Speaker 4: Welcome to the Scott Jenning Show.

11
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 1: President Trump descends on Kentucky and wades into a hot

12
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:46,559
Speaker 1: congressional primary. Iran's navy is destroyed and we're awaiting the

13
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 1: world's largest ever oil reserve release. We'll have the latest

14
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: on epic fury Core. Inflation hit its lowest number in

15
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: five years. We have the stats, and the left is

16
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: losing its mind over steak and lobster.

17
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:01,959
Speaker 2: For the troops.

18
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: It is Wednesday, March the twelfth, Common Sense for the

19
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: American people. This is Scott Jennings here on Salem. We

20
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: broadcast live today from our nation's capital, and we begin

21
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: with the news President Trump landed in Kentucky last night,

22
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: smack dab in the middle of one of the hottest

23
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: congressional primaries in America. This is the fourth congressional district

24
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 1: of Kentucky represented by Thomas Massey, who has become a

25
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: thorn in the President's side on a number of issues.

26
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: The latest is the war where Massey has opposed the

27
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: President taking on the Iranian terror regime and he has

28
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: voted with the Democrats and the Squad against the President's

29
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: war powers. But this feud started long before, with Massy

30
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: time and again opposing the President's agenda and attracting the

31
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: Commander in chiefs Ire. Here's what the President had to

32
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: say about it last night in cut thirteen.

33
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 5: We got to get rid of this.

34
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 4: This guy is bad.

35
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 6: He's disloyal to the Republican Party, he's disloyal to the

36
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 6: people of Kentucky, and most importantly, he is disloyal to.

37
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 5: The United States of America.

38
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 7: And he's got to be voted out of office as

39
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:17,239
Speaker 7: soon as possible.

40
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: Unsubtle words from the President about Massey. Now, the President

41
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: here has endorsed an opponent for Massey, a veteran and

42
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: a farmer named ed Gaal Ryan, who also appeared at

43
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: the rally in Northern Kentucky last night. Here's Gal Ryan

44
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: and cut fourteen.

45
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 4: I hope the fake news gets this.

46
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 8: Tom Massey stands with the ladies of the view. Tom

47
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:46,679
Speaker 8: Massey stands with the ladies of the view. Mister President,

48
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 8: we stand with you.

49
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 9: Fight Bye bye.

50
00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 4: Now.

51
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: Our sources tell us this race is close, very close.

52
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: Millions of dollars have been spent so far on both sides,

53
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: and more is on the way, a lot more. I

54
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: want you to listen to this latest ad running across

55
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: the district from the Republican Jewish Coalition, a sailing Massy's

56
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: position on the war. Here's cut fifteen.

57
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 3: America is at war with a fanatical regime that seeks

58
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 3: nuclear weapons. American hero Ed Galrhin stands with President Trump,

59
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 3: our country, and our military. Thomas Massey he stands with

60
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 3: Iran and radical leftists in Congress, opposing Trump.

61
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 2: Just like he did on the border and Texas.

62
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 3: Now, Kentuckians have a choice, Gal Ryan and Trump or

63
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 3: Thomas Massey. The RJAC Victory Fund is responsible for the

64
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 3: content of this advertising.

65
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: Now, the group running this ad has just put three

66
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: million dollars behind their campaign. What happens here in May

67
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, but this is the first time Massy

68
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: has ever faced the full wrath of Trump in a

69
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: political campaign, and it is the first time he has

70
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: faced an opponent with significant resources since he was first

71
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: elected in twenty twelve. Massey has had a strong brand

72
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: here too, four among his voters in Kentucky. But this

73
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 1: is a test like no other. We'll keep tabs on

74
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: it for you as the race draws near. The primary

75
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: is in May. Kentucky remains one of President Trump's best states.

76
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: His support there, especially among Republicans, is rock solid. Now

77
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 1: let's get to the war in Iran, day thirteen of

78
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: Operation Epic Fury, the President says, it's basically over.

79
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 2: Listen to him last night, cut number one.

80
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 8: You just said it is a little excursion, and you

81
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 8: said it is a war.

82
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 6: So which one is, Well, it's wealth, it's well, it's

83
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 6: an excursion that will keep us out of a war.

84
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 6: And the war is going to be I mean for them,

85
00:04:59,160 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 6: it's a war.

86
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 8: For It's.

87
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 4: Turned out to be easier than we thought. But think

88
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 4: of it.

89
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 6: They had thousands of missiles, seven eight thousand missiles. We

90
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 6: got many of them before they got to lunch. They

91
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 6: have drones all over the place. We got many. Now

92
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 6: we're knocking out the drone plants. As you know, we're

93
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 6: going fast. They started talking about mine. So we hit

94
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 6: twenty eight mind ships as at this moment, twenty eight

95
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 6: like using the same weapon, the exact same weapon that

96
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 6: we use against the drug dealers in the water. We

97
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 6: have as an example, we had tremendous drugs pouring in

98
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 6: through the waters, through the sea, and now we have

99
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 6: almost none. Who's it's down ninety seven percent through water.

100
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 4: Now we'll do it through land. The land is easier

101
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 4: than water.

102
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 1: For the United States military and our partners in Israel,

103
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: this has been a crushing success. The Uranian navy is destroyed.

104
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: They're mind laying ships, twenty eight of them have been destroyed.

105
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: The Supreme leader is dead, the military command structure in shambles,

106
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: missiles and drone capabilities severely, massively degraded, and their ability

107
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 1: to build a nuclear weapon, well, it's been set back

108
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 1: by years, if not decades. For forty seven years, folks,

109
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: forty seven years, Iran has been at war with America

110
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 1: and all of Western civilization. They have threatened the Strait

111
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 1: of Hormuz. They have funded terrorism from Beirut to Buenos Aires.

112
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: They have chanted death to America while building the missiles

113
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 1: to try and make it happen. And for forty seven

114
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: years every president has kicked the can, but not this

115
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: one and not anymore.

116
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 2: My advice don't stop short.

117
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: Mister President finished them off once and for all. Iran's

118
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 1: new leader, the son of the old one, says, Iran

119
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: will continue to attack vessels in the Gulf and keep

120
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: the Strait.

121
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:52,359
Speaker 2: Of horn Moves closed.

122
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: So there is still work to be done here against

123
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 1: these fanatics. Let's talk about the economy. Good news to

124
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 1: report first, The Bureau of Labor Statistics has released the

125
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: February inflation numbers core CPI, which is a statistic that

126
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: is important. It does strip out food and energy. It

127
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: came in at two and a half percent. Let's listen

128
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: to cut number seven.

129
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 10: If we strip out food and energy and come up

130
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 10: with the core expected up two tents, that's exactly where

131
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 10: it comes out, up two tents. Here we go to

132
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 10: the year over year numbers and zero progress, but not

133
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 10: losing any ground. It remains at two point four on

134
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 10: year over year headline two point four really is to

135
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 10: find the lower number. You're going back to April of

136
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 10: last year at two point three to find a higher

137
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 10: number you're at December of last year at two point seven.

138
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,239
Speaker 4: Just to give you some context there. Now, my opinion,

139
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 4: the most.

140
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 10: Important number year over year, Core remains a two point

141
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 10: five percent.

142
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: Lowest core CPI since March twenty twenty one. That was

143
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: before the Biden inflation bomb went off. And the International

144
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: Energy Agency, of which thirty two countries take part, they

145
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: have agreed unanimously to release four hundred million barrels of

146
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: oil from their collective strategic reserves. That'll be the largest

147
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: coordinated oil release in history. And oh, for those complaining

148
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: about the US strategic preserves being less than full, remember this.

149
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: Republicans tried to fill it in twenty twenty when oil

150
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 1: was twenty dollars a barrel. Democrats blocked it and they

151
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: bragged about it. And the last release came in twenty

152
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: twenty two when Biden released oil ahead of the midterm

153
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: to influence the outcome of the election. He never refilled

154
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: it afterward either. In the Senate this morning, Republican leader

155
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:44,439
Speaker 1: John Thoon announced the Save America Act will be put

156
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: on the floor very soon. This is the bill requiring

157
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: voter ID and proof of citizenship to participate in our elections.

158
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 2: Here's Thoon and cut number twelve is president.

159
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 11: I can't guarantee an outcome on this legislation, but I

160
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 11: can guarantee you that we are going to put Democrats

161
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 11: on the record, that they will be forced to defend

162
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,679
Speaker 11: their outrageous positions on these issues and explain to the

163
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 11: American people why Common Sense and the Democratic Party have

164
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 11: parted ways.

165
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 1: Now, my sources are telling me that this is unlikely

166
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: to pass.

167
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 2: The votes are not there to change.

168
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: The filibuster rules, but the debate will be had and

169
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: Democrats will go on the record again on the wrong

170
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: side of another eighty twenty issue. Let's get some news

171
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: about aches and pains, folks. Since discovering Relief Factor last summer,

172
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: it has been a revelation in the Jennings household. I

173
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: can tell you from personal experience and from my father's experience,

174
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,079
Speaker 1: it is really making a difference if you have daily

175
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 1: aches and pains, It does make a difference. However, there's

176
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 1: something new going on here. Relief Factor is always trying

177
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: to improve the product, and they have made their forms

178
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,439
Speaker 1: formula even better. They have added a premium black pepper

179
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: extract because it helps your body absorb the high quality

180
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: key ingredients more efficiently. In simple terms, it helps your

181
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 1: body get even more benefit from relief Factor that you're

182
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 1: already taking.

183
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 2: That really matters.

184
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: So if you're going to take something daily, you want

185
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: your body to use it as best it can. If

186
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 1: you've been listening to me talk about relief Factor for

187
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: a while, maybe hey, this is your moment. Or if

188
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: you're already taking relief Factor now you're getting an enhanced

189
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: formula designed to make it work even better. My advice

190
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: is to start with the three week quick start plan.

191
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 1: It's just nineteen dollars and ninety five cents. You do

192
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 1: it by visiting relief factor dot com or by calling

193
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,079
Speaker 1: one eight hundred and four relief Ask yourself how will

194
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: it feel to be out of pain? You might get

195
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: the answers from relief Factor when we come back. Democrats

196
00:10:56,160 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 1: and the brainless morons in the leftist media are losing

197
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: their minds over the Pentagon feeding our troops steak and lobster.

198
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 2: You will not believe it.

199
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: Stay with us for the details here on Salem don't

200
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: go anywhere. Hey it's Scott and I'm so excited to

201
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: welcome crowdhealth as a new partner to the Scott Jennings

202
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,839
Speaker 1: Show for several years, I'm hearing more people voicing frustration

203
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: with traditional health insurance. Bad incentives baked into Obamacare have

204
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: sent cost soaring. The rules are a maze of jargon,

205
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: and people feel stuck. That's why I want to tell

206
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: you about my new partner, Crowdhealth. Crowdhealth is an insurance.

207
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: It's a community that cuts out the middleman to help

208
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: one another fund medical expenses, giving you more freedom, fewer surprises,

209
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: and greater control over your healthcare choices. And when it

210
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 1: comes to cost, members are spending hundreds less per month

211
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: compared to traditional insurance. Right now, you can get started

212
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: for just ninety nine dollars per month for your first

213
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 1: three months. When you use the code Scott go to

00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: take your power back, and that is how we win.

218
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 12: You've heard the narratives, now get the truth. It's the

219
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 12: Scott Jennings Show.

220
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: Breaking news into the Scott Jennings Show. We're monitoring a

221
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: situation here. CBS Detroit and now another other news outlets

222
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:32,559
Speaker 1: are reporting that law enforcement a heavy law enforcement presence

223
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: as I see it on my screen here is responding

224
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: to an active shooter situation at Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, Michigan.

225
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 1: Temple Israel is on Walnut Lake Road and according to

226
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:48,319
Speaker 1: its website, is the largest reform synagogue in the United States.

227
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: You have West Bloomfield Police, the Oakland County Sheriff, and

228
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 1: Michigan State Police all on the scene. But again, it

229
00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: is an active shooter situation at a Jewish synagogue in

230
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: West Bloomfield, Michigan. We'll keep tabs on it throughout the show.

231
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: All right, moving on now, and we have to talk

232
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: about what happened on CNN last night and what is

233
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 1: happening all over left wing media today. There is a

234
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: report out from a watchdog group called Open the Books

235
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: showing that the Pentagon spent a bunch of money on

236
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 1: food in September. Lobster, tale, ribi, steak, king crab ice cream,

237
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 1: the usual end of fiscal years spending that happens under

238
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: every administration. This is how the federal budget works. The food,

239
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: by the way, is for the roughly two million troops

240
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: stationed at bases all over the world, and specifically, the

241
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 1: stake in lobster is for the troops who are currently

242
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 1: at war in the Middle East. But my dear friend

243
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 1: and fellow CNN contributor Paul Bagala and I were debating

244
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 1: on CNN about this last night, and he went on

245
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: television and with a straight face, said that Secretary of

246
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 1: War Pete Hegseith had bought millions of dollars worth of

247
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 1: lobster to eat himself. You have to take a listen

248
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: to cut number nine.

249
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 13: He has spent fifteen million dollars in one month for

250
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 13: Ribbi's steak, six point nine millions for lobster tail, two hundred.

251
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 2: And twenty five million dollars for furniture.

252
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 13: He spent more than the month of September than most

253
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 13: countries on Earth spent in their default. Do you believe

254
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 13: you were himself lobster tails?

255
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: Do you believe the Secretary of Defense is personally eating

256
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: all the lobster?

257
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 13: Well, he can't eat sixty troops, rob Oh, really, the

258
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 13: troops are getting lobs frequently a year.

259
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 4: God, troops who are going to wall, My God.

260
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 9: Great man, you know that they're getting a lobster.

261
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 4: You are you're gonna kill over this.

262
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 2: Internet do something.

263
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: Okay, you heard me there saying Internet do something, And

264
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: within forty five minutes, the Internet and specifically the X

265
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: platform had in fact done something.

266
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 2: Here's the truth about this story.

267
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: The steak and the lobster are routinely served to the troops,

268
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: especially troops who are in the theater of war, and

269
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 1: numerous videos today have popped up showing troops eating steak

270
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 1: and lobster. Now, Paul Bagala is hardly the only Democrat

271
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: who has gone out in the media and made an

272
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: absolute fool of himself on this story. You've had everybody

273
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:35,239
Speaker 1: from late night comedians like Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert

274
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: and Seth Myers. You've had members of Congress, people who

275
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: ought to know better by the way they know how

276
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: this works. You've had every Democrat pundit, all the usual

277
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: moronic talking heads tweeting and posting about this all day long.

278
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: They want you to believe that the Secretary of War

279
00:15:56,120 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 1: bought millions of dollars of lobsters and steaks and personally

280
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: consumed it himself. That is their talking point. If you

281
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 1: can believe it. That is the best the left can

282
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 1: do today. But if you spent more than three or

283
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 1: four seconds on Google or free spoke or any other

284
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 1: search engine, you would find out that it is a

285
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: long standing military tradition to feed our troops steak and lobster.

286
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 1: There are a number of veterans who've taken to the

287
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: social media platforms today to report how they in fact

288
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: ate steak in lobster and crab legs. There are a

289
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: number of troops who are in theater now who have

290
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: posted videos of their own steak and lobster meals. What

291
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: are we to conclude from all this, Well, first of all,

292
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: the left, the media left, the political left, the left

293
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 1: in general is extraordinarily dishonest, cynical, and partisan. They think

294
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: you're too stupid to know that it is long standing

295
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: military tradition to feed the troops. Number two, this shows

296
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,639
Speaker 1: you the extreme disconnect between the left and the Democratic

297
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 1: Party and our military. It is amazing that thirteen days

298
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 1: into a war you see people rooting for America to lose,

299
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: rooting for bad outcomes, and now they have moved to

300
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 1: the talking point that we should not be feeding our troops.

301
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 2: Stake and lobster, the.

302
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: People putting their lives on the line because we need

303
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: a political talking point. It's absolutely outrageous, it is dishonest,

304
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 1: it is cynical partisanship at its worst. And it shows

305
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 1: the absolute brainless depravity of the American left right now

306
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,919
Speaker 1: as they rage against anything that has to do with

307
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. Will take a break. More news and information

308
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,159
Speaker 1: after this. It's Scott Jennings on Salem. Stay with us.

309
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 1: It's Scott Jennings. You know, I've been thinking about universities.

310
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,360
Speaker 1: In most cases, they're kind of a bad deal. Six

311
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 1: figures of debt for a bachelor's degree that signals less

312
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 1: every year, four years spent navigating ideological rules instead of

313
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 1: learning how to think. Grades are inflated, standards are lower,

314
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: Dissent is punished. We call it higher education, but it's

315
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: mostly expensive daycare with a credential attached. The University of Austin,

316
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: also known as UATX, however, is different. Admissions at UATX

317
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:33,919
Speaker 1: are based on test scores alone, no essays, no resumes,

318
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 1: nobody cares who your parents know. If you're smart enough,

319
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 1: you are in UATX. Students turned down Chicago, they fled

320
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 1: Barnard to complete a demanding great books core including Aristotle,

321
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:53,919
Speaker 1: Shakespeare to Tolkville, alongside real math, science, economics, and AI.

322
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:59,399
Speaker 1: Classes are small professors actually know your name. Grades aren't padded.

323
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 1: X lens is measured and rewarded from day one. Students

324
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: work directly with top founders, investors and institutions, building companies,

325
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 1: doing serious research, and landing real internships. And here's the

326
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:19,400
Speaker 1: part that changes everything. There is no tuition. Let me repeat,

327
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:24,640
Speaker 1: no tuition. Thanks to private donors, every uat X student

328
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:28,400
Speaker 1: graduates debt free. That means when you come out, you're

329
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,679
Speaker 1: free to take risks, start companies, and build a life

330
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 1: instead of paying off loans for years. If you want

331
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: an empty credential, well look elsewhere. If you want a

332
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 1: serious education that actually prepares you to lead, I want

333
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 1: you to apply to the University of Austin. Visit Ustin

Speaker 12: But he's done the Oval Office, start owning the libs

337
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,360
Speaker 12: on CNN, he's here with us.

338
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 4: It's the Sketch Show.

339
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: It is Thursday, March the twelfth, Common sense for the

340
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 1: American people, and we are tracking breaking news. I reported

341
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 1: to you just a moment ago in West Bloomfield, Michigan.

342
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 1: There's an enormous police presence. We're seeing video now. All

343
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: sorts of police and emergency agencies are responding to a

344
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 1: synagogue in West Bloomfield, Michigan. It seems that an active

345
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:31,880
Speaker 1: shooter situation is underway. It seems now that reports are

346
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 1: a car was driven into a building at this synagogue,

347
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: and that this synagogue does have a school. We don't

348
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 1: know anything about injuries at the moment. We don't know

349
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,439
Speaker 1: much beyond what I have told you, other than this

350
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 1: is happening in West Bloomfield, and if you look at

351
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 1: what's happening, you see just a crushing police presence of

352
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: response that ought to tell us something. We'll keep tabs

353
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 1: on this story and bring you details as they come in,

354
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 1: but we'll pray for the folks at the synagogue there

355
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:07,640
Speaker 1: in West Bloomfield, Michigan. Joining me now to discuss what's

356
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: going on in Iran one of the founders of an

357
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 1: organization called the Foundation for the Defensive Democracies and the

358
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,679
Speaker 1: current president. His name is Cliff May, and we're going

359
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: to talk about the war and some of his personal

360
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 1: insights into this conflict. Cliff was actually in Iran when

361
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,640
Speaker 1: this all started forty seven years ago. Cliff, welcome back

362
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 1: into the Scott Sheending Show.

363
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:30,919
Speaker 4: Great to be with you.

364
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,640
Speaker 9: I'm a juge admirer of yours, Scott Well.

365
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: We're grateful for you and other folks affiliated with the

366
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 1: Foundation for Defensive Democracies. They've offered their expertise on the show,

367
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 1: and we're glad to have your experts anytime. I do

368
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,640
Speaker 1: want to start with this stake and lobster story. It's

369
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 1: tied up in the war. Of course, you heard me

370
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 1: reporting on this a few minutes ago. The Democrats and

371
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: the left and the media have decided that Pete Hegseth

372
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 1: was wrong to keep up this military tradition of feeding

373
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 1: the troops well as they are in the theater of combat.

374
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 2: You've been watching this unfold. What are your thoughts?

375
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 9: Well, I heard your arguments, and I got to say

376
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 9: that this idea that there's a scandal over steak and

377
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 9: lobster is a nothing burger.

378
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 2: I also want to say.

379
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 9: I also want to say my father service in the

380
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 9: South Pacific during World War Two. My son was a

381
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 9: ranger tabbed paratrooper. He spent a lot of time eating

382
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 9: mrs for those who don't know, that means meals ready

383
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:39,439
Speaker 9: to eat. I have sampled these, I'd rather have a salad.

384
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,439
Speaker 1: If you just go on the internet and look up

385
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:47,160
Speaker 1: articles about this, there's reporting, lots of reporting about how

386
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,679
Speaker 1: we routinely feed the troops steak and lobster on certain days,

387
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 1: particularly when they are deployed, and particularly when they're deployed

388
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: in the theater of war. There's a military dot com article,

389
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: in fact, from just a few days ago, about how

390
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 1: the troops were in the Middle East getting their steak

391
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 1: and lobster. You know what kills me about this story

392
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 1: is the two things. The wilful attempt to mislead the

393
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 1: American people about what's going on here using a serious situation,

394
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 1: which is our war effort. But then how quickly the

395
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 1: narrative on the left spreads. When they want to drive

396
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: a false narrative, they can do it almost instantly. And

397
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:32,680
Speaker 1: you see the narrative begins at every politician, every late

398
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 1: night host, every pundit, everybody who is a mouthpiece for

399
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 1: the left. They salute, they get on it without question.

400
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 1: They don't even stop to think about whether they're making

401
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 1: fools out of themselves, which is what happened to me

402
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 1: with my debating partner last night on CNN. You sort

403
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 1: of have to marvel at the ruthless dishonesty that they

404
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 1: deploy on stories like this, Cliff, the.

405
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 9: Ruthless society, and the extraordinary organizational abilities from a communications

406
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:08,119
Speaker 9: perspective to say, this can be the scandal of the day,

407
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 9: This can be how we bring disrepute to the effort

408
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 9: to defang an enemy of the United States and has

409
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 9: had that has been an enemy for forty seven years.

410
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: And I'm glad you brought that up, because I'm also

411
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 1: hearing a lot of left pundits and left politicians continue

412
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,400
Speaker 1: to say things like, well, you know, we've we've got

413
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,439
Speaker 1: no idea why we're fighting Iran, We've heard no rationale

414
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 1: about why Iran might be a problem. We don't even

415
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 1: really know what we're doing over there, which again is

416
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:45,160
Speaker 1: also extraordinarily dishonest. On two fronts. The President, secretary of State,

417
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: Secretary of War have all been very clear about what

418
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 1: we're doing. But number two, and as you well know

419
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 1: because you were there as a young reporter, we've been

420
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 1: at war essentially with Iran for forty seven years because

421
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 1: they've been a war with us. Tell us about your

422
00:24:58,480 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 1: experience there.

423
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 9: Well, Yes, to your point. Specifically, death to America began

424
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 9: to be shouted really at the end of nineteen seventy eight,

425
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 9: but certainly in nineteen seventy nine in January. The Shah

426
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 9: left in February first, I believe it was the Iatolaurala

427
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 9: Kamani returned to Iran. I came there a few days later.

428
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 9: Death to America is a declaration of war. Think about

429
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 9: it now. The first act of war, I would say,

430
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 9: came later in nineteen seventy nine. That would be in

431
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 9: November when our embassy in Tehran was seized and our

432
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,399
Speaker 9: diplomats were taken hostage at Hell for four hundred and

433
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 9: forty four days. That is an act of war. It

434
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,360
Speaker 9: was not the last act of war. Another one followed

435
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 9: four years later, nineteen eighty three in Beirut, when this

436
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 9: regime orchestrated the slaughter of several hundred American peacekeepers. There

437
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 9: have been acts of war continually over that time. This

438
00:25:55,280 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 9: regime armed, instructed, and funded Shia militias during the war

439
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:04,640
Speaker 9: in Iraq, killing over six hundred American military personnels, more

440
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 9: than a thousand people have been killed, They've attempted assassinations

441
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:13,959
Speaker 9: and succeeded in some cases, and kidnappings in Europe and America.

442
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 9: There's no statute of limitations on this. We don't have

443
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 9: to say what we did. What we have said at

444
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 9: various times is where we will respond at the time

445
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 9: of our own choosing. I may remember President Obama said

446
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 9: that after an attempt to assassinate the Saudi ambassador at

447
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 9: a very swanky restaurant from Georgetown here in Washington. This,

448
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 9: in other words, Iran, the Islamic Republic Iran, not that

449
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 9: people have ran, have been waging, have declared a war,

450
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 9: have been waging a war for years. We are now

451
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 9: responding to it in an effective way for the first time.

452
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:49,880
Speaker 9: And I'll just mention one of more things Scott here.

453
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 9: Presidents from George W. Bush, Barack Obama, they've all said

454
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,679
Speaker 9: this regime cannot have nuclear weapons. None of them have

455
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 9: done anything to prevent that. The JCPOA, the Joint Comprehensive

456
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 9: Plan of Action, which was not a plan. It was

457
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 9: not comprehensive, It involved no action of President Obama. The

458
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,879
Speaker 9: Iran Nuclear Deal would not have prevented the development the

459
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 9: acquisition of nuclear weapons at most, who would have delayed

460
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 9: that until President Obama was out of office, in other words,

461
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 9: kicking the can and supplied billions and billions of dollars

462
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 9: to the regime to use to fund its terrorist proxies,

463
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 9: including Heswela, the Huthis, Palst and Islamic Jihad and Hamas.

464
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 1: That voicer here in, Cliff Mays, the head of the

465
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 1: Foundation for Defensive Democracies, Cliff, let's get caught up here

466
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 1: on the news of the day. In this war thirteen

467
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,119
Speaker 1: days in, there's no doubt the US military and the

468
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 1: Israeli military have had amazing success. We are dealing with

469
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 1: this issue in the golf Are and the Strait of

470
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 1: Horror moves.

471
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 2: The new leader of Iran.

472
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 1: Says that the attacks and the Strait of Horror moves

473
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 1: will continue.

474
00:27:58,040 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 2: Actually, let's listen to this.

475
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 1: The President talked a little bit about this yesterday when

476
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 1: he was in Kentucky, because Iran is now saying they're

477
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 1: going to put mines out there to try to further

478
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 1: target vessels going through the strait.

479
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:11,920
Speaker 2: Here's the President and cut number three.

480
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 6: They started talking about mind so we hit twenty eight

481
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 6: mind shifts as of this moment. Twenty eight, like using

482
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 6: the same weapon, the exact same weapon that we use

483
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:26,400
Speaker 6: against the drug dealers in the water.

484
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:28,119
Speaker 2: Cliff.

485
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 1: Talk to us about the Strait of Hormuz, talk to

486
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,439
Speaker 1: us about the mines, and you know the way the

487
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 1: average American is going to feel this is, of course,

488
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 1: in the disruption of oil logistics that flow through there.

489
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts?

490
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 9: Absolutely right, So this is enormously consequential. The President is

491
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 9: doing what he can to stop the mining of the

492
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 9: Strait of Hormuse, which is an international waterway. Freedom of

493
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 9: the seas is one of the oldest of international laws.

494
00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 9: Either the US enforces it or nobody does. If we allow,

495
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 9: at the end of this exercise for this regime to

496
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 9: exist and to have control of that waterway, that will

497
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:10,959
Speaker 9: be a very bad thing. They'll say, when and ships

498
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 9: can go through, and when ships can't go through, kind

499
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 9: of like what the Huthis have done for the Arabian

500
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 9: Sea and the Suez Canal, and that's straight there called

501
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 9: the Bab al Mandab. If the US has control of

502
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 9: the Strait of Hormuz at the end of this exercise,

503
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 9: that will be usually important, we can say properly. So

504
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 9: we are enforcing freedom of the seas, to keep this open,

505
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 9: to make sure the international economy is good. By the way,

506
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 9: the Chijing ping and Beijing will understand what that means.

507
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 9: The oil he depends on, it's not it's not oil

508
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 9: for America that we don't depend on oil coming through that.

509
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 9: Now oil he depends on depends on his good relations

510
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 9: with the US usually important. Now, need to get rid

511
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 9: of the missiles. You need to get rid of the drones.

512
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 9: You need to get rid of the various ships that

513
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 9: drop mines. They can drop my off Dow's too, but

514
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 9: that tends to close us straight entirely. What they're trying

515
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 9: to do now is let ships go through with oil

516
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 9: for China, but not for anybody else. We should control

517
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 9: the straight or promoose at the end of this exercise.

518
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 9: It's worth three p fifty gasoline for a few weeks

519
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 9: to do that.

520
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 1: Cliff May, with a Foundation for Defensive Democracy, they'll give

521
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 1: you the last word on this. I think the average

522
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 1: American is looking at this and saying, yeah, I get it,

523
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 1: the Iranians are bad, and I get it that we

524
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 1: can't permit them to have these offensive weapons and nuclear missiles.

525
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 1: But I need to hear how we are going to

526
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 1: end this and what is the definition of victory here

527
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 1: in your mind? How should the president define that? When

528
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 1: should he tell the American people that we have met

529
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 1: our objectives?

530
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 9: Well, he can say at the point at which this

531
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 9: regime is defanged, has no offensive military capabilities, no defensive

532
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 9: military capabilities, doesn't need those, has no enemies, if it

533
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 9: doesn't threaten its neighbors. He could say it. Then I'd

534
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 9: rather he go further. That's hard, I understand for all

535
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 9: kinds of reasons, whether it's as you say, Democrats saying yes,

536
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 9: but what a scandal lobster and steak has gone to

537
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 9: our troops, or whether the price of gasoline is three

538
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 9: fifty a gallon on average. But I would like to

539
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 9: see this regime decisively defeated. When you don't decisively defeat

540
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 9: a regime, then the war continues. That's the way you

541
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 9: get endless wars, when you allow your enemy to get

542
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 9: up off the mat, go back to his corner, get

543
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 9: a drink of water, wash up, and come back and

544
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 9: fight you again. We had unconditional surrender in World War Two.

545
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 9: Germany and Japan became our allies. We had an armistice

546
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 9: with the North Koreans. That meant that war never ended.

547
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 9: We still have troops in South Korea twenty eight thousand currently,

548
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 9: and they now have because of diplomatic failures by President

549
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 9: Clinton and others, nuclear weapons and increasingly sophisticated missiles to

550
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 9: deliver them. That's the problem.

551
00:31:56,840 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 1: Cliff May Foundation for Defense of Democracies, Thanks for joining us.

552
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 1: We're going to continue to draw up on your expertise

553
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 1: and the expertise of the excellent team you have at

554
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 1: the FDD. We're going to continue following this breaking news

555
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 1: here on the Scott Jenning Show. It is in West Bloomfield, Michigan.

556
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 1: Police are calling it an active situation. A car crashed

557
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 1: into the Temple Israel and West Bloomfield, Michigan. It's the

558
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 1: largest reform synagogue in the United States. There is a

559
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 1: school at this synagogue. There's also reports that the car

560
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 1: has caught fire. There's a massive police presence. Some are

561
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 1: calling this active shooter. The details are obviously still coming

562
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 1: in and perhaps changing by the minute. Here at the

563
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 1: Scott Jennings Show, We're going to continue tracking this story

564
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 1: for you for the rest of the day. We don't

565
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 1: have any information yet on anyone who's been injured, or

566
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,720
Speaker 1: what is happening inside this building, or inside this temple

567
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 1: or even inside the school. I am looking at images

568
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 1: right now. I see smoke billowing from the top of

569
00:32:56,680 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 1: a building. So we'll pray for the people who are inside.

570
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 1: A quick word and we're going to talk to the

571
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 1: head of the IFCJ here in just a moment. The

572
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 1: International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. They're helping out in

573
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 1: the Holy Land is Operation Epic Fury rages on. They're

574
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 1: supporting Israel's most vulnerable, the sick, the elderly, the children,

575
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 1: and the families. They depend on the Fellowship at times

576
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 1: like these when they are under threat. If you would

577
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 1: like to join them in prayerful support, go to SUPPORTIFCJ

578
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 1: dot org SUPPORTIFCJ dot org. Yale Extein with the Fellowship.

579
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 2: Is coming up next.

580
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 1: An important conversation you don't want to miss here on

581
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 1: the Scott Jennings Show. You know, gold and silver recently

582
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 1: soared to record highs and then pulled back. So our

583
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 1: precious metal still a goodbye. Many Wall Street experts predict

584
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 1: higher prices ahead. Why well, because we still have trillions

585
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 1: A national debt, a declining dollar and inflation that keeps

586
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 1: shrinking our savings. Even with corrections along the way, gold

587
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 1: remains a historical hedge for wealth protection. That's why Morgan

588
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 1: Stanley's chief investment officer ditched the sixty forty stocks and

589
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 1: bonds portfolio and is recommending up to twenty percent in

590
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 1: precious metals.

Speaker 12: The very definition I've never backed down Here Scott Jennings.

601
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 1: It is Thursday, March the twelve, breaking news here on

602
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 1: the Scott Jennings Show. The Jewish Federation of Detroit is

603
00:34:56,719 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 1: asking all Jewish organizations to go into lockdown to call.

604
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 1: FBI personnel now on the scene with other police agencies

605
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:09,280
Speaker 1: in Michigan. Responding to the apparent vehicle ramming and active

606
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 1: shooter situation at the Temple Israel Synagogue in West Bloomfield Township, Michigan. Now,

607
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:21,799
Speaker 1: according to the website of this temple, the school there

608
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:26,760
Speaker 1: was not in session today and no activities or events

609
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 1: were on the calendar until one thirty today, So you

610
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:32,799
Speaker 1: would hope and pray there was a limited crowd at

611
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:36,360
Speaker 1: the facility. The Temple Israel's website says it is the

612
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:40,279
Speaker 1: largest reform synagogue in the nation. But based on the

613
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 1: images we're seeing right now, a car rammed into a building,

614
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:48,280
Speaker 1: it's also being called an active shooter situation. We see

615
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 1: some smoke coming out of a building, and we see

616
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 1: a massive police presence here at the Temple Israel in

617
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 1: West Bloomfield Township, Michigan. We're going to keep an eye

618
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 1: on this story for the rest of the afternoon. My

619
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 1: next guest here on the show the president and global

620
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 1: CEO of a company that you often hear us talking

621
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,840
Speaker 1: about here on the show, the International Fellowship of Christians

622
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:15,840
Speaker 1: and Jews, an important organization that does amazing work around

623
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 1: the globe. I'd like to welcome into the Scott Jenning.

624
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:19,840
Speaker 2: Show, Yale x STEM.

625
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 1: She is the President and Global CEO of the IFCJ

626
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:27,319
Speaker 1: are great partners here at Salemon at the Scott Jennings Show. Yale,

627
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 1: welcome in and we're glad to have you today.

628
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:32,240
Speaker 5: Thank you so much, Scott.

629
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:33,400
Speaker 14: Thank you for having me.

630
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 1: Well, thank you for this. And as you know, we

631
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 1: talk about you often here on the show. Tell us

632
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:41,800
Speaker 1: what is going on in the Holy Land right now

633
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 1: with the people that you support. You all provide all

634
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 1: sorts of aid, critical aid to people, but kind of

635
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 1: give us an idea of what you're doing and what

636
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:54,920
Speaker 1: IFCJ personnel are seeing in Israel as Operation Epic Fury continues.

637
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 14: Well, we've been on the ground since this war began

638
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,919
Speaker 14: almost two weeks ago, in every single city and it's

639
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 14: unique what's happening the past two weeks because I don't

640
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:08,839
Speaker 14: think there's anyone in the entire country of Israel who

641
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:12,240
Speaker 14: isn't affected by this. We've had I Ran launch ballistic

642
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 14: missiles at Israel and drones and Krasabella Joy. Yesterday there

643
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 14: were over two hundred rockets launched by Rasbella. I live

644
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:22,839
Speaker 14: in northern Israel, right over my town, and so there's

645
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 14: no one that's not affected, and so what we do

646
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:27,239
Speaker 14: at the fellowship is we look at the people who

647
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 14: would otherwise not have the care that they need, that

648
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 14: they feel forgotten and neglected. And what we're seeing now

649
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 14: is that it's the elderly who are suffering the most.

650
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 14: We heard that there were a lot of caregivers who

651
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 14: aren't showing up to these elderly homes since the war began.

652
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 14: So for two weeks, I haven't han edone went to

653
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 14: do shopping for them or to cook for them. And

654
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 14: I've been on the field. I went to a women's

655
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:54,400
Speaker 14: house ninety two years old and her caregiver hasn't shown up.

656
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:57,759
Speaker 14: Her windows were cracked from rocket attacks, and when I

657
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 14: came in, she started crying from joy. And I brought

658
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 14: her the food and prepared meals and food boxes. And

659
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 14: as I was unpacking these food boxes, a siren went

660
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 14: off that this is the reality. All of us here

661
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 14: are putting ourselves in danger to let the people of

662
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 14: Israel know that they're not.

663
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 1: Alone, and for our audience around the United States in

664
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 1: order to help this effort, SUPPORTIFCJ dot org. That is

665
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 1: the website, SUPPORTIFCJ dot org. We have people in Israel

666
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 1: right now and as you mentioned, elderly, vulnerable, sick children,

667
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 1: people with young children. Give us an idea at Yale,

668
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 1: how often are you hearing these sirens? How often are

669
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:42,280
Speaker 1: you having to scramble into bomb shelters where people desperately

670
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 1: need this help.

671
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:47,759
Speaker 14: Well, I am one of the really lucky ones. I

672
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 14: feel so blessed that I have a shelter in my home.

673
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 14: I have four children, and last night we had four

674
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:57,239
Speaker 14: sirens throughout the night, which means we try to go

675
00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 14: to sleep and the air sirens start blaring in our

676
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 14: our phone starts beeping and we have sixty seconds to

677
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:04,759
Speaker 14: make it into the shelter, to get our kids and

678
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 14: make it to safety. And for people that don't have

679
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:09,920
Speaker 14: a shelter, this is one of the most difficult things.

680
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 5: And so the.

681
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 14: Fellowship is actually placing mobile shelters across Israel. These are

682
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 14: shelters that are made with a lot of concrete in

683
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 14: a factory and then they're put in the back of

684
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 14: a truck and with a crane they're lifted up and

685
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 14: put down in the most vulnerable areas where there are

686
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:27,880
Speaker 14: children and elderly. And actually two days ago we placed

687
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:31,359
Speaker 14: half a dozen of these shelters in central Israel, and

688
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 14: every single one of them was used within one hour.

689
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:35,840
Speaker 4: Wow.

690
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 1: Yale Eckstein is the President and Global CEO of the

691
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 1: International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. If you want to

692
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:47,480

694
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 1: attacks from Hesbola, here's what I want you to do.

695
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 1: Go to SUPPORTIFCJ dot org. Pray for the people of Israel,

696
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 1: support the IFCG. They need our support right now as

697
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 1: the United States and Israel face down this terrorism.

698
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:07,400
Speaker 2: Yale, thank you for coming on.

699
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 1: We'll have you back. We'll keep talking about the Fellowship,

700
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:11,839
Speaker 1: and we pray for you and pray for the work

701
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:14,320
Speaker 1: that you're doing. Another hour is ahead. Breaking news on

702
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:16,759
Speaker 1: the Scott Jenning Show. We'll have details right after this.

703
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 1: The Voice of free Speech, the truth delivered common sense

704
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 1: for the American people. Welcome to the Scott Jenning Show.

705
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:31,319
Speaker 1: All right, It's Thursday, March the twelfth, and we are

706
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 1: tracking breaking news here on the Scott Jenning Show on Salem.

707
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what we know. There has been a

708
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 1: car rammed into the Temple Israel Synagogue in West Bloomfield

709
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:47,880
Speaker 1: Hills Township, Michigan, West Bloomfield Township, Michigan. Make sure I

710
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 1: get that correct. It's a suburb of Detroit. A car

711
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:54,759
Speaker 1: was rammed into a building. This situation was described as

712
00:40:54,800 --> 00:41:00,280
Speaker 1: an active shooter situation. Law enforcement sources are now selling

713
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 1: CNN that the suspect here is dead. We don't know

714
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 1: how the suspect was killed. We don't know if that

715
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 1: was police, We don't know if that was from the

716
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 1: car being rammed.

717
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 2: We don't know if that was from suicide.

718
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 1: But we do believe law enforcement telling CNN that the

719
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 1: suspect is dead. We also have no details on what's

720
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:24,399
Speaker 1: going on inside. I'm looking at some images right now.

721
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:26,759
Speaker 1: I see smoke coming out of the synagogue. There is

722
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 1: a school at the synagogue, and one law enforcement source

723
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 1: did say there were quite a few people on this campus.

724
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:35,000
Speaker 2: It's a rather large campus.

725
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:39,799
Speaker 1: The Temple Israel is the largest reform synagogue in the

726
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:43,399
Speaker 1: United States, so we're talking about a fairly large facility here.

727
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 1: But again, the breaking news is that someone rammed their

728
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:49,400
Speaker 1: car into this temple. There is a school there. It

729
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 1: was described as active shooter. You had state police, local police,

730
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:55,919
Speaker 1: and the FBI on the scene and now we're hearing

731
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,480
Speaker 1: that the suspect is dead. We don't have any information

732
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 1: about possible injuries on the inside of the synagogue. We

733
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 1: will keep tracking this for the rest of the hour. Also,

734
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 1: two people were injured this morning, and is shooting on

735
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:13,319
Speaker 1: campus at Old Dominion University this in Norfolk, Virginia. The

736
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 1: shooting took place shortly before ten forty nine am. A

737
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:21,480
Speaker 1: gunman opened fire in Constant Hall, which has classrooms and

738
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:24,920
Speaker 1: lecture halls. We don't know who the injured parties are,

739
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 1: but we do know that the shooter was neutralized by

740
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:31,200
Speaker 1: the police and we know the gunman. In Norfolk, there

741
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:35,520
Speaker 1: is dead a scary scene on campus at Old Dominion

742
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:38,759
Speaker 1: University this morning. And one bit of legislative news, a

743
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:42,319
Speaker 1: moment of bipartisanship in the Senate this morning. On an

744
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 1: eighty nine to ten vote, a housing bill has passed

745
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 1: the Senate. It was sponsored by Elizabeth Warren and Senator

746
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 1: Tim Scott. The bill aims to boost housing supply and

747
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:58,880
Speaker 1: prevent Wall Street from buying up single family homes. So

748
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 1: this goes over to the House for action. But we

749
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:05,400
Speaker 1: did see some bypartisanship in the United States Senate this morning,

750
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:09,359
Speaker 1: new analysis from the Congressional Budget Office has found a

751
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:13,960
Speaker 1: lot of spending, massive amount of spending on gender treatments

752
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:17,880
Speaker 1: and surgeries for minors over a five year period. And

753
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 1: returning to the Scott Jennings Show today, our friend and

754
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 1: intrepid reporter Ben Ryan is here. You can find all

755
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 1: of Ben's writing on his substack and I encourage you

756
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 1: to visit it and subscribe at Benryan dot substack dot com. Ben,

757
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:37,880
Speaker 1: you are looking at this Congressional Budget Office analysis on

758
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:41,799
Speaker 1: the Children's Health Insurance program. Tell us what you have

759
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:44,880
Speaker 1: found out about these numbers. I think the data is

760
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:47,759
Speaker 1: rather shocking, all.

761
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:50,239
Speaker 15: Right, thanks for having me, Scott. So is chip in

762
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:53,920
Speaker 15: Children's Health Insurance program as well as Medicaid. The Congressional

763
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:58,120
Speaker 15: Budget Office found in our recently released report that over

764
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 15: a five year period ending in twenty two twenty three,

765
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 15: that the government spent one hundred and thirty five million

766
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 15: dollars in taxpayer funds on gender transition treatments and surgeries

767
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:12,120
Speaker 15: for miners. That includes purbity blockers, prosex hormones, and surgeries

768
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:14,960
Speaker 15: which are largely mistectomies in miners.

769
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:19,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, this sounds I mean over one hundred million dollars,

770
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:21,799
Speaker 1: and so this is taking place between twenty nineteen and

771
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:26,240
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three. What does this data tell you about

772
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:31,319
Speaker 1: how common these treatments were among miners on medicaid during

773
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:33,400
Speaker 1: this period?

774
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:33,839
Speaker 4: Right?

775
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 15: One thing to note is that purbity blockers themselves were

776
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:39,040
Speaker 15: extremely expensive, So that's the bulk of this spending that

777
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:42,600
Speaker 15: we see here. This report didn't give actual numbers, it

778
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:46,840
Speaker 15: gave rates. So for example, over this an average of

779
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 15: this five year period, about one point four per one

780
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:54,480
Speaker 15: thousand and seventeen year old biological girls we're taking testosterone

781
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 15: by that age, and the rate was about half that

782
00:44:57,200 --> 00:44:59,440
Speaker 15: for biological males taking estrogen.

783
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 5: And now similarly, a nonprofit.

784
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:04,719
Speaker 15: Advocacy group called Do No Harm, which opposes these types

785
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:06,840
Speaker 15: of treatment, they did an analysis that came out in

786
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:10,240
Speaker 15: October of twenty twenty four, and they found very similar

787
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:14,319
Speaker 15: patterns of what ages these children were using these drugs

788
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:18,080
Speaker 15: of peuberty blockers versus across the hormones. And they estimated

789
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:20,319
Speaker 15: that one hundred and twenty million dollars have been spent

790
00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 15: by private insurers during that same five year period, and

791
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:27,520
Speaker 15: that fourteen thousand miners had received either these treatment surgeries

792
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:31,400
Speaker 15: or both, So we can guess that that figure, considering

793
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:33,319
Speaker 15: that we also need to add the medicaid on top

794
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:36,319
Speaker 15: of that, is likely pretty large. And one thing I

795
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:38,600
Speaker 15: really want to point out is that it looked like

796
00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:42,439
Speaker 15: puerity blocker rates were pretty low across the age range

797
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:45,359
Speaker 15: from nine to seventeen that they analyzed, because puberty can

798
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:48,759
Speaker 15: start as young as nine. But where we really saw

799
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:51,320
Speaker 15: you should swoop up was around the age of fourteen

800
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:54,960
Speaker 15: for natal girls and fifteen for biological boys. So what

801
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:57,719
Speaker 15: this suggests is that the narrative that you always hear

802
00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:00,799
Speaker 15: about these treatments is that they're there to prevent the

803
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 15: wrong puberty, is really largely misplaced. It's really only a

804
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:08,000
Speaker 15: fraction of miners who get these drugs. We're getting them

805
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:11,800
Speaker 15: at the immediate onset of puberty. The most common miners

806
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:15,359
Speaker 15: who receive these treatments are natal girls who start them

807
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:18,239
Speaker 15: at the end of or after they've finished puberty. So

808
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:21,279
Speaker 15: really that changes the frame of the question is, so

809
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:25,080
Speaker 15: what is exactly the rush if you've already completed puberty?

810
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:28,319
Speaker 1: Anyway, I know some of the people who've looked at

811
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 1: your reporting here been were sort of shocked at the

812
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:35,719
Speaker 1: number of double mastectomies among teenage girls. Tell us what

813
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:39,319
Speaker 1: the data says about how common that particular kind of

814
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:40,320
Speaker 1: surgery had become.

815
00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:44,320
Speaker 15: It's a lot less common than receiving these drugs.

816
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:45,600
Speaker 5: Maybe a tenth is common.

817
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:49,480
Speaker 15: But Lyris a peer who is who studies pediatric gender

818
00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:53,000
Speaker 15: medicine at the Manhattan Institute. He's done a non peer

819
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:56,280
Speaker 15: reviewed analysis and he found that about one thousand natal

820
00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:59,080
Speaker 15: girls per year. We're getting messed actines for a gender

821
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:03,880
Speaker 15: transition during recent years. Now, after about twenty three, twenty

822
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:06,840
Speaker 15: twenty four, state bans started to come in place. Twenty

823
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:09,960
Speaker 15: seven states have banned these practices, and the Supreme Court

824
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:13,680
Speaker 15: validated those bands found they were not unconstitutional in twenty

825
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:16,279
Speaker 15: twenty five. So now about half the country has banned this,

826
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:19,600
Speaker 15: and the Trump administration is going full bore to attack

827
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:22,840
Speaker 15: this industry in the remaining Blue states and is threatening

828
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:26,560
Speaker 15: many hospitals with provoking all of their Medicaid funding. So

829
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:28,680
Speaker 15: a lot of the big clinics are starting to close.

830
00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:31,239
Speaker 15: We're seeing in New York State not Sinai and Yu

831
00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:33,959
Speaker 15: Lan gone, but then Tis James, who's the state ag

832
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:37,440
Speaker 15: attorney general, she's threatened to sue those hospitals. So they're

833
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:40,080
Speaker 15: really in a pickle about whether they're supposed to obey

834
00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:42,400
Speaker 15: the state ag who they probably signed with, or the

835
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:45,160
Speaker 15: threats from the Trump administration.

836
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:48,320
Speaker 1: And ben at a policy level, we've seen some of

837
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:52,640
Speaker 1: the large medical organizations in the United States began to

838
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:54,840
Speaker 1: move away from this, begin to change their posture. The

839
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:58,440
Speaker 1: plastic surgeons, the AMA, what can you tell us about that?

840
00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:01,160
Speaker 1: I assume what you're going to find out here, and

841
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:03,239
Speaker 1: what we'll know is that after twenty three, where this

842
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:06,600
Speaker 1: data set ends, and because of the changes you're mentioning,

843
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:09,080
Speaker 1: and now because of the other people moving away from

844
00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:11,280
Speaker 1: this other organization, we're going to see a massive drop

845
00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:13,560
Speaker 1: off on this. You agree with that, absolutely.

846
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:15,880
Speaker 15: We already started to see that in the to Do

847
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:17,880
Speaker 15: No Harm data that in twenty twenty three in the

848
00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:21,239
Speaker 15: Blue States where these treatments were still legal, there was

849
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:23,640
Speaker 15: a drop off pretty consistently from state to state.

850
00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:24,680
Speaker 4: We don't know why.

851
00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 15: It could be a drop in demand, or it could

852
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:29,800
Speaker 15: be that physicians are concerned, for example, about lawsuits and

853
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:34,120
Speaker 15: becoming more cautious and so as for the America Society

854
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:38,240
Speaker 15: of Plastic Surgeons, last month, they announced a long awaited

855
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 15: stance on surgeries for miners. They said that they were

856
00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:43,920
Speaker 15: opposed to them given the weakness of the evidence, and

857
00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:47,200
Speaker 15: that practitioners should wait until you are nineteen years old. Now,

858
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:49,839
Speaker 15: nineteen also happens to be the age that the Trump

859
00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:53,960
Speaker 15: administration prefers for banning these treatments, or effectively banning them

860
00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:57,560
Speaker 15: by threatening to withhold Medicaid funding. So that's an interesting

861
00:48:57,719 --> 00:49:00,879
Speaker 15: parallel between those two figures, whether or not there were

862
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:05,280
Speaker 15: politics involved. But right after the ASPS announced that policy

863
00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:07,560
Speaker 15: and also said that they were concerned about the evidence

864
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:11,440
Speaker 15: space for these treatments, the American Medical Association said that

865
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:15,720
Speaker 15: the essentially agreed with the ASPS and that in general

866
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:18,200
Speaker 15: is better to defer until age nineteen. But as for

867
00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:21,480
Speaker 15: all the other major medical associations, such as the American

868
00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:24,319
Speaker 15: Academy Pediatrics, they seem to be holding firm at least

869
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:24,839
Speaker 15: at this time.

870
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:28,000
Speaker 1: Interesting, well, we'll see what they do in the future.

871
00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:30,000
Speaker 1: It seems like we're having a bit of a shift

872
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:32,600
Speaker 1: here on it, but not everybody has moved just yet.

873
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:35,000
Speaker 1: That voice you're hearing is Ben Ryan. He's one of

874
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:37,880
Speaker 1: the best reporters out there on this and other topics,

875
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:40,560
Speaker 1: and I highly encourage you to look for his writing

876
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:44,680
Speaker 1: on his substack at Benryan dot substack dot com. Ben,

877
00:49:44,719 --> 00:49:48,640
Speaker 1: we appreciate always your fact based reporting. You're straightforward reporting

878
00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:49,840
Speaker 1: and we look forward to having you back on the

879
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:50,680
Speaker 1: Scott Chenning Show.

880
00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:52,960
Speaker 5: Thanks a lot, Scott.

881
00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:56,320
Speaker 1: All right, when we come back, we're going to continue

882
00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:58,440
Speaker 1: to follow the breaking news out of Michigan. There was

883
00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:02,560
Speaker 1: an attack on a Senegal in Michigan and it appears

884
00:50:02,600 --> 00:50:05,520
Speaker 1: the suspect is dead and now law enforcement sources are

885
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:09,080
Speaker 1: telling CNN there have been no other injuries. Thank god.

886
00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:11,840
Speaker 1: We're going to track this through the commercial break and

887
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:13,680
Speaker 1: come back with it. I do want to give you

888
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:17,920
Speaker 1: a quick word from relief Factor. Since discovering relief Factor

889
00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:20,640
Speaker 1: in the Jennings household, the word is this, we like

890
00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:22,640
Speaker 1: it and it works. I'm going to tell you about

891
00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:25,400
Speaker 1: my dad. No spring chicken butt. He's hopping around like

892
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:28,960
Speaker 1: one and it's because he thinks he's taking a relief

893
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:30,919
Speaker 1: factor every single day's playing golf.

894
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:32,400
Speaker 2: He's enjoying his retirement.

895
00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:33,680
Speaker 1: In fact, he and I are going to take a

896
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:36,120
Speaker 1: little trip together this weekend and we'll talk about it.

897
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:38,200
Speaker 1: I'm sure while we're on the road. But if you're

898
00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:41,360
Speaker 1: having daily aches, and pains. Honestly, you have nothing to

899
00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:44,319
Speaker 1: lose here. It's nineteen dollars and ninety five cents. They

900
00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:46,839
Speaker 1: have this thing called the three week Quick Start. You

901
00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:48,520

Speaker 1: of pain? Well you might find out from Relief Factor

906
00:50:58,280 --> 00:51:00,399
Speaker 1: when we come back. More on this breaking new out

907
00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:02,680
Speaker 1: of Michigan and other stories on the Scott Jennings Show.

908
00:51:02,719 --> 00:51:05,200
Speaker 12: Stay with us fighting the left with the best weapon

909
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:07,200
Speaker 12: we have, common sense.

910
00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:09,560
Speaker 4: This is the Scott Jennings Show.

911
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:13,480
Speaker 1: Hey is Thursday, March the twelfth. We're breaking news here

912
00:51:13,480 --> 00:51:16,719
Speaker 1: at the Scott Jennings Show. Two unfortunate incidents to tell

913
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:18,239
Speaker 1: you about and update you on.

914
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:20,040
Speaker 2: The gunman.

915
00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:25,840
Speaker 1: The suspect, the assailant against the synagogue in West Bloomfield Township,

916
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:30,440
Speaker 1: Michigan is deceased and some law enforcement is saying that

917
00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:34,920
Speaker 1: the suspect here is badly burned. So a car rammed

918
00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:40,240
Speaker 1: into a synagogue in West Bloomfield Township just outside of Detroit, Michigan.

919
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:45,040
Speaker 1: That person is dead. There are no other injuries reported

920
00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:48,279
Speaker 1: at this moment, thank goodness, but the suspect is dead,

921
00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:50,719
Speaker 1: so we're tracking that one. And this morning there was

922
00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:54,600
Speaker 1: a shooting at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia. We're

923
00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:59,520
Speaker 1: now hearing that both the suspect and one victim in

924
00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:02,759
Speaker 1: that sh shooting is dead. We don't have any details

925
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:05,640
Speaker 1: on the shooter or the victim, but we're now hearing

926
00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:08,440
Speaker 1: that one of the victims that was shot in this

927
00:52:08,520 --> 00:52:12,720
Speaker 1: attack is dead. So one killed, two injured at Old Dominion.

928
00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:16,200
Speaker 1: The suspect is dead in West Bloomfield, Michigan. And we

929
00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:19,320
Speaker 1: are tracking down details and tracking all the breaking information

930
00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:23,080
Speaker 1: on all of these incidents here on the Scott Jenning Show.

931
00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:26,200
Speaker 1: We're also tracking other news today, and to do a

932
00:52:26,239 --> 00:52:29,160
Speaker 1: story out of New York City, I'm welcoming in the

933
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:33,480
Speaker 1: vice president of communications at the State Policy Network, Brooke Madina.

934
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:37,760
Speaker 1: Brook has an article in the Washington Examiner. The title

935
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:42,239
Speaker 1: is Champagne. Socialism is forced to raise its glass to

936
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:43,680
Speaker 1: economic reality.

937
00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:44,000
Speaker 2: Brook.

938
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:47,360
Speaker 1: You're tracking what's happening with the budget under socialist mayor

939
00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:50,799
Speaker 1: Mom Donnie in New York City. Tell us about it, Brooke,

940
00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:52,200
Speaker 1: and welcome to the Scott Jenning Show.

941
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:57,080
Speaker 16: Thank you for having me, Scott, And yes, the budget

942
00:52:57,120 --> 00:52:59,680
Speaker 16: is something to be hold there, not only because of

943
00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:02,879
Speaker 16: its hemoth size. I'll note that it is actually ten

944
00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:06,319
Speaker 16: billion more than the whole state of Florida's budget, but

945
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:09,160
Speaker 16: because Mayor Mom Donnie just seems to like to do

946
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:14,359
Speaker 16: socialism cosplay. He likes to think and talk about ideals

947
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:17,320
Speaker 16: of really sticking it to the rich. But the reality

948
00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:20,719
Speaker 16: is his budget proposal and what he's toying around with,

949
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:24,080
Speaker 16: which is a ten percent property tax hike, are going

950
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:27,080
Speaker 16: to affect everyday New Yorkers, as well as Americans across

951
00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:29,759
Speaker 16: the country who subsidize fifty five percent of New York

952
00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:30,560
Speaker 16: City's revenue.

953
00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:31,680
Speaker 4: Brook.

954
00:53:31,719 --> 00:53:34,440
Speaker 1: It seems to me that Mom Donnie ran on bringing

955
00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:38,399
Speaker 1: rents down. But if you have a ten percent property hike,

956
00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:42,040
Speaker 1: a tax hike what he's talking about in his budget,

957
00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:43,520
Speaker 1: the opposite will happen.

958
00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:44,840
Speaker 2: Rents will go higher, will they not.

959
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:49,840
Speaker 16: That's correct because that's how economics works. So despite the

960
00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:53,440
Speaker 16: fact that he would like to tout out these talking

961
00:53:53,480 --> 00:53:57,480
Speaker 16: points about making sure that it's only the wealthy that pay,

962
00:53:57,800 --> 00:54:01,440
Speaker 16: the reality is that those costs lead get passed on

963
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:04,879
Speaker 16: to renters and so those that are most affected are

964
00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:07,960
Speaker 16: going to be lower to middle income New Yorkers. Because

965
00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:11,719
Speaker 16: property taxes are a regressive tax, it's going to fall

966
00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:14,359
Speaker 16: heaviest on those who are least likely to be able

967
00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:18,200
Speaker 16: to afford it, and that does include renters, which inevitably

968
00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:21,799
Speaker 16: the landlords because there are rent freezes, have to be

969
00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:25,680
Speaker 16: able to pass they have to pass on the costs

970
00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:29,000
Speaker 16: in other ways. And those that are not beholden to

971
00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:31,480
Speaker 16: the rent freezes, of course, will also be subjected to

972
00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:35,160
Speaker 16: raising their rent prices in actual dollars.

973
00:54:36,120 --> 00:54:40,080
Speaker 1: Brook, is it your opinion that everyday Americans outside of

974
00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:43,040
Speaker 1: New York City would feel some of the fallout if

975
00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:45,040
Speaker 1: Mom Donnie goes through with some of this and the

976
00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:46,439
Speaker 1: city tells how that might work.

977
00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:48,680
Speaker 5: Yeah.

978
00:54:48,719 --> 00:54:53,040
Speaker 16: So what we found is that up to fifty five

979
00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:57,000
Speaker 16: percent of New York City's revenue is really subsidized by

980
00:54:57,080 --> 00:55:01,319
Speaker 16: American taxpayers across the country through the various forms of

981
00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:04,640
Speaker 16: welfare that goes straight directly to New York City to

982
00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:09,880
Speaker 16: subsidize their transportation, infrastructure welfare services, or through the State

983
00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:14,400
Speaker 16: of New York and then flowing through federal grant dollars. So, again,

984
00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:17,560
Speaker 16: what happens in New York actually has a ripple effect

985
00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:20,240
Speaker 16: outside of the city, and it has a ripple effect

986
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:23,080
Speaker 16: through Middle America. Rural Americans are footing the spill.

987
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:27,279
Speaker 1: That's Brooke Madina with the State Policy Network. She has

988
00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:31,760
Speaker 1: got an article in the Washington Examiner about what's happening

989
00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:34,400
Speaker 1: with Mom Dannie and these crazy tax increases in New

990
00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:38,120
Speaker 1: York City. The article is called Champagne Socialism is forced

991
00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:41,560
Speaker 1: to raise its glass to economic reality. Brook, I hope

992
00:55:41,560 --> 00:55:44,000
Speaker 1: folks will look you up on that. Thanks for coming on,

993
00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:46,319
Speaker 1: and we'll have you back on the show in the

994
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:49,080
Speaker 1: near future. We're tracking breaking news here on the Scott

995
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:51,120
Speaker 1: Jennings Show. We're going to take a break, but these

996
00:55:51,160 --> 00:55:54,480
Speaker 1: situations are two fold. One in Michigan, where a suspect

997
00:55:54,600 --> 00:55:59,000
Speaker 1: rand a car into a synagogue in West Bloomfield Township.

998
00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:03,200
Speaker 1: The suspect there is dead. No other injuries are reported.

999
00:56:03,239 --> 00:56:06,800
Speaker 1: There is a massive police presence at the synagogue there at.

1000
00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:09,799
Speaker 2: Old Dominion University. This is a situation number two.

1001
00:56:10,280 --> 00:56:14,680
Speaker 1: In Norfolk, Virginia, a gunman opened fire this morning, a

1002
00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:19,400
Speaker 1: killing one person on campus and then that person was

1003
00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:23,120
Speaker 1: neutralized by police. So a total of two people dead,

1004
00:56:23,160 --> 00:56:26,359
Speaker 1: the suspect and a victim at Old Dominion University. We're

1005
00:56:26,360 --> 00:56:29,640
Speaker 1: tracking all of this for you here on Salem. More

1006
00:56:29,719 --> 00:56:31,640
Speaker 1: on all this when we come back. Don't miss any

1007
00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:34,000
Speaker 1: of it here on the Scott Jennings Show. Stay with us.

1008
00:56:34,120 --> 00:56:37,279
Speaker 12: If the leftists haven't had enough yet, there's more. This

1009
00:56:37,320 --> 00:56:40,000
Speaker 12: is the Scott Jennings Show. He's the author of the

1010
00:56:40,040 --> 00:56:43,040
Speaker 12: best selling book A Revolution of Common Sense.

1011
00:56:43,680 --> 00:56:45,840
Speaker 4: Here's Scott Jennings.

1012
00:56:46,360 --> 00:56:48,680
Speaker 1: And here on Thursday, March the twelfth. It is a

1013
00:56:48,719 --> 00:56:51,600
Speaker 1: breaking news edition of the Scott Jennings Show. We're breaking

1014
00:56:52,080 --> 00:56:55,360
Speaker 1: news in a couple of situations. I'll start with Michigan.

1015
00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:57,560
Speaker 1: You've been hearing us report on this throughout the day.

1016
00:56:58,280 --> 00:57:03,280
Speaker 1: A suspect in West Blue Roomfield Township rammed his vehicle

1017
00:57:03,520 --> 00:57:06,680
Speaker 1: into the Temple Israel Synagogue there, one of the largest

1018
00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:11,200
Speaker 1: Reformed synagogues in the United States, and our friend at

1019
00:57:11,239 --> 00:57:16,440
Speaker 1: Fox News, Bill Malusion is now reporting the following that

1020
00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:20,040
Speaker 1: he has been told by law enforcement sources that the

1021
00:57:20,080 --> 00:57:23,920
Speaker 1: suspected shooter here who did the ramming with the vehicle,

1022
00:57:24,760 --> 00:57:28,520
Speaker 1: was armed with a rifle and he rammed his vehicle

1023
00:57:28,600 --> 00:57:31,840
Speaker 1: into the building and he was then killed in a

1024
00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:37,840
Speaker 1: shootout with armed security at the synagogue. So The suspect

1025
00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:42,600
Speaker 1: is dead, killed in a shootout with armed security, we

1026
00:57:42,640 --> 00:57:44,960
Speaker 1: are told. And if you've seen any video so far

1027
00:57:45,160 --> 00:57:49,680
Speaker 1: that the vehicle caught fire, you've seen some smoke coming out.

1028
00:57:49,760 --> 00:57:53,240
Speaker 1: That's from the vehicle fire. The suspect's body here is burned.

1029
00:57:53,240 --> 00:57:57,720
Speaker 1: And there is no ide yet on the suspect in Michigan.

1030
00:57:58,120 --> 00:58:01,240
Speaker 1: But the news is the suspect is he was armed

1031
00:58:01,240 --> 00:58:04,080
Speaker 1: with a rifle. He was killed in a shootout with

1032
00:58:04,320 --> 00:58:08,000
Speaker 1: armed security. He rammed his car into the synagogue and

1033
00:58:08,040 --> 00:58:10,920
Speaker 1: now his body is badly burned. We do not have

1034
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:14,520
Speaker 1: an ID. We also don't have any reports of any

1035
00:58:14,520 --> 00:58:18,120
Speaker 1: other injuries at the synagogue. Let's hope that remains the

1036
00:58:18,160 --> 00:58:21,360
Speaker 1: case now. Down in Norfolk, Virginia, here's the other situation.

1037
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:22,520
Speaker 4: There was a.

1038
00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:27,080
Speaker 1: Shooting at Old Dominion University this morning around ten forty

1039
00:58:27,160 --> 00:58:31,360
Speaker 1: nine am. A shooter went into a building Constant Hall,

1040
00:58:31,400 --> 00:58:34,959
Speaker 1: where are lecture halls and classrooms, and open fire. Two

1041
00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:38,720
Speaker 1: people were shot. One of those victims has died, so

1042
00:58:38,880 --> 00:58:44,200
Speaker 1: there is a deceased victim also deceased. Here is the shooter.

1043
00:58:44,360 --> 00:58:47,400
Speaker 1: I don't know how the shooter was killed, but the

1044
00:58:47,400 --> 00:58:51,960
Speaker 1: shooter is deceased. And our friend Carol Markowitz, who writes

1045
00:58:51,960 --> 00:58:56,240
Speaker 1: for The New York Post, has this report. She is

1046
00:58:57,040 --> 00:59:01,200
Speaker 1: this is Carol Markowitz's reporting, said as she is reliably

1047
00:59:01,280 --> 00:59:08,479
Speaker 1: informed that the alleged attacker at Old Dominion is Mohammed Jallo,

1048
00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:12,280
Speaker 1: and this is the same person who was previously convicted

1049
00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:18,000
Speaker 1: of supporting or providing support to ISIL or ISIS. That's

1050
00:59:18,040 --> 00:59:20,840
Speaker 1: Carol Markowitz reporting. So we have a little bit more

1051
00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:24,360
Speaker 1: knowledge of the suspect in Old Dominion. We have nothing

1052
00:59:24,400 --> 00:59:27,160
Speaker 1: on the suspect yet in Michigan other than that he

1053
00:59:27,240 --> 00:59:30,600
Speaker 1: is dead after a shootout with armed security. You're listening

1054
00:59:30,640 --> 00:59:34,560
Speaker 1: to the Scott Jennings Show Common Sense with breaking news

1055
00:59:34,720 --> 00:59:40,240
Speaker 1: here on Salem joining us now. An incredible guest, absolutely

1056
00:59:40,680 --> 00:59:45,680
Speaker 1: incredible conversation, someone who can speak to the heart of

1057
00:59:45,720 --> 00:59:49,120
Speaker 1: what is happening in Iran. Our next guest was a

1058
00:59:49,200 --> 00:59:53,520
Speaker 1: refugee to the United States amidst the nineteen seventy nine

1059
00:59:53,560 --> 00:59:58,280
Speaker 1: Islamic Revolution and Iran. She was the US State Department's

1060
00:59:58,440 --> 01:00:02,520
Speaker 1: first Iranian born on. She is a senior Fellow at

1061
01:00:02,560 --> 01:00:06,480
Speaker 1: the International Women's Forum. She's a former State Department Special

1062
01:00:06,640 --> 01:00:10,680
Speaker 1: Envoy under President Donald Trump. We welcome into the Scott

1063
01:00:10,720 --> 01:00:15,000
Speaker 1: Jennings show. Ellie Cohanum, Ellie, thank you for being here.

1064
01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:18,840
Speaker 1: You were born in Iran and you fled with your

1065
01:00:18,880 --> 01:00:23,120
Speaker 1: family during the Iranian Revolution. You were six years old

1066
01:00:23,440 --> 01:00:27,680
Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy nine when this happened, when your family

1067
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:31,920
Speaker 1: fled after the current regime took power. Tell us what

1068
01:00:31,960 --> 01:00:34,280
Speaker 1: are your recollections as a little girl. What was it

1069
01:00:34,400 --> 01:00:38,200
Speaker 1: like fleeing your home country and arriving in the United States.

1070
01:00:39,680 --> 01:00:42,960
Speaker 17: Scott, thank you so much for your warm and kind introduction.

1071
01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:46,800
Speaker 17: What I can tell you is that it was certainly scary.

1072
01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:53,440
Speaker 17: I have memories of the revolution unfolding into Tehran, specifically

1073
01:00:53,600 --> 01:00:58,200
Speaker 17: the rioting in the streets and bullets piercing through my

1074
01:00:58,320 --> 01:01:02,720
Speaker 17: cousin's bedroom window, and all of this happened very quickly.

1075
01:01:03,040 --> 01:01:06,000
Speaker 17: And Scott, I think what's most interesting for the audience

1076
01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:09,320
Speaker 17: is to understand that before the revolution, under the Shah,

1077
01:01:09,320 --> 01:01:12,880
Speaker 17: when I was born in Iran, Iran was a pro

1078
01:01:13,040 --> 01:01:17,600
Speaker 17: western country, had full diplomatic relations with the United States

1079
01:01:17,640 --> 01:01:22,320
Speaker 17: and Israel, and women had rights. My family, which is Jewish,

1080
01:01:22,400 --> 01:01:26,000
Speaker 17: we had rights as a religious minority. And that's the

1081
01:01:26,040 --> 01:01:29,000
Speaker 17: reason why Scott, right now, when you talk to Iranians

1082
01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:33,080
Speaker 17: and there is so much hopefulness for what could come next.

1083
01:01:33,520 --> 01:01:38,120
Speaker 17: Is because Iranians perceived this Islamic Republic regime as a

1084
01:01:38,240 --> 01:01:43,040
Speaker 17: forty seven year anomaly in an ancient and proud history.

1085
01:01:43,400 --> 01:01:46,520
Speaker 17: And we believe that President Trump has now put this

1086
01:01:46,920 --> 01:01:49,240
Speaker 17: regime into the dustbin of history.

1087
01:01:50,440 --> 01:01:53,160
Speaker 1: Let's hear from President Trump. He said this last night.

1088
01:01:53,240 --> 01:01:54,720
Speaker 1: Here's our president cut number two.

1089
01:01:55,680 --> 01:01:58,360
Speaker 7: They are pretty much at the end of the line.

1090
01:01:58,400 --> 01:02:01,480
Speaker 7: Doesn't mean we're going to end it immediately, but they've

1091
01:02:01,520 --> 01:02:03,959
Speaker 7: got no navy, they've got no air force, they've got

1092
01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:09,200
Speaker 7: no anti air traffic anything, they have no systems of control.

1093
01:02:10,120 --> 01:02:12,560
Speaker 7: We're just riding free range.

1094
01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:13,440
Speaker 16: Over that country.

1095
01:02:13,920 --> 01:02:16,520
Speaker 7: And now we're going to look very strongly at the straits.

1096
01:02:16,560 --> 01:02:19,920
Speaker 7: The straits are in great shape. We've knocked out.

1097
01:02:19,840 --> 01:02:22,840
Speaker 4: All of that boats. They have some missiles, but not

1098
01:02:23,080 --> 01:02:23,520
Speaker 4: very many.

1099
01:02:24,040 --> 01:02:26,520
Speaker 7: I think we're in very good We're in very good shape.

1100
01:02:27,520 --> 01:02:30,400
Speaker 1: Ella, you're a diplomat by trade. Obviously we're all watching

1101
01:02:30,480 --> 01:02:34,560
Speaker 1: the military operation unfold here. Tell us about your feelings

1102
01:02:34,560 --> 01:02:37,800
Speaker 1: about what the United States and Israel are doing militarily.

1103
01:02:37,920 --> 01:02:41,680
Speaker 1: And also I'm interested in your views about what the

1104
01:02:41,720 --> 01:02:44,560
Speaker 1: people of Iran are going to do because at the

1105
01:02:44,640 --> 01:02:47,000
Speaker 1: outset of this, the President said very clearly, I hope

1106
01:02:47,040 --> 01:02:49,720
Speaker 1: you rise up and take back your country, as you

1107
01:02:49,840 --> 01:02:50,640
Speaker 1: just suggested.

1108
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:51,880
Speaker 2: Give us your thoughts on.

1109
01:02:51,840 --> 01:02:52,160
Speaker 4: All of that.

1110
01:02:54,120 --> 01:02:57,120
Speaker 17: Well, first of all, on the military angle, I think

1111
01:02:57,200 --> 01:03:01,240
Speaker 17: that Operation Epic Fury has exceeded all expectations in terms

1112
01:03:01,280 --> 01:03:04,600
Speaker 17: of how our great military, the United States, the greatest

1113
01:03:04,640 --> 01:03:08,320
Speaker 17: in the world, has has carried out this operation and

1114
01:03:08,400 --> 01:03:12,040
Speaker 17: also in partnership with Israel. It's incredible to see the

1115
01:03:12,080 --> 01:03:15,560
Speaker 17: strength of that bilateral relationship as they're too great.

1116
01:03:15,600 --> 01:03:17,960
Speaker 5: As these two great militaries together.

1117
01:03:18,800 --> 01:03:22,680
Speaker 17: Have you know, accomplished so much of what the objectives

1118
01:03:22,720 --> 01:03:24,720
Speaker 17: were that we were told at the outset, which was

1119
01:03:25,600 --> 01:03:29,640
Speaker 17: you know, taking getting rid of the remnants of the

1120
01:03:29,720 --> 01:03:35,840
Speaker 17: nuclear program, the ballistic missile program, and their naval capacity,

1121
01:03:35,880 --> 01:03:38,600
Speaker 17: which at this point I think has been almost completely destroyed.

1122
01:03:38,880 --> 01:03:40,760
Speaker 5: So, you know, the the United States is.

1123
01:03:40,680 --> 01:03:43,160
Speaker 17: Ahead of where I think we forecast we would be

1124
01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:43,920
Speaker 17: at this point.

1125
01:03:44,320 --> 01:03:45,320
Speaker 5: And in terms of.

1126
01:03:45,240 --> 01:03:48,440
Speaker 17: The Iranian people, Scott, you know, what I'm tracking carefully

1127
01:03:48,640 --> 01:03:52,600
Speaker 17: is that what's getting less coverage is that amidst this

1128
01:03:52,680 --> 01:03:57,360
Speaker 17: incredible military campaign, the US and Israel are also striking

1129
01:03:57,440 --> 01:04:02,240
Speaker 17: Iran's repression appters and so that is the part that

1130
01:04:02,280 --> 01:04:04,800
Speaker 17: I'm tracking very carefully, and what we're seeing is that

1131
01:04:05,160 --> 01:04:09,440
Speaker 17: we have struck their bestige militia bases, We've struck police stations,

1132
01:04:09,760 --> 01:04:13,600
Speaker 17: we have taken out some of their cyber capabilities. Yesterday

1133
01:04:13,800 --> 01:04:16,520
Speaker 17: we took out the bank that pays the IRGC and

1134
01:04:16,960 --> 01:04:18,080
Speaker 17: the various militia.

1135
01:04:18,600 --> 01:04:22,560
Speaker 5: So that is all very important and interesting development.

1136
01:04:22,640 --> 01:04:25,040
Speaker 17: And I would say yesterday I also saw footage out

1137
01:04:25,040 --> 01:04:29,200
Speaker 17: of Iran that there were Israeli drones apparently that we're

1138
01:04:29,240 --> 01:04:34,000
Speaker 17: actually attacking these again, these bessige militia and the police

1139
01:04:34,400 --> 01:04:38,360
Speaker 17: on the streets as they were creating choke points and

1140
01:04:38,480 --> 01:04:42,240
Speaker 17: checkpoints to try to get in front of any protesters

1141
01:04:42,240 --> 01:04:44,640
Speaker 17: who might come out. So in terms of what the

1142
01:04:44,640 --> 01:04:48,440
Speaker 17: Iranian people might do next, we've seen the Iranian people

1143
01:04:48,480 --> 01:04:51,160
Speaker 17: by the millions come out into the streets to protest

1144
01:04:51,200 --> 01:04:54,600
Speaker 17: against this regime over and over again. I think that

1145
01:04:54,720 --> 01:04:59,360
Speaker 17: if we continue striking at the apparatus and making it

1146
01:04:59,440 --> 01:05:04,920
Speaker 17: impossib for this regime to murder Iranian's wholesale using military

1147
01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:07,680
Speaker 17: forces they did in this last round of protests, killing

1148
01:05:07,720 --> 01:05:11,000
Speaker 17: over forty thousand innocent demonstrators, I think we will see

1149
01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:13,720
Speaker 17: the Iranian people back on the street. But again, I

1150
01:05:13,760 --> 01:05:17,280
Speaker 17: think the more coverage that we can do to help them,

1151
01:05:17,320 --> 01:05:19,520
Speaker 17: then obviously the more chances of their success.

1152
01:05:20,840 --> 01:05:25,520
Speaker 1: Ellie, I know you're also working on anti semitism efforts

1153
01:05:25,560 --> 01:05:27,240
Speaker 1: in the United States. I wanted to talk to you

1154
01:05:27,280 --> 01:05:31,640
Speaker 1: a little bit about that Deputy Special Envoy to monitor

1155
01:05:31,720 --> 01:05:37,440
Speaker 1: and combat anti Semitism. It's obviously seeing a resurgence in

1156
01:05:37,480 --> 01:05:40,760
Speaker 1: the United States. You're working on this task force. What

1157
01:05:40,840 --> 01:05:45,000
Speaker 1: are your recommendations to our policy makers right now, and

1158
01:05:45,040 --> 01:05:48,800
Speaker 1: what are your recommendations to people who have a public voice.

1159
01:05:49,120 --> 01:05:52,120
Speaker 1: It seems to me that we all have a responsibility

1160
01:05:52,160 --> 01:05:54,360
Speaker 1: to call this out, to speak out against it, and

1161
01:05:54,360 --> 01:05:57,280
Speaker 1: to not look the other way. What are you seeing,

1162
01:05:57,360 --> 01:06:00,560
Speaker 1: what are you feeling, and give a sure know from

1163
01:06:00,600 --> 01:06:03,800
Speaker 1: your perch on this task force your recommendations on what

1164
01:06:03,840 --> 01:06:05,040
Speaker 1: we need to do as a nation here.

1165
01:06:06,800 --> 01:06:10,320
Speaker 17: Well, Scott, when you and I were chatting offline before

1166
01:06:10,360 --> 01:06:13,680
Speaker 17: you brought me on air, I thanked you for your voice, and.

1167
01:06:13,600 --> 01:06:16,920
Speaker 5: I really am so grateful to you because.

1168
01:06:16,520 --> 01:06:20,000
Speaker 17: On CNN, which is not a network that is often

1169
01:06:20,720 --> 01:06:24,200
Speaker 17: or all the time, I should say, friendly to the

1170
01:06:24,240 --> 01:06:27,680
Speaker 17: concerns of anti Semitism in the country. You have been

1171
01:06:27,720 --> 01:06:30,280
Speaker 17: a steadfast voice, and so I want to share my

1172
01:06:30,320 --> 01:06:32,880
Speaker 17: personal gratefulness to you, and I hope that everybody would

1173
01:06:32,880 --> 01:06:35,480
Speaker 17: follow your lead to always speak out when you feel

1174
01:06:35,560 --> 01:06:38,640
Speaker 17: compelled that you think that something might be morally wrong.

1175
01:06:39,160 --> 01:06:43,000
Speaker 5: In terms of my recommendations, I want.

1176
01:06:42,840 --> 01:06:45,080
Speaker 17: To give a lot of credit to the Trump administration

1177
01:06:45,240 --> 01:06:48,600
Speaker 17: because they've instituted a lot of recommendations that I've previously

1178
01:06:48,960 --> 01:06:52,080
Speaker 17: written about and published and spoke about. Which is I

1179
01:06:52,120 --> 01:06:54,320
Speaker 17: would say, Number one, you want to have a zero

1180
01:06:54,560 --> 01:06:58,360
Speaker 17: tolerance approach to anti Semitism, and that is something that

1181
01:06:58,440 --> 01:07:00,560
Speaker 17: is set. The tone is set from the very top

1182
01:07:00,600 --> 01:07:03,280
Speaker 17: and goes all the way through government. You also want

1183
01:07:03,360 --> 01:07:07,000
Speaker 17: to see from our federal government a whole of a

1184
01:07:07,040 --> 01:07:10,080
Speaker 17: whole of agency, a whole of government approach to.

1185
01:07:10,280 --> 01:07:11,640
Speaker 5: Combating anti Semitism.

1186
01:07:11,680 --> 01:07:14,160
Speaker 17: And that's what we're seeing right now between the Department

1187
01:07:14,200 --> 01:07:16,840
Speaker 17: of Justice that took on the universities in the wake

1188
01:07:16,920 --> 01:07:19,800
Speaker 17: of October seventh and that heinous Prohamas movement that took

1189
01:07:19,880 --> 01:07:22,880
Speaker 17: over our campuses. You're also seeing it in the Department

1190
01:07:22,920 --> 01:07:25,440
Speaker 17: of Justice in terms of their prosecution of hate crimes.

1191
01:07:25,480 --> 01:07:27,560
Speaker 5: You're seeing it with the FBI right now.

1192
01:07:27,720 --> 01:07:30,240
Speaker 17: And that's you know in the Department of Education that

1193
01:07:30,280 --> 01:07:33,840
Speaker 17: has also taken on the universities in a different way.

1194
01:07:34,160 --> 01:07:37,280
Speaker 17: So that is exactly what we want to see more

1195
01:07:37,320 --> 01:07:40,800
Speaker 17: of again, using every government power.

1196
01:07:40,800 --> 01:07:45,040
Speaker 5: To attack this hatred in every way possible.

1197
01:07:45,440 --> 01:07:48,000
Speaker 17: Scott, I think the challenge that we're facing, and just

1198
01:07:48,040 --> 01:07:52,320
Speaker 17: to share our statistic after October seventh, Jews faced a

1199
01:07:52,440 --> 01:07:56,280
Speaker 17: four hundred percent increase in anti Semitic incidents and attacks

1200
01:07:56,320 --> 01:08:00,480
Speaker 17: in the United States. It was unprecedented, and we need

1201
01:08:00,520 --> 01:08:03,840
Speaker 17: to see more of is enforcement on the local level.

1202
01:08:04,680 --> 01:08:08,720
Speaker 17: Jews happen to live in Democrat run cities and Democrat

1203
01:08:08,800 --> 01:08:12,240
Speaker 17: run states where we see in general a lack of

1204
01:08:12,320 --> 01:08:16,080
Speaker 17: law enforcement, and so that puts the Jewish community at

1205
01:08:16,120 --> 01:08:16,880
Speaker 17: greater risk.

1206
01:08:17,320 --> 01:08:19,000
Speaker 5: So what we need to see.

1207
01:08:18,880 --> 01:08:23,160
Speaker 17: Is police empowered to use their capabilities to arrest when

1208
01:08:23,200 --> 01:08:24,200
Speaker 17: they deem fit.

1209
01:08:24,640 --> 01:08:25,519
Speaker 5: We need to see.

1210
01:08:25,280 --> 01:08:28,240
Speaker 17: Attorneys general who are willing to prosecute and not let

1211
01:08:28,240 --> 01:08:31,040
Speaker 17: people right back on the streets immediately after they've committed

1212
01:08:31,040 --> 01:08:33,599
Speaker 17: hate crimes, which we've seen in places like New York

1213
01:08:33,640 --> 01:08:36,519
Speaker 17: and Los Angeles over and over again. We need to

1214
01:08:36,520 --> 01:08:40,360
Speaker 17: see hate crimes prosecuted as hate crimes that identify as

1215
01:08:40,360 --> 01:08:43,320
Speaker 17: hate crimes, and we need to again from leadership. So

1216
01:08:43,400 --> 01:08:45,519
Speaker 17: now on the local level, you want your mayors, your

1217
01:08:45,560 --> 01:08:49,679
Speaker 17: governors to say that they will not tolerate anti semitism.

1218
01:08:49,760 --> 01:08:53,120
Speaker 5: There's no room for antisemitism. And I will tell you

1219
01:08:53,160 --> 01:08:53,800
Speaker 5: that in.

1220
01:08:54,280 --> 01:08:56,599
Speaker 17: A place like New York City that has just elected

1221
01:08:56,600 --> 01:08:59,200
Speaker 17: mayor Mom Donnie, we have not heard.

1222
01:08:58,960 --> 01:09:00,840
Speaker 5: That clear moral.

1223
01:09:00,920 --> 01:09:04,240
Speaker 17: Voice in the fact that you won't condemn Iran. You

1224
01:09:04,280 --> 01:09:07,280
Speaker 17: win and condemn hamas he's a real problem.

1225
01:09:07,320 --> 01:09:08,160
Speaker 5: On the local level.

1226
01:09:09,120 --> 01:09:11,800
Speaker 1: Oh, in New York City, the mayor is appointed every

1227
01:09:11,840 --> 01:09:14,559
Speaker 1: anti Semite they can find to these offices in New

1228
01:09:14,640 --> 01:09:16,720
Speaker 1: York City. There's a tolerance for it. People who have

1229
01:09:16,720 --> 01:09:20,080
Speaker 1: said terrible things, and you're getting no real leadership out

1230
01:09:20,120 --> 01:09:24,560
Speaker 1: of him. Eli kohanam a diplomat, someone with real experience

1231
01:09:24,600 --> 01:09:27,040
Speaker 1: as we talk about Iran and talk about anti Semitism.

1232
01:09:27,040 --> 01:09:28,760
Speaker 1: I'm so grateful for your time today. I'd love to

1233
01:09:28,760 --> 01:09:31,960
Speaker 1: have you back very soon to continue to comment on

1234
01:09:32,040 --> 01:09:35,200
Speaker 1: these important stories. Appreciate your time today. A quick word

1235
01:09:35,200 --> 01:09:38,320
Speaker 1: from our friends at Patriot Mobile. Patriot Mobile, these are

1236
01:09:38,320 --> 01:09:41,519
Speaker 1: our buddies. I know these guys. I trust these guys.

1237
01:09:41,520 --> 01:09:44,640

1238
01:09:44,680 --> 01:09:47,559
Speaker 1: they believe in what we believe in. They believe in

1253
01:10:31,640 --> 01:10:35,760
Speaker 1: find the campus of Old Dominion University. I'm bringing into

1254
01:10:35,760 --> 01:10:39,280
Speaker 1: the Scott Jennings Show Carol Markowitz. She's with the New

1255
01:10:39,360 --> 01:10:43,639
Speaker 1: York Post. Carol. This morning we had around ten forty

1256
01:10:43,720 --> 01:10:47,040
Speaker 1: nine am, someone went on to campus, went into a

1257
01:10:47,080 --> 01:10:51,000
Speaker 1: building and open fire. We have one victim who is dead.

1258
01:10:51,600 --> 01:10:53,679
Speaker 1: I think we have one other victim who is injured,

1259
01:10:53,720 --> 01:10:55,080
Speaker 1: and the shooter is dead.

1260
01:10:55,160 --> 01:10:57,439
Speaker 2: And you are breaking news right now. With us.

1261
01:10:57,880 --> 01:11:00,879
Speaker 1: You have the identity of the shooter at Old Dominion,

1262
01:11:00,960 --> 01:11:03,160
Speaker 1: Carol Markowitz, what can you tell us?

1263
01:11:03,960 --> 01:11:05,880
Speaker 18: Hi, Scott, thank you so much for having me on.

1264
01:11:05,960 --> 01:11:08,200
Speaker 18: So this was a story that really wasn't getting that

1265
01:11:08,280 --> 01:11:10,679
Speaker 18: much play. I actually have a friend who has two

1266
01:11:10,760 --> 01:11:13,240
Speaker 18: kids at Old Dominions, So when she posted about it

1267
01:11:13,520 --> 01:11:16,600
Speaker 18: this morning on Facebook, I started looking into it. The

1268
01:11:16,720 --> 01:11:19,840
Speaker 18: shooter's name, as I have it is Mohammed Jallo. And

1269
01:11:19,880 --> 01:11:23,640
Speaker 18: what's interesting about him is he has previously been convicted

1270
01:11:23,840 --> 01:11:30,200
Speaker 18: for giving information to isle At the name for Isis,

1271
01:11:30,320 --> 01:11:33,400
Speaker 18: and he had been convicted of this and he was

1272
01:11:33,439 --> 01:11:36,600
Speaker 18: in the Board of Prisons until twenty twenty four. He

1273
01:11:36,680 --> 01:11:39,920
Speaker 18: was released December twenty twenty four. He was arrested in

1274
01:11:39,920 --> 01:11:43,679
Speaker 18: twenty sixteen. She had served some time for providing material

1275
01:11:43,760 --> 01:11:47,640
Speaker 18: support to a terrorist group. And now he allegedly is

1276
01:11:48,240 --> 01:11:50,120
Speaker 18: was back on the streets and was able to carry

1277
01:11:50,120 --> 01:11:51,799
Speaker 18: out the Old Dominion shooting this morning.

1278
01:11:53,200 --> 01:11:55,280
Speaker 2: This is a shocking information.

1279
01:11:55,760 --> 01:12:00,200
Speaker 1: The suspect here, as you're reporting, Mohammed Baylor Jalo. I'm

1280
01:12:00,240 --> 01:12:03,400
Speaker 1: looking at the press release from the Department of Justice

1281
01:12:03,439 --> 01:12:07,960
Speaker 1: from Tuesday, July fifth, twenty sixteen. Former Army National Guard

1282
01:12:08,000 --> 01:12:12,599
Speaker 1: member arrested for attempting to provide material support to isole

1283
01:12:12,760 --> 01:12:15,160
Speaker 1: or as you point out, that's what is called isis

1284
01:12:15,920 --> 01:12:19,000
Speaker 1: More commonly, he was convicted and somehow he's out of

1285
01:12:19,080 --> 01:12:22,599
Speaker 1: jail and now apparently at a campus, and he went

1286
01:12:22,640 --> 01:12:25,920
Speaker 1: into a place called Constant Hall. Do you know anything

1287
01:12:25,920 --> 01:12:28,160
Speaker 1: about that building? We had heard earlier that that's where

1288
01:12:28,200 --> 01:12:30,520
Speaker 1: classrooms and lecture halls are located.

1289
01:12:31,560 --> 01:12:34,160
Speaker 18: Yeah, it does not that much information about the Old

1290
01:12:34,160 --> 01:12:37,400
Speaker 18: Dominion shooting yet. I think they're just still on scene

1291
01:12:37,439 --> 01:12:40,400
Speaker 18: and figuring out what happened. But the fact that, I mean,

1292
01:12:40,439 --> 01:12:42,519
Speaker 18: I hate to say it this way, only three people

1293
01:12:42,520 --> 01:12:45,479
Speaker 18: were shot. It looks like it was one person is

1294
01:12:45,560 --> 01:12:49,640
Speaker 18: dead and two more were shot means that somehow the

1295
01:12:49,640 --> 01:12:54,599
Speaker 18: shooter was deactivated, so hopefully somebody was able to take

1296
01:12:54,680 --> 01:12:58,439
Speaker 18: him down. And I think that that's the story so far.

1297
01:12:58,560 --> 01:13:01,519
Speaker 18: I'll absolutely be up to dating as I hear anything else,

1298
01:13:01,560 --> 01:13:04,040
Speaker 18: but so far, that's all the information out of Old Dominion.

1299
01:13:05,120 --> 01:13:07,240
Speaker 1: Carol Markowitz is with the New York Post. You can

1300
01:13:07,280 --> 01:13:10,040
Speaker 1: find her on the X platform. She's updating this with

1301
01:13:10,160 --> 01:13:14,960
Speaker 1: breaking information here at Carol at ka RL. Carol, we've

1302
01:13:15,000 --> 01:13:19,559
Speaker 1: got about thirty seconds here. We're obviously tracking this story.

1303
01:13:19,600 --> 01:13:22,600
Speaker 1: There's obviously an extremist at play at Old Dominion. We

1304
01:13:22,600 --> 01:13:25,120
Speaker 1: don't know who the suspect is. In Michigan. We have

1305
01:13:25,280 --> 01:13:29,880
Speaker 1: seen a radical Islamic extremists throwing IEDs in New York City.

1306
01:13:29,960 --> 01:13:33,759
Speaker 1: We saw a radical Islamist in Austin, Texas. Are you worried?

1307
01:13:33,800 --> 01:13:37,519
Speaker 1: Are we undergoing the beginnings of an epidemic of radical

1308
01:13:37,680 --> 01:13:40,240
Speaker 1: Islamic violence in the United States?

1309
01:13:41,800 --> 01:13:42,120
Speaker 8: Well?

1310
01:13:42,160 --> 01:13:44,720
Speaker 18: Absolutely, except I wouldn't say it's the beginning. I think

1311
01:13:44,760 --> 01:13:47,880
Speaker 18: that we're somewhere in the middle, hopefully, if not, figuring

1312
01:13:47,880 --> 01:13:49,880
Speaker 18: out a way to get to the end. Because this

1313
01:13:49,960 --> 01:13:51,760
Speaker 18: has been going on for so long. I'm from New

1314
01:13:51,800 --> 01:13:54,519
Speaker 18: York and I remember nine to eleven very well. This

1315
01:13:54,560 --> 01:13:56,599
Speaker 18: has been happening for some time. I think what we're

1316
01:13:56,640 --> 01:13:58,960
Speaker 18: doing in Iran is actually a reaction to that and

1317
01:13:59,040 --> 01:14:03,840
Speaker 18: not a a new start to it. So yeah, stay

1318
01:14:03,920 --> 01:14:06,719
Speaker 18: stays out there, be very vigilant, and keep your eyes open.

1319
01:14:07,800 --> 01:14:10,679
Speaker 1: Absolutely. That's Carol Markowitz from the New York Post. Thanks
