15
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: to Harryeton from CNN about that. College basketball analyst and

16
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: Jewish American advocate Bruce Pearl responding to Gavin Newsom's latest

17
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: anti Semitic garbage. And an important child safety bill is

18
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: up for consideration in a House committee. We'll talk about

19
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 1: that later in the hour. It is Wednesday, March fourth.

20
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 1: This is common sense for the American people. I'm Scott Jennings,

21
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: broadcasting live today from New York City, and we begin

22
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: with the success of the US and Israeli joint military

23
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: action in Iran just ruthlessly efficient and brutal in its

24
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: execution so far, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and Joint

25
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:36,119
Speaker 1: Chiefs Chairman Dan Kin brief the press this morning. Here's

26
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: General Kin with the latest in CUT twenty five todate.

27
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 4: We've hit over two thousand targets. As Admiral Cooper said

28
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 4: in his video last night, we've destroyed more than twenty

29
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 4: Iranian naval vessels, including, in addition to the frigate outside

30
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 4: of the area, one submarine and effectively neutralized at this

31
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 4: point in time's major naval presence in theater out there.

32
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 4: As the Secretary showed the video, for the first time

33
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 4: since nineteen forty five, a United States Navy fast attack

34
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 4: submarine has sunk an enemy combatant ship using a single

35
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 4: Mark forty eight torpedo to achieve immediate effects, sending the

36
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 4: warship to the bottom of the sea.

37
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 1: And Secretary Heigseth could not be happier with the efforts

38
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 1: so far. Here he is and CUT twenty six.

39
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 5: Iran cannot outlast us. We're going to ensure through violence

40
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 5: of action and our offensive capabilities and our defensive capabilities.

41
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 5: As I said that, we set the tone and the

42
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 5: tempo of this fight. That's why stories and speculation about

43
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 5: different things that try to make it look like we're

44
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 5: limited in what we can do. The only limits we

45
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 5: have in this is President Trump's desire to achieve specific

46
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 5: effects on half of the American people.

47
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: And one piece of breaking news just into the Scott

48
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: Jennings show, Israel has eliminated a man named Raman Mokattam,

49
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: who was head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Special Operations Division.

50
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: He was behind the assassination attempt on President Trump on

51
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: the eve of the twenty twenty four election, and in

52
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: addition to that, he plotted to kill other people, former

53
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: cabinet officials, ambassadors, and activists, and he wanted to do

54
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 1: it on American soil.

55
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 2: He is no longer with.

56
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 1: Us here to discuss the war effort, one of the

57
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: most important policymakers in Washington, the Chairman of the House

58
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: Foreign Affairs Committee, Brian mast of Florida, is here.

59
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 2: Mister chairman, Welcome to the show.

60
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: And before I ask you a question, I just want

61
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: to tell our listeners about your experience before coming to Congress.

62
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: You served in the Army for twelve years, Bronze Star,

63
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: Army Commendation Medal for Valor, Purple Heart, Defense Meritorious Service Medal,

64
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: and while deployed in Afghanistan, you lost both legs while

65
00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: diffusing an ied. Ladies and gentlemen, we're speaking with a

66
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: bona fide American hero, Brian Mass has seen combat up close.

67
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: Chairman Mass, what is your reaction to the performance of

68
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: the US military so far.

69
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 6: I'm thankful for the determination, the sense to duty of

70
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 6: our service members, their training that they've undertaken. As Secretary

71
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 6: Heggsith pointed out, the violence of action that they're bringing

72
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 6: against our enemy. Aran is our enemy, an imminent threat

73
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 6: of an enemy that four years, not just years ago,

74
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,239
Speaker 6: but even in the last four days and four months

75
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 6: and all points in between, has been attacking the United

76
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 6: States of America and looking for every opportunity to do so.

77
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 6: So my reaction is simply this, thank you, President Trump

78
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 6: for finally responding on behalf of the United States of

79
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 6: America against this imminent threat, and on top of that,

80
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 6: finally not that this was the mission purpose, but it's there,

81
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 6: finally avenging all of those Americans that have been killed

82
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 6: at the Hint Iran for the first time.

83
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: Yes, for forty seven years, they have exported terror, They

84
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: have killed American servicemen, they have maimed our servicemen and

85
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: other American personnel. Make no mistake, you are correct, they

86
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 1: are the enemy. Mister Chairman. General Kine said that Iran's

87
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 1: theater ballistic missile shots fired are now down eighty six

88
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: percent from the first day, and they've had a twenty

89
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 1: three percent decrease in just the last twenty four hours.

90
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: They're one way attack. Drone shots are now down seventy

91
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: three percent from the opening days.

92
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 2: Do you believe that we.

93
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 1: Are close to a moment where Iran will effectively have

94
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,679
Speaker 1: no ability to defend itself against the US and Israel?

95
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 6: Let me answer firmatively, number one. Yes, Let me explain why.

96
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 6: So you're saying the volume and the frequency of Iranian

97
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 6: attacks is coming lower and lower every single minute. Why

98
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 6: is that? Because we are destroying their ability to conduct

99
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 6: any type of offense of operation. They might have large

100
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 6: cachets of ordinance that they can fire at us, but

101
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,919
Speaker 6: if they don't have the capabilities to fire them, what

102
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 6: are they going to do? Throw them at US. They

103
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 6: don't have the opportunity to deploy it, and so that

104
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 6: opportunity for volume and frequency is getting lower every single minute.

105
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: Chairman Mass, we have seen Iran launch missiles at Turkey today.

106
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: They have now attacked sixteen countries since the beginning of hostilities.

107
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: Do you believe or expect any of our allies here

108
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 1: beyond Israel to join in with military activity of their own?

109
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 6: Allies have already joined this coalition. Allies that have been

110
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 6: struck throughout the Gulf States the region have already joined

111
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 6: this coalition. Certainly defensively, they've been a part of this

112
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 6: coalition and some of them working on advancing their capabilities

113
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 6: offensively in terms of their participation.

114
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: Mister Chairman Brian Mass, by the way of Florida, Head

115
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 1: of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, we have seen good

116
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: amount of support from many allies, like Germany yesterday in

117
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: the Oval Office, but other countries like the UK and

118
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: Spain have frankly been feckless. What's your comment on those countries?

119
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: What would you say to their heads of state?

120
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 2: Right now, get with the winning team.

121
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 6: Recognize that the United States of America has been your

122
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 6: hedge of protection against this threat. Year in, year out,

123
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 6: and now it's time to show where you stand in

124
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 6: the fight. Do you stand with China and Russia in Iran?

125
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 6: Or do you stand with the United States of America

126
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 6: as a part of our allied group in standing against

127
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 6: that evil, the same evil that was allied with Venezuela,

128
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 6: the same evil that was allied with North Korea. Where

129
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 6: do you stand? Because when the dust settles, we're going

130
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 6: to remember that.

131
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 2: Mister Chairman.

132
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: The Democrats have, apparently we're told, decided to continue to

133
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: vote to shut down the Department of Homeland Security this week.

134
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 1: It's been shut down for a couple of weeks now,

135
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: and that's despite the fact that we are at war

136
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: and we are seeing increased terrorism threats at home, such

137
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: as what happened in Austin, Texas over the weekend on

138
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: a scale of one too completely insane. How crazy is

139
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: this position being taken by the Democratic Party?

140
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 6: Beyond insane? And they're the source of the instability as well,

141
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 6: as I'm sure many have spoken about this. They were

142
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 6: obviously letting thousands, tens of thousands through our southern border.

143
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 6: We know for a fact, just a couple of years

144
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 6: ago there were several Iranians that came through the southern border.

145
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 6: They were apprehended, and they were part of a plot

146
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:33,959
Speaker 6: to assassinate George H. W.

147
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 7: Bush.

148
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 6: Those were the kind of mission sets that they were

149
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 6: undertaking on behalf of Iran, on American soil, let through

150
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 6: by the POORUS Biden administration border. And now they don't

151
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,199
Speaker 6: want a fund homeland Security to go out there apprehend

152
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 6: these individuals and defend under all of the umbrellas that

153
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 6: our Homeland security defend the people of the United States

154
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 6: on our homeland. That's just par for the course for them.

155
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 6: They have never wanted to defend our homeland and they've

156
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 6: only done things to This is a continuation of that policy.

157
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: I want to return to one thing you said earlier,

158
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 1: the concept of imminent threat. You have people in the

159
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: media and in the Democratic Party saying Iran was not

160
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 1: an eminent threat. However, they have ballistic missiles, they have

161
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 1: attack drones, and they told our negotiators they had enough

162
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: nuclear material to make about eleven nuclear bombs. If that

163
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 1: doesn't say eminent threat, I don't know what was. Let's

164
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: go over this one more time. Are you confident that

165
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 1: Iran was an eminent threat and that the Commander in

166
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: chief made the correct decision to strike first.

167
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 6: Completely confident. Number one, Let's bring it more to my

168
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 6: legislative world. Numerous times over the last year and several years,

169
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 6: nearly every single Democrat and nearly every single Republican have

170
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,959
Speaker 6: voted to say Iran's nuclear program is an existential threat

171
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 6: to America. The proxies that Iran is supporting are an

172
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 6: ex olistential threat to America. This, all of these things,

173
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 6: literally votes taken to say a serious threat to America,

174
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 6: and in some cases even voting to say use all

175
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,559
Speaker 6: means necessary to eliminate that threat. They all want to

176
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,199
Speaker 6: forget that they voted on that. Now, why because it's

177
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 6: President Trump that is in office finally doing something about this.

178
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 8: Imitate thereat.

179
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 6: I would say this there was an imminent threat from

180
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 6: Iran only because there has never been an American president

181
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 6: that was willing to make it an imminent response when

182
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 6: Iran attacks US.

183
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,199

227
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 9: here with us. It's the Scott Jennings.

228
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: Show and it's Wednesday, March fourth. Last night we started

229
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 1: the primary season. The big story is Texas, where the

230
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 1: Republicans sent incumbent Senator John Corn into a runoff with

231
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: Attorney General Ken Paxton and the Democrats nominated outright a

232
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 1: state representative named James Tallerico and appear to have ended

233
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: the career of a setting congresswoman named Jasmine Crockett. Let's

234
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: hear a little bit of it.

235
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 5: Is both masculine and feminine and everything in between.

236
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 10: God is non binary.

237
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: As James Tallerico, the Democrat nominee for Senate in Texas.

238
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: Here to discuss these results, Senate see it in polling

239
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: and data guru Harry Anton is on the phone. Harry

240
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: looks to me last night like Senator Cornyn overperformed a

241
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: bit on the GOP side.

242
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 2: Do you agree with that?

243
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 11: I agree with that? And Scott we were literally talking

244
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 11: before the break, and then just as we were going on,

245
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 11: Mike Crutch, my crack pop producer, comes over and shows

246
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,079
Speaker 11: to me, why are the prediction markets all of a

247
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 11: sudden corn jumping way up? Check Out this headline from

248
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 11: The Atlantic. Trump is expected to endorse Cornan So that

249
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 11: is huge, huge, huge news. John Cornyn outperformed last night,

250
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 11: getting the most votes, which is very much unlike with

251
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 11: a lot of the polling data. Said, and Donald Trump

252
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 11: likes a winner. And Donald Trump at this point it

253
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 11: seems to me, if this reporting is corroborated, is going

254
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 11: to get behind John Cornyan, which would be absolutely huge

255
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 11: news for Republicans nationwide because corn is seen as the

256
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 11: more electable candidate come the fall against Tallery company.

257
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: Well, this is breaking news if in fact this comes

258
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: to pass. So I guess the question here would be

259
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: does Ken Paxton continue? It would be difficult, I think

260
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: for him to defeat John Cornan if President Trump is

261
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: fully behind the incombent senator.

262
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 11: I believe that it would be very difficult, very difficult,

263
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 11: And in fact I have it right here if you

264
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 11: look at the Trump true social his truth eventually that

265
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 11: he says that whoever he doesn't endorse should drop out,

266
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 11: and that would make it very very difficult, very difficult

267
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 11: for Keim Paxton or whoever does not get the endorsement,

268
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 11: which we expect to be packs and we expect that

269
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 11: the endorsement probably goes to Corny. If the Atlantic is correct,

270
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 11: that would make things very difficult for Kem Paxton to

271
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 11: go on. And again that is just such big news

272
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 11: for the Republican Party because Cornet is seen as the

273
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 11: far more electable candidate come the fall, and Republicans want

274
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 11: to be able to hold on to that.

275
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 7: See.

276
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, massive amount of resources already spent on this Republican primary.

277
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: If Trump comes in and Paxton drops out, that would

278
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: save the GOP a lot of money on the Democratic side.

279
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 1: Tall Rico pulled away from Crockett at the end of

280
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 1: the race. Tell us about the primary dynamics here that

281
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: ultimately put tall Rico out on top and the nomination.

282
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 11: Outright, Yeah, I think there are a lot of different dynamics.

283
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 11: That was a very you know, as someone who sort

284
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 11: of sits backs and watched these things, a very fun

285
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 11: primary insofar as obviously Jasmine Crockett was the national name

286
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 11: right really anti Trump, big support within the African American community.

287
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 11: In James tel Rico is a state legislator. No one

288
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 11: had really heard of him until relatively recently. He had

289
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 11: gone on the Joe Rogan Show. He was seen as

290
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 11: this dynamics speaker, you know, from Austin the whole situation,

291
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 11: and essentially tall Rico was able to put together a

292
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 11: coalition of white liberals Latinos. That was the key question.

293
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 11: Could he win Latino's over He did seem to do

294
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 11: that based upon the county level results, the precinct level results,

295
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 11: and then what you saw was that Jasmine Crockett still

296
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 11: held on to that black vote. And I think the

297
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 11: big question for Democrats, especially if corn is the nominee,

298
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 11: is whether or not they can come together as a

299
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 11: party and actually give corn In a run for his money.

300
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 11: We'll just have to wait and see. But obviously it

301
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 11: was a very nasty primary. There was a third candidate,

302
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 11: Colin Aldradd who was a former congressman who's again running

303
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 11: for Congress, who had endorsed Crockett. Kamala Harris had been

304
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 11: behind Crockett, but tall Rico had run, by most people's metrics,

305
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 11: a much more aggressive and better campaign, no doubt, helped

306
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 11: out by that interview with Stephen Colbert that didn't air

307
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 11: on network and then of course on CBS, and they

308
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 11: claimed that the was censorship and then aired on YouTube,

309
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 11: and they got a whole lot of press out of that.

310
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,719
Speaker 10: Yeah, they claimed that it wasn't true, but they certainly

311
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 10: claimed that.

312
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 11: They claimed it.

313
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:14,199
Speaker 10: They claimed it.

314
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:14,640
Speaker 2: That's right.

315
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: We got thirty seconds, Harry. One other thing that happened

316
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 1: in Texas last night. Congressman Dan Crenshaw lost his primary

317
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:23,400
Speaker 1: and lost it rather handily, didn't.

318
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 11: He He lost it very handily. That was one of

319
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,400
Speaker 11: the biggest shockers of the night. You know, Trump withheld

320
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:33,400
Speaker 11: his endorsement there, Ted Cruz got behind a Crenshaw's challenger,

321
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 11: and I think it just shows that Ted Cruz still

322
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 11: a big name in Texas politics. And if you don't

323
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 11: get Trump's endorsement and a Republican primary, especially if you're incumbent,

324
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 11: you can wait. If Audio Simichos could buy see you later.

325
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,360
Speaker 11: Trump still is the heart of the GOP.

326
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 2: That's Harry Anton from CNN.

327
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 1: Harry, thanks for analyzing last night's primary results. We expect

328
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,640
Speaker 1: to hear from you throughout the year as we tracked

329
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: the midterm elections. When we come back after this break,

330
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 1: legendary basketball coach Bruce Perl joins the show. It's common

331
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: sense for the American people. I'm Scott Jennings in New

332
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: York City.

333
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 10: Stay with us. You don't want to miss a thing.

334
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: Hey, it's Scott and I'm so excited to welcome Crowdhealth

335
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 1: as a new partner to The Scott Jennings Show. For

336
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: several years, I'm hearing more people voicing frustration with traditional

337
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 1: health insurance. Bad incentives baked into Obamacare have sent cost soaring.

338
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,479
Speaker 2: The rules are a maze of jargon and people feel stuck.

339
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 2: That's why I.

340
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 12: Want to tell you about my new partner, Crowdhealth. Crowdhealth

341
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 12: is an insurance. It's a community that cuts out the

342
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 12: middleman to help one another fund medical expenses, giving you

343
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:42,400
Speaker 12: more freedom, fewer surprises, and greater control over your healthcare choices.

344
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,880
Speaker 12: And when it comes to cost, members are spending hundreds

345
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:49,879
Speaker 12: less per month compared to traditional insurance. Right now, you

346
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 12: can get started for just ninety nine dollars per month

347
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 12: for your first three months.

348
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 2: When you use the.

349
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 12: Code Scott, go to join crowdhealth dot com. That's join

350
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 12: crowdhealth dot com and use code Scott again. Join crowdhealth

351
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 12: dot com code scott. Quick reminder, crowdhealth is not insurance.

352
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 12: You can opt out, take your power back, and that

353
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 12: is how we win.

354
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 9: News comment and the stories in facts the mainstream media

355
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 9: refuses to discuss. It's the Scott Jennings Shop.

356
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 10: Okay, It's Wednesday, March the fourth.

357
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,880
Speaker 1: Scott Jennings here broadcasting on Salem Line from New York City.

358
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: The breaking political news right now is that apparently, and

359
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 1: this flows out of the Texas primary results last night. Apparently,

360
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 1: And in a statement, President Trump says he is about

361
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 1: to make an endorsement in the Texas Senate race. The

362
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: results last night put John corn in the incumbent, slightly

363
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: ahead of his challenger, Ken Paxton, who's the Attorney General.

364
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 1: Neither got to fifty percent, so they would be headed

365
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: to a runoff, a very costly and I'm sure nasty

366
00:19:55,640 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 1: runoff come May. But if President Trump makes an endorsement

367
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,159
Speaker 1: in this race, and there is some reporting indicating that

368
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 1: he is going to endorse John Corn in the incumbent,

369
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 1: if that happens, what President Trump has said is that

370
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 1: he would like the other person, whoever he doesn't endorse,

371
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 1: to drop out of the race. Whether they would do

372
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 1: that or not, I don't know. I can only tell

373
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 1: you that it would be difficult to defeat President Trump

374
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 1: and his candidate in a Texas primary.

375
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,919
Speaker 2: So we are watching that. We're also waiting here.

376
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 1: In just a few moments, we expect to have legendary

377
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,120
Speaker 1: basketball coach Bruce Pearl on the phone.

378
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 10: He's traveling in Nashville, Tennessee.

379
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:38,199
Speaker 1: I believe he's actually testifying before the Tennessee State Legislature today,

380
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,159
Speaker 1: and we'll hopefully get to him here in just a moment.

381
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: The other news of the day, of course, is that

382
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 1: the administration continues to project strength and confidence in the

383
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 1: military action against Iran, and they also continue to answer

384
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: questions about the motivations for the war, the rationale, and

385
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 1: the timing of it. Let's listen to Secretary of State

386
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,880
Speaker 1: Marco Rubio. He met with the press yesterday. Here's cut

387
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 1: number two.

388
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 13: Several Democrats criticized what you said and argued that the

389
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 13: question is Several Democrats criticized They're going to.

390
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 8: Always credits and we've been doing this for years.

391
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 13: Guys, they come out, I'll tell you right now, they're

392
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 13: going to come out after the briefing.

393
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 2: And say we didn't hear anything.

394
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 13: We have more questions and answers, you mark my words,

395
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 13: but we still do these briefings go ahead.

396
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 2: Their criticism was on the timeline. They said that Israel

397
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 2: is dictating the timeline for the United States. No pause.

398
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 2: You know several people on the right have also agreed

399
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 2: with that.

400
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 8: How would you.

401
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 13: Respond, books the United States made a decision under the

402
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 13: President of United States made a decision. This is intolerable.

403
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 13: Iran cannot have these missiles, cannot have these drones, cannot

404
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 13: threaten the world. The President said, this is the weakest

405
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,639
Speaker 13: they've ever been. If we don't hit them now, a

406
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 13: year from now or a year and a half from now,

407
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 13: no one will be able to touch them, and they'll

408
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 13: be able to do whatever they want. And he made

409
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 13: a decision to go, and he made a decision to

410
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 13: go and a joint operation because it gave us the

411
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 13: highest chance of success.

412
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,159
Speaker 8: And he made the decision to go first because he concluded.

413
00:21:57,760 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 2: That we were not going to get hit first.

414
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,400
Speaker 13: We were not going to absorb a blow from them.

415
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 14: We're not going to go first.

416
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 13: He was not going to run the risk that they

417
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,159
Speaker 13: could attack us before we could hit them, because in

418
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 13: addition to costing lives, it would undermine the effectiveness of

419
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 13: our operation.

420
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 1: Secretary Rubio talking to the press yesterday, and much was

421
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 1: said this morning and the briefing with Secretary Hegseth and

422
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: General Kine about the impressive and lethal coordination and cooperation

423
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 1: that the United States military.

424
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,199
Speaker 2: Is having with our ally Israel.

425
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: Let's hear from Secretary Hegseth about that here in cut

426
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,120
Speaker 1: number eighteen to.

427
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 5: Our steadfast partner, Israel, your mission is being executed with

428
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:42,159
Speaker 5: unmatched skill and iron determination. Fighting shoulder to shoulder with

429
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 5: such a capable ally is a true force multiplier and

430
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 5: a breath of fresh air. We salute your courage and

431
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:52,679
Speaker 5: your contribution.

432
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 2: Four days in we have only.

433
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 5: Just begun to fight. America fights to win, and in

434
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 5: Operation Epic Fury, we are May God's providence cover and

435
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 5: protect our troops always.

436
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 1: Now alongside Secretary Hegseth this morning was General Cain, the

437
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 1: Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. A couple of

438
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:22,880
Speaker 1: interesting things came out of General Kin's briefing, first of all,

439
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 1: and we talked about this earlier in the show with

440
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 1: Chairman Brian Mass from the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

441
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 10: The idea that each day of.

442
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:34,120
Speaker 1: This war so far we have seen an intense degradation

443
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 1: in the volume of missiles and one way attack drones

444
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 1: that Iran has been able to use against US and

445
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 1: Israeli forces. Let's hear from General Kin about that and

446
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:47,479
Speaker 1: cut number fifteen.

447
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 4: As of this morning, US Central Command is making steady progress.

448
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 4: Iran's theater ballistic missile shots fired are down eighty six

449
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 4: percent from the first day of fighting, with a twenty

450
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 4: three percent decrease just in the last twenty four hours,

451
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 4: and their one way attack drone shots are down seventy

452
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 4: three percent from the opening days. This progress has allowed

453
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 4: Sentcom to establish localized air superiority across the southern flank

454
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 4: of the Iranian coast and penetrate their defenses with overwhelming

455
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 4: precision and firepower. We will now begin to expand inland,

456
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 4: striking progressively deeper into Iranian territory and creating additional freedom

457
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 4: of maneuver for US forces, and.

458
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 1: Gave an intense briefing this morning. One other thing that

459
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 1: has happened since nineteen forty five, a United States submarine

460
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 1: has not sunk an enemy craft until now. General Kane announced,

461
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 1: for the first time since World War II, a United

462
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: States Navy fast attack submarine sunk an enemy combatant ship.

463
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:06,920
Speaker 1: Let's hear a little bit about that and cut number

464
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 1: twenty five.

465
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 4: To date, we've hit over two thousand targets. As Admiral

466
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:15,680
Speaker 4: Cooper said in his video last night, we've destroyed more

467
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:21,120
Speaker 4: than twenty Iranian naval vessels, including in addition to the

468
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:27,119
Speaker 4: frigate outside of the area one submarine and effectively neutralized

469
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 4: at this point in time, rand's major naval presence in

470
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:35,679
Speaker 4: theater out there. As the Secretary showed the video. For

471
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 4: the first time since nineteen forty five, a United States

472
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 4: Navy fast attack submarine has sunk an enemy combatant ship

473
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 4: using a single Mark forty eight torpedo to achieve immediate effects,

474
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 4: sending the warship to the bottom of the sea.

475
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: General Kin talking about I mean, if you've logged onto

476
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,120
Speaker 1: social media and seen the President, by the way, has

477
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: used social media to post the video of the torpedo

478
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 1: hitting the Iranian warship, it is quite something, you know.

479
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,400
Speaker 1: Someone we haven't heard from much this week, but had

480
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: some comments this morning, Speaker Mike Johnson talking about the

481
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 1: overall policy in the posture of the United States here

482
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 1: and its attacks on Iran. Let's listen to Speaker Johnson

483
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 1: here in cut number twenty about how he thinks everything

484
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: is going.

485
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 15: One last note, there's a misconception that Operation Epicure is

486
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 15: in any way a diversion from Republican demands for peace.

487
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 14: It's the opposite.

488
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 15: Peace is not secured through appeasement, and it's certainly not

489
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 15: secured by air dropping billions of dollars on terrorist regimes,

490
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 15: which is what previous Democrat administrations have done. Peace is

491
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 15: secured through strength that is the principle that our party

492
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 15: has stood for my entire life, and on principle before

493
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 15: that articulated the idea of peace through strength. That's what

494
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:53,199
Speaker 15: this administration is demonstrating, and that is why America is

495
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:56,479
Speaker 15: the last great superpower on the planet and all freedom

496
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,439
Speaker 15: loving people around the world are grateful to God for that.

497
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 1: All right, we'll catch up on the latest on Iran

498
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 1: later in the show. We're expecting I think White House

499
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 1: Press Secretary of Caroline Levitt to do a briefing today,

500
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: so if anything breaks on that, we will let you know.

501
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 1: And now we do live from Nashville, Tennessee, have legendary

502
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:19,199
Speaker 1: basketball coach, my friend, Bruce Pearl, former head coach at Auburn,

503
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 1: now analyst for T and T Sports and CBS Sports.

504
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 1: He is an outspoken advocate for America's Jewish community and

505
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 1: also now affiliated with the America First Policy Institute. Am

506
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 1: I correct and understanding that we have Bruce Pearl on

507
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 1: the phone.

508
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 7: You got me, Scott. That's great to be with you.

509
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,119
Speaker 1: Glad to hear your voice, my friend, and we're grateful

510
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 1: for your time today. I wanted to talk to you

511
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 1: about the war effort and about overall issues related to

512
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 1: the United States alliance with Israel, and I want to

513
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 1: play a clip for you that frankly outrages me and

514
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:55,639
Speaker 1: has outraged many Americans this morning. This is California Governor

515
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:59,880
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom. Last night last night he had comments about

516
00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 1: it is. We're going to listen to these comments and

517
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 1: will react, but prepare to be disgusted here in Gavin

518
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 1: Newsom cut number six.

519
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 16: And a lot of Democrats have looked at the Net

520
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 16: and Yahoo regime and felt like, you know what, we

521
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,159
Speaker 16: don't like the trajectory he's on. It's time to rethink

522
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 16: the US relationship with Israel, especially military support.

523
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:21,880
Speaker 2: We're just taking that easy right now.

524
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 17: Let's talk about that. But the issue of BB's interesting

525
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 17: because he's got his own domestic issues. He's trying to

526
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 17: stay out of jail, he's got an election coming up,

527
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 17: he's potentially on the ropes. He's got folks the hard

528
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 17: line that want to annex the West the West Bank,

529
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 17: I mean, Freeman and others are talking about it appropriately

530
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 17: sort of an apartheid state. They couldn't even I mean,

531
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 17: we're talking about regime change for two years. They haven't

532
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 17: even able to solve the Hamas question in Israel. So

533
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 17: this is I mean, you know, I want to be

534
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 17: careful here, but you know, in so many ways that

535
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 17: influence in the context of the conversational where Trump ultimately

536
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 17: landed on this, he's pretty damn self evident.

537
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom called Israel in apartheid state. Gavin Newsom apparently

538
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 1: has no understanding of the connection between Iran and Hamas.

539
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 1: And apparently Gavin Newsom coach Pearl looks at this situation

540
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 1: and believes the United States is on the wrong side,

541
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 1: that we should be, I guess, helping Iran and not Israel.

542
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 2: How does all this hit your ear?

543
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 7: I don't even know where to begin. But you're listening

544
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 7: to a politician. You're not listening to a leader. You're

545
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 7: not listening to a president. You're not really listening to

546
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 7: a governor. You're listening to a clown. The current leadership

547
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 7: in Israel is supported by the current opposition in Israel

548
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 7: because they're fighting for their survival. But what does a

549
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 7: politician do he talks about he's fighting, he's on the ropes,

550
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 7: he's got an election, he's got domestic issues, he's trying

551
00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 7: to stand a jail that sounds like a p petician.

552
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 7: That's not what Prime Minister Netnyahui is. He's a leader

553
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 7: of the State of Israel who has been in a

554
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 7: resistantial battle for their survival since their state was born

555
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 7: eighty years ago. And when we hear people say that

556
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 7: they don't think it's a very good idea for the

557
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 7: Iranians to get a nuclear weapon, we need to thank

558
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 7: the State of Israel, and particularly the Prime Minister of

559
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 7: the State of Israel, Benjamin net Yahoo for his life service.

560
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 7: Who would place number one on that list not allowing

561
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 7: the Iranian terrorist regime to acquire a nuclear weapon. They

562
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 7: already have the ballistic missiles to deliver such a weapon,

563
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 7: and they've demonstrated by their actions over since nineteen seventy

564
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 7: nine their willingness to be able to use it. These

565
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 7: comments are disgusting, they're inaccurate, they're political, and all I

566
00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 7: can say is thank God for President Donald Trump and

567
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 7: thank God for the people in the United States of

568
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 7: America that made the choice to bring him back into

569
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 7: office to make our country great again and save the world.

570
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:13,959
Speaker 10: Yeah, amen to that, Coach Pearl.

571
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 1: I was asked on CNN last night, well, what changed Scott,

572
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 1: you know why now they've always been able to strike

573
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 1: us with these missiles. And I'll say, I said, Abby,

574
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 1: you know what changed. We finally had a president with

575
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 1: the you know what's to do something about it. This

576
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:29,959
Speaker 1: should have, as President Trump said, this should have been

577
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 1: taken care of years ago. Now the threat is imminent.

578
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 1: Now it's being taken care of. We no longer issue

579
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 1: empty threats. We follow up on them. Coach Bruce Pearl,

580
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 1: thanks for calling in. I know you're busy down in Nashville,

581
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 1: Tennessee today, and we're grateful for your time.

582
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 10: We have to take a break now.

583
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 1: When we come back, we're going to be talking about

584
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 1: an important piece of legislation that's coming up in the

585
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 1: House this week. You don't want to miss that here

586
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 1: on the Scott Sheenning Show. You know, gold and silver

587
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 1: recently soared to record highs and then pulled back, So

588
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 1: our precious metal still a goodbye. Many Wall Street experts

589
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 1: predict higher prices ahead. Why well, because we still have

590
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 1: trillions in national debt, a declining dollar, and inflation that

591
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 1: keeps shrinking our savings. Even with corrections along the way,

592
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 1: gold remains a historical hedge for wealth protection. That's why

593
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: Morgan Stanley's chief investment officer ditched the sixty forty stocks

594
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 1: in bonds portfolio and is recommending up to twenty percent

595
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:33,680

604
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:06,719
Speaker 9: Ready for more common sense here, CNN senior political commentator

605
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 9: New York Times best selling author at America's favorite political pundit,

606
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 9: Scott chattings, you.

607
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 1: Know, here's something that every parent needs to hear, and

608
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 1: that is that more kids are being targeted online through

609
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 1: gaming platforms, social media and messaging apps. Our friends and

610
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 1: partners at Child Help hear from children every day who

611
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 1: were contacted through these games and apps. Kids who were groomed, manipulated,

612
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 1: threatened by adults or pretending to be somebody else. One

613
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 1: boy in fact reached out to child Help's chat hotline.

614
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 1: The boy was terrified and ashamed. An adult that he

615
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 1: met in an online game was demanding photos and threatening

616
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 1: to lie to his parents if he didn't comply. He

617
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 1: didn't know what to do. He calls up child Help,

618
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 1: and that chat with child Help may well have saved

619
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 1: his life. That's why child Help matters. That's why I

620
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 1: personally donate and trust these guys. I'm asking you to

621
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 1: donate to their life saving programs. Every twenty seven dollars

622
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 1: help save one child from abuse. You can do it

623
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 1: at childhelp dot org, slash Scott or text child Help

624
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 1: to nine four eight seven eight. I encourage you to

625
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:18,319
Speaker 1: give just twenty seven dollars today and to continue this

626
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 1: discussion about what can be done to protect kids online.

627
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:26,760
Speaker 1: Melissa McKay is here, the president of the Digital Childhood Institute. Melissa,

628
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,440
Speaker 1: welcome into the Scott Shedding Show.

629
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 18: Thank you so much for having me.

630
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 2: Glad to see you there.

631
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 1: And Melissa, there is a piece of legislation up in

632
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 1: the House Energy and Commerce Committee tomorrow. It is called

633
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 1: the App Store Accountability Act. In your opinion is this

634
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:49,840
Speaker 1: what we need to better protect kids from online predators.

635
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 18: One hundred percent. I've been a child online safety advocate

636
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 18: for almost ten years. I've worked on around a dozen

637
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:59,239
Speaker 18: pieces of legislation and tried all sorts of things to

638
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 18: fix the online safety problem, and this is one of

639
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:07,280
Speaker 18: my favorite pieces of legislation. It's very simple, it's very elegant.

640
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 18: It gives parents the tools they need to protect their

641
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:10,839
Speaker 18: own kids online.

642
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 1: Let's get into a little more detail about the bill.

643
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 1: What exactly does it do if it were to pass

644
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:19,839
Speaker 1: and be signed into law. What changes would we see

645
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 1: in the way children and parents are interacting with these

646
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 1: app stores.

647
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 2: Sure, there's three parts of the bill.

648
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 18: The first part is it requires parntal consent for every

649
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 18: app downloaded in app purchase. And the reason that we're

650
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:35,720
Speaker 18: requiring that is that every app download is a huge,

651
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 18: fifty page contract the kids have to sign that gives

652
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 18: access to their data and other stuff to not only

653
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:45,319
Speaker 18: you know, trillion dollar tech companies, but even tiny developers.

654
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,239
Speaker 18: So we always feel like that if there is a

655
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 18: child contracting with a trillion dollar company, there should be

656
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 18: an adult involved.

657
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:56,320
Speaker 10: The second piece is age Oh sorry, go ahead, yeh.

658
00:35:56,160 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 18: Go ahead? The second piece is ager if at the

659
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 18: apstore level where it's more centralized and private. And the

660
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 18: final piece that's just so critical is it for the

661
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 18: first time, we're requiring apps to actually rate themselves appropriately.

662
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 18: Up until now, for the last fifteen years, it's just

663
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:17,320
Speaker 18: been a self operation where apps get to basically claim

664
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 18: almost whatever they want about their safety, and we're now

665
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:22,800
Speaker 18: tying that to deceptive advertising laws.

666
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:28,279
Speaker 1: So, as we mentioned, this legislation is being marked up

667
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:31,440
Speaker 1: in the House Energy and Commerce Committee. I think tomorrow.

668
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 1: What's your political assessment? Does it have a lot of support?

669
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 1: Where do you see members of Congress coming down on this?

670
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:40,399
Speaker 1: What's the scoreboard right now?

671
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 18: Oh, there's an enormous amount of political support. About one

672
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:48,239
Speaker 18: hundred and eighty of the largest and most established child

673
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:51,799
Speaker 18: safety organizations across the United States support this. So we're

674
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 18: just thrilled to see this being advanced in Congress. I

675
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:57,239
Speaker 18: think there'll be a lot of support as soon as

676
00:36:57,239 --> 00:36:58,839
Speaker 18: it gets on the floor. I think there's a lot

677
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:01,800
Speaker 18: of jockeying to decide and what gets out of committee,

678
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:03,720
Speaker 18: and we're just so happy to be on the list.

679
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 1: And where is the tech industry on this? I know

680
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,320
Speaker 1: there's a lot of interest, a lot of companies at play.

681
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 1: Are they generally for it? Are they trying to get

682
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:15,359
Speaker 1: it across the finish line? Where do those players fall out?

683
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:19,440
Speaker 18: Yeah, you know it. I think that it depends the

684
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 18: Obviously apps source. This is the first time they're being

685
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:25,319
Speaker 18: regulated that I know of in history. So Apple and

686
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 18: Google have come out swinging. They're putting out deceptions and

687
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 18: this representations about the App Store Accountability Act, so obviously

688
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 18: they hate it. I think other tech companies fall on

689
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,719
Speaker 18: a spectrum. But we just know that all the child

690
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 18: advocates love the bills.

691
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 1: So all right, well, we'll be watching this testimony and

692
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 1: the House Energy and Commerce Committee. The legislation is called

693
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 1: the App Store Accountability Act. And that voice you've been

Speaker 1: quick note the cruise. The cruise is coming in November.

710
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:40,319
Speaker 3: Of free speech, the truth delivered, Common Sense for the

711
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:41,360
Speaker 3: American people.

712
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 2: Welcome to the Scott Jennings Show.

713
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 1: It is Wednesday, March fourth, Common Sense for the American people.

714
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:52,239
Speaker 1: Scott Jedting's here with all the breaking news today, and

715
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:54,839
Speaker 1: let's in fact get a quick check of the headlines.

716
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:58,319
Speaker 1: The White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt is at the

717
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 1: podium briefing the press there in the briefing room, and

718
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:04,399
Speaker 1: she's made a little bit of news on the war

719
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 1: effort as it relates to Spain. Now, you might know

720
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 1: that Spain was not wanting to allow the United States

721
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 1: to use certain military bases for operations, there being a

722
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 1: little bit of a bad friend if you look at

723
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:20,279
Speaker 1: it in a certain way. Caroline Levitt, though, had an

724
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:22,919
Speaker 1: update on that. Let's listen to her and cut number

725
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:23,800
Speaker 1: twenty eight.

726
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 19: To the economy and the cost of oils spiking. Is

727
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:32,920
Speaker 19: there a need to start those navy escorts in the

728
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 19: straight up FORMUS now to sort of blunt the impact

729
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:38,360
Speaker 19: to people. And also because Spain is a member of

730
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:41,799
Speaker 19: the EU, does that at all put a wrinkle in

731
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:43,400
Speaker 19: the President's plan for a trade of.

732
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 7: Bargo with them.

733
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:48,840
Speaker 20: With respect to Spain, I think they heard the President's

734
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 20: message yesterday loud and clear, and it's my understanding over

735
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 20: the past several hours they've agreed to cooperate with the

736
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:59,320
Speaker 20: US military, and so I know that the US military

737
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 20: as coordinated with their counterparts in Spain. But the President

738
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:06,400
Speaker 20: expects all of our European allies, of course, to cooperate

739
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:08,880
Speaker 20: in this long sought after mission not just for the

740
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 20: United States, but also for Europe to crush the rogue

741
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 20: Iranian regime that again not only threatens America, but also

742
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 20: threatens our European allies as well with respect to oil

743
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:20,839
Speaker 20: prices in the economy here at home. Of course, this

744
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:24,840
Speaker 20: is something that Secretary Best Secretary right, the National Economic

745
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 20: Council of Energy that is led by Governor Secretary Burgham

746
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:32,840
Speaker 20: excuse me, has been long working on and well in advance. Yesterday,

747
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:36,880
Speaker 20: President Trump announced the US Development Finance Corporation will provide

748
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 20: political risk insurance at a very reasonable price for crude

749
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 20: carriers and cargo ships operating in and around the Gulf.

750
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:46,239
Speaker 20: And as you pointed out, Jackie, the President said, if

751
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:50,440
Speaker 20: necessary and win appropriate, the US Navy will begin escorting

752
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:53,319
Speaker 20: tankers through the Strait of her moves. I think it

753
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 20: speaks to why this action was so necessary that.

754
00:40:56,760 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 1: Ultimately Caroline Levitt briefing reporters a few minutes ago saying

755
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:04,840
Speaker 1: that it's her understanding that Spain is now cooperating with

756
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 1: the US military, which would be a good development. And

757
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:10,480
Speaker 1: a quick note on the military operations. As you know,

758
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:14,439
Speaker 1: we've had six American soldiers killed in the fighting so far.

759
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 1: The War Department has identified four of them. Let's listen

760
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:18,800
Speaker 1: to cut number sixteen.

761
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:21,440
Speaker 2: It's just in some sad news.

762
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:24,799
Speaker 21: The Pentagon just released the identities of four of the

763
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:28,399
Speaker 21: six US service members who have been killed in this war.

764
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 21: This specifically happened during an Iranian drone strike Sunday in Kuwait.

765
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:36,200
Speaker 21: The soldiers are thirty five year old Captain Cody Cork,

766
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:40,720
Speaker 21: forty two year old Sergeant first class Noah Tgians, thirty

767
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 21: nine year old Sergeant first Class Nicola Moore, and twenty

768
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:47,840
Speaker 21: year old Sergeant Declan Cody. All four were assigned to

769
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 21: the one hundred and third Command. It's an Army Reserve

770
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:53,720
Speaker 21: Sustainment union out of Iowa. We'll bring you more about

771
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 21: the casualties when we get more details about them and

772
00:41:57,040 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 21: their photographs. May their memories be a blessing. Our deepest

773
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:01,720
Speaker 21: condolences to their friends and family.

774
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:06,320
Speaker 10: That was my CNN colleague, Jake Tapper doing that reporting,

775
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 10: and indeed, may God rest the souls of these brave soldiers.

776
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:12,399
Speaker 10: They died fighting for a noble cause, and they died

777
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 10: fighting by the way, for their country, Their country, the

778
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 10: United States of America. Unlike the disgusting assertions that they

779
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:27,440
Speaker 10: died for someone else or some other country made by

780
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:30,839
Speaker 10: people like Megan Kelly, despicable, disgusting thing to.

781
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 1: Say, these are American heroes. They died fighting for the

782
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 1: United States of America. We now turn to education news.

783
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 1: Jewish students being harassed, teachers' unions, fighting against school choice,

784
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 1: school administrators hiding gender transitions from parents. We have covered

785
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:50,719
Speaker 1: a lot on education in the last few weeks, but

786
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 1: there is some good news for parents who might be

787
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 1: looking for new and better choices. Our guests this hour

788
00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:01,240
Speaker 1: Tommy Schultz, as the CEO of the American Federation for Children,

789
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:06,280
Speaker 1: the nation's largest school choice advocacy group dedicated to empowering families,

790
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:09,640
Speaker 1: especially low income families, with the freedom to choose the

791
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:13,680
Speaker 1: best K through twelve education for their children. Tommy, Welcome

792
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:14,759
Speaker 1: into the Scott Sheenning Show.

793
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:17,399
Speaker 2: Thanks for having me.

794
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, appreciate your time today. Let's start here the Education

795
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 1: Freedom tax Credit, which came into law from the One

796
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 1: Big Beautiful Bill last summer. Tell us about this tax credit,

797
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 1: tell us about the program, and tell us about the

798
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:38,160
Speaker 1: status of the individual states opting in to the program.

799
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:38,480
Speaker 11: Sure.

800
00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:41,959
Speaker 22: Look, this really is, in my view, the best kept

801
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:45,280
Speaker 22: secret in the One Big Beautiful Bill. So most people

802
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 22: are aware now of the Trump Account system where people

803
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:52,239
Speaker 22: can invest for the lifetime of their child in their

804
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 22: financial security. But at the end of the day, something

805
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 22: that's going to come online January one of twenty twenty

806
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:00,400
Speaker 22: seven next year is something that's going to have an

807
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 22: immediate impact on your kid's educational destiny. So basically, it's

808
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:10,000
Speaker 22: a tax credit for donations to scholarship granting organizations, either.

809
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 2: Locally or nationally.

810
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:13,719
Speaker 22: And what that means is that every single person in

811
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:17,120
Speaker 22: America with a federal income tax liability can donate up

812
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:20,479
Speaker 22: to seventeen hundred dollars and they can get a one

813
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:23,799
Speaker 22: hundred percent federal income tax credit for that. So if

814
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:26,279
Speaker 22: you had owed Uncle Sam about seventeen hundred bucks, you

815
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:28,600
Speaker 22: could just redirect that funding to a local five oh

816
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:31,560
Speaker 22: one C three that's giving out scholarships to needy kids.

817
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:35,280
Speaker 22: You mentioned states and the state of play So basically

818
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:38,719
Speaker 22: every Republican governor has opted into this. Jared Polus, the

819
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:43,200
Speaker 22: first Democratic governor to opt in, has signaled to his

820
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:46,680
Speaker 22: state and to the rest of his colleagues other Democratic

821
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 22: governors that this is a no brainer because scholarships can

822
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 22: actually be used for things like tutoring services for students

823
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:56,959
Speaker 22: in public charter schools or even district schools. So yes,

824
00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 22: most of the money I imagine will be used for

825
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:02,839
Speaker 22: scholarships to let families go to access a private school

826
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 22: of their choice, but there's a lot of allowable uses

827
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:07,799
Speaker 22: within the law. In my view, Scott, this is the

828
00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:10,640
Speaker 22: biggest philanthropic change that we have made to the tax

829
00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:14,200
Speaker 22: code basically since the early nineteen hundreds, because now all

830
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:18,560
Speaker 22: of a sudden, billions of dollars of private, voluntary contributions

831
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 22: can be coming off the sidelines into K through twelve education.

832
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:25,200
Speaker 1: Let's talk about what's going on with the federal bureaucracy

833
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:27,920
Speaker 1: in Washington. As you know, the President, he made school

834
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:30,840
Speaker 1: choice one of his big focuses during the campaign. He

835
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 1: also talked about the bureaucracy and the federal government and

836
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 1: his opinion being in the way of education and really

837
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:40,240
Speaker 1: doing nothing to improve test scores. There's been a steady

838
00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:44,480
Speaker 1: dismantling of the bureaucracy under Education Secretary Linda McMahon.

839
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:45,720
Speaker 10: How is that going?

840
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:46,640
Speaker 2: In your opinion?

841
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:50,799
Speaker 1: Is the President remaking the federal education bureaucracy in a

842
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:54,400
Speaker 1: way that is, in your opinion, advancing the interests of

843
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:56,680
Speaker 1: children rather than I think what we've seen in the past,

844
00:45:56,719 --> 00:46:00,400
Speaker 1: which is a bureaucracy advancing the interests of teachers, unions,

845
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:01,760
Speaker 1: and the bureaucracy itself.

846
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:04,879
Speaker 2: Oh, you're totally right.

847
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:07,280
Speaker 22: I mean, this is the trend lines that Secretary man

848
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:10,839
Speaker 22: President Trump are on in terms of undoing what I

849
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:12,880
Speaker 22: believe is probably one of the most central failures in

850
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:18,600
Speaker 22: our education policy across the country, which is centralizing education rules, regulations,

851
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 22: decision making in Washington, d C. Utterly failed attempts over

852
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:25,280
Speaker 22: the years, billions and billions of dollars that have flown

853
00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:29,120
Speaker 22: from Washington, d C with nefarious strings attached, co opting

854
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:31,560
Speaker 22: and preempting states to do its bidding. When at the

855
00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:33,040
Speaker 22: end of the day, as you mentioned, test scores have

856
00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:35,120
Speaker 22: just been on a steady decline, and they've fallen off

857
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:38,240
Speaker 22: dramatically since COVID. Some of the numbers that we're seeing

858
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:40,959
Speaker 22: in some of the latest national test scores, it's worse

859
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:43,720
Speaker 22: than when we started measuring these things in the nineteen nineties.

860
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:47,319
Speaker 22: So when you add up the total tally, we've sent

861
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 22: trillions of dollars of federal taxpayer funding from Washington, d

862
00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:54,200
Speaker 22: C all around the country only to have our kids

863
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:56,800
Speaker 22: be as dumb as they ever have been. It's really

864
00:46:56,840 --> 00:46:59,000
Speaker 22: a tragedy given in through we are the richest, most

865
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:01,080
Speaker 22: powerful country in the world. And that's why, at the

866
00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:04,000
Speaker 22: end of the day, this massive new opportunity that's been

867
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 22: created thanks to the one big, beautiful bill where every

868
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 22: family in America can suddenly potentially gain access to school

869
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:14,040
Speaker 22: choice opportunities thanks to the Education Freedom Tax Credit. This

870
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:16,120
Speaker 22: is one of the most significant policy moves we've ever

871
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:18,080
Speaker 22: seen that at the end of the day, it's a

872
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:20,160
Speaker 22: tax credit. So as you know, Scott, this is going

873
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:22,160
Speaker 22: to be run out of the Department of the Treasury.

874
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:25,360
Speaker 22: So if and when the Department of Education ends and closes,

875
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:28,480
Speaker 22: this will have no nexus within the Department of Education

876
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:31,400
Speaker 22: or that bureaucracy at all. This is just a tax

877
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:35,279
Speaker 22: credit for donations to scholarship groups Treasury departments. Scott be

878
00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:37,480
Speaker 22: senting his team. They're writing the rules and regulations as

879
00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:40,160
Speaker 22: we speak. It comes online next year. So some of

880
00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:42,720
Speaker 22: the biggest levers we've ever pulled in terms of getting

881
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:44,800
Speaker 22: this country back on track in terms of K through twelve.

882
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:48,840
Speaker 1: Tommy Schultz is the CEO of the American Federation for Children. Tommy,

883
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:53,120
Speaker 1: where do we find you online? On social media?

884
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:56,240
Speaker 22: Check us out at School Choice noow dot org. We also,

885
00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 22: in order to service this massive new federal tax credit opportunity,

886
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:03,880
Speaker 22: I've created a scholarship fund AFC Scholarship Fund dot com.

887
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:06,399
Speaker 22: We'll get you to us there much more to come.

888
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:08,520
Speaker 22: Would be happy to get in touch when the Treasury

889
00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:10,440
Speaker 22: rules and regulations get riding, because I think that will

890
00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:13,040
Speaker 22: give governors a lot of clarity. Families all across the

891
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:15,960
Speaker 22: country will know is my child eligible? Will we be

892
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:17,880
Speaker 22: able to contribute all those things? Happy to give you

893
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:18,600
Speaker 22: further updates.

894
00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:21,480
Speaker 1: Tommy Schultz there one of the good guys trying to

895
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:23,200
Speaker 1: make schools better for your kids.

896
00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 10: Thanks for coming on the show today.

897
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:28,400
Speaker 1: Quick listener note coming in from Eileen in Kentucky. Eileen,

898
00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:32,279
Speaker 1: eighty seven years old, one of my fellow Kentuckians. She

899
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:34,920
Speaker 1: was nice enough to send us a note about Relief Factor.

900
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:36,960
Speaker 1: She said she was getting to a point where walking

901
00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:39,799
Speaker 1: and doing other things had become really difficult. She thought, well,

902
00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:41,759
Speaker 1: I'm just getting older. I guess it has to be

903
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:45,040
Speaker 1: that way. Then she says, I tried Relief Factor. Now

904
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:48,439
Speaker 1: she's dancing around again, running around. She started with three

905
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:51,080
Speaker 1: packets a day, now she's down to two. She's seen

906
00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:54,280
Speaker 1: real improvement in her life. Eighty seven years old, Eileen.

907
00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:57,759
Speaker 1: If you're having aches and pains, my advice, based on

908
00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:00,279
Speaker 1: what I'm hearing from real people, is to try either

909
00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:02,480
Speaker 1: Relief Factor three week quick start plan. You can do

910
00:49:02,520 --> 00:49:05,440
Speaker 1: it by calling one eight hundred four Relief or go

911
00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:07,640
Speaker 1: to relief factor dot com. Could you be the next

912
00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:11,759
Speaker 1: Eileen Maybe if you try relief factor when we come back.

913
00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:16,040
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom once again disgraces himself and shows himself unfit

914
00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:18,160
Speaker 1: for the presidency. We'll discuss when we come back. It's

915
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:20,560
Speaker 1: Scott Jennings on Salem fighting.

916
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:23,680
Speaker 9: The left with the best weapon we have, common sense.

917
00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:26,000
Speaker 9: This is the Scott Jenny Show.

918
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:31,920
Speaker 1: Well, we have yet another bone to pick with the

919
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:36,399
Speaker 1: hapless clown Gavin Newsom. It seems that this man can

920
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:40,520
Speaker 1: never quite act normal, and this time it is with

921
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:44,880
Speaker 1: some truly disgusting attacks on Israel and the Jewish community.

922
00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:51,080
Speaker 1: It is breathtaking in its ignorance, and I honestly cannot

923
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:54,440
Speaker 1: believe that this man is being taken seriously as a

924
00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:58,719
Speaker 1: presidential candidate. Last night, at a book event, alongside of

925
00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:03,840
Speaker 1: a couple of the pod Save America goobers, Gavin Newsom

926
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:09,560
Speaker 1: made accusations that Israel is an apartheid state, which is

927
00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:13,280
Speaker 1: a ridiculous and be one of the anti Semitic tropes

928
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:15,879
Speaker 1: you hear running around out there. He made a number

929
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:20,480
Speaker 1: of awful, ignorant, stupid, ridiculous claims. Let's listen to Newsom

930
00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:21,560
Speaker 1: here and cut number.

931
00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:24,920
Speaker 16: Six, and a lot of Democrats have looked at the

932
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:29,040
Speaker 16: Net and Yahoo regime and felt like, you know what,

933
00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:31,680
Speaker 16: we don't like the trajectory he's on. It's time to

934
00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:35,000
Speaker 16: rethink the US relationship with Israel, especially military support.

935
00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:36,799
Speaker 2: We are you taking that easy right now?

936
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:39,760
Speaker 17: Let's talk about that. But the issue of BB's interesting

937
00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:43,920
Speaker 17: because he's got his own domestic issues. He's trying to

938
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:48,200
Speaker 17: stay out of jail, he's got an election coming up,

939
00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:52,480
Speaker 17: he's potentially on the ropes. He's got folks the hard

940
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:54,919
Speaker 17: line that want to annex the West the West Bank,

941
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:57,920
Speaker 17: I mean, freemen and others are talking about it appropriately

942
00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:01,319
Speaker 17: sort of an apartheid state. They couldn't even I mean,

943
00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:04,640
Speaker 17: we're talking about regime change for two years. They haven't

944
00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:06,400
Speaker 17: even been able to solve the Hamas.

945
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:08,000
Speaker 23: Question in Israel.

946
00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:11,520
Speaker 17: So this is I mean, you know, I want to

947
00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:14,200
Speaker 17: be careful here, but you know, in so many ways

948
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:17,319
Speaker 17: that influence in the context of the conversational where Trump

949
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:20,160
Speaker 17: ultimately landed on this is pretty damn self evident.

950
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:25,120
Speaker 1: That was Gavin Newsom, the governor of California, And I

951
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:28,240
Speaker 1: just want to bring attention to this clip to all

952
00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:33,080
Speaker 1: Jewish Democrats out there. This is your party now, this

953
00:51:33,120 --> 00:51:35,560
Speaker 1: is where they are headed. The front runner for the

954
00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:38,719
Speaker 1: Democratic nomination in twenty twenty eight is accusing Israel of

955
00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:42,799
Speaker 1: being an apartheid state. And the multi millionaire guys who

956
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:46,680
Speaker 1: made their living being Obama era establishment types, the pro

957
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:50,719
Speaker 1: Iran Obama White House guys. They're clapping along like seals.

958
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:56,319
Speaker 1: This is the future of the Democratic Party. Who are

959
00:51:56,360 --> 00:51:58,720
Speaker 1: the candidates getting the most attention in these twenty twenty

960
00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:02,800
Speaker 1: six primaries right now? Well, it's candidates like Graham Platner

961
00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:07,160
Speaker 1: in Maine, a man with a Nazi tattoo, who just

962
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:09,440
Speaker 1: a few days ago sat down for an interview with

963
00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:13,480
Speaker 1: a rabid anti Semite and has since retweeted the content

964
00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:18,200
Speaker 1: of Holocaust deniers. You have a guy named Abdul l

965
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:21,839
Speaker 1: Sayed in Michigan running in a primary there. He has

966
00:52:21,920 --> 00:52:26,040
Speaker 1: repeatedly claimed, without evidence and erroneously, that Israel is committing

967
00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:31,239
Speaker 1: a genocide. In many of these Democratic primaries, the contest

968
00:52:31,320 --> 00:52:37,040
Speaker 1: to out Palestine the other is laughable and ridiculous, but

969
00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:39,600
Speaker 1: that's what they think they do. He need to do

970
00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:43,920
Speaker 1: in order to win, doesn't matter how moderate or different

971
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:47,600
Speaker 1: a candidate is. Whoever, the Democratic nominee is in twenty

972
00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:53,600
Speaker 1: eight seems destined to be parroting these anti Israel, anti

973
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:57,839
Speaker 1: Semitic lines. They think it's the only way they can

974
00:52:57,880 --> 00:53:02,520
Speaker 1: get elected in such a prime with a radical voting base.

975
00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:07,000
Speaker 1: Any candidate whose political position isn't based in blood libel,

976
00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:11,800
Speaker 1: I mean, who's left in the Democratic Party, John Fetterman

977
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 1: at this point, that's about it. The rest of them

978
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:19,359
Speaker 1: know they could probably not win a primary if they

979
00:53:19,440 --> 00:53:23,399
Speaker 1: said something reasonable, if they said something other than these

980
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:24,880
Speaker 1: hateful statements.

981
00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:26,560
Speaker 10: About our ally Israel. Think about it.

982
00:53:26,600 --> 00:53:30,360
Speaker 1: We're at a war right now, our ally is Israel,

983
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:34,799
Speaker 1: and Gavin Newsom looks at this situation and says, I

984
00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:38,720
Speaker 1: think we're on the wrong side. I mean, that's obviously

985
00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:41,920
Speaker 1: Newsom's position. He said we should have a military embargo

986
00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:46,680
Speaker 1: against Israel. He says they're an apartheid state. I mean,

987
00:53:46,719 --> 00:53:48,680
Speaker 1: you get the feeling that Gavin Newsom wishes we were

988
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:49,799
Speaker 1: defending Iran.

989
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:55,600
Speaker 2: Against Israel. So that's where we are. Democrats.

990
00:53:55,680 --> 00:53:58,200
Speaker 1: If you're a Jewish American and you've been voting Democrat,

991
00:53:58,280 --> 00:54:00,799
Speaker 1: take a good look and a good listen to the

992
00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:03,040
Speaker 1: likes of Gavin Newsom and Graham Platner and others.

993
00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:04,200
Speaker 10: It's pretty disgusting.

994
00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:08,680
Speaker 1: And as Operation Epic Fury intensifies the world and we

995
00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:11,239
Speaker 1: are all bracing for what comes next. In the Holy Land,

996
00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:14,160
Speaker 1: we have sirens filling the air. It is a serious situation.

997
00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:17,839
Speaker 1: The missiles are still falling. And in times like these,

998
00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:20,719
Speaker 1: it is the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews that's

999
00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:24,960
Speaker 1: on the ground preparing large scale distributions of life saving

1000
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:29,200
Speaker 1: food and aid and essentials. They're also helping ensure that

1001
00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:33,160
Speaker 1: hospitals and emergency rooms and shelters are stocked with critical

1002
00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:37,200
Speaker 1: medical supplies. We need your help. The IFCJ needs your

1003
00:54:37,239 --> 00:54:41,160
Speaker 1: prayers and they need your support. Stand with Israel by

1004
00:54:41,239 --> 00:54:47,240
Speaker 1: going to support IFCJ dot org. That is support IFCJ

1005
00:54:47,520 --> 00:54:50,360
Speaker 1: dot org. You can help the effort here as Israel

1006
00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:54,720
Speaker 1: faces off, our ally faces off against the despots in Iran.

1007
00:54:54,920 --> 00:54:56,719
Speaker 1: When we come back, if you are interested in the

1008
00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:59,960
Speaker 1: Medicare advantage program, we have important news you don't want

1009
00:54:59,960 --> 00:55:01,720
Speaker 1: to miss it right coming up next on the Scott

1010
00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:05,320
Speaker 1: Jennings Show. Welcome back to the Scott Jennings Show. Common

1011
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:09,719
Speaker 1: Sense for the American people. Glad you're listening to our

1012
00:55:09,760 --> 00:55:14,600
Speaker 1: program today. Interesting story last week the President.

1013
00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:15,879
Speaker 2: Gave the State of the.

1014
00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:19,560
Speaker 1: Union, and he reinforced his promise to protect the safety

1015
00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:23,320
Speaker 1: net programs that take care of the nation's senior citizens,

1016
00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:26,080
Speaker 1: chiefly Medicare and Social Security.

1017
00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:28,799
Speaker 2: Let's listen to that. Here's President Trump.

1018
00:55:28,719 --> 00:55:31,680
Speaker 24: So working to make it easier for Americans to say

1019
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:36,240
Speaker 24: for retirement and under this administration, we will always protect

1020
00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:40,360
Speaker 24: Social Security and Medicare. They are not protecting it for

1021
00:55:40,520 --> 00:55:45,000
Speaker 24: our seniors. We will always protect Social Security.

1022
00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:45,960
Speaker 14: Medicare, Medicare.

1023
00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:50,920
Speaker 1: During the Biden administration, President Biden himself had promised never

1024
00:55:51,040 --> 00:55:54,440
Speaker 1: to cut Medicare, but he in fact did cut the

1025
00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:59,600
Speaker 1: Medicare advantage program, breaking that promise. Now today there are

1026
00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:03,120
Speaker 1: some leader and concerns about the Medicare advantage program. Heading

1027
00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:07,680
Speaker 1: into twenty twenty seven, The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services,

1028
00:56:07,719 --> 00:56:11,960
Speaker 1: commonly known as CMS, has proposed a near freeze on

1029
00:56:12,080 --> 00:56:16,920
Speaker 1: twenty twenty seven Medicare advantage reimbursement rates, offering a minimal

1030
00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:21,880
Speaker 1: zero point nine percent increase, which would effectively create a

1031
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:26,760
Speaker 1: flat funding environment. This proposal from CMS aims to curb

1032
00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:31,880
Speaker 1: over payments and manage rising healthcare costs, but insurers warn

1033
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:35,400
Speaker 1: it could lead to higher out of pocket costs and

1034
00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:39,359
Speaker 1: reduce benefits for over thirty five million people who use

1035
00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:43,239
Speaker 1: the Medicare Advantage program. Here to discuss all of this

1036
00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:46,160
Speaker 1: and how it might affect you is a former colleague

1037
00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:49,480
Speaker 1: of mine from the Bush forty three administration. His name

1038
00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:52,560
Speaker 1: is Darren Grubb. Darren now serves as the spokesman for

1039
00:56:52,640 --> 00:56:57,319
Speaker 1: Medicare Advantage Majority, which is a nonprofit organization dedicated to

1040
00:56:57,400 --> 00:57:00,239
Speaker 1: protecting Medicare Advantage. And it's thirty five I have a

1041
00:57:00,320 --> 00:57:02,919
Speaker 1: million users, Darren, Welcome into the Scott Chenning Show.

1042
00:57:03,920 --> 00:57:05,319
Speaker 14: Scott, great to see you man. Thank you for having

1043
00:57:05,360 --> 00:57:05,759
Speaker 14: me on today.

1044
00:57:05,800 --> 00:57:07,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, good to see you again, sir. Let's start with

1045
00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:08,360
Speaker 2: the basics.

1046
00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:12,000
Speaker 1: Maybe just tell our listeners what is Medicare Advantage?

1047
00:57:12,040 --> 00:57:13,880
Speaker 2: Why does this program exist?

1048
00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:17,520
Speaker 23: Yes, some Medicare Advantage, of course, is the public private

1049
00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:22,320
Speaker 23: partnership between the federal government and providers to offer a

1050
00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:25,680
Speaker 23: different option than the traditional Medicare and so Medicare Advantage

1051
00:57:25,720 --> 00:57:29,600
Speaker 23: provides a comprehensive, high quality, affordable care that goes beyond

1052
00:57:29,640 --> 00:57:32,800
Speaker 23: traditional fee for service Medicare, and so most Medicare Advantage

1053
00:57:32,840 --> 00:57:37,640
Speaker 23: plans include hearing coverage, dental vision in home care, prescription

1054
00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:39,800
Speaker 23: drug coverage that Medicare party that we talk so much

1055
00:57:39,800 --> 00:57:43,120
Speaker 23: about is bundled in most Medicare Advantage plans. And there's

1056
00:57:43,120 --> 00:57:45,560
Speaker 23: a cap on out of pocket costs annually, which is

1057
00:57:45,920 --> 00:57:49,720
Speaker 23: particularly important for for seniors on fixed incomes. And they

1058
00:57:49,760 --> 00:57:51,680
Speaker 23: are our priority and that's why we're talking to you today.

1059
00:57:51,840 --> 00:57:54,760
Speaker 1: And Medicare Advantage thirty five million people. I mean, it

1060
00:57:54,880 --> 00:57:57,440
Speaker 1: seems like it's working well. I mean, the people that

1061
00:57:57,560 --> 00:57:59,080
Speaker 1: use it, they tend to like it, yes.

1062
00:58:00,560 --> 00:58:00,840
Speaker 8: They do.

1063
00:58:00,960 --> 00:58:04,800
Speaker 23: Yeah, really high satisfaction rates. Enrollment remains strong year over year.

1064
00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:08,440
Speaker 23: You know, more than half of all eligible beneficiaries, as

1065
00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:11,200
Speaker 23: you mentioned, you know, thirty five million seniors and people

1066
00:58:11,200 --> 00:58:14,920
Speaker 23: with disabilities choose Medicare Advantage to meet their needs. And

1067
00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:18,080
Speaker 23: you know, again it's kind of the integrated, comprehensive, all

1068
00:58:18,120 --> 00:58:21,120
Speaker 23: in one place healthcare that seniors can use to age,

1069
00:58:21,160 --> 00:58:23,720
Speaker 23: you know, gracefully and independently and on their own terms.

1070
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:27,080
Speaker 2: So Medicare Advantage was polled last year.

1071
00:58:27,120 --> 00:58:29,840
Speaker 1: In fact, this poll at the end of twenty twenty

1072
00:58:29,840 --> 00:58:33,720
Speaker 1: five was conducted by President Trump's own polster, Tony Fabrizio.

1073
00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:38,320
Speaker 1: He polled voters in congressional battleground districts and he found

1074
00:58:38,320 --> 00:58:44,000
Speaker 1: that senior citizens overwhelmingly opposed cuts to Medicare advantage. So

1075
00:58:44,040 --> 00:58:47,280
Speaker 1: you're working on this topic every day. Do you personally

1076
00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:51,560
Speaker 1: believe that this is a powerful motivator for senior citizen

1077
00:58:51,640 --> 00:58:54,040
Speaker 1: voters and the upcoming election, the idea that we should

1078
00:58:54,040 --> 00:58:57,280
Speaker 1: not be messing around with or cutting Medicare advantage.

1079
00:58:58,280 --> 00:58:58,520
Speaker 8: Yeah.

1080
00:58:58,560 --> 00:59:01,120
Speaker 23: Absolutely, And that's what the President said in the State

1081
00:59:01,160 --> 00:59:02,480
Speaker 23: of the Union last week. You know, this is an

1082
00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:05,480
Speaker 23: issue he campaigned on at twenty twenty four, on standing

1083
00:59:05,520 --> 00:59:08,840
Speaker 23: up for seniors, protecting those safeguard safety net programs for them.

1084
00:59:09,120 --> 00:59:12,240
Speaker 23: You know, in twenty twenty four, over forty million seniors voted.

1085
00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:15,080
Speaker 23: That was the highest turnout of any age group. They

1086
00:59:15,120 --> 00:59:18,440
Speaker 23: are the most reliable and largest voting block.

1087
00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:19,200
Speaker 14: In the nation.

1088
00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:21,800
Speaker 23: And you know, we expect them to be supporting candidates

1089
00:59:21,800 --> 00:59:26,080
Speaker 23: who are supporting the Medicare advantage program. You know, the

1090
00:59:26,120 --> 00:59:28,520
Speaker 23: President his team know this. I mean Tony Brabrizo, as

1091
00:59:28,560 --> 00:59:30,520
Speaker 23: you mentioned, you know, has called this group the deciders

1092
00:59:31,160 --> 00:59:33,959
Speaker 23: and supporting. You know, any congressional candidate a generic GOP

1093
00:59:34,080 --> 00:59:37,960
Speaker 23: candidates supporting cuts to Medicare advantage drives a fourteen point

1094
00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:41,840
Speaker 23: net loss for that candidate and you know, opposing cuts

1095
00:59:41,840 --> 00:59:44,160
Speaker 23: improves they're standing with voters. You know, we've done a

1096
00:59:44,160 --> 00:59:46,840
Speaker 23: lot of pulling on this ourselves. Our own polling showed

1097
00:59:46,880 --> 00:59:50,360
Speaker 23: that seventy six percent of seniors would be less likely

1098
00:59:50,400 --> 00:59:53,200
Speaker 23: to vote for a member of Congress who supports funding

1099
00:59:53,240 --> 00:59:56,400
Speaker 23: cuts to Medicare advantage program. And so, you know, seniors are,

1100
00:59:56,440 --> 01:00:00,680
Speaker 23: they're they're they're well educated, they are they're motivated, and

1101
01:00:00,720 --> 01:00:02,600
Speaker 23: they make their voices heard when they need to. And

1102
01:00:02,640 --> 01:00:05,400
Speaker 23: you know, there's a big, important midterm election that we

1103
01:00:05,440 --> 01:00:07,480
Speaker 23: have coming up, and they've made it clear that this

1104
01:00:07,560 --> 01:00:08,960
Speaker 23: is a huge priority for them.

1105
01:00:09,120 --> 01:00:11,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm looking through the Darren, I'm looking through the

1106
01:00:11,640 --> 01:00:14,480
Speaker 1: Tony Fabrizio Pole. I mean, ninety one percent of the

1107
01:00:14,520 --> 01:00:18,280
Speaker 1: senior citizens support Medicare advantage. I mean, we sometimes talk

1108
01:00:18,280 --> 01:00:20,360
Speaker 1: a lot about eighty twenty issues. This is a ninety

1109
01:00:20,400 --> 01:00:25,000
Speaker 1: ten issue, very strong support for Medicare advantage. Eighty four

1110
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:29,600
Speaker 1: percent say they wanted Medicare Advantage funding maintained. Seventy three

1111
01:00:29,640 --> 01:00:33,560
Speaker 1: percent said cutting Medicare advantage is the same as cutting

1112
01:00:33,560 --> 01:00:37,200
Speaker 1: Medicare itself. So obviously this program is popular. Obviously people

1113
01:00:37,240 --> 01:00:39,600
Speaker 1: see the value in it. So let's talk about what's

1114
01:00:39,600 --> 01:00:41,400
Speaker 1: going on right now with the Centers for Medicare and

1115
01:00:41,440 --> 01:00:45,240
Speaker 1: Medicaid Services. They've put out this advanced notice for rates

1116
01:00:45,400 --> 01:00:49,520
Speaker 1: for twenty twenty seven, and as I mentioned at the opening,

1117
01:00:49,920 --> 01:00:53,560
Speaker 1: it's a very very minimal or incremental increase in rates.

1118
01:00:53,560 --> 01:00:57,360
Speaker 1: It effectively creates a flat funding environment. Tell us why

1119
01:00:57,400 --> 01:01:00,000
Speaker 1: this is the wrong idea for medicare advantage.

1120
01:01:00,880 --> 01:01:03,080
Speaker 23: Yeah, so CMS every years, you know that they put

1121
01:01:03,120 --> 01:01:05,160
Speaker 23: on an advanced rate notice or the first of the year,

1122
01:01:05,200 --> 01:01:08,080
Speaker 23: and then they accept public input, you know, through the

1123
01:01:08,120 --> 01:01:10,280
Speaker 23: early spring, and then April they will release the final

1124
01:01:10,360 --> 01:01:12,320
Speaker 23: rate notice. And as you said, you know, they proposed

1125
01:01:12,320 --> 01:01:15,640
Speaker 23: a nearly flat rate notice of you know, an increase

1126
01:01:15,680 --> 01:01:17,640
Speaker 23: of less than one tenth of one percent if you

1127
01:01:17,640 --> 01:01:21,040
Speaker 23: think about it that way. And here's the problem. You know, meanwhile,

1128
01:01:21,120 --> 01:01:25,040
Speaker 23: healthcare costs are climbing. You know, spending increased in twenty

1129
01:01:25,080 --> 01:01:28,480
Speaker 23: twenty four by seven point two percent, and projections are

1130
01:01:28,520 --> 01:01:30,240
Speaker 23: for twenty twenty five it's going to be an increase

1131
01:01:30,240 --> 01:01:32,720
Speaker 23: of seven point one percent. And so with health care

1132
01:01:33,040 --> 01:01:36,400
Speaker 23: cost climbing, a point zero nine percent increase in the

1133
01:01:36,440 --> 01:01:39,480
Speaker 23: federal government's investment in this critical program, it's not going

1134
01:01:39,560 --> 01:01:41,440
Speaker 23: to keep up with rising costs, and there's gonna be

1135
01:01:41,480 --> 01:01:46,840
Speaker 23: significant consequences to seniors and caregivers. You know, they're gonna

1136
01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:49,560
Speaker 23: have higher out of pocket costs, They're gonna have higher deductibles,

1137
01:01:49,640 --> 01:01:52,920
Speaker 23: higher premiums, less access to the doctors and services that

1138
01:01:52,960 --> 01:01:55,880
Speaker 23: they that they rely on in need. And yeah, it's

1139
01:01:55,880 --> 01:01:57,800
Speaker 23: a it's a it's a huge challenge right now. This

1140
01:01:57,880 --> 01:02:01,360
Speaker 23: is a very precarious moment. Or the Medicare Advantage program.

1141
01:02:01,440 --> 01:02:03,000
Speaker 1: You know, you think about all the different parts of

1142
01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:05,920
Speaker 1: the American healthcare system and you know, we often hear

1143
01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:09,680
Speaker 1: about things not working well or inefficiencies, and you know,

1144
01:02:09,720 --> 01:02:12,480
Speaker 1: there's problems throughout the system. It seems to me, just

1145
01:02:12,520 --> 01:02:15,160
Speaker 1: looking at the polling and talking to experts about it,

1146
01:02:15,160 --> 01:02:18,280
Speaker 1: that the Medicare Advantage program is actually one of the

1147
01:02:18,320 --> 01:02:20,760
Speaker 1: things that's working best in American healthcare.

1148
01:02:20,760 --> 01:02:21,320
Speaker 2: You agree with that.

1149
01:02:22,560 --> 01:02:23,440
Speaker 14: We totally agree with that.

1150
01:02:23,560 --> 01:02:25,480
Speaker 23: Yeah, I mean that's why you know, thirty five million

1151
01:02:25,640 --> 01:02:29,120
Speaker 23: seniors have chosen that program. And you know, a hallmark

1152
01:02:29,160 --> 01:02:31,760
Speaker 23: Scott is you want to know of the entire Medicare

1153
01:02:31,800 --> 01:02:36,000
Speaker 23: program is choice, and so every year seniors have the choice,

1154
01:02:36,040 --> 01:02:37,720
Speaker 23: and once they turn sixty five, they have the choice

1155
01:02:37,760 --> 01:02:40,120
Speaker 23: whether to re enroll in their current program, whether it

1156
01:02:40,160 --> 01:02:43,440
Speaker 23: be a traditional fever service Medicare plan or Medicare Advantage

1157
01:02:43,480 --> 01:02:44,760
Speaker 23: plan to.

1158
01:02:44,760 --> 01:02:47,720
Speaker 14: Meet they're the best needs for their healthcare.

1159
01:02:48,560 --> 01:02:50,760
Speaker 23: And so you know, again choice is a big part

1160
01:02:50,800 --> 01:02:51,760
Speaker 23: of it.

1161
01:02:51,800 --> 01:02:53,240
Speaker 14: As you mentioned, we've talked about.

1162
01:02:53,320 --> 01:02:57,840
Speaker 23: You know, the satisfaction rates for Medicare Advantage are extremely

1163
01:02:57,920 --> 01:03:02,720
Speaker 23: high among beneficiaries. You know, they appreciate all the services

1164
01:03:02,720 --> 01:03:06,480
Speaker 23: of Medicare provided in one comprehensive plan that makes it

1165
01:03:06,520 --> 01:03:09,160
Speaker 23: easier to go to the doc for preventative health care

1166
01:03:09,200 --> 01:03:12,080
Speaker 23: for wellness checkups, which reduces the chance that they may

1167
01:03:12,120 --> 01:03:14,320
Speaker 23: have to go to an er or a hospital on

1168
01:03:14,360 --> 01:03:17,160
Speaker 23: down the line. You know, the prescription drug coverage is

1169
01:03:17,400 --> 01:03:19,760
Speaker 23: incredibly important. I know that's another issue to the person

1170
01:03:19,880 --> 01:03:21,960
Speaker 23: is working hard on to bring down prices or prescription

1171
01:03:22,040 --> 01:03:26,600
Speaker 23: drugs in home care, you know, transportation to appointments, having

1172
01:03:26,640 --> 01:03:29,880
Speaker 23: one point of contact for the senior or your caregiver

1173
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:33,080
Speaker 23: to you know, if you've got specialty services, and you know,

1174
01:03:33,120 --> 01:03:36,720
Speaker 23: if you need a specialist for to manage multiple chronic conditions,

1175
01:03:36,720 --> 01:03:40,440
Speaker 23: and most people on Medicare Advantage who have chosen the

1176
01:03:40,440 --> 01:03:44,080
Speaker 23: plan do have multiple chronic conditions to manage. You know,

1177
01:03:44,080 --> 01:03:47,600
Speaker 23: so this is a crucial program for for millions and

1178
01:03:47,640 --> 01:03:49,960
Speaker 23: millions of seniors but also their families.

1179
01:03:50,120 --> 01:03:53,800
Speaker 1: What is the motivation behind the rate freeze here? I

1180
01:03:53,840 --> 01:03:57,200
Speaker 1: assume it has something to do with the administration. You know,

1181
01:03:57,240 --> 01:04:00,760
Speaker 1: they're taking very seriously the idea of we out fraud

1182
01:04:00,880 --> 01:04:04,080
Speaker 1: and American health care and trying to control health care costs.

1183
01:04:04,120 --> 01:04:06,080
Speaker 2: Is that is that the motivation behind this?

1184
01:04:06,240 --> 01:04:09,200
Speaker 23: You think, you know, I think that's part of it,

1185
01:04:09,880 --> 01:04:12,400
Speaker 23: you know, but we know we've pulled this extensively and uh,

1186
01:04:12,440 --> 01:04:14,880
Speaker 23: you know are uh we commissioned to poll late last

1187
01:04:14,920 --> 01:04:17,480
Speaker 23: year by a Republican poster who we both know, Kristen

1188
01:04:17,520 --> 01:04:21,600
Speaker 23: Soultis Anderson found that ninety one percent of seniors you know,

1189
01:04:21,720 --> 01:04:24,720
Speaker 23: view Medicare advantage not as not as a health care issue,

1190
01:04:24,760 --> 01:04:27,520
Speaker 23: but as a cost of living issue. And so, if

1191
01:04:27,960 --> 01:04:30,640
Speaker 23: if funding remains where it is right now, if that

1192
01:04:30,760 --> 01:04:33,240
Speaker 23: advanced rate notice doesn't change and go go up to

1193
01:04:33,520 --> 01:04:37,000
Speaker 23: meet the realities of healthcare costs today, seniors again are

1194
01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:38,840
Speaker 23: going to have higher out of pocket costs. They're going

1195
01:04:38,920 --> 01:04:40,800
Speaker 23: to have less access to the doctors and services that

1196
01:04:40,840 --> 01:04:43,080
Speaker 23: they need. You know, billions of dollars in costs will

1197
01:04:43,120 --> 01:04:45,840
Speaker 23: be passed directly on to seniors. And so, you know,

1198
01:04:45,920 --> 01:04:48,320
Speaker 23: we understand that seniors have also voiced their opinion that

1199
01:04:48,560 --> 01:04:51,960
Speaker 23: you know, they care less about you know, they care

1200
01:04:52,040 --> 01:04:57,200
Speaker 23: less about reducing the government budget if it means cutting programs.

1201
01:04:56,800 --> 01:04:57,400
Speaker 8: That they rely on.

1202
01:04:57,520 --> 01:04:58,360
Speaker 14: Think about it this way.

1203
01:04:58,760 --> 01:05:01,680
Speaker 23: This is a program that seniors paid into their entire careers,

1204
01:05:01,800 --> 01:05:04,120
Speaker 23: and when they turn sixty five, they expect the government

1205
01:05:04,520 --> 01:05:09,040
Speaker 23: to meet their promise to provide healthcare right in their retirement.

1206
01:05:09,720 --> 01:05:12,520
Speaker 23: And so that's you know, it's a we understand and

1207
01:05:12,800 --> 01:05:15,720
Speaker 23: certainly appreciate the effort to reduce government spending, but it

1208
01:05:15,760 --> 01:05:18,400
Speaker 23: cannot be done on the backs of seniors and the

1209
01:05:18,440 --> 01:05:19,440
Speaker 23: healthcare that they rely on.

1210
01:05:19,760 --> 01:05:21,520
Speaker 2: So we're talking with Darren Grubb.

1211
01:05:21,600 --> 01:05:25,240
Speaker 1: He is a health care policy expert, spokesperson for Medicare

1212
01:05:25,320 --> 01:05:29,400
Speaker 1: Advantage Majority about this Medicare advantage program. So the issue

1213
01:05:29,440 --> 01:05:33,600
Speaker 1: that we're discussing today, Darren, is this proposed rate freeze.

1214
01:05:33,640 --> 01:05:36,720
Speaker 1: What's the better path? If you could wave a magic

1215
01:05:36,760 --> 01:05:39,360
Speaker 1: wand here and make a recommendation to the administration, what's

1216
01:05:39,400 --> 01:05:40,000
Speaker 1: the better path.

1217
01:05:41,560 --> 01:05:44,320
Speaker 23: Well, the better path, quite frankly, is for the administration

1218
01:05:44,400 --> 01:05:47,960
Speaker 23: and members of Congress, you know, to listen to their constituents. Again,

1219
01:05:48,000 --> 01:05:50,120
Speaker 23: I think that you know, in a in an electioneer

1220
01:05:50,160 --> 01:05:52,240
Speaker 23: where affordability is going to be a key issue, whether

1221
01:05:52,240 --> 01:05:53,520
Speaker 23: we want to talk about it or not. You know,

1222
01:05:53,560 --> 01:05:56,040
Speaker 23: this is something that's going to drive seniors out to

1223
01:05:56,120 --> 01:06:00,000
Speaker 23: the polls in a huge component of an annual budge.

1224
01:06:00,120 --> 01:06:02,880
Speaker 23: It is what what seniors are paying out for healthcare.

1225
01:06:03,280 --> 01:06:05,800
Speaker 23: And so you know, again the math just doesn't work.

1226
01:06:05,800 --> 01:06:09,960
Speaker 23: If you've got healthcare costs rising by seven percent a year,

1227
01:06:10,840 --> 01:06:13,000
Speaker 23: you know, a point zero nine percent increase in the

1228
01:06:13,040 --> 01:06:16,360
Speaker 23: federal government investment, and a critical program of Medicare advantage,

1229
01:06:17,040 --> 01:06:18,600
Speaker 23: you know, the delta is just too large, and so

1230
01:06:19,080 --> 01:06:20,840
Speaker 23: there's no choice but these costs to be passed on

1231
01:06:20,840 --> 01:06:22,720
Speaker 23: to seniors and that's gonna be a huge problem. So

1232
01:06:23,040 --> 01:06:26,680
Speaker 23: you know, we're encouraging seniors to contact their members of Congress,

1233
01:06:26,720 --> 01:06:29,440
Speaker 23: to reach out to the White House and encourage CMS

1234
01:06:29,480 --> 01:06:33,360
Speaker 23: to reconsider this advanced rate notice and when they provide

1235
01:06:33,360 --> 01:06:35,760
Speaker 23: a final rate notice for it to more accurately reflect

1236
01:06:36,360 --> 01:06:38,720
Speaker 23: the reality of the financial environment that we're in.

1237
01:06:38,920 --> 01:06:40,760
Speaker 1: I assume you're getting a lot of support from members

1238
01:06:40,800 --> 01:06:43,360
Speaker 1: of Congress. What kind of timeline are we on here, Darren?

1239
01:06:43,400 --> 01:06:45,560
Speaker 1: When will these final decisions be made.

1240
01:06:46,720 --> 01:06:49,080
Speaker 23: Yeah, so we expect the final rate notes to come

1241
01:06:49,080 --> 01:06:51,760
Speaker 23: out in early April, give or take. And so they

1242
01:06:51,800 --> 01:06:56,200
Speaker 23: are open for CMS accepts, public comment, public input, you know,

1243
01:06:56,440 --> 01:06:57,400
Speaker 23: up until early spring.

1244
01:06:57,600 --> 01:06:59,160
Speaker 14: So you know, we've got about a month window.

1245
01:06:59,200 --> 01:07:03,320
Speaker 23: I would call it for seniors and caregivers and family members,

1246
01:07:03,360 --> 01:07:05,840
Speaker 23: and this is to make their voices heard.

1247
01:07:05,960 --> 01:07:08,200
Speaker 1: That voice you're hearing on the Scott Jennings Show today,

1248
01:07:08,440 --> 01:07:12,880
Speaker 1: Darren Grubb. He is the spokesperson for Medicare Advantage Majority.

1249
01:07:13,280 --> 01:07:17,640
Speaker 1: Medicare Advantage is a healthcare program for seniors that benefits

1250
01:07:17,680 --> 01:07:21,840
Speaker 1: thirty five million people right now. And these issues of

1251
01:07:21,960 --> 01:07:25,560
Speaker 1: rate freezes and things may sound like a little mundane

1252
01:07:25,640 --> 01:07:28,880
Speaker 1: government stuff, but it is vital to the operations of

1253
01:07:28,880 --> 01:07:31,480
Speaker 1: this program, which is quite popular with the people who

1254
01:07:31,560 --> 01:07:31,800
Speaker 1: use it.

1255
01:07:31,880 --> 01:07:34,120
Speaker 2: Darren, thanks for coming on the Scott Sheenning Show. Glad

1256
01:07:34,160 --> 01:07:34,760
Speaker 2: to have you today.

1257
01:07:35,720 --> 01:07:36,880
Speaker 14: Gait to see you man, Thank you again.

1258
01:07:36,920 --> 01:07:37,760
Speaker 2: Good to see you sir.

1259
01:07:37,840 --> 01:07:40,000
Speaker 1: We'll have more breaking news when we come back. It's

1260
01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:42,320
Speaker 1: common sense for the American people. Scott Jennings is here

1261
01:07:42,320 --> 01:07:43,560
Speaker 1: on Salem.

1262
01:07:43,320 --> 01:07:47,160
Speaker 9: The voice of reason, common sense for the American people.

1263
01:07:47,480 --> 01:07:49,400
Speaker 9: This is the Scott Jenning Show.

1264
01:07:50,480 --> 01:07:53,720
Speaker 1: It is Wednesday, March the fourth home stretch Here on

1265
01:07:53,720 --> 01:07:56,920
Speaker 1: the Scott Jennings Show. Last night we had a primary

1266
01:07:57,120 --> 01:08:01,000
Speaker 1: in the state of Texas. Our final guest is Congressman

1267
01:08:01,080 --> 01:08:04,720
Speaker 1: Craig Goldman from Texas. Congressman, welcome back to the Scott

1268
01:08:04,800 --> 01:08:07,120
Speaker 1: Jennings Show, and congratulations. You had the best kind of

1269
01:08:07,120 --> 01:08:09,560
Speaker 1: an election last night, one in which you had no opponent.

1270
01:08:09,640 --> 01:08:10,080
Speaker 2: Is that right?

1271
01:08:11,440 --> 01:08:13,600
Speaker 25: That's right, Scott, I said, my mother voted for me

1272
01:08:13,600 --> 01:08:14,640
Speaker 25: and put me over the top.

1273
01:08:14,840 --> 01:08:16,519
Speaker 8: So there he goes.

1274
01:08:16,960 --> 01:08:19,840
Speaker 25: You know, expect Texas primary, Expect the unexpected.

1275
01:08:19,840 --> 01:08:22,040
Speaker 8: We had a lot of unexpected last night, no question.

1276
01:08:23,000 --> 01:08:25,160
Speaker 2: Well, we've had a lot of breaking news on this today.

1277
01:08:25,240 --> 01:08:29,080
Speaker 1: Of course, the runoff exists now between Senator coryn and

1278
01:08:29,120 --> 01:08:31,880
Speaker 1: Attorney General Paxton. And in just the last few minutes,

1279
01:08:32,200 --> 01:08:35,000
Speaker 1: President Trump has issued a statement saying he intends to

1280
01:08:35,800 --> 01:08:38,280
Speaker 1: endorse someone here. He did not do that in the

1281
01:08:38,320 --> 01:08:42,160
Speaker 1: initial primary phase. In your opinion, should the president weigh

1282
01:08:42,160 --> 01:08:43,960
Speaker 1: in and who should he endorse?

1283
01:08:45,200 --> 01:08:47,320
Speaker 25: Well, not only did he just say, we just came

1284
01:08:47,760 --> 01:08:49,840
Speaker 25: from the floor. We had five votes just now on

1285
01:08:49,880 --> 01:08:51,920
Speaker 25: the House floor. It was the talk of the floor

1286
01:08:52,120 --> 01:08:53,960
Speaker 25: one that he is going to endorse. And then The

1287
01:08:54,080 --> 01:08:57,439
Speaker 25: second part is he expects whoever he does not endorse

1288
01:08:57,479 --> 01:08:59,679
Speaker 25: and drop out of the race to save one hundreds

1289
01:08:59,720 --> 01:09:03,800
Speaker 25: of million dollars potentially in a runoff election. So yeah,

1290
01:09:03,800 --> 01:09:06,880
Speaker 25: it looks like he is definitely going to endorse. I

1291
01:09:07,200 --> 01:09:09,840
Speaker 25: endorse Senator Cornyn from day one. I think he's the

1292
01:09:09,920 --> 01:09:12,519
Speaker 25: right man to continue to be our United States Center.

1293
01:09:12,560 --> 01:09:16,120
Speaker 25: He's been great for Texas. He's extremely respected in the

1294
01:09:16,200 --> 01:09:19,000
Speaker 25: United States Capital, not only on the Senate side, but

1295
01:09:19,120 --> 01:09:21,360
Speaker 25: on the House side as well. So I certainly hope

1296
01:09:21,600 --> 01:09:25,160
Speaker 25: that that person that President Trump endorses a Senator Cornyn.

1297
01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:27,519
Speaker 8: And I absolutely believe he should endorse.

1298
01:09:28,479 --> 01:09:30,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the President's instincts here are correct that

1299
01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:33,200
Speaker 1: if he gets involved, the other person should drop out.

1300
01:09:33,240 --> 01:09:35,920
Speaker 1: It would be massively expensive and frankly for no reason

1301
01:09:36,520 --> 01:09:39,559
Speaker 1: if that doesn't happen. But you know Texas politics and

1302
01:09:39,600 --> 01:09:41,920
Speaker 1: you know these players better than us. Do you think

1303
01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:44,960
Speaker 1: it's likely that if the President did endorse Senator Cornyn

1304
01:09:45,360 --> 01:09:46,960
Speaker 1: that Paxton would stand down?

1305
01:09:47,000 --> 01:09:47,679
Speaker 10: What's your opinion?

1306
01:09:48,920 --> 01:09:54,479
Speaker 25: Well, I never predict what General Paxson is going to

1307
01:09:54,520 --> 01:09:59,320
Speaker 25: do or not do. So you know, he's been a

1308
01:09:59,320 --> 01:10:01,439
Speaker 25: House member, he's been to the state Senate and now

1309
01:10:01,479 --> 01:10:05,559
Speaker 25: our attorney general. So he's had a great career being

1310
01:10:05,600 --> 01:10:09,519
Speaker 25: elected time and time again, and I'm sure he thinks

1311
01:10:09,560 --> 01:10:12,760
Speaker 25: he can still win no matter what. But again, for

1312
01:10:12,800 --> 01:10:16,040
Speaker 25: the good of the party, if the President chooses Senator Cornyn,

1313
01:10:16,120 --> 01:10:18,759
Speaker 25: like I hope he does, I sure hope General Paxson

1314
01:10:18,840 --> 01:10:23,280
Speaker 25: will not decide to end his campaign and look for

1315
01:10:23,320 --> 01:10:24,120
Speaker 25: something else to do.

1316
01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:27,040
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the Democrats for a second. They had

1317
01:10:27,080 --> 01:10:30,320
Speaker 1: a primary last night as well, and James Tallerco got

1318
01:10:30,320 --> 01:10:33,960
Speaker 1: the nomination. Actually, let's hear a little bit from tall Rico. Now,

1319
01:10:34,000 --> 01:10:36,400
Speaker 1: the Democrats, as you know, parade this man around like

1320
01:10:36,479 --> 01:10:38,080
Speaker 1: he's some sort of a moderate option.

1321
01:10:38,560 --> 01:10:42,160
Speaker 10: But let's listen to Cut twenty two. Our southern border

1322
01:10:42,439 --> 01:10:43,799
Speaker 10: should be like our front porch.

1323
01:10:44,280 --> 01:10:46,679
Speaker 2: There should be a giant welcome Matt out front.

1324
01:10:48,160 --> 01:10:51,919
Speaker 1: Congressman Goldman, is that going to fly in a Texas

1325
01:10:52,000 --> 01:10:52,839
Speaker 1: general election?

1326
01:10:54,280 --> 01:10:58,000
Speaker 25: Scott I starred with James Tallerco and in fact, a

1327
01:10:58,040 --> 01:11:00,439
Speaker 25: couple of weeks ago, I was asked by the network

1328
01:11:00,800 --> 01:11:03,360
Speaker 25: that you work for, CNN, who I think is going

1329
01:11:03,439 --> 01:11:05,519
Speaker 25: to win, and I said, I think tall Rico is

1330
01:11:05,520 --> 01:11:08,559
Speaker 25: going to beat Crockett because taller Rico has run a

1331
01:11:08,600 --> 01:11:12,479
Speaker 25: picture perfect campaign in the Democrat primary. I followed it closely,

1332
01:11:13,000 --> 01:11:16,120
Speaker 25: and frankly, Jasmine did not Jasmine ran on her name.

1333
01:11:17,720 --> 01:11:21,120
Speaker 25: Tall Rico is not who you think that he is,

1334
01:11:21,439 --> 01:11:23,040
Speaker 25: and he's got a voting record and.

1335
01:11:23,080 --> 01:11:25,480
Speaker 8: Has numerous, numerous hours.

1336
01:11:25,600 --> 01:11:28,080
Speaker 25: Of speaking, whether it was on the House floor even

1337
01:11:28,120 --> 01:11:32,040
Speaker 25: before he became a House member that you know, remember.

1338
01:11:31,720 --> 01:11:33,519
Speaker 8: Beto O'Rourke, how popular he was.

1339
01:11:34,080 --> 01:11:35,960
Speaker 25: I think the Democrats are going to get behind him

1340
01:11:35,960 --> 01:11:38,960
Speaker 25: for his popular I mean Beto rock. Yeah, because people

1341
01:11:39,040 --> 01:11:42,679
Speaker 25: will get behind Tall Rico for his popularity. But then

1342
01:11:42,920 --> 01:11:47,240
Speaker 25: Republicans will show exactly what he said and the true liberal,

1343
01:11:47,360 --> 01:11:49,519
Speaker 25: progressive Democrat that he actually is.

1344
01:11:50,479 --> 01:11:53,120
Speaker 8: That hopefully he won't stand a chance against Jean Cornan,

1345
01:11:53,200 --> 01:11:54,160
Speaker 8: and he shouldn't.

1346
01:11:53,760 --> 01:11:55,360
Speaker 25: But he'll be raise a lot of money as a

1347
01:11:55,360 --> 01:11:58,360
Speaker 25: former candidate, and that's why we need John Cornan facing

1348
01:11:58,400 --> 01:12:00,000
Speaker 25: in November and not can.

1349
01:12:01,200 --> 01:12:04,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, Democrats love to flush money down the toilet in Texas,

1350
01:12:04,479 --> 01:12:07,320
Speaker 1: that's for sure. Let's keep talking about this immigration issue though,

1351
01:12:07,320 --> 01:12:08,519
Speaker 1: because I think it's going to be one of the

1352
01:12:08,560 --> 01:12:12,439
Speaker 1: biggest issues in the race. Today, Homeland Security Secretary Christy

1353
01:12:12,520 --> 01:12:16,320
Speaker 1: Noam testified in front of the House. She reported that

1354
01:12:16,439 --> 01:12:19,960
Speaker 1: three million illegal aliens have left the country since President

1355
01:12:20,000 --> 01:12:24,560
Speaker 1: Trump came into office. Again, fifteen hundred known or suspected

1356
01:12:24,680 --> 01:12:28,880
Speaker 1: terrorists have been arrested, and that zero illegal aliens have

1357
01:12:29,000 --> 01:12:32,240
Speaker 1: been released into the country since President Trump came back

1358
01:12:32,280 --> 01:12:32,840
Speaker 1: into office.

1359
01:12:32,880 --> 01:12:33,960
Speaker 2: It's a pretty good record.

1360
01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:36,800
Speaker 1: Do you believe the illegal immigration issue is going to

1361
01:12:36,800 --> 01:12:39,400
Speaker 1: be front and center in this Texas Senate race and

1362
01:12:39,439 --> 01:12:41,360
Speaker 1: really in congressional races across the country.

1363
01:12:42,560 --> 01:12:45,120
Speaker 25: Well, I still believe it will be because we have

1364
01:12:45,280 --> 01:12:48,040
Speaker 25: to think back. We have to remind people under Democrat

1365
01:12:48,080 --> 01:12:52,240
Speaker 25: control under Joe Biden hit his administration, the hundreds of

1366
01:12:52,280 --> 01:12:55,960
Speaker 25: thousands of illeg immigrants that cross that border every single day,

1367
01:12:56,080 --> 01:12:58,840
Speaker 25: especially in Texas, we don't know where that came from.

1368
01:12:58,880 --> 01:13:00,000
Speaker 25: We didn't know their background.

1369
01:13:00,600 --> 01:13:00,800
Speaker 7: You know.

1370
01:13:00,840 --> 01:13:02,600
Speaker 8: It was a reported that Venezuela.

1371
01:13:02,120 --> 01:13:04,720
Speaker 25: Was literally emptying their prisons and sending them up north,

1372
01:13:04,760 --> 01:13:07,439
Speaker 25: and they crossed our borders. So it's going to remain

1373
01:13:07,520 --> 01:13:09,880
Speaker 25: an issue because we're seeing that they're not They didn't

1374
01:13:09,880 --> 01:13:11,519
Speaker 25: just cross the border and stay in Texas.

1375
01:13:11,960 --> 01:13:12,680
Speaker 8: They crossed the.

1376
01:13:12,600 --> 01:13:15,479
Speaker 25: Border and fled all over the cross the United States

1377
01:13:15,520 --> 01:13:18,760
Speaker 25: of America, not knowing who they were, where they were from,

1378
01:13:19,120 --> 01:13:22,479
Speaker 25: what their background's from a lot of them with criminal history,

1379
01:13:23,320 --> 01:13:26,160
Speaker 25: so there's no question, and there wasn't one Democrat.

1380
01:13:25,720 --> 01:13:27,520
Speaker 8: That said stopped this. This is ridiculous.

1381
01:13:27,600 --> 01:13:31,000
Speaker 25: I mean, it's common sense, which is kind of two

1382
01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:33,799
Speaker 25: common words you don't use in government. But my gosh,

1383
01:13:33,920 --> 01:13:37,240
Speaker 25: name me another country where they accept illegal immigrants at

1384
01:13:37,240 --> 01:13:39,679
Speaker 25: the level that we did in the four years under

1385
01:13:39,720 --> 01:13:42,960
Speaker 25: the Biden administration. It's not who we are as the

1386
01:13:43,040 --> 01:13:44,120
Speaker 25: United States of America.

1387
01:13:45,040 --> 01:13:47,400
Speaker 1: Congressman, thanks for joining the show today. We're out of time.

1388
01:13:47,439 --> 01:13:49,080
