Speaker 2: news roundup today, my friend, the editor in chief of

16
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 2: bright Bart News and my colleague here at Salem Radio,

17

Speaker 2: Alex Marlow, is here. Alex, Welcome back to the Scott

18

Speaker 2: Jennings Show.

19
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 3: Scott, it was a rare pleasure to get you to

20
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 3: hear your end of your show prep because in two

21
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 3: occasions you said, then we're gonna do marijuana, and I'm

22
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 3: nothing that's about discussing marijuana and you know, limiting some

23
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,559
Speaker 3: sort of a the way we treat marijuana in our country,

24
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 3: which I believe you know personally, marijuana is kind of

25
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 3: a problem out here in California. It's not great. It's

26
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 3: not going great. Yeahs with marijuana out here. Well, I

27
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 3: was hilarious. I wish I got that dropped for radio.

28
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 2: I know, I want to get to that in just

29
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 2: a moment, because the President just made an announcement about

30
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 2: this in the Oval Office, So let's let's save that

31
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 2: for a couple of minutes. I do want to tell

32
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 2: the audience we Alex and Scott broke a little news

33
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:56,200

Speaker 2: on Salem Radio. You're going to take noon to one.

36
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 2: I'm going to expand this show and do one to

37
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 2: three two hours every day. This has been one of

38
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 2: the most historic slots and conservative news talk radio from

39
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,720

Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you, Scott, and congratulations to all your success.

45
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 3: I know your show is a breakout hit this year,

46
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 3: and I don't think people have all the details, but

47
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 3: it's a very, very hot property, your show. It makes

48
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 3: sense to have you anchor a couple hours, and I'm

49
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 3: just really happy I get to precede you. It is

50
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 3: such a storage slot. I'll tell you. It's nine am

51
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 3: out where I'm at on the West Coast, and every

52
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 3: nine am whenever I ever since I got out of

53
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 3: high school, I would have that radio on and I

54
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,519
Speaker 3: would hear the Hans Zimmer Gladiator soundtrack come up. And

55
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 3: it was Dennis Prager's show, and then it became The

56
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 3: Charlie Kirkshow. I was a weekly guest on that show.

57
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 3: So American Icon held down that slot, and I'm very

58
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 3: fortunate that I get to speak to the terrific Salem

59
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 3: audience for an hour a day on radio, and I

60
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 3: know you'll get the next hour.

61
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's going to be a lot of fun, and

62
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 2: we've got a huge year coming up with the midterms

63
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 2: and everything President Trump and the administration are doing. So

64
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 2: I'll look forward to doing that alongside you, and I'm

65
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 2: sure we'll make cameos on each other shows and we'll

66
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,359
Speaker 2: do a lot of great work together in twenty twenty six.

67
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 2: Let's do some news right now. Last night, the President

68
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 2: spoke to the nation, and he had a simple message.

69
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 2: Here's the commander in chief.

70
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 4: Good evening, American. Eleven months ago, I inherited a mess,

71
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 4: and I'm fixing it.

72
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 2: Alex, what grade did you give the President for his

73
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 2: speech last night?

74
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 3: I'll give it any minus. I thought attitude wise, I

75
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 3: think it was not his most warm and I think

76
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 3: with the Christmas vibe, I would have liked to have

77
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 3: seen a little more warmth. But I think overall, if

78
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 3: you had read this speech, I think it was pretty great.

79
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 3: I think he was doing a couple of things effectively.

80
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 3: People who had tuned in and there's going to be

81
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 3: a massive audience for such a thing. They're going to

82
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 3: hear all of the accomplishments that he's had, which are stunning,

83
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 3: and we spend very little time talking about that. We

84
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 3: always tend to pick out the one thing, the one

85
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 3: missing tile from the ceiling and complain about that. It's

86
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 3: important to hear all the good things. And he's also

87
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 3: doing something important, which is he's framing up a lot

88
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 3: of the problems that we still face as stuff he inherited,

89
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 3: which is true. It's not just political whining, it's actually true.

90
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 3: And he got that stuff accomplished. And the Hero dividends,

91
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 3: of course, is greated. We should love that too. So overall,

92
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 3: I thought was a good one.

93
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, let me let me focus in on the Hero dividends.

94
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 2: This is a bonus for American soldiers one seven hundred

95
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 2: and seventy six dollars, a widely praised idea. Even Van Jones,

96
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 2: who was sitting next to me at CNN last night,

97
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 2: thought it was good. But on the view today, Alex,

98
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 2: they are big mad. Here's WHOOPI Goldberg.

99
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 5: What he's doing is seems thinking, if I make sure.

100
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 6: That the soldiers have what they need, veil back me

101
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:01,799
Speaker 6: and what I want.

102
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 2: So saying Alex, whoop, he says Trump is bribing the

103
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 2: soldiers with one seven and seventy six dollars. To I

104
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 2: assume what she means is follow illegal orders. Is that

105
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 2: how you took it.

106
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what she's saying. And it's great for her

107
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 3: to say that because the retorts are pretty easy, because

108
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 3: that's all the Democrats do is they would go around

109
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 3: and hand out money to various special interest groups and

110
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 3: lobbying groups and various industries in the consulting class. And

111
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 3: that's how we got the problems he got in this country.

112
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 3: And so if Trump wants to give a little kickback

113
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 3: to the military, no one's going to object to that

114
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 3: at all. But of course that's not what he's doing.

115
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 3: These are the people who are here to keep us

116
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 3: safe and they're all underpaid, and we want to recruit

117
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 3: the best. This is the main point here. We want

118
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 3: to recruit the best, and they feel like your commander

119
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 3: in chief has their back. We're going to be a

120
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 3: safer country. So this is a trap laid by Trump

121
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 3: to get the idiots of the world like Whoopy to

122
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 3: complain about it. And she's obliging to create content for

123
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 3: our shows. And that's terrific.

124
00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 2: Also, as we mentioned at the top of the show,

125
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,559
Speaker 2: President Trump today and just a few minutes ago, making

126
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 2: news in the Oval Office reclassifying marijuana from a Schedule

127
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 2: one to a Schedule three drug. Let's listen to the

128
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 2: President on this announcement today.

129
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 4: I'm pleased to announce that I will be signing an

130
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 4: executive order to reschedule marijuana from a Schedule one to

131
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 4: a Schedule three control substance with legitimate medical uses.

132
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 6: We have people begging for me to do this, people

133
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 6: that are in great pain for decades. This action has

134
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 6: been requested by American patients suffering from extreme pain, incurable diseases,

135
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 6: aggressive cancers, seizure disorders, neurological problems, and more, including numerous

136
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 6: veterans with service related injuries and older Americans who live

137
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 6: with chronic medical problems that severely degrade their quality of life.

138
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 6: And it's so.

139
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 4: Really, I mean, just can't tell you.

140
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 7: I think I probably have received more phone calls on

141
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 7: this on doing what we're doing. I don't think I

142
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 7: received any calls on the other side of it. But

143
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 7: hopefully this reclassification, which by the way, polls at eighty

144
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 7: two percent, will help many of those patients live a.

145
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: Far better life.

146
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 2: Trump the popularist here. Going to the polls, he says

147
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 2: eighty percent of Americans agree. He did get a few calls.

148
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 2: On the other side of it, There are at least

149
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 2: twenty four Republican lawmakers, including Pete Sessions of Texas and

150
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 2: House Freedom Caucus Chairman Andy Harris of Maryland, who encouraged

151
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 2: the President not to do this. Alex how this news

152
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 2: hit you today?

153
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was happy to see that he's not classifying

154
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 3: it as a recreational drug. He's not. He's not sanctioning

155
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 3: it as a recreational drug, which is good. We've had

156
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 3: this experiment. California's been the guinea pig where I live,

157
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 3: where they've basically went from it was control, but you

158
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 3: could get it if you really want to, and that's

159
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 3: kind of going okay, and then it became legal, and

160
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 3: now there's all of these people just bumping along the

161
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 3: sidewalk and they smells like pot and neverwhere you go

162
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 3: smells like pot and can't take the family places. It's

163
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 3: been horrible. I think it's really cut a lot of

164
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 3: people's spirit out. We're talking about it from a medical perspective,

165
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 3: so that maybe they're alternatives to the giant pharmaceutical companies

166
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 3: that repulse everyone. I can live with that, but I

167
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 3: don't love the inching towards normalization and legalization and marijuana

168
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 3: because I just don't think it's very good for the

169
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 3: human spirit. But technically, the way he's describing it's scott.

170
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 3: I haven't had the chance to parse it too much.

171
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 3: It sounds okay. What was your take.

172
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 2: Well, I'm a little worried about this one. I think

173
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 2: the president was elected in part because people want national renewal,

174
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 2: and I think marijuana and the legalization of it has

175
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 2: been the opposite of that, to be honest, and I

176
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 2: don't like the message that it sends to children and

177
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 2: others that hey, this is okay. I do want to

178
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 2: parse it myself because it is breaking news, and I'm

179
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 2: in agreement with you that if it were recreational, that

180
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 2: would be a definite step in the wrong direction. Let's

181
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 2: pick it up on the other side. Alex Marlowe is

182
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 2: my guest. I want to talk to you about Relief Factor.

183
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 2: Before we go to break Relief Factor, I'm just going

184
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 2: to give you my personal experience. I've been using Relief

185
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 2: Factors since I started with this radio show in the

186
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 2: summer because they've been a great sponsor, and they said

187
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 2: we want you to use it because we want you

188
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 2: to give your authentic views on the air about it.

189
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 2: I said, I'll do it. I've had a great experience

190
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 2: with it. You know, I got a little knee issue.

191
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,199
Speaker 2: My right knee has always bothered me a little. I

192
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 2: had some knee surgery a while back. I fly on airplanes.

193
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 2: My back bothers me a little bit from it because

194
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 2: not all these seats are great. I hate to tell you,

195
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 2: but Relief Factor I got it. I'm just saying, joints,

196
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 2: little aches and pains seems to be better. My dad

197
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,839
Speaker 2: started using it, and you know he's no spring chicken,

198
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 2: as you know, but he feels great. He's been a

199
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 2: religious user of it. Even my mom is doing it

200
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 2: now because she noticed the change in my dad. So

201
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 2: Jennings household experience pretty good. Here's what you do. Try

202
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,160

204
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 2: four Relief. I think you might like it. It's a

205
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 2: good thing to try. It's a drug free supplement. I

206
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 2: think it could make your life better. When we come

Speaker 2: back more with Alex Marlow. It's Scott Jennings here on

Speaker 2: Kentucky today on Thursday, December the eighteenth, at Scott Jennings

235
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 2: Common Sense for the American People. My special guest today

236
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 2: Alex Marlow, the editor in chief of Breitbart and soon

237
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 2: to be in the new year, the host of the

238
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 2: noon to one hour Eastern here on the Salem Radio Network. Alex,

239
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 2: we were discussing before the break news surrounding the President.

240
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 2: I want to change our attention to news surround funding

241
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 2: the Democrats. Everybody wants to talk about Donald Trump's poll

242
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 2: numbers all the time, but the Democrats are in trouble.

243
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 2: The Quinnipiac poll yesterday had them an eighteen percent approval rating. Alex,

244
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:16,479
Speaker 2: they are down to friends, family, illegals, and health insurance executives.

245
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 2: Let's listen to Harry Inton describe this abysmal Democratic polling

246
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 2: on CNN.

247
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 9: That's right now, yeah, I mean, Democrats, in the minds

248
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 9: of the American public are lower than the dead sea.

249
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 9: What are we talking about here, Well, let's take a

250
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 9: look the net approval rating for Democrats in Congress, u

251
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 9: Saidikate Balwin, the lowest ever. Look at us overall, they

252
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 9: are fifty five points underwater. They're approval rating is south

253
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,839
Speaker 9: of twenty percent. It's even worse when you look at Independence.

254
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,599
Speaker 9: Look at this negative sixty one points. That means that

255
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 9: their approval rating is sixty one points lower.

256
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 2: Than their disapproval rating.

257
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 9: Quinnipiac has been polling this question for the better part

258
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:58,439
Speaker 9: of the twenty first century. They have never found Democrats,

259
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 9: at least those in Congress, and where shape than they are.

260
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 2: Alex, Why are the Democrats suffering? So if all this

261
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 2: relentless negative coverage of Trump out there is working, why

262
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 2: aren't the Democrats benefiting from this?

263
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 3: Alex Well, it's because there's not enough criminals and there's

264
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 3: not enough transgenders in the country to get them enough

265
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 3: votes they need, because those are the only two groups

266
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,559
Speaker 3: that they seem to be directing policy towards, and the

267
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 3: word is getting out. Americans know that any affordability issues

268
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 3: I need to pain their feeling is largely due to

269
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 3: Democrat policies. They create, the open border crisis, they create

270
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:30,839
Speaker 3: the Biden inflation, and they're not going to be able

271
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 3: to run from that. They're going to have to put

272
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 3: forward a agenda that actually will appeal to the American

273
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 3: public and not just complain about things. But instead they're

274
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 3: all running for president as far left as possible, it

275
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 3: seems like, and it's clearly not working for them.

276
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 2: You know, there's another poll number that I saw pop

277
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 2: up here today. I had to do with JD. Vance,

278
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:54,239
Speaker 2: the Emerson Poll. They've got JD. Vance in positive territory

279
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 2: forty six percent faye versus forty one percent unfaithed. He

280
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 2: was plus five and far more popular in their survey

281
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 2: than California Governor Gavin Newsom and Vance I think led

282
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,199
Speaker 2: Newsom on a head to head. What do you make

283
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 2: of that? Why is Vance resonating out there?

284
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 5: He?

285
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 2: I mean, just fave n fave. He's one of the

286
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,319
Speaker 2: more popular politicians in the country.

287
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 8: Yeah.

288
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 3: One of the things about Vance, who have gotten to

289
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 3: know for a long time, we were friends even before

290
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 3: he ran for Senate in Ohio. The more you get

291
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 3: to know him, the more you're impressed by him, because

292
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 3: he's incredibly smart, and incredibly thoughtful and very appealing. The

293
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 3: weird attack on him by Tim Tim Walls is all

294
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 3: based on the fact that Vance is actually quite a

295
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 3: normal guy. He's just a guy who's a wild overachiever,

296
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 3: very ambitious, but he's very likable. Gavin Newsom, who I've

297
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 3: followed since I was a teenager out here in California,

298
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 3: he gets less likable the more you get to know

299
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 3: him and seems less authentic.

300
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 2: Yeah. One of the more likable Democrats in the survey

301
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 2: that Emerson released was Josh Shapiro, the governor of Pennsylvania.

302
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 2: He was six points above water. But most of these

303
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 2: people are in rough shape here. Newsom was minus eleven

304
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 2: AOC minus twelve or on Mom Donnie minus sixteen. I'll

305
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 2: tell you who was in a really rough shape, really

306
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 2: rough shape. Marjorie Taylor Green. She's now at negative thirty

307
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 2: three underwater on her personal image. Has Marjorie Taylor Green's

308
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 2: days as a prominent politician in the United States have

309
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 2: they come to an end alex as she destroyed herself

310
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 2: and her crusade against Donald Trump, Yeah, I think so.

311
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 3: First of all, quick note on Shapiro, he can't even

312
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 3: be on the ticket, probably because for the Democrats, because

313
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 3: he's Jewish and they have such a wild anti Semitic

314
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 3: base that they're going to have to contend with in

315
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 3: a primary. But with Marjorie Taylor Green, she just lit

316
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 3: herself on fire, timing that retirement to slim our majority

317
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 3: in the Congress writes for when she gets her pension.

318
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 3: It just is. It was such a horrific move for

319
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 3: her brand and her politically. I'm not a huge fan

320
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 3: of hers, but I would have never counseled anyone to

321
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 3: do something like that. It was egregious and people knew it.

322
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, she Look, you go back to what happened. She

323
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 2: wanted to run statewide in Georgia. The Trump political operations

324
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 2: sold her a poll, showed her a pole, not sold

325
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 2: showed her a poll, and it was going to be

326
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 2: a disaster. And ever since that moment, she has been

327
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 2: an ardent opponent of the President's policies, whether it's been

328
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 2: on immigration or how he's handled foreign affairs, you name it,

329
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 2: and she's just become a complete opposite of whatever Trump

330
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 2: wants to do. And in the Republican Party, that's not

331
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 2: gonna get you very far. Alex Marlow, thank you for

Speaker 2: and conservative news talk radio going strong. There's a long

340
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 2: history of this and I think people are gonna love it.

341
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 2: Thanks for being with me today, Alex.

342
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 3: So thank you, Scott. I know you'll be in my

343
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 3: podcast next week. We just booked that, so we'll be

344
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 3: talking about the book. Can't wait for that.

345
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 2: All right, that's Alex Marlow from Sale. I'm in Bright Bar.

346
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 2: Coming up. James Langford, Senator from Oklahoma, is here. We'll

347
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,640
Speaker 2: talk about what's happening in Washington. It's common sense here

348
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:19,360
Speaker 2: on the Salem Radio Network line an Angel Tree Christmas

349
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 2: campaign with our friends at the nonprofit Prison Fellowship. You know,

350
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 2: there are literally thousands of children all over America who

351
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 2: have a mom or a dad in prison. That means

352
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 2: they won't see their parent on Christmas. That's why Angel

353
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,639
Speaker 2: Tree is so important. You can put smiles on the

354
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 2: faces of children who through no fault of their own,

355
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 2: are often struggling at a time of year that's supposed

356
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 2: to be full of joy. There is an Angeltree banner

357
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 2: up at Scott Jennings Show dot com. You can make

358
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,919
Speaker 2: a donation right there. It only takes thirty dollars to

359
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 2: bless a child who will receive a special present, a

360
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 2: gospel message, and a personal note from their incarcerated parent. Again,

361
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,640
Speaker 2: the cost to help bless one child with Angel Tree

362
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 2: is only thirty dollars, less than a pizza and a

363
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 2: Diet Coke somewhere. Or if you're feeling generous, one hundred

364
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 2: and fifty dollar doll will bless five children of prisoners

365

Speaker 2: just a moment our special conversation today US Senator James

372
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 2: Langford of the great State of Oklahoma. He'll be with

373
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 2: us in just a moment to react to the news

374
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:33,400
Speaker 2: of the day. But first, it is seven days until Christmas,

375
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 2: and I just want to give you all a little

376
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 2: update on the angel Tree campaign. Thanks to this audience

377
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 2: and all of your generosity, we've blessed hundreds of kids who,

378
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 2: through no fault of their own, won't be with mom

379
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,120
Speaker 2: or dad on Christmas because they've got one or both

380
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 2: parents in prison. But you all have stepped up. Hundreds

381
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:56,439
Speaker 2: of children through the Angel Tree program are going to

382
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,400
Speaker 2: get a gift. They're going to get a letter from

383
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 2: mom or dad and they're going to get a Bible

384
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 2: thirty dollars. That's what that does for them, and you

385
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 2: all are doing it. You're answering the call. I made

386
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 2: a donation at the beginning of the campaign and I'm

387
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 2: going to do another one today. And I want you

388
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 2: to hear from someone. This is Renee. She was a parent.

389
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 2: She missed out on being with her own daughter because

390
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 2: she was in prison. Let's hear from Renee.

391
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 5: While I was there in prison, I had to spend

392
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 5: three years apart from my child for my sentence. And

393
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 5: during that time, of course, she began to grow and

394
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 5: Christmas time came along. I signed up for angel Tree,

395
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 5: and once she was able to start receiving gifts. You know,

396
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 5: Angel Tree would show up like I was right there

397
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 5: with her for Christmas, and it kept us connected. So

398
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 5: that was how I got started with Angel Tree.

399
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,639
Speaker 2: It's hard for me to imagine any better way to

400
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 2: celebrate the Christmas season and engage in some Christmas spirit

401
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 2: than by helping a child who, at a time of

402
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 2: year when most children are happy and excited and looking

403
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 2: forward to something, probably live in a state of anxiety

404
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 2: because their parents are not with them, because they're in prison,

405
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:05,159
Speaker 2: and their life frankly is a little bit in flux.

406
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:06,879
Speaker 2: But you can make it better. All you got to

407
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 2: do is call this number eight eight eight two O

408
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,080

00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,120
Speaker 2: can help these kids. Thirty dollars helps one, one hundred

413
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,679
Speaker 2: and fifty dollars helps five. I'd be honored if you

414
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 2: join me. I made one early, I'm going to do

415
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 2: one today as well. On the line with a Senator

416
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 2: James Lankford from the great State of Oklahoma is here.

417
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 2: He's on the Finance, Homeland, Security, and Intelligence Committees, one

418
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 2: of the most influential figures in the national security space

419
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 2: in Washington. Senator Lankford, Welcome to the Scott Jenny Show.

420
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 1: Hey, Glad, it is with you, Scott Yep.

421
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,440
Speaker 2: I want to get a little reaction to you from

422
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 2: some breaking news today. HHS Secretary RFK Junior and doctor

423
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 2: Oz made an announcement that they are going to bar

424
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 2: hospitals from performing sex rejecting procedures on children. Let's hear

425
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 2: from doctor Oz and they'll get your reaction.

426
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 8: It's the first we're announcing a notice of proposed rulemaking

427
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 8: that ends ends taxpayer funding of sex rejecting procedures for

428
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,439
Speaker 8: children in Medicaid and ship full stop.

429
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 2: Senator Lankfort, your reaction to today's announcement.

430
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:22,919
Speaker 10: Yeah, I was actually on the front row when that

431
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 10: announcement was made, and my reaction was to just cheer

432
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,159
Speaker 10: and clap because it's about time that the United States,

433
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,880
Speaker 10: as crazy as this sounds, catches up with Europe. Europe

434
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 10: has studied this issue for years about are we going

435
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 10: to allow sex change operations on minors? And they determine

436
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 10: know that it's terrible for just the physical growth of

437
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 10: the individual is unknown. What happens to them bone density,

438
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 10: heart issues, blood issues. As crazy as it sounds, some

439
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 10: people that are twelve years years old change their mind

440
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,879
Speaker 10: when they're twenty years old, and so to be able

441
00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 10: to permanently make a change in a twelve thirty fourteen

442
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:04,679
Speaker 10: year old kid without knowing all the medical consequences for

443
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:06,919
Speaker 10: that in the future, in saying when they're twenty and

444
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 10: twenty five year old, you can't change your mind again,

445
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 10: is absolutely awful. I can't believe we ever did that

446
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 10: to kids. And the first thing that came out today

447
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 10: is this overwhelming sense that there will be a day

448
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 10: that America will look back on this dark part of

449
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:26,120
Speaker 10: history when we had sex change operations on children, and

450
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 10: we as a nation will be hopefully horrified what was

451
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 10: allowed to occur. But thankfully it ends today.

452
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, some moral clarity and some common sense from the

453
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 2: Trump administration. And this was a huge issue in the

454
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 2: twenty four campaign. I mean, there was a clear bright

455
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 2: line between Trump and Harris and the Democrats on this,

456
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 2: and it was always inconceivable to me why they wanted

457
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 2: to die on that hill. I mean, we sometimes I

458
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 2: called it an eighty twenty issue, but it's like a

459
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 2: ninety five to five issue. And yet you still have

460
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:58,360
Speaker 2: Democrats out there who are all in on this transgender

461
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 2: ideology cult. And not only is it terrible in the

462
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 2: ways you've described it, but you've see people out here

463
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,639
Speaker 2: who fall into this lifestyle and they wind up with

464
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 2: a lot of terrible life outcomes. So good for the

465
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 2: Trump administration today on that. Let's stay with healthcare. Obviously,

466
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 2: you all in Congress are dealing with this Obamacare subsidy issue,

467
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 2: and it looks like Congress is going to go home

468
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 2: without having done anything on that. The yet competing proposals

469
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 2: in the Senate, one from the Republicans, one from the

470
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 2: Democrats that both failed on the Senate floor. Last night,

471
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 2: the House Republicans voted on a healthcare bill that they

472
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 2: were able to pass. I doubt that we'll have the

473
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 2: votes in the Senate. Where do we go from here

474
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 2: on the issue of healthcare and what's going to happen

475
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 2: on the Obamacare subsidy issue.

476
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:44,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's unknown where this goes in the future.

477
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,439
Speaker 10: Democrats put up a proposal to say, hey, we just

478
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 10: want to continue to give subsidies. Republicans said, hey, we

479
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 10: don't want to fund not only fund abortions, which is

480
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 10: what the Democrat proposal was doing, using taxpayer dollars to

481
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 10: be able to subsidize abortions, but there's also a tremendous

482
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,120
Speaker 10: a fraud and it's uncapped. Literally, you could make half

483
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 10: a million dollars a year and still get subsidies from

484
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 10: your taxpayer. So you've got somebody's making seventy thousand dollars

485
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 10: a year paying their own insurant and also helping pay

486
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 10: for their neighbor across town that makes half a million

487
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,400
Speaker 10: dollars in the Obamacare subsidies. Because of the way Democrats

488
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 10: shaped it, they want Democrats want to keep that going.

489
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 1: We've said absolutely not.

490
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 10: Now it's a matter of saying, how can we actually

491
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,919
Speaker 10: find a common ground area that deals with a fairly

492
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 10: small group of people in a nation of three hundred

493
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 10: and forty million people, AT's say, where you've got about

494
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:40,160
Speaker 10: two million people that this really does effect.

495
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:41,200
Speaker 1: In a very severe way.

496
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 10: Where they are in the Obamacare marketplace, they're above four

497
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 10: hundred percent of poverty, and their rates are going from

498
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 10: let's say sixty or seventy dollars to two thousand dollars

499
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,399
Speaker 10: a month, and they're saying, Hey, I'm just not prepared

500
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 10: for that. We're trying to figure out how to be

501
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,679
Speaker 10: able to give them some greater flexibility. We'd like to

502
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 10: just as conservatives give some options. Obamacare took options away

503
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 10: from them where they couldn't choose anything other than Obamacare.

504
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 10: We'd like to give them some options where they actually

505
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 10: can choose other alternatives that are cheaper.

506
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 2: Do you like the idea floated out by Senator Cassidy

507
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 2: and talked about by the President of Health Savings Accounts

508
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 2: where if we're going to spend money, we just give

509
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,120
Speaker 2: it directly to the patients and bypass the insurance companies.

510
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 10: That is so much better, But you still want to

511
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,399
Speaker 10: be able to have a targeted number of people on it.

512
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 10: Democrats are always looking for who else they can subsidize

513
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 10: on it. I don't want to get into that game

514
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 10: where we're finding how many people we can subsidize, when again,

515
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 10: you've got somebody right down the street that's paying their

516
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 10: own bill that's exactly makes exactly the same amount of money.

517
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 10: The best thing that we can do is, though, is

518
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 10: to be able to give people and individuals control over

519
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 10: their own healthcare decisions rather than having some system that's

520
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 10: centralized that government that actually controls. That's something buil Cassie

521
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 10: has been very strong on. That's something I'm very consistent on.

522
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 10: Let's give people the ability to be able to choose

523
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 10: their healthcare coverage and their health care decisions. What the

524
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,160
Speaker 10: Cassidy Proposa does both the health savings accounts and what's

525
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 10: called cost sharing reductions of their whole thing. But it's

526
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 10: really focused in on giving people the power over their healthcare.

527
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 2: Let's move on to foreign affairs. The issue of Venezuela

528
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 2: still hanging out there. The President has ordered a blockade

529
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:21,640
Speaker 2: around Venezuela. We're obviously sinking these narco terror boats both

530
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,919
Speaker 2: around Venezuela and now in the Eastern Pacific. Let me

531
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:30,160
Speaker 2: start here. You have received classified briefings from Secretary Rubio

532
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 2: and Secretary heg Seth. You know what they know now,

533
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:35,880
Speaker 2: and I know there are things you can't tell us

534
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 2: because of the classified nature of it. Just for the record,

535
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 2: are you satisfied with the level of transparency and the

536
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 2: level of knowledge that you're getting from the administration about

537
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 2: our military activities in and around Venezuela.

538
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 10: I am actually, and let me tell you a couple

539
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 10: of reasons why they're using the exact same process for

540
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:57,160
Speaker 10: choosing targets that President Obama did, that President Trump did

541
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 10: during his first turn, the President Biden did. When we're

542
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 10: dealing with terrorists in the Middle East. For some reason,

543
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,400
Speaker 10: if you're playing to attack the United States and kill

544
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 10: Americans and you're an Islamic terrorists on it, then they

545
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 10: want to have one focus. And it's a completely different

546
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 10: thing if you want to be able to bring drugs.

547
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 10: They're going to kill one hundred thousand Americans when they

548
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 10: get to.

549
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:19,719
Speaker 1: The United States.

550
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 10: Both of them have been declared designate terrorist organizations. It's

551
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 10: the same process that goes to the same legal and

552
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 10: the left wing media wants to make this sound like

553
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 10: this is just a cowboy operation where they're deciding who

554
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 10: they're going to shoot randomly on it that's out in

555
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 10: the Pacific or in the Caribbean. There are literally attorneys

556
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 10: at every single decision point in it determining what is

557
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,120
Speaker 10: a legal standard here, what have we achieved?

558
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 1: And they're checking the boxes on all the criteria through it.

559
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 10: So no, there's a lot that goes into this and

560
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,639
Speaker 10: to making every decision. It's a serious decision when you

561
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 10: take action to take a human life, regardless of who

562
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,119
Speaker 10: they are, where they're a drug trafficker, where you're or

563
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 10: anyone else on it on death row. But it's a

564
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 10: serious decision. They're doing the process it needs to be

565
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:06,120
Speaker 10: done to do it right.

566
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 2: Do you believe that it is our policy here in

567
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 2: the United States to enforce regime change in Venezuela? Do

568
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 2: you think the current activities will be enough to bring

569
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 2: it about? And if it takes something more, if it

570
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:23,400
Speaker 2: takes a little more military action, is that something the

571
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 2: Trump administration is going to have to come back to

572
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 2: Congress and talk to you all about that first.

573
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:30,359
Speaker 10: Well, right now they're trying to figure out how the

574
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 10: Venezuelan people can live free on it. I just remind you,

575
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 10: as you know extremely well in all of your great listeners,

576
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 10: that our government has not recognized Maduro as the legitimate leader.

577
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 10: Neither did the Biden administration recognize Maduro as the legitimate leader.

578
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 10: He has propped up by doing illegal oil sales and

579
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 10: drug sales, and he has oppressed his people, and he

580
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 10: has literally pushed people out that disagreement, either killed them

581
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 10: or pushed them out of the country so that he

582
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 10: can continue to be able to dominate that place. That

583
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 10: is destabilizing for our entire hemisphere when you've got a

584
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 10: country as big as Venezuela then basically causing.

585
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 1: All this chaos that's right there.

586
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 10: So right now, literally the president is enforcing what the

587
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 10: Biden administration was afraid to do. The Biden administration declared

588
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 10: that oil tanker that the President seesed as being illegal

589
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 10: in transferring oil illegally.

590
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 1: They were an.

591
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 10: Oil tanker that was under a different flag, not legally,

592
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 10: had already been sanctioned. President Trump didn't ignore it. He

593
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 10: just imposed it. The oil embargo is not on every

594
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 10: ship leaving Venezuela. It's on sanctioned vessels that are leaving Venezuela.

595
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 10: So literally every one of those votes has already been

596
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 10: sanctioned by the United States. We're just enforcing what our

597
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 10: law is. And so, yes, President's putting pressure on Maduro

598
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 10: in a way that Biden was afraid to do it.

599
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 10: Biden would say that he's an illegitimate government and he's

600
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 10: got all this illegal activity, but would never do anything

601
00:29:58,160 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 10: about it.

602
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 1: Trump's not ignoring the problem.

603
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, it seems to me that having a friendlier government

604
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 2: in Venezuela that's democratically elected, that's aligned with the United

605
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 2: States instead of the current operation which is aligned with Iran,

606
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 2: Russia and China, would be better for things in the

607
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 2: Western Hemisphere. The President did, of course, promise to police

608
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 2: and improve the Western Hemisphere, so I think he's got

609
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 2: popular support on this. That voice you're hearing is Senator

610
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 2: James Langford of the Great State of Oklahoma. We're going

611
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 2: to hold him over through the break. When we come back,

612
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 2: we're going to talk about energy, and we're also going

613
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 2: to talk about anti Semitism and get his thoughts on

614
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 2: some of the recent news on that front. First, a

615
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 2: word from our friends at the International Fellowship of Christians

616
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 2: and Jews. It's winter in Ukraine. It comes early, and

617
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 2: for elderly Jews who live there, like Olga, who is

618
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 2: seventy nine, it can be deadly. She's in a small

619
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 2: village there. There is no indoor plumbing, no bathroom, no

620
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 2: reliable access to heating. Every day she pumps water from

621
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 2: a well. She goes out out into sub zero temperatures

622
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 2: to go to the bathroom. She walks through the bitter

623
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 2: cold to get to an outhouse. She has a meager pension.

624
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 2: It does not cover food, medicine, and heat sufficient to

625
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 2: keep her alive. Poverty threatens to consume and end her life. However,

626
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 2: when all seems lost, Olga and people like Olga can

627
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 2: get a nourishing food box, emergency lighting, and a warm blanket.

628
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 2: This life saving aid comes from the International Fellowship of

629
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 2: Christians in Jews. There are thousands like Olga in Ukraine

630
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 2: and across the former Soviet Union. If you'd like to

631
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 2: learn more and help them face down this terrible winter,

632
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 2: I encourage you to go to URGENTIFCJ dot org. Urgent

633
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 2: IFCJ dot org you can make a big difference for

634
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 2: Olga and other elderly Jews spread across the former Soviet republics.

635
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 2: More with James Langford of Oklahoma. When we come back,

636
00:31:54,480 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 2: it's Scott Jennings on the Salem Radio Network and it

637
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 2: is Thursday, December the eighteenth, Common Sense for the American People.

638
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 2: Scott Jennings is here. Senator James Langford of Oklahoma is

639
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 2: our special guest. Senator, A little bit of a lightning

640
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 2: round here. We've got about five minutes left in the show.

641
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 2: I want to ask you about an issue called de banking.

642
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 2: I know you hear about this from some constituents. We've

643
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 2: got a great sponsor of the show, Americans for Free Markets,

644
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 2: and they are very interested in what the President did

645
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 2: with his executive order to stop this debanking and these

646
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 2: regulators putting pressure on financial institutions. Is Congress considering codifying

647
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 2: that executive order and maybe putting in US law critical

648
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 2: reforms here that would give us more fair and transparent

649
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 2: access to financial services.

650
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 1: Absolutely, that is in consideration.

651
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 10: The chairman of the Banking Committee is actually Senator Timscott

652
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 10: from the great state of South Carolina, and he is

653
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 10: absolutely looking at that trying to.

654
00:32:57,840 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 1: Be able to figure out.

655
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 10: How we can actually get the sixty votes we need

656
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 10: in the Senate and get that codified in the law.

657
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 10: There should not be discrimination against Ncit's an organization based

658
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 10: on how they can bank based on their political views.

659
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:10,959
Speaker 2: You can go to four free markets dot org if

660
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 2: you want to learn more about this four free markets

661
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 2: dot org to learn about the issue of the banking

662
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 2: Your quick reaction to the President's reclassification of marijuana today,

663
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 2: Senator from Schedule one to Schedule three.

664
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 10: Yeah, I agree with the President on a lot of things.

665
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 10: He and I disagree on that one. I happen to

666
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 10: live in the great state of Oklahoma, which we actually

667
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 10: passed medical marijuana in our state less than ten years ago,

668
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 10: and I've seen the effects of it. The youth use

669
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 10: of marijuana in our state has skyrocketed. The health effects

670
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 10: are still not determined. There's a lot of conversation about CBD.

671
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 10: Cbd is the part of the plant that doesn't make

672
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 10: you high. The THCHC does, and so my concern is

673
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 10: they're saying they need more and more access to the CBD.

674
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 10: There's no problem with the CBD portion of that plan,

675
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 10: but I think people are actually trying to get access

676
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 10: to the THC portion of it that does cause the high.

677
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 10: I just don't see how inhaled marijuana smoke and marijuana

678
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 10: gummy bears and all those things. It doesn't make our

679
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:14,840
Speaker 10: families stronger, it doesn't make our streets safer, it doesn't

680
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 10: make our businesses more efficient. And as far as the

681
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,360
Speaker 10: medical research side, there's a lot of conversation about we

682
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 10: want to do more medical research. Actually, in twenty twenty two,

683
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 10: Congress already passed an opening of doing more medical research

684
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 10: on marijuana. It's a plant, so we should do medical research.

685
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:33,280
Speaker 10: We already open that up. But this doesn't just open

686
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:36,400
Speaker 10: that up for that. This is a huge tax windfall

687
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 10: for every marijuana business, and I'm afraid sends the wrong

688
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 10: message to teenagers around the country that the President is

689
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:45,400
Speaker 10: in favor of smoking marijuana, which I know for a

690
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 10: fact he is not.

691
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:49,840
Speaker 2: Let's talk energy, Senator. We have gas prices at a

692
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 2: four year low. In some places, they're getting down to

693
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 2: two dollars, so even a little under that in a

694
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:57,919
Speaker 2: few gas stations out there. How's the energy business going

695
00:34:57,920 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 2: in Oklahoma?

696
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 1: It's going very well.

697
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:02,239
Speaker 10: Let me just tell everybody to move to Oklahoma because

698
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 10: I paid a buck ninety seven last weekend when I

699
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 10: was back home in Oklahoma City for gasoline. So yeah,

700
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:12,360
Speaker 10: we're under two dollars in Oklahoma for gasoline. It is

701
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 10: a huge win for the consumer. It's one of the

702
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 10: things the present has been very focused on is if

703
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 10: you're going to bring down prices, the first way to

704
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 10: do that is to try to get down the cost

705
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 10: of energy and.

706
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:24,280
Speaker 1: Of moving everything.

707
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:27,360
Speaker 10: Everything is based on the price of diesel in gasoline

708
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 10: in the entire country, So it's a win for the consumer.

709
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 2: Let's talk about anti semitism, Senator. We saw the terrible

710
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:37,239
Speaker 2: attack in Australia at Bondai Beach. We've suffered a new

711
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:40,840
Speaker 2: number of attacks in the United States on people outside

712
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:44,319
Speaker 2: of the Israeli embassy college campuses. Those folks over in

713
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 2: Colorado who were burned alive in the United States of America,

714
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 2: are we doing enough to stop anti Semitism? And what's

715
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 2: your reaction to the sort of unfolding debate over these

716
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:56,840
Speaker 2: issues inside the conservative movement.

717
00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:59,360
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's amazing to me that we're having a debate

718
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 10: inside the conservative movement about anti semitism.

719
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:03,840
Speaker 1: This is something you deal with on the left.

720
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 10: And for those folks that are in the quote unquote

721
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 10: new Right, they're really quoting an old wrong here. And

722
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 10: these anti Semitic tropes that are out there. It's the

723
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 10: Jews fault or whatever it may be, or you're just

724
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:18,760
Speaker 10: Israel lovers, or the brain virus or all kinds of things.

725
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:20,719
Speaker 10: It's bizarre to be able to be able to hear

726
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:23,399
Speaker 10: those kind of conversations coming from the right. We've been

727
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 10: very outspoken in the conservative movement to say, hey, we

728
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 10: believe in the rights of every individual to have equal

729
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:31,719
Speaker 10: opportunity and to have equal ability to be.

730
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 1: Able to rise.

731
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:35,280
Speaker 10: And we're not pushing people down. And we certainly haven't

732
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 10: had an anti Semitic line that's been run through the

733
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 10: Conservative movement. So now I'm speaking on pretty clearly. Strangely enough,

734
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:43,840
Speaker 10: I just got off the floor of the Senate about

735
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 10: two hours ago, was talking through some of the things

736
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 10: that have happened this year and mentioned exactly this issue

737
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 10: about anti Semitism, both on the left and the right

738
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 10: that's rising on it. I tell you, I stand very

739
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 10: strong with my friends in Israel and Jewish friends that

740
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:00,319
Speaker 10: are here in the United States and protect in their

741
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 10: right to live their faith, have their faith, have their heritage,

742
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:05,360
Speaker 10: and to make sure that we as a country protect

743
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 10: that that goes all the way back to George Washington

744
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 10: did not This is this is who we are as Americans,

745
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 10: that we protect the rights of Jews to be able

746
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,439
Speaker 10: to live their faith and practice it well.

747
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 2: Said Senator James Lankford's been our guest today from Oklahoma.

748
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 2: We're wrapping up the show today back in the Big

749
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 2: Apple tomorrow. It's common sense for the American people. Thanks

750
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:28,399
Speaker 2: for listening. I'm Scott Jennings on the Salem Radio Network.

751
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 1: Portions of the Scott Jennings Show.

752
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:34,799
Speaker 2: We're sponsored in part by Americans for Prosperity. Yeah, we

753
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 2: all the same cause, we think in the same thing.

754
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 3: We think
