Congressman Warren Davidson joins Brian Thomas this morning · Brian Thomas

  Speaker 1: 7-0-5. 55KRCG Talk Station. Brian Thomas, wishing everybody a very happy,
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: as I say, Friday Eve. Call Thursday if you want.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: I just love Fridays so much. I just like to
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: get the feeling in my head that it's Friday already.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: But it's not. But it is time for the return
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: of Congressman Warren Davidson. Welcome back, sir. It is always
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: a pleasure to have you on the 55KRCG Morning Show.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: I always look forward to it, Brian. Thank you.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Glad you do. And remind my friends, it's Davidson4Congress. com. I apologize. Honestly,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Congressman Davidson, of all the races out in the world
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: that we've got to be concerned about, I'm not as
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: concerned about yours, but that's not to suggest that anyone
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: should just take it as an automatic win. Congressman Davidson,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: wildly popular in your district, but with the changes in districts,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: I know some people lament the fact that you're no
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: longer their representative, but it's really, truly still important to
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: get out and vote, including for Congressman Davidson. How's the
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: campaign going, Congressman?
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I like the way you're thinking and talking, Brian.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: You know, the eight districts moved. I mean, the boundaries
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: keep shifting. And probably the biggest change is, you know, historically,
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: the anchor was Butler County in a big county. We
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: had all of it. Now we have part of Butler
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: County and we have part of Hamilton County. And there
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: are more people in Hamilton County in the 8th District
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: now under the new map than in Butler County. So
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: that's a big shift. And obviously, the demographics are a
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: little different there. And even in the current map, we're
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: on the west side, everything that isn't the city or
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Delhi township is part of the 8th District. But in
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: the new map, that shifts pretty far east. So we
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: lose a lot of the, like Harrison and all that,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: which is pretty red. And we move over into, you know,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: places that aren't quite as, the kind of margin Republicans love.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: And that's part of why Hamilton's shifting more blue. We're
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: losing some critical races. So hopefully people will get out
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: there and check out Hamilton County judges and Make sure
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: we keep justice. I mean, that's like the basis of civilization, right?
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: We're losing ground there.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Thank you very much for mentioning the judges. It was
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: on my short list to say out loud, so you
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: covered that. GOPjudges.com, please vote pink ticket, even if you're
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: a Democrat, if you're interested in making sure that crime
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: is down in Hamilton County. Generally, we've got far too
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: woke judges on the bench, and they are not dealing
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: with juveniles, most notably Judge Blum, and the juvenile court
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: needs to be removed in favor of Lucan. That's my
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: take on it anyway, but most people aren't paying attention
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: to that, so just a reminder. Real quick, Congressman Davidson,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: before we get the Railroad Responsibility Act, given that incident
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: that happened in Laughlin the other day, which you can
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: tell my listeners about, the idea that Trump is going
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: to pay people to, well, fraud, waste, and abuse, the
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: whistleblower program, $ 25 million apparently he's going to give people
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: $ 30, 000 if they're aware of taxpayer dollars being stolen from
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: the taxpayers put to nefarious purposes. I don't find a
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: problem with it. I guess some people, you know, the
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: whole ratting out your fellow citizen might come to mind like, oh, great,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: we're going to turn citizens against citizens. But isn't it
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: the moral right ethical thing to do that when you
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: know there's crime being committed against the American taxpayer, that
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: people are ripping people off for their own personal benefit?
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: I would think you have an ethical obligation to bring
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: it to the authority's attention anyway. But we pay people
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: to do things all the time. We pay children not
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: to commit crime in certain areas. We pay kids to
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: go to school. So we're willing to reward people for
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: doing something they should anyway. This seems to be rewarding
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: people for doing something they should anyway. Do you have
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: any fault with my analysis on that? And what is
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: your position on this whistleblower program, Congressman?
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it's a voluntary program. The whistleblower program
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: already exists where people say, hey, something isn't right here.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: But you're not necessarily compensated. There are some programs where
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: people are compensated at even higher rates, but it doesn't
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: apply across the board. So President Trump said, hey, we
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: want it to be everything, fraud, waste, and abuse, and
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: we'll give you a percentage of what we recover up
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: to $ 30, 000. So there are some where that'll be a
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: fraction of the amount of fraud that's uncovered. I think
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Nick Shirley's there. Look at all the stuff that he
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: highlighted by going to Minnesota. And you look at... You
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: look at all of the alleged journalists out there in
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: the controlled media. How's this young guy, Nick Shirley, upstage
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: the whole industry? Just by looking at the information Doge
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: made public.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it really is amazing, isn't it? We had an
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: earlier conversation about the lack of media reporting and all
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: the violence that goes on around downtown Cincinnati every single day. So, yes.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: All right. Moving over, Laughlin fire crews were responding to
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: a house fire recently. It was over the weekend, I guess,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: and they couldn't make it to the house. It took
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: them a lot longer than they would hope because there
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: was a train blocking the railroad crossing. I know you
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: had the Railroad Responsibility Act you introduced back in 2024,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: and the Ohio Supreme Court ultimately ruled that federal law
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: preempted Ohio's restrictions, so we're looking for a change of law.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: What are we after here, Congressman Davidson?
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, Ohio and I think 18 states total
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: have have passed laws trying to regulate stoppages and blockages
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: and things like that to prevent exactly what happened tragically
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: there in Laughlin. You know, hey, it's not that trains
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: can't block any road, but they have certain critical roads
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: you either need to keep driving on through or create
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: a break in the train so that people can get past.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: And they're blocked because federal law basically preempts it and says, no,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: The railroads, they basically view there's one way to run
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: a railroad, and that's however the railroads want to do it.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: They were there before the roads, so let the railroads
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: do whatever they want. There is no real pressure to
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: do anything collaboratively with communities because the federal law gives
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: all the power to railroads. So even when they come
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: out and talk to communities, sometimes they're not even real
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: polite about it. They could do this without a law,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: but the law is– The law is necessary. The railroads
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: aren't going to change course without it. And if we
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: get it at the federal level, then Ohio's law would
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: take effect. I mean, Ohio wants to have efficient railroads too,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: but they also want to deal with public safety. And
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: that's what my bill would do. We haven't been able
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: to get traction because the chairman of the committee completely disagrees.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: He's like, no, these railroads need to run this way.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: And my point has been, You have hours limitations on
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: truck driving, too. So if you hit maximum hours of service,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: you don't just park the truck on the middle of
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: the interstate. You have to find a rest area. You
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: have to pull it off the road. And I think
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: you need to do the equivalent for some of our
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: core intersections. And we deal with it from the most
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: urban portions of the district to the most rural. I mean,
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: up in Dark and Preble County, they're dealing with the
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: same challenges. Well, I guess.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Why would federal law preempt state laws on this? Is
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: this a whole Commerce Clause argument that the federal government
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: has to regulate commerce and industry among the various states?
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Or is it, I would argue, maybe one of the
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Tenth Amendment things, an issue reserved to the states. States
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: are better positioned to regulate the railroad crossings than some
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: federal entity out there in the world that's putting a
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: one-size-fits-all Band-Aid on it.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, that was the logic with it. And
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: he goes back, you know, the railroad was a massively
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: a federal project to get a transcontinental railroad. So there's
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: a lot of collaboration, kind of like the interstate highway system.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: And so you have federal laws that apply to it.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: And you want one way to run a railroad all
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: over the country has been the argument. And so far,
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: that's held as I try to present this and say, yeah,
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: we want a railroad that works fine, too. But in Ohio,
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: we want to be able to say, hey, you You've
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: got to work with your communities more collaboratively, and they're
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: just not doing that. And, you know, it's just tragic
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: when you hear the Laughlin Fire Department say, we could
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: have been there in under a minute. We had to
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: go way around. The neighboring fire department, I think Redding,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: was there first. But unfortunately, too late. I mean, it's
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: just amazing how much our different response time makes for
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: a fire. I mean, you know, horrific situation. This senior
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: citizen was found burned in her own home.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: So a change in federal law allowing the states to
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: have some flexibility and leeway in this or maybe be
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: able to present a locally inspired option to the federal
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: government for approval, would that solve the problem, Congressman Davidson?
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, the bill I've got just gives control to
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: the states for public safety. So you could regulate the
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: railroads for public safety and it works. kind of carves
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: out that federal caveat and would let state law take
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: effect if there was a state law, which, you know,
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: in Ohio there has been. And unfortunately, we just can't
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: get past the federal courts because of the way the
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: law is being applied. And, you know, we're trying to
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: get support. So working with Vice President Vance's team, he's
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: been sympathetic to doing some overhaul of the railroad. So
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: I guess we're going to take a look at it
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: and we'll see where we go.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Not as sexy a topic, Congressman Davidson, considering everything that's
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: going on in the world right now as we fast
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: approach November, but a very worthy topic for discussion and
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: a good exercise in discussions of federalism. Congressman Davidson, don't
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: go away because I understand Ohio is going to be
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: getting some money from the Rural Health Transformation Program. We'll
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: find out about it. It's 718 at 55 KRC, the
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: talk station. thursday congressman warren davidson every thursday beginning at
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: 705 he's on the phone talking about some of the
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: issues going on here in the state of ohio including
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: 92 million dollars coming our way from something called the
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: rural health transformation program what's the genesis of this and
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: what's what's that 92 million dollars going to go for
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: congressman davidson.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah good catch uh out there in the news not
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: necessarily the biggest headline but it'll be a big deal
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: for our rural communities If you look at the big,
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: beautiful bill last year, the reason they call it big
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: is it was a compilation of a number of other bills.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: One of the things that we did, we saved $ 1. 7
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: trillion on all kinds of spending reductions. Part of it
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: was making sure Medicaid goes to people that need Medicaid.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: not to healthy, able-bodied adults. So we implemented work requirements
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: and not to illegal aliens. So we did that. And
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: Democrats say, oh, people are losing health care. Well, one
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: of the areas that got more health care was rural communities.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: So there's a big fund. Some of that money is
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: coming to Ohio, like 22 counties and places like Preble
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: and Dark County. You don't even have a pediatrician in
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: the county. So if you look at delivering babies, things
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: like that, it'd be great to You'll be able to
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: do that at least within your own county, more locally.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: And so you're going to get more resources there into
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: our most rural communities around the state. I think it's
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: a big deal.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: I'm glad the rural communities are getting some love, which
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: they rarely ever do. I mean, often overlooked because, of course,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: there's not a high concentration of population in rural communities.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: So why bother with them, I think, is the general
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: attitude for most politicians.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think that's the challenge for a
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: lot of the business model is it's like, well, we
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: just don't have enough critical mass to do certain things.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: But it creates a big burden, you know, particularly on seniors.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: How do you get to these things? And then the
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: answer is, oh, we need more public transportation. We don't
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: have the population density to do that real well in
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: rural communities either. So, you know, if you look at
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: the availability of these kinds of cares, it's something that
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: is needed around the country. And it'll make a big
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: deal in part of our district, you know, Initially, all
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: of this is going to be there, but we have
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: two pretty rural counties, and both will benefit from this program.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm listening to your words, and I'm contemplating, because
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: I think you made a reference to SNAP, and they
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: keep finding more and more fraud. I know the advance
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: announced just yesterday that $ 42 million in alleged and proven assistance,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: additional fraud found, and all the illustrations underneath this fraud,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: you know, $ 45, $ 42 million, whatever. It doesn't sound like
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: a whole lot, but So far, they verified $ 641 million
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: of fraud, waste, and abuse just in the SNAP program,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: which made me think about the work requirement. How is
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: it that we as a society and the government decided
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: that able-bodied people, no disabilities of working age, are even
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: eligible for something? They don't bother to get up, lift
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: a finger to find employment or otherwise engage in the system.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, I find nothing wrong at all with the
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: work requirement and education requirement. That seems to be a
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: plan and a system designed to help people help themselves.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: By denying you benefits for free without any effort, your
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: effort may result in yourself being free to the umbilical
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: cord of government. Look, a trade job. Work a little bit,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: get a job in the trades, which are in abundance
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: out there, and you have freed yourself, and you can
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: go on and then learn how to complain about taxation.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Congressman Davidson.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, work requirements aren't generally partisan in our district,
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: but they're partisan when you call the votes. They didn't
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: used to be partisan. I mean, Bill Clinton cut this
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: deal with Newt Gingrich back in the 90s, and it
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: reformed welfare. And you think about the whole concept. I mean,
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: you get unemployment for able-bodied people because they were working,
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: they lost their jobs. People say, well, that's not big
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: enough to cover everything. Well, okay, they expanded it. But
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: for a time, just look at it like in your
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: own household, your own family, your own good friends. I mean,
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: you'd help a friend or family member in need out,
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: but not forever. And when you know they could help themselves,
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: you're going to be like, you're going to get a job, right?
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: Or you're going to go to school or at least
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: do something useful to help somebody. And that's the same
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: thing you would do for friends and family. It shouldn't
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: be considered mean for the government to do the same thing.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: And that's what it was. It was a huge partisan fight.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, we tried doing this when Paul Ryan was speaker.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: It passed the House by four votes.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: We had a.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: 24 seat, 24 Republican majority. And we lost 20 Republicans
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: on this. Couldn't get it through the Senate. And so
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: this was a big lift to get it done through
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: the big, beautiful bill. And mind blowing to me how
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: like this could even be like, oh, it's so unfair.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: And you're like, no, we created it to help people
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: that are truly in need. not somebody who could do something.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Exactly. Somebody who could do something shouldn't be eligible, period,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: end of story. They're not necessarily in need. It's just
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: for want of a little effort on their part that
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: they're not out working in the field or working to
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: some degree.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: And all these opportunities that exist, the programs that exist
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: to help people out of and away from a reliance
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: on government, they're everywhere. I just... It bothers me that
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: the Democrats want to enable sloth and lethargy. They're the
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: party of enabling people to just do whatever they want.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: You want to be a naval contemplator, that's fine. Here,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: this is basically like just money to just live. It's
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: like guaranteed income. You're guaranteed food under the SNAP program
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: even if you don't lift a finger. We are here
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: in society at this point in time in America. I
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: just find hard to believe, but that's how government grows
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: and grows and grows and never gets any smaller. And
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: this has now become a purely partisan thing. Congressman Davidson, work, effort, wow.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it's the same playbook. Everyone on the
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: political left, they want more government and less freedom. And
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: we're hoping to make sure that all the people on
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: the right want more freedom and less government. We're working
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: on our own party, but hey, let's make sure we
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: hold the ground we've gained. I mean, look at France.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, they get massive amounts of free stuff. 35-hour
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: work week, and people are rioting and protesting in the
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: streets because they say they need more free stuff. They're
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: hooked on it. Well, you can't outbid the radical left
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: on more free stuff for more people because they will
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: always want another level of free stuff. And why do
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: they do this? It's not because the free stuff actually
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: fixes society or addresses the problem. It's because it delivers
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: power to the people that promise the free stuff. So
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: it's become a tactic. And I think we're bankrupt in
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: our country financially and morally with this. And I hope
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: we take note of the results and change.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Course And get in and vote this November or before November.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: Polls are open. Please do not vote for the Democrat
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Socialists of America, which is literally any Democrat that's running.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: That's the direction they're going. Free stuff and things for
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: no work while we dig ourselves deeper and deeper in
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: a $ 40- plus trillion hole that does require debt service every year.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Congressman Norton Davidson, thank you so much for your time
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: this morning, as every morning. I wish you the best
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: of luck as we fast approach the November election. And,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: of course, vote for Congressman Davidson when you go into
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: the polls. Congressman Davidson, thanks again.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: Hey, thanks, Brian. God bless you and all your listeners.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: And you, sir. Stick around. Signal 99 on the Hinton trial.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: And the announcement about former Fire Chief Washington, Cheryl Long,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: I think is probably sweating bullets right now. We'll talk
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: with Signal 99 coming up next. It's going to be great.
