1 00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:07,680 Speaker 1: The voice of free speech, the truth delivered, Common sense 2 00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:09,399 Speaker 1: for the American people. 3 00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:12,800 Speaker 2: Welcome to the Scott Jenning Show. 4 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:19,400 Speaker 1: NASA is forced to postpone it's lunar mission. We have 5 00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:21,840 Speaker 1: a live report on that in just a few minutes. 6 00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:26,800 Speaker 1: Don Lemon cries to Jimmy Kimmel blue state policies are 7 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:31,360 Speaker 1: making life miserable and causing people to move away. Christy 8 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:35,599 Speaker 1: Noams sending body cameras to federal officers in Minneapolis, and 9 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 1: new national polling paints a clear picture. Democrats are completely 10 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 1: out of step with the American people on illegal immigration. 11 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,240 Speaker 2: It is Tuesday, February third. 12 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,640 Speaker 1: This is the Scott Jennings Show here on Salem, Common 13 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 1: Sense for the American People, broadcasting live from Boston, Massachusetts today. 14 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:04,680 Speaker 1: I guess, Jared, we're broadcasting from stolen land. Jared, you 15 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,959 Speaker 1: should have called Elizabeth Warren for permission to broadcast here 16 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:14,479 Speaker 1: from her reservation. What were you thinking? You didn't call Pocahontas. 17 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,760 Speaker 1: After the show. By the way, Jared and I have 18 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,959 Speaker 1: to drive out to Dartmouth in New Hampshire for a 19 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 1: debate tonight about the future of the Republican Party. My 20 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 1: sparring partner is Anna Navarro. Yes, that Anna Navarro, and 21 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 1: we'll be back on the air on CNN tomorrow night. 22 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: In New York City. Let us get to the news. 23 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:41,959 Speaker 1: President Trump is meeting with President Gustavo Petro of Columbia today, 24 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: a constant thorn in his side. It's closed press, they say, 25 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: but we'll keep an eye on this meeting. Homeland Security 26 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 1: Secretary Christy Noam says body cameras have been sent to 27 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 1: Minneapolis for use by federal officers. ICE and Border Patrol 28 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: will now wear body cams. The President says, that's a 29 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 1: good idea. Here's cut ten at Christinom. 30 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 3: Just announced that you're deploying body cameras to Minneapolis. 31 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 4: What's your thinking behind this decision? And do you want 32 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:12,839 Speaker 4: to see this? Well, it wasn't my decision. I would 33 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 4: you know, I leave it to her. 34 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 3: They generally tend to. 35 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 1: Be good for law enforcement because people can't lie about 36 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 1: what's happening. 37 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 5: So it's generally speaking, I think eighty percent good for 38 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:23,519 Speaker 5: law enforcement. 39 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 2: But if he wants to do that, I'm okay with it. 40 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: This news comes as national polling emerges on how Americans 41 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 1: feel about the immigration debate, and it turns out that 42 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 1: Democrats have badly misread the electorate. 43 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 2: The latest Harvard Harris survey. 44 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: Is out and two thirds of Americans fully sixty seven 45 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: percent say that yes, yes, local police and jails should 46 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: hand illegal immigrants over to federal law enforcement. Of course, 47 00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 1: the Tim Walls and Jacob Fry position, along with a 48 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: slew of other Blue state mayors and governors, is that 49 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: they will not cooperate. They will not hand illegal aliens 50 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:12,399 Speaker 1: over to the feds. Democrats, it seems, are badly out 51 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: of step with the American people. Next hour, we'll talk 52 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 1: to a polster, Brent Buchanan of Signal, who has even 53 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 1: more data, making it clear the Democrats do not speak 54 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: for the American people when it comes to coddling illegal 55 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 1: immigrants and attacking federal law enforcement. Speaking of Minneapolis, it 56 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: continues to be a lawless place, with random people setting 57 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 1: up roadblocks in the streets, stopping citizens who are driving through, 58 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,279 Speaker 1: and running their license plates against some sort of database 59 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: to determine whether the vehicle belongs to ICE. Take a 60 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 1: listen to this interaction at one of these roadblocks. Cut eleven. 61 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 3: Right, I'm going. 62 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 4: He said his license plates are ICE. 63 00:03:59,200 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 6: Guy. 64 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, I was just saying, it looks like in our system, 65 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: your plates came up as an ice plate. 66 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 4: That doesn't seem like it's the case. 67 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 7: I just want to come through. 68 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 2: And see what was up and talk to you, see 69 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 2: how you're doing. 70 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 8: Okay, I can't here, Yeah, yeah, totally, totally. 71 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 9: Yeah. 72 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 1: Not clear to me whether anyone has been arrested in 73 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: Minneapolis for setting up these illegal roadblocks, But there is 74 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:35,160 Speaker 1: evidence that Democrats across the country are planning to replicate 75 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 1: these paramilitary tactics of these Minneapolis radicals. Here's Maine Senate 76 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 1: candidate Graham Plattner. This is the Bernie Sanders supporter with 77 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: the Nazi tattoo cut two, and I will say. 78 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,479 Speaker 10: To the people of Minneapolis, we and Mane are watching 79 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 10: with awe and inspiration. But what the people of Minneapolis 80 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,559 Speaker 10: have been able to put together, the networks they have built, 81 00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,679 Speaker 10: the organizational structure, the tactics, and the strategies they're using 82 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,600 Speaker 10: to resist, We in Maine are looking at them and 83 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 10: using them as a blueprint because we're very convinced that 84 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 10: we are seeing the beginning of the exact same kind 85 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 10: of operation here. 86 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: There you have it, folks, Democrats around the country are 87 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,839 Speaker 1: planning to block your roads, check your license plates, and 88 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: generally make your community miserable, all all so they can 89 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 1: keep illegal aliens in your town. Disgraced former CNN host 90 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 1: Don Lemon predictably showed up on Jimmy Kimmel's show last 91 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: night to cry about being arrested for illegally entering a 92 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,160 Speaker 1: church a couple of weekends ago. Lemon says the FEDS 93 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 1: wanted to scare him, and they made him uncomfortable when 94 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 1: they arrested him. 95 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:44,279 Speaker 2: Here's cut twelve. 96 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 10: Well, you're right about more than just some ways of resources. 97 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 4: They want that. 98 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,039 Speaker 5: They want to embarrass you, They want to intimidate you. 99 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,160 Speaker 10: They want to instill fear, and so that's why they 100 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 10: did it that way. 101 00:05:55,920 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: Instill fear, you say, Don Lemon, here's a flashback to 102 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: what Don Lemon said the day that he and his 103 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 1: band of radical agitators invaded the Baptist church in Minneapolis. 104 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:13,279 Speaker 2: Cut thirteen. You heard what some of the folks said 105 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 2: in there. You know that this is uh. 106 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,280 Speaker 5: They shouldn't be there, and you know they shouldn't be 107 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 5: uncomfortable and this is our house and whatever. 108 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 2: That's what protesting is about, is to make people uncomfortable. 109 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:26,160 Speaker 2: You may not like it. 110 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 1: For Don Lemon, it seems to me what is good 111 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 1: for the goose is good for the gander. Up on 112 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 1: Capitol Hill, Republicans in the House, led by Speaker Mike Johnson, 113 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:43,479 Speaker 1: have just broken the Democratic shutdown, voting two seventeen to 114 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 1: two fifteen moments ago to fund the government. Reopen the government, 115 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 1: but but questions remain over DHS funding long term, as 116 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:59,039 Speaker 1: Democrats continue to push for defunding federal immigration enforcement. But 117 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 1: for today, another win for Magic Mike Johnson and the 118 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: House Republicans. Also in Washington, Conservatives are pushing for the 119 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 1: passage of the Save Act, which would, among other things, 120 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: require documentary proof of US citizenship before registering an individual 121 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: to vote in a federal election. Now there is overwhelming 122 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 1: support for ensuring that only citizens vote and for providing 123 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 1: voter ID when they do. This morning, on CNN, polling 124 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 1: director Harry Anton called it this way. 125 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 2: Here's cut nine. 126 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 8: Take a look here, favorite photo ID to vote. Eighty 127 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 8: five percent of white people favorite, eighty two percent of Latino, 128 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 8: seventy six percent of Black Americans favorite. So the bottom 129 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 8: line is this voter ID is not controversial in this country. 130 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 8: A photo ID to vote is not controversial in this country. 131 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 8: It is not controversial by party, and it is not 132 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 8: controversial by race. The vast majority of Americans agree with 133 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 8: Nicki Minaj that, in fact, you should have a photo 134 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 8: ID to be able to vote. 135 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 2: So something of none. 136 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 1: Fully eighty three percent of the American people support photo 137 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 1: ID before you can vote. And to reiterate, black voters 138 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 1: seventy six percent, White voters eighty five percent, Latino voters 139 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 1: eighty two percent. Now, Chuck Schumer, the Senate Democratic leader, 140 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 1: calls all of this Jim Crow two point oh. Now, 141 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 1: when you hear them bring out that old chestnut of 142 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 1: a talking point, you know they really have nothing. But 143 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: how can it be when Jim Crow two point zero 144 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 1: when Black voters themselves overwhelmingly support voter ID. Again, black 145 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 1: voters support showing ID seventy six percent. A white Democrat 146 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,960 Speaker 1: from New York City, it seems to me, is telling 147 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: black voters they are too stupid to know what is 148 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 1: best for them, and that, ladies and gentlemen, is the 149 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:06,199 Speaker 1: modern Democratic Party in a nutshell. This is the Scott 150 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,679 Speaker 1: Shedding Show here on Salem. We're broadcasting live from the 151 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:14,080 Speaker 1: Salem installation in Boston, Massachusetts today, right near Boston Harbor. 152 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 1: It is common sense for the American people. We do 153 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 1: have more news on aches and pains, and we've gone 154 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 1: right to the source here. Let me share a story 155 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 1: from a listener. His name is Rod. He lives in Texas. 156 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 1: He says, I am sixty four years old and I 157 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 1: used to build houses on the side. Years of hard 158 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:39,840 Speaker 1: physical work left me with excruciating back pain that became unbearable. 159 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 1: I finally gave relief factor a try, and within four 160 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 1: days most of the pain subsided. 161 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 2: Over the next few weeks it continued to improve, and. 162 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 1: Rod said, and I quote, being pain free is indescribable. 163 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 1: We have seen improvements in the Jennings household. I spoke 164 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 1: to my father last night. He made his winter sojourn 165 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 1: to Florida. After all that driving, he said his back 166 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 1: was feeling good, no aches and pains.

We're always ranked highly on competitiveness. We're 225 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 3: just shetting people. They're making a choice. I mean people. 226 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 3: States have made lots of policy changes over the last 227 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 3: five ten years, about twenty five of cut taxes. We're 228 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 3: one of the few that's increased our taxes dramatically, and 229 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 3: people are leaving young people, older people, people with companies, investors, 230 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 3: and it's really I mean, we're one of the only 231 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 3: four states in the cun we've lost jobs, private sext jobs. 232 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 3: The rest of the country has grown like crazy. 233 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 1: I was looking on your website at the Pioneer Institute, which, 234 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 1: by the way, Pioneer Institute dot org if you're interested 235 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 1: out there. You had a study that said net out 236 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 1: migration of wealth from Massachusetts nearly quinntupled from twenty twelve 237 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:03,200 Speaker 1: to twenty twenty one money wealth just flowing out of Massachusetts. 238 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,959 Speaker 1: Why is that and what are the consequences to the state. 239 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,720 Speaker 3: Then, well, you know it's Look, it's it's simple math. 240 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 3: In real terms, the state budget has it's by about 241 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 3: thirty percent in fifteen years, and people's household income has 242 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 3: only grown thirteen percent. There are many people who say 243 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 3: that Massachusetts is not investible because of policies at the 244 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 3: City of Boston advances, but also the cost of doing 245 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 3: business here, Scott, I guess when I put into very 246 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 3: simple terms, look, North Carolina is not that different from 247 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 3: Massachusetts in terms of industry mix, the size of the state. 248 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 3: I mean, North Caroline's got the research Triangle's Charlotte's got finance, 249 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 3: it's got healthcare, It's got professional, scientific, technologal businesses and 250 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 3: jobs just like we do.

We've lost twenty five thousand jobs. 253 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 3: I mean, no real opportunity here because people not investing, 254 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 3: because the policies are not welcoming. 255 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 2: Jim, I've got about thirty seconds. 256 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 1: I did want to ask you a question about one 257 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 1: Democrat who is in office here I saw a story 258 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 1: the other day about the state auditor, Diana Dezoglio. She 259 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 1: looked like me, like she was trying to do something 260 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 1: right and she was fighting with some of these old 261 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 1: school Democrats in the legislature. Is Auditor Dezoglio someone that 262 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 1: I know you're a conservative think tank, But do you 263 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 1: think she's on the right track when it comes to 264 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 1: auditing and ferreting out waste, fraud and abuse in Massachusetts 265 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 1: state government? 266 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 3: Absolutely? Look, if you look at Poles ten years ago, 267 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 3: people in Massachusetts were still thinking that they could trust 268 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 3: the state government with their dollars. If you look at 269 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 3: any of the polling now with the state government saying 270 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 3: no way, we're not going to allow ourselves to get audited, 271 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 3: she really put her thumb on an issue. Now about 272 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 3: seventy five percent of the people don't trust their government 273 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 3: with their money.

I want to first just 341 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:38,240 Speaker 2: ask you about the news. 342 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:42,640 Speaker 1: What happened this morning that is causing the Artemis rocket 343 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:43,359 Speaker 1: flight delay. 344 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 9: Absolutely, yesterday morning, we undertook the wet dress rehearsal, which 345 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 9: is a fueling test of our Space launch System rocket, 346 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,879 Speaker 9: the SLS that's not at launch Pad thirty nine D 347 00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:00,359 Speaker 9: here at Kennedy Space Center. We do these tests to 348 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,119 Speaker 9: any launches to ensure that our vehicles are ready to 349 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,879 Speaker 9: safely transport crew into space. And throughout that test, we 350 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 9: encountered a couple of challenges, which is precisely why we 351 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 9: conduct these tests, so that we can find them and 352 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,960 Speaker 9: address them prior to the actual launch day. 353 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:16,160 Speaker 3: As a result of. 354 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,959 Speaker 9: That, we're going to take this rocket back in and 355 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,640 Speaker 9: we are going to address these issues, and we are 356 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,119 Speaker 9: going to take the rocket back out to the pad 357 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:26,920 Speaker 9: and then pursue lunch. 358 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:32,480 Speaker 1: And it says here that you have future available launch 359 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 1: opportunities from March sixth through March ninth. You could do 360 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,680 Speaker 1: it on March eleventh, then you also have additional dates 361 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,560 Speaker 1: in April. Is it your anticipation that you'll try again 362 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 1: on March the sixth. 363 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,880 Speaker 9: We're looking at March right now. We have not solidified 364 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,359 Speaker 9: a specific date there, but we are optimistic that the 365 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 9: March window will be a go. 366 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:54,200 Speaker 2: All right. 367 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: That's Bethany Stevens with NASA talking to us about the 368 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,359 Speaker 1: Artemis launch. It has been delayed. We're looking at dates 369 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 1: in March and April. Bethany, when this rocket leaves Earth, 370 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,159 Speaker 1: tell me, what are you hoping to accomplish with the mission? 371 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 1: It doesn't land on the moon, it goes around the moon. 372 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,439 Speaker 1: But what is the purpose of this moonless lunar mission? 373 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 9: Absolutely so, this is potentially the farthest Americans or anyone 374 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,119 Speaker 9: will have gone from Earth ever. So it's historic in 375 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 9: that regard. But this is the first step in terms 376 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 9: of crude missions as a part of the Artemis campaign 377 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,640 Speaker 9: that will help us to eventually get American boots back 378 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,680 Speaker 9: on the lunar surface, but also to establish a lunar presence. 379 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 9: So that means for the President's National Space Policy that 380 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 9: we're going to establish a lunar base and continue using 381 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 9: what we learned from that to go onwards to Mars 382 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:45,679 Speaker 9: and even further than ever before. 383 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,399 Speaker 1: So this will be the furthest away from Earth that 384 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:54,000 Speaker 1: human beings have ever been. That's a cool fact, and 385 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,159 Speaker 1: we haven't been to the Moon in over fifty three years. 386 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 1: The President, of course, would like to establish a Moon base. 387 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:02,160 Speaker 1: As you pointed out, when you look at the old missions, 388 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 1: the old NASA missions to the Moon and all the 389 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 1: work that was done over the decades, how helpful is 390 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:11,439 Speaker 1: looking at that old tape, the old data, the old missions. 391 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,640 Speaker 1: How helpful is all that in guiding how you plan 392 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,920 Speaker 1: out this lunar launch and the idea of going back 393 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:18,399 Speaker 1: to the Moon here in the next few years. 394 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 9: It's very helpful. You'll see that on Apollo eight, the 395 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 9: last time that we went around the Moon, it followed 396 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 9: a very similar flight path to what we're looking at 397 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 9: for Artemis two. So we're definitely able to gain insights 398 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 9: from those previous missions. But you'll also note that the 399 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:40,399 Speaker 9: Mass Administrator, Jared Isaacman, has said that it's said that 400 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 9: we ever lost sight of the Moon to begin with. So, 401 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:47,399 Speaker 9: as you mentioned, the President has indicated his desire to 402 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 9: go back to the Moon. Actually, under his first administration, 403 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,440 Speaker 9: he established the Artemis program so that we could get 404 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,360 Speaker 9: Americans back on the lunar surface, and now we're one 405 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 9: step closer to that with Artemis two and then onto 406 00:22:59,040 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 9: Artemis three. 407 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 1: So we haven't been to the Moon in fifty three years. 408 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:08,640 Speaker 1: Is it the administrator and the President's anticipation that American 409 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 1: astronauts will step foot on the Moon before Donald Trump 410 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 1: leaves office? 411 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:18,359 Speaker 9: Absolutely before twenty twenty eight, And we're working on that diligently, 412 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 9: even through our Artemis two preparations. We're working on the 413 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 9: human Landing system, which is what's going to enable us 414 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,560 Speaker 9: to put those American boots back on the Moon. We're 415 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,359 Speaker 9: working on the space suits, which you've all seen the 416 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:33,159 Speaker 9: iconic shot of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin and all 417 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 9: the other people who have walked on the surface of 418 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,280 Speaker 9: the Moon. We're looking to do that again, and we're 419 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,200 Speaker 9: looking to do it before the President leaves office. 420 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 1: That voice you're hearing is Bethany Stevens. She is the 421 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:47,920 Speaker 1: Press Secretary at official spokeswoman for NASA. You can follow 422 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 1: her by the way on x at NASA spokes spox 423 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 1: at NASA spokes So you mentioned a moment ago that 424 00:23:56,320 --> 00:24:00,640 Speaker 1: the President and Administrator Isaacman of NASA have a National 425 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 1: Space policy. Tell us about the holistic goals of the 426 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,119 Speaker 1: National Space policy. I know we want to go to 427 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,119 Speaker 1: the Moon, but overall what are we trying to accomplish 428 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:09,719 Speaker 1: in space? 429 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:11,399 Speaker 2: How will it benefit the American people. 430 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,640 Speaker 9: Absolutely, it's no secret that we have a huge geopolitical 431 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:17,720 Speaker 9: rival in China. 432 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 5: It's also no. 433 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,160 Speaker 9: Secret that China is making huge progress on their own 434 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 9: lunar missions. The Chinese National Space Agency CNSA has indicated 435 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 9: that they aim to get to the Moon before twenty thirty. 436 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 9: As we just spoke about, we are hoping to get 437 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 9: back to the Moon before twenty twenty eight is over. 438 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 9: That said, we're in the midst of a second space 439 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 9: race here. The first one was with the Soviet Union 440 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 9: back during the Cold War era, and now today we 441 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 9: are hoping to get back because there is a national 442 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 9: security interest in space and establishing the ultimate high ground. 443 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,479 Speaker 9: The President is hoping to establish through this National Space Policy, 444 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:57,680 Speaker 9: which is actually an executive order, about establishing space superiority, 445 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,639 Speaker 9: making sure that we are for acting American dominance in 446 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:05,399 Speaker 9: the ultimate high ground, so that will include life changing 447 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:10,480 Speaker 9: science and crude missions and all kinds of things, including 448 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:14,359 Speaker 9: a nuclear reactor on the Moon, and including establishing a 449 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 9: lunar base where we can continually send American astronauts up 450 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,880 Speaker 9: to the Moon and hopefully establish a persistent lunar presence. 451 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 2: Do you anticipate that a lunar base would be fully 452 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:28,479 Speaker 2: a military base or do you think it would be 453 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 2: part part commercial, part civilian. What is the vision of that. 454 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:39,200 Speaker 9: This specific lunar base will be entirely civilian? Actually, under 455 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 9: President Trump, we established the Artemis Accords. We now have 456 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,480 Speaker 9: over sixty nations that are partners with us in that 457 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 9: endeavor to keep space exploration peaceful and transparent. So the 458 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 9: lunar base that we're talking about over here at NASA 459 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 9: will be entirely civilian. However, it is worth noting that CNSA, 460 00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 9: the Chinese National Space Agency, is both civil and mili 461 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:04,879 Speaker 9: carry space, so they potentially are going with militaristic endeavors. 462 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 1: And this Artemis rocket, I want to ask you about 463 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:10,959 Speaker 1: the nature of the rocket. 464 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 2: Is it who built it? 465 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,879 Speaker 1: This is not a SpaceX rocket, but I know NASA 466 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:21,239 Speaker 1: is working with companies like SpaceX on its endeavors. Kind 467 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,120 Speaker 1: of talk to us about this specific rocket that we're 468 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,200 Speaker 1: using this year, how you partner with SpaceX, and how 469 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 1: sort of it all works together government with private companies 470 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 1: as we look to the future of space. 471 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 9: Absolutely now that has a huge coalition of commercial partnerships. 472 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,960 Speaker 9: The specific rocket that we're using for this mission and 473 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:45,240 Speaker 9: for Artemis three is the SLS, which is the space 474 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:48,639 Speaker 9: launch system that is built by Boeing in conjunction with 475 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 9: other commercial partners and then the actual spacecraft that the 476 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:56,239 Speaker 9: crew will be inside, the Orion spacecraft, is built by 477 00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 9: Lockheed Martin. There are other components of the mission. You 478 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,719 Speaker 9: mentioned Space ax who's building us a human landing system 479 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:06,160 Speaker 9: for Artemis three. Blue Origin is also building a human 480 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,639 Speaker 9: landing system for a later Artemis mission. So there's so 481 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 9: many people that are involved in this. Axiom is building 482 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 9: the spacesuits, and there are many more that are helping 483 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,119 Speaker 9: us to meet these critical goals. 484 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 1: Now, ultimately, when you send astronauts back to the Moon, 485 00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 1: which you hope to do before Trump leaves office, how 486 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 1: do you choose them? I mean, there's obviously people in 487 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,359 Speaker 1: the astronaut program, but for the Americans who are going 488 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 1: to set foot on the Moon for the first time 489 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,880 Speaker 1: in over fifty years, how does the administrator, how does 490 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,679 Speaker 1: the program go about choosing those special people who are 491 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,199 Speaker 1: gonna you know, that'll be that'll be one of the 492 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,359 Speaker 1: biggest events of Donald Trump's entire administrator will be one 493 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,359 Speaker 1: of the biggest events in decades for the world. 494 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:49,639 Speaker 2: How do you pick those people? 495 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,879 Speaker 9: Absolutely, it's very exciting. We pick these people based on 496 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:58,880 Speaker 9: merit alone. We have an incredibly accomplished astronaut corps. They're 497 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 9: all based out of Johnson's Space Center in Houston, Texas, 498 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 9: and we have many people who are ex military. We 499 00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:09,159 Speaker 9: have accomplished medical professionals. We have people who have experience 500 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 9: that's derived from all different sectors, and that leads us 501 00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:17,159 Speaker 9: to an incredibly talented astronaut pool to choose from. We 502 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:21,440 Speaker 9: have yet to establish or choose the Artemis three astronauts, 503 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,399 Speaker 9: but there's not really a way that you can go 504 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:25,119 Speaker 9: wrong when we have as much talent as we do 505 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 9: here at NASA. So it's definitely a big decision and 506 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,119 Speaker 9: I'm excited to see who the agency ends up choosing. 507 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,120 Speaker 9: That's a decision that will be made between the Astronaut 508 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:36,159 Speaker 9: Office out of Houston and the Chief Astronaut, along with 509 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:39,720 Speaker 9: the administrator and leadership at NAESSA, as well as obviously 510 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:40,800 Speaker 9: the White House and the President. 511 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 1: That voice you're hearing Bethany Stevens.

She comes to US Live today from 513 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 1: Cape Canaveral at the Kennedy Space Center. The news of 514 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 1: the day is that NASA completed a dress rehearsal for 515 00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 1: the Artemis two mission in the early morning hours on 516 00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:02,720 Speaker 1: February third, and because of some issues in that dress rehearsal, 517 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,680 Speaker 1: the launch has been postponed, but there are dates in 518 00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 1: March and April for this mission, which will fly a 519 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:12,560 Speaker 1: rocket around the Moon and ultimately send humans as far 520 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:16,360 Speaker 1: away from Earth as they have ever been. Bethany, thank 521 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,720 Speaker 1: you so much for joining us on the Scott Jennings Show. 522 00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 1: We're going to take a break and when we come back, 523 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:23,720 Speaker 1: a little bit of immigration news.

I want 591 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:32,920 Speaker 1: to close out the hour by the way talking to 592 00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:39,160 Speaker 1: you about propaganda. The fight over immigration in the United 593 00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:44,280 Speaker 1: States has, as much as anything, devolved into an information war. 594 00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,080 Speaker 1: And coming up next hour, by the way, my friend 595 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:51,360 Speaker 1: Brent Buchanan from Signal Polling has some insightful new polling 596 00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:54,240 Speaker 1: numbers on the American electorate. I think Democrats, by the way, 597 00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:57,480 Speaker 1: are going to find they are way out over their 598 00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:00,960 Speaker 1: skis when it comes to this coddling the illegal immigration 599 00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:03,960 Speaker 1: and this demand to defund ice. But we'll talk about 600 00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:08,239 Speaker 1: that in a few minutes. This propaganda war, though, has 601 00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:13,560 Speaker 1: manifested itself in story after story that's told to you 602 00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:18,920 Speaker 1: to confuse you, to lie to you, to cause you 603 00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,279 Speaker 1: to believe things that just aren't true. The five year 604 00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:23,960 Speaker 1: old kid in Minneapolis, remember that the details that you 605 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:27,319 Speaker 1: got initially, that's not what happened at all. Renee Good, 606 00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:32,399 Speaker 1: remember what you were told initially, random passerby accidentally caught 607 00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:35,640 Speaker 1: up in traffic, That's not what happened. Remember that you 608 00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:39,719 Speaker 1: were told ice rated a daycare. Didn't happen. They were 609 00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:43,560 Speaker 1: chasing someone who ran into a daycare. Here's a new 610 00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:45,920 Speaker 1: one today out of Los Angeles that I thought I 611 00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:51,800 Speaker 1: would share. KTLA Television in Los Angeles reported the news 612 00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:56,920 Speaker 1: this way. A San Fernando Valley community is outraged and 613 00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:01,920 Speaker 1: devastated after federal immigration agents forced their way onto the 614 00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:05,200 Speaker 1: grounds of a church during a food giveaway and arrested 615 00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:10,200 Speaker 1: a man who church officials say helps with children's ministries. Now, 616 00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:14,359 Speaker 1: reading that, you might think I don't like that, but 617 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:18,120 Speaker 1: that's not what happened. Here's the real story, straight from 618 00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:21,359 Speaker 1: the Border Patrol. They weren't targeting a church. They were 619 00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:27,080 Speaker 1: targeting and illegal alien named Carlos Chavez Guzman, a Mexican 620 00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:30,680 Speaker 1: illegal alien. I guess I can say that they're telling me, 621 00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,160 Speaker 1: I can't say that in some venues. I'm gonna say 622 00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:36,240 Speaker 1: it illegal alien. He was deported from the United States 623 00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:40,920 Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen. He illegally re entered the country, a felony. Agents. 624 00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:45,000 Speaker 1: Border Patrol agents approached this man legitimate thing to do, 625 00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:47,960 Speaker 1: and of course he ran away, causing a footchase. He 626 00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:51,080 Speaker 1: was tracked down and arrested by agents. Lots of crimes here, 627 00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:54,560 Speaker 1: entering in the first place, illegal re entering, felony, running 628 00:35:54,600 --> 00:36:00,480 Speaker 1: from cops, felony. But the propaganda from KTLA makes you 629 00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:04,120 Speaker 1: think that the Border Patrol was rating against their will. 630 00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:05,560 Speaker 2: Some church. 631 00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,120 Speaker 1: We are fully committed to telling you the truth on 632 00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:13,240 Speaker 1: this show, but understand much of what you're being told 633 00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:17,279 Speaker 1: about what's happening with immigration is propaganda. They want you emotional, 634 00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:19,759 Speaker 1: and they want you stupid, and I want you to 635 00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:22,520 Speaker 1: have the facts and I want you to have clear eyes. 636 00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:23,719 Speaker 2: That's what you get. 637 00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:26,280 Speaker 1: More coming up in the next hour, it's common Sense 638 00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:27,880 Speaker 1: for the American People. 639 00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,040 Speaker 2: We're on Salem.

Democrats are way way way out over 650 00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:18,240 Speaker 1: their skis way off message when it comes to dealing 651 00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:21,160 Speaker 1: with the illegal immigration crisis in America. 652 00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:23,640 Speaker 2: You don't want to miss this conversation. 653 00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:26,960 Speaker 1: We do have some breaking news House Republicans have ended 654 00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:32,000 Speaker 1: the short partial Democrat shutdown, voting two hundred and seventeen 655 00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:34,600 Speaker 1: to two hundred and fifteen to fund the government. Just 656 00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:38,920 Speaker 1: a few moments ago, Magic Mike Johnson delivers again. NASA 657 00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:44,680 Speaker 1: has scrubbed its Artemis two space launch today during address rehearsal. Overnight, 658 00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:47,520 Speaker 1: some hydrogen was leaking, so back to the garage for 659 00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:50,680 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks. They'll try again in March or April. 660 00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:53,560 Speaker 1: The administration remains committed to putting a man on the 661 00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:58,720 Speaker 1: moon before Trump leaves office. President Trump is touting talks 662 00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:04,560 Speaker 1: with Iran the Friday, dispatching his envoy Steve Whitkoff and 663 00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:08,160 Speaker 1: his son in law Jared Kushner to meet with a regime. 664 00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:11,800 Speaker 1: The New York Times says the Iranian regime is willing 665 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:15,719 Speaker 1: to do away, perhaps with its nuclear program, although I 666 00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:18,840 Speaker 1: thought we did away with it for them last summer. 667 00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:22,680 Speaker 1: Iran is demanding changes to the venue in format for 668 00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:26,840 Speaker 1: these negotiations. We'll see if the talks actually proceed. And 669 00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:30,920 Speaker 1: today there has been a military skirmish. The United States 670 00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:34,640 Speaker 1: shot down an Iranian drone that had approached the USS. 671 00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:40,680 Speaker 1: Abraham Lincoln White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt confirming the details. 672 00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,800 Speaker 2: Here is Caroline today. 673 00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:46,359 Speaker 11: I did speak with folks over at the Pentagon this 674 00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:51,359 Speaker 11: morning who said that SEDCOM acted both appropriately and necessarily 675 00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:55,120 Speaker 11: to protect our US personnel and equipment in the region. 676 00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:58,279 Speaker 11: So SEDCOM did make the decision to shoot down that 677 00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:01,160 Speaker 11: Iranian drone. It was on de manned, it was acting 678 00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:05,880 Speaker 11: aggressively towards our USS Lincoln, which we know that aircraft 679 00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:09,080 Speaker 11: carrier is in the region, at the direction of President Trump. 680 00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:12,720 Speaker 11: As for the President, he remains committed to always pursuing 681 00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:16,640 Speaker 11: diplomacy first. But in order for diplomacy to work, of course, 682 00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:19,520 Speaker 11: it takes two to tango, you need a willing partner 683 00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:23,240 Speaker 11: to engage, and so that's something the President and Special 684 00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:27,440 Speaker 11: Envoy Witcoff are exploring and discussing right now. A Special 685 00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:31,319 Speaker 11: Envoy Witcoff is set to have conversations with the Iranians 686 00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:34,879 Speaker 11: later this week. Those are still scheduled as of right now. 687 00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:38,120 Speaker 11: But of course the President has always a range of 688 00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:41,319 Speaker 11: options on the table, and that includes the use of 689 00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:44,560 Speaker 11: military force. The Iranians know that better than anyone. Just 690 00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:48,680 Speaker 11: look no further than the highly successful Operation Midnight Hammer, 691 00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:51,359 Speaker 11: which took not just Iron but the entire world by 692 00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:56,520 Speaker 11: surprise and completely obliterated their nuclear capabilities earlier last year. 693 00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:02,400 Speaker 1: With me to discuss all of this is Benham Ben Talablue, 694 00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:06,600 Speaker 1: the Iran Program Senior Director and Senior Fellow at the 695 00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:11,759 Speaker 1: Foundation for Defense of Democracies. Benham, Welcome in to the 696 00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:14,600 Speaker 1: Scott Jennings Show. I'd like to get your reaction to 697 00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:17,920 Speaker 1: all of this, the possible talks, the shooting down of 698 00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:21,239 Speaker 1: the drone. What you heard Caroline Levitt say, where do 699 00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:23,640 Speaker 1: we stand with Iran right now? 700 00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:24,400 Speaker 2: In your opinion? 701 00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,160 Speaker 12: Well, it's a pleasure to be with you, Scott. Listen, 702 00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:31,120 Speaker 12: we're either on the precipice of a bad deal or 703 00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:34,360 Speaker 12: a military conflict. But to what end is the million 704 00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:36,880 Speaker 12: dollar question? And I think President Trump has everybody right 705 00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:40,120 Speaker 12: where he wants them, with both allies and adversaries alike 706 00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:43,120 Speaker 12: trying to guess and figure out and hedge as it 707 00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:46,400 Speaker 12: comes to his next move. In twenty twenty five, for example, 708 00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:50,359 Speaker 12: we saw President Trump literally go through every option on 709 00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:52,920 Speaker 12: the table as it comes to Iran. The reason now 710 00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:55,680 Speaker 12: we're talking about these Lama republic In twenty twenty six, however, 711 00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:58,720 Speaker 12: is that there was massive nationwide protests and these Lamach 712 00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:03,000 Speaker 12: Republic brutally brutally repressed those protests, and the president, not 713 00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:05,879 Speaker 12: talking about nuclear and not talking about missile, not talking 714 00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:09,279 Speaker 12: about terrorism, not talking about maritime, drew not one, but 715 00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:12,480 Speaker 12: multiple red lines in the sand there and said that 716 00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:15,000 Speaker 12: if the regime continued to crack down, that he would 717 00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:17,360 Speaker 12: hold those who cracked down responsible, that the US was 718 00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:20,000 Speaker 12: locked and loaded, and that more recently help was on 719 00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:23,040 Speaker 12: its way. Now, in my view, there is no nuclear 720 00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:25,799 Speaker 12: deal off ramp that the US Special Envoy or the 721 00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:28,799 Speaker 12: president's son in law at this point in time can 722 00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:32,200 Speaker 12: negotiate with a regime like the Islamic Republic. Lest we forget, 723 00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:34,200 Speaker 12: this is a regime that has a bounty on the 724 00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:37,600 Speaker 12: president's head, has a fatwah against him, against his property, 725 00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:39,920 Speaker 12: and even against the female members of his family. Always 726 00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:43,360 Speaker 12: important to remember that here and then moving forward, of course, 727 00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:48,759 Speaker 12: we can't forget that Donald Trump really broke the taboobs laughter, 728 00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:51,440 Speaker 12: the sacred cow that used to govern Washington, d C. 729 00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:54,360 Speaker 12: For decades that said you can't even provide political or 730 00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:57,760 Speaker 12: moral support for protesters. He showed that was absolutely possible 731 00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:00,400 Speaker 12: in term one. Now in term two, when the regime 732 00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:02,279 Speaker 12: is trying to call his bluff to see if he 733 00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:05,359 Speaker 12: would do more than provide moral or political support for protesters. 734 00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:07,640 Speaker 12: You have the Abraham Lincoln in the region, and the 735 00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:09,960 Speaker 12: Runians right now are trying to buzz or have tried 736 00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:12,560 Speaker 12: to buzz that with a Shahad one thirty nine drone. 737 00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:15,600 Speaker 12: It's a modified drone. It's an unmanned combat aerial vehicle. 738 00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:18,960 Speaker 12: It can do surveillance and reconnaissance, but more importantly, it 739 00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:22,560 Speaker 12: can carry guided munitions. And I think it was precisely 740 00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:25,239 Speaker 12: prudent for the USS Abraham Lincoln to launch that F 741 00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:27,680 Speaker 12: thirty five and take out that drone so that there's 742 00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:30,400 Speaker 12: a strong signal of resolve. So whatever direction the president 743 00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:34,239 Speaker 12: goes in that he can take the best hand with him. 744 00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:40,000 Speaker 1: In your opinion, how close is the Iranian regime to 745 00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:43,840 Speaker 1: falling and can it fall without a push from the 746 00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:48,120 Speaker 1: United States or do you believe that only military intervention 747 00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:51,280 Speaker 1: will ultimately lead to regime change in Tehran? 748 00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:55,160 Speaker 12: You know, this is a regime that is weak, but 749 00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:57,480 Speaker 12: it is still very lethal, and that's what we have 750 00:42:57,560 --> 00:42:59,719 Speaker 12: to remember. This is a regime that is willing and 751 00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:02,920 Speaker 12: I'm nfortunately just proved that is shooting its way out 752 00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:05,680 Speaker 12: of the crisis. Under the cover of an Internet blackout, 753 00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:09,080 Speaker 12: thirty six to forty three thousand Iranians have been killed 754 00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:12,360 Speaker 12: in a record matter of days, shattering both records for 755 00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:16,240 Speaker 12: killings and executions inside the Islamic Republic in contemporary Runian 756 00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:21,120 Speaker 12: history and even comparable to some grotesque twentieth century massacres 757 00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:25,840 Speaker 12: in recorded history. In that case, an unarmed pro American, 758 00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:29,680 Speaker 12: pro Western population in the heartland of the Muslim Middle 759 00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:34,680 Speaker 12: East needs support. It is highly unlikely that this unarmed 760 00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:38,399 Speaker 12: population is going to be able to overcome and overwhelm 761 00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:41,920 Speaker 12: the regime and its layered security forces. And here I believe, 762 00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:44,200 Speaker 12: as Henry kiss injury used to stay many years ago, 763 00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:47,000 Speaker 12: and as it's abscribed to him, that foreign policy is 764 00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:50,920 Speaker 12: not missionary work. There's a huge difference between foreign imposed 765 00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:53,839 Speaker 12: regime change, which is something that Uncle Sam unfortunately has 766 00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:57,000 Speaker 12: done in this region and hasn't had great successes with, 767 00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:00,799 Speaker 12: versus foreign supported regime change. You know, if we could 768 00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:03,319 Speaker 12: flip the script on the iatolas, I think that would 769 00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:05,760 Speaker 12: be a huge strategic and political win for the president, 770 00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:07,280 Speaker 12: not just a moral one. 771 00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:10,840 Speaker 2: We have about a minute to go. I'm just going 772 00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:12,120 Speaker 2: to ask you point blank. 773 00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:15,840 Speaker 1: The President has broad peace plans for the Middle East, 774 00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:18,680 Speaker 1: and he has done more than virtually any other president 775 00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:21,279 Speaker 1: in my lifetime to get there. But in order to 776 00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:25,920 Speaker 1: achieve his full vision, does he need Iran to fall? 777 00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:28,959 Speaker 1: Does he need to get rid of the Iapolla or 778 00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:32,960 Speaker 1: can he still achieve peace if somehow this regime survives. 779 00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:37,359 Speaker 12: I think at best the President would be holding his 780 00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:40,719 Speaker 12: vision for peace together and more importantly prosperity together with 781 00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:43,040 Speaker 12: spit and gum and glue, and it would not out, 782 00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:46,759 Speaker 12: and it would not have a political legacy beyond his administration. 783 00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:49,480 Speaker 12: There is no way out but through here. Uncle Sam 784 00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:52,400 Speaker 12: needs to help flip the script to empower the street 785 00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:54,880 Speaker 12: in Iran, which is pro American and pro Israeli, against 786 00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:56,840 Speaker 12: the state which is the most anti American and the 787 00:44:56,840 --> 00:45:00,480 Speaker 12: most anti Israeli in that part of the world. The peace, 788 00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:03,600 Speaker 12: the path of prosperity, the path to stability, only can 789 00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:07,400 Speaker 12: happen when you take out Tetron's theocrats. Those American partners 790 00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:10,360 Speaker 12: in the region who are currently hedging, which believe that 791 00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:13,720 Speaker 12: statist equal stability, needs to only look to the past 792 00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:16,360 Speaker 12: forty seven years to realize that by locking in the 793 00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:20,120 Speaker 12: Islamic Republic. They had only guaranteed further instability. 794 00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:26,759 Speaker 1: That voice you're hearing Benhem ben Taliblue, the Iran Program 795 00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:31,680 Speaker 1: Senior Director and Senior Fellow at the Foundation for Defense 796 00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:35,640 Speaker 1: of Democracies.

The facts are protesters are being slaughtered. 799 00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:48,080 Speaker 1: The Iranian regime continues to chant death to America. They 800 00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:52,360 Speaker 1: are sending drones to buzz the USS Abraham Lincoln, and 801 00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:55,480 Speaker 1: we're planning to talk. I'm not holding my breath if 802 00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:58,360 Speaker 1: they'll have anything useful to say, but we'll check with 803 00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:01,880 Speaker 1: you as develop helpment's warrant.

But the same political ecosystem that gave 839 00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:12,319 Speaker 1: us Beto O'Rourke and then Pete Bootage has now rolled 840 00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:16,960 Speaker 1: out version three point zero of this kind of candidate. 841 00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:22,440 Speaker 1: His name is James Tallarico. Now, Tallarico is different, but 842 00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:25,640 Speaker 1: not in a good way. He is not your garden 843 00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:30,440 Speaker 1: variety radical progressive. He actually tries to put a religious 844 00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:36,640 Speaker 1: spin on his radical liberal progressive politics. He is not 845 00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:39,840 Speaker 1: just coming to take your guns, to trans your kids, 846 00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:44,520 Speaker 1: and to reorder American society from top to bottom. He 847 00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:47,160 Speaker 1: is going to do it while telling you that God 848 00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:52,239 Speaker 1: is totally cool with it. That's the pitch, anyway. And 849 00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:54,960 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but that's not bold. It's not brave, and 850 00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:59,720 Speaker 1: it's not compassionate. In fact, I think it's deeply sick stuff. 851 00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:02,440 Speaker 1: Don't take my word for it, though. Let's hear it 852 00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:06,000 Speaker 1: straight from his mouth. Let's play tall Rico Cut four. 853 00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:10,560 Speaker 7: The first two lines of the Bible. The first two 854 00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:16,800 Speaker 7: lines in Genesis used two different Hebrew words to describe God. 855 00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:23,760 Speaker 7: One is the masculine Hebrew noun for divinity. The second 856 00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:29,560 Speaker 7: is the feminine Hebrew noun for spirit. God is both 857 00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:37,200 Speaker 7: masculine and feminine, and everything in between. God is non binary. 858 00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:41,960 Speaker 2: God is non binary. 859 00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:45,200 Speaker 1: Tall Rico says, I don't think you need to be 860 00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:48,879 Speaker 1: a master theologian or have gone to seminary or even 861 00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:53,040 Speaker 1: cracked open a Bible lately to understand how off base 862 00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:56,719 Speaker 1: this man is. But here's the thing he nor does 863 00:49:56,719 --> 00:49:59,839 Speaker 1: the progressive left actually care, because they'll clap for this, 864 00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:04,680 Speaker 1: They'll NodD along, they'll celebrate this use of religion to 865 00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:11,600 Speaker 1: justify mutilation of children. They use religion as a tool 866 00:50:11,840 --> 00:50:16,040 Speaker 1: to advance their ideology. Faith isn't sacred to them. It 867 00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:19,920 Speaker 1: is instrumental, and it doesn't stop with twisting theology to 868 00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:23,200 Speaker 1: justify radical social policy. It also shows up in the 869 00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:27,839 Speaker 1: way Tallarico talks about other Christians, Christians who simply don't 870 00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:31,080 Speaker 1: share his politics. Remember he serves in the Texas State 871 00:50:31,120 --> 00:50:34,520 Speaker 1: House alongside people who are in fact openly Christian. 872 00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:37,920 Speaker 2: Listen to how he talks about them. Here's cut three. 873 00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:41,520 Speaker 11: And that odlies to Muslims and Hindus. 874 00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:41,799 Speaker 12: I have. 875 00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:44,120 Speaker 2: This is the you know, they can learn a lot. 876 00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:47,080 Speaker 13: I have Jesus, I have met, I have met so 877 00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:53,160 Speaker 13: many Hindus, Buddhists, seek Jews, Muslims, atheist agnostics who are 878 00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:55,799 Speaker 13: more christ Like than some of the Christians I serve 879 00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:57,120 Speaker 13: with in the text of legislature. 880 00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:03,280 Speaker 1: Now, look no offense to anyone who isn't a practicing Christian. 881 00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:06,120 Speaker 1: You are free Americans. You're entitled to your beliefs. But 882 00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:09,160 Speaker 1: I got to say, to be Christ's like it usually 883 00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:10,760 Speaker 1: helps to be a Christian. 884 00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:12,720 Speaker 2: It's right there in the name, after all. 885 00:51:13,480 --> 00:51:16,239 Speaker 1: And it is especially wild for tall Rico to argue 886 00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:20,319 Speaker 1: that an atheist, someone who explicitly rejects the existence of 887 00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:23,680 Speaker 1: God and the divinity of Christ, is somehow more christ 888 00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:26,120 Speaker 1: Like than people who actually believe in Christ. 889 00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:29,440 Speaker 2: That's not theology. That's political gas lighting. 890 00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:35,160 Speaker 1: Nothing matters to the left except gaslighting you into accepting 891 00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:40,000 Speaker 1: their agenda. Truth doesn't matter, consistency doesn't matter, faith doesn't matter. 892 00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:44,920 Speaker 1: And now he's justifying abortion with his biblical claims. 893 00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:46,000 Speaker 2: Here's cut number five. 894 00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:48,720 Speaker 7: But I think all this in terms in context of abortion, 895 00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:56,360 Speaker 7: because before God comes over Mary and we have the incarnation, 896 00:51:57,400 --> 00:52:02,359 Speaker 7: God asks for Mary's consent, which is remarkable. I mean, 897 00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:07,279 Speaker 7: go back and read this in Luke. I mean the 898 00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:10,799 Speaker 7: angel comes down and asks Mary if this is something 899 00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:13,279 Speaker 7: she wants to do, and she says, if it is 900 00:52:13,320 --> 00:52:15,799 Speaker 7: God's will, let it be done, let it be let 901 00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:18,759 Speaker 7: it happen. So to me, that is an affirmation in 902 00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:22,480 Speaker 7: one of our most central stories that creation has to 903 00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:25,640 Speaker 7: be done with consent. You cannot force someone to create. 904 00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:28,440 Speaker 7: Creation is one of the most sacred acts that that 905 00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:32,000 Speaker 7: we engage in as human beings. But that has to 906 00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:34,080 Speaker 7: be done with consent. It has to be done with freedom. 907 00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:39,280 Speaker 7: And to me, that is absolutely consistent with the ministry 908 00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:42,480 Speaker 7: and life and death of Jesus. And so that's that's 909 00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:44,840 Speaker 7: how I come down on that side of the issue. 910 00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:50,000 Speaker 1: James Tallerico says that an angel came and offered Mary 911 00:52:50,040 --> 00:52:53,480 Speaker 1: an abortion. That's his view to support his idea that 912 00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:55,840 Speaker 1: the Bible is pro choice. This man is a phony, 913 00:52:56,560 --> 00:52:59,719 Speaker 1: a liar, and a total joke. When we come back 914 00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:03,040 Speaker 1: holding on immigration, don't miss it at Scott Jennings here 915 00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:06,239 Speaker 1: on Salem.

Bad incentives baked into Obamacare have 919 00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:21,000 Speaker 1: sent cost soaring.

Brent, you all over at Signal published some 942 00:54:50,840 --> 00:54:56,200 Speaker 1: eye popping polling data yesterday and I was perusing this 943 00:54:56,560 --> 00:54:59,920 Speaker 1: and the only thing I can say is that democra 944 00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:04,840 Speaker 1: are absolutely out over their skis when it comes to 945 00:55:05,239 --> 00:55:08,960 Speaker 1: their political positioning on immigration. Brent, welcome back to the show. 946 00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:10,120 Speaker 1: Let's talk about this poll. 947 00:55:11,520 --> 00:55:11,759 Speaker 2: Man. 948 00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:12,760 Speaker 4: They live in a bubble. 949 00:55:12,840 --> 00:55:15,759 Speaker 6: If you watch the news and you polled people who 950 00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:19,439 Speaker 6: are delivering the news to us, quote news, you would 951 00:55:19,520 --> 00:55:22,640 Speaker 6: have a drastically different view than what Americans actually believe. 952 00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:25,160 Speaker 6: That's why we did this poll last week because I 953 00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:27,319 Speaker 6: knew there was a gap. I didn't realize there was 954 00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:31,440 Speaker 6: a chasm between the two. And even just starting with 955 00:55:31,560 --> 00:55:34,840 Speaker 6: the principle of what does illegal mean, you know, we 956 00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:37,000 Speaker 6: had to have this discussion of what is a man 957 00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:39,160 Speaker 6: and what is a woman. The Democrats still haven't figured 958 00:55:39,160 --> 00:55:41,399 Speaker 6: that one out. They also don't know what the word 959 00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:45,400 Speaker 6: illegal means. So seventy three percent of voters say that 960 00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:47,960 Speaker 6: if you came here without permission, you broke the law. 961 00:55:48,080 --> 00:55:49,520 Speaker 4: That is the definition of illegal. 962 00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:53,399 Speaker 6: But the reason it's so low is because forty five 963 00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:56,479 Speaker 6: percent of Democrats disagree with that statement, and of those 964 00:55:56,760 --> 00:56:00,760 Speaker 6: the remainder who do agree, it's very soft. They're super 965 00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:04,719 Speaker 6: tepid in their understanding of what the word illegally even means. 966 00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:06,759 Speaker 6: So if we can't agree on that, how do we 967 00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:09,480 Speaker 6: agree on deportation wise in any of these other issues. 968 00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:13,359 Speaker 1: Well, it's a good question, and I have sat on 969 00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:17,399 Speaker 1: many a CNN panel over the last several months, and 970 00:56:17,480 --> 00:56:21,239 Speaker 1: I have been chastised and condescended to about this. I've 971 00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:24,480 Speaker 1: been told by news anchors that it's not actually illegal 972 00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:26,160 Speaker 1: to enter our country illegally. 973 00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:27,600 Speaker 2: I was told by some. 974 00:56:27,719 --> 00:56:29,680 Speaker 1: Twerp the other night, I'm not allowed to use the 975 00:56:29,680 --> 00:56:35,360 Speaker 1: phrase illegal aliens anymore, even though that phrase does appear 976 00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:38,520 Speaker 1: in US law. But for the record, it is a 977 00:56:38,520 --> 00:56:42,040 Speaker 1: crime to come into the country illegally. It's also a 978 00:56:42,040 --> 00:56:44,480 Speaker 1: crime to come in, be deported and come back in. 979 00:56:44,760 --> 00:56:47,120 Speaker 1: It's also a crime to run away when you're trying 980 00:56:47,160 --> 00:56:48,880 Speaker 1: to be apprehended by ice. 981 00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:50,040 Speaker 2: We've seen that happening. 982 00:56:50,600 --> 00:56:55,040 Speaker 1: So according to your polling, though, despite all the propaganda about, oh, 983 00:56:55,080 --> 00:56:57,680 Speaker 1: it's not really a crime, you're saying, Brett, the American 984 00:56:57,719 --> 00:56:59,359 Speaker 1: people know full well that it is. 985 00:56:59,320 --> 00:57:01,840 Speaker 4: A crime unless you're a Democrat. 986 00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:06,560 Speaker 2: Yes, right, of course, unless you're a Democrat. All right, 987 00:57:06,640 --> 00:57:08,920 Speaker 2: So the first question very clear. 988 00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:12,680 Speaker 1: Three quarters of the American people say, yes, it is 989 00:57:12,880 --> 00:57:16,760 Speaker 1: a crime to enter the country illegally. Let's talk about 990 00:57:16,760 --> 00:57:19,480 Speaker 1: the severity of the problem. Another thing that we often 991 00:57:19,560 --> 00:57:22,640 Speaker 1: hear is that, oh, well, you know, why are we going. 992 00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:25,360 Speaker 2: After these illegal aliens? Is this really an issue? 993 00:57:25,400 --> 00:57:29,160 Speaker 1: And then they make up anecdotes or fantasy stories about 994 00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:31,760 Speaker 1: bakers who've been in the country for forty seven years 995 00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:34,800 Speaker 1: and they're just baking their muffins and they're not bothering anyone. 996 00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:38,120 Speaker 1: What are the American people have to say, according to 997 00:57:38,160 --> 00:57:41,960 Speaker 1: your polling about the severity of the problem of illegal immigration. 998 00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:46,800 Speaker 6: Well, let's start with Democrats, because they're in this parallel universe. 999 00:57:46,840 --> 00:57:49,600 Speaker 6: And it reminds me of this great movie Monty Python 1000 00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:52,720 Speaker 6: where the night is bleeding now has no legs and 1001 00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:56,880 Speaker 6: says tisimere flesh wound, And that's essentially where Democrats are 1002 00:57:56,960 --> 00:57:59,240 Speaker 6: right now, sixty one percent say it is not a 1003 00:57:59,240 --> 00:58:02,080 Speaker 6: serious problem, not even a problem at all, two thirds 1004 00:58:02,080 --> 00:58:05,320 Speaker 6: of Democrats. You go to look at voters overall, and 1005 00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:08,160 Speaker 6: it's two thirds say it is a somewhat or very 1006 00:58:08,200 --> 00:58:11,600 Speaker 6: serious problem. It's even stronger among swing voters. You go 1007 00:58:11,680 --> 00:58:14,760 Speaker 6: look at the demographics who matter and make decisions and 1008 00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:18,280 Speaker 6: who wins elections, they all strongly agree that this is 1009 00:58:18,320 --> 00:58:20,360 Speaker 6: a real problem. It's just on the other side of 1010 00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:24,120 Speaker 6: the ledger. The Democrats think it's tis mirror a flesh wind. 1011 00:58:25,640 --> 00:58:27,720 Speaker 1: I guess it stands to reason though, that if you're 1012 00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:30,240 Speaker 1: a Democrat who doesn't believe that it is illegal to 1013 00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:33,640 Speaker 1: enter the country anyway, then you wouldn't think illegal immigration 1014 00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:36,640 Speaker 1: was a problem because you don't actually believe that immigration 1015 00:58:37,200 --> 00:58:37,800 Speaker 1: is illegal. 1016 00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:39,320 Speaker 2: So I guess it stands to reason. 1017 00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:43,080 Speaker 1: But on this note, as an issue for electoral matters, 1018 00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:46,160 Speaker 1: you've got a political party that says, no, no, this isn't 1019 00:58:46,200 --> 00:58:48,920 Speaker 1: a problem. But you've got two thirds of the American 1020 00:58:48,960 --> 00:58:55,080 Speaker 1: people that say, yes, illegal immigration is a severe national problem. 1021 00:58:55,160 --> 00:58:57,120 Speaker 1: All right, So if you've got two thirds of the 1022 00:58:57,160 --> 00:59:00,120 Speaker 1: American people who say it's a problem, you've got three 1023 00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:02,520 Speaker 1: quarters of the American people who acknowledge that people are 1024 00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:04,840 Speaker 1: breaking the law when they come into the country illegally. 1025 00:59:05,400 --> 00:59:08,480 Speaker 1: Let's talk about what your polling found. What should we 1026 00:59:08,520 --> 00:59:13,600 Speaker 1: do about it? People's opinions of actual deportation. What do 1027 00:59:13,680 --> 00:59:16,320 Speaker 1: people think about deporting those who are here illegally? 1028 00:59:16,440 --> 00:59:19,320 Speaker 2: Brent Buchanan of Signal, A lot. 1029 00:59:19,120 --> 00:59:22,600 Speaker 6: Of times you see this question where it says deport 1030 00:59:22,680 --> 00:59:26,360 Speaker 6: those criminals who are here illegally. And I think that, 1031 00:59:26,640 --> 00:59:29,280 Speaker 6: of course, is going to perform well, because who's going 1032 00:59:29,360 --> 00:59:31,400 Speaker 6: to say keep criminals here? Except I bet there are 1033 00:59:31,680 --> 00:59:32,720 Speaker 6: many Democrats who. 1034 00:59:32,560 --> 00:59:33,360 Speaker 4: Would say that. 1035 00:59:33,720 --> 00:59:36,960 Speaker 6: So we wrote the question a bit more basic and said, 1036 00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:39,960 Speaker 6: do you support or depose those illegally here in the 1037 00:59:40,040 --> 00:59:44,640 Speaker 6: US back to their country of origin? Sixty one percent support, 1038 00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:48,560 Speaker 6: and then Democrats and their alternate reality sixty seven percent 1039 00:59:48,640 --> 00:59:51,720 Speaker 6: in opposition. And I begin to wonder as I look 1040 00:59:51,760 --> 00:59:54,520 Speaker 6: at all of this, because rule of law is common sense, 1041 00:59:55,600 --> 00:59:57,360 Speaker 6: and you know, these are the same people who are 1042 00:59:57,400 --> 01:00:00,800 Speaker 6: telling us to trust the science during COVID, yet they're 1043 01:00:00,800 --> 01:00:03,360 Speaker 6: completely ignoring the rule of law. And I really wonder 1044 01:00:03,400 --> 01:00:05,640 Speaker 6: how much of this is just the fact that Donald 1045 01:00:05,640 --> 01:00:08,040 Speaker 6: Trump thinks it's illegal. If you cross the border, which 1046 01:00:08,080 --> 01:00:11,880 Speaker 6: is common sense. And Donald Trump thinks that people need 1047 01:00:11,880 --> 01:00:14,840 Speaker 6: to go back who came here illegally, and therefore they 1048 01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:17,560 Speaker 6: have to oppose it. They it's like morally within their 1049 01:00:17,600 --> 01:00:20,080 Speaker 6: code that they cannot agree with Donald Trump on anything. 1050 01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:24,840 Speaker 1: And let's set some facts about your polling sample here. 1051 01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:27,520 Speaker 1: You pulled over a thousand Americans and these are all 1052 01:00:28,040 --> 01:00:29,240 Speaker 1: likely mid term voters. 1053 01:00:29,280 --> 01:00:32,880 Speaker 6: Correct, Correct, and we even set the frame because when 1054 01:00:32,920 --> 01:00:34,920 Speaker 6: you're doing polling, you've got to look at what is 1055 01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:35,800 Speaker 6: turnout going to be? 1056 01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:37,919 Speaker 4: And that is not just a number, It. 1057 01:00:37,880 --> 01:00:42,240 Speaker 6: Is a how it is, gender breakdown, how does age breakdown? Education, 1058 01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:45,600 Speaker 6: you know, college education versus not college education, Partisanship, There's 1059 01:00:45,640 --> 01:00:47,439 Speaker 6: a lot of factors that go into how we're looking 1060 01:00:47,440 --> 01:00:50,080 Speaker 6: at this. And our team has just decided that we're, 1061 01:00:50,160 --> 01:00:53,000 Speaker 6: at least this far out from the election, going to 1062 01:00:53,040 --> 01:00:55,640 Speaker 6: take a conservative approach to what we think the turnout's 1063 01:00:55,680 --> 01:00:57,360 Speaker 6: going to be, and that it's going to look a 1064 01:00:57,400 --> 01:00:59,440 Speaker 6: little bit more like twenty eighteen. 1065 01:00:59,040 --> 01:00:59,960 Speaker 4: Than it did twenty twenty. 1066 01:01:00,120 --> 01:01:02,880 Speaker 6: To you know, I'm beginning to believe with issues like 1067 01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:05,320 Speaker 6: this that we're going to see a midterm that looks 1068 01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:08,280 Speaker 6: more like twenty two. So you can almost take this 1069 01:01:08,320 --> 01:01:11,520 Speaker 6: as a worst case scenario poll that the numbers are 1070 01:01:11,640 --> 01:01:14,640 Speaker 6: likely better than this if Republicans are able to capitalize 1071 01:01:14,640 --> 01:01:18,360 Speaker 6: on this issue and really cast the Democrats as extreme, 1072 01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:20,720 Speaker 6: because that's what elections come down to. It's the reason 1073 01:01:20,760 --> 01:01:23,080 Speaker 6: that nobody had on their bingo car that we were 1074 01:01:23,120 --> 01:01:27,480 Speaker 6: going to close out the presidential election with transgendered sex 1075 01:01:27,600 --> 01:01:30,840 Speaker 6: changes for prisoners or men and women's sports. 1076 01:01:30,840 --> 01:01:32,280 Speaker 4: But here we are. That's how we. 1077 01:01:32,240 --> 01:01:34,280 Speaker 6: Closed out the election. And that's not because that was 1078 01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:37,000 Speaker 6: the most pressing issue. It's because that was a great 1079 01:01:37,040 --> 01:01:39,880 Speaker 6: way to show that the Democrats are extreme and radical 1080 01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:42,480 Speaker 6: and way outside the mainstream. And I view this immigration 1081 01:01:42,560 --> 01:01:45,920 Speaker 6: and deportation issue is the exact same opportunity. 1082 01:01:46,600 --> 01:01:48,920 Speaker 1: That voice you're hearing on the Scott Shedding Show today, 1083 01:01:48,960 --> 01:01:53,960 Speaker 1: that of Brent Buchanan of Signal cyg NAL, a leading 1084 01:01:54,520 --> 01:01:59,400 Speaker 1: polling organization for Republicans. We're talking about some national polling 1085 01:01:59,440 --> 01:02:02,360 Speaker 1: that Brent had company have just come out of a 1086 01:02:02,440 --> 01:02:06,040 Speaker 1: field with so on the issue of deportation, over sixty 1087 01:02:06,040 --> 01:02:09,280 Speaker 1: percent of midterm voters say deport those who are. 1088 01:02:09,200 --> 01:02:10,560 Speaker 2: Illegally in the United States. 1089 01:02:10,600 --> 01:02:12,960 Speaker 1: And you didn't parse it out and say those who 1090 01:02:13,040 --> 01:02:16,400 Speaker 1: are here illegally and have committed other crimes. This is 1091 01:02:16,480 --> 01:02:20,560 Speaker 1: simply if you're in the country illegally. Sixty percent of 1092 01:02:21,160 --> 01:02:23,520 Speaker 1: midterm voters want those people deported. 1093 01:02:23,600 --> 01:02:25,560 Speaker 2: That's a clear majority of the American people. 1094 01:02:26,480 --> 01:02:27,360 Speaker 4: Oh, it's huge. 1095 01:02:27,400 --> 01:02:29,680 Speaker 6: And I actually was digging in this morning and wrote 1096 01:02:29,680 --> 01:02:31,480 Speaker 6: an article about this, and you can check it out 1097 01:02:31,480 --> 01:02:35,640 Speaker 6: on my x profile of why is this so radically 1098 01:02:35,640 --> 01:02:38,400 Speaker 6: different of how the media is framing this and how 1099 01:02:38,440 --> 01:02:41,920 Speaker 6: American voters set Because if you look at the media framing, 1100 01:02:42,040 --> 01:02:45,840 Speaker 6: it's over ninety percent negative on the issue of deportation. 1101 01:02:45,960 --> 01:02:48,760 Speaker 6: And I found a subgroup of voters who I'm pretty 1102 01:02:48,840 --> 01:02:50,680 Speaker 6: darn sure as in control of the media, and it 1103 01:02:50,800 --> 01:02:53,680 Speaker 6: is young, white liberal women. They are ninety four percent 1104 01:02:53,680 --> 01:02:57,200 Speaker 6: opposed to deportations, ninety four percent, when the rest of 1105 01:02:57,200 --> 01:02:59,760 Speaker 6: the country is sixty one percent in support of it. 1106 01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:02,160 Speaker 4: I mean, that is a that's beyond a chasm. 1107 01:03:02,240 --> 01:03:04,040 Speaker 6: I don't know what the next adjective I can use 1108 01:03:04,080 --> 01:03:06,680 Speaker 6: to describe is, but it makes a lot of sense 1109 01:03:06,720 --> 01:03:09,840 Speaker 6: when you realize who is pushing this news to us 1110 01:03:09,880 --> 01:03:12,680 Speaker 6: and how radically different they are on this topic than 1111 01:03:13,240 --> 01:03:14,360 Speaker 6: literally everybody else. 1112 01:03:15,400 --> 01:03:17,480 Speaker 1: Well, it's not just this topic it's a lot of topics, 1113 01:03:17,480 --> 01:03:20,200 Speaker 1: but that'll be a conversation for another day. Rent a 1114 01:03:20,200 --> 01:03:22,959 Speaker 1: couple of more questions you asked, and you talked about 1115 01:03:22,960 --> 01:03:26,080 Speaker 1: the relentless negative media coverage. If it's ninety percent negative 1116 01:03:26,120 --> 01:03:29,640 Speaker 1: on deportations, it's one hundred percent negative when it comes 1117 01:03:29,800 --> 01:03:34,440 Speaker 1: specifically to ICE and ICE tactics. But in your survey, 1118 01:03:34,520 --> 01:03:38,400 Speaker 1: you found a majority of the American people support ICE, 1119 01:03:38,600 --> 01:03:43,800 Speaker 1: specifically saying ICE en forcing immigration laws to remove illegal immigrants. 1120 01:03:43,840 --> 01:03:46,720 Speaker 1: It says here, fifty four percent of the American people 1121 01:03:46,840 --> 01:03:48,680 Speaker 1: support ICE removals. 1122 01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:51,000 Speaker 2: But what was the story among democrats? 1123 01:03:52,400 --> 01:03:56,360 Speaker 6: Eighty one percent of post you're taking to liberal women, 1124 01:03:56,400 --> 01:04:01,520 Speaker 6: and it's approaching one hundred percent in opposition to what 1125 01:04:01,560 --> 01:04:04,160 Speaker 6: ICE is doing. And the same reason on this that 1126 01:04:04,200 --> 01:04:06,280 Speaker 6: we phrased the question. We didn't say do you like Ice, 1127 01:04:06,880 --> 01:04:09,439 Speaker 6: because my guess is that that is actually upside down. 1128 01:04:10,320 --> 01:04:13,040 Speaker 6: But we said ICE, which is its mission to enforce 1129 01:04:13,080 --> 01:04:16,720 Speaker 6: federal immigration laws by what? By removing illegal immigrants from 1130 01:04:16,760 --> 01:04:19,680 Speaker 6: the US. We laid out exactly what ICE does and 1131 01:04:19,680 --> 01:04:21,720 Speaker 6: what it is currently doing, and it gets fifty four 1132 01:04:21,800 --> 01:04:25,200 Speaker 6: percent support among swing voters, it jumps to almost sixty 1133 01:04:25,200 --> 01:04:28,280 Speaker 6: percent support. So again, it's just the Democrats once again 1134 01:04:28,360 --> 01:04:32,080 Speaker 6: strongly in opposition to an issue that sixty percent of 1135 01:04:32,080 --> 01:04:33,880 Speaker 6: the people who are going to decide this selection swing 1136 01:04:33,960 --> 01:04:38,360 Speaker 6: voters actually agree with Donald Trump and the Republicans on all. 1137 01:04:38,320 --> 01:04:41,400 Speaker 1: Right, Brent, let's close out this conversation by talking about 1138 01:04:41,440 --> 01:04:46,160 Speaker 1: electoral impact on the initial generic ballot. You found that 1139 01:04:46,240 --> 01:04:51,240 Speaker 1: Democrats had a small lead over Republicans on the generic ballot. 1140 01:04:51,280 --> 01:04:55,320 Speaker 1: But when you ask people do these immigration issues, does 1141 01:04:55,480 --> 01:05:00,000 Speaker 1: opposing ice enforcing immigration laws make you change your opinion? 1142 01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:01,000 Speaker 2: And what happened? 1143 01:05:01,040 --> 01:05:04,800 Speaker 1: In other words, my question is is can Republicans use 1144 01:05:04,960 --> 01:05:08,840 Speaker 1: the immigration issue and pivot off of what Democrats are 1145 01:05:08,880 --> 01:05:12,560 Speaker 1: saying to erase the democratic advantage that they appear to 1146 01:05:12,600 --> 01:05:13,360 Speaker 1: have in the midterm? 1147 01:05:13,480 --> 01:05:13,680 Speaker 2: Yes? 1148 01:05:13,760 --> 01:05:14,040 Speaker 3: Or no? 1149 01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:19,160 Speaker 6: Completely lean in harder, don't go backwards. When I see 1150 01:05:19,200 --> 01:05:21,600 Speaker 6: some of these members of Congress talking about how we 1151 01:05:21,640 --> 01:05:24,520 Speaker 6: should have been more targeted and how we're approaching this, 1152 01:05:24,600 --> 01:05:26,600 Speaker 6: and then I look at this data and think, you. 1153 01:05:26,560 --> 01:05:29,600 Speaker 4: Guys need to go You're part of the problem. 1154 01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:32,520 Speaker 6: You know, the Republicans who are saying go further are 1155 01:05:32,560 --> 01:05:34,360 Speaker 6: the ones who are part of the solution here, because 1156 01:05:34,360 --> 01:05:35,720 Speaker 6: that's what voters are telling us. 1157 01:05:36,040 --> 01:05:39,560 Speaker 4: Almost sixty percent of folks oppose shutting. 1158 01:05:39,160 --> 01:05:44,160 Speaker 6: Down the government to defund ICE. They oppose defunding ICE, period. 1159 01:05:44,880 --> 01:05:46,840 Speaker 6: And then when you to your point you ask about 1160 01:05:46,840 --> 01:05:50,240 Speaker 6: it in an electoral context, that swings the race six points. 1161 01:05:50,720 --> 01:05:53,120 Speaker 6: That is almost double the margin of era of this 1162 01:05:53,200 --> 01:05:58,080 Speaker 6: poll shift. When we make this election about Democrats not 1163 01:05:58,160 --> 01:06:01,080 Speaker 6: supporting ICE, not being for deport people, and then going 1164 01:06:01,080 --> 01:06:02,600 Speaker 6: so far as because they want to shut down the 1165 01:06:02,600 --> 01:06:04,800 Speaker 6: government over it, that is a six point swing. I 1166 01:06:04,840 --> 01:06:07,400 Speaker 6: don't know another issue that I could lay out for 1167 01:06:07,480 --> 01:06:10,040 Speaker 6: our clients, who are a lot of these people you know, 1168 01:06:10,120 --> 01:06:12,080 Speaker 6: running for office and in an office right now, that 1169 01:06:12,080 --> 01:06:14,880 Speaker 6: would give them a six point swing, double the margin 1170 01:06:14,920 --> 01:06:15,760 Speaker 6: of error for survey. 1171 01:06:17,240 --> 01:06:20,720 Speaker 1: That voice is Brent Buchanan. He is a leading Republican polster. 1172 01:06:20,880 --> 01:06:23,680 Speaker 1: He is with signal Brent. We've got about thirty seconds. 1173 01:06:23,720 --> 01:06:25,280 Speaker 1: I'm just going to sum it up. Number one, the 1174 01:06:25,320 --> 01:06:30,120 Speaker 1: American people want deportations. Number two, the American people support ICE. 1175 01:06:30,240 --> 01:06:33,800 Speaker 1: Number three, Democrats are living on another planet when it 1176 01:06:33,880 --> 01:06:38,240 Speaker 1: comes to immigration. And number four, if you're a Republican candidate, 1177 01:06:38,360 --> 01:06:42,520 Speaker 1: within the sound of our voices, lean in, don't lean out, 1178 01:06:42,640 --> 01:06:46,560 Speaker 1: don't go wobbly, be for deportations, be for strong borders 1179 01:06:46,920 --> 01:06:50,160 Speaker 1: and b for the American people. That was Brent Buchanan. 1180 01:06:50,480 --> 01:06:52,960 Speaker 1: This is Scott Jennings. You're listening to common sense for 1181 01:06:53,000 --> 01:06:54,760 Speaker 1: the American people. More after this. 1182 01:06:55,640 --> 01:06:59,040 Speaker 5: S slag the lovediest narratives one by one. This is 1183 01:06:59,080 --> 01:07:00,080 Speaker 5: the Scott Jennings shit. 1184 01:07:04,800 --> 01:07:07,040 Speaker 2: Breaking news to all of you. 1185 01:07:08,840 --> 01:07:11,880 Speaker 1: This morning, as I was preparing the show, I was 1186 01:07:13,160 --> 01:07:16,880 Speaker 1: preparing to report to you all about the neighborhood blockades 1187 01:07:16,920 --> 01:07:18,400 Speaker 1: that are going on in Minneapolis. 1188 01:07:18,440 --> 01:07:19,240 Speaker 2: You've seen the video. 1189 01:07:19,320 --> 01:07:23,200 Speaker 1: I'm sure these civilians are setting up blockade. You pull 1190 01:07:23,280 --> 01:07:28,240 Speaker 1: up and they check your license plate. These people aren't police, 1191 01:07:28,280 --> 01:07:31,280 Speaker 1: they're not there in any official capacity, but they check 1192 01:07:31,320 --> 01:07:37,120 Speaker 1: your license plate. This is highly illegal. So I emailed Jared, 1193 01:07:37,200 --> 01:07:41,000 Speaker 1: you know you were there. I emailed the city of Minneapolis, 1194 01:07:41,840 --> 01:07:45,440 Speaker 1: and I had a simple question. Has anyone been arrested 1195 01:07:46,120 --> 01:07:51,120 Speaker 1: for setting up illegal blockades, for harassing citizens, for apparently 1196 01:07:51,160 --> 01:07:54,280 Speaker 1: having some sort of secret database by which they check 1197 01:07:54,320 --> 01:07:58,920 Speaker 1: whether your license plate belongs to an ice vehicle. And 1198 01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:02,760 Speaker 1: after some back and forth with the City of Minneapolis 1199 01:08:02,960 --> 01:08:07,240 Speaker 1: just a moment ago, literally minutes ago, we got a 1200 01:08:07,280 --> 01:08:09,880 Speaker 1: response from the Minneapolis Police. 1201 01:08:10,080 --> 01:08:17,759 Speaker 2: I will read it to you. No arrests have been made. Now. 1202 01:08:18,360 --> 01:08:20,880 Speaker 1: The city did tell me that the public works team 1203 01:08:22,160 --> 01:08:24,800 Speaker 1: did clean up the street and they took away the 1204 01:08:24,840 --> 01:08:27,920 Speaker 1: barricades and all the crap that was in the street, 1205 01:08:29,479 --> 01:08:36,080 Speaker 1: But no arrests have been made. Why Why Why are 1206 01:08:36,160 --> 01:08:41,280 Speaker 1: civilians in Minneapolis, Minnesota, or anywhere else for that matter, 1207 01:08:42,840 --> 01:08:46,080 Speaker 1: allowed to go out into the street, build a barricade, 1208 01:08:46,720 --> 01:08:52,440 Speaker 1: physically stop other citizens other people from driving their cars, 1209 01:08:53,200 --> 01:08:55,799 Speaker 1: tell them to roll down their window. I've seen video 1210 01:08:56,640 --> 01:09:00,880 Speaker 1: of people saying, oh, we ran your licenate through a 1211 01:09:00,960 --> 01:09:04,160 Speaker 1: database and it looks like your car is owned by ice. 1212 01:09:05,000 --> 01:09:06,479 Speaker 2: We need you to get out of the car. We 1213 01:09:06,520 --> 01:09:07,880 Speaker 2: need to talk to you about this. 1214 01:09:08,880 --> 01:09:11,479 Speaker 1: Let me tell you something right now, if I rolled 1215 01:09:11,600 --> 01:09:17,800 Speaker 1: up on some rinky dink makeshift barricade and somebody had 1216 01:09:17,840 --> 01:09:21,400 Speaker 1: me rolled down my window and said, hey, I need 1217 01:09:21,439 --> 01:09:24,720 Speaker 1: to talk to you about your license plate, well, let 1218 01:09:24,720 --> 01:09:27,679 Speaker 1: me just tell you I wouldn't be putting it in park. 1219 01:09:29,520 --> 01:09:33,439 Speaker 2: Okay, this is not normal behavior. Why? 1220 01:09:33,640 --> 01:09:37,080 Speaker 1: But again, there's a lot of mental illness out there. 1221 01:09:38,400 --> 01:09:42,439 Speaker 1: I don't understand why the police don't arrest people now. 1222 01:09:42,479 --> 01:09:44,200 Speaker 2: We already know that in Minneapolis. 1223 01:09:44,720 --> 01:09:47,799 Speaker 1: According to Todd Lyons, who told us on this show. 1224 01:09:48,400 --> 01:09:51,599 Speaker 1: The mayor told the police department do not assist ICE 1225 01:09:52,120 --> 01:09:55,960 Speaker 1: if they are under attack from illegal aliens. So if 1226 01:09:56,000 --> 01:09:58,439 Speaker 1: ICE is out doing its job and they come under attack, 1227 01:09:59,160 --> 01:10:03,519 Speaker 1: we know that the police were instructed not to help. Now, 1228 01:10:03,600 --> 01:10:07,200 Speaker 1: it seems to me, because no arrests have been made 1229 01:10:07,200 --> 01:10:11,960 Speaker 1: in these blockades, that somebody told the police don't arrest 1230 01:10:11,960 --> 01:10:15,559 Speaker 1: these guys. And you know what happens when people get 1231 01:10:15,560 --> 01:10:19,320 Speaker 1: away with crap like this, They will do it again. 1232 01:10:20,600 --> 01:10:25,559 Speaker 1: Other people will be inspired to do it. That's what 1233 01:10:25,640 --> 01:10:30,320 Speaker 1: you get. That's what you get when you don't arrest people. 1234 01:10:32,400 --> 01:10:34,920 Speaker 1: But that's the breaking news from the Scott Jennings Show. 1235 01:10:34,960 --> 01:10:40,120 Speaker 1: To close out today, I have received official confirmation from 1236 01:10:40,160 --> 01:10:44,000 Speaker 1: the City of Minneapolis, the public information officer of the 1237 01:10:44,000 --> 01:10:46,240 Speaker 1: police department. It's right here in front of me on 1238 01:10:46,280 --> 01:10:52,600 Speaker 1: this screen. No arrests have been made, even though we 1239 01:10:52,720 --> 01:10:56,120 Speaker 1: have people in the street building barricades and stopping their 1240 01:10:56,120 --> 01:10:59,960 Speaker 1: fellow citizens. It is more than just a traffic hazard. 1241 01:11:00,080 --> 01:11:03,720 Speaker 1: It is unsafe, it is harassment. This is clearly illegal behavior. 1242 01:11:05,520 --> 01:11:09,080 Speaker 1: But in Minneapolis, where they exist in a state of 1243 01:11:09,120 --> 01:11:13,680 Speaker 1: secession from the federal government, apparently they also exist in 1244 01:11:13,720 --> 01:11:17,280 Speaker 1: a state of secession from their own laws and from 1245 01:11:17,320 --> 01:11:21,840 Speaker 1: good public order. If I lived in Minneapolis, I would 1246 01:11:21,920 --> 01:11:27,760 Speaker 1: demand arrests. I want people arrested for doing crap like this. 1247 01:11:28,560 --> 01:11:31,000 Speaker 1: Before we close out the show today, a pitch for 1248 01:11:31,080 --> 01:11:34,040 Speaker 1: you to come on a cruise with me in November. 1249 01:11:34,080 --> 01:11:36,240 Speaker 1: I'm ready for it right now.
