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 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 1: for the American people. Welcome to the Scott Jennings Show.

3
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 2: WNBA player Sophie Cunningham standing firm and standing against men

4
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:24,280
Speaker 2: being allowed to play in women's sports. Fresh audio from

5
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 2: the Indiana Fever Star. You don't want to miss that.

6
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 2: Lots going on up on Capitol Hill the last several hours,

7
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 2: all the latest, plus we have two members of the

8
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 2: House calling in to discuss these issues. Important conversations coming

9
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 2: along today, and a campaign finance scandal brewing with Democrats

10
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 2: taking advantage of the elderly, especially in Michigan. Shocking details

11
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 2: you don't want to miss today, Thursday, July the twenty third,

12
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 2: I'm Scott Hittings broadcasting for Salem and we come to

13
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 2: you live today from the nation's capital. On this day,

14
00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 2: eighteen eighty five, Ulysses S. Grant died at the age

15
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 2: of sixty three. The Great Civil War general and former

16
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 2: president had defeated the Confederacy and preserve the Union. But

17
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 2: now Grant was fighting two final battles. The first was

18
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 2: against terminal throat cancer, the second against personal bankruptcy. A

19
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 2: dishonest business partner had wiped him out, and Grant knew

20
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 2: that he was dying. He feared he would leave his

21
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 2: wife Julia with nothing. So, unable to speak and suffering

22
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 2: terrible pain, Grant began furiously writing his memoirs. Someone with

23
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 2: a fair amount of experience in the publishing industry learned

24
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,199
Speaker 2: that Grant was about to sign a book contract paying

25
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 2: him only ten percent of the profits. Now, Grant was

26
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 2: never very good in business. It was a failing that

27
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 2: plagued him his entire life outside of his military and

28
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:51,559
Speaker 2: political service. So the man from the publishing industry rushed

29
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 2: to Grant's home to try to stop this bad deal

30
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 2: and to offer him a better one. This man said,

31
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 2: I can give you seventy percent of theits. The man

32
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 2: encouraged him, reviewed the pages and recognized immediately that Grant's

33
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 2: plainspoken account of the Civil War in his life was

34
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 2: something very special. Grant agreed to the new deal. He

35
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 2: finished the three hundred and thirty six thousand word manuscript,

36
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 2: and then he died just a few days after completion,

37
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 2: on July the twenty third. Then, his mysterious benefactor, well,

38
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 2: he devised a brilliant campaign. Ten thousand salesmen, many of

39
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 2: them Union veterans would go door to door selling this

40
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 2: two volume memoir, mostly across the North. It became one

41
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 2: of the greatest publishing successes of the nineteenth century, eventually

42
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 2: earning President Grant's widow, Julius, some four hundred and fifty

43
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,399
Speaker 2: thousand dollars, which is the equivalent of more than fourteen

44
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 2: million dollars today. Who was the man that saved Grant's

45
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 2: family and gave America one of its greatest memoirs. Well,

46
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 2: his name was Samuel Clemens. Of course you know him

47
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 2: better as marked as for today's news. A stunning warning

48
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 2: today from the US Secret Service. The agency has already

49
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:12,079
Speaker 2: investigated more than ten thousand threats against President Trump and

50
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 2: other elected officials and protected officials this year. That's a

51
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 2: forty percent increase in threats over the same time last year.

52
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 2: Secret Service Director Sean Kerran tells The New York Post

53
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 2: that the threat environment is quote off the charts, the

54
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 2: worst he has seen in twenty four years. Do we

55
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 2: have a left wing violence problem in this country?

56
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 3: You bet we do.

57
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 4: That.

58
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 2: Our president and other senior officials are constantly in danger.

59
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 2: Of course, when politicians and pundits constantly portray them as

60
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 2: tyrants and existential threats and his nazis, what do you

61
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 2: expect other than violent outcomes. Here's one from the world

62
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 2: of sports. WNBA star Sophie Cunningham standing out today as

63
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 2: a beacon of common sense in a league that is

64
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 2: often fueled by absolute nonsense. Cunningham plays for the Indiana Fever,

65
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 2: same team as Caitlin Clark, and she Cunningham is taking

66
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 2: a stand against allowing men to play in women's sports,

67
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 2: something with which the vast majority of the country agrees.

68
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 2: But as you know, the sports world is often an

69
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 2: upside down world, and this has set off all sorts

70
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 2: of controversy. But Sophie Cunningham refuses to back down, even

71
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 2: when hounded hounded by woke sports journalists. I want you

72
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 2: to listen to this interaction cut six.

73
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 5: I'm that same vein and that story with the ESPN

74
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 5: you talked about wanting to protect young girls who shouldn't

75
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 5: have to go against biological men.

76
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 3: Just can you expand your viewpoint on that.

77
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 6: I mean, I think I said what I said.

78
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 5: I think it's kind of common sense, and I think

79
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 5: I always believe in that. I think it's really important

80
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,799
Speaker 5: to protect children and that's little girls who are also

81
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 5: involved in that category. And so I stand on what

82
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 5: I said, and I'm always do you see.

83
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 3: Your advocacy on that like taking any form going forward?

84
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 3: You know, I don't know. I didn't.

85
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 5: I'm not a very political person, but I do have beliefs,

86
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,479
Speaker 5: I have morals, and I'll always stand on those and

87
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 5: be true true to who I am. And I think

88
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 5: people are going to take it how they want to

89
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 5: take it. But I've never even really said anything about that,

90
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 5: And so when it comes just to protecting young girls

91
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 5: in sport and women in sport, I feel very strongly

92
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 5: about that. I think that's why you have Title nine,

93
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 5: That's why you have some of the greats in women's sports.

94
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 5: If Title nine and women's sports weren't protected, then you

95
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 5: wouldn't hear about any type of women in sport. And

96
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 5: so I think in the future it's just really important

97
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 5: to protect Sophie Cunningham.

98
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 2: I like her, good head on her shoulders, a common sense,

99
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 2: critical thinker working in a world of woke lunatics. Good player,

100
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 2: too good for her, and good for the Indiana Fever.

101
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 2: A few weeks ago we told you about Act Blue.

102
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 2: The Democrat fundraising platform. They're in trouble, they're under investigation.

103
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 2: The company's leader took the Fifth Amendment before Congress. Well,

104
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 2: there is an update today and this is an absolute scandal.

105
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 7: Now.

106
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 2: This is coming in from our friend Charlie Leduff, who

107
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 2: has a great podcast up in Michigan called the no

108
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 2: BS News Hour, and he has a new site called

109
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 2: The Michigan Enjoyer. Charlie found eighty eight year old Elizabeth

110
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,239
Speaker 2: Waffle living on a modest pension in a rundown trailer.

111
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 2: Her house had burned down two years ago. She owns

112
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 2: no computer and has but spotty internet service, and yet

113
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 2: campaign finance records list this eighty eight year old woman

114
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 2: as making fourteen thousand, six hundred and ninety six political

115
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 2: donations through Act Blue, totaling more than one hundred and

116
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 2: fifty thousand dollars over five years. That would mean nearly

117
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 2: eight donations every single day. Her response, when confronted with

118
00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 2: the records, quote one hundred and fifty thousand. Hell no,

119
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 2: I don't have that kind of money.

120
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:03,039
Speaker 8: Now.

121
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 2: She acknowledges making a few small democratic donations, but the

122
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 2: records reportedly show contributions from multiple addresses, sometimes both on

123
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 2: the same day and donations to candidates that she says

124
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 2: she's never even heard of. They also show forty seven

125
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 2: donations to Michigan's Socialist Senate candidate Abdul l Sied over

126
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 2: the past two years. Now l Sied proudly claims to

127
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 2: reject corporate pack money, and he boasts about his small

128
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 2: dollar fundraising operation. Well, now he and Act Blue have

129
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 2: some questions to answer. Taking advantage of an elderly widow

130
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 2: to create the appearance of a grassroots fundraising operation would

131
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 2: not merely be a campaign finance scandal. It would be

132
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 2: a disgusting act of exploitation. The party that claims it

133
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 2: wants to protect seniors, they have some explaining to do.

134
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 2: I recommend you read all about this from our friend

135
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 2: Charlie Leduff in the Michigan Enjoyer Capitol Hill. A little

136
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 2: while ago, the US House voted to stop President Trump

137
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 2: from waging war against Iran. All Democrats voted yes, so

138
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 2: did four Republicans Barrett Fitzpatrick Massey and Davidson now Over.

139
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 3: In the Senate.

140
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 2: Same resolution just failed a little while ago, forty seven

141
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 2: to forty nine.

142
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 3: So the President's powers continue.

143
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 2: But still the House rebuke has to sting a little

144
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 2: bit on the plus side for Trump. The House Republicans,

145
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 2: under the leadership of Magic Mike Johnson the Speaker, did

146
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 2: clear the decks of several issues yesterday. In one day,

147
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 2: the Republicans passed three major bills, the Annual Defense Policy

148
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 2: Package they call it the NDAA, a ban on lawmakers

149
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 2: trading stocks, and a budget resolution to allow for reconciliation

150
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 2: three point zero and that does include the Save America Act. Now,

151
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 2: our friend, Congressman Brandon Gill points out that ninety percent

152
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 2: of Americans agree that members of Congress should not be

153
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 2: able to trade stocks and that you should have to

154
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 2: show an ID to vote. Yet, and yet one hundred

155
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 2: and ninety eight Democrats just voted against both of those things.

156
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 2: We'll assume that we'll hear more about that in the

157
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 2: fall election, or at least we should.

158
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 3: I think it would be good strategy.

159
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 2: Pretty clear though, that Senate Republicans won't be taking up

160
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 2: the reconciliation bill before election day. Leader Thune says his

161
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 2: chamber wants to solve the September thirtieth funding fight.

162
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 3: First.

163
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 2: If they don't, of course, the government will shut down.

164
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 2: So as usual, we have high drama up on Capitol Hill.

165
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 2: Now when it comes to supplements, let's talk about that.

166
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 2: Two things matter most. Hey is this work?

167
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 3: And Hey? Can I trust it?

168
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 2: We hear from people who've taken Relief Factor every day,

169
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 2: who emphatically answer both questions in the affirmative, and they

170
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,839
Speaker 2: share their stories. I can tell you about Relief Factor,

171
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 2: and I often do. I'd rather let the customers do

172
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 2: the talking. Here's a note from Chris. He spent years

173
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 2: doing physical work. He had sore feet. At the end

174
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 2: of the day, he tries Relief Factor and he felt

175
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 2: so good. He did something he'd never done before. He

176
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 2: took off running. In fact, he ran a half marathon.

177
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 2: Now he tells all of his friends about Relief Factor,

178
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 2: and we're telling all of you for mister Chris. It

179

190
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 2: audio from mister Gill right after this stay with us.

191
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 3: Hey, it's Scott Jennings. Have you ever thought.

192
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 2: About how important reliable energy is to your life?

193
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 3: You know, it does more than just light up your home.

Speaker 2: It creates opportunities for entire higher communities, large and small alike.

195
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,199
Speaker 2: That is why Duke Energy is more than just an

Speaker 2: Thank you for watching the streams at the Salem News

214
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 2: Channel app or on Amazon, or on Pluto or on Roku,

215
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 2: a lot of places to get the show and all

216
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,439
Speaker 2: your favorite shows from Salem. We're grateful for your loyalty

217

Speaker 2: and grateful for your attention. If you're a regular listener

218
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 2: of the show, you know that a great friend of

219
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:33,839
Speaker 2: our show here is the great Congressman from Texas, Brandon Gill.

220
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 2: Brandon is in his first term and already, you know,

221
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 2: sometimes people call him a rising star. I don't think

222
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 2: he's rising anymore. I think he has achieved the top

223
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 2: of the heap in Washington, at least as it relates

224
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 2: to making the Libs look ridiculous in front of congressional committees.

225
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 2: I sometimes watch these committees and I think, what are

226
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 2: these people doing this is a wasted opportunity. Brandon Gill

227
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 2: never misses, and he never wastes an opportunity. He had

228
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 2: the Smithsonian hearings this week. He made the Smithsonian people

229
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 2: look ridiculous. And yesterday he had the president of the

230
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 2: American Bar Association up there to testify. And boy did

231
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,079
Speaker 2: Brandon Gill do some work. Got a couple of clips

232
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 2: for you. Let's listen. First, they're sparring over transgender justices

233
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,839
Speaker 2: on the scotis the Supreme Court cut number four, so.

234
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 10: Transgenders haven't been represented on the Supreme Court. Do you

235
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 10: think that it's important that the next Supreme Court justice

236
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 10: be transgender?

237
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 6: The ABA does not subscribe to any particular quotas.

238
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 10: I'm not asking about a quote. I'm asking about representation, diversity, equity,

239
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:45,199
Speaker 10: and inclusion.

240
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 6: The ABA supports diversity in all of its forms, and.

241
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 10: If transgender has been included on the US Supreme Court.

242
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 6: The ABA supports the full spectrum of.

243
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 10: You think that it's a problem that the transgender community

244
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 10: is never had representation on the US Supreme Court.

245
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 6: The ABA believes in diversity, equity and inclusion.

246
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,719
Speaker 10: And I'm asking you about diversity equity and inclusion. I'm

247
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 10: asking you about inclusion of the transgender community.

248
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 6: We believe that people ought to bring their entire self

249
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 6: to whatever role they're surveying.

250
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 10: You're refusing to answer my question. Do you think that

251
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 10: it's important that we have a transgender Supreme Court justice?

252
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 10: I believe that it's in order to include that community.

253
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 6: I believe that it is always important. The ABA believes

254
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 6: that is always important to support and encourage diversity.

255
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 10: So we should have a transgender Supreme Court justice.

256
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 6: Diversity has many forms, and we believe.

257
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 10: That you think if you're not answering in a straightforward way,

258
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 10: do you think that's because of your own implicit bias?

259
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 6: I believe that I'm trying to explain that the ABA

260
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 6: does not set quotas and does not believe that you

261
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 6: have implicit transphobia. The ABA believes that diversity in all

262
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 6: of its forms is important and helps the profession more globally.

263
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 2: Now, the term implicit bias, This is where brand and

264
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 2: Gil really dug in, because the ABA has an official

265
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 2: policy that says we all we all have implicit biases.

266
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 2: So Brandon Gil lasered in on this, and here's the

267
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 2: next round.

268
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 3: Cut Number eight According.

269
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 10: To the ABA's website, quote all of us have implicit biases?

270
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 11: Would you agree with that statement?

271
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 6: The ABA believes that diversity, equity inclusion improves.

272
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 10: Would you agree with the statement that quote all of

273
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 10: us have implicit biases?

274
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 11: From the ABA's website.

275
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 6: The ABA believes that diversity in all of.

276
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 10: It is that a yes. It's a yes or no question.

277
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 10: Do you believe that all of us have implicit biases?

278
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 10: As your website says, the ABA.

279
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 6: Looks to remove barriers and we exist that It's.

280
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 10: Not my question, ma'am, do you believe that all of

281
00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 10: us have implicit biases?

282
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 11: Expressed?

283
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 6: I've expressed what the AGA is doing.

284
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 10: That is that is the ABA's position, as expressed by

285
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 10: their their website.

286
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 11: Against which groups do you have implicit biases?

287
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 6: The ABA believes that it's important to always ex.

288
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 10: Are you going to fail a buster? Because it doesn't

289
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 10: make you sound very good. I'm going to ask you again,

290
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,479
Speaker 10: which against which groups do you have implicit biases?

291
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 6: It's important to always examine everyone's point of view and

292
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 6: where they may.

293
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 11: Need to consider what about your point of view?

294
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 6: I am here as the president of the American Bar Association.

295
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,520

Speaker 2: in time to expose these utter morons for who they

307
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:25,199
Speaker 2: really are. They say things and they think we'll never

308
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 2: be called on this, and then they run into Brandon

309
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,879

Speaker 2: about who you are trusting for medicare advice.

314
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 3: And I'll be honest, and you know this, The system's amiss.

315
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 2: My parents have seen firsthand how easy it is to

316
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 2: get steered into a plan that isn't quite the best fit.

317
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 3: That's why I like the advisors at Chapter.

318
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 2: Now, my mom just did a review of her Medicare

319
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:57,919
Speaker 2: plan with Chapter. She thought she was already in a

320
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 2: solid plan. There was nothing obviously wrong. But in less

321
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 2: than twenty minutes Chapter took a look at my mom's

322
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,199
Speaker 2: deal and said, hey, we can get you the same coverage,

323
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 2: but for six hundred dollars less per year, same coverage,

324
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 2: same protection, but money back in her pocket. I highly

325
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 2: recommend you call up Chapter. They can do the same

326
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 2: thing for you. Dial pound two to fifty you say

327
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 2: Medicare plan, or go to ask Chapter dot org. Slash

328

Speaker 12: You want to drive a leftist crazy, tell the truth

331
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 12: and keep smiling.

332
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 9: This is the Scott Jennings Show.

333
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 2: Coming up in sixty seconds from California, the great Congressman

334
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 2: Tom McClintock will join us with an update from Capitol Hill.

335
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 2: Talk to him shortly. First, I want to talk to

336
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 2: you about America two fifty. You know, the July fourth

337
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 2: holiday came and went, but we're still celebrating America two

338
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,200
Speaker 2: fifty and you might be wondering, what can I do

339
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:55,400
Speaker 2: that's meaningful, that will have a lasting impact on America

340
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 2: two fifty as we think about our anniversary, Well, my

341
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 2: advice is this, and you heard me do it on

342
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 2: this very show, and I was proud to do it.

343
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 2: Take ten minutes and read, read out loud the Declaration

344
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,640
Speaker 2: of Independence. Now, my friends over at Americans for Prosperity

345
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 2: have launched the Declaration Project. It's a nationwide effort to

346
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:19,120
Speaker 2: help America rediscover the principles that made this country exceptional dignity, freedom, opportunity,

347
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:23,120
Speaker 2: self government. The Declaration tells us that all men are

348
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 2: created equal, that our rights come from our creator, and

349
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 2: government derives its just powers from the consent of the government.

350
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 2: These truths are not meant just to hang in a museum.

351
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 2: They are the foundation of American liberty then and now.

352
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 2: So my advice, get the Declaration of Independence. Read it

353
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 2: aloud with your family and your friends. And when you do,

354
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 2: you will feel so much pride in our country. I

355
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 2: promise you you read this out loud, you'll feel like

356
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:52,239
Speaker 2: a founding father. Sans wig. But you'll feel like a

357
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 2: founding father when you do it. There's no better time

358
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 2: to reconnect with the document that started at all.

359
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 3: Take the pledge to read the declaration.

360
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:03,120
Speaker 2: Go to a two fifty toolkit dot com slash Scott.

361
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,919
Speaker 2: All right, it's Thursday, July the twenty third. You're listening

362
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 2: to common Sense for the American people. I'm Scott Jennings,

363
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:09,959
Speaker 2: broadcasting for Salem.

364
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:10,119
Speaker 12: Our.

365
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 2: Next guest just gave a phenomenal and I mean phenomenal

366
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 2: speech on the floor of the United States House. He

367
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 2: was laying out for us in stark terms, the battle

368
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 2: that we face today freedom versus socialism, and the dangers

369
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 2: coming out of New York under the failed leadership and

370
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 2: the radical, dangerous leadership and rhetoric of Zoron Mamdani. Let's

371
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 2: listen to a little bit of that floor speech. Cut one,

372
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 2: mister speaker.

373
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 4: If America follows mister Mandanny, it will not be the

374
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 4: first civilization to succumb to the siren song of a benevolent,

375
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 4: all powerful government. But every civilization that's done so is

376
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 4: awakened one morning to discover that the benevolence is gone

377
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:01,879
Speaker 4: and that the all powerful government remained. Names the American

378
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,159
Speaker 4: founders feared that one day a generation might emerge that

379
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 4: it has lost the memory of freedom. Let that not

380
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 4: be the legacy of our generation.

381
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 3: Joining us now.

382
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,160
Speaker 2: The man who gave that speech, the congressman from California's

383
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 2: fifth District, Tom McClintock. Congressman, thank you for your time,

384
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 2: Welcome back to the show, and let's start here. You

385
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,919
Speaker 2: represent California, mom GANI is in New York City. I

386
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 2: recognize he's become a national figure. But what inspired you

387
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 2: to give this speech to your colleagues on the House floor.

388
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 4: Well, I think this is becoming the great question of

389
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 4: our age. I think back to Lincoln's address in eighteen

390
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,159
Speaker 4: fifty eight, the House Divided Speech, where he said, a

391
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 4: house divided against the self cannot stand, and this government

392
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 4: cannot endure permanently. Half slave and half free. He said,

393
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 4: I do not expect the government to dissolve. I do

394
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 4: not expect the House to fall, but I do expect

395
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 4: it will cease to be divided. It must become all

396
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 4: one thing or all the other. He understood that there

397
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 4: were two anesthetical principles buying for the soul of our country,

398
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,679
Speaker 4: freedom and slavery. You can't compromise in their polar opposites,

399
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 4: and he realized that ultimately one would triumph over the other.

400
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:11,640
Speaker 13: I think that wheels come full circle.

401
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,399
Speaker 4: And now the great question of our age is between

402
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 4: two antithetical principles, freedom and socialism. And if you stop

403
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 4: and think about it, socialism and slavery sprang from exactly

404
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 4: the same poisonous principle. A. Lincoln described it as the

405
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 4: same spirit that says you work and toil and make

406
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,159
Speaker 4: bread and I will eat it. That's the moment that

407
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 4: we come to as a country. And I think that's

408
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,400
Speaker 4: why the politics are becoming so intense and so polarized,

409
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 4: because we're dealing with two principles that simply cannot coexist.

410
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 2: I think that is extremely well said Congressman. I was

411
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 2: watching a video the other day some of these organizers

412
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,159
Speaker 2: of the Democratic Socialists of America. We're talking about what

413
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 2: their goals and what their aims are. These are people

414
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 2: who hold positions in this socialist organization. One of them said,

415
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,199
Speaker 2: this is stuff with me. We aim to destroy the

416
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 2: American Empire from the inside out. And that chilled me

417
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 2: when I heard it, and I think about it every day.

418
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 3: But I think when I hear Mom, Donnie and the.

419
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,919
Speaker 2: Rest of these socialists and the way they describe our

420
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 2: country and what they want to do, I think they

421
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 2: are making it very clear that's in fact the ultimate

422
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:23,439
Speaker 2: goal destroy the United States of America as we've known it.

423
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 2: Do you think people in your district do you think

424
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 2: Americans are waking up to this existential threat to our country,

425
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 2: to our constitution.

426
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 4: Oh, they're certainly going to wake up to it. The

427
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 4: only question is whether they wake up to it too late.

428
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 4: You know the siren song we keep hearing from the

429
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 4: left as well, capitalism, that's dog eat dog, look out

430
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 4: for yourself, selfishness. You remember what Walt said about socialism,

431
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,880
Speaker 4: his neighborliness. It's taking care of one another, and they've

432
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 4: got it exactly backwards.

433
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 13: The only way to succeed in.

434
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 4: A capitalist system is you've got to figure out what

435
00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 4: your neighbor needs and how to get it for them

436
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:01,680
Speaker 4: better than they can get it for themselves. It might

437
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:03,880
Speaker 4: be mowing their law and might be doing brain surgery

438
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 4: on their child, but whatever it is, you have to

439
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 4: help your neighbor. Socialism is taking what one person is

440
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,199
Speaker 4: earned by helping others and giving it to someone who's not.

441
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 4: It is true if I take a dollar from Peter

442
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,400
Speaker 4: and give it to Paul, Paul's got an extra dollar

443
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 4: to spend I've helped Paul, I've hurt Peter to the

444
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 4: exact same amount. But what I've really done is I've

445
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,919
Speaker 4: taken from both of them a dollar's worth of incentive

446
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 4: to help each other. Paul no longer needs to help Peter.

447
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,440
Speaker 4: He now has his dollar. Peter no longer profits from

448
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,959
Speaker 4: helping Paul. And you dissolve the glue that holds a

449
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 4: society to gether and it requires enormous amounts of force.

450
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:44,959
Speaker 4: Freedom capitalism requires no force because each individual makes their

451
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 4: own decisions to their mutual betterment. Socialism requires nothing but force,

452
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 4: because you have to compel people to act against their

453
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 4: own interests, in their own judgment. And that's why it's

454
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 4: faled wherever it has been applied in any period of

455
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 4: history part of the world, including.

456
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:02,679
Speaker 13: In this country.

457
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:06,439
Speaker 4: We can see how the socialist regimes that we're seeing

458
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 4: slowly appear in places like California, what they do to

459
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,399
Speaker 4: destroy the quality of life of the most beautiful states

460
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 4: of the twentieth century, most beautiful cities of the twentieth century.

461
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 4: Socialism doesn't work any better here than everywhere.

462
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 13: Else in the world has ever been tried.

463
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 2: Congressman Tom mcclint talk of California is our guest as

464
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 2: you speak to us about the dangers of socialism. I'm

465
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 2: looking over my shoulder here, well, over my desk. I

466
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 2: see a headline I've CNN on New Hampshire poll. Alexandria

467
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:43,120
Speaker 2: Ocassio Cortes leads twenty twenty eight Democratic presidential field in

468
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 2: New Hampshire. I saw this pop out from the University

469
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 2: of New Hampshire last night. You know, sometimes congressmen, I

470
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,360
Speaker 2: hear people say, well, you might work in an individual district,

471
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 2: but ultimately you know the country. You know they're going

472
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,160
Speaker 2: to reject this. So all the whole party nationally, there's

473
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 2: no way they would fall for this. You right now,

474
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 2: she could win. She could win a place like New Hampshire.

475
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:09,160
Speaker 3: She could win. And if you don't think that socialism.

476
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 2: Is on the doorstep, or that the barbarians are already

477
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 2: inside the gates, think again. AOC is leading a serious

478
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 2: poll in one of the most serious states, New Hampshire,

479
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 2: for twenty twenty eight. It's chilling, but the stakes of

480
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 2: it are high. And what we do is Republicans to

481
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 2: fight this. I mean, we have to stand up for

482
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,199
Speaker 2: our country now, because once you cross the threshold, it's

483
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 2: hard to go back.

484
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 4: Well, we have to help people connect the dots between

485
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 4: the votes, say cast, and the policies that affect their

486
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,400
Speaker 4: quality of life. And all you need to do look

487
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 4: at the states where socialism has already been well interdu Is, California, Illinois,

488
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:48,399
Speaker 4: New York.

489
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 13: What do you see there?

490
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 4: And for that matter, all of the beautiful cities they've

491
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 4: destroyed San Francisco, Baltimore.

492
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 8: Or St.

493
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 13: Louis, Washington, d C. New York City.

494
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 4: You can go on and on, all of the same

495
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:07,679
Speaker 4: social and economic pathologies. Sky high taxes, of failing schools,

496
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 4: rising crime, rampant homelessness. You see a scarcity of basic

497
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:18,639
Speaker 4: things like energy, water, housing, and sky high prices for

498
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 4: all of those things. Ultimately you see failing businesses and

499
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 4: then families fleeing. We're seeing an enormous population exodus out

500
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 4: of the blue states for the red ones as people

501
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 4: begin to vote with their feet in desperation. That's the

502
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 4: consistent lesson wherever you look, that you cannot help but

503
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 4: draw if you simply observe what these systems produce.

504
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 13: And it's always the same.

505
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 4: You know, Churchill, I think said at best, he said

506
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 4: the inherent advice of capitalism is the equal sharing of blessings.

507
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 4: The inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries. Well,

508
00:27:57,840 --> 00:27:59,640
Speaker 4: that's that's the universal principle.

509
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 2: I was on television Sunday morning with this guy. I

510
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 2: had not met him before. He actually had to work

511
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 2: for AOC as a staffer. And he was arguing for socialism.

512
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 2: And you know, he turns to me and he says,

513
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 2: you know, I'm from Tennessee and we had the TVA,

514
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 2: and you know, we have post offices and this and

515
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 2: that and this, and I hear more of them making

516
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,639
Speaker 2: this argument that if you have any basic level of

517
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 2: government services or government programming, that that necessarily means you're

518
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 2: already living in a socialist society. This attempt to redefine

519
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:31,879
Speaker 2: what socialism is. I you know, he was, you know,

520
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,120
Speaker 2: as a happy guy. Mom Donni smiles a lot. These

521
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,919
Speaker 2: are the smiling instruments of our destruction. People should not

522
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 2: fall for this argument. Having some basic level of government

523
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 2: is not socialism. Seizing the means of production in vast

524
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 2: portions of our economy that is socialism.

525
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 3: That is the intention.

526
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 2: But the gateway here is to try to redefine it

527
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 2: and make you feel better about it so that you

528
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 2: have no idea what you're voting for. They're trying to

529
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 2: take advantage of the ignorance of the American people, and

530
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 2: that's I think you're right. Republicans have to correct at

531
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 2: and educate folks exactly right.

532
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 4: And it doesn't do any good just to say, you know,

533
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 4: communism is bad, socialism is bad. You have to have

534
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 4: you have to lay out the case, and the case

535
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 4: should be the easiest ever made, because the entire history

536
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 4: of mankind can comes down to four words. Freedom works,

537
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 4: socialism sucks.

538
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 3: I love that.

539
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 2: Congressman Tom McClintock of California, we've got about a minute

540
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 2: here before I let you go. A lot going on

541
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 2: on Capitol Hill. The House last night passed a budget resolution,

542
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 2: you did the NDA a uh, and one or two

543
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 2: other things, so you've you've you've done a little bit

544
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 2: of work here.

545
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 3: The Senate seems to be a hang up right now.

546
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 2: Any indication about whether the leadership in the House and

547
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 2: the Senate, all from the same party, can get together

548
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 2: on any of these priorities that the Republicans want to

549
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 2: do here before the fall elections, well, I.

550
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 4: Think Ultimately, the Senate has to and they have this

551
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 4: annoying tendency to do not see things our way but

552
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 4: in the House. But ultimately, necessity, I think is going

553
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 4: to compel them to take the actions that are necessary

554
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 4: to replenish our armaments, to secure the integrity of our

555
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 4: elections at a time when confidence in those elections is

556
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 4: an all time low. These are critical issues that have

557
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 4: to be addressed, and I believe the Senators will rise

558
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 4: to the occasion.

559
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 2: I hope you're right, and I hope we get some

560
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 2: common ground and some common strategic viewpoint here that I

561
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 2: think the American people they're not buying what the Democrats

562
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 2: are selling. They're not in love with Democrats, but they

563
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 2: need to see that the Republicans are working on their

564
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 2: behalf and there's a few things being thrown out of

565
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 2: the House right now that would show them that. And

566
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 2: so if we can get the Senate to come around

567
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 2: on it, all the better for our electoral prospects later

568
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 2: this fall. Congressman Tom McClintock, one of the great fighters

569
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 2: for freedom and against socialism in the House, thanks for

570
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 2: coming by today.

571
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 4: Well, Scott is always a pleasure and honor. Thank you

572
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 4: for all of your commentaries on sin and it's wonderful.

573
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 2: We fight them every day. We fight the good fight

574
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 2: every day. Nice to know, so nice to know we

575
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 2: have folks like you out there carrying the torch as well.

576
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 2: All Right, I want to talk to you all for

577
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 2: a moment about Alzheimer's disease. This is an actual economic

578
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 2: time bomb for our country. We are not ready. The

579
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 2: cases are going to double to fourteen million by the

580
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 2: year twenty sixty. This is a huge burden on American families.

581
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 2: We're simply not dealing with it as a country. Our

582
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 2: competitors in the world are China. They've got a program

583
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 2: going on there to do more early diagnosis and treatment.

584
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 2: But here we're still waiting until it's too late. But

585
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 2: we can turn this around. We have the tools. We

586
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 2: have simple blood tests that can spot the early signs

587
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 2: of Alzheimer's that'll keep people healthier, longer and in the workforce.

588
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 2: That would be good for families, it's good for the economy,

589
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 2: it's good common sense.

590
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 3: That's good politically.

591
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 2: Most voters say, if you're in favor of Alzheimer's detection

592
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 2: and diagnosis and treatment, they would look kindly upon that.

593
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 3: At the ballot box.

594
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 2: If you want to know more about this fight to

595
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 2: control this economic time bomb known as Alzheimer's go to

596
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 2: our friends at Marketinstitute dot org. That's Marketinstitute dot org.

597
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 2: More to come after this. It's Scott Jennings on Salem.

598
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 14: Stay with us one matter, standing tall against the leftist mob.

599
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 9: Here's Scott Jennings.

600
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 2: All right, Thursday, July twenty third, Common sense for the

601
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 2: American people. As you know, I have this political theory

602
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 2: that even though the generic political environment may favor Democrats

603
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 2: a little, and historically it would favor the party out

604
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 2: of power, I think it's some of the closest congressional

605
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 2: districts in the nation, Democrats have nominated candidates that simply

606
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 2: exist so far outside the main stream that they may

607
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 2: take an otherwise competitive situation and make it non competitive.

608
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 2: Done a couple of these this week. Here's the next one.

609
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 2: It's Colorado's eighth district. This seat is one of, if

610
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 2: not the most evenly divided districts in the nation.

611
00:32:57,760 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 3: The COOKPVII, which.

612
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 2: Is a political analyst term for trying to describe the

613
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 2: tilt or lean of the district, is dead, even dead.

614
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 2: Even that means it is exactly even with the nation's

615
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 2: voting pattern. The district has voted for the winner of

616
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 2: the past five presidential elections. So today it's held by

617
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 2: the Republicans, specifically by freshman Congressman Gabe Evans, who's a

618
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 2: former police officer and army officer. He was one of

619
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 2: only four Republicans to oust an incumbent House.

620
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 3: Democrat in twenty twenty four.

621
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 2: However, Congressman evans opponent does not have I think the

622
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 2: same stellar record.

623
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 3: This person's name is Manny Rootinell.

624
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 2: He's a Democrat state representative, and to be candid, his

625
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 2: story and record is quite wild and weird. He's an

626
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:53,240
Speaker 2: anti agriculture Democrat running in one of the biggest agriculture

627
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 2: districts in the country, certainly in Colorado. Let's talk about

628
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 2: Manny Rootinell for this little bit on the agriculture front.

629
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 3: Again.

630
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 2: Agriculture big deal in this district. But root and now

631
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:08,799
Speaker 2: the Democrat. Again, this is a mainstream district, a dead

632
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 2: even district. This liberal Democrat Rootnel says, you know what

633
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:15,880
Speaker 2: I'm going to run on. We're going to give up

634
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 2: meat and instead you should eat nuts and berries.

635
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 3: Only cut two The.

636
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:25,920
Speaker 15: ITCC recently concluded that agricultural emissions will increase by forty

637
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 15: percent by twenty fifty without strong interventions. Simply put, achieving

638
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 15: the goals of the Paris Agreement will not be possible

639
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 15: without a substantial transition in the global food system from

640
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 15: environmentally damaging foods to more sustainable choices. To address the

641
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 15: critical environmental problems of agriculture, a team of leeding scientists

642
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 15: from very scientific backgrounds and nations created a report known

643
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 15: as the Planetary Health Diet, which outlines the ideal food

644
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 15: production levels that optimize both health and sustainability. With their

645
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 15: goal of nutritions FOOIT feeding ten billion people in twenty

646
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 15: fifty while maintaining the our mental objectives of the Paris Agreement.

647
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:06,720
Speaker 15: The report concludes that the globe must dramatically shift away

648
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 15: from animal products and towards fruits, vegetables, legoons, pull grains,

649
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:11,279
Speaker 15: and nuts.

650
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 2: You know they're doing this with Tallarico in Texas as well.

651
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:18,720
Speaker 2: You have this crop of weirdo democrats running in heavy

652
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,879
Speaker 2: meat and dairy cattle places saying now we're gonna get

653
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 2: We're gonna get rid of the meat, nuts and berries.

654
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 2: For you people of Colorado, but he describes himself as

655
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:31,280
Speaker 2: a former vegan. By the way, this Routinelle and again

656
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 2: I cannot stress to you enough this is an agriculture district.

657
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 2: Some of the biggest meat and dairy producers in the

658
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:42,919
Speaker 2: country are in this district. So that's Manny Rootinell. Some

659
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 2: breaking news on Rootnel's come out just today. This comes

660
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 2: from the reporters over at the Washington Free Beacon. In fact,

661
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:52,279
Speaker 2: this just, oh goodness, this is just coming out in

662
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 2: the last hour. I'm just looking at this. I'm going

663
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,359
Speaker 2: to give it to you as i'm getting it. So

664
00:35:56,480 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 2: the Washington Free Beacon says that they have uncovered Deleete

665
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 2: did reddit comments. Reddit is a social platform or people

666
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:08,399
Speaker 2: comment on lots of things. So Routnel says in these

667
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:13,800
Speaker 2: deleted comments that he wants animals to have the same

668
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 2: rights as people, and that in turn, that means we

669
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:24,920
Speaker 2: would prohibit using animals for food. He also was advocating

670
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:28,319
Speaker 2: in these comments that you should feed your dog a

671
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 2: vegetarian diet and that animals will be taken to sanctuaries

672
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:39,919
Speaker 2: when they pass the animal liberation legislation that he has

673
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:44,879
Speaker 2: in mind. So I guess we need to bone up

674
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 2: on animal farm because if Manny Routnel gets to Congress,

675
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:52,439
Speaker 2: I guess that's what we're gonna have, animal farm where

676
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 2: the animals have more rights than the people.

677
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:58,799
Speaker 3: This is the reason I bring this up.

678
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 2: It sounds ridiculous because it is ridiculous, But what the

679
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 2: political malpractice of the Democrats here is so obscene to

680
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 2: a practitioner. Take this dead even district. You know these

681
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 2: are mainstream, middle of the road people. It's not an

682
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:22,240
Speaker 2: extremely partisan district. And you take the most weirdo liberal

683
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 2: leftist lunatic you can find and try to present that

684
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 2: as a reasonable congressman for a dead even district. Colorado

685
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 2: eight Gave Evans is a good one, and he's running

686
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 2: against one of the most radical leftists in the country

687
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:40,280
Speaker 2: who's got some strange ideas. Rootnel not good for Colorado,

688
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 2: not good for America. Take a break, come back with

689
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 2: more after this. It's Scott Jennings stayed with us, no voice.

690
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:52,279
Speaker 1: Of free speech, the truth delivered common sense for the

691
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:53,280
Speaker 1: American people.

692
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 2: Well I the Scott Jennior Show ely the twenty third.

693
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:00,919
Speaker 2: Let's take a quick check of the headline. President Trump

694
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:04,719
Speaker 2: speaking last night in Georgia. Long speech covered a lot

695
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 2: of issues, but still the president is out there touting

696
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:10,400
Speaker 2: those Trump accounts for your children.

697
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 3: Cut thirteen.

698
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 9: It's called the Trump accounts.

699
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 11: That is hot as a pistol.

700
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:18,400
Speaker 9: Wow, it's hot as a pistol.

701
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 12: And under this groudbreaking new policy, every American child gets

702
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 12: a tax free investment savings account that can grow over

703
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 12: the course of their childhood.

704
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:34,239
Speaker 2: Likely going to be one of the biggest legacy items

705
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 2: for the Trump presidency is these Trump accounts. You can

706
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:39,279
Speaker 2: if you haven't signed up, do if you have kids

707
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:42,400
Speaker 2: of any age, go to Trump Accounts dot gov. Everybody

708
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 2: will tell you this is a good idea. We have

709
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 2: more migrant crime going on in Minnesota. This is a

710
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 2: gruesome story. An Ethiopian born man accused of executing three

711
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:57,879
Speaker 2: employees inside a Saint Paul apartment complex leasing office over

712
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:02,760
Speaker 2: a sixty five dollars a month parking contract dispute. Police

713
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:09,480
Speaker 2: say sigab Benisou shot Adam will Wording and Dana Silcox

714
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:12,399
Speaker 2: six times each, and then he killed twenty five year

715
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 2: old Nancy Zambrano as she tried to escape through the window.

716
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:21,879
Speaker 2: Investigators recovered twenty one shell casings Benisou was arrested two

717
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 2: hundred miles away, and he was driving one of the

718
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 2: victim's cars. According to documents in court, he told police, quote,

719
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:33,719
Speaker 2: I hate the American system, and he blamed the American

720
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:36,840
Speaker 2: system for his personal problems. He now faces three counts

721
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 2: of second degree murder. We'll see if Minnesota Governor Tim

722
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 2: Walls wants to intervene on his behalf the way he

723
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 2: did that child sex abuser. The other day, back on

724
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 2: Capitol Hill, always striving here to bring you the most

725
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 2: up to date information about policy making in Washington, I

726
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:54,879
Speaker 2: was perusing my social media feed and came across an

727
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 2: interesting comment from our next guest, the chairman of the

728
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:02,760
Speaker 2: Oversight Committee, Jamie Congressman Comber of Kentucky's first District.

729
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 3: Welcome into the show.

730
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 2: You were talking about I think one of the most

731
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:11,879
Speaker 2: critical healthcare policy reforms that the Republicans have been able

732
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 2: to accomplish, and you've been the leader on it, and

733
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:19,360
Speaker 2: it is PBM reform, Pharmacy benefit manager reform. These PBMs

734
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:23,279
Speaker 2: were the middlemen and the pharmaceutical system and basically it

735
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 2: made it cost more for people to get prescription drugs.

736
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:29,359
Speaker 2: You and the Republicans stepped in on PBMs. You were

737
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 2: talking about this yesterday. Give us the latest on that.

738
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:36,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, the PBMs were created with good intentions, Scott. Everything

739
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:39,960
Speaker 7: in government has created with good intentions. But over time

740
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 7: the PBMs have evolved. And what PBMs were created to

741
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:49,439
Speaker 7: do was negotiate grug prices for on behalf of health

742
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:54,280
Speaker 7: insurers and consumers and Medicare and Medicaid. These were supposed

743
00:40:54,280 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 7: to negotiate prices between the consumer and the parmaceutical companies.

744
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:05,279
Speaker 7: But over time, these TBMs have become profit centers. And

745
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:08,240
Speaker 7: I'm a Republican, I'm all about making money. But what's

746
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 7: happened is they've done opposite of what Republicans want. Republicans

747
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 7: want more competition in healthcare and hope that the competition

748
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 7: drives prices down. But PBMs have become profit centers and

749
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:25,799
Speaker 7: they've become vertically integrated. They pushed a lot of independent

750
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:28,160
Speaker 7: pharmacies out. If you think about wherever you live in

751
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 7: the United States, how many independent pharmacies they work in

752
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 7: years ago versus today. The reason that these independent pharmacies

753
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 7: have disappeared is because the PBMs have put them out

754
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:44,320
Speaker 7: of business. The pharmacies had to negotiate with the PBMs

755
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 7: to buy drugs. Well, then the PBM said, you know what,

756
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 7: We'll just put in our own mail order pharmacy and

757
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:54,840
Speaker 7: we'll get a monopoly on the pharmacy market. And another

758
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 7: problem with the PBNs, in addition to driving their competition

759
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:04,840
Speaker 7: out of the marketplace, is that PBMs, when an oncology

760
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:09,720
Speaker 7: doctor or something like that, prescribes a medication for their patient,

761
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 7: they usually try to prescribe the generic equivalent if that's available. Well,

762
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 7: the TBMs make more money off the brand name drugs

763
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 7: than the generic drugs, so they're steering patients and rejecting

764
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:27,759
Speaker 7: doctors prescriptions for certain medications and steering them towards a

765
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 7: more expensive medication for the consumer that they can make

766
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:33,879
Speaker 7: more money on. This has been happening. We had three

767
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:37,880
Speaker 7: Overset Committee hearings about it. When we started this issue,

768
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 7: there weren't many people in Congress that knew what a

769
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 7: pharmacy benefit manager was. Now they're overwhelming support to kind

770
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 7: of rain these guys in, and that's what we did

771
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 7: this week.

772
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:51,479
Speaker 2: One of the things I like about this is that

773
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:55,759
Speaker 2: the Republicans took the time here to make sure that

774
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 2: you didn't do anything with unintended consequences, and you looked

775
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:02,719
Speaker 2: at individual niche situations. One of those is in the

776
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:07,000
Speaker 2: long term care pharmacy. They're a little different, these long

777
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:10,400
Speaker 2: term care pharmacies. And during the Biden administration, you know,

778
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:12,880
Speaker 2: they sort of did these sweeping, you know, one size

779
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:17,400
Speaker 2: fits all regulations and it put long term care pharmacies

780
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:20,880
Speaker 2: and a real bind. Republicans have taken care here to

781
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 2: try to get it right and recognize that there are

782
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 2: certain parts of this. You know, there's little niche angles

783
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 2: that have to be attended to. So if you're out

784
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:31,480
Speaker 2: there and you've been dealing with, say long term care,

785
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:33,799
Speaker 2: I think I think one of the core messages is

786
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:37,400
Speaker 2: Republicans they hear you, they see you, and they're and

787
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:41,760
Speaker 2: they're going to enact policies and regulations here that recognize,

788
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 2: you know, a one size fits all just isn't going

789
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:44,919
Speaker 2: to work.

790
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:45,880
Speaker 3: Talk to us about that a.

791
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 7: Little bit exactly that you know, healthcare is so different.

792
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:54,359
Speaker 7: Everybody's healthcare situations, different marketplaces are different. Long term care

793
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:58,280
Speaker 7: pharmacy is obviously very different than your your local corner

794
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:03,399
Speaker 7: drug store, and we have a tremendous long term care

795
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:07,560
Speaker 7: provider in Kentucky. We've worked very closely with them to

796
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:11,799
Speaker 7: ensure that this legislation doesn't have any unintended consequences on

797
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:19,279
Speaker 7: their business model. We're primarily focused on the three big PBMs.

798
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 7: They control over eighty percent of the marketplace. Now they're

799
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:29,480
Speaker 7: vertically integrated, and we have highlighted instance after instance where

800
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:36,040
Speaker 7: they have gouged consumers and instead of giving a generic equivalent,

801
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:40,359
Speaker 7: gave them the more profitable one. They delayed through their

802
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 7: bureaucracy the beginning of medication for people with cancer. If

803
00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:46,920
Speaker 7: you get diagnosed with cancer, you want to get on

804
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:49,719
Speaker 7: medication that day. You want to start fighting that day.

805
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 7: But some of the PBMs drag their feet, and every

806
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 7: day is a matter of life and death when you

807
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:59,600
Speaker 7: have cancer. But we've worked closely with the long term

808
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:04,160
Speaker 7: care pharmacies to ensure that this doesn't have anything that

809
00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:07,240
Speaker 7: will impact them negatively. We'll want to keep them doing

810
00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:10,560
Speaker 7: what they're doing, because that's time is of the essence

811
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 7: with that situation.

812
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:15,560
Speaker 2: Congressman Jamie Comber, Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, is

813
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:18,879
Speaker 2: our guest. Congressman. One other issue on which you've been

814
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:21,960
Speaker 2: very active has to do with the Post Office postal reform.

815
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:25,080
Speaker 2: The Inspector General from the Post Office has been up

816
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 2: on Capitol Hill several times recently talking with this report

817
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 2: that she has issued, and in it it says there

818
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 2: is two billion dollars in mail package fraud.

819
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:38,480
Speaker 3: Some of that's coming from China. I know you keep

820
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:39,200
Speaker 3: tabs on.

821
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:41,280
Speaker 2: The Post Office, and I know you work very hard

822
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:44,680
Speaker 2: to protect rural postal service. Your district at Kentucky's got

823
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 2: a lot of rural routes out there for the Post Office.

824
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:49,040
Speaker 3: But it's pretty clear we've got billions of.

825
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:51,960
Speaker 2: Dollars in fraud over at the post Office. Are you

826
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:53,960
Speaker 2: looking into that right now? You're talking to the Post

827
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:55,720
Speaker 2: Office about how to solve that at the moment.

828
00:45:56,960 --> 00:46:00,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, the post Office is it aster right now. I

829
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 7: think the President said that I'm going to quote Jim,

830
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:06,840
Speaker 7: He's exactly right. They're losing billions of dollars that it

831
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:08,879
Speaker 7: takes forever to get your mail, a lot of mail

832
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:11,239
Speaker 7: gets lost. And then on top of it, now we

833
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:14,320
Speaker 7: have these reports that we suspected if there's massive amounts

834
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:18,200
Speaker 7: of fraud, you have drugs being smuggled in, you have uh,

835
00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:24,080
Speaker 7: you know a lot of uh these these uh healthcare providers.

836
00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 7: They're they're manipulating the These fraudulent health care providers are

837
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:34,800
Speaker 7: manipulating the Postal Service, UH to be able to obviously

838
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:37,520
Speaker 7: commit their fraud. Then you have theft, and that's a

839
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 7: big issue at a lot of the mail sorting facilities.

840
00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:43,479
Speaker 7: You have, you know, a lot of hot turnover with

841
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:47,919
Speaker 7: with employees. Uh, there's there's just you know, unfortunately ninety

842
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:51,200
Speaker 7: napers of the employees that work for the Postal Service

843
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:53,920
Speaker 7: or outstanding. But there are some bad actors that have

844
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 7: been hired recently with one intention to go in it's

845
00:46:57,120 --> 00:47:01,120
Speaker 7: organized crime in certain cities and where there's been just

846
00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 7: a lot of theft in these mail sorting facilities. These

847
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:11,240
Speaker 7: postal employees that were recently hired, and they were hired

848
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:14,920
Speaker 7: for one purpose. The employees had one purpose, and that

849
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:18,239
Speaker 7: was not to deliver the mail efficiently or sort the

850
00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:21,040
Speaker 7: mail efficiently, but to steal as much as they could

851
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:24,000
Speaker 7: before they got caught. So there's just a lot of

852
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:27,640
Speaker 7: internal problems with the Postal Service. And this IG report

853
00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:32,400
Speaker 7: just highlights the fraud and the theft that's taking place

854
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:33,800
Speaker 7: every day in the Postal Service.

855
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:36,760
Speaker 3: I know it seems a little off the beaten path.

856
00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:40,280
Speaker 2: But I brought these issues up with you today because

857
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:43,359
Speaker 2: you know you're one of the foremost Republican communicators out there.

858
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:45,640
Speaker 2: People see you on TV almost every day. But it

859
00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:49,680
Speaker 2: seems to me that a Republican messaging plan for the

860
00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:52,960
Speaker 2: fall election might do well to include the fact that

861
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:56,200
Speaker 2: it's Republicans and Trump that have lowered prescription drug prices,

862
00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:59,520
Speaker 2: done smart things on policy to lower prescription drug prices,

863
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:04,240
Speaker 2: and that it's Republicans who continue to root out the waste, fraud,

864
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:07,360
Speaker 2: and abuse out of government. And that fraud certainly extends

865
00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:10,840
Speaker 2: to something in your jurisdiction, which is the US Postal Service.

866
00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:14,160
Speaker 2: Congressman Comber, I know you're traveling. Appreciate your time stopping

867
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:16,759
Speaker 2: at the airport to say hello to us today.

868
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:18,319
Speaker 7: Thank you, Scott, Appreciate you.

869
00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:22,400
Speaker 2: All right, Congressman Jamie Comber, Congressman from the first District

870
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:24,919
Speaker 2: of Kentucky, Chairman of House Oversight. We take a break

871
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:26,920
Speaker 2: and come back with more after this. It's Scott Jennings.

872
00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:27,440
Speaker 3: Stay with us.

873
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:30,640
Speaker 9: He's the author of the best selling book A Revolution

874
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:34,120
Speaker 9: of Common Sense. Here's Scott Jennings.

875
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:39,200
Speaker 2: If we are having a revolution of common sense, the

876
00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:42,040
Speaker 2: left is engaged in a revolution.

877
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:43,160
Speaker 3: Of uncommon nonsense.

878
00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:46,880
Speaker 2: If you've wondered what these people, these socialists, talk to

879
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:50,520
Speaker 2: each other about when they get together privately, well we

880
00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:52,680
Speaker 2: have some reporting about that. I want to get to

881
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:54,759
Speaker 2: that in about sixty seconds. First, I want to talk

882
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:58,520
Speaker 2: to you about supplements and about getting rid of your pain.

883
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:00,040
Speaker 3: It's a very important con.

884
00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:03,600
Speaker 2: The older you get, the more aches and pains you

885
00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:07,480
Speaker 2: might be getting, and that's probably caused by honestly, inflammation

886
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:10,799
Speaker 2: in your body. And there's a supplement out there called

887
00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:12,920
Speaker 2: relief Factor that helps go to the core of that

888
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:15,960
Speaker 2: inflammation and then that therefore helps resolve some.

889
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:16,920
Speaker 3: Of your pain issues.

890
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 2: But you know, when you're thinking about supplements, the questions

891
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:23,799
Speaker 2: that you often have really boil down to two. Does

892
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 2: this work? And can I trust this now? Rather than

893
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:30,600
Speaker 2: me telling you about it, but I could. I've used it,

894
00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:33,080
Speaker 2: my dad's used it. But rather than me telling you

895
00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:36,040
Speaker 2: about it, I'm going to let our customers do the talking.

896
00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:38,880
Speaker 2: We get letters and stories here every day from people

897
00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:42,720
Speaker 2: whose lives have changed thanks to Relief Factor.

898
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:43,840
Speaker 3: Here's one Doug.

899
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:48,400
Speaker 2: He says he took relief Factor for a year before

900
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:51,120
Speaker 2: convincing his wife, who was a special needs teacher to

901
00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:55,600
Speaker 2: also try it. Now, she had been using assistance just

902
00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:58,840
Speaker 2: to go up down the hallway at her school. Now,

903
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:02,520
Speaker 2: after Relief Factor, she's back on her feet and she

904
00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:04,960
Speaker 2: does not have to think about leaving the job that

905
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:05,640
Speaker 2: she loves.

906
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:07,400
Speaker 3: That's life changing.

907
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:09,839
Speaker 2: When you're in so much pain, you're thinking, I'm gonna

908
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:12,280
Speaker 2: have to leave my job because I can't do it anymore.

909
00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:14,840
Speaker 2: And you take relief Factor and all of a sudden

910
00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:18,680
Speaker 2: bang back to normal at work. I'm in the job

911
00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:20,480
Speaker 2: that I love. I don't have to think about leaving

912
00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:23,399
Speaker 2: this That is life changing. It's easy, by the way,

913
00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:25,560
Speaker 2: to find out if you could be the next person

914
00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:29,000
Speaker 2: telling us your Relief Factors story. They're doing a three

915
00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:32,600
Speaker 2: week supply of relief Factor right now for just seventeen

916
00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:36,160
Speaker 2: dollars and seventy six cents. You go to relief Factor

917
00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:40,240
Speaker 2: dot com or you call one eight hundred four Relief.

Speaker 2: That's one eight hundred the number four Relief. You get

Speaker 2: do everything they can do to help you out. And

921
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:50,719
Speaker 2: I hope that if you try relief Factor and you

922

Speaker 2: have the same results as Doug and his wife, you'll

923
00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:56,680
Speaker 2: send us your story and we'll read it here on

924
00:50:56,719 --> 00:51:00,000
Speaker 2: the Scott Jennings Show. All right, it's Thursday, July twenty third,

925
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:01,600
Speaker 2: common sense for the American people.

926
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:04,800
Speaker 3: Some reporting here. This is from Fox News.

927
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:10,640
Speaker 2: And I find this to be so illuminating because I've

928
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:15,759
Speaker 2: noticed this lately in my appearances on CNN, and I've noticed.

929
00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:17,200
Speaker 3: A few like celebrity types.

930
00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:20,360
Speaker 2: You know, it's sort of like the smiling instruments of

931
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:23,560
Speaker 2: our destruction. You know, they're smiling and happy. You know,

932
00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:27,920
Speaker 2: Socialism did this, Socialism did that. They're trying to put

933
00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:30,520
Speaker 2: a happy face on all this. There's nothing happy about this,

934
00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:34,839
Speaker 2: by the way. They're trying. They're trying to market socialism

935
00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:38,360
Speaker 2: to you in a happy way. But it makes you

936
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:40,560
Speaker 2: wonder what do they say to each other when they're

937
00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:41,240
Speaker 2: getting together.

938
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:42,160
Speaker 3: Here's the reporting.

939
00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:48,000
Speaker 2: Several prominent Democrats were caught on camera participating in a

940
00:51:48,080 --> 00:51:53,680
Speaker 2: progressive political video call, which began with one speaker comparing

941
00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:58,719
Speaker 2: America to a Nazi regime ruled by quote dead eye

942
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:05,600
Speaker 2: psychopaths end quote bloodthirsty imperialists. Well that doesn't sound like

943
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:09,840
Speaker 2: very happy marketing, but here we go. Participants on the call,

944
00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:16,520
Speaker 2: which was hosted by an organization called Progressive Victory in March,

945
00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:21,280
Speaker 2: and they included, oh, I guess the call was in March.

946
00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:24,040
Speaker 2: The group is Progressive Victory. The call was in March.

947
00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:27,839
Speaker 2: Who was on the call, Well, Rocanna, you've seen him

948
00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:31,839
Speaker 2: out there. He's become a lunatic. He might even run

949
00:52:31,880 --> 00:52:34,520
Speaker 2: for president. He was on the call. And then you

950
00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:40,440
Speaker 2: had several of these Democratic Socialists of America endorsed candidates,

951
00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:43,360
Speaker 2: including we talk about him a lot on the show,

952
00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:49,320
Speaker 2: Abdul l Saied of Michigan, Corey Bush, and dare Eliza

953
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:53,919
Speaker 2: Avila Chevalier. That's the lunatic socialist in New York City

954
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:56,760
Speaker 2: who says she's going to abolish prisons, abolish the police,

955
00:52:56,800 --> 00:53:02,640
Speaker 2: abolish Ice, abolished borders, abolished the Senate, abolish, abolish, abolish America.

956
00:53:02,719 --> 00:53:04,120
Speaker 3: That's that's their platform.

957
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:08,479
Speaker 2: So yet all these people on the call, by the way,

958
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:14,239
Speaker 2: these people are presented as reasonable people, particularly Rokana. At

959
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:17,600
Speaker 2: the start of the call, organizers introduced left wing podcaster

960
00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:21,319
Speaker 2: Kyle Kulinski, who they called an up and comer. He

961
00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:24,320
Speaker 2: launched into a diatribe in which he said the US

962
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:29,920
Speaker 2: and Israel are creating the Fourth Reich. Probably become as

963
00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:32,200
Speaker 2: a surprise to the Jews in Israel that they were

964
00:53:32,239 --> 00:53:37,480
Speaker 2: creating the Fourth Reich. They're not very smart over there

965
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:42,040
Speaker 2: on the left, are they. These are genuinely repulsive, disgusting, wretched,

966
00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:45,800
Speaker 2: depraved human beings. They enjoy the pain and the violence

967
00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:47,840
Speaker 2: and the suffering and the death into the destruction and

968
00:53:48,320 --> 00:53:49,160
Speaker 2: on the rest of the world.

969
00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:54,320
Speaker 3: Koulinsky railed, all this is this is what they talk about.

970
00:53:55,360 --> 00:53:58,400
Speaker 2: What you see publicly, the smiling instruments of our destruction,

971
00:53:58,560 --> 00:54:01,360
Speaker 2: Mamdani and whatever. Behind the scenes when they're talking to

972
00:54:01,400 --> 00:54:07,160
Speaker 2: each other. This craziness. Thanks for Fox News for digging

973
00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:08,240
Speaker 2: this up. Take a break.

974
00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:10,040
Speaker 3: More after this, it's Scott Jennings on Salem.

975
00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:14,399
Speaker 12: Stay with Us conversation said, stories you simply won't hear

976
00:54:14,719 --> 00:54:16,000
Speaker 12: from the mainstream media.

977
00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:18,520
Speaker 9: It's the Scott Jenny Show.

978
00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:21,240
Speaker 3: Little breaking news on the crime front.

979
00:54:21,480 --> 00:54:26,320
Speaker 2: Turns out, based on the latest statistics, you, my fellow Americans,

980
00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:29,320
Speaker 2: are living in a lot less violent country.

981
00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:30,840
Speaker 3: That's according to the data.

982
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:33,720
Speaker 2: We're going to get the low down from Adam Gelb

983
00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:37,320
Speaker 2: in just a moment. He's CEO of Council on Criminal Justice.

984
00:54:37,320 --> 00:54:38,200
Speaker 2: He's standing by.

985
00:54:38,320 --> 00:54:38,600
Speaker 3: First.

986
00:54:38,600 --> 00:54:40,880
Speaker 2: I want to talk to you about something that the

987
00:54:40,880 --> 00:54:43,400
Speaker 2: bureaucrats really don't want you to know about or what

988
00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:45,440
Speaker 2: all want to talk about because they're failing at it,

989
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:49,080
Speaker 2: and that is that Alzheimer's is becoming an economic time

990
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:52,279
Speaker 2: bomb and our country is simply not ready. Cases are

991
00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:55,240
Speaker 2: on track to nearly double to fourteen million by twenty sixty.

992
00:54:55,280 --> 00:54:59,680
Speaker 2: This will put pressure on families, our workforce, Medicare, Medicaid,

993
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:03,399
Speaker 2: cross the board, bad outcomes if we do nothing about this.

994
00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:07,480
Speaker 2: Here's what should get your tension. American families shoulder most

995
00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:10,240
Speaker 2: of the burden on this. They cover about seventy percent

996
00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:14,440
Speaker 2: of the lifetime care cost of about four hundred thousand dollars.

997
00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:17,720
Speaker 2: This is a disaster for families, and it's a disaster

998
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:21,600
Speaker 2: for our country because we're standing still and our competitors

999
00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:23,359
Speaker 2: in the world are dealing with.

1000
00:55:23,360 --> 00:55:23,879
Speaker 3: It right now.

1001
00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:28,040
Speaker 2: Shinea, in fact, has launched a national priority to aggressively

1002
00:55:28,160 --> 00:55:32,440
Speaker 2: expand early diagnosis and treatment. We're just, honestly, we're just

1003
00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:35,160
Speaker 2: waiting until it's too late. We had tools, we have

1004
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:37,400
Speaker 2: these blood tests that can spot the early signs of

1005
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:39,840
Speaker 2: Alzheimer's that keep you healthier, longer and than the workforce.

1006
00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:44,280
Speaker 2: We just don't use them effectively. Voters want their politicians.

1007
00:55:43,560 --> 00:55:44,000
Speaker 3: To do this.

1008
00:55:44,080 --> 00:55:46,600
Speaker 2: By a way, By the way, eighty percent of voters

1009
00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:50,200
Speaker 2: say they'll support a candidate who prioritizes better access to

1010
00:55:50,239 --> 00:55:53,960
Speaker 2: Alzheimer's detection, diagnosis, and treatment. And by the way, if

1011
00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:55,719
Speaker 2: they did this, it would be good for families, good

1012
00:55:55,760 --> 00:55:57,640
Speaker 2: for the economy, and it is common sense. If you

1013
00:55:57,640 --> 00:55:59,880
Speaker 2: want to learn more about this, and I suggest you do,

1014
00:56:00,760 --> 00:56:05,879
Speaker 2: go to our friends at Marketinstitute dot org. That's Marketinstitute

1015
00:56:06,400 --> 00:56:09,120
Speaker 2: dot org. All right, Thursday, July the twenty third, let's

1016
00:56:09,160 --> 00:56:11,040
Speaker 2: talk crime. This a little bit of breaking news here

1017
00:56:11,080 --> 00:56:14,360
Speaker 2: on the show. Bringing in now Adam Gelb. He's former

1018
00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:18,960
Speaker 2: reporter aid on Capitol Hill and now the CEO of

1019
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:22,400
Speaker 2: the Council on Criminal Justice. They've got their latest report

1020
00:56:22,560 --> 00:56:26,600
Speaker 2: on crime in America's biggest cities. We have major new

1021
00:56:26,680 --> 00:56:31,319
Speaker 2: findings on just how well that under the Trump administration

1022
00:56:31,480 --> 00:56:34,880
Speaker 2: we have been doing when it comes to dramatically reducing

1023
00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:38,400
Speaker 2: violent crime. Adam, welcome into the Scott Jennings Show. The

1024
00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:42,000
Speaker 2: numbers are just out. What do we know about violent

1025
00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:44,240
Speaker 2: crime in America based on your research?

1026
00:56:46,040 --> 00:56:47,400
Speaker 8: Thanks Scott, it's good to be with you.

1027
00:56:47,920 --> 00:56:49,720
Speaker 14: Let me just give you some of the top lines

1028
00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:53,400
Speaker 14: here crime has been following the last couple of years,

1029
00:56:54,080 --> 00:56:57,520
Speaker 14: and we're seeing it drop further in the first half

1030
00:56:57,520 --> 00:57:00,120
Speaker 14: of twenty twenty six. Our new numbers out today show

1031
00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:05,200
Speaker 14: that homicide is dropping further. We predicted at the end

1032
00:57:05,239 --> 00:57:08,880
Speaker 14: of last year that the twenty twenty five homicide total

1033
00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:12,279
Speaker 14: would be the lowest in recorded history going all the

1034
00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:15,680
Speaker 14: way back to nineteen hundred, something President Trump mentioned in

1035
00:57:15,719 --> 00:57:18,600
Speaker 14: his State of the Union address earlier this year. And

1036
00:57:18,680 --> 00:57:20,640
Speaker 14: we're looking at through the first half of this year

1037
00:57:20,680 --> 00:57:23,960
Speaker 14: another eighteen percent drop in homicide, So that would take

1038
00:57:24,040 --> 00:57:29,360
Speaker 14: us to a new historic low. And at the same time,

1039
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:32,280
Speaker 14: if you look at it just over the past few years,

1040
00:57:32,680 --> 00:57:36,000
Speaker 14: we peaked in about twenty twenty one and it's been

1041
00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:39,240
Speaker 14: coming down since twenty twenty one, and alahamicide rate we

1042
00:57:39,320 --> 00:57:41,720
Speaker 14: think through that first half of this year will be

1043
00:57:41,880 --> 00:57:44,800
Speaker 14: half of what it was just a few years ago.

1044
00:57:45,160 --> 00:57:46,480
Speaker 8: It's a dramatic drop.

1045
00:57:46,600 --> 00:57:48,560
Speaker 14: And we talk about the numbers, and we have some

1046
00:57:48,600 --> 00:57:51,560
Speaker 14: more numbers to talk about, Scott, but this is really

1047
00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:52,320
Speaker 14: about lives.

1048
00:57:52,400 --> 00:57:53,640
Speaker 8: It's about saving lives.

1049
00:57:53,680 --> 00:58:00,280
Speaker 14: Thousands of lives saved here and community life improved. So

1050
00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:02,440
Speaker 14: there's a lot behind the numbers that we've got to

1051
00:58:02,480 --> 00:58:05,000
Speaker 14: recognize that even though it's come way down, there are

1052
00:58:05,040 --> 00:58:08,720
Speaker 14: still far too many people who fall victim to homicide,

1053
00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:11,840
Speaker 14: and these numbers are cold comfort to folks still living

1054
00:58:11,920 --> 00:58:13,560
Speaker 14: in hard head communities.

1055
00:58:14,280 --> 00:58:15,120
Speaker 3: Well, I agree with you.

1056
00:58:15,200 --> 00:58:17,720
Speaker 2: It's about lives, and I would just add on to that,

1057
00:58:17,840 --> 00:58:20,280
Speaker 2: it's about quality of life. I mean, if you're living

1058
00:58:20,320 --> 00:58:22,520
Speaker 2: in one of these places. I'm thinking of a place

1059
00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:26,200
Speaker 2: like Memphis, Tennessee. You know terrible, couldn't even go downtown.

1060
00:58:26,440 --> 00:58:29,400
Speaker 2: And thanks to this federal, state and local task force

1061
00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:31,640
Speaker 2: that Trump is put together down there, you're seeing huge

1062
00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:33,760
Speaker 2: reductions in crime in a place like Memphis. I think

1063
00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:37,440
Speaker 2: it's also true for like Washington, d C. Talk to

1064
00:58:37,480 --> 00:58:39,760
Speaker 2: me about but you know, quality of life in those places.

1065
00:58:39,800 --> 00:58:43,240
Speaker 2: I mean it's getting better. Yes, any violent crime is bad,

1066
00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:45,360
Speaker 2: but if you're seeing these kinds of massive reductions, you

1067
00:58:45,400 --> 00:58:48,439
Speaker 2: feel better about where you're living. If you're just seeing

1068
00:58:48,520 --> 00:58:50,760
Speaker 2: less of this violent crime on the street. Talk to

1069
00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:53,080
Speaker 2: our listeners about this. Where do you get this data?

1070
00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:57,240
Speaker 2: How do we measure this? And I know we're talking

1071
00:58:57,280 --> 00:59:00,320
Speaker 2: about this being in the largest cities. Is this data

1072
00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:03,160
Speaker 2: also applicable to rural areas in our country? Kind of

1073
00:59:03,160 --> 00:59:04,840
Speaker 2: give us an idea of how the data breaks out

1074
00:59:04,880 --> 00:59:05,800
Speaker 2: and where it comes from.

1075
00:59:06,800 --> 00:59:10,480
Speaker 14: Right right, We started right in the summer of twenty

1076
00:59:10,520 --> 00:59:12,880
Speaker 14: twenty taking a snapshot of what was happening in big

1077
00:59:12,920 --> 00:59:17,600
Speaker 14: cities because, as you and your viewers will remember, well, violence.

1078
00:59:17,240 --> 00:59:20,400
Speaker 8: Did start to spike as COVID broke out and as.

1079
00:59:20,240 --> 00:59:25,200
Speaker 14: The social racial justice protests start happening in the aftermath of.

1080
00:59:24,600 --> 00:59:25,840
Speaker 8: The killing of George Floyd.

1081
00:59:26,520 --> 00:59:30,520
Speaker 14: And so these are about three dozen cities that we've

1082
00:59:30,560 --> 00:59:35,520
Speaker 14: been tracking now for six years, and they are larger cities.

1083
00:59:35,560 --> 00:59:38,360
Speaker 14: So straight up answer your question is, we're not looking

1084
00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:43,680
Speaker 14: at rural jurisdictions, but it is fascinating kind of how

1085
00:59:43,760 --> 00:59:48,000
Speaker 14: closely the trends in urban and suburban and urban areas

1086
00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:50,280
Speaker 14: have tracked each other over the past few years.

1087
00:59:50,280 --> 00:59:52,480
Speaker 8: I have not been not been big disrepancy.

1088
00:59:52,640 --> 00:59:57,240
Speaker 14: So the data is directly from law enforcement websites in

1089
00:59:57,400 --> 00:59:58,880
Speaker 14: these cities.

1090
01:00:00,320 --> 01:00:02,720
Speaker 8: We we're just.

1091
01:00:02,800 --> 01:00:05,960
Speaker 14: Pleased that they're providing that data to the public and

1092
01:00:05,960 --> 01:00:08,280
Speaker 14: we're able to scrape it off of their sites and

1093
01:00:08,360 --> 01:00:10,600
Speaker 14: provide these snapshots so that we have a sense in

1094
01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:13,040
Speaker 14: real time of what is actually happening.

1095
01:00:13,960 --> 01:00:17,760
Speaker 2: There's another ail, but Adam let me let me let

1096
01:00:17,800 --> 01:00:20,600
Speaker 2: me just tell the listeners here that voice you're hearing

1097
01:00:20,640 --> 01:00:24,320
Speaker 2: is Adam Gelp, Council on Criminal Justice. Look, I'm a

1098
01:00:24,400 --> 01:00:26,640
Speaker 2: lay person at this. I read the stats. I see

1099
01:00:26,640 --> 01:00:28,920
Speaker 2: people like you. You've got you know, you're living this

1100
01:00:29,040 --> 01:00:31,760
Speaker 2: every day. I'm anxious to know that the numbers are

1101
01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:34,000
Speaker 2: going down. But I'm also anxious to know, and I

1102
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:37,600
Speaker 2: suspect much of our audiences why, you know, what are

1103
01:00:37,640 --> 01:00:41,160
Speaker 2: the factors that would lead to these massive reductions in

1104
01:00:41,240 --> 01:00:43,760
Speaker 2: violent crime. I have my theories and I have my question,

1105
01:00:43,800 --> 01:00:45,320
Speaker 2: So I'm going to start with one, if you'll answer

1106
01:00:45,320 --> 01:00:48,240
Speaker 2: it for me. Do you think that there is a

1107
01:00:48,280 --> 01:00:54,520
Speaker 2: correlation between the deporting of violent illegal aliens and violent

1108
01:00:54,560 --> 01:00:57,840
Speaker 2: crimes going down in major metropolitan areas.

1109
01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:05,400
Speaker 14: Scott There is no single easy explanation. And if we

1110
01:01:06,280 --> 01:01:10,480
Speaker 14: default to saying it's it's this, if the if the

1111
01:01:10,560 --> 01:01:13,640
Speaker 14: right of folks on the right say well, it's immigration

1112
01:01:13,720 --> 01:01:16,160
Speaker 14: and enforcement and deportation, of the folks on the left

1113
01:01:16,200 --> 01:01:20,480
Speaker 14: say well, it's more community programs and community violence interruption programs,

1114
01:01:20,920 --> 01:01:24,040
Speaker 14: we're really going to miss the opportunity to understand what

1115
01:01:24,240 --> 01:01:29,160
Speaker 14: is really going on behind behind this and and and

1116
01:01:29,240 --> 01:01:30,760
Speaker 14: to learn the lessons that we need to learn in

1117
01:01:30,840 --> 01:01:32,840
Speaker 14: order to make sure that these gains that we're seeing

1118
01:01:33,360 --> 01:01:36,880
Speaker 14: endure and don't evaporate. And so there are there are

1119
01:01:36,920 --> 01:01:39,320
Speaker 14: so many things that are happening here, long term and

1120
01:01:39,360 --> 01:01:41,720
Speaker 14: short term in the system and uh and not.

1121
01:01:43,280 --> 01:01:44,400
Speaker 8: What we're seeing.

1122
01:01:44,160 --> 01:01:48,880
Speaker 14: Scott is a very broad reduction of crime in cities

1123
01:01:48,920 --> 01:01:52,760
Speaker 14: and jurisdictions across the country. And these are cities that

1124
01:01:52,760 --> 01:01:58,200
Speaker 14: that have different policing and prosecution and violence reduction models.

1125
01:01:58,240 --> 01:02:04,080
Speaker 14: They are cities with different philosophies of their mayors and councils.

1126
01:02:04,960 --> 01:02:08,760
Speaker 14: There are different housing and economic conditions, and they have

1127
01:02:08,920 --> 01:02:14,160
Speaker 14: very different levels of federal enforcement activity. And so when

1128
01:02:14,240 --> 01:02:18,000
Speaker 14: we see that kind of variance along many of the

1129
01:02:18,040 --> 01:02:22,320
Speaker 14: factors that you would think would be driving these drops,

1130
01:02:22,680 --> 01:02:26,000
Speaker 14: then it suggests that there are some really macro level

1131
01:02:26,080 --> 01:02:30,360
Speaker 14: forces that are at work here beyond individual policy practice

1132
01:02:30,360 --> 01:02:32,120
Speaker 14: and program So.

1133
01:02:32,040 --> 01:02:36,160
Speaker 2: It's important for people like me not to get fixated

1134
01:02:36,200 --> 01:02:39,000
Speaker 2: on one possible thing that could be a reducing crime.

1135
01:02:39,440 --> 01:02:41,360
Speaker 2: But I do have questions about things we hear about

1136
01:02:41,400 --> 01:02:43,440
Speaker 2: in the news. Let me go to number two. Do

1137
01:02:43,520 --> 01:02:48,080
Speaker 2: you believe that states and jurisdictions that keep violent criminals

1138
01:02:48,120 --> 01:02:52,280
Speaker 2: in jail longer are experiencing greater reductions. We've heard a

1139
01:02:52,320 --> 01:02:55,160
Speaker 2: lot of news stories where you've got local prosecutors and

1140
01:02:55,240 --> 01:02:57,720
Speaker 2: judges that seem to be interested in putting violent criminals

1141
01:02:57,720 --> 01:03:00,520
Speaker 2: back out on the street as soon as possib but

1142
01:03:00,600 --> 01:03:02,800
Speaker 2: in some places they don't do that. I'm wondering if

1143
01:03:02,880 --> 01:03:06,200
Speaker 2: you detect a difference keeping violent people in jail, it

1144
01:03:06,240 --> 01:03:09,240
Speaker 2: would seem to me would be helpful in reducing violent crime.

1145
01:03:09,280 --> 01:03:11,200
Speaker 3: What do you know about that particular correlation.

1146
01:03:12,240 --> 01:03:15,400
Speaker 14: Yeah, it's a big question you're asking. And the bottom

1147
01:03:15,440 --> 01:03:19,800
Speaker 14: line is that locking up repeat, dangerous final defenders and

1148
01:03:19,880 --> 01:03:22,600
Speaker 14: keeping off the streets for a long time is not

1149
01:03:22,680 --> 01:03:26,760
Speaker 14: only the just thing to do, is an effective thing

1150
01:03:26,800 --> 01:03:29,960
Speaker 14: to do with respect to reducing crime. Here's where the

1151
01:03:30,080 --> 01:03:33,960
Speaker 14: argument gets much trickier, Scott, and it's simply is simply this.

1152
01:03:34,760 --> 01:03:39,360
Speaker 14: The swiftness and certainty of being apprehended and brought to

1153
01:03:39,560 --> 01:03:44,480
Speaker 14: justice is a far more effective deterrent and far cheaper

1154
01:03:44,600 --> 01:03:48,040
Speaker 14: for taxpayers than to throw a lot of people in

1155
01:03:48,080 --> 01:03:50,480
Speaker 14: prison for a long time and keep them well past

1156
01:03:50,840 --> 01:03:53,640
Speaker 14: their crime prone and committing gears. You may want to

1157
01:03:53,680 --> 01:03:57,840
Speaker 14: do that for retributive purposes, and people make sure that

1158
01:03:57,840 --> 01:04:00,200
Speaker 14: people do the crime they need to do the time.

1159
01:04:00,760 --> 01:04:06,520
Speaker 14: But what we have, unfortunately is in the political system

1160
01:04:06,720 --> 01:04:11,720
Speaker 14: dialogue of that that pushes the conversation always to just

1161
01:04:11,800 --> 01:04:16,440
Speaker 14: lengthened sentences, and that actually works against the things that

1162
01:04:16,480 --> 01:04:19,680
Speaker 14: we know are more effective to reduce crime, which is

1163
01:04:19,720 --> 01:04:22,840
Speaker 14: solving more crimes to turing more crimes on the front end.

1164
01:04:24,280 --> 01:04:26,560
Speaker 2: Final question on policy, and then I want to talk

1165
01:04:26,600 --> 01:04:29,360
Speaker 2: to you about your organization in general. Are you seeing

1166
01:04:29,400 --> 01:04:33,680
Speaker 2: any impacts where states and municipalities have invested more resources

1167
01:04:33,680 --> 01:04:37,040
Speaker 2: in the police. Do they see better outcomes on violent

1168
01:04:37,080 --> 01:04:40,240
Speaker 2: crime reduction and say places where they've gone through about

1169
01:04:40,320 --> 01:04:43,240
Speaker 2: of say, reduction in funding for policing agencies.

1170
01:04:43,520 --> 01:04:46,720
Speaker 14: Right, it's a great question, and it's an analysis that

1171
01:04:46,720 --> 01:04:49,120
Speaker 14: we would like to do. This report doesn't go there.

1172
01:04:49,360 --> 01:04:54,840
Speaker 14: We're simply tracking the numbers at this point, but there

1173
01:04:55,160 --> 01:04:58,960
Speaker 14: is a correlation in the long term research on this

1174
01:04:59,080 --> 01:05:04,360
Speaker 14: that does show that policing matters for certain. The key

1175
01:05:04,400 --> 01:05:07,840
Speaker 14: takeaway though, is that it's really the quality of policing Scott,

1176
01:05:07,920 --> 01:05:10,600
Speaker 14: not just the quantity. And I think we've seen those

1177
01:05:10,680 --> 01:05:15,520
Speaker 14: dynamics here where police have been on their back heels,

1178
01:05:16,400 --> 01:05:20,160
Speaker 14: you know, during twenty twenty and twenty one and staffing

1179
01:05:20,240 --> 01:05:24,400
Speaker 14: did drop down. We've seen that rebound sum not quite

1180
01:05:24,400 --> 01:05:29,320
Speaker 14: back to the pre COVID staffing levels, but far more importantly,

1181
01:05:29,360 --> 01:05:31,960
Speaker 14: And a lot of police chiefs would tell you the

1182
01:05:31,960 --> 01:05:35,760
Speaker 14: same thing. The numbers and staffing levels are important, but

1183
01:05:35,840 --> 01:05:38,720
Speaker 14: what they think is helping reduce crime is that they

1184
01:05:38,760 --> 01:05:45,640
Speaker 14: are more precisely targeting the people who are disproportionately driving

1185
01:05:45,720 --> 01:05:47,240
Speaker 14: the crime problems in their communities.

1186
01:05:48,160 --> 01:05:50,520
Speaker 2: All right, Adam Gail, that's the voiceher hearing. He's the

1187
01:05:50,560 --> 01:05:52,840
Speaker 2: CEO of the Council on Criminal Justice. I got about

1188
01:05:52,880 --> 01:05:56,720
Speaker 2: thirty seconds. Adam, tell us about the CCJ and tell

1189
01:05:56,760 --> 01:05:58,720
Speaker 2: us who you are, what you do, and where can

1190
01:05:58,760 --> 01:06:00,960
Speaker 2: people find more information if they want to follow up

1191
01:06:00,960 --> 01:06:03,080
Speaker 2: and get all this evidence in data that you pull together.

1192
01:06:03,080 --> 01:06:04,320
Speaker 3: Where can we get it on the internet.

1193
01:06:05,520 --> 01:06:08,720
Speaker 14: Come see us at counsel on CJ dot org. We're

1194
01:06:08,720 --> 01:06:12,919
Speaker 14: a nonpartisan research and policy organization. We're part think tank

1195
01:06:13,360 --> 01:06:16,600
Speaker 14: and part invitational membership organization. We have about three hundred

1196
01:06:16,640 --> 01:06:19,440
Speaker 14: and fifty five elected members who are sort of the

1197
01:06:19,480 --> 01:06:24,240
Speaker 14: top leaders in policing and courts and corrections. And the

1198
01:06:24,280 --> 01:06:26,440
Speaker 14: main thing we do Scott is called balls and strikes.

1199
01:06:26,480 --> 01:06:31,000
Speaker 14: Just like we're just like we're doing here. It's a

1200
01:06:31,080 --> 01:06:33,640
Speaker 14: rare position that we find ourselves in to be trusted

1201
01:06:33,640 --> 01:06:36,919
Speaker 14: by folks like you and the White House and also

1202
01:06:36,960 --> 01:06:41,640
Speaker 14: folks on the left as an organization that is cutting

1203
01:06:41,640 --> 01:06:45,480
Speaker 14: through the partisan and advocacy talking points and tone it

1204
01:06:45,520 --> 01:06:47,040
Speaker 14: like it is well.

1205
01:06:47,040 --> 01:06:49,800
Speaker 2: I think on a topic as serious as this, actual evidence,

1206
01:06:49,840 --> 01:06:52,960
Speaker 2: actual a data to inform policy decisions is a good thing.

1207
01:06:53,040 --> 01:06:55,000
Speaker 2: Thank you for providing it, Adam Gelb with a Council

1208
01:06:55,040 --> 01:06:57,400
Speaker 2: on Criminal Justice. We'll have you back soon. I want

1209
01:06:57,440 --> 01:06:58,960
Speaker 2: to talk to you all for a moment, just a

1210
01:06:59,000 --> 01:07:01,880
Speaker 2: moment about Medicare. If you're on it, or if you're

1211
01:07:01,880 --> 01:07:05,040
Speaker 2: dealing with family members who are engaging with the Medicare system,

1212
01:07:05,080 --> 01:07:06,240
Speaker 2: you know, it can be frustrated.

1213
01:07:06,280 --> 01:07:09,840
Speaker 3: It's complicated, it's a mess. My mom she was doing this.

1214
01:07:09,920 --> 01:07:12,120
Speaker 3: She got on a plan G. She thought it was good.

1215
01:07:12,640 --> 01:07:14,720
Speaker 2: But then we got on the phone with our friends

1216
01:07:14,760 --> 01:07:17,320
Speaker 2: at Chapter and they said, let us take a look

1217
01:07:17,320 --> 01:07:18,840
Speaker 2: at this. She was on the phone with them for

1218
01:07:18,880 --> 01:07:21,120
Speaker 2: like less than twenty minutes and found out, yeah, the

1219
01:07:21,400 --> 01:07:23,160
Speaker 2: coverage is right, but we can do this in a

1220
01:07:23,200 --> 01:07:25,600
Speaker 2: way that saves you six hundred dollars a year, that

1221
01:07:25,680 --> 01:07:28,240
Speaker 2: was in less than twenty minutes, and that's why I

1222
01:07:28,280 --> 01:07:30,720
Speaker 2: am partnering with Chapter. I want to tell you that

1223
01:07:30,840 --> 01:07:32,760
Speaker 2: Chapter is a phone call that you need to make

1224
01:07:32,800 --> 01:07:34,960
Speaker 2: if you're on Medicare or dealing with a family member

1225
01:07:34,960 --> 01:07:38,120
Speaker 2: who's getting on medicare. Call them up dial pound two

1226

1231
01:07:52,840 --> 01:07:55,440

01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:03,800
Speaker 9: This is the Scot Jenny Show.

1235
01:08:05,080 --> 01:08:08,800
Speaker 2: Rounding out the show today here on Thursday, July twenty third.

1236
01:08:08,880 --> 01:08:09,720
Speaker 3: Thanks for joining us.

1237
01:08:09,720 --> 01:08:13,000
Speaker 2: A few things still in the inbox for today. The

1238
01:08:13,040 --> 01:08:16,640
Speaker 2: Great White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt was at the

1239
01:08:16,680 --> 01:08:19,559
Speaker 2: podium over in the White House for a briefing just

1240
01:08:19,600 --> 01:08:23,479
Speaker 2: a couple of hours ago. You know she today and

1241
01:08:23,680 --> 01:08:28,040
Speaker 2: President Trump in his speech last night in Georgia, setting

1242
01:08:28,160 --> 01:08:31,720
Speaker 2: up a real contrast on taxes Let's do it this way.

1243
01:08:31,800 --> 01:08:36,280
Speaker 2: Let's hear President Trump last night in Georgia laying it

1244
01:08:36,320 --> 01:08:39,680
Speaker 2: out the number of Georgians saving money thanks to his

1245
01:08:39,840 --> 01:08:41,599
Speaker 2: tax cuts in the Big Beautiful Bill.

1246
01:08:41,640 --> 01:08:42,719
Speaker 3: That's cut number twelve.

1247
01:08:43,120 --> 01:08:46,439
Speaker 12: As an example, seven hundred thousand Georgia workers saved an

1248
01:08:46,479 --> 01:08:50,040
Speaker 12: average of over three thousand dollars thanks to no tax

1249
01:08:50,120 --> 01:08:53,880
Speaker 12: on overtime. And five hundred thousand Georgia seniors paid zero

1250
01:08:54,000 --> 01:08:57,960
Speaker 12: dollars on their Social Security benefits thanks to no tax

1251
01:08:58,439 --> 01:08:59,960
Speaker 12: on Social Security.

1252
01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:06,040
Speaker 2: Unequivocally true. Donald Trump in his first term cut taxes.

1253
01:09:06,080 --> 01:09:08,759
Speaker 2: The Big Beautiful Bill made the Trump tax cuts permanent,

1254
01:09:08,800 --> 01:09:12,679
Speaker 2: and they added these additional tax cuts to working class

1255
01:09:12,720 --> 01:09:14,200
Speaker 2: Americans today.

1256
01:09:14,320 --> 01:09:15,479
Speaker 3: That was punch number one.

1257
01:09:15,560 --> 01:09:17,759
Speaker 2: The two of this one to two punch was Levitt

1258
01:09:18,360 --> 01:09:22,240
Speaker 2: at the Press Secretary's podium. She says, if the Democrats

1259
01:09:22,280 --> 01:09:24,200
Speaker 2: get their way, the opposite will happen.

1260
01:09:24,240 --> 01:09:26,120
Speaker 3: They'll raise your taxes cut sixteen.

1261
01:09:28,439 --> 01:09:31,960
Speaker 16: Democrats throw around the word affordability a lot, but when

1262
01:09:31,960 --> 01:09:34,320
Speaker 16: they had the chance to vote for the largest middle

1263
01:09:34,360 --> 01:09:38,400
Speaker 16: class tax cuts in history, they refused. If Democrats got

1264
01:09:38,439 --> 01:09:41,240
Speaker 16: their way, it would have meant the largest tax increase

1265
01:09:41,280 --> 01:09:45,519
Speaker 16: in history four trillion dollars. Ninety percent of Americans would

1266
01:09:45,520 --> 01:09:47,559
Speaker 16: have seen their taxes go up, and it would have

1267
01:09:47,600 --> 01:09:51,240
Speaker 16: been a complete disaster for our economy. That's the Democrat

1268
01:09:51,320 --> 01:09:55,040
Speaker 16: solution to quote affordability. It is raising your taxes.

1269
01:09:56,320 --> 01:09:58,880
Speaker 2: You can see what Trump and Levitt are doing here.

1270
01:09:59,280 --> 01:10:01,640
Speaker 2: It's a good messag for the White House. But what

1271
01:10:01,760 --> 01:10:06,120
Speaker 2: they are doing is setting up a lesson. They're setting

1272
01:10:06,200 --> 01:10:09,519
Speaker 2: up a messaging tool. They're setting up a vector for

1273
01:10:09,600 --> 01:10:13,080
Speaker 2: every Republican campaign in the country. We talk all the

1274
01:10:13,120 --> 01:10:15,679
Speaker 2: time on this show about the top races, the ones

1275
01:10:15,720 --> 01:10:17,400
Speaker 2: going on in the House and the Senate. But if

1276
01:10:17,400 --> 01:10:21,680
Speaker 2: you're a Republican incumbent out there and you voted for

1277
01:10:21,720 --> 01:10:27,840
Speaker 2: these tax cuts, you voted for affordability, and you can

1278
01:10:27,880 --> 01:10:31,400
Speaker 2: see Trump and Levitt trying to coach the party. Is

1279
01:10:31,439 --> 01:10:34,360
Speaker 2: one of the oldest and simplest arguments in campaigns, who's

1280
01:10:34,360 --> 01:10:36,519
Speaker 2: going to cut taxes and who's going to raise taxes?

1281
01:10:37,280 --> 01:10:39,280
Speaker 3: And on this the record is very clear.

1282
01:10:40,040 --> 01:10:43,479
Speaker 2: It's the Republicans who have and will cut your taxes,

1283
01:10:44,040 --> 01:10:47,680
Speaker 2: and it's the Democrats who have consistently opposed Trump on

1284
01:10:47,840 --> 01:10:51,719
Speaker 2: cutting taxes. And in fact, you have Democrats now running

1285
01:10:52,280 --> 01:10:57,040
Speaker 2: on this tax the rich and they say, oh, we

1286
01:10:57,120 --> 01:10:59,800
Speaker 2: just want to tax the billionaires. Any reasonable person would

1287
01:10:59,840 --> 01:11:03,280
Speaker 2: look at this and see, you can't just tax the billionaires.

1288
01:11:03,320 --> 01:11:05,080
Speaker 2: If you want to do everything they say they want

1289
01:11:05,120 --> 01:11:10,880
Speaker 2: to do, nationalize health care and everything else, it won't

1290
01:11:10,880 --> 01:11:16,640
Speaker 2: be the billionaires. It'll be middle class Americans, average everyday

1291
01:11:16,720 --> 01:11:18,760
Speaker 2: Americans you get up and go to work every day,

1292
01:11:19,760 --> 01:11:24,360
Speaker 2: who get nailed with the bill. And in the socialist worldview,

1293
01:11:24,439 --> 01:11:28,040
Speaker 2: it's not just the billionaires who are considered rich. Now,

1294
01:11:28,080 --> 01:11:31,160
Speaker 2: it's anybody with a job. It's anybody who gets up

1295
01:11:31,160 --> 01:11:34,120
Speaker 2: and goes to work every day. You'll be considered part

1296
01:11:34,160 --> 01:11:38,679
Speaker 2: of the wealthy. You'll be considered someone who isn't paying

1297
01:11:39,360 --> 01:11:42,519
Speaker 2: their fair share. So this is a message Trump and

1298
01:11:42,600 --> 01:11:44,640
Speaker 2: Leavitt are setting up for the Republicans. I hope the

1299
01:11:44,640 --> 01:11:47,760
Speaker 2: candidates and the incumbents are listening out there, and I

1300
01:11:47,800 --> 01:11:50,720
Speaker 2: hope they pay attention to the polling because it's a

1301
01:11:50,760 --> 01:11:54,759
Speaker 2: message that Republicans respond to, and everybody's worried about Republican turnout.

1302
01:11:55,920 --> 01:12:02,639
Speaker 2: Republicans respond to tax cuts for whatever other issues are

1303
01:12:02,640 --> 01:12:05,960
Speaker 2: going on in the world and inside the party. Republicans

1304
01:12:06,000 --> 01:12:09,080
Speaker 2: of all kinds respond to two tax cuts, and that

1305
01:12:09,240 --> 01:12:13,439
Speaker 2: is why Donald Trump has the best Republican Party approval

1306
01:12:13,560 --> 01:12:17,080
Speaker 2: rating of any Republican president in recent memory. Even harryetting

1307
01:12:17,080 --> 01:12:21,400
Speaker 2: Over at CNN says, so, here's the numbers, cut fourteen twenty.

1308
01:12:21,080 --> 01:12:23,720
Speaker 17: First century own party approval rating about at this point

1309
01:12:23,800 --> 01:12:26,000
Speaker 17: the second term. We got Trump, we got Obama, we

1310
01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:28,839
Speaker 17: got Bush. Look the real fairly popular. But the one

1311
01:12:28,880 --> 01:12:31,080
Speaker 17: who is the most popular, and we have seen this

1312
01:12:31,240 --> 01:12:33,559
Speaker 17: time and time out, no matter when you look, is

1313
01:12:33,600 --> 01:12:36,360
Speaker 17: Donald John Trump. He's the only one who's over eighty percent.

1314
01:12:36,560 --> 01:12:39,160
Speaker 17: Eighty three percent of Republicans still approve of the job

1315
01:12:39,200 --> 01:12:41,760
Speaker 17: that Donald Trump is doing as president. He still has

1316
01:12:41,800 --> 01:12:44,160
Speaker 17: that magic touch. We'll see if it carries over to

1317
01:12:44,200 --> 01:12:46,519
Speaker 17: South Carolina. But we've seen it in primaries this year

1318
01:12:46,640 --> 01:12:48,679
Speaker 17: centate primaries. And is because he is still a very

1319
01:12:48,680 --> 01:12:51,720
Speaker 17: popular man, historically popular when it comes to his own

1320
01:12:51,760 --> 01:12:53,480
Speaker 17: party liking and approving.

1321
01:12:53,120 --> 01:12:53,559
Speaker 3: Of the job.

1322
01:12:54,800 --> 01:12:57,760
Speaker 2: Why is Donald Trump popular in the Republican Party, It's

1323
01:12:57,840 --> 01:13:02,840
Speaker 2: very simple. He does policy things that Republicans and Conservatives

1324
01:13:03,560 --> 01:13:08,120
Speaker 2: ask for and approve of. He closes the border, he

1325
01:13:08,160 --> 01:13:12,160
Speaker 2: deports the illegal aliens. He takes on the media. He

1326
01:13:12,280 --> 01:13:15,759
Speaker 2: is worried about doing something about our corrupt voter systems,

1327
01:13:16,720 --> 01:13:21,120
Speaker 2: and he cuts taxes. He cut them in his first term,

1328
01:13:21,160 --> 01:13:25,160
Speaker 2: he cut them in his second term. Every Republican ought

1329
01:13:25,160 --> 01:13:29,280
Speaker 2: to rally around this every single day. Democrats have no

1330
01:13:30,040 --> 01:13:32,120
Speaker 2: answer for it. We're done for the day. Back tomorrow.

1331
01:13:32,120 --> 01:13:34,120
Speaker 2: Thanks for listening. Scott Jennings on Salem.

1332
01:13:34,439 --> 01:13:34,920
Speaker 3: See you then,
