Speaker 1: some comments from that, including the latest on his back

Speaker 1: and forth with Iran. The Democratic shutdown of DHS continues.

12
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: Are we back at square one? We have the latest

13
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: in Washington and the International Olympic Committee formally bans men

14

Speaker 1: from competing in women's sports. We've got some audio to

15
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: play for you on that. It is Thursday, March twenty six.

16
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: This is common sense for the American people. I'm Scott

17
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: Jennings Broadcasting for Salem and we are live today at

18
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: Studio sixty seven in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. Now I'm

19
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: down in South Florida today because I had a speaking

20
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: engagement this morning and I want to thank the National

21
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 1: Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts for the invitation to

22
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: speak to them large national conference down here and I

23
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: joined my friend Jonathan Martin from Politico on stage this morning.

24
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: We had a wide ranging discussion on the political issues

25
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: of the day. Great to see j mart and to

26
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: be out on the road among people who are vital

27
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: to making our country work. Now for the news of

28
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: the day. We are forty one days into the shutdown

29
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: of the Department of Homeland Security by Democrats and there

30
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: is no deal in sight in Washington, d C. There

31
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: was a deal to fund the entire department on the

32
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: table yesterday except for ice, the immigration enforcement piece, and

33
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,519
Speaker 1: Democrats pulled out at the last minute, despite previously saying

34
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: that's exactly what they wanted. Republicans put it on the

35
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: floor anyway. It needed sixty votes. Here's what happened in

36
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: Cut twenty one.

37
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 3: On this vote, the EA's are fifty four, the nays

38
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 3: or forty six, three fifths of the Senate duly chosen

39
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 3: and sworn not having voted an affirmative. The motion upon

40
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 3: reconsideration is not agreed to. As a President Center from Ohio, so.

41
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: The Democrats there once again and several times now tanked

42
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: funding for the Department of Homeland Security, including the TSA,

43
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: which is causing massive lines at airports across the country.

44
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,239
Speaker 1: They had fifty four votes there. They needed six more

45
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: Democrats to come to their senses and end this airport

46
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: nightmare that is affecting thousands and thousand Americans now. In

47
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: the last few minutes, and this just end to the

48
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: Scott Jennings Show, Senate Republican leader thun says he believes

49
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: that DHS funding talks may be making a little bit

50
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: of progress this afternoon, and he says he has given

51
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: Democrats our last and final offer, So we'll see how

52
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 1: they react to that today. But Democrats, it appears to me,

53
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: are feeling rather good about their position here, the position

54
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 1: of inflicting misery on American citizens to create leverage and

55
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: to placate a radical base that wants an end to

56
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: all immigration enforcement. Of course, the endless illegal immigration of

57
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: the Biden years had real consequences in America, deadly consequences,

58
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: and that's what this is all about. Democrats are using

59
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: the DHS funding fight to make a point. The point

60
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: is we want open borders and we don't want to

61
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: deport the illegal aliens, the millions who are already here,

62
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: even the violent ones. Listen to Congressman Mike Lawler of

63
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: New York, a Republican, on CNN yesterday. His constituent, eighteen

64
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: year old Sheridan Gorman, was murdered by an illegal alien

65
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: in Chicago last weekend. Here's cut number eleven.

66
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 4: But look, the Department of Homeland Security needs to be funded,

67
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 4: and many of my Democratic colleagues are focused specifically on

68
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 4: immigration enforcement. Well, let me show you the consequences of

69
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 4: lax immigration enforcement. A eighteen year old girl in my district,

70
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 4: Sheridan Gorman, was brutally murdered by an illegal immigrant that

71
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 4: was allowed to enter into the country during Joe Biden's administration.

72
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: Captured at the border, released.

73
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 4: He was arrested for shoplifting in Chicago, Released, and he

74
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 4: went and brutally murdered an eighteen year old innocent girl.

75
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 4: And Hakim Jeffreys yesterday couldn't even be bothered to say

76
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 4: whether or not that type of individual who was arrested

77
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 4: for murder, who is in the country illegally, should.

78
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 1: Be by the way, the callous indifference that Democrats have

79
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: shown to miss Gorman and her family. Well, it's simply shocking.

80
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: It's breathtaking. You can't even mourn the death of a

81
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: violent murder victim in the Democratic Party out of fear

82
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: of offending the radicals who are hell bent on unlimited

83
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: illegal immigration. Now, President Trump made some comments on the

84
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: shutdown this morning at his Cabinet meeting. He's obviously exasperated

85
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: with a Democratic position here, which is to grind to

86
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: a halt all immigration enforcement. Here is the president in

87
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 1: cut fifteen.

88
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 5: They're all angry at the Democrats, are saying, they're actually

89
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 5: angry at Schumer. I didn't think anyone knew his name.

90
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 5: One woman said that Schumer is disgraceful. He's a disgrace

91
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 5: to our country. But they're angry at the Democrats. They

92
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 5: know what's happening, but they're punishing the American people, including

93
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 5: travelers at airports, all in the quest to return to

94
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 5: open borders and give amnesty to illegal alien criminals. They

95
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 5: want to give amnesty to some of the criminals that

96
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 5: came into our country, just about all of.

97
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 6: Them, actually, if you look at it, well, they.

98
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 5: Love sanctuary cities, which is a sanctuary for criminals. They

99
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 5: want to make sure they're taken care of. That's what

100
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 5: we're fighting about. That's really what they're fin they'll talk

101
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 5: about that, but that's what they're fighting about. They want

102
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:22,239
Speaker 5: to protect criminals in many eight and eighty eight murders.

103
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 5: Many of them, I will say, are gone now because

104
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 5: of us. We got them out, but still have some left.

105
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 5: Should it never happened, should have never been allowed to

106
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 5: come into our country. But we're not going to let

107
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,840
Speaker 5: it happen. We're not going to let the Democrats get

108
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 5: away with this stuff, and people are wise to them,

109
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 5: so they need to end the shutdown immediately or we will

110
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 5: have to take some very drastic measures.

111
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: So while we've been focused on the United States Senate

112
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: to see if a deal can be struck over in

113
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: the House, the Speaker, Mike Johnson says they'll hold some votes.

114
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 1: Forced Democrats to defend their radical shutdown position. Here's a

115
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: speaker in cut number twelve.

116
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 5: Let it happen. We're not going to let the Democrats

117
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 5: get away with this stuff, and people are wise to them,

118
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 5: so they need to end the shutdown immediately.

119
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 3: Will have to take simvery.

120
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 1: That was not the Speaker Johnson, that was President Trump.

121
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:18,679
Speaker 1: Let's try to get the speaker here.

122
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 7: In cutt numbers will not allow Democrats to hold our

123
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 7: airports and our country hostage so they can re implement

124
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 7: their catastrophic, deadly open borders policies and threaten the lives

125
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 7: of our children. This is common sense versus crazy. Everybody

126
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 7: can see it, and they're going to put it on

127
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 7: display again tomorrow. As the leader said, we're going to

128
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 7: vote to fun homeland again. And I think that vote

129
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 7: tally that should be blown up. It should be put

130
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 7: at poster size in every airport terminal so they can

131
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 7: see who voted to keep those lines at TSA winding

132
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 7: around the airports and to endanger everybody's life.

133
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: But of course, until Democratic senators decide to cave here,

134
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: the TSA will remain on funded. More and more agents

135
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: will not show up for work, and the lines are

136
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: going to get longer and longer. Other news, the Cabinet

137
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: meeting today brought some updates on the back channel piece

138
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: talks going on with Iran as Operation epic fury rages

139
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: on the President's envoy, Steve Whitkoff says they have sent

140
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: some terms to the Iranians through Pakistan. Here's Witkoff and

141
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: CUT sixteen.

142
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 6: I can report to you today that we have, along

143
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 6: with your foreign policy team, presented a fifteen point action

144
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 6: list that forms the framework for a piece deal. This

145
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 6: has been circulated through the Pakistani.

146
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 8: Government acting as the mediator, and this has resulted in

147
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 8: strong and positive messaging in talks, as you just indicated

148
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 8: to the press.

149
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: We'll see if these talks get more serious in the

150
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: next few days. And the International Olympic Committee has announced

151
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: a new policy that protects women's sports by banning men

152
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 1: from competing in the women's category. Kirsty Coventry is the

153
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 1: president of the IOC. She released a video about this today,

154
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 1: explaining the decision CUT fourteen.

155
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 9: The policy that we have announced is based on science

156
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 9: and it has been led by medical experts with the

157
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 9: bast interests of athletes at its heart. The scientific evidence

158
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 9: is very clear male chromosomes give performance advantages in sports

159
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 9: that rely on strength, power, or endurance. At the Olympic Games,

160
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 9: even the smallest margins can be the difference between victory

161
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 9: and defeat, so it's absolutely clear that it would not

162
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 9: be fair for biological males to compete in the female category.

163
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 9: In addition, in some sports. It would simply not be safe.

164
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: The tide continues to shift against the transgender cult, with

165
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: medical organizations and now sports institutions finally standing up for

166
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: some common sense. No word, by the way, on how

167
00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 1: Democrat James tallerco in Texas is react.

168
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 10: Think.

169
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 1: Of course he thinks there are six genders. He hasn't

170
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: fully explained how they would be allowed to compete with

171
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 1: and against each other in the sports arena. A word

172
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:12,439
Speaker 1: from our friends at Relief Factor. Since discovering Relief Factor

173
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 1: last summer, you know, I've come on the radio here

174
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: and talked all about it, all about the positive experience

175
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,199
Speaker 1: that we've had in the Jennings household, especially my father,

176
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: who really has enjoyed becoming a satisfied customer of Relief Factor.

177
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 1: My advice is that if you are going to ever

178
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: do it, now is the time because Relief Factor has

179
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 1: come up with a new formula. They've added some premium

180
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 1: black pepper extract that helps your body absorb it more efficiently.

181
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: So if you've been waiting for a sign or a

182
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,079
Speaker 1: reason to finally pull the trigger on this, perhaps black

183
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 1: pepper is what you needed. The way to start, by

184
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 1: the way, is the three week quick start plan for

185
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: just nineteen dollars in ninety five cents. You have very

186
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 1: little to lose.

187
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 4: Here.

188
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,199
Speaker 1: You get three weeks of it and find out if

189
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: it works for you. Do it at reliefactor dot com

190
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: or call one eight hundred for relief relief factor dot

191
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:08,079
Speaker 1: com or one eight hundred for relief. We'll have more

192
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 1: politics and breaking news coming up after this. It's common

193
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: sense for the American people. I'm Scott Jennings. You're listening

194
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 1: on Salem.

195
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 11: Stay with us, common sense for the American people. This

196
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 11: is the Scott Jenny Show.

197
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: Hey, it's Scott Jennings. You know I gotta tell you

198
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 1: I think nutrition has gotten way too complicated. Every week

199
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: there's a new powder, a new lab created formula, some

200
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: new breakthrough. But here is the truth. We've been told

201
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 1: since we were kids to eat our fruits and vegetables.

202
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 1: Nobody really had to explain why we just did it.

203
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: Because when you eat whole foods, you're getting fido nutrients,

204
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: those natural compounds that your body uses to adjust, repair

205
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,959
Speaker 1: and respond every single day. That's not hype. That's how

206
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: human beings were designed. That's why I take balance of nature.

207
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 1: They use a tailored vacuum cold process that stabilizes the

208
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,559
Speaker 1: phyto nutrition in fruits and veggies, so you're getting real

209
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: whole food nutrition, not synthetic substitutes. Their whole health system

210
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: includes fruits and veggies plus fiber and spice, forty seven

211
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 1: ingredients in one simple routine, I take it myself. If

Speaker 11: One man standing tall against the leftist mob. Here's Scott Jennings.

217
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: Okay, it's Thursday, March twenty sixth Scott Jennings here broadcasting

218
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,439
Speaker 1: on location, but live from Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. I

219
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: want to talk to you about a political situation in

220
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 1: Louisiana politics a little bit interesting down in the state

221
00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 1: of Louisiana. This spring, there is a United State Senate

222
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: race featuring an incumbent Republican Bill Cassidy, who is running

223
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: against a Trump back challenger named Julia Letlowe, who is

224
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: currently a member of Congress. So because letlow is seeking

225
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 1: higher office, that means her congressional seat is open and

226
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 1: that primary comes up in May. Joining me now to

227
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: discuss this is a candidate for that open congressional seat.

228
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: His name is Blake Migez. He's a state senator and

229
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 1: he joins us live here on the Scott Jennings Show. Blake,

230
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 1: welcome into the show and tell us how all of

231
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: this came about for you making the jump from state

232
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 1: politics now to running for federal office.

233
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 12: Scott, thanks so much for having me on the show.

234
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 13: Yes, you're right, things are very interested in Louisiana. I'm

235
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 13: running for congress and Louisiana's fifth congressional district that recently

236
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 13: opened up when Congressman and Julia Letlow decided to run

237
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 13: the United States Senate. But interestingly enough, I was actually

238
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 13: a candidate for the US Senate just six months ago,

239
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 13: challenging Bill Cassidy, who decided to vote to convict President

240
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 13: Trump on impeachment. President Trump endorsed Julia Letlow. Our mission

241
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 13: remained the same, which was to support President Trump, put

242
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 13: America first and improved the lives of Louisiana. So I

243
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:11,719
Speaker 13: decided to join about a month and a half ago

244
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 13: the Louisiana's fifth Congressional district, which is wide open, and

245
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 13: we were off on the campaign trail, building tremendous momentum

246
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 13: for my US Senate runn into Congress and look forward

247
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 13: to getting into the fight to help President Trump save

248
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 13: our country.

249
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 1: And you are endorsed by Trump here. So Trump's preferred

250
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: ticket for Senate and for this congressional seat would be

251
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 1: let Low for Senate and you for Congress.

252
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 3: Is that right?

253
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 13: Yes, I'm proud and I'm humbly honored and excited to

254
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 13: have the full support and endorsement of President Trump. And

255
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 13: the reason he gave me his endorsement because over the

256
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 13: last decade in the Louisiana Legislature, I have been a

257
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 13: Maga warrior and have never waivered from the America First agenda.

258
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 13: My record is very clear. I'm the most conservative candidate

259
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 13: in the race. President Trump when he endorsed me, called

260
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 13: me a Maga warrior, and he also said I would

261
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 13: never let the key full of the fifth Congressional District

262
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 13: down and they can expect more of the same conservatism

263
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 13: when I get.

264
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 12: Up there to DC to be their voice.

265
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: Okay, Blake, I do want to give you a chance

266
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: to rebut some criticism of your candidacy some people say

267
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: that you don't have the residency in this congressional district

268
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 1: in which you're running, Although running for congress, I guess

269
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily require you to live exactly in the district,

270
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: but they say your home is several miles away from

271
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: the district. As you have endured these attacks, how have

272
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: you been responding to them on the campaign trail?

273
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 12: What's important stuff for you to understand? And the listeners?

274
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: Who I am?

275
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 13: I'm a husband, a father, a business owner, a state legislator,

276
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 13: and a world champion shooter. But most importantly, I am

277
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 13: a seventh generation Louisiana. My family settled here in the

278
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 13: seventeen hundreds. Our family built businesses here, re raise families here.

279
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 13: And me and my wife, Ashley, who's a special needs

280
00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 13: public school teacher, we have four beautiful children. Want to

281
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 13: help save the country. And the reason why I'm running

282
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 13: for office this is really simple.

283
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 12: I want to make.

284
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 13: Sure my grandchildren grow up in a country as good

285
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 13: as the one that our grandparents left us. And the

286
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 13: reason why President Trump chose me over the other candidates

287
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 13: in the race is he knows he can count on me.

288
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 13: The people of Louisiana can count on me. And I'm

289
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 13: going to work hard to put this country back on

290
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 13: the right track because we let the Democrats get back

291
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 13: in control.

292
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 12: Those people are crazy and they will ruin our country.

293
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 1: All right, Blake, your background as a professional shooter is

294
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: really interesting to me, and we had a conversation the

295
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 1: other day off the air about it. Talk to us

296
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 1: about how do you become a professional shooter? What stoked

297
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 1: your interest in shooting, and how did you make the

298
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 1: leap to being someone who does this as a profession

299
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: and does it at an extremely high level.

300
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 13: So I'm a former world and national champion pistol shooter.

301
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 13: It's actually a hobby of mine. In my family, we're

302
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 13: actually business people in the al and gas industry. I

303
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 13: grew up shooting with my father and we traveled the

304
00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 13: world competing for nearly thirty years egold medals and two

305
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 13: silver medals from representing the United States. But this is Louisiana.

306
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 13: We love the outdoors. We love our Second Amendment. I

307
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 13: loved it so much that when I ran for office,

308
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:14,160
Speaker 13: I turned Louisiana into a Second Amendment powerhouse by passing

309
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 13: Constitutional Carrie, giving law bidy in citizens the rights to

310
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 13: defend themselves and their loved ones without needing governments permission.

311
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 13: But Scott, I can tell you if you ever saw

312
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 13: my launch video with the US Senate race, I'm a

313
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,160
Speaker 13: hell of a shot with a pistol and I love competing,

314

318
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: having a primary this time around in May versus the

319
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 1: normal way you used to do it down there, which

320
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: is to have these races in the fall and then

321
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 1: run offs in December. So a lot of changes in Louisiana,

322
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 1: and you're right in the middle of it, Blake Megas.

Speaker 1: Gold and silver recently soared to record highs and then

336
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: pulled back, So our precious metal still a goodbye. Many

337
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: Wall Street experts predict higher prices ahead. Why well, because

338
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:41,479
Speaker 1: we still have trillions a national debt, a declining dollar,

339
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 1: and inflation that keeps shrinking our savings. Even with corrections

340
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:51,200

00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,120

390
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 1: eight seven eight, Jen. We'll have a great time. But

391
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 1: I'm sure a lot of people who appreciate your service

392
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 1: to our country would love to see you there. Jen.

393
00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 1: Let me ask you about what we heard this morning

394
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 1: out of the President. There was a cabinet meeting and

395
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: he made some comments, and he had his envoy Witkoff

396
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: there talking about the fifteen point plan or fifteen point

397
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,680
Speaker 1: framework that we've sent to the Iranians, I guess via

398
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: the Pakistani government. So based on what you're hearing from

399
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 1: the administration, based on what we heard out of the cabinet,

400
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:24,400
Speaker 1: what's your instinct about how much longer this is going

401
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: to go on? How do you think the Iranians are

402
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 1: going to react to this after we have just pummeled

403
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 1: all of their military for the last several weeks.

404
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 10: I think I would say, you know, I ran a

405
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,360
Speaker 10: whole lot of choices left, So I mean, I think

406
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 10: that they see the reality and what strength looks like

407
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 10: on the military front. And I'm certainly thankful for our

408
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 10: men and women, especially the ones from my Virginia Second

409
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 10: District in the Navy, who are out there in a

410
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 10: harm's way. I mean, they, working with our allied partners,

411
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 10: have made a lot of progress and reminding Iran of

412
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 10: our objectives and goals of them not to have ballistic

413
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 10: missile capability and nuclear weapons, and and you know, we

414
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 10: we could even exert more force, and I think we

415
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 10: are showing and I that's a tool that we reserve.

416
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 10: But I certainly hope that they are coming to a

417
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 10: place where they are going to agree to terms. I

418
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:19,199
Speaker 10: think this was originally an operation that was that was

419
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 10: introduced as a three to four week operation, and we're certainly,

420
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 10: you know, approaching that time frame. And so I'd like

421
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 10: to get my USS forward, my Caers strike group you know, home.

422
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 10: But but they're doing important work. And I ran chose

423
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 10: this fight decades ago. You know, this is a regime

424
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 10: that we need to take care of. I think we

425
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:42,120
Speaker 10: are doing the right thing. But but I certainly look

426
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 10: forward to to wrapping this up. And I think I

427
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 10: ran as running out of options. So this is definitely

428
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 10: a you know, agreeing to the President's peace plan would

429
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 10: be the right thing for them to do.

430
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,679
Speaker 1: Representative Kiggins, you flew helicopters in the Navy, so you

431
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: sort of have a unique perspective on the performance of

432
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 1: US military here. And obviously you have a lot of

433
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 1: military and veterans' presence in your congressional district. Talk to

434
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 1: us as a veteran, what do you see at a

435
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 1: US military doing here? Give us an idea of just

436
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 1: how efficient and lethal and excellent this military operation has

437
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 1: been for the United States.

438
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,679
Speaker 10: Yeah, we are the best fighting force in the world.

439
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 10: And I can speak to the Navy especially not only

440
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 10: as a former helicopter pilot. I'm married to an F

441
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 10: eighteen pilot who flew for twenty years. I'm also a

442
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,679
Speaker 10: proud mom of a naval aviator, So we had definitely

443
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:32,919
Speaker 10: a family business for not just me, but for so

444
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 10: many the families that I represent in Hampton Roads, Virginia.

445
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 10: And this is just a demonstration of peace through strength,

446
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 10: you know, that's kind of night and day compared to

447
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 10: the last administration. I served in Congress under Joe Biden's

448
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,399
Speaker 10: administration for two years, and we saw what happened to

449
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,640
Speaker 10: world peace at that time. We saw Russian invade Ukraine,

450
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 10: we saw the Chinese becoming more aggressive, We saw what

451
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 10: happened in Israel and October seventh, and these increasing threats

452
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 10: coming out of Iran and their terrorists proxies. So I

453
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 10: certainly applaud the actions of this administration that we are

454
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 10: taking to provide stability to bring back world peace. We

455
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,159
Speaker 10: do that through strength that there's no other way to

456
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,160
Speaker 10: do it, you know. I can think of no country

457
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 10: better suited or better equipped to lead in that space

458
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,159
Speaker 10: than ours. And we do that because of the brave

459
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 10: men and women and are all volunteer for us to

460
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 10: sign up, you know, to be the tip of the spear,

461
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 10: to be away from their families for months at a time.

462
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,399
Speaker 10: But I'm grateful for their service. It's one of the

463
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,959
Speaker 10: privileges I have here in Congress is just supporting not

464
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 10: only our active duty military, but also their families. We

465
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 10: have so many that we try very very hard to

466
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,959
Speaker 10: take care of in Virginia, but there's more work to do,

467
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 10: and that's one of the things that I enjoy most

468
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,160
Speaker 10: about my job, making sure they have the resources, the technology,

469
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 10: all the weapons systems, everything our war fighters need, but

470
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 10: also taking care of their loved ones.

471
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 1: Jim Higgins, congresswoman from Virginia, is our guest here on

472
00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:01,199
Speaker 1: the Scott Jenning Show. Recently representative in Virginia. There was

473
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:05,919
Speaker 1: a tragedy there at Old Dominion University. We saw someone

474
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: It was a I mean to me, it's a crazy story.

475
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,920
Speaker 1: If someone who was a naturalized citizen gets in the

476
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 1: National Guard, gets convicted of trying to help Isis, then

477
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 1: somehow gets out of jail early and goes over to

478
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 1: ODU and kills an ROTC instructor and eventually is killed

479
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 1: himself by the students in the classroom. How worried are

480
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: you right now about the threat of radical Islamic terrorism

481
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,880
Speaker 1: inside the United States of America.

482
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 10: Yeah, well, it's always a concern because again, under the

483
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 10: last administration, we saw fourteen million plus people just walk

484
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 10: right over our southern border. I had been to Texas

485
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,639
Speaker 10: and Arizona myself and seeing them with my own eyes,

486
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 10: just putting ladders up against parts of the wall, climbing

487
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,919
Speaker 10: right over. No one stopped them. We know that a

488
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 10: lot of those people wanted to do harm to our country.

489
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 10: They are here. I think we are seeing that manifested

490
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 10: with just the crimes that illegal immigrants who are in

491
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 10: this country have comitted, and that shooting that we had

492
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 10: two weeks ago at Older Minion University in Virginia is

493
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 10: just as a as a prime example. I mean, this

494
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 10: was a you know, a naturalized person who had terrorist ties,

495
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 10: who he was a convicted felon. He bought a stolen gun,

496
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 10: a complete disregard for any any gun laws, and he

497
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 10: walked right onto a college campus and he targeted our military,

498
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 10: our army ROTC students and unfortunately shot and killed their instructor.

499
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 10: But we can't have this. I have a lot of

500
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 10: people in uniform walking around Hampton Roads, Virginia and their families,

501
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:37,880
Speaker 10: and especially at a time like this when so many

502
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 10: are deployed, I don't need them to be worried about

503
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 10: the safety of their families.

504
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 5: I have.

505
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 10: I have children who were college aged students who you

506
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,160
Speaker 10: know a participate in ROTC programs. I worry about about

507
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 10: their safety as well. But we've seen some of the

508
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:55,119
Speaker 10: laws coming out of Richmond in Virginia that just undermined

509
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 10: community safety. There's an actual Virginia law that says that

510
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 10: colleges and universities cannot add on their applications the people

511
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 10: have a past felony history. So if we could have

512
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:09,639
Speaker 10: asked that question, we could have prevented this tragedy. So

513
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 10: there's some changes that need to be made. I also

514
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:15,360
Speaker 10: have a governor of Virginia who is telling law enforcement

515
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 10: that they cannot work with ICE on their mission of

516
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 10: ridding our streets of criminal illegal immigrants. So it's very

517
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 10: frustrating to see some of the policies coming out of

518
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 10: the Democrat legislation in Richmond, especially that are making our

519
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 10: communities in our streets less safe.

520
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 1: Well, and a lot of people are frustrated with a

521
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:37,119
Speaker 1: Democratic position on immigration. In Washington today, the Department of

522
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 1: Homeland Security remains closed. I think it's day forty one,

523
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 1: and you know, the Democrats, I think, have made their

524
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 1: position very clear. They don't want to deport any illegal aliens,

525
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 1: even the ones who are violent, which we've seen a

526
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 1: number of instances of that. They want to go back

527
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 1: to the open border policies of Joe Biden, and they're

528
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 1: willing to create pain and misery for TSA agents and

529
00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 1: the American people in order to do that, or at

530
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 1: least make a point about that. Obviously, we've been watching

531
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 1: the Senate to see what's going to happen over there.

532
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 1: I heard the speakers say, you all are going to

533
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 1: have some votes in the House to reaffirm the Republican

534
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 1: position and get the Democrats back on the record. Give

535
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 1: us your assessment. Do you think we're going to see

536
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 1: a DHS deal sometime over the weekend. We've got a

537
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 1: lot of American travelers out there who are dreading going

538
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: to the airport right now.

539
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 10: Yeah, and I'm with them as well. And we voted

540
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 10: just yesterday yet again on DHS funding. And you know,

541
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 10: our car goes out to these tsagents. I certainly thank

542
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 10: them for continuing to work when they are not getting

543
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 10: a paycheck, especially after that stunt the Democrats pulled last

544
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 10: ball with also withholding pay from so many of our

545
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 10: federal workers. But we have to do better than that.

546
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 10: It's frustrating to me that, you know, I'd like to

547
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 10: find another funding source for them. I think we should,

548
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 10: just like we find ways to pay our military. You know,

549
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 10: these people are not only working to keep our homeland safe,

550
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 10: but our sky is safe as a pilot. You know,

551
00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 10: this is important. Aviation safety is important. These are the

552
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 10: people on the front line. So it is a source

553
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 10: of frustration. But this is the Democrats just simply voting

554
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 10: no over partisan politics, and it's wrong. They're doing this

555
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:11,239
Speaker 10: over people's paychecks. These people have families to take care of.

556
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 10: And I am again I'm proud of the people that

557
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 10: continue to show up to work. But what the Democrats

558
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 10: are doing to hurt them just over political ideology has

559
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 10: to stop.

560
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 1: Let's talk about politics in Virginia. The Democrats who won

561
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 1: the November election, including the governor, are pushing a redistricting

562
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 1: referendum that's coming up in just a few weeks in Virginia,

563
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 1: and they would redraw the state's congressional map and may

564
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 1: get ten Democrats to one Republican, at least on paper.

565
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 1: You're in one of the districts represented by a Republican

566
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 1: that would be eliminated. What's your message to the people

567
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 1: of Virginia about why they need to vote no against

568
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 1: this blatant jerrymandering being pushed by Abigail Spamberger.

569
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 10: Yeah, it is insane. I mean, vote no is certainly

570
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 10: the message. And the election the special election is April

571
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 10: twenty first, but early voting is open and has started.

572
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 10: And what this says to the come Wealth of Virginia

573
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 10: is unconstitutional. It's illegal, it's really Unamerican. I mean to

574
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 10: think that they've taken what is truly a purple state Virginia,

575
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 10: and we have currently five Republicans and six Democrats, and

576
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 10: they wanted jerrymander it, and then I said, Jerry Manner,

577
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 10: that means you changed all the zigzag, all the congressional

578
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 10: lines all over the place to make it so that

579
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 10: Virginia would be represented by ten Democrats and one Republican.

580
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 10: That's ninety two percent of Virginia that would be represented

581
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 10: by one political party in a state that forty seven

582
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 10: percent of us voted for Donald Trump and fifty two

583
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 10: percent voted for Harris last election. But it's the most

584
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 10: egregious power overreach I have ever seen in my life.

585
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 10: And oh, by the way, it goes against the independent

586
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 10: redistricting commission that we voted on five years ago. Sixty

587
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 10: seven percent of Virginia's voted to have an independent commission

588
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 10: draw a pretty fair line, so we're overriding that. It's

589
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 10: just an overreach of power. It's something we've seen coming

590
00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 10: out of this the Spamberger administration and rich Man. I mean,

591
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 10: she's been Lynes in Virginia since day one. It's the

592
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 10: greedous what they're trying to accomplish. But I just need

593
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 10: people to come out now and say bring friends with them.

594
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 1: Okay, Jen Kiggins, congresswoman from Virginia, thanks for your time

595
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 1: and thank you for your service. Thank your husband for

596
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 1: his service, and your son. We are proud of what

597
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 1: you've done for our country. We're going to take a break.

598
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 1: When we come back, talk a little bit more about

599
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 1: this terrible shooting in Chicago. Stay with us here on Salem.

600
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 11: He's the author of the best selling book, A Revolution

601
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 11: of Common Sense. Peers, Scott Jennings.

602
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 1: Thanks for listening to common sense for the American people.

603
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 1: Scotch is here with you on Salem.

604
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 13: You know.

605
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 1: It was in March of seventeen seventy five at Saint

606
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 1: John's Church in Richmond where Patrick Henry rose to speak

607
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 1: the words that spurred the American Revolution, and they echo

608
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 1: through our history today. He said, give me liberty or

609
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 1: give me death. As we celebrate America's two hundred and

610
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 1: fiftieth anniversary, it has never been more important to reflect

611
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:32,480
Speaker 1: on our nation's values. My friends at Americans for Prosperity

612
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 1: have created a way for us to celebrate this historic

613
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 1: year through their One Small Step initiative. It's a campaign

614
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 1: built on a simple idea that liberty requires courage, conviction,

615
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 1: and an active citizenry. And for almost two hundred and

616
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 1: fifty years, Americans have preserved liberty through small, deliberate steps.

617
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 1: And now it's on us, in the face of tremendous

618
00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 1: opposition to these ideals, to ensure these freedom are passed

619

Speaker 1: I hope you'll check it out. A two fifty toolkit

628
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 1: dot com slash scott. Gonna close up the hour with

629
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 1: a story for you about the state of American journalism

630
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,239
Speaker 1: and the kinds of people that we are training to

631
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 1: be part of the media industry. This story has to

632
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 1: do with the cold blooded murder of a young college

633
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 1: student in Chicago. You've heard us talk about it. Eighteen

634
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 1: year old Sheridan Gorman. Democrats and mainstream media refuse to

635
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 1: acknowledge Sheridan, but I want to talk about it because

636
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:00,799
Speaker 1: it needs to be just gus from a lot of

637
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 1: different angles. Now, she was a college freshman, she was

638
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 1: a daughter, she was a young woman with her whole

639
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 1: life ahead of her. But she was taken from us

640
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 1: in an instant. And the man accused of pulling the trigger,

641
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:14,280
Speaker 1: Jose Medina, he was in the country illegally. He should

642
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:17,320
Speaker 1: not have been here at all. He was an illegal alien,

643
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 1: a criminal illegal alien. That is the proper term. But

644
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:26,479
Speaker 1: if you thought the outrage from institutions of journalism would

645
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 1: be focused on the murder, think again. Because the student

646
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 1: newspaper at the University of Loola Chicago, it's called the

647
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 1: Loyola Phoenix, well they focused on something else. Initially, they

648
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 1: told the students the truth. They called Madina an illegal immigrant,

649
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 1: just the way I did a moment ago. They used

650
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 1: the term illegal. They did it, I assume because they

651
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 1: thought it was proper and they're right about that. But

652
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:54,840
Speaker 1: then the pressure came and then they had to apologize

653
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 1: for what, not forgetting the facts wrong, not for failing

654
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:02,840
Speaker 1: to report the story. Very accurately. Now they were forced

655
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 1: to apologize for using the correct term illegal. Now, a

656
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 1: young woman here has been murdered, and it turns out

657
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 1: the priority of this student newspaper is worrying about offending

658
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:20,319
Speaker 1: the illegal alien who shot her to death. Let's be

659
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 1: honest about why that is. Because the left in this country,

660
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 1: which includes many of the people who work in these

661
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:30,279
Speaker 1: media organizations, especially student papers, well they've become obsessed with

662
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 1: open borders and creating new terms and euphemisms to describe

663
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:37,400
Speaker 1: things like illegal aliens. They call them undocumented neighbors, friends,

664
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 1: members of our community. Let's go over what happened here,

665
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:44,279
Speaker 1: The Loyola Phoenix wrote in an editor's note. On March

666
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 1: twenty third, a post on the Instagram page carried the

667
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 1: following headline immigrant man charged in murder of Sheridan Gorman

668
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:55,760
Speaker 1: DHS involved. That headline did not reflect the most important

669
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:58,800
Speaker 1: elements of the story, and it was taken down minutes

670
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 1: later to prevent further harm to affected community members. The

671
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:07,360
Speaker 1: editor's note continued, Additionally, in the body of the post,

672
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:09,760
Speaker 1: we described the man who was charged as an illegal

673
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 1: immigrant using language provided to us by the Department of

674
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:17,840
Speaker 1: Homeland Security, but that language, the paper says, does not

675
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 1: align with associated press style, nor does it align with

676
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 1: the values of this newspaper values values, you say, the

677
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 1: values of this newspaper are to what worry about offending

678
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:37,360
Speaker 1: a violent, illegal alien murderer? And mind you, the victim

679
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 1: here is one of the college's own students. That's who

680
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 1: was murdered. But the paper continued in their retraction quote,

681
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 1: no humans existence is illegal, and we quickly changed our

682
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 1: wording to reflect that we acknowledge the harm such language

683
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:58,920
Speaker 1: can cause. They're more worried on the left folks about

684
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 1: language causing harm than they are about illegal aliens with

685
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:08,240
Speaker 1: guns causing harm To eighteen year old students like Shared

686
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 1: and Gorman, words are violence, folks, but not illegal aliens

687
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:16,400
Speaker 1: with guns. Pretty crazy. More to come after this Scott

688
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:18,239
Speaker 1: Jenning's on Salem Stortions to this.

Speaker 1: It is Thursday, March twenty sixth hour number two of

696
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:05,279
Speaker 1: the Scott Jennings Show on the road again, but in

697
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:09,280
Speaker 1: a familiar location. I've been in Florida a lot this winter,

698
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 1: and I'm very thankful to all the people who have

699
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 1: invited me here cold winter back up in Kentucky and

700
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:17,319
Speaker 1: New York and Washington, d C. But I got some

701
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 1: reprieves by these trips to Florida. I was down in

702
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:22,800
Speaker 1: Miami this morning. Now I'm up in Palm Beach Gardens,

703
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:25,919
Speaker 1: my spot where I like to do the radio show

704
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 1: when I'm here in South Florida. Thanks to my friend

705
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:31,759
Speaker 1: Curtis Bush here at Studio sixty seven for hosting the show.

706
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 1: Today also a special day. It is opening day for

707
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:38,920
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball, one of my favorite sports days of

708
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 1: the year. I don't count last night I watched I

709
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 1: was on the plane last night coming down here, and

710
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:49,480
Speaker 1: I watched the abomination that was the Netflix opening night

711
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:53,480
Speaker 1: broadcast of the Giants and the Yankees. A lot of mistakes,

712
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 1: not a great viewing experience for your baseball fans out there.

713
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:01,400
Speaker 1: I count today as opening Day and games are underway,

714
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:04,400
Speaker 1: and we're paying attention to that here. Oh but you know,

715
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:08,480
Speaker 1: at the beginning of baseball season, every single one of

716
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:11,719
Speaker 1: us today has a chance to win. Every single one

717
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:14,320
Speaker 1: of us today has hope. That's what you're having in

718
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 1: That's what baseball is selling you. Hope. Today we all

719
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 1: have hope. Tomorrow we'll all have hope. Next week we'll see,

720
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 1: But today, today, we all have hope. Let's do a

721
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 1: quick check at the headline, shall we. Comedian Jimmy Kimmel

722
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:32,880
Speaker 1: is under heavy criticism for comments that he made about

723
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 1: America's working class on his ABCTV late night show Earlier

724
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:41,920
Speaker 1: this week. He took to the airwaves to a sale

725
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:46,400
Speaker 1: President Trump's new Homeland Security Secretary, Mark Wayne Mullen, for

726
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:49,759
Speaker 1: having a working class background. Let's take a listen to

727
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 1: this and cut number twenty two.

728
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:54,879
Speaker 15: Who's Juliani mt be with us mats Wana?

729
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 1: Where Buck doory?

730
00:40:57,200 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 15: Trump's got a whole new generation of thinkers life, including

731
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:05,840
Speaker 15: his newly confirmed Secretary of Homeland Security, Mark Wayne Chuck,

732
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:10,279
Speaker 15: Mike Bruce, Dave Mullen. Maybe Melon's better. He is the

733
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 15: now former Senator of Oklahoma. Before he was elected to

734
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:17,560
Speaker 15: the Senate, Mark Wayne Mullen was a low level MMA

735
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 15: fighter and a plumber. That's right, we have a plumber

736
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 15: protecting us from terrorism. Now I worked for Super Mario.

737
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:28,280
Speaker 15: Why not Mark Wayneer is quite honestly.

738
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 5: I mean.

739
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 1: Ask yourself this question. If you had to be governed

740
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 1: by one hundred plumbers or one hundred sneering elitist, broken brain,

741
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:46,720
Speaker 1: know nothing hack liberal comedians in Hollywood, what would you choose?

742
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:50,440
Speaker 1: I know what I would choose. I'd take the plumbers

743
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:55,440
Speaker 1: the working class every single time. This just end of

744
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 1: the Scott Jennings Show. An ICE agent has saved the

745
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 1: life of a one year old child at JFK Airport.

746
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:08,360
Speaker 1: This is breaking as we speak. JFK Airport, New York City.

747
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:12,400
Speaker 1: Travelers were waiting in long lines and an infant and

748
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 1: if you're watching on SNC dot TV you can see

749
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:17,359
Speaker 1: the video. If you're listening on radio, i'll describe it.

750
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:21,000
Speaker 1: You have these airport lines and an infant became unresponsive

751
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:25,880
Speaker 1: and stopped breathing. The panic and the child's family and

752
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:29,920
Speaker 1: nearby passengers start freaking out of course, and an ICE

753
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 1: agent heard this. They were stationed at the checkpoint, and

754
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 1: the heroic ICE officer immediately springs into action. He runs

755
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 1: towards the cries, he grabs the child and he ended

756
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 1: up performing a Heimlich maneuver that restored the infants breathing

757
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 1: after nearly two minutes. If you saw it on the

758
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 1: screen here, it's really something else, very dramatic situation, But

759
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:54,799
Speaker 1: you have an ICE agent rushing in to help this

760
00:42:54,840 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 1: little child and reviving him. This officer's extraordinary bravery, of course,

761
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:05,480
Speaker 1: embodies the selfless service of DHS law enforcement. You know,

762
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:08,799
Speaker 1: the same people that are demonized every single day by

763
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:10,880
Speaker 1: Democrats in this country. Yeah, I gotta tell you, I

764
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 1: think having ICE agents at the airports, well, what do

765
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:19,520
Speaker 1: we see. They're saving kids, They're handing out water, they

766
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:21,920
Speaker 1: are helping the public get in the right line and

767
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:24,280
Speaker 1: move things along and get them to their flights faster.

768
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:29,680
Speaker 1: I think it's good pr for ICE demonized constantly by

769
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:34,239
Speaker 1: the mainstream media, demonized by Democrats. I mean, even as

770
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 1: President Trump was deploying ICE to the airports, what did

771
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:42,879
Speaker 1: you hear democrats say, Hakeem Jeffries at others on TV immediately, Oh,

772
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:45,560
Speaker 1: ICE is gonna come to your airport and shoot you

773
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:49,279
Speaker 1: if you try to fly somewhere. I saw a lot

774
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:53,719
Speaker 1: of Democrats saying that. Extremely irresponsible, by the way, but

775
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:58,319
Speaker 1: what's the truth. Here's some water. Let me save your baby.

776
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:01,799
Speaker 1: It seems to me ICE is doing itself a world

777
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:04,280
Speaker 1: of good by answering the call here from the president.

778
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 1: As Democrats keep the Department of Homeland Security shut down,

779
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:11,440
Speaker 1: Let's talk about what's going on on Capitol Hill. The

780
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 1: Senate has not come to any deal on funding DHS.

781
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 1: There is some rumblings that discussions are being held behind

782
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:20,400
Speaker 1: the scenes. Now. The Senate is supposed to go on

783
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:24,800
Speaker 1: Easter recess next week, but many senators are now saying

784
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 1: that should be canceled, including Alabama's Katie Britt. Let's hear

785
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 1: her and cut twenty four.

786
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 16: Well, first off, we're.

787
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:33,719
Speaker 17: Not leaving if this doesn't get done. I mean, lawmakers

788
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 17: need to get ready to actually do their job. I

789
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 17: mean we've had forty forty one days of a Democrat

790
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:40,320
Speaker 17: led shutdown.

791
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:42,719
Speaker 16: This is the second one of the fiscal year.

792
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:46,160
Speaker 17: When you're looking at people who have stepped forward to say, hey,

793
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:49,320
Speaker 17: we want to serve our homeland, we want to protect

794
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:53,360
Speaker 17: American citizens from coast to coast, Democrats are finding a

795
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:55,319
Speaker 17: way to not pay those individuals.

796
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:57,840
Speaker 16: Republicans are saying, let's get this done.

797
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:00,000
Speaker 17: We want to make sure that TSA is fully funed,

798
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 17: that Coastguard is fully funded, SISA is fully funded. That

799
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:06,520
Speaker 17: we make sure that our border patrol agents are ready

800
00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:09,360
Speaker 17: to protect our border and to take a look at

801
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 17: the packages coming in to do.

802
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:12,440
Speaker 16: Their jobs at our airport.

803
00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 17: We're looking at our law enforcement officers in our interior.

804
00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 17: We know how important that is that that is fully funded.

805
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:22,120
Speaker 17: So we're working diligently to get that done. And we

806
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:25,840
Speaker 17: know that that's important to the American people, and so we're.

807
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:27,480
Speaker 16: Committed to making it happen. But I hope people get

808
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:32,400
Speaker 16: used to staying right here until that happens. We shouldn't

809
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:34,400
Speaker 16: be leaving at all.

810
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:37,920
Speaker 1: As Senator Katie Britt of Alabama now the Republican leader

811
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:40,440
Speaker 1: in the Senate, John fun has made some remarks in

812
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:43,480
Speaker 1: the last few minutes on the floor about what's going

813
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:45,839
Speaker 1: on with the Democrats who keep DHS shut down. They

814
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 1: voted last night to keep it shut down. The Senate

815
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:52,839
Speaker 1: achieved fifty four votes last night. They need sixty. Let's

816
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:55,120
Speaker 1: hear from John fun here in cut number twenty five.

817
00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:58,680
Speaker 18: As President seems that Democrats have no interest in reaching

818
00:45:58,719 --> 00:45:59,280
Speaker 18: an agreement.

819
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:01,000
Speaker 16: Many of them are.

820
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:04,280
Speaker 18: Perfectly willing to leave the Department of Homeland Security unfunded

821
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:08,560
Speaker 18: for the long term. They claim that they want to

822
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:14,520
Speaker 18: fund the department. They claim that they're concerned about TSA

823
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 18: officers and other working without pay, But Miss President talk

824
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:21,640
Speaker 18: is cheap.

825
00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 3: And their actions belie their words.

826
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:29,720
Speaker 18: If Democrats cared about TSA officers, if they cared about

827
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:32,799
Speaker 18: Coast Guard employees, if they cared about the vital work

828
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:36,160
Speaker 18: of the Department of Homeland Security, then they would be

829
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:42,279
Speaker 18: getting serious about closing a deal, not ceaselessly offering up

830
00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:46,640
Speaker 18: the same unchanging list of demands like a broken record

831
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:51,239
Speaker 18: or a particularly nightmarish version of Groundhog Day.

832
00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:56,040
Speaker 1: I was Senator John Foon. Also on the Senate floor today,

833
00:46:56,120 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 1: Republicans offered up a bill to require photo IDEA in

834
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:04,600
Speaker 1: nationwide elections. Seems reasonable since eighty eighty five percent of

835
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 1: the country wants to do photo ID. It achieved fifty

836
00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:10,319
Speaker 1: three votes in the Senate, it needed sixty. You can

837
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:12,960
Speaker 1: imagine who voted for it and against it. So happens

838
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:15,600
Speaker 1: to be the partisan split in the Senate is fifty

839
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:20,080
Speaker 1: three Republicans in forty seven Democrats. Democrats block voting against

840
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:24,080
Speaker 1: photo ID. President held a cabinet meeting at the White

841
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:26,799
Speaker 1: House this morning. Let's listen to the President here talked

842
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:28,480
Speaker 1: about Iran cut number eighteen.

843
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:36,960
Speaker 5: They now have the chance, that is Iran to permanently

844
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:40,440
Speaker 5: abandon their nuclear ambitions and to charge a new path forward.

845
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:42,839
Speaker 5: We'll see if they want to do it. If they don't,

846
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:46,560
Speaker 5: were their worse nightmare. In the meantime, we'll just keep

847
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:51,440
Speaker 5: blowing them away, unipeded, unstopped.

848
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:53,840
Speaker 1: Well, there's not a thing they can do about it.

849
00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:56,000
Speaker 5: They can't do anything about it, you know, I'll tell

850
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:57,640
Speaker 5: you if they could, if they could, you'd be hearing

851
00:47:57,680 --> 00:47:58,160
Speaker 5: about it.

852
00:47:59,120 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 3: You'd be hearing about it.

853
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:01,880
Speaker 12: But you don't hear anything about it.

854
00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:05,520
Speaker 1: Got a ton going on in Washington today, folks. I

855
00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:09,040
Speaker 1: ran the shutdown, all sorts of issues. And I see

856
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:13,080
Speaker 1: on my screen Congresswoman Beth van Dine from Texas. We're

857
00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:15,520
Speaker 1: going to talk to her after this commercial break. She's

858
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:17,600
Speaker 1: going to give us an update from her perspective over

859
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:20,160
Speaker 1: in the house. First, a quick word from our friends

860
00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:24,399
Speaker 1: at Relief Factor. I can't say enough good things about

861
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:27,799
Speaker 1: Relief Factor. We have really enjoyed this product in the

862
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:31,880
Speaker 1: Jennings household, and honestly, what I enjoy also is getting

863
00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:35,880
Speaker 1: letters and notes from customers of Relief Factor people all

864
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:38,719
Speaker 1: over the country, lots of states, lots of people, lots

865
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:41,560
Speaker 1: of walks of life. They have aches and pains that's

866
00:48:41,719 --> 00:48:44,000
Speaker 1: getting in their way, keeping them from doing the things

867
00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:46,400
Speaker 1: they want to do. We're getting all these letters and

868
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:48,439
Speaker 1: they say I didn't know what to do. I took

869
00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:51,759
Speaker 1: Relief Factor and hey, everything is getting better for me.

870
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:55,560
Speaker 1: Relief Factor has recently introduced a new formula. They've added

871
00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:59,480
Speaker 1: premium black pepper xtract because it helps your body absorb

872
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:03,399
Speaker 1: the high quality key ingredients more efficiently. That sounds pretty

873
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:05,759
Speaker 1: good to me. So if you've been listening to me

874
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:08,360
Speaker 1: talk about Relief Factor for a while, maybe this is

875
00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:11,239
Speaker 1: your moment. Start with a three week quick start for

876
00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:15,240

Speaker 1: common sense for the American people. Joining me now is

907
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:15,319
Speaker 1: the twenty fifth governor of Montana. He also represented that

908
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:18,520
Speaker 1: state in the US House for two terms. He's also

909
00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:22,279
Speaker 1: the newly elected chairman of the Republican Governors Association. His

910
00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:24,880
Speaker 1: name is Greg gen Forte, Governor. Welcome back to the

911
00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:25,799
Speaker 1: Scott Jtting Show.

912
00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:28,400
Speaker 19: Scott, it's good to be with you.

913
00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:31,640
Speaker 1: Thank you for having the time for us today, and

914
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:35,960
Speaker 1: thank you for your willingness to be a common sense

915
00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:38,760
Speaker 1: leader for our country. And I want to talk about

916
00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:42,400
Speaker 1: uncommon nonsense in Washington, d C. In the form of

917
00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:45,880
Speaker 1: the shutdown that's going on the Department of Homeland Security.

918
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:48,320
Speaker 1: Democrats have had it shut down for forty one days.

919
00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:51,600
Speaker 1: You know, you're a governor running an entire state. You're

920
00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:54,600
Speaker 1: sometimes at the mercy of what the FEDS do. How

921
00:51:54,719 --> 00:51:59,239
Speaker 1: is this impasse affecting Montana and everyday people that you

922
00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:00,279
Speaker 1: represent back home?

923
00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:04,280
Speaker 19: Well, it's we just need Congress to do their job

924
00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:09,239
Speaker 19: with the biggest impact we're seeing here is really with

925
00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:13,520
Speaker 19: the TSA agents at the airports. We are fortunate that

926
00:52:14,719 --> 00:52:19,600
Speaker 19: eight of our major airports in the state use private security,

927
00:52:20,080 --> 00:52:24,440
Speaker 19: not official TSA agents, So that's given us a path

928
00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:27,719
Speaker 19: to avoid a lot of the confusion. But you know

929
00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:32,560
Speaker 19: the TSA agents that are working, we're you know, in Helena, Missoula.

930
00:52:33,080 --> 00:52:38,440
Speaker 19: There are private food drives, gift cards for TSA agents.

931
00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:41,880
Speaker 19: These are people you know that put on the uniform,

932
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:45,880
Speaker 19: come to work every day to serve the public. An

933
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:50,800
Speaker 19: employer has an obligation to pay them. And just because

934
00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:54,719
Speaker 19: of a couple of Democrats in the Senate, they're holding

935
00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:59,480
Speaker 19: the American people and these agents in particular hostage. They

936
00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:01,399
Speaker 19: just need to get their act together and do their job.

937
00:53:02,280 --> 00:53:04,520
Speaker 1: Governor, you were in Congress for a couple of terms.

938
00:53:04,560 --> 00:53:07,040
Speaker 1: You obviously dealt with a lot of these Democrats. You've

939
00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:10,320
Speaker 1: been back home now for a bit. Are you shocked

940
00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:14,040
Speaker 1: at just how far left the Democratic Party has gone

941
00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:17,520
Speaker 1: when it comes to immigration and immigration enforcement. That's what

942
00:53:17,560 --> 00:53:20,600
Speaker 1: this is all about. They don't want immigration enforcement, and

943
00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:23,239
Speaker 1: their base expects them to do crazy things like shut

944
00:53:23,239 --> 00:53:27,440
Speaker 1: down the Department of Homeland Security. Is it just incredible

945
00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:30,280
Speaker 1: to you how far to the left Democrats have gone

946
00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:32,680
Speaker 1: on simply enforcing the laws of our country.

947
00:53:33,920 --> 00:53:37,480
Speaker 19: Well, it is surprising we see some of this craziness

948
00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:41,840
Speaker 19: even in some of our blue enclaves. Here in the

949
00:53:41,840 --> 00:53:42,719
Speaker 19: state of Montana.

950
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:43,400
Speaker 5: We know.

951
00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:46,000
Speaker 19: I back in twenty twenty one, I signed a bill

952
00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:50,080
Speaker 19: that it's pretty common sense. It just said, hey, we're

953
00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:55,000
Speaker 19: not going to provide sanctuary to illegal immigrants in our communities,

954
00:53:55,040 --> 00:53:59,800
Speaker 19: and by law, by statute, in Montana, local law and

955
00:53:59,840 --> 00:54:03,719
Speaker 19: enforcement needs to work with federal law enforcement. We need

956
00:54:03,719 --> 00:54:07,200
Speaker 19: to cooperate with customs and Border Patrol, we need to

957
00:54:07,239 --> 00:54:11,120
Speaker 19: cooperate with ice. And yet we see some jurisdictions that

958
00:54:11,239 --> 00:54:14,319
Speaker 19: think they can just ignore the law and do their

959
00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:17,520
Speaker 19: own thing. I stood up with our Attorney general just

960
00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:21,440
Speaker 19: last month and just called them out on that. There

961
00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:25,520
Speaker 19: we have communities that are in violation of state statute.

962
00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:29,680
Speaker 19: There are penalties specified in the law, and if we

963
00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:33,160
Speaker 19: find that in fact they have violated the law, we're

964
00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:36,120
Speaker 19: going to implement these penalties, and we're going to cut

965
00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:41,040
Speaker 19: off state funds things like water for money for water

966
00:54:41,160 --> 00:54:45,319
Speaker 19: and sewer systems. We're not going to tolerate defiance here

967
00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:45,840
Speaker 19: in Montana.

968
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:49,480
Speaker 1: So you all have a law in Montana where you

969
00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:52,360
Speaker 1: can't have sanctuary cities, and the folks over in Helena

970
00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:55,720
Speaker 1: are trying to violate that. Exactly what are they doing,

971
00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:58,840
Speaker 1: how strident are they being? And if they are found

972
00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:01,080
Speaker 1: to be violating this law, what are the penalties for

973
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:01,480
Speaker 1: doing so?

974
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:08,680
Speaker 19: Yeah, so they the Helena City Commission last month passed

975
00:55:08,680 --> 00:55:16,200
Speaker 19: a resolution directing city law enforcement to not cooperate with us.

976
00:55:17,560 --> 00:55:21,279
Speaker 19: We believe this is a violation of our anti sanctuary

977
00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:25,520
Speaker 19: city law. The law calls for ten thousand dollars in

978
00:55:25,640 --> 00:55:32,200
Speaker 19: fines for every five days of violation. Now, it was

979
00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:36,600
Speaker 19: interesting it was reported in the local paper that the

980
00:55:37,560 --> 00:55:44,280
Speaker 19: lawyer for the city in council with the city commissioners said, jeez,

981
00:55:46,120 --> 00:55:50,640
Speaker 19: you might have to retract that resolution. The mayor and

982
00:55:50,719 --> 00:55:54,520
Speaker 19: the city council have boded their next they're having a

983
00:55:54,560 --> 00:55:59,480
Speaker 19: town hall at the Civic Center tonight to try and

984
00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:03,560
Speaker 19: decide how they're going to respond to the state actually

985
00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:07,200
Speaker 19: implementing law that was passed by the legislature and signed

986
00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:07,800
Speaker 19: by myself.

987
00:56:09,040 --> 00:56:12,239
Speaker 1: Incredible that you have local officials. Of course, we've seen this.

988
00:56:12,239 --> 00:56:14,600
Speaker 1: This is what happened in Minnesota. We're seeing it in Virginia.

989
00:56:15,239 --> 00:56:19,520
Speaker 1: Local officials trying to invite illegal alien populations into their cities,

990
00:56:19,560 --> 00:56:21,839
Speaker 1: and of course it has disastrous consequences. We just saw

991
00:56:21,880 --> 00:56:25,799
Speaker 1: in Chicago recently. This weekend, Venezuelan and illegal alien killed

992
00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:28,920
Speaker 1: an eighteen year old college freshmen there. Shared in Gorman,

993
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:31,600
Speaker 1: we see this happen over and over again. I'm a

994
00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:34,840
Speaker 1: little surprised to hear it's happening in Montana, but sounds

995
00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:38,000
Speaker 1: like you're willing to deal with it and stand up

996
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:40,360
Speaker 1: to it, which is what I assumed ninety percent of

997
00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:42,600
Speaker 1: your constituents would want you to do. I would think

998
00:56:42,600 --> 00:56:44,560
Speaker 1: most people out there would find this to be crazy.

999
00:56:45,560 --> 00:56:48,359
Speaker 19: Yeah, these are small pockets, but even here, I mean,

1000
00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:53,240
Speaker 19: we've seen the inflow of fentanyl from the southern border

1001
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:58,480
Speaker 19: into all of our communities. We've dhs and ICE have

1002
00:56:58,680 --> 00:57:04,000
Speaker 19: arrested fourteen team the worst of the worst here in Montana.

1003
00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:07,640
Speaker 19: So we are not immune to the cartels. Even though

1004
00:57:07,680 --> 00:57:11,200
Speaker 19: we're a northern border state. We've seen the impacts of

1005
00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:14,920
Speaker 19: the open border policy. We need to be working with

1006
00:57:15,239 --> 00:57:18,240
Speaker 19: federal law enforcement to make our communities safe.

1007
00:57:19,120 --> 00:57:21,880
Speaker 1: All right, Governor g In fourte of Montana. That's the

1008
00:57:21,960 --> 00:57:23,920
Speaker 1: voice you're hearing our special guest here on the Scott

1009
00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:26,919
Speaker 1: Jennings Show, Governor, I want to talk a little politics.

1010
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:30,320
Speaker 1: In addition to running Montana, you're also running the Republican

1011
00:57:30,520 --> 00:57:34,720
Speaker 1: Governors Association. We call it the RGA, and I think

1012
00:57:34,760 --> 00:57:38,560
Speaker 1: there's like thirty six governor's races and maybe three territories

1013
00:57:38,560 --> 00:57:41,800
Speaker 1: this year that have races. So talk to us about

1014
00:57:41,800 --> 00:57:45,720
Speaker 1: the RGA's priority states. What races are you looking at

1015
00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:48,400
Speaker 1: as being the hottest governor's races in the country. How

1016
00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:51,520
Speaker 1: are you feeling about Republican chances in these state races?

1017
00:57:52,240 --> 00:57:56,080
Speaker 19: Well, given the lunacy on the other side, pretty good.

1018
00:57:56,600 --> 00:58:01,320
Speaker 19: You're right, there's thirty six governor's races in In red states,

1019
00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:05,680
Speaker 19: we see lower and lower unemployment, we see lower and

1020
00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:10,360
Speaker 19: lower taxes, we see more and more freedom. In blue states,

1021
00:58:10,440 --> 00:58:15,880
Speaker 19: we see higher and higher taxes, we see budget deficits,

1022
00:58:16,360 --> 00:58:20,000
Speaker 19: and we see people fleeing those states. We're experiencing that here,

1023
00:58:20,040 --> 00:58:23,840
Speaker 19: so thirty six races. The RGA's philosophy is pretty simple.

1024
00:58:23,840 --> 00:58:27,760
Speaker 19: We don't get involved in landslides. There's some states they're

1025
00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:30,320
Speaker 19: going to vote red no matter what we do. And

1026
00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:33,520
Speaker 19: we don't get involved in lost causes. There are some

1027
00:58:33,720 --> 00:58:37,160
Speaker 19: states that have lost their way and they're not going

1028
00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:39,920
Speaker 19: to vote for a Republican. So there's a handful of

1029
00:58:39,960 --> 00:58:43,480
Speaker 19: states where we really see them as battleground states. There's

1030
00:58:43,520 --> 00:58:46,880
Speaker 19: no reason why Arizona is not a red state. It

1031
00:58:46,960 --> 00:58:51,280
Speaker 19: should be have a red governor. Kansas should be a

1032
00:58:51,280 --> 00:58:56,080
Speaker 19: red state. Michigan. Interesting situation in Michigan where we have

1033
00:58:56,120 --> 00:58:59,920
Speaker 19: a Democrat running as an independent, which will split the

1034
00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:02,640
Speaker 19: Democrat vote, so we have a path to victory there.

1035
00:59:03,600 --> 00:59:06,760
Speaker 19: Wisconsin as well. Tom Piffany's doing a good job. I

1036
00:59:06,800 --> 00:59:10,360
Speaker 19: think he stands in great shape. We need to rewin Georgia,

1037
00:59:10,480 --> 00:59:13,560
Speaker 19: that's a purple state. Brian Kemp's done a great job,

1038
00:59:14,240 --> 00:59:17,440
Speaker 19: but you know it's going to be a fight. And

1039
00:59:17,440 --> 00:59:20,840
Speaker 19: then Joe Lombardo in Nevada, he has done a great

1040
00:59:20,920 --> 00:59:25,160
Speaker 19: job former sheriff of Las Vegas, but you know, pretty

1041
00:59:25,240 --> 00:59:27,760
Speaker 19: even in the polls because again it's a purple state.

1042
00:59:28,280 --> 00:59:31,520
Speaker 19: So that's a little rundown of where we see the opportunities.

1043
00:59:31,600 --> 00:59:34,680
Speaker 19: And there's probably some others where depending on how the

1044
00:59:34,720 --> 00:59:38,440
Speaker 19: primaries go. I mean, there's over a dozen people running

1045
00:59:38,480 --> 00:59:41,520
Speaker 19: for governor in Alaska and they have this crazy ranked

1046
00:59:41,600 --> 00:59:44,120
Speaker 19: choice voting. We have no idea what's going to come

1047
00:59:44,160 --> 00:59:46,520
Speaker 19: out of the primary, so we have to wait and

1048
00:59:46,560 --> 00:59:49,080
Speaker 19: see on some of these, But the ones I mentioned

1049
00:59:49,120 --> 00:59:51,240
Speaker 19: are where our focuses a.

1050
00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:54,760
Speaker 1: Lot of our political talk these days. Governor is really nationalized.

1051
00:59:54,800 --> 00:59:58,200
Speaker 1: Everything revolves around President Trump for what's happening in Washington.

1052
00:59:58,720 --> 01:00:02,680
Speaker 1: To these governors races give Republicans a unique opportunity to

1053
01:00:02,760 --> 01:00:06,920
Speaker 1: really localize politics. Talk about competence in governing, talk about

1054
01:00:07,200 --> 01:00:09,880
Speaker 1: what makes this state or what could make this state

1055
01:00:10,360 --> 01:00:12,320
Speaker 1: a better place to live. Is that kind of a

1056
01:00:12,320 --> 01:00:16,200
Speaker 1: strategic focus that you would advise gubernatorial candidates to take.

1057
01:00:17,520 --> 01:00:20,640
Speaker 19: Oh yeah, I mean politics is local and we see

1058
01:00:20,640 --> 01:00:24,560
Speaker 19: it here because in Montana there is a stark contrast

1059
01:00:24,560 --> 01:00:29,800
Speaker 19: between us in Washington State, or Oregon, or California or

1060
01:00:29,920 --> 01:00:33,680
Speaker 19: Colorado because they have blue governors here. We we even

1061
01:00:34,440 --> 01:00:38,320
Speaker 19: I have some business attraction guys at the Department of Commerce.

1062
01:00:38,640 --> 01:00:42,160
Speaker 19: We go to those states. We find freedom loving individuals,

1063
01:00:42,440 --> 01:00:45,520
Speaker 19: and our appeal is very simple. We just say, hey,

1064
01:00:45,880 --> 01:00:48,000
Speaker 19: you want to move back to America.

1065
01:00:48,360 --> 01:00:48,520
Speaker 5: And.

1066
01:00:50,320 --> 01:00:50,920
Speaker 1: Big I love.

1067
01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:56,120
Speaker 19: We entertained. We entertained free to six business owners a month,

1068
01:00:56,840 --> 01:01:00,320
Speaker 19: looking at locations in Montana. We're talking to one large

1069
01:01:00,360 --> 01:01:03,919
Speaker 19: manufacturer in Washington State right now. They're looking at moving

1070
01:01:03,960 --> 01:01:08,240
Speaker 19: their entire operation. It's going to be it could be

1071
01:01:08,440 --> 01:01:11,720
Speaker 19: hundreds of millions of dollars invested here in Montana, and

1072
01:01:11,920 --> 01:01:15,120
Speaker 19: that'll create jobs and prosperity. We're one of only two

1073
01:01:15,200 --> 01:01:19,120
Speaker 19: states in the country because of our conservative policies where

1074
01:01:19,320 --> 01:01:23,280
Speaker 19: wage growth has exceeded inflation over the last five years.

1075
01:01:23,280 --> 01:01:26,440
Speaker 19: One of only two states US and Florida. And it's

1076
01:01:26,520 --> 01:01:30,080
Speaker 19: because we let people keep the fruits of their labor.

1077
01:01:30,560 --> 01:01:34,040
Speaker 19: We've repealed thirty five percent of the regulations in the state,

1078
01:01:34,480 --> 01:01:37,600
Speaker 19: keeping only the ones we need. We've paid off all

1079
01:01:37,680 --> 01:01:41,120
Speaker 19: our debt. Montana is completely debt free. We've balanced our

1080
01:01:41,160 --> 01:01:44,480
Speaker 19: budget and as a result, people are prospering here.

1081
01:01:45,680 --> 01:01:45,880
Speaker 5: Now.

1082
01:01:45,920 --> 01:01:48,480
Speaker 1: You look at what's going on in red states. Education

1083
01:01:48,640 --> 01:01:53,440
Speaker 1: is getting better, you have people paying less taxes, you

1084
01:01:53,520 --> 01:01:56,640
Speaker 1: have businesses moving. In the migration situation in this country,

1085
01:01:56,680 --> 01:01:59,400
Speaker 1: people are leaving blue states going to red states. There's

1086
01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:01,600
Speaker 1: a reason for all all of this, and the reasons

1087
01:02:01,600 --> 01:02:04,720
Speaker 1: are policy and leadership. Governor greg and Forte of Montana,

1088
01:02:04,800 --> 01:02:07,200
Speaker 1: thanks for joining us today and we look forward to

1089
01:02:07,240 --> 01:02:09,360
Speaker 1: heaving you back as we track down these governors' races

1090
01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:11,600
Speaker 1: for the rest of the air. Thank you, sir, okay,

1091
01:02:11,720 --> 01:02:14,800
Speaker 1: thank you, Scott. All right, take air, governor. It's the

1092
01:02:14,800 --> 01:02:17,160
Speaker 1: Scott Jennings Show on Salem. We're going to take a break.

1093
01:02:17,280 --> 01:02:19,120
Speaker 1: Before we do, I do want to talk to you

1094
01:02:19,200 --> 01:02:22,160
Speaker 1: about Operation Epic Fury and what is happening in the

1095
01:02:22,240 --> 01:02:26,400
Speaker 1: Holy Land with all of these missiles raining down on Israel.

1096
01:02:26,440 --> 01:02:29,680
Speaker 1: The red alert sirens are filling the air constantly. And

1097
01:02:29,720 --> 01:02:32,520
Speaker 1: if you're there, and I believe me, last summer I

1098
01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:35,360
Speaker 1: was there, I experienced this. When the sirens go off,

1099
01:02:35,400 --> 01:02:38,680
Speaker 1: you've got like fifteen seconds to get into a bomb shelter.

1100
01:02:38,840 --> 01:02:41,480
Speaker 1: That is daily life for the folks in Israel. And

1101
01:02:41,520 --> 01:02:43,720
Speaker 1: it's at times like these that we are grateful for

1102
01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:47,760
Speaker 1: the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. They prepare large

1103
01:02:47,760 --> 01:02:52,080
Speaker 1: scale distributions of food, first aid and emergency essentials. They

1104
01:02:52,120 --> 01:02:55,000
Speaker 1: take care of Israel's most vulnerable, the sick, the elderly,

1105
01:02:55,360 --> 01:02:58,240
Speaker 1: children in families. They all depend on the work of

1106
01:02:58,280 --> 01:03:02,320
Speaker 1: the Fellowship. I'm asking you to join with Christians and

1107
01:03:02,400 --> 01:03:05,440
Speaker 1: Jews around the world and praying for the protection of Israel,

1108
01:03:05,760 --> 01:03:08,640
Speaker 1: her people and the brave American and Israeli troops who

1109
01:03:08,640 --> 01:03:12,080
Speaker 1: are putting their lives on the line fighting the brutal

1110
01:03:12,160 --> 01:03:15,480
Speaker 1: Iranian regime. Stand up with Israel today. You can do

1111
01:03:15,560 --> 01:03:20,240
Speaker 1: it by going to support IFCJ dot org. That is

1112
01:03:20,320 --> 01:03:24,640
Speaker 1: support IFCJ dot org. One last break, and when we

1113
01:03:24,680 --> 01:03:27,360
Speaker 1: come back, my buddies from Burna are going to be here.

1114
01:03:27,400 --> 01:03:29,800
Speaker 1: What is Burna? You might ask. I want to tell

1115
01:03:29,840 --> 01:03:32,360
Speaker 1: you about it after this come back. It's Scott Jennings

1116
01:03:32,400 --> 01:04:25,800
Speaker 1: on Salem.

1117
01:03:59,280 --> 01:04:01,600
Speaker 11: No America's favorite pundit.

1118
01:04:01,920 --> 01:04:03,840
Speaker 14: It's Scott Jennings.

1119
01:04:03,840 --> 01:04:06,960
Speaker 1: Home Stretch here on Thursday, March twenty sixth excited for

1120
01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:11,040
Speaker 1: this conversation. My buddies from Burna are here. B y

1121
01:04:11,360 --> 01:04:14,800
Speaker 1: r NA. If you're a regular listener, you've heard me

1122
01:04:14,920 --> 01:04:19,080
Speaker 1: talking about Burna. They make the non lethal pepper pellet

1123
01:04:19,080 --> 01:04:21,480
Speaker 1: gun for self defense. I've got the director for Law

1124
01:04:21,560 --> 01:04:26,360
Speaker 1: Enforcement and Government Affairs from Burner here, Joshua Chirard. Joshua,

1125
01:04:26,400 --> 01:04:29,200
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Scott Jennings Show. I'm glad you're with

1126
01:04:29,280 --> 01:04:32,760
Speaker 1: us today. I want you to tell the listeners about Burna.

1127
01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:34,760
Speaker 1: I've been talking about it on the air now for

1128
01:04:34,800 --> 01:04:37,720
Speaker 1: a few weeks. But tell us what was the inspiration

1129
01:04:38,120 --> 01:04:41,880
Speaker 1: behind creating this burna tool for self protection. It's a

1130
01:04:41,920 --> 01:04:45,160
Speaker 1: non lethal launcher system, but tell us about the inspiration

1131
01:04:45,240 --> 01:04:45,680
Speaker 1: behind it.

1132
01:04:47,560 --> 01:04:50,800
Speaker 20: Thanks Scott so Burna is a less lethal self defense company.

1133
01:04:50,920 --> 01:04:53,160
Speaker 20: And back in twenty nineteen, when we started looking at

1134
01:04:53,160 --> 01:04:56,760
Speaker 20: the landscape of self defense tools that your average citizen

1135
01:04:57,040 --> 01:04:59,600
Speaker 20: had access to, it was either a gun on one end,

1136
01:04:59,880 --> 01:05:02,520
Speaker 20: or where it was tiny keychain, pepper spray and your

1137
01:05:02,560 --> 01:05:05,880
Speaker 20: fists on the other. And unfortunately, there was this giant

1138
01:05:06,000 --> 01:05:08,360
Speaker 20: gap and so we realized that we could come in

1139
01:05:08,400 --> 01:05:10,640
Speaker 20: and create a tool that people could incorporate into the

1140
01:05:10,720 --> 01:05:14,520
Speaker 20: everyday life, into the their own ecosystem that filled that gap,

1141
01:05:14,800 --> 01:05:16,920
Speaker 20: and it was so much more likely to be useful

1142
01:05:16,920 --> 01:05:20,400
Speaker 20: in so many more scenarios than both that gun or

1143
01:05:20,400 --> 01:05:24,360
Speaker 20: that tiny keychain pepper spray or those fists even as well.

1144
01:05:24,400 --> 01:05:28,520
Speaker 20: And that's where we really saw the giving people options

1145
01:05:28,680 --> 01:05:31,000
Speaker 20: that they could fit into their lifestyle was so key

1146
01:05:31,280 --> 01:05:33,360
Speaker 20: and making sure that they were prepared to defend every day.

1147
01:05:34,320 --> 01:05:36,720
Speaker 1: All right, So let's talk about the legality of this.

1148
01:05:37,600 --> 01:05:40,840
Speaker 1: Is it's a non lethal launcher, so I guess it's

1149
01:05:40,880 --> 01:05:43,120
Speaker 1: not proper to call it a gun in the sense

1150
01:05:43,120 --> 01:05:45,760
Speaker 1: that we use that term in the United States commonly,

1151
01:05:46,160 --> 01:05:48,240
Speaker 1: But is it legal to own everywhere? Can you get

1152
01:05:48,240 --> 01:05:49,320
Speaker 1: this in all fifty states?

1153
01:05:50,760 --> 01:05:52,880
Speaker 20: That is correct. It is not a firearm. We don't

1154
01:05:52,880 --> 01:05:55,520
Speaker 20: refer to it, and legally it cannot be and is

1155
01:05:55,600 --> 01:05:58,400
Speaker 20: not referred to as a firearm, So it is legal

1156
01:05:58,640 --> 01:06:01,280
Speaker 20: in all fifty states. There's no hermit's required anywhere, there's

1157
01:06:01,280 --> 01:06:03,640
Speaker 20: no background checks. You can order it online. You can

1158
01:06:03,640 --> 01:06:05,560
Speaker 20: go to our website, you can go to Amazon. You

1159
01:06:05,600 --> 01:06:08,240
Speaker 20: can go into one of our three thousand dealers anywhere

1160
01:06:08,280 --> 01:06:10,600
Speaker 20: in the US and buy this. You can take it

1161
01:06:10,640 --> 01:06:13,040
Speaker 20: across state lines. You can take it. I fly with

1162
01:06:13,120 --> 01:06:14,720
Speaker 20: it every week. I put it in my check bag,

1163
01:06:15,120 --> 01:06:17,680
Speaker 20: no declaring, no nothing. I can fly with it. It's

1164
01:06:17,760 --> 01:06:20,240
Speaker 20: so easy to carry everywhere you go. You don't have

1165
01:06:20,280 --> 01:06:22,560
Speaker 20: to worry about reciprocity. You don't have to worry about

1166
01:06:22,720 --> 01:06:24,560
Speaker 20: if it's legal for me to carry in that state.

1167
01:06:24,760 --> 01:06:27,120
Speaker 20: You know it can go anywhere with you and you're

1168
01:06:27,160 --> 01:06:28,600
Speaker 20: going to be protected everywhere.

1169
01:06:29,280 --> 01:06:32,120
Speaker 1: All right. I've got one of these things and shot it.

1170
01:06:32,320 --> 01:06:35,480
Speaker 1: Very easy to use. But tell us how the product works,

1171
01:06:35,480 --> 01:06:38,520
Speaker 1: specifically the pepper pellets. Tell us how it works to

1172
01:06:38,560 --> 01:06:43,160
Speaker 1: disarm somebody who might be an assailant, So it uses.

1173
01:06:42,960 --> 01:06:46,000
Speaker 20: A CO two cartridge that stays in that launcher unpierced,

1174
01:06:46,360 --> 01:06:49,000
Speaker 20: so there's no worry about leaking cartridges anything like that.

1175
01:06:49,040 --> 01:06:51,480
Speaker 20: You pull the trigger, pierces of cartridge fires that sixty

1176
01:06:51,520 --> 01:06:54,640
Speaker 20: eight or sixty one caliber ball that contains a powderized

1177
01:06:54,680 --> 01:06:56,960
Speaker 20: chemical agent. When it hits the target, you get a

1178
01:06:56,960 --> 01:06:59,120
Speaker 20: three to five foot cloud of chemical agent mixed with

1179
01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:01,960
Speaker 20: boat peper spread and see us the active ingredient and

1180
01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:06,320
Speaker 20: tear gas which will immediately incapacitate anyone and put them

1181
01:07:06,360 --> 01:07:08,720
Speaker 20: down and allow you to escape. They're gonna be incapacitated

1182
01:07:08,760 --> 01:07:10,720
Speaker 20: for anywhere, you know, from half an hour to forty

1183
01:07:10,720 --> 01:07:13,160
Speaker 20: five minutes or beyond. So the whole point is that

1184
01:07:13,160 --> 01:07:15,560
Speaker 20: it buys you time, allows you to escape, uses a

1185
01:07:15,680 --> 01:07:19,320
Speaker 20: very low level of force to incapacitate an attacker, which

1186
01:07:19,320 --> 01:07:21,360
Speaker 20: makes it so useful in so many different scenarios.

1187
01:07:22,200 --> 01:07:24,680
Speaker 1: I shot this thing in my backyard, and I gotta

1188
01:07:24,720 --> 01:07:26,080
Speaker 1: tell you, it looks like it would hurt like the

1189
01:07:26,120 --> 01:07:29,520
Speaker 1: dickens if you shot somebody with it wouldn't kill them.

1190
01:07:29,520 --> 01:07:32,960
Speaker 1: It's non lethal, but man, it's gonna dissuade someone from

1191
01:07:32,960 --> 01:07:36,520
Speaker 1: continue you can to approach you yes, absolutely.

1192
01:07:36,520 --> 01:07:38,360
Speaker 20: I mean, you get the pain compliance of that that

1193
01:07:38,880 --> 01:07:41,360
Speaker 20: ball hitting you. It's you know, four hundred feet per second.

1194
01:07:41,840 --> 01:07:44,720
Speaker 20: And then of course the powderize temflagent to incapacitate them.

1195
01:07:44,760 --> 01:07:46,440
Speaker 20: So it definitely you know, we get a lot of

1196
01:07:46,480 --> 01:07:49,560
Speaker 20: reports from law enforcement people. Law enforcement all over the nation,

1197
01:07:49,600 --> 01:07:51,479
Speaker 20: all over the world is using it. Over eight hundred

1198
01:07:51,520 --> 01:07:53,360
Speaker 20: agencies here in the US and then you know, several

1199
01:07:53,440 --> 01:07:55,360
Speaker 20: countries all over the world. And we got a lot

1200
01:07:55,360 --> 01:07:57,000
Speaker 20: of reports that people thought they were shot, they hurt

1201
01:07:57,040 --> 01:07:59,880
Speaker 20: a pow, they felt an immense amount of pain and

1202
01:08:00,080 --> 01:08:03,120
Speaker 20: doubt and they go so you know, and compliant they becomes.

1203
01:08:03,160 --> 01:08:05,280
Speaker 20: That's exactly what we want, you know, a low level

1204
01:08:05,280 --> 01:08:07,560
Speaker 20: of force, but a high level of effectiveness.

1205
01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:10,800
Speaker 1: All right, I love this product. It's light, it's easy

1206
01:08:10,800 --> 01:08:13,280
Speaker 1: to use, it's easy to load. You keep it in

1207
01:08:13,320 --> 01:08:15,200
Speaker 1: your car. If you've got kids, like I do, you

1208
01:08:15,240 --> 01:08:17,800
Speaker 1: don't have to worry about them having access to a

1209
01:08:17,840 --> 01:08:21,080
Speaker 1: firearm necessarily. There's a lot of reasons to have a

1210

Speaker 1: BURNA product also assemble in Fort Wayne, Indiana, So the

1211

1224
01:09:01,080 --> 01:09:03,200
