1
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 1: The voice of free speech, the truth delivered, common sense

2
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 1: for the American people. Welcome to the Scott Jenning Show.

3
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:19,480
Speaker 2: Los Angeles. Mayor Karen bass is under fire in Los Angeles.

4
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:24,280
Speaker 2: Will tell you why free Palestine nuts have transformed into

5
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 2: anti ice nuts in Minneapolis. That female boxer who pummeled

6
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 2: the competition in the Summer Olympics, it was a dude.

7
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,520
Speaker 2: And we'll get a check on the North Carolina Senate race.

8
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 2: Live from the tar Heel State. It is Friday, February sixth.

9
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 2: This is the Scott Jetting Show. You're listening to Common

10
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 2: Sense for the American People. Topping the news this hour,

11
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:50,200
Speaker 2: the Guthrie family has renewed its pleas for the kidnapper

12
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 2: of Nancy Guthrie to contact them. This time it is

13
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 2: Savannah Guthrie's brother. Here's the latest video, cut twelve.

14
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 3: This is Cameron Guthrie speaking for the Guthrie family. Whoever

15
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 3: is out there holding our mother, we want to hear

16
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 3: from you. We haven't heard anything directly. We need you

17
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 3: to reach out and we need a way to communicate

18
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 3: with you so we can move forward. But first we

19
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 3: have to know that you have our mom. We want

20
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 3: to talk to you, and we are waiting for contact.

21
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 2: Day six of all this, and they're still frightfully little

22
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 2: to know, at least what we've been told publicly. Justice

23
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 2: is coming for the mastermind of the attack on Benghazi.

24
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 2: The US has captured Zubir al Bakush. He's been extradited

25
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 2: to Virginia. He'll be charged with murder, terror, and arson

26
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 2: over the brutal attack on our diplomats abroad. While you slept,

27
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 2: talks between the US and Iran did occur in Oman.

28
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 2: These were mediated talks. The Iranians are putting a positive

29
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 2: spin on all this. No word from the American side

30
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 2: just yet. This all comes as tensions remain high and

31
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 2: the US has a significant military build up in the region.

32
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 2: A little political news last night in New Jersey, the

33
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 2: radical progressive wing of the Democratic Party has at least

34
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 2: for now, pulled ahead in another race in its war

35
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:18,519
Speaker 2: against the Democratic establishment. New Jersey's eleventh congressional district special

36
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 2: primary election was last night. This is the seat vacated

37
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 2: by Miki Cheryl, who was just elected governor. As we

38
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 2: sit here this hour, the race is very close, but leading.

39
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 2: It is an Alilia Mahea, a progressive from the AOC

40
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 2: Bernie Sanders Elizabeth Warren wing of the party. She leads

41
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,959
Speaker 2: former Congressman Tom Malinowski by just four hundred and eighty

42
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 2: eight votes. Election officials there say it may take a

43
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 2: few days to call the winner. We'll keep an eye

44
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 2: on this. We turn our attention now to California, where

45
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 2: a devastating report this week has uncovered the utter incompetence

46
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 2: and corruption of Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass. The store

47
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 2: it's pretty simple. Last year, devastating wildfires ripped through the

48
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 2: Palisades in Los Angeles, destroying thirteen thousand homes and causing

49
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 2: over eight billion dollars in damage. You might recall that

50
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 2: while the wildfires were going on, Mayor Bass was not

51
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 2: in LA. She wasn't even in the United States. She

52
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 2: was in Ghana to attend the inauguration of that country's president,

53
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 2: even though her people in LA were facing devastation. Fast

54
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 2: forward one year, and the story gets even worse. On

55
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 2: top of the fact that virtually no homes have been

56
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 2: rebuilt since the fire and utter failure in the latest

57
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 2: example of incompetent progressive governance in California. Reporting this week

58
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 2: from the Los Angeles Times says that Mayor Bass is

59
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 2: engaged in a cover up of just how poorly the

60
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 2: entire fire situation was handled. Listen to the reporter who

61
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 2: wrote the story. She says explicitly that Bass ordered changes

62
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 2: to an after action report because Bass didn't want to

63
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 2: look bad. Here's cut five.

64
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 4: So since we reported on the changes to the after

65
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 4: action report, we have been trying to figure out who

66
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 4: ordered them, and so, you know, our sources. We reported

67
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,359
Speaker 4: yesterday that these two people who have knowledge of the

68
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 4: mayor's office and who spoke with two of the mayor's confidants,

69
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 4: said that the mayor reviewed an early draft of the

70
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 4: report and she was concerned about it that it would

71
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 4: expose the city to legal liabilities. We reported that Bass

72
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 4: wanted some of the top findings removed or softened, and

73
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 4: we looked at the draft, and you know, we analyzed

74
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,239
Speaker 4: different versions of them, and that's that's what ended up happening.

75
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,919
Speaker 4: One of our sources even said that the mayor was

76
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 4: told that changing the report would be a bad idea

77
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 4: because it could hurt her politically. It's some things are

78
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 4: still unclear. It's unclear if she made line by line

79
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 4: edits or she just kind of gave instructions and directions

80
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 4: that led to the edits.

81
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 2: That's the Los Angeles Times talking their folks. Not exactly

82
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 2: a bastion of conservatism, but I do encourage you to

83
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 2: read all about it. It's terrible stuff. But the tragedy

84
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 2: of California this week goes beyond just the LA wildfire scandal.

85
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 2: We're also learning about fraud that is rife in LA County.

86
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 2: Similar stuff that could even eclipse the fraud you already

87
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 2: know about in Minneapolis. We're talking about medical fraud here

88
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 2: to the tune of billions of dollars cut.

89
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 5: Eleven doctor bill the government one hundred and twenty million

90
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 5: dollars in the single year, claiming to oversee nineteen hundred patients.

91
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 5: With almost two thousand hospice agencies, LA County has more

92
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 5: than thirty six states combined, and thirty times more than

93
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,239
Speaker 5: either Florida or New York.

94
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: Eighteen percent of the whole country's home healthcare billing is

95
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 1: coming out of Los Angeles County.

96
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 2: How's that possible? And take a look at this map.

97
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 5: A cluster of two hundred and eighty seven hospice providers

98
00:05:56,320 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 5: in a two mile radius, some in strip mall's unmarked building,

99
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 5: even a wrecking yard and vacant lot.

100
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 6: All the reigious paperwork.

101
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:04,840
Speaker 7: I could feel that out.

102
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 6: And how's it start?

103
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 8: One fingered a hostle's license reading for me?

104
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,239
Speaker 2: How is this possible? Doctor oz?

105
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 9: Well?

106
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 2: When an entire state is run by one party and

107
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 2: that party is dedicated to incompetence and corruption, this is

108
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 2: what you get. And who is the ringleader of the

109
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 2: California Democrats who've run the state into the ground. Gavin Newsom,

110
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 2: the governor who now wants to take this show on

111
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 2: the road nationally as he runs for president. This week,

112
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,840
Speaker 2: he embarrassed himself by touting a light rail project that

113
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 2: is nowhere near being built, literally a non existent rail

114
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 2: yard to nowhere. Here's cut fifteen.

115
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 10: Do you want to be big?

116
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 2: You got to be big in big things.

117
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 10: This is the only high speed rail system of its

118
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 10: type anywhere in the United States of America. You could

119
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 10: talk all you want, you guys are actually delivery, making

120
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 10: things happen.

121
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 2: Takes a special kind of shamelessness and narcissism to tout

122
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 2: a railroad that literally doesn't exist. And not long after

123
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 2: Newsom spoke there, well, the structures that are there literally

124
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 2: went up in flames cut sixteen.

125
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 11: Fresno Fire's Josh Sellers confirms the fire began just before

126
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 11: nine am. Investigators saved likely sparks by routine construction. Aerial

127
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 11: video from the high speed rail authority last year appearing

128
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 11: to show the impacted structure.

129
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 12: This is the shoring framework that the concrete has unpoured

130
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 12: in place, and that becomes the permanent structure.

131
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 11: The fire the latest twist and a controversial project. California

132
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 11: High Speed Rail is more than six years delayed and

133
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 11: nearly one hundred billion dollars over budget.

134
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,679
Speaker 2: Fortunately, no tracks were destroyed in the fire, because well

135
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 2: none have been laid. The project to bring high speed

136
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 2: trains to California has been nothing short of an abysmal failure.

137
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 2: It was approved by voters in a referendum eighteen years ago,

138
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 2: and now they're trying to lay a single track. It

139
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 2: was supposed to connect San Francis Go in LA by

140
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 2: twenty twenty. It's now one hundred billion dollars over budget.

141
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 2: They say it'll be done in twenty thirty nine. Who

142
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 2: knows what the world will look like then, but at

143
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 2: least there will be light rail between Palmdale and Gilroy, friends,

144
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 2: California should be the model state, perfect climate, unmatched beauty,

145
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 2: world class resources, the best of urban and rural, unlike

146
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 2: anywhere else in the world. And yet families cannot afford

147
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 2: to live there. Businesses and wealth are fleeing. Gas and

148
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 2: energy costs are the highest in America. Homelessness is rampant,

149
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 2: schools are failing, and for goodness sakes, there is a

150
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 2: literal map of where human excrement is on the sidewalks

151
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 2: in San Francisco. This is the record a beautiful state

152
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 2: run into the ground by Newsom and his band of incompetent,

153
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 2: corrupt liberal Democrats like Karen Bass and others. And Gavin

154
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 2: Newsom wants to take this national. If there's a bright

155
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 2: center of the universe where all common sense lives, California,

156
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 2: at least right now, is the furthest thing from it.

157
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 2: This is Scott Jennings. You're listening to common sense for

158
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 2: the American people, and you're listening to it on Salem.

159
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:19,079
Speaker 2: When we come back, our friend and reporter Jessica Costescue

160
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 2: of the Washington Free Beacon joins us. Jessica has been

161
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,959
Speaker 2: tracking down those Free Palestine radicals on college campuses, and

162
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 2: she has discovered that they have now converted into ice

163
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 2: Watch in Minneapolis. You're gonna want to hear all about

164
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,719
Speaker 2: this new report. It's Scott Jennings. This is Salem. It's

165
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 2: common sense for the American people.

166
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 6: Stay with us, common sense for the American people. This

167
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 6: is the Scott Jennings Show.

168
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 2: Hey, it's Scott. I want to talk to you about

169
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 2: our friends at Balance of Nature. You can find them

Speaker 2: supplements are perfect for a resolution in the new year.

173
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 2: It's kind of tough to stick with New Year's resolutions,

174
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 2: and that's why Balance of Nature's Whole Health System supplements

Speaker 2: aromatic depth. You can also open three of your fruit

00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,080

Speaker 6: You've heard the narratives, now get the truth. It's the

189
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 6: Scot Jenny.

190
00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 2: Show, Friday, February sixth, Scott Shettings here on Salem. One

191
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 2: of the stories that we've spent a good amount of

192
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 2: time covering this week is that these ice watch networks

193
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 2: operating in Minneapolis are very organized, well funded, and well trained.

194
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 2: We have proof of it now, indisputable proof. But something

195
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 2: on my mind has been who are these people? Because

196
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 2: a lot of them look and sound like the Free

197
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:27,319
Speaker 2: Palestine radicals that were terrorizing Jewish kids on college campuses

198
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 2: just a few months ago. Turns out my hunch was correct.

199
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 2: Joining us again on the Scott Shettings Show is Jessica Costas, Q,

200
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 2: staff writer for the Washington Freebeacon. You can find all

201
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 2: of her work at Freebeacon dot com. Jessica, you have

202
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:46,839
Speaker 2: some new reporting and an article entitled anti Israel group

203
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 2: that stormed University of Minnesota building now leads illegal anti

204
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 2: ice agitation. Jessica, welcome back and tell us all about it.

205
00:11:58,120 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 7: Certainly, thank you so much for having me back on.

206
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 7: So it's exactly as the headline suggest, the University of Minnesota,

207
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 7: and this time it's a student group, not recognized anymore,

208
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 7: but they were a student group. It's the Chapter of

209
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 7: Students for a Democratic Society at the University of Minnesota.

210
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 7: And it's really become a flashpoint for the escalating process

211
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 7: tactics and the confrontation we've been seeing for the past

212
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 7: two months now in Minneapolis. So last year, or I

213
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 7: shouldn't say last year because it was twenty twenty four,

214
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 7: so about a year and a half ago, members of

215
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:37,559
Speaker 7: this group stormed and occupied a campus building at the

216
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 7: University of Minnesota during one of these anti Israel raids,

217
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 7: and they ended up barricading doors, they prevented staff from

218
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 7: exiting the building, and they caused tens of thousands of

219
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 7: dollars in damage. So obviously that wasn't just a typical

220
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 7: campus demonstration. It was an unlawful occupation that led to

221
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,559
Speaker 7: some sort of disciplinary action. Unfortunately, not a lot, as

222
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 7: I came to find out as I was investigating this.

223
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 7: But what's striking here isn't just the repeated political agitation.

224
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 7: It's the shifting focus. And we've seen this too with

225
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 7: other groups that I've been doing and leading a lot

226
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 7: of the anti ice confrontation in Minneapolis. There's been climate

227
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 7: groups that are now solidly anti ice, calling to abolish ice.

228
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 7: This group is exactly the same The University of Minnesota

229
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:30,679
Speaker 7: Students for Democratic Society chapter went from major anti israil actions,

230
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 7: including the storming that was you know, they did that

231
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 7: in October of twenty twenty four, around the first year

232
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 7: anniversary of Hamas's October seven attack, and now they're they're

233
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 7: front and center of the leadership in the illegal anti

234
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 7: ice agitation.

235
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 2: Jessica, it seems to me, based on your reporting and

236
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 2: what we can observe with our own eyes, that there

237
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 2: are simply a group of people in this country. Some

238
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 2: of them are students, some of them are from campuses,

239
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 2: some of them are just Antifa radicals. One of them

240
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 2: was arrested yesterday actually by the Justice Department. But you

241
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 2: have this group of people that are simply going from

242
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 2: one cause to the next whether it was Black Lives Matter,

243
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 2: some environmental cause. Then it was free Palestine, now it's

244
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 2: anti ICE. They go from cause to cause to cause.

245
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 2: But they're doing the same thing all the time, which

246
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 2: is essentially trying to destabilize the United States, preach hate

247
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 2: against the United States, and generally bring anarchy to the

248
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 2: streets of America. Do you agree with that.

249
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 7: Observation that's exactly right. For example, that this student group

250
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 7: they've been targeting all of these protests in Minneapolis that

251
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 7: they believe are housing ICE agents, and there happens to

252
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 7: be one of these hotels on the University of Minnesota campus.

253
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 7: And so what this group has done is that they

254
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 7: held three what turned out to be illegal demonstrations just

255
00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 7: in January. They had one every week on Thursdays where

256
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 7: they brought out, you know, over one hundred radicals outside

257
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 7: the hotel to protest. But it wasn't just protest because

258
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 7: it led to property damage, unsafe conditions, and eventually police

259
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 7: had to come in and actually arrest the agitators. For instance,

260
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 7: last week on Thursday, they arrested I believe sixty seven

261
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 7: radicals and this you know, this is an update to

262
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 7: my story, but they were back out last night and

263
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 7: I just checked and they arrested twelve other people, and

264
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 7: so of course they're now you know, funding, they're trying

265
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 7: to get bail fund to get all the people out.

266
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 7: I think they have gotten all the people out, but

267
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 7: this doesn't it won't stop, and these activist group like

268
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 7: just like you said, they will move on to the

269
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 7: next cause, whatever that might be. Even after ice. I'm

270
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 7: sure they'll come up with something next to protests.

271
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 2: Jessica, I've got about ten seconds, but I did want

272
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 2: to ask you about one of the leaders behind this group.

273
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 2: The reporting is insane. This person is a public school teacher.

274
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 7: Yes, this an individual that led the occupation of the

275
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 7: building at the University of Minnesota. He happens to be

276
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 7: a PE teacher in the Minneapolis School District high school

277
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 7: pe teacher. I have, of course reached out to the school,

278
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 7: to the district. I've gotten nothing back from them, so

279
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 7: not surprising.

280
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 2: Jessica Costascu with a free beacon, your reporting is invaluable.

281
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 2: We will have you back and thank you for joining us.

282
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 2: We take a break now. When we come back, we'll

283
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 2: talk politics in North Carolina. Big Senate race down there

284
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 2: at Scott Jennings on Salem. Stay with us.

285
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 6: The conversation said, stories you simply won't hear from the

286
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 6: mainstream media. It's the Scott Jenny Show.

287
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 2: It is Friday, February sixth, Scott Jennings broadcasting live from Louisville, Kentucky.

288
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 2: Back in my old Kentucky home. Pretty striking actually today

289
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 2: to fly in over the Ohio River and see that

290
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 2: river of ice out there as our state continues to

291
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 2: thaw out from the winter weather. Just like a lot

292
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,880
Speaker 2: of places coming up in just a moment. Jason Simmons,

293
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:10,199
Speaker 2: chair of the North Carolina Republican Party, here for a

294
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 2: checkup on the Senate race going on in the tar

295
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 2: Heels state. First, here's something that every parent needs to hear. More.

296
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 2: Kids are being targeted online through gaming platforms, social media

297
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 2: and messaging apps. Have you seen the news about roadblocks,

298
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 2: for instance, predators invading that game talking to your kids

299
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 2: the company. Really, I'm doing a whole lot about it now.

300
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 2: State attorneys general are having to step in anyway. These

301
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 2: companies are profiting from screen time and engagement, and when

302
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:48,159
Speaker 2: predators slip through the cracks, it's families that pay the price.

303
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 2: Child help our partners at child Help. They hear from

304
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 2: children every day who were contacted through games and apps,

305
00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 2: Kids who were groomed, manipulated, or threatened if by adults

306
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 2: pretending to be someone else. Here's a story. One boy

307
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 2: reached out to child Help's hotline terrified and ashamed. An

308
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,119
Speaker 2: adult that he met in an online game was demanding

309
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 2: photos and threatening to lie to his parents. If he

310
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:21,120
Speaker 2: did not comply. Getting in touch with child Help might

311
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 2: well have saved that boy's life. That is why our

312
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,520

00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,399
Speaker 2: sixth and joining me now a veteran of quite a

326
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,919
Speaker 2: few political campaigns out of the Tar Heel State. He

327
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,439
Speaker 2: worked for President Trump in both twenty sixteen and twenty

328
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,400
Speaker 2: twenty and then became the executive director of the North

329
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 2: Carolina Republican Party. End up on Michael Wattley's election as

330
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,679
Speaker 2: RNC chairman. My next guest then took over as chairman

331
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 2: of the North Carolina Party himself, and that is the

332
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 2: title that he holds today. Please welcome the Chairman of

333
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 2: the North Carolina GOP, Jason Simmons to the Scott Jennings Show. Jason,

334
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 2: thanks for being here.

335
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 9: Great to be with you today, Scott.

336
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 2: All right, here is what I want to talk about.

337
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 2: There have been stories this week that have rekindled the

338
00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 2: news of the terrible killing of Irena Zerutzka. You remember this, folks.

339
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 2: Irena Zeruzka was the poor Ukrainian young lady on the

340
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:11,880
Speaker 2: train that was murdered. And Jason, there have been stories

341
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 2: this week that the murderer of Irena Zerutzka actually was

342
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 2: somehow let out of jail and was loose on the

343
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 2: streets of North Carolina because of the policies of former

344
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,639
Speaker 2: Governor Roy Cooper, a Democrat who is now running in

345
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 2: this open Senate race in North Carolina. Jason explain this

346
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 2: story to us, How the heck did all this happen?

347
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 9: Yeah, so very troubling story coming out this week where

348
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:45,199
Speaker 9: Arena Zaruska's murder again, Scott, as you point out a

349
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:49,400
Speaker 9: horrific murder that was played out on video for all

350
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,959
Speaker 9: of the world to see just how tragic her murder

351
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 9: was and senseless it was. We come to find out

352
00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 9: that Roy Cooper had released thirty five hundred convicted criminals,

353
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 9: of which Carlos Brown was on that list, putting him

354
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 9: back out onto the streets of North Carolina, making it

355
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 9: less safe. You have a career criminal being put back

356
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 9: onto the streets of North Carolina by a career politician.

357
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:19,360
Speaker 9: And now you have Cooper spinning, trying to cover up

358
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 9: his own failures, and a legacy media here in North Carolina.

359
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 9: And I applaud you and others that are covering the

360
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 9: story because here in North Carolina and the legacy media,

361
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 9: you already have the spin and the cover up for

362
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 9: Roy Cooper and trying to explain away how this horrific

363
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 9: murder was enabled by Roy Cooper and allowing this individual

364
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 9: to be on a list of criminals again, convicted criminals

365
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 9: put back out onto the streets of North Carolina.

366
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:55,160
Speaker 2: It's a story that plays out, Chairman Simmons, all over

367
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 2: the country. You have Democrats out there that, in the

368
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 2: name of criminal justice for or in the name of equity,

369
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,880
Speaker 2: or whatever you want to call it, have repeatedly put

370
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 2: policies in place that return violent criminals to the streets.

371
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,160
Speaker 2: They take them out of the jail, sometimes they never

372
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 2: even get to jail, and they put them right back

373
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,919
Speaker 2: out into the community. In the case of Roy Cooper,

374
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,679
Speaker 2: for our listeners around the country, he was governor of

375
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 2: North Carolina and he's always tried to maintain this moderate facade,

376
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 2: this fake moderate aw shucks demeanor. But when you look

377
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,239
Speaker 2: under the surface, when you look under the hood of

378
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 2: the Cooper campaign in North Carolina, what you'll find, I think,

379
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,959
Speaker 2: and I'll ask you to confirm it, mister Chairman, is

380
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 2: a radical Democrat, as radical as any other, and one

381
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 2: that was susceptible to buying in to all the progressive

382
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 2: liberal garbage when it came to putting violent criminals back

383
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 2: out on the streets. Do I have that about right?

384
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,919
Speaker 9: One hundred percent, Scott. I mean you look at Roy Cooper.

385
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 9: He runs as a moderate, a center somebody that could

386
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 9: almost be a Republican in name the way he would

387
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 9: go out and campaign, but he moderates himself back to

388
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 9: the left and really conspiring with the left agenda and

389
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 9: the woke criminal policies that allowed Carlos Brown back onto

390
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,639
Speaker 9: the streets. He sets up his own task force to

391
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 9: be able to quote unquote examine these issues and how

392
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 9: to be able to more fairly treat these criminals. I'm

393
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 9: not concerned about the criminals. I'm concerned about making sure

394
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 9: the people of North Carolina continue to say state. And

395
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 9: Roy Cooper failed on that job. He failed to keep

396
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 9: the people of North Carolina safe. He's failed miserably on

397
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,679
Speaker 9: that end, and now he's attempting to cover up his

398
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 9: own failures, especially when it comes to criminal justice and

399
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 9: where he protected criminals over the people of North Carolina.

400
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 2: I think we find this, mister Chairman, around the country.

401
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 2: You have some of these Democrat governors who have worked

402
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:06,159
Speaker 2: very hard to build a very fake, moderate, non partisan,

403
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:10,440
Speaker 2: bipartisan image, and they are often protected in this by

404
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 2: either a lap dog state press corps or a state

405
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 2: press corps that is basically non existent. It happened in

406
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 2: North Carolina with Cooper. I'm sitting here in Kentucky. The

407
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 2: same thing happened with Andy Basheer. He's a radical liberal Democrat,

408
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 2: very radical guy. But you know we have a press

409
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 2: corps that you know, this guy hadn't been asked a

410
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,160
Speaker 2: hard question the entire time he's been governor. And now

411
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,439
Speaker 2: you have the same thing in Cooper. It is really

412
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 2: the job of the Republicans this year, in this Senate

413
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 2: campaign to say what you were told is not the truth.

414
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 2: I think this story, this release of de Carlos Brown

415
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,919
Speaker 2: back onto the streets. I mean that story of Irena Zarutzka.

416
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:51,360
Speaker 2: It shocked the national conscience. And when you find out

417
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:56,479
Speaker 2: what happened, it really does strip away this facade that

418
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 2: was built. Do you believe Do you believe we're gonna

419
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 2: have the resources in North Carolina and the organization to

420
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 2: get this story out to the people, because I think

421
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,679
Speaker 2: if they know it, they're going to turn against Cooper.

422
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 9: Absolutely Scott, and again that's where it's so essential. I'm

423
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 9: going to applaud you and others that are carrying the

424
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 9: water on this story. Well, the legacy media here in

425
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 9: North Carolina or others nationally would rather go ahead and

426
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 9: sweep this one back under the carpet. But again, Arena

427
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 9: Zaruska's murderer was one of thirty five hundred individuals that

428
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:32,919
Speaker 9: were part of a list of individuals, again, career criminal,

429
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 9: convicted criminals that were put back out into the streets

430
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 9: by Roy Cooper. How many more stories are we going

431
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:42,360
Speaker 9: to uncover over the next several months as we continue

432
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 9: to figure out who's on that list. And this list

433
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 9: was only made available to the public after public pressure

434
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 9: by now Governor Stein in his office. Roy Cooper wanted

435
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 9: nothing to have the light of day put on this list,

436
00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 9: but again public pressure sentiment, I had to have this

437
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,239
Speaker 9: release of the thirty five hundred individuals. And we're going

438
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 9: to go back through this list with a fine toothed

439
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 9: comban under cover one more person after another, and the

440
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 9: recidivism that's going to occur is going to be astounding

441
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 9: and shocking to people. And again Roy Cooper intentionally put

442
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 9: these individuals back out on the streets because of his

443
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,679
Speaker 9: own ideological position that is going to end up being

444
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 9: a rubber stamp for the left woke policies if he's

445
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 9: ever elected to DC.

446
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 2: That Voys' hearing is the chairman of the North Carolina

447
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:39,479
Speaker 2: Republican Party, Jason Simmons. Jason, I know that you are

448
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 2: in the middle of a primary season in North Carolina

449
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:45,439
Speaker 2: and you have to maintain some neutrality because there is

450
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,400
Speaker 2: technically a primary. But just for the benefit of our listeners,

451
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,880
Speaker 2: the contours of this primary are very simple. I don't

452
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:55,160
Speaker 2: have to maintain any neutrality. The Republican nominee is going

453
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 2: to be Michael Wattley, the former chairman of the Republican

454
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 2: National Committee, and once your primary formalities or over with,

455
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 2: it'll be Walee V. Cooper down there. One other issue

456
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,159
Speaker 2: I wanted to bring up. The state legislature redrew the

457
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 2: congressional maps. It seems like the Republicans may be in

458
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,920
Speaker 2: a position to knock out a vulnerable Democrat named Don

459
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,239
Speaker 2: Davis in a congressional seat. How's that rashaping up?

460
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 9: Jason, Absolutely, as you indicate, we're in primary season right

461
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 9: now and we're less than a month away from our

462
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:28,439
Speaker 9: primaries and look forward to putting those behind us and

463
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:31,160
Speaker 9: being able to get right into the general election. As

464
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 9: you look at as you talk about Don Davis out

465
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,920
Speaker 9: there in the first Congressional district, that is a district

466
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 9: that right now we anticipate being able to pick up.

467
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 9: You're going to come out of our primary with a

468
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 9: great candidate and the money behind them to make sure

469
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 9: that we can get their message out about again, how

470
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 9: Don Davis has failed the people of eastern North Carolina,

471
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 9: continues to side with the woke Democrat policies that have

472
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:59,160
Speaker 9: put his party over the people of eastern North Carolina.

473
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:01,880
Speaker 9: And so that'll be a great pickup opportunity for us,

474
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:06,119
Speaker 9: and especially as we look ahead to the general election

475
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,679
Speaker 9: North Carolina, like we've seen a lot of arts of

476
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:13,120
Speaker 9: the country, we've seen a real shift in voter registration

477
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 9: to the Republican Party, and just this past month, Republicans

478
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 9: took the advantage over Democrats for the first time ever

479
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 9: in our state party's history. So as we go into

480
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 9: the upcoming general election, we are going to have that

481
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 9: structural advantage where we turn out our voters at a

482
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,879
Speaker 9: higher rate, but now we also have more voters than

483
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 9: the Democrats. So we look forward to really making sure

484
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 9: that the Republican Party here is engaged and ready to

485
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 9: support our candidates going into the general.

486
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 2: North Carolina one of the biggest states on the map

487
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 2: for the twenty twenty six elections. Big Senate race, big

488
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 2: congressional race, a lot of things going on in the

489
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 2: tar Heel state. And it'll be Jason Simmons, the voice

490
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 2: you've just heard running the Republican Party for the conservative

491
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 2: effort in North Carolina. And thank you for joining us.

492
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 2: We will have you back as we continue to track

493
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 2: political doings in North Carolina. We do have some news

494
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 2: to share on aches and pains today. Let me pass

495
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 2: a note that I thought was worth sharing. I'm back

496
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 2: in Kentucky and I have a note here from a

497
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 2: Kentuckian named Aileen. Eighty seven year old Aileen. She tells

498
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 2: me that there was a point where walking had become

499
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 2: really difficult and that she thought, well, it's just part

500
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 2: of getting older. Then she tried relief Factor. Now she's

501
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 2: up and walking again. She's even dancing around to music.

502
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 2: Her words were simple, she has no pain. She started

503
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 2: taking three packets a day, now she's down to two.

504
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 2: She says Relief Factor made a real difference for her.

505
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 2: It's also made a difference in the Jennings household to

506
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 2: that I can attest. If you've tried other options that

507
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 2: haven't worked, relief Factor may be worth a look. Try

508
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 2: out the three week quick start, see how your body responds.

509
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 2: See if it works for you the way it worked

510
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 2: for Eileen and thousands of customers across the country. Call

511
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 2: one eight hundred four relief or go to relief Factor

512
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 2: dot com. Ask yourself, how would it feel to be

513
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 2: out of pain when we come back? The boxer that

514
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 2: you thought was a woman was actually a dude. You

515
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 2: heard that right. It's Scott Jennings on Salem.

516
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 6: Stay with us, ready for some common sense and a

517
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 6: little of Kentucky wendage. Here's Scott Jennings.

518
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 2: Welcome back to common sense for the American people. It

519
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 2: is Scott Jennings here on Friday, February sixth, rounding out

520
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 2: the first hour here on this Friday, I had to

521
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 2: take some time to report to you all about Iman Khalif.

522
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 2: Some of you may remember Khalif back in twenty twenty four.

523
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 2: This was the man who claimed to be a woman

524
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 2: so he could win the gold medal in boxing in

525
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 2: the women's division at the Paris Olympics. Jared, what's the

526
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 2: right song for this, uh segment? Is it dude looks

527
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 2: like a lady? Or actually, in this case, we need

528
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 2: a new song. Dude looks like a dude. That's that's

529
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 2: what we need now. You may recall back during the Olympics,

530
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 2: people like organizations like ESPN writing things like this quote.

531
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 2: Fans have embraced Khalif in Paris, even as she she

532
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 2: they say, faced an extraordinary amount of scrutiny from world leaders,

533
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 2: major celebrities, and others who have questioned her eligibility or

534
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 2: falsely claimed she was a man. So at the time,

535
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 2: if you questioned whether Khalif was actually a woman, you

536
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 2: were immediately hit with fact checks and scorn. This is

537
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 2: clearly a woman, they said about this person that anybody

538
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 2: with eyes could see was a dude. Anybody with eyeballs

539
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 2: could see this was a dude beating up on these

540
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 2: poor women. Yet the entire world was gas lit by

541
00:31:56,440 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 2: sports media claiming that he was a she. They all

542
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 2: cheered on this dude as he pummeled female after female

543
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 2: at the Olympics, cheering on a man beating the crap

544
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 2: out of women. That's sports media for you. However, in

545
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 2: recent interviews in several venues, this boxer Khalif has finally

546
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 2: admitted that yes, he does have the genes of a man.

547
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 2: I will make this simple. Khalif admitted, yes, I am

548
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 2: a man. I have the genetics of a man. He

549
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 2: also admitted that he has elevated levels of testosterone and

550
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 2: had been doing hormone treatments to lower his testosterone for

551
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 2: competitions now. In twenty twenty three, Khalif was disqualified by

552
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 2: the International Boxing Committee because of concerns about safety. You

553
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 2: think it is unsafe to let a dude beat the

554
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 2: crap out of women. But in twenty twenty four, the

555
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 2: Olympic Committee couldn't follow that guidance. Instead, they let Khalif

556
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 2: compete against women, including Italian female boxer Angela Karini, who

557
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 2: just after forty six seconds and two punches, had to

558
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 2: tap out from the fight. After the fight, Karini said quote,

559
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 2: I have never felt a punch like this. At the time,

560
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 2: the International Olympic Committee defended Khalif. The president of the IOC,

561
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 2: Thomas Box said, this is not a question of inclusion,

562
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 2: this is a question of justice. So there was a

563
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:32,480
Speaker 2: lot of confusion at the Olympics as everybody watched a

564
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 2: dude beat up the women, But it was already clear

565
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty three what was going on. The Olympics

566
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 2: failed these female boxers. This was not about inclusivity, this

567
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 2: was not about progress. This was about the transgender cult

568
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:52,239
Speaker 2: getting its way, and they did get their way. So

569
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 2: how the Olympic committee back then could not see what

570
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 2: was so clear to all of us in twenty twenty

571
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 2: four is beyond me. The only right thing to do

572
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 2: now is to strip Khalif of his gold medal and

573
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 2: give it to its rightful owner, Angela Coreini, and they

574
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 2: should move every female boxer up one in the standings

575
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:14,720
Speaker 2: and give out the proper medals and records to these people,

576
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 2: these women who were wronged, They were wronged. Now we

577
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 2: have the opening ceremonies for the Winter Olympics coming tonight.

578
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 2: We'll be watching all of that, and at least this

579
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:29,359
Speaker 2: year we have to say the IOC has banned transgender

580
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 2: athletes from competing across gender lines, so you won't see

581
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 2: men competing against women, which, by the way, is another

582
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:42,319
Speaker 2: example of if Trump hadn't won, none of that would

583
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 2: have happened, you'd have a bunch of khalifs out there

584
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:48,280
Speaker 2: beating the crap out of women in the winter Olympics.

585
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 2: I'm sure in some sport anyway, big update and a

586
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:54,359
Speaker 2: big admission. But you know, I just remember back at

587
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 2: the time, everybody knew it was a dude, and yet

588
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:00,439
Speaker 2: the whole world was gas lit about the this male

589
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:04,840
Speaker 2: boxer beating up all these poor women. Anyway, we're rounding

590
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 2: out the first hour. Before we do, I want to

Speaker 2: running in New York. Is he running on affordability? He

619
00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:01,400

Speaker 2: cut two.

621
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 9: So say that again, so so if someone will if

622
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 9: anybody's watching out there, make your pitch to the people

623
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:10,319
Speaker 9: in the twelve congressional dish.

624
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 8: Yeah, if you want your lives to be better and

625
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 8: you want this country to preserve for your kids, we

626
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:18,319
Speaker 8: need to impeach or remove this fascist now as soon

627
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 8: as possible. And you know that language is tough, but

628
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 8: that's where we are.

629
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:23,480
Speaker 13: We are.

630
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 8: We can't mince words at this point. We are at

631
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:31,360
Speaker 8: a crossroads and if we want to have a country

632
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:35,839
Speaker 8: that survives, we need to end this tragedy that's called

633
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 8: Trump is as soon as humanly possible.

634
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 2: That's George Conway running for Congress in New York. A

635
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:44,799
Speaker 2: lot of Democrats are running on impeachment. My prediction is

636
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 2: they will impeach Donald Trump if Democrats take over the House.

637
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 2: Last night, President Trump was in the White House and

638
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:57,280
Speaker 2: he officially unveiled a new website called trumprx dot gov.

639
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 2: It is a new platform that gives a Marrias direct

640
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 2: access to lower prices on dozens of common, yet high cost,

641
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 2: brand name prescription drugs. Here's the President cut six.

642
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 14: We're here this evening to celebrate the launch of one

643
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:18,479
Speaker 14: of the most transformative healthcare initiatives of all time. There's

644
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 14: never been anything like it. Starting tonight, dozens of the

645
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 14: most commonly used prescription drugs will be available at traumatic

646
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 14: discounts for all consumers throughout a new website. It's called

647
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:39,280
Speaker 14: trumprx dot gov. That's trump rx dot gov. For years,

648
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:43,759
Speaker 14: politicians from both parties have promised to bring down prescription

649
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 14: drug prices and make healthcare more affordable.

650
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:48,480
Speaker 6: But they all failed.

651
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:50,360
Speaker 14: It was all words as usual.

652
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 6: They failed, and they failed badly. They tried doing this.

653
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 14: Some of them, most of them didn't even try because

654
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 14: they never really had a shot at it. But I'm

655
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 14: actually getting it done, and it is done. Actually, this

656
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 14: launch represents the largest reduction and prescription drug prices in

657
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 14: history by many, many times, and it's not even close.

658
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 14: You're going to see numbers that you're not going to believe.

659
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 2: TRUMPARX dot gov. I encourage you to check it out.

660
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 2: Kicking off the last hour of the show here, as

661
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 2: we begin our rounds of Friday Punditry, the national correspondent

662
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:27,799
Speaker 2: over at the Daily Signal and host of the syndicated

663
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:31,839
Speaker 2: show The Tony Kennett Cast, our friend Tony Kitnitt is

664
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:33,840
Speaker 2: back for more Punditry. Tony.

665
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 15: Welcome back to the show. Scott always good to be

666
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 15: with you. And yeah, Trump, our rex is a really

667
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:41,759
Speaker 15: good looking site. I was scrolling through it and man,

668
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 15: it's like it works. We're not used to that with

669
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 15: government websites.

670
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 2: We're specifically not used to it with government healthcare websites.

671
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 2: Folks may remember when Obama launched the Obamacare website. What

672
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 2: a complete disaster that website was. It should have told

673
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:59,839
Speaker 2: us something. The website didn't work, and neither did the legislation.

674
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 2: I want to Tony, get your opinion of something that

675
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:09,800
Speaker 2: Zoran Mamdani has said today. Let's hear from Zoran Cut thirteen.

676
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:11,880
Speaker 2: You got it. You won't believe it, but let's take

677
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 2: a listen and get Tony's reaction. Cut thirteen.

678
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:17,360
Speaker 16: I think of the freedom from suffering that Buddhism teaches

679
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:21,320
Speaker 16: us is only possible if we remove the three poisons

680
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:25,799
Speaker 16: of desire, hatred, and ignorance from our daily lives. We

681
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:30,320
Speaker 16: need not accept suffering as unchangeable. We need not treat

682
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 16: hatred as the natural state. We have the power to

683
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 16: set ourselves free. And I consider my own faith Islam,

684
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 16: a religion built upon a narrative of migration, the story

685
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 16: of the Hidra reminds us that prophet Muhammad so de

686
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:49,799
Speaker 16: a la a le hu is Selm was a stranger too,

687
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 16: who fled Mecca and was welcomed in Medina. Surran Nahal

688
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:57,759
Speaker 16: sixteen forty two tells us as for those who immigrated

689
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:00,319
Speaker 16: in the cause of a law after being persecuted, we

690
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 16: will surely bless them with a good home in this world.

691
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:06,960
Speaker 2: Tony, this is the mayor of New York City telling

692
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 2: Americans that we have to have open borders because Mohammad

693
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:11,799
Speaker 2: told us to. How does that strike you?

694
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:14,920
Speaker 17: I mean, of course the Muslim caliphates, which were known

695
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 17: for conquering and raping and slaughtering as it made its

696
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:20,759
Speaker 17: way across Africa and Europe, would probably disagree. Also, if

697
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:23,360
Speaker 17: you are not a member of the religion of Islam,

698
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 17: you're not allowed in Mecca today. Closed borders to you.

699
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:28,800
Speaker 17: But I'll give him props. At least he did his

700
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:29,920
Speaker 17: little Yoda impression.

701
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:31,840
Speaker 2: Eh put away hate you must.

702
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 17: I mean, yeah, that's exciting.

703
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:34,399
Speaker 2: Good for him.

704
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:38,120
Speaker 17: I mean he has no concept of history, but motivational

705
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 17: speaking at your local incense parlor.

706
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 2: He's got down. Pat Zoran has had a big week.

707
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:45,399
Speaker 2: I've been in New York this week. He can't get

708
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:47,719
Speaker 2: around because they can't get rid of the snow. There is,

709
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:51,280
Speaker 2: in fact, garbage piled up everywhere in New York City.

710
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:54,520
Speaker 2: And now, oh and he shut down the Gifted and

711
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:57,840
Speaker 2: Talented program for kindergartener, so that's going to hurt or Kans.

712
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:02,840
Speaker 2: And now and now we're opening the borders because Mohammed says,

713
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:05,479
Speaker 2: to let me get something a little closer to home.

714
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:08,560
Speaker 2: For you, Tony, you're a Hoosier and I can only assume,

715
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 2: like so many other Hoosiers, you are mourning the tragedy

716
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:16,319
Speaker 2: that occurred this week when the immigrant illegal alien in

717
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:19,799
Speaker 2: my opinion, truck driver ran head on into a van,

718
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:23,880
Speaker 2: killing four people. When you heard this story, and I

719
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 2: want to hear what your personal reaction was, but also

720
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:28,719
Speaker 2: what are people in Indiana saying? They must be outraged

721
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 2: by this?

722
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:32,800
Speaker 17: There is incredible outrage and we actually ended up taking

723
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:35,880
Speaker 17: your clip where to Tricia McLaughlin of the Department of

724
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 17: Homeland Security gave you a statement and aired that on

725
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:43,120
Speaker 17: the show last night here out of Indiana. Because the

726
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:47,120
Speaker 17: solidarity with the Trump administration with red states around the

727
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:49,440
Speaker 17: country that are tired of these blue policies whether it's

728
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 17: the commercial driver's license policy of Pennsylvania, whether it's the

729
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 17: trucking company sanctuary that California provides. These are hurting people

730
00:42:57,520 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 17: in every walk of life in every part of the

731
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:02,800
Speaker 17: This was just a county over from me, Jay County.

732
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:04,359
Speaker 17: I've been in a lot. I used to coach track

733
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 17: meets at the schools there. It's known around a lot

734
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:09,280
Speaker 17: of us here that a lot of people will often

735
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:11,880
Speaker 17: drive those who are amish from place to place for funerals,

736
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:12,759
Speaker 17: birthdays and such.

737
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:15,440
Speaker 2: That's what was going on here, and senseless tragedy.

738
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:20,920
Speaker 17: Just a family, fathers and sons killed, all because an

739
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:24,759
Speaker 17: immigrant who came over through the CBP border app from

740
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:28,680
Speaker 17: Kirjhistan didn't want to wait for traffic swung around and

741
00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:31,360
Speaker 17: it gets to such a le terrible situation. And again

742
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 17: the Attorney General laments here in Indiana that we don't

743
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:38,319
Speaker 17: have more to stop the horrible practices in Pennsylvania and

744
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 17: California in our state.

745
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:44,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a terrible tragedy. And even though this person,

746
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:49,200
Speaker 2: I guess technically came into the country through what Democrats

747
00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:52,000
Speaker 2: would say was legal means, you'd have to remember Biden

748
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 2: set up this app they were letting like fifty to

749
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:56,959
Speaker 2: sixty thousand people a month into the country on this app,

750
00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:59,880
Speaker 2: and then they were parolling them into the country. These

751
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 2: people would have otherwise been inadmissible, it would have been

752
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:04,360
Speaker 2: illegal aliens. Trump's gotten rid of this, He's turned the

753
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:07,840
Speaker 2: app into a deportation app. But I mean, bottom line,

754
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 2: Joe Biden open border policies have led to the death's,

755
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:14,480
Speaker 2: tragic deaths of four people in Indiana, Tony, let's wrap

756
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 2: up with a Washington Post. A lot of weeping and

757
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:19,320
Speaker 2: gnashing of teeth in the media business about all the reporters,

758
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 2: including thirteen reporters who covered climate change. We're let go

759
00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:26,160
Speaker 2: at the Washington Post had all this news hit your

760
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 2: ears this week.

761
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:30,880
Speaker 17: With mirth, with laughter, with dancing in the streets. I

762
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:32,279
Speaker 17: gotta tell you, Scott, I don't know if you've ever

763
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:34,719
Speaker 17: been a race reporter. I don't know if you've ever

764
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:38,360
Speaker 17: been a protest reporter. But they had multiple of those

765
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:42,320
Speaker 17: at the Washington Post. Again, while they're calling dead terrorists

766
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:45,799
Speaker 17: austere scholars, all all I can say is this, when

767
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 17: some of us were kicked out of the White House

768
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:51,000
Speaker 17: press room because we weren't considered real journalism. I would

769
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:53,439
Speaker 17: like to just say we are now still there. And

770
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:56,680
Speaker 17: they who have begged Jeff Bezos for lots and lots

771
00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:59,160
Speaker 17: of money, obviously he didn't give that to them to

772
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:02,080
Speaker 17: support their little ch cause. I hope the go fundmes

773
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 17: kick in and do what they're hoping because obviously their

774
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:06,320

Speaker 2: of this program and the secret list of inmates that

815
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:13,600
Speaker 2: was freed by Roy Cooper. They tried to suppress it,

826
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:54,360
Speaker 2: Senate race. Scott Jennings is with you on Salem. I

827
00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:56,920
Speaker 2: want to introduce a new segment this week to the

828
00:47:56,920 --> 00:48:00,160
Speaker 2: Scott Jennings Show. It is called the Relief Fact after

829
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:03,800
Speaker 2: Political Pain of the Week. If you listen to the

830
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:07,240
Speaker 2: show regularly, you know that we're big fans of Relief Factor,

831
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:12,000
Speaker 2: and Jared and I were talking, and we thought Relief

832
00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:15,480
Speaker 2: Factors should really sponsor the political pain of the week.

833
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 2: And boy, there's a lot of political pains out there.

834
00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:20,440
Speaker 2: Every week we're going to highlight a person, a politician,

835
00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:25,279
Speaker 2: or an organization somebody that is causing pain to the

836
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:29,560
Speaker 2: American people. Now you've heard us talking about the inaugural

837
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:33,040
Speaker 2: winner all week, and you heard this week from our

838
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:36,160
Speaker 2: friend at the Daily Caller, jorheve N Tura, who was

839
00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:42,520
Speaker 2: assaulted by these people, the inaugural winners of the Relief

840
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:44,200
Speaker 2: Factor Pain of the Week. In fact, let's take a

841
00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:46,000
Speaker 2: look at that assault. Here's cut seventeen.

842
00:48:46,960 --> 00:49:01,799
Speaker 18: You can't assault me, yeppart Man, So they're assaulting me

843
00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:06,160
Speaker 18: and my photo journalists got it all on video day,

844
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:09,160
Speaker 18: actually trying to steal my phone but unsuccessful.

845
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:11,920
Speaker 2: And you gonna be got blessed all over there Internet, buddy.

846
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:16,680
Speaker 2: You've seen the videos of these people pulling over random

847
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:20,880
Speaker 2: drivers and harassing them. The inaugural winner of the Relief

848
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:25,040
Speaker 2: Factor Pain of the Week the Ice Watch street blockade

849
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:29,640
Speaker 2: people in Minnesota. Because look, these blockade freaks aren't just

850
00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:33,160
Speaker 2: a pain to me as someone who respects the rule

851
00:49:33,160 --> 00:49:35,640
Speaker 2: of law, and they aren't just a pain to the

852
00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:38,600
Speaker 2: law enforcement officers who are being harassed and have to

853
00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:41,799
Speaker 2: spend their time cleaning up their mess. They are a

854
00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:45,239
Speaker 2: major pain to the average people of Minneapolis who just

855
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:49,040
Speaker 2: want to get to work, get to the grocery wherever,

856
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:52,200
Speaker 2: and live their lives. Can you imagine, by the way,

857
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:55,840
Speaker 2: how frustrating it must be to deal with these loonies.

858
00:49:56,480 --> 00:49:59,240
Speaker 2: You're out there, you're driving, some random person with wood

859
00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:02,360
Speaker 2: palettes and a clip board pulling you over for no reason.

860
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:05,120
Speaker 2: They tell you, hey, your license plate popped up in

861
00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:07,880
Speaker 2: our so called system. We had to stop you and

862
00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:10,839
Speaker 2: talk to you. Look, these are not observers, they are

863
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:16,560
Speaker 2: not protesters. They are they're radical lunatics, and they are

864
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:19,520
Speaker 2: here to make life harder for everyday citizens in Minneapolis.

865
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:22,399
Speaker 2: They just want to disrupt your life. I guess they're

866
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:25,360
Speaker 2: bored and they have nothing better to do. This is

867
00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:27,920
Speaker 2: the purpose of most of these agitators in Minneapolis. They

868
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:31,400
Speaker 2: want to cause chaos. And let's be honest, these people

869
00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:35,360
Speaker 2: are too dumb to recognize that while they are simultaneously

870
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:38,839
Speaker 2: lobbying for open borders, they have literally created their own

871
00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:45,080
Speaker 2: border checkpoints. And that is why they are my relief factor.

872
00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:47,839
Speaker 2: Pain of the week now. If you're dealing with pain,

873
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:53,239
Speaker 2: for real pain, you should dial up Relief Factor. They've

874
00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:55,560

902
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:35,399
Speaker 2: sale common sense for the American people. I gotta tell

903
00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:38,080
Speaker 2: you I did not I didn't believe this when I

904
00:52:38,120 --> 00:52:39,560
Speaker 2: saw it. I thought this has got to be one

905
00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:43,319
Speaker 2: of those things that somebody created on the Internet to

906
00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:46,680
Speaker 2: take advantage of a news cycle. Did you know that?

907
00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:51,560
Speaker 2: In twenty twenty one, the Washington Post ran a story

908
00:52:52,719 --> 00:52:56,759
Speaker 2: and the headline of the story was the racist legacy.

909
00:52:57,080 --> 00:53:03,320
Speaker 2: Many birds carry birds and there is a picture on

910
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:06,880
Speaker 2: the story of a bird. It's red. The bird is

911
00:53:06,920 --> 00:53:14,600
Speaker 2: called Jamison's firefinch, and literally the subheadline is the birding

912
00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:20,320
Speaker 2: community faces a difficult debate about the names of species

913
00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:27,799
Speaker 2: connected to enslavers, supremacists, and grave robbers. They literally ran

914
00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:32,239
Speaker 2: a story saying bird watching is racist. This was in

915
00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:34,439
Speaker 2: the Washington POSTE. Just when I was starting to feel

916
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:37,920
Speaker 2: bad for all these journalists who got laid off, I

917
00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:42,680
Speaker 2: remembered they once wrote a story that said birds are racists.

918
00:53:42,719 --> 00:53:46,000
Speaker 2: To discuss that and more, it's time for Friday punditry.

919
00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:49,839
Speaker 2: My guest is my friend from Indiana. Pete Seat is here.

920
00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:52,880
Speaker 2: You see Pete on TV, on CNN sometimes and other places.

922

Speaker 2: of Indiana. Pete c. Welcome to the Scott Jennings Show.

Speaker 2: It's a pleasure to be here.

925
00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:08,040
Speaker 12: That introduction was not as gushing as the one you

926
00:54:08,080 --> 00:54:11,799
Speaker 12: gave Officer Tatum last week, but I'll take it well.

927

929
00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:22,840
Speaker 2: amazing cars. He's promised to drive me around Scottsdale. I forget.

930
00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:24,759
Speaker 2: I think it's a Rolls Royce. I've never been in

931
00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:27,920
Speaker 2: a car like what Officer Tat. You've got a whole garage. Anyway,

932
00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:30,600
Speaker 2: if you offer to take me around Indiana and a

933
00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:33,520
Speaker 2: Rolls Royce, you'll get a better introduction next time, Pete.

934
00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:36,000
Speaker 2: Set that's all I'm saying. All right, let's do Friday

935
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:39,680
Speaker 2: Puggatry and I started by describing what's going on at

936
00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:42,759
Speaker 2: the Washington Post. Pete, you're kind of a media pro

937
00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:46,759
Speaker 2: journalist analyst type. How did all the layoffs that the

938
00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:49,399
Speaker 2: Post hit you and all the reaction to it? What's

939
00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:50,279
Speaker 2: on your mind about it?

940
00:54:51,560 --> 00:54:57,319
Speaker 12: Well, first off, I'm tired of the entitlement attitude in

941
00:54:57,600 --> 00:55:02,440
Speaker 12: journalism today and the belief that they should not be

942
00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:05,640
Speaker 12: touched and that they should not have to suffer the

943
00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:10,439
Speaker 12: reality of market consequences. If the Washington Post or any

944
00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:14,840
Speaker 12: other outlet is not making money, you can't have a

945
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:20,960
Speaker 12: bloated staff making massive salaries on their balance sheets. And

946
00:55:21,040 --> 00:55:24,640
Speaker 12: so Jeff Bezos and the leadership there are making decisions

947
00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:28,160
Speaker 12: that they think are in the right interests, the interests

948
00:55:28,160 --> 00:55:30,960
Speaker 12: of the Washington Post and being able to have a

949
00:55:31,080 --> 00:55:35,040
Speaker 12: viable financial product on their hands. But you know, I

950
00:55:35,080 --> 00:55:38,600
Speaker 12: feel bad for anyone who is laid off. But when

951
00:55:38,640 --> 00:55:41,759
Speaker 12: I listen to some of these reporters talk about their

952
00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:46,120
Speaker 12: jobs as if they are the last line of defense

953
00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:49,040
Speaker 12: between today and anarchy.

954
00:55:49,239 --> 00:55:52,040
Speaker 2: It just makes me want to roll my eyes. Well,

955
00:55:52,080 --> 00:55:55,160
Speaker 2: you know what they say, democracy dies in bird watching.

956
00:55:55,440 --> 00:55:59,160
Speaker 2: That was the motto at the Washington Post. And you know,

957
00:55:59,239 --> 00:56:01,839
Speaker 2: I also just this story is interesting because you look

958
00:56:01,840 --> 00:56:05,520
Speaker 2: at the commentary pete of these liberals who are whining

959
00:56:05,560 --> 00:56:08,560
Speaker 2: and gnashing teeth about this, it's evident a couple of things.

960
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:13,239
Speaker 2: One they don't actually believe in for profit businesses, like

961
00:56:13,320 --> 00:56:17,040
Speaker 2: a newspaper is a for profit business, and there is

962
00:56:17,040 --> 00:56:21,480
Speaker 2: some expectation that because Jeff Bezos owns it, he is bound,

963
00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:25,840
Speaker 2: duty bound or honor bound to fund a money losing

964
00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:30,880
Speaker 2: business in perpetuity. They don't actually understand the thing called

965
00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:34,920
Speaker 2: free market. They think journalism should be immune from market forces.

966
00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:36,960
Speaker 2: But that's just that's not the way it works. I

967
00:56:36,960 --> 00:56:38,840
Speaker 2: am quite sure there's a way to run a profitable

968
00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:43,120
Speaker 2: newspaper in Washington, DC, and they probably should try that,

969
00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:43,839
Speaker 2: don't you think?

970
00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:45,480
Speaker 12: Yeah?

971
00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:46,640
Speaker 2: They should, absolutely should.

972
00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:48,839
Speaker 12: I mean, look the New York Times, and we can

973
00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:51,759
Speaker 12: all have our arguments and disagreements with some of the

974
00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:55,800
Speaker 12: covers that comes from that paper, but they're doing really,

975
00:56:55,880 --> 00:56:59,759
Speaker 12: really well. The Washington Post not doing as well. I

976
00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:02,960
Speaker 12: can't remember exactly how much money they lost last year,

977
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:07,600
Speaker 12: but it was massive and you said it perfectly well, Scott.

978
00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:10,439
Speaker 12: It's the free market. But there are far too many

979
00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:12,920
Speaker 12: on the left, far too many Democrats who don't believe

980
00:57:12,920 --> 00:57:16,520
Speaker 12: in the free market in their minds. The government should

981
00:57:16,520 --> 00:57:19,880
Speaker 12: be funding all media. We saw the reaction to the

982
00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:24,720
Speaker 12: cuts at PBS and MPR. Everyone's hair was on fire

983
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:29,600
Speaker 12: over those decisions that were made. But audiences are not

984
00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:33,440
Speaker 12: tuning into PBS and NPR. They're not picking up a

985
00:57:33,480 --> 00:57:37,080
Speaker 12: copy of The Washington Post or getting an online subscription

986
00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:39,760
Speaker 12: to the Washington Post. They're listening to shows like the

987
00:57:39,800 --> 00:57:44,400
Speaker 12: Scott Jennings Show and tuning into online outlets where they

988
00:57:44,480 --> 00:57:47,320
Speaker 12: get news that they can trust and that they believe

989
00:57:47,480 --> 00:57:48,040
Speaker 12: is accurate.

990
00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:53,760
Speaker 2: Pete Seat from Indiana is our pundit of the week. Pete,

991
00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:58,320
Speaker 2: let us shift gears and talk about the Commonwealth of Virginia.

992
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:03,400
Speaker 2: Our friend virtual friend, Steve Guest had an interesting post

993
00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:07,760
Speaker 2: on X Today. He said, for those keeping score at home,

994
00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:14,160
Speaker 2: the first bills going to new Governor Abigail Spanberger include

995
00:58:14,160 --> 00:58:18,800
Speaker 2: bills to allow felons and the mentally incompetent to vote,

996
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:23,400
Speaker 2: gay marriage, abortion up to the moment of birth, and

997
00:58:23,720 --> 00:58:27,400
Speaker 2: jerry mandering funding. These are the first bills that the

998
00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:29,600
Speaker 2: new governor will sign into law. Now, Pete, I was

999
00:58:29,640 --> 00:58:33,920
Speaker 2: told that her entire focus was on affordability. Do you

1000
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:37,640
Speaker 2: hear any affordability in the initial legislation that the new

1001
00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:41,360
Speaker 2: governor of Virginia is signing. I certainly don't. Zero.

1002
00:58:41,720 --> 00:58:45,520
Speaker 12: It sounds like a lot of wish list politics for liberals,

1003
00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:49,880
Speaker 12: and this is the danger Scott with labels in politics.

1004
00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:53,320
Speaker 12: The former governor of my home state of Indiana, Mitch Daniels,

1005
00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:56,280
Speaker 12: was no fan of labels, because you know, you could

1006
00:58:56,320 --> 00:58:59,400
Speaker 12: call yourself a liberal or conservative, or your opposition can

1007
00:58:59,480 --> 00:59:02,880
Speaker 12: use those las and it's not necessarily accurate. That is

1008
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:08,760
Speaker 12: absolutely true in this case. The supposed moderate governor of Virginia.

1009
00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:13,440
Speaker 12: Maybe she's moderate in tone, maybe she's really nice pressing

1010
00:59:13,520 --> 00:59:17,880
Speaker 12: the flesh and doing retail politics. But moderate in tone

1011
00:59:18,040 --> 00:59:22,560
Speaker 12: and in personality does not equate to moderation in policy,

1012
00:59:22,920 --> 00:59:26,680
Speaker 12: and Virginians are learning that now, and the joke, unfortunately,

1013
00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:27,280
Speaker 12: is on them.

1014
00:59:28,280 --> 00:59:30,240
Speaker 2: I want to ask you about another story, a little

1015
00:59:30,240 --> 00:59:32,800
Speaker 2: bit of a breaking news story out of Virginia. Democrats

1016
00:59:32,840 --> 00:59:37,760
Speaker 2: there have finalized their redistricting map, and in a state

1017
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:41,520
Speaker 2: that is basically just off of fifty to fifty, it's

1018
00:59:41,520 --> 00:59:44,520
Speaker 2: a little tilted blue, but it's effectively a split state.

1019
00:59:45,400 --> 00:59:48,080
Speaker 2: You're going to have a congressional delegation that is ten

1020
00:59:48,120 --> 00:59:52,680
Speaker 2: Democrats and one Republican. Now might hit a little close

1021
00:59:52,760 --> 00:59:54,960
Speaker 2: to home, Pete, but a lot of people in my

1022
00:59:55,080 --> 00:59:58,280
Speaker 2: social feed are saying, oh, boy, isn't it great that

1023
00:59:58,360 --> 01:00:02,440
Speaker 2: the Indiana Republicans took the high road on redistricting only

1024
01:00:02,480 --> 01:00:05,800
Speaker 2: to see the Virginia Democrats take the low road here?

1025
01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:08,360
Speaker 2: When you saw the ten to one Virginia map, how

1026
01:00:08,360 --> 01:00:10,800
Speaker 2: did it make you feel? And how does it make

1027
01:00:10,840 --> 01:00:14,280
Speaker 2: us feel about what happened with the failure of Republicans

1028
01:00:14,280 --> 01:00:15,840
Speaker 2: in Indiana to do the same thing.

1029
01:00:17,520 --> 01:00:21,720
Speaker 12: Well, it's unsurprising because Democrats love taking the low road.

1030
01:00:22,360 --> 01:00:24,960
Speaker 12: What was it that Michelle Obama said, when they go low,

1031
01:00:25,040 --> 01:00:27,840
Speaker 12: we go high. Well, now it's when they go low,

1032
01:00:27,960 --> 01:00:32,200
Speaker 12: we go lower when it comes to Indiana. I know

1033
01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:36,200
Speaker 12: a lot of people are focused on the rejection of

1034
01:00:36,320 --> 01:00:42,080
Speaker 12: re redistricting here and trying to analyze or determine why

1035
01:00:42,200 --> 01:00:46,320
Speaker 12: it happened and what I've been saying, Scott for weeks

1036
01:00:46,360 --> 01:00:50,040
Speaker 12: and months now, in talking to especially the state senators

1037
01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:54,920
Speaker 12: who voted no is this was the tension between a

1038
01:00:54,960 --> 01:01:01,160
Speaker 12: flirtation with politics and a fidelity to principle. The political

1039
01:01:01,240 --> 01:01:04,120
Speaker 12: argument is a really easy and emotional one. To make

1040
01:01:04,440 --> 01:01:07,040
Speaker 12: you want more seats, you go draw a map that

1041
01:01:07,280 --> 01:01:12,200
Speaker 12: is favorable to your political interests. The principal argument is

1042
01:01:12,480 --> 01:01:16,680
Speaker 12: a really really steep hill to climb in this environment,

1043
01:01:17,040 --> 01:01:22,160
Speaker 12: because well, it presupposes that you are principled in some

1044
01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:26,880
Speaker 12: way and that you maintain those principles as well. And

1045
01:01:27,040 --> 01:01:29,800
Speaker 12: when you talk to those senators, they will tell you, hey,

1046
01:01:30,840 --> 01:01:33,760
Speaker 12: if you want to win, you just have to run

1047
01:01:33,840 --> 01:01:38,800
Speaker 12: better campaigns and you have to deliver better results to people,

1048
01:01:38,920 --> 01:01:42,760
Speaker 12: and you will be rewarded election after election season. You

1049
01:01:42,840 --> 01:01:46,200
Speaker 12: don't have to be artists in map making, and they

1050
01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:49,000
Speaker 12: feel very strongly about that. If you look at our map,

1051
01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:52,800
Speaker 12: which has been rated the least jerrymandered in the country,

1052
01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:55,680
Speaker 12: which I think is a really silly way of describing it,

1053
01:01:55,720 --> 01:01:59,920
Speaker 12: I would just say, not jerrymandered. It maintains communities of interest,

1054
01:02:00,560 --> 01:02:05,400
Speaker 12: it respects existing boundaries, and the districts are very compact.

1055
01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:09,600
Speaker 12: They're not politicized. This is a Republican state, a conservative state,

1056
01:02:09,680 --> 01:02:14,760
Speaker 12: so obviously we're going to have majorities. But because Republicans deliver,

1057
01:02:15,120 --> 01:02:18,560
Speaker 12: we have super majorities. We've had a Republican governor for

1058
01:02:18,600 --> 01:02:21,600
Speaker 12: twenty one years now, which is a record. We've had

1059
01:02:21,640 --> 01:02:23,800
Speaker 12: a super majority in the state Senate since twenty ten,

1060
01:02:23,880 --> 01:02:26,880
Speaker 12: a super majority in the state House since twenty twelve.

1061
01:02:27,120 --> 01:02:30,640
Speaker 12: And that's not because of artful map making. That's because

1062
01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:34,840
Speaker 12: of delivering on Republican promises that are made. So I

1063
01:02:34,840 --> 01:02:37,040
Speaker 12: know there's a lot of people out there who are upset,

1064
01:02:37,560 --> 01:02:41,920
Speaker 12: but these state senators who cast that no vote feel

1065
01:02:42,120 --> 01:02:45,600
Speaker 12: very strongly that they did the right thing, and they're

1066
01:02:45,680 --> 01:02:48,520
Speaker 12: confident that they will be rewarded at the ballot box.

1067
01:02:49,480 --> 01:02:52,000
Speaker 2: I don't know, Pete. We'll see how good they feel

1068
01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:54,080
Speaker 2: when we're all in the re education camps after the

1069
01:02:54,120 --> 01:02:56,360
Speaker 2: Democrats take the House in November. All Right, one more

1070
01:02:56,360 --> 01:02:59,000
Speaker 2: thing out of Virginia. Let's play cut ten. This is

1071
01:02:59,040 --> 01:03:02,640
Speaker 2: span Berger branding about ending her state's cooperation with Ice.

1072
01:03:02,720 --> 01:03:03,080
Speaker 2: Cut ten.

1073
01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:08,560
Speaker 8: First of all, your decision about ICE. What brought you

1074
01:03:08,800 --> 01:03:09,680
Speaker 8: to that decision?

1075
01:03:11,920 --> 01:03:15,280
Speaker 13: Well, importantly, on my first stay in office, I said

1076
01:03:15,320 --> 01:03:19,480
Speaker 13: that I rescinded my predecessor's executive order and stated that

1077
01:03:19,600 --> 01:03:23,120
Speaker 13: no longer were these relationships mandated. And then I took

1078
01:03:23,960 --> 01:03:26,520
Speaker 13: a full review of the existence of two to eighty

1079
01:03:26,560 --> 01:03:29,920
Speaker 13: seven g agreements across the Commonwealth of Virginia to have

1080
01:03:29,960 --> 01:03:31,720
Speaker 13: a full picture of what it is that we would

1081
01:03:31,720 --> 01:03:36,080
Speaker 13: be walking away from. And yesterday I issued an executive

1082
01:03:36,160 --> 01:03:37,760
Speaker 13: order and an executive directive.

1083
01:03:39,360 --> 01:03:42,840
Speaker 2: Okay, so Spanberger is ending cooperation with Ice. Again, not

1084
01:03:42,880 --> 01:03:45,280
Speaker 2: a moderate position, Pete, I'll give you forty five seconds

1085
01:03:45,360 --> 01:03:46,360
Speaker 2: on it and we'll take a break.

1086
01:03:47,160 --> 01:03:50,080
Speaker 12: No, this is another Democrat that does not want to

1087
01:03:50,240 --> 01:03:54,760
Speaker 12: enforce the laws of the United States of America. We

1088
01:03:54,920 --> 01:03:58,840
Speaker 12: just saw in Indiana this week with an illegal immigrant

1089
01:03:59,080 --> 01:04:02,520
Speaker 12: who killed a Hoosier motorists on the road. It also

1090
01:04:02,680 --> 01:04:05,600
Speaker 12: happened back in October up in northwest Indiana. It happened

1091
01:04:05,600 --> 01:04:08,760
Speaker 12: in November, not far from the incident that occurred this week.

1092
01:04:08,800 --> 01:04:11,760
Speaker 12: It happened in Indianapolis in a hit and run back

1093
01:04:11,800 --> 01:04:15,720
Speaker 12: in December. Every case the same illegal immigrants behind the

1094
01:04:15,720 --> 01:04:18,120
Speaker 12: wheel who shouldn't have been in the United States to

1095
01:04:18,200 --> 01:04:21,960
Speaker 12: begin with. And this governor wants that to continue. And

1096
01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:23,160
Speaker 12: it's sickening to watch.

1097
01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:26,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's I think this is going to come back

1098
01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:30,760
Speaker 2: to bite them in the rear. This anti ice, defund ice.

1099
01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:34,480
Speaker 2: I mean, all this energy they spend on keeping violent

1100
01:04:35,360 --> 01:04:38,520
Speaker 2: and destructive illegal aliens in these communities. I don't think

1101
01:04:38,520 --> 01:04:40,760
Speaker 2: it's going to go over very well. And I think

1102
01:04:40,760 --> 01:04:42,600
Speaker 2: there's been a lot of polling this week that shows

1103
01:04:42,640 --> 01:04:46,680
Speaker 2: that yes, people did, in fact vote for mass deportations.

1104
01:04:46,760 --> 01:04:48,880
Speaker 2: Are Pundit of the week is Pete Steed of Indiana.

1105
01:04:48,960 --> 01:04:50,600
Speaker 2: He'll be back in just a moment. Let me give

1106

Speaker 2: you a quick word from our buddies over at Really Factor.

1108
01:04:58,560 --> 01:05:01,919
Speaker 2: eighty five years old. Pain was keeping him from riding

1109
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:04,880
Speaker 2: his bike and flying small aircraft. That's what he liked

1110
01:05:04,920 --> 01:05:07,920
Speaker 2: to do. But he starts taking Relief Factor. All of

1111

01:05:12,840 --> 01:05:18,560
Speaker 2: long standing trigger finger issues improving. I'm getting all these

1113
01:05:18,640 --> 01:05:22,640

1128
01:06:10,120 --> 01:06:15,560
Speaker 2: Watching the stock ticker Here at the Scott Jennings Show,

1129
01:06:15,680 --> 01:06:20,360
Speaker 2: the Dow Jones Industrial Average has surged more than one

1130
01:06:20,400 --> 01:06:24,600
Speaker 2: thousand points today and for the first time in history,

1131
01:06:25,160 --> 01:06:28,120
Speaker 2: the Dow is now over fifty thousand as I look

1132
01:06:28,160 --> 01:06:32,920
Speaker 2: at it right now, fifty thousand and sixteen point thirty seven,

1133
01:06:33,080 --> 01:06:36,880
Speaker 2: So a big day on the stock market. We're doing

1134
01:06:36,920 --> 01:06:40,320
Speaker 2: Friday punditry here on the Scott Jennings Show. It's common

1135
01:06:40,320 --> 01:06:42,680
Speaker 2: sense for the American people are pundit of the week.

1136
01:06:43,240 --> 01:06:48,320
Speaker 2: My buddy from Indiana and fellow traveler in Republican politics,

1137
01:06:48,320 --> 01:06:50,960
Speaker 2: his name is Pete C. Pete. It is our tradition

1138
01:06:51,560 --> 01:06:54,440
Speaker 2: to ask our pundit of the week to tell us

1139
01:06:55,040 --> 01:06:57,400
Speaker 2: who won the week in politics. You tell me who

1140
01:06:57,400 --> 01:07:00,440
Speaker 2: won the week, and I will tell you who law week.

1141
01:07:00,520 --> 01:07:02,200
Speaker 2: Pete C. Winner of the week.

1142
01:07:03,120 --> 01:07:05,360
Speaker 12: Well, I wanted to say the winner of the week

1143
01:07:05,440 --> 01:07:09,840
Speaker 12: was Speaker Mike Johnson for holding the Republican Caucus together

1144
01:07:10,400 --> 01:07:14,200
Speaker 12: yet again, because it drives me crazy. Nancy Pelosi was

1145
01:07:14,320 --> 01:07:17,160
Speaker 12: very skilled at that, Scott and she got all tons

1146
01:07:17,200 --> 01:07:20,760
Speaker 12: of credit for her iron fist. But because Mike Johnson

1147
01:07:20,840 --> 01:07:24,680
Speaker 12: does it with a velvet glove, he gets absolutely no credit.

1148
01:07:24,720 --> 01:07:26,840
Speaker 12: So I want to at least give him an honorable mention.

1149
01:07:27,160 --> 01:07:29,960
Speaker 12: But I think the big winner is Venezuela. You may

1150
01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:35,320
Speaker 12: have seen this interview with Politico that Maria Corina Machado did,

1151
01:07:35,880 --> 01:07:40,000
Speaker 12: and she said that she believes an election could take

1152
01:07:40,080 --> 01:07:45,040
Speaker 12: place in Venezuela by the end of the year. An

1153
01:07:45,040 --> 01:07:50,960
Speaker 12: election run with integrity, a legitimate democracy, with leadership chosen

1154
01:07:51,000 --> 01:07:54,200
Speaker 12: by the people. That is a win for Venezuela, a

1155
01:07:54,240 --> 01:07:57,400
Speaker 12: win for South America, a win for the Western hemisphere,

1156
01:07:57,600 --> 01:08:01,360
Speaker 12: and a win for Donald Trump and a American foreign policy.

1157
01:08:02,400 --> 01:08:04,800
Speaker 2: All Right, I will do the loser of the week,

1158
01:08:04,840 --> 01:08:07,200
Speaker 2: and I'm going to inform the control room. I'm calling

1159
01:08:07,200 --> 01:08:12,520
Speaker 2: an audible. I had been thinking all day that I

1160
01:08:12,600 --> 01:08:16,080
Speaker 2: was going to do this Boxer Emman Khalif, who turns

1161
01:08:16,080 --> 01:08:17,880
Speaker 2: out was really a dude who likes to beat the

1162
01:08:17,880 --> 01:08:20,439
Speaker 2: crap out of women. But I already ranted about this today,

1163
01:08:21,680 --> 01:08:24,559
Speaker 2: and it reminded me that I haven't really gotten a

1164
01:08:24,640 --> 01:08:30,280
Speaker 2: chance to pummel all that much. Chuck Schumer for literally

1165
01:08:30,400 --> 01:08:35,320
Speaker 2: taking the twenty of another eighty twenty issue in American politics.

1166
01:08:35,400 --> 01:08:39,240
Speaker 2: Chuck Schumer Pete has spent all week railing against the

1167
01:08:39,360 --> 01:08:44,080
Speaker 2: Save America Act and railing against the concept of having

1168
01:08:44,120 --> 01:08:47,080
Speaker 2: to show your ID when you vote. In fact, Chuck

1169
01:08:47,120 --> 01:08:51,080
Speaker 2: Schumer has called this Jim Crow two point oh. First

1170
01:08:51,080 --> 01:08:54,440
Speaker 2: of all, I quibble with the math. Every time Democrats

1171
01:08:54,479 --> 01:08:56,920
Speaker 2: call something Jim Crow, they always say Jim Crow two

1172
01:08:56,960 --> 01:08:59,760
Speaker 2: point oh. We're at least on Jim Crow eighteen point

1173
01:08:59,840 --> 01:09:03,080
Speaker 2: h right now after all the new Jim Crows. But

1174
01:09:03,160 --> 01:09:06,360
Speaker 2: the real losing position for Schumer Pete, in my opinion,

1175
01:09:07,240 --> 01:09:10,360
Speaker 2: is that it's truly an eighty twenty issue. Eighty three

1176
01:09:10,400 --> 01:09:13,519
Speaker 2: percent of the American people think you should show ID.

1177
01:09:13,680 --> 01:09:18,960
Speaker 2: To vote, including seventy six percent of African Americans think

1178
01:09:19,000 --> 01:09:22,160
Speaker 2: you should show ID to vote. It's an eighty twenty issue,

1179
01:09:22,760 --> 01:09:25,879
Speaker 2: and once again, Pete, I think the Democrats in America

1180
01:09:25,960 --> 01:09:29,679
Speaker 2: have gotten on the wrong side of an eighty twenty issue.

1181
01:09:30,000 --> 01:09:32,000
Speaker 2: How did you react to Schumer this week? He went

1182
01:09:32,040 --> 01:09:35,040
Speaker 2: with his Jim Crow crap all week long. I honestly

1183
01:09:35,080 --> 01:09:35,760
Speaker 2: couldn't believe it.

1184
01:09:37,040 --> 01:09:39,400
Speaker 12: I wish you could see my notes that I typed

1185
01:09:39,439 --> 01:09:42,080
Speaker 12: up for myself, Scott, because I literally said, on this

1186
01:09:42,240 --> 01:09:46,559
Speaker 12: topic if it came up, Scott, you love eighty twenty issues,

1187
01:09:46,600 --> 01:09:49,400
Speaker 12: and this is an eighty twenty issue in which the

1188
01:09:49,479 --> 01:09:53,519
Speaker 12: Democrats are taking the twenty yet again. The state of

1189
01:09:53,560 --> 01:09:56,639
Speaker 12: Indiana was a pioneer on voter ID. In fact, our

1190
01:09:57,000 --> 01:10:00,000
Speaker 12: voter ID law went to the US Supreme Court.

1191
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:00,959
Speaker 2: And it was upheld.

1192
01:10:01,439 --> 01:10:06,160
Speaker 12: I just struggle to understand why we wouldn't want to

1193
01:10:06,280 --> 01:10:09,920
Speaker 12: assure and know with certainty that people are who they

1194
01:10:09,960 --> 01:10:12,720
Speaker 12: say they are when they show up to vote. It

1195
01:10:12,760 --> 01:10:15,920
Speaker 12: shouldn't be that difficult, But for Democrats, they just have

1196
01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:19,719
Speaker 12: to be against everything that Donald Trump stands for, even

1197
01:10:19,720 --> 01:10:21,200
Speaker 12: when it's an eighty twenty issue.

1198
01:10:21,840 --> 01:10:23,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think in this case, Pete, it goes a

1199
01:10:23,800 --> 01:10:27,840
Speaker 2: little further because the Democrats have always opposed voter ID.

1200
01:10:28,720 --> 01:10:31,720
Speaker 2: There's a reason for that. There's a reason, Pete, that

1201
01:10:32,520 --> 01:10:35,679
Speaker 2: you would oppose having to show citizenship to be registered

1202
01:10:35,720 --> 01:10:39,040
Speaker 2: to vote. There's a reason that you would oppose having

1203
01:10:39,080 --> 01:10:41,599
Speaker 2: people show ID. By the way, there's also a reason

1204
01:10:41,640 --> 01:10:44,439
Speaker 2: that you would oppose states having to clean up their

1205
01:10:44,520 --> 01:10:48,720
Speaker 2: voter roles. Democrats, of course, oppose all these things. There

1206
01:10:48,720 --> 01:10:50,559
Speaker 2: are reasons. If you just think about it for a

1207
01:10:50,600 --> 01:10:54,080
Speaker 2: couple of seconds, you could figure it out. Pete's set

1208
01:10:54,439 --> 01:10:56,960
Speaker 2: Pundit of the Week from Indiana. Honored to have you here.

1209

01:10:59,120 --> 01:11:03,320
