1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:04,120 Speaker 1: Western civilization at poisone and delivering common sense for the 2 00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:05,000 Speaker 1: American people. 3 00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:12,039 Speaker 2: Common Sense for the American people. Welcome to the skatch. 4 00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:17,320 Speaker 3: Conservatives score a huge election victory in Japan. The Epstein 5 00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:21,040 Speaker 3: files are back in the news and roiling British politics. 6 00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 3: A huge Medicaid fraud scandal unfolding an Oregon. We'll have 7 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 3: a live report. It is Monday, February ninth. Common Sense 8 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,960 Speaker 3: for the American people. This is Scott Jennings here on 9 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,800 Speaker 3: Salem and we start with the news this hour. While 10 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 3: you slept, the Japanese held an election and the Conservatives. 11 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,199 Speaker 2: Rolled to a landslide victory. 12 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:48,880 Speaker 3: Seems the populist backlash against elite failure continues to grow 13 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:53,680 Speaker 3: around the world. Japanese Prime Minister Senai Takaichi took a 14 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 3: big risk by calling a snap election, and the bet 15 00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 3: paid off. She led her party to a thumping in 16 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 3: the parliamentary elections and now has a powerful mandate to 17 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 3: deepen ties with the United States and to rev up 18 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 3: Japan's economy. Takaichi's coalition looks to have won three hundred 19 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 3: and fifty two seats out of the four hundred and 20 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 3: sixty five in Japan's lower house chamber. That's well over 21 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:24,039 Speaker 3: a two thirds majority, and it is enough to overrule 22 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 3: the upper house in their system. Even more important, they 23 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,680 Speaker 3: have the power now to rewrite the Japanese Constitution, which 24 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 3: could lead to them abolishing the law against Japanese militarization. 25 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 3: That would provide an incredible bulwark of support for the 26 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 3: defense of the Pacific against China. This is an enormous 27 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 3: amount of power for the Prime Minister and a phenomenal 28 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 3: development for the United States of America. Staying overseas this 29 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 3: time with Vice President J. D. Vance, who left the 30 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 3: Olympics in Italy and headed to Armenia where he's strengthening 31 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 3: ties with that nations leadership. 32 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 2: Let's hear from the Vice President cut eleven. 33 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 4: This is one of the. 34 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 5: Oldest Christian countries in the entire world, of true bedrock 35 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,079 Speaker 5: of Christian civilization and culture. As a devout Christian myself, 36 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 5: I know the meaning of this country to the entire 37 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 5: world and to the religion that the Prime Minister and 38 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 5: I share. So to the people of Armenia and the 39 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 5: great Prime Minister, I want to thank you for your partnership. 40 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 5: President Trump is committed to this partnership, and so am 41 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 5: I and we're thrilled to be here to take the 42 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 5: next step. 43 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 4: God bless you. 44 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 3: Vice President Vance meeting with Armenian Prime Minister Nicole Pashignon 45 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 3: about a number of issues today up on Capitol Hill. 46 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 3: Gilaine Maxwell showed up in Washington for a deposition today, 47 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 3: but the Epstein co conspirator took the fifth Amendment in 48 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 3: her meeting with the ALSE Oversight Committee. Committee Chairman James 49 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 3: Comer of Kentucky laid out the calendar ahead in this 50 00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 3: unfolding investigation. 51 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 2: Here's cut twelve. 52 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 6: February twenty six. We have former Secretary of State Hillary 53 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 6: Clinton February twenty seventh, Former President Bill Clinton March eleventh, 54 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 6: Richard Kahn, Epstein's accountant, in March nineteenth, Darren Indo, Epstein's lawyer. 55 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 3: Today, lawmakers can review unredacted Epstein files up at the 56 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 3: Department of Justice. Representative Thomas Massey of Kentucky says he 57 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 3: plans to go over and look at them today. I 58 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,399 Speaker 3: would expect some commentary from the members who do look 59 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,079 Speaker 3: at the files, although it seems to me at this 60 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 3: point the victims themselves, or at least the legislators who 61 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 3: claim to know things should start naming names if they 62 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 3: have them. And the Epstein case has rocked the upper 63 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 3: levels of British politics. Prime Minister Keir Starmer is under 64 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 3: pressure to resign over his role in making Peter Mandelsson 65 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 3: the British ambassador to the United States despite Mandelson's close 66 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 3: ties to Epstein. We'll keep an eye on the situation 67 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 3: seems to be evolving rapidly. In fact, Morgan McSweeney, chief 68 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 3: of staff who Prime Minister Stormer, has resigned. Checking in 69 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 3: on the American economy, the dal Jones hit fifty thousand 70 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:16,039 Speaker 3: for the first time on Friday, and today White House 71 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:20,559 Speaker 3: Economic Advisor Kevin Hassett is touting strong economic growth. 72 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,720 Speaker 2: Let's take a listen to Hassett cut thirteen. 73 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,600 Speaker 7: Well, I think that there are two forces that are 74 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 7: sort of pushing down and then one force that's pushing up. 75 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 7: The forces pushing up is the GDP. Growth is through 76 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,280 Speaker 7: the roof, even with a revised down GDP. Now we're 77 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 7: looking at four percent growth into the end of the year, 78 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 7: three percent for the year as a whole, despite the 79 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,479 Speaker 7: fact that we had a really negative first quarter with 80 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 7: Joe Biden, and so that's the positive effect that negative 81 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 7: effects are when there's a productivity boom, then maybe you 82 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,719 Speaker 7: can make the same amount of stuff with fewer workers, 83 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 7: since that might reduce labor demand. And then the other 84 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 7: thing is that there's a pretty big decline in the 85 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 7: labor force because illegals leaving the country. And so the 86 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 7: break even job number is quite a bit lower than 87 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 7: it was under Joe Biden, when there were people, you know, 88 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 7: basically coming across the border willy nilly, and so I 89 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 7: think that you should expect slightly smaller job numbers that 90 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 7: are consistent with high GDP growth right now. And the 91 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,599 Speaker 7: one shouldn't panic if you see a sequence of numbers 92 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 7: that are lower than you're used to, because again, population 93 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 7: growth is going down and productivity growth is skyrocketing. It's 94 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 7: an unusual set of circumstances now. 95 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 2: If you cut through the clutter. 96 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 3: An emerging story to tell from the White House is 97 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 3: forming stock market is setting records. The national murder rate 98 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 3: is that its lowest since nineteen hundred, zero border crossings 99 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 3: for nine months in a row, And as you can 100 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,719 Speaker 3: hear from the White House, there is is economic growth 101 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 3: out there. President Trump has signed a new proclamation to 102 00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 3: significantly raise imports of rgent Tenian beef. The move aims 103 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 3: to lower the record high price of hamburger meat for 104 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 3: American consumers, though the decision is facing fierce pushback from 105 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 3: domestic cattle ranchers who say the move will undercut the 106 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 3: US industry.

He is an investigative journalist for the 209 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:28,080 Speaker 3: Daily Caller News Foundation. Jason joins us live here on 210 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 3: the Scott Jennings Show. Jason, Welcome, Inky Scott, thanks so 211 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 3: much for having me. Let me make sure I have 212 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 3: this correct, Jason. There is a person in the United 213 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,680 Speaker 3: States with a green card for the last couple of 214 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 3: decades who has been arrested almost twenty times for indecent exposure, 215 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 3: including recently, which should be enough to kick this person out, 216 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 3: but it hasn't been so far. 217 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 2: Please tell us about what happened. 218 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 13: Yeah. 219 00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:01,319 Speaker 10: Absolutely, And this is just the latest example of how 220 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 10: criminal migrants are able to use the judicial system to 221 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:08,680 Speaker 10: their advantage. Basically, if you just if you're order deported 222 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:12,080 Speaker 10: and you just keep fighting it, keep contesting your order, 223 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,839 Speaker 10: you eventually will just avoid it and get to stay 224 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 10: in the country. I mean, this is the latest case. 225 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 10: This deals with a Cape Verdean national. That's this an 226 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 10: island country off the coast of Africa. 227 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 4: I've actually been. 228 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 10: Tracking this guy for the past two years. When he 229 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,200 Speaker 10: was first arrested by ice back in early twenty twenty four. 230 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,719 Speaker 10: But to really just kind of wrap the whole thing 231 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:37,320 Speaker 10: up succinctly here, he as an individual who did arrive 232 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:41,440 Speaker 10: here legally in two thousand and three, but since that 233 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:45,560 Speaker 10: time he has been, as you mentioned, arrested nearly twenty 234 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 10: times under gross open lewdness whatnot just all involving exposing 235 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 10: this genitals and public publicly masturbating in front of people 236 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 10: over and over and over again in Boston for the 237 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:02,719 Speaker 10: past twenty years. And then finally what happens here is 238 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 10: under immigration law, if you are convicted twice of what's 239 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 10: called a crime involving moral turpitude, you are deemed deportable. 240 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 10: And in this case he was so and considered an 241 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 10: illegal alien at the time, and he was finally arrested 242 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 10: by Ice, and he had been sitting in ice detention 243 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 10: for nearly the last two years. But as really most 244 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 10: of them do, he kept this guy, Lucio Tomar, just 245 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 10: kept contesting his deportation order. A judge ordered him deported, 246 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 10: he contested that, he appealed to the Board of Immigration Appeals. 247 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 10: They actually affirmed the judge's decision. He appealed it again, 248 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 10: and this time this went to the US Court of 249 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 10: appeals for the first Circuit, and strangely enough, three judges, 250 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 10: all of whom were actually appointed by President Biden, that's 251 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 10: a side notes, actually concluded that his actions were not 252 00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 10: a crime of moral turpitude. They used mental gymnastics there 253 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 10: to explain why. If that's something I can definitely get 254 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 10: into it. And he was openly let go. And Ice 255 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 10: is now confirmed with me that he's once again considered 256 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 10: a lawful permanent resident and he is back on the streets. 257 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 3: So let me understand something here. This person was exposing 258 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 3: himself over two decades, arrested nearly nineteen times. The Feds 259 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 3: had him in custody, you say, for two years, but 260 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 3: he kept working the legal system. And after all of that, 261 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 3: after all is said and done, this man with a 262 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 3: history of exposing himself and masturbating in front of women 263 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 3: in Boston, Massachusetts, has been set free by federal judges, 264 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 3: is free to Rome and it has a legal status 265 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 3: in our country. 266 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 10: Yes, he has been set free. Ice confirmed to me 267 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 10: that he was released DoD January twenty six and he 268 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 10: is out and abound, and he is once again considered 269 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 10: a lawful permanent resident. For those that are curious, what 270 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 10: went down here is the court, the US Court of 271 00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:04,479 Speaker 10: Appeals for the first Circuit. Here they concluded that in Massachusetts, 272 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 10: you can be arrested for opening gross lewdness for things 273 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 10: that aren't necessarily by that are sexual in nature. And 274 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 10: they kind of compare his actions to like mooning oncoming traffic, 275 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 10: maybe sunbathing and the nude and they said, well, if 276 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 10: you can get arrested for that, you really can't consider 277 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 10: this to be a crime involving alterpitude. And so that 278 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 10: was their argument. And he is free. And now you're 279 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 10: just wondering when he will be arrested again for the 280 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 10: same crime. Since this has happened nearly twenty times already. 281 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 2: Jason, we have about ten seconds. 282 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 3: Does the Department of Homeland Security plan to appeal this 283 00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 3: any further? 284 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 10: They do not. I confirmed with my I source that 285 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 10: they are no longer moving forward with deportation proceedings. 286 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 13: Now. 287 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 10: I will add to that though, that he could very 288 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 10: well just be arrested again, and will it be in Massachusetts, 289 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 10: could be somewhere else that could change it. And I'd 290 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 10: also want to add, before you'll let me go here, 291 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 10: his defense was paid for by the taxpayers through Massachusetts taxpayers, 292 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,360 Speaker 10: state agency, your. 293 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 3: Tax money paying to keep a migrant on the streets 294 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 3: with a long history of exposing himself to American citizens. 295 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 3: Jason Hopkins from The Daily Caller, thank you for weighing 296 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:20,479 Speaker 3: in today on yet another example of how hard it 297 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:24,199 Speaker 3: is to get aliens out of our country.

I assume you've seen the news about roadblocks, 356 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 3: for instance, predators invading that game, the company doing the 357 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 3: company doing very little. Now attorneys general are having to 358 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:57,120 Speaker 3: step in anyway. These companies profit from screen time and engagement, 359 00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 3: and when predators slip through the cracks, families pay the price. 360 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,920 Speaker 3: Child Help our friends and partners at child Help hear 361 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 3: from children every day who were contacted through games and apps, 362 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 3: Kids who were groomed, manipulated, or threatened by adults pretending 363 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 3: to be someone else. One boy reached out through child 364 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:21,639 Speaker 3: Help's chat hotline, terrified and ashamed he'd met an adult 365 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:25,239 Speaker 3: in an online game. That adult was demanding photos and 366 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 3: threatening to lie to his parents if he didn't comply. 367 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 3: Because child Help was there for that little boy, they 368 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 3: may well have saved his life.

This past week saw one of the most 376 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 3: closely watched legal battles over gender affirming medical care reach 377 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:13,960 Speaker 3: a dramatic verdict that is reverberating across medical, legal and 378 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 3: policy circles. In Westchester County, New York, a civil jury 379 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,920 Speaker 3: awarded two million dollars to a twenty two year old 380 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 3: woman who underwent a double mastectomy as a teenager while 381 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 3: identifying as transgender, but later detransitioned and then sued her providers, 382 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,359 Speaker 3: claiming they failed to follow accepted standards of care and 383 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 3: secure proper informed consent. The six figure verdict, believed to 384 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 3: be the first US detransitioner medical malpractice lawsuit to reach 385 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:49,719 Speaker 3: a jury, lays bare the intense debates over medical practices, consent, 386 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:54,920 Speaker 3: and accountability when it comes to these irreversible procedures on minors. 387 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,399 Speaker 3: Supporters of the rulings say it underscores the responsibility of 388 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:03,439 Speaker 3: doctors to adhere to rigorous evaluation and communications standards. To 389 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 3: help unpack what this verdict means for patients, providers, and 390 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 3: the future of gender related medical litigation, I am joined 391 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,679 Speaker 3: by Leor Sapir, a legal scholar and senior fellow at 392 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 3: the Manhattan Institute. Leor covers topics related to pediatric gender, medicine, education, policy, 393 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:22,879 Speaker 3: and culture. 394 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 2: Le Or Welcome into the Scott Jenning Show. 395 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 14: Thanks for having me, Scott, So I want to. 396 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,879 Speaker 3: Just get your reaction to the verdict in this lawsuit. 397 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 3: I assume you were tracking it closely. Were you surprised 398 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,359 Speaker 3: at the outcome? And I'd like for you to sort 399 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 3: of project into the future. I know there are many 400 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:44,119 Speaker 3: other possible lawsuits sitting in other courtrooms across America. Do 401 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,680 Speaker 3: you think we're going to see a number of outcomes 402 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:48,360 Speaker 3: like this in those courtrooms as well. 403 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 14: It's a good question, And first of all, I was 404 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,400 Speaker 14: not tracking this lawsuit because it was kept under wraps, 405 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,399 Speaker 14: so I learned about it with the rest of the 406 00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:02,119 Speaker 14: American people last week. Answer your question, I think the 407 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 14: impact of this lawsuit is complicated. 408 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 3: You know. 409 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,680 Speaker 14: On the one hand, the case did not directly raise 410 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 14: the question of whether the defendants, including a psychologist and 411 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 14: a plastic surgeon, departed from the current standard of care, 412 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:18,360 Speaker 14: which is dictated by an organization called the World Professional 413 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,960 Speaker 14: Association for Transgender Health. Nor did it raise the more 414 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 14: fundamental question of whether that standard of care is evidence 415 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:28,199 Speaker 14: based and trustworthy. So, you know, in that sense, I 416 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 14: think the lawsuit may have a limited impact. On the 417 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 14: other hand, though this is the first known jury verdict 418 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 14: in favor of a detransitioner, and when you look at 419 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 14: the details of the case, what you immediately see is 420 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 14: that both a psychologists and the surgeon were actually operating 421 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 14: very consistently with the accepted standard of care, the current 422 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,680 Speaker 14: gender affirming model of care as recommended by w PATH 423 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:53,399 Speaker 14: and other organizations. So, for example, you know, when Fox Varian, 424 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 14: the plaintiffs, said to her therapist at age sixteen that 425 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,879 Speaker 14: she wants to have her breasts amputated to achieve a 426 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 14: more masculine look. The therapist didn't think to ask her 427 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:04,920 Speaker 14: why she felt that way and to try to explore 428 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 14: the causes of her distress and her rejection of her 429 00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,639 Speaker 14: own body, which is a very normal experience for a 430 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,720 Speaker 14: teenage girl. But instead he just took for granted that 431 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 14: you know, she knows who she is and she knows 432 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 14: what she wants, and the first question that he asked 433 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:19,680 Speaker 14: her is okay. Well, the first thing he said to 434 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:21,720 Speaker 14: her was okay, let's figure out how we can help 435 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,160 Speaker 14: you get that procedure. And that is fully in line 436 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 14: with how clinicians nowadays gender clinicians explain the gender affirming 437 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:29,240 Speaker 14: model of care. 438 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 3: Leor you wrote a couple of months ago about how 439 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:36,639 Speaker 3: doctors have admitted to winging it when it comes to 440 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 3: gender medicine. 441 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 2: What do you mean by winging it? 442 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,240 Speaker 3: And what does it say to you that sometimes doctors 443 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,000 Speaker 3: are so flippant about this when it comes to what 444 00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 3: they've done to and recommended to these miners. 445 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 14: Yeah, So this was an article that I wrote for 446 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:54,480 Speaker 14: the Free Press based on videos from the annual conferences 447 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,680 Speaker 14: of WPATH, which is, you know, as I pointed out, 448 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 14: it's the leading organization promoting gender trends in both miners 449 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,720 Speaker 14: and adults, and it's the organization that has written the 450 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,360 Speaker 14: standard of care that is wide they adopted across US 451 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 14: healthcare settings. These videos were obtained through legal discovery in 452 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 14: a lawsuit in Alabama of internal communications at WPATH, and 453 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,240 Speaker 14: you know, WPATH fought tooth and nail to prevent Alabama 454 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,960 Speaker 14: from getting them and publishing them. But you know, there's 455 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,880 Speaker 14: a number of very disturbing revelations in those videos, which 456 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,119 Speaker 14: the viewers can read about in my Free Press article. 457 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,720 Speaker 14: One of them was a doctor admitting on camera that 458 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,560 Speaker 14: when it comes to providing hormonal treatments to young patients, 459 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,120 Speaker 14: this is how she put it, we're all just winging 460 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 14: it and her colleagues who were sitting on the panel 461 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 14: nodded in agreement. And this was you know, maybe not 462 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,439 Speaker 14: that surprising to those of us who follow this area, 463 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:47,080 Speaker 14: but this confession was made in a conference in which 464 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,199 Speaker 14: they thought they were only talking to their colleagues. They 465 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,439 Speaker 14: did not realize that, you know, the wider public and 466 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 14: the wider medical community would one day have access to 467 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,879 Speaker 14: these videos. So, you know, this is a pretty common 468 00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:00,360 Speaker 14: pattern Scott that gender clinicians say one thing private when 469 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:04,159 Speaker 14: talking to colleagues and another thing publicly when speaking at 470 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:08,160 Speaker 14: you know, in legislative hearings or you know, TV shows. 471 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 3: Give us an idea of how you view the current 472 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 3: policy environment for these sorts of procedures on miners. Obviously, 473 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 3: we recently saw an announcement from RFK Junior, the Secretary 474 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 3: of HHS, about not providing funding to hospitals for this. 475 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,960 Speaker 3: You've seen some states cracked down on this. You've seen 476 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,560 Speaker 3: other areas, mostly run by Democrats, that are trying to 477 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 3: keep it alive. Give me your I mean, you track 478 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 3: it sort of macro nationally. Give me your overview of 479 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:39,560 Speaker 3: the policy environment. Do you believe we have sort of 480 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:41,439 Speaker 3: gone over the top of the hill here where this 481 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,520 Speaker 3: is ultimately going to be phased out, or do you 482 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,360 Speaker 3: think we're going to continue to see pockets of places 483 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,000 Speaker 3: in the United States where miners are in fact going 484 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,640 Speaker 3: to be mutilated for lack of a better. 485 00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:56,200 Speaker 14: Term, Yeah, I mean the way I see it is that, 486 00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:58,919 Speaker 14: you know, we've definitely turned a corner. There have been 487 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,399 Speaker 14: a number of very important events in recent years, including 488 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:06,879 Speaker 14: the publication of the cast Review in the United Kingdom, lawsuits, 489 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:10,120 Speaker 14: the Supreme Court weighing in and saying that imposing age 490 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:14,840 Speaker 14: minimums does not violate constitutional rights. So there have been 491 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:18,160 Speaker 14: a number of very landmark events in recent years that 492 00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 14: I think, you know, strengthened the conviction that these procedures 493 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,280 Speaker 14: are eventually going to be on their way out. But 494 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,800 Speaker 14: there's a long, I think, a long fight within the 495 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:31,720 Speaker 14: medical community ahead of us, and I think we're just 496 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:35,160 Speaker 14: starting to see the first the first manifestations of that. 497 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 13: As you know. 498 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,520 Speaker 14: Last week, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, which is 499 00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 14: the largest medical group representing surgeons in the United States, 500 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:46,440 Speaker 14: came out with a statement, a very carefully crafted statement 501 00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 14: that cited extensive literature and referenced basic principles of bioethics, 502 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,720 Speaker 14: and they basically said what you know, health authorities in 503 00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:58,760 Speaker 14: a number of European countries, very progressive European countries, have said, 504 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,480 Speaker 14: which is, there's no good evidence to support these procedures. 505 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:03,480 Speaker 14: By the way, it's not just surgeries that they were 506 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,240 Speaker 14: talking about. They were also talking about puberty blockers and 507 00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 14: cross sex hormones. I think importantly, the ASPS also said 508 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 14: that the principle of autonomy cannot justify these procedures because 509 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 14: autonomy simply means that patients have the right to refuse 510 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 14: treatments that are appropriately offered to them. They don't have 511 00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 14: a right to demand treatments that are inappropriate, meaning not 512 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 14: based on good evidence. So I think you're starting to 513 00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:28,719 Speaker 14: see more than a crack or two in the dam 514 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:32,160 Speaker 14: that has been holding back reform in this area. And 515 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 14: I think that's a very positive thing. 516 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 3: You know, something about the case in New York that 517 00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 3: has stuck with me. I interviewed a reporter last week 518 00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:42,440 Speaker 3: who had been tracking the case and had looked at 519 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 3: all the transcripts and evidence from the case, and one 520 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,560 Speaker 3: of the things that came out in the trial leor 521 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 3: is that the girl's mother had said she opposed the 522 00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 3: surgery initially, but had been told by the psychologist in 523 00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:03,239 Speaker 3: the case that if she didn't ultimately consent that her 524 00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:05,840 Speaker 3: daughter would kill herself, and so she felt like she 525 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:09,240 Speaker 3: had no choice but to consent to something that she 526 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:13,320 Speaker 3: strongly opposed. I have thought about that all weekend long 527 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 3: as I reflected on my interview with that journalist, it 528 00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:19,400 Speaker 3: just made me wonder what kind of conversations like that 529 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,800 Speaker 3: are going on out there between doctors and parents who, 530 00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:24,720 Speaker 3: on the one hand, are hearing things from their kids 531 00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:27,640 Speaker 3: that they probably instinctively know they should resist. But then 532 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 3: on the other hand, you've got a doctor telling you 533 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:33,360 Speaker 3: something as stark as if you make decision A, it 534 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,640 Speaker 3: will lead to a suicide. In your work in research, 535 00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,880 Speaker 3: do you believe that these kinds of conversations where you 536 00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:43,040 Speaker 3: effectively have doctors pressuring parents fairly common? 537 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 14: It is common, unfortunately, and I would refer viewers who 538 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:52,760 Speaker 14: are interested in understanding the science of this question to 539 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:56,720 Speaker 14: the Department of Health and Human Services Report Treatment for 540 00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 14: Pediatric Gender Dysphoria that was published in its final peer 541 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,440 Speaker 14: reviewed version in November and full disclosure, I was one 542 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,560 Speaker 14: of the co authors of that report, but the bottom 543 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,680 Speaker 14: line is, you know, the suicide narrative that you just 544 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,720 Speaker 14: presented has become very common in this field. We have many, 545 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:15,440 Speaker 14: many examples of it, and it's not only not based 546 00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:20,360 Speaker 14: on any evidence, it's actually dangerous Scott, because suicide is 547 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 14: a socially contagious behavior. And when medical authorities falsely tell 548 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 14: young people, vulnerable young people with numerous mental health comorbidities 549 00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,800 Speaker 14: that the natural expectation or the natural outcome of them 550 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:36,280 Speaker 14: not receiving life altering drugs and surgeries is that they're 551 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,800 Speaker 14: going to kill themselves, it can very easily become a 552 00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:42,240 Speaker 14: self fulfilling prophecy. What we know from the research is 553 00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:46,800 Speaker 14: that suicide is slightly elevated among kids who have gender 554 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:50,560 Speaker 14: dysphoria relative to kids who do not, but the risk 555 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,440 Speaker 14: of suicide is still very very low. In fact, the 556 00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 14: ACLU itself admitted it in the oral arguments before the 557 00:31:56,600 --> 00:32:02,000 Speaker 14: Supreme Court. So suicide remains a very rare fortunately, and 558 00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:05,880 Speaker 14: what explains the elevated risk of both suicide and suicidal 559 00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:10,040 Speaker 14: ideation meaning thoughts of suicide or plans for suicide, are 560 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:14,040 Speaker 14: the mental health the coexisting mental health challenges that are 561 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:18,960 Speaker 14: very common among these distressed adolescents. Anxiety depression autism is 562 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:22,360 Speaker 14: very common. ADHD is very common, and so the only 563 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:26,120 Speaker 14: study that actually tried to parse out whether the gender 564 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:31,360 Speaker 14: issues themselves are causing elevated risk or these other comorbid 565 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,520 Speaker 14: issues found that it was the co morbid issues that 566 00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:35,560 Speaker 14: were responsible. 567 00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:40,000 Speaker 3: Lee or Supeir, a legal scholar and senior fellow at 568 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,080 Speaker 3: the Manhattan Institute, Thanks for your insights today on this 569 00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,120 Speaker 3: important topic. We'll take a break, and when we come 570 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:48,640 Speaker 3: back uncovering massive medicaid fraud in Oregon, we'll have a 571 00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:49,200 Speaker 3: live report. 572 00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:53,640 Speaker 2: Stay with us. The hostages are back. The hostages are back. 573 00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:57,640 Speaker 15: Thanks to President Trump. Every single hostage is now free 574 00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:02,360 Speaker 15: from Hamas, Israeli's America pens, all of them. President Trump 575 00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,960 Speaker 15: stood firm with our ally and never gave an inch 576 00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:08,360 Speaker 15: to terrorists. Now we look ahead to a future of 577 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,720 Speaker 15: peace that means a disarmed to Moss, unable to terrorize 578 00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:16,440 Speaker 15: its own people or its neighbors ever again. Peace through strength. 579 00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 15: Thank you, President Trump. 580 00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:19,560 Speaker 14: Paid for by APAK. 581 00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:25,000 Speaker 3: Monday, February ninth, Scott Jennings here on Salem common sense 582 00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:29,400 Speaker 3: for the American people. Hoping to get my friend Mark 583 00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:34,160 Speaker 3: Hemingway on the phone. Oh do we have Mark, We 584 00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:37,240 Speaker 3: do fantastic. I want to tell you about a story 585 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,880 Speaker 3: in Portland, Oregon. Let me just go down the list 586 00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:45,480 Speaker 3: of things that you'll hear trend Day a Ragua kidnapping 587 00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:50,080 Speaker 3: a woman, human trafficking, trend Day Aragua running a fake 588 00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:54,440 Speaker 3: addiction recovery center which is actually a drug den that 589 00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:59,320 Speaker 3: turned out to be a Medicaid scam, and money going overseas. 590 00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:02,520 Speaker 3: It sounds crazy, but it's all true. Mark Hemingway from 591 00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,640 Speaker 3: Real Clear Investigations is here. Mark, thanks for joining us 592 00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:09,359 Speaker 3: on the Scott Jennings Show. What in the world is 593 00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:11,240 Speaker 3: going on in Portland, Oregon? 594 00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:15,319 Speaker 4: Well, that story you just mentioned is pretty staggering. 595 00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:15,960 Speaker 8: You know. 596 00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:19,160 Speaker 4: Obviously we've been hearing about Medicaid fraud and Minneapolis and 597 00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:21,280 Speaker 4: other cities. But in this case, we had a situation 598 00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:24,440 Speaker 4: here where a member of trend to Agua, along with 599 00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:27,720 Speaker 4: someone else who's still at large by the way, kidnapped 600 00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,000 Speaker 4: a woman and put a power drill through her hand 601 00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:33,359 Speaker 4: to get her to give up her financial information. They 602 00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:35,880 Speaker 4: robbed her, they shot her, they left her on the 603 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,160 Speaker 4: side of a road in rural Washington State, but somehow 604 00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:41,279 Speaker 4: the woman survived. The cops identified that the trend to 605 00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:43,840 Speaker 4: Agua member that did this, and they traced him to 606 00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:47,399 Speaker 4: a house in the suburbs of Portland. This house had 607 00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:50,759 Speaker 4: a litany of police complaints about you know, parties and 608 00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:54,359 Speaker 4: drugs and underage women. And it turned out this same 609 00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:58,759 Speaker 4: address was also being listed as part of a medicaid 610 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:05,520 Speaker 4: recovery center called Uplifting Journey that had multiple properties around 611 00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:11,120 Speaker 4: the city. And this Uplifting Journey organization in Portland was 612 00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:14,040 Speaker 4: tied in with a couple of men down in Arizona 613 00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,760 Speaker 4: who'd been indicted for sixty million dollars in medicare fraud 614 00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:21,960 Speaker 4: down there, and they were laundering all that money through Rwanda, 615 00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:24,480 Speaker 4: and they might be tied into other medicaid fraud elsewhere. 616 00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:28,360 Speaker 4: But that's just, you know, one one sign of Portland 617 00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:29,160 Speaker 4: organ's dysfunction. 618 00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:30,560 Speaker 2: Mark. 619 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:32,640 Speaker 3: I was reading your story and took note that you're 620 00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:36,280 Speaker 3: a third generation Oregonian who has lived in Portland. People 621 00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:38,400 Speaker 3: used to think of this city as being cool and 622 00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:41,360 Speaker 3: fun and hip and so on and so forth. What 623 00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:44,720 Speaker 3: happened to Portland? Because it just sounds frankly awful. 624 00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:48,640 Speaker 4: Now, well, it's really remarkable. I mean, right now, Portland, 625 00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:51,040 Speaker 4: Oregon has the second highest crime rate of any city 626 00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:55,680 Speaker 4: in America after Memphis, Tennessee, Portland, Oregon, you know, and 627 00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:58,279 Speaker 4: it did not used to be like this at all. 628 00:35:58,360 --> 00:35:59,960 Speaker 4: I mean, my mother was raised in Portland and I 629 00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:01,960 Speaker 4: in fifties. I mean, it was like the ideal you know, 630 00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:05,160 Speaker 4: American middle class city. But really, what has happened here is, 631 00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:08,480 Speaker 4: you know, literally just a couple of decades of progressive governance, 632 00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:12,600 Speaker 4: the Portland you know, quickly acquired a reputation from being 633 00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:15,920 Speaker 4: soft on crime. In twenty twenty, the big thing was 634 00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:20,520 Speaker 4: there was a statewide initiative that legalized uh well, not legalized, 635 00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:23,360 Speaker 4: They decriminalized hard drugs in the state. So if you 636 00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:27,080 Speaker 4: were literally caught smoking fendylar injecting heroin in public, they 637 00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:29,440 Speaker 4: would give you what was the equivalent of a traffic ticket. 638 00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:32,160 Speaker 4: They couldn't even arrest you. And that stayed on the 639 00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:35,080 Speaker 4: books for years, and it attracted you know, crazy homeless vagrants, 640 00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:37,879 Speaker 4: you know, from all over the country. You know, they 641 00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:41,120 Speaker 4: call it, you know, drug tourism. And they eventually repealed it. 642 00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,160 Speaker 4: That for a few years, but you know, the city 643 00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:46,919 Speaker 4: was already declining. But this, you know, for into drug 644 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:50,480 Speaker 4: legalization and other things just made things, you know, horrendous. 645 00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:54,200 Speaker 4: And you combine that with again the soft on crime situation. 646 00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:56,279 Speaker 4: I mentioned in the piece that there was a story 647 00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:59,560 Speaker 4: about one woman who was arrested nine times for car 648 00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:02,240 Speaker 4: theft the same year and didn't spend a day in jail. 649 00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:06,400 Speaker 4: I mean, like it's just the the progressives in Portland 650 00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:09,640 Speaker 4: organ in similar cities, there's just four square against any 651 00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,080 Speaker 4: sort of public order. There's no way, no other way 652 00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:12,640 Speaker 4: to describe it. 653 00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:15,520 Speaker 2: Mark, is this a cautionary tale? 654 00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:19,480 Speaker 3: We see Democrat governors and mayors and other cities trying 655 00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:23,560 Speaker 3: to move toward this complete soft on crime agenda, letting 656 00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:27,120 Speaker 3: violent people out of jail over and over again, permissive 657 00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:30,960 Speaker 3: drug culture. Is this is this their future if they 658 00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:32,919 Speaker 3: don't get off that trail now? 659 00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:36,759 Speaker 4: Oh well absolutely. I mean what's interesting about Portland and 660 00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:38,840 Speaker 4: Seattle as well, is you know, both of these cities 661 00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,640 Speaker 4: are basket cases. But unlike a lot of other cities 662 00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,160 Speaker 4: that are struggling right now, I mean, these are both 663 00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:47,720 Speaker 4: cities that were barely cities one hundred years ago. You know, Portland, 664 00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:50,319 Speaker 4: Oregon is the widest major city in America, so it 665 00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:53,680 Speaker 4: has no like civil rights legacy of oppression or anything 666 00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:56,439 Speaker 4: like that. You know, this is you look at what's 667 00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:58,399 Speaker 4: gone on in Portland, organ and you look at how 668 00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:00,960 Speaker 4: this happened in such a short amount of time. You know, 669 00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:04,760 Speaker 4: twenty years ago it was a relatively safe, prosperous city 670 00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:07,960 Speaker 4: and now it's you know, a complete, you know, basket case. 671 00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:09,480 Speaker 4: You know, not only it is the crime through the 672 00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:12,880 Speaker 4: roof is the highest commercial real estate vacancy rate of 673 00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:15,120 Speaker 4: any city in America. Absolutely no one wants to open 674 00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:19,040 Speaker 4: up a business downtown. The largest office in downtown, the 675 00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:22,040 Speaker 4: largest officiability of downtown Portland sold for five hundred and 676 00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:24,640 Speaker 4: fifty million dollars in twenty fifteen. Last year it sold 677 00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:29,200 Speaker 4: for forty five million. I mean it's it's literally one 678 00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:31,160 Speaker 4: city is dragging the entire state down. 679 00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:35,239 Speaker 3: Mark Hemmingway with real clear investigations. Look at his deep 680 00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:38,320 Speaker 3: dive on Portland, eye popping details. Our number ones in 681 00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:41,400 Speaker 3: the books, our number two after this. It's Scott on Salem. 682 00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:45,640 Speaker 3: It is Monday, February ninth, common sense for the American people. 683 00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:48,719 Speaker 2: Scott Jennings here on Salem. Thank you for joining us. 684 00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:53,239 Speaker 3: If you've been paying attention to the Olympics, and I 685 00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:59,120 Speaker 3: have been thanks to official Scott Jennings Show curling correspondent 686 00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:03,280 Speaker 3: Ian who is sitting mere feet away from me? He says, 687 00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:07,760 Speaker 3: Team USA is moving on to the gold medal match 688 00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:10,240 Speaker 3: in curling. Ian, who did we defeat Italy? 689 00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:10,720 Speaker 14: Italy? 690 00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:14,320 Speaker 2: We have defeated Italy, and now who do we play? Sweden? 691 00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:17,759 Speaker 2: The United States will take on Sweden for the gold. 692 00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:20,640 Speaker 3: Of all the Winter Olympic sports, this appears to be 693 00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:24,439 Speaker 3: the one that I would have the most chance of 694 00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:31,720 Speaker 3: possibly approaching competing in. If you know, the radio political 695 00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:35,279 Speaker 3: punditry business doesn't work out, So we'll keep that in 696 00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:38,920 Speaker 3: the back of our minds. How how Ian, how are 697 00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:41,440 Speaker 3: we doing on the Olympics? Otherwise are we winning any medal? 698 00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:46,479 Speaker 3: We won what's her name? Breezy two gold medals? Ian says, 699 00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:51,279 Speaker 3: And even though Lindsay Vaughn suffered a terrible crash, which 700 00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:54,840 Speaker 3: by the way, I have to say, Lindsay with the 701 00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:57,840 Speaker 3: torn acl look, I don't know if it had anything 702 00:39:57,840 --> 00:39:59,720 Speaker 3: to do with the crash or not. It just seemed 703 00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:01,640 Speaker 3: a little predictable that that wasn't going to work out. 704 00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:04,000 Speaker 3: But then we had Breezy win the gold in the 705 00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:05,200 Speaker 3: same event, so that was good. 706 00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:06,479 Speaker 2: I don't know. 707 00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:12,200 Speaker 3: Kaylee, what fit figure skating? We took the gold in 708 00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:13,600 Speaker 3: the figure skating team event? 709 00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:16,440 Speaker 2: No kidding? How about that? 710 00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:20,120 Speaker 3: Look at that all your Olympic coverage here on the 711 00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:22,879 Speaker 3: Scott Jennings Show. All right, let's get thank you both, 712 00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:26,000 Speaker 3: Let's get back to politics. I want to talk about 713 00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:30,520 Speaker 3: something today that should not be controversial in a healthy democracy, 714 00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:33,960 Speaker 3: and that is who gets to vote in American elections. 715 00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:39,279 Speaker 3: Republicans in Congress are pushing legislation called the Save America Act. 716 00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:43,040 Speaker 3: Remember that name, save because that's exactly what it does. 717 00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:48,080 Speaker 3: It's safeguards American voting eligibility by requiring voter ID and 718 00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:51,160 Speaker 3: proof of citizenship to register in federal elections. 719 00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:52,080 Speaker 2: That's it. 720 00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:56,640 Speaker 3: There's no tricks here, no suppression, just verification. And for 721 00:40:56,760 --> 00:41:03,480 Speaker 3: supporting this common sense idea, Democrats are completely melting down. 722 00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:06,920 Speaker 3: Let's listen to Hakeem Jeffries, the Democratic leader in the 723 00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:12,080 Speaker 3: US House, absolutely malfunction over the weekend on CNN. Here's 724 00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:12,720 Speaker 3: cut six. 725 00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:16,080 Speaker 16: A Pew poll from a few months ago showed eighty 726 00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:20,040 Speaker 16: three percent of Americans, including seventy one percent of your 727 00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:24,680 Speaker 16: fellow Democrats, support requiring an ID to vote. Why are 728 00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:25,160 Speaker 16: they wrong? 729 00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:30,080 Speaker 12: I haven't said that they're wrong. 730 00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:33,480 Speaker 17: What Republicans are trying to do is to engage in 731 00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:35,440 Speaker 17: clear and blatant voter suppression. 732 00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:37,840 Speaker 13: They know that if there's a free and fair election 733 00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:39,799 Speaker 13: in November, they're going to lose. 734 00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:45,600 Speaker 3: More talking points false talking points from the Democrats. You've 735 00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:49,720 Speaker 3: also heard Chuck Schumer repeatedly called voter ID Jim Crow 736 00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:53,440 Speaker 3: two point zero, even though three quarters of black voters 737 00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:55,919 Speaker 3: think you should show an ID to Vote's right there 738 00:41:55,920 --> 00:42:00,680 Speaker 3: in the polling House. Democrat Jamie Raskin says married women 739 00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:03,640 Speaker 3: are too stupid to figure out how to vote once 740 00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:04,440 Speaker 3: they get hitched. 741 00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:08,040 Speaker 2: That's actually what he believes. Take a listen to Cut five. 742 00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:11,160 Speaker 13: What's wrong with the Say Act. What's wrong with it 743 00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:14,359 Speaker 13: is that it might violate the Nineteenth Amendment, which gives 744 00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:17,320 Speaker 13: women the right to vote. Because you've got to show 745 00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:20,839 Speaker 13: that all of your different ideas match. So if you're 746 00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:23,560 Speaker 13: a woman who's gotten married and you've changed your name 747 00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:28,879 Speaker 13: to your husband's name, but so now your current name 748 00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:32,480 Speaker 13: is different from your name at Perth, now you've got 749 00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:34,680 Speaker 13: to go ahead and document. 750 00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:39,680 Speaker 3: That married women of America understand something that Jamie Raskin 751 00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:42,920 Speaker 3: and the rest of the Democratic Party literally think you 752 00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:46,840 Speaker 3: are too stupid to figure out how to vote because 753 00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:50,680 Speaker 3: you got married. That is how little the supposed party 754 00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:55,280 Speaker 3: of women thinks of you. Here's California Senator Adam Schiff 755 00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:58,759 Speaker 3: can't do anything other than just repeat the same old 756 00:42:58,760 --> 00:42:59,440 Speaker 3: talking points. 757 00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:00,200 Speaker 2: Here's cut three. 758 00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:05,000 Speaker 17: Seventy one percent of Democrats favor. 759 00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:07,720 Speaker 2: Requiring photo ideas. 760 00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:12,360 Speaker 17: That something that you can support. And if not, wine, 761 00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:15,200 Speaker 17: it's still going to be something, Jonathan, it's still going 762 00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:17,680 Speaker 17: to be something that disenfranchises people that don't have the 763 00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:22,440 Speaker 17: proper real ID driver's license ID, that don't have the 764 00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:25,680 Speaker 17: ID necessary to vote even though they are citizens. 765 00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:30,960 Speaker 3: None of them will answer the simplest question imaginable, should 766 00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:35,719 Speaker 3: only US citizens vote in US elections? Because once you 767 00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:40,400 Speaker 3: say yes, their argument collapses. Here's the reality that Democrats 768 00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:44,080 Speaker 3: don't want to admit. Voter ID is overwhelmingly popular with 769 00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:49,200 Speaker 3: the American people, Republicans, Independents, Democrats, black voters, Hispanic voters, 770 00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:53,160 Speaker 3: white voters, men, women, everybody. 771 00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:53,239 Speaker 2: Is for it. 772 00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:58,799 Speaker 3: Eighty three percent of Americans want voter ID. So when 773 00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:02,839 Speaker 3: Democrats say voter ID is Jim Crow two point zero, 774 00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:07,319 Speaker 3: they're going against another eighty twenty issue in America and 775 00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:13,920 Speaker 3: they're going against African American voters, They're going against Hispanic voters, 776 00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:16,240 Speaker 3: and they're essentially arguing that most. 777 00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:19,440 Speaker 2: Americans are racist. It's really sort of offensive, if you 778 00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:19,840 Speaker 2: ask me. 779 00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:24,840 Speaker 3: Dishonest and elitist Jim Crow was about excluding people because 780 00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:30,680 Speaker 3: of race. Voter ID is about including only eligible voters. 781 00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:32,720 Speaker 3: Why do we need. 782 00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:35,160 Speaker 2: The Save Act? This is not a hypothetical question. 783 00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:42,680 Speaker 3: In Alabama, state officials recently discovered thousands of illegal aliens 784 00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:48,640 Speaker 3: who had somehow registered to vote. Thousands of illegal aliens 785 00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:52,240 Speaker 3: on the voter rolls. Take a listen to this news 786 00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:54,000 Speaker 3: story cut fifteen. 787 00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:58,200 Speaker 18: Three thousand registered voters in Alabama just got booted from 788 00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:01,399 Speaker 18: the state voter rolls after the Secretary of State Wes 789 00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:05,440 Speaker 18: Allen ordered the removal of all non citizens who were registered. 790 00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:08,600 Speaker 18: But how did non citizens get registered in the first place? 791 00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:11,759 Speaker 18: So wuaffour E's Nick Balander spoke to the Secretary of 792 00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:13,440 Speaker 18: State to get to the bottom of this story. 793 00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:15,200 Speaker 2: Nick, Yeah, Margot. 794 00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:18,040 Speaker 12: When I asked Secretary Allen how these people got registered 795 00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:20,080 Speaker 12: to vote in the first place, he couldn't give me 796 00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:23,280 Speaker 12: a clear answer just yet, saying it was still being investigated. 797 00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:25,319 Speaker 12: But when he gave me a breakdown of how many 798 00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:26,680 Speaker 12: there were in each county. 799 00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:27,880 Speaker 2: The numbers were glaring. 800 00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:31,400 Speaker 12: This is a list from Secretary of State Wes Allen 801 00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:33,920 Speaker 12: of how many non citizens were registered to vote in 802 00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:37,080 Speaker 12: our counties. The state found three two hundred and fifty 803 00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:39,440 Speaker 12: one people. Seven hundred and forty two of them were 804 00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:40,520 Speaker 12: from North Alabama. 805 00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:43,239 Speaker 19: We got the information, we cross checked it against our 806 00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:47,040 Speaker 19: centralized data filing in the state of Alabama and found 807 00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:48,680 Speaker 19: those thirty two hundred individuals. 808 00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:52,440 Speaker 12: The information he's talking about are people with alien registration numbers. 809 00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:54,680 Speaker 12: Those are issued to immigrants who intend to live in 810 00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:58,320 Speaker 12: this country permanently and have already applied for a Green Corps. However, 811 00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:01,840 Speaker 12: you're not eligible to vote with just an alien identification number. 812 00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:04,560 Speaker 12: When I asked Alan how three thousand plus were able 813 00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:06,799 Speaker 12: to register in the first place, he couldn't give me 814 00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:07,320 Speaker 12: the answer. 815 00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:09,960 Speaker 19: But it's our belief that only American citizens should be 816 00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:14,520 Speaker 19: allowed to vote. Non citizens, whether they're legal or illegal, immigrants, 817 00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:18,040 Speaker 19: cannot register to vote. It's a federal offense to vote here. 818 00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:22,239 Speaker 3: Now, Democrats would respond and say, well, just because they 819 00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:23,920 Speaker 3: were registered doesn't mean they voted. 820 00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:25,640 Speaker 2: But here's the point. 821 00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:29,880 Speaker 3: If thousands of ineligible people are registered to vote. 822 00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:32,880 Speaker 2: Doesn't that tell you that the system is broken? 823 00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:37,600 Speaker 3: The Save America Acts as Verify Citizenship, require ID to vote, 824 00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:42,040 Speaker 3: clean up the voter rolls, and prevent problems before elections, 825 00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:47,400 Speaker 3: not after. That's not voter suppression. That's basic system maintenance. 826 00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:50,200 Speaker 3: Now let's talk a little about hypocrisy, because this is 827 00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:55,080 Speaker 3: where Democrats completely give themselves away. Let's meet Senator John 828 00:46:55,200 --> 00:47:01,120 Speaker 3: Ossoff of Georgia. John Ossoff, like most Democrats, oppose voter ID. 829 00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:06,440 Speaker 3: He opposes the Save America Act. He says ID requirements 830 00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:08,240 Speaker 3: are discriminatory. 831 00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:09,560 Speaker 2: But at his. 832 00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:14,759 Speaker 3: Own campaign events, new reporting has revealed John Ossof requires 833 00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:18,600 Speaker 3: government issued photo ID to get inside. 834 00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:20,399 Speaker 2: Let that sink in. 835 00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:25,600 Speaker 3: You need ID to hear John Ossoff speak, But John 836 00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:29,520 Speaker 3: Ossof says you don't need ID to show up and vote. 837 00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:33,560 Speaker 3: If ID is good enough to protect John Osof's campaign events, 838 00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:38,960 Speaker 3: isn't it good enough to protect American elections? This tells 839 00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:42,080 Speaker 3: you everything, folks. This isn't about racism or suppression or 840 00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:46,239 Speaker 3: anything else. It's about power. Democrats don't oppose voter ID 841 00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:49,799 Speaker 3: because it's unfair. They oppose it because it threatens an 842 00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:58,279 Speaker 3: electoral advantage built on chaos, confusion, and sloppy systems. Save 843 00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:02,319 Speaker 3: America Act should pass to It's common sense and the 844 00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:05,360 Speaker 3: American people know it. This is Scott Jennings on Salem. 845 00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:08,719 Speaker 3: When we come back some troubling, violent comments by Democrats 846 00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:09,600 Speaker 3: made over the weekend. 847 00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:11,920 Speaker 2: Don't miss this. Stay with us. 848 00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:16,600 Speaker 1: Ready for more common sense here CNN senior political commentator, 849 00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:22,800 Speaker 1: New York Times best selling author at America's favorite political pundit, Scott. 850 00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:27,880 Speaker 3: Jennings is Monday, February ninth, common sense for the American people. 851 00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:29,720 Speaker 2: A little bit of breaking news into the show. 852 00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:33,880 Speaker 3: The United States said in an advisory on Monday This 853 00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:39,000 Speaker 3: is the US Department of Transportation that American flagged ships 854 00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:42,879 Speaker 3: should be careful going through the Strait of Hormuz and 855 00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:47,080 Speaker 3: stay as far away from Iranian territory as possible. This 856 00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:52,680 Speaker 3: advisory comes after Iranian naval forces reportedly harassed a US 857 00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:56,560 Speaker 3: flagged vessel last week. The Strait of Hormuz, of course, 858 00:48:56,680 --> 00:49:00,400 Speaker 3: is a major route for shipping in the Middle The 859 00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:04,480 Speaker 3: Department of Transportation is worried about Iranian forces trying to 860 00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:08,360 Speaker 3: board US vessels, and we're still waiting to see what 861 00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:12,960 Speaker 3: will come of the diplomatic chats that are happening, the 862 00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:17,040 Speaker 3: mediated chats between the United States and Iran. The United 863 00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:20,600 Speaker 3: States has a huge military build up in the region. 864 00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:24,040 Speaker 3: Scott Jennings is here on Salem. Wanted to share a 865 00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:26,880 Speaker 3: couple of clips with you today. It's rather bad news 866 00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:30,440 Speaker 3: because I actually think these comments that I'm going to 867 00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:33,960 Speaker 3: share with you should raise up the hair on the 868 00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:34,640 Speaker 3: back of your neck. 869 00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:35,880 Speaker 2: Let me start in Texas. 870 00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:40,560 Speaker 3: The Democrats in Texas, by the way, whether they are 871 00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:44,240 Speaker 3: running for the Senate there or occupying seats of leadership 872 00:49:44,239 --> 00:49:49,440 Speaker 3: in the state House, are particularly awful. And I'm going 873 00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:51,080 Speaker 3: to play a clip for you and you tell me. 874 00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:55,160 Speaker 3: When I heard it, I thought, this man is trying 875 00:49:55,160 --> 00:50:00,279 Speaker 3: to incite violence against a huge number of Americans. Man 876 00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:04,080 Speaker 3: is named Jean Wu. He is the minority leader of 877 00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:06,600 Speaker 3: the Texas House of Representatives. So he is an elected 878 00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:09,560 Speaker 3: official who has risen up to a position of leadership 879 00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:13,120 Speaker 3: and his party, and he decided to talk this weekend 880 00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:17,279 Speaker 3: about how everyone who isn't white in America should join 881 00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:19,920 Speaker 3: together and overthrow the country. 882 00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:20,759 Speaker 2: Here's cut two. 883 00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:25,640 Speaker 20: I always tell people the day the Latino, African, American, 884 00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:30,920 Speaker 20: Asian and other communities realize that they are, that they 885 00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:33,800 Speaker 20: share the same oppressor. Is the day we start winning 886 00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:37,120 Speaker 20: because we are the majority in this country. Now are 887 00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:40,279 Speaker 20: we have the ability to take over this country and 888 00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:43,000 Speaker 20: to do what is needed for everyone and to make 889 00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:46,760 Speaker 20: things fair. But the thumb is our communities are divided. 890 00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:48,000 Speaker 1: They're completely divided. 891 00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:54,120 Speaker 3: Listen to the language that Jen Wu uses, the language 892 00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:57,520 Speaker 3: of oppressor and oppressed. That is the modern liberal thinking. 893 00:50:57,560 --> 00:51:01,160 Speaker 3: By the way, if you are you can only be 894 00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:03,520 Speaker 3: in one of two groups. You're either oppressed or you're 895 00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:08,839 Speaker 3: the oppressor. And injen Wu elected Democrat leader. In his worldview, 896 00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:16,440 Speaker 3: all white people are oppressors and therefore must be overthrown somehow. Now, interestingly, 897 00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:20,120 Speaker 3: Wu's parents fled Communist China when he was just four 898 00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:23,719 Speaker 3: years old under the threats of MAO and the Communists. 899 00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:25,439 Speaker 2: His parents found. 900 00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:31,520 Speaker 3: A better life where in America. Let's now listen to 901 00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:35,759 Speaker 3: Bakari Seller's former state representative from South Carolina, someone that 902 00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:39,720 Speaker 3: I know because we work together on CNN. He appeared 903 00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:44,280 Speaker 3: on a talk show and said some unfortunate things about 904 00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:49,160 Speaker 3: quote fumigating MAGA out of America. Let's listen to cut 905 00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:50,680 Speaker 3: number one. 906 00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:53,200 Speaker 8: You know, Joe Biden was somewhat of a bridge. 907 00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:55,080 Speaker 9: He was supposed to be a bridge. 908 00:51:54,760 --> 00:52:00,319 Speaker 8: Or palette cleanser, or somebody who morally and ethle was 909 00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:03,680 Speaker 8: antithetical to who Donald Trump was. You know, Uncle Joe 910 00:52:03,960 --> 00:52:07,600 Speaker 8: was the nice guy, older white guy comes in and 911 00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:09,520 Speaker 8: you want to eat ice cream with him? 912 00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:09,839 Speaker 6: Right? 913 00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:14,640 Speaker 8: Well, I think what that episode in our country's history 914 00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:17,520 Speaker 8: showed us is that we really need some fumigation. Right, 915 00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:20,960 Speaker 8: we need an exorcism, for lack of a better term, 916 00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:23,960 Speaker 8: we need a more aggressive approach to go in and 917 00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:27,160 Speaker 8: surgically remove the cancer. That is the Donald Trump and 918 00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:28,200 Speaker 8: Maga movement. 919 00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:37,000 Speaker 3: Fumigation, exorcism, removing the cancer. Let's just deal with the 920 00:52:37,040 --> 00:52:40,880 Speaker 3: fumigation comment for a moment. I'm sure more than a 921 00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:44,719 Speaker 3: handful of our Jewish brothers and sisters would raise an 922 00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:49,200 Speaker 3: eyebrow at that the idea that exorcism would be required 923 00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:52,880 Speaker 3: to change the hearts and minds of seventy seven million 924 00:52:52,920 --> 00:52:58,840 Speaker 3: Americans who voted Republican in the last presidential election. Crazy cancer, 925 00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:01,640 Speaker 3: one of the two major political parties in this country, 926 00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:07,080 Speaker 3: a cancer that needs to be removed. This is rather 927 00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:11,759 Speaker 3: disgusting rhetoric. Of course, it's often when you hear these 928 00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:15,239 Speaker 3: kinds of things. It's projection, is it not. This is 929 00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:17,640 Speaker 3: often what the left accuses the right of saying of 930 00:53:17,680 --> 00:53:22,919 Speaker 3: being nasty and violent, and it's rhetoric. But I can't 931 00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:25,879 Speaker 3: think of anything nastier or more violent, frankly than using 932 00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:31,280 Speaker 3: the terms fumigation, exorcism or cancer removal, or the idea 933 00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:36,040 Speaker 3: that all non white people in the United States must 934 00:53:36,080 --> 00:53:39,719 Speaker 3: ban together to throw off the yoke of their oppressors. 935 00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:43,759 Speaker 3: Pretty extreme stuff from the left, if you ask me. 936 00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:46,520 Speaker 3: When we come back. My friend Emily Austin is here. 937 00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:48,920 Speaker 3: She was at the Grammys the other day with Billie Eilish. 938 00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:51,080 Speaker 3: It's an interesting story. You'll want to hear it. 939 00:53:51,120 --> 00:53:54,319 Speaker 1: Stay with us quelling and leftist arguments with truth and 940 00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:57,880 Speaker 1: common sense.

Let me go back a few 959 00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:48,359 Speaker 3: days and talk to you about the Grammys. You were 960 00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:52,440 Speaker 3: at the Grammys the night that Billie Eilish decided to 961 00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:57,800 Speaker 3: say the bit about stolen land nobody's illegal on stolen land, 962 00:54:57,840 --> 00:55:00,520 Speaker 3: and you ended up with a little bit of a 963 00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:04,240 Speaker 3: viral moment because you would not go along with the crowd. 964 00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:07,600 Speaker 3: You had the crowd there standing up and clapping, everybody 965 00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:11,040 Speaker 3: cheering on this anti ice and all this stolen land business, 966 00:55:11,560 --> 00:55:13,799 Speaker 3: and you said no because you were the only person 967 00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:15,040 Speaker 3: in the room with any common sense. 968 00:55:15,080 --> 00:55:16,080 Speaker 2: Tell us what that was like? 969 00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:20,399 Speaker 9: Yeah, thanks, I mean for starters, I say this a lot, 970 00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:23,160 Speaker 9: and it receives scrutiny because maybe it comes off like 971 00:55:23,239 --> 00:55:25,840 Speaker 9: ignorant or maybe too harsh. But I say, if I 972 00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:27,799 Speaker 9: disagree with you, but you say it with your chest 973 00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:30,520 Speaker 9: and you have a backbone at least I can respect 974 00:55:30,600 --> 00:55:32,799 Speaker 9: the integrity that you have. When I came to the 975 00:55:32,840 --> 00:55:36,360 Speaker 9: Grammys with my American flag diamond clutch walking in, so 976 00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:39,080 Speaker 9: many people came up to me. They whispered to me like, 977 00:55:39,080 --> 00:55:41,040 Speaker 9: oh my god, we love your bag. But they were 978 00:55:41,080 --> 00:55:43,480 Speaker 9: almost fearful that God forbid it came out that they 979 00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:46,600 Speaker 9: support the United States of America, they'd receive some sort 980 00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:49,760 Speaker 9: of backlash. But then when Billie Eilish said f ice 981 00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:52,680 Speaker 9: or no one is illegal on stolen land like sheep, 982 00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:56,080 Speaker 9: everyone just stood up and was roaring like she had 983 00:55:56,160 --> 00:55:59,640 Speaker 9: just dropped the smartest line you'd ever heard. Me and 984 00:55:59,680 --> 00:56:02,160 Speaker 9: my mother, my poor mother who's getting bullied online now, 985 00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:05,759 Speaker 9: we both sat and we were like, yeah, we love 986 00:56:05,840 --> 00:56:08,759 Speaker 9: law enforcement, we love America. And everyone was looking at 987 00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:13,160 Speaker 9: us like I'm sure and utter disgust, and I would 988 00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:16,320 Speaker 9: do it all over again, except now, Scott. The funniest 989 00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:20,000 Speaker 9: part is the people who preach love and inclusivity are 990 00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:23,040 Speaker 9: now telling me every single five seconds on Instagram to 991 00:56:23,239 --> 00:56:25,960 Speaker 9: go die, to choke, to kill myself. They hope Ice 992 00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:29,200 Speaker 9: raped me, that I support pedophiles, and are writing me 993 00:56:29,239 --> 00:56:32,280 Speaker 9: the most vile things I've ever seen in my life. 994 00:56:33,120 --> 00:56:35,360 Speaker 3: Well, you showed quite a bit of courage by making 995 00:56:35,360 --> 00:56:37,439 Speaker 3: a stand there at the Grammys. You know, you run 996 00:56:37,440 --> 00:56:39,360 Speaker 3: in these circles and I don't. And I suspect a 997 00:56:39,360 --> 00:56:42,120 Speaker 3: lot of our listeners want to know this, and you 998 00:56:42,160 --> 00:56:44,640 Speaker 3: alluded to it. But just to be clear, you had 999 00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:47,560 Speaker 3: a few people whispering to you, Oh, I love your bag, 1000 00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:51,239 Speaker 3: I love the American flag. Maybe they were whispering to you, Hey, 1001 00:56:52,040 --> 00:56:54,280 Speaker 3: I agree with you. But when push comes to shove, 1002 00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:56,800 Speaker 3: it's your opinion that most of the folks out in 1003 00:56:56,920 --> 00:57:00,719 Speaker 3: Hollywood just don't have enough backbone to stand up common sense. 1004 00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:03,160 Speaker 3: They feel like, for professional reasons, they have to go 1005 00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:06,680 Speaker 3: along with the crowd, even when the crowd is objectively stupid. 1006 00:57:07,520 --> 00:57:10,480 Speaker 9: It's solely for professional reasons. I have to believe this, 1007 00:57:10,560 --> 00:57:12,520 Speaker 9: and it helps me sleep better at and I that 1008 00:57:12,600 --> 00:57:16,400 Speaker 9: the people who utilize these security services, whether it's private security, 1009 00:57:16,400 --> 00:57:19,080 Speaker 9: the police, or you know, relying on people like ICE 1010 00:57:19,120 --> 00:57:21,439 Speaker 9: to keep criminals out of the country, that they'd show 1011 00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:24,400 Speaker 9: a sense of appreciation for them. And the truth is, 1012 00:57:25,040 --> 00:57:28,040 Speaker 9: privately they do. But that's not enough in a world 1013 00:57:28,080 --> 00:57:30,880 Speaker 9: full of sheep that follow, you know, the celebrities that 1014 00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:33,480 Speaker 9: follow the leaders. You need to be the leader there 1015 00:57:33,520 --> 00:57:36,880 Speaker 9: are no leaders anymore. There's Billie Eilish, who's one being 1016 00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:39,640 Speaker 9: a mouthpiece for the sheep. So the few people that 1017 00:57:39,680 --> 00:57:41,640 Speaker 9: came to me in private, whether it's at the Grammys 1018 00:57:41,720 --> 00:57:44,120 Speaker 9: or the after parties, we're very very you know, I'm 1019 00:57:44,120 --> 00:57:46,479 Speaker 9: going to protect their identities. But some of the most 1020 00:57:46,480 --> 00:57:48,920 Speaker 9: famous people that all these young people look up to, 1021 00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:53,320 Speaker 9: some of the most famous music executives, the decision makers, 1022 00:57:53,360 --> 00:57:54,800 Speaker 9: they were the ones coming to me and they're like, 1023 00:57:54,840 --> 00:57:57,560 Speaker 9: you were the girl with the American flag, God bless you. 1024 00:57:57,720 --> 00:57:59,960 Speaker 9: And I'm just like, who would have thought, you know? 1025 00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:03,320 Speaker 9: And I actually debated with one of them. He had 1026 00:58:03,320 --> 00:58:04,880 Speaker 9: said to me, how do we raise our kids to 1027 00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:07,800 Speaker 9: be like you? So for starters, you need to be 1028 00:58:07,880 --> 00:58:11,080 Speaker 9: proud and vocal and second move out of la And 1029 00:58:11,120 --> 00:58:12,920 Speaker 9: it was funny, but it was serious where I'm like, 1030 00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:14,560 Speaker 9: how could you want your kids to act a certain 1031 00:58:14,600 --> 00:58:16,200 Speaker 9: way if you don't act a certain way? And it 1032 00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:16,960 Speaker 9: was kind of sad. 1033 00:58:18,440 --> 00:58:21,240 Speaker 3: In the wake of the Billie Eilish comments, it seemed 1034 00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:25,600 Speaker 3: to me Emily that she suffered a fairly significant negative 1035 00:58:25,760 --> 00:58:29,800 Speaker 3: cycle of public relations. I mean, she was dragged online significantly. 1036 00:58:30,280 --> 00:58:32,760 Speaker 3: She got a ton of negative attention. Do you think 1037 00:58:32,840 --> 00:58:36,520 Speaker 3: that someone like Billie Eilish sees this whole engagement as 1038 00:58:36,560 --> 00:58:38,880 Speaker 3: a mistake or as a negative experience, or do you 1039 00:58:38,920 --> 00:58:41,720 Speaker 3: think she sees it as a net positive to her 1040 00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:43,200 Speaker 3: for having done and said. 1041 00:58:42,960 --> 00:58:43,520 Speaker 2: What she said. 1042 00:58:44,560 --> 00:58:46,920 Speaker 9: I think Billy right now is on the phone with 1043 00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:49,640 Speaker 9: whoever told her to say that, and is asking them 1044 00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:52,640 Speaker 9: what did I say? Because I don't believe she thought 1045 00:58:52,680 --> 00:58:54,640 Speaker 9: of that by herself. I don't believe any of these 1046 00:58:54,720 --> 00:58:58,480 Speaker 9: artists do enough critical thinking individually. They say whatever their 1047 00:58:58,520 --> 00:59:02,360 Speaker 9: pr or agent or manage instructing them to say. She 1048 00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:05,520 Speaker 9: clearly must have read that somewhere, because you know, based 1049 00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:08,480 Speaker 9: on the scrutiny, usually you come out, you make a statement, 1050 00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:12,360 Speaker 9: you defend what you said, or you apologize. She's done neither, 1051 00:59:12,440 --> 00:59:16,720 Speaker 9: because she's likely confused. Now, the most ironic part about 1052 00:59:16,760 --> 00:59:19,439 Speaker 9: Billie Eilish, of all people saying this is no one's 1053 00:59:19,440 --> 00:59:22,560 Speaker 9: illegal on stolen land, yet she lives on specifically Native 1054 00:59:22,600 --> 00:59:25,920 Speaker 9: American stolen land, who have now released a statement. And secondly, 1055 00:59:26,240 --> 00:59:28,880 Speaker 9: Billie Eilish has a restraining order on a criminal who 1056 00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:32,000 Speaker 9: broke into her home. But if you don't believe in 1057 00:59:32,040 --> 00:59:34,640 Speaker 9: private property, because we're all on stolen land. Why would 1058 00:59:34,640 --> 00:59:38,120 Speaker 9: you call nine one one who you disrespect to come 1059 00:59:38,160 --> 00:59:40,360 Speaker 9: save you from this person who's on your land that 1060 00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:43,200 Speaker 9: you stole as well, Emily? 1061 00:59:43,280 --> 00:59:45,600 Speaker 3: How does it work in Hollywood when someone like Billie 1062 00:59:45,640 --> 00:59:47,760 Speaker 3: Eilish is going to make a speech at a major 1063 00:59:47,760 --> 00:59:51,880 Speaker 3: event like the Grammys. Do they have advisors that tell them, oh, 1064 00:59:51,960 --> 00:59:55,120 Speaker 3: here's the latest cultural hot button that you should hit 1065 00:59:55,640 --> 00:59:57,640 Speaker 3: or do they often just see things in their own 1066 00:59:57,640 --> 01:00:00,640 Speaker 3: social media feeds and sort of unv and run up 1067 01:00:00,680 --> 01:00:02,720 Speaker 3: to the stage and say it without thinking about it. 1068 01:00:02,760 --> 01:00:05,959 Speaker 3: What's the most common way that these Hollywood celebrities wind 1069 01:00:06,040 --> 01:00:07,200 Speaker 3: up saying the dumbest things? 1070 01:00:08,040 --> 01:00:10,200 Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, for starters. I spoke about this, but 1071 01:00:10,240 --> 01:00:13,439 Speaker 9: it's really not getting enough attention. At the Grammys, before 1072 01:00:13,480 --> 01:00:16,360 Speaker 9: the red carpet, there was a woman handing out ice outpins, 1073 01:00:16,720 --> 01:00:20,400 Speaker 9: so people who showed up with no political statements were 1074 01:00:20,520 --> 01:00:24,160 Speaker 9: encouraged to put these pins on before all the photographers 1075 01:00:24,200 --> 01:00:25,720 Speaker 9: had a chance to take a picture of you. So 1076 01:00:26,120 --> 01:00:29,640 Speaker 9: clearly this was an initiative that was pre planned. Billy's case, 1077 01:00:29,760 --> 01:00:32,840 Speaker 9: what I'd imagine happened is that she has you know, 1078 01:00:32,880 --> 01:00:34,760 Speaker 9: you have like a small team around you. Twenty four 1079 01:00:34,800 --> 01:00:38,240 Speaker 9: seven at Old times, one person must be extremely woke, 1080 01:00:38,640 --> 01:00:41,160 Speaker 9: probably chirped something in her ear about if you win, 1081 01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:44,360 Speaker 9: make sure you, you know, say something to give Ice 1082 01:00:44,400 --> 01:00:46,800 Speaker 9: a taste of their own medicine, which Ice cannot care 1083 01:00:46,960 --> 01:00:50,600 Speaker 9: less of. Billie Eilish thinks, nor does anyone honestly. And 1084 01:00:50,760 --> 01:00:53,400 Speaker 9: the illegal on stolen Lange. She must have read that 1085 01:00:53,440 --> 01:00:56,840 Speaker 9: online because that wasn't even a narrative. It's going around, 1086 01:00:58,720 --> 01:00:59,080 Speaker 9: all right. 1087 01:00:59,120 --> 01:01:02,920 Speaker 3: That voice you're hearing to is Emily Austin, an American journalist, 1088 01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:07,480 Speaker 3: a social media influencer, and also an independent sports broadcaster. 1089 01:01:07,640 --> 01:01:11,040 Speaker 3: She's the host of The Emily Austin Show and my friend. 1090 01:01:11,080 --> 01:01:13,720 Speaker 3: We've debated together on CNN a time or two. You 1091 01:01:13,720 --> 01:01:16,560 Speaker 3: can find her on the X platform at Emily R. 1092 01:01:17,120 --> 01:01:17,520 Speaker 2: Austin. 1093 01:01:17,600 --> 01:01:20,280 Speaker 3: I want to shift gears to another celebrity Emily that 1094 01:01:20,440 --> 01:01:25,880 Speaker 3: is making waves. I speak of Bad Bunny, who appeared 1095 01:01:25,960 --> 01:01:28,800 Speaker 3: at the Super Bowl halftime show last night. A lot 1096 01:01:28,880 --> 01:01:32,840 Speaker 3: of conservatives were outraged when the NFL decided to do 1097 01:01:32,880 --> 01:01:35,840 Speaker 3: the halftime show with Bad Bunny, and in fact it 1098 01:01:35,920 --> 01:01:39,840 Speaker 3: prompted Turning Point USA to have their own halftime show 1099 01:01:39,960 --> 01:01:43,440 Speaker 3: with Kid Rock and other musicians. So I have to ask, 1100 01:01:43,520 --> 01:01:47,280 Speaker 3: as our official Hollywood correspondent of the Scott Jetting Show. 1101 01:01:47,400 --> 01:01:50,440 Speaker 3: What was your impression of Bad Bunny at the Super 1102 01:01:50,440 --> 01:01:51,360 Speaker 3: Bowl last night? 1103 01:01:53,040 --> 01:01:56,360 Speaker 9: All right, conservatives, close your ears for a brief moment, 1104 01:01:56,720 --> 01:01:59,400 Speaker 9: I Scott. I loved it. I thought it was incredible. 1105 01:01:59,480 --> 01:02:02,040 Speaker 9: I will by saying I am a fan of his music. 1106 01:02:02,480 --> 01:02:07,360 Speaker 9: Do I understand more than ten percent of the lyrics? No? 1107 01:02:08,080 --> 01:02:08,200 Speaker 16: Do. 1108 01:02:08,280 --> 01:02:10,400 Speaker 9: I vibe to the music and it makes my body 1109 01:02:10,480 --> 01:02:13,480 Speaker 9: move nicely. Absolutely. I don't think you need to understand 1110 01:02:13,480 --> 01:02:15,240 Speaker 9: the words to acknowledge that it has a good be 1111 01:02:15,440 --> 01:02:18,440 Speaker 9: and it has good rhythm. I thought the performance itself 1112 01:02:18,480 --> 01:02:22,080 Speaker 9: was incredible. There was hot women dancing on the field. 1113 01:02:22,400 --> 01:02:25,800 Speaker 9: There's no transgender ideology, there was nothing woke about it. 1114 01:02:26,040 --> 01:02:29,640 Speaker 9: He embraced multiple cultures, including the United States. He made 1115 01:02:29,640 --> 01:02:32,000 Speaker 9: it clear to say God bless the USA. He brought 1116 01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:34,760 Speaker 9: out an American flag at the end, Yes, accommodated by 1117 01:02:34,840 --> 01:02:38,160 Speaker 9: multiple Latin American flags, but I don't see a problem 1118 01:02:38,160 --> 01:02:41,960 Speaker 9: with that. And I'll also add he had every opportunity 1119 01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:45,360 Speaker 9: to make this political and he chose not to. However, 1120 01:02:45,800 --> 01:02:48,960 Speaker 9: with the utmost respect to turning Point, and I adore 1121 01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:51,240 Speaker 9: the work that they do, and it's God's good work. 1122 01:02:51,880 --> 01:02:55,040 Speaker 9: What they did was divisive because it was a moment 1123 01:02:55,080 --> 01:02:57,240 Speaker 9: of unity, and he held up beautiful signs on the 1124 01:02:57,240 --> 01:02:59,600 Speaker 9: billboards that said the only thing stronger than hate is 1125 01:02:59,640 --> 01:03:02,760 Speaker 9: love and turning point, and people like Jake Paul, who 1126 01:03:02,800 --> 01:03:06,240 Speaker 9: later apologized for it, We're like, nobody watched this garbage. 1127 01:03:06,400 --> 01:03:09,080 Speaker 9: Let's turn off the TVs and let's show them. Nobody 1128 01:03:09,160 --> 01:03:12,280 Speaker 9: showed anyone anything. And the fact that we're having a 1129 01:03:12,360 --> 01:03:15,720 Speaker 9: cultural civil war in the United States over one of 1130 01:03:15,720 --> 01:03:18,920 Speaker 9: the best performing artists in the US, three time Grammy 1131 01:03:18,960 --> 01:03:21,919 Speaker 9: winning artist is silly. We have bigger battles to fight 1132 01:03:22,320 --> 01:03:25,000 Speaker 9: our country. The city I'm in right now, New York's 1133 01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:27,120 Speaker 9: falling apart, and we're like, I don't like that he's 1134 01:03:27,120 --> 01:03:30,040 Speaker 9: staying in Spanish. Well, fifty million Americans speak Spanish, so 1135 01:03:30,120 --> 01:03:30,680 Speaker 9: get over it. 1136 01:03:31,960 --> 01:03:35,320 Speaker 3: Emily, you raised my next topic, which is New York City. 1137 01:03:35,520 --> 01:03:37,680 Speaker 3: We're now a little over a month end to the 1138 01:03:37,720 --> 01:03:41,880 Speaker 3: new mayor. Mom Donnie, and you are Jewish. You're an 1139 01:03:41,880 --> 01:03:45,160 Speaker 3: outspoken defender of the Jewish people, and you and I 1140 01:03:45,240 --> 01:03:48,000 Speaker 3: have debated these issues with folks on CNN on a 1141 01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:51,200 Speaker 3: few occasions. There are a lot of people in New 1142 01:03:51,280 --> 01:03:53,640 Speaker 3: York City who believe they're getting exactly what they thought 1143 01:03:53,680 --> 01:03:55,360 Speaker 3: they were going to get with Mom Donnie, which is 1144 01:03:55,760 --> 01:03:59,760 Speaker 3: an administration that is tilted heavily against Jewish people. How 1145 01:03:59,800 --> 01:04:01,760 Speaker 3: do you feel about Mom Donnie a little over a 1146 01:04:01,840 --> 01:04:05,320 Speaker 3: month in UH as someone who has your proclivities and 1147 01:04:05,440 --> 01:04:07,680 Speaker 3: political views on these matters. 1148 01:04:08,040 --> 01:04:12,160 Speaker 9: You know, when I break it down, here is how 1149 01:04:12,160 --> 01:04:15,880 Speaker 9: I think of it. Mam Donnie himself, I think is 1150 01:04:15,920 --> 01:04:20,080 Speaker 9: a fool. I don't think he's so you know, smart 1151 01:04:20,240 --> 01:04:22,120 Speaker 9: to be able to screw up the city as well 1152 01:04:22,160 --> 01:04:24,760 Speaker 9: as he could. What I don't like about Mam Donnie 1153 01:04:25,280 --> 01:04:30,560 Speaker 9: is that he enables extremist regular citizens of Manhattan, meaning 1154 01:04:30,720 --> 01:04:32,640 Speaker 9: or the five boroughs. I could say, I focus on 1155 01:04:32,640 --> 01:04:35,280 Speaker 9: New York City. The people who voted for him are 1156 01:04:35,320 --> 01:04:38,800 Speaker 9: the woke left. They're the extremists, they're the Prohamas crowd, 1157 01:04:39,240 --> 01:04:42,960 Speaker 9: they're the disrespect law enforcement crowd. And they're the ones 1158 01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:46,080 Speaker 9: who now feel empowered over the fact that ma'm donnie 1159 01:04:46,120 --> 01:04:48,440 Speaker 9: is the mayor. And I'm not even talking policy right now, 1160 01:04:48,440 --> 01:04:52,200 Speaker 9: I'm just talking social effect. They walk around knowing that 1161 01:04:52,240 --> 01:04:54,640 Speaker 9: they're almost like they get a jail out of free 1162 01:04:54,640 --> 01:04:57,240 Speaker 9: pass because Ma'm Donnie's the mayor. And that's what frightens me, 1163 01:04:57,320 --> 01:05:00,680 Speaker 9: because the mayor his hands are ultimately tied by the governor, 1164 01:05:00,920 --> 01:05:04,520 Speaker 9: who is also a dumb idiot Governor Hokeel. So my 1165 01:05:04,680 --> 01:05:09,880 Speaker 9: problems more with the governor, but socially, Zoron is empowering 1166 01:05:09,920 --> 01:05:13,640 Speaker 9: this group that has no business being empowered, the lowest 1167 01:05:13,680 --> 01:05:17,640 Speaker 9: IQ of them all, but more importantly the crowd who 1168 01:05:18,560 --> 01:05:21,160 Speaker 9: basically are violent, and that scares me. Like I was 1169 01:05:21,360 --> 01:05:22,800 Speaker 9: just on the phone with my friend before we came 1170 01:05:22,840 --> 01:05:25,200 Speaker 9: on Zoom. I was grabbing my macha and I said, 1171 01:05:25,200 --> 01:05:27,320 Speaker 9: why do I feel like like if I don't look 1172 01:05:27,360 --> 01:05:30,320 Speaker 9: over my shoulder, I'm just going to get stabbed. That's 1173 01:05:30,440 --> 01:05:33,400 Speaker 9: how I feel walking around Manhattan. And I travel a 1174 01:05:33,440 --> 01:05:36,520 Speaker 9: lot to many many countries and cities, and I don't 1175 01:05:36,520 --> 01:05:39,080 Speaker 9: feel that way anywhere else besides downtown La. 1176 01:05:40,200 --> 01:05:40,400 Speaker 8: Yeah. 1177 01:05:40,400 --> 01:05:42,040 Speaker 3: I think a lot of Jewish people in New York 1178 01:05:42,080 --> 01:05:44,480 Speaker 3: feel the same way you do. That just being out 1179 01:05:44,480 --> 01:05:46,680 Speaker 3: in the city, being out on the street. They're more 1180 01:05:46,680 --> 01:05:51,240 Speaker 3: in danger now than they were before Mamdani became mayor.
