1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 1: Okay, It's Monday, January twenty sixth, Live from the frozen

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 1: tundra of Louisville, Kentucky. Much of the nation sets under

3
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 1: a blanket of snow and ice, and the entire country

4
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: watches events in Minneapolis, Minnesota as they cast a chaotic

5
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 1: paul on our national mood. The last hostage has returned

6
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 1: from Gaza. Illegal immigrant crime has claimed more lives in

7
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 1: North Carolina and Washington, d C. And Congressman Jeff Crank

8
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: of Colorado joins us at thirty three minutes past the hour.

9
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:39,159
Speaker 1: This is the Scott Jennings Show on Salem Radio, Common

10
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 1: Sense for the American People. Let us begin today in Minnesota,

11
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 1: where a series of events that began late last week

12
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 1: set in motion another round of violent protests that has

13
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: left the forty six largest city in America in utter chaos.

14
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 2: First, the story that started this latest round of chaos.

15
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: The five year old boy that was supposedly used as bait.

16
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 2: You know doubt heard this yarn, Well it wasn't true.

17
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 1: Federal law enforcement officers were conducting a targeted investigation of

18
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: an illegal alien from Ecuador. The man abandoned his child

19
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: outdoors in the process. Ice agents took custody of the

20
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: little boy, sheltered him, gave him food, played his favorite songs.

21
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 2: Federal agents took.

22
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: Care of a little boy after he was abandoned by

23
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 1: his father and after his mother refused to open the

24
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: door and let this poor child back inside.

25
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 2: But what story did you hear?

26
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: That federal agents used the boy as bait, that the

27
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: little boy was arrested. None of that was true, but

28
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: the narrative took hold late last week. Nonetheless, Democrats media

29
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: once again their collusion drove the narrative in order to

30
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: whip up more political vigilantism. And that's what we got

31
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: this weekend in Minneapolis, more protests, more violence, more mayhem.

32
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: And in those protests, another man lost his life. Alex Pretty,

33
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: thirty seven years old, inserted himself into a law enforcement

34
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: situation on Saturday morning, and in the chaos that followed,

35
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: he was shot by a federal agent and he died.

36
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 1: This is the second person to die in Minnesota after

37
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 1: inserting themselves into a law enforcement situation. Something you should

38
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: not do, something that is a federal crime.

39
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 2: Protesting is one thing.

40
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: Inserting yourself into active law enforcement settings is quite another.

41
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 2: It is quite dangerous.

42
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: You should not do it, no matter what your elected

43
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 1: officials have told you to do. The insurgency in Minnesota,

44
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: make no mistake, is well organized, It is well funded,

45
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: it is well trained. These are not random passers by.

46
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: These are highly organized agitators and disruptors who are trying

47
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:04,679
Speaker 1: to spark violent and mayhem on the streets of Minneapolis. Now,

48
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: following the shooting, the narrative war from the left kicked

49
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: into overdrive, and in one of the most idiotic, historically illiterate,

50
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: and irresponsible statements made to date, the Governor of Minnesota

51
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: an absolute buffoon, Tim Wall said, this cut number five.

52
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 2: Many of us grew up reading that story of Anne Frank.

53
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 3: Somebody's going to write that children's story about Minnesota.

54
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: Can we just take a moment to recognize how outrageously

55
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: disgusting it is to say such a thing to invoke

56
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: the name of Anne Frank, who, alongside a million other children,

57
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: were mass slaughtered by the most evil regime in human history,

58
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: and saying that our government is in some way comparable

59
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: to the Nazi regime. Can you imagine what other historically

60
00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: illiterate garbage this man Walls taught school children. And don't

61
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: forget he was a teacher who used to brag that

62
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: none of his students could get into Ivy League schools.

63
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 2: Now we know why.

64
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: So Walls whipped up more Walls as warriors to again

65
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: take to the streets of Minneapolis. And while you slept

66
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: last night, violent rioters attacked a hotel in Minneapolis where

67
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,799
Speaker 1: they believe that federal agents were sleeping.

68
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 2: The hotel was badly damaged.

69
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: You've seen video, of course, of people climbing up ladders

70
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: on each other's shoulders with hammers and shovels and tools,

71
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 1: smashing the signage, smashing in the front door. There's a

72
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 1: video of one lone armed federal agent guarding the front door.

73
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 1: Why is he by himself because the Minneapolis Police Department

74
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: has been ordered not to assist federal law enforcement if

75
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: they are under attack. This hotel is badly damaged. Every

76
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: car in the parking lot absolutely wrecked with vandalism or worse.

77
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: And in the middle of all this violence, all of

78
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: this rioting, all of this disorder, what did Tim Walls

79
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: have to say last night? Literally as it was going on,

80
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: he said, and I quote, I am damn proud of Minnesota.

81
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: As I have reported to you since the beginning of

82
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: this chaos. Tim Waltz, honorary Somali pirate, Jacob Frye, who's

83
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: the mayor, Lieutenant Governor, Peggy Flanagan, Tina Smith and Amy Klobashar,

84
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: the senators, ilhan Omar congresswoman, all of these Democrats. They

85
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 1: want this, They want chaos, they want destruction. Flanning In

86
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: at one point told the rioters to quote, put their

87
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: bodies on the line. Waltz himself compared all of this

88
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 1: to the Battle of Gettysburg. They do not care how

89
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: many people they radicalize with their rhetoric. They do not

90
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,919
Speaker 1: care how many people wind up inserting themselves into the

91
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: middle of chaotic law enforcement situations and wind up dead

92
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: or badly injured.

93
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,679
Speaker 2: Because chaos is good for them.

94
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,679
Speaker 1: This all started when the news broke of a massive

95
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 1: fraud investigation touching most of the Democrats that I mentioned above.

96
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: That's when this all started. Coincidence. Come on, this is

97
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,359
Speaker 1: an IQ test, don't fail it.

98
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 2: So what now?

99
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 1: While President Trump has some decisions to make, he started

100
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: last night by dispatching White House borders are Tom Homan

101
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: to take control of the federal response in Minneapolis, and

102
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,919
Speaker 1: today today Trump says he has spoken to Walls.

103
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 2: Here's the President's statement.

104
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: Tim Walls called me with a request to work together

105
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: with respect to Minnesota. It was a very good call,

106
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 1: and we actually seemed to be on a similar wavelength.

107
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: I told Governor Walls I would have Tom Holman call

108
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 1: him and that what we are looking for here are

109
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: any and all criminals that they have in their possession.

110
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,359
Speaker 1: The governor very respectfully understood that, and I will be

111
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 1: speaking to him in the near future. He was happy

112
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: that Tom Homan was going to Minnesota. We've had tremendous

113
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: success in Washington and other cities. Even in Minnesota, crime

114
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: is down, but both Governor Walls and I want to

115
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: make it better. That's what Donald Trump says. A rather

116
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: conciliatory note from Trump. Will the Democrats in Minnesota do

117
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: the same? Well, here is the Mayor of Minnesota, honorary

118
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: Somali pirate Jacob Fry Minneapolis, the mayor of Minneapolis. He

119
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: makes clear that he cares more about illegal immigrants in

120
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: protecting them than he does American citizens.

121
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 2: Cut six in Minneapolis.

122
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 4: We will not cooperate with VICE or any federal agency

123
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 4: around immigration enforcement work.

124
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 2: We will not.

125
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: Have you stopped to ask yourself why there is chaos

126
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: in Minneapolis and literally nowhere else in America. What does

127
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: Minneapolis have that nobody else has. Well, it has walls

128
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: and and these insane Democrats who believe their jurisdiction should

129
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: exist in a state of secession from the federal government

130
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: and from federal laws. That is the bottom line here.

131
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: They believe federal immigration laws should not apply to Minnesota.

132
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: Does that sound reasonable to you? Does that sound like

133
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: something that should be allowed? Of course, it sounds insane.

134
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: Who are federal agents picking up drug traffickers, rapists, sex criminals, smugglers, murderers, terrorists,

135
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: in some.

136
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 2: Cases some of the world's worst.

137
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: Joe Biden and his party let millions of them walk

138
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,439
Speaker 1: right into our country, and now Democrats in Minnesota are

139
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 1: trying to keep them here. Donald Trump was elected on

140
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: a pledge to deport them, and that is all that

141
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: he is trying to do. I hope this conversation with

142
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: Walls and Trump bears fruit. I hope the Democrats in

143
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,719
Speaker 1: Minnesota come to their senses. They have an awful lot

144
00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:00,080
Speaker 1: of political capital invested in this left wing insurgency right now, Well,

145
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 1: it's hard to put ANTIFA back in the bottle once

146
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:08,479
Speaker 1: you have invited them and their tactics into your community.

147
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 1: This is the Scott Jennings Show and you're listening to

148
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: it on Salem. A word from our friends at Patriot Mobile.

149
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: Every day we all make choices that shape our country's future,

150
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: right down to what cell phone provider we support. Here's

151
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: what most of you may not know. Patriot Mobile is

152
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,559
Speaker 1: more than a wireless provider. They are an activist organization.

153
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: They fund themselves by selling top tier cell phone service.

154
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: They are on the front lines of defending our freedoms.

155
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: They stand in the gap when other corporations shrink, and

156
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:44,239
Speaker 1: they deliver prioritized, premium service on all three major US networks.

157
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 1: They give you the same or even better coverage, backed

158
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: by one hundred percent US based customer service support team.

159

00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 1: attention remains on Minneapolis, where local Democrats are refusing to

182
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: cooperate with federal law enforcement, there are other terrible, terrible

183
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: stories of illegal aliens committing heinous crimes elsewhere. Let's go

184
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:25,640

190
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:51,280

194
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:03,280

195
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:09,120

222
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 1: into the community instead of turning them over to federal

00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: law enforcement they had been picked up before.

224
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:13,080

231
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: in mind when they tell you that illegal aliens can't

232
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: get ID cards.

233
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 2: Of course they can get them all the time.

234
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 1: These are just some of the charges these MS thirteen

235
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: gang members had faced, and yet they stayed in our country,

236
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,760

Speaker 2: Old boy is dead.

239
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,160

00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 1: spray painting MS thirteen gang symbols on houses. Nobody in

241
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 1: Washington thought this was a red flag. Do not be

242
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 1: taken in by the propaganda, folks. Illegal aliens are in

00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 2: Why well, because they hate Trump. Isn't that enough?

248
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: I hope it makes them feel better as they watch

249
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: the news and they see their constituents being murdered and

250
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:56,880

279
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,880
Speaker 1: for the American people. Scott Jennings is with you on Salem.

280
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: Coming up in just a moment. Congressman Jeff Crank from

281
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 1: Colorado is on the line. However, I must deliver a

282
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 1: quick message from our friends partners at Child Help. I

283
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 1: want to tell you a story that Child Help sees

284
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:08,120
Speaker 1: far too often. It starts as a game, a kid

285
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: logging on after school, talking with friends, having fun. Then

286
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 1: someone else joins the conversation. At first, nothing feels wrong,

287
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: They get some compliments, They ask a few curious questions, hey,

288
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: someone's paying attention to me, the child thinks, but over

289
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 1: time it becomes personal, then private, then secret, and eventually uncomfortable.

290
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: This is how online grooming works, not with force, but

291
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: with trust. By the time a child realizes something is wrong,

292
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 1: they are scared. They are scared to tell their parents.

293
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 1: They don't want to get in trouble. They don't want

294
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:45,160
Speaker 1: to lose their devices or their friends. This is where

295
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 1: child help steps in. Child help teaches kids how to

296
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:52,639
Speaker 1: recognize grooming behavior before it turns into abuse. It helps

297
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 1: parents spot the warning signs early. They remind kids that

298
00:18:56,560 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 1: secrets about bodies are not okay, and they help families

299
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 1: act when something doesn't feel right. This is not about fear,

300
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 1: This is about preparation. For just twenty seven dollars, you

301
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 1: can help protect the child from abuse. Text child Help

00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 8: Scott, thanks for having me.

316
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 2: Excited to be with you, Glad you're here today.

317
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: I first just want to get your reaction to the

318
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 1: news of the weekend. You, I'm sure taking in the

319
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 1: video of the chaos in Minneapolis. You've heard the details

320
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 1: of the shooting on Saturday morning. What's going through your

321
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 1: mind right now as someone who has to make laws

322
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 1: in Washington, d C.

323
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 8: Well, very unfortunate, very sad of course that that happened,

324
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 8: and of course entirely preventable. And that's where we have

325
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,919
Speaker 8: to start with this. Of course, if you don't interfere

326
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 8: with law enforcement executing a warrant or doing their work,

327
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 8: if you don't interfere with that, you're probably going to

328
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:37,160
Speaker 8: be fine. Now, we do need a full and complete

329
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:40,199
Speaker 8: investigation of this. I want to make sure that every

330
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 8: American citizen get gets treated appropriately but nobody should draw

331
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:49,719
Speaker 8: conclusions based off, you know, shaky video. We need all

332
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 8: the all the answers. I understand. I hear just recently

333
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 8: that there was body cam video on some of those agents,

334
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 8: and so very very anxious to see that. But none

335
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 8: of us should draw any conclusions until we see all

336
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 8: of that about whether the action was appropriate or not.

337
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 1: Congressman, I want to play some audio for you. Democrats

338
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,679
Speaker 1: are now threatening, or I think some of them are

339
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 1: promising to shut down the government over DHS funding. Guys,

340
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 1: let's cue up, cut eleven and play this and we'll

341
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: get Congressman Crank's reaction.

342
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 9: First of all, of course, I'm against this spending bills argue.

343
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 1: That you should not proceed with the funding for DHS,

344
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 1: and so.

345
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 4: You have radical, in my view, radical changes rain and ICE.

346
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 2: I hate shutdowns.

347
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,679
Speaker 8: I'm one of the people that helped negotiate the solution

348
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 8: to the last the end of the last shutdown, but

349
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,679
Speaker 8: I can't vote for a bill that includes ICE funding

350
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 8: under these circumstances.

351
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,439
Speaker 9: And Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said on Sunday that

352
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 9: Senate Democrats will not allow that.

353
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 2: DHS bill to move forward.

354
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 9: He wants it stripped away from the other five bills, saying,

355
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 9: in part quote, Senate Republicans must work with Democrats to

356
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 9: advance the other five funding bill while we work to

357
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 9: rewrite the DHS bill. This is the best course of action,

358
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 9: and the American people are on our side.

359
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 1: Congressman, when you hear this rhetoric about ICE and DHS

360
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: funding from Democrats, what do you think are we headed

361
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:15,880
Speaker 1: for a government shutdown?

362
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,880
Speaker 8: Well, I mean, obviously it would just be a partial shutdown.

363
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 8: It would probably end up just shutting down the Department

364
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,399
Speaker 8: of Homeland Security. Doesn't sound like a very good idea

365
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 8: to do that at a time when we need obviously

366
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 8: Homeland Security, and we need our ICE agents who are

367
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 8: just doing their job. I mean, for goodness sakes, could

368
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,239
Speaker 8: you imagine being out on the front lines being an

369
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:41,159
Speaker 8: ICE agent, you know, literally under the gun day in

370
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,640
Speaker 8: and day out, people throwing frozen water bottles at you

371
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 8: and trying to entice you into a fight. And then

372
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 8: the Democrats in Congress are going to take away your

373
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 8: paycheck as well. This is a terrible idea. I hope

374
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 8: that they'll come to their senses and work with us.

375
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 8: You know, look, we should review all that's being done

376
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 8: right now with ICE and make sure that everything is appropriate.

377
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 8: The President called for that this morning, that we make

378
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,919
Speaker 8: sure that we're doing everything right. There should be a

379
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 8: full accounting of this, of the shooting, and making sure

380
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:16,679
Speaker 8: that our officers acted appropriately. But we shouldn't hold the

381
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,639
Speaker 8: good men and women who work for us every single

382
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 8: day to keep us safe. Shouldn't hold them hostage. And

383
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 8: I just really hope that the Democrats will come to

384
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:25,880
Speaker 8: their senses on this.

385
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, Congressman, my understanding is is that ICE and Border Enforcement,

386
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 1: Immigration enforcement has all the money it needs that by

387
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,199
Speaker 1: shutting down DHS funding, what you're really doing here is

388
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 1: shutting down funding for FEMA and TSA and other things

389
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 1: that are under DHS. But that ICE itself and Immigration

390
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 1: enforcement is already funded. And at a time when most

391
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 1: of the country sits under a blanket of snow and ice,

392
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 1: it seems to me Democrats threatening to shut down FEMA

393
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 1: funding is a terrible idea.

394
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's a terrible idea, but we've seen them do

395
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:03,160
Speaker 8: it before. They did it supposedly over healthcare, even though

396
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 8: it was really over healthcare. It's just a bad idea.

397
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 2: We thought we had this worked out, and we did

398
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 2: have it worked out.

399
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,679
Speaker 8: We had an agreement to get all this stuff funded,

400
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 8: to not be on a continuing resolution for the first

401
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 8: time in many, many years. And then, of course they

402
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 8: go back on their word and back on the deal

403
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 8: once this terrible tragedy happened in Minneapolis. So I hope

404
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,439
Speaker 8: that we can find a way to get past this.

405
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:30,120
Speaker 8: It wouldn't be a good thing for America.

406
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: Congressman Jeff Crank is our guest. He's speaking to us

407
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: live from Colorado Springs, Colorado today. Congressman, I want to

408
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 1: talk to you about Budget Reconciliation two point zero.

409
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 2: We have been enthusiastic supporters of this.

410
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 1: Here and I know you are as well, and we've

411
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 1: had various members of the House Republican Conference on to

412
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,880
Speaker 1: tout this. Now you sit on the Energy and Mineral

413
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,919
Speaker 1: Resource Subcommittee of the Natural Resources Committee, and I know

414
00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 1: there's going to be some energy provisions in this next

415
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: round of budget reconciliation. Can you tell us about that?

416
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 1: What do you want to see in this bill as

417
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 1: it progresses through the House.

418
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 8: Well, we certainly in the first Reconciliation bill we did

419
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 8: a lot to get government out of the way of

420
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 8: energy production and trying to get us away from picking

421
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 8: winners and losers in energy. A lot of that came

422
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 8: through our committee on the now Natural Resources Committee, you know,

423
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 8: I do. I think that if we can get that

424
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 8: through and again with reconciliation. The secret to that is

425
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 8: we don't need sixty votes. We don't need the Democrats

426
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 8: if they choose not to work with us, if they

427
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 8: choose to be obstructionists, as they have done many times,

428
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 8: that's the way around the sixty vote threshold that's needed

429
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 8: in the Senate. So I would hope that we would

430
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 8: we would work hard to get a Reconciliation two point

431
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 8: zero on as many topics as we can through.

432
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:56,880
Speaker 2: We've got a lot of work to do.

433
00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 8: There was a lot of damage done from the Biden

434
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 8: administry to our economy, to our energy sector, and many

435
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 8: of the things that we've done will help, but there's

436
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 8: much more that we can do, and I hope we

437
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 8: do do it in Reconciliation two point zero.

438
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,399
Speaker 1: Now in Colorado, I know you're dealing with something that

439
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: people just call the Colorado River water crisis, and I'd

440
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: like to hear a little more about that, and is

441
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 1: there anything in this legislation that needs to be done

442
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 1: to help people in your district and around Colorado due

443
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:25,880
Speaker 1: to this situation with the Colorado River.

444
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 8: Well, certainly, you know, water in the West, as you

445
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 8: know Scott is something that we fight over and we

446
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 8: fight over in a lot and Colorado is unique because

447
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 8: we are the only state in America that we don't

448
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 8: have any rivers that run into Colorado. Every river in

449
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 8: Colorado runs out of Colorado because we're we're kind of

450
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 8: the starting point for most of that because of our elevation,

451
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,160
Speaker 8: so we don't have a water that's coming from other

452
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 8: states into Colorado. So for us as critical that we

453
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:02,199
Speaker 8: have enough water and frankly that we be able to

454
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 8: build more storage. You know we've been and this gets

455
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:08,119
Speaker 8: back to the environmental some of the environmental issues they have.

456
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 2: Literally the environmental.

457
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 8: Crazy groups out there have been able to shut down

458
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:17,199
Speaker 8: water storage product projects all across the United States and

459
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:20,199
Speaker 8: certainly in Colorado. So we have plenty of water, we

460
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 8: just can't store it for when we need it, and

461
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:25,880
Speaker 8: you know that's something that we should do, not only

462
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,880
Speaker 8: in Colorado, but across the West, across the United States,

463
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,680
Speaker 8: particularly in the West, we just don't have the water

464
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 8: that many other states have in the East, and it's

465
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 8: just critical that we're able to do that. And so

466
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:42,440
Speaker 8: from from the Colorado Rivers perspective, you know, we're taking

467
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,200
Speaker 8: a lot of water out of that. Both other states

468
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,639
Speaker 8: are taking it out, California taking frankly, much more than

469
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 8: their fair share out of it. So we've but again,

470
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 8: the best way to address this is to get more storage,

471
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 8: not only for Colorado but for other states so that

472
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:01,680
Speaker 8: we don't just have water and then continue to run

473
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:03,160
Speaker 8: down or we can't use that water.

474
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 1: Congressman, you said on the Armed Services Committee, interested in

475
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 1: your reaction of the news that the USS Abraham Lincoln

476
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 1: is moving into position in the Indian Ocean. Other military

477
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 1: assets appear to be moving towards the Middle East.

478
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 2: Any comment on what.

479
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,879
Speaker 1: You're seeing and do you support the idea of the

480
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: president striking the Iranian regime in order.

481
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:25,160
Speaker 2: To help the protesters.

482
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 1: Their estimates today are that tens of thousands of people

483
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 1: have been slaughtered over the last few days.

484
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, what a terrible tragedy. That regime in Iran is brutal.

485
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 8: They should be gone and that should be America's goal

486
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 8: is to get rid of them and I think back

487
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 8: to two thousand and nine when we had a very

488
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 8: similar situation. We had a student uprising in Iran. President

489
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:55,479
Speaker 8: Obama at the time didn't send help. I think the

490
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 8: Iranian students particularly were waiting for America to help, but

491
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 8: we lost that opportunity, and I don't think we can

492
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 8: lose that opportunity again here. I hope the President acts

493
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 8: in a very decisive way to help the people who

494
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 8: want freedom and liberty, not just for Iran, but let's

495
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 8: think about what that would do for the entire Middle East,

496
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 8: because right now, you know, many of the more moderate

497
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 8: Arab states are willing to work with Israel, and we

498
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 8: see some of those around the Middle East that are

499
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 8: willing to at least work with find a way to

500
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 8: coexist with Israel. The real problem is Iran, this Iranian regime,

501
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 8: which refuses.

502
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 2: To work with that.

503
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 8: In many of these Arab states, they want to see

504
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 8: this Iranian regime gone because they are so destabilizing to

505
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 8: the Middle East right now. So I do hope that

506
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 8: the President does what is necessary, and there's lots of ways,

507
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 8: lots of things at his disposal, whether it's cyber attacks

508
00:29:56,200 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 8: or you know, striking from a military standpoint sanctions. There's

509
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 8: lots of ways that he can do this, and I

510
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 8: know he's considering all of those.

511
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 1: Congressman Jeff Crank, thanks for joining us. He is the

512
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 1: representative for Colorado's fifth district. He joined US live today

513
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 1: from Colorado Springs. Congressman, will have you back soon. A

514
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 1: word from our friends at Relief Factor. You know we're

515
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 1: getting the stories, and I have to share with you

516
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 1: the story.

517
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 2: This is Sandra and her own words.

518
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 1: I'd been hearing about Relief Factor on the radio for

519
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 1: a couple of years. I decided to try it because

520
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 1: nothing else else was helping my back pain. With the

521
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 1: three week quick start, I went for it, and now

522
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 1: I feel like a new person. That is Sandra and

523
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 1: her own words. It's so gratifying to hear, you know,

524
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 1: I have to tell you about Relief Factor. And when

525
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 1: I get these letters and these testimonials from people who say, Hey,

526
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:50,959
Speaker 1: I heard it on the radio. I tried it and

527
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 1: it worked for me, makes me feel pretty good about

528
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 1: my job. I want you to try it for yourself.

529
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 1: It's the three week quick start. See how a Relief

530
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 1: Factor could be a game changer. Call one hundred and

531
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 1: four relief or go to relieffactor dot com. How would

532
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 1: it feel to be out of pain? Well you can

533
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 1: find out with relief Factor. International news coming up next,

534
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 1: it's Scott Jennings on Salem.

535
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:12,959
Speaker 2: Stay with us in very definition.

536
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 5: I've never backed down here, Scott Jennings.

537
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: It is Monday, January twenty sixth. Scott Jennings, Common sense

538
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:25,479
Speaker 1: for the American people, broadcasting to you today from the

539
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 1: frozen tundra of Louisville, Kentucky. I know many of you

540
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 1: out there under snow and ice. Hope you're staying warm

541
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 1: and staying safe. Some of the roads I traveled on

542
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 1: to get here today were okay, some were not. So

543
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 1: Please don't do anything stupid. You know that's a good

544
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 1: rule for life.

545
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 2: Should I do this? Is this stupid? Don't do anything stupid.

546
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 1: Stay safe for your families, for your own, for my sake,

547
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 1: please don't do anything dumb out there. I want to

548
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 1: round out the first hour here with international politics.

549
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 2: We have excellent news today.

550
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 1: The Israeli Defense Force, the IDF, has found the last

551
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 1: remaining hostage in Gaza.

552
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 2: You all have been hearing about this.

553
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 1: There was one last hostage, the remains of one last hostage,

554
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 1: and it's been sitting, and this has been part of

555
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 1: the deal. To get to the second phase of the

556
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 1: President's peace plan. They had to return Hamas had to

557
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 1: return the remains of all hostages.

558
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:29,959
Speaker 2: Well, it's happened.

559
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: Ron Gavili, who served in the Israeli Peace Special Forces.

560
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 1: He fell in combat on October the seventh. His body

561
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 1: was the last to come home. Eight hundred and forty

562
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 1: three days have passed since October the seventh, and all

563
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 1: the hostages are home. I think this is the first

564
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 1: time since twenty fourteen there are not any Israeli hostages

565
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 1: being held by Hamas.

566
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 2: Can celebrate this milestone.

567
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 1: I'm sure mister Kavili's family is happy to have his

568
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 1: remains back in Israel.

569
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 2: And for those of us who.

570
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 1: Want to see peace in the Middle East and a

571
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 1: progression of this peace process, this was a vital issue.

572
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 1: This was a vital issue for Israel and for everybody

573
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 1: who is engaged in trying to make peace keeping it

574
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 1: in the Middle East. We are waiting to see if

575
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 1: there's going to be any continued action against the Iatola's

576
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 1: regime in Iran. I just asked Congressman Jeff Crank of

577
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 1: Colorado about this. There are reports saying that the death

578
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 1: toll from the protest crackdowns have reached perhaps thirty thousand,

579
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 1: thirty thousand. Now many people are debating right now, including

580
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 1: the President, about whether we should strike and whether we

581
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 1: should take out the Iyatola's regime. They're obviously weaker than

582
00:33:56,800 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 1: they have been. The core strategic question for the president

583
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 1: is if I strike this regime.

584
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 2: Will it fall? Will it fall?

585
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 1: And we have military assets moving into the region. There

586
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 1: are reports about the USS Abraham Lincoln getting closer, So

587
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:18,360
Speaker 1: we'll see what the President wants to do this week.

588
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 1: But again the reports are perhaps thirty thousand, thirty thousand

589
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:29,399
Speaker 1: people dead at the hands of the Iranian regime. Let's

590
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 1: take a look at this. This is cutting number eight.

591
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:37,279
Speaker 1: These are college kids protesting on a college campus for

592
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 1: something good.

593
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 2: Let's look at this cut eight. Finally, good for these kids.

594
00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:59,720
Speaker 1: I'm glad to see somebody out there on a college

595
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 1: camp is protesting against a murderous regime, unlike you'd see

596
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 1: at the kids at Columbia and other places in.

597
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 2: Other parts of the world. This is a massive story.

598
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:12,360
Speaker 1: I think it's getting lost in all the rest of

599
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 1: the News, China's top general, second only to Shi Jimping,

600
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:20,879
Speaker 1: the nation's leader in the military command, has been put

601
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 1: under investigation and accused of grave violations of discipline and

602
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 1: the law. According to China's Ministry of National Defense, this

603
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:36,319
Speaker 1: is the most stunning escalation yet in She's purge of

604
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 1: the People's Liberation Army elite. I'm reading to you from

605
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:44,279
Speaker 1: the New York Times and its reporter Chris Buckley, who

606
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 1: had the story. The general in question here, Xiang Yushia,

607
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 1: is vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, the Communist

608
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 1: Party body that controls China's armed forces. Another member of

609
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 1: the Commission, General Liu xi Lee, who leads the military's

610
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:08,279
Speaker 1: Joint Staff Department, is also under investigation. The Defense Ministry said,

611
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:14,839
Speaker 1: so General Xiang's downfall, according to this reporting, is the

612
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 1: most drastic step so far, and she's years long campaign

613
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 1: to root out what he says is corruption and disloyalty

614
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 1: in the military. The reporting is is that everybody is

615
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:33,399
Speaker 1: astonished by this because General Xiang seemed to be very

616
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 1: close with maybe a confident of Xi Xiping, who apparently

617
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 1: has known this man for decades. And so now you

618
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 1: have two generals in China sidelined, and the Central Military

619
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 1: Commission has just two members left on it.

620
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:54,720
Speaker 2: So this, of course leads to a lot of questions.

621
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:56,800
Speaker 1: More to com Scott Jennings say.

622
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:03,399
Speaker 5: So, Free speech, truth delivery, common.

623
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 2: Sense for the American People. Welcome to the Scott Jennings Show.

Speaker 1: It is Monday, January twenty second. Scott Jennings here on Salem,

640
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:05,920
Speaker 10: Thanks so much for having me on Scott.

641
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:08,759
Speaker 2: I follow you. I've been following you for a very

642
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:09,279
Speaker 2: long time.

643
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 1: You can find Lila on the X platform at Lila

644
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 1: Grace Rose.

645
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:15,280
Speaker 2: Let's start Lila.

646
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 1: On Friday, the March for Life took place in Washington.

647
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:22,840
Speaker 1: Over one hundred thousand pro life advocates gathered in the

648
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 1: nation's capital to fight for the sanctity of human life.

649
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:28,880
Speaker 2: You were there. Tell us about this year's march.

650
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 10: It was bigger than last year's. It was amazing. There were,

651
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 10: as usual, thousands of young people, families marching the streets.

652
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:42,360
Speaker 10: The lack of media coverage is always really laughable, I

653
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:46,319
Speaker 10: would say, because this is the largest ongoing human rights

654
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 10: demonstration in American history, and you had they are estimating

655
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 10: one hundred thousand people out in the cold of Washington, DC.

656
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 10: It was an amazing event. It's inspiring. There's so much

657
00:38:57,239 --> 00:38:59,360
Speaker 10: joy there. And what are we marching for. We're marching

658
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 10: for the rights of every child to be born, and

659
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:05,240
Speaker 10: that marching for the dignity of every human person.

660
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 11: And we're doing it at a.

661
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 10: Time when there are one million abortions every single year.

662
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:12,959
Speaker 10: This is the greatest leading. The leading cause of death

663
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 10: in the world is abortion. In the United States, it's

664
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:18,400
Speaker 10: the number one killer of children, and it was exciting

665
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:21,239
Speaker 10: and inspiring to see so many people standing up for

666
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:24,240
Speaker 10: their lives in the cold of DC Lyla.

667
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 1: You started your organization Live Action when you were just

668
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:30,919
Speaker 1: fifteen years old. This was back in two thousand and three.

669
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 1: We're over twenty years since that moment. How do you

670
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 1: feel about the current state of the pro life movement

671
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:39,200
Speaker 1: right now?

672
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 10: I feel a lot of optimism, but also determination because

673
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:46,279
Speaker 10: we have seen some historic wins in recent years for

674
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 10: our movement. We saw the one year defund of planned

675
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:52,279
Speaker 10: parented at the federal level of hundreds of millions of

676
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:56,360
Speaker 10: dollars last year. That had not ever happened before in decades.

677
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 10: This has been something of movement and I have been

678
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:01,719
Speaker 10: working for for over the last two decades. People told

679
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:04,760
Speaker 10: me it would be impossible to extricate the big abortion

680
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 10: industries funding time parents funding from the federal government. But

681
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 10: that has been done for one year, so that's a

682
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:11,880
Speaker 10: huge win. It sets the precedent for us making that permanent.

683
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:13,399
Speaker 11: Last year, the.

684
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:15,880
Speaker 10: Pro life prisoners that have been put in prison, who

685
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:18,800
Speaker 10: are people protesters under the A Biden administration were given

686
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 10: presidential pardon by President Trump. Those are good things. That

687
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:25,479
Speaker 10: being said, we have to be sober minded and real

688
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:27,839
Speaker 10: about where we're at as a movement. The fact is this,

689
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:31,920
Speaker 10: we are seeing abortion numbers increase. Those lives of children

690
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 10: that are taken from abortion has increased. This past year,

691
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:38,840
Speaker 10: it was over one million lives taken by abortion. The

692
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:42,359
Speaker 10: majority of those abortion scott are by the abortion pill.

693
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:45,239
Speaker 10: This is chemical abortions that are sent via our postal

694
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 10: mail system, and that's six hundred thousand plus abortions every

695
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:54,319
Speaker 10: single year. Here's the truth. Our FDA, our AHHS right

696
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:57,319
Speaker 10: now allows the abortion pills to be sent via the mail.

697
00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:00,840
Speaker 10: This was instituted by Biden, before that Obama, before that Clinton.

698
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:04,400
Speaker 10: This has been a very pro abortion ideology and recklessness

699
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 10: in our healthcare system. And the reason we have so

700
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:09,239
Speaker 10: many abortions is because you can literally press the button

701
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:11,840
Speaker 10: and they show up on your doorstep. It's like doordocks basically,

702
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:14,880
Speaker 10: and these are pills that kill babies, so they should

703
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 10: not be in the market, and they land one out

704
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:19,440
Speaker 10: of every twenty two women who take them in the

705
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:22,319
Speaker 10: emergency room, and one of every ten women who take

706
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:25,719
Speaker 10: the abortion pill will end up with serious adverse side effects.

707
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 10: So the fact that these are on the market under

708
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:30,760
Speaker 10: the Trump administration is a travesy. They need to be removed.

709
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 10: So when we're optimistic and we are excited about the momentum,

710
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:36,720
Speaker 10: this is the necessary next step that needs to happen.

711
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:38,840
Speaker 10: It's time to pull the abortion pill from the market.

712
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:41,759
Speaker 1: Let's talk a little more about this. I was in

713
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 1: Arkansas last week. In fact, I was the keynote speaker

714
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:47,480
Speaker 1: at the Arkansas Right to Life annual dinner. I was

715
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:50,480
Speaker 1: there along with Sam brown Back from Kansas, who also

716
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 1: gave great remarks. But there was a lot of conversation

717
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 1: about this abortion pill issue because in Arkansas they have

718
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 1: heavily restricted, outlawed, and yet these pills are winding up

719
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 1: in the hands of people in Arkansas in clear violation

720
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:08,319
Speaker 1: of state law. The Attorney General there, Tim Griffin, who

721
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:11,960
Speaker 1: I've known for many years, is threatening the companies that

722
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:15,320
Speaker 1: are sending in the abortion pills. But in your opinion,

723
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:17,879
Speaker 1: is the only way around this or the only way

724
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:20,960
Speaker 1: forward here for the federal government to step in, Because

725
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 1: it seems to me that's because some of these pills

726
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:25,160
Speaker 1: are coming.

727
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:25,719
Speaker 2: In from overseas.

728
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 1: I think, I mean, it appears to me to be

729
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:29,360
Speaker 1: a necessary federal intervention.

730
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 10: Don't you think, yes, it's not even a federal intervention.

731
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:36,799
Speaker 10: I mean, the federal government, unfortunately is complicit in the

732
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:38,759
Speaker 10: fact that these drugs are on the market. The only

733
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:41,960
Speaker 10: reason the abortion pills are flooding states like Kentucky or

734
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 10: pro life states like Texas are because of the federal

735
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 10: government permitting this abortion to these abortion drugs to be

736
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:51,480
Speaker 10: on the market in the first place and sent via

737
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:54,239
Speaker 10: the postfale mail system. So this is something that the

738
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:59,320
Speaker 10: federal government absolutely with one hundred percent ability to regulate

739
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:02,320
Speaker 10: and to move from the market. When this is a

740
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:06,080
Speaker 10: quick history here. In two thousand, the abortion pill chemical

741
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 10: abortion was put on the market under Clinton via an

742
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:13,840
Speaker 10: illegal fast track approval process where they circumvented the typical

743
00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 10: approval process of the FDA because there was so much

744
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 10: pro abortion ideology and the administration that wanted the pill

745
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 10: in the market. Then under Obama, there were doctor's visits

746
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 10: that had been required because this is a lethal drug.

747
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 10: You need to see where the baby is inside of

748
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 10: the mother if it's an a topic pregnancy. As an example,

749
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:34,319
Speaker 10: that's two percent of pregnancies. Today, the baby when they're

750
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:36,719
Speaker 10: killed via the abortion pill can't be removed and so

751
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:38,480
Speaker 10: that could be life threatening for the mother, can kill

752
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 10: the mother. There's all these side effects that could happen.

753
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:43,080
Speaker 10: So there used to be three doctors' visits required. Even

754
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:45,440
Speaker 10: under Clinton, Obama removed.

755
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:45,680
Speaker 6: Two of them.

756
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:49,200
Speaker 10: Again, this was illegally done in it originally, and then

757
00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:52,160
Speaker 10: the regulatory process has been abysmal. They took two doctors

758
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 10: appointments away. Then under President Biden during COVID, they removed

759
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:58,280
Speaker 10: the last doctor's appointment. So now you can order lethal

760
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:01,520
Speaker 10: drugs via the mail after a quick appointment via your computer,

761
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:03,799
Speaker 10: and the drug show up on your doorsteps or in

762
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:08,400
Speaker 10: your mailbox. This entire system is illegal. It is completely

763
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:10,719
Speaker 10: empathetical to the whole purpose of the Food and Drug

764
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:14,320
Speaker 10: Administration to regulate and remove dangerous drugs off the market.

765
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 10: But it's persisting under President Trump's administration. And there have

766
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:19,920
Speaker 10: been researched done, like I said, studies of hundreds of

767
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 10: thousands of women where they anonymize the healthcare data, but

768
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:24,360
Speaker 10: they look at the insurance records and they find that

769
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 10: for women who take the abortion pills today, one out

770
00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 10: of twenty two of them end up in the emergency room.

771
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:32,520
Speaker 10: One out of every ten of them has serious adversid effects.

772
00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:34,920
Speaker 10: If any other drug, and I was just speaking with

773
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:39,320
Speaker 10: Secretary Kennedy RFK about this and some of his teams,

774
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:42,759
Speaker 10: if any other drug was on the market causing this

775
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 10: much havoc on the users that took them, it would

776
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:47,480
Speaker 10: be immediately pulls in the market. And if any other

777
00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:49,799
Speaker 10: drug was killing people directly, like the abortion pill kills

778
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:51,839
Speaker 10: the baby, it would be it should be immediately pulls

779
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:54,319
Speaker 10: in the market. This drug does not be long on

780
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:56,920
Speaker 10: the market. And this is one hundred percent the prerogative

781
00:44:56,920 --> 00:44:58,919
Speaker 10: of the FDA. They can pull this drug and they.

782
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:02,520
Speaker 1: Must LYLA I have to ask you what are you

783
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 1: hearing from inside the Trump administration?

784
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:06,840
Speaker 2: And I'm going to give you about thirty.

785
00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:09,440
Speaker 1: Seconds here and we're going to be finished here for

786
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 1: this segment.

787
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:10,920
Speaker 2: But what are you hearing?

788
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:12,520
Speaker 1: I mean, what are the chances that you're going to

789
00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:14,720
Speaker 1: see action on this anytime in the near future.

790
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:18,319
Speaker 10: It looks like there is awareness. I'm hearing awareness that

791
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 10: they know that this is crazy that the pill has

792
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:23,879
Speaker 10: been put on the market. Politically, it's ideologically motivated. It's

793
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 10: so dangerous and there is a seriousness, and it sounds

794
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 10: like they want to review if they want to do

795
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:30,840
Speaker 10: their own internal research on it. I'm concerned there's not

796
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:33,759
Speaker 10: enough urgency, and that's why we're pushing the administration to

797
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:34,600
Speaker 10: take immediate action.

798
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:36,000
Speaker 2: All right.

799
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:39,040
Speaker 1: That voice you're hearing today that of Lyla Rose, pro

800
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:42,480
Speaker 1: life advocate, founder and president of Live Action and host

801
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:45,360
Speaker 1: of the Lila Rose Show podcast. She's also an author.

802
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:48,319
Speaker 1: She was at the March for Life on Friday. You

803
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:52,800
Speaker 1: can find her on the x platform at Lila Grace Rose.

804
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:55,320
Speaker 1: If you're interested in pro life issues, she is a

805
00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:57,600
Speaker 1: must follow. Lila, thanks for coming on today.

806
00:45:58,080 --> 00:45:59,239
Speaker 10: Thanks so much for having me on.

807
00:45:59,320 --> 00:45:59,919
Speaker 11: Great to chat.

808
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:02,000
Speaker 2: Great to chat with you as well.

809
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:05,800
Speaker 1: How about some news from our friends at relief Factor.

810
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:09,880
Speaker 1: We've been interviewing people about their experiences with relief Factor.

811
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:11,280
Speaker 2: This is real news you need.

812
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:14,560
Speaker 1: Relief Factor is the drug free supplement that has for

813
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:18,320
Speaker 1: thousands of people relieved everyday pain. Now we've taken it

814
00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:20,759
Speaker 1: upon ourselves to talk to the customers today. I want

815
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 1: to hear from Brian from Alabama. How'd it work for him?

816
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:25,080
Speaker 10: Loo?

817
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:27,840
Speaker 4: My name is Brian Dealatri and I started taking relief

818
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:30,600
Speaker 4: Factor just about a year ago, I was having chronic

819
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:32,879
Speaker 4: knee pain. Over time, it just got worse and worse.

820
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:36,680
Speaker 4: Just walking downstairs was painful. Well, since I've taken relief Factor,

821
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:39,839
Speaker 4: the results have been just amazing. I actually walked four

822
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:42,360
Speaker 4: miles a day, five to six days a week, no

823
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:45,560
Speaker 4: pain at all going downstairs for reactive playing golf, and

824
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:49,960
Speaker 4: it's been really just unbelievable and the change I've had

825
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:52,759
Speaker 4: in the pain in my knee. You know, I hope

826
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:56,160
Speaker 4: that someone who's experienced the same type of pain gives

827
00:46:56,200 --> 00:46:59,440
Speaker 4: relief Factor a try, and I guarantee you if you

828
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:02,840
Speaker 4: get the resons that I have, you'll be very happy.

829
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:05,560
Speaker 4: I'm going to continue using the product because I am

830
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:06,560
Speaker 4: now pain free.

831
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:10,720
Speaker 1: So our experience in the Jennings household is very similar

832
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:13,200
Speaker 1: to Brian from Alabama. My dad would tell you if

833
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:16,239
Speaker 1: you were here. He loves it and it's made a

834
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:19,320
Speaker 1: huge difference for him. Here's how you launch your own journey.

835
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:22,480
Speaker 1: Get their three week quick start. See what relief Factor

836
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:25,520
Speaker 1: can do for you. Call one eight hundred four relief

837
00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:29,480
Speaker 1: or go to relief factor dot com. Ask yourself, how

838
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:31,200
Speaker 1: would it feel to be out of pain? How would

839
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:34,400
Speaker 1: it feel to talk like Brian from Alabama. Well, you

840
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:37,919
Speaker 1: can find out from Relief Factor when we come back.

841
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:41,759
Speaker 1: It's coal, coal keeping us warm. Michelle Bludworth is here.

842
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:44,080
Speaker 1: It's Scott Jennings on Salem. Stay with us.

843
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:48,040
Speaker 5: Ready for some common sense and a little Kentucky windage.

844
00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:52,200
Speaker 2: Here's Scott Jennings Monday, January twenty six.

845
00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:56,040
Speaker 1: Not only are we ready for some Kentucky windage, We're

846
00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:59,480
Speaker 1: ready for some Kentucky coal. I'm going to spend the

847
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 1: next five minutes extolling the virtues of coal. If you are,

848
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:07,000
Speaker 1: like I am, buried under the snow and ice right now,

849
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:11,719
Speaker 1: it's only because of fossil fuels and a lot of

850
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:15,080
Speaker 1: it is coal that you are able to stay warm.

851
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:16,720
Speaker 2: That is a fact.

852
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:20,359
Speaker 1: When you think about turning on the heat today, think

853
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:24,400
Speaker 1: about thanking a coal miner, because that's what you're getting

854
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:26,320
Speaker 1: right now. If you're within the sound of my voice,

855
00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:30,640
Speaker 1: most likely joining me for this segment, Michelle Bloodworth, President

856
00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:34,440
Speaker 1: and CEO of America's Power, which advocates on behalf of

857
00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:39,839
Speaker 1: coal powered electricity all around the country. Michelle, Welcome into

858
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:42,440
Speaker 1: the Scott Jenning Show. Thanks for joining us.

859
00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:46,560
Speaker 11: Thanks Scott, I really appreciate the opportunity. And I've got

860
00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:48,359
Speaker 11: ten inches of snow and a bunch of ice here

861
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:49,799
Speaker 11: in Virginia as well.

862
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:52,200
Speaker 2: So let me ask you about Virginia.

863
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:57,520
Speaker 1: We are like six years into their mandated rapid shift

864
00:48:57,560 --> 00:49:00,839
Speaker 1: into clean energy in Virginia. But if you are warm

865
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:04,560
Speaker 1: in Virginia, sounds like you're warm, it's largely due to coal,

866
00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:08,120
Speaker 1: gas and nuclear energy. If you look at the Eastern Seaboard,

867
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:11,880
Speaker 1: the only reason the electricity grid is working right now

868
00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 1: is because of coal, gas, and nuclear A lot of

869
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:18,160
Speaker 1: it is coal. Tell us about what coal is doing

870
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:23,000
Speaker 1: to keep us warm right now, Michelle, Yes.

871
00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:27,439
Speaker 11: Well, certainly. The weekend's winter storm, and obviously it's not over,

872
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:31,719
Speaker 11: was a real stress test for the electricity grid as

873
00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:36,879
Speaker 11: we all saw temperatures plunged and demand surged. PJM, which

874
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:40,799
Speaker 11: is one of the largest regional grid operators, expects to

875
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:45,160
Speaker 11: see peak winter demand this week. But coal plants really

876
00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:50,040
Speaker 11: did deliver dependable electricity when Americans needed it most and

877
00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:54,239
Speaker 11: when the conditions were the toughest. Coal performed exactly as

878
00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:59,000
Speaker 11: it intended twenty four to seven based load electricity and

879
00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:03,040
Speaker 11: really during the I asked whether that's bomb cyclone, polar doortex.

880
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:07,480
Speaker 11: Now we have burned coal really performed and has performed

881
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:12,040
Speaker 11: and continues to perform well during extreme winter weather. And

882
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:14,960
Speaker 11: I would say many of those states that have very

883
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:19,799
Speaker 11: aggressive clean energy goals, I would say, are really regretting

884
00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:22,719
Speaker 11: that they don't have those coal plants, those that have

885
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:26,960
Speaker 11: retired within their state and certainly within their region.

886
00:50:28,080 --> 00:50:30,759
Speaker 1: Was reading a story in the Wall Street Journal this

887
00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:34,560
Speaker 1: morning New York, New York has put a blockade on

888
00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:38,360
Speaker 1: gas pipelines there that have constrained the fuel supply for

889
00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:40,960
Speaker 1: power plants across New England. They have had to resort

890
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:45,120
Speaker 1: to burning oil, which accounted for forty percent of electricity.

891
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:48,319
Speaker 1: And get this, According with the Wall Street Journal, the

892
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:50,960
Speaker 1: New York region was generating in New England was generating

893
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:55,720
Speaker 1: more power from burning wood and trash than from wind power.

894
00:50:56,480 --> 00:51:00,319
Speaker 1: Coal and other fossil fuels Michelle are so much more

895
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:04,280
Speaker 1: reliable and when the cold really hits, when the blizzard hits,

896
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:07,120
Speaker 1: it is still the best way to go all across

897
00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:07,600
Speaker 1: this country.

898
00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:12,520
Speaker 11: Yes, yes, and certainly I would say the Wall Street

899
00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:16,560
Speaker 11: Journal board got it right, because again, when the grid

900
00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:22,319
Speaker 11: is under extreme distress, dependable dispatchable power really matters, and

901
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:25,160
Speaker 11: coal certainly kept on the lights when the weather and

902
00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:30,600
Speaker 11: also when we have fuel constraints, whether that's natural gas. Obviously,

903
00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:34,200
Speaker 11: when we look at MISO, coal which is the Midwest

904
00:51:34,239 --> 00:51:39,040
Speaker 11: grid operator, COLE provided more generation on that peak winter

905
00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:42,320
Speaker 11: day than any other resource, and so it continues to

906
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:48,560
Speaker 11: play a very important critical role. Unfortunately, what we're concerned

907
00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:52,799
Speaker 11: about is this is happening while about one third of

908
00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:55,080
Speaker 11: the Cole fleet is scheduled to retire in the next

909
00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:59,719
Speaker 11: five years, largely due to past policy decisions. And these

910
00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:04,520
Speaker 11: plants they're not closing because they stopped working. They're closing

911
00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:08,080
Speaker 11: because we had bad policies a vote at both at

912
00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:11,080
Speaker 11: a federal and a state level pushing them out.

913
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:15,279
Speaker 1: Let me go back to this issue of the Midwest

914
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:20,120
Speaker 1: MISO grid. MISO the Energy Department waived emissions rules. This

915
00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:22,359
Speaker 1: is so this is the Trump administration, so that these

916
00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:25,560
Speaker 1: fossil fuel plants you're talking about could run at maximum

917
00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:29,880
Speaker 1: capacity early Sunday morning, coal accounted for forty percent of

918
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:33,480
Speaker 1: power in the Midwest MISO grid and twenty four percent

919
00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:38,080
Speaker 1: in the eastern US grid that was the PGAM interconnection,

920
00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:40,520
Speaker 1: eighteen percent in Texas. Most of the rest of the

921
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:44,040
Speaker 1: generation came from natural gas and nuclear. It would be

922
00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:46,200
Speaker 1: a huge mistake for us to continue to go down

923
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:50,960
Speaker 1: the road of attacking coal, but that's what some policymakers,

924
00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:54,520
Speaker 1: mostly Democrats, want to do. Michelle Bludworth from America's Power,

925
00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:57,160
Speaker 1: thanks for joining us. We'll check back in with you

926
00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:01,839
Speaker 1: as this winter weather can use. But the bottom line is,

927
00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:05,080
Speaker 1: if you're warm and you can turn on the heat

928
00:53:06,120 --> 00:53:08,200
Speaker 1: and you don't want to be sitting in zero degrees,

929
00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:12,800
Speaker 1: thank a coal miner, Thank a coal fired power plant,

930
00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 1: because that is the only reason you're able to do it.

931
00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:17,120
Speaker 2: When we come.

932
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:19,920
Speaker 1: Back, Josh Hammer is our special guest. We'll cover the

933
00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:22,560
Speaker 1: news of the day. It's common sense for the American people.

934
00:53:22,640 --> 00:53:24,840
Speaker 2: Stay with us. Hey, it's Scott Jennings.

935
00:53:24,840 --> 00:53:28,600
Speaker 1: You know, depending on where you live, crime may be skyrocketing,

936
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:31,920
Speaker 1: and you may already own a firearm. But before you

937
00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:36,040
Speaker 1: face the financial, legal, and emotional weight of pulling the trigger,

938
00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:37,680
Speaker 1: there's a smarter option.

939
00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:41,920
Speaker 2: It's called burna. That's b y R in A.

940
00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:47,600
Speaker 1: Burna makes a less lethal launcher that fires tear gas

941
00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:51,040
Speaker 1: and kinetic rounds designed to stop an attacker for up

942
00:53:51,080 --> 00:53:53,400
Speaker 1: to forty minutes. That gives you time to escape and

943
00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:58,680
Speaker 1: call for help without deadly consequences. Their best selling compact

944
00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:02,440
Speaker 1: launcher is sleep slim and incredibly powerful. It's about the

945
00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:06,680
Speaker 1: size of a smartphone, and it is ideal for concealed caring.

946
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:11,360
Speaker 1: It's comfortable, discreet, and confidence building. It fires at four

947
00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:15,440
Speaker 1: hundred feet per second with serious stopping power, enough to

948
00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:18,640
Speaker 1: shut down a threat fast without the legal and moral

949
00:54:18,719 --> 00:54:23,040
Speaker 1: complexity of lethal force. Burna is proudly American. Over eighty

950

Speaker 1: it that way. People underestimate this issue, this energy issue.

964
00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:22,360
Speaker 1: You just when something like this happens, it's not gonna

965

Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Scott Jennings Show.

974
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:55,880
Speaker 3: Scott, it's truly a pleasure to call you not just

975
00:55:55,960 --> 00:55:57,480
Speaker 3: from but also a colleague now with Salem.

976
00:55:57,480 --> 00:55:58,279
Speaker 2: I really appreciate it.

977
00:55:58,880 --> 00:56:00,840
Speaker 1: Well, we're glad to have you at Salem, and I

978
00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:03,480
Speaker 1: follow all your work and all your writing very closely.

979
00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:06,960
Speaker 1: We're gonna do a little breaking news with you this hour, Josh.

980
00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:10,600
Speaker 1: Let us listen in on the White House briefing taking

981
00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:13,440
Speaker 1: place just a little while ago in Washington.

982
00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:15,560
Speaker 2: This is Caroline Levitt.

983
00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:18,960
Speaker 1: So here's what's going on the President talked to Governor

984
00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:22,440
Speaker 1: Tim Walls of Minnesota. Today, both Trump and Walls have

985
00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:26,279
Speaker 1: acknowledged this. Trump issued what appeared to me to be

986
00:56:26,320 --> 00:56:31,360
Speaker 1: a rather conciliatory note about their call and their share goals.

987
00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:34,200
Speaker 1: Let's see what Caroline Levitt had to say about it.

988
00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:35,920
Speaker 1: Let's do cut fourteen.

989
00:56:37,239 --> 00:56:38,000
Speaker 12: In Minnesota.

990
00:56:38,840 --> 00:56:42,719
Speaker 13: Number One, Governor waltz Maerfry and all Democrat leaders should

991
00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:47,120
Speaker 13: turn over all criminal illegal aliens currently incarcerated in their

992
00:56:47,160 --> 00:56:51,040
Speaker 13: prisons in jails to federal authorities, along with any illegal

993
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:55,960
Speaker 13: aliens with active warrants or known criminal histories for immediate deportation.

994
00:56:56,920 --> 00:57:00,200
Speaker 13: Number two, State and local law enforcement must agree to

995
00:57:00,239 --> 00:57:05,520
Speaker 13: turn over all illegal aliens who are arrested by local police.

996
00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:09,520
Speaker 13: And then, thirdly, local police must assist federal law enforcement

997
00:57:09,560 --> 00:57:14,520
Speaker 13: in apprehending, in detaining illegal aliens who are wanted for crimes,

998
00:57:14,719 --> 00:57:20,160
Speaker 13: especially violent crimes. If Governor Wilson Mayrefry, implement these common sense,

999
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:24,000
Speaker 13: cooperative measures that I will add have already been implemented

1000
00:57:24,040 --> 00:57:28,480
Speaker 13: in nearly every single other state across the country. Customs

1001
00:57:28,480 --> 00:57:31,160
Speaker 13: and border patrol will not be needed to support ICE.

1002
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:32,560
Speaker 12: On the ground in Minnesota.

1003
00:57:32,760 --> 00:57:36,400
Speaker 13: ICE in local law enforcement can peacefully work together, as

1004
00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:41,160
Speaker 13: they are effectively doing in so many other states and jurisdictions. Additionally,

1005
00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:44,200
Speaker 13: President Trump is calling on the United States Congress to

1006
00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:49,000
Speaker 13: immediately pass legislation ending sanctuary cities once and for all.

1007
00:57:49,560 --> 00:57:53,920
Speaker 13: American cities should be safe sanctuaries for law abiding citizens only,

1008
00:57:54,440 --> 00:57:57,800
Speaker 13: not for dangerous illegal alien criminals who broke our nation's

1009
00:57:57,880 --> 00:58:01,040
Speaker 13: laws and do not belong here. We hope Governor Walls

1010
00:58:01,080 --> 00:58:03,880
Speaker 13: will con will do the right thing and continue to

1011
00:58:03,920 --> 00:58:07,200
Speaker 13: work with President Trump to keep the American people safe.

1012
00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:09,120
Speaker 2: Following their call this morning.

1013
00:58:09,240 --> 00:58:12,520
Speaker 1: I'm here, all right, Josh, what's your reaction to this

1014
00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:14,560
Speaker 1: and the news that Trump and Walls are talking?

1015
00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:19,800
Speaker 3: Well, I suppose Scott's better to be talking than not talking.

1016
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:22,440
Speaker 3: I mean, I wouldn't take this guy's word, frankly, for

1017
00:58:22,520 --> 00:58:25,440
Speaker 3: very much. I mean, Tim Walls, Keith Ellis, and Jacob Prye,

1018
00:58:25,840 --> 00:58:28,880
Speaker 3: the whole litany of Democratic leaders there in the Land

1019
00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:31,720
Speaker 3: of ten Thousand Lakes. I mean, they're really riling up

1020
00:58:31,760 --> 00:58:36,080
Speaker 3: the people's passions with this incessant demagogurey. And you know

1021
00:58:36,200 --> 00:58:38,480
Speaker 3: the point, Scott, that I've been making on my own program,

1022
00:58:38,480 --> 00:58:41,040
Speaker 3: The Josh Hammer Show for weeks and weeks now is

1023
00:58:41,040 --> 00:58:44,960
Speaker 3: putting on my American history buff cap, especially if someone

1024
00:58:45,080 --> 00:58:49,240
Speaker 3: born on Abraham Lincoln's birthday. I'm getting some odd flashbacks

1025
00:58:49,320 --> 00:58:51,920
Speaker 3: to like middle school high school history when it comes

1026
00:58:51,960 --> 00:58:54,520
Speaker 3: to the mid nineteenth century, if you catch my drift.

1027
00:58:54,840 --> 00:58:57,640
Speaker 3: I was listening to Keith Elison, the Attorney General of

1028
00:58:57,640 --> 00:59:00,880
Speaker 3: Minnesota a couple weeks ago, read off he complaint about

1029
00:59:00,880 --> 00:59:03,320
Speaker 3: this lawsuit that he was filing along with Jacob Fry

1030
00:59:03,320 --> 00:59:06,320
Speaker 3: in Minneapolis and their twin city, Saint Paul, against Christy

1031
00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:09,160
Speaker 3: Noahm and DHS. And he was there and he was

1032
00:59:09,160 --> 00:59:12,600
Speaker 3: saying that the Tenth Amendment states rights, the federal government

1033
00:59:12,640 --> 00:59:15,400
Speaker 3: does not belong. Here's essentially he was saying. He literally said,

1034
00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:17,440
Speaker 3: the Tenth Amendment states rights, all this stuff. And I'm

1035
00:59:17,480 --> 00:59:20,240
Speaker 3: sitting there, Scott, thinking, my goodness, gracious, if you put

1036
00:59:20,240 --> 00:59:22,880
Speaker 3: on a Southern draw there, you could be mistaken for

1037
00:59:23,080 --> 00:59:24,920
Speaker 3: thinking that you listen to the ghost of John C.

1038
00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:28,440
Speaker 3: Calhoun and the multification crisis that led to the Civil War.

1039
00:59:28,520 --> 00:59:31,040
Speaker 3: So this is really dangerous stuff. And I would cautioned

1040
00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:34,200
Speaker 3: the President against trusting these hooligans too much, But as

1041
00:59:34,200 --> 00:59:35,960
Speaker 3: I said, it's better to be talking certainly than not

1042
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:36,480
Speaker 3: to be talking.

1043
00:59:37,280 --> 00:59:40,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know what's going to happen here.

1044
00:59:40,360 --> 00:59:42,800
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously Trump, I'm sure when he turns on

1045
00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:46,200
Speaker 1: his television, no president wants to see chaos. And I

1046
00:59:46,240 --> 00:59:50,880
Speaker 1: think Trump is in an interesting situation here because we're

1047
00:59:50,880 --> 00:59:53,280
Speaker 1: really not doing anything different in Minneapolis than we're doing

1048
00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:56,920
Speaker 1: in any other place enforcing federal immigration law. Yet what

1049
00:59:57,040 --> 00:59:59,840
Speaker 1: you have are local democrats who simply think they, as

1050
00:59:59,840 --> 01:00:02,200
Speaker 1: you pointed out, should exist in a state of secession.

1051
01:00:04,160 --> 01:00:06,200
Speaker 1: But at the same time, you don't want the chaos

1052
01:00:06,200 --> 01:00:07,680
Speaker 1: to continue to be playing out.

1053
01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:09,640
Speaker 2: You also don't want to be run out of town.

1054
01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:11,800
Speaker 1: I mean, it seems to me the worst case scenario

1055
01:00:11,880 --> 01:00:14,400
Speaker 1: here would be for federal agents to be run out

1056
01:00:14,440 --> 01:00:16,320
Speaker 1: of town, because then it would be open season on

1057
01:00:16,400 --> 01:00:18,880
Speaker 1: federal law enforcement all over the country.

1058
01:00:18,920 --> 01:00:19,880
Speaker 2: This is a test case.

1059
01:00:19,960 --> 01:00:22,360
Speaker 1: Are we going to see through the enforcement of federal

1060
01:00:22,360 --> 01:00:24,080
Speaker 1: immigration law we're going to be run out of town.

1061
01:00:24,080 --> 01:00:25,919
Speaker 2: I don't think Trump can permit that. What do you think?

1062
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:30,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's basically a do it or you don't situation.

1063
01:00:30,480 --> 01:00:33,200
Speaker 3: Scott As a general rule in life, I'm not a

1064
01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:35,920
Speaker 3: big fan of half measures. If you commit to something,

1065
01:00:36,080 --> 01:00:38,640
Speaker 3: I'm a big opponent of actually fully committing to it,

1066
01:00:39,080 --> 01:00:42,800
Speaker 3: and they've committed to this. DHS fully committed to this

1067
01:00:42,880 --> 01:00:46,680
Speaker 3: immigration force and operation of Minneapolis. Following the national explosion

1068
01:00:46,720 --> 01:00:49,880
Speaker 3: of the Somali fraud scandal, the Nike Sureley video Christopher

1069
01:00:49,920 --> 01:00:53,919
Speaker 3: Rufer is amazing investigations and all that there, and that's

1070
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:59,240
Speaker 3: directly what precipitated this current extent, ongoing operation there in

1071
01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:00,480
Speaker 3: the Twin Cities.

1072
01:01:00,560 --> 01:01:02,680
Speaker 2: And you can't give up at this point.

1073
01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:05,080
Speaker 3: Look, I've had friends, Scott who have said to me,

1074
01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:08,600
Speaker 3: some fellow lawyers, say, look, Minnesota's a failed state. You know,

1075
01:01:08,680 --> 01:01:12,200
Speaker 3: let them just just just eats what they have had,

1076
01:01:12,240 --> 01:01:15,520
Speaker 3: what they have prepared themselves. I mean, let them ultimately

1077
01:01:15,560 --> 01:01:18,919
Speaker 3: bear the fruits of their own insidiousness and their own

1078
01:01:18,960 --> 01:01:22,000
Speaker 3: insurrection ory behavior. And I'm very sympathetic to that certainly.

1079
01:01:22,160 --> 01:01:24,560
Speaker 3: I mean, this whole repoot you so mentality, But I

1080
01:01:24,560 --> 01:01:26,800
Speaker 3: think your point is ultimately the stronger one, which is that,

1081
01:01:26,800 --> 01:01:29,120
Speaker 3: I mean, that's the Abraham Lincoln point, is that you

1082
01:01:29,200 --> 01:01:33,800
Speaker 3: can't let states, municipalitis, localities get around, which is nullifying

1083
01:01:33,880 --> 01:01:37,760
Speaker 3: federal law. Six hundred thousand plus Americans paid the ultimate,

1084
01:01:38,040 --> 01:01:41,280
Speaker 3: the ultimate sacrifice. They literally gave their lives to establish

1085
01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:44,160
Speaker 3: establish that proposition. We ended a century of Jim Crow,

1086
01:01:44,440 --> 01:01:46,960
Speaker 3: Praise be to God, the nineteen sixties to again end

1087
01:01:47,080 --> 01:01:50,040
Speaker 3: this notion that you can just nullify federal law. Immigration

1088
01:01:50,120 --> 01:01:52,080
Speaker 3: law has been part of federal law essentially since this

1089
01:01:52,200 --> 01:01:55,360
Speaker 3: nation's founding. Article one sectionally in the Constitution allows Congress

1090
01:01:55,440 --> 01:01:58,880
Speaker 3: to prescribe a uniform rule of naturalization. This is bread

1091
01:01:58,920 --> 01:02:01,560
Speaker 3: and butter federal law there. And you can't let these

1092
01:02:01,560 --> 01:02:03,440
Speaker 3: people get away with it, because you're right. If you

1093
01:02:03,520 --> 01:02:07,240
Speaker 3: embolden Waltz and Ellison Frye and the Minnesota Democratic Establishment,

1094
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:09,280
Speaker 3: they will be embold in New York, San Francisco and

1095
01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:11,520
Speaker 3: Los Angeles. I mean, imagine the field day that Zori

1096
01:02:11,560 --> 01:02:13,600
Speaker 3: mount Donnie would have with this if he sees his

1097
01:02:13,680 --> 01:02:16,320
Speaker 3: mini experiment and in Minnesota the way that I think

1098
01:02:16,360 --> 01:02:19,440
Speaker 3: the Minnesotas or the the Minnesota Democratic establishment wants it to.

1099
01:02:20,240 --> 01:02:23,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, the insurrection ultimately has to be put down. And

1100
01:02:23,360 --> 01:02:24,480
Speaker 1: that's my next question for you.

1101
01:02:24,560 --> 01:02:24,800
Speaker 10: Josh.

1102
01:02:24,840 --> 01:02:26,920
Speaker 1: We're talking to Josh Hammer, by the way, the Josh

1103
01:02:26,960 --> 01:02:29,520
Speaker 1: Hammer podcast here on Salem, among many other hats that

1104
01:02:29,560 --> 01:02:36,680
Speaker 1: he wears, and the difference between protesting and in interfering

1105
01:02:36,720 --> 01:02:41,080
Speaker 1: with federal law enforcement. There's a clear line. Caroline Levitt

1106
01:02:41,240 --> 01:02:43,919
Speaker 1: got asked about this today. Let's hear cut fifteen. Let's

1107
01:02:43,920 --> 01:02:45,920
Speaker 1: hear Levitt. Then I want to hear Josh's reaction.

1108
01:02:45,960 --> 01:02:46,480
Speaker 2: Here's Levitt.

1109
01:02:47,440 --> 01:02:50,560
Speaker 7: Is it the White House's position that Americans have the

1110
01:02:50,680 --> 01:02:53,440
Speaker 7: right to show up to these ice operations and film,

1111
01:02:53,600 --> 01:02:56,120
Speaker 7: document or protest the law enforcement actions?

1112
01:02:56,240 --> 01:03:01,120
Speaker 12: All Americans have a First Amendment constitutional right of But

1113
01:03:01,240 --> 01:03:04,600
Speaker 12: Americans do not have a constitutional right to impede and

1114
01:03:05,040 --> 01:03:10,760
Speaker 12: obstruct lawful immigration enforcement operations. That is actually a crime,

1115
01:03:11,040 --> 01:03:12,840
Speaker 12: and it's something that we've seen taking place in the

1116
01:03:12,840 --> 01:03:16,360
Speaker 12: streets of Minneapolis, which again is leading to these dangerous

1117
01:03:16,400 --> 01:03:20,160
Speaker 12: circumstances that these federal law enforcement officers have been forced

1118
01:03:20,160 --> 01:03:20,560
Speaker 12: to work with.

1119
01:03:21,600 --> 01:03:24,000
Speaker 1: It seems to me, Josh, that what's happening here is

1120
01:03:24,040 --> 01:03:27,240
Speaker 1: the Left is trying to shift the conversation about protesting

1121
01:03:27,800 --> 01:03:31,520
Speaker 1: so that you believe anybody would believe that touching a

1122
01:03:31,560 --> 01:03:34,240
Speaker 1: federal law enforcement agent getting in the middle of an arrest,

1123
01:03:34,320 --> 01:03:36,880
Speaker 1: blowing a whistle two inches from their face, hitting them

1124
01:03:36,880 --> 01:03:40,600
Speaker 1: with your car, et cetera, et cetera, is somehow protected speech.

1125
01:03:40,640 --> 01:03:42,080
Speaker 2: But that is not the case.

1126
01:03:42,120 --> 01:03:46,120
Speaker 1: There is a difference between protesting, which is allowed under

1127
01:03:46,160 --> 01:03:49,400
Speaker 1: the First Amendment, and doing any of those things. And

1128
01:03:49,840 --> 01:03:52,480
Speaker 1: it feels like the left, in collusion with the media,

1129
01:03:53,240 --> 01:03:57,640
Speaker 1: is trying to move this conversation around when really, in

1130
01:03:57,680 --> 01:04:00,440
Speaker 1: my opinion, all they're doing is convinced seeing a bunch

1131
01:04:00,480 --> 01:04:02,919
Speaker 1: of people, radicalizing a bunch of people into doing things

1132
01:04:02,920 --> 01:04:05,960
Speaker 1: that are putting them in harm's way, getting people injured

1133
01:04:05,960 --> 01:04:07,720
Speaker 1: and now unfortunately two people killed.

1134
01:04:09,560 --> 01:04:12,880
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Scott, they are absolutely riling up stirring up

1135
01:04:12,920 --> 01:04:14,800
Speaker 3: the people's passions there. I mean, and this is the

1136
01:04:14,840 --> 01:04:17,800
Speaker 3: worst of demagoguery. I mean, they are they you know

1137
01:04:17,880 --> 01:04:19,960
Speaker 3: it is, Scott, I think I think that you appreciate this.

1138
01:04:20,360 --> 01:04:23,880
Speaker 3: It's very similar to the Hamas playbook. Think about what

1139
01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:27,480
Speaker 3: happens in Gaza with with Hamas controlling ever since they

1140
01:04:27,520 --> 01:04:29,160
Speaker 3: took over in two thousand and seven. There they have

1141
01:04:29,240 --> 01:04:32,760
Speaker 3: this deeply cynical pr propaganda strategy where they will use

1142
01:04:32,800 --> 01:04:34,800
Speaker 3: their own people, essentially trying to put them out there

1143
01:04:34,800 --> 01:04:37,960
Speaker 3: as cannon fodder, as martyrs, and they know they're going

1144
01:04:38,000 --> 01:04:40,200
Speaker 3: to be killed, but they're trying to win the information war.

1145
01:04:40,240 --> 01:04:43,240
Speaker 3: They're trying to win the war of propaganda, and that's

1146
01:04:43,320 --> 01:04:48,439
Speaker 3: that's roughly analogous to what Tim Wall's, Jacob Frai Keith

1147
01:04:48,440 --> 01:04:50,720
Speaker 3: Ellison are more or less doing with this rhetoric that's

1148
01:04:50,760 --> 01:04:53,480
Speaker 3: getting people like Renee Good, getting people like alicx Prady

1149
01:04:53,520 --> 01:04:56,440
Speaker 3: to get out there ultimately willing to put themselves in

1150
01:04:56,480 --> 01:04:59,439
Speaker 3: the middle of obstructing an active law enforcement operation there.

1151
01:04:59,800 --> 01:05:02,960
Speaker 3: And therefore it really is a Democrat established and in

1152
01:05:03,040 --> 01:05:06,440
Speaker 3: the state that is ultimately culpable I think for what

1153
01:05:06,440 --> 01:05:09,640
Speaker 3: we are currently seeing there. And yes, they are totally

1154
01:05:09,680 --> 01:05:12,280
Speaker 3: obfuscating and mudding the waters when it comes to this

1155
01:05:12,720 --> 01:05:16,920
Speaker 3: legal distinction between first men protected speech and protests versus

1156
01:05:17,520 --> 01:05:19,680
Speaker 3: things like trespass. I mean, think about the church that

1157
01:05:19,840 --> 01:05:23,640
Speaker 3: was invaded, that was trespassed in Saint Paul, Minnesota last Sunday.

1158
01:05:23,680 --> 01:05:27,480
Speaker 3: I mean don lemon getting there saying a first memen right, No,

1159
01:05:27,600 --> 01:05:29,560
Speaker 3: you don't. You have a first man right to stand

1160
01:05:29,600 --> 01:05:32,200
Speaker 3: on the sidewalk outside the church and hold your dumb

1161
01:05:32,320 --> 01:05:35,280
Speaker 3: Soros funded sign whatever it is there. You can't trespass

1162
01:05:35,280 --> 01:05:38,120
Speaker 3: a private property there. Keith Ellison, who's the Attorney General

1163
01:05:38,160 --> 01:05:40,520
Speaker 3: of State, apparently he has to go back to and

1164
01:05:40,560 --> 01:05:42,920
Speaker 3: revisit kam law one on one from Law school. He

1165
01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:45,640
Speaker 3: was saying that the first men protects that. No it doesn't.

1166
01:05:45,680 --> 01:05:49,320
Speaker 3: It's literally a private property trespass. Similarly, Alex pretty over

1167
01:05:49,320 --> 01:05:52,680
Speaker 3: the weekend there, he brought a loaded firearm and started

1168
01:05:52,840 --> 01:05:58,080
Speaker 3: messing with federal federal law enforcement officials. Scott, I carry

1169
01:05:58,240 --> 01:06:00,919
Speaker 3: a firearm every single day. I'm a big concealed carry guy,

1170
01:06:00,960 --> 01:06:03,960
Speaker 3: big Second Amendment guide there when I hypothetically I don't

1171
01:06:03,960 --> 01:06:05,280
Speaker 3: really go to protest, but if I were to go

1172
01:06:05,320 --> 01:06:09,320
Speaker 3: to a protest with federal law enforcement officers, I probably

1173
01:06:09,320 --> 01:06:11,480
Speaker 3: would leave my gun at home. I mean, there's a

1174
01:06:11,480 --> 01:06:13,560
Speaker 3: thing called the Second Amendment. There's also a thing called

1175
01:06:13,680 --> 01:06:16,560
Speaker 3: common sense, and there seems to be a tremendous dearth

1176
01:06:16,600 --> 01:06:19,240
Speaker 3: of common sense there in the land of ten thousand leagues.

1177
01:06:20,240 --> 01:06:25,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, I'm protective of people exercising their Second

1178
01:06:25,480 --> 01:06:26,200
Speaker 1: Amendment rights.

1179
01:06:26,400 --> 01:06:27,000
Speaker 2: I really am.

1180
01:06:27,160 --> 01:06:29,800
Speaker 1: And I don't have a problem with people carrying guns

1181
01:06:29,840 --> 01:06:32,400
Speaker 1: as long as they're following all the laws, regulations and

1182
01:06:32,680 --> 01:06:35,240
Speaker 1: so on and so forth. What I have a problem with, Josh,

1183
01:06:35,320 --> 01:06:38,280
Speaker 1: is whether you're carrying a gun or not when you

1184
01:06:38,520 --> 01:06:41,640
Speaker 1: walk yourself or drive yourself into the middle of a

1185
01:06:41,680 --> 01:06:45,600
Speaker 1: law enforcement situation. So law enforcement is arresting someone, they're

1186
01:06:45,600 --> 01:06:50,440
Speaker 1: detaining someone, they're pursuing someone, they're in a street, they're

1187
01:06:50,520 --> 01:06:53,320
Speaker 1: running a checkpoint, whatever they're doing. When you put yourself

1188
01:06:53,360 --> 01:06:58,280
Speaker 1: in the middle of that, you are interfering with that operation.

1189
01:06:58,440 --> 01:07:01,520
Speaker 1: You're violating the law at that point, and that's when

1190
01:07:01,600 --> 01:07:04,480
Speaker 1: chaos ensues. And so you know, whether you're carrying a

1191
01:07:04,560 --> 01:07:06,760
Speaker 1: gun or not. I mean, it wasn't smart for him,

1192
01:07:07,160 --> 01:07:11,480
Speaker 1: obviously to engage with the law enforcement. I'm protective of

1193
01:07:11,480 --> 01:07:13,800
Speaker 1: the Second Amendment piece on this, but I'm with you

1194
01:07:14,560 --> 01:07:16,480
Speaker 1: when it comes right down to it, a little common sense.

1195
01:07:16,520 --> 01:07:19,120
Speaker 1: It's really easy, by the way, to not get yourself

1196
01:07:19,760 --> 01:07:22,720
Speaker 1: in these situations, and you have to really try to

1197
01:07:22,760 --> 01:07:25,880
Speaker 1: get yourself into them. And that's what, unfortunately, some people

1198
01:07:25,920 --> 01:07:28,440
Speaker 1: are being instructed to do more with Josh Hammer in

1199
01:07:28,480 --> 01:07:31,120
Speaker 1: just a moment, if you are stressed about getting out

1200
01:07:31,120 --> 01:07:33,600
Speaker 1: of debt, it's go time here in the new year,

1219
01:08:27,760 --> 01:08:30,600
Speaker 1: It's Scott Jennings here on Salem.

1220
01:08:30,520 --> 01:08:34,360
Speaker 5: News Comment and the stories in facts the mainstream media.

1221
01:08:34,240 --> 01:08:37,400
Speaker 2: Refuses to discuss. It's the Scott Jennings Show.

1222
01:08:38,360 --> 01:08:41,559
Speaker 1: Home stretch here on Monday, January twenty six, common Sense

1223
01:08:41,600 --> 01:08:44,400
Speaker 1: for the American People. Scott Jennings is here on Salem

1224
01:08:44,400 --> 01:08:48,440
Speaker 1: my special guest fellow Salem colleague Josh.

1225
01:08:48,200 --> 01:08:51,760
Speaker 2: Hammer, also editor at large at Newsweek. Josh.

1226
01:08:51,840 --> 01:08:54,280
Speaker 1: It looks like Walls has put out a statement on

1227
01:08:54,360 --> 01:08:57,679
Speaker 1: his conversation with Trump. The president and governor Wall spoke today,

1228
01:08:58,439 --> 01:09:00,880
Speaker 1: and you know, here's the problem with Walls. He is

1229
01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:04,360
Speaker 1: dishonest and he is a buffoon. And here's so when

1230
01:09:04,400 --> 01:09:07,479
Speaker 1: you're negotiating with someone who's a dishonest buffoon, you have

1231
01:09:07,520 --> 01:09:12,519
Speaker 1: a problem. Walls, in his statement says that Minnesota Department

1232
01:09:12,560 --> 01:09:15,080
Speaker 1: of Corrections honors federal detainers.

1233
01:09:16,600 --> 01:09:19,040
Speaker 2: That's true. That's true.

1234
01:09:19,120 --> 01:09:23,160
Speaker 1: So the state prisons do honor federal detainers.

1235
01:09:23,200 --> 01:09:24,439
Speaker 2: But that's not the issue.

1236
01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:29,120
Speaker 1: The issue is that Minneapolis and also county jails do not.

1237
01:09:30,200 --> 01:09:31,120
Speaker 2: That's the issue.

1238
01:09:31,200 --> 01:09:34,479
Speaker 1: That's where Ice wants to be in the city, in

1239
01:09:34,600 --> 01:09:37,439
Speaker 1: county jails, that's where Jacob Fry comes in. He's not

1240
01:09:37,840 --> 01:09:41,559
Speaker 1: cooperating with federal law enforcement. So when I hear the

1241
01:09:41,560 --> 01:09:44,759
Speaker 1: President talking to Walls, and I see his conciliatory note

1242
01:09:44,760 --> 01:09:47,640
Speaker 1: about the whole thing, then I see Walls putting out

1243
01:09:47,640 --> 01:09:51,360
Speaker 1: a statement which is fundamentally very misleading.

1244
01:09:51,920 --> 01:09:54,360
Speaker 2: It makes me think, how can you ever.

1245
01:09:54,240 --> 01:09:58,200
Speaker 1: Get to a negotiated settlement here where we're enforcing federal

1246
01:09:58,280 --> 01:10:02,680
Speaker 1: law and Democrats are actually being cooperative and productive. It

1247
01:10:02,680 --> 01:10:04,240
Speaker 1: seems to me all they want to do is lie

1248
01:10:04,320 --> 01:10:05,200
Speaker 1: and create narratives.

1249
01:10:05,240 --> 01:10:08,200
Speaker 2: Josh, how do you see it? You know, before the

1250
01:10:08,200 --> 01:10:08,759
Speaker 2: break Scott.

1251
01:10:09,160 --> 01:10:12,680
Speaker 3: I was drawing this analogy of the obstinate democratic establishment

1252
01:10:12,680 --> 01:10:16,559
Speaker 3: in Minnesota to Hamas insofar as not that they are

1253
01:10:16,640 --> 01:10:20,680
Speaker 3: literally seventh century aspiring genocidal Jihadis, but they have this

1254
01:10:20,720 --> 01:10:24,800
Speaker 3: deeply cynical propaganda pr strategy where they are open willing,

1255
01:10:24,920 --> 01:10:28,040
Speaker 3: perhaps dare I say, even eager to increase the violence

1256
01:10:28,040 --> 01:10:31,439
Speaker 3: and bloodshed for the sake of scoring partisan political points

1257
01:10:31,439 --> 01:10:33,400
Speaker 3: against the opposition. And if you want to take this

1258
01:10:33,400 --> 01:10:36,759
Speaker 3: analogy a little further here, I think it's also instructive

1259
01:10:36,760 --> 01:10:40,240
Speaker 3: because one lesson that Israel has learned really really much

1260
01:10:40,280 --> 01:10:42,439
Speaker 3: the hard way, like the very very hard way, over

1261
01:10:42,439 --> 01:10:44,640
Speaker 3: the past, in the past fifteen years, really over the

1262
01:10:44,640 --> 01:10:47,439
Speaker 3: past six seven decades of their existence, is that when

1263
01:10:47,479 --> 01:10:50,360
Speaker 3: it comes to a lot of these of these ravanchist

1264
01:10:50,640 --> 01:10:55,880
Speaker 3: Arab forces, and especially with jihadism, you can't negotiate your

1265
01:10:55,920 --> 01:10:57,960
Speaker 3: way out. There is one language to speak, and that

1266
01:10:58,040 --> 01:11:00,439
Speaker 3: language is power. So that's a very very kind of

1267
01:11:00,560 --> 01:11:02,360
Speaker 3: hamhand the way of them getting us back to this

1268
01:11:02,439 --> 01:11:06,400
Speaker 3: situation Minnesota there, which is I don't think that nice

1269
01:11:06,479 --> 01:11:10,200
Speaker 3: words are ultimately going to rectify this situation, because you're

1270
01:11:10,200 --> 01:11:14,000
Speaker 3: dealing here with an opposition party that being the Minnesota

1271
01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:17,160
Speaker 3: Democratic establishment, whether it's Tim Walls, Jacob pry, Keith Ellison,

1272
01:11:17,479 --> 01:11:22,680
Speaker 3: Ilan Omar, all of them, they're deeply disingenuous. They're dissembling,

1273
01:11:23,360 --> 01:11:26,880
Speaker 3: as you correctly note here with this responseout detainers. They're

1274
01:11:26,960 --> 01:11:28,920
Speaker 3: too cute by half. They're not really given the full

1275
01:11:28,960 --> 01:11:32,040
Speaker 3: story there. And I do think that much as Israel

1276
01:11:32,120 --> 01:11:33,639
Speaker 3: learned when it comes to Hamas, I think that Donald

1277
01:11:33,640 --> 01:11:35,920
Speaker 3: Trump is going to have to respond to here with power.

1278
01:11:36,120 --> 01:11:38,880
Speaker 3: That doesn't mean bombing Minnesota our own cities, obviously, but

1279
01:11:38,920 --> 01:11:43,320
Speaker 3: it does mean an overwhelming demonstration of federal law enforcement.

1280
01:11:43,680 --> 01:11:46,160
Speaker 3: In my estimation, that ought to include the invocation of

1281
01:11:46,200 --> 01:11:50,080
Speaker 3: the Insurrection Act. This Thomas Jefferson era eighteen oh seven statutes, which,

1282
01:11:50,120 --> 01:11:52,280
Speaker 3: by the way, to go back to our Abraham Lincoln point.

1283
01:11:52,320 --> 01:11:55,160
Speaker 3: Lincoln invoked the Insurrection Act within days of the Confederate

1284
01:11:55,200 --> 01:11:58,280
Speaker 3: firing on Fort Sumter and South Carolina, so there's ample

1285
01:11:58,320 --> 01:12:01,519
Speaker 3: precedent of this. Where there is insurrection indianterior, you invoke

1286
01:12:01,560 --> 01:12:05,640
Speaker 3: this particular statute there, you then enable active duty military

1287
01:12:05,680 --> 01:12:08,360
Speaker 3: to go in for domestic law enforcement purposes there. I'm

1288
01:12:08,400 --> 01:12:10,200
Speaker 3: not saying that there'll be a panacea. I wouldn't make

1289
01:12:10,240 --> 01:12:11,960
Speaker 3: all our problems go away, but I think it potentially

1290
01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:14,160
Speaker 3: go a very long way. You also need to need

1291
01:12:14,240 --> 01:12:18,240
Speaker 3: to obviously defund every federal taxpayer money from these so

1292
01:12:18,320 --> 01:12:21,960
Speaker 3: called sanctuary jurisdictions. There is ample legal runway to do this.

1293
01:12:22,160 --> 01:12:24,840
Speaker 3: There's a late nineteen eighty screen court case called South

1294
01:12:24,920 --> 01:12:27,960
Speaker 3: Dakota versus Dole, where they basically said that in order

1295
01:12:28,040 --> 01:12:30,840
Speaker 3: to have these states assist the federal government in enforcing

1296
01:12:30,920 --> 01:12:33,760
Speaker 3: the mandatory drinking age, which was then raised twenty one

1297
01:12:33,840 --> 01:12:36,360
Speaker 3: years old, you could with threatened to withhold or actually

1298
01:12:36,360 --> 01:12:39,800
Speaker 3: withhold funding from the states when it comes to related

1299
01:12:40,000 --> 01:12:43,160
Speaker 3: topics there. So, for instance, the speed limits and the highways,

1300
01:12:43,240 --> 01:12:46,720
Speaker 3: things that have a close substantive nexus to the drinking age,

1301
01:12:46,760 --> 01:12:49,559
Speaker 3: you can withhold related funding. So here, what I've been

1302
01:12:49,600 --> 01:12:52,000
Speaker 3: saying for a long time now is that the Pambondi

1303
01:12:52,080 --> 01:12:55,520
Speaker 3: led DOJ, the Chrisnam led DHS, they should do withholding

1304
01:12:55,640 --> 01:13:00,400
Speaker 3: every penny of related funding to states municipalities there. Frankly,

1305
01:13:00,479 --> 01:13:03,799
Speaker 3: DOJ gives a lot of block grand funding to local

1306
01:13:03,840 --> 01:13:07,240
Speaker 3: police departments, and these funds for these social and sanctuy

1307
01:13:07,320 --> 01:13:10,559
Speaker 3: jurisdictions should all be withheld, each and every one of them.

1308
01:13:10,600 --> 01:13:14,320
Speaker 3: Every Penny mystmation unless until they bend the knee and

1309
01:13:14,479 --> 01:13:17,320
Speaker 3: agree to not merely not obstruct, but I would say

1310
01:13:17,320 --> 01:13:20,160
Speaker 3: to actively assist in federal law enforcement operations.

1311
01:13:20,920 --> 01:13:23,240
Speaker 1: Josh Hammer is our guest. He is a new colleague
