Congressman Tom Cole joins to discuss 13 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:50,200 Speaker 1: what happens when Congress returns to Washington next week. Interior 14 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: Secretary Doug Bergham is here today to talk about beautifying Washington, 15 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 1: DC ahead of America's two hundred and fiftieth anniversary, and 16 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 1: the Artemis Astronauts talk to the world as they speed 17 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 1: toward a Friday night splashdown back home. It is Thursday, 18 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 1: April the ninth. This is common sense for the American people, 19 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 1: and I am Scott Jennings broadcasting for Salem and on 20 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 1: this day in history, a defining moment for the nation. 21 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,760 Speaker 1: In eighteen sixty five, the American Civil War came to 22 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 1: an end as Confederate General Robert E. Lee surrendered to 23 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 1: Union General Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Courthouse. As for 24 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 1: today's news, we begin with Iran, and as far as 25 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 1: we know, the peace talks set for this weekend are 26 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 1: still on. Vice President Vance set to lead the delegation 27 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 1: to Pakistan to work. 28 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 2: Out something with the Iranians. 29 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 1: If this meeting goes through, it will be the highest 30 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: level American meeting with this particular regime since it took power. 31 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: But this has pardon me, but this ceasefire is somewhat 32 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 1: ragged around the edges today. 33 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 2: Those tears are getting bigger every moment. 34 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 1: It is a fair question to ask can Iran even 35 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: be trusted to keep any promises today or in the future. 36 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: The President says the US military remains locked and loaded 37 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: should Iran violate the agreement, but some people say they already. 38 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 1: Are two major issues to discuss. First, Iran is angry 39 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 1: that Israel is shelling Hesbela and Lebanon. Heavy bombardment continues 40 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: in Beirut. The Iranians want the Israelis to stop the 41 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 1: allies say this was never part of the deal and 42 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 1: this is just into the show here. Prime Minister NETANYAHUO 43 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: in Israel has released a statement I'll read it for 44 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: you quote. In light of Lebanon's repeated request to open 45 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: direct negotiations with Israel, I instructed yesterday to begin direct 46 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:45,920 Speaker 1: negotiations with Lebanon as. 47 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 2: Soon as possible. 48 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 1: The negotiations will focus on disarming Hesbela and establishing peaceful 49 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:57,080 Speaker 1: relations between Israel and Lebanon. Israel appreciates the Lebanese Prime 50 00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: Minister's call to demilitarize as Bay Roots, so there may 51 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,799 Speaker 1: be some movement on this topic. The other issue, of course, 52 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 1: is the Strait of Hormews. Iran still has something of 53 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: a chokehold on it. Trump said the ceasefire will only 54 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 1: be valid if it is fully open. That doesn't seem 55 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 1: to have happened yet, although although a handful of vessels 56 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 1: have passed through the strait today so there is some 57 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:28,639 Speaker 1: activity there. Hour by hour things change, Public posturing occurs, 58 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:34,079 Speaker 1: Misinformation and propaganda is put into the water by numerous parties, 59 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: including some in the media who falsely reported that the 60 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: United States had accepted some ridiculous ten point plan from 61 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: the Iranians. Not so fast, says White House Press Secretary 62 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: Caroline Levitt. 63 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 2: Let's hear her and cut number twelve. 64 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 4: The Iranians originally put forward a ten point plan that 65 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 4: was fundamentally unserious, unacceptable, and completely discarded. 66 00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 2: It was literally thrown in. 67 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 4: The garbage by President Trump and his negotiating team. Many 68 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 4: outlets in this room have falsely reported on that plan 69 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 4: as being acceptable to the United States, and that is false. 70 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: The bottom line question here is will all of this 71 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 1: hold together long enough to get to the negotiating table 72 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,479 Speaker 1: on Saturday. Well, we all wait, and we all watch, 73 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: and we follow the breaking news here on the Scott 74 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 1: Jennings Show. Now, this Iran business has further frayed President 75 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 1: Trump's already jaundice view of the NATO alliance. He's publicly 76 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,279 Speaker 1: musing about what the future of NATO might look like. 77 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 1: Several NATO allies have been less than helpful on the 78 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 1: Iran issue, and Trump has certainly noticed. The President did 79 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: meet with NATO's Secretary General Mark Ruda last night in 80 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: the White House. Ruda was asked by CNN yesterday if 81 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,719 Speaker 1: what the US has done to Iran militarily has made 82 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 1: the world a safer place. 83 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,719 Speaker 2: His answer in cut number three is. 84 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 5: The world safer today than it was before the war 85 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 5: was started? 86 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 6: Absolutely because, and this is thanks to President trump leadership, 87 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 6: the degrading these capabilities is really really very important for 88 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 6: your and my safety here in the US, in Europe, 89 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 6: in the Middle East. 90 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 1: While Trump remains angry with NATO, his meeting with Ruda 91 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 1: last night appears to have at least delayed any dramatic 92 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:27,359 Speaker 1: statements about the US withdrawing from the alliance. But you 93 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 1: can bet the President remains very upset by the actions, 94 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 1: or rather inactions of some of our supposed allies in NATO. 95 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,359 Speaker 1: In box today from the Department of Homeland Security, the 96 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 1: numbers are in and eleven straight months of zero releases 97 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: at the Southern border. Daily apprehensions are down ninety five 98 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:54,480 Speaker 1: percent from the Biden years. The Southern border is more 99 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 1: secure now than at any time in our nation's history, 100 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 1: it seems to me speaking of has arrested more than 101 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: eight hundred people after receiving tips from the TSA using 102 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 1: data from over thirty one thousand airline passengers. That program 103 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 1: was originally designed for counter terrorism, they're now using it 104 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 1: to track down immigration suspects and even anticipate their travel plans. 105 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,839 Speaker 1: The Artemist two astronauts are on their way home, and 106 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 1: last night they made a few comments about their mission. 107 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,559 Speaker 1: These four people up in space. They embody the word team. 108 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: Take a Listen to mission specialist Christina Cooke here in 109 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: cut number twenty. 110 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 7: I will miss this camaraderie. 111 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 2: I will miss. 112 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 7: Being this close with this many people and having a 113 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,479 Speaker 7: common purpose, a common mission, getting to work on it 114 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,599 Speaker 7: hard at heart every day across hundreds of thousands of 115 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 7: miles with a team on the ground. This sense of 116 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 7: teamwork is something that you don't usually get like as 117 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 7: an adult. I mean, we are close like brothers and sisters, 118 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 7: and that is a privilege we will never have again. 119 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 7: I have to say, I don't think there's anything I 120 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 7: would say I won't miss or that I'm just ready 121 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 7: to be over, because this whole thing is a package. 122 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 7: We can't explore deeper unless we are doing a few 123 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 7: things that are inconvenient, unless we're making a few sacrifices, 124 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 7: unless we're taking a few risks, and those things are 125 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 7: all worth it. 126 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 1: Really, I've enjoyed listening to the Artemis crew talk to 127 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: the people of Earth while they're on this extraordinary mission. 128 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 1: The Friday Nights splashed down off the coast of San 129 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 1: Diego remains on track for these brave astronauts. Secretary of 130 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 1: War Pete Hegseth is moving the military away from its 131 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 1: long standing partnerships with ID League schools, and they're now 132 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: focusing on other colleges like our friends at Hillsdale College 133 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: up in Michigan. Hillsdale President Larry arn has sent a 134 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 1: letter to Hegseth and said the college would be honored 135 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: to teach military officers through the Senior Service College Fellowship program, 136 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: which educates potential defense leaders. I can't think of a 137 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 1: better place, frankly than Hillsdale for military leaders to learn 138 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: about the American tradition, to learn about Western civilization and 139 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: why defending these values is so vital to our future. 140 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 1: The Trump administration is taking aim at schools in Los 141 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 1: Angeles over transgender policies. Federal officials are investigating the LA 142 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 1: School District, focusing on rules that allow schools to withhold 143 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 1: a student's gender identity from parents. The administration says that 144 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 1: violates parental rights and it undermines transparency in education. The 145 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 1: hours top story is, will we have peace talks with 146 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: Iran this weekend supposed to take place in Pakistan, and 147 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,719 Speaker 1: will the issues at play derail those peace talks. One 148 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: of the issues is the continued fighting going on between 149 00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 1: Israel and Hesbola, which operates out of Lebanon, is mad 150 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,719 Speaker 1: about that. The Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has reached out 151 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 1: to Lebanon about talks regarding this matter. I do have 152 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,320 Speaker 1: some fresh audio into the Scott Jennings show the guys 153 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: in the booth. We'll call an audible here. We have 154 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 1: the Vice President now jd Vance. Let's hear what he 155 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:20,200 Speaker 1: has to say about the possibility of Iran calling off 156 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 1: peace talks over the Lebanon issue. We'll hear the Vice 157 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,559 Speaker 1: president here and cut number twenty eight. 158 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 5: But look, if Iran wants to let this negotiation fall 159 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 5: apart in a conflict where they were getting cammered over Lebanon, 160 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 5: which has nothing to do with them and which the 161 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 5: United States never once said was part of the ceasefire, 162 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:41,680 Speaker 5: that's ultimately their choice. 163 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 2: We think that would be dumb. 164 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 8: But that's their choice. 165 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,079 Speaker 1: Vice President Jade Vance is set to lead the US 166 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 1: delegation to Pakistan with Witkoff and Kushner on Saturday. A 167 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: word from our friends at Relief Factor. You know, our 168 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 1: founders believe that freedom wasn't just a word, it was 169 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 1: a way of life, the freedom to move forward, to 170 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: pursue what matters most, to live your life fully. But 171 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 1: pain has a way of taking away that freedom, doesn't it. 172 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 1: That's why relief Factor exists.

Our next guest. 213 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 2: Is Eli Lake. 214 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 1: He's a columnist and host of Breaking History for the 215 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: Free Press and a contributing editor at Commentary. His latest 216 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 1: piece caught my attention entitled Trump's Madman Act Delivers in Iran. 217 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 1: Eli Lake, Welcome into the Scott Chenning Show. 218 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 10: Oh, thanks so much for having me, big fan. 219 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 1: Well, I'm same here, been reading you for years. You 220 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: wrote this piece just after the ceasefire was announced. Obviously 221 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,440 Speaker 1: a few things have occurred since that moment. Where do 222 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 1: you think things stand at this hour? Are we going 223 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 1: to get to the negotiating table on Saturday? 224 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 10: It's unclear and it's touch and go. Some of the 225 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 10: public statements from the people who would effectively be in 226 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 10: charge of the battered regime in Iran suggests that unless 227 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 10: there is a sort of ceasefire in Lebanon, then there 228 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 10: will be no talks. That said, as you read at 229 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 10: the top of the show, there seems to be some 230 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,959 Speaker 10: wiggle room from Prime Minister net Yahoo in this respect. 231 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 10: I think it's fairly important because he is saying that 232 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 10: he is in touch with the government in Lebanon that 233 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 10: for the longest time was bullied by Hasballah and Iran 234 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 10: into basically allowing a kind of state within a state 235 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:57,359 Speaker 10: to put their own country at great risk. And finally, 236 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 10: because of Israel's milit terry campaign against Hesbla, on the 237 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:06,439 Speaker 10: American Israel campaign against Iran, we're starting to see that 238 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:11,200 Speaker 10: the government in Bayroot has found some carriage and has 239 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,679 Speaker 10: you know, expelled the Iranian ambassador is in the process 240 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 10: of now at least claiming that they would like to 241 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 10: take on this this other militia in southern Lebanon and Hesbelah. 242 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 10: That is a very good thing. And I think that 243 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 10: if Netnyaho can secure some important pledges, and then I 244 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 10: think the question is capability at this point not so, 245 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 10: you know, with the Lebanese, then backing off now might 246 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 10: be a very wise move to give the US some 247 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 10: time in these discussions to see what they can get 248 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 10: out of the Iranians and these talks that begin over 249 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 10: the weekend, and then to do it in partnership with 250 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 10: the government in Bayrout really is a game changer. 251 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 1: The other issue, of course, is the Strait of Horror moves. 252 00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 1: When Trump announced this ceasefire, he said it was pen 253 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 1: the opening of the Strait of Horror moves. Iran has 254 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 1: had something of a choke hold on this. I think 255 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: a few ships went through yesterday. There's been some activity today. 256 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 1: Do you consider this to be fully opened at this point, 257 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 1: as the President called for? Does it need to be 258 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 1: quote fully opened before we show up at this meeting 259 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 1: on Saturday. 260 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 10: Well, I do think it's not fully opened, but I 261 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 10: also think that at this point it's worth it if 262 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 10: you can, if you feel like you can get the 263 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 10: agreement to open it, because what that does is that 264 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 10: really does take care of this risk of an economic 265 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 10: shock as a result of the war. And that's important 266 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 10: politically for the President, it's important obviously for regular Americans, 267 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 10: and I think it buys him more time if he 268 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 10: needs to use military activity later on. So that's the 269 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 10: one hard power threat and piece of leverage that the 270 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 10: Iranians have is the ability to harass and threaten shipping 271 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 10: through the Strait of Our Mouse. If they're willing to 272 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 10: back that away then, I mean, all all the rest 273 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 10: of their military is pretty wrecked. Their ability to threaten 274 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 10: their neighbors has been significantly diminished. Although they still have 275 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 10: some ballistic missiles, and you know, much of their nuclear 276 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:17,200 Speaker 10: program was destroyed in the Twelve Day War, there are 277 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 10: still important, you know, interests. The United States has to 278 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 10: get out of these negotiations and would like to get 279 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 10: out of these negotiations, mainly the over nine hundred pounds 280 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 10: of enriched uranium, which we think is buried beneath you know, 281 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 10: one of these kind of cratered Enrichmond facilities in Isfahan 282 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 10: or somewhere else. But that right there, you know, is 283 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 10: kind of you can I could see even if you 284 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 10: don't get an agreement right away on that. The Iranians 285 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:45,880 Speaker 10: have been set back enormously on their nuclear ambitions, and 286 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 10: I think their regime is significantly weakened, their militaries and 287 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 10: you know, dire straits. So I think overall, right now, 288 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 10: I'd rather be America than Iran. 289 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's pretty easy to tell who's winning 290 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 1: and losing here, unless unless you're a Democrat or somebody 291 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 1: in the American punditocracy. Who's just committed to making everything 292 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,160 Speaker 1: negative about Donald Trump, then you're having a very difficult 293 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,680 Speaker 1: time telling the good guys from the bad guys. 294 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 2: Eli Lake. 295 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 1: He is a columnist host of Breaking History for The 296 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 1: Free Press a contributing editor at Commentary.

Coming up in sixty seconds, 345 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: we have the Chairman of the House House Appropriations Committee, 346 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 1: Tom Cole of Oklahoma. He is joining us live to 347 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 1: discuss the prospects for getting DHS reopened. First, I do 348 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 1: need to deliver a serious message from our friends at 349 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 1: Child Help.

Now April is 351 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,639 Speaker 1: National Child Abuse Awareness Month. This is a time that 352 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 1: we need to shine a light on a crisis that 353 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 1: often goes unseen until tragedy strikes. Most people don't realize 354 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,879 Speaker 1: how common child abuse really is or how often it 355 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 1: happens behind closed doors. 356 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 2: For nearly seven. 357 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 1: Decades, child Help has been on the front lines of 358 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:47,440 Speaker 1: prevention and healing, working nationwide to protect children through education, 359 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:52,879 Speaker 1: advocacy centers, foster care and adoption services, therapy, and of course, 360 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:54,399 Speaker 1: their twenty four to seven. 361 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,160 Speaker 2: National Child Abuse Hotline. 362 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 1: If something doesn't feel right, you don't have to be 363 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,720 Speaker 1: certain to reach out and make a call, and just 364 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 1: one call can. 365 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 2: Help save a child's life. 366 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:09,200 Speaker 1: Visit childhelp dot org to learn the signs, to find 367 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:12,679 Speaker 1: support and to be part of the solution.

Joining us now 370 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 1: is Republican Congressman Tom Cole of Oklahoma. He is the 371 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 1: Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee. Mister Chairman, great to 372 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 1: have you back on the Scott Jennings Show. Before we 373 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 1: get to the legislating that needs to be done next week, 374 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,160 Speaker 1: I wanted to get your quick reaction to the situation 375 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,479 Speaker 1: where Iran, the ceasefire and these peace talks that are 376 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:44,880 Speaker 1: supposed to happen this weekend. 377 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 2: How are you feeling about it all? 378 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,400 Speaker 11: Sir well, I have a lot of confidence in President 379 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,720 Speaker 11: Trump on this look. I think he's achieved most of 380 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 11: the military objectives we have. That is, he's significantly there 381 00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:02,399 Speaker 11: is no Iranian for there is no Iranian navy. He 382 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:07,200 Speaker 11: significantly degraded their missile and drone capability. The launches were 383 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,159 Speaker 11: down over ninety percent, of missiles over eighty percent the 384 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:14,639 Speaker 11: time of drones at the time of the ceasefire. Obviously, 385 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 11: the Israelis have taken out a couple of layers of 386 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 11: Iranian leadership, and I don't know obviously what's going on 387 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 11: behind the scenes in terms of discussions. I've learned what's 388 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:30,359 Speaker 11: said privately doesn't always reflect what the Iranians say publicly. 389 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,359 Speaker 11: But the President clearly season opening air and has given 390 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 11: them an opportunity. But I think it's also signals he's 391 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,680 Speaker 11: quite prepared to go to the next level militarily if 392 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 11: that's needed. And the balls in the Iranian court now, 393 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 11: I think pretty quickly we'll know whether or not they're 394 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 11: going to open up the Strait of Hormuz. Pretty quickly, 395 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 11: We're going to know whether or not they are serious 396 00:22:55,359 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 11: about lowering their involvement in terrorism within the region. And 397 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,919 Speaker 11: I think We've already made the nuclear option, one that 398 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,399 Speaker 11: you know is very difficult for them. I mean, the 399 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,359 Speaker 11: nuclear material that we know they have, they have a 400 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 11: hard time getting to because it's buried under tons of rubble, 401 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 11: and it's something we can do at our will. So again, 402 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,359 Speaker 11: we'll find out if they want to sit down and 403 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,960 Speaker 11: come to a deal. I think the president's a reasonable guy. 404 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:26,000 Speaker 11: If they're not, then there's certainly the prospect to presume 405 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 11: military activity. 406 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:30,879 Speaker 2: All right, let's bring it home to Washington, d C. 407 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 1: Congress has been on recess for Easter that ends next week. 408 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 1: You all will be coming back to town, and you're 409 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:41,639 Speaker 1: coming back to town with the Department of Homeland Security still 410 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,159 Speaker 1: shut down. The Democrats have had this shutdown. It's the 411 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:48,120 Speaker 1: longest shutdown of any part of our government in US history. 412 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:52,879 Speaker 1: There is this two track plan. One track to fund DHS, 413 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:57,359 Speaker 1: sands immigration enforcement through an appropriations bill and the second 414 00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 1: track to fund immigration enforcement plus other things through a 415 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:06,119 Speaker 1: budget reconciliation track. Is that still the plan and do 416 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,960 Speaker 1: you anticipate the House acting on that early next week? 417 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,920 Speaker 11: I think that is the plan. It's unfortunate, by the 418 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 11: way we're at this point. The House has passed four 419 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:20,359 Speaker 11: times full funding for the entire department, and to be 420 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 11: fair to the Senate, they have to at least in 421 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 11: terms of a majority of votes. We've got a pretty 422 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 11: solid fifty five, pretty much all the Republicans couple the Democrats. 423 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:33,160 Speaker 11: So this is really a problem created by Senate Democrats, 424 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 11: egged on, I will say, by House Democrats. But you know, 425 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 11: we have majorities in both chambers that ought to be sufficient. 426 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 11: We have the filibuster. There's a couple ways around that 427 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 11: the Senate could change. That's not my business. I respect 428 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,239 Speaker 11: the Senate's choice of what it wants to do. Or 429 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 11: they could simply remove appropriations bills from the ability to filibuster. 430 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,479 Speaker 11: Then we've done that with the appointment process to judges. 431 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 11: So there's a couple of things there. But I do 432 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,440 Speaker 11: think we will eventually get this solved again the majority 433 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,919 Speaker 11: of both chambers want to do it. But what the 434 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:14,200 Speaker 11: Democrats are doing here is unprecedented. We've never seen appropriations 435 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,920 Speaker 11: used in this fashion where you would fund almost all 436 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 11: the department. Nobody's mad at the Coastguard, nobody's mad at 437 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:25,560 Speaker 11: the Secret Service, nobody's mad at FEMA, nobody's mad as 438 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:29,399 Speaker 11: the tsa people that keep people with bombs from getting 439 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 11: on airplanes. Democrats have been willing to punish all of 440 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,720 Speaker 11: those people simply because they want to open the borders 441 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,200 Speaker 11: back up again. They don't want to fund the border patrol. 442 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,439 Speaker 11: I mean, why would anybody be mad at the border patrol. 443 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,920 Speaker 11: We're in the eighth month of no known illegal entry 444 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,919 Speaker 11: into the United States. God blessed the border patrol and 445 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,840 Speaker 11: the President because they've gotten that problem solve faster than 446 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 11: anybody can imagine. And then frankly, I think the ice 447 00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 11: element has been pretty systematically smeared by the Democrats. Again, 448 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:04,440 Speaker 11: you have to have internal enforcement of immigration. All about 449 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,359 Speaker 11: forty percent of the people that are here illegally come 450 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:10,359 Speaker 11: legally under a visa and then overstay it. So you 451 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:14,239 Speaker 11: have to have those folks and where where they had 452 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 11: the opportunity to work with law enforcement. We don't have problems. 453 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:20,920 Speaker 11: Where we have sanctuary cities in democratic areas and sanctuary states, 454 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 11: that's where we have problems. So again, I think we'll 455 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 11: work through it, but people are recognized it's Democrats putting 456 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 11: the literally the safety of Americans at risk at a 457 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 11: time of international tension. Even though both the House and 458 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:41,320 Speaker 11: the Senate under Republican leadership, is consistently passed full funding. 459 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 11: And even though House, excuse me, Senate Democrats actually accepted 460 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:50,640 Speaker 11: the deal that we gave them and then broke their word, 461 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 11: they're consistently breaking their word, coming to agreements in private 462 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:58,199 Speaker 11: and then publicly deciding now we're not going to do that, 463 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 11: and if we have to put the the American people 464 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:03,879 Speaker 11: a risk to make a point, we will. That's just 465 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 11: not only unpatriotic, it is dangerous, reckless, and irresponsible. 466 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,960 Speaker 1: Mister Chairman, it sounds like the DHS funding plan without 467 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 1: the immigration enforcement can get done fairly quickly. The supplemental 468 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 1: here funding piece that will be done through budget reconciliation, 469 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 1: that'll take a little bit of time. 470 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 2: So I have two questions about that. 471 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:27,919 Speaker 1: One is how long will it take for this reconciliation 472 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:31,640 Speaker 1: process to unspool? And number two, I know Republicans will 473 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:36,440 Speaker 1: put and restore immigration enforcement as part of reconciliation. We're 474 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,159 Speaker 1: also hearing from the White House they're going to need 475 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 1: supplemental funding for the war effort and for national defense. 476 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 2: There may be other things. 477 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,600 Speaker 1: Can you give us a preview about the timing here 478 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 1: of the reconciliation process and what you anticipate being in there, 479 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 1: And does the administration need two hundred billion dollars that's 480 00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 1: the number that's been floated for national defense. 481 00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,879 Speaker 11: Well, let's break that into several parts. First of all, 482 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,200 Speaker 11: you know it would it's hard to know if reconciliation 483 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,719 Speaker 11: will work. It's always a difficult process. As you know, 484 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:09,639 Speaker 11: it's a partisan process. You have to have every single 485 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,440 Speaker 11: one of your members in favor of it. The action 486 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:16,440 Speaker 11: starts in the Senate. On this case, the Senate would 487 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,359 Speaker 11: have to pass the reconciliation bill. I think Senator Graham 488 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,840 Speaker 11: is committed to do that. It's really up to them 489 00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,000 Speaker 11: what else they want to put in it. I think 490 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:30,679 Speaker 11: it's easier if it's narrow. No appropriators like reconciliation. Frankly, 491 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 11: it removes part of the executive brand from supervision, and 492 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 11: to be fair, that's not what the president wants to 493 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 11: do either. But he's got to fund the government, so 494 00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,960 Speaker 11: I got you know his situation. The second thing is 495 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 11: how long will it take. It could happen as quickly 496 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:48,800 Speaker 11: as a couple of weeks, and there's a lot of 497 00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:51,600 Speaker 11: sentiment in the houses they don't want to fund the 498 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 11: government or DHS partly until they get that part. They're 499 00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 11: not willing many members willing to do it. And we 500 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:03,400 Speaker 11: could probably do it because all the Democrats would vote 501 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,480 Speaker 11: for it and you'd get some Republicans, but it's a 502 00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 11: high risk political event. The other problem in the Senate 503 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 11: version from a House standpoint is it doesn't just fund 504 00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:19,680 Speaker 11: everything but excuse me, but border patrol and ice. Its 505 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 11: specifically zero's out border patrol and ice. And there's a 506 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 11: lot of my colleagues that will never vote for that, 507 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,560 Speaker 11: and I understand why. Who wants to be on record 508 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 11: we are not against border patrol. We are for border patrol, 509 00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:38,000 Speaker 11: we are not against ice. We think they're absolutely critical 510 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,880 Speaker 11: of protecting the country. None of our members want to 511 00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:46,200 Speaker 11: put their fingerprints on something that literally says in the bill, 512 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,680 Speaker 11: we're defunding you and taking you down to zero. That 513 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,440 Speaker 11: language ought to be dropped by the Senate, in my opinion, 514 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,400 Speaker 11: and we just should fund what they want to fund 515 00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 11: and then get the others through reconciliation. So that's still 516 00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:02,160 Speaker 11: a point of this probably between the two chambers. 517 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,320 Speaker 1: Interesting, So you're saying the Senate may yet need to 518 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:08,360 Speaker 1: make some changes to this two track plan. That we 519 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 1: have going here, mister Cherman, we got about a minute left. 520 00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,000 Speaker 1: I want to talk to you about the rest of 521 00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 1: the year. Obviously, a lot of what you could do 522 00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:20,160 Speaker 1: will be in these funding mechanisms. Is there any other legislation, 523 00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 1: any other ideas floating around out there from the Republicans 524 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,800 Speaker 1: that you think are critical to passage this year for 525 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 1: policy reasons, but maybe even for political reasons to show 526 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:32,600 Speaker 1: the American people that the Republicans deserve to hold their 527 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:33,680 Speaker 1: majority this November. 528 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 11: There are I mean there's some things. Let's take the 529 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 11: farm bill. Republicans represent ninety one percent of the arable 530 00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:44,280 Speaker 11: acres in the country, the farming community as part of 531 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:47,320 Speaker 11: our backbone. We've gotten it out of committee. We need 532 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,360 Speaker 11: to get that done before the end of the year. 533 00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:53,760 Speaker 11: There's some important work in cryptocurrency that's being done in 534 00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:57,920 Speaker 11: financial services that actually is genuinely bipartisan. They need to 535 00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:00,480 Speaker 11: work out the kinks and get that done. We need 536 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,800 Speaker 11: to get all the appropriations bills for the next fiscal 537 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:08,520 Speaker 11: year out of committee and start negotiations where the Democrats 538 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:11,360 Speaker 11: wants that begin. And frankly, I personally think we ought 539 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,080 Speaker 11: to look at some of the legislation Senator Langfort has 540 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 11: a bill. Senator Johnson has a bill on what do 541 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,600 Speaker 11: you do and shut downs? So we don't let Democrats 542 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,320 Speaker 11: ever again hold the country hostage in the way they 543 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,480 Speaker 11: have late last year and this year. 544 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,320 Speaker 1: Sounds like a robust agenda could be coming down from 545 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:31,440 Speaker 1: the House Republicans. That voice you're hearing today Tom Cole 546 00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:35,480 Speaker 1: of Oklahoma, he's the chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, 547 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,959 Speaker 1: one of the most experienced and knowledgeable and important policymakers 548 00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,680 Speaker 1: in Washington, d C. Mister Chairman, thanks for your time 549 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:42,880 Speaker 1: and good luck as you get back to. 550 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:43,480 Speaker 2: Town next week. 551 00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:46,520 Speaker 11: Scott, thank you all right. 552 00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:47,040 Speaker 2: Thank you, sir. 553 00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:51,160 Speaker 1: Word from our friends at the International Fellowship of Christians 554 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:52,960 Speaker 1: and Jews, and we have a story to bring you 555 00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:56,200 Speaker 1: from them. It's about a man named Phineas who has 556 00:31:56,240 --> 00:32:00,680 Speaker 1: a child survived the Holocaust. Now, Phineas survived because Christians 557 00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:04,400 Speaker 1: hid him from the Nazis. They risk everything to save 558 00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:08,160 Speaker 1: his life. Today, Phineas is in his eighties. He can 559 00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 1: no longer stand on his own, he can't even leave 560 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:15,120 Speaker 1: his home to receive medical care. And when those sirens 561 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,600 Speaker 1: are sounding and the missiles are falling in the Holy Land, 562 00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:19,280 Speaker 1: he doesn't have the time. 563 00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:21,400 Speaker 2: Or the strength to get to safety. 564 00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:26,760 Speaker 1: But once again Christians are helping save his life. Through 565 00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:30,800 Speaker 1: the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, a mobile clinic 566 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 1: brings doctors in medicine right to Phineas's home, providing care 567 00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:38,720 Speaker 1: that he otherwise would not receive, especially during this wartime. 568 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:43,400 Speaker 1: Christians saved my life during the Holocaust, Phineas says, and 569 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:48,120 Speaker 1: now again they are helping me. As Israel's Holocaust Remembrance 570 00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:52,520 Speaker 1: Day approaches, remember these precious children of God by lifting 571 00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:55,479 Speaker 1: them up in prayer. We ask for his protection, his 572 00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:59,480 Speaker 1: comfort in his peace. Stand with Israel in prayer by 573 00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:07,480 Speaker 1: visiting support. IFCJ dot org that is support. IFCJ dot org, 574 00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:10,240 Speaker 1: I'd be honored if you join me in doing that today. 575 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:12,920 Speaker 1: A couple of more news stories to round out the hour. 576 00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:15,280 Speaker 2: When do we come back? It's Scott Jennings on Salem. 577 00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:17,800 Speaker 9: Stay with us, cutting the left with the best weapon 578 00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:23,280 Speaker 9: we have, common sense. This is the Scott Jennings Show. 579 00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:26,800 Speaker 1: It is Thursday, April the ninth. Welcome back here to 580 00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:31,120 Speaker 1: Scott Jennings Show on Salem. An update now to a 581 00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:35,120 Speaker 1: story that we've been following closely for months. The brutal 582 00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:39,320 Speaker 1: killing of Irena Zurutska, a young woman who came to 583 00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:42,800 Speaker 1: this country seeking safety and who was stabbed to death 584 00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,520 Speaker 1: on a train in Charlotte, North Carolina. We have covered 585 00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:51,480 Speaker 1: this case extensively here because the warning signs were everywhere. 586 00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:57,240 Speaker 1: A suspect with a long criminal history prior arrests, documented 587 00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:01,280 Speaker 1: mental health issues and was still out roaming the reads. Well, 588 00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,760 Speaker 1: we have a major development in this case. The man 589 00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:07,280 Speaker 1: accused in that killing, his name is de Carlos Brown, Junior, 590 00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:13,080 Speaker 1: has been ruled incompetent to stand a trial after a 591 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:18,400 Speaker 1: psychiatric evaluation. Now that means this case is now effectively 592 00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:22,160 Speaker 1: on hold and a North Carolina judge will have to 593 00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:26,200 Speaker 1: decide what to do. Here here is Assistant Attorney General 594 00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:29,920 Speaker 1: Harmeet Dillon weighing in. She has made clear from the 595 00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:33,279 Speaker 1: federal government's perspective that this case is far from over. 596 00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:34,600 Speaker 2: I'll read it to you, folks. 597 00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,520 Speaker 1: Harmeat Dillon says, I had a great call this morning 598 00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:41,600 Speaker 1: with our US attorney in Charlotte. De Carlos Brown remains 599 00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:46,000 Speaker 1: in federal custody and so the parallel state proceedings are 600 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:50,400 Speaker 1: in no way dispositive. There will be a federal competency 601 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:55,680 Speaker 1: determination and prosecution track taking precedence. So no matter what 602 00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:59,360 Speaker 1: happens at the state level in North Carolina, it sounds 603 00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:02,600 Speaker 1: like the Feds, who also charged to Carlos Brown in 604 00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:06,080 Speaker 1: that killing, are going to keep their case alive. That's 605 00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:09,799 Speaker 1: a tragic situation there. Someone who should have never never 606 00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:13,480 Speaker 1: been on the streets ended up murdering that poor woman. 607 00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:17,319 Speaker 1: Here's another story. We're following a developing story out of 608 00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:21,319 Speaker 1: the Bahamas. The husband of a woman who vanished at 609 00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:26,680 Speaker 1: sea was arrested by the Royal Bahamas Police Force as 610 00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:31,279 Speaker 1: serious questions are mounting about what really happened. Authorities say 611 00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:37,200 Speaker 1: Brian Hooker claimed his wife fell overboard in rough waters. 612 00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:41,800 Speaker 1: The search for fifty five year old Lynette Hooker still 613 00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:46,640 Speaker 1: continues now the Coastguard has opened a criminal investigation. The 614 00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:51,400 Speaker 1: man's stepdaughter appeared on Fox and Friends, and she says 615 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,120 Speaker 1: she suspects foul play. 616 00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:56,120 Speaker 2: Let's listen to her. In cut number thirty. 617 00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:59,359 Speaker 12: He says, three out of very four people arrested in 618 00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:03,280 Speaker 12: fair Vaccini are leagal aliens. They're asking you to discontinue 619 00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:08,880 Speaker 12: Century City policies. Any comment along those lines, Governor, Governor, 620 00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:10,640 Speaker 12: any comment on the DHS request. 621 00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:14,160 Speaker 2: I think I think we I think we played the 622 00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:14,879 Speaker 2: wrong clip there. 623 00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:19,040 Speaker 1: So obviously from a different story, but suffice to say, 624 00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:22,680 Speaker 1: there are some fishy things going on in the Bahamas 625 00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:25,319 Speaker 1: there with this Hooker story. Hooker's attorney, for what it's worth, 626 00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:29,440 Speaker 1: denies that they had any wrongdoing. All right, I want 627 00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:31,759 Speaker 1: to talk to you again about the cruise. We are 628 00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:35,920 Speaker 1: going on a cruise in November. It's taking place right 629 00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:39,799 Speaker 1: after the election. We've got let's see, who do we have. 630 00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,920 Speaker 1: We have Larry O'Connor from town Hall. That's going to 631 00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,719 Speaker 1: be great. Do you ever read town Hall, by the way, 632 00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:48,799 Speaker 1: is terrific. You should really if you don't visit town 633 00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:51,759 Speaker 1: Hall as a news source, visit it and read our 634 00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:54,400 Speaker 1: friend Larry O'Connor, watch his podcast. He's he's going to 635 00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:56,640 Speaker 1: be on the ship. This is called the euro Dam 636 00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:59,439 Speaker 1: by the way. So we've got that going on. We've 637 00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:02,160 Speaker 1: got my Gallagher, the legend here from Salem. He's going 638 00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:05,600 Speaker 1: to be there. I'm going to be there, and we're 639 00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:08,279 Speaker 1: going to cruise around in mid November. It's a week 640 00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:11,320 Speaker 1: and we're going to be in the Gulf of America. 641 00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:14,839 Speaker 1: We're celebrating America's two hundred and fiftieth anniversary. We're going 642 00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:16,759 Speaker 1: to talk about the issues of the day. I would 643 00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:19,080 Speaker 1: just point out this is going to be right after 644 00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:22,400 Speaker 1: the election. Right after the election, we're going to have 645 00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:26,160 Speaker 1: a ton of stuff to discuss the election results, what happened, 646 00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:29,240 Speaker 1: who won, who lost, who's in control, And I'm sure 647 00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:31,560 Speaker 1: we're going to be talking about what's coming up next, 648 00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:33,960 Speaker 1: which will be, of course, the run up in the 649 00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:37,120 Speaker 1: race to the twenty twenty eighth presidential election. 650 00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:40,600 Speaker 2: You can still book your cabin to be on this cruise. 651 00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:44,520 Speaker 2: By the way. The ship is great, but the destinations 652 00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:44,960 Speaker 2: are great. 653 00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:48,040 Speaker 1: We start, I guess in Fort Lauderdale and then we're 654 00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:51,520 Speaker 1: going to the Bahamas. We're going to Jamaica, We're going 655 00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:54,920 Speaker 1: to the Cayman Islands, We're going to Mexico, and then 656 00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:59,279 Speaker 1: we return to Fort Lauderdale. So it's a really good 657 00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:00,520 Speaker 1: it's like an eight deal. 658 00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:03,240 Speaker 2: It's amazing. Here's how you sign up for the cruise. 659 00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:06,799 Speaker 1: Text the word cruise to nine four eight seven eight, 660 00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:10,759 Speaker 1: or visit Scott Jennings Show dot com and click on 661 00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:14,319 Speaker 1: the Gulf of America cruise banner.

Even if he does take your money 668 00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:36,600 Speaker 1: in the gambling ring.

As it relates 685 00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:13,520 Speaker 1: to the Department of Homeland, Security funding fifty four days now, 686 00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:16,120 Speaker 1: DHS has technically been shut down. 687 00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:18,400 Speaker 2: This just end of the Scott Jennings Show. 688 00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:23,239 Speaker 1: Senator Barasso and Senator Lindsey Graham, senior members of the 689 00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:26,080 Speaker 1: House sorry of the Senate Republican Conference. They say they 690 00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:29,480 Speaker 1: are meeting with President Trump tomorrow at the White House 691 00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,880 Speaker 1: to discuss the next reconciliation bill. 692 00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:34,240 Speaker 2: So there's still this two. 693 00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:37,560 Speaker 1: Track plan to fund the Department of Homeland Security and 694 00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,600 Speaker 1: to get the Immigration Enforcement funded as well. Part of 695 00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:44,040 Speaker 1: that is called budget reconciliation. It's not as easy as 696 00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:46,520 Speaker 1: it sounds. They made it sound easy last summer with 697 00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:49,719 Speaker 1: a big, beautiful bill, but it's not as easy as 698 00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:52,360 Speaker 1: it sounds. We'll see what happens with that meeting. Barasso 699 00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:56,000 Speaker 1: and Graham to the White House tomorrow. The Justice Department 700 00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:59,759 Speaker 1: is opening an investigation into the NFL in order to 701 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:05,239 Speaker 1: hermann if the league has engaged in anti competitive behavior 702 00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:07,480 Speaker 1: that has harmed consumers. 703 00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:08,200 Speaker 2: Now. 704 00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:13,000 Speaker 1: Specifically, the claims here revolve around these television deals and 705 00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:17,160 Speaker 1: how the NFL licenses games out to multiple platforms at 706 00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:20,800 Speaker 1: the same time. This is a major development the Justice 707 00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:25,279 Speaker 1: Department looking into the NFL and how you watch professional 708 00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:29,560 Speaker 1: football on TV. The US government has also been revoking 709 00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:33,000 Speaker 1: the legal permanent residence status of the relatives of some 710 00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:37,560 Speaker 1: key Iranian regime figures, including the niece and grand niece 711 00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:41,960 Speaker 1: of deceased Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Major General Case of 712 00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:45,800 Speaker 1: Solomany and the daughter of former Secretary of the Supreme 713 00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:47,919 Speaker 1: National Security Council of. 714 00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:49,920 Speaker 2: Iran, Ali Lera Johanni. 715 00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:54,360 Speaker 1: Joining me to discuss this is Congressman Buddy Carter of Georgia. 716 00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:58,320 Speaker 2: He wrote this letter demanding the immediate removal. 717 00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:02,520 Speaker 1: Of doctor Fatima share Lara Johanni from her position at 718 00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:06,760 Speaker 1: Emory University and the revocation of her Georgia medical license, 719 00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:10,960 Speaker 1: citing the woman's father who has publicly advocated violence against 720 00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:15,600 Speaker 1: Americans and against US allies. Buddy is hair Congressman Carter 721 00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:18,880 Speaker 1: tell us about this letter, When did you learn about this? 722 00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:22,719 Speaker 1: How long had you known that this person was living 723 00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:23,320 Speaker 1: in Georgia. 724 00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:27,240 Speaker 13: Well, we had only known it for a couple of weeks, 725 00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:29,359 Speaker 13: and of course we needed to research it make sure 726 00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:31,320 Speaker 13: that we had all our facts right, and we did. 727 00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:34,680 Speaker 13: And after we did that, we were quick to send 728 00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:37,920 Speaker 13: off the letter and to communicate with Emory University. And 729 00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:41,960 Speaker 13: I might add kudos to Emory because they did they 730 00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,719 Speaker 13: did respond, and they did the right thing, and that 731 00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:48,600 Speaker 13: was very important and imported to us in Georgia because 732 00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:50,839 Speaker 13: Emory's got such a good reputation and they don't want 733 00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:54,480 Speaker 13: to be affiliated with anything like this, and they were 734 00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:57,240 Speaker 13: quick to go ahead and take action on it after 735 00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:01,120 Speaker 13: they researched it themselves. The Composite Medical Board of Georgia 736 00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:04,560 Speaker 13: as well, they took action and then she self deported. 737 00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:07,680 Speaker 13: But you know, we don't need somebody like this in 738 00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:11,680 Speaker 13: our country, certainly not at one of the leading medical facilities, 739 00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:14,560 Speaker 13: not only in the state but in the country, at 740 00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:18,480 Speaker 13: Emory University. So I'm glad the way it turned out. 741 00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:20,880 Speaker 13: It should have never happened, to be quite honest with you. 742 00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:23,799 Speaker 13: But you know, sometimes things fall through the cracks like that. 743 00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:26,160 Speaker 2: Well that's my next question. 744 00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:30,319 Speaker 1: I saw the reports of these relatives of some of 745 00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:34,120 Speaker 1: these Iranian regime figures, and they were living, you know, 746 00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:37,800 Speaker 1: in some cases, quite lavish lifestyles here in the United States. 747 00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:39,720 Speaker 2: Some of them had been here for several years. 748 00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:42,240 Speaker 1: I think the average person would look at this and say, 749 00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:44,480 Speaker 1: how did we let them in in the first place? 750 00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:46,360 Speaker 1: You know, what kind of visa were they on what 751 00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:49,719 Speaker 1: sort of process is there for letting in somebody like this? 752 00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:52,279 Speaker 1: Is there any vetting done on any of this at all? Now, 753 00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:55,759 Speaker 1: the Trump administration and thanks to you, taken action on 754 00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:58,879 Speaker 1: some of this, but it does beg the question how 755 00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:00,960 Speaker 1: did this happen and are we going to be able 756 00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:03,040 Speaker 1: to stop things like this from happening in the future. 757 00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:07,239 Speaker 13: Well, obviously, if there was a vetting process, it wasn't 758 00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:09,440 Speaker 13: a very good one, and we know that and it 759 00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:12,680 Speaker 13: needs to be improved upon, and certainly that's something that 760 00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:14,960 Speaker 13: we need to study. I mean, you know, for me, 761 00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:17,920 Speaker 13: want shame on me, for me twice, or for me 762 00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:20,000 Speaker 13: want shame on you for me twice, shame on me. 763 00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:22,160 Speaker 13: If we let it happen again and continue to let 764 00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:25,120 Speaker 13: this happen, then then we're at fault here. That's why 765 00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:27,360 Speaker 13: we need to do a better job of the vetting process. 766 00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:29,800 Speaker 13: And I think it's important to make the point Scott 767 00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:34,000 Speaker 13: that you know, for four years in the Biden Harris administration, 768 00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:37,879 Speaker 13: John also offered the Democrats supported open borders. We would 769 00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:40,799 Speaker 13: be naive to think that have those fifteen million people 770 00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:44,560 Speaker 13: who came across that border illegally during that time, that 771 00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:47,360 Speaker 13: there weren't some bad people that there weren't, some terrorists, 772 00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:51,719 Speaker 13: that there weren't some criminals, and there were. That's why 773 00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:54,319 Speaker 13: we've got and that's why ICE is doing their job 774 00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:56,880 Speaker 13: right now. They're trying to get rid of the criminal 775 00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:58,680 Speaker 13: illegal immigrants in our country. 776 00:43:59,000 --> 00:43:59,960 Speaker 8: I hear people. 777 00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:01,959 Speaker 13: Hollering all the time, Oh, what about the one who's 778 00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,839 Speaker 13: been here for twenty years working alongside us, And no, 779 00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:07,720 Speaker 13: that's not who we're talking about right now. We will 780 00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:10,400 Speaker 13: at some point, and they did break the law and 781 00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:13,319 Speaker 13: they need to suffer the consequences of that. But right 782 00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:17,719 Speaker 13: now we're concentrating on the illegal and the criminal illegal immigrants, 783 00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:21,480 Speaker 13: the ones who killed Lake and Riley, the ones who 784 00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:24,960 Speaker 13: killed the beloved teacher in my hometown of Savannah, Georgia, 785 00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:28,919 Speaker 13: doctor Linda Davis. And she was driving to work as 786 00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:33,839 Speaker 13: a special education school teacher and an illegal immigrant who 787 00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:36,759 Speaker 13: should have been deported two years ago crashed into her, 788 00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:40,200 Speaker 13: killing her instantly. And that's the kind of people that 789 00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:41,520 Speaker 13: we're looking for right now. 790 00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:44,200 Speaker 2: And this is the illegal immigration issue. 791 00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:46,840 Speaker 1: Congressman, I'm certain you're hearing about it as you travel 792 00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:48,880 Speaker 1: the state of Georgia. You're also, of course running for 793 00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:52,120 Speaker 1: the United States Senate, and you have to cast some votes, 794 00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:56,840 Speaker 1: probably beginning next week, about immigration enforcement funding. This DHS 795 00:44:56,880 --> 00:45:01,320 Speaker 1: shutdown continues, this two track plan, I guess, is still 796 00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:05,839 Speaker 1: moving forward. So the Senate has passed this bill to 797 00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:10,799 Speaker 1: get DHS reopened, but without funding for immigration enforcement. In fact, 798 00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:13,040 Speaker 1: there's a line in what the Senate did that says 799 00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:17,440 Speaker 1: zero dollars for immigration enforcement. I assume that is not 800 00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:20,520 Speaker 1: something that you'd be comfortable voting for as it is 801 00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:24,120 Speaker 1: currently written. Are you looking for changes to the Senate 802 00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:27,520 Speaker 1: DHS bill before you, as a House Republican could say 803 00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:28,000 Speaker 1: yes to that? 804 00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:31,960 Speaker 13: Absolutely, I'm looking for changes. I don't want to see 805 00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:35,360 Speaker 13: those zeros in there, and I'm not sure that I 806 00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:37,600 Speaker 13: can vote for that. I will tell you I think 807 00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:41,320 Speaker 13: the tract that we're on is okay. As you mentioned 808 00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:45,160 Speaker 13: about reconciliation, that is not an easy process. Now, we 809 00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:47,520 Speaker 13: did make it look easy when we did it with 810 00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:50,120 Speaker 13: the Working Family's Tax Cut AG, but I had to 811 00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:55,120 Speaker 13: tell you it's a laborious and very difficult process. You 812 00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:57,719 Speaker 13: got to have a budget resolution to begin with. You 813 00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:02,960 Speaker 13: got to offset any money that you're spending with cuts 814 00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:05,680 Speaker 13: in other areas. You've got to identify that you've got 815 00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:08,600 Speaker 13: to make sure your wordings correctly so that it passes 816 00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:11,520 Speaker 13: the bird bath, so that it doesn't get kicked out 817 00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:14,840 Speaker 13: by the parliamentarian in the Senate. All of those things, 818 00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:17,799 Speaker 13: and as I say, it's a very low borious process. Now, 819 00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:20,200 Speaker 13: we can do it, and we will do it if 820 00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:24,800 Speaker 13: we need to. But you put it together with the 821 00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:29,239 Speaker 13: funding bill that zero's out certain departments like Ice. I'm 822 00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:31,480 Speaker 13: not sure that's going to find the House. I know 823 00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:34,480 Speaker 13: I'm going to have a lot of heartburn when that 824 00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:35,080 Speaker 13: comes out. 825 00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:37,799 Speaker 1: Well, I think a lot of Republican voters would have 826 00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:38,560 Speaker 1: a lot of heartburn. 827 00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:40,360 Speaker 2: Let me close with this. We've got about a minute 828 00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:41,560 Speaker 2: to go here. Congress. 829 00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:44,080 Speaker 1: When you're out traveling the state, you're talking to Republicans. 830 00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:46,319 Speaker 1: How are they feeling right now? We're getting a lot 831 00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:49,319 Speaker 1: of news that some of the conservative podcasters are mad 832 00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:52,160 Speaker 1: at President Trump. The media is trying to say, you know, 833 00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:54,719 Speaker 1: Republicans are fractured. Are you picking that up out on 834 00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:57,879 Speaker 1: the campaign trail or is there still broad agreement that 835 00:46:57,960 --> 00:46:59,960 Speaker 1: Republicans trust the judgment of our president. 836 00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:04,840 Speaker 13: No, I think they're still broad agreement. You know, obviously, 837 00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:08,760 Speaker 13: people are upset about high gas prices, Obviously they're concerned 838 00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:11,839 Speaker 13: about what's going on in Iran. But the president's concerned too. 839 00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:14,760 Speaker 13: He doesn't want it forever war, he doesn't want boots 840 00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:17,480 Speaker 13: on the ground. But you have to applaud him for 841 00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:20,440 Speaker 13: what he's doing. He's addressing a situation that's been forty 842 00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:24,000 Speaker 13: seven years in the making, the leading state sponsor of terrorism. 843 00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:27,520 Speaker 13: Let's not forget that this regime has blood American blood 844 00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:29,759 Speaker 13: on their hands. We only have to look back as 845 00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:32,120 Speaker 13: far as the USS coal only have to look back 846 00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:35,560 Speaker 13: as far as October seventh in Israel. Yes, a thousand 847 00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:40,360 Speaker 13: Israelites were killed, but forty six Americans were killed as well.

Those are going to 908 00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:43,839 Speaker 5: be our demands during the negotiation, and again we're going 909 00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:46,200 Speaker 5: to see what the Iranians are willing to give up 910 00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:49,799 Speaker 5: if they make a good faith effort to actually give 911 00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:51,880 Speaker 5: us the things that we need to have a successful 912 00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:54,200 Speaker 5: negotiation to the security of the American people. 913 00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:55,879 Speaker 2: I think there's a lot on the other end. 914 00:50:56,120 --> 00:50:58,000 Speaker 5: If they don't give us what we need, then I 915 00:50:58,000 --> 00:50:58,520 Speaker 5: think it's. 916 00:50:58,360 --> 00:50:59,000 Speaker 2: Going to be bad. 917 00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:02,760 Speaker 5: But I'm optimistic that the Iranians are going to be smart, 918 00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:04,040 Speaker 5: that they're going to negotiate a. 919 00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:06,120 Speaker 2: Good faith all Right. 920 00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:08,960 Speaker 1: Vice President Vance showing some optimism as he prepares to 921 00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:13,960 Speaker 1: head to Pakistan. Let's hear from Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman today. 922 00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:19,400 Speaker 1: You know, still probably the most level headed Democrat I 923 00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:21,800 Speaker 1: was going to say in Washington, but probably in America. 924 00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:25,000 Speaker 1: He is going after his own party again. They've been 925 00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:27,920 Speaker 1: highly irresponsible in their rhetoric when it comes to Iran 926 00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:31,720 Speaker 1: and invoking the twenty fifth Amendment against President Trump. 927 00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:33,640 Speaker 2: Listen to Fetterman here cut number two. 928 00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:37,000 Speaker 14: If you make these kinds of let's let's go for 929 00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:40,160 Speaker 14: the twenty fifth Amendment and then you know, then we 930 00:51:40,239 --> 00:51:42,560 Speaker 14: have we have a ceased fire, then it's. 931 00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:44,680 Speaker 8: Like taco taco taco. 932 00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:47,480 Speaker 14: I mean, I mean, you know, like you can't have 933 00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:48,320 Speaker 14: it both ways. 934 00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:52,160 Speaker 2: I mean, so where we are, it's like strange to be. 935 00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:56,560 Speaker 14: Gleeful, gleeful that you know that we still have to 936 00:51:56,560 --> 00:52:00,120 Speaker 14: accomplish some things and make these kinds of statements. I mean, 937 00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:02,480 Speaker 14: you know, I'm old enough to remember we used to 938 00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:06,120 Speaker 14: root for our military and we would all agree that 939 00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:10,440 Speaker 14: Iran is the world's leading terrorism underwriter. 940 00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:15,040 Speaker 1: Fetterman is the most common sense Democrat in America. And 941 00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:18,239 Speaker 1: for that, for being a common sense Democrat, what do 942 00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:21,880 Speaker 1: you get your approval ratings in your home state among 943 00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:27,160 Speaker 1: these crazy radical democrats plummets. Republicans know he's common sense, 944 00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:30,120 Speaker 1: They appreciate him independence. I think like John Fetterman, but 945 00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:35,880 Speaker 1: these radicalized Democrats and his base numbers are terrible because 946 00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:37,360 Speaker 1: he says what's true. 947 00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:38,879 Speaker 2: He says common sense things. 948 00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:42,080 Speaker 1: That's say you get treated the Democrat Party one other story, 949 00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:43,640 Speaker 1: and I have to tell you this is one of 950 00:52:43,719 --> 00:52:47,520 Speaker 1: those things that makes you ask what took so long? 951 00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:52,080 Speaker 1: The Trump administration is killing one of the most annoying, 952 00:52:53,000 --> 00:53:00,480 Speaker 1: intrusive government mandates ever forced on American drivers. You can 953 00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:04,000 Speaker 1: thank the Obama error regulators for shoving it down your 954 00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:07,840 Speaker 1: throat in the first place. What we're talking about here 955 00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:12,400 Speaker 1: is the automatic start and stop feature on your car. 956 00:53:12,520 --> 00:53:16,360 Speaker 1: So every time you stop it a light, your engine 957 00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:19,480 Speaker 1: shuts off and it gives you a panic attack. Did 958 00:53:19,480 --> 00:53:23,400 Speaker 1: my car just die? They've been putting this in cars 959 00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:26,440 Speaker 1: for years. Nobody ever asked for this, Nobody likes it, 960 00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:30,239 Speaker 1: nobody wanted it, but these but Obama and all the 961 00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:35,239 Speaker 1: Obama climate cult people. They thought they knew better, and 962 00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:38,600 Speaker 1: they put it in the cars. They thought they knew 963 00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:41,680 Speaker 1: better than the mechanics. By the way, now here's the kicker. 964 00:53:41,719 --> 00:53:45,160 Speaker 1: The justification was always about, oh, this is going to 965 00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:48,919 Speaker 1: help the environment, it'll reduce emissions. Here's what they never 966 00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:53,040 Speaker 1: told you. More wear and tear on your car, more 967 00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:59,560 Speaker 1: expensive batteries, more starter failures, and the driving experience. I mean, 968 00:53:59,560 --> 00:54:01,279 Speaker 1: it would be as hard to measure this, but the 969 00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:06,640 Speaker 1: amount of anxiety foisted upon American drivers because of this 970 00:54:07,560 --> 00:54:13,600 Speaker 1: automatic start stop terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible, and in a 971 00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:17,759 Speaker 1: victory for the common sense agenda President Trump and his 972 00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:21,279 Speaker 1: administration under the leadership in this case of EPA administrator 973 00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:26,080 Speaker 1: Lee Zelden, who continues to impress they are getting rid 974 00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:28,800 Speaker 1: of the automatic start stop. Thank goodness. You know I 975 00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:32,239 Speaker 1: don't have it on any of my cars. I have 976 00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:34,280 Speaker 1: an older truck. I think I guess it came before 977 00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:37,400 Speaker 1: it went in. Every time I rent a car and 978 00:54:37,440 --> 00:54:40,400 Speaker 1: I have this, I just I want to drive it 979 00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:44,400 Speaker 1: off into the nearest large body of water. Terrible, but 980 00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:47,239 Speaker 1: again a victory for common sense. Donald Trump and Lee 981 00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:51,960 Speaker 1: Zelden killing off the automatic start stop just I mean, 982 00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:54,960 Speaker 1: one of those little nagging things, and here they are 983 00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:57,239 Speaker 1: taking care of it. I think the American people will 984 00:54:57,640 --> 00:54:59,719 Speaker 1: sincerely appreciate it. We're going to take a break when 985 00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:02,560 Speaker 1: we come come back.

I mean, 1330 01:10:31,479 --> 01:10:33,880 Speaker 1: she has squandered all this capital. She got like fifty 1331 01:10:33,880 --> 01:10:35,559 Speaker 1: seven percent of the vote. She's down in the mid 1332 01:10:35,640 --> 01:10:39,080 Speaker 1: forties on her job approval. Now, people don't like bait 1333 01:10:39,120 --> 01:10:41,760 Speaker 1: and switch, so to say what she said is not 1334 01:10:41,800 --> 01:10:44,360 Speaker 1: really the flex that she thinks it is. Anyway, all 1335 01:10:44,439 --> 01:10:48,080 Speaker 1: this is happening while migrant crime is going nuts in 1336 01:10:48,120 --> 01:10:50,960 Speaker 1: Fairfax County. This is one of the state's most populated 1337 01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:54,639 Speaker 1: areas in northern Virginia, and it is a problem that's 1338 01:10:54,640 --> 01:10:59,520 Speaker 1: only increasing because the Spamburger administration is refusing to cooperate 1339 01:10:59,560 --> 01:11:04,639 Speaker 1: with ICE to remove violent illegal aliens from Virginia. Seventy 1340 01:11:04,680 --> 01:11:07,719 Speaker 1: five percent of the murders in Fairfax County this year 1341 01:11:08,360 --> 01:11:11,839 Speaker 1: have been committed by illegal aliens. Listen to how Governor 1342 01:11:11,840 --> 01:11:15,639 Speaker 1: Spamberger responded when she was finally pressed on this by 1343 01:11:15,640 --> 01:11:16,400 Speaker 1: someone in the media. 1344 01:11:16,439 --> 01:11:17,280 Speaker 2: Cut number thirty. 1345 01:11:18,160 --> 01:11:20,920 Speaker 12: He says, three out of very four people arrested in 1346 01:11:20,960 --> 01:11:22,800 Speaker 12: fairbex County are legal aliens. 1347 01:11:23,120 --> 01:11:24,000 Speaker 2: They're asking you to. 1348 01:11:23,960 --> 01:11:30,360 Speaker 12: Discontinue Century city policies. Any comment along those lines, Governor, Governor, 1349 01:11:30,400 --> 01:11:32,120 Speaker 12: any comment on the DHS request. 1350 01:11:33,640 --> 01:11:35,639 Speaker 1: Well, I said she was going to respond. It turns 1351 01:11:35,640 --> 01:11:37,880 Speaker 1: out she just walked right past it and walked away. 1352 01:11:37,960 --> 01:11:41,240 Speaker 1: There is no response. I mean, the democratic response is, yeah, 1353 01:11:41,439 --> 01:11:44,879 Speaker 1: we care more about hurting the feelings of illegal aliens 1354 01:11:44,880 --> 01:11:47,720 Speaker 1: than we care about protecting the American citizens that they 1355 01:11:47,760 --> 01:11:51,719 Speaker 1: are violently attacking and murdering and committing crimes against. 1356 01:11:52,000 --> 01:11:54,040 Speaker 2: And here's one more thing going on in Virginia. 1357 01:11:54,040 --> 01:11:57,120 Speaker 1: There's a new report in the Washington Free Beacon showing 1358 01:11:57,120 --> 01:12:01,599 Speaker 1: that span Berger is taking credit for seven point one 1359 01:12:01,920 --> 01:12:04,679 Speaker 1: billion dollars in business investment in the state. 1360 01:12:05,360 --> 01:12:06,520 Speaker 2: Here is the problem. 1361 01:12:07,040 --> 01:12:11,080 Speaker 1: All of the investment on the governor's list was actually 1362 01:12:11,160 --> 01:12:16,400 Speaker 1: secured under Republican Governor Glenn Younkin. They put out this 1363 01:12:16,720 --> 01:12:22,520 Speaker 1: long list of job projects, every single one of them. 1364 01:12:22,840 --> 01:12:26,160 Speaker 1: It was Glenn Younkin, the previous governor that got it. 1365 01:12:26,240 --> 01:12:29,320 Speaker 1: So right, now, Spamburger, let's see, she got the lowest 1366 01:12:29,320 --> 01:12:33,639 Speaker 1: approvals at this point in her gubernatorial tenure of any 1367 01:12:33,880 --> 01:12:38,479 Speaker 1: governor of Virginia in history. She's dodging questions about illegal 1368 01:12:38,479 --> 01:12:41,720 Speaker 1: aliens committing murders in her state. She's blaming it on 1369 01:12:41,800 --> 01:12:46,160 Speaker 1: everyone else. It's getting bad, politically bad. We'll see what happens. 1370 01:12:46,160 --> 01:12:49,200 Speaker 1: By the way, in the redistricting referendum, I don't know 1371 01:12:49,240 --> 01:12:51,360 Speaker 1: what's gonna act. And I was thinking, well, they spend 1372 01:12:51,400 --> 01:12:53,599 Speaker 1: all this money and they've lied to the people over there. 1373 01:12:54,320 --> 01:12:57,479 Speaker 2: We'll see if it passes. I don't know. It's getting bad. 1374 01:12:57,520 --> 01:12:58,760 Speaker 2: Here's cutting number thirty one. 1375 01:12:58,880 --> 01:13:01,080 Speaker 1: Listen to this Spamburger trying to throw out the first 1376 01:13:01,080 --> 01:13:21,760 Speaker 1: pitch at a baseball game. A lot of booing and 1377 01:13:21,800 --> 01:13:24,040 Speaker 1: if you can see it on the Salem News Channel. 1378 01:13:24,320 --> 01:13:28,599 Speaker 1: The pitch was terrible and that about summarizes it. Booed 1379 01:13:28,640 --> 01:13:32,080 Speaker 1: by the people and throwing it in the dirt. Virginians 1380 01:13:32,120 --> 01:13:35,920 Speaker 1: have noticed all of this. They have a real case 1381 01:13:36,000 --> 01:13:40,640 Speaker 1: of buyer's remorse over in Virginia on Abigail Spamburger. Well, 1382 01:13:40,640 --> 01:13:42,759 Speaker 1: that's going to wrap up our show for the News today. 1383 01:13:42,800 --> 01:13:45,320 Speaker 1: Before we go away, I did want to put in 1384 01:13:45,360 --> 01:13:46,559 Speaker 1: another pitch for the cruise. 1385 01:13:46,680 --> 01:13:47,200 Speaker 11: The cruise. 1386 01:13:47,520 --> 01:13:50,360 Speaker 1: The cruise coming up in November, Gulf of America cruise. 1387 01:13:51,120 --> 01:13:54,519 Speaker 1: We're gonna get on the Eurodam. It's a Holland America cruise. 1388 01:13:55,760 --> 01:13:57,920 Speaker 1: If you've never been on a Holland America ship.
