1
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 1: The voice of free speech, the truth delivered common sense

2
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: for the American people. Welcome to the Scott Jenning Show.

3
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 2: Well, it was a calmer night in Minneapolis, but still

4
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 2: an impasse remains between Trump and local Democrats there. Arkansas

5
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 2: Attorney General Tim Griffin is here to take on China.

6
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 2: We'll talk to him. And Marco Rubio testifies on Capitol Hill.

7
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 2: It's Wednesday, January twenty eighth. This is the Scott Jennings

8
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 2: Show on Salem. Rely from your nation's capital today, still

9
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 2: fighting a cold, but determined to deliver common sense to

10
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 2: the American people. Were all hopped up on Pseuda fed

11
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 2: and musinix and hot tea and honey. Caroline's in here.

12
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 2: She's got the honey jar. She's like Winnie the Pooh

13
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 2: out here with all this honey. We'll see if we

14
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 2: can make it through the show. Let's start with the news.

15
00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 2: A calmer night last evening in Minneapolis, after Trump's born

16
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 2: Tom Homan arrived and met with the Governor Tim Walls

17
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 2: in Minneapolis Mayor and honorary Somali pirate Jacob Frye. It

18
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 2: appears that local police have now been freed up, at

19
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 2: least in some instances to help keep the peace now

20
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 2: before they had been ordered to stand down and look

21
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 2: away when federal agents were under attack from violent, angry mobs.

22
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 2: That's a big step in the right direction for Homan.

23
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 2: One has to wonder had Walls and Fry allowed local

24
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 2: police to do crowd control in the first place, would

25
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 2: two people be dead right now? Perhaps not Walls and

26
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 2: Fry and the rest of the Minnesota Democrats radicalized, mobilized,

27
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 2: and unleashed political vigilantes, and then told the local cops

28
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 2: to look the other way.

29
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 3: It's that simple.

30
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 2: At least now, this matter appears to be resolved of

31
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 2: using local cops to do crowd control. Let's hope it

32
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 2: stays that way. But there is no resolution on the

33
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 2: only question that met. Will mayor Fry cooperate with ICE

34
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 2: and let them take custody of illegal aliens who are

35
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 2: in the local jail. Homan asked for it, Trump wants it,

36
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 2: and today Fry still says no, he will not cooperate.

37
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 2: He says federal immigration laws will not be enforced in Minneapolis.

38
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 2: The attempted secession from the union continues. The lack of

39
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 2: cooperation is the entire reason for the large ICE presence

40
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 2: in Minneapolis. In the first place, Minneapolis is a sanctuary city,

41
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 2: and Frye is taking that to the extreme, protecting violent

42
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 2: illegal populations at all costs. There are nearly fourteen hundred

43
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 2: illegal aliens in Minnesota jails as we speak. While many

44
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 2: Democrats are content to die on this hill of defending

45
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 2: all illegal immigration, at least one of them is having

46
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,959
Speaker 2: a change of heart. I want you to listen to

47
00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 2: this exchange last night on CNN between Caitlin Collins and

48
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 2: Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania CUT eight.

49
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 4: Do you still agree with that tonight?

50
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 5: Is that still your position that sanctuary cities make people safer?

51
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:17,399
Speaker 6: I think at that time the dynamic has changed much differently,

52
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 6: and the border has become more and more increasingly more difficult.

53
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 7: So for me now, I think it's entirely appropriate.

54
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 6: To make the adjustments, and I do think I do

55
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 6: think at this point we should be turning over all

56
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 6: the criminals that are in custody and all these jurisdictions.

57
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 4: Does that I mean for Minneapolis.

58
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 5: Obviously you're the senator from Pennsylvania, But in Minnesota, Jacob

59
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 5: fry the mayor, says he doesn't believe that they should

60
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 5: cooperate with those federal enforcement laws. So you do believe

61
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 5: that they should be cooperating more with the Trump administration.

62
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 7: What I do.

63
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 6: What I do believe is that if there are law

64
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 6: enforcement that have these people in custody, you know, that

65
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 6: are behaving in criminal behavior, then yes they should, they

66
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 6: should cooperate with that, and those individuals, if they're convicted,

67
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 6: shouldn't be deported.

68
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 2: If only Minnesota had Democrats as sensible as John Fetterman.

69
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 2: Now Trump has the right guy on the ground here

70
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 2: in Homan, but Democrats have chosen so poorly when it

71
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 2: comes to leadership that a common sense outcome in Minnesota

72
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 2: seems a remote possibility. Sadly, Democrats nationwide are more apt

73
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 2: to display the attitude of walls and fry than Fetterman.

74
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 2: In fact, in Fetterman's home state of Pennsylvania, the Philadelphia

75
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 2: District Attorney Larry Krasner is facing enormous backlash today for

76
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 2: these comments about federal law enforcement officers.

77
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 3: You won't believe your ears. Here's cut six.

78
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 8: This is a small bunch of wanna be Nazis, that's

79
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 8: what they are. In a country of three hundred and

80
00:04:55,720 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 8: fifty million, we outnumber them. If we have to hunt

81
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 8: you down the way they hunted down Nazis for decades,

82
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 8: we will find your identities, we will find you, we

83
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 8: will achieve justice.

84
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 2: And it's hard to imagine anything more chilling than that.

85
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 2: The left in this country must decide, are we a

86
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 2: nation of laws, including immigration laws, or are we a

87
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 2: nation that lives under mob rule?

88
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 3: Now?

89
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 2: I appeared on CNN yesterday afternoon with Casey Hunt to

90
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 2: make a plea for being a nation of laws.

91
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 4: Here's cut ten. I will just caution all these people.

92
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 9: You cannot let an angry mob nullify federal law and

93
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 9: a jurisdiction.

94
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 10: If they do that in America, what the angry mob

95
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 10: is the American people.

96
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 9: These people in Minneapolis are an angry mob.

97
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 4: Whether you like it or not.

98
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 9: They don't like the fact that the president is enforcing

99
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 9: long standing federal immigration Does that mean they should be

100
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 9: on the street.

101
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 4: That's the question that we're talking about debate. The debate

102
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 4: is about what the president is going to do next.

103
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 9: And if you were to let them win and you

104
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 9: were to be run out of town, what do you

105
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 9: think what happened in La Chicago, New York, all over

106
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 9: the country you're going to or problematic?

107
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 4: I mean, do I think it's problematic? Of course, it's problematic. Okay,

108
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 4: is wrong anytime someone dies. Anytimes someone dies, it's problematic.

109
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 9: But what they're asking for is for federal law enforcement

110
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 9: to be sent.

111
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 4: Out of town? Is it wrong? And that no federal

112
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 4: laws at forced? Was what happened to Alex pretty on

113
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 4: the street?

114
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 11: Wrong?

115
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 4: Was it wrong? Is it wrong?

116
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 9: I'm waiting for an investigation, which I fully support. I

117
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:41,479
Speaker 9: don't know what the circumstances were.

118
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 12: If I don't like democratic president in the White House,

119
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 12: would you.

120
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 4: Be I want an investigation?

121
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 9: Would I want to? Of course I would. I don't

122
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 9: like that people have died. I don't like this chaos.

123
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 9: But I also don't like the idea that we're just

124
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 9: going to say, well, in this one little territory, we're

125
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,679
Speaker 9: not going to enforce federal laws anymore. That doesn't strike

126
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 9: me as a good idea for the president right now.

127
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 4: So A, he's got a treat situation.

128
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 9: It's very complex, but being run out of town by

129
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 9: an angry mob, to.

130
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 4: Me, is not an option.

131
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 2: That was the debate we had on CNN yesterday afternoon,

132
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 2: and it is the question of the day. Are we

133
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 2: a nation of laws or are we a nation of mobs?

134
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 2: And how are we going to treat the people who

135
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 2: enforce our laws? Are we going to treat them like

136
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 2: Nazis to be hunted as the Philadelphia District Attorney says,

137
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 2: Are we going to continue to call them the Gestapo?

138
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 2: That's what Tim Walls has called them. This is the

139
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 2: language they are using today to set up the action tomorrow.

140
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 2: Make no mistake, this is not mere rhetoric for these Democrats.

141
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 3: They fully intend to do this.

142
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 2: In California, a congressman named Eric Swalwell, who's now running

143
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 2: for governor of California, has threatened similar retribution for anyone

144
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 2: who has ever worked for ICE. So you have people

145
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 2: who sign up to be law enforcement, who sign up

146
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 2: to do public service for the federal government, who put

147
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 2: themselves in harm's way to protect.

148
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 3: Us and to enforce our laws.

149
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 2: They don't write laws, they enforce laws, and they get

150
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 2: to be treated like Nazis to be hunted down. It's

151
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 2: really unbelievable. This is a pivotal moment for Donald Trump's presidency.

152
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 2: In my opinion, it is a pivotal moment because allowing

153
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 2: angry mobs. To nullify federal laws would create open season

154
00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 2: on law enforcement in cities across the country, and that

155
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 2: simply cannot be allowed. I don't believe the President is

156
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:10,319
Speaker 2: going to allow it, after all enforcing our immigration laws

157
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 2: and cleaning up the immigration crisis caused by Democrats as

158
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 2: one of the key reasons he was elected in the

159
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 2: first place. You're listening to the Scott Jennings Show here

160
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 2: on Salem. We're delivering common sense for the American people.

161
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 3: You know, one of the.

162
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 2: Most rewarding parts of sharing with all of you relief

163
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 2: factor is that we hear real stories from real Americans

164
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 2: about how it's working for them. Here's a story from

165
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 2: a man named Rod from Texas. We get letters like

166
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,559
Speaker 2: this from all over the country. Here's Rod's story. I'm

167
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 2: sixty four years old and I used to build houses

168
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 2: on the side after working all day as an engineering

169
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 2: tech and inspector on municipal utility projects. It's hard work

170
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 2: and as a result, I had back pain. It's cruciating

171
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,199
Speaker 2: at times. My hip is my biggest problem. It causes

172
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 2: me constant pain. I had seen and heard about your

173
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 2: product advertised. I resisted because of the cost, but the

174
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 2: pain became so unmanageable, and because of your promo, I

175
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 2: broke down and gave it a try. I wouldn't have

176
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 2: believed the results if I hadn't seen it and felt

177
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 2: it for myself. Within four days, Rod's pain had for

178
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 2: the most part, subsided. It's gotten even better over the

179
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,079
Speaker 2: last four weeks. I can't thank you enough. Being pain

180
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 2: free is indescribable. Try it for yourself with their three

186
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 2: deeper look at plummeting homicide rates in America, Stay with us,

187
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 2: ready for.

188
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 13: More common sense here CNN senior political commentator, New York

189
00:10:57,800 --> 00:10:59,959
Speaker 13: Times best selling author An America.

190
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 14: His favorite political pundit, Scott Jettings.

191
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 2: You know, I keep reading all these headlines and it's

192
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 2: good news in America that homicide rates have plummeted, And

193
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 2: then the sub headlines all say no one knows why,

194
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 2: And I thought to myself, how could we find out

195
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,679
Speaker 2: the answer to this question and here's the answer.

196
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 3: Joining us is Rafael Mangwall.

197
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 2: Roff is the Nick O'Nell Fellow at the Manhattan Institute.

198
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 2: He is a contributing editor at City Journal. He is

199
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 2: a member of the Council on Criminal Justice. He is

200
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 2: one of the nation's foremost experts on criminal justice and

201
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 2: crime statistics. Raff, Welcome back to the Scott Shetting Show.

202
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 12: Always good to be with you, Scott, Thanks so much

203
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 12: for having me on.

204
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 2: Thanks for coming in today. So there's a new report

205
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 2: from the Council on Criminal Justice that shows that data

206
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 2: collected from thirty five American cities showed a twenty one

207
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 2: decrease in the homicide rate from twenty twenty four to

208
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:09,079
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five. Carjackings, shoplifting, aggravated assaults are all down

209
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 2: as well.

210
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 3: Why is that.

211
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 2: We have a lot of media asking why or saying

212
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 2: they don't know why.

213
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 3: What's your view?

214
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 12: Well, I think there are a lot of reasons. I mean,

215
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 12: the one thing I always like to tell people is

216
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 12: to resist the temptation to nationalize conversations about crime. Crime,

217
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,959
Speaker 12: as we all know, is a very hyper local phenomenon.

218
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 12: It's something that you experience where you are when you're there.

219
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 12: It's not something that you experience in the aggregate, and

220
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 12: so we should resist explanations that sort of aggregate crime

221
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 12: as a whole. That said, I do think that there

222
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 12: are a bunch of things that are going on in

223
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:48,439
Speaker 12: the country, both policy and non policy related phenomenon that can,

224
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 12: I think, help explain why these numbers are moving in

225
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 12: the direction that they're moving, which, by the way, is

226
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 12: very very good news. On the non policy side, we've

227
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 12: had some major shifts throughout the country. We've seen a

228
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:03,959
Speaker 12: significant move towards suburbanization, so urban populations are declining in

229
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 12: a lot of parts of the country. We have seen

230
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 12: a pretty significant decline in alcohol consumption, which is generally

231
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:13,319
Speaker 12: associated with the commission of violent crime. We're seeing massive

232
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:17,079
Speaker 12: changes in routine activities, more work from home rates, more

233
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 12: time spent at home, more time spent in the gym

234
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 12: when you're outside of the home, as opposed to time

235
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 12: spent in bars and nightclubs, which tend to be low

236
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 12: gi of crime. And why that matters actually is because

237
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 12: the more time that we spend at home, the fewer

238
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 12: opportunities there are for criminals to victimize us. And so

239
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,079
Speaker 12: the raw numbers in a lot of these crime categories

240
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 12: no longer tell the same story, right, because we have

241
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 12: to now view them conditional on being in a place

242
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 12: where we might otherwise be victimized. And that's basically just

243
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 12: a nerdy way of saying that we need to control

244
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 12: for the amount of time that people are spending outside.

245
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 12: And then on the policy side, look, police departments around

246
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 12: the country have been reasserting themselves the last couple of years.

247
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 12: We're seeing arrest numbers go up, We're seeing stops go

248
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 12: up for the first time in over a decade. We

249
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 12: are seeing the prison population at the national level take upward.

250
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 12: We are seeing local jail populations take upward. Lots of

251
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 12: states in the wake of twenty twenty started to harden

252
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,719
Speaker 12: their criminal justice systems. A couple of examples or Louisiana,

253
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 12: Tennessee especially, I think, has been a national leader with

254
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 12: initiatives like truth and Sentencing and you know, bail reform

255
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 12: initiatives and you know, blended juvenile sentencing and you know,

256
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 12: basically making it so that it's easier to send bad

257
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 12: guys to jail. And the cops I think are kind

258
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 12: of you know, taking control back of the streets. When

259
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 12: you combine that with some of the things on the

260
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 12: non policy side, I think we can kind of get

261
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 12: to at least applausible explanation for why things are moving

262
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 12: in the direction that they're moving. And I just want

263
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 12: to say the reason that a lot of people on

264
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 12: the left like to say we don't know why it

265
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 12: is so that you know, they can discount the policing.

266
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's my question here.

267
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 2: A couple of things jumped out to me, and your

268
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 2: answer one, it sounds like our social habits, our cultural

269
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 2: habits are part of it, but they're obviously are policy

270
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 2: difference is you cited some states that have cracked down

271
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 2: increased policing. I assume it's your view that we're still

272
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 2: seeing a big difference between red states and blue states

273
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 2: when it comes to increase policing and increased incarceration rates

274
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 2: for people who commit violent crimes.

275
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 12: Oh yeah, I mean, look, I think states, like I said, Tennessee,

276
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 12: Louisiana have kind of really stood out in the national

277
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 12: picture of states that have moved pretty significantly to the

278
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 12: right in terms of their broader criminal justice policies. You know,

279
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 12: we've seen rollbacks of some of these parole reforms. We've

280
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 12: seen reintroductions of you know, three strikes measures and truth

281
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 12: and sentencing measures. These are all things I think that reflect,

282
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 12: you know, the sense that a lot of these places

283
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 12: has kind of just had it. But one of the

284
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 12: other things I think we need to realize is that

285
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 12: in a lot of blue cities, there have been some

286
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 12: significant changes. We have seen blue city DA's lose their seats.

287
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 12: In Oakland, California, you had Pamela Price successfully recalled and

288
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 12: replaced with Jones Dickinson. You had Nate pop Mak, Nate Hackman.

289
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 12: In Los Angeles, Iileen Berkle.

290
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 2: Some people turns out, turns out constituents out there don't

291
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 2: like don't like it when they can't go out on

292
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 2: their front porch without being murdered or Carjack Raff. I

293
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 2: love this conversation. I'm going to have you back soon.

294
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 2: Rafael mang Wall he's at the Manhattan Institute. Read him

295
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 2: in the City Journal. Raf thanks for joining us today.

296
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 2: We got to take a break when we come back.

297
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 2: Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin is here an important topic.

298
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 2: You don't want to miss it. Stay with us. Common

299
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 2: sense for the American people.

300
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 3: Hey, it's Scott listen.

301
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 11: When I prep for my CNN debates, I need to

302
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 11: know exactly where the national conversation is headed. And it

303
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 11: turns out it's helpful to know that in your everyday

304
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 11: life as well, and that's why I tried out free Spoke.

305
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 11: Now it's my go to place for search and for news.

306
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 11: When you use free Spoke, it's a search platform that

307
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 11: gives you the full story. You get information from the left,

308
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 11: you get it from the right, you get on mainstream,

309
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 11: you get independent journalists, you get podcasts, insights. What you

310
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 11: get from free spoke is the full story, all in

311
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 11: one place.

312
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 3: And here's the thing.

Speaker 2: It is Wednesday, January twenty eighth, Common sense for the

331
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 2: American people. Scott Jennings is here on Salem joining us.

332
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,880
Speaker 2: In just a moment, the Arkansas Attorney General, old friend

333
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 2: of mine, Tim Griffin, is going to tell us about

334
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:27,679
Speaker 2: gray zone warfare. This is a very interesting and vital conversation.

335
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 2: You're going to want to hear it. First, a word

336
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,679
Speaker 2: from our friends and partners at Child Help. Let me

337
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 2: tell you a story that our friends at child Help

338
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,880
Speaker 2: see far too often. Starts as a game, a kid

339
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 2: logging on after school, talking with friends, having fun. Then

340
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:47,159
Speaker 2: someone else joins the conversation. At first, nothing feels wrong, compliments,

341
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 2: curious questions, someone paying attention. But over time the messages

342
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:55,680
Speaker 2: become more personal, then private, then secret, and then uncomfortable.

343
00:18:56,200 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 2: That's how online grooming works, and that's where Child Help

344
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 2: steps in. They have life saving programs that focus on

345
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 2: prevention education, intervention, and treatment. They help kids recognize grooming

346
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,920
Speaker 2: behavior before it turns into abuse, and they help parents

347
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,719
Speaker 2: know what warning signs to look out for. Also, child

348
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 2: Help runs the National Child Abuse Hotline. I'm sure you've

349
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 2: heard about that. Thousands upon thousands of calls go into

350
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 2: this hotline. Child Help is the number one premier nonprofit

351
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 2: organization in America stopping child abuse, helping kids who are

352
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 2: in crisis, and for twenty seven dollars, you can help

353
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 2: protect one child from abuse.

354
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 3: Here's how to do it.

Speaker 2: can take it from me. It's an organization worth promoting.

363
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 2: It's Scott Jennings here on Salem. Let me ask you

364
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:12,159
Speaker 2: a question. Have you ever heard the phrase gray zone warfare? Now,

365
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 2: I'll be honest, I had not heard it until just

366
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:18,640
Speaker 2: recently when my friend, the Attorney General of Arkansas, Tim

367
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 2: Griffin mentioned it to me when we saw each other

368
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:24,160
Speaker 2: down in Little Rock, and as I learned about this,

369
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:30,160
Speaker 2: I thought, I've got to bring my listeners this incredible story.

370
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,360
Speaker 2: Let's start here with cut fourteen. This is Tim Griffin.

371
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 4: You may or may not know.

372
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 15: It's well documented that the fennel that's on the street

373
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 15: in the United States and manufactured south of the border,

374
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 15: primarily in Mexico, with ingredients shipped from mainland China.

375
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 4: And if you think that the.

376
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 15: Government of China is trying to stop that, you would

377
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 15: be wronged.

378
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 4: This fits into.

379
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 15: What I've talked about before, which is grayzone warfare, which

380
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:05,679
Speaker 15: is China is able to kill Americans and to disrupt

381
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 15: our societies and erode our social fabric without pulling a

382
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:15,439
Speaker 15: trick by doing things in our communities that degrade us as.

383
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 4: A society and destroy families.

384
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:19,159
Speaker 15: You may or.

385
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,959
Speaker 2: And joining us now military veteran and Arkansas Attorney General

386
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,640
Speaker 2: Tim Griffin, my friend, welcome into the Scott Chitting Show.

387
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 16: Thank you for having me.

388
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:34,160
Speaker 15: It was great to have you in Arkansas, and thanks

389
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:37,679
Speaker 15: for having me to talk about this really really important topic.

390
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, when you were discussing this with me down in

391
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,159
Speaker 2: Little Rock, the way you put it together.

392
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 3: I mean, it made a lot of sense to me.

393
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 2: And you're dealing with all these things going on in

394
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 2: our communities on a daily basis. Kind of give me

395
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 2: an overview. How did you get interested in this phrase

396
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,880
Speaker 2: gray zone warfare? And just give us an idea when

397
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 2: you're in Arkansas, how does it play out in local

398
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 2: communities there and what are you, as an attorney general

399
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 2: able to do about it?

400
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 7: Yeah.

401
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 15: So I've been in the military going on thirty years

402
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 15: in June twenty nine years in the reserve, one year

403
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 15: that was active duty.

404
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:13,360
Speaker 16: I'm now in the Guard.

405
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:21,679
Speaker 15: So the term greyzone warfare is extremely common in the

406
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 15: national security space. If you go to Google and you

407
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 15: search greyzone warfare, you will see more stuff than you

408
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:36,879
Speaker 15: can read. It's everywhere. It's well known if you're in

409
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 15: that world. If you're not in that world, you don't

410
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 15: hear the term greyzone warfare much at all.

411
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:51,719
Speaker 16: I have sought to change that. Why and what is so?

412
00:22:54,000 --> 00:23:00,080
Speaker 15: Grayzone warfare is basically warfare in the gray zone.

413
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 16: Between peace.

414
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 4: And full on kinetic.

415
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 15: Warfare that we normally think of when we think of warfare, Scott,

416
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 15: we think of bullets, we think of bombs, we think

417
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 15: of tanks, we think of fighters. So that's what we

418
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 15: call war. Everybody would agree on that, World War two,

419
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,640
Speaker 15: you name it. Right on the other side of that

420
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 15: is just complete peace. So in the middle of this

421
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 15: massive gray zone, and in the gray zone is where

422
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 15: a lot of our adversaries want to live. They don't

423
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:46,919
Speaker 15: want peace with us, they don't like us. They are

424
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:54,880
Speaker 15: enemy or adversary, but they can't engage in traditional warfare.

425
00:23:56,359 --> 00:24:00,119
Speaker 15: Some of them can't engage in traditional warfare yet.

426
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 16: Because they're not able. They would get they would lose.

427
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 15: So the gray zone is where a lot of conduct

428
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:18,879
Speaker 15: occurs that wouldn't necessarily qualify as traditional warfare, but it

429
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 15: hurts us and it gives our adversaries an advantage.

430
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 16: So let me give you some examples cyber attacks.

431
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 15: Now, when I'm talking about these examples, I'm not talking

432
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 15: about rogue, random kids on the couch. I'm talking about

433
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 15: engagement by foreign governments. Let's take the Chinese right, or

434
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 15: North Korea, whatever, engagement by foreign governments or at a minimum,

435
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:58,360
Speaker 15: foreign governments blessing encouraging fomenting that sort of activity. So

436
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 15: one would be cyber attack. We have cyber attacks that

437
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 15: disrupt shut down certain companies or certain power infrastructure. We

438
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 15: have cyber attacks that still information all of those sorts

439
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 15: of things, and oftentimes in the gray zone, the government

440
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 15: of a country, let's say China is the one engaged

441
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 15: in this. Now that does not typically that's not typically

442
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 15: characterize as full on war, right, But there is a

443
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 15: gradient spectrum. So if you attack them, if they attacked

444
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 15: us or one of our companies instole our information, would

445
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 15: that be war traditional war?

446
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,159
Speaker 16: Would that lead to bombs? Probably not?

447
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 7: Right?

448
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 15: Well, what if they shut down a bunch of hospitals

449
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 15: and no one dies?

450
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 16: Probably not.

451
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,199
Speaker 15: What if they shut down a bunch of hospitals and

452
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 15: many people die. You can see it's a gradient spectrum.

453
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 15: And the further the more damage is done in the

454
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 15: gray zone, the closer you get to war. Fentonel distribution

455
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 15: that kills Americans when it's intentional by the Chinese government,

456
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 15: which it is, And I could go into all that

457
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 15: that's well documented. Illicit massage parlors. I don't mean one

458
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 15: or two by local people. I'm talking about more Chinese

459
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 15: operated illicit massage parlors in this country. As we have McDonald's,

460
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,400
Speaker 15: we have as many as many as.

461
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 3: You're saying, there's as many of that as McDonald's.

462
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 15: Wow, as many as McDonald's. This is well documented. There's

463
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 15: a great group out of Virginia, the Network, and they

464
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:53,439
Speaker 15: track these we have so I used to think that

465
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:57,439
Speaker 15: these were sort of mom and pop criminals.

466
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 16: In local communities.

467
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 15: But what we found out over time at every single

468
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 15: one that we have rated illicit massage parlors, every single

469
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:13,159
Speaker 15: one of them has been Chinese tied wire transfers to

470
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 15: mainland China Chinese currency. Think about that Chinese currency in

471
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:26,199
Speaker 15: rural Arkansas, Okay. We have a guy, Gary Liu, that

472
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:30,440
Speaker 15: we caught with the US Marshalls over in Oklahoma. He's

473
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:34,119
Speaker 15: in a jail in Arkansas, ten million dollar bond.

474
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 16: He's a mid level human trafficker.

475
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:41,159
Speaker 15: These are all these are not what we think of

476
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 15: as traditional prostitution locally run. These are human trafficking operations

477
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:53,359
Speaker 15: in these massage parlors all over the country. So we've

478
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:58,640
Speaker 15: interviewed numerous witnesses and they basically say that they they're

479
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:04,920
Speaker 15: Chinese citizens who ladies, women and miners are often the

480
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 15: victims in these in these traffic trafficking ranks, but they

481
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:15,120
Speaker 15: respond to ads in China for work in the US.

482
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 15: They don't know what kind they come over. They're broad

483
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 15: in and then they are sent to particular areas and

484
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 15: then they're moved around. But they're basically sex slaves. And

485
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,360
Speaker 15: the bottom the general gist of that was they were

486
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 15: told to code to a certain place either on the

487
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 15: border with Mexico at Texas or California, and we asked them,

488
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 15: how did you get into the US. They walked across

489
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 15: the border and said asylum. And then they most of

490
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 15: them only speak Mandarin through interpreters, they knew where to say.

491
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 15: They needed to go, either Monterey Park, California, or Flushing,

492
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 15: New York. Those are the two main hubs. But this

493
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 15: has not happened and we have not found that it's

494
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 15: happened in the last year. This was all when the

495
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 15: border was not being secure.

496
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 3: Damn about it. We've got it. Yeah, yeah, we've got

497
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 3: about a minute to go.

498
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 2: I want to give you a chance to tell me,

499
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 2: as Attorney General what I mean. I'll be honest listening

500
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 2: to you talk about this, China seems to be more

501
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 2: of an interference in our day to day life, just

502
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 2: in average communities than most people would know. I mean,

503
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 2: is is that a big surprise when you took this

504
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 2: job as Attorney general when you got elected, were you

505
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 2: I mean, has this been a shock to you?

506
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 3: It is to me.

507
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 15: Well, I knew that they were working to undermine us

508
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 15: in our society. I did not know the number of

509
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 15: ways they were doing it in all of our backyards.

510
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 15: Here's the way to think of the gray zone. Think

511
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 15: of it as a hub, and there's all these spokes

512
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 15: of activity. So there's the fentanyl trade killing Americans. Normally

513
00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 15: war costs money. They're killing Americans and making money.

514
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 17: Right.

515
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 16: You have the illicit sexual massage.

516
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 15: You have the farm land that they're getting for strategic advantage.

517
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 16: You have the stealing of intellectual property.

518
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 15: We had a case with the Feds here where they

519
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 15: stole rice seed for the genetic makeup to.

520
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 16: Grow more at home.

521
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 15: We have the smuggling in of bio weapons, as you

522
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 15: saw from Wuhan a few months ago. The FEDS called somebody,

523
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 15: I think it was in Michigan. Each of the you

524
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 15: have cyber attacks, Each of these are spokes on the

525
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 15: gray zone hub. And if you think of it that way,

526
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 15: you see we are in a way.

527
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 2: Already in confide. Yeah, we're fighting them. That's Arkansas Attorney

528
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 2: General Tim Griffin. Thanks for these insights today. When we

529
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 2: come back, Marco Rubio's on Capitol Hill, stay.

530
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 13: With us conversation said stories you simply won't hear from

531
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 13: the mainstream media.

532
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 2: It's the scutch at a show rounding out the hour

533
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 2: here with Capitol Hill coverage. Secretary of State Marco Rubia

534
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 2: testified today he may still be there actually in front

535
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 2: of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Rubio again proving himself

536
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 2: to be the president's most able communicator, especially on world affairs.

537
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 2: The hearing was about Venezuela, Rubio laying out the importance

538
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 2: of taking out Maduro.

539
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 3: Here's cut seven.

540
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 18: Let me just say this, what is our goal going

541
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 18: in We had in our hemisphere a regime operated by

542
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 18: an indicted narco trafficker that became a base of operation

543
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 18: for virtually every competitor, adversary, and enemy in the world.

544
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 18: It was for Iran, their primary spot of operation in

545
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 18: the Western Hemisphere was Venezuela. For Russia, their primary base

546
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 18: of operation in the Western Hemisphere along Cuba and Nicaragua

547
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 18: was Venezuela. In the case of China, China was receiving

548
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 18: oil at a huge buck twenty dollars a barrel discount,

549
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 18: and what they weren't even paying money for it.

550
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 4: It was being used to pay down debt that they

551
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 4: were owed.

552
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 18: This is the oil of the people of Venezuela, and

553
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 18: it was being given to the Chinese as barter at

554
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 18: a twenty percent at a twenty dollars discount pervaro in

555
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 18: some cases. And so you had basically three of our

556
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 18: primary opponents in the world operating from our hemisphere. From

557
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 18: that spot, it was also a place where we had

558
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 18: a narco trafficking regime that openly cooperated with the FARC

559
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 18: and the ELN and other drag dug trafficking organizations using

560
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 18: their national territory.

561
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 4: It was an enormous.

562
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 18: Strategic risk for the United States, not halfway around the world,

563
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 18: not in another continent, but in the hemisphere in which

564
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 18: we all live, and it was having dramatic impacts on us,

565
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 18: but also on Columbia and on the Caribbean basin and

566
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 18: all sorts of other places. It was an untenable situation

567
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 18: and it had to be addressed, and it was addressed,

568
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 18: And now the question becomes what happens moving forward as

569
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 18: I've described to you in previous settings and in individual conversations,

570
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 18: we had three objectives here the final I'll work it

571
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 18: backwards because the end state here is we want to

572
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 18: reach a phase of transition where we are left with

573
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 18: a friendly, stable, prosperous Venezuela.

574
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 2: Marco Rubio running circles around the Democrats on the committee

575
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 2: today and making clear that our adversaries, the Russians, the Chinese,

576
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 2: and the Iranians all had a foothold in our hemisphere

577
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 2: because of Maduro. I want you to listen here to Rubio,

578
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 2: by the way, separate the good guys from the bad guys.

579
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 3: Here's cut twelve.

580
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 18: Owner gets complicated, I'll certainly let you know, but our

581
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 18: anticipation is that we're going to be able to continue

582
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 18: to work cooperatively with them because it's in their interest.

583
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 18: In hours, but I will point out to this, after

584
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 18: this operation happened, look at the people who criticized it,

585
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 18: and there were others China, Russia, Iran, Hamas. These are

586
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 18: the people that were upset about this strike and this

587
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 18: raid and what we did. And I can tell you

588
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 18: that in many countries in the Western hemisphere, there was

589
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 18: great pleasure in the fact that Maduro was removed and

590
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 18: that it didn't involve in all that war and innovation.

591
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 2: Rubio there responding to Democrats on the committee who were

592
00:33:55,600 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 2: harping on him today about Venezuela, and he pretty much

593
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 2: which made it clear criticizing the president on Venezuela today

594
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 2: meant joining up with China.

595
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 3: Russia, Iran and himas it was brilliant.

596
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 2: One final clip from Rubio, this is cut number nine,

597
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 2: about how Venezuela could return to being a prosperous nation.

598
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 18: The Iranian presence, the Chinese influence, the Russian presence as well.

599
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:22,879
Speaker 18: In fact, I would tell you that there are many

600
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 18: elements there in Venezuela that welcome or returned to establishing

601
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 18: relations to the United States on multiple fronts. We are

602
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 18: at the end talking about a western country that has

603
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:34,919
Speaker 18: a long history of cooperation and work with the United States.

604
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:37,279
Speaker 18: At one time, Venezuela preach obas was a very strong

605
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:39,840
Speaker 18: US ally and we hope to get back to that point.

606
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:40,439
Speaker 4: We're not there.

607
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:42,760
Speaker 18: This thing still is in his infancy, but I certainly

608
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:44,800
Speaker 18: think a lot of progresses have been made in that regard.

609
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 9: I was impressed with your description of the fact how

610
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 9: careful you were in there.

611
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:55,280
Speaker 2: Marco Rubio today testifying in front of the Senate Foreign

612
00:34:55,320 --> 00:35:00,040
Speaker 2: Relations Committee about Venezuela and once again showing why the

613
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,799
Speaker 2: President trust him so much and why the President's given

614
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:05,840
Speaker 2: him so many jobs. We're coming down to the last

615
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 2: few seconds here of our number one of the Scott

616
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 2: Jennings Show. We do have a little bit of breaking

617
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 2: news just into the show. According to this report, the

618
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 2: FBI is now executing a search warrant at a Fulton

619
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 2: County election office in Georgia related to the twenty twenty election.

620
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:28,840
Speaker 2: I don't have anything more than the headline at the moment,

621
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,880
Speaker 2: but again the news is the FBI is executing a

622
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:36,240

00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 2: the hour that we haven't discussed, the person who squirted

625
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 2: some kind of a substance on ilhan Omar at her

626
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 2: town hall meeting last night has been arrested, and it

627
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:55,320
Speaker 2: seems like the substance has been identified as apple cider

628
00:35:55,440 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 2: vinegar so ilhan Omar is unharmed by the apple cider

629
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 2: vinegar attack, but the substance has been identified. We'll take

630
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:06,840
Speaker 2: a break and we'll come back. It's more common sense

Speaker 1: federal law enforcement agents. Bondi says, we expect more arrests

645
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 1: to come. We'll keep an eye on this.

646
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:10,840

Speaker 2: Alabama Senator and gubernatorial candidate Tommy Tuberville joins us at

652
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:30,879
Speaker 2: the bottom of the hour thirty three minutes past the hour.

653
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 2: Let's start, however, with the news of the day. Here

654
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 2: in Washington, President Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Besson held

655
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 2: a big event today to promote the new Trump accounts

656
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 2: that were included in the Big Beautiful Bill last summer.

657
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 2: Trump Accounts our tax advantaged custodial style investment accounts for

658
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 2: children designed for long term wealth building. The US Treasury

659
00:37:56,000 --> 00:38:00,239
Speaker 2: provides a one thousand dollars seed deposit for babies born

660
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 2: between twenty twenty five and twenty twenty eight. You can

661
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:08,400
Speaker 2: do five thousand dollars in annual contributions until they turn eighteen.

662
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 2: The accounts can be opened in early twenty twenty six.

663
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:16,760
Speaker 2: President Trump himself touted the value of these accounts today.

664
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,279
Speaker 3: Let's hear cut eleven account.

665
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 17: Should reach at least fifty thousand dollars in value by

666
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 17: the time the child turns eighteen, and could be very

667
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:31,279
Speaker 17: substantially more than that with slightly greater contributions to the

668
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 17: typical account will grow to one hundred thousand, two hundred thousand,

669
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 17: and can even grow up to pass three hundred thousand

670
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:42,920
Speaker 17: dollars per child, and we think, most likely the most

671
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:46,920
Speaker 17: likely cases in the two hundred thousand three hundred thousand range,

672
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:50,279
Speaker 17: the size and scale of this wealth will do off

673
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:54,359
Speaker 17: All government programs ever created to benefit America's youth has

674
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:58,279
Speaker 17: never been anything like this. That's why everybody's talking about it.

675
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:01,920
Speaker 2: Even joining us on the line here at the Scott

676
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 2: Jennings Show is Joe Lavornia, economist and counselor to Treasury

677
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 2: Secretary Scott Bessett. You've heard Joe on here before talking

678
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:11,760
Speaker 2: about economic news.

679
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 3: Joe, welcome back to the show.

680
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:15,800
Speaker 7: Thanks for having me. Scott.

681
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, glad you're here, because this was a huge event.

682
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 2: I saw President Trump, I saw Scott Bessett, I saw

683
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:27,279
Speaker 2: Kevin O'Leary, mister wonderful, I saw NICKI minaj of all

684
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 2: people there today, and everybody was bringing attention to these

685
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 2: Trump accounts which are now active. So tell us how

686
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:37,040
Speaker 2: does this work? How do you get your kids signed

687
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 2: up for a Trump account?

688
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:39,280
Speaker 7: Yeah?

689
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:42,760
Speaker 19: Well, yeah, certainly the president knows how to brandon market

690
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 19: and I've gotten certainly a tremendous amount of press, and

691
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:48,359
Speaker 19: that was one of the reasons why we wanted to

692
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:50,920
Speaker 19: do the summit. And he's got a lot of companies

693
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 19: across all different industries, the white swath of large companies

694
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:55,840
Speaker 19: that are going to be partaking in this as well

695
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 19: more wealthy philanthropists and such.

696
00:39:58,680 --> 00:39:59,760
Speaker 7: So it's all great news.

697
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 19: Essentially. You can go to very simple you go to

698
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:07,440
Speaker 19: Trump Accounts dot gov and sign up there, or when

699
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:10,799
Speaker 19: you're filing your taxes for this year, you go to

700
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 19: Form forty five forty seven. You can sign up there

701
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 19: and the government will put the money in the account

702
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 19: around July fourth. You will choose a low cost index

703
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 19: fund that broadly mimics the broader market or some other

704
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 19: market based account. They'll have low costs, and we'll proxy

705
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 19: the US stock market, which has been an engine of

706
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 19: value creation or engine of wealth, as the President highlighted

707
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:44,759
Speaker 19: for decades, and that hopefully will likely be the case,

708
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:47,400
Speaker 19: especially President Trump's policies in place.

709
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 2: The kids that are eligible here have to be born

710
00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 2: between January first, twenty twenty five and twenty twenty eight.

711
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 3: Is that right?

712
00:40:58,200 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 20: That is correct?

713
00:40:59,080 --> 00:40:59,720
Speaker 7: That is correct?

714
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:03,919
Speaker 19: If you were born before twenty twenty five. You can

715
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:09,360
Speaker 19: still invest five thousand dollars tax free. You just won't

716
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 19: get the benefit of the one thousand seed investment or

717
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 19: seed countital that's the treasure will be making.

718
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 2: So I'll just give you my example. I have four

719
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:22,719
Speaker 2: kids sixteen, twelve, ten, and eight. You're saying they could

720
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 2: all get a Trump account and we could put five

721
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:29,799
Speaker 2: thousand dollars in the accounts. Correct, Okay, Well that's we'll

722
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 2: have to get the Jennings financial wizards on the line

723
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:36,200
Speaker 2: after the show today and get working on that. I

724
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 2: was I had been thinking this was just for these babies,

725
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:39,920
Speaker 2: and now everybody can do it.

726
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:43,239
Speaker 3: That's terrific. So tell us about the investments.

727
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 2: So these accounts get opened up and they're tied to

728
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 2: the performance of the stock market.

729
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:47,400
Speaker 3: How does that work?

730
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:48,759
Speaker 7: Right?

731
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:51,399
Speaker 4: So, I mean, I'm not sure.

732
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:54,279
Speaker 19: I haven't seen the you know, everything is there's still

733
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:57,479
Speaker 19: more details coming out, but essentially, you know, it would

734
00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 19: be like a like like an.

735
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:00,239
Speaker 7: F and P.

736
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 20: Five hundred that's in P.

737
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 19: Five hundred is a very familiar benchmarket covers, you know,

738
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:08,919
Speaker 19: the broad market. You know the five hundred I guess

739
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 19: best most important company, So to speak, you'd buy something

740
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:15,799
Speaker 19: that mimics that performance, so you get the exposure to

741
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 19: the stock market, but at a low cost.

742
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:20,080
Speaker 20: So the transaction.

743
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:23,720
Speaker 19: Fees are basically or the cost of maintaining that account

744
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:27,359
Speaker 19: are are deminimus. Because what we want to be able

745
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 19: to do is have young boys and girls have exposure

746
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:36,399
Speaker 19: to the stock market and the most efficient way that's

747
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:38,920
Speaker 19: most likely to capture the upside that the stock market

748
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:40,280
Speaker 19: historically has provided.

749
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 2: So when the kid turns eighteen years old, they get

750
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:47,360
Speaker 2: full access to this account. At that point, the money

751
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:49,720
Speaker 2: becomes theirs and they can do with it what they want.

752
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 20: That's correct.

753
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:53,920
Speaker 19: It almost kind of works, and they could keep it

754
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 19: in longer, which I would hope they would because they're

755
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:58,799
Speaker 19: going to have great returns and they they'll make more

756
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:00,839
Speaker 19: from compounding its low or they keep it in.

757
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:03,280
Speaker 20: But at that point, yes, at eighteen, it's theirs.

758
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:05,799
Speaker 19: It goes from the custodian ship from the parent to

759
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:09,520
Speaker 19: the child or the adult now and then it's effectively

760
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:12,799
Speaker 19: works as like an IRA in some sense, you'd be

761
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 19: taxed on the you know, on the on the money's

762
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:17,760
Speaker 19: made over that time if you were to take it out.

763
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 2: So you can leave it in though, so when the

764
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:22,400
Speaker 2: kid turns eighteen, that you can choose to just let

765
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:23,920
Speaker 2: it keep growing, is what you're saying.

766
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 19: That's exactly right, That's exactly right. And I think that

767
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:29,000
Speaker 19: you know, given you know that, you know there's a

768
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 19: huge in some sense imply financial literacy components of this,

769
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 19: because people are going to see their savings growing, and

770
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:36,719
Speaker 19: the longer they leave it in, the more it's going

771
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:39,400
Speaker 19: to grow. And hopefully they'll leave it for that exact

772
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:42,959
Speaker 19: reason and continue and continue to contribute during this time.

773
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:45,359
Speaker 19: And by the way, you can give up to five

774
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:48,520
Speaker 19: thousand annually and it doesn't have to just be you know,

775
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:50,719
Speaker 19: a parent or a guardian.

776
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:51,960
Speaker 7: Or family member.

777
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 19: It could be an employer.

778
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:54,319
Speaker 20: Employers are allowed to give.

779
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 19: Up to twenty five hundred dollars that doesn't count as

780
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:00,960
Speaker 19: employee income to the program as well.

781
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:02,920
Speaker 7: So you know, there's a lot of ways.

782
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 19: You could contribute and really build this in a meaningful

783
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 19: way so that when the time is up, whenever you

784
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:10,000
Speaker 19: decide to take it out, you have a substantial amount

785
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:12,719
Speaker 19: of savings. You really got financial security or is the

786
00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:15,280
Speaker 19: President highlighted earlier today, you know it's never.

787
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:15,760
Speaker 7: Been done before.

788
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:18,399
Speaker 19: This is going to be a real novel event that's

789
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 19: really going to help working class families. You know, a

790
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:23,640
Speaker 19: large percentage of which to this day don't have any

791
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:24,840
Speaker 19: stock market exposure.

792
00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:29,120
Speaker 2: So what you're saying is is that an employer could

793
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:33,719
Speaker 2: give a twenty five hundred dollars bonus to an employee

794
00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:35,920
Speaker 2: but give it to these Trump accounts for their kids,

795
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:38,880
Speaker 2: and that would not count as taxable income. That is

796
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:40,440
Speaker 2: a well, that is a great but you know, if

797
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:42,440
Speaker 2: you were trying to do something for your employees, that's

798
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 2: a great thing to do. Give twenty five hundred dollars

799
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:48,240
Speaker 2: to a kid's account. It doesn't count against you on taxes.

800
00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:50,279
Speaker 2: That that what a great benefit that would be if

801
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:51,840
Speaker 2: a business decided to do that.

802
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:55,680
Speaker 19: Yep, And that's why, you know, that's why so many

803
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:58,120
Speaker 19: of these companies now, just in the last day, even

804
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 19: today in America, I believe one of the latest saying

805
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:06,160
Speaker 19: they're going to partake in this program. Uh, I mean,

806
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:08,840
Speaker 19: it's hard, hard, what's not to like?

807
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:10,960
Speaker 20: That's a rhetorical question, of course.

808
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:14,520
Speaker 2: Scott, that's Joe Lavornia. I know that, sir. Thank you

Speaker 2: were uh rolling out these Trump accounts today. Sign up

815

Speaker 2: you back in the near future. I do want to

820
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:50,920
Speaker 2: give you some more news. This one is about aches

821
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 2: and pains. I want to share with you a comment

822
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 2: from a satisfied customer of relief Factor.

823
00:45:56,719 --> 00:45:57,520
Speaker 3: It's a drug.

824
00:45:57,280 --> 00:46:00,920
Speaker 21: Morn and I started taking relief Fact just about a

825
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:03,799
Speaker 21: year ago. I was having chronic knee pain. Over time,

826
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:07,080
Speaker 21: it just got worse and worse. Just walking downstairs was painful. Well,

827
00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:10,600
Speaker 21: since I've taken relief Factor, the results have been just amazing.

828
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:13,160
Speaker 21: I actually walk four miles a day, five to six

829
00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:16,880
Speaker 21: days a week, no pain at all going downstairs, very active,

830
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:20,960
Speaker 21: playing golf, and it's been really just unbelievable. And the

831
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:24,400
Speaker 21: change I've had in the pain in my knee. You know,

832
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:26,880
Speaker 21: I hope that someone who's experienced the same type of

833
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:31,440
Speaker 21: pain gives relief Factor a try, and I guarantee if

834
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:32,719
Speaker 21: you get the results that I.

835
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:34,840
Speaker 16: Have, you'll be very happy.

836
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:37,560
Speaker 21: I'm going to continue using the product because I am

837
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 21: now pain free.

838
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:43,840
Speaker 2: Brian from Alabama joins thousands of other people around the

839
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:47,960
Speaker 2: country and finding out that relief Factor can in fact

840
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:52,240
Speaker 2: change your life. My advice launch a three week quick start.

841
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:54,440
Speaker 2: See what relief Factor can do for you. Call what

842
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:56,880

Speaker 2: we come back, Jessica Schwab is here from the Free Beacon.

846
00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:07,160
Speaker 2: You want to hear her new report. Stay with us.

847
00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:12,720
Speaker 13: Finding the left with the best weapon we have common sense.

848
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:15,320
Speaker 14: This is the Scott Jennings Show.

849
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:22,560
Speaker 2: Wednesday, January twenty eighth. Scott Jennings here broadcasting live from Washington,

850
00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:26,240
Speaker 2: d C. We're looking back into the story about anti

851
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:30,480
Speaker 2: Semitism on college campuses and wouldn't you know it, Columbia

852
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:35,280
Speaker 2: University back in the news. The headline today Columbia vowed

853
00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:42,239
Speaker 2: to expel Kaimanni James, who fantasized about murdering Zionists, and

854
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 2: he could return this fall with this report.

855
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:46,000
Speaker 3: Joining us now.

856
00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:50,759
Speaker 2: Jessica Schwab, a reporter for the Washington Free Beacon. Jessica,

857
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 2: thanks for coming back to the Scott Jennings show.

858
00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:53,920
Speaker 3: Let's start with this.

859
00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:59,040
Speaker 2: Who is this character, Kaimanni James at Columbia University.

860
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:03,880
Speaker 10: Yeah, thank you Scott for having me. Kimani James was

861
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:09,320
Speaker 10: really the face of the anti Israel and what became

862
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:13,600
Speaker 10: the very overtly anti Semitic movement on Columbia's campus. He

863
00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:19,640
Speaker 10: I think really stood out because he was just so

864
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:26,200
Speaker 10: proud of his anti Semitic remarks and behavior, especially during

865
00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:31,360
Speaker 10: an incident that happened in April twenty twenty four where

866
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:33,560
Speaker 10: I actually happened to capture.

867
00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:34,560
Speaker 4: This on video.

868
00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:39,720
Speaker 10: I had walked into the encampments and within a minute

869
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:42,799
Speaker 10: he had accosted the few friends and I who had

870
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:45,840
Speaker 10: walked in just looking to observe we came in peace,

871
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:49,960
Speaker 10: and he rallied a mob of roughly two hundred people,

872
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:52,839
Speaker 10: all of these heads popped out of the tents on

873
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:55,200
Speaker 10: the campus squad and he said, we have Zionis on

874
00:48:55,239 --> 00:48:58,600
Speaker 10: the encampment. Let's form a human chains where I'm standing

875
00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:01,799
Speaker 10: so we can kick them out. And that's what the

876
00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:07,520
Speaker 10: group did. They followed him like a demagogue. And so

877
00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:11,839
Speaker 10: the fact that there is a possibility for him to

878
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:16,759
Speaker 10: rejoin the Columbia community in fall twenty twenty six is

879
00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:21,120
Speaker 10: a surprising opportunity that they would give this student who

880
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:26,960
Speaker 10: has demonstrated that he is not on campus to build

881
00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:30,480
Speaker 10: civil discourse, but most just to disrupt.

882
00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:35,600
Speaker 2: So who makes this decision at Columbia, Jessica, Is it

883
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:38,080
Speaker 2: lie with the president of the university. Is there a

884
00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:42,080
Speaker 2: dean who will ultimately make the call on bringing this

885
00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:42,719
Speaker 2: person back?

886
00:49:44,360 --> 00:49:49,440
Speaker 10: Yeah, so the admissions decision falled to the admissions committee

887
00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:53,319
Speaker 10: at Columbia. However, it seems in this case, which is

888
00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:59,320
Speaker 10: quite exceptional, that the president would have a final say

889
00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:03,000
Speaker 10: over this matter. That part is a bit unclear. However,

890
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:07,120
Speaker 10: now that Colombia has a new president, it seems that

891
00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:12,760
Speaker 10: the decision to allow him back onto campus would fall

892
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:16,440
Speaker 10: in her hands right around the time when she herself,

893
00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:21,400
Speaker 10: Jennifer Minuken is taking the reins of this in battled university.

894
00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:25,680
Speaker 2: Okay, according to your report, if they bring him back,

895
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:29,239
Speaker 2: it would go against what Columbia claimed when he was

896
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:33,120
Speaker 2: expelled and what they told Congress. There was a hearing

897
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:37,000
Speaker 2: of the House Committee on Education and Workforce chaired by

898
00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:42,400
Speaker 2: Representative Virginia Fox, and in September, the university president said

899
00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:46,000
Speaker 2: they made a direct statement that Kaimanni James would be

900
00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:50,120
Speaker 2: expelled for his anti Semitic rhetoric. So if the new

901
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:53,680
Speaker 2: president here at Columbia goes back on that, what are

902
00:50:53,719 --> 00:50:56,319
Speaker 2: the implications there about what they told Congress at that

903
00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:57,200
Speaker 2: particular hearing.

904
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:03,360
Speaker 10: Yeah, surprise me if maybe there might be another congressional hearing,

905
00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:07,799
Speaker 10: that's not out of the question in my mind. As

906
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:12,600
Speaker 10: they did tell Virginia Fox, they made a direct statement,

907
00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:15,920
Speaker 10: as you said, that this student would be expelled, and

908
00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:21,560
Speaker 10: clearly he wasn't. And so it's really an open question

909
00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:24,439
Speaker 10: as to how the university is going to respond to

910
00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:28,919
Speaker 10: his application should he apply for the fall twenty twenty

911
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:32,000
Speaker 10: sixth semester. They did reject his bid to re enroll

912
00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:37,279
Speaker 10: in the fall twenty twenty five semester, and so I'm

913
00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:40,480
Speaker 10: not sure how James intends to sort of clean up

914
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:44,440
Speaker 10: his act to make his application more appealing in the

915
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:46,720
Speaker 10: next many months.

916
00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:51,120
Speaker 2: But we'll see Jessica, I've got about thirty seconds. You've

917
00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:53,600
Speaker 2: been in and out of these encampments. You've covered this deeply.

918
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:56,960
Speaker 2: Did Jewish students feel safe as we talk today at

919
00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:59,759
Speaker 2: Columbia University?

920
00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:06,640
Speaker 10: I think that turmoil has clearly not gone away, but

921
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:11,040
Speaker 10: the university seems to have kept their radicals on a

922
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:17,319
Speaker 10: tighter leash. However, this new president, there's some questions left open,

923
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:22,200
Speaker 10: given that she struck a deal with her own campus's

924
00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:29,080
Speaker 10: Gaza solidarity encampment following the radicals occupation of this major

925
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:34,600
Speaker 10: campus nexus, and so we would like to see that

926
00:52:35,200 --> 00:52:39,720
Speaker 10: Jewish students have nothing to fear, especially with this person

927
00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:43,920
Speaker 10: possibly coming back. But yeah, I think there's a mixed

928
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:45,600
Speaker 10: feelings some campus.

929
00:52:45,239 --> 00:52:48,839
Speaker 2: Still still some open questions out there. Jessica Schwab read

930
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:51,759
Speaker 2: her reporting in The Free Bacon. It's common sense for

931
00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:56,879
Speaker 2: the American people, stay with us. Wednesday, January twenty eighth,

932
00:52:56,960 --> 00:53:00,480
Speaker 2: common sense for the American people. Scott Jennings, according to

933
00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:03,720
Speaker 2: You Live from Your Nation's Capital, breaking news into the show,

934
00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:07,120
Speaker 2: looks like the Fed says there will be no rate

935
00:53:07,239 --> 00:53:10,279
Speaker 2: cut today, rates staying at three and a half to

936
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:14,439
Speaker 2: three point seventy five percent. So that's just coming out

937
00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:18,280
Speaker 2: of the Federal Reserve. Rounding out the show today, big

938
00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:21,400
Speaker 2: honor for me to have on our next guest. He

939
00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:25,799
Speaker 2: is senator from Alabama. He is running for governor of Alabama,

940
00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:28,719
Speaker 2: and he's one of the most legendary football coaches in

941
00:53:28,760 --> 00:53:32,840
Speaker 2: American history. Coach Tommy Tubberville. Welcome to the Scott Jennings Show.

942
00:53:33,800 --> 00:53:35,319
Speaker 7: Thank you, Scott, thanks for having me on.

943
00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:37,960
Speaker 20: It's an honor and a privilege.

944
00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:39,560
Speaker 7: I love your work.

945
00:53:39,280 --> 00:53:42,799
Speaker 20: And I try to fashion myself after you about how

946
00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:45,799
Speaker 20: you can debate and get on of these people's skin

947
00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:48,120
Speaker 20: on the left. But at the end of the day,

948
00:53:48,160 --> 00:53:50,600
Speaker 20: we're all on the same team and hopefully we can

949
00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:51,879
Speaker 20: get this mess straightened out.

950
00:53:53,080 --> 00:53:55,879
Speaker 2: Well, I'm glad, I'm honored by your compliments, sir, and

951
00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:58,480
Speaker 2: I'm glad to have you on this momentous day. We

952
00:53:58,520 --> 00:54:01,480
Speaker 2: have breaking news that I think you are uniquely qualified

953
00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:05,799
Speaker 2: to comment upon. How is it that Bill Belichick was

954
00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:08,719
Speaker 2: snubbed by the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Everybody I

955
00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:11,040
Speaker 2: know is going crazy about this. What's going on with

956
00:54:11,120 --> 00:54:14,400
Speaker 2: these guys? Bill Belichick? Six Super Bowls? What do you

957
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:14,920
Speaker 2: make of it?

958
00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:20,040
Speaker 20: Yeah, it's just it's just the sign of times. You know,

959
00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:21,759
Speaker 20: at the end of the day, one of the better

960
00:54:21,840 --> 00:54:26,319
Speaker 20: coaches ever. And you don't judge people on what they

961
00:54:26,320 --> 00:54:28,480
Speaker 20: are today. You judge them on what they what they

962
00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:31,000
Speaker 20: did while they were NFL and had a lot of

963
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:32,719
Speaker 20: people look at you know, probably the.

964
00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:35,080
Speaker 7: Last year his girlfriend.

965
00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:38,160
Speaker 20: And and you know, not a very good year at

966
00:54:38,360 --> 00:54:39,160
Speaker 20: North Carolina.

967
00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:41,880
Speaker 7: But a guy that wins all those.

968
00:54:41,719 --> 00:54:48,799
Speaker 20: Super Bowls and again he has made so many record books.

969
00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:51,880
Speaker 20: It's it's a disgrace. And the people that are on

970
00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:54,240
Speaker 20: that committee that did not vote for him should step

971
00:54:54,320 --> 00:54:57,439
Speaker 20: down immediately because they have no business being owned there.

972
00:54:57,640 --> 00:55:01,360
Speaker 20: It's just I hated for him, but I hate it

973
00:55:01,400 --> 00:55:03,600
Speaker 20: for the NFL our. NFL is in a tail spend

974
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:05,520
Speaker 20: and they hadn't been a tail spend for twenty years

975
00:55:05,560 --> 00:55:08,319
Speaker 20: since Colin Kaepernick took a knee and in all this

976
00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:12,719
Speaker 20: woke nonsense and now you I don't call this a

977
00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:15,560
Speaker 20: Super Bowl with this rabbit or the money guy or

978
00:55:15,560 --> 00:55:16,760
Speaker 20: whatever he is at halftime.

979
00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:17,640
Speaker 7: I call it.

980
00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:20,120
Speaker 20: I call it the woke Bowl. And that's what it's

981
00:55:20,120 --> 00:55:23,080
Speaker 20: turning in to be. It's you know, it's just it's

982
00:55:23,080 --> 00:55:27,320
Speaker 20: all about money and getting out there and not representing

983
00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:31,640
Speaker 20: our country. It is representing themselves and showing how great

984
00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:35,160
Speaker 20: they are. You know, it's it's sad how we've let

985
00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:36,560
Speaker 20: team sports get to this part.

986
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:39,960
Speaker 2: Coach Dubberville, what do you make of college football and

987
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:44,280
Speaker 2: college athletics today with the advent of paying the players

988
00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:47,719
Speaker 2: with gambling now we had a big round of indictments

989
00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:51,200
Speaker 2: on college betting the other day. What's your overall view

990
00:55:51,239 --> 00:55:54,200
Speaker 2: of how college athletics is working in this country? And

991
00:55:54,239 --> 00:55:56,600
Speaker 2: does Congress need to step in on any of these issues?

992
00:55:57,160 --> 00:55:58,640
Speaker 7: Oh? Big time. It's a disaster.

993
00:55:59,239 --> 00:56:02,200
Speaker 20: I've had a bill that Joe Manchin I came up

994
00:56:02,239 --> 00:56:05,359
Speaker 20: with a few years ago, and Schumer wanted to put

995
00:56:05,719 --> 00:56:08,240
Speaker 20: unionization in it and wouldn't put it on the floor.

996
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:11,840
Speaker 20: But it's a disaster. There's no leadership we you know,

997
00:56:11,880 --> 00:56:18,239
Speaker 20: the NCAA they decided after their five hundred lawsuit, they

998
00:56:18,280 --> 00:56:20,560
Speaker 20: said we're out of this mess. There's no way we

999
00:56:20,680 --> 00:56:25,719
Speaker 20: can regulate this, and really they were probably right. But

1000
00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:31,080
Speaker 20: what we've done is we've almost destroyed women's sports, Olympic sports,

1001
00:56:31,719 --> 00:56:34,960
Speaker 20: and the sports that people really love college basketball, men

1002
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:39,200
Speaker 20: and women and football, college football. It's a disaster and

1003
00:56:39,239 --> 00:56:42,200
Speaker 20: it's gonna get worse before it gets better. I don't

1004
00:56:42,239 --> 00:56:47,000
Speaker 20: know the answer to it. I cannot stand the attitude

1005
00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:49,680
Speaker 20: of there's no education to it anymore. You have kids

1006
00:56:49,719 --> 00:56:52,799
Speaker 20: that are transferring every year, and if you transfer one time,

1007
00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:54,640
Speaker 20: you're very lucky to be able to get a degree.

1008
00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:57,120
Speaker 20: But it's just Scott, it's just off the deep end.

1009
00:56:57,160 --> 00:57:01,040
Speaker 20: It's kind of like the country we lost. There's no

1010
00:57:01,120 --> 00:57:05,400
Speaker 20: basics anymore. And again, we've got to stand up to

1011
00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:08,399
Speaker 20: the people that say, hey, we want all this money.

1012
00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:10,160
Speaker 20: He say, listen, this is not about money. This is

1013
00:57:10,160 --> 00:57:13,000
Speaker 20: about education. I don't mind him making money, but don't

1014
00:57:13,040 --> 00:57:17,080
Speaker 20: destroy education from thousands and thousands of other people.

1015
00:57:18,120 --> 00:57:18,320
Speaker 7: Yeah.

1016
00:57:18,320 --> 00:57:20,760
Speaker 3: I was watching a press conference. I forget the kid's.

1017
00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:23,400
Speaker 2: Name, but you know they asked him about it was

1018
00:57:23,520 --> 00:57:25,720
Speaker 2: after one of the games that asked him about how

1019
00:57:25,760 --> 00:57:28,880
Speaker 2: things were going at school with all the football preparation.

1020
00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:30,680
Speaker 3: He said, oh, I graduated two years ago.

1021
00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:34,680
Speaker 2: I mean, honestly, this is like college athletics and we've

1022
00:57:34,680 --> 00:57:36,800
Speaker 2: got somebody that hasn't been in class in two years.

1023
00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:37,720
Speaker 3: It's a little strange.

1024
00:57:38,520 --> 00:57:41,440
Speaker 20: Yeah, no education to it, Scott. And I've talked to

1025
00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:44,000
Speaker 20: the president about it. I hope we can get him

1026
00:57:44,080 --> 00:57:47,040
Speaker 20: to do something in terms of an executive order. That's

1027
00:57:47,040 --> 00:57:48,680
Speaker 20: the only way we can get anything done around here

1028
00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:51,600
Speaker 20: because Republicans we have the House, the Senate, and the

1029
00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:54,400
Speaker 20: White House, but we can't pass a bill because we

1030
00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:57,400
Speaker 20: have rhinos on the Republican side, we have people that

1031
00:57:57,440 --> 00:57:59,440
Speaker 20: don't want to stand up to the Democrats. It's just

1032
00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:02,880
Speaker 20: this one thing after another. When we've got all the

1033
00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:05,120
Speaker 20: power and we can't get a damn thing done up

1034
00:58:05,160 --> 00:58:07,680
Speaker 20: here because nobody wants to stand up for what's right.

1035
00:58:07,760 --> 00:58:09,560
Speaker 20: It just makes me sick at my stomach.

1036
00:58:10,400 --> 00:58:13,920
Speaker 2: Senator, is that why you're leaving Washington and running for governor?

1037
00:58:13,920 --> 00:58:16,440
Speaker 3: Are you sort of just tired of banging your head

1038
00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:18,720
Speaker 3: against the wall in Washington? You think you can get

1039
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:20,040
Speaker 3: more done in Alabama.

1040
00:58:20,760 --> 00:58:22,640
Speaker 20: Yeah, you know I looked at it, Scott, for a year.

1041
00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:25,200
Speaker 20: About this time last year, I decided, I was, you know,

1042
00:58:25,240 --> 00:58:27,680
Speaker 20: it's time to go back to Alabama. You know, I

1043
00:58:27,720 --> 00:58:30,080
Speaker 20: looked at being because I'd only do it for six

1044
00:58:30,120 --> 00:58:30,840
Speaker 20: more years up here.

1045
00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:31,640
Speaker 7: What can I get done?

1046
00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:33,680
Speaker 20: You've got to be way up the totem pole on

1047
00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:37,120
Speaker 20: seniority here. It's not about merit, it's about seniority. And

1048
00:58:37,120 --> 00:58:39,480
Speaker 20: that's one thing that I dislike about the Senate. I

1049
00:58:39,520 --> 00:58:41,880
Speaker 20: don't know why we don't do things on merit, and

1050
00:58:41,920 --> 00:58:44,400
Speaker 20: we should do that all over the country. But I

1051
00:58:44,440 --> 00:58:47,280
Speaker 20: looked at the governor's race and I talked to the

1052
00:58:47,280 --> 00:58:49,440
Speaker 20: President about it, and you know, he's sending more power

1053
00:58:49,480 --> 00:58:51,320
Speaker 20: and the money back to the states and given the

1054
00:58:51,320 --> 00:58:54,600
Speaker 20: states more leeway of how you want to run your

1055
00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:56,800
Speaker 20: own state. And I told the President that and he

1056
00:58:56,880 --> 00:58:59,880
Speaker 20: agreed with me that you know, it's if you want

1057
00:58:59,880 --> 00:59:02,600
Speaker 20: to do that, you know, you know you'll you'll do

1058
00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:05,320
Speaker 20: good at it because you've put things together, You've made

1059
00:59:05,360 --> 00:59:08,600
Speaker 20: tough decisions. It's like you're running a big business, meaning

1060
00:59:08,600 --> 00:59:11,080
Speaker 20: in college football. And so yeah, I can get more

1061
00:59:11,120 --> 00:59:13,680
Speaker 20: done back in the state of Alabama as governor. H

1062
00:59:14,320 --> 00:59:17,600
Speaker 20: And again, it's just unfortunate up here, you know, when

1063
00:59:17,640 --> 00:59:19,720
Speaker 20: you're lowing the poll like I am and and a

1064
00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:22,960
Speaker 20: lot of other people, you have no say.

1065
00:59:23,960 --> 00:59:24,400
Speaker 3: One of the.

1066
00:59:24,360 --> 00:59:27,200
Speaker 2: Bills that a lot of conservatives right now are really

1067
00:59:27,240 --> 00:59:30,280
Speaker 2: hoping gets some momentum is the Save Act. You've been

1068
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:33,560
Speaker 2: a longtime supporter of the Save Act. Tell us about

1069
00:59:33,600 --> 00:59:35,760
Speaker 2: the Save Act and what that would do for American

1070
00:59:35,760 --> 00:59:36,680
Speaker 2: election security.

1071
00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:42,200
Speaker 20: If we don't make our elections to where people trust

1072
00:59:42,240 --> 00:59:45,800
Speaker 20: them this country's over. And I think that had a

1073
00:59:45,800 --> 00:59:48,480
Speaker 20: lot to do when President went into Venezuela. A lot

1074
00:59:48,560 --> 00:59:50,560
Speaker 20: of other things, but one was that's where all the

1075
00:59:50,600 --> 00:59:55,520
Speaker 20: dominion voting machines and all the tech groups for running

1076
00:59:55,520 --> 00:59:58,320
Speaker 20: those machines out of Venezuela, and he's trying to get

1077
00:59:58,360 --> 01:00:00,880
Speaker 20: to the bottom of that. We need one day voting,

1078
01:00:01,520 --> 01:00:05,400
Speaker 20: we need paper ballots, and we need voter ID and

1079
01:00:05,440 --> 01:00:08,720
Speaker 20: if we don't get that before next November, we'll probably

1080
01:00:08,800 --> 01:00:13,160
Speaker 20: lose House, maybe even the Senate, and then heaven forbid

1081
01:00:13,200 --> 01:00:15,000
Speaker 20: what will happen in two years after that for the

1082
01:00:15,040 --> 01:00:18,920
Speaker 20: presidential race. But we as Republicans, Scott could stand up

1083
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:22,240
Speaker 20: today and put it on the floor, and if they

1084
01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:26,080
Speaker 20: voted it down, we say, Okay, enough's enough. We're busting

1085
01:00:26,080 --> 01:00:29,160
Speaker 20: the filibuster and we're gonna vote this send because if

1086
01:00:29,160 --> 01:00:32,680
Speaker 20: we don't have rules and regulations going into this this

1087
01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:34,280
Speaker 20: section cycle.

1088
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:37,920
Speaker 7: Coming up, they're gonna feed us. They're gonna let illegals.

1089
01:00:37,520 --> 01:00:41,600
Speaker 20: Vote, they're gonna miscount the ballots, they're gonna have voting

1090
01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:44,360
Speaker 20: machines that are that are off the sharks in terms

1091
01:00:44,360 --> 01:00:46,560
Speaker 20: of giving votes, just like they.

1092
01:00:46,440 --> 01:00:47,400
Speaker 7: Did in twenty twenty.

1093
01:00:47,600 --> 01:00:51,080
Speaker 20: That was an embarrassment to people in this country that

1094
01:00:51,280 --> 01:00:54,360
Speaker 20: want fair elections. When Joe Biden, they said he got

1095
01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:56,200
Speaker 20: eighty million votes. There you couldn't mean.

1096
01:00:56,240 --> 01:00:58,280
Speaker 7: That guy couldn't get forty million votes.

1097
01:00:58,600 --> 01:01:01,160
Speaker 20: And it's it's just that, you know, we're to the

1098
01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:03,960
Speaker 20: point now where it's either to do something about it,

1099
01:01:04,480 --> 01:01:06,840
Speaker 20: shut the heck up, and just let the Democrats run

1100
01:01:06,920 --> 01:01:10,080
Speaker 20: this country into the ground and give communism to the

1101
01:01:10,080 --> 01:01:12,000
Speaker 20: American people, because that's what's going to happen.

1102
01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:16,360
Speaker 2: What's your radar tell you about the future of the

1103
01:01:16,400 --> 01:01:16,919
Speaker 2: Save Act?

1104
01:01:16,920 --> 01:01:18,600
Speaker 3: Do you think it will come to the floor.

1105
01:01:18,640 --> 01:01:20,439
Speaker 2: I know there's a few Republicans that have said they've

1106
01:01:20,440 --> 01:01:22,720
Speaker 2: had some issues with it. I mean, do you think

1107
01:01:22,720 --> 01:01:25,240
Speaker 2: you'll get to a place where the entire conference at

1108
01:01:25,320 --> 01:01:26,680
Speaker 2: least could support the Save Act?

1109
01:01:28,320 --> 01:01:31,880
Speaker 20: I would hope, but that would only be fifty three votes.

1110
01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:35,040
Speaker 7: We'd probably lose one or two. We always do because

1111
01:01:35,080 --> 01:01:36,320
Speaker 7: they don't trust President.

1112
01:01:36,080 --> 01:01:39,080
Speaker 20: Trump anything that makes sense.

1113
01:01:39,160 --> 01:01:41,360
Speaker 7: Up here. We have people vote with the Democrats and

1114
01:01:41,360 --> 01:01:42,160
Speaker 7: they go the other way.

1115
01:01:42,240 --> 01:01:47,760
Speaker 20: But that's just the way it is. And heaven forbid.

1116
01:01:47,840 --> 01:01:51,680
Speaker 20: Like I said, we've got what months to get this done,

1117
01:01:52,560 --> 01:01:55,760
Speaker 20: and they're getting ready to shut the government down, and

1118
01:01:55,840 --> 01:01:57,600
Speaker 20: we don't have enough nerve to say, listen, you won't

1119
01:01:57,640 --> 01:01:58,960
Speaker 20: shut it down. Shut it down, But we're going to

1120
01:01:59,040 --> 01:02:02,080
Speaker 20: vote our fifty three vot We need seventy y'all to

1121
01:02:02,200 --> 01:02:05,680
Speaker 20: vote with us to pass these bills.

1122
01:02:05,560 --> 01:02:07,840
Speaker 7: To not shut the government down. Well, we're scared to

1123
01:02:07,920 --> 01:02:08,520
Speaker 7: death of them.

1124
01:02:09,480 --> 01:02:12,600
Speaker 20: We have got to stand up to these people that

1125
01:02:12,760 --> 01:02:15,080
Speaker 20: want to change their country into something and it's not,

1126
01:02:15,160 --> 01:02:16,080
Speaker 20: which is communism.

1127
01:02:17,080 --> 01:02:19,040
Speaker 2: Well, they want to shut the government down. It sounds

1128
01:02:19,120 --> 01:02:22,680
Speaker 2: like over illegal immigration. And it's crazy to me how

1129
01:02:22,720 --> 01:02:27,280
Speaker 2: the Democratic Party has made illegal immigrant populations all over

1130
01:02:27,320 --> 01:02:30,480
Speaker 2: this country their number one constituency. Is it your prediction

1131
01:02:30,560 --> 01:02:32,520
Speaker 2: that we are going to see a shutdown? What do

1132
01:02:32,520 --> 01:02:33,800
Speaker 2: you think is going to happen here.

1133
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:36,360
Speaker 7: Today?

1134
01:02:36,440 --> 01:02:40,680
Speaker 20: Unless we take the Homeland security out of this bill,

1135
01:02:40,960 --> 01:02:43,320
Speaker 20: which it doesn't make any difference, It doesn't make any sense.

1136
01:02:43,360 --> 01:02:46,840
Speaker 20: This is how stupid the Democrats are. There is funding

1137
01:02:46,840 --> 01:02:50,120
Speaker 20: for DHS in this bill, but DHS is already funded

1138
01:02:50,160 --> 01:02:51,920
Speaker 20: for four years because we did that in the big

1139
01:02:51,960 --> 01:02:56,400
Speaker 20: beautiful bill almost ninety billion dollars, So that's really off

1140
01:02:56,400 --> 01:02:58,880
Speaker 20: the table. What they would if they shut it down,

1141
01:02:58,880 --> 01:03:02,000
Speaker 20: they would shut down the TA. They was shut down

1142
01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:06,200
Speaker 20: the Coastguard, and they was shut down paying the military,

1143
01:03:07,400 --> 01:03:11,480
Speaker 20: and so it makes no sense that they would be

1144
01:03:11,920 --> 01:03:16,400
Speaker 20: defunding the people that we absolutely need to defend this country.

1145
01:03:16,920 --> 01:03:22,520
Speaker 20: But they're so stupid that they think that that we're

1146
01:03:22,560 --> 01:03:23,600
Speaker 20: not going to shut it down.

1147
01:03:23,920 --> 01:03:25,920
Speaker 7: But they might not be stupid.

1148
01:03:26,440 --> 01:03:28,479
Speaker 20: We might let them do it and shut it down

1149
01:03:28,560 --> 01:03:30,560
Speaker 20: and our vote along with them and.

1150
01:03:31,480 --> 01:03:32,439
Speaker 7: Give them what they want.

1151
01:03:32,440 --> 01:03:34,120
Speaker 20: But I wouldn't give them a damn inch because I'd

1152
01:03:34,160 --> 01:03:36,600
Speaker 20: say what they don't give us one thing, or didn't

1153
01:03:36,640 --> 01:03:39,160
Speaker 20: in four years that they were in charge. While I

1154
01:03:39,240 --> 01:03:41,880
Speaker 20: was here under Joe Biden, they looked at us and

1155
01:03:42,040 --> 01:03:45,360
Speaker 20: laughed at us, and we had Republicans vote with them.

1156
01:03:45,800 --> 01:03:48,520
Speaker 20: It just makes no sense. We have got to stand

1157
01:03:48,600 --> 01:03:50,200
Speaker 20: up now or this country.

1158
01:03:49,920 --> 01:03:52,440
Speaker 7: Is going to be gone.

1159
01:03:52,480 --> 01:03:55,440
Speaker 2: Senator Tubberville, one last question for you. I'm sure you're

1160
01:03:55,480 --> 01:03:59,120
Speaker 2: watching all of this unfolding nonsense in Minneapolis. What do

1161
01:03:59,160 --> 01:04:02,600
Speaker 2: you make of these Democrats up there who simply have

1162
01:04:02,720 --> 01:04:07,360
Speaker 2: decided they want to nullify federal immigration laws in their jurisdiction.

1163
01:04:07,680 --> 01:04:12,320
Speaker 20: When they're stealing our taxpayers blind, they are deep frauding.

1164
01:04:12,720 --> 01:04:14,840
Speaker 20: Are the taxpayers in this country stealing?

1165
01:04:14,920 --> 01:04:17,160
Speaker 7: Right and the left? That's what this is all about

1166
01:04:17,320 --> 01:04:18,040
Speaker 7: is a cover up.

1167
01:04:17,960 --> 01:04:20,120
Speaker 20: From the from the state government, to the city government,

1168
01:04:20,160 --> 01:04:21,040
Speaker 20: to the county government.

1169
01:04:21,080 --> 01:04:22,040
Speaker 7: They're all in on it.

1170
01:04:22,840 --> 01:04:28,040
Speaker 20: And they've got this lady what Elianne Omar congressman up

1171
01:04:28,080 --> 01:04:30,640
Speaker 20: there from a third world country who probably should be

1172
01:04:30,720 --> 01:04:35,360
Speaker 20: in jail because she falsified whatever to become a citizen.

1173
01:04:35,880 --> 01:04:37,440
Speaker 7: And then how about.

1174
01:04:37,200 --> 01:04:39,400
Speaker 20: That this morning where it looks like that World War

1175
01:04:39,440 --> 01:04:41,760
Speaker 20: II wrestling. You know, this guy sitting on the front

1176
01:04:41,840 --> 01:04:43,880
Speaker 20: row and he runs to the side like he's going.

1177
01:04:43,800 --> 01:04:45,120
Speaker 7: To touch but he doesn't go at her.

1178
01:04:45,720 --> 01:04:49,200
Speaker 20: He runs to the side and sprays what apple cider, Senator,

1179
01:04:49,360 --> 01:04:51,240
Speaker 20: the vinegar or something like that.

1180
01:04:51,600 --> 01:04:56,280
Speaker 7: It looked like wrestling. So Scott, I'll tell you what.

1181
01:04:56,400 --> 01:05:00,000
Speaker 20: It just disheartening to see our country go this direct

1182
01:05:00,480 --> 01:05:02,840
Speaker 20: when we need more and more people that will stand

1183
01:05:02,920 --> 01:05:06,400
Speaker 20: up to the communist socialists of this country and say

1184
01:05:07,240 --> 01:05:09,360
Speaker 20: you're not We're going to close our borders. President Thank

1185
01:05:09,400 --> 01:05:11,840
Speaker 20: god President Trump did that. We got to get these

1186
01:05:11,840 --> 01:05:13,760
Speaker 20: people out of here. Ninety eight percent of the country

1187
01:05:13,840 --> 01:05:17,280
Speaker 20: is going by the rule of law, but except for Minnesota,

1188
01:05:17,240 --> 01:05:19,400
Speaker 20: and what do they have in common? They are steers

1189
01:05:19,760 --> 01:05:23,240
Speaker 20: stealing the tax ers, blind stealing that is.

1190
01:05:23,680 --> 01:05:26,880
Speaker 2: That is Senator Tommy Tuberville of Alabama. More with him

1191
01:05:26,920 --> 01:05:28,920
Speaker 2: on his run for governor when we come back, it's

1192
01:05:28,960 --> 01:05:31,160
Speaker 2: common sense for the American people stay with.

1193
01:05:31,120 --> 01:05:35,360
Speaker 13: Us, straight talking, without the bluster, when you positively need

1194
01:05:35,360 --> 01:05:35,840
Speaker 13: the truth.

1195
01:05:36,320 --> 01:05:39,120
Speaker 14: This is where you come, Discutch any show.

1196
01:05:40,080 --> 01:05:43,360
Speaker 2: Home stretch here on Wednesday, January twenty eighth on the

1197
01:05:43,360 --> 01:05:48,440
Speaker 2: line with US coach. Senator and I think soon to

1198
01:05:48,480 --> 01:05:52,480
Speaker 2: be governor of Alabama, Tommy Tuberville is with US coach.

1199
01:05:52,560 --> 01:05:54,720
Speaker 2: Thanks for hanging on the line with us here. I

1200
01:05:54,800 --> 01:05:56,280
Speaker 2: want to talk a little bit about your run for

1201
01:05:56,360 --> 01:05:59,560
Speaker 2: governor of Alabama and here what your platform is. I

1202
01:05:59,560 --> 01:06:01,680
Speaker 2: do want to start with a question about taxes. You

1203
01:06:01,720 --> 01:06:05,840
Speaker 2: know a lot of red states have dramatically cut state

1204
01:06:05,920 --> 01:06:09,560
Speaker 2: income taxes or even phase them out altogether. Is that

1205
01:06:09,680 --> 01:06:12,400
Speaker 2: something that you are looking at if you become governor

1206
01:06:12,440 --> 01:06:15,360
Speaker 2: of Alabama major reductions in taxes on your people.

1207
01:06:16,360 --> 01:06:20,360
Speaker 20: Well that's a good point, Scott. And what is President

1208
01:06:20,440 --> 01:06:23,920
Speaker 20: Trump's agenda? Number one agenda is to grow this country

1209
01:06:24,440 --> 01:06:27,840
Speaker 20: and to do that, we have to bring manufacturing back. Now,

1210
01:06:27,880 --> 01:06:30,439
Speaker 20: there's not a day goes by or a week goes

1211
01:06:30,480 --> 01:06:32,720
Speaker 20: by up here in the Senate. I don't have manufacturing

1212
01:06:32,760 --> 01:06:35,080
Speaker 20: companies come to me from either the United States or

1213
01:06:35,120 --> 01:06:37,960
Speaker 20: from overseas and coach we want to move to Alabama.

1214
01:06:39,040 --> 01:06:41,160
Speaker 20: We know they're going to some of these other senators

1215
01:06:41,160 --> 01:06:43,560
Speaker 20: and doing the same thing in the local states, whether

1216
01:06:43,560 --> 01:06:47,200
Speaker 20: it's Florida or Georgia or Mississippi or Tennessee. Yes, we

1217
01:06:47,360 --> 01:06:49,880
Speaker 20: have to be able to compete to do that when

1218
01:06:49,920 --> 01:06:53,120
Speaker 20: other people Mississippi just started dropping their state income tax.

1219
01:06:53,440 --> 01:06:55,320
Speaker 7: They don't have state income tax in Florida.

1220
01:06:57,240 --> 01:06:59,320
Speaker 20: So in the future, we've got to look at some

1221
01:06:59,360 --> 01:07:03,840
Speaker 20: possible ways keep our tax base but also lord it

1222
01:07:03,880 --> 01:07:07,080
Speaker 20: to where we can encourage these businesses to come in

1223
01:07:07,320 --> 01:07:10,720
Speaker 20: with these high paying jobs. And so we'll look at

1224
01:07:10,760 --> 01:07:13,200
Speaker 20: all avenues. I'm not big on property tax, to be

1225
01:07:13,240 --> 01:07:17,080
Speaker 20: honest with you. Why and I've listened to Ron Desentis

1226
01:07:17,120 --> 01:07:19,720
Speaker 20: about this and formant. Why don't you have somebody buy

1227
01:07:19,760 --> 01:07:22,960
Speaker 20: the home and you never really own it because you've

1228
01:07:22,960 --> 01:07:26,240
Speaker 20: got to continue to pay to own it to either

1229
01:07:26,280 --> 01:07:29,480
Speaker 20: the state or the city or the county. And it

1230
01:07:29,640 --> 01:07:31,840
Speaker 20: just makes no sense to me. Now, I can understand

1231
01:07:31,840 --> 01:07:33,600
Speaker 20: people that have two or three homes that live in

1232
01:07:33,600 --> 01:07:36,760
Speaker 20: other states, and maybe you need the tax, but there's

1233
01:07:36,800 --> 01:07:39,240
Speaker 20: a lot of things that you can do to take

1234
01:07:39,280 --> 01:07:42,400
Speaker 20: the burden off the taxpayers. And I'm telling you those Scott,

1235
01:07:42,440 --> 01:07:45,880
Speaker 20: I'm hearing from people all over my state. Why should

1236
01:07:45,960 --> 01:07:49,200
Speaker 20: I pay any kind of taxes when there's no oversight

1237
01:07:49,320 --> 01:07:53,400
Speaker 20: and you're allowing people to steal us blind And I

1238
01:07:53,600 --> 01:07:54,600
Speaker 20: can't blame them.

1239
01:07:55,280 --> 01:07:55,480
Speaker 7: I know.

1240
01:07:55,520 --> 01:07:59,080
Speaker 2: Another big issue for you, coach is education policy. You

1241
01:07:59,120 --> 01:08:03,160
Speaker 2: strongly believe parents having a stronger role in education. What

1242
01:08:03,200 --> 01:08:06,560
Speaker 2: are you looking at in terms of changing education policy

1243
01:08:06,600 --> 01:08:09,080
Speaker 2: in Alabama to strengthen parents involvement?

1244
01:08:09,840 --> 01:08:11,560
Speaker 20: Yeah, well, you got to do you You got to

1245
01:08:11,600 --> 01:08:14,720
Speaker 20: go kids back to the parents. A lot of these schools,

1246
01:08:15,240 --> 01:08:19,040
Speaker 20: these tenured schools that are run by unions. You have

1247
01:08:19,120 --> 01:08:20,760
Speaker 20: a lot of a lot of these kids coming out of.

1248
01:08:20,760 --> 01:08:22,000
Speaker 7: These schools can't read and write.

1249
01:08:22,000 --> 01:08:23,800
Speaker 20: And if you can't read and write, you can't do math,

1250
01:08:24,120 --> 01:08:26,920
Speaker 20: do science, can't do history. Now I've dealt with I've

1251
01:08:26,960 --> 01:08:29,960
Speaker 20: been in almost every state in this country except for Alaska,

1252
01:08:30,560 --> 01:08:33,320
Speaker 20: visiting schools when I was recruiting on the high school

1253
01:08:33,400 --> 01:08:36,320
Speaker 20: or college levels, recruiting kids. Now, I'm seeing a lot

1254
01:08:36,320 --> 01:08:38,960
Speaker 20: of great schools, public schools, But the problem is our

1255
01:08:39,000 --> 01:08:42,520
Speaker 20: inner city kids are getting they're getting cheated because.

1256
01:08:42,200 --> 01:08:44,559
Speaker 7: We don't have a lot of those inner.

1257
01:08:44,400 --> 01:08:47,320
Speaker 20: City schools that are getting the job done in terms

1258
01:08:47,320 --> 01:08:51,240
Speaker 20: of teaching these kids. They come out and they're illiterate.

1259
01:08:51,439 --> 01:08:53,160
Speaker 20: I mean, they can't read and write and they can't

1260
01:08:53,160 --> 01:08:55,439
Speaker 20: do anything, but they just pass them on through. So

1261
01:08:56,400 --> 01:08:57,640
Speaker 20: I'm a true believer.

1262
01:08:57,439 --> 01:09:02,080
Speaker 7: Of the choose the school that you want to go to.

1263
01:09:02,200 --> 01:09:06,120
Speaker 20: We have that in the state of Alabama to where

1264
01:09:06,160 --> 01:09:09,559
Speaker 20: you can get a stipend and if you're not getting

1265
01:09:09,560 --> 01:09:11,639
Speaker 20: the education that you want or their parents don't think

1266
01:09:11,680 --> 01:09:14,000
Speaker 20: you are, you can go to another school and the

1267
01:09:14,040 --> 01:09:15,960
Speaker 20: government will give you a check to pay.

1268
01:09:15,760 --> 01:09:18,240
Speaker 7: Into that school at private school. So a lot of.

1269
01:09:18,240 --> 01:09:20,960
Speaker 20: People say we need public schools. If you look at

1270
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:25,000
Speaker 20: what's happened Scott, we have twice as many administrators now

1271
01:09:25,160 --> 01:09:26,920
Speaker 20: then we had when you and I was in school,

1272
01:09:27,240 --> 01:09:29,439
Speaker 20: and we don't have near as many teachers because they're

1273
01:09:29,439 --> 01:09:31,920
Speaker 20: getting those easier jobs to where you don't have to

1274
01:09:31,960 --> 01:09:34,040
Speaker 20: go in that classroom for four or five hours a

1275
01:09:34,120 --> 01:09:36,599
Speaker 20: day to teach. They're taking the easy way out. It's

1276
01:09:36,640 --> 01:09:39,160
Speaker 20: time that we cut out administrators, put more teachers in

1277
01:09:39,160 --> 01:09:42,360
Speaker 20: the classroom and teach these kids to read and write.

1278
01:09:42,439 --> 01:09:45,160
Speaker 20: If we don't, then we're going to continue to drop

1279
01:09:45,200 --> 01:09:47,080
Speaker 20: in this contry. We're twenty seventh in the world right

1280
01:09:47,120 --> 01:09:49,080
Speaker 20: now in education, we should be number.

1281
01:09:48,800 --> 01:09:49,880
Speaker 7: One, no doubt.

1282
01:09:51,160 --> 01:09:54,960
Speaker 2: Coach, you are a legendary football coach, and then you

1283
01:09:55,000 --> 01:09:57,840
Speaker 2: got into public service. I sense a little frustration in

1284
01:09:57,880 --> 01:10:01,040
Speaker 2: your voice with what you've learned in polic Do you

1285
01:10:01,120 --> 01:10:04,920
Speaker 2: think being governor is going to assuage that frustration.

1286
01:10:05,000 --> 01:10:06,360
Speaker 3: It sounds like being senator for.

1287
01:10:06,320 --> 01:10:09,760
Speaker 2: You has been a bit, a bit of a frustrating experience.

1288
01:10:10,280 --> 01:10:13,160
Speaker 20: Well, it's a learning process, and there's some good things

1289
01:10:13,160 --> 01:10:15,400
Speaker 20: that happened up here in the federal government. The problem

1290
01:10:15,479 --> 01:10:17,880
Speaker 20: it is so hard to get anything done. And for

1291
01:10:17,960 --> 01:10:20,559
Speaker 20: four years, Scott I set back and listened to guys

1292
01:10:20,680 --> 01:10:23,720
Speaker 20: like Secon day More workers of the Homeland Security said, oh,

1293
01:10:23,760 --> 01:10:26,400
Speaker 20: our borders closed, but we were letting five thousand people

1294
01:10:26,400 --> 01:10:30,400
Speaker 20: a day to come in with treat and nobody's worried

1295
01:10:30,400 --> 01:10:30,720
Speaker 20: about it.

1296
01:10:30,800 --> 01:10:31,120
Speaker 7: Up here.

1297
01:10:31,200 --> 01:10:35,599
Speaker 20: Nobody's worried. But we are absolutely spending money that are

1298
01:10:35,680 --> 01:10:38,920
Speaker 20: great great great grandkids are going to have to pay

1299
01:10:38,960 --> 01:10:43,160
Speaker 20: for and our dollars getting less valued. Thank god President

1300

Speaker 20: Trump got any closed the border. But we had so

1301
01:10:46,040 --> 01:10:48,639
Speaker 20: many negative things happened my first four years here. I'm

1302
01:10:48,680 --> 01:10:51,479
Speaker 20: looking around, going, how do we how are we even

1303
01:10:51,479 --> 01:10:53,880
Speaker 20: still up here? Why are the American people even paying

1304
01:10:53,920 --> 01:10:56,920
Speaker 20: taxes to pay for this nonsense that we're doing here?

1305
01:10:56,960 --> 01:10:59,799
Speaker 20: I mean, we we serve no purpose.
