WEBVTT - Jon Ossoff's Despicable Attack on Natalie Harp

0:00:00.840 --> 0:00:06.640
<v Speaker 1>The voice of free speech and the truth delivered common

0:00:06.760 --> 0:00:12.200
<v Speaker 1>sense for the American people. Welcome to the Scott Jenning Show.

0:00:13.520 --> 0:00:18.480
<v Speaker 2>Senator John Asoff of Georgia is being ripped for a sexist,

0:00:18.720 --> 0:00:23.080
<v Speaker 2>misogynistic remark at the expense of a young female White

0:00:23.079 --> 0:00:26.520
<v Speaker 2>House staffer. Will bring you the audio and my commentary

0:00:26.560 --> 0:00:30.000
<v Speaker 2>in just a few seconds. James Tallerico running for Senate

0:00:30.040 --> 0:00:33.680
<v Speaker 2>down in Texas is insulting the intelligence of black voters.

0:00:33.720 --> 0:00:36.160
<v Speaker 2>We have audio of that as well. And we talked

0:00:36.159 --> 0:00:39.199
<v Speaker 2>to Senator Rick Scott of Florida, big primary down in

0:00:39.200 --> 0:00:41.680
<v Speaker 2>the Sunshine State. We'll see what's going on down there.

0:00:41.720 --> 0:00:45.400
<v Speaker 2>We have a pack show, lots to discuss here on Tuesday,

0:00:45.600 --> 0:00:48.920
<v Speaker 2>August the eighteenth, I'm Scott Jennings broadcasting for Salemon, coming

0:00:48.920 --> 0:00:51.240
<v Speaker 2>to you live from Washington, d C.

0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:53.920
<v Speaker 3>On this day, nineteen twenty.

0:00:54.480 --> 0:00:58.840
<v Speaker 2>Let me take you inside the Tennessee State Capitol where

0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:03.920
<v Speaker 2>the battle lines were marked by roses. Supporters of women's

0:01:03.920 --> 0:01:09.560
<v Speaker 2>suffrage wore yellow, opponents war red, and among the men

0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:15.200
<v Speaker 2>wearing red was twenty four year old State Representative Harry Byrne,

0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:19.880
<v Speaker 2>the youngest member of the Tennessee State Legislature thirty five

0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:23.800
<v Speaker 2>states had already ratified the Nineteenth Amendment. Tennessee would make

0:01:23.880 --> 0:01:27.440
<v Speaker 2>thirty six enough to make it part of the Constitution,

0:01:28.280 --> 0:01:32.280
<v Speaker 2>but the opponents of suffrage believed they had the votes

0:01:32.360 --> 0:01:35.920
<v Speaker 2>to stop it. But then came the decisive roll call.

0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:40.160
<v Speaker 2>When the clerk reached Harry Burns his name, the young

0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:45.560
<v Speaker 2>man wearing the red rose surprised everyone by voting I

0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:51.120
<v Speaker 2>for Hidden inside his coat pocket was a seventh page

0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:56.560
<v Speaker 2>letter from his mother, Miss fed Byrne of Nyota, Tennessee.

0:01:57.400 --> 0:02:01.440
<v Speaker 2>Most of it contained ordinary news from home, but near

0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:05.960
<v Speaker 2>the end she had written, Hurrah and vote for suffrage.

0:02:06.440 --> 0:02:10.760
<v Speaker 2>Don't forget to be a good boy. Well, her son

0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:15.040
<v Speaker 2>followed her advice. The amendment passed forty nine to forty seven,

0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:20.480
<v Speaker 2>making Tennessee the final state required for ratification. The next day,

0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:24.280
<v Speaker 2>mister Byrd explained himself. He said, quote, I know that

0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:28.000
<v Speaker 2>a mother's advice is always safest for her boy to follow.

0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:33.240
<v Speaker 2>One mother, one letter, and one vote that delivered the

0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:38.680
<v Speaker 2>franchise to millions of American women. The Nineteenth Amendment ratified

0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:43.520
<v Speaker 2>on this day, August the eighteenth, nineteen twenty. Women in

0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:45.960
<v Speaker 2>politics have come a long way since that vote. In

0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:49.840
<v Speaker 2>the Tennessee State Capitol. Miss Pebb would be amazed at

0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:52.600
<v Speaker 2>the incredible women who've been elected to office and even

0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:57.720
<v Speaker 2>advise our national leaders at the highest levels. But today

0:02:57.919 --> 0:03:01.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm sad to report to you that there are Democrat

0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:05.480
<v Speaker 2>men trying to tear them down and reduce them to

0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:10.080
<v Speaker 2>nothing more than sex objects. I bring you the story

0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:14.080
<v Speaker 2>of Georgia Senator John Ossoff. He is the current Democratic

0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:17.480
<v Speaker 2>Party flavor of the month, young senator from a purple

0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:20.640
<v Speaker 2>state in the South. People are even talking about him

0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:25.840
<v Speaker 2>running for president. But yesterday, at a pre planned event,

0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:29.600
<v Speaker 2>with a pre planned speech, he unleashed a comment so

0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:34.600
<v Speaker 2>vile against a young Republican woman working in politics that

0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:39.280
<v Speaker 2>every woman in this country, no matter your ideology, ought

0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:43.320
<v Speaker 2>to listen carefully and never forget it. This all has

0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:45.960
<v Speaker 2>to do with President Donald Trump and a woman who

0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:49.840
<v Speaker 2>works for him named Natalie Hart. She's a personal aid

0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:52.960
<v Speaker 2>to the President. And you have to understand that Asoff

0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:57.160
<v Speaker 2>is afflicted with Trump derangement syndrome combined with a level

0:03:57.200 --> 0:04:01.040
<v Speaker 2>of smugness and egomania that should be written about in

0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:05.360
<v Speaker 2>psychology journals. Now, mss Harp spends a lot of time

0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:10.160
<v Speaker 2>around President Trump because he trusts her with important matters

0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:13.800
<v Speaker 2>related to the operations of the President of the United States.

0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:18.000
<v Speaker 2>She is there in her job because she is a smart,

0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:21.960
<v Speaker 2>talented person who wants to serve her country and the president.

0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:26.200
<v Speaker 2>But for John Ossoff and the Democrats, well, she's there

0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:29.240
<v Speaker 2>because she's a pretty blonde who must be sleeping with

0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:32.080
<v Speaker 2>her boss. How else would she have gotten a job

0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:38.239
<v Speaker 2>like that? Listen to this garbage human John Ossoff cut

0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:39.600
<v Speaker 2>one and while.

0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:44.520
<v Speaker 4>The sailors on the Lincoln fight his war, while he

0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:50.040
<v Speaker 4>fruitlessly drains our munitions and oil reserves, the President sleeps

0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:57.360
<v Speaker 4>through his meetings, He golfs in trade stocks. See, he

0:04:57.360 --> 0:05:01.599
<v Speaker 4>doesn't want to do the job. He wants to build

0:05:01.640 --> 0:05:05.200
<v Speaker 4>his ballroom and travel with Natalie on their apparently defenseless

0:05:05.200 --> 0:05:07.760
<v Speaker 4>flying palace gifted by the Emir of Qatar.

0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:14.960
<v Speaker 2>Now John Ossoff wants to run for president. He's talked

0:05:15.040 --> 0:05:17.400
<v Speaker 2>up as the future of the Democratic Party by all

0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:21.039
<v Speaker 2>the pundits on cable TV, and he thinks the way

0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:25.240
<v Speaker 2>to cement his path to the Oval office is to

0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:29.200
<v Speaker 2>slander a talented young woman is nothing more than a

0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:33.839
<v Speaker 2>pretty young companion for the president, all to please the

0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:40.400
<v Speaker 2>nastiest parts of the very online liberal base. When John

0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:43.640
<v Speaker 2>Osof walks into office buildings, there is a non zero

0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:48.080
<v Speaker 2>chance that he looks around at the women and says, well,

0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:51.840
<v Speaker 2>I know how you got here. After Osoff made this

0:05:51.880 --> 0:05:55.880
<v Speaker 2>disgusting comment, he then went on MS now to do

0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:59.560
<v Speaker 2>damage control. And I want you to listen to how

0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:01.720
<v Speaker 2>this Osoff tried to explain it.

0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:06.360
<v Speaker 5>Cut six, Why did you decide to invoke Natalie Harp specifically.

0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:06.279
<v Speaker 3>In that speech?

0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:12.839
<v Speaker 6>The commander in chief has mired us in this geopolitical disaster.

0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:17.560
<v Speaker 6>People have lost their lives, Our naval logistics are afraid,

0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:22.920
<v Speaker 6>the global energy system is in crisis. And he retreats

0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:28.240
<v Speaker 6>into this bubble of West wing aides who are his

0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:31.840
<v Speaker 6>security blanket to make him feel good about himself.

0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:36.080
<v Speaker 3>Absolute coward.

0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:40.120
<v Speaker 2>He was willing to make the statement about Harp, and

0:06:40.240 --> 0:06:44.160
<v Speaker 2>like an absolute weak coward, he wouldn't even own it

0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:49.240
<v Speaker 2>when asked about it later. The presidential campaign spotlight reveals

0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:53.040
<v Speaker 2>your character Asoff hasn't even filed yet and we already

0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:56.440
<v Speaker 2>are now fully aware of his Now, I did some

0:06:56.560 --> 0:06:59.720
<v Speaker 2>research this morning on just how many women have worked

0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:02.120
<v Speaker 2>for on Osof since he came to the Senate at

0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:05.960
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty one. Turns out he's had dozens of female

0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:09.720
<v Speaker 2>staff members, ranging from interns all the way to senior

0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:14.360
<v Speaker 2>level staff positions. Now I could read you their first names,

0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:18.120
<v Speaker 2>it's public record. I could give you their titles and salaries,

0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:21.480
<v Speaker 2>and I could just ask one by one why Osoff

0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:24.720
<v Speaker 2>felt the need to be staffed by this particular woman

0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:25.040
<v Speaker 2>or that.

0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:29.320
<v Speaker 3>But I'm not going to do that, because.

0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:33.520
<v Speaker 2>Each of these women deserves better treatment than what Asoff

0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:38.440
<v Speaker 2>is willing to give Natalie Hart. I guess we shouldn't

0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:41.520
<v Speaker 2>be surprised at this behavior, though Osoff is a Democrat,

0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:44.040
<v Speaker 2>And what do we know about Democrats and how they

0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:47.360
<v Speaker 2>treat women these days. Well, we know how Graham Platner

0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:49.600
<v Speaker 2>up in Maine treated them, and we know that the

0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:53.840
<v Speaker 2>Democrats denied and ignored abuse allegations against Platner when they

0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:58.040
<v Speaker 2>were coming from a Republican woman. What we are learning

0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:01.320
<v Speaker 2>from Democratic men right now is that if you're a

0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:05.920
<v Speaker 2>conservative woman in politics, you are less than human. You

0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:08.440
<v Speaker 2>are not to be believed, and it is to be

0:08:08.520 --> 0:08:12.320
<v Speaker 2>assumed that you're nothing more than a concubine for some

0:08:12.440 --> 0:08:17.440
<v Speaker 2>male politician. That's what Democrat men think when they see

0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:21.320
<v Speaker 2>a pretty girl in a government building. According to John Ossof,

0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:25.040
<v Speaker 2>the implication is that a professional woman couldn't possibly have

0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:28.119
<v Speaker 2>earned her position of trust in the White House without

0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:31.160
<v Speaker 2>sleeping her way to the top, and when asked to

0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:36.240
<v Speaker 2>defend it asoff, slinked away from it, no apology and

0:08:36.280 --> 0:08:41.880
<v Speaker 2>no defense, like a sucker punching coward, which is apparently

0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:44.880
<v Speaker 2>what it takes to be a Democrat in good standing

0:08:44.960 --> 0:08:47.800
<v Speaker 2>these days. Oh, they like to build themselves as the

0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:50.600
<v Speaker 2>Party of women, But is there anything uglier than the

0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:54.120
<v Speaker 2>Party of women? Explaining to a bunch of clapping seals

0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:57.920
<v Speaker 2>at a rally, how female political staffers are really only

0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:02.680
<v Speaker 2>good for one thing win. They talk about us Off

0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:05.440
<v Speaker 2>like he's the next Bill Clinton. Sounds like he shares

0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:07.400
<v Speaker 2>Clinton's views about women in the workplace.

0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:08.160
<v Speaker 3>Maybe they're right.

0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:11.280
<v Speaker 2>Donald Trump's done more to elevate women to the highest

0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:15.040
<v Speaker 2>levels of our politics than any previous president. First woman

0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:18.160
<v Speaker 2>to manage a winning presidential campaign work for Trump, Kelly

0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:21.640
<v Speaker 2>Ann Conway, first female White House chief of staff, work

0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:26.080
<v Speaker 2>for Trump, Susie Wiles, Sarah Sanders, first term press secretary

0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:29.439
<v Speaker 2>now governor of Arkansas, More than a viable future president

0:09:29.559 --> 0:09:31.240
<v Speaker 2>or vice president in her own right.

0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:34.559
<v Speaker 3>I could go on, but Trump.

0:09:34.400 --> 0:09:38.559
<v Speaker 2>Has a clear track record of elevating women in American politics.

0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:42.480
<v Speaker 2>But for John Ossoff and his party, they apparently just

0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:45.880
<v Speaker 2>wanted to grade them. Oh, people like Osoff like to

0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:49.280
<v Speaker 2>talk about women's rights and so on, but when it

0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:53.720
<v Speaker 2>comes right down to it, men like asof are despicable

0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:57.880
<v Speaker 2>cowards who use sexism and misogyny as a joke, who

0:09:57.920 --> 0:10:00.160
<v Speaker 2>think they can get ahead by smearing a can it's

0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:03.240
<v Speaker 2>her survivor and a loyal American who is simply serving

0:10:03.280 --> 0:10:07.000
<v Speaker 2>her government. What he said devalued every woman who goes

0:10:07.040 --> 0:10:10.000
<v Speaker 2>to Washington to serve our country, and it sent a

0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:13.200
<v Speaker 2>signal to every young lady out there who aspires to

0:10:13.280 --> 0:10:16.520
<v Speaker 2>serve that even in the year of our Lord twenty

0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:21.200
<v Speaker 2>twenty six, with men like John Ossoff around, you'll never

0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:25.920
<v Speaker 2>be truly viewed is anything other than a sex object.

0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:29.520
<v Speaker 3>In a political punchline.

0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:32.960
<v Speaker 2>Which to think about what's going on in the Democratic

0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:36.800
<v Speaker 2>Party right now, Absolutely despicable what they have to do

0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:41.320
<v Speaker 2>to make themselves viable to run for president of the

0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:44.480
<v Speaker 2>United States. More news after this, it's Scott Jennings on

<v Speaker 7>I would have dreams and then they would come to pass.

0:11:00.440 --> 0:11:03.920
<v Speaker 5>Some people absolutely have the gift of prophecy. If God exists,

0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:07.120
<v Speaker 5>how would he inject his information into our world? More

0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:08.679
<v Speaker 5>than likely he would use humans.

0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:11.320

0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:22.079
<v Speaker 9>That is the word of God that needs to be

0:11:22.160 --> 0:11:23.440
<v Speaker 9>the bedrock of any.

0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:24.920
<v Speaker 3>Functioning of Florish and civilization.

0:11:25.160 --> 0:11:27.240
<v Speaker 10>Why would God have me be one of the last

0:11:27.280 --> 0:11:29.280
<v Speaker 10>people to interview Charlie before he died.

0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:33.160
<v Speaker 9>Satan would love Christians, So just be a spectator, not engage,

0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:34.440
<v Speaker 9>not participate.

0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:36.160
<v Speaker 5>Is there something he's trying to say?

0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:37.440

0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:04.840
<v Speaker 3>This is the Scott Jenny Show. It is Tuesday, August

0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:05.520
<v Speaker 3>the eighteenth.

0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:09.560
<v Speaker 2>I want to talk about James tallerco insulting every black

0:12:09.679 --> 0:12:12.720
<v Speaker 2>voter in Texas in just a moment. But first, when

0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:16.720
<v Speaker 2>it comes to supplements, two things matter the most. Does

0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:18.640
<v Speaker 2>it work and can you trust it? These are the

0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:22.240
<v Speaker 2>questions you would have natural questions rather than me just

0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:26.000
<v Speaker 2>saying yes and yes. I'd rather have our customers tell

0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:28.000
<v Speaker 2>you about Relief Factor.

0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:28.240
<v Speaker 12>Now.

0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:32.000
<v Speaker 2>I hear from people every day whose lives have changed

0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:35.560
<v Speaker 2>over Relief Factor, and it's you know, you go on

0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:37.720
<v Speaker 2>you talk about a product and you hear people say

0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:39.560
<v Speaker 2>I took the product and it changed my life. It

0:12:39.559 --> 0:12:41.679
<v Speaker 2>makes you feel good about what you're doing. Here's a

0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:44.600
<v Speaker 2>story from Doug. He took relief Factor for a year

0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:48.439
<v Speaker 2>before convincing his wife, who is a special needs teacher

0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:50.360
<v Speaker 2>by the way, to try it out. She'd been using

0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:52.800
<v Speaker 2>assistance just to get up and down the hallway at school.

0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:55.960
<v Speaker 2>Now she's back on her feet. She doesn't have to

0:12:56.040 --> 0:12:58.800
<v Speaker 2>leave the job that she loves. That sounds pretty good,

0:12:59.000 --> 0:13:01.840
<v Speaker 2>doesn't it. It's easy to find out if you could

0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:04.320
<v Speaker 2>be the next person telling us your Relief Factor story.

0:13:04.520 --> 0:13:07.559
<v Speaker 2>You can get a three week supply for seventeen dollars

0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:11.040

0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:21.920
<v Speaker 2>I hope that if you try Relief Factor and you

0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:25.800
<v Speaker 2>like it, you'll be sending us your Relief Factor story

0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:30.040
<v Speaker 2>sooner rather than later. All Right, let's zoom down to Texas.

0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:33.160
<v Speaker 2>The Texas Senate race is interesting. It's very close. I'm

0:13:33.160 --> 0:13:35.760
<v Speaker 2>not going to lie. Republicans are in danger here. This

0:13:35.840 --> 0:13:39.640
<v Speaker 2>seat's held by John Cornyn and he lost the primary

0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:43.240
<v Speaker 2>to Ken Paxton, and the polling down there shows it close.

0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:47.400
<v Speaker 2>I personally believe Republicans will have an advantage here, but

0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:49.360
<v Speaker 2>tall Rico, the Democrat, is going to have a ton

0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:54.559
<v Speaker 2>of money and there's a lot of energy behind trying

0:13:54.559 --> 0:13:58.080
<v Speaker 2>to get rid of Paxton. Absolutely, those are the conditions

0:13:58.120 --> 0:14:01.480
<v Speaker 2>on the ground. Tallarica, though, has a lot of problems,

0:14:01.520 --> 0:14:04.240
<v Speaker 2>and we've talked about those on the show. He thinks

0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:07.720
<v Speaker 2>there are six genders. He's had some very crazy things

0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:10.400
<v Speaker 2>to say about Christianity, particularly when you consider that he

0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:14.280
<v Speaker 2>bills himself as a Christian pastor. He is among the

0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:19.520
<v Speaker 2>most liberal candidates for federal office in the entire country,

0:14:20.320 --> 0:14:23.040
<v Speaker 2>and he's running in Texas. And I assume the Republican

0:14:23.080 --> 0:14:25.800
<v Speaker 2>campaign is going to make all this clear. We certainly

0:14:25.880 --> 0:14:28.280
<v Speaker 2>have here at the show. But I heard a couple

0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:32.480
<v Speaker 2>of comments come out from Tallo Rico today that really,

0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:38.760
<v Speaker 2>to me are beyond just political ideology liberal conservative. They

0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:43.240
<v Speaker 2>go to the core of what I think, and I

0:14:43.240 --> 0:14:47.560
<v Speaker 2>think a lot of liberals do this. They say things

0:14:47.560 --> 0:14:50.760
<v Speaker 2>out loud that are so racist, and yet they have

0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:54.080
<v Speaker 2>no idea. I want to play a clip for you

0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:59.680
<v Speaker 2>of Tallo Rico talking about the Save America Act and

0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:04.080
<v Speaker 2>wiring voter ID. I'm just going to set it up

0:15:04.120 --> 0:15:07.520
<v Speaker 2>that way now. I want you to listen to him cut.

0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:10.480
<v Speaker 13>To we as human beings have the right to shape

0:15:10.480 --> 0:15:12.880
<v Speaker 13>our own destinies, and we do that through the vote.

0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:17.160
<v Speaker 13>And so many brave Americans, so many brave Black Americans,

0:15:17.240 --> 0:15:20.440
<v Speaker 13>have fought and died for that right. And so for

0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:23.040
<v Speaker 13>politicians in Austin or in Washington, as they're now doing

0:15:23.120 --> 0:15:27.400
<v Speaker 13>with this Save Act, they are trying to rob our neighbors.

0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:29.960
<v Speaker 13>It's particularly our black neighbors of those God given rights.

0:15:30.200 --> 0:15:33.600
<v Speaker 13>So I have a track record of using every tool

0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:35.800
<v Speaker 13>in my toolbox to protect voting rights.

0:15:36.960 --> 0:15:39.000
<v Speaker 2>There's not a black person in this country who would

0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:42.560
<v Speaker 2>be inconvenienced or prevented the franchise by the Save Act.

0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:43.320
<v Speaker 3>None.

0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:47.520
<v Speaker 2>What tall Rico is saying is that if you require

0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:50.960
<v Speaker 2>voter ID in an election, all these black voters are

0:15:51.000 --> 0:15:54.480
<v Speaker 2>too stupid to figure it out. We've heard the same arguments,

0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:57.200
<v Speaker 2>by the way, about married women. Oh, they'll never be

0:15:57.240 --> 0:15:59.480
<v Speaker 2>able to figure out how to get an ID and vote.

0:15:59.760 --> 0:16:05.920
<v Speaker 2>You hear yourself? Do you hear yourself? It's a voter ID.

0:16:06.960 --> 0:16:09.880
<v Speaker 2>It costs a few bucks to get one. If you

0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:13.600
<v Speaker 2>don't have a driver's license. It cost a few bucks

0:16:13.680 --> 0:16:17.480
<v Speaker 2>to get an ID. In Texas. You can get an ID.

0:16:18.120 --> 0:16:19.880
<v Speaker 2>You have to have an ID to do anything in

0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:23.400
<v Speaker 2>this country. I flew up to Washington today on an airplane,

0:16:23.400 --> 0:16:26.160
<v Speaker 2>showed an ID. There were other people on the plane,

0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:32.880
<v Speaker 2>they all had IDs. But Tallerco and the rest of

0:16:32.920 --> 0:16:37.040
<v Speaker 2>these liberals who default to this talking point, well, you

0:16:37.120 --> 0:16:41.360
<v Speaker 2>can't have voter ID. We can't ensure that only citizens

0:16:41.360 --> 0:16:44.920
<v Speaker 2>are voting in our election. If we do that, black

0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:51.760
<v Speaker 2>people won't be able to vote. Do you hear your self?

0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:59.000
<v Speaker 2>You are saying to black voters, to Black Americans.

0:16:59.880 --> 0:17:02.200
<v Speaker 3>You're too stupid to.

0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:05.919
<v Speaker 2>Figure out how to use an ID when you go

0:17:05.960 --> 0:17:09.440
<v Speaker 2>to the polls and vote. And because you're so stupid,

0:17:11.119 --> 0:17:14.440
<v Speaker 2>I will protect you from your own stupidity. That's the

0:17:14.480 --> 0:17:20.000
<v Speaker 2>core of liberalism. All these people out there, black voters,

0:17:20.040 --> 0:17:23.679
<v Speaker 2>married women, you you, you will slice and dice you

0:17:23.760 --> 0:17:27.280
<v Speaker 2>because you're too stupid to think for yourself, and we

0:17:28.119 --> 0:17:30.680
<v Speaker 2>must show up and save you from your own stupidity.

0:17:31.119 --> 0:17:32.600
<v Speaker 3>Every black voter ought to hear this.

0:17:32.760 --> 0:17:35.760
<v Speaker 2>Every one of them ought to be outraged about Tall

0:17:35.920 --> 0:17:38.240
<v Speaker 2>Rico and the way he talks about you.

0:17:38.680 --> 0:17:42.200
<v Speaker 3>More news after this, come on back slaying the leftist

0:17:42.280 --> 0:17:43.880
<v Speaker 3>narratives one by one.

0:17:44.320 --> 0:17:45.760
<v Speaker 7>This is the Scott Jenny Show.

0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:51.400
<v Speaker 2>You know something, I'm not done with Tall Rico yet.

0:17:53.160 --> 0:17:58.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm not done with this guy yet. There's more. In addition,

0:17:59.760 --> 0:18:05.280
<v Speaker 2>In addition to believing that black people, it is still

0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:10.439
<v Speaker 2>amazing to me that they look into a camera and

0:18:10.480 --> 0:18:14.760
<v Speaker 2>they just glide right through it. Well, you know, if

0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:16.960
<v Speaker 2>you require an ID to vote, no black person will

0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:19.479
<v Speaker 2>be able to vote. Literally, you'll be taking away their

0:18:19.560 --> 0:18:21.520
<v Speaker 2>right to vote. If you require IDs.

0:18:21.600 --> 0:18:22.200
<v Speaker 3>Do they not.

0:18:23.680 --> 0:18:23.880
<v Speaker 7>Here?

0:18:25.240 --> 0:18:29.440
<v Speaker 3>How racist that is? But there's more.

0:18:31.480 --> 0:18:36.639
<v Speaker 2>Tall Rico is also out making racial arguments around the

0:18:36.680 --> 0:18:39.760
<v Speaker 2>issue of school choice, which I know for any of

0:18:39.800 --> 0:18:43.280
<v Speaker 2>you in Texas, out there and across the country, is

0:18:43.320 --> 0:18:48.359
<v Speaker 2>a big deal. You support school choice. Let's listen to

0:18:48.400 --> 0:18:55.960
<v Speaker 2>tall Rico comparing school choice to segregation cut three.

0:18:56.359 --> 0:18:59.560
<v Speaker 13>And I love the fight against this private school voucher bill,

0:18:59.560 --> 0:19:03.000
<v Speaker 13>which has its roots in school segregation. The first voucher

0:19:03.000 --> 0:19:06.440
<v Speaker 13>bill was proposed in Texas in nineteen fifty seven, which

0:19:06.480 --> 0:19:08.840
<v Speaker 13>was just a few years after Brown v. Board And

0:19:08.920 --> 0:19:12.399
<v Speaker 13>it was a deliberate attempt to allow white parents to

0:19:12.440 --> 0:19:15.480
<v Speaker 13>take their kids out of newly integrated public schools and

0:19:15.480 --> 0:19:18.679
<v Speaker 13>send their kids to wide only private schools. And so

0:19:18.720 --> 0:19:22.440
<v Speaker 13>I fought tooth and nail to prevent that voucher bill

0:19:22.480 --> 0:19:25.760
<v Speaker 13>from passing because it would hurt our students, but it

0:19:25.800 --> 0:19:28.440
<v Speaker 13>would particularly hurt our black students across the state. Because

0:19:28.440 --> 0:19:31.480
<v Speaker 13>we know that public education is underfunded in Texas.

0:19:33.400 --> 0:19:37.800
<v Speaker 2>First of all, public education is not underfunded. James Tallerico

0:19:38.040 --> 0:19:40.760
<v Speaker 2>is parroting the same talking point. I've heard Abdul l

0:19:40.840 --> 0:19:44.679
<v Speaker 2>Sied make a similar argument. You know, Abduel l sied says,

0:19:46.200 --> 0:19:49.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, because we spent one hundred million dollars on

0:19:49.920 --> 0:19:53.720
<v Speaker 2>the Iron Dome in Israel, that we can't have good

0:19:53.760 --> 0:19:58.240
<v Speaker 2>schools in America. We spent a trillion dollars in America

0:19:58.280 --> 0:20:04.160
<v Speaker 2>on public education, one trillion. Education spending keeps going up,

0:20:06.160 --> 0:20:08.600
<v Speaker 2>and in a lot of places, test scores keep going down.

0:20:08.680 --> 0:20:09.360
<v Speaker 3>Not everywhere.

0:20:09.560 --> 0:20:11.879
<v Speaker 2>A lot of red states are seeing test scores going up,

0:20:11.960 --> 0:20:15.680
<v Speaker 2>like Mississippi, for instance, they got a Republican governor down there,

0:20:15.720 --> 0:20:22.760
<v Speaker 2>Republican legislature. Public education is not underfunded. Vouchers and school

0:20:22.880 --> 0:20:26.800
<v Speaker 2>choice do nothing to take away the funding from public education.

0:20:26.920 --> 0:20:31.480
<v Speaker 2>That's also a canard. But listen to what Osof is

0:20:31.600 --> 0:20:38.960
<v Speaker 2>arguing that somehow giving parents a choice would somehow, and

0:20:39.000 --> 0:20:44.200
<v Speaker 2>it's not clear how, but somehow that would take away

0:20:44.560 --> 0:20:49.720
<v Speaker 2>educational opportunities for black students, that it would somehow injure them,

0:20:49.760 --> 0:20:52.400
<v Speaker 2>that it would somehow hurt their ability to get an education.

0:20:53.840 --> 0:20:57.560
<v Speaker 2>Osof may not be aware. He may not be aware,

0:20:58.800 --> 0:21:02.200
<v Speaker 2>and it sounds like he's not that a great many

0:21:03.160 --> 0:21:07.320
<v Speaker 2>of the biggest champions for school choice in this country

0:21:08.520 --> 0:21:17.120
<v Speaker 2>are actually black parents whose children have been trapped in

0:21:17.240 --> 0:21:25.000
<v Speaker 2>failing public schools with nowhere else to go. It's black

0:21:25.080 --> 0:21:30.960
<v Speaker 2>parents who often lead the charge for school choice because

0:21:30.960 --> 0:21:34.000
<v Speaker 2>they want something better for their kids. They don't want

0:21:34.040 --> 0:21:37.640
<v Speaker 2>to be trapped in a failing public school run by

0:21:37.680 --> 0:21:44.000
<v Speaker 2>a failing teachers union. They don't want it, so they say,

0:21:44.080 --> 0:21:49.480
<v Speaker 2>I need a choice, I need something better, and I'm

0:21:49.480 --> 0:21:52.720
<v Speaker 2>paying my taxes and my kids going to a failing

0:21:52.760 --> 0:21:57.160
<v Speaker 2>public school, and you trap me there in the name

0:21:57.280 --> 0:22:02.080
<v Speaker 2>of your political idea. That doesn't help my kid get

0:22:02.119 --> 0:22:04.520
<v Speaker 2>into college. That doesn't help my kid learn to read,

0:22:04.720 --> 0:22:06.920
<v Speaker 2>that doesn't help my kid do math, That doesn't help

0:22:06.960 --> 0:22:10.240
<v Speaker 2>my kid have a better economic outcome. It might help

0:22:10.280 --> 0:22:13.600
<v Speaker 2>you get elected, Maybe it makes you feel better about yourself,

0:22:13.680 --> 0:22:18.280
<v Speaker 2>James Tallerco, but it does nothing for me. I hope

0:22:18.359 --> 0:22:22.720
<v Speaker 2>James Tallerco meets some of these black parents in Texas

0:22:22.720 --> 0:22:26.560
<v Speaker 2>and around the country who are leading on school choice

0:22:26.600 --> 0:22:30.400
<v Speaker 2>in their communities. I doubt that he will, because these

0:22:30.440 --> 0:22:35.600
<v Speaker 2>Democratic candidates never meet anybody who pops their little ideological

0:22:35.640 --> 0:22:38.879
<v Speaker 2>bubble who might give them some contrary information to the

0:22:38.920 --> 0:22:42.640
<v Speaker 2>things that they have to say. The boxes they have

0:22:42.720 --> 0:22:47.520
<v Speaker 2>to check in order to exist in the Democratic Party.

0:22:47.600 --> 0:22:51.840
<v Speaker 2>This is one of them, this little racial attack box.

0:22:51.920 --> 0:22:53.919
<v Speaker 2>You have to check that because he has to please

0:22:54.440 --> 0:23:00.240
<v Speaker 2>the teachers' unions. Understand, John Ossoff says these things because

0:23:00.240 --> 0:23:04.600
<v Speaker 2>there's any data or any truth. He says these things

0:23:04.640 --> 0:23:08.159
<v Speaker 2>because he's more scared of the teachers' unions than he

0:23:08.320 --> 0:23:13.160
<v Speaker 2>is worried about a black kid in Dallas or Houston

0:23:13.240 --> 0:23:17.320
<v Speaker 2>or San Antonio or anywhere else learning how to read,

0:23:17.840 --> 0:23:20.240
<v Speaker 2>or learning how to do math, or getting a good education.

0:23:22.240 --> 0:23:24.680
<v Speaker 2>The teachers' unions are in charge. They are in charge

0:23:24.720 --> 0:23:31.199
<v Speaker 2>of James tall Rico, the education lobby. That's who's in

0:23:31.280 --> 0:23:37.040
<v Speaker 2>charge of tall Rico. Who should be in charge the parents.

0:23:38.200 --> 0:23:40.720
<v Speaker 2>They ought to have the choices, they ought to be

0:23:40.720 --> 0:23:43.400
<v Speaker 2>able to do what's best for their kids. But that's

0:23:43.440 --> 0:23:45.879
<v Speaker 2>what he wants to take away, and he tries to

0:23:45.920 --> 0:23:50.879
<v Speaker 2>wrap it around this crazy racial politics. And the only

0:23:50.920 --> 0:23:54.280
<v Speaker 2>people who get hurt are these kids who are trapped

0:23:54.359 --> 0:23:58.040
<v Speaker 2>year after year in failing public schools. And they listen

0:23:58.080 --> 0:24:00.560
<v Speaker 2>to the politician say, oh, you're the problem is we

0:24:00.600 --> 0:24:04.040
<v Speaker 2>just haven't spent enough money yet. Do we spend enough?

0:24:05.280 --> 0:24:10.280
<v Speaker 2>We spend a lot. It's the policy. It's the people

0:24:10.280 --> 0:24:13.760
<v Speaker 2>who are in charge that's your problem. It's not the spending.

0:24:14.840 --> 0:24:17.879
<v Speaker 2>It's the Policy. Scott Jennings is here on Salem. Our

0:24:17.880 --> 0:24:22.520
<v Speaker 2>first guest today Evan Barker, a former Democratic campaign operative

0:24:22.520 --> 0:24:27.560
<v Speaker 2>and political strategist who spent years raising millions of dollars

0:24:28.040 --> 0:24:31.480
<v Speaker 2>for progressive candidate. She has a new book called Nothing

0:24:31.840 --> 0:24:37.720
<v Speaker 2>Left Confessions of a Democratic Operative. Evan Barker takes readers

0:24:38.040 --> 0:24:42.320
<v Speaker 2>behind the scenes of democratic politics and explains why she

0:24:42.480 --> 0:24:46.840
<v Speaker 2>believes the party abandoned working class Americans and moved too

0:24:46.920 --> 0:24:49.520
<v Speaker 2>far to the left. Evan, we don't know each other,

0:24:49.560 --> 0:24:51.640
<v Speaker 2>but I'm glad to welcome you into the Scott Jettings Show.

0:24:51.640 --> 0:24:54.200
<v Speaker 2>Congratulations on publishing your book. Thanks for being here.

0:24:55.240 --> 0:24:56.680
<v Speaker 14>Thank you, Thank you so much.

0:24:56.680 --> 0:24:57.000
<v Speaker 11>Scott.

0:24:57.040 --> 0:24:59.680
<v Speaker 10>I've seen you so many times on TV, so it's

0:24:59.720 --> 0:25:01.000
<v Speaker 10>cool to to meet you here.

0:25:02.000 --> 0:25:03.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's very nice to meet you as well. I

0:25:04.000 --> 0:25:06.399
<v Speaker 2>want to ask you why did you write the book?

0:25:06.440 --> 0:25:10.560
<v Speaker 2>This is a fascinating sort of concept about you know,

0:25:10.680 --> 0:25:12.720
<v Speaker 2>from where you came and now to publish this book.

0:25:12.720 --> 0:25:13.080
<v Speaker 3>I see it.

0:25:13.119 --> 0:25:16.360
<v Speaker 2>We have it on our screen here. I know, great cover. Yeah,

0:25:16.359 --> 0:25:17.200
<v Speaker 2>why'd you crazy?

0:25:18.960 --> 0:25:19.360
<v Speaker 14>Yeah?

0:25:19.400 --> 0:25:21.920
<v Speaker 10>So I'm from the middle of the country. Originally I'm

0:25:21.960 --> 0:25:24.840
<v Speaker 10>from Kansas slash Missouri. I claim both sides of the

0:25:24.840 --> 0:25:28.119
<v Speaker 10>state line Kansas City, and I grew up in a

0:25:28.200 --> 0:25:32.879
<v Speaker 10>mostly working class union family, and over time I saw

0:25:32.960 --> 0:25:36.880
<v Speaker 10>a lot of my family members who voted for Democrats

0:25:37.000 --> 0:25:40.840
<v Speaker 10>switch and leave and vote for Donald Trump. Starting in

0:25:40.920 --> 0:25:44.359
<v Speaker 10>around twenty sixteen, they started supporting the GOP. And I

0:25:44.440 --> 0:25:47.960
<v Speaker 10>came into Democratic politics because I had a pre existing

0:25:48.000 --> 0:25:52.040
<v Speaker 10>health condition similar to sistic vibrosis. As a child, it

0:25:52.080 --> 0:25:54.439
<v Speaker 10>was hard for me to always have insurance. My parents

0:25:54.480 --> 0:25:56.800
<v Speaker 10>couldn't always afford to put me on high risk pools,

0:25:57.160 --> 0:25:58.640
<v Speaker 10>and so I was activated by the.

0:25:58.600 --> 0:25:59.880
<v Speaker 14>Barack Obama campaign.

0:26:00.000 --> 0:26:03.560
<v Speaker 10>And after college, I ended up finding the Bernie Sanders movement.

0:26:03.600 --> 0:26:07.320
<v Speaker 10>I was actually there with AOC and Bernie the first

0:26:07.400 --> 0:26:09.879
<v Speaker 10>day they ever met, believe it or not, and it

0:26:09.880 --> 0:26:13.360
<v Speaker 10>happened to be in Kansas, and I spent the whole

0:26:13.400 --> 0:26:16.359
<v Speaker 10>day with them, and I, uh, yeah, I didn't realize

0:26:16.400 --> 0:26:18.960
<v Speaker 10>what I was witnessing at that point in time, but

0:26:19.040 --> 0:26:21.399
<v Speaker 10>you know, I kind of over time got disillusioned with

0:26:21.520 --> 0:26:24.159
<v Speaker 10>establishment Democrats, and so that's kind of what made the

0:26:24.200 --> 0:26:27.600
<v Speaker 10>Bernie movement so appealing. I felt like they were stylistically

0:26:27.640 --> 0:26:30.639
<v Speaker 10>at least truth tellers about the Democratic Party.

0:26:31.440 --> 0:26:33.720
<v Speaker 14>But then I, you know, soon figured.

0:26:33.280 --> 0:26:38.280
<v Speaker 10>Out that that movement really wasn't about fighting for economic

0:26:38.359 --> 0:26:42.439
<v Speaker 10>popularism or you know, giving more people health care. It

0:26:42.520 --> 0:26:46.040
<v Speaker 10>was actually just about identity politics and hating white people

0:26:46.200 --> 0:26:52.200
<v Speaker 10>and hating men, and uh, defunding the police and kind

0:26:52.200 --> 0:26:55.240
<v Speaker 10>of like open borders, you know, stuff like that. And

0:26:55.280 --> 0:27:00.159
<v Speaker 10>so I got disaffected from that movement as well. And

0:27:00.200 --> 0:27:05.000
<v Speaker 10>then on day three of the convention at the dncent

0:27:05.160 --> 0:27:08.800
<v Speaker 10>I ended up leaving a day early before Kamala Harris

0:27:08.840 --> 0:27:12.040
<v Speaker 10>even spoke, because I realized that she was going to

0:27:12.119 --> 0:27:14.959
<v Speaker 10>lose and the Democratic Party wasn't going to change, at

0:27:15.040 --> 0:27:19.879
<v Speaker 10>least not anytime soon. And so I ended up going viral,

0:27:20.240 --> 0:27:23.280
<v Speaker 10>kind of by accident, just posted a video expressing my

0:27:23.359 --> 0:27:26.119
<v Speaker 10>frustrations with the DNC. Thought it was going to be

0:27:26.119 --> 0:27:29.000
<v Speaker 10>a resignation video. It ended up getting millions and millions

0:27:29.040 --> 0:27:31.679
<v Speaker 10>of views, and it kind of led to me writing

0:27:31.720 --> 0:27:32.160
<v Speaker 10>this book.

0:27:32.200 --> 0:27:33.200
<v Speaker 14>And I want to write this.

0:27:33.280 --> 0:27:37.320
<v Speaker 10>I wanted to write this book because nobody inside the

0:27:37.359 --> 0:27:41.440
<v Speaker 10>progressive movement or inside the Democratic Party has been honest

0:27:41.760 --> 0:27:45.520
<v Speaker 10>about what happened during those years. And we've seen a

0:27:45.560 --> 0:27:48.680
<v Speaker 10>lot of postmortems, we've seen a lot of autopsy reports.

0:27:48.880 --> 0:27:51.800
<v Speaker 10>We've seen some of the autopsy report, but they haven't

0:27:51.840 --> 0:27:54.760
<v Speaker 10>really been honest about what led to all of these

0:27:54.800 --> 0:27:56.520
<v Speaker 10>crazy decisions.

0:27:56.440 --> 0:27:59.200
<v Speaker 14>And what was happening. And so that's why I wrote

0:27:59.200 --> 0:27:59.639
<v Speaker 14>the book.

0:28:01.000 --> 0:28:04.040
<v Speaker 2>Evan Barker AT's the voiceer hearing. She's got a book

0:28:04.040 --> 0:28:08.280
<v Speaker 2>out called Nothing Left Confessions of a Democratic Operative. Evan,

0:28:10.400 --> 0:28:12.879
<v Speaker 2>I want to ask you where you think your party

0:28:12.960 --> 0:28:15.520
<v Speaker 2>is headed in twenty twenty eight. You've seen your party

0:28:15.600 --> 0:28:17.119
<v Speaker 2>change over the year. By the way, you and I

0:28:17.119 --> 0:28:20.240
<v Speaker 2>share a background. I have a lot of a Democratic Union,

0:28:20.520 --> 0:28:23.960
<v Speaker 2>working class background in my family too. Interestingly that part

0:28:23.960 --> 0:28:26.600
<v Speaker 2>of my family, they've all become Republicans over the years.

0:28:26.640 --> 0:28:28.520
<v Speaker 2>I was the first one. I like to think I

0:28:28.600 --> 0:28:31.760
<v Speaker 2>was a trailblazer, but they're all there now. And you

0:28:31.880 --> 0:28:34.960
<v Speaker 2>says you voted for President Trumping in twenty twenty four.

0:28:35.000 --> 0:28:36.679
<v Speaker 2>But I'm kind of interested in your take on the

0:28:36.720 --> 0:28:41.000
<v Speaker 2>future because we're seeing this debate capitalism or socialism, the

0:28:41.040 --> 0:28:44.360
<v Speaker 2>cultural stuff is still out there. What's your view who's

0:28:44.400 --> 0:28:47.280
<v Speaker 2>going to win out the socialists and the radicals or

0:28:47.280 --> 0:28:49.880
<v Speaker 2>do you think the Democrats could steer back to the middle.

0:28:50.480 --> 0:28:51.160
<v Speaker 3>What's your thinking?

0:28:52.880 --> 0:28:55.240
<v Speaker 10>Well, that's the interesting thing, Scott, is that my book

0:28:55.320 --> 0:28:59.760
<v Speaker 10>also charts the growth of the progressive movement over the

0:28:59.840 --> 0:29:02.520
<v Speaker 10>line ten years, and how we really built out infrastructure,

0:29:02.800 --> 0:29:05.560
<v Speaker 10>and how they became so strong. The Democratic Party used

0:29:05.560 --> 0:29:09.760
<v Speaker 10>to fight back against them. Actually, I was actually blacklisted

0:29:10.800 --> 0:29:12.000
<v Speaker 10>in twenty nineteen.

0:29:12.160 --> 0:29:12.960
<v Speaker 14>My firm was.

0:29:12.840 --> 0:29:17.560
<v Speaker 10>Blacklisted for many years because of our helping.

0:29:17.320 --> 0:29:19.120
<v Speaker 14>Primary Democratic incumbents.

0:29:19.160 --> 0:29:22.720
<v Speaker 10>And I think that the Democratic establishment thought that they

0:29:22.760 --> 0:29:24.440
<v Speaker 10>would just sort of squeeze us out and get rid

0:29:24.480 --> 0:29:29.080
<v Speaker 10>of us, but it actually backfired and it made the progressives,

0:29:29.120 --> 0:29:32.959
<v Speaker 10>the DSA movement grow to be extremely strong. I mean,

0:29:33.000 --> 0:29:36.840
<v Speaker 10>we ended up recruiting our own donors, billionaire donors, very

0:29:36.920 --> 0:29:39.560
<v Speaker 10>very wealthy people, George Soros, back to a lot of

0:29:39.600 --> 0:29:43.720
<v Speaker 10>the Justice Democrats candidates, these other groups called Way to Win,

0:29:43.800 --> 0:29:45.320
<v Speaker 10>which the public's not really.

0:29:45.200 --> 0:29:46.040
<v Speaker 14>Doesn't know about.

0:29:46.400 --> 0:29:50.320
<v Speaker 10>But I think at this point, the progressive movement has

0:29:50.320 --> 0:29:54.640
<v Speaker 10>grown so strong, and at the same time, the base

0:29:54.720 --> 0:29:57.800
<v Speaker 10>of the Democratic Party, the voter base, is fed up

0:29:58.400 --> 0:30:02.160
<v Speaker 10>because they feel like the establish has failed multiple times

0:30:02.160 --> 0:30:04.120
<v Speaker 10>and they have to be fair. They have you know,

0:30:04.160 --> 0:30:07.960
<v Speaker 10>Donald Trump is one now multiple times, and so they're

0:30:08.000 --> 0:30:12.120
<v Speaker 10>looking for alternatives. And the only built in alternatives, Scott

0:30:12.480 --> 0:30:15.640
<v Speaker 10>is the far left, progressive Bernie wing of the party.

0:30:16.120 --> 0:30:19.480
<v Speaker 10>And the fact that they have now so much experience,

0:30:19.560 --> 0:30:22.840
<v Speaker 10>and they have so much infrastructure, and they have real

0:30:22.920 --> 0:30:24.280
<v Speaker 10>money behind them.

0:30:24.960 --> 0:30:28.080
<v Speaker 14>I think that we're kind of in this moment right now.

0:30:28.240 --> 0:30:31.800
<v Speaker 10>Where the Centrists and the moderates are becoming out numbered

0:30:32.640 --> 0:30:37.200
<v Speaker 10>and the progressive wing is actually becoming the new establishment.

0:30:37.720 --> 0:30:41.560
<v Speaker 10>And I think that if Abdul Sayed pulls off a

0:30:41.600 --> 0:30:45.360
<v Speaker 10>win in Michigan, it will only embolden them, because up

0:30:45.440 --> 0:30:48.040
<v Speaker 10>until this point they have not been able to prove

0:30:48.800 --> 0:30:52.479
<v Speaker 10>that their theory of change works in swing states. So

0:30:52.560 --> 0:30:54.760
<v Speaker 10>if he wins in that state, it will set the

0:30:54.840 --> 0:30:56.200
<v Speaker 10>tone for twenty twenty eight.

0:30:57.360 --> 0:30:59.720
<v Speaker 2>I could not agree with you more that that race

0:31:00.120 --> 0:31:02.800
<v Speaker 2>is going to tell us a lot, a lot about

0:31:02.840 --> 0:31:05.880
<v Speaker 2>where Democrats are headed, about where twenty twenty eight is headed.

0:31:06.160 --> 0:31:11.480
<v Speaker 2>The book is called Nothing Left, Confessions of a Democratic Operative.

0:31:11.880 --> 0:31:14.960
<v Speaker 2>The author is Evan Barker. I cannot wait to get

0:31:14.960 --> 0:31:17.720
<v Speaker 2>my hands on this and read it. I'm glad to

0:31:17.720 --> 0:31:20.000
<v Speaker 2>hear your description of it, but I'm looking forward to

0:31:20.040 --> 0:31:22.640
<v Speaker 2>reading it even more. Evan, thanks for coming by. We

0:31:22.680 --> 0:31:24.640
<v Speaker 2>got to take a break. It's Scott Jennings on Salem.

0:31:24.680 --> 0:31:27.600
<v Speaker 7>Stay with us, straight talk without the bluster when you

0:31:27.680 --> 0:31:29.240
<v Speaker 7>positively need the truth.

0:31:29.680 --> 0:31:33.800
<v Speaker 3>This is where you come the scot Jetting Show. It's

0:31:33.840 --> 0:31:35.600
<v Speaker 3>Primary day down in Florida.

0:31:35.680 --> 0:31:37.880
<v Speaker 2>There's some interesting new polling out from our friends at

0:31:37.880 --> 0:31:40.960
<v Speaker 2>the James Madison Institute. Bob McClure is here in sixty

0:31:41.040 --> 0:31:43.840
<v Speaker 2>seconds to talk about that really interesting issue polling.

0:31:44.200 --> 0:31:45.320
<v Speaker 3>But first I want to.

0:31:45.280 --> 0:31:47.600
<v Speaker 2>Talk to you about this new documentary that's coming out.

0:31:47.840 --> 0:31:52.040
<v Speaker 2>Just two weeks before his tragic assassination last September, Conservative

0:31:52.120 --> 0:31:54.800
<v Speaker 2>leader and our friend here, Charlie Kirk, sat down for

0:31:54.880 --> 0:31:58.280
<v Speaker 2>one of his final interviews to wrestle with a timeless question,

0:31:58.720 --> 0:32:03.120
<v Speaker 2>does God Still Speak Today? That conversation became the foundation

0:32:03.240 --> 0:32:07.360
<v Speaker 2>for this provocative new documentary called Can You Hear Me Now?

0:32:07.520 --> 0:32:12.040
<v Speaker 2>It explores prophecy, faith, scripture, history, and the role that

0:32:12.200 --> 0:32:15.920
<v Speaker 2>believers are called to play in our culture. Rather than

0:32:15.960 --> 0:32:18.360
<v Speaker 2>asking you what to think, the film invites you to

0:32:18.480 --> 0:32:22.479
<v Speaker 2>examine the evidence, consider the biblical foundations, and reflect on

0:32:22.560 --> 0:32:25.640
<v Speaker 2>what all this means for believers living in today's culture.

0:32:25.720 --> 0:32:28.920
<v Speaker 2>If you appreciate thoughtful conversations about faith and history of

0:32:29.000 --> 0:32:31.920
<v Speaker 2>the public square, and if you miss Charlie and you

0:32:31.960 --> 0:32:33.719
<v Speaker 2>want to see what Charlie had to say, which I

0:32:33.760 --> 0:32:36.480
<v Speaker 2>certainly do, I want you to pre order this film.

0:32:36.560 --> 0:32:38.240

0:32:57.000 --> 0:33:00.720
<v Speaker 2>from the James Madison Institute. It's primary day for you, Bob,

0:33:00.840 --> 0:33:04.200
<v Speaker 2>down in Florida. You all have done some polling that

0:33:04.280 --> 0:33:07.880
<v Speaker 2>I think voters in Florida are going to be interested in. Certainly,

0:33:07.880 --> 0:33:10.160
<v Speaker 2>these issues are on the minds of a lot of

0:33:10.160 --> 0:33:13.360
<v Speaker 2>the candidates who are running today, particularly the candidates for governor.

0:33:13.880 --> 0:33:16.680
<v Speaker 2>Let's start with the polling you have on property taxes

0:33:16.720 --> 0:33:17.480
<v Speaker 2>down in Florida.

0:33:17.480 --> 0:33:18.440
<v Speaker 3>Bob. What'd you find out?

0:33:21.120 --> 0:33:22.840
<v Speaker 5>You know, it is a big day, Scott, and thanks

0:33:22.880 --> 0:33:26.440
<v Speaker 5>for having me. It's what we found is that.

0:33:27.120 --> 0:33:31.520
<v Speaker 9>Floridians across party lines really believe that property taxes in

0:33:31.600 --> 0:33:33.160
<v Speaker 9>Florida have gotten too high.

0:33:33.640 --> 0:33:34.560
<v Speaker 5>Surprise surprise.

0:33:34.720 --> 0:33:40.160
<v Speaker 9>Right, Local governments spend too much money and then continue

0:33:40.280 --> 0:33:44.719
<v Speaker 9>to surf the rise of property values without lowering the

0:33:44.760 --> 0:33:48.320
<v Speaker 9>military and so property taxes continue to rise across the

0:33:48.360 --> 0:33:50.959
<v Speaker 9>state and Floridians a little bit tired of it.

0:33:51.080 --> 0:33:52.719
<v Speaker 5>Not a little bit, They're a lot tired of it.

0:33:52.800 --> 0:33:56.640
<v Speaker 9>So in our poll, we found that affordability is the

0:33:56.840 --> 0:34:02.880
<v Speaker 9>single biggest concern of all Floridians, and within that particular issue,

0:34:03.120 --> 0:34:07.920
<v Speaker 9>property taxes by seventy five percent. Flirtians think property taxes

0:34:07.960 --> 0:34:10.360
<v Speaker 9>are too high.

0:34:10.680 --> 0:34:12.960
<v Speaker 2>And the governor's race is going on, they got to

0:34:13.000 --> 0:34:16.320
<v Speaker 2>replace Ryan DeSantis down there, who I know you strongly

0:34:16.360 --> 0:34:19.480
<v Speaker 2>support and have worked with a lot on different policy issues.

0:34:19.480 --> 0:34:22.520
<v Speaker 2>As a Republican primary going on, did you poll the

0:34:22.640 --> 0:34:25.080
<v Speaker 2>race and how do you see the candidates right now

0:34:25.120 --> 0:34:25.960
<v Speaker 2>who are in the running.

0:34:27.760 --> 0:34:29.120
<v Speaker 3>We did pull the race.

0:34:29.160 --> 0:34:32.480
<v Speaker 9>There are about four candidates that I would say are

0:34:32.680 --> 0:34:36.280
<v Speaker 9>quote unquote serious candidates. But right now, Scott, I would

0:34:36.440 --> 0:34:40.600
<v Speaker 9>are polling is showing that Byron Donalds is hovering around

0:34:40.640 --> 0:34:44.279
<v Speaker 9>fifty percent in that primary. On the Republican side, he's

0:34:44.280 --> 0:34:48.080
<v Speaker 9>been endorsed by Donald Trump. That's a big plus in

0:34:48.120 --> 0:34:51.439
<v Speaker 9>a red state like Florida. And on the Democratic side,

0:34:51.480 --> 0:34:56.279
<v Speaker 9>it's David Jolly, who's been a Republican an independent and

0:34:56.400 --> 0:34:58.759
<v Speaker 9>is now running as a Democrat. He's polling in the

0:34:58.800 --> 0:35:03.919
<v Speaker 9>mid forties. So it looks like, barring some unforeseen circumstance,

0:35:03.960 --> 0:35:06.360
<v Speaker 9>that Byron Donald's is going to be the Republican nominee

0:35:06.360 --> 0:35:09.040
<v Speaker 9>and David Jolly will be the Democratic nominee.

0:35:09.800 --> 0:35:13.359
<v Speaker 2>And based on your experience in Florida policy circles, based

0:35:13.400 --> 0:35:15.680
<v Speaker 2>on what you know today, which of these guys is

0:35:15.719 --> 0:35:17.960
<v Speaker 2>going to be better on the issue of getting those

0:35:18.600 --> 0:35:23.760
<v Speaker 2>property taxes and overall cost of living issues down for Floridians.

0:35:25.960 --> 0:35:28.160
<v Speaker 3>Oh, I think without a doubt it's Byron Donald's.

0:35:28.200 --> 0:35:34.400
<v Speaker 15>Byron is a strong believer in the free market economic

0:35:34.560 --> 0:35:37.680
<v Speaker 15>view and the way of the world, So we're excited

0:35:38.080 --> 0:35:39.279
<v Speaker 15>about that possibility.

0:35:39.280 --> 0:35:42.840
<v Speaker 9>Obviously, we're nonpartisan, so we focus on policy. We believe

0:35:42.880 --> 0:35:46.640
<v Speaker 9>good policy is good politics, and so I personally believe

0:35:46.719 --> 0:35:51.320
<v Speaker 9>that Byron is going to be the stronger in terms

0:35:51.320 --> 0:35:55.920
<v Speaker 9>of his economic platform. He believes that government typically is

0:35:56.160 --> 0:36:00.799
<v Speaker 9>the problem with affordability. It's not typically free market capitalism.

0:36:00.840 --> 0:36:03.800
<v Speaker 9>When you allow the market to do its job, prices

0:36:03.840 --> 0:36:08.920
<v Speaker 9>come down, efficiency improves in Floridians and Americans get a

0:36:08.920 --> 0:36:12.160
<v Speaker 9>better product. It's government that is typically the problem.

0:36:12.680 --> 0:36:13.080
<v Speaker 3>All right.

0:36:13.080 --> 0:36:16.080
<v Speaker 2>That's Bob McClure. He's head of the James Madison Institute.

0:36:16.080 --> 0:36:19.040
<v Speaker 2>They've got a big poll of what voters in Florida

0:36:19.080 --> 0:36:21.480
<v Speaker 2>are thinking right now as they head into the election season.

0:36:21.520 --> 0:36:23.680
<v Speaker 2>If you want to read it, and I would recommend

0:36:23.719 --> 0:36:25.520
<v Speaker 2>Florida is an important state, you might want to look

0:36:25.560 --> 0:36:27.920
<v Speaker 2>into this. If you care about the politics of the

0:36:27.920 --> 0:36:33.399
<v Speaker 2>Sunshine State. Go to jmipoll dot com. Jmipoll dot com.

0:36:33.400 --> 0:36:35.600
<v Speaker 2>You can read about how they feel about property taxes,

0:36:35.680 --> 0:36:39.120
<v Speaker 2>and healthcare and affordability. Some data center polling in here

0:36:39.560 --> 0:36:42.160
<v Speaker 2>that you might want to see. Bob, thanks for coming by.

0:36:42.320 --> 0:36:44.520
<v Speaker 2>We go to a break. More news after this. It's

0:36:44.520 --> 0:36:45.680
<v Speaker 2>Scott Jennings on Salem.

0:36:45.760 --> 0:36:48.960
<v Speaker 3>Stay with us, common sense for the American people. This

0:36:49.160 --> 0:36:51.839
<v Speaker 3>is the Scott Jenni Show. Were checking the headlines here.

0:36:51.880 --> 0:36:57.960
<v Speaker 2>On Tuesday, August the eighteenth, a transgender female named Ryan

0:36:58.120 --> 0:37:01.799
<v Speaker 2>Michael English will spend seventy three months in prison after

0:37:01.840 --> 0:37:05.719
<v Speaker 2>pleading guilty to two federal weapons charges connected to a

0:37:05.760 --> 0:37:09.439
<v Speaker 2>plot to assassinate Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant. This was back

0:37:09.440 --> 0:37:13.280
<v Speaker 2>in January twenty twenty five. President Trump says no talks

0:37:13.280 --> 0:37:17.719
<v Speaker 2>with Iran are scheduled after a sixty day negotiating window expired.

0:37:17.800 --> 0:37:21.880
<v Speaker 2>Iran continues to dispute Washington's account of conditions in a

0:37:21.960 --> 0:37:24.799
<v Speaker 2>trade of horn moves, but President Trumps posted on truth

0:37:24.840 --> 0:37:28.080
<v Speaker 2>Social that this trade is open and operating and all

0:37:28.160 --> 0:37:30.799
<v Speaker 2>water mines have been removed or detonated.

0:37:30.840 --> 0:37:32.600
<v Speaker 3>He says the naval blockade is in.

0:37:32.560 --> 0:37:36.200
<v Speaker 2>Full effect and voters are heading to the polls in

0:37:36.440 --> 0:37:40.560
<v Speaker 2>Florida among other places today, but the Sunshine State primary

0:37:40.719 --> 0:37:42.480
<v Speaker 2>is of interest to us right now. And our next

0:37:42.480 --> 0:37:45.319
<v Speaker 2>guest is Senator Rick Scott, who served two terms as

0:37:45.360 --> 0:37:49.600
<v Speaker 2>Florida governor and is now US Senator. There, Senator Scott,

0:37:49.640 --> 0:37:53.080
<v Speaker 2>thanks for joining US primary day governor's race to replace

0:37:53.200 --> 0:37:56.000
<v Speaker 2>Ron DeSantis. You've got a little experience in that office.

0:37:56.280 --> 0:37:58.000
<v Speaker 2>I think you've been out on the campaign trail with

0:37:58.040 --> 0:38:01.520
<v Speaker 2>one of the candidates. What's your view on what Florida

0:38:01.600 --> 0:38:03.880
<v Speaker 2>is looking for and a new governor?

0:38:06.040 --> 0:38:09.839
<v Speaker 5>Well, but first topic, exciting day. You know election days

0:38:09.840 --> 0:38:12.600
<v Speaker 5>are exciting days. Sixteen years ago, all the polls that

0:38:12.640 --> 0:38:15.800
<v Speaker 5>I would lose and actually won the governors the Republican primary.

0:38:15.800 --> 0:38:17.920
<v Speaker 5>No one thought I could win. So I've been out

0:38:17.960 --> 0:38:20.680
<v Speaker 5>with a variety of people. I've been campaigning with Byron Donalds.

0:38:20.680 --> 0:38:22.840
<v Speaker 5>I've been doing a variety of things with other candidates.

0:38:22.880 --> 0:38:25.600
<v Speaker 5>Actually it was up in Georgia campaign with Rick Jackson,

0:38:25.640 --> 0:38:28.160
<v Speaker 5>My Collins. I've been around the state of Florida campaign

0:38:28.239 --> 0:38:31.920
<v Speaker 5>with people like Brandy Fine. So I tell everybody you know,

0:38:32.239 --> 0:38:34.400
<v Speaker 5>pick your favorite candidate, but get out there and vote

0:38:34.960 --> 0:38:38.799
<v Speaker 5>and make sure that that we win. On the Democrat side,

0:38:38.840 --> 0:38:42.560
<v Speaker 5>we've got some Democrats socialists running and actually those primaries

0:38:42.600 --> 0:38:44.759
<v Speaker 5>it doesn't really matter because it doesn't matter who wins

0:38:44.760 --> 0:38:47.160
<v Speaker 5>because they all vote the way Chuck Schumer and Jeffreys

0:38:47.160 --> 0:38:50.000
<v Speaker 5>tell them to vote, and they're voting the way Mandami

0:38:50.040 --> 0:38:52.920
<v Speaker 5>and Hassan Piker and Bernie Sanders tell them to vote.

0:38:54.440 --> 0:38:58.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, these socialists running in these Democratic primaries are interesting.

0:38:58.320 --> 0:39:01.200
<v Speaker 2>Both Jared Moskowitz and and Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

0:39:01.239 --> 0:39:03.680
<v Speaker 3>Those are the two Democrats they're really targeting.

0:39:03.760 --> 0:39:06.160
<v Speaker 2>And it just so happens they're both Jewish and they've

0:39:06.160 --> 0:39:08.680
<v Speaker 2>both been proponents of the idea that you know, Israel

0:39:08.800 --> 0:39:11.960
<v Speaker 2>has a right to exist. And then in the Republican side,

0:39:12.000 --> 0:39:15.200
<v Speaker 2>this Randy Fine, he's a Republican. This primary, there's a

0:39:15.280 --> 0:39:18.120
<v Speaker 2>character in that race named Dan Bil'sarian. You have seen

0:39:18.280 --> 0:39:23.239
<v Speaker 2>in Florida this primary season, some real anti Semitic campaign activity.

0:39:24.160 --> 0:39:26.880
<v Speaker 2>You represent a lot of Jewish voters there in Florida.

0:39:27.000 --> 0:39:29.000
<v Speaker 2>What are you hearing from them right now? Even ones

0:39:29.000 --> 0:39:30.520
<v Speaker 2>who've been Democrats their whole lives.

0:39:32.840 --> 0:39:34.919
<v Speaker 5>Well, it's a scary time. First off, it's a scary

0:39:34.960 --> 0:39:37.480
<v Speaker 5>time to be a Jew in this country because you've

0:39:37.480 --> 0:39:40.960
<v Speaker 5>got people that just hate Jews and out they're spewing

0:39:41.760 --> 0:39:46.520
<v Speaker 5>horrible hatred. It's just pure hatred. So you know, I've been,

0:39:46.640 --> 0:39:48.319
<v Speaker 5>you know, part of the Randy Fine race and what

0:39:48.360 --> 0:39:51.880
<v Speaker 5>his opponent has done in a Republican primary is just

0:39:52.080 --> 0:39:56.319
<v Speaker 5>a complete hatred towards Randy Fine for being Jewish. So

0:39:56.360 --> 0:39:57.880
<v Speaker 5>we've got it both on the Republican side and the

0:39:57.920 --> 0:40:01.279
<v Speaker 5>Democrats side. And we got a governor candidate Fishback and

0:40:01.320 --> 0:40:05.560
<v Speaker 5>he's anti Semitic. So we have to call this out.

0:40:05.600 --> 0:40:08.680
<v Speaker 5>But you know what, Chuck Schumer, Jeffries, they never call

0:40:08.719 --> 0:40:11.440
<v Speaker 5>out and I symmetism. The Democrats never call it out.

0:40:11.480 --> 0:40:13.520
<v Speaker 5>We call it out. I call it out every day

0:40:13.560 --> 0:40:15.960
<v Speaker 5>I see it. But the Democrats never do because they

0:40:16.000 --> 0:40:20.440
<v Speaker 5>have become the anti Semitic party. But today is election day.

0:40:20.520 --> 0:40:25.640
<v Speaker 5>I guess everybody, go vote, make your voices heard, and

0:40:25.760 --> 0:40:27.279
<v Speaker 5>get to know as much as you can about these

0:40:27.320 --> 0:40:29.400
<v Speaker 5>candidates and then go vote for your favorite.

0:40:30.840 --> 0:40:33.880
<v Speaker 2>Rick Scott, Us, Senator from Florida, is our guest. Speaking

0:40:33.920 --> 0:40:36.600
<v Speaker 2>of voting, You, Senator, have been one of the strongest

0:40:36.600 --> 0:40:40.200
<v Speaker 2>proponents in the Senate of the Save America Act, and

0:40:40.239 --> 0:40:42.239
<v Speaker 2>I want to play something for you. This is the

0:40:42.280 --> 0:40:47.080
<v Speaker 2>Democratic candidate for Senate over in Texas, James Tallerico. I

0:40:47.239 --> 0:40:48.960
<v Speaker 2>just I'm going to play it cold for you, and

0:40:49.000 --> 0:40:50.360
<v Speaker 2>then I want your immediate reaction.

0:40:50.440 --> 0:40:53.600
<v Speaker 13>Cut number two, We as human beings, have the right

0:40:53.680 --> 0:40:55.879
<v Speaker 13>to shape our own destinies, and we do that through

0:40:55.920 --> 0:40:59.720
<v Speaker 13>the vote. And so many brave Americans, so many brave

0:41:00.000 --> 0:41:03.640
<v Speaker 13>Black Americans, have fought and died for that right. And

0:41:03.719 --> 0:41:06.120
<v Speaker 13>so for politicians in Austin or in Washington, as they're

0:41:06.160 --> 0:41:09.399
<v Speaker 13>now doing with this, say that they are trying to

0:41:09.480 --> 0:41:12.879
<v Speaker 13>rob our neighbors, particularly are black neighbors, of those God

0:41:12.880 --> 0:41:16.680
<v Speaker 13>given rights. So I have a track record of using

0:41:16.680 --> 0:41:19.040
<v Speaker 13>every tool in my toolbox to protect voting rights.

0:41:20.920 --> 0:41:23.479
<v Speaker 2>You've heard tall Rico there with this bogus talking point.

0:41:23.480 --> 0:41:24.160
<v Speaker 2>What's your reaction.

0:41:26.120 --> 0:41:30.440
<v Speaker 5>It's condescending to blacks. So he must be saying blacks

0:41:30.480 --> 0:41:33.160
<v Speaker 5>can't fly because you have to have an ID. Blacks

0:41:33.200 --> 0:41:36.080
<v Speaker 5>can't go to the doctor's office because they don't have

0:41:36.120 --> 0:41:40.800
<v Speaker 5>an ID. He must think is so condescending to Black

0:41:40.840 --> 0:41:43.800
<v Speaker 5>Americans that he's not. He doesn't think they're smart enough

0:41:44.160 --> 0:41:46.759
<v Speaker 5>to be able to register to vote right improve their

0:41:46.800 --> 0:41:50.000
<v Speaker 5>American citizen and show an ID to vote. That's what

0:41:50.040 --> 0:41:53.160
<v Speaker 5>the that's what the Democrat Party thinks of minorities. They

0:41:53.160 --> 0:41:56.480
<v Speaker 5>think they're too stupid to be able to vote. So

0:41:56.760 --> 0:41:58.799
<v Speaker 5>it's it's it's unbelievable condescending.

0:42:00.280 --> 0:42:00.600
<v Speaker 7>It is.

0:42:00.880 --> 0:42:03.200
<v Speaker 3>And I don't even think they hear their own racism.

0:42:03.239 --> 0:42:06.680
<v Speaker 2>They say these things, and it's incredibly racist what he's saying,

0:42:06.719 --> 0:42:09.319
<v Speaker 2>I mean effectively saying they're too stupid to figure out

0:42:09.320 --> 0:42:10.880
<v Speaker 2>how to get an idea and vote, and they just

0:42:10.920 --> 0:42:12.960
<v Speaker 2>breeze right past it as though it's just part of

0:42:12.960 --> 0:42:16.280
<v Speaker 2>the normal discourse. Senator Scott, I want to change direction

0:42:16.320 --> 0:42:19.279
<v Speaker 2>of foreign affairs. We've got the situation I ran still

0:42:19.320 --> 0:42:23.839
<v Speaker 2>going on the sixty day Memorandum of Understanding period that expired.

0:42:24.400 --> 0:42:26.880
<v Speaker 2>We have the naval blockade going on. According to President,

0:42:27.200 --> 0:42:28.960
<v Speaker 2>how is this going to end? What's your advice to

0:42:29.000 --> 0:42:31.680
<v Speaker 2>the president on what to do next year with the Iranians.

0:42:33.360 --> 0:42:35.920
<v Speaker 5>Well, he doesn't really have much of a choice. You

0:42:36.160 --> 0:42:38.399
<v Speaker 5>would he didn't choose to go to war. This guy

0:42:38.480 --> 0:42:39.800
<v Speaker 5>never wants to go to war. He doesn want to

0:42:39.800 --> 0:42:42.480
<v Speaker 5>put troops in harm's way, but he does have to.

0:42:42.600 --> 0:42:46.600
<v Speaker 5>He has an obligation to defend us that Iranians have

0:42:46.600 --> 0:42:48.440
<v Speaker 5>been killing us for forty seven years. They're close to

0:42:48.480 --> 0:42:50.719
<v Speaker 5>a nuclear weapon. They cannot have a newcre weapon. They

0:42:50.719 --> 0:42:53.839
<v Speaker 5>will use it in this country to kill us, and

0:42:53.920 --> 0:42:56.319
<v Speaker 5>so he has no choice. But they do everything can

0:42:56.360 --> 0:42:58.000
<v Speaker 5>to make sure they don't have a NEWCRE weapon. So

0:42:58.360 --> 0:43:02.600
<v Speaker 5>part of this is the I hope it works. If

0:43:03.040 --> 0:43:06.239
<v Speaker 5>it takes to destroy their economy, have at it. So

0:43:06.320 --> 0:43:08.920
<v Speaker 5>I support what the President's doing. It's a tough time

0:43:09.000 --> 0:43:11.440
<v Speaker 5>because none of us like high gas prices and none

0:43:11.440 --> 0:43:13.440
<v Speaker 5>of us like war, but we don't want to be

0:43:13.520 --> 0:43:15.879
<v Speaker 5>killed by a nuclear weapons. So President Trump is doing

0:43:15.880 --> 0:43:16.359
<v Speaker 5>the right thing.

0:43:18.040 --> 0:43:20.000
<v Speaker 2>Back on the domestic front, I was reading in the

0:43:20.040 --> 0:43:23.080
<v Speaker 2>Washington Post Friday, of all places, they admitted that government

0:43:23.160 --> 0:43:27.160
<v Speaker 2>data shows that prescription drug prices are falling in this

0:43:27.239 --> 0:43:30.960
<v Speaker 2>country at the highest rate since nineteen sixty. That's actually

0:43:31.080 --> 0:43:34.440
<v Speaker 2>good news on the affordability front. Is this an issue

0:43:34.440 --> 0:43:38.359
<v Speaker 2>that you think the Republican Party can and should run

0:43:38.440 --> 0:43:39.960
<v Speaker 2>on this fall. I think it's got to be part

0:43:39.960 --> 0:43:41.840
<v Speaker 2>of the strategy. But I'm interested in your reaction to

0:43:41.880 --> 0:43:46.440
<v Speaker 2>the data that's just come out. Absolutely, the biggest issue

0:43:46.440 --> 0:43:48.600
<v Speaker 2>we've got right now in this country is as a

0:43:48.600 --> 0:43:51.600
<v Speaker 2>result of this wasteful government spending, and there's unbelievable waste

0:43:51.640 --> 0:43:52.440
<v Speaker 2>during the Biden years.

0:43:52.520 --> 0:43:56.600
<v Speaker 5>Inflation's out of control. We now at thirty year high,

0:43:56.600 --> 0:43:59.560
<v Speaker 5>in the nineteen year high, and our thirty year treasury

0:44:00.000 --> 0:44:03.719
<v Speaker 5>all because the government's wasting their money. So this president's

0:44:03.760 --> 0:44:06.080
<v Speaker 5>doing everything he can to get prices down. Look at

0:44:06.120 --> 0:44:09.080
<v Speaker 5>what he's done with drug prices. He's doing everything can

0:44:09.200 --> 0:44:12.480
<v Speaker 5>to drive the costs of things down. So we ought

0:44:12.480 --> 0:44:13.920
<v Speaker 5>to be running on this. We ought to be running

0:44:13.920 --> 0:44:16.040
<v Speaker 5>on what are we doing to drive down prices and

0:44:16.160 --> 0:44:17.960
<v Speaker 5>poor families. I grew up in a very poor family,

0:44:17.960 --> 0:44:22.560
<v Speaker 5>a lot of Americans did. Prices are killing are just

0:44:22.640 --> 0:44:26.880
<v Speaker 5>destroying the lives of our poor families in this country

0:44:26.920 --> 0:44:28.240
<v Speaker 5>because they can't afford the inflation.

0:44:29.960 --> 0:44:33.080
<v Speaker 2>Final question for Senator Rick Scott of Florida. You guys

0:44:33.400 --> 0:44:36.560
<v Speaker 2>in the Congress are out on the August recess right now,

0:44:36.640 --> 0:44:39.360
<v Speaker 2>the work period I assume you've been traveling around.

0:44:39.120 --> 0:44:40.680
<v Speaker 3>And meeting with your constituents.

0:44:41.000 --> 0:44:43.719
<v Speaker 2>What are you hearing from them about what they want

0:44:43.760 --> 0:44:46.239
<v Speaker 2>you to do when you get back to Congress and

0:44:46.280 --> 0:44:51.920
<v Speaker 2>what must the Republicans achieve in the September October timeframe

0:44:51.960 --> 0:44:53.240
<v Speaker 2>before voters go to the polls.

0:44:55.080 --> 0:44:58.160
<v Speaker 5>Well, number one is election security the Save America Act,

0:44:58.200 --> 0:45:01.200
<v Speaker 5>and number two is an affordability. They say, why can't

0:45:01.239 --> 0:45:05.160
<v Speaker 5>you get this passed? You know, you have Republicans, one, Democrats,

0:45:05.160 --> 0:45:07.480
<v Speaker 5>and Independence all wanted. The one people don't want it

0:45:07.520 --> 0:45:10.400
<v Speaker 5>is elected Democrats. And so we're going to have at

0:45:10.520 --> 0:45:12.440
<v Speaker 5>least two votes on it in September. We're going to

0:45:12.480 --> 0:45:14.279
<v Speaker 5>have it as part of the inside of trading bill

0:45:14.280 --> 0:45:16.520
<v Speaker 5>to pass the House in a bipartisan manner. We're also

0:45:16.520 --> 0:45:19.239
<v Speaker 5>going to do reconciliation, which only takes Republican votes, to

0:45:19.280 --> 0:45:21.240
<v Speaker 5>see what we can get in there on election security.

0:45:21.320 --> 0:45:24.080
<v Speaker 5>Ron Johnson will be leading that effort. So that's the

0:45:24.120 --> 0:45:25.960
<v Speaker 5>number one. Number two is what are you going to

0:45:26.040 --> 0:45:27.920
<v Speaker 5>get do to get prices down? And I tell them

0:45:27.960 --> 0:45:29.160
<v Speaker 5>the biggest thing we've got to do is we got

0:45:29.200 --> 0:45:31.399
<v Speaker 5>to start balancing the budget. We can't keep running two

0:45:31.400 --> 0:45:33.720
<v Speaker 5>trillion dollars deficits. You know, when I ran for governor,

0:45:33.760 --> 0:45:36.120
<v Speaker 5>I ran on a balanced budget. Florida had not bounced

0:45:36.160 --> 0:45:39.160
<v Speaker 5>his budget forty years but one time, and so we

0:45:39.239 --> 0:45:42.160
<v Speaker 5>balanced it ever since. So the fold government should be

0:45:42.200 --> 0:45:43.879
<v Speaker 5>doing the same thing. Families have to do it. That's

0:45:43.920 --> 0:45:45.840
<v Speaker 5>what's going to drive inflation down and the cost of

0:45:45.880 --> 0:45:50.640
<v Speaker 5>living down. Those are the two big you're hearing. Security, Yeah, prices,

0:45:50.760 --> 0:45:51.560
<v Speaker 5>I agree.

0:45:51.600 --> 0:45:52.200
<v Speaker 3>I agree with you.

0:45:52.239 --> 0:45:54.200
<v Speaker 2>By the way, Senator, I've been by the way, I'll

0:45:54.239 --> 0:45:56.680
<v Speaker 2>just I've been around you know, thirty five forty states

0:45:56.719 --> 0:45:58.480
<v Speaker 2>in the last several months. That the things that come

0:45:58.560 --> 0:46:03.120
<v Speaker 2>up every single time Save America Act. Republicans absolutely want

0:46:03.160 --> 0:46:06.799
<v Speaker 2>the party to focus on that affordability issues. But those

0:46:06.800 --> 0:46:10.120
<v Speaker 2>two things right there, and look, you know there's not

0:46:10.160 --> 0:46:12.480
<v Speaker 2>many excuses here. I know the Democrats are against it,

0:46:12.480 --> 0:46:15.800
<v Speaker 2>but boy, the Republican the voting bases out there fired

0:46:15.880 --> 0:46:16.400
<v Speaker 2>up about this.

0:46:16.520 --> 0:46:18.600
<v Speaker 3>Senator Rick Scott of Florida, thanks for joining us.

0:46:18.920 --> 0:46:21.320
<v Speaker 2>And we'll see how the election results turn out tonight

0:46:21.360 --> 0:46:23.360
<v Speaker 2>in Florida for the big primary.

0:46:23.440 --> 0:46:26.399
<v Speaker 3>All right, let's talk supplements. Supplements.

0:46:26.680 --> 0:46:29.640
<v Speaker 2>When you think about these things, you wonder, well, okay,

0:46:29.640 --> 0:46:32.319
<v Speaker 2>if I take it will it work and if I

0:46:32.400 --> 0:46:33.560
<v Speaker 2>take it, can I trust it?

0:46:33.560 --> 0:46:34.880
<v Speaker 3>Can I trust what they're telling me?

0:46:35.400 --> 0:46:38.120
<v Speaker 2>Now, as you know, I'm a proponent of Relief Factor,

0:46:38.160 --> 0:46:40.200
<v Speaker 2>and I can tell you that it works for me,

0:46:40.520 --> 0:46:42.120
<v Speaker 2>work for my dad. I could tell you that I

0:46:42.160 --> 0:46:44.719
<v Speaker 2>trust it, but I think hearing from some other customers

0:46:44.800 --> 0:46:46.719
<v Speaker 2>might be a great idea. Here's a note we got

0:46:46.719 --> 0:46:50.839
<v Speaker 2>from Jim. He ran out of relief Factor twice. Both

0:46:50.920 --> 0:46:53.759
<v Speaker 2>times his aches and stiffness and pain came back. Once

0:46:53.800 --> 0:46:56.040
<v Speaker 2>he got back on relief Factory, says he felt better.

0:46:56.480 --> 0:46:59.759
<v Speaker 2>Jim says, quote, you know something's working when you run

0:47:00.040 --> 0:47:03.440
<v Speaker 2>out of it. At some common sense wisdom from gym

0:47:03.520 --> 0:47:06.759
<v Speaker 2>right there. A three week supply of relief Factor is

0:47:06.800 --> 0:47:10.040
<v Speaker 2>but seventeen dollars and seventy six cents. Get it at

0:47:10.080 --> 0:47:13.719
<v Speaker 2>relief factor dot com. And you can also call them

0:47:13.760 --> 0:47:15.960
<v Speaker 2>up the old fashioned way one eight hundred and four relief.

0:47:16.040 --> 0:47:18.759
<v Speaker 2>Either way, get a three week supply seventeen seventy six.

0:47:18.840 --> 0:47:22.240
<v Speaker 2>You just might be sharing your story with us very soon.

0:47:22.600 --> 0:47:24.720
<v Speaker 2>More news after this, it's Scott on Salem.

0:47:24.840 --> 0:47:28.960
<v Speaker 7>Stay with us, ready for more common sense here, CNN

0:47:29.239 --> 0:47:33.160
<v Speaker 7>senior political commentator, New York Times, best selling author at

0:47:33.200 --> 0:47:37.360
<v Speaker 7>America's favorite political pundit, Scott Jennings.

0:47:38.880 --> 0:47:43.040
<v Speaker 2>It is primary day down in Florida and in some

0:47:43.160 --> 0:47:48.800
<v Speaker 2>other states. We'll be tracking that tonight over at CNN.

0:47:48.840 --> 0:47:53.480
<v Speaker 2>I've become up at eleven Eastern tonight, Laura Coates. I'll

0:47:53.520 --> 0:47:56.360
<v Speaker 2>be sitting out there going over the election results. I guess,

0:47:57.320 --> 0:48:00.160
<v Speaker 2>really paying attention to what's going on in Florida. This

0:48:00.280 --> 0:48:03.600
<v Speaker 2>governor's race is interesting. Rick Scott alluded to that he

0:48:04.320 --> 0:48:07.279
<v Speaker 2>likes Byron Donalds. I think Byron's highly likely to win

0:48:07.320 --> 0:48:09.480
<v Speaker 2>the primary and starts as a favorite. I think in

0:48:09.520 --> 0:48:12.319
<v Speaker 2>the general election, Democrats I think are going to try

0:48:12.320 --> 0:48:14.719
<v Speaker 2>to contest it. But you know, it's a Republican state.

0:48:14.760 --> 0:48:18.600
<v Speaker 2>We'll see what happens. I'm also paying attention and Senator

0:48:18.640 --> 0:48:20.600
<v Speaker 2>Scott referred to this as well to some of these

0:48:20.600 --> 0:48:27.160
<v Speaker 2>congressional campaigns, particularly the one in Florida's sixth congressional district.

0:48:27.600 --> 0:48:33.520
<v Speaker 2>It's currently represented by a Jewish Republican named Randy Fine,

0:48:33.920 --> 0:48:43.919
<v Speaker 2>and he's being challenged by a anti Semite social media Well,

0:48:44.000 --> 0:48:48.279
<v Speaker 2>what are you personality? An influencer, a podcaster, you know,

0:48:48.360 --> 0:48:54.839
<v Speaker 2>one of those types named Dan Bill Zirian. Now I'm

0:48:54.840 --> 0:48:58.640
<v Speaker 2>going to read to you from ABC News about Bill Zirian.

0:49:01.120 --> 0:49:06.120
<v Speaker 2>He has long spread provocative language and anti Semitism. He

0:49:06.200 --> 0:49:09.960
<v Speaker 2>has ramped up his rhetoric with a slew of anti

0:49:09.960 --> 0:49:16.080
<v Speaker 2>Semitic ads and verbal attacks targeting Randy Fine. His content

0:49:16.200 --> 0:49:21.480
<v Speaker 2>also included references to Adolf Hitler and explicit anti Semitic tropes.

0:49:23.040 --> 0:49:25.439
<v Speaker 2>I've seen some of the videos. You may have seen

0:49:25.440 --> 0:49:28.239
<v Speaker 2>them circulating online. I'm not going to play them if

0:49:28.280 --> 0:49:32.560
<v Speaker 2>you're watching the stream. It's garbage. It's garbage stuff from

0:49:32.560 --> 0:49:37.840
<v Speaker 2>a garbage person. But it has attracted the attention of

0:49:37.920 --> 0:49:43.799
<v Speaker 2>leaders in both parties. Interestingly, Speaker Mike Johnson Republican and

0:49:44.160 --> 0:49:49.560
<v Speaker 2>Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries Democrat have both condemned Bilzarian's rhetoric

0:49:49.680 --> 0:49:54.480
<v Speaker 2>and his candidacy. Again, I'm citing ABC News here. The

0:49:54.640 --> 0:49:59.040
<v Speaker 2>vile attack ads against Congressman Randy Fine are disgusting and

0:49:59.080 --> 0:50:01.719
<v Speaker 2>should be condemned by all political leaders on the right

0:50:01.760 --> 0:50:05.920
<v Speaker 2>and left. Anti Semitism and outward hatred of Jewish communities

0:50:06.400 --> 0:50:09.600
<v Speaker 2>have no place in our politics or in America, and

0:50:09.640 --> 0:50:12.040
<v Speaker 2>we will continue to call them out wherever they arise.

0:50:12.160 --> 0:50:13.160
<v Speaker 3>That's Mike Johnson.

0:50:14.080 --> 0:50:17.880
<v Speaker 2>Jeffries said it was a quote hateful campaign, which he

0:50:17.960 --> 0:50:23.160
<v Speaker 2>calls quote blatantly anti Semitic and shocks the conscience. Lots

0:50:23.160 --> 0:50:28.160
<v Speaker 2>of people are condemning this Bilzarian from across the Republican spectrum,

0:50:29.560 --> 0:50:32.719
<v Speaker 2>all the way from Don Bacon, who's been more on

0:50:32.760 --> 0:50:37.680
<v Speaker 2>the on the outs with Trump, I guess, so to speak,

0:50:37.719 --> 0:50:40.359
<v Speaker 2>that side, all the way over to Ted Cruz. They've

0:50:40.400 --> 0:50:46.400
<v Speaker 2>expressed their revulsion. Our ambassador to Israel, the Great Mike Huckabee,

0:50:47.360 --> 0:50:52.320
<v Speaker 2>called Bilzarian's rhetoric quote possibly the most disgusting political thread

0:50:52.480 --> 0:50:53.120
<v Speaker 2>I've seen.

0:50:56.760 --> 0:50:57.839
<v Speaker 3>It's ugly.

0:50:59.680 --> 0:51:03.480
<v Speaker 2>What's going on in this district. I'm glad people are

0:51:03.520 --> 0:51:10.799
<v Speaker 2>calling it out, I really am. I wish though, for

0:51:10.880 --> 0:51:16.120
<v Speaker 2>the Democrats who are calling out Bilzarian, I wish they

0:51:16.200 --> 0:51:21.319
<v Speaker 2>had a little more courage on their own side of

0:51:21.360 --> 0:51:26.280
<v Speaker 2>the ball though, because there are other campaigns where maybe

0:51:26.280 --> 0:51:31.319
<v Speaker 2>the anti Semitism isn't quite as explicit and blatant. It's

0:51:31.360 --> 0:51:35.080
<v Speaker 2>still very clear what's going on. I mean, even down

0:51:35.120 --> 0:51:39.920
<v Speaker 2>in Florida, you've got two Jewish Democrats on the ballot today,

0:51:41.520 --> 0:51:49.400
<v Speaker 2>Jared Moskowitz and Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Their great sin is

0:51:49.400 --> 0:51:52.239
<v Speaker 2>that they think Israel has a right to exist, and

0:51:52.440 --> 0:51:57.320
<v Speaker 2>for that, they have Democratic Socialists of America opponents and

0:51:57.360 --> 0:52:03.640
<v Speaker 2>their Democratic primaries. They have ilhan Omar down in Florida,

0:52:03.800 --> 0:52:07.840
<v Speaker 2>or at least she was trying to go campaigning against them.

0:52:08.120 --> 0:52:10.879
<v Speaker 2>She's in the Democratic Conference with them, and she's out

0:52:10.880 --> 0:52:15.880
<v Speaker 2>there trying to take them out. I think that we

0:52:16.000 --> 0:52:21.600
<v Speaker 2>need to understand what's happening here. The Democratic Party has

0:52:21.760 --> 0:52:27.480
<v Speaker 2>completely become obsessed with this anti Israel position, and they're

0:52:27.520 --> 0:52:29.960
<v Speaker 2>willing to take out their own people who don't believe

0:52:30.000 --> 0:52:32.279
<v Speaker 2>in it. It's going to be a litmus test for

0:52:32.320 --> 0:52:37.759
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty eight. I'm not ignoring the anti Semitic people

0:52:37.760 --> 0:52:40.439
<v Speaker 2>who come along in the Republican Party. Bilzarian is one,

0:52:40.520 --> 0:52:43.040
<v Speaker 2>this fishback running for governors another.

0:52:43.719 --> 0:52:45.160
<v Speaker 3>They need to be called out as well.

0:52:45.160 --> 0:52:48.360
<v Speaker 2>But it seems to me that Republicans are doing a

0:52:48.440 --> 0:52:52.040
<v Speaker 2>much better job of banishing this hatefulness and anti Semitism

0:52:52.120 --> 0:52:53.000
<v Speaker 2>than the Democrats.

0:52:53.440 --> 0:52:55.120
<v Speaker 3>We'll see what happens in Florida.

0:52:54.760 --> 0:52:57.080
<v Speaker 2>Tonight, but if you live down there around where Randy

0:52:57.160 --> 0:53:01.719
<v Speaker 2>Fine represents, don't be taken in by this Bill'sarian hatefulness.

0:53:02.360 --> 0:53:06.120
<v Speaker 2>Some of the ugliest stuff we've seen in politics this year.

0:53:06.239 --> 0:53:08.719
<v Speaker 2>More News after this, common sense for the American people.

0:53:08.760 --> 0:53:10.200
<v Speaker 2>It's Scott Jennings on sale.

0:53:10.080 --> 0:53:13.840
<v Speaker 7>The voice of reason, common sense for the American people.

0:53:14.120 --> 0:53:16.640
<v Speaker 3>This is the Scott Jenny Show.

0:53:17.680 --> 0:53:21.640
<v Speaker 2>You know I am a fan of the Saint Louis Cardinals.

0:53:21.640 --> 0:53:23.200
<v Speaker 3>If you listen regularly, you know that.

0:53:25.080 --> 0:53:30.120
<v Speaker 2>In fact, I was in Cincinnati last night. Cardinals lost

0:53:30.280 --> 0:53:33.280
<v Speaker 2>the nightcat but won the day side of a double header.

0:53:34.440 --> 0:53:38.200
<v Speaker 2>It's fun to be at the ballpark. I'm a Cardinals fan. Okay,

0:53:39.800 --> 0:53:46.640
<v Speaker 2>we're genteel for the best fans in baseball, and we

0:53:46.680 --> 0:53:52.200
<v Speaker 2>don't typically do things like this. Hollywood Sean, give me

0:53:52.239 --> 0:53:57.719
<v Speaker 2>that tape cut seven last night at Wrigley Field in Chicago,

0:54:00.040 --> 0:54:06.600
<v Speaker 2>White Sox versus Cubs and an absolute all out Mealy

0:54:08.840 --> 0:54:11.880
<v Speaker 2>in the stands. If you're watching the stream, you can

0:54:11.960 --> 0:54:17.840
<v Speaker 2>see it. Disgusting behavior. I'm looking at it right now,

0:54:19.239 --> 0:54:21.240
<v Speaker 2>and you know what I'm thinking to myself, Hollywood Sewan,

0:54:21.280 --> 0:54:27.880
<v Speaker 2>you can't take David Axelrod anywhere. That's not it. I'm kidding,

0:54:28.040 --> 0:54:32.560
<v Speaker 2>that's not him. I texted him though, I said, are

0:54:32.560 --> 0:54:34.760
<v Speaker 2>you in the middle of this brawl? I was sitting

0:54:34.880 --> 0:54:39.120
<v Speaker 2>at Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati, and I knew he

0:54:39.200 --> 0:54:42.520
<v Speaker 2>was at Wrigley, and I had to ask him, are

0:54:42.520 --> 0:54:44.640
<v Speaker 2>you in the middle of this? I about half expected

0:54:44.680 --> 0:54:47.640
<v Speaker 2>to roll this video and see Axel Rod out there

0:54:47.719 --> 0:54:51.960
<v Speaker 2>shirtless throwing haymakers. But no, he was not in the

0:54:51.960 --> 0:54:57.000
<v Speaker 2>middle of it. But some people were got cups flying.

0:54:57.719 --> 0:55:01.360
<v Speaker 2>Come on, people, I know we're on the air in Chicago.

0:55:01.480 --> 0:55:04.720
<v Speaker 2>By the way, you guys got to get a ConTroll

0:55:04.719 --> 0:55:06.280
<v Speaker 2>of your people out there at these games.

0:55:06.280 --> 0:55:07.279
<v Speaker 3>I know they're both good.

0:55:07.360 --> 0:55:10.759
<v Speaker 2>I know tensions are high and the lowly cardinals are

0:55:10.920 --> 0:55:15.000
<v Speaker 2>scraping to try to look up and see into the

0:55:15.000 --> 0:55:17.759
<v Speaker 2>bottom of the wild car, But come on, unbelievable. All right,

0:55:17.800 --> 0:55:21.319
<v Speaker 2>let's get back to business here. The other day, we

0:55:21.360 --> 0:55:23.120
<v Speaker 2>didn't get a chance to cover this when it happened,

0:55:23.120 --> 0:55:25.239
<v Speaker 2>but it seems to me that something we need to

0:55:25.280 --> 0:55:28.080
<v Speaker 2>talk about. Major deal for our national security. The other day,

0:55:28.080 --> 0:55:34.240
<v Speaker 2>President Trump signed a National Security Presidential memorandum targeting US

0:55:34.360 --> 0:55:39.320
<v Speaker 2>naval shipbuilding. It orders future aircraft carriers to ditch modern

0:55:39.600 --> 0:55:44.360
<v Speaker 2>electromagnetic catapults and elevators for old school steam and hydraulic

0:55:44.440 --> 0:55:48.080
<v Speaker 2>system It also allows foreign builders to construct a couple

0:55:48.120 --> 0:55:51.760
<v Speaker 2>of initial US ships abroad to catch up on backlogs

0:55:52.200 --> 0:55:55.960
<v Speaker 2>provided that they invest in domestic shipyards. This is a

0:55:56.000 --> 0:56:00.359
<v Speaker 2>major deal getting the US fleet built out and up

0:56:00.360 --> 0:56:03.360
<v Speaker 2>to speed. Joining us to discuss this and other matters

0:56:03.360 --> 0:56:07.640
<v Speaker 2>of international affairs, Doctor James Robbins, Senior VP for Research

0:56:07.840 --> 0:56:11.840
<v Speaker 2>at the Institute of World Politics, former Special Assistant in

0:56:11.880 --> 0:56:15.480
<v Speaker 2>the Office of the Secretary of Defense. Doctor Robbins, thanks

0:56:15.480 --> 0:56:18.880
<v Speaker 2>for sharing your expertise with us yet again here on

0:56:18.920 --> 0:56:21.640
<v Speaker 2>the Scott Jennings Show. I asked you to come on

0:56:21.760 --> 0:56:24.600
<v Speaker 2>and talk about the shipbuilding. This was all aimed by

0:56:24.640 --> 0:56:28.359
<v Speaker 2>the way at keeping pace with China. Can you help

0:56:28.480 --> 0:56:31.480
<v Speaker 2>educate our audience about this? What was your view of

0:56:31.480 --> 0:56:35.200
<v Speaker 2>the President's memorandum on shipbuilding? Where do we stand and

0:56:35.239 --> 0:56:37.080
<v Speaker 2>where do we have to get to to keep pace

0:56:37.160 --> 0:56:38.040
<v Speaker 2>with our adversaries?

0:56:40.120 --> 0:56:43.280
<v Speaker 16>Oh well, thanks for having me on, Scott. Yeah, us,

0:56:43.320 --> 0:56:45.840
<v Speaker 16>I mean we used to be a preeminent shipbuilder in

0:56:45.880 --> 0:56:48.600
<v Speaker 16>the world and now we aren't. I mean to put

0:56:48.600 --> 0:56:52.480
<v Speaker 16>it mildly, when you look at commercial shipbuilding, for example,

0:56:52.600 --> 0:56:56.640
<v Speaker 16>China builds about half the world ships. Now South Korea

0:56:56.640 --> 0:56:59.839
<v Speaker 16>and Japan to about forty five percent, we're down at

0:56:59.880 --> 0:57:03.160
<v Speaker 16>a fraction of a percent. That's on the commercial side.

0:57:03.640 --> 0:57:06.680
<v Speaker 16>On the military side, we also haven't kept pace. We

0:57:06.760 --> 0:57:09.520
<v Speaker 16>haven't done the investments we need. And you know, the

0:57:09.640 --> 0:57:15.160
<v Speaker 16>United States is dominant in the maritime realm. China's trying

0:57:15.160 --> 0:57:17.320
<v Speaker 16>to catch up to US. China's trying to make a

0:57:17.360 --> 0:57:21.520
<v Speaker 16>bid to challenge US, as see, and they're not quite

0:57:21.560 --> 0:57:24.600
<v Speaker 16>there yet on the military side, but they're getting there.

0:57:24.640 --> 0:57:27.640
<v Speaker 16>They're in the race. And to the extent, we've let

0:57:27.640 --> 0:57:30.840
<v Speaker 16>this capability lapse in our country in terms of both

0:57:30.880 --> 0:57:35.760
<v Speaker 16>the ability to build ships and also having the technical

0:57:35.840 --> 0:57:38.760
<v Speaker 16>skill the manpower to do it, you know, the welders

0:57:38.800 --> 0:57:40.760
<v Speaker 16>and the ship designers and people.

0:57:41.240 --> 0:57:43.360
<v Speaker 3>We really got to get back to that in order

0:57:43.400 --> 0:57:44.479
<v Speaker 3>to maintain our edge.

0:57:44.560 --> 0:57:48.840
<v Speaker 16>So it's great that President Trump is taking care of

0:57:48.880 --> 0:57:52.160
<v Speaker 16>this like President Reagan did back in his day, and

0:57:52.240 --> 0:57:53.720
<v Speaker 16>now it's President Trump's turn.

0:57:53.640 --> 0:57:58.040
<v Speaker 2>To do it. Yeah, Reagan engaged in a massive ship

0:57:58.080 --> 0:57:59.959
<v Speaker 2>building He had what did he call it, the sixth

0:58:00.000 --> 0:58:03.760
<v Speaker 2>one hundred ship Navy Initiative, and so this was something

0:58:03.800 --> 0:58:08.920
<v Speaker 2>that President Reagan took seriously and he massively expanded the fleet.

0:58:09.200 --> 0:58:12.919
<v Speaker 2>I think they added seventy one warships during Reagan's years. Now,

0:58:13.040 --> 0:58:18.080
<v Speaker 2>President Trump has undergone some criticism here for allowing some

0:58:18.280 --> 0:58:23.160
<v Speaker 2>foreign engagement in the shipbuilding. Is that something he should

0:58:23.160 --> 0:58:25.600
<v Speaker 2>be criticized for. How do you view that engagement with

0:58:26.200 --> 0:58:28.880
<v Speaker 2>these ships possibly being built at least in part by

0:58:28.920 --> 0:58:29.840
<v Speaker 2>some of our allies.

0:58:32.000 --> 0:58:34.400
<v Speaker 16>Well, I think if we're going to spool this up quickly,

0:58:35.120 --> 0:58:38.640
<v Speaker 16>we're going to have to engage some of our allies.

0:58:38.200 --> 0:58:41.760
<v Speaker 16>He is instructing that we build a fifth shipyard. We

0:58:41.800 --> 0:58:44.400
<v Speaker 16>have four military shipyards right now, he's going to add

0:58:44.400 --> 0:58:48.000
<v Speaker 16>another one. But when we're talking about a build up

0:58:48.080 --> 0:58:51.320
<v Speaker 16>at the speed and scale that we need, we just

0:58:51.360 --> 0:58:54.720
<v Speaker 16>don't have the capacity to do it. So engaging some

0:58:54.800 --> 0:58:57.720
<v Speaker 16>of our allies to help out with this is important.

0:58:58.200 --> 0:59:00.720
<v Speaker 16>And again the human side of that, it's just having

0:59:00.760 --> 0:59:03.360
<v Speaker 16>the people to do it. We need to train up

0:59:03.400 --> 0:59:06.720
<v Speaker 16>a whole nother generation of shipbuilders in order to be

0:59:06.800 --> 0:59:09.360
<v Speaker 16>able to do these things. So part of this deal

0:59:09.640 --> 0:59:11.920
<v Speaker 16>is that our workers will be able to work with

0:59:12.000 --> 0:59:15.160
<v Speaker 16>the foreign workers in order to get these skills and

0:59:15.200 --> 0:59:19.880
<v Speaker 16>then bring them back as private investment in our domestic side,

0:59:19.920 --> 0:59:22.640
<v Speaker 16>which our foreign allies are also going to help with.

0:59:23.760 --> 0:59:27.040
<v Speaker 2>Now, some people doctor Robbins are out there arguing that

0:59:27.080 --> 0:59:29.840
<v Speaker 2>we already spend too much money on national defense in fact,

0:59:29.840 --> 0:59:32.640
<v Speaker 2>a lot of these Democrats who are running in primaries

0:59:32.640 --> 0:59:35.400
<v Speaker 2>around the country this year are arguing for massive reductions

0:59:35.400 --> 0:59:36.440
<v Speaker 2>in defense spending.

0:59:37.160 --> 0:59:39.760
<v Speaker 3>What's your view? You know, they say, we ought to

0:59:39.760 --> 0:59:40.959
<v Speaker 3>spend this money on other things.

0:59:41.040 --> 0:59:44.200
<v Speaker 2>There's other you know, spending hawks that want to dial

0:59:44.280 --> 0:59:47.200
<v Speaker 2>back defense spending as part of a larger, you know,

0:59:47.240 --> 0:59:49.720
<v Speaker 2>austerity program. What's your view. Can we afford to do

0:59:49.800 --> 0:59:52.680
<v Speaker 2>this right now or is it something that we can't

0:59:52.680 --> 0:59:53.240
<v Speaker 2>afford not.

0:59:53.240 --> 0:59:53.680
<v Speaker 5>To do.

0:59:55.960 --> 0:59:56.160
<v Speaker 11>Well.

0:59:56.440 --> 0:59:58.360
<v Speaker 3>I'd put it more in the latter category.

0:59:58.480 --> 1:00:01.240
<v Speaker 16>I mean, we're spending more on an interest on the

1:00:01.320 --> 1:00:04.840
<v Speaker 16>debt than we are on national security right now. And

1:00:04.880 --> 1:00:07.560
<v Speaker 16>when you look at it as all of the budget,

1:00:07.640 --> 1:00:11.000
<v Speaker 16>not just the discretionary spending, but even the non discretionary

1:00:11.080 --> 1:00:13.720
<v Speaker 16>all the other things that people like, you know, these

1:00:13.760 --> 1:00:17.520
<v Speaker 16>progressives want to spend more money on, national security is

1:00:17.600 --> 1:00:20.400
<v Speaker 16>just a fraction of that. So yeah, I think it

1:00:20.400 --> 1:00:23.800
<v Speaker 16>would be good to be able to make these investments now,

1:00:24.360 --> 1:00:27.360
<v Speaker 16>not only in terms of building up what we need

1:00:27.440 --> 1:00:30.240
<v Speaker 16>right now, but also investing in future technology to be

1:00:30.280 --> 1:00:34.480
<v Speaker 16>able to do more for lower costs, which seems to

1:00:34.520 --> 1:00:36.960
<v Speaker 16>be the way things are trending with missile technology and

1:00:37.040 --> 1:00:41.360
<v Speaker 16>drones and cyber and space technology. We really can't afford

1:00:41.400 --> 1:00:44.080
<v Speaker 16>to get behind on any of these things, and we

1:00:44.320 --> 1:00:46.760
<v Speaker 16>kind of are a little bit behind on some of them.

1:00:46.920 --> 1:00:49.920
<v Speaker 16>So to say that, well, we could better spend this

1:00:50.560 --> 1:00:53.200
<v Speaker 16>on something else, well, on what I mean.

1:00:53.360 --> 1:00:54.240
<v Speaker 3>When you look at.

1:00:54.120 --> 1:00:57.440
<v Speaker 16>The federal budget as a whole, most of the money

1:00:57.520 --> 1:01:00.680
<v Speaker 16>is being spent on other things. A lot of these

1:01:00.720 --> 1:01:03.800
<v Speaker 16>are the kind of social programs and add ons that

1:01:03.800 --> 1:01:05.120
<v Speaker 16>the progressives want to see.

1:01:05.120 --> 1:01:06.320
<v Speaker 3>They just want more of it.

1:01:06.760 --> 1:01:08.400
<v Speaker 16>I think some of them would be happy if we

1:01:08.480 --> 1:01:11.440
<v Speaker 16>just got rid of defense, but you know, obviously we

1:01:11.480 --> 1:01:11.920
<v Speaker 16>can't do that.

1:01:11.960 --> 1:01:12.560
<v Speaker 3>Agree.

1:01:13.200 --> 1:01:15.960
<v Speaker 2>Doctor James Robbins is with the Institute of World Politics,

1:01:16.040 --> 1:01:19.360
<v Speaker 2>national security expert, long career in the field. One more

1:01:19.440 --> 1:01:23.320
<v Speaker 2>question on the ships France and China are moving toward

1:01:23.560 --> 1:01:29.960
<v Speaker 2>electromagnetic carrier launch systems. President likes the steam hydraulic launch systems.

1:01:30.000 --> 1:01:32.080
<v Speaker 2>He got some criticism. I was watching some of the

1:01:32.120 --> 1:01:35.600
<v Speaker 2>cable back and forth on this. I'm not a shipbuilding expert,

1:01:35.760 --> 1:01:38.400
<v Speaker 2>nor do I have any real idea what impact this

1:01:38.440 --> 1:01:41.400
<v Speaker 2>would have on a ship's capability in a war zone.

1:01:41.440 --> 1:01:43.720
<v Speaker 2>What's your view? Is President right or wrong? Or does

1:01:43.760 --> 1:01:46.440
<v Speaker 2>it matter as it relates to this launching systems that

1:01:46.480 --> 1:01:47.040
<v Speaker 2>he prefers.

1:01:49.240 --> 1:01:50.960
<v Speaker 16>Well, I got to talk to some of my naval

1:01:51.000 --> 1:01:54.520
<v Speaker 16>aviator friends about this, But what I suspect the problem

1:01:54.640 --> 1:01:59.520
<v Speaker 16>is is that with the new electromagnetic launch systems and

1:01:59.600 --> 1:02:04.560
<v Speaker 16>other electronic based systems for these ships, they present vulnerabilities

1:02:05.880 --> 1:02:10.360
<v Speaker 16>where they can be interdicted or you know, with EMP

1:02:10.760 --> 1:02:13.680
<v Speaker 16>or other things that can disable them. Whereas some of

1:02:13.720 --> 1:02:17.640
<v Speaker 16>the hydraulic and steam systems they're older, they're reliable, they're

1:02:17.640 --> 1:02:21.160
<v Speaker 16>time tested, and they're mechanical, so they're not going to

1:02:21.160 --> 1:02:23.200
<v Speaker 16>break down in the same way that some of these

1:02:23.200 --> 1:02:25.880
<v Speaker 16>other things can. And when we have a supply chain

1:02:26.680 --> 1:02:29.120
<v Speaker 16>where a lot of our chips are coming from countries

1:02:29.280 --> 1:02:31.680
<v Speaker 16>that you know some of them are friends, maybe you

1:02:31.720 --> 1:02:33.760
<v Speaker 16>know some of them aren't, and we don't exactly know

1:02:33.800 --> 1:02:36.120
<v Speaker 16>where some of them are coming from, it's probably a

1:02:36.160 --> 1:02:40.000
<v Speaker 16>good idea to maintain at least a few critical systems

1:02:40.480 --> 1:02:43.000
<v Speaker 16>that are resistant to those types of problems.

1:02:44.160 --> 1:02:46.480
<v Speaker 2>See that's the kind of sober analysis you're not getting

1:02:46.520 --> 1:02:50.080
<v Speaker 2>on cable right now. The problem with this is nobody

1:02:50.200 --> 1:02:53.320
<v Speaker 2>sitting out there is an expert, and so the president

1:02:53.360 --> 1:02:55.400
<v Speaker 2>does something, so they have to reflexively come up with

1:02:55.400 --> 1:02:57.240
<v Speaker 2>a reason why. It's a terrible idea. You come on

1:02:57.280 --> 1:02:59.600
<v Speaker 2>here and say, wait a minute, there's actually a several

1:02:59.600 --> 1:03:01.960
<v Speaker 2>good iyea good reasons why do you want to do this?

1:03:02.080 --> 1:03:04.560
<v Speaker 2>So thank you for your expertise, doctor Robins. We've got

1:03:04.600 --> 1:03:06.080
<v Speaker 2>a couple of minutes. I got to do a quick

1:03:06.160 --> 1:03:09.760
<v Speaker 2>round robin with you on some other international affairs matters.

1:03:09.840 --> 1:03:13.880
<v Speaker 2>Let's skip over to Russia Ukraine. It's amazing Ukrainians are

1:03:13.880 --> 1:03:17.400
<v Speaker 2>pushing the Russians back and they're striking deep into Russian territory.

1:03:17.720 --> 1:03:19.600
<v Speaker 2>What's your view of the conflict right now? Are we

1:03:19.680 --> 1:03:23.120
<v Speaker 2>anywhere near the possibility of getting this settled or do

1:03:23.120 --> 1:03:24.720
<v Speaker 2>you think the war's going to last for a long

1:03:24.760 --> 1:03:27.240
<v Speaker 2>time still?

1:03:27.360 --> 1:03:29.240
<v Speaker 3>Well, I don't think it's going to get settled.

1:03:29.560 --> 1:03:32.640
<v Speaker 16>Putin shows absolutely no willingness to come to any kind

1:03:32.640 --> 1:03:35.479
<v Speaker 16>of reasonable deal. I think the Ukrainians might want to deal,

1:03:35.680 --> 1:03:38.320
<v Speaker 16>but they're just not getting that from the Russians. But

1:03:38.640 --> 1:03:41.480
<v Speaker 16>Ukrainians have been doing an amazing job with their deep

1:03:41.520 --> 1:03:45.680
<v Speaker 16>strike kind of operations, interdicting the Russians, just really creating

1:03:45.960 --> 1:03:49.480
<v Speaker 16>havoc for them with their drund strikes. We're seeing casualty

1:03:49.560 --> 1:03:52.520
<v Speaker 16>rates on the Russian side now of like over forty

1:03:52.520 --> 1:03:54.000
<v Speaker 16>five thousand people a month.

1:03:54.440 --> 1:03:55.480
<v Speaker 3>I mean, think about that.

1:03:55.600 --> 1:04:00.440
<v Speaker 16>Think if you're losing casualties fifteen hundred a day, that

1:04:00.480 --> 1:04:03.960
<v Speaker 16>if that was our situation with a conflict we were in,

1:04:04.040 --> 1:04:06.800
<v Speaker 16>I mean, that wouldn't keep going. We would just end it.

1:04:07.280 --> 1:04:10.160
<v Speaker 16>But Putin doesn't seem to care. So I think this

1:04:10.320 --> 1:04:13.280
<v Speaker 16>is just going to continue, and Russia's just going to

1:04:13.320 --> 1:04:14.400
<v Speaker 16>continue to be punished.

1:04:15.680 --> 1:04:16.640
<v Speaker 3>Korean Peninsula.

1:04:16.680 --> 1:04:20.400
<v Speaker 2>The President scaling back significantly some wargame efforts we had

1:04:20.400 --> 1:04:21.480
<v Speaker 2>with the South Koreans.

1:04:22.080 --> 1:04:24.520
<v Speaker 3>You saw what he said about his relationship with Kim

1:04:24.600 --> 1:04:26.880
<v Speaker 3>Jong un. What do you make of that?

1:04:29.240 --> 1:04:31.320
<v Speaker 16>Well, here's an angle on this. I mean, number one,

1:04:31.360 --> 1:04:33.760
<v Speaker 16>the South Koreans probably should have been a little bit

1:04:33.800 --> 1:04:38.360
<v Speaker 16>forthcoming about the President asking for assistance with respect to Iran.

1:04:39.000 --> 1:04:41.280
<v Speaker 16>After all, they're the ones who import energy through the

1:04:41.280 --> 1:04:43.840
<v Speaker 16>straight of horror moves, not us. But the other side

1:04:43.840 --> 1:04:47.760
<v Speaker 16>of this is North Korea has been one of Iran's

1:04:47.800 --> 1:04:50.919
<v Speaker 16>major partners in terms of developing their nuclear technology.

1:04:51.440 --> 1:04:52.680
<v Speaker 3>So it's probably a.

1:04:52.600 --> 1:04:55.560
<v Speaker 16>Pretty good idea to get you back in discussions with

1:04:55.640 --> 1:04:59.440
<v Speaker 16>North Korea in order to interdict that side of Iran's

1:04:59.520 --> 1:05:02.440
<v Speaker 16>nuclear I mean, it'd be nice if the South Koreans

1:05:02.440 --> 1:05:04.280
<v Speaker 16>we're a little more cooperative, But if we can get

1:05:04.320 --> 1:05:08.160
<v Speaker 16>North Quid to cooperate, that'll really cripple where Ron can do.

1:05:09.560 --> 1:05:12.840
<v Speaker 2>All right, that boys, Doctor James Robbins, Senior Vice president

1:05:12.880 --> 1:05:16.680
<v Speaker 2>for Research at the Institute of World Politics, former Special

1:05:16.720 --> 1:05:20.440
<v Speaker 2>Assistant in the Office of the Secretary of Defense, long

1:05:20.680 --> 1:05:24.480
<v Speaker 2>history advocating for American national security. Doctor Robbins, thanks as

1:05:24.480 --> 1:05:25.680
<v Speaker 2>always for your expertise.

1:05:27.480 --> 1:05:30.400
<v Speaker 3>Thanks Scott, It's my pleasure, all right, see you soon,

1:05:30.520 --> 1:05:30.960
<v Speaker 3>my friend.

1:05:31.000 --> 1:05:35.840
<v Speaker 2>Okay, let's talk about sleeping arrangements, specifically, what kind of

1:05:35.880 --> 1:05:39.560
<v Speaker 2>bed are you sleeping on, and if you're sleeping on

1:05:39.640 --> 1:05:43.000
<v Speaker 2>a bed that you constantly are waking up in sweaty

1:05:43.960 --> 1:05:48.520
<v Speaker 2>to summertime, it's hot out there, you may, no, not may,

1:05:48.880 --> 1:05:53.600
<v Speaker 2>you should consider a new mattress, and you should consider

1:05:53.640 --> 1:05:58.200
<v Speaker 2>it coming from ghost bed. I'm sleeping on a ghost bed.

1:05:58.520 --> 1:06:02.040
<v Speaker 2>I've switched. I'm sold. I don't like to sleep hot.

1:06:02.680 --> 1:06:04.680
<v Speaker 2>I want it cool. I don't want to wake up

1:06:04.720 --> 1:06:09.160
<v Speaker 2>at two am stuck to the covers. Cooling technology is

1:06:09.200 --> 1:06:12.320
<v Speaker 2>built into every ghostbed mattress, so you don't have to

1:06:12.360 --> 1:06:14.280
<v Speaker 2>pay for the upgrade. You get it no matter which

1:06:14.320 --> 1:06:17.800
<v Speaker 2>mattress that you buy. They have great customer support. My

1:06:18.040 --> 1:06:21.680
<v Speaker 2>audience right now gets ten percent off if you order it.

1:06:22.200 --> 1:06:24.880
<v Speaker 2>They'll give you one hundred and one nights to try

1:06:24.920 --> 1:06:25.840
<v Speaker 2>the ghost bed.

1:06:26.400 --> 1:06:27.360

1:06:43.800 --> 1:06:47.880
<v Speaker 2>just how cool you feel when you wake up in

1:06:47.920 --> 1:06:52.720
<v Speaker 2>the morning. These aren't haunted, but they are amazing ghostbd.

<v Speaker 2>Try it out today. Wrap up the show after this,

1:06:55.400 --> 1:06:56.000
<v Speaker 2>it's Scott on.

1:06:56.000 --> 1:06:58.400
<v Speaker 7>Salem common sense for the American people.

1:06:58.920 --> 1:07:00.200
<v Speaker 3>This is the scot Chetty.

1:07:02.080 --> 1:07:05.560
<v Speaker 2>To wrap up the show here on Tuesday, August the eighteenth,

1:07:05.680 --> 1:07:10.440
<v Speaker 2>by asking you all for a favor. I have a

1:07:10.440 --> 1:07:14.200
<v Speaker 2>friend named Brad Todd. You may know Brad. He's been

1:07:14.240 --> 1:07:16.880
<v Speaker 2>on the show a few times. You see him on

1:07:16.960 --> 1:07:22.120
<v Speaker 2>CNN sometimes. He is a Republican political strategist. If you're

1:07:22.160 --> 1:07:24.720
<v Speaker 2>watching the stream, you can see him there on the

1:07:24.720 --> 1:07:27.520
<v Speaker 2>set with Casey Hunt over at CNN. He's on the

1:07:27.720 --> 1:07:31.000
<v Speaker 2>X platform, by the way. At Brad on Message. His

1:07:31.080 --> 1:07:34.360
<v Speaker 2>firm is called on message. Brad and I are great friends.

1:07:34.360 --> 1:07:38.520
<v Speaker 2>We've known each other for a very long time. And

1:07:39.040 --> 1:07:40.960
<v Speaker 2>what I would like to ask you all to do

1:07:42.680 --> 1:07:46.720
<v Speaker 2>is to pray for my friend Brad. He's out now,

1:07:47.120 --> 1:07:52.920
<v Speaker 2>but yesterday he went in for cancer surgery. I'm going

1:07:53.000 --> 1:07:55.840
<v Speaker 2>to actually, I'm want to read this to you. Brad

1:07:55.880 --> 1:08:01.000
<v Speaker 2>posted this yesterday. This afternoon, maybe even as you read this.

1:08:01.080 --> 1:08:04.400
<v Speaker 2>I'll be in a long surgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital

1:08:05.120 --> 1:08:09.680
<v Speaker 2>to remove a nasty, high grade malignant tumor from my

1:08:10.000 --> 1:08:13.600
<v Speaker 2>fmoid sinus. It's a distant cousin of the cancer blob

1:08:14.240 --> 1:08:18.840
<v Speaker 2>that I had cut out in twenty twenty.

1:08:20.840 --> 1:08:23.080
<v Speaker 3>This is interesting. Actually this happened in twenty twenty.

1:08:23.080 --> 1:08:28.000
<v Speaker 2>Brad says after an unnecessary COVID test speared loose a

1:08:28.120 --> 1:08:30.599
<v Speaker 2>hunk of tumor I did not know was there.

1:08:31.439 --> 1:08:32.040
<v Speaker 3>I remember this.

1:08:32.200 --> 1:08:37.360
<v Speaker 2>Brad went to get a COVID test and it speared

1:08:37.400 --> 1:08:39.280
<v Speaker 2>a chunk of this tumor. That's how he found out

1:08:39.360 --> 1:08:42.920
<v Speaker 2>he had it. So, he says, the pandemic saved my

1:08:43.000 --> 1:08:46.040
<v Speaker 2>life once, and it put me in contact with the

1:08:46.040 --> 1:08:51.080
<v Speaker 2>Crackerjack medical team at the world's best autorinology unit that

1:08:51.240 --> 1:08:55.960
<v Speaker 2>will save it again. Sinus tumors are rare, though I

1:08:56.040 --> 1:08:59.040
<v Speaker 2>prefer the term exceptional, as only hundreds of people a

1:08:59.160 --> 1:09:02.960
<v Speaker 2>year battle the kinds of tumors. After what will be

1:09:02.960 --> 1:09:05.000
<v Speaker 2>a rough post surgery recovery, I.

1:09:04.920 --> 1:09:09.920
<v Speaker 3>Will get radiation and maybe some chemotherapy.

1:09:11.720 --> 1:09:15.719
<v Speaker 2>So Brad goes on on his blog to talk about

1:09:16.080 --> 1:09:21.360
<v Speaker 2>his experience. I bring this up because Brad's one of

1:09:21.360 --> 1:09:26.240
<v Speaker 2>the good guys. Brads, He's a good Republican consultant. He

1:09:26.240 --> 1:09:29.160
<v Speaker 2>fights hard for his party, he fights hard for conservative values.

1:09:29.200 --> 1:09:30.920
<v Speaker 3>From Tennessee, by the way.

1:09:31.680 --> 1:09:35.400
<v Speaker 2>But you know, you meet people in Washington, and Brad's

1:09:35.439 --> 1:09:38.960
<v Speaker 2>one of the good guys, and it's a reminder that

1:09:41.360 --> 1:09:44.519
<v Speaker 2>we fight these battles. We fight hard against each other.

1:09:46.000 --> 1:09:48.439
<v Speaker 2>We go at each other and we do what we

1:09:48.479 --> 1:09:51.200
<v Speaker 2>think is right for the country, and we say hard things,

1:09:51.280 --> 1:09:57.400
<v Speaker 2>and we say things with sharp edges. Politicians say things

1:09:57.400 --> 1:10:00.400
<v Speaker 2>about each other. You know, it gets nasty. Election is

1:10:00.400 --> 1:10:03.559
<v Speaker 2>going to get nasty. I'm certainly going to be guilty

1:10:03.600 --> 1:10:08.519
<v Speaker 2>of saying sharp edged things, true things. I'll give you

1:10:08.560 --> 1:10:11.479
<v Speaker 2>the facts, but they're going to be sharp. I won't

1:10:11.479 --> 1:10:14.800
<v Speaker 2>pull any punches when it comes to saving America and

1:10:14.800 --> 1:10:19.360
<v Speaker 2>saving Western civilization. But I bring up Brad's story because

1:10:19.360 --> 1:10:22.280
<v Speaker 2>I'd love for you to pray for Brad and his recovery.

1:10:23.120 --> 1:10:26.800
<v Speaker 2>But I also think we should remember that even as

1:10:26.880 --> 1:10:34.320
<v Speaker 2>we're battling people, we're all just people. Yes we're political people.

1:10:35.000 --> 1:10:39.680
<v Speaker 2>Yes the politicians represent a party, but underneath it all,

1:10:39.680 --> 1:10:43.519
<v Speaker 2>they're just human beings and they all live their lives and

1:10:43.560 --> 1:10:46.479
<v Speaker 2>they all go through the same things that any ordinary

1:10:47.160 --> 1:10:54.800
<v Speaker 2>American goes through. People get cancer, other illnesses, people have

1:10:54.840 --> 1:10:57.080
<v Speaker 2>things that go on in their households and in their

1:10:57.120 --> 1:11:01.559
<v Speaker 2>families that they're just like us. And I think sometimes

1:11:01.600 --> 1:11:08.120
<v Speaker 2>in politics it's easy to dehumanize folks who work in it.

1:11:08.120 --> 1:11:11.840
<v Speaker 2>It's easy to commoditize them, treat them like something other

1:11:11.920 --> 1:11:15.800
<v Speaker 2>than just a human being. And so I've just wanted

1:11:15.800 --> 1:11:18.720
<v Speaker 2>to close the show today by telling you about my

1:11:18.760 --> 1:11:22.040
<v Speaker 2>friend Brad Todd. Hope to get a few prayers from

1:11:22.080 --> 1:11:25.800
<v Speaker 2>you all out there for Brad's recovery, and it's a

1:11:25.800 --> 1:11:28.519
<v Speaker 2>good chance for us to remember that amidst all the

1:11:28.600 --> 1:11:32.200
<v Speaker 2>ranker in politics, we can still be humans to each

1:11:32.240 --> 1:11:36.040
<v Speaker 2>other and pray for each other when something goes awry,

1:11:36.280 --> 1:11:40.160
<v Speaker 2>like this cancer for Brad Todd. One other story that

1:11:40.720 --> 1:11:42.920
<v Speaker 2>we're tracking here I don't think I have time to

1:11:42.920 --> 1:11:46.240
<v Speaker 2>play it now. Well, maybe Trump had the kid lifeguard

1:11:46.280 --> 1:11:48.280
<v Speaker 2>the Oval. Let's get it in real quick cut five.

1:11:48.520 --> 1:11:49.120
<v Speaker 2>This is a.

1:11:49.040 --> 1:11:53.720
<v Speaker 12>Great story and it's an honor to be with writer Williams,

1:11:53.720 --> 1:11:59.479
<v Speaker 12>who is a sixteen year old lifeguard California, the Santa

1:11:59.479 --> 1:12:04.800
<v Speaker 12>Cruz area. And I understand he was a winner right

1:12:04.840 --> 1:12:06.799
<v Speaker 12>from the time they first saw him as a lifeguard

1:12:06.760 --> 1:12:09.120
<v Speaker 12>and a lot of training, a lot of work, and

1:12:09.240 --> 1:12:10.679
<v Speaker 12>he saved this young gentleman.

1:12:11.320 --> 1:12:11.599
<v Speaker 7>Boy.

1:12:12.280 --> 1:12:14.479
<v Speaker 12>Had a long talk with I said, would you have

1:12:14.600 --> 1:12:16.920
<v Speaker 12>made it without him? And you said not really right.

1:12:18.800 --> 1:12:20.040
<v Speaker 3>Great moment in the Oval.

1:12:20.560 --> 1:12:23.920
<v Speaker 2>President Trump brought in the young lifeguard who saved the

1:12:24.320 --> 1:12:27.160
<v Speaker 2>life of that other young man. Happened a few weeks ago.

1:12:27.479 --> 1:12:29.679
<v Speaker 2>Really great use of the Oval. We're done for the day,

1:12:29.840 --> 1:12:31.639
<v Speaker 2>see you tomorrow. It's Scott Jennings on Salem.
