1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:07,120
Speaker 1: The voice of free speech, the truth delivered common sense

2
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: for the American people.

3
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 2: Welcome to the Scott Jennings Show.

4
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:16,959
Speaker 3: We've got some breaking news on the show today on

5
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 3: the subject of fraud. Congressman Jamie Comer from the House

6
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 3: Oversight Committee is joining us in just a few minutes.

7
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 3: You need to hear this special report on fraud in Minnesota.

8
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:32,200
Speaker 3: Sounds like they've called the law on some fraudsters up there.

9
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 3: We'll have some news on the California elections. Oh boy,

10
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 3: where to start. I'll have some thoughts on the system

11
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 3: out there, but we know who the candidates for La

12
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:44,279
Speaker 3: Mayor and California governor are going to be. And we'll

13
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 3: get back to NASA today. They've picked the astronauts for

14
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 3: the next step in the Artemis mission to eventually get

15
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 3: us back to the Moon. Our friend Bethany Stevens from

16
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 3: NASA comes by to tell us all about it.

17
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 1: Today is Tuesday, June the ninth.

18
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 3: I'm Scott Jennings reporting for Salem Edward, broadcasting live today

19
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 3: from your nation's capital. First of all, I just jumped

20
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 3: in the chair here fresh off of a speech to

21
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 3: the American Foundry Society. Today, I want to thank my

22
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,559
Speaker 3: friends there for the chance to address their annual DC

23
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 3: fly in about the politics of the day. Always good

24
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 3: to meet folks who make things, who truly make our

25
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 3: economy work on this day. By the way, nineteen seventy three,

26
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 3: let's hear cut five with that extraordinary win at the

27
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 3: Belmont Stake, Secretariat won the Triple Crown and dominating fashion,

28
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 3: setting the Belmont record at two minutes and twenty four seconds.

29
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 3: You know that horse set the record in all three

30
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 3: Triple Crown races that year. Did you know, by the way,

31
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 3: that in this year's Kentucky Derby, Secretariat was related to

32
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 3: nineteen of the twenty horses that made the field, Nineteen

33
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 3: out of twenty. Pretty incredible. As for today's news, it

34
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 3: is a Tuesday, and that means another round of primary

35
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 3: elections here in the United States. The twenty twenty six

36
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 3: mid terms are coming. Four states going to the polls

37
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 3: here Maine, Nevada, South Carolina, and North Dakota. In Maine,

38
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 3: Democrats are headed into the abyss with Graham Platner in

39
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 3: the Senate race. He seems all but assured to win

40
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 3: the Democratic nomination there, but it should be noted because

41
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 3: she herself has noted this many times.

42
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: Now.

43
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 3: Janet Mills is still on the ballot as a Democrat.

44
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,679
Speaker 3: She's a sitting governor there. We'll see how many Democrats

45
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 3: cast a protest vote.

46
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 1: In that race. But it does seem like Platner is

47
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: going to win.

48
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 2: Now.

49
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 3: The latest polling in Maine shows the incumbent Republican Senator

50
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 3: Susan Collins slightly ahead of Platner. Democrats I think are

51
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 3: making a huge mistake here. We'll see what happens. Maine

52
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 3: also has a competitive primary for governor, about five candidates

53
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 3: running in each of the Democratic and Republican primaries. They

54
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 3: have ranked choice voting, so it may take several days

55
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 3: to get to the winner. There also Maine's second congressional district.

56
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 3: It's currently held by a moderate Democrat who is retiring,

57
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 3: so this is an open seat. Former Governor Paul Lepage

58
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 3: is the nominee for the Republicans, and there are several

59
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 3: Democrats running to replace Jared Golden up there. This seat

60
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 3: is rated as likely to flip to the Republican column.

61
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 3: Maine is a critical state for the Republicans if they

62
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 3: intend to hold their majorities in November. In either the

63
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 3: House or the Senate. Out in Nevada, a bruising primary

64
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 3: will reach its conclusion in the second Congressional district between

65
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 3: Lieutenant Colonel Dave Flippo, who is endorsed by President Trump,

66
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 3: and former state Legislator James Settlemeyer, who is endorsed by

67
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 3: the governor out there, Joe Lombardo. This is the one

68
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 3: solidly Republican congressional seat in Nevada. And speaking of Governor Lombardo,

69
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 3: he will be nominated for a second term and he's

70
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 3: running against Democrat Attorney General Aaron Ford. That race is

71
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 3: rated as lean Republican. Finally, down in South Carolina, they've

72
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 3: got a big ticket primary for governor and it's going

73
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 3: to reach its first major benchmark tonight. The primary of

74
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 3: numerous candidates will be whittled down to just two who

75
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 3: will then head to a June twenty third runoff election.

76
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 3: Lieutenant Governor Pamela Yvette has the endorsement of President Trump

77
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 3: and of Governor Henry McMaster. She seems quite likely to

78
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 3: make the runoffs. So other candidates here are the state

79
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 3: Attorney General Alan Wilson and Congressman Ralph Norman and Nancy Mace.

80
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: They're all running together.

81
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 3: Polling has been very close, true, a toss up outcome

82
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 3: in the Republican primary for governor in the Palmetto state.

83
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 3: You know, they still haven't finished counting the ballots in

84
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 3: California's jungle primary, which was held on June the second,

85
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 3: But last night, major news outlets project that in Los

86
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 3: Angeles in the mayor's race, that sitting LA Mayor Karen

87
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 3: Bass will face off against city council member and socialist

88
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 3: Nithya Rahman in the runoff. Now, those two emerge from

89
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 3: a crowded all party primary field that included former reality

90
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 3: TV star Spencer Pratt, who's arrested Republican. He ran an

91
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 3: insurgent campaign criticizing Bass for her response to the LA

92
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 3: wildfires last year. Pratt was in second place for the

93
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 3: longest time, but they kept counting the ballots in California

94
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 3: and finally Pratt was pushed down to third and out

95
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 3: of the race. California voting system, well, it's really something.

96
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 3: You have millions of mail in ballots sent to people

97
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 3: who didn't ask for them, no voter idd Ballot harvesting

98
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 3: is legal, where strangers come to your house and help

99
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 3: you fill out your ballot, then they take it and

100
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 3: they turn it in for you. Some people say there's

101
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 3: fraud going on here. Here's my view. LA is a

102
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 3: democratic town in a state with a long history of

103
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,479
Speaker 3: picking terrible people, of re electing people who've done a

104
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 3: terrible job. Here's how I called it on CNN last night,

105
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 3: cut number six.

106
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: The system's crazy.

107
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 3: I mean, if you wanted to design a system to

108
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 3: make people question the results every year, to make people

109
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 3: wonder if there was any funny business going on, you

110
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 3: would design it precisely as they have designed it in California.

111
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 3: But as he pointed out, it's legal today. I don't

112
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 3: think the ballot harvesting ought to be legal. I think

113
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 3: vote by mail is inherently less secure than voting in person.

114
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 3: You're counting all these ballots for weeks and weeks. It's

115
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 3: I mean, it does lead to a lot of questions.

116
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 3: But do I think it's fraudulent on its face that

117
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 3: a Republican didn't get more than twenty five percent of

118
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 3: the vote and a mayor's race in La.

119
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: No, it's not inherent I'm not surprised at all.

120
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,359
Speaker 3: I mean, California routinely picks the literal worst people in

121
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 3: the world to run the state in the cities they

122
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 3: have done that in this case, that does not seem

123
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 3: to be a shocking outcome to me, said, it kind

124
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 3: of stinks that it takes so long to count the ballots.

125
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: I think ballot harvesting stinks.

126
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 3: And I think vote by mail and mailing out millions

127
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 3: of ballots to people who have never asked for one,

128
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 3: I mean, I think that all does absolutely stink.

129
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: Is that the same as fraud?

130
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 3: No, But I do think it's a legitimate conversation about

131
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 3: whether he's election laws in California. I mean, if you

132
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 3: want to have more confidence and elections, he would scrap

133
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 3: this entire pile of garbage law and start over with someone.

134
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 3: Did you know by the way that my friend Rob Pires,

135
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 3: he did the math on this, and you look in

136
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 3: the governor's race in California. By the way, they've determined

137
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 3: that Democrat Xavier Bessera and Republican Steve Hilton are going

138
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 3: to make the runoff, so you will have a Republican

139
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 3: running for governor of California. But Rob Pires did the

140
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 3: math on this that I'm styre one of the Democratic

141
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 3: candidates will have spent nearly five hundred and fifty eight

142
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 3: million dollars on his previous run for president in twenty

143
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 3: twenty four and his run for governor of California in

144
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 3: twenty twenty six. Five hundred and fifty eight million dollars

145
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 3: on two races. What does he have to show for it?

146
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 3: Zero delegates for president and finishing third in the gubernatorial contest.

147
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 3: Five hundred and fifty eight million dollars and nothing to

148
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 3: show for it now is political consultants. Well, we'll hope

149
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 3: they enjoy their beach houses in their Lamborghinis.

150
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 1: Iran News. By the way, this just in.

151
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 3: The President says the United States must respond to Iran's

152
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 3: latest provocation, which was shooting down an Apache helicopter that

153
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 3: was patrolling in the Strait of Horror Moves.

154
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 1: Two pilots were in there.

155
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 3: Both have been rescued safely, but this incident feels like

156
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:01,479
Speaker 3: a setback in the pursuit of an agreement to end hostilities.

157
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 3: We have a pack show for you today, as I said,

158
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,439

Speaker 3: and so much more. I do want to talk to

165
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 3: you about an issue. Two hundred and fifty years, Americans

166
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:34,439
Speaker 3: have believed in a powerful idea. That idea is that

167
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 3: we were meant to live free, free to work hard,

168
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 3: free to move, free to enjoy life without being held back.

169
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 3: But if every day aches and pains are slowing you down,

170
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 3: might be time to declare your independence from pain. Relief

00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 3: a quick fix, it doesn't mask it. It works from

Speaker 1: More breaking news after this, It's Scott Jennings on Salem.

188
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: Stay with us. Hey, it's Scott Jennings.

189
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,679
Speaker 3: You know when you think about nutrition, do you share

190
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 3: my view that nutrition seems like it's getting way too complicated.

191
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 3: I read the labels at the store and I'm like,

192
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 3: why is this so hard?

193
00:10:59,600 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: Now?

194
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 3: I have been trying to be more mindful of what

195
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 3: I eat and how I supplement and honestly, it makes

196
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,439
Speaker 3: sense to just simply start with nature. When you eat

197
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 3: whole foods, you're getting what are called fido nutrients. These

198
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 3: are natural compounds that your body uses to adjust, repair

199
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 3: and respond every single day. Now, Balance of Nature takes

200
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 3: real fruits and vegetables and they run them through this

201
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 3: tailored vacuum cold process that stabilizes that fhyto nutrition. They

202
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 3: have a whole health system that bundles fruits and veggies

203
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 3: and fiber and spice, and all of this gives you

204
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 3: forty seven whole food ingredients and their phyto nutrients in

205
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:44,800

Speaker 3: so you can snack and still feel good about it.

00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,839
Speaker 2: the Scott Jennings Show.

217
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:23,079
Speaker 3: Tuesday, June the ninth. Thanks for listening to common sense

218
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 3: for the American people. I'm Scott Jennings. We have breaking

219
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 3: news today on Minnesota fraud. The House Oversight Committee has

220
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 3: a new report about how Tim Walls, the Governor, and

221
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 3: Keith Ellison, the Attorney General, fueled Minnesota's fraud explosion. And

222
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 3: to break it down, we have the chairman of the

223
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 3: House Oversight Committee joining us live right now, Jamie Comer

224
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 3: of Kentucky Congressman. Thanks for being here. This is shocking

225
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,079
Speaker 3: information that you have uncovered, and as I understand it,

226
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,559
Speaker 3: law enforcement is now involved.

227
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 1: Tell us about it.

228
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 4: Yeah.

229
00:12:55,600 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 5: This report is based on many hours of transcribed inner

230
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 5: views with Minnesota state employees, as well as some depositions,

231
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:11,199
Speaker 5: plus emails and correspondence. And what we determined with evidence

232
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 5: is that Tim Waltz and Attorney General Keith Elson knew

233
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 5: four years about the massive amounts of fraud.

234
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,079
Speaker 4: And what we're talking about here, Scott, is.

235
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:25,959
Speaker 5: Three hundred million dollars in food benefit fraud and at

236
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 5: least one billion dollars in other types of welfare fraud.

237
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 5: The basis for this report was testimony from nine different

238
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:40,079
Speaker 5: Minnesota state employees. Career state employees, most of whom were

239
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 5: all retro Democrat. They did exactly what they were supposed

240
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 5: to do with state employees. They found the fraud and

241
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 5: they reported it to their superiors. But when they got

242
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 5: to the point of telling the Attorney General and the

243
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 5: governor time after time, the governor turned a blind eye.

244
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,079
Speaker 4: And at a certain point he.

245
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,439
Speaker 5: Got frustrated because the state employees would continue to blow

246
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 5: the whistle on this fraud, and he turned to retaliation.

247
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 5: He actually spent tax dollars to hire investigators to follow

248
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,839
Speaker 5: them around and harass the state employees to try to

249
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 5: intimidate and deter them from doing their job with respect

250
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 5: to reporting fraud.

251
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 3: So you've uncovered this in the Oversight Committee, and you've

252
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 3: been working with Vice President Vance's Anti Fraud task Force,

253
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 3: and tell us about those communications, and then what has

254
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 3: the task force done with this information that you've uncovered today.

255
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 4: I have to brag on Vice President Vance.

256
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 5: He created this fraud task Force there on the ground

257
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 5: we speak in Minnesota. They've already arrested dozens of fraudsters

258
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 5: that were involved in various types of welfare fraud schemes

259
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 5: in Minnesota. They're putting a case together to arrest dozens more.

260
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 5: We have been in communityation with that fraud Task Force

261
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 5: ever since its start, and we passed the report to them,

262
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 5: and Vice President Vance read the report, and to his credit,

263
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 5: he immediately referred Governor Waltz to the Department of Justice

264
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 5: for a criminal investigation. And I know the Department Justice

265
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 5: will use as the basis for their investigation our report,

266
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 5: which again compiled many hours of transcribed interviews with credible

267
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 5: government employees who testified to Congress and if you lie

268
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 5: to Congress Scott, that's a felony, and they knew that.

269
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 5: So I think that this is the first step in accountability.

270
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 5: We know many of the fraudsters are being held accountable

271
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 5: as we speak, but I don't think these governors in

272
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 5: these states that continue to turn a blight out of

273
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 5: fraud are ever going to change their ways unless someone

274
00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 5: is tell the accountable. And Chim walt is first in

275
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 5: line because of what Vice.

276
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 4: President Vance did with our report.

277
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 5: Hopefully the Department Justice can hold him accountable and Governor

278
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 5: Waltz can have his day in court.

279
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 3: Congressman Jamie Comer of Kentucky is our guest. The breaking

280
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 3: news here is that the House Oversight Committee has uncovered

281
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 3: evidence that whistleblowers and the Minnesota state government. We're telling

282
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 3: the governor's office and telling the state Attorney General about

283
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 3: hundreds of millions of dollars of fraudile and activity, and

284
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 3: both the governor and the Attorney general turned a blind

285
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 3: eye toward it and in fact may have intimidated.

286
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: Some of these whistleblowers.

287
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 3: Vice President Vance was asked about this in an interview

288
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 3: just last night.

289
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: Let's hear from the Vice President and cut number eight.

290
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 6: You had people within Governor Waltz's office who were saying,

291
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 6: you know what this looks like fraud. It looks like

292
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 6: these somal illegal immigrants are doing something that's very shady.

293
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: And then you had.

294
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 6: People who shut them down, who shut these blowers down

295
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 6: and said, you know, you're a racist or you're a xenophobe.

296
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 3: Congressman Comber, we've got about thirty seconds. I'll give you

297
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 3: the last word on this. I know this is a

298
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,439
Speaker 3: significant report. Is there more to come from your committee?

299
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 4: Absolutely, We're on the ground in Minnesota.

300
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 5: We've been doing investigations in California pertaining to hospice fraud.

301
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 5: We've expanded this to Ohio with medicaid fraud there.

302
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 4: We're about to roll into New York.

303
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 5: So anywhere we get credible information of any type of

304
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 5: fraud with government tax fair dollars, we're going in there

305
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,919
Speaker 5: and hopefully we'll have more government employees come forward like

306
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 5: they did in Minnesota and help us be able to

307
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,959
Speaker 5: progress our investigation and hopefully hold some people accountable.

00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 3: Congressman Jamie Comber Kentucky's first district. He is the chairman

345
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,880
Speaker 3: Scott Jennings Broadcasting for Salem.

346
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:47,439
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us today.

347
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 3: I have to say we must be in the campaign

348
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 3: season because I couldn't help but notice, and haven't been

349
00:19:56,240 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 3: able to stop noticing that the Democratic Party has all

350
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 3: of a sudden realized that the people that they are

351
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 3: nominating for various offices have said a bunch of stuff

352
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:12,919
Speaker 3: that simply will not fly in a general election. You

353
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 3: may have heard me and others warning them about this

354
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 3: for months on end, particularly down in the state of Texas,

355
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 3: where they have nominated James Tallerco to run for the

356
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 3: United States Senate. His Republican opponent is Ken Paxton. James Tallerco.

357
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 3: It's one of these Democrats out there that they are

358
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:35,399
Speaker 3: going to try to have to convince voters never held,

359
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 3: never held, never said, never believed, a bunch of crazy

360
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 3: things that would be anathma to voters in the state

361
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 3: of Texas. The exact same thing, by the way, happened

362
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 3: when Kamala Harris was running for president in twenty twenty four.

363
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 3: Republicans noticed, people noticed that she had said a bunch

364
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 3: of crazy stuff when she ran briefly for president in

365
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 3: twenty twenty. They began using those clips of the twenty

366
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 3: twenty four campaign, and a concerted propaganda effort was made

367
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 3: to convince you that Kamala Harris never said any of this. Well,

368
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 3: this is happening again, and I want to go through

369
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 3: some of it in Texas, maybe in a couple of

370
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,640
Speaker 3: other places in Texas. They care about the Second Amendment.

371
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 3: What has James Tallerco said about the Second Amendment?

372
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: Well, he said, quote.

373
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 3: Having guns encourages violence against black sons and black daughters,

374
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:37,160
Speaker 3: and he led legislation restricting handgun sales, and he tried

375
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 3: to prevent Texas from being a constitutional carry state. Let's

376
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 3: hear him in his own words.

377
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:49,120
Speaker 7: Cut nine encourages violence against black sons and black daughters.

378
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 1: They cantor took their loved ones.

379
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:55,159
Speaker 7: When the president allows weapons of war on our streets

380
00:21:55,200 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 7: and in our classrooms. President Trump is the anti family candidate.

381
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 7: As long as he's in office, all of our families

382
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 7: are under threat.

383
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:07,400
Speaker 1: James Tallerico says that.

384
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 3: Because President Trump and Republicans ostensibly believe in the Second Amendment,

385
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 3: they're a threat to everybody that was then what's James

386
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 3: Tallerrico saying today, because he's now running for the US

387
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 3: Senate and they are in total panic mode. Let's hear

388
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 3: that cut number ten. I am a believer in the

389
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 3: Second Amendment. I don't pick and choose between the Bill

390
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 3: of Rights. I believe in the Second Amendment just as

391
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:34,439
Speaker 3: much as I believe in the First. We have a

392
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 3: right to bear arms to protect ourselves our families. We

393
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 3: have a right to own weapons for sport or for hunting.

394
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 3: But like any freedom in the Bill of Rights, it's

395
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 3: not absolute. Okay, you heard it. James tall Rico then

396
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,199
Speaker 3: and now on the Second Amendment? Are you inclined to

397
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,880
Speaker 3: believe that he's had a change of heart and now says, hey,

398
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,400
Speaker 3: do whatever you want under the Second Amendment. I am

399
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 3: not inclined to believe that. Let's pick an up topic.

400
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:05,680
Speaker 3: How about I don't know, gender reassignment surgeries. James Tallerico,

401
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,400
Speaker 3: by the way, a state representative in Texas he wants,

402
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 3: voted against a bill that would have banned trans surgeries

403
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 3: for kids in Texas. And he once gave an interview

404
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 3: when the podcaster said, what is something that you love?

405
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 3: Open ended? What is something that you love? James Tallerico

406
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 3: then had this to say, cut eleven.

407
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: Something that you love that's not family or friends I love.

408
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 1: I'm just saying it because it's on my mind. The

409
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 1: trans children who showed.

410
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:42,880
Speaker 8: Up yesterday at the state capitol to advocate for their humanity.

411
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 1: They shouldn't have to, but it was an inspiration to watch.

412
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 3: Totally open ended. He could have picked anything in the world.

413
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 3: He could have picked baseball. He could have picked ice cream,

414
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,479
Speaker 3: he could have picked apple pie. He could have picked

415
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 3: climbing a tree. You know what was on James Tallerico's

416
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:04,439
Speaker 3: mind trans kids kids that back then he wanted to

417
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:12,160
Speaker 3: see undergo gender mutilation surgery. Now the rebrand is underway.

418
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 3: Tall Rico this week Cut twelve.

419
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 9: You know, James, I hear consistent tropes about you being

420
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:22,120
Speaker 9: way too liberal for Texas, that your pro sex surgery

421
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,120
Speaker 9: for miners, and on and on and on.

422
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: How do you respond to.

423
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:29,439
Speaker 9: That, Well, just on that particular accusation, I oppose gender

424
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 9: reassignment surgeries for miners.

425
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 3: They did this with Kamala, by the way, she was

426
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 3: as pro gender reassignment surgery for miners and inmates and

427
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:44,160
Speaker 3: anybody else they could get their hands on. They tried

428
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,439
Speaker 3: to claim that she never said those things, that she

429
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,680
Speaker 3: would never have had those views. They're doing the same

430
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 3: thing with tall Rico. Where do you think his heart

431
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 3: actually is? Though his heart is really center cut for

432
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 3: the modern Democratic Party. Of course they are in thrall

433
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 3: to the trans gender cult. Don't be fooled. Let's pick

434
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:03,399
Speaker 3: another topic.

435
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 1: I don't know. Let's say Green New Deal.

436
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 3: Then State Representative tallar Rico introduced a bill in the

437
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 3: Texas legislature to eliminate the oil and gas industry in Texas.

438
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,919
Speaker 3: You might know oil and gas in Texas is a

439
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 3: very niche, tiny part of their economy. He wanted to

440
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 3: eliminate it. Why let's hear it from him in his

441
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,120
Speaker 3: own words. Cut thirteen.

442
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 8: You can't call yourself with Christian and destroy God's creation

443
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:34,360
Speaker 8: with greenhouse gases.

444
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:39,680
Speaker 3: Okay, So James Tallarico says, you can't be a Christian

445
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 3: and support or work in the oil and gas industry

446
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 3: in Texas. This is of course a major political problem

447
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 3: if you're running for the US Senate in Texas. But

448
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 3: now the b rebrand is here. Tallarico today, Cut fourteen.

449
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 9: We have to protect good paying oil and gas jobs.

450
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 9: You know, I've had family members who have worked in

451
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,399
Speaker 9: the oil and gas industry. I went to Texas public

452
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,199
Speaker 9: schools funded by Texas oil and Gas.

453
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,360
Speaker 1: So I owe a lot to the industry.

454
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 9: And I know that some of these jobs keep whole

455
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 9: families for float and so I want to protect our

456
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 9: status as an energy leader here in Texas.

457
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 3: I mean, they are completely and totally trying to I

458
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:28,120
Speaker 3: guess hope that people of Texas don't have televisions, radios, internet,

459
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 3: because you can't say that today and hold the views

460
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 3: that James Tallerico held you can't be a Christian and

461
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 3: support oil and gas, just not that long ago. He

462
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 3: hasn't been on the scene that long. Let's pick another topic.

463
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 3: I don't know, how about the border. What is James

464
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 3: Tallarico said about immigration and border security.

465
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 1: Let's go to then cut seventeen.

466
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 9: How do you balance your feelness toward Ice versus the

467
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 9: people you would represent who support deporting on documented immigrants.

468
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:01,119
Speaker 9: You have thirty seconds. So my family from the border.

469
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 9: My mom grew up in Laredo, Texas. I feel like

470
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:07,640
Speaker 9: Texans understand this issue of immigration more so than people

471
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 9: in other states because we live with it, both the

472
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 9: benefits and the challenges. So what I've said is that

473
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,399
Speaker 9: our southern border should be like our front course. There

474
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 9: should be a giant welcome Matt out front and a

475
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 9: lock on the door. We can welcome immigrants who want

476
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 9: to live the American dream.

477
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,359
Speaker 8: We can build a pathway to citizenship for those neighbors

478
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 8: who have been here and it's making us richer and stronger,

479
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 8: and we can keep out people who mean to do

480
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 8: us harm.

481
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:38,440
Speaker 3: Okay, that was James Tallerico just in the primary earlier

482
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 3: this year. Welcome Matt at the southern border instead of

483
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 3: a fence or a wall. I guess now though James Tallerico, well,

484
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 3: he says he's got a new position on the border.

485
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:49,360
Speaker 1: Let's hear that cut sixteen.

486
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 9: I called out Joe Biden for failing to secure our

487
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 9: southern border, and I got a lot of heat in

488
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:58,199
Speaker 9: my own party for doing that. But I remember talking

489
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 9: with my colleagues and the legislature who represent border communities,

490
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,880
Speaker 9: and they told me about the utter chaos caused by

491
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 9: President Biden's policies, and the Democratic Party we're the ones

492
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 9: that should be about making government work for people, and

493
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 9: our immigration system is a prime example of government not

494
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 9: working for people. And so I'm a border security Democrat.

495
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 9: I believe we've got to have a sane, orderly process

496
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:23,919
Speaker 9: to ensure that we know who's coming into our country.

497
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 1: A border security Democrat.

498
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:32,919
Speaker 3: If you believe that I've got some vegan stakes that

499
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 3: I'll sell you, I guess. But it's not just Tallarico

500
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 3: who they are scrambling to rebrand down in Texas. There

501
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 3: are lots of Democratic candidates who are going through this

502
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 3: process right now of become You know, they're not talented

503
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 3: at much, but many of them are talented actors. That's

504
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 3: tall Rico's principal talent. He's an actor. He was acting

505
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 3: like a progressive liberal. Now he's trying to act like

506
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 3: a moderate. It's happening in other races around the country.

507
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 3: Let's go to Colorado where they have a competitive of

508
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 3: congressional race. There in the eighth district, there is a

509
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 3: Democratic candidate named Manny Rootinel first changing his tune about agriculture.

510
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 1: Let's hear that and cut number three.

511
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 10: You told the Yale Big Egg and Antitrust Conference in

512
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 10: twenty twenty one that quote, the factory farming of animals

513
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 10: is one of the largest sources of suffering on the planet.

514
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 10: You also said, quote animal agriculture is a horrific exploitative industry.

515
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 1: Feel free to taking a minute on of this.

516
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 10: Do you still believe what you said and how will

517
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 10: that affect the way.

518
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 1: That you lead? Look, farmers and ranchers are my friends.

519
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 11: I've been honored to be supported by United farm Workers,

520
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 11: United Food and Commercial Workers, which represents the meat packers

521
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 11: over at GPS in Greeley.

522
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 1: I will always fight for our ranchers and farmers.

523
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 11: And right now, Donald Trump and Gabe Evans are creating

524
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 11: terrible conditions for them with their chaotic and corrupt tariff policies.

525
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 10: Would you mind answering the question, though, whether you still

526
00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 10: believe the animal agriculture is a horrific, exploited time industry

527
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 10: and Colorado rinchers and farmers are the envy of the world.

528
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,479
Speaker 11: They have the best practices, the most sustainable practice. They

529
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 11: produce the best product. I will always fight for them.

530
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 3: Now going to let him get away with it out

531
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 3: there sounds like, at least for one reporter in Colorado.

532
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 1: How about Michigan?

533
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,719
Speaker 3: Where are the leading Democratic candidate for Senate, Abdua Lsied,

534
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 3: has been caught deleting thousands upon thousands of tweets where

535
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 3: he said crazy things. He's been confronted about that. Let's

536
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 3: hear that cut number seven.

537
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 12: I want to ask you as well, because my colleagues

538
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 12: at k File here at stand and found that you

539
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 12: had deleted thousands of old posts on x on Twitter

540
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 12: sometime before launching your senate campaign. Some of those posts

541
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 12: included messages that said the champion to the defund the

542
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 12: police movement described the police as quote standing armies.

543
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 1: Why did you take this post down? Well, let me just.

544
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 10: Speak to a vision for public safety that I think

545
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:57,239
Speaker 10: all of us can agree with.

546
00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: I think all of us want to be safe. We

547
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 1: want to know that we can get home safely.

548
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 3: We don't want to worry about being the victim of

549
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 3: somebody's violence, whether it's from a neighbor or the state itself.

550
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 3: Abdul l Sied is from the most radical, liberal progressive

551
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 3: wing of the Democratic Party.

552
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 1: One of their motivating issues.

553
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 3: Is defund the police. He has been for defund the

554
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 3: police his entire career, right up until now when he

555
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 3: thinks he's going to be the nominee for Senate in Michigan,

556
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 3: and they've realized you can't run on defund the police

557
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 3: in a purple state like Michigan. Time and time and

558
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 3: time again.

559
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 1: We see this.

560
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 3: People who hold in their hearts, in their heart of

561
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 3: hearts are the most liberal, progressive, radical Democrats you can

562
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 3: think of, using their talent for acting to try to

563
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 3: convince you, Oh no, no, I'm a moderate. I couldn't

564
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 3: possibly be the radical that they portray me. As my

565
00:31:56,400 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 3: advice for the American people, use your common sense, don't

566
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 3: fall for it. Scott Jennings is broadcasting to you today

567
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 3: on Salem I do want to give you a message

568
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 3: about something that the bureaucrats in Washington don't really want

569
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 3: to talk about, and that is this Alzheimer's is becoming

570
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 3: an economic time bomb and our country is simply not ready.

571
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 3: Cases are on track to nearly double to fourteen million

572
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 3: by twenty sixty. This will put pressure on the families affected,

573
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 3: our national workforce, and the already strained Medicare and Medicaid programs.

574
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 3: Here's the part that needs to get your attention. American

575
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 3: families are shouldering most of the burden. They cover seventy

576
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 3: percent of the lifetime costs for an Alzheimer's patients, about

577
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 3: four hundred grand. Our competitors aren't standing still. China is

578
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 3: actually working on this. They're aggressively expanding early diagnosis and treatment.

579
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 3: But here in the US, there is still work to

580
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 3: be done, still work to be done. We have to

581
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,959
Speaker 3: turn this around. Four and five voters say they'll support

582
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 3: candidates who prioritize better access to Alzheimer's detection. That would

583
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 3: be good for fear families, good for the economy, and frankly,

584
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 3: it just makes a lot of common sense.

585
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 1: To learn more.

586
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 3: Join the fight at Market Institute Dot org. That's Marketinstitute

587
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 3: dot org. More after this, it's Scott Jennings on Salem.

588
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 2: Stay with us conversation said stories you simply won't hear

589
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 2: from the mainstream media.

590
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 1: It's the Scott Jenny Show.

591
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 3: Well, one topic is generating a lot of conversation in

592
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 3: America's heartland that has to do with AI data centers.

593
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:32,719
Speaker 3: As AI data centers and the industrial boom around AI

594
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 3: spurring this debate. One thing is becoming clear AI just

595
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 3: may offer the chance for a revival of manufacturing in

596
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 3: the heartland. Joining me to discuss this, Craig Fuller, author

597
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 3: of a recent article about this very topic. Craig is

598
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 3: CEO of Freight Waves and has some unique technology tracking

599
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 3: of this heartland revival. Craig, welcome to the show. Tell

600
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 3: us you've been analyzing this. What is the data showing

601
00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 3: us about the AI impact on manufacturing renaissance in the

602
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 3: United States?

603
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 1: Well, reinduentrializations here, it's happening.

604
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:08,359
Speaker 13: We've been seeing it really since November, so I think

605
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 13: the market had to sort of swallow the tariff impact,

606
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 13: sort of the change in trade policy that was last year.

607
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 13: But since November we've seen the factories and the industrials.

608
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:19,959
Speaker 1: Absolutely rip.

609
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:22,279
Speaker 13: It's the first time we've been tracking this data for

610
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:24,839
Speaker 13: ten years. I've been around my whole life, but this

611
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 13: is a very different economy. We're seeing it we made

612
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 13: right in front of our eyes, where the center of

613
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:32,319
Speaker 13: the country, the old Rust Bill, sort of what we

614
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:35,440
Speaker 13: think is the dying part of the United States is

615
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:37,879
Speaker 13: coming to live in ways that we haven't seen ever

616
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 13: since we tried our data. So we're seeing in the

617
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 13: middle of the country really originate the freight versus dependent

618
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,720
Speaker 13: upon previously dependent upon the coast.

619
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 1: And so it's a really exciting time.

620
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 13: AI data centers are having a substantial impact, and because

621
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 13: of the tax incentives that we got through the Big

622
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:57,279
Speaker 13: Beautiful Bill, a lot of that investment is taking place

623
00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 13: in US factories, in US production.

624
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 3: All Right, I live in Louisville, Kentucky. You're just outside

625
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:05,399
Speaker 3: of it. We see a lot of freight come and go. Now,

626
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:08,720
Speaker 3: if I understand this correctly, you have this sonar technology

627
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 3: that is tracking what the freight is. So tell me

628
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 3: how is AI transforming freight? What are these trucks carrying

629
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:18,760
Speaker 3: and how much of it is going through a place

630
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:19,759
Speaker 3: like Louisvillehere, I.

631
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:24,319
Speaker 13: Am well the numbers are staggering. So just to build

632
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 13: a data center, we're not talking about GPUs, But to

633
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:30,360
Speaker 13: put this in perspective, there are seven hundred billion dollars

634
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 13: of AI data center construction that would be deployed this year.

635
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:37,280
Speaker 13: To make that equivalence, the largest infrastructure build in history

636
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:40,880
Speaker 13: is the Interstate Highway System. They deployed about twenty billion

637
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:43,279
Speaker 13: dollars a year to build that out, seven hundred billion

638
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 13: over thirty five years. The AI data centers, these hyper

639
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 13: skealars are doing that every two weeks.

640
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:49,840
Speaker 1: The amount of money is staggering.

641
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 13: I think what's the most exciting is the Interstate Highway System.

642
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:56,720
Speaker 13: The largest infrastructure built in history was funded by federal

643
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:58,320
Speaker 13: tax dollars in the federal government.

644
00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 1: Really important to have that structure.

645
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 13: What we're seeing with AI data centers as private companies,

646
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 13: the most wealthiest, richest companies in the history of mankind

647
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 13: are taking capital and putting into our economy, and it's

648
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 13: creating demand for construction materials, creating demand for things like steel,

649
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 13: HVAC systems, cooling systems, transmission lines, copper, you name it,

650
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 13: and a lot of that's coming from US factories.

651
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 1: It's really a profound time in history.

652
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've read your article, and according to your technology,

653
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 3: one standard five hundred megawatt data center needs thirty thousand

654
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 3: truckloads of material like copper, concrete, and steel. And you

655
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 3: got to what My next question is these materials, This

656
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:46,400
Speaker 3: stuff that goes into an AI data center that's coming

657
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:49,320
Speaker 3: out of US factories. So I guess if you're somebody

658
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 3: out there who's been I don't know about these data centers.

659
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 1: I've heard a lot of things. One thing to know

660
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:55,240
Speaker 1: here this true or false.

661
00:36:55,760 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 3: Data centers are spurring a manufacturing renaissance on basic building blocks.

662
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 1: I mean that that's true.

663
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 13: Yes, yeah, absolutely, And I think it's something that you know,

664
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:10,839
Speaker 13: as long as we don't, you know, give up for nimbiaism.

665
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 13: And you see a lot of these a lot of

666
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:17,240
Speaker 13: noise out there trying to decommission or block data centers

667
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:20,240
Speaker 13: from being built. I mean, we think about the kinds

668
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:23,319
Speaker 13: of economy that we want. It's all driven by electricity,

669
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 13: by power and data.

670
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 1: This is infrastructure. This is infrastructure for the future.

671
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:33,400
Speaker 13: Economy, and it's driving this manufacturing renaissance that we haven't

672
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:36,240
Speaker 13: seen in decades. This is doing more than any trade

673
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:39,840
Speaker 13: policy would ever do, because it's actually creating demand of

674
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:41,239
Speaker 13: the United States, and we're going to get our turn

675
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 13: on investment in the terms of new industry, new infrastructure,

676
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 13: new answers to disease, and ways that we haven't seen.

677
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 1: But it is happening. It's driving.

678
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 13: Investment in blue collar industries and factories and trucking and railroads.

679
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 1: They're all beneficiaries of it.

680
00:37:57,160 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 13: Were so blessed to the United States that we have

681
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 13: the ability to make these big investments.

682
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 3: Craig Fuller, I'll give you the last word ten seconds.

683
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 3: A lot of the negative information that we're seeing about

684
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:11,040
Speaker 3: AI and data centers, it's coming in people's social media

685
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:14,239
Speaker 3: feed you can't ignore it. Is it coming in some

686
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:18,319
Speaker 3: way from China and other overseas competitors that simply don't

687
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 3: want us to succeed in this endeavor.

688
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:24,360
Speaker 13: Absolutely, they want to shut down investment. They did the

689
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:27,720
Speaker 13: same thing to Germany and decommissioned power plants and destroyed

690
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 13: the industrial might of Germany. It's happening in the US.

691
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:33,480
Speaker 13: We've seen decarbonization do this fall the same form. We

692
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 13: have to be careful to know the importance of our infrastructure,

693
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 13: and the importance is going to place in our economy.

694
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:42,959
Speaker 3: Craig Fuller is the CEO of Freight Waves, a font

695
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:47,400
Speaker 3: of information about the AI boom and data center construction.

696
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 3: More after this on Salem to stay with us, Well,

697
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:52,359
Speaker 3: we're here. On Tuesday, June the ninth, quick checking the headlines,

698
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:56,800
Speaker 3: the US trade deficit has dropped again in April, beating

699
00:38:56,880 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 3: expectations of economic forecasters, with exports of goods and services

700
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 3: hitting their highest point on record, in large part due

701
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 3: to petroleum and material supply exports. Trade devis has now

702
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 3: fallen thirty two percent since May of twenty twenty five.

703
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:16,760
Speaker 3: That was in delivering on President Trump's promise of putting

704
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:20,800
Speaker 3: the American worker first. Vice President Jade Vance has referred

705
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:25,320
Speaker 3: the Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walls, and that state's Attorney General,

706
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:29,080
Speaker 3: Keith Ellison, to the Department of Justice's Fraud Division for

707
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 3: a criminal investigation. This came after a report from the

708
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 3: House Committee on Oversight. The Oversight committee there run by

709
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:40,320
Speaker 3: Jamie Comer. We highlighted it earlier in the show. Comer

710
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:45,360
Speaker 3: says they have uncovered evidence that Tim Walls and Keith

711
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:48,840
Speaker 3: Ellison turned a blind eye to or in some cases

712
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 3: intimidated whistleblowers who were trying to stop the massive fraud

713
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:54,920
Speaker 3: that was going on up in Minnesota. And we have

714
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:59,440
Speaker 3: news on voter registration on two fronts today. First news

715
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:03,040
Speaker 3: is about on citizens on the voter rolls. Second bit

716
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:07,440
Speaker 3: is about Republican voter registration trends. To discuss these two stories,

717
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:11,760
Speaker 3: as Casey Crosby, National co Chair of the Republican National

718
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 3: Committee KC, Democrats often claim, there's no evidence of non

719
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:19,840
Speaker 3: citizens or illegal aliens attempting to vote in our elections.

720
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 3: But you all have been covered another example of a

721
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 3: blue state where non citizens have been discovered on the

722
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 3: voter rolls. Tell us what's the story in New Jersey.

723
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:34,840
Speaker 14: Yeah, listen, we have a great state chairman in New Jersey,

724
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:39,360
Speaker 14: Christine Hamlin, who also happens to be a county clerk

725
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 14: of Monmouth County, and she discovered a lot of this

726
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:45,839
Speaker 14: and uncovered it, worked with the state party, reported it.

727
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:48,400
Speaker 14: But you know, we've known this all along, Scott. The

728
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 14: Republican National Committee has forty eight freedom of information request

729
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:54,839
Speaker 14: out to different states across the country trying to get

730
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 14: the voter roles because we have to make sure that

731
00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 14: we have only American citizens on and of course not

732
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 14: dead people. And so we've been on the offense making

733
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 14: sure that these voter rules are clean. But I mean

734
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:09,799
Speaker 14: New Jersey just a perfect example. And thankfully we have

735
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:13,160
Speaker 14: a good state chairman like Christine who is able to

736
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:15,800
Speaker 14: recognize that bring it to our attention, and it's proof,

737
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 14: and it's what we have been saying all along is

738
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:21,279
Speaker 14: going on. So it's nice when you've got someone who

739
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 14: can show the proof.

740
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:23,520
Speaker 1: Yeah.

741
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 3: I was looking at the story on this case and

742
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 3: that it says here that we had non citizens on

743
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:31,879
Speaker 3: the voter rolls in New Jersey and in other Blue

744
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:35,479
Speaker 3: states for years, and the report is is that some

745
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 3: of them even.

746
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:38,359
Speaker 1: Voted in prior elections.

747
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 3: And this was according to documents that you all had

748
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:44,279
Speaker 3: obtained via public records request. So this was the New

749
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:48,440
Speaker 3: Jersey Republican Party working with the Republican National Committee, and

750
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:51,320
Speaker 3: you requested the voter roles from all twenty one counties

751
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 3: there in New Jersey. Multiple instances of non citizens seeking

752
00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 3: naturalization who were asking to be removed from the voter

753
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:05,479
Speaker 3: rolls and claiming unknowingly that they were registered to vote.

754
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:08,799
Speaker 3: Most were registered as Democrats. So you have non citizens

755
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:11,360
Speaker 3: who are claiming they wound up on the voter rolls.

756
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 3: They don't know how some of them voted in elections,

757
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:17,840
Speaker 3: and most of them were Democrats. I mean, this is

758
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:19,760
Speaker 3: what's in the documents. What's that tell you, Casey?

759
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:21,319
Speaker 12: I mey, go.

760
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:23,799
Speaker 14: Figure it tells us exactly what we think has been

761
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:26,040
Speaker 14: going on. There's been cheating, and that's why it's so

762
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:29,840
Speaker 14: important and one of President Trump's main goals with the

763
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 14: Republican National Committees to make sure that we are fighting

764
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:36,040
Speaker 14: election integrity on all fronts. And so we know these

765
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:38,720
Speaker 14: things are going on, and like I said, under President

766
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:41,960
Speaker 14: Trump and Chairman Gruders, we are on the offense making

767
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:44,279
Speaker 14: sure that we are getting these voter roles cleaned up

768
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 14: and making sure that we work tirelessly to get the

769
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 14: Save America Act passed. I mean, we have the RNC

770
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:53,280
Speaker 14: Landmark case, the RNC versus Watson right now that's dealing

771
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:56,239
Speaker 14: with mail in ballots, and we're election day should end

772
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:59,279
Speaker 14: on election day, So we are on the offense and

773
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 14: election to and making sure that these voter rules are

774
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:05,360
Speaker 14: cleaned up is a top priority not only to President

775
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:07,440
Speaker 14: Trump but to the Republican National Committee.

776
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:11,880
Speaker 3: Casey, is it your belief that things like this what

777
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 3: you've uncovered in New Jersey here, is it your belief

778
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 3: that this is going on in virtually every blue state,

779
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:20,279
Speaker 3: maybe even in some red states that have you know,

780
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:23,240
Speaker 3: blue states, I don't know. I think the average person

781
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:26,239
Speaker 3: looks at these stories say well, is this an isolated item.

782
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:28,879
Speaker 1: Or is this probably more systemic or widespread? What's your view?

783
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:32,520
Speaker 14: Well, I think it's probably a little bit more systemic

784
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 14: and widespread than maybe what we know or would like

785
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:37,239
Speaker 14: to believe. I mean, certainly, you look at what's going

786
00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 14: on in California. Now, why does it take weeks to

787
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 14: count the votes and to get these candidates through the primaries?

788
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 14: I mean, and you just look at the even like

789
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 14: the fraud you just mentioned in Minnesota leading in I mean,

790
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 14: we see things wrong in all these blue states, and

791
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 14: so it leads you to believe that there's just a

792
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 14: lot of different things going on that need to be tackled.

793
00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:59,000
Speaker 14: And thank god we have President Trump who's willing to

794
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 14: take on these battles across the board. But you know,

795
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 14: I have to believe that it's happening in a lot

796
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 14: of states. I'd like to believe it's not happening in

797
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:08,880
Speaker 14: red states. You know, we're blessed in Kentucky. I know

798
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 14: the state that both of us are from, that we

799
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:13,880
Speaker 14: have a great Secretary of State who is an election

800
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:16,840
Speaker 14: integrity lawyer, and we think we do things pretty good here.

801
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:19,879
Speaker 14: But yeah, we certainly see a trend across a lot

802
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:21,040
Speaker 14: of our blue states.

803
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:24,280
Speaker 3: Casey Crosby is the national co chair of the Republican

804
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:27,799
Speaker 3: National Committee. She's our special news guest here at the

805
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 3: top of the two o'clock hour today. Casey, there was

806
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 3: some other information that came out about voter registration yesterday.

807
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:36,400
Speaker 1: I wanted to run by you A new.

808
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 3: District by district voter registration analysis across twenty eight battleground

809
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:49,240
Speaker 3: congressional districts shows that Republicans are rapidly gaining ground while

810
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:54,840
Speaker 3: Democrats are continuing to lose support. The report, Casey says

811
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 3: that since twenty twenty four, Republicans have gained more than

812
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:01,440
Speaker 3: two hundred and twenty nine thousand and voters relative to

813
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:04,359
Speaker 3: Democrats across these twenty eight districts. That's about a one

814
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:07,560
Speaker 3: and a half point shift towards the Republicans in just

815
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:09,239
Speaker 3: over a year. A.

816
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:11,000
Speaker 1: Why do you think this is? And B?

817
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 3: What is the Republican National Committee doing on the voter

818
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 3: registration front right now to take advantage of these trends.

819
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:20,440
Speaker 3: People are obviously wanting to sign up with the Republicans

820
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:21,759
Speaker 3: more than the Democrats right now.

821
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 14: I mean are we surprised? I mean the Democrat Party.

822
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:27,120
Speaker 14: I mean when you look at where they are, they're

823
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:30,120
Speaker 14: like Looney Tune left right now, with leaders like Mom,

824
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 14: Donnie aoc elon Omar and m a few. I mean,

825
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:37,239
Speaker 14: they've gone completely left. We saw during twenty twenty four

826
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:40,800
Speaker 14: President Trump and the promises he made during his campaign

827
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:45,160
Speaker 14: all were geared towards helping the American family, American people,

828
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 14: and we've seen his policies working. And so during twenty

829
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:52,960
Speaker 14: twenty four, he grew in every single demographic across whether

830
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:58,239
Speaker 14: it was Blacks, Hispanics, women, males, youth, and so he

831
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:00,279
Speaker 14: grew the vote. And we've been working tireless at the

832
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:02,920
Speaker 14: Republican National Committee to make sure that we build on

833
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:05,960
Speaker 14: those games that he made. And it goes back to

834
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 14: working very strongly with our state parties. I think last

835
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:13,120
Speaker 14: week or the week before, the Democrats released their autopsy

836
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:15,879
Speaker 14: report on what went wrong in twenty twenty four. Well,

837
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:18,000
Speaker 14: we all know they had a terrible president. They didn't

838
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:22,120
Speaker 14: even mention him in that report. They annoyed Kamala Harris

839
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:27,440
Speaker 14: as their nominee without getting one primary vote, and you know,

840
00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:29,759
Speaker 14: and we just see that they're in complete disarray. They

841
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:33,440
Speaker 14: can't even they can't they can't even admit it, let alone.

842
00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:36,200
Speaker 14: You see where they were saying that Joe Biden was

843
00:46:36,239 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 14: fit to be president, and here we have his wife

844
00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:41,160
Speaker 14: out on a book tour now saying that she thought

845
00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:43,439
Speaker 14: he had a stroke during the debate. I mean, they're

846
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 14: telling us exactly who they are, and the voters are

847
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:48,120
Speaker 14: believing them, and they're switching to the Republican Party, and

848
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:51,520
Speaker 14: we're picking up new voters. And we feel very good

849
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:54,439
Speaker 14: going into the midterms about where we stand. And as

850
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:57,200
Speaker 14: you mentioned, we looked at target districts. The NRCC looked

851
00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:00,759
Speaker 14: at target districts. And these mid terms are going to

852
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:04,360
Speaker 14: be one, as you know, in a few states across

853
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 14: the country. And so that's why it's critically important that

854
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:10,080
Speaker 14: we see these switches and registrations. It's setting up for

855
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:13,240
Speaker 14: the perfect storm for us going into the midterms.

856
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:16,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think these voter registration numbers run a little

857
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:20,160
Speaker 3: contrary to the narrative in the national media that somehow

858
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:23,080
Speaker 3: the sky is falling for Republican electoral prospects may not

859
00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:26,239
Speaker 3: be the case if you look at how the voters

860
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:29,279
Speaker 3: and the registrants are moving in these key races. We've

861
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 3: got about twenty seconds left here case. I just want

862
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:36,600
Speaker 3: you to opine on the RNC versus the DNC, the

863
00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:40,920
Speaker 3: Democrat National Committee when it comes to fundraising. I've been

864
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:45,200
Speaker 3: reading the reports here. Republicans have a massive financial advantage

865
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:46,439
Speaker 3: and the Democrats are in debt.

866
00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:48,239
Speaker 1: Can you illuminate that for us a little bit?

867
00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:51,440
Speaker 14: Yeah, you know, we are very blessed with the Republican

868
00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:55,239
Speaker 14: National Committee. First and foremost, we are completely unified with

869
00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:58,760
Speaker 14: the White House. In this administration. We have President Trump,

870
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:01,920
Speaker 14: who is the great as president ever. We have a

871
00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:05,080
Speaker 14: Vice President Vance who is our finance chair and chairman

872
00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:09,239
Speaker 14: Gruters and I work tirelessly traveling the country dilling for dollars,

873
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:12,799
Speaker 14: and frankly, our investors are very confident in the plan

874
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:15,799
Speaker 14: that we have going into the midterms. I mean, I'm

875
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:17,799
Speaker 14: the former treasurer of the RNC, and the way that

876
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:20,000
Speaker 14: we spend our money is if it's not about winning,

877
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:22,360
Speaker 14: we aren't spending it. So that's getting out the vote

878
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:25,080
Speaker 14: and protecting the vote. And that's it. And so we

879
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:27,399
Speaker 14: have about one hundred and twenty four million cash on hand.

880
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:31,320
Speaker 14: They are in debt about eighteen million dollars. And again

881
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:34,560
Speaker 14: this puts us in a tremendous position going into November.

882
00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:39,480
Speaker 3: One hundred and twenty four million dollars in the bank

883
00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:43,360
Speaker 3: at the Republican National Committee. And did you say eighteen

884
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:45,600
Speaker 3: million dollars in debt for the Democrats.

885
00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:48,319
Speaker 14: Yep, that's wid just sh I have eighteen million. It

886
00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:52,600
Speaker 14: is wild and it just shows how completely dysfunctional they are.

887
00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:55,279
Speaker 1: I mean, that is that is crazy. I don't know

888
00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:55,880
Speaker 1: who's running.

889
00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:57,640
Speaker 3: I mean, honestly, if you were running a shop that

890
00:48:57,719 --> 00:49:00,239
Speaker 3: was eighteen million dollars in debt and your competitors we're

891
00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:02,719
Speaker 3: in the black to the tune of one hundred and

892
00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:03,560
Speaker 3: twenty four million.

893
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:06,600
Speaker 1: I mean, no wonder they're looking for new leadership over there.

894
00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:09,960
Speaker 3: Casey Crosby is the national co chair of the Republican

895
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:13,880
Speaker 3: National Committee. She hails from my home commonwealth of Kentucky.

896
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:16,319
Speaker 3: And we thank you, Casey for your time today and

897
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:18,479
Speaker 3: have safe travels. We'll got to take a break. Scott

898
00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:20,480
Speaker 3: Jennings is here on Salem. More after this.

899
00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:25,440
Speaker 2: Now for America's favorite pundit, it's Scott Jennings.

900
00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:30,840
Speaker 3: It is Tuesday, June the ninth, Common Sense for the

901
00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:34,799
Speaker 3: American people. Scott Jennings here on Salem. Something that has

902
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:38,880
Speaker 3: caught my attention today there is a hearing going on

903
00:49:39,120 --> 00:49:42,720
Speaker 3: up on Capitol Hill and it is producing some jaw

904
00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:48,120
Speaker 3: dropping moments. The House Judiciary Committee, the chairman is Jim Jordan,

905
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:52,440
Speaker 3: friend of the show, has been questioning the Southern Poverty

906
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:55,960
Speaker 3: Law Center interim president Brian Fair. You know, they've been

907
00:49:55,960 --> 00:50:00,480
Speaker 3: indicted on charges of wire fraud, bank fraud, and money

908
00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:04,560
Speaker 3: laundering tied to over four point one million dollars that

909
00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:09,160
Speaker 3: the SPLC paid to informants who worked in hate groups

910
00:50:09,239 --> 00:50:13,680
Speaker 3: from twenty ten to twenty twenty three. In this hearing,

911
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:18,279
Speaker 3: Republicans have been highlighting one of the informants role in

912
00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:24,120
Speaker 3: the twenty seventeen Charlottesville rally and then the revenue surge

913
00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:30,000
Speaker 3: that the SPLC received after that. You remember the Charlottesville rally.

914
00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:34,440
Speaker 3: This was the Many Fine People moment and the Unite

915
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:37,640
Speaker 3: the Right rally in Charlottesville. The SPLC got a bunch

916
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:40,040
Speaker 3: of money in the door after that whole thing. Well,

917
00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:43,000
Speaker 3: according to the information that's come out, they were actually

918
00:50:43,080 --> 00:50:46,640
Speaker 3: paying people to go there and be part of the rally.

919
00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:52,959
Speaker 3: Now Fair, in this hearing, the guy Brian Fair, who's

920
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:58,040
Speaker 3: the interim head of the SBLC, has been defending the payments.

921
00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:01,640
Speaker 3: He called it standard in tells work they were sharing

922
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:04,799
Speaker 3: with law enforcement. I'm not sure I agree with that,

923
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:06,759
Speaker 3: but that's what he has said about it. Anyway, this

924
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:10,040
Speaker 3: hearing today has produced a couple of moments. Brian Fair

925
00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:12,719
Speaker 3: is at the table. Let's start with this one. The

926
00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:16,120
Speaker 3: chairman of the committee is Jim Jordan, and he and

927
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:20,040
Speaker 3: Fair are going back and forth over the SPLC's involvement

928
00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:23,520
Speaker 3: with some of these actual hate groups cut twenty.

929
00:51:24,239 --> 00:51:26,720
Speaker 15: But the indictment says that these informants and film sources

930
00:51:26,719 --> 00:51:30,000
Speaker 15: were encouraging other people to attend these hate rallies. And

931
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:32,480
Speaker 15: I'm saying, okay, so you don't have to answer that stupid,

932
00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:34,080
Speaker 15: but is that a good thing in general?

933
00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:38,160
Speaker 16: Again, all the allegations in the indictment, do you wish

934
00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:40,600
Speaker 16: Chairman Jordan okay will be addressed.

935
00:51:41,239 --> 00:51:44,960
Speaker 15: Do you wish you hadn't have done the program? You

936
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:48,560
Speaker 15: said the program was successful, helpful, But now you're stopping it.

937
00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:57,640
Speaker 16: We stop the program because we believe hate and extremism

938
00:51:57,760 --> 00:52:04,400
Speaker 16: has migrated significantly online and into government agencies.

939
00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:05,760
Speaker 2: Wow.

940
00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:10,560
Speaker 15: Wow, that's that's that's that's.

941
00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:10,800
Speaker 1: That makes no sense.

942
00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:15,360
Speaker 15: Now recognizes I mean, mister Sherman, I've got a UC request.

943
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:19,600
Speaker 3: Did you hear the audible gasps in the room. There's

944
00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:23,120
Speaker 3: a big crowd for this hearing today. Pretty shocking stuff.

945
00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:27,560
Speaker 3: Now in another round of questioning, Jerry Nadler is in there.

946
00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:27,719
Speaker 12: Now.

947
00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:31,320
Speaker 3: He's a Democrat, and I mean he's a very liberal

948
00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:36,240
Speaker 3: Democrat from New York. No friend of any Republican anywhere.

949
00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:38,840
Speaker 3: I can assure you no, not a conservative bone in

950
00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:43,400
Speaker 3: Jerry Nadler's body. He asked a simple question to Brian

951
00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:47,240
Speaker 3: Fairhead of the SPLC about the Unite the Right rally.

952
00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:49,480
Speaker 1: Let's hear that exchange in cut twenty one.

953
00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:53,759
Speaker 10: Can you explain what actions the SBLC took before the

954
00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:57,040
Speaker 10: Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville in an attempt to

955
00:52:57,080 --> 00:52:57,960
Speaker 10: help law enforcement?

956
00:53:02,080 --> 00:53:08,960
Speaker 16: Congressman, never again, I must say that council will respond

957
00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:13,440
Speaker 16: to all allegations in the indictment in the Middle District

958
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:14,000
Speaker 16: of Alabama.

959
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:15,400
Speaker 1: And that's not an alleasia.

960
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:18,440
Speaker 16: It's part of the allegation.

961
00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:24,600
Speaker 3: Okay, Jerry Nadler was trying to give Brian Fair a

962
00:53:24,719 --> 00:53:28,640
Speaker 3: chance to say something on his own behalf, and he

963
00:53:28,680 --> 00:53:29,399
Speaker 3: couldn't do it.

964
00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:30,880
Speaker 1: He couldn't do it.

965
00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:33,720
Speaker 3: If you are watching on the video stream, you saw

966
00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:36,760
Speaker 3: Jerry Nadler was kind of slack jaw there. He couldn't

967
00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:40,480
Speaker 3: believe that that's what Brian Fair had to say. Bottom line,

968
00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:42,719
Speaker 3: based on my review of this right now, and it's

969
00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:46,400
Speaker 3: still happening there on Capitol Hill, the SBLC is having

970
00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:50,319
Speaker 3: a rough day on Capitol Hill. And this comes after

971
00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:52,760
Speaker 3: just a couple of days ago, the Department of Justice

972
00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:56,959
Speaker 3: has expanded its indictment against the Southern Poverty Law Center.

973
00:53:57,000 --> 00:54:00,960
Speaker 3: They're now alleging, in addition to the previous allegation, that

974
00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:05,920
Speaker 3: the SPLC funneled millions of dollars in tax exempt funds

975
00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:12,120
Speaker 3: to extremist organizations, and it paid for things like KKK, Robes,

976
00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:17,040
Speaker 3: cross burnings and other extremist rallies. So you have the

977
00:54:17,120 --> 00:54:21,479
Speaker 3: SPLC claiming to be the final arbiter of whose hate

978
00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:24,480
Speaker 3: group and who isn't and putting the target on the

979
00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:28,960
Speaker 3: backs of conservatives across this country and taking in all

980
00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:31,120
Speaker 3: this millions and millions of dollars.

981
00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:32,040
Speaker 1: And what were they using it for?

982
00:54:33,400 --> 00:54:35,399
Speaker 3: They were funneling it to people so they could buy

983
00:54:35,560 --> 00:54:42,040
Speaker 3: KKK robes, engaging cross burnings and stage extremist rallies.

984
00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:43,880
Speaker 1: Pretty shocking stuff.

985
00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:46,319
Speaker 3: We'll keep an eye on this Southern Poverty Law Center

986
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:49,920
Speaker 3: indictment and the hearing that's going on on Capitol Hill.

987
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:51,800
Speaker 3: We're going to take a break when we come back.

988
00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:53,560
Speaker 3: We haven't touched on this on the show yet, but

989
00:54:53,560 --> 00:54:56,640
Speaker 3: we need to get into it because closing arguments are

990
00:54:56,680 --> 00:55:01,320
Speaker 3: happening today in the Carmelo Anthony murder trial down in Texas.

991
00:55:01,320 --> 00:55:04,759
Speaker 3: We'll have legal analyst Danny Savallos. After this stay with

992
00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:08,040
Speaker 3: us and the leftists haven't had enough gut there's more.

993
00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:13,320
Speaker 3: This is the Scott Jenny Show. It is Tuesday, June

994
00:55:13,520 --> 00:55:16,919
Speaker 3: the ninth, and in sixty seconds here we'll dive into

995
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:21,680
Speaker 3: this Carmelo Anthony murder trial in Texas. We have NBC

996
00:55:21,760 --> 00:55:25,440
Speaker 3: News legal analysts Danny Savallo's standing by. He's been covering

997
00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:27,920
Speaker 3: the trial every day. He knows all the ins and outs.

998
00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:30,359
Speaker 3: But first I do want to tell you something, and

999
00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:34,719
Speaker 3: that is this our founders believed that freedom wasn't just

1000
00:55:34,760 --> 00:55:36,799
Speaker 3: a word that in fact, it was a way of life.

1001
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:39,880
Speaker 3: The freedom to move forward, the freedom to pursue what

1002
00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:43,520
Speaker 3: matters most, the freedom to live fully. But pain has

1003
00:55:43,560 --> 00:55:46,920
Speaker 3: a way of taking those freedoms away, and that's why

1004
00:55:47,120 --> 00:55:51,360
Speaker 3: relief Factor exists. Relief Factor is a one hundred percent

1005
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:58,040
Speaker 3: drug free, research based supplement that supports a healthy inflammatory response.

1006
00:55:58,080 --> 00:56:01,000
Speaker 3: Why is this important because inflammation and is the primary

1007
00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:04,320
Speaker 3: source of pain for most people. Now over a million

1008
00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:08,520
Speaker 3: Americans have tried Relief Factor, including people in the Jittings.

1009
00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:10,400
Speaker 1: Household, specifically my dad.

1010
00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:13,760
Speaker 3: No spring Chicken, my father, but hopping around like one

1011
00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:16,759
Speaker 3: of that million Americans who've tried Relief Factor, about two

1012
00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:18,920
Speaker 3: thirds go on to order more.

1013
00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:21,920
Speaker 1: Pretty high rate of success. People know that it works.

1014
00:56:21,960 --> 00:56:24,680
Speaker 3: So this year, as we celebrate two hundred and fifty

1015
00:56:24,719 --> 00:56:27,160
Speaker 3: years of freedom, I want you to ask yourself a

1016
00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:32,120
Speaker 3: simple question, are you living with the freedom that you deserve?

1017
00:56:32,719 --> 00:56:35,960
Speaker 3: Relief Factor gives you the opportunity to live pain free

1018
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:38,680
Speaker 3: and get back to the life that you love. And,

1019
00:56:38,719 --> 00:56:42,800
Speaker 3: by the way, to commemorate our country's birth, we're offering

1020
00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:47,400
Speaker 3: a special patriotic price seventeen dollars and seventy six cents

1021
00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:50,360
Speaker 3: and that is what gets you signed up for the

1022
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:52,200
Speaker 3: three week quick start. By the way, this is the

1023
00:56:52,239 --> 00:56:55,160
Speaker 3: best way to do this. You pay seventeen seventy six,

1024
00:56:55,719 --> 00:56:59,120
Speaker 3: they send you three weeks of relief Factor, and chances

1025
00:56:59,160 --> 00:57:01,120
Speaker 3: are after you take it for three weeks, you're going

1026
00:57:01,200 --> 00:57:03,879
Speaker 3: to order more. They lose money on these deals. That's

1027
00:57:03,880 --> 00:57:06,120
Speaker 3: why they do it because they're so confident it's going

1028
00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:07,919
Speaker 3: to work for you and that you'll stay with him.

1029
00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:11,120
Speaker 3: Sign up for it at relief factor dot com or

1030
00:57:11,120 --> 00:57:14,919
Speaker 3: by calling one eight hundred for relief. All right, let's

1031
00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:19,120
Speaker 3: talk about this Carmelo Anthony murder trial. In April twenty

1032
00:57:19,160 --> 00:57:23,520
Speaker 3: twenty five, a horrific crime occurred at a track meet

1033
00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:28,040
Speaker 3: in Frisco, Texas when he's seventeen year old boy named

1034
00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:34,160
Speaker 3: Carmelo Anthony brutally stabbed another male student named Austin Metcalf,

1035
00:57:34,840 --> 00:57:37,880
Speaker 3: and Metcalf ultimately succumbed to his stab wounds.

1036
00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:38,360
Speaker 1: He died.

1037
00:57:39,040 --> 00:57:41,880
Speaker 3: The case that shocked the nation is on trial. The

1038
00:57:41,960 --> 00:57:46,200
Speaker 3: jury was handed the case this morning around eleven o'clock,

1039
00:57:46,280 --> 00:57:49,320
Speaker 3: so closing arguments are over. The jury is deliberating and

1040
00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:52,960
Speaker 3: here to bring us insights into this ongoing trial. As

1041
00:57:53,040 --> 00:57:56,360
Speaker 3: NBC News legal analyst Danny Savalos, Danny, you've been covering

1042
00:57:56,360 --> 00:58:00,240
Speaker 3: this trial every single day. I set up we had

1043
00:58:00,320 --> 00:58:02,400
Speaker 3: really covered this here on the Scott Jennings Show. So

1044
00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:05,280
Speaker 3: maybe go back to the beginning. I set it up

1045
00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:06,880
Speaker 3: for the audience here, but kind of go back to

1046
00:58:06,920 --> 00:58:10,200
Speaker 3: the beginning, from the moment this happened to right now,

1047
00:58:10,840 --> 00:58:14,120
Speaker 3: Carmelo Anthony, both of these, both the suspect and the

1048
00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:17,600
Speaker 3: victim here were teenagers, and they were competing at a

1049
00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:18,120
Speaker 3: track meet.

1050
00:58:18,200 --> 00:58:18,640
Speaker 1: Is that right?

1051
00:58:19,760 --> 00:58:24,320
Speaker 17: Exactly right. So Carmelo Anthony was a track athlete who

1052
00:58:24,440 --> 00:58:28,240
Speaker 17: was visiting a tent. Now, apparently there's this pent culture

1053
00:58:28,240 --> 00:58:30,760
Speaker 17: among track and field athletes, and I was never one,

1054
00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:33,760
Speaker 17: but apparently in Texas they have tents that are set

1055
00:58:33,840 --> 00:58:38,200
Speaker 17: up on the stadium the stands, and so Carmelo Anthony

1056
00:58:38,240 --> 00:58:42,720
Speaker 17: had entered an opposing team their tent and was asked

1057
00:58:42,760 --> 00:58:44,280
Speaker 17: to leave by the victim.

1058
00:58:44,520 --> 00:58:47,120
Speaker 1: And what happened is obviously.

1059
00:58:46,640 --> 00:58:49,200
Speaker 17: The subject of a lot of dispute, but I think

1060
00:58:49,520 --> 00:58:52,480
Speaker 17: pretty clearly we can say from the testimony, at least

1061
00:58:52,480 --> 00:58:56,880
Speaker 17: in this case, that the victim shoved him or pushed him,

1062
00:58:56,920 --> 00:58:59,840
Speaker 17: or put his hands on him and Carmelo, Anthony pulled

1063
00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:03,440
Speaker 17: a knife and stab them, after which the victim died.

1064
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:07,080
Speaker 17: So that those are the I guess you could say

1065
00:59:07,120 --> 00:59:11,280
Speaker 17: the undisputed facts. But beyond that, there is a tremendous

1066
00:59:12,280 --> 00:59:14,640
Speaker 17: issue as to whether or not this was self defense

1067
00:59:14,800 --> 00:59:16,840
Speaker 17: or whether or not it was manslaughter.

1068
00:59:18,720 --> 00:59:21,320
Speaker 3: So I should go back and ask you this question.

1069
00:59:21,440 --> 00:59:23,600
Speaker 3: I said it was the murder trial. Is he charged

1070
00:59:23,640 --> 00:59:27,480
Speaker 3: with murder or something else? Here in the case he is, and.

1071
00:59:27,880 --> 00:59:31,000
Speaker 17: Really not to take away from the big story, A

1072
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:33,040
Speaker 17: lot of people have been talking about self defense, but

1073
00:59:33,120 --> 00:59:36,440
Speaker 17: I think, really, if I'm the prosecution, I'm worried about

1074
00:59:36,480 --> 00:59:39,120
Speaker 17: a lesser included offense like manslaughter. But yes, he is

1075
00:59:39,240 --> 00:59:41,720
Speaker 17: charged with murder with a mandatory minimum of five years

1076
00:59:41,720 --> 00:59:45,720
Speaker 17: and much more than that if convicted, and so that

1077
00:59:45,920 --> 00:59:48,280
Speaker 17: is what the jury is considering. If they can consider

1078
00:59:48,320 --> 00:59:52,040
Speaker 17: a lesser included offense, then manslaughter might be a possibility.

1079
00:59:52,040 --> 00:59:54,720
Speaker 17: But here's the problem. He's claiming self defense. And I

1080
00:59:54,720 --> 00:59:57,400
Speaker 17: think that's what made has made this case so interesting

1081
00:59:57,880 --> 01:00:01,040
Speaker 17: because it's raised a lot of issues of bout self defense.

1082
01:00:01,080 --> 01:00:03,520
Speaker 17: And I got to tell you, Scott, I don't think

1083
01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:06,200
Speaker 17: he's got a real good shot at self defense. I

1084
01:00:06,280 --> 01:00:09,280
Speaker 17: just don't see that happening, even though Texas law is

1085
01:00:09,360 --> 01:00:13,080
Speaker 17: relatively favorable to the defendant who claimed self defense.

1086
01:00:14,680 --> 01:00:17,920
Speaker 3: I was reading some accounts of the trial, Danny, and

1087
01:00:18,080 --> 01:00:20,720
Speaker 3: I guess they had the coroner testify in the case

1088
01:00:20,760 --> 01:00:25,440
Speaker 3: who showed the jury the pictures of the victim here

1089
01:00:26,240 --> 01:00:30,400
Speaker 3: and after the victim had been stabbed and just you know,

1090
01:00:30,440 --> 01:00:32,640
Speaker 3: his chest had been gouged by this knife.

1091
01:00:32,680 --> 01:00:33,440
Speaker 1: I guess they had.

1092
01:00:33,280 --> 01:00:38,080
Speaker 3: Pictures of his lacerated heart, and apparently this caused audible

1093
01:00:38,200 --> 01:00:42,960
Speaker 3: gasps in the courtroom and clearly some uncomfortable moments with

1094
01:00:43,040 --> 01:00:45,640
Speaker 3: the jury. When you hear things like that, When you

1095
01:00:45,800 --> 01:00:48,160
Speaker 3: see that sort of an impactful moment in a trial,

1096
01:00:48,200 --> 01:00:51,040
Speaker 3: does that tell you something about which way you think

1097
01:00:51,080 --> 01:00:53,640
Speaker 3: the jury may be leaning? Those are those the kinds

1098
01:00:53,680 --> 01:00:56,200
Speaker 3: of things that stay with a juror when they go

1099
01:00:56,240 --> 01:00:57,560
Speaker 3: into these deliberations.

1100
01:00:58,280 --> 01:01:00,560
Speaker 17: Well, they are scott And the reason is that's why

1101
01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:04,560
Speaker 17: prosecutors always put in as many autopsy photos as they

1102
01:01:04,600 --> 01:01:07,440
Speaker 17: can before the judge strikes some of them as cumulative.

1103
01:01:07,520 --> 01:01:09,600
Speaker 17: If we're up to the prosecution, they would put thirty

1104
01:01:09,920 --> 01:01:13,720
Speaker 17: autopsy photos in, but they don't, and judges don't let them.

1105
01:01:14,040 --> 01:01:16,360
Speaker 17: But I mean it's even more than that. I mean

1106
01:01:16,440 --> 01:01:18,920
Speaker 17: members of the family were told to leave the courtroom,

1107
01:01:19,320 --> 01:01:22,120
Speaker 17: and the photos included not only the autopsy, but even

1108
01:01:22,160 --> 01:01:26,400
Speaker 17: his removed heart. He had a two inch I guess

1109
01:01:26,400 --> 01:01:30,160
Speaker 17: you would say laceration. Laceration, that puncture wound really in

1110
01:01:30,240 --> 01:01:32,920
Speaker 17: the heart, which you know too, in the heart, I

1111
01:01:32,920 --> 01:01:34,920
Speaker 17: don't mean through the chest.

1112
01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:35,680
Speaker 1: I mean once it.

1113
01:01:35,680 --> 01:01:39,600
Speaker 17: Got to the heart, there was a considerable wound in there.

1114
01:01:39,840 --> 01:01:44,680
Speaker 17: And jurors even saw his actual heart removed. And none

1115
01:01:44,680 --> 01:01:46,360
Speaker 17: of this has been published that I know of, but

1116
01:01:46,960 --> 01:01:49,480
Speaker 17: according to reports, they saw his actual heart removed in

1117
01:01:49,560 --> 01:01:51,960
Speaker 17: on a table, which makes sense if you're the prosecution

1118
01:01:52,320 --> 01:01:53,920
Speaker 17: you want to show cause of death. But I mean

1119
01:01:54,160 --> 01:01:56,760
Speaker 17: talk about gruesome. I mean everybody was worn to leave.

1120
01:01:57,400 --> 01:02:01,200
Speaker 17: Those that wanted to did and and this is really

1121
01:02:01,240 --> 01:02:04,400
Speaker 17: pretty common fair though for prosecutors it really helps their case.

1122
01:02:04,880 --> 01:02:07,600
Speaker 17: So no surprise that they introduced that, and no surprise

1123
01:02:07,680 --> 01:02:08,720
Speaker 17: that it was so dramatic.

1124
01:02:10,160 --> 01:02:12,600
Speaker 3: So that sounds like one of the more dramatic parts

1125
01:02:12,600 --> 01:02:15,760
Speaker 3: of the prosecution here for the defense, you know, based

1126
01:02:15,760 --> 01:02:19,120
Speaker 3: on your judgment, have they done a good job or

1127
01:02:19,200 --> 01:02:21,640
Speaker 3: not a good job in trying to push this self

1128
01:02:21,640 --> 01:02:22,280
Speaker 3: defense side.

1129
01:02:22,200 --> 01:02:22,320
Speaker 1: Yea.

1130
01:02:22,360 --> 01:02:23,600
Speaker 3: I know it may be a week sort of a

1131
01:02:23,600 --> 01:02:26,360
Speaker 3: week theory to begin with, but have the defense attorneys

1132
01:02:26,360 --> 01:02:28,000
Speaker 3: been skillful in your opinion?

1133
01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:31,160
Speaker 17: Yeah, Scott, I know you totally get this, but I mean,

1134
01:02:31,200 --> 01:02:33,400
Speaker 17: as a defense attorney, you know I've been.

1135
01:02:33,280 --> 01:02:35,439
Speaker 1: Asked this a lot on air. Was it a good job?

1136
01:02:35,520 --> 01:02:37,640
Speaker 17: I mean, here's the thing is a defense attorney, we

1137
01:02:37,680 --> 01:02:40,000
Speaker 17: don't get to pick our facts. The prosecutors get to

1138
01:02:40,040 --> 01:02:42,400
Speaker 17: pick the facts they want to bring to trial. Sometimes

1139
01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:44,680
Speaker 17: you have a case that's just what we call, or

1140
01:02:44,680 --> 01:02:46,840
Speaker 17: at least we used to call it, a dead bang loser.

1141
01:02:46,880 --> 01:02:49,320
Speaker 17: Sometimes you have a case that the facts are awful,

1142
01:02:49,600 --> 01:02:52,240
Speaker 17: but the client wants to go to trial, so you

1143
01:02:52,400 --> 01:02:54,920
Speaker 17: do the best you can. And that's what this feels

1144
01:02:55,040 --> 01:02:57,720
Speaker 17: like to me. This should have been a plea. This

1145
01:02:57,840 --> 01:03:00,360
Speaker 17: should have been a situation where the defense comes to

1146
01:03:00,360 --> 01:03:03,000
Speaker 17: the prosecution and says, let's try to work this out

1147
01:03:03,040 --> 01:03:07,120
Speaker 17: because this isn't there really isn't a self defense option here.

1148
01:03:07,160 --> 01:03:08,760
Speaker 17: And by the way, just as an aside, one of

1149
01:03:08,840 --> 01:03:10,600
Speaker 17: the things that a defendant has to do when they

1150
01:03:10,640 --> 01:03:14,200
Speaker 17: claim self defense, because it's an affirmative defense, you have

1151
01:03:14,320 --> 01:03:17,680
Speaker 17: to admit you have to admit the underlying crime and

1152
01:03:17,720 --> 01:03:20,560
Speaker 17: then say, in addition, I feared for my life. So

1153
01:03:20,600 --> 01:03:23,240
Speaker 17: in a way, that kind of makes a manslaughter and

1154
01:03:23,400 --> 01:03:27,040
Speaker 17: unintentional killing a more difficult lift for this defense. But

1155
01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:29,680
Speaker 17: I think sometimes, you know, as a defense attorney, and

1156
01:03:29,720 --> 01:03:31,600
Speaker 17: obviously that makes me biased, But I look at this

1157
01:03:31,640 --> 01:03:34,440
Speaker 17: and I say, well, the defense did the very best

1158
01:03:34,480 --> 01:03:37,400
Speaker 17: they could with what they had. But I also feel

1159
01:03:37,400 --> 01:03:40,400
Speaker 17: like seeing this, I can almost and this is just

1160
01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:43,160
Speaker 17: my own sort of instinct from being a defense attorney

1161
01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:46,960
Speaker 17: that watching the witnesses they put on, I think they

1162
01:03:47,040 --> 01:03:49,640
Speaker 17: realized this was an uphill climb and they did the

1163
01:03:49,680 --> 01:03:52,959
Speaker 17: best they can because even some of their witnesses really

1164
01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:57,040
Speaker 17: gave the prosecution some points on cross examination. And so look,

1165
01:03:57,160 --> 01:03:59,400
Speaker 17: I mean, do I think they did a good job, Yes,

1166
01:03:59,480 --> 01:04:01,800
Speaker 17: I think, but let me qualify that. I think they

1167
01:04:01,800 --> 01:04:04,800
Speaker 17: did a good job with the horrible facts that they had.

1168
01:04:05,120 --> 01:04:07,240
Speaker 17: Do I think it's going to win. No, But the

1169
01:04:07,320 --> 01:04:09,960
Speaker 17: life of the defense attorney is losing a lot. It's

1170
01:04:10,040 --> 01:04:12,800
Speaker 17: kind of like baseball. If you've bat three hundred, that's

1171
01:04:12,840 --> 01:04:13,360
Speaker 17: pretty good.

1172
01:04:15,080 --> 01:04:18,440
Speaker 3: Danny Savallo, says an NBC News legal analyst following the

1173
01:04:18,560 --> 01:04:22,480
Speaker 3: murder trial here of Carmelo Anthony in Texas. He is

1174
01:04:22,520 --> 01:04:27,600
Speaker 3: accused of murdering another teenager named Austin Metcalf last April.

1175
01:04:27,640 --> 01:04:28,840
Speaker 1: It was a gruesome scene.

1176
01:04:28,960 --> 01:04:31,800
Speaker 3: Austin Metcalf was stabbed in the heart with a knife

1177
01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:36,880
Speaker 3: and he died in his twin brothers arms. We had

1178
01:04:36,960 --> 01:04:40,240
Speaker 3: closing arguments wrap up this morning, Danny. I assume you

1179
01:04:40,280 --> 01:04:42,880
Speaker 3: watched the closing for both the prosecution and the defense.

1180
01:04:42,920 --> 01:04:44,880
Speaker 3: Tell us this, I think for those of us who

1181
01:04:44,960 --> 01:04:48,880
Speaker 3: see movies about, you know, dramatic trials, the closing arguments

1182
01:04:48,880 --> 01:04:51,640
Speaker 3: are often posited as you know, the moment when the

1183
01:04:51,720 --> 01:04:54,840
Speaker 3: deal is sealed. But in this particular case, is it

1184
01:04:54,880 --> 01:04:57,200
Speaker 3: your view that the jurors would have had their minds

1185
01:04:57,240 --> 01:04:59,600
Speaker 3: made up prior to closing or do you think anything

1186
01:04:59,680 --> 01:05:02,800
Speaker 3: was said in the closing arguments that might have changed

1187
01:05:02,800 --> 01:05:03,520
Speaker 3: a mind in there?

1188
01:05:04,600 --> 01:05:07,600
Speaker 17: Oh, Scott, this is a question for the ages. I mean,

1189
01:05:07,680 --> 01:05:10,439
Speaker 17: if you ask a biased attorney like me will tell

1190
01:05:10,480 --> 01:05:13,000
Speaker 17: you that, oh, the closing argument is everything.

1191
01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:14,080
Speaker 1: It's where we shine.

1192
01:05:14,200 --> 01:05:17,000
Speaker 17: We say, look at me, aren't I cute? And you know,

1193
01:05:17,080 --> 01:05:19,280
Speaker 17: as a defense attorney, you want to think that you

1194
01:05:19,360 --> 01:05:23,040
Speaker 17: have this power to will your will onto the jury.

1195
01:05:23,600 --> 01:05:26,960
Speaker 17: But the reality is I think jurors make decisions early on.

1196
01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:29,720
Speaker 17: There's a lot of studies that suggest, although I wouldn't

1197
01:05:29,720 --> 01:05:32,400
Speaker 17: say they prove that, you know, from the opening statement,

1198
01:05:32,480 --> 01:05:35,640
Speaker 17: jurors are making up their minds, and then all those

1199
01:05:35,640 --> 01:05:38,960
Speaker 17: studies are probably worthless because after all, every jury is

1200
01:05:38,960 --> 01:05:41,120
Speaker 17: full of a bunch of individuals who are different from

1201
01:05:41,120 --> 01:05:43,800
Speaker 17: the last jury. So it is a question for the ages.

1202
01:05:43,880 --> 01:05:46,240
Speaker 17: I don't know, but I mean that's why we have

1203
01:05:46,320 --> 01:05:49,920
Speaker 17: closing arguments, is that we believe that our summation and

1204
01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:52,040
Speaker 17: our argument, it's the one time we're able to argue,

1205
01:05:52,080 --> 01:05:55,600
Speaker 17: not during opening. During opening we just restate the facts,

1206
01:05:55,720 --> 01:05:56,680
Speaker 17: the best facts.

1207
01:05:56,440 --> 01:05:57,040
Speaker 1: For our case.

1208
01:05:57,600 --> 01:05:59,800
Speaker 17: But during closing that's our one chance to talk to

1209
01:05:59,840 --> 01:06:03,240
Speaker 17: thea about what we think the evidence shows. So I mean,

1210
01:06:03,840 --> 01:06:06,000
Speaker 17: do I think it possibly swayed them. I don't know

1211
01:06:06,080 --> 01:06:08,360
Speaker 17: that the defense really had anything to work with here.

1212
01:06:08,720 --> 01:06:11,560
Speaker 17: I mean, I just think this is a case where

1213
01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:16,520
Speaker 17: it was pretty I mean, the facts against this defendant

1214
01:06:16,880 --> 01:06:19,840
Speaker 17: were really tough. I mean, after all, you know, you

1215
01:06:19,880 --> 01:06:22,160
Speaker 17: have a you don't really have a self defense case.

1216
01:06:22,480 --> 01:06:25,520
Speaker 17: You have what appears to be an unreasonable response to force,

1217
01:06:25,600 --> 01:06:28,120
Speaker 17: because you can only meet force with commensur at force.

1218
01:06:28,120 --> 01:06:30,000
Speaker 17: In other words, you can meet a knife with a knife,

1219
01:06:30,040 --> 01:06:31,959
Speaker 17: a gun with a gun. You can't meet a shove

1220
01:06:32,040 --> 01:06:34,640
Speaker 17: with a knife. And that's what happened here. And none

1221
01:06:34,640 --> 01:06:36,600
Speaker 17: of the facts are really working out for the defense.

1222
01:06:37,840 --> 01:06:40,200
Speaker 3: All right, we got about thirty seconds, Danny. I read

1223
01:06:40,200 --> 01:06:43,520
Speaker 3: that Carmelo Anthony and his family set up a defense

1224
01:06:44,440 --> 01:06:48,760
Speaker 3: fundraising mechanism and they raised over six hundred thousand dollars.

1225
01:06:49,040 --> 01:06:52,240
Speaker 3: And then I also read that maybe that money was

1226
01:06:52,240 --> 01:06:55,960
Speaker 3: spent on other things and they wound up using public defenders.

1227
01:06:56,000 --> 01:06:56,640
Speaker 1: Is that true?

1228
01:06:56,720 --> 01:06:59,360
Speaker 3: Did they misspend the money on their defense and end

1229
01:06:59,480 --> 01:07:01,520
Speaker 3: up using public defenders in the.

1230
01:07:01,440 --> 01:07:06,200
Speaker 17: Case, God, I have seen that everywhere, but I haven't

1231
01:07:06,400 --> 01:07:09,439
Speaker 17: really gotten it from a reliable source. I've mostly seen

1232
01:07:09,480 --> 01:07:11,960
Speaker 17: it on social media, and it's the kind of thing

1233
01:07:11,960 --> 01:07:15,520
Speaker 17: that wouldn't be publicized, so I would be if it's true,

1234
01:07:15,640 --> 01:07:19,720
Speaker 17: it's astonishing because six hundred thousand would have gone to

1235
01:07:19,840 --> 01:07:22,360
Speaker 17: a solid defense. Now, let me just say having the

1236
01:07:22,360 --> 01:07:25,680
Speaker 17: public defender is not a loss. Public defenders are terrific lawyers.

1237
01:07:25,760 --> 01:07:30,280
Speaker 17: But it's true that they had that much and failed

1238
01:07:30,280 --> 01:07:32,400
Speaker 17: to use it or lost it, that would be shocking.

1239
01:07:33,520 --> 01:07:37,560
Speaker 3: Danny Savallos is an NBCDWS legal analyst and one of

1240
01:07:37,600 --> 01:07:39,840
Speaker 3: the best in the business. Danny will be tracking this

1241
01:07:39,960 --> 01:07:44,080
Speaker 3: as the jury deliberates. Carmela, Hey, I love that. Hey,

1242
01:07:44,400 --> 01:07:46,600
Speaker 3: that's the most important credential for getting on the show.

1243
01:07:46,640 --> 01:07:48,440
Speaker 3: And you cleared the bar. We got to take a

1244
01:07:48,440 --> 01:07:51,640
Speaker 3: break more after this. See it, Danny, true.

1245
01:07:51,520 --> 01:07:54,000
Speaker 1: Justice in the American way. Look up in the sky.

1246
01:07:54,120 --> 01:07:57,680
Speaker 1: It's a bird, it's a plane. It's the Scott Jenny Show.

1247
01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:00,360
Speaker 1: Look up in the sky.

1248
01:08:01,080 --> 01:08:07,440
Speaker 3: Indeed, massive news today related to NASA Artemis three, the

1249
01:08:07,480 --> 01:08:10,520
Speaker 3: next mission in this Artemis program that we've heard so

1250
01:08:10,640 --> 01:08:14,800
Speaker 3: much about, has had its crew of four astronauts officially

1251
01:08:14,840 --> 01:08:18,599
Speaker 3: announced today. Now, if you've not been following this, Artemis

1252
01:08:18,640 --> 01:08:22,519
Speaker 3: two was the recent successful flyby of the Moon. How

1253
01:08:22,520 --> 01:08:24,920
Speaker 3: could you have missed it? Everybody was captivated by this,

1254
01:08:25,000 --> 01:08:28,760
Speaker 3: and that was piloted by four brave American heroes. Their

1255
01:08:28,840 --> 01:08:31,200
Speaker 3: journey captivated the nation and the world. It was the

1256
01:08:31,240 --> 01:08:33,519
Speaker 3: first time we've been back around the Moon since nineteen

1257
01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:36,919
Speaker 3: seventy two. And now the next step in the Artemis

1258
01:08:36,920 --> 01:08:39,800
Speaker 3: program is taking focus the names of the four astronauts

1259
01:08:40,120 --> 01:08:44,120
Speaker 3: that we'll do Artemis three are as follows Commander Randy Bresnik.

1260
01:08:44,439 --> 01:08:48,160
Speaker 3: We have Andrew Douglas, Frank Rubio, and Luca Parmitano here

1261
01:08:48,200 --> 01:08:51,920
Speaker 3: to discuss this announcement today. What is Artemis three and

1262
01:08:51,960 --> 01:08:54,040
Speaker 3: when we're going back to the moon? Is our friend

1263
01:08:54,360 --> 01:08:58,599
Speaker 3: Senior Advisor and Press Secretary for NASA, Bethany Stevens. Bethany,

1264
01:08:58,600 --> 01:09:01,120
Speaker 3: Welcome back to the Scott Jennings Show. Oh, looks like

1265
01:09:01,160 --> 01:09:03,760
Speaker 3: you had a successful announcement today. Tell us about these

1266
01:09:03,840 --> 01:09:06,719
Speaker 3: four astronauts and what they are going to be doing

1267
01:09:06,760 --> 01:09:08,040
Speaker 3: here on Artemis three.

1268
01:09:09,560 --> 01:09:10,840
Speaker 18: Thanks so much for having me, Scott.

1269
01:09:10,920 --> 01:09:11,719
Speaker 3: Glad to be back.

1270
01:09:12,439 --> 01:09:15,679
Speaker 18: We did have a successful announcement today. We are looking

1271
01:09:15,720 --> 01:09:18,639
Speaker 18: forward to Artemis three in twenty twenty seven.

1272
01:09:19,400 --> 01:09:20,160
Speaker 4: We announced the.

1273
01:09:20,160 --> 01:09:23,160
Speaker 18: Four crew members today, but we also importantly announced some

1274
01:09:23,200 --> 01:09:26,920
Speaker 18: more details about this mission that will be taking place

1275
01:09:26,960 --> 01:09:30,080
Speaker 18: to prove technologies ahead of a lunar landing in twenty

1276
01:09:30,120 --> 01:09:32,679
Speaker 18: twenty eight. It's going to be one of the most

1277
01:09:32,680 --> 01:09:36,439
Speaker 18: complex missions that NASA's ever undertaken, and we know that

1278
01:09:36,520 --> 01:09:38,960
Speaker 18: these four are the right people for the job. So

1279
01:09:39,200 --> 01:09:41,360
Speaker 18: looking forward to a successful mission.

1280
01:09:42,600 --> 01:09:45,559
Speaker 3: All right, So tell me, so, are are they going

1281
01:09:45,560 --> 01:09:47,920
Speaker 3: to be the astronauts that go to the moon? Or

1282
01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:50,640
Speaker 3: are these astronauts doing something in the interim.

1283
01:09:50,360 --> 01:09:55,240
Speaker 18: Hereor these astronauts are proving the technologies of the lunar landers.

1284
01:09:55,280 --> 01:09:58,519
Speaker 18: So this mission will take place in Earth orbit, so

1285
01:09:58,720 --> 01:10:01,439
Speaker 18: not necessarily going to Moon. But they're going to be

1286
01:10:01,479 --> 01:10:04,879
Speaker 18: dogging with both the Blue Origin and the SpaceX landers

1287
01:10:05,320 --> 01:10:07,360
Speaker 18: making sure that we're able to do that, just like

1288
01:10:07,400 --> 01:10:09,599
Speaker 18: we did in Apollo nine. We're going to be doing

1289
01:10:09,600 --> 01:10:14,000
Speaker 18: that here now, making sure that these are capable of

1290
01:10:14,479 --> 01:10:17,840
Speaker 18: landing our astronauts putting American bootprints back on the Moon

1291
01:10:18,240 --> 01:10:20,200
Speaker 18: in twenty twenty eight. But I know we've spoken about

1292
01:10:20,240 --> 01:10:22,559
Speaker 18: this previously. It's not just about landing on the Moon,

1293
01:10:22,640 --> 01:10:25,800
Speaker 18: putting a blootprint, putting down a flag. We're actually going

1294
01:10:25,840 --> 01:10:28,320
Speaker 18: to stay on the Moon. We're starting a moon base

1295
01:10:28,439 --> 01:10:31,000
Speaker 18: and we're starting to build that early next year, and

1296
01:10:31,080 --> 01:10:34,360
Speaker 18: eventually we will have astronauts going on regular missions to

1297
01:10:35,240 --> 01:10:38,599
Speaker 18: lift and work on the Moon. So exciting things ahead

1298
01:10:38,600 --> 01:10:39,040
Speaker 18: for NASA.

1299
01:10:40,280 --> 01:10:42,800
Speaker 3: Now, I've read recently, and I know you guys at

1300
01:10:42,880 --> 01:10:46,080
Speaker 3: NASA work closely, and you mentioned both with SpaceX and

1301
01:10:46,160 --> 01:10:49,400
Speaker 3: with Blue Origin, And I was reading recently and saw

1302
01:10:49,400 --> 01:10:52,360
Speaker 3: the video Blue Origin had a bit of an unfortunate

1303
01:10:52,400 --> 01:10:56,440
Speaker 3: explosion on a launch pad. Did that have any impact

1304
01:10:56,560 --> 01:10:59,240
Speaker 3: on the Artemis program or is that something you sort

1305
01:10:59,280 --> 01:11:01,720
Speaker 3: of build in, you know, expectations you're going to have

1306
01:11:01,920 --> 01:11:05,120
Speaker 3: things like that. Are we still on the calendar that

1307
01:11:05,160 --> 01:11:07,000
Speaker 3: you want to be on in order to get to

1308
01:11:07,040 --> 01:11:09,439
Speaker 3: the Moon by twenty twenty eight?

1309
01:11:10,840 --> 01:11:13,599
Speaker 18: Yeah, NASA administer to Jared Isaacman has said, and it's

1310
01:11:13,600 --> 01:11:16,320
Speaker 18: worth noting he was on the ground down in Cape

1311
01:11:16,360 --> 01:11:20,439
Speaker 18: Canaveral the day after that anomaly occurred, but he is

1312
01:11:20,479 --> 01:11:24,080
Speaker 18: projected confidence in our timelines we are. Blue Origin has

1313
01:11:24,080 --> 01:11:28,000
Speaker 18: also projected confidence in our timelines. We're still on tracks

1314
01:11:28,000 --> 01:11:30,719
Speaker 18: for twenty twenty seven. And I think it's also important

1315
01:11:30,760 --> 01:11:35,000
Speaker 18: to note that with great adversity and challenges like this,

1316
01:11:35,200 --> 01:11:38,800
Speaker 18: we typically see great innovations that make us come back

1317
01:11:38,840 --> 01:11:42,679
Speaker 18: stronger than we have before. We're confident in Blue Origins

1318
01:11:42,760 --> 01:11:45,920
Speaker 18: ability to recover from this and to get back to

1319
01:11:45,960 --> 01:11:49,400
Speaker 18: flying soon and prove their technologies, but are necessary for

1320
01:11:49,600 --> 01:11:52,080
Speaker 18: Artemis three and four, Artemis four in the meantime.

1321
01:11:53,280 --> 01:11:56,000
Speaker 3: All right, and final question for you, Bethany. I know

1322
01:11:56,120 --> 01:11:59,400
Speaker 3: and we've read China also trying to get to the Moon.

1323
01:11:59,640 --> 01:12:02,800
Speaker 3: They'd like to put astronauts on the Moon. What is

1324
01:12:02,840 --> 01:12:06,439
Speaker 3: our best guess over at NASA. Are they ahead of us?

1325
01:12:06,520 --> 01:12:09,200
Speaker 3: Are they tracking with us? Are we going to beat

1326
01:12:09,320 --> 01:12:11,559
Speaker 3: China back to the moon? I think every American wants

1327
01:12:11,560 --> 01:12:13,800
Speaker 3: to know, can we beat the Chinese here in this

1328
01:12:14,200 --> 01:12:16,160
Speaker 3: space race to get boots on the moon.

1329
01:12:17,439 --> 01:12:18,160
Speaker 1: I'll tell you I.

1330
01:12:18,160 --> 01:12:20,559
Speaker 18: Was just with this crew and they were just speaking

1331
01:12:21,040 --> 01:12:24,120
Speaker 18: with one of our representatives in Congress and they were

1332
01:12:24,160 --> 01:12:26,400
Speaker 18: asked the same question and their response was, hell, Yes,

1333
01:12:26,920 --> 01:12:28,679
Speaker 18: we are going to be China back to the Moon.

1334
01:12:29,080 --> 01:12:32,599
Speaker 18: It's a paramount importance. We are in the next space race.

1335
01:12:32,800 --> 01:12:35,320
Speaker 18: And China said that they're going to land before the

1336
01:12:35,400 --> 01:12:39,719
Speaker 18: end of twenty thirty. The administrator of NASAGI at Isaac

1337
01:12:39,760 --> 01:12:41,880
Speaker 18: Men has said that we are going to land before

1338
01:12:41,920 --> 01:12:45,559
Speaker 18: the end of twenty twenty eight. So, as you said,

1339
01:12:45,640 --> 01:12:48,799
Speaker 18: it's going to come down to months and days, not years,

1340
01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:50,960
Speaker 18: and we have a challenge in front of us. But

1341
01:12:51,040 --> 01:12:53,439
Speaker 18: one thing I know about Americans, they love competition and

1342
01:12:53,520 --> 01:12:54,400
Speaker 18: they certainly.

1343
01:12:54,120 --> 01:12:54,920
Speaker 1: Rise to the challenge.

1344
01:12:55,040 --> 01:12:57,519
Speaker 18: Just look at the last several Olympics.

1345
01:12:58,000 --> 01:13:00,840
Speaker 3: I love that Bethy Stevens is the Press Secretary and

1346
01:13:00,920 --> 01:13:04,000
Speaker 3: senior advisor over at NASA. Bethany, you've been doing a

1347
01:13:04,000 --> 01:13:07,519
Speaker 3: great job bringing information about the Artemis program to the

1348
01:13:07,520 --> 01:13:10,160
Speaker 3: American people, and we are grateful for your time. We'll

1349
01:13:10,200 --> 01:13:12,880
Speaker 3: have you back in Congrats to the four astronauts. We'll

1350
01:13:12,920 --> 01:13:16,400
Speaker 3: be doing Artemis three. NASA making that announcement this morning.

1351
01:13:16,479 --> 01:13:18,680
Speaker 3: We are out of time today. We'll be back with

1352
01:13:18,760 --> 01:13:22,320
Speaker 3: more breaking news tomorrow, common sense for the American people.

1353
01:13:22,360 --> 01:13:24,240
Speaker 1: Thanks for listening. I'm Scott Jennings. See you then.
