Speaker 2: The voice of free speech, the truth delivered, common sense

8
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:39,200
Speaker 2: for the American people. Welcome to the Scott Jenning Show.

9
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: Breaking news. The United States Senate voted in the middle

10
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,599
Speaker 1: of the night to fund most, but not all, of

11
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: the Department of Homeland Security. But what will happen in

12
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: the House. We've got the latest on this fast developing story,

13
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: including a huge interview to react to this. Today a

14
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: Democratic Congress. This woman has been found guilty by the

15
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 1: House Ethics Committee of corruption. We'll tell you about that.

16
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 1: And poor old Jimmy Kimmel just cannot get his foot

17
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 1: out of his mouth when it comes to describing his

18
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: feelings about working class Americans. It is Friday, March twenty seventh.

19
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: This is common sense for the American people. I'm Scott

20
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 1: Jennings broadcasting for Salem Today and we are live in

21
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 1: a somewhat cloudy and rainy Louisville, Kentucky. Topping the news

22
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 1: this hour fast moving developments on Capitol Hill. Following a

23
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: dead of night vote in the Senate to reopen or

24
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 1: at least fund most of the Department of Homeland Security,

25
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:46,400
Speaker 1: Senators did pass a funding bill on a voice vote

26
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: that funded all of DHS except for Ice and Customs

27
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: and Border Patrol. And then they adjourned and they left

28
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: town a two week recess for Easter. This puts the

29
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: ball back in the House's court and over there. While

30
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: Republicans are not happy about the way this has been

31
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,919
Speaker 1: put back in their laps, the Speaker of the House

32
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,839
Speaker 1: is blaming Democrats this morning for the entire mess. Here

33
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: is Mike Johnson a little while ago in the hallway

34
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: in the Capitol in cut number thirteen.

35
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 3: We get all the.

36
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 4: Group together, as it said, Ben spatiis this morning about say,

37
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 4: it's infuriating that Democrats are willing to inflict.

38
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 3: Paint on the American people simply so they can defund

39
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 3: the agency that is responsible literaries for who can't come

40
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 3: out with legal aliens.

41
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: And as the Speaker of the House said, they are

42
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 1: getting the House Republicans together. They're having a conference call

43
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: and talking to the press this hour, and we here

44
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: at the Scott Jennings Show are expecting Speaker Mike Johnson

45
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: to call into the show live today during our two

46
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: hour rotation and react to what's happening in the Senate

47
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: and to tell us how his conference has decided to react.

48
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: Over in the House. My source to say that the

49
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: current thinking among House Republicans is to pass a clean

50
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: sixty day continuing resolution that fully funds the Department of

51
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: Homeland Security, including ICE and including border patrol. House Republicans

52
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: are telling me they will never vote to defund border security.

53
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: As we reported, many House Republicans are unhappy and this

54
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: deal that came out of the Senate again in the

55
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: middle of the night, is on extremely shaky ground over

56
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 1: in the House. But again stay tuned, we'll have the

57
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: Speaker on later in the show and we'll get the latest,

58
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: the absolute latest on this breaking news other Capitol Hill news,

59
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: and this is also breaking this morning in Washington. The

60
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: House Ethics Committee has found Representative Sheila Sherfhilus McCormick of

61
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: Florida guilty guilty on twenty five ethics charges after a

62
00:03:55,880 --> 00:04:00,040
Speaker 1: nearly seven hour televised hearing. Now, we brought you this

63
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: story earlier this week, and it was likely the only

64
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: place that you heard about it because Democrats in mainstream

65
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: media have ignored and covered up this blatant corruption. This

66
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: investigation spanned three years, and it found that McCormick steered

67
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 1: five million dollars in federal taxpayer relief funds into her

68
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: own congressional campaign. Sherfilus McCormick faces criminal charges over all

69
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: of this in federal court. She's due to go on

70
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: trial for that next month. The Ethics Panel, it was

71
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: led by House Ethics Chairman Michael Guest, and they deliberated

72
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: last night, well into the night past midnight, following that

73
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,239
Speaker 1: long trial. In fact, it was the Ethics Committee's first

74
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: public trial in nearly sixteen years, quite a rare sight

75
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: on Capitol Hill. The Ethics Committee found quote clear and

76
00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:00,359
Speaker 1: convincing evidence that Sherfilus McCormick was guilty on all but

77
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 1: two of the initial twenty seven counts that had been

78
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: brought against her, without a doubt, Ladies and gentlemen, this

79
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 1: is one of the most brazen acts of corruption in

80
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,359
Speaker 1: modern congressional history, and What stands out here not just

81
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:18,919
Speaker 1: the findings, but rather the silence. Democrats have largely looked

82
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: the other way on the corruption of one of their own,

83
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: and mainstream media has been conspicuously quiet. You can do

84
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: the math on why that might be. What happens next well,

85
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 1: likely triphilist McCormick will face an expulsion vote on the

86
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:39,039
Speaker 1: floor of the US House, unless she chooses to resign

87
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 1: before that moment. This is not the only ethics story

88
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 1: brewing in Washington today. Everyone's favorite Gassie, Congressman Eric Swalwell

89
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: of California, may be in some hot water as well.

90
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 1: Fellow Democrats of Swallwell's are raising ethics questions about his

91
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: outreach for a business his political AI startup, called find Raiser.

92
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 1: Some say what he is doing is running a foul

93
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: of House ethics rules. Six Democratic political operatives have told

94
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: the news site Notice that Swalwell and his former chief

95
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: of staff Yardina Wolfe, repeatedly pitched this business, find Raiser,

96
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: to lawmakers and their staff via texts, emails, and in

97
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:31,039
Speaker 1: person meetings. Now, House ethics rules prohibit lawmakers and their

98
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 1: staff from using their official position to gain pecuniary advantage

99
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: or to promote private interests. Ethics guidance in fact, warns

100
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 1: against actions that could create the perception of improper conduct. Now,

101
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: Swalwell is currently running for governor of California. Seems like

102
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: this might come up in the attacks from other campaigns

103
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: if it's all true. By the way, it raises fresh

104
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: questions about the intersection of technology fundraising and official duty

105
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: as Swalwell navigates that crowded gubernatorial primary field. More corruption news,

106
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: this one in Louisiana. The state Supreme Court there has

107
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: suspended the license of Black Lives Matter lawyer Tanzanika Ruffin

108
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: after she was indicted for stealing a quarter of a

109
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: million dollars. Fox eight News in New Orleans called it

110
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: this way and cut number eleven.

111
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 5: Also this hour. Here's what else we are monitoring. The

112
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 5: Louisiana Supreme Court suspends the law license of a lawyer,

113
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 5: Tanzanika Ruffin, this after she was federally indicted this month.

114
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 5: She is accused of stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars

115
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 5: from a client she represented for a battery case in

116
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 5: Orleans Parish. Last year. Federal prosecutors charged her with account

117
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 5: of wirefraud. Ruffin's lawyer contends she paid the more than

118
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 5: two hundred and fifty thousand dollars she's accused of stealing,

119
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 5: and she paid that back. She will enter a plea

120
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 5: in the case next week. This week, the Supreme Court

121
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 5: says rough and is barred from practicing law until further notice.

122
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: Out there of people involved in the Black Lives Matter movement,

123
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: you won't believe this one, or maybe you will since

124
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: it takes place in San Francisco. The man convicted in

125
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: the killing of eighty four year old Grandpa Vicha, a brutal,

126
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: unprovoked attack that was caught on video, is now being

127
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: released from jail. The perpetrator here is Antwine Watson. He

128
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 1: was sentenced to eight years, he served five, and now

129
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: a judge has decided it is time to turn him loose.

130
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: Here's the justification. The judge says, this isn't the best

131
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: interest of public safety to let this killer out of jail.

132
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 1: Delivering the ruling, Judge Linda Colefax noted that the criminal

133
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: here suffers from PTSD and had experienced abuse, neglect, and

134
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 1: violence as a child. Now, Watson's own excuse for killing

135
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 1: Grandpa Vicha seriously was that he was stressed that day

136
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 1: from having encountered the police earlier in the day, so

137
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: that caused him. He said to then kill this eighty

138
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: four year old man. Now, the victim's family says this

139
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: is not justice, and they're right, folks, they are livid.

140
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: This is exactly the kind of thinking that's turned parts

141
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: of California into a revolving door for violent criminals. Soft

142
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,719
Speaker 1: on crime ideology dressed up in nice language, with devastating

143
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 1: real world consequences. That's what you get in blue states

144
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: and blue cities these days. Once again, we don't have

145
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: to live this way. This case, by the way, was

146
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 1: the spur for the Stop Asian Hate movement that launched

147
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: a few years ago. Again the judge here, Linda Colefax Colfax,

148
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: who appears to be ignoring the cold, hard facts of

149
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,559
Speaker 1: this case of violent crime. It's common sense for the

150
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:02,319
Speaker 1: American people. I'm Scott Jennings, broadcasting for Salem. A quick

151
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: word for our friends at Relief Factor. Now, if you've

152
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 1: been listening to this show, you know that I personally

153
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: endorse Relief Factor. We're using it in the Jennings household.

154
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 1: And there's one more good thing that's happened recently. And

155
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: that is Relief Factor has improved the formula. They have

156
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 1: added a black pepper extract. It helps your body absorb

157
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,960

00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: take a check back on the corruption and fraud going

171
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: on in Minnesota. When we come back. It's Scott Jennings

172
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: on Salem. Stay with us. Hey, it's Scott Jennings. You know,

173
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you I think nutrition has gotten way

174
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 1: too complicated. Every week there's a new powder, a new

175
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 1: lab created formula some new breakthrough. But here is the truth.

176
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,079
Speaker 1: We've been told since we were kids to eat our

177
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: fruits and vegetables. Nobody really had to explain why we

178
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: just did it. Because when you eat whole foods, you're

179
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: getting phito nutrients, those natural compounds that your body uses

180
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: to adjust, repair and respond every single day. That's not hype.

181
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 1: That's how human beings were designed. That's why I take

182
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:52,199
Speaker 1: Balance of Nature. They use a tailored vacuum cold process

183
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: that stabilizes the phyto nutrition in fruits and veggies, so

184
00:11:56,080 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 1: you're getting real whole food nutrition, not synthetic substitutes. Their

185

Speaker 1: whole health system includes fruits and veggies, plus fiber and spice,

192
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:38,839
Speaker 2: Here's Scott Jennings.

193
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 1: It is Friday, March twenty seventh, and we are following

194
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 1: up today on all the fraud that's been discovered and

195
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:50,319
Speaker 1: the People's Republic of Minnesota State Representative Kristin Robbins joins

196
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: us now she's leading the ongoing fraud hearings up there.

197
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: Representative Robbins, thanks for joining us here on the show.

198
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: I believe you had another hearing this week. What's the latest?

199
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: What have you uncovered in Minnesota?

200
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 7: Thanks for having me. Yes, this week, our hearing was

201
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 7: on the amount of cash that's been flown out of

202
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 7: the Minneapolis St. Paul Airport. It's a stunning number. This

203
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 7: year or in twenty twenty five, there were three hundred

204
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 7: and fifty million dollars in cash flown out of our airport,

205
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 7: which is ninety nine percent higher than the amount of

206
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 7: cash flying out of JFK lax are much bigger airport.

207
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 7: So it was a stunning number, and we had witnesses

208
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 7: talking about why this is legal, why how the processes

209
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:38,679
Speaker 7: for this, and also how it ties back to childcare fraud,

210
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 7: you know, a decade ago. So this is something we

211
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 7: in Minnesota have to get a handle on.

212
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: Okay, So you're telling me that three hundred and fifty

213
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: million dollars went out of the country through the airport

214
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 1: in Saint Paul, Minneapolis, I guess the next logical question

215
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 1: is where did it go?

216
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,719
Speaker 7: Well, it's very challenging to trace. Most of it. They

217
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 7: seem to think goes to Dubai or the UAE and

218
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,199
Speaker 7: then from there goes out to East Africa. But because

219
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:14,559
Speaker 7: it's cash, once it gets over in the first destination,

220
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 7: it's much harder to track. And that's one of the

221
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 7: concerns so early on when this first was there were

222
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 7: whistleblowers back in the twenty fifteen twenty eighteen period and

223
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 7: they had established credible ties to terrorism with the money.

224
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 7: There were actually some court convictions here of two women

225
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 7: who were sending cash through the Hawala system and they

226
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 7: were convicted on terrorism charges. So then banks stopped working

227
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 7: with thejalas and that's when everything switched to cash and

228
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 7: it's actually become harder to trace. But Secretary Besson is

229
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 7: doing a good job. He was here in January. They've

230
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 7: really tried to help us with some geo tracking and

231
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 7: some investigations and limiting the reporting. So now you can

232
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 7: still take an unlimited amount out in cash, which I

233
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 7: think most kids are shocked by. But it used to

234
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 7: be if you took ten thousand or more you had

235
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 7: to fill out a form. Now they've reduced it to

236
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 7: three thousand or more, so at least we're aware when

237
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 7: large sums of cash are going out. But I'm hoping

238
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 7: that our federal partners will put a limit on what

239
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 7: you can take out of the country in cash.

240
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: There has been some reporting that some of this cash

241
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: going out of Minnesota and then overseas and winding up

242
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: in East Africa actually winds up in the hands of

243
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: terrorist organizations. Is it your belief that that is true,

244
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 1: that our money that is supposed to be helping people

245
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: in Minnesota winds up in the hands of terrorists and

246
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: other places.

247
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 7: Yes, So, as I mentioned, there have been two actually

248
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 7: court convictions demonstrating that link. But then also whenever the

249
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 7: Jalas get the cash on the other side, because a

250
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 7: lot of the territory is controlled by al Shabab, they

251
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 7: take a cut. So indirectly al Shabab gets a cut

252
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 7: of what flies out of here in cash from Minnesota.

253
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm trying to rep my head around how all

254
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 1: this gets converted to cash. So I assume it's electronic

255
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 1: transfers from the federal government to the state government, and

256
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: then state government's paying these fraudulent outfits, and then at

257
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: what point is it converted to cash? And then, you know,

258
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 1: kind of a rudimentary question, if you go to the

259
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: airport with hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars of cash,

260
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: how are people carrying it? Is it in sacks? Is

261
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 1: it in suitcases? Is it taped to their bodies? Have

262
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: you all discovered how the transportation of it actually works?

263
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 7: So we had great testimony from a retired TSA officer

264
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 7: from the airport, and what she testified is that they

265
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 7: bring this it's like a carry on suitcase. They bring

266
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 7: it through the checkpoint and it's flagged as a suitcase

267
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 7: of cash, and then they take those people into a

268
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 7: private room and they look through the suitcase, and she said,

269
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 7: we're not counting the money. We're just looking to make

270
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 7: sure there are no guns or drugs buried under the

271
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 7: money in the suitcase. So what concerns me is that

272
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 7: a they're not counting the money and b they're not

273
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 7: tying it to the form that supposedly is filled out

274
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 7: to track this. So there's a form from Finnsen, it's

275
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 7: called Form one oh five that people have to file

276
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,120
Speaker 7: with the airport's seventy two hours in advance of when

277
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 7: they plan to leave with cash. And if they're not

278
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:23,199
Speaker 7: verifying that form is tied to this courier and this

279
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 7: amount of cash, I don't know what good the forms do,

280
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 7: so that part needs to be tightened up. And as

281
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 7: I said, I think we should limit the amount of

282
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 7: cash people can. Certainly it's their money. Well, in this

283
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 7: case it might be fraudulent money. But in some cases

284
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,479
Speaker 7: people want to take their own money. That's fine, but

285
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 7: you shouldn't be able to take it in cash. You

286
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 7: should have to wire it or let there be a

287
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 7: process for following it.

288
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, sounds very shady, to say the least. State Representative

289
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 1: Kristin Robbins of Minnesota, thanks for joining us. We'll check

290
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 1: back with you over the weeks and months ahead. I

291
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: think you all were just scratching the surface there about

292
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: all the fraud that's going on in Many We're gonna

293
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 1: take a break. When we come back from Politico. Jonathan Martin,

294
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 1: one of the best known political journalists in the country,

295
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,439
Speaker 1: is going to join us. We'll talk about the breaking

296
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 1: news of the possible but shaky deal to fund DHS

297
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: in Washington. Scott Jennings here on Salem. Stay with us. Hey,

298
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:33,479
Speaker 1: it's Scott Jennings.

299
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 5: You know.

300
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: Depending on where you live, crime may be skyrocketing, and

301
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: you may already own a firearm. But before you face

302
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 1: the financial, legal, and emotional weight of pulling the trigger,

303
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 1: there's a smarter option. It's called Burna that's b y

304
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:54,919
Speaker 1: r n A. Burna makes a less lethal launcher that

305
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 1: fires tear gas and kinetic rounds designed to stop an

306
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 1: attacker for up to four forty minutes that gives you

307
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 1: time to escape and call for help without deadly consequences.

308
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 1: Their best selling compact launcher is sleek, slim, and incredibly powerful.

309
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 1: It's about the size of a smartphone, and it is

310
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 1: ideal for concealed caring. It's comfortable, discreet, and confidence building.

311
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 1: It fires at four hundred feet per second with serious

Speaker 2: It's the Scott Jenny Show.

322
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 1: And you're listening to it. On Friday, March twenty seventh,

323
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:16,159
Speaker 1: Common Sense for the American People. Scott Jennings broadcasting today

324
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 1: from Louisville, Kentucky. In just sixty seconds, famed political journalist

325
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:26,679
Speaker 1: and author Jonathan Martin of Politico will join us to

326
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,679
Speaker 1: tackle today's breaking news, including what's going on up at

327
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 1: the Capitol regarding getting DHS funded. First, I do have

328
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 1: a message that every parent and frankly every grandparent needs

329
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 1: to hear more. Kids are being targeted online. They're spending

330
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:47,199
Speaker 1: time on these gaming platforms, social media messaging apps, and

331
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,640
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of protections for the kids on there.

332
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: Predators are slipping through the cracks, and it's families that

333
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 1: pay the price. Our friends and partners at Child Help

334
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 1: hear from children every day who are being contacted by

335
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,479
Speaker 1: predators through these games and these apps. These kids are

336
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 1: being groomed, manipulated, and threatened by adults who are pretending

337
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 1: to be someone else. Child Help, you know, runs the

338
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:16,160
Speaker 1: national child abuse hotline. They hear from kids every day.

339
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 1: Here's a story. A boy called them up, terrified and

340
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: ashamed he met someone in an online game. Turns out

341
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:27,640
Speaker 1: that person was an adult who started demanding photos from

342
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 1: the boy, and he told the boy, I'm going to

343
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: lie to your parents about you if you don't comply.

344
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:37,920
Speaker 1: As you can imagine, this little boy was absolutely frightened

345
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 1: for his life. He called child Help. Child Help interceded

346
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,959
Speaker 1: and saved the boy's life. Most likely. That's why child

347
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: Help matters. It's why your donation of twenty seven dollars matters,

348
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: because for twenty seven dollars, you can save one child

349
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:59,159
Speaker 1: from this predatory abuse. Here's how you do it. Go

350
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:04,119
Speaker 1: to child Help slash Scott or text the word child

351
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,399
Speaker 1: Help to nine four eight seven eight and chip in

352
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: twenty seven dollars. Today. Here's something I want you to

353
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 1: know personally. I know Child Help. I know the people

354
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 1: who run the organization. I've been to their headquarters. I

355
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 1: trust them. They're using the money to save children, period,

356
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 1: full stop. Please support child Help and our efforts to

357
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,919
Speaker 1: end the scourge of child abuse today, all right? Joining me?

358
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: On the line for a conversation about what's going on

359
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 1: in Washington and national politics. Jonathan Martin of Politico. You've

360
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 1: probably read his stuff over the years, written for Politico,

361
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 1: the New York Times best selling author out there. Jmart

362
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 1: we just saw each other in Florida this week. We

363
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 1: brief the real estate people. Good to talk to you.

364
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:49,880
Speaker 8: Hey, Scott, goodnes see you man.

365
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:51,919
Speaker 1: Thank you for doing this. We've got a lot of

366
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,640
Speaker 1: breaking news right now, and I'm going to start there.

367
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 1: The Senate overnight did a voice vote and funded most

368
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 1: of d It goes back to the House. Based on

369
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: what I'm hearing, Speaker Johnson and the House Republicans are

370
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 1: none too pleased with what's happened, and they're not going

371
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 1: to ratify this deal. We've got the Speaker coming on,

372
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 1: I think in about a half an hour. What are

373
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 1: your sources telling you, Jonathan.

374
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 9: There's an old saying of the capital of the other

375
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 9: party is the opposition, but the other chamber is the enemy,

376
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 9: and I think this is one of those cases. This

377
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,160
Speaker 9: is one of those cases where it's not just part

378
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,680
Speaker 9: of it's always partisan, but it's not just parties. It's

379
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 9: also about turf and it's about the House not wanting

380
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 9: to be jammed by the Senate, because the House is

381
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 9: always jammed by the Senate. So most of your listeners

382
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 9: know this, but you know, late last night, basically what

383
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:44,880
Speaker 9: happened was the Senate stopped trying to.

384
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 8: Cut a deal.

385
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 9: The two parties gave up, and they decide to just

386
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 9: do what they usually do, which is punt by some

387
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 9: more time and go off on recess. And so they

388
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 9: effectively in the Senate. The voice Foe wasn't even recorded, Scott.

389
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 9: They passed to bill that funds everything in DHS, including

390
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 9: those TSA agents, but not Ice and the border folks,

391
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 9: and decided to address that down the road and then

392
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:12,679
Speaker 9: just fix the TSA problem.

393
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 8: Now, Okay, the.

394
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 9: Problem is House guys said, whoa wait a minute, We're

395
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 9: not cool with that. We actually want to have a

396
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 9: say in this and want to address a policy issue now.

397
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 8: So at this point there's a total question mark. And

398
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 8: maybe Mike Johnson will clarify this for you as to

399
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 8: whether or not they're.

400
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 9: Gonna fund DHS and get those TSA agents funded going

401
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 9: into the Eastern recess.

402
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 8: I think it's up in the air now.

403
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, it seems that way, and I know that right now.

404
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 1: Our sources are telling us they're having a conference call

405
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 1: among House Republicans right now trying to sort out what

406
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna do next. It is interesting the shutdown lasted

407
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 1: over forty days. I'm trying to discern what Democrats think

408
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 1: they got out of this. The TSA agents, I guess today,

409
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 1: are missing their third paycheck. They we wanted some policy

410
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 1: changes at ICE and then the way we do immigration enforcement.

411
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,160
Speaker 1: But the voice vote the Senate held last night didn't

412
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 1: make any policy changes. It was just simply a funding bill.

413
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 1: Did Democrats actually get anything out of this other than

414
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,880
Speaker 1: inflicting misery on America's travelers.

415
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:19,120
Speaker 2: No.

416
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:23,880
Speaker 9: In fact, they could have had some policy changes that

417
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 9: were made to ICE, and I think there were some

418
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 9: offers on the table. They just could never get to

419
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 9: an agreement, and so ultimately there were no policy changes

420
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 9: made to ICE, and they effectively just kicked the can

421
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 9: down the road. To have that conversation later, and the

422
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 9: Republicans are going to try to pass the ICE funding

423
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 9: through US called reconciliation, in which he just did a

424
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 9: bare majority of senators, which.

425
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,479
Speaker 8: Could make it easier depending on what else is in

426
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:50,879
Speaker 8: the bill, but no, Scott.

427
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:52,919
Speaker 9: I mean the upside of all of this, you know,

428
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:57,880
Speaker 9: bickering and negotiation the last few months, is neither party

429
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 9: got anything necessarily that they the Republicans wanted just to

430
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 9: pass DHS entirely. Democrats wanted to pass the just after

431
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 9: making tweaks to ICE, and neither of those things have happened.

432
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 8: They've just bought more time.

433
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, So it seems like in the House what they

434
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 1: might be plotting to do, and again I think this

435
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,879
Speaker 1: is very fluid, Jmart, because they're still meeting, would be

436
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 1: for the House Republicans to come back and pass a

437
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: clean funding bill for DHS, a sixty day clean CR

438
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,640
Speaker 1: that includes ICE and CBP that would then go back

439
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 1: to the Senate. But the Senate adjourned last night for

440
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 1: two weeks, and so you know, if the House follows

441
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 1: through on that plan, what happens next? Do they stay

442
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,639
Speaker 1: on the recess or do they cancel the recess and

443
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:47,399
Speaker 1: come back. What's your best guess, Like, if the House

444
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 1: passes something that can't get through the Senate easily, I

445
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 1: don't think Leider Thune would.

446
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 8: Call them back.

447
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 9: Now, if the House passes something that Thune thinks that

448
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 9: they have the votes to pass, then he may call

449
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 9: them back. I just think he's gonna call them back

450
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 9: for more political theatrics.

451
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 8: I think it depends what comes out of the House.

452
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,439
Speaker 1: So bottom line here, and we'll learn more here in

453
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: the next couple of hours. We may be in for

454
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:16,360
Speaker 1: two or more weeks of this continued TSA nightmare. Now,

455
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,880
Speaker 1: on top of all this, last night or last afternoon,

456
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 1: I suppose President Trump announced that he was declaring a

457
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:28,640
Speaker 1: national emergency and authorizing the new DHS Secretary Mark Wayne

458
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 1: Mullen to pay TSA agents, which I guess they are

459
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,919
Speaker 1: going to try to do, although it's not clear to

460
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: me whether someone will challenge the authority on that. What

461
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 1: are you hearing on that front?

462
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 8: Well, that's exactly right.

463
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,239
Speaker 9: So you know, President Trump, who doesn't have a lot

464
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 9: of patience for Congress generally, but certainly not when when

465
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 9: TSA is not being funded and the airports are causing

466
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:51,879
Speaker 9: terrible daily headlines.

467
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 8: He has no patience.

468
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 9: Has had done what he's done on a lot of things,

469
00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 9: but just try to do something via executive Order Scott,

470
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 9: and he's trying to basically pay these folks now or

471
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 9: Toro to the pen as you know, the challenge with

472
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 9: governing by executive order is this stuff gets challenged in

473
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 9: courts and it gets bounced around the appellate courts, and.

474
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 8: That takes time. And so yeah, I think you're right.

475
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 9: This would be challenged on constitutional grounds and it would

476
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,920
Speaker 9: go through the courts. And then we're ten days, two weeks,

477
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 9: three weeks at TSA folks still aren't getting paid. Then

478
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 9: there's more lines because more of them aren't showing up

479
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 9: or they're quitting entirely, and we still have the same

480
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 9: mess on our hands.

481
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,400
Speaker 1: I guess what's not clear to me is I think

482
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:37,880
Speaker 1: today they were supposed to get a paycheck, but it's

483
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 1: not clear to me whether that's been transmitted or will

484
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 1: be transmitted. I'm not actually sure, just as a technical matter,

485
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 1: where that stands today. Have you heard?

486
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 8: I haven't.

487
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 9: And there is some chatter about trying to include like

488
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 9: a retroactive bonus for ten k or something like that

489
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 9: as an incentive to keep these folks working while they're

490
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 9: not getting paid, so they may have to do something

491
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 9: like that. I just don't know how you keep expecting

492
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 9: TSA agents months in to show up for work when.

493
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 8: They're not getting paid, Because they got to pay bills.

494
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 9: So the Congress has got to do something about this

495
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 9: because doing an executive order. As you point out, Sky's

496
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 9: going to go to the courts.

497
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,239
Speaker 1: As Jonathan Martin from Politico. J mart we call him

498
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 1: around Washington, d C. You probably read his stuff over

499
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 1: the years, one of the best sourced reporters in America. J.

500
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 1: Mart Let's shift focus and talk a little politics. You

501
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 1: and I had a chance to brief a group down

502
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 1: in Florida this week. Give us your assessment right now

503
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 1: on the Senate and the House as we get ever

504
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 1: closer to the twenty twenty six midterms.

505
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 9: Look, every president, with very few exceptions, has a difficult

506
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 9: time in the first midterm of their presidency, and in

507
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 9: President Trump's case, this is his second term.

508
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 8: But obviously it's a new term here, and I think

509
00:29:58,080 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 8: it's going to be a challenge.

510
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 9: His numbers among Republicans are sky high.

511
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 8: He's got a grip on his party on like any

512
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 8: other modern president.

513
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 9: But there's it's a very different question where he's with

514
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 9: the general elector, and that gap, I think is going

515
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 9: to create a challenge in the general election.

516
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 8: It's Scott as you know.

517
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 9: The other challenge for Republicans is and the Trump here

518
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 9: is getting their voters who love President and Trump to

519
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 9: show up when he's not on top of the ticket.

520
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 9: So you combine the headwinds every president faces the first

521
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 9: midterm with the unique challenge of President Trump not being

522
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 9: able to get his voters out when he's not running,

523
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 9: and I think it's going to be a tough cycle

524
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 9: for Republicans, probably lose the House, and I think the

525
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 9: senatece dowle and jeopardy as well.

526
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's some interesting states out there on the Senate map,

527
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 1: you know, Democrats. I still think it's uphill for Democrats

528
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 1: in the Senate, but a few states are probably a

529
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 1: little dicier than Republicans wanted them to be, chiefly Ohio, Iowa,

530
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 1: and Alaska. And we can talk more about the map

531
00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 1: as the as the year wears on. I got about

532
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 1: a minute left here, j Martin, I want to go

533
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 1: back to our original topic. There's a little bit of

534
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 1: news here coming out of Chuck Schumer. So here's the latest.

535
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 1: As I mentioned the House, Republicans are floating the idea

536
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 1: of passing a sixty day continuing resolution to fully fund DHS,

537
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 1: including immigration enforcement. Now Chuck Schumer is saying a sixty

538
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,959
Speaker 1: day cr that locks in the status quo is quote

539
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 1: dead on arrival in the Senate, and Republicans know it.

540
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 1: So if the House Republicans do this, which it sounds

541
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 1: like they want to do and could probably do, doesn't

542
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,479
Speaker 1: sound like the Senate would come back to town quickly

543
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 1: and pass it, which means we may be in for

544
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 1: a couple of more weeks of nothing here or the

545
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 1: void I suppose. And where that leaves these TSA agents

546
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 1: and other Homeland security workers. I don't quite know, Jamar,

547
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 1: we got thirty seconds. Give you the last word.

548
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 8: Well, you may have to do plans.

549
00:31:56,240 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 9: See, they tried Congress, they tried a Trump executive. They

550
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 9: have to go to play on se Scott, which is,

551
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 9: you know, uncle Elon cuts a big check man and

552
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 9: and it sort of helps all these TSA workers in

553
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 9: the large at least get through the next couple of months. Otherwise,

554
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 9: I'm not sure how you're gonna have TSA workers showing

555
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 9: up if they're not getting paid here.

556
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, these TSA workers and then they make on average

557
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars a year. They have been absolutely used

558
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 1: as political pawns. My opinion by Democrats and they're the

559
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 1: ones suffering, and it's really pretty crappy. What's happening to them?

560
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 1: Jonathan Martin from Politico, Thanks for coming by. We've got

561
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 1: to take a break. When we come back, I guess

562
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 1: there's more No Kings rallies. We'll get some news on

563
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 1: that after this. It's the Scott Jenning Show on Salem.

564
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 6: Stay with us, common Sense for the American people. This

565
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 6: is the Scott Jenning Show. He's the author of the

566
00:32:56,160 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 6: best selling book A Revolution of Common Sense's Scott Jennings.

567
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 1: It's Friday, March twenty seventh. We're tracking the breaking news

568
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 1: out of Washington. The tussle over DHS funding going on

569
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 1: between Republicans and Democrats, and now between the Senate and

570
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 1: the House unfolding as we speak. We'll keep an eye

571
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 1: on the news as it breaks today. And what are

572
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 1: Democrats doing right now? Well, they're planning to have more

573
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 1: No Kings rallies, I think this weekend now. They claim

574
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 1: these No King's Rallies are supposed to be peaceful protests

575
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 1: against the incumbent Trump administration. They say, we have no

576
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 1: desires for violence. That's what they want you to believe. However, however,

577
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 1: recent zoom calls uncovered by Kyle Olsen from townhall dot

578
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 1: com may prove the contrary. And to discuss those calls,

579
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 1: mister Olsen is here, Kyle Olsen from town Hall. Welcome

580
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 1: to the Scott Jennings Show. Tell us you uncovered these

581
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 1: zoom calls. What are they actually saying to each other,

582
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 1: these Democratic organizers behind the scenes, sir.

583
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 10: Yes, well thanks for having me. So they had a

584
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 10: No King's Best Practices shareout on March sixth, and that

585
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 10: intent was to have this national call where they were

586
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 10: going to talk about best practices about how to do rallies.

587
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 10: They call them rallies, but they're protests. And it was

588
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:27,479
Speaker 10: all leading up to the protests No Kings three that's

589
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 10: happening tomorrow. And one of the things that I found

590
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 10: interesting was one of the organizers said, nonviolence is our strategy,

591
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:39,880
Speaker 10: but when you're building coalitions, it's important to not have violence.

592
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 10: And they said even civil disobedience, they're not wanting to

593
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 10: do that. We're not doing that. Indivisible is not doing

594
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:55,800
Speaker 10: that right now. Okay, maybe later, I don't know, depends

595
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 10: on how bad it gets.

596
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,760
Speaker 1: And so they so they're way. So let's it makes sureriters,

597
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 1: they're leaving open the possibility of some kind of something

598
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 1: other than just chanting and yelling, right.

599
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 10: Correct, depends on how bad it gets. So if they

600
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 10: don't like what President Trump is doing, they apparently are

601
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 10: open to violence, and which I think is a very

602
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:24,839
Speaker 10: disturbing thing because this Indivisible is organizing a group called

603
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 10: Indivisible is organizing these No King's protests and they are

604
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 10: really sort of the tip of the spear of the

605
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 10: left when it comes to fighting President Trump and his agenda.

606
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 1: So I have to ask, how did you get access

607
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 1: to these zoom calls, these people who are organizing the

608
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:47,280
Speaker 1: No King's rallies without revealing, of course, the journalistic methods

609
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:50,919
Speaker 1: and sources. How did you get clued into this? Because

610
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,319
Speaker 1: this is some pretty interesting breaking news, the plotting of

611
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:54,879
Speaker 1: violence on the American left here.

612
00:35:56,040 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 10: Well, it's you know, good sourcing. But also it's just

613
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 10: a matter of identifying who the players are, what the

614
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 10: organizations are, and what their real intent is, because of

615
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 10: course it's not just about you know, they just want

616
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,279
Speaker 10: to fight President Trump. They want to win elections. And

617
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 10: so what these organizers will do is they will get

618
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:21,320
Speaker 10: people to come out to the protests, they'll get their names,

619
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 10: phone numbers, all that information, and then they follow up

620
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 10: with them and they turn them into political activists to

621
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 10: ultimately win the midterms later this year.

622
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:35,279
Speaker 1: Something that is interesting to me about all of these

623
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:38,319
Speaker 1: people that seem to have unlimited amounts of time to

624
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,759
Speaker 1: protest and so on and so forth, it strikes me

625
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:45,400
Speaker 1: that there has to be money flowing into this somewhere somehow.

626
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:48,280
Speaker 1: I mean, how else do you explain all these people

627
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:51,240
Speaker 1: with unlimited amounts of time on their hands and access

628
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:54,360
Speaker 1: to materials and so on. Do you have any idea

629
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:57,880
Speaker 1: where this money that's flowing through all of this is

630
00:36:57,920 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 1: coming from.

631
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 8: Well, I think a lot of it is.

632
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:05,279
Speaker 10: I mean, we hear George Soros a lot, but he

633
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 10: certainly he and Open Societies certainly are funding this. You

634
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:12,320
Speaker 10: have Roy Singham, he has been talked about a lot.

635
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 10: He's funding Code Pink and some of the other the

636
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:20,360
Speaker 10: far left groups. They're part of this Indivisible coalition. But

637
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 10: the point is they want to continue doing these because

638
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:26,200
Speaker 10: they've got to try and keep people engaged, They've got

639
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 10: to try and keep the hate for President Trump up,

640
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 10: and so they're trying to do, you know, just one

641
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 10: protest after another. And it's interesting to watch these trainings

642
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 10: because that's what they talk about, is how do we

643
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 10: keep the energy up in order to try and defeat

644
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 10: him and Republicans in November.

645
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 1: All right. The article is entitled Indivisible No King's training

646
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 1: call Anti Trump group not doing violence at this time,

647
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 1: but maybe later. They say. The author is Kyle Olsen,

Speaker 1: best analysis and all of American media, and we are

674
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 1: continuing that tradition and trend. Today. Let me just catch

675
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 1: you up on where we are. In Washington, DC. In

676
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 1: the middle of the night, the United States Senate met

677
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:44,239
Speaker 1: and on a voice vote, passed a funding bill for

678
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:48,000
Speaker 1: the Department of Homeland Security. Roughly, here's what they did.

679
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 1: They voted to fund all of the Department of Homeland Security,

680
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 1: including TSA, which has been the big dominant story at

681
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 1: our airports that happened. What they did not do is

682
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 1: fun ice and they did not fund Customs and border patrols,

683
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:07,480
Speaker 1: so they took out the immigration enforcement piece and they

684
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:11,760
Speaker 1: funded everything else, which is TSA, the Coastguard, FEMA, et cetera,

685
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 1: et cetera. So that happened on a voice vote in

686
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:16,719
Speaker 1: the middle of the night. They did not take a

687
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 1: recorded vote, interestingly, but they did do a voice vote.

688
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 1: They passed it, and then the Senate immediately adjourned. They

689
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 1: went into a two week recess. It's planned. It's called

690
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 1: the Easter recess. This is what's called jamming the House

691
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:35,879
Speaker 1: because what they did here is past something that now

692
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 1: has to go back to the House and that has

693
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:42,840
Speaker 1: to get approved. Here's the problem. Everything I am seeing,

694
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:46,840
Speaker 1: everything I am reading right now tells me that the

695
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 1: House Republicans, who are in the majority, it's the majority,

696
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:53,920
Speaker 1: but in the majority, they are not They are not

697
00:40:54,160 --> 00:41:00,879
Speaker 1: interested in ratifying what the Senate did last night. So

698
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 1: the situation is the Department of Homeland Security remains unfunded

699
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:11,799
Speaker 1: today and we are awaiting what Speaker Johnson is going

700
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:14,000
Speaker 1: to say. He has been on a conference call with

701
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:17,359
Speaker 1: the House Republicans for the last two hours or so

702
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:21,480
Speaker 1: and they have been sorting it out amongst themselves. It's

703
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 1: my understanding. By the way, we're expecting and hoping to

704
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:27,240
Speaker 1: hear from the Speaker during this hour of the Scott

705
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:29,480
Speaker 1: Jennings Show, and as soon as he can call us,

706
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:31,399
Speaker 1: he's going to and we'll put him right on the air.

707
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:33,839
Speaker 1: We will put him right on the air. But we're

708
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 1: waiting to hear from the Speaker. In fact, what I'm

709
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 1: being told right now by his office, this is coming

710
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 1: into the show as we speak, as they've wrapped up

711
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 1: this conference call. He is going to take a couple

712
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:46,840
Speaker 1: of questions from the media that is assembled in the hallway,

713
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:48,239
Speaker 1: and then he's going to give us a call. So

714
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:50,359
Speaker 1: as soon as he calls in, we're going to put

715
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 1: the speaker on the air. Here's what I'm hearing. House

716
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 1: Republicans will not ratify what the Senate did. And there

717
00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 1: is a plan being kicked around where they want to

718
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 1: pass a city six day clean continuing resolution keep it

719
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:06,920
Speaker 1: going as is that would fund everything, including ice and

720
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:10,839
Speaker 1: including customs and border patrol. Here's the problem with that.

721
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 1: Over in the Senate. The Democrats, through Chuck Schumer, their leader,

722
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:18,400
Speaker 1: have said that is dead on arrival. So if the

723
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:21,640
Speaker 1: House were today or over the weekend to do their plan,

724
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:25,440
Speaker 1: the sixty day plan. It's not going to pass the Senate,

725
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 1: which likely means that the majority leader, John Thune would

726
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:33,799
Speaker 1: not call the Senate back into session to just sit

727
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:37,280
Speaker 1: around and vote down something that has no chance of passing.

728
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 1: So where would that leave the Department of Homeland Security?

729
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 1: OL would leave it unfunded? To be honest, where does

730
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 1: that leave the TSA, Well, it leaves the TSA in

731
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:51,960
Speaker 1: limbo for their part. Last night, President Trump said he

732
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:56,759
Speaker 1: is declaring a national emergency and he is directing the

733
00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 1: Secretary of Homeland Security, which is now Mark Wayne Mullen

734
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 1: previously in the Senate. He is directing Mullen to pay

735
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 1: TSA agents through the authority of a national emergency. Now.

736
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:14,360
Speaker 1: I think they're supposed to get a paycheck today. It

737
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:16,560
Speaker 1: is not clear to me whether they've gone ahead and

738
00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:19,200
Speaker 1: process that. I don't know the answer to that. I

739
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 1: haven't seen that reported, but as we sit here, I'm

740
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:27,799
Speaker 1: not entirely sure. However, However, if they do try to

741
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:30,480
Speaker 1: do this, I assume someone out there is going to

742
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 1: legally challenge it and say it's not constitutional or it's

743
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:37,319
Speaker 1: not illegal, because there's been no money appropriated so we'll

744
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:40,360
Speaker 1: have to see how that plays out. So what's hanging

745
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:43,440
Speaker 1: in the balance here? You have TSA agents who make

746
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:47,279
Speaker 1: an average of about fifty thousand dollars a year who

747
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 1: are being asked to come to work and not get

748
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:52,880
Speaker 1: a paycheck. Today, they'll be missing paycheck number three. In fact,

749
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 1: I'm going to play this TSA agent who's talking about

750
00:43:56,920 --> 00:44:00,319
Speaker 1: on the news having to get a second job. Let's

751
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:01,320
Speaker 1: listen to cut fourteen.

752
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:05,920
Speaker 9: At what point did you realize you needed a second job?

753
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 6: Yeah?

754
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:12,120
Speaker 4: I actually got my second job after the first shutdown

755
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 4: that happens last fall. Fortunately I was able to make

756
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 4: things happen with the scheduling. But even then, you know,

757
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:24,520
Speaker 4: trying to manage full time schooling. I'm doing flight training right.

758
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 12: Now locally, and so again it's just a lot of juggling,

759
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 12: a lot of rearranging those payments that are due in

760
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:36,399
Speaker 12: our day to day lives.

761
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:41,440
Speaker 1: That TSA agent was talking to Wolf Blitzer on CNN.

762
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 1: So what's happening is these TSA agents are having to

763
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:48,040
Speaker 1: take second jobs. They're calling out six over five hundred

764
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:50,279
Speaker 1: have quit all together because they have to go make

765
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 1: ends meet some other way. This, of course is leading

766
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 1: to short staffing at airports which is causing major lines.

767
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:58,360
Speaker 1: And we've been covering this for a couple of weeks.

768
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:01,000
Speaker 1: Now the President sent ice to the airports. That appears

769
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 1: to be helping somewhat, but it's not as good, frankly

770
00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 1: as just having a fully funded and fully staffed TSA

771
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 1: on duty. We do have a little bit of sound

772
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:11,799
Speaker 1: coming in here from a member of the House. His

773
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 1: name is Eric Burlison. He represents the seventh district of Missouri.

774
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:20,080
Speaker 1: He is a member of the House Freedom Caucus. So

775
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:22,719
Speaker 1: these are the conservatives in the House, the Freedom Caucus.

776
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:29,160
Speaker 1: Burlison made these comments just a few actually, let's table that.

777
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:31,839
Speaker 1: We now have a live interview with Congressman Russell Fry

778
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 1: of South Carolina. Russell, thanks for calling in. I know

779
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:37,840
Speaker 1: you've just been on the phone with the Speaker and

780
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:40,319
Speaker 1: the rest of the House conference. Russell, I'm just gonna

781
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:42,760
Speaker 1: hit you cold. What's the mood in the House about

782
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 1: what the Senate did last night?

783
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:46,799
Speaker 13: I think pretty poor. I mean, like in the middle

784
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:48,680
Speaker 13: of the nine these guys, like five of them were

785
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:51,040
Speaker 13: on the floor and pass this thing under Yananimo's consent.

786
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:53,560
Speaker 13: I mean, you take the President's biggest agenda item that

787
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:55,640
Speaker 13: he ran on that he won on, which is securing

788
00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:57,360
Speaker 13: the border and making sure that we're taking care of

789
00:45:57,400 --> 00:46:00,960
Speaker 13: our you know, border patrol, our ice agents. And we

790
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:04,960
Speaker 13: advocate that we kick the can down the road. Sure, yeah,

791
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:08,319
Speaker 13: there's you know, funding for all the other purposes here.

792
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:12,440
Speaker 13: But they at the end result it completely deviated from

793
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:15,879
Speaker 13: where the House's position has been along, which is this

794
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:18,840
Speaker 13: bill originally. And I want to reverse this for your listeners.

795
00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:22,400
Speaker 13: This bill was pre negotiated with with House and Senate

796
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:25,600
Speaker 13: Republican and Democrat leadership. It was ready for prime time.

797
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:29,319
Speaker 13: And then the Democrats reverse course, you know, after what

798
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 13: happened in Minnesota and started like demonizing Ice, continuing this demonization,

799
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:37,799
Speaker 13: and you know, so they keep moving the goalposts. And

800
00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:39,880
Speaker 13: so to see what the Senate did. I think the

801
00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:42,839
Speaker 13: America people want some intestinal fortitude, right, They want their

802
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:46,440
Speaker 13: senators to lead, They want them to you know, tire this.

803
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:48,640
Speaker 13: I hear from people back home all the time, and

804
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:51,680
Speaker 13: they're like, stand strong, stay with the president, make sure

805
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 13: you're advocating for ice. It is a very bad precedent

806
00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:59,600
Speaker 13: to come into say Homeland securities budget and take a

807
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:02,319
Speaker 13: couple line items that you don't like on ice or

808
00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:05,440
Speaker 13: anything else and just zero them out. And that's kind

809
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:07,799
Speaker 13: of what the Senate has done. So it's a little

810
00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:11,239
Speaker 13: frustrating right now that you know we're at odds with

811
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:15,440
Speaker 13: our Senate counterparts. But the message from us is at

812
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:17,320
Speaker 13: least for me and the people that I represent, is

813
00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:20,160
Speaker 13: clear is I'm not going to take what the Senate did.

814
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:22,200
Speaker 13: They can get on a plane and go home. We

815
00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:24,839
Speaker 13: will stay here and do the responsible thing to get

816
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:28,239
Speaker 13: our government back open. But that includes making sure that

817
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:30,560
Speaker 13: we're taking care of ice and border patrol.

818
00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:34,439
Speaker 1: All right, that voice you're hearing Congressman Russell Fry, friend

819
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:37,959
Speaker 1: of the show, representing South Carolina. Russell, would you mind

820

Speaker 1: after Pain of the Week this week is the pain

845
00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:08,400
Speaker 1: being felt by American travelers all across the country who

846
00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:12,440
Speaker 1: are going to airports and facing long lines because of

847
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:17,640
Speaker 1: the back and forth between Republicans and Democrats overfunding DHS

848
00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:21,600
Speaker 1: and therefore the Transportation Safety Administration on the line with

849
00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:24,280
Speaker 1: me right now is part of our breaking news coverage

850
00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 1: and now incorporated into our Pain of the Week coverage

851
00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:32,000
Speaker 1: is Russell Fry, our friend and congressman from South Carolina. Russell.

852
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:34,880
Speaker 1: They say there's two parties in Washington, the House and

853
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:37,960
Speaker 1: the Senate, and I think we're experiencing that today. The

854
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:41,399
Speaker 1: Senate overnight passed a on a voice vote to build

855
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:43,920
Speaker 1: a fund DHS, but not ICE and not Customs and

856
00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:46,800
Speaker 1: Border Patrol. You've been on the phone with your House

857
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:50,800
Speaker 1: Republican colleagues for the last little bit, and it sounds

858
00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:53,360
Speaker 1: like that's not going to fly in the House a

859
00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:56,160
Speaker 1: kind of a I'm interested in what was going on

860
00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:58,120
Speaker 1: on this call you guys get on the phone. I

861
00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:02,319
Speaker 1: assume people are just livid about being jammed by the

862
00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:05,200
Speaker 1: Senate on this and in a way that they're trying

863
00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:07,600
Speaker 1: to force you to vote for something here it's really

864
00:50:07,640 --> 00:50:10,879
Speaker 1: not in accordance with what the Republican Party wants, which

865
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:14,200
Speaker 1: is to continue to fund our border security.

866
00:50:14,280 --> 00:50:14,480
Speaker 8: Right.

867
00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:17,920
Speaker 13: Yeah, it's one hundred percent correct. And so it's a

868
00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:20,439
Speaker 13: little bit perplexing to me that we're, you know, day

869
00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:22,520
Speaker 13: fifty of a shutdown or whatever it is. It's like

870
00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:27,040
Speaker 13: forty some odd days that Republicans keeps trying to say

871
00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:28,960
Speaker 13: that they're you know, doing this, but in the dead

872
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:31,360
Speaker 13: of the night, there's five people that do a unanimous

873
00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:35,040
Speaker 13: consent request bipartisan. Most people at that time are sleeping

874
00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:37,479
Speaker 13: or should be, you know, and this thing sales through.

875
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:39,919
Speaker 13: Senators skip town. They're out of here thinking that they've

876
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:43,680
Speaker 13: done their job. But in the meantime, you know, we have.

877
00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:44,279
Speaker 2: Kind of this.

878
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:46,680
Speaker 13: You know, if you saw this week, the President said,

879
00:50:46,680 --> 00:50:48,319
Speaker 13: we're going to do something. We're going to help ICE,

880
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:50,560
Speaker 13: We're going to fix it. We're going to well well

881
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:54,080
Speaker 13: or not ice, t TSA. We're going to make sure

882
00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:57,160
Speaker 13: that these guys are paid. So he was shifting around funding.

883
00:50:57,239 --> 00:50:59,080
Speaker 13: We know that they're going to you know, the president's

884
00:50:59,080 --> 00:51:01,319
Speaker 13: working on making sure that he's delivering for them to

885
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:03,360
Speaker 13: make sure that they can come to work and be

886
00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:06,239
Speaker 13: part of it, because they're really struggling too write and

887
00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:09,279
Speaker 13: so the Senate, you know, the pressure was off the

888
00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:12,000
Speaker 13: Senate a little bit like keep pushing it, but like

889
00:51:12,080 --> 00:51:15,200
Speaker 13: the pressure was off because TSA and the airport lines

890
00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:17,200
Speaker 13: were the biggest thing, and in the middle of the

891
00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:20,400
Speaker 13: night they passed this thing. But they omit, They completely omit.

892
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:26,239
Speaker 13: Homeland or border patrol and and our ice agents and

893
00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:30,640
Speaker 13: that when you talk about human trafficking investigations. These are

894
00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:33,640
Speaker 13: some of the things that were omitted from their product.

895
00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:37,120
Speaker 13: And so they take this Democrat product. You know, it's

896
00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:40,680
Speaker 13: not it's not conservative. Yes, it doesn't have any of

897
00:51:40,719 --> 00:51:44,800
Speaker 13: the demands that the Democrats made on you know, removing

898
00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:48,200
Speaker 13: masks from the ice agents, things like that, but it

899
00:51:48,239 --> 00:51:50,840
Speaker 13: doesn't actually do anything else. It doesn't fund them, it

900
00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:54,279
Speaker 13: doesn't continue what the President has made is one of

901
00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:57,040
Speaker 13: his key signature items. And it really was like it

902
00:51:57,440 --> 00:52:00,319
Speaker 13: was just flatly irresponsible to do this on a fry.

903
00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:02,799
Speaker 13: I'm happy to work all through the weekend to get

904
00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:04,680
Speaker 13: the job done, but I just want to feel like

905
00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:06,480
Speaker 13: that we're holding the line a little bit in the Senate,

906
00:52:06,520 --> 00:52:08,040
Speaker 13: and it just doesn't appear like we did.

907
00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:12,440
Speaker 1: I mean to me, the real issue here, and we

908
00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:17,320
Speaker 1: cannot say this enough, is that Democrats have basically said

909
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:23,040
Speaker 1: their party's policy is no immigration enforcement at all. They

910
00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:26,040
Speaker 1: don't want any funding for immigration enforcement. They don't want

911
00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:29,399
Speaker 1: our laws enforced, they don't want people deported, even these

912
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:33,799
Speaker 1: violent aliens like the fellow the Venezuelan in Chicago who

913
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:36,040
Speaker 1: killed this poor eighteen year old girl at the University

914
00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:39,840
Speaker 1: of Iola, Chicago. They don't want to deport anybody, Russell,

915
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:44,319
Speaker 1: and they don't. It's nuts to me. We've got one

916
00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:48,080
Speaker 1: of our two major political parties that their number one

917
00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:52,520
Speaker 1: constituency is illegal aliens, including violent criminal illegal aliens, and

918
00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:55,279
Speaker 1: they are willing to wreak havoc on our government and

919
00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:59,520
Speaker 1: on our airports because of that. Russell Fry is Congressman

920
00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:02,279
Speaker 1: from South Carolina. I got about ten seconds here. It's

921
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:06,080
Speaker 1: spring break season, brother, you represent Myrtle Beach. Are you

922
00:53:06,120 --> 00:53:08,040
Speaker 1: worried about the airport there? I know I would be.

923
00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:09,840
Speaker 1: I mean it's got a lot of folks coming in

924
00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:10,239
Speaker 1: and out.

925
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:11,520
Speaker 3: Yeah.

926
00:53:11,560 --> 00:53:14,680
Speaker 13: Absolutely, But I'll tell you I thought those PSA agents

927
00:53:14,719 --> 00:53:18,600
Speaker 13: routinely they are complete warriors. They're really home down the floor,

928
00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:21,200
Speaker 13: they're showing up. I mean, they're ready to be paid.

929
00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:24,000
Speaker 13: But you know, I think all the airports around the

930
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:25,600
Speaker 13: country are really struggling right now. But we need to

931
00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:27,520
Speaker 13: do a responsible thing in Congress and do.

932
00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:28,239
Speaker 2: It the right way.

933
00:53:29,040 --> 00:53:29,200
Speaker 13: Yeah.

934
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:31,560
Speaker 1: I couldn't agree with you more. That's Russell Fry. Thanks

935
00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:35,399
Speaker 1: for calling in, Congressman from South Carolina, and we are

936
00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:38,279
Speaker 1: going to get more on this breaking news. After this

937
00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:42,440
Speaker 1: commercial break, I am told the Speaker is likely ready.

938
00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:44,439
Speaker 1: So here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna take a break,

939
00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:47,160
Speaker 1: and hopefully when we come back, the Speaker of the House,

940
00:53:47,239 --> 00:53:49,680
Speaker 1: Mike Johnson will be here to lay out the full

941
00:53:49,719 --> 00:53:52,680
Speaker 1: position of the House Republicans right after this. It's Scott

942
00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:56,040
Speaker 1: Jennings on Salem. Don't miss this conversation. Stay with us.

943
00:53:56,600 --> 00:53:59,200
Speaker 2: That their relief factor pain of.

944
00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:03,280
Speaker 1: The and we're in breaking news coverage here on Friday,

945
00:54:03,320 --> 00:54:06,280
Speaker 1: March twenty seventh. It's common sense for the American people.

946
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:10,000
Speaker 1: Scott Jennings on Salem, and let me bring you up

947
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:12,200
Speaker 1: to speed on this news. In the middle of the night,

948
00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:15,040
Speaker 1: the Senate, on a voice vote passed a bill to

949
00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:18,120
Speaker 1: fund some of the Department of Homeland Security, but not

950
00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:20,719
Speaker 1: all of it. And what they did not fund was

951
00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:24,840
Speaker 1: Immigration Enforcement, ICE, Customs and Border patrol. They would not

952
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:27,759
Speaker 1: do it, and they passed this bill and they left

953
00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:30,800
Speaker 1: town and the Senate has gone on recess. As you

954
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:33,400
Speaker 1: might imagine, this is not going over well among the

955
00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:37,080
Speaker 1: House Republicans. And here to talk about the position of

956
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:40,800
Speaker 1: the House Republican conference is the Speaker of the House

957
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:45,600
Speaker 1: Mike Johnson of Louisiana joins US Live. Mister speaker, thank you.

958
00:54:45,600 --> 00:54:48,440
Speaker 1: You've been on the phone with your members, the majority

959
00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:51,480
Speaker 1: of Republican conference over the last couple of hours. Tell

960
00:54:51,560 --> 00:54:53,720
Speaker 1: us what's the mood and what's going to happen next.

961
00:54:55,440 --> 00:54:56,160
Speaker 8: Scott. Thanks.

962
00:54:56,200 --> 00:54:59,160
Speaker 3: We're outraged. I mean, I just did a press conference

963
00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:01,440
Speaker 3: here on the Hill, and I'm glad to come on

964
00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:04,200
Speaker 3: the show immediately after that to give your listeners the

965
00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:08,400
Speaker 3: down low. We are furious. I mean, I think that

966
00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:10,399
Speaker 3: came through in the press conference just now. I don't

967
00:55:10,400 --> 00:55:10,840
Speaker 3: know how.

968
00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:11,839
Speaker 13: To say it.

969
00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:15,480
Speaker 3: I began the comments today by saying, let me be

970
00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:20,600
Speaker 3: absolutely crystal clear, under no circumstances, our House Republican is

971
00:55:20,640 --> 00:55:23,440
Speaker 3: going to be a part of anything that defunds border

972
00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:28,040
Speaker 3: security and immigration enforcement or reopens our border. Scott. That's

973
00:55:28,120 --> 00:55:31,719
Speaker 3: exactly what the bill last night does. Literally in the

974
00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:34,759
Speaker 3: bill itself, I read at the press conference at page two,

975
00:55:35,320 --> 00:55:39,360
Speaker 3: under this section four that's called explanatory statement, it says, literally,

976
00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:42,880
Speaker 3: I read the bill that all of US immigration and

977
00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:47,040
Speaker 3: Customs enforcement, border security operations, and everything under the heading

978
00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:50,239
Speaker 3: of US Customs and Border Protection quote shall have no

979
00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:54,440
Speaker 3: force or effect for purposes of this Act and amounts

980
00:55:54,480 --> 00:56:00,720
Speaker 3: to in the final bill an appropriation of exactly zero

981
00:56:01,040 --> 00:56:02,640
Speaker 3: dollars in the bill.

982
00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:03,760
Speaker 13: I can't believe.

983
00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:07,560
Speaker 3: I can't believe that our conservative Senate friends in the

984
00:56:07,560 --> 00:56:13,160
Speaker 3: Senate had a chance to At almost to thirty.

985
00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:15,680
Speaker 1: In the morning, we're talking.

986
00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:18,040
Speaker 3: We're go ahead, go ahead, Scott.

987
00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:20,160
Speaker 1: Yes, sorry, sorry, mister speaker, we were having a little

988
00:56:20,160 --> 00:56:22,560
Speaker 1: trouble with your connection. This is how speaker, Mike Johnson.

989
00:56:22,560 --> 00:56:24,920
Speaker 1: So you're reading to us from the bill the Senate passed.

990
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:27,400
Speaker 1: It's obviously dead on arrival in the House, and I

991
00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:30,120
Speaker 1: can tell how angry you are on behalf of your members.

992
00:56:30,160 --> 00:56:32,520
Speaker 1: So what do you plan to do? The House is

993
00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:34,759
Speaker 1: still in session. Are you going to pass something over

994
00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:37,080
Speaker 1: the weekend here and kick it back to the Senate.

995
00:56:38,840 --> 00:56:41,719
Speaker 3: Yes, we're going to pass, hopefully by tonight or at

996
00:56:41,719 --> 00:56:44,680
Speaker 3: the latest by tomorrow morning, as soon as procedurally we

997
00:56:44,680 --> 00:56:47,080
Speaker 3: can get this done. We're going to pass a clean

998
00:56:47,239 --> 00:56:51,560
Speaker 3: continuing resolution that will get us to mid May, about

999
00:56:51,560 --> 00:56:54,120
Speaker 3: eight weeks or so, and that will allow all of

1000
00:56:54,160 --> 00:56:57,279
Speaker 3: those who sacrificially serve our country to keep the nation

1001
00:56:57,440 --> 00:57:01,600
Speaker 3: safe get their paychecks. Scott, USA agents have not been

1002
00:57:01,680 --> 00:57:05,040
Speaker 3: paid for half of this fiscal year. Already they've gone

1003
00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:08,080
Speaker 3: without regular paychecks. It's forty two days they've been working

1004
00:57:08,080 --> 00:57:11,040
Speaker 3: without pay. This is the second longest shutdown in US history.

1005
00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:13,879
Speaker 3: And everybody listening to the sounds of our voices needs

1006
00:57:13,880 --> 00:57:17,400
Speaker 3: to ask themselves why why would Democrats do this? It

1007
00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:20,720
Speaker 3: is very simple. What they want to do is defund

1008
00:57:20,920 --> 00:57:23,720
Speaker 3: the two agencies of the federal government. They keep the

1009
00:57:23,760 --> 00:57:27,360
Speaker 3: borders closed and secure, and who go out and enforce

1010
00:57:27,640 --> 00:57:32,040
Speaker 3: immigration law. They don't want criminal illegal aliens who got

1011
00:57:32,040 --> 00:57:35,120
Speaker 3: into this country under Joe Biden deported from the country.

1012
00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:37,880
Speaker 3: And you see the terrible effects that has happened from this.

1013
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:41,440
Speaker 3: In the last few days, we've had innocent Americans murdered

1014
00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:44,480
Speaker 3: by criminal illegal aliens who are released onto the streets

1015
00:57:44,520 --> 00:57:48,640
Speaker 3: by Democrats in sanctuary city blue cities and over that

1016
00:57:48,680 --> 00:57:51,440
Speaker 3: wide open border under Biden. We can't allow for this.

1017
00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:54,920
Speaker 3: The most basic function of government to protecting its citizens,

1018
00:57:55,160 --> 00:57:56,320
Speaker 3: and Democrats don't want to.

1019
00:57:56,320 --> 00:58:00,160
Speaker 1: Do that, mister speaker. As a procedural matter, are you

1020
00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:03,360
Speaker 1: bound to have to vote on what the Senate did

1021
00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:05,760
Speaker 1: overnight or can you just throw that in the garbage

1022
00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:08,760
Speaker 1: and go straight to your sixty day clean cr plan.

1023
00:58:09,840 --> 00:58:12,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're rejecting it. It goes straight to the shredder where

1024
00:58:12,240 --> 00:58:15,480
Speaker 3: it belongs, and we're going to send instead a continuing

1025
00:58:15,560 --> 00:58:19,120
Speaker 3: resolution that just goes for that number of weeks.

1026
00:58:19,200 --> 00:58:19,600
Speaker 2: Eight weeks.

1027
00:58:19,600 --> 00:58:22,800
Speaker 3: Now we pay. We can continue negotiations with Democrats if

1028
00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:24,440
Speaker 3: they want to be in good faith, which they're not

1029
00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:27,600
Speaker 3: over that period of time. But right now and in

1030
00:58:27,640 --> 00:58:30,040
Speaker 3: that interim period, you've got to make sure that people

1031
00:58:30,280 --> 00:58:32,560
Speaker 3: are paid now. Look, I want to hasten to say

1032
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:35,240
Speaker 3: so grateful to President Trump. I've talked to him twice

1033
00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:38,360
Speaker 3: already this morning. He signed an executive order to get

1034
00:58:38,400 --> 00:58:41,600
Speaker 3: all those TSA agents in the airport's paid right now.

1035
00:58:41,640 --> 00:58:43,840
Speaker 3: I mean that's happening right now. The Office of Management

1036
00:58:43,840 --> 00:58:47,960
Speaker 3: Budget is processing paychecks right now. He has he heroically

1037
00:58:48,160 --> 00:58:51,240
Speaker 3: stood forward and shown leadership as always, and we're doing

1038
00:58:51,280 --> 00:58:53,120
Speaker 3: our part to lead in the House. I have to

1039
00:58:53,120 --> 00:58:55,800
Speaker 3: defend the House. I have to defend the safety of

1040
00:58:55,800 --> 00:58:58,320
Speaker 3: the American people, and this is the only way that

1041
00:58:58,400 --> 00:59:00,880
Speaker 3: we have to do this against these and agains by

1042
00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:02,000
Speaker 3: the Senate Democrats.

1043
00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:05,640
Speaker 1: That's a little news to me about the payments going

1044
00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:08,200
Speaker 1: out today. And I was wondering how long it would

1045
00:59:08,200 --> 00:59:10,920
Speaker 1: take to process this. So yesterday the President signed an

1046
00:59:10,960 --> 00:59:15,640
Speaker 1: executive order declaring a national emergency and instructing Secretary Mullen

1047
00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:19,320
Speaker 1: at DHS to pay the TSA. So you're saying, your

1048
00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:22,680
Speaker 1: understanding is that processing is occurring as we speak.

1049
00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:24,120
Speaker 8: It is.

1050
00:59:24,240 --> 00:59:26,680
Speaker 3: It is happening now, and that's going to help alleviate

1051
00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:30,240
Speaker 3: the pressure at the airports and get the lines down again,

1052
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:32,720
Speaker 3: because we'll get the people who in charge of all

1053
00:59:32,720 --> 00:59:36,760
Speaker 3: that paid as they should be. And it is so

1054
00:59:37,040 --> 00:59:40,400
Speaker 3: infuriating to us got that Democrats are willing to use

1055
00:59:40,440 --> 00:59:43,240
Speaker 3: the American people as pawns. They don't care. They just

1056
00:59:43,280 --> 00:59:46,680
Speaker 3: don't care. In their quest to open the borders wide

1057
00:59:47,080 --> 00:59:49,600
Speaker 3: and to keep all these dangerous illegals in the country,

1058
00:59:49,960 --> 00:59:52,240
Speaker 3: they will harm American citizens to do it. I mean,

1059
00:59:52,320 --> 00:59:54,880
Speaker 3: they've just demonstrated it over and over. Yesterday we had

1060
00:59:54,880 --> 00:59:58,320
Speaker 3: a vote to fund Department Homeland Security, the entire department

1061
00:59:58,360 --> 01:00:02,160
Speaker 3: again for the third time. We only got four House

1062
01:00:02,200 --> 01:00:04,760
Speaker 3: Democrats to vote with the Republicans on that. They just

1063
01:00:04,760 --> 01:00:07,000
Speaker 3: don't care. They're playing a political game and it's dangerous.

1064
01:00:07,680 --> 01:00:09,800
Speaker 1: Mister speaker, you said you've spoken with the President a

1065
01:00:09,840 --> 01:00:12,840
Speaker 1: couple of times. What was his reaction to hearing the

1066
01:00:12,880 --> 01:00:17,120
Speaker 1: news about the Senate voice vote. Is he as angry

1067
01:00:17,200 --> 01:00:19,000
Speaker 1: as you and your members are, or how is he

1068
01:00:19,120 --> 01:00:20,520
Speaker 1: processing the news today?

1069
01:00:21,600 --> 01:00:24,840
Speaker 3: He and I are share the same emotion as all

1070
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:27,720
Speaker 3: Republicans here do. When we were met with the news

1071
01:00:27,960 --> 01:00:30,720
Speaker 3: that they would not fund we would provide zero dollars

1072
01:00:30,720 --> 01:00:33,560
Speaker 3: of funding for border security, I mean, it's insane, and

1073
01:00:33,600 --> 01:00:35,800
Speaker 3: he said, we can't do this. I said, you're absolutely right,

1074
01:00:35,840 --> 01:00:37,600
Speaker 3: mister President. We're going to have to stick together on this.

1075
01:00:38,120 --> 01:00:39,920
Speaker 3: We'll send this the R over to the Senate, and

1076
01:00:39,960 --> 01:00:43,640
Speaker 3: what can happen if sanity prevails is that they will

1077
01:00:43,680 --> 01:00:46,320
Speaker 3: just you see that unanimous consent that's the procedure in

1078
01:00:46,360 --> 01:00:49,919
Speaker 3: the Senate, and just accept the continued resolution. We didn't

1079
01:00:49,960 --> 01:00:54,480
Speaker 3: put any partisan priorities or politics in there, no dirty tricks, nothing.

1080
01:00:54,520 --> 01:00:58,320
Speaker 3: It's just a clean continuing resolution for a matter of

1081
01:00:58,360 --> 01:01:00,720
Speaker 3: about eight weeks. So we can make sure that while

1082
01:01:00,720 --> 01:01:03,600
Speaker 3: the politicians in Washington are debating over all these policies,

1083
01:01:03,640 --> 01:01:06,520
Speaker 3: real people aren't getting hurt in the process. Real simple stuff.

1084
01:01:06,640 --> 01:01:09,000
Speaker 3: This is. You know, we talked about Scott when we

1085
01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:12,560
Speaker 3: were together a couple of weeks ago. The upcoming election

1086
01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:16,520
Speaker 3: is a contrast for America, it's a contrast between common

1087
01:01:16,560 --> 01:01:20,000
Speaker 3: sense and crazy, and the Democrats on Capitol will give

1088
01:01:20,080 --> 01:01:22,600
Speaker 3: us new illustrations every single day about how crazy they

1089
01:01:22,600 --> 01:01:23,040
Speaker 3: really are.

1090
01:01:23,960 --> 01:01:26,640
Speaker 1: Well, in a continuation of that posture and attitude, I

1091
01:01:26,680 --> 01:01:29,080
Speaker 1: will read to you in case it hasn't been brought

1092
01:01:29,080 --> 01:01:33,400
Speaker 1: to your attention yet, the statement from Chuck Schumer. He says,

1093
01:01:33,480 --> 01:01:36,480
Speaker 1: a sixty day cr that locks in the status quo

1094
01:01:36,640 --> 01:01:39,360
Speaker 1: is dead on arrival in the Senate. And so while

1095
01:01:39,360 --> 01:01:42,040
Speaker 1: you all are going to fund the Department of Homeland

1096
01:01:42,080 --> 01:01:46,440
Speaker 1: Security this weekend, Chuck Schumer says no, So not an

1097
01:01:46,480 --> 01:01:49,560
Speaker 1: unexpected posture from him. I don't think. My question really

1098
01:01:49,640 --> 01:01:53,760
Speaker 1: is what are you hearing from your Republican leadership counterparts

1099
01:01:53,760 --> 01:01:56,400
Speaker 1: in the Senate? Senator Thuns, Senator Barasso. Are you all

1100
01:01:56,440 --> 01:01:58,520
Speaker 1: in communication yet or not yet?

1101
01:02:00,120 --> 01:02:00,400
Speaker 8: Haven't?

1102
01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:02,040
Speaker 3: I mean, this all happened in the wee hours of

1103
01:02:02,080 --> 01:02:04,280
Speaker 3: the morning, and you know, I didn't get a lot

1104
01:02:04,280 --> 01:02:08,040
Speaker 3: of sleep last night. But Leader Fein and I exchanged

1105
01:02:08,040 --> 01:02:10,080
Speaker 3: the one text message in the midst of it. They

1106
01:02:10,160 --> 01:02:13,240
Speaker 3: kind of made this decision, you know, under duress and

1107
01:02:13,400 --> 01:02:14,720
Speaker 3: late in the middle of the night, and there wasn't

1108
01:02:14,760 --> 01:02:17,720
Speaker 3: a lot of coordination between the parties. Look, I'm not

1109
01:02:17,920 --> 01:02:20,480
Speaker 3: placing blame in the lap of Leader Thun because he

1110
01:02:20,560 --> 01:02:23,280
Speaker 3: has a very difficult job over there. Is this blame

1111
01:02:23,600 --> 01:02:27,200
Speaker 3: solely lies with the Democrats in Congress, who are playing games.

1112
01:02:27,240 --> 01:02:29,600
Speaker 3: The problem in the Senate is we only have fifty

1113
01:02:29,640 --> 01:02:32,360
Speaker 3: three Republicans there and as you know, under the rules,

1114
01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:36,400
Speaker 3: they need sixty votes to move most everything. You know

1115
01:02:36,440 --> 01:02:38,640
Speaker 3: that the Democrats decided they would just take the American

1116
01:02:38,640 --> 01:02:41,600
Speaker 3: people hostage, and that's what's happened here. But we cannot

1117
01:02:41,640 --> 01:02:45,120
Speaker 3: go along with it. We cannot negotiate the legislative terrorists.

1118
01:02:45,240 --> 01:02:48,080
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, that's what it is. And under

1119
01:02:48,120 --> 01:02:51,320
Speaker 3: these circumstances, if we were to eat this terrible mess

1120
01:02:51,320 --> 01:02:53,600
Speaker 3: that they sent over to us today, it would be

1121
01:02:53,640 --> 01:02:57,360
Speaker 3: the equivalent of them shooting the hostage and keeping the ransom,

1122
01:02:57,440 --> 01:02:59,919
Speaker 3: and they would set a terrible precedent and they would

1123
01:03:00,160 --> 01:03:03,840
Speaker 3: not fund border security and immigration enforcement. We just can't

1124
01:03:03,840 --> 01:03:04,440
Speaker 3: be a part of that.

1125
01:03:05,240 --> 01:03:07,400
Speaker 1: That's the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson. He's been

1126
01:03:07,440 --> 01:03:09,800
Speaker 1: on the phone with members of the House Republican conference

1127
01:03:09,840 --> 01:03:11,600
Speaker 1: this morning. He just spoke to the press and the

1128
01:03:11,600 --> 01:03:15,440
Speaker 1: Capitol and the response from Republicans is we're not going

1129
01:03:15,520 --> 01:03:18,680
Speaker 1: to accept what the Senate did overnight. And so, mister Speaker,

1130
01:03:18,760 --> 01:03:21,120
Speaker 1: you all are going to go back into session tonight

1131
01:03:21,280 --> 01:03:25,600
Speaker 1: and possibly tonight maybe tomorrow, send back a sixty day

1132
01:03:25,800 --> 01:03:29,760
Speaker 1: clean cr that fully funds the Department of Homeland Security.

1133
01:03:29,840 --> 01:03:33,680
Speaker 1: Do you expect to get full votes from the House Republicans?

1134
01:03:33,720 --> 01:03:36,240
Speaker 1: Will you get every single vote in the conference on that?

1135
01:03:36,360 --> 01:03:38,720
Speaker 1: And will you might attract a couple of Democrats to that.

1136
01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:42,440
Speaker 3: I believe Republicans will all stick together. We had a

1137
01:03:42,440 --> 01:03:45,160
Speaker 3: long talk about that this morning, and you know, we

1138
01:03:45,240 --> 01:03:48,440
Speaker 3: don't have great options. The best and most obvious thing

1139
01:03:48,480 --> 01:03:51,640
Speaker 3: to do would be to fund twelve separate appropriations bills,

1140
01:03:51,680 --> 01:03:53,160
Speaker 3: get this last one over the line, and do it

1141
01:03:53,160 --> 01:03:55,400
Speaker 3: the right way. But Democrats are preventing that. So this

1142
01:03:55,440 --> 01:03:58,360
Speaker 3: is our next option. I think Republicans will stick together,

1143
01:03:58,720 --> 01:04:01,760
Speaker 3: and I really hope, I really hope that there's a

1144
01:04:01,960 --> 01:04:05,040
Speaker 3: couple of Democrats left in the House and the Senate

1145
01:04:05,720 --> 01:04:07,680
Speaker 3: who will come to their senses and understand this must

1146
01:04:07,680 --> 01:04:09,440
Speaker 3: be done. I mean, I really hope they'll help us

1147
01:04:09,440 --> 01:04:10,200
Speaker 3: get this done.

1148
01:04:10,680 --> 01:04:13,360
Speaker 1: Mister Speaker, are you planning to keep the House in

1149
01:04:13,480 --> 01:04:17,040
Speaker 1: session once you pass this sixty day plan, or will

1150
01:04:17,080 --> 01:04:20,160
Speaker 1: you also take the easter recess here or will you

1151
01:04:20,200 --> 01:04:22,360
Speaker 1: just keep them in Washington until the Senate comes back.

1152
01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:26,400
Speaker 3: When we pass the c R today, we will lob

1153
01:04:26,480 --> 01:04:28,600
Speaker 3: that over to the Senate and this job will be

1154
01:04:28,640 --> 01:04:31,760
Speaker 3: done on government funding. And so what the intention is

1155
01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:35,680
Speaker 3: to not hold everybody here restlessly while we sit around

1156
01:04:35,680 --> 01:04:37,840
Speaker 3: and wait on the Senate action. I have the ability

1157
01:04:37,880 --> 01:04:39,960
Speaker 3: to pull everybody back with forty eight hours notice if

1158
01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:42,640
Speaker 3: something develops, but we will have done our job for

1159
01:04:42,760 --> 01:04:45,640
Speaker 3: the fourth time. I'll add this is literally the fourth

1160
01:04:45,720 --> 01:04:48,640
Speaker 3: time the House will pass a homeland security funding bill

1161
01:04:48,840 --> 01:04:50,880
Speaker 3: and send it to the Senate. We're doing our work.

1162
01:04:51,400 --> 01:04:53,800
Speaker 3: It's the Senate that's playing games, and we'll see how

1163
01:04:53,840 --> 01:04:56,480
Speaker 3: it plays out. But I can assure you House Republicans

1164
01:04:56,480 --> 01:04:58,440
Speaker 3: are on the job. Many of them want to be

1165
01:04:58,520 --> 01:05:01,120
Speaker 3: in their districts right now doing work there because we've

1166
01:05:01,160 --> 01:05:03,080
Speaker 3: been held here so much, and of course it's an

1167
01:05:03,080 --> 01:05:04,960
Speaker 3: election year. They want to be out talking and visiting

1168
01:05:04,960 --> 01:05:06,960
Speaker 3: with their constituents and doing the events and all that.

1169
01:05:07,080 --> 01:05:10,240
Speaker 3: So you know, it'd be foolhardy, I think for me

1170
01:05:10,280 --> 01:05:12,560
Speaker 3: to hold him here while we await next action. But

1171
01:05:12,600 --> 01:05:14,120
Speaker 3: I can bring them back on a moment's notice, and

1172
01:05:14,160 --> 01:05:15,680
Speaker 3: we will.

1173
01:05:15,800 --> 01:05:18,720
Speaker 1: That's Speaker Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the United States

1174
01:05:18,800 --> 01:05:22,960
Speaker 1: House of Representatives. He has just finished talking to the conference,

1175
01:05:23,280 --> 01:05:26,040
Speaker 1: he has just finished talking to the political reporters in

1176
01:05:26,080 --> 01:05:28,560
Speaker 1: the Capitol, and his first call was to us here

1177
01:05:28,640 --> 01:05:30,480
Speaker 1: on the Scott Jenning Show. Mister Speaker, I know you

1178
01:05:30,560 --> 01:05:33,000
Speaker 1: got hundreds of people coming at you today. We are

1179
01:05:33,040 --> 01:05:35,400
Speaker 1: grateful for your time and we wish you luck tonight

1180
01:05:35,440 --> 01:05:38,720
Speaker 1: and tomorrow as you get the Republicans together to fund

1181
01:05:38,720 --> 01:05:40,880
Speaker 1: border security in the United States of America.

1182
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:44,480
Speaker 3: Thank you, buddy, appreciate you and your important voice out there.

1183
01:05:44,520 --> 01:05:45,720
Speaker 3: God bless you. Talk to you soon.

1184
01:05:46,360 --> 01:05:48,440
Speaker 1: All right, mister speaker, thanks for joining us here on

1185
01:05:48,480 --> 01:05:51,160
Speaker 1: the Scott Jennings Show. That was the Speaker of the House,

1186
01:05:51,240 --> 01:05:54,600
Speaker 1: Mike Johnson. And this is the breaking news. The Senate

1187
01:05:54,680 --> 01:05:58,080
Speaker 1: overnight passed a funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security.

1188
01:05:58,560 --> 01:06:02,320
Speaker 1: It did not include any fund at all for border

1189
01:06:02,360 --> 01:06:05,920
Speaker 1: security at all. That means no ice, no customs in

1190
01:06:05,960 --> 01:06:08,800
Speaker 1: border protection. Mike Johnson just read from the bill what

1191
01:06:08,840 --> 01:06:11,160
Speaker 1: they sent over zero dollars for that. That's not going

1192
01:06:11,200 --> 01:06:13,760
Speaker 1: to fly in the House. They've got a sixty day plan.

1193
01:06:13,840 --> 01:06:17,080
Speaker 1: They're going to do that tonight or possibly tomorrow, but

1194
01:06:17,160 --> 01:06:19,960
Speaker 1: either way, the Senate plan in the House, the breaking

1195
01:06:20,000 --> 01:06:22,840
Speaker 1: news is dead on arrival. According to the Speaker, They're

1196
01:06:22,840 --> 01:06:24,800
Speaker 1: going to send something back to the Senate and it's

1197
01:06:24,840 --> 01:06:28,200
Speaker 1: probably not going to pass over there, so the impast continues.

1198
01:06:28,240 --> 01:06:32,480
Speaker 1: We did also learn that apparently the paychecks for TSA agents,

1199
01:06:32,520 --> 01:06:35,720
Speaker 1: as the Speaker understands, that are being processed right now

1200
01:06:36,160 --> 01:06:38,640
Speaker 1: by the Office of Management and Budget. This is because

1201
01:06:38,640 --> 01:06:43,400
Speaker 1: of the President's National Emergency declaration last night. So a lot,

1202
01:06:43,640 --> 01:06:46,720
Speaker 1: a lot of moving parts today on this breaking news

1203
01:06:46,760 --> 01:06:49,760
Speaker 1: coverage on the Scott Jennings Show, I got to get

1204
01:06:49,760 --> 01:06:52,040

01:07:55,320 --> 01:07:58,280
Speaker 1: is none too pleased about what the Senate did overnight

1222

Speaker 1: on this DHS funding flap, the impasse that we've all

1223

Speaker 14: to be here and to get to hear this breaking

1233
01:08:34,640 --> 01:08:38,080
Speaker 14: news right out of Speaker Johnson's mouth. I want to

1234
01:08:38,120 --> 01:08:39,760
Speaker 14: start by asking you a question, because I really don't

1235
01:08:39,840 --> 01:08:41,800
Speaker 14: understand this, and I think if I don't understand, and

1236
01:08:41,840 --> 01:08:44,040
Speaker 14: I'm following this very closely, maybe some of your other

1237
01:08:44,120 --> 01:08:48,240
Speaker 14: listeners don't. I thought that the big beautiful bill already

1238
01:08:48,479 --> 01:08:52,280
Speaker 14: funded ICE, So I'm confused as to why there is

1239
01:08:52,320 --> 01:08:55,200
Speaker 14: even a fight over the funding of ICE, because I

1240
01:08:55,240 --> 01:08:57,720
Speaker 14: thought that the President had sort of, very brilliantly, with

1241
01:08:57,760 --> 01:09:01,760
Speaker 14: the help of Speaker Johnson, taken that as something that

1242
01:09:01,760 --> 01:09:04,559
Speaker 14: the Democrats could even hold hostage off the table. Do

1243
01:09:04,600 --> 01:09:05,879
Speaker 14: you understand that, Scott.

1244
01:09:06,680 --> 01:09:09,639
Speaker 1: So they did fund ICE, they gave it a lot

1245
01:09:09,680 --> 01:09:11,920
Speaker 1: of extra money to do a lot of extra things,

1246
01:09:12,080 --> 01:09:15,519
Speaker 1: and so basically they're able to pull, as I understand it,

1247
01:09:16,160 --> 01:09:22,240
Speaker 1: from those future looking appropriations for current operations. But that's

1248
01:09:22,400 --> 01:09:28,760
Speaker 1: different than the regular appropriations process expenditure that would be

1249
01:09:28,800 --> 01:09:32,840
Speaker 1: authorized for ongoing operations, you know, And I'll admit I'm

1250
01:09:32,880 --> 01:09:35,080
Speaker 1: not sure I fully understand it either. But the Speaker

1251
01:09:35,160 --> 01:09:38,360
Speaker 1: was reading to us from the bill that the Senate passed,

1252
01:09:38,360 --> 01:09:41,719
Speaker 1: and they're saying zero dollars will go to any immigration enforcement,

1253
01:09:41,800 --> 01:09:44,360
Speaker 1: and so I think what the House's position is is

1254
01:09:44,360 --> 01:09:46,800
Speaker 1: that the Senate is trying to zero out any money

1255
01:09:46,840 --> 01:09:50,200
Speaker 1: at all for immigration enforcement and they're just not going

1256
01:09:50,240 --> 01:09:53,160
Speaker 1: to take any part of that. So I don't think

1257
01:09:53,400 --> 01:09:55,680
Speaker 1: the ICE agents because the way they're able to move

1258
01:09:55,720 --> 01:09:59,080
Speaker 1: money around or in danger of missing their paychecks right now.

1259
01:09:59,600 --> 01:10:01,479
Speaker 1: But I think there's a concern about what the Senate

1260
01:10:01,520 --> 01:10:03,160
Speaker 1: did that is going to try to zero it out

1261
01:10:03,200 --> 01:10:05,040
Speaker 1: from this point forward, which of course is dead on

1262
01:10:05,160 --> 01:10:07,719
Speaker 1: arrival in the House. So's I know it's a little

1263
01:10:08,240 --> 01:10:12,160
Speaker 1: it's confusing to me, to be honest, but there's a

1264
01:10:12,200 --> 01:10:14,760
Speaker 1: difference between ICE and TSA right now, and that I

1265
01:10:14,800 --> 01:10:16,680
Speaker 1: think they've been able to move money to ICE to

1266
01:10:16,760 --> 01:10:19,479
Speaker 1: keep them paid. That's not been true for TSA. And

1267
01:10:19,479 --> 01:10:21,679
Speaker 1: that's why the TSA guys have gone without a paycheck

1268
01:10:23,000 --> 01:10:23,479
Speaker 1: right and.

1269
01:10:23,400 --> 01:10:25,519
Speaker 14: Thank god the President is now going to pay them.

1270
01:10:25,560 --> 01:10:29,960
Speaker 14: I cannot stand when people who are doing God's work

1271
01:10:30,200 --> 01:10:32,320
Speaker 14: for not a lot of money. Let's be honest, these

1272
01:10:32,320 --> 01:10:34,920
Speaker 14: people make fifty thousand dollars a year and they can't

1273
01:10:34,960 --> 01:10:37,639
Speaker 14: even get access to that. And when you think about

1274
01:10:37,680 --> 01:10:40,800
Speaker 14: how that disincentivizes people from doing one of the most

1275
01:10:40,800 --> 01:10:44,640
Speaker 14: important jobs It's truly infuriating. So I'm very glad to

1276
01:10:44,640 --> 01:10:48,160
Speaker 14: hear that they're getting paid this. This is going to

1277
01:10:48,240 --> 01:10:50,720
Speaker 14: keep happening. And I don't know about you, Scott. When

1278
01:10:50,760 --> 01:10:55,519
Speaker 14: I see these lines around going all the way outside

1279
01:10:55,560 --> 01:10:58,280
Speaker 14: at airports, like, to me, this is third third world

1280
01:10:58,320 --> 01:11:01,200
Speaker 14: country stuff, I cannot let.

1281
01:11:01,080 --> 01:11:03,960
Speaker 1: Me ask you. Yeah, let me ask you a question

1282
01:11:03,960 --> 01:11:06,000
Speaker 1: about that. Who do you think the public is blaming.

1283
01:11:06,160 --> 01:11:08,880
Speaker 1: Do you think they understand that it's Democrats who have

1284
01:11:08,960 --> 01:11:11,360
Speaker 1: plunged us into chaos? Or are they confused about it?

1285
01:11:11,360 --> 01:11:12,200
Speaker 1: What's you read on it?

1286
01:11:13,840 --> 01:11:17,320
Speaker 14: I think they blame the political class. I don't think

1287
01:11:17,320 --> 01:11:20,839
Speaker 14: that they're sitting there saying Republicans or Democrats they cannot

1288
01:11:21,120 --> 01:11:24,839
Speaker 14: stand the bickering from our elected officials. And I honestly

1289
01:11:24,840 --> 01:11:27,200
Speaker 14: think the average American is not sitting there being like,

1290
01:11:27,280 --> 01:11:31,040
Speaker 14: it's the Republicans, it's the Democrats. They cannot stand this dysfunction.

1291
01:11:31,120 --> 01:11:33,000
Speaker 14: And what I was going to say is, to me,

1292
01:11:33,120 --> 01:11:35,479
Speaker 14: the most important thing coming out of this is I

1293
01:11:35,640 --> 01:11:39,200
Speaker 14: just had a representative Suhas Supermanya was a Democrat on

1294
01:11:39,240 --> 01:11:42,320
Speaker 14: my show, and he was saying he would partner with

1295
01:11:42,360 --> 01:11:45,800
Speaker 14: the Republicans to sign some kind of legislation that no

1296
01:11:45,880 --> 01:11:50,320
Speaker 14: matter what happens, TSA agents get paid that you cannot

1297
01:11:50,360 --> 01:11:53,360
Speaker 14: have this situation in the future where their paychecks get

1298
01:11:53,360 --> 01:11:56,799
Speaker 14: held hostage by the bickering that, let's face it, Scott

1299
01:11:56,840 --> 01:11:59,320
Speaker 14: is not going anywhere. So I think we have to

1300
01:11:59,360 --> 01:12:02,240
Speaker 14: find a way to insulate the American people from the

1301
01:12:02,360 --> 01:12:06,960
Speaker 14: unfortunate politicization and partisanship in our politics. Because, honestly, it's

1302
01:12:07,000 --> 01:12:09,479
Speaker 14: a great question. You asked, who are Americans blaming? And

1303
01:12:09,520 --> 01:12:11,840
Speaker 14: to me, it seems like from what I'm hearing, they're

1304
01:12:11,840 --> 01:12:15,040
Speaker 14: blaming politicians. They don't really care which side.

1305
01:12:16,200 --> 01:12:19,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's right, although I have to say

1306
01:12:19,640 --> 01:12:22,639
Speaker 1: the extreme position of the Democrats on this, this idea

1307
01:12:22,720 --> 01:12:25,360
Speaker 1: that we cannot enforce any immigration laws at all, that

1308
01:12:25,439 --> 01:12:29,000
Speaker 1: we shouldn't, you know, I mean have any border security,

1309
01:12:29,000 --> 01:12:32,920
Speaker 1: we shouldn't have any deportations. I mean staking out that position.

1310
01:12:33,040 --> 01:12:35,320
Speaker 1: I know for their base that's good, but I just

1311
01:12:35,400 --> 01:12:37,320
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that's where the American people are. I

1312
01:12:37,320 --> 01:12:40,360
Speaker 1: guess the question is can Republicans make it stick? Batya?
