Speaker 5: Welcome to The Scott Jenning Show.

12
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: Vice President Vance on his way to Pakistan. Will these

13
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,599
Speaker 1: talks with Iran actually happen? We bring you the latest.

14
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: The Artemis two mission ends tonight. We talked to an

15
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 1: astronaut today about what it's like to re enter Earth's

16
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: atmosphere after several days in space.

17
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 2: Illegal aliens committing horrible crimes.

18
00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 1: We have details on stories from Virginia and Florida that

19
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: you don't want to miss. It is Friday, April the tenth.

20
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 1: This is common sense for the American people. I'm Scott

21
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 1: Jennings Broadcasting for Salem and we are live today on

22
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: the campus of the University of Austin in Austin, Texas.

23
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 1: This university is a great partner of the Scott Jennings Show.

24
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: It's a wonderful new university concept here, and it's based

25
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 1: on one thing, merit.

26
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 2: That's what they do here.

27
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:26,199
Speaker 1: They admit students based on test scores and they train

28
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 1: them up for life in the real world. I want

29
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:30,839
Speaker 1: you to listen to this from the University of Austin

30
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: website quote. Our founding fathers were scholars and entrepreneurs, men

31
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 1: who read Cicero and ran businesses, who debated philosophy and

32
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 1: built a nation.

33
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 2: We're forming that kind of leader again.

34
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: So if you have a smart kid looking for a

35
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: new kind of university setting, my advice, take a look

36
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: at the University of Austin UATX. We call it if

37
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: you get in. By the way, tuition is totally free.

38
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: I also want to thank the Texas Public Policy Foundation

39
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: for having me down to Austin this morning. I made

40
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: a speech to them about defending Western civilization.

41
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 2: It's a great group.

42
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: I'm very appreciative of the chance to be in Texas

43
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: and to speak to so many fellow conservatives and patriots.

44
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 2: On this day in history.

45
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 1: Nineteen thirteen, the New York Islanders became the New York Yankees,

46
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: and they played their first game under that nickname, losing

47
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: to the Washington Senators. The winning pitcher that day, by

48
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: the way, future Hall of Famer Walter Johnson. President Woodrow

49
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: Wilson throughout the first pitch. As for today's news, at

50
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,799
Speaker 1: this hour, the ceasefire with Iran is still holding and

51
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 1: Vice President Jade Vance is on his way to Pakistan

52
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: to lead the high stakes peace negotiations, and he has

53
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: some optimism. Let's listen to the Vice President here and

54
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:49,119
Speaker 1: cut number two.

55
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 3: We're looking forward to the negotiation.

56
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 6: I think it's going to be positive.

57
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 3: We'll, of course see, as the President of the United.

58
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 6: States said, if the Iranians are willing to negotiate in

59
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 6: good faith, we're certainly willing to extend the open hand.

60
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 6: If they're going to try to play us, then they're

61
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 6: gonna find that the negotiating team is not that receptive.

62
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 6: So we're going to try to have a positive negotiation.

63
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 6: The President has gave us some pretty clear guidelines and

64
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 6: we're gonna see.

65
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 5: So I hope you guys have a safe flight.

66
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 6: We'll certainly take some questions later on, but for now,

67
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 6: let's get on the plane and hit the road.

68
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 2: Thank you all, all right? Advice President advance on his way.

69
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: On the other hand, Iran is restricting the strait of

70
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 1: horror moves. Now, the President has posted on truth social quote,

71
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: Iran is doing a very poor job, dishonorable, some would say,

72
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: of allowing oil to move through the strait of horror moves.

73
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: That is not the agreement we have end quote from

74
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: the President, and this is troubling. The State Department has

75
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: revealed that Iranian backed terrorist proxies attempted to ambush US

76
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: diplomats in Baghdad on the very first day of the ceasefire.

77
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 2: Not exactly a sign of good faith.

78
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: But as for now, the meetings are a go and

79
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,839
Speaker 1: Pakistan dvances on his way.

80
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 2: We'll see if any of this leads to an outcome

81
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 2: that we.

82
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: Can live with here in the West, say Iran with

83
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: no nuclear weapons and Iran defanged as a state sponsor

84
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: of terror that can threaten America. Now to the astronauts,

85
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: tonight they come home. Artemis two is nearing a critical

86
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 1: phase during this hour at one fifty Eastern. In fact,

87
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: the crew will configure the Orion spacecraft for re entry

88
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: splash down in the Pacific, set for around eight oh

89
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: seven eastern tonight, just off the coast of San Diego.

90
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 1: They say that when the Orion spacecraft re enters the atmosphere,

91
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: folks on the coast there may be able to hear

92
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 1: a sonic boom and that windows could be rattling. Pilot

93
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: Victor Glover says he has been looking forward to this moment,

94
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: the triumphant return of the Artemis two crew cut number

95
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: twenty three.

96
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 7: I've actually been thinking about entry since April third, twenty

97
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 7: twenty three, when we got assigned to this mission, and

98
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 7: one of the first press conferences we were asked what

99
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 7: are we looking forward to, and I said, splash down.

100
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,679
Speaker 7: And it's kind of humorous, but it's literal as well

101
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 7: that we have to get back. There's so much data

102
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,359
Speaker 7: that you've seen already, but all the good stuff is

103
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 7: coming back with us. There's so many more pictures, so

104
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 7: many more stories, and gosh, I haven't even begun to

105
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 7: process what we've been through.

106
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 2: Coming up.

107
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: During the show today, we talked to astronaut Jeffrey Williams,

108
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: who himself spent hundreds of days in space, about what

109
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: it's like to come home to Earth after being in

110
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: outer space for several days. Following up on this one

111
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 1: for you, remember the story of the nineteen year old

112
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 1: high school kid in Fairfax County, Virginia, the illegal alien

113
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: they let attend high school. There this guy who was

114
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: accused of groping and sexually assaulting numerous teenage girls in

115
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: the high school.

116
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 2: Israel Flores or Teas is.

117
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: His name, and he's now been convicted on nine charges

118
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 1: of assault.

119
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 2: For end of the show.

120
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: WJLATV reporter Nick Minnock has been on this story from

121
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 1: the beginning.

122
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 2: Let's listen to his report and cut twenty seven.

123
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 8: It's been a big day for the victims in this case,

124
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 8: who say that Ortiz groped them in the hallways at

125
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 8: Fairfax High School, touching their private parts in the front

126
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 8: and in the back.

127
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 5: It's been a long day for them.

128
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,239
Speaker 8: They got here in the morning and the court hearing

129
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 8: just wrapped up here around six thirty. Ortiz has a

130
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 8: sentencing hearing later this month, so we'll see how much time,

131
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 8: if any, he will serve beyond what he has already

132
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 8: served in jail. He's been in jail for several weeks

133
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 8: now because of these incidents.

134
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 1: Let's take a listen to one of the victims. Nick

135
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: interviewed her and cut number twenty four.

136
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 9: I didn't have to look around who was like, you know,

137
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 9: who just like seemed to be on like the I

138
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 9: didn't have to look around and make sure.

139
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 5: I'm sure that nobody was going to touch me.

140
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: In les scroping young teenage girls in Virginia.

141
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 2: And here's another one.

142
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: An illegal immigrant in Florida bludgeting a mother to death

143
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: with a hammer, striking her at least six times outside

144
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: of a gas station in broad daylight in what investigators

145
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: are calling a targeted and planned attack. The surveillance video

146
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: here is shocking and horrifying. I'm not going to show

147
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: it to you, but you should be shocked and horrified. Now,

148
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: President Trump has shared that video with the world, posting

149
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: it on on true social and he added this statement,

150
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: this is from the President, and I quote, never forget

151
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: that Joe Biden and the Democratic Party turned the United

152
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: States of America into a dumping ground, allowing tens of

153
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: millions all over the world to pour into our country

154
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: totally unvetted and unchecked through our wide open borders. The

155
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: Department of Homeland Security, by the way, has confirmed that

156
00:07:58,080 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 1: the suspect.

157
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 2: Here, who is from Haiti. Is named Robert Woquin.

158
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: He entered the country illegally in August of twenty twenty two.

159
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: A federal judge issued a final order of removal that

160
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: same year, but instead of being deported, he was granted

161
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: temporary protected status, which then expired in twenty twenty four.

162
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 2: That's how the system works.

163
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: Democrats told the worst people in the world, just get here,

164
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,679
Speaker 1: and we'll do everything in our power to keep you here.

165
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 2: And then what happens.

166
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 1: Florida mothers get beaten to death on the street in

167
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: broad daylight with a hammer. We do not have to

168
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: live this way. It is a choice, in fact to

169
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: live this way. We can stop making it anytime we

170
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 1: want to. Inflation news, the financial markets were bracing for

171
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: a rough report this morning, but some of these numbers

172
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: came in as expected, and the core inflation number, well,

173
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: it was actually lower than experts thought. Here's how they

174
00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: called it over on Fox Business and cut number four, infecting.

175
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,439
Speaker 10: This report to look like March consumer price index a

176
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 10: month of a month. We got a jump of nine

177
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 10: tenths of a percent. That was the expectation going into

178
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 10: this report for March year over year. Headline number three

179
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 10: point three percent. Again, that was the expectation. Core month

180
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 10: over month two tenths of a percent. We were looking

181
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 10: for three tenths of a percent. So actually the core

182
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 10: month over a month coming in just a little bit

183
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 10: better than expected. And then core year over year also

184
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 10: a little bit better than expected.

185
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 5: Two point six percent.

186
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:35,199
Speaker 10: We were looking for a gain of two point seven percent.

187
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: Inflation reports today better than expected. This is Scott Jennings.

188
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 1: You're listening to common sense for the American people. We

189
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 1: broadcast live today from Austin, Texas. We're at the University

190
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: of Austin UATX they call it, and we're grateful for

191
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: the hospitality. Let's get a word in here from our

192
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 1: friends at Relief Factor. Our founders believed that freedom wasn't

193
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: just a word, it is fact a way of life,

194
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: the freedom to move forward, to pursue what matters most,

195
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 1: to live your life fully. But pain has a way

196
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 1: of taking away that freedom, doesn't it. That's why Relief

197
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: Factor exists. You know, we like it in the Jennings household.

198
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: A great experience with a Relief Factor, and you should

199
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: know it is one hundred percent drug free.

200
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 2: It is a research based.

201
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 1: Supplement designed to help support a healthy inflammatory response. It

202
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 1: addresses pain at the source, it does not simply cover

203
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 1: it up. Over a million Americans have found relief and

204
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: reclaim parts of their life they thought were long gone.

205
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: So this year, as we celebrate two hundred and fifty

206
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: years of freedom in America, ask yourself a simple question.

207
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: Are you as free as you deserve to be? Relief

208
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: Factor gives you the opportunity to be free to live

209
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 1: pain free. My advice try the three week quick start.

210
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,439
Speaker 1: You get it at relief factor dot com or by

211
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: calling one eight hundred and four release and it is

212
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: nineteen dollars in ninety five cents.

213
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 2: I cannot recommend it more highly. You have nothing to lose.

214
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: Coming up, we'll talk about Iran and NATO on the

215
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: Scott Shetting Show here on Salem.

216
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 2: Stay with us.

217
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: Gold and silver recently soared to record highs and then

218
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: pulled back, So our precious metal still a goodbye. Many

219
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: Wall Street experts predict higher prices ahead. Why well, because

220
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: we still have trillions in national debt, a declining dollar,

221
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: and inflation that keeps shrinking our savings. Even with corrections

222
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: along the way, Gold remains a historical hedge for wealth protection.

223
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: That's why Morgan Stanley's chief investment officer ditched the sixty

224
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 1: forty stocks and bonds portfolio and is recommending up to

225
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: twenty percent in precious medals.

00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 2: Joining US now.

242
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: Brent Sadler, a Heritage Senior Research Fellow and former retired

243
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 1: Davy captain twenty six years in the Navy, the author

244
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: of a couple of books including the recent book called

245
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: Naval Power and Action. Brent, your inaugural appearance here on

246
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 1: the Scott Jenny Show.

247
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 2: Welcome in, my friend.

248
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 11: Thank you very much for me on Scott.

249
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: You're really glad you're here. We've got a lot of

250
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,559
Speaker 1: questions for you. Let me just start here. Do you

251
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: think the Iranians can be negotiated with? Are they going

252
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 1: to deal in good faith? Can we trust anything that

253
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 1: comes out of these meetings in Pakistan?

254
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 11: The short answer is no on good faith and trust.

255
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 12: But you can negotiate, but you have to negotiate with

256
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 12: players like the Iranians from a position of strength and

257
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 12: a willingness to exercise that military lever hammer as soon

258
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 12: as you start to doubt their sincerity. And I think

259
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 12: we're getting close to that being called very soon.

260
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: Well, you've talked about military strength, we've already demonstrated some.

261
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: In fact, let's listen to the White House Press Secretary

262
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 1: Caroline Levitt talking about all the destruction that we've wrought

263
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:46,239
Speaker 1: against the Iranians.

264
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 2: Cut number twenty six, please.

265
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 13: The Iranian naval navy was completely annihilated. The United States

266
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 13: destroyed more than one hundred and fifty naval vessels in total,

267
00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 13: including sixteen entire classes of Iranian warships. Despite once being

268
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,839
Speaker 13: the largest undersea force in the Middle East, Iran now

269
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 13: has zero submarine vessels. Ninety seven percent of Iran's once

270
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 13: massive inventory of more than five thousand naval minds has

271
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,119
Speaker 13: also been targeted and destroyed.

272
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: Okay, we've taken out, according to the administration Brent, a

273
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: lot of their military capacity, but yet they still have

274
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: the ability to put a chokehold on the Strait of Hormus.

275
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 2: Talk to us a little bit about that.

276
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 11: Yeah, So there's a couple of things on this.

277
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 12: It's not the fact that the Iranians have a military

278
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 12: capacity to sink ships in the straits or her moves

279
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 12: that's getting us to this situation where shipping's not going through.

280
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 12: It has to do with confidence that the shipping can

281
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 12: pass through there.

282
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 11: And also what you're.

283
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 12: Seeing this reflected and is in high insurance rates which

284
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 12: have gone up astronomically on speculation by the eight or

285
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 12: so underwriters in London for the type of expenses if

286
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 12: the the Iranians, We're able to get a lucky shot. Now,

287
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 12: much of the damage has been very minor. There's one

288
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 12: that was an anchored ship that got hit by drone

289
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 12: boats laden with explosives.

290
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 11: That was a total loss, but it didn't sink.

291
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 12: But I think it's getting to the point now where

292
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 12: we're gonna have to call ouran's bluff. If has been

293
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 12: stated that we've decimated or destroyed largely their capability, it's

294
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 12: time now to basically call their bluff and their last

295
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 12: bit of leverage and sail through the Straits of Hormos

296
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 12: and perhaps protect through an overwatch tankers as they go

297
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 12: through from the air and marines on board.

298
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 1: Talking with Brent Sadler from the Heritage Foundation, a twenty

299
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: six year veteran of the United States Navy, Brent, let's

300
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 1: talk about NATO. President Trump is very unhappy with NATO.

301
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: He doesn't think they've been cooperative enough or in some

302
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: cases at all with our request to assist.

303
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 2: With this war against Iran.

304
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: How do you see the future of the NATO alliance

305
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: in light of what's happened here with this Operation Epic Fury.

306
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 12: Well, it's no surprise, but I think that the political

307
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 12: narrative lately kind of misses the mark and focus on

308
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 12: the American side, and that's been true for far too long.

309
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 12: That it's something the United States needs to do, or

310
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 12: that we're the ones that are not the strong or

311
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 12: the worthy ally in this situation. Quite frankly, it's the

312
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 12: NATO countries, the European countries that.

313
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 11: Have not been pulling their fair share.

314
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 12: In the last year, you have even seen a plurality

315
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 12: of those meeting the twenty fourteen goal of two percent

316
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 12: of GDP on defense. Now given world events, that's gone

317
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 12: up to five percent, So still an uphill battle.

318
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 11: They have not been worthy allies.

319
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 12: They can't even defend themselves, and I think the wake

320
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 12: up call was Putin's second invasion of Ukraine back in

321
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 12: twenty twenty two. But they're still moving too slow, and

322
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 12: they've taken cheap domestic political shots by not allowing US

323
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 12: forces to have access to airspace to execute the operations

324
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 12: against Iran, which defends Europe. It's missile defense that's there

325
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 12: in Romanian and Poland does signed to defend against the

326
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 12: types of missiles the Iranians have launched, most recently with

327
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 12: the ranges that they say they don't have against Diego Garcia.

328
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's sort of ridiculous the NATO posture when you

329
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 1: consider that the Iranians, we've now revealed have been lying.

330
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,120
Speaker 1: You know, they said, oh, we only have short range missiles.

331
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,399
Speaker 1: We know they now have missiles that could reach most

332
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 1: of Europe. You throw some nuclear material on there, and

333
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 1: it's a major problem. And so it seems like NATO

334
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: ought to be more cooperative. I think Trump has a

335
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: point about all of this. That voice you're hearing today

336
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 1: Brent Sadler, a Heritage Senior Research fellow, a retired Navy captain,

337
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 1: twenty six years serving our nation, and he has a

338
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 1: book if you're interested in this sort of thing called

339
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 1: Naval Power in Action. Brent Sadler, thanks for your time today.

340
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 11: Thank you very much.

341
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 2: Scott all right, Brent Sadler, great guest, great expertise.

342
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 1: We'll have to have Brent Beck and see how after

343
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 1: all this happens this weekend and see what he thinks.

344
00:17:59,040 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 2: We're going to take a break.

345
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: When we come back, we turn our eyes to politics

346
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 1: in Virginia. Don't want to miss this conversation here on the.

347
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 4: Scott Jennys one man, I'm standing tall against the leftist mob.

348
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 5: Here's Scott Jennings.

349
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 1: It is Friday, April the tenth, broadcasting on the Road

350
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 1: today Austin, Texas. We're at the University of Austin and

351
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 1: we appreciate the hospitality here.

352
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:21,719
Speaker 2: At this amazing new university.

353
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 1: Coming up on April the twenty first, the people of

354
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: Virginia will vote on a new congressional map put forward

355
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 1: by Democrats in the state legislature and by the governor

356
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 1: there in sixty seconds. We talked to Congressman Morgan Griffiths

357
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 1: about that. He's out on the road turning out the

358
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: vote against this partisan jerrymandering. We'll get to him in

359
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 1: just a moment. First, a word from our friends at

360
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: child Help. It is Child Abuse Awareness Month, and every

361
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 1: single day you need to know, six children lose their

362
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 1: lives due to abuse or neglect, and this month is

363
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 1: a time to shine a light on the crisis that

364
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 1: often goes unseen until tragedy strikes. Most people don't realize

365
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 1: how common child abuse really is, how often it happens

366
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 1: behind closed doors. However, for nearly seven decades, Child Help

367
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,439
Speaker 1: has been on the front lines of prevention and healing,

368
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: working nationwide to protect children through education, advocacy centers, foster

369
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: care and adoption services, therapy, and of course, the twenty

370
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 1: four to seven National Child Abuse Hotline Listen. If something

371
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: doesn't feel right, you don't have to be certain to

372
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: reach out. Just one call to child Help's hotline can

373
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 1: save a child's life. Go to childhelp dot org to

374
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 1: learn the signs of child abuse, to find support, and

375
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 1: to be part of the solution.

376
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 2: Every child deserves a save childhood.

377
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: Every voice matters, and that's why I Scott Jennings, am

378
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 1: proud to endorse the efforts of Child Help. As we mentioned,

379
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: Virginia is about to vote on a new congressional map.

380
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 1: The new governor there, Democrat, Abigail Spanberger, said during her

381
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 1: campaign last year that she was against partisan jerry mandering.

382
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 1: She told voters she had no plans to change the

383
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 1: state's congressional map, which is currently six to five Democrat,

384
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: But once she was elected and became the governor, she

385
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 1: changed her mind. She's now all in on this ridiculous

386
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: new map, and she's all in on the campaign to

387
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,159
Speaker 1: take a purple state and give it a ten to

388
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 1: one congressional map in favor of the Democrats. It is

389
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 1: a bait and switch if there ever was one here

390
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 1: to discuss. Republican Congressman from Virginia's ninth District. Morgan Griffith

391
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 1: is here, Congressman. Welcome to the Scott Jennings Show. I

392
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 1: know you are out on the road in Virginia today

393
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 1: campaigning against this map. Tell us why the stakes are

394
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: so high in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

395
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 14: Well, the states are so high. Not only is it

396
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 14: the wrong thing to do for the constituents, but what

397
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 14: they're trying to do, and they've created all kinds of

398
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 14: goofy looking districts. What they're trying to do it was

399
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:04,400
Speaker 14: eliminate four of my Republican colleagues, and in the process,

400
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,160
Speaker 14: not worrying about the constituents, not worrying about the people

401
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 14: of Virginia. They've created such convoluted districts that the people

402
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 14: are not going to be served. Well, it doesn't matter

403
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 14: whether you're in a Democrat district or a Republican district.

404
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:20,120
Speaker 14: They've made these things look so bad and that makes

405
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 14: it hard for constituents to actually reach their representatives. It's

406
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 14: just wrong. It's bad government, and we're urging everybody to

407
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 14: vote no. I'm out on the road with Governor Younkin,

408
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 14: former Attorney General Jason Miirez and others.

409
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: Well, let's talk about the politics and the tactics here, Congressman.

410
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,640
Speaker 1: In the beginning of this referendum, it seemed like all

411
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,400
Speaker 1: the money was being spent by the Democrats and by

412
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 1: the governor on a yes vote, and it seemed like

413
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,120
Speaker 1: they had the momentum.

414
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 2: However, as we've gotten closer to a.

415
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: Day, we've seen money coming in for the no side,

416
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 1: We've seen organizing coming in for the no side, and

417
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,199
Speaker 1: there has even been some polling lately that shows the

418
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: people of Virginia may not be as hot to trot

419
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,360
Speaker 1: on this as the governor wants them to be. How

420
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 1: do you assess the state of the campaign just a

421
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 1: few days before election day?

422
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 14: Well, things are going very well in all fairness that

423
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:13,959
Speaker 14: a lot of Democrats are waking up and realizing this

424
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,439
Speaker 14: is bad government. It's bad for Virginia, it's bad for

425
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 14: the constituents, no matter where you are, no matter what

426
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 14: your political stripe, and they're voting no. And we won't

427
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 14: get all the Democrats, of course, we won't even get

428
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 14: a majority of them. But if we get fifteen to

429
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 14: twenty percent, we're going to win this thing. And I

430
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 14: think that we are going to do it. And in fact,

431
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 14: in liberal Blacksburg, Virginia. They had a meeting this week

432
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 14: and two Democrats stepped up to the plate and gave

433
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 14: the people who were attending reasons why they should be

434
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:42,239
Speaker 14: voting no. So we have Democrats, Independents, and Republicans all

435
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 14: out campaigning on the no side. We have the facts,

436
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 14: they have the money and the noise.

437
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: Tell us about your district, would it be affected if

438
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: this referendum passes, what happens to your.

439
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 14: Seat, Well, it will be affected. My district goes an

440
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 14: additional eighty seven miles north, it gets even bigger than

441
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:02,959
Speaker 14: it is now. It's currently bigger than nine states by

442
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:06,400
Speaker 14: land mass, and it'll get even bigger. That said, I'm

443
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 14: the one, so if this thing goes through, I'll be

444
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 14: the last Republican in Virginia in the United States Congress.

445
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,360
Speaker 14: I hope that doesn't happen. We have some great members.

446
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:18,959
Speaker 14: We have some people with a lot of influence in

447
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 14: Washington who can affect things for Virginia, like down in

448
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 14: the Newport News area where we have a huge shipbuilding operation.

449
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 14: If you have no Republicans down there, those shipbuilding operations

450
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 14: are probably going to go to Florida or Texas and

451
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 14: it's bad for Virginia.

452
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, Virginia has a tradition of being a purple state.

453
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 1: We did have a Republican governor there, Glenn Younkin. There's

454
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,400
Speaker 1: now a Democrat governor there. It goes back and forth

455
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,880
Speaker 1: a little bit. There's plenty of Republicans. I mean, it's

456
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 1: a purple state, maybe slight tilt to the Democrats, but

457
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 1: certainly nowhere near the ten to one ratio that this

458
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 1: congressional map would put forward. What are you hearing when

459
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: you're just out and about you mentioned a couple of

460
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: Democrats are saying, wait a minute, this is bad government.

461
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: I assume the Republicans there are motivated. I mean off

462
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,639
Speaker 1: year elections, you know, things not happening on traditional election days.

463
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 1: If Republicans turn out and a few Democrats realize they've

464
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 1: gone way too far, a victory is within striking distance.

465
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 2: But energy, energy is what it takes.

466
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 14: Yeah, absolutely, there's no question about that. And we do

467
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 14: seem to have the energy. We've already done two rallies today.

468
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,439
Speaker 14: We've had, you know, a whole lot more people than

469
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 14: anybody expected to show up. We also are out voting

470
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,880
Speaker 14: in the early voting phase. We are out voting where

471
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,919
Speaker 14: we were last November in the gubinatorial race. People in

472
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 14: rural Virginia realize that they're the ones who are getting

473
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 14: skeewered the most. I would submit that even the people

474
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 14: in Fairfax are getting skewered by this plan because they're

475
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 14: dividing them up so much. But at the same time,

476
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 14: rural will be hurt more, and the rural areas are

477
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 14: turning out in larger numbers than we saw last year.

478
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 14: In the governor's race.

479
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 2: Let's talk about the new governor, Spamberger.

480
00:24:55,240 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 1: In addition to flip flopping and on this gerrymanderd redistioning referendum,

481
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: she's also, of course presented herself as a moderate during

482
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 1: the campaign, but since taking office has been interested in

483
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: tax increases and anti business regulations and all sorts of

484
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:15,679
Speaker 1: extreme left wing, you know, radical cultural ideas. Are you

485
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,439
Speaker 1: hearing from voters that you're running into that they feel

486
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,679
Speaker 1: duped by the governor? Has she already spent all of

487
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,199
Speaker 1: this political capital that she built up running as a

488
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:25,120
Speaker 1: moderate last year?

489
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 14: Yeah, she has spent a lot. She's she's basically got

490
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 14: the base Democrats and she's alienated a whole lot of

491
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 14: the other folks because she ran as a moderate. Now

492
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 14: those of us who knew her tried to tell people

493
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 14: that she's not the moderate that she's claiming to be.

494
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 14: In fact, I told one radio host that she is

495
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 14: the base. Quit saying that she's satisfying her base. She

496
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 14: is the base, and now she's showing her true colors.

497
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 14: She's not only doing the redistruting, she's rejoined the Greenhouse

498
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 14: gas scam initiative that a lot of the eastern states

499
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 14: you're in that's going to send another five hundred million

500
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 14: dollar bill to the rate Bay. In Virginia. She is

501
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 14: taking away gun rights. She's working to increase taxes on

502
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 14: all kinds of things. It is absolutely unbelievable. In the

503
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 14: people of Virginia are like, wait a minute, we thought

504
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:14,479
Speaker 14: we were getting a moderate who was going to work

505
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 14: on affordability. In what she's doing is making things calls

506
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:17,160
Speaker 14: from ola.

507
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 1: The other issue that I think has a lot of

508
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 1: Virginians really unhappy right now is this issue of immigration.

509
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: There has been a lot of violent illegal immigrant crime

510
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,160
Speaker 1: in the news coming out of Virginia, particularly in Northern Virginia.

511
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 1: Three of the four murders in Fairfax County this year

512
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 1: been committed by illegal aliens, and Governor Spanberger has signed

513
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 1: a bill and signed an order to stop the State

514
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 1: of Virginia, the Commonwealth of Virginia from cooperating with ICE.

515
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 1: Are you hearing about that from people that you're running

516
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: into out on the road.

517
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 14: Absolutely, people are very concerned about that. And she stopped

518
00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:00,200
Speaker 14: the state police and state agencies, but our share or

519
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:04,160
Speaker 14: constitutional officers and many of our sheriffs, at least in

520
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 14: the ninth District of Virginia are continuing their cooperation with ICE.

521
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 14: And we just had a sex offender who was caught

522
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 14: in Franklin County and the sheriff says, we're cooperating with

523
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:17,400
Speaker 14: ICE and we're trying to figure out what the next

524
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 14: step is. They're trying to determine how many times he's

525
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 14: been kicked out of the country before with any and

526
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 14: what actions they should take on the ICE side. But

527
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 14: they also want to make sure he pays for his crimes.

528
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, the stories coming out of Virginia are really it

529
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 1: seems like there's one every single day. There is also

530
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 1: this Democrat in Virginia named Steve Descano. He is the

531
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,879
Speaker 1: Fairfax County Attorney. He may in fact be the worst

532
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 1: district attorney in America, which is a high bar given

533
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 1: some of the blue areas out there. But it appears

534
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 1: to me that he is interested in protecting violent illegal

535
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:56,159
Speaker 1: aliens at all costs, and the costs include the life

536
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 1: and the safety and the property of American citizens in

537
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 1: northern Virginia.

538
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 2: What can be done.

539
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 1: About a rogue local prosecutor like this outside of kicking

540
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:07,439
Speaker 1: him out of office in an election?

541
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 2: Can anything be done?

542
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 1: Because it's it seems to me it's getting fairly dangerous

543
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:12,679
Speaker 1: up there in his jurisdiction.

544
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 14: Yeah, there's not a lot. There is a recall process

545
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,359
Speaker 14: in Virginia, but it's very difficult, and you have to

546
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 14: be able to show some malfeasance in the office. This

547
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:24,640
Speaker 14: might be enough, but you also have to get ten

548
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:26,639
Speaker 14: percent of the people who voted in the last election

549
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,880
Speaker 14: to sign a petition, and it is very difficult process.

550
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 14: It has happened a few times over the years, but

551
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 14: very rarely until you get to the next general election.

552
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 14: Do you have anything that you can do about a

553
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,719
Speaker 14: rogue prosecutor or any other constitutional officer.

554
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just shocking, I think to a lot of

555
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 1: people to think of Virginia as becoming a hotbed of

556
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 1: radical progressive activity. But between the governor and De'scano and

557
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 1: some of these other Democrats, that's exactly what you're getting.

558
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 1: We've got about a minute left here, Congressman. Let's shift

559
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 1: back focus to their re districting referendum. It's on the ballot.

560
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 1: People need to vote no. Give us the pitch here.

561
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 1: Tell us sixty seconds. If you're on the fence about this,

562
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 1: if you've you're not quite sure what the story is,

563
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: tell us why should people in Virginia turn down this

564
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 1: jerrymandard partisan map that sends Virginia dead.

565
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 2: To the left.

566
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 14: Well, what you should do is go and go on

567
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 14: the internet. Look up the map that was drawn by

568
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 14: the Supreme Court in an attempt to be fair, and

569
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 14: then look at the map drawn by politicians in the

570
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 14: back room in Richmond. They got drunk with power and

571
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 14: they created a map that is the worst in the

572
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 14: nation for jerrymandering. Accord to our according to one of

573
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 14: our nonpartisan reporters who did an analysis of all the states,

574
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 14: Virginia would be the worst jerrymandered state in the country

575
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 14: nine percent. We'll have a Republican out of the entire

576
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 14: state and forty eight point five percent in the last

577
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 14: congressional elections voted for Republicans, and now we'll only have

578
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 14: nine percent representation.

579
00:29:58,800 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's bad.

580
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 1: Govern It is partisan politics, nasty partisan politics. From a

581
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 1: governor who said she was a moderate, who said she

582
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 1: wasn't going to do this, it turns out she's an extreme,

583
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: radical liberal who is in fact, more than willing to

584
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 1: lie to people in Virginia all for the sake of

585
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 1: political power. I certainly join you in the effort to

586
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 1: tell Virginians vote no, vote against this terrible map that

587
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 1: has been put forward and wouldn't serve anyone's interests in

588
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 1: the Commonwealth of Virginia. Congressman Morgan Griffith, thanks for joining us.

589
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 1: Good luck on the campaign trail. We'll check in soon.

590
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 14: Thanks, don't you soon?

591
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 2: All right? Take care, sir.

592
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 1: Before we go to break, I need to tell you

593
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 1: a story about a man named Phineas who as a

594
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 1: child survived the Holocaust. He survived because Christians hid him

595
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 1: from the Nazis. They risked everything to save his life. Today,

596
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,479
Speaker 1: Phineas is in his eighties. He can no longer stand

597
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 1: on his own. He can't even leave his home for

598
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: medical care. And so when the sirens start to sound

599
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,239
Speaker 1: and the Holy Land, when the missiles are falling, and

600
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 1: they've fallen by the dozens over the last few days,

601
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 1: this man doesn't have time or the strength, frankly, to

602
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 1: get to safety. But once again Christians are stepping in

603
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 1: to help save his life. Through the International Fellowship of

604
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 1: Christians and Jews, a mobile clinic comes to his house.

605
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 1: It provides care that Phineas otherwise wouldn't receive. Phineas says,

606
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:27,479
Speaker 1: Christians saved my life during the Holocaust, and now again

607
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 1: they are helping me. As Israel's Holocaust Remembrance Day approaches,

608
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 1: remember these precious children of God by lifting them up

609
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 1: in prayer asking for his protection, his comfort, and his peace.

610
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 2: Stand with Israel.

611
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 1: Visit support IFCJ dot org. That is SUPPORTIFCJ dot org.

612
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 1: When we come back, I want to talk about Ben Sas.

613
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 1: We have some audio from him on the Scott Jenning Show.

614
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 2: Stay with us.

615
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 4: He's the author of the best selling book A Revolution

616
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 4: of Common Sense.

617
00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 2: Here's Scott Jennings, welcome back to the show.

618
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:06,479
Speaker 1: We close this hour with a sobering reflection from a

619
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 1: man that many Americans came to know in public life

620
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 1: and now are seeing in a very different light. It

621
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 1: is former Senator Ben Sass of Nebraska. He's opening up

622
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 1: about his battle with stage four pancreatic cancer, a diagnosis

623
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 1: that was in fact a death sentence for him. He

624
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 1: was diagnosed late last year, after the disease had already spread.

625
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 1: Sas has been undergoing experimental treatment that has bought him

626
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 1: some time. And what he is doing with that time, well,

627
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 1: what he is doing with it is showing us what

628
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 1: true faith in Jesus Christ looks like, even in the

629
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 1: face of death. The next three minutes is part of

630
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 1: a conversation that Senator Sas had with his friend Ross

631
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 1: Duthought at The New York Times, where he speaks candidly

632
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 1: about mortality, about family, about faith, and about what actually

633
00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 1: matters when time becomes finite.

634
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 2: Listen to this and cut thirty two.

635
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 15: I was.

636
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 16: Incredibly blessed to be quickly at peace. I kept hearing

637
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 16: the Pauline phrase to live as Christ, to die is gain,

638
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:19,480
Speaker 16: and death is terrible. I should never sugarcoat it. It

639
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 16: is not how things are meant to be, but it

640
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 16: is great that death can be called the final enemy.

641
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 16: It's an enemy, but it's a final enemy, and there

642
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 16: will then be no more tears. I believe in the resurrection,

643
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:37,719
Speaker 16: and I believe in a restoration of this world.

644
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 15: And so I did not.

645
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,479
Speaker 16: Feel great fear about my death. I didn't want the

646
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 16: pain I was going through. I didn't want to be

647
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 16: a pansy, you know, in the in the final moments,

648
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 16: I am I am doing that far. Oh thank you.

649
00:33:54,480 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 16: But I did immediately feel regrets about a lot of misprioritization.

650
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 16: You jokingly referred earlier to my podcast, which takes its

651
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 16: line from money Python not dead yet, We're all on

652
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:16,880
Speaker 16: the clock. And I wanted to have prioritized better. And

653
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:18,919
Speaker 16: whether I really only had three or four months left,

654
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 16: or if I get nine to twelve months left, I

655
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 16: want to prioritize better from then. But in my tradition

656
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 16: in Christianity that the need for daily repentance is just

657
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:36,439
Speaker 16: a truth. I am broken. I leave undone those things

658
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 16: which I ought to have done, and I do those

659
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 16: things which I have not done.

660
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 15: You know what, morphine and there.

661
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 5: Is no health in us.

662
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 16: And I get to repent every day of both my

663
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,319
Speaker 16: sins of omission and comission.

664
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 5: And yet at a slightly bigger level.

665
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 16: If you're only going to get three or four months,

666
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,239
Speaker 16: you really want to get some of your affairs in order.

667
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 16: And my boy was only fourteen, and I felt a heaviness.

668
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:06,319
Speaker 16: I knew that God wasn't surprised by the diagnosis. There

669
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:09,360
Speaker 16: is not a Maverick molecule in the universe. But I

670
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 16: didn't like the idea of my fourteen year old son

671
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 16: not having a dad around at sixteen. I didn't like

672
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:16,400
Speaker 16: the idea of my daughters, who are twenty two and

673
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 16: twenty four, not having their dad there to walk them

674
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 16: down the aisle. And I felt a real heaviness about that.

675
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 16: But I've continued to feel a piece about the fact

676
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 16: that death is something that we should hate, we should

677
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 16: call it a wicked thief. And yet it's pretty good

678
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:37,799
Speaker 16: that you pass through the veil of tears one time,

679
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:39,799
Speaker 16: and then there will be no more tears, there will

680
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 16: be no more cancer.

681
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 7: Can I ask how you think your kids are processing

682
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:46,440
Speaker 7: the experience.

683
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 16: They have a great mom, and they are theologically rooted,

684
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:55,879
Speaker 16: and their hope is in Jesus, and they all three

685
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 16: are doing really well. My girls are twenty two and

686
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 16: twenty for and I know that our conversations are the

687
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 16: true and accurate conversations. My fourteen year old son is

688
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:09,839
Speaker 16: gritty enough and tough enough that I think, even if

689
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 16: he wasn't doing well, he could probably fake it. So

690
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 16: I don't fully know, so I come at prayers on that,

691
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 16: but he seems to be doing well.

692
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:18,720
Speaker 2: That voice.

693
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 1: You've been listening to Ben Sas, former senator from Nebraska,

694
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 1: you know there's something else here, something worth noting in

695
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:30,360
Speaker 1: a moment like this, a reminder that beyond the headlines,

696
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 1: beyond the debates, beyond the constant churn of politics, all

697
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 1: of these people we talk about every day are human beings.

698
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 1: They face the same realities that we all face, the

699
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:44,800
Speaker 1: same fears, the same questions as everyone else. SaaS was

700
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 1: a conservative, a deep thinker, often willing to stand to

701
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 1: part even within his own party. And now he is

702
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:55,799
Speaker 1: confronting something far bigger than anything he ever faced in politics,

703
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:58,319
Speaker 1: and he's doing it, I think, with a kind of

704
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:02,440
Speaker 1: clarity that only really comes when everything else falls away.

705
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 2: It's a powerful read, a powerful listen.

706
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:06,359
Speaker 1: You can get it at the New York Times, and

707
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:10,759
Speaker 1: in this interview that he did with Ross is a sobering.

708
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,360
Speaker 2: Reminder of what really matters.

709
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 1: You're listening to Common Sense for the American People. I'm

710
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 1: Scott Jennings, broadcasting on Salem. We're gonna close out this hour,

711
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 1: take a break, and we have more breaking news right

712
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:27,320
Speaker 1: after this. It is Friday, April the tenth. Common Sense

713
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 1: for the American People. Scott Jennings is here on Salem.

714
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 1: We give you a quick check of the headlines. We

715
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:37,359
Speaker 1: start with politics news. Former Vice President Kamala Harris, who

716
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 1: lost to President Trump in twenty twenty four, says she

717
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 1: is in fact looking at running again in twenty twenty eight.

718
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 1: Take a listen here and cut number thirty three.

719
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 2: So are you going to run again in twenty Eightril?

720
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:59,319
Speaker 5: So, kig okay, and I tried to be subtle, but

721
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 5: I just I'd go right out. That is subtle as

722
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:06,719
Speaker 5: Revenue Sharpton could ever be. We love you for many things,

723
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:07,800
Speaker 5: but not being subtled.

724
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 11: Listen, I might, I might.

725
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:16,919
Speaker 5: I'm thinking about him.

726
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 2: I'm thinking about him.

727
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 1: This statement today comes as Kamala Harris in fact leads

728
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:27,799
Speaker 1: some polling for the Democratic nomination in twenty twenty eight.

729
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 1: This just in from the Trump White House. They have

730
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 1: formally unveiled designs for the President's planned two hundred and

731
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 1: fifty Triumphal Arch, and it would bear a golden inscription

732
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 1: quote one nation under God, and the arch would be

733
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 1: flanked by four golden lions. You can see these pictures

734
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 1: now filtering out on the internet. Pretty cool thing to

735
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:51,400
Speaker 1: drive under, I think, heading into Arlington National Cemetery. You

736
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 1: can bet there'll be some people who oppose it. And

737
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 1: we're just hours away from history. The Artemis two mission

738
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 1: pushing the boundaries of human space flight, sending astronauts farther

739
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 1: from Earth than ever before. We'll come to an end today,

740
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:09,000
Speaker 1: splashing down off the coast of San Diego shortly after

741
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:13,000
Speaker 1: eight o'clock Eastern tonight, around eighth seven in fact, and

742
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 1: joining us now a man who knows what it's like

743
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 1: to go up into space and come back, Colonel Jeffrey Williams,

744
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 1: a veteran astronaut, former International Space Station commander, and he's

745
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:28,720
Speaker 1: spent more than five hundred days in space across multiple missions. Colonel,

746
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,319
Speaker 1: we are honored to have you with us today. You've

747
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 1: spent more time in space than almost anyone. We're interested

748
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:36,719
Speaker 1: in your thoughts on the Artemis two mission. And what

749
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 1: this means for America's space program.

750
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:39,879
Speaker 2: Welcome to the show.

751
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:42,400
Speaker 15: Thank you, Scott.

752
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:44,759
Speaker 17: Great to be with you today, and it's a big

753
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:50,720
Speaker 17: day culminating this very important mission in the current chapter

754
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:52,240
Speaker 17: of human Exploration of space.

755
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:56,480
Speaker 1: What is it like on a human body when you've

756
00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 1: been up in space and you come back down and

757
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 1: you splash down in this cat So give us an

758
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 1: idea of the physical toll that'll take on the astronauts.

759
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:08,759
Speaker 17: Well, for a ten day flight, it won't be too bad,

760
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:10,880
Speaker 17: but they've been in weightlessness for ten days, and so

761
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:14,399
Speaker 17: you don't have your vestibular system that's working because it

762
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 17: relies on gravity. So you don't have that normal sense

763
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:20,399
Speaker 17: of balance that we have. And that's the biggest thing

764
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 17: you have to fight when you get back on the

765
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:26,319
Speaker 17: surface of the Earth is not having that balance. Of course,

766
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 17: in addition to that, you're not using your muscles even

767
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 17: to support your own body while you're up there, So

768
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:34,759
Speaker 17: it takes a lot of concerted effort to do just that.

769
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 17: Even picking up your arm after the motion stops in

770
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 17: the water. For these guys, it takes effort, and of

771
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 17: course the stand up takes a lot of muscle effort.

772
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:48,799
Speaker 17: That you haven't been used to using, and that in

773
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 17: combination with your loss of balance, makes it a little.

774
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 15: Bit challenging, but it's not that bad. You can overcome it.

775
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:58,800
Speaker 17: You get through it pretty quickly, and the human body

776
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:01,399
Speaker 17: adapts back to gravity pretty quick.

777
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 1: About how many days or weeks in recovery will the

778
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 1: astronauts be after they finish up tonight.

779
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 15: For aden day flight.

780
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:14,319
Speaker 17: I would expect there'll be a couple weeks or so

781
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:16,759
Speaker 17: in recovery, and of course then they'll have a lot

782
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 17: of debriefings that will continue on four weeks and even

783
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:23,839
Speaker 17: months after that. For a long duration flight, which was

784
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:27,440
Speaker 17: the standard was six months plus or minus on the

785
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:30,360
Speaker 17: Space station, it took about six weeks to recover from that.

786
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:33,800
Speaker 2: And talk to us about the heat.

787
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 1: We've heard a lot about the heat shield on the

788
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:38,239
Speaker 1: capsule and how hot this thing gets when you re

789
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 1: enter causes a sonic boom. They're talking about windows rattling

790
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,879
Speaker 1: off the coast of San Diego there, But this thing

791
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 1: gets really hot when you're inside the capsule.

792
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:49,280
Speaker 2: Will they be able to feel that intense heat?

793
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 17: They will probably feel the heat because they're in heavy

794
00:41:55,239 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 17: suits coming in most spacecraft environmental systems don't have the

795
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:05,440
Speaker 17: margins to maintain a nice and comfort coolness inside the

796
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 17: capsule anyway, so it'll heat up just over time with

797
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 17: human bodies in heavy suits. But then in addition, you

798
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:17,000
Speaker 17: got that five thousand degrees almost outside. Now they're going

799
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 17: to be coming in much steeper, much faster than we

800
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:22,839
Speaker 17: came in from the International Space Station, because they're coming

801
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 17: in from deep space. That's said twenty five thousand miles

802
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:29,000
Speaker 17: per hour, So it's that speed hitting the upper part

803
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:31,359
Speaker 17: of the atmosphere and the friction that it causes, which

804
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 17: produces that heat. Of course, the spacecraft is designed to

805
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:37,799
Speaker 17: protect the crew and get through the atmosphere.

806
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 15: You'd mentioned the heat shield.

807
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:41,880
Speaker 17: It's designed to do just that, get them down, slow

808
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:45,840
Speaker 17: down to a speed where then the parachute opening sequence

809
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:49,279
Speaker 17: can begin. First riding on the drug shoots for about

810
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:52,279
Speaker 17: a minute or so, and then that slows them down

811
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:54,960
Speaker 17: even more, and then the main choots come out and

812
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 17: go through their opening sequence, and then they'll drift down

813
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:02,400
Speaker 17: under those three main shoots too, to the surface, landing

814
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:04,160
Speaker 17: in the water about twenty miles an hour.

815
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:08,800
Speaker 1: That voice you're hearing on the show today, Colonel Jeffrey Williams,

816
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 1: who is one of the most experienced astronauts in the

817
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 1: history of mankind. We're grateful for a time today, Colonel

818
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:18,440
Speaker 1: I want to shift focus to look ahead. After this

819
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 1: Artemis mission ends. NASA is talking about actually stepping foot

820
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:27,239
Speaker 1: again on the lunar surface in twenty twenty eight. Is

821
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:29,719
Speaker 1: that a reasonable expectation? Is that a goal that we

822
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:30,360
Speaker 1: can meet.

823
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 17: Get the schedule and the resources dedicated to it and

824
00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:41,080
Speaker 17: the work that has to be done. Best case would

825
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:43,120
Speaker 17: be twenty twenty eight, I think, And that's the way

826
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:46,080
Speaker 17: we work programs. We put it out out there at

827
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:49,640
Speaker 17: best case and everybody works hard to meet that goal.

828
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:54,320
Speaker 17: Now we know historically program slip a little bit because

829
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:56,600
Speaker 17: not everything goes as smooth as you like. There's a

830
00:43:56,680 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 17: lot of work that has to be done. There's technology

831
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 17: still has to be developed. New spacecraft, specifically the Landers,

832
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:09,840
Speaker 17: which are contracted out to be provided under a commercial

833
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 17: type program through SpaceX and Blue Origin. They're still in development.

834
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 17: They now have to be accelerated that development a little

835
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 17: bit over say what they were assuming just a few

836
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:24,920
Speaker 17: months ago that the administration is accelerating the program, and

837
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:28,320
Speaker 17: if it doesn't happen in those two years.

838
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:30,440
Speaker 15: It'll happen within a couple of years after that.

839
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:35,560
Speaker 1: Anyway, Now, Colonel Williams, you have spoken openly about your

840
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:37,920
Speaker 1: own faith. I was hoping you might talk to us

841
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 1: a little bit about that. Being in space, you know,

842
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:43,680
Speaker 1: looking out the windows, seeing planet Earth so far away.

843
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:46,720
Speaker 1: How did your experience, I mean, you were in space

844
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:49,760
Speaker 1: over five hundred days. How did all of that impact

845
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:51,360
Speaker 1: your relationship with God?

846
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:57,439
Speaker 17: You know, I get that question often, and I will

847
00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 17: say that it did not impact my relationship directly with

848
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 17: God at all.

849
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:04,359
Speaker 15: And of course that sets people back.

850
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:07,919
Speaker 17: How can he say that, because our relationship with God

851
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:10,560
Speaker 17: is established through faith in Jesus Christ, and that's a

852
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 17: special revelation, not the general revelation.

853
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:15,120
Speaker 15: When you go to space, I mean, you get a

854
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:18,440
Speaker 15: very unique view of God's work of creation.

855
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 17: And I especially appreciate the vantage point of being off

856
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:26,800
Speaker 17: the planet to study the planet which is uniquely created

857
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:30,520
Speaker 17: for our habitation, we being the chron of His creation,

858
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:34,880
Speaker 17: bearing His image. Heaven said all that it deepens what

859
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:38,200
Speaker 17: you do know about the Creator and about our God

860
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:42,359
Speaker 17: revealed in Jesus Christ. When you have an experience like that,

861
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:48,120
Speaker 17: it magnifies the reality of all of the details, the

862
00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:52,000
Speaker 17: wonder of his creative work, the wonder of provisioning his work,

863
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:55,439
Speaker 17: the wonder of even being able to do what we do,

864
00:45:56,480 --> 00:46:01,400
Speaker 17: in this example, go into space, surviving there, and then returning.

865
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:05,759
Speaker 17: I get asked to talk on that topic a lot,

866
00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:10,840
Speaker 17: because there's a common perception, as you know, that science

867
00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:14,720
Speaker 17: and scripture are in conflict, and some would say always

868
00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:18,280
Speaker 17: have been in conflict. It's a thesis called the conflict pieces.

869
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:23,360
Speaker 17: I've studied that history. The opposite is actually true. The

870
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:26,560
Speaker 17: age of science that we know from history. You those

871
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:29,320
Speaker 17: scientists that we read about when we go through school,

872
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:34,319
Speaker 17: the Keplers, the Newtons, the Boils, the Maxwell's, the Faradays.

873
00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:37,040
Speaker 15: All those guys that have laws.

874
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 17: Named after them or mathematical equations named after them were theologians.

875
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:42,360
Speaker 15: First.

876
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:45,400
Speaker 17: They knew the scriptures, and they were driven by their

877
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:49,680
Speaker 17: Christian faith. They saw it as their calling and their

878
00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:52,279
Speaker 17: response to the dominion man they've given in the first

879
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:57,000
Speaker 17: chapter of the Bible Genesis, one to endeavor in science

880
00:46:57,480 --> 00:47:03,319
Speaker 17: and explore, discover and develop the provision that God put

881
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:07,720
Speaker 17: in his creation, and us bearing his image again given

882
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 17: the capacity to do just that.

883
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:14,319
Speaker 1: That voice you're hearing today, Colonel Jeffrey Williams, one of

884
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:18,960
Speaker 1: the most experienced astronauts in the history of mankind. He

885
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:23,280
Speaker 1: was in space for over five hundred days. And Colonel you,

886
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 1: like the rest of us, I'm sure we'll be watching

887
00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:29,960
Speaker 1: tonight just after eight o'clock Eastern time, when Artemis two,

888
00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:34,360
Speaker 1: the mission ends, the Orion ship comes splashing down off

889
00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:35,720
Speaker 1: the coast of San Diego.

890
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:37,080
Speaker 2: They'll put out the parachutes.

891
00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:40,000
Speaker 1: It'll be over five thousand degrees you said, we'll see

892
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:42,680
Speaker 1: it hit the water, and then we'll see these brave

893
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:47,239
Speaker 1: heroes emerge after having made such an impact on all

894
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:50,399
Speaker 1: of us here in the United States and around the globe.

895
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:52,480
Speaker 1: We're grateful for your time today. We have to take

896
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:54,319
Speaker 1: a break here on the show. When we come back,

897
00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:56,359
Speaker 1: it's time for the Relief Factor Pain of the Week.

898
00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:58,160
Speaker 1: You're gonna want to hear it right after this.

899
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:01,760
Speaker 18: Quilly leftist arguments with truth and common sense.

900
00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:07,800
Speaker 16: They hate that this is a scotch any shall.

901
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:08,560
Speaker 2: All right, I want to talk to you about Medicare.

902
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:11,880
Speaker 1: If you or someone that you love is on Medicare,

903
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:15,399
Speaker 1: you know it is designed to be confusing.

904
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:16,240
Speaker 2: It is a mess.

905
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:19,520
Speaker 1: You get the mailers, you get the robocalls, you get

906
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:22,680
Speaker 1: a lot of half truths. And that is why I

907
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:27,400
Speaker 1: am partnering with Chapter, because this company cuts through all

908
00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:31,600
Speaker 1: of that noise. Now, my parents are just on Medicare,

909
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:34,680
Speaker 1: they're at that age, and so I arrange for them

910
00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:40,239
Speaker 1: to go through Chapters expert consultation. The results speak for themselves.

911
00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 1: My mom, thanks to this consultation, is going to save

912
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:45,960
Speaker 1: about six hundred dollars a year on her plan. G

913
00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:48,920
Speaker 1: it's the same plan. They just found a way to

914
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:52,319
Speaker 1: save six hundred bucks twenty minutes in the consultation. She's

915
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:55,640
Speaker 1: saving six hundred dollars. For my dad, they decided he

916
00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:58,200
Speaker 1: was on the right plan, but he had moved recently

917
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:01,160
Speaker 1: and he needed a new primary care physician. Well, they

918
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:04,640
Speaker 1: served as something of a personal concierge for my father.

919
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:07,480
Speaker 1: They found him a new doctor. So my mom is

920
00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:10,160
Speaker 1: saving money, my dad has a new doctor. Listen to

921
00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:14,160
Speaker 1: what Chapter can do. If you're on Medicare, Chapter, by

922
00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:16,920
Speaker 1: the way, advocates for you, and this is the key issue.

923
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:20,759
Speaker 1: They don't advocate for insurance companies. They will tell you

924
00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:23,040
Speaker 1: if you're already on the best plan, and if not,

925
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:24,960
Speaker 1: they'll help you switch to a better one.

926
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:27,920
Speaker 2: I'm gonna send my in laws through. I mean, this.

927
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:30,200
Speaker 1: Is this is a this is a real thing that

928
00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:33,400
Speaker 1: can save real money. Get your real results and virtually

929
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:36,000
Speaker 1: no time at all. Don't gamble with your health care.

930
00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:39,160
Speaker 1: To connect with a Chapter advisor, get on your phone

931
00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:43,000
Speaker 1: and dial pound two fifty pound two five zero and

932
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:46,840
Speaker 1: say Medicare Plan. It's a free call. There is no pressure.

933
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:49,680

00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:11,320

942
00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:14,880
Speaker 2: It is time for the Relief Factor Pain of the Week,

943
00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:17,920
Speaker 2: and no the.

944
00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:21,200
Speaker 5: Relief Factor Pain of the Week.

945
00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:24,799
Speaker 2: This week.

946
00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:29,560
Speaker 1: Every time I hear Joe Arnold with the pain, that

947
00:50:29,680 --> 00:50:31,680
Speaker 1: was real pain. By the way, he was really in pain.

948
00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:34,600
Speaker 1: I just happened to be recording when he made the noise.

949
00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:39,200
Speaker 1: This week's pain all of the taxes and the fees

950
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:43,200
Speaker 1: that the state of California, a state, by the way,

951
00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:45,480
Speaker 1: that we talk about quite often, it seems here on

952
00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:50,200
Speaker 1: the show, adds to a gallon of gasoline. Fifty five

953
00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:53,920
Speaker 1: percent of the cost of a gallon of gas in

954
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:59,600
Speaker 1: California is due to taxes and fees that California has

955
00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:02,480
Speaker 1: added to it. You know, for years, Governor Gavin Newsom

956
00:51:03,080 --> 00:51:06,719
Speaker 1: and other Democrats there have gone after the major oil companies.

957
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:09,319
Speaker 1: They say it's their fault, they blame them, saying, oh,

958
00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:14,600
Speaker 1: there's price gouging. There's no proof of price gouging. In fact,

959
00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:20,000
Speaker 1: it's the opposite. CBS News decided to actually investigate what

960
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:23,400
Speaker 1: is causing oil prices and gasoline prices to be so

961
00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:26,920
Speaker 1: high in California. It's much higher there than it is

962
00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:29,960
Speaker 1: in any other state. And it turns out that, yet again,

963
00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:33,719
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom has been proven a liar. Let's listen to

964
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:36,080
Speaker 1: some of the CBS News report. We'll start with cut

965
00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:36,640
Speaker 1: thirty six.

966
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:40,920
Speaker 19: How does she know about the Californian gas debate? With

967
00:51:41,239 --> 00:51:43,839
Speaker 19: you know, why these oil refineries are leaving in what

968
00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:45,640
Speaker 19: that p potentially do to the price of gas.

969
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:48,680
Speaker 5: I really don't know much about it, and she's not alone.

970
00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:53,400
Speaker 20: So CBS News California spent six months investigating why gas

971
00:51:53,440 --> 00:51:56,560
Speaker 20: really costs so much more in California to break it

972
00:51:56,640 --> 00:51:59,960
Speaker 20: down for the millions of California drivers like Serena.

973
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:01,600
Speaker 5: There's this push and pull.

974
00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:05,040
Speaker 19: Between California policies and oil companies who are like, we're

975
00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:06,000
Speaker 19: still a private business.

976
00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:07,600
Speaker 5: You don't need you California.

977
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:09,719
Speaker 19: And for a long time they've been saying that in

978
00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:13,600
Speaker 19: lawmakers like calling their bluff. Through exclusive refinery access and

979
00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:18,520
Speaker 19: interviews with regulators, lawmakers and analysts, We're connecting the dots

980
00:52:18,560 --> 00:52:23,040
Speaker 19: between California politics, environmental policies, and how much you pay

981
00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:23,520
Speaker 19: at the pump.

982
00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:26,680
Speaker 21: I signed a law to stop price gouging at the pump.

983
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:30,680
Speaker 20: You say, Governor Newsom in California Democratic leadership initially blamed

984
00:52:30,719 --> 00:52:32,800
Speaker 20: oil companies for price gouging, price.

985
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:34,480
Speaker 5: Gouging, the price gouging, price scouting.

986
00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:38,080
Speaker 20: They called a special session which you paid for price scouched,

987
00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:41,520
Speaker 20: to pass a law requiring oil companies open their books,

988
00:52:41,719 --> 00:52:43,120
Speaker 20: which you also paid for.

989
00:52:43,239 --> 00:52:44,800
Speaker 5: We couldn't prove there was gouging.

990
00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:48,080
Speaker 20: Weren't you able to confirm the price gouging accusations.

991
00:52:48,320 --> 00:52:51,120
Speaker 22: The way I would put it is, we've identified certain

992
00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:53,200
Speaker 22: dynamics that were creating those price bikes.

993
00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:57,680
Speaker 20: California's Natural Resources secretary says they found reasons for the

994
00:52:57,680 --> 00:53:00,560
Speaker 20: price bikes, but not intentional scouging.

995
00:53:00,680 --> 00:53:04,360
Speaker 22: Rather than assigning motive to an oil company.

996
00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:07,280
Speaker 20: Or a policymaker, it was lawmakers who were assigning the motive.

997
00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:09,239
Speaker 5: So what were those spikes? Was it regulations? Was it

998
00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:09,920
Speaker 5: price gouging.

999
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:11,960
Speaker 22: Here's what I would say is, as it relates to

1000
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:14,200
Speaker 22: the price spikes, I wouldn't be in a position to

1001
00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:15,239
Speaker 22: point a finger at this.

1002
00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:16,120
Speaker 5: Person or that person.

1003
00:53:16,280 --> 00:53:19,680
Speaker 20: But lawmakers did point the finger, and two major refineries

1004
00:53:19,719 --> 00:53:22,880
Speaker 20: shut down, taking hundreds of jobs and nearly one fifth

1005
00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:27,200
Speaker 20: of California's refining capacity with them.

1006
00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:31,560
Speaker 1: Okay, that was CBS News with a special report investigating

1007
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:34,600
Speaker 1: why gas is so expensive in California. It turns out

1008
00:53:35,239 --> 00:53:37,400
Speaker 1: fifty five percent of the cost of a gallon of

1009
00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:40,600
Speaker 1: gas is due to state regulations. We'll take a break.

1010
00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:42,880
Speaker 1: It's Friday punditry. When we come back here on the

1011

Speaker 1: of great backers.

1024
00:54:18,719 --> 00:54:20,960

Speaker 1: you call it?

1031
00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:42,400
Speaker 23: The verdict with Ted Cruse? They never put verdict with

1032
00:54:42,440 --> 00:54:45,400
Speaker 23: Ben Ferguson there. I keep pushing for that, but I

1033
00:54:45,520 --> 00:54:46,640
Speaker 23: keep losing that argument.

1034
00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:48,719
Speaker 3: I don't know why. It could be that guy. I know,

1035
00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:49,640
Speaker 3: you know.

1036
00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:52,719
Speaker 1: If you just stay at if you just stay at

Speaker 1: school exactly. Well, Ben, we're glad to be here in Texas,

1040
00:55:03,719 --> 00:55:06,520
Speaker 1: and of course you live here in Texas, and we

1041
00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:09,160
Speaker 1: of course follow your commentary, and you and I get

1042
00:55:09,160 --> 00:55:12,440
Speaker 1: to appear on CNN together from time to time. But

1043
00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:14,759
Speaker 1: we're thankful for your time today. I thought we'd go

1044
00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:17,680
Speaker 1: over a few stories this week and get your comments

1045
00:55:17,719 --> 00:55:18,120
Speaker 1: about it.

1046
00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:19,160
Speaker 2: I'm going to start here.

1047
00:55:19,800 --> 00:55:23,680
Speaker 1: Here is one thing that I think conservatives are not

1048
00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:26,960
Speaker 1: talking about enough. We get consumed with a lot of

1049
00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:30,000
Speaker 1: fights internally and a lot of division, and this, that

1050
00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:32,800
Speaker 1: and the other. And I use this in my speaking

1051
00:55:32,840 --> 00:55:35,839
Speaker 1: engagements now, and people always gasp when I say it.

1052
00:55:36,560 --> 00:55:41,400
Speaker 1: The federal government, the workforce, the size of the workforce

1053
00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:47,800
Speaker 1: is smaller than it has ever been since nineteen sixty six.

1054
00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:51,040
Speaker 1: I want to hear from Kevin Hassett, the President's economic advisor,

1055
00:55:51,040 --> 00:55:51,839
Speaker 1: and cut twenty eight.

1056
00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:54,560
Speaker 24: The biggest thing that we can point to is that

1057
00:55:54,600 --> 00:55:58,760
Speaker 24: we've cut government employment by more than three hundred thousand workers.

1058
00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:03,160
Speaker 24: And those are jobs are very high paying that are

1059
00:56:03,400 --> 00:56:08,000
Speaker 24: gone forever, and that reduces government spending by unthinkable amounts

1060
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:09,840
Speaker 24: of money, maybe as much as a trillia over the

1061
00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:12,879
Speaker 24: next ten years. We reduced the deficit last year by

1062
00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:16,400
Speaker 24: six hundred billion dollars because of higher growth that people thought,

1063
00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:21,239
Speaker 24: and the tariff revenue and more supply side effect of

1064
00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:23,319
Speaker 24: the tax cuts. That's the kind of thing that we

1065
00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:25,720
Speaker 24: expect to see year after year after year. But if

1066
00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:28,560
Speaker 24: you wonder whether we're serious, look at the cut in

1067
00:56:28,680 --> 00:56:31,680
Speaker 24: federal government employment and understand that that's something that is

1068
00:56:31,719 --> 00:56:34,000
Speaker 24: in the baseline now and it's a cut that's going

1069
00:56:34,040 --> 00:56:36,160
Speaker 24: to be there for each of the next ten years.

1070
00:56:37,560 --> 00:56:41,080
Speaker 1: Ben for a conservative, is this Donald Trump's greatest accomplishment

1071
00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:43,080
Speaker 1: so far, shrinking the federal government?

1072
00:56:43,480 --> 00:56:45,600
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, I think it is.

1073
00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:47,160
Speaker 23: And I think this is part of what you have

1074
00:56:47,239 --> 00:56:49,719
Speaker 23: to talk about going into the midterms and getting back

1075
00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:52,040
Speaker 23: on message, which is Donald Trump.

1076
00:56:51,760 --> 00:56:53,680
Speaker 3: Promised you he's going to get rid of waste, fraud,

1077
00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:54,160
Speaker 3: and abuse.

1078
00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:55,840
Speaker 23: And if you want to know how much waste there

1079
00:56:55,960 --> 00:56:57,600
Speaker 23: was in the federal government, the fact that you can

1080
00:56:57,680 --> 00:57:01,920
Speaker 23: downside that's got by this much and still the government

1081
00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:06,160
Speaker 23: work and operate well tells you how blow did it

1082
00:57:06,200 --> 00:57:06,720
Speaker 23: had become.

1083
00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:08,719
Speaker 3: And it's not just a one year thing.

1084
00:57:09,160 --> 00:57:11,319
Speaker 23: You notice what he said there over this is over

1085
00:57:11,360 --> 00:57:14,960
Speaker 23: the next decade, Like this is going to happen longer

1086
00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:18,320
Speaker 23: than long after Donald Trump has left office. So I

1087
00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:21,040
Speaker 23: hope that conservatives running for office in the midterms look

1088
00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:23,640
Speaker 23: at this data and go back and remind people this

1089
00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:25,280
Speaker 23: is part of the reason why the idea of doge

1090
00:57:25,360 --> 00:57:28,240
Speaker 23: was so important in the midterm or in the presidential election,

1091
00:57:28,720 --> 00:57:30,400
Speaker 23: and they need to get back to that, like we

1092
00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:34,280
Speaker 23: are the party of cutting government, where the party of deregulation,

1093
00:57:34,440 --> 00:57:36,960
Speaker 23: where the party allowing you to have more ability to

1094
00:57:37,040 --> 00:57:40,080
Speaker 23: just provide for your family and succeed. Where the party

1095
00:57:40,120 --> 00:57:43,080
Speaker 23: that goes and finds fraud in California or in Minnesota

1096
00:57:43,200 --> 00:57:45,720
Speaker 23: or wherever it's happening around the country. And they need

1097
00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:47,680
Speaker 23: to get back to that very soon because these poll

1098
00:57:47,760 --> 00:57:50,480
Speaker 23: numbers that I'm saying they are concerning, and I think

1099
00:57:50,520 --> 00:57:52,560
Speaker 23: it's because we're not talking about the things like you

1100
00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:53,600
Speaker 23: just played right there.

1101
00:57:55,440 --> 00:57:57,880
Speaker 1: So every you know, I've been in politics now twenty

1102
00:57:57,920 --> 00:57:59,960
Speaker 1: six years, been in and around a lot of elections,

1103
00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:03,600
Speaker 1: been around a lot of candidates. I every candidate from

1104
00:58:03,640 --> 00:58:05,480
Speaker 1: president all the way down to dog catcher that I

1105
00:58:05,560 --> 00:58:08,840
Speaker 1: have ever known or worked for, has always said and

1106
00:58:08,920 --> 00:58:11,959
Speaker 1: you can trust me to shrink the size of government. Now,

1107
00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:15,000
Speaker 1: Donald Trump went and did it, and it just it's

1108
00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:17,760
Speaker 1: crazy to me that we're not. We should be having

1109
00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:21,720
Speaker 1: a ticker tape parade every day for keeping this. It's

1110
00:58:21,760 --> 00:58:25,120
Speaker 1: the promise that it's like the unifying promise among all

1111
00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:27,360
Speaker 1: wings the Republican Party. Okay, yes, yes, we all agree

1112
00:58:27,680 --> 00:58:31,240
Speaker 1: we want to cut the size of government. Trump did it,

1113
00:58:31,280 --> 00:58:34,520
Speaker 1: and it's a miracle because to overcome the bureaucracy to

1114
00:58:34,560 --> 00:58:36,880
Speaker 1: get rid of it is, you know, it's self sustaining.

1115
00:58:36,920 --> 00:58:39,160
Speaker 2: It's hard to shrink it. And yet here we are.

1116
00:58:40,680 --> 00:58:42,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, well this is when I laugh.

1117
00:58:42,240 --> 00:58:43,720
Speaker 23: You know, the ticker's on TV and you and I

1118
00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:45,480
Speaker 23: have to deal with this all the time, Like the

1119
00:58:45,520 --> 00:58:47,760
Speaker 23: ticker on CNN that just disappeared all of a sudden

1120
00:58:47,800 --> 00:58:49,800
Speaker 23: after they're like, hey, look at the sock market doing

1121
00:58:49,880 --> 00:58:52,120
Speaker 23: terrible and look at out how the gas prices are.

1122
00:58:52,360 --> 00:58:54,120
Speaker 3: You want to do a ticker that the American people

1123
00:58:54,200 --> 00:58:54,960
Speaker 3: care about on TV?

1124
00:58:55,400 --> 00:58:58,720
Speaker 23: Throw up as Scott Jennings ticker that says the number

1125
00:58:58,800 --> 00:58:59,480
Speaker 23: of jobs that.

1126
00:58:59,480 --> 00:59:02,040
Speaker 3: Have disappear from the federal government. Like that's a real

1127
00:59:02,120 --> 00:59:02,760
Speaker 3: time number.

1128
00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:05,200
Speaker 23: I'd love to watch and I would watch it like

1129
00:59:05,320 --> 00:59:07,400
Speaker 23: every day on TV. I beck, how many more people

1130
00:59:07,440 --> 00:59:09,000
Speaker 23: have we gotten rid of that are waste, fraud and

1131
00:59:09,040 --> 00:59:11,480
Speaker 23: abuse in our government? Like you should have that, Scott

1132
00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:13,440
Speaker 23: at the bottom of the show where people watching you

1133
00:59:13,560 --> 00:59:16,240
Speaker 23: just have the Scott Jennings government job eliminator ticker.

1134
00:59:16,640 --> 00:59:19,200
Speaker 3: I would root for that thing to just skyrocket to

1135
00:59:19,240 --> 00:59:19,600
Speaker 3: the moon.

1136
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:21,480
Speaker 2: I love that.

1137
00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:23,760
Speaker 1: I love that, all right, Ben Ferguson's our punnit of

1138
00:59:23,800 --> 00:59:26,240
Speaker 1: the week here on the Scott Jennings Show. Let's shift

1139
00:59:26,320 --> 00:59:32,000
Speaker 1: gears to another network, ms NOW formerly MSNBC. They have

1140
00:59:32,080 --> 00:59:34,960
Speaker 1: a host named Lawrence O'Donnell. By the way, he's not

1141
00:59:35,040 --> 00:59:38,080
Speaker 1: a he's not a huge fan of mine. And it's

1142
00:59:38,120 --> 00:59:40,000
Speaker 1: gonna get even worse after we have this comment.

1143
00:59:40,080 --> 00:59:41,680
Speaker 23: And we're not going to get dinner an aytime soon,

1144
00:59:41,840 --> 00:59:43,440
Speaker 23: right y'all? Are y'all aren't dinner buddies?

1145
00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:43,720
Speaker 17: Are you?

1146
00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:46,800
Speaker 2: We are not? No, we are not. I'm not eating

1147
00:59:46,800 --> 00:59:49,440
Speaker 2: it whatever a vegan Tofu restaurant. He's eating it.

1148
00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:53,000
Speaker 1: But but he did something this week that even I

1149
00:59:53,040 --> 00:59:55,440
Speaker 1: mean he he has done over the years a bunch

1150
00:59:55,440 --> 01:00:00,080
Speaker 1: of absolutely bizarre, crazy and downright stupid things on the

1151
01:00:00,440 --> 01:00:03,560
Speaker 1: I want to play this clip he's complaining about something.

1152
01:00:03,640 --> 01:00:06,440
Speaker 1: Pete Hegseth had to say, let's hear Lawrence O'Donnell. In

1153
01:00:06,480 --> 01:00:07,680
Speaker 1: cut number twenty nine.

1154
01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:11,520
Speaker 25: That brilliant rescue was described by the Secretary of Defense

1155
01:00:12,400 --> 01:00:14,760
Speaker 25: and by General Dan Kine, the Chairman of the Joint

1156
01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:20,880
Speaker 25: Chiefs of Staff, as a longstanding American military rule of

1157
01:00:21,040 --> 01:00:22,640
Speaker 25: never leaving anyone behind.

1158
01:00:24,880 --> 01:00:26,480
Speaker 3: We leave no man behind.

1159
01:00:28,120 --> 01:00:31,640
Speaker 25: That is, of course, the old school version of the idea,

1160
01:00:31,840 --> 01:00:35,560
Speaker 25: back when only men flew American military planes.

1161
01:00:36,840 --> 01:00:38,080
Speaker 5: General Dan Caine.

1162
01:00:38,880 --> 01:00:40,880
Speaker 25: The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, put it

1163
01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:47,880
Speaker 25: this way, we leave no one behind. The General knows,

1164
01:00:48,440 --> 01:00:52,160
Speaker 25: unlike Pete Hegseth, that that could have been a woman

1165
01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:55,400
Speaker 25: they were trying to rescue, and it might be a

1166
01:00:55,440 --> 01:00:56,560
Speaker 25: woman the next time.

1167
01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:03,480
Speaker 1: Okay, Ben, this is one of the top three stupidest nitpicks.

1168
01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:05,040
Speaker 2: I've heard this year in the media.

1169
01:01:05,160 --> 01:01:08,200
Speaker 1: Pete Haigg Seth says, leave no man behind a common

1170
01:01:08,320 --> 01:01:11,720
Speaker 1: phrase in military jargon, and.

1171
01:01:11,800 --> 01:01:12,960
Speaker 2: We're picking it apart.

1172
01:01:13,440 --> 01:01:17,360
Speaker 1: But we can't just say good job US military, great rescue.

1173
01:01:17,440 --> 01:01:19,400
Speaker 2: The daring of this rescue was amazing.

1174
01:01:19,400 --> 01:01:22,919
Speaker 1: No, no, we have to spend time nitpicking Pete haig Seth,

1175
01:01:22,960 --> 01:01:23,640
Speaker 1: what do you make of it.

1176
01:01:24,920 --> 01:01:27,200
Speaker 23: Yeah, you know, MSNBC did a great job when they

1177
01:01:27,320 --> 01:01:30,720
Speaker 23: changed their name to like a terrible disease ms NOW, so.

1178
01:01:30,840 --> 01:01:32,400
Speaker 3: Like, at least they got that right.

1179
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:35,440
Speaker 23: I watched their program being and I'm sitting there and

1180
01:01:35,480 --> 01:01:37,959
Speaker 23: I'm like, let me get this straight. You guys think

1181
01:01:38,080 --> 01:01:40,400
Speaker 23: the best attack on the President United States of America,

1182
01:01:40,440 --> 01:01:43,960
Speaker 23: after we get back to Americans who have been lost

1183
01:01:44,040 --> 01:01:45,960
Speaker 23: in this and had to get out of an airplane

1184
01:01:45,960 --> 01:01:48,920
Speaker 23: that was being shut down, is to criticize that the

1185
01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:51,440
Speaker 23: word man behind. Like, if you're gonna run in the

1186
01:01:51,480 --> 01:01:55,680
Speaker 23: midterms off of allowing dudes and chicks bathrooms and fighting

1187
01:01:55,720 --> 01:01:59,320
Speaker 23: over gender issues, knock yourself out because this is only

1188
01:01:59,320 --> 01:02:01,480
Speaker 23: going to help us going into the mid turb elections.

1189
01:02:01,720 --> 01:02:05,320
Speaker 23: And O'Donnell over there at ms NOW, at least you're

1190
01:02:05,320 --> 01:02:07,439
Speaker 23: sticking with the name, my friend, Like, at least you're

1191
01:02:07,440 --> 01:02:09,520
Speaker 23: doing a terrible job every day.

1192
01:02:09,560 --> 01:02:10,760
Speaker 3: It's like a disease over there.

1193
01:02:10,800 --> 01:02:15,320
Speaker 1: It really is, all right, another favorite pincushion for us

1194
01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:19,640
Speaker 1: here on the Scott Jennings Show, Steven Colbert now Brandon

1195
01:02:19,800 --> 01:02:24,040
Speaker 1: Straka on the X platform put together this video montage

1196
01:02:24,040 --> 01:02:29,320
Speaker 1: and audio montage showing some hypocrisy from Stephen Colbert shocked.

1197
01:02:29,360 --> 01:02:33,000
Speaker 1: I know to hear that, but it's hypocrisy on gas prices.

1198
01:02:33,160 --> 01:02:35,040
Speaker 1: Let's listen to this and cut number thirty.

1199
01:02:35,680 --> 01:02:39,960
Speaker 21: Somehow, President Businessman didn't see all this coming. Reportedly, this

1200
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:43,280
Speaker 21: weekend's oil price fight caught White House staffers off guard.

1201
01:02:43,320 --> 01:02:48,880
Speaker 21: According to one, it was insane. It absolutely surprised the administration. Really,

1202
01:02:49,960 --> 01:02:54,120
Speaker 21: you were surprised that bombing the place the oil comes

1203
01:02:54,120 --> 01:02:56,000
Speaker 21: from makes the oil cost more.

1204
01:02:56,360 --> 01:02:56,760
Speaker 9: Huh.

1205
01:02:56,800 --> 01:02:59,160
Speaker 21: We're not gonna buy our gas from a war criminal.

1206
01:02:59,200 --> 01:03:03,720
Speaker 21: We're gonna buy it from the good guys Saudi Arabia.

1207
01:03:04,120 --> 01:03:06,040
Speaker 5: But it's going to cost.

1208
01:03:06,440 --> 01:03:10,240
Speaker 21: Since the invasion, oil prices have skyrocketed. Today, the average

1209
01:03:10,280 --> 01:03:13,200
Speaker 21: gas price in America hit an all time record high

1210
01:03:13,200 --> 01:03:17,040
Speaker 21: of over four dollars per gallon. Okay, that's things, but

1211
01:03:17,080 --> 01:03:20,520
Speaker 21: a clean conscience is worth a bucker two. I'm willing

1212
01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:22,920
Speaker 21: to pay four dollars a gallon. Hell, I'll pay fifteen

1213
01:03:23,240 --> 01:03:25,720
Speaker 21: dollars a gallon because I drive a Tesla.

1214
01:03:27,800 --> 01:03:30,320
Speaker 1: Okay, Ben, So it wasn't that long ago that liberals

1215
01:03:30,360 --> 01:03:33,840
Speaker 1: in America were cheering for high gas prices because they

1216
01:03:33,880 --> 01:03:36,320
Speaker 1: wanted to meet their climate change goals. Now they're worried

1217
01:03:36,360 --> 01:03:39,200
Speaker 1: about high gas prices, tell us about the hypocrisy.

1218
01:03:40,600 --> 01:03:44,040
Speaker 23: Yeah, remember when Barack Obama's a guy in charge of energy,

1219
01:03:44,200 --> 01:03:47,440
Speaker 23: said that the goal for the Obama administration, this is

1220
01:03:47,520 --> 01:03:50,400
Speaker 23: you back to two thousand and eight, nine ten, was

1221
01:03:50,480 --> 01:03:53,240
Speaker 23: to get priced per gallon in America to where it

1222
01:03:53,320 --> 01:03:55,240
Speaker 23: was in Europe at the time when they were paying

1223
01:03:55,400 --> 01:03:58,200
Speaker 23: leaders three four dollars a lead. That would have put

1224
01:03:58,280 --> 01:04:01,640
Speaker 23: us at like eight dollars nine dollars ten dollars a gallon.

1225
01:04:01,960 --> 01:04:04,959
Speaker 23: So when they complain about four dollars gallon gas right now,

1226
01:04:05,280 --> 01:04:08,840
Speaker 23: it is laughable because they actually said their policy as

1227
01:04:08,880 --> 01:04:11,920
Speaker 23: a party when they were in office, when they were

1228
01:04:11,920 --> 01:04:13,720
Speaker 23: in charge of the House and the Senate, was to

1229
01:04:13,880 --> 01:04:18,800
Speaker 23: deliberately manipulate gas prices to force you into a hybrid vehicle,

1230
01:04:19,080 --> 01:04:21,480
Speaker 23: and all of their Celindra and all their other craft

1231
01:04:21,480 --> 01:04:24,080
Speaker 23: that they're wasting our tax doars on. That all went bust,

1232
01:04:24,440 --> 01:04:26,760
Speaker 23: and they said, we're going to mandate that these cars

1233
01:04:26,800 --> 01:04:29,360
Speaker 23: get tiny, they get unsafe, they.

1234
01:04:29,160 --> 01:04:30,840
Speaker 3: Have plastic parts everywhere, so.

1235
01:04:30,800 --> 01:04:33,720
Speaker 23: They can get these insane miles per gallon minimums that

1236
01:04:33,800 --> 01:04:36,880
Speaker 23: the federal mandatesquare and none of it, by the way, worked.

1237
01:04:37,120 --> 01:04:39,120
Speaker 23: And now they want to complain about four dollars gallon

1238
01:04:39,160 --> 01:04:41,680
Speaker 23: gas when they said their goal was ten dollars gallon gas.

1239
01:04:41,800 --> 01:04:43,200
Speaker 3: My question is which one is it?

1240
01:04:45,360 --> 01:04:46,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they don't have an answer to that.

1241
01:04:47,120 --> 01:04:50,360
Speaker 1: Had I reminded one of these liberal pundits on TV

1242
01:04:50,440 --> 01:04:51,800
Speaker 1: the other night, you know you guys used to be

1243
01:04:51,840 --> 01:04:53,800
Speaker 1: for high gas prices. He said, we did.

1244
01:04:54,880 --> 01:04:56,680
Speaker 2: It was amazing.

1245
01:04:56,800 --> 01:04:57,040
Speaker 23: All right.

1246
01:04:57,080 --> 01:04:58,760
Speaker 2: I got about a minute lef of a segment here.

1247
01:04:58,720 --> 01:05:01,400
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna give you a

1248
01:05:01,520 --> 01:05:04,520
Speaker 1: chance to unspool on this the fight amongst the podcasters

1249
01:05:04,520 --> 01:05:09,400
Speaker 1: and President Trump. President Trump says Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens,

1250
01:05:10,640 --> 01:05:12,800
Speaker 1: Alex Jones, some of the others are.

1251
01:05:13,200 --> 01:05:14,120
Speaker 2: Terrible, low Iq.

1252
01:05:14,320 --> 01:05:16,520
Speaker 1: You know all the things President Trump said, they've turned

1253
01:05:16,560 --> 01:05:18,840
Speaker 1: on him over the war in Iran? What do you

1254
01:05:18,880 --> 01:05:21,200
Speaker 1: make of all these guys attacking Donald Trump?

1255
01:05:22,520 --> 01:05:23,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I gotta be honest with you.

1256
01:05:23,880 --> 01:05:27,680
Speaker 23: I actually love the Republican Party because we actually excommunicate

1257
01:05:27,720 --> 01:05:30,800
Speaker 23: our crazies, and we do it publicly. The Democrats find

1258
01:05:30,840 --> 01:05:33,320
Speaker 23: their crazies and they bring them in closer. If you're

1259
01:05:33,360 --> 01:05:36,560
Speaker 23: anti Semitic with Candie Owens, we call you out for it.

1260
01:05:36,760 --> 01:05:39,160
Speaker 23: If you're anti Semitic, like Tucker Carlson, we call you

1261
01:05:39,240 --> 01:05:41,800
Speaker 23: out for it. If you're buying housing Katar and saying

1262
01:05:41,840 --> 01:05:43,440
Speaker 23: things that are against the United Sates in America, we

1263
01:05:43,520 --> 01:05:45,760
Speaker 23: will call you out for it. So I'm glad the

1264
01:05:45,800 --> 01:05:48,120
Speaker 23: President's doing it. I've been saying this for a long time.

1265
01:05:48,200 --> 01:05:49,080
Speaker 23: I've known a lot.

1266
01:05:48,920 --> 01:05:49,400
Speaker 3: Of these people.

1267
01:05:49,480 --> 01:05:52,680
Speaker 23: I've set with these people, I've debated these people. Alex Jones,

1268
01:05:52,680 --> 01:05:55,120
Speaker 23: by the way, as the moonbat. He's crazy. He's so crazy.

1269
01:05:55,160 --> 01:05:56,600
Speaker 23: Even when he was going through I think it was

1270
01:05:56,640 --> 01:05:59,200
Speaker 23: a divorce or child Cussey battle, he said, no, no, no,

1271
01:05:59,200 --> 01:06:01,040
Speaker 23: I don't believe have the crazy things I say. I

1272
01:06:01,160 --> 01:06:03,760
Speaker 23: just do it to entertain people and make money and

1273
01:06:03,800 --> 01:06:06,520
Speaker 23: find people that believe in my crazy things. That is

1274
01:06:06,560 --> 01:06:10,080
Speaker 23: Alex Jones on the record in court documents, in a courtroom.

1275
01:06:10,160 --> 01:06:12,600
Speaker 3: So this is who the dudes are. This is who

1276
01:06:12,640 --> 01:06:14,520
Speaker 3: Cannas is. Call him out every time.

1277
01:06:16,480 --> 01:06:16,800
Speaker 11: All right.

1328
01:08:40,240 --> 01:08:44,960
Speaker 1: Okay, the masters watchers, and I guess Roy McElroy got

1329
01:08:44,960 --> 01:08:46,599
Speaker 1: off to a pretty hot start.

1330
01:08:47,040 --> 01:08:49,880
Speaker 3: I think he was in the lead right before we started. Yeah,

1331
01:08:49,920 --> 01:08:50,559
Speaker 3: he was in the lead.

1332
01:08:51,439 --> 01:08:53,639
Speaker 1: All right, So winter of the week, people playing hooky

1333
01:08:53,640 --> 01:08:55,120
Speaker 1: from work? All right, I'm going to give you the

1334
01:08:55,120 --> 01:09:00,160
Speaker 1: loser of the week. This guy is pathetic and he

1335
01:09:00,200 --> 01:09:02,840
Speaker 1: probably could be Loser of the Week every week for

1336
01:09:02,880 --> 01:09:06,840
Speaker 1: all eternity, but he really deserves it this week. He

1337
01:09:06,920 --> 01:09:11,000
Speaker 1: is a man named George Conway. He's a bizarre looking man.

1338
01:09:11,560 --> 01:09:13,519
Speaker 1: He used to be a Republican. He pretended to be

1339
01:09:13,600 --> 01:09:17,200
Speaker 1: a conservative Republican, and you've probably seen him on television.

1340
01:09:17,720 --> 01:09:21,080
Speaker 1: He became one of these broken brained, never Trump losers.

1341
01:09:21,880 --> 01:09:23,840
Speaker 1: He's now running for Congress, by the way, in New

1342
01:09:23,920 --> 01:09:28,360
Speaker 1: York City as a liberal Democrat. But I caught ben

1343
01:09:28,680 --> 01:09:34,120
Speaker 1: mister Conway on a podcast this week literally crying. He

1344
01:09:34,280 --> 01:09:40,040
Speaker 1: was crying as he admitted that instead of giving his

1345
01:09:40,240 --> 01:09:43,439
Speaker 1: children one million dollars for their like, they would go

1346
01:09:43,520 --> 01:09:44,759
Speaker 1: in their inheritance or whatever.

1347
01:09:44,840 --> 01:09:46,480
Speaker 5: He got talked.

1348
01:09:46,160 --> 01:09:51,960
Speaker 1: Into donating a million dollars to Joe Biden. Let's listen

1349
01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:53,400
Speaker 1: to that, George Conway.

1350
01:09:54,280 --> 01:09:55,720
Speaker 18: Even then, I just thought about it, Well, what do

1351
01:09:55,760 --> 01:09:59,160
Speaker 18: I want to make kids to herod? And I literally

1352
01:09:59,200 --> 01:10:00,800
Speaker 18: was in tears. I pulled over to the side of

1353
01:10:00,800 --> 01:10:04,080
Speaker 18: the road and I was in tears thinking about this,

1354
01:10:04,120 --> 01:10:05,240
Speaker 18: and it's like, I want my kids.

1355
01:10:05,560 --> 01:10:07,120
Speaker 15: It makes me miss the eye even today.

1356
01:10:08,040 --> 01:10:11,439
Speaker 18: I want my kids to inherit at democracy. It's more

1357
01:10:11,479 --> 01:10:14,840
Speaker 18: important than money and and that society. Adam, I'm gonna

1358
01:10:14,840 --> 01:10:16,680
Speaker 18: I'm going to give them legal maximum, which was like

1359
01:10:17,160 --> 01:10:22,200
Speaker 18: nine hundred and twenty nine, six hundred dollars, and you know,

1360
01:10:22,320 --> 01:10:24,840
Speaker 18: I just it's just it's just more important. It's just

1361
01:10:24,880 --> 01:10:30,240
Speaker 18: more important. And that's why I did that. And that's

1362
01:10:30,280 --> 01:10:32,559
Speaker 18: why you know, I'm sixty two years olf. I should

1363
01:10:32,600 --> 01:10:35,040
Speaker 18: be out in Park City skiing or something like that,

1364
01:10:35,120 --> 01:10:37,959
Speaker 18: and I should be really really retired.

1365
01:10:38,000 --> 01:10:38,720
Speaker 5: But I you know, we.

1366
01:10:38,720 --> 01:10:39,679
Speaker 2: Got to turn this off.

1367
01:10:40,880 --> 01:10:44,200
Speaker 1: Okay, man, that was I think we may have just

1368
01:10:44,280 --> 01:10:48,880
Speaker 1: violated about eighteen SEC regulations. They're okay, George, George Conway,

1369
01:10:49,320 --> 01:10:52,600
Speaker 1: he is crying on a podcast. I think he was

1370
01:10:52,640 --> 01:10:55,479
Speaker 1: actually crying because he's remembering that he gave a million

1371
01:10:55,520 --> 01:10:58,960
Speaker 1: dollars to Joe Biden, who never even finished the race.

1372
01:11:00,080 --> 01:11:01,879
Speaker 2: What do you make of this guy, by the way man.

1373
01:11:02,280 --> 01:11:05,639
Speaker 23: Yeah, yeah, Trump derangement syndrome. But there are some people.

1374
01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:09,400
Speaker 23: I've always said this, the easiest way for Republican to

1375
01:11:09,439 --> 01:11:13,160
Speaker 23: become a millionaire is become a useful idiot for the left.

1376
01:11:13,760 --> 01:11:15,640
Speaker 23: You can ask a lot of former hosts of the

1377
01:11:15,720 --> 01:11:17,559
Speaker 23: View that's set in the Republican seat.

1378
01:11:18,080 --> 01:11:21,080
Speaker 3: Just sell out. They will pay you, Like if you

1379
01:11:21,240 --> 01:11:23,640
Speaker 3: say I'm.

1380
01:11:22,840 --> 01:11:25,639
Speaker 23: A Republican, they will pay you a lot of money

1381
01:11:25,680 --> 01:11:28,960
Speaker 23: to say things that are damaging towards the Republican Party.

1382
01:11:29,560 --> 01:11:30,439
Speaker 3: That is who he is.

1383
01:11:30,560 --> 01:11:33,000
Speaker 23: Conway's like, oh, I'm a concert He's like Adam Kinsinger,

1384
01:11:33,040 --> 01:11:35,280
Speaker 23: and the list goes on and on. Of all these

1385
01:11:35,360 --> 01:11:37,960
Speaker 23: fake rhinos out there. Tara Settmeyer, you have to fight

1386
01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:39,200
Speaker 23: with her all the time on CNN.

1387
01:11:39,240 --> 01:11:41,720
Speaker 3: I used to for years. I'm a conservative, Like, no,

1388
01:11:41,800 --> 01:11:42,519
Speaker 3: you're not, You're a.

1389
01:11:42,479 --> 01:11:45,240
Speaker 23: Liberal and give it up a million dollars because you

1390
01:11:45,280 --> 01:11:48,320
Speaker 23: hate Orange Man bad. That's pretty impressive. I'm kind of

1391
01:11:48,320 --> 01:11:50,280
Speaker 23: glad he did it. It makes me laugh, So it's

1392
01:11:50,280 --> 01:11:51,680
Speaker 23: probably money well spent.

1393
01:11:52,439 --> 01:11:52,760
Speaker 2: All right.

1394
01:11:52,800 --> 01:11:55,920

Speaker 1: Inning Show.

1396
01:11:57,280 --> 01:11:58,519
Speaker 2: He's running for Congress.

1397
01:11:58,720 --> 01:12:02,040
Speaker 1: Is he running in that Democratic primary against that Kennedy

1398
01:12:02,720 --> 01:12:03,840
Speaker 1: Schlosberg or whatever.

1399
01:12:03,880 --> 01:12:05,840
Speaker 3: I think he's not even gonna have it is. Yeah.

1400
01:12:06,280 --> 01:12:08,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, So basically he gave a million dollars to Joe

1401
01:12:08,840 --> 01:12:13,800
Speaker 1: Biden instead of his children, and that, of course didn't

1402
01:12:13,840 --> 01:12:16,920
Speaker 1: work out. Now he's running for Congress. So he completely

1403
01:12:16,960 --> 01:12:19,799
Speaker 1: sold out all of his supposed values to be a Democrat.

1404
01:12:19,880 --> 01:12:22,160
Speaker 1: Now there, I guess all the Democrats are for the

1405
01:12:22,360 --> 01:12:25,120
Speaker 1: Kennedy there. That's not going to work out. It's not
