1
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 1: Billy cunning in the Great American. Of course, yesterday the

2
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: Senate voted in support of the President. I think it

3
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: was fifty three to forty seven, not to condemn his

4
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,319
Speaker 1: activities in Iran. Jonan, you and I now is Warren

5
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 1: Davidson Congressman. So we're going to vote either today or

6
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 1: tomorrow on the same thing in the House. And I'm

7
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,119
Speaker 1: thanks for giving us some time this afternoon. I know

8
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: you're busy about to go to the House floor. Tell

9
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: us what is the status of the vote in the

10
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 1: House as we speak about supporting or not supporting what's

11
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: happening in Iran and the War Powers Act. Give us

12
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 1: a live update on that.

13
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:41,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean I wouldn't necessarily characterize it the

14
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 2: same way you do, which is, you know why I'm

15
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 2: going to vote in favor of it, even though look,

16
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 2: obviously Iran as an enemy of our country, no one

17
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 2: should more.

18
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 3: In the.

19
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 2: Very timely demise of the Iatola in the Harmioni regime.

20
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 2: It's been frankly been evil. So you know, all of

21
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 2: our troops who are smoking these guys can do so

22
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 2: in a good conscience. Their cause is just, but it

23
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 2: doesn't make it constitutional and so you know, if we

24
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 2: were responding to a direct attack, of course we would

25
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 2: respond in time. But when you want to shift to offense,

26
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 2: that requires congressional authorization. That's been a point Republicans made,

27
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 2: you know, when Barack Obama was doing that in Libya.

28
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 2: It was a point in the nineties when we were

29
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 2: trying to get authorization for Kosovo.

30
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 3: They never did get the votes for it.

31
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 2: Nevertheless, it hasn't stopped presidents from waging war, and sometimes

32
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,119
Speaker 2: they've pretended that it's not war. It's kind of laughable

33
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 2: for people to tap dance around what is clearly war

34
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:46,400
Speaker 2: because the definitions matter in some senses, but you should

35
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 2: just own it. And frankly, you should just come to

36
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 2: Congress and say I'd like to declare laar in Iran.

37
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 2: Or they do have very very defined and achievable goals,

38
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 2: which is you know, uncommon in the past, but this

39
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 2: administration is totally different. They have very defined and achievable goals.

40
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 2: You know, beginning with it, Raan won't have a nuclear weapon.

41
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 2: But they've said three other things since this you know,

42
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 2: operation began, and that they're going to eliminate their capability

43
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 2: with missiles, they're going to take out their navy that

44
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,519
Speaker 2: keeps blocking the straits of poor moves sure, and they're

45
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,239
Speaker 2: going to make sure that Iran can't continue funding groups

46
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 2: like Amas and Hesbelah.

47
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 3: They're Iranian proxy groups.

48
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 2: And I've worked to try to get a vote on

49
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 2: just that for years so that they could designate Amas

50
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 2: and the Hesbelah and the Hutis as enemies of our country.

51
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 2: Because the one Authorization doesn't just say go after terrorists,

52
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 2: it says go after al Qaeda and their affiliates. These

53
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 2: guys aren't al Qaeda and their affiliates.

54
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: So you have a problem a congressman, because the problem

55
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 1: is you have principles, and that's a difficulty in the Congress.

56
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: And so the last time American declared war was in

57
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: Word War two. Going back to eighteen hundred and the

58
00:02:55,800 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: Barbary Pirates with Thomas Jefferson, there's been at least two

59
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty military actions around the world, and the

60
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: Congress's declared war total of five times, and it's been

61
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: like eighty four years last time they did it. And

62
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,519
Speaker 1: so the Gulf of Tonkin resolution of the Vietnam War

63
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: wasn't the declaration of war, but it was similar to that.

64
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 1: And so if there was a declaration of war, I

65
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: think the Trumpster is fearing it won't pass, which is

66
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: a possibility. But because you have principles. I've watched you

67
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: in CNN recently and it's nuanced whether you're going to

68
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 1: vote yes or no because you want to believe in

69
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: the Constitution, which is a novel concept. As I said,

70
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: you have principles, and in Washington that's a problem. So

71
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: if there was a request by President Trump to declare

72
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: war in Iran, how would you vote.

73
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 3: On that one? Well, here's what an open ended war.

74
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 3: I probably wouldn't before.

75
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 2: So the last open ended war was nineteen forty two.

76
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 2: But there were specific authorizations. I mean, it only took

77
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 2: three days after nine to eleven for Congress to come

78
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 2: together and quote authorize that war. And you know, there

79
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 2: was a problem because like the Korean War, and they

80
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 2: never quote called it a war. They called it the

81
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 2: UN Police Action. Everyone knew it was a war. They

82
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 2: didn't name it the Korean UN Police Action.

83
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 3: They called it the Korean War.

84
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: You know, right, Well, how about my question? If the

85
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 1: Trumpster said, Okay, Congressman Warren Davidson, I want to declare

86
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 1: war on Iran, Yes or no? What would be your.

87
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 2: Vote If you said I want to do these three things,

88
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 2: and you know I want you to authorize that for

89
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 2: this Congress, I would say yes, and I just want

90
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 2: to vote on it again every Congress. I think every

91
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 2: Congress should have a vote on whether you stay at war,

92
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 2: because that's how you wind up with these not necessarily

93
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 2: under Trump, that's how you wind up with these things

94
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 2: under You know, you're in Afghanistan for twenty years and

95
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 2: you never defined the mission. That's how you come up

96
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 2: with stupid sayings that started in Afghanistan, went to Iraq

97
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 2: and then was applied by the Biden administration to Ukraine.

98
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 2: As much as it takes, as long as it which

99
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 2: sounds like resolve, but it's resolved to do what. It

100
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 2: never as long as it takes to do what. In

101
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 2: the administration now, President Trump, Secretary Rubio, Secretary Head Seth

102
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 2: are already way ahead of it. They've defined those three

103
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 2: very achievable objectives. And if they said, here's what we

104
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 2: want to do, would you authorize it?

105
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 3: I'd look for it.

106
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 1: But the problem is you have principles you don't belong

107
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 1: in Washington. I'm looking at something on YouTube, and I'll

108
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: rate a quote because it's in the media. Quote, pissed

109
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: off army ranger destroys Maxine Waters so bad she loses

110
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 1: it in front of the Congress. You are the pissed

111
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: off army ranger, Congressman. What happened between you and Maxine

112
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,799
Speaker 1: Waters on the floor of the Congress?

113
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 3: All right?

114
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 2: So after nine to eleven, they created this thing called

115
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 2: the Terrorism Risk Insurance Pool. And why because every contract

116
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 2: you're going to sign is something called a force masure clause,

117
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 2: which is acts of war aren't going to be covered

118
00:05:55,839 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 2: by a normal insurance policy. So the US government operates

119
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 2: Terrorism Risk Insurance fun and Maxine Waters and Sylvia Garcia

120
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 2: from Texas, we're trying to pass an amendment to the

121
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 2: Terrorism Risk Insurance Policy that said it would cover acts

122
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 2: by ICE, Immigration and Customs enforcement, and they're calling them

123
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 2: terrorists terrorists. This was in the wake of Minneapolis, and

124
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 2: I'm like, are you freaking kidding me? I mean, I mean,

125
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 2: I was just so mad, like you're literally calling our

126
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 2: ICE agents terrorists. And because the people in Minneapolis want

127
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 2: to burn their city down again and do all kinds

128
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,919
Speaker 2: of stupid stuff, you think the federal.

129
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 3: Government should pay to fix that.

130
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: Like no, no, no, no. Of course ICE are not

131
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: terrorists or law enforcement. Do ICE agents make a mistake?

132
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:49,720
Speaker 2: Now?

133
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: And then I would say one or two percent of

134
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: the time, Yes, Should those two Americans be killed in Minneapolis?

135
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 3: Know?

136
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: But did their behavior cause their own death?

137
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 3: Yes?

138
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: And on that front, Hillary Clinton supplied Iran with uranium

139
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: to enrich their nuclear program. Barack Hussein Obama gave Iran

140
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: one point seven billion dollars that they used to fund

141
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: their nuclear program. Joe Biden unfroze sixteen billion dollars in

142
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: money for Iran to bring them back into the Community

143
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: of Nations. Did any of those monies given to Iran

144
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: have any positive impact on the world?

145
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 2: No?

146
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: And so the Democrats put ourselves in this position. And

147
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: now Donald Trump's getting us out of that position. And

148
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: so and when you walk around Congress and see AOC

149
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: or you see someone you know like Maxine Waters. Are

150
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: these like human beings you can talk to? Are they

151
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: as weird and private as public?

152
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 3: It's mixed.

153
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, some of them have multiple personalities,

154
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 2: and so they go into like the friendly neighbor personality

155
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 2: and you're like, O, this person seems like normal, and

156
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 2: then they start going into mad Max for Maxine water

157
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 2: and she's crazy. But I will tell you, Adam, shift's

158
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 2: always as slimy as he appears. Man, that guy is

159
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 2: hard to walk past. I'm just glad he's over in

160
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 2: the Senate and I don't have to walk past him

161
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 2: much anymore.

162
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: Well, he might be, you know, he's in the Senate

163
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: right now now. Secondly, the inquir is running a story

164
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: about you and Thomas Massey today. I don't know if

165
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: you've seen it. You're there in the bowels of Washington,

166
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: but they're claiming you're violating your principles by bringing home

167
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: the bacon. It's like fifty million dollars that you and

168
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: Thomas Massey are going to bring back to our area.

169
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: Have you Have you changed your principles in order to

170
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: get a lot of money for your district? How disgusting

171
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: is that?

172
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 3: Yeah?

173
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 2: No, I didn't change my principles. What my standard has

174
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 2: been won. There was no ear marks at all. That

175
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 2: was a long time thing Speaker Bayner, who was my

176
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:49,319
Speaker 2: predecessor in this office, you know, imposed on all of Congress,

177
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 2: and then they're in the ear mark. Man, let me

178
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:56,199
Speaker 2: differentiate between what I support. If there's a federal nexus,

179
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,559
Speaker 2: then I can support it. If there's like some federal

180
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 2: mandate and there's no funding for it, but local communities

181
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 2: are supposed to comply with it, then I'm okay, well,

182
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 2: let's see how we can help you. What I'm against

183
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 2: is what i'd call a true ear mark, which is,

184
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 2: you know, Al Green's a guy from Houston, Texas, and

185
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 2: he thought that Houston should have a Gandhi museum, and

186
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 2: you just charging admission wasn't going to fund it. He

187
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 2: couldn't find a benefactor to give to it. The city

188
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 2: of Houston didn't want to pay for it, the county

189
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 2: didn't want to pay for it, State of Texas didn't,

190
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 2: so they put an ear mark in and they funded

191
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 2: it with federal dollars. That's nonsense, and it should never

192
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 2: be in there, even if I would, Yeah, if I

193
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 2: had some free time in Houston, I might think it

194
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 2: would be interesting to go check out the Gandhi Museum.

195
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 2: But it shouldn't be funded with federal tax dollars. So

196
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 2: that's that's a true ear mark. But the early thing,

197
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 2: the first thing Ohio got from the federal budget like

198
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 2: this is that they got the Ohio River dredged, and

199
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 2: the locks and dams that make the Ohio River navigable

200
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 2: all the way up to Cincinnati all the way to

201
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh came because we directed the Army Corps of Engineers

202
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 2: to stop working in the Gulf of the Americas down

203
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 2: there and open up the Ohio River or wherever else

204
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 2: they were working on building Florida, so it wasn't all underwater.

205
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 2: They made Ohio the priority. And that was, you know,

206
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 2: just a Congress waging in and say, yeah, amongst all

207
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 2: your other things, focus right here. And those are the

208
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 2: kinds of things that I support, things like the unsty

209
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 2: Highway system, which Dwight Eisenhower helped build. There's a federal

210
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 2: nexus a federal highway, and you know, but if you

211
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 2: want federal funding for a county county road, well there's

212
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 2: not a.

213
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 3: Federal nexus there generally.

214
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 2: So that's the distinction I draw is if there's a

215
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 2: true federal nexus, then I can support it.

216
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:41,319
Speaker 1: Well, the InCAR calls it a thirteen million dollar earmark headline,

217
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,439
Speaker 1: and the InCAR this morning is to g Pete, Congressman

218
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 1: at you and Massy criticized earmarks and then requested them

219
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: first sentence two Greater Cincinnati Republicans and for years publicly

220
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: announced airmarks that didn't stop them. That means you from

221
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 1: requesting earmark funds for projects in their districts. I dare

222
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: you do that? I dare you do that? Because you're

223
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: not supposed to request ear marks. That's bad. But when

224
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 1: you do request the ear marks, that's bad too. You

225
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, it's bad, bad, bad.

226
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 2: Well, look the Cincinnati Inquire. You know, they lay lost

227
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 2: most of the readers because they keep publishing stuff that

228
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 2: local folks consider drivel. I hope they improve the paper

229
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,559
Speaker 2: and they can go back to hiring people. They got

230
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 2: it and a lot of good people lost their jobs.

231
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 2: But I hope they cover things that people are interested in,

232
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 2: and they cover them in a way it's just the facts.

233
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 2: And you know, it'd be great if I've read the article.

234
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 2: It would be great if they got around to pointing

235
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 2: out the facts around that. And you know the other side,

236
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 2: the journalism for most of these controlled media people has

237
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 2: just turned into a different version of activism. And the

238
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:49,079
Speaker 2: activists don't want conservatives to request ear marks because that

239
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 2: might mean less to your march for you know, far

240
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 2: left radical.

241
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: Doubts Green how Green I liked his music, is a

242
00:11:55,360 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: terrible congressman. Now, lastly, Thomas Massey, I enjoy the guy.

243
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: I think he's off track, but nonetheless he's going to

244
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: win his district by like eighty percent of the vote.

245
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: I think he requested twenty million dollars in ear marks

246
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: for a CBG airport. Is that keeping with the idea

247
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: that he does not request air marks? You have to

248
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 1: defend Thomas Massey and yourself.

249
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 2: Well, look, I would have supported it'd be nice if

250
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 2: the Cincinnati Airport was in the Cincinnati side instead of out.

251
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 3: There in the middle of nowhere.

252
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: In Kentucky Counties, in the middle of nowhere.

253
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 2: But it is, and it is out there, and it's

254
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 2: a great airport to use and just be nice as

255
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 2: a little closer to a whisle. But but if you

256
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 2: look at it, it's a federally regulated entity. There's a

257
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 2: lot of activity that goes on there, and supporting the

258
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 2: infrastructure development there is important. So, you know, I think

259
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 2: that's probably his conclusion. I haven't coordinated with him on

260
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 2: his view of ear marks, but you know that's you know,

261
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,439
Speaker 2: it's sloppy language to call it all ear marks and

262
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 2: what they he branded him as when Nancy Pelosi was

263
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 2: Speaker again her second time as speaker was she reinitiated them,

264
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 2: and we haven't found the way to get them turned

265
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 2: back off. As they call them community funded projects. Yeah, absolutely,

266
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 2: look at the irony of that. If it was community funded,

267
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 2: I wouldn't be voting on it. That's what property taxes are,

268
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 2: property taxes or community funded projects.

269
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: Well, it says here that you violated your promises about

270
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: pork barrel spending. And I kind of liked the idea

271
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: of having Butler County in Hamlin County having some moneys here.

272
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: I guess Brent Spence Bridge would be another ear mark

273
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: that someone shouldn't have federal dollars to do that. I

274
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: imagine the airport's another ear mark. But lastly, are you

275
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: voting today or tomorrow on the Warpowers Act? Is that

276
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: off the books now? Because the Senate voted down? Where

277
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:50,959
Speaker 1: are we in the in the House?

278
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 3: Yeah?

279
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 2: The House.

280
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 3: The House vote will be today at four o'clock ish.

281
00:13:55,280 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 2: And you know, again, look, I think President Trump's a

282
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 2: negotiator like no one else. The idea that he needed

283
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 2: to raise the stakes and say, look, guys, I wasn't bluffing.

284
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 3: So first it was.

285
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 2: You're not going to have a nuclear weapon. You don't

286
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:10,679
Speaker 2: want to concede that you're not going to have a

287
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 2: nuclear weapon. So now I'm just going to say you're

288
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:14,199
Speaker 2: not going to have niffiles.

289
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 3: All right.

290
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 2: I think that's good tactically on his part, and it's

291
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 2: achievable by our incredibly focused in lethal military. I just say, look,

292
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 2: I do think Look, one of the big things I say,

293
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 2: you've got to have a government small enough to fit

294
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 2: in the constitution. So I can't make that like the

295
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 2: thing that I'm striving to do and pretend the Constitution

296
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 2: doesn't say what it says. Now, the great thing is, look,

297
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 2: you can't amend scripture, so God picks the sins.

298
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 3: That's my view of it.

299
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 2: Some people said no, no, I can reimagine it and

300
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 2: just wish it said whatever.

301
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: I would reimagine it.

302
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know there's lots of denominations where that

303
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 2: goes on.

304
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 3: That's between them and God. Right, I'm in the God.

305
00:14:56,360 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 2: Picks the sins version. Well, the Constitution amended, right, It's right, twenty.

306
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: Seven times has been amended. But are you going to

307
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: vote yes or no. Does yes or no mean voting

308
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: with Trump? Is yes with Trump? Or is no with Trump?

309
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: Yes or no is a no or yes? Which way

310
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: you're going to vote if.

311
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 2: You if you simplify it, look, Trump would prefer that

312
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 2: everyone votes no, no, and that he can just do

313
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 2: what he wants. I am going to vote yes because

314
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 2: I think the authorization needs to come from Congress. And

315
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 2: I am encouraged that a lot of my colleagues will say,

316
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 2: you know, they it's not the accurate reading of the

317
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 2: word Power's resolution, but they will say, well, okay, I'll agreet.

318
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 2: It would be a constitutional crisis even sixty days after

319
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 2: combat started that he hasn't got authorization. By voting yeah,

320
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 2: we'll be back here again in sixty days, and I'll

321
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 2: probably vote yes then too, And I almost guarantee it.

322
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 2: Nobody's going to come and try to authorize a darn thing.

323
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 2: And if we're not going to be governed by our constitution,

324
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 2: I really do believe that is a threat to freedom.

325
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 1: Well, you're constrained by your cly.

326
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 2: By Trump, necessarily by President Trump. He's going to do

327
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 2: largely things I want him to do. But the principle,

328
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 2: regardless of whoever holds the office Republicans were dug in

329
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 2: and trying to enforce this some Barack Obama.

330
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 3: I just want people to be consistent.

331
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 1: Well, you're constrained by your printy office. That's a problem. Yeah,

332
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: I mean Washington having principle. So by voting yes at

333
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: four o'clock, you're going to be voting against Donald Trump,

334
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: so to speak. Is that true?

335
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's you could characterize it that way.

336
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 2: I don't personally, it's not a personal thing, but I

337
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 2: disagree with what he's doing in the way he's doing it.

338
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 3: So yes, I'm voting yes. I think you should. I

339
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 3: think you should.

340
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 2: Uh, you should cease work now and come get an

341
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 2: authorization for what you want to do.

342
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: And then Thomas Massey's with you on this, correct, I

343
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: think yes he is. But because that's because the Senate's

344
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 1: already voted it down, the vote at four o'clock means nothing. Correct.

345
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, let's let's uh, let's constituent see where

346
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 2: their their members are. And look, the frustrating thing for

347
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 2: this for me is Democrats And it's the same. Look

348
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,479
Speaker 2: the vast majority of people here if it was you know,

349
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 2: Kamala Harris and uh, you know Waltz who somehow stole

350
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 2: the election and won.

351
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 3: Right now, I.

352
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 2: Mean, they wouldn't be a war where the ran, they'd

353
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 2: be delivering more.

354
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 3: Palettes of cash.

355
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,880
Speaker 2: But if they were, if they were somehow it were

356
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,640
Speaker 2: with somebody, uh, they'd probably probably go to war.

357
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 3: You know, who knows what they'll be doing.

358
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 2: The public is to be united and saying you can't

359
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 2: do that. And that's the same kind of problem where

360
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 2: Democrats are now. Well, Trump's four were against it, right,

361
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 2: you guys, They're for every war that they can find,

362
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 2: but but not one the Trump supports.

363
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 1: Well, you have principles. That's a problem. So are you

364
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 1: getting armed? We got about thirty seconds. Is the Trump

365
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:51,120
Speaker 1: start twisting your arm right now?

366
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 3: Right now?

367
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 2: No one, no one from the administration's twisted my arm.

368
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 2: They gave great briefings, they answered thorough questions, and look,

369
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 2: I think part of the and they're not pressing it

370
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,439
Speaker 2: is you know they're going to win, so then their study.

371
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 2: So so I don't want to say they prefer that

372
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 2: I would vote No, I'm sure, but but they're also like, well,

373
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 2: we're not going to change course, so have a nice vote.

374
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,680
Speaker 1: I kind of like I like the YouTube pissed off

375
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 1: Army Ranger goes out, goes out, Maxine Waters. I love that,

376
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 1: but we got to Ron Warren Davidson. Thanks for taking

377
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 1: time this afternoon, and we'll see what happens after four o'clock.

378
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 3: Thank you, all right, Thanks Willy go bless you and
