Empower U - October 2nd - Congressman Warren Davidson

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Friday Eve, Congressman War and Davidson one more segment with
him gonna be doing an empower you seminar tonight. Get
over to empower your America Dot organ register, show up
live or watch from your own home. What are the things,
congressmen you're gonna be talking about tonight and empower you?
The one day, one vote proposal and to eliminate no
excuse mail in voting. Interesting timing on that, Congressman Davidson.
It was widely reported yesterday there's a woman in Maine.

(00:22):
They've got a November fourth election day in Maine as well,
had delivered to her front door a box containing temper
evident packs of fifty ballots totally two hundred and fifty
what appear to be authentic ballots, filled out and cast
that landed in this one private citizens front door. And
they're suggesting a federal criminal investigation should be launched. There's

(00:44):
a huge problem with dropping off stacks of mail in ballots,
and that's a lot of reason why many people, including Maureen,
I know you're out there, believe that the twenty twenty
election was stolen. How do we address this problem? Congressman Davidson,
considering how much states have control over their own voting.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
I was told that was illegal and so it wouldn't happen,
you know, just like drugs, you know. So obviously this
kind of stuff does go on. And look, we were
told illegal aliens don't vote, but we just found the
superintendent of Des Moines Schools is not only in the
United States illegally and not only didn't have the academic
credentials he said he did, but he was also a

(01:21):
registered voter in the state of Maryland and had a
voting record. So these kinds of things have gone on.
We need election integrity and for that reason, the House
of Representatives as passed laws that would be binding on
federal elections. So you know, we don't necessarily have a
system where the federal government could say, well, here's how
Ohio has to do their state Supreme Court elections, except

(01:43):
to say, you know, we protect civil liberties and things
like that. But when you look at criteria for federal elections,
there's a lot that we could do. We've had a
hard time getting over the sixty vote threshold in the Senate,
which is the same struggle we're having, you know, with
keeping the government open. And yes, we do have a majority,
but the Senate's still got this sixty vote rules. But

(02:06):
for that, we could be passing election reform, we could
be keeping the government open, and we could do on
a lot of things. Nevertheless, the Senate keeps protecting their
sixty vote rule. We keep sending stuff over in the House.
And this is one of those things that we could do.
And you know, another one of the things we're going
to talk about tonight, Brian, is, Yeah, the two hundred
and fiftieth anniversary of the United States of America and
just looking at the legacy of our country, and you know,

(02:27):
there's so many milestones that no other country has been
like America. We're still the greatest country in the world.
And we've not yet made a perfect union, but we've
made it more perfect in some respects, and i'd hate
to say maybe less perfect in a few other ways.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
Well, I know, one of the topics tonight's secure borders.
And obviously it is a profound night and day difference.
It's like somebody flipped the light switch on between the
Biden administration's approach of the southern border, which was you know,
don't touch it, and Donald Trump, which is the media
shut it down. I mean, the flow of illegal immigrants
into our country has just almost disappeared, at least in
the southern border. I know we have some problems in

(03:05):
the north, and that's kind of leading to my question,
where are we in connection with border security? What else
needs to be done considering the Trump success in the
southern border.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
Well, I mean, we need a law so that you know, no,
no government could actually do what the Biden administration is doing.
And in my own opinion, I think we need a charges.
We need doj to actually bring charges. Alejandro Maorcis, as
a Secretary of Homeland Security, was charged with securing the border.
The laws are already pretty clear, and he actually spun

(03:39):
those on the head. He literally built an app at
Homeland Security to make it easy to you know, bypass
our laws and come here illegally. So to me, that's treason.
I think you should be charged. I think you should
go to jail for a long time. And that's one
of the problems. You know, people people do rightly say,
you know, when is somebody going to jail? And you know,

(04:01):
people are going to keep depriving others of their rights.
They're going to abuse the power of the office until
somebody sell to account for it. And I think there
are a lot of those folks that need to be
held to account. And I think you know that's where
people are saying, oh, Trump is weaponizing the government. Well, no,
we had a weaponization committee last Congress because the wide
administration was weaponizing the government. And so holding those people

(04:23):
to account isn't retribution, it's justice. And you know, even
Google just this past week, you know, they say, yeah,
here's what we were doing because the government told us
to do it, right, we were censoring people. Well, who's
going to be held to account for that? And I
think that's why you know this hopefully the tell me
charges or the tip of the iceberg.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
Well, Google may very well be held accountable because by
operating at the behest of the American government, that means
they're inextricably intertwined with the government, meaning they have to
extend First Amendment rights to the people who use their platform,
and by so restricting the speech, they may have committed
a civil rights violation and could be held accountable in
a lawsuit. So Google might pay the price for their
frank admission that they did just that.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
Yeah, and look they say, oh, we're a neutral platform. Well,
you're not a neutral platform when you engage in editorial content.
You're acting as a publisher and you're deciding, you know
these things and you did it really have to be
hest to the government, So I think, look you you.
In my view, I would work a plea deal with
Google to out the federal officials who were violating the constitution.

(05:27):
And you know, these people should go to jail.
