• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Seven six for a Happy Thursday to you. Brian Thomas here,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: host of the fifty five prese Morning Show. Always looking
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: forward to an opportunity to talk with Congressman Warren Davidson,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: and we're going to do it right now. Welcome back,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Congressman Davidson. I truly appreciate you being on the program,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: and as we fast approach the two hundred and fiftieth
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: birthday of America, I want to thank you for your
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: service to our country and everything that you continue to
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: do in your capacity is elected official. Good to have
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: you back on the show.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Hey, thanks Brian, What a great time to celebrate America's
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: birthday and it's always an honor to be able to
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: join you.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you, And you know, I just real
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: quick here, and I know this is compared to everything
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: else going on in the world and all the concerns
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: we have global issues, local issues. This nonsense about the
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool and Donald Trump is really obviously
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: with the help of all kinds of workers, but the
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: DC apparently has been scrubbed clean. Monuments that are have
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: been cleaned up, graffiti, fountains that have not flowed since
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: the Obama administration are now cleaned up and flowing. Everything
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: apparently is looking great. I've seen multiple videos from residents
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: of d C, probably all Democrats, since that's the political makeup,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: all just raving about how wonderful this is. And yet
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: he fixes the reflecting pool. It doesn't say Donald Trump
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: in the paint on the bottom of the pool. There's
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: no connection with Donald Trump. He just has to be president,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: and yet vandals are tearing it up because he's taken
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: the steps to improve what was really a cesspool of water.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Congressman Davidson is it hasn't improved that much. Are people
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: really enjoying it? And what's your reaction to this Trump
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: derangement syndrome that they're dealing with.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I mean start with trumps arrangement syndrome. Normally,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: it would be a no brainer. Everyone go, yeah, it
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: looks beautiful, you cleaned it up, it looks nice. That
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: would be a national normal reaction. But when Donald Trump
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: tries to take credit for doing any of this, Trump
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: de arrangement syndrome kicks in and look I introduced to
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Bill and I would love to see Anish national Institutes
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: of Health do it. It directs them to study Trump
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: de arrangement syndrome as a psychological condition. I mean, people
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: are wrecking their lives. There are people that are i
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: mean divorces over one spouse likes Trump and the other doesn't.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: I know, people that didn't go to their son or
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: daughter's wedding because one of the spouses likes Donald Trump,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: or both do and they don't. I mean, this case,
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: you know, it just blows my mind. And the amount
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: of energy we've spent talking about this reflecting pool, you know,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: versus other substantive stories. It's like, why does this become
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: the shiny object that the media fixates on, right instead of,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: you know, explaining all the other things that we could
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Another one. He's got a mock up at the state
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: fair portion of the displays. Look, you got fifty states.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: They get these booths out there where you can come
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: and highlight your state, and Ohio's got a nice set up.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Multiple states decided not things. We won't promote tourism or
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: our state or anything Donald Trump as president. We won't
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: be celebrating America two fifty on the National Mall. And
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: they sent nothing, I mean absolutely nothing. So there's like
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: empty chairs there to be put in there. In case
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: somebody wants to put a brake and TDS is real.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: I mean people, if anybody else did this, they would go, oh,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: it's a great way to highlight our state, but they
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: won't participate well.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: And it's also part and parcel of this idea that
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: America can't be celebrated. Now, maybe TDS has something to
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: do with that, But this division that is perpetually, you know,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: stirred up and fueled by social media and of course
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: outside influencers like the Chinese Communist Party, it's well documented
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: they feed off this division, they encourage it, and it
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: just it's kind of strange because don't we all collectively
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: have something to be extraordinarily proud of in spite of
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: the country's wards, everything that we have done, and all
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: the improvements and advancements technological and otherwise that we have
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: brought the world. The fact that we have demonstrably been
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: the most successful economically country in the world, We have
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: the right business model. Aren't these things that should be
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: celebrated and mimicked. Just the rejection of all this, I
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: don't get it. And maybe that in and of itself
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: is a form of DSM. Five diagnosable mental illness.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you look objectively, America is the most
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: successful country ever. We've been incredibly benevolent around the world.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: And instead people are like, oh, how dare you turn
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: off free stuff for people in Africa? And which other
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: country was given all this stuff? Yeah? Anybody, you know,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: we've done amazing things around the world. A country to
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: be celebrated, and admittedly not perfect, I mean even in
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: the Constitution to form a more perfect union. You know,
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: we're striving and you know we've done great things. But
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: that is the whole left narrative. It says you couldn't
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: come into America two fifty and celebrate America if you
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: had elected a Democrat, you know, new democrat, socialist surgingdo
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: communist momentum over there, and the left wing, you know,
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: you'd be over there trying to spend America two fifty
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: repenting for every imperfection and perceived or real in America's history.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: And that would be you know, America two fifty. You know,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: feel shame because you're an American.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Nevertheless, everyone in the world wants to be here.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, therein lies the challenge we face with unregulated,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: unchecked open borders and immigration that's the whole world wants
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: to come to this grand and glorious place. And of
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: course it wouldn't be if we kept open borders, which
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: is what the Democrats wants, We'd be so overwhelmed the
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: social welfare safety that would literally collapse, and all people
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: who are currently here would see everything evaporate. There's only
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: so much this country can sustain, and that's why we
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: need a reg related immigration system. But just let me
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: ask real quick, in so far as Trumps arrangement syndrome
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: or Donald Trump generally speaking, do you think that there
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: is and I do believe there is a direct connection
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: between this just absolute hatred, unhinged hatred for the man
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump, and the rise of the Democratic Socialist Now,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: I know this DSA rise has a real it puts,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: it has a real problem for the Democratic Party. They're
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: they're struggling to cope with it. But do you think
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: there's a corollary between the those that won elections in
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: the primaries and for example, the actual election of Zorhan
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Mamdami is mayor in New York City, which puzzles me
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: that that has something to do with TDS.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's a little bit related because you know,
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: for the Democratic Party, the party itself, their whole message
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: was Trump is bad. And you know, for a lot
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: of people, you know, they're looking at it going with okay,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: but what are you for? And they couldn't agree on
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: anything else in terms of what they're for. They just
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: agree Trump is bad. I mean, you know, you think
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: about this. Prior to twenty sixteen, moral relativism was something
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: we talked about, you know, your truth and all this stuff.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: That the whole relativism ideas kind of gone away because
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: they've agreed that there is one thing in the world
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: it's bad, it's Donald Trump. And I think for a
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: lot of people left of center, they said, well, we
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: got to have something other than that. What do we
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: actually want? And the only people that were getting my
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: time that we're crowding the news and frankly not accidentally
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: in terms of the controlled media's attention to them, were
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: the you know communists, you know Mondomies of the world
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: that are out there pushing sun that they had a
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: real grassroots movement and now it's working and there are
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: people that are ready to embrace it because they're giving
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: an answer. I mean, it's a wrong answer, but it's
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: a it's a con game that works. Often they highlight
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: some problems in the world and they say that, you know, look,
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: the reason you're poor is somebody else is rich, right,
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: you know, this guy doesn't pay up taxes and that's
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: why things are bad for you. And you know this
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: this somehow works. It works in a lot of places
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: in the world. The socialism itself never works, but the
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: offer of socialism does, and it produces power for the
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: people selling it. And then when they get in power,
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: well they don't have a tool that will work, and
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: you know, they have to adapt. And that's why China
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: is like, oh, well we have communism with Chinese principles. Well,
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: real communism produced total poverty, right, So then they said, well,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: let's do communism with Chinese principles, which is capitalism with
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: our party in control. But then state sponsored capitalism and
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: that's faltering now too, and so you know, I think
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: in a way that makes China more dangerous because they're
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: not able to sustain what was working.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Right, and neither is New York. I saw mom Domini
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: just beaming with bride to, claiming that his socialist policies
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: resulted in a balanced budget or at least closing the billions.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: The twelve million dollars budget devicit they he inherited. He
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: inherited it from a bunch of Democrats. Pivot over to Illinois.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: The governor there dealing with the same problems. He's got
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: a massive problem with the pension program as well as
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: everything else in terms of economics. Because the Democrats have
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: run Illinois now unchecked for decades. That led to the problems.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: What do they have to do. They have to reach
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: out to somebody else's pocket and steal more money from
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: them in order to try to fix the problems that
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: they created. Those deficits didn't come from some sort of
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: conservative minded, principled government. They came from runaway government spending.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: And you're always going to need more money, right, Margaret
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Thatcher pointed it out long time ago. The problem with
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: socialism you'll eventually run out of other people's money. That
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: seems to be the trajectory we are on. Congressman Davidson,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: is there anything happening in DC now? I understand Tuesday
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: had a little meltdown on the floor and some of
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: the House Conservatives ultimately blockaded the protest over the Save
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: America Act. I want to find out where this Save
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: America Act is and where Congressman Davidson is on the process.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Let's do that next. First, a word for it, and let
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: me before I mentioned Zimmer Heating and air conditioning, which
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: has for a eighty years, we have Congressman Warren Davidson
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: as we head on into the two hundred and fiftieth
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: anniversary of the founding of our country, and proud we
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: should all be. Congressman Davidson. My understanding is on Tuesday
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: there was a procedural vote got blocked by what they're
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: calling the House Conservatives that froze the legislative business for
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: the foreseeable future because of the Save America Act. And
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: I understand that some want to merge the Save America
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Act as a freestanding Act into the National Defense Authorization Act.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: I know that's being discussed over in the Senate. Well,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: can you break this down for my listeners as well
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: as me, because I'm a little confused. And why hasn't
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: it been voted on across the board?
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Well, the House has passed it three times, so you
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: know a lot of people are like, find we can
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: pass it every day if you want, but like it
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: doesn't put pressure on the Senate. They've already succeeded in
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: ignoring it. It's an eighty percent issue. They're ignoring the world,
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: the people. The President's been somewhat clear about his views
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: on the subject. So John Thune seems immune to this.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, maybe the voters in South Dakota can get
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: his attention, I'm not sure, but nothing else seems to
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: be getting their attention there where they're going to take
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: the floor and actually hold the debate and force a
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: vote on Save America. And you know a lot of
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: us are frustrated on that. In a number of other
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: issues where we've worked hard to get stuff done. We
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: have very narrow majorities in the House, frankly, no bigger
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: than theirs in the Senate, but with two hundred and
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: twenty people in the Republican Party here versus fifty three
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: in the Republican Party in the Senate, so it's been tough.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: And so you know where the American people are frustrated.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: I think a lot of my colleagues are at least
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: that frustrated. And so the procedural vote you're talking about
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: the week kind of starts. You have some things that
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: are suspension votes which are two thirds have to agree,
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: and you don't go through a rule for that. Leadership
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: just gets to notice them and put them on the
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: floor for them to pass. Since it takes two thirds
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: the ift to generally be be non controversial. I don't
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: always agree with that verdict, but they usually pass with
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: two thirds votes. And then there's a rule vote, and
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: that says, here's what we're going to vote on this week.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: Here's the you know, the bill topic. Here's how much
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: time we're going to devote to debate on these bills.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: And then here's whether or not we're going to allow
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: amendments to be made in order and which which amendments
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: will be made in order. So it sets the term
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: for the debate. And so that rule has to pass
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: for us to really have an agenda. And that's the
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: procedural vote. Most people are like, well, we voted on this,
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: that or the other thing the rule Most people don't
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: really track, but that's the procedural leverage that in a
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: narrow majority, it tends to be party line Republicans and Democrats.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: Democrats don't even agree with our agenda, of course, they
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: don't want to vote on our agenda. Right. So you
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: have to essentially have you can lose two or three
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: and otherwise you won't be able to pass. We had to.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: I think five or six voted against the rule. Might
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: have been more, but by the end, but five or
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: six were driving the objection, and a lot of it
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: was well, we're not voting on anything until we can
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: make the Senate vote on save America. And I think
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: for a lot of us who are like, well, how
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: is us doing nothing going to put pressure on the Senate?
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: You know, let us we only have so much time
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: on offense. Let us play offense while we can, as
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: my view, and you know, shame on the Senate for
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: not doing it there. So in my view, we should
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: come back, hit the ground running and deal with birthright citizenship.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, I should be on the agenda right away.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: We should bring up a bill, we should talk about it,
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: vote about it, and and do something substantive to address
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: to meet the moment. And instead we are out here
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: talking about appropriations and defense authorization in a way that
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: is going to need every Republican vote, frankly, and we
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: haven't built the consensus, and so you know, those are
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: decisions that are tough in this leadership challenge. But that's
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: the way the debates being framed.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: Well, I suppose I have to ask because the world
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: has seen through the Democrats arguments against SAVE, which is
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: it's racism, it's Jim Crow two. But that's all nonsense.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: It's absolute nonsense, and no one buys into it. Everybody
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: needs a photo ID. It's not that big a deal.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: It's federal law. You got to be a citizen to
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: vote in federal election. So what's the harm. There's no
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: foul here. Are the Democrats willing to die on that
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: hill and nix the National Defense Authorization Act which is
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: described as a must pass defense bill because a lot
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: of them are in favor of defense. If SAVE is
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: incorporated in it, where are they willing to say, notice
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: save because of Jim Crow or something and tank the
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: NDAA as well, or do you think they would swallow
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: and just let them move it forward.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Well that's the question, right, And that's part of the
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: details that really are meaningful, is you could include SAVE
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: as part of the Defense Authorization Act. It really isn't
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: quote germane. It's a different topic. So it is a
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: stretch of the House rules to do that. And so
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: what the leadership put on the floor was something called
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: a MERV. It's an acronym. But they're going to merge
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: two things. So with one rule, they're going to send
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: two bills over. Well, that doesn't combine them. It wouldn't
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: make the Save America Act part of the Defense Authorization Act.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: It would just send Save America over again, since it's
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: already passed with the NDAA. And so for the hardliners
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: that we're pushing this play, well, that doesn't really do anything.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: They're going to continue to ignore the Save America Act.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: So like your concession, mister speaker, is meaningless. So no,
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: and that's that's why the floor shut down.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Well, the only thing I have to observe is a
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: little chuckle here to the idea that while well, the
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: NDAA and SAVED don't really have any connection with each other,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: and how could they be in one bill? Isn't that
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: what Congress does all the time, a mixed bag hodgepodge
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: of all kinds of.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: Totally and yeah, totally, they do it all the time.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: And so uh, one of the frustrations is is, look,
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: I've got to build It's got one hundred and ninety
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: three co sponsors, right, they're all Republicans, and so you
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: can't get it through the sixty vote rule in the
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: Senate as a standalone bill. So I wanted to include
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: that in the NBA. And the reason I wanted it
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: in the NDA is what it undoes something that the
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: Democrats imposed through the NDAA, and our current leadership team
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: wants to unilaterally disarm and say, no, no, our stuff's
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: going to be pure, it's going to be related to defense.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: We'll leave the shanigans to Democrats. We're not going to
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: govern that way. And it's like the British saying, oh,
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: we're going to march out here in this open field,
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: and the Democrats saying we're going to hide behind rocks
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: and trees and eat you up right. And that's what
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: that This is why a lot of us are frustrated,
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: are like, look, we're on offense. Let's freak and play
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: some offense and get some stuff done. Because the sixty
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: vote rule it guarantees, no matter how far left, you
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: can elect communists to the Democratic Party and they'll still
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: be you know, a handful of Republicans trotting out to say, oh,
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: it's bipartisan, and the sixty vote rule in the Senate
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: guarantees that it's going to be bipartisan, so you're going
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: to keep turning left like Nascar, and it's driving us nuts.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: You're like, when can we do this stuff we said
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: we would do? And I think that's the despair that
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: a lot of voters feel. They're like, why aren't we
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: doing the things that we promised to do in Congress? Right?
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, most people who voted for President Trump are
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: generally happy with the policies. They're doing what they can
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: with executive action, at least that which can survive the judges.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Dowars when David said, I certainly appreciate you willingness
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: to talk to us each and every week. I look
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: forward to next Thursday and
