Welcome to the Scott Jenning Show. 10 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 1: Well, we have a packed show today.

Anthony Esposito tells 12 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,640 Speaker 1: us at thirty three minutes past the hour. Today, Sarah 13 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,279 Speaker 1: iger Flores stops in from SCOTUSblog to talk about this 14 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 1: mail and ballot case that's up before the Supreme Court 15 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 1: could have November implications. ICE agents appear to have made 16 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 1: some progress and reducing wait times in a few airports, 17 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 1: and Mark Wayne Mullen heads to DHS while the governor 18 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:10,320 Speaker 1: of Oklahoma names his replacement to the US Senate. It 19 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,839 Speaker 1: is Tuesday, March twenty fourth. This is common sense for 20 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 1: the American people. I'm Scott Jennings broadcasting today for Salem 21 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 1: and we are live from your nation's capital. Topping the 22 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 1: news today, Oklahoma has a new senator. His name is 23 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 1: Alan Armstrong. He has extensive experience in the energy sector 24 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: and he will serve until November when Oklahoma elects a 25 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 1: new senator. The governor there, Kevin Stitt, made the announcement 26 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: in just a little while ago. Now, this vacancy was 27 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: caused by the confirmation of Mark Wayne Mullen to be 28 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 1: the new Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. He 29 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 1: was approved last night by the Senate in a vote 30 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 1: of fifty four to forty five, a bipartisan vote. So 31 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: Mark Wayne heads to DHS. Armstrong heads to the Senate. 32 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: Speaking of several Publican senators went over to the White 33 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 1: House last night to see the President about a possible 34 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 1: deal to end the Democratic shutdown of Homeland Security. Now, 35 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: I'm told by a source who was there that the 36 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: contours of a plan are in place. First part of 37 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: the plan fund everything at DHS except the ICE operations. 38 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 1: That's about everybody except for six thousand people. So two 39 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty four thousand employees get funded. Six thousand 40 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 1: would be left out. Now, you have to remember ICE 41 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 1: is funded because of the big beautiful bill last summer. 42 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,800 Speaker 1: They've got their money already, so this part of the 43 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: plan might even attract some Democratic votes, and I am 44 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 1: told the President supports it now. The second part of 45 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 1: the plan, it would be to then move immediately to 46 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 1: a budget reconciliation process where you could then fund ICE 47 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 1: further and also attach the Save America Act and pass 48 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 1: it with just simple majorities in both chambers. We'll see 49 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,239 Speaker 1: how it shakes out, but that's where I think things 50 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 1: are standing at this hour. Of course, this entire DHS 51 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:14,520 Speaker 1: shutdown is because Democrats are throwing a tantrum over deporting 52 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: illegal aliens, and in the process they injected misery into 53 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 1: American airports, causing long lines, huge delays, and lots of 54 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 1: missed flights for average American travelers. President Trump deployed ICE 55 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: agents to several airports yesterday, and it appears to have 56 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 1: in at least a few places made a positive difference, 57 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: with wait times reduced as crowd management strategies worked. No 58 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 1: negative incidents out there, despite Democratic predictions to the contrary. 59 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: Here's how the local news called it at the Philly 60 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 1: Airport and cut number eighteen. 61 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 4: Once again, ICE agents have arrived here in Philadelphia. 62 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 2: But I do want to point out this is an 63 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 2: empty line right now. 64 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 5: We are standing in the middle where travelers come to 65 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 5: check in for TSA, and yesterday this was all the 66 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 5: way back to the garage. 67 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 6: So good news today lines aren't too bad Over in Atlanta. 68 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: There appears to be some measurable and positive impact seeing 69 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: in this morning with the latest there at Hartsfield Jackson 70 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 1: and Cut seventeen. 71 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 7: Well, there may be a celebration here at the airport 72 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,359 Speaker 7: before it's all satting down, especially for the folks who've. 73 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 2: Been working NonStop extra shifts. 74 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 8: If you look right here, you can see this at 75 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 8: the main checkpoint. Almost no line's no waiting, Sarah, and 76 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 8: it is unbelievable at this point. 77 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,799 Speaker 1: Turns out you can just do things like send ice 78 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 1: agents to the airport and help clean up this democratic mess. 79 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: But back to the heart of the matter. If you 80 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 1: let these democrats talk long enough about all of these issues, 81 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 1: they will tell you exactly what they are doing and 82 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 1: who they care about the most. Let's listen to Chris Murphy, 83 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: Senator from Connecticut, and a mostly forgotten clip from an 84 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 1: interview he did on MSNBC back in twenty twenty four. 85 00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 2: Here's cut number three. 86 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 9: The negotiation didn't have a path of citizenship. It was 87 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 9: entirely on their terms in order to get Ukraine funding. 88 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 2: Right. 89 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,719 Speaker 7: Well, I mean, Chris, that's been a failed play for 90 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 7: twenty years, so you are right that that has been 91 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 7: the Democratic strategy for thirty years maybe, and it has 92 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 7: failed to deliver for the people we care about most, 93 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 7: to the undocumented Americans that are in this country. 94 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,159 Speaker 1: Did you catch that? And I'm going to play it again. 95 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,719 Speaker 1: That's Chris Murphy. Now he is a clown. He's also 96 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: a Senator from Connecticut, but he says the quiet part 97 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 1: out loud. Democrats care more about illegal aliens, which he 98 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:46,679 Speaker 1: called undocumented Americans than any one or anything else. 99 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 2: Here it is again cut number three. 100 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,919 Speaker 9: The negotiation didn't have a path of citizenship. It was 101 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:56,480 Speaker 9: entirely on their terms in order to get Ukraine funding. 102 00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 7: Right. Well, I mean, Chris, that's been a failed play 103 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 7: for twenty years. So you are right that that has 104 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 7: been the Democratic strategy for thirty years maybe, and it 105 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 7: has failed to deliver for the people we care about most, 106 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 7: to the undocumented Americans that are in this country. 107 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: And since Murphy said that, well, the Democrats have proved 108 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:25,719 Speaker 1: him right. They have resisted all efforts to deport illegal aliens, 109 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 1: even violent offenders. They will do anything for illegal aliens 110 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 1: to get them here, to keep them here, to coddle 111 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 1: them when they break our laws, and to excuse them 112 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: when they murder our citizens. Just listen to this Chicago alderman, 113 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 1: Maria Hadden, who blames Sheridan Gorman for her own murder. 114 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: You know Sheridan, the eighteen year old college student who 115 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: was murdered by the Venezuelan illegal immigrant this weekend. We 116 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: brought you her tragic story yesterday. This Democratic politician in 117 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: Chicago is blaming this poor girl, this poor murder victim, 118 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: for her own death. Cut number seven. 119 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 10: All the time, right, And they go out on the pier, 120 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 10: they walk around so that the kids were out doing 121 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 10: normal things people do in the neighborhood. And it sounds 122 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 10: like this might have been a wrong place, wrong time, 123 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 10: running into a person who had a gun. They might 124 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,679 Speaker 10: have startled this person at the end of the peer unintentionally. 125 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 1: But that's that is an elected official in Chicago who 126 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: says the murder victim, Sheridan Gorman, was in the wrong 127 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 1: place at the wrong time, What about the illegal alien 128 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 1: from Venezuela. Was mister Medina in the wrong place at 129 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 1: the wrong time? Common sense would tell you that, yes, yes, 130 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,679 Speaker 1: in fact he was. But the Democratic Party folks, well, 131 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: they believe in an American murder victim was in the 132 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 1: wrong place, that she shouldn't have taken a walk with 133 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 1: her friends in her own country. How many more times 134 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,679 Speaker 1: do we need to see Democrats tell us who they are. 135 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 1: It's a political party that is being operated for the 136 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 1: express purpose of importing and retaining as many illegal aliens, 137 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 1: violent and otherwise as possible. Seems that every day we're 138 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 1: confronted with new evidence that the open border policies of 139 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party have allowed an extremely violent people who 140 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: were held bent on terrorizing American cities at American citizens. 141 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 1: Last week in Utah, in fact, federal authorities have confirmed 142 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 1: that an illegal alien from Mexico attempted to murder a 143 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 1: woman by slashing her throat and leaving her to die. 144 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 1: Investigators have identified the suspect as thirty year old Jesus 145 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 1: Alejandro Ramirez Padia. He told the police that he had 146 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: quote been having thoughts of killing someone, and today he 147 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 1: decided that he was going to kill the woman. 148 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 2: I'll continue on with the story. 149 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 1: Jesus said he strangled the woman from behind while they 150 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 1: were both standing, until she became unconscious and fell to 151 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 1: the ground. Once on the ground, Haesus placed his hands 152 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:06,320 Speaker 1: around her neck it continued choking her. Jesus said he 153 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 1: wanted to take the woman out of her misery, and 154 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,839 Speaker 1: then used a blade to cut her throat two or 155 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,680 Speaker 1: three times. Haesus told detectives he intended to kill the woman, 156 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 1: and he told detectives that his state of mind was 157 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 1: altered from ingesting drugs. This is all in the arrest affidavit. 158 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,199 Speaker 1: The victim survives somehow. She's in critical but stable condition. 159 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: Ramirez Padilla was charged with attempted murder, obstruction of justice, 160 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,559 Speaker 1: aggravated assault, and used her possession of drug paraphernalia and 161 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 1: is currently being held at the Salt Lake City Jail. 162 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 1: Federal officials are begging local officials there not to release 163 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 1: him back into the streets, but of course it's ridiculous 164 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 1: that they even have to ask, because democrats and cities 165 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,440 Speaker 1: across America, while they release violent illegals back onto the 166 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 1: streets your streets every day.

That's the headline today 214 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 1: from my good friend Curtis Hawk over at the Media 215 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 1: Research Center and NewsBusters. We're talking, of course, about the 216 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 1: tragic murder of Shared and Gorman in Chicago by an 217 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 1: illegal alien from Venezuela. Curtis Hawk joins us now to 218 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 1: discuss this news. Curtis, good to have you back on 219 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 1: the show. 220 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 2: Here. 221 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 1: My first question, and I hesitate to ask because I'm 222 00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 1: not sure I want to know the answer, but I 223 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,320 Speaker 1: think I already know the answer, is how is the 224 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:04,840 Speaker 1: mainstream news media handling this terrible situation in Chicago so far? 225 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 12: Well, Scott, this is an example of why we need 226 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 12: shows like yours and conservative media to exist, because without it, 227 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,679 Speaker 12: the American people would have no idea that this kind 228 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 12: of thing is going on. NBC News only twenty three 229 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,200 Speaker 12: seconds on the murder. Since it was found out that 230 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 12: the suspect in the case is an illegal immigrant stricken 231 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 12: with tuberculosis and thus not able to appear at his 232 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 12: initial court date. ABC one single segment less than a 233 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,320 Speaker 12: minute and a half, just over a minute ten CBS 234 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 12: is the only one to have. 235 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 8: Cracked even two minutes. So you have all those things up, it's. 236 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:47,960 Speaker 12: Still well below five minutes. It's an embarrassing display by 237 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 12: the media here, and they've shown time and time again, 238 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 12: whether it's Rachel Moore and Jocelyn Nungrie or some of 239 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,720 Speaker 12: the more recent instance with illegal immigrants behind the wheel 240 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,559 Speaker 12: of semi trucks. That's Katari Duffi is trying to address 241 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 12: the American media are not serving the American people and 242 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 12: instead when they do talk about illegal imment, of course 243 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 12: it's the case of people like the Maryland man whom 244 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 12: they'll side with. 245 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 1: Well, I did see a Curtis a headline. I think 246 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 1: it was in the Chicago newspaper. Their initial tweet on 247 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 1: it referred to him. I don't know if it was 248 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 1: Chicago man or they used one of the suburbs of Chicago, 249 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 1: but they definitely went out of their way to try 250 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 1: to make it seem like this person was not an 251 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 1: illegal alien. Let's talk about the Democratic officials in Chicago, Illinois. 252 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 2: The governor there, JB. 253 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 1: Pritzker, has put out a very muted condolence tweet that 254 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 1: doesn't address the issue at hand. What's going on with JB. 255 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: Pritsker now he's running for president. Is it your opinion 256 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 1: that he's not really able to dive into this story 257 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 1: because it would hurt him with the radical Democrats will 258 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 1: vote in the twenty twenty eight primary, Scott. 259 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,360 Speaker 12: The irony in all of this is Jamie Pritzker did 260 00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:00,080 Speaker 12: a video a few months ago walking along either the 261 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 12: same peer or one yearby mocking this notion that illegal 262 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 12: immigrants are causing crime in our streets and harming American citizens. So, 263 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 12: you know, you would think that he's now that he's caught, 264 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 12: he would own up to it. But as you point out, 265 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 12: he's running for a re election, running for president. He's 266 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 12: also bankrolling numerous other Democrat officials, either himself or through 267 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 12: his various other super packs, So he has an agenda 268 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 12: to push and it's obviously not on the side of 269 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 12: the American people. It's on the side of illegal immigrants, 270 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 12: their base of voters. 271 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 1: Now it seems to me that there may be one 272 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 1: sane Democrat left at least currently serving in elected office, 273 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 1: and that is John Fetterman, the Senator from Pennsylvania. He 274 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 1: put out a much more passionate response where he talked 275 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 1: about being the Democratic lead on the Lake and Riley Act. 276 00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 1: How is it that we have an entire political party 277 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 1: and only one elected Democrat can do the right thing 278 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 1: When an eighteen year old American citizen is horrifically tragically 279 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 1: murdered by a Venezuelan illegal immigrant. One Democrat out of 280 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 1: an entire political party, and it's Fetterman, who lives in 281 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 1: a different state. 282 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 12: This shows the state of the American left. Scott, You know, 283 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 12: you would think that a story like this, a young, 284 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 12: beautiful college student murdered in cold blood, is the kind 285 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 12: of thing of a lifetime movie or the grocery store tabloids. 286 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 12: It's the kind of thing that the news media would 287 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 12: normally be interested in. But obviously, because of the facts 288 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 12: of the case, allegedly they're not going to cover it. 289 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 12: They're not going to acknowledge it. And as you point 290 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 12: out about the local media and the local politicians, this 291 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 12: goes beyond simply left and right. This is simply right 292 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 12: versus wrong. And in the case of the media, basic 293 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 12: journalism is being violated by not including parts of the who, what, where, when, why, 294 00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 12: and how. It's basic you know, English comprehension that we 295 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 12: learn not even in college or high school, in middle school, 296 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 12: that they are purposefully leaving out because they have an 297 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 12: agenda to push and someone like Fetterman, if that a 298 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 12: Democratic party were saying and the left we're saying, you'd 299 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,680 Speaker 12: be all replaced, and instead they're looking to primary him 300 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:16,920 Speaker 12: back in my home state. 301 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a crazy situation because we're debating nationally right 302 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,200 Speaker 1: now immigration issues. It's why the Department of Homeland Security 303 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 1: is closed, it's why there's long lines at the airports, 304 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 1: and here you have a violent murder caused by illegal 305 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 1: immigration policies that are preferred by one party. You'd think 306 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 1: this would be a good entree point to sort of 307 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:41,400 Speaker 1: personalize a national policy debate. But no, the narrative, Curtis, 308 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,400 Speaker 1: as you point out, is all that matters to the Democrats, 309 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,679 Speaker 1: and all that matters to the national media at Curtis 310 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 1: Hawk is over at them Media Research Center, NewsBusters. 311 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,879 Speaker 2: You watch more cable TV than anybody.

Many 320 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 1: Wall Street experts predict higher prices ahead. Why well, because 321 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 1: we still have trillions in national debt, a declining dollar, 322 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,960 Speaker 1: and inflation that keeps shrinking our savings. 323 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 2: Even with corrections. 324 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 1: Along the way, gold remains a historical hedge for wealth protection. 325 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:36,439 Speaker 1: That's why Morgan Stanley's chief investment officer ditched the sixty 326 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:40,119 Speaker 1: forty stocks and bonds portfolio and is recommending up to 327 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:44,399 Speaker 1: twenty percent in precious medals.

Before we get to him, though, I just 341 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:33,400 Speaker 1: wanted to take a moment. Something happened on CNN last night. 342 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 1: I was on the ten o'clock debating show normally hosted 343 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:39,359 Speaker 1: by Abby Phillip last night expertly hosted, I might add 344 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:43,160 Speaker 1: by Casey Hunt did a terrific job filling in, and 345 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,879 Speaker 1: they had this character on there, Miles Taylor. Now you 346 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:51,239 Speaker 1: remember Miles. He is the low level staffer from the 347 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 1: first Trump administration who wrote the anonymous op ed in 348 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 1: the New York Times saying he was going to try 349 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 1: to subvert the will of the commander in chief, who's, 350 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 1: by the way, is elected. These low level staffers are 351 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 1: not at any rate. You remember this whole saga with 352 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 1: with Miles Taylor. Well, he bounces around in DC and 353 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,639 Speaker 1: pops up on these shows from time to time. Last 354 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:16,639 Speaker 1: night he made a passionate argument for while Obama was 355 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 1: so much better on Iran, and then Trump is right. Now, 356 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 1: I want to play this exchange for you and cut nineteen. 357 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,439 Speaker 13: All three of us ragged on the Obama administration for 358 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 13: given cash to the Iranian regime to reach a nuclear deal. 359 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,120 Speaker 13: I think it was four hundred million dollars in palets 360 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 13: what Donald Trump just did on lifting sanctions on Iranian oil? 361 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 14: Oil? 362 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 8: That is ten times much. 363 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:44,440 Speaker 13: Money, times as much money. 364 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 1: Do you think that the Ayatola prefers his life under 365 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 1: Obama or under Trump? 366 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,880 Speaker 2: Probably?

Welcome into the Scott Chenning Show. 382 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 1: You've been on I think once before, and we met 383 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 1: actually on a CNN panel a little bit like that one. 384 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:53,440 Speaker 1: But you are tracking this stuff, you're trading, you're in 385 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 1: the middle of all the finances, and I just you know, 386 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 1: we haven't had a big economic conversation on the show 387 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,919 Speaker 1: in a while, so I'm inviting you on on. I 388 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 1: kind of want your vibe check. We get a lot 389 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 1: of data, yeah, hear a lot of things. You get 390 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 1: a lot of punditry, but I wanted somebody who works 391 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 1: in it. Where do we stand in your opinion? First question, 392 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 1: what is the health of the US economy as we 393 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:15,640 Speaker 1: sit here in March twenty twenty six. 394 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:18,680 Speaker 15: Well, Scott, thanks so much for having me again. It's 395 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,920 Speaker 15: great to see again the health of the economy is 396 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:22,920 Speaker 15: actually slowing. 397 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 14: We had a pretty strong we had a very slow. 398 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:29,399 Speaker 15: Start to twenty twenty five as far as GDP, and 399 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 15: then we gradually picked up and we had a really 400 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 15: great Q three on an annualized basis over four percent growth. 401 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 15: That's kind of pared down a little bit to what 402 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:39,680 Speaker 15: looks like will be the Q four number of about 403 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 15: one point four percent. 404 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,200 Speaker 14: So President Trump has done a great job of. 405 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:49,359 Speaker 15: Not only privatizing the economy and reducing government jobs and 406 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:53,160 Speaker 15: government spending which is the taxpayer dollar and printed money, 407 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,920 Speaker 15: so that's obviously anti inflationary pro growth. So done a 408 00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,679 Speaker 15: great job of bringing in private investment through the trade 409 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 15: and tariff conversations, all of which has done a few things. 410 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,359 Speaker 15: So it's increased the real take home wages. We've seen 411 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 15: those go up about one point five percent, which is 412 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:15,239 Speaker 15: nothing short of amazing. We've seen government jobs down at 413 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 15: a ten year low. We've seen an increase in construction 414 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:21,000 Speaker 15: jobs across the board, private jobs across the board, and 415 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 15: jobs that have gone to Native born Americans. We had 416 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 15: a massive year over a million jobs went to Native 417 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,160 Speaker 15: born Americans, which was a negative under President Biden, which 418 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 15: a lot of people don't realize. So we definitely have 419 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,720 Speaker 15: some momentum. The Big Beautiful Bill again adding some tailwind 420 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 15: and momentum to the economy. But we have seen what 421 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 15: I see as a slowing going into Q four. GDP 422 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 15: payrolls looked good, they were strong. We got a pretty 423 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,399 Speaker 15: pretty sour February report as far as non farm payrolls, 424 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 15: so we're keeping an eye on that. And now we 425 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:57,159 Speaker 15: have the conflict in Iran, which, whatever your view is, 426 00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 15: mind personally is that it was a necessary event. That's 427 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 15: going to be a real question mark moving forward as 428 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:04,679 Speaker 15: far as inflation and economic growth. 429 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:06,200 Speaker 14: So, long story. 430 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,639 Speaker 15: Short, we have an economy that's moving in the right direction. 431 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:12,359 Speaker 15: President Trump's agenda has been nothing short of amazing on 432 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,359 Speaker 15: many fronts, but we're facing some hurdles now as we 433 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 15: head into the end of middle of twenty twenty six. 434 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,919 Speaker 1: So as a lay person, you're an economist, you're in 435 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 1: the financial markets. 436 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 2: I'm not. 437 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 1: Here are the things that I hear, just as a 438 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 1: conservative who tends to vote for Republicans and their policies. 439 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 2: Here's what I hear that I like government is shrinking. 440 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 1: I think we have actually the smallest federal workforce since 441 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 1: nineteen sixty six. I mean, every Republican I've ever worked 442 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 1: for said they were going to shrink the government. 443 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 2: Trump finally did it. That's number one. Number two. You 444 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 2: mentioned this. 445 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 1: I like it that the job growth is actually in 446 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,080 Speaker 1: the private sector. I think under Biden he had two 447 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:49,359 Speaker 1: things going on. A lot of the job growth was 448 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,479 Speaker 1: actually in government, so government jobs were growing, and then 449 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,919 Speaker 1: whatever private sector job growth you had, a lot of 450 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 1: those jobs were not going to American citizens. Now jobs 451 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,639 Speaker 1: in government coming down, private sector going up. In the 452 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 1: private sector, jobs are going to actual American citizens. 453 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:07,520 Speaker 2: I like that. 454 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 1: The things that worry me truthfully, you know, there's been 455 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 1: some uneven GDP numbers, as you mentioned, and I still 456 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 1: am not quite sure what to make of how Iran 457 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:19,960 Speaker 1: in the war is going to shake out long term. 458 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 1: We've seen the fluctuation of the energy markets and gas prices. 459 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,560 Speaker 1: My assumption is if it ends somewhat quickly, you'll see 460 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,639 Speaker 1: that settle back into normal. So there's things that I like. 461 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:30,439 Speaker 1: And then you mentioned that we got a little bit 462 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 1: of softness on the growth side. In your opinion, what's 463 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 1: going right today and then sort of what worries you 464 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 1: for the next you know, three to six months. 465 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,520 Speaker 15: I think you nailed a lot of what's going right. 466 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 15: So I'll add to the list of the Biden smokescreen 467 00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:47,639 Speaker 15: that not only were jobs government funded or direct government jobs, 468 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:51,399 Speaker 15: A lot of the GDP growth was either transfer payments 469 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,040 Speaker 15: from the government or government spending, So it wasn't true 470 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:58,800 Speaker 15: private GDP growth. It wasn't true consumption and net exports 471 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 15: forget as far as a positive input, which they are 472 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:03,680 Speaker 15: now as we decrease our trade deficit. 473 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:05,879 Speaker 14: Under President Trump. 474 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,479 Speaker 15: I think what we see as positives right now is 475 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 15: we continue to see a privatization of the economy. We 476 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:15,119 Speaker 15: continue to see the opportunity for Native born Americans to 477 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 15: get work, and we see a real push to get 478 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:19,400 Speaker 15: and then I'm going to go off a little bit, 479 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 15: but we see it continued push to get rates lower. 480 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 15: Now that's a bit of a struggle. I think as 481 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:27,639 Speaker 15: the new Fed chair comes in wash he will not 482 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,400 Speaker 15: only cut rates, which is really not the most important 483 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,840 Speaker 15: thing he can do, in my opinion, but he can draw. 484 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:34,200 Speaker 14: Liquidity out of the system. 485 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,719 Speaker 15: That may not be what the markets want, but that 486 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 15: will help rates come down and help make life a 487 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 15: little more affordable for the US citizens. So we're moving 488 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,200 Speaker 15: in the right direction across the board. And don't forget 489 00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 15: the inflationary question. Why do we have inflation? Well, we 490 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 15: have inflation because of the massive government debt and spending that. 491 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,479 Speaker 14: We produce in the United States. 492 00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 15: I mean, we have thirty nine trillion dollars in debt 493 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,360 Speaker 15: that in and of itself is the root cause of inflation. 494 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:04,360 Speaker 14: You have price shocks, you have you. 495 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 15: Know, different variations and fluctuations in pricing, but overall inflation 496 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 15: has been what it is, I mean, spiked up to 497 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:16,200 Speaker 15: twelve percent under President Biden because of debt and deficit spending. 498 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 14: If we look at. 499 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,240 Speaker 15: The war and Iran and how this kind of moves 500 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 15: how we move out right the markets right now and 501 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 15: everyday Americans at the kitchen table are worried about in 502 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 15: market terms, whether these are price shocks that are going 503 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,919 Speaker 15: to settle back down or whether the damage is a 504 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,920 Speaker 15: structural damage, meaning this is going to take quarters upon 505 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 15: years to recover and get things back to normal. So 506 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,879 Speaker 15: right now we have oil crude oil at you know, 507 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,879 Speaker 15: one hundred, we're in the nineties, now ninety two. A 508 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:51,640 Speaker 15: barrow for front month WTI CREWD that was down at sixty, 509 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 15: that was as high as one twenty. Where does that 510 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 15: how does that flow through to the pump, and how 511 00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:57,880 Speaker 15: sticky is that? 512 00:27:58,040 --> 00:27:58,200 Speaker 16: Right? 513 00:27:58,280 --> 00:27:59,280 Speaker 14: What are the prices? 514 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,640 Speaker 15: Do are are increased and where are we seeing inflation 515 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:04,880 Speaker 15: or economic pressures. 516 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,080 Speaker 14: To the upside because of the war. Is it food? 517 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 15: Is it fertilizes? Is its semiconductor chips? Is it all 518 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:13,320 Speaker 15: of these things are kind of working through. Is this 519 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 15: a structural change because of the war and how long 520 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 15: it will last and what the damage has been or 521 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 15: are these short term price shocks that will kind of 522 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,199 Speaker 15: fade and we'll get back to normal. I think we 523 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 15: probably will land somewhere in the middle It depends on 524 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 15: how long we're there. And already we've seen structural damage, 525 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,840 Speaker 15: facility damage in the Middle East that's going to take months, 526 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 15: quarters years to fix. What I do know is that 527 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,120 Speaker 15: we as a nation have been positioned in a very 528 00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:42,960 Speaker 15: We're in a position of strength right now, not only 529 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 15: because we are energy independent, but because the economy was 530 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,720 Speaker 15: on the upswing. So I think we will weather the 531 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 15: storm fairly well. But there is a question of how 532 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 15: much damage is being done and how long will it 533 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 15: take for that damage to reset. 534 00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:58,480 Speaker 2: Anthony Esposito is our guest. 535 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 1: He is the CEO of Escalon six Capital and host 536 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:05,000 Speaker 1: of the podcast Policy and Profits. Let's talk about the 537 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,719 Speaker 1: financial markets a little bit. President Trump. Back in February, 538 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,320 Speaker 1: I guess it was February ninth, tenth, Somewhere in there 539 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:12,719 Speaker 1: we hit Dow fifty thousand. 540 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:13,760 Speaker 2: He was very proud of that. 541 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:17,400 Speaker 1: Since that time, the stock market has come down quite 542 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,400 Speaker 1: a bit. I think we're sitting at about forty six 543 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 1: thousand right now today. 544 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 2: So some of that is related to the war. 545 00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:27,440 Speaker 1: Some of it might have predated the war announcement just 546 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 1: a little bit. What's your financial market outlook for the 547 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:31,400 Speaker 1: rest of the year. I know you can't predict the 548 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 1: end of a military conflict, but do you expect the 549 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:38,080 Speaker 1: Dow to creep back towards fifty thousand? What about the 550 00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:40,080 Speaker 1: rest of the financial indices? 551 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,680 Speaker 15: So I probably will not have the main street view, 552 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:45,960 Speaker 15: but I'll give you our view here at ascalon six. 553 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,240 Speaker 14: We run a technical rule based strategy. 554 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 15: We had been calling for a sell off inequities back 555 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:54,800 Speaker 15: in December. So the war right now is just another headline. 556 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 15: It's not really It's in the mix, but it's not 557 00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 15: really the catalyst of all catalysts. We predicted back then, 558 00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:04,880 Speaker 15: based on our model and our work, that we were 559 00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,600 Speaker 15: hitting a spot where momentum and trend were breaking down 560 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,080 Speaker 15: in all three of the timelines that we look at 561 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,040 Speaker 15: for the s and P five hundred and the Russell 562 00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:14,720 Speaker 15: two thousand, which are our main equity products. 563 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:15,040 Speaker 12: Here. 564 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 15: I think as we moved through the process, we fully 565 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 15: expect the SMP to go down at a minimum ten 566 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 15: to fifteen percent. That would put the S ANDP the 567 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,280 Speaker 15: cash indecks at about sixty three hundred, coming down from. 568 00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:29,160 Speaker 14: About seven thousand. 569 00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:33,360 Speaker 15: So we see more downside to the markets here, and 570 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,440 Speaker 15: there's a ton of reasons why to roll through. As 571 00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 15: I said, momentum trend have broken down. We were at 572 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,800 Speaker 15: the end of a cycle in our opinion. Markets were 573 00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,400 Speaker 15: at all time highs. Valuations were at all time highs 574 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,560 Speaker 15: if you look at the cyclically adjusted. 575 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:47,400 Speaker 14: Price earnings ratios. 576 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 15: We had very very extended margin levels, we had very 577 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:55,080 Speaker 15: low cash levels, We had an over exuberance on the 578 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:58,440 Speaker 15: retail side, and we had an institutional base that was 579 00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:00,920 Speaker 15: actually pulling back and stepping away from the market. 580 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,520 Speaker 14: So a lot of things there to digest. 581 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:07,000 Speaker 15: The You know, oftentimes you have a spark, and as 582 00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:10,800 Speaker 15: I say, the headlines are interchangeable. The spark for this 583 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,320 Speaker 15: this breakdown below support in what I saw as a 584 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:17,400 Speaker 15: topping pattern for the S and P in particular was 585 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:19,280 Speaker 15: the war and I ran in the announcement, but we 586 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,400 Speaker 15: had been breaking down and testing that support for at 587 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,120 Speaker 15: least three to four weeks before that happened, so we 588 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:28,240 Speaker 15: see more downside to the markets. It's nothing that's any 589 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:30,720 Speaker 15: different than any other cycle, and it shouldn't be a 590 00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:34,000 Speaker 15: shock to anyone. I do see the Dow in particular, 591 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:37,680 Speaker 15: could potentially test thirty five thousand to forty thousand before 592 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,760 Speaker 15: we recover. I do as I said at a mum, 593 00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:42,720 Speaker 15: I see the S and P at sixty three hundred 594 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,760 Speaker 15: on the cash potentially down to six thousand, and then 595 00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:47,480 Speaker 15: see how it's acting at those levels. 596 00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 14: But I am. 597 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:52,400 Speaker 15: Relatively bearish on the market here, and we have been, 598 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:54,640 Speaker 15: you know, setting up for that since December. 599 00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:56,640 Speaker 14: So that's kind of our stance right now. 600 00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:58,600 Speaker 15: And then as we move through the war and again 601 00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 15: what structural damage is being done that's gonna kind of 602 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,880 Speaker 15: wake people up and create more and more supply. 603 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 1: Anthony Esposito, thanks for joining us.

Something incredible has happened. For the 647 00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:09,200 Speaker 1: first time in its history, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has 648 00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:14,960 Speaker 1: issued a construction permit for a private advanced nuclear reactor. 649 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:17,680 Speaker 1: Our guest is Andrew Follett.

Thanks for telling us 655 00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:32,600 Speaker 2: about it. 656 00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,520 Speaker 8: Well, this is an absolutely huge deal. This is an 657 00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 8: entirely new type of nuclear power with a lot of 658 00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:42,920 Speaker 8: inherent advantages, a lot of inherent safety advantages, much faster 659 00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:47,360 Speaker 8: to build, and just better all around. This is not 660 00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:51,799 Speaker 8: the first US advanced nuclear reactor. We had a very 661 00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,240 Speaker 8: active one in the nineteen nineties and it worked great. 662 00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 8: But Democrats of the day, including al Gore, Bill Clinton, 663 00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:06,040 Speaker 8: and John Kerry, absolutely terminated the program citing Alleg's cost concerns. 664 00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:09,640 Speaker 8: But before it was terminated, it actually worked really, really well, 665 00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:15,160 Speaker 8: and it worked so incredibly well that Clinton's science advisor said, yeah, 666 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,000 Speaker 8: I have to kill it, but it's a symbol. 667 00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,360 Speaker 2: It has to go. He didn't want to end it. 668 00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:20,000 Speaker 2: Nobody wanted. 669 00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:23,240 Speaker 8: It worked great, but they needed the problem as opposed 670 00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:24,000 Speaker 8: to the solution. 671 00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:28,560 Speaker 1: Okay, so explain to me something I've always been confused 672 00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:31,520 Speaker 1: about this. Democrats claim there for clean energy. Nuclear is 673 00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:35,120 Speaker 1: clean energy. Yet you do have Democrats, obviously from your 674 00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,319 Speaker 1: reporting and is as obvious in the United States and 675 00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:40,800 Speaker 1: frankly around the world, who are constantly trying to kill 676 00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:44,920 Speaker 1: nuclear power as a long term viable energy source for us. 677 00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:47,440 Speaker 1: Why is that? What is the disconnect? You say, you 678 00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:50,479 Speaker 1: want clean energy, but not this kind of clean energy. 679 00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:51,680 Speaker 1: It's never made any sense to me. 680 00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:57,279 Speaker 8: Well, they're locked into a nineteen seventies paradigm. There was 681 00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:00,399 Speaker 8: actually an old James Bond movie from nineteen seven four 682 00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:03,279 Speaker 8: in which solar power is the future. And you know, 683 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,839 Speaker 8: we're over fifty years in the past, fifty years past 684 00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:09,400 Speaker 8: that point, and it still isn't there. It's like two 685 00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:12,560 Speaker 8: or three percent of US electricity, not even US energy, 686 00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:17,640 Speaker 8: which is you know, stuff like gasoline. So they are 687 00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:22,560 Speaker 8: locked in this very obsolete framework, and it mostly has 688 00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:27,560 Speaker 8: to do with money. So they oppose these new innovative 689 00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:31,719 Speaker 8: types of reactors and everything new and innovative. They're addicted 690 00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:35,160 Speaker 8: to this medieval level like the sun and the wind, 691 00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:39,160 Speaker 8: our medieval level power. That's how people got energy in 692 00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:42,920 Speaker 8: the fourteenth century. It's not the new stuff. 693 00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:47,360 Speaker 1: So let me ask you a question about dare I 694 00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:51,880 Speaker 1: say government working properly? The Nuclear Regulatory Commission, it says, 695 00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:57,319 Speaker 1: completed their safety review eleven months ahead of schedule. Does 696 00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:01,080 Speaker 1: this surprise you that a government bureaucracy did something ahead 697 00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:02,120 Speaker 1: of when it was supposed to. 698 00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:06,920 Speaker 8: It was also under budget too, and that's for anyone 699 00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:10,359 Speaker 8: who knows anything about the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, that is astounding. 700 00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:15,600 Speaker 8: Historically they are absolutely awful at doing anything on time. 701 00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:20,480 Speaker 8: And this is an entirely new type of reactor and 702 00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:24,480 Speaker 8: they were trying to use the obsolete framework for the 703 00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:28,879 Speaker 8: old type of reactors, and it's something new. It's really 704 00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:31,799 Speaker 8: astounding just how much we've made nuclear energy great again. 705 00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:35,440 Speaker 2: All right, Andrew, I got twenty seconds. Final question. 706 00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:38,200 Speaker 1: A lot of people have concerns about these AI data 707 00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:40,200 Speaker 1: centers that we need to build and all the energy 708 00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:43,040 Speaker 1: they will take is nuclear. The answer to this, we 709 00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:45,080 Speaker 1: build some of these advanced nuclear reactors. 710 00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:46,080 Speaker 2: We solve our. 711 00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:49,400 Speaker 1: Issues when it comes to providing energy to AI data centers. 712 00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:51,560 Speaker 2: Absolutely. 713 00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:55,400 Speaker 8: Nuclear provides clean base load power of the type that 714 00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:59,959 Speaker 8: data centers and quite frankly everything needs. In contrast things 715 00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,200 Speaker 8: like solar and win you can't store the power, so 716 00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:03,200 Speaker 8: it's not that useful. 717 00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:07,160 Speaker 2: All right, that is Andrew Folet. 718 00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:09,800 Speaker 1: He has got an amazing piece in the National Review 719 00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:14,400 Speaker 1: about nuclear energy. We're actually gonna build an advanced nuclear 720 00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:18,359 Speaker 1: reactor in the United States for the first time, and 721 00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:22,239 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a good thing. And We've got a 722 00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:24,440 Speaker 1: lot of big things happening in our energy needs, and 723 00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:26,680 Speaker 1: this is part of the answer. Andrew, thanks for coming on. 724 00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:28,200 Speaker 1: We're going to take a break. We'll have more right 725 00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:30,400 Speaker 1: after this on the Scott Sheenning Show. It is Tuesday, 726 00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:33,520 Speaker 1: March twenty fourth, Common Sense for the American people. Here 727 00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:36,719 Speaker 1: our number two underway. Let's give you a quick check 728 00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:40,600 Speaker 1: of the headlines. In fact, it does sound like there 729 00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:43,360 Speaker 1: is some back and forth going on between the United 730 00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:47,359 Speaker 1: States and the Iranian government, or what's left of it now. 731 00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:52,279 Speaker 1: Even the Iranians are confirming it. CNN reporting that yes, yes, 732 00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:55,840 Speaker 1: President Trump was in fact telling the truth about negotiations 733 00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:59,160 Speaker 1: that are going on. He has paused bombing against energy 734 00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:02,640 Speaker 1: infrastructure in the in the Iranian country there for the 735 00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:06,040 Speaker 1: next five days, and the hopes that maybe we're going 736 00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:09,320 Speaker 1: to find a solution to this. We'll see what happens 737 00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:12,359 Speaker 1: over the next couple of days. But CNN confirming that 738 00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:16,600 Speaker 1: there is back and forth going on between the Iranians 739 00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:20,600 Speaker 1: and the Americans. There is some improvement today at many 740 00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:24,840 Speaker 1: American airports thanks to ICE being deployed to assist the 741 00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:29,680 Speaker 1: understaffed TSA agents who are coming to work Atlanta and 742 00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:33,320 Speaker 1: Philly and a few other places seem much better today. Houston, 743 00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:36,480 Speaker 1: it sounds like, remains a sore spot, but the ice 744 00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:39,319 Speaker 1: presence appears to have been a net positive and there 745 00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:43,600 Speaker 1: have been no negative incidents reported. It sounds like there 746 00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:47,120 Speaker 1: may be a deal forming up to get DHS funded 747 00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:50,200 Speaker 1: and to get the TSA agents paid, and to get 748 00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:53,360 Speaker 1: the airports back to normal. Hopefully joining me to discuss 749 00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:57,560 Speaker 1: this and more. Senator John Cornyn of the Great State 750 00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:00,799 Speaker 1: of Texas is here. Senator President Trump met with a 751 00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:03,359 Speaker 1: few of your colleagues last night at the White House. 752 00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:04,399 Speaker 2: Sounds like there is a. 753 00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:08,480 Speaker 1: Deal brewing that he will support to get DHS funded 754 00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:11,759 Speaker 1: first and then to get ICE funded and the Save 755 00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:16,120 Speaker 1: America Act passed and a reconciliation bill second. So it's 756 00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:19,160 Speaker 1: a two part plan. Sounds like it might work. What 757 00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:19,760 Speaker 1: are you hearing. 758 00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:21,040 Speaker 2: Give us your perspective. 759 00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:26,319 Speaker 4: Well, that's what I'm hearing too, Scott. And you know 760 00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:29,880 Speaker 4: the irony of all this is President Trump and Senate 761 00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:33,440 Speaker 4: Republicans were and House members were one step ahead of 762 00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:38,520 Speaker 4: Democrats because we actually pre funded ICE for many years, 763 00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:41,879 Speaker 4: several years at least in the in the one big 764 00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:45,280 Speaker 4: Beautiful Bill of working family tax cuts, and so nothing 765 00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:48,280 Speaker 4: they were doing in terms of holding the TSA agent's 766 00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:51,440 Speaker 4: hostage and the rest of DHS was going to change 767 00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:55,440 Speaker 4: one bit how ICE was performing its job, and so 768 00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:59,440 Speaker 4: this is all political theater and just a stunt. Unfortunately 769 00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:05,000 Speaker 4: created a lot of hardships for some patriotic TSA agents 770 00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:08,480 Speaker 4: and created a huge inconvenience for the American people. So 771 00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:11,080 Speaker 4: I think we're going to get to a good place. 772 00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:14,920 Speaker 4: And of course, the Save America Act is the President's 773 00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:18,000 Speaker 4: top priority. We're going to continue to work on that 774 00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:22,280 Speaker 4: while we worked toward potentially putting this in a reconciliation 775 00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:24,880 Speaker 4: bill that we can pass just with Republican votes. 776 00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:28,239 Speaker 1: You know, these ICE agents that went to the airports, 777 00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:31,000 Speaker 1: there were a number of Democrats in the House and 778 00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:34,719 Speaker 1: the Senate who went on television and said some extremely 779 00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:37,600 Speaker 1: irresponsible things like, oh, these ICE agents are going to 780 00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:39,880 Speaker 1: come in and start shooting people who are in line 781 00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:42,759 Speaker 1: and harassing passengers. We've been at this now for a 782 00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:46,960 Speaker 1: day and a half. We've seen no negative incidents between 783 00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:50,160 Speaker 1: ICE and people who are going through these airport lines. 784 00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:53,160 Speaker 1: Do you just have to sit back sometimes and marvel 785 00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:56,239 Speaker 1: at the willingness of your Democratic colleagues to go on 786 00:41:56,280 --> 00:42:00,840 Speaker 1: television with these unhinged rants, I mean, scare somebody to 787 00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:02,440 Speaker 1: death thinking they're going to go to the airport and 788 00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:04,200 Speaker 1: get shot. The reality is they might go to the 789 00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:06,839 Speaker 1: airport and have a much faster line than they would 790 00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:07,480 Speaker 1: have otherwise. 791 00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:12,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, you're probably more used to this and most people 792 00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:16,719 Speaker 4: having to deal with some of the liberal commentators on 793 00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:23,000 Speaker 4: network and broadcast media. But this is just completely irresponsible. 794 00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:26,160 Speaker 4: As you pointed out, none, nothing of the sort is 795 00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:29,879 Speaker 4: going to happen, nor did happen. Actually, it provided an 796 00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:33,080 Speaker 4: extra few sets of hands and feet to try to 797 00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:36,719 Speaker 4: expedite people's movement through the airport while the Democrats were 798 00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:40,720 Speaker 4: holding the rest of TSA and the American people flying 799 00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:46,319 Speaker 4: public hostage for this ill considered and shameful, shameful shut 800 00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:48,600 Speaker 4: down of the Department of Homeland Security. 801 00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:53,200 Speaker 1: Let's talk about the procedural issues here. So number one, 802 00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:57,160 Speaker 1: you'll get DHS funded except for ICE. But as you 803 00:42:57,239 --> 00:43:00,600 Speaker 1: pointed out, that's okay because the Republicans and the President 804 00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:02,880 Speaker 1: had the forethought last summer to go ahead and fund 805 00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:04,720 Speaker 1: ICE for the next several years. 806 00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:05,480 Speaker 2: So that's okay. 807 00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:08,520 Speaker 1: You get the TSA guys paid you get the Coast Guard, 808 00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:11,480 Speaker 1: you get FEMA, you get everything else moving again, and 809 00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:13,719 Speaker 1: then part two of the plan puts you in a 810 00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:17,439 Speaker 1: reconciliation process, which I think is interesting for the Save 811 00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:19,720 Speaker 1: America Act because right now you probably don't have sixty 812 00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:22,319 Speaker 1: votes to do Save America outside of that, but you 813 00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:25,400 Speaker 1: might have fifty one, which is all you need in reconciliation. 814 00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:29,080 Speaker 1: So my question is is this the outcome that Conservatives 815 00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:33,480 Speaker 1: should prefer? And is this going to be a problem 816 00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:36,279 Speaker 1: with the Senate Parliamentarian? You know that always in these 817 00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:38,120 Speaker 1: reconciliation bills, that's always an issue. 818 00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:39,160 Speaker 2: What's your perspective on that. 819 00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:44,040 Speaker 4: Well, we've got all the budget nerds working on this, 820 00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:47,680 Speaker 4: and they can become very creative in coming up with 821 00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:51,279 Speaker 4: solutions how to bypass the parliamentarian. As you know, the 822 00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:54,880 Speaker 4: budget is supposed to deal with just that, just money, 823 00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:58,640 Speaker 4: not policy. But there are various ways of various levers 824 00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:02,200 Speaker 4: and incentives and and centives we can put into the 825 00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:07,040 Speaker 4: budget that will help move this policy down the road 826 00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:09,560 Speaker 4: in a dramatic fashion. I think this will give us 827 00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:13,680 Speaker 4: essentially ninety five percent of what we were after in 828 00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:16,520 Speaker 4: the first place. But as you point out, without sixty votes, 829 00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:21,120 Speaker 4: and with the other issues that we're dealing with. I 830 00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:24,880 Speaker 4: think this is a pretty good outcome. 831 00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:28,640 Speaker 1: Let's talk about your colleague, or I guess I should 832 00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:31,400 Speaker 1: say your former colleague, Mark Waynemullen of Oklahoma. He was 833 00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:35,120 Speaker 1: confirmed last night to be the new Secretary the Department 834 00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:36,200 Speaker 1: of Homeland Security. 835 00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:38,120 Speaker 2: You've been serving with Senator Mullen. 836 00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:41,560 Speaker 1: Now Secretary Mullen, do you have confidence that he's going 837 00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:44,439 Speaker 1: to lead the Department of Homeland Security in a way 838 00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:47,000 Speaker 1: that we can all be proud? And we've got a 839 00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:51,440 Speaker 1: new senator coming in from Oklahoma announced by the governor 840 00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:53,080 Speaker 1: there this morning. I'm not sure if you know who 841 00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:55,640 Speaker 1: this person is, but interested in your comments on that. 842 00:44:57,640 --> 00:45:00,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, we're looking forward to swearing in the new senator 843 00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:03,520 Speaker 4: in just a short period of time. Here. The business 844 00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:06,480 Speaker 4: executive retired from business but wants to come in and 845 00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:09,400 Speaker 4: help us with permitting perform which is certainly one of 846 00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:12,000 Speaker 4: the most important issues that we have to deal with. 847 00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:18,319 Speaker 4: Mark Wayne Mullen is an Oklahoma classic. He's a unique individual. 848 00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:22,640 Speaker 4: Former MMA fighter, former plumber who built a business into 849 00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:25,440 Speaker 4: a multimillion dollar business. So obviously he knows how to 850 00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:30,120 Speaker 4: run a large organization. But the Department of Homeland Security 851 00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:32,600 Speaker 4: is going to be a challenge for whoever is in 852 00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:37,200 Speaker 4: that position. But perhaps the most important quality he has 853 00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:41,480 Speaker 4: is his close relationship with President Trump, and that's going 854 00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:44,640 Speaker 4: to be critical in dealing with all the challenges that 855 00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:47,600 Speaker 4: the department has and will have, particularly in light of 856 00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:51,480 Speaker 4: this the reflexive obstruction by the Democrats to anything and 857 00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:54,840 Speaker 4: everything the President wants to do to enforce our immigration laws. 858 00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:59,239 Speaker 1: Senator, you're involved at a runoff for the Senate in 859 00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:01,640 Speaker 1: Texas to run comes up in May. Your opponent is 860 00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:05,040 Speaker 1: Ken Paxton. The Democrat is a guy named Tallarico. We've 861 00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:06,839 Speaker 1: been playing a lot of his comments on the show 862 00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:10,000 Speaker 1: here and it dawns on me that the Democrats have 863 00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:16,080 Speaker 1: nominated someone who couldn't be less Texan and James tallerco 864 00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:18,880 Speaker 1: whether it comes up on the meat like I'm going 865 00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:21,240 Speaker 1: to get rid of all the meat to solve climate change? 866 00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:25,000 Speaker 1: We have six genders. God wanted Mary to get an abortion. 867 00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:29,080 Speaker 1: I mean, one thing after another. Are you stunned at 868 00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:31,560 Speaker 1: the direction of the Democratic Party in your home state 869 00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:35,320 Speaker 1: for nominating someone with views that can only be charitably 870 00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:38,920 Speaker 1: described as somewhat out of the mainstream. 871 00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:43,239 Speaker 4: Yeah, they're non Texan views, and I think you know 872 00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:47,080 Speaker 4: it's a reflection of where the Democratic Party is these days. 873 00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:51,160 Speaker 4: This is not your mothers or fathers or grandparents Democratic Party. 874 00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:55,440 Speaker 4: These are extreme people with the radical views. And Talla 875 00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:59,360 Speaker 4: Rico perfectly reflects that. My only concern is, Scott, that 876 00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:03,920 Speaker 4: if if we nominate somebody with the incredible baggage that 877 00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:07,799 Speaker 4: Ken Paxton has, that he will he may not win 878 00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:12,440 Speaker 4: the Republican nominee. If it's paston against this person, that 879 00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:16,759 Speaker 4: should be easily defeated. And also we need to worry 880 00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:20,000 Speaker 4: about the down ballot where the president's trump is depending 881 00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:22,000 Speaker 4: on the top of the ballot, which will be the 882 00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:26,080 Speaker 4: Senate race. Hopefully me that will help down ballot, particularly 883 00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:28,560 Speaker 4: the congressional seats, the five new seats that were just 884 00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:32,160 Speaker 4: recently redrawn that help keep the majority in the House. 885 00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:36,279 Speaker 1: Senator John Corn of Texas, thanks for joining us. Let's 886 00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:39,280 Speaker 1: hope this deal to get DHS and TSA moving comes 887 00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:42,040 Speaker 1: together and we will have you on very soon. 888 00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:43,200 Speaker 2: Appreciate your time today. 889 00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:45,560 Speaker 4: Thank you, Scott. 890 00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:48,520 Speaker 2: All right, a word from our friends at Relief Factor. 891 00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:54,160 Speaker 1: Now, I'm just the banker for months, and if you 892 00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:56,080 Speaker 1: have been listening to me, you know A that we 893 00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:56,680 Speaker 1: like it.

Here's Scott Jennings. 918 00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:15,160 Speaker 1: Yesterday was an interesting day at the US Supreme Court. 919 00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:19,160 Speaker 1: Oral arguments were held in a case that may alter 920 00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:22,759 Speaker 1: the way states are able to count mail in ballots 921 00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:27,239 Speaker 1: in the November election. Joining me to discuss this is 922 00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:31,279 Speaker 1: Sarah Iger, the editor of Scotus Blog, and she's a 923 00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:33,879 Speaker 1: legal analyst, one of the sharpest minds when it comes 924 00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:37,239 Speaker 1: to analyzing these cases and analyzing what these justices might 925 00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:41,279 Speaker 1: be doing. Sarah, making your inaugural appearance here on the 926 00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:44,279 Speaker 1: Scott Jenning Show. Tell first of all, thank you, and 927 00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:47,080 Speaker 1: second of all, tell us about the case, what went 928 00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:49,239 Speaker 1: on at the court, and what are the issues at 929 00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:49,719 Speaker 1: play here. 930 00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:55,439 Speaker 5: This is one of those COVID rule cases. We haven't 931 00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:57,480 Speaker 5: seen a ton of them recently at the Court. But 932 00:49:57,520 --> 00:50:00,320 Speaker 5: the question here is that the state of Mississippi change 933 00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:03,359 Speaker 5: their election code so that while your ballot has to 934 00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:07,000 Speaker 5: be postmarked by election day, it can be received by 935 00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:10,560 Speaker 5: election officials up to five days later. And the Republican 936 00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:13,120 Speaker 5: Party as well as some other folks, sued the state 937 00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:16,640 Speaker 5: of Mississippi to argue that that violates federal law that 938 00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:19,919 Speaker 5: in fact, the ballots have to be received by election day. 939 00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:23,720 Speaker 5: That's what election day means, because that's the term Congress 940 00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:24,799 Speaker 5: used in federal law. 941 00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:30,520 Speaker 1: Okay, so these are ballots that someone filled out, dropped 942 00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:34,680 Speaker 1: in a mailbox postmarked before election day somehow, you know, 943 00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:36,959 Speaker 1: maybe they dropped it in like the day before election day. 944 00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:40,480 Speaker 1: Then several days after the election, these ballots are still 945 00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:43,839 Speaker 1: coming in. Conservatives have raised questions about, you know, these 946 00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:47,480 Speaker 1: late arriving ballots for a long time. So as these 947 00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:51,120 Speaker 1: arguments were being made, what did you make of the arguments? 948 00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:53,120 Speaker 1: What did you make of the reaction from the justices? 949 00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:55,400 Speaker 1: Do you have any idea which way this may be headed? 950 00:50:56,960 --> 00:50:59,440 Speaker 5: Well, there were almost two different arguments going on at 951 00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:03,319 Speaker 5: the court. One was what did Congress intend in their 952 00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:06,160 Speaker 5: federal laws that they have passed. Did they give states 953 00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:09,840 Speaker 5: the ability to make this choice for themselves? Are states 954 00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:11,919 Speaker 5: able to say it has to be in by election day? 955 00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:14,719 Speaker 5: But other states can say, as long as it's postmarked 956 00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:17,040 Speaker 5: by election day, you could turn it in a few 957 00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:20,319 Speaker 5: days later. Is that what Congress meant in the statute 958 00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:23,359 Speaker 5: where they said there is an election day. But there 959 00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:26,520 Speaker 5: was also another conversation happening in these arguments, is this 960 00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:30,680 Speaker 5: a good idea? Does this allow for fraud? Does this 961 00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:34,680 Speaker 5: have any limiting you know, reagent really to it? Or 962 00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:37,279 Speaker 5: could a state say we accept ballots up till the 963 00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:40,840 Speaker 5: day that Congress is sworn in thirty days later, and 964 00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:43,680 Speaker 5: it doesn't have to be postmarked. Maybe you could just 965 00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:45,560 Speaker 5: hand it to your uncle and he could swear that 966 00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:47,920 Speaker 5: he got it before election day. And so there was 967 00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:52,000 Speaker 5: both sort of a policy debate happening and who gets 968 00:51:52,040 --> 00:51:54,640 Speaker 5: to decide? What did Congress say? Debate happening. 969 00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:57,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, the you know, in the Republican party and the 970 00:51:57,400 --> 00:51:59,680 Speaker 1: conservative end, there's always a lot of talk about whether 971 00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:03,680 Speaker 1: in ballots, you know, just sort of provide different venues, 972 00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:06,480 Speaker 1: different ways for there to be fraud or the possibility 973 00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:09,120 Speaker 1: of fraud. This is another one of those vectors. I 974 00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:10,840 Speaker 1: assume some of that was brought up in front of 975 00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:14,160 Speaker 1: the justices. Did you get a sense about where people 976 00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:17,200 Speaker 1: were leaning, with the conservative justices sort of lining up together, 977 00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:18,720 Speaker 1: with the liberals lining up together. 978 00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:21,439 Speaker 2: Is there anybody in the matrix here that might surprise. 979 00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:25,200 Speaker 5: Well, I tend to think of the court in a 980 00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:29,000 Speaker 5: three three three clump. So you have the three liberal 981 00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:32,720 Speaker 5: justices Sodamayor, Kagan and Jackson, and Yes, in this case, 982 00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:34,440 Speaker 5: they were sort of like, this is up to the 983 00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:36,360 Speaker 5: states if they want to experiment with this and have 984 00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:39,600 Speaker 5: ballots come in five days later. Congress allowed them to 985 00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:43,760 Speaker 5: do that. You then have the three justices Alito, Thomas, 986 00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:48,040 Speaker 5: and Gorsich. They tend to stick together and to well 987 00:52:48,080 --> 00:52:51,640 Speaker 5: in this case for instance, say no, this is you 988 00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:55,000 Speaker 5: know clearly something election day has a meaning, and it 989 00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:58,880 Speaker 5: means a single day there's no late arriving ballots. And 990 00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:00,640 Speaker 5: then you have the three justice is in the middle. 991 00:53:00,719 --> 00:53:02,960 Speaker 5: They are all likely to be in the majority more 992 00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:05,520 Speaker 5: than ninety percent of the time last term. This is 993 00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:08,360 Speaker 5: the Chief Justice Kavanaugh and Barretts. You really want to 994 00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:11,040 Speaker 5: look in on what they're asking in arguments like this. 995 00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:16,000 Speaker 5: They seemed quite skeptical of Mississippi's case that they could 996 00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:17,640 Speaker 5: receive ballots five days later. 997 00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:22,320 Speaker 1: Okay, so it sounds like it's possible that we could 998 00:53:22,360 --> 00:53:26,400 Speaker 1: see a ruling from the court here that would change rules. 999 00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:28,480 Speaker 1: I guess in a lot of states if that were 1000 00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:32,280 Speaker 1: to happen, would that go into effect before this November's 1001 00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:32,960 Speaker 1: midterm election. 1002 00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:36,880 Speaker 5: They talked about this at the argument, and yes, I 1003 00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:39,920 Speaker 5: think this would go into effect before November. But what 1004 00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:43,520 Speaker 5: the justices were sort of brushing off that concern because 1005 00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:46,359 Speaker 5: it doesn't really affect voters as long as you know 1006 00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:48,960 Speaker 5: what the deadline is. You simply need to get your 1007 00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:52,480 Speaker 5: mail ballot in four days ahead of the election instead 1008 00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:55,520 Speaker 5: of on election day. You know, there's another fascinating piece 1009 00:53:55,560 --> 00:53:58,440 Speaker 5: of this case. This is Mississippi, a deep red state, 1010 00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:02,640 Speaker 5: arguing for this against the Republican Party of Mississippi and 1011 00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:07,000 Speaker 5: the Solicitor General, Trump's Solicitor General of the United States. 1012 00:54:07,239 --> 00:54:10,919 Speaker 5: So this really was not a partisan argument in any 1013 00:54:10,960 --> 00:54:11,800 Speaker 5: traditional sense. 1014 00:54:13,080 --> 00:54:16,680 Speaker 1: All Right, that voice you're hearing Sarah iger Flores.

Scott Jennings is here on sale Aalem. Thanks 1035 00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:03,640 Speaker 1: for joining us today. Wanted to have a conversation with 1036 00:55:03,719 --> 00:55:06,879 Speaker 1: someone that I met for the first time the other night, 1037 00:55:07,440 --> 00:55:09,880 Speaker 1: and we had a great conversation at an event in 1038 00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:11,880 Speaker 1: New York City, and I thought, this is something that 1039 00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:14,840 Speaker 1: we honestly need to talk about on the air. 1040 00:55:15,440 --> 00:55:18,680 Speaker 2: It's about anti Semitism. It is on the rise. 1041 00:55:18,600 --> 00:55:22,960 Speaker 1: Across the globe. We see it filtering through our politics. 1042 00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:25,440 Speaker 1: We see it filtering through a lot of our media, 1043 00:55:25,520 --> 00:55:30,840 Speaker 1: filtering through a lot of our cultural institutions, our entertainment institutions, 1044 00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:34,680 Speaker 1: and we all have a responsibility, in my opinion, to 1045 00:55:34,760 --> 00:55:38,040 Speaker 1: stop it in its tracks. It is evil at Recks people, 1046 00:55:38,080 --> 00:55:42,080 Speaker 1: at REX families, at REX institutions, at REX societies. 1047 00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:43,719 Speaker 2: We've seen in. 1048 00:55:43,680 --> 00:55:48,600 Speaker 1: Our world history the terrible wages of anti Semitism. The 1049 00:55:48,600 --> 00:55:52,200 Speaker 1: Trump administration has a strategy and people to do something 1050 00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:55,600 Speaker 1: about this, and that is my conversation today. I'm bringing 1051 00:55:55,600 --> 00:56:00,160 Speaker 1: on Ambassador Rabbi Yehuda Kupalloon. He was confirmed by the 1052 00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:03,399 Speaker 1: United States Senate on December eighteenth of last year as 1053 00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:08,120 Speaker 1: the Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti Semitism, so 1054 00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:12,280 Speaker 1: this exists inside the Trump State Department. As Special Envoy, 1055 00:56:12,719 --> 00:56:15,759 Speaker 1: he serves as primary advisor to the United States on 1056 00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:21,520 Speaker 1: global anti Semitism issues. After October the seventh, Rabbi Kopluon 1057 00:56:21,680 --> 00:56:24,880 Speaker 1: met and assisted with numerous hostage families who were affected 1058 00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:27,840 Speaker 1: by that terrible attack, and he hosted the first memorial 1059 00:56:27,880 --> 00:56:31,359 Speaker 1: for the attack into Ralph, Florida, which was attended by 1060 00:56:31,440 --> 00:56:34,640 Speaker 1: President Trump. Ambassador Caplun, thank you so much for your 1061 00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:37,880 Speaker 1: time today. I know you have a busy schedule in Washington, 1062 00:56:37,960 --> 00:56:40,440 Speaker 1: DC today, but I was so happy that we ran 1063 00:56:40,480 --> 00:56:42,040 Speaker 1: into each other in New York the other night, and 1064 00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:43,440 Speaker 1: I'm grateful for your time on. 1065 00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:46,640 Speaker 2: This radio show because broadly. 1066 00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:49,640 Speaker 1: Speaking, I think you and I would both agree anti 1067 00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:52,280 Speaker 1: Semitism is rearing up in a lot of different venues. 1068 00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:55,320 Speaker 1: But President Trump is a friend of the Jewish people. 1069 00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:58,240 Speaker 1: And he's a friend of Israel, and he has people 1070 00:56:58,360 --> 00:57:01,839 Speaker 1: like you and strategies in play us to combat anti semitism. 1071 00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:04,880 Speaker 1: Tell us a little bit about that inside the Trump administration. 1072 00:57:06,239 --> 00:57:08,800 Speaker 16: Well, first of all, thank you very much for having me, Scott. 1073 00:57:09,160 --> 00:57:11,719 Speaker 16: I would venture to say that this president has made 1074 00:57:11,760 --> 00:57:15,080 Speaker 16: it very clear, as he has from day one of 1075 00:57:15,160 --> 00:57:18,760 Speaker 16: his administration, that anti Semitism is not going to be 1076 00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:23,560 Speaker 16: tolerated by his administration in any shape, way or form. 1077 00:57:24,160 --> 00:57:27,480 Speaker 16: And to do that, he's issued numerous executive orders, including 1078 00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:30,080 Speaker 16: one that says anti Semitism will not be tolerated, and 1079 00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:34,160 Speaker 16: directing every agency within the government to work to combat 1080 00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:38,919 Speaker 16: anti Semitism. And you can see certain results, even one 1081 00:57:38,920 --> 00:57:42,160 Speaker 16: that happened today because of the President's efforts in combating 1082 00:57:42,240 --> 00:57:46,720 Speaker 16: anti semitism globally, is that in meetings with Ambassador Bill 1083 00:57:46,760 --> 00:57:50,360 Speaker 16: White and myself a direction of the Secretary of State, 1084 00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:53,520 Speaker 16: you know, Marco Rubio, an incredible individual in his own right, 1085 00:57:54,040 --> 00:57:56,880 Speaker 16: and from the President, that we were in Belgium two 1086 00:57:56,920 --> 00:58:01,040 Speaker 16: weeks ago discussing an increase in security after the synagogue 1087 00:58:01,080 --> 00:58:04,280 Speaker 16: had been firebombed in the town in Belgium, and the 1088 00:58:04,320 --> 00:58:08,120 Speaker 16: Belgian government agreed to increase security by bringing the military 1089 00:58:08,240 --> 00:58:13,280 Speaker 16: to protect Jewish institutions. As a result of that action, today, 1090 00:58:13,320 --> 00:58:17,360 Speaker 16: when there was an attack on a Jewish institution and 1091 00:58:17,480 --> 00:58:22,080 Speaker 16: Jewish businesses, the military that had just stepped in literally 1092 00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:24,400 Speaker 16: three days ago was able to apprehend two of the 1093 00:58:24,400 --> 00:58:27,560 Speaker 16: three perpetrators and find out that they are linked to 1094 00:58:27,640 --> 00:58:31,280 Speaker 16: Iranian terror groups. So these are things that are a 1095 00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:35,960 Speaker 16: result of the President being actively involved in the Secretary 1096 00:58:35,960 --> 00:58:40,680 Speaker 16: of State being actively involved in holding governments accountable for 1097 00:58:40,800 --> 00:58:44,040 Speaker 16: how they are and what they're doing to combat anti Semitism. 1098 00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:50,120 Speaker 16: The commitment is as clear as day that this administration 1099 00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:53,880 Speaker 16: will not tolerate people who are anti Semitic. The President 1100 00:58:53,880 --> 00:58:56,200 Speaker 16: has made it clear that those people who issue anti 1101 00:58:56,240 --> 00:58:59,080 Speaker 16: Semitic rhetorics, they do not speak for him, They do 1102 00:58:59,160 --> 00:59:01,960 Speaker 16: not speak for his po larady. They don't speak for America. 1103 00:59:02,240 --> 00:59:04,560 Speaker 16: And we're better than that as a country. This country 1104 00:59:04,640 --> 00:59:08,640 Speaker 16: was founded on religious freedom, religious liberty, freedom of expression. 1105 00:59:08,680 --> 00:59:11,080 Speaker 16: You can say whatever you want to say, but you 1106 00:59:11,200 --> 00:59:13,600 Speaker 16: have the right and we have a right to worship 1107 00:59:13,640 --> 00:59:16,440 Speaker 16: freely and be required the government has to protect you 1108 00:59:17,000 --> 00:59:20,000 Speaker 16: to worship freely in this country. And that's something the 1109 00:59:20,040 --> 00:59:24,720 Speaker 16: President takes very seriously around the globe to hold countries accountable. 1110 00:59:26,040 --> 00:59:29,440 Speaker 1: You know, it strikes me that there's really two buckets 1111 00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:33,720 Speaker 1: where an administration can fight This one is rhetorically, and 1112 00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:37,840 Speaker 1: I think President Trump has made quite clear rhetorically he's 1113 00:59:37,880 --> 00:59:41,880 Speaker 1: not going to tolerate any anti semitism in his political movement, 1114 00:59:41,960 --> 00:59:44,680 Speaker 1: in the MAGA movement even I think, as you point out, 1115 00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:47,480 Speaker 1: there are people out there who are espousing these views, 1116 00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:50,640 Speaker 1: and they're trying to attach these views to the President 1117 00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:52,920 Speaker 1: or his party or his political movement, and he has 1118 00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:56,120 Speaker 1: flatly stopped them in their tracks. He has told them no. 1119 00:59:56,520 --> 00:59:59,160 Speaker 1: The other bucket, of course, is on the policy side. 1120 00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:04,160 Speaker 1: You're talking a little bit about that and prioritization of policies. 1121 01:00:04,520 --> 01:00:07,920 Speaker 1: I'm sort of interested in how those conversations go inside 1122 01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:08,520 Speaker 1: the government. 1123 01:00:08,640 --> 01:00:09,880 Speaker 2: You're at the State Department. 1124 01:00:10,240 --> 01:00:12,360 Speaker 1: You know, we've seen over at the Department of Justice 1125 01:00:12,840 --> 01:00:16,680 Speaker 1: under Attorney General Bondie and Assistant Attorney General Harmeitt Dillon, 1126 01:00:17,080 --> 01:00:21,040 Speaker 1: there's been a lot of movement there to stop anti 1127 01:00:21,040 --> 01:00:24,360 Speaker 1: Semitic hate crimes, people who commit violence on these grounds. 1128 01:00:24,400 --> 01:00:27,720 Speaker 1: And they've also taken on these college campuses where the 1129 01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:31,720 Speaker 1: administrators let anti semitism flourish and take hold on campuses. 1130 01:00:32,360 --> 01:00:36,000 Speaker 1: Talk to us a little bit about the meetings, the conversations, 1131 01:00:36,040 --> 01:00:40,200 Speaker 1: what goes on inside intra agency to not just have 1132 01:00:40,320 --> 01:00:42,960 Speaker 1: the rhetoric right, which I think it's dead right, but 1133 01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:45,960 Speaker 1: to also make sure the policies are being prioritized in 1134 01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:48,840 Speaker 1: a way that can be put into action out in 1135 01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:49,440 Speaker 1: the real world. 1136 01:00:50,840 --> 01:00:53,520 Speaker 16: Well, as you said before, you talk about it, that's 1137 01:00:53,560 --> 01:00:57,840 Speaker 16: an agency directed effort. It's an interagency as well. It's 1138 01:00:57,840 --> 01:01:01,160 Speaker 16: involves all facets of the government, whether it be Department 1139 01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:04,480 Speaker 16: of Justice working you know, with laws on campuses and 1140 01:01:04,520 --> 01:01:08,080 Speaker 16: how to protect people their civil rights, as well as 1141 01:01:08,120 --> 01:01:11,360 Speaker 16: on college campuses, to protect Jewish students and enforcing that 1142 01:01:11,440 --> 01:01:16,800 Speaker 16: these colleges have to be held accountable for what they're 1143 01:01:16,840 --> 01:01:20,480 Speaker 16: doing to not keep students safe. The Title you know, 1144 01:01:20,560 --> 01:01:24,640 Speaker 16: all those title cases that exist. Harmeet Dillon together with 1145 01:01:24,760 --> 01:01:28,880 Speaker 16: Attorney General Pambondi and the wonderful staff that's there. Those 1146 01:01:28,920 --> 01:01:32,160 Speaker 16: people are rock stars, they really are. They're using creative 1147 01:01:33,120 --> 01:01:37,920 Speaker 16: legal strategies that actually implement and protect not just the 1148 01:01:38,040 --> 01:01:44,160 Speaker 16: Jewish community but against hate. It's an entirety and it's 1149 01:01:44,200 --> 01:01:48,600 Speaker 16: a focus of the Department of Justice and the administration 1150 01:01:49,360 --> 01:01:52,840 Speaker 16: it's working, for example, together with Department of Justice, with 1151 01:01:52,920 --> 01:01:56,840 Speaker 16: the Department of State on student visas. That as the 1152 01:01:56,920 --> 01:02:00,640 Speaker 16: Secretary of State has said numerous times, being in this 1153 01:02:00,840 --> 01:02:04,440 Speaker 16: country it's a privilege. It's something that you get the 1154 01:02:04,560 --> 01:02:06,840 Speaker 16: right to on a visa. It is not a right. 1155 01:02:07,680 --> 01:02:10,360 Speaker 16: And as a result, if you're coming to this country 1156 01:02:10,400 --> 01:02:13,800 Speaker 16: instead of being to educate yourself, you're coming to this 1157 01:02:13,960 --> 01:02:18,440 Speaker 16: country to sow discord or to try and inflame the 1158 01:02:18,480 --> 01:02:21,880 Speaker 16: fires of hatred. You do not have a place here. 1159 01:02:21,920 --> 01:02:24,400 Speaker 16: You're not welcome here. The Secretary of State has made 1160 01:02:24,440 --> 01:02:28,560 Speaker 16: that perfectly clear, and he's used all the tools. DHS 1161 01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:31,760 Speaker 16: is involved, all of these groups are involved to make 1162 01:02:31,880 --> 01:02:35,120 Speaker 16: certain that people should be safe in this country and 1163 01:02:35,240 --> 01:02:38,640 Speaker 16: have the ability to worship freely and have the ability 1164 01:02:38,680 --> 01:02:43,400 Speaker 16: to be educated in a manner without hatred. And here's something, 1165 01:02:43,480 --> 01:02:48,200 Speaker 16: for example, where Treasury is involved, that foreign moneies that 1166 01:02:48,240 --> 01:02:52,040 Speaker 16: are coming into college campuses now have to disclose which 1167 01:02:52,080 --> 01:02:55,040 Speaker 16: governments are giving them that money, what shairs are being 1168 01:02:55,120 --> 01:02:58,919 Speaker 16: in dowbt, what it's being used for. These things did 1169 01:02:58,920 --> 01:03:02,760 Speaker 16: not exist and a year and a half ago, Jewish 1170 01:03:02,800 --> 01:03:07,320 Speaker 16: students were in absolute danger on college campuses, and from 1171 01:03:07,400 --> 01:03:10,400 Speaker 16: day one, the president has made it his mission to 1172 01:03:10,480 --> 01:03:13,960 Speaker 16: make certain that these students can walk across the campus 1173 01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:18,000 Speaker 16: and be safe and secure. And I would add one more, 1174 01:03:18,160 --> 01:03:23,919 Speaker 16: very very interesting point about that is that these universities 1175 01:03:23,960 --> 01:03:29,880 Speaker 16: have had ample opportunity to try and be part of 1176 01:03:30,440 --> 01:03:33,919 Speaker 16: working to combat hatred. And for those people that say 1177 01:03:33,960 --> 01:03:36,680 Speaker 16: it's a freedom of expression issue and it's not about 1178 01:03:36,760 --> 01:03:41,280 Speaker 16: anti Semitism, one of the definitions of the IRA's anti 1179 01:03:41,320 --> 01:03:47,840 Speaker 16: semitism documents is that you're okay to criticize Israel as 1180 01:03:47,840 --> 01:03:51,160 Speaker 16: long as you're consistent in criticizing other countries and other 1181 01:03:51,200 --> 01:03:54,240 Speaker 16: things as well. It can't be just about Israel. And 1182 01:03:54,360 --> 01:03:58,000 Speaker 16: what we're seeing from the college campuses, the fact that 1183 01:03:58,040 --> 01:04:04,400 Speaker 16: there aren't numerous pro test about civilians being killed in Iran, 1184 01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:08,880 Speaker 16: brutally murdered by a dictatorship, and yet you don't see 1185 01:04:08,920 --> 01:04:13,120 Speaker 16: those same people who are claiming human rights violations on 1186 01:04:13,200 --> 01:04:18,200 Speaker 16: college campuses protesting. It begs to ask the question, is 1187 01:04:18,280 --> 01:04:22,040 Speaker 16: this anti semitism or are these people truly caring about 1188 01:04:22,120 --> 01:04:23,040 Speaker 16: human rights? 1189 01:04:24,840 --> 01:04:27,080 Speaker 1: That voice you're hearing on the Scott Jennings Show today 1190 01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:32,040 Speaker 1: Ambassador Yehudah Kaploon. He was confirmed by the Senate in December. 1191 01:04:32,080 --> 01:04:37,040 Speaker 1: As President Trump's Special Envoy to monitor and combat anti Semitism. 1192 01:04:37,080 --> 01:04:39,760 Speaker 2: He speaks to us from Washington, d C. Today. 1193 01:04:39,800 --> 01:04:43,080 Speaker 1: We have about a minute left. Ambassador, I'm curious. You know, 1194 01:04:43,200 --> 01:04:46,240 Speaker 1: this is a diplomatic position. You're an ambassador. You report 1195 01:04:46,280 --> 01:04:49,320 Speaker 1: into the State Department. I'm kind of curious about what 1196 01:04:49,360 --> 01:04:51,919 Speaker 1: your day to day work is like. I know, things 1197 01:04:51,960 --> 01:04:53,760 Speaker 1: happen in the moment and you have to deal with it. 1198 01:04:54,040 --> 01:04:56,320 Speaker 1: How much are you in Washington? How much are you traveling? 1199 01:04:56,320 --> 01:04:59,840 Speaker 1: How much are you talking about these issues with your 1200 01:05:00,040 --> 01:05:02,960 Speaker 1: outer parts in other countries. Give us an idea of 1201 01:05:03,520 --> 01:05:06,040 Speaker 1: what someone in your position is doing on a day 1202 01:05:06,040 --> 01:05:09,040 Speaker 1: to day basis. I assume every day is a long one. 1203 01:05:09,600 --> 01:05:11,280 Speaker 16: I will tell you that. We'll just give you a 1204 01:05:11,280 --> 01:05:13,720 Speaker 16: little bit of what today has been like. At seven 1205 01:05:13,720 --> 01:05:15,920 Speaker 16: point thirty in the morning, we had a conference call 1206 01:05:15,960 --> 01:05:20,000 Speaker 16: with all the ambassadors special envoys globally to combat anti Semitism, 1207 01:05:20,040 --> 01:05:23,840 Speaker 16: to discuss the growing trends. We had conversations with different 1208 01:05:23,880 --> 01:05:27,360 Speaker 16: ambassadors and countries that have had anti Semitic attacks. After that, 1209 01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:30,560 Speaker 16: we met with a delegation of students from the UK. 1210 01:05:30,680 --> 01:05:36,880 Speaker 16: Today we've met with three ambassadors who have actively trying 1211 01:05:36,920 --> 01:05:40,680 Speaker 16: to educate their countries to use best practices that we 1212 01:05:40,800 --> 01:05:44,959 Speaker 16: have in our country to go against hate. And that's 1213 01:05:45,120 --> 01:05:47,880 Speaker 16: just where and then we're doing the radio show with 1214 01:05:48,040 --> 01:05:52,600 Speaker 16: you so your listeners can hear that we are actively busy. Afterwards, 1215 01:05:52,600 --> 01:05:55,760 Speaker 16: we have two more ambassadors coming into the State Department. Today, 1216 01:05:56,240 --> 01:05:58,760 Speaker 16: we have some dinner meetings with different two different dinner 1217 01:05:58,800 --> 01:06:01,280 Speaker 16: meetings with groups that are at actively working to combat 1218 01:06:01,320 --> 01:06:05,280 Speaker 16: anti Semitism. The days are full, but the difference is 1219 01:06:05,400 --> 01:06:08,880 Speaker 16: we can see actual results that we're working every day 1220 01:06:09,360 --> 01:06:13,240 Speaker 16: to make Americans safer globally, to make Jewish Americans feel 1221 01:06:13,280 --> 01:06:15,680 Speaker 16: free wherever they are that they're going to be protected 1222 01:06:15,680 --> 01:06:19,000 Speaker 16: by their government. And for example, even today, after the 1223 01:06:19,240 --> 01:06:24,040 Speaker 16: terrible attack and in England yesterday that four ambulances were 1224 01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:29,760 Speaker 16: burned by a group of radical youth, the English government today, 1225 01:06:29,880 --> 01:06:32,320 Speaker 16: at the request of you know, our ambassador and our 1226 01:06:32,360 --> 01:06:36,000 Speaker 16: team and our secretary, they're replacing them with four new 1227 01:06:36,040 --> 01:06:39,680 Speaker 16: ambulances to show that they're trying to be serious about 1228 01:06:39,680 --> 01:06:42,160 Speaker 16: combating hate. They have a long way to go to 1229 01:06:42,200 --> 01:06:45,000 Speaker 16: protect their citizens. The fact that these incidents can occur 1230 01:06:45,080 --> 01:06:49,160 Speaker 16: are problematic, but we're hopeful that people will be educated 1231 01:06:49,160 --> 01:06:51,480 Speaker 16: to be better humans and all of humanity will be 1232 01:06:51,520 --> 01:06:52,200 Speaker 16: better for it. 1233 01:06:53,560 --> 01:06:57,800 Speaker 1: My voice is Ambassador Rabbi Yehuda Kaplun. The office in 1234 01:06:57,840 --> 01:07:01,520 Speaker 1: the State Department is called Special Envoy to monitor and 1235 01:07:01,600 --> 01:07:04,919 Speaker 1: combat anti Semitism.

It is quite critical. Ambassador, thanks for joining us. 1239 01:07:16,760 --> 01:07:18,400 Speaker 1: We look forward to having you back. I do need 1240 01:07:18,440 --> 01:07:22,160 Speaker 1: to give our listeners a word from our friends at 1241 01:07:22,200 --> 01:07:25,240 Speaker 1: the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. As we've been 1242 01:07:25,240 --> 01:07:28,440 Speaker 1: discussing on the show over the last several weeks, Operation 1243 01:07:28,640 --> 01:07:33,200 Speaker 1: Epic Fury is causing trouble in Israel, especially for the 1244 01:07:33,280 --> 01:07:37,560 Speaker 1: most vulnerable. They are under constant red alert sirens. Missiles 1245 01:07:37,560 --> 01:07:39,640 Speaker 1: are falling and when you hear these sirens, you have 1246 01:07:39,720 --> 01:07:42,480 Speaker 1: just a few seconds to get into a bomb shelter. 1247 01:07:42,960 --> 01:07:46,560 Speaker 1: And so it's at times like these that charitable organizations 1248 01:07:46,640 --> 01:07:50,160 Speaker 1: like the Fellowship are most in need. They're preparing large 1249 01:07:50,200 --> 01:07:54,800 Speaker 1: scale distributions of life saving food, first aid, emergency essentials 1250 01:07:54,840 --> 01:07:58,280 Speaker 1: for security personnel. They help with hospitals and emergency rooms. 1251 01:07:58,720 --> 01:08:04,840 Speaker 1: They are there to protect and help the sick, the elderly, children, families. 1252 01:08:05,000 --> 01:08:08,720 Speaker 1: They all depend on the Fellowship at critical times like these. 1253 01:08:08,800 --> 01:08:11,400 Speaker 1: I'm encouraging you to join Christians and Jews around the 1254 01:08:11,400 --> 01:08:14,480 Speaker 1: world in praying for the protection of Israel, her people 1255 01:08:14,520 --> 01:08:17,120 Speaker 1: and the brave soldiers from the US and Israel who 1256 01:08:17,160 --> 01:08:19,120 Speaker 1: are putting their lives on the line for the fight 1257 01:08:19,160 --> 01:08:23,800 Speaker 1: for freedom.

It sounds like Senator now 1265 01:08:44,120 --> 01:08:47,720 Speaker 1: Secretary Mark Wayne Mullen has been sworn in, confirmed last night, 1266 01:08:47,760 --> 01:08:50,479 Speaker 1: sworn in today. He takes over at the Department of 1267 01:08:50,479 --> 01:08:55,320 Speaker 1: Homeland Security. A briefing from NTSB officials today is shedding 1268 01:08:55,400 --> 01:08:58,519 Speaker 1: some light on what happened at Leguardia Airport where the 1269 01:08:58,680 --> 01:09:01,519 Speaker 1: plane ran into the truck on the runway. 1270 01:09:02,040 --> 01:09:03,160 Speaker 2: Two pilots killed. 1271 01:09:03,200 --> 01:09:06,240 Speaker 1: I think over forty other people taken to the hospital 1272 01:09:06,280 --> 01:09:08,960 Speaker 1: with varying degrees of injuries. It sounds like an alert 1273 01:09:09,040 --> 01:09:12,320 Speaker 1: system that should have notified people on the tarmac to 1274 01:09:12,400 --> 01:09:16,120 Speaker 1: prevent something like this didn't work. We're still monitoring that, 1275 01:09:16,160 --> 01:09:17,800 Speaker 1: and I'm sure we'll talk about that on the air 1276 01:09:17,880 --> 01:09:21,400 Speaker 1: a little bit tomorrow. So a couple of issues out 1277 01:09:21,439 --> 01:09:24,360 Speaker 1: there that we're following and will follow up on in 1278 01:09:24,400 --> 01:09:26,760 Speaker 1: the days ahead. There's one other story I wanted to 1279 01:09:26,760 --> 01:09:28,880 Speaker 1: bring to you today, a breaking news story that should 1280 01:09:28,880 --> 01:09:34,200 Speaker 1: get every American's attention. Dennis Coyle, an American citizen who 1281 01:09:34,320 --> 01:09:39,400 Speaker 1: was wrongly detained by the Taliban, has been released. Prior 1282 01:09:39,400 --> 01:09:44,000 Speaker 1: to his capture, Dennis spent two decades in Afghanistan studying 1283 01:09:44,120 --> 01:09:47,879 Speaker 1: language and culture. He was really deeply connected to the region. 1284 01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:51,040 Speaker 1: He was not a tourist, he certainly wasn't a troublemaker, 1285 01:09:51,439 --> 01:09:54,400 Speaker 1: and yet in January of twenty twenty five, he was 1286 01:09:54,439 --> 01:09:57,200 Speaker 1: taken from his home in Cobble and held by the 1287 01:09:57,240 --> 01:10:00,479 Speaker 1: Taliban without charges. He did not get a try, he 1288 01:10:00,560 --> 01:10:04,439 Speaker 1: got no due process. He just disappeared and for over 1289 01:10:04,479 --> 01:10:08,080 Speaker 1: a year he sat in detention, much of it reportedly 1290 01:10:08,320 --> 01:10:12,800 Speaker 1: in near solitary confinement, and his family back home. They 1291 01:10:12,840 --> 01:10:15,599 Speaker 1: were waiting, they were praying, they were pushing for action, 1292 01:10:16,439 --> 01:10:18,720 Speaker 1: and today their prayers are answered. We're being told that 1293 01:10:18,760 --> 01:10:22,320 Speaker 1: mister Coyle has been released. The Taliban claims it is 1294 01:10:22,360 --> 01:10:26,680 Speaker 1: a humanitarian gesture tied to a religious holiday and a 1295 01:10:26,720 --> 01:10:30,000 Speaker 1: court review. But let's not kid ourselves. This didn't happen 1296 01:10:30,040 --> 01:10:33,680 Speaker 1: in a vacuum. The United States, the Trump administration and 1297 01:10:33,720 --> 01:10:38,519 Speaker 1: Secretary of State Rubio took a very strong stance on this, 1298 01:10:39,040 --> 01:10:42,800 Speaker 1: officially labeling the Taliban government as a state sponsor of 1299 01:10:42,840 --> 01:10:46,400 Speaker 1: wrongful detention. They made it clear there would be consequences 1300 01:10:46,439 --> 01:10:49,200 Speaker 1: if Americans were continued to be held. 1301 01:10:49,479 --> 01:10:52,280 Speaker 2: Secretary of Rubio got involved. That's the key point here. 1302 01:10:52,320 --> 01:10:56,559 Speaker 1: This is a huge victory for Secretary of Rubio in 1303 01:10:56,600 --> 01:11:01,919 Speaker 1: his diplomatic efforts, and it shows something that's true strength matters. 1304 01:11:02,560 --> 01:11:06,200 Speaker 1: And for too long, hostile regimes like the Taliban have 1305 01:11:06,320 --> 01:11:09,519 Speaker 1: operated under the assumption that detaining Americans would give them 1306 01:11:09,520 --> 01:11:12,679 Speaker 1: some kind of leverage, that they could use innocent people 1307 01:11:12,960 --> 01:11:14,160 Speaker 1: as bargaining chips. 1308 01:11:14,680 --> 01:11:15,719 Speaker 2: Those days are over. 1309 01:11:16,560 --> 01:11:21,080 Speaker 1: This administration, the Trump administration, with Secretary Rubio in charge 1310 01:11:21,120 --> 01:11:25,720 Speaker 1: of State, they have said we will not tolerate hostage diplomacy. 1311 01:11:26,280 --> 01:11:28,760 Speaker 1: And now they're backing it up with action. That's what 1312 01:11:28,800 --> 01:11:32,320 Speaker 1: we're seeing here getting mister Coyle released by the Taliban. 1313 01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:36,000 Speaker 1: The only thing that changes this sort of despicable behavior, 1314 01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:39,640 Speaker 1: in my opinion, is real pressure and real strength. And 1315 01:11:39,680 --> 01:11:43,840 Speaker 1: that's what you got out of the Trump administration. This 1316 01:11:44,000 --> 01:11:45,760 Speaker 1: is the kind of pressure, the kind of action that 1317 01:11:45,840 --> 01:11:49,160 Speaker 1: makes it clear there's a cost for bad behavior, and 1318 01:11:49,200 --> 01:11:53,280 Speaker 1: that consequences for bad actors results in good news. 1319 01:11:53,200 --> 01:11:54,479 Speaker 2: For the American people. 1320 01:11:54,479 --> 01:11:58,920 Speaker 1: The Trump administration has prioritized bringing home American citizens being 1321 01:11:58,920 --> 01:11:59,760 Speaker 1: held hostage. 1322 01:12:00,240 --> 01:12:01,439 Speaker 2: That is the story today. 1323 01:12:01,560 --> 01:12:05,479 Speaker 1: Dennis Coyle is going home, his family gets him back, 1324 01:12:05,920 --> 01:12:09,160 Speaker 1: and it is truly a wonderful day. Oh I should 1325 01:12:09,280 --> 01:12:12,760 Speaker 1: add the story isn't over. He's not the only American 1326 01:12:12,840 --> 01:12:16,800 Speaker 1: who is being wrongfully held. There are others who are 1327 01:12:16,840 --> 01:12:20,640 Speaker 1: still detained or missing in Afghanistan. It's part of a 1328 01:12:20,680 --> 01:12:24,519 Speaker 1: broader pattern around the world Americans being wrongfully detained by 1329 01:12:24,560 --> 01:12:28,720 Speaker 1: hostile regimes. They're all looking for leverage. But when the 1330 01:12:28,800 --> 01:12:31,880 Speaker 1: United States projects strength, when it draws clear lines and 1331 01:12:31,920 --> 01:12:35,280 Speaker 1: backs them up, we will get results. Safety and peace 1332 01:12:35,360 --> 01:12:40,040 Speaker 1: for Americans doesn't come from hoping for goodwill. It comes 1333 01:12:40,120 --> 01:12:46,280 Speaker 1: from strength, clear consistent and unmistakable strength. That's what we're projecting. 1334 01:12:46,360 --> 01:12:49,559 Speaker 1: So we have one American, Dennis Coyle, coming home today, 1335 01:12:50,280 --> 01:12:53,519 Speaker 1: and now the job continues to make sure that every 1336 01:12:53,680 --> 01:12:58,960 Speaker 1: American in similar circumstances also comes home.
