1
00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 1: The voice of free speech, the truth delivered common sense

2
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 1: for the American people. Welcome to the Scott Jennings Show.

3
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:19,319
Speaker 2: Okay, it's Monday, January the twelfth. I'm back in the

4
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 2: Free state of Florida. Was in Orlando last week. Today

5
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 2: and tomorrow, we're in Palm Beach Gardens. Beautiful over here,

6
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 2: and on Wednesday we're broadcasting a special show from Tallahassee, Florida. Now,

7
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 2: over the weekend, I was in New York with our

8
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 2: friend friend of the show, Congressman Mike Lawler, and we

9
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:43,200
Speaker 2: were there with some interesting and excited Republicans in Orangetown,

10
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 2: New York. Great crowd signed a lot of books. A

11
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 2: revolution of common sense was flying off the shelves. So

12
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 2: I want to thank Congressman Lawler and the Republicans in

13
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 2: Orangetown for all of your hospitality. Coming up at twenty

14
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 2: two minutes past the hour today, Hailey Strack, intrepid reporter

15
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 2: from the National Review, is coming by to discuss her

16
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 2: latest peace on this group called ice Watch. This is

17
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 2: what Renee Good was doing in Minneapolis. She was working

18
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 2: for ice Watch. She was trained by ice Watch to

19
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 2: impede and obstruct federal law enforcement. We'll learn about it

20
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,919
Speaker 2: from Haley Strak thirty three minutes past the hour, Greg

21
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 2: g and Forte, the governor of Montana. We're excited to

22
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 2: have him here to discuss the lawlessness going on in

23
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 2: some of these rebellious blue states like Minnesota. Plus, he's

24
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 2: got a great story to tell about life in Montana.

25
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 2: Right now. Greg g and Forte, the Governor, coming by

26
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 2: at the bottom of the hour, Let's get to the

27
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 2: news of the day. I want to talk to you

28
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 2: today about courage, real courage, and I want to talk

29
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 2: to you about the people of Iran. Right now, in

30
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 2: cities across Iran, ordinary men and women are taking extraordinary risks.

31
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 2: They are protesting in the street, snowing full well what

32
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:08,519
Speaker 2: awaits them from the brutal regime beatings, prison, torture, death.

33
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 2: They're not doing this for social media clout folks. They're

34
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,639
Speaker 2: doing it because they have reached a breaking point. I've

35
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 2: seen footage of grief stricken families in Iran searching through

36
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 2: rows and rows of dead bodies after the Islamic Republics

37
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 2: started massacring anti regime protesters and their ruthless crackdown, dozens

38
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 2: of bodies zipped up in black bags are piled up

39
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 2: outside of the hospital in Tehran as people try to

40
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 2: identify their relatives and loved ones. People are wailing in

41
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:48,799
Speaker 2: grief in the streets of Iran. To understand why this

42
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,959
Speaker 2: is happening, you have to understand a little history. In

43
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,799
Speaker 2: nineteen seventy nine, Iranians were promised a revolution that would

44
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 2: bring justice and dignity. What they got instead was a brutal,

45
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 2: thie democratic regime. And since then, nearly a half a

46
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 2: century has passed and an entire nation has grown up

47
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 2: knowing censorship instead of free speech, and fear instead of freedom.

48
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 2: The Ayatola rules through fear. Political dissent is not allowed.

49
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 2: People are killed for speaking up. Thousands killed, tortured, and

50
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 2: imprisoned over the decades for what for demanding basic human freedom.

51
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 2: The regimes morality police harass the women there with a vengeance.

52
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 2: They monitor their clothing and their behavior. A woman in

53
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 2: Iran today can be arrested, beaten, or even killed for

54
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 2: showing her hair. Women are denied equal rights. Those who

55
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 2: stay in Iran risk surveillance, harassment, imprisonment. This regime maintains

56
00:03:56,200 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 2: power not through consent, but through intimidation, and yet the

57
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 2: Iranian people have never stopped resisting over the years, despite

58
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 2: the threats to themselves. In two thousand and nine, millions

59
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 2: poured into the streets in what became known as the

60
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 2: Green Movement. They wanted honest elections, and the response was brutal.

61
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 2: In twenty nineteen, economic despair sparked another uprising. What did

62
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 2: they do?

63
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 3: Then?

64
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 2: They shut down the internet. They killed people in the dark,

65
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 2: hoping the world would not notice. In twenty twenty two,

66
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 2: Masa Amini, a young woman, was arrested by the so

67
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 2: called morality police for they said, wearing her hijab incorrectly.

68
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 2: She never came home, dying in custody. Her death shattered

69
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 2: whatever illusion remained that this regime could be reformed from

70
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 2: the inside or from within. Her name became a rallying

71
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 2: cry heard around the world. Women Life, Freedom. Women were

72
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 2: cutting their hair in the streets, Students were ripping down

73
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 2: regime posters. Workers walked off the job, and for a moment,

74
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 2: the fear cracked and the truth poured out. Now, in

75
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six, we're here again, another wave of protests,

76
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 2: another moment when the Iranian people are saying enough is enough.

77
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 2: These are teachers and shopkeepers and students, and mothers and

78
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 2: fathers and young people who look at their future and

79
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 2: see nothing but bleakness, repression, and life under the heavy

80
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:32,359
Speaker 2: yoke of a brutal regime. They are protesting a system

81
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 2: that spends billions exporting terror abroad while its own people

82
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 2: struggle to afford food. They fund militias and missiles while

83
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 2: silencing women and shooting teenagers. This brutal regime needs the

84
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 2: support of the United States of America. We must be

85
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 2: clear about where we stand today, and fortunately we have

86
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 2: a president who has shown extreme moral clarity in dealing

87
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 2: with these issues and in dealing with the brutal Iranian regime.

88
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 2: Last night, our president made some comments about what we

89
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 2: might be prepared to do. Here's the President of the

90
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 2: United States, Donald J. Trump, on the threat that Iran

91
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 2: poses to the world and to its own people.

92
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 4: Don't you think so, CNN?

93
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 5: Don't you think so?

94
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,359
Speaker 6: Wouldn't you say that they probably do at this point

95
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 6: after going through it for years with me being hit

96
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 6: salivating al back daddy, the arad nuclear threat, wept out,

97
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 6: don't you think? And then you just had Venezuela. Don't

98
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 6: you think, she says CNN. Do you think they take

99
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 6: your threat seriously? What do you say they do after

100
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 6: all of the things we have done? What a stupid question.

101
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 2: The President is said to be getting briefings and mulling

102
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,919
Speaker 2: over options to help the people stand up to the regime.

103
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 2: He has threatened them. He has said if they fire

104
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 2: on or move against their own people, the United States

105
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 2: will engage. Hopefully he will follow through on those threats

106
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 2: at just the right moment, just as he did when

107
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 2: he took out Iran's nuclear weapons last year. This president

108
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 2: has a knack for good timing when it comes to

109
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 2: dealing with the head of the terror octopus. As we

110
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 2: all wait and watch, we should pray for these protesters

111
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 2: and for the people who were in the streets facing

112
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 2: down the evil regime, who were standing up for human liberty,

113
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 2: who are fighting for the Iranian people to emerge from

114
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 2: this half century of darkness. To anyone listening who wonders

115
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 2: whether words matter, they do. Silence is what tyrants rely on.

116
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 2: Attention is their enemy. Truth is their weakness. To the

117
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 2: people of Iran, if you can hear this, you are

118
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 2: not invisible, you are not forgotten, You are not alone.

119
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 2: The people of the United States are with you. The

120
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 2: President of the United States is with you. The world

121
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 2: is watching, History is listening. Freedom has a long memory,

122
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 2: and one day will remember who stood up and who

123
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 2: stood aside. We see you, we hear you, We stand

124
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 2: with you. This is common Sense for the American people.

125
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 2: You're listening to it. It's the Scott Jennings Show on Salem.

126
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:35,319
Speaker 7: Ready for more common sense? Here, CNN senior political commentator,

131
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 2: We say thank you to Thomas Paine for inspiring the

132
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 2: name of this show, Common Sense for the American People.

133
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 2: Jan ten, seventeen seventy six. It was published in Philadelphia

134
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 2: by Robert Bell. It became an instant sensation that persuaded

135
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 2: American colonists to demand independence from Great Britain. Scott Jennings

136
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 2: here on Salem, I want to show you and listen

137
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:21,240

Speaker 2: cut to libs training to fight ice.

139
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 8: As already started. As we said, people have been doing

140
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 8: the same thing. This was an event at a church

141
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 8: there adia night. People acted out immigration detainments and the

142
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 8: rest of the room practiced filming them and making noise

143
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 8: to call attention to them.

144
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 2: If you're listening to this on live terrestrial radio, literally

145
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 2: they're play acting out ICE agents arresting illegals and people

146
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 2: are practicing and filming it. My next guest is Haley Strack.

00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 9: yourself said just last week that we're seeing like so

159
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 9: many acts of political vigilanteism pop up and what we

160
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 9: see in this video from the church, and certainly what

161
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 9: we see in Renee good status as an ice Watch member,

162
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 9: is that these are coordinated acts of political vitulism. I mean,

163
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 9: people are literally training themselves on how to evade arrest

164
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 9: and calling it an act of solidarity with the immigrants.

165
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 9: They're resistence, an anti a mini antifauta, which is of

166
00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 9: course the status symbol circles. So what our reporting at

167
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 9: National have you found is that there is an Ice

168
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 9: Watch group in Minnesota that literally published pamphlets and guide

169
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 9: books on how blocking ice vehicles is a justifiable act

170
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 9: of resistance. And you know, obviously a court of law

171
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,599
Speaker 9: is going to deem perhaps if Renee Good was intentionally

172
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 9: trying to block ice there, but we're going to see

173
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 9: what happens. And certainly she was a member of a

174
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 9: group that encouraged activists to block and obstruct law enforcement.

175
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 5: Whoa whoa, whoa, whoa whoa.

176
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 2: I was assured on CNN the other night, Hayley that

177
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,839
Speaker 2: this poor lady was just an innocent bystander trying to

178
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,199
Speaker 2: get through the neighborhood. You're telling me that she was

179
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 2: part of a group that was training to do things

180
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 2: like use their vehicles to block the road and to

181
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 2: surround members of ICE while they were discharging their lawful

182
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 2: federal law enforcement duties.

183
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:56,839
Speaker 9: Yeah, so we've been tracking these groups for a while.

184
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 9: We've been tracking the ICE tracker apps, especially when present

185
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 9: and Trump was trying to get them removed from the

186
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 9: app store, And something that kept popping up was like

187
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 9: the symbols and icons of the we're talking about ICE.

188
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 9: One of those is something that you mentioned that you

189
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 9: saw on Beca Good's neck Bechah Good is, of course Renee.

190
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 2: Good's wife, out of the car just before spot.

191
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 9: She was wearing a bright orange plastic necklace, which is

192
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 9: of course what the ICE activists always wear at these

193
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 9: sort of profests to alert residents to the presence of ICE.

194
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 9: So that was honestly the first thing that stood out

195
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 9: to me in the video, because the one thing that

196
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 9: the Alpha News video published last week shows us is

197
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 9: that Renee Good and her wife were certainly not there

198
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 9: by accident. They were not innocent bystanders just caught up

199
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 9: in the street. I can't speak to what Renee were

200
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 9: in her car, but I can say without a doubt

201
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 9: that they were there at the second law enforcement activity.

202
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 2: We've got about thirty seconds. Hayley, can you tell our

203
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 2: listeners how it is that Renee Good came to join

204
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 2: ice Watch. According to your writing, she learned about it. Well,

205
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 2: you tell us how she learned about it.

206
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 10: Yeah, and her kids.

207
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 9: Something will disapolis public, which is a little bit wild

208
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 9: if we remember what remote learnings are over did to kids,

209
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:26,319
Speaker 9: because in particular is so steep progressive thought that they

210
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 9: think it's super justifiable to allow kids to be in

211
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 9: these protests and pre parents to be actives as well.

212
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 2: They learned about it in a school. Folks learned about

213
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 2: it in a school. Fine. Hailey Strack at the National

214
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 2: Review at strak Haley on the X platform. Look up

215
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 2: her vital reporting about how Renee Good in Minneapolis belonged

216
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 2: to ice Watch and how these groups of activists are

217
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 2: training all over the place, all over the country, UH

218
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:57,079
Speaker 2: to interfere with federal law enforcement agents and to block

219
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 2: their vehicles. By the way, interfering with federal law enforcement

220
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 2: is a felony. My next guest at after we take

221
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 2: a break is the Governor of Montana, Greg g and

222

Speaker 7: Straight talking, without the bluster. When you positively need the truth.

225
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 7: This is where you come. The Scott Jenny Show.

226
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 2: It's Monday, January twelfth, Common Sense for the American people.

227
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 2: Scott Jennings here on Salem, joining us special conversation today,

228
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 2: Governor Greg gan Forte of the Great State of Montana

229
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 2: and the newly elected chairman of the Republican Governors Association. Governor,

230
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 2: thanks for joining us here on Salem on the Scott

231
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 2: Sheenning Show.

232
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 11: Well, Scott, it's a pleasure to be with you.

233
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 2: So I want to start with a little bit of

234
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 2: news of the day, Governor. Something that is bugging me

235
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 2: and I am watching this unfold in states across the country.

236
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 2: It seems to me that we have a number of governors, mayors,

237
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 2: and local officials of other stripes who seem to be

238
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 2: confused about what their duties and responsibilities are. I want

239
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 2: to play a piece of video for you. This is

240
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 2: the chief of police in Portland, Oregon. His name is

241
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 2: Bob Day crying. Crying because he had to report to

242
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 2: the people of his town that two members of Trend

243
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 2: de Ragua illegal aliens had been arrested. Let's see the chief.

244
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 3: It saddens it saddens me that we even have to

245
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 3: qualify these remarks because I understand, or at least have

246
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 3: attempted to understand, to your voices, your concerned, your fear,

247
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 3: your anger. This information in no way is meant to

248
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 3: disparage or to condone, or support or agree with any

249
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 3: of the actions that occurred yesterday. But it is important

250
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 3: that we stay committed to the rule of law, that

251
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 3: we stay committed to the facts, that we stay a

252
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 3: trustworthy and legitimate police department for all of Portlanders.

253
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 2: For those of you listening on the radio, while this

254
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 2: crying police chief was talking, he was dabbing his eyes

255
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 2: with a handkerchief. Governor g and Forte, how many police

256
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 2: chiefs or sheriffs in Montana are crying when illegal aliens

257
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 2: are arrested and deported?

258
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 11: Well, Scott, this is one of the biggest differences between

259
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 11: blue states and red states. In red states like Montana,

260
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 11: we support, we back the blue. We arrest criminals, and

261
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 11: we lock them up. I'm so proud of what President

262
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 11: Trump has done to secure the border, but we're still

263
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 11: dealing with the disastrous effects of the Biden open border policy.

264
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 11: We've seen it even here in Montana with trend diag

265
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 11: WEAGUA members arrested in Montana directly as a result of

266
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 11: the failure of the Biden administration. I'm so proud of

267
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 11: the administration and again, we support the rule of law

268
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 11: in Montana. We don't have sheriffs crying on TV about

269
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 11: them having to do their job.

270
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 2: Yeah. When you couple that with people like the mayor

271
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,640
Speaker 2: of Minneapolis, Jacob Fry, Governor walls Over in Minnesota, the

272
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:33,160
Speaker 2: police sheriff in Philadelphia, we see other Democratic officials around

273
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:38,120
Speaker 2: the country saying we shouldn't be under the federal government here,

274
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,719
Speaker 2: we don't have to follow federal laws here. You're a governor,

275
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,680
Speaker 2: you also served at the federal level in Congress. Why

276
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:45,959
Speaker 2: do you think Democrats all of a sudden believe that

277
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 2: because they don't like some law or some policy of

278
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 2: the duly elected administration, that they can exist in a

279
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 2: state of at a minimum rhetorical secession from the Union.

280
00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 11: Well, I don't get it, Scott. I mean, I think

281
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 11: the number one responsibility of government, whether it's state or federal,

282
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 11: is to protect the people. We have criminals, we have

283
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 11: poison flooding across the border, and Americans dying and people

284
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 11: who have come here illegally after committing crimes in their

285
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,120
Speaker 11: home country. They come here and just as we saw

286
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 11: in Portland committing crimes and killing people there, we need

287
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 11: to arrest them. We need to apply due process, and

288
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 11: we need to if they are found guilty, they need

289
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 11: to be taken out of the country.

290
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,640
Speaker 2: You're the newly elected chairman of the Republican Governors Association,

291
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:39,159
Speaker 2: so you speak for all these governors in the country

292
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,640
Speaker 2: and the political organization that we call in Washington, the RGA.

293
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:47,400
Speaker 2: Today Republican Governors issued a statement in support of oral

294
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 2: arguments regarding protecting women's sports. This is transgender arguments going

295
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 2: on at the Supreme Court. Why was it important for

296
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 2: Republican governors to speak with one voice when it comes

297
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 2: to protecting women's sports.

298
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 11: Because it matters in our We've outlawed men playing on

299
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:11,880
Speaker 11: women's sports in Montana. We're watching with interest as West

300
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 11: Virginia and Idaho they're hearing tomorrow in front of the

301
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 11: Supreme Court to defend the laws that they've legitimately passed there.

302
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 11: And I'll just say, you know, as the newly elected

303
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 11: chair of the Republican Governors Association.

304
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 2: I'm proud to serve.

305
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 11: We have thirty six governors races in the United States

306
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 11: here in twenty twenty six alone, and we see the

307
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 11: stark difference between red states and blue states. In that

308
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 11: prior little discussion we had about law enforcement or men

309
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,719
Speaker 11: on women's sports teams. It makes a difference who your

310
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 11: governor is. And in red states, we're finding lower taxes,

311
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 11: less regulation, attainment of the American dream is easier. And

312
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 11: this is that's why I was very proud to lead

313
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:06,119
Speaker 11: an effort with Republican governors to make our voice heard,

314
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,959
Speaker 11: to say, listen, let's let women play on women's teams,

315
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 11: let's let men play on men's team. Just to weigh

316
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 11: in as the Supreme Court, here's these arguments. That's an

317
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 11: important hearing. They won't make a ruling tomorrow, but they're

318
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 11: going to hear oral arguments and we'll get a decision

319
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 11: later this year. I think common sense is going to prevail.

320
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,439
Speaker 11: We wanted to make sure we wait in for women

321
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,199
Speaker 11: and girls so that they have an opportunity to compete fairly.

322
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's one of the biggest common sense issues in America.

323
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 2: I used to call it an eighty twenty issue. I

324
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,640
Speaker 2: now think it's like a ninety five to five issue.

325
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 2: Nobody wants their little girls to have to go into

326
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 2: a locker room with a boy. Nobody wants their little

327
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 2: girls getting spiked on in volleyball games by the males.

328
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 2: I mean, it's patently ridiculous. So thank you for standing

329
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 2: up for women's sports. You mentioned, by the way that

330
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 2: in Red States we have a different quality of life

331
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 2: right now. That extends to the economy. This also extends

332
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 2: to your state of Montana. You've had four years of

333
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 2: historically low, unimp employment under your leadership and under Republican

334
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 2: leadership in Montana. To what policies do you attribute Montana's

335
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 2: economic success over the last four years.

336
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 11: Well, it's Scott is not complicated. It's just hard to

337
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 11: get done. When I got elected in twenty twenty, I

338
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,120
Speaker 11: was the first Republican governor in sixteen years in Montana.

339
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 11: And it was a little like clean up on Aisle three,

340
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 11: four and five. We had to peel, we had to unlock,

341
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 11: we had to get rid of the mass mandates, the

342
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 11: vaccine mandates. We had to open business back up during

343
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 11: the pandemic. Then we went to work and we've lowered taxes.

344
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 11: We've now eliminated or streamlined thirty five percent of all

345
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 11: the regulations in the state, and as a result, we

346
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 11: have more people working than ever before. We've had record

347
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 11: low unemployment below three point four percent for now over

348
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 11: four years consecutively. And the statistic I'm most proud of

349
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 11: is our wage growth in Montana, which is the take

350
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 11: home pay that people get is now we're one of

351
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:08,919
Speaker 11: two states in the country where wage growth has exceeded

352
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:13,160
Speaker 11: inflation over the last five years. Proud of that fact

353
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,439
Speaker 11: because our whole goal I always say, I'm with the

354
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 11: government and I'm here to stay out of your way.

355
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 4: We need to let the.

356
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 11: Entrepreneurs build their businesses, create jobs, so people can buy

357
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 11: homes and pursue the American dream. And this is what

358
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 11: we're seeing in red states. Of the states with the

359
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 11: lowest unemployment, we're in the Montana's in the top ten

360
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 11: in the country for low unemployment. Of the top fifteen

361
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,919
Speaker 11: states with low unemployment, eleven of them are headed up

362
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:49,159
Speaker 11: by Republican governors. It's because our conservative policies allow people

363
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 11: to prosper and make life more affordable. In stark contrast

364
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 11: to what we're seeing in blue states. So I'm encouraged

365
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 11: by that. But as I always say, there's more rocks

366
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:01,199
Speaker 11: in the rock file. We have more work to do.

367
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 2: Speaking of rocks in the rock pile, I want to

368
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 2: talk to you about an economic issue and a national

369
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:08,919
Speaker 2: security issue that has to do with critical minerals. I

370
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 2: understand you're about to make some breaking news announcements today

371
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 2: about what's going on in Montana as it relates to

372
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 2: having critical minerals being mined right here in the United States.

373
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 2: What's happening on this front today, sir.

374
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,719
Speaker 11: Well, a number of things. I mean, Montana is the

375
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,920
Speaker 11: treasure state. We have a long history of natural resource development.

376
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 11: We have forty percent of all the coal in North

377
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 11: America as in Montana. We've been keeping the lights on

378
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 11: in Tokyo, Soul and Taipei for decades as well as Seattle,

379
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,879
Speaker 11: and recently I was able to cut the ribbon on

380
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 11: the only an expansion of the only antimony.

381
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 4: Smelter in North America.

382
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,360
Speaker 11: This is used in many energy sources. But the new

383
00:23:54,400 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 11: news today lattice materials in Boze of Montana. Into December,

384
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:04,439
Speaker 11: they received almost a twenty million dollar contract with the

385
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:08,880
Speaker 11: Department of War for development of critical minerals. Today they're

386
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 11: announcing an eighty thousand square foot expansion in their business.

387
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 4: That's a direct result that will help with these.

388
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 11: Rare earth minerals for the development of advanced semiconductors. So

389
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 11: Montana's doing its part as we work to reshore critical

390
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 11: minerals and cut the supply chains from China.

391
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 2: It sounds like that these things are only possible because

392
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:34,879
Speaker 2: of a different attitude with the new administration in Washington.

393
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,679
Speaker 2: Talk about you've been governor under Biden, You've been governor

394
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 2: under Donald Trump. What's the difference on energy, critical minerals,

395
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 2: and other issues as you seek to bring prosperity to

396
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 2: your people.

397
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:47,640
Speaker 5: Well, it's night and day.

398
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 11: We worked, tried to work with a Biden administration. In fact,

399
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:56,360
Speaker 11: at one point I authored a letter. I had twenty

400
00:24:56,520 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 11: seven governors signed that letter, just asking a meeting with

401
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 11: the Biding administration. In over a two year period. All

402
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 11: we got was crickets. There was no response. I've been

403
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 11: to the White House a number of times since President

404
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 11: Trump has come in. I was there when he signed

405
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 11: his executive orders to expand energy production. We've been working

406
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 11: directly with Secretary Wright, Secretary Burgham, of course, a former

407
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:27,200
Speaker 11: governor from North Dakota. It's like night and day and

408
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:33,200
Speaker 11: finally somebody's home and advancing America's interest. It's such a pleasure,

409
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 11: whether it comes to managing our forests, developing energy resources,

410
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 11: it's night and day.

411
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,120
Speaker 2: If you could give the Congress one piece of advice

412
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 2: about what they could do to further help you as

413
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,959
Speaker 2: a governor as they embark on their legislative journey here

414
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:49,439
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty six, what would it be.

415
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 11: Well, the states are in a position to pursue policies.

416
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 11: One thing we did just last fall we worked with

417
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 11: the Forest Service to expand state management of federal lands.

418
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:10,920
Speaker 11: We just recently signed the largest stewardship agreement where the.

419
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 5: State of Montana.

420
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 11: Just by way of background, we manage about five million

421
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 11: acres of state land for both timber production as well

422
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,640
Speaker 11: as grazing. And guess what's got we make money when

423
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 11: we do it. Last year, we transferred ninety two million

424
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:29,159
Speaker 11: dollars to our school system as a direct result of

425
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:34,879
Speaker 11: making our forests healthier, expanding habitat, conserving those spaces. The

426
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 11: federal government loses money on every single acre. So I

427
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 11: came up with the idea, why don't we manage the

428
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 11: federal lands on their behalf and we'll split the revenue.

429
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:48,640
Speaker 11: So we just recently signed a stewardship agreement where Montana

430
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:52,679
Speaker 11: will be taking over four hundred thousand acres of federal

431
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 11: land here in the state. So my advice to Congress is,

432
00:26:56,240 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 11: let give the states their reins by the.

433
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 4: Tenth Amendment States Rights.

434
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 5: Let us do our job.

435
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 11: We can do it better when we're closer to the

436
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:11,399
Speaker 11: issue and the people having served in Congress, jeanez, nothing

437
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:15,360
Speaker 11: happens there without a crisis. We've got a crisis in spending.

438
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 11: We've got a crisis and affordability of healthcare. Let's focus

439
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 11: on the things that are federally mandated under the jurisdiction

440
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 11: of the Constitution. Let's let the states do their job.

441
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 11: We're much closer to the problem. We can do it better.

442
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:33,439
Speaker 2: That's the governor of Montana, Greg g and Forte special

443
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 2: guest conversation today on the Scott Jennings Show. He is

444

Speaker 2: also the newly elected chairman of the Republican Governors Association.

445
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,160
Speaker 2: We are going to continue this conversation on the other

446
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 2: side of this break. I want to talk to you

447
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 2: about some of the critical governor's races that are going

448
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 2: on around the country. It's common sense for the American people.

449
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 2: Stay with us. Scott Jennings here on sale.

450
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 7: The very definition. I've never backed down here, Scott Jennings.

451
00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 2: Monday, January twelveth Live from Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. It's

452
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:04,159
Speaker 2: common sense for the American people. Han Salem our special

453
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 2: guest conversation today with Governor Greg g and Forte of Montana. Governor,

454
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,400
Speaker 2: thanks for holding over with us. You have been elected

455
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 2: chairman of the Republican Governors Association. As you mentioned in

456
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:18,639
Speaker 2: our previous break. In our previous segment, we have a

457
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 2: number of governor's races, gubernatorial contests going on around the country.

458
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 2: What are some of the states that conservatives around the

459
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:29,919
Speaker 2: country should be looking at as critical battle grounds that

460
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 2: you'll be monitoring as head of the RGA.

461
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 11: Yeah, Scott, it's a great honor to serve as chairman

462
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 11: of the RGA. And there are thirty six governor's races

463
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 11: just in twenty twenty six alone. In terms of states

464
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 11: that we're watching, there are states that should have a

465
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 11: Republican governor that don't. For example, Kansas, Arizona, Wisconsin, Michigan.

466
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 11: Those are the ones that we're looking at for potential

467
00:28:58,080 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 11: pickup opportunities.

468
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 2: We have great Canada.

469
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 11: And then the other role that the RGA has is

470
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 11: making sure we defend our Republican governors that are running

471
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 11: for reelection in states that are kind of purple. So

472
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 11: for example, Joe Lombardo and Nevada, we're watching that closely.

473
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 2: He what a great candidate.

474
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 5: Chief of police in Las Vegas.

475
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 11: He's a if you want a law, if you want

476
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 11: safe communities, elect a sheriff to governor. That's what they

477
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 11: did in Nevada.

478
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 4: He's done a terrific job.

479
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 2: Let me also talk to you about a national issue

480
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 2: that I think has both policy but political import for

481
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 2: the Republicans. It's this make America Healthy Again movement. I

482
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 2: think it was a big part of President Trump's winning coalition.

483
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 2: They're obviously doing things at the federal level. Talk to

484
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 2: me about what's going on in Montana and at the

485
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 2: state level under Republican governors across the country to promote

486
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 2: the principles of the Mahajenda.

487
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 11: Well, we've taken a page right out of President Trump's playbook.

488
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 11: We were recently awarded our our Rural Health Grant two

489
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:04,959
Speaker 11: hundred and thirty three million dollars. That was a direct

490
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 11: benefit of the Big Beautiful Bill last year. And we've

491
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 11: adopted a number of things. I mean, we need a

492
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 11: social safety net for people that hit a rough spot,

493
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 11: but we shouldn't be buying them soda and chips. This

494
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 11: came directly out of MAHA also investing in these rural communities.

495
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 11: You can't live in a community if you don't have

496
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 11: health care there.

497
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 5: So this is one area.

498
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 4: We've focused on.

499
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 11: And just hats off to President Trump and Bobby Kennedy

500
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 11: for the work they've done to flip the food pyramid

501
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 11: on its head and make America healthy again.

502
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 2: That's Governor Greg gen Forte from the great State of

503
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 2: Montana and newly elected chairman of the Republican Governors Association. Governor,

Speaker 2: every state is a blessing, but government, even in its

514
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 2: best state, is but a necessary evil, and in its

515
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 2: worst state and intolerable one. Thomas Pain, Great American, inspired

516

529
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 2: of the top stories. Iran protests continue. President's mulling over

530
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 2: options on how to support the people of Iran against

531
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 2: the brutal regime there. President's also still talking about Greenland,

532
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 2: says We're going to get it one way or the other.

533
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 2: You know where I stand. Let's buy it real estate

534
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 2: deal of the century, he ask me. Trump administration ramping

535
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 2: up ICE presidence in Minnesota, sending hundreds more ICE agents

536
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 2: there in the wake of last week's shooting and the

537
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 2: subsequent reaction from local Democrats demanding that ICE stop enforcing

538
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 2: the laws there. President Trump and Secretary Noam say we're

539
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 2: doubling down, and the FBI now says that a suspect

540
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 2: in the arson fire at a Mississippi synagogue has admitted

541
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 2: to targeting the church because of its Jewish ties. Stephen

542
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 2: Spencer Pittman charge Monday today with maliciously damaging or destroying

543
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:29,120

544
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 2: fire ripped through the Beth Israel congregation shortly after three

545
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 2: o'clock on Saturday morning. No one was injured. This is

546
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 2: the same synagogue that was damaged during the Civil Rights era.

547
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 2: Scott Jennings here on Salem, my guest this hour, one

548
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 2: of the smartest minds. I used to say in American politics,

549
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 2: now I will say in world politics, the mastermind that

550
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 2: put Donald Trump back in the White House in twenty

551
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 2: twenty four. Welcome back to the Scotch Show, Chris los Avita. Chris,

552
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 2: thanks for being with us today.

553
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 12: Wow, that was a bit much, Scott manager, as you know.

554
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 12: And the one who put Donald Trump back in the

555
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 12: Oval office was Donald Trump. But yet proud to be

556
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:20,400
Speaker 12: a member of that team in a leadership capacity, working

557
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 12: with Susan a great operation and yeah, it's fantastic.

558
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:27,760
Speaker 2: Well, you did your part to save America and Western

559
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 2: civilization and we want to make people aware of that

560
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:34,399
Speaker 2: for sure. Let me just start this conversation, Chris by

561
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 2: asking you, it's been a year really almost since Donald

562
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 2: Trump retook the White House. What's been the last year?

563
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 2: Like for you? You obviously did something that very few

564
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 2: people will get a chance to do, run a presidential campaign,

565
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 2: and you won a presidential campaign. In the year since,

566
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 2: what's been going on for Chris Losovita.

567
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 12: You know, it's been well, first off, it's great to

568
00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:01,399
Speaker 12: be on his show, Scott, and I mean you've been

569
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 12: such a great, uh you know, voice for the conservatives

570
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 12: and for Republicans across the country on CNN and here

571
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:13,840
Speaker 12: of course here on the radio. So we certainly do

572
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 12: appreciate everything that you do. And it is quite fun

573
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:20,759
Speaker 12: watching you disassemble people. It's it's it's a good time.

574
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 12: But you know, for the last year, and and you

575
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:26,240
Speaker 12: do that through facts, and you do it through reason,

576
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 12: and you're not being spirited about it, and that makes

577
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 12: it a lot of a lot better. But you know,

578
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 12: the last year, I've been doing a lot of different things. Obviously,

579
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 12: it's it's been I thought it would calm down, you know,

580
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:41,839
Speaker 12: after the twenty twenty four and twenty twenty four year

581
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 12: was kind of a busy, crazy year. But it's only

582
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 12: gotten you know, progressively, more so in the sense of,

583
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 12: you know, I was doing some elections overseas, which was

584
00:35:54,560 --> 00:36:00,160
Speaker 12: fun and and different, and did some traveling. But but

585
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 12: you know, a real focus really is is putting together

586
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 12: an operation that will allow us to maintain the majority

587
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 12: of the House in this issuear's elections and obviously in

588
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 12: keeping the Senate. And you know, all the great changes

589
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:16,919
Speaker 12: and all the great things that the President was able

590
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:21,399
Speaker 12: to accomplish, you know, through the Reconciliation Bill, and he's

591
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 12: been able to do through executive issues and executive orders.

592
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 12: You know, all of that will get turned inside out,

593
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:30,880
Speaker 12: you know, if the Democrats take control of the House.

594
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:33,880
Speaker 12: So obviously a lot of our attention and focus this

595
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:36,239
Speaker 12: year will be aimed at keeping that from happening and

596
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 12: keeping Speaker of Johnson the Speaker of the House.

597
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 2: We spend a lot of time thinking about the Democrats

598
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 2: and what the American left is doing to try to

599
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:49,439
Speaker 2: stop the Trump administration. Unfortunately, there are some Republicans, we're

600
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:53,239
Speaker 2: so called Republicans who are working from inside the tent

601
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 2: to stop the president. I'd like to play some sound

602
00:36:56,040 --> 00:37:00,399
Speaker 2: from Congressman Thomas Massey of Kentucky. Let's hear for Massi,

603
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 2: Kentucky's fourth district, said we would put America first and

604
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 2: there wouldn't be regime changed, there wouldn't be interventions.

605
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 5: But that's what's happening.

606
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 3: And I find it ironic that today at the conference

607
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:13,400
Speaker 3: he said, we can't lose the majority.

608
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 5: If we do, he's going to get impeached.

609
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:19,319
Speaker 2: But he's doing the exact things that would cause him

610
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 2: to lose the majority. Thomas Massey of Kentucky opposing the

611
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 2: president on Venezuela and several other issues. Chris, when you

612
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 2: hear that, what's your reaction and tell us about the

613
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:34,920
Speaker 2: efforts that you may be involved in Kentucky's primary and

614
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:36,240
Speaker 2: the fourth congressional district.

615
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 4: Yeah.

616
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:43,360
Speaker 13: Sure, Well, Thomas Masthew's completely lost his way. This is

617
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 13: an unhinged, completely decatched member of Congress from you know, Kentucky,

618
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:57,240
Speaker 13: who literally has nothing in common with his congressional district anymore.

619
00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 13: I mean, when people elected Thomas Massy, they wanted to

620
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 13: a conservative, they wanted someone who would represent their views.

621
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:09,480
Speaker 13: And you know, the president has done exceedingly well in

622
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:12,320
Speaker 13: Thomas Massey's congressional district over the years.

623
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:12,839
Speaker 4: And.

624
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:19,279
Speaker 12: You know has and has the overwhelming support of the

625
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:22,719
Speaker 12: congressional district, and Massy's been voting against him every single time.

626
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:27,880
Speaker 12: I mean, you know, he Thomas Massey voted against tax

627
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 12: cuts on Social Security. Now, why the hell would you

628
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:34,959
Speaker 12: do that. He voted against the President's signature effort which

629
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:39,440
Speaker 12: would eliminate which did eliminate taxes on tips, which eliminated

630
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 12: taxes on overtime. These are transformative, redefining issues for the

631
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:51,240
Speaker 12: Republican Party that are really aimed at helping the working

632
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 12: class and the middle class. And so to stand in

633
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:58,399
Speaker 12: the way just to be just to stand in the way,

634
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 12: I mean, he he does and do it out of principle.

635
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:04,759
Speaker 12: He just does it to get attention. So because of that,

636
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 12: you know, and the President gives people, you know, he

637
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:12,239
Speaker 12: knows they're not going to agree with him one hundred

638
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 12: percent of the time, but you can't vote against them

639
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 12: and then go after his signature, you know, issues, you know,

640
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 12: go at seventy eighty percent of the time and not accept,

641
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:26,840
Speaker 12: not expect that there's going to be some sort of.

642
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:29,360
Speaker 2: Answer.

643
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:32,880
Speaker 12: And that answer is MAGA Kentucky, which is a super

644
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 12: pack that I put together with Tony Fabrizio, is the

645
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 12: President's chief polster, and basically we're going to beat Thomas

646
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 12: nash Machi in a primary. Actually, the voters in the

647
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:45,960
Speaker 12: fourth district, the Republicans, are going to vote him out.

648
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 12: His numbers right now are upside down. His unfavorable exceeds

649
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:54,840
Speaker 12: his favorable rating by nearly twenty points. You know, Gawren,

650
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 12: who is the Navy seal that the President has endorsed,

651
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 12: a local, highly decorated Navy seal, a very principled solid

652
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 12: conservative who will represent the district? I think extremely Well,

653
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 12: uh is you know, wins by double digits in the

654
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 12: head to head match up with Massey. So Thomas masseew's

655
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 12: gotten him. He picked a fight with the wrong people,

656
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 12: and we're going to follow through on that and and

657
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:23,760
Speaker 12: and you know, communicate to the voters in the fourth

658
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 12: district while he's unfit to continue to be their congress.

659
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 12: I mean, I mean, look, the guy hangs out with

660
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:31,239
Speaker 12: AOC and the squad. I mean, these are his new

661
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 12: buds and coping and the rest of these streets. I mean,

662
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:37,400
Speaker 12: it's just it makes no sense, but you know, it

663
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 12: is what it is.

664
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 2: Chris, a minute to here before we go to our

665
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 2: first commercial break with you. Is it your anticipation, I've

666
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 2: seen the president's statements. Obviously he's very upset with Thomas

667
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 2: Massey and is endorsed directly ed gall Ryan. It's actually

668
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:53,200
Speaker 2: the first time he's ever come out against Massey and

669
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 2: for someone else in one of these primaries over the years.

670
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 2: Is it your anticipation he'll get more involved in the

671
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:03,759
Speaker 2: spring possible visiting Kentucky and getting personally engaged in the race.

672
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 12: Well, I mean he's personally engaged in the race in

673
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:10,360
Speaker 12: the sense of that you know, he has his political

674
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:13,840
Speaker 12: people engaged heavily in at number one, number two obviously,

675
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 12: he's engaged and made comments and made statements and has

676
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:21,360
Speaker 12: you know about Thomas Matthew and what he's doing to

677
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:23,719
Speaker 12: the to the people, and not only in Kentucky but

678
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 12: in his own congressional district. So I can't speak to

679
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:29,879
Speaker 12: his schedule. It's a little far away, right, I mean,

680
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 12: I mean, it's it is and it isn't. But but

681
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 12: we haven't we haven't. We haven't gone through that process yet.

682
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,400
Speaker 12: But I think it's suffice to say he's going to

683
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 12: be very active and there'll be people will be seeing

684
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:42,319
Speaker 12: and hearing a lot from mac of Kentucky in the

685
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 12: coming weeks.

686
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:46,480
Speaker 2: That's Chris Losovita, co campaign manager for Donald Trump in

687
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four. One of the biggest political strategists in

688
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:52,720
Speaker 2: the United States and one of the most successful Republican

689
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 2: strategists in modern political history. More with him in just

690
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:56,440
Speaker 2: a moment.

691
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:59,320
Speaker 7: He's the author of the best selling book A Revolution

692
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 7: Enough Comense.

693
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:03,320
Speaker 5: Heres Scott Jennings.

694
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 2: Monday, January twelfth, Common Sense for the American People. By

695
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:10,960
Speaker 2: the way, January twelfth, nineteen fifty one, the birthday of

696
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:17,319
Speaker 2: Rush Limbaugh. We celebrate Rush every day here and keeping

697
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:20,439
Speaker 2: up the tradition of what he started on conservative talk

698
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 2: radio for all of us who were following in his footsteps.

699
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 2: Happy birthday to Rush. We're talking to our special guest,

700
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:31,720
Speaker 2: Chris Lasavita, co campaign manager for President Trump's twenty twenty

701
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 2: four successful re election effort. Chris here obviously highly involved

702
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 2: in the Republican effort to maintain majorities in the House

703
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 2: and the Senate. Let's start with the United States House.

704
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 2: Right now, because of some retirements and other issues, we

705
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:49,759
Speaker 2: have a functionally a one seat majority in the US

706
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:52,279
Speaker 2: House for Republicans and Democrats think they are going to

707
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:54,759
Speaker 2: take it back in November. What is it going to

708
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:58,400
Speaker 2: take for Republicans to OutKick their historical coverage here and

709
00:42:58,520 --> 00:42:59,760
Speaker 2: maintain control of the House.

710
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:04,440
Speaker 12: Well, it's gonna It's gonna be a couple of things.

711
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:08,360
Speaker 12: I think the most important is once people start seeing

712
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 12: the full impact and the full measure of a lot

713
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:16,280
Speaker 12: of the policies that the President passed last year start

714
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:19,879
Speaker 12: taking impact and taking effect, that will you know from

715
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:23,560
Speaker 12: because it was all retroactive to last year and people

716
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 12: start really feeling it in the first quarter. Here in

717
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:28,640
Speaker 12: the second quarter of twenty six, I think people are

718
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:31,280
Speaker 12: going to see, Wow, They're going to see the cost

719
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:34,439
Speaker 12: of everything, you know, from food, because we've already seen

720
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 12: the cost of fuel, cost of gasoline drop dramatically. So

721
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:44,480
Speaker 12: when people start seeing actual impacts right from from a

722
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:48,360
Speaker 12: lot of these policies, then then you know the voting

723
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 12: will generally follow along those same patterns. Plus, the President

724
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:54,400
Speaker 12: has taken an enormous amount of time and ensuring that

725
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:58,239
Speaker 12: his political operation has the resources necessary to ensure that

726
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:00,439
Speaker 12: we won't be outspent, which is you know, the left

727
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:05,440
Speaker 12: has always outspent Republicans in the past, and you know,

728
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 12: so the President has embarked on an ambitious fundraising effort

729
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 12: that is going to make sure that we're armed with

730
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:13,239
Speaker 12: the right information. But at the end of the day,

731
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:15,239
Speaker 12: it doesn't matter how much money you have if you

732
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:17,359
Speaker 12: don't have the passion and the voters, and you don't

733
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:20,320
Speaker 12: have the ability, you don't have the right tactics, the

734
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:22,480
Speaker 12: right strategy, and most importantly, if you don't have the

735
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 12: right policy. You know, I don't care how good you

736
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:27,920
Speaker 12: are politically, You're not going to win. But you know,

737
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:31,120
Speaker 12: we've got all of the above, so we feel really

738
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:33,080
Speaker 12: really good about where we're going to be in twenty

739
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:33,640
Speaker 12: twenty six.

740
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:37,360
Speaker 2: Do you have confidence in the Republican Party's efforts to

741
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:41,359
Speaker 2: try to recruit Trump voters who have only showed up

742
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:44,400
Speaker 2: for Donald Trump into the larger Republican fold? To me,

743
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:46,840
Speaker 2: is the number one technical issue for the Republican Party

744
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:50,360
Speaker 2: how to get his unique coalition to engage in every election.

745
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:53,160
Speaker 2: I assume you have knowledge of the efforts going on

746
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 2: to do just that. Do you have confidence that this

747
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:58,279
Speaker 2: is working or is it only the president himself who

748
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:00,320
Speaker 2: can get these folks to understand and that if you

749
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:04,840
Speaker 2: don't vote this November, they'll be impeaching Donald Trump come January.

750
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:09,040
Speaker 12: You know, I'm very involved in those efforts, and it's

751
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:11,400
Speaker 12: very similar to what we were doing in the twenty

752
00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:18,080
Speaker 12: twenty four campaign with voters who you know, casual voters

753
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:20,959
Speaker 12: who don't show up. Of course, everyone knows that voter

754
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:25,759
Speaker 12: turnout at a mid term is substantially lower than in

755
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:31,759
Speaker 12: the presidential year, and both sides have that issue. But

756
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 12: we have a pretty good idea of who our voters are,

757
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:37,520
Speaker 12: where they live, what their IP address, is, what their

758
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:40,799
Speaker 12: phone numbers are, what their emails are. And we've been

759
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:45,640
Speaker 12: able to actually in a lot of elections since twenty

760
00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:48,799
Speaker 12: four and some of the specials, most notably in Tennessee,

761
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:52,000
Speaker 12: we were able to test a lot of different tactics

762
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 12: and we were very pleased in some of the things

763
00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 12: that we were able to put together to juice turn out,

764
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 12: make sure that people were voting and they understood what

765
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:06,239
Speaker 12: was at stake. So we actually do we've and you know,

766
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:10,759
Speaker 12: we've never stopped studying the electorate since the election. Just

767
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:13,319
Speaker 12: because you win a big election doesn't mean you know,

768
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:18,160
Speaker 12: you take everything and go home. No, you're constantly self improvement.

769
00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:20,400
Speaker 12: And so we've done a pretty good job. The President

770
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 12: has an amazing White House political operation led by Susie

00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:39,239

775
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:43,960
Speaker 12: like I said, maintained a degree of awareness and maintained

776
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:48,040
Speaker 12: this constant self improvement to find, you know, the right

777
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:50,960
Speaker 12: audiences and make sure that they're there for the president

809
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:37,359
Speaker 2: Scott Chitting Show.

810
00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:40,160
Speaker 4: Oh thanks for having me on, Scott. It's good to

811
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:40,600
Speaker 4: be with you.

812
00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:43,319
Speaker 2: Good to be with you, sir, and it's been fun.

813
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:45,680
Speaker 2: A couple of times we've sat with each other at

814
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:49,440
Speaker 2: the table at CNN fighting off a few crazy narratives

815
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:51,920
Speaker 2: out there, and you're one of the most able debaters

816
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:55,440
Speaker 2: in the Republican Party today, so we're appreciative of those

817
00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:57,960
Speaker 2: efforts and thank you for your time today. I want

818
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:00,279
Speaker 2: to start with your job in Washington before we get

819
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:02,920
Speaker 2: to your campaign for governor. You're on the Oversight Committee,

820
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:05,839
Speaker 2: and just the other day last week, in fact, you

821
00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:09,880
Speaker 2: guys interviewed some folks from Minnesota about the unfolding fraud

822
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:13,760
Speaker 2: investigation that's going on there. You had some state representatives

823
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:16,800
Speaker 2: in from Minnesota to talk about the billions of dollars

824
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:19,880
Speaker 2: that have been stolen from taxpayers and how Tim Walls

825
00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:23,040
Speaker 2: and other Democrats in Minnesota have either been involved in

826
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:24,920
Speaker 2: it or at a minimum look the other way. What

827
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:27,200
Speaker 2: did you learn in that hearing and where can we

828
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:29,240
Speaker 2: expect the investigation to go next.

829
00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 10: Well, first of all, let me just say I think

830
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:36,680
Speaker 10: it's more than they just look the other way. I

831
00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:39,360
Speaker 10: think that Governor Walls and it appears to be the

832
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:43,520
Speaker 10: Attorney General Keith Ellison, they definitely took campaign cash from

833
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:46,799
Speaker 10: these fraudsters in Minnesota. But the most damning thing is

834
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:49,920
Speaker 10: that the Walls administration, the governor himself, the Lieutenant Governor

835
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:54,840
Speaker 10: Peggy Flanagan, and probably other officials, they were retaliating against

836
00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:57,600
Speaker 10: the whistleblowers who were trying to do the right thing

837
00:49:57,760 --> 00:50:00,720
Speaker 10: on behalf of the people of Minnesota and the people

838
00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:03,400
Speaker 10: of America, the federal taxpayer and trying to bring this

839
00:50:03,560 --> 00:50:07,239
Speaker 10: fraud to light and actually have real accountability. And these

840
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:12,200
Speaker 10: public officials their careers were threatened. A handful of them

841
00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:15,160
Speaker 10: said that their families were threatened. People were fired, they

842
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:17,080
Speaker 10: were told they would never get another job again if

843
00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:20,600
Speaker 10: they kept this up. And that was intimidation tactics from

844
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:23,960
Speaker 10: the Walls administration. And I would tell you there was

845
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:25,520
Speaker 10: a statement that was made in the hearing where the

846
00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:29,880
Speaker 10: Lieutenant governor, speaking to a room full of federal employee

847
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:32,960
Speaker 10: public employees excuse me, in the state of Minnesota, was

848
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:35,319
Speaker 10: basically saying that, yeah, if you're looking at this and

849
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:38,319
Speaker 10: you're not actually helping our state, it's racist. It's it's

850
00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:42,080
Speaker 10: not aphobic. And so there is deep corruption here. I

851
00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:45,920
Speaker 10: would add probably conspiracy of the Walls of administration. Not

852
00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:49,520
Speaker 10: just knowing about it, that's just being incompetent, but allowing

853
00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:51,120
Speaker 10: it to continue to flourish.

854
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:52,839
Speaker 4: In my view, that's conspiracy.

855
00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:55,440
Speaker 2: Now, I know the Oversight Committee, on a number of

856
00:50:55,440 --> 00:50:59,400
Speaker 2: investigations over the last year, has made referrals to the

857
00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:03,200
Speaker 2: Trump just this Department. Criminal referrals are you expecting more

858
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:05,799
Speaker 2: information on this to go to DOJ. I know they

859
00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:09,080
Speaker 2: are already investigating. I know the US Attorney's office up

860
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:12,840
Speaker 2: there is involved. But I assume you're providing materials to DOJ.

861
00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:14,880
Speaker 2: And is it your expectation that we are going to

862
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:17,960
Speaker 2: see more federal indictments in the days and weeks ahead.

863
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:19,080
Speaker 13: Uh.

864
00:51:19,160 --> 00:51:21,839
Speaker 10: Yeah, we are providing information to DJ as it comes

865
00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:24,440
Speaker 10: to us, and that is our interpretation. I think for

866
00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:26,880
Speaker 10: the American people, one thing that needs to be understood.

867
00:51:27,080 --> 00:51:31,000
Speaker 10: There's already well over fifty people who've been arrested and dieted.

868
00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:33,120
Speaker 10: I think about a dozen or so have already pled

869
00:51:33,120 --> 00:51:37,040
Speaker 10: guilty to wire fraud. So there is accountability happening. I

870
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:40,480
Speaker 10: think why this story continues to expand is because now

871
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:43,560
Speaker 10: we've come to know that it was the political apparatus

872
00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:47,600
Speaker 10: in Washington from Governor Walls and his administration that did

873
00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:51,480
Speaker 10: nothing to actually bring this fraud to a close. They

874
00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:54,839
Speaker 10: actually allowed it to continue. Part of that was.

875
00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:57,040
Speaker 4: For a political payback because look, in.

876
00:51:57,000 --> 00:52:00,520
Speaker 10: The Somali community in Minnesota, it's a very tight knit community.

877
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:04,320
Speaker 10: What they were relying on were votes out of this community,

878
00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:07,200
Speaker 10: campaign cash out of this community. So it's not even

879
00:52:07,360 --> 00:52:10,280
Speaker 10: just a looking the other way. They were stopping federal

880
00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:14,640
Speaker 10: excuse me, state workers from doing their job of stopping

881
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:17,040
Speaker 10: this fraud DEBTNIS tracks and holding people accountable.

882
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:20,759
Speaker 2: Let me ask you about one of your colleagues from Minnesota,

883
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:24,839
Speaker 2: il han Omar, congresswoman from up that way. She has

884
00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:28,880
Speaker 2: been in the middle of defending the fraud and possibly

885
00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:32,080
Speaker 2: being involved in the fraud. There have been some reported

886
00:52:32,120 --> 00:52:35,319
Speaker 2: links between some of her operations and some of the

887
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:39,480
Speaker 2: fraudulent operations. She's also been on the front lines of

888
00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:43,440
Speaker 2: attacking ICE and I think making things up about what

889
00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:46,600
Speaker 2: happened on the ground there with ICE agents in Minneapolis.

890
00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:48,480
Speaker 2: In fact, I'm going to play you a couple of comments.

891
00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:51,560
Speaker 2: This is il han Omar this weekend. Let's queue up

892
00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:53,560
Speaker 2: cut eight. Let's listen to what she had to say

893
00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:58,879
Speaker 2: about the confrontation between ICE and miss Good in Minneapolis.

894
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:03,400
Speaker 14: And they are saying that he has ten years on

895
00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:07,600
Speaker 14: service and is trained, he should know that you shouldn't

896
00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:10,880
Speaker 14: be trying to get in front of a moving car.

897
00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:15,920
Speaker 2: And it sounds like Byron, she is endorsing people taking

898
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:20,720
Speaker 2: moving vehicles and driving them into active federal law enforcement zones.

899
00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:25,439
Speaker 2: Why have Democrats embraced this political vigilanteism in the way

900
00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:27,200
Speaker 2: that they have it is extremely dangerous.

901
00:53:28,719 --> 00:53:31,640
Speaker 10: They embrace it because their entire mission is to oppose

902
00:53:31,719 --> 00:53:35,040
Speaker 10: everything that Donald Trump is doing and trying to find ways.

903
00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:39,120
Speaker 10: And this goes back to Saul Lensky tactics. Pick a target,

904
00:53:39,239 --> 00:53:42,240
Speaker 10: personalize it, and polarize it, and that's what they're trying

905
00:53:42,280 --> 00:53:42,680
Speaker 10: to do.

906
00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:45,719
Speaker 4: You described it right on CNN the other day.

907
00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:49,600
Speaker 10: It is political vigilanteism because what they're what they want

908
00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:52,399
Speaker 10: to do is obstruct ICE at every turn, put these

909
00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:55,319
Speaker 10: officers in harm what in harm's way, and then when

910
00:53:55,360 --> 00:53:58,640
Speaker 10: something happens, then they want to feign outrage and say, see,

911
00:53:58,680 --> 00:54:01,040
Speaker 10: we told you this is all the of President Trump.

912
00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:04,960
Speaker 10: It's simply not true. Joe Biden put the ICE officials

913
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:08,560
Speaker 10: on mothballs. They were not following federal immigration law. Joe

914
00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:13,280
Speaker 10: Biden himself and his administration ignored federal immigration law. Donald

915
00:54:13,320 --> 00:54:16,840
Speaker 10: Trump won a political mandate in twenty twenty four to

916
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:20,319
Speaker 10: clean it up, to deport criminal, illegal aliens, and that's

917
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:24,080
Speaker 10: what he's doing. And when he reactivated ICE at a

918
00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:27,200
Speaker 10: moment's notice, you had these astro turf groups in the

919
00:54:27,239 --> 00:54:30,800
Speaker 10: streets all across America protesting getting in the way of

920
00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:33,200
Speaker 10: these ICE officials from doing their job. You had the

921
00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:35,959
Speaker 10: one member of Congress from New Jersey at the gate

922
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:39,520
Speaker 10: of the ICE facility pushing ICE officers out of the way.

923
00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:42,120
Speaker 10: You had the two ICE officers down in Dallas who

924
00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:45,160
Speaker 10: were being shot at, and two illegal aliens they were

925
00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:47,919
Speaker 10: transporting were killed in that shooting. There have been other

926
00:54:48,040 --> 00:54:51,520
Speaker 10: incidents actually with this shooter. There's been with the officer

927
00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:56,160
Speaker 10: in question. There's been incidents where that officer was already

928
00:54:56,239 --> 00:54:59,640
Speaker 10: hit with another vehicle. And so these ICE officers are

929
00:54:59,719 --> 00:55:03,439
Speaker 10: under siege by these radical protesters who have their cell

930
00:55:03,480 --> 00:55:06,359
Speaker 10: phone cameras out twenty four hours to day, trying to

931
00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:08,960
Speaker 10: make an incident out of something that occurs, which is

932
00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:12,479
Speaker 10: quite quite frankly the protester's fault and action.

933
00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:14,040
Speaker 4: And then you have elan.

934
00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:17,680
Speaker 10: Omar, Jacob Fry, the mayor, Governor Walls, Gavin knwso so

935
00:55:17,760 --> 00:55:22,200
Speaker 10: many other who are gaslighting the American people while fomenting

936
00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:25,560
Speaker 10: these astro turf protests. So, if you're going to take

937
00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:27,520
Speaker 10: a car and drive it at law enforcement, let me

938
00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:30,319
Speaker 10: be the first to tell you law enforcement is going

939
00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:33,920
Speaker 10: to pull out their weapon because a vehicle four thousand

940
00:55:33,960 --> 00:55:36,120
Speaker 10: pounds is a deadly weapon.

941
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:37,520
Speaker 4: When it is ramping up speed.

942
00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:40,040
Speaker 10: That is a fact, and so in my view, the

943
00:55:40,080 --> 00:55:43,279
Speaker 10: officer did what was necessary because his life was on

944
00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:45,560
Speaker 10: the line when that woman decided that she was going

945
00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:47,760
Speaker 10: to accelerate her vehicle towards the officer.

946
00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:51,440
Speaker 2: Let's stay with Ilhan Omar and talk about the overall

947
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:55,160
Speaker 2: democratic position here, which is that ICE should not be

948
00:55:55,360 --> 00:55:58,279
Speaker 2: enforcing existing federal immigration law. You know, I say this

949
00:55:58,360 --> 00:56:00,960
Speaker 2: all the time, but since Donald try became the president,

950
00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:03,920
Speaker 2: we haven't passed any new laws. These are existing immigration

951
00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:06,279
Speaker 2: laws that have been on the books for a very

952
00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:09,320
Speaker 2: long time, and as you correctly pointed out Congressman Donald's,

953
00:56:09,680 --> 00:56:12,399
Speaker 2: the Biden administration simply would enforce the law. So Trump

954
00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:15,680
Speaker 2: tells the law enforcement officers just enforce the law. Let's

955
00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:18,480
Speaker 2: listen to cut nine here. This is Ilohan Omar who

956
00:56:18,480 --> 00:56:21,840
Speaker 2: says ICE is a waste of taxpayer resources.

957
00:56:23,120 --> 00:56:27,920
Speaker 15: I'm so exhausted in trying to ask what any of

958
00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:34,200
Speaker 15: this information has led to you finding any criminals that

959
00:56:34,239 --> 00:56:38,840
Speaker 15: you have indicted. That explains why you are wasting so

960
00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:44,600
Speaker 15: much of our taxpayer resources and also terrorizing our communities

961
00:56:44,680 --> 00:56:48,239
Speaker 15: in the amount of federal law enforcement agents that you

962
00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:51,920
Speaker 15: have in the seats of our city and our state.

963
00:56:52,600 --> 00:56:55,080
Speaker 15: There needs to be some sort of justification.

964
00:56:56,920 --> 00:56:59,719
Speaker 2: Congressman Donald's your reaction to Ilhan Omar.

965
00:57:00,600 --> 00:57:02,480
Speaker 4: So stupid, so ridiculous.

966
00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:05,799
Speaker 10: First of all, it's funny that the Democrats only care

967
00:57:05,800 --> 00:57:08,919
Speaker 10: about spending money when money's being used to enforce the law.

968
00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:12,040
Speaker 10: This was the same of messte talked about when Donald

969
00:57:12,040 --> 00:57:15,920
Speaker 10: Trump was building the wall during his first administration, or

970
00:57:16,080 --> 00:57:20,440
Speaker 10: everybody remembers the phony crying at the gate of AOC

971
00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:23,480
Speaker 10: when the President was doing the right thing. People trying

972
00:57:23,520 --> 00:57:26,200
Speaker 10: to come across the border illegally and they're holding them

973
00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:27,280
Speaker 10: in detention.

974
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:28,960
Speaker 4: Facilities, which is what you're supposed to do.

975
00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:32,920
Speaker 10: So this is again the idiocy of the left captured

976
00:57:32,960 --> 00:57:36,040
Speaker 10: by Representative Omar. It makes no sense at all. And

977
00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:39,320
Speaker 10: let's be very clear. If you're in the country illegally,

978
00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:42,880
Speaker 10: you've already broken our laws. If Ice doesn't enforce the law,

979
00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:47,280
Speaker 10: then who does some social worker in Minnesota, or better yet,

980
00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:50,760
Speaker 10: some ngo that elan Omar and the Democrats love to fund,

981
00:57:51,040 --> 00:57:54,160
Speaker 10: which by the way, are not securing our nation. A

982
00:57:54,200 --> 00:57:58,520
Speaker 10: lot of these NGOs precipitated the invasion of more than

983
00:57:58,560 --> 00:58:02,760
Speaker 10: ten million illegal immigrants into the United States under the

984
00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:05,880
Speaker 10: presidency of Joe Biden. So this is the problem we're

985
00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:08,600
Speaker 10: having in the country. They want to use language to

986
00:58:08,640 --> 00:58:12,320
Speaker 10: make it seem that they're the ones under some phony siege,

987
00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:17,000
Speaker 10: when in truth, ICE officers are enforcing federal immigration law

988
00:58:17,280 --> 00:58:19,760
Speaker 10: that has been long standing law in the United States

989
00:58:19,760 --> 00:58:22,920
Speaker 10: for decades, and it is they who are ignoring the law,

990
00:58:23,040 --> 00:58:25,680
Speaker 10: abusing the law, and want to take your tax payer

991
00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:29,000
Speaker 10: money to basically fund it into these organizations that are

992
00:58:29,040 --> 00:58:34,400
Speaker 10: fraudulent or are undermining the security of the United States

993
00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:35,600
Speaker 10: and of the American people.

994
00:58:36,360 --> 00:58:39,880
Speaker 2: That voicce you're hearing today. Congressman Byron Donald's of Florida.

995
00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:43,280
Speaker 2: He's in Washington doing his job as congressman and also

996
00:58:43,640 --> 00:58:47,040
Speaker 2: running for governor of Florida. Congressman Donalds, we have about

997
00:58:47,080 --> 00:58:49,480
Speaker 2: thirty seconds before we need to take a break. I

998
00:58:49,520 --> 00:58:51,880
Speaker 2: do want to shift gears and talk a little state politics.

999
00:58:51,880 --> 00:58:54,320
Speaker 2: I'll just lead with this. How is your campaign going?

1000
00:58:54,360 --> 00:58:57,640
Speaker 2: Are you confident that Republicans will retain the governor's mansion

1001
00:58:57,720 --> 00:58:58,760
Speaker 2: in Florida this year?

1002
00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:01,360
Speaker 4: Well, the campaign's going great.

1003
00:59:01,720 --> 00:59:04,760
Speaker 10: I've had the honor of being endorsed by President Donald Trump.

1004
00:59:05,160 --> 00:59:07,960
Speaker 10: He's a good friend. He's been a great supporter of mine.

1005
00:59:08,080 --> 00:59:11,080
Speaker 10: We've been in fifty counties through Florida, crisscrossing the state.

1006
00:59:11,480 --> 00:59:14,120
Speaker 10: The polling numbers are very big. We're up big on

1007
00:59:14,200 --> 00:59:16,680
Speaker 10: any competition in the state. But this is about the

1008
00:59:16,720 --> 00:59:19,680
Speaker 10: people of Florida, the future of our state. Our governor.

1009
00:59:19,760 --> 00:59:22,080
Speaker 10: Governor DeSantis has done a tremendous job. We are the

1010
00:59:22,120 --> 00:59:24,680
Speaker 10: free state of Florida, and as the state's next governor,

1011
00:59:24,680 --> 00:59:27,440
Speaker 10: we're going to remain that way while addressing the cost

1012
00:59:27,480 --> 00:59:30,400
Speaker 10: of housing and insurance and taxes and making sure that

1013
00:59:30,440 --> 00:59:33,080
Speaker 10: Florida remains a number one state in all of America.

1014
00:59:33,320 --> 00:59:35,520
Speaker 10: Really excited for the opportunity at the job, and it's

1015
00:59:35,560 --> 00:59:36,560
Speaker 10: going very very well.

1016
00:59:37,240 --> 00:59:42,560
Speaker 2: As Congressman Byron Donald's of Florida, he represents the nineteenth

1017
00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:45,240
Speaker 2: District in Florida in Washington right now, but he is

1018
00:59:45,360 --> 00:59:48,160
Speaker 2: also running to be the next governor. In fact, Congressman,

1019
00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:51,960
Speaker 2: we're going to be broadcasting the show from Tallahassee on Wednesday,

1020
00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:53,920
Speaker 2: so we'll be doing a little deeper dive into Florida

1021
00:59:53,960 --> 00:59:56,200
Speaker 2: state issues. We are going to take a break and

1022
00:59:56,240 --> 00:59:58,880
Speaker 2: when we come back more on your campaign for governor

1023
00:59:58,960 --> 01:00:02,920
Speaker 2: of Florida. Congressman Byron Donalds of Florida is our special guest.

1024
01:00:03,120 --> 01:00:05,920
Speaker 2: You are listening to Common Sense for the American People.

01:00:15,840 --> 01:00:16,880
Speaker 7: conservatives Again.

01:00:30,560 --> 01:00:33,680
Speaker 2: couple of days and we are talking to the probable

01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:38,280
Speaker 2: next governor of Florida. Right now, Congressman Byron Donalds is

1035
01:00:38,320 --> 01:00:41,760
Speaker 2: our special conversation. Congressman, thanks for being with us. I

1036
01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:43,640
Speaker 2: want to talk a little bit about your life story.

1037
01:00:43,680 --> 01:00:46,720
Speaker 2: You were the product of a single parent household in Brooklyn,

1038
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:49,360
Speaker 2: New York. You made your way down to Florida. You're

1039
01:00:49,400 --> 01:00:52,160
Speaker 2: a Florida State grad and you were kind of a

1040
01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:56,360
Speaker 2: political for your early adult life, and then the Great

1041
01:00:56,400 --> 01:00:59,400
Speaker 2: Recession happened and you got motivated to get involved in politics.

1042
01:00:59,400 --> 01:01:02,200
Speaker 2: Tell us a little about your personal journey in Florida

1043
01:01:02,280 --> 01:01:02,920
Speaker 2: politics here.

1044
01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:04,240
Speaker 4: Sure.

1045
01:01:04,440 --> 01:01:06,320
Speaker 10: Look, I'm originally from Brooklyn, New York. I moved to

1046
01:01:06,360 --> 01:01:10,240
Speaker 10: Florida at seventeen to go to college. I graduated from

1047
01:01:10,240 --> 01:01:14,160
Speaker 10: Florida State, like you said, and in my early adult years,

1048
01:01:14,200 --> 01:01:17,240
Speaker 10: you know, being married, starting to have kids. In my

1049
01:01:17,440 --> 01:01:20,520
Speaker 10: career in banking and insurance, I was a political I

1050
01:01:20,520 --> 01:01:23,080
Speaker 10: didn't watch c SPAN. I didn't watch Fox or CNN

1051
01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:27,760
Speaker 10: or MSNBC. I was more concerned about ESPN. That's what

1052
01:01:27,800 --> 01:01:30,480
Speaker 10: I watched. The love sports, love movies still do to

1053
01:01:30,480 --> 01:01:33,880
Speaker 10: this day. But when the financial collapse was happening, when

1054
01:01:33,920 --> 01:01:36,080
Speaker 10: I was working in insurance, we were concerned about the

1055
01:01:36,120 --> 01:01:39,520
Speaker 10: client leaving our firm, and I was tasked by the

1056
01:01:39,520 --> 01:01:41,720
Speaker 10: company to go do research on the financial collapse. And

1057
01:01:41,760 --> 01:01:44,760
Speaker 10: I finally turned on this channel called c SPAN because

1058
01:01:44,760 --> 01:01:47,560
Speaker 10: they were having a hearing and house financial services, and

1059
01:01:47,600 --> 01:01:49,800
Speaker 10: I watched it for a couple of hours, and I

1060
01:01:49,840 --> 01:01:52,480
Speaker 10: found myself saying the same thing that President Trump said

1061
01:01:52,480 --> 01:01:55,600
Speaker 10: when he came down the escalator at a in twenty fifteen.

1062
01:01:55,640 --> 01:01:58,080
Speaker 10: I was saying to myself, man, these people are stupid

1063
01:01:58,120 --> 01:02:01,040
Speaker 10: and they don't know what they're doing. They really dumbfounded

1064
01:02:01,080 --> 01:02:04,080
Speaker 10: me that the people who were elected to serve the nation,

1065
01:02:04,200 --> 01:02:07,240
Speaker 10: had no real idea of what was happening in America's economy.

1066
01:02:07,560 --> 01:02:09,760
Speaker 10: And so from there I decided that it was my

1067
01:02:10,520 --> 01:02:14,480
Speaker 10: responsibility to start to kind of pay attention to this stuff,

1068
01:02:14,680 --> 01:02:18,480
Speaker 10: pay attention to politics. And it really started a journey.

1069
01:02:18,760 --> 01:02:21,120
Speaker 10: When the Tea Party rallies started in two thousand and

1070
01:02:21,280 --> 01:02:24,040
Speaker 10: nine here in southwest Florida, like they did all around

1071
01:02:24,080 --> 01:02:26,400
Speaker 10: the country, I decided to go to one. I wanted

1072
01:02:26,400 --> 01:02:29,120
Speaker 10: to see what it was about. And I started seeing

1073
01:02:29,120 --> 01:02:33,280
Speaker 10: people talking about the constitution, limited government, not having massive

1074
01:02:33,280 --> 01:02:36,080
Speaker 10: amounts of debt. I mean, we were like fourteen trillion

1075
01:02:36,120 --> 01:02:38,200
Speaker 10: in debt at the time. I wish we were there today,

1076
01:02:39,800 --> 01:02:43,240
Speaker 10: and those issues, no bank bailouts, those are issues and

1077
01:02:43,360 --> 01:02:46,280
Speaker 10: statements that I agreed with. And I started getting involved

1078
01:02:46,320 --> 01:02:50,320
Speaker 10: in the conservative movement in Naples, Florida around starting in

1079
01:02:50,360 --> 01:02:52,520
Speaker 10: two thousand and nine and never looked back.

1080
01:02:53,520 --> 01:02:55,840
Speaker 2: And you got elected to the Florida State House, and

1081
01:02:55,880 --> 01:02:59,840
Speaker 2: one of your signature issues was education reform, parental right,

1082
01:02:59,840 --> 01:03:03,920
Speaker 2: pace to education, school choice. Tell us about those education

1083
01:03:04,080 --> 01:03:07,040
Speaker 2: issues and why you decided to make your mark on

1084
01:03:07,080 --> 01:03:08,360
Speaker 2: that in the Florida Legislature.

1085
01:03:09,440 --> 01:03:11,760
Speaker 10: Well, it actually still goes back to my mom. My

1086
01:03:11,880 --> 01:03:14,600
Speaker 10: mom was a school choice mom before it was a thing.

1087
01:03:15,040 --> 01:03:17,439
Speaker 10: She pulled me out of public school because she felt

1088
01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:19,000
Speaker 10: that they weren't going to be able to challenge me

1089
01:03:19,040 --> 01:03:21,680
Speaker 10: and give me the academic rigor that I needed.

1090
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:24,560
Speaker 4: And so then that then came back again when.

1091
01:03:24,440 --> 01:03:27,880
Speaker 10: Our oldest son, Erica and our's oldest son, was going

1092
01:03:27,920 --> 01:03:31,280
Speaker 10: through math in elementary school and he was frustrated, and

1093
01:03:31,320 --> 01:03:34,240
Speaker 10: I was frustrated watching common core math be done at

1094
01:03:34,280 --> 01:03:37,000
Speaker 10: the kitchen table because it made no sense. And you know,

1095
01:03:37,040 --> 01:03:39,320
Speaker 10: they kind of really instilled the passion in me where

1096
01:03:39,360 --> 01:03:42,000
Speaker 10: what I wanted to see was school choice where parents

1097
01:03:42,040 --> 01:03:43,920
Speaker 10: were at the head of the table. They had the

1098
01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:48,400
Speaker 10: purchasing power to make those education decisions for their kids.

1099
01:03:48,800 --> 01:03:51,520
Speaker 10: And the beauty of being in the Florida Legislature is

1100
01:03:51,520 --> 01:03:54,320
Speaker 10: that we were able to make that happen during my

1101
01:03:54,440 --> 01:03:56,880
Speaker 10: time in the legislature. We started it, and so I'm

1102
01:03:56,920 --> 01:03:59,200
Speaker 10: really excited for what we've done in Florida. We are

1103
01:03:59,240 --> 01:04:03,440
Speaker 10: now a full school choice state here here in Florida.

1104
01:04:03,560 --> 01:04:05,600
Speaker 10: It's been the best thing for our parents, the best

1105
01:04:05,600 --> 01:04:08,400
Speaker 10: thing for our kids, and it's really about having an

1106
01:04:08,440 --> 01:04:12,320
Speaker 10: economy of education. So parents can pick and choose the

1107
01:04:12,360 --> 01:04:15,440
Speaker 10: best environment for their children. That's going to lead to

1108
01:04:15,520 --> 01:04:19,640
Speaker 10: the best academic success possible for their children. And Florida

1109
01:04:19,720 --> 01:04:22,080
Speaker 10: once again is leading the way on a major issue.

1110
01:04:22,560 --> 01:04:25,960
Speaker 2: Got about thirty seconds Byron big issue in the Florida

1111
01:04:26,000 --> 01:04:29,960
Speaker 2: governor's race property taxes. What's your views on what the

1112
01:04:30,000 --> 01:04:31,280
Speaker 2: next governor should do about this?

1113
01:04:32,360 --> 01:04:35,600
Speaker 10: Well, look, I fully support Governor DeSantis' view when eliminating

1114
01:04:35,600 --> 01:04:38,680
Speaker 10: homestair property taxes. My hope is is that he's able

1115
01:04:38,720 --> 01:04:41,560
Speaker 10: to get something accomplished with the legislature and that ends

1116
01:04:41,640 --> 01:04:44,560
Speaker 10: up on our ballot this November. I want to see

1117
01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:46,640
Speaker 10: it on the ballot because we need real relief for

1118
01:04:46,680 --> 01:04:49,640
Speaker 10: Floridians when it comes to taxes. They've increased in our

1119
01:04:49,680 --> 01:04:53,120
Speaker 10: state from about thirty two billion dollars to almost fifty

1120
01:04:53,160 --> 01:04:56,439
Speaker 10: six fifty eight billion dollars in a decade, and that's

1121
01:04:56,520 --> 01:04:59,480
Speaker 10: real money coming out of the hands of seniors. On

1122
01:04:59,560 --> 01:05:02,240
Speaker 10: fix thing come young families trying to get their start

1123
01:05:02,240 --> 01:05:05,240
Speaker 10: in life. We have a responsibility to control government and

1124
01:05:05,280 --> 01:05:07,520
Speaker 10: control that tax burden. So I support the governor and

1125
01:05:07,600 --> 01:05:10,080
Speaker 10: what he's trying to accomplish. If they're not able to

1126
01:05:10,120 --> 01:05:12,439
Speaker 10: get something done, we're going to pick up the ball

1127
01:05:12,520 --> 01:05:15,440
Speaker 10: my first year as governor, and we're going to make

1128
01:05:15,480 --> 01:05:18,240
Speaker 10: sure we're providing real relief to people who are trying

1129
01:05:18,280 --> 01:05:20,760
Speaker 10: to get their start to follow the American dream here

1130
01:05:20,800 --> 01:05:24,320
Speaker 10: in Florida, or seniors in their golden years already living

1131
01:05:24,360 --> 01:05:25,320
Speaker 10: that dream as well.

1132
01:05:26,080 --> 01:05:30,080
Speaker 2: It's Congressman Byron Donald's the Republican front runner for governor

1133
01:05:30,120 --> 01:05:32,920
Speaker 2: this year in Florida. Congressman, thanks for joining us. We're
