And 17 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:07,040 Speaker 1: Donald Trump says he is pausing strikes on energy infrastructure 18 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:11,399 Speaker 1: due to some negotiations to possibly end the war. All 19 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,120 Speaker 1: of this and more coming up on today's show. It 20 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 1: is Monday, March to twenty third. You're listening to common 21 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,399 Speaker 1: Sense for the American people. I'm Scott Jennings reporting for 22 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 1: Salem and we broadcast live today from Louisville, Kentucky. National 23 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,120 Speaker 1: security expert Rebecca Heinrix will be along at twenty minutes 24 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 1: past the hour to talk Iran Chad Stall with the 25 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 1: TSA comes by at fifty minutes with the latest on 26 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 1: the airports, and later Congressman Jason Smith and Mike Lawler 27 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,399 Speaker 1: we'll talk about what's happening in Washington. 28 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 4: D C. 29 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: But first we begin with the news. Airport chaos continues 30 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 1: today across America, hit and miss for some travelers out there, 31 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 1: some places three to five hour lines, others it isn't 32 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: quite as bad. President Trump announced over the weekend that 33 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: ICE agents would show up in airports to assist with 34 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: line management. The plan is now in place and it 35 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: is working. Here's how CBS News called it in Atlanta today. 36 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,799 Speaker 1: Atlanta a particular troubled spot. Here's cut number two. 37 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 5: ICE agents have arrived within the hour and they are 38 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 5: assisting with line management and crowd control. And if you 39 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:24,920 Speaker 5: just take a look around me, you can see there's 40 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 5: a sea of lines. From the moment you walk into 41 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,359 Speaker 5: the front door, you can see several long lines all 42 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 5: leading back to TSA checkpoints. Over the weekend, the wait 43 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 5: times here at the airport was up to six hours 44 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 5: or some travelers. That's because a record number of TSA 45 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,359 Speaker 5: workers called out on Saturday alone, more than three thousand 46 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 5: did not show up. Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens says the 47 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 5: federal agents are here not to conduct immigration efforts. They 48 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,079 Speaker 5: will support TSA and report to them directly. We're told 49 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 5: ICE agents will work with the exit and check IDs 50 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 5: while TSA workers focus on X rays and other screenings 51 00:02:58,360 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 5: and over. 52 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 1: At BWI Airports in Baltimore, here's another CBS report on 53 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 1: passengers who were standing in line longer than they would 54 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,079 Speaker 1: ever spend on a plane. 55 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 2: Here's cut number three. 56 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 6: And some passengers waited more than ninety minutes just to 57 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,799 Speaker 6: get to the TSA checkpoint on Sunday, missing their flights altogether. 58 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 6: This comes just one day before ICE agents could deploy 59 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 6: to airports nationwide. 60 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 4: This is absolutely ridiculous. I thought I was coming for 61 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 4: a quick day trip. Apparently not. 62 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 7: Rageius. My back is HEARDing. 63 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,959 Speaker 6: Some passengers spend more time standing in line for TSA 64 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 6: than they did flying on Sunday. 65 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 4: At BWI Third Marshall. 66 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 6: Airport, lines for TSA stretched from the C checkpoint down 67 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 6: the food court hallway and around the airline check encounters. 68 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 1: Of course, the TSA situation will only get worse as 69 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: long as Democrats continue to vote to keep the agency, 70 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: which is part of DHS, shut down. More and more 71 00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: TSA agents are about to miss their third paid they'll 72 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: have to call in sick or quit all together as 73 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: they take other jobs to make ends meet. And if 74 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: that isn't enough, the tragic crash this morning on the 75 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: tarmac at LaGuardia in New York is adding to an 76 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:17,479 Speaker 1: already stressful day for some of the nation's busiest airports. 77 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 1: A pilot and co pilot of an Air Canada jet 78 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: are dead. Several more people are injured at one of 79 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 1: the nation's busiest airports. It remains closed this afternoon as 80 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: of one o'clock Eastern and may remain that way for 81 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: a few more hours. 82 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 2: So what we have today airport chaos. 83 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 1: Another day of American misery brought to you by the 84 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: Democratic Party, where the strategy appears to be to cause 85 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,600 Speaker 1: you as much pain and suffering as possible, and then 86 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: look you dead in the eye and say, well, gee whiz, 87 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: we have no idea why this is happening. Must be 88 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: the Republicans. I guess. Just listen to House Democrat Jason Crowe, 89 00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: who said this on CBS Sunday Morning cut number one. 90 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 4: So we are ready to go. They are in control. 91 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,720 Speaker 4: Government are left stuck. 92 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 8: We're about to be in spring break heavy traffic. 93 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 4: I see the Republic. They are in control of every 94 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 4: element of government. They're in control of what we vote 95 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 4: for and don't vote for. We are saying, let's open. 96 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:16,720 Speaker 5: It back up. 97 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 2: Absolute gas lighting. 98 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: Democrats have repeatedly voted to keep DHS shut down. Democrat 99 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: after Democrat goes to the floor of the House and 100 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 1: the United States Senate and they vote time and again 101 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:36,279 Speaker 1: to keep DHS shut down. There are two parties here, folks. 102 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 1: One is repeatedly voting to inflict pain and suffering on 103 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:45,160 Speaker 1: American travelers, all because they want to throw a tantrum 104 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 1: over immigration enforcement. Remember that is the underlying issue here. 105 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:55,799 Speaker 1: The TSA shutdown is akin to Democratic radicals gluing themselves 106 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 1: to the middle of a freeway or invading an art 107 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:02,359 Speaker 1: museum and throwing oil on the paintings. It's nothing more 108 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,919 Speaker 1: than a tantrum, except it's no longer confined to just 109 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: a few crazy nutjobs. It is the new policy of 110 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: an entire political party to act this way and the issue. 111 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 1: The issue is immigration. Fundamentally, Democrats do not want there 112 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 1: to be any enforcement of our national immigration laws. None, zero, 113 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:29,280 Speaker 1: and of course that attitude continues to have deadly consequences 114 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,039 Speaker 1: for our country as well. Have you heard about the 115 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 1: tragic situation in Chicago this weekend? A young woman out 116 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 1: with friends just after one o'clock in the morning near 117 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:44,040 Speaker 1: the water on a cool Chicago night. Sheridan Gorman had 118 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 1: heard you might be able to see the northern lights 119 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,719 Speaker 1: at that hour, so she and her friends walked down 120 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: to the pier near Loyola University, where she was a freshman, 121 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:59,039 Speaker 1: to look up for something beautiful. Miss Gorman was a 122 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: young woman who her Fami family says made people seen 123 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 1: safe and loved. It was a life that was just beginning. 124 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: And then out of the darkness, a man approached. Police 125 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: say he opened fire into the group. Miss Gorman turned 126 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: to run, but she did not make it, shot in 127 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 1: the head, pronounced dead right there on the scene, just 128 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 1: steps from her campus. Authorities now say she was likely 129 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 1: not even the target, but she was there living her life, 130 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 1: a life that was taken by a Venezuelan national, an 131 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: illegal immigrant who should not have been in our country 132 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 1: at all. Jose Medina is his name. Caught at the 133 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 1: border in twenty twenty three and released into our country 134 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 1: by the Biden administration, he winds up in Chicago and 135 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: was later arrested for shoplifting. He did not show up 136 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: in court, of course, he remained free to roam our 137 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 1: streets thanks to Democratic politicians who want to invite and 138 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 1: keep as many violent and illegal aliens into our country 139 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: as possible. One deliberate policy decision after another designed to 140 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 1: keep a criminal alien here and put Miss Gorman and 141 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 1: all of you in grave danger one encounter, one decision 142 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 1: after another, until finally, a young woman looking up at. 143 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 2: The sky. 144 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: Never looked up again. And what is left a shattered family, 145 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 1: an empty chair in a classroom, and a voice that 146 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 1: no one will ever hear on this earth again. 147 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:42,079 Speaker 2: Tragic. 148 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 1: We don't have to live this way, folks. We do 149 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:48,679 Speaker 1: not have to live this way. And other news. Senator 150 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 1: Mark Wayne Mullen's nomination to lead the Department of Homeland 151 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:56,679 Speaker 1: Security advanced this weekend on the Senate floor by a 152 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 1: vote of fifty four to thirty seven. He got two 153 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 1: Democratic vot's actually final confirmation expected today or tomorrow. The 154 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 1: Trump administration is preparing to deport Kilmer Abrego Garcia. Finally, 155 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,959 Speaker 1: the government's asking a federal judge to lift an injunction 156 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 1: blocking the deportation of Garcia to Liberia. Officials argue the 157 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,559 Speaker 1: court overstepped its authority. They say preventing his removal is 158 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:26,319 Speaker 1: a clear error of law. The Justice Department says it's 159 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 1: ready to deport Abrego Garcia as soon as this legal 160 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:33,959 Speaker 1: barrier is removed. They're pushing for a decision by mid April. 161 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 1: You remember Kilmer Abrego Garcia in our country illegally for 162 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,080 Speaker 1: years and years, part of a MS thirteen gang, indicted 163 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: in a human trafficking case, abusive to his spouse. This 164 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 1: was the person the news media called the Maryland Man 165 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,559 Speaker 1: instead of what he is, which is an illegal alien 166 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 1: who has long overstayed his welcome in the United States. 167 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:59,560 Speaker 1: Let's talk about aches and pain. Since discovering relief Factor 168 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,959 Speaker 1: la Summer, I've been talking about it NonStop on the 169 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 1: radio because we and the Jennings household are quite happy 170 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,559 Speaker 1: with relief factor. That includes me also my father. Here 171 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 1: is something new that you need to know. From Relief Factor, 172 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 1: they are always improving and now they have added a 173 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 1: premium black pepper extract to the formula.

Bad incentives baked into Obamacare have sent cost soaring. 193 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: The rules are a maze of jargon, and people feel stuck. 194 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,319 Speaker 1: That's why I want to tell you about my new partner, Crowdhealth. 195 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 1: Crowdhealth is an insurance.

Rebecca, let's 226 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 1: get right into it. First things first, let's listen to 227 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 1: President Trump and Cut number twenty one. He has said 228 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 1: he'd like to pause strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure for 229 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 1: five days. 230 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 2: Here's the President and Cut twenty one. 231 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 3: So the discussions took place yesterday, They went into yesterday evening. 232 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,079 Speaker 4: They want very much to make a deal. 233 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 7: We'd like to make a deal too. 234 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 4: We're going to. 235 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 3: Get together today by probably phone, because it's very hard 236 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 3: to find a country. It's very hard for them to. 237 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,320 Speaker 4: Get out, I guess. 238 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,960 Speaker 3: But well, at some point, very soon meet we're. 239 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 1: Doing a five day parade. 240 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 3: We'll see how that goes, and then it goes, well, 241 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,839 Speaker 3: we're gonna end up with settling this. Otherwise we'll just 242 00:13:58,920 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 3: keep bombing our. 243 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:03,719 Speaker 1: Little Rebecca Heinrich, you heard the president. What do you 244 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:04,199 Speaker 1: make of it? 245 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 8: Well, look, it seems to me pretty clear as of 246 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 8: last week that President Trump is really pursuing this course 247 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 8: of strategy to get the Iran regime, whatever rump regime 248 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 8: is left in there, to stop threatening the Straight of Hormuz, 249 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 8: and so he with the Israelis have been threatening basically 250 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 8: to hit you know, these other energy markets inside Iran. 251 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 8: The GUS doesn't want to do that, Scott, because we 252 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 8: don't want to hurt the Iranian people. And like this, 253 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 8: this big L and G field that's connected with Cutter 254 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 8: provides eighty to ninety percent of the electricity domestically inside Iran. 255 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 8: So we don't want to do that, but we want 256 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 8: the Iranians to know that we can do that. And 257 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 8: so Trump, you know, he said today, look, we're going 258 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 8: to pause this, We're not going to hit these these 259 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 8: sensitive targets because we've got people not talking to us, 260 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 8: and we don't know a whole lot of details about 261 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 8: who he's specifically talking to. Because, as the President said today, 262 00:14:57,920 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 8: if he told us who he's talking to, that person's 263 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 8: life would be in danger. 264 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 1: So there are reports and Barack revied of Axios, and 265 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 1: you see him on CNN as well. He says that 266 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 1: an Israeli source has told him that the United States 267 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 1: envoys Witkoff and Kushner are negotiating with the speaker of 268 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 1: the Iranian Parliament, a man named Mohammed Bagar Galibov. I 269 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 1: don't know if you know anything about the speaker of 270 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 1: the Iranian Parliament, but in your opinion, would this be 271 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 1: someone that we could reliably negotiate with given that the 272 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 1: Supreme Leader, even though they say they have one, has 273 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 1: not been seen in public other than in cardboard cutout form. 274 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 8: So there's no way for us to know at this point. 275 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 8: But if President Trump, you know, I kind of was 276 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 8: sort of tongue in cheek thinking over the weekend, you know, 277 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 8: President Trump is with the Israelis. The United States is 278 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 8: essentially killing our way through the most radical Islamic Revolutionary 279 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 8: guardcore leaders and the besiege those the really bad guys 280 00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 8: who are repressing the Iranian people, killed a lot of people. 281 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 8: They're a paramilitary group underneath the IRGC. But you know, 282 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 8: but I said, look, they're looking for Mohammed Delsi Rodriguez. 283 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 8: They're looking for somebody who, in his heart of hearts, 284 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 8: might still be really bad, but wants to live more 285 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 8: than he wants to carry out the Islamic Revolution. So 286 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 8: anybody really will do as long as he's cooperative. So 287 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 8: this one guy that you just mentioned, Scott, you know, 288 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 8: he has a history of being corrupt, duplicitous, trying to 289 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 8: get close to the Supreme Leader. But you know, he's 290 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 8: a self he's kind of like a self promoting person. 291 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 8: And maybe though that that's advice, Maybe that a vice 292 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,120 Speaker 8: is less bad than somebody who's truly committed to the 293 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 8: Islamic Revolution, and it could be somebody willing to work 294 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 8: with the United States. 295 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 1: So based on the President's statements today and what he 296 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 1: I mean, he's clearly looking for a way to wind 297 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 1: this down and to do it on the terms that 298 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 1: we have always said, ending their terrorism ambitions, ending their 299 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 1: nuclear ambitions, et cetera, et cetera. We have seen some 300 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 1: positive maneuvering here the oil markets. Crude oil is down, 301 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,200 Speaker 1: It's about ninety dollars right now. Was one hundred a 302 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: little over one hundred dollars overnight. So we've seen a 303 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 1: big drop in oil right now. Dow Jones Industrial Average 304 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 1: right now up six hundred and thirty seven points. So 305 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 1: we see the energy and the financial markets responding, Rebecca, 306 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 1: to the President's statements today, they're choosing to interpret that 307 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 1: as Hey, the end may be in sight. Rebecca heinrichk 308 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,520 Speaker 1: is our guest. She's our national security expert. She is 309 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,200 Speaker 1: from the Hudson Institute. Rebecca, we're going to take a break, 310 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 1: but when we come back, what I want to talk 311 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 1: to you about are these longer range Iranian missiles that 312 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 1: we learned about over the weekend. Turns out they can 313 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:45,159 Speaker 1: hit most of Europe with missiles that previously I'm not 314 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 1: sure we knew all that much about. 315 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 2: All that and more coming up. 316 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 1: Next on the Scott Chenning Show. Gold and silver recently 317 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:55,040 Speaker 1: soared to record highs and then pulled back, so our 318 00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 1: precious metal still a goodbye. Many Wall Street experts predict 319 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,679 Speaker 1: higher price is ahead. Why well, because we still have 320 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:07,199 Speaker 1: trillions a national debt, a declining dollar, and inflation that 321 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 1: keeps shrinking our savings. Even with corrections along the way, 322 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:16,400 Speaker 1: gold remains a historical hedge for wealth protection. That's why 323 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 1: Morgan Stanley's chief investment officer ditched the sixty forty stocks 324 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 1: in bonds portfolio and is recommending up to twenty percent 325 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 1: in precious metals.

This 346 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:50,200 Speaker 1: was really a huge news because it turns out Iran 347 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,640 Speaker 1: is a much bigger threat to a lot more countries 348 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:53,960 Speaker 1: than people might have realized. 349 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 8: Right So, Scott, So, one thing to keep in mind 350 00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,719 Speaker 8: is that Iran was already just notoriously the country that 351 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:05,959 Speaker 8: had the most diverse, largest missile force in the region, 352 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 8: and it had been really working on this for years 353 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:13,440 Speaker 8: and years. Very controversial at the time that Obama negotiated 354 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 8: the Iran deal because he did not include its missile program. 355 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 8: So they've been allowed the Uranians have been essentially been 356 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 8: allowed to continue to develop it. But the United States 357 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:28,440 Speaker 8: official sort of public intelligence believed that Iran could hit 358 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 8: could range certain parts of Europe, but potentially not all 359 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,679 Speaker 8: the way to the UK. What we saw over the 360 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:38,360 Speaker 8: weekend was that the Iranians were able to They launched 361 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:42,960 Speaker 8: two missiles towards that island, Diego Garcia, where where the 362 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 8: United States has a base there, really important base where 363 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,359 Speaker 8: we've been conducting operations off that base. Now neither of 364 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:52,640 Speaker 8: those missiles hit Diego Garcia. One evidently didn't reach there, 365 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 8: splash them one in the ocean, and the other one 366 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 8: was evidently intercepted by one of our missile defense interceptors 367 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 8: off of a ship. But it does sort of lay 368 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 8: bare the sort of notion that the Iranians had a 369 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,680 Speaker 8: more limited capability, and also it shows us how really 370 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 8: impossible it is to put these parameters on their missiles. 371 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 8: Because the Uranians they could use a lighter payload scot 372 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,399 Speaker 8: to sort of lift it, launch it higher and farther, 373 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 8: so they could take some of these launchers that we 374 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 8: thought maybe it was a medium range and extend them 375 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,200 Speaker 8: if they could lighten the load of the payload, which 376 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:30,400 Speaker 8: gives them a longer reach. Either way, it does kind 377 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,120 Speaker 8: of communicate to the Europeans say, look, this is your 378 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:34,840 Speaker 8: fight too. None of you are going to be able 379 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 8: to escape the reach of Iranian missiles. 380 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,679 Speaker 1: Well, let's talk about the reach, because they're talking about 381 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:45,720 Speaker 1: four thousand kilometers on these missiles. That is long enough 382 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:49,920 Speaker 1: to reach several European capitals, a lot of Africa. I mean, 383 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 1: we're talking about a significant number of targets and a 384 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,679 Speaker 1: lot of population that is now in range of some 385 00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 1: of these missiles. And oh, by the way, oh by 386 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 1: the way, this is from a regime that still says 387 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:07,640 Speaker 1: they possess enough nuclear material to make at least eleven warheads. 388 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,200 Speaker 1: I mean, this ought to straighten the Europeans up. They've 389 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 1: been a little reticent here, I think to get involved. 390 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,440 Speaker 1: But if that didn't straighten them up over the weekend, 391 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:15,640 Speaker 1: what in the world would, Rebecca. 392 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,359 Speaker 8: I think that that's right, and then also important to 393 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 8: keep in mind to your point about the nuclear program. 394 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 8: I mean, this is why I was so adamant that 395 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:25,639 Speaker 8: any kind of deal. I mean I never thought a 396 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,000 Speaker 8: deal was going to be possible with the Iranians, But 397 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:32,120 Speaker 8: any deal about their nuclear program had to include their missiles, 398 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,640 Speaker 8: because the missiles are the delivery systems for their nuclear weapons, 399 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:39,439 Speaker 8: and so it didn't make any sense to essentially relieve 400 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,880 Speaker 8: sanctions at all. In certain kinds or ranges of missiles 401 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:44,680 Speaker 8: for them to be able to continue to develop them, 402 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,399 Speaker 8: because you could then just build a nuclear you to 403 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,520 Speaker 8: have a nuclear breakout and then marry them with the 404 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:53,880 Speaker 8: ballistic missile. But I noticed that the UK Defense Secretary 405 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:58,159 Speaker 8: Heely did confirm that those launches did. They were shot 406 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:02,679 Speaker 8: from Iran towards Diego gart He described them as reckless, 407 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:06,160 Speaker 8: but not forcing the UK to have a response. Yet 408 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,680 Speaker 8: the UK is coming along though, Scott, I think they're 409 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 8: getting better. They're obviously letting the United States use Diego 410 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 8: Garcia now they didn't in the initial part of the conflict, 411 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:19,119 Speaker 8: and they're releasing our restrictions on how we can use it. 412 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 8: But we got to have I think President Trump is 413 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 8: right to pressure the Europeans to say, you may not 414 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 8: have wanted us to do this to begin with, but 415 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:29,199 Speaker 8: the fight is now. We're destroying an enemy that is 416 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,879 Speaker 8: a shared enemy, not just of US and the Israelis, 417 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 8: but of all of Europe. And it would be really 418 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,160 Speaker 8: great to have more of a coalition effort, especially when 419 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,200 Speaker 8: it comes to getting the Strait of Hormose. 420 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:44,640 Speaker 1: Open, finding out about these longer range missiles really obliterated. 421 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 1: I think Rebecca, the credibility of a lot of Democrats 422 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:52,400 Speaker 1: and media people who have staked their arguments and reputations 423 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,920 Speaker 1: on this idea that it Ran was not an imminent threat. Oh, 424 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 1: they just have short range missiles. They weren't bothering anyone. 425 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 1: Now we see they can and strike a good chunk 426 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 1: of Europe and a lot of other places. Do you 427 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,200 Speaker 1: think we're going to see any meya culpas any? 428 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 11: Oh? 429 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 1: Wow, gosh. I might have been wrong about that. And 430 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 1: you know, one thing about punditry and one thing about 431 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,680 Speaker 1: commentary during this war, it's been true from the beginning 432 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:20,400 Speaker 1: the president has access to more information than any of us, 433 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:24,199 Speaker 1: any Democrat in Congress, anyone that's out there talking about it. 434 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,200 Speaker 1: But in my opinion, there was a lot of very 435 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,160 Speaker 1: irresponsible talk from the Democrats, who of course just want 436 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:33,160 Speaker 1: to oppose Donald Trump at every turn. It turns out 437 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,880 Speaker 1: he was right about this. They were an imminent threat, 438 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 1: and not just to a handful of places in the 439 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,480 Speaker 1: Middle East, but to a lot of other populations and 440 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 1: a lot of other countries that frankly didn't line up 441 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 1: with us. 442 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:44,959 Speaker 2: In the beginning. 443 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 11: That's right. 444 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:50,440 Speaker 8: And also, you know, at the Iran regime just by 445 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:54,119 Speaker 8: having these capabilities, these missiles that can range that far. Obviously, 446 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 8: the President, I would presume already knew some of the 447 00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 8: capabilities they had that was not public. That gives the 448 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 8: Iranian a coercive ability, even if they don't launch them. 449 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 8: The fact that they have that capability means they would 450 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 8: have enormous leverage and power over these other countries, which 451 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,640 Speaker 8: should be intolerable. So the threat there was a constant 452 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 8: and ongoing threat from Iran. The other thing to keep 453 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,359 Speaker 8: in mind, which is very frustrating for me, when I 454 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 8: can continue to hear the Democrats say that the Iranians 455 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 8: don't have these longer range capabilities or they do not 456 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:26,120 Speaker 8: pose a direct threat to the United States. So remember 457 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 8: a space launch vehicle. So what the Iranians use to 458 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 8: launch satellites which they have been and by the way, 459 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:38,400 Speaker 8: it's the IRGC, the most militant pro Islamic Republic of Iran, 460 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:42,120 Speaker 8: a Revolutionary Guard Corps. Those were the men who were 461 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:46,919 Speaker 8: launching the satellites. That space launch program. That technology can 462 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:50,920 Speaker 8: be directly converted into an inner continental ballistic missile. Now 463 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,720 Speaker 8: we're talking about the Iranians potentially having the capability to 464 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 8: span all the way to the east coast of the 465 00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,920 Speaker 8: United States. So this is a missile program that you 466 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,240 Speaker 8: want to You want to end it, you want to 467 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,440 Speaker 8: dismantle it. You do not want to have a country 468 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:08,479 Speaker 8: like iron having this expansive capability. And as Secretary Rubio 469 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 8: has made clear, in the beginning of Epic Fury, we 470 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,439 Speaker 8: were watching the Iranians build out this ballistic missile program 471 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,879 Speaker 8: and I if it became too robust, it would make 472 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,120 Speaker 8: it harder for the United States to then be able 473 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 8: to destroy any kind of resumption of their nuclear aspect 474 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 8: of the program, and so we needed to get rid 475 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,879 Speaker 8: of it. And these other allies need to understand we 476 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 8: are helping them as well, and they should join the fight. 477 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:34,399 Speaker 1: Rebecca Heinrich's our guest, our national security expert from the 478 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:38,640 Speaker 1: Hudson Institute. The President has said a few things this morning, Rebecca, 479 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:42,880 Speaker 1: about what his demands for Iran would be to end this. 480 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 1: And it does, by the way, sound like at least 481 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,440 Speaker 1: some talks are going on between his envoys and some 482 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 1: people who are in the Iranian government. But here are 483 00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:54,399 Speaker 1: the six things the President said. No nuclear bomb, no 484 00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 1: nuclear weapon quote, not even close to it. Number two 485 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,680 Speaker 1: low key on the missiles. He said at number three 486 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,439 Speaker 1: piece in the Middle East. Number four we want the 487 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:07,879 Speaker 1: nuclear dust. Number five, no enrichment. Number six, we want 488 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 1: the enriched uranium, which the Iranians told his envoy. 489 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 2: Witcough that they still possessed. 490 00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:15,600 Speaker 1: And then he said, if this happens, it's a great 491 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:17,880 Speaker 1: start for a Ran to build itself back, and it's 492 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:21,040 Speaker 1: everything that we want. In your opinion, is there any 493 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:25,200 Speaker 1: way the Iranian regime as it is currently constituted, which 494 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 1: I recognize maybe a hard question to answer, Is there 495 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:31,159 Speaker 1: any way they'll ever agree to the President's demands here. 496 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 8: Rebecca, only if you can get to that layer of 497 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:40,240 Speaker 8: Iranians who have the ability to deliver on those issues 498 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:45,160 Speaker 8: that President Trump is demanding, and will they want to survive? 499 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 8: I mean, this is clearly President Trump in the Israelis 500 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 8: strategy here, which is you know, as President Trump said 501 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:56,080 Speaker 8: today to that press school, that you know, we're going 502 00:27:56,119 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 8: through layers of leadership. And remember the iergy, he's the 503 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 8: most radical, and then you have the Standing Army, which 504 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:06,680 Speaker 8: is not as radically committed to the Islamic Revolution as 505 00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:11,240 Speaker 8: the IRGC. We're encouraging defections and so if we can 506 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:15,920 Speaker 8: get enough people who have you know, power and who 507 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,960 Speaker 8: are willing to cooperate with the United States, you may 508 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:23,159 Speaker 8: have a more pragmatic government in place. I mean, it 509 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 8: still seems very, very difficult to believe that it could 510 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:30,439 Speaker 8: happen after so many decades of this radical regime. But 511 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,920 Speaker 8: but but goodness, Scott, I mean, this is we've never 512 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 8: really seen anything like this. There's not really a precedent 513 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 8: for how effective the Israelis in particular have been at 514 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:46,000 Speaker 8: just you. 515 00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,880 Speaker 1: Oh, it sounds like we may have lost the feed 516 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,440 Speaker 1: for Rebecca Heinrich. She was joining us by a phone. 517 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,280 Speaker 1: We're going to try to get her back. Rebecca's a 518 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:57,480 Speaker 1: senior fellow at the Hudson Institute, and she's our national 519 00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 1: security expert here at the show, you know, interestingly discussing 520 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:07,120 Speaker 1: the discussing who we're negotiating with in Iran. You know, 521 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,000 Speaker 1: there's some reports that it may be the speaker of 522 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 1: the Iranian parliament. You know, the Iranian regime has said 523 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:17,680 Speaker 1: that the Ayatollah Kamane's son is the new Supreme leader, 524 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,440 Speaker 1: but we haven't heard from him personally in public. There's 525 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 1: a lot of reports that he is injured possibly disfigured 526 00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 1: in really bad shape. 527 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:28,360 Speaker 2: Do we have Rebecca back by. 528 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 1: The way, Oh we do, okay, Rebecca, thanks for yeah, 529 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 1: thanks for hopping back on. 530 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 2: You know, we got a couple of minutes here. 531 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:39,000 Speaker 1: My last question for you, really is, what's your gut 532 00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,480 Speaker 1: tell you about who is actually running the show there? 533 00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:43,480 Speaker 1: You're talking about it's hard to believe we'll ever get 534 00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 1: these fanatics, you know, to meet any demands that we 535 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:48,280 Speaker 1: have now we are pounding them pretty hard. 536 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 2: But what's your gut tell you? 537 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,040 Speaker 1: On the Sun? I mean, this is the son of 538 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,280 Speaker 1: the old Supreme Leader. There's been a lot of reporting 539 00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 1: about him, a cultural and personal issues that may not 540 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 1: fly inside of Iran. To be honest, He's said to 541 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,720 Speaker 1: be injured, he said to be disfigured, either carrying around 542 00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,360 Speaker 1: a cardboard cutout of this guy. What's your gut telling 543 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:11,320 Speaker 1: you about? Is this person really in charge or not? 544 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:12,960 Speaker 12: No? 545 00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,680 Speaker 8: I don't think that he is, Scott. I think that 546 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,760 Speaker 8: it was huge that when the Israelis took out the 547 00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:21,640 Speaker 8: Supreme Leader. Not only was that, you know, taking out 548 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:25,160 Speaker 8: their effective you know, leader of the Islamic Revolution, but 549 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:28,760 Speaker 8: he also had claims to being the leader of the 550 00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,720 Speaker 8: entire Muslim world. His defeat I think had a huge 551 00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:36,000 Speaker 8: psychological impact on the regime, and then now the fact 552 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:39,160 Speaker 8: that his son has not shown himself, I think he's incapacitated. 553 00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:42,400 Speaker 8: So I don't know specifically who the individual players are, 554 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 8: but it does seem like again that the United States 555 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:50,000 Speaker 8: is in contact with with some people who may be 556 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 8: willing to begin to talk about what they may accept 557 00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:58,200 Speaker 8: for the end of this conflict. And I assume that 558 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 8: we will learn more about that the more convinced they 559 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,520 Speaker 8: are that there's no way they're going to come out 560 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,640 Speaker 8: of this thing in any way that is on terms 561 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:11,080 Speaker 8: good for the IRGC, which is basically last point. It's 562 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:14,520 Speaker 8: a rumped IRGC at this point, it's essentially a zombie regime, 563 00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,640 Speaker 8: and so in order for them to have any kind 564 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 8: of future, I think you're going to have to have 565 00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:21,440 Speaker 8: some kind of cooperation with the United States. 566 00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:24,600 Speaker 1: That voice you're hearing Rebecca Heinrich, Senior Fellow at the 567 00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:28,360 Speaker 1: Hudson Institute, our national security expert here at the Scott 568 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:30,960 Speaker 1: Jennings Show.

He is the chief 603 00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:21,240 Speaker 1: of staff of the TSA and he is the acting 604 00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:25,280 Speaker 1: Deputy administrator. Adam, first of all, thanks for coming on 605 00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:28,520 Speaker 1: the show. Second of all, what day of the shutdown? 606 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,040 Speaker 1: Are we at day thirty seven right now? And tell 607 00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:34,000 Speaker 1: us how are things going at nearly two o'clock Eastern 608 00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:34,640 Speaker 1: in your opinion? 609 00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:38,160 Speaker 13: Yeah, I think day said thirty seven sounds about right. 610 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:43,080 Speaker 13: And you know, we're hoping that we're towards the end, 611 00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:46,040 Speaker 13: not the beginning, of course, but you know, things of 612 00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:47,560 Speaker 13: course are challenging right now. 613 00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:49,480 Speaker 2: You saw, you know, some of the. 614 00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:51,040 Speaker 13: Direction coming from the White House, of course, and we're 615 00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:54,760 Speaker 13: working in close conjunction with them, and i'd really appreciate 616 00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:59,160 Speaker 13: the President. You know borders, our home in director lines 617 00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,959 Speaker 13: and course the incoming secretary as well for their support 618 00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:07,320 Speaker 13: to help provide some you know, staffing support, specifically non 619 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:11,640 Speaker 13: specialized security staffing support from our ice brothers and sisters 620 00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:12,400 Speaker 13: within DHS. 621 00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:13,600 Speaker 2: So it's it's, you. 622 00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:15,880 Speaker 13: Know, we're hoping it will alleviate some pain. But again, 623 00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:19,040 Speaker 13: if we don't see some sort of resolution from Senate Democrats, 624 00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:20,200 Speaker 13: it's going to continue to go worse. 625 00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:24,520 Speaker 1: Okay, Adam, So how are you assessing it right now 626 00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:26,520 Speaker 1: at the major airports? If you were, I mean, look, 627 00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:29,400 Speaker 1: we're in spring break season. So if you're just advising 628 00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:32,480 Speaker 1: the regular traveler right now, who's got a flight you 629 00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:35,360 Speaker 1: know sometime in the next few days. We used to 630 00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:37,800 Speaker 1: tell people to get to the airport two hours in advance, 631 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:39,080 Speaker 1: what's the advice right now. 632 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:42,040 Speaker 13: Yeah, I'm not going to sugarcoat it's it's it's a 633 00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:45,560 Speaker 13: challenging environment right now. I think three to four hours 634 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,000 Speaker 13: is probably safe. But I think for folks if they 635 00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:51,239 Speaker 13: have questions about you know, times, current way times, I 636 00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:54,280 Speaker 13: would encourage individuals to reach out both to the airlines 637 00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:56,960 Speaker 13: and they'll receive frequent updates from from the carriers if 638 00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:00,239 Speaker 13: they booked a flight with them or their local airport 639 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,880 Speaker 13: our website they have you know, in real time updates 640 00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:03,279 Speaker 13: as well. 641 00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:04,920 Speaker 2: But again, you. 642 00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,960 Speaker 13: Know, please do pre prepared and please be respectful. I 643 00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:11,160 Speaker 13: know it's a challenging environment, but really again underscores the 644 00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:14,320 Speaker 13: importance of having again Senate Democrats come back to the 645 00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:16,520 Speaker 13: table so we can get the department funded again. 646 00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:19,840 Speaker 2: I was in a few airports over the last few days. 647 00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:22,080 Speaker 1: It seemed to me that there was a difference in 648 00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:26,400 Speaker 1: experience between people who had TSA pre check or Clear 649 00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:30,640 Speaker 1: versus people who do not have those things. Obviously, you 650 00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:32,800 Speaker 1: can't scramble and get it, you know, at the blink 651 00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,279 Speaker 1: of an eye now, but has that been generally true 652 00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:38,799 Speaker 1: at most airports, Adam, if you have TSA pre or 653 00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:42,600 Speaker 1: some kind of clear membership, is that making it. 654 00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:46,080 Speaker 2: A little better for those folks who have those things? Yeah? 655 00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,879 Speaker 13: Absolutely, I think for the most part, we have seen 656 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:53,640 Speaker 13: significantly shorter times for kind of the frequent traveler, particularly 657 00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:58,359 Speaker 13: TSA pre check individuals that are again, you know, that 658 00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:01,040 Speaker 13: line tends to move quicker, and that's been the case 659 00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,400 Speaker 13: both before the shutdown and during the shutdown, but particularly 660 00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:06,200 Speaker 13: with these long times one hundred and twenty minutes, one 661 00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:08,680 Speaker 13: hundred and eighty minutes like the long ones, you will 662 00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:13,440 Speaker 13: generally speaking, that time will be you know, again minimized, 663 00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:18,120 Speaker 13: you know, based on being TSA PRECHECKT versus being standard and. 664 00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,760 Speaker 1: Adam talk to us about the ICE agents. They are 665 00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:24,120 Speaker 1: not there doing the security screenings there seem to be 666 00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,640 Speaker 1: doing more line management. I know it's only been going 667 00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:29,200 Speaker 1: on for a few hours. Is it your judgment that 668 00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:31,120 Speaker 1: this is working so far? I know the President came 669 00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:33,960 Speaker 1: up with this idea himself over the weekend, But is 670 00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,840 Speaker 1: having them there been a net positive so far throughout 671 00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:37,919 Speaker 1: this first day event. 672 00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:41,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, I do, I do think so. 673 00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:44,320 Speaker 13: I think again, having again really appreciate the president support, 674 00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:47,480 Speaker 13: I really appreciate, you know, director alliance from ICE support 675 00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:50,719 Speaker 13: and the workforce from ICE specifically. I think they can 676 00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:54,319 Speaker 13: definitely help us in alleviating some. 677 00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:56,440 Speaker 2: Of that kind of the drain on the workforce. 678 00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,240 Speaker 13: I know our folks are overworked, They're of course tired, 679 00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,720 Speaker 13: the overwhelm majority are continuing to come in. But having 680 00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:06,160 Speaker 13: their support for again, non specialized security support, whether it's 681 00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:10,800 Speaker 13: manning the exit lanes, general crowd control, online management, the 682 00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:14,120 Speaker 13: best officer support as well, can allow our officers to 683 00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:16,200 Speaker 13: help with, you know, focus more on the kind of 684 00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:20,200 Speaker 13: the more specialized technical training, whether it's manning in operation 685 00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:24,439 Speaker 13: X ray machine or baggage you know, image interpretation, those 686 00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:26,160 Speaker 13: kinds of things, and then require a get a little 687 00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:30,200 Speaker 13: more specialized capability and knowledge.

Scott Jennings broadcasting here on Salomon Broadcasting Live 710 00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:33,319 Speaker 1: today from Louisville, Kentucky. Quick check of the headlines. It 711 00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:40,360 Speaker 1: is still TSA madness at America's airports. Long wait times 712 00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:44,240 Speaker 1: being reported at numerous airports across the country, the big ones, 713 00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:48,120 Speaker 1: the big hubs, Lots of chaos there. If you do 714 00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:52,800 Speaker 1: not have pre check or clear, it's really really bad. 715 00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:54,840 Speaker 2: So take that into account. 716 00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:58,560 Speaker 1: Now, why is all this happening, Well, it's because the Democrats. 717 00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:03,880 Speaker 1: The Democrats still have the Department of Homeland Security shut down. 718 00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:10,280 Speaker 1: Inside of DHS, that's where TSA resides. These TSA agents, 719 00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:13,279 Speaker 1: they've already missed two pay checks, they're about to miss 720 00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:16,680 Speaker 1: a third, so high percentages of them are calling in 721 00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:20,400 Speaker 1: sick or leaving their jobs all together. In some major airports, 722 00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:24,759 Speaker 1: over thirty or even forty percent of the TSA agents 723 00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:28,400 Speaker 1: are simply not coming to work. Let's listen to the 724 00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:32,160 Speaker 1: president today, who says the Democrats must end this madness 725 00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:33,879 Speaker 1: right now and cut twenty four. 726 00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:39,920 Speaker 3: In addition, after the appalling lines and massive disruptions at 727 00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:44,879 Speaker 3: major airports stationwide last weekend, I'm again demanding the Democrats 728 00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:49,360 Speaker 3: in Congress immediately end their disgraceful shutdown of the Department 729 00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:52,319 Speaker 3: of Homeland Security and the restore the full funding for 730 00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:56,879 Speaker 3: airport security and the TSA. They are holding it up 731 00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:00,759 Speaker 3: because they want to take care of illegal immigrants coming 732 00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:01,719 Speaker 3: into our country. 733 00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:03,120 Speaker 4: They want to take care. 734 00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:05,920 Speaker 3: Of criminals that are in sanctuary cities. 735 00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:10,520 Speaker 1: All right, That was the President. He also made some 736 00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:14,160 Speaker 1: remarks today on the war in Iran. He has said 737 00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:18,840 Speaker 1: that he is pausing attacks on Iranian energy infrastructure because 738 00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:23,759 Speaker 1: there are now some negotiations going on between his envoys 739 00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:27,359 Speaker 1: and some people in the Iranian government. It's a little 740 00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:30,080 Speaker 1: bit opaque who that might be, although some sources are 741 00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:33,239 Speaker 1: saying it might be the president of the Iranian Parliament. 742 00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:37,280 Speaker 1: At any rate, oil is down and American financial markets 743 00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:39,880 Speaker 1: are up on that news. We'll keep an eye on 744 00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:43,600 Speaker 1: that Supreme Court today hearing oral arguments in a case 745 00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:47,960 Speaker 1: dealing with mail in ballots, and the conservative justices on 746 00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:51,680 Speaker 1: the court are questioning whether states should be allowed to 747 00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:56,000 Speaker 1: count ballots that are mailed on time but arrive after 748 00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:59,960 Speaker 1: election day. We are following this case today. On tomorrow 749 00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:03,120 Speaker 1: ro show, we'll have Sarah Iger here of Scotis Blog. 750 00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:06,440 Speaker 1: We'll do a deep dive on this. If something were 751 00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:09,280 Speaker 1: to happen to the mail in ballot rules in this case, 752 00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:12,879 Speaker 1: it would affect this November's election. Joining us now, by 753 00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:17,040 Speaker 1: the way, representing the eighth Congressional District of Missouri. Chairman 754 00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:21,160 Speaker 1: of the Powerful Ways and Means Committee, Jason Smith is here, 755 00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:24,680 Speaker 1: Mister Chairman. There's a lot of stuff going on out there, 756 00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:29,840 Speaker 1: including it seems like very soon we'll have a new 757 00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:33,080 Speaker 1: leader for the Department of Homeland Security, Mark Wayne Mullen. 758 00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:35,200 Speaker 1: I bring it up because you know him better than 759 00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:39,600 Speaker 1: almost anyone. He's your roommate in Washington, d C. And 760 00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:42,040 Speaker 1: he cleared a key vote this weekend. What are you 761 00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:44,160 Speaker 1: hearing on his confirmation and what do people need to 762 00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:47,200 Speaker 1: know about Mark Wayne Mullen as he prepares to take 763 00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:49,080 Speaker 1: over the Department of Homeland Security. 764 00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:52,000 Speaker 11: You know, Scott, it's great to always be with you. 765 00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:57,800 Speaker 11: I have actually been friend Trends and I've known Senator 766 00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:02,279 Speaker 11: Mark Wayne Mullin since before or he or myself was 767 00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:07,120 Speaker 11: ever elected to public office in Washington, d C. And 768 00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:10,239 Speaker 11: so it's a different you know, it's definitely we've been 769 00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:13,400 Speaker 11: friends for a couple of decades. And I'll tell you 770 00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:17,160 Speaker 11: the best way to describe Mark Wayne Mullen is I 771 00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:19,239 Speaker 11: said this the other day. I don't know if he 772 00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:22,440 Speaker 11: liked it that much, but I said, on the outside, 773 00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:24,680 Speaker 11: he's like a Hercules, but on the inside he's like 774 00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:29,560 Speaker 11: a Caddy Bear. But he's He's a devoted, devoted husband, 775 00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:34,920 Speaker 11: devoted father. He's been a very successful businessman. He actually 776 00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:39,719 Speaker 11: saved his family's plumbing company and turned it into one 777 00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:43,000 Speaker 11: of the largest plumbing companies in the in the country. 778 00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:47,600 Speaker 11: He's just an all around good, good person. 779 00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:53,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, this nomination is interesting because Mark Wayne is somebody 780 00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:55,920 Speaker 1: who brings together a lot of different parts of the 781 00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:59,719 Speaker 1: Republican Party. And he's also someone that had some bipartisan 782 00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:02,000 Speaker 1: a peace He got I think two Democrat votes in 783 00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:05,919 Speaker 1: the initial vote in the Senate over the weekend. Does 784 00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:08,560 Speaker 1: he have the chance based on your knowledge of how 785 00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:12,400 Speaker 1: he operates, his temperament, his working style, does he have 786 00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:15,960 Speaker 1: the chance to actually bring people together in Washington, D 787 00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:18,360 Speaker 1: c in a way perhaps the Secretary know him, did not. 788 00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:25,120 Speaker 11: He absolutely has a record of bringing people together. A 789 00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:27,360 Speaker 11: lot of people have always referred to him as the 790 00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:30,239 Speaker 11: House whisper. You know, he served in the House of Representatives. 791 00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:32,480 Speaker 11: In the last three years has been over in the 792 00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:35,520 Speaker 11: United States Senate, but he would come to the Republican 793 00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:39,040 Speaker 11: Conference meetings almost on a weekly basis, trying to be 794 00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:42,800 Speaker 11: that bridge. I can remember Scott when we were working 795 00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:45,600 Speaker 11: some of the dynamics in the big Beautiful Bill, the 796 00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:49,520 Speaker 11: Working Family's tax cuts. We had a big issue with 797 00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:53,440 Speaker 11: the state and local tax deduction where the New Yorkers, 798 00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:56,160 Speaker 11: the folks in New Jersey and California, they wanted to 799 00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:58,839 Speaker 11: increase it. You had senators that did not wanted an 800 00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:02,080 Speaker 11: increase at all. Well, Mark Wayne took it upon himself 801 00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:06,280 Speaker 11: to help negotiate that with the House and the Senate, 802 00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:09,239 Speaker 11: and we ultimately got it done and we were able 803 00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:11,239 Speaker 11: to thread that needle. That's what he's going to do 804 00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:14,480 Speaker 11: as the secretary of a department at Homeland Security. He 805 00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:19,640 Speaker 11: has the relationship with his Democrat colleagues. He'll work with him. 806 00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:22,400 Speaker 11: I can tell you since he's been nominated, he's on 807 00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:25,920 Speaker 11: the phone NonStop with all the different House members and 808 00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:28,880 Speaker 11: senators that are calling him because he's kept the same 809 00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:33,760 Speaker 11: phone phone number trying to help them and hear issues 810 00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:37,400 Speaker 11: that they're having with FEMA, PSA, Coast Guard, you name it. 811 00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:43,000 Speaker 1: That's Jason Smith, Congressman from Missouri. He's chairman of the 812 00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:46,920 Speaker 1: powerful House Ways and Means Committee. Mister chairman, let me 813 00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:50,000 Speaker 1: pivot to another policy issue. When you and I last 814 00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:52,480 Speaker 1: saw each other a couple of weeks ago, down at 815 00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:56,080 Speaker 1: the House Republican Conference meeting in Florida, there was a 816 00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:59,080 Speaker 1: lot of conversation going on there about whether the House 817 00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:01,799 Speaker 1: would bring up a recon faciliation package. Some people were 818 00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:03,560 Speaker 1: for it, You were a little cool on it at 819 00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:06,280 Speaker 1: the time. Since then, a couple of things have happened. 820 00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:08,880 Speaker 1: Number one, the White House is asking for a war 821 00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:13,800 Speaker 1: supplemental and number two, it seems like there's some discussion 822 00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:18,680 Speaker 1: around the possibility of funding DHS through a reconciliation bill. 823 00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:21,880 Speaker 1: So there's new inputs. Now, I'm itched in your opinion, 824 00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:24,120 Speaker 1: where do we stand on that in the House? Are 825 00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:26,360 Speaker 1: we looking at reconciliation two point zero? 826 00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:27,520 Speaker 2: In your opinion? 827 00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:30,160 Speaker 11: You know, I've said it all along. I would love 828 00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:33,400 Speaker 11: to have a second reconciliation bill. But I just think 829 00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:35,920 Speaker 11: that the reality of being able to muster up the 830 00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:39,000 Speaker 11: necessary votes in the House and the Senate are going 831 00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:42,520 Speaker 11: to be difficult. In a reconciliation bill, you have to 832 00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:47,520 Speaker 11: have something that unifies your party. In the last one, 833 00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:52,919 Speaker 11: making sure that the tax cuts did not expire and 834 00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:57,520 Speaker 11: also securing the border were two things that unified us. Well, 835 00:45:57,560 --> 00:46:01,120 Speaker 11: we've taken care of those. We have the issues with 836 00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:07,239 Speaker 11: Department of Homeland funding, which it's so ridiculous that the 837 00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:10,800 Speaker 11: Democrats will not step up and fund TFA agents and 838 00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:16,719 Speaker 11: FEMA and the Coastguard. But I think it will be very, 839 00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:19,480 Speaker 11: very difficult to pass the second reconciliation bill. That's why 840 00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:22,360 Speaker 11: I said all along we needed to have one big 841 00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:28,720 Speaker 11: reconciliation bill. But if it's a very narrowly defined bill, 842 00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:32,080 Speaker 11: it might be able to But I still would give 843 00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:34,520 Speaker 11: it like a half of one percent chance. 844 00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:39,240 Speaker 1: The last reconciliation, just to go back in time last summer, 845 00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:43,760 Speaker 1: contains significant tax relief for the American people, mister Chairman, 846 00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:46,200 Speaker 1: and right now people are filing their taxes and they 847 00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:49,719 Speaker 1: are getting big time refunds from the IRS. Just a 848 00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:52,560 Speaker 1: quick comment from you was that the intent to get 849 00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:55,480 Speaker 1: more refunds back into people's pockets and tax relief to 850 00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:58,440 Speaker 1: working Americans. Is that the biggest result of last summer's 851 00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:01,160 Speaker 1: reconciliation package, that was. 852 00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:05,000 Speaker 11: The absolute reason why we pass these tax cuts is 853 00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:08,360 Speaker 11: for working families, small businesses, and farmers. And you're seeing 854 00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:11,680 Speaker 11: more than four hundred billion dollars in tax refunds. It's 855 00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:14,479 Speaker 11: actually the largest refunds in the history of America. In fact, 856 00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:18,919 Speaker 11: they're up by more than ten percent this year over last. 857 00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:22,440 Speaker 11: I was in my district just just recently and talked 858 00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:25,120 Speaker 11: to a waitress who came up to me and said 859 00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:28,600 Speaker 11: that her tax refund was over ten thousand dollars because 860 00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:31,040 Speaker 11: of the notes love us on tips and overtime. 861 00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:35,200 Speaker 1: That's good stuff, really good stuff from Jason Smith. He's 862 00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:37,759 Speaker 1: from Missouri. He's a Congressman, and he's chairman of the 863 00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:40,120 Speaker 1: powerful House Ways and Means Committee, one of the most 864 00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:44,359 Speaker 1: influential policymakers in our nation's capital.

He is down in Memphis, Tennessee, 904 00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:58,400 Speaker 1: touting his administration's efforts to lower crime. And by the way, 905 00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:04,600 Speaker 1: the statistics do do not lie crime. Violent crime is 906 00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:09,840 Speaker 1: down in America and in one of the biggest success stories, Memphis, Tennessee. 907 00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:12,960 Speaker 1: You couldn't walk around Memphis. I was there the other 908 00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:17,440 Speaker 1: day a few weeks ago. People down there, Democrats and Republicans, 909 00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:19,960 Speaker 1: were telling me you couldn't come around Theld Street, you 910 00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:23,400 Speaker 1: couldn't go downtown. One of the worst places in America. 911 00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:27,239 Speaker 1: Trump sends in this federal task force, a mixture of 912 00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:30,880 Speaker 1: federal agents. The governor of Tennessee wanted him there. You 913 00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:33,440 Speaker 1: had state police, you had local police. So you had 914 00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:37,320 Speaker 1: this incredible working group, this task Force, Memphis Safe task Force. 915 00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:42,520 Speaker 1: Now they've arrested like thousands of violent criminals, a bunch 916 00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:46,320 Speaker 1: of gang members. And you walk around Memphis right now, 917 00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:49,960 Speaker 1: people are returning. You could actually go down there, let's 918 00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:51,640 Speaker 1: hear from the president and cut twenty eight. 919 00:50:52,840 --> 00:50:55,880 Speaker 3: But under the Trump administration, we believe that no city 920 00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:59,920 Speaker 3: or neighborhood should be left behind. In Memphis, the crime 921 00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:04,240 Speaker 3: became so horrible that residents were made prisoners of violence 922 00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:06,920 Speaker 3: and their own community and their own home. But with 923 00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:09,000 Speaker 3: the help of the great people right here at this 924 00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:12,400 Speaker 3: table and right here, it's a whole different story. 925 00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:12,919 Speaker 4: Right now. 926 00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:16,719 Speaker 3: It's changing fast, and they'll be record setting in a 927 00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:18,840 Speaker 3: very short period of time, and I'll be here to 928 00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:20,520 Speaker 3: celebrate it with you. 929 00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:27,040 Speaker 1: I'd say Washington, d C. And Memphis maybe the two 930 00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:30,279 Speaker 1: biggest success stories. And in Memphis, I think there was 931 00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:34,800 Speaker 1: like early skepticism from the local democrats. You know, violent 932 00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:38,239 Speaker 1: crime happens in cities where Democrats are in charge. I mean, 933 00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:42,280 Speaker 1: that's basically what happens in America. The most violent places 934 00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:45,480 Speaker 1: Democrat run cities. Same was true of Memphis. There was 935 00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:49,319 Speaker 1: initial skepticism, then they embraced it, and then they realized, 936 00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:52,439 Speaker 1: how you know, it's better to run a city where 937 00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:56,360 Speaker 1: there aren't violent criminals running wild, driving out everybody else. 938 00:51:57,120 --> 00:51:59,360 Speaker 2: So that's a good thing. The President on the road today. 939 00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:04,240 Speaker 1: Also a little political news, Elizabeth Warren, Senator from Massachusetts, 940 00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:07,520 Speaker 1: is doing a bunch of endorsements here in the Senate 941 00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:14,279 Speaker 1: primary season. She is getting engaged in the main Senate race. Now, 942 00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:17,000 Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer and the Democrat Senate Committee they want the 943 00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:21,240 Speaker 1: governor of Maine, Janet Mills. She's sort of the establishment choice, 944 00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:27,239 Speaker 1: but Elizabeth Warren is jumping in for this. Yahoo Graham Platner. 945 00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:30,360 Speaker 1: Now you've heard us talk about Platner here on the show. 946 00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:35,520 Speaker 1: He's the guy that had the Nazi tattoo. Every time 947 00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:38,279 Speaker 1: I say, it doesn't even sound real, but it is. 948 00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:43,760 Speaker 1: The Democrats, the radical progressives are pushing a guy named 949 00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:47,120 Speaker 1: Graham Platner who for years had a Nazi tattoo on 950 00:52:47,160 --> 00:52:50,520 Speaker 1: his chest. He then gets it turned into something else. 951 00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:52,680 Speaker 1: A few days ago. He says, you know what, I 952 00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:55,919 Speaker 1: should have never apologized for that. I am what I am, 953 00:52:56,400 --> 00:52:59,279 Speaker 1: a guy with a Nazi tattoo. Now Elizabeth Warren is 954 00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:01,960 Speaker 1: all for this guy. But you know it's funny. I 955 00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:05,880 Speaker 1: seem to recall when Pete Hegseth was going through his 956 00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:10,359 Speaker 1: confirmation for Secretary of Defense. Do you guys remember tattoo Gate? 957 00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:15,680 Speaker 1: Heg Seth had a tattoo, was a Christian symbol, a 958 00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:20,680 Speaker 1: Christian symbol. Elizabeth Warren said, whoa, this tattoo looks like 959 00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:23,520 Speaker 1: a threat to me. So with heg Seth a Christian tattoo, 960 00:53:23,600 --> 00:53:27,960 Speaker 1: bad platner, Nazi tattoo. Fine. I ought to give you 961 00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:31,600 Speaker 1: an idea where the Democrats and the radical progressives are 962 00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:33,879 Speaker 1: Right now, We're gonna take a break. When we come back, 963 00:53:33,920 --> 00:53:36,560 Speaker 1: Mike Lawler and Congressman from New York is here. Scott 964 00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:37,560 Speaker 1: on Salem, stay with. 965 00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:41,440 Speaker 10: Hus treedom to speak clearly with no leftist lunacy. 966 00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:43,479 Speaker 4: This is the Scott Jenny Show. 967 00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:46,600 Speaker 2: It is Monday, March twenty third. 968 00:53:47,760 --> 00:53:54,680 Speaker 1: If you are not outraged by this latest story of 969 00:53:55,040 --> 00:53:58,279 Speaker 1: an illegal immigrant murdering someone in the United States, you 970 00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:01,600 Speaker 1: really ought to be. The details are terrible happened in 971 00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:06,800 Speaker 1: Chicago over the weekend. An eighteen year old college freshman 972 00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:13,080 Speaker 1: at Loyola Chicago named Sheridan Gorman. Miss Gorman went out 973 00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:16,359 Speaker 1: in the evening with her friends. They thought they could 974 00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:18,799 Speaker 1: see the northern lights. That's why they went outside, so 975 00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:19,200 Speaker 1: they took. 976 00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:19,800 Speaker 2: A little walk. 977 00:54:20,520 --> 00:54:23,520 Speaker 1: While they were out, they were shot up and shot 978 00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:29,600 Speaker 1: at by a Venezuelan migrant who came into our country 979 00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:35,279 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three during the Biden administration. He was 980 00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:38,759 Speaker 1: caught and released by the Biden administration. He makes his 981 00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:44,160 Speaker 1: way to Chicago, where he actually gets arrested on a 982 00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:46,960 Speaker 1: shoplifting charge. 983 00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:49,200 Speaker 2: They let him go. He and of course never shows 984 00:54:49,280 --> 00:54:49,840 Speaker 2: up for court. 985 00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:56,000 Speaker 1: And here we are on March twenty third, twenty twenty six, 986 00:54:56,160 --> 00:55:01,120 Speaker 1: talking about the fact that he has murdered an eighteen 987 00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:03,400 Speaker 1: year old American named Sheridan Gorman. 988 00:55:03,480 --> 00:55:06,320 Speaker 2: Here to discuss this and other news items. 989 00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:09,719 Speaker 1: Congressman Mike Lawler from New York Congressman, you and I 990 00:55:09,760 --> 00:55:13,239 Speaker 1: were texting about this story. We're both outraged by it. 991 00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:17,560 Speaker 1: All Americans should be outraged by it. What's your perspective here? 992 00:55:17,719 --> 00:55:21,400 Speaker 1: Another illegal alien killing an American citizen. 993 00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:22,640 Speaker 2: It's awful. 994 00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:31,120 Speaker 12: Well, it's a horrible tragedy. Scott. You know, this young girl, bright, funny, 995 00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:35,480 Speaker 12: you know, loved by her family, by her friends. She's 996 00:55:35,520 --> 00:55:39,360 Speaker 12: from my district, grew up in New York Town. You know, 997 00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:43,560 Speaker 12: just a great tragedy. My heart breaks for her family, 998 00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:48,239 Speaker 12: her parents, Tom and Jess, her sister Mattie. You know, 999 00:55:48,680 --> 00:55:52,120 Speaker 12: we have not yet been able to speak to them directly, 1000 00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:56,319 Speaker 12: but have done so through an intermediary, and you know, 1001 00:55:56,360 --> 00:56:01,520 Speaker 12: they're just they're devastated. And it's another tragedy that was 1002 00:56:01,719 --> 00:56:07,360 Speaker 12: entirely preventable if people would follow the law. Illegal immigrants 1003 00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:10,960 Speaker 12: should not be coming into our country. Under Biden, they 1004 00:56:10,960 --> 00:56:16,839 Speaker 12: were released after being caught into our country. That's why 1005 00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:21,040 Speaker 12: ten and a half million migrants flooded our streets. As 1006 00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:25,120 Speaker 12: with Lake and Riley, we saw somebody arrested for committing 1007 00:56:25,120 --> 00:56:27,920 Speaker 12: a crime, only to be released back out onto the 1008 00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:34,200 Speaker 12: street to perpetrate a devastating murder. This should not be 1009 00:56:34,320 --> 00:56:39,080 Speaker 12: happening in America. Everybody should be outraged by it. These 1010 00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:44,000 Speaker 12: individuals who are coming into our country illegally. Number one, 1011 00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:46,520 Speaker 12: they should not be released into the country, which is 1012 00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:50,719 Speaker 12: what President Trump has done. He has stopped the illegal 1013 00:56:50,920 --> 00:56:53,279 Speaker 12: entry into our country. He said he would do it. 1014 00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:56,279 Speaker 12: He has followed through on it. The second step here 1015 00:56:56,360 --> 00:57:01,239 Speaker 12: is these sanctuary jurisdictions need to stop, need to be eliminated. 1016 00:57:01,520 --> 00:57:04,920 Speaker 12: These folks have to cooperate with ICE. If somebody is 1017 00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:07,400 Speaker 12: committing a crime in the streets, even if it is 1018 00:57:07,680 --> 00:57:11,440 Speaker 12: quote unquote shoplifting, the fact is they are going on 1019 00:57:11,760 --> 00:57:15,000 Speaker 12: and committing more offenses when they're released back onto the street, 1020 00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:18,560 Speaker 12: and in this case, a violent offense. From everything we've 1021 00:57:18,600 --> 00:57:21,880 Speaker 12: been able to gather so far, this guy was laying 1022 00:57:21,920 --> 00:57:28,440 Speaker 12: in wait, targeted them execution style murder. It is absolutely disgraceful. 1023 00:57:29,640 --> 00:57:32,640 Speaker 1: Let's talk about the policy choices, Congressman, that led to 1024 00:57:32,680 --> 00:57:37,320 Speaker 1: this horrific tragedy. So Joe Biden's administration, of course, flew 1025 00:57:37,320 --> 00:57:41,160 Speaker 1: open the borders and thousands upon thousands of people were 1026 00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:44,240 Speaker 1: coming through every day, hundreds of thousands every month, millions 1027 00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:48,360 Speaker 1: over a four year period. This Medina was one of them. 1028 00:57:48,760 --> 00:57:53,120 Speaker 1: And then, as you point out, he winds up in Chicago, Illinois, 1029 00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:59,320 Speaker 1: a sanctuary city, and the shoplifting charge there. I guess 1030 00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:04,200 Speaker 1: the Biden administration policy was that a shoplifting charge would 1031 00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:08,720 Speaker 1: not be an enforcement priority for ICE, and on top 1032 00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:11,960 Speaker 1: of that Chicago being a sanctuary city, they wouldn't have 1033 00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:16,360 Speaker 1: notified ICE anyway. So all these are policy choices made 1034 00:58:16,400 --> 00:58:20,720 Speaker 1: by Democrats, a Democrat president, Democrat mayors, and local people 1035 00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:25,480 Speaker 1: in Chicago. So that's one set of policy choices. The 1036 00:58:25,520 --> 00:58:28,120 Speaker 1: other set here is you brought up Lake and Riley 1037 00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:30,440 Speaker 1: and the Lake and Riley Act that was passed by 1038 00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:34,400 Speaker 1: Republicans that didn't pass until twenty twenty five. Had this 1039 00:58:34,520 --> 00:58:38,720 Speaker 1: been in place, this tragedy probably would have been prevented. 1040 00:58:38,760 --> 00:58:41,880 Speaker 1: It's this story is so terrible, correct, but it does 1041 00:58:41,960 --> 00:58:45,120 Speaker 1: shine a bright light on the differences between the choices 1042 00:58:45,160 --> 00:58:48,280 Speaker 1: that Democrats make and the choices that Republicans make when 1043 00:58:48,360 --> 00:58:50,440 Speaker 1: it comes to immigration and how to deal with violent 1044 00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:51,720 Speaker 1: people who come to our country. 1045 00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:53,840 Speaker 4: No question. 1046 00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:56,800 Speaker 12: You know, I had somebody arguing with me about the 1047 00:58:56,880 --> 00:59:01,200 Speaker 12: Lake and Riley Act just last week, and how dare 1048 00:59:01,280 --> 00:59:03,960 Speaker 12: I vote for that? This is why I voted for that. 1049 00:59:04,240 --> 00:59:07,280 Speaker 12: This is precisely why I voted for that. Somebody who 1050 00:59:07,400 --> 00:59:11,080 Speaker 12: is coming into this country illegally, released into the United 1051 00:59:11,120 --> 00:59:17,240 Speaker 12: States by Joe Biden, committing a crime in a sanctuary jurisdiction, 1052 00:59:17,520 --> 00:59:20,720 Speaker 12: released back out onto the street only to murder an 1053 00:59:20,800 --> 00:59:24,280 Speaker 12: innocent young American who had her whole life in front 1054 00:59:24,280 --> 00:59:27,280 Speaker 12: of her. It should outrage everyone to their core. And 1055 00:59:27,320 --> 00:59:29,640 Speaker 12: as a parent, as a father of two young daughters, 1056 00:59:31,120 --> 00:59:33,040 Speaker 12: these are the things that keep you up at night. 1057 00:59:33,120 --> 00:59:36,480 Speaker 12: And I can only imagine what Tom and Jess and 1058 00:59:36,520 --> 00:59:40,880 Speaker 12: their family are dealing with right now. The pain, the grief, 1059 00:59:41,240 --> 00:59:46,400 Speaker 12: the heartache, and just to know that this was preventable, 1060 00:59:46,640 --> 00:59:51,280 Speaker 12: that this was avoidable. This is why I'm against sanctuary jurisdictions. 1061 00:59:51,520 --> 00:59:55,000 Speaker 12: This is why I'm against disastrous policies like cashless bail 1062 00:59:55,320 --> 00:59:58,440 Speaker 12: that released criminals back out onto the streets only to 1063 00:59:58,520 --> 01:00:02,720 Speaker 12: commit more act This is why we fought to secure 1064 01:00:02,760 --> 01:00:05,760 Speaker 12: the border so that these types of individuals are not 1065 01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:07,240 Speaker 12: released into our country. 1066 01:00:08,880 --> 01:00:12,960 Speaker 1: And what's ridiculous is you see the media falling into 1067 01:00:12,960 --> 01:00:17,640 Speaker 1: the same old patterns. A Chicago Tribune failing to recognize 1068 01:00:17,640 --> 01:00:21,320 Speaker 1: this person and its headlines as an illegal alien. And 1069 01:00:21,360 --> 01:00:23,960 Speaker 1: you also see the Democrats now, I think, in an 1070 01:00:24,040 --> 01:00:26,760 Speaker 1: uncomfortable position having to explain. You know, they've got the 1071 01:00:26,760 --> 01:00:31,080 Speaker 1: Department of Homeland Security closed right now because they don't 1072 01:00:31,080 --> 01:00:34,040 Speaker 1: want any immigration enforcement in our country. That's the reason 1073 01:00:34,080 --> 01:00:37,160 Speaker 1: they have shut it down. And now we have another 1074 01:00:37,200 --> 01:00:42,120 Speaker 1: situation where they're defending their idea that this madonna who 1075 01:00:42,160 --> 01:00:44,680 Speaker 1: came in and killed this young woman, this is the 1076 01:00:44,760 --> 01:00:47,000 Speaker 1: kind of person that they want in the country. This 1077 01:00:47,160 --> 01:00:48,840 Speaker 1: is the kind of person that once they get here, 1078 01:00:48,880 --> 01:00:50,840 Speaker 1: they want to keep in the country. This is the 1079 01:00:50,920 --> 01:00:53,520 Speaker 1: kind of person that most of them would say should 1080 01:00:53,520 --> 01:00:57,640 Speaker 1: not be deported. There are quote neighbor, they are our friends, 1081 01:00:57,720 --> 01:01:01,040 Speaker 1: they are part of our community. That's how they describe 1082 01:01:01,680 --> 01:01:04,440 Speaker 1: these illegal aliens. And now you, Congressman Lawler, have a 1083 01:01:04,480 --> 01:01:08,880 Speaker 1: family in your very district dealing with the tragic consequences 1084 01:01:09,280 --> 01:01:13,120 Speaker 1: of this worldview. I just hope American voters wake up 1085 01:01:13,120 --> 01:01:16,240 Speaker 1: to this before November, because if we go back to Democrats, 1086 01:01:16,640 --> 01:01:17,880 Speaker 1: this is what we're going to get again. 1087 01:01:17,920 --> 01:01:20,720 Speaker 4: It's awful, no question. 1088 01:01:20,760 --> 01:01:23,880 Speaker 12: I mean the fact that they continue to keep the 1089 01:01:23,960 --> 01:01:28,800 Speaker 12: Department of Homeland Security shut down. You know, Americans obviously 1090 01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:34,040 Speaker 12: are are being impacted by TSA agents not being paid 1091 01:01:34,320 --> 01:01:37,520 Speaker 12: by the Democrats decision to keep the department shut down. 1092 01:01:38,440 --> 01:01:41,560 Speaker 12: You have you know, Democrats in my district actually held 1093 01:01:41,560 --> 01:01:45,680 Speaker 12: a rally yesterday in the neighboring town to Yorktown where 1094 01:01:45,680 --> 01:01:49,600 Speaker 12: this family is from, in the town of somers protesting 1095 01:01:49,760 --> 01:01:52,919 Speaker 12: Ice and they don't even make a mention of this 1096 01:01:53,320 --> 01:01:57,040 Speaker 12: poor girl, Sheridan Gorman and her family, not even a 1097 01:01:57,160 --> 01:02:01,240 Speaker 12: mention to keep them in their prayers. It's disgraceful what 1098 01:02:01,400 --> 01:02:04,440 Speaker 12: is happening. And I think Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffrey 1099 01:02:04,480 --> 01:02:06,919 Speaker 12: should be ashamed of themselves that they've allowed the far 1100 01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:13,560 Speaker 12: left extremists to dictate the policies that this country is 1101 01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:19,200 Speaker 12: governed under. It is absolutely absurd that they have kept 1102 01:02:19,200 --> 01:02:22,920 Speaker 12: this department shut down for over forty days, not paying 1103 01:02:22,920 --> 01:02:25,760 Speaker 12: our TSA agents, not paying the Coastguard, not paying the 1104 01:02:25,800 --> 01:02:30,040 Speaker 12: Secret Service, not paying FEMA at a time with a 1105 01:02:30,080 --> 01:02:33,360 Speaker 12: heightened threat environment, given the situation in the Middle East 1106 01:02:34,080 --> 01:02:37,880 Speaker 12: and directly impacting Americans all across the country. 1107 01:02:39,240 --> 01:02:42,640 Speaker 1: Mike, it's interesting to me that the democratic political strategy 1108 01:02:42,680 --> 01:02:46,840 Speaker 1: here appears to be let's just inflict as much pain 1109 01:02:47,120 --> 01:02:51,240 Speaker 1: and chaos on the American people as we can and 1110 01:02:51,240 --> 01:02:53,480 Speaker 1: then look them in the eye with a straight face 1111 01:02:53,560 --> 01:02:57,280 Speaker 1: and say, well, g whiz, we don't know why there's 1112 01:02:57,320 --> 01:03:00,000 Speaker 1: so much chaos. We don't know why people are getting more, 1113 01:03:00,240 --> 01:03:03,160 Speaker 1: we don't know why the airports are so terrible. Guess 1114 01:03:03,160 --> 01:03:07,480 Speaker 1: it must be Trump. Guess it must be the Republicans shrug. 1115 01:03:08,160 --> 01:03:10,880 Speaker 1: That is the political strategy. It seems to me they 1116 01:03:10,920 --> 01:03:13,120 Speaker 1: don't care how long your line is. They don't care 1117 01:03:13,160 --> 01:03:16,720 Speaker 1: how many people get murdered by illegal aliens. They only 1118 01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:20,160 Speaker 1: care if they are able to turn this chaos into 1119 01:03:20,200 --> 01:03:26,160 Speaker 1: political advantage. It is the most cynical, despicable strategy you 1120 01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:28,600 Speaker 1: could possibly imagine. I don't know how you I mean, 1121 01:03:28,640 --> 01:03:30,360 Speaker 1: I don't know how you debate with people. This is 1122 01:03:30,400 --> 01:03:33,000 Speaker 1: not good faith governing at all. 1123 01:03:33,440 --> 01:03:36,440 Speaker 12: It's certainly not good faith. But it's even worse than that, Scott. 1124 01:03:36,920 --> 01:03:40,520 Speaker 12: They're only doing this because they're petrified of losing their primaries. 1125 01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:45,560 Speaker 12: They're petrified of being taken out by the left in 1126 01:03:46,080 --> 01:03:49,080 Speaker 12: primaries this year and in twenty twenty eight, and so 1127 01:03:49,160 --> 01:03:54,040 Speaker 12: they have capitulated to these extremists. I mean, the fact 1128 01:03:54,160 --> 01:03:56,760 Speaker 12: is what happened in Minneapolis was tragic, but it was 1129 01:03:56,960 --> 01:04:01,760 Speaker 12: entirely avoidable had Democrat sanctuary city policies not being been 1130 01:04:01,880 --> 01:04:05,360 Speaker 12: enacted and the local police department not been allowed to 1131 01:04:05,480 --> 01:04:08,760 Speaker 12: cooperate with ICE for the purpose of crowd control and 1132 01:04:08,840 --> 01:04:13,880 Speaker 12: traffic control. And here their policies are directly responsible like 1133 01:04:13,960 --> 01:04:17,000 Speaker 12: they were for Lake and Riley's death. Their policies are 1134 01:04:17,040 --> 01:04:21,000 Speaker 12: directly responsible for the death of this young girl, Sheridan Gorman, 1135 01:04:21,520 --> 01:04:25,320 Speaker 12: because they allowed these people into the country illegally, they 1136 01:04:25,360 --> 01:04:29,280 Speaker 12: were arrested for committing crimes, they released them under these 1137 01:04:29,480 --> 01:04:34,400 Speaker 12: cashless bailed disasters. They would not cooperate with ICE, they 1138 01:04:34,480 --> 01:04:38,480 Speaker 12: would not honor detainer requests. These are the reasons why 1139 01:04:38,560 --> 01:04:41,160 Speaker 12: we continue to see violence. And to your point, the 1140 01:04:41,200 --> 01:04:44,800 Speaker 12: Democrats like Chuck Schumer and King Jeffreys are all too 1141 01:04:44,920 --> 01:04:47,480 Speaker 12: happy to see the chaos because they think they can 1142 01:04:47,560 --> 01:04:50,840 Speaker 12: just blame it on Donald Trump. That is their whole policy, 1143 01:04:50,880 --> 01:04:54,840 Speaker 12: that's their whole campaign is we hate Trump, Orange Man bad. 1144 01:04:55,200 --> 01:04:59,200 Speaker 12: They offer nothing to the American people except this type 1145 01:04:59,200 --> 01:05:02,439 Speaker 12: of insan that we're seeing in our streets. A young 1146 01:05:02,520 --> 01:05:07,120 Speaker 12: girl killed because of these disastrous policies. That's why we 1147 01:05:07,200 --> 01:05:08,920 Speaker 12: set the Lake and Riley Act. 1148 01:05:09,880 --> 01:05:12,360 Speaker 1: Congressman Michae Lawler is our guest here. We got about 1149 01:05:12,400 --> 01:05:15,240 Speaker 1: thirty seconds, Mike, I know you're up there in New York, 1150 01:05:15,320 --> 01:05:19,560 Speaker 1: and we had this tragedy at LaGuardia Airport overnight, a 1151 01:05:19,600 --> 01:05:23,200 Speaker 1: firetruck colliding on the ground with a plane, an Air 1152 01:05:23,280 --> 01:05:27,280 Speaker 1: Canada plane, two pilots dead, just wondering at this hour 1153 01:05:27,840 --> 01:05:30,440 Speaker 1: is LaGuardia open. I'm not certain it's back open yet 1154 01:05:30,520 --> 01:05:33,720 Speaker 1: or not into any comment anything you know about this 1155 01:05:34,400 --> 01:05:37,120 Speaker 1: terrible situation at LGA. 1156 01:05:37,240 --> 01:05:40,120 Speaker 12: Well, it's obviously it's a terrible tragedy. I watched the 1157 01:05:40,200 --> 01:05:43,320 Speaker 12: video just a little while ago and obviously heard the 1158 01:05:43,960 --> 01:05:48,240 Speaker 12: audio of the air traffic controllers trying to stop the 1159 01:05:50,560 --> 01:05:54,280 Speaker 12: situation from happening, and it just obviously needs to be 1160 01:05:54,280 --> 01:05:58,720 Speaker 12: fully investigated so we learn more details. LaGuardia was supposed 1161 01:05:58,720 --> 01:06:01,040 Speaker 12: to open around two o'clock. I'm not sure if that 1162 01:06:01,280 --> 01:06:04,920 Speaker 12: did in fact happen yet, but you know, this is 1163 01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:08,840 Speaker 12: just a tragic situation.

If I told you 1197 01:07:58,400 --> 01:08:02,600 Speaker 1: that the Northern Marionna Islands, a US territory, had numerous 1198 01:08:02,760 --> 01:08:06,240 Speaker 1: birth clinics where people could fly in, have a kid, 1199 01:08:06,760 --> 01:08:11,000 Speaker 1: and have that kid automatically become a US citizen, how 1200 01:08:11,000 --> 01:08:12,880 Speaker 1: many people do you think would do that? 1201 01:08:12,960 --> 01:08:13,120 Speaker 10: Well? 1202 01:08:13,160 --> 01:08:16,840 Speaker 1: According to our next guest, New York Times bestselling author 1203 01:08:16,840 --> 01:08:20,400 Speaker 1: and New York Post senior reporter Chadwick More, it's a lot, 1204 01:08:20,439 --> 01:08:25,120 Speaker 1: maybe one and a half million Chinese people alone being 1205 01:08:25,240 --> 01:08:28,519 Speaker 1: born through this method. Chadwick, thanks for joining us on 1206 01:08:28,560 --> 01:08:30,800 Speaker 1: the Scott Jennings Show. You've got to I saw this 1207 01:08:30,840 --> 01:08:32,960 Speaker 1: in the New York Post last week. I couldn't believe 1208 01:08:33,000 --> 01:08:34,280 Speaker 1: it's tell us about this story. 1209 01:08:35,640 --> 01:08:39,240 Speaker 7: Yeah, thanks Scott. So the North Mariana Islands, it's got 1210 01:08:39,520 --> 01:08:41,439 Speaker 7: at one point. So this is all thanks to an 1211 01:08:41,439 --> 01:08:45,480 Speaker 7: Obama era rule in which Obama said that Chinese citizens 1212 01:08:45,520 --> 01:08:48,280 Speaker 7: no longer needed a visa to travel these islands. They 1213 01:08:48,280 --> 01:08:51,799 Speaker 7: could stay up to forty five days, no questions asked. 1214 01:08:52,000 --> 01:08:55,960 Speaker 7: So that opened the plootgates to birth tourism where Chinese women, 1215 01:08:56,400 --> 01:08:59,599 Speaker 7: mostly wealthy, fly to the islands, they stay a month, 1216 01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:02,920 Speaker 7: maybe longer, have a baby, and the baby is instantly American. 1217 01:09:03,240 --> 01:09:07,360 Speaker 7: There are over one thousand companies based in China that 1218 01:09:08,840 --> 01:09:10,880 Speaker 7: just to birth tourism. They're very proud about it. Have 1219 01:09:10,960 --> 01:09:13,719 Speaker 7: your American baby with us, will help you do all 1220 01:09:13,800 --> 01:09:17,160 Speaker 7: the we'll range it all for you. And it's estimated 1221 01:09:17,160 --> 01:09:19,639 Speaker 7: that there's about seven hundred thousand to one point five 1222 01:09:19,720 --> 01:09:24,360 Speaker 7: million so called American babies being raised in China right now. 1223 01:09:24,760 --> 01:09:25,280 Speaker 4: A lot of. 1224 01:09:25,240 --> 01:09:29,280 Speaker 7: Them getting ready this decade to reach voting age now 1225 01:09:29,320 --> 01:09:31,400 Speaker 7: of course, of eighteen, if they get a residency in 1226 01:09:31,400 --> 01:09:33,320 Speaker 7: the US, they can vote in the US, and at 1227 01:09:33,360 --> 01:09:37,120 Speaker 7: twenty one they can begin bringing in friends and excuse me, 1228 01:09:37,160 --> 01:09:41,200 Speaker 7: family members, close family members through sponsoring them with green cards, 1229 01:09:41,200 --> 01:09:43,920 Speaker 7: what we call chain migration. So this is a huge 1230 01:09:43,920 --> 01:09:47,479 Speaker 7: issue that is coming up to the Supreme Court actually 1231 01:09:47,520 --> 01:09:52,280 Speaker 7: April first, oral arguments about birthright citizenship. And that's how 1232 01:09:52,360 --> 01:09:55,360 Speaker 7: these people are able to do this through an interpretation 1233 01:09:55,479 --> 01:09:58,640 Speaker 7: of a fourteenth Amendment that says any person no matter what, 1234 01:09:58,840 --> 01:10:02,519 Speaker 7: who's born on US soil, and the Northern Marianna Islands 1235 01:10:02,520 --> 01:10:06,480 Speaker 7: our US territory get automatic instant American citizenship. 1236 01:10:07,520 --> 01:10:10,559 Speaker 1: So you're saying that during the Obama administration they made 1237 01:10:10,600 --> 01:10:14,520 Speaker 1: it easier for Chinese nationals to come to US territory. 1238 01:10:15,120 --> 01:10:17,880 Speaker 1: They immediately started taking advantage of this. Now we have 1239 01:10:18,040 --> 01:10:22,439 Speaker 1: millions of Chinese families with American babies who are now 1240 01:10:22,479 --> 01:10:26,080 Speaker 1: coming of age. Ay, do we have any idea? I 1241 01:10:26,280 --> 01:10:29,519 Speaker 1: saw one and a half million was the number. Is 1242 01:10:29,520 --> 01:10:32,439 Speaker 1: it possible that it's more than that? A? Has the 1243 01:10:32,479 --> 01:10:36,800 Speaker 1: Trump administration moved to change these visa rules? In other words, 1244 01:10:36,840 --> 01:10:38,920 Speaker 1: that we cut this off or is it still going on? 1245 01:10:40,360 --> 01:10:40,519 Speaker 3: Right? 1246 01:10:40,560 --> 01:10:44,200 Speaker 7: So, during Trump's first term, he actually reduced the visa 1247 01:10:44,200 --> 01:10:47,720 Speaker 7: waiver to fourteen days. That slowed down This is the 1248 01:10:47,840 --> 01:10:51,720 Speaker 7: Northern Mariana Island specifically, that slowed it down. At one 1249 01:10:51,720 --> 01:10:53,920 Speaker 7: point there were more Chinese babies born on the island 1250 01:10:53,960 --> 01:10:57,280 Speaker 7: than natives. But it still is at fourteen days. Members 1251 01:10:57,320 --> 01:11:02,200 Speaker 7: of Congress have brought this issue earlier this month about 1252 01:11:02,240 --> 01:11:03,599 Speaker 7: ending the visa waiver entirely. 1253 01:11:03,840 --> 01:11:04,000 Speaker 12: Now. 1254 01:11:04,240 --> 01:11:07,200 Speaker 7: The case it's going before the Supreme Court on April first, 1255 01:11:07,479 --> 01:11:10,360 Speaker 7: is because of a Trump executive order which wanted to 1256 01:11:10,560 --> 01:11:14,720 Speaker 7: end birthright citizenships for illegals and for tourists. There was 1257 01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:19,040 Speaker 7: usual story one federal judge or whatever who said you 1258 01:11:19,080 --> 01:11:21,080 Speaker 7: can't do this as the president. And now it's gone 1259 01:11:21,120 --> 01:11:23,160 Speaker 7: all the way. It's going to the Supreme Court. The 1260 01:11:23,160 --> 01:11:25,800 Speaker 7: Supreme Court initially did not want to tackle this issue 1261 01:11:25,840 --> 01:11:28,679 Speaker 7: of how to interpret the Fourteenth Amendment, but they're going 1262 01:11:28,720 --> 01:11:30,760 Speaker 7: to be forced to. So it's going to be a 1263 01:11:30,840 --> 01:11:34,519 Speaker 7: super interesting case to watch to see. If the Fourteenth Amendment, 1264 01:11:34,560 --> 01:11:36,960 Speaker 7: of course, was passed in the eighteen sixties, it was 1265 01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:41,719 Speaker 7: only intended to give newly freed slaves, people of African 1266 01:11:41,720 --> 01:11:45,240 Speaker 7: descendant US citizenship and their children, but it has since 1267 01:11:45,280 --> 01:11:48,240 Speaker 7: been interpreted to being basically anyone who's on the United 1268 01:11:48,240 --> 01:11:50,840 Speaker 7: State in the United States, including tourists from China to 1269 01:11:50,960 --> 01:11:54,559 Speaker 7: fly in for weekends to Pacific Island territory, give birth, 1270 01:11:54,600 --> 01:11:57,240 Speaker 7: and go home. It's been interpreted to say that those 1271 01:11:57,360 --> 01:11:59,080 Speaker 7: children are American citizens. 1272 01:12:00,120 --> 01:12:02,760 Speaker 1: Most often discuss this or debate this issue as it 1273 01:12:02,800 --> 01:12:06,200 Speaker 1: relates to illegal immigrants coming up over the southern border. 1274 01:12:06,240 --> 01:12:08,799 Speaker 1: They have children here and so on. But it strikes 1275 01:12:08,840 --> 01:12:11,559 Speaker 1: me that just as big or maybe a bigger issue 1276 01:12:12,080 --> 01:12:14,559 Speaker 1: or all these Chinese nationals who are taking advantage of 1277 01:12:14,600 --> 01:12:17,280 Speaker 1: us on this birthright citizenship, and indeed we'll be watching 1278 01:12:17,280 --> 01:12:20,800 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court. The reporter here is Chadwick Moore, the 1279 01:12:20,800 --> 01:12:23,799 Speaker 1: headline of the New York Post. US territory turned tropical 1280 01:12:23,840 --> 01:12:27,799 Speaker 1: maternity Ward has produced thousands of American babies for parents 1281 01:12:27,840 --> 01:12:30,280 Speaker 1: living in China. I encourage you to check it out.
