1
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 1: It's seven six here five Karrecity Talk Station. Happy Friday

2
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 1: Eve too. She's already in house, but she'll be joining

3
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:14,080
Speaker 1: the program in studio. COmON Police Court Judge Honorable Leah Dennglocker.

4
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 1: We're talking about her well, running for another term this year.

5
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:19,440
Speaker 1: She's a great judge. We need to elect her. And

6
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 1: Jay Ratlif at eight thirty without further ado, though, I

7
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,760
Speaker 1: love when Congressman Moarn Davidson joins the program. Welcome back,

8
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: Congressman Davidson. Is always a pleasure to have you on

9
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: the fifty five Karrose Morning Show.

10
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 2: Ryan, It's always an honor. Nice to talk with you.

11
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,520
Speaker 1: Too bad, there's nothing to talk about, Congressman Davidson. How's

12
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: the family house life treating you?

13
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 2: Now?

14
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 1: Let's move over to Ice. Minneapolis obviously the epicenter of

15
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: all the violence that's going on, although it's spread to

16
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,200
Speaker 1: a variety of different cities. They're a well organized machine.

17
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 1: These protesters have a question or two about that. But this,

18
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 1: I don't know how it could devolve into it, he said.

19
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: She said thing without question. I mean the Constitution as

20
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: it's been interpreted and as the Supreme Court has pronounced

21
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:04,479
Speaker 1: federal law exclusively the purview of federal agencies and federal

22
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: law enfor enforcement officers don't have to succumb to the

23
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: whim of a local municipality or jurisdiction or state. They're

24
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,639
Speaker 1: entitled to enter into the area to conduct the federal

25
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: law enforcement actions. And that's exactly what they're doing. The

26
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: immigration laws have not changed since I don't know what

27
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: the nineties or something, the last time we had any change.

28
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: They're on the books, they are being enforced now. The

29
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 1: Biden administration just chose not to enforce them. So this

30
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: is all above board legitimate activity, is it not?

31
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 2: Well? Look, I mean when we went from the Articles

32
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,759
Speaker 2: of Confederation to the Constitution way back in seventeen eighty nine,

33
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 2: one of the main things was you would have a

34
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 2: uniform standard for naturalization, like who's a citizen? You know why,

35
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 2: because who's the citizen matters? Know how you become a

36
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,559
Speaker 2: citizen matters. And I won't say we've got that nailed

37
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 2: down perfectly. There's problems with how you become a citizen

38
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 2: and everything. So Democrats decided, oh well, just worrying about

39
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 2: the distinction and flood the country with tens of millions

40
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 2: of people who are here illegally, and they don't just

41
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,679
Speaker 2: go anywhere. They tend to go towards sanctuary cities and

42
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 2: states where they know immigration law isn't going to be forced.

43
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 2: You've got local law enforcement running interference on it. And

44
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 2: why are these things happening in Minneapolis and Minnesota because

45
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 2: they're huge sanctuary and so they've flooded that area with illegals.

46
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 2: Other areas, you know, like Butler County, Ohio, well you

47
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 2: don't have this problem because local law enforcements engage. They're

48
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 2: applying the law there and they're helping. So when they

49
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 2: pull somebody over and they're not here legally, they will

50
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 2: detain them and call ICE. ICE will come by pick

51
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 2: them up. Everything's nice and orderly. But in Minneapolis, they're

52
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 2: literally obstructing justice in blocking and then you've got these

53
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 2: citizen observers who want to drive off and disrupt and

54
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 2: make the job very challenging for ICE. And unfortunately, this lady,

55
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 2: you know, she was somehow doing some kind of righteous

56
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 2: cause by preventing there being any accountability for people here

57
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 2: illegally and preventing ICE from doing their job, and unfortunately

58
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 2: she drove a vehicle at an ICE agent hit him,

59
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 2: and you know, he responded in a defensive way with

60
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 2: a very accurate shot, several shots. So in tragic that

61
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 2: she died. In a powerful interview with her father in law.

62
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 1: Recently, I saw that on CNN. Yeah, yeah, I guess

63
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: it's her fault. According to her father in law, don't

64
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: do that, don't interfere with law enforcement doing their job,

65
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: and you won't get hurt. But it's no surprise that

66
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: there are people like her out there, and obviously quite

67
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: a few of them. We have elected officials, the mayor

68
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: of Minneapolis, you got the governor Tim Wallas, and then

69
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: locally here we have since a city council passing a

70
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: resolution during which discussion one councilman said that these ICE

71
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: agents are terror arising our neighborhoods. We had the vice

72
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: mayors say that the that ICE is an illegal entity,

73
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: and and the egging on and encouragement of this outright

74
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: defiance by saying, in spite of the fact that it

75
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: is an absolute, absolute, outright lie, that ICE is illegal

76
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: and that they're engaging in illegal activities. Going back to

77
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: my initial point, the laws are on the books. They

78
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: are enforcing federal law.

79
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, they are. And look it's obvious they are. I

80
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 2: mean go back to I mean, you know, iconically for

81
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 2: anybody illd enough to remember, you know, Bill Clinton sent

82
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 2: in you know, you see a swat team to go

83
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 2: extract this little Cuban kid in Florida and they get

84
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 2: a guy with an MP five grabbing the kid to

85
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 2: send them back to Cuba. Apparently they didn't want them

86
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 2: to get exposed to freedom. They needed to make sure

87
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,359
Speaker 2: he stayed in a communist place. Now they're bringing the

88
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 2: communism to America and they don't want anybody to leave.

89
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 2: And look, this is what it is. It's a how

90
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 2: Er politics thing, right. I mean, they flooded the country

91
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 2: with tens of millions illegals and they went to sanctuary cities.

92
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 2: Why because they run their cities and states like crap,

93
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 2: so people who can voluntarily leave. So that's where like

94
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 2: you know, the counties the belt around big cities they're growing,

95
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 2: the affluence tends to get out of the city where

96
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 2: they're going to you know, get terrible service for the money,

97
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 2: heavy taxes that they're paying and the heavy regulation they're

98
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 2: dealing with. So they keep moving. And if they can't

99
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 2: get out of the city far enough, they'll get all

100
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 2: the way out of the state. Is California's finding out.

101
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 2: And then when you do the census, you go, wow,

102
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 2: nobody lives in the city. You guys don't have a

103
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 2: full representative anymore. Well, your state's losing representatives and and

104
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 2: they're countering that by flooding it with people. And this

105
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 2: is where we need an honest census. You should only

106
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 2: count citizens when you do the census. California would lose

107
00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:01,039
Speaker 2: six or seven representatives if that were true and fair enough.

108
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 2: Other states Texas, Arizona might lose some too. Ohio would

109
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 2: probably gain one or more. But that would be an

110
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 2: honest thing. Right. In Congress, we represent American citizens. We

111
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 2: don't represent foreign nationals. That's why you have embassies and consulates.

112
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I always struggle with the concept of that.

113
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: The argument, well, the illegal immigrants, while illegal not here

114
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: within the United States or here lawfully, they are in

115
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: our area, consuming goods and services and things brought by

116
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 1: the government. Ergo, they're impacted by their by whatever vote

117
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: is cast, so they should have a vote. And I'm

118
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 1: not buying into that at all. I Mean, the best

119
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: you can argue is that someone who is here maybe

120
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 1: not a citizen, but who is lawfully here, is given

121
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: a work permit, for example, and is paying taxes, you

122
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: at least have a plausible argument for counting them. But

123
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 1: the minutias where the whole thing falls apart.

124
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, we'll hopefully get a good decision out

125
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 2: of the court Supreme Court here on that and clarify

126
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 2: this hasn't been litigated the right way. And you know,

127
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 2: I think we have a chance to get a better decision.

128
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,679
Speaker 2: I think you shouldn't count period unless you're a citizen.

129
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 2: We've got legislation trying to make that happen, and they're

130
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 2: fighting in court to make that happen. But in the meantime, Look,

131
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 2: the way that illegal immigrants should be impacted is you're

132
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 2: you're leaving because you're not here legally, and you know, well,

133
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 2: there should be a path to be here legally. There is.

134
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 2: We have an immigration law and you need to follow it.

135
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 2: And you know, a lot of the people that are

136
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 2: most resentful about illegal immigration are the legal immigrants, the

137
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 2: people that did come here legally. And you know, we

138
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 2: talk to these people all the time, and that that's

139
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 2: the thing. And look, we've got some communities Lachland, for example,

140
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 2: where you have a large flood of people from Eritrea

141
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 2: that you know, you have about as many people who

142
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 2: came there as the whole population of Lachlan. And people say, well,

143
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 2: you know, they're making up resources. We need federal dollars

144
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 2: to deal with this. The federal dollars you need is

145
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 2: to extract the people that aren't here lawfully. That's what

146
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 2: needs to happen. And you know, it's disappointing that we're

147
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 2: having to do this. It seems so bad to have

148
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 2: to get these people out of the country or detained

149
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 2: or whatever. This is all because the Biden administration facilitated

150
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 2: an invasion of our country. They perverted our laws, which

151
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 2: are supposed to be upheld by the executive branch. They're

152
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 2: supposed to go faithfully execute the laws, and they literally

153
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 2: undermine those laws. And we couldn't get a judge to

154
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 2: take action to stop them from ignoring the law and

155
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 2: make them enforced and apply the law. So this is

156
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 2: the corrupted judiciary branch. And now you've got the judiciary

157
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:51,559
Speaker 2: branch out there trying to block President Trump from enforcing

158
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 2: the clear meaning of the law. And when you talk

159
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 2: about clear meaning, of the law. I mean, you get

160
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 2: the Supreme Court this week here in cases where well

161
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 2: we don't really know what a difference between a man

162
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 2: and a woman is in law. I mean, so it's

163
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 2: just nonsensical stuff going on, and it's just hard to

164
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 2: fathom that you're even having these discussions.

165
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: Hard to fathom. Indeed, we'll continue with Congressman Warren Davidson.

166
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: We're here to break seven fifteen. If you five kre

167
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,959
Speaker 1: CD talk station, let me strongly encourage you to call

168
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: the best in the business when it comes to roofing

169
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: work and a gutter guard talk station seven nineteen. Here

170
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: fifty five kr CD talk station by Thomas the Congressman

171
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: Warren Davidson kind of spend time with my listeners and

172
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: me every week for a little while. Congressman Davidson pivoting

173
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: over are we gonna have another government shutdown? And if so,

174
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: is this going to be over Obamacare subsidies, which merely

175
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: masks the failing reality of obamacaren does nothing about the

176
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 1: cost of healthcare? Or is this going to be about

177
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: maybe funding Ice and its operations. Congressman Davidson, it sounds

178
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: like a little bit of both.

179
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 2: I mean, if you listen to Chuck Schumer in the

180
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 2: Senate that seems to say, you know, six weeks wasn't

181
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 2: enough back in the fall. We want to go ahead

182
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 2: and do it some more. And we saw some polling

183
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 2: where Democrats at approval rating with their base actually went

184
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 2: down when they reopened the government. They were happier with

185
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 2: their Democrat leaders when they had the government shut down.

186
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 2: So they seem to say, yeah, let's do it. And

187
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 2: I think, look, the other thing at play here is

188
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 2: the economy is starting to move in the right direction.

189
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 2: There's good momentum behind a lot of things, and Democrats

190
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 2: don't want that to happen in an election year. It

191
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 2: don't want all the results from these policies that have

192
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 2: happened last year, keeping taxes low, driving investment in jobs

193
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 2: coming in, and investment groundbreakings, announced new work out there

194
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 2: for people. They don't want those things to kick in

195
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 2: and have people with more cash in their pocket and

196
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 2: able to deal with the affordability challenges that have been

197
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 2: out there better than they have been. They don't want

198
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,439
Speaker 2: that to happen between now and November. And I think

199
00:10:58,480 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 2: that's part of it.

200
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: Well, this affordability argument that they're making is nonsensical. First off,

201
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: inflation brought about a lot under the Biden administration for

202
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: chucking another eight or so trillion dollars into the economy,

203
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: feeding everyone with a whole lot of additional cash while

204
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: a lot of us, a lot of the business and

205
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: industry was shut down because of COVID. So the demand

206
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,599
Speaker 1: went up precipitously because of the infusion of cash, and

207
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: yet the supply wasn't there. We all know what that happened.

208
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: That results in inflation. But then the vast majority of inflation,

209
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: and this so called affordability problem is brought about mostly

210
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 1: by regulation, government intervention, which forces us to have to

211
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 1: spend more to engage in our day to day activities.

212
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: The green whole get rid of carbon dioxide plant food

213
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: thing causing electricity plants to engage in massive, multi billion

214
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: dollar projects to capture carbon that drives our energy bill up.

215
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,959
Speaker 1: The sporadic reality of green energy production windmills and solar

216
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: panels which go on and off and it ends up

217
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,839
Speaker 1: spiking the cost of electricity that increases it all the

218
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: and mandates on our automobiles, which Trump thankfully got rid of,

219
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 1: drives the price of automobiles up. I mean, we could

220
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,439
Speaker 1: go on and on the key and the most nefarious

221
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:13,959
Speaker 1: element to affordability are massive government regulations and manipulations that

222
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: are that are heaped down upon us by oro elected officials.

223
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: That's an easy effects get rid of them.

224
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's well said Brian. I mean that's exactly what's

225
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 2: been underway is ditching those crazy policies. And you know

226
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 2: the other component of is the spending in the subsidies.

227
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 2: So everything that you subsidize, like okay, get I get it,

228
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 2: it's expensive, Okay, well let's subsidize it. Well, that's going

229
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 2: to cause the inflation to be even higher than it

230
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 2: was before. And the things that are most heavily subsidized, education, healthcare, housing,

231
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 2: these things, the rate of inflation is bigger than the

232
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 2: things that aren't subsidized. And you know, you've just you're

233
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 2: choking on a fatal over to us a government right

234
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 2: out here. And that's what they want to mask with

235
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 2: the Obamacare subsidies. And look, these aren't like everything in Obamacare.

236
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 2: This is a small subset of Obamacare that were COVID

237
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 2: era subsidies. And they're like, well, we need an off ramp.

238
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 2: You're like, well, COVID's been over since twenty one. I

239
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 2: think you've had a pretty good long, pretty long off

240
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 2: ramp here. And Democrats built it. They put it in

241
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 2: in the first place. Yes, they're like, well, Republicans aren't

242
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 2: helping us, and you're like, well, we didn't help you

243
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,680
Speaker 2: put it on. It was a whole party, party line

244
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,559
Speaker 2: vote to put it in the first place. But there

245
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 2: are some Republicans that want to work with them in

246
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 2: exchange for some reform, but they're like, no, no, we

247
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 2: don't want any of the reform. Part like, oh, then

248
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 2: you don't have the votes, right.

249
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: Well, you know, the key, the outphant in the room

250
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: on this discussion is why does something need to be subsidized. Well,

251
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 1: you subsidize wind and solar because it's not affordable. It

252
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: doesn't produce sufficient energy, and the only reason anybody would

253
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: buy it is if you provide tax and centives and

254
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: subsidies for the stuff to be built in the first place.

255
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: So it's a faux market competition. The subsidies allow it

256
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 1: to compete with something that works really well, like gas

257
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 1: and oil, but then you heap massive energy taxes environmental

258
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: rules on the gas and oil production. It pushes that

259
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,959
Speaker 1: price up artificially, making wind and sol look better. Same

260
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: thing with medical care. Why do you need an Obamacare subsidy?

261
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 2: What's it?

262
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: The root of the problem. It's the cost of health care.

263
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: They haven't done anything to lower the cost of health care.

264
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 1: That's the root of the problem.

265
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they don't want to talk about changing any

266
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 2: of those things because they want the problem. I mean,

267
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 2: and look, they're trying to get so much government that

268
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 2: they completely take over healthcare like a lot of other

269
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 2: socialists utopias. Right, So this is the problem with their policies,

270
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 2: and eventually you run out of other people's money, but

271
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 2: they haven't let that be a constraint. Right. So, look,

272
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 2: the idea of a balanced budget. It holds in state,

273
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 2: it's like Ohio where we have to by law. But

274
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 2: at the federal level, you know, we're spending seven trillion

275
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 2: dollars more than seven trillion dollars and five trillion come out.

276
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 2: And I mean, think about it. If you had like

277
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 2: a ten gallon barrel and you took five gallons of

278
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 2: water out of the barrel and you put seven gallons in, well,

279
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 2: the water levels higher if it was fully full to ten.

280
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 2: It's overflowing. That's what's inflation. You're dumping an extra two

281
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 2: trillion dollars in the economy every single year with the

282
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 2: structural defenity we've got, and unfortunately, what we're seeing also

283
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 2: in the Sanctuary city of Minneapolis, or Little Mogadishue as

284
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 2: some have started calling it, you've got these Somali fraud issues,

285
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 2: and you know you're looking at as much as you know,

286
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 2: five to ten percent fraud. And that's why Doge came

287
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 2: in and started saying, look, we got to start shutting

288
00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 2: this down. And look sadly, Republicans barely could muster the

289
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 2: votes to defund NPR right, so we haven't been as

290
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 2: aggressive on some of the cutting in Congress as the

291
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 2: administration is. They're like, well, we're simply withholding funds until

292
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 2: XYZ so that they can actually get after some of

293
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 2: the fraud. So I think a lot of things are

294
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 2: going the right way, yes, and Democrats don't like that,

295
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 2: and that's why we may well end up with a

296
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 2: shutdown here on January thirtieth.

297
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: Well, if the shutdown the name of getting rid of fraud, waste,

298
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 1: and abuse, I'm all in favor of it. I think

299
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 1: this whole Minneapolis. Reality has settled in Well. I can't

300
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: imagine any individual, regardless of political stripe, thinking that ferreting

301
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 1: out and preventing fraud, waste, and abuse is a bad idea, unless,

302
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: of course, you're part of the nefarious type which realizes that, well,

303
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: my political career or my political party will benefit because

304
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 1: these fraudulent tax dollars are going to end up in

305
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: my pocket. That's criminal. So the balance of us, the

306
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: rest of us, the saint of us in the world,

307
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: realize that taxpayer dollars stolen harm every taxpayer, regardless of

308
