Speaker 1 (00:06):
Bill Cunningham, the Great American and this morning speak of Alice.
Mike Johnson went over a list of reasons why the
shutdowns should not take place, and that was rather persuasive
and at least if you're objective, But the CNN cut
out of it right in the middle when he was
getting the good part about the conversations he had with
Schumer and with the King Jeffreys. But until then, Warren

(00:27):
Davidson is a US congressman. I think the seventh or
eighth congressional district. That may change sometime soon. Congressman Warren Davidson,
And welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show this Monday afternoon.
What does the congressman do when there's a complete lockdown going.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
On, Well, you try to find a way to get
it open in some ways. But look, we passed a
bill in the House a couple of weeks ago, now
almost three weeks ago, and the Senate has had a
hard time passing it. Now they've passed it in the
sense that they've got a majority of the Senate that
wants to keep the government open. But the Senate has
their devote rule and Democrats know that, and they're trying

(01:02):
to use that every ounce of leverage they can because
they're not They're mad about the things that they lost
with you know, things that Republicans have already changed, and
they want to get back to stuff like you know,
health care for illegals, funding NPR and you know funding
you know, foreign aid, all these kinds of things that
Usaid defunded. They want to restore all those things, and

(01:24):
that's what they're shutting the government down for.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
Can you explain the California carve out? Is what that
is and why that funds illegals getting free medical care
and our expense? What is the California carve out?

Speaker 2 (01:37):
Well, it's not supposed to be done. And you know,
I shared on social media a couple weeks ago, fourteen
states they are trying to find loopholes to provide healthcare
to illegals. California has been the most overt I think
they spend like twenty three billion dollars on it. And
what they would do is say, well, we are going
to count the money that we're giving to illegals for

(01:58):
the Medicaid matching dollars. So you know, in Ohio you've
got two bat two buckets. Once the standard Medicaid and
then Obamacare kind of put a ninety ten match. So
the federal I'm going to give ninety percent of the
funds and the state gives ten percent of the funds
for the Obamacare expansion. But traditionally it was about sixty forty,

(02:18):
so you blend the two together. Most states it's seventy
thirty or so. Well, when they spend that twenty three
billion dollars, they're trying to count it as if it
was money spent for the traditional medicaid population. And we
closed that loophole when we passed the big beautiful bill
when Rousing the Trump signed it on July fourth, they're
fighting to restore it as if that didn't happen. Well,

(02:38):
these are state funds, and you know this is this
money fungible, Like, oh, okay, I promise not to use any
of the money to pay salaries if you just give
me ten million dollars for my business and you're like, yeah,
well you also don't have to buy steel for your
metal stamping companymore so, I'm just going to take all
that and give it to myself. You know that's the yeah,
But I didn't pay myself. You know this this idea.

(03:00):
They're not spending federal dollars on it, they're spending state
dollars and then taking credit for.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
It and then eventually the taxpayer pace. As far as ICE,
I'm gonna talk to you about ICE a little bit
and ICE's operations here in Hamilton County, Butler County. Is
it in northern Kentucky. It's rather quiet. There's not much
media coverage of ICE arresting people that shouldn't be here
and put them in the Boone County or the Butler
County jail away you go. So this morning, two or

(03:24):
three hours ago, I watched Brandon Johnson, the mayor of
Chicago that has this seven percent approval rating, and that's
among Democrats in Chicago, is seven percent approval rating, ordering
ICE out of the city of Chicago and demanding the
ICE release all the detainees and the so called prisoners
ICE has. And over the weekend there was ten vehicles

(03:45):
that got around the vehicles operated by ICE, and there
was actual fisticuffs and shootings taking place, complete chaos, and
the Chicago police were turned We're told to stand down.
I watched the transcripts this morning on one of the
Chicago stations where the Ice officers are calling for assistance.
We need help, We're surrounded, shots fired, and Chicago police

(04:08):
were told to stand down, which is something the Chicago
Police union had about two hours ago, said, this cannot
happen in our city. When law enforcement needs help, we
respond because the FBI, the Department of Justice, the the ATF,
the US Marshall Service. When a call goes out to the
Chicago Police needs help, they come to help their fellow officers.

(04:31):
How dangerous is it when a mayor of a major
American city refuses to allow federal law enforcement to do
its job and secondly demands that their employees not help
Ice who are under attack.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
Well, it's an all in commitment to be in a
sanctuary city. You know. They opened their they opened the
city and said, look, Chicago's already a great place for
your crime racket, but come here and we'll keep you safe.
And they're continuing to do that safe. The cartels the
base out of Chicago to run their criminal operations, and yeah, okay,

(05:07):
everybody else illegal maybe who just came there to did
a good job. But think of this. You can't have
like every city in America decide who's as citizen. That's
only federal And then when you try to get the
federal government, try to get local authorities to help you
get people trying to stop Sheriff Jones from Oh, this
is a this is a federal issue. You can't use

(05:27):
county resources to go after people. Well, that's the kind
of thing we should be seeing is full cooperation to
get after the people that are in our country illegally
and break in our laws. But Chicago's gone the exact
other way and become complete accomplices to try to resist
the federal government enforcing the clear statute, the clear jurisdiction
of the federal government. And it's going to have no effect.

(05:49):
Brandon Johnson can say it, but Ice is going to
be there. And if the Chicago PDE won't provide security,
We're just going to send more federal firepower into Chicago
to revide security.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
Wow. And so this is chaos. I reflect back to
a twenty year period when the Democrats are in charge
of government in the South, and the Democrats in the
South refuse to enforce federal law dealing with discrimination of
African Americans. In fact, it took the federal troops to
stand in the Doorway against Governor Wallace and against Oral

(06:23):
Fabis in Arkansas so that black kids could go to
public school. And the Democrats of that era said, federal
law doesn't apply here. We're going to do what we want. You, Feds,
get the hell out of town. Here we are fifty
or sixty years later, and guess what the same Democratic
Party is now saying it's Chicago, Portland, Los Angeles, not
yet Cincinnati, that federal law doesn't apply here and therefore

(06:45):
get out of Dodge. Do you see the consistency between
what happened in the nineteen fifties and sixties in the
South by the Democrats what the Democrats are doing here now.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
Yeah? And I think the courts are going to see
it as well. Despite this looney federal judge in Portland,
it's basically saying that, you know, President Trump has no
jurisdiction in Portland. It's like, well, I'm pretty sure it's
still part of America. Uh. And the only reason we
we have ice again is federal law. So in portland's
the same kind of thing. You've got a tax on

(07:16):
ice agents, you've got a tax on federal facilities, and
they need more security and instead of the local law
enforcement providing it and helping. They're standing down and at
the order of local elected officials. So President Trump said, hey,
we need National Guard to just provide security for our
people while they do the law enforcement work. And you know,

(07:38):
we're trying to have that fight with the courts, and
this goes to the judges. You know, the judges are
deciding they're unelected, but they're going to try to rule
the country.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
It's it's sad and and what's happening there. I imagine
this thing is going to come to a head the
next few weeks. And thank god, you know, fall and
winter are coming. Things are calm down, but the lawlessness.
And secondly, I've seen these YouTube videos of the hundreds
of millions of dollars coming from Iran, from China and
from so called foundations George Soros types in which they

(08:11):
fund the protest. This one YouTube video has the same
fifty to sixty people dressed in different garb, but they're
the same people protesting Trump, protesting Ice, they're protesting Gaza.
They're professional protesters. They show up looking a certain way
with similar masks on and loud speakers, and the same

(08:32):
crew is on several of these different fronts protesting in
major cities, the same people and some of the others.
Some of the journalists talk to these individuals, they refuse
to discuss who funds them? How do you live? How
do you have time to protest all day? Well, the
fact of the matter is George Soros and others in
those groups are funding these protests. It's called crowds on demand,

(08:56):
in which they're paid millions of dollars to fly these
protesters around the get on different garb, but could be
u in favor of African American causes, it could be
in favor of Gosins, could be in favor of Iran,
it could be in favor of Mexico, and the same
hundreds of people are flowing around the country, given signs
and told the protests. How about looking into that, Congressman,

(09:18):
because that is not the way things ought to be.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
Exactly what we're doing with the follow of the money action,
you know FINS and Financial Crimes Enforcement Network that collects
the financial intligence and we're we're gathering that, we're making
sure we share it with law enforcement, and then we
got to get DJ to start bringing the cases. And look,
I've been encouraged by Steven Miller talking about how we're
going to use a full on effort to go after
these groups. And you know, the groups are you know,

(09:45):
sort of agitated, they're paid agitated. We know where the
money's coming from in some cases, some cases we're still
doing the investigations. Is where's dj We need Pam Bondi
to get you know, into high gear here and get
after some of these guys. But the other part is
that's really sad. Well, that part's crazy. And you know,
on a certain level, a lot of our people across
the political spectrum kind of acknowledge at some level it's crazy,

(10:08):
but they won't speak out. The far left is found
a home for se condemning this, and when it's time
to go vote, they're going to go vote for it.
Look at the Virginia Attorney General's race where this guy's
literally crafting messaging saying, oh, you know, I'm imagining just
you know, bullets in the head of my opponents and

(10:29):
things like that, and when one of his Democrat colleagues
pushes back on him, he's doubling down on it and
no apology nothing. In fact, party in Virginia is doubling
down and back in the guy, the Virginia candidate, you know,
for governor, doubling down and backing them up on it.
And so you know this kind of radical, crazy ideology.

(10:50):
So goes back to Sarah huckeby Sanders, normal versus crazy
and crazy sound a bit home on the left.

Speaker 1 (10:57):
Well, the Virginia this is the law enforcement officer and
the Commonwealth of Virginia in which two years ago. This
wasn't when he was in college and a clown drunk,
this was two years ago. He urged that two bullets
to be put in the head of the Speaker of
the House in the Virginia Assembly. He also wanted the
wife of the Speaker of the House to hold the

(11:18):
bloody dead bodies of her children in her arms, and
he put that in print, shared that on social media
now this morning or Sunday yesterday. He apologized saying, you know,
I shouldn't have been so I was wrong to do that,
and I'm sorry I shouldn't have done that. But we're
talking about a forty two year old man urging on
social media that some nut job put two bullets in

(11:41):
the head of the Speaker of the House in Virginia
and kill his children so his seat is eliminated from
the earth, and that the mother, his wife, hold the
bodies of her dead, bleeding children. And he put that
in print. And now the election, it's unbelievable.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
Yeah, this isn't just some random guy. He's the guy
Democrats are running to be the attorney general for the
state of Virginia. I mean, it's crazy. And so you go, well,
why aren't the left enforcing the laws. Well, they're electing
people like this, you know, they're electing people that believe
all this stuff. And so while you're back home thinking, well, look,

(12:18):
I'm a Democrat. I mean, I don't believe all these
crazy things. I think this is hyperbole. The Republicans are
just spinning this up. No, look at the candidates that
you're electing this guy in Virginia. There are my colleagues
who share these same kinds of views. And it's just
that's where we're at, normal versus crazy, And we need

(12:41):
people around the country to say we're staying away from
the crazy people and we're going to enforce the laws.
You can't have every city in the country decide who's
a citizen and then they get an obstruct federal law
enforcement for just enforcing immigration law.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
You know the guy's name. The guy's name is Jay Jones,
and he's kind of on the defensive. But early voting
starts today in Virginia, and the Democratic gubernatorial candidates she
wants him to continue in the race. The Attorney General's
Associations in America said he's got to step down. You
can't urge that your political opponents be shot and their

(13:19):
children be butchered and put the bloody babies in your
mother's arms to die. You can't have that person in
charge of law enforcement. Two bullets in the head is
what he referred to, and also the dying children in
the mother's arms, the wife of the guy who's running
against And of course I don't think Jay Jones going
to go out and kill people. But the problem is

(13:41):
on the left, there's crazies everywhere, like the one who
shocked Charlie Kirk and also the one who tried to
kill Brett Kavanall. There's crazies everywhere that read this stuff
as if it's real as a call to action to
kill the current Attorney general in Virginia, who's the Republican.
The call to action is to kill him It's like,
what and this has not caused more difficulties for him

(14:04):
in the race. I find this unbelievable, Warren.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
I mean, we'll see, hopefully the good people of Virginia
will make the right decision. And look, the mayor of
Chicago's already got no approval rating. The question is, how
does a guy get elected with zero approval rating or
I guess seven percent of number, but you know, some
some level of positive approval rating. But you know, this
is the total illustration in blue city after blue city

(14:29):
around the country. You know, Donald Trump said it in
his first campaign and it's still so true. What the
heck do you have to lose? You know? And hopefully
people will wake up and say, yeah, you know, maybe
we should try a different approach and just fundamental civilization.
Don't hurt people, don't take their stuff. The part is,

(14:50):
don't tolerate people that will do those things. Now that's
worth the law.

Speaker 1 (14:55):
On a novel concept. Lastly, the lines are being redrawn
as I speak. Smart money says that Greg Lansman's going
to be positioned out where are you on reapportionment of
your district? Right now? You have a little bit of
Hamlin County. Smart money tells me they're going to take
I seventy five west and east and you're going to
come down to western Hamlin County. What do you know

(15:16):
about that, if anything.

Speaker 2 (15:18):
Well, I don't know for sure. I've seen about seven
or eight versions of the map. And you know, without
saying when we updated our constitution back in twenty eighteen,
without saying the word Cincinnati, he said, you can't split Cincinnati.
It used to be split between at the time brad
winstripped and Steve Shabbitt, and then when you had it
all drawn together. Of course, Greg Lansman meet Steve Shabbitt,

(15:39):
and Shabbit longtime represented the west side. But because of
that shrift, you know, I've had a good fortune to
represent the west side except for del High. Everything that's
not in the city west of seventy five is in
the eighth district. Now, who knows where it'll change. You know,
some people think that, you know, we went from twelve

(16:00):
twelve Republicans and four Democrats in the last redraw, that
we should have held twelve and Democrats probably should have
lost one. Most people think that means you'll have one
in Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati but there are people that
really believe we might even be able to change it
more than that. Right now, that's in the hands of
the Redistricting Commission. That's one Republican, one Democrat from the House,

(16:21):
one Republican, one Democrat from the Senate, the governor of
the Secretary of State, and the auditor, and they're supposed
to present something by the end of the month, and
we'll see where it goes from there.

Speaker 1 (16:30):
All right, let's see what happens. So I followed the
Illinois rule, in which there are seventeen congressional seats in
Illinois and fifteen of the seventeen are Democrats. So I
would follow the Illinois rule, which has been in effect
for a long time. Bring the Illinois rule to Ohio
and make it thirteen to two. That's my vote. But
Warren Davidson, you're a great American. Thanks for coming on

(16:51):
the Bill Cunningham Show. And please stay safe out there
on the campaign trail with so many Democrats calling for
injury and debt to those they disagree with. But Davidson,
thank you very much.

Speaker 2 (17:02):
Thanks always an honor. Pray for peace and God bless
you and all your listeners.

Speaker 1 (17:06):
And God bless America. Let's continue with more news coming
up next. And we have an attorney general and the
great State of Virginia urging that his political opponents be
shot in the head and that his wife, the mother
of his two babies, hold their bloody, dying bodies, and
that passes for political discourse. Bill Cunningham, News Radio seven
