WEBVTT - Enes Kanter Declares for WNBA  Draft

0:00:00.800 --> 0:00:07.080
<v Speaker 1>The voice of free speech, the truth delivered common sense

0:00:07.440 --> 0:00:12.840
<v Speaker 1>for the American people. Welcome to the Scott Jennings Show.

0:00:12.960 --> 0:00:15.560
<v Speaker 1>We have breaking news out of Washington today.

0:00:15.880 --> 0:00:20.240
<v Speaker 2>Todd Blanche's nomination for Attorney General hangs in the balance,

0:00:20.840 --> 0:00:24.720
<v Speaker 2>and so does construction of the White House Ballroom. There

0:00:24.800 --> 0:00:27.520
<v Speaker 2>is news on both, and we'll bring you the latest

0:00:27.560 --> 0:00:30.240
<v Speaker 2>in just a moment. Tennesseeans went to the polls last

0:00:30.320 --> 0:00:33.839
<v Speaker 2>night in their state's primary and there was a surprise loser.

0:00:34.240 --> 0:00:37.400
<v Speaker 2>Who was it, we'll tell you. And President Trump tries

0:00:37.440 --> 0:00:42.000
<v Speaker 2>again to curtail birthright citizenship. He has two new executive

0:00:42.080 --> 0:00:44.520
<v Speaker 2>orders and we have the details of that as well.

0:00:44.560 --> 0:00:46.240
<v Speaker 3>Today is Friday, August the seventh.

0:00:46.240 --> 0:00:49.519
<v Speaker 2>I'm Scott Jennings broadcasting for Salem and we're coming to

0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:51.480
<v Speaker 2>you from Louisville, Kentucky.

0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:52.440
<v Speaker 3>On this day.

0:00:52.520 --> 0:00:57.600
<v Speaker 2>In two thousand and seven, baseball history changed. With one

0:00:57.640 --> 0:00:59.960
<v Speaker 2>swing of the bat, Barry Bonds stepped into the play

0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:05.000
<v Speaker 2>in San Francisco against Washington Nationals pitcher Mike Bassick.

0:01:05.080 --> 0:01:08.160
<v Speaker 3>The count went full and then this cut.

0:01:07.959 --> 0:01:10.240
<v Speaker 4>For three balls and two strikes.

0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:19.600
<v Speaker 5>The overshift design and Bassic deals and Bonds pits.

0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:35.480
<v Speaker 6>Its seventy fifty Bond stands as I'm top on the

0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:36.400
<v Speaker 6>all time.

0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:37.760
<v Speaker 4>Bron West.

0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:42.720
<v Speaker 2>Barry Bonds launching home runs seven fifty six into the

0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:46.480
<v Speaker 2>right center field seats, breaking the record that had long

0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:51.240
<v Speaker 2>been held by Hank Aaron. The game stopped, the fireworks exploded,

0:01:51.320 --> 0:01:55.320
<v Speaker 2>and Aaron himself appeared on the scoreboard with a recorded

0:01:55.360 --> 0:01:59.760
<v Speaker 2>message congratulating Bonds. But this was no ordinary celebration because

0:01:59.800 --> 0:02:04.200
<v Speaker 2>by then Bonds was at the center of baseball's steroid scandal,

0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:07.000
<v Speaker 2>and his pursuit of Hank Aaron had become one of

0:02:07.040 --> 0:02:11.959
<v Speaker 2>the most controversial record chases in sports history. Bonds would

0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:14.760
<v Speaker 2>finish his career with seven hundred and sixty two home runs.

0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:19.040
<v Speaker 2>Nearly two decades later, the record still stands Barry Bonds

0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:22.760
<v Speaker 2>home run number seven five six on this day in

0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:26.120
<v Speaker 2>two thousand and seven. Breaking news to begin the show today,

0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:31.360
<v Speaker 2>Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche appears to have enough votes

0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:35.160
<v Speaker 2>for confirmation despite losing a couple of Republicans this week.

0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:40.160
<v Speaker 2>This morning, Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy announced that he will

0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:43.400
<v Speaker 2>support Blanche and that locks in or at least it

0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:46.960
<v Speaker 2>appears to lock in fifty votes. JD Vans can break

0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:50.160
<v Speaker 2>the tie should be done by this weekend. And more

0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:53.680
<v Speaker 2>breaking news just into the show here. A federal appeals

0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:57.400
<v Speaker 2>court has ordered the Trump administration to stop above ground

0:02:57.440 --> 0:03:00.799
<v Speaker 2>construction of the new four hundred million million dollar White

0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:03.960
<v Speaker 2>House Ballroom. In a two to one decision, the DC

0:03:04.200 --> 0:03:09.120
<v Speaker 2>Circuit ruled that President Trump cannot build the massive ninety

0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:14.160
<v Speaker 2>thousand square foot edition without congressional approval. Underground work on

0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:17.760
<v Speaker 2>bunkers and other national security facilities can continue.

0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:17.960
<v Speaker 7>Now.

0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:21.440
<v Speaker 2>The court is delaying its ruling for two weeks. That

0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:24.560
<v Speaker 2>gives Trump time to appeal it to the Supreme Court,

0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:27.839
<v Speaker 2>and you know he will. Now down to Tennessee, where

0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:31.720
<v Speaker 2>the primary last night produced a couple of noteworthy results. First,

0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:36.920
<v Speaker 2>in the Republican primary for governor, Marsha Blackburn, currently US Senator,

0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:40.320
<v Speaker 2>defeated two opponents with forty three percent of the vote.

0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:44.760
<v Speaker 2>She'll face Democrat Jerry Green in the fall. It's Blackburn

0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:50.120
<v Speaker 2>versus Green for governor. I'd say advantage Blackburn in that race. Elsewhere,

0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:53.960
<v Speaker 2>something of an upset here. Congressman Andy Ogels of the

0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:57.600
<v Speaker 2>House Freedom Caucus lost his primary against a man named

0:03:57.680 --> 0:04:02.200
<v Speaker 2>Charlie Hatcher, who's a former Agriculture Commissioner Ogles had the

0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:06.080
<v Speaker 2>support of President Trump, but a Clean Energy Superpack spent

0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:11.840
<v Speaker 2>about two million dollars opposing Ogles and supporting Hatcher. Ogles

0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:14.960
<v Speaker 2>was criticized by some Republicans for not campaigning hard enough

0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:18.640
<v Speaker 2>or raising the money necessary to win. Ogles found himself

0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:23.240
<v Speaker 2>running in a new congressional district after Republicans redrew the

0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:27.320
<v Speaker 2>lines earlier this year. The district, which once included part

0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:31.440
<v Speaker 2>of Nashville, now stretches from a cluster of suburbs outside

0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:34.320
<v Speaker 2>of Nashville all the way down to Memphis. As for

0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:37.240
<v Speaker 2>mister Hatcher, he's well like dairy farmer, who had the

0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:40.320
<v Speaker 2>support of several prominent Republicans in the state, including the

0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:44.320
<v Speaker 2>outgoing Governor Bill Lee. Although Trump went for Ogles here,

0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:48.919
<v Speaker 2>Hatcher had emphasized his support for Trump even without the endorsement.

0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:52.559
<v Speaker 2>Yesterday afternoon, President Trump signed a couple of executive orders

0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:57.280
<v Speaker 2>dealing with birthright citizenship. This comes after the Supreme Court

0:04:57.320 --> 0:05:02.320
<v Speaker 2>struck down his original executive order on the matter. Trump

0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:05.560
<v Speaker 2>versus Barbara was that case, So what did the President

0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:11.400
<v Speaker 2>do yesterday? The first order non exhaustively identifies certain categories

0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:14.080
<v Speaker 2>of children of aliens who are not entitled to birthright

0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:20.240
<v Speaker 2>citizenship consistent with historical exceptions to birthright citizenship recognized by

0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:23.320
<v Speaker 2>the Supreme Court in the Barber case. The second order

0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:27.680
<v Speaker 2>delegates presidential authorities to the Secretary of State and Secretary

0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:31.760
<v Speaker 2>of Homeland Security and directs them to halt the practice

0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:33.680
<v Speaker 2>of birth tourism.

0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:36.080
<v Speaker 3>Here's the president on that. Cut five.

0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:39.080
<v Speaker 8>We had a very unfortunate decision in the Supreme Court

0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:44.360
<v Speaker 8>concerning birthright was close, but a very very unfortunate decision.

0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:50.400
<v Speaker 8>So we're making adjustments because it's very unfair. This was

0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:53.320
<v Speaker 8>done for a different reason. This was done right after

0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:57.240
<v Speaker 8>the Civil War. This was for the babies of slaves.

0:05:58.400 --> 0:06:02.800
<v Speaker 8>And what's happening now If people are building businesses around

0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:07.000
<v Speaker 8>it from wealthy people are building businesses around birthright citizenship,

0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:08.800
<v Speaker 8>that's out the ware are supposed to work.

0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:09.640
<v Speaker 4>It's a disgrace.

0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:12.320
<v Speaker 8>They're buying their way in and we're not going to

0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:12.960
<v Speaker 8>let it happen.

0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:17.080
<v Speaker 2>Trump, of course, is right about this. Birth tourism has

0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:20.640
<v Speaker 2>turned the Fourteenth Amendment into a travel package. White House

0:06:20.640 --> 0:06:24.120
<v Speaker 2>Staff Secretary Will Sharf laid out the facts in the

0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:26.280
<v Speaker 2>Oval Office about why this is necessary.

0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:26.880
<v Speaker 3>Cut seven.

0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:28.720
<v Speaker 4>The law is absolutely clear.

0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:30.920
<v Speaker 9>What we're talking about, as Steven said, with respect to

0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:34.200
<v Speaker 9>birth tourism, something that used to happen, incidentally, where somebody

0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:36.400
<v Speaker 9>who happened to be on vacation here went into labor

0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:40.240
<v Speaker 9>early and had a baby. This was sort of a

0:06:40.240 --> 0:06:43.360
<v Speaker 9>a relatively small problem. What we've seen in recent years, though,

0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:47.840
<v Speaker 9>is organized rings, at times criminal rings, setting up a

0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:52.520
<v Speaker 9>system whereby tens hundreds thousands, tens of thousands of people

0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:55.720
<v Speaker 9>can come to this country in an organized fashion and

0:06:55.920 --> 0:06:59.760
<v Speaker 9>give birth here purely for the sake of obtaining birthright citizenship.

0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:02.839
<v Speaker 9>This order takes a number of different actions intended to

0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:06.920
<v Speaker 9>combat those sorts of organized practices. We look very heavily

0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:10.040
<v Speaker 9>at denying visus to people that we have reason to

0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:13.720
<v Speaker 9>believe are coming here for that purpose. Visas both for

0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:17.840
<v Speaker 9>computative parents but also for the people organizing these rings.

0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:20.720
<v Speaker 9>There's also obviously a law enforcement component.

0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:26.480
<v Speaker 2>You know, whatever you think of the broader birthright citizenship debate, surely,

0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:30.040
<v Speaker 2>surely the fourteenth Amendment was never intended to create an

0:07:30.080 --> 0:07:34.800
<v Speaker 2>international birth tourism industry. Back to Michigan, fallout from the

0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:38.200
<v Speaker 2>state's primary on Tuesday continues. There's a real split in

0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:42.880
<v Speaker 2>the Democratic Party, with many supporters of Hailey Stevens wondering

0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:45.320
<v Speaker 2>how they could ever support a radical for Senate like

0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:50.520
<v Speaker 2>Abdul Lsied, and Republican Mike Rogers is moving to take

0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:54.160
<v Speaker 2>advantage of the split. He has issued an appeal this morning.

0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:56.240
<v Speaker 2>Take a listen to this in full cut fifteen.

0:07:56.840 --> 0:07:59.720
<v Speaker 10>If you're among the majority of Democratic voters that woke

0:07:59.800 --> 0:08:03.680
<v Speaker 10>up on Wednesday feeling well hopeless because the person who

0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:06.280
<v Speaker 10>won does not represent your values.

0:08:06.080 --> 0:08:08.520
<v Speaker 4>Well just know there is still hope.

0:08:08.520 --> 0:08:11.440
<v Speaker 10>Michigan deserves a senator who is ready to sit with you,

0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:14.920
<v Speaker 10>hear from you, and represent you. The parents across Michigan

0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:17.960
<v Speaker 10>who want an education system that sets up their kids

0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:21.520
<v Speaker 10>for success, You have a home with us. To grandparents

0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:25.280
<v Speaker 10>across Michigan who are heartbroken from watching their kids and

0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:29.160
<v Speaker 10>grandkids leave the state. You have a home with us.

0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:32.600
<v Speaker 10>To young people who are looking for real solutions to

0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:34.920
<v Speaker 10>solve our housing affordability crisis.

0:08:35.160 --> 0:08:36.760
<v Speaker 4>You have a home with us.

0:08:37.280 --> 0:08:41.480
<v Speaker 10>To working families who don't want higher taxes and lower paychecks.

0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:44.280
<v Speaker 4>Well, you have a home with us, and to the.

0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:47.720
<v Speaker 10>Vast majority of people across Michigan who do not want

0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:51.800
<v Speaker 10>to throw their support behind a campaign filled with anger divisiveness,

0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:54.600
<v Speaker 10>calls for violence, and the views that are out of

0:08:54.640 --> 0:08:58.160
<v Speaker 10>touch with your values. Well, you have a home with us.

0:08:58.679 --> 0:09:01.319
<v Speaker 10>The fight is far greater and then just left versus right.

0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:04.040
<v Speaker 10>The fight is for the very soul of our nation.

0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:06.760
<v Speaker 10>Over the next ninety days, I'm going to work hard

0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:09.360
<v Speaker 10>to earn your trust, to earn your support, and earn

0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:12.720
<v Speaker 10>your vote. We have a state to say, Michigan, let's

0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:14.719
<v Speaker 10>get to work now.

0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:19.240
<v Speaker 2>Our friend Julian Epstein, longtime Democratic strategist, announced this morning

0:09:19.280 --> 0:09:22.720
<v Speaker 2>he was donating to and supporting Mike Rogers for Senate.

0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:25.839
<v Speaker 2>He writes in an op ed for Fox News, Democrats

0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:29.520
<v Speaker 2>aren't coddling Scandinavian style socialists. They're getting into bed with

0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:32.640
<v Speaker 2>a neolistic, deconstructionist.

0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:33.920
<v Speaker 3>Brand of third worldism.

0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:37.520
<v Speaker 2>Expect this theme to permeate the campaign for the rest

0:09:37.520 --> 0:09:40.160
<v Speaker 2>of the year. Let's talk supplements for a moment. Two

0:09:40.200 --> 0:09:42.520
<v Speaker 2>things matter the most when it comes to thinking about

0:09:42.559 --> 0:09:45.000
<v Speaker 2>these kinds of things. Does this work? And can I

0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:48.200
<v Speaker 2>trust it? These are the questions you have. I could

0:09:48.240 --> 0:09:51.720
<v Speaker 2>tell you about the affirmative responses that I've had on

0:09:51.800 --> 0:09:55.000
<v Speaker 2>relief factor, but let me let the customers do the talking.

0:09:55.040 --> 0:09:56.120
<v Speaker 3>Here's a note from Mark.

0:09:56.480 --> 0:10:01.760
<v Speaker 2>He was in tears from his daily hand discomfort, but

0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:04.880
<v Speaker 2>after a week on relief Factor he felt fifty percent

0:10:04.960 --> 0:10:08.560
<v Speaker 2>better and now Mark barely notices any pain and he

0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:12.079
<v Speaker 2>loves our customers service. He's so happy that he wanted

0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:14.319

0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:33.520
<v Speaker 3>it may.

<v Speaker 2>Be that you will soon be sharing your Relief Factors

0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:39.599
<v Speaker 2>story with us. When we come back, we're going to

0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:41.520
<v Speaker 2>take a look at the United States Senate. We're trying

0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:44.040
<v Speaker 2>to wrap up here today. Lot on the floor right now,

0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:45.480
<v Speaker 2>we'll have the news after this.

0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:49.680
<v Speaker 11>Stay with us saving a Western civilization, One busted leftist

0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:50.800
<v Speaker 11>narrative at a time.

0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:53.160
<v Speaker 4>It's the Scott Jenny Show.

0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:56.760
<v Speaker 2>All right, Friday, August the seventh, Common Sense for the

0:10:56.760 --> 0:11:00.439
<v Speaker 2>American people. Thanks for joining us here on Salem. I'm Scotts.

0:11:00.440 --> 0:11:03.320
<v Speaker 2>Thought i'd take a few minutes here and just go

0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:06.600
<v Speaker 2>over what is happening in the United States Senate today.

0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:10.800
<v Speaker 2>They are trying to clear a backlog of several issues

0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:14.640
<v Speaker 2>before they wrap up, and the Senate would not come

0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:18.360
<v Speaker 2>back until September fourteenth. This will be the August recess

0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:22.400
<v Speaker 2>in DC parlance, sometimes they call it the August district

0:11:22.440 --> 0:11:26.560
<v Speaker 2>or state work period. So this is the Senate working

0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:30.240
<v Speaker 2>through a number of issues today. First of all, here's

0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:33.000
<v Speaker 2>what President Trump has said he wants the Senate to do.

0:11:33.200 --> 0:11:34.640
<v Speaker 2>Let's listen to President cut nine.

0:11:34.960 --> 0:11:37.920
<v Speaker 12>So I believe strongly in terminating the filibuster and by

0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:42.320
<v Speaker 12>the way, getting Save America Act approved immediately, and about

0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:46.040
<v Speaker 12>four hundred other things in every.

0:11:45.840 --> 0:11:48.679
<v Speaker 4>Hour of every day. Boom boom, boom, you get whatever

0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:49.199
<v Speaker 4>you want.

0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:52.480
<v Speaker 3>You Okay, that's the President's desires.

0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:55.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't believe they are going to be terminating the

0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:58.960
<v Speaker 2>filibuster or passing the Save Act today, So that continues

0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:03.199
<v Speaker 2>to be outstanding. However, the President, although he'll be disappointed

0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:08.080
<v Speaker 2>with that, did get some welcome news today and that

0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:13.079
<v Speaker 2>is on his nominee for Attorney General, Todd Blanche. Todd

0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:15.920
<v Speaker 2>Blanche has been the acting Attorney General for several months,

0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:19.280
<v Speaker 2>he's been angling for the top job, and he's been

0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:23.360
<v Speaker 2>working through the Senate confirmation process. It was a bit

0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:25.520
<v Speaker 2>of drama about whether he was going to get the

0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:31.480
<v Speaker 2>votes because Republicans Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins have announced

0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:35.640
<v Speaker 2>their opposition to Blanche. That minute all came down to

0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:41.600
<v Speaker 2>Bill Cassidy of Louisiana. Senator Cassidy, you might recall, lost

0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:47.120
<v Speaker 2>a primary this year because President Trump had backed someone else.

0:12:47.200 --> 0:12:50.680
<v Speaker 2>So there was some drama about whether Cassidy would fall

0:12:50.679 --> 0:12:53.920
<v Speaker 2>in line with the President's agenda here and back Todd Blanche.

0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:57.959
<v Speaker 3>But ultimately he said that he will. Here's cut ten.

0:12:58.400 --> 0:13:00.880
<v Speaker 13>So we mister Blanche in another act, an attorney general

0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:04.640
<v Speaker 13>who may not run the department effectively under President Trump.

0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:06.040
<v Speaker 4>And who.

0:13:07.760 --> 0:13:12.080
<v Speaker 13>Indeed may not be as good as mister Blanche. This

0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:16.280
<v Speaker 13>puts at risk the progress made fighting violent crime, human

0:13:16.280 --> 0:13:19.280
<v Speaker 13>and drug trafficking, and fraud. And this does not serve

0:13:19.320 --> 0:13:22.560
<v Speaker 13>the American people. Well, this is not a referendum on

0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:26.440
<v Speaker 13>President Trump. It is a decision regarding mister Blanche in

0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:30.760
<v Speaker 13>very specific circumstances. All considered, I will vote for mister Blanche.

0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:32.480
<v Speaker 3>All right.

0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:36.120
<v Speaker 2>Bill Cassidy's saving the nomination of Todd Blanche and that

0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:39.679
<v Speaker 2>should get done today. In addition to that, Senate leadership

0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:44.320
<v Speaker 2>is moving to clear a heavy backlog of executive and

0:13:44.520 --> 0:13:49.199
<v Speaker 2>judicial nominees before they break here for August, and they

0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:51.600
<v Speaker 2>should be having a vote on what I believe will

0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:56.199
<v Speaker 2>be seventy four nominations in blocks, so all sorts of things.

0:13:56.280 --> 0:13:58.280
<v Speaker 2>The President gets to a point and the Senate has

0:13:58.320 --> 0:14:04.960
<v Speaker 2>to confirm those should today in block. Also other issues,

0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:06.560
<v Speaker 2>and this is I'm just going to do a quick

0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:09.280
<v Speaker 2>check while we're talking here. So we're looking at the

0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:14.280
<v Speaker 2>Senate floor right now, and on the Senate floor they

0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:17.760
<v Speaker 2>have a vote open on the Russia sanctions bill. You

0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:21.160
<v Speaker 2>may have been reading about this and it got renewed

0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:24.440
<v Speaker 2>interest after the death of Senator Lindsey Graham, who had

0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:30.040
<v Speaker 2>been pushing this very hard. But Russia sanctions bill is

0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:33.760
<v Speaker 2>being voted on as we speak, and I do see

0:14:33.800 --> 0:14:36.240
<v Speaker 2>some action on the Senate floor. It looks like they're

0:14:36.680 --> 0:14:40.160
<v Speaker 2>reading some names right now now. There was an amendment

0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:45.480
<v Speaker 2>vote on this this morning, and the amendment was offered

0:14:45.480 --> 0:14:48.440
<v Speaker 2>by Ran Paul of Kentucky and Ron Wyden, so it

0:14:48.520 --> 0:14:53.120
<v Speaker 2>was a bipartisan amendment and it would have taken away

0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:56.560
<v Speaker 2>some of the tariff authority that this bill gives to

0:14:56.600 --> 0:15:00.440
<v Speaker 2>Donald Trump. This bill gives him vast tariff of authority,

0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:02.920
<v Speaker 2>so they wanted to take that out.

0:15:03.320 --> 0:15:04.240
<v Speaker 3>The vote failed.

0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:07.960
<v Speaker 2>It was final thirty two in the affirmative and sixty

0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:10.920
<v Speaker 2>four were again, so that did not work out. So

0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:13.640
<v Speaker 2>now we're on the final passage of the Russia Sanctions Bill,

0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:18.040
<v Speaker 2>and they've renamed it, by the way, the Lindsey Graham Bill.

0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:24.520
<v Speaker 2>This would allow President Trump and future presidents to impose

0:15:24.640 --> 0:15:28.600
<v Speaker 2>tariffs of up to one hundred percent on major importers

0:15:29.160 --> 0:15:34.000
<v Speaker 2>of Russian energy. It would give the president greater flexibility

0:15:34.040 --> 0:15:37.520
<v Speaker 2>to raise import taxes on major economies like India, China,

0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:41.239
<v Speaker 2>and the European Union without the legal limits and ambiguity

0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:44.720
<v Speaker 2>of the tools the tariff tools that he has used

0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:45.560
<v Speaker 2>thus far.

0:15:45.760 --> 0:15:47.200
<v Speaker 3>So this was actually a big deal.

0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:51.560
<v Speaker 2>But this certainly strength strengthens the president's hand when it

0:15:51.600 --> 0:15:55.720
<v Speaker 2>comes to using tariffs for the purposes of national security.

0:15:55.760 --> 0:15:58.480
<v Speaker 2>The expectation here is that this bill is going to

0:15:58.520 --> 0:16:03.080
<v Speaker 2>pass this afternoon. It passed a key procedural hurdle last

0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:05.240
<v Speaker 2>week by an eighty six to twelve votes, so it

0:16:05.280 --> 0:16:07.840
<v Speaker 2>doesn't feel like it's going to be unanimous, but we

0:16:07.920 --> 0:16:10.960
<v Speaker 2>are expecting the Russia Sanctions bill named for Lindsey Graham

0:16:11.080 --> 0:16:13.200
<v Speaker 2>to pass. Doesn't feel like they're going to get to

0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:16.560
<v Speaker 2>the Clarity Act. That's the cryptocurrency bill. There's a bill

0:16:16.600 --> 0:16:20.200
<v Speaker 2>on college athletics hanging out there that does have bipartisan support.

0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:23.440
<v Speaker 2>The President does say he'll sign it. Unclear. Farm bill

0:16:23.520 --> 0:16:26.680
<v Speaker 2>still unclear. So still some things to do in the Senate,

0:16:26.720 --> 0:16:29.160
<v Speaker 2>but some work is getting done. We're going to take

0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:31.280
<v Speaker 2>a break. We'll talk more news when you come back.

0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:32.640
<v Speaker 2>Scott Jennings on Salem.

0:16:32.440 --> 0:16:37.080
<v Speaker 11>Stupid news comments and the stories in facts the mainstream media.

0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:40.200
<v Speaker 4>Refuses to discuss. It's the Scott Jennings Show.

0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:42.800
<v Speaker 3>Friday, August the seventh.

0:16:42.840 --> 0:16:45.840
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for joining us here common sense for the American people.

0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:49.560
<v Speaker 2>A quick update to our previous reporting on the US

0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:52.600
<v Speaker 2>Senate while we were in commercial. The Senate is overwhelmingly

0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:58.360
<v Speaker 2>passed the bipartisan Russian sanctions legislation, champion by the late

0:16:58.760 --> 0:17:01.000
<v Speaker 2>Lindsey Graham of South Caro Line of the final vote

0:17:01.040 --> 0:17:03.920
<v Speaker 2>eighty six to eleven, and that'll send it over to

0:17:03.960 --> 0:17:08.120
<v Speaker 2>the House for consideration. So as predicted, this is passed

0:17:08.160 --> 0:17:11.760
<v Speaker 2>and the attempt to strip out the tariff authority for

0:17:11.800 --> 0:17:15.359
<v Speaker 2>the president was defeated. In other news, when something is

0:17:15.400 --> 0:17:19.520
<v Speaker 2>important in the Middle East, Adam Credo, our next guest,

0:17:19.640 --> 0:17:22.760
<v Speaker 2>is usually one of the first reporters to uncover it.

0:17:22.800 --> 0:17:26.359
<v Speaker 2>He covers national security and foreign policy and has built

0:17:26.400 --> 0:17:31.240
<v Speaker 2>a reputation for breaking stories that the legacy media often misses.

0:17:32.119 --> 0:17:34.879
<v Speaker 2>His latest in The Free Beacon looks at whether the

0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:40.080
<v Speaker 2>United Nations is obstructing an American investigation into possible Hamas

0:17:40.640 --> 0:17:45.480
<v Speaker 2>infiltration of its Gaza operations. Adam, welcome into the Scott

0:17:45.480 --> 0:17:46.480
<v Speaker 2>Sheenning Show.

0:17:47.480 --> 0:17:49.360
<v Speaker 14>Appreciate you having me, always a pleasure.

0:17:50.280 --> 0:17:52.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, thanks for the work that you do. Let's dive

0:17:52.400 --> 0:17:54.520
<v Speaker 2>into this latest story that you have. You have an

0:17:54.600 --> 0:17:59.440
<v Speaker 2>article here about a UN group in Gaza that many

0:17:59.440 --> 0:18:02.720
<v Speaker 2>people believe has been infiltrated by Hamas. What is this

0:18:02.880 --> 0:18:05.720
<v Speaker 2>group and what are the accusations? What is the nature

0:18:05.720 --> 0:18:06.280
<v Speaker 2>of the story.

0:18:07.400 --> 0:18:11.440
<v Speaker 14>Sure, so, this is the United Nations Relief and Works Agency.

0:18:11.560 --> 0:18:14.960
<v Speaker 14>This is a humanitarian group that has operated in Gaza

0:18:15.040 --> 0:18:18.760
<v Speaker 14>for quite some time, decades now, and there have always

0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:23.040
<v Speaker 14>been reports of them being a bit too cozy with Hamas,

0:18:23.160 --> 0:18:26.960
<v Speaker 14>letting them store weapons in their facilities, letting them use

0:18:27.040 --> 0:18:32.119
<v Speaker 14>their facilities to fire onto Israel and commit acts of terrorism.

0:18:32.480 --> 0:18:35.760
<v Speaker 14>The questions became even more pronounced in the wake of

0:18:35.800 --> 0:18:39.880
<v Speaker 14>the October seventh massacre when it was actually determined by

0:18:39.960 --> 0:18:46.680
<v Speaker 14>Israel first and then others that UNRA actually employed more

0:18:46.720 --> 0:18:51.000
<v Speaker 14>than one hundred people who participate in those October seventh attacks.

0:18:51.080 --> 0:18:57.040
<v Speaker 14>Now what's interesting here is the USAID Inspector General that

0:18:57.200 --> 0:19:01.360
<v Speaker 14>is not USAID itself. It's the Inspector GENUNERAL that's responsible

0:19:01.400 --> 0:19:05.320
<v Speaker 14>for monitoring how American foreign assistance is dolled out across

0:19:05.320 --> 0:19:08.680
<v Speaker 14>the globe. It's an important distinction their law enforcement agency,

0:19:08.720 --> 0:19:12.160
<v Speaker 14>and they're separate from the USAID, which is largely defunct.

0:19:12.200 --> 0:19:15.160
<v Speaker 14>Now what they found is that yes, in fact, more

0:19:15.200 --> 0:19:20.680
<v Speaker 14>than one hundred employees were members of HAMAS. And they

0:19:20.760 --> 0:19:24.159
<v Speaker 14>also found through the course of their investigation that the

0:19:24.320 --> 0:19:28.400
<v Speaker 14>un including unrean at least six other agencies don't really

0:19:28.440 --> 0:19:33.120
<v Speaker 14>want to provide information about those employees or cooperate into

0:19:33.160 --> 0:19:38.120
<v Speaker 14>their ongoing investigation surrounding HAMAS interference into aid delivery.

0:19:39.320 --> 0:19:42.680
<v Speaker 2>Adam, here is why your story caught my attention, because

0:19:42.760 --> 0:19:48.160
<v Speaker 2>there is still a propaganda war going on around October

0:19:48.240 --> 0:19:51.440
<v Speaker 2>the seventh around the plight of the people in Gaza,

0:19:52.119 --> 0:19:55.080
<v Speaker 2>and the accusation is is that Israel and even the

0:19:55.200 --> 0:20:03.440
<v Speaker 2>United States were obstructing or stopping or prohibiting aid from

0:20:03.480 --> 0:20:07.280
<v Speaker 2>getting to people in Gaza. Now, Israel, as you pointed out,

0:20:07.320 --> 0:20:10.000
<v Speaker 2>and others have said, that's the opposite of what's happening.

0:20:10.040 --> 0:20:12.879
<v Speaker 2>Israel in the United States are trying to get the

0:20:12.920 --> 0:20:16.600
<v Speaker 2>aid into the Palestinian people, but it's the Hamas that

0:20:16.720 --> 0:20:19.520
<v Speaker 2>in fact is doing the obstruction, or they're stealing it

0:20:19.560 --> 0:20:22.280
<v Speaker 2>and then stealing it and selling it. I thought your

0:20:22.320 --> 0:20:25.920
<v Speaker 2>story was interesting because to me, this speaks to this

0:20:26.040 --> 0:20:29.400
<v Speaker 2>sort of ongoing propaganda war. It sounds like what's going

0:20:29.400 --> 0:20:33.000
<v Speaker 2>on here is that Hamas has in fact infiltrated the

0:20:33.040 --> 0:20:35.720
<v Speaker 2>aid distribution system and was the problem here is that

0:20:35.760 --> 0:20:38.200
<v Speaker 2>how you see it, Yeah.

0:20:38.040 --> 0:20:40.760
<v Speaker 14>There's very much a propaganda war, and this is one

0:20:40.800 --> 0:20:43.600
<v Speaker 14>of the most important aspects of the story that once

0:20:43.640 --> 0:20:46.840
<v Speaker 14>you put the propaganda war aside, the accusations he said,

0:20:47.080 --> 0:20:50.080
<v Speaker 14>she said, Israel's obstructing aid, you're left with facts and

0:20:50.160 --> 0:20:53.160
<v Speaker 14>the facts of the matter according to the US investigation

0:20:53.520 --> 0:20:55.240
<v Speaker 14>that's been going on for more than a year and

0:20:55.359 --> 0:20:58.720
<v Speaker 14>is ongoing, and continuing and even expanding to I believe

0:20:59.000 --> 0:21:03.160
<v Speaker 14>over a thousand members of UNRA who are actually affiliated

0:21:03.200 --> 0:21:06.600
<v Speaker 14>with HAMAS. Again, this is the United Nations paying salaries

0:21:06.760 --> 0:21:10.440
<v Speaker 14>of HAMAS members. And what you find is that it's

0:21:10.480 --> 0:21:14.280
<v Speaker 14>exactly HAMAS who's stealing aid. Hamas is interfering in delivery.

0:21:14.480 --> 0:21:17.679
<v Speaker 14>They're infiltrating aid groups, whether they're affiliated with the United

0:21:17.760 --> 0:21:23.240
<v Speaker 14>Nations or otherwise outside nonprofit charities that operate there. That

0:21:23.320 --> 0:21:27.119
<v Speaker 14>evidence is clear. The Inspector General itself found late last

0:21:27.200 --> 0:21:31.719
<v Speaker 14>year that United Nations trucks were common deer by HAMAS.

0:21:32.000 --> 0:21:36.240
<v Speaker 14>Hamas embedded its personnel into key positions in US aid

0:21:36.359 --> 0:21:40.760
<v Speaker 14>orgacy organizations to ensure that aid went directly to them.

0:21:41.040 --> 0:21:43.959
<v Speaker 14>These are the facts of the matter. Israel's allowing trucks in,

0:21:44.280 --> 0:21:47.560
<v Speaker 14>but the un has a consistent problem with stopping HAMAS

0:21:47.600 --> 0:21:50.280
<v Speaker 14>from stealing the aid, and that's exactly what the Inspector

0:21:50.359 --> 0:21:53.120
<v Speaker 14>General is out there to figure out. It's also why,

0:21:53.119 --> 0:21:56.000
<v Speaker 14>by the way, we stop giving money to UNRA specifically

0:21:56.040 --> 0:21:56.720
<v Speaker 14>for this reason.

0:21:57.960 --> 0:22:00.480
<v Speaker 2>Adam Credo is with Washington Free Beacon Hand a new

0:22:00.560 --> 0:22:05.040
<v Speaker 2>investigation out. I suggest you read it about what's going

0:22:05.080 --> 0:22:09.080
<v Speaker 2>on here with the United Nations and being infiltrated by

0:22:09.200 --> 0:22:16.000
<v Speaker 2>Hamas in Gaza. You're talking about United Nations here, agencies

0:22:16.359 --> 0:22:19.560
<v Speaker 2>we pay. The United States pays money to the United Nations,

0:22:20.160 --> 0:22:23.200
<v Speaker 2>and you're talking about Hamas having infiltrated this whole structure.

0:22:23.240 --> 0:22:27.560
<v Speaker 2>I have to ask, has American taxpayer money found its

0:22:27.560 --> 0:22:30.200
<v Speaker 2>way into the hands of Hamas in Gaza.

0:22:31.359 --> 0:22:36.160
<v Speaker 14>Most likely, particularly under the Biden administration and programs going

0:22:36.200 --> 0:22:40.119
<v Speaker 14>back to that era. I actually reported separately during the

0:22:40.160 --> 0:22:43.480
<v Speaker 14>time of the Biden administration that there was a move

0:22:43.640 --> 0:22:46.760
<v Speaker 14>internally from the early days of the administration at the

0:22:46.760 --> 0:22:50.720
<v Speaker 14>State Department to get specific permission from the Treasury Department,

0:22:50.800 --> 0:22:55.920
<v Speaker 14>that is OPHAK, who oversees funds that might be going

0:22:55.920 --> 0:22:59.399
<v Speaker 14>to terrorist groups, and they issued a determination that while

0:22:59.840 --> 0:23:03.080
<v Speaker 14>it's incredibly likely that this usaid and money will be

0:23:03.160 --> 0:23:06.359
<v Speaker 14>siphoned by Hamas, diverted by Hamas, they wanted to find

0:23:06.359 --> 0:23:08.400
<v Speaker 14>a way to go ahead with it anyway. And that's

0:23:08.440 --> 0:23:11.479
<v Speaker 14>exactly what they did. That's why the Inspector General has

0:23:11.520 --> 0:23:15.440
<v Speaker 14>stepped in now, particularly under the Trump administration, to OnEarth

0:23:15.480 --> 0:23:17.920
<v Speaker 14>exactly what happened to that money and to ensure that

0:23:17.920 --> 0:23:21.000
<v Speaker 14>that never happens again. The Trump administration has been pretty

0:23:21.040 --> 0:23:24.480
<v Speaker 14>strong and very clear about restricting the way US funds

0:23:24.520 --> 0:23:26.560
<v Speaker 14>are spent. But there's a lot of work for the

0:23:26.600 --> 0:23:30.119
<v Speaker 14>Inspector General to do prior to this administration, what was

0:23:30.119 --> 0:23:34.560
<v Speaker 14>happening in the Obama administration, in the Biden administration, and

0:23:34.600 --> 0:23:37.680
<v Speaker 14>going back even further, and during those times, there's clear

0:23:37.720 --> 0:23:41.280
<v Speaker 14>evidence that they knew aid and money would be diverted,

0:23:41.640 --> 0:23:43.760
<v Speaker 14>but they wanted to push that priority anyway.

0:23:44.960 --> 0:23:48.720
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think they were more interested in giving in

0:23:48.760 --> 0:23:51.840
<v Speaker 2>to the propaganda and giving in to all these free

0:23:51.840 --> 0:23:55.520
<v Speaker 2>Palestine radicals in their political base. I mean, recall that

0:23:55.640 --> 0:23:59.760
<v Speaker 2>Joe Biden built that crazy peer project, you know, the

0:24:00.240 --> 0:24:03.280
<v Speaker 2>to Nowhere, which cost hundreds of millions of dollars. I

0:24:03.320 --> 0:24:06.119
<v Speaker 2>think a US soldier at least one died trying to

0:24:06.160 --> 0:24:08.840
<v Speaker 2>fix it. But no aid was ever delivered, and it

0:24:09.320 --> 0:24:12.840
<v Speaker 2>was literally a project to satisfy these people who were

0:24:12.840 --> 0:24:16.600
<v Speaker 2>claiming that no aid was going in to the Palestinian people,

0:24:16.640 --> 0:24:19.359
<v Speaker 2>and of course that wasn't true. I find that they

0:24:19.400 --> 0:24:21.399
<v Speaker 2>did a lot of things for window dressing, Adam, they

0:24:21.400 --> 0:24:23.280
<v Speaker 2>didn't do things for good reasons. They did a lot

0:24:23.320 --> 0:24:25.879
<v Speaker 2>of things for pr purposes or window dressing, and it

0:24:25.920 --> 0:24:29.199
<v Speaker 2>turned out exactly as you might imagine. You also have

0:24:29.280 --> 0:24:33.480
<v Speaker 2>some information here in the story about how Hamas used

0:24:33.560 --> 0:24:38.679
<v Speaker 2>its police force, it's notoriously brutal police force to intimidate

0:24:38.800 --> 0:24:40.959
<v Speaker 2>AID workers who were trying to help in Gaza.

0:24:41.000 --> 0:24:44.040
<v Speaker 3>Tell us about that, correct, So this.

0:24:43.960 --> 0:24:46.879
<v Speaker 14>Is another piece of the Inspector General's investigation. It was

0:24:46.920 --> 0:24:49.919
<v Speaker 14>a confidential report that I obtained a copy of in

0:24:49.960 --> 0:24:54.480
<v Speaker 14>and essentially looked at several US funded NGOs that were

0:24:54.480 --> 0:24:58.280
<v Speaker 14>operating Gozen. Now these NGOs themselves were not accused of

0:24:58.320 --> 0:25:01.520
<v Speaker 14>any wrongdoing, but the Inspector and wanted to know what

0:25:01.560 --> 0:25:05.959
<v Speaker 14>the conditions are like on the ground, what they're operating

0:25:06.040 --> 0:25:09.720
<v Speaker 14>against over there. And mostly all of these aid organizations

0:25:09.840 --> 0:25:14.520
<v Speaker 14>admitted that the Hamas Ministry of Interior, which again is Hamas.

0:25:14.560 --> 0:25:16.520
<v Speaker 14>It might not be its armed wing, but it very

0:25:16.560 --> 0:25:20.720
<v Speaker 14>much is Hamas and it does their bidding, intimidated AID workers,

0:25:20.960 --> 0:25:25.240
<v Speaker 14>threaten to obtain copies of their confidential employee data, threatened

0:25:25.280 --> 0:25:27.359
<v Speaker 14>to sick the police on them if they did not

0:25:27.440 --> 0:25:30.880
<v Speaker 14>allow them to establish personnel at AID sites, including most

0:25:30.880 --> 0:25:34.360
<v Speaker 14>notably hospitals, which are very important to Hamas. They want

0:25:34.400 --> 0:25:37.159
<v Speaker 14>to patrol those sites, and they use hospitals as I

0:25:37.240 --> 0:25:42.440
<v Speaker 14>also reported just recently to torture, beat, and interrogate Gaza

0:25:42.480 --> 0:25:45.840
<v Speaker 14>civilians that they see as against hamas's effort. So this

0:25:46.040 --> 0:25:49.399
<v Speaker 14>is all part of that network that HAMAS polices and

0:25:49.560 --> 0:25:53.160
<v Speaker 14>make sure is under its thumb. These aid groups were

0:25:53.520 --> 0:25:57.320
<v Speaker 14>operating in an environment where their every move was tracked

0:25:57.359 --> 0:26:01.280
<v Speaker 14>by HAMAS. And there are additional reports watchdog groups, not

0:26:01.359 --> 0:26:05.159
<v Speaker 14>the Inspector General itself, that there are many agencies that

0:26:05.240 --> 0:26:08.800
<v Speaker 14>worked tand in glove with HAMAS in order to perform

0:26:08.840 --> 0:26:13.000
<v Speaker 14>their aid operations. That is allowing HAMAS officials to use

0:26:13.080 --> 0:26:16.480
<v Speaker 14>sites at hospitals. There were reports that HAMAS used a

0:26:16.520 --> 0:26:19.600
<v Speaker 14>command and control center in a hospital that was located

0:26:19.680 --> 0:26:22.919
<v Speaker 14>literally next door to an AID organization. So this is

0:26:22.960 --> 0:26:26.479
<v Speaker 14>done for cover AMAS once Isra're out to bomb civilian sites,

0:26:26.720 --> 0:26:30.080
<v Speaker 14>so they can then say that Israel is targeting civilians

0:26:30.080 --> 0:26:32.919
<v Speaker 14>when in fact HAMAS is embedded in these sites.

0:26:33.800 --> 0:26:34.480
<v Speaker 3>All right, Adam.

0:26:34.520 --> 0:26:37.560
<v Speaker 2>So we know that the United Nations denied for a

0:26:37.640 --> 0:26:41.720
<v Speaker 2>very long time that HAMAS was interfering with aid delivery.

0:26:41.760 --> 0:26:44.359
<v Speaker 2>We now know that simply wasn't true, and we know

0:26:44.840 --> 0:26:48.080
<v Speaker 2>that they've been interfering with this investigation as we sit

0:26:48.119 --> 0:26:51.960
<v Speaker 2>here today. Is the United Nations now cooperating at all.

0:26:54.280 --> 0:26:54.760
<v Speaker 4>Yes and no.

0:26:55.320 --> 0:26:58.520
<v Speaker 14>They've responded to pieces of the investigation. I think most

0:26:58.560 --> 0:27:01.200
<v Speaker 14>notably what they won't have and over his lists in

0:27:01.240 --> 0:27:04.520
<v Speaker 14>their employees. The Inspector General would use these lists to

0:27:04.600 --> 0:27:08.240
<v Speaker 14>determine if they're actually members of Hamas. They have methods

0:27:08.240 --> 0:27:11.840
<v Speaker 14>and means to investigate and check back whether these individuals

0:27:11.920 --> 0:27:14.760
<v Speaker 14>or who they say they are, whether these individuals in

0:27:14.800 --> 0:27:18.640
<v Speaker 14>many cases that we've documented throughout the war are actually

0:27:18.680 --> 0:27:21.480
<v Speaker 14>doubling as members of HAMAS. That's a big piece of it,

0:27:21.720 --> 0:27:24.360
<v Speaker 14>and that information has not been furnished. There's a lot

0:27:24.359 --> 0:27:28.480
<v Speaker 14>of other internal documentation that the Inspector General has requested

0:27:28.720 --> 0:27:30.679
<v Speaker 14>but has not yet got in its hands on. I

0:27:30.720 --> 0:27:33.720
<v Speaker 14>suspect the reason for that is the information will show

0:27:33.760 --> 0:27:37.520
<v Speaker 14>exactly what you expect, that there is a comfortable relationship

0:27:37.960 --> 0:27:43.000
<v Speaker 14>of either aid officials being HAMAS members or HAMAS members

0:27:43.200 --> 0:27:44.919
<v Speaker 14>making sure that they can infiltrate this.

0:27:45.240 --> 0:27:45.399
<v Speaker 8>You know.

0:27:45.440 --> 0:27:50.040
<v Speaker 14>It's also very interesting some HAMAS Ministry of Interior documents

0:27:50.080 --> 0:27:53.000
<v Speaker 14>recently came to Earth and what they showed is HAMAS

0:27:53.080 --> 0:27:56.119
<v Speaker 14>kits keeps lists of aid workers and they make notes

0:27:56.160 --> 0:27:58.920
<v Speaker 14>on there. It's very interesting to see we can work

0:27:58.960 --> 0:28:02.359
<v Speaker 14>with this person. This person has expressed support for Hermas.

0:28:02.400 --> 0:28:05.239
<v Speaker 14>This person is not willing to work with us. So

0:28:05.520 --> 0:28:10.320
<v Speaker 14>they had a really thorough system and extensive system for

0:28:10.480 --> 0:28:15.960
<v Speaker 14>checking how they could manufacture support within aid agencies.

0:28:16.800 --> 0:28:18.920
<v Speaker 2>All right, final question, I'll give you the last word

0:28:19.000 --> 0:28:23.479
<v Speaker 2>fifteen seconds. Bottom line, Can we as we sit here today,

0:28:23.720 --> 0:28:29.840
<v Speaker 2>safely deliver humanitarian aid into Gaza without Hamas benefiting from it?

0:28:29.920 --> 0:28:30.359
<v Speaker 3>Right now?

0:28:31.760 --> 0:28:34.920
<v Speaker 14>There's one primary solution. That's to remove Hamas control from

0:28:34.960 --> 0:28:37.560
<v Speaker 14>the Gaza strip. That's the only way to fully ensure

0:28:37.600 --> 0:28:40.200
<v Speaker 14>Hamas does not get its hands on it. The only

0:28:40.240 --> 0:28:42.960
<v Speaker 14>way to ensure it is for Hermas to go, for

0:28:43.040 --> 0:28:45.800
<v Speaker 14>all of its officials to lay down their arms, remove

0:28:45.840 --> 0:28:50.400
<v Speaker 14>themselves from government, and potentially go elsewhere depending on what

0:28:50.480 --> 0:28:53.040
<v Speaker 14>the final peace plan is. But if AMAS is there,

0:28:53.240 --> 0:28:55.440
<v Speaker 14>Amas will try to steal eight. They're doing it now.

0:28:56.480 --> 0:28:59.440

<v Speaker 3>All right, I've had.

0:30:32.040 --> 0:30:36.200
<v Speaker 2>This one on my pile of things to discuss with

0:30:36.360 --> 0:30:39.360
<v Speaker 2>you for several days now, but then I went on

<v Speaker 2>chickens in the Jennings backyard area. We love our chickens.

0:31:01.640 --> 0:31:04.440
<v Speaker 2>We've been doing the chickens now for several years. We

0:31:04.560 --> 0:31:07.600
<v Speaker 2>started with six. Now we have over thirty. They call

0:31:07.680 --> 0:31:09.880
<v Speaker 2>it chicken math. Sure some of you out there know

0:31:10.560 --> 0:31:14.560
<v Speaker 2>what it's like. But I was more than pleased recently

0:31:15.320 --> 0:31:18.800
<v Speaker 2>when the Vice President of the United States had a

0:31:18.960 --> 0:31:23.040
<v Speaker 2>chicken coop of his own constructed at the Naval Observatory

0:31:23.120 --> 0:31:24.320
<v Speaker 2>in Northwest Washington.

0:31:24.360 --> 0:31:26.720
<v Speaker 3>This is where the Vice President lives.

0:31:26.920 --> 0:31:35.120
<v Speaker 2>Finally, we paragons of poultry have true representation in the

0:31:35.160 --> 0:31:36.040
<v Speaker 2>executive branch.

0:31:36.120 --> 0:31:37.600
<v Speaker 3>This is unequivocally a good thing.

0:31:38.800 --> 0:31:44.280
<v Speaker 2>For many years, chicken owners of America have suffered in silence.

0:31:44.480 --> 0:31:50.560
<v Speaker 2>We have no lobbyists, no pack no Cabinet secretary, not

0:31:50.640 --> 0:31:54.480
<v Speaker 2>even a lousy commission. Now we have the vice president.

0:31:56.240 --> 0:32:00.480
<v Speaker 2>Now we're cooking with gas, not the chickens, but metaphorically.

0:32:02.000 --> 0:32:05.960
<v Speaker 2>So I was pleased about this. And then, of course,

0:32:06.640 --> 0:32:12.640
<v Speaker 2>because jad Vance decided to do something incredibly normal these

0:32:12.720 --> 0:32:18.040
<v Speaker 2>days and get some chickens, the Washington Post swooped in

0:32:18.760 --> 0:32:24.360
<v Speaker 2>and decided, we need to attempt to ruin this. We

0:32:24.400 --> 0:32:30.400
<v Speaker 2>need to investigate this. Questions, they say, have been raised

0:32:30.440 --> 0:32:35.760
<v Speaker 2>about the coop and whether all the proper historical preservation

0:32:35.920 --> 0:32:42.000
<v Speaker 2>protocols were followed. It's a chicken coop. Now, it's a

0:32:42.080 --> 0:32:47.000
<v Speaker 2>nice one. I saw it. And if you're within the

0:32:47.040 --> 0:32:49.040
<v Speaker 2>sound of my voice and you have a chicken coop

0:32:49.120 --> 0:32:51.920
<v Speaker 2>in your backyard, dare I say?

0:32:52.040 --> 0:32:52.960
<v Speaker 3>It's likely not.

0:32:54.400 --> 0:32:59.480
<v Speaker 2>As nice or expensive as the one that Jady Vance got.

0:32:59.520 --> 0:33:01.800
<v Speaker 2>But you know what, but he's the vice president. I

0:33:01.800 --> 0:33:04.760
<v Speaker 2>want him to have a nice chicken coop. So the

0:33:04.920 --> 0:33:09.600
<v Speaker 2>Washington Post swoops in. The first thing they did was

0:33:09.640 --> 0:33:15.080
<v Speaker 2>they called the city of DC and they tried to

0:33:15.200 --> 0:33:23.880
<v Speaker 2>get the vice president cited for zoning infractions. They called

0:33:23.960 --> 0:33:30.520
<v Speaker 2>up the zoning people to complain. Here's part of the article.

0:33:31.720 --> 0:33:35.360
<v Speaker 2>I tried to confirm the regulations with a few people

0:33:35.400 --> 0:33:39.640
<v Speaker 2>at DC Health. No one returned my calls or responded

0:33:39.680 --> 0:33:44.480
<v Speaker 2>to my emails, but one city official said DC regulations

0:33:44.520 --> 0:33:48.240
<v Speaker 2>don't typically apply to federal property. He spoke on condition

0:33:48.320 --> 0:33:51.640
<v Speaker 2>of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to talk to the media.

0:33:52.640 --> 0:33:55.440
<v Speaker 2>But locals don't follow the rules either, the official said,

0:33:55.600 --> 0:33:57.280
<v Speaker 2>I know we have plenty of people in the city

0:33:57.360 --> 0:34:02.080
<v Speaker 2>raising chickens on properties that don't meet the requirement. So

0:34:02.240 --> 0:34:03.920
<v Speaker 2>that was the first thing they tried to do. They

0:34:04.000 --> 0:34:07.920
<v Speaker 2>wanted the zoning people in Washington to come and interrupt

0:34:07.920 --> 0:34:13.640
<v Speaker 2>the e Vance family chicken operation. So not satisfied with

0:34:13.719 --> 0:34:20.120
<v Speaker 2>that vector, the Washington Post then called up a chicken expert.

0:34:21.239 --> 0:34:26.960
<v Speaker 2>Now the chicken expert that they called and it's hard

0:34:27.080 --> 0:34:29.520
<v Speaker 2>to believe it, Well, is it? Maybe it's not hard

0:34:29.520 --> 0:34:34.839
<v Speaker 2>to believe they called up a chicken expert, someone who

0:34:34.960 --> 0:34:43.920
<v Speaker 2>uses they them pronouns and uses their chicken as an

0:34:43.960 --> 0:34:49.080
<v Speaker 2>emotional support animal because they have long COVID.

0:34:51.719 --> 0:34:52.239
<v Speaker 3>Bowers.

0:34:52.680 --> 0:34:57.520
<v Speaker 2>The Utah Chicken keeper thinks of their hens. This is crazy.

0:34:58.400 --> 0:35:02.560
<v Speaker 2>It's a single person, like a singular human being that

0:35:02.640 --> 0:35:05.120
<v Speaker 2>we have to refer to as there because of the

0:35:05.160 --> 0:35:09.800
<v Speaker 2>pronouns Bowers, the Utah chicken keeper, thinks of their hens,

0:35:10.680 --> 0:35:15.680
<v Speaker 2>especially a bearded white silky bantam named Karen, of course,

0:35:16.320 --> 0:35:19.680
<v Speaker 2>almost as emotional support animals. When Bowers is having a

0:35:19.719 --> 0:35:25.160
<v Speaker 2>particularly bad day, they meaning the person suffer chronic pain

0:35:25.280 --> 0:35:30.080
<v Speaker 2>from several autoimmune disorders, they cuddle up with care and

0:35:30.160 --> 0:35:38.560
<v Speaker 2>the chicken so zoning and they them. That's who the

0:35:38.600 --> 0:35:41.719
<v Speaker 2>Washington Post called to try to make trouble for JD.

0:35:41.880 --> 0:35:42.240
<v Speaker 3>Vanswell.

0:35:42.320 --> 0:35:46.720
<v Speaker 2>I salute the Vice president on this. Godspeed, mister Vice President,

0:35:46.760 --> 0:35:49.160
<v Speaker 2>and to your chickens, best wishes.

0:35:49.480 --> 0:35:50.360
<v Speaker 3>It's a great hobby.

0:35:50.480 --> 0:35:54.680
<v Speaker 2>More after this, before we do a quick check of

0:35:54.760 --> 0:35:58.600
<v Speaker 2>the headlines. Sometimes people write me questions. One of the questions,

0:35:58.640 --> 0:36:01.239
<v Speaker 2>believe it or not, is often Scott, what do you

0:36:01.360 --> 0:36:04.759
<v Speaker 2>do in the commercial breaks? When you're just sitting there

0:36:04.800 --> 0:36:07.200
<v Speaker 2>and we're listening to the commercials and we're waiting for you.

0:36:07.200 --> 0:36:10.640
<v Speaker 3>To come back on, what do you do? Let me

0:36:10.640 --> 0:36:13.840
<v Speaker 3>tell you what I'm doing. I sign books.

0:36:14.719 --> 0:36:19.560
<v Speaker 2>Literally, I have lists upon lists of books that people

0:36:19.640 --> 0:36:20.440
<v Speaker 2>want me to sign.

0:36:21.000 --> 0:36:22.719
<v Speaker 3>A Revolution of Common Sense. Now.

0:36:22.719 --> 0:36:24.680
<v Speaker 2>It came out last November. It was a New York

0:36:24.719 --> 0:36:28.120
<v Speaker 2>Times bestseller. You can still get it on Amazon, I'm

0:36:28.160 --> 0:36:32.320
<v Speaker 2>sure at a fair price these days. But I signed books,

0:36:32.960 --> 0:36:34.959
<v Speaker 2>and I'm sitting here. How many we got to sign?

0:36:35.239 --> 0:36:35.920
<v Speaker 3>Like one hundred?

0:36:36.440 --> 0:36:38.800
<v Speaker 2>Literally, I'm going to sign like one hundred books. Anyway,

0:36:38.880 --> 0:36:41.440
<v Speaker 2>that's what we're doing. Quick check of the headlines. The

0:36:41.480 --> 0:36:46.160
<v Speaker 2>Senate has honored Lindsey Graham by passing the final significant

0:36:46.160 --> 0:36:48.799
<v Speaker 2>bill that he was authoring a series of major sanctions

0:36:48.840 --> 0:36:52.200
<v Speaker 2>on Russia and some that target Iran, in a landslide

0:36:52.239 --> 0:36:55.960
<v Speaker 2>eighty six to eleven vote. Key issue here is that

0:36:56.000 --> 0:37:00.080
<v Speaker 2>the President is authorized in this legislation to levy a

0:37:00.120 --> 0:37:03.680
<v Speaker 2>one hundred percent tariff on imported Russian oil. The critical

0:37:03.920 --> 0:37:06.760
<v Speaker 2>bill now goes over to the House. Hope it passes there.

0:37:07.000 --> 0:37:10.240
<v Speaker 2>Power is changing hands. In Columbia, the second largest country

0:37:10.280 --> 0:37:15.440
<v Speaker 2>in South America, today, Ablardo de la Epraia was inaugurated

0:37:15.480 --> 0:37:19.919
<v Speaker 2>as the country's thirty sixth president. He's a fire brand conservative,

0:37:20.040 --> 0:37:25.040
<v Speaker 2>ardently pro Israel, anti cartel, anti Marxist, and he's taking

0:37:25.080 --> 0:37:29.240
<v Speaker 2>over for a communist named Gustavo Petro. This is another country,

0:37:29.600 --> 0:37:32.320
<v Speaker 2>yet another country, I should say, in South and Central

0:37:32.360 --> 0:37:37.839
<v Speaker 2>America rejecting communism in favor of common sense. And as

0:37:37.880 --> 0:37:40.480
<v Speaker 2>the midterms get closer and closer here in the United States,

0:37:40.520 --> 0:37:42.840
<v Speaker 2>we hear at the Scott Jennings Show are going to

0:37:42.840 --> 0:37:46.800
<v Speaker 2>be covering the most competitive house races that will determine

0:37:46.800 --> 0:37:50.160
<v Speaker 2>who controls Congress after November. Today we take you to

0:37:50.200 --> 0:37:54.000
<v Speaker 2>the land of Enchantment, New Mexico, to cover one of

0:37:54.040 --> 0:37:57.640
<v Speaker 2>the most competitive House elections this cycle.

0:37:57.760 --> 0:38:00.200
<v Speaker 3>It is the second district in New Mexico CO.

0:38:00.800 --> 0:38:06.120
<v Speaker 2>The candidates are Greg Cunningham, the Republican, versus Gabe Vasquez,

0:38:06.800 --> 0:38:10.000
<v Speaker 2>the incumbent Democrat. Let's take a listen to what Greg

0:38:10.080 --> 0:38:12.680
<v Speaker 2>Cunningham is telling the people of New Mexico.

0:38:12.840 --> 0:38:13.520
<v Speaker 3>Cut one.

0:38:14.200 --> 0:38:16.520
<v Speaker 7>We need someone in there that one they look you

0:38:16.560 --> 0:38:19.520
<v Speaker 7>in the eye and they tell you something that you know.

0:38:19.600 --> 0:38:22.839
<v Speaker 7>They need the old adage that say what you mean?

0:38:23.040 --> 0:38:25.800
<v Speaker 7>You mean what you say. I made a career on

0:38:25.840 --> 0:38:27.960
<v Speaker 7>a life on that and so i have a job

0:38:28.040 --> 0:38:31.600
<v Speaker 7>to do, a mission to finish, and I'm committed to

0:38:31.680 --> 0:38:32.000
<v Speaker 7>doing that.

0:38:32.239 --> 0:38:38.000
<v Speaker 4>From the sea.

0:38:38.200 --> 0:38:40.640
<v Speaker 2>And joining me now to discuss the campaign is that

0:38:40.760 --> 0:38:44.400
<v Speaker 2>Republican named Greg Cunningham. This is New Mexico's second district. Greg,

0:38:44.480 --> 0:38:46.239
<v Speaker 2>welcome in to the Scott Jennings Show.

0:38:47.760 --> 0:38:49.640
<v Speaker 7>Oh well, thank you for having me. I'm honored.

0:38:50.600 --> 0:38:53.080
<v Speaker 2>Well I'm glad you're here and glad you're running now.

0:38:53.120 --> 0:38:56.200
<v Speaker 2>You have an interesting background. You are a in the Marines,

0:38:56.239 --> 0:38:58.320
<v Speaker 2>you're a lieutenant colonel, You're a combat veteran.

0:38:58.800 --> 0:39:00.320
<v Speaker 3>You've been a small business owner.

0:39:00.920 --> 0:39:06.120
<v Speaker 2>You were even once embedded undercover with the cartel.

0:39:06.920 --> 0:39:08.439
<v Speaker 3>I want you to talk to us about your.

0:39:08.360 --> 0:39:11.719
<v Speaker 2>Life story and what led up to you getting into

0:39:11.719 --> 0:39:12.840
<v Speaker 2>this political campaign.

0:39:14.360 --> 0:39:18.000
<v Speaker 7>Ah, well, thank you. I was the only thing I

0:39:18.000 --> 0:39:21.640
<v Speaker 7>will take umbrage with. And I was an enlisted man

0:39:21.680 --> 0:39:25.280
<v Speaker 7>in the Marines. I was not an officer. I actually

0:39:25.360 --> 0:39:28.000
<v Speaker 7>worked for a living. That's what we say in the Marine.

0:39:28.560 --> 0:39:29.200
<v Speaker 3>Got it all right?

0:39:29.200 --> 0:39:36.000
<v Speaker 7>I understood, yes, sir, and again. Born and raised in Albuquerque,

0:39:36.520 --> 0:39:39.400
<v Speaker 7>A former combat Marine. I was in Desert Storm and

0:39:39.400 --> 0:39:42.840
<v Speaker 7>got my combat action ribbon there Albuquerque and police farment

0:39:42.920 --> 0:39:47.919
<v Speaker 7>twenty two years, started my own business, six children, nine grandchildren.

0:39:48.080 --> 0:39:49.000
<v Speaker 4>My path here is.

0:39:49.040 --> 0:39:53.560
<v Speaker 7>A blue collar working path, and I'm very proud of that.

0:39:54.040 --> 0:39:56.680
<v Speaker 7>I did a lot of undercover work to include work

0:39:56.760 --> 0:40:00.200
<v Speaker 7>with we called it Black Block at the time, was

0:40:00.200 --> 0:40:03.560
<v Speaker 7>the precursor to Antifa. So I have actually done undercover

0:40:04.360 --> 0:40:07.880
<v Speaker 7>with what people are calling now protesters, which we know

0:40:08.600 --> 0:40:14.160
<v Speaker 7>really they are anarchists. They're paid agitators. I have done

0:40:14.239 --> 0:40:18.040
<v Speaker 7>undercover work at the border. I have done Title threes,

0:40:18.719 --> 0:40:22.000
<v Speaker 7>which are wire taps. So I have a very personal

0:40:22.120 --> 0:40:26.879
<v Speaker 7>hands on experience with the border and how to get

0:40:26.920 --> 0:40:29.880
<v Speaker 7>control of that and how to provide a safe future

0:40:29.920 --> 0:40:31.600
<v Speaker 7>for our children and grandchildren.

0:40:32.760 --> 0:40:36.040
<v Speaker 2>Well, this issue of the border and border control and

0:40:36.080 --> 0:40:38.640
<v Speaker 2>border security and what we're going to do about it

0:40:38.640 --> 0:40:41.880
<v Speaker 2>has become a central issue in your campaign. Your opponent,

0:40:42.000 --> 0:40:46.000
<v Speaker 2>Gabe Vesquez, says the border wall is a ridiculous waste

0:40:46.000 --> 0:40:47.400
<v Speaker 2>of money. I want you to listen to this and

0:40:47.400 --> 0:40:48.200
<v Speaker 2>we'll get your reaction.

0:40:48.320 --> 0:40:49.040
<v Speaker 3>Cut three.

0:40:51.280 --> 0:40:54.680
<v Speaker 6>I also read that you're opposed to some border wall construction.

0:40:55.320 --> 0:41:00.160
<v Speaker 6>We know the transport wall construction in New Mexicolachlin, the

0:41:00.320 --> 0:41:04.920
<v Speaker 6>Solon Park, New Mexico area, but there's also a new

0:41:04.960 --> 0:41:07.920
<v Speaker 6>construction that was announced in a very remote part of

0:41:07.920 --> 0:41:10.680
<v Speaker 6>the state. The board is a very remote, remote part

0:41:10.680 --> 0:41:12.799
<v Speaker 6>of Mexico as well, and that is a bookshel of

0:41:12.840 --> 0:41:15.279
<v Speaker 6>New Mexico. Can you tell us about your concerns there?

0:41:16.880 --> 0:41:19.360
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I can tell you it's a ridiculous waste of money.

0:41:20.920 --> 0:41:24.160
<v Speaker 3>Ridiculous waste of money or necessary? What do you think, Greg?

0:41:25.480 --> 0:41:28.719
<v Speaker 7>Oh, my gosh, I can tell you from first hand experience,

0:41:28.760 --> 0:41:34.880
<v Speaker 7>it is necessary, absolutely necessary. It's and again a ridiculous

0:41:34.880 --> 0:41:41.879
<v Speaker 7>waste of money. How much what is our safety worth?

0:41:42.120 --> 0:41:45.920
<v Speaker 7>What are our wives going to the store and our

0:41:46.000 --> 0:41:49.960
<v Speaker 7>children in school and are being able to walk your

0:41:49.960 --> 0:41:53.160
<v Speaker 7>neighborhood at night? How much is that worth? What's the

0:41:53.200 --> 0:41:55.200
<v Speaker 7>cost that we put on that? And so I would

0:41:55.280 --> 0:41:59.160
<v Speaker 7>say that anything we do to provide those things for

0:41:59.239 --> 0:42:02.719
<v Speaker 7>our family and our people here in New Mexico, it's

0:42:02.760 --> 0:42:03.520
<v Speaker 7>not about cost.

0:42:03.560 --> 0:42:03.840
<v Speaker 4>For me.

0:42:05.560 --> 0:42:07.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think of all the things that the government

0:42:07.920 --> 0:42:11.359
<v Speaker 2>spends money on, and the thing that you would want

0:42:11.400 --> 0:42:15.080
<v Speaker 2>it to spend money on always and the most is

0:42:15.520 --> 0:42:18.200
<v Speaker 2>the security of the American people. I mean, what else

0:42:18.239 --> 0:42:20.120
<v Speaker 2>is the purpose of government, you know, if we're not

0:42:20.120 --> 0:42:22.120
<v Speaker 2>going to secure our border and protect our people.

0:42:22.120 --> 0:42:24.000
<v Speaker 3>And of course New Mexico, I mean.

0:42:23.880 --> 0:42:27.120
<v Speaker 2>How many how many miles of border does your district

0:42:27.200 --> 0:42:28.800
<v Speaker 2>have here? Like it's got to be one hundred and

0:42:28.800 --> 0:42:32.480
<v Speaker 2>two hundred miles something And so this isn't a far

0:42:32.520 --> 0:42:35.400
<v Speaker 2>away issue for people in this district. This is something

0:42:35.400 --> 0:42:38.720
<v Speaker 2>happening every single day.

0:42:39.520 --> 0:42:41.560
<v Speaker 7>I don't know the exact number, and I don't want

0:42:41.600 --> 0:42:44.800
<v Speaker 7>to guess because as a detective, I've learned guessing is

0:42:44.800 --> 0:42:47.320
<v Speaker 7>a bad thing. I know, it's over four hundred miles,

0:42:47.320 --> 0:42:51.080
<v Speaker 7>so it's vast. We have a ton here.

0:42:51.000 --> 0:42:51.320
<v Speaker 10>And.

0:42:52.960 --> 0:42:57.320
<v Speaker 7>The cartels utilize every mile of that to their advantage.

0:42:57.440 --> 0:43:00.920
<v Speaker 7>I mean, people American needs to understand and that the

0:43:00.960 --> 0:43:05.839
<v Speaker 7>cartels are a national security threat. You know, the administration

0:43:06.000 --> 0:43:09.560
<v Speaker 7>did a great job at ending the catch and release

0:43:09.680 --> 0:43:13.399
<v Speaker 7>people coming across the border, the open border, that's step one,

0:43:14.160 --> 0:43:18.359
<v Speaker 7>but the same challenges and obstacles that I faced as

0:43:18.360 --> 0:43:24.360
<v Speaker 7>a detective are still there and the cartels. Again, people

0:43:24.600 --> 0:43:28.840
<v Speaker 7>America just needs to understand. We Please remember I'm a

0:43:28.880 --> 0:43:33.040
<v Speaker 7>former marine, so my verbiage can be we're at war

0:43:33.239 --> 0:43:34.719
<v Speaker 7>with them. I mean, if we're going to call it

0:43:34.760 --> 0:43:38.480
<v Speaker 7>the war on drugs, let's extrapolate that to the reality.

0:43:38.520 --> 0:43:41.239
<v Speaker 7>The reality is is we're at war with the cartels.

0:43:41.960 --> 0:43:47.160
<v Speaker 7>They are in essence, they are poisoning our children in

0:43:47.239 --> 0:43:49.960
<v Speaker 7>the name of profit, and I won't allow it anymore.

0:43:51.080 --> 0:43:51.480
<v Speaker 3>All Right.

0:43:51.480 --> 0:43:54.640
<v Speaker 2>Our guest today is Greg Cunningham, running for Congress in

0:43:54.680 --> 0:43:57.319
<v Speaker 2>New Mexico's second district. We've got about a minute left here, Greg,

0:43:57.360 --> 0:43:59.279
<v Speaker 2>I want to give you the last word. I know,

0:43:59.360 --> 0:44:02.560
<v Speaker 2>border security and immigration control is a big issue but

0:44:02.600 --> 0:44:06.200
<v Speaker 2>also the economy, quality of life. These things are also

0:44:06.320 --> 0:44:09.040
<v Speaker 2>important to you give us the pitch. Why should voters

0:44:09.040 --> 0:44:12.040
<v Speaker 2>here throw out the Democrat and go back to the Republicans.

0:44:13.560 --> 0:44:16.759
<v Speaker 7>Well, I think a lot of times sometimes and I'll

0:44:16.920 --> 0:44:19.440
<v Speaker 7>try to speak quickly, which I'm half Tennessee, and so

0:44:19.520 --> 0:44:27.680
<v Speaker 7>that's hard for me. Is basically, nothing happens until we

0:44:27.760 --> 0:44:31.200
<v Speaker 7>have the chaos ended, until we have our border secure,

0:44:31.280 --> 0:44:37.359
<v Speaker 7>our street secure, the chaos done. Business, school, education, none

0:44:37.400 --> 0:44:39.960
<v Speaker 7>of those things are going to matter. And so my wheelhouse,

0:44:40.040 --> 0:44:43.759
<v Speaker 7>my expertise is public safety and getting things done. I'm

0:44:43.800 --> 0:44:47.080
<v Speaker 7>a problem solver and so and so when people talk

0:44:47.120 --> 0:44:52.200
<v Speaker 7>about what are your policies, it's it's so it's tempting

0:44:52.239 --> 0:44:54.880
<v Speaker 7>me to just to look at gay Boscaz and say,

0:44:55.320 --> 0:44:58.680
<v Speaker 7>whatever that guy is, I'm the exact opposite. And that's

0:44:58.719 --> 0:45:01.919
<v Speaker 7>the truth. And it only is that simple. I am

0:45:02.200 --> 0:45:05.719
<v Speaker 7>the exact I'm the antithesis of Gaye Bosca is in

0:45:05.840 --> 0:45:08.680
<v Speaker 7>every way, shape and form, and I take great pride

0:45:08.719 --> 0:45:08.920
<v Speaker 7>in that.

0:45:09.800 --> 0:45:12.760
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's hard to have prosperity without safety, and obviously

0:45:12.840 --> 0:45:16.120
<v Speaker 2>you embody that. Greg Cunningham running for Congress in New Mexico.

0:45:16.200 --> 0:45:18.600
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for sharing some time with us today on the

0:45:18.640 --> 0:45:20.879
<v Speaker 2>Scott Jennings Show. We're going to take a break. When

0:45:20.920 --> 0:45:23.520
<v Speaker 2>we come back the relief Factor Pain of the Week.

0:45:23.560 --> 0:45:25.319
<v Speaker 2>Who will it be? Find out after this?

0:45:25.560 --> 0:45:28.719
<v Speaker 4>If the leftists haven't had enough yet? There's more. This

0:45:28.800 --> 0:45:30.040
<v Speaker 4>is the Scott Jenny Show.

0:45:31.320 --> 0:45:35.000
<v Speaker 2>It's Friday, August the seventh, Common Sense for the American People.

<v Speaker 2>to Washington this weekend. If you're at the Young America's Foundation,

0:45:47.040 --> 0:45:50.720
<v Speaker 2>I'll be delivering the big speech Saturday night in Washington,

0:45:50.800 --> 0:45:51.040
<v Speaker 2>d C.

0:45:51.200 --> 0:45:52.319
<v Speaker 3>We'll look forward to doing that.

0:45:53.000 --> 0:45:57.160
<v Speaker 2>But it is Friday afternoon, and it is twenty two

0:45:57.200 --> 0:46:00.000
<v Speaker 2>minutes past the hour, and you know what that means.

0:46:00.000 --> 0:46:03.920
<v Speaker 2>Means Hollywood, Shawn, It's time for the Relief Factor Pain

0:46:04.000 --> 0:46:04.359
<v Speaker 2>of the Week.

0:46:05.640 --> 0:46:07.319
<v Speaker 6>And no, the.

0:46:07.480 --> 0:46:10.400
<v Speaker 4>Relief Factor Pain of the Week.

0:46:13.320 --> 0:46:16.600
<v Speaker 2>All right, this week's relief Factor Pain of the Week

0:46:16.640 --> 0:46:20.080
<v Speaker 2>comes to us from the great state of Wisconsin, where

0:46:20.080 --> 0:46:23.920
<v Speaker 2>Democrats are apparently looking at everything that has gone wrong

0:46:24.040 --> 0:46:26.640
<v Speaker 2>for their party over the last few years and saying,

0:46:27.800 --> 0:46:30.760
<v Speaker 2>you know what, we just haven't quite.

0:46:30.600 --> 0:46:32.240
<v Speaker 3>Gone far enough.

0:46:32.480 --> 0:46:38.520
<v Speaker 2>I want you to meet Francesca Hong, state legislator, chef

0:46:39.480 --> 0:46:44.320
<v Speaker 2>Democratic Socialist and currently leading in the race to become

0:46:44.320 --> 0:46:48.160
<v Speaker 2>the Democratic nominee for governor of Wisconsin. And boy does

0:46:48.400 --> 0:46:53.000
<v Speaker 2>Francesca have a record. Back in twenty twenty, she declared,

0:46:53.920 --> 0:46:58.759
<v Speaker 2>I support defunding the police as a first step towards

0:46:58.920 --> 0:47:04.880
<v Speaker 2>abolishing the police. She said police exists to quote uphold

0:47:05.040 --> 0:47:11.320
<v Speaker 2>white supremacy. She supports abolishing ice, She talks about abolishing prisons.

0:47:11.680 --> 0:47:15.800
<v Speaker 2>She's called for abolishing the United States Senate, which, frankly,

0:47:16.280 --> 0:47:19.000
<v Speaker 2>you're running for governor of Wisconsin, seems a little ambitious

0:47:19.000 --> 0:47:22.160
<v Speaker 2>to me. But she's got big dreams and big plans

0:47:22.280 --> 0:47:31.320
<v Speaker 2>for our country. So police gone, immigration control gone, prisons gone,

0:47:32.000 --> 0:47:34.840
<v Speaker 2>Senate gone.

0:47:35.000 --> 0:47:38.040
<v Speaker 3>But don't worry. There's more.

0:47:39.480 --> 0:47:43.040
<v Speaker 2>She also said that she hated Thanksgiving so much, in fact,

0:47:43.840 --> 0:47:44.920
<v Speaker 2>that it should be canceled.

0:47:45.000 --> 0:47:46.320
<v Speaker 3>Let's hear that in cut eleven.

0:47:46.680 --> 0:47:50.120
<v Speaker 7>Thanksgiving is also a time that's incredibly painful for many

0:47:50.160 --> 0:47:51.520
<v Speaker 7>people in our communities.

0:47:52.960 --> 0:47:56.320
<v Speaker 2>Painful. I mean, I'm gonna be honest. I was talking

0:47:56.360 --> 0:47:59.480
<v Speaker 2>about this with some people. There are people out there

0:47:59.480 --> 0:48:02.440
<v Speaker 2>that have to spend Thanksgiving with people that yeah, it

0:48:02.480 --> 0:48:05.960
<v Speaker 2>is painful for them. I don't think that's what she means. However,

0:48:06.480 --> 0:48:08.160
<v Speaker 2>but she got a lot of flak for saying she

0:48:08.200 --> 0:48:14.200
<v Speaker 2>wanted to cancel Thanksgiving. Now, after that criticism came in,

0:48:14.280 --> 0:48:16.400
<v Speaker 2>she says, you know what, I actually love Thanksgiving?

0:48:16.400 --> 0:48:17.080
<v Speaker 3>Cut thirteen.

0:48:17.600 --> 0:48:21.359
<v Speaker 12>My favorite holiday is.

0:48:22.760 --> 0:48:26.680
<v Speaker 14>Thanksgiving because I have it.

0:48:27.440 --> 0:48:30.799
<v Speaker 4>Yep, I don't want to cancel it. I actually love it.

0:48:32.040 --> 0:48:35.319
<v Speaker 2>Okay, we went from hating and canceling Thanksgiving to you

0:48:35.360 --> 0:48:39.440
<v Speaker 2>know what, I love Thanksgiving. I'll let you decide in

0:48:39.480 --> 0:48:42.319
<v Speaker 2>which case she's letting out her true feelings. It is

0:48:42.360 --> 0:48:47.040
<v Speaker 2>amazing what running statewide in Wisconsin can do for your

0:48:47.480 --> 0:48:51.359
<v Speaker 2>appreciation of pumpkin pie. I guess she's doing the same thing.

0:48:51.400 --> 0:48:55.480
<v Speaker 2>On policing, however, she said that defunding the police was

0:48:55.520 --> 0:48:58.960
<v Speaker 2>the first step towards abolishing the police. Now she says, oh, no,

0:49:00.120 --> 0:49:05.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm serious about public safety. Well, congratulations. So we're about

0:49:05.920 --> 0:49:10.239
<v Speaker 2>ninety eight percent of everybody in America. This woman is

0:49:10.320 --> 0:49:16.760
<v Speaker 2>a socialist, Hong, She's running as a socialist. You would

0:49:16.800 --> 0:49:21.080
<v Speaker 2>think that the most famous socialist in America right now

0:49:22.840 --> 0:49:25.799
<v Speaker 2>would be thrilled. Hey, we got a socialist running for

0:49:25.880 --> 0:49:28.920
<v Speaker 2>governor with a chance to win. In Wisconsin. I'm happy,

0:49:30.320 --> 0:49:35.239
<v Speaker 2>but no, that's actually not the case. Bernie Sanders was

0:49:35.280 --> 0:49:39.520
<v Speaker 2>asked about endorsing this woman this week, and he said, basically,

0:49:41.120 --> 0:49:44.040
<v Speaker 2>I don't know enough about the race to get involved.

0:49:44.960 --> 0:49:49.560
<v Speaker 2>Do you know how crazy you have to be for

0:49:49.680 --> 0:49:54.799
<v Speaker 2>Bernie Sanders to back away from endorsing you if you

0:49:54.960 --> 0:50:00.640
<v Speaker 2>are expressing his socialist views? How far left off the

0:50:00.719 --> 0:50:05.120
<v Speaker 2>reservation do you have to wander before Bernie Sanders pretends

0:50:05.200 --> 0:50:09.439
<v Speaker 2>he's never heard of Wisconsin. It's like getting kicked off

0:50:09.440 --> 0:50:14.640
<v Speaker 2>of Willie Nelson's concert bus tour for smelling like marijuana.

0:50:14.760 --> 0:50:21.239
<v Speaker 2>I mean, Francesca Hong the perfect avatar for the Democratic

0:50:21.280 --> 0:50:26.080
<v Speaker 2>Party's problem right now. They said crazy things when they

0:50:26.080 --> 0:50:29.400
<v Speaker 2>thought crazy things were fashionable, and they said that because

0:50:29.400 --> 0:50:33.759
<v Speaker 2>they believe it. Defund the police, abolish ice, canceled Thanksgiving.

0:50:34.840 --> 0:50:37.200
<v Speaker 2>Now that voters are paying attention and we've all come

0:50:37.239 --> 0:50:40.760
<v Speaker 2>to our senses again, suddenly everybody wants to run away

0:50:40.840 --> 0:50:42.640
<v Speaker 2>from their true feelings and say.

0:50:42.440 --> 0:50:46.920
<v Speaker 3>No, no, no, no, I just care about affordability. I don't

0:50:46.960 --> 0:50:50.320
<v Speaker 3>necessarily want you to get murdered in the streets. They say.

0:50:51.120 --> 0:50:52.920
<v Speaker 2>You know, the great thing about the Internet is that

0:50:52.960 --> 0:50:56.560
<v Speaker 2>it keeps receipts, and this week Francesca Hong is learning

0:50:56.600 --> 0:50:59.279
<v Speaker 2>a painful lesson. You can delete the tweets, but you

0:50:59.440 --> 0:51:02.480
<v Speaker 2>cannot elite the crazy. And that is why Francesca Hong,

0:51:02.600 --> 0:51:05.919
<v Speaker 2>you are the relief factor Pain of the week.

0:51:06.120 --> 0:51:09.240
<v Speaker 4>That's their relief factor. Pain of the Week.

0:51:10.280 --> 0:51:14.360
<v Speaker 11>Scott Juttings surial pain and the agenda for the lefties?

0:51:14.600 --> 0:51:17.279
<v Speaker 11>Do you want to drive a leftist crazy? Tell the

0:51:17.320 --> 0:51:20.960
<v Speaker 11>truth and keep smiling. This is the Scott Jetting.

0:51:20.719 --> 0:51:27.120
<v Speaker 2>Show, Friday, August, the seventh home stretch of the week

0:51:27.239 --> 0:51:31.240
<v Speaker 2>that was, and to go over it all, we'll engage

0:51:31.239 --> 0:51:32.960
<v Speaker 2>in our traditional Friday punditry.

0:51:32.960 --> 0:51:34.480
<v Speaker 3>Our pundit of the week this week is.

0:51:34.520 --> 0:51:38.440
<v Speaker 2>Saraj Hashmi, who is I think one of the funnier

0:51:38.520 --> 0:51:42.040
<v Speaker 2>guys on the Internet. Long history of expertly trolling the

0:51:42.120 --> 0:51:45.560
<v Speaker 2>left and occasionally some on the right, all part of

0:51:45.600 --> 0:51:51.000
<v Speaker 2>his job as these senior media strategists, senior digital strategist,

0:51:51.080 --> 0:51:52.360
<v Speaker 2>digital media strategist.

0:51:53.200 --> 0:51:56.239
<v Speaker 3>Now that I butchered that down Hall News.

0:51:57.680 --> 0:52:01.880
<v Speaker 2>Making his inaugural appearance on the Scot Jetting Show, Sarage Hashmi, Sarage,

0:52:01.880 --> 0:52:03.320

<v Speaker 4>Thank you so much. For having me brother.

0:52:07.400 --> 0:52:08.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, this is great.

0:52:08.840 --> 0:52:11.040
<v Speaker 2>You know I should tell the audience we don't really

0:52:11.040 --> 0:52:13.080
<v Speaker 2>know each other. I know you from the Internet, and

0:52:13.120 --> 0:52:18.840
<v Speaker 2>I am constantly chuckling at your insights and takes and observations.

0:52:19.360 --> 0:52:22.000
<v Speaker 2>And then I was pleased to see that our friends

0:52:22.000 --> 0:52:24.759
<v Speaker 2>at town Hall had decided to bring you in. Why

0:52:24.800 --> 0:52:28.000
<v Speaker 2>don't we start there. Let's get the Sarage story. You

0:52:28.080 --> 0:52:31.840
<v Speaker 2>haven't always been a conservative. You've had You've been on

0:52:31.880 --> 0:52:34.680
<v Speaker 2>a little journey, but now you find yourself at one

0:52:34.719 --> 0:52:37.239
<v Speaker 2>of the most important conservative websites, town Hall.

0:52:37.480 --> 0:52:38.480
<v Speaker 3>Tell us about yourself.

0:52:40.200 --> 0:52:42.759
<v Speaker 5>It's an interesting journey. I don't know how much time

0:52:42.840 --> 0:52:44.759
<v Speaker 5>you want me to share and spend on it, but

0:52:44.880 --> 0:52:48.440
<v Speaker 5>I'll be very brief. I started off as very liberal,

0:52:48.600 --> 0:52:51.440
<v Speaker 5>you know, very very much, protesting the Iraq War in

0:52:52.239 --> 0:52:55.520
<v Speaker 5>the two thousands, you know, voting for Barack Obama twice,

0:52:55.840 --> 0:53:00.600
<v Speaker 5>even voting for Hillary Clinton in twenty sixteen, and slowly

0:53:00.640 --> 0:53:04.640
<v Speaker 5>but surely things that Democrats did, Like in twenty sixteen,

0:53:05.000 --> 0:53:08.320
<v Speaker 5>if you remember the Pulse nightclub shooting, they had this proposal,

0:53:08.400 --> 0:53:11.400
<v Speaker 5>the no fly, no by Gum proposal, And originally, you know,

0:53:11.440 --> 0:53:13.840
<v Speaker 5>with a name like mine, that probably would get swept

0:53:13.920 --> 0:53:16.759
<v Speaker 5>up in that based on the arbitrary government watch list, right,

0:53:17.280 --> 0:53:19.560
<v Speaker 5>So that was the first crack in the damn. And

0:53:19.560 --> 0:53:23.080
<v Speaker 5>then I became very much pro to Second Amendment. And yeah,

0:53:23.120 --> 0:53:25.359
<v Speaker 5>I still had a lot of more liberal leanings, and

0:53:25.400 --> 0:53:28.680
<v Speaker 5>I bought into sort of the misinformation and disinformation just

0:53:28.719 --> 0:53:32.080
<v Speaker 5>straight up you know, media slander of Donald Trump. And

0:53:32.760 --> 0:53:37.000
<v Speaker 5>then over the course of Trump's first term, what really

0:53:37.040 --> 0:53:39.760
<v Speaker 5>sort of, you know, I couldn't deny was that Trump

0:53:39.840 --> 0:53:42.480
<v Speaker 5>was actually really funny and everything he did, whether it

0:53:42.480 --> 0:53:45.600
<v Speaker 5>was wittingly or unwittingly, the guy was just hysterical. And

0:53:45.840 --> 0:53:49.320
<v Speaker 5>from there it sort of boiled over to COVID happening.

0:53:49.880 --> 0:53:53.640
<v Speaker 5>Realizing that once as soon as we talk about this

0:53:54.040 --> 0:53:56.719
<v Speaker 5>deal with Fauci in his contempt of Congress, he kind

0:53:56.719 --> 0:54:00.400
<v Speaker 5>of go back all the way to those years and

0:54:01.080 --> 0:54:03.800
<v Speaker 5>specifically when there was everyone has to be on lockdown,

0:54:03.920 --> 0:54:05.400
<v Speaker 5>no one can go out. And then all of a sudden,

0:54:05.400 --> 0:54:07.879
<v Speaker 5>George Floyd happens and it's like all the public health

0:54:07.880 --> 0:54:11.839
<v Speaker 5>officials are like, go protest because systemic racism and white

0:54:11.840 --> 0:54:15.640
<v Speaker 5>supremacy is more of a public health threat than come

0:54:16.080 --> 0:54:18.239
<v Speaker 5>And I was like, that's it. I can't I can't

0:54:18.239 --> 0:54:18.720
<v Speaker 5>do this.

0:54:19.520 --> 0:54:21.719
<v Speaker 3>That moment and nobody wants to talk about it.

0:54:21.760 --> 0:54:24.719
<v Speaker 2>I'm glad you brought it up, but basically, you had

0:54:24.880 --> 0:54:28.640
<v Speaker 2>people with the word doctor in their titles saying, effectively

0:54:28.840 --> 0:54:35.759
<v Speaker 2>arguing that the COVID virus could discern your politics and

0:54:35.840 --> 0:54:38.160
<v Speaker 2>would give you a pass if you went out in

0:54:38.239 --> 0:54:42.160
<v Speaker 2>the street to protest something as long as that something

0:54:42.400 --> 0:54:46.400
<v Speaker 2>was judged to be politically moral. At that time, that

0:54:46.560 --> 0:54:50.160
<v Speaker 2>was literally what they were saying out loud to the

0:54:50.200 --> 0:54:52.839
<v Speaker 2>American people. And at that moment, I think a lot

0:54:52.880 --> 0:54:55.600
<v Speaker 2>of us, you, and I think millions of Americans started

0:54:55.640 --> 0:54:59.399
<v Speaker 2>to think, wait a minute, if you're willing to say

0:54:59.520 --> 0:55:02.200
<v Speaker 2>with a st eight phase that out loud to me,

0:55:02.400 --> 0:55:05.240
<v Speaker 2>what of the rest of this is complete in total?

0:55:05.280 --> 0:55:05.720
<v Speaker 3>BS?

0:55:05.760 --> 0:55:08.920
<v Speaker 2>And as we found out from the Anthony Fauci diary,

0:55:09.000 --> 0:55:10.799
<v Speaker 2>a lot of it was BS. Let's start there for

0:55:10.840 --> 0:55:14.919
<v Speaker 2>our Friday punditry, Saraj. I know this was a big

0:55:14.960 --> 0:55:16.759
<v Speaker 2>issue for you back when it was going on. You've

0:55:16.800 --> 0:55:20.080
<v Speaker 2>been following this and making a lot of commentary about it.

0:55:20.640 --> 0:55:22.000
<v Speaker 3>I'll just ask you this question.

0:55:22.640 --> 0:55:25.960
<v Speaker 2>Should Anthony Fauci have answered questions or was he smart

0:55:26.480 --> 0:55:29.680
<v Speaker 2>to take the fifth in front of the Senate Committee.

0:55:31.800 --> 0:55:33.799
<v Speaker 5>I will say, Scott, the one thing that kind of

0:55:33.800 --> 0:55:37.200
<v Speaker 5>gives me pause is that even his liberal champions in

0:55:37.239 --> 0:55:41.760
<v Speaker 5>the media are sort of lamenting the fact that Anthony

0:55:41.760 --> 0:55:45.200
<v Speaker 5>Fauci pled the Fifth one hundred and eleven times in

0:55:45.200 --> 0:55:48.720
<v Speaker 5>front of the Senate Homeland Security Committee because he was granted.

0:55:49.120 --> 0:55:51.440
<v Speaker 5>He was granted the pardon by President Biden on his

0:55:51.480 --> 0:55:54.120
<v Speaker 5>way out, all the way from twenty fourteen up until

0:55:54.160 --> 0:55:56.840
<v Speaker 5>the end of his presidency, so that's a span of

0:55:56.880 --> 0:55:59.240
<v Speaker 5>ten years. That was when the gain of Function research

0:55:59.280 --> 0:56:05.320
<v Speaker 5>really started Muhan Laboratory. And as I think Josh Holly

0:56:05.360 --> 0:56:07.560
<v Speaker 5>so there Josh Holly pointed out, is that you can't

0:56:07.560 --> 0:56:11.120
<v Speaker 5>beleave the Fifth if you've been granted the pardon because legally, like,

0:56:11.480 --> 0:56:15.239
<v Speaker 5>what are you incriminating from incriminating yourself with when you've

0:56:15.280 --> 0:56:19.600
<v Speaker 5>already been given that pardon, So legally speaking, it should

0:56:19.640 --> 0:56:21.239
<v Speaker 5>not hold up the fact that he's being held in

0:56:21.239 --> 0:56:23.480
<v Speaker 5>contempt of Congress. I agree with I think that's the

0:56:23.560 --> 0:56:26.080
<v Speaker 5>right move. I'm kind of disappointed in sending. There's like

0:56:26.160 --> 0:56:28.960
<v Speaker 5>John Featherman, who's been pretty reasonable as of the last

0:56:29.000 --> 0:56:31.240
<v Speaker 5>couple of years to kind of vote along party lines

0:56:31.239 --> 0:56:34.000
<v Speaker 5>and to not hold Fauci and contempt. But that you know,

0:56:34.200 --> 0:56:36.680
<v Speaker 5>that's besides the point, right, Those are you know, little

0:56:36.719 --> 0:56:41.240
<v Speaker 5>side notes. The bigger picture here is that what exactly

0:56:41.280 --> 0:56:43.480
<v Speaker 5>is Fauci hiding? I mean, we have his we have

0:56:43.560 --> 0:56:45.480
<v Speaker 5>his diary, we have a good chunk of it. We

0:56:45.520 --> 0:56:49.080
<v Speaker 5>have specifically the areas where he highlighted it. The death

0:56:49.160 --> 0:56:53.400
<v Speaker 5>toll just supposed with Man, the media just loves me,

0:56:54.160 --> 0:56:56.640
<v Speaker 5>And I don't know what it is. They just you know,

0:56:56.719 --> 0:56:57.720
<v Speaker 5>they just can't get.

0:56:57.600 --> 0:56:58.040
<v Speaker 9>Enough of me.

0:56:58.080 --> 0:56:59.719
<v Speaker 5>I just you know they think about me. I think,

0:57:00.000 --> 0:57:03.120
<v Speaker 5>oh yeah, Dick tapper oo WU like that these are

0:57:03.120 --> 0:57:05.360
<v Speaker 5>the type of like love notes that he's sort of

0:57:05.360 --> 0:57:07.600
<v Speaker 5>writing in his diary. And you're thinking, to yourself, this

0:57:07.680 --> 0:57:10.960
<v Speaker 5>is a this is at the time acceptagenarian, almost an

0:57:10.960 --> 0:57:15.520
<v Speaker 5>octogenarian aged man, Like what are you doing? Like even

0:57:15.560 --> 0:57:20.400
<v Speaker 5>if you were writing a memoir like and that comes out,

0:57:20.520 --> 0:57:24.360
<v Speaker 5>everyone's gonna be like, what wtf? Mate? Like whether at

0:57:24.360 --> 0:57:26.880
<v Speaker 5>the time you were supposed to be leading the pandemic

0:57:26.920 --> 0:57:29.040
<v Speaker 5>response And you know who I don't think is not

0:57:29.080 --> 0:57:31.960
<v Speaker 5>getting enough scorn out of this. You know who is

0:57:32.080 --> 0:57:35.560
<v Speaker 5>leading the task force during the COVID pandemic. Vice President

0:57:35.640 --> 0:57:36.600
<v Speaker 5>Mike Pence.

0:57:37.920 --> 0:57:39.960
<v Speaker 3>You think needs much talk about it.

0:57:40.000 --> 0:57:41.440
<v Speaker 2>If you, if you were, if you were chairman of

0:57:41.440 --> 0:57:43.120
<v Speaker 2>the committee, would you drag him in next?

0:57:45.280 --> 0:57:46.800
<v Speaker 5>I don't see why not. I mean, I don't know

0:57:46.800 --> 0:57:49.160
<v Speaker 5>whether I don't know if executive privilege applies to him

0:57:49.160 --> 0:57:52.320
<v Speaker 5>in this regard, But like at this point, that's I'm

0:57:52.400 --> 0:57:54.720
<v Speaker 5>very surprised nobody's talking about Mike Pence.

0:57:55.760 --> 0:57:57.200
<v Speaker 3>On the on the fat gpiece.

0:57:57.240 --> 0:57:59.880
<v Speaker 2>We had a legal scholar on from Yale this week,

0:58:00.080 --> 0:58:03.360
<v Speaker 2>and he absolutely says that they can bypass a full

0:58:03.400 --> 0:58:07.560
<v Speaker 2>Senate vote and either Vance or even Chuck Grassley, whoever

0:58:07.680 --> 0:58:11.200
<v Speaker 2>is judged to be presiding over the Senate in the moment,

0:58:11.320 --> 0:58:13.520
<v Speaker 2>can actually just send this right over to the Department

0:58:13.560 --> 0:58:16.560
<v Speaker 2>of Justice. So I suspect he's gonna end up having

0:58:16.600 --> 0:58:19.280
<v Speaker 2>to tangle on this because I agree with the lawyers

0:58:19.280 --> 0:58:22.240
<v Speaker 2>that you've also talked to, you can't plead the fifth

0:58:22.280 --> 0:58:25.840
<v Speaker 2>if you've already gotten a pardon. He got terrible legal advice,

0:58:25.880 --> 0:58:28.080
<v Speaker 2>but he also got terrible public relations advice.

0:58:28.160 --> 0:58:30.600
<v Speaker 3>It would have done him a world of good. I

0:58:30.640 --> 0:58:31.280
<v Speaker 3>think if he had just.

0:58:31.280 --> 0:58:32.720
<v Speaker 2>Sat in front of the committee and said, you know what,

0:58:33.040 --> 0:58:35.160
<v Speaker 2>I made the best decisions with the information I had

0:58:35.200 --> 0:58:37.320
<v Speaker 2>at the time. We got some things right, and we

0:58:37.400 --> 0:58:39.480
<v Speaker 2>got a lot of things wrong, but it's important for

0:58:39.560 --> 0:58:41.760
<v Speaker 2>us to know both. That way we improve for the

0:58:41.800 --> 0:58:45.000
<v Speaker 2>next time. If he could have had the humility just

0:58:45.040 --> 0:58:48.680
<v Speaker 2>to say that, he would have done himself a world

0:58:48.680 --> 0:58:51.960
<v Speaker 2>of good. But instead taking the fifth Boy, was that terrible,

0:58:52.600 --> 0:58:53.600
<v Speaker 2>terrible pr advice?

0:58:53.640 --> 0:58:54.480
<v Speaker 3>All right, let's move on.

0:58:54.680 --> 0:58:57.040
<v Speaker 2>I want to talk about one of my favorite Yeah, yeah,

0:58:57.080 --> 0:58:57.440
<v Speaker 2>go ahead.

0:58:58.880 --> 0:59:00.760
<v Speaker 5>I was just going to say it was very disappointing.

0:59:00.840 --> 0:59:02.880
<v Speaker 5>Is that every doctor takes the hippocratic oath, you know,

0:59:03.000 --> 0:59:05.040
<v Speaker 5>do no harm, and yet the only harm that he's

0:59:05.040 --> 0:59:07.880
<v Speaker 5>focused on is not doing any harm to his own image.

0:59:08.480 --> 0:59:10.840
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, well he did a lot of harm.

0:59:11.000 --> 0:59:13.680
<v Speaker 2>Uh, And I just it's it's amazing to me that

0:59:13.800 --> 0:59:16.280
<v Speaker 2>he I mean, this is a guy who sat in

0:59:16.280 --> 0:59:20.680
<v Speaker 2>front of committees, has sat for countless thousands of media interviews.

0:59:21.080 --> 0:59:24.280
<v Speaker 2>You know, he's he's never not been willing to talk

0:59:24.400 --> 0:59:29.520
<v Speaker 2>ad nauseum, and so to sit there in Stonewall Congress

0:59:29.560 --> 0:59:31.640
<v Speaker 2>like that, boy, it was a a rough look. All right,

0:59:31.640 --> 0:59:32.760
<v Speaker 2>I want to move on to the Mayor of New

0:59:32.840 --> 0:59:36.280
<v Speaker 2>York City. He's having an interesting week. First of all,

0:59:36.360 --> 0:59:38.280
<v Speaker 2>he went to an event with a bunch of cops

0:59:39.120 --> 0:59:41.160
<v Speaker 2>in Staten Island, and I want to play this for

0:59:41.240 --> 0:59:42.560
<v Speaker 2>you and get your reaction to it.

0:59:42.600 --> 0:59:46.680
<v Speaker 3>Mom Donnie getting booed off the stage cut six.

0:59:48.760 --> 0:59:50.800
<v Speaker 4>Gentlemen, Are you ready for some work camp day?

0:59:53.160 --> 0:59:53.520
<v Speaker 15>No, we're not.

0:59:53.800 --> 0:59:53.960
<v Speaker 8>We're not.

0:59:54.560 --> 0:59:56.680
<v Speaker 3>We're goett even work. Somebody getting on work.

1:00:00.000 --> 1:00:07.440
<v Speaker 2>He had that PR debacle, Saraj, and he also is,

1:00:07.520 --> 1:00:10.440
<v Speaker 2>I think, sort of presiding over a debacle as it

1:00:10.480 --> 1:00:14.360
<v Speaker 2>relates to these government owned grocery stores, saying that we're

1:00:14.400 --> 1:00:17.120
<v Speaker 2>gonna have to have ID in order to get into

1:00:17.160 --> 1:00:19.640
<v Speaker 2>the grocery stores. And of course a lot of us

1:00:19.680 --> 1:00:21.840
<v Speaker 2>on the right have had fun with that. Do you

1:00:21.880 --> 1:00:25.919
<v Speaker 2>feel like maybe the honeymoon is wearing off a little

1:00:25.920 --> 1:00:26.800
<v Speaker 2>bit from Mom Donnie?

1:00:26.800 --> 1:00:27.400
<v Speaker 3>What's your take?

1:00:29.680 --> 1:00:32.880
<v Speaker 5>You know, at this point he's been the mayor for

1:00:33.680 --> 1:00:36.360
<v Speaker 5>more than half a year. There are going to be

1:00:36.400 --> 1:00:38.840
<v Speaker 5>his proponents who say that he's doing a great job.

1:00:38.920 --> 1:00:41.520
<v Speaker 5>He's finally focusing on, you know, the working people of

1:00:42.160 --> 1:00:45.440
<v Speaker 5>New York. But at the same time, who's driving the

1:00:45.480 --> 1:00:50.880
<v Speaker 5>most sort of economic benefit to New York i e.

1:00:51.240 --> 1:00:57.080
<v Speaker 5>The business owners and everyone who's actually like created the

1:00:57.360 --> 1:01:01.080
<v Speaker 5>economic capital that New York City is. They're leaving and

1:01:01.080 --> 1:01:05.440
<v Speaker 5>they're they're they're pissed off. They can't understand why they

1:01:05.480 --> 1:01:08.640
<v Speaker 5>would why any any New Yorker would would support this guy,

1:01:08.760 --> 1:01:11.840
<v Speaker 5>right because you have the government run grocery stores, all

1:01:11.840 --> 1:01:14.280
<v Speaker 5>the bodega owners, They're like, how is it possible that

1:01:14.320 --> 1:01:17.800
<v Speaker 5>we have to now compete with a government subsidized grocery

1:01:17.800 --> 1:01:22.320
<v Speaker 5>store that now also requires a library card if you

1:01:22.360 --> 1:01:24.880
<v Speaker 5>want to call it that, But it's really just an

1:01:24.920 --> 1:01:27.360
<v Speaker 5>identification card. I mean, how are you going to prevent

1:01:27.360 --> 1:01:31.640
<v Speaker 5>people from Recently? Of course Costco has you know, membership,

1:01:31.680 --> 1:01:35.760
<v Speaker 5>Sam's Club has membership. They're private enterprises, they have an

1:01:35.920 --> 1:01:38.440
<v Speaker 5>entity where like they can probably hedge against a lot

1:01:38.440 --> 1:01:41.200
<v Speaker 5>of resiling. But at the same time, like, how are

1:01:41.200 --> 1:01:44.240
<v Speaker 5>you going to prevent people from really abusing the system?

1:01:44.760 --> 1:01:45.720
<v Speaker 4>And it costs a lot of money.

1:01:45.720 --> 1:01:46.720
<v Speaker 3>If he's haventy million.

1:01:46.560 --> 1:01:47.480
<v Speaker 4>Dollars, it's crazy.

1:01:47.720 --> 1:01:50.120
<v Speaker 2>I know, it's great and in the press conference like

1:01:50.160 --> 1:01:51.320
<v Speaker 2>he's holding up like this.

1:01:51.560 --> 1:01:52.160
<v Speaker 3>Bananas.

1:01:52.880 --> 1:01:57.200
<v Speaker 2>Bananas are the greatest miracle of capitalism. You can grow

1:01:57.240 --> 1:02:00.480
<v Speaker 2>a banana in whatever, Argentina, wherever they can from and

1:02:00.560 --> 1:02:02.240
<v Speaker 2>have it here in the United States the next day,

1:02:02.280 --> 1:02:05.840
<v Speaker 2>and it costs like thirty cents. I mean, is anybody

1:02:05.840 --> 1:02:07.880
<v Speaker 2>out there saying, boy, these bananas are breaking me.

1:02:08.080 --> 1:02:09.520
<v Speaker 3>That's not, of course not.

1:02:09.680 --> 1:02:12.600
<v Speaker 2>But he's like standing up at this press conference holding

1:02:12.600 --> 1:02:14.240
<v Speaker 2>the bananas up like he's getting ready to throw it

1:02:14.320 --> 1:02:16.320
<v Speaker 2>up at the tip of a basketball game. You know

1:02:16.360 --> 1:02:18.760
<v Speaker 2>one other thing that happened to him this week? What

1:02:18.800 --> 1:02:20.360
<v Speaker 2>didn't happen to him? I guess it happened to the

1:02:20.360 --> 1:02:24.200
<v Speaker 2>people who supported him. He puts out the list of

1:02:24.240 --> 1:02:26.680
<v Speaker 2>all the people, the property owners in New York that

1:02:26.680 --> 1:02:30.720
<v Speaker 2>he wants to tax, and all the people that supported

1:02:30.760 --> 1:02:35.040
<v Speaker 2>him realized their names were on it, including this moron,

1:02:35.120 --> 1:02:37.480
<v Speaker 2>Scott Galloway, who has this podcast with.

1:02:37.840 --> 1:02:41.720
<v Speaker 3>Kara Swisher, and he gets on the podcast and he's like,

1:02:41.760 --> 1:02:44.120
<v Speaker 3>I don't know what happened.

1:02:44.200 --> 1:02:48.760
<v Speaker 2>I supported him, and now they've dosed to me on

1:02:48.840 --> 1:02:52.400
<v Speaker 2>the property tax list. Do you think the rich liberals

1:02:52.720 --> 1:02:56.000
<v Speaker 2>in New York sarag have realized that, yes, the leopard

1:02:56.040 --> 1:02:58.000
<v Speaker 2>will also eat my face too, or do you think

1:02:58.000 --> 1:02:59.120
<v Speaker 2>it's going to take some more pain?

1:02:59.360 --> 1:03:00.760
<v Speaker 3>Give you the last one in the segment.

1:03:02.280 --> 1:03:04.560
<v Speaker 5>It will be a little bit more pain, because I

1:03:04.640 --> 1:03:06.680
<v Speaker 5>think I don't think people look at Scott Galloway and

1:03:06.680 --> 1:03:09.080
<v Speaker 5>think he's sort of like the voice of reason amongst

1:03:09.160 --> 1:03:12.560
<v Speaker 5>the left. I mean, I think, yeah, maybe Ars Sweatsher's podcast,

1:03:12.960 --> 1:03:16.280
<v Speaker 5>having that sort of joint venture with her is helpful

1:03:16.320 --> 1:03:19.080
<v Speaker 5>to his brand, but ultimately, like it's going to take

1:03:19.120 --> 1:03:22.560
<v Speaker 5>a prominent figure in the American society to really be like,

1:03:22.640 --> 1:03:25.880
<v Speaker 5>you know what, I once supported Zora Mandani, but I

1:03:25.920 --> 1:03:26.880
<v Speaker 5>can't take it anymore.

1:03:28.680 --> 1:03:31.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's that that whole you know that, plus the

1:03:31.920 --> 1:03:34.040
<v Speaker 2>fact that he was saying five million, and then the

1:03:34.080 --> 1:03:36.280
<v Speaker 2>properties on there were one million. And oh, by the way,

1:03:36.320 --> 1:03:38.240
<v Speaker 2>a lot of the properties on there people live in

1:03:38.320 --> 1:03:38.800
<v Speaker 2>every day.

1:03:38.880 --> 1:03:40.160
<v Speaker 3>These weren't second homes.

1:03:40.920 --> 1:03:41.040
<v Speaker 1>Uh.

1:03:42.280 --> 1:03:43.600
<v Speaker 3>I think a lot of people got to wake up

1:03:44.120 --> 1:03:44.560
<v Speaker 3>the fact.

1:03:44.400 --> 1:03:46.360
<v Speaker 5>That the property value in New York City is so

1:03:46.480 --> 1:03:47.160
<v Speaker 5>high already.

1:03:47.960 --> 1:03:51.440
<v Speaker 2>I know it's that whole thing, total debacle, but I

1:03:51.440 --> 1:03:52.880
<v Speaker 2>think a lot of people are getting a lesson in

1:03:52.920 --> 1:03:55.400
<v Speaker 2>what it's like to live under a socialist More Friday

1:03:55.440 --> 1:03:58.000
<v Speaker 2>punitry with Saraj When we come back on the Scott

1:03:58.040 --> 1:03:58.920
<v Speaker 2>Jetting Show, stayed with me.

1:03:59.280 --> 1:04:02.560
<v Speaker 11>Well left arguments with truth and common sense.

1:04:02.920 --> 1:04:07.040
<v Speaker 4>They hate that this does this Scott Jenny Shall, all.

1:04:07.000 --> 1:04:08.000
<v Speaker 3>Right, we'll wrap up the week.

1:04:08.040 --> 1:04:11.600
<v Speaker 2>Here are pundit of the Week Sarage Hashmi, the senior

1:04:11.800 --> 1:04:15.000
<v Speaker 2>digital media strategist for town Hall. A great website you

1:04:15.080 --> 1:04:20.120
<v Speaker 2>should visit for interesting content. Sarage, I gotta do this story.

1:04:20.360 --> 1:04:20.760
<v Speaker 3>We haven't.

1:04:21.080 --> 1:04:24.040
<v Speaker 2>I did a little WNBA before I went on my vacation.

1:04:24.200 --> 1:04:26.480
<v Speaker 2>Now I'm back, and I see the WNBA as even

1:04:26.520 --> 1:04:29.000
<v Speaker 2>crazier than it was before I left. There's a player

1:04:29.120 --> 1:04:33.160
<v Speaker 2>named Gabby Williams. She plays for the Golden State Valkyries.

1:04:33.280 --> 1:04:35.920
<v Speaker 2>Pretty good fourteen point seven points a game this season,

1:04:36.720 --> 1:04:39.360
<v Speaker 2>and she says she wants to play against dudes.

1:04:40.480 --> 1:04:43.200
<v Speaker 3>Let's hear Gabby Williams, Cut eight.

1:04:43.600 --> 1:04:45.680
<v Speaker 12>I would welcome trans out there on my team more

1:04:45.680 --> 1:04:47.120
<v Speaker 12>against my team anytime.

1:04:47.360 --> 1:04:49.880
<v Speaker 4>I don't think it's a problem in the world.

1:04:50.960 --> 1:04:54.160
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So Gabby says she wants to play against dudes, Well,

1:04:54.200 --> 1:04:57.160
<v Speaker 2>there is, as luck would have it, a dude who's

1:04:57.200 --> 1:04:59.000
<v Speaker 2>willing to do this. You may have heard of him.

1:04:59.000 --> 1:05:01.960
<v Speaker 2>His name is Enis Canter or Enu's Freedom. I guess

1:05:02.000 --> 1:05:05.840
<v Speaker 2>he changed his name. Former NBA player. He's like seven

1:05:05.880 --> 1:05:10.280
<v Speaker 2>feet tall today. He declared for the w NBA draft

1:05:10.600 --> 1:05:11.200
<v Speaker 2>cut sixty.

1:05:11.400 --> 1:05:14.840
<v Speaker 15>After careful concenteration and reviewing the current eligibility guidelines. I

1:05:14.880 --> 1:05:19.160
<v Speaker 15>am officially declaring myself a WNBA prospect. If simply declaring

1:05:19.200 --> 1:05:21.919
<v Speaker 15>who you are is all that's required, that I meet

1:05:21.920 --> 1:05:26.000
<v Speaker 15>every single requirement necessary to compete in the WNBA. My

1:05:26.080 --> 1:05:29.919
<v Speaker 15>Tim and I have carefully examined the WA's eligibility criteria

1:05:29.960 --> 1:05:34.600
<v Speaker 15>and governing framework surrounding self identification and inclusion. Based on

1:05:34.640 --> 1:05:38.040
<v Speaker 15>the current guidelines, I can and am officially declaring my

1:05:38.080 --> 1:05:41.480
<v Speaker 15>eligibility for the upcoming WNBA Draft in May twenty twenty seven.

1:05:41.680 --> 1:05:44.240
<v Speaker 15>I am definitely not here to muck, make fun of,

1:05:44.320 --> 1:05:47.960
<v Speaker 15>or disuspect any community or personal choices. I am simply

1:05:48.040 --> 1:05:51.200
<v Speaker 15>asking that the current rules be applied equally to everyone,

1:05:51.320 --> 1:05:54.840
<v Speaker 15>the rules that represent the very values many WNBA players

1:05:54.880 --> 1:05:58.040
<v Speaker 15>and coaches have publicly advocated for. My Tim and I

1:05:58.120 --> 1:06:02.080
<v Speaker 15>are prepared to ensure these guidelines are applied equally, consistently

1:06:02.200 --> 1:06:05.120
<v Speaker 15>and redot exception, and I'll look forward thro the WNBA

1:06:05.200 --> 1:06:08.120
<v Speaker 15>honoring its stated principles to your training camp.

1:06:09.720 --> 1:06:11.760
<v Speaker 2>What do you think, Saraj should they should somebody in

1:06:11.760 --> 1:06:15.400
<v Speaker 2>the w NBA draft inenus freedom? I mean it would

1:06:15.440 --> 1:06:18.240
<v Speaker 2>give them well, I would say you would have games

1:06:18.240 --> 1:06:20.280
<v Speaker 2>that were like literally like two hundred to nothing if

1:06:20.320 --> 1:06:22.640
<v Speaker 2>they If they had one dude on the team, That's

1:06:22.640 --> 1:06:23.400
<v Speaker 2>what would happened.

1:06:23.680 --> 1:06:25.720
<v Speaker 3>What do you think I think somebody should do it?

1:06:26.040 --> 1:06:26.320
<v Speaker 3>Tell me.

1:06:27.880 --> 1:06:30.920
<v Speaker 5>I recalled Donald Trump saying back in twenty twenty two

1:06:31.000 --> 1:06:32.880
<v Speaker 5>that if he were to buy a WNBA team, he

1:06:32.880 --> 1:06:35.160
<v Speaker 5>would ask Lebron James if he had any interest in

1:06:35.240 --> 1:06:39.680
<v Speaker 5>becoming a woman. And it's just you know, and it's freedom,

1:06:40.120 --> 1:06:44.160
<v Speaker 5>And don't underestimate the sort of detact and sort of

1:06:44.520 --> 1:06:47.360
<v Speaker 5>the determination of someone who's wont to changed their last name.

1:06:47.440 --> 1:06:49.760
<v Speaker 5>That takes a lot of work, right, So someone who

1:06:49.800 --> 1:06:52.280
<v Speaker 5>went from Nscanter and his freedom, that's a that's a

1:06:52.280 --> 1:06:54.760
<v Speaker 5>big deal. And also, you know, as a Celtics fan,

1:06:55.440 --> 1:06:57.560
<v Speaker 5>he played he played fairly well for the Celtics in

1:06:57.560 --> 1:06:59.800
<v Speaker 5>the short stit that he was there. But I will

1:06:59.800 --> 1:07:03.320
<v Speaker 5>say he has been one of the more impressive members

1:07:03.360 --> 1:07:07.240
<v Speaker 5>of the NBA post NBA career, considering how he's actually

1:07:07.320 --> 1:07:10.160
<v Speaker 5>trying to make a change in our society, and he

1:07:10.200 --> 1:07:13.160
<v Speaker 5>brings up a valuable point. He's not actually in it

1:07:13.200 --> 1:07:15.360
<v Speaker 5>to mock anyone, but he does want to make sure

1:07:15.400 --> 1:07:17.840
<v Speaker 5>that the WNBA is adhering to the rules that they

1:07:17.880 --> 1:07:20.320
<v Speaker 5>put forward, and if the rules that they put forward

1:07:20.760 --> 1:07:24.080
<v Speaker 5>has a massive loophole that allows men to join their sport.

1:07:24.600 --> 1:07:27.360
<v Speaker 5>Then I don't see why anyone shouldn't.

1:07:27.000 --> 1:07:27.840
<v Speaker 4>Be exploiting that.

1:07:27.960 --> 1:07:30.800
<v Speaker 5>And if he's doing it with all sincerity, my hat's

1:07:30.840 --> 1:07:31.880
<v Speaker 5>off to him.

1:07:32.280 --> 1:07:35.280
<v Speaker 2>Well, there's been coaches. There's that one coach who wore

1:07:35.360 --> 1:07:39.000
<v Speaker 2>a shirt saying, you know that she wanted to be

1:07:39.080 --> 1:07:42.120
<v Speaker 2>inclusive of anybody who wanted to play in the WNBA.

1:07:42.160 --> 1:07:46.080
<v Speaker 2>You've got numerous players saying absolutely, let's have some of

1:07:46.120 --> 1:07:48.680
<v Speaker 2>these dudes come into the league. I think there's going

1:07:48.720 --> 1:07:52.480
<v Speaker 2>to be a groundswell of support for Enus' freedom.

1:07:52.520 --> 1:07:54.400
<v Speaker 3>You know, we know him here in Kentucky a little bit.

1:07:54.440 --> 1:07:57.720
<v Speaker 2>He tried to play for the University of Kentucky Wildcats

1:07:58.240 --> 1:08:01.400
<v Speaker 2>and the NCAA screwed him out of it and he

1:08:01.480 --> 1:08:03.600
<v Speaker 2>never got to play for Kentucky, which was very said

1:08:03.640 --> 1:08:06.040
<v Speaker 2>because he was sort of a heralded recruit for the

1:08:06.080 --> 1:08:09.680
<v Speaker 2>Cats at the time. But anyway, crazy the WNBA every

1:08:09.680 --> 1:08:11.720
<v Speaker 2>week gets crazier and crazyer. All right, we got about

1:08:11.720 --> 1:08:13.360
<v Speaker 2>a minute left, sarag We got to do our winners

1:08:13.400 --> 1:08:15.440
<v Speaker 2>and losers. I'll give you the honor. Who is the

1:08:15.480 --> 1:08:17.920
<v Speaker 2>winner of the week In American politics?

1:08:19.640 --> 1:08:23.639
<v Speaker 5>Mike Rogers, a Republican Senate nominee from Michigan. He has

1:08:23.680 --> 1:08:27.360
<v Speaker 5>the opportunity to become the first Republican elected for the

1:08:27.439 --> 1:08:30.679
<v Speaker 5>US Sennessee in Michigan since nineteen ninety four. It's thirty

1:08:30.720 --> 1:08:35.879
<v Speaker 5>two years, and he's been gifted basically a silver platter

1:08:36.000 --> 1:08:40.240
<v Speaker 5>with Abdul l Sayet, who has just so many receipts

1:08:40.240 --> 1:08:42.720
<v Speaker 5>out there, so many clips of him saying how much

1:08:42.760 --> 1:08:45.519
<v Speaker 5>he he hates this, that, and the third about Michigan,

1:08:45.560 --> 1:08:47.640
<v Speaker 5>how much he cares about things that have nothing to

1:08:47.640 --> 1:08:50.880
<v Speaker 5>do with Michigan. And the simplest ploy that he has

1:08:50.920 --> 1:08:54.160
<v Speaker 5>to go is, Mike Rodgers is for Michigan. Abdul as

1:08:54.320 --> 1:08:58.040
<v Speaker 5>Abdula al Sayet is for Palestine. Mike Rodgers is for you.

1:08:58.520 --> 1:08:59.320
<v Speaker 5>That's all he has to do.

1:09:00.280 --> 1:09:04.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he had a great week overall, the socialist march

1:09:04.320 --> 1:09:07.679
<v Speaker 2>in Michigan may turn a purple state a little more red.

1:09:07.720 --> 1:09:10.000
<v Speaker 2>Here in twenty six I'm gonna give you my loser,

1:09:10.360 --> 1:09:14.320
<v Speaker 2>and it's in the same bucket Chuck Schumer. He and

1:09:14.400 --> 1:09:18.160
<v Speaker 2>the establishment wanted Haley Stevens, they got Abdua Lsied. He

1:09:18.200 --> 1:09:20.840
<v Speaker 2>then says, Okay, I'll be for abduall lsied, who then

1:09:20.960 --> 1:09:25.800
<v Speaker 2>immediately endorses like Chris van Holland from Majority Leader Chuck

1:09:25.800 --> 1:09:29.360
<v Speaker 2>Schumer at a rough week, saraj Hashbe from town Hall,

1:09:29.400 --> 1:09:31.439
<v Speaker 2>You've been a great pundit, you're a great audience.

1:09:31.520 --> 1:09:33.719
<v Speaker 3>Have a great weekend, and we'll see you Monday. Thanks

1:09:33.760 --> 1:09:34.240
<v Speaker 3>for listening.
