1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: The voice of free speech and the truth delivery common

2
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:12,959
Speaker 1: sense for the American people. Welcome to the Scott Jenning Show.

3
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 2: The Nation says farewell to a patriot. Today will bring

4
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:21,360

7
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 2: events today, and President Trump is expected to speak at

8
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 2: that to eastern service in the National Cathedral. We'll keep

9
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 2: you updated on this sad day in Washington, d C.

10
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:44,200
Speaker 2: Many world leaders are gathered in Washington for the Graham services,

11
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 2: including Zelenski of Ukraine and Netan Yahoo of Israel, and

12
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,840
Speaker 2: both were in the Oval Office with Trump this morning

13
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 2: separate meetings. We have the latest on that. Ladies and gentlemen,

14
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 2: Our show today is going to be a little bit fluid.

15
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 2: We're going to track the breaking new, talk to you experts,

16
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 2: and keep you updated on what's happening in Washington. Stay

17
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 2: with us here throughout the day for the best coverage

18
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 2: and analysis.

19
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 3: Today is Tuesday, July twenty eighth.

20
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 2: I'm Scott Jennings, broadcasting for Salem, and we come to

21
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 2: you live today from Reno, Nevada, where tonight I will

22
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 2: address the Nevada Public Policy Institute. On this day, eighteen

23
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 2: sixty eight, Secretary of State William Seward certified one of

24
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 2: the most consequential changes ever made to the US Constitution.

25
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 2: He certified the Fourteenth Amendment had been ratified by three

26
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 2: quarters of the states, making it an official part of

27
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 2: our governing document. Why did we need this amendment? The

28
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,479
Speaker 2: Civil War had ended, slavery had been abolished, but Southern

29
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 2: states were passing black codes designed to deny newly freed

30
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 2: slaves the basic rights of citizenship. So Congress passed the

31
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:57,279
Speaker 2: Fourteenth in eighteen sixty six. It declared that no state

32
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 2: could deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without

33
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 2: due process, or deny any person the equal protection of

34
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 2: the laws. But its most important words came first quote

35
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 2: all persons born or naturalized in the United States and

36
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 2: subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the United States.

37
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:23,239
Speaker 2: That sentence overturned the Supreme Court's infamous dread Scott decision,

38
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 2: which had declared that black Americans could not be citizens.

39
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 2: Let's be clear about the history. The amendment was written

40
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 2: after the Civil War to secure citizenship for freed slaves

41
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 2: and their children, not to address illegal immigration, a modern

42
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 2: crisis the authors could scarcely have imagined. But as the

43
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 2: years war on, those words, born in the United States

44
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 2: and subject to the jurisdiction thereof became the foundation for

45
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 2: birthright citizenship, including for children whose parents had entered the

46
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,959
Speaker 2: country illegally. The debate reached the Supreme Court just last month.

47
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 2: Month by a six to three vote, the Court ruled

48
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 2: that children born here to illegal or temporary immigrants remain

49
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 2: citizens under the Fourteenth Amendment. They struck down an executive

50
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 2: order signed by President Trump earlier this year, an amendment

51
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 2: written to correct one of America's greatest injustices, now sits

52
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 2: at the center of one of America's most contentious debates

53
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 2: over illegal immigration, and all of it became in force

54
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 2: on this day, July twenty eighth, eighteen sixty eight. In

55
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 2: today's news, Washington, d c. Is at the center of

56
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 2: our conversation. This is perhaps one of the saddest, most interesting,

57
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 2: and consequential days of the Trump presidency. Two of the

58
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 2: world leaders who have come to Washington to pay respects

59
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 2: to Senator Graham have met with President Trump already today

60
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 2: Zolenski and Netanyahu. First up this morning was Zolensky, and

61
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 2: a positive statement is out from the Ukrainian leader following

62
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 2: his talks with President Trump. Here it is, and I

63
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 2: quote Zelensky, a good meeting with President Trump at the

64
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 2: Oval Office. Thank you for everything we do together to

65
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 2: protect the lives of Ukrainians and advance peace. First and foremost,

66
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 2: I offered President Trump our condolences on the passing of

67
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 2: Lindsay Graham. He was a true friend of Ukraine. The

68
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 2: President and I discussed licenses for Patriot interceptor production and

69
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 2: several other ideas that could help. We also spoke about diplomacy.

70
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 2: It's important that the diplomatic process be reinvigorated. Our teams

71
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 2: will arrange the details of the further communication. I am

72
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 2: grateful to the United States for its firm support. That's

73
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 2: the statement of Voldemir Zelensky after meeting with Donald Trump

74
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 2: in the Oval Office. After that, it was in with

75
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 2: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and that meeting has just concluded.

76
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 2: The White House Press Secretary called this and the Zelenski

77
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 2: meetings good and productive. We've seen pictures of both of

78
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 2: the in the oval, everyone's smiling. We saw pictures of

79
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 2: quite a few aids gathered there, military and diplomatic. We

80
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 2: have no video yet, and the President did not take questions.

81
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 2: Taken together, these two meetings represent time spent on foreign

82
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 2: policy matters that will come to define a good chunk

83
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 2: of President Trump's legacy. President called into Fox News to

84
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 2: start his day this morning. Let's hear some of that

85
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 2: and cut seventeen.

86
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:27,840
Speaker 4: This is actually a good time to make a deal

87
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 4: for them. If they don't make a deal, then I

88
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 4: go back and I finished the job. But that's going

89
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 4: to take them forever to rebuild. Already, it'll take them

90
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 4: many years to ever to rebuild. And if I go

91
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 4: back and finish up the job, as some people would like.

92
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 4: With the bridges, with the very easy I could take

93
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 4: out most of their bridges in less than an hour,

94
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 4: less than an hour, but you know, it takes them

95
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 4: ten years to build a bridge. Bridges take the longest.

96
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 4: And power plans, for a second, I can knock out

97
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 4: the power plants within one day, all of their power

98
00:05:59,200 --> 00:05:59,919
Speaker 4: plants would.

99
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 2: Be President Trump calling into Fox News, of course, talking

100
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 2: about what might happen next in Iran. So here are

101
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 2: the questions we have today. Can the Russians be repelled

102
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 2: and can diplomacy take hold after three plus years of

103
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 2: bloody fighting in Europe? Can the Iranian terror regime be

104
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 2: subdued and the world assured that these butchers in Tehran

105
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 2: cannot get a nuclear weapon? And what of the future

106
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 2: of the US Israeli Alliance, the principal partnership right now

107
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 2: fighting for the future of Western civilization, even as much

108
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 2: of the traditional West allows itself to be overrun by

109
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 2: radical Islamists. In the Oval Office today, these matters were discussed,

110
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 2: and the center of it all the American President Donald Trump,

111
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 2: holding conversations that will be the talk of historians for

112
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 2: years to come. Elsewhere in Washington is those conversations unfolded. Senators, congressmen,

113
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 2: many of our political leaders in both parties paid tribute

114
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 2: to Lindsay Graham in the US capital. The Vice President,

115
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 2: as President of the Senate, spoke to those gathered there

116
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 2: in the rotunda about his memories. Here's vance cut fourteen.

117
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 5: I remember on that campaign trail where you know you're

118
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 5: trying to raise money, and one of the ways that

119
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 5: you raise money is you send people to your campaign website,

120
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 5: and I said, Lindsay, before one of these Fox hits

121
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,679
Speaker 5: on the campaign trail, I said, Lindsey, could you maybe

122
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 5: mention the website jdvance dot com. And over a four

123
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 5: minute interview he must have mentioned jdvans dot com close

124
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 5: to a dozen times.

125
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 6: The host would ask.

126
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 5: How is the weather, and Lindsay would say, well, before

127
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 5: I check the weather, I always go to jdvance dot com.

128
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 5: And in a four or five minute TV appearance, Lindsey

129
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 5: Graham raised us over one hundred thousand dollars. And that

130
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 5: campaign stop was a critical part of me getting elected

131
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 5: to the United States Senate and of course going on

132
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 5: this incredible journey. That was who Lindsey Graham.

133
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 2: Was humorous anecdote there from the Vice President on a

134
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 2: more serious note, he described Graham as someone who knew

135
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 2: how to work Washington to achieve outcomes Cut thirteen.

136
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 5: So I choose to remember Lindsey Graham as a man

137
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 5: who could disagree with you without being disagreeable. I choose

138
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 5: to remember Lindsey Graham as a person who could fight

139
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 5: with you on one issue, but fight for you on

140
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 5: another issue. I remember Lindsey Graham as a man who loved.

141
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 6: People, and because he loved people, he.

142
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 5: Was willing to reason with him, to respect them, and

143
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,679
Speaker 5: ultimately to persuade them.

144
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 2: Now, later this afternoon two o'clock Eastern, Lindsay Graham's funeral

145
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 2: will began at the National Cathedral in the Hills of

146
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 2: Northwest Washington, d C. We intend to bring you detailed

147
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 2: statements and perha some live coverage of that proceeding as

148
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 2: it unfolds. President Trump is scheduled to speak. We'll keep

149
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 2: an eye on this and we will describe the unvolding

150
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 2: events for you. Had a major earthquake and other news

151
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 2: today in Japan six point eight magnitude, killing at least

152
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:13,959
Speaker 2: one person injuring dozens more buildings collapsed, Fires erupted across

153
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 2: the Kumamoto prefecture, and rescuers are searching for people trapped

154
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 2: inside homes and in a damaged shopping mall. Sections of

155
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 2: a major expressway broke apart, Trains in the regional airport

156
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 2: were shut down. Officials say earthquakes of a similar strength

157
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 2: remain possible in the coming days. Markets are green today,

158
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 2: oil trading seventy eight dollars a barrel. I guess that

159
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 2: number will disappear from your cable news coverage. Now that

160
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:42,439
Speaker 2: it's under eighty dollars again, let's talk supplements when you're

161
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 2: thinking about them. Only two things matter. Do they work?

162
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 2: And can I trust it? You know how we feel

163
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 2: about Relief Factor, but I think it would be helpful

164
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:51,559
Speaker 2: for you to hear from our customers.

165
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 3: Here's one Mark.

166
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:58,439
Speaker 2: Mark was in tears from his daily hand joint discomfort,

167
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 2: but after a week of Relief Factor, he said, I

168
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 2: have felt fifty percent better and now now Mark barely

169
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 2: notices any pain. Also loves the customer service. He's so

170
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 2: happy that he's spreading the word. Mark is just one

171
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 2: of many stories we get here about Relief Factor. Could

172
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 2: you be the next Relief Factor story? Maybe a three

173
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,480

180

Speaker 2: when we come back. Have you heard of the Fauci Diaries?

181
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 2: I have some thoughts after this. It's Scott Jennings on

182
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 2: Salem a breaking news day. Stay with us who answers

183

Speaker 2: is helping fuel national energy security. Their US production has

185
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 2: increased by nearly sixty percent in the past three years,

186
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 2: and with plans to invest over ten billion dollars in

187
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 2: US energy projects this year, they're helping boost economies, create

188
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:13,720

191
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,319
Speaker 1: One man standing tall against the leftist mob.

192
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 6: Here's Scott Jennings.

193
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 2: It is Tuesday, July twenty eighth. This is common sense

194
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 2: for the American people. And you're listening to this broadcast

195
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 2: on Salem radio stations and the Salem News Channel coast

196
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 2: to coast and worldwide. It is a breaking news edition

197
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 2: of the Scott Jennings Show. We have our eyes on

198
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 2: Washington today. We've had two world leaders in the Oval

199
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 2: Office with President Trump this morning, Zelenski and Nittan Yahoo.

200
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 3: We have a number of world.

201
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 2: Leaders and of course most of our political leadership paying

202
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 2: its respects to Senator Lindsey Graham today. There was a

203
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 2: service in the Capitol rotun this morning, and at two

204
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 2: o'clock Eastern they will have his funeral at the National Cathedral.

205
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 3: Will be paying attention to all of this for you.

206
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,079
Speaker 2: There are other things going on in Washington. You may

207
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:15,319
Speaker 2: have heard well. If you have social media, or if

208
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 2: you watch independent or conservative news sources, you may have

209
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,439
Speaker 2: heard about it. If you simply watch the mainstream news,

210
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 2: you may not know about it. Have you heard about

211
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 2: the Fauci Diaries?

212
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 3: The Fauci Diaries?

213
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 2: These are the notes that Anthony Fauci was keeping during

214
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 2: the COVID era so many years ago.

215
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 3: These are out because of Senator.

216
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 2: Rand Paul continuing to investigate and look into Fauci's decision

217
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,079
Speaker 2: making and public statements from during that time. There is

218
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 2: going to be a hearing with Fauci on Capitol Hill

219
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 2: later this week, and I look forward to hearing what

220
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,839
Speaker 2: Fauci has to say. But if you read these diaries,

221
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 2: somehow Anthony Fauci looks even worse in his own words

222
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 2: than he did in hours at the time. Now you

223
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 2: have to remember, let's think back together, what were we

224
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 2: told during COVID trust the experts, follow the science. Don't

225
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 2: ask any questions. God forbid you have a question about

226
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 2: any of this if you question the lockdowns, the mandates,

227
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 2: the school closures, or the origin of the virus. It

228
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 2: wasn't enough for the Fauci army to say that you

229
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 2: were merely wrong. You were called dangerous, You were called

230
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 2: a conspiracy theorist. You were called a racist, you were

231
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 2: called an enemy of science itself. No one embodied that

232
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 2: sanctimony more than Anthony Fauci. Now we have the benefit

233
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 2: of knowing what he was writing to himself privately, and

234
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 2: we can compare that to what he was saying publicly.

235
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:06,199
Speaker 2: In January of twenty twenty, Fauci was told by leading

236
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 2: scientists that the virus contained unusual features and that raised

237
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 2: serious questions about whether it had developed naturally. According to

238
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 2: his diary, roughly half the scientists on an early call

239
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 2: thought the virus appeared constructed. Now, that did not prove

240
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 2: that it was a laboratory leak, but it proved the

241
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 2: possibility was credible and that it deserved investigation. But what

242
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 2: did Anthony Fauci tell the American people? He repeatedly dismissed

243
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 2: the lab leak theory as an implausible conspiracy, while presenting

244
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 2: the natural origin theory as though the science were settled.

245
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 2: That's a scandal, not that Anthony Fauci failed to know

246
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 2: everything about a brand new virus. Nobody knew everything. The

247
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 2: scandal is that privately he he knew there were doubts

248
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 2: from real bona fide qualified scientists, while publicly he denied

249
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 2: the rest of us permission to even ask questions about this.

250
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 2: While Americans were losing loved ones, losing jobs and businesses,

251
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 2: watching their children languish and fall behind. Fauci's diary reveals

252
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 2: a man increasingly fascinated by something else. He was fascinated

253
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 2: by Anthony Fauci. His TV appearances, his press coverage, his

254
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 2: encounters with celebrities, the praise, the parties, the awards, the

255
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 2: extraordinary thrill of becoming the most famous doctor.

256
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 3: In the world.

257
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 2: Do you remember the ridiculous magazine cover where he was

258
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 2: sitting by the pool. This is a man who famously

259
00:15:55,520 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 2: declared attacks on me, quite frankly, are attacks on science.

260
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 3: Think of the arrogance of that statement. Science is a method.

261
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 2: It requires skepticism, testing, transparency, and the willingness to admit error.

262
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 2: But Anthony Fauci turned it into a title, and he

263
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 2: awarded the title to himself. Questioned Fauci, and you were

264
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 2: doing nothing less than questioning science itself. Disagree with Fauci,

265
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 2: and you were spreading misinformation. But if you look through

266
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 2: these diaries, you see that Fauci himself had private concerns,

267
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 2: private conversations, and private doubts that he refused to acknowledge

268
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 2: honestly in the public and the damage this did to

269
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 2: the public health regime in America will take decades, decades

270
00:16:56,280 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 2: to undo. Thank goodness for Rand Paul for tracking this down.

271
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 2: We'll be following this story for the rest of the

272
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 2: week more after this. Scott Jennings is here on Salem.

273
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 2: It's a breaking news day on the Scott Jennings Show.

274
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 6: You've heard the narratives, now get the truth. It's the

275
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 6: Scott Jennings Show.

276
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 2: It is Tuesday, July the twenty eighth. It's a breaking

277
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 2: news edition of common sense for the American people. Scott

278
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:35,880
Speaker 2: Jennings broadcasting live from Reno, Nevada.

279
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 3: We're going to get to that music.

280
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 2: In just a moment, it will become important, I promise you,

281
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 2: in just a moment. A quick note of breaking news.

282
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 2: President Trump has announced that he is bringing the sixteen

283
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 2: year old lifeguard to the White House. Have you seen

284
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 2: this video the sixteen year old kid who went out

285
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 2: and saved that person from the rough surf It was

286
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 2: a ten year old boy who had fallen off his

287
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:05,640
Speaker 2: surfboard at Cypress Beach in California, and this lifeguard went

288
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 2: out and heroically saved him. The President has just posted

289
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 2: I'm going to bring the heroic young man in his

290
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:15,919
Speaker 2: family into the White House with perhaps the boy he saved,

291
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 2: to give him a high civilian honor.

292
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 3: Very brave. He deserves it, President Donald J. Trump. So

293
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 3: good news for that lifeguard.

294
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 2: He'll get his props from the President of the United States.

295
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 3: Let's talk a little politics, shall we.

296
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 2: We are in Nevada and the third Congressional District is

297
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 2: a premier battleground seat this cycle, defined by its razor

298
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 2: thin margins, its large block of nonpartisan or independent voters,

299
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 2: and a split political identity where presidential and congressional outcomes

300
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 2: are sometimes divergent. This district in Nevada covers the southern

301
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 2: portion of Clark County, including Henderson, parts of Vegas, and

302
00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:00,400
Speaker 2: outlying suburban areas. The electric features a very narrow voter

303
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 2: registration advantage for Democrats, but it does have a massive

304
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 2: pool of independent and nonpartisan voters who decide elections. It

305
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 2: is viewed as one of the most competitive swing districts

306
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,360
Speaker 2: in the country. The in company is Democrat Susie Lee.

307
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 2: She won reelection by less than three points in twenty

308
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 2: twenty four, while Donald Trump narrowly carod carry the district

309
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 2: that same year. Our next guest is the Republican candidate.

310
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 2: Let's listen to this and cut twenty two.

311
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:30,679
Speaker 6: Marty o'donald.

312
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:35,160
Speaker 7: He's earned the endorsement of Governor Lombardo and President Donald Trump.

313
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 7: Marty's an outsider with real world experience to help clean

314
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,360
Speaker 7: up Washington and deliver results for Nevada.

315
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 6: Marty o'donald Republican for Congress.

316
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 2: And joining us now to discuss the campaign is Marty O'Donnell. Marty,

317
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 2: Welcome into the Scott Jennings Show.

318
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 8: Scott, thanks so much for having me on. This is

319
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 8: a pleasure.

320
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 3: Well, I'm glad to have you on today.

321
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 2: This is a vital district if Republicans intend to buck

322
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 2: the t tide of history and hold the Congressional majority

323
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 2: this November. Now you may have heard we played something

324
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 2: that you are responsible for on the way into this segment.

325
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 2: You have a thirty year career as a composer for

326
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 2: TV commercials and video games, including I suppose the most

327
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 2: famous work is the theme song to the game Halo.

328
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 2: Talk to us about your career in the music industry

329
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 2: and how you came to be part of that.

330
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:30,439
Speaker 8: I was a music major.

331
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 9: I was a piano player my whole life, and then

332
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 9: I switched to composition once I went to the Conservatory

333
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 9: and got my bachelor degree in music composition. Then I

334
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 9: went to USC got a master's degree. Then I went

335
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:48,399
Speaker 9: back to Chicago and did what I said I would

336
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 9: never do, which I prostituted my art and I made

337
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 9: TV commercials and jingles for like twenty years.

338
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 8: So I did things like we are Flintston's Kids ten million.

339
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 2: Strong and grow Wait came up with the Flintstones Kids vitamins.

340
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:04,399
Speaker 8: I did commercials.

341
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,439
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, gracious, well, let me just tell you,

342
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 2: I ate so many of those.

343
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 3: I ate so many of those as a child.

344
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 2: I believe that I am immune presently from most diseases

345
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,479
Speaker 2: because of the volume of Flintstones vitamins I ate, and

346
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,919
Speaker 2: frankly it was just because of the jingle, So I

347
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 2: of course I will credit you with my good.

348
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 3: Health, Marty.

349
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 2: That's that's terrific. Okay, keep going, fascinating.

350
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:31,640
Speaker 9: Well, I also did mister Clean, Mister Clean, a bunch

351
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 9: of mister Street Clean all through your childhood probably also,

352
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 9: so wow.

353
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, you were sort of the soundtrack of the eighties

354
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 2: and nineties kids.

355
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 3: This is amazing.

356
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 2: I mean you sort of wrote the background noise for

357
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 2: all of us eighties and nineties kids.

358
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 3: Amazing. All right, keep going, sir, Well.

359
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 9: I was always a video game player and decided to

360
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 9: get actually into video games once I saw that they

361
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 9: were sort of high res and they did some really

362
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 9: interesting things from a production standpoint. So I worked on

363
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 9: the sequel to Mist, which was called Riven, and then

364
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,920
Speaker 9: I worked on games for a little company in Chicago

365
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,159
Speaker 9: called Bungeee, and nineteen ninety nine we came up with

366
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 9: the idea for doing Halo, and Bungee was bought by

367
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:18,719
Speaker 9: Microsoft and moved out to Seattle, and the rest is history.

368
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 9: We did Halo in two thousand and one, and then

369
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 9: Halo two and three and odst in Reach. Then we

370
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 9: broke off and made destiny. So yeah, I was involved

371
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,880
Speaker 9: with the game industry for a good quarter century.

372
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 2: Okay, what you're describing to me is a dream career.

373
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,160
Speaker 2: You're a musician, You've made some of the most memorable

374
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,159
Speaker 2: jingles in American advertising history, You've made some of the

375
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:48,920
Speaker 2: most memorable video game music in the gaming industry's history,

376
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,919
Speaker 2: and now you've traded all that in for politics. And

377
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 2: I think the average person listening across the country today says,

378
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 2: why in the world would you give up such an

379
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 2: amazing life in the private sector to go into politics.

380
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 2: So here's the question for every candidate, why are you

381
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:07,679
Speaker 2: running for this congressional office.

382
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 9: I'm running because I live in a district where I

383
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 9: have my two daughters and my three grandsons all within

384
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 9: five minutes of my house, and they come over every

385
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 9: weekend and we are a really strong, happy family, and

386
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 9: I just am determined not to have my grandsons grow

387
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 9: up in a district under a nonsense rule. Susie Lee

388
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 9: is a rubber stamp Democrat, and we have a shot

389
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 9: at actually flipping this seat, and I wanted to do

390
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 9: everything possible to do that because I'm a lifelong conservative

391
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 9: and I believe in our constitution and our Republic, and

392
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 9: she doesn't. I cannot believe that, you know, the kinds

393
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 9: of conditions that she's willing to live with, the corruption

394
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 9: that she has. She's made her money trading stocks while

395
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 9: she's in Congress, and I'm determined to see that stop.

396
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,919
Speaker 9: And when I offered to help, they actually asked me, well,

397
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 9: why don't you run for Congress? And I guess I

398
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 9: couldn't say no.

399
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 2: So Marty O'Donnell is our guest. He is running for

400
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 2: Congress in Nevada's third congressional district. It's your first time

401
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 2: running for office, is that right, Marty?

402
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 8: Well, yeah, I mean I ran in the last cycle.

403
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 9: I got in very very late into the primary and

404
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,159
Speaker 9: there were four of us and we basically kind of

405
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 9: split the Republican primaries.

406
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:34,360
Speaker 8: And I thought that was it.

407
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 9: I thought maybe that would be my one shot at

408
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 9: trying something.

409
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,640
Speaker 8: But when I went to Sam Brown, who ran for Senate.

410
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 9: Here you probably remember, Sam oh Yes asked me to

411
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 9: He said come to the inauguration, and I was like,

412
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:48,919
Speaker 9: that sounds great.

413
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 8: So I went to the inauguration.

414
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,879
Speaker 9: I was so happy that President Trump became president again

415
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:59,199
Speaker 9: and watching him. You know, you kind of stole this

416
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,399
Speaker 9: from me because I remember how important it was to

417
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 9: hear him say that he was a revolution of common sense.

418
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 9: When he said that line, I was just like, that's

419
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 9: what it is. The Democrats represent nonsense and Donald Trump

420
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 9: and his administration and the Republicans are just going back

421
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 9: to common sense. And it inspired me to say, Okay,

422
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 9: maybe I'll try this again.

423
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 8: If I can get the line, I will do it.

424
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 2: That line spoke to so many people, because there's a

425
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:29,959
Speaker 2: lot of people out there, and you have a lot

426
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 2: of them in your district. They're not partisans, they don't

427
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 2: identify with either party. They maybe call themselves independents, maybe

428
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 2: they don't call themselves anything, but they just want common sense.

429
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:44,880
Speaker 2: And you represent Nevada's third district, which has some Vegas

430
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 2: and the Vegas suburbs. And of course, last summer, the

431
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 2: President and his party pushed and passed the big beautiful bill,

432
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:56,199
Speaker 2: the Working Families Tax cut, in that no tax on tips.

433
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,919
Speaker 2: I can't really think of a congressional district in America

434
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 2: where that would have more support or feel more common

435
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:06,360
Speaker 2: sense than anything near or around Las Vegas. And yet

436
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 2: your opponent Susie Lee voted against that. Are you hearing

437
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,640
Speaker 2: about that issue from your potential constituents?

438
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 3: I assume it. It must come up all the time.

439
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 8: It does.

440
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 9: It is a slogan or a not a slogan.

441
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 8: It's a reality that when I go and talk to.

442
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 9: People and I sometimes when I leave a tip and

443
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 9: I go, well, you know, no tax on tips, and

444
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 9: they're like, that's right. Plus, you know our demographics here,

445
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 9: we have a lot of people who have moved to

446
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 9: Las Vegas to retire.

447
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:40,159
Speaker 8: So no tax on.

448
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:47,679
Speaker 9: Security, no tax over time for working people, which is

449
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 9: the majority of people, right, you know, we all know

450
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,959
Speaker 9: what it is to work, and then no tax on tips.

451
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,199
Speaker 9: It's like, we have so many people who work in

452
00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 9: hospitality here. It's a huge thing, which is why President Trump,

453
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 9: you know, unveiled it when he was in Las Vegas.

454
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 8: It was a very very politically smart thing to do.

455
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 9: But it's also you hear people all the time talking

456
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 9: about how what a relief it is to have that happening.

457
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 2: Marty O'Donnell's a Republican candidate in Nevada's third congressional district,

458
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:19,879
Speaker 2: one of the most targeted districts in America.

459
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 3: And Marty, I was told to ask you.

460
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:25,439
Speaker 2: You've got a theory and analogy about your philosophy of

461
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 2: government serving the people.

462
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:28,639
Speaker 3: It's called being nice to the goose. Talk to us

463
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 3: about that.

464
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 9: Yeah, Well, the goose that lays the golden egg is

465
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 9: the most important thing. And if you think about that tale,

466
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,160
Speaker 9: a lot of people think that the most important thing

467
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,959
Speaker 9: is not to kill the goose. And I look at

468
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 9: it another way, which is, if you want more golden eggs,

469
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:47,879
Speaker 9: be nice to the goose.

470
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 8: And the goose in our.

471
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:53,439
Speaker 9: Country is the working class, the middle class, the small

472
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 9: business owners, families, people who have been laying the golden

473
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:01,879
Speaker 9: egg for our country for the entire duration of our existence.

474
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 9: And the government just cannot be nice to the goose.

475
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,159
Speaker 9: And so if we could be nice to the goose,

476
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 9: we're gonna get more golden eggs.

477
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 2: Again, Marty O'Donnell, you're running for Congress, and this is

478
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 2: a national program, and a lot of our listeners are

479
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 2: interested in what's going to happen in November.

480
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 3: Can the Republicans hold on.

481
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:22,880
Speaker 2: If they are to hold on, it's going to be

482
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 2: because someone like you was able to unseat a Democratic

483
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 2: incumbent in this highly targeted district. If folks want to

484
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 2: find you out there, Marty and engage in your campaign,

485
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 2: what's the best way to do Then.

486
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 9: Best way is to go to martyfocongress dot com. Fo

487
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 9: r Marty four for Congress, martyfocongress dot com sign up. Obviously,

488
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 9: every little bit helps. Seven dollars is a good starting point.

489
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 9: And for those of you who are Halo fans and

490
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 9: Bungie fans, you'll understand the significance of the number seven.

491
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 9: It's a magic number. Three hundred and forty three works.

492
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 9: Also it's seven cube, so that would work. But yes,

493
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 9: that's where you go. That's where you can sign up,

494
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 9: and it's a fun website. And I also have a

495
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 9: YouTube channel where I do a podcast.

496
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 8: One of these days, Scott, you should be on. It'd

497
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 8: be great, we'd be honored.

498
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 9: But yes, that's where you can find me, and that's

499
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 9: where you can find out what my platform is and

500
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 9: what I plan on doing.

501
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 2: All right, Marty O'Donnell, that's the voice you're hearing, Republican

502
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 2: candidate for Congress and Nevada's third congressional district. It's outside

503
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 2: of Las Vegas, and this is one of the closest

504
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 2: races in America. There's a Democratic incumbent there who's been

505
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 2: voting against the interests of her people. But Marty O'Donnell

506
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 2: is part of the revolution of common sense. Marty, thanks

507
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 2: for calling in today. We'll keep up with your race

508
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 2: as the November election draws closer. I want to talk

509
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 2: to you all for a moment about Medicare. If you

510
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 2: are sixty four or older, you got to be careful

511
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 2: who you trust for advice, and I'll have to be

512
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 2: honest with you and you mail are know this. The

513
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 2: system is a mess. My own parents have seen how

514
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 2: easy it is to get steered into a plan that

515
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 2: isn't quite right.

516
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 3: That's why I like the advisors at Chapter.

517
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 2: My mom just did a review of her Medicare situation

518
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 2: with Chapter. She thought she was in a solid plan,

519
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 2: nothing was obviously wrong, But in under twenty minutes this

520
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 2: happened to my own mother. Chapter took a look at

521
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 2: her situation and they found her the same plan, but

522
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 2: for six hundred dollars less per year, same coverage, same protection,

523
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 2: but money back in her pocket. What makes them different

524
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 2: at Chapter is they work for you, not the insurance companies,

525
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 2: and that is a critical thing. No pressure, no gimmicks,

526
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 2: just honest guidance from people who know how the system works.

527
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 2: Give them a call at Chapter dial pound two point

528
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 2: fifty say Medicare plan or go to ask Chapter dot org.

529

552
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 2: now seeing inside the cathedral, A number of people are

553
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:24,520

00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 10: We're going to hear today from Sean Hannity. We're also

557
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 10: going to hear from Salem's own Reverend Tony Perkins, as

558
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 10: well as some people in attendance will be the Prime

559
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 10: Minister of Israel Benjamin and Yahu, as well as the

560
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 10: President of Ukraine Zelenski. I was just at the White

561
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 10: House about thirty minutes before this, where the Prime Minister

562
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 10: of Israel and the President met in the Oval Office.

563
00:32:56,360 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 10: And there's a lot of big people here because the

564
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 10: late senator was really really respected around the world and

565
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 10: had relationships with many different leaders.

566
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, he certainly was respected around the world, and there's

567
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 2: a number of international figures who are gathering in Washington today. Now, Willy,

568
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 2: I'm not sure what you can see over your shoulder.

569
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 2: What I'm looking at here on my screen is a

570
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 2: live picture. We have the hearse and it looks like

571
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 2: Senator Graham's casket is being pulled slightly out of the

572
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 2: back of the hearse. This is right in front of

573
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 2: the National Cathedral, and on the stairs of the National

574
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 2: Cathedral we see members of the military standing at attention.

575
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 2: We see and now Willie, actually we're seeing the military

576
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 2: march over towards the casket of Senator Graham.

577
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 3: Talk to us about that.

578
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 10: Yeah, so this is something that they do for people

579
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 10: who were in the military, like the Lindsey Senator Lindsay

580
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 10: Graham was. I saw them do this earlier today as well,

581
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 10: in front of the Capital where they brought him up

582
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 10: the steps for a private session for a private memorial

583
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 10: in the rotunda, and the vibe was very, very somber,

584
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:18,359
Speaker 10: and you know, there was people who even showed up

585
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 10: in front to speak about or to show respect and

586
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 10: pay their respect for the late Senator. So, Sally, we

587
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 10: are pushed off right now.

588
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,799
Speaker 2: Absolutely, Yeah, We've got Willie Nelson. He's moving away from

589
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,320
Speaker 2: the front of the cathedral. I assume that means President

590
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:39,360
Speaker 2: of the United States is getting near. And we're also

591
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:42,799
Speaker 2: witnessing here and I'm talking it through you here live

592
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 2: on the radio. The casket transfer. So the casket right

593
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:50,800
Speaker 2: now is being withdrawn from the back of the hers.

594
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 2: It was just up at the United States Capitol this morning.

595
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 2: Senator Graham's casket was in the Capitol rotunda. Vice President Vance,

596
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 2: in his capacity as President the Senate, along with many

597
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:06,279
Speaker 2: many senators and congressmen, paid their respects. We heard Vice

598
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:09,399
Speaker 2: President Vance speak this morning. We heard Senate Majority Leader

599
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 2: John Thune speak. That casket then left the Capitol and

600
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 2: came all the way out to northwest Washington. And what

601
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 2: you're seeing here, if you're following along on the stream,

602
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:21,840
Speaker 2: the various members of the military have hold of the casket.

603
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 2: They've withdrawn it from the back of the hearse and

604
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:27,720
Speaker 2: they are now about to bring that up the short

605
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:29,840
Speaker 2: staircase in front of the National Cathedral.

606
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 3: Willy, what can you see from your vantage? Now?

607
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:34,439
Speaker 6: I can see.

608
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 10: A big I see beautiful, a big, beautiful cathedral. To

609
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 10: be honest, this is my first time here, and this

610
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 10: thing looks incredible.

611
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:44,280
Speaker 8: It's massive.

612
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 10: I don't know how much the camera can pick up

613
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 10: of it, but this is a really, really nice site

614
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:50,840
Speaker 10: to see.

615
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 3: Well.

616
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:55,840
Speaker 2: It's one of the most iconic cathedrals and iconic churches

617
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 2: in the world, certainly in the United States of America. Willie,

618
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 2: while you are there, and we're going to round out

619
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:04,840
Speaker 2: our coverage here this hour, we are seeing the United

620
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:09,840
Speaker 2: States military carry the casket of the late Senator Lindsey Graham.

621
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 2: The flag draped casket is being carried step by step,

622
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:18,360
Speaker 2: one step at a time, up the staircase of the

623
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 2: National Cathedral, not a long staircase, but they'll go in

624
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 2: the front hall and at two o'clock this funeral will commence.

625
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 2: We are going to take a break. When we come back,

Speaker 2: Senator Graham was beloved in a lot of world capitals.

655
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:11,040
Speaker 2: I've got a couple of experts joining me here as

656
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:12,840
Speaker 2: we talk through this funeral service.

657
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:14,840
Speaker 3: One of them is Rebecca Heinrich.

658
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 2: She's a fellow at the Hudson Institute. She's the official

659
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:21,799
Speaker 2: national security correspondent of the Scott Jetting Show. The other

660
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:25,360
Speaker 2: is Brad Todd, one of the most experienced Republican operatives

661
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:29,320
Speaker 2: in the country, has done many Senate races and South

662
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 2: Carolina races in his career.

663
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 3: Rebecca, I want to start with you because of.

664
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 2: The national security implications of the passing of Lindsay Graham.

665
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:41,320
Speaker 3: How are you feeling about this funeral today?

666
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 2: You've got world leaders, You've got the President, you saw

667
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:45,960
Speaker 2: a meet with Zelensky and Netan Yahoo. What kind of

668
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 2: hole does this leave in our foreign policy establishment in Washington,

669
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:50,440
Speaker 2: d C.

670
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:54,720
Speaker 11: Well, it's a huge hole. I Mean, what Senator Graham

671
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 11: was really notorious for was being able to bridge this

672
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 11: gap between the Senate and the White House, between American

673
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:08,359
Speaker 11: allies and the White House. He was a guy who

674
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:13,880
Speaker 11: believed in the moral dimension of American defense and foreign policy.

675
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 11: He understood that Hutin's Russia was evil, was wrong, that

676
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:24,359
Speaker 11: Ukraine was in the right, that the United States not

677
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 11: only had interests in ensuring that Ukraine could prevail and

678
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:30,959
Speaker 11: push back the Russians and end this war on terms

679
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 11: that were good for Ukraine and US, but he understood

680
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 11: it was right, it was right for the United States

681
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 11: back Ukraine. And so I mean you can just see

682
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 11: by the people who are here at his funeral, I mean,

683
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:46,919
Speaker 11: two nations at war and their leaders really understood that

684
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 11: Senator Graham was an important senator, but he was their friend,

685
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 11: and so he leaves a huge hole I think at

686
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 11: a critical time. And yet I'll end on an optimistic

687
00:39:56,000 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 11: note because of the work that Senatograhm did, he might

688
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 11: actually get a huge foreign policy win, I would say,

689
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:08,439
Speaker 11: in his honor, and that is if the Congress does

690
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:11,839
Speaker 11: pass the secondary sanctions against the Russians, which of course

691
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 11: is exactly what Senator Graham wanted.

692
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:20,280
Speaker 2: Brad Todd, senior Republican strategist and fellow colleague over at CNN. Brad,

693
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 2: you've been around Republican politics now for three decades.

694
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 3: Talk to us about the political.

695
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 2: Role that Lindsey Graham played in Washington and talk to

696
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 2: us a little bit about the politics in South Carolina

697
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:34,400
Speaker 2: that will unfold in the weeks ahead.

698
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:37,719
Speaker 3: Well, first off, Lindsey Graham is one of one.

699
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 12: You know, he was a unique character in that he

700
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 12: had his feet in several camps, which is a true

701
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:47,240
Speaker 12: compliment to somewhat in the United States Senate.

702
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:49,880
Speaker 3: You know, on the one hand, he worked with Democrats

703
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 3: on a.

704
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 12: Lot of issues, like he was a big advocate for

705
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 12: the trial bar and for people's ability to file civil litigation.

706
00:40:57,400 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 12: On the other hand, he was a hawk who Democrats

707
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:01,360
Speaker 12: sort of not get along with on a lot of

708
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:05,759
Speaker 12: foreign policy matters. He was a social conservative, a very

709
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:08,800
Speaker 12: strong pro lifer, and yet on the same time, he

710
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:11,800
Speaker 12: believed presidents had a right to pick their own traditional

711
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:14,400
Speaker 12: nominees if they were qualified. So he voted for Sonya

712
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 12: Soda mayor, he voted for Atlanta Kaigan. He really was

713
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 12: a unique throwback individual. But he's also someone who adapted

714
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 12: to the Trump era.

715
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 3: In Washington.

716
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 12: He'd been a strong critic of Donald Trump in twenty sixteen,

717
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 12: ran against him, but he quickly realized that they had

718
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 12: some common goals, and on those common goals, he'd try

719
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 12: to work with him, and all places where they disagree,

720
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 12: he'd try to bring him along, which he certainly did on.

721
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:39,240
Speaker 3: Ukraine for example.

722
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:44,800
Speaker 2: Sprad Todd, a senior Republican strategist, also joined by Rebecca Heinrix.

723
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:47,719
Speaker 2: All three of us were watching the opening minutes of

724
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 2: the funeral of Senator Graham at the National Cathedral. We

725
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:53,440
Speaker 2: see the pastors now praying over the casket. Just a

726
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:58,120
Speaker 2: few minutes ago we saw the flag draped casket of

727
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:02,400
Speaker 2: a veteran, of a patriot, Senator Graham brought into the church.

728
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:06,360
Speaker 2: That's now been replaced by a drape that has the

729
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:10,640
Speaker 2: Cross of Christ on it. Rebecca, when you think about

730
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 2: what President Trump is navigating now with Ukraine, with Iran,

731
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:20,840
Speaker 2: and the overall foreign policy legacy of his two terms,

732
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 2: so much of this was wrapped up in his consultations

733
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:27,319
Speaker 2: with Lindsay Graham. To whom will he turn now? You

734
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 2: think in the absence of Senator Graham, and not only

735
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:31,920
Speaker 2: was he a counselor to the president, but he was

736
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 2: a close friend and a trusted ally, where does the

737
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 2: president look for that advice now?

738
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 11: So I do think that there are other Republican senators

739
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:45,720
Speaker 11: that want what Lindsay Graham wanted, which is a strong

740
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:52,240
Speaker 11: US leadership role in the world, strong American allies, robust

741
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 11: defense budget. And I can just think of some senators

742
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:58,400
Speaker 11: right now, Senator Tom Cotton and who was close to

743
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:03,719
Speaker 11: Lindsay Graham, Ted Crue, Rick Scott, Roger Wicker. I can

744
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:08,000
Speaker 11: list some of these individuals who agreed with Senator Graham

745
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 11: on these things. But the thing that Lindsay Graham really

746
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:13,400
Speaker 11: brought though that was very different was his personality and

747
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:15,480
Speaker 11: the chemistry that he had, I think is how President

748
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:17,720
Speaker 11: Trump would describe it that he had with President Trump.

749
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:20,239
Speaker 11: And he had this charming way about him where he

750
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 11: could very much disagree with a policy that President Trump

751
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:26,920
Speaker 11: was picking up, or a strategy or an approach to

752
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:31,400
Speaker 11: a problem. But Lindsey Graham would not attack the President personally,

753
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 11: of course, and didn't think that that needed to be done.

754
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:37,279
Speaker 11: He didn't think it was helpful, and so he kept

755
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:41,320
Speaker 11: really great personal rapport with him. And that's the question

756
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 11: is who can do that. Now, Who's going to step

757
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:47,120
Speaker 11: in there and try to be this You're not going

758
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 11: to replace Lindsay Graham, but who can help be at

759
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:52,759
Speaker 11: least as sounding board to President Trump, and I appreciate it.

760
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:56,040
Speaker 11: When President Trump has been reflecting on his relationship with

761
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:59,359
Speaker 11: Lindsay Graham, he would say, you know, sometimes Lindsay would

762
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:03,000
Speaker 11: disagree with with me, but he valued hearing his views

763
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:06,400
Speaker 11: because President Trump is not ideological, as you know, Scott.

764
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:10,239
Speaker 11: I mean, he's looking for pragmatic solutions to these complex problems,

765
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 11: and he likes to hear people out. He's got a

766
00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 11: very non traditional administration the second term. He doesn't really

767
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:19,440
Speaker 11: have a robust interagency process. He's got a few trusted

768
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:22,360
Speaker 11: individuals who he likes to hear out, and so I

769
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:25,560
Speaker 11: suspect he's going to be looking for maybe another voice here,

770
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:28,080
Speaker 11: and I hope that some of these other senators can

771
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:30,560
Speaker 11: step up and cultivate a good friendship with the president.

772
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:34,600
Speaker 2: We're seeing live pictures if you're watching on the Salem

773
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 2: News Channel, fee of the inside of the National Cathedral

774
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 2: absolutely packed with Washington's dignitaries, also international dignitaries.

775
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:44,560
Speaker 3: President is in the room, the Vice President.

776
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:48,200
Speaker 2: I believe I just saw Brett Kavanaugh, Justice Kavanaugh in there.

777
00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:51,760
Speaker 2: Of course, one of Lindsay Graham's most memorable moments came

778
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:55,000
Speaker 2: in the defense of Brett Kavanaugh as the Democrats we're

779
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 2: savaging him in his confirmation process. We're now seeing the

780
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:02,680

Speaker 11: people might not be totally familiar with is you really

840
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:01,560
Speaker 11: cared a lot about bringing up the next generation of

841
00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:06,080
Speaker 11: national security professionals, especially those of us who are conservative

842
00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:10,440
Speaker 11: in our approach, and especially women. And he put a

843
00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:13,480
Speaker 11: great care and concern for making sure that we were

844
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:17,719
Speaker 11: encouraged and thought that others were listening to us. And

845
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:21,359
Speaker 11: there was one time when I was at a Republican

846
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:25,680

847
00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:29,120
Speaker 11: I had brought my daughter with me, and the Senator

848
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:31,080
Speaker 11: kind of pulled me aside and said, listen, I don't

849
00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:34,399
Speaker 11: want to hear the next two sessions. If you leave

850
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:36,440
Speaker 11: and go do something fun with your daughter, can I

851
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:39,839
Speaker 11: go too? And I said, absolutely, Senator, And so I've

852
00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:42,880
Speaker 11: got these great memories where he was encouraging my daughter

853
00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:46,240
Speaker 11: to keep with her studies and keep doing what she's doing,

854
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:49,400
Speaker 11: and the two of us went off and got to

855
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:51,880
Speaker 11: ride a horse. We were riding horses out in Wyoming,

856
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:55,600
Speaker 11: and it just struck me as just so kind of

857
00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:58,880
Speaker 11: him to pay this particular attention to me and to

858
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:02,480
Speaker 11: my daughter and to let us know that this country

859
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:05,600
Speaker 11: is good, it's worth defending, and you got to have

860
00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:08,880
Speaker 11: tough in sometimes, but to keep a good attitude. And

861
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:11,879
Speaker 11: he really was, I think, a happy warrior and gave

862
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:14,200
Speaker 11: so many of us so much encouragement inspiration.

863
00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:18,560
Speaker 2: Rebecca, thank you for that remembrance. Brad Todd is a

864
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:22,920

00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:26,000
Speaker 2: what are your thoughts as you watch this funeral today.

866
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:28,680

867
00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:31,480
Speaker 2: a long time, and you know Senator Graham, whether it

868
00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:34,240
Speaker 2: was in his own races or campaigning for other people

869
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:37,880
Speaker 2: or hanging out with President Trump. Lindsey Graham was involved

870
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:41,000
Speaker 2: in a great many operations for the Republican Party for

871
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:41,479
Speaker 2: so long.

872
00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:46,480
Speaker 12: Well he was, and Rebecca's story reminds me. You know,

873
00:49:46,520 --> 00:49:48,719
Speaker 12: I met Lindsay Graham in nineteen ninety five when he

874
00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:50,560
Speaker 12: was a freshman in the US House.

875
00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:52,720
Speaker 3: And Brad can I act he was at Jose Paulis

876
00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:53,640
Speaker 3: for just one moment.

877
00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:56,880
Speaker 2: I don't mean to interrupt you, but I think we

878
00:49:56,960 --> 00:50:01,439
Speaker 2: may be seeing President Trump. Yes, here's President DONR. Trump

886
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:37,600
Speaker 13: a giant of the United States Senate and a true

887
00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:44,880
Speaker 13: American original who left us much too soon, And that

888
00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:49,960
Speaker 13: can only be the one and only Lindsey Graham, by

889
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:53,440
Speaker 13: the strength of his steadfast convictions, the force of his

890
00:50:54,200 --> 00:50:59,160
Speaker 13: magnetic personality, and the goodness of his noble soul, Lindsay

891
00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:04,280
Speaker 13: Rhodes from a small town in rural South Carolina, place

892
00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:08,239
Speaker 13: he loved so much to become a constant fixture of

893
00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:11,960

Speaker 13: Nothing of consequence happened in this capital without Lindsay Graham

897
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:26,279
Speaker 13: knowing about it. Nothing of significance happened anywhere in the

898
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:31,040
Speaker 13: world without Lindsey Graham having a view on it, And

899
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:34,480
Speaker 13: no bill became law in the most exceptional republican human

900
00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:40,920
Speaker 13: history without Lindsey Graham having essay in it. He was

901
00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:43,759
Speaker 13: a man who gave America the full measure of his

902
00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:50,120
Speaker 13: good and mighty heart until that heart itself just gave out.

903
00:51:51,239 --> 00:51:54,360
Speaker 14: But even though Lindsay's life.

904
00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:57,040
Speaker 13: Was cut short, well, he was still so full of

905
00:51:57,160 --> 00:52:00,600
Speaker 13: vim and vigor. There can be no doubt that he

906
00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:05,799
Speaker 13: lived absolutely to the fullest. He died doing the work

907
00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:08,760
Speaker 13: he was born to do. He was truly a great

908
00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:14,920
Speaker 13: politician serving the country he loved to serve so deeply

909
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:18,959

00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:50,560
Speaker 13: Lindsay's proudest legacy now continues his legacy of service in

937
00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:54,960
Speaker 13: the US Senate place that he cherished, and I have

938
00:53:55,040 --> 00:53:56,440
Speaker 13: no doubt that he's.

939
00:53:56,239 --> 00:53:58,120
Speaker 14: Looking down today beaming with.

940
00:53:58,080 --> 00:54:03,760
Speaker 13: Pride at his sister, Senator Darlene Graham.

941
00:54:03,880 --> 00:54:04,239
Speaker 7: Thank you.

942
00:54:04,360 --> 00:54:10,520
Speaker 13: Senator Lindsay first stormed into Washington with the Republican Revolution

943
00:54:10,680 --> 00:54:13,960
Speaker 13: of nineteen ninety four, becoming the first Republican to win

944
00:54:14,040 --> 00:54:17,480
Speaker 13: his house district in one hundred and twenty years.

945
00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:18,320
Speaker 14: That was Lindsay.

946
00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:23,600
Speaker 13: In twenty oh two, he ran for the Senate in

947
00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:27,880
Speaker 13: what should have been a loss, and he swept to

948
00:54:27,960 --> 00:54:32,280
Speaker 13: an easy victory. Lindsay quickly became a master at maneuvering

949
00:54:32,320 --> 00:54:36,160
Speaker 13: in one of the world's great legislative bodies.

950
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:38,759
Speaker 14: He secured record funding for our military.

951
00:54:38,840 --> 00:54:43,280
Speaker 13: As a Budget Committee chairman, he delivered the largest investment

952
00:54:43,320 --> 00:54:46,880
Speaker 13: in border security in history. And last year he shepherded

953
00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:51,040
Speaker 13: the passage of the largest Hax cuts in American history.

954
00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:56,200
Speaker 13: The Great, Big, Beautiful Bill had a lot of Lindsey

955
00:54:56,239 --> 00:54:59,400
Speaker 13: goodies in there too, I can tell you. And of

956
00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:01,960
Speaker 13: course he was also a great champion of the United

957
00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:07,720
Speaker 13: States Supreme Court. His impassioned defense of a wonderful person,

958
00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:14,200
Speaker 13: a great gentleman, Justice Kavanaugh, ended a disgraceful attack on

959
00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:17,759
Speaker 13: this very good man and gave us one of the

960
00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:20,839
Speaker 13: greatest moments the Senate has ever seen. It was a

961
00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:27,160
Speaker 13: truly monumental moment in Senate history. I believe it was

962
00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:33,000
Speaker 13: Lindsay's perhaps finest hour. But no matter how heated things

963
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:39,240
Speaker 13: got in Washington, virtually everyone Republican or Democrat liked Lindsay.

964
00:55:39,280 --> 00:55:43,120
Speaker 14: Well, not everybody, but he sounds good. Not everybody.

965
00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:45,799
Speaker 13: He was a tough cookie, Okay, I have to be

966
00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:48,320
Speaker 13: I have to vere from this versa. He was a

967
00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:52,520
Speaker 13: tough cookie, darling, but he was beautiful. But he was

968
00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:56,200
Speaker 13: also ready with a joke and a gleam.

969
00:55:55,920 --> 00:55:56,439
Speaker 14: In his eye.

970
00:55:56,520 --> 00:56:00,640
Speaker 13: After being lectured on the excruciating details of in law

971
00:56:01,239 --> 00:56:06,520
Speaker 13: by a fellow senator during a flight, Lindsay declared that

972
00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:10,839
Speaker 13: he had discovered a new form of enhanced interrogation and

973
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:15,840
Speaker 13: torture for the Quantownamo Bay area.

974
00:56:16,040 --> 00:56:19,480
Speaker 14: He said, this is really bad stuff and boring.

975
00:56:20,680 --> 00:56:24,040
Speaker 13: And while he was an incredibly hard worker, he was

976
00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:26,280
Speaker 13: not exactly an early riser, as.

977
00:56:26,160 --> 00:56:26,719
Speaker 14: Many of you know.

978
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:32,520
Speaker 13: When Senator Tim Scott, a great gentleman in his own right,

979
00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:35,960
Speaker 13: I can tell you, invited him to prayer breakfast at

980
00:56:35,960 --> 00:56:40,239
Speaker 13: eight thirty am, Lindsay told him, Tim, if Jesus himself

981
00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:42,080
Speaker 13: comes back before.

982
00:56:41,840 --> 00:56:47,600
Speaker 14: Ten am, I ain't going yet. While he was always

983
00:56:47,719 --> 00:56:48,879
Speaker 14: quick to laugh and.

984
00:56:48,920 --> 00:56:51,800
Speaker 13: No one ever doubted the gravity of his mission, above all,

985
00:56:52,239 --> 00:56:58,239
Speaker 13: Lindsey Graham believed in a strong America, wanted a strong America.

986
00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:03,320
Speaker 13: He had unwavering faith in the righteousness of American power

987
00:57:03,520 --> 00:57:07,600
Speaker 13: and prayer. And he was extremely hawkish. I will tell

988
00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:09,640
Speaker 13: you he never saw a war that he didn't like.

989
00:57:10,640 --> 00:57:13,320
Speaker 13: Only his true friends would understand that. But he wanted

990
00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:15,840
Speaker 13: it for the good of our country. He felt in

991
00:57:15,960 --> 00:57:19,080
Speaker 13: his bones that our destiny is to win, and that

992
00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:21,600
Speaker 13: his job was to do everything he could.

993
00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:23,240
Speaker 14: To ensure our enemies would lose.

994
00:57:24,440 --> 00:57:28,560
Speaker 13: It was this conviction that led him to serve thirty

995
00:57:28,600 --> 00:57:32,680
Speaker 13: three years in uniform in the Air Force and Air

996
00:57:32,720 --> 00:57:36,720
Speaker 13: Force Reserves and Air National Guard even while he was

997
00:57:36,720 --> 00:57:39,880
Speaker 13: in office. And it was this conviction that took him

998
00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:43,160
Speaker 13: as a senator to almost every country on Earth, confronting

999
00:57:43,200 --> 00:57:47,960
Speaker 13: America's adversaries and standing up for America's friends. He had

1000
00:57:48,040 --> 00:57:52,160
Speaker 13: tremendous friendships all over the world. It's a testament to

1001
00:57:52,240 --> 00:57:55,760
Speaker 13: his towering impact that among those mourning him here today

1002
00:57:56,480 --> 00:58:00,920
Speaker 13: our leaders, presidents, prime ministers from all over the globe

1003
00:58:01,640 --> 00:58:06,240
Speaker 13: sitting right here before you. Lindsay met countless world leaders,

1004
00:58:06,400 --> 00:58:10,200
Speaker 13: yet wherever he went, he was always the same Lindsay Graham.

1005
00:58:10,840 --> 00:58:14,480
Speaker 14: When he met Libyan dictator.

1006
00:58:14,200 --> 00:58:17,560
Speaker 13: Momar Kadaffi in a tent in the desert, he told

1007
00:58:17,600 --> 00:58:20,880
Speaker 13: him I expected something out of the Arabian nights. This

1008
00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:24,160
Speaker 13: looks more like a Winnebago. That was not a good

1009
00:58:24,160 --> 00:58:27,360
Speaker 13: statement to make at the time. And when he met

1010
00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:31,240
Speaker 13: the Dali Lama, Lindsay looked him straight into the eyes

1011
00:58:31,280 --> 00:58:37,040
Speaker 13: and said, so, can you really levitate? And Dali Lama

1012
00:58:37,120 --> 00:58:40,680
Speaker 13: was not happy with that. But no matter how high

1013
00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:44,840
Speaker 13: he rose. He never forgot where he came from. There's

1014
00:58:44,960 --> 00:58:48,120
Speaker 13: probably not a single town in South Carolina where Lindsay

1015
00:58:48,160 --> 00:58:51,360
Speaker 13: did not help repair a bridge, expand to school, and

1016
00:58:51,440 --> 00:58:55,760
Speaker 13: prove a hospital, or recover from a disaster. He was

1017
00:58:55,800 --> 00:58:59,400
Speaker 13: a force of nature and I will miss him greatly.

1018
00:59:00,440 --> 00:59:04,040
Speaker 13: As you remember, Lindsay and I did not exactly get

1019
00:59:04,080 --> 00:59:07,640
Speaker 13: off to the best of starts running against each other.

1020
00:59:09,040 --> 00:59:13,640
Speaker 13: Back in twenty sixteen, Lindsay said something rather nasty on

1021
00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:17,880
Speaker 13: his flight to becoming the next president of the United States.

1022
00:59:19,040 --> 00:59:22,280
Speaker 13: So naturally I did something that I shouldn't have done.

1023
00:59:22,320 --> 00:59:26,400
Speaker 13: I shared his personal cell phone number with the millions

1024
00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:28,960
Speaker 13: of people that happened to be watching that particular day.

1025
00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:31,840
Speaker 13: As I made a speech, a very important speech, and

1026
00:59:31,880 --> 00:59:35,560
Speaker 13: I remember the number two two two two eight two

1027
00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:39,040
Speaker 13: nine two, if anybody wants to give it a shot,

1028
00:59:39,080 --> 00:59:42,400
Speaker 13: his phone exploded. He said, I had that number for

1029
00:59:42,480 --> 00:59:44,960
Speaker 13: twenty years, his phone totally. I don't know what he

1030
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:48,520
Speaker 13: did with it, but it exploded. That was the beginning

1031
00:59:48,600 --> 00:59:51,880
Speaker 13: of a friendship in a way, But it was Lindsay

1032
00:59:51,880 --> 00:59:54,360
Speaker 13: who had the last lap because while I blew up

1033
00:59:54,360 --> 00:59:59,400
Speaker 13: his phone. Oh, for one day, we became great friends

1034
00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:01,800
Speaker 13: and Lindsay, he did not stop calling me for the

1035
01:00:01,800 --> 01:00:02,720
Speaker 13: next ten years.

1036
01:00:02,760 --> 01:00:03,680
Speaker 14: It was not he's.

1037
01:00:05,720 --> 01:00:09,360
Speaker 13: I always cherished the memories of our golf games, and

1038
01:00:09,440 --> 01:00:14,120
Speaker 13: only because of his really, and I will say this

1039
01:00:14,280 --> 01:00:17,160
Speaker 13: memorial service is so hard to say, a memorial service,

1040
01:00:17,280 --> 01:00:20,000
Speaker 13: or Lindsay, it's hard to say, but I'll admit that

1041
01:00:20,120 --> 01:00:25,720
Speaker 13: one time Lindsay Graham and Anoka Sorensen actually beat me

1042
01:00:26,040 --> 01:00:29,280
Speaker 13: and Gary Player together. Can you believe that Anaka played

1043
01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:34,160
Speaker 13: very well that day? Actually, But right to the end,

1044
01:00:34,280 --> 01:00:37,200
Speaker 13: Lindsay carried it his golf bag, the putter that once

1045
01:00:37,280 --> 01:00:40,439
Speaker 13: belonged to his dad, and he carried it with him

1046
01:00:40,480 --> 01:00:44,680
Speaker 13: with class and with a ring that was so beautiful

1047
01:00:44,720 --> 01:00:48,200
Speaker 13: of his mother. And they were laying right at his

1048
01:00:48,280 --> 01:00:52,360
Speaker 13: bedside the night he died. They were there, had him

1049
01:00:52,400 --> 01:00:56,280
Speaker 13: with him at all times. From that pool hall where

1050
01:00:56,320 --> 01:00:58,920
Speaker 13: his parents raised him, to the halls of the United

1051
01:00:58,960 --> 01:01:02,959
Speaker 13: States Senate, where he was respected and loved, the son

1052
01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:05,920
Speaker 13: of South Carolina became one of the most important men

1053
01:01:06,520 --> 01:01:09,880
Speaker 13: in the most important country on earth. In a city

1054
01:01:09,920 --> 01:01:13,960
Speaker 13: where politicians often become jaded and Seneca, Lindsey Graham never

1055
01:01:14,080 --> 01:01:19,880
Speaker 13: lost the old fashioned American idealism that brought him to

1056
01:01:19,960 --> 01:01:21,200
Speaker 13: the highest levels of.

1057
01:01:21,200 --> 01:01:23,440
Speaker 14: Government and life.

1058
01:01:23,560 --> 01:01:27,360
Speaker 13: He took his duty seriously without taking himself too seriously.

1059
01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:31,480
Speaker 13: He was unwavering in his principles, but always willing to listen.

1060
01:01:31,520 --> 01:01:36,120
Speaker 13: He always wanted to listen. And one thing about Lindsay

1061
01:01:36,160 --> 01:01:39,840
Speaker 13: that we all know he never quit. You wanted him

1062
01:01:39,880 --> 01:01:42,400
Speaker 13: to quit, You waited for him to quit, but he

1063
01:01:42,400 --> 01:01:43,320
Speaker 13: would never quit.

1064
01:01:46,760 --> 01:01:48,320
Speaker 14: And the American.

1065
01:01:47,920 --> 01:01:51,400
Speaker 13: People, if you shared that view, you had a friend

1066
01:01:51,440 --> 01:01:54,640
Speaker 13: in Lindsay. If you didn't share it, there was no

1067
01:01:54,800 --> 01:01:59,440
Speaker 13: fiercer or more constant opponent. Our nation needs.

1068
01:01:59,160 --> 01:02:01,320
Speaker 14: More men and women.

1069
01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:08,840
Speaker 13: Like that great person sitting laying wherever he may be.

1070
01:02:09,080 --> 01:02:10,720
Speaker 13: I think I know where he is, and I think

1071
01:02:10,720 --> 01:02:11,320
Speaker 13: he's up there.

1072
01:02:11,360 --> 01:02:13,440
Speaker 14: I think he's watching us. I'm pretty sure of it.

1073
01:02:15,880 --> 01:02:20,640
Speaker 13: Scripture tells us that blessed is the man who remains

1074
01:02:20,680 --> 01:02:25,200
Speaker 13: steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test,

1075
01:02:25,520 --> 01:02:30,080
Speaker 13: he will receive the crown of life. For seventy one years,

1076
01:02:30,160 --> 01:02:35,200
Speaker 13: Lindsey Graham was strong and steadfast as a brother, a senator,

1077
01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:40,280
Speaker 13: a warrior, and a patriot. He withstood every last test,

1078
01:02:40,640 --> 01:02:44,080
Speaker 13: every single test that you can go through in every trial.

1079
01:02:44,720 --> 01:02:47,240
Speaker 13: And now he wears the crown of life and heaven,

1080
01:02:47,680 --> 01:02:54,200
Speaker 13: reunited with his parents and reunited with his Lord. I

1081
01:02:54,360 --> 01:02:57,600
Speaker 13: end by saying something very very special.

1082
01:02:58,040 --> 01:03:01,240
Speaker 14: Lindsey. We love you, God bless you.

1083
01:03:01,520 --> 01:03:05,040
Speaker 13: We will always be with you, and you were very

1084
01:03:05,240 --> 01:03:06,000
Speaker 13: very special.

1085
01:03:06,120 --> 01:03:07,400
Speaker 14: Thank you, Thank you very much.

1086
01:03:10,160 --> 01:03:13,240
Speaker 3: You've been listening to President Donald J.

1087
01:03:13,680 --> 01:03:18,720
Speaker 2: Trump delivering the eulogy for his good friend Lindsey Graham,

1088
01:03:18,760 --> 01:03:23,720
Speaker 2: whose funeral service is underway at the National Cathedral in Washington,

1089
01:03:23,800 --> 01:03:26,480
Speaker 2: d C. This is Scott Jennings anchoring live coverage of

1090
01:03:26,520 --> 01:03:32,080
Speaker 2: the funeral of Lindsay Graham and talking today about his life,

1091
01:03:32,520 --> 01:03:36,720
Speaker 2: his patriotism, his service to our country, what he meant

1092
01:03:36,720 --> 01:03:39,320
Speaker 2: to the Republican Party, what he meant to our national

1093
01:03:39,520 --> 01:03:44,280
Speaker 2: foreign policy. It is a sad day in Washington, as

1094
01:03:44,360 --> 01:03:47,480
Speaker 2: you saw the president. If you're watching any video coverage

1095
01:03:47,480 --> 01:03:49,960
Speaker 2: of this on the Salem News Channel or on other

1096
01:03:50,040 --> 01:03:55,520
Speaker 2: news channels, and you'll see the President sitting solemnly and

1097
01:03:55,560 --> 01:03:56,120
Speaker 2: his pew.

1098
01:03:56,960 --> 01:03:58,000
Speaker 3: He looked sad.

1099
01:03:58,560 --> 01:04:02,960
Speaker 2: Lindsey Graham was more than just a political ally of

1100
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:06,560
Speaker 2: the president. They were close friends, and the President made

1101
01:04:07,360 --> 01:04:10,160
Speaker 2: no secret of the fact that he loved Lindsay Graham

1102
01:04:10,160 --> 01:04:13,520
Speaker 2: and that they played golf together and they enjoyed a

1103
01:04:13,560 --> 01:04:19,240
Speaker 2: lot of personal interactions together, and I think he considered

1104
01:04:19,320 --> 01:04:23,000
Speaker 2: Lindsay Graham almost like a member of the Trump family.

1105
01:04:23,520 --> 01:04:26,920
Speaker 2: Most of the President's cabinet is gathered in the National Cathedral.

1106
01:04:27,360 --> 01:04:31,760
Speaker 2: We've also seen other luminaries from official Washington in there,

1107
01:04:31,880 --> 01:04:35,120
Speaker 2: and we have seen world leaders in Washington, d C. Today,

1108
01:04:35,240 --> 01:04:39,600
Speaker 2: both Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netan Yahoo is in the

1109
01:04:39,680 --> 01:04:45,280
Speaker 2: National Cathedral and Voldemir Zolensky, the President of Ukraine. Of course,

1110
01:04:45,360 --> 01:04:52,120
Speaker 2: Lindsey Graham was a staunch advocate for both what Israel

1111
01:04:52,280 --> 01:04:55,520
Speaker 2: is doing to rid the world of the Iranian terror

1112
01:04:55,520 --> 01:04:59,919
Speaker 2: regime and what Zelenski is doing to repel the rush

1113
01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:05,840
Speaker 2: An invasion in his country. Again, this is live coverage

1114
01:05:05,840 --> 01:05:09,160
Speaker 2: of the funeral service for Lindsey Graham. We're going to

1115
01:05:09,200 --> 01:05:10,960
Speaker 2: take a break and when we come back, we'll talk

1116
01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:12,800
Speaker 2: a little bit more as we wrap up the show

1117
01:05:12,840 --> 01:05:15,880
Speaker 2: about this funeral going on in Washington, DC right now.

1118
01:05:15,920 --> 01:05:18,080
Speaker 3: First, a quick word from our friends at Chapter.

1119
01:05:18,680 --> 01:05:21,800
Speaker 2: If you are on Medicare, there is a good chance

1120
01:05:22,360 --> 01:05:24,720
Speaker 2: you could be overpaying for your plan and not even

1121
01:05:24,760 --> 01:05:28,120
Speaker 2: know it. I'll give you a personal anecdote. My mom

1122
01:05:28,720 --> 01:05:31,600
Speaker 2: signed up for a plan and it looked fine, good coverage,

1123
01:05:31,640 --> 01:05:34,600
Speaker 2: nothing obviously wrong with it. But then she talked to

1124
01:05:34,640 --> 01:05:38,240
Speaker 2: our friends, the advisors at Chapter, to see is this

1125
01:05:38,320 --> 01:05:41,120
Speaker 2: the right plan? Am I getting the absolute best deal?

1126
01:05:41,800 --> 01:05:44,600
Speaker 2: And it turns out that she was not. Chapter found

1127
01:05:44,640 --> 01:05:48,840
Speaker 2: my mom, my own mother, the same plan G coverage

1128
01:05:49,240 --> 01:05:52,640
Speaker 2: that she already had, same benefits, same protection, but for

1129
01:05:52,720 --> 01:05:57,160
Speaker 2: over six hundred dollars less per year. That's the problem

1130
01:05:57,200 --> 01:05:59,720
Speaker 2: with Medicare. You get on these plans, you assume nothing

1131
01:05:59,760 --> 01:06:02,840
Speaker 2: is but the system is so confusing that you really

1132
01:06:02,880 --> 01:06:05,520
Speaker 2: never know for sure. That's why I'm partnering with Chapter.

1133
01:06:06,080 --> 01:06:08,400
Speaker 2: You call up the advisors at Chapter who work for

1134
01:06:08,520 --> 01:06:11,360
Speaker 2: you and not the insurance companies, and they'll give you

1135
01:06:11,400 --> 01:06:14,280
Speaker 2: the right answers save you some money too. Dial pound

1136
01:06:14,360 --> 01:06:18,440
Speaker 2: two five zero pound two five zero and say Medicare

1137
01:06:18,520 --> 01:06:22,600
Speaker 2: plan or go to ask Chapter dot org slash Jennings

1138
01:06:23,240 --> 01:06:25,040
Speaker 2: and you'll find out am I on the right plan?

1139
01:06:25,280 --> 01:06:27,160
Speaker 2: Or could I be on a better plan? Could I

1140
01:06:27,200 --> 01:06:30,200
Speaker 2: be saving money? Our friends at Chapter have the answers.

1141
01:06:30,560 --> 01:06:32,480
Speaker 2: We'll wrap up the show on live coverage of the

1142
01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:35,240
Speaker 2: funeral of Lindsay Graham right after this on Salem, Stay.

1143

Speaker 6: With us the Voice of Reason Common sense for the

1144

Speaker 2: of Senator Lindsey Graham going on at the National Cathedral

1147
01:06:49,840 --> 01:06:52,440
Speaker 2: in Washington, d C. We just heard the President of

1148
01:06:52,440 --> 01:06:55,760
Speaker 2: the United States wrap up his eulogy, and the next

1149

01:07:01,000 --> 01:07:03,040
Speaker 2: Sean Hannity, Let's listen to a little bit of.

1151
01:07:02,960 --> 01:07:04,520
Speaker 15: That Darley and his family.

1152
01:07:05,200 --> 01:07:06,280
Speaker 6: I loved him so much.

1153
01:07:07,200 --> 01:07:10,200
Speaker 15: You know, many of you know that I speak for

1154
01:07:10,200 --> 01:07:15,680
Speaker 15: a living and President Trump often reminds me that I

1155
01:07:15,760 --> 01:07:19,320
Speaker 15: kind of never stopped talking, whether on air or off air.

1156
01:07:20,360 --> 01:07:23,120
Speaker 15: And while it is an honor to be standing in

1157
01:07:23,160 --> 01:07:28,920
Speaker 15: this place today, I simply wish that our dear friend lindsay.

1158
01:07:28,840 --> 01:07:30,800
Speaker 6: We're here with us, as all of you do.

1159
01:07:32,160 --> 01:07:34,400
Speaker 15: He would have been so proud, he would have been

1160
01:07:34,440 --> 01:07:38,120
Speaker 15: so honored, mister President, that you were here, Mister Vice President,

1161
01:07:38,200 --> 01:07:40,720
Speaker 15: that you were here. I see, the Secretary of State

1162
01:07:40,800 --> 01:07:44,760
Speaker 15: is here, I see, the entire cabinet is here. Thank you,

1163
01:07:45,040 --> 01:07:47,000
Speaker 15: all of you, each and every one of you. Chief

1164
01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:50,560
Speaker 15: of Staff is here, Steve Woodkoff is here. See everybody,

1165
01:07:51,200 --> 01:07:55,480
Speaker 15: we are here to say goodbye, as the President said,

1166
01:07:56,040 --> 01:08:01,080
Speaker 15: to a true original, there was nobody like Lindsay. Nobody

1167
01:08:01,960 --> 01:08:05,200
Speaker 15: he loved being a US senator. He loved representing the

1168
01:08:05,200 --> 01:08:09,800
Speaker 15: great state of South Carolina. He worked harder, He traveled

1169
01:08:09,800 --> 01:08:13,360
Speaker 15: more than any senator I ever knew. I couldn't believe

1170
01:08:13,400 --> 01:08:17,280
Speaker 15: his travel schedule. And he was just a force of

1171
01:08:17,400 --> 01:08:22,439
Speaker 15: nature in a good way for good reasons. Nobody visited

1172
01:08:22,439 --> 01:08:26,519
Speaker 15: more war zones, Nobody met with more active duty troops.

1173
01:08:27,120 --> 01:08:31,080
Speaker 15: Nobody loved, with the exception perhaps of our President, our

1174
01:08:31,120 --> 01:08:35,559
Speaker 15: military more. And that included the decades of service that

1175
01:08:35,880 --> 01:08:39,760
Speaker 15: he served himself, both on active duty and in the reserves,

1176
01:08:40,560 --> 01:08:43,880
Speaker 15: to our nation's warriors. I have a message to you today.

1177
01:08:44,920 --> 01:08:48,320
Speaker 15: He was so so grateful to all of you for

1178
01:08:48,439 --> 01:08:51,320
Speaker 15: putting your lives on the line for your country.

1179
01:08:51,560 --> 01:08:53,000
Speaker 14: Nobody admired you more.

1180
01:08:54,200 --> 01:08:56,040
Speaker 15: Now I want to say, for the record, Lindsay and

1181
01:08:56,040 --> 01:08:57,920
Speaker 15: I did not always agree.

1182
01:08:57,960 --> 01:08:58,719
Speaker 8: Not on everything.

1183
01:08:59,720 --> 01:09:02,760
Speaker 15: We could disagree and we could remain friends, and we

1184
01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:08,479
Speaker 15: remain friends for decades. We had similar backgrounds. This may

1185
01:09:08,520 --> 01:09:12,160
Speaker 15: shock some of you. We both in different ways. We

1186
01:09:12,200 --> 01:09:15,360
Speaker 15: both grew up in a bar, you know. I started

1187
01:09:15,400 --> 01:09:18,639
Speaker 15: working at twelve washing dishes till two three in the morning,

1188
01:09:19,160 --> 01:09:22,120
Speaker 15: and I was a cook at thirteen. At seventeen, I

1189
01:09:22,160 --> 01:09:26,479
Speaker 15: was tending bar. Lindsey, as the President mentioned, and a

1190
01:09:26,520 --> 01:09:32,320
Speaker 15: bartender at seventeen, and his father, Darlene you know, as

1191
01:09:32,360 --> 01:09:35,719
Speaker 15: you know, he ran a bar, he ran a liquor store,

1192
01:09:36,000 --> 01:09:40,760
Speaker 15: he ran a pool room. And it's amazing what life

1193
01:09:40,880 --> 01:09:43,800
Speaker 15: lessons you can learn in that environment. By the way,

1194
01:09:43,880 --> 01:09:47,200
Speaker 15: not all of them are really good lessons. I can

1195
01:09:47,200 --> 01:09:50,800
Speaker 15: tell you that we did laugh about it constantly. We

1196
01:09:50,840 --> 01:09:55,560
Speaker 15: shared stories always, and yes I shouldn't admit this, in

1197
01:09:55,600 --> 01:09:58,240
Speaker 15: the National Cathedral, we could still curse like we were

1198
01:09:58,439 --> 01:10:02,719
Speaker 15: behind a bar. Lindsey does hold a couple of records

1199
01:10:02,720 --> 01:10:04,960
Speaker 15: that I don't think will ever be broken on the

1200
01:10:04,960 --> 01:10:09,600
Speaker 15: Fox News channel. And number one was how freely he

1201
01:10:09,600 --> 01:10:14,120
Speaker 15: would use certain words on my show, in particular now

1202
01:10:14,120 --> 01:10:15,400
Speaker 15: in this beautiful cathedral.

1203
01:10:15,400 --> 01:10:16,439
Speaker 6: I will not repeat them.

1204
01:10:16,920 --> 01:10:21,680
Speaker 15: But his first record was on how many different occasions

1205
01:10:21,720 --> 01:10:24,040
Speaker 15: those words would come flying out of his mouth.

1206
01:10:24,640 --> 01:10:25,639
Speaker 6: That was record one.

1207
01:10:26,240 --> 01:10:28,599
Speaker 15: Record number two is how many times could he say

1208
01:10:28,600 --> 01:10:31,639
Speaker 15: it in a single appearance. I did show a montage

1209
01:10:31,680 --> 01:10:36,200
Speaker 15: on my show about this, and I will selfishly admit

1210
01:10:36,280 --> 01:10:40,320
Speaker 15: that when a US senator utters certain words on National TV.

1211
01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:43,880
Speaker 15: It is really mister President, you'll appreciate this. It is

1212
01:10:43,960 --> 01:10:49,080
Speaker 15: great for ratings, and Senator Graham was great for ratings

1213
01:10:49,520 --> 01:10:52,960
Speaker 15: because people listened to him. He drew you in. He

1214
01:10:53,720 --> 01:10:57,080
Speaker 15: had that passion to draw you in. So for that

1215
01:10:57,160 --> 01:11:01,080
Speaker 15: I was very grateful. Lindsey also is well known on

1216
01:11:01,120 --> 01:11:04,439
Speaker 15: my TV show. He was a shameless help promoter. I

1217
01:11:04,479 --> 01:11:07,800
Speaker 15: don't think any one person ever said Lindsey Graham dot

1218
01:11:07,840 --> 01:11:11,840
Speaker 15: com more than Lindsey Graham. And then he'd called me

1219
01:11:11,880 --> 01:11:14,000
Speaker 15: hours later and tell me how much money he raised

1220
01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:18,439
Speaker 15: on my show that night, and over and over. If

1221
01:11:18,439 --> 01:11:20,479
Speaker 15: he were here today, I'm sure he would not miss

1222
01:11:20,479 --> 01:11:25,519
Speaker 15: a chance to say, Darlenegraham dot com.

1223
01:11:25,640 --> 01:11:28,080
Speaker 2: I'll se be listening to live coverage for the re

1224
01:11:28,200 --> 01:11:31,920
Speaker 2: funeral service for Lindsey Graham taking place in the National

1230
01:11:47,240 --> 01:11:50,320
Speaker 2: day in Washington, but a day to remember an American patriot,

1231
01:11:50,400 --> 01:11:55,200
Speaker 2: someone who stood up for the idea that America was

1232
01:11:55,240 --> 01:11:57,040
Speaker 2: a force for good in the world, and who stood

1233
01:11:57,120 --> 01:12:01,519
Speaker 2: up for the defense of Western civilization. Speed to our

1234
01:12:01,600 --> 01:12:05,360
