10
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:40,080

Speaker 1: says no negotiations with Iran. As the pounding continues and

Speaker 2: Folks.

32
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: The message continues to spread topping the news today. Latest

33
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: jobs report is in not a great report, ninety two

34
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: thousand jobs lost in February. Healthcare sector was a big

35
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: loser in the report, hampered by a strike, a huge strike.

36
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: Thirty one thousand Kaiser permanent day workers went on strike. Hospitality, construction,

37
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:13,679
Speaker 1: manufacturing all down in the report. Now, the president's economic advisor,

38
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 1: Kevin has It, says he's not overly worried about a

39
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 1: one month bobble. Let's listen to cut number nine.

40
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 4: What's going to happen, right, is that the variability in

41
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 4: the data will be apparent to folks. And so what's

42
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 4: going to happen, I think is that there'll be some

43
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 4: anxiety that another number like this, or two or three

44
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,519
Speaker 4: numbers like this is ahead for us. But we really

45
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 4: don't believe that because, as you and I have discussed,

46
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 4: like every other indicator is consistent with very strong GDP

47
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 4: growth right now, and so this really is an outlier number.

48
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 2: Kevin has it there at the White House.

49
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 1: Iran war update, President Trump said this morning there will

50
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 1: be no deal with Iran, no negotiations, except in the

51
00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: case of an unconditional surrender from the enemy. He has

52
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: indicated that the next leader of Iran must be acceptable

53
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: to him. And the bombing has intensified today. The US

54
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: and Israel are pounding Tehran USB two bombers, dropping dozens

55
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 1: of two thousand pound penetrator bombs targeting deeply buried ballistic

56
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:24,799
Speaker 1: missile launchers. Israel has destroyed the Iatolas underground bunker, where

57
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 1: several regime officials were said to be located. We'll keep

58
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: an eye on the war effort throughout the show, and

59
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: joining us now to discuss the news of the day,

60
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: The Governor of West Virginia is here, Patrick Morrisse, Governor,

61
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Scott Jennings Show.

62
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 2: Glad to have you.

63
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: You heard the economic news and the jobs report. What

64
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: are you seeing in the West Virginia economy.

65
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 5: Well, first of all, Scott, thanks so much for having

66
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 5: me back on I always enjoy spending time with you,

67
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 5: and I know we've got a lot of good friends together.

68
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 5: We do common in Kentucky. You know, look what we're seeing.

69
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 5: We obviously know that President Trump passed an unprecedented tax

70
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 5: bill last year. You're beginning to see it take effect

71
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 5: a lot of people now following the returns. I'm actually

72
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 5: expecting whatever blip there may be, we're going to start

73
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 5: to see some growth and update in West Virginia. We

74
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 5: had a little bit of slowdown last year, but I

75
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 5: think that we're poised to come out of it for

76
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 5: a couple reasons. One, in West Virginia, we're really leveraging

77
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 5: our energy resources, and there are a lot of new

78
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 5: construction starts. Since October, I've been able to announce over

79
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,919
Speaker 5: ten and a half billion dollars of new private sector investment,

80
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 5: leading to about ten thousand new jobs. A lot of

81
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 5: construction jobs. They're going to be healthcare jobs that follow

82
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 5: a lot of energy jobs. So I think a lot

83
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 5: of it is just there's some regional disparities and the

84
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 5: numbers you're seeing. But with the tax provisions coming online,

85
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 5: we see that helping West Virginia. With the Rural Health

86
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 5: Transformation Program, we see that helping in healthcare. And so

87
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 5: I have to believe it's a blip because we're really

88
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 5: optimistic in West Virginia.

89
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: I want to ask you about an emerging part of

90
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: our economy, these AI data centers you call them intelligence centers.

91
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 1: Is West Virginia welcoming of this new part of our

92
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 1: tech economy?

93
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 5: You know, we really are for a couple different reasons.

94
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 5: First of all, West Virginia is such a rich energy state.

95
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 5: And the one thing that these data and these AI

96
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 5: and these intelligence companies need they need power, They need

97
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 5: reliable power, they need affordable power. West Virginia can do

98
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 5: that better than just about any state in the nation.

99
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 5: So we're building on that strength. But Scott, the other

100
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 5: thing we're doing is we're actually cutting red tape faster,

101
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 5: so we're allowing companies to come in and build quicker

102
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 5: than in other places. So we passed one of the

103
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 5: most important laws last year in our state to make

104
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 5: it very attractive for these intelligence centers to locate in

105
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 5: West Virginia and now our phone is running off the hook.

106
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 5: We had a big announcement last week. We have a

107
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 5: lot more common.

108
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I read, I believe a four billion dollar investment

109
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: in a high impact intelligence center and that's going in

110
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 1: Berkeley County. What makes that particular part of West Virginia

111
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: attractive or something like this?

112
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 5: Well, a couple things. I mean, there are a lot

113
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 5: of attractive parts, especially where these companies are locating right

114
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 5: near pipelines because they have access to the energy. But

115
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 5: Berkeley is also very attractive because it's within an hour

116
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 5: and twenty five minutes of DC. It's very close to

117
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 5: Ashburn and a lot of the data center hubs from

118
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 5: Loudun County. And looking at everything that's going on in

119
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 5: Virginia where they're trying to lift tax rates up, increase

120
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 5: burdens on businesses, a lot of companies that would otherwise

121
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 5: look to locate in Virginia are now looking at West

122
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 5: Virginia and Berkeley's just a few miles away.

123
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, you all stand poise to take advantage of a

124
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: rapidly changing environment in Virginia. New governor there a democrat

125
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: raising taxes. It's really sort of radical and different of

126
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: course they have had a governor Younkin for four years.

127
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: He had to state on the right track. Now they're

128
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: on the wrong track. But that's to your benefit. And

129
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: you mentioned red tape. You're also which I know you

130
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: had a permitting reform that you did, but you're also

131
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: right now asking the legislature in West Virginia for tax cuts.

132
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 5: We are I called for a ten percent across the

133
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 5: board income tax cut. We've made a lot of the

134
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 5: difficult decisions to reduce spending and so we're poised to

135
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 5: do it. The Senate in West Virginia past that ten

136
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 5: percent tax cut. We think that's good. The House was

137
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 5: at zero until yesterday. Now they've moved to five. I

138
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 5: want to continue to put pressure on them to get

139
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 5: to ten percent. Look, I'll take whatever they're going to

140
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 5: give me right now because West Virginias deserve a tax cut,

141
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 5: but we can do more.

142
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 6: Yeah.

143
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: That's Governor Patrick Morrissey of the Great State of West

144
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: Virginia now governor. During the President's State of the Union,

145
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: the nation heard about the bravery of two West Virginia

146
00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: service members who received purple hearts. Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolfe,

147
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: who actually survived the terrorist attack near the White House

148
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: last fall, and also a purple heart went to the

149
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: family of the deceased Army specialist Sarah Bestrom. You personally

150
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: requested these decorations from the President, so that moment was

151
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: set up by a conversation that you had with a

152
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: commander in chief.

153
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 5: That's right. So I talked to the President after the

154
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 5: incident in Washington, d C. Back in November, and then

155
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 5: I also had a chance to chat with the President

156
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 5: a couple of days before he made his State of

157
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 5: the Union address, and he is so focused on showing

158
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 5: the families of these brave pen and women how much

159
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 5: he cares. And these were courageous people. They deserved it.

160
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:48,439
Speaker 5: There was a terrorist hit on two West Virginians who

161
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 5: were doing their job. They were fulfilling the mission. It

162
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 5: was a good mission to help Washington, d C. Our

163
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 5: nation's capital. And I know that the President was very

164
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,079
Speaker 5: eager to show the respect for the fans, families and

165
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 5: Sarah who made the ultimate sacrifice, and Andrew who everyone

166
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 5: left for dead and now he's starting his comeback, which

167
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 5: is phenomenal.

168
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's really incredible the story of Andrew Wolf. The

169
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: President honored a number of military figures there at the

170
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: State of the Union, and obviously you were a big

171
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: part of making that happen. We've got about thirty seconds.

172
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: Obviously we're at war with Iran right now. You're watching

173
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: all of this unfold. West Virginians are watching it unfold.

174
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 1: Does the President have the support of your people as

175
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: we take out this terrorist regime?

176
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 5: Look, the President does have the support of people in

177
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 5: West Virginia. I know yesterday I greeted a lot of

178
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 5: our guardsmen who came back. They were actually doing an

179
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 5: exercise at the Horn of Africa. One hundred and twenty

180
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 5: people that I saw come off the plane. So these

181
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 5: are some of the finest men and women in our country.

182
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 5: West Virginia stands with the President, and we want to

183
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 5: make sure that when you have these kind of foreign

184
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 5: powers doing the things they're doing, they know that America

185
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 5: is not to tolerate that.

186
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: That voice you're hearing today that of Governor Patrick Morrissey

187
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: of the Great State of West Virginia. Cas for coming

188
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: on the show, Governor. Before you get away, I do

189
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: need to share it with our listeners. A story from

190
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: Rod in Texas. Rod is sixty four years old. He

191
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 1: was telling me that he used to build houses on

192
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: the side and all this physical labor at his life

193
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: gave him excruciating back pain and he didn't know what

194
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: to do, so he turns to Relief Factor. Within four days,

195
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: the pain subsided. Here's a quote from Rod. Being pain

196
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 1: free is indescribable. That's what happened to him in the

197
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,440

206
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:06,199
Speaker 1: North Carolina Congressman Brad Not making his debut on the

207
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 1: Scott Shetting Show. It's common sense for the American people

208
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 1: stay with us. Iran has unleashed missile attacks on Israel

209
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: and across the Holy Land. Today, children are watching the

210
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: skies for rockets. Mothers and fathers are listening closely for

211
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 1: red alert sirens. These sirens give you fifteen seconds to

212
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: get to the nearest bomb shelter. The situation, Folks, is serious,

213
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: and the threat is real. Right now, the International Fellowship

214
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 1: of Christians and Jews is on the ground preparing large

215
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: scale distributions of life saving food, First aid, emergency essentials

216
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: for civilian security personnel, and insuring hospitals, emergency rooms and

217
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 1: shelters are fully stocked with critical and life saving medical supplies.

218
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: AID is all focused here on protecting Israel's most vulnerable people,

219
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: the sick, the elderly, children and families who are in

220
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 1: great need. But the Fellowship needs your most generous gift

221

229
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 2: Welcome back here.

230
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,959
Speaker 1: On Friday, March to six, Scott Jennings is broadcasting live

231
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 1: from the Free State of Florida. But this segment, we'd

232
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: like to talk about North Carolina, one of the most

233
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: targeted states in the twenty twenty six midterm election. We

234
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 1: have a major United States Senate race going on there

235
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,199
Speaker 1: and at least one highly targeted congressional race. Hundreds of

236
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 1: millions of dollars will be spent in the tar Heel

237
00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: state this year. My next guest represents North Carolina's thirteenth

238
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: district in the House. Let's hear him in action and

239
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: cut number one.

240
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:09,559
Speaker 8: To the Angel families. I'm going to apologize for my colleagues.

241
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 8: They issue crocodile tears, they issue fake sympathy, and then

242
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 8: they continue to defend the open border policies that enable

243
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 8: preventable crimes that brought you here today.

244
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 6: I'm ashamed.

245
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,559
Speaker 8: I'm ashamed that they are still continuing to defend illegal

246
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 8: immigration and act like it is not a mortal wound

247
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 8: to this country. Your country failed you, and I'm sorry.

248
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,439
Speaker 2: I'm sorry that boys.

249
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,839
Speaker 1: Congressman Brad Nott from North Carolina. Welcome to the Scott

250
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: Sheenning Show.

251
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 8: Hey, good morning, Scott, Thank you.

252
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks for being here.

253
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: That moment, by the way, a powerful moment, was from

254
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: the House Judiciary Committee and a hearing there with Angel

255
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: families who have lost loved ones to violent illegal aliens.

256
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: Tell us a little bit about the debate inside the

257
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:03,839
Speaker 1: committee between Republicans and Democrats over this immigration issue.

258
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 8: Well, just to set the stage, Scott for your viewers,

259
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,679
Speaker 8: the Angel families were attending that hearing in mass There

260
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 8: were dozens of people there. They had photos of family

261
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 8: members who had been killed through various crimes, exclusively by

262
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 8: illegal aliens. And also present was a precious five year

263
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 8: old girl named Elisah Coleman, who President Trump recognized at

264
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 8: his State of the Union and her spirit was unbelievably powerful.

265
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 8: I mean, here this little girl is. She was a healthy,

266
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 8: vibrant young child whose body was crushed by an illegal

267
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 8: alien who was driving an eighty thousand pound truck. And

268
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 8: there she was in her wheelchair advocating for common sense

269
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 8: enforcement so the other children don't suffer the same plight

270
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 8: that she is currently suffering. In every one of those families,

271
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 8: they are forever altered, right, I mean, these are people

272
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 8: who have died, These are people who have suffered, These

273
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:03,239
Speaker 8: are communities that have been lost. And every single Democrat

274
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 8: went after Christy Nome. They went after the President, they

275
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 8: went after Republicans for trying to remove illegal aliens, and

276
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 8: they're still defending the open border policies as somehow beneficial

277
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 8: to the country. And how they could do that with

278
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 8: the obvious case directly in front of them, It's just

279
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 8: beyond me and it really flies in the face of

280
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 8: common sense. It's not logical. Every American knows that illegal

281
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 8: immigration is a, like I said in the hearing, a

282
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 8: mortal threat to this country. And they're just persistence in

283
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 8: trying to protect illegal immigrants and the open border policy

284
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 8: that brought the illegal immigrants to our homes. It's really

285
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 8: beyond explanation.

286
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, the immigration issue, I think is still the President's

287
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 1: best issue.

288
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 2: It's his best success.

289
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 1: The border is closed, three million people have been deported.

290
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 1: That having been said, he did make a person change

291
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: yesterday removing Christy Nolan at the Department of Homeland Security

292
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 1: and replacing her with Senator Mark Wayne Mullen of Oklahoma.

293
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 2: Was that the right decision, Congressman.

294
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 8: Well, you know, like I said earlier, I think that

295
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 8: President Trump and Republicans are very focused on the mission,

296
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 8: and the mission is we want to protect American citizens

297
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 8: and people who are here legally. If you have an

298
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 8: open border that has allowed tens of millions of people

299
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 8: here illegally, you cannot protect America's interests, You cannot protect

300
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 8: American families. And unfortunately, there were a variety of missteps

301
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 8: from Christy. No, she did some good work, she secured

302
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 8: the border, but she became a distraction. And this president

303
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:47,359
Speaker 8: is focused on removing people who are here illegally, especially

304
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 8: those who pose the gravest harm. And if a personnel

305
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 8: or member of the cabinet becomes a distraction, the president

306
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 8: is not going to tolerate it. And so I believe

307
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 8: he did make the right decision.

308
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 1: Congressman Brad not as our guest this segment. Now you're

309
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 1: in North Carolina. You've got a big Senate race. It's

310
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 1: the Republican Michael Wattley versus the Democrat Roy Cooper. This

311
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: is to replace Tom Tillis. I got about thirty seconds.

312
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: Do you expect the immigration issue, the public safety issue

313
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,239
Speaker 1: to be one of the biggest arguments for Watley as

314
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 1: he tries to take on the former Democrat Governor Cooper.

315
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 8: There, Roy Cooper has tried to show himself to be

316
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 8: someone who's a moderate, he has sold his political soul

317
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 8: to the far left side of the Democratic Party. He

318
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 8: has freed very violent people into our state. He has

319
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:36,679
Speaker 8: not stood up to the far left factions on the

320
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:40,199
Speaker 8: immigration debate, and North Carolina has suffered because of it.

321
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 8: And Roy Cooper, despite his best efforts, is essentially a

322
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 8: North Carolina version of Tim Walls, and he's going to

323
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,400
Speaker 8: have to answer for that in a very serious way.

324
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 1: His way that voice, Brad Notott, Congressman from the great

325
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: state of North Carolina.

326
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:56,880
Speaker 2: Congressman, thanks for coming on the show.

327
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 1: We'll have you back very soon, and we're going to

328
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,360
Speaker 1: keep it in North Carolina. After this break, I've got

329
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 1: the Senator Ted Budd from North Carolina coming on. Stay

330
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: with us here. It's common sense for the American people.

331
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:10,400
Speaker 1: I'm Scott Jennings on location in Florida, coming up more with.

332
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:11,159
Speaker 2: More right after this.

333
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: You know, gold and silver recently soared to record highs

334
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:19,880
Speaker 1: and then pulled back, So our precious metal still a goodbye.

335
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:24,360
Speaker 1: Many Wall Street experts predict higher prices ahead. Why well,

336
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:28,159
Speaker 1: because we still have trillions in national debt, a declining dollar,

337
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 1: and inflation that keeps shrinking our savings.

338
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 2: Even with corrections along the way.

339
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 1: Gold remains a historical hedge for wealth protection. That's why

340
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: Morgan Stanley's chief investment officer ditched the sixty forty stocks

341
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:47,479
Speaker 1: in bonds portfolio and is recommending up to twenty percent

Speaker 1: And it is Friday, March sixth, Common sense for the

356
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: American people at Scott Jennings on Salem. My next guest

357
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: is here. We're keeping it in this state of North Carolina.

358
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 1: This is United States Senator Ted Budd. Welcome into the show,

359
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 1: sirh good to see you be here. Thanks big news

360
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 1: in Washington yesterday, Senator, is that one of your colleagues,

361
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,400
Speaker 1: Oklahoma Senator Mark Wayne Mullen has been tapped by President

362
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 1: Trump to replace Christy Nolan at the Department of Homeland Security.

363
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 2: You supportive of this?

364
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think it's great. Mark Wayne is a colleague

365
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,439
Speaker 10: of mine. We came in together in twenty twenty two

366
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 10: in the Senate. Remember his turn was for four years

367
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 10: because he was filling Jim in Hoff's term, who actually

368
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 10: left earlier and since passed away. So he's up for

369
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 10: election now. That will open up that seat in Oklahoma.

370
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 10: It's a solid the red state. If you go back

371
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 10: to the time that we serve together in the US House.

372
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 10: Secretary now Secretary Nome then became governor after being in

373
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 10: the US House. All three of us served together in

374
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 10: the House. So but you know, she's got it. I

375
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 10: wouldn't even look she's got an off ramp. The President

376
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 10: has given her a new role to focus on the

377
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:33,880
Speaker 10: Western hemisphere. You know, after some disruption, if we found

378
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 10: a way to work together and to get aid for

379
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,199
Speaker 10: western North Carolina, which has been my focus for the

380
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 10: last sixteen months. But I think Mark Waine's going to

381
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 10: do a great job. You know, he's he's a fighter,

382
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 10: but don't overlook the fact that he can really run

383
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 10: a business. He's been very successful building a sizable company

384
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 10: in Oklahoma. He's a good leader. He's been on the

385
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 10: Armed Services Committee. He understands law enforcement. I think he's

386
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 10: going to be a great leader.

387
00:20:58,480 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 5: You know.

388
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 1: Lost at all this conversation about the Department of Homeland

389
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 1: Security and the palace intrigue in the personnel is the

390
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 1: fact that it is still shut down. The Democrats have

391
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 1: DHS shut down right now, even though we're or even

392
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 1: though we have increased terrorism threats in the United States.

393
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: What are the prospects for getting the DHS reopened here?

394
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I think the American people might be getting

395
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:20,919
Speaker 1: a little tired of this.

396
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 10: Yeah, we're tired of it. You know, We've got ninety

397
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 10: six percent of the government funded through regular order, which

398
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 10: I think it's great. You know, you get to vote

399
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 10: on things you don't do these massive omnibuses. But at

400
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 10: the same time, this critical four percent that still remains

401
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 10: is about our homeland security. That's the folks at the

402
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 10: airport all the way to Coastguard, FEMA in the western

403
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 10: part of North Carolina is huge getting aid to that

404
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 10: part of the state. We don't want dysfunction anymore. But

405
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 10: I think this improves the odds of us having a

406
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:54,120
Speaker 10: reasonable conversation between hopefully Secretary Mark Wwayne Mullen and the rest,

407
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 10: because he's got good relationships obviously with me and even

408
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,119
Speaker 10: across the aisle, he's been great to work.

409
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, it seems like based on what we've heard a

410
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,360
Speaker 1: couple of Democrats say that Mark Wayne may actually get

411
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: a bipartisan confirmation vote here.

412
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:08,919
Speaker 10: I think you will. I think Vetterman has already come out.

413
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 10: You know, he's Vetterman's on so many issues. He's on

414
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 10: the right side of history, including against Iran. But I

415
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 10: think when it comes to getting Mark Wayne confirmed, you've

416
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 10: got a lot of folks that will be very supportive.

417
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 10: Now if we can get to getting the getting the

418
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 10: funding for DHS, that's what we really need.

419
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,639
Speaker 1: I mean, you represent one of the busiest airports in

420
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: America there in Charlotte. Are you concerned that the DHS

421
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,959
Speaker 1: shutdown is putting us on the brink of an airport

422
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:36,640
Speaker 1: like Charlotte seeing disruptions because of TSA issues and other things.

423
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 10: I do, I mean a couple months ago, back before

424
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,679
Speaker 10: the new year, we saw, you know, people that weren't funded.

425
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 10: But now we've got TSA folks. They just missed their

426
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 10: paycheck yesterday. So I'm very worried about these TSA folks

427
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 10: walking off the job and you know, stranding passengers.

428
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 2: Well, they certainly don't deserve to be treated this way.

429
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 1: This is the second time the Democrats have caused them

430
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 1: to have to go without paychecks and call major disruption

431
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 1: in their life. It's pretty despicable, actually, a Senator, Let's

432
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 1: turn our attention to Iran. The war is going on,

433
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: the pounding continues, we have heavy air bombardments going on.

434
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 1: We have near i think, air superiority for the Americans

435
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 1: and the Israelis over Iran. We are learning today that

436
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 1: apparently Russia has been providing some targeting intelligence to the

437
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 1: Iranians for them to use what they have left to

438
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 1: try to strike American positions.

439
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 2: How do you feel about that?

440
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 10: Yeah, that's very concerning, and that was new right before.

441
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:33,919
Speaker 10: We just went on the air here seeing that. But

442
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,159
Speaker 10: obviously they haven't been very successful, right or what are

443
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 10: they targeting? They're targeting their allies and our friends, you know,

444
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 10: the Gulf cooperation states everybody. If you look at the

445
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 10: randomness of what Iran has been attacking, that shows you

446
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 10: the success of what Russia has been doing, which is

447
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 10: not successful at all. It is alienated Iran even more so.

448
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,919
Speaker 10: I don't know what Russia gains by doing that, but

449
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 10: it appears to have been a failure already.

450
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Iranians have attacked I think now sixteen other countries,

451
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:09,640
Speaker 1: and even yesterday we heard the UK Prime Minister Kiir Starmer,

452
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,640
Speaker 1: who was initially opposed to all of this military action,

453
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,959
Speaker 1: say that they're thinking of getting involved militarily because of

454
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 1: the Iranian attacks in certain places that have put British

455
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 1: citizens in jeopardy. Is it your expectation that we will

456
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 1: see other countries besides the US and Israel eventually join

457
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:28,439
Speaker 1: in with their own militaries.

458
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 10: It's to those countries' best interests that they join us

459
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,640
Speaker 10: and that we get this done quickly. I mean, thankfully

460
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 10: we're going into the warmer months for Europe because you've

461
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 10: got so many gas issues because of the attacks from Iran,

462
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,400
Speaker 10: even on Cutter They've shut off their northern gas fields.

463
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 10: That eliminates natural gas going to Europe. So there's a

464
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 10: major problem. So it's in Europe's best interest to get

465
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 10: this done. But let's remember rather than just this past week,

466
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 10: this has been a fifty year problem, a forty seven

467
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:57,880
Speaker 10: year problem. Since nineteen seventy nine, they've chanted death to America,

468
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 10: death to our allies. They've married ballistic missiles with what

469
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 10: the scraps that they've picked up from Isfahan and our

470
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 10: Operation Midnight Hammer with the enrichment and trying to marry

471
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 10: those two together. That's an existential threat, not just for us,

472
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 10: but for all lovers of freedom in the western part.

473
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 2: Of the world.

474
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:16,919
Speaker 10: So we need to deal with this. President Trump had

475
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 10: the guts to do, so I'm grateful for what he's

476
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 10: actually absolutely done the last week.

477
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, this whole debate over the idea of whether it

478
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 1: was an imminent threat, I mean, it seems sort of

479
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:27,640
Speaker 1: silly to me and semantics.

480
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 2: Of course, it was an imminent threat. They had a.

481
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: Ballistic missile program, they have a tack drone program. They

482
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: told our negotiators that they had enough nuclear material to

483
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 1: make eleven nuclear bombs.

484
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 2: Of course it's an eminent threat.

485
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 10: They thought that was a negotiating tactic, saying we have eleven.

486
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 10: Are you kidding me? I mean that's what they told

487
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 10: Witcoff and Jared Kushner in very real, very sincere negotiations

488
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 10: that they went into hoping not to get to this.

489
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:56,120
Speaker 10: But it's a different type of logic altogether from their Indians.

490
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 1: What's kind of shocking to me in the debates going

491
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,040
Speaker 1: on in Washington. You had a war powers vote in

492
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 1: the Senate that was a knockdown. They had one in

493
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 1: the House last night. But in these debates, Democrats almost

494
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 1: or more than almost in some cases, sound like they're

495
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 1: rooting for American failure.

496
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 2: It's kind of crazy, isn't not.

497
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,880
Speaker 10: Yeah, they're off their rocker. I mean, they hate Trump

498
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 10: more than they love America. And you can see that

499
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 10: exactly in so many issues, whether it's the immigration issue,

500
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 10: whether it's dealing with Ron.

501
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 1: There's a lot of focus on the air campaign, but

502
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,399
Speaker 1: there are also things going on at sea. Let's listen

503
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: to Admiral Brad Cooper here. This is cut number six,

504
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 1: and we'll get our reaction to that.

505
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 11: Our strikes against the Iranian Navy have intensified. You may

506
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 11: have heard the President say just a little while ago that, Dewie,

507
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,400
Speaker 11: we have Sunker destroyed twenty four ships. That was true

508
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 11: at the moment. We're now up over thirty ships, and

509
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 11: in just the last few hours we hit an Iranian

510
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 11: drone carrier ship roughly the size of a World War

511
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 11: Two aircraft carrier, and as we speak, it's on fire.

512
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,879
Speaker 1: You know, Senator, if you're I don't know, say China,

513
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 1: and you're watching what the US Air Force can do,

514
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,159
Speaker 1: you're watching what the US Navy can do. This is

515
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 1: a pretty strong message to I think our number one

516
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,159
Speaker 1: geopolitical adversary, don't try this.

517
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:14,360
Speaker 12: Well.

518
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 10: Trump's been very decisive. We realize that, I mean, there

519
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 10: will be a day in America's future where he ultimately

520
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,199
Speaker 10: will not be our president. So the strength that we

521
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 10: have now and the strength that President Trump has given

522
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 10: us by rebuilding our military, allows us to persevere even

523
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 10: beyond twenty twenty eight. So I'm thankful for President Trump.

524
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 10: He is solving so many issues. I think about one

525
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 10: of our founding fathers, Thomas Paine, who said, if there's

526
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 10: to be trouble, let it be in my day so

527
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 10: that my children might have peace. I really think that's

528
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 10: how President Trump operates. Let's solve a problem now, So

529
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,439
Speaker 10: that our kids and our grandkids don't have this same problem.

530
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 10: And I really think it puts the PRC. It puts

531
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 10: China just on watch to take us very seriously. We

532
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 10: want peace, but again we do it through strength the.

533
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 1: Voice you're hearing Senator Ted Budd of the Great State

534
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:01,160
Speaker 1: of North Carolina.

535
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:02,400
Speaker 2: One more question on the war.

536
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 1: Right as it was starting, we had a dispute going

537
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 1: on between the Pentagon and a company called Anthropic, which

538
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:11,680
Speaker 1: is an artificial intelligence company.

539
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 2: We've been using Anthropic.

540
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 1: We got into a dispute with them over what we

541
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 1: were going to do with that, and ultimately the President

542
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 1: fired Anthropic. It doesn't appear to have impeded our military activities.

543
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 1: What's your view about this whole situation with Anthropic AI

544
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:30,680
Speaker 1: and how it impacts our military readiness?

545
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,199
Speaker 10: Well, most people from the app store know it is clawed,

546
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 10: but it has been used by the Department of Defense,

547
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 10: Department of War for the last couple of years. It's

548
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 10: a great tool, but they really wanted control over what

549
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 10: the Department of War was able to do. And let's

550
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 10: remember they are not the arbiters of defense policy. The

551
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 10: civilian led military is. The President Trump is commander in

552
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 10: Chief Department of War is a civilian. The secretary is

553
00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 10: so they need to be in charge. The people that

554
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 10: were could not anthropic and so they were asking for

555
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 10: too much power in the equation. And I really think

556
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 10: it should be up to the president and the civilian

557
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 10: appointed Secretary of War. Look, it's a great tool, but

558
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:13,719
Speaker 10: there are many great tools. I mean, if you look

559
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:17,479
Speaker 10: at XAI, you look at chat, GPT, you look at

560
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 10: Google's GEM and I I mean, all these folks are

561
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 10: developing fantastic tools, all with different strengths and weaknesses. We

562
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 10: need to make them part of the picture for our defense.

563
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 10: But again, they are not These programmers, these tech savvy

564
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 10: folks are not the ones that need to be driving

565
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 10: defense policy for the United States.

566
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 1: That's Ted budd He occupies one of North Carolina's Senate seats.

567
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: The other one is occupied currently by Tom Tillis, but

568
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 1: he's retiring and there's an open seat. And senator folks

569
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 1: are saying, you're no stranger to expensive races. You had

570
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: one for the Senate which you won. People are saying

571
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 1: this could be a one billion dollar Senate race in

572
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 1: North Carolina.

573
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 10: That's a lot of inflation in North Carolina.

574
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 1: First of all, why haven't we just all the TV

575
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 1: stations in North Carolina would be my first question. Second second,

576
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 1: I mean, is that really on the horizon here? Could

577
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 1: we see a billion dollars spent.

578
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 2: In the Senate race.

579
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 10: I'm not going to make financial predictions, but i am

580
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 10: going to say that there is no free path from

581
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 10: the ex governorship into the Senate. We've seen a Republican

582
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 10: try to do it. You can go back to the

583
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 10: Jim Hunt days and see him fail moving from the

584
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 10: governorship to the Senate. You saw Roy Cooper leave and

585
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 10: not leave in good condition. He really mismanaged Hurricane Helene

586
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 10: in western North Carolina dropped the ball there. We're still

587
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 10: kind of picking up the pieces from that. In western

588
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 10: North Carolina, we saw the horrendous killing of a beautiful

589
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 10: young girl who fled Ukraine, come to Charlotte to be

590
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 10: with the safety of her family, was building a life,

591
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 10: and then was killed by somebody that has sent that.

592
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 10: Cooper had cut a deal on he let during COVID.

593
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 10: He cut a deal with the NAACP to let out

594
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 10: thirty five hundred convicted individuals and including the killer of

595
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 10: Rena Zarusko. So it's a heartbreaking. I know Trump recognized

596
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 10: that the mother and the family at the State of

597
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 10: the Union. So look, that's a situation that should have

598
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 10: never occurred. But under President Trump, we're safer. Under policies

599
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 10: like Michael Wattley would support, we're going to be safer.

600
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 10: He's from western North Carolina. He is a local North

601
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 10: Carolinian born and raised there. Knows every single county droves

602
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 10: a pickup truck with a couple hundred thousand miles and

603
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 10: you know, we work to outwork each other in the state,

604
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 10: but it's hard to do. He he he's going to

605
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 10: be a great Senate. Well, you know, he's going to

606
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 10: play like he is an old Chucks tobacco farmer, but

607
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 10: he's not. You know, he did not leave North Carolina

608
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 10: in great shape. And you know, I think we've got

609
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 10: a lot better options than Michael Wattley.

610
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I totally agree with you.

611
00:31:57,040 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 1: Thanks Ted bud Us, Senator from the State of Carolina.

612
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 1: Hang out for just one second while I tell our

613
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 1: listeners about my wireless company, a great company called Patriot Mobile.

614
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile does two things. They offer amazing wireless service.

615
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 1: They also support your values. They invest in your values.

616
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 1: They take your cell phone bill, and they invest some

617
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 1: of that money into causes that you care about, Christian

618
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 1: conservative causes. You don't have to worry about service. You're

619
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 1: gonna get the same great service on all the major

620
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 1: US carries. You might even get better service. You can

621
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 1: get unlimited data, you get hotspots, you get everything you need.

Speaker 2: Hey, it's Scott.

635
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:10,560

639
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 1: for a resolution in the new year. It's kind of

640
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 1: tough to stick with New Year's resolutions, and that's why

641
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 1: Balance of Nature's Whole Health System supplements are one of

Speaker 1: the easiest ways to do it. They're very versatile. You

643
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 1: do two scoops of fiber and spice and mix it

644
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 1: easily into drinks and it adds a warm, aromatic depth.

645
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 1: You can also open three of your fruit supplements and

646
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 1: mix the powder into a smoothie, or sprinkle three of

647
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 1: the veggie supplements over one of the savory dishes that

648
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 1: you're having for dinner. It's called Balance of Nature's Whole

655
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 1: We're broadcasting from Palm Beach, Florida, and tonight. The reason

656
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 1: I'm here is because I've been invited to talk to

657
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:24,360
Speaker 1: the Club for Growth tonight. They're having an economic conference,

658
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 1: so I thought i'd invite on the head of the

659
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 1: Club for Growth, David McIntosh is here. David, you founded

660
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:33,879
Speaker 1: not one but two major conservative organizations, the Club for Growth,

661
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,240
Speaker 1: which we'll talk about now, but also the Federalist Society.

662
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:39,720
Speaker 1: You're congressman from the great state of Indiana at one time.

663
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 2: Really appreciate the invitation to be here.

664
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 1: If you tell our listeners a little bit about what

665
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 1: Club for Growth is focused on in this midterm.

666
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, absolutely, thank you for having me on. We love

667
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:52,360
Speaker 6: watching you.

668
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:52,840
Speaker 9: Thank you.

669
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's great.

670
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:55,759
Speaker 5: So.

671
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:59,959
Speaker 6: Club for Growth is now the largest free market conservative group.

672
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:03,280
Speaker 6: Last election, we brought one hundred and sixty million into

673
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 6: it eighty percent of our races. Our focus is on supporting, electing,

674
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 6: and promoting champions for freedom, free markets in the economy,

675
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 6: individual liberty, and limited government. And at the conference you'll

676
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 6: get a chance to meet them. We've had a tremendous

677
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 6: success over the years. Ted Cruz Mike Lee were early

678
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 6: victories that we had. They're now chairmen in the Senate

679
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 6: of key committees and so and we've got a whole

680
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 6: group of new members that were supporting and occasionally we

681
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 6: have to take out some bad guys. You know. In

682
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:45,440
Speaker 6: Texas last Tuesday they had their primaries and there's a

683
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:49,840
Speaker 6: longtime rhino, a guy named Dan Crenshaw, who promised his

684
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 6: voters he'd be a conservative. You thought he would be

685
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 6: He's a seal, served his country that way, but he

686
00:35:56,760 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 6: turned out to be a modern in Congress, and so

687
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:04,319
Speaker 6: a young man, Steve Toath, challenged him. We knew that

688
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 6: if Club for Growth came in, all of the establishment

689
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 6: would come in and give him tons of money, so

690
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 6: we quietly did it under a different super pack and

691
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 6: Steve ended up winning that primer.

692
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 1: Interesting this David McIntosh, by the way, head of the

693
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 1: Club for Growth, here on the Scott Jennings Show. What

694
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:24,279
Speaker 1: are you focused on in the fall. What kind of

695
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 1: races do you think are going to catch most of

696
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 1: your attention.

697
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 6: It's critical that we keep the majority in the House.

698
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 6: Right now, the Democrats are targeting a lot of our members,

699
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 6: and so we're going to raise a fund probably about

700
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 6: fifty sixty million to make sure that the good guys

701
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 6: can win and we keep the majority.

702
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 2: You all are champions for smaller government.

703
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:54,759
Speaker 1: Yes, something that's going on that I feel like conservatives

704
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:58,920
Speaker 1: aren't talking about enough and celebrating enough. And you may

705
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 1: have missed this out there in our audience. The federal

706
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 1: government is smaller than it has been since nineteen sixty

707
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:09,840
Speaker 1: six and is a percentage of the workforce, it's the

708
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:13,919
Speaker 1: smallest that it's ever been. Every Republican I ever worked

709
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 1: for my whole career is said they were going to

710
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 1: shrink the government.

711
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 2: Trump finally did it.

712
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:20,800
Speaker 6: He did. It's been incredible. He also cut out thousands

713
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:24,279
Speaker 6: of pages of regulation. They think that probably saved US

714
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 6: five trillion dollars of cost on American business. And for

715
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:32,839
Speaker 6: the first time ever, we're starting to see repeal of

716
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:38,280
Speaker 6: bad regulations and rolling it back. You're right, Republicans always

717
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:41,319
Speaker 6: say we're for smaller government, and then their appropriators come

718
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 6: in and join the Democrats and spend more money.

719
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

720
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:48,760
Speaker 1: This shrinking of the government by Trump, and it's interesting

721
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 1: because it's happening simultaneous to a rebalancing of the economy.

722
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 2: Under Biden, there was a lot.

723
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 1: Of emphasis on growing government jobs, more federal jobs, more

724
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 1: state and local government jobs. Under Trump and the Republicans

725
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 1: right now, the emphasis on shrinking government but increasing private sector.

726
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 1: Are you generally happy with the president's economic approach so far.

727
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:13,240
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, I think he's done a tremendous jobs. He's

728
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 6: unlaunched enormous in new investments. He's grown the economy. First

729
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 6: three quarters last year the economy grew at over four percent,

730
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:26,359
Speaker 6: that's a record, and business investment grew by about three

731
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,840
Speaker 6: point seven percent. And we have the largest number of

732
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:33,719
Speaker 6: people working in private sector jobs than we've ever had.

733
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 1: If you could give we got about thirty seconds. If

734
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 1: you could give the US Congress one piece of advice

735
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,800
Speaker 1: what they need to do right now to help the

736
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 1: American people and help the Republican cause this fall.

737
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 2: What would it be.

738
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:49,759
Speaker 6: I think it would be to address affordability. The Democrats

739
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,240
Speaker 6: are saying, oh, you know, all this inflation that Biden

740
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 6: created made life unaffordable. We're going to bring in socialism

741
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:58,400
Speaker 6: and make it affordable. They need to nail that and

742
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 6: say we have a better plan for cheaper gas prices,

743
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 6: cheaper housing, cheaper gas, and then frankly, we need to

744
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:07,759
Speaker 6: run on the campaign. You can't let them back in

745
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 6: the door. Yeah you do, And now all of it

746
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 6: will come to a halt. You'll pay more taxes, you'll

747
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:15,880
Speaker 6: pay harder prices again, you'll lose your job. We have

748
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:17,799
Speaker 6: to clearly draw that contrast.

749
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 1: That voice you're hearing former Congressman and now head of

750
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 1: the Club for Growth, one of the most influential outside

751
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 1: groups in American politics, David McIntosh. David, thanks for the

Speaker 6: the time.

755
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 2: Love it, sir.

756
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 1: We're going to take a break top of the hour break.

757
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 1: We've got more to come. It's common sense for the

758
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 1: American people. Scott Jennings is here in Florida, stay with us.

759
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:42,880
Speaker 1: It's common sense for the American people. Here on Friday,

00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 1: March the sixth, we're broadcasting live from Palm Beach, Florida,

765
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 1: We've already had an amazing show today with great guests,

766
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 1: and we're grateful for everybody. Stop, but I wanted to

767
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:02,840
Speaker 1: get into the news with you all just a little

768
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:06,880
Speaker 1: bit and checking the headlines. The White House has announced

769
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:11,880
Speaker 1: that President Trump will attend the dignified transfer of the

770
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:14,799
Speaker 1: six US service members who have been killed so far

771
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:18,760
Speaker 1: in Operation Epic Fury. This is our attack on Iran,

772
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 1: So the President will go to the base and see

773
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 1: their bodies return to American soil. White House Press Secretary

774
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:29,120
Speaker 1: Caroline Levitt spoke to the media today. She made some

775
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:32,319
Speaker 1: comments on the war. Let's hear from miss Levitt and

776
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:33,360
Speaker 1: cut number eleven.

777
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:36,440
Speaker 13: As for the future of Iran, as the President has

778
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:38,759
Speaker 13: pointed to, of course, it's in the best interest of

779
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 13: the United States of America for Iran to no longer

780
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 13: be led by a radical terrorist regime that chance death

781
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 13: to America and is lying to the United States and

782
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:51,280
Speaker 13: the world about their secret ambitions to possess a nuclear bomb.

783
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 13: President Trump does not want to see that. He wants

784
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 13: to take an interest in pursuing who the next leader

785
00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:00,960
Speaker 13: of the Iranian country is going to be, and that

786
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:03,360
Speaker 13: has yet to be seen, and the President is discussing

787
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 13: it and deliberating it now.

788
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 1: Iranian retaliatory attacks appear to be declining. Ballistic missile strikes

789
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 1: have fallen by ninety percent since the beginning of the war.

790
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:20,240
Speaker 1: Drone attacks have fallen by eighty three percent. This coming

791
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 1: from US Central Command. This is going to ease pressure

792
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 1: on the other Gulf states there in the region who

793
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:32,400
Speaker 1: have faced these attacks from Iran. So right now we

794
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 1: have near American air superiority over the skies of Iran.

795
00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 1: We have declining retaliatory strikes from Iran. By all accounts,

796
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 1: the US Israeli military effort is going well. A major

797
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:48,720
Speaker 1: underground bunker was destroyed by Israel today. This was under

798
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 1: the Iatola's compound. It was thought that there were some

799
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:56,840
Speaker 1: Iranian regime officials in there, so Israel destroyed that. The

800
00:41:56,920 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 1: United States is also dropping two thousand pound bombs on

801
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:03,440
Speaker 1: Tehran and in other sites where they believe there are

802
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:08,400
Speaker 1: underground ballistic missile launchers. Back in Washington, there was a

803
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:13,920
Speaker 1: resolution in the House of Representatives yesterday, and this is crazy.

804
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:20,719
Speaker 1: Fifty three Democrats voted against reaffirming this idea that the

805
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:25,840
Speaker 1: Islamic Republican Republic of Iran is the world's largest state

806
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 1: sponsor of terror.

807
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 2: That was the resolution.

808
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 1: It's a non binding resolution, so it's essentially a messaging document.

809
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:37,800
Speaker 1: The message was that Iran is the world's largest state

810
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 1: sponsor of terrorism.

811
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 2: Pretty simple thing.

812
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 1: But fifty three Democrats, including Representative Alexandria Ocassio Cortez Ilhan

813
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:50,400
Speaker 1: omar Iona Presley and Rashida Talaib.

814
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 2: All those are members of the squad.

815
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 1: They, along with several dozen other House members, voted against

816
00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 1: the idea that Iran is a state sponsor of terror.

817
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 1: President Trump called up my CNN colleague Dana Bash this morning.

818
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 1: They had a phone call. The call wasn't recorded, but

819
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 1: Dana Bash talked on the air today about what the

820
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:12,839
Speaker 1: President told her. You're going to want to hear this

821
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,200
Speaker 1: if you care about what's going on in Cuba. Let's

822
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:16,640
Speaker 1: listen to that and cut number eight.

823
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 12: He quickly turned to Cuba. He said, without being asked,

824
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:24,319
Speaker 12: Cuba is going to fall pretty soon, by the way,

825
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 12: but Cuba is going to fall. They want to make

826
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:30,320
Speaker 12: a deal so badly. And I asked how so he said,

827
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:32,239
Speaker 12: they want to make a deal. So I'm going to

828
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:35,120
Speaker 12: put Marco over there and we'll see how that works.

829
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 12: But we're really focused on this one now, meaning Iran.

830
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 12: It's got plenty of time on Cuba.

831
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:45,760
Speaker 1: So even as we prosecute the war and Iran, President

832
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:49,960
Speaker 1: still keeping his eye on the Western hemisphere, specifically looking

833
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:53,719
Speaker 1: for changes in Cuba and referencing there that Secretary of

834
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 1: State Marco Rubio will be heavily involved in that. Democrats

835
00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 1: still none too pleased with any of this, and as

836
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:04,839
Speaker 1: they plot to win the November mid term, the priorities

837
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:08,439
Speaker 1: of the Democratic Party are becoming more clear by the day.

838
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:11,560
Speaker 1: This is California Congressman Roe Conna. You need to hear this.

839
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:15,360
Speaker 1: He admits it. The Democrats first priority if they regain

840
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 1: the majority, will be to impeach Donald Trump.

841
00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 2: This is cut number five. So the ultimate consequence for

842
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 2: Trump would be impeaching him.

843
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:25,800
Speaker 9: Do you think this rises to the level of impeachment.

844
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:29,120
Speaker 2: Well, He's done so much else that I think rises

845
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:29,920
Speaker 2: the level of impeacher.

846
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:31,439
Speaker 6: We can list that in the Bill of Goods.

847
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 4: I even one of the people who do think if

848
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 4: we win the House, we should impeach him because there

849
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:37,560
Speaker 4: has to be accountability.

850
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:39,839
Speaker 2: That's Roe Conna from California.

851
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 1: He certainly speaks for a great many Democrats over on

852
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:47,440
Speaker 1: the House Republican Conference side. A little political news, Congressman

853
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:53,160
Speaker 1: Tony Gonzales of Texas is dropping his reelection bid. Now

854
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:56,200
Speaker 1: Tony Gonzalez, we talked about this on the show yesterday.

855
00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:59,400
Speaker 1: Is it incumbent Congressman? He was just involved in the

856
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 1: Texas prime Mary He was forced into a runoff against

857
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:07,080
Speaker 1: a challenger named Brandon Herrera. But Tony Gonzalez has been

858
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:10,239
Speaker 1: involved in an ethics problem. It's been found and he

859
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 1: has admitted that he had a sexual personal relationship with

860
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:18,080
Speaker 1: a staff member in his office. This is a violation

861
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:21,920
Speaker 1: of the House ethics rules. Yesterday, while we were on

862
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 1: the air, the House Republican leadership asked Tony Gonzalez to

863
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 1: drop out of his race, and as of right now,

864
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:33,440
Speaker 1: Tony Gonzalez has acquiesced to that demand, So that clears

865
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:36,759
Speaker 1: the way for Brandon Herrera to be the Republican nominee

866
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:41,200
Speaker 1: and most likely Republican congressman from that district in Texas.

867
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 1: We had a jobs report today and frankly, the news

868
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:48,360
Speaker 1: was not good. Ninety two thousand jobs were lost. However,

869
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:52,279
Speaker 1: the president's top economic advisor, Kevin Hassett, is saying there

870
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:55,640
Speaker 1: are other positive indicators in the data. Let's listen to

871
00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:57,080
Speaker 1: Kevin here in cut number ten.

872
00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:00,279
Speaker 4: You know, Jim's right that there have been so many

873
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 4: strong indicators this month that it's something of a surprise.

874
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 4: But there are some weather there are strikes on the

875
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:09,960
Speaker 4: West coast, and I think that we also have this

876
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:13,640
Speaker 4: birth death model, a change in the procedure at the BLS,

877
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:15,359
Speaker 4: and so I think what we need to start doing

878
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:17,439
Speaker 4: with these jobs numbers, at least on the payroll side,

879
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 4: is take the average over a few months. And if

880
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:21,160
Speaker 4: you take the average over a few months, we had

881
00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:24,880
Speaker 4: a surprisingly positive one last month and a surprisingly negative

882
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:27,799
Speaker 4: one this one. But on average, it's about what we

883
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:30,759
Speaker 4: expect to be seeing because immigration has gone down by

884
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:33,879
Speaker 4: so much that break even employment is probably in the

885
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:36,919
Speaker 4: sort of thirty or forty thousand jobs a month range.

886
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 4: And so yeah, I think it's consistent with everything else

887
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:41,840
Speaker 4: we're seeing, which is that the economy is really strong.

888
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:46,279
Speaker 4: And the headline for me is something that I'm sure

889
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 4: you guys probably already noticed, is that productivity is about

890
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:53,200
Speaker 4: the highest we've ever seen, and manufacturing wages are up

891
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:55,400
Speaker 4: a year over year by twenty four hundred dollars.

892
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:59,920
Speaker 1: Now, as President's top economic advisor, Kevin has It brought

893
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:04,720
Speaker 1: off today's negative jobs report. President's also replacing his Homeland

894
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:09,080
Speaker 1: Security Secretary, Christy Noam is out. That announcement was made yesterday.

895
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:11,560
Speaker 1: She'll be out as of March thirty first, and to

896
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:16,960
Speaker 1: be replaced by Oklahoma Republican Senator Mark Wayne Mullen, and

897
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:19,200
Speaker 1: he'll go in first as acting he'll have to face

898
00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:20,160
Speaker 1: Senate confirmation.

899
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:23,000
Speaker 2: Will he get some Democratic votes? It sounds like it.

900
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:26,919
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman says he plans to support Mark

901
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 1: Wayne Mullen.

902
00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:29,480
Speaker 2: And I want you to listen to this.

903
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:33,120
Speaker 1: This is Democrat Senator Peter Welch praising the President's pick

904
00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:34,280
Speaker 1: here and cut number seven.

905
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:35,880
Speaker 2: He'll be confirmed.

906
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:38,759
Speaker 5: The question is whether they'll be bipartised to support for him.

907
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:41,840
Speaker 2: And Mark Wayne Mullen is competent and he's.

908
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:48,839
Speaker 1: Honest, getting some kudos and some plaudits from his Democratic

909
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:51,799
Speaker 1: colleagues in the US Senate. One final story to bring

910
00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:54,400
Speaker 1: to you here. In our first segment, you may have

911
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:58,200
Speaker 1: heard of a congressman named Seth Moulton of Massachusetts. At

912
00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 1: one time, Seth Moulton will was discussed as something of

913
00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:05,400
Speaker 1: a moderate Democrat. That certainly has changed in the last

914
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:08,279
Speaker 1: couple of years. At the President's State of the Union

915
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:11,520
Speaker 1: address just a few days ago, he decided to invite

916
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:16,640
Speaker 1: as his guest an illegal immigrant named Marcelo Gomus de Silva.

917
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:20,560
Speaker 1: So Seth Moulton brought an illegal immigrant to the US

918
00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:23,719
Speaker 1: capital if that weren't bad enough, it turns out that

919
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:27,080
Speaker 1: this illegal immigrant is involved in some sort of a

920
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:33,080
Speaker 1: police report citing sexual assault and juveniles. That's according to

921
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:37,440
Speaker 1: the report. The Boston Herald is reporting that the Milford

922
00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:42,000
Speaker 1: Police Department, however, is denying a public records request for

923
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:46,400
Speaker 1: these reports because it does involve juvenile. So the headline

924
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:49,439
Speaker 1: news here is a Democrat member of Congress named Seth

925
00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:52,680
Speaker 1: Moulton brought an illegal immigrant to the US capital for

926
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:55,960
Speaker 1: the president's speech, and this person's name shows up in

927
00:48:56,040 --> 00:49:01,040
Speaker 1: police records involving sexual assault and juvenile We're going.

928
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:01,680
Speaker 2: To take a break.

929
00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:04,520
Speaker 1: When we come back, we have the relief factor Pain

930
00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:06,960
Speaker 1: of the Week. It's common sense for the American people.

931
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:08,600
Speaker 1: I'm Scott Jennings, Life from Florida.

932
00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:12,480
Speaker 7: Stay with us fighting for free speech at Western Civilization.

933
00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:14,200
Speaker 9: This is the Scott Jenny Show.

934
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:17,839
Speaker 2: It is Friday, March sixth. I've got a message, by

935
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:18,320
Speaker 2: the way.

936
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:20,640
Speaker 1: That every parent and every grandparent needs to hear, and

937
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:23,600
Speaker 1: it is that kids are being targeted online through these

938
00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:27,879
Speaker 1: gaming platforms, social media and messaging app and our friends

939
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:30,359
Speaker 1: and partners at Child Help they hear from these kids

940
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:34,879
Speaker 1: who've been targeted every single day. They are groomed, they

941
00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:38,040
Speaker 1: are manipulated, and they are threatened by adults who are

942
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:41,640
Speaker 1: pretending to be someone else. One boy called up the

943
00:49:41,719 --> 00:49:46,719
Speaker 1: child Help hotline and he was terrified and ashamed. He

944
00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:49,840
Speaker 1: had encountered an adult in one of these online games,

945
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:54,480
Speaker 1: and that adult groomed him and then asked him, demanded

946
00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:57,640
Speaker 1: from him photos, and then he threatened to lie to

947
00:49:57,719 --> 00:50:00,759
Speaker 1: the boy's parents if he did not comply. You can

948
00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:03,960
Speaker 1: imagine what happened. The boy was scared, he was ashamed.

949
00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:08,279
Speaker 1: He got in touch with child Help, and that call

950
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:12,360
Speaker 1: to child Help, frankly, may have saved that boy's life.

951
00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:15,560
Speaker 1: That's why I support child Help. It's why you should

952
00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:18,800
Speaker 1: as well. If you make a twenty seven dollars donation

953
00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:23,640
Speaker 1: that funds one of these contacts between a child who

954
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:26,719
Speaker 1: is in distress and the child abuse hotline.

955
00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:28,960
Speaker 2: The hotline, by the way, it can be phoned.

956
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:31,600
Speaker 1: They also have a texting hotline, They have an online chat,

957
00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:33,960
Speaker 1: They have numerous ways for kids to get in touch.

958
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:38,040
Speaker 1: Child help is talking to kids who are being abused,

959
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:40,560
Speaker 1: who are being groomed, who are in danger, and they

960
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:44,439
Speaker 1: are saving their lives. That's why I support child Help.

961
00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:47,399
Speaker 1: Twenty seven dollars. That's all we're asking for here. Go

Speaker 2: Donation by doing that today.

966
00:50:57,360 --> 00:51:00,719
Speaker 1: Well, it is Friday afternoon and on the sky Jetting show.

967
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:05,680
Speaker 1: That means it is time, Hollywood Sean for the relief

968
00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:08,480
Speaker 1: factor political pain of the week.

969
00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:14,160
Speaker 9: Per no, the relief factor pain of the week.

970
00:51:19,239 --> 00:51:21,520
Speaker 1: I wonder every week if the person that is in

971
00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:26,160
Speaker 1: such duress on our banner there has gotten any Really,

972
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:28,360
Speaker 1: I hope he has, because he sounds terrible.

973
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:30,320
Speaker 2: Frankly, every week we're.

974
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:34,279
Speaker 1: Going to highlight a person, politician, or organization that is

975
00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:38,719
Speaker 1: causing me or our country some sort of pain. And

976
00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:41,520
Speaker 1: if you have spent any time paying attention to politics

977
00:51:41,560 --> 00:51:44,760
Speaker 1: over the last decade, you know that the Democratic Party

978
00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:49,200
Speaker 1: has one clear mission. If Donald Trump supports it, we

979
00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:52,959
Speaker 1: oppose it. And for that reason, I am making Congressional

980
00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:57,600
Speaker 1: Democrats our relief factor pain of the week, because they

981
00:51:57,680 --> 00:52:02,360
Speaker 1: can't break free of the idea that if Donald Trump

982
00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:05,480
Speaker 1: is for it, we have to be against it. So

983
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:08,360
Speaker 1: what is their latest reflexive anti Trump position?

984
00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:10,240
Speaker 2: It is Iran.

985
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:13,960
Speaker 1: They like to stop the military action against Iran, even

986
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:16,800
Speaker 1: though that country is an eminent threat, has a ballistic

987
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:20,320
Speaker 1: missile program, is building nuclear weapons, and has been targeting

988
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:23,200
Speaker 1: the United States and chanting death to America for forty

989
00:52:23,239 --> 00:52:23,840
Speaker 1: seven years.

990
00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:26,600
Speaker 2: Democrats apparently think this is all fine.

991
00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:28,840
Speaker 1: In fact, on CNN this week, I was told several

992
00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:33,040
Speaker 1: times by many people that Iran was not an eminent threat.

993
00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:38,360
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm sorry. They're not. The guys who've been channing

994
00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:42,920
Speaker 2: death to America for five decades, who were building nuclear weapons,

995
00:52:42,920 --> 00:52:46,279
Speaker 2: who told our own negotiators they had enough material for

996
00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:49,839
Speaker 2: eleven nuclear weapons. They don't pose an eminent threat to

997
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:53,640
Speaker 2: the United States, to Israel, to most people in the world.

998
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:57,200
Speaker 2: The guys who are constantly firing ballistic missiles and building

999
00:52:57,200 --> 00:53:00,520
Speaker 2: ballistic missiles factories, the guys who are used one way

1000
00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:05,000
Speaker 2: attack drones, they don't pose an imminent threat. Give me

1001
00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:05,480
Speaker 2: a break.

1002
00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:08,920
Speaker 1: And Democrats now have taken to calling this war like

1003
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:13,240
Speaker 1: they do everything else Donald Trump does, illegal and unconstitutional.

1004
00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:15,319
Speaker 2: But is it, of course not.

1005
00:53:15,440 --> 00:53:18,560
Speaker 1: Here's how Speaker Mike Johnson making the clear case about

1006
00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:20,359
Speaker 1: what the president's powers actually are.

1007
00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:21,200
Speaker 2: Cut number two.

1008
00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:24,160
Speaker 14: There's no question about this. The Democrats never had any

1009
00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:28,320
Speaker 14: question about it when Democrat presidents were using this authority.

1010
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:31,680
Speaker 14: When you look at the analysis of the War Powers

1011
00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:34,319
Speaker 14: Act and the law that applies and the powers that

1012
00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:36,000
Speaker 14: are given to the commander in chief under Article two

1013
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:39,319
Speaker 14: of the Constitution, president Trump has done exactly what he

1014
00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:42,560
Speaker 14: should do. He is squarely within the law. He used

1015
00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:45,040
Speaker 14: his discretion and his authority and the intelligence that he

1016
00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:48,520
Speaker 14: had exquisite as it was, as its demonstrated by its effectiveness,

1017
00:53:48,719 --> 00:53:50,120
Speaker 14: and he did what he should have done as a

1018
00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:50,839
Speaker 14: commander in chief.

1019
00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:54,160
Speaker 2: That's the current Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson.

1020
00:53:54,200 --> 00:53:57,240
Speaker 1: But if that is not convincing enough for you, let's

1021
00:53:57,239 --> 00:54:01,040
Speaker 1: listen to a former Speaker of the House Democrat named

1022
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:04,480
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi. Here's what she said about President Obama's use

1023
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:06,719
Speaker 1: of the same powers back in twenty eleven in cut

1024
00:54:06,760 --> 00:54:07,279
Speaker 1: number three.

1025
00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:09,879
Speaker 6: So those figure the latter.

1026
00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:11,280
Speaker 9: But itam leader, you're saying.

1027
00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:16,000
Speaker 8: That the president did not need authorization initially and still

1028
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:18,600
Speaker 8: does not need any authorization from Congress.

1029
00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:20,560
Speaker 9: One Libya.

1030
00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:23,640
Speaker 12: Yes, thank you, Bill, thank you all very much.

1031
00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:26,400
Speaker 2: A clear yes from Nancy Pelosi.

1032
00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:28,880
Speaker 1: The CBS News poll from this week found that seventy

1033
00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:31,759
Speaker 1: six percent of respondents approve of this military action if

1034
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:34,279
Speaker 1: it lasts only a few weeks or days. We're a

1035
00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:36,400
Speaker 1: bit but just a few days into it and the

1036
00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:41,320
Speaker 1: military is performing swimmingly. So for all of these reasons,

1037
00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:44,960
Speaker 1: the reflexive opposition to Trump and the apparent siding with

1038
00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:50,480
Speaker 1: Iran against America and our ally Israel. Congressional democrats are

1039
00:54:50,560 --> 00:54:52,560

1044
00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:06,839
Speaker 7: Conversation said stories you simply won't hear from the mainstream media.

1045
00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:08,560
Speaker 7: It's the Scott Jenny Show.

1046
00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:13,280
Speaker 1: We are in the home stretch here on Friday afternoon,

1047
00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:14,240
Speaker 1: March the sixth.

1048
00:55:14,239 --> 00:55:16,280
Speaker 2: That is common sense for the American people.

Speaker 1: every Friday, we wrap up the week with some Friday punditry.

1052
00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:31,680
Speaker 1: Joining me as the pundit of the week. Good friend,

1053
00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:36,319
Speaker 1: Editor in chief of the National Review, Rich Lowry is

1054
00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:38,200
Speaker 1: here to kick around the news of the week.

1055
00:55:38,239 --> 00:55:39,399
Speaker 2: Welcome back to the show, Rich.

1056
00:55:40,520 --> 00:55:43,000
Speaker 15: Thanks great honor to be pundit of the week undeserved,

1057
00:55:43,040 --> 00:55:44,560
Speaker 15: but I'll take it anyway.

1058
00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:47,400
Speaker 2: Well, you were the pundit of the week that was available.

1059
00:55:47,520 --> 00:55:51,600
Speaker 2: So that's what we're that's what we're doing today. All right,

1060
00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:52,560
Speaker 2: big news of the week.

1061
00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:56,360
Speaker 1: As we were going off the air last Friday, a

1062
00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:59,959
Speaker 1: week ago today, based on the timeline that I've seen,

1063
00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:02,440
Speaker 1: the President was at that moment making the decision to

1064
00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:06,279
Speaker 1: begin striking Iran. We all woke up Saturday morning to

1065
00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:10,680
Speaker 1: massive air strikes. That bombardment of Rich has continued all

1066
00:56:10,680 --> 00:56:11,239
Speaker 1: week long.

1067
00:56:11,320 --> 00:56:12,319
Speaker 2: Let's just start here.

1068
00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:16,520
Speaker 1: Did the President make the right decision to strike Iran?

1069
00:56:18,480 --> 00:56:20,640
Speaker 15: I think you did. I think Marco Rubio's case he

1070
00:56:20,680 --> 00:56:22,600
Speaker 15: had to do this eventually is the correct one. They're

1071
00:56:22,600 --> 00:56:25,320
Speaker 15: rebuilding their missile stocks, something they can do quite readily,

1072
00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:27,680
Speaker 15: and they're doing at a rapid clip, and if they

1073
00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:30,359
Speaker 15: got to a certain critical point there, it'd be very

1074
00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:32,160
Speaker 15: hard to do anything to stop them from getting a

1075
00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:34,480
Speaker 15: nuclear weapon because would be so painful. They'd have such

1076
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:37,560
Speaker 15: a deterrent force. With these missiles we've seen, they've been

1077
00:56:37,560 --> 00:56:39,400
Speaker 15: able to exact some pain just with the missiles and

1078
00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:41,879
Speaker 15: drones they have, so I think this was the right call.

1079
00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:44,680
Speaker 15: I have some misgivings and some criticisms. I wish they

1080
00:56:44,680 --> 00:56:47,640
Speaker 15: had made more of a public case. I wish they'd

1081
00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:50,279
Speaker 15: actually go to Congress and got an authorization, although I

1082
00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:55,560
Speaker 15: don't think it's legally mandated, but operationally so far it's

1083
00:56:55,600 --> 00:56:58,880
Speaker 15: been quite successful. Now they're going to be some economic

1084
00:56:58,920 --> 00:57:01,360
Speaker 15: cost to this. What the Iranians are counting on to

1085
00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:04,360
Speaker 15: eventually stay Donald Trump's hands. But even if he doesn't

1086
00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:07,600
Speaker 15: change the regime or get a more pliable regime, he's

1087
00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:10,640
Speaker 15: certainly got to flatten their nuclear program, a lot of

1088
00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:14,360
Speaker 15: the missile capabilities their navy that's already happened, and a

1089
00:57:14,360 --> 00:57:17,040
Speaker 15: lot of their military capabilities. So I think it's all

1090
00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:19,000
Speaker 15: to the good rich.

1091
00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:22,000
Speaker 1: What do you think about Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.

1092
00:57:22,240 --> 00:57:24,920
Speaker 1: So far, he's had a few briefings this week with

1093
00:57:25,240 --> 00:57:26,520
Speaker 1: General Kine and others.

1094
00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:29,280
Speaker 2: Is he living up to the high title here of

1095
00:57:29,320 --> 00:57:32,800
Speaker 2: Secretary of War? Is he doing the job well?

1096
00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:34,520
Speaker 15: I think the most important thing is what happens on

1097
00:57:34,560 --> 00:57:37,640
Speaker 15: the ground and whether the military operations are successful. They are,

1098
00:57:38,040 --> 00:57:40,280
Speaker 15: I think he's quite a talented communicator, you know, can

1099
00:57:40,320 --> 00:57:43,400
Speaker 15: be a little overly combative and bombastic to my taste,

1100
00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:46,040
Speaker 15: but that's kind of what Trump likes, and he guys

1101
00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:48,440
Speaker 15: likes him to fight back with the fierceness of the

1102
00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:52,760
Speaker 15: caged tiger. So, but by the most important test is

1103
00:57:52,880 --> 00:57:55,960
Speaker 15: are the military operations going? Well, that's that's been a

1104
00:57:55,960 --> 00:57:57,959
Speaker 15: a all.

1105
00:57:57,920 --> 00:58:00,680
Speaker 1: Right, Rich The President tweeted out today that there'll be

1106
00:58:00,760 --> 00:58:03,880
Speaker 1: no negotiations and the only thing he is looking for

1107
00:58:03,920 --> 00:58:08,919
Speaker 1: here from Iran is complete and total surrender. Now, we've

1108
00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:12,760
Speaker 1: seen some polling showing the American people are largely supportive

1109
00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:15,280
Speaker 1: of this as long as it doesn't last more than

1110
00:58:15,320 --> 00:58:17,880
Speaker 1: a few weeks. Is the President on the right public

1111
00:58:17,920 --> 00:58:21,000
Speaker 1: posture here as he talks about what he wants to

1112
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:24,520
Speaker 1: see on complete and total surrender and also saying that

1113
00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:27,280
Speaker 1: he would like to at least approve of the next

1114
00:58:27,320 --> 00:58:28,800
Speaker 1: person who takes over this country.

1115
00:58:29,800 --> 00:58:32,320
Speaker 15: Yeah, so what he's trying to convince them, guys, this

1116
00:58:32,360 --> 00:58:34,360
Speaker 15: isn't going to end. You've very been a world of

1117
00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:36,080
Speaker 15: pain and you're going to have a world of pain

1118
00:58:36,120 --> 00:58:38,840
Speaker 15: to come. So give me someone else to work with.

1119
00:58:39,040 --> 00:58:42,000
Speaker 15: So I think that's that's the posture for him developing

1120
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:46,680
Speaker 15: the most possible leverage publicly. But he's also he's very

1121
00:58:46,720 --> 00:58:51,120
Speaker 15: cognizant right of the markets, the stock market, the gas prices,

1122
00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:53,520
Speaker 15: So I'm sure he too doesn't want this to go

1123
00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:56,320
Speaker 15: on for too long because we've already seen some elevation

1124
00:58:56,360 --> 00:58:59,000
Speaker 15: and gas prices could see more of that the longer

1125
00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:02,480
Speaker 15: this drags on, so I wouldn't be surprised. I think

1126
00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:04,400
Speaker 15: it'd be a big victory, Scott if you just get

1127
00:59:04,400 --> 00:59:08,720
Speaker 15: some more playable interlocker or from this regime. Right, the

1128
00:59:08,760 --> 00:59:12,040
Speaker 15: regime is still standing, but it decides, all right, we've

1129
00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:15,240
Speaker 15: opposed the Americans for long enough. We're just going to

1130
00:59:15,280 --> 00:59:16,920
Speaker 15: give him what he wants because if we don't give

1131
00:59:16,960 --> 00:59:18,560
Speaker 15: it to him, it's going to be more and more pain.

1132
00:59:18,600 --> 00:59:21,400
Speaker 15: We're gonna lose everything anyway. So I think that's quite plausible.

1133
00:59:21,400 --> 00:59:23,400
Speaker 15: It'd be great if the regime, in my mind, fell

1134
00:59:23,520 --> 00:59:26,480
Speaker 15: I think it's the foremost anti American regime on the planet,

1135
00:59:26,520 --> 00:59:28,600
Speaker 15: has American blood on his hands up to its elbow,

1136
00:59:28,640 --> 00:59:30,920
Speaker 15: going back decades. So I'm willing just to open the

1137
00:59:31,120 --> 00:59:33,440
Speaker 15: door number three and see what's there. But I'm not

1138
00:59:33,440 --> 00:59:36,000
Speaker 15: sure that's actually going to happen, all right.

1139
00:59:35,960 --> 00:59:38,520
Speaker 1: Rich Lowry, editor in chief of the National Review, punted

1140
00:59:38,560 --> 00:59:40,360
Speaker 1: of the week here on the Scott Jennings Show. Let's

1141
00:59:40,360 --> 00:59:43,680
Speaker 1: talk about the Democratic reaction to all of this. Yesterday

1142
00:59:43,720 --> 00:59:46,600
Speaker 1: there was a resolution in the House, a non binding resolution,

1143
00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:49,439
Speaker 1: a messaging document, if you will, that simply stated that

1144
00:59:49,960 --> 00:59:52,600
Speaker 1: and reaffirmed the US position that Iran is in fact

1145
00:59:52,640 --> 00:59:55,680
Speaker 1: the biggest state sponsor of terrorism in the world. Fifty

1146
00:59:55,760 --> 00:59:59,560
Speaker 1: three Democrats voted against that. You have had a number

1147
00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:02,120
Speaker 1: of Demo crats come out and call this war illegal

1148
01:00:02,600 --> 01:00:06,680
Speaker 1: and unconstitutional. Rich to the Democrats of risk here looking

1149
01:00:06,800 --> 01:00:09,800
Speaker 1: anti America? Do they risk looking like they're cheering for

1150
01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:14,280
Speaker 1: American failure? And have they left themselves any wiggle room here?

1151
01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:17,040
Speaker 1: If in fact the President's right, the regime falls, we

1152
01:00:17,120 --> 01:00:19,280
Speaker 1: take out the nukes, we take out the ballistic.

1153
01:00:18,880 --> 01:00:21,440
Speaker 2: Missiles, and all of a sudden Iran is neutralized.

1154
01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:24,240
Speaker 15: Yeah, well, of course they won't give them any credit.

1155
01:00:24,280 --> 01:00:27,160
Speaker 15: They'll just mumble and look at their shoes, that's the circumstance,

1156
01:00:27,160 --> 01:00:29,080
Speaker 15: and move on to the next issue. I think the

1157
01:00:29,120 --> 01:00:32,360
Speaker 15: best case for them politically is just to say, look,

1158
01:00:32,680 --> 01:00:35,640
Speaker 15: everyone cares most about prices, and this president has taken

1159
01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:37,960
Speaker 15: his eye off the ball with regard to prices, and

1160
01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:40,840
Speaker 15: this is another example of it, rather than oh gee,

1161
01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:43,000
Speaker 15: this is such a terrible thing. You wiped out the

1162
01:00:43,040 --> 01:00:46,760
Speaker 15: Sciatola to find this regime for decades and has American

1163
01:00:46,760 --> 01:00:49,160
Speaker 15: blood on their hands. But they can't help themselves.

1164
01:00:49,240 --> 01:00:49,400
Speaker 5: You know.

1165
01:00:49,600 --> 01:00:54,640
Speaker 15: They're driven by an blind animus towards this president, and

1166
01:00:54,720 --> 01:00:56,560
Speaker 15: very often they can't see their own political interest.

1167
01:00:57,840 --> 01:01:00,480
Speaker 1: All right, post war, Let's say for a moment that

1168
01:01:00,560 --> 01:01:04,160
Speaker 1: the regime falls and there has to be some stabilization

1169
01:01:04,360 --> 01:01:07,200
Speaker 1: of Iran. Do you think the political will exists in

1170
01:01:07,240 --> 01:01:11,360
Speaker 1: America for any American troops to be stationed on the

1171
01:01:11,360 --> 01:01:14,240
Speaker 1: ground in Iran or at least in the region as

1172
01:01:14,280 --> 01:01:17,360
Speaker 1: we oversee some sort of transition to a new regime.

1173
01:01:18,840 --> 01:01:21,040
Speaker 15: I don't think we're going to see any American troops

1174
01:01:21,080 --> 01:01:25,240
Speaker 15: in Iran unless it's some real emergency circumstance, you know,

1175
01:01:25,280 --> 01:01:27,720
Speaker 15: God forbid. I don't know. They can't do this because

1176
01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:29,640
Speaker 15: we have total air dominance at the moment. But a

1177
01:01:29,720 --> 01:01:31,840
Speaker 15: B fifty two is down. I don't know what the

1178
01:01:31,880 --> 01:01:33,760
Speaker 15: crew is. A B fifty two and nine guys are

1179
01:01:33,760 --> 01:01:35,280
Speaker 15: caught and we want to go get him in a

1180
01:01:35,360 --> 01:01:40,040
Speaker 15: raid something like that. But a Stabilization Force with US

1181
01:01:40,080 --> 01:01:42,760
Speaker 15: service members in it. I think that's a red line

1182
01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:44,720
Speaker 15: for President Trump and we won't see it.

1183
01:01:45,640 --> 01:01:47,439
Speaker 2: All Right, Rich Lowry's are pundit of the week.

1184
01:01:47,520 --> 01:01:50,040
Speaker 1: Let's come back home, Rich and talk about things that

1185
01:01:50,080 --> 01:01:53,479
Speaker 1: happened in politics here in the United States. Big news

1186
01:01:53,560 --> 01:01:57,680
Speaker 1: yesterday the President announced that he's firing Homeland Security Secretary

1187
01:01:57,760 --> 01:02:02,080
Speaker 1: Christy Noam and replacing her with Mark Wayne Mullen, Senator

1188
01:02:02,080 --> 01:02:03,160
Speaker 1: from Oklahoma. A.

1189
01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:06,000
Speaker 2: Did this surprise you, b Did the President make the

1190
01:02:06,080 --> 01:02:07,560
Speaker 2: right call?

1191
01:02:07,680 --> 01:02:10,560
Speaker 15: Well, it didn't surprise me, Scott, because our reporter Audrey

1192
01:02:10,560 --> 01:02:15,320
Speaker 15: Fahlberg had a piece yesterday morning how mad Trump was

1193
01:02:15,480 --> 01:02:17,480
Speaker 15: at her testimony and how it went, and he was

1194
01:02:17,520 --> 01:02:20,920
Speaker 15: considering Mullen, and sure enough, he fired her yesterday and

1195
01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:23,840
Speaker 15: brought in Mullen. Now, there's been rumblings about this for

1196
01:02:23,840 --> 01:02:26,280
Speaker 15: a very long time, but there are other names that

1197
01:02:26,280 --> 01:02:29,240
Speaker 15: have been brooded about, not Mark Wayne Mullen. So that

1198
01:02:29,280 --> 01:02:31,880
Speaker 15: aspect of it was a surprise. But I just think

1199
01:02:31,920 --> 01:02:35,360
Speaker 15: she was a poor pick. I think she had presidential aspirations,

1200
01:02:35,360 --> 01:02:38,120
Speaker 15: so she cared most about her image and you know,

1201
01:02:38,640 --> 01:02:42,680
Speaker 15: tough looking photos of her wearing various DHS uniforms or

1202
01:02:42,840 --> 01:02:46,360
Speaker 15: on horseback on these in this two hundred and twenty

1203
01:02:46,360 --> 01:02:49,280
Speaker 15: million dollar ad campaign encouraging the legal limeriates to go

1204
01:02:49,920 --> 01:02:53,919
Speaker 15: So if Mullan just gets in there, cleans up any

1205
01:02:53,920 --> 01:02:57,000
Speaker 15: sketchy funding, says I'm going to defer to the professionals

1206
01:02:57,080 --> 01:02:59,400
Speaker 15: rather than waging a turf war against them the way

1207
01:02:59,480 --> 01:03:03,480
Speaker 15: Christy Noman did, and endorsing the Tom Homan approach, which is,

1208
01:03:03,680 --> 01:03:05,760
Speaker 15: let's go easy on the showy raid. So we'll just

1209
01:03:05,800 --> 01:03:07,720
Speaker 15: go after the so called worst of the worst and

1210
01:03:07,760 --> 01:03:11,919
Speaker 15: then try to squeeze a legal employment with various forms

1211
01:03:11,960 --> 01:03:14,320
Speaker 15: of workplace enforcement. I think that's the right approach.

1212
01:03:15,360 --> 01:03:15,560
Speaker 10: Yeah.

1213
01:03:15,560 --> 01:03:17,720
Speaker 1: I was not a fan rich of the hats. She

1214
01:03:17,800 --> 01:03:19,720
Speaker 1: wore a lot of different hats. And I don't mean

1215
01:03:20,120 --> 01:03:21,320
Speaker 1: like Marco Rubio.

1216
01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:24,520
Speaker 2: Wears a lot of hats. She wore literal physical hats

1217
01:03:24,600 --> 01:03:25,240
Speaker 2: all the time.

1218
01:03:25,320 --> 01:03:27,240
Speaker 1: And I you know, if I had any advice for

1219
01:03:27,360 --> 01:03:29,320
Speaker 1: Mark Wayne Mullen, it's just put on a suit and

1220
01:03:29,400 --> 01:03:31,760
Speaker 1: look like a cabinet secretary. You're not there to carry

1221
01:03:31,760 --> 01:03:34,560
Speaker 1: a weapon, you're not there to dress up in a costume.

1222
01:03:34,600 --> 01:03:36,960
Speaker 1: You're there to run a massive agency, which, by the way,

1223
01:03:37,040 --> 01:03:38,439
Speaker 1: is they'll shut down right now.

1224
01:03:39,400 --> 01:03:42,360
Speaker 15: Yeah, We don't see Tom Homan in uniforms, right, you

1225
01:03:42,400 --> 01:03:45,200
Speaker 15: know everyone has Everyone likes their windbreaker with the logo

1226
01:03:45,320 --> 01:03:47,760
Speaker 15: of whatever it is they're running. But that's all you need.

1227
01:03:47,840 --> 01:03:50,440
Speaker 15: You don't need the fast, fancy costumes and the hats,

1228
01:03:51,400 --> 01:03:51,800
Speaker 15: all right.

1229
01:03:51,840 --> 01:03:54,720
Speaker 1: So Christy Noaen was the first Trump Cabinet secretary to

1230
01:03:54,720 --> 01:03:58,360
Speaker 1: be changed out in Trump two point zero, as you mentioned,

1231
01:03:58,400 --> 01:04:01,400
Speaker 1: by the way, and we should just her. Audrey Fahlberg,

1232
01:04:01,520 --> 01:04:04,440
Speaker 1: a intrepid reporter for the National Review, was the first

1233
01:04:04,880 --> 01:04:06,280
Speaker 1: reporter to have this.

1234
01:04:06,840 --> 01:04:09,080
Speaker 2: Does Audrey know anything else that we need to know?

1235
01:04:09,200 --> 01:04:10,920
Speaker 1: And in your opinion, Rich, are we going to see

1236
01:04:10,960 --> 01:04:12,640
Speaker 1: other personnel changes this year?

1237
01:04:14,360 --> 01:04:17,160
Speaker 15: I don't know. It is notable. This is the one, right,

1238
01:04:17,480 --> 01:04:19,960
Speaker 15: given that Trump was famous for firing from his apprentice

1239
01:04:20,040 --> 01:04:22,400
Speaker 15: days and there's a huge amount of turnover the first

1240
01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:24,480
Speaker 15: time around. I just think it's very loath to do it.

1241
01:04:24,520 --> 01:04:28,400
Speaker 15: He doesn't like giving the critics a scalp, and confirmations

1242
01:04:28,600 --> 01:04:32,680
Speaker 15: aren't a nice prospect either. This is different. It's always

1243
01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:35,280
Speaker 15: good to get a senator who needs Senate confirmation because

1244
01:04:35,280 --> 01:04:38,760
Speaker 15: he usually goes relatively easily. So I'm not sure we're

1245
01:04:38,760 --> 01:04:40,000
Speaker 15: going to see anything else this year.

1246
01:04:41,080 --> 01:04:45,280
Speaker 1: All right, Yesterday a friend of the show, the Chairman

1247
01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:50,120
Speaker 1: of House Foreign Affairs, Congressman Brian Mast, held a hearing.

1248
01:04:50,320 --> 01:04:52,360
Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you, Rich, when I first saw

1249
01:04:52,400 --> 01:04:54,840
Speaker 1: this and heard this, I thought it was ai because

1250
01:04:54,840 --> 01:04:57,880
Speaker 1: I didn't think there was any way this was actually

1251
01:04:57,920 --> 01:05:00,280
Speaker 1: set out loud in a congressional hearing. But I'm going

1252
01:05:00,280 --> 01:05:02,480
Speaker 1: to play it for you and we'll discuss it. Brian

1253
01:05:02,600 --> 01:05:06,720
Speaker 1: Mass discussing the maps at the State Department and cut

1254
01:05:06,800 --> 01:05:07,440
Speaker 1: number twelve.

1255
01:05:08,480 --> 01:05:11,160
Speaker 6: Can you tell me what is queering the map?

1256
01:05:11,960 --> 01:05:14,240
Speaker 16: So I think we were trying to make the maps

1257
01:05:14,280 --> 01:05:14,760
Speaker 16: more gay.

1258
01:05:16,240 --> 01:05:19,720
Speaker 2: Literally, well you make a I mean, especially we're gay.

1259
01:05:20,240 --> 01:05:22,360
Speaker 16: You know, since the age of cartography, we've had pretty

1260
01:05:22,400 --> 01:05:24,280
Speaker 16: good maps, but maybe they weren't gay enough.

1261
01:05:24,560 --> 01:05:25,400
Speaker 5: So I know.

1262
01:05:25,480 --> 01:05:27,560
Speaker 16: Also, I took critical theory in college. I think sometimes

1263
01:05:27,560 --> 01:05:30,280
Speaker 16: people use queer as a verb. I do understand that

1264
01:05:30,320 --> 01:05:33,600
Speaker 16: the maps that we were trying to make gay were

1265
01:05:33,640 --> 01:05:36,320
Speaker 16: I think of Cchuchia and Slovakia, So maybe those countries

1266
01:05:36,360 --> 01:05:38,520
Speaker 16: asked for it. I doubt it, but I don't know.

1267
01:05:39,960 --> 01:05:43,320
Speaker 2: Okay, Rich, this actually happened in a house hearing.

1268
01:05:43,600 --> 01:05:46,880
Speaker 1: That other voice you were hearing there by the way,

1269
01:05:47,240 --> 01:05:52,280
Speaker 1: was our Undersecretary of State for Public Diplomacy Sarah Rodgers,

1270
01:05:52,320 --> 01:05:56,240
Speaker 1: who took over that job for a Biden appointee named

1271
01:05:56,680 --> 01:05:59,520
Speaker 1: Liz Allen. Brian Mass was questioning her on a series

1272
01:05:59,520 --> 01:06:02,919
Speaker 1: of programs that were given grant funding during the Biden

1273
01:06:02,920 --> 01:06:06,680
Speaker 1: administration to push DEI priorities. When you hear things like that,

1274
01:06:08,080 --> 01:06:09,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I know we got a lot going on

1275
01:06:09,440 --> 01:06:11,240
Speaker 1: in the world, but boy, it's sometimes important to look

1276
01:06:11,280 --> 01:06:13,720
Speaker 1: back and remember just how crazy things had gotten under Biden.

1277
01:06:14,880 --> 01:06:17,640
Speaker 15: Yeah, I didn't know maps had gender, but now I

1278
01:06:17,640 --> 01:06:20,240
Speaker 15: think back at it. Maybe my Technico roadmap was cis

1279
01:06:20,360 --> 01:06:23,360
Speaker 15: gender should I should have seen it all the time.

1280
01:06:23,600 --> 01:06:26,960
Speaker 15: But what you said Scott about believing maybe this was

1281
01:06:27,040 --> 01:06:29,960
Speaker 15: ai This is a problem Republicans have. There's some things

1282
01:06:30,040 --> 01:06:32,160
Speaker 15: that the Democrats are in favor or have been doing

1283
01:06:32,440 --> 01:06:35,960
Speaker 15: that's so crazy. It's really difficult to convince people it's real,

1284
01:06:36,400 --> 01:06:38,640
Speaker 15: you know, and you're not making it up. And this

1285
01:06:38,800 --> 01:06:41,080
Speaker 15: is high on the list, right. I'm also I just

1286
01:06:41,080 --> 01:06:43,640
Speaker 15: want my maps to be accurate. I'm just asking that, you.

1287
01:06:43,600 --> 01:06:48,360
Speaker 1: Know the This wasn't the only gender related problem Democrats

1288
01:06:48,400 --> 01:06:51,440
Speaker 1: had this week. We talked about this on the show yesterday.

1289
01:06:51,520 --> 01:06:54,600
Speaker 1: This character they've nominated for the Senate down in Texas.

1290
01:06:54,640 --> 01:06:57,800
Speaker 1: Tall Rico is on the record in a legislative hearing

1291
01:06:57,880 --> 01:07:00,240
Speaker 1: himself saying that it was his opinion that there were

1292
01:07:00,280 --> 01:07:04,040
Speaker 1: six genders, not five, not seven, but the number of

1293
01:07:04,080 --> 01:07:08,240
Speaker 1: genders shall be six. I actually Rich sent a communication

1294
01:07:08,280 --> 01:07:10,360
Speaker 1: to his campaign asking for a list of the six

1295
01:07:10,440 --> 01:07:13,200
Speaker 1: genders and which one Talla Errico thought that he was.

1296
01:07:13,320 --> 01:07:15,640
Speaker 2: They did not answer my questions. I have promised the

1297
01:07:15,720 --> 01:07:16,640
Speaker 2: listeners an update.

1298
01:07:17,280 --> 01:07:19,520
Speaker 1: So Democrats still here in the Year of Our Lord

1299
01:07:19,600 --> 01:07:23,080
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, struggling with the concept that there are

1300
01:07:23,120 --> 01:07:23,720
Speaker 1: two genders.

1301
01:07:23,760 --> 01:07:25,360
Speaker 2: Our pundit of the week is Rich Lowry.

1302
01:07:25,360 --> 01:07:27,360
Speaker 1: He's going to stick around through this commercial break and

1303
01:07:27,400 --> 01:07:30,520
Speaker 1: we'll do this week's winners and losers. First, a quick

1304
01:07:30,600 --> 01:07:34,080
Speaker 1: word from our friends at Patriot Mobile. This is a

1305
01:07:34,120 --> 01:07:38,200
Speaker 1: critical year for our country, and as the liberal opposition

1306
01:07:38,320 --> 01:07:42,560
Speaker 1: grows more aggressive and unapologetic, the fight now is more

1307
01:07:42,640 --> 01:07:45,760
Speaker 1: important than ever, and it even includes some of the

1308
01:07:45,800 --> 01:07:49,320
Speaker 1: everyday decisions you make, like which wireless company should I use.

1309
01:07:49,600 --> 01:07:51,880
Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile has been standing on the front lines of

1310

Speaker 1: the fight for freedom for over twelve years. It's a

1311
01:07:54,000 --> 01:07:57,200
Speaker 1: great company. They deliver top tier wireless service. And they

1312
01:07:57,200 --> 01:08:00,680

1352
01:09:53,200 --> 01:09:55,240
Speaker 1: the Whek. The editor in chief of The National Review,

1353
01:09:55,400 --> 01:09:56,840
Speaker 1: Rich Lowry is here.

1354
01:09:57,000 --> 01:09:57,240
Speaker 5: Rich.

1355
01:09:57,760 --> 01:10:01,280
Speaker 1: As always, it's time for you and me to pick

1356
01:10:01,320 --> 01:10:05,360
Speaker 1: our winners and losers of the week in American politics.

1357
01:10:05,400 --> 01:10:08,920
Speaker 1: A lot of people to choose from. Rich will start

1358
01:10:08,960 --> 01:10:11,880
Speaker 1: with you. Who won the week in American politics?

1359
01:10:12,280 --> 01:10:14,880
Speaker 15: I think the winner was Senator John Kennedy. He pursued

1360
01:10:14,920 --> 01:10:17,639
Speaker 15: this line of questioning with Christy Nome about this big

1361
01:10:17,640 --> 01:10:20,200
Speaker 15: two hundred and twenty million dollar contract that wasn't really

1362
01:10:20,680 --> 01:10:24,479
Speaker 15: defensible and she had no good answer, and this provided

1363
01:10:24,479 --> 01:10:27,599
Speaker 15: the occasion for Trump to axer and get a better

1364
01:10:27,600 --> 01:10:31,040
Speaker 15: Homeland Security director. Not easy to go after your other side,

1365
01:10:31,080 --> 01:10:34,559
Speaker 15: but this was justified. Plus he's had a book, John Kennedy,

1366
01:10:34,560 --> 01:10:36,960
Speaker 15: that's been on the bestseller list for weeks now, so

1367
01:10:37,160 --> 01:10:37,719
Speaker 15: hats off.

1368
01:10:38,760 --> 01:10:42,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, Kennedy really showed that he's got the ear of

1369
01:10:42,840 --> 01:10:46,160
Speaker 1: the president. Apparently after that hearing, the President called him up,

1370
01:10:46,160 --> 01:10:48,519
Speaker 1: asked him a bunch of questions about it. So I

1371
01:10:48,560 --> 01:10:51,200
Speaker 1: tend to agree Senator John Kennedy. The clout of John

1372
01:10:51,280 --> 01:10:54,639
Speaker 1: Kennedy went up exponentially. He's rich as winner of the week. Okay,

1373
01:10:54,680 --> 01:10:55,519
Speaker 1: loser of the week.

1374
01:10:55,640 --> 01:10:55,840
Speaker 12: Rich.

1375
01:10:56,400 --> 01:10:58,160
Speaker 2: There's a lot of people who had a bad week.

1376
01:10:58,200 --> 01:11:03,280
Speaker 1: The Iyatola rough week, to be honest, but I'm gonna

1377
01:11:03,320 --> 01:11:06,439
Speaker 1: go with Gavin Newsom, the governor of California. What do

1378
01:11:06,479 --> 01:11:08,639
Speaker 1: we have going on with Gavin Newsom this week, Well,

1379
01:11:09,080 --> 01:11:12,640
Speaker 1: we have a gas prices crisis going on in California.

1380
01:11:13,439 --> 01:11:15,080
Speaker 2: We've got Gavin Newsom this week.

1381
01:11:15,200 --> 01:11:20,519
Speaker 1: Absolutely I think disgracing and disqualifying himself to be president

1382
01:11:20,560 --> 01:11:23,120
Speaker 1: and commander in chief with what he said about Israel

1383
01:11:23,200 --> 01:11:26,439
Speaker 1: this week, calling them an apartheid state, saying he would

1384
01:11:26,479 --> 01:11:31,000
Speaker 1: be up for a military embargo against Israel. We're in

1385
01:11:31,040 --> 01:11:33,840
Speaker 1: the middle of a war there are ally we are

1386
01:11:33,880 --> 01:11:37,320
Speaker 1: working with the Israeli military against the biggest state sponsor

1387
01:11:37,360 --> 01:11:40,400
Speaker 1: of terror in the world. And you've got Gavin Newsom

1388
01:11:40,479 --> 01:11:43,040
Speaker 1: out here saying we ought to have a military embargo

1389
01:11:43,720 --> 01:11:47,040
Speaker 1: against Israel. He tried to walk it back Rich, but

1390
01:11:47,120 --> 01:11:50,480
Speaker 1: he's still going on podcasts this week with anti Semitic

1391
01:11:50,880 --> 01:11:52,160
Speaker 1: podcast hosts.

1392
01:11:53,080 --> 01:11:56,280
Speaker 2: I think Newsom lost his way this week, and also

1393
01:11:56,280 --> 01:11:58,599
Speaker 2: he's taken his eye off the ball, which is the

1394
01:11:58,600 --> 01:12:02,960
Speaker 2: principal argument against him, is that California sucks.

1395
01:12:03,240 --> 01:12:06,160
Speaker 1: Like the governance of California is terrible. Whether it's this

1396
01:12:06,280 --> 01:12:09,160
Speaker 1: gas prices crisis they're having. Gas is like two dollars

1397
01:12:09,240 --> 01:12:12,240
Speaker 1: a gallon more out there than anywhere else, whether it's

1398
01:12:12,280 --> 01:12:15,120
Speaker 1: all the other governance issues they have, he's out here

1399
01:12:15,520 --> 01:12:18,599
Speaker 1: opining about Israel and so on and so forth. Loser

1400
01:12:18,640 --> 01:12:21,720
Speaker 1: of the week, Gavin Newsom, what do you think, Rich, I.

1401
01:12:21,720 --> 01:12:24,080
Speaker 15: Think it's a pretty good loser my pick, though I

1402
01:12:24,120 --> 01:12:25,639
Speaker 15: don't know whether we go to keep it on our shorts.

1403
01:12:25,720 --> 01:12:29,000
Speaker 15: I need to go outside our shores. Whoever organized and

1404
01:12:29,040 --> 01:12:33,920
Speaker 15: scheduled the very public in person meeting in Iran that

1405
01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:37,040
Speaker 15: provided the US and Israel the opportunity and knock out

1406
01:12:37,040 --> 01:12:40,719
Speaker 15: the top leadership, that person is the loser of the week.

1407
01:12:40,960 --> 01:12:44,240
Speaker 15: Sometimes zoom is okay. I'm totally on board. People going

1408
01:12:44,320 --> 01:12:46,479
Speaker 15: back in the office happened a lot of places already,

1409
01:12:46,760 --> 01:12:50,280
Speaker 15: but not if you're under threat from the US and Israel.

1410
01:12:50,439 --> 01:12:52,719
Speaker 15: Good thing for us that this person scheduled this meeting,

1411
01:12:52,760 --> 01:12:53,960
Speaker 15: but not good for that.

1412
01:12:54,920 --> 01:12:58,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, back to work policies not going well in Iran.

1413
01:12:59,360 --> 01:13:01,479
Speaker 1: To be honest, I mean that meeting probably could have

1414
01:13:01,520 --> 01:13:04,120
Speaker 1: been a ZOOM. I don't know what the technology is

1415
01:13:04,120 --> 01:13:05,720
Speaker 1: in Iran. I don't know if they have zoom or

1416
01:13:05,760 --> 01:13:09,360
Speaker 1: anything else. But Lord have mercy, that was a terrible idea.

1417
01:13:09,439 --> 01:13:11,680
Speaker 1: To meet, and then of course the Council of Clerics

1418
01:13:12,360 --> 01:13:14,240
Speaker 1: a couple of days later was meeting and they got

1419
01:13:14,280 --> 01:13:17,080
Speaker 1: bombed too, And so you know, I.

1420
01:13:17,000 --> 01:13:20,639
Speaker 15: Think we need carrier pigeons because you know, I'm sure

1421
01:13:20,640 --> 01:13:23,639
Speaker 15: they're scared that Israel's infiltrated their zooms and anything else.

1422
01:13:23,680 --> 01:13:25,240
Speaker 15: So maybe pigeons is the way to go.

1423
01:13:26,080 --> 01:13:28,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, the fear running through the Iranian regime, what's left

1424
01:13:28,640 --> 01:13:30,280
Speaker 1: of it must be high. I mean they must look

1425
01:13:30,320 --> 01:13:33,280
Speaker 1: at everybody in their life thinking are you Masad?

1426
01:13:33,720 --> 01:13:36,559
Speaker 2: Are you massade? Like they must are u CIA.

1427
01:13:36,640 --> 01:13:39,240
Speaker 1: I mean they must be looking at everybody in their

1428
01:13:39,280 --> 01:13:43,040
Speaker 1: life and just running scared. All right, Rich Lowry, editor
