  Speaker 1: Radio powered by fifty five KRC dot Com eight oh five,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: the fifty five kr CD talk station. Friday, even a
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: happy one to you and always extra special day when
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Congressman Warren Davidson joins the fifty five KRSEE Morning Show,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: and a great day to do it, considering the well,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: a little bit of I won't gonna call it a
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: hissy fit. Donald Trump's going to be a bit angry
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: yesterday for a variety of reasons. Welcome back to the program,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Congressman Davidson. It's a distinct pleasure to have you on
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: the show.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Always an honor to join you. Thanks Brian.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Well, let us start, if you don't mind the Donald
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Trump's refusal to sign this twenty first century Road to
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Housing Act, which overwhelmingly passed thirty three hundred and fifty
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: eight to thirty two. He was supposed to have a
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: signing ceremony and he canceled it sort of at the
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: last minute and said this is canceled until such time
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: as in other words, I'm not going to sign this
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: until such time as we pass the desperately needed Save
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: America Act, which is the It includes the provision for
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: voter ID and citizenship verification we all know about to
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: save at least my listening audience. Does I think most
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: of my listening audience it's probably a good idea, but
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: a bit of a hurdle here to overcome. They don't
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: have enough votes in the Senate to pass it. So
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: I does Donald Trump think it's important to advance this
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: just for a symbolic vote that's going to fail, as
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: he expecting the Senate to get rid of the filibuster.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: I guess I'm kind of wondering what your perception is
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: and whether or not this is a good idea, because
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: some Republicans are a little upset with him, saying that
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: he handed the Democrats a win by not just going
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: ahead and signing this bipartisan peace of legislation. Your reaction,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Congressman Davidson, Well.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: I'd like to think that the reasoning was he read
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: my op ed explaining why even though I'm a former
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: chairman of Housing and Insurance and there are some good
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: wins in it and it's timely to talk about housing affordability,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: this was a bad bill and I couldn't vote for it.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: I voted no as one of the thirty two people
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: that voted no, and that was disappointing. But I don't
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: think it's because he read my op ed, but he
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: did rightly call it out. You know, the Pocahontas Housing Act,
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: and it has been Elizabeth Warren's top priority, or at
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: least some of the provisions in it. We get some
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: really important lens to me, it came at a great cost.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: And he's like, look, that's not what people are talking about.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: You guys are over here pushing Elizabeth Warren's priorities. Where
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: are you going to push my priorities in the priorities
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: of the country, which is protecting election integrity. The Same
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: America Act is overwhelmingly popular. I mean, people in Ohio
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: across the political spectrum have found a way to get
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: id and registered to vote. Not a big issue in
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: our state. There are fourteen states that don't have it,
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: and I think the other one that's a big deal.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: And we've had a federal judge basically say you can't
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: check a federal database to determine whether someone's a citizen
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: or not. Like they're basically like, oh, you've got to
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: have a trial to determine whether somebody's a citizen or not. First,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: you have to have a trial to remove them. Now
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: to even know whether they're a citizen or not, apparently
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: you have to have a separate trial. I don't know
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: how you suminum or whatever, but these judges are insane
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: and so but this is what it does. It compares
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: in a federal database the people that are registered to
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: vote to the people that are citizens are the country.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: And the reason that's important is, Look, you g have
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: motor voter laws all over the country and you're not
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: supposed to register to vote if you're not a citizen,
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: but there's no real check for it. In Ohio, our
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Secretary of State's office does it. And what they're trying
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: to do is podify those things into our constitution. So
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: it's not just a practice because we have a good
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: secretary of State, but it is the constitution in Ohio,
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: and I think that's a rational thing to do for
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: the state of Ohio. We're not even trying to amend
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: the constitution. We are at least trying to get it
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: a law so that states like California and Illinois, New York,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: New Jersey, et cetera. Are doing these honest election practices
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: and we can't even get a vote. And that's that's
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: the President's frustration, I think is we've got a fifty
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: three seat, a fifty three to forty seven majority in
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: the Senate, and yeah, you've got rules, but at some point,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: you know, the leader of the Senate's job is to
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: lead find a way to get me a vote. Now
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: he wants to guarantee it passes. I'm just at a
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: point where someone know, everybody is put it on the
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: floor and vote.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's important. You know, it's always crazy when
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: you got the Mitch McConnell's of the world coming out
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: against something like this for reasons completely unknown, but at
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: least the Democratic opposition makes no sense whatsoever. They're arguing
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: that this is somehow going to disenfranchise American citizens from voting.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: This is the whole Jim Crow two kind of argument
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: they're making. Congressman Davidson, in opposition to something that the
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: American people want.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Chuck Schumer says that it'll cause twenty five million people
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: to be unable to vote. I go, well, that's exactly
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: what we're going after. But I thought twenty five millions
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: a little high. I didn't think that many non citizens
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: were registered to vote, right. We figured some twenty five million.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, everybody else is going to be able to
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: find a way to get your register. And the other
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: thing is, no one is going to be unregistered to
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: vote unless you're not a citizen. So oh well, but
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: you're you know, you got married. Well, if you're registered
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: to vote today, you're not going to be unregistered because
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: the Save of America Act pass. But when you do
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: go to register, just like it's always been in Ohio,
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: you show ID, and you know, if you've changed your
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: name or something like that, the idea you hand over
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: has got to match the name you go by. It's
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: in law. Like you know, if people can call you,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: you know, Bud or Gus or you know, Jim, Bob
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: or whatever, but if your real name is William, then
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: then you can't. You know, You've got to have an idea,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: that idea that matches it. In the same for maiden
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: name versus married names. Some people change it, some people
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: hyphenate it, whatever, But like, show who you are, and
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: that's the way it is for everything else. It is
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: so this is this is not an insane burden to
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: be able to do. It is already the practice in
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Ohio and nearly every other state.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Well, and it's also consistent with enforcing federal law. Now,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: there are local jurisdictions, as I understand it, that allow
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: non citizens to vote in local matters, and they do
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: that fine. I suppose this doesn't interfere with that. This
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: would only preclude those individuals who aren't US citizens from
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: voting on federal elections, so that doesn't change the dynamic
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: there either. So, and I know Mitch McConnell's one of
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: his arguments is, well, states are responsible for the elections,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: and that may be true, but the federal law, the
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Constitution says that citizens vote in federal elections. So this
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: is a mechanism to enforce the federal component.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Of the law. Right, And look, that is already the law.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: But part of the problem is there's not really a
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: detection exactly right, there's no real way to check it.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: And that's what this bill is about. And look, we're
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: not really believing that overall in the state of California,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: for example, that somehow, in a presidential election soon anyway,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: it's going to become a republican state. You know, back
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: when Reagan was president, it was a republican state, right,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: so over time, who knows where things go in any
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: given state, but in congressional districts in California they've got
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: like a two or three week period where they're accounting elections.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Everyone rational says something, there's some shenanigans going on when
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: you see this kind of thing and you see the
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Republican up by four thousand votes, and what do you know,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: three weeks later, the Democrat has found four two hundred votes.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Democrat wins by two hundred votes. I mean, this kind
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: of stuff happens over and over again in California and
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: in other states, and we need to have honest elections.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: And the irony is Democrats are always the ones that
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: run around say, you know, it's to save our democracy.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Our democracy, Well, it's a republic if you can keep it.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: But yes, we do vote. And it seems like if
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: you're truly a Democrat in your party name, you would
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: want an honest election. How this breaks on party lines,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: I don't know, but it clearly indicates maybe you have
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: other motives.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Maybe well, and there have been for all the people
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: who say, well, all this doesn't happen, or in the
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: case of even some judges. We had a judge Denise
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Casper just basically predicate her her the the the eradication
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: of the executive order which required proof of citizenship to
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: vote in the elections because well, it doesn't happen very
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: often or there's no documented proof of widespread voter fraud.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: But there have been document a case of voter fraud
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: and illegal illegal uh non citizens voting in federal elections.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: That in and of itself, given the the the cloak
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: of darkness that all these elections seem to be shrouded under.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: It like in California, if it can happen, and it
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: has happened, then it may very well be happening right
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: now in larger numbers. But you got to investigate it
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: to find it out. They don't even want to look
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: into it. Congressman Davidson, No.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: That's right, and that they don't want the detection method
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: because you know, for the obvious reasons, they want to
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: keep saying, well, it just doesn't happen. Well, you don't
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: have a way to detect it. It's like you know,
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: putting a putting a cop out there to check people
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: for speeding, and they don't have radar or anything else
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: to check it. As like I don't know the car
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: looked like it was going fast. Well can you substantiate that? Well,
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: not really. It looks kind of like maybe they were
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: going faster than the other cars. Well how much faster?
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: It seemed a lot faster. You know that you haven't
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: built the detection system, and that's what we're trying to do.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, they didn't accidentally undo this in a lot
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: of states, and they didn't accidentally avoid doing And then
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: that's my concern. Even after you've passed something like voter
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: ID in California, you could hold up a cleanexit. They'd
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: probably just wave your height on in. But the federal
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: review of the voter registration files to say they've got
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: it honest at least registrations, Yeah, that would be a start.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: And you know, the president's trying to use the postal
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: service to rein in some level of accountability on mail
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: end ballots as well, And I mean that's a rational
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: thing to do.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: We'll bring Congressman David's back. More issues to talk about
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: clearly with Congressman Warren Davidson. Don't go away, be right back.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Fifty five KRC dot com our iHeartRadio music side the
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: talk station eight eighteen ifty have KRCD talk station Right
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: House with Congressman Warren at Davidson, pivoting away from Trump's
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: demand to get the Save Act pass and certainly understand
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: the reasons behind wanting to get it passed. Question remains
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: whether they can get through the Senate, but pivoting over
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: to the situation between the Iran and the United States.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: We have this memorandum of understanding, Congressman Davidson, is the
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: way things are shaking out. It doesn't seem to me
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: that the real issues are being addressed on and off
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: on again. Sort of closure of the Strait of Horror
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: moves though, But the dealing with the nuclear materials that
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Iran still has. No one's denying that's still there. How
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: we act s ays it, who gets access to it.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: There was discussions about allowing inspectors to come in, followed
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: by the Iranian saying no, no, we never agreed to that.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: But it's looking more and more like Iran has kind
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: of the upper hand in all this, given that they
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: have been able to shut down and open up on
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: a whim. The strait of Horror moves considering their sizeable
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: battery of drones and small little mosquito boats and mine.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: So in spite of the having the biggest military and
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: navy in the entire planet trying to keep the place open,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: were unable to open it up. So where are we
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: with these negotiations from your perspective, Congressman Davidson.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think you know how open is
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: the Straight of horn Moves. I don't think the Navy's
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: worried about going through there. They've escorted, you know, millions
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: of barrels of oil through the Straight of horn Moves
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: and tons of ships. What happens is the media will say, oh, well,
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: you know this, this speedboat with a gun on it
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: represents ran still has a navy. Well, okay, if you
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: want to call that a navy. But nevertheless, for a
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: commercial ship, well that still poses a threat. And the
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: insurers are saying, hey, you know, we don't really want
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: the risks. So a lot of people aren't taking the
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: risk until there's certainty that there will be no problem
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: going through there. It's, you know, unfortunately, kind of like
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: going through some parts of big cities. At times you
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: might say it's safe, but a lot of people are like,
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: well I don't know if I need to go there tonight.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: You know right, and you know, maybe a little more
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: dangerous than that in some parts of the strait, but
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: we're trying to get you know, all the details worked out.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: I think our vice president has been exceptional here from
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: the get go. Frankly, I mean sounding a word of
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: caution in advance of the war, but supporting the president.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: He's the vice president, so of course you can do that.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: But I think he's been effective in saying I'm going
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: to go on behalf of the president and the people
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: of the United States and say we want to find
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: a peaceful way to resolve it. And no, we don't
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: trust Iran, but we are going to measure the results.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: And the results are you know, troubling. It's not like
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: something and this is a thing. This wasn't a treaty
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: that was announced. This was an MoU so that you
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: could work out, you know, a more enduring language. But
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: it's at least to say, hey, over these next sixty days,
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: let's be more intentional about meeting. Let's stop doing certain things.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: And that hasn't consistently stopped. I think one of the
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: big flaws is, you know, Israelbola aren't truly parties to
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: the agreement. And framework. And you know, to some extent
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: Hesbellah is somewhat independent of Iran. They're totally dependent upon
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: Iran for funding. Their ideology and religion are the same,
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: but you know, they have different people. Even within the
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: toppled regime in Iran, there are hardliners that have control
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: of military units, that have launch buttons and they're sending
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: missiles and things like that. So to say that Iran
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: has complete control of even their own military right now
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: isn't certain. And it's clear that the United States doesn't
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: control Israel. We have a lot of influence with Israel.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: But you know, you can tell President Trump is a
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: bit frustrated with Benjamin Natanya, who in particular.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: No question about that. And to me, that was the
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: biggest red flag in the whole memory and of understanding
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: is that they included issues involving Lebanon. And my immediate
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: reaction to that when I read it for the first
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: time was well, wait a second, Lebanon is not a
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: signatory to this, either is Israel. So how in the
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: hell are they going to be even drug into this,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: And how are issues involving love and in relative to
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: what we are doing visa ve the Iranians and trying
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: to get the straight open up. I mean that to
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: me was a recipe for disaster from from the outset.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, look, you know, even Kree Islam. I mean,
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: the recorded history of the Middle East broadly has been war.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: I mean there have been periods of quote peace, but
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: it's only because one empire or another conquered everyone and
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: imposed their will on it, whether it was you know,
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: the Roman Empire or the Ottoman Empire, or Muhammad and
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: his day or you know Zerzees back in the Yeah,
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: you know, all through history. You look at all these
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: kinds of things through the region, it's a history of war.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: So you know, the odds are not in favor of peace.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: But I think it's something I think the world wants,
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: and I think what we are seeing is is that
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: people in the you know, the population of Iran is
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: much younger than a lot of other countries. They're being
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: fruitful and multiplying, unlike a lot of other Western countries,
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: and so you have a large young generation in all
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: that country is known as poverty because they're not engaged
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: with the rest of the world. And so that's part
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: of why the domestic unrest was there that's why they
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: were uprisings before February twenty eighth, when the US did
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: the decapitation strike there that led to the regime killing
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: thirty to forty thousand of their own citizens. They were
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: rising up in part because their economies and shambles. There's
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: no opportunity, and that's why President Trump is out there
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: offering if you want to engage with the rest of
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: the world, do you want a different future than your
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: more recent past, then show us that you're going to
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: change your behavior, and we're willing to embrace you and
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: welcome you into this part of the world.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: Maybe this is our fundamental fair to understand the Iranian
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: fundamentalists who run the country, they don't want to engage
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: with the rest of the world. I think they view
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: the rest of the world Western civilization generally speaking, as
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: a threat to their fun menalist ideology. It's like Sodom
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: and Gomora out here in the rest of the world.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Why would I want to become a part of that
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: that culture that undermines religion? Generally speaking? Ask Christians in
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: America how they feel about Hollywood and social media and
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: everybody else criticizing Christianity. I can see the Imam saying
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: no way, screw the rest of the world. We don't
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: want to part.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: That's right, and that that's the divide within within Iran.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: And you know, the hardline fundamentalists versus a lot of
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: the rest of the population. And you know, they got
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: the fundamentalists are the guys with the guns right now,
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: and they're willing to use them on their own population.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: It's not like they're going to go to the polls.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: They're not going to protest too aggressively and stay alive
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: over there. Nevertheless, many of them have been protesting, so
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: they really want a different future in a lot of ways.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: But yeah, no matter how much suffering you impose on
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: the hardliners that have stayed in control of the country
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: so far, to them, it's just a fulfillment of prophecy
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: and they're awaiting the twelfth mm. The more you attack
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: them more it validates their theory that they're going to
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: be attacked, and it's almost like they have to do
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: things to agitate others to fulfill this prophecy that they've
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: got and they're waiting, waiting for the twelfth a mom
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: and in some ways this coincides with you know, the
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: next building of the Temple and the Antichrist and the
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: Israel views the Messiah because they don't recognize Jesus as
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: the Messiah. So they're all come together, and they've got
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: prophetic futures where there's this big final battle and they
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: come together. So all this kind of fuels let's just
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: keep killing each other mindset for some of the radicals,
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: and I think a lot of people are wise to say,
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: you know, maybe we should just get out of the
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: way and let them do it. We don't have to
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: get in all the wars we're invited to. We certainly
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: don't need to seek out extra ones. And you know, nevertheless,
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: look when Israel's attacked, I mean, America feels a deep
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: sympathy to Israel. A lot of our heritage is you know,
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: any Christian is going to feel some connectedness to the
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: Holy Land.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: Well you might own to remind that to the leftist
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: in New York who most recently elected because they ran
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: on a full anti Israel platform. Congressman Davidson, wonderful conversation
• 18:14
