1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:07,120
Speaker 1: The voice of free speech, the truth delivered common sense

2
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:12,239
Speaker 1: for the American people. Welcome to the scudgeon.

3
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 2: And shade gambling scandal in golfing the WNBA today. It's

4
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:20,079
Speaker 2: involving two of the bigger names in the league. We've

5
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 2: got the brazen details for you in just a few moments.

6
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 2: We have new polling out in key Senate races in

7
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:30,479
Speaker 2: South Carolina and in Michigan. Plus the Department of Energy

8
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 2: with a huge announcement in Kentucky major economic development News.

9
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 2: Will bring you the details a little later in the show.

10
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:42,879
Speaker 2: Today's Thursday, July the thirtieth. I'm Scott Jennings Broadcasting for

11
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 2: Sale and we come to you live today from Knoxville, Tennessee.

12
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 2: And on this day, in nineteen sixty five, President Lyndon

13
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 2: Johnson signed Medicare and Medicaid into law. It created the

14
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 2: largest expansion of federal health coverage in American history, and

15
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 2: the setting of that was deliberate. It was at the

16
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 2: Truman Library in Independence, Missouri. Now twenty years earlier, Harry

17
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 2: Truman had become the first president to propose national health insurance,

18
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 2: and there, with Truman watching, Johnson signed the bill and

19
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 2: presented the first Medicare cards to Harry and Bess Truman.

20
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 2: Over the years, though Medicare has become a complicated mess

21
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 2: for a lot of folks. That's why we here at

22
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 2: the Scott Jennings Show partner with our friends at Chapter Now.

23
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 2: My own mother signed up for a plan that looked

24
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 2: perfectly fine, good coverage, nothing obviously wrong with it. Then

25
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,199
Speaker 2: she talked the Chapter to see what they had to say,

26
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 2: and turns out there was room for improvement. Chapter found

27
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 2: her the exact same plan G coverage that she already had,

28
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 2: same benefits and same protections, but for over six hundred

29
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 2: dollars less per year. Most people assume if nothing seems

30
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 2: wrong that they might already or are probably already in

31
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 2: the right plan. But the system is so confusing that

32
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 2: people read really know what they're missing. That is why

33
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 2: we partner with Chapter. They compare every Medicare plan nationwide

34
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 2: and they tell you which one makes the most sense

35
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 2: for you.

36
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 3: If you're already on the.

37
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 2: Best plan, they'll tell you that too, Just honest advice

38
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 2: for every American. It's a free call. There's no pressure.

39
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 2: You talk to a real person who knows how the

40
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 2: system works. You dial Pound two five zero and save

41
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 2: Medicare plan or go to ask chapter dot org slash Jennings.

42
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 2: Other news today Capitol Hill, there's still no resolution in

43
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 2: the Senate Judiciary Committee for Todd Blanche. He is the

44
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 2: acting Attorney General. He's up for confirmation to have the

45
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 2: job permanently. But Senator John Cornyn of Texas is bulking.

46
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 2: He wants some information and some changes from Blanche on

47
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 2: the president's settlement with a federal government over his leaked

48
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 2: tax returns. This has to do with that weaponization fund

49
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 2: you heard about, and Cornn hasn't gotten the answers he

50
00:02:55,960 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 2: wants yet. So today's committee vote on Blanche has been postponed.

51
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 2: Complicating matters here is you guessed it politics. Trump endorsed

52
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 2: Krnan's opponent in the Texas primary, Ken Paxton. Ken Paxton

53
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 2: won that primary, and now Cornan is a free agent.

54
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 2: He's not subject to the political strings of the Trump

55
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 2: White House. Take a listen to Cornan's comments here and

56
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:18,119
Speaker 2: cut number four.

57
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 4: He was saying he thinks that this might be because

58
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 4: you don't like him.

59
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,959
Speaker 5: You know, I voted with him ninety nine point three

60
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 5: percent of the time. That has nothing to do with it.

61
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 5: This is about making sure that even if you're the

62
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 5: president of the United States, you don't get favorable terms

63
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 5: from the government and a settlement of a lawsuit that

64
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 5: ordinary citizens would not get, like protection from audits by

65
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 5: the IRS into the foreseeable future. So I think this

66
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 5: is about making sure that we maintain the integrity of

67
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 5: our justice system and fairness for everybody involved.

68
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 2: Now, the President himself seemed to acknowledge the riff with

69
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 2: Cornn maybe a problem on this nomination. He was asked

70
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 2: about it in the Oval Office yesterday. Here's the President

71
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 2: cut eight.

72
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 6: I can say as Todd Blanche is outstanding, and I

73
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 6: thought he's I thought it was pretty routine because he's

74
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 6: so good. He just wouldn't find a better person.

75
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 3: So I don't know.

76
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 6: Maybe John Cornan's upset with me because I didn't endorse him.

77
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 7: I don't know what it is.

78
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 2: Just a little while ago, the President weighed in on

79
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 2: social media. The President says, quote, I have no objection

80
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 2: to temporarily withdrawing Todd Blanche's name if they meaning Cornn

81
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 2: and North Carolina Senator Tom Tillis, do not do the

82
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 2: right thing, and then putting him back in. After corn

83
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 2: and Tillis are out of office. That's the end of

84
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 2: the president's statement. Seems the President may be signaling retreat here,

85
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 2: at least temporarily, rather than give in to the demands

86
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 2: of Corn and Tillis over his settlement with the irs.

87
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 2: Fluid situation, and we'll keep an eye on it for you.

88
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 2: There's an unfolding scandal and the w n b A

89
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 2: today has to do with gambling on games by two

90
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 2: of the better known players in the league. The league's

91
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 2: official social media account posted and then quickly deleted, a

92
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 2: video showing two stars, Paige Buckers and Angel Reese, apparently

93
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 2: making a four hundred dollars bet on the outcome of

94
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 2: their team's game. So these two players were betting on

95
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 2: the games in which they were playing. Here's the video,

96
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 2: since deleted. Cut one.

97
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 8: At All Star weekend, you and Angel made a bet

98
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 8: with each other on this game?

99
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 9: Is up, Benility.

100
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 7: This is how the rich state rich.

101
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 10: If you got rich, you gotta say, if you gotta

102
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 10: say this money, I'm gona see you next week on Winday.

103
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 11: Yeah.

104
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 7: Hi, no practice, Oh I practice.

105
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 11: I mean, I know you're lose, but if y'all lose,

106
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 11: if y y'all will you get how.

107
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 7: Any now?

108
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 3: All right? So what happened?

109
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 2: Well, Atlanta beat Dallas eighty two to eighty one, and

110
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 2: Angel Reese, who plays for Atlanta, afterward posted on her

111
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 2: social media the word dubs w for the word win,

112
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 2: and she had a hashtag quatro scientos, which is Spanish

113
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 2: for four hundred, referencing the four hundred dollars. And then

114
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 2: in her postgame press conference, Angel Reese said she expected

115
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 2: to get her money.

116
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 3: Here's Reese cut seven.

117
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'll be requesting my Apple Hay after this.

118
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 3: Now here's the problem.

119
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 2: The WNBA's collective Bargaining Agreement explicitly prohibits players from wagering

120
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 2: anything of value on a league game, with possible penalties

121
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 2: ranging from a fine to suspension or even dismissal from

122
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 2: the league. This episode leaves the league in embarrassing position.

123
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 2: Its own social media account published evidence of two prominent

124
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 2: stars violating the league's gambling rules, then attempted to make

125
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 2: it disappear, and one of the players involved has clearly

126
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 2: admitted to this in a league sanctioned press conference. This

127
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 2: episode is just the latest in a string of public

128
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 2: relations problems for the Women's Basketball League. Right now, Congress

129
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 2: is asking for information from the commissioner on whether the

130
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 2: league is violating Caitlin Clark's civil rights by allowing her

131
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 2: to be pummeled night after night. And then there's the

132
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 2: case of Sophie Cunningham, who expressed the opinion recently that

133
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 2: men should not be allowed to play in women's sports,

134
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 2: and for saying that decidedly non controversial opinion out loud,

135
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 2: she's now being berated and scolded by people in and

136
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 2: around the league, and so are her fans. Two sixteen

137
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 2: year old girls attended a Seattle Storm game wearing shirts

138
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 2: supporting women's sports and carrying a sign thanking Sophie Cunningham

139
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 2: for her stance. An owner of the Seattle franchise, then

140
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 2: named Celeste Keaton confronted the two girls, and she cursed

141
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 2: at them, and she called them insane, leaving one of

142
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 2: them in tears. Look at this interaction cut nine. This

143
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 2: is a grown adult owner of a professional sports team

144
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 2: bullying teenagers who want to protect women's sports from biological males.

145
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,319
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what. Let's do this.

146
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 2: Let's allow every w NBA team who plays against Seattle

147
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 2: to add males to its roster. And see how the

148
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 2: games turn out. Maybe that'll sober miss Keaton up as

149
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 2: it relates to the difference between men and women in sports.

150
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 2: At least the WNBA knows it has a problem here.

151
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 2: They've banned this team owner from attending the next five

152
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:07,079
Speaker 2: home games. The WNBA is clearly a deeply troubled organization,

153
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 2: never turns a profit. It has two stars, Clark and Cunningham,

154
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 2: who are physically and verbally assaulted for failing to conform

155
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,599
Speaker 2: to the league's woke agenda, and it is now embroiled

156
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:22,199
Speaker 2: in a gambling scandal involving Angel Reese, routinely touted as

157
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,959
Speaker 2: a star by the league, but who often can't make

158
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 2: a simple layup. We're going to talk more about this

159
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,719
Speaker 2: gambling situation with Jonathan Cohen, an expert on the explosion

160
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 2: of sports gambling in the United States. He's coming up

161
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 2: right after the commercial break. Now, let's talk about supplements.

162
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 2: When you think about supplements in your diet, two things

163
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 2: matter the most.

164
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 3: Does this thing work? Can I trust it?

165
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 2: We hear from people every single day whose lives have

166
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 2: been changed by one of these supplements. It's called relief factor.

167
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 2: I'm going to let their stories do the talking. Here's

168
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 2: the story from Jony. Now, before Relief Factor, Joni said

169
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 2: that her husband could not open his hands in the morning.

170
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 2: It was so pained that he had to give up

171
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 2: playing the guitar. Now, after Relief Factor, he wakes up

172
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 2: with flexibility and he is back to playing music. They

173
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 2: Jony and her husband are both recommending Relief Factor to

174
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 2: friends as a way to once again enjoy the things

175
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 2: that they love. Could you be the next person sending

176
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,959
Speaker 2: in your Relief Factor story to the Scott Jennings Show.

00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:23,800

Speaker 3: Thursday, July the thirtieth.

205
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:56,319
Speaker 2: Scott Jennings broadcasting live today from Knoxville, Tennessee, and we're

206
00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 2: continuing coverage of this story unfolding with the w NBA.

207
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:05,199
Speaker 2: The league posted a video and then deleted it showing

208
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 2: Angel Reefs and Page Buker's two players in the league

209
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 2: making a wager a wager, a bet on a game

210
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,959
Speaker 2: in which they were playing against each other. The video

211
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 2: was posted, it was deleted, and then Angel Reeves in

212
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 2: a press conference after the game said she's expecting to

213
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 2: get paid her team won the game. The problem is

214
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 2: this activity is clearly in violation of the w NBA

215
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 2: league bylaws that prohibit players from wagering anything of value

216
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 2: on a game. You could be fine, suspended, or even dismissed.

217
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:42,079
Speaker 2: What should the WNBA do about this? Joining us to

218
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 2: discuss Jonathan Cohen, who is author of the book Losing

219
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 2: Big America's Reckless bet on sports gambling. Jonathan, thanks for

220
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 2: coming back into the Scott Jtting Show. Give us your

221
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 2: reaction when you saw this story. Does the WNBA have

222
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 2: a huge problem on its hand here?

223
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 10: I mean, this is just somblematic of the way that

224
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 10: the leagues are trying to have it both ways when

225
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 10: it comes to gambling. That they're insisting, Oh, gambling can

226
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 10: be fun. You can have fun. You can gamble on

227
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 10: the outcome of our games that will increase our media

228
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 10: package deals, that will increase our team values, and so on,

229
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 10: and it will not have anything to do to threaten

230
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 10: the integrity of our product. Whoops, it had something to

231
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 10: do to threaten the integrity of our product. And people

232
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 10: are going to get really confused and really judgmental, and

233
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 10: really suspicious if gambling, if athletes, even in a joking manner,

234
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,199
Speaker 10: suggest that they're gambling on the outcome of even the

235
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 10: All Star Game.

236
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 2: So this gambling video was posted in the lead, and

237
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 2: clearly the WNBA knows it has a problem. A lot

238
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 2: of people out there immediately are going back to the

239
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 2: Pete Rose situation, who was banned from baseball, can't even

240
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,559
Speaker 2: get into the Hall of Fame because he bet on baseball.

241
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 3: Do you see these two situations as similar in a way?

242
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 10: I mean, the Pete Rose situation I think is of

243
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 10: course sort of more serious, as he was betting on

244
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 10: a game while he was a manager I believe, of

245
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,199
Speaker 10: the team, so the teams involved in some of those games.

246
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 10: I don't think he threw the game necessarily, as he

247
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,439
Speaker 10: did it sort of over a long standing period. But

248
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 10: in general, I mean, again taking into account of this

249
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 10: is the All Star Game. So I don't know if anyone

250
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 10: really cares about any All Star game, but we are

251
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 10: talking about athletes or managers gambling on a sport in

252
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 10: which they have some say over the direct outcome, and

253
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 10: even if you are gambling on yourself to win, it's

254
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 10: just suspicious. And the fear is that this is gonna

255
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 10: people are going to think that sports are professional wrestling,

256
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 10: where everything is rigged and everything is scripted because all

257
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 10: the athletes have money on the line. And it's of

258
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 10: course very different from Pete Rose. But I see, I

259
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 10: take your comparison. I think it's a fair one to

260
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 10: make in some respects.

261
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 2: Okay, So Jonathan Cohen, by the way, as our guest,

262
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 2: he's author of the book called Losing Big, America's Reckless

263
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 2: Bet on Sports Gambling. Jonathan, if you were the commissioner

264
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 2: of the w NBA, what would you do here?

265
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 3: Would you find them? Would you suspend them? Or is

266
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 3: it more serious than that?

267
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 10: Well, she's got all sorts of other problems. She didn't

268
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 10: need this one. I assure you that she's I think,

269
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 10: by all accounts, are of the least trusted of the

270
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 10: commissioners in modern professional sports. I think again, this video,

271
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 10: which was sort of clearly made in jest, but I

272
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 10: think gambling just cannot be treated as a joke when

273
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 10: it comes to when it comes to professional sports and

274
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 10: when it comes to professional athletes. So I'm not saying

275
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 10: that they need to be made an example of they

276
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 10: need to be suspended or you know, fined or anything

277
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 10: super serious, but clearly this is beyond the pale, and

278
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 10: clearly this has to be the It's almost lucky. I

279
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 10: think for the NWNBA to have a wake up call

280
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 10: like this, that's all in the grand scheme, pretty benign,

281
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 10: because it could have been a lot worse. It could

282
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 10: have been an athlete over the course of many months

283
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 10: gambling on gambling on their own rebounds or something, because

284
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 10: of course that's something you can bet on. It's an

285
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 10: individual WNBA players rebounds. So now I'll defer to you

286
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 10: on the on the what you think so the judgment

287
00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 10: should be. But I think they should be thinking they're

288
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 10: lucky that it was only four hundred bucks involved.

289
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, you raise an interesting question about how the leagues

290
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 2: are trying to integrate sports gambling into their arenas and

291
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 2: into their coverage, and at the same time they still

292
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 2: have bylaws that prohibit players from being involved with gambling

293
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 2: of any kind. We've seen this already in other leagues.

294
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 2: We've seen NBA, MLB dealing with this. Do you think

295
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 2: that the politicians need to get involved with encouraging the

296
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 2: sports leagues to clean this up? I think the average

297
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 2: fan out there, Jonathan now assumes, assumes that players are

298
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 2: involved with gambling of some kind.

299
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 10: I think you're right. I think, first of all, I

300
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 10: don't think it's true. You know, I think a very

301
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 10: very small percentage of professional athletes have ever gambled or

302
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 10: will ever gamble on themselves. But I think a very

303
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 10: large percentage of the public believes that it happens or

304
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 10: that it can happen. And that's the problem. The most

305
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 10: precious commodity that supports leagues have is not their product,

306
00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 10: it's the perception of the integrity of their product. We'll

307
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 10: start to think that these games are raped. People already

308
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 10: think that the NFL is rigged in favor of the

309
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 10: Kansas City Chiefs, and if people think that it's really rigged,

310
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 10: like actually rigged by gamblers, that's going to be a

311
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 10: huge problem. So you know, whether politicians need to get involved.

312
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,959
Speaker 10: You know, I'm always wary of data, as I suspect

313
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 10: you are as well. But clearly something has a change

314
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 10: and for the leagues, there's just too much money for

315
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 10: them to sort of really police it beyond sort of

316
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 10: the baseline requirement of maintaining their integrity.

317
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,400
Speaker 2: Jonathan Cohen is the author of the book Losing Big

318
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 2: America's Reckless bet on sports gambling. Jonathan, thanks for joining

319
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 2: us here on the Scott Shenning Show. Quick note from

320
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 2: our friends at the Market Institute. They're calling attention to

321
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 2: an issue the bureaucrats don't want to talk about, and

322
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 2: that is that Alzheimer's is becoming an economic time bomb.

323
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 2: Cases in the United States are going to double by

324
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 2: twenty sixty to fourteen million. This is going to be

325
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 2: a burden, a heavy burden on families, on Medicare, on Medicaid,

326
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 2: on our national healthcare system, on our workforce in the

327
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 2: United States. We are simply not dealing with this. We're

328
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,439
Speaker 2: waiting until it's too late. We do have tools like

329
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,919
Speaker 2: blood tests that can help with early detection, we're just

330
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,119
Speaker 2: not using them properly. Four and five voters say they'd

331
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 2: rather support candidates who want better access to Alzheimer's detection.

332
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 2: Join this conversation. Join this issue at Marketinstitute dot org.

333
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,120
Speaker 2: More after this on The Scott Jenny Show. You've heard

334
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:30,679
Speaker 2: the narratives, now get the truth. It's The Scott Jenny Show.

335
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 3: Thursday July the thirtieth. Coming up.

336
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,640
Speaker 2: In just a few seconds, we're going to talk about

337
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 2: the big Senate race going on in New Hampshire.

338
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 3: It's flying under the radar just a bit.

339
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:43,640
Speaker 2: But is this one of the Republican Party's best pickup

340
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 2: opportunities of the twenty twenty six midterm?

341
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 3: I think maybe yes. John E.

342
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 2: Sununu joins us in just a few seconds. First, a

343
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:55,640
Speaker 2: word from our friends at the AAARP. If you are

344
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 2: like me, you've been paying into Social Security your whole

345
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 2: working life. That's your money. You earned it. But special

346
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 2: interest groups in Washington are pushing cuts to Social Security,

347
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 2: and at a time when Americans are depending on it

348
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 2: now more than ever. That's why the AARP is fighting

349
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 2: to stop the cuts and protect your money. If you

350
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 2: agree that social Security should be protected, take the pledge

351
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 2: to do that today at AARP dot org slash we

352
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 2: earned it all right, New Hampshire twenty twenty six. A

353
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 2: lot of Senate races going on. The one that's getting

354
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 2: the least attention but maybe should get more is New Hampshire.

355
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 2: This is a high stakes race, an open seat battle

356
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 2: featuring a seat that Democrats have held in the form

357
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 2: of Jeene Shaheen.

358
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 3: She's out. Now there's an open seat.

359
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 2: The Democrat front runner is Representative Chris Pappis. That is

360
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 2: on the Democrats side and on the Republican side, there

361
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 2: are two candidates running. The front runner is Johnny Sinunu

362
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,919
Speaker 2: and he's also running against a fellow name Scott Brown.

363
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 2: So Sonunu he's the one that Republicans think has the

364
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 2: best chance to pick this up. Let's hear a little

365
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,400
Speaker 2: bit from his campaign and cut three.

366
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 8: Congress chef seems loud, dysfunctional, even angry. Well, somebody has

367
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:21,199
Speaker 8: to step up. Somebody has to get things done. Laser

368
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:25,360
Speaker 8: focus on the economy, jobs, our debt and making our

369
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 8: lives more affordable. As Senator of just one job, stand

370
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 8: up for the people of New Hampshire every single day.

371
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 8: The New Hampshire Way needs to be the American way.

372
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 8: I'm John Sunu and I approve this message.

373
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,640
Speaker 2: And joining us live to discuss this and the campaign

374
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 2: in general is John Sonunhu. Sir, Thanks for joining us

375
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 2: here on the Scott Jennings Show. You've been in politics

376
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 2: and then you were out of it. Talk to us

377
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 2: about your journey and what led you to run for

378
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,640
Speaker 2: the United States Senate here in twenty twenty six.

379
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:00,959
Speaker 9: Thanks Scott.

380
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,440
Speaker 8: Great to be with you, you know, seeing you fight

381
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 8: in the good fight for a long time. I feel

382
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 8: like the proverbial radio show, A longtime listener, first time caller.

383
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,640
Speaker 9: Right, it's good to be with you. Look, I'm an

384
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:13,679
Speaker 9: engineer by training.

385
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:18,680
Speaker 8: I worked in technology and manufacturing successfully for several years

386
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 8: before ever running for office. But I felt that kind

387
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 8: of background problem solving New Hampshire small business, that's what

388
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 8: we needed more of in politics in Washington in particular.

389
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,959
Speaker 9: Enjoyed my time serving in the House and Senate.

390
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:38,400
Speaker 8: I was able to write legislation banning internet taxes, protecting

391
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 8: our national forest here in New Hampshire, protecting the families

392
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 8: of law enforcement officers killed.

393
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 9: In the line of duty.

394
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 8: So you know, I think I have a good track

395
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 8: record of stepping up getting things done.

396
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 9: And after the Senate I went back to the private sector.

397
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 5: Right.

398
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 8: What I love technology innovation, startup firms, big firms. Served

399
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 8: on the board of some really high tech companies, great company.

400
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 8: My family has a Ski Area Watervo Valley. I served

401
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,360
Speaker 8: as chairman of the board for the Ski Area. So

402
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 8: you know, it's a great New Hampshire experience, small business experience.

403
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 8: And I'm running because this race is just incredibly important

404
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 8: in New Hampshire. We need someone who can be effective

405
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 8: in Washington, get things done with the administration, get things

406
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 8: done in Congress. You saw the ad, right, It's about affordability, jobs,

407
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 8: the economy. That's what people want to talk about. That

408
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 8: they want solutions in real answers, not just a lot

409
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 8: of rhetoric. And that's what our campaign has been about.

410
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 3: Talk to me about the dynamics in the fall.

411
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 2: Looks like you're going to be running against this fellow Congressman,

412
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:44,199
Speaker 2: Chris Pappis, and you're going to be running under the

413
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 2: Republican banner most likely here And you know, look, the

414
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 2: two parties have their brands. We've got Donald Trump sitting

415
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:54,360
Speaker 2: atop the Republican Party. Chris Pappis, you know when he

416
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 2: was in the House with Nancy Pelosi, voted with her

417
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:58,719
Speaker 2: ninety nine percent of the time. How much of this

418
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,239
Speaker 2: is going to be a battle over who is going

419
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,159
Speaker 2: to be labeled as a party person or who can

420
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 2: win the label of independent voice.

421
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 8: Well, look, if you want to be recognized as someone

422
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,400
Speaker 8: who's independent, someone who can get things done, you need

423
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 8: to get things done. And I just talked about a

424
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 8: handful of things that I did for the state of

425
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:24,160
Speaker 8: New Hampshire successfully, sometimes working with Democrats. Sometimes we had

426
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 8: democratic leadership in the Senate, we had Democrat presidents in

427
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:30,360
Speaker 8: some of those cases, but I was able.

428
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 9: To pass legislation.

429
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:35,120
Speaker 8: Chris Pappus has attempted very little in his eight years,

430
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:39,439
Speaker 8: and Conquerors he's accomplished even less. He's been on the

431
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 8: Transportation Committee for eight years and yet New England, New

432
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,400
Speaker 8: Hampshire ranks last in New England in federal highway fund

433
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 8: so he's just been totally ineffective. You mentioned the voting record,

434
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 8: and it's worth underscoring. When Nancy Pelosi was Speaker, he

435
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,440
Speaker 8: voted with her two hundred and twenty two out of

436
00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 8: two hundred twenty.

437
00:23:58,320 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 9: Three recorded votes.

438
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 8: First of all, that's not New Hampshire. It just simply

439
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 8: isn't representing New Hampshire. And second of all, you cannot

440
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 8: be effective when you're simply voting the party line like that.

441
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 8: So it's really a contrast of effectiveness, styles ability to get.

442
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 9: Things done for New Hampshire.

443
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 8: I've done it before, I'll do it again and equally important,

444
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 8: that's what this entire campaign has been about. I'm not

445
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 8: looking for another job. I'm not looking to make anyone

446
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:32,679
Speaker 8: in Washington happy. I've had a successful career in the

447
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:36,400
Speaker 8: private sector. I'm just focused on what's right for New Hampshire,

448
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 8: standing up for the people of this state every single day.

449
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 3: Talk to us about the issue of energy.

450
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 2: Seems to me this is a huge issue in most

451
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 2: of New England. Energy prices going up. A lot of

452
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 2: it has to do with what's going on at the

453
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 2: state level. I think there's a real contrast between your

454
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 2: views on energy and what PAPUS has done. Talk to

455
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 2: us about this, and I assume it's something that's coming

456
00:24:57,880 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 2: up in your conversations with voters across the state.

457
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 9: It does. It does.

458
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,719
Speaker 8: Look on the affordability side three issues, and I'll focus

459
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:10,639
Speaker 8: on energy here, but you've got housing, you've got healthcare,

460
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:14,880
Speaker 8: and certainly energy and energy covers a number of different pockets.

461
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:19,880
Speaker 8: But look first and foremost, it's about continuing to produce domestically.

462
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 8: We've achieved energy dominance in the United States because of

463
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 8: our willingness to explore responsibly, to produce responsibly, and export

464
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 8: all over the world. Second, we need better infrastructure, better

465
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 8: transmission natural gas pipelines, and that's what permitting reform is

466
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,119
Speaker 8: all about. Here in New Hampshire, we can't get a

467
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 8: gas pipeline with the necessary capacity to come up from

468
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 8: the South Atlantic mid Atlantic to New Hampshire through Massachusetts.

469
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 8: They block it every step of the way. New York,

470
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 8: they block it every step of the way. And that's

471
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 8: simply not right. It's not right for America. Certainly it's

472
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 8: bad for New Hampshire. So permitting reform, I don't necessarily

473
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 8: approve every project, but it will give people a time

474
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,159
Speaker 8: frame eighteen months where they'll get a yes or no,

475
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 8: and that makes all the difference when you're investing in

476
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 8: these big infrastructure projects to bring the cost of energy down.

477
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 8: And the last thing I'll say is, you know, we

478
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 8: don't need new energy taxes. That's obviously something my opponent,

479
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 8: Chris Papp has supported in the past. They talked about

480
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 8: higher gas taxes. He voted for one hundred billion and

481
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 8: new energy taxes under Joe Biden, and that certainly didn't

482
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 8: solve the problem. We saw gas prices go to five

483
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 8: dollars under Joe Biden and the kind of policies pap

484
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:37,880
Speaker 8: is supported.

485
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 3: Talking to John E.

486
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 2: Sanunu, Republican candidate for the United States Senate in New Hampshire,

487
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 2: let's shift focus to national security and international affairs. A

488
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 2: lot of people are focused on what's going on with Iran.

489
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 2: This has been going on for several months now. It's

490
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:56,400
Speaker 2: had an impact obviously on energy prices and gas prices

491
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 2: out there fluctuated a little bit based on what's in

492
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 2: the news on any given day. What are you telling voters?

493
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 2: How would you handle this if you were a United

494
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 2: States senator? The president has broad latitude on national security,

495
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 2: But what's your opinion about this conflict and when and

496
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 2: how it should come to an end.

497
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 8: Well, look, it wasn't the best timing, and I've said

498
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:21,359
Speaker 8: that publicly wouldn't have been my choice. But at the

499
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:25,119
Speaker 8: same time, our focus should simply be on what's in

500
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 8: America's national security interest, denying them access to a nuclear weapon,

501
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 8: degrading their ballistic missile program, and destroying their ability to

502
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 8: fund terrorism through proxies like AMAS and Hezbella. I think

503
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 8: on the nuclear side and the ballistic missile side. We've

504
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:47,119
Speaker 8: made great strides, accomplished most of those goals, and the

505
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 8: focus right now needs to be on getting the straight open.

506
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 8: It's in our interest, of course, but it's in the

507
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:58,159
Speaker 8: interest of the regional players. In Saudi Arabia is I

508
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 8: think leading an effort to gauge the Gulf States into

509
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 8: taking a much more active role in protecting the straight.

510
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 8: Europe and China should both be involved as well, because

511
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:12,199
Speaker 8: they've got a vested economic and national security interest, and

512
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 8: I think if and as they step up, we'll put

513
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:17,640
Speaker 8: together a plan that gets the job done.

514
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 3: Talking to John E.

515
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 2: Sanunu, Republican candidate for the United States Senate in New Hampshire,

516
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 2: I talked to us a little bit about the politics

517
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 2: and the mechanics here. We still have a primary to go.

518
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,400
Speaker 2: It looks to me like you have a healthy lead

519
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,399
Speaker 2: over Scott Brown. Interesting, you both have been in the Senate.

520
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 2: Scott Brown served in the Senate. You served in the Senate,

521
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 2: and you both come back now to run forward again.

522
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 2: Pappus is on the Democratic side. He has a primary

523
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 2: as well, and he's getting a little bit of criticism

524
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 2: in his primary on the left from taking money from Apak.

525
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 2: Is that coming up in your conversations with voters how

526
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 2: they're viewing candidates in their relationship with Jewish donors in

527
00:28:57,880 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 2: this cycle.

528
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 8: Well, look, I haven't spoken a lot to Democratic primary voters,

529
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 8: and I'll let them battle it out. You know, given

530
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 8: that he's been in Congress for eight years, it is

531
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 8: quite surprising that he's being held close to fifty percent

532
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 8: right now in his primary. The last poll had his

533
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 8: lead and maybe about twenty twenty two percent, which isn't

534
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 8: great for an incumbent. I don't take anything for granted

535
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 8: on the Republican side. I mean, we've been campaigning hard.

536
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 8: You put up an ad there that you know, we're

537
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 8: spending money advertising making sure we get the message out

538
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 8: about bringing down the cost of living, energy security and

539
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 8: the like. So we're running full blast in this primary.

540
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 8: It'll be September eighth. And at the same time, we

541
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 8: need to keep making the contrast with Chris pappis his

542
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 8: effectiveness on the Transportation Committee as an effectiveness as a leader.

543
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 8: Now Hampshire has even lost the Democrat First in the

544
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 8: Nation primary because Chris pap in our Democrat congressional delegation

545
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 8: has no sway, no clout. I mean, what's amazing to me.

546
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 8: It was twenty three votes I think for South Carolina,

547
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 8: nineteen votes for Nevada.

548
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 9: New Hampshire only got four votes in the DNC.

549
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 8: And that's just testament to the fact that Chris Pappus

550
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 8: can't get it done for New Hampshire. Whether it's whether

551
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 8: it's politics, whether it's policy, whether it's substance or funding

552
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 8: or leadership, it's just not there.

553
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 2: We're going to continue our conversation with john SONUNU, Republican

554
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 2: candidate for the US Senate New Hampshire, in just a moment. First,

555
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 2: I want to welcome a new partner into the Scott

556
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 2: Shetting Show. It's called Nobel Gold Investments. You hear a

557
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 2: lot about investing in gold and silver these days. The

558
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 2: real question was never should I invest? But who can

559
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 2: I trust when I make the decision to do it.

560
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 2: I would recommend you turn to Noble Gold Investments. They

561
00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 2: take something that feels complicated, they make it very simple.

562
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 2: Whether you're interested in bars and coins or and just

563
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 2: holding gold and silver in an ir Noble Gold is

564

Speaker 2: trusted and respected precious metals dealers, and they put your

566
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 2: interests first.

567
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 3: Here's what I like about Noble Gold. There is no.

568
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 2: Pressure, there are no gimmicks, and when you call up

Speaker 2: you answers that are tailored to your personal situation. This

571
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 2: is not a one size fits all pitch to get

572
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 2: you to buy gold. They give you answers that are

573
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,000

Speaker 7: It's the Scott Jennings Show.

586
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 2: Thursday, July thirtieth, Common Sense for the American People. Big

587
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 2: conversation today with john Sonunu, candidate for US Senate in

588
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 2: New Hampshire. Senator, you were in the Senate for one term.

589
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 2: You've left, You've done a lot of things in the

590
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 2: private sector. Now you've come back. What's your opinion, what's

591
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 2: changed more since you left the Senate? Washington or Johnson UNU.

592
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 9: Well, I've certainly changed.

593
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 8: I mean I've been out working in the private sector

594
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 8: for fifteen years. You learn a lot, you see a lot,

595
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 8: and I'm a firm believer I want people who have

596
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 8: had real world experience to bring it to public service

597
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 8: and help solve problems.

598
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 9: And so I've certainly changed a little. Look, Washington's changed

599
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 9: as well. You know, it's a little bit more.

600
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 10: Course.

601
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 8: I think a lot of that's driven by social media.

602
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 8: It's driven by the fact that people go on social media,

603
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 8: politicians just to try to generate followers, to try to

604
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 8: you know, generate a cult to personality. They're often not

605
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 8: really worried about actually getting things done. I mean, you

606
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 8: see that with some of these socialist candidates around the country.

607
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 8: You know, you wonder if they're really serious about doing

608
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 8: anything or getting the things done that they claim to

609
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 8: want to do, or are they just trying to rawl

610
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 8: arouse and build a following. I mean, do they really

611
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 8: want to abolish the Senate? Do they really want to

612
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 8: abolish our borders and defund the military? These are really

613
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 8: crazy ideas that would fundamentally undermine and destroy the fabric

614
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 8: of American security and our foundation of government. I will

615
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 8: say this though, The socialists are having impact already on

616
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,719
Speaker 8: Congress and on candidates like Chris Bappis, the one I'm

617
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 8: running against. He he voted again. It's the Defense Authorization Bill. Now,

618
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 8: this is a bill that funds the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard,

619
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 8: supports thousands of New Hampshire workers. Both Democrat members of

620
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:13,240
Speaker 8: Congress and Maine voted for it, but PAPIs voted against

621
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:17,800
Speaker 8: because he's afraid of the socialist left. They're moving him

622
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 8: to the left. You mentioned support for Israel. On the

623
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 8: last vote, a vote to cut off aid to Israel.

624
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 8: Chris Pappis couldn't decide if he was forward or against it,

625
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 8: so he voted present.

626
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 9: Again.

627
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 8: The fear and the influence of the left on candidates

628
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 8: like Chris Pappis, it's already undermining what I think is

629
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 8: in the interest of New Hampshire because he's failing to

630
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:48,399
Speaker 8: take a real stand and I'm sure it's happening all

631
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 8: over the country.

632
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 2: Let's do a little rapid fire on a few issues.

633
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 2: More nuclear power, yes or no?

634
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,360
Speaker 9: Big yes. Yeah. We have c book in New Hampshire,

635
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 9: unbelievably successful.

636
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 3: Should men ever compete in women's sports?

637
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 9: No? No, And this is an issue of difference.

638
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 8: Chris Pappus is on the other side here, unfortunately, and

639
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 8: it's not where the people in New Hampshire are.

640
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 2: Should voters be required to show identification? And generally, where

641
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 2: are you on the Save Act?

642
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:24,399
Speaker 8: Support the Save Acts? Support the idea of voter id

643
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 8: at the polls. We have it in New Hampshire. I

644
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 8: mean many states have it now. It's not even controversial anymore,

645
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 8: and it's a shame that we can't set a national standard.

646
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 2: Should members of Congress be banned from trading individual stocks?

647
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:44,720
Speaker 8: Yes, I think they should, but let's be clear, that's

648
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 8: barely real reform. I mean I support term limits. I

649
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,439
Speaker 8: think members of Congress should pay for their own health care.

650
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:54,760
Speaker 8: They shouldn't get any subsidy until they fix what they broke.

651
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:58,800
Speaker 8: And if you vote to shut down government, you shouldn't

652
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 8: get paid. And that's exactly Chris Pappus is on the

653
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 8: front of that line.

654
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:05,840
Speaker 9: He voted a dozen times to shut down government.

655
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:08,800
Speaker 8: He still collected a paycheck even though you know TSA

656
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:10,760
Speaker 8: and the air traffic controllers got stiffed.

657
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,799
Speaker 3: Who gives better political advice? Your father or your brother?

658
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 8: What?

659
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 3: I can't hear you.

660
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:21,719
Speaker 9: They're both very knowledgeable.

661
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:26,360
Speaker 8: Look, my brother's more current, but my father has obviously

662
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 8: more experience.

663
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:29,839
Speaker 9: But my dad always said, not.

664
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 8: Just to me publicly, he said, Look, the only advice

665
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 8: that's taken is advice that's asked for, and he's always

666
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 8: been very respectful of that.

667
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 3: All Right, This is John Sinunu.

668
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 2: He is the Republican candidate for Senate in New Hampshire.

669
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 2: He isn't a primary, it's coming up in September. Uh,

670
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 2: but most polls indicate that he has a comfortable lead.

671
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 2: I John, I think this one's flying under the radar,

672
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:56,759
Speaker 2: but it might be one of the Republicans' best pick

673
00:36:56,840 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 2: up opportunities. Looks like your website is sinwnew senator dot com.

674
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 3: I'll give you the last word ten seconds.

675
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:08,320
Speaker 8: Well, I appreciate you having me on, appreciate any support

676
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 8: out there. Look that the race is about New Hampshire,

677
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 8: but it's important to the country.

678
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 9: I'm excited about it.

679
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 8: It's going well and in New Hampshire it's town to town,

680
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 8: person to person.

681
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:18,280
Speaker 9: That's why we're winning.

682
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 3: All Right.

683
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:22,760
Speaker 2: That's John Snunu that voice you're hearing, candidate for Senate

684
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:24,800
Speaker 2: in New Hampshire. This is one of the biggest races

685
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:27,360
Speaker 2: of the twenty twenty six mid term. We're going to

686
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:29,799
Speaker 2: take a break. We'll have more news right after this.

687
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 2: It's common sense for the American people. We broadcast it

688
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:36,359
Speaker 2: on Salem. I'm Scott Jennings. Don't go anywhere. Quick check

689
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:39,719
Speaker 2: of the headlines here. On Thursday, July the thirtieth, just

690
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 2: a few minutes ago, President Trump at the White House

691
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:47,319
Speaker 2: announcing what he's calling the Freedom Haulers Initiative. This is

692
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:51,880
Speaker 2: to get illegal alien truck drivers off American roadways and

693
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 2: replace them with American veterans.

694
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 3: Here's the President cut twelve.

695
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 13: Thank you all for being here as we take action

696
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 13: to get illegal alien truck drivers off the American roadways.

697
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 13: We're doing a very strong movement and we have had

698
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 13: such support for this and replaced them with proud American veterans,

699
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:16,240
Speaker 13: and it's about time.

700
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:21,200
Speaker 2: If you're interested in this, initiative Look it Up Freedomhaulers

701
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 2: dot dot dot gov. Now, the president's contending with some

702
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:29,240
Speaker 2: economic numbers today that he's not going to love. Gross

703
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 2: domestic product last quarter clocking in at one point five percent.

704
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:37,800
Speaker 2: The expectation was somewhere between one point eight and two percent.

705
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:41,240
Speaker 2: Last quarter it was two point one. So economy growing

706
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:44,880
Speaker 2: but slowing down just a bit. Politics news South Carolina,

707
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 2: the race is on to replace Lindsey Graham in the

708
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 2: United States Senate. First polling is out on the Republican

709
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 2: primary from Emerson College. They find twenty two percent support

710
00:38:55,000 --> 00:39:00,320
Speaker 2: Congressman Ralph Norman, nineteen percent support Darlene Graham, who's Lindsey

711
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 2: Graham's sister and has the support of President Trump. Russell Frye, congressman,

712
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:07,759
Speaker 2: has twelve and Mark Sandford, the former governor and congressman,

713
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 2: has eleven. Quarter of the voters undecided the election. Snap

714
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:16,279
Speaker 2: election happens on August the eleventh, and Emerson, by the way,

715
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 2: also out today with the poll in the Michigan Senate

716
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 2: race Democrat primary coming up on Tuesday.

717
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 3: This Tuesday, and.

718
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 2: The Socialist Progressive Abdul l Sayed has a commanding lead

719
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 2: over Hayley Stevens. She has the backing of the Democratic establishment.

720
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:37,400
Speaker 2: Fifty four percent to thirty nine percent is the score

721
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 2: that comes up on Tuesday. I tend to think Abdul

722
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:44,719
Speaker 2: l Sayed would be easier for Republican Mike Rodgers to defeat.

723
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 2: We'll see what happens next week. We'll be tracking this

724
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 2: race closely for the rest of the year. Speaking of polling,

725
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 2: a lot of new data coming out from our friends

726
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:57,320
Speaker 2: at the Manhattan Institute on a number of topics, including

727
00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:01,240
Speaker 2: welfare reform. Joining us to discuss this new data, Jesse

728
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:05,240
Speaker 2: arm with a Manhattan Institute Jesse, talk to us about

729
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:07,719
Speaker 2: this data. What are the top line results of the

730
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:09,280
Speaker 2: new Manhattan Institute survey.

731
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:12,920
Speaker 14: It's great to be with you, Scott, thanks for having me.

732
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:13,959
Speaker 3: Look.

733
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 14: Thirty years after Bill Clinton signed welfare reform into law,

734
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 14: the Democratic Party has largely abandoned the politics it once

735
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 14: embraced in favor of something that is much more activist centric.

736
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:33,399
Speaker 14: This is the movement has now embraced universal benefits, unconditional

737
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:38,279
Speaker 14: cash assistance, and democratic socialism across the board, and our

738
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 14: new polling at the Manhattan Institute suggests that the American

739
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:44,400
Speaker 14: public has actually not made the same shift, despite the

740
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 14: fact that the political class that rules democratic politics has

741
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:52,160
Speaker 14: something like nearly three quarters of voters seventy four percent

742
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:54,839
Speaker 14: support work requirements for welfare recipients.

743
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 3: Sixty yes, seventy percent.

744
00:40:56,880 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 2: Hold on, Hold on, you're saying to me that three

745
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 2: quarters of American voters support work requirements for Medicaid or

746
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:10,280
Speaker 2: for welfare. Three quarters of the American people.

747
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:13,719
Speaker 14: That's not all I'm telling you. Let me tell you

748
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 14: more of these numbers I memorized before the right. Okay,

749
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 14: sixty seven percent favored targeted assistants over universal benefits. Eighty

750
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:27,399
Speaker 14: percent prefer providing benefits through food, housing, and healthcare over

751
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:30,440
Speaker 14: unrestricted cash and Scott. What's interesting about all of this

752
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:33,360
Speaker 14: is the fact that this is not new stuff. This

753
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:36,279
Speaker 14: was the welfare reform of the nineteen nineties. This was

754
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 14: Bill Clinton's Democratic Party, and the Democratic Party of today

755
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 14: couldn't be further from that. Socialism is ascendant. Abdul Elsaidism,

756
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 14: whatever that's all about, is ascendant. And it's not your

757
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 14: father's Democratic Party anymore. It's not JFK's Democratic Party, and

758
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 14: it ain't Bill Clinton's Democratic Party.

759
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 2: This is an important political question because I spent all

760
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:02,440
Speaker 2: last summer sitting at a desk CNN being assured by

761
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 2: everybody else that was sitting out there that work requirements

762
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:09,320
Speaker 2: in Medicaid were going to be the death of the

763
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:13,640
Speaker 2: Republicans in the November twenty twenty sixth election, And of

764
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:16,280
Speaker 2: course they wanted to ignore the fact that Bill Clinton

765
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 2: was working on this back in the nineties. But this polling,

766
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:22,360
Speaker 2: to me is astonishing, and Jesse, it suggests to me

767
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:25,520
Speaker 2: that Republicans who voted for the big, beautiful bill, who

768
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 2: voted for work requirements ought.

769
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:31,880
Speaker 3: To lean into it in the upcoming election. Is that

770
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:32,800
Speaker 3: what the poll tells you.

771
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 14: I think that's absolutely correct.

772
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 3: There is a broad public.

773
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:41,759
Speaker 14: Consensus that neither party actually, to be perfectly honest with you,

774
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:45,360
Speaker 14: Scott fully owns at this point, Americans continue to favor

775
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:51,240
Speaker 14: this Bill Clinton formula of combining compassion with responsibility, okay,

776
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 14: pairing this meaningful support for those in need with expectations

777
00:42:56,120 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 14: of work program integrity and public organ and while Democrats

778
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:05,719
Speaker 14: have increasingly I think distanced themselves from that approach, Republicans

779
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:10,399
Speaker 14: have not always presented it effectively or defined the fact

780
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 14: that they own this issue. And what our polling suggests

781
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:17,640
Speaker 14: is that there remains a substantial political opening for candidates

782
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:22,839
Speaker 14: who want to champion welfare, pragmatism and mainstream public safety ideas.

783
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 14: I should also mention we attested these ideas that a

784
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 14: lot of these DSA candidates are running on about abolishing

785
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 14: police prisons in the border very unpopular across the board

786
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:34,760
Speaker 14: every demographic, including those who are the most left leaning

787
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:37,160
Speaker 14: voters in this country. And I think that, you know,

788
00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:40,840
Speaker 14: the moderate politics that helped Clinton build a durable electoral

789
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:43,759
Speaker 14: coalition are still up to grabs, and I think Republicans

790
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:46,280
Speaker 14: are a whole lot closer to them, somewhat ironically today

791
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:47,799
Speaker 14: than this Democratic Party.

792
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:51,880
Speaker 2: Jesse arm is with the Manhattan Institute talking about a

793
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:56,239
Speaker 2: broad set of new polling questions just released from Manhattan. Jesse,

794
00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:58,440
Speaker 2: you had an interesting question about the death penalty. We

795
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 2: don't see data on this very often. How do Americans

796
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:03,719
Speaker 2: feel about the death penalty here in twenty twenty six.

797
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:08,280
Speaker 14: Yeah, this is a pretty interesting one. The death penalty

798
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 14: is quite popular, and that matters. That matters from the

799
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:17,120
Speaker 14: standpoint of the fact that Americans believe in retribution for

800
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 14: egregious crimes. They will not be made to feel bad

801
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:24,520
Speaker 14: for believing both that this is a just outcome and

802
00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 14: that it serves some kind of deterrent effect. Americans are

803
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 14: actually not only in favor of the death penalty in

804
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:34,799
Speaker 14: instances of capital crimes by the offender as well. They're

805
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 14: also interested in pursuing the death penalty for child rapists,

806
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:43,120
Speaker 14: for terrorists who wish to blow up Americans.

807
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 3: But fail and succeeding to do so.

808
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:48,279
Speaker 14: There are a whole lot of outcomes in which Americans

809
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 14: have an appetite for a much harder approach to crime

810
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:56,719
Speaker 14: and punishment, and increasingly, I think the Republican Party has

811
00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:59,800
Speaker 14: this temptation to go soft on some of these questions.

812
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:02,719
Speaker 14: Should not, and they should be weary of the fact

813
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 14: that the American people believe in this as a virtue

814
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:06,600
Speaker 14: as well.

815
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:09,359
Speaker 2: All Right, you've seen a lot of data here, Jesse,

816
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:12,840
Speaker 2: things that are working for both parties, things that aren't working.

817
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:15,759
Speaker 2: If you were a Democrat, what would concern you the

818
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:18,040
Speaker 2: most about the data here in your latest survey.

819
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:21,840
Speaker 14: Well, I think what I'd be concerned about is the

820
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 14: fact that Democrats are incentivized to say exactly the things

821
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 14: in primaries that they are going to be hurt by

822
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 14: in general elections. So the Democratic Party has this ascendant

823
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 14: force right now. It's the DSA, It's Democratic Socialists, It's

824
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:41,720
Speaker 14: people who have sympathies for Islamists and people who engage

825
00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:42,960
Speaker 14: in Jihati terrorism.

826
00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:46,760
Speaker 3: Okay. And you know who's not a part of that train.

827
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:52,200
Speaker 14: Who's this big loyal constituency to the Democratic Party for many,

828
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:55,160
Speaker 14: many years at this point, but who are consistently preferring

829
00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:59,400
Speaker 14: Andrew Cuomo Overszaron Mamdani, preferring Haley Stevens over abdual l said,

830
00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:04,640
Speaker 14: you know, Jasmin Crockett, even over James Tallerico in Texas,

831
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:09,600
Speaker 14: it's the black voters, Okay. The majority of black voters,

832
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:13,480
Speaker 14: which have been a massive piece of the Democratic constituency

833
00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 14: for such a long time, are increasingly seeing their preferences replaced.

834
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:20,839
Speaker 14: The central story of the American left at this point

835
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:25,439
Speaker 14: is no longer one about slavery being America's original sin,

836
00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:28,960
Speaker 14: and working class and middle class black folks who just

837
00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:34,240
Speaker 14: want to have good life and pursue you know, freedom

838
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:39,280
Speaker 14: and prosperity. Increasingly it is this more radical story. Somewhat ironically,

839
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:43,040
Speaker 14: as the Democratic Party gets whiter, gets richer, gets more

840
00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:48,239
Speaker 14: highly educated, there's this new activist centered story about the

841
00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:53,160
Speaker 14: global South and America as sort of an imperial evil

842
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 14: that is not uniquely evil, because there's also all these

843
00:46:56,680 --> 00:47:00,239
Speaker 14: other Western imperial powers, whether it's the UK, or whether

844
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:03,040
Speaker 14: it's Israel, or really you name it, anyone who kind

845
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 14: of fits into this colonizer bucket. That's the new central

846
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:09,880
Speaker 14: story on the left, and it's replacing the things that

847
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:12,720
Speaker 14: black voters care about. Who are the most loyal voting

848
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:14,120
Speaker 14: block for the Democratic Party?

849
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:18,239
Speaker 2: Fascinating stuff. Jesse arm Is with the Manhattan Institute, Thanks

850
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:21,600
Speaker 2: for the data today. When it comes to supplements, my friends,

851
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:23,200
Speaker 2: two things matter to you.

852
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:25,239
Speaker 3: Does this work? And can you trust it?

853
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:28,440
Speaker 2: Rather than me tell you the answers on behalf of

854
00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:32,040
Speaker 2: relief Factor, I would rather let our customers do the talking.

855
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:35,080
Speaker 2: Here's a note from Mark. He was in tears because

856
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:39,240
Speaker 2: of daily hand joint discomfort. After a week of relief

857
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:44,080
Speaker 2: Factor fifty percent better. Now after several months he barely

858
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:47,280
Speaker 2: notices any pain at all. Could you have a similar

859
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:49,680
Speaker 2: story that you'll be sending into us? I hope, so

860
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:53,120
Speaker 2: try it out. Three weeks of relief Factor cost seventeen

861
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:54,720
Speaker 2: dollars and seventy six cents.

862
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:55,440
Speaker 3: What a bargain.

863
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:58,880
Speaker 2: It's waiting for you at relief factor dot com or

864
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:02,239
Speaker 2: by calling one eight hundred for Relief. I hope you'll

865
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:06,160
Speaker 2: send us your relief Factor story very soon. Major economic

866
00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:08,040
Speaker 2: development news from the Department of Energy.

867
00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:09,399
Speaker 3: We have that story next.

868
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:14,000
Speaker 7: Stay with us the very definition of never backed down. Here,

869
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:14,960
Speaker 7: Scott Jennings.

870
00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:20,000
Speaker 2: It is Thursday, July the thirtieth broadcasting for Salem Common

871
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:24,240
Speaker 2: Sense for the American People on location today in Knoxville, Tennessee.

872
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:29,759
Speaker 2: Let's talk energy and economic development, shall we. The Commonwealth

873
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:32,640
Speaker 2: of Kentucky has landed what could become one of the

874
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:37,160
Speaker 2: largest private investments in the history of that state. The

875
00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:41,600
Speaker 2: Trump Administration's Department of Energy has announced a partnership to

876
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 2: redevelop part of the old federal nuclear site in Paduca

877
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:53,280
Speaker 2: into an enormous artificial intelligence and high performance computing campus.

878
00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:57,720
Speaker 2: The investment they're talking about here is huge, one hundred

879
00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:02,480
Speaker 2: billion dollars privately funded by the way, and it has

880
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:07,280
Speaker 2: a massive economic impact about eight thousand construction jobs, followed

881
00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:11,600
Speaker 2: by six hundred permanent jobs once this campus is up

882
00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:16,840
Speaker 2: and operating. This is not a simple case of just

883
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:20,400
Speaker 2: another data center that's plugging into the existing electrical grid.

884
00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:24,520
Speaker 2: And leaving people wondering whether their utility builds are about

885
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:27,960
Speaker 2: to shoot through the roof. The developers here are also

886
00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:33,360
Speaker 2: planning to build the energy infrastructure needed to power it.

887
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:35,319
Speaker 3: This is a key point. Next.

888
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:38,840
Speaker 2: Stra Energy is the company here, and they are planning

889
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:44,520
Speaker 2: to construct two gigawatts of new natural gas generation, and

890
00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:48,600
Speaker 2: this would upgrade the region's transmission system and add as

891
00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:52,800
Speaker 2: much as two point six gigawatts of battery storage. The

892
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:57,360
Speaker 2: AI campus itself expected to require about one point eight gigawatts,

893
00:49:57,400 --> 00:50:00,760
Speaker 2: So in other words, the project is going to produce

894
00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:06,680
Speaker 2: and store more electricity than the data center consumes, and

895
00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:10,720
Speaker 2: the excess power is going to flow onto the regional

896
00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:11,600
Speaker 2: power grit.

897
00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:14,479
Speaker 3: This is a good thing for every regular rate payer.

898
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:19,080
Speaker 2: Americans on data centers are worried about how these data

899
00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:22,360
Speaker 2: centers are going to affect their electrical bills, and this

900
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:26,560
Speaker 2: project seems to get it just right. President Trump has

901
00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:30,320
Speaker 2: been talking a lot lately about this rate payer protection pledge,

902
00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:35,720
Speaker 2: and that means these facilities cannot simply consume enormous amounts

903
00:50:35,719 --> 00:50:40,600
Speaker 2: of electricity and force small businesses and families to subsidize them.

904
00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:44,520
Speaker 2: The companies that are benefiting from the AI boom I

905
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:47,320
Speaker 2: think should help pay for the new generation that's needed

906
00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:49,920
Speaker 2: to support it. And that's what's happening here. The Energy

907
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:52,800
Speaker 2: Secretary is named Chris Wright. He was in Paducah to

908
00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:56,440
Speaker 2: announce this project, and he says, this is an example

909
00:50:56,560 --> 00:51:01,040
Speaker 2: of how America can build the infrastructure necessary to win

910
00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:06,080
Speaker 2: the AI race, but not burden everyday average American rate payers.

911
00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:07,760
Speaker 3: Let's listen to Chris Wright and cut eleven.

912
00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:11,440
Speaker 11: So we've got a number of industrial sites around the

913
00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:14,760
Speaker 11: country that we're key in World War two and post

914
00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:18,239
Speaker 11: World War two efforts. And then as those efforts ramped down,

915
00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:23,160
Speaker 11: those sites became quiet, jobs left those regions and were

916
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:27,399
Speaker 11: revitalizing those regions to allow the development of massive new

917
00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:33,040
Speaker 11: power generation data centers in additional advanced manufacturing to bring

918
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:37,120
Speaker 11: jobs and opportunities across rural America, allow us to lead

919
00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:41,560
Speaker 11: China and the AI race and push down electricity prices

920
00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:46,160
Speaker 11: after four years of inflated prices under President Biden. Of course,

921
00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:49,319
Speaker 11: there's a fear campaign going on right now. And why

922
00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:52,920
Speaker 11: it's going on is the Democrats, since the election of

923
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:57,840
Speaker 11: President Obama, have spent seventeen years pushing up electricity prices.

924
00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:03,120
Speaker 11: Blue states have fifty percent higher electricity prices than red states,

925
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:06,440
Speaker 11: and now they figure they've got the perfect scapegoat. It

926
00:52:06,680 --> 00:52:11,040
Speaker 11: wasn't our bad green policies, it was data centers that didn't.

927
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:13,120
Speaker 11: Of course, it's total nonsense.

928
00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:17,319
Speaker 2: Here's my take. I actually have two takes. Number one,

929
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:20,880
Speaker 2: Chris Wright is dead on. You have Democrats trying to

930
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:25,080
Speaker 2: deflect attention from their own policies and blame something for

931
00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:28,600
Speaker 2: higher energy prices. That's not to blame. Number two, In

932
00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:32,640
Speaker 2: my opinion, this is what intelligent economic development ought to

933
00:52:32,680 --> 00:52:36,000
Speaker 2: look like. You take federal land that's already served an

934
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:39,279
Speaker 2: important national purpose and put it back into productive use.

935
00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:41,640
Speaker 3: You know this Paduca side. I'm familiar with it. I'm

936
00:52:41,640 --> 00:52:42,600
Speaker 3: from down in that area.

937
00:52:43,120 --> 00:52:47,760
Speaker 2: It wants enriched uranium for America's nuclear energy and national

938
00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:52,440
Speaker 2: security programs, and the government is continuing the necessary environmental cleanup.

939
00:52:52,719 --> 00:52:56,600
Speaker 2: But the property has available land, it has transmission capacity,

940
00:52:56,680 --> 00:53:00,719
Speaker 2: it has water infrastructure, fiber connectivity. These are the assets

941
00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:04,759
Speaker 2: that you need for a modern computing campus. Number two,

942
00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:08,800
Speaker 2: they are requiring new energy production to accompany this project

943
00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:12,239
Speaker 2: and to meet new energy demands. You can't build the

944
00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:17,520
Speaker 2: AI economy with slogans and wishful thinking. Artificial intelligence is

945
00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:21,400
Speaker 2: going to require extraordinary computing power, and it needs reliable

946
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:24,640
Speaker 2: electricity every second of the day. That means things like

947
00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:28,239
Speaker 2: natural gas, It means transmission lines, it means storage, and

948
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:31,560
Speaker 2: it ought to mean a major expansion of America nuclear

949
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:36,719
Speaker 2: power as well. Finally, this is being built in America's heartland,

950
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:42,400
Speaker 2: right in Middle America, Western Kentucky. Congratulations on the project.

951
00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:43,359
Speaker 3: This is a good thing.

952
00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:45,640
Speaker 2: It's a good thing for the Trump administration, good thing

953
00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:49,960
Speaker 2: for Kentucky, good thing for America in general. Richard Hudson,

954
00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:53,200
Speaker 2: Congressman from North Carolina, is next. Stay with us on

955
00:53:53,239 --> 00:53:54,120
Speaker 2: the Scott Chitting.

956
00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:59,120
Speaker 12: Show, saving question civilization, one busted leftist narrative at a time.

957
00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:01,200
Speaker 7: It's Scott Jenny.

958
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:03,720
Speaker 3: Show coming up in sixty seconds.

959
00:54:03,800 --> 00:54:07,040
Speaker 2: We talked to the chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee,

960
00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:11,640
Speaker 2: Congressman Richard Hudson of North Carolina. But first, here is

961
00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:14,880
Speaker 2: a reality that the bureaucrats don't want to talk about.

962
00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:19,520
Speaker 2: Alzheimer's is becoming an economic time bomb and our country

963
00:54:19,719 --> 00:54:22,360
Speaker 2: is simply not ready. Cases are on track to double

964
00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:25,440
Speaker 2: the fourteen million by twenty sixty. This will put pressure

965
00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:29,400
Speaker 2: on families, the workforce, and an already strained Medicare and

966
00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:33,040
Speaker 2: Medicaid system. Here is what should get your attention. It's

967
00:54:33,080 --> 00:54:36,680
Speaker 2: American families that shoulder most of the burden. They cover

968
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:40,080
Speaker 2: about seventy percent of the four hundred thousand dollars lifetime

969
00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:44,480
Speaker 2: care cost for any Alzheimer's patient. Now, our competitors in

970
00:54:44,560 --> 00:54:47,480
Speaker 2: the world, they're not standing still. China, in fact, has

971
00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:52,320
Speaker 2: launched a national priority to expand early diagnosis and treatment.

972
00:54:52,719 --> 00:54:55,200
Speaker 2: Why aren't we doing that here in the United States?

973
00:54:55,239 --> 00:54:58,600
Speaker 2: We have the tools like simple blood tests to spot

974
00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:02,200
Speaker 2: the early signs of alzheimer and it's good politics.

975
00:55:02,239 --> 00:55:03,680
Speaker 3: Four and five voters.

976
00:55:03,719 --> 00:55:06,120
Speaker 2: Say they are more likely to support a candidate who

977
00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:11,120
Speaker 2: prioritizes better access to Alzheimer's detection, diagnosis, and treatment. That

978
00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:13,160
Speaker 2: would be good for families, It would certainly be good

979
00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:16,040
Speaker 2: for the economy, and frankly to me, it sounds like

980
00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:19,680
Speaker 2: common sense. To get in on this conversation or join

981
00:55:19,760 --> 00:55:23,600
Speaker 2: the fight. Go to our friends at Marketinstitute dot org.

982
00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:27,040
Speaker 2: That is Market Institute dot org.

983
00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:28,080
Speaker 3: All right.

984
00:55:28,200 --> 00:55:31,600
Speaker 2: Earlier this week, we passed the one hundred day mark

985
00:55:31,719 --> 00:55:36,640
Speaker 2: until election day, and the National Republican Congressional Committee released

986
00:55:36,719 --> 00:55:41,600
Speaker 2: a memo about the GOP's position as it relates to

987
00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:45,880
Speaker 2: holding the majority in the November midterm. Here to discuss

988
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:49,279
Speaker 2: that is the chairman of the NRCC, that's what we

989
00:55:49,400 --> 00:55:52,640
Speaker 2: call it in Washington. His name is Richard Hudson of

990
00:55:53,160 --> 00:55:56,560
Speaker 2: North Carolina. Mister chairman, thanks for joining us here on

991
00:55:56,680 --> 00:55:59,640
Speaker 2: the Scott Jennings Show. You released a memo one hundred

992
00:55:59,719 --> 00:56:02,919
Speaker 2: days to go. Tell us why do you think Republicans

993
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:07,320
Speaker 2: are positioned to defy history and hold the majority this November.

994
00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:12,040
Speaker 4: Well, thank you, Scott, it's great to be with you again. Listen,

995
00:56:12,080 --> 00:56:15,480
Speaker 4: there's no question we're going to hold this majority. Number one,

996
00:56:15,560 --> 00:56:18,320
Speaker 4: Republicans are on offense. You know, we've got great candidates,

997
00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:24,120
Speaker 4: We've got a battlefield that favors Republicans, We've got record fundraising,

998
00:56:24,560 --> 00:56:27,080
Speaker 4: and the polls are tightening in our direction. You know,

999
00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:29,920
Speaker 4: we're we're not just focused on campaign slogans. You know,

1000
00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:32,000
Speaker 4: our majority in the House has been focused on the

1001
00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:35,000
Speaker 4: American people and we've we have a clear agenda to

1002
00:56:35,080 --> 00:56:38,960
Speaker 4: run on tax cuts, a secure border, an economy is working,

1003
00:56:39,560 --> 00:56:41,440
Speaker 4: and finally, you know, this election is going to be

1004
00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:43,080
Speaker 4: a choice and the American people are going to be

1005
00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:46,320
Speaker 4: asked to decide do you do you do believe in

1006
00:56:46,400 --> 00:56:49,239
Speaker 4: Donald Trump's agenda that is bringing this country back, or

1007
00:56:49,280 --> 00:56:52,799
Speaker 4: do you want to follow the socialist agenda that Mam

1008
00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:55,919
Speaker 4: Dommi and others are now pushing for the Democrat Party.

1009
00:56:56,000 --> 00:56:59,160
Speaker 4: And so, you know, the indicators are going our way.

1010
00:56:59,360 --> 00:57:03,759
Speaker 4: Were camp paying on promises made, promises kept, and this

1011
00:57:03,880 --> 00:57:05,640
Speaker 4: election is going to be a choice election and the

1012
00:57:05,719 --> 00:57:08,680
Speaker 4: Democrats are making that choice very easy for the voters.

1013
00:57:09,960 --> 00:57:11,919
Speaker 2: Mister Cherman, it seems to me you have a few

1014
00:57:11,960 --> 00:57:14,640
Speaker 2: things going in your direction. One of them is, after

1015
00:57:14,760 --> 00:57:18,520
Speaker 2: all the redistricting fights, it seems to me the Republicans

1016
00:57:18,600 --> 00:57:21,280
Speaker 2: probably have netted out ten to twelve seats here.

1017
00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:25,000
Speaker 3: That's number one. Number two, you have a financial advantage.

1018
00:57:25,040 --> 00:57:28,480
Speaker 2: It is a substantial financial advantage for your committee and

1019
00:57:28,520 --> 00:57:30,760
Speaker 2: for the Republican Party. And number three, and we've been

1020
00:57:30,840 --> 00:57:33,840
Speaker 2: talking a lot about this on the show, it strikes

1021
00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:36,320
Speaker 2: me that the Democrats and a lot of these purple

1022
00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:40,400
Speaker 2: districts have been nominating or are about to nominate candidates

1023
00:57:40,800 --> 00:57:44,840
Speaker 2: who are way way outside the main stream. Do you

1024
00:57:44,920 --> 00:57:47,880
Speaker 2: see those three things as key advantages and maybe comment

1025
00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:48,480
Speaker 2: on each of them.

1026
00:57:49,560 --> 00:57:52,480
Speaker 4: Sure, I think you're one hundred percent right. You know,

1027
00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:56,240
Speaker 4: I felt like we had a favorable map coming into

1028
00:57:56,280 --> 00:58:00,920
Speaker 4: this election before redistricting. You know, typically a midterm election

1029
00:58:01,480 --> 00:58:04,760
Speaker 4: is a correction election, so presidential election to whatever party

1030
00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:07,600
Speaker 4: the president's inn when they come into office, they usually

1031
00:58:07,640 --> 00:58:09,800
Speaker 4: bring in a lot of extra seats, and in that

1032
00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:12,800
Speaker 4: midterm you'll see the voters in those districts sort of

1033
00:58:12,880 --> 00:58:15,160
Speaker 4: go back to their normal voting patterns, and you do

1034
00:58:15,280 --> 00:58:17,200
Speaker 4: see these swings. But that's just not the case with

1035
00:58:17,280 --> 00:58:20,360
Speaker 4: this map. It's a tiny map. There's so few seats

1036
00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:22,160
Speaker 4: that are up for grabs. There's just a lot of

1037
00:58:22,240 --> 00:58:25,160
Speaker 4: Republican seats are safe and a lot of Democrat seats

1038
00:58:25,200 --> 00:58:26,880
Speaker 4: are safe. So when you look at the seats that

1039
00:58:26,920 --> 00:58:29,480
Speaker 4: are actually up for grabs, there's more Democrats sitting in

1040
00:58:29,560 --> 00:58:33,320
Speaker 4: Republican seats than Republicans sitting in Democrat seats. That became

1041
00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:38,440
Speaker 4: even more the case after redistricting. On fundraising, you're exactly right,

1042
00:58:38,840 --> 00:58:41,920
Speaker 4: you know, for the first time since I recall, the

1043
00:58:42,200 --> 00:58:47,320
Speaker 4: Republicans have outraised the Democrat campaign committee and ability resources

1044
00:58:47,360 --> 00:58:49,480
Speaker 4: to compete on a bigger map than Democrats are going

1045
00:58:49,560 --> 00:58:51,800
Speaker 4: to be able to afford to play on. And the

1046
00:58:51,880 --> 00:58:55,520
Speaker 4: reason is money follows momentum. And Republican donors understand what's

1047
00:58:55,560 --> 00:58:59,520
Speaker 4: at stake, and so Republicans will have the resources to

1048
00:58:59,800 --> 00:59:02,040
Speaker 4: tell our story, to to make this case to the

1049
00:59:02,160 --> 00:59:05,440
Speaker 4: to the voters. And uh, I think that's a huge advantage.

1050
00:59:06,280 --> 00:59:08,720
Speaker 4: And I think you know, another factor that is really

1051
00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:11,920
Speaker 4: important is just just candidate quality. You know, and we

1052
00:59:12,040 --> 00:59:14,840
Speaker 4: talk about sort of the leftward trend of the Democrats.

1053
00:59:14,880 --> 00:59:17,600
Speaker 4: I mean, I've I've described it as a Bolshevik revolution

1054
00:59:17,800 --> 00:59:20,520
Speaker 4: and Democrat primaries. You know, all the energy and all

1055
00:59:20,560 --> 00:59:23,920
Speaker 4: the money is going to candidates. I'm not calling them socialists.

1056
00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:27,240
Speaker 4: These are candidates who call themselves socialists and uh. And

1057
00:59:27,360 --> 00:59:29,560
Speaker 4: they've you know, they put in writing what their agenda

1058
00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:32,800
Speaker 4: is and it's it's anti American. And you know, we're

1059
00:59:32,840 --> 00:59:35,800
Speaker 4: no longer uh a case in this country where Republicans

1060
00:59:35,840 --> 00:59:38,680
Speaker 4: and Democrats are debating marginal tax rates for you know,

1061
00:59:38,880 --> 00:59:40,640
Speaker 4: arguing over the size of the bureaucracy.

1062
00:59:41,160 --> 00:59:41,240
Speaker 14: Uh.

1063
00:59:41,320 --> 00:59:45,200
Speaker 4: The Democrats now are arguing to fundamentally destroy the institutions

1064
00:59:45,240 --> 00:59:48,000
Speaker 4: that make our country great. And so you know, they

1065
00:59:48,080 --> 00:59:51,600
Speaker 4: are nominating candidates that are unelectable and uh, and it's

1066
00:59:51,720 --> 00:59:55,040
Speaker 4: it's you know, you look at these battleground districts, thanks

1067
00:59:55,080 --> 00:59:58,240
Speaker 4: to President Trump working closely with US, helping US recruit candidates,

1068
00:59:58,680 --> 00:59:59,680
Speaker 4: UH supporting candidates.

1069
00:59:59,720 --> 00:59:59,919
Speaker 11: Early.

1070
01:00:00,760 --> 01:00:04,280
Speaker 4: We've avoided primaries and almost all these competitive seats, whereas

1071
01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:07,760
Speaker 4: the Democrats have had bruising primaries, very expensive primaries, and

1072
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:12,000
Speaker 4: as you say, they're electing these self proclaimed socialists that

1073
01:00:12,800 --> 01:00:14,600
Speaker 4: make it very easy for us to draw a contrast

1074
01:00:14,680 --> 01:00:15,240
Speaker 4: for the voters.

1075
01:00:16,240 --> 01:00:19,920
Speaker 2: That voice you're listening to Richard Hudson, Congressman from North Carolina.

1076
01:00:20,040 --> 01:00:22,680
Speaker 2: He's part of the leadership in the House for the Republicans.

1077
01:00:23,080 --> 01:00:26,240
Speaker 2: He runs the National Republican Congressional Campaign Committee. He's in

1078
01:00:26,360 --> 01:00:29,840
Speaker 2: charge of getting Republicans elected in November a congressman. On

1079
01:00:29,960 --> 01:00:33,400
Speaker 2: this issue of socialism taking over the Democratic Party, I

1080
01:00:33,520 --> 01:00:36,280
Speaker 2: was reviewing some CNN polling today.

1081
01:00:37,040 --> 01:00:38,880
Speaker 3: Listen to this. You may not have seen this yet.

1082
01:00:39,520 --> 01:00:43,680
Speaker 2: The percentage of Democrats who say to CNN that they

1083
01:00:43,760 --> 01:00:48,560
Speaker 2: are either enthusiastic or at least okay with their party

1084
01:00:48,920 --> 01:00:55,960
Speaker 2: nominating socialists seventy three percent. You have three quarters of

1085
01:00:56,040 --> 01:00:58,760
Speaker 2: the Democratic Party who had a minimum say yeah, I

1086
01:00:58,840 --> 01:01:01,040
Speaker 2: think it's fine if we go down the socialist route,

1087
01:01:01,040 --> 01:01:04,120
Speaker 2: and a lot more are enthusiastic about it. To me,

1088
01:01:05,160 --> 01:01:08,080
Speaker 2: campaigns are about setting up bright lines. You couldn't have

1089
01:01:08,280 --> 01:01:12,760
Speaker 2: brighter lines between this socialist agenda and the common sense agenda.

1090
01:01:12,800 --> 01:01:15,960
Speaker 2: The speaker says, it's common sense first. Communism. Is that

1091
01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:18,160
Speaker 2: a label that we're going to see the Republicans using

1092
01:01:18,160 --> 01:01:18,960
Speaker 2: all over the country.

1093
01:01:20,320 --> 01:01:22,480
Speaker 4: Well, I think so. But you know, we're gonna tailor

1094
01:01:22,520 --> 01:01:24,560
Speaker 4: every one of these races based on the districts they're

1095
01:01:24,600 --> 01:01:27,760
Speaker 4: running in. You know, for example, we've got Carrie Buck

1096
01:01:27,840 --> 01:01:31,280
Speaker 4: running in Nevada against Deano Titis. Carrie Buck's one of

1097
01:01:31,280 --> 01:01:32,640
Speaker 4: the best candidates we've ever had.

1098
01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:33,360
Speaker 10: Uh.

1099
01:01:33,520 --> 01:01:36,240
Speaker 4: She's a former teacher, former principal of the year, her

1100
01:01:36,360 --> 01:01:39,600
Speaker 4: husband's a retired police officer. One of her children's in

1101
01:01:39,680 --> 01:01:43,360
Speaker 4: the military. She's held a Democrat state Senate seat. She

1102
01:01:43,520 --> 01:01:46,120
Speaker 4: is exactly the kind of candidate we we look for.

1103
01:01:46,760 --> 01:01:49,240
Speaker 4: And she's running against Dean Titus, who voted against no

1104
01:01:49,400 --> 01:01:50,720
Speaker 4: tax on tips in Nevada.

1105
01:01:51,080 --> 01:01:51,280
Speaker 10: Yep.

1106
01:01:51,440 --> 01:01:53,280
Speaker 4: Uh, So you're going to be hearing a lot about

1107
01:01:53,320 --> 01:01:56,040
Speaker 4: that vote, and I believe you know we're gonna we're

1108
01:01:56,040 --> 01:01:58,800
Speaker 4: gonna prevail because of that. But you know, it is

1109
01:01:58,880 --> 01:02:03,919
Speaker 4: a stunning number, Scott that seventy percent of Democrats would

1110
01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:07,400
Speaker 4: be okay with socialist takeover. I mean to me, though,

1111
01:02:07,600 --> 01:02:10,440
Speaker 4: it's really an indictment of our education system in America

1112
01:02:10,880 --> 01:02:13,440
Speaker 4: that any Americans would think socialism is a good idea,

1113
01:02:14,320 --> 01:02:18,400
Speaker 4: you know, I think, you know, the self proclaimed socialists

1114
01:02:18,400 --> 01:02:21,120
Speaker 4: try to sell it as capitalism light or a counter

1115
01:02:21,280 --> 01:02:26,040
Speaker 4: genillar version of capitalism. But anyone who studied history, anyone

1116
01:02:26,080 --> 01:02:29,840
Speaker 4: who knows anything about economic theory, understands that socialism is

1117
01:02:29,880 --> 01:02:36,520
Speaker 4: a transitory period between a free society and fatalitarianism and communism,

1118
01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:41,840
Speaker 4: and it always leads to pain. It always leads to

1119
01:02:42,280 --> 01:02:46,760
Speaker 4: suffering and death, and every American should reject socialism. So

1120
01:02:47,200 --> 01:02:49,520
Speaker 4: what it tells me is that as we run these campaigns,

1121
01:02:49,600 --> 01:02:51,640
Speaker 4: we got to connect the dots for the American people.

1122
01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:54,560
Speaker 4: You know, it's not enough to say that this candidates

1123
01:02:54,600 --> 01:02:57,040
Speaker 4: the socialist. Is to say this candid is a socialist.

1124
01:02:57,200 --> 01:03:00,400
Speaker 4: And that means you will everything that you purchase for

1125
01:03:00,440 --> 01:03:02,200
Speaker 4: your family is going to be more expensive. It means

1126
01:03:02,240 --> 01:03:05,560
Speaker 4: that you will have less choices about your family's life

1127
01:03:05,600 --> 01:03:07,680
Speaker 4: in terms of if you can't choose your doctor, you

1128
01:03:08,320 --> 01:03:11,240
Speaker 4: can't choose the school. You know, these choices will be

1129
01:03:11,320 --> 01:03:15,000
Speaker 4: made for you by a government, and good luck if

1130
01:03:15,040 --> 01:03:17,960
Speaker 4: that government you knows benevolent or not. I mean, that

1131
01:03:18,120 --> 01:03:19,800
Speaker 4: is not the world the Americans want to live in.

1132
01:03:20,400 --> 01:03:20,560
Speaker 8: You know.

1133
01:03:21,040 --> 01:03:24,400
Speaker 4: Republicans offer a different view, where we have a secure country,

1134
01:03:24,440 --> 01:03:27,000
Speaker 4: a free country, a safe country, where every American can

1135
01:03:27,040 --> 01:03:30,920
Speaker 4: live up to their potential and every American family can

1136
01:03:30,960 --> 01:03:33,240
Speaker 4: afford the things they need. That is our vision for

1137
01:03:33,320 --> 01:03:35,400
Speaker 4: the country. And we just have to connect the dots

1138
01:03:35,720 --> 01:03:39,800
Speaker 4: to how dark and dreary and depressing the Democrat agend is.

1139
01:03:42,160 --> 01:03:45,680
Speaker 2: Congressman, in your memo, this one hundred day memo, you

1140
01:03:45,840 --> 01:03:50,360
Speaker 2: had the national generic ballot at four points for the Democrats,

1141
01:03:50,480 --> 01:03:54,200
Speaker 2: not an insturmountable lead by any stretch of the imagination.

1142
01:03:54,440 --> 01:03:57,360
Speaker 2: Some other news outlet polling this week has a little

1143
01:03:57,480 --> 01:04:01,800
Speaker 2: wider but basically the generic vat it is floating slightly

1144
01:04:02,080 --> 01:04:04,800
Speaker 2: Democrat at this point. Do you feel okay about that?

1145
01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:07,800
Speaker 2: And maybe talk to our listeners about the generic ballot?

1146
01:04:07,800 --> 01:04:09,600
Speaker 2: It seems to me if you go into election day

1147
01:04:10,040 --> 01:04:12,520
Speaker 2: and the Democrats have less than a five point lead,

1148
01:04:12,520 --> 01:04:13,640
Speaker 2: they're going to be in trouble here.

1149
01:04:15,160 --> 01:04:17,240
Speaker 4: You're exactly right, Scott. You and I have been around

1150
01:04:17,280 --> 01:04:20,200
Speaker 4: campaigns a long time, you know. I remember one of

1151
01:04:20,200 --> 01:04:22,440
Speaker 4: the first lessons I learned what was conventional wisdom is

1152
01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:26,919
Speaker 4: if the Democrats generic ballot is six points or more,

1153
01:04:27,680 --> 01:04:29,680
Speaker 4: you're going to have a tough time. If it's less

1154
01:04:29,720 --> 01:04:35,000
Speaker 4: than six, then it's Republican Disneyland. So you know, that's

1155
01:04:35,080 --> 01:04:37,120
Speaker 4: kind of the dividing line in my mind. And so,

1156
01:04:38,440 --> 01:04:40,680
Speaker 4: and I think it's become even more of the case

1157
01:04:40,840 --> 01:04:44,280
Speaker 4: that a lot of folks don't answer polls, and a

1158
01:04:44,360 --> 01:04:47,200
Speaker 4: lot of conservatives in particular, don't trust these polls. And

1159
01:04:47,320 --> 01:04:50,160
Speaker 4: so if you look at Republican polling, it always lags,

1160
01:04:51,400 --> 01:04:53,160
Speaker 4: and we always do better.

1161
01:04:54,120 --> 01:04:54,280
Speaker 8: You know.

1162
01:04:54,320 --> 01:04:56,000
Speaker 4: And the other thing I would point out is a

1163
01:04:56,040 --> 01:04:58,480
Speaker 4: lot of these polls that Democrats are pointing to are

1164
01:04:58,600 --> 01:05:01,479
Speaker 4: nationwide polls. You know, we don't have a nationwide election

1165
01:05:01,600 --> 01:05:04,520
Speaker 4: this November. We have a district by district election.

1166
01:05:05,080 --> 01:05:05,240
Speaker 12: You know.

1167
01:05:05,440 --> 01:05:07,560
Speaker 4: In some cases we have Senate races which are state

1168
01:05:07,600 --> 01:05:09,880
Speaker 4: by state, but in the case of Congress, these are

1169
01:05:09,920 --> 01:05:16,440
Speaker 4: district by district, community by community fights in these and

1170
01:05:16,760 --> 01:05:20,800
Speaker 4: so we look at polling in these competitive districts, and

1171
01:05:21,240 --> 01:05:23,640
Speaker 4: in the districts that we care about, the numbers are

1172
01:05:23,680 --> 01:05:26,800
Speaker 4: moving our way, and we feel really good about about

1173
01:05:26,840 --> 01:05:27,680
Speaker 4: the Poland.

1174
01:05:28,160 --> 01:05:31,280
Speaker 2: I think the coverage of the midterms is also skewed.

1175
01:05:31,360 --> 01:05:34,280
Speaker 2: It seems to paint a picture that Republicans are on

1176
01:05:34,520 --> 01:05:37,640
Speaker 2: defense everywhere. You mentioned that race in Nevada, which, by

1177
01:05:37,640 --> 01:05:39,680
Speaker 2: the way, we had to buck on the show yesterday,

1178
01:05:40,640 --> 01:05:44,280
Speaker 2: and there are other races main second district, North Carolina's

1179
01:05:44,320 --> 01:05:48,960
Speaker 2: first district, New Mexico to Texas thirty four, Washington three.

1180
01:05:49,040 --> 01:05:51,560
Speaker 3: I won't mention all the names, but here's the one

1181
01:05:51,560 --> 01:05:52,400
Speaker 3: thing they have in common.

1182
01:05:52,520 --> 01:05:56,600
Speaker 2: They all have Democratic incumbents or Democrat held seats today,

1183
01:05:56,960 --> 01:06:00,760
Speaker 2: and in my opinion, Republicans are on offense in all

1184
01:06:00,840 --> 01:06:03,080
Speaker 2: those districts, and so I think the coverage this year

1185
01:06:03,160 --> 01:06:05,320
Speaker 2: is going to be, Oh, Republicans are on defense here,

1186
01:06:05,400 --> 01:06:08,080
Speaker 2: but you all have actually put the Republican Party on

1187
01:06:08,200 --> 01:06:10,240
Speaker 2: offense in a number of districts, which is a testament

1188
01:06:10,280 --> 01:06:14,440
Speaker 2: to your leadership at the NRCC and candidate recruitment. That's

1189
01:06:14,560 --> 01:06:18,200
Speaker 2: Richard Hudson, Congressman from North Carolina, chairman of the National

1190
01:06:18,240 --> 01:06:21,880
Speaker 2: Republican Congressional Campaign Committee. Mister chairman, You've got a huge

1191
01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:24,200
Speaker 2: job ahead of you and we wish you the best

1192
01:06:24,240 --> 01:06:27,480
Speaker 2: of luck saving the country from the Communists this November,

1193
01:06:27,920 --> 01:06:31,200
Speaker 2: and we will talk to you throughout the November cycle.

1194
01:06:31,280 --> 01:06:33,120
Speaker 3: Thanks for joining us today. We got to take a break.

1195
01:06:33,200 --> 01:06:35,040
Speaker 3: More to come on the Scott Jennings Show right after this.

1196
01:06:35,480 --> 01:06:38,440
Speaker 7: If the leftists haven't had enough yet, there's more. This

1197
01:06:38,760 --> 01:06:41,240
Speaker 7: is the Scott Jenning Show, all right.

1198
01:06:41,400 --> 01:06:44,200
Speaker 2: Rounding out the show here on Thursday, July thirtieth, and

1199
01:06:44,400 --> 01:06:46,280
Speaker 2: rounding out my week. I'm going to take a few

1200
01:06:46,360 --> 01:06:50,480
Speaker 2: days off after today. The world travels of Scott Jennings

1201
01:06:51,080 --> 01:06:53,920
Speaker 2: have worn out. Scott Jennings, I got to get some

1202
01:06:54,480 --> 01:06:57,320
Speaker 2: vacation before the summer ends. So we're going to round

1203
01:06:57,320 --> 01:06:59,160
Speaker 2: out today, take a couple of days off, and get

1204
01:06:59,240 --> 01:07:01,280
Speaker 2: back in here next week. By the way, in the

1205
01:07:01,360 --> 01:07:04,960
Speaker 2: United States Senate, just a few minutes ago, along party

1206
01:07:05,040 --> 01:07:09,600
Speaker 2: lines fifty to forty seven, a resolution has passed allowing

1207
01:07:09,720 --> 01:07:14,240
Speaker 2: for seventy four of the President's nominations to move forward,

1208
01:07:14,320 --> 01:07:20,000
Speaker 2: including TSA and FEMA administrators, the US Archivist, White House

1209
01:07:20,080 --> 01:07:25,400
Speaker 2: Budget Deputy Director, and the US Ambassador to Australia. This

1210
01:07:25,600 --> 01:07:28,600
Speaker 2: is sort of an n block set of nominations that's

1211
01:07:28,640 --> 01:07:30,720
Speaker 2: going to move forward. So some folks the President has

1212
01:07:30,760 --> 01:07:34,120
Speaker 2: sent up will eventually very near future be in their

1213
01:07:34,280 --> 01:07:35,600
Speaker 2: offices in Washington.

1214
01:07:35,640 --> 01:07:37,560
Speaker 3: That'll be good news. For those people.

1215
01:07:37,960 --> 01:07:40,120
Speaker 2: We've been talking on the show today. We've had some

1216
01:07:40,200 --> 01:07:44,080
Speaker 2: polling and some analysis today about how the Democratic Party

1217
01:07:44,640 --> 01:07:48,080
Speaker 2: is currently being taken over by In his entrall to

1218
01:07:48,200 --> 01:07:51,520
Speaker 2: the socialists, these communists, these Marxists. And I was scanning

1219
01:07:51,560 --> 01:07:54,680
Speaker 2: the morning headlines and one jumped out at me. The

1220
01:07:54,760 --> 01:08:01,520
Speaker 2: headline was Barack Obama fathered Today's Marxist Democrat Party, and

1221
01:08:01,640 --> 01:08:04,320
Speaker 2: I thought I'd dial up the author for a little conversation.

1222
01:08:04,480 --> 01:08:08,040
Speaker 2: His name is Joshua Montington. He writes for The Federalist.

1223
01:08:08,120 --> 01:08:11,600
Speaker 2: That's where you can find this piece. He joins us live, Joshua,

1224
01:08:11,680 --> 01:08:13,880
Speaker 2: thanks for coming into the show here. Just talk to

1225
01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:18,320
Speaker 2: us about your piece. It's your contention that Obama is

1226
01:08:18,360 --> 01:08:22,080
Speaker 2: a direct line the father of all this socialism and

1227
01:08:22,080 --> 01:08:23,000
Speaker 2: the Democratic Party.

1228
01:08:23,120 --> 01:08:26,679
Speaker 3: Give us your theory, thanks, Scott.

1229
01:08:27,520 --> 01:08:30,519
Speaker 15: Yeah, so last week there was this moment where Obama

1230
01:08:30,800 --> 01:08:34,519
Speaker 15: was to get in a photo with WNBA superstar Caitlin

1231
01:08:34,560 --> 01:08:37,280
Speaker 15: Clark and telling her, you know, you're fantastic, don't worry

1232
01:08:37,320 --> 01:08:41,240
Speaker 15: about all this nonsense, you know, related to some controversy

1233
01:08:41,280 --> 01:08:44,519
Speaker 15: over no calls where Caitlin Clark appears to get fouled

1234
01:08:44,640 --> 01:08:48,680
Speaker 15: and nothing happens, and that happened in the wake of

1235
01:08:48,720 --> 01:08:52,280
Speaker 15: a Usada Today op ed where the author basically accused

1236
01:08:52,320 --> 01:08:55,639
Speaker 15: Caitlin of drumming up some sort of KKK style violence

1237
01:08:55,720 --> 01:08:57,800
Speaker 15: because she complains when the ref doesn't.

1238
01:08:57,840 --> 01:08:58,400
Speaker 10: Call a foul.

1239
01:08:58,800 --> 01:09:01,280
Speaker 15: So people online were saying, oh, look at Barack you

1240
01:09:01,520 --> 01:09:04,240
Speaker 15: he's so moderate, and I argue in the piece, no,

1241
01:09:04,960 --> 01:09:08,560
Speaker 15: Barack Obama is no moderate. He's the one who pioneered

1242
01:09:08,560 --> 01:09:11,280
Speaker 15: the radicalism that we see in the Democrat Party. And

1243
01:09:11,360 --> 01:09:14,400
Speaker 15: it also ties in with this question is are the

1244
01:09:14,479 --> 01:09:18,280
Speaker 15: DSA socialists like zorroon Mondani, are they the logical next

1245
01:09:18,360 --> 01:09:22,200
Speaker 15: step in the radicalism of the Democrat Party or are

1246
01:09:22,240 --> 01:09:25,040
Speaker 15: they hijacking the party? And I argue that they're just

1247
01:09:25,200 --> 01:09:29,320
Speaker 15: walking the footsteps of Barack Obama's radicalism. They're a fulfillment

1248
01:09:29,760 --> 01:09:31,479
Speaker 15: of the trend that he started.

1249
01:09:32,800 --> 01:09:37,680
Speaker 2: What do you think Obama's most radical legacy actually is?

1250
01:09:37,760 --> 01:09:39,519
Speaker 2: Some people point to him and say, you know, for

1251
01:09:39,640 --> 01:09:42,840
Speaker 2: his time, he actually did have more moderate positions in

1252
01:09:42,920 --> 01:09:46,800
Speaker 2: the moderate than the modern Democrats. But I don't think

1253
01:09:46,840 --> 01:09:49,960
Speaker 2: you agree with that. What is the most radical legacy

1254
01:09:50,000 --> 01:09:51,479
Speaker 2: as we think back on his two terms?

1255
01:09:53,360 --> 01:09:55,840
Speaker 15: Yeah, Well, there's a couple of competing options. One would

1256
01:09:55,880 --> 01:10:01,200
Speaker 15: be Obamacare, right, the supposedly Affordable Care Act, and we

1257
01:10:01,280 --> 01:10:03,800
Speaker 15: were told you won't lose your doctor, won't add a

1258
01:10:03,920 --> 01:10:05,400
Speaker 15: dime to the national debt.

1259
01:10:05,720 --> 01:10:06,439
Speaker 9: I don't know about you.

1260
01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:11,040
Speaker 15: My doctor stopped taking health insurance because of all the

1261
01:10:11,160 --> 01:10:14,880
Speaker 15: government takeover of the healthcare insurance industry, the changes. He

1262
01:10:15,040 --> 01:10:18,080
Speaker 15: wasn't allowed to do medicine the way he had done

1263
01:10:18,080 --> 01:10:22,720
Speaker 15: it before. Premiums have nearly doubled since the institution of

1264
01:10:22,760 --> 01:10:23,960
Speaker 15: the Affordable Care Act, So.

1265
01:10:24,040 --> 01:10:24,800
Speaker 9: That's a competitor.

1266
01:10:24,880 --> 01:10:26,439
Speaker 15: But I would argue, if you're going to look at

1267
01:10:26,520 --> 01:10:31,799
Speaker 15: number one, it's the normalization of the oppressor versus oppressed matrix.

1268
01:10:32,439 --> 01:10:35,160
Speaker 15: And way before we had the summer of violence in

1269
01:10:35,240 --> 01:10:39,360
Speaker 15: twenty twenty, way before we had this nationwide black Lives

1270
01:10:39,439 --> 01:10:44,320
Speaker 15: Matter movement, you saw Obama inserting himself into local interactions,

1271
01:10:44,360 --> 01:10:48,840
Speaker 15: whether it was Ferguson, Missouri, where he implied that maybe

1272
01:10:48,880 --> 01:10:51,759
Speaker 15: the police had acted incorrectly in shooting Michael Brown.

1273
01:10:51,800 --> 01:10:54,240
Speaker 9: He acted like there was a racial component.

1274
01:10:54,560 --> 01:10:58,679
Speaker 15: The same thing with the shooting of Treyvon martinted himself

1275
01:10:58,720 --> 01:11:01,280
Speaker 15: into a situation where his got arrested by the police

1276
01:11:01,280 --> 01:11:04,320
Speaker 15: because they mistakenly thought he was breaking in made it

1277
01:11:04,400 --> 01:11:07,360
Speaker 15: sound like was a racial situation, even though he didn't

1278
01:11:07,400 --> 01:11:10,400
Speaker 15: have all the facts. And I'd say the normalization of

1279
01:11:10,439 --> 01:11:14,479
Speaker 15: the Marxist oppressor versus oppress matrix is probably his biggest

1280
01:11:14,840 --> 01:11:16,120
Speaker 15: and most damaging legacy.

1281
01:11:17,439 --> 01:11:18,639
Speaker 3: I couldn't agree with you more.

1282
01:11:18,800 --> 01:11:21,640
Speaker 2: I think that way you've just described it, that is

1283
01:11:21,760 --> 01:11:26,360
Speaker 2: the basic operating DNA of the modern Democratic Party. It's

1284
01:11:26,400 --> 01:11:30,599
Speaker 2: what's fueling all these socialists in these primaries. And I'll

1285
01:11:30,680 --> 01:11:33,040
Speaker 2: just tack one more thing onto it, this concept that

1286
01:11:33,160 --> 01:11:35,400
Speaker 2: somehow the United States of America is rotten at its

1287
01:11:35,439 --> 01:11:37,519
Speaker 2: core and that needs to be ripped out, root and branch,

1288
01:11:37,600 --> 01:11:40,839
Speaker 2: because inherent to America is that the people who founded

1289
01:11:40,960 --> 01:11:44,120
Speaker 2: or run America are themselves the oppressors.

1290
01:11:44,160 --> 01:11:46,120
Speaker 3: I think you've got it just right. The author is

1291
01:11:46,280 --> 01:11:47,840
Speaker 3: Joshua Montington.

1292
01:11:48,160 --> 01:11:50,719
Speaker 2: He's got a piece in the Federalist dot com today

1293
01:11:50,920 --> 01:11:56,400
Speaker 2: called Barack Obama father Today's Marxist Democrat Party. Joshua, thanks
