Speaker 1: York City has made a series of troubling, violent and

12
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 1: racist social media posts. We have the reporter today who

13
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:55,080

Speaker 1: Chad Stall with the TSA in Washington is in today

Speaker 1: keeping an eye on the NCUBA basketball tournament while we

Speaker 1: do the show today. I'll keep you updated on things

24
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: that jump out as the tournament gets underway. The first

25
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 1: thing you need to know, if you're in the state

26
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 1: of Ohio, it's not looking too hot. TCU the nine

27
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: seed with a fifteen point lead on the Ohio State

28
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: University thirty nine, twenty fourth and a half Troy and Nebraska.

29
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: That's a thirteen to four game and the seeding and

30
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: it is a close game right now, about nine minutes

31
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: left and it's eighteen to fifteen in favor of the

32
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: corn Huskers. We'll keep an eye on the NCAA tournament

33
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: as the show wares on. Now for other news, the

34
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: left in America is reeling from a bombshell report in

35
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: The New York Times about Cesar Chavez. Long celebrated as

36
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: a civil rights icon and a champion of farm workers,

37
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 1: he is now at the center of a stunning and

38
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: deeply troubling controversy. This week, his closest ally and co

39
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: founder of the United farm Workers, Dolores Huerta, came forward

40
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: and a Q Chavez of sexually abusing her decades ago.

41
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 1: She says she stayed silent for more than sixty years

42
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 1: to protect the movement that they built. Her allegation follows

43
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: a major investigation that uncovered claims that Chavez groomed and

44
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: abused multiple girls, in some cases miners, during his time

45
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 1: leading the movement. The fallout from this has been immediate.

46
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: Events honoring Chavez are being canceled across the country, Organizations

47
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: are are distancing themselves, and even places in holidays bearing

48
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 1: his name are now under review. Here's the bottom line.

49
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: This is a moment where the Left is being forced

50
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: to grapple with something they usually reserve for others, separating

51
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:20,119
Speaker 1: a political hero from deeply disturbing personal allegations. You can

52
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: honor the cause of farm workers while telling the truth

53
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: about this man, and right now that truth is impossible

54
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: to ignore. The global energy situation today is on edge

55
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: and getting worse by the hour. Iran has now escalated

56
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: attacks beyond Israel, again, striking energy infrastructure in the Gulf,

57
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: including a key facility and cutter. And this is after

58
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: Israel hit South Pars, the largest natural gas field in

59
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: the world. The result oil and gas prices are surging again,

60
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: and the global energy market is starting to wobble a bit.

61
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: At the same time, the Strait of Hormone Oz, one

62
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: of the most critical shipping lanes on Earth, remains effectively

63
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: under threat at all times. Iran has been targeting ships there,

64
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: and now Iran's leadership what's left of it says the

65
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: Strait may never return to normal. We'll see what the

66
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: Americans and the Israelis and the rest of the Arab

67
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: States have to say about that. The United States has

68
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: responded with strikes on Iranian missile sites near the Strait,

69
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: while Europe is scrambling to keep oil flowing and even

70
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: floating emergency measures to boost their own supply. And then

71
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 1: there's President Trump's words. He has issued a stark warning

72
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: no more attacks on South pars unless Iran hits Cutter again,

73
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 1: in which case, he says, the US will quote massively

74
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: blow up the entire gas field. Bottom line, this conflict

75
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 1: is continuing to send ripples across energy and financial markets.

76
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: It is right now a direct threat to the world's

77
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: energy supply, and when energy wobbles, everything else tends to follow. Now,

78
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: Treasury secret Terry Scott Besson says in his view, ultimately

79
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: a coalition, international coalition will have to band together to

80
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: keep the straight of horror moves open. Let's hear Secretary

81
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: Besson and cut number four.

82
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 3: I think the President's been very clear here that he

83
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 3: believes that those who are benefiting from these actions in

84
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 3: their economies should contribute. And I think over time we

85
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 3: will likely see a clarification here that NATO, maybe some

86
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 3: of our Asian allies will not directly get involved in

87
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 3: the fighting. As we continue the bombing campaign. I would

88
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 3: be surprised that if eventually there isn't some kind of

89
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 3: a global coalition to escortships through the Strait of Hermos,

90
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,119
Speaker 3: it be very disappointing for those who benefit the most

91
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:55,679
Speaker 3: not to do something.

92
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 1: We'll have more on Operation Epic Fury later in the

93
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: show with our national security expert Rebecca Heinrichs. You don't

94
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: want to miss that conversation.

95
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 4: Now.

96
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:10,119
Speaker 1: President Trump has the Japanese Prime Minister in the White

97
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 1: House today. They're in there as we speak. They're in

98
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: the Oval Office, and he loves her and the feeling

99
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 1: is mutual. Takaichi is there and we have some interesting clips.

100
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: Let's listen to cut number nine. Here this is the

101
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 1: Japanese Prime Minister Sonai Takaichi talking about how she believes

102
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is a world peacemaker cut nine.

103
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 5: But even against that back job, I firmly believe that

104
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 5: it is only you, Donald, who can achieve peace across

105
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 5: the world, and to do so, I am ready to

106
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 5: reach out to many of the partners in the international

107
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 5: community to achieve our objective together.

108
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 1: And here's one more cut from this meeting going on

109
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: in the Oval Office. It's cut seven. This is President

110
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: Trump talking about the United States relationship with Japan. Cut seven.

111
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 6: You're doing We're gonna be speaking about it today. We've

112
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 6: had tremendous support and relationship with Japan on everything, and

113
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 6: I believe that based on statements who were given to

114
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 6: us yesterday the day before yesterday having to do with Japan,

115
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 6: they are really stepping up to the plane.

116
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: Yes, it's a full day in the White House for

117
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: the Japanese Prime Minister. She's there in the Oval Office.

118
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: They're having lunch, they're having meetings, there's a dinner tonight,

119
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: and we'll keep an eye on all the developments there.

120
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: As President Trump meets with his friend and ally, the

121
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: Prime Minister of Japan up on Capitol Hill. Mark Wayne

122
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: Mullen cleared through a Senate committee today and he is

123
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: on his way to being confirmed to be the next

124
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: Department of Homeland Security Secretary. In committee today, eight to

125
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: seven was the vote. Ran Paul the Republican, went against

126
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: John Fetterman, the Democrat, went for so one defection for

127
00:07:55,440 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 1: each party, but Mark Wayne Mullen moves along in the process. Now, well,

128
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: if you've been following the story of Joe Kent, this

129
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: is the White House counter terrorism advisor who just resigned

130
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: citing his opposition to the war in Iran. Well, here's

131
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: some news on that. Turns out he is under FBI

132
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: investigation for leaking classified information. Of course, Kent, upon his departure,

133
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: immediately ran to do an interview on Tucker Carlson's podcast

134
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: to continue to attack the president and spread conspiracy theories

135
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: about Israel. But we now know he is under investigation

136
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: for leaking classified information. Numerous news outlets are reporting this.

137
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 1: We'll see what laws mister Kent broke while serving in

138
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: the White House. Will stay on top of this one

139
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: for you. Airport news if you're going go early. Airports

140
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:50,199
Speaker 1: across the country continue to report long lines as TSA agents,

141
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: now having missed two paychecks, are not coming to work.

142
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: The chaos continues and increases by the day. Of course,

143
00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 1: this is the Democratic plan, recklessly cause chaos in America

144
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: and then somehow blame it on Donald Trump. Now later

145
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 1: in the show, we have the Deputy Director of TSA,

146
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: Chad Stall, coming on here to update us on the

147
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 1: latest travel disruptions. For instance, in Houston, more than forty

148
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 1: percent of TSA officers called out of work earlier this week.

149
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: And that's one of three major airports where over a

150
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: third of the TSA workforce called out. New Orleans and

151
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: Atlanta where the other two. So this is what's happening.

152
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: Democrats continue to keep TSA shut down, they won't pay

153
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: the workers, and now America suffers the consequences. Fort Lauderdale, Florida,

154
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: a Haitian born man living there, has been stripped of

155
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: his US citizenship after orchestrating a massive COVID relief fraud

156
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:50,439
Speaker 1: scheme stole about three point eight million dollars from programs

157
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:54,080

Speaker 8: era on both sides of the island entertainment politics, So

233

00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 7: few Thomas Massey.

00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 8: I feel like it was a big topic for us though.

271
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 8: It's definitely a fun interview. He's always good times.

272
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, you've been You've been covering right out of the gate,

273
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: and I said, here broadcasting from Kentucky today, you've been

274
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: covering some Kentucky political news as some of your first scoops.

275
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: You want to tell us about that?

276
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 8: I have so Ryan Dotson, who's running to replace Andy Barr.

277
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 8: I received some information. He was featured on the reality

278
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 8: TV show Vander Pump, Wouls and camra Or Fire a

279
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 8: couple of years back, which I love when reality.

280
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 7: TV meets Congress. I feel like there are two of

281
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 7: my passions.

282
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 8: But he came up on the Ashley Madison list, so

283
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 8: I received some information on that and the coordinates, so

284
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 8: it looks like it's legit. His wife, in a statement

285
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 8: denied that she thinks that that's a real thing, and

286
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 8: his team was like, there's no way to prove this.

287
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 8: So that's kind of where they stand. But yeah, it

288
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 8: was kind of an interesting story.

289
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: How do you balance that you get information or a tip,

290
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: so you see something like that, you've got direct denials

291
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: you know from the people who were involved. You published

292
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 1: it anyway, sort of as a journalist, you know what

293
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: sort of judgment do you go through there about whether

294
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 1: to actually, you know, put something like that on your site.

295
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 8: I mean, as much as I love gossip, you always

296
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 8: want to verify your gossip. So I mean, had the

297
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 8: coordinates there, had email addresses, and then you always multiple

298
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 8: sources on these things to be able to track it down.

299
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 8: So yeah, definitely want to remain a reliable journalist, even

300
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 8: if giving giving some of the saucier, more personality driven news.

Speaker 1: with us. Gold and silver recently soared to record highs

321
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 1: and then pulled back, So our precious metal still a goodbye.

322
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:26,120
Speaker 1: Many Wall Street experts predict higher prices ahead. Why well,

323
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,919
Speaker 1: because we still have trillions in national debt, a declining dollar,

324
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: and inflation that keeps shrinking our savings. Even with corrections

325
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: along the way, gold remains a historical hedge for wealth protection.

326
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 1: That's why Morgan Stanley's chief investment officer ditched the sixty

Speaker 2: Jetty Show.

339
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 1: Okay, it's March Madness underway here on Thursday, March to nineteenth.

340
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,959
Speaker 1: A couple of games in progress. TCU the nine seed

341
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 1: beating Ohio State forty one to thirty about fifteen minutes

342
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: left in the second half, and the thirteen seed Troy

343
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 1: is playing Nebraska the four seed, and the Cornhuskers up

344
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: heading to halftime forty one to twenty three. So we're

345
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 1: keeping an eye on the NCAA tournament. We're also keeping

346
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: an eye, frankly on the White House today. The President

347
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 1: of the United States has a world leader in the

348
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,200
Speaker 1: Oval Office and doing all sorts of things in the

349
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: White House. It is the Japanese Prime Minister sanay Takaiichi.

350
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 1: She's a conservative, by the way, and they have a

351
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 1: great relationship. But you know, when the president has these

352
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 1: world leaders in the Oval, you can expect at least one,

353
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 1: maybe two or three bangers the president. The President's already

354
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 1: unleashed one today. I got to play this eric O

355
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: Donald's here. We're going to talk to Erica about education,

356
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: but I had to get this in. The President gets

357
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 1: asked about why he didn't tell the japan before we

358
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 1: attacked Iran. You got to hear this and cut twelve

359
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 1: too much.

360
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,639
Speaker 6: You know, when we go in, we went in very hard,

361
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 6: and we didn't tell anybody about it because we wanted surprise.

362
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 6: Who knows better about surprise than Japan.

363
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 2: Hey, why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor?

364
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:56,400
Speaker 6: Okay? Right, he askab Be, do you believe in surprise?

365
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,640
Speaker 6: I think much more so than us. And we had

366
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 6: a surprise than we did and because of that surprise,

367
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 6: we knocked out the first two days were probably knocked

368
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:10,400
Speaker 6: out fifty percent of what we and much more than

369
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 6: we anticipated doing. So if I go and tell everybody

370
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 6: about it, is no longer surprised, right, Okay?

371
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 9: One more?

372
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:24,120
Speaker 1: The President Trump, the funniest working comedian alive. I've maintained

373
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,439
Speaker 1: it from the beginning. Can always count on him for

374
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 1: his zinger, particularly when these world leaders are in the oval.

375
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 1: Erica Donald's is coming up in just a moment. A

376
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 1: quick word about our nation's two hundred and fiftieth anniversary.

377
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:40,439
Speaker 1: Let's go back to March of seventeen seventy five, Saint

378
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:44,959
Speaker 1: John's Church in Richmond and Patrick Henry rose to speak

379
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: words that spurred the American Revolution and continue to echo

380
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 1: through American history. Give me liberty or give me death.

381
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: As we celebrate America's two hundred and fiftieth it's never

382
00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 1: been more important to reflect on our nation's value and

383
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 1: commit ourselves to moving our country forward. Now, my friends

384
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 1: at Americans for Prosperity have created a terrific way to

385
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 1: celebrate this historic year through the One Small Step Initiative.

386
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 1: This is a campaign built on a simple idea. It

387
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: is that liberty requires courage and conviction and an active citizenry.

388
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 1: For nearly two hundred and fifty years, Americans have preserved

389
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 1: liberty through small, deliberate steps, and now it's on us,

390
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: in the face of tremendous opposition to these ideals, to

391
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: ensure these freedoms and all of this ideology, this American exceptionalism,

392
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: passes on to the next generation. If you believe, as

393
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 1: I do, that freedom is worth defending, I encourage you

394
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 1: to visit the A two fifty toolkit dot com slash scott,

395
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:51,239
Speaker 1: a two five ozero toolkit dot com slash scott, and

396
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,639
Speaker 1: add your voice for liberty. That's a two five zero

397
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 1: toolkit dot com slash scott. All right, it's common sense

398
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,880
Speaker 1: for the American people. Here and tomorrow marks the one

399
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:06,159
Speaker 1: year anniversary of President Trump signing the executive Order to

400
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: eliminate the Federal Department of Education. The move, of course,

401
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 1: faced incredible scrutiny from teachers' unions and their supporters, but

402
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 1: it was bold, and it refocused our reforming America's education

403
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,400
Speaker 1: system on things that actually work instead of things like

404
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:25,360
Speaker 1: bloated bureaucracies. For decades, taxpayers had funneled more and more

405
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: money into the Department of Education with little to nothing

406
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 1: to show for it. And at at the same time,

407
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 1: individual states took education reform head on and they became

408
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 1: models for fixing broken systems. So, with the Department of

409
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:42,479
Speaker 1: Education shrinking and eventually on its way out, what comes

410
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 1: next for our education system? Joining us now to discuss

411
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 1: it all, my friend from Florida, Erica Donalds, a nationally

412
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 1: recognized education entrepreneur, a policy leader, founder and CEO of

413
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:59,199
Speaker 1: the Education Freedom Foundation and the America First Policy Institute,

414
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 1: Chair of Education Opportunity Erica. Good to see you here,

415
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: good to hear your voice. Welcome to the Scott Jenning Show.

416
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 7: Thank you so much for having me, Scott, I appreciate it.

417
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:12,399
Speaker 1: Well, it was good to see you in Florida the

418
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: other day and Byron as well, and of course we

419
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,640
Speaker 1: wish you all luck on your campaign for governor there.

420
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 1: But I want to talk to you about education today

421
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 1: and specifically the Department of Education. You know, President Trump

422
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 1: actually did something that Republican presidents say they want to

423
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 1: do usually and let's get rid of this thing, and

424
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,120
Speaker 1: he's the first person to actually try to do it.

425
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 1: Tell us why that was the right move to get

426
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 1: rid of this unnecessary agency, at least in the eyes

427
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:38,959
Speaker 1: of many conservatives.

428
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:40,639
Speaker 7: Yeah.

429
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 10: Well, the public education system in the nation has really

430
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 10: failed the American people, and it does start with the

431
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 10: last forty years and trillions of dollars in this federal

432
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 10: Department of Education that has done nothing to improve the

433
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 10: performance of American students. Instead, it has been a power

434
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 10: base for teachers' unions and left wing ideology to be

435
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 10: pushed down using a carrot and stick approach with funding

436
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 10: from the federal government to force left wing ideology and

437
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 10: bad education policy into our schools, into our districts, and

438
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,159
Speaker 10: take that power away from states. So President Trump was

439
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,919
Speaker 10: right to campaign on this, received a mandate for it

440
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 10: in a year ago, did pass that executive order and

441
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 10: sign it that he would be returning education to the

442
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 10: States and getting rid of this bureaucracy that's totally unnecessary

443
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:29,880
Speaker 10: and a complete failure.

444
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 1: You are the policy expert. I'm just a lay person.

445
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,879
Speaker 1: I do have a kids who attend schools, But it

446
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: seems to me that the one and only metric by

447
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 1: which we should judge whether something is working in education

448
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:47,399
Speaker 1: is are people learning? Are the test scores getting any better.

449
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 1: And you look at over the lifetime of the Department

450
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 1: of Education, not only are the scores not getting better lately,

451
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 1: they're getting worse. Does anyone in the education bureaucracy and

452
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 1: the teachers' unions do they ever have an answer to

453
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,679
Speaker 1: this question? It's the one thing that's so obvious. This

454
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 1: is broken. The test course prove it, and yet they

455
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:10,120
Speaker 1: want to continue on with bureaucracies and union bosses setting policies.

456
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:10,919
Speaker 1: Seems crazy to me.

457
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 7: We're absolutely right.

458
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 10: Only about a third of American children are proficient in

459
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 10: reading and math.

460
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:19,159
Speaker 7: I mean, I have three children.

461
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 10: Can you imagine how angry I would be if only

462
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 10: one of them could read and do math on grade level.

463
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,119
Speaker 10: That is how we the American public should be at

464
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 10: our education system. So we have to make changes. That

465
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 10: starts with eliminating this unnecessary bureaucracy and waste of federal funds,

466
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:39,159
Speaker 10: returning education to the states, and encouraging states to be

467
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 10: those competitive places where the democracy and innovation thrive and

468
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 10: they can learn from one another. You look at states

469
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 10: like Mississippi that have outperformed in reading of all things

470
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 10: right because they've implemented the science of reading in such

471
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 10: a careful and thoughtful way, and so we want to

472
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 10: see more of that from the states. The way to

473
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:01,639
Speaker 10: do that is to get the federal government out of

474
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 10: the way and encourage that competition.

475
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:08,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, that Mississippi miracle we call it. It has really

476
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 1: been a revelation. And I had Governor Reeves from Mississippi

477
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 1: on the show a few weeks ago, and he was

478
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 1: explaining how it took about ten years for them to

479
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 1: implement these reforms, but the response from students and the

480
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:24,160
Speaker 1: test scores just improved dramatically. But even a prominent Democrat

481
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,679
Speaker 1: came on this show this week, rom Emmanuel. He's been

482
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 1: in Mississippi recently, and he is saying, we've got to

483
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 1: export this model, you know, using phonics for instance, in

484
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,880
Speaker 1: reading education. We have to export this around the country.

485
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 1: You know, it is true if people lead and you

486
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 1: get results, people will also follow. And I think that's

487
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 1: what you're seeing out of these primarily red states with

488
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:51,400
Speaker 1: Republican governors in Republican legislatures. They're saying, we're throwing out

489
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,679
Speaker 1: the old Union, you know, force playbook. We're doing the

490
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,919
Speaker 1: reforms that work. Tell us a little bit about the

491
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 1: effort to spread the Mississippi ideas to other states, and

492
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,159
Speaker 1: also maybe talk to us a little bit about the

493
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 1: resistance that you run into when you get into these

494
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 1: blue areas where the teachers unions are very powerful.

495
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 7: Yeah, well, teaching children properly is difficult. I've started six

496
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:17,640
Speaker 7: classical charter schools that all use explicit phonics. We've had

497
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 7: to train hundreds.

498
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 10: Of teachers, and how to teach phonics is very repetitive,

499
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 10: and it's not like the whole language. Very humanity is

500
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 10: driven way of teaching that we've allowed our education system

501
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 10: to embrace, which has not allowed our results to thrive.

502
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 10: You're also talking about the competition coming from school choice

503
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:42,959
Speaker 10: and from better performance of students who are in choice

504
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 10: environments that the teachers' union also hates because they're losing

505
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 10: power to choice environments in places like Florida and now

506
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 10: Texas and others. But we know that Americans thrive in

507
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 10: competitive environments. We have more innovation when we have competition,

508
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 10: and it rises all boats across the board.

509
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 7: So we need both.

510
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 10: We need best practices across the country and we need

511
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 10: free market competition.

512
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I agree with you that the federal bureaucracy

513
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:12,959
Speaker 1: often gets in the way of all of this. So

514
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 1: the President signed this executive order about a year ago

515
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 1: to eliminate the Department of Education. And I've heard Linda McMahon,

516
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 1: the secretary, say, you know, she's the only cabinet secretary

517
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 1: whose job it is to eliminate her own job. And

518
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 1: it is quite a bit smaller, and they have slimmed

519
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 1: it down quite a bit, But it would take an

520
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 1: active Congress, I think, to get rid of the Department

521
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 1: of Education once and for all. What do you think

522
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 1: does the political will exist in Washington to finally do it.

523
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 7: Well, you follow these things as closely as I do, Scott.

524
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 10: We know it's going to be very difficult with the

525
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 10: filibuster employees to eliminate the Department.

526
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 7: Of Education through Congress.

527
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 10: But I think Glenda McMahon and her team have done

528
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 10: an excellent job so far because they're able to prove

529
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 10: that other departments can handle some of the major responsibilities

530
00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 10: of the department.

531
00:29:58,360 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 7: You know, they made the interagency.

532
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 10: As we're up to nine now, the majority of functions

533
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 10: of the department, aside from the student loan portfolio, are

534
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 10: now being handled by other departments that are more well

535
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 10: suited labors doing workforce. The Department of State is investigating

536
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 10: foreign influence on our higher education system. HHS is handling

537
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 10: student mental health. I think as you see those contracts

538
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 10: play out and they're working for the stakeholders in the states,

539
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 10: for parents and districts, that Congress can then see this

540
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 10: is already working.

541
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 7: Why not make it long?

542
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 1: One final question on a little bit of breaking news.

543
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 1: The story came out yesterday that the College Board, which

544
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 1: is in charge of the AP program, admitted they had

545
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 1: dombe down their test questions. They've lowered the threshold for

546
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 1: passing these advanced classes. You're an education policy expert, what's

547
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 1: better lower standards or higher standards, because it seems like

548
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 1: everybody's lowering their standards, at least if you read this

549
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 1: story about the College Board.

550
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 10: Unfortunately, we're seeing this as a trend across the It's

551
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 10: really exacerbated, including great inflation, not just for AP courses

552
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 10: and tests, but across the board. We're seeing dramatic grade inflation.

553
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 10: And now there are studies coming out showing that great

554
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 10: inflation actually harms students' ability to perform in college. At

555
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 10: the higher levels. We're seeing massive growth in graduation rates

556
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 10: and yet lower proficiency in those same states and districts

557
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 10: that are having record graduation rates. We're lying to our parents,

558
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 10: we're lying to our students, and we have to raise

559
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 10: the bar across the board if we're really going to

560
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 10: be serious about improving academic excellence in this country, and

561
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 10: we have to in order to be globally competitive.

562
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 1: Couldn't agree with you more that voice you're hearing, eric A.

563
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 1: Donald's education policy expert, and I have to say, wife

564
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 1: of Byron Donald's congressman from Florida and quite likely the

565
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 1: next governor, which makes you, I don't know if you

566
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 1: know this, but that quite likely makes you the next

567
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 1: first Lady of Florida. So we look forward to talking

568
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 1: about the campaign in the near future, but that's going

569
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 1: on this year down in the Sunshine State. Erica, thanks

570
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 1: for coming on the show. Have a quick word from

571
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 1: our friends at Patriot Mobile. Now, most wireless companies don't

572
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 1: give a hoot about what you believe in. In fact,

573
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 1: they may believe in different things than you do. But

574
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile cares, and they don't just want your business,

Speaker 1: They want to invest in your values. They believe freedom

576
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 1: is worth defending, and they use the bills that they

577
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 1: collect to provide premium wireless service to fund the Christian

578
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 1: Conservative movement in the United States of America. Switching is

579
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 1: not a hassle. It's easier than ever. You keep your number,

580
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 1: you keep your phone, or upgrade it, whatever you want,

591
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 1: Thursday, March nineteenth, Quick check of the NCAA tournament scoreboard.

592
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 1: My alma mater is underway. University of Louisville about ten

593
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 1: minutes to go in the first half, leading South Florida

594
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 1: seventeen to nine. Go cards that TCU Ohio State game

595
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 1: about nine minutes to go, and Ohio State has cut

596
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 1: the deficit to five forty nine forty four. Now TCU leads,

597
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 1: but it was much bigger just a few minutes ago.

598
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 1: They're at the half where Nebraska leads Troy forty one

599
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 1: to twenty five, and just underway Wisconsin taking on high point.

600
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 1: So it's March Madness Thursday, and we're keeping an eye

601
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 1: on that here at the Scott Shetting Show. Also yesterday,

602
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,760

Speaker 11: our sixth fallen, it was an honor and a privilege

609
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 11: for me to be there and to say thank you

610
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:19,799
Speaker 11: to their families. And I want to mention their names

00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 11: that crew.

622
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:08,360
Speaker 1: General Kine today honoring the fallen heroes brought home to

623
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:13,360
Speaker 1: Dover yesterday and the dignified remains transfer. Scott Jennings reporting

624
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 1: to you on Salem. And it is another day and

625
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 1: another edition of one of our favorite segments called What

626
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,839
Speaker 1: in the World Is going On in Gavin Newsom's California.

627
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 1: This latest story comes from Christopher rufo Over at City Journal.

628
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 1: It is a doozy, a one hundred and fourteen million

629
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 1: dollars wildlife bridge over the one oh one. Now, on

630
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 1: the surface, it sounds good, We're helping animals cross the road.

631
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:42,919
Speaker 1: Who would be against that? But look closer and it's

632
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 1: like everything else in California, you realize it's not that simple.

633
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 1: This is a gold plated monument to government excess. They

634
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 1: broke ground on this back in twenty twenty two. The

635
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 1: projected cost was ninety two million dollars and the completion

636
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,319
Speaker 1: date was to be twenty twenty five. Well it's now

637
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six. It's behind schedule, and now we're up

638
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 1: to about one hundred and fourteen million dollars, tens of

639
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 1: millions over budget. What are taxpayers getting out of this? Well,

640
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:16,839
Speaker 1: not better roads. The traffic isn't any better, The communities

641
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:22,880
Speaker 1: aren't any safer. This is effectively a designer wildlife crossing

642
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 1: from mountain lions and butterflies. Now the story gets better.

643
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:31,440
Speaker 1: It's not just a bridge. It is also an ecosystem

644
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 1: of consultants and bureaucrats and soil experts and habitat planners

645
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 1: environmental reviewers. It is a full blown taxpayer funded jobs

646
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 1: program for professional plate spinners. Now, regular Californians are dealing

647
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:52,920
Speaker 1: with sky high gas prices, a housing crisis, crime concerns,

648
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:57,400
Speaker 1: and failing infrastructure. But don't worry, the mountain lions and

649
00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 1: the butterflies are getting there. Luxury overpass. What a disconnect

650
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 1: between what you ought to be doing, and what you

651
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 1: are doing with state government in California, you have massive

652
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 1: cost here, delays and expanding scope, very little real world

653
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 1: benefit for the people in California who are footing the bill.

654
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 1: Here's another kicker. California is staring down right now billions

655
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:30,400
Speaker 1: in budget deficits in the coming years. So maybe, just maybe,

656
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 1: in California, it might be time to ask a basic question,

657
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 1: is this really the best use of our money? Is

658
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom really the best person to be spending it?

659
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 1: And Gavin Newsom's California, these questions seem to rarely get asked.

660
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 1: We'll keep tabs on California as Gavin Newsom plots his

661
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:53,320
Speaker 1: twenty twenty eight presidential campaign. Before we go to break,

662
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:55,879
Speaker 1: I do want to remind you you can still get

663

Speaker 1: hour news headlines. When we come back, a deep dive

675
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 1: into the latest on Operation Epic Fury. Stay with us

676
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 1: on the Scott Shenning Show.

677
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:38,880
Speaker 2: If the leftists haven't had enough gut, there's more. This

678
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 2: is the Scott Jenny Show.

679
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 1: Our number two here on Thursday, March nineteenth, and we've

680
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 1: got our first barn burner of the NCAA Tournament. Ohio

681
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:51,360
Speaker 1: State has stormed back to take a lead over TCU.

682
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,359
Speaker 1: It's now fifty seven to fifty five with about four

683
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 1: and a half minutes to go. That was the first

684
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 1: game of the tournament. TCU had a commanding lead throughout

685
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 1: much the game, but Ohio State, the eighth seed, coming

686
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 1: back and got a close one going on. Louisville Cardinals

687
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 1: taking on South Florida in the first half, Louisville twenty

688
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:12,759
Speaker 1: seven sixteen ahead there Nebraska crushing Troy Now in the

689
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 1: second half. Wisconsin's up six over high point with about

690
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 1: ten minutes to go in the first half. So first

691
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 1: day at the NCAA tournament. We'll keep an eye on

692
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 1: that for you. Quick check of the other headlines. We

693
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 1: are in day thirty three of the shutdown of the

694
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 1: Department of Homeland Security. We do have airport chaos out there,

695
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 1: and at the end of this hour, I'll talk to

696
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 1: Adam Stall. He is the deputy director of TSA in Washington.

697
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 1: We'll see how bad it is out there at America's

698
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 1: airports now. Senate Leader John fun has said just a

699
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 1: little while ago that he may cancel the Senate's upcoming

700
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:50,400
Speaker 1: recess if Homeland Security is still shut down. That is

701
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 1: a sign that talks between Republicans and Democrats could be

702
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 1: advancing here. And Senator Thun said that Tom Homan is

703
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 1: now meeting with a by part artisan group of senators today.

704
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:05,880
Speaker 1: This is a positive sign, I think, and one that

705
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 1: Thune said he had been encouraging for a while. Homan

706
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 1: has a lot of credibility on both sides of the aisle.

707
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 1: We'll see what that produces. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Nett

708
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 1: and Yahoo holding a press conference with the international media

709
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:20,799
Speaker 1: tonight at eight point thirty. We'll definitely keep an eye

710
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:22,920
Speaker 1: on that and bring you all the news from that

711
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:27,800
Speaker 1: at tomorrow's show. And we had the CIA Director Ratcliffe

712
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 1: on Capitol Hill doing some testimony today. Let's take a

713
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 1: listen to Ratcliffe here and cut number three.

714
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:36,360
Speaker 12: Is the Iranian regime committed to America's destruction?

715
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 5: In your opinion?

716
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 4: Yes?

717
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:40,399
Speaker 12: Does the Iranian regime have American blood on their hands

718
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:43,319
Speaker 12: since it's founding in nineteen seventy nine? Has a Ran

719
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 12: ploted assassination a tempts against Americans on American soil?

720
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:46,719
Speaker 8: Yes?

721
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:49,400
Speaker 12: Was a Rand developing a nuclear weapon prior to our

722
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:52,160
Speaker 12: military action last June? And did Iran remain committed to

723
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:54,440
Speaker 12: developing a nuclear weapon the'll lead up to this conflict?

724
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:57,839
Speaker 2: Yes, So I want to clarify on that because there's

725
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 2: been much talk about a fatwah against the development of

726
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:02,480
Speaker 2: a nuclear weapon.

727
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 12: Come back to that one second.

728
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:03,919
Speaker 9: Let me finish.

729
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,960
Speaker 12: Yes, if left un check, do you think around would

730
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:08,920
Speaker 12: have the ability to develop missiles capable of reaching.

731
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:09,400
Speaker 1: The United States?

732
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:09,800
Speaker 6: Yes?

733
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 12: Today Israel force the US's hand and make us take

734
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 12: action as some have claimed, No, Director Gabbert, Do you

735
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:17,840
Speaker 12: agree with the CIA in dis directors has been on

736
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 12: that last question in particular?

737
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 1: All right, joining me now to react to that exchange

738
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:26,360
Speaker 1: on Capitol Hill and talk about broader foreign policy issues.

739
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 1: One of the smartest minds on foreign policy and national

740
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:33,879
Speaker 1: security in the conservative movement, Rebecca Heinrichs, is here from

741
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 1: the Hudson Institute. Rebecca, you heard Ratcliffe there and you

742
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 1: heard Tulsi affirment. When you heard that, what did you think.

743
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 13: Well, I thought, of course, I mean, this is all

744
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 13: known information, very well documented. There's this idea that there's

745
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:55,840
Speaker 13: this conspiracy out there that the Israelis pressured President Trump

746
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:57,280
Speaker 13: to take this action.

747
00:41:57,520 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 7: It's just nonsense.

748
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:02,440
Speaker 13: The United States has essentially been defending itself against the

749
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:06,440
Speaker 13: Iranian revolution since nineteen seventy nine. There's blood on the

750
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:08,960
Speaker 13: hands of the Iran regime. You think about all of

751
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:10,960
Speaker 13: the veterans that have come home from the Global War

752
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:16,840
Speaker 13: on Terrorism, many of them have been harmed by Iranian proxies, funded, armed,

753
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:20,719
Speaker 13: and equipped by Iran. So President Trump has taken this

754
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 13: initiative to launch Operation Epic Fury in defense of the

755
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:28,719
Speaker 13: American people and our interests in collaboration with the Israelis,

756
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:30,759
Speaker 13: and of course it was refirmed by both Ratcliffe and

757
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 13: Gabbered today and that should put those conspiracy theories to rent.

758
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:38,280
Speaker 1: I think, well, let's talk about some of those conspiracy theories,

759
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:41,360
Speaker 1: because they are now being pushed by someone who was

760
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 1: previously inside the White House. This character Joe Kent, who

761
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 1: was the director of the Counter Terrorism Center. He resigned

762
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 1: and said he couldn't work there any longer in good

763
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:55,279
Speaker 1: conscience because of this war against Iran. He of course

764
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:59,279
Speaker 1: has now run to Tucker Carlson's podcast and other conspiracy

765
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:03,200
Speaker 1: mongers out there to spread these tales. This Joe Kent

766
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:06,479
Speaker 1: situation is interesting. You know. My view is he should

767
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:08,839
Speaker 1: never have had this job in the first place. Now

768
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:12,840
Speaker 1: they say he's under FBI investigation for leaking classified material.

769
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 1: What do you make of this whole Joe Kent mess.

770
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 13: Well, Joe Kent should never have been serving in that position.

771
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:24,120
Speaker 13: I mean, obviously, in his resignation letter, he said that

772
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:26,239
Speaker 13: he did not believe that there was a threat to

773
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:30,040
Speaker 13: the United States from Iran. Not only is there a threat,

774
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:32,480
Speaker 13: there's an ongoing threat that's been going on for years,

775
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:35,360
Speaker 13: as we just heard from the CIA director and for

776
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:38,240
Speaker 13: somebody like Joe Kent, who was in charge for counter

777
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:40,920
Speaker 13: terrorism to protect the American.

778
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:43,400
Speaker 7: People, to not acknowledge.

779
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:45,000
Speaker 13: That the Iran regime is the is the head of

780
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 13: the snake when it comes to terrorism and threats to

781
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 13: the American people is just I mean, it's hard to

782
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:52,160
Speaker 13: wrap your mind around. And the other thing Scott that

783
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 13: I thought was just appalling in his letter is he

784
00:43:55,080 --> 00:44:00,359
Speaker 13: really peddled this conspiracy theory that the Israelis and their

785
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 13: lobby Jewish people were the ones that were behind this,

786
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 13: saying that President Trump does not have agency here, that

787
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 13: he's been manipulated and controlled.

788
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:09,880
Speaker 7: I mean, that kind of idea.

789
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:13,280
Speaker 13: It is galling that somebody held that idea and served

790
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:15,920
Speaker 13: in that position of government. We had signs though, Scott,

791
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:19,920
Speaker 13: he I mean, Joe Kent has been peddling this stuff

792
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 13: and has been hanging out in this Tucker Carlson ecosystem,

793
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:23,520
Speaker 13: I think for too long.

794
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:27,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, this was not a good hire and probably was

795
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 1: left on the payroll for far too long, and he

796
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:32,200
Speaker 1: tried to embarrass the President on the way out the door. Well,

797
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:37,120
Speaker 1: we'll see what this leak investigation uncovers regarding the war effort. Obviously,

798
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 1: our ally here is Israel. There are ally They're not

799
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 1: in charge of us, but we are aligned with him.

800
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:44,880
Speaker 1: President Trump got asked about this today in the Oval Office.

801
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 1: Let's listen to that and cut number eight. We talked

802
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 1: to frem innistryman Nannie Hobo about attacking the oil in

803
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 1: goats fields.

804
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:54,319
Speaker 6: Yeah, I did. I did. I told him don't do that,

805
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:57,319
Speaker 6: and he just won't do that. We didn't discuss, you know,

806
00:44:57,360 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 6: we'd do. We're independent, we get along great, it's coordinated,

807
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:05,840
Speaker 6: but on occasion, he'll do something and if I don't

808
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:08,440
Speaker 6: like it, and so we're not doing that anymore.

809
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:12,480
Speaker 1: On this gas fields attack, Rebecca, what do you make

810
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:15,600
Speaker 1: of the President's a rather lengthy statement that he issued

811
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:17,880
Speaker 1: last night? And where do we stand on this? Oil

812
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:20,600
Speaker 1: markets and energy markets today are going crazy.

813
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 7: So two things.

814
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:26,240
Speaker 13: One, I do think that the United States with Israel

815
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:29,440
Speaker 13: is working together really well, hand in glove on this

816
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 13: Operation Epic Fury against the Iranians. Israel has been an

817
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:36,560
Speaker 13: incredible ally for the United States. The intelligence that Israel

818
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:41,279
Speaker 13: has makes it so competent for us to achieve really

819
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:44,560
Speaker 13: taking out these regime leaders in Iran, and so we're

820
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:46,920
Speaker 13: working really well with them. I think President Trump made

821
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 13: it clear that this operation against this oil field, the

822
00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:52,520
Speaker 13: Israeli struck in a very limited way, this massive oil

823
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 13: field in Iran, and he said, We're not the ones

824
00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:58,759
Speaker 13: who did it. I don't think that necessarily means we

825
00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:00,400
Speaker 13: didn't know they were going to do it, because of

826
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:01,239
Speaker 13: how closely we.

827
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:02,960
Speaker 7: Are working inside Iran.

828
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:05,600
Speaker 13: But I think President Trump's statement after that was really important,

829
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:08,439
Speaker 13: where he said, but look, if Iran continues to hit

830
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 13: oil infrastructure in our golf partners, the Emordis, the Qataris, Bahrain, Saudi's,

831
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:17,719
Speaker 13: that we will we will kind of take the gloves off.

832
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:20,120
Speaker 13: We have the ability to do that for them and

833
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 13: really take the life out of the regime totally.

834
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:27,000
Speaker 7: That's how they get their finances. But we don't want you, Scott.

835
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:31,360
Speaker 13: Because that oil field still provides the domestic electricity for

836
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:33,600
Speaker 13: the Iranian people. And our war is not with the

837
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:36,799
Speaker 13: Iranian people. We do want the country to exist after this.

838
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 13: We just want them to have a regime that can

839
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:41,959
Speaker 13: collaborate with the United States and not be an enemy

840
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:42,360
Speaker 13: of ours.

841
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:47,040
Speaker 1: And Voisher hearing Rebecca Heinrix from the Hudson Institute, our

842
00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:50,440
Speaker 1: official national security expert of the Scott Sheenning show. I

843
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:53,760
Speaker 1: want to shift gears quickly, Rebecca, get your thoughts on Cuba.

844
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:56,200
Speaker 1: A lot going on down there, a lot of US

845
00:46:56,200 --> 00:46:59,200
Speaker 1: social unrest. The economy is teetering. They're having issues with

846
00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:02,120
Speaker 1: the electrical grid. What's your outlook on Cuba. Do we

847
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:04,880
Speaker 1: think we're going to see major change? Would the government

848
00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:06,960
Speaker 1: come down there in short order? What's your view?

849
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:09,200
Speaker 7: I think so.

850
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:11,719
Speaker 13: I think it's teetering. We really are kind of squeezing.

851
00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:14,920
Speaker 13: We the United States are squeezing the Cubans, obviously. I mean,

852
00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:17,160
Speaker 13: this is the way to think about this is obviously

853
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:20,719
Speaker 13: the communist regime. They collabor the commun the Cubans collaborate

854
00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:23,480
Speaker 13: with the Chinese Communist Party. Cuba has really been a

855
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:28,480
Speaker 13: surveillance outpost for China, collaborate with the Russians. And President

856
00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 13: Trump does not want these narco communist terrorist states in

857
00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:35,000
Speaker 13: our hemisphere, and so right now we really are squeezing

858
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:38,560
Speaker 13: them economically and pressuring the leaders of that country to

859
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:41,799
Speaker 13: step aside. There's some indication that that might happen. I

860
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:44,360
Speaker 13: think the Cubans are looking at what happened with Maduro

861
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:47,799
Speaker 13: and Venezuela, with what the United States and our overwhelming

862
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 13: military competency against the Iran regime, and I would suspect

863
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:55,960
Speaker 13: that they are looking for a way to step aside,

864
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:59,239
Speaker 13: to do something to essentially save the country from the

865
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:01,480
Speaker 13: United States taking military action the which I don't think

866
00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:01,879
Speaker 13: we're going.

867
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:02,279
Speaker 4: To need to do.

868
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:05,920

889
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:10,600
Speaker 1: is here to talk about Rama Duagie. That's mom, Donnie's wife. Oh,

890
00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:12,640
Speaker 1: the social media, it's not good. More on that.

891
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:15,960
Speaker 2: After this, you've heard the narratives. Now give the truth.

892
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:17,839
Speaker 2: It's the Scott Jenny show.

893
00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:23,560
Speaker 1: Well well, well, the hits keep on coming for Zoron

894
00:49:23,719 --> 00:49:27,400
Speaker 1: Mamdanni and his wife, Rama Duagie. If you've been following

895
00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:31,480
Speaker 1: this story the last several days, First, the First Lady

896
00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:35,040
Speaker 1: of New York City was caught liking posts that celebrated

897
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:38,440
Speaker 1: or downplayed the events of October the seventh, and then

898
00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:41,520
Speaker 1: it was revealed that she had done illustrations of an

899
00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:47,200
Speaker 1: anti Israel activist who raged about quote Jewish supremacist vampires.

900
00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:51,120
Speaker 1: Now the trifecta is here. An old social media account

901
00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:55,440
Speaker 1: of hers has been found exposing more pro terrorism post

902
00:49:55,480 --> 00:50:00,000
Speaker 1: and even some stuff that most people would consider racist.

903
00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:02,720
Speaker 1: Coming back to the Scott Shedding Show today, the reporter

904
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:05,719
Speaker 1: who is on top of it all, John Levine, he

905
00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:09,359
Speaker 1: writes for the Washington Free Beacon, John, thanks for being here.

906
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:14,680
Speaker 1: Your latest headline is quote zoron Mom. Donnie's wife celebrated

907
00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:21,239
Speaker 1: Palestinian terrorists, including plane hijacker in social media posts from

908
00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:23,759
Speaker 1: early adulthood. Tell us about it, John.

909
00:50:24,719 --> 00:50:27,080
Speaker 14: Well, this is a classic example of it. It walks

910
00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:29,520
Speaker 14: like a duck and sounds like a duck. It's a duck.

911
00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:33,160
Speaker 14: And you mentioned the other examples of her liking certain

912
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:36,400
Speaker 14: comments and posts and working with noted anti semits who

913
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:39,600
Speaker 14: called Jews vampires and ghouls and cockroaches. And now we

914
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:43,080
Speaker 14: have old social media accounts tumbler and x from when

915
00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:45,239
Speaker 14: she was a young adult. They range from the age

916
00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:48,680
Speaker 14: of fifteen to twenty, where she basically posts all of

917
00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:52,040
Speaker 14: these images celebrating terrorists. One of them is a woman

918
00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:55,239
Speaker 14: named Leila Khalid. She was a Palestinian terrorist for the

919
00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:57,440
Speaker 14: Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.

920
00:50:57,440 --> 00:50:58,719
Speaker 4: It's a US.

921
00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:02,000
Speaker 14: Designated terrorist organization, and she is famous for being the

922
00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:05,399
Speaker 14: first woman to ever hijack a plane. So she broke

923
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:08,719
Speaker 14: that Palestinian glass ceiling in nineteen sixty nine and again

924
00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:11,640
Speaker 14: in nineteen seventy. In nineteen seventy she stormed the cockpit

925
00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:16,399
Speaker 14: of an l AL flight with a grenade, and she Ramaduaji,

926
00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:19,240
Speaker 14: at the age of twenty, posted an image of her

927
00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:21,840
Speaker 14: with this woman's famous line, I'm willing to die for

928
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:24,759
Speaker 14: whatever my cause requires me, or something to that effect.

929
00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:27,839
Speaker 14: There was another image of a woman named Shadhiya Ghazala,

930
00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:32,279
Speaker 14: and she was a Palestinian terrorist, also for that same

931
00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:35,520
Speaker 14: terrorist organization that made bombs, and she was actually killed

932
00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:38,479
Speaker 14: when a bomb she was making exploded in her home

933
00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:44,480
Speaker 14: and Zoron Mamdanni's wife reposted tweets on ex celebrating her.

934
00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:47,759
Speaker 14: And then she also just casually used the N word

935
00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:53,040
Speaker 14: and used slurs about gay people and also said white

936
00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:54,280
Speaker 14: people invented al Qaeda.

937
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:55,040
Speaker 4: It was just a.

938
00:51:54,960 --> 00:52:00,919
Speaker 14: Stream of insane, nonsensical ramblings, pro terrorist ramblings, and sooner

939
00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:05,799
Speaker 14: or later, like it becomes inescapable that she supports terrorism.

940
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:08,160
Speaker 14: And these are not one offs, and these are not

941
00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:09,919
Speaker 14: things she just did in her youth, because they align

942
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:12,480
Speaker 14: with her views today and certainly it appears the views

943
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:14,520
Speaker 14: of her husband now.

944
00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:17,239
Speaker 1: Are there any denials of any of this coming out

945
00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:19,879
Speaker 1: of Gracie Mansion, or have they pretty much admitted yeah,

946
00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:20,319
Speaker 1: it's her.

947
00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:24,040
Speaker 14: Well, they haven't said a word to me. I gave

948
00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:26,840
Speaker 14: them three and a half hours to comment. They ignored me.

949
00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:29,359
Speaker 14: They haven't said a word today at all.

950
00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:29,719
Speaker 7: Mom.

951
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:32,880
Speaker 14: Donnie just had a press conference talking about the creation

952
00:52:32,960 --> 00:52:36,520
Speaker 14: of his Department of Community Safety, which is his social

953
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:40,720
Speaker 14: worker squad to replace the police. Many reporters ask questions,

954
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:44,920
Speaker 14: not a single question about this issue. And it just

955
00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:46,919
Speaker 14: goes to show you that the media in New York

956
00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:50,640
Speaker 14: City is just just regime media. It's far left progressive,

957
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:53,120
Speaker 14: every single outlet from top to bottom. And you know,

958
00:52:53,160 --> 00:52:55,040
Speaker 14: he has control over who he calls on. So he

959
00:52:55,040 --> 00:52:57,200
Speaker 14: didn't get a question about this, and it was just

960
00:52:57,239 --> 00:53:00,040
Speaker 14: a disgraceful performance by my former.

961
00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:01,080
Speaker 4: In that city.

962
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:05,520
Speaker 1: Now, some people say, well, look, she's not elected, this

963
00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:07,759
Speaker 1: is just a spouse, and she was young and so

964
00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:09,520
Speaker 1: on and so forth, so why don't we just leave

965
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:11,719
Speaker 1: her alone. But I gotta tell you, John, I'm old

966
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:16,520
Speaker 1: enough to remember when they were trying to impeach Justice

967
00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:19,879
Speaker 1: Samuel Alito because his wife hung up a flag of

968
00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:22,560
Speaker 1: something that George Washington used as a symbol during the

969
00:53:22,560 --> 00:53:27,120
Speaker 1: Revolutionary War, they had story after story after story about

970
00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:30,920
Speaker 1: this flag on their porch, and then Alexandria Ocassio Cortes

971
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:36,560
Speaker 1: herself filed articles of impeachment against Justice Alito. My view

972
00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:39,239
Speaker 1: is this is fair game, because I think, as you

973
00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:42,319
Speaker 1: pointed out, these are her views. Mom Donnie has never

974
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:44,960
Speaker 1: really shied away from these views. These posts that you've

975
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:47,759
Speaker 1: uncovered tell us a lot, a lot about how they

976
00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:49,920
Speaker 1: see the world, don't they thank Scott?

977
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:50,480
Speaker 4: I I.

978
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:54,399
Speaker 14: If this was a Republican I mean, do I even

979
00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:57,799
Speaker 14: need to finish that sentence? And obviously the Alito, the

980
00:53:57,800 --> 00:54:00,799
Speaker 14: invention was very valid for River, the Covington kids, the

981
00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:06,960
Speaker 14: poor child, and they killed him for that. I remember

982
00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:11,759
Speaker 14: one of the Parkland shooting survivors, Kyle Kashu, also as

983
00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:15,160
Speaker 14: a young teenager fifteen sixteen years old, had private messages

984
00:54:15,239 --> 00:54:18,280
Speaker 14: where he used the N word. Harvard rescinded his admission,

985
00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:21,239
Speaker 14: rescinded his admission. These people give no grades to the

986
00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:23,920
Speaker 14: other side, none whatsoever. And I'm not in the business

987
00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:25,040
Speaker 14: of extending grace there.

988
00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:28,560
Speaker 1: Well, you are in the business of uncovering the facts

989
00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:32,320
Speaker 1: and uncovering information that other reporters and media outlets refuse

990
00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:33,840
Speaker 1: to cover, and that's why we have you on the

991
00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:36,520
Speaker 1: show and we're grateful for you. That is John Levine,

992
00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:40,600
Speaker 1: Washington Free Beacon. The story is Mom Donnie's wife celebrated

993
00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:44,359
Speaker 1: Palestinian terrorist dot dot dot. Look it up on the

994
00:54:44,480 --> 00:54:48,800
Speaker 1: Washington Freebeacon. We're gonna take a break. Thanks for being here, John.

995
00:54:48,880 --> 00:54:51,960
Speaker 1: When we come back, the latest on the NCAA scoreboard.

996
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:54,880
Speaker 1: It's wild already, and we've got more news after this

997
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:56,080
Speaker 1: on the Scott Jenning Show.

998
00:54:56,440 --> 00:55:00,680
Speaker 2: No for America's favorite Punda. It's Scott Jenning.

999
00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:05,800
Speaker 1: Okay. We have our first final in the NCAA Tournament today. TCU,

1000
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:09,600
Speaker 1: the nine seed has defeated Ohio State by two points,

1001
00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:12,440
Speaker 1: sixty six sixty four, a barn burner of a game

1002
00:55:12,920 --> 00:55:15,439
Speaker 1: to get the tournament rolling at the half. Louisville eed's

1003
00:55:15,480 --> 00:55:18,040
Speaker 1: South Florida thirty seven to twenty seven. At the half

1004
00:55:18,080 --> 00:55:21,640
Speaker 1: Wisconsin by two over high point. That's a five twelve game,

1005
00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:25,040
Speaker 1: forty one thirty nine in favor of Wisconsin, nearly done

1006
00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:29,760
Speaker 1: over on the Nebraska Troy tilt and Nebraska crushing Troy

1027
00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:33,560
Speaker 1: if we all go together. It's a Scotch Sheenning show

1028
00:56:33,560 --> 00:56:36,279
Speaker 1: on Salem We're on Thursday, March the nineteenth here and

1029
00:56:36,960 --> 00:56:40,800
Speaker 1: more education talk, and this is important. A recent Gallup

1030
00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:44,520
Speaker 1: poll found that confidence in higher education has fallen from

1031
00:56:44,560 --> 00:56:47,879
Speaker 1: fifty seven percent in twenty fifteen to just thirty six

1032
00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:50,600
Speaker 1: percent a couple of years ago. At the same time,

1033
00:56:50,880 --> 00:56:53,440
Speaker 1: only thirty five percent of Americans now say that a

1034
00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:57,080
Speaker 1: college degree is very important. That is down from seventy

1035
00:56:57,120 --> 00:57:01,760
Speaker 1: five percent in twenty ten. Many people believe and are correct,

1036
00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:05,600
Speaker 1: that liberal politics and ideologies have taken over our campuses.

1037
00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:09,240
Speaker 1: You know, in nineteen ninety five, the liberal to conservative

1038
00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:13,040
Speaker 1: faculty ratio was two to one. Now it's like six

1039
00:57:13,120 --> 00:57:16,760
Speaker 1: to one, and the rigor on these traditional campuses is

1040
00:57:16,760 --> 00:57:20,520
Speaker 1: all but gone. Students now study roughly twelve to fourteen

1041
00:57:20,560 --> 00:57:22,800
Speaker 1: hours a week. In the nineteen sixties, it was twenty

1042
00:57:22,800 --> 00:57:26,080
Speaker 1: four hours a week at Harvard and Yale. Eighty plus

1043
00:57:26,080 --> 00:57:30,200
Speaker 1: percent of all grades are now a minus or above. However,

1044
00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:32,960
Speaker 1: there is good news, and that's what I want to

1045
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:36,400
Speaker 1: talk to you about today. There are people taking action

1046
00:57:36,600 --> 00:57:41,680
Speaker 1: to reverse these trends and founded in twenty twenty one

1047
00:57:41,800 --> 00:57:45,360
Speaker 1: rather by Niall Ferguson, Joe Lonsdale, Barry Weiss and a

1048
00:57:45,400 --> 00:57:48,560
Speaker 1: few others. One of those things is the University of Austin,

1049
00:57:49,080 --> 00:57:52,640
Speaker 1: and it is taking a new approach to reverse all

1050
00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:55,520
Speaker 1: of these trends in higher education, going back to basics,

1051
00:57:55,720 --> 00:58:00,240
Speaker 1: focusing on outcomes and success and not in doctrination. The

1052
00:58:00,320 --> 00:58:02,760
Speaker 1: University of Austin, in our opinion here at the Scott

1053
00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:07,160
Speaker 1: Shenning Show, is creating a new path for higher education.

1054
00:58:07,360 --> 00:58:09,640
Speaker 1: And joining us now is the President of the University

1055
00:58:09,680 --> 00:58:13,760
Speaker 1: of Austin, Carlos Carvallo. Carlos, good to see you, my friend.

1056
00:58:13,800 --> 00:58:15,200
Speaker 1: Welcome into the Scott Shenning Show.

1057
00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:17,720
Speaker 4: Thanks for having me. Scott.

1058
00:58:18,760 --> 00:58:22,720
Speaker 1: Really glad you're here because your story is incredible. You

1059
00:58:22,840 --> 00:58:27,600
Speaker 1: had a tenured endowed position at one of the wealthiest

1060
00:58:27,840 --> 00:58:31,520
Speaker 1: public universities in America, and you blew it all up

1061
00:58:31,560 --> 00:58:34,960
Speaker 1: to come run a startup university, the University of Austin,

1062
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:37,000
Speaker 1: with one hundred and fifty kids. Tell us why you

1063
00:58:37,040 --> 00:58:37,479
Speaker 1: did it.

1064
00:58:39,680 --> 00:58:39,960
Speaker 11: Well?

1065
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:43,600
Speaker 4: After many years of being inside of an ideological monoculture

1066
00:58:43,640 --> 00:58:46,000
Speaker 4: that creates as I was looking at your previous segment

1067
00:58:46,040 --> 00:58:49,040
Speaker 4: that creates the product of that are the Zohamndanis and

1068
00:58:49,120 --> 00:58:52,080
Speaker 4: his wife's of the world. Right, I was tired and

1069
00:58:52,120 --> 00:58:54,880
Speaker 4: it was clear to me that reform from inside was

1070
00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:59,480
Speaker 4: very difficult. Those are very blowed administrative bureaucracies. That becomes

1071
00:58:59,560 --> 00:59:02,360
Speaker 4: incredibly difficult to change a maneuver. So the opportunity to

1072
00:59:02,400 --> 00:59:05,760
Speaker 4: try to build a new from scratch, focusing on the

1073
00:59:06,080 --> 00:59:08,760
Speaker 4: things that really matter, focusing on what the universes are about,

1074
00:59:09,160 --> 00:59:11,240
Speaker 4: was too much of a was too great of an

1075
00:59:11,240 --> 00:59:12,200
Speaker 4: opportunity to pass.

1076
00:59:13,360 --> 00:59:16,680
Speaker 1: Your family history is really interesting to me. Your father

1077
00:59:16,920 --> 00:59:20,720
Speaker 1: was a Brazilian Navy officer who fought the communists, and

1078
00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:24,920
Speaker 1: you have said that that experience shaped your worldview. Tell

1079
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:27,800
Speaker 1: us about that. Tell us how that experience led you

1080
00:59:27,880 --> 00:59:29,000
Speaker 1: to where you are today.

1081
00:59:30,920 --> 00:59:32,600
Speaker 4: I mean, if you grew up in the eighties in

1082
00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:35,240
Speaker 4: Brazil at a time where where and to this day

1083
00:59:35,320 --> 00:59:38,080
Speaker 4: Brazil still fights many elements of socialism and so on.

1084
00:59:38,480 --> 00:59:40,439
Speaker 4: But you know, in the eighties was a time where

1085
00:59:40,600 --> 00:59:44,120
Speaker 4: things were really serious on that Tepentans and eighties, and

1086
00:59:44,200 --> 00:59:46,680
Speaker 4: America was always this finnacle of hope for us, right

1087
00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:50,080
Speaker 4: So in a family that was directly involved on trying

1088
00:59:50,120 --> 00:59:54,680
Speaker 4: to fight these forces, America was an example to follow.

1089
00:59:55,720 --> 00:59:58,120
Speaker 4: It was something that symbolized what was possible in the world,

1090
00:59:58,520 --> 01:00:00,000
Speaker 4: and in some ways, by the end of the eighties

1091
01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:03,880
Speaker 4: is when it seemed like we had one. And eventually

1092
01:00:03,880 --> 01:00:06,280
Speaker 4: I find myself with the opportunity to come to America.

1093
01:00:06,320 --> 01:00:08,880
Speaker 4: I was like, Okay, that's it, right, we won. The

1094
01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:10,960
Speaker 4: good ideas of the world have won. I get to

1095
01:00:10,960 --> 01:00:13,040
Speaker 4: go to America now, and this is going to be fantastic.

1096
01:00:13,520 --> 01:00:15,919
Speaker 4: And many years later I find myself finding the same

1097
01:00:15,960 --> 01:00:19,880
Speaker 4: type of battles inside of the America Great Greatest institutions,

1098
01:00:19,880 --> 01:00:22,360
Speaker 4: which was a very discouraging thing. And I think that

1099
01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:25,240
Speaker 4: gives me even extra motivation to be fighting the fight

1100
01:00:25,240 --> 01:00:28,160
Speaker 4: that we're in right now. The notion that I seen

1101
01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:31,959
Speaker 4: more closely than most Americans what the results are of

1102
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:35,880
Speaker 4: this terrible ideology that permeates our institutions.

1103
01:00:37,040 --> 01:00:39,080
Speaker 1: You and I had a chance, Carlos to talk about

1104
01:00:39,080 --> 01:00:42,479
Speaker 1: how it works at the University of Austin the other day.

1105
01:00:42,560 --> 01:00:45,320
Speaker 1: I was amazed at all of it, all of what

1106
01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:47,919
Speaker 1: you were telling me. First of all, when a kid

1107
01:00:47,960 --> 01:00:52,240
Speaker 1: applies to the University of Austin, the application takes four minutes.

1108
01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:55,560
Speaker 1: There's no essays or resumes. All you do is consider

1109
01:00:55,720 --> 01:00:59,080
Speaker 1: test scores, and that's how you decide the one hundred

1110
01:00:59,080 --> 01:01:00,560
Speaker 1: and fifty kids that are kind of come to the

1111
01:01:00,640 --> 01:01:03,720
Speaker 1: University of Austin, tell us about that method, is it working?

1112
01:01:03,720 --> 01:01:06,080
Speaker 1: What kind of test scores were talking about here on campus.

1113
01:01:07,760 --> 01:01:10,040
Speaker 4: So right now we're looking for two things. We look

1114
01:01:10,080 --> 01:01:14,080
Speaker 4: at the SATs, CLTS and ACTS standard tests the most

1115
01:01:14,160 --> 01:01:16,920
Speaker 4: high school kids in America who take. We also look

1116
01:01:16,960 --> 01:01:19,600
Speaker 4: at at AP scores if you had some, but we

1117
01:01:19,640 --> 01:01:21,920
Speaker 4: have an automatic threshold. If you are above a certain

1118
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:24,800
Speaker 4: level in any of those tests, you're in automatically, no

1119
01:01:24,960 --> 01:01:27,240
Speaker 4: questions asked, we give you a decision right away. So

1120
01:01:27,240 --> 01:01:30,200
Speaker 4: why we're doing this, We're looking for the most talented period.

1121
01:01:30,400 --> 01:01:32,919
Speaker 4: We don't want to we don't want to encourage kids

1122
01:01:32,960 --> 01:01:36,040
Speaker 4: to massage their cvs, to be spending time with consultants,

1123
01:01:36,240 --> 01:01:38,720
Speaker 4: spending time in their four years of high school trying

1124
01:01:38,720 --> 01:01:42,560
Speaker 4: to pad uh uh doa in order to convince a

1125
01:01:42,680 --> 01:01:45,400
Speaker 4: college over many different You know, it's just like something

1126
01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:48,240
Speaker 4: that became a terrible situation for lots and lots of

1127
01:01:48,280 --> 01:01:50,600
Speaker 4: young adults in the country going through the experience. Right, So,

1128
01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:52,600
Speaker 4: we want to make sure that we send the signal

1129
01:01:52,640 --> 01:01:55,000
Speaker 4: to the world that all that matters is your skills.

1130
01:01:55,120 --> 01:01:57,360
Speaker 4: I don't want to know anything else. And of course,

1131
01:01:57,480 --> 01:02:00,360
Speaker 4: if you love what we're doing. Come and that's basically

1132
01:02:00,360 --> 01:02:02,720
Speaker 4: one reason why we want to be very explicit about

1133
01:02:02,960 --> 01:02:06,080
Speaker 4: what we are and how we're doing this. So we

1134
01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:08,840
Speaker 4: are an institution that is first and foremost very patriotic.

1135
01:02:09,240 --> 01:02:11,160
Speaker 4: We are a vision is that we are here to

1136
01:02:11,200 --> 01:02:14,280
Speaker 4: help educate the citizens and leaders they'll take America into

1137
01:02:14,320 --> 01:02:16,480
Speaker 4: the next two hundred and fifty years of greatness. So

1138
01:02:16,480 --> 01:02:18,160
Speaker 4: that's it. So if you believe to be one of

1139
01:02:18,200 --> 01:02:20,520
Speaker 4: those people, come join us. And all I need to

1140
01:02:20,520 --> 01:02:23,640
Speaker 4: know at that point is how strong and how ready

1141
01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:25,520
Speaker 4: you are for the challenge that we're going to put

1142
01:02:25,720 --> 01:02:29,120
Speaker 4: in front of you. And that challenge, as you're referencing

1143
01:02:29,120 --> 01:02:32,320
Speaker 4: in your creamble, it's going to be challenging because we're

1144
01:02:32,320 --> 01:02:35,919
Speaker 4: now going to be tolerating twelve hours of study a week.

1145
01:02:35,960 --> 01:02:38,280
Speaker 4: We're aiming for fifty hours of study a week. We're

1146
01:02:38,480 --> 01:02:41,920
Speaker 4: bringing back rigor and the puremidtocratic system that used to

1147
01:02:41,920 --> 01:02:45,040
Speaker 4: be the standard in colleges in America.

1148
01:02:45,160 --> 01:02:48,400
Speaker 1: You are finding these kids, the smartest kids, with the

1149
01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:52,800
Speaker 1: best test scores. You're putting them through a rigorous academic environment.

1150
01:02:53,520 --> 01:02:58,360
Speaker 1: Your agnostic of politics here. You care about American exceptionalism,

1151
01:02:58,440 --> 01:03:02,040
Speaker 1: which is a rare attitude or a rare goal I

1152
01:03:02,080 --> 01:03:05,600
Speaker 1: think for higher education in the United States right now.

1153
01:03:05,640 --> 01:03:09,560
Speaker 1: And interestingly, you let one of these kids in no tuition,

1154
01:03:10,680 --> 01:03:13,960
Speaker 1: you take no government money. Tell me how that model works,

1155
01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:15,760
Speaker 1: by the way, because you get the kids with the

1156
01:03:15,760 --> 01:03:17,960
Speaker 1: great test scores, they don't have to pay any tuition.

1157
01:03:18,400 --> 01:03:21,120
Speaker 1: They come to Austin and they get this amazing education.

1158
01:03:21,520 --> 01:03:23,400
Speaker 1: How does it work financially for you?

1159
01:03:25,080 --> 01:03:27,200
Speaker 4: So our vision is that we want to make sure

1160
01:03:27,240 --> 01:03:30,240
Speaker 4: that the most talent income, no matter their level of

1161
01:03:30,520 --> 01:03:32,880
Speaker 4: financial success in life, they cannot afford or anything like that.

1162
01:03:32,960 --> 01:03:34,960
Speaker 4: Right so we want everybody with the best in But

1163
01:03:35,400 --> 01:03:38,880
Speaker 4: rather reason for our approach to be a free tuition

1164
01:03:38,960 --> 01:03:41,040
Speaker 4: institution is that we don't see this as giving them

1165
01:03:41,200 --> 01:03:44,080
Speaker 4: the education for free. We see this as an investment

1166
01:03:44,120 --> 01:03:47,360
Speaker 4: in them. Our model works if they accrue the value

1167
01:03:47,360 --> 01:03:50,280
Speaker 4: of our education in the future. We hope those supporters

1168
01:03:50,280 --> 01:03:52,200
Speaker 4: in the future. That's how this model is going to work.

1169
01:03:52,240 --> 01:03:54,600
Speaker 4: Right I would need their help financially in the future,

1170
01:03:54,920 --> 01:03:57,160
Speaker 4: but right now, I don't want them to pay ahead

1171
01:03:57,160 --> 01:04:01,080
Speaker 4: of time without accruing the value that wonderful education that

1172
01:04:01,120 --> 01:04:03,800
Speaker 4: we believe is going to be very valuable to them

1173
01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:06,920
Speaker 4: provides them with the success that we hope that they'll achieve. Right,

1174
01:04:06,960 --> 01:04:10,280
Speaker 4: So this aligned the incentives between the university and the students.

1175
01:04:10,640 --> 01:04:12,480
Speaker 4: My job is to make sure and that's why again

1176
01:04:12,560 --> 01:04:14,400
Speaker 4: I can for I can put them through a rigorous

1177
01:04:14,480 --> 01:04:16,800
Speaker 4: education because I'm going to tell them, Listen, this is

1178
01:04:16,840 --> 01:04:18,760
Speaker 4: good for me as well, not only for you, but

1179
01:04:18,840 --> 01:04:20,680
Speaker 4: I know it's good for me because that's going to

1180
01:04:20,760 --> 01:04:22,560
Speaker 4: help you succeed in the future. And that's what I

1181
01:04:22,600 --> 01:04:24,960
Speaker 4: need from you, because my success in the future is

1182
01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:27,640
Speaker 4: your success in the future. So we're the only university

1183
01:04:27,640 --> 01:04:29,560
Speaker 4: that can say that right now, right we're not charging

1184
01:04:29,600 --> 01:04:31,960
Speaker 4: anybody one hundred thousand dollars to attend our campus, and

1185
01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:35,160
Speaker 4: we're very thankful to have a number of supporters in

1186
01:04:35,200 --> 01:04:38,200
Speaker 4: the philanthropic side that allows us to build this bridge

1187
01:04:38,280 --> 01:04:41,000
Speaker 4: between now and the time where we have enough graduates

1188
01:04:41,160 --> 01:04:44,080
Speaker 4: and enough success in their lives in order to support

1189
01:04:44,080 --> 01:04:44,960
Speaker 4: this thing going forward.

1190
01:04:46,200 --> 01:04:48,480
Speaker 1: That voice you're hearing on the Scott Jenning Show is

1191
01:04:48,560 --> 01:04:52,480
Speaker 1: the president of the University of Austin, Carlos Carvallo. Now, Carlos,

1192
01:04:52,640 --> 01:04:54,360
Speaker 1: you got one hundred and fifty kids. This is a

1193
01:04:54,400 --> 01:04:57,880
Speaker 1: true startup idea. You've got some really impressive names that

1194
01:04:57,920 --> 01:05:00,520
Speaker 1: are backing you. When you get these kids on campus,

1195
01:05:00,520 --> 01:05:03,480
Speaker 1: these smart kids with these great test scores, what kind

1196
01:05:03,600 --> 01:05:07,000
Speaker 1: of educational environment are they in. They're in classes and

1197
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:09,440
Speaker 1: they're encountering people from the real world. Give us an

1198
01:05:09,480 --> 01:05:12,520
Speaker 1: idea of their experience that's going to prepare them for

1199
01:05:12,600 --> 01:05:13,720
Speaker 1: life after university.

1200
01:05:15,200 --> 01:05:18,080
Speaker 4: Right. So, one of the pillars of our education is

1201
01:05:18,400 --> 01:05:21,480
Speaker 4: a very strong core curriculum grounded on the ideas of

1202
01:05:21,480 --> 01:05:23,800
Speaker 4: Western civilization. So students have to go through a very

1203
01:05:24,160 --> 01:05:27,840
Speaker 4: very serious Great Books curriculum where they explore the journey

1204
01:05:27,880 --> 01:05:30,400
Speaker 4: of the West all the way to the combination of

1205
01:05:30,440 --> 01:05:35,000
Speaker 4: the American faunding. So that's not it's a great broad

1206
01:05:35,120 --> 01:05:37,800
Speaker 4: education that we view as a necessary condition for one

1207
01:05:37,840 --> 01:05:40,520
Speaker 4: to be successful in a world that's ever changing. Right, So,

1208
01:05:40,560 --> 01:05:43,080
Speaker 4: a great understanding of where we stand as a civilization's

1209
01:05:43,120 --> 01:05:45,360
Speaker 4: part of it. At the same time, they're being educated

1210
01:05:45,360 --> 01:05:48,240
Speaker 4: in economics, they're being educated in quantitative methods, they're being

1211
01:05:48,360 --> 01:05:51,280
Speaker 4: educated in computer science. So we're providing them with the

1212
01:05:51,360 --> 01:05:55,400
Speaker 4: modern tools they're needed for a modern citizen to succeed

1213
01:05:55,480 --> 01:05:58,280
Speaker 4: in the real world. That goes alongside with a lot

1214
01:05:58,320 --> 01:06:00,360
Speaker 4: of freedom for them to explore their own pack. So

1215
01:06:00,400 --> 01:06:03,880
Speaker 4: we have not only passion, but their goals. Right, So

1216
01:06:04,160 --> 01:06:06,920
Speaker 4: we have what we call the Polaris Project, which is

1217
01:06:06,960 --> 01:06:09,680
Speaker 4: something that allows students to from the very beginning of

1218
01:06:09,720 --> 01:06:13,440
Speaker 4: their experience to start building stout preparing themselves to what

1219
01:06:13,480 --> 01:06:14,959
Speaker 4: it is that they want to do next in life,

1220
01:06:15,120 --> 01:06:18,480
Speaker 4: and that could be various things. Start a company, get

1221
01:06:18,480 --> 01:06:21,280
Speaker 4: a job, go to the military, become a teacher, become

1222
01:06:21,280 --> 01:06:23,800
Speaker 4: a journalist, become a lawyer. And in each one of

1223
01:06:23,840 --> 01:06:27,520
Speaker 4: those situations, we try to provide them with apprenticeships, mentorships,

1224
01:06:27,600 --> 01:06:30,240
Speaker 4: exposure to the real world to get them really ready

1225
01:06:30,400 --> 01:06:33,440
Speaker 4: for the next step. Now, again going back to our

1226
01:06:33,480 --> 01:06:36,720
Speaker 4: financial model, I am fully vested in getting them really

1227
01:06:36,760 --> 01:06:39,040
Speaker 4: ready for the next step, right, So I cannot afford

1228
01:06:39,360 --> 01:06:42,680
Speaker 4: to waste their time while in college provide them with

1229
01:06:42,720 --> 01:06:44,720
Speaker 4: an education that's not going to be really useful for

1230
01:06:44,760 --> 01:06:46,480
Speaker 4: them in order to take the next step. So it's

1231
01:06:46,520 --> 01:06:49,680
Speaker 4: a combination of a classical education with a very practical

1232
01:06:49,880 --> 01:06:51,440
Speaker 4: preparation for the real world.

1233
01:06:51,520 --> 01:06:55,080
Speaker 1: In Day one, Carlos, we got about thirty seconds here.

1234
01:06:55,120 --> 01:06:58,960
Speaker 1: If a parent out there has an ambitious, smart, sixteen

1235
01:06:59,080 --> 01:07:01,760
Speaker 1: seventeen year old, where do they find you on the internet?

1236
01:07:01,840 --> 01:07:02,640
Speaker 1: What do they do next?

1237
01:07:04,200 --> 01:07:07,320
Speaker 4: So they go to you Austin dot org. That's our website,

1238
01:07:07,400 --> 01:07:09,960
Speaker 4: You Austin dot org. As you said, takes a four

1239
01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:12,720
Speaker 4: minutes to apply to our school. We're looking for great students,

1240
01:07:12,760 --> 01:07:15,880
Speaker 4: great patriotic students that want to join this rebellion that

1241
01:07:15,920 --> 01:07:19,560
Speaker 4: we like to call ourselves. You get the answer within

1242
01:07:19,640 --> 01:07:22,240
Speaker 4: minutes perhaps or if you're not a day, whether you're

1243
01:07:22,240 --> 01:07:25,360
Speaker 4: got in or not. And remember it's free. So all

1244
01:07:25,440 --> 01:07:27,000
Speaker 4: you need to do is to tell me a few

1245
01:07:27,000 --> 01:07:29,120
Speaker 4: things about you and hopefully to see you in Austin.

1246
01:07:30,160 --> 01:07:32,920
Speaker 1: Carlos Carlo, the President of the University of Austin. You

1247
01:07:33,120 --> 01:07:37,200
Speaker 1: at X. In our parlance, it is Ustin dot org.

1248
01:07:37,320 --> 01:07:40,880
Speaker 1: This is a really fascinating experiment and it's really changing

1249
01:07:40,920 --> 01:07:43,560
Speaker 1: I think the game in higher education. Carlos will look

1250
01:07:43,560 --> 01:07:45,880
Speaker 1: forward to having you back in the near future. We're

1251
01:07:45,880 --> 01:07:48,080
Speaker 1: going to take a quick break. First, a word from

1252
01:07:48,160 --> 01:07:51,600
Speaker 1: our partners at the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.

1253
01:07:51,640 --> 01:07:54,560
Speaker 1: They are taking care of the most vulnerable in the

1254
01:07:54,600 --> 01:07:58,640
Speaker 1: Holy Land is Operation Epic Fury rages Operation Roaring Lion

1255
01:07:58,800 --> 01:08:02,480
Speaker 1: from Israel. Missiles are falling, people are going to bomb shelters.

1256
01:08:02,800 --> 01:08:07,400
Speaker 1: They need emergency essentials, life saving food. First, aid. The

1257
01:08:07,440 --> 01:08:10,160
Speaker 1: people who are most vulnerable here, the sick, the elderly,

1258
01:08:10,360 --> 01:08:14,160
Speaker 1: children and families. They depend on the Fellowship and they

1259
01:08:14,160 --> 01:08:17,280
Speaker 1: depend on us to stand in prayerful support of the

1260
01:08:17,320 --> 01:08:20,679
Speaker 1: Fellowship and of the Jewish people, and to stand with Israel.

1261
01:08:21,000 --> 01:08:25,439
Speaker 1: I would recommend to go to support IFCJ dot org

1262
01:08:25,600 --> 01:08:30,400
Speaker 1: SUPPORTIFCJ dot org stand with the people of Israel as

1263
01:08:30,439 --> 01:08:34,599
Speaker 1: they face down these Iranian terrorists. Today, one more block

1264
01:08:34,680 --> 01:08:37,439
Speaker 1: to go. TSA airport chaos. We'll look at it next

1265
01:08:37,439 --> 01:08:38,439
Speaker 1: on the Scott Jennings Show.

1266
01:08:38,439 --> 01:08:41,720
Speaker 2: Styles at least don the Oval Office are owning the

1267
01:08:41,800 --> 01:08:45,719
Speaker 2: libs on CNN. He's here with us. It's the Scott

1268
01:08:45,840 --> 01:08:46,759
Speaker 2: Jennings Show.

1269
01:08:47,840 --> 01:08:51,360
Speaker 1: It is Thursday, March nineteenth, Home stretch of common sense

1270
01:08:51,400 --> 01:08:54,080
Speaker 1: for the American people. And we are getting reports from

1271
01:08:54,120 --> 01:08:59,960
Speaker 1: across America. Airports are in chaos in many states across

1272
01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:02,960
Speaker 1: US this country. We have TSA lines out the door

1273
01:09:03,040 --> 01:09:06,640
Speaker 1: in some places flights are being delayed. And to discuss

1274
01:09:06,800 --> 01:09:10,280
Speaker 1: where we stand with this chaos caused by the Democrats

1275
01:09:10,400 --> 01:09:14,000
Speaker 1: keeping the Department of Homeland Security shut down. Our guest

1276
01:09:14,080 --> 01:09:18,000
Speaker 1: is the Deputy Administrator and Chief of Staff of the

1277
01:09:18,040 --> 01:09:19,439
Speaker 1: TSA in Washington.

1278
01:09:19,520 --> 01:09:19,760
Speaker 4: D c.

1279
01:09:20,479 --> 01:09:23,679
Speaker 1: His name is Adam Stall. Adam, welcome into the Scott

1280
01:09:23,720 --> 01:09:26,960
Speaker 1: Jenning Show. Thank you for keeping America updated. Give us

1281
01:09:26,960 --> 01:09:29,400
Speaker 1: an up to the minute report. What's going on in

1282
01:09:29,439 --> 01:09:32,320
Speaker 1: the airports right now? What do travelers need to know

1283
01:09:33,040 --> 01:09:35,639
Speaker 1: as long as the Department of Homeland Security is shut down?

1284
01:09:36,760 --> 01:09:36,960
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1285
01:09:36,960 --> 01:09:39,120
Speaker 9: Well, first off to Scott, thanks so much for having me.

1286
01:09:39,200 --> 01:09:41,479
Speaker 9: It's great to be here. So the current state of

1287
01:09:41,520 --> 01:09:45,439
Speaker 9: the aviation security system is challenging. I'm not going to

1288
01:09:45,439 --> 01:09:50,040
Speaker 9: sugarcoat it. We're seeing substantial impacts to wait times across

1289
01:09:50,040 --> 01:09:54,280
Speaker 9: the United States. The security and authority of the security

1290
01:09:55,360 --> 01:09:58,639
Speaker 9: screening system is very much intact, but we are seeing

1291
01:09:58,640 --> 01:10:01,560
Speaker 9: significant pain and inconvenient. It's when it comes to waytimes,

1292
01:10:01,600 --> 01:10:05,960
Speaker 9: three four hour waytimes at airports like Houston, Hobby, Atlanta,

1293
01:10:06,520 --> 01:10:09,839
Speaker 9: JFK in a cross ecosystem at large. So it's definitely

1294
01:10:10,080 --> 01:10:12,200
Speaker 9: a problematic and it's certainly going to get worse before

1295
01:10:12,240 --> 01:10:15,519
Speaker 9: it gets better. Off Congress specifically, I set a Democrats

1296
01:10:15,560 --> 01:10:16,960
Speaker 9: to your point, do not act soon.

1297
01:10:18,080 --> 01:10:20,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're in day thirty three of this shutdown. So

1298
01:10:20,560 --> 01:10:24,120
Speaker 1: if you're a traveler out there right now, I mean,

1299
01:10:24,200 --> 01:10:28,479
Speaker 1: do you have any advanced warning about whether your home

1300
01:10:28,560 --> 01:10:31,519
Speaker 1: airport is going to be bad on any certain day.

1301
01:10:31,560 --> 01:10:33,360
Speaker 1: I mean, are you all publishing any kind of real

1302
01:10:33,400 --> 01:10:36,759
Speaker 1: time data about TSA lines? I mean, I think it's

1303
01:10:36,800 --> 01:10:38,599
Speaker 1: possible you could show up at the airport and it's fine,

1304
01:10:38,600 --> 01:10:40,800
Speaker 1: But it's also possible you could show up and you know,

1305
01:10:40,840 --> 01:10:42,679
Speaker 1: there could be a line out to the parking garage,

1306
01:10:42,680 --> 01:10:44,920
Speaker 1: which is what happened to me at LaGuardia the other day.

1307
01:10:45,360 --> 01:10:47,479
Speaker 1: Is it just sort of random or do you have

1308
01:10:47,520 --> 01:10:49,599
Speaker 1: advanced warning about airports that are going to be really

1309
01:10:49,680 --> 01:10:50,880
Speaker 1: suffering at any given time.

1310
01:10:51,920 --> 01:10:54,240
Speaker 9: Yeah, So we're doing everything we can to kind of

1311
01:10:54,240 --> 01:10:58,799
Speaker 9: really signal pride that information to specific airport, specific airport

1312
01:10:58,840 --> 01:11:02,280
Speaker 9: authorities and care years also, and so a lot of

1313
01:11:02,479 --> 01:11:05,599
Speaker 9: folks that are traveling with the large airlines, they'll receive

1314
01:11:05,880 --> 01:11:08,759
Speaker 9: intermittent updates in terms of the way times, but also

1315
01:11:08,800 --> 01:11:12,360
Speaker 9: if you know, they'll have websites, particularly for each airport,

1316
01:11:12,400 --> 01:11:14,519
Speaker 9: they'll have way times kind of in real time, but

1317
01:11:14,560 --> 01:11:17,200
Speaker 9: it will very much very airport by airport. We're doing

1318
01:11:17,280 --> 01:11:19,639
Speaker 9: the best that we can, but kind of to your point,

1319
01:11:20,000 --> 01:11:22,719
Speaker 9: these numbers are so fluid and unpredictable. There are days

1320
01:11:23,120 --> 01:11:26,080
Speaker 9: where we can track pretty accurately but there are definite

1321
01:11:26,120 --> 01:11:28,960
Speaker 9: sudden spikes that are unpredictable as well, So it's hard

1322
01:11:29,000 --> 01:11:30,519
Speaker 9: to predict when people are going to call out or

1323
01:11:30,560 --> 01:11:32,960
Speaker 9: knock call out. So again we're doing the best we can,

1324
01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:35,160
Speaker 9: but it's certainly an imperfect science.

1325
01:11:36,320 --> 01:11:39,559
Speaker 1: So these TSA agents and I encounter them all the time.

1326
01:11:39,920 --> 01:11:42,719
Speaker 1: They've now missed two paychecks. They'll soon miss a third

1327
01:11:42,760 --> 01:11:46,200
Speaker 1: if the shutdown continues. What's happening to them, Adam. They're

1328
01:11:46,200 --> 01:11:48,439
Speaker 1: not showing up for work, I presume because they have

1329
01:11:48,520 --> 01:11:51,120
Speaker 1: to go take other jobs or do side gigs to

1330
01:11:51,240 --> 01:11:53,760
Speaker 1: make ends meet while their paychecks aren't coming in from

1331
01:11:53,760 --> 01:11:54,559
Speaker 1: the federal government.

1332
01:11:55,400 --> 01:11:58,880
Speaker 9: Yeah, exact, exactly. It's a frankly financially dire situation. In

1333
01:11:58,880 --> 01:12:04,639
Speaker 9: my opinion, it's unaccepted but also also equally unsustainable for them.

1334
01:12:04,680 --> 01:12:07,360
Speaker 9: They can't afford to come into work, and if they

1335
01:12:07,360 --> 01:12:09,719
Speaker 9: can't afford to coming to work, they're quitting all together

1336
01:12:09,760 --> 01:12:12,519
Speaker 9: to find alternate jobs to make ends meet. And so

1337
01:12:12,880 --> 01:12:17,240
Speaker 9: we've already seen over four hundred officers, you know, altogether

1338
01:12:17,320 --> 01:12:20,600
Speaker 9: quick and this is the second extended shutdown over the

1339
01:12:20,680 --> 01:12:22,760
Speaker 9: past six months. And so again this is going to

1340
01:12:22,800 --> 01:12:24,720
Speaker 9: get worse. It's not going to get better, and we're

1341
01:12:24,720 --> 01:12:26,320
Speaker 9: going to continue to see folks call out and that's

1342
01:12:26,320 --> 01:12:29,759
Speaker 9: going to have long term ratifications for the aviation security

1343
01:12:29,800 --> 01:12:33,200
Speaker 9: screening workforce, not only today but in the months to come.

1344
01:12:34,240 --> 01:12:36,200
Speaker 1: So we know we have some airports that have very

1345
01:12:36,280 --> 01:12:38,240
Speaker 1: long lines. There's a lot of chaos in a few

1346
01:12:38,240 --> 01:12:41,920
Speaker 1: places at some of the smaller airports, Adam, where you

1347
01:12:41,960 --> 01:12:44,479
Speaker 1: don't have that much staff. Are we on the brink

1348
01:12:44,520 --> 01:12:47,759
Speaker 1: of a situation where certain airports may have to close

1349
01:12:48,479 --> 01:12:49,920
Speaker 1: until the shutdown is over?

1350
01:12:51,080 --> 01:12:53,640
Speaker 9: And that's really what we're surveying now. We're going to

1351
01:12:53,720 --> 01:12:57,879
Speaker 9: make continuously make these de termination on an AIRFI airport basis.

1352
01:12:57,960 --> 01:13:00,719
Speaker 9: But you mentioned and I've told you know several outists

1353
01:13:01,920 --> 01:13:07,600
Speaker 9: please support airports approp to death? Are they if the

1354
01:13:07,760 --> 01:13:16,680
Speaker 9: few staff, if you're first staff temper, I'll tell you

1355
01:13:16,720 --> 01:13:17,120
Speaker 9: what I think.

1356
01:13:17,200 --> 01:13:18,920
Speaker 1: Uh, I think I think we're I think we're losing

1357
01:13:18,920 --> 01:13:20,960
Speaker 1: Adam's connection. So why don't we why don't we do this?

1358
01:13:21,040 --> 01:13:23,439
Speaker 1: Let's take that down. That is Adams Stall. He is

1359
01:13:23,479 --> 01:13:25,559
Speaker 1: the chief of staff. I know he's traveling right now.

1360
01:13:25,960 --> 01:13:26,120
Speaker 9: Uh.

1361
01:13:26,160 --> 01:13:28,360
Speaker 1: He is the chief of Staff and Deputy administrator of

1362
01:13:28,400 --> 01:13:30,840
Speaker 1: the TSA. But what he was saying there if you

1363
01:13:30,840 --> 01:13:32,720
Speaker 1: couldn't make it out. Is that, Yes, it's some of

1364
01:13:32,720 --> 01:13:35,880
Speaker 1: the smaller airports that have less staff. If we end

1365
01:13:35,960 --> 01:13:38,600
Speaker 1: up in a staffing shortage, it's possible. It's possible that

1366
01:13:38,640 --> 01:13:41,720
Speaker 1: airports in smaller places might have to close soon. The

1367
01:13:41,720 --> 01:13:44,720
Speaker 1: bottom line is, as long as this shutdown continues, you're

1368
01:13:44,760 --> 01:13:47,160
Speaker 1: gonna have more TSA agents who have to leave their

1369
01:13:47,280 --> 01:13:49,439
Speaker 1: jobs all together. They can't come to work, they have

1370
01:13:49,479 --> 01:13:51,800
Speaker 1: to provide for their families, and that's going to lead

1371
01:13:51,840 --> 01:13:54,799
Speaker 1: to long lines and even more chaos as you travel.

1372
01:13:55,120 --> 01:13:57,400
Speaker 1: That brings us to the end of today Scott Jennings Show.

1373
01:13:57,439 --> 01:14:00,000
Speaker 1: We're grateful for your being here. We'll be back tomorrow

1374
01:14:00,040 --> 01:14:04,639
Speaker 1: or broadcasting live from once again Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.

1375
01:14:04,720 --> 01:14:06,800
Speaker 1: We're looking forward to being down there one more time.

1376
01:14:06,960 --> 01:14:08,400
Speaker 1: Common sense for the American people.

1377
01:14:08,439 --> 01:14:10,960
Speaker 2: See you, then, common sense for the American people.

1378
01:14:11,560 --> 01:14:13,040
Speaker 1: This is the Scott Jenny Show.
