Governor Tim Wallas in Minnesota did the opposite, 10 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:43,360 Speaker 2: He pardoned a child rapist who was in this country illegally. 11 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,159 Speaker 2: Will dive into the details of that case shortly, and 12 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 2: we welcome to the show today Tommy Piggott, the new 13 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 2: spokesperson from the US State Department, to discuss and it 14 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 2: is Friday. You know what that means, Friday punditry. And 15 00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 2: we're joined by our pundit of the week, our friend 16 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 2: Jillian Michaels, comes by this afternoon. Today is Friday, July 17 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 2: the tenth. We broadcast today from Louisville, Kentucky. On this day, 18 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 2: nineteen twenty five, one of the most famous trials of 19 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,679 Speaker 2: the twentieth century began in Dayton, Tennessee. It was called 20 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 2: the Scopes Monkey Trial, featuring two of the most skilled 21 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 2: orators of the era, William Jennings Bryan arguing for the 22 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:30,400 Speaker 2: prosecution and Clarence Darrow arguing for the defense. The issue 23 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 2: in the case was a debate over the teaching of 24 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 2: Charles Darwin's theory of evolution. The trial was limited to 25 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 2: a single question of whether school teacher John T. Scopes 26 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 2: had taught evolution in the classroom, which he admittedly had. 27 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 2: He was convicted and fined one hundred dollars for violating 28 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 2: that Tennessee state law outlawing the teaching of the theory. 29 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 2: On appeal, the state Supreme Court acquitted Scopes on the 30 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 2: technicality that he had been excess civilly fined. The law 31 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 2: was eventually repealed, but not until nineteen sixty seven. As 32 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 2: for today's courtroom drama, we look to the West Utah, 33 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 2: where the hearing for alleged Charlie Kirk murderer Tyler Robinson 34 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 2: continues today. Now, Charlie was murdered ten months ago, this 35 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 2: very day, the pre trial hearing will conclude. 36 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 3: Although the judge in the. 37 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 2: Case, Judge Graff says he's not making any decisions about 38 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,679 Speaker 2: moving forward with a murder trial until at least September, 39 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 2: so the Kirk family, it seems, will have to wait 40 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 2: longer for justice in this case. There was dramatic courtroom 41 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:45,079 Speaker 2: testimony yesterday that left little doubt that Robinson had confessed 42 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 2: to the murder to his lover, Lance Twiggs, whose voice 43 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 2: was heard in the courtroom. Here's part of that videotape testimony, 44 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 2: cut number eight. 45 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 4: So he actually there radically? 46 00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 5: Was he pacing? 47 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:01,799 Speaker 4: Are they just sitting down relaxing? 48 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 6: Now? 49 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 5: He was walking around a lot and that's within the home. 50 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 5: And did he talk about what he had done? Didn't 51 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 5: go into detail. 52 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 6: He just I just asked him impersonate what he said 53 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 6: was true the night before, and he said it was. 54 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 6: I started crying a little bit and said he wishes 55 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:30,360 Speaker 6: he hadn't done it, and then kept going around. Didn't 56 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,639 Speaker 6: just doing stuff I think to keep himself busy or 57 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 6: distracted or something. 58 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 2: Now, as the conspiracy theorist like Candace Owens continued to 59 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 2: run amok on the internet, this week's proceedings in Utah 60 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 2: show a straightforward murder case where there is evidence and 61 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 2: testimony and a confession. Now, later in the show, we'll 62 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 2: talk to a Utah County commissioner who will talk to 63 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 2: us about the toll all of this has taken on her. 64 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 2: Now have you been following this situation in Minnesota with 65 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 2: this illegal alien who sexually assaulted a ten year old 66 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 2: girl and then received a pardon from Governor Tim Walls. 67 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 2: The facts here are crazy. Walls granted a pardon last 68 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 2: month to a man named Too lu Vang, an illegal 69 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,720 Speaker 2: alien from Laos who had been convicted in two thousand 70 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:30,279 Speaker 2: and six of repeatedly sexually assaulting a ten year old girl. 71 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 2: The pardon erased his state conviction despite objections from prosecutors. Now, 72 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:42,280 Speaker 2: why would Tim Walls pardon someone who had been sexually 73 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 2: assaulting a little girl for years? I'll tell you why. 74 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:50,039 Speaker 2: Because he was trying to protect that illegal alien from 75 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 2: being deported from the United States. Tim Walls wanted to 76 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 2: keep this violent illegal alien in our country. It is sickening. 77 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 2: But today, today the US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, 78 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 2: has stepped in and corrected this situation. I want you 79 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 2: to listen to this important announcement from Marco Rubio and 80 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 2: cut five. 81 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 7: Just weeks ago, a convicted sex offender and a foreign 82 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 7: national which shielded from deportation by the governor of Minnesota. 83 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 7: Laotian national to Lie Vang was convicted of repeatedly sexually 84 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 7: abusing a ten year old girl in the state of Minnesota. 85 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 7: He even tried to pay his victim for her silence, 86 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 7: and he called as heinous crimes a minor thing. Just 87 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,159 Speaker 7: days before this foreign sex offender was scheduled to be deported, 88 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 7: Tim Waltz, the Governor, issued him a pardon, setting him 89 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 7: free to once again in danger the children of America. Well, 90 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 7: this week, I revoked his legal status in the United 91 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,599 Speaker 7: States and as a result, federal agents took him into 92 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 7: custody and as of today, he has been removed from 93 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 7: the United States. Because of our action, this foreign criminal 94 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 7: will never pose a threat to any American ever again. 95 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,039 Speaker 7: Americans must never be forced by their elected leaders to 96 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,359 Speaker 7: live alongside foreign sex criminals, who have no right to 97 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:09,479 Speaker 7: begin with, to reside in our country. This administration will 98 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 7: always stand with the American people and defend them from 99 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:14,279 Speaker 7: violent criminals. 100 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,280 Speaker 2: Can you imagine a bigger difference in the two parties 101 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 2: than what this case shows us. You have Democrat Tim 102 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 2: Walls using his political power to keep a violent illegal 103 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:31,799 Speaker 2: alien in our country, and you have Republican Marco Rubio 104 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,840 Speaker 2: using his political power to get this person out of 105 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 2: our country. Every Democrat ought to be asked, who do 106 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 2: you side with in this case? Every single one of them. 107 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:46,840 Speaker 2: But I'm sure they won't be coming up. At the 108 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 2: bottom of the hour, Tommy Piggott from the US State 109 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,599 Speaker 2: Department joins us to discuss this case and also the 110 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:57,480 Speaker 2: State Department's new push to rally the international community against 111 00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 2: left wing political violence. 112 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 3: We have some breaking news this just in. 113 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 2: Federal prosecutors have indicted eight men for the alleged terrorism 114 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 2: plot that was foiled against the UFC fight at the 115 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 2: White House last month. Here's US Attorney Dominic Jerrasi cut Ten. 116 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 8: The allegations in this indictment we allege show that these 117 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 8: men were not simply airing grievances from behind their keyboards 118 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 8: and sharing like minded political ideologies. 119 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 4: Rather, they took action. 120 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 8: To carry out a plot to attack the UFC Freedom 121 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 8: two fifty event and to murder federal officials at the 122 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 8: highest levels of our government. 123 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 2: Now, the details of this plot are rather chilling. Just 124 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 2: listen here to FBI Special Agent Jason Cromarty cut number eleven. 125 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 9: Through this investigation, we learned the group allegedly planned to 126 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 9: carry out a mass casualty attack involving the use of 127 00:07:56,120 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 9: drones armed with explosives and farms meant to shoot people 128 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 9: fleeing in the crowds. Our command posts also included membership 129 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 9: of the Secret Service and other partners to share information 130 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 9: in real time and to helping sure no violence occurred 131 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 9: at the White House, UFC event or any other high 132 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 9: profile events. 133 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 2: Now, these indictments were handed down in the state of Ohio, 134 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 2: So you have eight people here facing terrorism charges. Now, 135 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 2: remember who was at this event, the UFC fight. He 136 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 2: had President Trump, Vice President vance Elon Musk, many cabinet officials, 137 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 2: many members of Congress. Could have been bad. Thank goodness, 138 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 2: it was thwarted. We have fresh evidence today that the 139 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 2: Democratic Party simply cannot break its allegiance to the transgender 140 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,960 Speaker 2: ideology cult, which has cost that party dearly. Consider what's 141 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 2: happening in New York City. Mayor Mom Donnie and the 142 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 2: city council there just approved a budget that spends seven 143 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 2: million dollars for transgender equity and gender non conforming programs, 144 00:08:55,800 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 2: including funding for transgender housing initiatives and several lg BTQ 145 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 2: advocacy organizations. Now what was missing from the city budget 146 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 2: funding for the five hundred and eighty additional police officers 147 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,959 Speaker 2: that Mamdani had previously promised. So they have money for 148 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 2: transgender equity, but not for new cops in New York City. 149 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 2: And then there's Colorado, where Democratic congressional candidate and state 150 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 2: Representative Manny Routinell is facing scrutiny for backing legislation to 151 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 2: fund transgender surgeries for prisoners. Over a million dollars went 152 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:32,199 Speaker 2: to these kinds of procedures. It all begs a larger question, 153 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 2: why haven't the Democrats learned any lessons? From twenty twenty four? 154 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 2: These types of things badly hurt Kamala Harris's presidential campaign, 155 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 2: but now Democrats doubling down on it in twenty six, 156 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 2: and I suspect they will again in twenty twenty eight. 157 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 2: Also today, two hundred and fifty years ago, Americans launched 158 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 2: a powerful idea that we were meant to live, free, 159 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 2: free to work hard, free to move, free to enjoy 160 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 2: life without being held back. However, if every day aches 161 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 2: and pains are slowing you down.

Right after this on the Scott Jenning. 175 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:53,440 Speaker 10: Show, Saving Western Civilization, One busted leftist narrative at a time. 176 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 4: It's the Scott Jenny Show. 177 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,679 Speaker 2: All Right, Friday, July the tenth, Let's check in on 178 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 2: the situation with Iran. President Trump has made a statement today. 179 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 2: He says the ceasefire is over, but talks may be 180 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 2: resuming with Iran. There's some reporting today that the mediators 181 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 2: who'd been working with the United States in Iran are 182 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 2: scrambling to try to put some kind of talks back together. 183 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 2: Here to discuss all of it, plus the military resumption 184 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:25,560 Speaker 2: of military activity is Brent Sadler, Senior research fellow over 185 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 2: at the Heritage Foundation. 186 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 3: Brent, welcome back into the show. Let's start here. 187 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 2: You've been watching the military activities that have resumed over 188 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,319 Speaker 2: the last couple of days. Based on your review of that, 189 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 2: what can you tell us what kind of targets are 190 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 2: we going after? 191 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:41,559 Speaker 5: Now? 192 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 2: What is the nature of this military activity, What sorts 193 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 2: of things are we targeting? 194 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 11: Well, it appears, well, thanks for having back on your show, 195 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 11: but it appears by what's out there so far in 196 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:59,319 Speaker 11: the public domain, the vast majority of these strikes, getting 197 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,960 Speaker 11: upwards to almost two hundred in the last almost three 198 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 11: days now, are after or centered in the straight oh Harmuz, 199 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 11: going after the naval facilities, the launch pads for their drones, 200 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 11: and their anti ship missiles, some of them fairly good 201 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 11: distance inland. That appears to be the vast majority of 202 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 11: the attacks. It's not the only, i'd say, one that 203 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 11: really emblematic of Another category of these strikes is was 204 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,080 Speaker 11: a bridge that was just too well, actually not just 205 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 11: but you know, to the east northeast of Tehran. It's 206 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 11: part of the railway junction head and highways leading into 207 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 11: or across the border ostensibly from China and Russia, perhaps 208 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 11: an avenue for bringing in resupply. So there's also attacks 209 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 11: against you know, national level militarily important infrastructure that could 210 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 11: be used to resupply reart of the country. 211 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 2: Brent, as we watch this military activity unfold, and as 212 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 2: you see what the Iranians have done here, I mean 213 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 2: we had a memoranum of understanding, we had a you know, 214 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 2: a ceasefire, and yet you still saw IRGC elements choosing 215 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 2: to fire missiles and attack drones at the United States 216 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 2: and at other countries in the region. 217 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 3: What does that tell you? 218 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,679 Speaker 2: I mean, did do you foresee a situation where we're 219 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 2: ever going to get to a place where a ceasefire 220 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 2: actually means a ceasefire, where a peace process means a 221 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 2: peace process. Or are we just sort of in for 222 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,200 Speaker 2: military you know, at a minimum monitoring and at a 223 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 2: maximum activity for a long time. 224 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,840 Speaker 11: I think that's right. I think that's always to be expected. 225 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,680 Speaker 11: When dealing with this regime in Tehran. The MoU and 226 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 11: the ceasefire that was kind of holding that enabled it 227 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 11: to be signed was never really a perfect ceasefire, and 228 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 11: it certainly wasn't an agreement nor certainly not a treaty. 229 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 11: It was really kind of a way to kind of 230 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 11: like set a gentleman's agreement or a handshake and you know, 231 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 11: real estate kind of business parlance to say, here's the 232 00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,960 Speaker 11: concept we're going to go forward with on which the 233 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 11: build trust in faith that the Iranians as well as 234 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 11: US had the same vision on how to bring things 235 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 11: to an end didn't mean it was perfect, which is 236 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,559 Speaker 11: why I think President Trump, you know, reacted the way 237 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 11: he did for many weeks where you'd get an attack 238 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 11: by the Iranians and then a couple days later back 239 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 11: to negotiation, serious negotiation. I think that's done. I think 240 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 11: President Trump made that very clear, and I think we 241 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 11: can do two things at once. And I have a 242 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 11: feeling the next few days are going to prove this out. 243 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 11: You can't engage in negotiations with the Iranians and the 244 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 11: third party or third state while you are actively engaged 245 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 11: in kinetic operations like you've seen over the last few days. 246 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 11: That does need to continue. 247 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 2: Quite frankly, Brent, I think a lot of people, with 248 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 2: the resumption of military activity, were having some expectation that 249 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 2: we were going to see a spike or at least 250 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 2: some volatility in the oil markets. I guess there was 251 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 2: some presumption that the Strait of Hormuz would effectively close 252 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 2: up again and that oil wouldn't be flowing. I'm not 253 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 2: sure that's the case. I'm just checking the market Watch 254 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 2: data here. Looks like frude oil is down about seventy 255 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 2: six cents today, trading at seventy one dollars a barrel. 256 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 2: I'll remind the audience it was eighty dollars a barrel 257 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 2: when Donald Trump took office last January. What do you 258 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 2: see in the strait? Are we still seeing some ships 259 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 2: being able to transit the strait? Are we still seeing 260 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 2: the flow of oil there? I assume there's been some 261 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 2: slow down, but is it a total clamp off at 262 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 2: the moment. 263 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 3: I don't think it ever. 264 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 11: Really wasn't necessarily like a total clamp down. Certainly, if 265 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 11: you add in pipeline connections just outside of the straight o'hrmuves, 266 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 11: the most narrow part. So, of course that's UAE in 267 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 11: the port of Fujara, which is about upwards to almost 268 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 11: three million barrels per day capacity. Now that they could 269 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 11: pump through there in limits by OPEX part of the 270 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 11: reason why they left. So it's not really that the 271 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 11: shipping hasn't been able to get through. It's that the 272 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 11: insurance markets and the threat episodically was enough to scare 273 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 11: some ship captains and their shipping firms to keep their 274 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 11: ships at anchor. Now ships don't earn any money at 275 00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 11: anchor and they actually start to degrade. You get parnicles, 276 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 11: another things, and issues you have to deal with the 277 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 11: physical maintenance of the ships. So I think where we're 278 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 11: at right now and why you're not seeing the spike 279 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 11: is one, you've got pipelines that are mitigating about half 280 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 11: of the crude oil output that you saw the day 281 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 11: before this conflict is now in pipeline ten seconds. You've 282 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:20,040 Speaker 11: got other sorts coming on, and now you've also got 283 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:23,280 Speaker 11: the US actively going after the Iranians where they can 284 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 11: threat that ship. 285 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 2: Brent Sadler from the Heritage Foundation, Senior Research Fellow for 286 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 2: Naval Warfare, thanks for joining us. We'll be back after 287 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:32,119 Speaker 2: this on the Scott Jenning. 288 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 10: Show, You're ready for some common sense, a little Kentucky 289 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 10: Wendage week. 290 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 4: Here's Scott Jennings and. 291 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 2: We are in Kentucky today, broadcasting live in fact from 292 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 2: the Great Commonwealth, Louisville, Kentucky. 293 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 3: Glad to be home today. 294 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 2: Secretary of State Marco Rubio is hard at work. Next 295 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 2: week he'll host representatives from more than sixty countries in 296 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 2: Washington for a counter terrorism summit focused on the resurgence 297 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:04,159 Speaker 2: of transnational far left terrorism. The meeting will center on 298 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 2: cooperation against violent extremist networks, including Antifa linked groups. This 299 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,720 Speaker 2: is following the administration's broader counter terrorism strategy, which was 300 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 2: unveiled earlier this year. Here to discuss this and other 301 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:22,920 Speaker 2: matters of importance, the State Department's top spokesperson, Tommy Piggott, 302 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:23,359 Speaker 2: joins us. 303 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 3: Tommy, welcome to the show. 304 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 2: Let's start with his conference on fighting transnational far left terrorism. 305 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,920 Speaker 3: Tell us about the effort here, Well, this is. 306 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,360 Speaker 12: Part of a broader effort to really address what's been 307 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,399 Speaker 12: a gap in counter terrorism efforts. This has been a 308 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,200 Speaker 12: threat that has existed for some time, and we're seeing 309 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 12: a resurgence of it. And so we're taking this seriously. 310 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:46,880 Speaker 12: I do want to stress I think what sometimes gets 311 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:48,399 Speaker 12: lost in some of the coverage is that this is 312 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 12: based in activity that these groups are doing. We are 313 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:56,120 Speaker 12: seeing groups engage in terrorist activity, kidnappings, targeting of US 314 00:17:56,200 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 12: law enforcement, violence against civilian populations is theivity that we're addressing. 315 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 12: And we see many of these groups with transnational connections, 316 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 12: which requires that we have that cooperation with allies and 317 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 12: partners on this. So we have had a degree of meetings, 318 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,639 Speaker 12: a degree of cooperation, a set of policies put forward 319 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,680 Speaker 12: attempting to address this, and this is the latest example 320 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 12: of that. One example also is the designations we had 321 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:23,920 Speaker 12: a few months ago on Antiful linked groups, targeting them 322 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 12: for their terrorist activity, labeling them when they are as 323 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 12: terrorist groups they are, and making sure we have that 324 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 12: counter terrorism strategy to protect the American people. 325 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,160 Speaker 2: Tommy, the existence of this conference and bringing together all 326 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,680 Speaker 2: these countries seems to answer a question or an observation 327 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 2: that many of us have had, and that is when 328 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,160 Speaker 2: we've seen some far left political violence in this country, 329 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:50,120 Speaker 2: it has felt like there has been ties to other countries. 330 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 2: It has felt like this isn't just sort of isolated 331 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 2: in a community that there must be some sort of 332 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 2: international component to this. The fact that you're pulling all 333 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,919 Speaker 2: these countries together seems to confirm them. At when you 334 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 2: invited the other countries, was there a resistance or did 335 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 2: they readily admit, yeah, we think this is a problem too. 336 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 2: How much convincing did you have to do to get 337 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,359 Speaker 2: these people in the building next week? 338 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 12: Well, this is certainly a problem that other countries identified 339 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 12: because they face as well, and so we have seen 340 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,359 Speaker 12: a degree of cooperation, and it really was just about 341 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:25,159 Speaker 12: making sure that we're continuing the cooperation we've had on 342 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 12: the law enforcement and working level, continuing that through this 343 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,920 Speaker 12: ministerial and then onward from this ministerial as we continue 344 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 12: to address these terrorist groups. So really we're seeing other 345 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 12: countries from across the world, and we're going to see 346 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,600 Speaker 12: countries there from the Western Hemisphere, from Europe, from Asia 347 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 12: that are all coming together because they also face this threat, 348 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,680 Speaker 12: and we do see these groups operating in a transnational 349 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,959 Speaker 12: way that does require these countries to come together, all 350 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 12: of us to come together first to understand the full 351 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,159 Speaker 12: nature of the threat, because we see examples across the 352 00:19:55,200 --> 00:20:00,040 Speaker 12: world of an antifa linked groups doing terrorist activity. We 353 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 12: need to communicate, we need to make sure that we're 354 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 12: working with law enforcement partners other countries to fully understand 355 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,679 Speaker 12: this ecosystem and then address it because we're seeing this resurgence. 356 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 12: So that's part of what this is. Making sure that 357 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,160 Speaker 12: we fully understand and know the scope of the threat, 358 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,119 Speaker 12: but that we're seeing with our own eyes, and then 359 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 12: also taking that coordinated action with our allies and partners 360 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,199 Speaker 12: to address these groups, to make sure that we're not 361 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,160 Speaker 12: doing things by ourselves or in ways that aren't coordinated, 362 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,399 Speaker 12: but having that full effective strategy to protect the American people, 363 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 12: and also that our allies and partners can also be 364 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 12: safe as well. 365 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 2: Tommy, has the US government, is it, to your knowledge, 366 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:38,160 Speaker 2: ever engaged in this level of international coordination and cooperation 367 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,640 Speaker 2: to try to bite back against this sort of international violence. 368 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:46,480 Speaker 12: Well, this is truly a historic ministerial. We saw some 369 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 12: going to the fact that this is not a new threat. 370 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 12: From back into the seventies, for example, we saw examples 371 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,119 Speaker 12: of farup terrorism and really since then, but we really 372 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 12: haven't seen in the decades since this coherent strategy to 373 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,199 Speaker 12: address what is this pressing threat. And of course we 374 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:04,159 Speaker 12: have counter terrorism efforts on a whole variety of different 375 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:07,159 Speaker 12: elements to address terrorist threats where we see them. But 376 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 12: there really has been a gap in previous decades and 377 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:13,199 Speaker 12: addressing far left political terrorism. So we are going to 378 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 12: make sure that we're addressing this threat as well. We're 379 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:16,880 Speaker 12: not going to turn a blind eye to it. Quite 380 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 12: the opposite. So it truly is a historic ministerial. We're 381 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 12: seeing many, many countries from around the entire world coming 382 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,680 Speaker 12: together to work on this, and it is the continuation 383 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:26,680 Speaker 12: of that effort, like I mentioned of other meetings we've 384 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 12: had on this too. 385 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 2: So Tommy, when you have all these countries in the 386 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 2: room and you get this kind of cooperation, I assume 387 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,639 Speaker 2: that what could come out of it is unlocking certain 388 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 2: kinds of investigatory tools, you know, ways to cooperate on 389 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,879 Speaker 2: sharing intelligence. Is that sort of what you're hoping for here? 390 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:48,119 Speaker 2: A lot more information sharing that would help law enforcement 391 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:49,640 Speaker 2: in all the countries that are included. 392 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 12: That is certainly a part of this. And I think 393 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 12: also understanding how we approach these groups in a coherent 394 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,679 Speaker 12: way means how do we even define these groups? I mean, 395 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 12: we have different countries approaching terrorism threats in different ways. 396 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,160 Speaker 12: Is it a law enforcement issue, is it a national 397 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 12: security issue? It truly is a national security issue and 398 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,879 Speaker 12: a law enforcement issue, But what organization within the country 399 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 12: is even taking a lead on this that even making 400 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 12: sure we're coordinated on that element is very important for 401 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 12: the information sharing you just mentioned, but also making sure 402 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 12: we can act quickly prevent threats, for prevent to violent 403 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,640 Speaker 12: actions before they happen. So that coordination, that law enforcement 404 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,159 Speaker 12: element is a key part of this, and that actually 405 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 12: does stem from the law enforcement working groups we've had 406 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:28,920 Speaker 12: with our allies and partners on this. So that'll be 407 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,200 Speaker 12: a continued effort to make sure we're having that coordination 408 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,920 Speaker 12: on the law enforcement front, on the national security front 409 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:34,919 Speaker 12: to address these groups. 410 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,480 Speaker 2: Ad voiser hearing on the Scott Jennings Show Tommy Piggott. 411 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,440 Speaker 2: He's a top spokesperson at the US State Department, discussing 412 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:45,480 Speaker 2: this upcoming counter terrorism summit that will take place next 413 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,640 Speaker 2: week in Washington, Secretary of State Rubio bringing together more 414 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:52,680 Speaker 2: than sixty countries to talk about how to fight transnational 415 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:56,240 Speaker 2: left wing violence. Tommy, some of the violence that we 416 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 2: have seen on the streets of America, I assume is 417 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 2: going to be part of the discussion next week. Let's 418 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,879 Speaker 2: focus in for a moment on funding. I think we 419 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 2: often look at the people who are involved, But when 420 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,200 Speaker 2: you see this violence that's happened here and in other countries, 421 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,720 Speaker 2: somebody is funding it. You know money is coming in 422 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 2: from somewhere to fuel these terrorists. Is it Your belief 423 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,159 Speaker 2: is that the government's belief that money is coming in 424 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 2: from overseas and finding its way into the hands of 425 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:25,920 Speaker 2: terrorists on the streets of America. 426 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 12: Well, we've certainly seen threats against US law enforcement, US interests, 427 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 12: and target attempts to target the American people and the 428 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 12: US government as well as our allies and partners on this. 429 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 12: That is why the designation's tool is so important when 430 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 12: it comes to designating these groups as what they are, 431 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,879 Speaker 12: as terrorist groups, because it does open up more tools 432 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 12: when it comes to addressing their financing. For example, it 433 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:50,159 Speaker 12: lets us go after institutions, groups, people, whatever it is 434 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 12: that are offering material support to these groups. So it 435 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 12: opens up a whole range of tools. So we designate 436 00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:58,360 Speaker 12: these groups, we can identify their financing. That's also why 437 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 12: the information sharing is so important that can actually track 438 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,359 Speaker 12: this money effectively. Naturally, groups that are engaged in the 439 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 12: Fairies activity want to hide their financing, and so we 440 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,400 Speaker 12: need that coordination to make sure that we understand where 441 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,000 Speaker 12: this financing is coming from. We've seen the threats against 442 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 12: the United States and our allies and partners, and we're 443 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 12: having designations that then allow us to take action to 444 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 12: address material support for these groups. 445 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 3: Tommy final question on this topic. 446 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 2: Secretary of Rubio is organizing this conference, and I was 447 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:30,400 Speaker 2: wondering today why isn't this activity being handled or being 448 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,439 Speaker 2: looked upon by the United Nations. I mean, you have 449 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 2: all these countries coming together to fight you know what 450 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 2: is a real problem, this transnational you know, left wing violence. 451 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,879 Speaker 2: Why wouldn't the United Nations be involved in this? I 452 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:44,440 Speaker 2: think I know the answer, but I want to hear 453 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 2: what you have to say about it. And of course 454 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,359 Speaker 2: that underscores the necessity of US leadership on the world 455 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:50,920 Speaker 2: stage here. 456 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:53,960 Speaker 12: Well, I think that's just it. I mean, we have 457 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,200 Speaker 12: a United Nations where we've been no secret that the 458 00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 12: United Nations has not lived up to what its stated 459 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:02,959 Speaker 12: purpose should be, which is to encourage cooperations between nations 460 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,440 Speaker 12: to make us all safeer a peace keeping body. Instead, 461 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 12: it has pursued a whole wide ranging of woke, ideological 462 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 12: initiatives that have undermined in many ways the national security 463 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 12: of the United States. And it's not just limited to 464 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 12: the United Nations. We've seen that in other international institutions 465 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,679 Speaker 12: as well. We took action earlier in this administration to 466 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 12: withdraw from over sixty international organizations that weren't benefiting the 467 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 12: American people and often just the opposite, undermining our national security. 468 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 12: So US leadership is key on this. We're going to 469 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 12: continue stepping up. We've identified this problem. We're bringing countries 470 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,200 Speaker 12: together as another example of President Trump and action solving 471 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:38,879 Speaker 12: a problem that others wish to ignore. 472 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 2: Well, I lot, Tommy, I actually have one more question 473 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,120 Speaker 2: coming out of this summit. Are you needing the US 474 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,679 Speaker 2: Congress to do something here? Do we need more legislation, 475 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,720 Speaker 2: do you need new funding? Is there any legislative component 476 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:51,880 Speaker 2: or is everything you need and want to do here 477 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 2: on this issue? Can it be handled within the executive branch? 478 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:57,679 Speaker 12: Well, we have a wide range of tools that we 479 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:01,200 Speaker 12: can use with the executive branch under existing authorities, such 480 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,840 Speaker 12: as designations and otherwise. Of course, we continue to look 481 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,359 Speaker 12: at this threat and the President's made no secret he 482 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,320 Speaker 12: wants to address it. So as we continue to look 483 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,200 Speaker 12: at this and address the threat as possible, that more 484 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,240 Speaker 12: tools may be needed, but we have a wide range 485 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 12: of tools available to us in our existing authorities in 486 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 12: order to take concrete action to protecting American people. 487 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,800 Speaker 2: Tommy Piggott, a spokesperson for the US State Department, Tommy, 488 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 2: I want to shift gears for a moment and talk 489 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 2: about the situation with i Ran. We've seen the President's 490 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:28,920 Speaker 2: statement today that the ceasefire is over, but he also 491 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:32,400 Speaker 2: says that the Iranians have reached out for more talks. 492 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,359 Speaker 2: There are reports in the news that mediators in the 493 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:39,199 Speaker 2: Middle East are trying to pull parties back together. What 494 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,119 Speaker 2: can you tell us from the State Department's perspective about 495 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:46,439 Speaker 2: the status of any talks or negotiations that may be 496 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 2: going on now or could be going on in the 497 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,679 Speaker 2: next day or two between the United States and the 498 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 2: Iranian regime. 499 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,199 Speaker 12: Well, I think President Trump speaking very clearly to this 500 00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:58,720 Speaker 12: and once again making clear, as he has from the 501 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:02,280 Speaker 12: beginning of this administration even before, that the arraigning regime 502 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 12: cannot have a nuclear weapon, and he has been clear 503 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,199 Speaker 12: for months, if not years that of course he had 504 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,600 Speaker 12: preferred deal. That's why we saw the diplomatic door open 505 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,960 Speaker 12: so many times. But as he's also shown through the 506 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:15,880 Speaker 12: actions that have already made us safer, he is going 507 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 12: to see this objectives fulfilled one way or another. That 508 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 12: the Aranian regime does not have a nuclear weapon. So 509 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,320 Speaker 12: I won't get ahead of where these discussions might go 510 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,960 Speaker 12: or whatever have you, but I will want to stress 511 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,879 Speaker 12: and restress how clear President Trump has been on the 512 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,960 Speaker 12: subjective and the actions he's already taken already making the 513 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:32,160 Speaker 12: United States a safer place. 514 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,960 Speaker 2: Tommy Pigott, spokesperson for the State Department, I want you 515 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,760 Speaker 2: to hang on, Tommy, because we covered this at the 516 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 2: top of the show, and I really want to discuss 517 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,879 Speaker 2: this issue further. This issue going on in Minnesota where 518 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:49,719 Speaker 2: you had an illegal alien from Laos who sexually assaulted 519 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:54,480 Speaker 2: a little girl for a several year period and got 520 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:59,400 Speaker 2: a pardon, a pardon from the governor of Minnesota, Tim Walls, 521 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:01,919 Speaker 2: And the news came out this morning from your boss, 522 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,960 Speaker 2: Marco Rubio that he had stepped into this situation and 523 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:11,160 Speaker 2: deported this illegal alien. Now Tim Walls, I presume went 524 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,960 Speaker 2: through with this pardon up there in order to try 525 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 2: to protect this illegal alien from being sent out of 526 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 2: the country. I mean, there was an obvious attempt here 527 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:22,960 Speaker 2: to try to keep a violent, sexual, illegal alien predator 528 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:25,679 Speaker 2: on the streets of the United States of America. 529 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 3: Tommy, I want to talk to you about that. 530 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:30,320 Speaker 2: On the other side of this break, I also want 531 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,480 Speaker 2: to talk to you all for just a moment before 532 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,760 Speaker 2: we do that conversation about the program of Medicare. 533 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:37,919 Speaker 3: If you're on Medicare, or if. 534 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 2: You are helping a loved one of family member, your 535 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,720 Speaker 2: parents perhaps navigate medicare, I want to talk to you 536 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,280 Speaker 2: about it because I've been doing the same thing as you. 537 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 2: I've been helping my parents with it. And here's what 538 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 2: we all know. It's confusing. You get robocalls, you get 539 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,640 Speaker 2: all these mailers, you get all this information, and it's 540 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,400 Speaker 2: a lot of half truths and a lot of confusion. 541 00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 2: And what I learned is that you need an advisor 542 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 2: to help you cut through the clutter and get some 543 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 2: sort of real answer that best fits your situation. All 544 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 2: you really want to know is am I on the 545 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:12,800 Speaker 2: best plan for me? And if I am not, how 546 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,400 Speaker 2: do I get on that plan that will get me 547 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:17,680 Speaker 2: the medical care that I need and save me the 548 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:19,520 Speaker 2: money that I should be saving. Let me tell you 549 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 2: what my parents did. We got on the phone with 550 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,880 Speaker 2: a company called Chapter. This is the advisory company. It's 551 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 2: called Chapter. For my dad, they helped him find a 552 00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,880 Speaker 2: new physician from my mom. They went through her information, 553 00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 2: which just took a few minutes, by the way, and 554 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 2: they helped her figure out how she could save six 555 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 2: hundred dollars a year. They're doing this for people all 556 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,520 Speaker 2: over the country. The company is called Chapter. They work 557 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:43,080 Speaker 2: for you. They do not work for the insurance companies, 558 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:46,160 Speaker 2: and you can get them on your telephone right now. 559 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:46,760 Speaker 3: You pick it up. 560 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 2: You call pound two five zero, pound two fifty. Do 561 00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:53,600 Speaker 2: you say Medicare plan. It's a free call. There's no pressure. 562 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:57,280 Speaker 2: You talk to a real person who actually knows their stuff. Again, 563 00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 2: I did this with my own parents. It took just 564 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:01,600 Speaker 2: a few minutes and we got real results, a new 565 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:03,840 Speaker 2: doctor for my dad and some savings for my mom. 566 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,640 Speaker 2: I suspect Chapter can do the same thing for you. 567 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,120 Speaker 2: Call up Chapter, dial pound two fifty and just say 568 00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:11,560 Speaker 2: Medicare plan. It's the best call you could make to 569 00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 2: figure out the confusion of medicare more with Tommy Piggott 570 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 2: from the US State Department. When we come back, it's 571 00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 2: Scott Jennings on Salem. 572 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:21,120 Speaker 4: Stay with us for the narratives, now get the truth. 573 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 4: It's the Scott Jennings. 574 00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,560 Speaker 3: Show, Friday, July the tenth. 575 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:27,640 Speaker 2: Thanks for joining us here on common sense for the 576 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 2: American people. We brought you the story this morning that 577 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:35,520 Speaker 2: Secretary Rubio had stepped in to deport an illegal alien 578 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:39,080 Speaker 2: in Minnesota who had sexually assaulted a ten year old 579 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:42,560 Speaker 2: girl and gotten a pardon from Tim Walls. We continue 580 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 2: our conversation now with the top spokesperson at the US 581 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:49,080 Speaker 2: Department of State, Tommy Piggot. Tommy, when we all heard 582 00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 2: this crazy story that Tim Walls had pardoned this illegal 583 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 2: alien who had done this atrocious sexual crime, I mean, 584 00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,440 Speaker 2: we couldn't believe it. It was obviously his attempt to keep 585 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:03,719 Speaker 2: an illegal alien in the country. But then we were 586 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,320 Speaker 2: heartened today when we saw Secretary of Rubio step in 587 00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:08,360 Speaker 2: and use his authority to get this person out of 588 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,080 Speaker 2: our country. Talk to us about the case, the details, 589 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:14,960 Speaker 2: and how this decision unfolded inside the State Department. 590 00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:18,959 Speaker 12: Here, so you have an example here of a foreign 591 00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:23,360 Speaker 12: child rapist committing heinous crimes in the United States of America, 592 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:27,280 Speaker 12: who had a deportation order from many, many years ago, 593 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:30,280 Speaker 12: and when now we had an opportunity to deport him. 594 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:35,800 Speaker 12: You saw Tim Waltz pardoning him, shielding him from deportation. 595 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:40,120 Speaker 12: It really is unexplainable. It's inexplicable why he would do 596 00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:44,360 Speaker 12: something like this, but shielding him from deportation. Secretary Rubio 597 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,160 Speaker 12: then stepping in to revoke that legal status, and then 598 00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,720 Speaker 12: our colleagues at DHS and ICE removing him quickly from 599 00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,280 Speaker 12: the country to make sure he can never endanger another 600 00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:57,360 Speaker 12: American ever again. It really is inexplicable even came to 601 00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,719 Speaker 12: this point. But the Trump administration making clear we're going 602 00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:01,720 Speaker 12: to say with the American people each and every time. 603 00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 3: The details of this case are shocking. 604 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 2: You have an illegal alien from Laos who, as you 605 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:12,280 Speaker 2: point out, had a deportation order, who gets convicted back 606 00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:15,840 Speaker 2: in two thousand and six. I think of sexual assault 607 00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:17,920 Speaker 2: of a ten year old girl which took place over 608 00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:22,440 Speaker 2: a series of years. This person even offered the victim 609 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:25,200 Speaker 2: money to stay quiet about the whole thing. This is 610 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:28,520 Speaker 2: a bad person. Illegal alien issues aside, This is a 611 00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:33,040 Speaker 2: bad person you don't want anywhere near your community. And 612 00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:36,880 Speaker 2: yet Tim Walls, who is so broken brained about President 613 00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:40,880 Speaker 2: Trump and the issue of immigration, gave this person a pardon. 614 00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:44,120 Speaker 2: And so we're thankful that Secretary of Rubio stepped in 615 00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,440 Speaker 2: here and solve this case. And now this person's out 616 00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:48,960 Speaker 2: of our country. But I couldn't help but wonder, Tommy, 617 00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:53,120 Speaker 2: how many other governors and local democrats around the country 618 00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:58,360 Speaker 2: are taking similar sorts of actions to shield illegal aliens, 619 00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:02,520 Speaker 2: violent illegal aliens from d I assume it's more than 620 00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:05,280 Speaker 2: we would want to count at the State Department. 621 00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:06,880 Speaker 3: How do you all track this? 622 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,239 Speaker 2: I mean, you all came up and did the right 623 00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:11,479 Speaker 2: thing on this case, and it was in the news. 624 00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:13,960 Speaker 2: But I assume this is happening in blue states and 625 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:15,360 Speaker 2: blue cities across the country. 626 00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:19,240 Speaker 12: We are seeing too many one is too many, but 627 00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:24,480 Speaker 12: too many officials actively trying to undermine enforcement of immigration law. 628 00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,600 Speaker 12: After the worst border crisis in US history. I mean, 629 00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:29,720 Speaker 12: from the State Department's perspective, one of the things that 630 00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,240 Speaker 12: we have instituted under President Trump at least expanded under 631 00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:35,640 Speaker 12: President Trump, is continuous vetting of people that are here 632 00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:37,880 Speaker 12: on visas. Of course, we think when we think border security, 633 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,880 Speaker 12: would think of the Southwest border, but visa security is 634 00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:43,440 Speaker 12: also border security. So if someone comes to this country 635 00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:47,320 Speaker 12: legally and then breaks our laws, violates the terms of 636 00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:49,960 Speaker 12: their visa, that's ground for revocation. And we've had over 637 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:54,160 Speaker 12: one hundred thousand visa revocations mainly due to criminal activities 638 00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:58,000 Speaker 12: such as DUIs, such as arrests, such as thefts, such 639 00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:01,040 Speaker 12: as assaults.

There's been a lot of drama in the 688 00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:16,840 Speaker 2: courtroom this week. Yesterday we heard some dramatic videotape testimony 689 00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:21,480 Speaker 2: from Lance Twiggs.

We also saw the defense for Tyler Robinson 692 00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:33,680 Speaker 2: this week do some peculiar things in the courtroom, including 693 00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:37,400 Speaker 2: at one point going after and maligning the character of 694 00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:38,080 Speaker 2: the widow. 695 00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:40,160 Speaker 3: Here Erica Kirk.

She has access to all the evidence 704 00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:14,200 Speaker 13: that the state has publicized and that the media and 705 00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:17,480 Speaker 13: her own lawyer argues is already in the public demand. 706 00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:22,720 Speaker 13: So they're perfectly free to go outside this courtroom. 707 00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:24,160 Speaker 4: Under the court's protective order. 708 00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:26,360 Speaker 13: They're free to go out and hold press conferences and 709 00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:30,359 Speaker 13: announce to the world outside the courtroom what they think 710 00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:31,239 Speaker 13: the evidence is. 711 00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,960 Speaker 2: Joining me now to discuss this case and what life 712 00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:39,200 Speaker 2: is like in Utah County, Utah in the ten months 713 00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:43,840 Speaker 2: since Charlie Kirk was murdered.

We've had 725 00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:21,560 Speaker 14: significant increases in everything from security on site. 726 00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:24,280 Speaker 15: To open records requests. 727 00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:27,440 Speaker 14: Every time a blogger decides to come up with a theory, 728 00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:31,239 Speaker 14: we get bombarded with open records requests that have just 729 00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:34,320 Speaker 14: absolutely taken our staff by storm. 730 00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:36,600 Speaker 15: And then on top of that is as a community. 731 00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:38,080 Speaker 4: I mean, this. 732 00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:43,080 Speaker 14: Crime affected a lot of people in our community, my 733 00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:47,640 Speaker 14: family being one of those. Our nanny was on lockdown 734 00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:51,680 Speaker 14: at UVU at the time, wanted to drop out of 735 00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:53,960 Speaker 14: school and we helped get her into therapy so she 736 00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:54,879 Speaker 14: didn't because of the fear. 737 00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:58,239 Speaker 15: I had a nephew on campus at the time. And 738 00:38:59,000 --> 00:38:59,720 Speaker 15: really our. 739 00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:05,600 Speaker 14: Community has had this sense of safety has been really 740 00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:09,160 Speaker 14: torn from the community as well as just the chasm 741 00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:12,480 Speaker 14: that is formed because of all of the conspiracy theories 742 00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:12,920 Speaker 14: going on. 743 00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:16,440 Speaker 2: I want to talk about that aspect of the case. 744 00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:19,600 Speaker 2: The conspiracy theories. Of course, people like Candace Owens and 745 00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:24,480 Speaker 2: others have run amok online really since this happened. They 746 00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:30,200 Speaker 2: have questioned and said everything that's been coming out of 747 00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:32,920 Speaker 2: this hearing and all the information that we know about, 748 00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:35,120 Speaker 2: they've said that's false, that this is all made up, 749 00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:38,839 Speaker 2: that there's this huge conspiracy to hide the truth. I've 750 00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:41,360 Speaker 2: been watching this pretty carefully this week. The evidence seems 751 00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:44,880 Speaker 2: pretty straightforward. It's pretty straightforward Burder trial. Most of the 752 00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:47,960 Speaker 2: lawyers watching it say it's overwhelming amount of evidence. But 753 00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:52,840 Speaker 2: let's focus in on how the conspiracy theorists have really 754 00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:56,480 Speaker 2: hurt this county, hurt the people of this county, hurt 755 00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:59,719 Speaker 2: the Kirk family. I mean you yourself, as a county commissioner, 756 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:03,840 Speaker 2: whom you mentioned this. You're being inundated from these crazy 757 00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:07,200 Speaker 2: people who want all sorts of information and are swarming 758 00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:10,560 Speaker 2: all over the government buildings there. Tell us what dealing 759 00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:11,360 Speaker 2: with that has been like. 760 00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:16,520 Speaker 14: Yeah, just an example, on Wednesday, we had a person 761 00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:20,640 Speaker 14: that was trespassed from the courthouse who walked right over 762 00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,400 Speaker 14: to our Public Commission meeting where we were having a 763 00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:27,360 Speaker 14: hearing for a power line and during public comment, they're 764 00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:31,360 Speaker 14: coming in and making public comment about their conspiracy theories 765 00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:33,719 Speaker 14: and about the court while we're trying to do the 766 00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:34,960 Speaker 14: business of the county. 767 00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:36,600 Speaker 15: On top of that, like I. 768 00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:39,640 Speaker 14: Said, our public records requests are just astronomical. 769 00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:42,840 Speaker 15: So many of those requests are coming in from. 770 00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:46,759 Speaker 14: Fictitious individuals who are trying to be citizen reporters. They 771 00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:49,000 Speaker 14: create a name and a Gmail account so that they 772 00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:52,600 Speaker 14: can try to be a source for some blogger online. 773 00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:58,040 Speaker 14: And then on top of that, just our safety as individuals. 774 00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:00,680 Speaker 14: There are three county commissioners in our county, and two 775 00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:03,600 Speaker 14: of us elected not to run for reelection because our 776 00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:09,719 Speaker 14: families have been just inundated with threats and conspiracies that 777 00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:13,799 Speaker 14: it's pushing hardworking people out of public service because of 778 00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:16,399 Speaker 14: the pressures put on us. And none of that even 779 00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:20,239 Speaker 14: takes into account the astronomical cost that this has all 780 00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:22,320 Speaker 14: been to the taxpayers of my county. 781 00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:26,680 Speaker 2: As I've been watching this unfold this week, and I 782 00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:30,759 Speaker 2: see the emotional toll that this is taking on Erica 783 00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:34,040 Speaker 2: Kirk and the rest of the Kirk family and the 784 00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:36,360 Speaker 2: people who are involved in trying to get to the 785 00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:40,799 Speaker 2: truth and trying to get justice here. I can't help 786 00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:44,880 Speaker 2: but think of just how despicable it is that these 787 00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:49,120 Speaker 2: conspiracy theorists who are doing this all for their own 788 00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:52,000 Speaker 2: personal enrichment and self aggrandizement. I can't help but think 789 00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:54,759 Speaker 2: about how despicable it all is. I know you have 790 00:41:54,840 --> 00:42:00,560 Speaker 2: some professional responsibilities here and you can't exactly get in 791 00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:03,239 Speaker 2: to commenting on the evidence in the case and the 792 00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:07,440 Speaker 2: machinations of the case, but maybe just give us a 793 00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:10,960 Speaker 2: high level overview here of your own personal observations. We 794 00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:13,840 Speaker 2: have a family here, there's a widow, there are children 795 00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:18,719 Speaker 2: left behind. What have you observed in just emotionally the 796 00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:23,200 Speaker 2: toll all this conspiracy garbage has taken on the Kirks here. 797 00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:28,400 Speaker 14: Yeah, So for the family, I mean, it's bad enough 798 00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:34,279 Speaker 14: that their husband and father was taken from them, but 799 00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:39,280 Speaker 14: because it was being filmed by hundreds, if not thousands 800 00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:40,719 Speaker 14: of people, I think we asked meate, they're about three 801 00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:44,880 Speaker 14: thousand people in that crowd. I'm not happy that I 802 00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:47,920 Speaker 14: saw the footage right as an individual, I had to 803 00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:50,520 Speaker 14: see that footage, and then not only that, I had 804 00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:53,840 Speaker 14: a nephew there who then has seen the footage and 805 00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:57,040 Speaker 14: been retraumatized, And then my children get shown it at 806 00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:01,719 Speaker 14: school and they've seen the footage and the impact on 807 00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:05,360 Speaker 14: our community. The calls to our crisis mental health center 808 00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:09,759 Speaker 14: went up. We can statistically show you the increase in 809 00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:15,120 Speaker 14: calls to the mental health center to anxiety, to performance 810 00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:16,440 Speaker 14: of children in school. 811 00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:18,439 Speaker 15: I mean, this isn't just a murder. 812 00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:22,279 Speaker 14: This thousands of people witnessed this violent murder and then 813 00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:24,960 Speaker 14: his family that footage is not going anywhere. 814 00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:28,680 Speaker 15: They will have that forever. And so this is unique. 815 00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:33,040 Speaker 14: We have other we have other murder cases going on 816 00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:35,040 Speaker 14: right now in our county. We have other death penalty 817 00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:38,600 Speaker 14: cases going on in our county, but nothing like this 818 00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:43,440 Speaker 14: that was so public and that is being exploited for 819 00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:49,719 Speaker 14: personal gain by people all over. It's really just almost disgusting. 820 00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:54,960 Speaker 2: Well, I would say it's not almost disgusting. It is disgusting. 821 00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:58,160 Speaker 2: And what you're having to put up with and what 822 00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:00,279 Speaker 2: the Kirk family is having to put up with out 823 00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:04,040 Speaker 2: there with all of these people who are leeching onto 824 00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,760 Speaker 2: this situation is terrible. I've got about thirty seconds left. 825 00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:09,080 Speaker 2: Let's just talk a little process here. This is day 826 00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:12,080 Speaker 2: five of this pre trial hearing. This is to determine 827 00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:17,200 Speaker 2: whether the alleged killer Tyler Robinson will stand trial for murder. 828 00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:20,160 Speaker 2: It appears to me the evidence is overwhelming. I think 829 00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:22,080 Speaker 2: the judge today said he might take some time here, 830 00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:25,719 Speaker 2: maybe even until September, to make that decision. Do you 831 00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:28,120 Speaker 2: anticipate that being the case or could it happen sooner 832 00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:28,400 Speaker 2: than that. 833 00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:33,200 Speaker 15: I think it absolutely could happen sooner than that. 834 00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:37,280 Speaker 14: I think they if they delay till September, it's probably 835 00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:40,440 Speaker 14: just to give everybody involved a little bit of a reprieve. 836 00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:43,399 Speaker 14: I mean, right now, we have a high school cheer 837 00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:46,080 Speaker 14: competition going on at at our convention center across the 838 00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:47,920 Speaker 14: street from the courthouse, and our SWAT team is on 839 00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:51,759 Speaker 14: the roof for security. So I think the more we 840 00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:55,080 Speaker 14: allow things to calm down, right, so we're trying to 841 00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:58,160 Speaker 14: juggle not searing the teenage girls at the cheer competition 842 00:44:58,239 --> 00:44:59,520 Speaker 14: and protecting the court house. 843 00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:03,839 Speaker 15: The rips are real for my community. And so if 844 00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:05,840 Speaker 15: they delay, I could see that because. 845 00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:09,520 Speaker 14: It gives time for all of the conspiracy theorists to 846 00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:12,360 Speaker 14: calm down. But I think we could get an answer 847 00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:14,680 Speaker 14: a lot sooner than that. 848 00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:19,680 Speaker 2: That is Utah County Commissioner Amelia Powers Gardener. She represents 849 00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:22,440 Speaker 2: the community that is dealing with the aftermath of the 850 00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:25,360 Speaker 2: Charlie Kirk murder.

All right, it's Friday afternoon. Oh, by 872 00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:28,480 Speaker 2: the way, Friday punditree is coming up in about ten 873 00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:32,879 Speaker 2: minutes and Jillian Michaels, our old buddy Jillian, is here. 874 00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:34,960 Speaker 2: But before we do that, you know, it is time 875 00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:37,279 Speaker 2: for the relief Factor Pain of the Week. 876 00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:43,320 Speaker 4: No, the relief Factor Pain of the Week. 877 00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:49,800 Speaker 2: All right, I'm going to go back to this story 878 00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:54,319 Speaker 2: that we've been discussing today because I just can't get 879 00:46:54,360 --> 00:47:01,320 Speaker 2: over it. This story in Minnesota where Tim Walls pardons 880 00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:07,840 Speaker 2: this illegal alien, this sex criminal, violent sex criminal, to 881 00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:13,600 Speaker 2: try to keep this guy in the country. But it 882 00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:20,439 Speaker 2: is emblematic of not just what a evil buffoon Tim 883 00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:24,440 Speaker 2: Walls is, it's emblematic of the kind of leadership that 884 00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:28,600 Speaker 2: you're getting out of blue state governors and blue city 885 00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:33,880 Speaker 2: mayors across the country Democratic Party today through the actions 886 00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:37,520 Speaker 2: of Tim Walls, and let's face it, many many others 887 00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:41,480 Speaker 2: who are now calling to abolish borders and abolish ice. 888 00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:45,640 Speaker 2: What they're all doing is speaking in one voice, and 889 00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:51,280 Speaker 2: they're saying that we are swearing allegiance to illegal aliens 890 00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:56,480 Speaker 2: instead of American citizens. This situation in Minnesota, I just 891 00:47:56,560 --> 00:48:01,640 Speaker 2: have to go over the details to Louvang Sinister. Between 892 00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:03,960 Speaker 2: two thousand and two and two thousand and four. This 893 00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:09,359 Speaker 2: guy repeatedly raped a young girl ten years old. He 894 00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:12,520 Speaker 2: was convicted of this in two thousand and six first 895 00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:18,920 Speaker 2: degree criminal sexual conduct. Now listen to his excuse quote 896 00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:22,400 Speaker 2: it's a cultural thing to marry and have sex with 897 00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:26,239 Speaker 2: girls as young as twelve. That is a direct quote 898 00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:29,400 Speaker 2: of what he told the authorities when he was arrested. 899 00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:33,920 Speaker 2: He also tried to pay the victim to stay quiet. 900 00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:38,880 Speaker 2: He described his actions as a minor thing. Now fast 901 00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:44,600 Speaker 2: forward to today. This illegal alien had a deportation order 902 00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:52,279 Speaker 2: in addition to being a convicted sex criminal, and he 903 00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:57,719 Speaker 2: winds up getting a pardon from the Governor of Minnesota. 904 00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:00,759 Speaker 2: Tim Walls. By the way, this didn't come out of 905 00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:04,080 Speaker 2: some like middle management bureaucrat. This came out of the 906 00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:08,040 Speaker 2: highest levels of the Minnesota state government. There's a pardon board. 907 00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:12,440 Speaker 2: Let's see who's on it, Tim Walls, Oh, Keith Ellison, 908 00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:16,520 Speaker 2: the attorney general there, Democrat, also the chief Justice of 909 00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:19,920 Speaker 2: the Minnesota Supreme Court. So you have this board and 910 00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:26,640 Speaker 2: the governor pardoning a child rapist, all to prevent him 911 00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:28,040 Speaker 2: from being deported. 912 00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:29,719 Speaker 3: Listen to this. 913 00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:35,080 Speaker 2: The Clemency Review Commission there, they recommended the pardon in 914 00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:38,560 Speaker 2: the first place they sent him a letter. Being granted 915 00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:43,160 Speaker 2: a pardon is a notable achievement and a reflection of 916 00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:46,520 Speaker 2: the work you have done since your conviction. So not 917 00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:49,640 Speaker 2: only do you have these blue state Democrats pardoning child 918 00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:54,239 Speaker 2: rapists so they won't be deported, they are also celebrating 919 00:49:54,280 --> 00:50:00,080 Speaker 2: the quote great work he has done since raping this 920 00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:07,560 Speaker 2: poor child, demonstrably evil, the worst of the worst. Now, 921 00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:11,200 Speaker 2: thank goodness for President Trump and the Secretary of State 922 00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:15,160 Speaker 2: Marco Rubio here they were paying attention to this situation. Rubio, 923 00:50:15,239 --> 00:50:18,480 Speaker 2: as you know from the reporting today, has in fact 924 00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:21,399 Speaker 2: ordered this guy out of the country. That's a good thing, 925 00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:29,600 Speaker 2: but it really underscores and gives you a bright line 926 00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:32,640 Speaker 2: to help you discern the difference between the two political 927 00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:36,880 Speaker 2: parties in this country. Democrats who will use their power, 928 00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:40,520 Speaker 2: the power of the pardon in this case, to keep 929 00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:44,680 Speaker 2: an illegal alien child rapist on the streets in Minnesota, 930 00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:48,439 Speaker 2: or Republicans who will use their political power to get 931 00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:52,960 Speaker 2: some heinous criminal like this out of our country. Not 932 00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:56,560 Speaker 2: a lot of nuance here, folks. You either four the 933 00:50:56,600 --> 00:51:00,520 Speaker 2: sex criminal illegal aliens or your four deporting. We know 934 00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:02,719 Speaker 2: where the Democrats stand, and now we know thanks to 935 00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:06,239 Speaker 2: Rubio where the Republicans stand and that's why these Democrats 936 00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:08,200 Speaker 2: like Tim Walls are the relief factor. 937 00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:10,960 Speaker 3: Pain of the Week. Punitrary is next. Stay with us 938 00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:11,959 Speaker 3: on the Scott Jetting Show. 939 00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:15,160 Speaker 4: Lot's their relief factor Pain of the Week. 940 00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:19,160 Speaker 10: Quelling and leftist arguments with truth and common sense. 941 00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:22,479 Speaker 4: They hate that. This is a Scott Jetting show. 942 00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:27,759 Speaker 2: Fright Ay, July the tenth, almost done with the week 943 00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:29,239 Speaker 2: here at the Scott Jennings Show. 944 00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:32,000 Speaker 3: What a week. It's been, a lot of stuff going 945 00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:32,720 Speaker 3: on this week. 946 00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:36,279 Speaker 2: Didn't get a chance actually in the news round up 947 00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:39,239 Speaker 2: earlier to talk about the housing bill that's been hanging 948 00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:43,440 Speaker 2: out there, President Trump says he is not going to 949 00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:48,760 Speaker 2: sign the housing bill. It will become law tonight without 950 00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:51,000 Speaker 2: his signature. He's not going to veto it, but he's 951 00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:52,799 Speaker 2: not going to sign it. So what happens in that 952 00:51:52,920 --> 00:51:56,200 Speaker 2: case is this bill, which did pass the Congress, will 953 00:51:56,239 --> 00:52:01,600 Speaker 2: become law. The President is saying that this is basically 954 00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:05,600 Speaker 2: a protest of the Congress prioritizing things other than the 955 00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:11,960 Speaker 2: Save America Act, which remains his top priority. This housing 956 00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:15,160 Speaker 2: bill was interesting. It passed with a lot of bipartisan support. 957 00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:20,200 Speaker 2: You had Tim Scott from South Carolina and Elizabeth Warren 958 00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:22,239 Speaker 2: working on it, and. 959 00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:23,320 Speaker 3: It got a lot of votes. 960 00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:26,759 Speaker 2: A few Republicans did not vote for it, and I 961 00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:31,040 Speaker 2: have noticed over the last few days and weeks there 962 00:52:31,080 --> 00:52:36,239 Speaker 2: has been some conservative opposition to this sort of the 963 00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:40,880 Speaker 2: some policy opposition. Again, it was overwhelmingly passed. I didn't 964 00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:43,840 Speaker 2: dig into the nuts and bolts of this thing until 965 00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:47,840 Speaker 2: after the kerfluffle came up with whether President Trump was 966 00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:49,520 Speaker 2: going to sign it or not. I have noticed that 967 00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:53,520 Speaker 2: some conservatives do have some policy objections, but no matter. 968 00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:58,000 Speaker 2: Without the President's signature, that is going to become law. 969 00:52:58,280 --> 00:53:01,560 Speaker 2: This evening, President also says to Day that the ceasefire 970 00:53:01,719 --> 00:53:06,800 Speaker 2: with Iran is over, so definitively says it is over. 971 00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:11,239 Speaker 2: But at the same time he also says Iran is 972 00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:15,719 Speaker 2: going to come back to the table for talks. So 973 00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:18,000 Speaker 2: they've asked for talks, and so we'll see if that 974 00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:21,600 Speaker 2: actually happens. Another story that broke last night, which we 975 00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:24,480 Speaker 2: haven't gotten to on the show today, is that apparently 976 00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:32,439 Speaker 2: the Israeli government provided intelligence to the Trump administration that 977 00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:39,719 Speaker 2: Iran was trying to hatch assassination plots against the president 978 00:53:39,960 --> 00:53:44,480 Speaker 2: while he was over in Turkey and so I mean 979 00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:47,240 Speaker 2: and all you heard the President say this week he's 980 00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:50,719 Speaker 2: the number one target for Iran. But one of the 981 00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:54,480 Speaker 2: stories that broke last night is that our ally, Israel, 982 00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:57,520 Speaker 2: was providing intelligence to the US government to try to 983 00:53:57,600 --> 00:53:58,840 Speaker 2: keep the president safe. 984 00:53:58,880 --> 00:53:59,680 Speaker 3: So, you know, it's interesting. 985 00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:01,560 Speaker 2: I hear a lot of people out there questioning our 986 00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:05,560 Speaker 2: alliance with Israel and why do we do things with them. 987 00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:06,960 Speaker 3: Blah blah blah. 988 00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:09,399 Speaker 2: Well I can tell you this last night, they gave 989 00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:11,799 Speaker 2: the US government intelligence that helped keep our president from 990 00:54:11,840 --> 00:54:15,160 Speaker 2: being assassinated. And I think that's a pretty darn a 991 00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:17,959 Speaker 2: good ally to have in a region where you don't 992 00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:21,319 Speaker 2: always have people with the best of intentions. All Right, 993 00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:26,960 Speaker 2: it's time for Friday Punditry.

I mean, if you've if you've looked at 1031 00:56:11,960 --> 00:56:14,560 Speaker 2: the evidence, and you've seen the text messages and the 1032 00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:18,319 Speaker 2: video testimony from his lover, and you know they have 1033 00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:19,719 Speaker 2: the weapon. 1034 00:56:19,440 --> 00:56:22,040 Speaker 16: And the video of you on the audio, you have all. 1035 00:56:22,800 --> 00:56:26,520 Speaker 2: Oh, Jillian, I'm still hang on, I'm still I'm still here. 1036 00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:32,800 Speaker 3: Okay, guys, I think we're having an issue with Jillian. Yep. 1037 00:56:34,400 --> 00:56:36,000 Speaker 3: So we're gonna try to get Jillian back. 1038 00:56:36,080 --> 00:56:40,359 Speaker 2: But the point she's raising is absolutely true that, uh, 1039 00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:43,160 Speaker 2: if you've watched any of this, if you've seen any 1040 00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:45,799 Speaker 2: of the evidence, it's overwhelming. 1041 00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:47,680 Speaker 3: I saw a lawyer. 1042 00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:50,200 Speaker 2: On TV the other day who's been analyzing this very closely. 1043 00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:53,400 Speaker 2: I think he called it a mount everest of evidence 1044 00:56:54,080 --> 00:57:00,799 Speaker 2: that Tyler Robinson committed this murder. And yet, and yet 1045 00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:06,839 Speaker 2: you have all these people out there, led by Candace Owens, 1046 00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:11,320 Speaker 2: that are refusing to just stare the truth in the face. 1047 00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:16,720 Speaker 2: The truth is Tyler Robinson, according to the evidence, according 1048 00:57:16,760 --> 00:57:22,320 Speaker 2: to everything we've seen, killed Charlie Kirk. And this hearing 1049 00:57:22,320 --> 00:57:24,360 Speaker 2: this week has laid all that evidence out. And now 1050 00:57:24,400 --> 00:57:27,800 Speaker 2: the judge has an overwhelming reason to take this thing 1051 00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:30,560 Speaker 2: to a murder trial, which he says, by the way, 1052 00:57:30,600 --> 00:57:33,680 Speaker 2: he'll probably do in September. Jillian, I think we have 1053 00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:38,880 Speaker 2: you back now. And I was just discussing with the audience. Yeah, well, 1054 00:57:38,920 --> 00:57:41,880 Speaker 2: I was just discussing with the audience how dismaying it 1055 00:57:41,960 --> 00:57:43,640 Speaker 2: is that you have all these people who don't want 1056 00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:46,560 Speaker 2: to believe the evidence that's being presented, and they want 1057 00:57:46,600 --> 00:57:50,360 Speaker 2: to continue to delve in all this conspiracy. And it's 1058 00:57:50,400 --> 00:57:52,640 Speaker 2: so despicable because I think of what it's doing to 1059 00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:56,200 Speaker 2: the widow, Erica Kirk, when you look at the toll 1060 00:57:56,320 --> 00:57:59,240 Speaker 2: this is taking on her. You know, she lost her 1061 00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:01,720 Speaker 2: husband and lost their father, and on top of that, 1062 00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:05,560 Speaker 2: she's got a deal with all these conspiracy theorists and people, 1063 00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:09,200 Speaker 2: by the way, including Candace, who have argued that she has. 1064 00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:10,040 Speaker 3: Something to do with it. 1065 00:58:09,840 --> 00:58:16,840 Speaker 17: It's despicable, not only that they're destroying his legacy, it's 1066 00:58:17,480 --> 00:58:23,480 Speaker 17: the entire package. You're going after his family, You're destroying 1067 00:58:23,520 --> 00:58:29,000 Speaker 17: his legacy, you're destroying all of his friends and literally Scott. 1068 00:58:29,200 --> 00:58:32,520 Speaker 17: There is Tyler Robinson. He was back and forth to 1069 00:58:32,560 --> 00:58:36,000 Speaker 17: the college four times that day. That's his gun. 1070 00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:39,680 Speaker 16: He turned himself in before he was under arrest. His 1071 00:58:39,960 --> 00:58:43,800 Speaker 16: parents told him to turn himself in. His transferry lover 1072 00:58:44,120 --> 00:58:45,920 Speaker 16: all but said he did it. 1073 00:58:46,640 --> 00:58:50,120 Speaker 17: I'm just what is it that people are not grasping 1074 00:58:50,160 --> 00:58:53,240 Speaker 17: about this. I can't tell me what you see that 1075 00:58:53,320 --> 00:58:57,080 Speaker 17: I don't see, because there is absolutely zero room for. 1076 00:58:57,080 --> 00:58:58,680 Speaker 16: Me at this point to believe that it was not 1077 00:58:58,800 --> 00:58:59,640 Speaker 16: Tyler Robinson. 1078 00:59:00,840 --> 00:59:03,680 Speaker 2: I know, I'm with you, and I honestly, Jillian, I 1079 00:59:03,720 --> 00:59:09,680 Speaker 2: think what they see is engagement, farming, self aggrandizement, monetization. 1080 00:59:10,480 --> 00:59:12,439 Speaker 2: I think that's what they see now in the case 1081 00:59:12,440 --> 00:59:17,160 Speaker 2: of Candas. She may have other personal motivations, which people 1082 00:59:17,160 --> 00:59:20,120 Speaker 2: have discussed online. But I do think a lot of 1083 00:59:20,120 --> 00:59:24,920 Speaker 2: people leach onto these situations and say, oh, I can 1084 00:59:24,960 --> 00:59:27,640 Speaker 2: say provocative things here, and I can say crazy things 1085 00:59:27,640 --> 00:59:31,400 Speaker 2: because there's a marketplace for crazy, and in that marketplace 1086 00:59:31,600 --> 00:59:34,680 Speaker 2: often can be somewhat lucrative. Well, I hope that what 1087 00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:37,800 Speaker 2: happens here is that most people look at this and 1088 00:59:37,920 --> 00:59:41,040 Speaker 2: see the evidence, see the clear truth, this trial happens, 1089 00:59:41,120 --> 00:59:45,400 Speaker 2: and that Erica and the family and turning point, I 1090 00:59:45,400 --> 00:59:47,600 Speaker 2: hope they get justice. And I agree with what you said. 1091 00:59:47,720 --> 00:59:50,400 Speaker 2: Charlie's legacy here, that's what matters. 1092 00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:50,640 Speaker 3: You know. 1093 00:59:50,680 --> 00:59:55,880 Speaker 2: We had Charlie on Salem Radio and I was on 1094 00:59:55,920 --> 00:59:57,600 Speaker 2: the air that day when he was shot, and we've 1095 00:59:57,600 --> 00:59:59,800 Speaker 2: carried on the tradition here with the Scott Jennings show 1096 00:59:59,840 --> 01:00:03,400 Speaker 2: of discussing the issues and doing the debates that Charlie 1097 01:00:03,440 --> 01:00:07,240 Speaker 2: was doing. That's the legacy, remembering how Charlie taught us 1098 01:00:07,240 --> 01:00:10,200 Speaker 2: to debate and to approach our political opponents, and to 1099 01:00:10,280 --> 01:00:14,920 Speaker 2: be factual in our arguments and to have values. I mean, 1100 01:00:14,920 --> 01:00:18,200 Speaker 2: that's the Charlie Kirk legacy. These people are trying to tarnish. 1101 01:00:18,200 --> 01:00:21,320 Speaker 2: All right, let's turn our attention to more politics. Jillian, 1102 01:00:21,520 --> 01:00:24,880 Speaker 2: have you been following what is going on with the 1103 01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:28,600 Speaker 2: Senate race in Maine with this crazy character, Graham Platner, 1104 01:00:29,480 --> 01:00:31,600 Speaker 2: who has been run out of the Senate race up 1105 01:00:31,600 --> 01:00:35,080 Speaker 2: there after these terrible allegations. I'm curious, from your vantage 1106 01:00:35,080 --> 01:00:37,560 Speaker 2: in your corner of the world, how have you been 1107 01:00:37,680 --> 01:00:40,880 Speaker 2: viewing what's going on with Graham Platner and the Democrats 1108 01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:42,360 Speaker 2: and how they've handled all this this week? 1109 01:00:44,040 --> 01:00:47,439 Speaker 17: Okay, so I've been following this one pretty closely because 1110 01:00:47,480 --> 01:00:52,040 Speaker 17: I couldn't really wrap my head around how establishment Democrats 1111 01:00:52,040 --> 01:00:55,600 Speaker 17: like Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders were getting behind this guy. 1112 01:00:55,960 --> 01:01:00,000 Speaker 17: He's so radical, he's so anti Semitic, he's raging misogyny 1113 01:01:00,080 --> 01:01:05,080 Speaker 17: missed and Scott after I watched that couple that vetted him. 1114 01:01:05,120 --> 01:01:08,680 Speaker 16: Did you see that video of the guy and girl. 1115 01:01:09,760 --> 01:01:14,680 Speaker 2: Okay, it first of all, the sound of the sound 1116 01:01:14,680 --> 01:01:17,320 Speaker 2: of their voice, like it almost was like a Saturday 1117 01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:20,959 Speaker 2: Night Live skit, like a caricature of what you would 1118 01:01:20,960 --> 01:01:23,080 Speaker 2: imagine these idiots would sound like. 1119 01:01:23,120 --> 01:01:24,600 Speaker 3: But no, it's actually real. 1120 01:01:24,920 --> 01:01:28,760 Speaker 2: Uh and uh, it's it's sort of shocking how all 1121 01:01:28,800 --> 01:01:32,160 Speaker 2: this happened, But I think it uncovers some some very 1122 01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:35,320 Speaker 2: deep problems, some deep rot in the Democratic Party right now. 1123 01:01:35,320 --> 01:01:38,760 Speaker 2: They got they got some real problems with how they 1124 01:01:38,800 --> 01:01:41,800 Speaker 2: are not just picking candidates but then presenting them to 1125 01:01:41,840 --> 01:01:43,800 Speaker 2: the public. I mean, they made up a whole story 1126 01:01:43,840 --> 01:01:46,040 Speaker 2: about Platner. He's not an oyster farmer, he's not a 1127 01:01:46,040 --> 01:01:49,880 Speaker 2: working class guy. He's a ne'er do well, privileged guy 1128 01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:52,760 Speaker 2: who's never really done anything other than be a scumbag 1129 01:01:52,800 --> 01:01:55,360 Speaker 2: that was, and they presented him as some working class hero. 1130 01:01:55,480 --> 01:01:57,360 Speaker 2: By the way, the working class people in Maine never 1131 01:01:57,400 --> 01:01:59,680 Speaker 2: bought it. But that's what they chose to do. It's 1132 01:01:59,720 --> 01:02:01,200 Speaker 2: it's a rot in their party. 1133 01:02:01,240 --> 01:02:05,760 Speaker 17: I think, Well, it turns out that rot is linked 1134 01:02:06,240 --> 01:02:10,000 Speaker 17: to the Democratic Socialists of America. That's who those two, 1135 01:02:10,520 --> 01:02:13,160 Speaker 17: that's who they work for. And I kept thinking, this 1136 01:02:13,160 --> 01:02:15,680 Speaker 17: guy's got to be DSA. And every time you look 1137 01:02:15,720 --> 01:02:18,680 Speaker 17: into Platter it's like, well, no, Lean socialism. You know, 1138 01:02:18,760 --> 01:02:21,680 Speaker 17: he's a Bernie guy, but he's not a member of 1139 01:02:21,720 --> 01:02:22,280 Speaker 17: the DSA. 1140 01:02:22,480 --> 01:02:23,440 Speaker 16: And they buried it. 1141 01:02:23,920 --> 01:02:27,680 Speaker 17: And these two who vetted him, who you know, crafted 1142 01:02:27,760 --> 01:02:32,120 Speaker 17: this glory glorified image of him being an oyster farmer. 1143 01:02:33,160 --> 01:02:34,480 Speaker 16: They are DSA. 1144 01:02:35,160 --> 01:02:38,960 Speaker 17: They found this guy, they vetted him, they packaged him up, 1145 01:02:39,440 --> 01:02:44,000 Speaker 17: and all of his repulsive qualities came front and center. 1146 01:02:44,040 --> 01:02:46,680 Speaker 17: And the people have Maine rejected it. And it wasn't 1147 01:02:46,760 --> 01:02:50,040 Speaker 17: because of the latest rape allegation. It's because he was 1148 01:02:50,160 --> 01:02:52,920 Speaker 17: tanking in the polls by the end of Jet absolutely 1149 01:02:53,040 --> 01:02:57,400 Speaker 17: and the entire Democrat Party debased themselves, holding their nose, 1150 01:02:57,520 --> 01:03:00,240 Speaker 17: as Senny Houston said, to get behind him. But the 1151 01:03:00,280 --> 01:03:03,040 Speaker 17: people of Maine are better than that, thank god. 1152 01:03:04,280 --> 01:03:06,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, they're going to move on to somebody else here. 1153 01:03:06,320 --> 01:03:07,280 Speaker 2: I don't know who's going to win. 1154 01:03:07,720 --> 01:03:07,880 Speaker 12: You know. 1155 01:03:07,920 --> 01:03:10,040 Speaker 2: Interestingly, Platner has said he's going to drop out. He 1156 01:03:10,040 --> 01:03:12,920 Speaker 2: hasn't actually dropped out yet, you know, he hasn't until Monday, 1157 01:03:12,960 --> 01:03:15,920 Speaker 2: we'll see, we'll see what happens up there.

You do so much, You've always 1198 01:05:11,520 --> 01:05:13,800 Speaker 2: got so much going on, and we love to see 1199 01:05:13,800 --> 01:05:15,760 Speaker 2: what you're doing in your content and your projects. 1200 01:05:15,760 --> 01:05:18,480 Speaker 3: What's the next big thing coming from Jillian Michaels. 1201 01:05:19,280 --> 01:05:19,880 Speaker 16: Thanks Scott. 1202 01:05:19,960 --> 01:05:24,080 Speaker 17: Actually, I'm working on a book that's called The Sickness Syndicate, 1203 01:05:24,680 --> 01:05:27,600 Speaker 17: and it looks at the ways in which the four 1204 01:05:27,640 --> 01:05:33,080 Speaker 17: industries of agfood, pharma, and insurance are literally making us 1205 01:05:33,080 --> 01:05:36,000 Speaker 17: all fat, sick, and nearly dead. And I have a 1206 01:05:36,040 --> 01:05:39,400 Speaker 17: project coming out with Fox Nation this fall and it's 1207 01:05:39,440 --> 01:05:42,440 Speaker 17: called Toxic two. So it's a follow up. It's a 1208 01:05:42,440 --> 01:05:44,360 Speaker 17: sequel to the first one we did that went really well, 1209 01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:46,000 Speaker 17: and it's looking at the ways in which we are 1210 01:05:46,040 --> 01:05:51,840 Speaker 17: poisoning our youth, from screens to food, all of it. 1211 01:05:52,360 --> 01:05:55,600 Speaker 16: So kind of dark stuff, but important to know. 1212 01:05:55,800 --> 01:05:58,960 Speaker 2: Nonetheless, it looks like I've just pulled up your book here, 1213 01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:01,440 Speaker 2: The Sickness Syndicate, and it looks like you can pre 1214 01:06:01,600 --> 01:06:04,760 Speaker 2: order it on Amazon and you're expecting it to come out. 1215 01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:06,120 Speaker 2: Looks like next February. 1216 01:06:06,160 --> 01:06:06,640 Speaker 3: Is that right? 1217 01:06:08,680 --> 01:06:11,280 Speaker 16: You know, the publisher has moved it around a few times. 1218 01:06:11,560 --> 01:06:13,520 Speaker 16: The last I heard was January, So you're. 1219 01:06:14,240 --> 01:06:19,480 Speaker 2: Oh, okay, Yeah, I was in the same boat when 1220 01:06:19,520 --> 01:06:22,520 Speaker 2: I wrote my book. I wasn't always up on the 1221 01:06:22,560 --> 01:06:26,200 Speaker 2: latest publishing imaginations. But nonetheless, we'll look for this book 1222 01:06:26,200 --> 01:06:30,240 Speaker 2: from Jillian Michael's called The Sickness Syndicate, and we'll have 1223 01:06:30,320 --> 01:06:31,880 Speaker 2: you back when that comes out. All right, it's time 1224 01:06:31,920 --> 01:06:36,000 Speaker 2: for the Winners and Losers with Jillian Michaels now before 1225 01:06:36,040 --> 01:06:38,280 Speaker 2: a warned audience. I don't know what she's going to say. 1226 01:06:38,440 --> 01:06:40,680 Speaker 2: She has she has said to me that I may 1227 01:06:40,720 --> 01:06:44,040 Speaker 2: be surprised by this. Let's see if we are, Jillian, 1228 01:06:44,160 --> 01:06:46,520 Speaker 2: who is your winner of the work? 1229 01:06:46,720 --> 01:06:50,960 Speaker 16: Are you ready? I think it's Donald Trump. And now 1230 01:06:51,000 --> 01:06:51,560 Speaker 16: you might. 1231 01:06:51,520 --> 01:06:53,439 Speaker 17: Think that he is the biggest loser of the week 1232 01:06:53,520 --> 01:06:55,000 Speaker 17: because the ceasefire is off. 1233 01:06:55,040 --> 01:06:56,880 Speaker 16: But Scott, I have a theory. 1234 01:06:57,120 --> 01:07:01,880 Speaker 17: Now this is all conjecture, but I think that Trump 1235 01:07:01,960 --> 01:07:05,120 Speaker 17: never had any intention of going through with that memorandum 1236 01:07:05,120 --> 01:07:07,640 Speaker 17: of understanding. I think so many of us were like, 1237 01:07:07,720 --> 01:07:10,520 Speaker 17: this deal seems like garbage. I don't really get it. 1238 01:07:10,800 --> 01:07:14,160 Speaker 17: I think he used that ceasefire to open up the 1239 01:07:14,240 --> 01:07:18,200 Speaker 17: alternative shipping route that has been dead since prior to 1240 01:07:18,920 --> 01:07:22,440 Speaker 17: the Iranian revolution in the seventies. So they used the ceasefire, 1241 01:07:22,520 --> 01:07:25,360 Speaker 17: they demine it, they get permission to use it. They 1242 01:07:25,440 --> 01:07:28,160 Speaker 17: put our navy in there, they widen it up, they 1243 01:07:28,200 --> 01:07:31,520 Speaker 17: start using it, and now they've removed Iran's ability to 1244 01:07:31,560 --> 01:07:34,360 Speaker 17: say that's our territory, so legally you can't use it 1245 01:07:34,400 --> 01:07:38,960 Speaker 17: because it's not. They're not using Iran's infrastructure, their physical infrastructure, 1246 01:07:39,000 --> 01:07:41,760 Speaker 17: because they're not. So in order to gain back control, 1247 01:07:41,800 --> 01:07:45,560 Speaker 17: Iran has one choice, and that's use force, which they 1248 01:07:45,600 --> 01:07:49,440 Speaker 17: did in waters that were not theirs, on tankers that 1249 01:07:49,480 --> 01:07:52,560 Speaker 17: were not US tankers. And I think what it did 1250 01:07:52,680 --> 01:07:55,080 Speaker 17: was it allowed Trump advance to say, we did everything right. 1251 01:07:55,920 --> 01:07:57,600 Speaker 16: They're the ones that broke the ceasefire. 1252 01:07:58,080 --> 01:08:01,000 Speaker 17: Now we have no choice but to use against them, 1253 01:08:01,520 --> 01:08:06,720 Speaker 17: and they alienated themselves with the international community that much 1254 01:08:06,800 --> 01:08:08,480 Speaker 17: further by engaging in those actions. 1255 01:08:08,520 --> 01:08:10,840 Speaker 16: I think it was a trap. That's my So that's 1256 01:08:10,880 --> 01:08:11,920 Speaker 16: my theories. 1257 01:08:11,560 --> 01:08:15,240 Speaker 2: Gone, all right, Gillian Michael says, Donald Trump playing four 1258 01:08:15,360 --> 01:08:17,400 Speaker 2: D chess on it. I'll tell you two things that 1259 01:08:17,479 --> 01:08:19,280 Speaker 2: jump out to me from your take. Number One, I 1260 01:08:19,280 --> 01:08:22,920 Speaker 2: think it's absolutely true that what we've learned is that 1261 01:08:23,479 --> 01:08:27,040 Speaker 2: we can move dependence on the straight, so other oil 1262 01:08:27,080 --> 01:08:32,160 Speaker 2: producing nations are removing their dependence on that particular area. 1263 01:08:32,200 --> 01:08:35,120 Speaker 2: And number two, because of that, and because there's still 1264 01:08:35,120 --> 01:08:37,800 Speaker 2: some ships going through. We haven't seen the volatility in 1265 01:08:37,840 --> 01:08:39,600 Speaker 2: the oil market. In fact, right now crude oil is 1266 01:08:39,600 --> 01:08:42,560 Speaker 2: trading at seventy one fifty eight a barrel. It was 1267 01:08:42,600 --> 01:08:44,880 Speaker 2: eighty dollars when Donald Trump became the president. We just 1268 01:08:44,920 --> 01:08:47,200 Speaker 2: haven't seen a spike in that this week. So, Jillian, 1269 01:08:47,280 --> 01:08:50,519 Speaker 2: you might be onto something with your take about how 1270 01:08:50,560 --> 01:08:54,400 Speaker 2: Trump has played this. And look, you know, my view 1271 01:08:54,479 --> 01:08:58,200 Speaker 2: is this, He gave diplomacy a chance. He said, look, 1272 01:08:58,200 --> 01:08:59,800 Speaker 2: if you guys want to participate with the rest of 1273 01:08:59,840 --> 01:09:03,280 Speaker 2: the world, fine, but if you don't, also fine, and 1274 01:09:03,320 --> 01:09:04,840 Speaker 2: we'll go back to bombing you. And that's where we 1275 01:09:04,880 --> 01:09:06,960 Speaker 2: are now. I hope it doesn't last forever, but it 1276 01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:09,680 Speaker 2: may last for a long time because the people who 1277 01:09:09,760 --> 01:09:13,960 Speaker 2: run this place are obviously fanatics who don't deal in reason, 1278 01:09:14,439 --> 01:09:16,880 Speaker 2: and so we're dealing with a fallout of that. 1279 01:09:16,960 --> 01:09:17,280 Speaker 3: All right. 1280 01:09:17,520 --> 01:09:19,240 Speaker 2: You know what, I just realized, by the way, since 1281 01:09:19,240 --> 01:09:21,120 Speaker 2: you're on here, I should have given you the loser 1282 01:09:21,160 --> 01:09:23,759 Speaker 2: and I could have said who is the biggest loser 1283 01:09:23,800 --> 01:09:26,519 Speaker 2: of the week, which would, of course made all the 1284 01:09:26,560 --> 01:09:28,080 Speaker 2: sense in the world for me to have done that. 1285 01:09:28,200 --> 01:09:29,680 Speaker 2: I just thought of it now. But you've already done 1286 01:09:29,680 --> 01:09:31,599 Speaker 2: the winter, so I'll do I'll take your job now. 1287 01:09:31,640 --> 01:09:34,040 Speaker 2: I'm gonna do the biggest loser, and I'm going to 1288 01:09:34,120 --> 01:09:37,479 Speaker 2: tell you how the biggest loser is. It's I'm sorry 1289 01:09:37,479 --> 01:09:42,680 Speaker 2: to tell you it's Candice Owens. Because the entire conspiracy 1290 01:09:42,760 --> 01:09:48,320 Speaker 2: theory house of cards around Charlie Kirk has completely come 1291 01:09:48,439 --> 01:09:52,400 Speaker 2: crashing down this week. Every single thing they threw out there, 1292 01:09:52,520 --> 01:09:57,559 Speaker 2: the exploding microphone and all this garbage, every single thing 1293 01:09:58,320 --> 01:10:02,560 Speaker 2: has been debunked by the evidence presented in the courtroom 1294 01:10:02,720 --> 01:10:06,120 Speaker 2: in Utah. We know the truth.
