Speaker 2: United States Capital this morning because my oldest son, Everett,

25
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 2: graduated from the US Senate Page program today. He's been

27
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,280

Speaker 2: over there at the Capitol with his class as they

29
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,280

32
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 2: had the longest shutdown in government history, and saw all

33
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 2: kinds of things on the Senate floor. But you see

34
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,000

35
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,520

Speaker 5: To your son.

55
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 4: Ever, I had the chances of meeting a couple of

56
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 4: weeks ago when you were in town. You could tell

57
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 4: fine young man, and that is a great program. Our

58
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 4: daughter way back when our oldest daughter was in the

59
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,679
Speaker 4: House Page program, and that she was just in the

60
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,520

61
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,119
Speaker 4: Congrats to your fine son.

62
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's really good.

63
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 2: He's a smartt needs a haircut, but other than that,

64
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 2: no real complaints from his dad here.

65
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 3: Congressman, thanks for joining us.

66
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 2: I want to start with playing a clip from the

67
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 2: US House yesterday. You conducted a hearing in the Judiciary

68
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 2: Committee with Jack Smith, the special counsel who was going

69
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 2: after Donald Trump. Let's play cut thirteen and here, Congressman

70
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:33,119
Speaker 2: Jordan and Jack Smith, we've.

71
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 6: Gathered at thirty five million dollars. And what I want

72
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 6: to know is how much of that thirty five million

73
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 6: dollars of taxpayer money did you just give to confidential

74
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 6: human sources. We know you gave twenty thousand to someone

75
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 6: and just got reported last week. How much more money

76
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 6: did you pay confidential people people we don't know about

77
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 6: with American tax money going after the guy we like

78
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 6: the president.

79
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 7: Collection regards the twenty thousand dollars, which was not a

80
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 7: payment from me, it was me approving a payment by

81
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 7: the FBI to a confidential human source who was reviewing

82
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 7: video and photographic source. I do not know the identity

83
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:21,359
Speaker 7: of the source.

84
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 6: How many other payments went to this source or other sources?

85
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 7: As I said here, I do not know the answer

86
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 7: to that question.

87
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 2: Congressman Jordan jack Smith didn't have a lot of answers yesterday,

88
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,359
Speaker 2: and some of the answers he gave were less than satisfactory.

89
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 2: What's your reaction to everything you learned? Yesterday, if you've

90
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 2: had a data process it.

91
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:43,359
Speaker 6: Yeah.

92
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 4: I mean in the big picture, Jack Smith's was no

93
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 4: different than Jim Comey, Alvin Bragg, Fannie Willis. It was

94
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 4: all about this lawfare, weaponization out to go get President Trump,

95
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 4: and that I think was clear on the specific issue

96
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 4: of confidence in human source. I think it's also important

97
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 4: to step back and think, did Bob Muller approved payments

98
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 4: to confidential human sources when he was a special counsel?

99
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 4: Did Robert Hurr? Did John Durham? I don't know if

100
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 4: any of the special councils we've ever dealt with where

101
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 4: they were paying people in seek were paying for information

102
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 4: that if this individual was doing his service or something

103
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 4: for the committee party, then just contract with them. Why

104
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 4: do you have to do something in secret? And how

105
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 4: much money? In fact, do you know how much money

106
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 4: they spent on this stuff? I think when you spend

107
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 4: thirty five million dollars going after the president, I think

108
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 4: that was an issue as well. But yeah, this this

109
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 4: whole thing was political. I said that from percentage I

110
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 4: think was it was all about politics. It was always

111
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 4: about politics and getting President Trump and the run up

112
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 4: to the presidential election, I heard a.

113
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 3: Lot of things.

114
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:47,479
Speaker 2: I heard a lot of things in the hearing that

115
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 2: at a minimum were head scratchers, and at a maximum

116
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 2: really just were shocking. One of them was that he

117
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,239
Speaker 2: Jack Smith, at one point had labeled the former Speaker

118
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 2: of the House, Kevin McCarthy, a flight risk.

119
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 3: Is that power run a month? What in the world

120
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 3: was that all about?

121
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, and the whole back pattern there is kind of scary,

122
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 4: because heaven becomes speaker I think is a January seventh,

123
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 4: twenty twenty three. Sixteen days later, Jack smiths apena is

124
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 4: his phone records for a two month time period from

125
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,919
Speaker 4: two years prior, and he wants to know and he

126
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 4: can know who Kevin called, who called him, when the

127
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 4: call took place, how long it lasted, And he's getting

128
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 4: all that information on the top Republican in our government,

129
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 4: the guy second in line to the president. I mean,

130
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 4: that's scary. And then to add ins all to injury,

131
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 4: he goes and gets the gag over. He says to

132
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 4: the court, Hey, don't let the carrier at and T

133
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,720
Speaker 4: know that we've just got hit their customer, the Speaker

134
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 4: of the House. We just got his phone laws. We

135
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,599
Speaker 4: can pattern his life. We know who he talks to

136
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 4: before books, who he talks to after votes, when he

137
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,479
Speaker 4: calls his family, when he calls colleague. You can figure

138
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 4: all that out, where he's at, when he's making he's calls.

139
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 4: All that information they have on the top Republican in

140
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 4: the government, and they tell the court the reason that

141
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 4: we need the gag order on the carrier is because

142
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 4: he's a flight risk or he might tamper with witnesses

143
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 4: or evidence. And I'm just laughing. He's the Speaker of

144
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 4: the United States House, a representative.

145
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 3: Unbelievable.

146
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 4: This is how crazy they were. But this was all

147
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 4: part of their effort. They would go to any length

148
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 4: to get the president, including doing that to the Speaker

149
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 4: of the House.

150
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 2: And it seemed like Jack Smith was anxious to get

151
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 2: the president to trial before the twenty twenty four election.

152
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 2: I saw a CNN legal analyst, Ellie Honig, saying there

153
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 2: was no way that Jack Smith was preparing in no

154
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 2: way a defense attorney could prepare for a trial like

155
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 2: that given the volume of documents. Was Jack Smith rushing

156
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 2: to put the president in court to try to keep

157
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 2: him from running, keep him off the ballot in twenty

158
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 2: twenty four.

159
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 4: Exactly definitely was thirteen million paid ages. And he says,

160
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 4: he files the indictment and then says to the defendant

161
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 4: in this case, President Trump to we'd like to be

162
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 4: in trial in four and a half months. Are you kidding?

163
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 4: There's no way you can properly. And then he tried

164
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 4: to go to the Constitution to fix amendment our right

165
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 4: as citizens of this great country, the greatest country ever,

166
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 4: our right to a speedy trial. And he tried to assert, well,

167
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 4: they have a right to the speedy trial is for

168
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 4: the defendant. It's for the accused. That isn't for the government,

169
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 4: for goodness sake. So this idea that the president was

170
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 4: going to have to prepare his defense in four and

171
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 4: a half months, But it was driven by politics. They

172
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 4: were getting close to the election. They wanted to get

173
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 4: to trial, get President Trump tied up in court, or

174
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,959
Speaker 4: at a minimum, get all the information out there now

175
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 4: I think was political in nature relative to the case,

176
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 4: so that could impact the campaign. All that again driven

177
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:55,079
Speaker 4: by the political motivation that they had. I mean, the

178
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:59,079
Speaker 4: one thing I focused on Scott was Jack Smith said

179
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 4: no one could affirm what the Democrats star witness. In

180
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 4: the January sixth Committee Cassie Hudsbros. No one could confirm

181
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 4: what she said, but Jack Smith was still contemplating putting

182
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 4: her on the witness stand at trial. That is how

183
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 4: ridiculous this all was and how determined they were to

184
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 4: try to figure out some way to be the president.

185
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 2: That voice you're hearing Congressman Jim Jordan of Ohio, he

186
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 2: conducted a big hearing in judiciary yesterday in the House

187
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 2: with Jack Smith. We're going to talk more about that

188
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:32,439
Speaker 2: when we come back. And also I want to get

189
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:36,559
Speaker 2: Congressman Jordan's thoughts on what's going on the ongoing scandals

190
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 2: and situation in Minneapolis, Minnesota. First, a quick word from

191
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 2: our new friends at Patriot Mobile. If you want to

192
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 2: have a mobile company, a wireless company that you can

193
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 2: believe in, that believes in the same things that you

194
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 2: do as a conservative, you've only got one choice.

195
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 3: Patriot Mobile.

196
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 2: They're not just a wireless provider, they're an activist organization.

197
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 2: Switching is easier than ever. You can activate new service

198
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 2: and minutes, keep your number, keep your phone, upgrade your vhone.

199
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 3: I don't care.

200
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 2: I just want you to get to Patriot Mobile. Patriotmobile

201
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 2: dot com, slash Scott or call nine to seven to two.

202
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 2: Patriot used promo code Scott, They'll give you a free

203
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 2: month more with Congressman Jim Jordan when we come back.

204
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 2: It's common sense for the American people. Scott Jennings is

205
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 2: here on Salem. Stay with us, back with more conversation

206
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 2: with Congressman Jim Jordan and this hearing with Jack Smith

207
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 2: up on Capitol Hill yesterday.

208
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 3: Congressman Jordan.

209
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 2: One of the spectacles of the hearing was this former

210
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 2: Capitol Police officer, Michael Fanone. He was one of the

211
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 2: officers from January sixth who's become a political activist, and

212
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 2: a rather profane one at that. He turned out to

213
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 2: be a major nuisance during the hearing. I'm going to

214
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 2: play a clip here. This is cut eight guys Michael

215
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 2: Fanone yelling, yelling during the Jack Smith hearing yesterday.

216
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,559
Speaker 8: Slee, I would like to quickly address the police officers

217
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 8: of January sixth, mister Don, mister Fanone, mister Gonow.

218
00:10:58,200 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 9: Mister Hodges.

219
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 8: I'm a member of the new Select Committee to actually examine,

220
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:08,439
Speaker 8: actually examine what happened that day, and I can tell you, gentlemen,

221
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:13,079
Speaker 8: that default does not lie with Donald Trump. It lies

222
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 8: with Yogananda Pittman and the US Capital Leadership Team. We know,

223
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 8: we know that had the intelligence and there was going

224
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:27,319
Speaker 8: to be a high propensity for violets that day, claim

225
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 8: my time.

226
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, so what you heard there, Congressman Jordan was Michael

227
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 2: Fanone yelling profanity is at one of your members on

228
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 2: the committee here. We had to bleep it out because

229
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 2: we're on terrestrial radio. And then there was a big

230
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 2: altercation after all this happened. What'd you make of the

231
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:45,359
Speaker 2: fine engagement with the committee.

232
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just unfortunate that kind of garbage takes place.

233
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 4: And you know, whether he got into with some other

234
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 4: member in the audience during a break, and then of

235
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 4: course he does that response to Congressman Neil. By the way,

236
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 4: Congressman Neil is the former sheriff a thing or two

237
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 4: about law enforcement. He is on the on the the

238
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,679
Speaker 4: Select Committee now, and he was just making making a

239
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 4: pointment as all I let all members, whether the Republican Democrat,

240
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 4: they get to make their point. Congress m Nels is

241
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 4: a darn good member who was who was doing just that,

242
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 4: and then to get this reaction from someone in the

243
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 4: audience doesn't make sense. Maybe they don't want to know

244
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 4: about the facts. But there were things I think that

245
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 4: should have been done by Frankly the Speaker, then Speaker

246
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 4: of the House, Speaker Pelosi, that weren't done that that

247
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 4: that could have helped. I think with that that that

248
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 4: whole day.

249
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 2: Let me shift gears to Minnesota. Obviously a lot of

250
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 2: news every day now about the immigration situation there. We

251
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 2: know Governor Walls and Mayor Frye in Minneapolis won't cooperate

252
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 2: with immigration. This is all sort of overshadowed something you're

253
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 2: looking into, which is the Somali fraud scandal that was

254
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 2: exploding before the I story hit. What's going on with

255
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 2: the Somali fraud investigation? You've had one key hearing. What

256
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:58,199
Speaker 2: do we expect next on that front?

257
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 4: Well, we just keep digging and understand that the justice

258
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 4: departments up there, they've already I think it dited like

259
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 4: fifty some sixty some people. Some people have already been convicted,

260
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 4: like the folks who ran this Feeding Our Future program

261
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 4: where they were supposed to be taking taxpayer dollars and

262
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 4: actually given meals to children. They found out there were

263
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 4: no kids and there were no meals. They were just

264
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 4: stuffing the money in their pocket. And it looks like

265
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 4: that the government officials in the state government, the attorney general,

266
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 4: the governor, and others weren't just like kind of looking

267
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 4: the other way, but actually almost sisting with this. When

268
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 4: you look at particularly the attorney general, he had meetings

269
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 4: with the leaders of this group.

270
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 5: A few weeks after the.

271
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 4: Meetings, they're getting his campaigns, getting campaign contributions. So yeah,

272
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 4: we're digging into all this. And I appreciate the fact

273
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,719
Speaker 4: that the Justice Department Federal Justice Department here and has

274
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 4: named a specific person designated them as the person to

275
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 4: examine fraud both what's going on in Minnesota but around

276
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 4: the country. Is this kind of these kind of games

277
00:13:58,840 --> 00:13:59,839
Speaker 4: being played elsewhere?

278
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 2: One last question we have about thirty seconds. Are you

279
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 2: troubled by these reports that you have these left wing

280
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:11,319
Speaker 2: nonprofits and activist groups funding training for these political vigilantes

281
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 2: to go and confront ice agents. Are we going to

282
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 2: see an investigation of where the money is coming from

283
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 2: to fund all this radicalism in Minneapolis.

284
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're looking at all this. You think about what

285
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 4: happened aft Funday. You got five amendments under five rights

286
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 4: under the First Amendment, and the first one, the very

287
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 4: first one, is your right to practice your faith, your

288
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 4: freedom of religion. And yet they were in there, these

289
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 4: activists were disrupting that. And what they're doing to ice agents,

290
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 4: I mean they're getting docks, they're getting tracked to getting

291
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 4: spit on, they're getting attacked and harassed while they're trying

292
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 4: to enforce the law. One guy got hit with shovels

293
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 4: and broomsticks for goodness sake. So yeah, I think it's

294
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 4: important to look at who's providing the resources and who's

295
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 4: doing the training for these left wing activists, and that's

296
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 4: being kind using that term.

297
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 3: That voice you're hearing today.

298
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 2: Congressman Jim Jordan, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, had

299
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 2: a big hearing with Jack Smith yesterday looking into the

300
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 2: Somali fraud in Minneapolis and generally doing good work on

301
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,119
Speaker 2: behalf of the people of Ohio and the American taxpayer.

302
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 2: Thank you, Congressman for coming by. We'll take a break

303
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 2: when we come back. Doug Bergham, Secretary of the Interior,

304
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 2: is here. Taught Greenland and critical minerals stay with us.

305
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 2: It's common sense for the American people. You know, the

306
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 2: world feels more uncertain every day, whether it's what's going

307
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 2: on in Venezuela. You've got currency pressures, political chaos in

308
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 2: places the Middle East, Greenland, you name it, international tensions.

309
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 2: At home, we have record national debt, we have shifting

310
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 2: trade policies, volatile markets reacting to distant events. Although it

311
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 2: threatens your portfolio, more Americans are protecting wealth by moving

312
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 2: into physical gold and silver, tangible, time tested assets that

313
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 2: hold value amid uncertainty. Preserve gold helps add them to

314
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 2: your portfolio, including iras and four oh one k's Text

315
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 2: the word Scott at to five zero five zero five

320
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 2: Common Sense for the American people. Excited about our next conversation.

321
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 2: One of the most important parts of our federal government.

322
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 2: The US Secretary of the Interior is here, Doug Burgham,

323
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 2: Secretary Burgham, Welcome back to the show, Sir Scott.

324
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 5: Great to be with you, and happy Friday.

325
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, happy Friday, my friend. Although I know Friday doesn't

326
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 2: mean anything to you because you work twenty four hours

327
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 2: a day, seven days a week.

328
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 3: I see out there all the time.

329
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 5: Well, well I do it. I'm I'm honored to be

330
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 5: working for a president that works seven days a Week's

331
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 5: the American people too. And well, he doesn't need any sleep.

332
00:16:57,880 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 5: He's quite something.

333
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 2: I know, it's kind of shocking. A guy's like functioning

334
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 2: on three hours of sleep. I'd be a mess, but

335
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,479
Speaker 2: not the president. All right, let's talk about the President.

336
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 2: Secretary Bergham. He just got back from Davos, and while

337
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 2: he was there, one of the biggest stories was this

338
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 2: deal that he announced over getting more US control over Greenland. Obviously,

339
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 2: he's been making the case that we need control over

340
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 2: Greenland for national security purposes. Based on the deal that's

341
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,160
Speaker 2: been announced by the President, based on the conversations going

342
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 2: on with the Europeans, are you satisfied that what he,

343
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,120
Speaker 2: the President, has worked out, is going to be enough

344
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,880
Speaker 2: to get us what we need for national security purposes

345
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 2: on Greenland.

346
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 5: Well, we've never had a deal maker in chief like

347
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 5: President Trump. And he knows what's important for the American people.

348
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 5: He knows what's important for national security, knows what's important

349
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 5: for our economy. He knows what's important for world peace,

350
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 5: and he brings all of the power and capability of

351
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 5: the United States to those negotiations. He's always negotiating from strength,

352
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 5: not weakness. And in this case, I have every confidence.

353
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 5: I mean, when he says we're going to have total

354
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 5: access and we have that indefinitely, I'm confident that he's

355
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 5: going to get a deal that's great for the security

356
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:16,199
Speaker 5: of security of all Americans. And like we have always

357
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 5: been the backbone of NATO, the biggest funder of NATO,

358
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 5: it's going to be great for all of our NATO

359
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 5: allies as well.

360
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 3: Am I reading this wrong?

361
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 2: Or did President Trump start out on this Greenland thing,

362
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 2: offering Denmark and the people of Greenland a boatload of

363
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 2: cash and we wound up getting control more control of

364
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,199
Speaker 2: Greenland than we had a deal on critical minerals and

365
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 2: we did it for nothing and that was what they

366
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 2: decided to do.

367
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 3: Am I reading this incorrect?

368
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 2: That Donald Trump basically got us what we wanted and

369
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 2: we didn't have to spend any money on it.

370
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think so, and I but you're this is

371
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 5: the classic thing everyone President Trump when he gets involved

372
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 5: in deal making. He always gets more than and then

373
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 5: everyone thinks as possible. And in this case, I'm certain

374
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 5: that he's struck a great deal for America. And again

375
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 5: as we look back on this last year, you know,

376
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 5: President Trump's his whole strategy around energy dominance. You know,

377
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,159
Speaker 5: this idea that we're going to be able to that

378
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 5: energy is the backbone of the economy, it's the backbone

379
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 5: of national security. And he also understands how the nature

380
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:27,400
Speaker 5: of national security is changing from you know, because now

381
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:32,400
Speaker 5: whether the wars that are going on right now Russia, Ukraine, Iran, Israel,

382
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 5: you know, conflict, this is all autonomous. I mean, you're

383
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 5: not hearing any stories about pilots being shot down in

384
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 5: these words, because it's it's unmanned versus unmanned. And and

385
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:47,120
Speaker 5: Greenland the course like Alaska, like the shortest route from

386
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 5: China and Russia to America is over the North Pole.

387
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 5: If we're going to have a Golden Dome that works

388
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,160
Speaker 5: for America, we've got to have our missile defense early

389
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 5: warning detection on the in Greenland like we do in Alaska.

390
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 5: And of course China with their Belton Road initiative around

391
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:05,640
Speaker 5: the world, you know, they show up, they say, hey,

392
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 5: we'll give you a loan, and then they send twenty

393
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 5: thousand workers that live there permanently. They never leave in

394
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 5: a small place like Greenland with only fifty thousand people

395
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 5: living there, you know, and Denmark's unable to defend the thing.

396
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 5: President Trump's completely right about that. You know, you could

397
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 5: wake up one day and find out that either China

398
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 5: or Russia has taken it by force. President Trump is

399
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 5: not going to let that happen. As part of the

400
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:30,399
Speaker 5: Western hemisphere. It's critical to the defense of the of

401
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 5: the United States of America, and he's working on all

402
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 5: the right things to do it. And at the same time,

403
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 5: you know, back home, you know, inflation's down, gas prices

404
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 5: it way down, mortgages down, border crossing zero, regulations down,

405
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:47,880
Speaker 5: taxes down, murder rates down, and job growth, paychecks, investment

406
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,399
Speaker 5: in America, and energy production all at record high. So,

407
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 5: I mean, he's delivering on an agenda where with the

408
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:55,919
Speaker 5: energy dominance, when we can sell and as you are,

409
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 5: friends and allies around the world, including Europe. You know,

410
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,880
Speaker 5: we're the biggest supplier. We've displaced two thirds of Russian

411
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 5: gas going into Europe. He's calling the shots he's calling

412
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:08,359
Speaker 5: the shots because they need us. They need us not

413
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 5: only for protection, they need us to get their homes

414
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,439
Speaker 5: heated through the winner. Otherwise they're buying from Russia.

415
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 2: Let's talk about the energy piece that you just referenced. Obviously,

416
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 2: the administration under your leadership and the President's leadership, made

417
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,919
Speaker 2: a lot of executive branch changes. There was some energy

418
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:27,160
Speaker 2: deregulation done in the Big Beautiful Bill last summer. House

419
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 2: Republicans have just started a budget reconciliation plan, Budget Reconciliation

420
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 2: two point zero. If you will up on Capitol Hill,

421
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,439
Speaker 2: what do you want to see them do further on

422
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 2: energy policy in this next round of budget reconciliation, which

423
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 2: by the way, can pass the House in the Senate

424
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:44,919
Speaker 2: with Republican votes only.

425
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:46,360
Speaker 3: That's the reason they're doing it.

426
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,360
Speaker 5: Well, a key thing is going to be permitting reform

427
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:53,199
Speaker 5: and just cutting this massive red tape. China, who were

428
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 5: in a competition with with AI AI arms race, we're

429
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 5: in a competition with them with critical minerals. We're in

430
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:00,920
Speaker 5: a competition with them and who can generate the most

431
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 5: electricity to power the future of an AI driven economy.

432
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 5: Advanced manufacturing, manufacturing, intelligence, all the things requires energy. We

433
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 5: were under the Biden administration, we were on a path

434
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,640
Speaker 5: of energy subtraction. It was not energy transition. They called

435
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 5: it transition. There was no transition. It was we're going

436
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 5: to shut down baseload and replace it with intermittent, taxpayer subsidized,

437
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:31,879
Speaker 5: highly unreliable wind and solar. And in the parts of

438
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 5: the country where that progressive agenda were extreme, extreme ideology

439
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 5: around around concern over one degree of climate change in

440
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 5: the year twenty one hundred was driving the policies of

441
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 5: governors and state leslatures. Those people have higher electric prices

442
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 5: than the rest of the country. They have higher gas

443
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 5: prices than the rest of the country. So pricing is

444
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 5: not uniform across our our nation because politics drives policy,

445
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 5: and policy drives pricing when it comes to energy. And

446
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:05,719
Speaker 5: we've had pro energy, pro growth states, and we've had

447
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 5: anti energy states. President Trump's trying to fix all that

448
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:12,920
Speaker 5: for everybody. We're making certainly making progress, but on relative

449
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 5: to Congress, we've got to have permitting reform. We've got

450
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 5: to get back to being building great things in America

451
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 5: and building them quickly. When the original Alaska pipeline was built,

452
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 5: you know, it's eight hundred miles long across as four

453
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 5: mountain ranges. It's been a godsend to national security in

454
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:34,399
Speaker 5: American economy and it's been operating safely for over fifty years.

455
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 5: That was built scott in twenty eight months. When we

456
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 5: took office a year ago, we had people, We met

457
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 5: with people and they said it's going to take us

458
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 5: five to ten years to get the permits. And China,

459
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 5: you know, last year built ninety three gigawats of coal.

460
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 5: In one year, they're building eighty six gigawats this year.

461
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 5: One gigawatt runs Denver, runs all of Utah. I mean

462
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 5: it is we're up against the country that just decides

463
00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 5: to build stuff and they do it. Their country is

464
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 5: run by engineers. Our country were overwhelmed by lawyers. We

465
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,159
Speaker 5: graduated thirty six thousand lawyers last year in America and

466
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,919
Speaker 5: only three hundred people in mining and metallurgical degrees. And

467
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:12,959
Speaker 5: that's why we're so far behind. And the critical minerals

468
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 5: thing so part of President Trump's agenda and what we

469
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 5: need to support from legislatures to get the permitting. We

470
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 5: can protect the air, the water, the soil health. We

471
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 5: can do all that and it doesn't take us, shouldn't

472
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 5: take a decade or two to get a permit.

473
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 3: Let me ask you about the critical minerals.

474
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 2: You just raise that topic and you've been working diligently

475
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,120
Speaker 2: on this. I want to drill down on exactly what

476
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 2: that means. How much of these critical minerals can we

477
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 2: get out of the ground in the United States, How

478
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,439
Speaker 2: much of it do we have to get overseas? And

479
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 2: are these things really that rare people's call them rare

480
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 2: earth minerals.

481
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 3: Or is it just the processing of them that's rare.

482
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,439
Speaker 2: Give us a little insight into where we sit with

483
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 2: these critical rare earth mineral conversations.

484
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 5: Well, you're spot on, Scott, because the minerals often exist

485
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 5: in lots of different place p is. We have a

486
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 5: lot of them. If you take our resources that we

487
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 5: have in America, are on shore, are offshore, throw in Alaska.

488
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:13,400
Speaker 5: We've got a lot of rare earth or critical minerals

489
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 5: that we have access to here. But they call them

490
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 5: rare because it's they would be in parts per million.

491
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 5: It wasn't like you'd find a spot and there'd be

492
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 5: a high concentration you dig in one spot. But if

493
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 5: you take example, like you know, the coal that exists

494
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 5: in Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, it's got some of the

495
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 5: highest concentrations of gallium and germanium there. These are critical

496
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 5: rare earth minerals that you need for defense, for cell phones,

497
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:41,159
Speaker 5: you need them for automotive and it makes sense to

498
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:45,119
Speaker 5: process them if you're also using the coal to produce

499
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 5: thermo electricity. It wouldn't make sense if you said, Okay,

500
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:50,879
Speaker 5: I've got to go through you know, a million tons

501
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 5: of coal to get ten tons of germanium, then it

502
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,199
Speaker 5: wouldn't be economics. So part of it is is the

503
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 5: parallel processing where you're extracting multiple minerals out of the

504
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 5: same process, and the same same thing can happen in

505
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,360
Speaker 5: a lot of our mining. You know, we got ourselves

506
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,359
Speaker 5: out where we're not we're buying uranium from Russia at

507
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 5: the time to run the nuclear plants from this country

508
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 5: for nuclear electricity. I mean, crazy dependence on our adversaries.

509
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 5: But you can get into a uranium mind, find lots

510
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 5: of other lots of other rare earth minerals that may

511
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 5: be co located. But we have to have the refining.

512
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 5: We've got to get back in the refining China controls

513
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 5: eighty five to one hundred percent of the refining of

514
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 5: the top twenty most essential critical rare earth minerals that

515
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 5: we need for our economy. So when President Trump says

516
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 5: refining is rare, it's rare in the US because you know,

517
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 5: we killed it. We strangled all that refining with regulations.

518
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 3: A note for the sportsmen in the audience.

519
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,679
Speaker 2: I noticed an announcement from you this week's Secretary of

520
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 2: Berghum that you are expanding hunting and fishing opportunities on

521
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:55,640
Speaker 2: public lands.

522
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 3: Tell us a little bit about that.

523
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:02,439
Speaker 5: Well, absolutely, and that we we had we had a

524
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,120
Speaker 5: policy that was I think a little bit inverse, which

525
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 5: is sort of things are closed unless we tell you differently.

526
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,639
Speaker 5: These are public lands. So whether we've got you know,

527
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 5: our our US fish and Wildlife lands are our Eureau

528
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 5: of Land Management lands are all the lands that we manage.

529
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 5: It's five hundred million acres of surface that we manage.

530
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:25,959
Speaker 5: Now some of those are going to be closed to hunting,

531
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:29,199
Speaker 5: like a national park. Uh but yeah, with special permits

532
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 5: you can fish in our national parks. Hunting generally closed.

533
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 5: But on all these other lands, we basically said in

534
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 5: less specified otherwise they're going to be open as opposed

535
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 5: to doing less spetisfied others they're going to be closed.

536
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 5: We need when we get our sportsmen out, you know,

537
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,680
Speaker 5: on our lakes, our rivers, and we get sportsmen out

538
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 5: in our woods and on our grasslands. You know, they're

539
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 5: the best conservations we have in this country. You can

540
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:56,400
Speaker 5: name a hundred organizations on everything from Pheasants, Sphere Forever Ducks,

541
00:27:56,480 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 5: Unlimited Delta Waterflow foul Uh you know, Rock Mount Elk Foundation,

542
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,360
Speaker 5: Mule Deer Foundation. All of these folks are the ones

543
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 5: that make the biggest contributions to habitat restoration and supporting

544
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 5: our wildlife. So the hunters and anglers are key to

545
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:15,400
Speaker 5: conservation in this country and that habitite. So we want

546
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,400
Speaker 5: to use the public lands to create more opportunities for them.

547
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 5: When they do that, they do more support to help

548
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 5: make sure that the generations to come are still going

549
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 5: to have access to hunting and fishing in America.

550
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 2: That voice you're hearing on the show today, Secretary of

551
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 2: the Interior, Doug Berger, Mister Secretary, thanks for coming by

552
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 2: and also thanks for what you and the National Parks

553
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 2: are doing to get us ready for America two fifty.

554
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 2: I think it's going to be a great celebration. I

555
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 2: know you have a huge part of that, and we

556
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 2: appreciate your work on that.

557
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 5: Well, it is going to be. And I saw that

558
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 5: your New Year's resolution was to visit a national park

559
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 5: this year, and we've got a suggestion for it. Come

560
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 5: to Theodre Roosevelt National Park, the only park named after

561
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 5: a person instead of a place after Theodore Roosevelt and

562
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 5: the incredible work that he did, and attend the grand

563
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:03,719
Speaker 5: open opening of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library, Museum and

564
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 5: outdoor experience that's going to go there right at the

565
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 5: entrance to Theatre Roselt National Park. And you know where

566
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 5: in Medora, North Dakota, in the beautiful bad lands, So

567
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 5: one of.

568
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 2: My favorite places. And as luck would have it, I

569
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 2: already got my invitation. I already aresvped and I am

570
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 2: planning to broadcast this radio show from the opening of

571
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 2: that great facility out there. So I appreciate the hospitality

572
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 2: on it, and I cannot wait to get back to Medora.

573
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 3: It's one of the most beautiful places in America.

574
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 5: And it is an official Freedom to fifty America to

575
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 5: fifty event, You're going to be in the right spot

576
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 5: when that's happening. Scott, Thanks, thanks for being there, and

577
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 5: thanks for all you do fighting for common sense in

578
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 5: this country. I know your listeners appreciate it, and I

579
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 5: sure do.

580
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 2: Secretary Doug Bergham, Secretary of the Interior, thanks for joining

581
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 2: us today. When we come back, Congressman Mark Alford is here,

582
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 2: we'll talk Capitol Hill stuff. It's common sense on Salem.

583
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 3: Stay with us. Here's some common sense for you.

584
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 2: If you're living with daily aches and pains, why why

585
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 2: are you doing this yourself?

586
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 3: You don't have to. There are options out there.

587
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 2: One of those options that thousands of people all over

588
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 2: this country have gotten into is.

589
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 3: Called Relief Factor.

590
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 2: We get stories and testimonials, by the way, from people

591
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 2: who use relief Factor.

592
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 3: One is from Sharon.

593
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 2: She says she'd been hearing about relief Factor on the

594
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 2: radio for a couple of years, and she was thinking

595
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 2: about it, thinking about it. Finally decided to try it

596
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 2: because nothing else was helping her back pain.

597
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 3: She does the three week quick start.

598
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 2: She just went for it, she says, and quote, now

599
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 2: I feel like a new person.

600
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 3: That's her own words.

601
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 2: Free, gratifying to hear when you're asking your audience, like

602
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 2: I am, to try something out. It's free gratifying to

603
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 2: me to be able to bring you the testimonial of

604
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 2: someone who's just like you saying yes, try this and

605
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 2: it may just be the answer for you. You can

606
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 2: try it yourself. As I said, they have a three

607
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:58,959
Speaker 2: week quick start plan. I think it's a game changer.

608
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 2: You go on relief factor dot com or you call

609
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:05,160

Speaker 2: hundred and four relief or go to relief factor dot com.

613
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 2: Ask yourself this question, how would it feel to be

614
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 2: out of pain? You may find out if you try

615
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 2: relief Factor on the line with us closing out Hour

616
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:27,719
Speaker 2: number one. Congressman Mark Alford representing Missouri's fourth congressional district.

00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 2: as well in Missouri.

627
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 3: I love Missouri, by the way.

628
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 2: I'm from far West Kentucky, so Missouri it was always

629
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 2: a frequent destination for me as a kid.

630
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 3: Still go over there a lot. I want to get

631
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 3: right to our interview.

632
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 11: Sir.

633
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 2: You are part of the Republican Study Committee. You all

634
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 2: are working on this new budget reconciliation plan. You've also

635
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 2: been working on in the House Republican Conference.

636
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 3: Something remarkable.

637
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 2: All twelve government funding bills have been completed by the

638
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 2: House Republican majority, despite these thin majorities.

639
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 3: It's a miracle. It is a miracle.

640
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 2: Government is actually functioning as it is supposed to in

641
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 2: the House under Republicans.

642
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 12: Tell us about it, Scott, thank you for that question.

643
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 12: And I'm glad we're actually starting out with this because

644
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 12: I'm so proud of the work that we're doing and

645
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 12: have done, and we'll continue to do on the Appropriations Committee. Listen, folks,

646
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 12: listening right now. This is the way that government should operate.

647
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 12: No more omnibuses, no more government shut downs, no more

648
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 12: continuing resolutions. Hopefully we get twelve appropriation bills out of committee,

649
00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 12: we get the pass on the House for send them

650
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 12: over the Senate, we reconcile the differences and then vote

651
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 12: on it and send it to the President's desk. We

652
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 12: did that yesterday, and Scott, we have not done that

653
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 12: since nineteen ninety seven, twenty nine years of a wayward

654
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 12: mission for Congress. And we're back on the rack right track,

655
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 12: thanks to the leadership of our Appropriations Chair Tom Cole,

656
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 12: a master negotiator but also a person who delegates responsibility

657
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 12: to the sub chairman's and individual members of the Appropriations Committee.

658
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 12: And you can't forget the leadership of Mike Johnson, our

659
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 12: fearless speakers.

660
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 3: Magic Mike came through again, Scott.

661
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 10: They said we could not get the one big, beautiful

662
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 10: bill done. We did it.

663
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:47,959
Speaker 12: They said we couldn't get all these twelve appropriation bills done.

664
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 9: We did it.

665
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 10: Yes, we had to fight the Democrats. They shut down

666
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 10: the government. We could have done this.

667
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 12: Before the end of the year, but we did our job.

668
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 12: And when we get back in February, we began on

669
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 12: the twenty twenty appropriations package here's a couple of things

670
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 12: we need though, Scott. We've got to have the president's budget. Okay,

671
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 12: he got it to us in June. I understand it's

672
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 12: a new administration, but please, we need a budget. We

673
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 12: also need a top line number. And then we will

674
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:20,400
Speaker 12: begin our hearings in February, and we're going to get

675
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 12: our work done.

676
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 3: Yeah.

677
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:27,280
Speaker 2: What is and again, when things go right in Washington,

678
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:29,799
Speaker 2: nobody covers it. When things go wrong, everybody wants to

679
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 2: talk about it. What is miraculous here is that you've

680
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 2: got the Republicans with effectively a one seat majority, but

681
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 2: that's not even really a majority because of Massey. And

682
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:45,319
Speaker 2: yet you're still getting regular order back on the menu here.

683
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 2: I mean, almost thirty years we haven't done this correctly,

684
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 2: and you guys pulled it off, and you're going to

685
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 2: do it again under the leadership of this speaker, Congressman Alfred,

686
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:54,319
Speaker 2: thanks for coming on the show.

687
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 3: We have to get to the top of the hour break.

688
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:59,959
Speaker 2: I want to have you back and continued these Washington conversations,

689
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 2: So come back and see us soon.

690
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:03,359
Speaker 3: When we come back, it is.

691
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 2: Time for Friday Afternoon Punditry. Our number two of the

692
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:11,360
Speaker 2: Scott Jettings show coming up after this. It's common sense

693
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 2: for the American people right here on Salem.

694
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 3: Stay with us, Hey, it's Scott Jennings.

695
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:21,280
Speaker 2: You know, depending on where you live, crime maybe skyrocketing,

696
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:23,839
Speaker 2: and you may already own a firearm.

697
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 3: But before you.

698
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:28,720
Speaker 2: Face the financial, legal, and emotional weight of pulling the trigger,

699
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:33,360
Speaker 2: there's a smarter option. It's called Burna that's b y

700
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 2: r in a. Burna makes a less lethal launcher that

701
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 2: fires tear gas and kinetic rounds designed to stop an

702
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,359
Speaker 2: attacker for up to forty minutes that gives you time

703
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 2: to escape and call for help without deadly consequences. Their

704
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 2: best selling compact launcher is sleek, slim, and incredibly powerful.

705
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:57,400
Speaker 2: It's about the size of a smartphone, and it is

706
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 2: ideal for concealed, caring, comfortable, discreet, and confidence building. It

707
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:07,320
Speaker 2: fires at four hundred feet per second with serious stopping power,

708
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:10,400
Speaker 2: enough to shut down a threat fast without the legal

709
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:15,240
Speaker 2: and moral complexity of lethal force. Burna is proudly American.

710
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 2: Over eighty percent of the components are US sourced. Every

711
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 2: Burna launcher is hand assembled in Fort Wayne, Indiana, with

712
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:26,399
Speaker 2: over seven hundred and fifty thousand of these things sold worldwide.

713
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:30,360
Speaker 2: Burna is best in class, legal in all fifty states,

714
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:33,919

00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 2: better than that. It is a set of benefits that

Speaker 2: you and your family can use on day one. There

734
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 2: are no deductibles, there are no restrictions on what doctors

735

Speaker 2: or hospitals that you can choose.

736
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 3: It'll actually feel like you have insurance again.

738
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,319

00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:56,759
Speaker 2: Scott Schenning Show.

758
00:38:58,000 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 11: So glad to be here with you, and I hope

759
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 11: all of your listeners know that you are the nicest, friendliest,

760
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 11: kindness person on that show despite being a bit of

761
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:09,319
Speaker 11: a celebrity.

762
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:13,439
Speaker 2: Now, well, I'm glad that you think that, because, as

763
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:17,279
Speaker 2: you know, Chris Cuomo from News Nation is trying I

764
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:19,959
Speaker 2: think he's trying to beat me up personally, and he's

765
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 2: encouraging others to beat me up. And I'm like, what

766
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:25,359
Speaker 2: did I ever do to you, Chris Cuomo, other than

767
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 2: become I guess I guess we're sort of the object

768
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 2: of envy for Chris Quo. The problem with Chris Cuomo

769
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:34,320
Speaker 2: is is that it's sort of difficult to watch someone

770
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 2: grappling with the loss of their own relevance, and that's

771
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 2: what's happened to Chris Cuomo. So then he goes after

772
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 2: people who actually have relevant.

773
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:43,320
Speaker 3: Opinions, like you and me Lydia.

774
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 2: So it's pretty sad and pathetic what low rated news

775
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:49,840
Speaker 2: anchor Chris Cuomo has to say.

776
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 3: But I guess we'll leave it there.

777
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 2: Lydia, I want to get to some stories and get

778
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 2: your comment on some things, and I'm going to start

779
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:03,399
Speaker 2: with this despicable smear that's going on. These Democrats out

780
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 2: smearing ICE agents claiming that they had detained a five

781
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 2: year old boy in Minneapolis. Of course this turned out

782
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 2: to be a total lie, a total hoax.

783
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:16,799
Speaker 3: Actually, let's do this.

784
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 2: Let's play a clip of Vice President Vance from yesterday,

785
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:23,239
Speaker 2: and I want to get your comment on this whole thing, Lydia,

786
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 2: here's cut number six.

787
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:24,480
Speaker 3: JD.

788
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:27,319
Speaker 2: Vance on the Democrat hoax around the five year old

789
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 2: in Minneapolis.

790
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:32,440
Speaker 13: I'm proud of the fact that we're standing behind law enforcement,

791
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:34,160
Speaker 13: and I'm proud of the fact that we're enforcing the

792
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 13: country's laws. But you asked a question about this five

793
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 13: year old kid.

794
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 9: I actually saw this terrible story while I.

795
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 13: Was coming to Minneapolis.

796
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:42,920
Speaker 9: We just left Toledo, Ohio this.

797
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:45,960
Speaker 13: Morning for an economic messenganging event, and I see this story,

798
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:48,320
Speaker 13: and I'm a father of a five year old, actually

799
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:50,040
Speaker 13: a five year old little boy, and I think to myself,

800
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 13: oh my god, this is terrible.

801
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 9: How did we arrest a five year old?

802
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:54,800
Speaker 13: Well, I do a little bit more follow up research,

803
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 13: and what I find is that the five year old

804
00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:57,920
Speaker 13: was not.

805
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 9: Arrested, that his dad was an illegal.

806
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 13: Alien, and then when they went to arrest his illegal

807
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:07,759
Speaker 13: alien father, the father ran. So the story is that

808
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:09,759
Speaker 13: ICE detained a five year old.

809
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:11,800
Speaker 9: Well, what are they supposed to do. Are they supposed

810
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:13,839
Speaker 9: to let a five year old child freeze to death?

811
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:17,480
Speaker 13: Are they not supposed to arrest an illegal alien? In

812
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:20,239
Speaker 13: the United States of America. If the argument is that

813
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 13: you can't arrest people who have violated the laws because

814
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 13: they have children, then every single parent is going to

815
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 13: be completely given immunity from ever being.

816
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 9: The subject of law enforcement.

817
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 13: That doesn't make any sense. No one thinks that makes

818
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 13: any sense.

819
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:38,400
Speaker 2: Lydia, it seems to me that democrats and media are

820
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:41,360
Speaker 2: running the same playbook on Minneapolis they ran in Gaza.

821
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:45,279
Speaker 2: Let's make up some propaganda stories about children and try

822
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:48,239
Speaker 2: to affect public opinion. You scratch the surface on these

823
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 2: things and you realize it's all a hoax. But by

824
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 2: the time you do, you know half of America has

825
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:54,919
Speaker 2: already decided we're not arresting five year olds.

826
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:55,600
Speaker 3: What do you make of it?

827
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 11: Exactly? I mean, a lie can spread around the world

828
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 11: come back before the truth is even laced up its boots.

829
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 11: And that's what's so frustrating is that it does feel

830
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 11: like a hoax. It's all about the severity of the accusation.

831
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:11,280
Speaker 11: And it's funny, you know, I first saw this story

832
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 11: kind of checking Instagram and all of my friends we're

833
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 11: posting it with the crying emojis and the broking hearts,

834
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:21,480
Speaker 11: and at first you see the headline and then Jad

835
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:23,279
Speaker 11: walks through. This is sort of the process I feel

836
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 11: like we go through for almost every single story when

837
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:30,439
Speaker 11: it comes to illegal immigration and deportations. As you see

838
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:32,799
Speaker 11: the headline, you's like, wait, that's terrible, and then you

839
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 11: literally look past the first sentence and you're like, oh, okay, no, literally,

840
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 11: Ice was stepping in and making sure that a five

841
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 11: year old didn't freeze. But it doesn't matter because there

842
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:48,319
Speaker 11: are millions of crying white women out there who are

843
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 11: posting about how devastating it is. And it's the stage

844
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:54,120
Speaker 11: one thinking where they see, oh, it's a sad image

845
00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:57,760
Speaker 11: of a boy. Therefore we just need to protest Ice

846
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:01,880
Speaker 11: stop the deportations. And that's why it feels very intentional

847
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:05,279
Speaker 11: on the part of the media. And left is that

848
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:07,759
Speaker 11: it doesn't matter, you know, even if they were to

849
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:10,279
Speaker 11: issue a retraction at this point, millions of people have

850
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:12,440
Speaker 11: seen it and they're never going to know the truth.

851
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 11: And it is scary that we're living in these sort

852
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:20,319
Speaker 11: of information silos where there are people who probably will

853
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:23,760
Speaker 11: forever think that that little boy was arrested and detained

854
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:25,319
Speaker 11: by ice. There are people who are going to think

855
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 11: the other lies like christinome deported veterans, and of course

856
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:31,759
Speaker 11: we know actually those vecterans self deported. And so it's

857
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:34,840
Speaker 11: really tough to have a conversation and canvey a message

858
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:37,279
Speaker 11: when people either don't want to be reached or they

859
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:38,400
Speaker 11: can't be reached.

860
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's crazy about these kinds of situations, Lydia is

861
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 2: that once the Left decides what the hoax or the

862
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:51,000
Speaker 2: narrative is going to be, they get this stuff out

863
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:54,719
Speaker 2: so fast, and they're very authoritarian in their communication strategy.

864
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:56,720
Speaker 2: They get it out to all their members of Congress,

865
00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:58,399
Speaker 2: they get it out to all their pundits, they get

866
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:01,040
Speaker 2: it out to all the news anchors, and you hear

867
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:05,560
Speaker 2: them all repeating it ad nauseum all day long in

868
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 2: broadcast media. On social media, no amount of debunking. No

869
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 2: amount of Hey, here are the facts, No amount of

870
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:17,759
Speaker 2: actual information can shape them from the operation. And that's

871
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:19,839
Speaker 2: all that it is. It's an op. It's an op

872
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 2: against the American people. So now, for time immemorial, everybody

873
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 2: at the Democratic Party, everybody on the left will believe

874
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:29,719
Speaker 2: that DHS is out arresting five year olds, even though

875
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 2: you and I know it's not true, even though the

876
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:33,440
Speaker 2: listeners of this show know it's not true. You're going

877
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 2: to have one entire political party taking that as an

878
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:38,240
Speaker 2: article of faith.

879
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 3: They do this all the time. It's rather insidious.

880
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 2: How can you trust people with governing responsibility who are

881
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:47,200
Speaker 2: that committed to hoaxes and lies all the time?

882
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:48,480
Speaker 5: Right?

883
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 11: No, and you know these people are voting. One thing

884
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:53,239
Speaker 11: that I would note that I think the left is

885
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:55,440
Speaker 11: so well is you know, I think m Stalin who

886
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:57,680
Speaker 11: said one death is a tragedy, a million is a statistic.

887
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:02,279
Speaker 11: And they're very good at finding these photos find you know,

888
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:05,640
Speaker 11: it doesn't matter. Again Trump's first term, it was photos

889
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 11: new bomb the administration of children in cages that went viral.

890
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:11,840
Speaker 11: But the left is really good at kind of telling

891
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 11: stories and telling narratives, and you know, what's lost, of course,

892
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:19,640
Speaker 11: is it actually a Biden administration lost literally one hundreds

893
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:22,920
Speaker 11: of thousands of children, and the Trump administration has actually

894
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:27,120
Speaker 11: found tens of thousands of children who were just completely

895
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:29,879
Speaker 11: lost here in the interior of the US, never showed

896
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:34,359
Speaker 11: up to their immigration appointments, no one knew where they were,

897
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:37,080
Speaker 11: and the Trump administration has actually found thousands of those kids.

898
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:40,200
Speaker 11: But that's a statistic, right that's not going to make

899
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:44,719
Speaker 11: a headline in the same way that a photo of

900
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:48,320
Speaker 11: a little cute boy with a backpack and his blue

901
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:53,319
Speaker 11: hat is going to shake people. And so I think

902
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:55,279
Speaker 11: they do a really good job of that, and I

903
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 11: think the right needs to figure out how do we

904
00:45:57,239 --> 00:46:01,120
Speaker 11: counter that, because they're really smart about having topaganda that

905
00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:03,319
Speaker 11: pulls at the heartstrings. And on the right, a lot

906
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:05,680
Speaker 11: of people look at the statistics, you know.

907
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 3: And anything we saw it. We saw it in Gaza.

908
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:11,960
Speaker 2: You know, they had the propaganda photos of the kids

909
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 2: that was all made up, and you know, you had

910
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:18,080
Speaker 2: every newspaper in the English speaking world running those photos.

911
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:19,400
Speaker 2: You see it with this kid there was in the

912
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:21,839
Speaker 2: first term, there was a famous Time magazine cover. We'll

913
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:23,680
Speaker 2: talk more about this with Lydia Moynan from the New

914
00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:25,040
Speaker 2: York Post. When we come back, I do want to

915
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:27,760
Speaker 2: get in a quick word from our friends at Done

922
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:49,279
Speaker 2: ever seen here at Salem, at navigating debt relief. Last

923
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:53,280
Speaker 2: year they did over one hundred million for their customers,

924
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:55,680
Speaker 2: our listeners here Done with Debt. They track all this,

925
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:58,680
Speaker 2: they know what to do, when to do it. They

926
00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:02,000
Speaker 2: know how to assess your person situation. And by the way,

927
00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:06,080
Speaker 2: calling them up to get that assessment is absolutely free.

00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:08,880
Speaker 2: It just takes a few minutes. Go to Done with

929
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 2: Debt dot com and talk to one of their specialists.

930
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 2: You could, again that is free, get the assessment for free.

931
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:17,440

00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:20,080
Speaker 2: you want some relief, Done with Debt might be able

933

Speaker 2: with Lydia moynahan from the New York Post. It's Friday

935
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:27,480
Speaker 2: punditry here on the Scott Jennings Show. Stay with us

936
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:30,800
Speaker 2: and we are dispensing common sense to the American people

937
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:34,280
Speaker 2: here on Friday, January twenty third. My friend Lydia moynihan

938
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:37,000
Speaker 2: from the New York Post is here. By the way, Lydia,

939
00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:40,840
Speaker 2: I want everybody to see the amazing video clips of

940
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:43,200
Speaker 2: you on CNN. You're doing such a great job in

941
00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:46,000
Speaker 2: your cable TV appearances. Where do we find you on

942
00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 2: the X platform, Lydia?

943
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:53,719
Speaker 11: That is incredibly high phrase coming from you. It is LJ. Moynihan. So,

944
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:57,799
Speaker 11: and I will have more clips tonight dropping around midnight night.

945
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:00,520
Speaker 3: I will look for you you tonight.

946
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:03,279
Speaker 2: I'm gonna pop over after the radio show today and

947
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:05,480
Speaker 2: do with Casey Hunt. I'm going to get back to

948
00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:09,360
Speaker 2: Kentucky tonight because I got to beat this weather. I

949
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:11,120
Speaker 2: got to get back before it starts snowing. You know,

950
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:13,040
Speaker 2: somebody's got to take care of the chickens back at

951
00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:15,719
Speaker 2: the at the Jimmings Homestead. I'll be out there with

952
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:19,560
Speaker 2: a shovel, shoveling out the area around the coop and

953
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:22,359
Speaker 2: taking care of of the girls in the backyard. All right,

954
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:24,280
Speaker 2: another story I want to bring up with you. Lydia

955
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:30,400
Speaker 2: murders plummeted more than twenty percent this last year, the

956
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:35,240
Speaker 2: single largest one year drop on record. Twenty twenty five

957
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:39,840
Speaker 2: might be the lowest murder rate in the United States

958
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:45,040
Speaker 2: since nineteen hundred. Lydia, What pray tell happened in twenty

959
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:48,480
Speaker 2: twenty five that caused all this crime to magically go

960
00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:50,480
Speaker 2: away in the United States?

961
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:52,440
Speaker 11: I can't put my finger on it.

962
00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:52,840
Speaker 8: I don't know.

963
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:54,440
Speaker 11: Was there anything again.

964
00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:58,240
Speaker 3: Something happened, Something happened, Lydia, What was it? I'm thinking

965
00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:01,480
Speaker 3: back on twenty five. Was different about twenty five than

966
00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:03,279
Speaker 3: twenty one? Taken something happening.

967
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:04,839
Speaker 11: We got reelected? That's probably it.

968
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:09,279
Speaker 2: Oh, that's right, that's right, honorary Somali pirate Jacob Fry.

969
00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:13,719
Speaker 11: I mean, it's such an incredible statistic. But like I

970
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:17,280
Speaker 11: was saying, we're talking about it. We love the numbers,

971
00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 11: and yet this isn't the viral image that the Democrats

972
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 11: are so good at finding and oftentimes flying about to

973
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:28,880
Speaker 11: pull up people's heart strings. But I mean, this is

974
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:32,200
Speaker 11: absolutely incredible, and I think the Trumps administration come the

975
00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:35,680
Speaker 11: terms there are so many good things like this that

976
00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:38,400
Speaker 11: they can point to, and I think we're just going

977
00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:41,319
Speaker 11: to make sure we market it. Get we get yeah,

978
00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:44,520
Speaker 11: and we get the emotional image.

979
00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:45,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the thing.

980
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:50,480
Speaker 2: Murder rate is down, carjackings are down, shoplifting is down.

981
00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:52,880
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, there's something to be said, honestly

982
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:56,600
Speaker 2: for attitude in government. I mean, you know that the

983
00:49:56,640 --> 00:49:58,560
Speaker 2: attitude said at the top, like are we going to

984
00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:00,600
Speaker 2: tolerate lawlessness in our country?

985
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:02,600
Speaker 3: Are we going to tolerate an open border?

986
00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:04,960
Speaker 2: Are we going to tolerate being taken advantage of by

987
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:08,759
Speaker 2: other countries? So you know, obviously policy and decisions and

988
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:11,080
Speaker 2: personnel go into all this, but it really starts with

989
00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:14,440
Speaker 2: an attitude. And with the Biden people and with the Democrats,

990
00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:16,720
Speaker 2: the attitude is, well, we can't really enforce the law

991
00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:19,640
Speaker 2: on any of these fronts. And with Trump, he's like, no,

992
00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:22,120
Speaker 2: we're going to enforce the law. And by the way,

993
00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:24,120
Speaker 2: we're going to give cover to people who want to

994
00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:25,719
Speaker 2: enforce the law. If you want to go out and

995
00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:27,640
Speaker 2: enforce the law, if you want to cooperate with us,

996
00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:30,839
Speaker 2: if you want to actually stand up for law abiding taxpayers,

997
00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:31,760
Speaker 2: we have your back.

998
00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:34,200
Speaker 3: You never really had that assurance in the Biden years.

999
00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:37,320
Speaker 11: That's such a good point, right, It's all about the

1000
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:39,719
Speaker 11: boots on the ground. And I think seeing Jabe Vance

1001
00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:42,120
Speaker 11: go and actually support the ICE agents who have been

1002
00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:47,759
Speaker 11: totally smeared, but standing with them and saying I celebrate

1003
00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:49,640
Speaker 11: and I applaud you. Right, And the same time you

1004
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:53,560
Speaker 11: see Eric Slowwall, who's running for California governor, threatening that

1005
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:56,680
Speaker 11: if he is elected, that no ICE officer will ever

1006
00:50:56,760 --> 00:50:59,600
Speaker 11: be able to be on the California payroll. It's kind

1007
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:01,439
Speaker 11: of iron because if you think about all the people

1008
00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:04,239
Speaker 11: on the California payroll, many of them are illegal immigrants

1009
00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:07,680
Speaker 11: and people who've been convicted of crimes. But of course

1010
00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:11,399
Speaker 11: that is a bridge too far. So I think you're

1011
00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:14,640
Speaker 11: how it's crazy starts at the top all the way down.

1012
00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:16,960
Speaker 3: Of course, you know what's crazy.

1013
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:19,920
Speaker 2: You know, every year now in January sixth, we have

1014
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:23,319
Speaker 2: to live through the National Memorial of January sixth, set

1015
00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:25,480
Speaker 2: forward by Democrats and media, and they go out and

1016
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:27,680
Speaker 2: they have a candlelight vigil and they talk all about

1017
00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:30,760
Speaker 2: the brave, you know, standing up for the brave Capitol police.

1018
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:32,760
Speaker 3: By the way, I love the Capitol police. I love all.

1019
00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:36,879
Speaker 2: Police Yeah, January seventh comes around and it's Democrats.

1020
00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:38,080
Speaker 3: They're the Gestapo.

1021
00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:41,840
Speaker 2: We're never gonna let Ice work in California. These people

1022
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:45,040
Speaker 2: should be confronted in the streets. Hit them with your cars.

1023
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:48,320
Speaker 2: So one day a year, one day a year, Lydia,

1024
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:51,920
Speaker 2: we get Democrats talking about how much they love the police,

1025
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:55,120
Speaker 2: three hundred and sixty four days a year. They're being

1026
00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:58,200
Speaker 2: compared to Nazi Germany. Lydiam on a hand from the

1027

Speaker 2: New York Post. Look her up, watch her on television.

1053
00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:06,200
Speaker 2: for the American people. My friend from CNN, Sure Michael Singleton,

1054
00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:10,000
Speaker 2: joins us in just a moment. He's waiting, chomping at

1055
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:13,520
Speaker 2: the bit to get into some Friday puntry. A punditry is,

1056
00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:17,600
Speaker 2: Sir Michael. First, a quick story from our partners at

1057
00:53:17,680 --> 00:53:18,160
Speaker 2: Child Health.

1058
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:20,440
Speaker 3: It's a story they see all too often.

1059
00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:23,920
Speaker 2: It starts as a game, kids logging on after school,

1060
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:28,680
Speaker 2: talking with friends, having fun. Then someone else joins the conversation.

1061
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:33,200
Speaker 2: At first, it doesn't feel wrong, compliments, curious questions, someone

1062
00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:37,440
Speaker 2: paying attention. But over time it becomes personal, then private,

1063
00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:41,160
Speaker 2: then secret, and eventually uncomfortable.

1064
00:53:41,320 --> 00:53:43,520
Speaker 3: That's how online grooming works.

1065
00:53:43,640 --> 00:53:48,080
Speaker 2: It's not force, it's trust by the time a child

1066
00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:51,960
Speaker 2: realizes something is wrong, they are scared. They're scared to

1067
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:54,879
Speaker 2: tell their parents. They're scared of getting in trouble. They're

1068
00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:58,319
Speaker 2: scared of losing their devices and their friends. This is

1069
00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:02,479
Speaker 2: where our partners at child Help step in. Child Help

1070
00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:05,960
Speaker 2: teaches kids how to recognize grooming before it turns into abuse,

1071
00:54:06,440 --> 00:54:09,799
Speaker 2: and it helps parents spot the warning signs early. They

1072
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:13,200
Speaker 2: remind kids that secrets about bodies are not okay. They

1073
00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:18,200
Speaker 2: help families act when something isn't right. This isn't about fear,

1074
00:54:18,280 --> 00:54:21,839
Speaker 2: it's about preparation. For just twenty seven dollars, you can

1075

00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:52,600

1108
00:55:52,640 --> 00:55:56,840
Speaker 2: you this week, Shermichael shooting guns. And also this week

1109
00:55:57,000 --> 00:56:00,440
Speaker 2: you were in Las Vegas at the annual Shot Show,

1110
00:56:01,160 --> 00:56:05,719
Speaker 2: big show out there for Second Amendment and firearms enthusiasts.

1111
00:56:05,719 --> 00:56:08,040
Speaker 2: Tell us about your experience out there at the Shot Show.

1112
00:56:08,080 --> 00:56:09,640
Speaker 2: I know so many people who were out there.

1113
00:56:10,680 --> 00:56:13,719
Speaker 14: Yeah, this is my fifth one. It is the industry

1114
00:56:13,800 --> 00:56:17,760
Speaker 14: leading firearms event by NSSF, the National Shooting Sports Foundation.

1115
00:56:18,360 --> 00:56:22,200
Speaker 14: They are the trade organization for the firearms industry. And

1116
00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:24,520
Speaker 14: this was the first year we were there with We

1117
00:56:24,719 --> 00:56:27,719
Speaker 14: the Free with our network since officially launching. And I

1118
00:56:27,719 --> 00:56:31,120
Speaker 14: got a chance to see so many old friends, new friends,

1119
00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:35,120
Speaker 14: new gun companies, entrepreneurship. It's a big thing in our

1120
00:56:35,160 --> 00:56:37,360
Speaker 14: country and a lot of people are trying to get

1121
00:56:37,239 --> 00:56:40,680
Speaker 14: involved in the firearms industry. And I had a chance

1122
00:56:40,719 --> 00:56:43,640
Speaker 14: to sit down with Governor Sarah Hunckyby Sanders. Haven't seen

1123
00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:45,640
Speaker 14: her in a long time. I've known her since my

1124
00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:48,640
Speaker 14: days was doctor Carson. That was awesome. I got to

1125
00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:51,719
Speaker 14: sit down with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, got to

1126
00:56:51,760 --> 00:56:56,080
Speaker 14: talk to incoming Director of the ATF, rob Satata. So

1127
00:56:56,120 --> 00:56:59,520
Speaker 14: it was a wonderful event. Scott, and what I have

1128
00:56:59,560 --> 00:57:01,920
Speaker 14: to say to you audience is that the Second Amendment

1129
00:57:02,400 --> 00:57:04,799
Speaker 14: is important to the foundation of our country. There would

1130
00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:07,240
Speaker 14: be no America without the right to keeping their arms.

1131
00:57:07,680 --> 00:57:11,239
Speaker 14: And I had the chance to interview seven Republican governors

1132
00:57:11,560 --> 00:57:15,919
Speaker 14: during the NSSS annual Governor's Form, and these guys are

1133
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:21,120
Speaker 14: committed to protecting Americans' rights to keep themselves safe from

1134
00:57:21,120 --> 00:57:24,720
Speaker 14: a tyrannical government and thugs on the street attempting to

1135
00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:26,240
Speaker 14: cause harm against good people.

1136
00:57:27,360 --> 00:57:28,680
Speaker 3: Well, I'm glad you were out there.

1137
00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:31,000
Speaker 2: And you're one of the greatest advocates for the Second

1138
00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:34,919
Speaker 2: Amendment in the country. And you are not just unabashed

1139
00:57:34,960 --> 00:57:37,280
Speaker 2: about your views on the Second Amendment, you live it.

1140
00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:41,880
Speaker 2: And you also are one of the foremost information hubs

1141
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:46,400
Speaker 2: with your different media properties for gun training, gun safety,

1142
00:57:46,520 --> 00:57:50,400
Speaker 2: teaching people how to use firearms safely. And I think

1143
00:57:50,440 --> 00:57:52,720
Speaker 2: you have reached so many people. Tell me, by the way,

1144
00:57:52,720 --> 00:57:54,680
Speaker 2: about We the Free. The last time you were on

1145
00:57:54,800 --> 00:57:57,360
Speaker 2: you were just getting this off the ground. How is

1146
00:57:57,640 --> 00:58:01,240
Speaker 2: we the Free going? How's the media subscription property going?

1147
00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:05,200
Speaker 14: It's going really well, Scott. So since launching April fifteenth,

1148
00:58:05,520 --> 00:58:10,560
Speaker 14: we're now at nearly seven thousand paid subscribers. That's between

1149
00:58:10,640 --> 00:58:13,560
Speaker 14: annual which is eight ninety nine a month, or a

1150
00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:15,600
Speaker 14: monthly eight nine nine a month, an annual fifty nine

1151
00:58:15,680 --> 00:58:18,600
Speaker 14: ninety nine a month. We just officially launched a big

1152
00:58:18,640 --> 00:58:21,880
Speaker 14: partnership with the National Rifle Association NRA. A couple of

1153
00:58:21,960 --> 00:58:25,960
Speaker 14: days ago. We are very very excited about that partnership

1154
00:58:25,960 --> 00:58:28,400
Speaker 14: and what it means for the NRA as they move

1155
00:58:28,440 --> 00:58:30,640
Speaker 14: in a new and healthier direction and try to reach

1156
00:58:30,720 --> 00:58:33,480
Speaker 14: younger gun owners, but also what it means for the

1157
00:58:33,520 --> 00:58:36,640
Speaker 14: network in terms of giving us the type of historic,

1158
00:58:36,960 --> 00:58:41,040
Speaker 14: traditional credibility that any new startup would yearn for. And

1159
00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:43,920
Speaker 14: so we're looking forward to having a slew of new

1160
00:58:43,960 --> 00:58:48,240
Speaker 14: partnerships with major manufacturers coming the rest of this year.

1161
00:58:48,680 --> 00:58:51,480
Speaker 14: And man, I'm happy to be in a place in

1162
00:58:51,520 --> 00:58:55,680
Speaker 14: a country where people love and value firearms, where people

1163
00:58:55,840 --> 00:58:59,840
Speaker 14: want to find an informational hub that's entertaining, that's trained,

1164
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:03,520
Speaker 14: it's also conservative news, that's gun news. We're building it,

1165
00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:05,600
Speaker 14: and the people of San Trumichael, we're going to support

1166
00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:08,640
Speaker 14: you because we no longer want to deal with being

1167
00:59:09,040 --> 00:59:12,400
Speaker 14: sanctioned by YouTube and big tech and liberal Democrats.

1168
00:59:12,480 --> 00:59:13,200
Speaker 5: We had enough of that.

1169
00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:15,280
Speaker 14: We want to build our own and the people are coming.

1170
00:59:15,320 --> 00:59:17,160
Speaker 3: Scott, I love that well.

1171
00:59:17,200 --> 00:59:19,800
Speaker 2: I'm glad to hear about the success for We the Free.

1172
00:59:20,040 --> 00:59:22,479
Speaker 2: You and I were discussing this the other day. All

1173
00:59:22,560 --> 00:59:25,480
Speaker 2: of the media content on We the Free You're producing

1174
00:59:25,560 --> 00:59:27,320
Speaker 2: this is not license stuff.

1175
00:59:27,320 --> 00:59:28,760
Speaker 3: This is not can stuff.

1176
00:59:28,760 --> 00:59:31,480
Speaker 2: You all at the company are actually producing all of this.

1177
00:59:31,600 --> 00:59:33,760
Speaker 2: It's a lot of work that you're putting into these

1178
00:59:34,080 --> 00:59:35,560
Speaker 2: and the productions are really high end.

1179
00:59:35,560 --> 00:59:37,840
Speaker 3: You go on we the free the stuff's really.

1180
00:59:37,600 --> 00:59:41,800
Speaker 14: Good, Scott. We spend so much time and a lot

1181
00:59:41,800 --> 00:59:45,400
Speaker 14: of capital trying to reduce content that you can't find

1182
00:59:45,440 --> 00:59:49,720
Speaker 14: anywhere else, and for so long the firearms community has

1183
00:59:49,800 --> 00:59:52,400
Speaker 14: really struggled, Scott to have a place for our content

1184
00:59:52,480 --> 00:59:56,520
Speaker 14: to live. Manufacturers have struggled to put content to reach

1185
00:59:56,560 --> 00:59:59,959
Speaker 14: potential consumers. And by the way, if you're a gun company, Scott,

1186
01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:03,120
Speaker 14: you can't run ads on social media at all. And

1187
01:00:03,160 --> 01:00:06,680
Speaker 14: so we're trying to create something that serves three groups,

1188
01:00:06,960 --> 01:00:10,480
Speaker 14: one being the manufacturers, to be in the firearms creators

1189
01:00:10,480 --> 01:00:14,680
Speaker 14: because they take what the manufacturers produced, they make it cool, they.

1190
01:00:14,560 --> 01:00:16,200
Speaker 5: Test it out, they put it out.

1191
01:00:16,040 --> 01:00:18,000
Speaker 14: There for the consumer. Then for the consumer, we want

1192
01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:20,520
Speaker 14: them to be able to find things that they care about,

1193
01:00:20,560 --> 01:00:24,040
Speaker 14: whether it's ballistics, whether it's ammunition, different types of firearms,

1194
01:00:24,080 --> 01:00:26,880
Speaker 14: and also stuff that they can be entertained by to

1195
01:00:26,960 --> 01:00:29,520
Speaker 14: keep the Second Amendment alive for generations to come.

1196
01:00:30,560 --> 01:00:32,160
Speaker 2: Sure, Michael, I want to ask you about a couple

1197
01:00:32,200 --> 01:00:35,600
Speaker 2: of Second Amendment related stories for our Friday Punditry here.

1198
01:00:35,640 --> 01:00:37,880
Speaker 2: There is an interesting case going up to the Supreme

1199
01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:39,320
Speaker 2: Court related to gun rights.

1200
01:00:39,320 --> 01:00:40,320
Speaker 3: It's out of Hawaii.

1201
01:00:40,800 --> 01:00:44,080
Speaker 2: I think specifically there are private property issues involved. Are

1202
01:00:44,080 --> 01:00:46,480
Speaker 2: you following this case and how do you think it'll go?

1203
01:00:46,520 --> 01:00:49,040
Speaker 2: What can you tell our listeners about this case at

1204
01:00:49,040 --> 01:00:49,760
Speaker 2: the Supreme Court.

1205
01:00:50,720 --> 01:00:52,920
Speaker 14: I have been following this case Scott, and this is

1206
01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:56,520
Speaker 14: a major, major case. Now what I'm wondering is when

1207
01:00:56,560 --> 01:00:58,920
Speaker 14: the Supreme Court issues it's ruling, which I believe that

1208
01:00:59,080 --> 01:01:01,560
Speaker 14: the state will lose, and wonder if it will be

1209
01:01:01,600 --> 01:01:04,280
Speaker 14: specific to Hawaii only or if it will be written

1210
01:01:04,320 --> 01:01:08,640
Speaker 14: in a broad way for national implications, which would be significant.

1211
01:01:08,640 --> 01:01:10,720
Speaker 14: And I'm hoping it's the ladder of the two the

1212
01:01:10,760 --> 01:01:13,320
Speaker 14: Supreme Court. If you listen to the or organis, they

1213
01:01:13,400 --> 01:01:18,000
Speaker 14: basically cast doubt on Hawaii's bands on guns on private companies.

1214
01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:21,040
Speaker 14: For example, if you go on a restaurant in Hawaii,

1215
01:01:21,120 --> 01:01:23,960
Speaker 14: they're basically saying you can't bring a firearm and carry

1216
01:01:23,960 --> 01:01:27,240
Speaker 14: it concealed. So some nutjob decides to come into the

1217
01:01:27,280 --> 01:01:30,360
Speaker 14: restaurant because he got fired, or maybe it's some person

1218
01:01:30,360 --> 01:01:33,600
Speaker 14: who shouldn't be there and decides to cause harm to

1219
01:01:33,720 --> 01:01:37,160
Speaker 14: you or anyone in the restaurant, you are a fitting duck.

1220
01:01:37,520 --> 01:01:39,560
Speaker 14: And with the Supreme Court is saying, wait a minute,

1221
01:01:39,680 --> 01:01:41,960
Speaker 14: you need to tell us that a person has no

1222
01:01:42,160 --> 01:01:45,880
Speaker 14: right once they walk into Europe and establishment off the street.

1223
01:01:45,680 --> 01:01:46,520
Speaker 10: To defend themselves.

1224
01:01:46,560 --> 01:01:49,800
Speaker 14: So the right to defend ends once they're in a

1225
01:01:49,920 --> 01:01:50,680
Speaker 14: restaurant or.

1226
01:01:50,680 --> 01:01:51,920
Speaker 10: Any other public building.

1227
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:55,560
Speaker 14: That makes zero sense logically, And the Court again was

1228
01:01:55,680 --> 01:01:58,080
Speaker 14: very very skeptical. I think the state's going to lose.

1229
01:01:58,360 --> 01:02:00,840
Speaker 14: I'm hopeful that the ruling is extremely broad because that

1230
01:02:00,920 --> 01:02:02,840
Speaker 14: means that their implications.

1231
01:02:02,240 --> 01:02:03,120
Speaker 3: Of Washington, d c.

1232
01:02:03,800 --> 01:02:05,480
Speaker 14: Where we'd have to go to work, which have some

1233
01:02:05,520 --> 01:02:09,360
Speaker 14: of these strictest gun laws in the country, it's time

1234
01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:11,200
Speaker 14: to strike all of that nonsense down.

1235
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:14,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm looking at the Scotus blog website here.

1236
01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:16,720
Speaker 3: The case, by the way, is Walford v.

1237
01:02:16,960 --> 01:02:20,640
Speaker 2: Lopez, and according to the reporting, virtually all of the

1238
01:02:20,640 --> 01:02:24,360
Speaker 2: Court's six Republican appointees seem to agree with the challengers

1239
01:02:24,360 --> 01:02:28,280
Speaker 2: to the law which requires that gun owners obtain express

1240
01:02:28,400 --> 01:02:32,160
Speaker 2: permission from the property owner. And so your expectation is

1241
01:02:32,160 --> 01:02:35,440
Speaker 2: they're going to strike that down. A Chief Justice Roberts

1242
01:02:35,440 --> 01:02:38,320
Speaker 2: suggested in this reporting that recent cases show that the

1243
01:02:38,320 --> 01:02:42,600
Speaker 2: Second Amendment has unfairly been a disfavored right. And you

1244
01:02:42,600 --> 01:02:44,720
Speaker 2: know when I hear you talk about gun companies not

1245
01:02:44,760 --> 01:02:47,280
Speaker 2: being able to advertise, and you know, there's this sort

1246
01:02:47,280 --> 01:02:48,920
Speaker 2: of an anvil put on the head of people in

1247
01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:51,320
Speaker 2: this industry. I mean, it is the second Amendment in

1248
01:02:51,360 --> 01:02:53,880
Speaker 2: our Constitution, the right to keep in bear arms, and

1249
01:02:53,920 --> 01:02:56,760
Speaker 2: yet we treat it like it is somehow a lesser

1250
01:02:56,840 --> 01:02:59,840
Speaker 2: right or out of favor, even though it is literally

1251
01:03:00,160 --> 01:03:03,280
Speaker 2: shrined in our national governing documents. It seems like this

1252
01:03:03,360 --> 01:03:04,880
Speaker 2: court is going to try to turn that around.

1253
01:03:06,240 --> 01:03:08,600
Speaker 14: No, I think they are, and I'm happy the Constitution

1254
01:03:08,680 --> 01:03:11,560
Speaker 14: that those vice is clear the Second Amendment shall not

1255
01:03:11,920 --> 01:03:15,600
Speaker 14: be infringed. This is one particular thing I feel so

1256
01:03:15,800 --> 01:03:18,960
Speaker 14: strongly about Scott that I do not compromise on at all.

1257
01:03:19,040 --> 01:03:21,320
Speaker 14: I have no room to compromise. There's a POTENTI of

1258
01:03:21,360 --> 01:03:25,400
Speaker 14: the Second Amendment because we have seen in this country

1259
01:03:25,840 --> 01:03:29,560
Speaker 14: what occurs when the government has the upper hand. I'll

1260
01:03:29,600 --> 01:03:32,880
Speaker 14: give an example when radical Democrats in the South, and

1261
01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:35,160
Speaker 14: you just talked about this on CNN and debate with

1262
01:03:35,280 --> 01:03:39,200
Speaker 14: Julie Riginsky. You know, the Democrats were the pro Segregation Party.

1263
01:03:39,560 --> 01:03:42,680
Speaker 14: When those guys and gals during that time wanted to

1264
01:03:42,760 --> 01:03:46,560
Speaker 14: have control over Black Americans in the South, Scott, they

1265
01:03:46,640 --> 01:03:49,760
Speaker 14: made it almost impossible for any black person to own

1266
01:03:49,800 --> 01:03:52,480
Speaker 14: a gun. Well, why would they do that because they

1267
01:03:52,520 --> 01:03:55,000
Speaker 14: don't want you to have the means to defend yourself. Well,

1268
01:03:55,040 --> 01:03:58,680
Speaker 14: fast forward several decades later, you have the same radical

1269
01:03:58,720 --> 01:04:01,720
Speaker 14: ideology coming from Democrat right that do not want the

1270
01:04:01,760 --> 01:04:04,280
Speaker 14: American people to be able to defend themselves against the

1271
01:04:04,360 --> 01:04:07,200
Speaker 14: tyrannical governments. And they're making it and to go to further,

1272
01:04:07,560 --> 01:04:12,040
Speaker 14: they're making arguments using the black cold laws from the South.

1273
01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:15,520
Speaker 14: These are the arguments coming from Hawaii, Scott, and I

1274
01:04:15,560 --> 01:04:18,800
Speaker 14: couldn't believe that the Kanjie Brown Jackson, who look, she

1275
01:04:18,920 --> 01:04:21,280
Speaker 14: made history. I get it, people have their thoughts about her,

1276
01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:27,040
Speaker 14: but she actually acknowledged that argument. I was baffled by that.

1277
01:04:27,720 --> 01:04:29,800
Speaker 2: It was crazy that, you know, the last couple of

1278
01:04:29,840 --> 01:04:33,480
Speaker 2: weeks she Michael at the Supreme Court had been absolutely wild.

1279
01:04:33,760 --> 01:04:35,760
Speaker 2: You go back also to the arguments that happened the

1280
01:04:35,800 --> 01:04:39,040
Speaker 2: other day about the transgender sports case.

1281
01:04:39,080 --> 01:04:40,560
Speaker 3: The ACLU showed up over there.

1282
01:04:40,600 --> 01:04:44,280
Speaker 2: They couldn't even define, you know, what the gender is,

1283
01:04:44,360 --> 01:04:45,360
Speaker 2: what a woman is in.

1284
01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:46,080
Speaker 3: Front of the court.

1285
01:04:46,640 --> 01:04:49,880
Speaker 2: It's it's been some it's been weird, but it's been

1286
01:04:49,960 --> 01:04:51,920
Speaker 2: revealing in front of the Court and in front of

1287
01:04:51,960 --> 01:04:54,480
Speaker 2: Congress the left right now. Some of the arguments they're

1288
01:04:54,520 --> 01:04:57,200
Speaker 2: making on civil rights, the arguments they're making on gender,

1289
01:04:57,240 --> 01:05:00,680
Speaker 2: the arguments they're making on Second Amendments, they're really revealed

1290
01:05:00,880 --> 01:05:04,400
Speaker 2: right now, and I hope the American people are paying attention.

1291
01:05:04,480 --> 01:05:07,800
Speaker 2: Shermichael Singleton is my special guest for Friday Punditree.

1292
01:05:07,920 --> 01:05:08,840
Speaker 3: We're going to take a break.

1293
01:05:08,840 --> 01:05:11,360
Speaker 2: When we come back, more questions for sher Michael, Plus

1295
01:05:14,800 --> 01:05:17,200
Speaker 2: news about aches and pains. I want to share with

1296
01:05:17,240 --> 01:05:21,360
Speaker 2: you a comment from a satisfied customer of Relief Factor.

1297
01:05:21,880 --> 01:05:24,600
Speaker 2: This is the drug free supplement that has for thousands

1298
01:05:24,640 --> 01:05:28,160
Speaker 2: and thousands of people relieved their everyday pain. We have

1299
01:05:28,280 --> 01:05:30,880
Speaker 2: taken the time to talk to real life customers of

1300
01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:34,160
Speaker 2: Relief Factor and we're going to share their real stories

1301
01:05:34,240 --> 01:05:36,960
Speaker 2: about how Relief Factor work for them. Today we hear

1302
01:05:37,320 --> 01:05:39,200
Speaker 2: from Brian from Alabama.

1303
01:05:39,320 --> 01:05:39,800
Speaker 3: Roll the tape.

1304
01:05:39,880 --> 01:05:42,160
Speaker 15: Well, my name is Brian Dealatri and I started taking

1305
01:05:42,200 --> 01:05:44,720
Speaker 15: Relief Factor. It's just about a year ago, I was

1306
01:05:44,760 --> 01:05:47,200
Speaker 15: having chronic knee pain. Over time, it just got worse

1307
01:05:47,240 --> 01:05:50,280
Speaker 15: and worse. Just walking downstairs was painful. Well, since I've

1308
01:05:50,320 --> 01:05:53,520
Speaker 15: taken relief Factor, the results have been just amazing. I

1309
01:05:53,560 --> 01:05:56,200
Speaker 15: actually walked four miles a day, five to six days

1310
01:05:56,240 --> 01:05:59,560
Speaker 15: a week. No pain is all going downstairs for reactive

1311
01:05:59,560 --> 01:06:04,120
Speaker 15: playing God. It's been really just unbelievable in the change

1312
01:06:04,160 --> 01:06:07,120
Speaker 15: I've had in the pain in my knee. You know,

1313
01:06:07,240 --> 01:06:09,840

Speaker 15: gives relief Factor a try, and I guarantee you if

Speaker 2: We'll get home to Kentucky tonight after we finish this show.

1331
01:06:59,360 --> 01:07:01,920
Speaker 2: And I guess, Michael, I gotta get over to the

1332
01:07:02,440 --> 01:07:05,840
Speaker 2: office by four o'clock today and do some casey hunt

1333
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:09,440
Speaker 2: punditry on CNN at four and then back to the airport.

1334
01:07:09,560 --> 01:07:09,720
Speaker 5: Man.

1335
01:07:09,720 --> 01:07:11,360
Speaker 3: There's no rest for the weary, all right.

1336
01:07:11,400 --> 01:07:17,360
Speaker 2: Shermichael Singleton is our special guest CNN conservative punditrmand noted

1337
01:07:17,520 --> 01:07:21,640
Speaker 2: Second Amendment enthusiast and defender. Shermichael, we have a tradition

1338
01:07:21,720 --> 01:07:25,160
Speaker 2: here on Friday Punditry, we ask our special guest pundit

1339
01:07:25,720 --> 01:07:28,760
Speaker 2: who is the winner of the week?

1340
01:07:29,160 --> 01:07:31,640
Speaker 3: Tell us who won the week? In politics?

1341
01:07:32,080 --> 01:07:34,760
Speaker 14: Who won the week are Republicans and the Second Amendment

1342
01:07:34,880 --> 01:07:37,680
Speaker 14: because they are Republican governors with the help of the

1343
01:07:37,760 --> 01:07:42,640
Speaker 14: Trump administration, Deputy AG Todd blanche A g Harmey Dylan

1344
01:07:42,720 --> 01:07:45,680
Speaker 14: at the DOJ who are protecting this foundational right.

1345
01:07:48,160 --> 01:07:51,760
Speaker 2: All right, Republicans are the winner of the week. But

1346
01:07:51,880 --> 01:07:54,000
Speaker 2: you know it is kind of interesting, by the way,

1347
01:07:54,400 --> 01:07:57,600
Speaker 2: we were discussing this the other day what's going on

1348
01:07:57,640 --> 01:08:01,800
Speaker 2: in Virginia, by the way, with Second Amendment issues and

1349
01:08:01,840 --> 01:08:06,640
Speaker 2: other issues. Man, when Democrats get power, they really reveal themselves.

1350
01:08:06,640 --> 01:08:08,720
Speaker 2: And the new governor of Virginia is supposedly a moderate.

1351
01:08:08,800 --> 01:08:11,720
Speaker 2: That's how they pitched it in the campaign. There's no moderation,

1352
01:08:11,920 --> 01:08:14,040
Speaker 2: and you live in Virginia, there's no moderation over there

1353
01:08:14,080 --> 01:08:14,439
Speaker 2: at all.

1354
01:08:15,200 --> 01:08:18,840
Speaker 14: There's no moderation. Scott, she lied and the mainstream media

1355
01:08:18,880 --> 01:08:20,479
Speaker 14: that defended her lied.

1356
01:08:20,920 --> 01:08:21,360
Speaker 5: This Moman.

1357
01:08:21,479 --> 01:08:23,160
Speaker 14: Let me just give your audience a quick example of

1358
01:08:23,200 --> 01:08:26,160
Speaker 14: what's coming. Thirteen new gun grabbing bills five hundred dollars

1359
01:08:26,200 --> 01:08:29,040
Speaker 14: stamp on suppressors, despite the fact that President Trump just

1360
01:08:29,080 --> 01:08:32,640
Speaker 14: signed the law bringing that to zero dollars. Banning on

1361
01:08:32,840 --> 01:08:35,920
Speaker 14: AR fifteen's which they call assault rifles, bannon on short

1362
01:08:35,920 --> 01:08:38,880
Speaker 14: bill shotguners, you have to show your ID to buy ammunition,

1363
01:08:39,120 --> 01:08:41,559
Speaker 14: and Scott, it gets even crazier. If you're an uber driver,

1364
01:08:41,920 --> 01:08:43,680
Speaker 14: your taxes are going to go up. If you make

1365
01:08:43,760 --> 01:08:45,880
Speaker 14: so much money, your taxes are going to go up.

1366
01:08:45,880 --> 01:08:48,680
Speaker 14: So they are being oppressive to people who want to

1367
01:08:48,720 --> 01:08:51,800
Speaker 14: work hard and people who have success. That is the

1368
01:08:51,840 --> 01:08:55,200
Speaker 14: Democratic message of twenty twenty six. They are anti progress,

1369
01:08:55,240 --> 01:08:57,880
Speaker 14: anti success, and the Republican message is that we want

1370
01:08:57,920 --> 01:08:59,880
Speaker 14: everybody in this country who works hard, who are here

1371
01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:01,320
Speaker 14: legally to thrive.

1372
01:09:02,360 --> 01:09:03,880
Speaker 3: You know what else is crazy over there.

1373
01:09:03,920 --> 01:09:06,800
Speaker 2: At the same time, they are trying to restrict your

1374
01:09:06,960 --> 01:09:11,320
Speaker 2: gun rights as law abiding gun owners. The Democrats, these

1375
01:09:11,320 --> 01:09:15,439
Speaker 2: newly elected Democrats in Virginia are simultaneously trying to reduce

1376
01:09:16,080 --> 01:09:20,799
Speaker 2: penalties on heinous criminals, people who have committed all sorts

1377
01:09:20,800 --> 01:09:24,280
Speaker 2: of crimes they are trying so they're doing for criminals.

1378
01:09:24,280 --> 01:09:26,400
Speaker 2: They're trying to get criminals back out on the street

1379
01:09:27,200 --> 01:09:29,920
Speaker 2: at the same time taking away your right to defend yourself.

1380
01:09:29,920 --> 01:09:33,439
Speaker 2: It's I mean, that is basically the democratic worldview. It

1381
01:09:33,439 --> 01:09:36,439
Speaker 2: ought to frighten every law abiding taxpayer in Virginia and

1382
01:09:36,439 --> 01:09:37,200
Speaker 2: anywhere else.

1383
01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:38,599
Speaker 3: That's got a Democrat governor right now.

1384
01:09:39,360 --> 01:09:41,439
Speaker 14: But Scott, let me tell you this, it doesn't even

1385
01:09:41,479 --> 01:09:45,000
Speaker 14: get as worse as that, my friend. When Abigail Spamberger

1386
01:09:45,080 --> 01:09:48,040
Speaker 14: was sworn in as governor, the first thing she did

1387
01:09:48,400 --> 01:09:51,400
Speaker 14: signing into law was that the state of Virginia would

1388
01:09:51,439 --> 01:09:54,479
Speaker 14: not work with the federal government and ICE to remove

1389
01:09:54,600 --> 01:09:58,519
Speaker 14: illegal immigrants. So who cares if people are raping people's daughters,

1390
01:09:58,680 --> 01:10:00,880
Speaker 14: who cares if an illegal in m It gets behind

1391
01:10:00,880 --> 01:10:03,759
Speaker 14: the car drug driving, hits an innocent family and kills

1392
01:10:03,800 --> 01:10:07,240
Speaker 14: all four of them. These people do not care. They're

1393
01:10:07,280 --> 01:10:11,640
Speaker 14: more interested and performative nonsense, and they're more interested in

1394
01:10:11,680 --> 01:10:14,760
Speaker 14: defending people who aren't here legally than defending the dorm

1395
01:10:14,800 --> 01:10:17,640
Speaker 14: people who pay their taxes. If that isn't enough to

1396
01:10:17,720 --> 01:10:21,040
Speaker 14: mobilize people to get their butts up this year and

1397
01:10:21,120 --> 01:10:23,920
Speaker 14: vote Republican, I don't know what Nahillolse Will Scott. We

1398
01:10:23,960 --> 01:10:26,080
Speaker 14: got to save this country, my friend, because there's too

1399
01:10:26,120 --> 01:10:28,519
Speaker 14: many people who are hell been on destroying it and

1400
01:10:28,560 --> 01:10:29,840
Speaker 14: we can't allow that to happen.

1401
01:10:30,680 --> 01:10:32,839
Speaker 2: All right, she Michael, you're fired up on this Friday.

1402
01:10:33,120 --> 01:10:35,360
Speaker 2: I like it very much. And now it's my job.

1403
01:10:35,439 --> 01:10:37,360
Speaker 2: It's my job to pick the loser of the week.

1404
01:10:37,400 --> 01:10:39,680
Speaker 2: You picked the winner. I've got a long list of

1405
01:10:39,720 --> 01:10:42,799
Speaker 2: possible losers here. You know, Chris Guomo is a loser.

1406
01:10:42,920 --> 01:10:45,839
Speaker 2: This kid I was on TV the other night, Cameron CASKI,

1407
01:10:46,200 --> 01:10:49,760
Speaker 2: he's kind of a loser. Tim Walls, he's on a

1408
01:10:49,800 --> 01:10:54,160
Speaker 2: long losing streak. Jack Smith truthfully kind of a loser

1409
01:10:54,200 --> 01:10:57,560
Speaker 2: this week. But I'm going to go with Michael fanone

1410
01:10:57,600 --> 01:11:01,679
Speaker 2: the former Capitol Hill police officer. He got famous because

1411
01:11:01,680 --> 01:11:04,679
Speaker 2: he was a Capitol Hill police officer. On January the sixth,

1412
01:11:05,160 --> 01:11:07,479
Speaker 2: he was for a brief time a CNN contributor. You

1413
01:11:07,520 --> 01:11:09,479
Speaker 2: see him pop up in the media all the time

1414
01:11:10,040 --> 01:11:13,720
Speaker 2: in recent weeks, and this week yesterday in fact, you

1415
01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:18,680
Speaker 2: have seen him go into profane tirades and trying to

1416
01:11:18,760 --> 01:11:22,679
Speaker 2: start altercations in situations. And the reason I am going

1417
01:11:22,680 --> 01:11:26,200
Speaker 2: to designate Finon as the loser of the week is

1418
01:11:26,240 --> 01:11:28,880
Speaker 2: because even though he's been portrayed as someone that you

1419
01:11:28,880 --> 01:11:32,160
Speaker 2: should trust when it comes to discussion of law enforcement

1420
01:11:32,200 --> 01:11:36,200
Speaker 2: issues and even political issues, it's pretty obvious to me. Shehermichael,

1421
01:11:36,880 --> 01:11:39,400
Speaker 2: he didn't really have the temperament to be a police

1422
01:11:39,439 --> 01:11:43,160
Speaker 2: officer in the first place. And that's that's not my conjecture,

1423
01:11:43,200 --> 01:11:45,880
Speaker 2: that's what we can see with our own eyes. Sure,

1424
01:11:45,960 --> 01:11:48,120
Speaker 2: Michael Singleton, thanks for coming on the show. We'll have

1425
01:11:48,160 --> 01:11:50,240
Speaker 2: you back in a few weeks for more Friday punditry.

1426
01:11:50,280 --> 01:11:52,519
Speaker 2: I'm headed over to CNN. We'll see at for Eastern

1427
01:11:52,560 --> 01:11:55,880
Speaker 2: on Casey Hunt, and back here Monday. More common sense

1428
01:11:55,920 --> 01:11:59,559
Speaker 2: for the American people next week. Stay warm out there

1429
01:11:59,600 --> 01:12:07,960
Speaker 2: and get you show your snow shovel, see it, Yeah,
