Congressman Warren Davidson joins Brian Thomas this morning · Brian Thomas

Speaker 1: Seven oh five here at fifty five KRC decalctation Happy Friday,
0:05
Speaker 1: actually specially on a Thursday, the return which is a
0:09
Speaker 1: running gig. Here on the fifty five Carsee Morning Show,
0:11
Speaker 1: Congressman Warren Davidson, welcome back to the fifty five KRSEE
0:14
Speaker 1: Morning Show, my friend. It's always a pleasure speaking with you.
0:18
Speaker 2: I'm always looking forward to it. Nice to talk with you, Brian.
0:20
Speaker 1: Thanks man. And you heard the top of the our news.
0:22
Speaker 1: And earlier in the week we had US Energy Secretary
0:26
Speaker 1: of Energy Chris Wright say, along with other quotes to
0:28
Speaker 1: this effect. On Sunday alone, ohere twenty million barrels left
0:31
Speaker 1: the Arabian golf region, which is above pre conflict average.
0:34
Speaker 1: Also comment about how many boats had gone through the
0:36
Speaker 1: Strait of Horror Moves. We had Trump yesterday saying the
0:40
Speaker 1: United States has total control of the Strait of Horror Moves,
0:42
Speaker 1: which to me suggests traffic is flowing through again. However,
0:45
Speaker 1: according to Kepler and all the other reports, ship tracking
0:48
Speaker 1: data shows no, that's not even remotely the case. In fact,
0:51
Speaker 1: one analyst over at Keppler said it is not possible
0:54
Speaker 1: to reconcile the disparity between what we see and what
0:57
Speaker 1: he is quoting, So is oil moving through or not?
1:02
Speaker 1: And if it's really not, which the data and analysts
1:04
Speaker 1: suggests based on satellite satellite photographs of ships and ship
1:08
Speaker 1: monitoring data, why would Trump say something like that, Congressman Davidson, Yeah.
1:13
Speaker 2: You'd have to ask Trump why he says a range
1:16
Speaker 2: of things that he says. You know, we're rooting for
1:18
Speaker 2: America here, though we want, you know, America to prevail.
1:23
Speaker 2: The blockade is certainly locking down oil we don't want
1:27
Speaker 2: through so you know, when people are trying to pay
1:30
Speaker 2: a ran for oil and bypass sanctions and everything which
1:34
Speaker 2: was going on before this war began on February twenty eighth,
1:41
Speaker 2: you know, the blockade made sense. You've got you can
1:43
Speaker 2: control every Iranian ship if you want, and that's part
1:46
Speaker 2: of the purpose of the blockade. As for can we
1:50
Speaker 2: safely escort enough ships out? I don't think we can
1:53
Speaker 2: escort enough ships out to make up for you know,
1:56
Speaker 2: the pre conflict flow through the straight up or moves.
2:00
Speaker 2: But you certainly are seeing some flow through, so yeah,
2:04
Speaker 2: I think that's probably what you're seeing is you know,
2:08
Speaker 2: I guess word wars there, but yeah, there is some
2:10
Speaker 2: oil flowing through you know how much I think the
2:13
Speaker 2: markets will tell you not as much as before.
2:16
Speaker 1: Right, price of oil, I guess jumped up yesterday to
2:19
Speaker 1: just under ninety bucks a barrel, which is not providing
2:21
Speaker 1: any relief at the pump. And you know, I think
2:24
Speaker 1: about inflation generally speaking, and most of the inflationary realities
2:27
Speaker 1: we're dealing with completely out of Donald Trump's hands. He's
2:30
Speaker 1: not directly responsible for so much of it. You know,
2:32
Speaker 1: global supply demand issues that we have no control over.
2:35
Speaker 1: But insofar as the price of the barrel of oil,
2:38
Speaker 1: I think the Democrats that's the one thing they might
2:40
Speaker 1: have going into Novembers, so they can blame you know, Trump,
2:43
Speaker 1: the Republicans if you want, they want to pin with
2:45
Speaker 1: a broad brush for this conflict, whether it was proper
2:48
Speaker 1: or not. As a different story, but there is a
2:50
Speaker 1: sad reality that by launching the strikes against Iran, they
2:53
Speaker 1: have figured out how to control the strait of horror moves,
2:55
Speaker 1: which has had a global impact. I think that's an
2:57
Speaker 1: undeniable reality. Or maybe I missed some of a point
3:00
Speaker 1: in their Congressman Davidson.
3:03
Speaker 2: Well, look, they are having a global impact, but they're
3:05
Speaker 2: having a big impact on Iran too, So if you
3:07
Speaker 2: think about it, you know, look that's their lifeline too,
3:10
Speaker 2: That's how they get that. They fund their whole economy
3:13
Speaker 2: off of this. So you know they're getting nothing. And
3:16
Speaker 2: yeah they're causing pain and suffering for others, But who's
3:19
Speaker 2: suffering the most is the average guy in Iran? You know,
3:22
Speaker 2: because I'll tell you the leadership of the IRGC. If
3:24
Speaker 2: there's an ounce of wealth in Iran, the ERGYC is
3:29
Speaker 2: going to control it. And so you know, that's always
3:32
Speaker 2: the hard thing of it about this economic war approach
3:36
Speaker 2: is you know the average guys, the people that you
3:38
Speaker 2: want to be sympathetic to our position, you know, they're
3:43
Speaker 2: the ones that suffer the most. And you know they
3:45
Speaker 2: can they connect the dots and see, really it's the
3:48
Speaker 2: stranglehold that the IRGC is having on their country. I
3:51
Speaker 2: think a lot of them can, but unfortunately tens of
3:53
Speaker 2: thousand of them have been killed by the energy see.
3:56
Speaker 2: So yeah, look I'm rooting for them. I want them
3:59
Speaker 2: to have a better future and a better government. I
4:01
Speaker 2: think that Trump administration Vice President Vance in particular, have
4:05
Speaker 2: laid out a possible alternative future for them. But the
4:09
Speaker 2: air GC I think rightly sees that well, that would
4:12
Speaker 2: be the end of them, you know, and they care
4:15
Speaker 2: more about power to the point where they would rather
4:18
Speaker 2: rule over the Ashes than have a better future for
4:20
Speaker 2: a RAN. And in a lot of ways, their sort
4:23
Speaker 2: of radical Gidi mindset is reinforced by a lot of
4:27
Speaker 2: the things going on there. So look, I think there's
4:29
Speaker 2: a lot of different approaches we could have done at
4:31
Speaker 2: this point. The toothpaste out of the tube, and you
4:33
Speaker 2: got to make the best of the situation. The blockade,
4:35
Speaker 2: I think has a chance to work. But you know
4:37
Speaker 2: that's not free for us either. They are real strains
4:40
Speaker 2: and consequences for us to sustain this. The question is
4:43
Speaker 2: can we sustain it? Can we stay the course and
4:45
Speaker 2: we'll produce any effect? You know, the markets work on math,
4:49
Speaker 2: so you can you can certainly see, well do they
4:52
Speaker 2: really work on math? Because you see the true social
4:55
Speaker 2: posts and the markets move up or the markets move down,
4:58
Speaker 2: and you know, you know, hopefully hopefully nobody's doing anything
5:02
Speaker 2: untoward there. But you know, the people are right to
5:07
Speaker 2: be concerned and pay attention to that. You know that's
5:09
Speaker 2: a wrongful use of position and information, And you see
5:14
Speaker 2: a lot of front running and some of this messaging.
5:16
Speaker 2: I think that's, you know, a real concern in the
5:19
Speaker 2: real question is our markets really rational and are they
5:22
Speaker 2: really going to work off math? And I think what
5:24
Speaker 2: you're seeing is they're saying, yeah, they're going to be
5:27
Speaker 2: some critical shortages for a while.
5:29
Speaker 1: No question about it. I like the veiled reference to
5:32
Speaker 1: the meme market we have going on out there. There's
5:34
Speaker 1: no questions that's going on to a certain degree. But
5:37
Speaker 1: what of the suffering of the Iranian people? Now, I
5:39
Speaker 1: just I kind of look to our southern neighbors, the Cubans,
5:42
Speaker 1: and they've been living under misery and suffering for a
5:44
Speaker 1: long long time. And of course there's been no open
5:48
Speaker 1: rebowl rebellion up until most recently. But the Iranians have
5:51
Speaker 1: been suffering for a long time. I think they're used
5:53
Speaker 1: to suffering. And then they also all basically share one
5:56
Speaker 1: fundamentalist ideology. At least, they're all wedded to the real religion,
6:00
Speaker 1: a belief in Islam, whether or not the radicals or not,
6:03
Speaker 1: and that's a real unifier. Religion is And I know
6:06
Speaker 1: the IRGC doesn't care about the suffering of its people,
6:09
Speaker 1: So I guess the question becomes one of how long
6:13
Speaker 1: can they last with the suffering, how long will the
6:15
Speaker 1: suffering have to go on until something cracks there? And
6:19
Speaker 1: it seems to me they can take a whole lot.
6:20
Speaker 1: And then there's the other component. I got to raise
6:22
Speaker 1: this because it's really I think it's a profound warning
6:25
Speaker 1: to us. We had this Muhammad Residanakhti, guy Irani military fish,
6:31
Speaker 1: were talking about, you know, we can take a lot basically.
6:33
Speaker 1: You know, we've seen how the American military is. It's
6:35
Speaker 1: weaker than we had perceived. We've learned a lot from
6:37
Speaker 1: this conflict. And here's the quote that bothered me. He said,
6:39
Speaker 1: if there comes a day when Iran has no more
6:42
Speaker 1: missiles left, that's when we will be even more dangerous
6:45
Speaker 1: for America because America has thousands of economic interests throughout
6:49
Speaker 1: the world, and all of them can easily be destroyed. Now,
6:52
Speaker 1: of course, if you think about it, you can launch
6:54
Speaker 1: a cyber attacks. We had water systems like twelve of
6:57
Speaker 1: them here in the United States, and the Iranians were
7:00
Speaker 1: I believe to be behind the attacks on our water systems.
7:03
Speaker 1: They don't have to send a drone into our territory
7:05
Speaker 1: to do some serious damage to us. But then again,
7:08
Speaker 1: you think about we do have literally thousands of interests
7:11
Speaker 1: throughout the world, military bases, business interest you know, terrorist cells,
7:16
Speaker 1: that kind of thing, and then they take attribution for
7:18
Speaker 1: it because well, the US bombed us again. So what
7:21
Speaker 1: we're going to do is start blowing things up outside
7:23
Speaker 1: of the strait of horror. Moves, little tiny missiles, little
7:26
Speaker 1: tiny drone boats, whatever happens to be. You don't need
7:29
Speaker 1: much to do a whole lot of harm and create
7:31
Speaker 1: massive psychological damage.
7:34
Speaker 2: Yeah. Look, I know there's a lot of fixation on Iran,
7:37
Speaker 2: but to suffer and I'm worried about as the average
7:39
Speaker 2: American when I'm out talking to my constituents, they're worried
7:41
Speaker 2: about their affordability. They're rooting for Iran to have better life,
7:45
Speaker 2: but they want a better life for themselves. They definitely
7:48
Speaker 2: want a better life for their kids. And you know,
7:50
Speaker 2: some of these challenges, this is the challenge, you know,
7:53
Speaker 2: that's how the Roman Empire died. It's expensive to sustain
7:55
Speaker 2: an empire, yes, and we don't have an empire. We
7:59
Speaker 2: have a republic. We're behaving as if we've got this
8:02
Speaker 2: vast empire, and in essence we do. But we can
8:05
Speaker 2: afford a republic. That's what our constitution created, and we're
8:11
Speaker 2: bankrupting our country with all these aimless missions too. I mean,
8:15
Speaker 2: if you look at the mission, what exactly is it
8:18
Speaker 2: and has it been accomplished? Usually you accomplish the mission once,
8:21
Speaker 2: not like three times a week. And so you really
8:24
Speaker 2: want to say, look, if you're going to commit to
8:26
Speaker 2: a conflict, then define the mission and commit to it.
8:29
Speaker 2: That's what the that's why Congress is supposed to vote
8:32
Speaker 2: for it, and you get the entire country behind. I
8:34
Speaker 2: will say, in general, you're more likely to win any
8:37
Speaker 2: conflict if you multiply your allies rather than multiply your enemies.
8:41
Speaker 2: That isn't going great either. So yeah, I think we
8:44
Speaker 2: should just focus on America first, get our own house
8:48
Speaker 2: in order. And for the Democrats to say, oh, Trump
8:50
Speaker 2: did this, no, I mean they're the ones that shot
8:53
Speaker 2: the economy with Joe Biden's quote Inflation Reduction Act. It
8:57
Speaker 2: was the Inflation Expansion Act. They're pouring cash onto already
9:01
Speaker 2: stressed because of COVID, but they through fuel on a
9:04
Speaker 2: bonfire and we're dealing with the consequences. I mean, you
9:07
Speaker 2: talk about the huge spike in prices that happened during COVID.
9:12
Speaker 2: Now people are saying, well, the prices are still high. Yeah,
9:15
Speaker 2: inflation's measuring the rate of growth, so it is stabling
9:18
Speaker 2: and plateauing. The question is are we going to get
9:21
Speaker 2: wages growth to go up? And this is the thing.
9:24
Speaker 2: If you want wage growth, well, you don't import the world.
9:27
Speaker 2: You don't bring you know, ten or twenty million people
9:29
Speaker 2: into the country, you don't have this massive H one
9:31
Speaker 2: D visa program. You don't flood the market with fraud
9:36
Speaker 2: fraudulent cash which causes inflation. All this stuff is juicing
9:41
Speaker 2: inflation and holding down wages. So this is the you know,
9:45
Speaker 2: make America a great again. Position in America first is
9:48
Speaker 2: you know, keep the border secure, hold this down, get
9:51
Speaker 2: the illegal labor out, and the average working guys going
9:54
Speaker 2: to see their paycheck go up. And that in essence
9:58
Speaker 2: happened with the working families tax cuts. I mean people
10:00
Speaker 2: were going to get a big tax increase and they
10:02
Speaker 2: got tax decreases. So you know, this is a this
10:05
Speaker 2: is a win for affordability. But we're not getting the
10:08
Speaker 2: message out because we're focused on the empire instead of
10:10
Speaker 2: the republic. Good point.
10:12
Speaker 1: And the other component is and it's a more difficult
10:14
Speaker 1: message to explain to voters. If voters are really really
10:17
Speaker 1: wigged out and mad about inflation, and yeah, the prices
10:20
Speaker 1: aren't are probably never going to go back down to
10:22
Speaker 1: pre COVID levels. Why because of the aforementioned printing press reality,
10:27
Speaker 1: the afford the Inflation Reduction Act, the PPP loans everything.
10:30
Speaker 1: They just through six or seven or however many trillion
10:33
Speaker 1: dollars in the economy. The buying power of the American
10:36
Speaker 1: dollar is one third less than it was in twenty nineteen.
10:40
Speaker 1: There's your problem right there. The dollar just isn't going
10:43
Speaker 1: to buy as much as it used to thanks to
10:44
Speaker 1: the printing press. Welcome to the Democrats and even Republicans, right,
10:48
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a shit.
10:49
Speaker 2: I mean, look, we didn't get thirty nine almost thirty
10:52
Speaker 2: nine point seven almost forty trillion in debt because one
10:55
Speaker 2: party is bad on spending. I mean, unfortunately, you know, Republicans,
11:00
Speaker 2: we know the campaign on a smaller more accountable government.
11:02
Speaker 2: If we believed in it, while we have House, Senate
11:06
Speaker 2: and White House, we would be getting a smaller, more
11:08
Speaker 2: accountable government. I think a lot of us are very
11:10
Speaker 2: frustrated by that. We don't have a majority within the
11:13
Speaker 2: Republican Party on this realities. It only takes a handful
11:16
Speaker 2: of crossover and kind of deal with Democrats. And no
11:18
Speaker 2: matter how crazy they get, you know, there's always seems
11:21
Speaker 2: to be some Republican that's anxious to trot out and
11:24
Speaker 2: talk about how bipartisan they are, and you're like, is
11:27
Speaker 2: stop cutting these bad deals please? So that's kind of
11:31
Speaker 2: the hold the line. Let's just go straight like we
11:34
Speaker 2: said we would do, instead of pretending we're in a
11:37
Speaker 2: Nascar race and we can only turn left. That's the
11:39
Speaker 2: way our politics has been. You get in there and
11:41
Speaker 2: you're like, I want to go straight, and you're like, no, no,
11:43
Speaker 2: the track's rigged. You get to turn left. And that's
11:46
Speaker 2: the way our political system has been. The Senate keeps
11:49
Speaker 2: failing us, and part of the way it's rigged is
11:50
Speaker 2: a sixty vote rule in the Senate, and they act like, oh,
11:53
Speaker 2: well that's the only way to do anything in the Senate. Well,
11:56
Speaker 2: you could hold the floor and win the debate, as
11:58
Speaker 2: Mike leeese been jumping up and down for a year
12:01
Speaker 2: and a half now trying to get them to do
12:03
Speaker 2: to save America on election integrity. They could do that
12:06
Speaker 2: on all kinds of things if they really believed in.
12:08
Speaker 1: It, no question about a possible bring Congress with Warren
12:10
Speaker 1: Davidson back after the brief words including a word for
12:13
Speaker 1: Cover Sincy and to my Medicare folks out there, I
12:16
Speaker 1: guess the deadline is the December seventh. Don't auto renew
12:20
Speaker 1: John Rowlman the team at Cover Sincy, and this is
12:22
Speaker 1: a free service for you, my friends. They will take
12:24
Speaker 1: a look at your Medicare situation and if you need
12:27
Speaker 1: to have a change, and there may very well be
12:29
Speaker 1: a need. They don't even know what's going to be
12:31
Speaker 1: what the situation is, I think until the fifteenth of October.
12:34
Speaker 1: So schedule an appointment now to meet with John Rouman
12:37
Speaker 1: and one or one of the team, most likely one
12:39
Speaker 1: of the team from October fifteenth forward, so they have
12:43
Speaker 1: all the information and they can steer you in the
12:44
Speaker 1: right direction. Auto renewal can be a very bad thing,
12:48
Speaker 1: so don't just keep status quo. Make sure you pay attention,
12:51
Speaker 1: know what you're doing, and make the right choices. And
12:53
Speaker 1: John Roulman and the team will help you do just
12:54
Speaker 1: that again at no cost to you. Schedule the appointment
12:58
Speaker 1: by filling the form out online at cover since he
13:00
Speaker 1: dot com or call five to one three eight hundred
13:04
Speaker 1: call that's five one three eight hundred two two five five.
13:16
Speaker 2: Oh.
13:16
Speaker 1: Look, just tracker walked out of the building. You went
13:21
Speaker 1: to rescue the cell phone? Anyway, Congressman Davidson, since you
13:24
Speaker 1: haven't hung up, and I'm going to keep you on
13:25
Speaker 1: the phone here because Joe had to go pick Speaking
13:27
Speaker 1: of phones, he lost his cell phone and a buddy
13:29
Speaker 1: of his went and picked it up and is bringing
13:30
Speaker 1: it to him. That's why he walked out of the room.
13:32
Speaker 1: We talked about the Senate there, Congressman Davidson, the senators
13:37
Speaker 1: who wouldn't vote to stay in REESEA, the Senators who
13:40
Speaker 1: don't want to vote for the Save Act. Do you
13:41
Speaker 1: have any clear indication as to why that is the case, sir,
13:44
Speaker 1: because I'm baffled by that. You know the polling. You
13:47
Speaker 1: know this is a bipartisan issue that people want, just
13:50
Speaker 1: proof that you're an American citizen to vote in federal elections.
13:53
Speaker 1: How come they won't do it?
13:55
Speaker 2: Well, look tutos to Senator John Houstead. You know who's
13:58
Speaker 2: on the ballot and hopefully can fail and make sure
14:00
Speaker 2: Shared Brown doesn't return to the Senate. You know, that's
14:04
Speaker 2: that's one of the most urgent races in the country.
14:06
Speaker 2: But you know, Senator Houston got to vote just on
14:09
Speaker 2: plane voter ID. Oh, the Save Act does this, so
14:12
Speaker 2: does that there's a lot of misinformation out there on purpose?
14:15
Speaker 2: He said, no, no, this is just voter ID. The thing
14:17
Speaker 2: we already have in Ohio works fine, and it works
14:21
Speaker 2: in all but like thirteen or fourteen states. You know,
14:23
Speaker 2: you got to have vote I D. If you can't
14:25
Speaker 2: tell me who voted, how can you tell me you
14:26
Speaker 2: had an honest election? So this is really basic. It's
14:30
Speaker 2: eighty plus ninety plus percent approval and it was fifty
14:34
Speaker 2: two forty seven. I mean, Senator McConnell's the only guy
14:36
Speaker 2: that didn't vote. He's recovering, you know, from whatever ails
14:41
Speaker 2: him right now. But he, you know, everyone else's party
14:44
Speaker 2: line vote. Why would Democrats do that? Well, the Democrats
14:48
Speaker 2: in so many other states they show ID and it works,
14:52
Speaker 2: and it's all because they want to keep the system
14:55
Speaker 2: rigged the way it's rigged. You know, if you look
14:57
Speaker 2: at you know, some of these comes a minute. You
15:01
Speaker 2: get election results days and weeks after the election, and
15:06
Speaker 2: somehow magically the right Democrat candidate seems to always find like,
15:10
Speaker 2: you know, one hundred more votes or something just enough
15:12
Speaker 2: to get across the finish line. We suspect there are
15:15
Speaker 2: a lot of things that are rigged, but the most
15:17
Speaker 2: basic thing is, you know, are you who you say
15:20
Speaker 2: you are? You're coming here saying I would like a
15:22
Speaker 2: ballot please, and well, my name's Warren Davidson. Okay, even
15:26
Speaker 2: though everyone there knows who I am. I hand my
15:29
Speaker 2: ID card to the polling place and they match it
15:33
Speaker 2: and they go, oh, yeah, you are Warren Davidson, and
15:35
Speaker 2: you vote. This isn't a hard thing to do. And
15:39
Speaker 2: Johnny Instead did a great job getting a vote on
15:41
Speaker 2: that same America is a little more complicated than that
15:44
Speaker 2: because on the back end they check the voter rolls
15:46
Speaker 2: to say are you citizens? And you found in mobile
15:49
Speaker 2: states recently New Jersey, thousands of people who go to
15:53
Speaker 2: motor Voter, They go to the DMV and they say, hey,
15:56
Speaker 2: would you like to register to vote? And they just
15:58
Speaker 2: say yes or the fault is you get registered right. Well,
16:01
Speaker 2: maybe maybe non citizens did that accidentally, maybe some of
16:05
Speaker 2: them did it on purpose. Some of them may vote,
16:07
Speaker 2: but that's one of the big problems with our election integrity,
16:11
Speaker 2: and as a common sense fixed, I think we've got
16:14
Speaker 2: the votes that Republicans would just hold the floor. They
16:17
Speaker 2: don't seem committed enough to it to go fight and
16:19
Speaker 2: hold the floor though, And I don't know how they
16:21
Speaker 2: wouldn't win the debate. I mean if the only thing
16:23
Speaker 2: we were talking about is a Save America Act over
16:25
Speaker 2: the summer, or if they stayed through August and did
16:28
Speaker 2: this instead of taken Yeah, they do need to go
16:30
Speaker 2: to their states and talk to people. I mean, Johnnystad
16:33
Speaker 2: definitely needs to be around the state of Ohio. But
16:35
Speaker 2: I think one of the things he's going to hear
16:37
Speaker 2: what he's out and about is past the Save America Act.
16:40
Speaker 2: And what better way to show that he's got the
16:43
Speaker 2: message than holding the floor or in the Senate talking
16:46
Speaker 2: about Save America and affordability?
16:49
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, And I just I struggle with that it
16:52
Speaker 1: is not more of a winning reality. Maybe it will
16:54
Speaker 1: be as we move forward to November, because you know
16:56
Speaker 1: the cost of the Democratic Socials of America policies. I
17:00
Speaker 1: saw the Cato inside and I talked about this earlier
17:02
Speaker 1: Cato crunch the numbers and if you give them everything
17:04
Speaker 1: they want, it's going to be seventy one to two
17:05
Speaker 1: hundred and twelve trillion dollars over ten years if they
17:08
Speaker 1: get what they want, and they of course pointed out
17:11
Speaker 1: if you if you take up and hoover up literally
17:13
Speaker 1: every single dollar of all the millionaires and billionaires and
17:16
Speaker 1: all the corporations one hundred percent taxation, it still will
17:20
Speaker 1: not cover but a fraction of the total cost of
17:22
Speaker 1: the Democratic Socials of America policy. So you know, that's
17:25
Speaker 1: something the Republicans take in advance of the argument into November.
17:27
Speaker 1: But this is another one, is it not if the
17:30
Speaker 1: propolling numbers seem to be even remotely close, this Save
17:33
Speaker 1: America Act a photo ID requirement is a winning argument
17:37
Speaker 1: against November that Democrats in November. Isn't that maybe even
17:41
Speaker 1: arguably a good thing going into November that it hasn't
17:44
Speaker 1: been passed?
17:45
Speaker 2: Well, look, I mean it's a common sense versus crazy
17:48
Speaker 2: u s hit it on issue after issue, and you know,
17:51
Speaker 2: thanks to some of these crazy folks crossing all the
17:54
Speaker 2: way into communism, you're seeing common sense versus communism in
17:57
Speaker 2: some states a narrow miss. In Wiscon. I mean, they
18:00
Speaker 2: were about to select the lady that literally wanted to
18:03
Speaker 2: cancel Thanksgiving. I mean, that's one of the most you know, benign.
18:07
Speaker 2: We love America, We're thankful for the blessings we have,
18:11
Speaker 2: holidays we've got. And they held off a really radical
18:15
Speaker 2: lady from winning the Democrat primary there, which masks how
18:18
Speaker 2: radical the guy that won is. But you know, they've
18:21
Speaker 2: they've definitely shifted the Overton window on this when you
18:24
Speaker 2: look at it though, on on affordability here. I mean
18:30
Speaker 2: these kinds of things, you know, when you look at
18:32
Speaker 2: the spending that's going on. You talked about the Democrat
18:35
Speaker 2: wish list costing you know, seventy plus trillion. Well that's
18:39
Speaker 2: a simple masks, seven trillion a year, seventy trillion over
18:42
Speaker 2: ten years.
18:43
Speaker 1: That's the low end.
18:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's double. That's double what we spend now
18:47
Speaker 2: at the federal level. We don't have a balanced budget now,
18:50
Speaker 2: so as you know, like if we went back to
18:53
Speaker 2: the system of taxation that we had before, like the
18:56
Speaker 2: state's got to make up the difference to run the government,
18:58
Speaker 2: and we bounced the budget and you just sent a
18:59
Speaker 2: bill to the states. If Ohio wanted to sustain everything
19:03
Speaker 2: that we get in federal grants, and programs, and all
19:05
Speaker 2: the spending we get from like medicaid matching dollars and everything.
19:09
Speaker 2: We would have to double our state taxes. So you
19:12
Speaker 2: think about every tax that you pay that goes into
19:15
Speaker 2: the Columbus budget, it would be double and that would
19:18
Speaker 2: get us to a balance budget. That's how bad the
19:21
Speaker 2: current hole is. And you know, when you're in a hole,
19:23
Speaker 2: the best thing you do is stop digging. But we
19:26
Speaker 2: keep digging faster. I mean, you're looking at the rate
19:29
Speaker 2: of you know, the deficit, the debt, the interest on
19:34
Speaker 2: the debt, and you know they're rooting for interest rates
19:36
Speaker 2: to go lower. I hope so too, But the market's
19:39
Speaker 2: pricing them higher, right right, And the only reason they
19:41
Speaker 2: would go lower is you've got a central planner at
19:43
Speaker 2: the Federal Reserve that tries to override the math gieks
19:47
Speaker 2: that go out there and say, you know, the default
19:50
Speaker 2: risk is higher, inflation's higher. Those are the basic components
19:54
Speaker 2: of an interest rate, time value of money and default risk.
19:57
Speaker 2: They're both higher. Why wouldn't rates be going higher? When
20:00
Speaker 2: you look in the bond market and the mortgage market,
20:02
Speaker 2: rates are going higher. So I don't see how they're
20:05
Speaker 2: going to pull off saying, Oh, we're going to force
20:07
Speaker 2: rates to go lower and not have open rebellion in
20:10
Speaker 2: the market.
20:12
Speaker 1: Congressman Warren Davidson cold Water, does reality appreciate it? And
20:16
Speaker 1: I hope you have a fantastic week. Look forward to
20:17
