1
00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 1: The voice of free speech, the truth delivered, common sense

2
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 1: for the American people.

3
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 2: Welcome to the Scott Jenning Show. Okay, it's Monday, February

4
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 2: the second. We are tracking the partial government shutdown, which

5
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:24,599
Speaker 2: may last until Tuesday. Fentanyl deaths are plummeting in America.

6
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 2: This hour, we'll explore why, and we continue to keep

7
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 2: an eye on the Middle East where President Trump weighs

8
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 2: his options on Iran. This is the Scott Jennings Show

9
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:38,879
Speaker 2: here on Salem, Common Sense for the American People, and

10
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,520
Speaker 2: we begin this hour with the latest on the emerging

11
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 2: nullification fight on the streets of America. What started in

12
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 2: Minneapolis has spread to other cities, now Los Angeles. This weekend,

13
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 2: violent radicals took to the streets attacking an ICE facility

14
00:00:55,240 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 2: in LA Police arrested multiple violet agitators as protests erupted

15
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 2: across the city on Friday evening. Last week, in New York,

16
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 2: police made dozens of arrests after anti ICE protesters took

17
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 2: over a hotel lobby because they thought it was housing

18
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 2: ICE officials. Angry mobs are now roaming American cities hunting

19
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 2: for ICE officers and officials. I shudder to think what

20
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 2: would happen if any of these mobs actually got their

21
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 2: hands on the brave men and women of law enforcement.

22
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 2: What is it that these angry mobs want. They want

23
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 2: the federal government to stop enforcing immigration laws, laws that

24
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 2: have been on the books for years and enforced without

25
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 2: much controversy by presidents of both parties. These mobs and

26
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 2: the politicians backing them up, stoking their anger and unleashing

27
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 2: them on American streets. They want to nullify federal law.

28
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 2: They effectively want to secede from the Union so long

29
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 2: as Donald Trump is the president. And there's something else

30
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 2: at play here, something far more sinister. The real play,

31
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 2: the real idea hell by these radicals is that America

32
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 2: doesn't exist at all. If this sounds crazy and stupid

33
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 2: to you, well that's because it is. And therefore it

34
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 2: is no surprise that the biggest names in Hollywood are

35
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 2: now promoting this theory. Last night at the Grammy Awards,

36
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 2: singer Billie Eilish, pretty famous person, had this to say.

37
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 2: Here's cut one. No one is illegal on stolen land.

38
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 2: And yeah, it's just really hard to know what to

39
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 2: say and what to do right now. And I just

40
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 2: I feel really hopeful in this room, and I feel

41
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 2: like we just need to keep fighting and speaking up

42
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 2: in protest, and our voices really do matter, and the

43
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 2: people matter. And I say sorry, that sound dropout that

44
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 2: you heard was Billie Eilish making a profane statement against ice.

45
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 2: By the way, starts with an F ends with a

46
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 2: you very classy way to talk about the police, Billy,

47
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 2: What does she mean by stolen land? Radical communists like

48
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 2: Billy Eilish, who profits handsomely, I might add, from American capitalism,

49
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 2: believe that America was stolen from the Native Americans, meaning

50
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 2: that we have no right to enforce laws today, chiefly

51
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 2: immigration laws. By the way, Billy Eilish lives in a

52
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 2: fourteen million dollar mansion in Los Angeles on property that

53
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 2: was once inhabited by the Tongva tribe. So far as

54
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 2: we can tell, she hasn't taken any steps to return

55
00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 2: her mansion and surrounding property to its rightful owner. But

56
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 2: we'll keep you posted. People like Billie Eilish are, of

57
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 2: course stupid, but what she says has influence, and what

58
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 2: she means is that she doesn't believe the United States

59
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 2: actually exists as a legal entity as a nation. Oh

60
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 2: and you know something else. When Billie Eilish was in

61
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 2: Ireland recently, she actually said this to her audience cut seven.

62
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 2: Oh as you.

63
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:34,919
Speaker 3: Guys know, I wish so I am not.

64
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 2: From here ab the Da, but it's really cool to

65
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 2: come somewhere in and like everybody looks exactly like you. Oh. Really,

66
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 2: a white American telling a foreign audience she likes to

67
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 2: go places where everyone looks like her sounds kind of

68
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 2: racist to me. This stolen land business is a core

69
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 2: belief of Third World communist anti colonial ideology. It's the

70
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 2: same logic they use to argue that Israel doesn't have

71
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 2: a right to exist either. They group people based on

72
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 2: their victimhood status oppressor versus oppressed. This ideology has worn

73
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 2: many costumes lately. Free Palestine, Black Lives Matter, attacking Ice

74
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 2: is just the latest vehicle for the same idea that

75
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 2: America is rotten at the core, doesn't actually exist and

76
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:31,919
Speaker 2: therefore laws don't apply. If you don't think we should

77
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 2: have immigration laws, you don't believe we should have borders,

78
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 2: and a nation without borders as well, no nation at all.

79
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 2: Lest you think, by the way, this is confined to

80
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 2: the fringe, lunatics in Hollywood or the faculty lounges at

81
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 2: Columbia or Berkeley. There are numerous Democratic officials and candidates

82
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 2: who are espousing these views openly. Take a listen to

83
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 2: Boston Mayor Michelle wou Now. She disgraces herself on the regular,

84
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 2: but this latest statement may be her most dangerous yet.

85
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 4: Cut four, Every person of a human being has the

86
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 4: legal right to come to the United States and seek

87
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 4: asylum or shelter.

88
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 2: Every single person on Earth Mayer wu. Earth's current population

89
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:23,919
Speaker 2: is eight point twenty nine billion. That's billion with a bee.

90
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 2: But Democrats believe that as a matter of policy, every

91
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 2: one of them has a right to come here and

92
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 2: claim asylum. And that's what they're saying. In the case

93
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 2: of this Ecuadorian national in Minneapolis who came to the

94
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 2: United States illegally, You've no doubt seen the story. This

95
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 2: is the guy who abandoned his five year old son

96
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 2: and the cold leading him to the care of ice agents.

97
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 2: Who did who did take care of that little boy

98
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 2: while his father fled and his mother, also an illegal alien,

99
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 2: refused to open the door. Democrats say the Ecuadorians can't

100
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 2: be illegal because they're claiming asylum from what exactly. Is

101
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 2: there some turmoil in Ecuador, of course not, but that

102
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 2: doesn't matter. These asylum claims, millions of them, are mostly bogus,

103
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 2: and they are designed to simply overwhelm the immigration system

104
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 2: and create another status for illegal aliens to evade deportation.

105
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 2: Let's hear now from supposed moderate Democrat US Senate candidate

106
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,239
Speaker 2: James Tallerico. He's in Texas cut number three.

107
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 5: America is the immigrant, America is the protester. America is

108
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 5: the huddled masses yearning to be free.

109
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 2: Make no mistake, dear listeners, this is the core of

110
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 2: democratic thinking on immigration. They do want them all. They

111
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 2: want every Third world person to come here, and they

112
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 2: will fight like the Dickens to keep them here in

113
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 2: America once they do. These leftists, these communists, and yes,

114
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 2: these democrats, are trying to give away your country to

115
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 2: every person in the Third world and for you, well,

116
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 2: for you, they do nothing except call you racist, nazi,

117
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:39,319
Speaker 2: and fascist. If you resist their revolution, they attack your

118
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 2: police officers, They tell you that laws shouldn't be enforced.

119
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 2: They ruin your neighborhoods with crime. That is what they

120
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 2: do for you, My advice, don't stand for it, or

121
00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 2: before you can say stolen land, our country, the United

122
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 2: States of America will be gone. This is the Scott

123
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 2: Sheenning Show on Salem. You're listening to common sense for

124
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 2: the American people. You know, We've been canvassing our listeners

125
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 2: and customers of Relief Factor and collecting their stories. This

126
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 2: latest listener story comes to us from Tom in Texas,

127
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 2: age eighty five. Is Tom Paine kept him from riding

128
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 2: his bike and flying small aircraft as a flight instructor.

129
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 2: That's what he loved to do. But after taking Relief Factor,

130
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 2: he says his lower back and hip pain are virtually gone,

131
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 2: and even longstanding trigger finger issues have also started to improve.

132
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 2: Now I have to tell you I've seen improvements in

133
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 2: my own life as well. You know, these debates I

134
00:09:56,080 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 2: get involved in, these long days of travel, sitting studios,

135
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 2: A lot of wear and tear on Old Scott here

136
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 2: comes with the territory. But I'll tell you I don't

137
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,439
Speaker 2: have to deal with any physical pain from it because

138
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 2: I've been taking Relief Factor. Keeps me feeling good, keeps

139
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 2: away the everyday aches and pains, lets me focus on

140
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 2: my job instead of how my body feels. I hear

141
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 2: from listeners all the time who say the same things.

142
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 2: They're still working, still pushing through their long days thanks

Speaker 6: You've heard the narratives, now get the truth. It's the

150
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 6: Scott Jennings Show.

151
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 2: Welcome back to common sense for the American people. It's

152
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 2: Scott Jennings. I want to highlight a story today. Good news. Actually,

153
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 2: fentanyl deaths have been dropping significantly in the United States.

154
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 2: Overdose deaths declined by over thirty percent between the summer

155
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 2: of twenty twenty three and the summer of twenty twenty five,

156
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 2: and last week, the CDC estimated that nearly seventy three

157
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 2: thousand people died of a drug overdose during the twelve

158
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:24,079
Speaker 2: months that ended last August, down twenty one percent from

159
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 2: a year earlier. Why is that well? My next guest

160
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 2: is doctor Sally Setel, who recently wrote the article why

161
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:36,319
Speaker 2: Fentanyl deaths are falling. Doctor Stel is a senior fellow

162
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 2: at the American Enterprise Institute and a practicing psychiatrist and

163
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 2: lecturer at Yale University. She's done the research that you

164
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 2: need to hear about it. Doc, Welcome into the Scott

165
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 2: Schenning Show.

166
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 7: Bill, Thank you very much, Thank you for.

167
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 2: Being here, And i'd just like to start with this, Why,

168
00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 2: in your opinion are fentanyl deaths falling in America? Yeah?

169
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 8: Well, there are actually several reasons, and experts are still

170
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 8: debating over which ones are the most potent, but I

171
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 8: think they all play a significant role. I'll go through

172
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 8: them quickly. The first is Narcan, which is the technical

173
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 8: name is the lock zone, but that's the overdose reversal agent.

174
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 8: People can literally squirt it in their nose.

175
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:27,199
Speaker 9: This is what.

176
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:31,079
Speaker 8: Emergency used police use, and even now anyone can get

177
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 8: it over the counter in a pharmacy and it will

178
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 8: reverse most opioid overdoses. With Sentinel, which is much more

179
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 8: common than much more common and also now much more

180
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:45,199
Speaker 8: potent than heroin, you need sometimes a lot of sprays,

181
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 8: but it works, and this is one very important reason

182
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 8: I think why. A second reason is that the purity

183
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 8: of the fentanyl supply has actually gone down. By the

184
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 8: end of twenty twenty four it fell from half from

185
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:05,679
Speaker 8: its peak the year before. And that's very important because,

186
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 8: as I mentioned, sentinels fifty times more potent than heroin.

187
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 8: And this is why the overdose rate has just soared

188
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 8: from about twenty fourteen onward. And this probably has to

189
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 8: do with the fact that there's a supply shock from China.

190
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 8: This theory was put forth in a recent issue in

191
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 8: Science magazine, and the researchers speculate that the Chinese companies

192
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:34,719
Speaker 8: which make Sentinel precursors which they send to Mexico are

193
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 8: sending less and this is out of compliance with international

194
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 8: counter narcotics laws. I will go on to the fourth

195
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 8: unless you have a question.

196
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 2: No, please, this is great. This is doctor Sally Satel

197
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 2: by the way, from Yale who's done the research on

198
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 2: why we're having a dramatic reduction in overdose deaks. Please

199
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,439
Speaker 2: doctor Satel continue fascinating.

200
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:56,839
Speaker 10: Okay.

201
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 8: Then there's the speculation that the pipeline of new users

202
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 8: has flowed because young people are really put off by

203
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 8: what they see in neighborhoods where Sentinel use is common,

204
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 8: and it is very much parallel to the cautionary tale

205
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 8: that developed with crack. There was so much contempt among

206
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 8: the subsequent generations that lived in inner cities and they

207
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 8: saw what it did to the crime and the people

208
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 8: who lived there that they just they were frankly just

209
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 8: turned off. And there are a number of rap songs

210
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 8: from the mid nineties warning against crack. Number five. Let's

211
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 8: see is that a lot of communities in the Midwest

212
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 8: and on the East coast especially, and I emphasized those

213
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 8: places because Sentanel took five years really to move west,

214
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 8: so its effect is still probably more ongoing there. But

215
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 8: in any case, that we've reached something called sentinel saturation,

216
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 8: the idea being at people who use it actually kind

217
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 8: of know how to use it. They don't use it

218
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 8: alone so that if they overdose, somebody else can use

219
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 8: narcan with them. They sometimes use Sentinel test strips, and

220
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 8: they've become physiologically tolerant so their bodies can handle it better.

221
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 8: And I'll go to the final one, which is really

222
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 8: a depressing one, but it's that the people who still

223
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 8: use Sentinel are kind of the survivors the most vulnerable

224
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 8: and the least lucky you have already died off. And

225
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 8: some combination of some or all of these factors surely

226
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 8: have played a role. Now the question is, of course,

227
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 8: will this good news last.

228
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 2: That's doctor Sally Satel. She has written this article called

229
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 2: why fentanyl deaths are falling. We have seen a substantial

230
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 2: drop in fininyl overdose deaths. Doctor Satel is a senior

231
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 2: fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. She's also at Yale University.

232
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 2: She's done the research here. I encourage you to look

233
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 2: up her article. Can find doctor Satel on the X

234

00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 2: to follow along. Doctor Satel, thank you so much for

237
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 2: chatting with us today. We're gonna take a break. When

238
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 2: we come back, we've got to talk about the Thank you. Yes,

239
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 2: we're gonna talk about the government shutdown. Congressman Rich McCormick

240
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 2: of Georgia is here. We'll get the latest from Washington.

241
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 2: It's common sense for the American people. Scott Jennings is here.

242
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 2: Stay with us. Hey, it's Scott Jennings. You know, depending

243
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 2: on where you live, crime maybe skyrocketing and you may

244
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 2: already own a firearm. But before you face the financial, legal,

245
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 2: and emotional weight of pulling the trigger, there's a smarter option.

246
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 2: It's called Burna that's b y r n A. Burna

247
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 2: makes a less lethal launcher that fires tear gas and

248
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 2: kinetic rounds designed to stop an attacker for up to

249
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 2: forty minutes that gives you time to escape and call

250
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 2: for help without deadly consequences. Their best selling compact launcher

251
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 2: is sleek, slim, and incredibly powerful. It's about the size

252
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,719
Speaker 2: of a smartphone, and it is ideal for concealed caring.

253
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 2: It's comfortable, discreet, and confidence building. It fires at four

254
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 2: hundred feet per second with serious stopping power, enough to

255
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,679
Speaker 2: shut down a threat fast without the legal and moral

256
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 2: complexity of lethal force. Burna is proudly American. Over eighty

257
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 2: percent of the components are US sourced. Every Burna launcher

263
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 6: Ready for more common sense Here CNN senior political commentator,

264
00:17:56,240 --> 00:18:00,919
Speaker 6: New York Times best selling author and America's favorite political pundit,

265
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 6: Scott Jillings.

266
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 2: It is Monday, February second. Joining us in a moment

267
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:11,239
Speaker 2: Congressman Rich McCormick of Georgia. We'll get the latest from

268
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 2: him on the government shutdown, the partial shutdown. First, a

269
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 2: word from our partners at Child Help. I want to

270
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 2: tell you a story that child Help sees far too often.

271
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 2: It starts as a game, kids logging on after school,

272
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:29,159
Speaker 2: talking with friends and having fun. Then someone else joins

273
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 2: the conversation. At first, it doesn't feel wrong, it's just

274
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 2: compliments and curious questions. Hey, someone's paying attention. But over

275
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,360
Speaker 2: time the messages become more personal, and then they become private,

276
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 2: then secret, and then uncomfortable. That's how online grooming works,

277
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 2: not with overt force, but with trust. By the time

278
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 2: the child realizes something is wrong, they get scared. They

279
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 2: get scared to tell their parents, Scared they'll be in trouble,

280
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 2: Scared they'll lose their devices or their friends. This is

281
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:03,640
Speaker 2: where child Help steps in. Child helps life saving programs

282
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:08,880
Speaker 2: focus on prevention, education, intervention, and treatment, helping kids recognize

283
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 2: grooming behavior before it turns into abuse, and helping parents

284
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,920
Speaker 2: know what warning signs to look out for. They teach

285
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,400
Speaker 2: kids that secrets about bodies aren't okay, They teach parents

286
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 2: how grooming actually happens, and they help families take action

287
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 2: when something isn't right. This isn't about fear, ladies and gentlemen.

288
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:32,400
Speaker 2: It is about preparation. The truth is every family is vulnerable,

289
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 2: and every family deserves and needs the tools to keep

290
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 2: kids safe. Your support for child Help makes these programs possible.

291
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,880
Speaker 2: I support them, I personally donate. I would not ask

292
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 2: you to donate to something I don't do myself. For

293

Speaker 2: Yeah, appreciate your time. Today. We are in the midst

307
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 2: of a partial government shutdown. Let's start here. Congressman McCormick,

308
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 2: can you tell our listeners what is happening, why it's happening,

309
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 2: and when do you expect the government to be fully reopened?

310
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 11: Sure?

311
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 12: So, basically, the average human being is not going to

312
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 12: have any effect by this. The only thing that's hung

313
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 12: up of the twelve Appropriations Bill is the funding of

314
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 12: the DAS Department of Homeland Security. Obviously, the Democrats are

315
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 12: trying to make ka out of the ice situation in Minneapolis.

316
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 11: They're trying to essentially go back to defunding the police.

317
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 12: The best thing they can get pasted right now is

318
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 12: the Senate modification, which basically puts a CR continuing resolution

319
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 12: pass funding for the DHS for less than two weeks. Really,

320
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:26,439
Speaker 12: it aspires on February twelfth. We have to revise that

321
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:30,120
Speaker 12: and come up with that. Meanwhile, the eleven other appropriations

322
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:33,399
Speaker 12: bills are going through, and we'd be basically funding the

323
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 12: rest of the government, and actually even the DHS gets

324
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 12: funded though at prior funding levels until we figured out.

325
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 12: I don't think it's a big deal either way. The

326
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 12: people who grant stand up this, Republics or Democrats. There's

327
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 12: nothing that's going to change anything in the average civilian's life.

328
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 12: So I just wouldn't get too wrapped up around the

329
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 12: details on this. We're going to figure it out. We've

330
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 12: got a couple weeks to do it. Whether if you

331
00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 12: freeze the government by not passing this, I think that

332
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 12: would be a worse case scenario because we have the

333
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,239
Speaker 12: people's work to get to. Then we're not focusing on

334
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,679
Speaker 12: one bill, We're focusing on twelve bills together.

335
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 11: I just think that's a wrong way to go about it.

336
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 12: I'd rather get going and get a bunch of other

337
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 12: stuff passed while.

338
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:13,919
Speaker 11: We can get to work and do something while we

339
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:14,719
Speaker 11: still have control.

340
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,439
Speaker 2: Congressman, something that is noteworthy, and I don't think it's

341
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 2: gotten enough attention, is the fact that under house Republican

342
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 2: control right now and for the first time in many,

343
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 2: many many years, all twelve appropriations bills have passed individually.

344
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 2: You are funding the government in regular order, exactly the

345
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,159
Speaker 2: way you're supposed to do it. Normally, we have to

346
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 2: group these things together in omnibuses and so on. But

347
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 2: under Speaker Johnson and the House Republicans, you're actually passing

348
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 2: individual appropriations bills. This is how it is supposed to work.

349
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 2: I don't think the Republicans have gotten enough credit for this.

350
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 2: Tell us about the commitment by the Republicans to doing

351
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 2: things in regular order.

352
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 12: Well, for as much complain there is about our discord

353
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 12: and only having a one vote majority, I'll tell you you've

354
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,640
Speaker 12: never seen a more united Republican Party than now.

355
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 2: Now.

356
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 11: That can change in the heart, but it can change tonight.

357
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 11: We're about to find out. We're about to test ourselves.

358
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:13,199
Speaker 12: But to have a one vote majority and to actually

359
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 12: pass twelve appropriations bills never been done. This is the

360
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 12: most united by percentage you've ever had. To compare it

361
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 12: and contrast it to when new Gangers are Speaker. We

362
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 12: had a forty vote majority and we barely passed those

363
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 12: things back then.

364
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 11: So this is a really big step.

365
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:29,919
Speaker 12: It's not perfect, it's not as conservatives I want it

366
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:31,639
Speaker 12: to be, but it is a big step in the

367
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 12: right direction considering the narrow margins. That we have something

368
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 12: that can pass in the Senate, that's fantastic. I'm glad

369
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:41,159
Speaker 12: they're not trying to shut us down completely. This is

370
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,679
Speaker 12: a big accomplishment, and I think anybody who's worked up

371
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 12: here for a while actually can take some great happiness

372
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 12: in knowing that we've done that. The problem is we're

373
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:53,679
Speaker 12: not quite there yet, and it could be all for

374
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 12: not tonight.

375
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 11: The President's going to lean hard on those several individuals

376
00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 11: that are still holding out.

377
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 12: He is the gorilla in the room still, He's the

378
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 12: one that's gonna have to twist their arms to make

379
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 12: sure that.

380
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 11: They realize, yeah, you can hold out. Yeah, say you do.

381
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 12: More conservative, but ultimately you're probably gonna get a worse deal,

382
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 12: not a better deal, because when the Senate gets another

383
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,400
Speaker 12: slice set it, they always ask for more.

384
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 11: And that's why we passed the last big, beautiful bill.

385
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 11: Wasn't what I wanted. It wasn't as conservatives why, it's

386
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:20,640
Speaker 11: still too.

387
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 12: Much debt, But you know what, it was the best

388
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 12: deal we could get that could pass the Senate, and

389
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:26,639
Speaker 12: so we did it. And sometimes you just have to

390
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 12: do that. That's democracy, is messy. It's not what I want,

391
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,640
Speaker 12: it's not what they want. It's something in between. That's democracy.

392
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 12: But it's the best we got.

393
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 2: So we're watching the House floor tonight. There are votes

394
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 2: on all of this this evening. It sounds like you

395
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,399
Speaker 2: think there may be a few Republicans who could be

396
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 2: a fly in the ointment, but if everybody sticks together,

397
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 2: everything will move forward, as you and the leadership hope

398
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 2: it does. So we'll pay attention to the House floor

399
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 2: this evening. I was wondering if you might want to

400
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 2: comment more broadly on the immigration situation. We've seen radical

401
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 2: protesters in Minneapolis. We saw that spread to Los Angeles

402
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 2: this weekend. People who effectively congressmen would like to nullify

403
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 2: federal immigration law. It's pretty scary, actually, when you consider

404
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 2: what the Democrats are proposing. The federal law shouldn't apply

405
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 2: in certain jurisdictions. How's all this striking you and what

406
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 2: are you hearing from your constituents about it?

407
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,120
Speaker 12: Well, I tell you everybody wants to support the law

408
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 12: when it comes to immigration, especially when it comes to

409
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 12: criminals where we sometimes lose our way as conservatives, we

410
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 12: come across as discompassionate, but quite frankly, we can own

411
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,399
Speaker 12: the day on this. The average person doesn't want to

412
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:38,120
Speaker 12: ever see the remaining criminals here in the United States,

413
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 12: not only that they came here illegally, but they're actually

414
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 12: praying off of that demographic. As a matter of fact,

415
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,640
Speaker 12: it was the immigrants, even the illegal immigrants that were

416
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 12: already here that we're resisting further immigrant illegal immigration from

417
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 12: the other border as competition. Also the criminal alien that

418
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 12: actually comes over here and praise off that demographic. The

419
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 12: child traffickers, the rapists, the murder the criminals who do

420
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 12: drugs and go out drugs.

421
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 11: Everybody wants to see them out of the United States. Now.

422
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 12: I think there's some debate over exactly the people who've

423
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 12: been here for thirty years, that have employees that have

424
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,120
Speaker 12: a son at MIT and marriat to an American. That's

425
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 12: where it gets a little bit squirrely, and that's where

426
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 12: it to be very careful, because we could lose a

427
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 12: significant portion of the Hispanic support that we've gained because

428
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 12: they want a secure border too. They don't want criminals

429
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:29,399
Speaker 12: here either. But when you have liberal organizations texting people

430
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 12: in my district, middle schoolers saying we need to rise

431
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 12: up against Ice, We need to.

432
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 11: Stand up against these horrible people.

433
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 12: You see how they're kind of stealing this idea of

434
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 12: compassion that they're doing the right thing somehow as that

435
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,639
Speaker 12: they're teaching them civil discord.

436
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:45,919
Speaker 11: You know what you should be teaching them.

437
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 12: If you don't like a law, study the constitution, study, legislation,

438
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 12: study how.

439
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 11: You change laws. Don't teach our kids how to be political.

440
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 12: Teach them how to be law biding citizens, to actually

441
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,919
Speaker 12: know how to control the government, how to change government,

442
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,639
Speaker 12: and how to be of the people and by the people.

443
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 11: And then we'll.

444
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 12: Teach them something worthwhile in schools rather than just civil disobedience.

445
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, some of this video coming out of certain schools

446
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:11,439
Speaker 2: that have shut down and sent their students out to

447
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 2: protest against Ice. These messages you're talking about where they're

448
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 2: teaching students to hate law enforcement officers. They are trying

449
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,400
Speaker 2: to radicalize these kids and make them hate the police

450
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,640
Speaker 2: and make them hate the idea that we have law

451
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,440
Speaker 2: and order in society. I think you're right to call

452
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 2: it out. Congressman Rich McCormick of Georgia is our guest

453
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 2: here on the Scott Shedding Show. Congressman, you are a

454
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,399
Speaker 2: doctor by trade. I know you've been working on this

455
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 2: policy with the administration a little bit. Can you tell

456
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:41,640
Speaker 2: us about what President Trump is doing on prescription drug prices.

457
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,719
Speaker 2: We've heard a little bit about the Trump RX program.

458
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 2: What can you tell us about that in the administration

459
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 2: and the Republican Party's overall efforts to get drug prices

460
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 2: under control for American consumers.

461
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 11: So they say you step in the right direction.

462
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:57,919
Speaker 12: We have a lot to work on, a lot to

463
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 12: do with the insurance premiums as well, which is not

464
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 12: covered by this particular part of the healthcare plan, which

465
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:05,120
Speaker 12: he has a bunch of things that he's addressing at once.

466
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:09,159
Speaker 12: When it comes to pharmaceutical pricing, when it comes to sales,

467
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 12: that when we purchase drugs, that we get favorite, most

468
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 12: Favored nation status, so we get these same prices as

469
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 12: everybody else and that they're the best price out there.

470
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:21,160
Speaker 12: We are a massive consumer. This should always be reflected

471
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 12: a purchasing power. We should always have price and transparency

472
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,439
Speaker 12: when you go to buy your drugs. It shouldn't be

473
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 12: one price at CBS, one price at Walgreens, one price

474
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 12: somewhere else, and that you just have to figure out

475
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,639
Speaker 12: where he's trying to give you pricing transparency that you

476
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 12: can pay either out of pocket or with your insurance

477
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 12: policy that is the best price no matter what you

478
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 12: where you buy it, and how you buy it, that

479
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 12: you get the best price.

480
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 11: We keep on getting raw.

481
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 12: When I was a physician, if I gave you a prescription,

482
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 12: it could be for an antibiotic, for example, and you

483
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 12: go fill it. You're gonna pay your make up these numbers.

484
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 12: But this is just an idea. What could happen. You

485
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 12: pay your ten dollars copay, you turn the rest of

486
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 12: the insurance to insurance, maybe charges for antibotic ninety dollars.

487
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 12: Then the insurance company says, well, I'm going to pay

488
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 12: that ninety dollars. I'm gonna up charge that by ten

489
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 12: percent for your premium. Now you essentially paid one hundred

490
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 12: and ten dollars.

491
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 11: For that prescription.

492
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 12: If you would have paid out of pocket, the cash

493
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 12: value it would have been as much as about your

494
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 12: your deductible, which is maybe a ten dollars copay.

495
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 11: And that's what I'm talking about.

496
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 12: We've been trained to harm ourselves in this pricing index.

497
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 12: This will give us the ability and the habit and

498
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 12: the resources to actually pick the best pricing and stop

499
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 12: pilfering the American people by our premiums and buy the

500
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 12: pharmaceutical companies that really don't care. If you look at

501
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 12: the top five, scuse me, top ten companies in America,

502
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 12: the fortune ten if you will for them, are either

503
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 12: big pharma or big insurance. Seven of the top twenty,

504
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 12: they're making record profits two hundred and forty percent more

505
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 12: than they used to make for the Affordable Care Act.

506
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 11: This needs to stop.

507
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 12: This is the big biggest sense, the biggest expense for

508
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 12: all Americans. Biggest spence for government, second biggest inflationary cop

509
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 12: second biggest expense to all businesses.

510
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 11: This is the thing when you do dress.

511
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 2: Congressman Rich McCormick, George's seventh district, articulate conservative and a

512
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 2: fighter for American values. Thank you for joining us on

514
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 2: a word from our friends at done with debt. If

515
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 2: you are in debt and you are stressed about getting

516
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 2: out of it, it is time to do something here.

517
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 2: You need to listen to me. Done with Debt is

518
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 2: one of the best organizations I've ever seen at navigating

519
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 2: debt relief. In fact, last year was a record year.

520
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 2: They enrolled over one hundred and two million dollars in

521
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 2: debt for our listeners and other Americans. Done with Debt

522
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 2: tracks credit card and loan company behavior that makes them

523
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 2: experienced at knowing who is negotiating different contours of debt

524
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,320

Speaker 2: someone else to help you. They won't. You have to

538
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 2: Scott Jennings Monday, February second, broadcasting live from Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.

539
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 2: By the way, lest you think I'm down here lounging

540
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 2: on the beach, you can't even do that. It's too

541
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 2: cold to go to the beach in Florida right now.

542
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 2: The iguanas are frozen. They're falling out of the trees.

543
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 2: But it won't always be that way, and there are

544
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 2: places you can go where it is warm, and I'm

545
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 2: going to do that later this year. I'm going on

546
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 2: a cruise and I want to personally invite you, our

547
00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 2: listeners to join me all along with my colleague here

548
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 2: at Salem, the legend Mike Gallagher, for a powerful week

549
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:09,760

550
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 2: in November the fourteenth through the twenty first of this year,

00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:16,320

Speaker 2: crystal blue waters and visit incredible ports like Half Moonkey

553
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 2: and Cosmel, and we will enjoy the first class hospitality

554
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 2: of a luxury cruise ship. It is a luxury ship,

555
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 2: by the way, I would never get on a ship

556
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 2: that wasn't a luxury cruise ship, and we would only

557
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 2: give you the best ship to board. All week, you'll

558
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:42,840

569
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,600

588
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:29,200

Speaker 2: While we eat well, we fellowship, we visit interesting places,

590

591
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 2: Scott Jennings Mike Gallagher Cruise coming up this November. Before

592
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 2: we round out this hour here on the Scott Shenning Show,

593
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:47,720
Speaker 2: I wanted to bring you one more story, an incredible story.

594
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 2: I had to highlight this. You may have seen it

595
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:55,360
Speaker 2: if you haven't. The New York Times has been running

596
00:34:55,600 --> 00:35:02,320
Speaker 2: op eds from a supposed doctor who was slamming Israel.

597
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:06,239
Speaker 2: Of course, in his opinion pieces on the pages of

598
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 2: the New York Times, they called him a Gaza doctor.

599
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:16,400
Speaker 2: It turns out, it turns out that this man was

600
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:20,359
Speaker 2: a colonel in Hamas. The New York Times has been

601
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 2: running columns from literal Hamas militants. Hussom Abu Sophia was

602
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:35,279
Speaker 2: recently photographed wearing a Hamas military uniform while at a

603
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:39,920
Speaker 2: gathering of Hamas elites to celebrate the completion of the

604
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 2: Comal Odwan Hospital. That's according to the Jerusalem based watchdog

605
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:51,719
Speaker 2: NGO Monitor. So you have this man who's sam Abu Safaia,

606
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 2: a Hamas colonel, claiming to be random humble Gaza doctor,

607
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 2: and of course the New York Times gobbling up his

608
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 2: opinion pieces which slander Israel. Now you might remember that

609
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:11,839
Speaker 2: last year The New York Times had to add an

610
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 2: editor's note to an image of a malnourished child that

611
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,800
Speaker 2: they tried to tell you was starving because of Israel,

612
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 2: but really he just had pre existing health issues. They

613
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 2: were part of a propaganda campaign then, and they are

614
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 2: now having to admit they were part of a propaganda

615
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 2: campaign by running two op eds from a hamas Colonel,

616
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 2: remember when their opinion page editor had to resign over

617
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 2: a Tom Cotton op ed? Will anyone resign over this?

618
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 2: Don't hold your breath. That's our one hour two's coming up.

619
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 2: It's common sense for the American people. Scott Jennings is here.

620
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 2: Stay with us on Salem.

621
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:58,760
Speaker 1: The voice of free speech, the truth delivered, common sense

622
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 1: for the American people. Welcome to the Scott Jenny Show.

623
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 2: It is Monday, February second, Groundhog Day. You're listening to

624
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:15,400
Speaker 2: the second hour of the Scott Jennings Show, Common Sense

625
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:18,719
Speaker 2: for the American people. They were added again as they

626
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:23,239
Speaker 2: always are in Punk Satani, Pennsylvania. What happened to the

627
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:26,880
Speaker 2: groundhog this morning? Let's listen into the moment where the

628
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 2: groundhog emerged. Cut tin here ye here, ye hear ye hell.

629
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:36,760
Speaker 3: On this February second, Punk Satani, Phil, the Seer of Sears,

630
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 3: prognosticator of all prognosticators, was awakened from his wintry nap

631
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 3: at dawn on Gobbler's knob. Phil looked to the skies

632
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:50,759
Speaker 3: and then, speaking in ground hooggies, directed President Uncle to

633
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 3: the proper scroll, which reads, it's my great honor to

634
00:37:56,360 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 3: answer your annual call. So I rise again the morning

635
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:04,759
Speaker 3: to greet you all. But today I wait thinking of

636
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:09,840
Speaker 3: numbers and time. America turns two hundred and fifty and

637
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 3: I'm at least one hundred and thirty nine. Let's celebrate

638
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:21,439
Speaker 3: all young old babies or millennial and kick off America's

639
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 3: semi quincentennial. We look to the future and not just

640
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 3: the past, so I suppose this party could use a forecast.

641
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 3: It is my job this February two to look to

642
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:43,440
Speaker 3: the skies and report back to you that there.

643
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 2: Is a shadow here on my ground.

644
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 3: Six more weeks of winter abound.

645
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:57,879
Speaker 2: Oh, that naughty groundhog has foisted upon us, six more

646
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 2: weeks of winter, and it's underway already here in Florida,

647
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:03,759
Speaker 2: where I broadcast to you today. Cold down here, the

648
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 2: Iguanas are freezing and falling out of the trees. Terrible thing.

649
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 2: Breaking news, by the way, just into the show, President

650
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 2: Trump is apparently holding nuclear talks with Iran on Friday

651
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:19,880
Speaker 2: to discuss all this and other national security matters. Rebecca

652
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:23,359
Speaker 2: Heidrich joins me national security expert, and she is a

653
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 2: senior Fellow with the Hudson Institute. Welcome back to the show. Rebecca,

654
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:31,880
Speaker 2: you are the official national security correspondent of the Scott

655
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:33,359
Speaker 2: Jennings Show. We're glad to have you.

656
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:36,400
Speaker 9: So that's your privilege to have that title. Good to

657
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 9: be here.

658
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:40,319
Speaker 2: Thank you very much. The President, by the way, was

659
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 2: asked over the weekend if a strike on Iran by

660
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:48,839
Speaker 2: the United States would start a larger regional conflict. Let's

661
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:51,399
Speaker 2: listen into the president and comment cut number nine.

662
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 12: Why wouldn't he say, I appreciate you say that we

663
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 12: have the biggest list bout for ships in the world

664
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 12: over there very close a couple of days.

665
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 11: And halting will make a deal.

666
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 12: We don't make a deal, then I will find out whether.

667
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:06,640
Speaker 7: Or not he was right.

668
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 2: The president, speaking from mar A Lago, Rebecca, what do

669
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 2: you think? What do you think about the talks? What

670
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:14,840
Speaker 2: do you think about the American military build up in

671
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 2: the Middle East.

672
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 9: I think it.

673
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 4: Rhymes a lot with what was happening leading up to

674
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 4: President Trump's initiation of the operation to arrest Maduro in Venezuela.

675
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:28,360
Speaker 4: There is, of course a massive military build up. President

676
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 4: Trump always had an open hand for diplomacy, and if

677
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:34,760
Speaker 4: you remember Scott, President Trump spoke directly with Nicholas Muduro

678
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 4: one week before the operation that came in and arrested

679
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 4: Maduro and now brought.

680
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 9: Him back to the United States.

681
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 4: So I think that President Trump is obviously engaged in

682
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:48,440
Speaker 4: some coercive diplomacy.

683
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:50,319
Speaker 9: I mean, just a massive amount.

684
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:55,400
Speaker 4: Of air power, naval power surrounding Iran. The Ayatola is

685
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:58,360
Speaker 4: the only person in Iran that actually has the authority

686
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 4: to make decisions about the new program, and so I

687
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 4: think talks that don't involve him are really just smoke

688
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 4: and mirrors anyway. But the Ipola himself, of course, has

689
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:10,400
Speaker 4: spent the last several weeks mocking President Frump and threatening

690
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:12,760
Speaker 4: retaliation against the United States on Twitter.

691
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,280
Speaker 9: So it's not a good situation for the Iran regime.

692
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 4: And I think we're really close to something happening where

693
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 4: the United States does intervene militarily.

694
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:23,959
Speaker 2: The word is is that tens of thousands of protesters

695
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 2: who want regime change in Iran, the people who are

696
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 2: bravely out protesting the Ayatola in the streets have been

697
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:34,280
Speaker 2: slaughtered by the regime. Let me ask you two questions, Rebecca,

698
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:36,920
Speaker 2: do you believe these reports? Do you think the numbers

699
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:40,280
Speaker 2: are really that high? And number two on the idea

700
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 2: of American strikes. If I were the president, I guess

701
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:45,240
Speaker 2: the question I would have is if we strike the regime,

702
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 2: what are the targets? And can we guarantee that the

703
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 2: regime would fall? What say you about those matters?

704
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 9: So great question.

705
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 4: So on the first one, I do believe that the

706
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:58,279
Speaker 4: numbers are very very high. It'd be impossible for me

707
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:01,320
Speaker 4: to know exactly how many innocent testers the Iran regime

708
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:04,480
Speaker 4: has killed because they had this internet blackout, so they

709
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 4: didn't even want anybody outside Iran to know what was

710
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:10,200
Speaker 4: going on. We do know that there were tens of

711
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:14,719
Speaker 4: thousands of protesters who were in the streets and who

712
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 4: lost their lives.

713
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:17,360
Speaker 9: We heard some reporting that came out.

714
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:21,240
Speaker 4: That for anybody, any member of a family who knew

715
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:23,000
Speaker 4: that they might have had a young one who was killed,

716
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 4: had to pay the regime to even get the body

717
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:28,400
Speaker 4: bag back, the body back. And so we know that

718
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:30,720
Speaker 4: there is a massacre, and we know that President Trump

719
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:33,400
Speaker 4: has been very consistent throughout that if there was a

720
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 4: massacre that the United States would intervene, and President Trump

721
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:40,319
Speaker 4: encouraged the protesters to keep going. And President Trump has

722
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 4: periodically said that the days of the Ayahtola are coming

723
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:44,640
Speaker 4: to an end, and there does need to be a

724
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:47,360
Speaker 4: change in the regime. The second part of the question,

725
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:49,799
Speaker 4: I think that this is still this is still an

726
00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 4: organic effort to overthrow the regime on the part of

727
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:53,320
Speaker 4: the Iranian people.

728
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 9: I think we should keep it that way.

729
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 4: So, you know, anything that the United States does would

730
00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:59,600
Speaker 4: be in support of the Iranian people. And so there

731
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:02,279
Speaker 4: are some targets that we could hit that would just

732
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:04,640
Speaker 4: support what the people are already doing trying to overthrow

733
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:07,680
Speaker 4: the regime. We can hit the IRGC targets. Those are,

734
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:11,399
Speaker 4: of course, the military corps that supports the regime. You've

735
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:14,719
Speaker 4: got the Iranian military and those folks the standing army

736
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:17,799
Speaker 4: care mostly about the iran the Iranian country sort of

737
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:21,240
Speaker 4: as it's the country. But the IRGC protect the Mulahs

738
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:23,759
Speaker 4: and the Iola. So if we can go after those

739
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:26,560
Speaker 4: guys and then go after their missile force, which of

740
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:29,439
Speaker 4: course the Chinese have helped the Iranians continue to build

741
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:32,399
Speaker 4: their missile force, that would be very clearly in US

742
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:34,840
Speaker 4: interest to do that, and it would further weaken the regime.

743
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:37,960
Speaker 4: I cannot guarantee that we would overthrow the regime and

744
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 4: there'd be something better there. Obviously that's going to be

745
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:45,000
Speaker 4: up to the Iranian people, but from an American interest perspective,

746
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:47,000
Speaker 4: those would be our targets that we would want to

747
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:47,359
Speaker 4: take out.

748
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:51,240
Speaker 2: Scott Rebecca Heinrichs from the Hudson Institute is our guest.

749
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:54,400
Speaker 2: More breaking news, Rebecca. The President had a phone call,

750
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:58,879
Speaker 2: he says, with President Modi and India, and he's got

751
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 2: an agreement to all Indian purchases of Russian oil. This

752
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 2: is a massive loss for the Russians. I guess India

753
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:09,800
Speaker 2: is going to buy oil from Venezuela. What's your reaction

754
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 2: to this breaking news out of the president.

755
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:14,360
Speaker 9: Well, first of all, it's wild.

756
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 4: God, this is if people could fully understand just how

757
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:18,600
Speaker 4: wild this is.

758
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:20,800
Speaker 9: So I just had the privilege of going to India

759
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:23,759
Speaker 9: a few months ago. Well but it was before.

760
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:25,759
Speaker 4: The President Trump was re elected, So I guess it's

761
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:27,799
Speaker 4: been a year since I've been there. But I had

762
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:31,879
Speaker 4: many meetings with Indian officials. They clearly wanted a good

763
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:35,440
Speaker 4: relationship with the United States. They were excited about President

764
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 4: Trump winning the election. But there's always been this challenge

765
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:42,400
Speaker 4: of what to do about Russia because India and Russia

766
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 4: have this complicated relationship where they sell and buy military equipment,

767
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:52,239
Speaker 4: and from my perspective, it's always been a good thing

768
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:54,560
Speaker 4: to have a good relationship with India because it creates

769
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 4: a problem for China. But I was sort of always

770
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 4: under this impression to be so hard to get the

771
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:04,720
Speaker 4: Indians to stop buying Russian oil. One point four billion

772
00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:07,720
Speaker 4: people in India, they need energy. But for President Trump

773
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 4: then to topple Maduro and then say we've got this

774
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 4: energy source in Venezuela. Now get off the addition to

775
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:17,239
Speaker 4: Russian oil, buy it from Venezuela. I mean, that's an

776
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:20,360
Speaker 4: incredible move if we can really pull it off. Tudos

777
00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:22,839
Speaker 4: to the Trump administration and the diplomat to even get

778
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 4: this far, to get this announcement.

779
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:25,080
Speaker 9: It really is remarkable.

780
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:25,440
Speaker 7: Scott.

781
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:28,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it shows the intertwining of energy policy and

782
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 2: national security and diplomacy and how those things work together

783
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:35,040
Speaker 2: for this president. Rebecca, we have about thirty seconds. I

784
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:37,319
Speaker 2: did want to get your comments on Cuba not getting

785
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 2: as much attention right now, but it's obviously under serious

786
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:43,920
Speaker 2: pressure from Washington. Do you think we will see regime

787
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:45,960
Speaker 2: change in Cuba this calendar year?

788
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:48,480
Speaker 9: Obviously that's my hope.

789
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:50,279
Speaker 4: And again getting back to the last thing you talked

790
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:54,920
Speaker 4: about with energy and President Trump. He clearly he understands

791
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:57,960
Speaker 4: that our number one threats are China and Russia. But

792
00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 4: the way he's going about weakening those regis is he's

793
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:03,280
Speaker 4: picking off these weaker countries that have acted as proxies.

794
00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:08,239
Speaker 4: Cuba is a major, major ally of the Russians, and

795
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:12,320
Speaker 4: so so I'm hopeful that with this pressure on Cuba

796
00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:15,319
Speaker 4: and pointing the Cubans to see what happened to Venezuela,

797
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:18,680
Speaker 4: and this administration's dedication to making sure that our hemisphere

798
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:21,960
Speaker 4: is not a playground for our peer adversaries to Chinese

799
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:24,799
Speaker 4: and Russians, I think that we can be bullish on

800
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 4: some progress on Cuba this year.

801
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:26,520
Speaker 7: Scott.

802
00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 2: That voice you're hearing Rebecca Heinrichs, a senior fellow at

803
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:35,160
Speaker 2: Hudson Institute and the National Security correspondent for the Scott

804
00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:37,360
Speaker 2: Jettings Show. Rebecca, thank you for joining us today.

805
00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 4: Always good to be here.

806
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:39,560
Speaker 9: Thanks Scott.

807
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:42,480
Speaker 2: Love hearing your voice. Thank you. By the way, I

808
00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:46,920
Speaker 2: was talking to my dad today, my father, Jeff Jennings,

809
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:48,719
Speaker 2: on his way to Florida. Actually I don't know why

810
00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:50,640
Speaker 2: he's driving down here right now. It's so cold, but

811
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:53,680
Speaker 2: anyway on his way, and you know, he was telling

812
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 2: me how good he was feeling for the trip. Why

813
00:46:57,280 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 2: is my father feeling good because he is a faithful

814
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:05,839
Speaker 2: user of relief Factor. Nobody has embraced this more than

815
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:09,920
Speaker 2: my father. My dad no spring chicken, but he's hopping

816
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:13,160
Speaker 2: around like one, taking his winter trip to Florida. I

817
00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:15,560
Speaker 2: think Relief Factor could work for you as well. Try

818
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:17,879
Speaker 2: their three week quick start. That's all you really need

819
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:21,000
Speaker 2: to do. You call one eight hundred four relief where

820
00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:24,880
Speaker 2: you visit relief factor dot com. Let's see if we

821
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:27,640
Speaker 2: can get you out of pain. It worked for my dad.

822
00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:30,560
Speaker 2: I've taken it works for me. We're getting lots of

823
00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:33,960
Speaker 2: calls and letters. I think I think you should consider

824
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:36,560
Speaker 2: us more when we come back. You're listening to the

825
00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:38,960
Speaker 2: Scott Sheenning Show on Salem, but he's not in.

826
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:39,760
Speaker 6: The Oval office.

827
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:43,279
Speaker 2: Are owning the libs on CNN. He's here with us.

828
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 6: It's the Scott Jennings Show.

829
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:51,879
Speaker 2: And it is Monday, February, the second Scott Sheennings broadcasting

830
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 2: to you live from Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. I've been

831
00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:59,400
Speaker 2: back and forth across the country over the last few days.

832
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:02,720
Speaker 2: Always nice to see my friend here in Palm Beach Gardens.

833
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:07,440
Speaker 2: Mister Curtis Bush of Studio sixty seven does a terrific

834
00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:11,320
Speaker 2: job hosting the Scott Jennings Show, and we are in town.

835
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:14,640
Speaker 2: I've had actually some really good events over the last

836
00:48:14,719 --> 00:48:18,680
Speaker 2: few days. Saturday night, in fact, I was speaking to

837
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:25,120
Speaker 2: several hundred people at the Mojave County Arizona Republican Party

838
00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:28,319
Speaker 2: signed a lot of books out in the desert. I

839
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 2: flew into Vegas and drove through the desert to get

840
00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:38,120
Speaker 2: to the tip of Nevada where it hits Arizona. Mohave County, Arizona,

841
00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:42,560
Speaker 2: the northern part of that state. Some really enthusiastic Republicans

842
00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:46,680
Speaker 2: out there, and I also saw Congressman Paul Gosar as well.

843
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:49,799
Speaker 2: So really fun event Saturday night. Then I got up

844
00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:54,359
Speaker 2: the next morning and flew to Florida, and last night

845
00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:56,799
Speaker 2: in Fort Lauderdale was able to give a speech to

846
00:48:56,880 --> 00:49:00,560
Speaker 2: the Commodity Markets Council. I don't under stand a lot

847
00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:06,200
Speaker 2: about the commodity markets, but that didn't stop me. We

848
00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:09,560
Speaker 2: had a fun dinner nonetheless, and I'm appreciative of the

849
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:12,200
Speaker 2: Commodity Markets guys for heaving me into their State of

850
00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:15,359
Speaker 2: the Industry summit in Fort Lauderdale. It was a really

851
00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:17,839
Speaker 2: great group. Of course, being invited to South Florida when

852
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 2: it's this cold, it's a bit of a betrayal, isn't it?

853
00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:25,640
Speaker 2: And I won't forget it. But I know people across

854
00:49:25,640 --> 00:49:28,680
Speaker 2: the country everywhere, not just in Florida, are feeling the cold.

855
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:33,680
Speaker 2: And because of that, it may be that you are

856
00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:37,440
Speaker 2: thinking about, how do I get to somewhere warmer, How

857
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:40,560
Speaker 2: do I get to How do I at least put

858
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:43,759
Speaker 2: something on my calendar that gives me some hope of

859
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:47,800
Speaker 2: being warm later this year? And I have the answer

860
00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:51,160
Speaker 2: for you. Go ahead and put it on your calendar

861
00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:57,120
Speaker 2: right now, November fourteenth through the twenty first of this year,

862
00:49:57,280 --> 00:50:01,000
Speaker 2: right after the election, so you can vote, vote, and

863
00:50:01,040 --> 00:50:04,400
Speaker 2: then you can do this. Go on the Gulf of

864
00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:11,040
Speaker 2: America cruise with me, yours truly, and also Mike Gallagher

865
00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:14,120
Speaker 2: of Salem. He's going to be there as well. Gallagher

866
00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:19,160
Speaker 2: and Jennings teaming up for a powerful week on the

867
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:23,280
Speaker 2: Gulf of America Cruise November fourteenth through the twenty first.

868
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:26,799
Speaker 2: We are going to visit ports like Half Moon, Key

869
00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:31,719
Speaker 2: and Cosmel. We will enjoy the first class hospitality of

870
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:36,680
Speaker 2: a luxury cruise ship. What will you do while on board, Well,

871
00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:40,320
Speaker 2: we'll have meet and greets, photo ops, Q and A sessions.

872
00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:44,480
Speaker 2: You'll hear some behind the scenes stories that frankly we

873
00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:47,040
Speaker 2: cannot tell you on the air, but we can tell

874
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:50,080
Speaker 2: you privately. On a cruise ship, you'll want to hear it.

875
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:54,479
Speaker 2: You'll get keynote speeches and in depth sessions every day

876
00:50:55,160 --> 00:50:58,279
Speaker 2: as we enjoy real connection with each other, designed to

877
00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:03,279
Speaker 2: strengthen your resolve as a conservative, and also designed to

878
00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:07,920
Speaker 2: strengthen your patriotism. After all, the reason we are doing

879
00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:10,960
Speaker 2: this cruise is in honor of the two hundred and

880
00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:13,719
Speaker 2: fiftieth anniversary of our nation. I think that's going to

881
00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:17,720
Speaker 2: be a theme on the cruise ship America two fifty.

882
00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:20,360
Speaker 2: A lot of people are trying to tear down America

883
00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:25,120
Speaker 2: right now. A lot of celebrities, a lot of Hollywood types,

884
00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:28,719
Speaker 2: a lot of liberals, a lot of people are trying

885
00:51:28,719 --> 00:51:30,799
Speaker 2: to tear down our country. They're trying to tell you

886
00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:34,960
Speaker 2: our country doesn't really exist, that it doesn't really have borders,

887
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:38,040
Speaker 2: that we don't really have laws, that we're all living

888
00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:41,920
Speaker 2: on stolen land in all this nonsense. But I know you,

889
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 2: the listeners of this program, love America. You believe America

890
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:49,160
Speaker 2: is the greatest nation that's ever been created, and you

891
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:51,560
Speaker 2: want to do things to celebrate that. And I cannot

892
00:51:51,640 --> 00:51:54,080
Speaker 2: think of a better thing to do than to put

893
00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:59,040
Speaker 2: this Cruise the America two fifty crews on your November calendar.

894
00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:02,120
Speaker 2: We're going to go in. I'm the Caribbean, and we're

895
00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:05,720
Speaker 2: gonna do it as light minded conservatives who are gonna

896
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:09,200
Speaker 2: commit to strengthen our resolve to protect this country and

897
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:12,400
Speaker 2: fight for what's right and fight for what we believe in.

Speaker 2: you would prefer, visit Scott Jenningsshow dot com. On that

903
00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:36,239
Speaker 2: web page. We have a banner at the top of

904
00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:39,640

906

Speaker 2: are a limited number of slots here, folks. It's a

907
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:49,320
Speaker 2: cruise ship, after all. Limited number of Cabins, but I

908
00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:52,200
Speaker 2: would love to see you there. I'm I am so

909
00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:56,160
Speaker 2: looking forward to this. Gallagher is a riot. He's gonna

00:52:56,160 --> 00:52:59,399
Speaker 2: be amazing. We're gonna ask such a great time. We're

911
00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:03,040
Speaker 2: gonna see great We're gonna have great conversations, and I

912
00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:06,160
Speaker 2: love meeting the listeners of this show and the supporters

913
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:09,239
Speaker 2: of Salem. We're gonna take a break when we come

914
00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:12,280
Speaker 2: back on the front lines of the Battle of Minneapolis.

915
00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:15,960
Speaker 2: Mark Johnson, the Minnesota Senate Republican leader, is here. You

916
00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:18,319
Speaker 2: don't want to miss this conversation. It's common sense for

917
00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:21,840
Speaker 2: the American people on Salem. Stay with us. You know something.

918
00:53:22,040 --> 00:53:25,160
Speaker 2: Universities are kind of a bad deal. Six figures of

919
00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:28,520
Speaker 2: debt for a bachelor's degree. That signals less every year,

920
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:33,160
Speaker 2: four years spent navigating ideological rules instead of learning how

921
00:53:33,160 --> 00:53:38,440
Speaker 2: to think. Grades, inflated standards, lowered, dissent punished. We call

922
00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:42,000
Speaker 2: it higher education, but it's mostly expensive daycare with a

923
00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:47,080
Speaker 2: credential attached. The University of Austin, also known as UATX,

924
00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:51,600
Speaker 2: is different, however. Admissions at UATX are based on test

925
00:53:51,640 --> 00:53:55,920
Speaker 2: scores alone. No essays, no resumes, nobody cares who your

926
00:53:55,960 --> 00:53:59,960
Speaker 2: parents know. If you're smart enough, you're in UATX student

927
00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:04,040
Speaker 2: turned down U Chicago and fled Barnard to complete a

928
00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:10,000
Speaker 2: demanding great books core including Aristotle, Shakespeare to Tokville, alongside

929
00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:15,640
Speaker 2: real math, science, economics, and AI. Classes are small. Professors

930
00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:19,680
Speaker 2: actually know your name. Grades aren't padded. Excellence is measured

931
00:54:19,719 --> 00:54:24,759
Speaker 2: and rewarded from day one. Students work directly with top founders, investors,

932
00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:31,120
Speaker 2: and institutions, building companies, doing serious research, and landing real internships.

933
00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:35,120
Speaker 2: Then here's the part that changes everything. There is no tuition.

934
00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:40,720
Speaker 2: Thanks to private donors. Every UATX student graduates debt free.

935
00:54:41,239 --> 00:54:44,080
Speaker 2: You're free to take risks, free to start companies, and

936
00:54:44,160 --> 00:54:47,800
Speaker 2: free to build a life instead of paying off loans.

937
00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:51,279
Speaker 2: If you want an empty credential, look elsewhere. If you

938
00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:54,719
Speaker 2: want a serious education that actually prepares you to lead,

939
00:54:55,160 --> 00:54:59,439
Speaker 2: apply to the University of Austin. Visit Uustin dot org.

940
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:02,319
Speaker 2: That's you, Austin dot org.

941
00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:09,160
Speaker 6: Saving Western civilization. One busted leftist narrative at a time.

942
00:55:09,680 --> 00:55:12,719
Speaker 6: It's the Scott Jenny Show, and it.

943
00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:16,000
Speaker 2: Is Monday, February second. You know, one of the narratives

944
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:19,600
Speaker 2: that's being pushed in the media right now, is that

945
00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:25,400
Speaker 2: enforcing our immigration laws is somehow unpopular, and that what

946
00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:30,479
Speaker 2: Governor Tim Walls and honorary Somali Pirate Mayor Jacob Fry

947
00:55:30,560 --> 00:55:34,799
Speaker 2: of Minneapolis are doing somehow has popular support, or rather

948
00:55:34,880 --> 00:55:37,880
Speaker 2: I should say what they're not doing. Here's the latest

949
00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:43,000
Speaker 2: Minnesota poll. The question was should state and local authorities

950
00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:47,080
Speaker 2: help with immigration enforcement? The issue here is lack of cooperation.

951
00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:51,640
Speaker 2: We've been talking about that for weeks. The answer, fifty

952
00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:54,840
Speaker 2: percent of people in Minnesota said yes, they should cooperate,

953
00:55:54,880 --> 00:55:58,640
Speaker 2: they should help with immigration enforcement. Only thirty six percent

954
00:55:58,760 --> 00:56:03,160
Speaker 2: said no, we should not cooperate. I think the Democrats

955
00:56:03,320 --> 00:56:08,279
Speaker 2: are out over their skis in Minnesota and elsewhere as

956
00:56:08,320 --> 00:56:12,040
Speaker 2: they prevent cooperation with federal law enforcement. To discuss all

957
00:56:12,080 --> 00:56:14,360
Speaker 2: of this with me as someone who is on the

958
00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:17,160
Speaker 2: front line of this battle in Minnesota, his name is

959
00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:22,160
Speaker 2: Mark Johnson. He is the Senate Republican leader in the

960
00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:26,759
Speaker 2: state of Minnesota. Senator Johnson represents Senate District one. I

961
00:56:26,760 --> 00:56:30,200
Speaker 2: think up in the northwest corner of the state. Senator Johnson,

962
00:56:30,600 --> 00:56:32,120
Speaker 2: Welcome into the Scott Jenning Show.

963
00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:35,600
Speaker 13: Hey, Scott, thank you so much for having me on.

964
00:56:36,120 --> 00:56:39,000
Speaker 13: I really appreciate opportunity to get on and talk a

965
00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:41,319
Speaker 13: little bit about what is going on here in the

966
00:56:41,320 --> 00:56:43,799
Speaker 13: state of Minnesota. We've been making some happenes lately.

967
00:56:44,520 --> 00:56:46,479
Speaker 2: You know, I assume when you ran for the state

968
00:56:46,560 --> 00:56:49,600
Speaker 2: Senate and became the Senate Republican leader, you didn't imagine

969
00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:51,800
Speaker 2: your state was going to be in the national news

970
00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:55,200
Speaker 2: for all the wrong reasons on a daily basis. But

971
00:56:55,320 --> 00:56:58,280
Speaker 2: yet here you are as you hear these poll results,

972
00:56:58,840 --> 00:57:02,640
Speaker 2: half fifty percent say yes, cooperate, thirty six percent say no.

973
00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:06,520
Speaker 2: Does that match what you're hearing on the ground from

974
00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:09,799
Speaker 2: your constituents and other people in Minnesota.

975
00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:11,760
Speaker 11: That's a great question.

976
00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:14,279
Speaker 13: You look at Minnesota and it's a lot like other

977
00:57:14,360 --> 00:57:16,520
Speaker 13: states where there's a little bit of blue and a

978
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:19,240
Speaker 13: lot of red. In my district, I think you'd find

979
00:57:19,360 --> 00:57:25,479
Speaker 13: overwhelmingly support for cooperation between law enforcement and our federal

980
00:57:25,560 --> 00:57:28,760
Speaker 13: law enforcement friends. But what you see down in Minneapolis

981
00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:33,200
Speaker 13: and Saint Paul is a real effort to undercut federal law.

982
00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:36,480
Speaker 13: And that's going on through the protests, through aggravating the

983
00:57:37,080 --> 00:57:41,320
Speaker 13: operations that Metro Surge is trying to accomplish down there

984
00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:44,960
Speaker 13: in the state. So it's really become quite a hot

985
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:46,920
Speaker 13: spot down in the metro, but I think most of

986
00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:50,240
Speaker 13: the rural Minnesota feels very strongly we should be cooperating.

987
00:57:51,720 --> 00:57:55,760
Speaker 2: So when you hear Governor Walls and you hear honorary

988
00:57:55,840 --> 00:57:59,160
Speaker 2: Somali pirate Jacob Frye say we're not going to cooperate,

989
00:57:59,640 --> 00:58:01,960
Speaker 2: fry really, I think has been the worst defender here.

990
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:06,240
Speaker 2: He has been strident in his opposition to not cooperate.

991
00:58:06,320 --> 00:58:08,680
Speaker 2: Of course, Walls I think has been the worst defender

992
00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:10,880
Speaker 2: when it comes to rhetoric. He's out here saying that

993
00:58:11,200 --> 00:58:14,640
Speaker 2: Minneapolis is a modern day Fort Sumter. When you hear

994
00:58:14,760 --> 00:58:18,800
Speaker 2: fry and you hear Walls, how do you respond to that?

995
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:23,440
Speaker 2: As the Senate Republican leader, I assume you are recoiling

996
00:58:23,520 --> 00:58:27,400
Speaker 2: from this rhetoric. This doesn't really I think represent Minnesota values,

997
00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:29,640
Speaker 2: does it.

998
00:58:29,640 --> 00:58:32,959
Speaker 13: It's really been a turn with Democrats and they're talking point.

999
00:58:33,080 --> 00:58:36,200
Speaker 13: If you look through press releases in their talking points,

1000
00:58:36,520 --> 00:58:39,600
Speaker 13: it's this hardcore language with a lot of swearing in

1001
00:58:39,760 --> 00:58:43,000
Speaker 13: and make them sound so tough. But the reality is

1002
00:58:43,240 --> 00:58:45,240
Speaker 13: Minnesota is known for Minnesota nice.

1003
00:58:45,360 --> 00:58:45,560
Speaker 2: Right.

1004
00:58:46,680 --> 00:58:49,240
Speaker 13: The priority is to get along with each other and

1005
00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:53,360
Speaker 13: do that. Once we elected Governor Walls and a g Ellison.

1006
00:58:53,320 --> 00:58:54,080
Speaker 11: They may fried.

1007
00:58:54,560 --> 00:58:58,120
Speaker 13: It's really turned into this whole toxic sort of DC

1008
00:58:58,360 --> 00:59:02,120
Speaker 13: politics in this state. It has run pretty strong eight

1009
00:59:02,200 --> 00:59:03,400
Speaker 13: years since Scovertar has been there.

1010
00:59:04,760 --> 00:59:06,800
Speaker 2: That voice you're hearing on the Scott Jttings show that

1011
00:59:06,920 --> 00:59:11,200
Speaker 2: of Senator Mark Johnson. He is the Minnesota Senate Republican leader,

1012
00:59:11,320 --> 00:59:14,440
Speaker 2: so he's the one fighting Governor Tim Walls and Mayor

1013
00:59:14,680 --> 00:59:19,120
Speaker 2: Jacob Fry and the other liberals in Minneapolis on a

1014
00:59:19,320 --> 00:59:22,919
Speaker 2: regular basis. Senator, where do you think this all ends?

1015
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:26,640
Speaker 2: The White House has been pretty clear they want cooperation,

1016
00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:29,160
Speaker 2: they'd like to take illegal immigrants out of the jails.

1017
00:59:29,160 --> 00:59:32,520
Speaker 2: They wouldn't. They don't really want all these ICE agents,

1018
00:59:32,560 --> 00:59:34,920
Speaker 2: I think on the ground in Minneapolis. The only reason

1019
00:59:34,920 --> 00:59:38,600
Speaker 2: they're there is because they can't get cooperation in the jails.

1020
00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:41,640
Speaker 2: Do you think there is any chance whatsoever that these

1021
00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:44,880
Speaker 2: Democrats in Minneapolis come to their senses and say, you

1022
00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:47,840
Speaker 2: know what, yes, we will cooperate, and that way you

1023
00:59:47,840 --> 00:59:50,760
Speaker 2: can ramp down the ICE presence in Minneapolis.

1024
00:59:52,080 --> 00:59:55,280
Speaker 13: That's the frustrated part is it's so simple. From the

1025
00:59:55,400 --> 00:59:58,240
Speaker 13: very beginning, this had a very simple solution to it,

1026
00:59:58,800 --> 01:00:01,040
Speaker 13: and other states have figured ou out how to do that.

1027
01:00:01,680 --> 01:00:05,720
Speaker 13: Unfortunately Minnesota. You know, with Governor Wallas and a g Ellison,

1028
01:00:06,440 --> 01:00:08,800
Speaker 13: you know, they've really made it their their mark, and

1029
01:00:08,800 --> 01:00:11,320
Speaker 13: their key is to fight back and make it look

1030
01:00:11,360 --> 01:00:15,360
Speaker 13: like they're fighting for some cause. But it's the wrong cause,

1031
01:00:15,720 --> 01:00:19,120
Speaker 13: and we are really paying the price, both financially and

1032
01:00:19,720 --> 01:00:22,080
Speaker 13: just the atmosphere of the state as well. You know,

1033
01:00:22,200 --> 01:00:25,800
Speaker 13: with the vitriol that's going on, splitting up the state

1034
01:00:25,840 --> 01:00:29,600
Speaker 13: the way that is, it's really become a very difficult,

1035
01:00:29,840 --> 01:00:31,600
Speaker 13: difficult environment in Minnesota.

1036
01:00:32,840 --> 01:00:36,560
Speaker 2: Senator, I saw some video today of people in Minneapolis.

1037
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:38,640
Speaker 2: I guess I don't know who I don't know where

1038
01:00:38,640 --> 01:00:40,160
Speaker 2: they're from, and I don't know who they are, but

1039
01:00:40,360 --> 01:00:45,800
Speaker 2: just random people setting up barricades and blockade checkpoints on

1040
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:48,880
Speaker 2: streets where they're basically you pull up to the barricade

1041
01:00:49,400 --> 01:00:53,200
Speaker 2: and then they run your license plate through some sort

1042
01:00:53,240 --> 01:00:55,400
Speaker 2: of a check to make sure you're not with ice

1043
01:00:55,520 --> 01:00:59,040
Speaker 2: before they will let you pass. Can you explain to

1044
01:00:59,080 --> 01:01:01,400
Speaker 2: me how in the world this is being allowed, how

1045
01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:04,240
Speaker 2: in the world this is legal, and is there anything

1046
01:01:04,320 --> 01:01:08,320
Speaker 2: legislatively that can be done to make it clear that

1047
01:01:08,760 --> 01:01:11,040
Speaker 2: random people don't have the right to stop you and

1048
01:01:11,080 --> 01:01:17,439
Speaker 2: run your license plate when you're driving around Minnesota.

1049
01:01:15,560 --> 01:01:17,840
Speaker 13: You're right. And we saw something similar to that during

1050
01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:21,320
Speaker 13: the George Floyd protests when the city really turned into

1051
01:01:21,400 --> 01:01:26,160
Speaker 13: just anarchy in Minneapolis and parts of its parts of

1052
01:01:26,200 --> 01:01:30,120
Speaker 13: Saint Paul. We're seeing that again now and clearly that's illegal.

1053
01:01:30,680 --> 01:01:34,439
Speaker 13: It's it's violating many statutes and just local ordinances on that.

1054
01:01:34,880 --> 01:01:37,560
Speaker 13: But we have such weak leadership in this state when

1055
01:01:37,600 --> 01:01:41,320
Speaker 13: it comes to Mayor Fry, with Walls as well too,

1056
01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:43,920
Speaker 13: that they're not willing to stand up and do the

1057
01:01:43,960 --> 01:01:48,440
Speaker 13: right thing and enforce the law that needs to be enforced. So,

1058
01:01:49,080 --> 01:01:50,760
Speaker 13: you know, I don't know what's going to take. I

1059
01:01:50,800 --> 01:01:53,200
Speaker 13: think it's going to take some new leadership at the

1060
01:01:53,280 --> 01:01:56,200
Speaker 13: end of the day. But unfortunately elections not until November,

1061
01:01:56,600 --> 01:01:59,640
Speaker 13: and our mainstream media in the state is doing a

1062
01:01:59,720 --> 01:02:03,520
Speaker 13: great job of covering up the tracks of Fry and

1063
01:02:03,760 --> 01:02:07,280
Speaker 13: Ellison and Walls himself, and so it's going to be

1064
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:10,200
Speaker 13: a battle that we're going to have to fight until November.

1065
01:02:11,200 --> 01:02:13,200
Speaker 2: It's amazing to me that these people can run these

1066
01:02:13,200 --> 01:02:15,880
Speaker 2: illegal checkpoints and yet you never see the cops come by.

1067
01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:18,360
Speaker 2: I I mean, it looks like they have been ordered

1068
01:02:18,360 --> 01:02:21,840
Speaker 2: to stand down when it comes to stopping these radicals

1069
01:02:21,840 --> 01:02:24,240
Speaker 2: on the streets of Minneapolis. I hope that's not true,

1070
01:02:24,240 --> 01:02:27,280
Speaker 2: but that's what it appears to an outside observer. You

1071
01:02:27,360 --> 01:02:29,960
Speaker 2: reference the Minnesota media. They've also done, I think a

1072
01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:34,360
Speaker 2: great job of covering up the massive fraud scandal that's

1073
01:02:34,360 --> 01:02:37,040
Speaker 2: going on in Minneapolis. In fact, I'm going to play

1074
01:02:37,040 --> 01:02:40,360
Speaker 2: for you a clip, Senator Johnson of your Governor Walls

1075
01:02:41,000 --> 01:02:43,240
Speaker 2: who says all this fraud that we know about was

1076
01:02:43,280 --> 01:02:45,680
Speaker 2: just made up. Let's hear cut eight mention.

1077
01:02:45,600 --> 01:02:47,439
Speaker 7: This froud investigation and the reason that they're here.

1078
01:02:47,520 --> 01:02:49,360
Speaker 10: Is there anything you think when you look back, you

1079
01:02:49,360 --> 01:02:51,520
Speaker 10: could have done differently to prevent them from showing up

1080
01:02:51,520 --> 01:02:52,520
Speaker 10: and doing what they're doing here.

1081
01:02:52,680 --> 01:02:54,280
Speaker 11: No, no, they were coming anyway.

1082
01:02:54,640 --> 01:02:56,520
Speaker 10: This was it was all make believe that we've been

1083
01:02:56,560 --> 01:02:58,800
Speaker 10: at it. Every state had this, and look, I do

1084
01:02:58,840 --> 01:03:00,760
Speaker 10: think there has to be a on a bility in this.

1085
01:03:01,200 --> 01:03:03,520
Speaker 10: No one in state government was implicated. And this happens

1086
01:03:03,560 --> 01:03:06,960
Speaker 10: all over. People did this. You know, we got it, caught,

1087
01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:08,080
Speaker 10: we put him in jail or whatever.

1088
01:03:09,240 --> 01:03:11,360
Speaker 2: Okay, he first said it was all make believe, but

1089
01:03:11,400 --> 01:03:13,760
Speaker 2: then he said it happens everywhere. And then he said

1090
01:03:13,800 --> 01:03:17,080
Speaker 2: some people went to jail. Senator Johnson, for the record,

1091
01:03:17,840 --> 01:03:21,480
Speaker 2: was there a massive fraud going on against the taxpayers

1092
01:03:21,520 --> 01:03:25,000
Speaker 2: of Minnesota on a number of fronts? Hey, can you

1093
01:03:25,040 --> 01:03:28,080
Speaker 2: confirm that? And b do you believe people in state

1094
01:03:28,120 --> 01:03:31,600
Speaker 2: government have been implicated, should be implicated and should go

1095
01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:32,080
Speaker 2: to jail.

1096
01:03:33,880 --> 01:03:39,080
Speaker 13: Scott, Absolutely, there is fraud here. The prosecutor Joe Thompson

1097
01:03:39,480 --> 01:03:43,560
Speaker 13: has charged our well over seventy two cases on this

1098
01:03:43,720 --> 01:03:47,360
Speaker 13: particular item itself, just on the fraud of Minnesota. These

1099
01:03:47,520 --> 01:03:51,200
Speaker 13: estimating somewhere around the realm of nine billion dollars. Now,

1100
01:03:51,240 --> 01:03:55,520
Speaker 13: this is from a prosecutor. This isn't political bias, discussion

1101
01:03:55,800 --> 01:03:59,120
Speaker 13: or talking points. This is reality in the state. And

1102
01:03:59,200 --> 01:04:01,640
Speaker 13: for the governor to go and try to change what

1103
01:04:01,680 --> 01:04:04,800
Speaker 13: the truth is with something like this, I hope every

1104
01:04:04,840 --> 01:04:08,680
Speaker 13: Minnesota gets a chance to see this clip. This is

1105
01:04:08,760 --> 01:04:12,400
Speaker 13: just it should make people irate on what they're doing

1106
01:04:12,440 --> 01:04:15,280
Speaker 13: to using people as ponds. Of course, there is fraud

1107
01:04:15,320 --> 01:04:17,800
Speaker 13: going on in this state. Of course Governor Walls knew

1108
01:04:17,840 --> 01:04:19,880
Speaker 13: about it, but he let it go for at least

1109
01:04:19,920 --> 01:04:23,960
Speaker 13: eight years. And so this just bringing me over the

1110
01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:27,040
Speaker 13: top on something like this. It should not be happening

1111
01:04:27,080 --> 01:04:27,920
Speaker 13: here in this state.

1112
01:04:28,840 --> 01:04:32,040
Speaker 2: And to be clear. This fraud is happening in state government,

1113
01:04:32,160 --> 01:04:35,040
Speaker 2: it is happening in the medicaid program. Ultimately, it is

1114
01:04:35,080 --> 01:04:38,480
Speaker 2: the governor and the executive branch that is responsible for

1115
01:04:38,560 --> 01:04:42,080
Speaker 2: the medicaid program. And for Tim Walls to wipe it away, well,

1116
01:04:42,440 --> 01:04:44,760
Speaker 2: I'll just tell you it's been my contention and others

1117
01:04:45,240 --> 01:04:47,240
Speaker 2: that one of the reasons you're seeing all of this

1118
01:04:47,360 --> 01:04:51,400
Speaker 2: stoking up of these radical protests over immigration enforcement was

1119
01:04:51,480 --> 01:04:55,640
Speaker 2: to take people's attention away from the fraud scandal. Remember

1120
01:04:55,720 --> 01:04:58,800
Speaker 2: this scandal. If it were make believe Tim Walls would

1121
01:04:58,800 --> 01:05:02,480
Speaker 2: not have abandoned his reelection campaign. That's number one, and

1122
01:05:02,600 --> 01:05:06,080
Speaker 2: number two, he clearly doesn't want responsibility for it because,

1123
01:05:06,080 --> 01:05:07,760
Speaker 2: as you say, and I think you're right, he just

1124
01:05:07,800 --> 01:05:09,840
Speaker 2: completely looked the other way. And in fact, there's some

1125
01:05:09,880 --> 01:05:13,120
Speaker 2: whistleblowers right senator and state government that say they were

1126
01:05:13,160 --> 01:05:14,440
Speaker 2: punished for raising issues.

1127
01:05:15,440 --> 01:05:20,240
Speaker 13: Oh, you're absolutely right, You're absolutely right on all accounts there,

1128
01:05:20,680 --> 01:05:22,920
Speaker 13: and then you go back to like, well, okay, if

1129
01:05:22,920 --> 01:05:25,800
Speaker 13: he's head of those agencies, you should also be holding

1130
01:05:25,840 --> 01:05:28,800
Speaker 13: those agencies accountable. And like you said, you brought that

1131
01:05:28,840 --> 01:05:32,120
Speaker 13: point up, he's not. There's nobody in the agencies that

1132
01:05:32,120 --> 01:05:35,280
Speaker 13: have been fired on the record, fired for the fraud,

1133
01:05:35,320 --> 01:05:38,960
Speaker 13: for the incompetence that has happened there. Clearly they have

1134
01:05:39,080 --> 01:05:41,200
Speaker 13: looked the other way as fraud is going on. They

1135
01:05:41,200 --> 01:05:44,320
Speaker 13: had the responsibility to go and show up at these

1136
01:05:44,640 --> 01:05:48,240
Speaker 13: daycare centers, at these clinics and different things to make

1137
01:05:48,280 --> 01:05:51,160
Speaker 13: sure that the taxpayer dollars were being used for those

1138
01:05:51,240 --> 01:05:54,120
Speaker 13: services for those who needed it, and yet they were

1139
01:05:54,160 --> 01:05:58,760
Speaker 13: not showing up. There's empty buildings with mailboxes outside or

1140
01:05:58,920 --> 01:06:02,600
Speaker 13: leering center signs on the outside, and that's what we

1141
01:06:02,600 --> 01:06:05,040
Speaker 13: were paying millions and millions of dollars that should have

1142
01:06:05,040 --> 01:06:08,600
Speaker 13: been going to veterans or schools or those in need

1143
01:06:08,680 --> 01:06:12,840
Speaker 13: that needed those programs. And so for the governor to simply,

1144
01:06:13,520 --> 01:06:16,520
Speaker 13: you know, be complist in these protest things, you know,

1145
01:06:16,680 --> 01:06:20,320
Speaker 13: really stoking things up, it's pretty politically convenient for them

1146
01:06:20,400 --> 01:06:22,560
Speaker 13: right now to have this going on in the state.

1147
01:06:23,800 --> 01:06:26,800
Speaker 2: Senator, we've got about thirty seconds left. Are you or

1148
01:06:27,120 --> 01:06:30,080
Speaker 2: are other senators, our people in the legislature in touch

1149
01:06:30,160 --> 01:06:33,720
Speaker 2: with the federal government still about turning over information that

1150
01:06:33,760 --> 01:06:37,120
Speaker 2: you have uncovered about the fraud? Are you providing them

1151
01:06:37,120 --> 01:06:39,200
Speaker 2: with information and do you think we're going to see

1152
01:06:39,200 --> 01:06:42,240
Speaker 2: more indictments and more to come from the Feds and

1153
01:06:42,280 --> 01:06:45,400
Speaker 2: holding people accountable in Minnesota.

1154
01:06:45,720 --> 01:06:48,120
Speaker 13: There are a number of sources, Scott, that are working

1155
01:06:48,160 --> 01:06:49,800
Speaker 13: on that right now. We have the Office of the

1156
01:06:50,000 --> 01:06:54,120
Speaker 13: Legislative Coordinator there that that's working on getting some information over.

1157
01:06:54,600 --> 01:06:57,200
Speaker 13: Our House partners are doing a great job of getting

1158
01:06:57,200 --> 01:07:00,640
Speaker 13: that information over, and we've got several leads within our

1159
01:07:00,680 --> 01:07:04,400
Speaker 13: caucus itself that's working on that information too. So, yes,

1160
01:07:04,480 --> 01:07:07,800
Speaker 13: there is information being flown up to the federal side

1161
01:07:07,800 --> 01:07:10,439
Speaker 13: of things, and hopefully we're going to see that pick

1162
01:07:10,520 --> 01:07:13,280
Speaker 13: up again as we crack down on the fraud in Minnesota.

1163
01:07:14,120 --> 01:07:17,960
Speaker 2: Senator Mark Johnson, he is the Republican Senate leader in Minnesota.

1164
01:07:18,040 --> 01:07:20,440
Speaker 2: We really appreciate your time. Thanks for joining us today.

1165
01:07:21,320 --> 01:07:23,120
Speaker 11: Hey, thanks so much, Scott, appreciate it.

1166
01:07:23,480 --> 01:07:25,800
Speaker 2: All right, talk soon, my friend. I want to talk

1167
01:07:25,840 --> 01:07:28,520
Speaker 2: to you, by the way, about your wireless service. Here's

1168
01:07:28,520 --> 01:07:31,400
Speaker 2: what you don't know. There is actually a wireless company

1169
01:07:31,400 --> 01:07:34,520
Speaker 2: that you can choose that shares your values and in fact,

1170
01:07:34,560 --> 01:07:38,120
Speaker 2: they invest in your values. I met these guys recently.

1171
01:07:38,160 --> 01:07:41,520
Speaker 2: I couldn't have been more impressed. They run Patriot Mobile.

1172
01:07:41,840 --> 01:07:44,160
Speaker 2: They are more than just a wireless provider. They are

1173
01:07:44,200 --> 01:07:48,040
Speaker 2: an activist organization that is funded by selling top tier

1174
01:07:48,160 --> 01:07:52,800
Speaker 2: cell phone service. They do deliver prioritized premium service on

1175
01:07:52,880 --> 01:07:56,160
Speaker 2: all three major US networks. You'll get the same or

1176
01:07:56,200 --> 01:07:59,280
Speaker 2: even better coverage when you switch. And they do have

1177
01:07:59,400 --> 01:08:03,720
Speaker 2: unlimited beta plans, mobile hotspots, and international roaming. Everything you

1178
01:08:03,880 --> 01:08:07,080
Speaker 2: need Patriot Mobile has. And I'll tell you what they

1179
01:08:07,160 --> 01:08:12,880
Speaker 2: also have is a willingness to fuel the Christian conservative cause.

1180
01:08:12,960 --> 01:08:16,559

1186
01:08:35,720 --> 01:08:39,360
Speaker 2: some fraud and the African Development Foundation. We have that story.

1187
01:08:39,360 --> 01:08:41,920
Speaker 6: Next, fighting the left with the best weapon, we have

1188

1189
01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:50,320
Speaker 2: Home stretch here on Monday, February second, Common sense for

1190
01:08:50,360 --> 01:08:53,960
Speaker 2: the American people. Scott Jennings is with you, following up

1191
01:08:53,960 --> 01:08:56,880
Speaker 2: on a story. You know, back in the Doge days,

1192
01:08:56,920 --> 01:08:59,640
Speaker 2: the early days of Trump two point zero, there was

1193
01:08:59,640 --> 01:09:02,479
Speaker 2: a lot of investigations going on by Doge of some

1194
01:09:02,600 --> 01:09:05,920
Speaker 2: of these NGOs that were linked to the foreign aid

1195
01:09:06,040 --> 01:09:11,120
Speaker 2: industrial complex. One of them was called the African Development Foundation,

1196
01:09:11,360 --> 01:09:14,679
Speaker 2: and Doge went over there and they locked the doors

1197
01:09:14,720 --> 01:09:17,240
Speaker 2: and Doge was kept out, and they were held up

1198
01:09:17,320 --> 01:09:23,320
Speaker 2: as a symbol of the resistance they were fighting against Doge. Well,

1199
01:09:23,320 --> 01:09:27,920
Speaker 2: it turns out that the African Development Foundation CFO has

1200
01:09:27,960 --> 01:09:32,400
Speaker 2: now admitted that he routed money to a friend's African

1201
01:09:32,520 --> 01:09:37,880
Speaker 2: pass through organization in exchange for kickbacks, and he has

1202
01:09:37,960 --> 01:09:41,120
Speaker 2: pled guilty to all this. On the story, joining us,

1203
01:09:41,240 --> 01:09:46,320
Speaker 2: Luke Rosiak is an investigative reporter at The Daily Wire. Luke,

1204
01:09:46,479 --> 01:09:51,080
Speaker 2: your team has been following this story since day one.

1205
01:09:51,360 --> 01:09:56,000
Speaker 2: Tell us about the saga of the African Development Foundation, which,

1206
01:09:56,000 --> 01:09:58,920
Speaker 2: as it turns out, was corrupt. Correct.

1207
01:10:00,080 --> 01:10:02,400
Speaker 7: Correct, Thank you for having me, Scott. So it's actually

1208
01:10:02,400 --> 01:10:05,599
Speaker 7: not an NNGO, it's a GEO. This is an agent

1209
01:10:05,680 --> 01:10:09,160
Speaker 7: I got, a federal agency despite the name having foundation

1210
01:10:09,280 --> 01:10:11,120
Speaker 7: in it, it's a government agency kind of like the

1211
01:10:11,160 --> 01:10:16,960
Speaker 7: little brother of USAID. And nonetheless, its employees for some reason,

1212
01:10:17,040 --> 01:10:20,320
Speaker 7: felt that they didn't have to recognize that Trump administration

1213
01:10:20,600 --> 01:10:24,320
Speaker 7: was in charge of the country, and so they locked

1214
01:10:24,320 --> 01:10:27,240
Speaker 7: the doors. And you know, this was at the time

1215
01:10:27,280 --> 01:10:31,040
Speaker 7: Elon was saying, you know, if people resist Doge audits,

1216
01:10:31,040 --> 01:10:33,840
Speaker 7: it's probably because they have something to hide. But other

1217
01:10:33,880 --> 01:10:40,040
Speaker 7: people like Democrat Senator Brian Schatz, said that they were heroic.

1218
01:10:40,120 --> 01:10:42,800
Speaker 7: I mean, they were the David fighting against the goliath.

1219
01:10:43,280 --> 01:10:45,600
Speaker 7: The left wing media called it the Little Agency that

1220
01:10:45,760 --> 01:10:49,520
Speaker 7: Could because they were resisting Doge and the Trump administration

1221
01:10:49,680 --> 01:10:53,120
Speaker 7: so hard. But around that time, back in May, I

1222
01:10:53,160 --> 01:10:55,040
Speaker 7: did a very long story, sort of like a five

1223
01:10:55,080 --> 01:10:59,400
Speaker 7: thousand word expose that got into how corrupt this agency is.

1224
01:11:00,040 --> 01:11:01,640
Speaker 7: And I talked to a whole lot of people that

1225
01:11:01,760 --> 01:11:05,640
Speaker 7: worked there, all of whom you probably vote for Democrats

1226
01:11:05,640 --> 01:11:08,719
Speaker 7: in their personal lives, and joined to support the mission

1227
01:11:08,760 --> 01:11:11,240
Speaker 7: of helping poor people in Africa. But what they found

1228
01:11:11,320 --> 01:11:14,080
Speaker 7: when they started working there is it wasn't doing anything

1229
01:11:14,120 --> 01:11:18,680
Speaker 7: of the sort. It was just sort of an agency

1230
01:11:18,760 --> 01:11:25,320
Speaker 7: that existed to let a bunch of bureaucrats funnel money

1231
01:11:25,479 --> 01:11:29,920
Speaker 7: to themselves. And I laid out several instances where they

1232
01:11:29,920 --> 01:11:34,040
Speaker 7: would give money to some African group, but then they

1233
01:11:34,080 --> 01:11:37,160
Speaker 7: would make the African group give some of it back.

1234
01:11:37,280 --> 01:11:39,800
Speaker 7: And so it's kind of exactly what people were speculating

1235
01:11:39,840 --> 01:11:42,400
Speaker 7: what was happening with USA, where the money goes out

1236
01:11:42,400 --> 01:11:43,800
Speaker 7: the door and it looks like it's going to some

1237
01:11:43,840 --> 01:11:45,920
Speaker 7: poor country, but it's really just going to a bunch

1238
01:11:45,920 --> 01:11:47,880
Speaker 7: of people that live and besides the Maryland and things

1239
01:11:47,920 --> 01:11:50,880
Speaker 7: like that, And so this wasn't speculation in this case.

1240
01:11:50,920 --> 01:11:54,600
Speaker 7: I was able to show it. And one of the

1241
01:11:54,600 --> 01:11:58,679
Speaker 7: things that I found was actually a search warrant during

1242
01:11:58,680 --> 01:12:01,880
Speaker 7: the Biden administration on the CFO or the agency, a

1243
01:12:01,880 --> 01:12:04,719
Speaker 7: guy named Matthew Zahu. And so what happened this week

1244
01:12:04,840 --> 01:12:07,759
Speaker 7: is the wheels of justice turned slowly, but they finally

1245
01:12:08,520 --> 01:12:12,240
Speaker 7: charged him and he pleaded guilty. But in between times,

1246
01:12:12,280 --> 01:12:15,320
Speaker 7: what's really interesting is these left wing groups were suing

1247
01:12:15,720 --> 01:12:18,080
Speaker 7: to try to get an injunction from a judge that

1248
01:12:18,160 --> 01:12:22,599
Speaker 7: would block Trumps people from being in charge and put

1249
01:12:22,600 --> 01:12:24,600
Speaker 7: in charge of this guy that just bleeded guilty. And

1250
01:12:24,640 --> 01:12:26,840
Speaker 7: they did that even after they knew he was under

1251
01:12:26,840 --> 01:12:29,439
Speaker 7: criminal investigation, at least if they read the Daily Wire.

1252
01:12:30,280 --> 01:12:32,360
Speaker 2: All right, this is blowing my mind, and I need

1253
01:12:32,400 --> 01:12:35,120
Speaker 2: to correct myself. It's not an NGO, as you pointed out,

1254
01:12:35,160 --> 01:12:39,000
Speaker 2: the African Development Foundation is a government agency. So your

1255
01:12:39,040 --> 01:12:42,880
Speaker 2: tax dollars fund this the CFO is a guy named

1256
01:12:42,880 --> 01:12:46,640
Speaker 2: Matthew Zayhu. He is the ring leader of all this,

1257
01:12:46,920 --> 01:12:50,200
Speaker 2: and you had left wing lawyers in d C manipulating

1258
01:12:50,240 --> 01:12:52,720
Speaker 2: the law to try to protect him. But what you're

1259
01:12:52,760 --> 01:12:57,120
Speaker 2: saying is we were passing through US tax money to

1260
01:12:57,200 --> 01:13:01,120
Speaker 2: these other things going on in Africa African and the

1261
01:13:01,200 --> 01:13:04,640
Speaker 2: CFO was demanding personal kickbacks. And that's what he is

1262
01:13:04,680 --> 01:13:08,080
Speaker 2: going to plead guilty, right, He's taking bribes. This is

1263
01:13:08,120 --> 01:13:10,920
Speaker 2: what the guilty plea is correct.

1264
01:13:11,000 --> 01:13:14,280
Speaker 7: And there's one particular instance that the guilty please centers on,

1265
01:13:14,479 --> 01:13:19,200
Speaker 7: But in my story it talks about several instances where

1266
01:13:19,320 --> 01:13:22,400
Speaker 7: a similar dynamic took place, and it also extended beyond

1267
01:13:22,560 --> 01:13:25,280
Speaker 7: just the CFO. And it's sort of a story of

1268
01:13:25,320 --> 01:13:29,680
Speaker 7: whistle bow and retaliation because a few years ago their

1269
01:13:29,760 --> 01:13:33,840
Speaker 7: general counsel began calling attention to the fact that they

1270
01:13:33,880 --> 01:13:36,599
Speaker 7: were violating all sorts of laws, and they wound up

1271
01:13:36,680 --> 01:13:39,960
Speaker 7: pushing him out and sort of viciously retaliating against him.

1272
01:13:40,360 --> 01:13:43,360
Speaker 7: And so for years this guy was trying to call

1273
01:13:43,439 --> 01:13:46,200
Speaker 7: attention to what was going on. And Senator Rish a

1274
01:13:46,280 --> 01:13:49,240
Speaker 7: Republican who's in charge of on the Foreign Affairs Committee,

1275
01:13:49,280 --> 01:13:51,400
Speaker 7: he said, look if you guys don't clean up the act,

1276
01:13:51,479 --> 01:13:53,720
Speaker 7: people are going to lose faith in all foreign aid

1277
01:13:53,800 --> 01:13:54,960
Speaker 7: and we don't like that to happen.

1278
01:13:56,000 --> 01:14:00,479
Speaker 2: Luke, you're exactly right. Everybody needs to read this story. Rosiak.

1279
01:14:00,600 --> 01:14:02,800
Speaker 2: You can get it at the Daily Wire. There is

1280
01:14:02,880 --> 01:14:06,519
Speaker 2: corruption in our government. It was uncovered by Luke Roseiack,

1281
01:14:06,600 --> 01:14:09,040
Speaker 2: our latest guest. We're done for the day. Join us

1282
