Yeah, you can say there are some good 4 00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:13,039 Speaker 1: people elected to hire office out there in terms of Congress, 5 00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:16,560 Speaker 1: Congressman Warren Davidson is one of them. Welcome back, my friend. 6 00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:18,320 Speaker 1: I love when you have when you come on the show. 7 00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:21,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, me too, Brian. Nice to talk with you. 8 00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:23,720 Speaker 1: Hey, real quick here before we get to the version 9 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:25,800 Speaker 1: of the shutdown in what's going to take to get 10 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:30,880 Speaker 1: DHS funded? If anything, Trump ourx got rolled out yesterday 11 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,120 Speaker 1: trump rx dot Gov, which is an opportunity for at 12 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,520 Speaker 1: least around forty or so prescriptions. This most Favored Nation 13 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:40,840 Speaker 1: thing that Trump's been negotiating directly with pharmaceutical companies, looks 14 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: like it's going to result in some pretty substantial savings 15 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,600 Speaker 1: for people who are eligible to use the Trump rx 16 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 1: dot site. 17 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:49,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's a pretty good idea. 18 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 3: I think we've got bills in the House that either 19 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 3: have made it through or widely supported. We don't have 20 00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 3: a path through the Senate for some of this stuff 21 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,959 Speaker 3: that Trump's executive action and frankly just leverage that he's 22 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 3: used with the insurers is getting this done and frankly 23 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 3: putting pressure on other countries too. And it's basically the 24 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:11,120 Speaker 3: idea is like, yeah, if you're going to sell it 25 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 3: for eighty bucks in England, then you can sell it 26 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:13,959 Speaker 3: for eighty bucks in. 27 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 2: America instead of eight hundred. 28 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 3: And so it's like if you want to blend it 29 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 3: and say it's three hundred or whatever, but like, whatever 30 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,680 Speaker 3: your lowest price is, you sell that to Americans if 31 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,120 Speaker 3: you're based in America, and if you want to sell 32 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 3: into America, you sell it that way. So I think 33 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 3: it's a huge opportunity for healthcare. And frankly, it's an 34 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 3: idea that makes sense for a lot of things, like 35 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 3: you can have a price, but you use this nonsense 36 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,400 Speaker 3: of oh well, you know, here's how you're paying. 37 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:41,400 Speaker 2: It's a lower price. 38 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 3: Or it'd be like the gas station saying, oh, well, 39 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 3: you drove up in a Chevy, you got this price, 40 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 3: but if it's a Ford, it's a different price. 41 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 1: You know, it doesn't make any sense. But I guess 42 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 1: I sort of heard in your statement there that there's 43 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 1: bipartisan support to pass this legislatively, because right now, again 44 00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: it's just individually negotiated agreements with pharmaceutical companies. But if 45 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 1: you could legislate this, then it would be I would 46 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: imagine a much broader chunk of the pharmaceutical market. 47 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:08,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, and it is by parts of There are some 48 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 3: Repulicans that are like, oh, that's too much government. 49 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,640 Speaker 2: We can't know to op the private sector what to do. 50 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 3: And then there are some Democrats that are like, well 51 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,359 Speaker 3: that's Trump, so I can't support it period. 52 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 2: Yeah. 53 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 3: Well, or they want single payer where the government just 54 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 3: pays everything and there should be no price for anything 55 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 3: in healthcare. 56 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 2: It should all be free. 57 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 3: So but I think there's enough people that we should 58 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 3: be able to get this into law. We just haven't 59 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,799 Speaker 3: moved it as like a standalone peace of legislation. 60 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: All right, Well, pivoting over to funding five of the 61 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: spending bills, got to prove that parts over DHS subject 62 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: to a continuing resolution which allows DHS to continue what 63 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 1: it's ocurring funding level until what the thirteenth of this month, 64 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 1: which is fast approaching. Democrats rolled out ten some are 65 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 1: describing as outrageous demands for ICE and Home Department of 66 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: Homeland Security. Have you read the ten demands? 67 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 2: Congressman Davidson, Well, they keep adding to them. 68 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 3: Right, Originally they were like three in the negotiation, and 69 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 3: then there were ten, and now I hear there's like thirty. 70 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 3: And I think that's what's gonna happen, is that they 71 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 3: don't want to fund ICE, they want to defund ICE, 72 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 3: and so they're gonna keep moving the goalpost. Now, look, 73 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,359 Speaker 3: I trust the plan. President Trump says he's got a plan, 74 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 3: and partially I think his plan is to say, you 75 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 3: guys are pretty dumb when you said defund the police 76 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 3: if you want to have something else blow up on you. 77 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 3: I don't think the public's gonna want you to defund ICE, 78 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 3: because the other thing when you defund DHS, I mean 79 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 3: you defund everything in DHS, So you'll shut the airports 80 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 3: down TSA. We can say, oh, these are essential and 81 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 3: try to keep them running like we did in the 82 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 3: previous Democrat led shut down the coastguards funded with DHS. 83 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 3: I mean, there are a lot of things that are 84 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 3: in homeland security that we need. And so I don't know, 85 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,119 Speaker 3: we'll see how the negotiation plays out. I don't think 86 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 3: the Senate should have done this. I think they, you know, 87 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 3: lost leverage. They should have just passed it on a 88 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 3: party line vote and given okay, fine, that's what we 89 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 3: did in the House, gave the Democrats a vote, we 90 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 3: broke Homeland Security funding out and got to be recorded 91 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 3: on that. But then we blended the package together and 92 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 3: sentence to the Senate, And if they wanted to do 93 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 3: that in the Senate they could have. My concern is 94 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 3: that the reason they didn't do that is maybe they 95 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 3: didn't even have all the Republicans on board with voting 96 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 3: to fund DHS. 97 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: So we'll see, we will see and question mark as 98 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 1: we go to a brief break here and bring back 99 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,039 Speaker 1: Congressman Warren Davidson. A lot of people clamoring to incorporate 100 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 1: the Save Act into any Department of Homeland Security funding. 101 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: I imagine that Democrats don't like that. We'll hear if 102 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,599 Speaker 1: that's a possibility. T leave reading from Congressman Davidson. Plus 103 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,480 Speaker 1: new tax rules, looks like you may get a bigger 104 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,479 Speaker 1: refund this year seven thirty five. Right now, First, pump 105 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: Plumb type Plumbing, a company that knows you deserve better 106 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: when it comes to residential plumbing. You're in great hands 107 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 1: with plumb type plumbing. First off, you cued KRC the 108 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 1: talk station seven thirty nine fifty five KRC DE Talk Station. 109 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 1: Congressman Warren Davidson, joining the program this morning, went through 110 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,280 Speaker 1: some of the issues before we move over away from 111 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: a Department of Homeland and Security funding. I know a 112 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 1: lot of people are clamoring to get the Save Act 113 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,040 Speaker 1: in the funding bills, So if the Democrats are asking, 114 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 1: they have their list of demands. Republican demands include, hey, 115 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 1: how about the Save Act, which Congressman Davidson. I think 116 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: the vast majority of people really embrace the concept of 117 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: a photo identification to vote in elections. The only people 118 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,720 Speaker 1: that seem clamoring against that are Democrats. And the only 119 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 1: thing I can come up with a logical, reasonable explanation 120 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,279 Speaker 1: for that is that they want it to be easy 121 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: for people who aren't lawfully allowed to vote to vote. 122 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:32,679 Speaker 1: Congressman Davidson, your take. 123 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it's an eighty twenty issue, probably a 124 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 3: ninety ten issue in our neck of the woods. It's 125 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 3: the law in Ohio, it's not the law around the country. 126 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 3: And frankly, the only people that are opposed want to 127 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,720 Speaker 3: cheat in elections. I mean they might not want to 128 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,159 Speaker 3: cheat personally, but they certainly want to make it easy 129 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,719 Speaker 3: to cheat. And you know, I don't know how you 130 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 3: can say you have a secure, honest election when you 131 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 3: can't even say who voted right, So you know, this 132 00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,840 Speaker 3: is a crazy idea that we're debitting. And the other 133 00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 3: thing is, well, there are no illegals voting in elections. 134 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 3: And at the same time, you know it's unjust to 135 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 3: require you to prove you're a citizen, right, Okay, well 136 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 3: then affect nobody if we do. If you're right, and 137 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 3: no illegals voting elections, you know that's that's not true. 138 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 3: But but either way, you know, we've had to we've 139 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 3: had to push laws to say because they put motor 140 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:27,039 Speaker 3: voter voter ID they have, they're registering when you when 141 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 3: you get a license. They're doing nothing to get licenses, 142 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 3: including uh, commercial drivers licenses in some states. 143 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:34,720 Speaker 2: Uh. 144 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 3: And and then they're supposed to screen at the like 145 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 3: security state's supposed to screen. Is this person lawfully allowed 146 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 3: to register a vote? But in some states they don't 147 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,279 Speaker 3: do that, and so you have to go after it, 148 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:46,720 Speaker 3: go out there and purge those roles. 149 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 1: Well, under federal law, immigrants, illegal immigrants are not allowed 150 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,279 Speaker 1: to vote. There I mean, that's a black and white issue, 151 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 1: isn't it. So this was Yeah, this is a mechanism 152 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: to enforce federal law. You have to have to ask 153 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 1: for an ID or otherwise verify residency status. Otherwise they're 154 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 1: not eligible to vote. Because I mean, that's a critical component, 155 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: isn't it. 156 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:09,040 Speaker 2: Yeah? 157 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 3: I mean, and look, we need to get this done 158 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 3: soon because trankly it needs to apply to every single 159 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 3: federal election and in time is of the essence here 160 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 3: we see, you know, all kinds of things going on 161 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 3: to try to shape the outcomes of these elections, and 162 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 3: you know, you need to take illegal things off the table, 163 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 3: and by all means, go work to the votes, not doors, 164 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 3: call people, send messages, whatever that speech. But what you 165 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 3: can't do is, you know, you've got places where they're 166 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 3: doing the mail in ballots. This is the other thing 167 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 3: that needs to be part of the Save of America 168 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 3: Act is limiting the kinds of mail in voting that's 169 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 3: going on. 170 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 2: So like, yeah, if you're legitimately going. 171 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 3: To be out of town or you're in the military, 172 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 3: these are the reasons we do absentee voting. But in 173 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 3: some states they're literally mailing live ballots to people and 174 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 3: not just to hey, would you like or soliciting absentee voting, 175 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 3: and they're putting this out to places that have like 176 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 3: dozens or in some cases even hundreds of people at 177 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 3: the same address. So, you know, common sense things like 178 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 3: limiting mail in voting and frankly when the votes are counted, 179 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 3: all these kinds of things. There's so many common sense 180 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 3: reforms at the federal level. And the great thing is 181 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 3: Ohio has done a lot of these things. We had 182 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 3: a problematic election, you know, four in January sixth of five. 183 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 3: We had people object to the results in Ohio's election, 184 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 3: and of course they didn't, you know, say that was 185 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 3: crazy or anything. You know, we disagreed and they called 186 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 3: the votes and everything went smoothly. 187 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 2: But we fixed our elections. Since then, it had to 188 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 2: go to the Supreme Court to do it. 189 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 3: I mean, John Houstd when he was secure of state, 190 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 3: had to sue and win in the Supreme Court just 191 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 3: to take dead people off the voter rolls. 192 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 1: In a while, isn't that It's just absolutely crazy when 193 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: you put it that way. Congressman Davidson, well, call me 194 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:58,719 Speaker 1: jaded and cynical. I doubt it's going to be part 195 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 1: of the DHS. But this came in advance as a 196 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 1: standalone bill on its own because it's already been through 197 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 1: the House and previously. 198 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 2: Approve. 199 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:10,440 Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, and look, we've updated that bill, so we'll 200 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 3: probably vote on it this next week in the House 201 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,680 Speaker 3: and get it to the Senate with fresh language. And 202 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 3: the senate's talking about a standing filibuster. So this isn't 203 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 3: like a new thing. It doesn't break the path that 204 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 3: they've been doing with the quote sixty vote rule. There's 205 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,200 Speaker 3: another means that you can do to get a vote 206 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 3: without what they call cloture, which is sixty votes, which 207 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 3: is you know, how they agree to have debate. 208 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 2: The other thing you can do is exhaust every person 209 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 2: who speaks. 210 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 3: You can only speak two times on a given subject, 211 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 3: but you can speak for as long as you want, 212 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:44,839 Speaker 3: you know. So like mister Smith goes to Washington, he 213 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,199 Speaker 3: had no allies, so he held the floor and then 214 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 3: you know, eventually, you know, gave up, right, And that's 215 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 3: I don't want to spoil the inning for anybody it 216 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 3: hadn't seen. 217 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 2: It's a good show. Mister Smith goes to Washington. But 218 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 2: but that that is still the rule in the Senate. 219 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 3: It just isn't used because it's easier to say, well, 220 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 3: you don't have sixty votes, and they never even call 221 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:08,320 Speaker 3: the votes a lot of times. 222 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 1: Right, Well, well, I'd like to see it happen, because, again, 223 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 1: as you point out, this really is an eighty twenty issue. 224 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 1: People understand the need for a photo ID. How else 225 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 1: can you ensure the integrity of the election. And we 226 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 1: just happen to be the only what developed country in 227 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 1: the world that does not have a photo ID requirement. 228 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,080 Speaker 1: I mean everybody else woke up to this. 229 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean even the French are onto this, right, 230 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,079 Speaker 3: and they count their election results in a single day. 231 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:34,960 Speaker 2: I mean it's amazing. 232 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:37,079 Speaker 3: That's good. 233 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 1: We'll leave on that note and bring it back to 234 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 1: talk about the new tax rule and great, great things 235 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: happen in the state of Ohio. We've got to stay 236 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 1: to be doing this all a great favor. You can 237 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 1: find him on my blog page fifty five charosty dot com. 238 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 1: Thank you, Tiffany Green all the other police officers for 239 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 1: what you do. Congressman Warren Davidson pivoting back over to 240 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,560 Speaker 1: let's just start with this new manufacturing and innovation hub. 241 00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 1: This is a great thing that's happening up in Hamilton. 242 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's tremendous. 243 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 3: You've got really the first polytechnic school in Ohio, and 244 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 3: by that, you know, you've got high school kids, you've 245 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 3: got a path for like a community college degree, you've 246 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 3: got path for a four year degree, and you've got 247 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 3: adult education for just short term things. So all this 248 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,080 Speaker 3: is right there in Hamilton, and watching the kind of 249 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,559 Speaker 3: collaboration that's taken years to come together, I just kudos 250 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 3: to the City of Hamilton, Butler Tech. John Graff was 251 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 3: a longtime superintendent for Butler Tech. Joshua Smith was a 252 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:42,439 Speaker 3: longtime leader for economic development in Hamilton, And you could 253 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 3: you could spend the rest of the program naming off 254 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 3: you know, dozens of people that really just put full 255 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 3: effort into this. Doctor Crawford leading Miami, getting Miami to 256 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 3: make this commitment. I mean, it's going to be people 257 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 3: from all over the country are coming there to check 258 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 3: this thing out, and it's going to be a tremendous 259 00:11:58,040 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 3: game changer for the industry. 260 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 1: So this will involve training people for manufacturing jobs. 261 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, a whole host of them. 262 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 3: And you know, before I was in Congress, I used 263 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 3: to own manufacturing companies. I was at one time the 264 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 3: chairman of the Dayton Region Manufacturers Association. We had plants 265 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,439 Speaker 3: in Troy and plants in Fairfield, We had apprenticeship programs, 266 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,200 Speaker 3: and we never even dreamt of having the kind of 267 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 3: capability out of some of our community colleges or joint 268 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 3: vocational schools, things like Butler Tech, that you have now 269 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 3: in this So you have state of the art technology 270 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 3: in the jobs. I mean, I think the perception in 271 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 3: the public thanks to micro talking about dirty jobs and 272 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 3: so many other people, there are so many good jobs 273 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 3: and I love them in manufacturing. So you can go 274 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 3: get a PhD advanced research in manufacturing. If you want 275 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 3: to be an accountant, don't be a tax accountant, be 276 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 3: a cost account and figure out what it takes to 277 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,200 Speaker 3: make things. Or if you just like I was talking 278 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 3: to my son over Thanksgiving and catching up on his buddies, 279 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 3: and he said, well, you know, the guy who's probably 280 00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 3: making the most out of all of us went to 281 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 3: welding school for nine months now the Lima tank plant. 282 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:04,840 Speaker 3: These guys are working all the overtime he wants. He's 283 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 3: making well into the six figures as a welder. 284 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought up welding. I have always been 285 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 1: fascinated by welding. I had a litigation in Chicago involved welding, 286 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,679 Speaker 1: and when I learned about it, it's like I got 287 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 1: to learn how to weld. This is amazing. Those jobs 288 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 1: pay good money, and there's a lot of them out 289 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 1: there from everything I've heard of manufacturing. Well, you mentioned 290 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,080 Speaker 1: the adult education is going to be offered at this 291 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:31,199 Speaker 1: manufacturing innovation hub. Perfect timing given the new work requirement 292 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 1: for receiving able body people currently on social welfare benefits career. 293 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 2: That's been my view. 294 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean we changed all this back with the 295 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 3: big beautiful Bill on July fourth, And you know, back 296 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,199 Speaker 3: in the nineties this was bipartisan when Bill Clinton did 297 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 3: the deal with new Gendrich and you said, you know, 298 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 3: just like you would expect in your own friends or family, 299 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 3: you'll help someone out in need. But after a while, 300 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:55,559 Speaker 3: you're saying, you're g net need a job, right or 301 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 3: at least go to school or volunteer or something. Well, 302 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 3: that went away when Obama was pre at eight oh nine. 303 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 3: So instead of suspending all the mandate for a little while, 304 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 3: because you know, we had a big recession, they just 305 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 3: removed it and it's been hyperpartisan ever since. To get 306 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 3: this done. We passed it in the big beautiful bill, 307 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 3: and they would say, oh, all these people are gonna 308 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 3: lose their food stamps or they're going to lose their 309 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,440 Speaker 3: health care. I'm like, I really don't think so. I 310 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 3: think that if the alternative is you really need this money, 311 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 3: you're probably gonna go to school or volunteer or get 312 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 3: a job. 313 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 2: Yeah. So I think that's what's going to happen. 314 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 3: And now we've got this resource where if you just 315 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 3: need more skills, you can do it. 316 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 2: Now. 317 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,479 Speaker 3: The hard thing is is if you've got three generations 318 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 3: of people that don't have a work ethic, you're going 319 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 3: to be twenty five or thirty and don't have a 320 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 3: work ethic. 321 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 2: It's gonna be hard to fix those people. Yeah. 322 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 3: But if you're willing to do something to help yourself, 323 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 3: and you have somebody in your life that will help 324 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 3: drive you and motivate you to do it, then you 325 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 3: know we've got a great resource there in Hamilton. Now. 326 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 1: Yes, hey man, my family's philosophy and something I tried to, 327 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 1: you know, pound into my children's head. You owe society 328 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 1: and obligation to at least be able to take care 329 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 1: of yourself, unless you're just not able to, in which 330 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 1: case that's why we have programs. But if you're capable 331 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 1: of it, you owe it to society. It's kind of 332 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 1: like it takes a village, Congressman Davidson. If you're part 333 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 1: of the village, don't lay around on your butt if 334 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 1: you're capable of getting up and participating. It seems like 335 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 1: a simple philosophy that doesn't bear political stripe. But we 336 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 1: know where we are, Congressman Davidson. Finally, how about the 337 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 1: new tax rules. Apparently we're looking at bigger refunds this year. 338 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's another big thing. You know, people 339 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 3: forget that. The Big Beautiful Bill was also one of 340 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 3: the core components of it was called the Working Families 341 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 3: Task Cuts Act, and you know, of course, it locked 342 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 3: in rates that were already there that we're going to 343 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 3: go up significantly if we didn't pass the law and 344 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 3: make them permanent. But it added new things like you know, 345 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 3: a six thousand dollars deduction for Social Security, like no 346 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 3: tax on overtime, no tax on tips for businesses that 347 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 3: you know, restored things that did expire like being able 348 00:15:56,160 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 3: to expense research and development and capital expenditures interest, So 349 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 3: these things are huge. We think that's going to start 350 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 3: kicking in with the new withholdings for the year, and 351 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:08,960 Speaker 3: it's going to drive some of the investment that's going 352 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 3: to keep our. 353 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 2: Growth rate high. 354 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 3: I mean, you know, looking at a four percent growth 355 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 3: rate projection for the year, and we got to do 356 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 3: other things to keep that happening. But you know, the 357 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 3: work has been done, and I think President Trump's led 358 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 3: a strong path to growth for the economy. 359 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 1: And thanks to folks like you, we are on a 360 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 1: path to growth. 361 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 2: Growth. 362 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 1: Congress and Warren Davidson, thank you so much for spending 363 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 1: time with my listeners and me.
