<v Speaker 3>O five Here at fifty five KRC DE talk station.

6
00:00:30.359 --> 00:00:31.239
<v Speaker 1>So I'm on Saturday.

7
00:00:31.280 --> 00:00:33.759
<v Speaker 2>It was a pleasure seeing him at the Hoodie Memorial

8
00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:36.399
<v Speaker 2>charity golf event, sending the golfers off, and I'm looking

9
00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:38.159
<v Speaker 2>forward to seeing him on Wednesday for a town hall.

10
00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:40.600
<v Speaker 2>Welcome back to the fifty five CARC Morning Show, Congressman

11
00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:41.479
<v Speaker 2>Warren Davidson.

12
00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:44.359
<v Speaker 3>Always an honor to join you, Brian, Thanks for having

13
00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:44.600
<v Speaker 3>me on.

14
00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:47.320
<v Speaker 2>It's always my pleasure and a terrific event. They raised

15
00:00:47.320 --> 00:00:49.880
<v Speaker 2>more than one hundred thousand dollars for the scholarship program

16
00:00:49.880 --> 00:00:52.320
<v Speaker 2>on Saturday at that golf event. What a wonderful thing

17
00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:54.960
<v Speaker 2>that was, and great seeing all those folks out there,

18
00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:58.200
<v Speaker 2>folks that voted for you, Congressman Davidson, and folks that hopefully,

19
00:00:58.439 --> 00:01:01.039
<v Speaker 2>with your help and the benefit of it, maybe Republican

20
00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:04.319
<v Speaker 2>Congress and Senate and Presidency might try to write the ship.

21
00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:06.599
<v Speaker 2>I woke up this morning and saw nie K just

22
00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:11.400
<v Speaker 2>tanked in trading the lowest or the worst single day

23
00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:14.439
<v Speaker 2>of trading since the fall of nineteen eighty seven. We

24
00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:18.840
<v Speaker 2>all remember that black Monday. Well, nie K with Friday's losses.

25
00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:21.359
<v Speaker 2>Couple with this mornings down like twenty five percent, and

26
00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:23.560
<v Speaker 2>then I look at the markets across the board this morning,

27
00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:26.599
<v Speaker 2>Futures trading like the S and P five hundred and

28
00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:30.159
<v Speaker 2>three percent down, Dallas looking a couple points down, Nasdak's

29
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:32.640
<v Speaker 2>looking at four and a half percent down, all across

30
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:35.599
<v Speaker 2>the board, reeling from the job numbers and the current

31
00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:37.719
<v Speaker 2>economic numbers that came out on Friday. This is a

32
00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:41.200
<v Speaker 2>global problem, and we may be talking about recession.

33
00:01:41.239 --> 00:01:46.159
<v Speaker 3>Congressman Davidson, Yeah, look, there's there's reason for alarm out there.

34
00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:48.560
<v Speaker 3>I certainly the bar market's hold up better, but you know,

35
00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:51.200
<v Speaker 3>it's been a a little bit of a disconnect from

36
00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:53.280
<v Speaker 3>some of the fundamentals we're seeing on the ground and

37
00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:56.319
<v Speaker 3>some of the market performance. I think the bigger thing

38
00:01:56.359 --> 00:01:59.280
<v Speaker 3>for average people isn't necessarily the stock market itself, but

39
00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:02.319
<v Speaker 3>it's the underlying You know, what's going on in my neighborhood,

40
00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:05.000
<v Speaker 3>and everything's gotten too expensive, and so when you look

41
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:08.479
<v Speaker 3>at that inflation, well, surely that's hit you know, the

42
00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:12.280
<v Speaker 3>asset prices, just like it has your house. Things have inflated,

43
00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:14.360
<v Speaker 3>and a lot of the reason is the distortion with

44
00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:18.080
<v Speaker 3>the federal spending. So there are consequences for all these

45
00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:22.800
<v Speaker 3>Biden Harris policies. You know, when you do the American

46
00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:26.520
<v Speaker 3>Rescue Plan, the Inflation Expansion Act, and all this Green

47
00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:30.240
<v Speaker 3>New Deal stuff, it has consequences. And unfortunately a lot

48
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:31.639
<v Speaker 3>of the rest of the world did the same kind

49
00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:32.000
<v Speaker 3>of things.

50
00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:35.479
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, without question, And you know, I guess I'd be

51
00:02:35.479 --> 00:02:37.599
<v Speaker 2>remiss if I didn't observe that we have had a

52
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:42.280
<v Speaker 2>problem with spending now over multiple different administrations, both one

53
00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:46.439
<v Speaker 2>hundred percent House and Senate Republican control, Democrat control everything

54
00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:48.960
<v Speaker 2>in between, and yet nobody has the will to cut

55
00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:51.560
<v Speaker 2>the spigot off. It just keeps getting bigger and bigger

56
00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:54.560
<v Speaker 2>and bigger and more. I mean, the two biggest growth

57
00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:58.120
<v Speaker 2>in jobs sixty five I think percent of the job growth,

58
00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:01.319
<v Speaker 2>as poor as the performance was, went to government and

59
00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:04.919
<v Speaker 2>the healthcare sector, just those two. And when you have

60
00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:08.319
<v Speaker 2>government growth, that means well, spending growth from government.

61
00:03:09.639 --> 00:03:12.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Look, you're right, neither party is great on this.

62
00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:17.039
<v Speaker 3>We didn't get thirty five trillion dollars in debt because

63
00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:19.840
<v Speaker 3>one party's bad and the other party's good. You know,

64
00:03:19.919 --> 00:03:22.719
<v Speaker 3>Republicans like to campaign, or at least not a campaign

65
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:26.840
<v Speaker 3>on a smaller, more accountable government. But if that was

66
00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:30.599
<v Speaker 3>what we only saw Republicans vote for, you would at

67
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:33.840
<v Speaker 3>least see occasionally when there are Republican majorities, we would

68
00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:37.199
<v Speaker 3>actually get a smaller government. But every single time it grows.

69
00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:39.879
<v Speaker 3>So I'm certainly hopeful that we get some reinforcements in

70
00:03:39.960 --> 00:03:41.759
<v Speaker 3>that will help us get some of this under control.

71
00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:45.039
<v Speaker 3>And you know, sadly, it may take more pain and

72
00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:48.159
<v Speaker 3>suffering before there's the will to cut anything. That's just

73
00:03:48.199 --> 00:03:52.919
<v Speaker 3>the sad reality is when we propose anything that actually cuts,

74
00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:55.800
<v Speaker 3>it seems like all the Democrats are opposed to it,

75
00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:58.879
<v Speaker 3>and there's usually a reliable thirty to seventy Republicans that

76
00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:01.919
<v Speaker 3>won't cut anything. And so you know, it's kind of

77
00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:06.400
<v Speaker 3>this big government, big business coalition, But the big government

78
00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:09.919
<v Speaker 3>coalition is big government Republicans in big government Democrats.

79
00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:14.280
<v Speaker 2>What's your reaction to Kamala Harris now being painted as

80
00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:16.920
<v Speaker 2>this moderate and all of these policies you know that

81
00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:19.439
<v Speaker 2>she has, I mean, she wanted to do Medicare for all,

82
00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:22.240
<v Speaker 2>was recently as twenty nineteen. She wanted an open border.

83
00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:26.079
<v Speaker 2>She wanted a legal path to all the illegal immigrants

84
00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:28.079
<v Speaker 2>that have crossed over the border. That's another one she's

85
00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:30.120
<v Speaker 2>trying to walk away from. They say, now she wasn't

86
00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:32.360
<v Speaker 2>even the borders are when we all know they all

87
00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:35.040
<v Speaker 2>all the mainstream media labeled her as such. The administration

88
00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:37.399
<v Speaker 2>even labeled her as such. I mean, can can we

89
00:04:37.480 --> 00:04:40.160
<v Speaker 2>be whitewashed to this extent? Do you think this is

90
00:04:40.199 --> 00:04:43.240
<v Speaker 2>really gonna you know that their efforts to repaint her

91
00:04:43.279 --> 00:04:45.279
<v Speaker 2>as something she is clearly not are going to have

92
00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:48.759
<v Speaker 2>any success. Congressman Davidson, Well.

93
00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:50.680
<v Speaker 3>You want to say, there ain't no way, right, There's

94
00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:52.319
<v Speaker 3>no way people are going to buy this. But then

95
00:04:52.319 --> 00:04:55.319
<v Speaker 3>I go back to like COVID and people told everyone

96
00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:58.079
<v Speaker 3>to be scared, so they were scared. COVID told everyone

97
00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:00.839
<v Speaker 3>to not trust the science, but to go ahead and

98
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:02.879
<v Speaker 3>do all kinds of things that on their face were

99
00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:05.000
<v Speaker 3>kind of ridiculous. I mean, we had a ten pm

100
00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:07.920
<v Speaker 3>to five am curfew in Ohio. They're like, oh, yeah,

101
00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:10.360
<v Speaker 3>you got to support it, and I'm like, no, So

102
00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:12.720
<v Speaker 3>who knows? I mean, I hope that there are people

103
00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:15.560
<v Speaker 3>that aren't naive enough to just say oh, if you

104
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:17.959
<v Speaker 3>told me to like Tamala Harris. Well, a month ago,

105
00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:21.439
<v Speaker 3>Tamala Harris had a lower approval rating than the dementia

106
00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:26.240
<v Speaker 3>impaired Joe Biden. Now somehow she's the savior of democracy

107
00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:30.720
<v Speaker 3>and everybody. All this support is for her. I think

108
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:35.000
<v Speaker 3>it's manufactured complete, But then when they throw poles out there,

109
00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:38.439
<v Speaker 3>they say people are buying it. She had the most

110
00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:41.360
<v Speaker 3>progressive far left voting erect She was left to Bernie

111
00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:44.240
<v Speaker 3>Sanders in the United States Senate. She wanted to no

112
00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:49.279
<v Speaker 3>criminalize crossing the border illegally, plus medicare for all, including

113
00:05:49.319 --> 00:05:54.199
<v Speaker 3>illegal immigrants. I mean, radical, crazy positions that are way

114
00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:58.040
<v Speaker 3>out of step with the mainstream of America. And now

115
00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:01.199
<v Speaker 3>because she's supposed to be thee and go to the

116
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:05.199
<v Speaker 3>general election, she's some reasonable, level headed person and all

117
00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:06.800
<v Speaker 3>you have to do is pull up any clip of

118
00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:08.439
<v Speaker 3>her talking and you know that's not.

119
00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:12.439
<v Speaker 2>True without question. And yet the mainstream media is rallying

120
00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:14.639
<v Speaker 2>her support and trying to cover up this record she's

121
00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:17.279
<v Speaker 2>been hiding. Now she hasn't had a press conference or

122
00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:19.920
<v Speaker 2>directly addressed any of these questions now in two weeks.

123
00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:23.600
<v Speaker 2>That seems to me something that's got to end at

124
00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:26.879
<v Speaker 2>some point. But Joe Biden was successful in launching a

125
00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:30.279
<v Speaker 2>campaign and running a campaign from his basement during COVID.

126
00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:32.199
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, we've seen it before. Maybe it will

127
00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:33.600
<v Speaker 2>happen again with Kamala Harris.

128
00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:37.439
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Look, I mean it's a campaign, so you got

129
00:06:37.480 --> 00:06:39.800
<v Speaker 3>to get her out and see her and you have

130
00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:42.399
<v Speaker 3>people interact with her. But on the other hand, I mean,

131
00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:45.040
<v Speaker 3>she's currently the vice president, and we all know Joe

132
00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:49.120
<v Speaker 3>Biden isn't really sound. He was exposed in the June

133
00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:51.560
<v Speaker 3>twenty seventh debate with President Trump and he's been in

134
00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:55.319
<v Speaker 3>hiding effectively ever since. And in a way, you're kind

135
00:06:55.360 --> 00:06:57.399
<v Speaker 3>of like, well, yeah, I mean, don't bring him out.

136
00:06:57.480 --> 00:06:59.360
<v Speaker 3>We need the world doesn't need to see how week

137
00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:03.439
<v Speaker 3>the leadership team is in the Biden Harris administration. On

138
00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:06.120
<v Speaker 3>the other side, voters need to see that so they

139
00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:08.120
<v Speaker 3>go out and vote. And you know, I think that

140
00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:11.000
<v Speaker 3>most people are going to see through all this fake news.

141
00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:13.839
<v Speaker 3>They're not going to buy this nonsense that somehow Kamala

142
00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:16.240
<v Speaker 3>Harris wasn't the borders are we all know she was.

143
00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:19.160
<v Speaker 3>They're not going to buy the fact that she's somehow

144
00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:22.879
<v Speaker 3>reasonable on energy policy when we all know she isn't

145
00:07:23.279 --> 00:07:25.399
<v Speaker 3>We're not going to buy any of this stuff, and

146
00:07:25.560 --> 00:07:27.879
<v Speaker 3>you know, I'm confident in Southwest Ohio no one's going

147
00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:31.360
<v Speaker 3>to buy it. Frankly, I think that Sharon Brown's probably

148
00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:33.519
<v Speaker 3>more worried with Kamala Harris at the top of the

149
00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:34.959
<v Speaker 3>ticket than he was with Joe Biden.

150
00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:40.439
<v Speaker 2>Well, he has supported her policy positions in the Biden administration,

151
00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:44.480
<v Speaker 2>of course, under Biden's presidency, but nonetheless these are left

152
00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:47.680
<v Speaker 2>wing policies that, of course Kamala Harris presumably also supports,

153
00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:50.000
<v Speaker 2>at least as demonstrated by her record. So yeah, he

154
00:07:50.040 --> 00:07:52.720
<v Speaker 2>should be in trouble, and I hope he is. Do

155
00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:56.040
<v Speaker 2>we know anything about Kamala Harris relative to foreign policy?

156
00:07:56.040 --> 00:07:59.199
<v Speaker 2>As I stare at Secretary State Anthony Blincoln saying that

157
00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:03.879
<v Speaker 2>Iran and Hesbala could probably attack Israel as early as today.

158
00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:06.600
<v Speaker 2>I mean, we have basically World War three breaking out

159
00:08:06.600 --> 00:08:09.279
<v Speaker 2>in the Middle East. Russia is behind it, Iran is

160
00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:12.639
<v Speaker 2>behind it. Of course, we know about the weird geopolitical

161
00:08:12.680 --> 00:08:15.959
<v Speaker 2>realignment of Russia and China and Iran and maybe even

162
00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:18.519
<v Speaker 2>North Korea. The enemy of my enemy is my friend,

163
00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:22.040
<v Speaker 2>and ergo, they put aside their differences in a collective

164
00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:25.279
<v Speaker 2>unity to work against us. This is not looking good.

165
00:08:25.360 --> 00:08:28.959
<v Speaker 2>Can we trust a foreign policy with the Kamala Harris presidency?

166
00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:30.600
<v Speaker 1>No?

167
00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:33.919
<v Speaker 3>I mean, look, pull up anything with Kamala Harris speaking,

168
00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:37.559
<v Speaker 3>and you really want her sitting at a diplomacy table

169
00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:41.159
<v Speaker 3>talking to Shushiping or Vladimir Putin or frankly even allies.

170
00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:43.200
<v Speaker 3>You want her to sit down with Benjamin Netanyahu and

171
00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:46.759
<v Speaker 3>work out a plan. Mamad ben Solmon, he's really going

172
00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:49.039
<v Speaker 3>to sit down and talk to Kamala Harris about how

173
00:08:49.080 --> 00:08:52.360
<v Speaker 3>we can improve the stability in the Middle East. I mean,

174
00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:57.200
<v Speaker 3>she's a terrible solution to any problem, and you know,

175
00:08:57.279 --> 00:08:59.639
<v Speaker 3>I think people are going to see through it. She

176
00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:04.159
<v Speaker 3>has been more supportive of Iran policy, as have Democrats

177
00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:07.480
<v Speaker 3>ever since Barack Obama. I mean, and look, the reality is,

178
00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:09.840
<v Speaker 3>what is the path back? It's the same that they

179
00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:13.720
<v Speaker 3>did on the border in June. The Biden administration basically said, oh, yeah,

180
00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:16.480
<v Speaker 3>you can actually deny asylum claims and tell people to

181
00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:19.840
<v Speaker 3>stay in Mexico. Well, hey, guess what it works, similar

182
00:09:19.879 --> 00:09:22.919
<v Speaker 3>to when Donald Trump had the exact same policy. It

183
00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:25.240
<v Speaker 3>wasn't like a new policy. They went back to what

184
00:09:25.320 --> 00:09:28.879
<v Speaker 3>worked when Donald Trump was president and in Iran, Operation

185
00:09:29.039 --> 00:09:32.480
<v Speaker 3>Maximum Pressure was squeezing Iran. They were held at bay.

186
00:09:32.519 --> 00:09:35.000
<v Speaker 3>They weren't expanding war in the Middle East, whether it

187
00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:38.519
<v Speaker 3>was themselves or their proxies has Bla and Hamas. And

188
00:09:38.600 --> 00:09:43.399
<v Speaker 3>now the Biden Harris administrations out there reaping the consequences

189
00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:46.919
<v Speaker 3>of their Iran policy. So what would work? Tell Iran

190
00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:49.360
<v Speaker 3>the same thing that the Trump administration told them, they

191
00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:52.200
<v Speaker 3>all stay calm, or we're going to cripple your economy

192
00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:53.720
<v Speaker 3>with maximum pressure again.

193
00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:57.399
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, which seems the antithos is the Biden administration just

194
00:09:57.440 --> 00:10:00.720
<v Speaker 2>basically funneling massive quantities of cash to the Iranians. I

195
00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:04.360
<v Speaker 2>really don't quite understand that, Congressman Davison, falling into the

196
00:10:04.360 --> 00:10:05.919
<v Speaker 2>category of like the peace of God.

197
00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:09.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean, what does Iran do? I mean, it's

198
00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:12.080
<v Speaker 3>as predictable as gravity. They get cash, they attack Israel.

199
00:10:12.519 --> 00:10:13.919
<v Speaker 3>I mean that's what they do.

200
00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:17.440
<v Speaker 2>Well, let me ask you this, since we have now

201
00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:20.000
<v Speaker 2>and I don't know where you are on funding for

202
00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:22.879
<v Speaker 2>Ukraine and support of Ukraine, but it seems to me

203
00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:25.919
<v Speaker 2>this almost foolish endeavor. Here we are, multiple years into

204
00:10:25.960 --> 00:10:28.519
<v Speaker 2>this conflict, we continue to provide them with arms. And

205
00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:31.559
<v Speaker 2>now only now, after almost three years or however long

206
00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:33.440
<v Speaker 2>it's been since Russia and Vada Ukraine, we're going to

207
00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:35.559
<v Speaker 2>provide them F sixteen's that they've been asking for for

208
00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:39.039
<v Speaker 2>a long time, which have been delivered. It's almost like

209
00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:42.039
<v Speaker 2>a Chinese water torture, if I may be so bold,

210
00:10:42.080 --> 00:10:45.519
<v Speaker 2>drip drip, drip, slow drip of decision making when it

211
00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:47.600
<v Speaker 2>comes to either funding or not, as the case may be.

212
00:10:47.720 --> 00:10:51.120
<v Speaker 2>The Ukrainians, where are you on this, since you'll have

213
00:10:51.120 --> 00:10:55.080
<v Speaker 2>a say in that, you know, congressional expenditures, since you

214
00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:55.919
<v Speaker 2>have the power of the purse.

215
00:10:57.240 --> 00:11:00.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean my say has been overruled all the time.

216
00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:02.000
<v Speaker 3>I'm one of a handful of people that's voted for

217
00:11:02.039 --> 00:11:05.240
<v Speaker 3>no dollars for Ukraine. And look, I mean, I'm sympathetic

218
00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:09.519
<v Speaker 3>to them. They were unjustly invaded by Vladimir Putin and Russia.

219
00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:13.840
<v Speaker 3>But the issue is the Biden administration hasn't ever laid

220
00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:15.840
<v Speaker 3>out a mission. So I've got a bill called the

221
00:11:15.879 --> 00:11:18.519
<v Speaker 3>Define the Mission Act last summer. It only got one

222
00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:21.960
<v Speaker 3>hundred and twenty nine votes. Now it was incorporated into

223
00:11:21.960 --> 00:11:25.519
<v Speaker 3>the National Defense Authorization Act. So the thinking is growing

224
00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:28.399
<v Speaker 3>towards that way. And it makes basic sense. This used

225
00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:31.159
<v Speaker 3>to be what Colin Powell called the Pale doctrine, is, Hey,

226
00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:33.039
<v Speaker 3>before we get in a war, let's figure out what

227
00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:35.919
<v Speaker 3>we're trying to accomplish so we can hold people accountable.

228
00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:38.559
<v Speaker 3>Let's figure out how we would unwine this war. And

229
00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:40.919
<v Speaker 3>people don't agree on the mission. And if you see

230
00:11:40.919 --> 00:11:45.200
<v Speaker 3>what the Biden administrations sleep walking into a bigger war.

231
00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:50.919
<v Speaker 3>Everything they're doing seems designed to expand the war beyond

232
00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:54.919
<v Speaker 3>Ukraine and to escalate it. They won't take NATO membership,

233
00:11:55.159 --> 00:11:59.360
<v Speaker 3>EU membership off the table in Ukraine. They won't engage

234
00:11:59.360 --> 00:12:02.679
<v Speaker 3>with Putin. You would have thought that the release of

235
00:12:02.919 --> 00:12:07.279
<v Speaker 3>hostages and captives held unjustly in Russia would be a

236
00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:11.000
<v Speaker 3>point to engage with Russia more. And when Joe Biden

237
00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:12.480
<v Speaker 3>was asked about that, he said, I don't need to

238
00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:15.159
<v Speaker 3>talk to Putin. He has no interest in de escalating

239
00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:17.519
<v Speaker 3>the conflict there, and in reality is that should be

240
00:12:17.519 --> 00:12:19.840
<v Speaker 3>Our main interest is to make sure this doesn't expand

241
00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:20.759
<v Speaker 3>to a NATO country.

242
00:12:21.679 --> 00:12:23.360
<v Speaker 2>Well, and before we part company, we're going to do

243
00:12:23.399 --> 00:12:25.159
<v Speaker 2>details about the town hall event you're going to do

244
00:12:25.200 --> 00:12:28.879
<v Speaker 2>on Wednesday, but just very briefly, because all these various

245
00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:31.840
<v Speaker 2>conflicts that we face or are literally involved in. Right now,

246
00:12:32.039 --> 00:12:33.600
<v Speaker 2>we need to have a comment from here if I'd

247
00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:35.200
<v Speaker 2>like a comment, if you're in the state of America's

248
00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:38.519
<v Speaker 2>military preparedness. I know our numbers and recruiting are down,

249
00:12:38.720 --> 00:12:41.360
<v Speaker 2>and I know we are struggling. I think to provide

250
00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:43.720
<v Speaker 2>and do all these proxy wars while at the same

251
00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:46.519
<v Speaker 2>time maintain our own readiness, it seems like a recipe

252
00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:49.759
<v Speaker 2>for disaster. Congressman Davidson, you probably served your country. What's

253
00:12:49.799 --> 00:12:50.720
<v Speaker 2>your perception of this.

254
00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:55.519
<v Speaker 3>Look, leadership matters, and people are not inspired by the

255
00:12:55.720 --> 00:12:59.000
<v Speaker 3>Trent commander in chief and the leadership structure that's been

256
00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:04.320
<v Speaker 3>put in place under this administration or the policies. I mean, frankly,

257
00:13:04.679 --> 00:13:07.639
<v Speaker 3>the people like me that in frankly JD. Vans that

258
00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:10.720
<v Speaker 3>wanted to change their lives and join the military and

259
00:13:10.759 --> 00:13:13.240
<v Speaker 3>it worked. You know, so many people all over the

260
00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:16.360
<v Speaker 3>country have done that, free to join. You know, it

261
00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:20.919
<v Speaker 3>really is an opportunity unparalleled in the country and just

262
00:13:21.080 --> 00:13:25.240
<v Speaker 3>tremendous camaraderie that comes from it. You see people, you know,

263
00:13:25.399 --> 00:13:27.519
<v Speaker 3>Korean war vets walking around with their head some of

264
00:13:27.559 --> 00:13:29.559
<v Speaker 3>their military years or some of the best years of

265
00:13:29.600 --> 00:13:33.240
<v Speaker 3>their lives, and it still is. The trouble is is

266
00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:35.639
<v Speaker 3>that not only is the leadership bad at the top,

267
00:13:36.120 --> 00:13:38.759
<v Speaker 3>the policies bad. We haven't done a good enough job

268
00:13:38.799 --> 00:13:40.720
<v Speaker 3>of raising pay. I mean, it's not like the market

269
00:13:40.759 --> 00:13:44.960
<v Speaker 3>forces are at work in military pay, and we've got

270
00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:48.519
<v Speaker 3>our junior enlisted soldiers getting crushed with the cost of living.

271
00:13:48.799 --> 00:13:51.240
<v Speaker 3>And so we tried last year to raise pay for

272
00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:56.399
<v Speaker 3>junior enlisted guys men and women soldiers by over twenty

273
00:13:56.440 --> 00:13:59.440
<v Speaker 3>six percent, and that's what they need to kind of

274
00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:02.399
<v Speaker 3>keep up with where the market has moved, and unfortunately

275
00:14:02.440 --> 00:14:04.679
<v Speaker 3>we get like about a five percent pay raise. So

276
00:14:04.720 --> 00:14:06.559
<v Speaker 3>that's part of the fight this year is to get

277
00:14:06.919 --> 00:14:10.120
<v Speaker 3>I'll shout out to Mike Garcia from He's a Navy guy,

278
00:14:10.360 --> 00:14:14.600
<v Speaker 3>a fighter pilot from Los Angeles area, a Republican, and

279
00:14:14.720 --> 00:14:17.639
<v Speaker 3>he really pushed this bill and I hope we get

280
00:14:17.639 --> 00:14:20.960
<v Speaker 3>it done this year. That would help a lot with recruiting.

281
00:14:21.159 --> 00:14:22.960
<v Speaker 3>I think the last thing is, look, people join the

282
00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:26.159
<v Speaker 3>military to defend our country, not to defend some empire

283
00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:28.919
<v Speaker 3>all over the world. We could even use our military

284
00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:30.360
<v Speaker 3>to reinforce our border.

285
00:14:30.519 --> 00:14:32.679
<v Speaker 2>A amenda that Connors Warren Davidson, We're going to be seeing

286
00:14:32.679 --> 00:14:34.679
<v Speaker 2>it a town hall on Wednesday. Give him the listeners

287
00:14:34.720 --> 00:14:35.440
<v Speaker 2>of details on that.

288
00:14:36.840 --> 00:14:39.639
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, So Wednesday night at the Nathaniel Green Lodge over

289
00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:42.840
<v Speaker 3>in Green Township, just outside of Cincinnati, we're hosting a

290
00:14:42.919 --> 00:14:45.159
<v Speaker 3>town hall. We're asking people to go online and sign

291
00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:46.799
<v Speaker 3>up so we have an idea how many people are

292
00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:50.039
<v Speaker 3>going to be there, and it also helps with all

293
00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:53.440
<v Speaker 3>the preps that we do. We will take questions from everyone.

294
00:14:53.559 --> 00:14:57.000
<v Speaker 3>We'll hope to get to every question and if time permits,

295
00:14:57.039 --> 00:15:00.519
<v Speaker 3>we will and if not, you know, we'll send replies,

296
00:15:00.679 --> 00:15:04.120
<v Speaker 3>collect those questions and send replies, but really look forward

297
00:15:04.159 --> 00:15:06.960
<v Speaker 3>to it. I like the Q and A format, so

298
00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:08.840
<v Speaker 3>we're doing that. And then we're doing another town hall

299
