<v Speaker 1>it's cold as are well diggers behind plus on Monday

7
00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:24.559
<v Speaker 1>in Washington. All the platforms have now been built ready

8
00:00:24.559 --> 00:00:26.879
<v Speaker 1>for the inaugural and all Joe Biden is going to

9
00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:29.839
<v Speaker 1>be is is like a period or a semicol in

10
00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:32.439
<v Speaker 1>between the two Trump terms, which is a great thing

11
00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:34.560
<v Speaker 1>for our country. Joining you and I now is the

12
00:00:34.840 --> 00:00:39.520
<v Speaker 1>Great Warren Davidson, Congressman from Southwest Ohio, and Congressman Davidson,

13
00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:42.399
<v Speaker 1>welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And first of all,

14
00:00:42.439 --> 00:00:45.320
<v Speaker 1>you've caught a lot of flak from the mainstream media

15
00:00:45.359 --> 00:00:49.439
<v Speaker 1>about having strings attached to any aid that goes to California, because,

16
00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:53.280
<v Speaker 1>after all, were not we the American taxpayer has sent

17
00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:56.920
<v Speaker 1>about seventy or eighty billion dollars to California over the

18
00:00:56.960 --> 00:00:59.560
<v Speaker 1>last four years of Joe Biden to paper over Arthur

19
00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:02.880
<v Speaker 1>Jefferson problems and difficulties and so you're saying, plus many

20
00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:05.280
<v Speaker 1>other conservatives, Look, we're not going to give you another

21
00:01:05.319 --> 00:01:06.959
<v Speaker 1>fifty to one hundred billion dollars.

22
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:07.799
<v Speaker 2>We don't have that.

23
00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:10.879
<v Speaker 1>We have to borrow and keep the same policies in fact,

24
00:01:10.879 --> 00:01:15.159
<v Speaker 1>that caused the La wildfires, built in a desert and grasslands.

25
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:16.400
<v Speaker 2>These things happen all the time.

26
00:01:16.439 --> 00:01:19.000
<v Speaker 1>I had a guest on yesterday who had a paper,

27
00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:23.159
<v Speaker 1>a newspaper believing on an eighteen seventy five that's when

28
00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:26.920
<v Speaker 1>Gunsmoke and Kitty and Matt was running around Dodge City

29
00:01:27.319 --> 00:01:30.480
<v Speaker 1>and they were saying, the wildfires are coming again this year.

30
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:33.439
<v Speaker 1>We've had more this year than ever before to be prepared.

31
00:01:33.719 --> 00:01:35.840
<v Speaker 1>So this has been going on for about a thousand years.

32
00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:38.840
<v Speaker 1>But to Democrats in California it's like a surprise. So

33
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:42.040
<v Speaker 1>can you tell the American people, Warren Davidson, as to

34
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:44.400
<v Speaker 1>why you want to attach strings to the idea of

35
00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:47.560
<v Speaker 1>bailing out California again on the backs of the American

36
00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:49.879
<v Speaker 1>taxpayer with borrowed money on the credit card.

37
00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:51.959
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Look, we.

38
00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:54.760
<v Speaker 4>Should be clear who do the strings apply to. Well,

39
00:01:54.760 --> 00:01:56.920
<v Speaker 4>you don't just apply to the families. They're going to

40
00:01:56.959 --> 00:02:00.719
<v Speaker 4>get taken care of. Unlike Joe Biden, who's said, oh, well,

41
00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:03.400
<v Speaker 4>if you've got a MAGA sign outside, our workers might

42
00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:05.599
<v Speaker 4>not feel safe. We're not going to go help the

43
00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:08.879
<v Speaker 4>people in Florida or North Carolina. As we speak, they're

44
00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:11.719
<v Speaker 4>kicking people out of temporary housing in the cold in

45
00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:12.639
<v Speaker 4>North Carolina.

46
00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:14.439
<v Speaker 3>They're doing a terrible job.

47
00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:17.520
<v Speaker 4>So for the individuals and families who've been wrecked, yeah,

48
00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:19.800
<v Speaker 4>we're going to take care of them. Neighbors, take care

49
00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:22.479
<v Speaker 4>of neighbors. That's part of our disaster relief program. But

50
00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:25.800
<v Speaker 4>the reality is the government at California has made a

51
00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:27.840
<v Speaker 4>bad problem worse. We know they're going to be fires,

52
00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:30.719
<v Speaker 4>but you kind of count on there being water to

53
00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:33.400
<v Speaker 4>put the fires out with. They got reservoirs. They're just

54
00:02:33.479 --> 00:02:35.319
<v Speaker 4>running all the water out to the ocean. Even the

55
00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:37.879
<v Speaker 4>firefighters are sitting there going, I don't know, I don't

56
00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:39.840
<v Speaker 4>run the water plan. I go to the fire hiding

57
00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:41.919
<v Speaker 4>and we're counting on there be of water. You know,

58
00:02:41.960 --> 00:02:44.719
<v Speaker 4>they literally gave an interview there like that. So that's

59
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:48.240
<v Speaker 4>how bad things are broken down in LA. And you know,

60
00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:52.039
<v Speaker 4>Donald Trump tried to change their water management policies in

61
00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:53.919
<v Speaker 4>his first term in California.

62
00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:55.439
<v Speaker 3>Sued to be able to keep.

63
00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:58.159
<v Speaker 4>Running the water out to protect some endangered you know,

64
00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:02.719
<v Speaker 4>tadpole or something. And so meanwhile the people have no

65
00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:05.439
<v Speaker 4>water and the firefighters have no water. So I think

66
00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:07.159
<v Speaker 4>it's reasonable to say, hey, if we're going to help

67
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:10.120
<v Speaker 4>the government of California, we want you to change your policies.

68
00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:12.159
<v Speaker 4>We think maybe, I don't know how some fire breaks

69
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:15.039
<v Speaker 4>around areas and so have some water neighborhood, you might

70
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:18.120
<v Speaker 4>want to put a fire break around, have the brush

71
00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:20.360
<v Speaker 4>go right up next to the woodhouses, keep a little

72
00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:23.080
<v Speaker 4>bit of stuff out here, and then you know, it

73
00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:24.800
<v Speaker 4>seems reasonable to have insurance.

74
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:26.560
<v Speaker 3>So the insurance companies.

75
00:03:26.240 --> 00:03:30.520
<v Speaker 4>Tried to tell everybody, hey, there's a greater risk of fires,

76
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:34.319
<v Speaker 4>and the climate change climatologists sell, we have to more

77
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:36.639
<v Speaker 4>climate change, we have to all these problems, and they're

78
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:39.879
<v Speaker 4>getting more frequent and more expensive. And the insurance companies say, okay,

79
00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:41.840
<v Speaker 4>sure will reserve for that. And they're well, you can't

80
00:03:41.879 --> 00:03:45.879
<v Speaker 4>raise prices. Let's review how insurance works. So if there's

81
00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:49.000
<v Speaker 4>more risk, then the prices have to be higher. That's

82
00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:52.560
<v Speaker 4>how insurance works. And so the government of California put

83
00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:54.759
<v Speaker 4>some laws in a couple of years ago that said

84
00:03:55.039 --> 00:03:58.199
<v Speaker 4>you can't raise the rates and so lo and behold

85
00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:02.199
<v Speaker 4>the insurance companies like State farm like USAA Farmers, all

86
00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:05.599
<v Speaker 4>these big insurance companies started leaving the state and not

87
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:09.120
<v Speaker 4>issuing fire policies because they couldn't charge higher rates and

88
00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:11.159
<v Speaker 4>this we're not going to go bankrupt for you. And

89
00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:13.439
<v Speaker 4>somehow they're the band guys like, well they were sounding

90
00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:16.519
<v Speaker 4>the alarm, So maybe fix the insurance program so that

91
00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:20.079
<v Speaker 4>homeowners can have fire insurance in California. So those are

92
00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:22.319
<v Speaker 4>the kinds of strings we're attached and who they're attached

93
00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:23.279
<v Speaker 4>to is the government.

94
00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:26.120
<v Speaker 1>Well what happens if they say no, because you know,

95
00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:30.079
<v Speaker 1>some have proposed, like Tony Bender, actual federal takeover of

96
00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:33.079
<v Speaker 1>the state of California, like consider it a failed state.

97
00:04:33.399 --> 00:04:34.240
<v Speaker 2>It can't function.

98
00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:37.839
<v Speaker 1>They have the gargoyles like Nancy Pelosi and Gavin Newsom

99
00:04:37.839 --> 00:04:41.000
<v Speaker 1>and Karen Bass and Adam Schiffless and Jerry Brown running

100
00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:41.439
<v Speaker 1>things there.

101
00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:42.959
<v Speaker 2>And it's a terrible place to live.

102
00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:46.319
<v Speaker 1>The taxes are high, confiscatory rules and regulations mean you

103
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:48.920
<v Speaker 1>can't do anything, you can't move, It takes five years

104
00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:50.800
<v Speaker 1>to get a housing permit, and now you have one

105
00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:53.160
<v Speaker 1>hundred thousand homeless people. On top of the other one

106
00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:56.120
<v Speaker 1>hundred thousand homeless people that are drug addicts. So what

107
00:04:56.160 --> 00:04:58.399
<v Speaker 1>do you do when the Nancy Pelosis and the Gavin

108
00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:01.199
<v Speaker 1>Nusses and the Karen Basses and the So wait a minute,

109
00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:02.920
<v Speaker 1>we're not gonna have any strings attached.

110
00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:05.079
<v Speaker 2>That's our money. We send it to Washington and we

111
00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:05.639
<v Speaker 2>want it back.

112
00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:08.199
<v Speaker 1>Well, you stand firm like a tenfold bacon in the

113
00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:10.560
<v Speaker 1>night and say you don't get any more taxpayer money

114
00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:13.160
<v Speaker 1>until you reform. And if they don't reform, do you

115
00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:14.759
<v Speaker 1>have the guts not to send the money?

116
00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:16.759
<v Speaker 3>Oh? Absolutely?

117
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:19.639
<v Speaker 4>And the reality is, look, you can't succeed. We already

118
00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:22.519
<v Speaker 4>fought a civil war over that. We haven't decided whether

119
00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:26.240
<v Speaker 4>we can excommunicate anybody yet. But you know, we're good

120
00:05:26.279 --> 00:05:29.279
<v Speaker 4>with California. It's a beautiful place. It is poorly governed.

121
00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:31.600
<v Speaker 4>And the reality is, if you think the place is

122
00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:35.839
<v Speaker 4>poorly governed, then move but leave the terrible ideas that

123
00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:38.720
<v Speaker 4>made it poorly governed in California and come be part

124
00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:40.680
<v Speaker 4>of a better government in Ohio.

125
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:42.959
<v Speaker 3>For example, we'd love to have a lot of the

126
00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:44.279
<v Speaker 3>businesses and investment.

127
00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:46.920
<v Speaker 4>They don't just go to Texas, come to Ohio, but

128
00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:49.480
<v Speaker 4>leave the crazy ideas out there in California.

129
00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:52.800
<v Speaker 1>It's awful. In fact, I'm watching MSNBC last night, so

130
00:05:52.920 --> 00:05:55.360
<v Speaker 1>you don't have to. I didn't know this, but there's

131
00:05:55.399 --> 00:05:59.279
<v Speaker 1>an endangered bush, I said, I only thought smelt or

132
00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:03.040
<v Speaker 1>salmon were in there's an endangered bush. That was some

133
00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:08.279
<v Speaker 1>agrarian type sued these federal government EPA. They wanted to,

134
00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:10.759
<v Speaker 1>of course create a new reservoir over there about three

135
00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:15.079
<v Speaker 1>years ago. And because there was an endangered bush that

136
00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:17.600
<v Speaker 1>federal courts. It has been held up now for three

137
00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:21.319
<v Speaker 1>years because of a bush. What about an endangered bush

138
00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:24.839
<v Speaker 1>and the smeltfish spawning? Should we be concerned about that

139
00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:27.879
<v Speaker 1>or should we care more about five hundred billion dollars

140
00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:30.560
<v Speaker 1>in damages, About one hundred people are dead, one hundred

141
00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:33.439
<v Speaker 1>thousand people are homeless. Do you care more about schmelt

142
00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:35.680
<v Speaker 1>and bush or do you care more about people? That's

143
00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:36.240
<v Speaker 1>my question.

144
00:06:37.480 --> 00:06:39.680
<v Speaker 4>Well, that's the same thing, like, that's why we have

145
00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:43.160
<v Speaker 4>better policies in Ohio. And look, Gavin Newsom those that

146
00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:45.800
<v Speaker 4>it's crazy because he's already said he's gonna wave the

147
00:06:45.879 --> 00:06:49.040
<v Speaker 4>rebuilding process so they can rebuild faster.

148
00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:51.160
<v Speaker 3>Well, you know that they put.

149
00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:53.800
<v Speaker 4>All this stuff in place to make it almost impossible

150
00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:57.879
<v Speaker 4>to do anything new out there in California, and it's

151
00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:02.319
<v Speaker 4>hurt the people talk about inflation. The median home price

152
00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:04.839
<v Speaker 4>for this area that's destroyed in the Palace is three

153
00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:07.360
<v Speaker 4>and a half million dollars. Yeah, a median home price

154
00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:10.439
<v Speaker 4>in our area is a two hundred thousand or so.

155
00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:13.639
<v Speaker 4>H So you know you've got you've got a in

156
00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:15.920
<v Speaker 4>good luck finding those right now in the market, because

157
00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:17.480
<v Speaker 4>they say that's the media and you're like, I don't

158
00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:19.800
<v Speaker 4>know where those are at in the market. Uh, because

159
00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:21.560
<v Speaker 4>you find a lot of people are seeing a lot

160
00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:24.279
<v Speaker 4>of housing inflation in Ohio. Well, they've had huge inflation

161
00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:26.199
<v Speaker 4>out there because the builders can't build.

162
00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:26.959
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

163
00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:30.079
<v Speaker 4>So they know that if they're gonna see rebuilding, oh,

164
00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:32.759
<v Speaker 4>they're gonna have to wave up the permit. And they'll say, oh, well,

165
00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:34.879
<v Speaker 4>there's an endangered shrub or there's a you know, we

166
00:07:35.279 --> 00:07:35.839
<v Speaker 4>got a bush.

167
00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:40.040
<v Speaker 1>It we've got an endangered bush. Bush is endangered bush?

168
00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:43.000
<v Speaker 1>What there's I'm looking at this bush that was part

169
00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:44.879
<v Speaker 1>of this lawsuit. It looked like a little shrub with

170
00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:48.480
<v Speaker 1>no leaves on it, but it's endangered because there's hummingbirds

171
00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:51.120
<v Speaker 1>that fly onto the branches and they mate on the

172
00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:54.199
<v Speaker 1>branches of the bush and drop whatever it is they drop,

173
00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:57.879
<v Speaker 1>and then that's how hummingbirds mate and that's why the.

174
00:07:57.800 --> 00:08:00.480
<v Speaker 3>Bushes and the people what the people, Well, we got

175
00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:00.839
<v Speaker 3>to have this.

176
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:03.319
<v Speaker 4>Look, we have the National Training Center out there where

177
00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:05.560
<v Speaker 4>it's a big, big area out in the desert and

178
00:08:06.399 --> 00:08:08.639
<v Speaker 4>it's a great place to train with you know, tanks

179
00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:10.720
<v Speaker 4>and armor and all that stuff. So you know, as

180
00:08:10.759 --> 00:08:12.240
<v Speaker 4>an army go out there and you have these big

181
00:08:12.279 --> 00:08:14.680
<v Speaker 4>areas that are no go zones because they've got protected

182
00:08:14.759 --> 00:08:17.560
<v Speaker 4>habitat and it's a training center. Like we're out here

183
00:08:17.600 --> 00:08:20.040
<v Speaker 4>blowing stuff up and shooting live amma.

184
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:21.079
<v Speaker 3>And they're like, well, well don't, don't.

185
00:08:21.160 --> 00:08:23.360
<v Speaker 4>Don't do it over here because we got some endangered

186
00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:25.519
<v Speaker 4>you know, shrubs or whatever.

187
00:08:25.879 --> 00:08:28.959
<v Speaker 1>Another one of the things was it was a spotted cockroach.

188
00:08:29.839 --> 00:08:32.480
<v Speaker 1>There were certain parts of that. No, I'm serious, it's

189
00:08:32.480 --> 00:08:36.279
<v Speaker 1>a spotted cockroach that's endangered. You take a cockroach, a

190
00:08:36.360 --> 00:08:39.720
<v Speaker 1>bush and a shmelt that's controlling California, and I'm thinking,

191
00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:42.000
<v Speaker 1>what the hell's going on? And so you're saying to

192
00:08:42.039 --> 00:08:44.879
<v Speaker 1>me that when Adam Shiftless and Karen Bass and Gavin

193
00:08:44.919 --> 00:08:48.320
<v Speaker 1>Knews of Nancy Pelosi all sady to you, Warren Davidson.

194
00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:50.399
<v Speaker 1>You know what, We're not going to change. This isn't

195
00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:53.519
<v Speaker 1>a federal takeover of the Panacea, the glories of the

196
00:08:53.799 --> 00:08:56.440
<v Speaker 1>of the golden state of California, which is now below

197
00:08:56.519 --> 00:09:00.480
<v Speaker 1>the bronze age. And somebody's got to get the Coyone says, hey, Okay,

198
00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:02.519
<v Speaker 1>if you don't change, we're not going to give you

199
00:09:02.519 --> 00:09:03.039
<v Speaker 1>our money.

200
00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:03.960
<v Speaker 2>Does that make sense?

201
00:09:04.879 --> 00:09:07.919
<v Speaker 4>Well, what I like better, Bill, is I like sending

202
00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:10.960
<v Speaker 4>them the money with the strings attached, so that the

203
00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:14.480
<v Speaker 4>citizens of California know the only barrier to them having

204
00:09:14.519 --> 00:09:17.840
<v Speaker 4>the money is the government complying with the strings attached.

205
00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:20.039
<v Speaker 4>It's like, no, it's waiting there. And then you put

206
00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:23.559
<v Speaker 4>pressure on Gavin Newsom to change. You put Karen Bass

207
00:09:23.679 --> 00:09:26.720
<v Speaker 4>wasn't even in the city, not very sympathetic. When she

208
00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:29.720
<v Speaker 4>comes back now basically says, it's not my problem and

209
00:09:29.759 --> 00:09:32.519
<v Speaker 4>you only hate me because I'm a minority. Well, her

210
00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:35.360
<v Speaker 4>rival in the race owns a big shopping center and

211
00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:38.120
<v Speaker 4>he protected it, and they're mad at him for protecting

212
00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:41.679
<v Speaker 4>his shopping center while hiring private firefighters and using water

213
00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:44.519
<v Speaker 4>to protect his property.

214
00:09:44.840 --> 00:09:47.240
<v Speaker 3>And it's like, well, you crazy people like you could.

215
00:09:47.039 --> 00:09:49.480
<v Speaker 4>Have hired that guy to be your mayor, and maybe

216
00:09:49.559 --> 00:09:53.080
<v Speaker 4>instead of having a fire that's zero percent contained, it

217
00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:55.080
<v Speaker 4>could have been prevented or at least be you know,

218
00:09:55.399 --> 00:10:00.440
<v Speaker 4>mostly contained, some mitigation, fewer things destroyed, fewer lies loss,

219
00:10:00.440 --> 00:10:01.879
<v Speaker 4>maybe even no lives loss.

220
00:10:02.159 --> 00:10:05.159
<v Speaker 3>So you know, at some point, you know, I don't know.

221
00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:08.440
<v Speaker 4>You know, one of my good friends came to Christian

222
00:10:08.440 --> 00:10:10.240
<v Speaker 4>faith later in life. He says, you know, God will

223
00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:12.720
<v Speaker 4>bring you the easiest way you'll go. He's unfortunately my

224
00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:15.919
<v Speaker 4>way is pretty rough, and maybe that's the way for California,

225
00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:18.080
<v Speaker 4>you know. Megan Kelly says that a lot of her

226
00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:22.720
<v Speaker 4>formerly woke friends are now talking about voting Republican because

227
00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:24.720
<v Speaker 4>they're done with all the insanity out there.

228
00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:26.039
<v Speaker 3>Maybe that's what it takes.

229
00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:29.240
<v Speaker 1>Well, I'm watching this interview of the of the person,

230
00:10:29.279 --> 00:10:31.759
<v Speaker 1>a woman about thirty five years old from the Stamford

231
00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:35.120
<v Speaker 1>Women's Studies Department. She has advanced degrees in women's studies.

232
00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:38.279
<v Speaker 1>She's now in charge of water in southern California. She makes,

233
00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:41.080
<v Speaker 1>believe it or not, Warren Davidson seven hundred and fifty

234
00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:43.919
<v Speaker 1>thousand dollars a year to control water, and she gave

235
00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:46.679
<v Speaker 1>repeated interviews three years ago when she was appointed by

236
00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:50.679
<v Speaker 1>Gavin Newsom that her main job will be diversity, equity

237
00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:54.399
<v Speaker 1>and inclusion, to bring DEI principles to the water system

238
00:10:54.600 --> 00:10:57.200
<v Speaker 1>and the state of California, and to hire people that

239
00:10:57.279 --> 00:11:00.480
<v Speaker 1>look like her. Now I thought that was racialists crimination.

240
00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:03.679
<v Speaker 1>Maybe it isn't. But the woman in charge of water

241
00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:07.480
<v Speaker 1>claims her number one job is to bring diversity, equity

242
00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:08.600
<v Speaker 1>and inclusion to water.

243
00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:10.720
<v Speaker 2>It's like I've lost my mind.

244
00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:16.639
<v Speaker 4>You know, just as insane are current and soon departing

245
00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:19.559
<v Speaker 4>Secretary of Defense thinks the most important risk for the

246
00:11:19.600 --> 00:11:21.480
<v Speaker 4>Department of Defense is climate change.

247
00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:24.120
<v Speaker 3>I mean, you know this mindset it is.

248
00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:28.919
<v Speaker 4>It is essentially a religion, you know, climatology. They've worshiped something.

249
00:11:29.080 --> 00:11:33.480
<v Speaker 4>It's it's crazy what they believe. And it is invasive.

250
00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:36.960
<v Speaker 4>Talk about an invasive species. You know a lot of

251
00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:39.759
<v Speaker 4>musk labeled at the woke mine virus and it's spread

252
00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:40.120
<v Speaker 4>like that.

253
00:11:40.559 --> 00:11:42.320
<v Speaker 3>We have to beat it back. And that was great

254
00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:42.600
<v Speaker 3>to see.

255
00:11:42.679 --> 00:11:46.519
<v Speaker 4>Yesterday you got Pete Hegseth doing hearings in the Senate

256
00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:48.399
<v Speaker 4>trying to get confirmed so that you could have the

257
00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:50.600
<v Speaker 4>military be focused on you know, the reason we have

258
00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:53.240
<v Speaker 4>a military being combat ready able to fight and win

259
00:11:53.279 --> 00:11:55.960
<v Speaker 4>a war. What about a crazy thing having the water

260
00:11:56.039 --> 00:11:58.720
<v Speaker 4>department have water for the people.

261
00:11:59.759 --> 00:12:02.000
<v Speaker 3>You know, So there are things like this that just

262
00:12:02.120 --> 00:12:02.679
<v Speaker 3>makes sense.

263
00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:05.159
<v Speaker 4>And I think that's just the real The theme of

264
00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:09.080
<v Speaker 4>Trump's second term is pretty basic, just common sense, I mean,

265
00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:12.519
<v Speaker 4>just less restore sanity. And you know, Sara Huckaby Sanders

266
00:12:12.519 --> 00:12:14.519
<v Speaker 4>a couple of years ago, when she gave the Republican

267
00:12:14.559 --> 00:12:18.639
<v Speaker 4>rebuttal to Joe Biden's failed State of the Union, was

268
00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:21.320
<v Speaker 4>basically like, the dividing line in the country is no

269
00:12:21.360 --> 00:12:23.000
<v Speaker 4>longer Republican versus Democrats.

270
00:12:23.039 --> 00:12:24.480
<v Speaker 3>It's normal versus crazy.

271
00:12:25.559 --> 00:12:25.919
<v Speaker 2>It is.

272
00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:28.000
<v Speaker 1>Let's go on two or three other issues we talk

273
00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:30.679
<v Speaker 1>about this, And I got all fired up when I

274
00:12:30.679 --> 00:12:33.600
<v Speaker 1>watched Lloyd Austin and Mark Millie, chairman of the Joint

275
00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:37.080
<v Speaker 1>chiefs now gone and thank god Lloyd Austin is gone.

276
00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:39.120
<v Speaker 1>They said, the two major problems in the military is

277
00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:41.960
<v Speaker 1>number one, white supremacy. I don't see too many Ku

278
00:12:42.039 --> 00:12:46.039
<v Speaker 1>Klux Klan members wearing marine outfit. And secondly, climate change

279
00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:48.759
<v Speaker 1>and climate change mitigation. The damage that we've caused to

280
00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:51.840
<v Speaker 1>the world, having seven hundred military bases in one hundred

281
00:12:51.840 --> 00:12:54.159
<v Speaker 1>different countries, we have to go to each military base

282
00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:57.480
<v Speaker 1>and do an assessment of the climate damage that our

283
00:12:57.559 --> 00:13:00.879
<v Speaker 1>soldiers have done in Germany, Lithuanian, whatever, and then we

284
00:13:00.919 --> 00:13:04.279
<v Speaker 1>have to mitigate in those countries the climate damage that

285
00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:07.559
<v Speaker 1>our soldiers have caused. Plus white supremacy is a big problem.

286
00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:10.159
<v Speaker 1>I see the Ku Klux Klan all over Cincinnati on

287
00:13:10.200 --> 00:13:14.200
<v Speaker 1>a regular basis. It's ridiculous. Let's get on to Greenland

288
00:13:14.519 --> 00:13:18.360
<v Speaker 1>and Canada, and of course the Panama Canal and Canada

289
00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:21.039
<v Speaker 1>announced a day or two ago the manufacturers are going

290
00:13:21.120 --> 00:13:23.759
<v Speaker 1>to start buying more products from the United States. And

291
00:13:23.799 --> 00:13:26.039
<v Speaker 1>I see at the end of last year, about two

292
00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:29.240
<v Speaker 1>weeks ago, it came out that communist red China has

293
00:13:29.320 --> 00:13:34.600
<v Speaker 1>a one trillion dollar trade surplus, which means that communist

294
00:13:34.679 --> 00:13:38.320
<v Speaker 1>red China is selling US products and we're buying nothing

295
00:13:38.600 --> 00:13:41.559
<v Speaker 1>at all from them because they won't let our products

296
00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:44.840
<v Speaker 1>into China. We let Chinese products into America. How about

297
00:13:44.840 --> 00:13:48.200
<v Speaker 1>a one trillion dollar trade surplus in favor of China

298
00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:52.320
<v Speaker 1>against the United States, which is unbelievable. And secondly, Canada

299
00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:55.360
<v Speaker 1>is now saying, because of the Trumpsters soon to seize power,

300
00:13:55.480 --> 00:13:57.840
<v Speaker 1>they're going to start buying more products from America. Can

301
00:13:57.840 --> 00:14:00.639
<v Speaker 1>you smell with the Trumpsters cooking? It's not a spot

302
00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:01.240
<v Speaker 1>of conroach.

303
00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:06.600
<v Speaker 4>No, it looks it's great because he's focusing on our hemisphere.

304
00:14:06.919 --> 00:14:10.039
<v Speaker 3>You know America first, what is what is uh close?

305
00:14:10.279 --> 00:14:10.360
<v Speaker 2>Like?

306
00:14:10.440 --> 00:14:14.120
<v Speaker 4>Securing our border is like the most basic principle of

307
00:14:14.200 --> 00:14:16.679
<v Speaker 4>national security that we control our border. And then you

308
00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:18.360
<v Speaker 4>look out it's like, well, I don't know, maybe we

309
00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:21.519
<v Speaker 4>have a good neighbor in Canada. We don't currently with Trudeau.

310
00:14:21.559 --> 00:14:26.120
<v Speaker 4>Trudeau's on his way out. Trump hasn't even taken office yet. Uh, Greenland, Hey,

311
00:14:26.159 --> 00:14:28.320
<v Speaker 4>we'd like to be part of America maybe, so I

312
00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:30.600
<v Speaker 4>think hopefully we can make a deal there that'd be great.

313
00:14:30.799 --> 00:14:34.840
<v Speaker 4>Panama Canal, Jimmy Carter mean, god, uh, you know, give

314
00:14:34.919 --> 00:14:36.840
<v Speaker 4>him rest and comfort and a welcome.

315
00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:40.120
<v Speaker 3>But you know, a terrible idea there in.

316
00:14:40.039 --> 00:14:42.919
<v Speaker 4>The Panama Canal giving that away and letting China just

317
00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:45.720
<v Speaker 4>dominate it. So they're doing that all over Central and

318
00:14:45.759 --> 00:14:49.159
<v Speaker 4>South America as well. And if we just take care

319
00:14:49.200 --> 00:14:52.639
<v Speaker 4>of close to home, then push out and go after China.

320
00:14:52.679 --> 00:14:54.720
<v Speaker 4>And I hope when Trump comes in, Look, he's already

321
00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:57.519
<v Speaker 4>loves tariffs. He can't stop talking about him. And if

322
00:14:57.519 --> 00:14:59.360
<v Speaker 4>that results in US getting rid of the income tax

323
00:14:59.399 --> 00:15:01.960
<v Speaker 4>and having a depart of external revenue. That would be

324
00:15:02.120 --> 00:15:04.360
<v Speaker 4>like one of the most epic wins in history.

325
00:15:04.720 --> 00:15:07.000
<v Speaker 3>It'll be great. But if we can use the.

326
00:15:06.960 --> 00:15:10.919
<v Speaker 4>Tariff revenue as leverage to get you know, I was

327
00:15:10.919 --> 00:15:13.960
<v Speaker 4>in manufacturing before I was in Congress. We can compete

328
00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:16.399
<v Speaker 4>against other companies, but it's not fair to compete against

329
00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:20.600
<v Speaker 4>another country. In China, there's no fair trade, there's no

330
00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:24.399
<v Speaker 4>free trade. You're competing against the Chinese Communist Party, and

331
00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:26.879
<v Speaker 4>Trump has called that out. My hope is that this

332
00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:29.080
<v Speaker 4>time he builds an alliance, so it's like, well, yeah,

333
00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:31.080
<v Speaker 4>we're going to go with twenty percent tariffs on everybody,

334
00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:33.039
<v Speaker 4>but if you help us go after China will wave

335
00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:36.360
<v Speaker 4>them for now and lastly, and then we put the

336
00:15:36.720 --> 00:15:37.960
<v Speaker 4>burden on fixing China.

337
00:15:38.120 --> 00:15:40.919
<v Speaker 1>Congressman Warren Davidson. I'm not sure the American people know this,

338
00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:44.440
<v Speaker 1>but the Communist Red Chinese control the Panama Canal. As

339
00:15:44.480 --> 00:15:48.200
<v Speaker 1>we speak that the management company Panama, knowing the reaction,

340
00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:50.840
<v Speaker 1>we might have years ago struck a deal with the

341
00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:54.360
<v Speaker 1>shijhaopeing that they're the management company for those who the

342
00:15:54.360 --> 00:15:56.320
<v Speaker 1>ships that enter the canal, and the ships that leave

343
00:15:56.360 --> 00:15:59.240
<v Speaker 1>the canal. They also provide a huge loans to expand

344
00:15:59.240 --> 00:16:01.720
<v Speaker 1>the canal, knowing that they can foreclose on it and

345
00:16:01.759 --> 00:16:04.440
<v Speaker 1>basically own the Panama Canal. And the most Americans don't

346
00:16:04.440 --> 00:16:06.399
<v Speaker 1>know that fact. Of course, you and I do. We

347
00:16:06.440 --> 00:16:11.000
<v Speaker 1>don't understand that Greenland right now is being being the

348
00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:14.080
<v Speaker 1>object to not only Russia but communist right China because

349
00:16:14.120 --> 00:16:18.039
<v Speaker 1>it is rich and exotic and unusual medals. There's about

350
00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:20.159
<v Speaker 1>forty five thousand people that live there. They want to

351
00:16:20.200 --> 00:16:22.519
<v Speaker 1>be free of Denmark, whatever the hell that means, and

352
00:16:22.559 --> 00:16:24.639
<v Speaker 1>so if they become a territory of ours, that'd be

353
00:16:24.679 --> 00:16:26.759
<v Speaker 1>a good thing and more. But I'll tell you the

354
00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:29.639
<v Speaker 1>inaugural is going to be great. Warren Davidson, thanks for

355
00:16:29.679 --> 00:16:32.919
<v Speaker 1>coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. And don't pay attention

356
00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:36.200
<v Speaker 1>to MSNBC. That has a target on your back politically,

357
00:16:36.399 --> 00:16:39.399
<v Speaker 1>because you want strings attached to money given to California

358
00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:41.799
<v Speaker 1>to reform their system of government. I doubt they're going

359
00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:44.960
<v Speaker 1>to do it, but nonetheless, at least the efforts being made.

360
00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:47.519
<v Speaker 1>Congressman Warren Davidson, thank you for coming on the Bill

361
00:16:47.559 --> 00:16:50.519
<v Speaker 1>Cunningham Show. And Congressman, you're a great American. And the

362
00:16:50.519 --> 00:16:51.960
<v Speaker 1>inaugural is going to be a great event.

363
00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:52.360
<v Speaker 2>Thank you.

364
00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:55.840
<v Speaker 3>Thanks then, God bless you and all your listeners, and.

365
00:16:55.799 --> 00:16:56.759
<v Speaker 2>God bless America.

366
