• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Coming up on seven oh six at fifty five krs
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: DE Talk Station Extra Special on a Thursday, which quite
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: often is at this time the return o and thank
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: God for Congressman Warren Davidson. There are some good ones
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: out there. Welcome back, Congressman Davidson. Always a pleasure to
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: have you on the fifty five KRSSE Morning Show. Sir, hey,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: welcome back to you as well. It's great to have
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: the crew together and not always an honor to join you.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: And speaking of the crew, I hate to put you
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: on the spot, but quite often I have seen you
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: at the Hoodie Memorial which has taken place this Saturday.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Are you going to be there to make an appearance?
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: My apologies this year, I will not oh going out
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: to speak to the gun owners of America on Saturday.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: A worthy endeavor.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: I'll mention your name.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: That's a Hoodie Memorial celebrates the legacy of MSD Corey
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: hood who lost his life in a tragic parashating accident.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: He was a US Army Golden Knight, but he loved
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: his hometown of Westchester, and so they created a scholarship fund,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: one of which is fully funded. And I hate to
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: take a little time here. But it's such a great organization.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's a sense of community. He loved his
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: community and he spread that joy and love wherever he went,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: and we see so little of that hometown, proud love
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: and anymore. And that's why I think it's such a
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: beautiful foundation. So they've got a fully funded scholarship given
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: seventy five hundred bucks to Lakota students graduating. They've got
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: to get a youth athletics fund, which they're trying to
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: get fully funded, as well as a memorial Veterans and
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Active service Members fund. So we're gonna be putting some
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: money together this Saturday for them, and so salutes everybody
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: involved in that charity. And God rest his soul. MSG
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Corey Hood. Anyway, on new matters, let's just quickly dive
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: into the Fauci testimony. Did you watch it? I thought
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: the one thing we get to benefit from it was
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: this concentrated dose of cold water fire hose grade reality.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: One factually back, they brought the goods with them, point
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: after another about how that man lied to us and
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: was in this job seemingly for his own personal financial
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: gain and to serve his own malignant narcissism. But your
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: reaction and do you think anything's going to come after
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: the yesterday's circus Congressman Davidson.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he's a disgusting guy. You look fauci
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: for prison in my view at least.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: I mean, so.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: I thought, look two things. Rand Paul was well prepared
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: for this, old years preparing for it. Josh Holly did
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: a nice job of saying, no, no, you can't claim immunity
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: for that because you can't incorinators.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: You have no liability there. He walked him through the code.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: And then in Rand Paul's final questioning, he's laying out
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: saying everything, let's be specific, this is for the years
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: of your pardon. So he's taken off of the table
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: that there's any risk to him because the pardon has
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: already been issued. And I think that sets him up
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: to get a contempt at Congress charge.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: I don't know where that'll go.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Congress has referred lots of things to the Department of
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Justice and see no action. But I was encouraged that Trump,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: although he still defends the brilliant success, says this time.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: COVID and warp speed and everything.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: He's at least it's the first time that ever seen
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: him be critical of Fauci. So he walked himself away
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: from Fauci yesterday with some truth social post, and so
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: far I had never really seen him be critical of Fauci,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: So I think that's maybe there's some hope that DJ
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: will do something.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Well, there's certainly that possibility. And one of the arguments
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: that been made on Fauci's behalf at least from a
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: legal perspective, and we are going to have Steve Gooden
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: on later in this hour to talk about the whole
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Fifth Amendment assertion is that perhaps he could still be
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: facing state level criminal charges, and therefore, because the presidential
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: immunity doesn't extend down to state charges, if there is
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: a theory of criminal liability or other maybe perhaps civil
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: liability that exists out in the world, that he may
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: still be facing some which may serve the serve as
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: the reason for his perhaps, although I question it valid
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: assertion to the Fifth Amendment.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Well, it's certainly possible, and that's a way out, but
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: I'd rather see him using that Fifth Amendment on a
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: stand in a state court. Yeah, I care it's a
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: municipal court at this point, but I just think this,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: this is a disgusting guy. I mean, to me, this
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: is a failure of our constitution. Uh the framework's there
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: for us to have accountability. Uh So I don't know
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: that this isn't the system our constitution really built. And
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: so it's a failure of our elected officials and our
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: people to hold people like Anthony Fauci or Alexandro Maiorchis.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: In my opinion, I mean complete violation of the oath.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: The oath is the Homeland Security secretaries to secure the border.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: He completely violated that, and we've seen no action taken
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: against my Orchis. Couldn't you couldn't even get a vote
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: on impeaching him when he was on office. You look
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: at Fauci and you look at you know, corruption. We
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: did ban well, the House did it hasn't done anything.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: We had a vote to ban congressional stock trading. It's
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: not insider trading. Insider trading still illegal. But you know,
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: there's this feeling that Congress has things that average people don't.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Even though the hearings are republic the average person didn't
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: watching them. So they're like, let's just be in congressionals trading.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: But you got to extend that to guys like Fauci.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: That's right, you guys making off of this. So if
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: you're going to do it, this guy has does he
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: have inside information? He's reviewing the things that stay classified
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: for sixty years and giving approval.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: And formally getting money out of it. And the current
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: ethics laws.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: He flouted to to Senator Paul saying, I don't have
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: to answer that.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: I don't have to tell you specifically in the law.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: I don't have to tell you how much money I'm
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: making because of disapproval.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's insane. And that is a very valid point,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: which is, you know, and going back to my comments earlier,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: but we put so much faith in elected officials or
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: so called respected men of science like Fauci, and we
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: take them as what their words are, as gospel, because
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: we presume that there's no nefarious intent behind what they're doing.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: But going back to your part about trading stocks, if
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Fauci is in invested in pharmaceutical companies, pick one, maybe
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: one that manufactures the new vaccine that comes out, he
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: is telling the world. And I know there's still some
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: swirling question marks about whether let's say, ivermectin worked or
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: didn't work to get rid of COVID. We were all
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: told it's a horse worm pill.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: Don't take it.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: If you do, you're crazy. Your social media posts relating
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: to that in spite of the fact that some people
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: had success, that some doctors were prescribing it even though
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: the pharmacies wouldn't fill it. You know that might have
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: because it's a generic drug been on the market for decades.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: That might put a crimp in the whole idea of
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: making profit at the pharmaceutical companies. Can you imagine if
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: you have the ability to flip a switch and say no,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: that alternative, potentially useful medicine you cannot have. It will
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: not work. My word is gospel. And that turns into
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: a mandate for a pharmaceutical manufacturer product that's brand new
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: that will make that company millions and millions of dollars.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: That sounds like a money making opportunity. To meet Congressman Davidson,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: So maybe we should expand the ban on stock trading
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: to literally everyone in the capacity that has anything lady
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: to do with an impact on any stock.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, look, I've put it.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Ethics should take care of that, But they're formally drafting
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: it for Fauci's role. As we learned, they're in sestimony
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: where they specifically don't I mean part of the compensation
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: package from the FDA and the way the fund the
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: FDA even is drug approvals, so like if you want
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: cash low for the organization just to prove more drugs,
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: you look at, as you said, complete control over it.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: A lot of people think the ivermectin thing was to
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: make sure that it didn't kill the emergency use authority
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: for it. An honest thing would have said, well, we
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: still want to do emergency use for some crazy reason.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: But you know, okay, if you want to be honest
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: about ivermect and be honest, But there's so much deception
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: there and you look at other things that have been exposed.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is the frailty of where we were
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: going as a country. You know, you talked about you're
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: canceled if you even mentioned this. This was so set
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: each with the coercive power of government. Here everything that's
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: supposed to be just. I mean, this is a fail
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: over tos a government and there's been no remedy for it.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: We know that there's been massive abuses of the power
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: of you know, making money off of your actions like
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: Fauci did and every other thing. There's been no real
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: accountability for it, and we hadn't really changed the laws
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: to really prevent it from happening again. Even though some
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: states like you know, Florida did far better than states
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: like you know, Ohio and preserve freedom and good governments
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: defend freedom. Ohio certainly didn't. And at least our state
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: legislature pulled back, you know, the emergency authorization from Governor Dowine.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: You eventually got enough Republica ers in the State House
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: and State Senate to override his veto and they pulled
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: back the emergency powers. But what a horrible era, and
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: Fauci's the icon for it, and he has.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Well and even when there have been law on the
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: books for years and years, we find out first time
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: for me yesterday Josh Hawley introducing all this information about
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: how Fauci illegally used staff to solicit prize money while
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: serving as the director of the National Ensuit for Allergy
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: and Infectious Diseases. He had like eight people working donned
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: their government hours helping him to achieve these financial prizes.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: All you are has got to be declared the winner
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: of the Dan David Award and you get hundreds of
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: thousands of dollars. He was having them go out into
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: the world and advocate to the people responsible for making
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: the award to award it to him. That's illegal. It's
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: a violation of law. Well, and there's one of the
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: things he was pardoned for. But even when there's laws
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: on the books, we obviously have probably a whole complete
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: history volumes Tom's full of information about politicians and people
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: in government who violate the law and knowingly do so.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: So the laws don't always quite help, do they.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: Well, it's not helping.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: And you know that's you know, it's one of the
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: frustrations I think for everybody right now is okay, well
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: what has changed? And I think, look, let's not forget
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: all the things that did change. And you know, when
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: President Trump came in, we saw lots of reform. But
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: I will say, even when you know, we had a
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: Republican majority in the House, Joe Biden was the president.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: But to our surprise, we were.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Able to get into the emergency Declaration because early on
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: in the Biden administration they were trying to copy what
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: Ohio was doing and use workers comp and every other
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: agency out there to be coercive. If you don't comply
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: with the COVID executive Order mandates, you know, then we'll
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: pull your license, will shut you down. You can't go
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: to work if you don't get the shot. They were
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: trying to use that for OSHA and everything else at
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: the federal level.
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: The groundwork for that.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: Had already been laid out here in the laboratories of
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: tyranny around the country, with these tyrants all over the
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: country just issuing orders. Amy act and a course was
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: the Ohio whisperer. But at the end of the day,
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: the governor at least admitted his role and being the decider.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: As the governor, he's certainly empowered Amy Acting to do
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: bad things. And I'd hate to see her come back.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: That'd be like, you know, flashback of fauci here.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Oh, no question about it. Thank you for putting an
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: exclamation point on the need for my listeners to get
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: out and vote in November. Took away more with Congressman
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Warren Davidson. Bombs are dropping more over in Iran. Do
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: we have enough fifty KCD talk station? Sounds to me
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: like they're pulling Donald Trump's chains Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Corps sort of launching additional missiles into Jordan yesterday, apparently
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: all of them were shot down, Swirling question marks about
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: you know what we're going to do. We did retaliate
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: with additional missiles, but amid reports that were running low
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: and our air defense our weapons have been depleted. Congressman
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: Warren Davidson, what word have you gotten on the situation there?
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: I know there's been a big, multi billion dollar ask
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: to fund this conflict. What's your take on where we
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: are and are we concerned about our weapons stockpile?
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: Well, where we're at as in an escalation trap. You know,
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: we haven't committed to win a war decisively. To do that,
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: you would declare war or at least authorize it, and
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: the whole nation.
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: Would be united behind the war.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: And that's what our constitution requires and one of the
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: reasons why it requires it, and it was in the
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: debates as to how they would structure the constitution and
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: why they structured it the way they did. Federalist sixty
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: nine lays it out. There are no free wars. It's
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: one of the big threats to a country is bankruptcy.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: In being bankrupted or really wrecking the population by laying
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: heavy taxes and burdens to be able to pay off wars.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: So that's the kind of thing that our funding fathers
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: considered as lessons from history when they structured it that way.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: Now we're kind of in this passive mode where well,
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: we're not really going to even sometimes acknowledge that it's
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: a war. There's even an effort to pretend that the
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: war really was lasting from February twenty eighth until the
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: MoU was entered into and then there was like this
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: magic new date that started with new hostilities and complete
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: disrespect for four soldiers who died in Jordan where they're
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: not listed as killed in action in this Iran war.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: I mean, I find that just obscene. I mean I
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: think it's morally wrong, and that's why you should just
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: be honest.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: It's a war. It's the Iran War. I was just
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: so to authorized that they.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Didn't that's not unprecedented. But now they need lots of
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: money to do it, because it costs a lot of
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: money to use these weapons, and of course you have
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: to replenish them, just like you need to replenish this
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: strategic patrolling reserve.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: You're draining on it, draining on it. You need to
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: replenish it.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: And you know, that's one of the things President Trump
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: tried to do, you know, at the end of his
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: first term because with COVID oil was they're cheap, you know,
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: and the Democrats literally blocked them from replenishing it when
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: oil was cheap. So all through the Biden administration, they
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: drained that down. They drained our weapons systems down because
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: they gave everything they could in the world to Ukraine
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: as they eventually ran to the limits of Congress's willingness
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: to vote for it. I never voted for any money
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: for Ukraine personally. They never got around to defining a
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: mission there, but they at least have you know, they've
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: drained it. I mean, that's what happened, That's what Trump
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: came into and then these wars have also put a
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: burden on it. So yeah, they're going to have to
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: spend money and they're going to have to do production,
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: and they are working on the production, I will say that.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: And you know, they passed a budget to be able
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: to spend the money, but it's.
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: Not clear that it can get through the Senate.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: And frankly they're working to pass defense appropriations all in
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: the request combined the supplemental request plus regular appropriations. They're
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: asking for an additional six hundred billion dollars. So they're
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: capturing it out of sixty seventy or three point fifty
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: billion here or there. If you take the baseline last year,
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: it was like eight hundred and thirty nine billion dollars,
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: and you add what the combined total request is they
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: want just under one point five trillion, So I think
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: it's about six hundred and eleven billion dollars extra they
