Day Extra special Wednesday, considering that we have joined the fifty five KERC Morning
Show. Now the return of Congressman Warren Davidson, followed by Congressman Brad Winsor
for a full hour in studio after the top of the hour, Welcome back
Congressman Warren Davidson, live from the RNC of Milwaukee. Hey, it's an
honor to join you, Brian, thanks for having me on this morning.
A real pleasure to have you on. And first off, I just want
to get an atmosphere check. I talked to Claire Corkran, commissioner from Claremont
County. Claire Corkran, who I know, you know, and she sounds
oh my god, last couple of days she's been on the program, just
so excited. The atmosphere everyone's positive. The reaction to JD. Vans has
so far been pretty strong and positive. I wanted to get your reaction on
the mood of the convention. And you're also a reaction to Trump's selection of
JD. Vance given the huge bench, very qualified, qualified folks that could
have been vice his vice presidential selection. Congressman. Yeah, I mean,
look, it's a great week. It's celebratory and especially so because frankly,
Donald Trump rarely missed being assassinated. I mean, it's just unbelievable the number
of failures that that happened are alleged to have happened as failures. I mean,
at this point, I think it takes more faith believe there was negligence
than MAOIs oh yeah, uh yeah, you are, you're you're in my
listening audience territory on that one. I have so many people believing that this
is in some way intentional, intentional. That's how much faith we've lost in
our government at this point that our secret service charged with protecting not only just
the president, the Vice president United States, and other noted notables, but
also the candidate Donald Trump, former president of the United States of America.
He's got Secret Service protection all the time. That they could fail so epically,
just automatically, in these troubled times we live in, raise concerns that
well they wanted it to happen, well something I don't know, I don't
know how far it goes, but you know, not securing that building and
looking at at the things around that, It's just it's just inconceivable to me
that it takes just so much extreme negligence to add it up that you start
going, well, what would other explanations be? And you know, we'll
follow the facts where they are. But you know, obviously the number one
person to blame is the shooter. But but the security failure should have prevented
that, frankly, and you could go on all day. So there's just
a lot of conversation about that, and frankly, just an amazing relief and
then a celebration like, okay, well we're still on track, things are
going well. President Trump couldn't have responded in a more inspiring way that you
know, boldly comes back up right away. Fight fight, fight, and
it's like, yeah, that's the mood here. We're gonna fight and you
know, using our system, not with the way that they try to take
out Trump. But you know, we're gonna get out the vote, we're
gonna work at every level. We're gonna win these races, and we're gonna
put Donald Trump back in the White House and give them the kinds of majorities
that we can get things done with. And so, you know, I
think JD. Vance is the right guy to do that for a couple of
reasons. One, you know, it sends a clear signal that this is
a not about one campaign, It's about a movement that is going to take
a long time. So you go to one of the youngest guys that President
Trump was considering. And I think the other thing it sends is here's somebody
who changed their mind about Donald Trump and you know, didn't start out liking
Donald Trump and took a look at the results and took a look at everything
else and said I can get behind that. I believe in that. That's
exactly what we need for our country. And the other thing that says is
Donald Trump's a guy that doesn't hold a grudge. They did try to describe
him as this monster, demon guy. No one believed that about him before
and now you know, before he ran for office, and despite all of
the billion of dollars of media and earned media and everything else they spent trying
to assassinate Donald Trump's character in the press. You look at JD. Vance's
pick and go, well, he doesn't hold a grudge. There he got
over things. And now JD Vance is his VP pick. Well, and
you have addressed and I think in a very positive a very positive and I'll
say spin not to be pejorative about it, but a positive spin on a
message that some of my listeners are concerned about, which is he did have
some pretty, you know, terrible things to say about but Donald Trump,
going back to twenty sixteen. But you know, on the heels of comments
like that, I had a listener call in and remind everybody, and I
thought it was a wonderful point. Ronald Reagan was a Democrat for most of
his political life before he ended up becoming the best Republican president around. And
I have noted and noted this morning as well. Donald Trump hasn't always been
a Republican, you know. I mean, people are willing to forgive someone
if it's in their own best interest, and I think it has the time
to forgive JD. Advance for a few comments he made back in twenty sixteen.
Well, if Donald Trump can forgive him, yeah, I don't know
why somebody else would hold a grudge. Excellent point in Congressman Davidson. We're
gonna pause, right, No, We'll bring Congresman Davidson back for a few
more thoughts about the convention, what's coming up on the plate today and the
Make America Safe Again, which I think is a very very positive message for
America that the Republicans are on the winning side of more with Congressman David said,
it's seven thirty five right now for your five KC they talk station cover.
Since he had John Roulman might do this this weekend program Sundays at eight.
You should I recommend you tuning in on it. It sounds crazy you're
going to listen to a program about medical insurance. It is so fascinating because

your needs, saving you money with better coverage. We've had many listeners.
I heard from one just the other day that she said she's not saving monthly
premium, but she has better benefits her. The hospital visitor, or rather
her doctor visit resulted in her getting a check north of one hundred dollars.
She got money for going to see the doctor. My son had the same
experience. That could be you too. Talk to John Rulman. Couples hundred

talk station Brian Thomas with Congressman Warren Davidson talking from the RNC. Congressman Davidson,
I have to ask you because there I've circled your name in the article
jd Vance now vice presidential choice, of course, if the Trump team wins,
he's going to be vice president of the United States of America, opening
up a Senate seat. Lots of names swirling around, and oh look,
Warren Davidson, one of the names in local news. Would you take that
job if you were asked? Warren Davidson, Well, that's a different way
to phrase the question. And a lot depends on the outcome of the selection.
And you know, I'm honored. I've got a lot of things out
there in a decision matrix that we continue to refine and take a look at
on about November fifth or sixth and see what I am going to do next
or continue doing as we do it. But right now I'm focused on this
election. I'm on the ballot, trying to get re elected to another term
and the House of Representatives and be able to get out there and do the
things that are going to make us a restore government small enough to fit within
the Constitution, which says we got our work cut out for us. Wonderful,
wonderful political response, Congressman Davidson, we got your back here in the
morning show. Congressman, you are going to get re elected. I know
your constituents. They're wonderful people, and they know you do a fantastic job.
And I think it's right that your name is on this list, whether
or not you actually get tapped for the Senate spot or not. We know
your politics and you have a demonstrably wonderful record in that regard. Onto the
convention. What's the topic today? I guess yesterday was make America safe again.
Republicans are definitely on the right side of law enforcement as we approach Nomber.
Yeah, look, you know it was really cool. We're at the
convention and I'm walking out one of the access points at the end of the
evening last night and there's Cincinnati Police. I'm like, I've got Cincinnati Police
up here protecting this place. It was really cool. So, you know,
you're pulling departments from all over, but it was especially cool to see
Cincinnati Police Department up here and doing a great job. And so, yeah,
it's an amazing effort. Securities tight up here. But you know,
the problem is it's not always tight everywhere around the country. And while you
even have good police departments, sometimes they're being told to effectively stand down and
they don't feel like they can do their jobs. You've got great cops essentially
just you know, biding their time to retire because the job has become unbearably
miserable for lots of people. And then on the other hand, I see
some of these young guys that are still you know, one or two years
in the forest. They have always wanted to be a cop. They still
go out there and do it, and you know, they get frustrated when
they find a case. They find the bad guys, and then they send
them to judges. And at the most basic level. You know, you
look at a society, don't hurt people, don't take their stuff. Society
could exist just fine if people could get along with that. And so you
get judges that try to make it right when somebody does for someone else or
take their stuff, and we are seeing that fail over and over again in
Hamilton County. It's disappointing. Good news in Butler County, just up the
road. That rarely happens. What nice shot Congress and David. But it's
accurate, it's so true. And that's a very very profound reminder gop judges
dot com for the Hamilton County voters who got to remember to vote the down
ballot races, most notably the judicial races, because we do need tough on
crime judges along with Hamilton County Prosecute Melissa Powers, she needs to be re
elected so we can fulfill this this criminal justice leg that's so important, the
deterrence leg. If you commit crime, if you are violent and evil to
your fellow man, you are going to suffer consequences. That's the deterrent element
of the criminal jugs system, and it's the one that really works. They
have really kicked that leg out and people realize they're not going to face any
penalties if they go around and commit vile behavior, and it just creates this
vicious cycle that can be fixed if we just pay attention when we vote.
Yeah, look, you can see that. You know. Probably one of
the most visible cases was in New York City, where the city was so
terrible. Turists would come and go, oh, yeah, here's where all
the counterfeit goods are, and here's where all the drugs are, and here's
where all the sex stuff is. And people would come to town knowing this,
and you're like, well, if tourists can come to town and know
this, surely the police know it. And the answer, of course they
do. They tolerated, and you know, you get a lot of times
what you tolerate. You saw in New York City when Mayor Rudy Giuliani was
there. They started changing the approach and the results changed, and the same
thing can happen Cincinnati. We make it a place where people want to go
out at night, they can bring their families, come down and watch the
reds Bill on a winning streak, and come back and watch the Bengals.
You know, get past the NFL refs and defeat the Chiefs and go to
the super Bowl and win. At this time, go out and watch out
c Cincinnati, stay in first place, see some of our great restaurants and
be out downtown. Things will be great. And a lot of the districts
you can do that, and you can do that in Cincinnati at times.
But there are times where people feel unsafe and that just shouldn't continue to exist.
And if we do what you said, gop Judges dot com, elect
umless of Powers and others. You know, that's the path that you go
on. It's a choice, it really is. What's the subject matter of
today's convention? I think there seems to be a theme going on on a
daily basis there. Yeah, you know, Brian, I apologize, I
don't have today's theme yet. Get ready to go to the breakfast after this.
We'll go there. We'll get the little rally and check out check out
the theme. But you know, I thought we had some great speeches last
night. I thought that Governor DeSantis did a nice job. I thought Ben
Carson did a nice job. There was a mom whose son was killed in
Afghanistan. Yeah, you know, just tragic cases where you know, people
are being killed by drugs that are poisoned with Sentinel, and they're doing a
great job of highlighting there's real consequences for these failed policies that Joe Biden has
presided over anybody speaking directly to the border issue, because clearly the border is
part of the reason we have a drug problem in this country. Yeah,
I mean, that'll definitely be one of the prominent things. And who knows,
there maybe even some charts that President's Trump didn't quite get through on Saturday,
you look at illegal immigration. Everyone told Joe Biden this was going to
be the result if you kept these policies or implemented them and you delete the
policies that were working under President Trump. And so they didn't change these policies
despite the implications of them. They put the policies in place that they put
in because of the implications. And now when we're trying to make sure that
no illegals vote in our elections, no dimmer. Well, okay, five
Democrats voted with us to say, yeah, you should have to prove that
you're a citizen when you register to vote. And part of why that's so
important is, you know, so many states, including Ohio, you have
motor voter laws, and so when someone goes into the Bureau motor vehicles,
they can get a license or whatever, but they're automatically being registered to vote.
In our state. Our Secretary of State Frank LeRose will go through and
say, yeah, this person's legit, this person's not, and follow up
to be able to say, yeah, we either add this person to the
voter registration or we don't. But in states like California and New York,
Illinois wherever, they're not doing that work. And you know the answer is,
oh, well, you know, you have to be a citizen to
vote in a federal election anyway. But you've got in California things saying,
well, if you're not a citizen, you can't vote in federal elections,
would you like us to send you a local ballot or whatever? So they
get ballot harvesting and every other thing. There's no real enforcement mechanism, and
so we're trying to get that done ahead of this election. There's so many
layers to this, Brian, I mean, HUD supposed to provide housing for
people that run into a time of need, the Housing and Urban Development Program.
They're out there trying to put ballot drop boxes and do election registration stuff.
There are no dollars appropriated to HUD to do election activities. I wonder
why Democrats are trying to use HUT for this purpose. And you mentioned enforcement
mechanism. Think about this on the heels of our most you know, moments
ago conversation about them not prosecuting criminals who commit heinous crimes. What's the likelihood
they're actually going to go after someone and prosecute them for casting an illegal vote.
Well, and the other part is the harm is already there. Yes,
you know, the election is over deposited. You can't find which ballot
that was and say you know, because you don't you have some ananimity after
the fact on the vote. So that has to be done on frond.
And you know, look, our state has voter idea. It's hard for
me to understand states that don't have voter idea. I don't even know how
you can say you had it on a selection as you came and tell me
who voted. Excellent point, as always with Congressman Warren Davidson. It's actually
the today is make America strong again. According to my Executi producer Joe Strekker,
who is an Internet research guru guy, and he found the answer to
the question. So make America strong again, Congress War and Davidson's the man
to do that. Keep up the great work, Congressman. Thanks for the
time he spent with my listeners of me today, and save travels on your
way back and enjoy the balance of the convention. We got our fingers crossed
out here. Yeah, we'll do Thanks Brian, God bless you and all
your listeners, and you, sir seven forty eight fifty five krs the talk
