  Speaker 1: Friday Eve, Congressman Warren Davidson one more segment with him,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: gonna be doing an empower you seminar tonight. Get over
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: to empower your America Dot organ register, show up live
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: or watch from your own home. What are the things,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: congressmen you're gonna be talking about tonight and empower you?
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: The one day, one vote proposal and to eliminate no
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: excuse mail in voting. Interesting timing on that, Congressman Davidson.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: It was widely reported yesterday there's a woman in Maine.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: They've got a November fourth election day in Maine as well,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: had delivered to her front door a box containing temper
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: evident packs of fifty ballots totally two hundred and fifty
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: what appear to be authentic ballots, filled out and cast
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: that landed in this one private citizen's front door. And
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: they're suggesting a federal criminal investigation should be launched. There's
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: a huge problem with dropping off stacks of mail in ballots,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: and that's a lot of reason why many people, including Maureen,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: I know you're out there, believe that the twenty twenty
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: election was stolen. How do we address this problem, Congressman
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Davidson considering how much states have control over their own voting.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: I was told that was illegal and so it wouldn't happen,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: you know, just like drugs. You know. So obviously this
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: kind of stuff does go on. And look, we were
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: told illegal aliens do'll vote, But we just found the
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: superintendent of Des Moines Schools is not only in the
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: United States illegally and not only didn't have the academic
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: credentials he said he did, but he was also a
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: registered voter in the state of Maryland and had a
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: voting record. So these kinds of things have gone on.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: We need election integrity and for that reason, the House
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: of Representatives as passed laws that would be binding on
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: federal elections. So you know, we don't necessarily have a
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: system where the federal government could say, well, here's how
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Ohio has to do their state Supreme Court elections, except
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: to say, you know, we protect civil liberties and things
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: like that. But when you look at criteria for federal elections,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: there's a lot that we could do. We've had a
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: hard time getting over the sixty vote threshold in the Senate,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: which is the same struggle we're having, you know, with
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: keeping the government open and yes, we do have a majority,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: but the Senate's still got this sixty vote rules. But
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: for that, we could be passing election reform, we could
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: be keeping the government open, and we could do on
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: a lot of things. Nevertheless, the Senate keeps protecting their
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: sixty vote rule. We keep sending stuff over in the House.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: And this is one of those things that we could do.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: And you know, another one of the things we're going
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: to talk about tonight, Brian, is, Yeah, the two hundred
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: and fiftieth anniversary of the United States of America and
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: just looking at the legacy of our country, and you know,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: there's so many milestones that no other country has been
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: like America. We're still the greatest country in the world.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: And we've not yet made a perfect union, but we've
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: made it more perfect in some respects, and I to say,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: maybe less perfect in a few other ways.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Well, I know, one of the topics tonight's secure borders.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: And obviously it is a profound night and day difference.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: It's like somebody flipped the light switch on between the
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Biden administration's approach of the southern border, which was you know,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: don't touch it, and Donald Trump, which is the media
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: shut it down. I mean, the flow of illegal immigrants
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: into our country has just almost disappeared, at least in
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: the southern border. I know we have some problems in
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: the north, and that's kind of leading to my question,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: where are we in connection with border security? What else
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: needs to be done considering the Trump success in the
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: southern border.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, we need a law so that, you know,
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: no government could actually do what the Biden administration is doing.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: And in my own opinion, I think we need a charges.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: We need doj to actually bring charges. Alejandro Maiorcis, as
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: a Secretary of Homeland Security, was charged with securing the border.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: The laws are already pretty clear, and he actually spun
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: those on the head. He literally built an app at
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Homeland Security to make it easy to you know, bypass
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: our laws and come here illegally. So to me, that's treason.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: I think you should be charged. I think you should
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: go to jail for a long time. And that's one
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: of the problems. You know, people people do rightly say,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: you know, when is somebody going to jail? And you know,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: people are going to keep depriving others of their rights.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: They're going to abuse the power of the office until
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: somebody sell to account for it. And I think there
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: are a lot of those folks that need to be
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: held to account. And I think you know that's where
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: people are saying, oh, Trump is weaponizing the government. Well, no,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: we had a weaponization committee last Congress because the wide
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: administration was weaponizing the government. And so holding those people
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: to account isn't retribution, it's justice. And you know, even
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Google just this past week, you know, they say, yeah,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: here's what we were doing because the government told us
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: to do it, right, we were censoring people. Well, who's
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: going to be held to account for that? And I
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: think that's why you know this hopefully the Tony charges
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: or the tip of the iceberg.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Well, Google may very well be held accountable because by
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: operating at the behest of the American government, that means
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: they're inextricably intertwined with the government, meaning they have to
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: extend First Amendment rights to the people who use their platform,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: and by so restricting the speech, they may have committed
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: a civil rights violation and could be held accountable in
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: a lawsuit. So Google might pay the price for their
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: frank admission that they did just that.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and look they say, oh, we're a neutral platform. Well,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: you're not a neutral platform when you engage in editorial content.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: You're acting as a publisher and you're deciding, you know
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: these things and you did it really have to be
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: hest to the government, So I think, look you, in
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: my view, I would work a plea deal with Google
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: to out the federal officials who were violating the constitution.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: And you know, these people should go to jail.
