Bill cunning in the Great American Of course, Warren Davidson represents a little part
of Hamlet County but mainly goes up to Butler County and parts north thereof Who's
got a more or less a relatively new district, and part of it is
in Hamilton County, a large part is in western Ohio. But until then
he was one of about a dozen US Congressmen voted to alice Speaker Johnson from
the chair, following the lead of Marjorie Taylor Green. Plus, we have
so many other issues, and Congressman Davidson, welcome again to the Bill Cunningham
Show. So can you tell the American people why you saddled up next to
Marjorie Taylor Green and decided to alice the Speaker. Well, so there's two
votes there. Her vote, her privileged motion, was to vacate the chair.
That question didn't get an answer, and frankly, I didn't think it
was a good idea to v Kate Johnson. Now he wouldn't have got hired
doing the stuff he's done. So it's a fair question to say, hey,
why should we keep this guy? What the path that they did it
with McCarthy showed this was a disaster. I tried to say, don't vacate
McCarthy. I'm not saying he's perfect, but we don't have a good backup
plan. And if there was any doubt about that, I think the events
since then have proven we didn't have a good backup plan. And the same
as I did back in the fall, I did here. There's always this
passive aggressive stuff in DC. People are never direct like they are back home.
They'll tell you straight yes or no. In DC they have these passive
aggressive plays like, well, let's motion to table it. Well, so
what got asked a question is should we table the question or not? And
I said, no, answer the question the question what should we vacate the
chair? And just like McCarthy, I said, you know, we should
answer the question. I agree. I disagree on the motion to table.
I don't even think it should be made in order when you're talking about a
privileged resolution. And there was a large fight over whether to have what is
you know, since the eighteen hundred's been part of Congress except for a little
term there, and so that was the vote, should we table it or
not? And I said no answer the underlying question, should we vacate the
chair, and I don't think so. I think we should do this in
a more orderly way, and to fail to do it that way as a
disaster high let So in reality, did you vote yes or no to vacate
the chair? Well, I only voted no on vacate the chair one time
because that's the only time it's been called, and that was against Kevin McCarthy.
So I said no. There was no motion to vacate. That was
answered on Mike Johnson. The question was should we table it? And because
the motion to table passed, because all Democrats voted for it and most Republicans
voted for it, that we didn't get to answer the question of motion to
vacate. We asked motion to table. So I've tried explaining this. Unfortunately,
not everybody has the same literacy rate. It's all out there at Warren
Davidson on Twitter or x and on Facebook as well, and in our newsletter
and other places. And look, it's new uance and it's in the weeds,
and this isn't an era that tolerates nuanced very well. It just simple
yes, night, yes or no or whatever. So you try to explain
it, but that is my point on this question, answer the actual question,
and it didn't get asked. It was asked by Marjorie Taylor Green,
but there was no answer on should we vacate the chair? It was let's
table it. Because here's what I'll guarantee you. I guarantee you all.
The Democrats wouldn't have covered on motion to vacate. They would have they would
have not said, oh, I'm going to vote for Mike Johnson for speaker.
They said, oh, we'll cover you by saying, let's table it.
And that's why the passive aggressive play is so corrupting. It really isn't
an honest answer and to the question that was actually asked, and so I
don't think it should have been able to be even considered in order. Some
of the Republican side say the Republican Party has nice theories, but there's no
practice or follow through. I had on Frank Larrose about an hour a couple
hours ago, and seemingly there's some bill in they'll Ohio House that would ban
foreigners from investing a lot of money in our state elections, and that couldn't
be passed out of the Republicans. They have of a veto proof majority.
You got the marijuana issue hanging out there. This isn't your Baileywick. But
in Columbus, it's been more than a half a year since we voted for
recreational marijuana. I'm told to no closer now than they were six months ago.
So you got Republicans dominate everything and nothing gets done. And now the
Republicans controlled the House of Representatives by finn margin, only one or two votes,
and nothing gets done in Washington. And so this is a this is
maybe your pro former question, Congressman Warren Davidson, But why vote for Republicans
when what we want to happen doesn't occur. Well, look, everyone in
the Republican Party runs on some form of you can check all the websites they
all noticed say that we want a smaller, more accountable government. But unfortunately,
what you'll see that some Republicans will actually fight for is more spending,
a bigger government, more government, and less freedom instead of what we actually
campaign on for is more freedom and less government. And don't go by the
words, go by the deeds. And that's why Johnson's surrender on the spending
bill was so bad. He came back to us and said, well,
guys, I fought so hard and we didn't have the votes in the four
corners. We could have sent an in turnover to know you don't have the
votes on the four corners, and what are the four corners? It's not
in the constitution. It's Mitch McConnell, Chuck Schumer, Jakim Jefferis, and
Mike Johnson. And what we want to know is is at least one to
three, not even two to two not We want Mike to be there,
the Speaker to be there fighting for it. And if you want things to
change, the main power of Congress, the main power of the legislature isn't
to hold hearings and make things famous. That's important. We just did that
on the Weaponization Committee, to look at how the law is being weaponized against
ordinary Americans and most especially against Donald Trump. Yeah, but that highlights one
of the powers. That's the one that gets a lot of recognition. But
the power of the purse is the chief power. And if we keep surrendering
on this, we're funding the status quo, which is bankrupting our country financially
and morally. And that's why it was so consequential that we didn't do what
we said we would do. We said that we were going to get a
smaller government, and we said we were only going to fund a government that
secures the border. The only leverage we had on that was the spending bill.
And so to surrender that negotiation, frankly, did deserve a fair question,
a fair hearing, and a fair debate or is this the right guy
to continue to lead our party? And the reality is the right time to
have that debate is after we grow our majorities in November. So we have
to do what we said we would do. Here's the bright spot in the
House. In the United States House of Representatives, a majority of the Republican
Party said, no, don't do this. This is a terrible idea.
We can't fund the status quo. Let's change course. And in the Ohio
Legislature, look, Stevens cut a deal with Democrats to be the Speaker of
the House. We are going to get a new speaker. There's no way
Jason Stevens is going to continue to be the Speaker of the House. I
can't imagine that the minority of Republicans are going to once again make the mistake
of working with Democrats. Because we see the agenda. Yeah, is gone.
It wasn't Republicans that failed to address that foreign money. It was with
the vote of Democrats in a small sliver of Republicans back Jason Stevens. And
look, that's why Matt Huffman coming in as a new member of the House.
The current president of the Senate needs to be the next Speaker of the
House in the state of Ohio. All right, let's move on to the
debates. That kind of hit like a bombshell. I hate the word bombshell.
I hear it all the time. Two or three hours ago that behind
the scenes, the Biden campaign and the Trump campaign have now agreed on two
debates. One debate will be on CNN. That'll be a road game for
Donald Trump on June to twenty seventh. Then there's another road game he's going
to have to win on ABC News on September the tenth. So the debates
have been set outside the Presidential Commission. June twenty seventh, CNN, September
tenth, ABC. And a birdie whisper in my ear from the Trump campaign
that there will be no audience, there'll be no third party, like an
RFK junior whose brain's been eaten by a worm or no Trump remarks. In
other words, during Biden remarks, the microphone will be off, so when
one speaking, the microphone is off, et cetera. And the moderators will
be chosen from CBS, ABC, CNN or Telemundo. So the Trump's is
going to play two away games in front of home crowds. What's your sense
of the presidential debates? What the campaign agreed to? And a campaign official
told me, Look, we wanted to lock in these dates so that later
on Biden I can't say I can't make it, or I fell down the
steps or I forgot. Now they want to lock in the dates. And
secondly, they don't like some of the rules, but the Biden campaign to
do the debates insisted upon these rules. The microphone is off when the other
person is speaking, and the anchors come from CBSABCC and or Telemundo with no
audience. Is the Trumpster playing an away game? Yeah, I mean he's
not in a fair fight, but I think he can win with both his
hands tight behind his back here. I mean, look, the Democrats not
only is this what's the official thing? What's going to go on behind the
scenes, is the script writers are going to write the whole script. That's
going to be the most choreographed debate in history, because it's got to be
only Joe Biden can only read the teleprompture. I mean, he can't think
independently into the Extenny can. It's only because he's juiced up on so much
drugs that is wrecking his body. And the good news is they're going to
try to get one of these debates out of the way before the conventions.
The bad news is, you know, that gives Democrats a chance to pull
the plug on Joe and swap him out for somebody else, you know,
head of the election. Right, they don't want that, the Democrats are
going to do. But I think either way, what we have to know
is Donald Trump is the right guy to win this election. And I get
Look, there's some hesitancy amongst some voters. Donald Trump doesn't necessarily represent the
same style that a lot of people would like. Yeah, they love the
policies, and you're like, how do you get that, Well, you
got to get Trump to get the policies. You got to get Trump to
win the team that's going to put these in place. And frankly, you
got to get Bernie Marino to be Sharon Brown so that we get get Trump's
team fielded, and then we frankly, if we do those things, we're
gonna We're not just gonna hold the house. We're going to grow the majority
of hold on Sharon offense. They're going to be able to deliver the results.
Congressman Shared Brown has cured cancer, diabetes, and he's taken the pen
from Donald Trump to seal the southern border. So this is somebody who's had
some sort of religious conversion. He's like Saint Paul on the road to Damascus.
I mean, this guy, all of a sudden is everywhere. We
couldn't find him with a search worn for five and a half years. Six
months before the election, he surfaces with these grey commercials about curing cancer,
diabetes and working with Donald Trump? Is Shared Brown a Trump supporter? Am
I missing something here? Yes? No, it's the same playbook Tim Ryan
tried to run. People didn't even know he was a member of the House,
let alone a Democrat. And now they're like, oh, the Sheer
Brown guy seems great. They're like, yeah, you know, if the
ads are so good, you know, maybe he has a chance. But
the reality is. I think Bernie Marino is gonna be able to put the
campaign together and the advertising that's gonna make sure Brown actually have to defend his
record, and his record is perfect alignment with his longtime friend Joe Biden.
Both of them have been in office since nineteen seventy two. They've been elected,
That's all they've done. Although I will say Joe Biden was smart enough
not to take his honeymoon in the Soviet Union. But they work together to
try to get the communist banker confirmed. Nobody made them do that. That's
actually what they believe. So you know, hopefully we're gonna be able to
get a majority that really can't make a difference, and I think the Bates
are going to highlight those ideas are very different us. Lastly, as talk
about the deficit, not very sexy. Nonetheless, we're borrowing about a trillion
dollars every one hundred days. Nothing is stopping that from occurring. Under Trump.
The deficit went up about seven trillion. Under Biden, is going up
about another seven trillion Under Obama. It doubled under Bush forty three. It
doubled. Every time I look at doubles. Suddenly we're talking about real money,
close to forty trillion dollars. The interest on that is a trillion dollars
more than the Department of Defense. Neither party looks like they're willing to cut
down on that. Do you agree. Well, look, this is the
reality. Everyone left the center thinks the solution is more government, right,
which means more spending. And Republicans, like I said, they all know
to say that they're for a smaller government. But the reality is a lot
of Republicans, some of them will call themselves big big business or big national
security people, which means I'm a big government Republican. And they've convinced themselves
kind of this alliance with all the people left the center and some of the
big government Republicans is that the real threat to the status quo are people like
me that want a smaller government. And that's how it stays bipartisan. We
didn't get this if you had one party that really did believe and was willing
to fight for a smaller government. At least sometimes you would get a smaller
government. But you don't. Every Congress, every president, every year,
the government grows. And that's what we have to change. I mean,
we have to get a government small enough to fit back inside the constitution.
We could afford a government that small. And the reality is the states have
balanced just like households do, and you have to pay the bills, you
have to live within your means. Taxation Republicans used to be united in supporting
lower taxes or no increases in taxes because it was a cap on government,
but they've long since blown through that. They keep spending the money anyway,
and that's how we get this inflation. You can print money, that's true.
We've printed a lot of money. And what you can't do is say
that it's going to buy the same amount of stuff. And everyone's living that,
whether it's at the pump, it's buying houses, it's buying groceries,
it's paying for anything. Your money just doesn't go as far. And that's
because Congress keeps spending more than you have. And it is a tax it
frankly, it's a tax on the people with the fewest assets, and it's
wrecking our system and it's dividing our country wrongly. People think, oh,
it's rich versus poor, red versus blue, urban versus rural, and the
reality is you're destroying the money so you fix the money, we can do
a lot of good. Lastly, you're dealing with the law. Fair.
It was one of those break the glass moments when the Democratic Party decide to
prosecute the leader of the opposition, and they had a well coordinated effort by
Michael Colanjo Colangelo. Who's the guy from the Department of Justice. He's prosecuting
Donald Trump in the state court. When was the last time number three guy
at the Department of Justice under Biden went into a dirty, filthy, grimy
in New York City courtroom on state charges to prosecute the president of the United
States. You Fanny Willis is personally benefiting financially through a relationship with Nathan Wade
everywhere. I look, the Democrats have a break the glass moment. We're
going to indict the leader of the opposition party and pretend as if there's serious
charges here when there's not. When you get with their powwow there in Washington,
what if people say about the prosecution, the persecution of Donald Trump and
the fact the Democratic Party is gone there? Look, I think the American
people see through this, and you didn't even really know what the crime is.
Falsifying business records. That doesn't get prosecuted, period. And the person
that falsified them, if they were falsified, was Michael Cowen, not Donald
Trump. So they're not even they're using him as a witness. They're not
saying he's signed some ple deal in exchange for non prosecution. And normally that's
a misdemeanor in the state of New York. And the records were modified in
twenty seventeen. And the whole point that they're saying is they were falsified to
influence the twenty sixteen election. How do you influence the twenty sixteen election in
twenty seventeen, And so they say there was a collusion, Well where was
the conspiracy? That's not even charged. So the narrative does not match the
reality. Nevertheless, that doesn't mean that you're going to get a not guilty
verdict in New York. People don't trust that Donald Trump can get a fair
trial in New York. No, just like they know that the people from
January sixth didn't get a fair trial in Washington, d c. And they
know that there's at best a two tiered system of justice. So look,
you know this guy French philosopher, Guy Frederick Bastiat wrote this about it,
wrote a short book called the Law, and it's basically the law corrupted from
its rightful purpose. And when they corrupt the law, you lose respect.
When the law is being used at odds with morality, you lose respect for
the law because you know what's right and wrong, and you know, and
I think, look, people are going to go vote, and I think,
look what they intend for evil. I believe God and the voters are
going to use for good. We're going to reelect Donald Trump. Well,
the Democratic activists are all over the Trumpster and we'll see what happens. They
can't get away with this. I mean, it just opens up a Pandora's
box in the future that the whoever's in power can indict the leader of the
opposition. If the shoe was on the other foot and Trump was still in
office and did exactly this same stuff against Joe Biden and Hunter Biden, the
media would be up in turmoil. But because it involves the Republican and Donald
Trump, they roll over and played dead, which the media does on a
regular basis. Warren Davidson, US Congressman, once again, thank you for
coming on the bill. Cunningham Show. And with your permission, we'll do
it again. Thank you, Congressman. Yeah, it's an honor. Yeah.
Bless you and your listeners. God, bless America. Let's continue with
more. And by the way, PG sitton Feld is out. The six
