1 00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:10,680 Speaker 1: By Billy Cunningham the Grand America. Welcome with glorious, glorious 2 00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:12,960 Speaker 1: Wednesday afternoon in the Tri State. I have a lot 3 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,439 Speaker 1: of basketball tonight. I think Xavier owes the Blue Jays 4 00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:17,600 Speaker 1: of creating a good beat down. 5 00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:18,000 Speaker 2: They come. 6 00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:19,800 Speaker 1: They came here about a month ago and create and 7 00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,720 Speaker 1: beat Xavier by forty one points in the Centas Center. 8 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 1: As Warren Davidson knows, that isn't good. Now you see, 9 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 1: having beaten the number two team in the country, Iowa 10 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,920 Speaker 1: State is playing tonight late about eight thirty nine o'clock 11 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,159 Speaker 1: out in Arizona, playing the number one ring team in 12 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,040 Speaker 1: the country. I'm not sure anytime as you see ever 13 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,320 Speaker 1: beaten one and two in the country. And within about 14 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,320 Speaker 1: a month period. We'll see what happens down the road. 15 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 1: But this morning in Davos, Switzerland, Donald Trump did a 16 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 1: fabulous job of putting the cheese on the cracker with 17 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 1: these with these situations in Europe, at one point he said, 18 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:52,959 Speaker 1: you can sip your wine and eat your cheese. As 19 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 1: Muslim rape squads pillaged the countryside and all of a sudden, 20 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 1: the European leaders didn't know what to do. Plus believe 21 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 1: it or not, in about a week or eight days 22 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 1: or so, we're going to have a shutdown of the 23 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,319 Speaker 1: government again. According to some of the Democrats, they want 24 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,959 Speaker 1: to shut down the government this time over ice. But 25 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,679 Speaker 1: until then, Warren Davidson, the Congressman, welcome again to the 26 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 1: Bill Cunningham Show. And Congressman, how are you. 27 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 3: It's always an honored to join you. 28 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:19,399 Speaker 2: Well, I understand, I understand. 29 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 1: This afternoon you've had meetings pow wows with other Democrats. 30 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 1: There's a representations of Elon Omar and Nancy Pelosi and 31 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 1: Congressman Goldman of New York City. They may shut down 32 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 1: the government because of ice. But then there's other reporting 33 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 1: on newsmax dot com that there's about twenty more or 34 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,759 Speaker 1: less reasonable Democrats in the Congress that say nah, bab nah. 35 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: In fact, there is a Democrat in the Senate, Patty Murray, 36 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,279 Speaker 1: as you know, in the state of Washington, who's telling 37 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: you and others that we have a deal as far 38 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 1: as cutting back some of the spending of ice. Where 39 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 1: do things stand this Wednesday afternoon, about twelve ten in 40 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 1: the afternoon, Where do things stand? 41 00:01:58,480 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 3: Well? 42 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 4: The Senate's out this week, uh, and so the House 43 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 4: is voting on what we think will be the final package. Uh, 44 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,799 Speaker 4: and we will have gotten through all the appropriations. Now 45 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,360 Speaker 4: this isn't what we call regular order because they're not 46 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:15,399 Speaker 4: like standalone bills. They're not really subject to amendment. They're 47 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 4: all pre negotiated deals, and so it turns into kind 48 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 4: of take it or leave it, And you know, some 49 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 4: of them will pass with overwhelming bipartisan audority's. But the 50 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 4: one that definite Democrats have definitely said they want to 51 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 4: stop is homeland security. 52 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 3: Right. 53 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 4: But I will say I don't think it's every Democrat 54 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 4: that you know, they there were some, you know, like 55 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 4: Corey Bush remembers she thankfully is no longer in Congress, 56 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 4: but she was the trazy lady in Saint Louis who 57 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 4: was like, no, we meant defund the police when we 58 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 4: said defund the police. 59 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 2: Uh. 60 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 4: And they found out from the public that they better 61 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,799 Speaker 4: rebrand that so that they didn't really mean defund the 62 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 4: police when they were voting to defund the police, so 63 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,360 Speaker 4: they tried to pretend that they were meaning something else. 64 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 4: She's like, no, no, we meant defund the police. And 65 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 4: now defund ice might be the next dumbest thing that 66 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 4: they've come up with and you know, you saw this 67 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 4: young man who's working for ICE stops and talks to 68 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 4: a protesters like, look, we're en route to arrest a 69 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 4: child sex predator, and you guys are stopping us from 70 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,800 Speaker 4: doing our jobs. Yeah, we're going to grab this guy, 71 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,639 Speaker 4: We're going to try him and then deport them where 72 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 4: he's going to get some justice. And you're stopping our 73 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 4: enforcement action. So these are the crazy positions they're taking. 74 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 4: And so I think there's some Democrats. We're going to 75 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,079 Speaker 4: call it on a separate vote, in part because we 76 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 4: don't want them to hide behind it and say, well, 77 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,839 Speaker 4: I wanted to defund this, that or the other thing. 78 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 4: We want to clean vote on homeland security appropriations, and 79 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 4: then we'll blend it all together and send the package 80 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 4: of the Senate. 81 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 3: See what they do. 82 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: Well, you know, I made a reference to this on 83 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: my ex account, and that is deporting illegals, criminals and 84 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: otherwise have not been controversial at all until recently. I 85 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: played for the American people the comments of Bill Clinton 86 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 1: to the State the Union address. 87 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 2: Al Gore was on board with this. 88 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: Then I played the comments of Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, 89 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 1: and Joe Biden and brock Hussein Obama. They sound like 90 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: Donald Trump or you or me. This was ten years ago. 91 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 1: In fact, in twenty fifteen, there's a high Civilian award 92 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: given to it the person and the federal bureaucracy that 93 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: the President considers to be performed in exemplary fashion his duties. 94 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,719 Speaker 1: And that person in twenty fifteen, I'm looking at the 95 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: photo was a guy named Tom Homan. 96 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 3: So Tom Homan amazing. 97 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,599 Speaker 1: Tom Holman is wine dined in pocket lined Oliver Washington 98 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: by the Democrats for deporting illegals. 99 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:38,599 Speaker 2: What the hell happened? 100 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, somewhere along the way they changed the plan. And 101 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 4: I don't think they truly changed the plan. They would 102 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 4: they would hide behind those we are deporting people, you know. 103 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 4: Meanwhile they were saying, well, yeah, but on the other side, 104 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 4: we're bringing in a lot of illegals, so this is 105 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 4: just optics so we can move the public alawn. And 106 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,279 Speaker 4: that's really what was underway back then. They would celebrate 107 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 4: the things they're doing to secure the border and then 108 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 4: pretend there's nothing we could. 109 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,719 Speaker 2: Do, right, we can't do it, we can't do it. 110 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 4: But then Donald Trump came in and they got serious 111 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 4: of that immigration when Donald Trump came in, because he's like, no. 112 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 3: We're not doing that, and he did. He meant it 113 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 3: in the first administration. 114 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 4: He wasn't going to do the fake deport these people, 115 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,359 Speaker 4: but flowed the other people in the country. He was 116 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 4: going to get serious about securing the border. And that's 117 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 4: really what broke them. It was Trump arrangement syndrome and 118 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,839 Speaker 4: just the realization that he really was going to change 119 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:36,799 Speaker 4: the rules of the game. 120 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: I'm going to show Tony Bender, my producer, I can't 121 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 1: do it in the radio. All the awards given to 122 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: Barack Husain Obama's ice chief for the removal. These are 123 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 1: the words of President Barack Husain Obama during his term. 124 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,039 Speaker 1: I'm proud to announce that Tom Homan has deported about 125 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,159 Speaker 1: four hundred and nine thousand illegal criminals from our country, 126 00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 1: including an additional two point five million. You shouldn't be 127 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 1: here in the first place, just to come into America 128 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 1: as a crime itself, said President Obama, as you put 129 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 1: this gold medal around the neck of Tom Homan. 130 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 2: Now that's something the media will not deal with. 131 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: But right now Trump is not even close to the 132 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 1: deportations of Obama, not even close because he's at every 133 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,719 Speaker 1: turn he's being stopped, but he will not be stopped. 134 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 1: Do you think there's going to be a government shut 135 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,279 Speaker 1: down in a week? Congressman? What do you say, get 136 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 1: out your crystal ball? What does Thomas Massey say about this? 137 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,280 Speaker 1: What does Ran Paul say about this? There'll be Republicans 138 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:32,040 Speaker 1: voting against it. 139 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 2: What do you say? 140 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 3: I think there will not be a shutdown. 141 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,600 Speaker 4: I think look, there's things in these mills, and the 142 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 4: real is, Look, we're not going to vote on an 143 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,840 Speaker 4: ideal funding package, right, and look, the coalition that we've 144 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 4: got is a Republican coalition. There's not like one unified 145 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 4: idiotology that gives us this narrow, narrow majority in the 146 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 4: House and a functionally narrow majority in the Senate. That's 147 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 4: the easier mass as people know. Look, Susan Collins and 148 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 4: Lisa Murkowski are sort of different kind of Republicans and 149 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 4: a lot of the folks that were out there, so 150 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 4: we've got that in spades in the House, a lot 151 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 4: of personalities. 152 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 3: But I think the real question. 153 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 4: Is, is the package that we're going to vote on 154 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 4: this week in the House and next week in the Senate, 155 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 4: is that better than a status quo continuing resolution. 156 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 3: And right now it. 157 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 4: Looks like the winds We're still negotiating here in the 158 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 4: House right up to the clock until we vote probably 159 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 4: Thursday or Friday on the package, But it looks like 160 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 4: we're going to land something that is going to be 161 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 4: better than a status quo CR. Maybe not a lot better, 162 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 4: but it's something. And I think the crazy thing there 163 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 4: are going to be Democrats that also go, all right, 164 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 4: we agree, this is probably better than a status quo CR. 165 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 4: And when you start seeing Democrats agree, usually that means 166 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 4: they're either spending more money or Republicans are making concessions. 167 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 4: So those are the kind of things we're going through 168 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 4: right now to say what kind of deals were cut 169 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 4: in here? 170 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 3: What are we missing? Because at the. 171 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 4: End of the day, this is over a thousand pages 172 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 4: of new policy we're going to vote on this week. 173 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 2: Do you actually speak to Tom Massey? 174 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: I mean, I like the guy personally, but he seems 175 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 1: like he's he's off track. You do you speak to 176 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: him to give him whisper in his ear? Sometimes? Said Tom, 177 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 1: comment down a little bit. I mean, do you guys 178 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 1: talk to each other? 179 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 3: Oh? Yeah, yeah, he's a good friend and a great guy. 180 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 4: And look, I love him and I love President Trump, 181 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 4: and I wish that they weren't feuding. But Thomas is 182 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 4: easy to understand. He wants less government. Yeah, and there 183 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 4: are a lot of Republicans that want, you know, more government. 184 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 4: They just wanted to do Republican things instead of Democrat things. Well, 185 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 4: when they put those kind of bills on the floor, 186 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:38,840 Speaker 4: Thomas isn't going to vote for him. 187 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 3: And you know, if you want to do. 188 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 4: Foreign aid, whether it's for you know, Canada or Greenland 189 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 4: or Israel or any other country, Thomas didn't len' for it. 190 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 4: Now that's not a mystery. And people say, well, you 191 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 4: know he voted against this big thing here, just like 192 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,719 Speaker 4: the Democrats. Well for way different reasons, right, I mean 193 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 4: totally different reasons. And I think that's a dishonest characterization 194 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 4: that people a lot of these. 195 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:04,559 Speaker 3: People who don't really know and. 196 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 4: Don't follow it, and they're like, oh, who's this guy, 197 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 4: He's a rhino Like well, maybe in the sense that 198 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,719 Speaker 4: Republicans don't really want a smaller, more accountable government, or 199 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,079 Speaker 4: we'd eventually get one. You got to house, the Senate, 200 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,960 Speaker 4: in the White House. Definits are drolling, they're not shrinking. 201 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 4: So Massy's out there, and it's like when I said 202 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 4: I wanted a smaller government, I'm in it. So if 203 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 4: you put that on the floor, I'll vote for it. 204 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 4: If you don't, I'm not voting for it. That's a 205 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:32,200 Speaker 4: lot of inflexibility where Trump's like, look, I kind of 206 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 4: get it, but you're not helping me get what I 207 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,440 Speaker 4: can get across the finishing line. And that's where like, look, 208 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 4: Trump didn't want to keep any part of the Green 209 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 4: New Deal in the big beautiful bill, and unfortunately we 210 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 4: couldn't get rid of it. We barely got the votes 211 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 4: to defund NPR for goodness sakes. But that's where some 212 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 4: of the frustration is, is like, people are Trump kind 213 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 4: of turned his guns on Massy, when the reality is 214 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 4: the people were really betraying the movement were the moderates 215 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 4: that kept the Green New Deal funding. And you know, 216 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 4: I think that pragmatically, Trump's realized, well, I can't go 217 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 4: to war with twenty people, but I. 218 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 3: Might be able to go to war with one. 219 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 1: Well, you know, I noticed yesterday the Department of Treasury 220 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 1: said America has now hit thirty nine trillion dollars in debt. 221 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: I set thirty nine trillion dollars in debt, and so 222 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: I get Tom Massey's point completely. I think given your druthers, 223 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 1: you would agree we have to live within our means. 224 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 1: So what argument do I have to liberal Democrats that 225 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 1: the Republican Party is good on debt when under Trump 226 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 1: the first time, spending went up about seven trillion dollars 227 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 1: extra in debt, and now in the first year of 228 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 1: the Trump term, we had about another seven hundred billion 229 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 1: dollars on our way to a trillion, a trillion here 230 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,680 Speaker 1: and a trillion there. Suddenly we have a lot of money. 231 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 1: Right now it's thirty nine trillion dollars. How do you 232 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 1: respond to the issue that we spend money on different 233 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:53,719 Speaker 1: things and that debt simply goes up. 234 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:54,960 Speaker 2: What do you say about that one? 235 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 3: That's true? 236 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 4: I mean, like I say, I mean, we want a 237 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 4: smaller government, but we're not getting one, and you know, 238 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 4: we don't have the votes to deliver one. And that's 239 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 4: where I'm like, Look, we do not have a unified 240 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 4: political party that has like one set of ideologies. We've 241 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 4: got a Republican coalition and it's a whole range of people. 242 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 4: If you want to smaller more accountable governments, then reinforcements, 243 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 4: but don't direct your fire against guys like Tom Massey. 244 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:22,559 Speaker 4: Direct your fire against the people that. 245 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 3: Want more government. 246 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 4: And you know, I call these guys the Surrender Caucus. 247 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 4: It's not a formal group. They don't hold meetings and 248 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,079 Speaker 4: they don't disclose their lists. But you can look at 249 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 4: like the vote on you know, saving Obamacare. No Republican 250 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 4: voted on saving Obamacare and continuing these COVID subsidies on 251 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 4: Obama Healthcare, but seventeen Republicans voted to keep that going. 252 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 4: And they're like, well, we can't just cut it off 253 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 4: cold turkey. I'm like, COVID's been over since you know, 254 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,679 Speaker 4: twenty one. You know, you're sitting here. We've carried it 255 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 4: on for an extra four years. And it's just payments 256 00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:00,199 Speaker 4: to insurance companies and it's not even traditional Obamacare. 257 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 3: But people don't want to explain it. 258 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,679 Speaker 4: They're like, well, people think we're turning off all of Obamacare. 259 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 4: We just need to keep cutting the checks. Now, those 260 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 4: are the people that keep us from doing good things. 261 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 1: You know, you kind of have a district that includes 262 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 1: parts of Cincinnati, is that true, Well. 263 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,320 Speaker 4: Doesn't include any of the city limits. 264 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 3: It's basically the west side. 265 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:25,439 Speaker 4: So everything essentially from the Ronald Regan bypassed like Wyoming 266 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,679 Speaker 4: right there, Glendale side of seventy five except for o 267 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,680 Speaker 4: High Township right to the city limits is the district. 268 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 3: Of course, it's changed in this. 269 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 4: Election cycle, and we'll go all the way over at 270 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 4: the eighth district to go all over to Blue Ash 271 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 4: and have Montgomery parts of Madeira and Indian Hill. 272 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 1: Wait a minute, what about what about Kenwood? Who's my congressman? 273 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,479 Speaker 1: I know everything. I have no idea who my congressman is. 274 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 1: Who's he now? Is it Landsman? 275 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 3: Right now? 276 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:54,560 Speaker 4: It's Greg Lansman. And if everything goes right in January 277 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 4: third to next year, it'll become Warren Davidson. 278 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 1: Well, that's good. I can call you, I can be 279 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,200 Speaker 1: constituent anger. I'll be angry at you all the time. 280 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 3: So that'll I'll have to have an extra phone line added. 281 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:05,440 Speaker 2: Now. 282 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 1: Lastly, there's a movement of foot uh in Washington, d C. 283 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 1: Which I think, uh, we know what's going to happen 284 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 1: in November if things don't go the right way. The 285 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 1: impeachment trials of every cabinet official, beginning with the course, 286 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 1: President Trump and I think JD. Vance and everyone knows 287 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:25,960 Speaker 1: at the top of the list all of them are 288 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,560 Speaker 1: going to be impeached. Can you imagine in November if 289 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 1: the American people unwisely turn over the Congress to elon 290 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,960 Speaker 1: Omar and her ilk and they're in charge of the 291 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 1: Congress with subpoena power. Talk to me about the road 292 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:41,440 Speaker 1: that would be taken in November. 293 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 3: It's the same one they've already done. I mean, in 294 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 3: a minute. The Democrats have the majeordy. 295 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 4: They try to push a discharge on impeaching Christy Nome, 296 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 4: you know, this year already, so they want to get 297 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 4: rid of Christy Nome and book. You know, for the 298 00:13:57,960 --> 00:13:59,680 Speaker 4: for the people that are frustrated, that's a good sign 299 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,680 Speaker 4: she's onto something. The HS is getting something productive done 300 00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 4: because the Democrats want to impeach her. But you know, nevertheless, 301 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 4: look at how much time that will take in distraction 302 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:13,959 Speaker 4: and frankly money. You know, they impeached President Trump over 303 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 4: calling Ukraine and saying shouldn't somebody look into this? And 304 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 4: most of the things that you say shouldn't somebody look into? 305 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 4: Once the investigations were done were vindicated. I mean Hunter 306 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 4: Biden was getting deals from Ukraine. Ukraine was paying out 307 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 4: money and corruption, and all he said was you got 308 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 4: to look into that. And you're like, why wouldn't the 309 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 4: State Department do that? Why wouldn't the Department of. 310 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 3: Justice do that? 311 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 4: It took the President of the United States to do it, 312 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 4: and because he was over the target, Democrats impeached him 313 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 4: for it. 314 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 2: Are you endorsing are you. 315 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 3: Doubt that they would continue to do it? 316 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 1: Warren Davidson? Are you endorsing Thomas Massey? Whatever that's worth 317 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: in Ohio to Kentucky, Are you endorsing Congressman Thomas Massey? 318 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 1: Would you vote for him Northern Kentucky if you could. 319 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 4: If I lived in Northern Kentucky, I would enthusiastically vote 320 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 4: for Thomas Massey. I think he's a great guy. He's 321 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 4: a truly effective member of Congress. And you know, look, 322 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 4: I love President Trump, I love Thomas. I wish they 323 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 4: would get along better. But I'm not confused by his votes. 324 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 4: And I'd say, don't fall for the information off out 325 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 4: there on Thomas. 326 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 3: He's a good guy doing the right things. 327 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 4: There are some where you're like, man, we need your vote, 328 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 4: and that's where I get frustrated right with some of 329 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 4: the folks. I'm not going to say there's no room 330 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 4: on the right if this is NASCAR and racing, but 331 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 4: that's where the wall is, right, you don't go into 332 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 4: the wall. I think Massy might have some paint off 333 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 4: the right side of the car there because he hit 334 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 4: the wall. 335 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 3: A couple of times. 336 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 4: And you know, if you don't pass anything, nothing changes. 337 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 4: So at some point you got to look at it 338 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 4: and say, well, we got to pass the best thing 339 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 4: that we can get across the finish line. There's a 340 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 4: couple of things there where I think people get frustrated because. 341 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 3: We don't have the votes. 342 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 4: But my frustration is on the other end, like why 343 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 4: are we boxed into this situation. We did and campaign 344 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 4: on saving the Green New Deal. Every Republican voted against it. 345 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 4: But now when we have the majority and it's time 346 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 4: to play the cards, the people that are betraying the movement, 347 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 4: they're not even getting named. 348 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 3: You know. 349 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 4: That's what I call the surrender caucus. They're the reason 350 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 4: we can't have nice things. That's my frustration, and in 351 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 4: general I have a weight in against those folks and primaries. 352 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 4: I just say send reinforcements for people that really do 353 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 4: want to do what we say we would do, and yeah, 354 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 4: tell us this frustration is, let's do what we said. 355 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 3: We would do, and we're not doing that. 356 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 1: You can't do that. And and just look, Democrats are 357 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 1: like pack animals. If one goes one direction, I guarantee 358 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 1: you you're not going to have ten or twenty Democrats 359 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 1: break off from M CKEM Jeffries and Alan Omar and 360 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi and be on their own. Democrats are pack animals, 361 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 1: and of course Republicans are like cats. They're pretty hard 362 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 1: to herd. But we'll see what happens by if you 363 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 1: had to put your chips down, whether it be a 364 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 1: government shut down on the thirtieth or not. 365 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 4: I don't think so. I think they'll be a big 366 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 4: deal cut. But that basically means that we're going to 367 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 4: get more spending and more debt. 368 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,239 Speaker 1: Well great, well some of the accomplishments. I look at 369 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 1: things like immigration. Trump did that, ending DEI, he did that, 370 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,359 Speaker 1: returning public education in the States, he did that. Lowering 371 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 1: drug costs was going to metastasize in the next few weeks. 372 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 2: He did that. 373 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 1: Deregulation, the big beautiful bill that's going to be realized 374 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 1: sometime in the first quarter of this year. No tax 375 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 1: on tips and overtime social security. And also we have 376 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,120 Speaker 1: the President of Peace who spoke this morning in Davos. 377 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 1: I loved every minute of it. Congressman Warren Davidson, you're 378 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,480 Speaker 1: a great American. I look forward today that Greg Landsman 379 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 1: will not be my Congressman. 380 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 2: It'll be you. So get ready for my phone calls. 381 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:44,960 Speaker 3: I can't wait. And look, one big thing. 382 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,640 Speaker 4: Not only did President Trump secure the border, Olkins give 383 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 4: him a lot of money to do it, and that 384 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,919 Speaker 4: was another key part of the big beautiful bill. So 385 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,920 Speaker 4: in the worst case scenario, even if the Homeland Security 386 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 4: bill gets caught up and somehow the demotrats succeed in that, 387 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 4: know that we're going to keep securing the border. 388 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 1: Well we'll see what occurs. Tough times don't last, but 389 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:07,920 Speaker 1: tough men and women do. My mother was a tough 390 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 1: woman who weighed ninety five pounds, and she pointed her 391 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:12,960 Speaker 1: finger at me. I could be thirty five or forty 392 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:14,720 Speaker 1: years old at all I did say yes Mom. 393 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 2: That's all. I said, yes Mom. I called her ma, 394 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:17,320 Speaker 2: Yes Ma. 395 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,359 Speaker 1: She said, Billy you're going to do this, Augize, Ma, 396 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:21,720 Speaker 1: I'm going to do it so it's not about the size, 397 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,679 Speaker 1: it's about the power, and the Trumpster's got the power. 398 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,399 Speaker 1: Warren Davidson, you're a great American. Thanks for coming on 399 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 1: the Bill Cunningham Show.
