  Speaker 1: So No six here, bitty five krcdcalk Dation, are very
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: happy Friday.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: You extra special day to day.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: The return of Congressman more and Davidson. Great timing on
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: that one, considering the ice shooting of Minneapolis the other day.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Congressman Davids and welcome back to the fifty five Casey
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: morn showing a very happy new year to you, sir.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Happy new year, Brian. Always an honor to join you.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: So I honored to have you on. And I was
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: lamenting that they're we're expecting massive protests today. Of course,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: immediately the placards from all the different various anti American
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: organizations joined together and they're going out there calling this
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: this ice action shooting, the woman who tried to run
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: over the ice agent, whether automobile murder. I was lamenting that,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: you know, this is not the first time this immediate,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: well organized response has come out. We've been watching this
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: unfold now for years. Where is the conservative corollary to that?
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: The answer apparently to the question, which was which a
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: lot of people chimed in on over the break, the
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: conservatives are all work, They have jobs, they don't have
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: time to run out in the street. And protest. But
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: putting aside any levity associated with that, where are we
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: on this one? I think the correct answer to the
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: question is, don't interfere with federal law enforcement operations and
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: try to run over an officer with your car and
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: you won't run the risk of getting shot. Congressman Davidson,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: your take on this whole thing.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Well, look, you know, to your point about where you know,
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: the rentom mob kind of program, how do you get
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: all this turnout to create the riots and protests. Well,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: one of the easiest ways is you just cancel school.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: So that's what Minneapolis has done. They canceled school so
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: all the teachers can go out and organize, you know,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: their regular job, which is agitating the public and continuing
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: the Marxist revolution. They just do it outside the classroom
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: for a few days here this week, and then if
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: you've got older students, they can also participate and you know,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: get their street cred in the little revolution. So, you know,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: this is the kind of stuff that's going on in Minneapolis,
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: and for them, it's essentially a religious war. I mean,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: you know, conservatives have crossed the heresy code line, which is,
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: you know, don't disrupt the invasion, and so they're doing
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: this righteous protection of the Somali pirates. They're plundering Minnesota
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: and frankly the taxpayer wealth around the country. And they're
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: doing it because you know, well, you know, you want
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: to help these people. Well okay, well a little fraud
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: is going to happen, but you know, you've got to
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: do the right thing. And there are people that bought
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: into this book line and sinker and and ice is evil.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: They're like Nazi stormtroopers. And that's how you've agitated people
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: like this crazy lady that was all day driving her car,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: getting between ICE agents and blocking people. And you know,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: the normal the normal law enforcement program goes, you know, ask, tell,
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: make you know you man, please, could you please get
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: out of the car? Get out of the car. Then
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: you see the ICE agent going and they're going to
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: make her get out of the car, so she you know,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: punishes it to go move. Now, the car was on ice,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: so it slipped a little bit or it would have
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: gone to the left and fast right over the agent.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: It started that way anyway, and that's when he draws
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: the fires. And so to me, when I look at
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: that video, I think, okay, is there possibility he could
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: have done something else. Yeah, but that's not the obligation.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: The obligation is he feared for his life and the
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: safety of others, and he took action. And you know,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: lesson learned. Just as you said, hey, listen to the
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: law enforcement even when they're wrong. You know, eventually, just
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: count on winning. But don't do something escalatory that is
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: going to be seen as a threat or you're gonna
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: get hurt. And if you do something that's viewed as
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: a lethal threat, there's a good chance you're going to die.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: And instead of saying that, Governor Waltz and the mayor
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: of Minneapolis is out escalating the situation, instead of saying, look,
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: take note, I don't want anyone to get hurt, So
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: to take note, we're working with the federal government to
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: make sure we're doing this stuff better or whatever. But
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: that's exactly it. They're not working with the federal government.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: They've tried to completely lock the federal government out of
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: their sanctuary city and their sanctuary state, even in the
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: wake of massive fraud and scandal.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, and this is a clear, clear parallel to
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: the defund the police movie he had the George Floyd Shiitting.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Then if people took to the street, police are illegitimate.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: They are a racist organization. When you do everything we
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: can to stop policing neighborhoods and in crime ensues, we've
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: seen the aftermath of that. Hell, we can't even get
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: lateral hires in the city of Cincinnati. Thirty open spots
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: for a job with a pension and working with one
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: of the greater law enforcement agencies here in the country.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Seven people showed up to take up on the opportunity
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: to join the law enforcement. See, we've demonized police so
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: much that people don't even want to do the job anymore.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: They're doing the same thing with Ice. Ice is out
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: trying to enforce the law. They're trying to pick up
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: and round up the worst of the worst of the
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: illegal immigrants here. They have the lawful right to do it. Here,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: you go interfere with police doing their duty, and something
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: bad is going to happen. I think this is what
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: they were waiting for. All these leftist organizations couldn't wait
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: for this to happen. This poor woman is dead because
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: she did something that she was encouraged to do by
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: elected officials and all these other organizations. They've got their martyr.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Now it's time to go to the streets.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and look it's there's there's not a coincidence that
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: the Summer of Love started in Minneapolis, right. I mean,
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: this is ground zero for the neo Marxist ajut agitation
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: that that they're doing in the country. So they're not
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: going to miss the moment. They've got essentially field trips
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: to the streets for the students there because that's what
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: they've done, and they did the March Long March through
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: the institutions. One of the first things they seized was education,
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: and now they're doing, you know this to make sure
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: that the students don't draw the wrong conclusion. You know
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: that that you know, hey, don't break our laws and
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: invade our country by coming here illegally, and then don't
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: stop the people that are just enforcing the laws of
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: the country. We wouldn't want them to learn those things.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: We want them to learn that you got to join
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: the cause and fight demand and you know, continue this
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: you know, anti anti law and order regime that they're doing.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: So I hope the country takes a note because the
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: reality is this is the vanguard for what democrats want
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: to do all around the country. And it's the same
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: kind of thing like it spread in twenty twenty. They
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: wanted to spread. Look at the progress that was made
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: in Cincinnati, and it's still not recovered to where it
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: was in twenty twenty. So they want to do this
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: all over the country, cities around the country. And it
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: is the agenda for the people leading the Democrat Party.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying every Democrat believes these things, but that's
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: where the direction of the leadership for the Democrat Party is.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: And it is as Sarah Huckabee Sanders said, so, well,
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: well normal versus crazy, and you see crazy every day,
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: especially in Minneapolis.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Well, and then the other underlying point of all this,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: or the argument that's made by those defending this fraud,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: waste and abuse going on in Minneapolis, is that if
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: you bring it to anybody's attention, or you go after
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: and you enforce the law and you prosecute people for
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: violating the law, somehow, that's an active racism, which is
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: the most comical, stupid argument I think I've ever heard.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: In making that argument, you're saying you're just going after
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: the black and brown community of the Somalis and you're
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: targeting them because you're racist. Now for you to protect,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: to try to defend and protect the fraud, the criminal
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: activity by claiming it's racist to go after it is
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: in and of itself an active racism, which means you're
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: going to treat that community differently from other law breakers.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: We're giving them a past because they're members of the
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: black and brown Somali community. That's nonsensical and in and
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: of itself racist.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Your take, Yeah, I mean that's right. But look how
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: long that worked, right, I mean, this is the same
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: playbook they effectively rolled out on pat You can and right,
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: oh he's a racist, And there was a well, I
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: don't know if you're a racist. I mean I'm not
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: a racist guy. So you've you've had you know, conservative
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: couckery here where you've not fought back or raised anything forever. Right,
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: It's like, look, it's not race, it's we don't get
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: mad at them because they're black or brown or from
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: this community. That it's because they're stealing after the people
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: that are stealing, or when you look at the crime,
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: the law and order, you know, you look at in Washington,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: d C. Two percent of the population was accounting for
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: ninety percent of the crime. So when you target that
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: two percent, it's not racist. It's the two percent that's
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: causing the crime.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Right, right, that's the bottom line, Just not Caucussan Davids
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: And we got so much more to talk about. Got
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: to take a break though, let me just go straightforward
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: in the conversation. But it is time for a quick
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: couple of words. Here seven fifteen fifty five Karcity Talk Stations,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: we're going to talk about whether there's going to be
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: another governation sevent nineteen Fiftybouck Karcite Talxictionan, Brian Thomas A
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Congressman Warren Davidson moving over. That's right. We did have
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: a government shutdown over these subsidies that were brought and
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: put in place for Obamacare because of COVID nineteen. COVID
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: nineteen's left us, thankfully, that's a good thing. The Democrats
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: put in place an end date for those supplements. That
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: date's come and gone. They have disappeared, and that resulted
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: in the government shutdown last fall. They were fighting like
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: hell to keep them in place, even though the justification
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: for them no longer existed. Are we going to have
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: another government shutdown? Since that situation has not been resolved yet,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: or are we going to come up with some probably
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: ridiculous compromise. Congressman Davidson.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Democrats really want another shutdown. They feel like it worked,
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: and on balance, when you look at the Democrat base,
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: Democrats have declined with their base. Uh. And part of
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: the reason they declined is they agreed to reopen the government. Right,
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: So they were they were getting phrase from their base
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: when they had the government shut down. They were you know,
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: fighting you know, the evil Empire. Uh. And they were,
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: you know, great righteous warriors in this holy war they're
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: trying to wage. Uh. And then when they reopened the government,
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: they took blowback, you know, after six weeks of shutdown.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: So now they're like, well, let's let's get back and
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: engage the base again and shut down the government again. So,
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: you know, that's what that's what Schumer's take, And from
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: talk to some colleagues, they're like, yeah, you know, I
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: don't really see where everybody's coming from, but that's kind
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: of where some of our base is. And uh, you know,
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: so they're probably going to try to do that. Uh.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: The challenge has been that Republicans continue to try to
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: have a way to accommodate that. And just last night,
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: you know, we had nine Republicans joined Democrats. They signed
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: a discharge petition that takes the power away from the
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: majority party. The Speaker didn't want to put this on
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: the floor, but some of our colleaguesjoined with all Democrats
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: to say, let's do three year continuation of the status quo.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: And what is the status quo. It's sending more cash
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: to the insurance companies, and it's to give subsidies to
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: people that are at the very high end of the market.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: A member of Congress who has no other income or
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: assets than the base pay from Congress, which is reasonably generous,
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: would qualify for subsidies for a family of flour. I mean,
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: that's crazy. You're looking at five thousand dollars going to
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: health insurance companies. And the fraud on this program has
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: been insane because all you have to do is sign
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: somebody up for it, and the money is getting sent
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: in their behalf to the insurance companies. So there are
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: people that are that are quote getting this benefit that
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: don't even know that the benefit exists, but the checks
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: are getting cut. There are no controls on a lot
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: of these programs, and that's what Doge was identifying, and
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: instead of going after the fact that hey, even if
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: it was working, which it isn't, it's rife with corruption,
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: and they're like, yeah, but let's keep doing it while
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: we fix it. And I mean, that's one of the
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: biggest things I miss about manufacturing. Even if you don't
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: know everything that's wrong, once you know you're making bad parts,
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: you at least stop making bad parts.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: It's a good parallel well, and the subs you just
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: mask the failure that is Obamacare. That's the real devil
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: in the details here. You know, the premiums keep going
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: up with Obamacare because of the claims exposure. If you
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: don't have premium dollars coming in, there is no nothing
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: to cover the losses that are being shelled out.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: So like, why is my.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Premium going up? Well, is because it's just so damn
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: expensive to ensure everybody out there, You've got to pay
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: more to get to get the benefits. By giving a subsidy,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: you're masking the reality of the failure of the program,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: and so you just keep going down with the same program,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: not fixing. What you just pointed out is the overall problem,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: which is the program itself.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and look, this is the mastery, right, This, this
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: subsidy that they're fighting about, isn't even everything with Obamacare.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: So if you're like a normal Obamacare person, you say,
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: you make forty fifty thousand dollars a year, you know,
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: you've got a you know, a family plan, and you're
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: you know, getting by. This is a program where you know,
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: let's say you work at a restaurant, you don't have
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: health insurance, or you're a real real estate agent or something,
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: you don't have health insurance. You're sort of independent. That's
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: what Obamacare was designed to do. And they're not affected
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: by this program. This is the other portion of Obamacare, right.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: So it's like the really successful real estate agent that's
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: making one hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year, but
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: they're getting even more subsidies for it. Yeah, and a
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: thing that you put subsidies on, every single thing that
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: we're subsidizing the rate of inflation is higher than if
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: you didn't subsidize it. So for the broader market, the
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: broader market, everybody in regular insurance, insurance is getting even
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: more expensive. Healthcare is getting more expensive for everyone, including
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: the people that are paying cash. You know, it's the
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: same for education, right, all of tuition is getting more
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: expensive because you're dumping more and more federal subsidies into it.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: So it's inflating the market. So more government equals worse
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: for everybody else in virtually every program.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Well, in the interest of times, since we're almost out
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: of it, briefly, the Biological Intellectual Property Protection Act, what's
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: just real? Briefly explaining that to my listeners, Congress Mo
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Warren Davidson.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: Well, it's a band on China, right, So look, if
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: you look at DNA, RNA, m RNA, all this kind
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: of stuff that's going on, China is basically buying up
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: data on Americans, indexing stuff. So if you want to
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: do therapeutic drugs, you know, you might want to look
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: at this kind of data and you would design it
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: in labs. If you wanted to engineer viruses, on the
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: other hand, and build bioweapons, you know, things that are
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: really bad bioweapons, you could also use this kind of data.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: And so we're saying, you know, maybe just don't do
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: this in China, like particularly in Wuhan, for example, don't
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: don't send this biologic data out of the United States,
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: and so now you know it's basically treating it like
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: subject to our review on export controls for sensitive technology,
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: especially Americans. Biologic data is now going to be viewed
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: as sensitive information that doesn't get exported without a proper review.
