They did it at 41 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 2: the Trump Kennedy Center. Republican congressmen were prepping their battle 42 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 2: plan for legislative action in twenty twenty six, so this 43 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 2: is like the Republican retreat. President Trump laid down the 44 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,919 Speaker 2: terms of the debate to come for the twenty twenty 45 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 2: six mid term. He talked about what he inherited and 46 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 2: what the Republican Party intends to do about him. 47 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 3: Here's the president. 48 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 4: We inherited high priss. We inherited a mess. We inherited 49 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 4: the greatest inflation in history. And you know what was 50 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 4: knocking it down, the bad economy that we inherited. 51 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:52,239 Speaker 5: We inherited bad. 52 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 4: We now have the hottest economy and the history of 53 00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 4: our country. We have eighteen krekan being invested in the 54 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 4: United States.

I hope we get the good ruling from 57 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 4: the Supreme Court. I only hope we do because it's 58 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 4: given us tremendous national security. 59 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 2: President Trump also talked about the issue of healthcare. 60 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 3: In short, he says they're still working on it. 61 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 4: What we're doing is the right thing for the country. 62 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 5: We're not Republican or Democrat. 63 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 4: We're doing the right thing for the country. If you 64 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 4: look at what we're trying to solve the healthcare from 65 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 4: we're trying to get. 66 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 5: Better healthcare at a lower price. I mean that's a 67 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 5: good thing, right. 68 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 2: As I mentioned Vice President Vance coming by the show 69 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 2: here in just a little while. We'll talk to him 70 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 2: about the White House legislative agenda. 71 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 3: For this spring. You're going to want to hear his 72 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 3: answers on that. 73 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 2: One more thing, interestingly, the President has taken note of 74 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 2: the protests who are popping up on the streets no 75 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 2: matter what he does. The latest round of this, of course, 76 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 2: are these pro Maduro protesters. Listen to what he told 77 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 2: the assembled Republicans today. 78 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 4: Where they find these people? These people I did not like. 79 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 4: These people are a mess. I know, it's not nice 80 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 4: to say that these people are a mess. Where do 81 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 4: they find these people? They're the worst looking people I've 82 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 4: ever seen. They're really they got hats that are all 83 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 4: fraid are all they look like, they're all paid. They 84 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,719 Speaker 4: don't even know what they're talking when the people, the 85 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 4: reporters don't interview because they know that it's, you know, 86 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 4: the reporters. The press is so anti. It's hard to 87 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 4: believe the press could be so anti because it's all 88 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 4: common sense. You know, It's not we're a conservative, we're concerned, 89 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:52,039 Speaker 4: whatever doesn't matter. It's we're all common sense people. It's 90 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 4: not even conservative, it's common sense but the press has 91 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:57,719 Speaker 4: no credibility whatsoever. 92 00:04:58,120 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 5: Think of it. 93 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:03,600 Speaker 4: I got ninety the seven percent bad stories on one network, 94 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 4: ninety three percent on the other, and I wanted a landslide. 95 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:08,119 Speaker 5: You know what that means. 96 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 4: The press has no credit building. 97 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 2: President Trump today talking to Congressional Republicans at the Trump 98 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 2: Kennedy Center, a little bit of a pep rally for 99 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 2: the Republican members of Congress gathering in Washington. Breitbart Today 100 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,159 Speaker 2: has a bit of a report on the president's transparency. 101 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 2: They've looked at the president's transcripts for the first year 102 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 2: he spoke to the public for thirteen thousand, four hundred 103 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 2: minutes and seventy four percent of the president's events were 104 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 2: open to the press. Most transparent president in history. It 105 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,479 Speaker 2: is not even close. By the way, speaking of all 106 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:53,039 Speaker 2: these Congressional Republicans, Speaker Mike Johnson's majority, already slim, is 107 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 2: now even smaller. And for sad reasons, Congressman Doug LaMalfa 108 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,119 Speaker 2: of California has passed away at the age of sixty five. 109 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 2: So this leaves the House at two hundred and eighteen 110 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 2: Republicans to two hundred and thirteen Democrats. Republican Congressman Jim 111 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 2: Bayard of Indiana, who is eighty years old, is in 112 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 2: the hospital right now following a car crash. 113 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,160 Speaker 3: And of course Speaker. 114 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:22,600 Speaker 2: Johnson cannot count on Thomas Massey of Kentucky. He cannot 115 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 2: be counted on for anything. At the moment, he's often 116 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,599 Speaker 2: voting with the Democrats. Marjorie Taylor Green is now gone 117 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 2: from the House as well. Her last day was yesterday, 118 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 2: So look at the math for Speaker Johnson. For the 119 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:39,679 Speaker 2: whole month of February, Republicans will have a one vote 120 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 2: majority one vote in March if they win the Marjorie 121 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 2: Taylor Green seat, Johnson will then have a two vote 122 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 2: majority in the month of March, and in April, when 123 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 2: Democrats fill the seat of Mikey Cheryl Up in New Jersey, 124 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 2: it'll go back to a one seat majority. So right now, 125 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 2: Speaker Johnson is in a high wire act. We are, 126 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,160 Speaker 2: by the way, this show broadcasting from the United States 127 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 2: Capital tomorrow.

Well, 292 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,320 Speaker 2: we're very proud of you. Of course, as you know, 293 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 2: we share Kentucky roots, and back home in the Commonwealth, 294 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 2: we're very proud of your political journey. And I do 295 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 2: want to start the interview today, sir, with just a 296 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 2: question about your home in Ohio. We were all horrified 297 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 2: to see the reports of some crazy person attacking your 298 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 2: house there in southern Ohio and breaking windows, and it 299 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 2: turns out they have someone under arrest. 300 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 3: I assume your family's okay. 301 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 2: I just wanted to make sure the Van's family was 302 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,119 Speaker 2: okay and really give you a chance to comment on 303 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 2: the details here. 304 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 10: Pretty bad. 305 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 8: Yeah, I appreciate that, Scott, our family's doing fine, and 306 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,919 Speaker 8: thanks for asking. You know, we had left Cincinnati a 307 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 8: few hours before the attack, and you know, whatever, we're 308 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,360 Speaker 8: in town. It's obviously it's a well known thing. 309 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,160 Speaker 7: Because there are barricades everywhere. 310 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 8: The security presidence goes up on our street, and so 311 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,680 Speaker 8: I guess this person probably assume we were still there, decided. 312 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,199 Speaker 7: To make an attack. Guy, I don't know if they 313 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 7: were trying. 314 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:34,920 Speaker 8: To break in, that's my intuition, just because they went 315 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 8: and hammered the windows. But of course, you know, we 316 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,639 Speaker 8: have stronger windows than most because I'm a protectee of 317 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 8: the Secret Service, and so, you know, eventually realized they 318 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,439 Speaker 8: weren't getting anywhere, ran off and were captured by the 319 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 8: Secret Service as they tried to escape. That's my understanding. 320 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 8: I do think they have somebody in custody. It appears, 321 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 8: you know, well, I'll let the investigation play itself out 322 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 8: a little bit more. It's exactly what the motive was, 323 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,159 Speaker 8: but clearly a very sick individual. The good thing is 324 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:04,960 Speaker 8: why kids are young enough, they have no idea what's 325 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 8: going on, and they don't read the. 326 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 7: News, so they have no idea that. 327 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 8: Their home was attacked by a crazy person with a hammer. 328 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 8: But you know, it is what it is. Obviously, we 329 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 8: saw what happened with the president the year and a 330 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:19,160 Speaker 8: half ago. Thank god, he's okay. There are crazy people 331 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,639 Speaker 8: out there, and we're thankful for the Secret Service and 332 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 8: the grace of God that we're still here to do 333 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 8: the job that we can. 334 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, this issue of political violence on the left right 335 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,160 Speaker 2: now is troubling to many conservatives. You mentioned the near 336 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 2: assassination of President Trump. Obviously a close friend of yours, 337 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 2: Charlie Kirk, and a close friend of the show here 338 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,359 Speaker 2: was assassinated last year. We've seen a rise in left 339 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:44,440 Speaker 2: wing violence well documented. What is going on with the 340 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 2: left in America right now, mister Vice President. 341 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 8: Well, you know, I think so many people who have 342 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 8: just become unhinged where their politics is their religion, and 343 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:57,400 Speaker 8: they think it justifies any violence on behalf of that religion. 344 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 8: And you know, luckily it's not most people in our country, 345 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:04,160 Speaker 8: whether they're Democrats or Republicans, but I certainly think scott 346 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 8: is much more common on the left than it is 347 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,480 Speaker 8: the right. You see this in the polling, you see 348 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,159 Speaker 8: this in the actual attacks that are carried out, And 349 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,879 Speaker 8: I just think it requires some moral leadership from all 350 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,800 Speaker 8: of us Democrat, Republican or in the middle to say, look, 351 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,959 Speaker 8: you don't get to attack people because you disagree with them. 352 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,160 Speaker 8: You should debate their ideas and not try to silence them. 353 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,879 Speaker 8: And it's not just the people who commit the violence, Scott. 354 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 8: I mean, look for every person who throws a brick 355 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,159 Speaker 8: and an ICE agent or takes a shot out of 356 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 8: the conservative commentator, there's an entire network behind it. 357 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:35,679 Speaker 7: Who bought the brick, who paid for it? 358 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:39,399 Speaker 8: Who are the networks the violence that actually support this stuff, 359 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 8: the fament this stuff. How do people get radicalized if 360 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 8: not for the really crazy rhetoric we see coming from. 361 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:46,920 Speaker 7: Some corners of the far left. 362 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,359 Speaker 8: And as you know, Scott, even after Charlie was shot, 363 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,359 Speaker 8: there were people who were celebrating it, who said that 364 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,919 Speaker 8: he deserved it. All of that is part of a 365 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 8: network of left wing violence. It's not just the person 366 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,920 Speaker 8: who pulls the trigger. It's all the people who support 367 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 8: them and and make it possible for them to get radicalized. 368 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 7: In the first place. 369 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 8: And one of the things we've tried to do in 370 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 8: the administration, we have a very aggressive task force right 371 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 8: now to try to root out this left wing political violence, 372 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,119 Speaker 8: try to find out who's funding some of this crazy stuff, 373 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 8: try to find out who's buying the bricks that these 374 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 8: people are throwing at ICE. Agents, and I think that's 375 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,200 Speaker 8: going to bear some real fruit. Obviously, that stuff takes time, 376 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 8: but I do think the American people should expect that 377 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:25,679 Speaker 8: their government is going to respond to this stuff. We 378 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 8: certainly are, and we got to root this stuff out, Scott. 379 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 8: And again, while it's more common on the left than 380 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 8: on the right, it's wrong wherever it comes from, whether 381 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 8: you're a Democrat or Republican, debate ideas. Don't try to 382 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 8: kill people you disagree with. 383 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 2: I am into that, and we'll look forward to the 384 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,920 Speaker 2: results of the investigation into some of these violent networks. 385 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 2: I want to shift attention to the economy number one 386 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,879 Speaker 2: issue for the American people, and it will be the 387 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,680 Speaker 2: biggest issue in the upcoming midterm how you judge, mister 388 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:56,399 Speaker 2: Vice President, The health of the American economy. Is the 389 00:20:56,440 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 2: Trump dvance plan to shift our economy to be a 390 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 2: more pro worker economy working, Yes. 391 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 7: Scott, I really think that it is. Some of this 392 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:06,919 Speaker 7: stuff takes. 393 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 8: Time to bear its full fruit. I mean, the economy 394 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,879 Speaker 8: in some ways wasn't just wrecked during the Biden administration. 395 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 8: It was wrecked by forty years of bad economic policy. 396 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:19,160 Speaker 8: We shipped way too many jobs to China, and other 397 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 8: countries all over the world. 398 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 7: We became less. 399 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,959 Speaker 8: Reliant on ourselves and more reliant on foreign countries. And 400 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:28,119 Speaker 8: undoing that takes time. But just in a year, Scott, 401 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 8: you're seeing amazing fruit. You know, Q four GDP growth 402 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:36,359 Speaker 8: was four point three percent. That blew away economist expectations. 403 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 8: So many people predicted runaway inflation because of the President's 404 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,720 Speaker 8: economic policies. They have been proven wrong. Inflation is lower 405 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,400 Speaker 8: than it was when we took office, and certainly lower 406 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 8: than it was during the height of the Biden inflation. 407 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,240 Speaker 8: And importantly, Scott, and this is the part where I 408 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:52,920 Speaker 8: say it takes a little bit of time to see 409 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 8: the results. You've got trillions and trillions of dollars of 410 00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 8: investment that are coming into the United States, building factory 411 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 8: reinvesting in the American worker. And when that the American people, 412 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 8: I think, really see the fruits of all those new 413 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 8: factories coming online, they're going to realize that we were 414 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 8: sold a lie in this country for forty years, and 415 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,199 Speaker 8: the lie was that America needed to rely on other 416 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,880 Speaker 8: people to make our stuff. In fact, if we rely 417 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,200 Speaker 8: on our own workers and our own ingenuity to make 418 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 8: our stuff, we're more prosperous, were more free or much 419 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 8: wealthier as a country. And that's exactly what the president's 420 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,160 Speaker 8: economic policies are leading us to. So I think twenty 421 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 8: twenty six is going to be a great year for 422 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,480 Speaker 8: the American economy. Most importantly, Scott, it's going to be 423 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:33,879 Speaker 8: a great year for the American worker. 424 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 2: Can you connect the issue of immigration to your economic theory. 425 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 2: I've heard you talk about this, this mass migration crisis 426 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 2: that we underwent under Democrats and even some Republicans frankly 427 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 2: in the past, and how that is connected to the 428 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,359 Speaker 2: pain Americans are feeling, say in the housing market or 429 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:55,720 Speaker 2: in the job market. I think you've done an eloquent 430 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 2: job of this, and to me, it's going to be 431 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 2: one of the core conservative debating points both in the midterm 432 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 2: but also in twenty twenty eight. 433 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 8: Yeah, Scott, So think about it just in two big 434 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 8: economic sectors, housing and jobs. If you have illegal immigrants 435 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,159 Speaker 8: on the job side coming in and competing against Americans 436 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 8: for good jobs, that's going to depress the wages of 437 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 8: the American worker. You saw during the Biden administration, all 438 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:20,679 Speaker 8: of the net job growth went to people. 439 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:21,359 Speaker 7: Who were foreign born. 440 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 8: Those were primarily illegal aliens. If you look at the 441 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 8: Trump economy, that's completely different. The net job growth has 442 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 8: gone to native born American workers. So it's really a 443 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 8: question of who does the economy exist for. Who are 444 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,479 Speaker 8: we trying to create prosperity for for illegal aliens who 445 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,879 Speaker 8: are coming into our country or for the American citizens 446 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,239 Speaker 8: whose parents and grandparents actually built this country with their 447 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,720 Speaker 8: bare hands. The President and I know our answer to 448 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:47,920 Speaker 8: that question. And it's weird to me that Scott and 449 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 8: the Democrats are so focused on illegal immigrants that they 450 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 8: ignore how bad the Biden economy was for native born workers. 451 00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,200 Speaker 8: So that's the jobspiece. Let me talk about housing. Scott 452 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,119 Speaker 8: can think about it. If you let in twenty twenty 453 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:05,200 Speaker 8: five thirty million illegal aliens, you have to put them somewhere. 454 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 8: They have to live somewhere, and that drives the increase 455 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 8: in demand for housing, which means rents go up for 456 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,679 Speaker 8: American workers, which means the cost of housing goes up 457 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 8: for American workers. It is not a coincidence that during 458 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,920 Speaker 8: the worst open border we've ever had under Joe Biden, 459 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,440 Speaker 8: the cost of an American home doubled in four years. 460 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 8: That is crazy. Runaway inflation even worse than the rest 461 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,479 Speaker 8: of the Biden inflation. Now that we're getting those illegal 462 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,200 Speaker 8: immigrants out, you see, rents have come down for four 463 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 8: straight months under the Trump economy. Again, we wanted to 464 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 8: keep coming down. But when you drop millions of people 465 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:42,640 Speaker 8: unvetted illegal into your country, it's bad for workers, it's 466 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,719 Speaker 8: bad for housing costs, it's bad for crime, and it 467 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 8: really is to your points, got connected to the kind 468 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,480 Speaker 8: of American economy we're trying to build for the American worker, 469 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 8: by the American people. 470 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 2: Since you and President Trump came into office, we've seen 471 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:59,399 Speaker 2: about two and a half million deportations. I think nearly 472 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:03,680 Speaker 2: two million of those one point nine are self deportations, 473 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 2: leaving about six hundred thousand for the government to have 474 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,399 Speaker 2: deported through some sort of law enforcement action. Is this 475 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,880 Speaker 2: moving fast enough for you? And what could you say 476 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 2: about the bureaucracy that exists that makes it extremely difficult 477 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:18,200 Speaker 2: to get people out of the country. 478 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,359 Speaker 8: You know, it's not fast enough for me, And I 479 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,639 Speaker 8: talked to Stephen Miller about this, my dear friend, nearly 480 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,159 Speaker 8: every day, and we're doing everything that we can to 481 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 8: get those numbers up. There are two big issues that 482 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,240 Speaker 8: we've had, and each of them we are solving, but 483 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:32,440 Speaker 8: it takes a little bit of time. 484 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 7: And the first scott is. 485 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 8: The courts have basically tried to make it illegal for 486 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:37,400 Speaker 8: us to deport illegal aliens. 487 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 7: I know a lot of. 488 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,640 Speaker 8: Our voters are saying, we want more. I think it's 489 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 8: amazing that we're two and a half million, given the 490 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,439 Speaker 8: courts have tried to stop us at every step of 491 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,399 Speaker 8: the way. We've of course powered through that stuff, but 492 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:50,880 Speaker 8: some of these lawsuits take a little time to fight. 493 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:53,879 Speaker 8: The second thing is, you know, the big beautiful Bill 494 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 8: allowed us to hire hundreds of thousands of additional ICE 495 00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 8: agents because ICE under Joe Biden had been complete decimated. 496 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 7: The agency had. 497 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:06,040 Speaker 8: Been destroyed by design. We're bringing people online to ramp 498 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,480 Speaker 8: up those deportations, but a lot of the people that 499 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 8: we've hired, I mean, they won't even be out of 500 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:14,399 Speaker 8: training until sometime this year, middle of the year. And 501 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,240 Speaker 8: so you know, while you see these numbers increase, it 502 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:19,160 Speaker 8: is going to be a slow bill to I think 503 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:20,600 Speaker 8: what we're going to have to do in order to 504 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:22,119 Speaker 8: fix the Biden border crisis. 505 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:23,680 Speaker 7: The President's committed to it. 506 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,160 Speaker 8: The Senior team is committed to it, and I think 507 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,400 Speaker 8: that we have made incredible strides. 508 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 7: But there's a lot more to do. 509 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 2: That's Vice President jd Vance here on the Scott Jennings Show. 510 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 2: Mister Vice President, you raised the big, beautiful bill that 511 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:40,120 Speaker 2: was the centerpiece of the President's domestic policy agenda pass 512 00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:43,439 Speaker 2: last summer. What can we expect for the president and 513 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 2: your legislative agenda? 514 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:45,399 Speaker 7: Here? 515 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 2: In Q one and Q two, I think the American 516 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:51,119 Speaker 2: people are looking for some action. Should we expect some 517 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 2: more immigration work? Are we going to see the reconciliation process? 518 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 2: Is that's something the White House support's happening in Congress 519 00:26:58,000 --> 00:26:58,360 Speaker 2: this year. 520 00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:00,920 Speaker 7: Yeah, there are a few things that we're working on, Scott. 521 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 8: I mean, one is, even though it's classically considered a 522 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:07,320 Speaker 8: Democrat issue, the President is sick of Obamacare and how 523 00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:10,640 Speaker 8: unaffordable it's made American healthcare. We actually met about this yesterday, 524 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,280 Speaker 8: the President and I we'll meet about it again today. 525 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 8: We're very focused on some housing legislation that we'd like 526 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,760 Speaker 8: to frankly get some bipartisan support to continue to make 527 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:23,919 Speaker 8: housing more affordable, especially for young families. There will be 528 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,320 Speaker 8: another effort at reconciliation, and there are a lot of 529 00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 8: things that we can do in that Reconciliation Bill, Scott. 530 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,920 Speaker 8: And the final thing that I'll say is, we really 531 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:37,359 Speaker 8: do need to make it harder for foreign countries to 532 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 8: take advantage of the American economy. A lot of that 533 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,640 Speaker 8: we've been able to do through executive action, but we'd 534 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 8: actually like to work on some congressional legislation to frankly, 535 00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,359 Speaker 8: make it harder for countries to come into the United 536 00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:51,160 Speaker 8: States and take advantage of our markets. 537 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 7: We want people to invest. 538 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,439 Speaker 8: In the American market, invest in the American worker. We 539 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,399 Speaker 8: don't want them undercutting the wages and the products built 540 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,120 Speaker 8: by the American worker. And I think there's some legislative 541 00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:02,320 Speaker 8: action that we could do on that front. 542 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:02,480 Speaker 7: Two. 543 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:06,679 Speaker 3: The voice you're hearing today Vice President j D. Vance. 544 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:10,720 Speaker 2: He's our special conversation. You are listening to common sense 545 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,639 Speaker 2: for the American people. This is Scott Jennings. You're listening 546 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 2: on the Salem Radio Network. When we come back, mister 547 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:18,640 Speaker 2: Vice President, on the other side of the break, I'm 548 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 2: going to ask you about Venezuela. Stay with us, Welcome 549 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,879 Speaker 2: back to the Scott Jennings Show. Honored today to have 550 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,480 Speaker 2: Vice President Jade Vance on the horn. 551 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 7: With us. 552 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:42,000 Speaker 2: Mister Vice President, thanks for spending some time with us today. 553 00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:43,600 Speaker 3: I want to talk about Venezuela. 554 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,960 Speaker 2: Obviously a very successful law enforcement operation to arrest the 555 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 2: illegitimate dictator, Nicholas Maduro. How are things today, any new 556 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 2: details on the unfolding situation there? 557 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 3: And are you expecting. 558 00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 2: The Vice president of Venezuela, who has now been sworn 559 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 2: in the acting president, to play ball with the United 560 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 2: States or are we still in wait and see. 561 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:04,480 Speaker 10: Mode with her? 562 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:06,960 Speaker 8: Yeah, I think we're still in wait and see mode. 563 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,800 Speaker 8: But obviously that is our goal here, Scott. I mean, ultimately, 564 00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 8: you know, we want what's best for the Venezuelan people, 565 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 8: but more importantly than that, by a factor of one hundred, 566 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 8: we want what's best for the American people. And whoever 567 00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 8: the leader of that country is is going to have 568 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 8: to play ball with the United States. That is the 569 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 8: whole problem that we've had in that region of the world. 570 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:26,320 Speaker 8: People don't realize that they've invited a whole host of 571 00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:30,520 Speaker 8: American competitors into Venezuela. They've given them access to cheap 572 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 8: energy resources, and they've used their own energy money to 573 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 8: fund this terrible narco terrorism against the United States of America. 574 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:41,480 Speaker 8: What the President did, and really the entire team made possible, 575 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 8: is to cut off that flow of energy money to 576 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 8: narco terrorists, to then of course cut off the amount 577 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 8: of narco terrorism that's being imported into the United States 578 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,840 Speaker 8: of America. I think it's going to save lives, it's 579 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,680 Speaker 8: going to mean cheaper gas and energy prices for Americans, 580 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,800 Speaker 8: and maybe most importantly is it's going to mean that 581 00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:02,280 Speaker 8: we have more control role over the energy resources that 582 00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 8: exist in the world, which makes it possible for us, 583 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,600 Speaker 8: of course to achieve better economic results for our people, 584 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:11,160 Speaker 8: and to use those energy resources as leverage to achieve 585 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 8: greater peace and prosperity. So I think it was a 586 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:15,520 Speaker 8: very important operation. 587 00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:17,520 Speaker 7: It was carried out flawlessly. Scott. 588 00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,000 Speaker 8: I mean, I remember being briefed on this a few 589 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,040 Speaker 8: weeks ago, with just the details of what they were 590 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,160 Speaker 8: going to do, and I think all of us were 591 00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 8: kind of skeptical, like, can you actually do this? Go 592 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:31,840 Speaker 8: into a foreign country, take zero dead Americans and actually, 593 00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 8: you know, take this indicted narco terrorist, Nicholas Maduro. The 594 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 8: guys said they could do it. They turned out to 595 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,360 Speaker 8: be right. It was a real testament to their skill 596 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:43,200 Speaker 8: and bravery. But I think it will create great benefits 597 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:44,120 Speaker 8: for the American people. 598 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, the competence of the commander in chief and the 599 00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,960 Speaker 2: US military structure today versus what we saw in the 600 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 2: previous administration. 601 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:52,080 Speaker 10: Night and Day. 602 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,640 Speaker 2: Cuba, by the way, says thirty two Cubans were killed 603 00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:57,920 Speaker 2: by the United States. There are rumblings in Washington that 604 00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:02,000 Speaker 2: that number is far higher. Say anything about the casualties 605 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:05,280 Speaker 2: of these Cuban mercenaries that we encountered in Venezuela. 606 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,880 Speaker 8: You know, Scott, I suspect that number is low, but 607 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:10,480 Speaker 8: I don't know exactly how low. 608 00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:12,080 Speaker 7: Look, we really obviously. 609 00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,320 Speaker 8: Wanted to minimize civilian casualties. We didn't want to kill 610 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:14,880 Speaker 8: anybody we. 611 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 7: Didn't have to. 612 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,400 Speaker 8: But these Cubans, I think there's this impression in the 613 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 8: media that these guys are just sort of floating around 614 00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:23,680 Speaker 8: the compound, you know, hanging out. Now that they're actually 615 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:27,239 Speaker 8: the security force for Nicholas Maduro and so when they 616 00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,880 Speaker 8: shot at our guys, our guys shot back, and obviously 617 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:34,000 Speaker 8: we won. Nicholas Mudurero's in custody and the people who 618 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:35,760 Speaker 8: shot at our guys are no longer with us. 619 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 7: That's exactly as it should be. 620 00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:41,560 Speaker 8: But it's telling Scott that they needed foreign mercenaries to 621 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 8: properly secure this guy. I think it suggests that he 622 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,160 Speaker 8: had a hell of a lot less support in his 623 00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:48,640 Speaker 8: own country than some people would lead you to believe. 624 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,960 Speaker 2: Let me shift focus to the Middle East. You made 625 00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:53,640 Speaker 2: a couple of trips to the Middle East in the 626 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,160 Speaker 2: wake of President Trump brokering the deal. 627 00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 3: To get the living hostages back. 628 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,800 Speaker 2: We haven't heard that much about the is Reel Gaza 629 00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,800 Speaker 2: peace process lately as other things have taken over in 630 00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:07,200 Speaker 2: the news. Any updates for the American people? Are we 631 00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,920 Speaker 2: seeing the results we want to see is Hamas litting 632 00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:11,760 Speaker 2: up to their end of the bargain here? What's the 633 00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,479 Speaker 2: situation on the ground with Israel and Gaza? 634 00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:16,920 Speaker 7: Well, Scott, you said it well. In some ways, there 635 00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:17,760 Speaker 7: are no news is. 636 00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,920 Speaker 8: Good news, right, because as we're trying to accomplish this 637 00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:25,200 Speaker 8: very long term peace process. I think that it suggests 638 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,040 Speaker 8: that the fact that it's not blowing up in a 639 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 8: negative way suggests the President's peace plan is actually working. 640 00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:31,920 Speaker 8: A lot of people didn't give it a whole lot 641 00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:33,920 Speaker 8: of chance, but I think the President brokeer. It's something 642 00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,280 Speaker 8: that does have the capacity to last. Look, he's been 643 00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:39,680 Speaker 8: very clear, Hamas has to disarm. Hamas has to disarm, 644 00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:42,320 Speaker 8: and once that happens, of course, our hope is that 645 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:45,479 Speaker 8: the Arab golf allies in that region the world can 646 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:47,440 Speaker 8: go in there and rebuild and provide a better life 647 00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:49,600 Speaker 8: for the people who live in Gaza. But the first 648 00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:52,000 Speaker 8: and most important step is that AMAS has to disarm. 649 00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:53,479 Speaker 7: We continue to work at it. 650 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:55,720 Speaker 8: If they don't disarm, there are going to be consequences. 651 00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 8: If they do, I think it could lead to a 652 00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,800 Speaker 8: much better and brighter future for everybody. So we continue 653 00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:04,040 Speaker 8: to work on that process. But I think so far, so. 654 00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:06,920 Speaker 3: Good, mister Vice President. We have about twenty seconds left. 655 00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,880 Speaker 2: There's been a lot of conversation in the conservative world 656 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:13,160 Speaker 2: about certain kinds of views that have been espoused by 657 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,080 Speaker 2: certain kinds of people, and they try to drag you. 658 00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:17,160 Speaker 3: Into this conversation all the time. 659 00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,560 Speaker 2: Just for the record, does the conservative movement need to 660 00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:24,920 Speaker 2: warehouse anybody out there espousing anti Semitism in any way? 661 00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:26,880 Speaker 7: No, it doesn't, Scott. 662 00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,040 Speaker 8: I think that we need to reject all forms of 663 00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:32,920 Speaker 8: ethnic hatred, whether it's anti semitism, anti black hatred, anti 664 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:34,440 Speaker 8: white hatred, and I think that's one of the great 665 00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:38,400 Speaker 8: things about the Conservative Coalition is that we are I 666 00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,840 Speaker 8: think fundamentally rooted in the Christian principles that founded the 667 00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:44,320 Speaker 8: United States of America. And one of those very important 668 00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:48,160 Speaker 8: principles is that we judge people as individuals. Every person 669 00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,320 Speaker 8: is made in the image of God. Get judge them 670 00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:52,719 Speaker 8: by what they do, not by what ethnic group they 671 00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,000 Speaker 8: belong to. And I think that principle is important. It's 672 00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,320 Speaker 8: something we got to hold on to in the conservative 673 00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,520 Speaker 8: movement because God knows, the left abandoned it a long 674 00:33:59,560 --> 00:33:59,920 Speaker 8: time ago. 675 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,760 Speaker 2: Vice President Jadie Vance, thanks for joining us today and 676 00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:04,520 Speaker 2: more to com stay with us here on the Scott 677 00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 2: Jtting Show. 678 00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:12,560 Speaker 1: The Voice so free speech, the truth delivered, common sense 679 00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:18,600 Speaker 1: for the American people. Welcome to the Scott Jenning Show. 680 00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:25,080 Speaker 2: All right, Tuesday, January the sixth. It's common sense for 681 00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:28,759 Speaker 2: the American people. Scott Jenting's here on Salem and I 682 00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,920 Speaker 2: want to say thank you again to Vice President Jadie 683 00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:35,240 Speaker 2: Vance for coming by last hour. Had a wide ranging 684 00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:39,759 Speaker 2: conversation with the Vice President. It's quite obvious by the 685 00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:42,480 Speaker 2: way that he is going to be one of the 686 00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:46,120 Speaker 2: leaders of the Republican Party. And conservative movements arguments in 687 00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:48,319 Speaker 2: the twenty twenty six mid term as it relates to 688 00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:51,600 Speaker 2: the economy. Obviously, it's the biggest issue coming up in 689 00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:55,760 Speaker 2: the election, and Vance is so crisp on a talking 690 00:34:55,800 --> 00:35:00,720 Speaker 2: about how the Trump agenda is and will be working 691 00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:04,799 Speaker 2: for the American people in twenty twenty six. But he 692 00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:10,359 Speaker 2: also is extraordinarily articulate on connecting immigration to what we've 693 00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:13,040 Speaker 2: seen in our country as it relates to housing and 694 00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:16,040 Speaker 2: as it relates to wages. And when you hear Vance 695 00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:19,880 Speaker 2: connect what we're doing on immigration, getting people out of 696 00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:23,640 Speaker 2: the country, stopping the mass migration crisis, the flow of 697 00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:26,880 Speaker 2: humanity that was coming across the border. When you hear 698 00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:30,680 Speaker 2: him connect all of that to economic conditions, whether it's 699 00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:34,520 Speaker 2: causing a housing shortage or driving down wages, I think 700 00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:36,520 Speaker 2: it's going to be a very compelling message. And so anyway, 701 00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:38,120 Speaker 2: I just want to say thanks to the Vice President, 702 00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:40,680 Speaker 2: thanks to his team over at the Naval Observatory and 703 00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,200 Speaker 2: in the West Wing for helping him come along to 704 00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:44,600 Speaker 2: the Scott Sheenning Show. 705 00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:46,320 Speaker 3: Guess this hour, one. 706 00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:49,799 Speaker 2: Of the top political consultants in the Republican Party, my 707 00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:54,400 Speaker 2: colleague and fellow CNN commentator Brad Todd is here.

First question was going to be what is 744 00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:36,400 Speaker 2: going on with public opinion on Venezuela. There have been 745 00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:40,040 Speaker 2: some assertions by some political analysts that maybe this isn't 746 00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:42,360 Speaker 2: the most popular thing for Donald Trump to be doing. 747 00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:45,799 Speaker 2: Let's listen to Sean.

Come 756 00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:09,560 Speaker 13: over to this side of the screen after the ousting. 757 00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:11,479 Speaker 3: Look at that the support through the roof. 758 00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,520 Speaker 13: Now we're talking about thirty seven percent, well within the 759 00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:17,160 Speaker 13: margin of era right here, of the opposition thirty eight percent. 760 00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:20,120 Speaker 13: It turns out Americans like what they deem to be 761 00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:24,080 Speaker 13: successful foreign policy operations, and in this case, they view 762 00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:26,040 Speaker 13: the ousting of mcdua, at least up to this point, 763 00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:29,000 Speaker 13: as a Successfuan, and therefore the support way up. 764 00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:30,799 Speaker 11: Brad. 765 00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:32,640 Speaker 2: I'm not sure if you've rejoined us or if you 766 00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:34,440 Speaker 2: could hear any of that, but it seems to me 767 00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:39,759 Speaker 2: that we are seeing because of the competence of what 768 00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:41,120 Speaker 2: Trump did in Venezuela. 769 00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:42,520 Speaker 3: It took like ninety minutes. 770 00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:46,040 Speaker 2: No American soldiers were killed, a few injured, but nobody 771 00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:48,200 Speaker 2: has a critical or life threatening. 772 00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:48,800 Speaker 3: Injuries right now. 773 00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:52,239 Speaker 2: Just the ruthless competence of the American military, I think 774 00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:55,080 Speaker 2: is impressive to the American people, and they're still comparing 775 00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:59,280 Speaker 2: that to what they saw from the previous administration. I mean, obviously, 776 00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:02,239 Speaker 2: the biggest military misapp that we saw before was the 777 00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:04,000 Speaker 2: disasters pulled out from Afghanistan. 778 00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:05,040 Speaker 3: Brad you're back with us. 779 00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:08,640 Speaker 2: Do you have an expectation that the Venezuela operation is 780 00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:12,520 Speaker 2: going to be a net positive for pulling for Donald 781 00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:14,800 Speaker 2: Trump and the Republican Party or is it going to 782 00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:16,640 Speaker 2: be like a lot of foreign affairs issues where it 783 00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:20,080 Speaker 2: may feel good for a few days, but it'll it'll 784 00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:21,600 Speaker 2: take a back seat to domestic matters. 785 00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:25,279 Speaker 12: Well, I think it does tend to have a short 786 00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:28,480 Speaker 12: shelf lif you know, these things. The American people like 787 00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:32,400 Speaker 12: success and they like victory. And this one happened, you know, 788 00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:35,319 Speaker 12: late on a Friday night, on a holiday weekend, and 789 00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:38,480 Speaker 12: so a lot of Americans didn't know what happened until 790 00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:41,400 Speaker 12: well into the next day, and they were somewhat of 791 00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,799 Speaker 12: a news blackout, you know, or maybe a post New 792 00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:47,719 Speaker 12: Year's coma, if you will, recovering from our hangover, as 793 00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:50,399 Speaker 12: it were, And so it didn't quite get as much 794 00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:54,319 Speaker 12: saturation media coverage as you would think. I do think 795 00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:57,280 Speaker 12: it will fade somewhat, but it will also be guided 796 00:39:57,320 --> 00:40:00,520 Speaker 12: by how the President handles what comes next to and 797 00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:03,640 Speaker 12: how that Venezuelan people respond, and if they view this 798 00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:07,520 Speaker 12: as liberation and things get stable there, I think it 799 00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:10,080 Speaker 12: will be seen as a bureau feather in the president's cap. 800 00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:14,719 Speaker 2: Brad Todd's our guest, renowned GOP political consultant, Brad A 801 00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:16,719 Speaker 2: couple of minutes left here in this segment, I want 802 00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:19,440 Speaker 2: to turn our attention to the twenty twenty six Senate races. 803 00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:21,240 Speaker 3: You've done hundreds of races around the country. 804 00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:24,360 Speaker 2: Let me take through a few states and get a quick, 805 00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:30,320 Speaker 2: like horse racing handicappers analysis of each race. Let's start 806 00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:33,560 Speaker 2: in Maine. Susan Collins is the Republican there. There's a 807 00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:37,560 Speaker 2: Democratic primary between a guy named Plattner who had a 808 00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:40,279 Speaker 2: Nazi tattoo, not making that up, and the governor of 809 00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:40,800 Speaker 2: the state. 810 00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:43,120 Speaker 3: Janet Mills. 811 00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:46,240 Speaker 2: I know Platner just raised four points seven million dollars 812 00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:47,000 Speaker 2: in the last quarter. 813 00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:48,600 Speaker 3: What's your handicap on Maine. 814 00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:53,520 Speaker 12: Well, you know, Susan Collins ran seven points ahead of 815 00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:54,960 Speaker 12: Donald Trump in twenty twenty. 816 00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:57,640 Speaker 11: She'll probably have to do something like that again. 817 00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:02,160 Speaker 12: And he has deep relationships in the state, and she 818 00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:04,640 Speaker 12: has a lot of individual Democrats who know her personally. 819 00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:06,240 Speaker 11: So I think that's possible. 820 00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:09,040 Speaker 12: But it is the hardest seat that's up for Republicans 821 00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:09,920 Speaker 12: to hold this time. 822 00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:13,279 Speaker 2: North Carolina, we have an open seat there till Us 823 00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:17,520 Speaker 2: the Republicans stepping down. Former RNC chair Watley is going 824 00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:19,520 Speaker 2: to be the Republican. He does have a primary, but 825 00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:21,560 Speaker 2: he's got Trump support. Not going to be an issue. 826 00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:25,759 Speaker 2: Former Governor Cooper the Democrat. What's you read on North Carolina? 827 00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:29,040 Speaker 11: I think it's the heart oft state for either party 828 00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:29,399 Speaker 11: this time. 829 00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:31,279 Speaker 12: You say what, I would call it World War three 830 00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:35,200 Speaker 12: of twenty two. This will be the most expensive Senate 831 00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:39,920 Speaker 12: race of all time in history and American history. Michael 832 00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:42,280 Speaker 12: Watton is a great guy. He's a very talented person. 833 00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:45,280 Speaker 12: He's very close to the president. President has his trust, 834 00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:48,600 Speaker 12: He heals the President's trust, and so I think that 835 00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:52,040 Speaker 12: that is going to mean that he's to have unlimited money. 836 00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:54,080 Speaker 11: Roy Cooper has. 837 00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:58,760 Speaker 12: Been elected in North Carolina, but Dodge's a really tough 838 00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:00,000 Speaker 12: issue that hurt Democrats. 839 00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:04,320 Speaker 3: To dodge me a couple of more real quick before 840 00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:04,680 Speaker 3: the break. 841 00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:08,839 Speaker 2: Michigan open seat Rogers is the Republican Democratic primary. Can 842 00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:10,680 Speaker 2: the Republicans pick off a step in Michigan? 843 00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:14,640 Speaker 11: Uh, Well, it's a good state for President Trump. 844 00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:17,480 Speaker 12: It's not always a great state in the off year 845 00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:19,600 Speaker 12: this year, but I think this one might be different. 846 00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:20,040 Speaker 11: Uh. 847 00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:25,080 Speaker 12: The Democratic primary is a mess, and the Washington Democrats 848 00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:27,680 Speaker 12: have thrown their lot with a congresswoman named Haley Stevens, 849 00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,600 Speaker 12: who they think is the most moderate of the three. 850 00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:34,440 Speaker 12: I think she may finish third Scott in the Democratic primary. 851 00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:34,920 Speaker 2: Uh. 852 00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:37,640 Speaker 12: And if she does, I think that that spells real 853 00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:39,120 Speaker 12: trouble for them in the general election. 854 00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:39,880 Speaker 7: Uh. 855 00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:43,640 Speaker 12: The governor's race is also gonna The Republican candidate for 856 00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:46,480 Speaker 12: governors stronger, John James, he declined our firm. 857 00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:48,000 Speaker 11: He's run state. 858 00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:52,680 Speaker 12: He's probably the early favorite, and that helps Republicans do 859 00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:54,400 Speaker 12: ten seconds. 860 00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:57,319 Speaker 2: On Georgia, the Democratic company is asso Off Kemp, the 861 00:42:57,360 --> 00:43:00,160 Speaker 2: governor did not enter the race. Can Republicans win in 862 00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:01,440 Speaker 2: Georgia in twenty six. 863 00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:06,480 Speaker 12: John Ausoff's an accidental Senator Rafael Warnock carried him across 864 00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:09,920 Speaker 12: the line. I don't know who you Republican nominee is 865 00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:12,520 Speaker 12: gonna be, but this race is there for the taking 866 00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:15,000 Speaker 12: if Republicans can build a strong campaign with him. 867 00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:20,000 Speaker 2: All right, Republican consultant Brad's Todd as our guest.

When we come back, it's Scott 892 00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:26,319 Speaker 3: Jennings on Salem, the man. 893 00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:29,440 Speaker 1: We've made CNN safe for conservatives again. 894 00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:34,120 Speaker 5: Here Scott Jennings. 895 00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:36,160 Speaker 2: Tuesday, January sixth, Scott Jennings here on Salem. Special guest 896 00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:40,799 Speaker 2: today Brad Todd, Republican consultant extraordinary. Also my friend and 897 00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:46,560 Speaker 2: colleague from CNN. He appears on various programs across the network. 898 00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:49,960 Speaker 2: Just talking a little politics with Brad today, Brad want 899 00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:52,920 Speaker 2: to shift gears to New York City. Mont Donnie is 900 00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:57,200 Speaker 2: just a few days into his administration. He's had some 901 00:44:57,280 --> 00:45:00,920 Speaker 2: bangers so far, whether it's the rugged individual versus the 902 00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:05,360 Speaker 2: warm collectivism, or appointing the lady who wants to confiscate 903 00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:09,640 Speaker 2: everybody's property. Let's listen to mom Donnie tackle the pressing 904 00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:13,520 Speaker 2: issue of the cost of World Cup soccer tickets. 905 00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:14,479 Speaker 3: Here's the mayor. 906 00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:16,920 Speaker 9: You know, I had a New Yorker the other day 907 00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:18,440 Speaker 9: come up to me and ask me if there was 908 00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:20,640 Speaker 9: any way I could help them get World Cup tickets 909 00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:22,279 Speaker 9: because he was saying that the cost that he saw 910 00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:24,920 Speaker 9: for a game was six hundred dollars. Right, this is 911 00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:28,600 Speaker 9: increasingly out of reach. We have made what used to 912 00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:32,160 Speaker 9: be a working class game into a luxury experience, and 913 00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:34,160 Speaker 9: there are too many for whom it doesn't matter where 914 00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:36,160 Speaker 9: the World Cup is being played in the world. They 915 00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:38,319 Speaker 9: know where they're going to watch it. It's TV, and 916 00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:40,840 Speaker 9: we want to ensure that there are more experiences available 917 00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:41,520 Speaker 9: to each and ever New. 918 00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:46,080 Speaker 2: York, Brad, is this the agenda of the Democratic Party 919 00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:49,520 Speaker 2: reducing the cost of World Cup soccer tickets? 920 00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:55,000 Speaker 12: You know, Mom, Donnie winning the mayor's race in New 921 00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:57,920 Speaker 12: York was really the only bright spot for Republicans on 922 00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:00,680 Speaker 12: the November elections. He is, It's just going to be 923 00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:03,440 Speaker 12: the gift that keeps on giving. And I think the 924 00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:07,040 Speaker 12: problem for Democrats is that he views himself as a 925 00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:10,200 Speaker 12: world leader. He views himself as an actor on the 926 00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:13,200 Speaker 12: world stage. He's not talking about just World Cup tickets 927 00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:16,120 Speaker 12: in New York. He's talking about World Cup tickets everywhere. 928 00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:19,200 Speaker 12: And I think as long as he's willing to be 929 00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:23,319 Speaker 12: the leader of the American Democratic Party, we should let him. 930 00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:26,440 Speaker 2: I saw a headline, by the way, this was a 931 00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:30,240 Speaker 2: couple of days old. The headline said Mayor Mam Donnie quote. 932 00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:34,400 Speaker 2: South Africa is the model for New York. Mam Donnie 933 00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:37,640 Speaker 2: gave an interview in which he declared that post apartheid 934 00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:41,680 Speaker 2: South Africa should be the example of how New York 935 00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:45,000 Speaker 2: City should be governed. I guess that means we're interested in, 936 00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:50,400 Speaker 2: I don't know, rolling blackouts, collapsing infrastructure, massive amounts of crime, 937 00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:54,200 Speaker 2: and exodus of anyone who can afford to get out. 938 00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:57,479 Speaker 2: Is that the future of democratic governance in New York City? 939 00:46:57,520 --> 00:46:59,760 Speaker 2: And not just there, but you got a socialist slash 940 00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:01,719 Speaker 2: com I mean it's mayor of Seattle. You've got people 941 00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:04,040 Speaker 2: trying to emulate them all over the country. Is is 942 00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:07,400 Speaker 2: that really where the energy is in the Democratic Party? 943 00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:09,480 Speaker 12: I think it is. And I think it's hoo can 944 00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:11,680 Speaker 12: out crazy the other one. And you know, we have 945 00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:14,120 Speaker 12: that problem the right. If you remember back in the 946 00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:16,440 Speaker 12: Tea Party days, we could have won control of the 947 00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:20,200 Speaker 12: United States Senate in ten or twenty twelve of the 948 00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:22,759 Speaker 12: fact that we just kept pushing further and further right 949 00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:25,839 Speaker 12: in the primaries, nominated the wrong people. I think that's 950 00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:29,479 Speaker 12: the Mamdani effect. It's going to hurt Democrats this year 951 00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:33,319 Speaker 12: in mid terms. They're going to nominate people can't win 952 00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:36,879 Speaker 12: seats that were otherwise winnable for Democrats, and that maybe 953 00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:41,160 Speaker 12: Grand Platner, it may be in Maine, and maybe one 954 00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:44,719 Speaker 12: not named Hailey Stevens in Michigan. I think that they 955 00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:48,960 Speaker 12: are going to find themselves with candidates that are subpar 956 00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:51,719 Speaker 12: for them. I mean, Mamdani only got fifty one per 957 00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:55,440 Speaker 12: in New York against really flawed candidates, and so that's 958 00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:57,680 Speaker 12: the most liberal city in the country. So I think 959 00:47:57,719 --> 00:47:59,919 Speaker 12: that this problem is going to trickle down. 960 00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:04,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, people keep asking me about my expectations for the 961 00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:08,400 Speaker 2: mid terms. I feel for Republicans fairly decent about the Senate. 962 00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:10,360 Speaker 3: To be honest, the House is TBD for me. 963 00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:12,160 Speaker 2: You've got we still don't know what the maps are, 964 00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:14,680 Speaker 2: and you've got the whole idea of Section two the 965 00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:16,799 Speaker 2: Voting Rights Act being dealt with by the Supreme Court 966 00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:19,520 Speaker 2: laying out there. But this issue you just raised, who 967 00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:22,800 Speaker 2: are the Democrats going to nominate? Who are they going 968 00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:24,960 Speaker 2: to put on the ballot? I mean we saw an 969 00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:27,080 Speaker 2: example of this down in your home state of Tennessee 970 00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:30,640 Speaker 2: in the seat just outside in Nashville in that special election. 971 00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:35,120 Speaker 2: I mean they nominated a certifiable Looney Tunes down there. 972 00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:38,320 Speaker 2: I mean it was a total mismatch for the district 973 00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:41,160 Speaker 2: down there, and I just I don't know, Brad, I 974 00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:44,400 Speaker 2: have a feeling, I have a feeling we are going 975 00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:48,240 Speaker 2: to see some We're going to see some looney tunes 976 00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:52,480 Speaker 2: nominated across the country and may limit the upside for 977 00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:55,480 Speaker 2: Democrats and a midterm in which they might otherwise expect 978 00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:57,279 Speaker 2: to do well.

She was the vice president 1064 00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:09,799 Speaker 2: under Maduro. Some people say she's worse than he is, 1065 00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:13,520 Speaker 2: that she's the actual power behind the cartel there, and 1066 00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:16,320 Speaker 2: there's obviously people left in the government that are loyal 1067 00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:20,919 Speaker 2: to Maduro. What is your assessment of what Rodriguez will 1068 00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:24,919 Speaker 2: do as the acting president of Venezuela and what do you, 1069 00:54:25,239 --> 00:54:28,800 Speaker 2: as the former legitimate president of Venezuela want to see 1070 00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:31,439 Speaker 2: happen next? Is it time for elections and if yes, 1071 00:54:31,480 --> 00:54:32,760 Speaker 2: how quickly should that occur. 1072 00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:37,400 Speaker 14: Well, we're not naive about the situation back in Venezuela 1073 00:54:37,440 --> 00:54:40,440 Speaker 14: and the President Trump isn't by the way, and also 1074 00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:45,360 Speaker 14: Marco Rugo. That's why they say President Trump pound State 1075 00:54:45,680 --> 00:54:51,439 Speaker 14: Secretary Marco Rugo. They see has the same destiny if 1076 00:54:51,840 --> 00:54:56,319 Speaker 14: they don't cooperate. I mean, we're not knife they see 1077 00:54:56,440 --> 00:55:01,040 Speaker 14: is the acting dictator in this moment of the facto 1078 00:55:01,080 --> 00:55:04,879 Speaker 14: situation back in Venezuela. But it's a smart move from 1079 00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:09,920 Speaker 14: President Drom because as you know, Scott, we have awfully 1080 00:55:10,920 --> 00:55:14,000 Speaker 14: and in a very bad way, the el n the 1081 00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:18,520 Speaker 14: far dizion back in Venezuela, drug curtails operating in the country. 1082 00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:23,480 Speaker 14: The elite of the army forces are a corup one. 1083 00:55:23,600 --> 00:55:27,160 Speaker 14: So this is a process, this is a transition. This 1084 00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:30,400 Speaker 14: is a smart one. We need to achieve a fully 1085 00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:35,919 Speaker 14: transition to democracy, to raiin institutional side our country and 1086 00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:41,279 Speaker 14: that in this short term passed through an acting dictator 1087 00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:46,160 Speaker 14: because del see no one voting for she for him. 1088 00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:49,640 Speaker 14: I mean, this is an important moment to our in 1089 00:55:49,719 --> 00:55:53,160 Speaker 14: the opposition make also a smart move to get back 1090 00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:58,520 Speaker 14: to our country and to start rebuilding process with the 1091 00:55:58,680 --> 00:56:00,760 Speaker 14: United States of America. 1092 00:56:01,040 --> 00:56:05,680 Speaker 2: Can the United States trust Delsi Rodriguez. I hear what 1093 00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:08,719 Speaker 2: she says what our leaders say that she says. I 1094 00:56:08,760 --> 00:56:12,160 Speaker 2: see some of her public statements. Is this person someone 1095 00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:15,080 Speaker 2: that can be trusted, even in the short term, to 1096 00:56:15,120 --> 00:56:17,160 Speaker 2: do what's right by the people of Venezuela. 1097 00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:20,800 Speaker 14: Well, I can say certainly that the US and President 1098 00:56:20,800 --> 00:56:25,360 Speaker 14: Trump does not trust in Desirodios. That's why they put 1099 00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:28,719 Speaker 14: she in between the store and the wall. I don't 1100 00:56:28,719 --> 00:56:32,520 Speaker 14: know if the translation to the English is literally, but 1101 00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:39,040 Speaker 14: I have to quote President Trump. If she does say incorporate, 1102 00:56:39,560 --> 00:56:42,799 Speaker 14: she's gonna face the same destiny of Mahuro. I mean, 1103 00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:50,560 Speaker 14: that's not trust Delia. That's certainly that she has to 1104 00:56:50,600 --> 00:56:54,319 Speaker 14: make the correct move in this moment. And I have 1105 00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:58,200 Speaker 14: to say, Delsi is walking in athen Ice. You know, 1106 00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:03,880 Speaker 14: there are the Queans, the Russians, the Iranians back in Venezuela. 1107 00:57:03,960 --> 00:57:08,960 Speaker 14: And in this moment, Delsi knows perfectly that the opposition 1108 00:57:09,200 --> 00:57:15,399 Speaker 14: is majority in Venezuela, not only by Macarina, my child, 1109 00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:19,040 Speaker 14: but also that in three hours it's called only three 1110 00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:23,240 Speaker 14: hours in a Flowers operation, they took a criminal like 1111 00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:27,120 Speaker 14: Manuro to face Josephs in the US. That it's not 1112 00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:30,760 Speaker 14: only for Venezuelans. By the way, that's also to the region, 1113 00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:34,640 Speaker 14: to the war, that the impunity is over, that the 1114 00:57:34,640 --> 00:57:40,160 Speaker 14: criminals are going to face justice, and that it's a 1115 00:57:40,280 --> 00:57:43,960 Speaker 14: good news for the economy, for the stabilization of the 1116 00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:49,240 Speaker 14: continent and the war. By the way, it's over the 1117 00:57:49,240 --> 00:57:55,920 Speaker 14: era that dictators like Manuro can act impunity around here. 1118 00:57:56,080 --> 00:57:57,480 Speaker 10: It's a good news, I have to say. 1119 00:57:58,400 --> 00:58:00,920 Speaker 2: Let me ask you about the foreign countries that have 1120 00:58:01,040 --> 00:58:04,360 Speaker 2: been involved with Maduro in Venezuela. You mentioned the Cubans, 1121 00:58:04,360 --> 00:58:07,560 Speaker 2: and we know that at a minimum thirty two Cuban 1122 00:58:07,600 --> 00:58:09,840 Speaker 2: guards were killed by the United States. A lot of 1123 00:58:09,840 --> 00:58:12,560 Speaker 2: people think that number is much higher. We know Russia 1124 00:58:12,640 --> 00:58:15,960 Speaker 2: had interests in the country. The Iranians were there, We 1125 00:58:16,040 --> 00:58:18,320 Speaker 2: know the Chinese were there. In fact, there were reports 1126 00:58:18,320 --> 00:58:21,120 Speaker 2: that Chinese diplomats were in the capital the night that 1127 00:58:21,200 --> 00:58:25,320 Speaker 2: Maduro was arrested. Can you describe for us just how 1128 00:58:25,440 --> 00:58:30,880 Speaker 2: deeply embedded these anti American countries were with the Maduro 1129 00:58:30,960 --> 00:58:34,280 Speaker 2: regime and why it is necessary for us to get 1130 00:58:34,280 --> 00:58:37,840 Speaker 2: their influence out of Venezuela and out of the Western hemisphere. 1131 00:58:38,560 --> 00:58:40,840 Speaker 14: Well, it's good, as you know, Venezuela have the largest 1132 00:58:40,840 --> 00:58:43,960 Speaker 14: oil reserved in the world. Venezuela three hours flight from 1133 00:58:43,960 --> 00:58:47,439 Speaker 14: here from Miami to Caracas, only three hour flight. I'm 1134 00:58:47,440 --> 00:58:50,120 Speaker 14: closer than Caracas than New York. 1135 00:58:50,160 --> 00:58:50,600 Speaker 10: By the way. 1136 00:58:50,880 --> 00:58:54,840 Speaker 14: In this moment from Miami, we have jurors denouncing the 1137 00:58:54,920 --> 00:59:01,200 Speaker 14: Cubans operations back in Venezuela and Paradoxico BS and confess 1138 00:59:01,400 --> 00:59:05,720 Speaker 14: that the inner security circle of Maluro was Cuban. I 1139 00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:10,560 Speaker 14: mean they confessed the interference was a foreign country in 1140 00:59:10,640 --> 00:59:15,480 Speaker 14: Venezuela and was the Cuban, by the way, not the US, 1141 00:59:15,520 --> 00:59:21,760 Speaker 14: not the Cubans, was interfering in our country without our permission, 1142 00:59:21,800 --> 00:59:25,440 Speaker 14: by the way, by the way, because the interim government 1143 00:59:25,440 --> 00:59:29,560 Speaker 14: that I represent five years ago worked with the US 1144 00:59:29,720 --> 00:59:32,600 Speaker 14: and we want to and in this moment this is 1145 00:59:32,600 --> 00:59:37,160 Speaker 14: a huge opportunity, not only to see a good or 1146 00:59:37,200 --> 00:59:40,840 Speaker 14: a great USA. I mean, and you know, the drug 1147 00:59:40,880 --> 00:59:44,920 Speaker 14: car turils, the terrorism, the regional terrorisms, the economy, the 1148 00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:48,280 Speaker 14: largest oil reserve in this moment have to be have 1149 00:59:48,440 --> 00:59:52,200 Speaker 14: to deal with Venezuela. This man, but also the Chinese, 1150 00:59:52,240 --> 00:59:56,360 Speaker 14: the Iranians, the Russians have in this moment to get 1151 00:59:56,360 --> 01:00:00,800 Speaker 14: out of Venezuela. I mean, we need good cooperation with 1152 01:00:00,880 --> 01:00:04,160 Speaker 14: the US and in a good way. This is a 1153 01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:08,920 Speaker 14: huge step to stabilize the region, to stop demigration, to 1154 01:00:09,120 --> 01:00:12,280 Speaker 14: stop that drug cartels. 1155 01:00:12,560 --> 01:00:13,720 Speaker 10: And it's a correct move. 1156 01:00:13,840 --> 01:00:18,920 Speaker 14: And this is interesting thing because Maluro was financing the 1157 01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:22,880 Speaker 14: Tube and regime with our oil. I mean in an 1158 01:00:23,040 --> 01:00:27,920 Speaker 14: indirect way. Venezuelans and we don't like this are financing 1159 01:00:27,960 --> 01:00:31,479 Speaker 14: the oppression back in Cuba.

So we know that 1228 01:04:43,960 --> 01:04:47,720 Speaker 14: the transition is not complete. Both for the first time 1229 01:04:47,760 --> 01:04:51,480 Speaker 14: in a long time, Venezuela feels that that the resistance, 1230 01:04:51,840 --> 01:04:57,280 Speaker 14: that our boats or sacrifices, their refusal to give up 1231 01:04:58,160 --> 01:05:01,240 Speaker 14: was not in vain.

That's our path forward in short term. And 1235 01:05:17,880 --> 01:05:22,760 Speaker 14: of course, as I say said before, that's possible because 1236 01:05:22,840 --> 01:05:28,080 Speaker 14: the determination of the President Trump, the Secretary of State, 1237 01:05:28,280 --> 01:05:33,080 Speaker 14: Marco Ruby, the War Secretary pit headget. I have to 1238 01:05:33,320 --> 01:05:37,080 Speaker 14: say thank you to the brave mens that take down 1239 01:05:38,080 --> 01:05:43,840 Speaker 14: in with justice.

That's not happened in Venezuela twenty 1246 01:06:03,040 --> 01:06:06,360 Speaker 14: years ago. By the way, that's why I'm excited. That's 1247 01:06:06,440 --> 01:06:10,439 Speaker 14: why my two little girls and Amili, Venezuelans walk through 1248 01:06:10,480 --> 01:06:16,959 Speaker 14: rivers to kilometers of highways trying to reach opportunities and 1249 01:06:17,440 --> 01:06:21,640 Speaker 14: getting away from that communism and socialism that destroy Venezuela. 1250 01:06:22,680 --> 01:06:24,880 Speaker 2: One I've got about thirty seconds left.

What do you say to those people 1255 01:06:37,680 --> 01:06:40,720 Speaker 2: on the streets who were holding signs that say free 1256 01:06:40,840 --> 01:06:42,760 Speaker 2: Maduro and send them back to Venezuela. 1257 01:06:43,480 --> 01:06:46,480 Speaker 14: Well, they have the opportunity that say that, we think 1258 01:06:46,720 --> 01:06:49,840 Speaker 14: in the street in a free country, if you do 1259 01:06:49,960 --> 01:06:53,640 Speaker 14: that in Venezuela's good. They killed you, they tortured you, 1260 01:06:54,240 --> 01:06:57,160 Speaker 14: So they can't say that because this is a free country. 1261 01:06:58,120 --> 01:07:02,880 Speaker 14: This is a liberty country, and justice has made to 1262 01:07:02,960 --> 01:07:08,320 Speaker 14: a criminal.
