>train to the crash light and Republicans just have a

0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:03.480
<v Speaker 3>regular train to the crash slight. They're headed the same place.

0:16:04.040 --> 0:16:06.560
<v Speaker 3>And the real question is is do you take this

0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:10.240
<v Speaker 3>quote principal position, I'm voting for nothing unless it already

0:16:10.760 --> 0:16:13.440
<v Speaker 3>you know, balances and does the right things. Or do

0:16:13.480 --> 0:16:15.480
<v Speaker 3>you say, I'm willing to vote for things that help

0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:18.600
<v Speaker 3>us move in the right direction. And that's the position

0:16:18.640 --> 0:16:20.360
<v Speaker 3>I've taken, is you know, I'm willing to vote for

0:16:20.400 --> 0:16:23.560
<v Speaker 3>some things but not everything. And some people come and say, well,

0:16:23.640 --> 0:16:25.720
<v Speaker 3>unless it goes to the right direction, right out of

0:16:25.760 --> 0:16:29.640
<v Speaker 3>the gate, I'm voting no on everything. But the reality

0:16:29.720 --> 0:16:32.200
<v Speaker 3>is a lot of people, I tell people Republican politics

0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:34.280
<v Speaker 3>is a little too much like Nascar. People get in

0:16:34.280 --> 0:16:37.480
<v Speaker 3>the race and they just start turning left. So that's

0:16:37.520 --> 0:16:40.960
<v Speaker 3>part of the success of this navigating the cr shutdown

0:16:41.720 --> 0:16:45.800
<v Speaker 3>is Speaker Johnson took everybody out of town. They keep

0:16:45.800 --> 0:16:48.080
<v Speaker 3>the leverage on the Senate, keep pressure on the Senate,

0:16:48.160 --> 0:16:51.720
<v Speaker 3>because otherwise I think the surrender caucus in the House

0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:54.880
<v Speaker 3>would form and the Moderates would cut a deal with

0:16:54.920 --> 0:16:57.040
<v Speaker 3>the Democrats and we would just keep turn left. So

0:16:57.400 --> 0:16:59.760
<v Speaker 3>it came at a big price, but Speaker Johnson led

0:16:59.760 --> 0:17:03.040
<v Speaker 3>a fight here and kept the burden where it belonged,

0:17:03.080 --> 0:17:04.000
<v Speaker 3>which is on the Senate.

0:17:04.080 --> 0:17:06.480
<v Speaker 1>And if any change happens tonight at seven o'clock or

0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:08.760
<v Speaker 1>eight o'clock. Then it's going to go back to the Senate.

0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:12.000
<v Speaker 1>Going back to the Senate is a non starter, but

0:17:12.040 --> 0:17:14.760
<v Speaker 1>the Democrats would get what they want, which is total chaos.

0:17:15.000 --> 0:17:17.239
<v Speaker 1>If this thing done past tonight, the markets are going

0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:20.200
<v Speaker 1>to crash, the planes aren't gonna fly, the hungry won't

0:17:20.240 --> 0:17:22.280
<v Speaker 1>be fed, the cops are going to walk off their

0:17:22.359 --> 0:17:25.840
<v Speaker 1>job in federal workforce. The military won't be paid, the

0:17:25.920 --> 0:17:30.320
<v Speaker 1>FBI won't be paid. Chaos, confusion constantly, which is what

0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:33.480
<v Speaker 1>Greg Lansman won. He wants not to feed the hungry,

0:17:33.600 --> 0:17:35.920
<v Speaker 1>he wants the cops not to be paid. He wants

0:17:35.960 --> 0:17:40.640
<v Speaker 1>complete confusion to throw crap on the Republicans politically. Warren Davidson,

0:17:40.640 --> 0:17:42.520
<v Speaker 1>we got to run. We left to decide the issue

0:17:42.520 --> 0:17:46.160
<v Speaker 1>of illegal alien truck drivers killing Americans. That's another thing

0:17:46.200 --> 0:17:48.080
<v Speaker 1>we'll deal with another day because they're out there on

0:17:48.160 --> 0:17:50.800
<v Speaker 1>the roads. But Warren Davidson, your guest is tonight it

0:17:50.840 --> 0:17:53.560
<v Speaker 1>will pass. We'll see what happens. I'll be monitoring things

0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:56.120
<v Speaker 1>as you will. Once again, thanks for coming on the Bill,

0:17:56.160 --> 0:17:59.600
<v Speaker 1>Cunningham shure. We're reporting back to your constituents what's happening

0:17:59.640 --> 0:18:01.360
<v Speaker 1>in the nation Capital Aarren Davidson.

0:18:01.359 --> 0:18:04.040
<v Speaker 3>Thank you very much, always an honor. God bless you

0:18:04.040 --> 0:18:05.200
<v Speaker 3>and all your listeners.
