Speaker 1 (00:06):
Billy Cunningham, the great American, Welcome to this Thursday afternoon
in the tri State hotter than the hinges of Hell.
Grets baseball off today after a great win yesterday, Nick Adolo,
Nita Hunter Greenback, will see what happens. A lot of
stuff happening Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Gregs Baseball continues. Un
debate it but until then, believe it or not, about
twenty five percent of the congressional term has now been completed.

(00:30):
House is out of session. There's a few other matters
to pick up in the Senate. But Jonan, you and
I now as Congressmen Representative Warren Davidson, it's been there
about ten to twelve years to talk about what was accomplished,
what wasn't accomplished, and the Warren Davidson welcome again to
the Bill Cunningham Show. So if I would ask you,
what are the two or three best things that happened
in the first twenty five percent of this term, what

(00:51):
would you say, if anything.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
Well, I'd say January sixth, this year we confirmed President
Donald J. Trump as the forty seventh President of the
United States. It's got to be the best sequel going
I mean, this is awesome. I liked them and as
president number forty five, but as forty seven, the momentum
is awesome. We're getting a lot of great things done.
And that's probably the best thing Congress has gotten done,

(01:14):
is just getting that right. And then you know, if
you look at the next thing, the big beautiful bill.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
Look, it's not a perfect bill.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
There's plenty of things that I don't like about it,
but it's loaded up with the President's agenda, and we
basically spent the year working on how to get that
thing better. And I think lastly, you know, we've laid
the groundwork for some really important bills that the Senate
hasn't yet taken up that would fix our immigration, would
fix our.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
Elections, would fix our census.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
Things like that, and we just got to keep the
pressure on the Senate to try to get some of
that done.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
Congressman, you've got no tax on tips, average slaps. Like
most of my family loved that idea. No tax on overtime.
I don't think the millionaires and the billionaires are worried
about taxes on overtime. That's a common sense middle class approach.
Social Security's got to be a way to have senior
citizens that have contributed so much to get a break
on that. And on top of that, the birthright one

(02:08):
thousand dollars IRA. I think most Americans that want to
have kids don't know about that one. You have a
lot of CAPEX expenditures that's going to bring back lots
of jobs to America. The numbers to numbers on unemployment
are low, the numbers on employment are high. In fact,
in June there was a budget surplus of twenty seven
billion dollars. A year ago in June there was a

(02:31):
three hundred and thirty five billion dollar deficit. I look
at immigration. Suddenly, you don't need new laws, new orders.
You need a president to enforce the law. And right
now the illegal crossings on the southern border are down
basically to zero. But one thing came to light and
I sent you this article. Democratic leaders in a private
session leaked out indicated that in preparation for the next census,

(02:54):
what they want to do is pop up illegals in
their district because the census counts per and not citizens.
And that's how states like California, for example, have four
to five extra congress in because they count persons in
the state, not citizens. And so when you look at
why do Democrats do what Democrats do, it's because the

(03:15):
illegals are counted for census, which goes into the Congress
in other words, where you are, which means more Democrats
in the Congress. Was that one of the unspoken policies
of the Democrat Party to pump up illegals under Joe
Biden Kamala Harris so that in the next census in
twenty thirty, the Democrats have a permanent majority in the House.

Speaker 3 (03:36):
Yeah, it's always been the play.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
I mean, you know, Barack Obama did that in his
first term and it influenced the twenty ten census.

Speaker 3 (03:44):
They did it as long as they could.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
Get away with it until Donald Trump became president number
forty five up to the twenty twenty census, and Donald
Trump tried to get the census to only count US
citizens for the apportionment portion. I mean, you count everybody.
Of course, we want to know who all's here. We
don't know where the citizens are. And you know, there
are no sanctuary cities that are run by Republicans, right.

(04:06):
The sanctuary cities are designed to flood these you know,
bad policies. They know that people with an opportunity to
leave tend to leave. So they're trying to replace the
population that finds a better way of life and gets out,
and they have to float them in with illegals to
hold their population line. Otherwise, California would be losing massive
numbers of reps. And you know, I fairpoint Texas would

(04:28):
lose reps too, so would probably Florida some of these
states where there are a higher number of illegals. But
that's costing Ohio representation. And if you think about it,
when you netted out who would gain who would lose,
we think the Democrats could lose as much as twenty
seats if we actually just counted citizens when we draw

(04:49):
congressional maps.

Speaker 3 (04:49):
And look, if you're not an American, that's fine.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
I'll help you find your embassy or consulate because you
have an ambassador, you do not have a member of Congress.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
Oh that's a great idea, But of course, perthright citizenship,
it was never an intent by the fourteenth Amendment to
have illegals from Venezuela become US citizens or count for
any purposes or to come here. I guess women have babies,
not a lot of men have babies, and so women
that come here that have a child. That's been interpreted
to me that the anchor baby is a US citizen,

(05:18):
which provides the family large numbers of benefits. Hopefully that'll
be stopped. Also, what role is there in the in
the do you play if any I want to get
your thoughts on the Trump Russia narrative, which has been
around for a long time. We kind of know what happened.
That is, after the summer of twenty sixteen, Hillary was

(05:38):
in the jackpot for all the felony she committed by
destroying classified information on her home brewed server and chapel. Call,
we know what was happening. So she came up with
an idea just in case it would hurt her to
kind of blame Vladimir Putin and Trump for organizing some
sort of conspiracy to influence the twenty sixteen election, which

(05:58):
most Democrats believe happened in anyway, which is a lie.
But nonetheless, of course they wanted to influence our election.
China wanted to influence our election. Hell, we want to
influence elections everywhere. We've had US presidents try to kill
or kill foreign leaders like Fidel Castro or President DM
in South Vietnam. We have a long history of trying
to influence other elections, and it's okay to do that

(06:20):
as long as it's done legally. But the problem is
Hillary launched the Steele dossier as the basis for the
Russian Trump collusion delusion, as a defense as inoculation against
metastasizing your own crimes, and then once Trump got elected,
it shocked the system. Then Obama organized to get together
at Brendan Combe, Clapper and others to keep that thing

(06:42):
alive to ruin the first two years of his presidency.
Where do you stand on the issue of the Trump
Russia delusion collusion and what will happen in the future
if anything.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
Well, you ran all that stuff down because you followed
it closely, and people that have listened to your show
for years, you know, know the truth.

Speaker 3 (06:59):
And in the reality is a lot of.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
People are going what are we talking about back in
twenty sixteen, And what Tulsa Gabbard just made public is
it wasn't just Hillary Clinton in her campaign that did this.
It was President Barack Obama who after the election convened
his national security team and directed them to change the intelligence,
so that you had a pretext to cover for the

(07:22):
things that they were doing. They were spying on his campaign.
President Trump knew this. They were spying on his transition team.
And Frankly Kuda as one of the unsung heroes is
this guy, Admiral Mike Rogers, a Navy intelligence guy who
tells President Trump, Hey, they're spying on you. And I
got access to that. He was whistle I think it's wrong.

(07:43):
And there are whistleblowers coming out of the woodwork to
add credibility to what Tulsa Gabbart is now declassifying and
referring to the Department of Justice for prosecution. And look,
we had all this drama in the last election cycle
where everyone in the world on the left said, no
one's above the law. And let's just say that's not
the reaction to this information that Tulsa Gabbert's bringing to

(08:07):
light right now. And look, there has to be accountability
for that and an adjacent thing, you know, I hope
Pam Bondi comes here the minute we're back in session
and it does some explaining like how is it that
one minute you got Binders about Epstein and everything else
in the world and it looks like there's gonna be prosecutions.
You're handing out binders to the press to kind of say, hey,

(08:29):
this is what's coming, get ready to cover it and
everything else, and then the next minute there's nothing to
see here. You're like, both those things can't really be true.
So come before the Committee of Jurisdiction and answer for yourself.
Do some explaining to the American people.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
I kind of trust Dan Bongino a lot, Cash Putell
a lot, not so sure about Bondi. But for those
I've done some interviews around the country about why did
the mega types and Trump supporters kind of want more
information on Maxwell and Epstein. It's because it was promised
it would take place. And I have no doubt that
Trump did not have sex with teenage girls. He kicked

(09:06):
Epstein out of his club about seventeen years ago, massive investigations,
and if Joe Biden in four years of Merrick Garland,
they were not shy at all and indicting Donald Trump
in two different federal jurisdictions for all kinds of made
up offenses, if they had the goods on Donald Trump
to have sex with teenage girls under the leadership of
Jeffrey Epstein, we would have found that out years ago,

(09:28):
so it didn't happen. And so the fact that Pam
Bondy is somewhat reticent of releasing a lot of information.
The rumor is there's congressional leaders, business leaders and mucketing
MUCKs of every description that took advantages of the crime
of Gislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein. And that's the reason
that Donald doesn't want to release it enough for himself

(09:49):
but to protect others. So where do you stand on
the issue. By the way, as you know, the investigation
on these matters started in twenty oh seven, we're talking
eighteen years ago by alex Acosta in Florida, and it's
been going on for eighteen years and we still don't
know the names of the so called customers.

Speaker 3 (10:08):
Will they ever be known?

Speaker 2 (10:11):
Well, look, the only way I really want to know
the names is when they come out at trial, right
because I don't need to see a list.

Speaker 3 (10:16):
I don't need to see another report.

Speaker 2 (10:18):
I think the American people are sick of sy in
Congress or special investigators or prosecutors or whoever holding up
stuff saying see we got the goods on this that
or the other thing, and then no one ever goes
to jail and never prosecuted. Sure, that's why I want
Sam Bondy. It's like, look, why aren't the prosecutions occurring.
I want to find out about this because it's at trial,

(10:39):
not because somebody held a press conference. And that's what
I think the people are sick of, because in what
Pambondi teased is there's going to be prosecutions. And look,
I think it's hard to fathom that there were no clients, right,
there's somebody who was on the other side of Jelane Maxwell.
And to your point, look, we know from back to seven.

(11:00):
You know, you know Epstein was not a good guy.
He was engaged in pretty clear criminal conduct and two
thousand and seven doesn't appear to have stopped him, right,
So if it did, then great our justice system worked.
He took the plea in seven, repented of his bad ways,
and was a righteous man outward. I hope that's what

(11:21):
we find out, right, but I don't think the people
believe that. And part of the reason they don't believe
that is people like Pambondi held up things that made
us feel like that's different. And look, I'm on financial
services in foreign affairs.

Speaker 3 (11:34):
I went to business school, not law school.

Speaker 2 (11:36):
But I want justice and accountability and I think that's
what my constituents want and they want an answer for it.
And I think, look, we should be cautionary about saying, oh,
I want a list.

Speaker 3 (11:45):
I don't want a list.

Speaker 2 (11:45):
I don't want another excuse for you to not be
able to present stuff at trial.

Speaker 3 (11:49):
I want people that did evil things.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
To be prosecuted and go to jail, according to reports,
according to Alex Acosta in twenty oh seven twenty oh eight,
the US attorney in South East Florida, he said there
were hundreds of girls, maybe as many as a thousand
teenage girls sexually trafficked for the benefit directly indirectly of
Jeffrey Epstein and Gasline Maxwell. Maxwell. The female also had

(12:13):
sex with these girls in Epstein. I like to know
who give me the names of those who committed crime,
if someone's names in a list, because like, you know,
they got all these pictures of Donald Trump and his
lovely wife with Epstein and Gslaine Maxwell, and they knew
each other, they ran around together. Hell, there's a million
pictures of the Trumpster with all kinds of people. I

(12:36):
guess there's a thousand pictures of you with a whole
bunch of people over the last ten years. Now, upon
somber reflection, he said, I wish I hadn't taken a
picture with that guy. But nonetheless I don't know who
they are, but they were buddies. They ran around together
until about fifteen years ago. So who were the men
who were the shall I say, perpetrators of the trafficking

(12:57):
scheme of the p Diddy of Palm Beach? And that's
Jeffrey Epstein and Gizlaine Maxwell. I guess this morning is
being is being interviewed by Todd Blanche, Deputy in charge
of the Department of Justice. I don't need to know
somebody told somebody on some five oh one c four
someone did this, someone played golf. I like to know

(13:20):
that thousands of men who committed rape against teenage girls
and we were promised that would happen. Can you sense
my frustration?

Speaker 3 (13:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (13:29):
I mean, look, I think that's Look a lot of
times when I go into a meeting, I'll just prefasit
by saying, look, if my constituents could get this meeting,
what would they say? And since I'm here on their behalf.
Here's what I think I need to say to you.
And you know, some of it's pretty intense and pretty
blunt and not as polished as a lot of people
that are used to hearing from members of Congress. But like,
I think that's what's on the heart of a lot

(13:49):
of people. And look back in O seven, when alex
Acosta was trying to go after Etnie, he was sort
of told it, like, hey, work out a plea deal
because this guy's Intel involved. They didn't say which Intel.
People agree he probably wasn't self employed. I mean, I'm
not saying he was on payroll for somebody else, but
he wasn't self directed in the idea of what he

(14:10):
was setting up. He didn't accumulate all this stuff just
because he was a brilliant investor. Right, So you look
at it and go, well, if he was affiliated with
any Intel service in the world, well, where's the accountability
for that? Because I think people would rather an Intel
service go after the pedophiles than run a pedophile ring.

Speaker 3 (14:29):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (14:30):
Now I masade see, but go back a little. Alex
Acosta was told by those above him and above him
or Bush forty three, and Alberto Gonzali's I think that
who's above a US attorney. It's the it's the Department
of Justice in the White House. And they said that
Jeffrey Epstein was Intel involved. Well, did he register as

(14:55):
a foreign agent? That's a crime. I don't think so.
And then I'm told that when he got with a
fifteen month sentenced in Dade County, after thirty days of incarceration,
he was given a work release. So he left us
seven o'clock in the morning, went to his mansion in
Palm Beach, did whatever he liked to do, and went
back at night, and he starved his sentence. He was released,
then kept doing the same crap. And I'm thinking, how

(15:17):
is it possible we have the p diity of our
times getting away with this stuff over the Bush administration,
then the Obama administration, then the Trump administration, then the
Biden administration, now back to the Trump administration, and we
were promised answers and they're not being delivered.

Speaker 3 (15:34):
Correct. Yeah, I mean, I think that's the concern there.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
And honestly, I think a lot of people are like, Okay, great,
get the Justice Department doing what they're doing, and then
you know, The other big story of the summer is,
you know, Donald Trump still doesn't have his team confirmed.
The Senate is sticking around, but it's like, are you
going to get the people confirmed or not? And if
you're not going to process these folks and let them
get his team, I mean we're you know, twenty five

(16:00):
percent through the administration already confirm the basic appointees.

Speaker 3 (16:04):
We have agencies that we're trying to work.

Speaker 2 (16:06):
With in Congress where you have career staff, but they
can't really weigh in on what the policy should or
shouldn't be. They're waiting for the political appointee to get
in place. So it's a way to slow walk us
right in policy making to do it. And the Senate
shouldn't go along with this. If they're not going to
get support from Democrat obstructionists, they should just adjourn and

(16:27):
then let President Trump do recess appointments. Either way, I'm
fine with just get the team in place.

Speaker 1 (16:33):
Well, the truth will set us free. A US senator
told me that everything in their power that the Senate Democrats,
especially Chuck Schumer, are slow walking everything, demanding debates, demanding
eighteen hours of debate on some assistant director of the
EPA and that they want to sew as much chaos
as possible. Then blame Donald Trump for the non execution

(16:55):
of his policies that he promised when they're the ones
in charge of the obstruction, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
Yeah, yeah, it's a look, I get it. They don't
like what we're trying to do. They didn't accidentally do
all this stuff. I mean, you look at the border.
The cartels were making thirteen billion dollars a year trafficking
people across the southern border. Now Donald Trump has essentially
taken that away from them, thirteen billion dollars a year.

(17:21):
Obviously you're not happy about it. And not all that money,
you know, was just staying in Sineloa, Mexico. Some of
that flowed elsewhere and we're looking into that. Where did
Act Blue money come from? Where did some of this
other money come to? So not just the money from
all this slush funds, with the you know Stacy Abrams
of the world getting two billion dollars for a fake nonprofits,

(17:42):
the crazy numbers of billions of dollars that went to
Ukraine that can't really be accounted for. The Democrats were
moving this money everywhere, and they don't want us to
get our people in place to be able to track
all that and provide accountability for and.

Speaker 1 (17:56):
Almost all scandals. If you follow the money, you'll get
your answer. And when Stacy abrons and Georgia receives about
two billion dollars to help with insulation of Georgia homes
and buying refrigerators, so much billions of dollars are sloshing
around funding left doing democratic causes. It is somewhat disgusting.
But once again, Congressman Warren Davidson, good to catch up

(18:16):
with you. Keep hope alive and when you return in September,
hopefully more good stuff will happen. And Congressman have a
great summer. And thanks for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
Thank you, Yeah, thanks a can't wait to get back
home in Ohio.

Speaker 3 (18:29):
And God bless you and all your listeners. God bless America.

Speaker 1 (18:32):
Let's continue with more and if a line becomes available
five one, three, seven, four, nine, seven thousand, and I'm
gonna deal more with this on the other side. After
one o'clock today, we've scheduled to have on the President
of the FOP, Jay McDonald, about the shooting of those
three police officers about twenty five miles west of Cleveland,
all at your home of the Reds News Radio seven
