Speaker 1 (00:06):
Bill Cunningham, the Great American and this morning speak of
the Als. Mike Johnson won 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 Jefferies. But until then,
Warren Davidson is a US congressman. I think the seventh
(00:30):
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 on, Well.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
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 to use
that every ounce of leverage they can because they're not
(01:06):
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 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 3 (01:37):
Well, it's not supposed to be done.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
And I shared on social media weeks ago fourteen states
that are trying to find loopholes to.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Provide healthcare to illegals.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
California spend 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 the Medicaid matching dollars.
So you know, in Ohio, you've got two back two buckets.
Once the standard Medicaid and then Obamacare kind of put
(02:07):
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, so you blend the
two together.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Most states it's seventy thirty or so.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
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 and rousing the
Trump signed it on July fourth. They're fighting to restore
it as if that didn't happen. Well, these are state funds,
and you know this is this money fungible, Like, oh, okay,
(02:43):
I promise not to use any of the money to
pay salaries if you can just mean ten million dollars
for my business. And you're like, yeah, well you also
don't have to buy steel for your metal stamping company.
More 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 they're
not spending federal dollars on it. They're spending state dollars
and then taking credit for it.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
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 Hambleton County, Butler County, is
it in northern Kentucky.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
It's rather quiet.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
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 on the way you go.
So this morning, two or 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
(03:40):
and the so called prisoners ICE has. And over the
weekend there was ten vehicles 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
(04:02):
officers are calling for assistance. We need help. We're surrounded,
shots fired, and Chicago police 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 ATF, the US Marshall Service. When
(04:25):
a call goes out to the Chicago Police needs help,
they come to help their fellow officers. 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 3 (04:45):
Well, it's an all in commitment to be in a
sanctuary city. You know.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
They opened 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, everybody else
illegal maybe who just came there to do a good job.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
But think of this.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
You can't have like every city in America decide who's
his 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 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
(05:34):
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 statue,
the clear jurisdiction of the federal government. And it's going
to have no effect. Brandon Johnson can say it, but
Ice is going to be there. And if the Chicago
PD won't provide security, We're just going to send more
(05:57):
federal firepower into Chicago to provide security.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Wow. And so this is chaos.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
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 refused 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 fabis in Arkansas so that black
(06:25):
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.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Here.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
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 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
that'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.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
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 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.
(07:29):
So President Trump said, hey, we need National Guard to
just provide security for our people while they do.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
The law enforcement work.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
And you know, 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 calmed down, but the lawlessness.
And secondly, I've 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
(08:10):
they 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.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
How do you live?
Speaker 1 (08:46):
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, in which they're paid millions of dollars to
fly these protesters around the get on different guard but
could be in favor of African American causes, it could
be in favor of Gosins, could be in favor of Iran,
(09:08):
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,
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 intelligence 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 to the far left is
found a home for set 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.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
And no apology nothing.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
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. So goes
back to Sarah Huckaby Sanders, normal versus crazy and crazy
sound a big home on the left, well.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
The Virginia and 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.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
I mean, it's crazy. And so you go, well, why
aren't the left enforcing the laws.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
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, 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.
(12:35):
And it's just that's where we're at, normal versus crazy,
and we need people around the country to stay 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
shot 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.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
What the heck do you have to lose? You know, And.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
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, don't shoot him.
The part is, 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
Ice seventy five west and east and you're going to
come down to western Hamlinon County. What do you know
(15:16):
about that, if anything.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
Well, I don't know for sure. I've seen about seven
or eight versions of the map.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
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 Winstriped and Steve Shabbitt, and then
when you had it all drawn together, of course Greg
Lansman meet Steve Shabbitt, and Shabbit longtime.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Representated the west side. But because of that.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Shift, 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.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Is in the eighth district. Now who knows where it'll change.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
You know, some people think that, you know, we went
from twelve 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
(16:18):
of the Redistricting Commission. That's one Republican, one Democrat from
the House, 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 that 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
