1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 1: The voice of free speech, the truth delivered common sense

2
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: for the American people.

3
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 2: Welcome to the Scott Jennings Show.

4
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,120
Speaker 1: Okay, we're back in the chair here on Salem Radio.

5
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 1: Today we'll get the latest on Iran. The missiles are flying,

6
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:25,239
Speaker 1: is the peace process still on track? Or are we

7
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 1: back at square one? More details on all of this.

8
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: Throughout the show. We have Democrats rushing to defend Graham

9
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 1: Platner in Maine with abuse allegations rocking the Senate race.

10
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: There my thoughts on Platner in just a moment, and

11
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,840
Speaker 1: we have Pelly quitting CBS. So the jobs report looked

12
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: really good, and I'll update you on my travels last

13
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 1: week through France. Today is Monday, June the eighth. I'm

14
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: Scott Jennings reporting for Salem and we're broadcasting live today

15
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: from your nation's capital. On this day, nineteen sixty eight,

16
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:04,759
Speaker 1: British author George Orwell published his dystopian classic nineteen eighty four,

17
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: which was a warning against totalitarianism that introduced such concepts

18
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 1: as big Brother and the thought police. Speaking of the

19
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: thought police in today's news, Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham

20
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: Platner gave a speech over the weekend and announced that,

21
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: if it were up to him, he jailed certain people

22
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: for having opinions about elections. A guy with a Nazi

23
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 1: tattoo wanting to jail his political opponents a little too

24
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: on the nose, but here we are. Platner says that

25
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: any billionaire who attempts to speak in elections will find

26
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 1: himself in a jail cell if he has his way.

27
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: The comments come after a week of bombshells hitting Platner's

28
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: campaign and a weekend of people straight up lying about

29
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: Platner's past in today's news. Pardon me for the record,

30
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: Graham Platner. Let's start with the Nazi tattoo. Yes, he

31
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: has a Nazi tattoo. He knows it's a Nazi tattoo.

32
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: He has repeatedly lied about having a Nazi tattoo. He

33
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 1: claimed he had the tattoo for two decades and had

34
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: no idea what it was. Those claims have now been

35
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: blown up by ex girlfriends who say that he joked

36
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: about having a Nazi tattoo all the time. For the record,

37
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: the skull that he had tattooed on his chest was

38
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: an emblem worn by Nazi SS guards and he knew that,

39
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: and he lies about it. I'd had enough of this

40
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: garbage on CNN Saturday Night. Take a listen to this

41
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: Cut thirteen sat here for ten years and listened to

42
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: diversially every Democratic pundit call Donald Trump and Republicans Nazis

43
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 1: for ten straight years. They're now lining up behind a

44
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: guy with a literal Nazi tattoo who literally lied about it,

45
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 1: and who owed, by the way, has apparently got credible

46
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: abuse allegations from a number of women who have no

47
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: reason to lie about this and every reason to warn

48
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: the American people about it. It's pretty disgusting, the Nazi

49
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 1: tattoo thing. I'll never get it. No one should ever

50
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 1: get over it. But I don't to tell you where

51
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: the energy is in the Democratic Party. Do you recall,

52
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 1: by the way, in twenty twenty five, the great Democratic

53
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: freak out when Elon Musk waved to a crowd. He

54
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: waved to a crowd, and all the Democrats rushed to

55
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: the cameras to claim that Elon was giving a Nazi salute.

56
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: Listen to this absolute clown. Chris Murphy, Democrat senator from Connecticut,

57
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: who had this to say at the time.

58
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 3: Cut four what you saw is what you think you saw.

59
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 3: Elon Musk did Pyle Hitler salute? He did, and what

60
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 3: you were talking about is maybe the most dangerous moment

61
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 3: in modern American political history. Whereas there is a sense

62
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 3: of endorsement from Elon Musk and a sense of entitlement

63
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 3: and immunity given to people who are contemplating acts of

64
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 3: violence against politicians, but specifically Democrats, and so all of

65
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 3: our lives got put in jeopardy by what Elon must

66
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 3: did on Monday night and what Donald Trump did the

67
00:03:58,840 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 3: next day with those pardons.

68
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: Chris Murphy at the time said that his life was

69
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: in jeopardy because Elon Musk waved to a crowd. Now

70
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: let's go back in time here and remember Elon was

71
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: not giving a Nazi salute. Still makes my blood boil

72
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: to relive that nonsense. But now, what is Chris Murphy

73
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: same guy? I have to say about Graham Platner and

74
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: his actual Nazi tattoo cut number five.

75
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 3: He sounds like a human being to me, a human

76
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 3: being who made mistakes, recognizes them and is very open

77
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 3: about it. But yeah, certainly I'm looking forward to sitting

78
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 3: down and talking to him about it. He's obviously, you know,

79
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 3: right now, performing very well in the polls in Maine.

80
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 3: He's talking a language that speaks to a lot of

81
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 3: middle class voters, a lot of Trump voters that frankly

82
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 3: are looking for Democrats that understand working class concern Chris Murphy.

83
00:04:56,200 --> 00:05:00,159
Speaker 1: Says now that having a Nazi tattoo puts you you

84
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 1: in touch with the concerns of working class Americans. That's

85
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 1: what Democrats think of the working class in this country.

86
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: That I guess you're all a bunch of Nazis, and

87
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: that's what you want to hear. It gets worse, though,

88
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: Platner has been abusive to women. According to the women themselves.

89
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 1: A girlfriend came forward last week and outlined Platner's abusive

90
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: behavior in the New York Times. One girlfriend set on

91
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 1: the record that Platner twisted her arm, pushed her into

92
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: a room, and locked her in there against her will.

93
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 1: Upon hearing about this abusive behavior, Democrats rushed to Platner's defense. Folks,

94
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 1: I think we can safely say that the me Too

95
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: movement and the Believe all women era is dead in

96
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party. Take a listen here to Congressman Roe

97
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: Conna of California and listen closely to cut number eight.

98
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,799
Speaker 4: We had a rally planned, and I want to be clear.

99
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 4: His actions were misogynistic, they were shameful, they were wrong,

100
00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 4: but they didn't come as a surprise to a lot

101
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 4: of the folks in Maine. People in Maine knew that

102
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 4: he had had two tours of duty in Iraq. He

103
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 4: came back broken in a dark place. That doesn't excuse

104
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 4: his behavior, but they knew this. He was in Washington

105
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 4: and then he went back to Maine and he started

106
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 4: an oyster farm. He took accountability. He himself has said

107
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 4: it was shameful and he had redemption.

108
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: First of all, let's set the record straight here, glam

109
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: Graham Platner has taken accountability for none of this, absolutely

110
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: none of it. In fact, here is Platner this weekend

111
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: attacking the women that he say who say that he

112
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: abused them. Cut number nine.

113
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 5: And when politically motivated, serious and false, false accusations are

114
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 5: made against me, Maine, you.

115
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: Have my back, he says, they are false accusations. No

116
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: accountability whatsoever, Folks, There is no quote redemption here, There

117
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: is no personal responsibility. There is nothing but lies and

118
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: smears of women who are involved. Now, I might add,

119
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: Rocanna called for Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh to be

120
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 1: thrown out because of allegations from women who to this

121
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: day there is no proof that Kavanaugh ever even meant

122
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: And for Rocanna, who has spent the last year claiming

123
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: to be a champion of the Epstein victims, to toss

124
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: Graham Plattner's abused girlfriend overboard is well, it tells you

125
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: a lot about everyone involved here, doesn't it. I want

126
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: you to pay close attention to everyone who is rushing

127
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: to Platner's defense. Pay close attention and recall what they

128
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 1: said to you about Trump, about anyone who supported Trump,

129
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: what they said about you directly realize who and what

130
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: we are dealing with here. They spent ten years calling

131
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: you a Nazi. Now they support the man with a

132
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: Nazi tattoo. They spent years smearing honorable people like Brett Kavanaugh.

133
00:07:56,040 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: Now they support a Senate candidate with actual, credible abuse allegations.

134
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: Now it's only going to get worse with platinir I predict.

135
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: I suspect that we're closer to the tip of the

136
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: iceberg on this scumbag rather than the bottom of it.

137
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: Other news. Let's talk about Iran for a moment. Well,

138
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: it's a mess. You've heard the news. Iran is attacking

139
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: Israel and vice versa. Hezbola, Iran's proxy in Lebanon, is

140
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: attacking Israel. President Trump remains publicly optimistic about the chances

141
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: of getting a deal, but he is dealing with people

142
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 1: here who simply do not act rationally. Can there ever

143
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 1: be a peace deal with Iran? I'm skeptical that the

144
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 1: Death to America crowd will ever quote unquote make peace.

145
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: There could be an endo hostilities, and it could be

146
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 1: favorable of the United States and the world, but most

147
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: likely only after the butchers in Tehran are fully subdued

148
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: militarily and economically. Clearly, we aren't there yet. Asking Israel

149
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: to stop defending itself, well, that's not going to work.

150
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 1: Israel has fired back against the Iranian regime, which, lest

151
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:04,439
Speaker 1: we forget, has been at war with Israel and the

152
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: United States for forty seven years. For Israel, this is existential.

153
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: Absorbing rockets and missiles from Iran indefinitely is simply not

154
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: an option. We'll follow the news here and see where

155
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 1: it leads. How long can President Trump project optimism about

156
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 1: a deal with Iran being close, when it seems that

157
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 1: every time he says that Iran does something to signal

158
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 1: that we aren't anywhere near an end to this hostility.

159
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: The President was right to go after Iran, and he'd

160
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 1: be right to finish it in the only language that

161
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 1: these butchers understand. We've got a great show for you today.

162
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 1: I do want to talk to you about two hundred

163
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 1: and fifty years of America and the people who founded

164
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: this country. What did they believe. They believe that freedom

165
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: wasn't just a word. They believed it was a way

166
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: of life. Freedom to move forward, the freedom to pursue

167
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: what matters most, the freedom to live fully. But pain

168
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: has a way of taking the those freedoms away from us.

169
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: That's why Relief Factor exists. My family's been using it

170
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: to get our freedom back. My dad he loves it

171
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: more than anybody I know. He's out and about with

172
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 1: his grandchildren, my kids, our pets, his little dog, Carlos.

173
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 1: My dad is an adherent to Relief Factor. It's one

174
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 1: hundred percent drug free. It is a research based supplement.

175
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: It helps a healthy inflammatory response, which you need to

176
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 1: address pain at the source. So as we celebrate two

177
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty years of freedom. Ask yourself, are you

178
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: living with the freedom that you deserve? To commemorate our

Speaker 2: favorite political fundent, Scott Jennings.

194
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: Okay, Monday June eighth, Scott Jennings, here was Salem broadcasting

195
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 1: from your nation's capital. You might have noticed I was

196
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: out last week traveling through France. I thought I'd take

197
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 1: a moment and tell you about my travels because they

198
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 1: were personally impactful. I'll say that I took my twelve

199
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 1: year old son with me, Winston name for Winston Churchill,

200
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 1: of course, and a bit of a history student and

201
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 1: a great traveling companion. But Winston and I went over

202
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 1: to France and really drove in to end in France.

203
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: We landed in Paris and up on our arrival, hopped

204
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: in a car and drove out to Normandy. Now we

205
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: did that about a week before the June sixth anniversary

206
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: of the D Day invasion. Winston and I I had

207
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: been there once before. Winston had never been. Winston and I, though,

208
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: went to Omaha Beach and stood on the beach where

209
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: so many people came ashore and died, and so many

210
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 1: people came ashore and made it made it up to

211
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: those positions that you can still go in today, those

212
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: German bunkers, those German machine gun positions. We walked up

213
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 1: and down Omaha Beach and talked about what had happened there.

214
00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 1: Then we went down the beach just a little bit

215
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: and visited the side of Point to Hawk, and I'm

216
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 1: sure like many of you, every year I make it

217
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:15,439
Speaker 1: a point to listen to President Reagan's Point to Hawk speech,

218
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,319
Speaker 1: his famous address there at Point to Hawk. The platform

219
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 1: is still there, and it's really incredible how close you

220
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: can get to it. You can go right up to

221
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 1: the edge there at Point to Hawk and look over,

222
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: and you can see what those Army rangers were going

223
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: through there as they were scaling the side of the cliffs,

224
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: and the Germans firing upon them as they were coming up.

225
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 1: But they made it up. Not all, of course, many

226
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:45,079
Speaker 1: lost their lives, but they made it up. And I

227
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: had to show that to my young son, was I

228
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: think quite impactful for us both. So we had an

229
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: amazing trip to Normandy. We also went over to the

230
00:13:54,280 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: cemetery and walked through and looked at the different markers

231
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 1: and the different displays there, and tried to give Winston

232
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: a sense of the scale. I mean, it's still Operation

233
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 1: Overlord is still the largest Seaborn invasion in military history,

234
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: and so I was really trying to give Winston an

235
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: idea of the scale of what was accomplished there by

236
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: all those American troops and the British troops and the

237
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: Canadian troops and all the people who took place. Then

238
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: we got in the car, went back east and headed

239
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: out far east to Verdune. Now, as you heard me

240
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: on the show, a couple of weeks ago, I went

241
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: out that way to bear witness to something going on

242
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 1: with an organization called Operation Benjamin, which is an operation

243
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: devoted to an organization devoted to preserving the memories of

244
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 1: American Jewish servicemen and women who made the ultimate sacrifice

245
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: for our country in World War One world War two.

246
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 1: And so there's a cemeterian for done. A lot of

247
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: people don't know about this because World War One is

248
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 1: sort of the forgotten war, you know. It wasn't until

249
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 1: just recently that there was a World War One memorial

250
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 1: even in Washington, d c. It's beautiful. It's across from

251
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: the Willard Hotel, and we don't talk about World War

252
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: One as much as we talk about World War Two.

253
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: And we went out tore Fordune with this Operation Benjamin.

254
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: They usually take a journalist along, and so we witnessed

255
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 1: these grave markers. So what happened sometimes is that soldiers

256
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: are accidentally buried under Latin crosses when they should have

257
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 1: been buried under Star of David and Operation Benjamin with

258
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: its historical staff of the historian Shalom Lamb. They work

259
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: with families, they work with the army, They work with

260
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: all the resources they can to make sure that people

261
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: are buried under the under the correct faith marker. And

262
00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 1: so we witnessed them replaced five a gravestone at this

263
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: American Cemeteriat Verdune, which is frankly one of the most

264
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: beautiful grounds that I've ever been to, at fourteen thousand

265
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 1: graves there by the way. Still the biggest military battle

266
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 1: for the US Army in our nation's history was the

267
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 1: Meuse Argonne offensive, which is right near for done there,

268
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 1: and that's where most of these people were killed in action.

269
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 1: We also went over to a German cemetery. I saw

270
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: something quite amazing German cemetery. They had Jewish Jewish soldiers

271
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: that were fighting for Germany in World War One who

272
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 1: had their memories erased, either because of mistake or because

273
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 1: Hitler had ordered their identities to be erased, their Jewish

274
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 1: heritage to be erased. We saw the German military replace

275
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 1: a number of stones and put those people under their

276
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: appropriate faith marker. So I guess the point is we

277
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: saw people taking care to have an accurate memory of

278
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: people who died in battle, and it was really quite

279
00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 1: something to see. And I want to thank the people

280
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 1: of Operation Benjamin for inviting Winston and me along. We

281
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: had an amazing time honoring all of these heroes on

282
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 1: the field of battle. Take a break more after this,

283
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,199
Speaker 1: It's the Scott Jenning Show on Salem. Stay with us.

284
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 6: Conversation said stories you simply won't hear from the mainstream media.

285
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 5: It's the Scott Jenny Show.

286
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 1: All right, welcome back to the show. First guest of

287
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: the day and first guest back from my travels is

288
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: a great one to have. It's a great friend of mine.

289
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,640
Speaker 1: She has a new book fresh off the press. It's

290
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 1: on a topic of incredible importance, how the left has

291
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:36,199
Speaker 1: left the Jewish people behind and thrown them to the

292
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 1: curb in pursuit of radical policy. The author dives deep

293
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,959
Speaker 1: into the history of the progressive movement and how something

294
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 1: so inextricably tied to the Jewish community has now turned

295
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: its back on them. The book is called the Jews

296
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,199
Speaker 1: in the Left And joining me to discuss is the author,

308
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 1: if only because what you've written about, and I don't

309
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: know if you intended it this way, but what you've

310
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: written about is so important to not just this midterm

311
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,479
Speaker 1: election that's coming up, but also to the presidential election

312
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: that's coming in twenty twenty eight. You may have heard

313
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 1: me at the beginning of the show talking about Graham

314
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 1: Platner up in Maine and all the conversations going on

315
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 1: around his campaign. But let's let's talk about why you

316
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 1: wrote this book and where you know, where where is

317
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 1: the left? The Democratic Party today, with its longtime constituency,

318
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,160
Speaker 1: the Jewish population in the United States of America, Jews

319
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: have voted Democrat for a very long time. But where

320
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:00,879
Speaker 1: do you think things stand after your research for this

321
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 1: important book.

322
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,160
Speaker 7: It's such a great question. Yeah, Jews have been democrat

323
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 7: for about one hundred years is when that connection really started.

324
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 7: And I got to say, Scott, it's one of the

325
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 7: questions I get asked the most when I travel by Conservatives,

326
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 7: by Christians, by Republicans. They kind of take my hand

327
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,239
Speaker 7: and look deeply into my eyes with a lot of

328
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:23,880
Speaker 7: pain and ask, but why are the Jews democrats when

329
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 7: the left is turned on them and we have their back?

330
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 7: And I just had to write a book that answered

331
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 7: that question. And what I found was really that there

332
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:36,120
Speaker 7: was three hundred years of Jewish American history that preceded this,

333
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 7: that came before Jews became democrats. We were here since

334
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:43,439
Speaker 7: sixteen fifty four. Jews are really heritage Americans. And in

335
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,479
Speaker 7: a way, this is a kind of America to fifty

336
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 7: book because I uncovered that the founding fathers they didn't

337
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 7: really see Jews as like an immigrant community or as

338
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:58,159
Speaker 7: separate from the nation. They saw Jews as founding partners

339
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 7: in the creation of this great nation for the simple

340
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 7: fact that we were the people of the book the

341
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 7: Torah in which the founding fathers located all of the

342
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 7: freedoms that they were trying to say were given to

343
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 7: us by our creator, and so we were always a

344
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:17,679
Speaker 7: very precious part of this nation. And the fact that

345
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 7: the Left is now turning on the Jews after so long,

346
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,399
Speaker 7: after Jews being loyal to the Democrats for such a

347
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 7: long time, I think this is a real opportunity for

348
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 7: American Jews to remember that our loyalty is to our

349
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 7: nation rather than to any specific political party. And I

350
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 7: do think a lot of Jews are waking up. A

351
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 7: lot of Jews tell me they feel politically homeless after

352
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 7: October seventh. They were shocked when the Left that they

353
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 7: thought was their political home abandoned them. So I think

354
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 7: we are going to start to see some movement there.

355
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,239
Speaker 1: The book is called The Jews in the Left. It

356
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 1: is a comprehensive history lesson on the history of Jewish

357
00:20:55,760 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 1: Americans with the Democratic Party in the United States, very

358
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,159
Speaker 1: important when you consider where we are today. I was

359
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: just looking at a chart here, bought you a Democrat

360
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 1: vote share for Jewish voters over time nineteen sixty eight

361
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 1: eighty one percent, seventy two, sixty five percent seventy six

362
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:17,160
Speaker 1: sixty four percent, eighty Carter's reelect forty five percent. They

363
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: gravitated towards Reagan a little eighty four, Mondale sixty seven percent,

364
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 1: eighty eight, Ducaca sixty four percent, ninety two, Clinton eighty

365
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:27,680
Speaker 1: ninety six, Clinton seventy eight, two thousand, Gore seventy nine,

366
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 1: two thousand and four, Carries seventy four oh eight, Obama

367
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:35,879
Speaker 1: seventy eight, twelve, Obama sixty nine, sixteen, Clinton seventy one, twenty,

368
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 1: Biden seventy seven, and Harris got somewhere between sixty five

369
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 1: and seventy and twenty twenty four.

370
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:42,439
Speaker 2: Uh.

371
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: And then we have to talk about today, where as

372
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: you just mentioned, we've got a lot of Jewish American

373
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 1: voters questioning why the Democratic Party has abandoned them after

374
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: such a long and loyal history. But boy, it's interesting

375
00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 1: you look at what's going on in these Senate races

376
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 1: where the Inner and Maine behind Platner, literal Nazi tattoo,

377
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: behind Abdul l Saeed in Michigan, someone who you know

378
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: is sympathetic to Hesbola. You've got Democratic candidates across the

379
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 1: country who are using, you know, the support of Jewish

380
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:19,400
Speaker 1: American donors is almost like an epithet against candidates who

381
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: accept that kind of support. Do you think we're going

382
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 1: to see the numbers on this chart change in twenty

383
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 1: six and in twenty eight.

384
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,120
Speaker 7: I really hope so, Scott, I mean, for God's sake,

385
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 7: this Platiner character, he doesn't just have a Nazi tattoo.

386
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 7: He has the tattoo of the concentration camp guards. He

387
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 7: literally chose to tattoo onto his chest the last thing

388
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:46,160
Speaker 7: my great grandparents saw before they were gassed to death.

389
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 7: And this is the Democratic Party that has two thirds

390
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 7: of American Jews voting for it is horrendous. But by

391
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 7: the way, that wasn't even the floor for this guy.

392
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,120
Speaker 7: Every time somebody points something out that's negative about him,

393
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 7: he says, Susan Collins is getting money from APAC, right,

394
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 7: I mean like that's literally his dog whistle to distract

395
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 7: from his all of these scandals. Senator John Fetterman said,

396
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 7: I would like to know if all of the women

397
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 7: that he was texting with on Kick, this text messaging

398
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,399
Speaker 7: app that's notorious for predators, were over age. What is

399
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 7: Graham Platner's response to that, Well, you get money from

400
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 7: apac Apak loves you. What is apak? It is where

401
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 7: pro Israel Jews and Christians donate if they want a

402
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 7: pro Israel candidate. He's effectively saying that it is a slurer,

403
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 7: It is a smear to be associated with pro Israel Jews.

404
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 7: This is an antisemitic dog whistle that Elon Omer had

405
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 7: to apologize for in twenty nineteen. Fast forward seven years

406
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 7: and this is literally a campaign ad that they are

407
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 7: putting out. They are not gravitating to these anti Zionist,

408
00:23:56,160 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 7: anti Jewish, anti Israel candidates despite the fact they offend

409
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 7: American Jews. They are promoting them because they offend American Jews.

410
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:10,440
Speaker 7: That is the new virtue signal. That is the litmus

411
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 7: test to the left and the only one now. And

412
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 7: it's whether you're an anti Zionist or not, whether you

413
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 7: stand against ninety percent of world Jewelry, the belief that

414
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 7: there should be one Jewish state on planet Earth.

415
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:28,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's kind of shocking that what the Platiner campaign,

416
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,360
Speaker 1: and I, by the way, I suspect you were going

417
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,400
Speaker 1: to see a number of democratic campaigns adopt this tactic.

418
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 1: And that is when we're attacked by anybody we're essentially

419
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 1: just going to say the Jews did it. I mean,

420
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,639
Speaker 1: that is exactly what they're saying. It's the Jews have

421
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 1: manufactured this whole whatever the attack is against me, which

422
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:48,919
Speaker 1: you know, a little too on the nose for a

423
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 1: guy with a Nazi tattoo on his chase, but Platiner,

424
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 1: But Platiner is sort of pioneering. I mean, frankly, it

425
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:02,360
Speaker 1: simplifies your campaign. Every attack, well, it's the Jews. It's

426
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 1: the Jews. And by the way, Democrat donors are eating

427
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 1: this up. The Platner campaign was bragging that after all

428
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:12,679
Speaker 1: of these attacks on him had come out and this

429
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 1: New York Times story about hey abused his girlfriend had

430
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,360
Speaker 1: come out, Oh, we raised two hundred thousand dollars online.

431
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,160
Speaker 1: How did they do that by going out and signing

432
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 1: you got to protect me from the Jews. I mean,

433
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 1: it's sort of fascinating. But it's a roadmap. I fear

434
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 1: botya for what's going to happen in twenty twenty eight

435
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,959
Speaker 1: and how these Democratic presidential candidates are going to run

436
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 1: their campaign. I think being pro Israel and the Democratic

437
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:43,120
Speaker 1: Party in twenty twenty eight is going to be impossible.

438
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 1: If right being pro Israel is going to be like

439
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: being pro life. It won't be permitted. You cannot be

440
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 1: a pro life Democrat and run for national offices right now.

441
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: I don't think you can be pro Israel and run

442
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,160
Speaker 1: for president as a Democrat. In fact, I think they're

443
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,199
Speaker 1: going to be racing to see who can be the

444
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 1: most anti Israel and therefore the most anti Jewish. I

445
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,160
Speaker 1: think this primary is going to I think if you're

446
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: not already freaked out as a Jewish American voter what

447
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 1: you see happen in twenty twenty eight, you're going to

448
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:12,680
Speaker 1: get there very very soon. What do you think?

449
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 7: And doubly so because of what we just saw on

450
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 7: the right, Thomas Massey did the exact same thing. He

451
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 7: made the entire election a referendum on American Jews support

452
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 7: for Israel, and he got curb stumped. Donald Trump kicked

453
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,199
Speaker 7: that guy to the curb.

454
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 1: He said, you're not going to do that in.

455
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 7: The Republican Party. And so the split screen here is

456
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:39,640
Speaker 7: just so stark. You've got one party excising the jew

457
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 7: hate on a regular basis and the other party lining

458
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 7: up behind it and embracing it. It is such a

459
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 7: stark distinction.

460
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 1: The parties are really showing what leadership looks like on

461
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 1: the right. As you pointed out, Donald Trump says, I

462
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 1: don't want to be part of any of this. I'll

463
00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 1: get rid of the people who are in gauging in

464
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 1: this sort of hatefulness, this anti semitism. On the left.

465
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 1: There's not a single national leader other than John Fetterman,

466
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 1: Senator from Pennsylvania, who has stood up against this and

467
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 1: say wait a minute, we don't need to be associated

468
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,479
Speaker 1: with this sort of anti semitism. And look what they

469
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 1: do to Fetterman. I mean they savage Fetterman. I don't

470
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 1: know if he can run for reelection as a Democrat

471
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:22,119
Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania over this issue. The guest is bought you.

472
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 1: The book is called The Jews and the Left. I

473
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 1: encourage you to get it if you're interested in this topic.

474
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 1: It's a comprehensive history lesson on the evolution of the

475
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 1: Jewish community and where it's been with the left in

476
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 1: this country and the Democratic Party, and where we stand today.

477
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 1: You we got a couple of minutes left. They did

478
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 1: want to get you on a couple of current events

479
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 1: news topics. We've got Iran laying out there. The President

480
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 1: remains publicly optimistic we can get a deal, but the

481
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 1: missiles have been flying all weekend. What do you think

482
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 1: the most likely outcome here.

483
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 7: Is, Scott, I hope you're going to forgive me for

484
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:57,199
Speaker 7: saying this, because you're not going to like it. But

485
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:01,879
Speaker 7: I have to say it because I truly believe it,

486
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 7: and I think it will help the president. He needs

487
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 7: a runway. Okay, he cannot rush this right, He needs

488
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 7: more time. But the American people are hurting. He won

489
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:16,639
Speaker 7: the working class overwhelmingly and they need help. They need help.

490
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 7: People are broke, and I think he needs to send

491
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 7: out a stimulus check. You know, he raised two hundred

492
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 7: billion dollars in tariff revenue. He's got the money on hand.

493
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 7: Working class Americans, people make under one hundred thousand dollars

494
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 7: a year, who are not getting a dime from the government.

495
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 7: They are really really struggling to put food on the table.

496
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 7: They love him and they support him, but they need

497
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 7: some help. And so I just think a stimulus check

498
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 7: would go a long way, and it would get him

499
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 7: that domestic runway that he absolutely needs in order to

500
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 7: make sure that we get a better deal than the

501
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 7: JCP away, because if he signs something that's not as

502
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 7: good or something that's only equivalent, that's his whole legacy.

503
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 7: He's going to be defending that for the next two years.

504
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 1: My view is stimulus checks interesting idea.

505
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 6: You know.

506
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 1: I've argued that Republicans need to go ahead and do

507
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 1: another round of tax cuts, specifically targeted to the working

508
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 1: class in this country. Tax cuts were good last summer.

509
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 1: They worked for him in twenty seventeen. It doesn't hurt

510
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: to cut taxes again on the working men and women

511
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 1: of the United States. We're Republicans. We love to cut taxes.

512
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 1: We should cut taxes, you know. On the Iran War,

513
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 1: you know, by yeah, I gotta say. I know he's like,

514
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 1: he's optimistic, he can will this into existence. I just

515
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 1: don't think the death to America, death to Israel crowd

516
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: is ever going to want to make peace. I think

517
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 1: they're going to want to make well, we can subdue

518
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 1: them making peace, I'm skeptical of. But couldn't they be subdued? Absolutely?

519
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 1: And he needs to finish that job. The book is

520
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 1: called the Jews in the Left. The author is Baya

521
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 1: Ungar Sargon. Get it today. Baya, thanks for coming by.

522
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 1: We'll take a break. Scott Jennings on Salem with more

523
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 1: right after this.

524
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 6: He's the author of the best selling book A Revolution

525
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 6: of Common Sense. Here's Scott Jennings.

526
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 1: Okay. The lying on Iran right now is that Iran

527
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 1: and Israel are pulling back after exchanging attacks over the

528
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 1: last couple of days. Iran says it has concluded its

529
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 1: latest strikes against Israel, and Prime Minister Netan yahoo is

530
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 1: refraining from another attack, another retaliatory attack, after pressure from

531
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 1: President Trump. So where do we stand with this conflict

532
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 1: and where do we stand on getting a possible peace deal?

533
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 1: Our next guest is here to talk about all of that.

534
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 1: Doctor James Robbins served in the Pentagon as Special Assistant

535
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 1: to the Secretary of Defense. He has spent years teaching

536
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 1: America's future military leaders. Doctor Robbins, thanks for being with

537
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 1: us today. You've seen the news and I'm just curious

538
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 1: about your take. Where are we? Are we back at

539
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 1: square one? Or do you feel like the you know,

540
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 1: the fragile cy spire and the pursuit of a deal

541
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: here is still intact.

542
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 8: Hey, Scott, Well, I think that it's still intact. I mean,

543
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 8: the President says so, the Pakistani mediators say so. Even

544
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 8: the Iranians released a statement saying that they are committed

545
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 8: to the diplomatic tracks. So I think something's happening. Whether

546
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 8: it's the outcome we want that remains to be seen.

547
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 8: But you know, I think this latest exchange actually scared

548
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 8: the Iranians because the Israeli has hit carg Island, amongst

549
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 8: other targets, and I think the Iranians realized that, you know,

550
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 8: maybe if they go back to full scale warfare, then yes,

551
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 8: their entire oil infrastructure will be destroyed, and coming out

552
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 8: of this then they'll have nothing.

553
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 1: So the President has been expressing optimism that a deal

554
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 1: is just over the horizon or maybe closer than that

555
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 1: now for several weeks. You know, back before Memorial Day,

556
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 1: we were getting signals from senior White House officials if

557
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 1: they thought something was imminent. A week went by and

558
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 1: then there was another round of Hey, don't worry, it's

559
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 1: it's about to happen. We went through last week nothing

560
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, we have missiles flying.

561
00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 1: Is the optimism for a deal here a little misplaced?

562
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 1: Or is it your belief that you know we're going

563
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 1: to wake up one day and just you know, all

564
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 1: of a sudden, Huila, you know, we've got something on paper.

565
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 1: How do you think this ultimately ends?

566
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 8: Well, I don't think it's misplaced. But the thing about

567
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 8: the Iranians is, I mean, they can draw this out

568
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,239
Speaker 8: pretty much as long as they want, and that's what

569
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 8: they seem to be doing, unless we put more pressure

570
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 8: on them. Perhaps they could even draw it out all

571
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 8: the way to the election, which I think was their

572
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 8: original intention, because they know that they are making the

573
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 8: president pay a political cost with the continuing of this war.

574
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 8: And even if they agree to things that we want

575
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 8: them to agree to, we have no means of verification

576
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 8: and enforcement. If they pledge not to have a nuclear weapon,

577
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 8: well okay, how do we enforce that. You know, they

578
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 8: say that they're going to hand over the enrich uranium.

579
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 8: Now they say no, it has to stay in the

580
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 8: country and in a degraded form. But they could always

581
00:32:56,640 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 8: re enrich it. We've degraded their miss drone forces, but

582
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 8: they're rebuilding it. So you know, at the end of

583
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 8: the day, if we get a deal with these guys,

584
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 8: we're going to have to have some kind of strong

585
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 8: enforcement mechanism. Making sure they stick to the deal, because

586
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 8: otherwise they can just go back to doing the stuff

587
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 8: that they were doing before that causes whole were in

588
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 8: the first place.

589
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have stopped stopped calling this a peace deal.

590
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 1: I just I don't think we're ever going to have

591
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 1: peace with these Iranians. What you can do, and I'm

592
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 1: intersted your thoughts on this, is subdue them militarily, and

593
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 1: you can subdue them economically, which is what the blockade

594
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 1: is doing right now. But the idea that they're ever

595
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 1: going to be a peace agreement, I mean, these people

596
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 1: chant death to America and death Israel, and they've been

597
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 1: doing it for half a century. I doubt they're going

598
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 1: to wake up one day and decide that that was

599
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: an incorrect impulse. They're still going to have that impulse,

600
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 1: but the point here is to take the impulse away,

601
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 1: and furthermore, to take away their ability to act upon

602
00:33:56,640 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 1: that impulse with nuclear weapons. How should Americans view the

603
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 1: outcome here? Should we think of it as a piece

604
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 1: deal or should we think of it as hey, we

605
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 1: basically subdued the worst people on earth.

606
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:10,799
Speaker 8: Well, I think we should think of it the way

607
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 8: they think of it, which would be just sort of

608
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:17,320
Speaker 8: a temporary expedient. There's no way that this revolutionary Islamist

609
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 8: regime is going to you know, say, oh, well, you

610
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 8: know what. On the other we love America. You know,

611
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 8: it's no longer death to America, but we love America.

612
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 8: And remember, in the first part of this war, we

613
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:32,360
Speaker 8: were complicit in killing their supreme leader. I mean, let's

614
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 8: not forget that they hold that against us, you know,

615
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 8: and rightly so. I mean from their perspective, we took

616
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:41,800
Speaker 8: out their top guy. So it's not like they're they're

617
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 8: here at the negotiating table because they like us. They

618
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:49,880
Speaker 8: really don't. And until there's some kind of revolution in Iran,

619
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:52,880
Speaker 8: and there have been reports of demonstrations across the country

620
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 8: now against the regime, that's the kind of thing that

621
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,359
Speaker 8: we should be getting involved in, sort of, you know,

622
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 8: behind the scenes. Is the polit warfare side. And let

623
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 8: me also add on the economics side. Ten Secretary secretary.

624
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 8: The Treasury Secretary noted, we're going after the crypto accounts

625
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 8: of their top leadership and just taking them.

626
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's another way to get their attention. All right,

627
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 1: Thanks for your optimism and your expertise, Doctor James Robbins,

628
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 1: dean of academics at the Institute of World Politics. We'll

629
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 1: take a break and more news after this. It's Scott

630
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 1: Jennings on Salem. Stay with us all right, Monday, June

631
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:30,399
Speaker 1: the eighth hour, number two underway. A couple of quick

632
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 1: headlines for you. The Trump administration planning to revoke the

633
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 1: citizenship of seventeen US citizens accused of immigration fraud, expanding

634
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 1: its unprecedented denaturalization campaign. And according to CBS News Today,

635
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 1: over at the Naval Observatory in Washington, you'll hear some

636
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 1: clucking pretty soon, not the usual political clucking, but it

637
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:57,799
Speaker 1: will be from the chickens who'll be living in the backyard.

638
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 1: Vice President JD. Vance Advance family getting a flock for

639
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:04,919
Speaker 1: the fresh eggs from one chicken farmer to another. Mister

640
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 1: Vice President, you will not regret bringing these ladies into

641
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 1: your life. It's a great hobby. Speaking of egg prices

642
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:15,799
Speaker 1: have plummeted and I mean absolutely crater. Now do you

643
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 1: remember when Democrats spent all day long screeching about the

644
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:22,919
Speaker 1: price of eggs. Elizabeth Warren even claimed that Big egg

645
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 1: was gouging the American people corporate greed. Elizabeth Warren said,

646
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 1: not the fact that the Biden administration ordered the killing

647
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 1: of millions upon millions of birds. Democrat pundit after pundit

648
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,800
Speaker 1: took to the airwaves to decry the price of eggs.

649
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 1: How could Trump and his big egg cronies be doing

650
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 1: this to us? Well, at any rate, I guess the

651
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 1: big corporations decided to stop being greedy. National egg prices

652
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:54,759
Speaker 1: are down ninety eight percent since last March. No word

653
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 1: from Elizabeth Warren on her old talking points Capitol Hill.

654
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 1: The fight to renew fis US has taken a rough turn.

655
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 1: That's the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. The Senate's blocked a

656
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 1: three year extension deal. This expires on June twelfth. What

657
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 1: is FEISA? What is section seven zero two. Well, it's

658
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:18,280
Speaker 1: a major counter terrorism tool that permits spying on foreign

659
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:23,319
Speaker 1: threats located outside the United States by monitoring digital communications. Now,

660
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 1: the main domestic controversy is that sometimes this tool sweeps

661
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 1: up a data of Americans who are communicating with these

662
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 1: foreign terrorist targets. Why did the deal collapse? Well, a

663
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 1: number of senators, all the Democrats and a few Republicans,

664
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 1: are protesting President Trump's appointment of businessman Bill Pulti as

665
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:46,360
Speaker 1: acting Director of National Intelligence. They say he lacks the

666
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 1: requisite experience for the job. We're going to be following

667
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 1: this FISA renewal story all week, just four days to go.

668
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 1: It would be a huge mistake to let this tool

669
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 1: lapse and for the United States to take its eyes

670
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:02,359
Speaker 1: off the terrorists who wish us harm, of which there

671
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 1: are many. Let's stay with Capitol Hill. Our next guest,

672
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 1: Indiana Congressman Marlon Stutsman. Marlon is here. You have a

673
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:13,719
Speaker 1: major new resolution pertaining to the US Israeli alliance. We've

674
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 1: been talking about US and Israel relations that today as

675
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,319
Speaker 1: we look at what's going on with Iran and that

676
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 1: latest news, Marlon, tell us about this resolution. What's in it?

677
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 1: Why did you file it?

678
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 9: Yes, Scott, great to be with you. Thanks for having me.

679
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 9: You know, as you look around the world today and

680
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:32,359
Speaker 9: we look at the allies of the United States, in

681
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 9: some cases we look at of course Europe. Europe has

682
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:37,800
Speaker 9: always been some of our greatest allies. Great Britain is

683
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 9: our great one of our greatest allies. But you know

684
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 9: a lot of these European countries have gone woke. You

685
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:46,239
Speaker 9: look at the of course Asia, we have friends and

686
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 9: a lot of friendlies in Eastern Europe and parts of

687
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 9: Asia because of China, because of Russia, that continue to

688
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:55,240
Speaker 9: be threats to those countries around those parts of the world.

689
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 9: But Israel has become one of our strongest allies, not

690
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:03,319
Speaker 9: just militarily but also economically. And of course, you know,

691
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 9: there's a lot of anti Semitism that's growing in the

692
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 9: world today and even here at home in America that's saying,

693
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 9: you know that Israel is controlling the United States. Israel

694
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 9: is you know, pulling President Trump into Iran things like that.

695
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 9: And I tell you, I always tell people, if you

696
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 9: know President Trump, president Trump makes his own decisions. And

697
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 9: so a couple of us have been talking about the

698
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:26,479
Speaker 9: relationship between the United States and Israel. And there's three

699
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:30,040
Speaker 9: point eight billion dollars that we give to Israel every

700
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 9: year under the last ten year Memorandum of understanding is

701
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 9: coming up for renewal, and.

702
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:40,719
Speaker 1: Congressman, Congressman, let me let me, let me stop you

703
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 1: right there, because I think this is an important point.

704
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:46,320
Speaker 1: It's three point eight billion dollars. What does that money

705
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:48,720
Speaker 1: go for? Because I think there's a lot of misinformation

706
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 1: about what we do with Israel what this money is for.

707
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 1: Can you just illuminate that a little bit about how

708
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 1: this money gets deployed and why it's actually good for

709
00:39:58,040 --> 00:39:58,840
Speaker 1: the United States.

710
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, you know, a great, great question, because you know,

711
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:04,280
Speaker 9: out of the three point eight billion, about ninety percent

712
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 9: of it comes back to the United States, whether it's

713
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 9: to buy planes, whether it's to buy military equipment, services, software,

714
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:19,840
Speaker 9: it's to buy those anti aircraft technology that we develop.

715
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 9: And you know, and the United States and the technology

716
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:27,359
Speaker 9: in Israel really does work closely together. We work with

717
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 9: them because they live in a very rough neighborhood. You know,

718
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:35,280
Speaker 9: the Iron Dome, the technology that was created to protect

719
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 9: Israel is the same technology that we now use as

720
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 9: we develop Golden Dome to protect the United States. And

721
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 9: so that money comes back to the United States. So

722
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:46,280
Speaker 9: I would even argue that the three point eight billion

723
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,040
Speaker 9: is not something that we just give away to them

724
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 9: and let them use on vote programs like in a

725
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 9: lot of cases. But the United States and Israel's relationship

726
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 9: has grown strong, and Israel is saying to us, we

727
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 9: want to stand on our own two feet. Prime Minister

728
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:03,879
Speaker 9: Netanyahoo went on sixty minutes a couple of weeks ago

729
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 9: and says, hey, we don't need the three point eight billion.

730
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 9: Let's move to a more formal, normal relationship where we

731
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:13,440
Speaker 9: have a trade agreement, where we have a defense agreement.

732
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:17,440
Speaker 9: And yet also the Abraham Accords is also a huge benefit.

733
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:21,280
Speaker 9: President Trump has been the strongest negotiator, the strongest diplomat

734
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 9: in the Middle East. The Middle East is changing in

735
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 9: front of our eyes because of a strong president right

736
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:28,880
Speaker 9: here at home in the United States. And it's just

737
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:31,960
Speaker 9: incredible to see how the Middle East is changing, and

738
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 9: Israel saying, look, we don't need the money. My resolution

739
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:39,400
Speaker 9: just simply says, next MoU that we craft between our

740
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:42,760
Speaker 9: two countries, we eliminate the aid and we move towards

741
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 9: trade and trade agreements and defense agreements.

742
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 1: Are you worried though, that the resolution could be interpreted

743
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:52,320
Speaker 1: as anti relationship here? I mean, I'm one of the

744
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:54,520
Speaker 1: people that thinks that it's basically right now in the

745
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 1: defense of Western civilization. It's the United States and Israel

746
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 1: and a lot of other people have fallen off the wagon.

747
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:02,759
Speaker 1: Are you worried this is going to be misinterpreted out there?

748
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:05,800
Speaker 1: As you know, well, is the United States backing away

749
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:08,960
Speaker 1: from Frankly, it's strongest partner when it comes to standing

750
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 1: up to these radical Islamic terrorists who wish us so

751
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:12,120
Speaker 1: much harm.

752
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:15,440
Speaker 9: Well, I definitely could see then. That's why we've been

753
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 9: trying to get out on front of this and say, look,

754
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:20,840
Speaker 9: you know, this is something that I work very closely

755
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:24,879
Speaker 9: with Ambassador Lighter from Israel, with with Ambassador Huckeby who

756
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 9: just put out a post on X last week and

757
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:30,600
Speaker 9: saying the next MoU needs to move from aid to

758
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:33,440
Speaker 9: trade is not going to have that funding there. I

759
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 9: went over to Israel and sat across the table from

760
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 9: Prime Minister Nan Yahu and said, look, you said this,

761
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 9: is this the direction that we can go? And he

762
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 9: said absolutely. So. The way I see it is if

763
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 9: your best friend says, hey, I don't need you the

764
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:50,360
Speaker 9: hundred dollars you know the supplement that you're giving me

765
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 9: every week for my rent, and you can keep that

766
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:55,160
Speaker 9: money because I've got a good job and I'm supporting myself.

767
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 9: Why wouldn't we do that. If you're a budget hawk,

768
00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 9: we're saving money. If you're pro Israel, you're then of

769
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:04,720
Speaker 9: course realizing that Israel has grown to be a strong

770
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:07,320
Speaker 9: nation to support itself, but also I believe that the

771
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 9: arrangements that we have between our countries within the private

772
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:12,880
Speaker 9: sector are going to continue to help both of our

773
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:16,960
Speaker 9: countries grow economically, and that'll support both of our countries

774
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:18,799
Speaker 9: well above what that three point eight billion does.

775
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:22,719
Speaker 1: Congressman Marlon Stutsman of Indiana is our guest. So with

776
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 1: working with the ambassador from Israel to the United States,

777
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:27,640
Speaker 1: who's a great friend of the show. He comes on

778
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:31,920
Speaker 1: and often with us, and Ambassador Huckaby. Can I assume

779
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 1: that the buy in and you met with net and Yahoo?

780
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 1: Do you have buy in I guess at the top

781
00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 1: levels of both governments for this. And if the answer

782
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:41,799
Speaker 1: to that is yes, are we going to see this

783
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:43,279
Speaker 1: on the floor of the House pretty soon?

784
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:46,719
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm hoping. So you know, I've of course been

785
00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:50,960
Speaker 9: talking with Speaker Mike Johnson, who likes the direction, of course,

786
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:54,800
Speaker 9: to Leader Steve Scalise likes the direction. I spoke to

787
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:57,719
Speaker 9: folks over at the State Department. They're working on this.

788
00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 9: So the MoU comes due twenty twenty seven. And one

789
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 9: of the things that Prime Minister Nenyahu said is he

790
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:07,960
Speaker 9: wants to do this during this Congress, during this presidency

791
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:11,400
Speaker 9: with President Trump because he doesn't want this to you know,

792
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 9: to linger on not knowing what the next Congress or

793
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:18,799
Speaker 9: administration looks like after twenty eight twenty eight, because you know,

794
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:21,800
Speaker 9: we've we're seeing the anti Semitism grow in the Democrat

795
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:23,759
Speaker 9: Party that never used to be there.

796
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 1: Scott.

797
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:26,080
Speaker 9: One of the things that always I was amazed at

798
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:29,080
Speaker 9: how Congress really stuck together on two issues, and that

799
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:32,040
Speaker 9: was the support for veterans and the support for Israel.

800
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:35,480
Speaker 9: But that's gone because of the anti Semitism that has

801
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 9: grown in the Democrat Party. So it's important for us

802
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:39,719
Speaker 9: to do it the way that we want to do it,

803
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:43,480
Speaker 9: rather than letting people who would be against Israel doing it.

804
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:46,960
Speaker 1: I think that's the critical issue here is this relationship

805
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 1: needs to be handled on the terms of people who

806
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:51,480
Speaker 1: understand the value of it, and not on the terms

807
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:54,920
Speaker 1: of people who think, somehow, in this post October the

808
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:57,640
Speaker 1: Seventh world that Israel is somehow the bad guy, which

809
00:44:57,680 --> 00:45:00,400
Speaker 1: is crazy, but that's what they think. Congressman Marlin Stutson

810
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 1: of an Indiana is our guest. He's going to hold

811
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 1: through the break. More with him after this. A quick

812
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:08,720
Speaker 1: word though about a couple of things, and they are life, liberty,

813
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:11,080
Speaker 1: and the pursuit of happiness. Those are words that aren't

814
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 1: just for the history books. They are written for you today.

815
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:18,320
Speaker 1: You cannot pursue happiness when pain is part of your life.

816
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:20,440
Speaker 1: And one of the ways you can do away with

817
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:24,920
Speaker 1: a pain is by trying relief Factor. It hits the inflammation.

818
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:28,240
Speaker 1: This is one of the chronic causes of pain. Relief

819
00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:33,120
Speaker 1: Factor attacks inflammation. One hundred percent drug free research base,

820
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:37,320
Speaker 1: no prescription, real relief. So that you can pursue happiness

821
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:40,440
Speaker 1: in your own life, try the three week quick start.

822
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:43,480
Speaker 1: Go to relieffactor dot com or call one eight hundred

823
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:45,360
Speaker 1: and four relief And because of our two hundred and

Speaker 1: fiftieth anniversary, there's a special quick start price seventeen dollars

00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:53,319
Speaker 1: and seventy six cents gets you on track to get

826
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:57,160
Speaker 1: rid of the pain with Relief Factor. Marlon Stutsman sticks around.

827
00:45:57,160 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 1: After this, it's Scott Jennings on Salem. Stay around for it,

828
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:02,800
Speaker 1: No for America's favorite pundit.

829
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:04,360
Speaker 5: It's Scott Jennings.

830
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:09,160
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the show Newsmaker Today. Congressman Marlin Stutsman

831
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 1: of Indiana sticking around. Congressman, thanks for your time today.

832
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:15,319
Speaker 1: I want to talk about the economy a little bit.

833
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:17,360
Speaker 1: I'm not sure this gut as much notice as it

834
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:21,239
Speaker 1: should have, but the latest jobs report came out while

835
00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:24,880
Speaker 1: I was gone, and the US economy added one hundred

836
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:28,160
Speaker 1: and seventy two thousand jobs in May. The unemployment rate

837
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 1: was four point three percent, one hundred and fifteen thousand

838
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 1: jobs in April, one hundred and seventy eight thousand jobs

839
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:36,719
Speaker 1: in March. We've had three months in a row of

840
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:40,760
Speaker 1: really blockbuster jobs reports. From where you sit in Indiana,

841
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:43,719
Speaker 1: how is the US economy doing? We got Democrats out

842
00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:46,640
Speaker 1: here saying we're in an economic armageddon. I got three

843
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:50,400
Speaker 1: bunths of jobs reports, among other things, telling me something

844
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:51,920
Speaker 1: is going right. Where are you on it?

845
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:53,239
Speaker 5: Yeah?

846
00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:56,040
Speaker 9: You know why you're right, Scott. I mean there has

847
00:46:56,120 --> 00:47:00,359
Speaker 9: not been enough attention on these jobs reports, because what

848
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:03,400
Speaker 9: we're seeing is that you know that the jobs numbers

849
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:06,160
Speaker 9: keep going up. I come from a district with a

850
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:10,480
Speaker 9: lot of manufacturing. And while there's been some volatility, of

851
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:14,400
Speaker 9: course around tariffs and now gas prices, I think the

852
00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:16,719
Speaker 9: gas prices is what you know, probably affects all of

853
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:21,120
Speaker 9: us psychologically, but the under you know, the foundation. The

854
00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:24,520
Speaker 9: principles are really strong. The fundamentals are strong, and when

855
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:27,320
Speaker 9: you see these sort of job numbers, it just shows

856
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:31,319
Speaker 9: that businesses are growing and not contracting. I mean, even

857
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:34,480
Speaker 9: as I talk to some of the manufacturing companies that

858
00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:38,520
Speaker 9: were affected by tariffs, they were still expanding in their

859
00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:42,600
Speaker 9: companies because they were getting more orders for products. So

860
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:45,680
Speaker 9: I think that this is a big deal. And once

861
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:48,000
Speaker 9: once we get into the you know, right into the

862
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:51,359
Speaker 9: mid term elections, people still vote their pocketbooks, and they

863
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:53,040
Speaker 9: still if they've got a good.

864
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:53,760
Speaker 1: Stable job.

865
00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:57,279
Speaker 9: I think that's going to benefit us as Republicans. You know,

866
00:47:57,320 --> 00:48:00,000
Speaker 9: President Trump is working hard to get a resolution related

867
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:03,640
Speaker 9: it to Iran to bring some stability to the gas markets.

868
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:04,799
Speaker 1: But I think we'll get there.

869
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:09,279
Speaker 9: In fact, once that's stabilized with Venezuela and Alaska, we're

870
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:12,120
Speaker 9: going to have such a great supply of gas and oil.

871
00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:15,800
Speaker 9: But we're trying to do something quicker than sooner than later.

872
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:18,200
Speaker 9: But overall, I think the economy is at a very

873
00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:18,880
Speaker 9: strong spot.

874
00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:22,319
Speaker 1: Do you think the House Republicans though, need to do

875
00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:25,960
Speaker 1: a little more on the economic front this summer are

876
00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:28,160
Speaker 1: we looking at I Mean, I'm seeing some reports of

877
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:31,640
Speaker 1: a Budget Reconciliation three point zero. Obviously there could be

878
00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:34,200
Speaker 1: some priorities in there, could there be tax cuts in

879
00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:36,800
Speaker 1: our future here. What's your sort of view on where

880
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:39,880
Speaker 1: the Republicans should steer the economic conversation out of the

881
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:40,800
Speaker 1: House this summer.

882
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:45,160
Speaker 9: Yeah, Well, we have a big housing package that we

883
00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:47,239
Speaker 9: passed out of the House. We're just waiting for the

884
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:50,680
Speaker 9: Senate to pass a final vote on that, and that's

885
00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:55,160
Speaker 9: actually a strong bipartisan bill. But it's going to really

886
00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:59,000
Speaker 9: give home builders some relief on regulations. It's going to

887
00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:04,239
Speaker 9: keep these large investment firms out of single family homes

888
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:08,160
Speaker 9: from driving up the price on single family homes. And

889
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:11,520
Speaker 9: it's going to also deal with some permitting and zoning

890
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:15,279
Speaker 9: issues that can slow down Obviously, interest rates are a

891
00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:18,960
Speaker 9: big piece to all that. With the new Federal Reserve

892
00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:21,600
Speaker 9: chair Kevin worsh I think that's going to have an impact.

893
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:24,319
Speaker 9: Housing is a big piece to all of this for

894
00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:28,000
Speaker 9: us as Americans. That's part of the American dream. Interest

895
00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:31,560
Speaker 9: rates are also going to affect auto buying and of

896
00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:33,840
Speaker 9: course credit cards as well. I think that was the

897
00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:36,560
Speaker 9: one piece that I wish we would have done, had

898
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:40,400
Speaker 9: a little more focus on President Trump actually threw that

899
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:43,120
Speaker 9: idea out there to cap credit cards at ten percent.

900
00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:44,680
Speaker 9: I don't know if we'll get it done this year

901
00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:46,480
Speaker 9: or not, but I think it's still something that should

902
00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:50,080
Speaker 9: be under consideration, even though it's for one year. Let's

903
00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:53,439
Speaker 9: just give consumers a cap for a one year, give

904
00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:57,320
Speaker 9: them some better buying power. So that's still on the table.

905
00:49:57,360 --> 00:49:59,879
Speaker 9: But we need to get into this next reconciliation pack

906
00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:04,040
Speaker 9: so that way we can get some Republican policies passed.

907
00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:06,040
Speaker 9: That's the only way we can get it passed because

908
00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:09,840
Speaker 9: we get no help from Democrats in the Senate. Outside

909
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:13,680
Speaker 9: of John Fetterman, Democrats are still fighting more for illegals

910
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:14,960
Speaker 9: than they are for the US citizen.

911
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:19,360
Speaker 1: Thirty seconds here. Congressman James Blair, one of the president's

912
00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:23,400
Speaker 1: political gurus, tweeted out a chart that's gotten some notice.

913
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:28,120
Speaker 1: Current Cook Political Report ratings shows that Republicans are favored

914
00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:31,640
Speaker 1: in two hundred and twelve House seats Democrats in just

915
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:34,120
Speaker 1: two hundred and five. That means Republicans would need to

916
00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:38,279
Speaker 1: win just six of eighteen toss up races to hold

917
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:41,440
Speaker 1: the majority. Where are you are Republicans going to OutKick

918
00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:44,319
Speaker 1: their historical coverage? Here? In the November midterm.

919
00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:47,719
Speaker 9: I think we are and a couple of reasons. This

920
00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:51,040
Speaker 9: is a Keem Jefferies first time through a midterm. Compared

921
00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:53,840
Speaker 9: to Nancy Pelosi, I think Nancy Pelosi had a better

922
00:50:54,200 --> 00:50:57,640
Speaker 9: control over their messaging these The Democrat Party has now

923
00:50:57,840 --> 00:51:02,000
Speaker 9: moved so far left Marxists social When I hear people

924
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:04,840
Speaker 9: saying from Jerusalem that they're going to put together a

925
00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:07,840
Speaker 9: prey for the piece of New York campaign, it tells

926
00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:09,520
Speaker 9: you where the Democrat.

927
00:51:09,120 --> 00:51:15,000
Speaker 1: Party gets liaded. Congressman Marlin Stutsman of the Hoosier State Indiana, Oh,

928
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:16,640
Speaker 1: we didn't get to it, and I got to take

929
00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:18,440
Speaker 1: a break, but congratulate. I guess you're gonna have the

930
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:22,440
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears over in Indiana now, which is crazy. We'll

931
00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:26,200
Speaker 1: talk about that next time. Two football teams in Indiana,

932
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:28,799
Speaker 1: not in Chicago. All right, we'll take a break. Come

933
00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:30,759
Speaker 1: right back on the Scott Jennings Show after this.

934
00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:34,520
Speaker 6: Common sense for the American people. This is the Scott

935
00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:35,520
Speaker 6: Jenny Show.

936
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:39,760
Speaker 1: Monday, June the eighth, got a little breaking news alert

937
00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:42,160
Speaker 1: from our friends over at free Spoke. By the way,

938
00:51:42,239 --> 00:51:45,520
Speaker 1: free Spoke, you don't use it. It's a great search engine.

939
00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:48,839
Speaker 1: You get views from across the spectrum. But one thing

940
00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:51,040
Speaker 1: I found real value on free book. I don't keep

941
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:53,680
Speaker 1: a lot of notifications on on my stuff, like I

942
00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:57,759
Speaker 1: was persuaded a while back to turn off notifications, and

943
00:51:57,800 --> 00:52:02,320
Speaker 1: I largely have, but I do get breaking news notifications

944
00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:04,440
Speaker 1: from free Spoke. I got one in the commercial break.

945
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:09,840
Speaker 1: Gordon Wood, Pullitzer Prize winning historian of the American Revolution

946
00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:13,160
Speaker 1: is dead at the age of ninety two after being

947
00:52:13,239 --> 00:52:17,520
Speaker 1: hit by a car. He died on Sunday. He was

948
00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:22,000
Speaker 1: in a supermarket parking lot in East Providence, Rhode Island,

949
00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:24,960
Speaker 1: and I guess it was struck by a vehicle. He

950
00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:29,240
Speaker 1: was Professor Emeritus at Brown University, and he was widely

951
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:32,880
Speaker 1: recognized for his books The Creation of the American Republic

952
00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:37,600
Speaker 1: and the Radicalism of the American Revolution. Very influential academic.

953
00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:42,520
Speaker 1: Gordon Wood, Pulitzer Prize winning historian of the American Revolution,

954
00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:44,480
Speaker 1: dead at the age of ninety two. Hit by a

955
00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:47,160
Speaker 1: car at the market. And I learned that from our

956
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:52,040
Speaker 1: friends over at Free Spoke, Scott Jennings here on Salem.

957
00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:56,959
Speaker 1: While I was gone. This blow up over at CBS

958
00:52:56,960 --> 00:53:01,680
Speaker 1: News happened. Scott Pelley, who many of you know from

959
00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:05,319
Speaker 1: sixty Minutes. If you watch sixty Minutes, he's one of

960
00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:11,920
Speaker 1: their main correspondents. I guess was fired by Barry Weiss

961
00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:17,480
Speaker 1: and the new leadership over there for I guess in subordination.

962
00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:19,000
Speaker 1: I don't know what else you would call it. But

963
00:53:19,160 --> 00:53:26,000
Speaker 1: Pelly went to a staff meeting last Monday and described

964
00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:30,600
Speaker 1: Barry Weiss, the new head of CBS News, is quote unqualified,

965
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:34,520
Speaker 1: and she had put in charge of CBS. She had

966
00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:37,440
Speaker 1: taken out the leadership of sixty Minutes and put in

967
00:53:37,480 --> 00:53:39,840
Speaker 1: this guy built In. He then stands up in the

968
00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:44,280
Speaker 1: meeting and says he's not qualified either. And so Scott Pelley,

969
00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:49,360
Speaker 1: who works there, shows up at a staff meeting and says,

970
00:53:49,719 --> 00:53:53,400
Speaker 1: you're unqualified, You're unqualified, you don't know what you're doing.

971
00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:56,840
Speaker 1: I'm smart, you're stupid, I'm good looking, you're ugly, whatever.

972
00:53:58,280 --> 00:54:02,000
Speaker 1: And he does this out in an open staff meeting. Well,

973
00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:05,479
Speaker 1: he was terminated the next day, and the new head

974
00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:09,600
Speaker 1: of sixty Minutes, built In justified the firing by saying

975
00:54:09,760 --> 00:54:14,120
Speaker 1: Pelly's quote performative display of hostility showed that quote, you

976
00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:17,120
Speaker 1: have no interest in contributing to the future success of

977
00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:20,960
Speaker 1: the show or approaching my new tenure with an open

978
00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:26,640
Speaker 1: mind to collaboration and progress. Scott Pelly went to a

979
00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:30,759
Speaker 1: staff meeting at his place of business and crapped upon

980
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:33,960
Speaker 1: the bosses. Now, I don't care how famous you are,

981
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:35,839
Speaker 1: I don't care how rich you are, I don't care

982
00:54:36,719 --> 00:54:40,040
Speaker 1: how tenured you are. There are some rules of the

983
00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:42,880
Speaker 1: road for working for other people. One of them is

984
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:47,560
Speaker 1: you can't go to the meeting and be openly insubordinate

985
00:54:48,239 --> 00:54:53,600
Speaker 1: and not expect some consequence. I mean we all know that, right,

986
00:54:53,640 --> 00:54:56,359
Speaker 1: I mean any I mean any one of us, whether

987
00:54:56,400 --> 00:55:01,200
Speaker 1: we're working in radio or TV, or a fact or

988
00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:05,600
Speaker 1: an accounting firm or a plumber or whatever, wherever you work,

989
00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:09,719
Speaker 1: you can't go to the office and crap on the

990
00:55:09,760 --> 00:55:16,080
Speaker 1: bosses and say you're stupid. I'm smart. Scott Pelly did

991
00:55:16,080 --> 00:55:20,720
Speaker 1: this and is like shocked, shocked that he was fired.

992
00:55:20,760 --> 00:55:26,120
Speaker 1: He gave an interview this weekend to Lulu Garcia Navarro,

993
00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:32,000
Speaker 1: who at The New York Times. Right now, by the way, Lulu,

994
00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:34,879
Speaker 1: who I know she's also does work on CNN. We're

995
00:55:34,880 --> 00:55:38,080
Speaker 1: on all the time together. We're not of the same politics,

996
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:40,960
Speaker 1: but I got to tell you, and it's the New

997
00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:44,359
Speaker 1: York Times, which you know, I'm basically had it with.

998
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:47,239
Speaker 1: But I don't know if there's anybody doing better interviews

999
00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:51,319
Speaker 1: in American media right now than Lulu. Lulu gets it

1000
00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:53,360
Speaker 1: out of you, like she asks you the right questions,

1001
00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:56,640
Speaker 1: and I think, honestly in this interview that she has done,

1002
00:55:56,680 --> 00:55:58,840
Speaker 1: which I encourage you to listen to for her podcast

1003
00:55:58,840 --> 00:56:01,040
Speaker 1: at the New York Times, what she's done is she's

1004
00:56:01,040 --> 00:56:06,480
Speaker 1: given Scott Pelly enough rope to basically show the American

1005
00:56:06,520 --> 00:56:10,440
Speaker 1: people how out of touch he was, how condescending he is,

1006
00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:15,319
Speaker 1: how elitist he is, how absolutely ridiculous he is. But

1007
00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:18,640
Speaker 1: the most amazing thing that happened in this interview is

1008
00:56:18,719 --> 00:56:22,800
Speaker 1: after going to this meeting and crapping on the bosses,

1009
00:56:24,560 --> 00:56:27,359
Speaker 1: here's what Scott Pelly had to say about how surprised

1010
00:56:27,440 --> 00:56:31,000
Speaker 1: he was that he was fired cut seventeen.

1011
00:56:31,680 --> 00:56:35,399
Speaker 10: But it really didn't occur to you that you could

1012
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:38,520
Speaker 10: be fired after so many of your colleagues had been

1013
00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:42,680
Speaker 10: let go, after you'd had this very contentious interaction with

1014
00:56:42,920 --> 00:56:43,720
Speaker 10: your new boss.

1015
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:46,680
Speaker 5: You know, some reporter I turned out to be. I

1016
00:56:46,840 --> 00:56:51,680
Speaker 5: just didn't connect the dots. I mean, was this meeting contentious, Yes,

1017
00:56:51,760 --> 00:56:56,160
Speaker 5: but sixty minutes is known for two things, a ticking

1018
00:56:56,200 --> 00:57:00,319
Speaker 5: stopwatch and hard questions. And we ask ourselves those hard

1019
00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:04,239
Speaker 5: questions in the shop because they sharpen us and make

1020
00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:05,000
Speaker 5: us better.

1021
00:57:06,360 --> 00:57:10,640
Speaker 1: Scott Pelly, who we are supposed to look at as

1022
00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:14,640
Speaker 1: some sort of arbiter of the truth, one of the

1023
00:57:14,719 --> 00:57:19,800
Speaker 1: smart people telling us how our world operates. An investigative journalist.

1024
00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:23,480
Speaker 1: Had no idea that if you go to a meeting

1025
00:57:23,560 --> 00:57:27,919
Speaker 1: at your office and crap on your boss and tell

1026
00:57:27,960 --> 00:57:31,280
Speaker 1: them they are unqualified, had no idea that this could

1027
00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:36,720
Speaker 1: have an adverse impact on his employment status. He said

1028
00:57:36,760 --> 00:57:40,840
Speaker 1: other things that I mean it was. It was banger

1029
00:57:40,960 --> 00:57:45,280
Speaker 1: after banger from Scott Pelly that Lulu got out of him.

1030
00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:48,640
Speaker 1: Let's listen to Let's listen to this one. This one

1031
00:57:48,680 --> 00:57:51,880
Speaker 1: is interesting. Look, I'm somebody who believes in the free press.

1032
00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:55,920
Speaker 1: I have my quibbles with certain outlets, a lot of outlets, actually,

1033
00:57:56,680 --> 00:57:59,680
Speaker 1: but I believe in the need for a strong, trusted,

1034
00:57:59,720 --> 00:58:02,400
Speaker 1: free press. I believe in it, I work in it.

1035
00:58:02,480 --> 00:58:05,160
Speaker 1: I believe we have a deficit of trust in the

1036
00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:08,240
Speaker 1: media for a reason. It can be restored. It can

1037
00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:12,360
Speaker 1: only be restored if people begin to believe the press

1038
00:58:12,800 --> 00:58:17,280
Speaker 1: is telling the truth. Here is a comment from Pelly.

1039
00:58:17,360 --> 00:58:18,920
Speaker 1: I want you to listen to you tell me if

1040
00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:20,200
Speaker 1: he's committed to the same idea.

1041
00:58:20,280 --> 00:58:28,280
Speaker 5: Cut nineteen, our deadline was noon. It's now almost five o'clock.

1042
00:58:29,680 --> 00:58:34,880
Speaker 5: That's dangerous as hell. And so I decided that I

1043
00:58:34,880 --> 00:58:38,200
Speaker 5: wouldn't do those things. I wasn't going to get in

1044
00:58:38,280 --> 00:58:40,960
Speaker 5: a debate about it. I wasn't going to call Barry

1045
00:58:40,960 --> 00:58:43,320
Speaker 5: Weiss about it. I was just going to refuse to

1046
00:58:43,320 --> 00:58:44,240
Speaker 5: make those changes.

1047
00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:50,560
Speaker 1: So what Pelly is talking about is his boss, Barry Weiss, who,

1048
00:58:50,600 --> 00:58:53,960
Speaker 1: regardless of what you think of Barry, is a smart

1049
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:57,000
Speaker 1: person who knows journalism. She also worked at The New

1050
00:58:57,080 --> 00:58:59,600
Speaker 1: York Times. She started her own media company called The

1051
00:58:59,600 --> 00:59:04,560
Speaker 1: Free Us. She's hardly this maga conservative that everybody's screaming about.

1052
00:59:04,680 --> 00:59:08,720
Speaker 1: She's basically a middle of the road true journalist. That's

1053
00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:11,520
Speaker 1: what Barry Weiss is known for, putting out things that

1054
00:59:11,560 --> 00:59:15,320
Speaker 1: are true, asking the correct questions. She goes to the

1055
00:59:15,320 --> 00:59:18,040
Speaker 1: people at sixty minutes with some questions about a story,

1056
00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:24,560
Speaker 1: and Pelly says, well, sorry, we're past the deadline and

1057
00:59:24,600 --> 00:59:27,120
Speaker 1: I'm not going to miss a deadline for the sake

1058
00:59:27,320 --> 00:59:32,960
Speaker 1: of accuracy. Now ask yourself. Does that increase trust in

1059
00:59:33,040 --> 00:59:37,840
Speaker 1: journalism or does that decrease trust in journalism? Well, sorry,

1060
00:59:37,920 --> 00:59:41,440
Speaker 1: Barry Weiss, she asked questions too late in the process.

1061
00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:43,880
Speaker 1: So we're just going to go with what we have

1062
00:59:45,160 --> 00:59:50,240
Speaker 1: for the sake of speed, not for the sake of accuracy. Crazy,

1063
00:59:50,640 --> 00:59:51,760
Speaker 1: Let's listen to cut twenty.

1064
00:59:52,400 --> 00:59:55,520
Speaker 5: You don't break a deadline. Now, this is four hours

1065
00:59:55,560 --> 01:00:02,480
Speaker 5: after that episode of sixty Minutes came within nineteen minutes

1066
01:00:02,560 --> 01:00:07,880
Speaker 5: of not making air the entire hour of sixty minutes.

1067
01:00:10,560 --> 01:00:13,560
Speaker 5: It was the night of the Grammys. Sixty Minutes was

1068
01:00:13,600 --> 01:00:16,520
Speaker 5: the lead into the Grammys, and we almost didn't have

1069
01:00:16,560 --> 01:00:21,840
Speaker 5: a broadcast nineteen minutes. I can't imagine that's ever happened before.

1070
01:00:22,800 --> 01:00:25,720
Speaker 5: And I pledged to myself at that time that no

1071
01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:29,200
Speaker 5: matter what Barry Weiss wanted to do in a story,

1072
01:00:29,760 --> 01:00:31,720
Speaker 5: I would never break the deadline again.

1073
01:00:32,920 --> 01:00:37,160
Speaker 1: No matter what my boss wanted to do, I would

1074
01:00:37,200 --> 01:00:40,080
Speaker 1: never do it. Would never break a deadline, no matter

1075
01:00:40,120 --> 01:00:44,120
Speaker 1: what my boss said, no matter what good question Bairry

1076
01:00:44,120 --> 01:00:48,480
Speaker 1: Weiss might have, no matter whether we can fully verify

1077
01:00:48,600 --> 01:00:51,680
Speaker 1: whether something is honest and thorough and accurate as we

1078
01:00:51,760 --> 01:00:56,480
Speaker 1: present it to the American people, I won't break a deadline.

1079
01:00:56,680 --> 01:01:00,720
Speaker 1: I mean, think about what's being communicated here. Sixty minutes

1080
01:01:01,160 --> 01:01:05,240
Speaker 1: with Scott Pelly involved, would give you information that might

1081
01:01:05,320 --> 01:01:08,800
Speaker 1: be false, that might not be full, that might not

1082
01:01:08,840 --> 01:01:11,960
Speaker 1: be the whole story, that might not be accurate. But oh,

1083
01:01:12,360 --> 01:01:16,440
Speaker 1: we met our deadline. Our deadline for what our deadline

1084
01:01:16,440 --> 01:01:18,680
Speaker 1: for putting something on the air, putting water on the air,

1085
01:01:19,560 --> 01:01:23,280
Speaker 1: something that's inaccurate, something that's biased, something that doesn't tell

1086
01:01:23,320 --> 01:01:25,560
Speaker 1: you the full story. I mean, that's what I'm hearing.

1087
01:01:26,320 --> 01:01:30,360
Speaker 1: Is that to them that ticking stopwatch matters more than

1088
01:01:31,640 --> 01:01:36,480
Speaker 1: is this information fully accurate? And he has no idea

1089
01:01:36,600 --> 01:01:39,040
Speaker 1: why the American people have a problem with the media

1090
01:01:39,120 --> 01:01:42,680
Speaker 1: institutions right now, here's more from Pelly cut fifteen.

1091
01:01:43,960 --> 01:01:47,120
Speaker 5: Newsrooms are sort of like the military, or the police,

1092
01:01:47,520 --> 01:01:52,560
Speaker 5: or the beautiful people at the FDN y down the street.

1093
01:01:52,680 --> 01:02:00,280
Speaker 5: It is a life threatening job in many instances, and

1094
01:02:02,040 --> 01:02:07,200
Speaker 5: very strong bonds, very emotional bonds, are found, are developed

1095
01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:13,000
Speaker 5: in that kind of setting. And to have people running

1096
01:02:13,040 --> 01:02:18,800
Speaker 5: CBS News who don't know that, have never felt that,

1097
01:02:19,520 --> 01:02:27,120
Speaker 5: and don't understand it is a tragedy I never expected

1098
01:02:27,160 --> 01:02:29,240
Speaker 5: to see.

1099
01:02:29,480 --> 01:02:31,200
Speaker 1: I don't even know what he is trying to say

1100
01:02:31,240 --> 01:02:35,960
Speaker 1: there because he got fired for insubordination, he assumes that

1101
01:02:36,040 --> 01:02:41,000
Speaker 1: his bosses don't know anything about the nature of journalism.

1102
01:02:41,360 --> 01:02:43,600
Speaker 1: Do you think most Americans agree with that statement? By

1103
01:02:43,640 --> 01:02:46,760
Speaker 1: the way, do they equate journalism with firefighters or members

1104
01:02:46,760 --> 01:02:50,520
Speaker 1: of the military or police officers. I'm not sure that's true.

1105
01:02:50,560 --> 01:02:52,000
Speaker 1: One more from Pelly cut sixteen.

1106
01:02:53,040 --> 01:03:00,959
Speaker 5: These bonds are pretty tight. And when somebody wipes out

1107
01:03:02,440 --> 01:03:09,479
Speaker 5: murders a large number of your family members, people are

1108
01:03:09,640 --> 01:03:18,040
Speaker 5: hurt and shocked, in disbelief and just desperate for some explanation.

1109
01:03:18,440 --> 01:03:21,440
Speaker 5: And as you and I sit here today, there's still

1110
01:03:21,880 --> 01:03:22,920
Speaker 5: has been none.

1111
01:03:24,560 --> 01:03:28,520
Speaker 1: So he calls people being fired for insubordination. He equates

1112
01:03:28,560 --> 01:03:32,800
Speaker 1: that to murder, to murder, and he says, well, I

1113
01:03:32,880 --> 01:03:36,720
Speaker 1: still don't know why I was fired. Let me explain

1114
01:03:36,760 --> 01:03:40,400
Speaker 1: it to you in terms that perhaps even you can understand.

1115
01:03:41,520 --> 01:03:46,320
Speaker 1: You were fired because you were insubordinate and you clearly

1116
01:03:46,360 --> 01:03:48,760
Speaker 1: have no idea what the purpose of your job is.

1117
01:03:50,240 --> 01:03:53,960
Speaker 1: That's the cleanest, clearest explanation of what happened to Scott

1118
01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:56,360
Speaker 1: Pelley and this side. Look, I'm sure he'll be on

1119
01:03:56,480 --> 01:03:58,960
Speaker 1: substack and this guy will be you know, the next

1120
01:03:59,040 --> 01:04:02,880
Speaker 1: Keith Olberman within the next twelve months. But this arrogance,

1121
01:04:03,280 --> 01:04:07,240
Speaker 1: this feigning ignorance about what happened, why it happened, why

1122
01:04:07,320 --> 01:04:09,840
Speaker 1: you were in the wrong. And these are the people

1123
01:04:09,880 --> 01:04:14,960
Speaker 1: we trust to bring us information. Unbelievable. Quick word from

1124
01:04:14,960 --> 01:04:19,200
Speaker 1: our friends at chapter here's the word. The word is Medicare.

1125
01:04:19,880 --> 01:04:24,720
Speaker 1: Medicare is complicated. Medicare they make it complicated on purpose.

1126
01:04:25,160 --> 01:04:27,480
Speaker 1: You get all the half truths you can handle. You

1127
01:04:27,520 --> 01:04:29,880
Speaker 1: need the full truth. And the way you get it

1128
01:04:29,960 --> 01:04:32,600
Speaker 1: is by calling chapter. You pick up your phone and

1129
01:04:32,640 --> 01:04:35,920
Speaker 1: you dial pound two fifty. You say Medicare plan. You

1130
01:04:35,960 --> 01:04:38,440
Speaker 1: make the free call. There's no pressure. You talk to

1131
01:04:38,480 --> 01:04:41,120
Speaker 1: a real person. And here's basically what they do. They

1132
01:04:41,160 --> 01:04:43,480
Speaker 1: tell you whether you have the right Medicare plan, and

1133
01:04:43,520 --> 01:04:45,440
Speaker 1: if you do, great, and if you don't, they'll figure

1134
01:04:45,440 --> 01:04:48,640
Speaker 1: out the correct one that saves you money. My parents

1135
01:04:48,680 --> 01:04:53,400
Speaker 1: did this. They got my dad a new primary care physician.

1136
01:04:53,440 --> 01:04:55,800
Speaker 1: They saved my mom six hundred bucks in her plan G.

1137
01:04:56,000 --> 01:04:58,440
Speaker 1: They can do the same for you. Dial Pound two fifty,

1138
01:04:58,520 --> 01:05:02,280
Speaker 1: say Medicare plan. Don't trust the half truths, call the

1139
01:05:02,280 --> 01:05:05,240
Speaker 1: full truth. You get it from chapter Chapter. These guys

1140
01:05:05,280 --> 01:05:07,360
Speaker 1: know what they're doing. Wrap up the show. When we

1141
01:05:07,360 --> 01:05:08,840
Speaker 1: come back, it's Scott on Salem.

1142
01:05:09,120 --> 01:05:12,560
Speaker 6: Stay with us, the voice of reason, common sense for

1143
01:05:12,600 --> 01:05:15,800
Speaker 6: the American people. This is the Scott Jenny Show.

1144
01:05:17,080 --> 01:05:19,600
Speaker 1: Oh it's good to be back at the office. Thanks

1145
01:05:19,640 --> 01:05:22,680
Speaker 1: for listening to the Scott Jennings Show, Common Sense for

1146
01:05:22,720 --> 01:05:25,480
Speaker 1: the American People. Here on Monday, June the eighth. By

1147
01:05:25,480 --> 01:05:28,600
Speaker 1: the way, I'll be over at CNN this afternoon joining

1148
01:05:28,720 --> 01:05:32,480
Speaker 1: Jake Tapper on the lead, and then later tonight, I

1149
01:05:32,560 --> 01:05:35,560
Speaker 1: believe I am due to talk to Caitlin Collins. Her

1150
01:05:35,600 --> 01:05:37,800
Speaker 1: show is at nine Eastern. So a couple of US

1151
01:05:37,800 --> 01:05:40,040
Speaker 1: CNN appearances coming up, and I'll be back on the

1152
01:05:40,080 --> 01:05:42,600
Speaker 1: air really the rest of the week on CNN. Got

1153
01:05:42,600 --> 01:05:44,840
Speaker 1: a lot of work to do, and I guess one

1154
01:05:44,880 --> 01:05:46,600
Speaker 1: of the things we'll be talking about this week. We

1155
01:05:46,720 --> 01:05:50,280
Speaker 1: got the primaries coming up. We're in the primary season.

1156
01:05:50,320 --> 01:05:52,480
Speaker 1: So what do we have tomorrow. Let's see, We've got

1157
01:05:52,520 --> 01:05:58,160
Speaker 1: the primaries in Maine. We got Nazi tattoo Guy Platner,

1158
01:05:58,280 --> 01:06:01,440
Speaker 1: he I guess, is like to win, although the governor there,

1159
01:06:01,520 --> 01:06:04,560
Speaker 1: Janet Mills, is still on the ballot. Got a couple

1160
01:06:04,600 --> 01:06:06,880
Speaker 1: of other races in Maine going on. Got some stuff

1161
01:06:06,920 --> 01:06:11,000
Speaker 1: going on in Nevada, Oh, South Carolina. We haven't really

1162
01:06:11,040 --> 01:06:14,640
Speaker 1: interviewed any of the Republicans running for governor of South Carolina.

1163
01:06:14,680 --> 01:06:17,080
Speaker 1: It's interesting down there. Nancy Mace is in that race.

1164
01:06:17,200 --> 01:06:20,320
Speaker 1: Ralph Norman is in that race. But just in the

1165
01:06:20,400 --> 01:06:24,480
Speaker 1: last few days, Lieutenant Governor Pamela Yvette picked up the

1166
01:06:24,600 --> 01:06:27,920
Speaker 1: endorsement of President Trump, and she's also supported by the

1167
01:06:27,920 --> 01:06:31,840
Speaker 1: current governor, Henry McMaster. It seems likely to me that

1168
01:06:31,920 --> 01:06:33,320
Speaker 1: she would make a run. I think we're headed for

1169
01:06:33,360 --> 01:06:36,080
Speaker 1: a run off there. It's a big primary. Also, the

1170
01:06:36,120 --> 01:06:39,520
Speaker 1: Attorney General, Allan Wilson is in that down there, So anyway,

1171
01:06:39,520 --> 01:06:43,120
Speaker 1: it's a big ticket night in the Republican party there

1172
01:06:43,120 --> 01:06:46,800
Speaker 1: in South Carolina to see who's going to succeed Henry McMaster.

1173
01:06:47,160 --> 01:06:50,600
Speaker 1: One other thing that crossed my desk. I don't think

1174
01:06:50,640 --> 01:06:53,840
Speaker 1: this is getting enough attention. Maybe it's because it doesn't

1175
01:06:53,880 --> 01:06:57,720
Speaker 1: fit the narrative. Constantly we're being told we have a

1176
01:06:57,760 --> 01:07:02,440
Speaker 1: poverty problem and inequality problem, and a lack of government

1177
01:07:02,520 --> 01:07:06,480
Speaker 1: spending problem. Like they say, we gott to spend more,

1178
01:07:06,600 --> 01:07:10,640
Speaker 1: we'll fix these things. But honestly, I think the biggest

1179
01:07:10,680 --> 01:07:15,360
Speaker 1: issue is just that we're retreating from work. Here's some

1180
01:07:15,400 --> 01:07:19,240
Speaker 1: new numbers that cross my desk today over the last year.

1181
01:07:19,920 --> 01:07:24,320
Speaker 1: By the way, this comes from the Agriculture Secretary, Brooke Rolins.

1182
01:07:24,440 --> 01:07:27,200
Speaker 1: I ought to get your attention. Over the last year,

1183
01:07:27,960 --> 01:07:34,240
Speaker 1: roughly four point three million Americans have left the food

1184
01:07:34,280 --> 01:07:38,040
Speaker 1: stamp program. Now, if you look at the coverage of this,

1185
01:07:38,720 --> 01:07:41,840
Speaker 1: you'd think this was some sort of catastrophe. But I

1186
01:07:41,840 --> 01:07:45,080
Speaker 1: think we ought to ask the obvious question, is this

1187
01:07:45,160 --> 01:07:49,720
Speaker 1: really bad news when this many millions of people no

1188
01:07:49,800 --> 01:07:57,760
Speaker 1: longer need government assistance. The food stamp rolls had ballooned

1189
01:07:58,200 --> 01:08:01,080
Speaker 1: during the pandemic, and they, frankly, he had just never

1190
01:08:01,280 --> 01:08:06,480
Speaker 1: returned to normal. In January of twenty twenty five, when

1191
01:08:06,520 --> 01:08:11,400
Speaker 1: Donald Trump took office, forty three million Americans were on

1192
01:08:11,440 --> 01:08:16,000
Speaker 1: food stamps forty three million, twelve percent of the country.

1193
01:08:17,040 --> 01:08:20,719
Speaker 1: Now we're down to about thirty eight and a half million.

1194
01:08:21,680 --> 01:08:25,800
Speaker 1: Does this sound catastrophic? Maybe you think it does. Maybe

1195
01:08:25,800 --> 01:08:28,240
Speaker 1: you think, gosh, we can't take that many people off,

1196
01:08:28,680 --> 01:08:31,200
Speaker 1: because that would take us back to numbers not seen

1197
01:08:31,400 --> 01:08:36,800
Speaker 1: since twenty nineteen. I don't think anybody was arguing that

1198
01:08:36,840 --> 01:08:39,840
Speaker 1: America was collapsing in twenty nineteen when we had thirty

1199
01:08:39,840 --> 01:08:45,160
Speaker 1: eight plus million people on food stamps. What happened here? Well,

1200
01:08:45,200 --> 01:08:47,000
Speaker 1: first of all, I think some people are getting jobs

1201
01:08:47,040 --> 01:08:49,880
Speaker 1: in the private sector. That's number one. This isn't supposed

1202
01:08:49,920 --> 01:08:51,759
Speaker 1: to be a lifestyle. It's supposed to be a bridge.

1203
01:08:51,840 --> 01:08:56,120
Speaker 1: Number two, I think the Trump administration and the Republicans

1204
01:08:56,160 --> 01:08:59,760
Speaker 1: went back to an old fashioned concept. That is, if

1205
01:08:59,760 --> 01:09:03,240
Speaker 1: you're able bodied and you're not taking care of children,

1206
01:09:04,080 --> 01:09:08,200
Speaker 1: and you're receiving assistance from fellow taxpayers, you need to

1207
01:09:08,240 --> 01:09:12,400
Speaker 1: start looking for a job. You need to start trying

1208
01:09:12,439 --> 01:09:15,720
Speaker 1: to train for a job, or you need to even volunteer.

1209
01:09:16,280 --> 01:09:20,759
Speaker 1: Not forty hours a week, not a full time twenty hours,

1210
01:09:21,160 --> 01:09:24,200
Speaker 1: you got to try to do something. I think people

1211
01:09:24,240 --> 01:09:28,600
Speaker 1: are starting to internalize that we're not going to be

1212
01:09:28,640 --> 01:09:32,920
Speaker 1: a country where everybody sits at home and draws checks

1213
01:09:32,920 --> 01:09:36,559
Speaker 1: from the government, gets on these programs, and considers that

1214
01:09:36,600 --> 01:09:40,840
Speaker 1: to be case clothes for me, I made it onto

1215
01:09:40,840 --> 01:09:43,400
Speaker 1: food stamps, I got on a Medicaid. Now I get

1216
01:09:43,439 --> 01:09:44,920
Speaker 1: to sit here for the rest of my life. That

1217
01:09:45,080 --> 01:09:48,640
Speaker 1: kind of was an attitude Republicans say, you know what,

1218
01:09:49,760 --> 01:09:52,440
Speaker 1: if you're not taking care of others, you're not disabled.

1219
01:09:52,520 --> 01:09:56,400
Speaker 1: If you're an able bodied person, you need to start

1220
01:09:56,640 --> 01:10:00,479
Speaker 1: thinking about taking care of yourself being a p deductive

1221
01:10:00,520 --> 01:10:05,479
Speaker 1: member of our society. These work requirements kick in pretty soon,

1222
01:10:06,520 --> 01:10:08,680
Speaker 1: but I think people are starting to prepare for it,

1223
01:10:08,840 --> 01:10:10,680
Speaker 1: and I think taxpayers, by the way, are going to

1224
01:10:10,680 --> 01:10:14,000
Speaker 1: sign up for this. I think voters are fine with it.

1225
01:10:14,040 --> 01:10:15,720
Speaker 1: I think they were fine with it under Clinton when

1226
01:10:15,720 --> 01:10:18,320
Speaker 1: he did it. I think they'll be fine with it now.

1227
01:10:19,320 --> 01:10:22,080
Speaker 1: I think these numbers from the Agriculture Department getting us

1228
01:10:22,080 --> 01:10:25,160
Speaker 1: back to twenty nineteen levels ought to be a template

1229
01:10:25,200 --> 01:10:28,240
Speaker 1: for the rest of government. Government spending is nowhere near
