On this day, seventeen 16 00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 3: fifty two, Benjamin Frank, one of our nations founding fathers, 17 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:07,760 Speaker 3: flew a kite during a thunderstorm, collecting ambient electrical charge 18 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 3: into a Leyden jar and proving the connection between lightning 19 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,120 Speaker 3: and electricity. And he also gave rise to the phrase 20 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 3: catching lightning in a bottle. 21 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 4: As for today's news. 22 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 3: Democrats think they've got lightning in a bottle in Maine, 23 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 3: but they may be in for a shock come November. 24 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 3: Grand Platner, the fake oyster farmer with a Nazi tattoo, 25 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 3: the self described communist, emerged from the formality of the 26 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,959 Speaker 3: Democratic Party primary last night and is now slated to 27 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 3: take on incumbent Republican Senator Susan Collins. Let's hear from 28 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 3: Platner and my reaction to his speech, all of it 29 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 3: last night on CNN Cut twelve. 30 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 5: They keep looking for that one story, that one headline, 31 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 5: that one moment in my life that they can define 32 00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 5: the campaign by. But in trying so hard to understand me, 33 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 5: they failed to understand that this is not about me 34 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 5: at all. 35 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 2: Because when you're as damaged as this guy, I guess 36 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,800 Speaker 2: I would also say it's not really about me, because 37 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,639 Speaker 2: if it's about him, they're in real trouble. It's sort 38 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 2: of makes me laugh. They're looking for one story. They 39 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 2: were looking for one, and they found like twenty. But 40 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 2: let's just start with the tattoo. Democrats have spent ten 41 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,360 Speaker 2: years here and everywhere else calling every Republican from Donald 42 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,119 Speaker 2: Trump on down a Nazi, a Nazi sympathizer, and a fascist, 43 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 2: And tonight the Democratic Party sent a message, you know what, 44 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 2: Nazi tattoo perfectly fine with us. That is what they 45 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 2: are now saddled with. The campaign is about him. There 46 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 2: is not one story. 47 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 3: There is a troubling list of behavioral issues on this guy. 48 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 1: His entire narrative is a lie. They're not going to 49 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 1: be able to take the focus on it. On the 50 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 1: tattoo though. 51 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 6: The difference he and Donald Trump. 52 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: Is is that he hasn't actually a Trump doesn't. 53 00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 7: But I think the problem that he had, I think 54 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 7: it's why a lot of women behind him tonight. 55 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: The problem was. 56 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 2: I think they were behind of that. 57 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 3: Platner has a long list of problems. He's been credibly 58 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 3: accused of abusing women. He says he masturbates in public 59 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 3: porta potties. He denigrates American military veterans. He says he 60 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 3: wants to rate men to show them that he is 61 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 3: dominant over them. This guy is a mad libs of 62 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 3: troubling behavior. And while Platner speaks often of his redemption, 63 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 3: he also said this today on MSNBC Cut eleven. 64 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 2: I say there's nothing out there that could be concerning. 65 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 1: And this may seem a little bit rich. 66 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 5: Clear there's there's nothing out there that's actually concerning. People 67 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 5: will make everything seem very concerning because that's one of 68 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 5: people in politics. 69 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 3: If Platner isn't troubled by any of his own behavior, 70 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 3: it makes you wonder what would he have to do, dude, 71 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 3: to finally look in the. 72 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 4: Mirror and say, whoa buddy? Rein it in? 73 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 3: But Democrats appear to be all in on the oyster 74 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 3: groping fure, looking past his Nazi tattoo and his treatment 75 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 3: of women, despite their years long attacks on Republicans as 76 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 3: Nazis who hate women. Somewhere, Eric Swalwell and al Franken 77 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 3: are on a text chain exchanging wtfs with each other. 78 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,359 Speaker 3: It's important to remember that there are things we know 79 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,840 Speaker 3: about Platiner today, and there are things we are likely 80 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 3: to know in the days and weeks ahead. I get 81 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 3: the feeling, just a hunch that despite mister Platner's belief 82 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 3: that he is as clean as a whistle, people of 83 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 3: Maine will not be of the same opinion before the 84 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 3: end of this campaign. Even still, could Platner win, of course, 85 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 3: Democrats will pull out all the stops for him, marching 86 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 3: down off of any moral high ground they ever held 87 00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 3: in the pursuit of political power and radical agenda. Elsewhere 88 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 3: in politics, South Carolina held a primary last night. 89 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 4: Let's start with governor. 90 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 3: Republican sent Lieutenant Governor Pamela Yvette and Attorney General Alan 91 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 3: Wilson onto a runoff in a couple of weeks. Eliminated 92 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 3: there Nancy Mace and Ralph Norman, two members of Congress 93 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,480 Speaker 3: who will be out of politics at the end of 94 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 3: this year. And in the South Carolina Senate primary, Lindsey Graham, 95 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,600 Speaker 3: the incumbent, did win the GOP nomination. He had Trump's backing, 96 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 3: but he faced a strong challenge cut fifteen. 97 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 4: So everybody in America cares about conservative judges. 98 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: Donald Trump and Lendsey Graham are going to deliver for 99 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 1: you in twenty seven. At twenty eight, big time. 100 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,479 Speaker 3: Next round of primaries coming up on Tuesday. We'll see 101 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:52,600 Speaker 3: runoffs in Alabama and Georgia. Plus we have races in Oklahoma. Overseas, 102 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 3: feels like the ceasefire in Iran has ceased to exist. 103 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 3: Iran used a drone to take down a US of 104 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,919 Speaker 3: past actually helicopter, and last night the president retaliated with 105 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 3: several hours of air strikes. This morning, in the Oval Office, 106 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 3: the President was asked about the renewed hostilities. Cut seventeen. 107 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 4: Am. 108 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 6: They didn't shoot long, gets revealed. I want I sure 109 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 6: you correctly. 110 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 8: You said that now it will have to pay the price. 111 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,039 Speaker 1: Why, well, we're going to be attacking. 112 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 9: Then we're attacking them very hard. 113 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, if we are based on the helicopter, I 114 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: guess we have to be right to do. 115 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,479 Speaker 3: Also this morning, the President has posted on truth social 116 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,559 Speaker 3: that Iran has waited too long to make a deal 117 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,599 Speaker 3: and we'll now pay the price. Here's more of the 118 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 3: president and Cut eighteen. 119 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 10: We hit them hard yesterday and we're going to hit 120 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:45,480 Speaker 10: them again hard today. 121 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 11: In case you had misification, you don't turn on your television, said, 122 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 11: and we'll see what happens with the deal. 123 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 2: We're really close to a deal, but they keep tapping 124 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 2: us a long, they keep playing us to suckers. 125 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 3: With the resumption of hostilities, Iran has lashed out at 126 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 3: its neighbors, attacking US installations in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait. 127 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 3: Bahrain says it intercepted several drones markets today down a bit, 128 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 3: and oil trading between ninety and ninety one dollars a 129 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 3: barrel up a bit on this news. More to come 130 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,559 Speaker 3: on Iran throughout the show. President was in the Oval 131 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 3: Office this morning to sign the immigration funding bill into law. 132 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:29,239 Speaker 3: It finally passed the House yesterday, so that's seventy billion 133 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 3: dollars for ice and border patrol. Essentially, what they have 134 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 3: done here is protect border enforcement from Democrats at least 135 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 3: for the rest of Trump's term in office. And the 136 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 3: President is also dealing with Congress on extending FAISA. That 137 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 3: is the surveillance law that we use to spy on 138 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 3: terrorists overseas. It expires on Friday and there is no 139 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 3: deal to renew it yet. Trump now says he wants 140 00:07:56,080 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 3: Congress to pass a short term FISA extension. Seeker Mike 141 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,119 Speaker 3: Johnson went over to the White House this morning along 142 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 3: with some other congressional leaders to discuss all this with 143 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 3: the President. We'll keep an eye on this today, but 144 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 3: I can tell you it would be a disaster for 145 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 3: our country if FAISA goes dark on Friday. We would 146 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 3: take our eyes off the very people who wish us 147 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 3: the most harm. 148 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 4: Social Security news in just six years. 149 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 3: You, if you're on Social Security, could be facing massive 150 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 3: benefit cuts if Congress doesn't reform the system. That's according 151 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 3: to a new report by the Social Security Trustees. Social 152 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 3: Securities Retirement Trust Fund is expected to be exhausted in 153 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 3: late twenty thirty two. That is one quarter earlier than 154 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:49,839 Speaker 3: previously forecast. At that time, payroll tax revenue and other 155 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 3: income sources, we'll be able to cover only seventy eight 156 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 3: percent of the benefits that are owed. Not good news 157 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,560 Speaker 3: for Social Security. Without some refores coming in from Congress, 158 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,080 Speaker 3: we have a great show for you today. Janat Andsaiah 159 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:09,079 Speaker 3: from the Foundation for Defense of Democracies is coming by 160 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 3: to discuss all this breaking news on Iran. We have 161 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,959 Speaker 3: two members of Congress here today, Pat Harrigan of North Carolina, 162 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:20,200 Speaker 3: former Green Beret. We'll get his thoughts on national security issues, 163 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 3: among other things. And also Representative Bill Heizinga of Michigan. 164 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 3: He's in one of the most targeted races in the country. 165 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,319 Speaker 3: It's common sense for the American people. I'm Scott Jennings 166 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 3: here on Salem. Let me tell you about a couple 167 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 3: of things. Three actually life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. 168 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 3: Now you've heard those words, but they weren't just written 169 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 3: for the history books. They were written specifically for you. 170 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 3: But it is hard to pursue happiness when pain is 171 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 3: part of everyday life. And that's why relief Factor was 172 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 3: created to help people address pain.

He's here with us. It's the Scott 217 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:20,679 Speaker 1: Jettings Show. 218 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 4: All right. 219 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 3: Early this morning, the President issued a truth social about 220 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 3: the ongoing conflict in Iran. Quote the President here, they 221 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,080 Speaker 3: have taken too long to negotiate a deal that would 222 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 3: have been great for them, and now they will have 223 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,680 Speaker 3: to pay the price. And earlier in the Oval Office, 224 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,560 Speaker 3: the President doubled down on it and says that the 225 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 3: United States has the right to retaliate against Iran over 226 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:50,719 Speaker 3: them attacking our Apache helicopter. It would appear that the ceasefire, 227 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,680 Speaker 3: if you can still call it, that is hanging by 228 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,320 Speaker 3: a thread. To discuss what's going on with Iran and 229 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 3: where we may be headed, please welcome into the Scott 230 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 3: Jetting Show from the found for Defensive Democracies research analyst 231 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 3: Jonathan Saiah. Jonathan, you've seen the news, You've seen the 232 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 3: President in the Oval, and you've read his words. Where 233 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 3: are we here? And by the way, what does proportional 234 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:16,319 Speaker 3: response mean to you, I'd like to discuss that term. 235 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 11: So here we're in this state of back and forth 236 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,200 Speaker 11: as we have been with the Islamic Republic. 237 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 9: But this new wave of escalation is different. 238 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,679 Speaker 11: From the previous rounds from the regime because they're further 239 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:28,200 Speaker 11: in bolden. 240 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 9: And the key term here is when the attack Israel 241 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:32,439 Speaker 9: a couple of days ago, that. 242 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 11: Was the first time the regime preemptively attacked Israel. That's 243 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,200 Speaker 11: a fundamental change in the national security doctrine. Now, the 244 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 11: appropriate response to that would have to go beyond just 245 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:43,720 Speaker 11: a tit for tat. 246 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:45,560 Speaker 9: What we've seen so far is that. 247 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 11: Israelis or the Americans to an extent, I take out 248 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,679 Speaker 11: listen an air defense. But what the President has suggested, 249 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 11: and what the retaliation from the United States and Israel suggests, 250 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 11: is that the new wave looks like it's going after 251 00:13:58,960 --> 00:13:59,960 Speaker 11: the energy. 252 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 9: Infant structure of the regime. 253 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 11: That a force serves to further legitimize that their military assets. 254 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 8: Anything in you one. 255 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,839 Speaker 11: Has due use, some part is energy, on the other 256 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 11: part is simply for missile fuels. 257 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 4: Here's my question. We're dealing with the Iranians here. 258 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 3: We've had the presidents say numerous times he thought we 259 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 3: were on the brink of a deal. You've had the 260 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 3: Vice president express public optimism about a deal possibly coming 261 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 3: to pass. 262 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 4: Then they attack our Apache helicopter. 263 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 3: Of course, they've also been attacking Israel that you know, 264 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 3: they haven't really ceased firing. In my estimation, the president 265 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 3: has shown some amount of restraints, so now he says 266 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 3: we're going to hit him hard again. Today you mentioned 267 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 3: energy infrastructure. I guess maybe we went after some drinking water. 268 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 4: Facilities as well. 269 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,920 Speaker 3: The blockade of the United States is still out there, 270 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 3: and we are draining their economy of hundreds of millions 271 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 3: of dollars every day. I mean, we are punishing these 272 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 3: people economically, we're about to be punishing them militarily. Here's 273 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 3: my question, how much punishment can they absorb? 274 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 4: How much punishment are they willing. 275 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 3: To pass on to the people of Iran to try 276 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 3: to hold out against Donald Trump? He or do you 277 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 3: feel like that the Iranians are even close to the 278 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 3: brink of crying uncle? Or is it going to take 279 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 3: a while to get them to that point. 280 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 9: Simply look at the retaliation they've had. It is simply 281 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 9: a response to the blockade. 282 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 11: Of course that you can nominate situation you on is 283 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 11: at national security concern as you noted. 284 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 9: So the key term here is not necessarily inflation. It's 285 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 9: not just to see a collapse of economy. 286 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 11: It's depriving regime officials of cash flow to the point 287 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 11: that they cannot funder their own apparatus. And that's how 288 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 11: you can supplement the maximum pressure campaign against the regime 289 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 11: with maximum fractures, ensuring that once you see there's a 290 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 11: rift amongst regime officials, because a lot of these guys 291 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 11: are ideologically devoted, but the other half are there for 292 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 11: the financial incentives. 293 00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 9: So once you can do to exploit that. 294 00:15:58,280 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 11: Rift is when we're going to see some sort of 295 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 11: a decision making chaos amongst the regime macritus. 296 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 10: And the question there is can we get regime change 297 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 10: or behavior change from the regime or do you have 298 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 10: to get some sort of a transition of power systemically 299 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 10: into that home. 300 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 3: Do you think that there are still diplomatic talks going 301 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 3: on at this moment, you know, they've obviously been engaged 302 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 3: in hostilities. By the way, I have to say that, 303 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 3: you know they're proxy attacks on northern Israel out of Lebanon, 304 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 3: you cannot expect Israel to just sit back and absorb that. So, 305 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 3: you know, Iran keeping up that front in the war 306 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 3: to me tells me a lot about where they are 307 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 3: on all this. But do you think that we have 308 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 3: diplomatic chats going on right now or do you think 309 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 3: that sort of stuff gets put on hold? You know, 310 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,800 Speaker 3: when you're basically in the midst of ordering, you know 311 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 3: what will amount the massive air strikes at least for 312 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 3: the next day or two. 313 00:16:57,880 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 9: Communication is always ongoing. 314 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 11: It's a matter of whether the other side is negotiating 315 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,440 Speaker 11: in good faith or whether they're trying to drag out 316 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 11: to somehow recalculate how they're going to respond to this blockade. 317 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 11: And of course the intense military strikes that they're suffering 318 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 11: simply because we're talking does not prevent us from attacking. 319 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:17,959 Speaker 9: And that has been a key Trump doctrine. 320 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,200 Speaker 11: Now going back to Lebanon, which is important that he 321 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,879 Speaker 11: laid out, if we were to show restraint, and if 322 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,120 Speaker 11: we were to prevent Israel from responding to his Rollo aggression, 323 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 11: you would be solidifying the regime's control across the Middle East, 324 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 11: and that's key there. You cannot allow them to negotiate 325 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 11: over such factors, which is why it's important that the 326 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,160 Speaker 11: response in this case is proportional that actually goes after 327 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,120 Speaker 11: something that hurts, which is their economy. 328 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,200 Speaker 4: YEA, yeah, I'm with you. 329 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,439 Speaker 3: We cannot allow these ongoing attacks, but that has to 330 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 3: go away. However this ends, that has to stop in 331 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:53,200 Speaker 3: Israel needs it to stop.

All right, 376 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 3: Joining the show now. Army Green Beret and Congressman from 377 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:32,120 Speaker 3: the great state of North Carolina, Pat Harrigan is here. 378 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 3: Last week, Congressman, welcome to the show. The House Armed 379 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 3: Services Committee approve the twenty twenty seven National Defense Authorization Act. 380 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 3: This is the critical funding package that funds our military, 381 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 3: national defense, and numerous other parts of our national security situation. 382 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,640 Speaker 3: The Senate Armed Services Committee is marking it up as 383 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,639 Speaker 3: we speak. The full bill will be considered in July, 384 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:59,000 Speaker 3: before the fourth of July recess. I know you're working 385 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 3: hard on this, and this is passion of yours. Tell 386 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 3: us about the NDAA. What do we need to know 387 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 3: about it for this time around? 388 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 13: Well, Scott, hey, thanks for having me. Look the National 389 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 13: Defense Authorization Act. That's how we fund our nation's military, 390 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,720 Speaker 13: and that's how we get President Trump's priority of peace 391 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:20,440 Speaker 13: through strength actually accomplished by rebuilding our military. I think 392 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:24,119 Speaker 13: that most people probably don't know that we've never spent 393 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 13: less on defense as a percentage of our GDP as 394 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 13: a nation since World War Two. I think most people 395 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:34,160 Speaker 13: do know. Simultaneously, we're almost forty trillion dollars in debt, 396 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:37,399 Speaker 13: and so we're in this kind of historic fiscal squeeze 397 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:41,440 Speaker 13: where the world's on fire. We have very real threats 398 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 13: around the world that the President and the legislative branch 399 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 13: are working together to try to tamp down. But we 400 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:52,680 Speaker 13: have to spend more on defense in order to actually 401 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 13: rebuild the credible deterrent capability this great nation once had. 402 00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 13: We are doing that, we are making those strategic investments. 403 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 13: But this is an absolutely critical time for the future 404 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 13: of America's military. 405 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:09,919 Speaker 3: So we've got your version in the House Armed Services Committee, 406 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,679 Speaker 3: and the Senate's doing their work and their committee. Are 407 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 3: there significant differences right now between the chambers, or do 408 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 3: you feel like even if there are differences, they're resolvable 409 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:19,399 Speaker 3: by the summer. 410 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,639 Speaker 13: I think that the differences are resolvable. I think that 411 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,119 Speaker 13: one of the great things about both the House and 412 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 13: the Senate Armed Services Committee is that they actually do 413 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 13: a lot of work together. We don't see everything the 414 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 13: same way, but I think we do see the important 415 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:39,240 Speaker 13: things clearly, and we have the same vision about where 416 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:43,119 Speaker 13: we need to go as a country. That is also 417 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:47,440 Speaker 13: an extension out to my Democratic colleagues. Although we certainly 418 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 13: don't share the same values all the time, certainly don't 419 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 13: share the same perspectives. I think that defense is one 420 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:58,639 Speaker 13: place where everybody can come together to put the country 421 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,640 Speaker 13: over the party. More more often than not, that does 422 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 13: happen on the Armed Services Committee. So I think we'll 423 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:08,919 Speaker 13: get a good result out of the conference process that 424 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:13,360 Speaker 13: will ultimately entail when these when this bill passes both chambers. 425 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 3: And you believe you ultimately bipartisan support, you'll get it 426 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:19,199 Speaker 3: on the floor. 427 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 4: Yeah. 428 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 6: I think so. 429 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 13: For the base text, now supplemental reconciliation, those are totally 430 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 13: different stories. But for the base text itself, I think 431 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 13: that there's alignment. 432 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 3: There was one amendment that caught my attention that was 433 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,159 Speaker 3: actually a Democrat I think who introduced it, but you 434 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 3: supported it, and it would allow the military to repair 435 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:43,160 Speaker 3: its own equipment. 436 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,119 Speaker 4: To call it right to repair. Tell us about that. 437 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 4: Why is that important? 438 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 13: Well, this is something that you probably couldn't put together 439 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 13: four more different members of Congress between the House and 440 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 13: the Senate. But it's Tim Sheeh is a former Navy seal, 441 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:04,440 Speaker 13: myself Green Beret, Elizabeth Warren in the Senate, and Maggie Goodlander. 442 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 13: We are working together to get right to repair across 443 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 13: the finish line, and we were able to do that 444 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,440 Speaker 13: in the House. What right to repair is as it says, Look, 445 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,919 Speaker 13: if the military has purchased the equipment, it has to 446 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:20,640 Speaker 13: have the ability to sustain and maintain that equipment, even 447 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:25,159 Speaker 13: if the contractor fails in their obligations to sustain that 448 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 13: equipment for the original contracts. We have in many instances 449 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 13: up to forty percent of our military hardware that is 450 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:37,679 Speaker 13: actually not usable due to flawed sustainment contracts that the 451 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 13: Pentagon just can no longer enter into. And so what 452 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 13: right to repair really does is it changes the contracting structures, 453 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:49,640 Speaker 13: and it says look, private sector guys, we love you. 454 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,200 Speaker 13: You're the backbone of everything that we do in the military, 455 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,440 Speaker 13: but you're no longer going to take advantage of the 456 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:58,359 Speaker 13: US military when it comes to sustainment contracts that don't 457 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 13: allow the military to actually pair of the equipment that 458 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,480 Speaker 13: it has purchased from you, particularly when you fail in 459 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 13: maintaining that equipment for the contractual standard that you're obligated to. 460 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:12,639 Speaker 13: This is actually something that should save the Pentagon tens 461 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,359 Speaker 13: of billions of dollars over the next ten years and 462 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:19,159 Speaker 13: is something that should and certainly does have bipartisan support on. 463 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 3: See, just when you think that bipartisanship is dead in Washington, 464 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:25,960 Speaker 3: Pat Harrigan from North Carolina comes along to give us 465 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 3: a little feel good story about it. I mean, those 466 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 3: are those are very different members, but it's you know, 467 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 3: it's I think for the average American, these are not 468 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:35,160 Speaker 3: the kinds of things that are on the front page 469 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,240 Speaker 3: of the New York Times, and they're not being covered, 470 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 3: you know, on the cable news networks. But it's good 471 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,280 Speaker 3: to hear from you that you have Democrats and Republicans 472 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 3: working together on key military issues saving tax payer money. 473 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,800 Speaker 3: It's I mean, it's a it's a good thing. And 474 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,160 Speaker 3: you know, I know you're a freshman member of the House, 475 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:52,919 Speaker 3: and I'd love to hear about how your experience has 476 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 3: gone so far. But is this one of the most 477 00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 3: frustrating things for you about being in Congress? You know 478 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,800 Speaker 3: that there are sort of my partisan conversations going on. 479 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,159 Speaker 3: You know that there's a little bit more collegiality and 480 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 3: cooperation up there than maybe covered. Does it frustrate you 481 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 3: that this is not the kind of stuff that gets 482 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 3: most of the attention in Washington when it comes to 483 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 3: policy making. 484 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 13: You know, I think that there's always room to work 485 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 13: with the other side when you can get to a 486 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:23,200 Speaker 13: place of principled compromise. 487 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 6: I think what far often. 488 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:28,240 Speaker 13: We see today, scott As, we see compromise devoid of principle, 489 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:32,200 Speaker 13: and that is actually what we all have to fight, right. 490 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:35,360 Speaker 13: I mean, if you look back, our founding fathers presupposed 491 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 13: that we'd always have very broad disagreements to the solutions. 492 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,159 Speaker 6: To our problems up here in Washington. 493 00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 7: D C. 494 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,680 Speaker 13: But they did presuppose that we would approach the problems 495 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 13: from the same set of values and principles. 496 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:50,000 Speaker 6: We don't share. 497 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:53,720 Speaker 13: Those anymore, and so when you try to jam home 498 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:57,360 Speaker 13: what Article one really requires, which is consensus in order 499 00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:01,120 Speaker 13: to get anything done, which you don't have an approach 500 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:04,399 Speaker 13: from the same value set or principle set. You actually 501 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:08,479 Speaker 13: fundamentally don't agree on the nation's problems anymore, which is 502 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,400 Speaker 13: why this gets a lot of attention. The log caam 503 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:15,600 Speaker 13: the outcomes, the very negative outcomes that come from seemingly 504 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 13: having all these different problems that everybody already knows the 505 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 13: answer to, but we can't get the solutions across the 506 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 13: finish line because we're disagreeing about the problems. 507 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,119 Speaker 6: Like I get why people are focused on that. I 508 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:28,320 Speaker 6: don't think most people know why. 509 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,439 Speaker 3: How has it been working with a Secretary Hegseth and 510 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:34,879 Speaker 3: his staff over at the Department of War. I assume 511 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:38,920 Speaker 3: you're in regular contact with them as this NDAA process 512 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:39,560 Speaker 3: has gone along. 513 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 6: It's been great to watch Pete grow into the job. 514 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,159 Speaker 13: I mean, look, you know, most of the time, what 515 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,680 Speaker 13: you're going to see in the Secretary of Defense Secretary 516 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 13: of War position is you're going to see a gray hair. 517 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 6: We don't have that. 518 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:55,960 Speaker 13: We needed demonstrable change in the Pentagon. What we've been 519 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 13: doing for a long time, picking from the political class 520 00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,679 Speaker 13: and moving them over across the river to lead our 521 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 13: nation's military has not worked. It has not generated good 522 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 13: outcomes for the United States of America, and it generated 523 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:12,000 Speaker 13: a decrepit culture that's quite frankly, not capable of achieving 524 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 13: the strategic objectives that we need to achieve. I think 525 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:18,520 Speaker 13: Pete's given it a great injection of fresh air. I 526 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 13: actually just caught up with him in Singapore last week 527 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,800 Speaker 13: for the Shangri Law Defense Conference, where I got to 528 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:29,800 Speaker 13: tell you he represented our country incredibly well. He's grown 529 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 13: into the little role. He's doing a good job. He 530 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 13: has a command of the issues, and he has the 531 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:39,720 Speaker 13: respect of his counterparts abroad. And I think that is 532 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:43,720 Speaker 13: something that is missed by our nations media far too often. 533 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:48,480 Speaker 3: And Voischer hearing Congressman Pat Harrigan of North Carolina. Now, 534 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 3: I'm looking at a news story here, Pat. It says 535 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 3: here that last summer you closed out the twenty twenty 536 00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 3: five Congressional baseball Game as a pitcher for the Republicans. 537 00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,640 Speaker 3: You entered in the final inning to secure the Republicans 538 00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:05,680 Speaker 3: thirteen to two victory, striking out Democrat Senator Ruben Diego 539 00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:10,840 Speaker 3: to end the contest. The Congressional Baseball Game is happening tonight. 540 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 3: I know you're back on the Republican squad. I heard 541 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:16,480 Speaker 3: you might have injured your shoulder, so I don't guess 542 00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 3: you're pitching tonight, but you will be doing Are you 543 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:20,240 Speaker 3: the designated hit or is that what's happening tonight? 544 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 6: Yeah, that's right. I'm still hitting. 545 00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 13: I'm not throwing tonight, but I'm looking forward to hitting 546 00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,479 Speaker 13: the ball far at least that's the goal. Every three 547 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 13: year you get a little bit older, it seems a 548 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,960 Speaker 13: little bit less far. But nonetheless, we're out there to 549 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,320 Speaker 13: have a great time. I think we've already sold thirty 550 00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:39,040 Speaker 13: five thousand tickets to this game, which is incredible. 551 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:42,000 Speaker 6: It's at Nats Stadium well, and we've raised. 552 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 13: Over three million dollars for charity, which is really the 553 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 13: intent of what we're trying to do here. It's a 554 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:51,480 Speaker 13: fantastic event. Tune in if you're watching from home, or 555 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 13: if not, you're in DC, come out to the game. 556 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:54,800 Speaker 13: It's going to be a great time. 557 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 3: And the Republicans have won. Is it five in a 558 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:00,520 Speaker 3: row over the Democrats? 559 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:00,960 Speaker 4: Is that right? 560 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:01,560 Speaker 7: A row? 561 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:02,520 Speaker 6: Going for six? 562 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:05,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, going for six tonight. 563 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,760 Speaker 3: And I met a few months ago who someone I 564 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,120 Speaker 3: assume will be on the Republican squad next year, Mark 565 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,719 Speaker 3: Teschera of Texas, former Major League or former New York Yankee. 566 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,480 Speaker 3: And so if the Democrats are going to try to 567 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 3: get back in the win column, they better try to 568 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 3: do it this year because when we add text to 569 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,800 Speaker 3: the lineup for the Republicans next year is going to 570 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,840 Speaker 3: get that much harder. But already the Republican lineup is 571 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 3: kind of stacked. 572 00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:27,880 Speaker 4: Already. 573 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:31,160 Speaker 3: You played at Georgetown, right, you got several college baseball 574 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:31,960 Speaker 3: players in the lineup. 575 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,960 Speaker 6: Oh I did not play at Georgetown. That got reported. 576 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 4: Oh you didn't. 577 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:36,320 Speaker 8: It is yesterday. 578 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:37,800 Speaker 6: We were like, where did they get that? 579 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:41,040 Speaker 3: That's where I'm reading it. I'm reading it. Listen, if 580 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 3: I if I say that you, if I say that 581 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:45,160 Speaker 3: you played Division one college baseball, you know you should 582 00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 3: do just nod and say, yeah, that was a fun 583 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:47,840 Speaker 3: part of my life. 584 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,040 Speaker 13: Now I'll let my work speak for itself out on 585 00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:56,280 Speaker 13: the ball field tonight. I'll tell you what I'm super 586 00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,800 Speaker 13: excited to have to share on the team. That guy 587 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 13: hit thirteen home runs in that stadium during his career. 588 00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 13: Just visiting here. Yep, we do have a stacked team. 589 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,680 Speaker 13: We're going to have an even better stacked team next year. 590 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 14: Here. 591 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,360 Speaker 13: Things are looking great for Republicans, but we're going to 592 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,480 Speaker 13: try to keep this momentum movement in this game, all right. 593 00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:18,320 Speaker 3: Congressman Pat Harrigan is from North Carolina, was a Green 594 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:21,520 Speaker 3: Beret and served our country. Was not a Division one 595 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,680 Speaker 3: college baseball player, but is the designated hitter for the 596 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:29,400 Speaker 3: Republicans tonight in the congressional baseball game here in Washington, DC. Pat, 597 00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 3: thank you so much for coming on the show. Thanks 598 00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,520 Speaker 3: for working on these national security issues. I didn't get 599 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:37,080 Speaker 3: to ask you about the FAISA extension, but obviously the 600 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:40,640 Speaker 3: President and the congressional leaders are working on that. Just 601 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,320 Speaker 3: ten seconds would be a disaster for this to go 602 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:44,200 Speaker 3: dark on Friday. 603 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:48,400 Speaker 13: Correct, well, FISA can't go dark, but we also cannot 604 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,400 Speaker 13: invade the privacy of Americans the way that we've been 605 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:53,880 Speaker 13: invading it since the post nine eleven one era. We 606 00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,760 Speaker 13: went too far on the security side. We need to 607 00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 13: rebalance that with freedom. That's what we're hoping to do 608 00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:01,320 Speaker 13: this week. We'll see if it happens, but Scott, thank 609 00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:02,080 Speaker 13: you for having me. 610 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,760 Speaker 4: Pat Harrigan, great conversation. We're taking a break. We'll be 611 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:07,760 Speaker 4: back with more on the Scott Jennings Show right after 612 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:08,440 Speaker 4: this one. 613 00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:13,160 Speaker 1: Man, I'm standing tall against the leftist. Mom. Here's Scott Jenny's. 614 00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,280 Speaker 4: We got to talk about this. Stephen A. 615 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,680 Speaker 3: Smith back and forth with President Trump in just a second. 616 00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:23,720 Speaker 3: But first, if you or someone that you love is 617 00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:28,000 Speaker 3: on Medicare, you know that it is designed to be confusing. 618 00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:31,360 Speaker 3: It is a mess of mailers and robo calls and 619 00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:36,840 Speaker 3: half truths. And because of this myth myth not myth mess. 620 00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,920 Speaker 3: Because of this mess, I am partnering with a company 621 00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:46,520 Speaker 3: called Chapter. Chapter cuts through the Medicare mess. They cut 622 00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:49,600 Speaker 3: through the noise. I know that it works because my 623 00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 3: parents just went through their consultation. They are of Medicare age. 624 00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:57,440 Speaker 3: The results speak for themselves. My mom can save six 625 00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:01,720 Speaker 3: hundred dollars a year on her plan G and my dad. 626 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,720 Speaker 3: They determined min is interesting. They determined my dad was 627 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:06,720 Speaker 3: on the right plan. But what had happened is my 628 00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:10,160 Speaker 3: dad had moved and he needed a new primary care physician. 629 00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:13,720 Speaker 3: They acted like a concierge. They found him a new doctor. 630 00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:17,120 Speaker 3: Chapter is advocating for you. They're coming up with the 631 00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:20,520 Speaker 3: solution that's right for you. They're not advocating for the 632 00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 3: insurance companies, and that's what you need to know here. 633 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,720 Speaker 3: They don't work for the insurance companies. They work only 634 00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,720 Speaker 3: for you. It's a free call. You dial pound two fifty. 635 00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:32,520 Speaker 3: You get a live person. You just say Medicare plan 636 00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,480 Speaker 3: when you dial it. There's no pressure. You talk to 637 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:37,760 Speaker 3: a live person, you go through the consultation. It takes 638 00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,080 Speaker 3: like twenty minutes. If you're on the right plan, they'll 639 00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:41,800 Speaker 3: tell you. If they're not, they'll tell you and they'll 640 00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,440 Speaker 3: help you find the right plan that will save you money. 641 00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:48,480 Speaker 3: It's called Chapter Dial pound two fifty, say Medicare plan, 642 00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:50,920 Speaker 3: free call, no pressure, real human being. 643 00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:53,960 Speaker 4: You will not regret it. All right, let's talk about 644 00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:56,200 Speaker 4: I got it. Here's what I think. 645 00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:00,240 Speaker 3: It's not been that long ago in American politics that 646 00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:03,720 Speaker 3: a political party, reeling after the loss of a presidential 647 00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:07,000 Speaker 3: campaign they thought they should have won, decided to look 648 00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:11,040 Speaker 3: outside their usual political ranks and nominate someone for president 649 00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:15,040 Speaker 3: who was from the world of entertainment, who had a 650 00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:18,640 Speaker 3: built in pre existing audience, who had a knack for 651 00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:21,959 Speaker 3: knowing how to work media cycles. Of course, I'm talking 652 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:27,200 Speaker 3: about what the Republicans did nominating Donald Trump in twenty sixteen. Now, 653 00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:32,000 Speaker 3: there is a Democrat entertainer type named Steven A. 654 00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:35,000 Speaker 4: Smith from the world of sports. You may have heard 655 00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:35,279 Speaker 4: of him. 656 00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:39,160 Speaker 3: He's got a show and he also does commentary on ESPN. 657 00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:42,560 Speaker 3: He's sort of ubiquitous presence in NBA coverage. 658 00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:44,640 Speaker 4: Anyway. He's been in the news this week. 659 00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:48,880 Speaker 3: Because when President Trump went to Madison Square Garden the 660 00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:52,760 Speaker 3: other night for Game three of the NBA Finals, Steven 661 00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:53,600 Speaker 3: and they lost. 662 00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:55,440 Speaker 4: The Knicks lost. Steven A. 663 00:34:55,520 --> 00:35:00,600 Speaker 3: Smith comes out and blames the loss on Donald Trump. There, 664 00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:07,600 Speaker 3: he blamed Donald Trump. So that started it, and then 665 00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:09,719 Speaker 3: all of a sudden the President caught win to this 666 00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:13,600 Speaker 3: and got involved. Let's hear the President's retort, cut six. 667 00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:17,840 Speaker 1: I think he's a nice guy, but you need a 668 00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:21,439 Speaker 1: certain aptitude. They're un for president. You need a high IQ. 669 00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:24,719 Speaker 1: I'm not sure that Steven has said. I don't think 670 00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:25,080 Speaker 1: he does. 671 00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:29,680 Speaker 3: Actually, this was the greatest thing that could have happened 672 00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,399 Speaker 3: for Steven A. Smith, getting in a public back and 673 00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:34,240 Speaker 3: forth with Donald Trump. 674 00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:34,840 Speaker 4: So Stephen A. 675 00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:38,920 Speaker 3: Smith was on the Laura Coates CNN show last night. 676 00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,719 Speaker 3: I was there for this, and he said, oh, really, well, 677 00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:44,600 Speaker 3: maybe we should debate. Here's steven A and cut seven. 678 00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,120 Speaker 15: But if he really really wants to get down to 679 00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:49,840 Speaker 15: the nitty gritty and really want to challenge me about 680 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:53,239 Speaker 15: my IQ, I welcome to sit down with him. I 681 00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:56,680 Speaker 15: welcome him on the debate stage. You know, you're the 682 00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:59,640 Speaker 15: president of the United States. You've joked around about circumventing 683 00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:03,279 Speaker 15: the twenty second Amendment and running for a third term. Well, 684 00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:05,799 Speaker 15: if you can pull off those strings, particularly the pull 685 00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:08,399 Speaker 15: that you've got with the FCC or anything like that, 686 00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:11,920 Speaker 15: why don't you find a way to allow me to 687 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:15,480 Speaker 15: keep my money and my job at ESPN and Serious 688 00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:18,799 Speaker 15: XM and still walk on that debate stage. I will 689 00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:21,799 Speaker 15: be happy to show up against President Trump. Since you 690 00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:25,680 Speaker 15: think that my IQ is questionable, you want to find out, 691 00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:27,200 Speaker 15: want some, come get some. 692 00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:30,640 Speaker 4: I'll show up, all right. 693 00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:33,920 Speaker 3: What he is referencing is, you know, there's been some 694 00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,760 Speaker 3: discussion that Steven A might be wanting to run for president, 695 00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:39,759 Speaker 3: and a few weeks ago he sort of determined that 696 00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,440 Speaker 3: he would have to give up his broadcasting job in 697 00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:43,720 Speaker 3: order to run for the office. 698 00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,000 Speaker 4: But you can tell he still has the itch. 699 00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:50,080 Speaker 3: I mean, yesterday he was doing a sports show standing 700 00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:53,200 Speaker 3: in front of a giant American flag like this one. 701 00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:55,759 Speaker 3: And you know, I mean, this is a guy who 702 00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:59,000 Speaker 3: loves politics. He wants to be in politics. He's worried 703 00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,279 Speaker 3: about giving up his end, which is massive. He does 704 00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:04,880 Speaker 3: very well. But I got to tell you, I wouldn't 705 00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:10,200 Speaker 3: discount someone like Steven A. Smith, or even Steven A 706 00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:15,120 Speaker 3: Smith himself from being possibly impactful in a presidential campaign. 707 00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:17,600 Speaker 3: People are looking for different kinds of folks right now, 708 00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:21,840 Speaker 3: not platiner types. I'm not manufactured Nazis. I'm talking about 709 00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:25,560 Speaker 3: interesting people and coming from the world of entertainment, Trump 710 00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:29,319 Speaker 3: proved it. You bring in that pre existing audience, you 711 00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:32,080 Speaker 3: can you can make some noise in politics right now, 712 00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:34,799 Speaker 3: wouldn't I wouldn't discount Stephen a smart guy. We'll take 713 00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:37,760 Speaker 3: a break more news after this. It's Scott Jennings common 714 00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:38,960 Speaker 3: sense for the American people. 715 00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:40,160 Speaker 4: Stay with us, all right. 716 00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:42,279 Speaker 3: We start with a quick check of the headlines here 717 00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:44,280 Speaker 3: on Wednesday, June tenth. 718 00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:45,360 Speaker 4: This just in. 719 00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:50,440 Speaker 3: President Trump says Iran will pay the price for not 720 00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:54,840 Speaker 3: reaching a piece deal. The president foreshadowing more air strikes. 721 00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:58,360 Speaker 3: Some were already carried out last night in retaliation for 722 00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:01,680 Speaker 3: that attack on the Apache helic And this also just 723 00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:03,719 Speaker 3: coming across the desk here, I'm going to read it 724 00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:08,360 Speaker 3: to you. President Trump has issued the following statement. Last month, 725 00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:12,040 Speaker 3: I directed our great US military to execute a secret 726 00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:15,879 Speaker 3: mission to support oil tankers and other commercial ships through 727 00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:19,400 Speaker 3: the Strait of Hormuz. Today, I am pleased to announce 728 00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:21,960 Speaker 3: this effort has resulted in more than one hundred million 729 00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:25,160 Speaker 3: barrels of oil making its way through the strait and 730 00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:28,440 Speaker 3: into the open market. More than two hundred commercial ships 731 00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:32,640 Speaker 3: have safely traveled through the strait. This wildly successful effort 732 00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:35,760 Speaker 3: is because the United States of America controls the Strait 733 00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:39,480 Speaker 3: of Hormuz, not Iran. Their military is defeated and their 734 00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:42,680 Speaker 3: economy is lost. It's over for Iran. Thank you for 735 00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:46,759 Speaker 3: your attention to this matter, Signed President Trump. President may 736 00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:50,080 Speaker 3: be responding to some news about inflation. It has hit 737 00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:54,080 Speaker 3: its highest level in three years in May, rising to 738 00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:58,200 Speaker 3: four point two percent, as turmoil in Iran pushed up 739 00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:02,240 Speaker 3: the cost of gasoline and trainransportation. This increase was largely 740 00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:05,800 Speaker 3: in line with expectations, but it could keep the Fed 741 00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:08,239 Speaker 3: from cutting interest rates anytime soon. We'll have to see 742 00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:10,840 Speaker 3: how the new FED chair, Kevin Warsh handles that and 743 00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:12,920 Speaker 3: how voters digest all of this. 744 00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:15,279 Speaker 4: Later this year, federal. 745 00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:17,880 Speaker 3: Prosecutors have indicted eight people linked to the University of Michigan, 746 00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:22,200 Speaker 3: accusing them of carrying out a terrorism campaign of threats 747 00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:26,480 Speaker 3: and vandalism aimed at forcing the school to cut ties 748 00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:31,280 Speaker 3: with Israel. Federal prosecutors say the group targeted university leaders, 749 00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:37,080 Speaker 3: local businesses, law enforcement, and the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit, 750 00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:43,160 Speaker 3: using intimidation tactics that included graffiti, threatening messages, and symbolic displays. 751 00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:47,720 Speaker 3: Justice Department says the alleged conspiracies sought to terrorize victims 752 00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:51,320 Speaker 3: into compliance, adding that quote America is governed by the 753 00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,880 Speaker 3: rule of law, not fear now. Six of these suspects 754 00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:58,239 Speaker 3: have already appeared in federal court, one was arrested in Wisconsin, 755 00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:02,640 Speaker 3: and another remains at large. Just after we went off 756 00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:06,880 Speaker 3: the air yesterday, the Carmelo Anthony trial came to an 757 00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:10,360 Speaker 3: end and Texas and the teenager was convicted of murder 758 00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:12,960 Speaker 3: and the stabbing death of Austin Metcalf took place at 759 00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:17,080 Speaker 3: a high school track meet last April. Here to discuss this, 760 00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:21,600 Speaker 3: NBC News legal analyst Danny Savalos. Danny, you've been tracking 761 00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:25,640 Speaker 3: this trial. We were speaking yesterday as the jury deliberated, 762 00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:29,319 Speaker 3: give us your reaction. Just seconds after we ended our conversation, 763 00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:31,160 Speaker 3: the guilty verdict came back. 764 00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:32,080 Speaker 4: What did you think. 765 00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:36,279 Speaker 16: Exactly, Scott? And I was I can't say I was 766 00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:40,000 Speaker 16: surprised at all. This is exactly what I expected, and 767 00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:42,120 Speaker 16: I think I communicated that yesterday. But I don't think 768 00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:46,800 Speaker 16: that makes me very much of a soothsayer or a wizard, 769 00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:50,920 Speaker 16: because the reality was this was always a hopeless case 770 00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:54,799 Speaker 16: for the defense. It's actually the real question for me 771 00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:57,760 Speaker 16: is why did it even go to trial? This should 772 00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:01,240 Speaker 16: have been a plea agreement. And I suspect that had 773 00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:04,799 Speaker 16: they explored that opportunity on the defense, they might have 774 00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:07,680 Speaker 16: done better than the ultimate sentence in this case. But 775 00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:10,920 Speaker 16: oftentimes the decision to go to trial is the clients 776 00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:13,719 Speaker 16: and the clients alone, and I suspect, although I don't know, 777 00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:16,320 Speaker 16: that's probably why this case went to trial. 778 00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:21,719 Speaker 3: Did Carmelo Anthony, the teenager who did the stabbing here, 779 00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:24,440 Speaker 3: did he take the stand in his own defense or no, 780 00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:26,279 Speaker 3: he did not. 781 00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:29,600 Speaker 16: And you know a lot of people now can use 782 00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:33,400 Speaker 16: hindsight its twenty twenty vision, as we all know. But 783 00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:37,000 Speaker 16: in reality, that was probably the best choice for the defense. 784 00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:42,279 Speaker 16: And here's why, because in Texas, the prosecution has to 785 00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:46,719 Speaker 16: disprove self defense beyond a reasonable doubt. They have the 786 00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:50,239 Speaker 16: burden for that reason. If you have a seventeen year 787 00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:55,719 Speaker 16: old client who obviously has no experience testifying in his 788 00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:59,440 Speaker 16: own murder trial, going up against an experienced prosecutor where 789 00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:02,360 Speaker 16: the rules of evidence are skewed in favor of the 790 00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:05,759 Speaker 16: questioner not the witness, then there's just too much of 791 00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:09,440 Speaker 16: a risk to put Anthony on the stand. Maybe he 792 00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:12,440 Speaker 16: could have articulated some self defense, but it just wouldn't 793 00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:16,319 Speaker 16: have been consistent with so many of the other witnesses testimony, 794 00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:19,319 Speaker 16: and that would have looked terrible on cross examination. He 795 00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:22,120 Speaker 16: could have just denied what all these other witnesses said, 796 00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:25,680 Speaker 16: but it might have made him look even less credible. 797 00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:29,560 Speaker 16: So I think the risk averse wiser choice was to 798 00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:31,600 Speaker 16: not call him to the stand and rest on the 799 00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:34,239 Speaker 16: best thing that the defense had going for them, which 800 00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:38,040 Speaker 16: wasn't much, which was that the prosecution had to disprove 801 00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:39,200 Speaker 16: self defense. 802 00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:43,520 Speaker 3: All right, So the jury took just a few hours 803 00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:47,680 Speaker 3: to convict Carmelo Anthony of murder, and then they went 804 00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:52,000 Speaker 3: back in and started to consider the sentence and they 805 00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:55,640 Speaker 3: came out with a thirty five year prison sentence. In 806 00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:58,680 Speaker 3: this case, I have two questions. Number one, why wasn't 807 00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:03,759 Speaker 3: the death penalty on tap here for Carmelo Anthony? And 808 00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:07,520 Speaker 3: number two, tell us about this issue of sudden passion 809 00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:10,680 Speaker 3: that was considered during the jury deliberation. 810 00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:14,120 Speaker 16: So first, he was not ever going to get the 811 00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:17,040 Speaker 16: death penalty because he was a minor when the crime 812 00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:19,760 Speaker 16: was committed, and the Supreme Court has said you can't 813 00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:24,080 Speaker 16: send minors, you can't convict them and execute them if 814 00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:25,759 Speaker 16: they were miners at the time and the commission of 815 00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:27,640 Speaker 16: the crime. So the only thing ever on the table 816 00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:30,800 Speaker 16: was a sentence in the range of five to ninety 817 00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:34,880 Speaker 16: nine years for first degree felony. That's what Texas calls 818 00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:38,720 Speaker 16: their murder statute. So that's what was on the table, 819 00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:41,359 Speaker 16: five to ninety nine years. And I believe technically they 820 00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:43,879 Speaker 16: could have made it life as well. Now you ask 821 00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:47,120 Speaker 16: about passion. Now, a crime committed in the heat of 822 00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:51,080 Speaker 16: passion in Texas isn't a defense to the guilt phase 823 00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:53,280 Speaker 16: of the crime. In other words, it wasn't a defense 824 00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:56,680 Speaker 16: like self defense. It only comes into play during sentencing. 825 00:43:56,760 --> 00:44:00,600 Speaker 16: So in that sense, it's what we call mitigation, essentially 826 00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:03,560 Speaker 16: saying to the court, as you're thinking of my punishment, 827 00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:06,360 Speaker 16: here's a reason why I'm not as bad as you 828 00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:10,799 Speaker 16: think I am. So the passion aspect was something that 829 00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:13,880 Speaker 16: Anthony had to prove, and if he did prove passion, 830 00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:16,560 Speaker 16: it actually had quite a dramatic result. If he had 831 00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:18,920 Speaker 16: been able to do that, he would have had the burden. 832 00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:22,640 Speaker 16: So the burden shifts now. Now in sentencing, the defendant 833 00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:26,239 Speaker 16: has to establish passion and passion he is both a 834 00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:29,080 Speaker 16: subjective and an objective element. What I mean by that 835 00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:32,839 Speaker 16: is that it's not enough for Anthony for evidence that 836 00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:37,560 Speaker 16: Anthony said or believed that he was in an impassioned 837 00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:39,320 Speaker 16: state during this melee. 838 00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:40,840 Speaker 4: It had to be objective. 839 00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:43,920 Speaker 16: In fact, the statute says something to the effect of 840 00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:47,480 Speaker 16: a person of an ordinary temper, So with that tie 841 00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:50,560 Speaker 16: to reasonableness, it's a much harder bar to clear, but 842 00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:53,719 Speaker 16: the effect is dramatic. It would have dropped Anthony from 843 00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:58,279 Speaker 16: a sentencing place out of murder and into manslaughter. Even 844 00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:01,400 Speaker 16: though the jury rejected manslaugh, he had a shot of 845 00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:04,319 Speaker 16: getting sentenced from manslaughter and that would have put him 846 00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:07,200 Speaker 16: at I believe it was two to twenty or twenty 847 00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:07,880 Speaker 16: two years. 848 00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:08,359 Speaker 12: Now. 849 00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:10,040 Speaker 16: The fact that I got a sentence of thirty five 850 00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:13,560 Speaker 16: years tells us that the jury rejected the passion argument 851 00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:17,120 Speaker 16: and sentenced him on the murder charge. 852 00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:22,880 Speaker 3: Talking to nbcors legal analyst Danny Savallos about this Carmelo 853 00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:27,080 Speaker 3: Anthony trial down in Texas, Anthony convicted of murdering Austin 854 00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:31,520 Speaker 3: Metcalf got thirty five years for this murder. We've seen 855 00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:35,640 Speaker 3: Danny a lot of interesting reactions and after the break 856 00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:37,920 Speaker 3: we're going to play some of those. But I want 857 00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:40,400 Speaker 3: to know what happens next. I assume there will be 858 00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:43,960 Speaker 3: appeals in this case. Can they appeal the verdict, the 859 00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:46,680 Speaker 3: guilty verdict, and can they also appeal the sentence? And 860 00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:48,480 Speaker 3: give us an idea of how that works in Texas? 861 00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:52,680 Speaker 16: Not only can they, they will and it's essentially automatic. 862 00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:55,360 Speaker 16: I mean, every single trial court in all parts of 863 00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:59,520 Speaker 16: the country provides for an appeal of all criminal convictions 864 00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:00,800 Speaker 16: after trial. 865 00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:02,520 Speaker 4: After your shot at the appeals court. 866 00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:04,840 Speaker 16: You don't absolutely have a shot at the Supreme Court, 867 00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:07,040 Speaker 16: but you can try, and I mean the Supreme Court 868 00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:10,080 Speaker 16: of whatever state you're in, so they absolutely will appeal. 869 00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:12,960 Speaker 16: But here's something you've probably heard a lot about Scott 870 00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:15,160 Speaker 16: that I do not think will be a major issue 871 00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:17,440 Speaker 16: on appeal, and it's this. There's been a lot of 872 00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:21,920 Speaker 16: reporting about how the jury had no black, no African 873 00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:25,680 Speaker 16: American members, and more than that. More than that, there 874 00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:28,160 Speaker 16: was what we call a bats In challenge during jury 875 00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:31,680 Speaker 16: selection where the prosecution excluded I believe it was three 876 00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:34,799 Speaker 16: prospective jurors and the defense objected. 877 00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:36,200 Speaker 4: But here's the thing. 878 00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:40,440 Speaker 16: Constitutionally, there is no requirement that a jury contain a 879 00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:43,840 Speaker 16: certain number of black, white, or any ethnicity or RaSE. 880 00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:48,600 Speaker 16: The only thing the constitution requires is that if you 881 00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:51,920 Speaker 16: use your peremptory challenges as a lawyer, these are freebee 882 00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:53,880 Speaker 16: challenges that we get a certain number of. But we 883 00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:56,680 Speaker 16: can excuse a juror for any reason. We don't have 884 00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:58,839 Speaker 16: to have a good reason. But the Supreme Court said, 885 00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:02,520 Speaker 16: no matter what reason for excluding someone, the only forbidden 886 00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:05,640 Speaker 16: reason is race, race, or ethnicity or one of those 887 00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:09,760 Speaker 16: protected categories. So when that happens, the problem with bats 888 00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:11,319 Speaker 16: and challenges, and I can talk about these all day 889 00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:14,879 Speaker 16: and make it very brief, the prosecution essentially said, well, 890 00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:18,400 Speaker 16: these witnesses have excuse me. These jurors, potential jurors have 891 00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:20,759 Speaker 16: some relation to the school district. They may have worked 892 00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:23,040 Speaker 16: for the school district. I don't know exactly what it was, 893 00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:25,799 Speaker 16: but if they can articulate a non racial reason for 894 00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:29,319 Speaker 16: excluding them and the court accepted it, then the mere 895 00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:32,480 Speaker 16: fact that the jury was had no black people on it. 896 00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:34,520 Speaker 16: And I believe that people from other races, just no 897 00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:38,560 Speaker 16: black people does not mean it is constitutionally infirmed. 898 00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:44,400 Speaker 3: Danny Savalos, legal analysts for NBC News.

It's Scott Jennings on Salem. 910 00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:12,000 Speaker 4: Stay with us. 911 00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:15,600 Speaker 12: You've heard the narratives. Now get the truth. It's the 912 00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:16,719 Speaker 12: Scott Jennings show. 913 00:48:18,080 --> 00:48:19,880 Speaker 3: Well, I told you we'd keep on top of it, 914 00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:22,480 Speaker 3: and there is a little news on this effort to 915 00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:27,000 Speaker 3: extend FISA, our surveillance law that allows us to pay 916 00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:31,440 Speaker 3: attention to what these overseas terrorists are doing. So this morning, 917 00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:33,440 Speaker 3: House Speaker Johnson went to the White House talk to 918 00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:35,839 Speaker 3: the President. He's asked the Congress for a short term 919 00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:37,160 Speaker 3: extension to keep talking. 920 00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:38,560 Speaker 4: But a couple of. 921 00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:42,560 Speaker 3: Political reporters that I follow and trust, Jake Sherman and 922 00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:47,880 Speaker 3: Andrew desa Dario, are reporting that the consensus from the 923 00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:53,160 Speaker 3: Senate Democratic lunch. So the Senate Democrats just now had 924 00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:56,719 Speaker 3: their lunch and they are saying no deal on a 925 00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:59,200 Speaker 3: short term FISA extension. 926 00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:01,480 Speaker 4: Until Bill Poulti is gone. Now. 927 00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:04,520 Speaker 3: Pulty is the man that President Trump, at least on 928 00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:08,240 Speaker 3: an interim basis, has appointed to head up the Office 929 00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:11,960 Speaker 3: of the Director of National Intelligence. He replaced Tulci Gabbard, 930 00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:14,640 Speaker 3: and that is what is causing this whole feis a mess. 931 00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:18,200 Speaker 3: So right now President wants a short term deal and 932 00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:20,520 Speaker 3: the Democrats and the Senator saying, we won't do that 933 00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:22,800 Speaker 3: until you get rid of Pulty. So we're going to 934 00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:25,359 Speaker 3: keep tracking this over the next few hours. This all, 935 00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:27,719 Speaker 3: by the way, goes away on Friday. FAISA is set 936 00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:31,000 Speaker 3: to expire on Friday, so not much time left. In 937 00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:32,600 Speaker 3: a minute, I want to get back to the Carmelo 938 00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:35,839 Speaker 3: Anthony trial. Some really crazy reactions from some people you've 939 00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:39,040 Speaker 3: heard of first though, And I cannot stress this enough. 940 00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:41,080 Speaker 3: I need to talk to you about aches and pains, 941 00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:42,880 Speaker 3: and I need to talk to you about what you 942 00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:43,640 Speaker 3: can do about it. 943 00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:48,280 Speaker 4: What you can do about it is relief Factor. Listen. 944 00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:51,040 Speaker 4: We've been using it in the Jennings household. My dad 945 00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:51,640 Speaker 4: uses it. 946 00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:54,600 Speaker 3: I've had a number of people in my life try 947 00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:57,319 Speaker 3: it out since I started talking about Relief Factor here 948 00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:03,880 Speaker 3: for all these months, getting a lot of personal nods, 949 00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:07,080 Speaker 3: getting a lot of personal Yep, you were right, getting 950 00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:10,560 Speaker 3: a lot of personal Hey, this is you know, this 951 00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:13,520 Speaker 3: is working for me. What I'm hearing personally is what 952 00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:16,279 Speaker 3: we hear about nationally. I think a million people have 953 00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:18,799 Speaker 3: ordered relief Factor, and about two thirds of them have 954 00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:22,040 Speaker 3: gone on to order more. That means it's working for them. 955 00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:25,400 Speaker 3: It attacks pain at the source, which is often inflammation, 956 00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:28,320 Speaker 3: and the way Relief Factor does it. 957 00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:30,560 Speaker 4: It's very simple. They have a three week quick start. 958 00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:33,440 Speaker 3: You go to relieffactor dot com or you call one 959 00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:35,960 Speaker 3: eight one hundred and four relief and you say, I 960 00:50:35,960 --> 00:50:37,719 Speaker 3: want to try the three week quick start.

We just had our legal analyst on 977 00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:21,640 Speaker 3: to talk about the murderer conviction. But there had been 978 00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:25,840 Speaker 3: some crazy, absolute crazy reactions to this, and I'm so 979 00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:28,320 Speaker 3: sad that we haven't talked about her in a while 980 00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:32,840 Speaker 3: since she lost the Texas Senate Democrat primary. But Jasmine Crockett, 981 00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:36,960 Speaker 3: the smartest Democrat out there, has burst back onto the 982 00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:43,560 Speaker 3: scene with some commentary on the Carmelo Anthony conviction. Now, 983 00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:49,000 Speaker 3: Anthony used a knife to stab Austin metcalf in the heart, 984 00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:54,279 Speaker 3: lacerated his heart. The jury was shown pictures of the 985 00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:57,520 Speaker 3: heart from the autopsy. They took it out, they put 986 00:51:57,520 --> 00:52:00,239 Speaker 3: it on a table. They showed the jury pictures of 987 00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:05,320 Speaker 3: the lacerated heart with a knife. What does Jasmine Crockett 988 00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:07,359 Speaker 3: think about that? Let's hear that and cut five? 989 00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:12,320 Speaker 1: Was it a switch? 990 00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:12,960 Speaker 17: I don't know. 991 00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:15,279 Speaker 6: It was like it seemed like. 992 00:52:15,239 --> 00:52:18,959 Speaker 18: It was a multi tool, almost like a Swiss arm. Yeah, 993 00:52:19,160 --> 00:52:22,160 Speaker 18: like with the little scissors and everything and whatever. So 994 00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:27,200 Speaker 18: it's small, Well, I would argue the size of it alone, 995 00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:28,840 Speaker 18: you wouldn't even think it's a daily weapon. 996 00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:34,600 Speaker 19: And if there was one of the little like I 997 00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:37,440 Speaker 19: don't know, like I do. That's why he went to 998 00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:40,600 Speaker 19: his coach and was like, but I don't think I 999 00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:41,120 Speaker 19: heard him that. 1000 00:52:43,120 --> 00:52:46,560 Speaker 3: Jasmine Crockett says that the knife that was used to 1001 00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:52,480 Speaker 3: murder Austin metcalf isn't a deadly weapon, never minding the 1002 00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:55,799 Speaker 3: fact that the victim in the case is dead from 1003 00:52:55,800 --> 00:53:00,759 Speaker 3: a stab wound to the heart. That was number one 1004 00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:04,080 Speaker 3: reaction from Crockett. Number two reaction, Well, I'm just gonna 1005 00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:08,879 Speaker 3: play this for you. Yeah, it's amazing what people will 1006 00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:11,040 Speaker 3: say in front of a camera. Cut Number four. 1007 00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:18,600 Speaker 18: Black women, especially black women who have black male children, 1008 00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:26,040 Speaker 18: live in fear and agony every single day, a fear 1009 00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:30,640 Speaker 18: and agony that I promise you the Metcalfs probably never 1010 00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:35,239 Speaker 18: spend a day live in that way. And we're gonna 1011 00:53:35,239 --> 00:53:37,799 Speaker 18: have to have just some real conversations about race in 1012 00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:38,480 Speaker 18: this country. 1013 00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:43,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, the Metcalfs who lost their son to a murderer, Yeah, 1014 00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:44,160 Speaker 3: they've never. 1015 00:53:44,040 --> 00:53:45,640 Speaker 4: Felt any agony. 1016 00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:47,759 Speaker 3: You know, Jasmine Crockett, there's a reason she lost that 1017 00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:50,600 Speaker 3: race earlier this year, and you just heard a little 1018 00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:53,360 Speaker 3: bit of that. More after this, Scott Jennings on Salem, 1019 00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:53,960 Speaker 3: stay with. 1020 00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:56,120 Speaker 1: Use comments and the stories. 1021 00:53:56,160 --> 00:54:00,280 Speaker 12: In fact, the mainstream media refuses to discuss the Scott 1022 00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:00,879 Speaker 12: Jenny Show. 1023 00:54:02,239 --> 00:54:05,640 Speaker 3: Got a lot of breaking news popping on Capitol Hill 1024 00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:09,600 Speaker 3: here to discuss it. Congressman from Western Michigan. Bill heizinga 1025 00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:12,920 Speaker 3: Congressman heizinga thanks for joining us here on the Scott 1026 00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:13,480 Speaker 3: Jennings Show. 1027 00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:15,120 Speaker 4: I'm going to hit you with some rapid. 1028 00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:19,400 Speaker 3: Fire news items, all kind of layering in as we speak. 1029 00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:21,319 Speaker 3: I know you're up at the US capital right now. 1030 00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:26,319 Speaker 3: First things first, FISA, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, it's 1031 00:54:26,320 --> 00:54:30,840 Speaker 3: going to expire on Friday. The President has told congressional 1032 00:54:30,920 --> 00:54:34,400 Speaker 3: leaders he wants an extension, a short term extension. It 1033 00:54:34,520 --> 00:54:36,520 Speaker 3: sounds like Democrats in the Senate don't want to do 1034 00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:40,239 Speaker 3: that because of Bill Poulty being installed, at least temporarily 1035 00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:43,399 Speaker 3: over at the National Intelligence Office. What do you think, 1036 00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:46,800 Speaker 3: what are the consequences if FAISA goes dark on Friday? 1037 00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:50,279 Speaker 3: And are the Democrats we're there in transigence here, putting 1038 00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:51,640 Speaker 3: our national security at risk. 1039 00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:56,000 Speaker 14: Well, the answer to that question is yes they are. 1040 00:54:56,040 --> 00:54:59,319 Speaker 14: And I would start with I think Bill Poulty is 1041 00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:03,080 Speaker 14: the excuse use right now that they're using for not 1042 00:55:03,160 --> 00:55:05,480 Speaker 14: supporting this. And look, you know a lot of US 1043 00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:10,840 Speaker 14: Republicans had concerns that the pies of Court had possibly 1044 00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:14,680 Speaker 14: been weaponized. Under the Biden administration. There was a lot 1045 00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:17,000 Speaker 14: of reforms that were put in place that Jim Jordan 1046 00:55:17,040 --> 00:55:17,960 Speaker 14: had led to charge on. 1047 00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:21,160 Speaker 8: So I feel comfortable with where it is right now. 1048 00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:25,000 Speaker 14: And the simple fact is we going dark in this 1049 00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:29,240 Speaker 14: area is going to put the country in jeopardy. And 1050 00:55:29,560 --> 00:55:33,919 Speaker 14: once again we see the Democrats willing to play politics 1051 00:55:34,360 --> 00:55:34,680 Speaker 14: in a. 1052 00:55:34,760 --> 00:55:38,360 Speaker 8: Very very dangerous way here with our country security. 1053 00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:42,360 Speaker 3: Well, this monitoring of terrorism, I mean, we've had acts 1054 00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:45,960 Speaker 3: of terrorism on Americans, sool we know there are people 1055 00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:49,440 Speaker 3: in the country that are communicating with people outside of 1056 00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:51,880 Speaker 3: the country who want to commit acts of terrorism and 1057 00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:54,640 Speaker 3: against the United States. We're currently at war where they ran. 1058 00:55:54,760 --> 00:55:57,800 Speaker 3: They obviously have proxies around the world that want to 1059 00:55:57,840 --> 00:56:00,360 Speaker 3: commit terrorism. So to let this lapse right now just 1060 00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:05,439 Speaker 3: seems the height of irresponsibility. And speaking of terrorism, you 1061 00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:09,560 Speaker 3: yourself have recently been working on some legislation called Deport 1062 00:56:09,680 --> 00:56:12,200 Speaker 3: the Terrorist Act, so this has been at the top 1063 00:56:12,200 --> 00:56:14,520 Speaker 3: of your agenda. Tell us about this bill, why you 1064 00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:17,200 Speaker 3: filed it, and what are the prospects for it for 1065 00:56:17,239 --> 00:56:18,120 Speaker 3: the rest of the year here. 1066 00:56:19,080 --> 00:56:20,960 Speaker 8: Yeah, Well, it's pretty simple. 1067 00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:25,600 Speaker 14: It says, if you are a naturalized citizen who has 1068 00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:30,040 Speaker 14: renounced your own citizenship from your original country and you 1069 00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:34,480 Speaker 14: have sworn off allegiance to that country and have sworn 1070 00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:37,839 Speaker 14: allegiance to the United States and have declared you are 1071 00:56:37,840 --> 00:56:40,720 Speaker 14: now an American citizen and that you are walking away 1072 00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:44,080 Speaker 14: from all of those princes and potentates. Is actually some 1073 00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:48,759 Speaker 14: of the wording that's used when that naturalization ceremony and you, 1074 00:56:49,040 --> 00:56:54,480 Speaker 14: if you are convicted of a terrorism related crime, we 1075 00:56:54,560 --> 00:56:56,880 Speaker 14: have no way of deporting you at this point and 1076 00:56:56,960 --> 00:57:01,279 Speaker 14: renouncing that citizenship or yanking that citizen ship away. And 1077 00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:03,799 Speaker 14: that just doesn't seem right to me. If you are 1078 00:57:03,880 --> 00:57:06,840 Speaker 14: going to be willing to, on one hand, pledge allegiance 1079 00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:09,799 Speaker 14: to this country yet continue to work for its destruction, 1080 00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:15,440 Speaker 14: continue to work towards harming citizens, and whether it's through financing, 1081 00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:19,560 Speaker 14: through training, through plotting, or actually carrying out a terrorism attack, 1082 00:57:20,200 --> 00:57:22,600 Speaker 14: then you ought to lose your citizenship and not have 1083 00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:25,760 Speaker 14: the same protections of a US citizen. 1084 00:57:27,040 --> 00:57:29,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, you all up there in Michigan have seen some 1085 00:57:29,800 --> 00:57:34,080 Speaker 3: acts of terrorism by naturalized citizens. We've seen some other story. 1086 00:57:34,120 --> 00:57:36,560 Speaker 3: I mean a lot of states have seen acts of 1087 00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:39,560 Speaker 3: terrorism by people that went through the naturalization process and 1088 00:57:39,600 --> 00:57:42,560 Speaker 3: yet obviously are in this country to do it harm. 1089 00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:45,040 Speaker 3: Do you think this is I mean, I'm going to 1090 00:57:45,080 --> 00:57:49,200 Speaker 3: ask it any way at all you find bipartisan support 1091 00:57:49,240 --> 00:57:50,360 Speaker 3: for this or is this going to have to be 1092 00:57:50,440 --> 00:57:53,800 Speaker 3: fully lifted by the Republicans here At. 1093 00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:56,200 Speaker 14: This point, it looks like it's going to be a 1094 00:57:56,840 --> 00:58:01,120 Speaker 14: Republican only exercise. We're hoping that common sense prevails here 1095 00:58:01,560 --> 00:58:03,400 Speaker 14: with some of my colleagues on the other side of 1096 00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:06,160 Speaker 14: the aisle. But I got to tell you that anything 1097 00:58:06,240 --> 00:58:11,200 Speaker 14: connected with immigration is so poisoned right now that it's 1098 00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:14,240 Speaker 14: really really hard even the people that are typically rational 1099 00:58:14,360 --> 00:58:18,040 Speaker 14: about this. So we're trying, we're trying to spread this 1100 00:58:18,080 --> 00:58:20,840 Speaker 14: because again I think this is common sense. Again, if 1101 00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:23,840 Speaker 14: you are going to attack this country after you have 1102 00:58:23,960 --> 00:58:27,880 Speaker 14: sworn allegiance to it and became a citizen, we ought 1103 00:58:27,880 --> 00:58:31,760 Speaker 14: to have the ability to revoke that citizenship and get 1104 00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:32,760 Speaker 14: you out of the country. 1105 00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:36,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm thinking about cases that we've covered this year, 1106 00:58:36,960 --> 00:58:41,680 Speaker 3: like Mohammed Jalo, the naturalized citizen who committed the Old 1107 00:58:41,720 --> 00:58:45,760 Speaker 3: Dominion shooting, thinking about the Temple Israel shooting in West Bloomfield. 1108 00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:48,000 Speaker 4: I mean, it is. 1109 00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:50,400 Speaker 3: Not a stretch to say that legislation like this could 1110 00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:54,040 Speaker 3: prevent acts of terrorism like that from happening. 1111 00:58:54,080 --> 00:58:59,440 Speaker 14: Again, Yes, exactly right, And in some of these cases, 1112 00:58:59,800 --> 00:59:03,080 Speaker 14: we've seen convictions, and again, this isn't just an accusation, 1113 00:59:03,720 --> 00:59:07,680 Speaker 14: this is a conviction. After you've had a due process, 1114 00:59:07,880 --> 00:59:10,480 Speaker 14: you've had all of the constitutional protections as a u 1115 00:59:10,480 --> 00:59:13,880 Speaker 14: as a citizen, you're still found guilty of working against 1116 00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:17,280 Speaker 14: this country in a very meaningful way. And by the way, 1117 00:59:17,280 --> 00:59:20,560 Speaker 14: there are there are legal definitions of what terrorism is. 1118 00:59:21,160 --> 00:59:24,600 Speaker 14: And then you know, again to your point, we've seen 1119 00:59:24,680 --> 00:59:29,120 Speaker 14: this play out in sad ways that we ought to 1120 00:59:29,120 --> 00:59:29,520 Speaker 14: be able to. 1121 00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:30,360 Speaker 8: Do something about it. 1122 00:59:30,440 --> 00:59:32,440 Speaker 14: So I'm hopeful that we're going to be able to 1123 00:59:33,200 --> 00:59:36,080 Speaker 14: again convince some of my colleagues on the other side. 1124 00:59:36,080 --> 00:59:38,800 Speaker 14: By definition, we need sixty votes over in the in 1125 00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:44,080 Speaker 14: the Senate. But you know, look, anything that anything that 1126 00:59:44,120 --> 00:59:47,840 Speaker 14: the Republicans are proposing on immigration right now seems to 1127 00:59:47,880 --> 00:59:50,400 Speaker 14: just get an automatic no, doesn't matter even what the 1128 00:59:50,480 --> 00:59:52,320 Speaker 14: question or what the problem is. 1129 00:59:53,480 --> 00:59:57,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, the Democratic position on illegal immigration, immigration of any 1130 00:59:57,080 --> 00:59:59,360 Speaker 3: kind is that everybody must come here and be kept 1131 00:59:59,360 --> 01:00:01,960 Speaker 3: here at all calls, even violent people, even people who 1132 01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:05,520 Speaker 3: hate America, even people who are here to commit terrorism. 1133 01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:08,840 Speaker 3: The default position of one of our political parties is, well, 1134 01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:11,600 Speaker 3: let's keep him here. And I think to most Americans. 1135 01:00:11,640 --> 01:00:13,480 Speaker 3: That just sounds crazy. I assume this is going to 1136 01:00:13,480 --> 01:00:15,920 Speaker 3: be used in some of the congressional campaigns as fall, 1137 01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:17,520 Speaker 3: maybe even yours. I know you're going to be in 1138 01:00:18,360 --> 01:00:21,720 Speaker 3: a tough race up there in Michigan. Speaking of immigration, 1139 01:00:22,160 --> 01:00:25,000 Speaker 3: President this morning in the Oval Office signed the Immigration 1140 01:00:25,240 --> 01:00:28,960 Speaker 3: Funding Reconciliation Bill that came out of the House. Finally, 1141 01:00:29,040 --> 01:00:31,600 Speaker 3: and now we're going to have seventy billion dollars to 1142 01:00:31,720 --> 01:00:35,480 Speaker 3: fund ice and border patrol. What you've done here is 1143 01:00:35,560 --> 01:00:41,720 Speaker 3: really protect immigration enforcement from Democrats. As long as Donald 1144 01:00:41,720 --> 01:00:43,360 Speaker 3: Trump is the president, We're not going to have to 1145 01:00:43,400 --> 01:00:47,160 Speaker 3: revisit this again while President Trump is in office, but 1146 01:00:47,200 --> 01:00:49,960 Speaker 3: you know, I worry about what happens after that. You know, 1147 01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:53,720 Speaker 3: if Democrats win elections the House, the Senate, the White 1148 01:00:53,760 --> 01:00:57,200 Speaker 3: House in twenty twenty eight, what the Republicans have done 1149 01:00:57,280 --> 01:01:00,640 Speaker 3: here to close the border and restrain this legal immigration, 1150 01:01:00,720 --> 01:01:02,040 Speaker 3: it can go away in the blink of an eye, 1151 01:01:02,080 --> 01:01:02,480 Speaker 3: couldn't it. 1152 01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:03,840 Speaker 6: Yeah? 1153 01:01:03,880 --> 01:01:04,600 Speaker 8: Absolutely one. 1154 01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:11,720 Speaker 14: And to quote a fairly recent president who said elections 1155 01:01:11,720 --> 01:01:16,280 Speaker 14: have consequences that Now, he was of a different party, 1156 01:01:16,320 --> 01:01:19,400 Speaker 14: but he was right on that. And we will see 1157 01:01:19,440 --> 01:01:23,160 Speaker 14: them full bore go back to where they had been before. 1158 01:01:23,200 --> 01:01:24,080 Speaker 8: With an open. 1159 01:01:23,840 --> 01:01:29,320 Speaker 14: Border, with a come one, come all, doesn't matter, your qualifications, 1160 01:01:29,360 --> 01:01:32,240 Speaker 14: doesn't matter. If you are going to add to our society, 1161 01:01:33,120 --> 01:01:36,040 Speaker 14: you are going to be welcomed here. And by the way, 1162 01:01:36,800 --> 01:01:40,400 Speaker 14: assuming that you aren't going to be required to be 1163 01:01:40,520 --> 01:01:43,840 Speaker 14: self sufficient, we're going to start throwing money at you. 1164 01:01:44,480 --> 01:01:48,320 Speaker 14: And meanwhile, we've got our own citizenry that is suffering, 1165 01:01:48,800 --> 01:01:52,800 Speaker 14: and I just don't understand why we have they have 1166 01:01:52,960 --> 01:01:56,920 Speaker 14: placed a priority on non citizens coming into the country 1167 01:01:57,040 --> 01:01:59,040 Speaker 14: rather than taking care of our own citizens. 1168 01:01:59,080 --> 01:02:01,360 Speaker 8: And there's one there, one quick item. 1169 01:02:01,120 --> 01:02:05,400 Speaker 14: Though, of this reconciliation bills funding that I think was 1170 01:02:05,480 --> 01:02:08,680 Speaker 14: kind of lost. You know, first of all, we're actually 1171 01:02:08,680 --> 01:02:11,960 Speaker 14: going to have more money for CVP and ICE at 1172 01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:14,440 Speaker 14: the end of this had rather than if they had 1173 01:02:14,560 --> 01:02:18,360 Speaker 14: just actually stuck to the deals that had been discussed. 1174 01:02:18,680 --> 01:02:20,480 Speaker 14: But here was one of these things that is so 1175 01:02:20,680 --> 01:02:25,480 Speaker 14: bothersome for me as a father. We are restoring over 1176 01:02:25,560 --> 01:02:28,320 Speaker 14: one hundred million dollars that is going to be used 1177 01:02:28,320 --> 01:02:32,880 Speaker 14: explicitly for child exploitation, for rooting that out, for making 1178 01:02:32,880 --> 01:02:36,720 Speaker 14: sure that some of the most vulnerable people are not 1179 01:02:36,920 --> 01:02:41,880 Speaker 14: going to be trafficked, and what is not just shocking 1180 01:02:41,960 --> 01:02:45,840 Speaker 14: but frustrating and makes me angry is we've got colleagues 1181 01:02:45,840 --> 01:02:50,200 Speaker 14: who know this. They know it, and they willingly went 1182 01:02:50,280 --> 01:02:54,560 Speaker 14: along with this just to score political points. And they 1183 01:02:54,600 --> 01:02:58,000 Speaker 14: were literally putting kids in danger and trying to then 1184 01:02:58,080 --> 01:03:02,040 Speaker 14: blame the Republicans for them when they wouldn't actually fund 1185 01:03:02,080 --> 01:03:05,520 Speaker 14: these programs. So it's not just about ice enforcement or 1186 01:03:05,560 --> 01:03:07,720 Speaker 14: even Customs and Border patrol. It's all of these other 1187 01:03:07,760 --> 01:03:12,000 Speaker 14: investigations and all these other things that these agencies do 1188 01:03:13,040 --> 01:03:14,160 Speaker 14: to protect people. 1189 01:03:15,600 --> 01:03:18,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, the temper tantrum thrown by Democrats here shutting down 1190 01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:22,160 Speaker 3: the Department of Homeland Security for all those weeks, forcing 1191 01:03:22,200 --> 01:03:25,800 Speaker 3: all those TSA agents to go without pay, really putting 1192 01:03:25,840 --> 01:03:28,600 Speaker 3: the nation at risk for a long long time, trying 1193 01:03:28,600 --> 01:03:31,000 Speaker 3: to throw sand into gears of government. It was all 1194 01:03:31,040 --> 01:03:35,560 Speaker 3: in service of demanding reforms or whatever you want to 1195 01:03:35,600 --> 01:03:38,120 Speaker 3: call it to immigration enforcement. At the end of the day, 1196 01:03:38,160 --> 01:03:40,160 Speaker 3: they got nothing. I mean, at the end of the day, 1197 01:03:40,360 --> 01:03:43,560 Speaker 3: the President and the Republicans wound up getting more money 1198 01:03:43,560 --> 01:03:47,280 Speaker 3: for immigration enforcement to keep going the President's program, which 1199 01:03:47,320 --> 01:03:49,240 Speaker 3: is to keep the border closed so that we know 1200 01:03:49,240 --> 01:03:51,560 Speaker 3: who's coming in here and keep these most dangerous people 1201 01:03:51,560 --> 01:03:53,480 Speaker 3: from coming in and get the dangerous people who are 1202 01:03:53,520 --> 01:03:56,760 Speaker 3: here out. Democrats really got nothing. It was a performative 1203 01:03:56,760 --> 01:04:01,080 Speaker 3: temper tantrum that produced no results. Congress from Bill Heizing 1204 01:04:01,240 --> 01:04:03,760 Speaker 3: is our guest from Western Michigan, got a couple of 1205 01:04:03,800 --> 01:04:06,520 Speaker 3: minutes left here. I want to ask you about what 1206 01:04:06,600 --> 01:04:10,040 Speaker 3: happens next for the House Republicans. This vehicle on the 1207 01:04:10,040 --> 01:04:13,600 Speaker 3: immigration enforcement was a reconciliation bill, which means you can 1208 01:04:13,640 --> 01:04:16,120 Speaker 3: pass it out of the Senate, which is a simple majority. 1209 01:04:16,480 --> 01:04:20,320 Speaker 3: There's talk in the House about reconciliation three point zero 1210 01:04:21,160 --> 01:04:22,680 Speaker 3: the third time you've tried to do it. I know 1211 01:04:22,720 --> 01:04:24,120 Speaker 3: a lot of members that want to do it, some 1212 01:04:24,560 --> 01:04:27,800 Speaker 3: maybe a little lukewarm on it. But my view is 1213 01:04:27,880 --> 01:04:29,600 Speaker 3: I'll just tell you, I think the Republicans need to 1214 01:04:29,640 --> 01:04:32,000 Speaker 3: do a little more governing this summer. Is that your position, 1215 01:04:32,120 --> 01:04:34,040 Speaker 3: and if yes, what would you like to see in 1216 01:04:34,080 --> 01:04:35,680 Speaker 3: this bill? 1217 01:04:35,840 --> 01:04:39,920 Speaker 14: Yeah, we do have to demonstrate that we can actually govern. 1218 01:04:40,360 --> 01:04:42,680 Speaker 14: That's what the American people expect. I know, that's what 1219 01:04:42,720 --> 01:04:46,440 Speaker 14: my constituents expect. That's certainly something that I've been trying 1220 01:04:46,480 --> 01:04:50,960 Speaker 14: to deliver. And to a certain degree that means by 1221 01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:55,320 Speaker 14: partisan is by partisanship on certain issues, if at all 1222 01:04:55,360 --> 01:04:59,720 Speaker 14: possible what the Democrats have demonstrated is that they have 1223 01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:04,160 Speaker 14: in this entire year into one big giant political statement 1224 01:05:04,760 --> 01:05:08,440 Speaker 14: and therefore it's going to have to be basically a 1225 01:05:08,800 --> 01:05:09,960 Speaker 14: one party. 1226 01:05:09,920 --> 01:05:12,400 Speaker 8: UH effort all the way through. 1227 01:05:12,920 --> 01:05:15,160 Speaker 14: And you know, look, we still have some cleanup that 1228 01:05:15,200 --> 01:05:18,520 Speaker 14: we need to do in uh in in taxes and 1229 01:05:18,680 --> 01:05:22,000 Speaker 14: the funding there. We've got a number of issues that 1230 01:05:22,320 --> 01:05:24,640 Speaker 14: we still would like to tackle that are going to 1231 01:05:24,680 --> 01:05:27,880 Speaker 14: be They're going to be tough, and you know, it's 1232 01:05:27,920 --> 01:05:32,680 Speaker 14: it's forming government, especially when you've got people who just 1233 01:05:32,800 --> 01:05:37,200 Speaker 14: live and breathe for the expansion of government is very difficult. 1234 01:05:37,280 --> 01:05:40,760 Speaker 14: And again, you know, as we're seeing with with this 1235 01:05:41,400 --> 01:05:44,320 Speaker 14: customs and border patrol and ice funding, they're willing to 1236 01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:48,760 Speaker 14: cut off their political nose to spite their face because 1237 01:05:49,400 --> 01:05:51,960 Speaker 14: because of the president and uh, you know that that 1238 01:05:52,040 --> 01:05:52,600 Speaker 14: just doesn't. 1239 01:05:52,400 --> 01:05:53,960 Speaker 8: Seem to make a whole lot of sense to me. 1240 01:05:54,160 --> 01:05:56,520 Speaker 14: So we got energy that we have to tackle and 1241 01:05:56,640 --> 01:06:01,640 Speaker 14: keep keep moving on that. Certainly, as we're seeing tweaks 1242 01:06:01,680 --> 01:06:06,440 Speaker 14: to the tax tax policies that are helping to expand 1243 01:06:06,480 --> 01:06:10,439 Speaker 14: our economy, that's going to be a key part. We've 1244 01:06:10,480 --> 01:06:13,320 Speaker 14: got to solve the energy issue when it comes to affordability. 1245 01:06:13,360 --> 01:06:16,080 Speaker 8: I know you've talked about that quite a bit. Oh yeah, 1246 01:06:16,080 --> 01:06:17,920 Speaker 8: and you know hopefully we're going to be able to 1247 01:06:17,920 --> 01:06:18,240 Speaker 8: do that. 1248 01:06:19,480 --> 01:06:22,560 Speaker 3: Congressman Bill Heizingo Western Michigan. I know you're up in 1249 01:06:22,560 --> 01:06:24,200 Speaker 3: the house right now. We wish you luck for the 1250 01:06:24,200 --> 01:06:27,080 Speaker 3: rest of the year and trying to move through some 1251 01:06:27,120 --> 01:06:28,040 Speaker 3: of these priorities. 1252 01:06:28,080 --> 01:06:29,880 Speaker 4: We'll see you soon, and thanks for your time today. 1253 01:06:30,560 --> 01:06:31,960 Speaker 8: Hey, thanks Scott, appreciate it. 1254 01:06:32,000 --> 01:06:35,480 Speaker 3: Talk to you soon, all right, Thank you, Congressman.

More after this on the Scott Jenning Show. 1275 01:07:36,240 --> 01:07:41,120 Speaker 1: Come back leaving me a leftist saying hamanahamanah. Yeah. This 1276 01:07:41,200 --> 01:07:42,400 Speaker 1: is the Scott Jenny Show. 1277 01:07:44,040 --> 01:07:46,480 Speaker 3: More news on Capitol Hill as we hit the home 1278 01:07:46,520 --> 01:07:52,240 Speaker 3: stretch of the Scott Jennings Show here on Salem topic 1279 01:07:52,240 --> 01:07:55,560 Speaker 3: today up there in one hearing. Act Blue. You've heard 1280 01:07:55,600 --> 01:08:00,680 Speaker 3: of us covering this. ActBlue is the massive Democratic fundraising platform. 1281 01:08:00,840 --> 01:08:06,240 Speaker 3: It was called to task over potential fraudulent and illegal donations, 1282 01:08:07,080 --> 01:08:11,560 Speaker 3: including donations that may have originated from foreign sources. This 1283 01:08:11,640 --> 01:08:17,040 Speaker 3: is one of the biggest money machines in American politics. 1284 01:08:17,560 --> 01:08:20,160 Speaker 3: It's all for the Democrats, all for liberal causes. They 1285 01:08:20,160 --> 01:08:24,280 Speaker 3: are finally being forced to answer some questions, and the questions, 1286 01:08:24,280 --> 01:08:26,880 Speaker 3: to be honest, are not just coming from the Republicans. 1287 01:08:26,920 --> 01:08:28,439 Speaker 4: Earlier this year, even the. 1288 01:08:28,360 --> 01:08:34,120 Speaker 3: New York Times reported that Act blues own lawyers warned 1289 01:08:34,240 --> 01:08:37,840 Speaker 3: the leaders of the organization that, hey, we may have 1290 01:08:37,840 --> 01:08:41,880 Speaker 3: given Congress misleading information about how we screened donations to 1291 01:08:41,920 --> 01:08:45,240 Speaker 3: prevent illegal foreign money from coming in. By the way, 1292 01:08:45,280 --> 01:08:49,200 Speaker 3: that's the heart of this. Foreign money cannot enter American elections. 1293 01:08:50,040 --> 01:08:50,800 Speaker 4: But there's a. 1294 01:08:50,760 --> 01:08:54,840 Speaker 3: Lot of allegations and sort of investigations swirling out there 1295 01:08:54,880 --> 01:08:59,160 Speaker 3: that Act Blue may have facilitated some foreign money coming 1296 01:08:59,160 --> 01:09:03,880 Speaker 3: into our elections. And AC blue had previously told Congress 1297 01:09:04,600 --> 01:09:07,519 Speaker 3: that they had used multiple layers of protection to root 1298 01:09:07,560 --> 01:09:11,680 Speaker 3: out foreign donations. I'm just look internal reviews here, and 1299 01:09:11,720 --> 01:09:13,800 Speaker 3: this is in the reporting suggested that some of these 1300 01:09:13,800 --> 01:09:15,799 Speaker 3: safeguards were not always being followed. 1301 01:09:15,800 --> 01:09:17,160 Speaker 4: This is important. 1302 01:09:17,320 --> 01:09:22,720 Speaker 3: Because Act Blue is not a fringe operation. This platform 1303 01:09:22,840 --> 01:09:27,600 Speaker 3: has processed about like nineteen billion dollars in donations. It 1304 01:09:27,680 --> 01:09:33,559 Speaker 3: is the financial backbone of the Democratic Party. And the 1305 01:09:33,680 --> 01:09:38,360 Speaker 3: idea that they were ignoring safeguards and allowing foreign money 1306 01:09:38,800 --> 01:09:42,360 Speaker 3: to come in here is really sort of fascinating. Anyway, 1307 01:09:42,400 --> 01:09:44,920 Speaker 3: they're having a hearing on Capitol Hill today. The CEO 1308 01:09:45,000 --> 01:09:50,280 Speaker 3: of Act Blue, Regina Wallace, Jones was questioned by Representative 1309 01:09:50,320 --> 01:09:54,320 Speaker 3: Brian Style. Let's hear that back and forth and cut thirteen. 1310 01:09:54,800 --> 01:09:57,320 Speaker 17: According to The New York Times, you've been aware for 1311 01:09:57,439 --> 01:09:59,880 Speaker 17: quite a while that the response you made was likely 1312 01:10:00,120 --> 01:10:04,759 Speaker 17: false or misleading. Did you ever consider correcting the record 1313 01:10:04,800 --> 01:10:06,559 Speaker 17: for this committee when it was brought to your attention 1314 01:10:06,840 --> 01:10:09,120 Speaker 17: that your letter to me was false and misleading? 1315 01:10:09,920 --> 01:10:13,920 Speaker 7: On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer 1316 01:10:13,960 --> 01:10:18,240 Speaker 7: the question pursuing to the attorney client privilege and my 1317 01:10:18,320 --> 01:10:20,200 Speaker 7: Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution. 1318 01:10:20,400 --> 01:10:21,160 Speaker 1: It's pretty interesting. 1319 01:10:21,200 --> 01:10:23,240 Speaker 17: So now you're following the advice of your lab of Council, 1320 01:10:23,920 --> 01:10:26,280 Speaker 17: but you didn't when they warned you that your letter 1321 01:10:26,320 --> 01:10:27,439 Speaker 17: to me was false and misleading. 1322 01:10:29,520 --> 01:10:32,799 Speaker 3: That was an interesting turn there from Congressman's Style, because 1323 01:10:33,000 --> 01:10:35,880 Speaker 3: what he's pointing out is is that Act Blue I 1324 01:10:36,040 --> 01:10:39,320 Speaker 3: wasn't really paying attention to his lawyers before. But well, 1325 01:10:39,600 --> 01:10:42,040 Speaker 3: and honestly and again, pleading the Fifth it is a 1326 01:10:42,080 --> 01:10:45,320 Speaker 3: constitutional right, doesn't necessarily mean you've committed a crime. But 1327 01:10:45,400 --> 01:10:50,320 Speaker 3: obviously the walls are getting somewhat closer here on Act Blue. 1328 01:10:50,320 --> 01:10:53,479 Speaker 3: They're under massive investigation and they know, at a minimum 1329 01:10:53,560 --> 01:10:55,920 Speaker 3: they may have misled Congress at a maximum, they may 1330 01:10:55,960 --> 01:11:01,320 Speaker 3: have facilitated massive violations of our campaign finance laws that 1331 01:11:01,360 --> 01:11:04,760 Speaker 3: are designed to keep form money out. Congressman Jim Jordan 1332 01:11:04,840 --> 01:11:06,120 Speaker 3: is in the middle of this friend of the show. 1333 01:11:06,200 --> 01:11:08,960 Speaker 3: Let's hear his back and forth with the witness and 1334 01:11:09,000 --> 01:11:09,679 Speaker 3: cut sixteen. 1335 01:11:10,400 --> 01:11:12,240 Speaker 1: We won't keep you here all day, but let me 1336 01:11:12,280 --> 01:11:12,920 Speaker 1: just do one more. 1337 01:11:12,960 --> 01:11:15,599 Speaker 3: Did you weikend your fraud standers to help democrats? 1338 01:11:16,640 --> 01:11:21,120 Speaker 7: I'm the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer 1339 01:11:21,200 --> 01:11:25,760 Speaker 7: the question pursuant my fitth Amendment rights under the Constitution. 1340 01:11:27,880 --> 01:11:31,639 Speaker 3: All right, So, multiple members of Congress trying to get 1341 01:11:31,680 --> 01:11:38,599 Speaker 3: answers from Act Blue, and they were unsuccessful because ActBlue 1342 01:11:38,640 --> 01:11:42,160 Speaker 3: is now being investigated by well, they're being investigated by 1343 01:11:42,160 --> 01:11:44,759 Speaker 3: a number of people down in Texas. In fact, Texas 1344 01:11:44,760 --> 01:11:49,880 Speaker 3: Attorney General Ken Paxton actually he filed a landmark civil 1345 01:11:49,960 --> 01:11:54,160 Speaker 3: lawsuit against Act Blue. He is alleging that the platforms 1346 01:11:54,520 --> 01:11:59,959 Speaker 3: lacks vetting procedures, misled consumers and allowed for these fraudulent 1347 01:12:00,160 --> 01:12:03,639 Speaker 3: foreign donations. So that's going on down there. The Department 1348 01:12:03,680 --> 01:12:07,760 Speaker 3: of Justice is investigating these allegations that the platform was 1349 01:12:07,920 --> 01:12:14,200 Speaker 3: used to elicit straw donor contributions. So basically foreign money 1350 01:12:14,320 --> 01:12:18,320 Speaker 3: going to an intermediary and then being donated through Act Blue. 1351 01:12:18,360 --> 01:12:20,599 Speaker 3: That's illegal. You can't do that, So they're under an 1352 01:12:20,600 --> 01:12:24,920 Speaker 3: investigation there. There is a lot of smoke here, a 1353 01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:27,880 Speaker 3: lot of smoke here on Act Blue. But to underscore 1354 01:12:28,080 --> 01:12:33,880 Speaker 3: the headline, this is such a bombshell in American politics 1355 01:12:33,920 --> 01:12:37,800 Speaker 3: because of the amount of money that Act Blue facilitates 1356 01:12:37,800 --> 01:12:42,120 Speaker 3: for Democrats. Virtually every major Democrat and Democrat organization uses 1357 01:12:42,320 --> 01:12:45,639 Speaker 3: Act Blue. And what's being called into question here goes 1358 01:12:45,680 --> 01:12:49,560 Speaker 3: to the core of you know, did you follow the 1359 01:12:49,640 --> 01:12:52,320 Speaker 3: law and did you put in the protections? Did you 1360 01:12:52,400 --> 01:12:56,160 Speaker 3: follow the advice to screen out the foreign money. Doesn't 1361 01:12:56,200 --> 01:12:58,720 Speaker 3: sound like they're getting a lot of satisfactory answers. Will 1362 01:12:58,720 --> 01:13:01,280 Speaker 3: continue to follow this and we're done for the day. 1363 01:13:01,320 --> 01:13:04,280 Speaker 3: We'll be back tomorrow. Scott Jennings is here, Thanks for listening. 1364 01:13:04,280 --> 01:13:06,760 Speaker 3: It's common sense for the American people, and we'll be 1365 01:13:06,840 --> 01:13:07,799 Speaker 3: right back here tomorrow. 1366 01:13:08,280 --> 01:13:09,080 Speaker 4: Don't go anywhere
