Speaker 1 (00:14):
Seven six Here fifty five parrisd talk stags difficult to
say a happy Thursday or Friday, reeling from the tragedy
of the assassination of Charlie Kirk yesterday, and of course
it is the anniversary of nine to eleven, two topics
we're going to be talking about right now with welcome
back Congressman Warren Davidson. It's always a distinct pleasure to
have you on the fifty five Krsey Morning Show, Sir, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Always an honor to join you, Brian. Very tragic and sad, sad.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Day it is.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
And of course you're invited to share your reactions to
the murder of Charlie Kirk and what it might mean.
I'm going to refer people to Ken Blackwell's Facebook post.
He wrote a very just an amazing commentary directed to
the man who murdered Charlie Kirk, and it's basically a
stand in defiance. You try to silence him, but you failed.
(01:00):
And the truth does not die with a bullet. Principles
do not bleed out in the street. He rights, and
our movement is built on conviction, and it's not so
fragile that one violent act can scatter it. So maybe
this will there'll be some bright light in the murder
of Charlie Kirk, that his death will serve to elevate
his message, which was one of open honest communication, logic
(01:21):
and reason and sharing of ideas.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Congressman Well, look, his shirt his life certainly pointed to that.
I mean, he clearly made a difference. He had a
huge impact on a lot of people's lives, and in
a very personal way, not just in his public message.
I mean he truly lived his faith, you know, loved
Jesus with everything in him, loved his family, and loved
(01:43):
this great country, and was a very effective messenger. And
I guess that was more than a lot of people
could bear. And you know, one person pulled the trigger.
It looks like there are probably some other people involved.
We'll see how the investigation goes, and hopefully everyone associated
with this is brought to justice. But the really sick
(02:04):
thing is there are people celebrating this, Yes, and the
people that are celebrating and happy to see Charlie Kirk
murdered and butchered, really in front of a huge audience
with great, you know, high resolution video as they wanted,
they're celebrating it and they would celebrate the murder of
(02:25):
me or you or anyone else. And what I think
they need to understand is if you think this means
that we hold these views and values less strongly, it's
the opposite effect.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
It's very solidifying.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
There is no flinching in the beliefs and values that
we have and will be even more committed to them.
And I think it clarifies what the stakes are for
a lot of people.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Yeah, and.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
This the atrocious comments. I just some of the statements
that have been made. There's a local restaurant owner who
referred to the late mister Kirk as a piece of excrement.
He didn't use the word excrement though, Congressman David So
He's got a lot of backlash and his business may
suffer as a consequence of it. But that that type
of statement, and so many of the other ones. The
MSNBC idiot who got fired over his insensitive comments. There's
(03:18):
just such a large chorus of people who react in
a positive way to a man being murdered. I mean,
if this happened to a conservative commentator, I mean a
leftist commentator, if it was Bernie Sanders or you know,
pick someone of your favorite leftists out there. I certainly
would not rejoice over their death. And I would be
appalled if any of my fellow conservatives or little libertarian
(03:41):
folks that share my views were to utter something like that.
I would condemn it absolutely. But there's so many voices
who were echoing that horrific comment.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Well, I mean speak of MSNBC. I mean, they've celebrated
everything up to this. Yeah, and I guess the trigger is, well, well,
don't celebrate the actual murder. I mean, so, you know,
my advice to MSNBC is close, immediately fire everyone and
sell the assets. I mean, there's no reason for that
place to exist. They've promoted a lot of this toxic
(04:15):
ideology and hate. They've dehumanized everyone who disagrees with them.
And you know, this is the exact opposite of what
Charlie Kirk did. He was very humanizing. He went to
campuses everywhere, He listened patiently to questions and you know,
even listen patiently when people would interrupt.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Or boo him. And then eventually he was very gifted.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
He would get back on message and people would hear
him out and you make his point. And that's the
kind of thing these people know they're losing in the
arena of ideas, and for a long time at work
just to use insults and say, oh, well, they're racist,
or they're fascists, or they're Nazis, or they're you know,
Christian nationalists or some other pejorative that they could come
(04:57):
up to try to dehumanize people. And even that wasn't working.
So now, okay, as Charlie Kirk anticipated, you know that
this leads to an assassination culture, and he had pointed
that out just in April.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Yeah, that was like sort of spine chilling when you
read his comments from that recently, and knowing that he
just got killed yesterday, really is awful well, speaking of
anger and violence and people taking matters into their own hands.
It is the anniversary set another anniversary of nine to eleven.
You want to reflect on that. I know I heard
media aviation expert Jay Rattley is going to come on
(05:35):
later in Common about whether we're safer now than we
were back in nine to eleven when the planes were hijacked.
But any reflections or comments on the anniversary of nine
to eleven Congressman Davidson.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Yeah, I mean, I remember, like everyone that was old
enough to have memories, remembers where they were when they
found out about nine to eleven and watched the buildings
fall and just the anger. You know, I wanted to
immediately go to an arms room and draw my weapon
and deploy somewhere, you know, because we knew someone had
basically just engaged in an act of war against the
United States. And it took a while, but yeah, and
(06:12):
it wasn't as focused as it should have been. But
the guys that were sent did what we sent them
to do. And I think in the in the first
weeks and months after nine to eleven, if you would
have said we would have this long run without the
same kinds of attacks or some escalatory level of attacks
on our country, it didn't seem believable. It seemed like
(06:34):
it was going to be a lot more so. There's
a lot of things that have proven very effective in
this war on tear.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
You know.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
That is an excellent point, Congress from Davidson, a one
that I really haven't put a lot of thought to.
We did live on pins and needles there for a
long time thinking there was going to be another terrorist
attack a ken to nine to eleven. I mean, all
the security measures that were put in place. People concerned
about gatherings and meetings and oh my god, we're going
to have a bunch of angry jihatis coming after us.
And there were some attacks like that, but that there
(06:59):
was anything massive like that.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Maybe that is.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
The result of our taking such a profound military response
to the attacks.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Yeah, And I think there's a lot of back end
protocols that you know, give people a lot of comfort.
They don't necessarily need to know all the details about
what goes on and at what level it goes on.
But there are a lot of efforts to interdict you know, evil,
and a lot of those are working, and then some
of them, some of them come in and you go, well,
you know, we don't have to keep doing some of
(07:31):
these things at TSA and the airports and whatnot. So
they're working on ways to keep things safe. And then
there's been excesses. You know, there's things like the Patriot
Act where you know, citizens are supposed to could get
a warrant, you know, and not spy on US citizens.
And that's was was anticipated that it would be abused.
And remember Ron Paul being a great voice on that,
(07:54):
and it continues to be a great voice on that,
but they continue to double down and do more spying surveillance.
I've had an opbed talking about that spying and surveillance
and the link to artificial intelligence, and we can't get
a major media out let to place it because they
know the level of pressure to keep the surveillance stake growing.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
I can't thank you enough for bringing that up, Commress
from Davidson. I share your opinions on that, and I
know that judge and Politana Ran Paul Thomas Massey all
have the similar view of the Patriot Act. It is
an intrusion on our rights and violation of the Fourth Amendment,
and it has been abused as you suggested it would be.
Congressman Warren Davison, real quick here before we part company.
(08:35):
I know you got a meeting to go to and
we got Alex Trantafilo coming on next. How did the
town hall meeting go last week? Did you learn anything?
Was it a success?
Speaker 2 (08:45):
You know, in retrospect, maybe I was a little naive
about the level of anger. You know, I really didn't
feel that I was personally in danger. I knew there
were people upset, and we knew that the turnout from
what was going to be probably four to one people
that disagreed, and they were coming there to express their disagreement.
It certainly doesn't reflect Trent. And there are a lot
of people that I've talked to and Trent and they're like, well,
what happened? I mean, we're there's there. Then you talk
(09:08):
to the people in Trent and they're like, well, there's
none of these people here. I mean, there were like
thirty people from Trenton at the event, and you know
hundreds of others. You know, about four hundred people at
the event. So it was just a rant fest where,
you know, the minute that I went to speak, they
would just try to talk over it and shout and yell.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
And it started with the Pledge of allegiance.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
You said liberty injustice for all, and they're like, for
all for all, and they started a chat about that.
So it's, yeah, it's going to be a long night.
But if you'd mentioned trigger words like illegal, oh, there's
no illegal people, and they had to shout and stuff
like that, and it was kind of nonsensical, but it
highlighted that they didn't want the speech and debate clause.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
They want the angry mob and that was basically what
they wanted.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
And that is a perfect illustration of you know, Charlie
Kirk and what he stood for, open debate, discussion, engaging
people even if they have a different voice, and trying
to communicate with them. And the left of course shouts down,
and as we saw yesterday, murders when it can't get
its message across because it's a failed message. My comment's
not yours. Congressman Warren Davidson, thank you so much for
(10:09):
your time this morning. I appreciate it. Off to your meeting,
Keep up the great work, and I'll look forward to
having you back on the show real soon.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Thanks, Brian, God bless you and all your listeners.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Thank you, sir, God bless you.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Seven to fifteen.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Right now, Alex Tranthafilo, Ohio Republican Party Chairman's going to
join the program next he's on hold. We're gonna take
quick break here to mention USA insulation five hundred dollars break.
That's right, USA has got a special going. I want
to get you signed up before the winter time. And
every year the same thing happens. You get around December
or November late when the temperatures drop. USA's phones ringing
off the hook. They get really busy. They want to
(10:41):
do your job right away, but can't always do that
when the phone's ringing off the hook. And good for them,
because everybody should need the USA insulation if you're under
insulator or uninsulated. So you got a five hundred dollars discount,
they get in the phone ringing and get your appointment scheduled.
It's still only ninety nine dollars a month interest free.
You'll probably see more than that in your energy bill savings.
(11:01):
Your house will be immediately more comfortable, and then you'll
you will be eligible sign up this year because it's
a twelve hundred dollar energy tax credit next year in
your taxes, and that disappears. This is the last year
for that one, So get the extra twelve hundred dollars
savings Act now five hundred dollars discount. USA Insallation dot net,
