13
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 3: With the news, I want to offer my personal thanks

14
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 3: to President Larry Arne at Hillsdale College. We had an

15
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 3: amazing event last night up on Amelia Island, Florida, a

16
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 3: huge crowd like eight hundred plus people at the Hillsdale

17
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 3: National Leadership Seminar. I was honored to deliver the keynote

18
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 3: speech at the dinner. I spoke about Western civilization to

19
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 3: a university that very much teaches its students about the West,

20
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 3: about American exceptionalism. They don't take federal money. It's just

21
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 3: a truly a great university with a terrific president, a

22
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 3: great mission, and a great leadership team. So again, thank

23
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 3: you to President Larry arn and Hillsdale for the invitation

24
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 3: to be with you all.

25
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 4: At Amelia Island last night. Onto the news now.

26
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 3: President Trump held a meeting of his new Board of

27
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 3: Peace this morning in Washington, DC. Lots of speeches and

28
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 3: some comments from the President about Iran. Let's hear that

29
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 3: cut number ten.

30
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 5: Now is the time for Iran to join us on

31
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 5: a path that will complete what we're doing.

32
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 2: And if they join us, that'll be great.

33
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 5: If they don't join us, that'll be great too, but

34
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 5: it'll be a very different path. They cannot continue to

35
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:03,559
Speaker 5: threaten this ability of the entire region and they must

36
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 5: make a deal or if that doesn't happen, I maybe

37
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 5: can understand if it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen, but.

38
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 2: Bad things will happen if it does it.

39
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 3: We'll talk later in the show with an Iran expert

40
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,839
Speaker 3: for the latest on this situation. The President is now

41
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 3: off to Georgia. He's holding some affordability events. There Today

42
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 3: another tragedy on Indiana roadways, another illegal alien behind the

43
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 3: wheel of a semi tractor trailer. This happened in Hendricks County, Indiana,

44
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 3: where the big truck crashed into another driver, killing him.

45
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 3: The illegal alien in question here is from India. He

46
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 3: was caught and released at the border in twenty eighteen.

47
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 3: He was a miner at the time. His name is

48
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 3: Singh soup Deep and he received his CDL from the

49
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 3: State of Indiana in May of twenty twenty five.

50
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 4: He is now said to be in ice custody.

51
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 3: The BBC reports that police have arrested Andrew mount Batton Windsor,

52
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 3: the former Prince Andrew, on suspicion of misconduct in public office. Now,

53
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 3: police in the UK don't normally name suspects when they

54
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 3: are arrested, but the word is out that it is

55
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 3: Prince Andrew, and although his name has been tossed out

56
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 3: in regards to the Epstein files lately, this indictment apparently

57
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 3: has nothing to do with that. It appears that he

58
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 3: may have shared sensitive or classified information regarding trips he

59
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 3: took as UK's Special Representative for International Trade.

60
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 4: So we'll keep an eye on that one.

61
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 3: Elections have consequences file New York City. Addition, more budget news.

62
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 3: We told you yesterday that Mom Donnie has proposed massive

63
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 3: new property tax increases, and today comes word of budget

64
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 3: cuts to the New York City Police Department. Mom Donnie

65
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 3: wants to cut twenty two million from the police budget

66
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 3: and get rid of five thousand cops in the process. Again,

67
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 3: they spend billions on illegal immigrant services there, and they

68
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 3: are now raising taxes on American citizens and cutting police

69
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 3: presence in the city, and it gets worse. Listen more

70
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 3: here to the new mayor cut number one.

71
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 6: There is a reason that we did not include these

72
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 6: in our city's attempts to get to five point four billion,

73
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 6: because these are the rating of reserves that we do

74
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 6: not want to pursue. These are the kinds of reserves

75
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 6: that what we would rather do is ensure that they

76
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 6: remain as they are so that the city can be

77
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 6: on firm financial footing. However, in order to get to

78
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 6: this point of closing the gap on both this fiscal

79
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 6: year and the next fiscal year, we are forced to

80
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 6: raid the Rainy Day Fund, the Retiree Health Benefits Trust Reserve,

81
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 6: and to increase property taxes across these other.

82
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 4: Years, raiding surpluses, raising taxes.

83
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 3: Also in Mamdani's budget, he's asking for one point two

84
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 3: billion dollars more for illegal ima mimigrants. That's on top

85
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 3: of the billions they've already spent. This is the democratic plan, folks,

86
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 3: take from you give to illegal aliens. Elections have consequences.

87
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 3: Part two. Virginia. Addition, major airplane manufacturer and defense contractor

88
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 3: Boeing is moving its defense headquarters out of northern Virginia

89
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 3: and back to Saint Louis, Missouri. The move comes just

90
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 3: a few weeks after new Democratic governor Abigail Spanberger was

91
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 3: sworn in, and she's taken a slew of anti business

92
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 3: positions in the process. Virginia has an anti business governor,

93
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 3: Missouri has a pro growth governor and big company there

94
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 3: reacted accordingly. Georgia Senator John Ossoff raising eyebrows last night

95
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 3: during an interview with Stephen Colbert. Listen to how he

96
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 3: describes the people who voted for Donald Trump for president

97
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 3: cut number eight.

98
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 7: Donald Trump himself is a symptom of a deeper disease

99
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 7: in our society.

100
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 2: I mean, how is it that a.

101
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 7: Demagogue who promised to tear it all down, was twice

102
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 7: elected to the presidency on false promises.

103
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 4: Did you catch that?

104
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 3: If you voted for Donald Trump, you are a diseased

105
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 3: part of American society. And you know what they do

106
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 3: to diseases. They must be cured or cut out and discarded.

107
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 3: Pretty dark stuff, folks, coming from someone that many Democrats

108
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 3: will tout for president should he win reelection in Georgia

109
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 3: for Senate this year. Out in Oregon, a dangerous illegal

110
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 3: alien off the streets, let's hear cut Number three.

111
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 8: US marshalls say that they've arrested a member of the

112
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 8: Venezuelan gang Trendell Ragua.

113
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 2: In Hillsboro today.

114
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,919
Speaker 8: They found and arrested Heyesus Lopez Gonzalez while he was

115
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 8: walking to a store, calling him a fugitive associated with

116
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 8: the gang, which the Trump administration has designated as a

117
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 8: terrorist organization. He now faces federal charges including racketeering and

118
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 8: sex trafficking. This arrest is part of a broader operation

119
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 8: targeting a twenty seven member splinter faction of Trenda or

120
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 8: Raguan known as Anti trend Anyone with information on one

Speaker 8: of fugitive fugitives has urged to contact the nearest US

122
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 8: Marshall's office. The one in Portland is downtown in Courthouse Square.

123
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 3: Fox twelve TV out in Oregon. There on the story,

124
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 3: it does seem that having federal immigration enforcement is a

125
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 3: good thing, does make your community safer. Staying out West

126
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 3: and picking up on some reporting in the New York

127
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 3: Post here, federal authorities are opening a major investigation into

128
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 3: alleged unemployment insurance fraud in California. The US Department of

129
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 3: Labor sending a strike team to examine financial issues and

130
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 3: potential fraud within the state's unemployment insurance programs, saying previous

131
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 3: officials turned a blind eye to major problems. The review

132
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 3: comes amid long standing concerns about billions of dollars in

133
00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 3: improper payments in California's system, dating back to the COVID

134
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 3: nineteen pandemic. This could lead to criminal referrals. We're going

135
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 3: to keep an eye on this one. Soul South Korea

136
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 3: International News. The former president there Yun suk yol was

137
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 3: found guilty of leading an insurrection on Thursday and sentenced

138
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 3: to life in prison for his brief imposition of martial

139
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 3: law back in twenty twenty four. The former president was

140
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 3: ousted after he declared martial law and sent troops to

141
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 3: surround the National Assembly on December third, twenty twenty four,

142
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 3: in a somewhat strange attempt to overcome a legislature that

143
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 3: was controlled by his political opponents. This is the Scott

Speaker 3: Jennings Show on Salem Common Sense for the American people.

145
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 3: Have a quick word from our friends at Relief Factor.

146
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 3: You know, we've been surveying customers of Relief Factor from

147
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 3: around the country. We're getting all sorts of reports in

148
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 3: from around the and I'll pass along a listener note

149
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 3: that I thought was worth sharing with all of you.

150
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 3: This one actually coming from back home and the Great

151

Speaker 3: Commonwealth of Kentucky.

152
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 4: Eighty seven year old Eileen is the author of this report.

153
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 3: She says there was a point where walking had become

154
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 3: really difficult, and she thought, you know, this is just

155
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:26,679
Speaker 3: part of getting older. Then she tried Relief Factor. Now

156
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 3: Eileen tells us she's walking again. She's even dancing around

157
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 3: to music on her television. Her words to us were simple,

158
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 3: she has no pain. She started out taking three packages

159
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 3: of Relief Factor a day. Now she's down to two,

160
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 3: and she says Relief Factor has made a huge difference

161
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 3: in her life. That's what people are looking for in

162
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 3: a product like this, not hype, but rather real improvement.

163
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 3: Improvement like what we've heard described here by eighty seven

164
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 3: y year old Eileen from Kentucky. Give you a little

165
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 3: personal testimonial. We've been trying Relief Factors since last summer

166
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 3: in the Jennings household.

167
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 4: I've tried it.

168
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 3: Other members of my household have tried it. My father

169
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 3: has been extremely enthusiastic about the impacts of Relief Factor.

170
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 4: Getting around pretty well.

171
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 3: Is spending some of the winter in Florida playing golf,

172
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 3: very active man with his friends. He's no spring chicken,

173
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 3: but he's hopping around like one. If you'd like some

174
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 3: options here on dealing with pain, my advice call one

175
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 3: eight hundred and four Relief or go to relief Factor

176
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 3: dot com. Ask yourself, how will it feel to be

177
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,959
Speaker 3: out of pain? When we come back, Kansas, Republicans strike

178
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 3: a blow for common sense and they fight back against

179
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 3: the states woke governor.

180
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 4: More on that when we come back, stay with us,

181
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 4: Sat Scott listen.

182
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 3: When I prep for my C and N debates, I

183
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 3: need to know exactly where the national conversation is headed.

184
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 3: And it turns out it's helpful to know that in

185
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 3: your everyday life as well, and that's why I try

Speaker 2: the truth? This is where you come the Scott Jenning Show.

211
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 3: It is Thursday, February nineteenth, and we go now to Kansas,

212
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 3: where Republicans in the state legislature have struck a blow

213
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 3: for common sense. The legislature had passed a bill requiring

214
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 3: people to use the bathroom of their gender at birth

215
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 3: and to identify as their God given gender on things

216
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:42,319
Speaker 3: like drivers' licenses. The Democratic governor of Kansas, Laura Kelly,

217
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 3: vetoed this bill, but last night Republicans overrode the veto.

218
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 3: Joining me now, Representative Susan Humphrey. She's the chair of

219
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 3: the Judiciary Committee there in Kansas and she is live

220
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:54,679
Speaker 3: here on the Scotch Jennings Show.

221
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 4: Representative Humphreys, thanks for being.

222
00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 9: With us, Thank you for having me. Glad to be here.

223
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, thank you very much. Tell us what happened.

224
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 3: You all took up some legislation and it passed overwhelmingly,

225
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 3: but the governor saw it differently.

226
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 4: Give us some backstory on the bill here.

227
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 9: Yes, so it had two parts one part was your

228
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 9: driver's license and birth certificate has to correspond to your

229
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 9: sex at birth. And then the second part had to

230
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 9: do with government buildings. The buildings had to have a

231
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 9: designation Men's and women's dreams and needed to enforce that.

232
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 9: And so we put it all together and passed it overwhelmingly,

233
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,079
Speaker 9: and then the governor vetoed it, and we were able

234
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 9: to override it in the Senate on Tuesday and then

235
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 9: in the House yesterday with our super majorities.

236
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:48,959
Speaker 3: Got to tell you, this seems like a pretty fairly

237
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 3: common sense thing to do. Why would the governor of

238
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 3: a state like Kansas, which is a pretty conservative place,

239
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 3: be against passing this legislation, you know.

240
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 9: Scott, it's crazy to us. It seems like this is

241
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 9: so logical and normal. It's it is about safety for

242
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 9: girls in locker rooms, for women to feel comfortable in

243
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 9: their private spaces especially, and we just got such backlash

244
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 9: and crazy objections on why this is a horrible bill

245
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 9: and it's discriminatory, and you know, it's not good for people,

246
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 9: it's not good for cantons. But we are just going

247
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 9: back to what is the norm that people use the

248
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 9: restroom of their As you said, god given sex.

249
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 3: One of the Democratic state senators here, David Haley of

250
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 3: Kansas City, called the legislation discriminatory. But I have to

251
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 3: ask you, Representative Humphreys, isn't it discriminatory towards women to

252
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 3: allow men to come into their bathrooms and come into

253
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 3: their locker rooms?

254
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 9: Yes, one hundred percent, And we have to think about

255
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 9: what's right for we could say fifty percent of the

256
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 9: population the women, or really ninety nine percent of the

257
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 9: population men women who just want to have private spaces.

258
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 9: So it's not discriminating. We are just focused on helping

259
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 9: people feel comfortable, safe, and not threatened.

260
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 3: Do you anticipate that there will be agitators here who

261
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 3: try to violate the law, which I should note if

262
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 3: you violate it now you face up to one thousand

263
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 3: dollars in fines and potential criminal charges. Do you think

264
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 3: there will be people who try to make a case

265
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 3: out of this, Well.

266
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 9: I think, well, it'll definitely go court. We're anticipating that

267
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 9: for sure. And you know, a couple of weeks ago,

268
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 9: we did have a situation in the Capitol where came

269
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 9: in on noon on a Friday, and everyone was going

270
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 9: to go in the wrong bathrooms just to make a point,

271
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 9: And I don't think that's endearing to people. I don't

272
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 9: think that's a good way to get their point across.

273
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 9: But yeah, we anticipate they'll be it'll be taken to court.

274
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 4: Talk to me about the documents here.

275
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 3: So if you get a driver's license or another kind

276
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 3: of government ID or government document, you have to identify

277
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 3: as the gender of your birth. Are people in Kansas

278
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 3: right now? Is there a population of people who are

279
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 3: holding government documents that misidentify them? And are those documents

280
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 3: now invalid? I guess they'll have to go get new documents.

281
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, that is true. There have been people who

282
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 9: have changed those markers on their driver's license and they

283
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 9: will be noticed. They will get a notice that they

284
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 9: have to go back and they have to change it

285
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 9: back to what it was at birth. So yeah, I

286
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 9: mean that's what and it's a reason. It's about safety.

287
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 9: We had in the committee hearing, we had law enforcements

288
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 9: say we need to know what gender people are. Medical

289
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 9: professionals socify, we need to know when we're treating people.

290
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 9: We need to know. You know, this is safety for

291
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 9: them too.

292
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 4: Absolutely.

293
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 3: Well, I think if you can erase someone's gender, then

294
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 3: you can erase a gender from the law. And that's

295
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 3: what's happening to women here in the United States of

296
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 3: America on.

297
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 4: Issues like this.

298
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:04,920
Speaker 3: But I'd like to congratulate you and the Republicans in

299
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 3: the Kansas Legislature for striking a blow for common sense.

300
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:13,440

00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 1: The man who made CNN's Safe for Conservatives again.

317
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 2: Dear Scott Jennings.

318
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 3: It is Thursday, February nineteenth, Common Sense for the American People.

319
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:12,639
Speaker 3: Scott Jennings here on Salem Broadcasting from our home away

320
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 3: from home here in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. It seems

321
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 3: like that lately we've been down here in South Florida

322
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 3: quite a bit.

323
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 4: There's quite a.

324
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 3: Bit going on in the news, and to kick it around,

325
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,919
Speaker 3: quite a bit of it. Joining me is the Politics

326
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 3: editor of The Free Press and formerly a member of

327
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 3: the Wall Street Journal editorial Board. Mine Ukabarua, Mine, welcome

328
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 3: to the Scott Jennings Show, your inaugural appearance here on

329
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 3: Common Sense for the American People.

330
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:42,159
Speaker 4: We're glad to have you.

331
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:44,160
Speaker 10: Thanks so much, Scott.

332
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 11: Great to be here.

333
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, Mine, we're glad to have this conversation. And I

334
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 3: should start by saying I consult with the Free Press

335
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 3: every day. You don't out there in radio land. I

336
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 3: encourage that you look it up. A lot of times

337
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 3: people ask me what do you read?

338
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 4: What do you.

339
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,199
Speaker 3: Consume to get ready for your show? And see in

340
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 3: hits every day, and the Free Press is certainly one

341
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 3: of those sources that I consult. Let's start with New

342
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 3: York City. I know this is on your mind, mine.

343
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 3: What do you think about mom Donnie? Right now, he's

344
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 3: rolled out his budget. He's got a tax increased proposal,

345
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 3: pretty massive property tax increase proposal. He's got a proposal

346
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 3: to cut money from the New York City Police Department,

347
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 3: among other things. Give us your analysis of mom Donnie's

348
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 3: budget and his first several weeks on the job.

349
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,919
Speaker 10: Yeah, well, it's pretty incredible to behold. I mean, he

350
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 10: has been in office for all of a month and

351
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 10: a half and is already saying, we don't have nearly

352
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,199
Speaker 10: enough money to do all of the things that I

353
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 10: want to do and was elected to do. New York

354
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 10: has one of the wealthiest tax bases in the country.

355
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 10: They are able to raise massive amounts of income tax,

356
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 10: massive amounts of corporate tax. They spend a ton of

357
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 10: money also, and yet instead of thinking where can I

358
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 10: cut except from police, basically says we need to raise

359
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 10: taxes massively in order to pass through my social spending.

360
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,879
Speaker 10: So he has a Plan A. The Plan A is

361
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 10: to raise the taxes on billionaires. Never mind the fact

362
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,880
Speaker 10: that the top one percent already pays almost fifty percent

363
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 10: of all the tax in New York City. He thinks

364
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,159
Speaker 10: that's not high enough. We need to go another two percent.

365
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,680
Speaker 10: He also wants to raise taxes on companies, and he says,

366
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,120
Speaker 10: if the state doesn't allow him to do that, I'm

367
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 10: going to raise taxes on regular homeowners about ten percent.

368
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 10: Taxes for people who are living in Queens, people who

369
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 10: are living in the Bronx. Ordinary middle class people are

370
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 10: going to have to pay to fund Mondani's socialist agenda.

371
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 10: So there's no way to get around it. He basically says,

372
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 10: if you live in this city, your costs are going

373
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 10: to go up.

374
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 4: Talk to us about the politics in New York. You

375
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 4: mentioned Plan A.

376
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,959
Speaker 3: So Mamdani is asking the legislature and the governor to

377
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 3: implement this wealth tax. They may not do that. So

378
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 3: Plan B is to go to this ten percent property

379
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 3: tax increase. Talk to us a little bit about the

380
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,640
Speaker 3: internal politics there, even amongst the Democrats in New York.

381
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 3: How are they reacting to Mamdani's demands.

382
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 10: Yeah, So, Kathy Hokele, who is the governor of New York,

383
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:18,119
Speaker 10: has ruled out in past years the idea of raising

384
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 10: income taxes any Further, not because she's opposed to high

385
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:25,400
Speaker 10: taxes per se, but just because of how much they've

386
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 10: been raised just in the past decade. New York has

387
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 10: one of the highest income taxes already, and she knows

388
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 10: that these very high earners have the ability to move

389
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 10: if they think the tax rate has gotten out of hand,

390
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,159
Speaker 10: which many of them do. So she says, I'm not

391
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 10: going to raise it. And yet Mamdani basically says New

392
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 10: Yorkers have elected me to do things like past free childcare,

393
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 10: to do things like free buses, all of these things

394
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 10: that I'm going to need the state in order to

395
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 10: be able to put into action. And so he says,

396
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:57,640
Speaker 10: we could do this the easy way or the hard way.

397
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 10: Either you go along and increase that income to increase

398
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 10: the corporate tax, or I'm going to have be left

399
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 10: with no choice but to increase property taxes, which he

400
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 10: does have the authority to do. And because Hokl herself

401
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 10: is running for reelection later this year, she is afraid

402
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 10: that Mom Donnie is going to be able to whip

403
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 10: up progressives to oppose her unless she goes along with

404
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 10: his demands. So we'll see whether she stands strong or

405
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 10: whether Mom Donnie has the upper hand because he has

406
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 10: so much support from the Democratic Party's progressive base.

407
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,880
Speaker 3: How do you think average New Yorkers are reacting so far?

408
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 3: There was a big snowstorm, and the snow was on

409
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 3: the ground for quite a while. I was up in

410
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 3: New York. I gotta tell you it was hard to

411
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:42,400
Speaker 3: get around. There was garbage all over the place. Yeah,

412
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,919
Speaker 3: that you have these tax increased proposals, we had I

413
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 3: think twenty homeless people die in that frigid weather because

414
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 3: Mom Donnie wouldn't do the homeless encampment sweeps. How do

415
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 3: you think average New Yorkers are reacting.

416
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 4: To him so far?

417
00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think that that snowstorm definitely a lot to

418
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 10: discredit him. Really early on. It was kind of exemplary

419
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 10: of the way that progressives and socialists sometimes approach governance,

420
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 10: which is that he's focused on all these huge reform ideas.

421
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 10: I'm going to put in free grocery stores, I'm going

422
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 10: to have free childcare, when ordinary people think government should

423
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 10: at least focus first on the basics. Let's get the

424
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 10: roads cleared, Let's get the sidewalks cleared, so I'm not

425
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 10: tripping over myself. Just trying to get to my job,

426
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 10: and the fact that he wasn't able to do that.

427
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 10: I think people understand it's a big blizzard. It takes

428
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 10: a certain amount of time to get everything you need

429
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 10: in order. But the fact that that snow was still

430
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,120
Speaker 10: on the ground and blocking sidewalks for weeks, I think

431
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 10: made a lot of people realize this guy isn't serious.

432
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 10: He has no government experience, isn't ready for prime time

433
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 10: early on, and so that's we're probably only going to

434
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 10: see more examples of that kind of overlooking the basics,

435
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 10: like keeping homeless people off the streets because he's so

436
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 10: focused on things like the tax rates and trying to

437
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 10: pass these big programs into law.

438
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 3: My voyce you're hearing on the Scott Jennings shit is

439
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:06,719
Speaker 3: mine Ukubarua. He is the politics editor of the Free Press. Minee,

440
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 3: you wrote a piece recently called Trump didn't lose in Minnesota.

441
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,919
Speaker 3: Let's go back to Minnesota and discuss the aftermath of

442
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:16,400
Speaker 3: the immigration wars there.

443
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 4: What was the theory of your piece.

444
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,639
Speaker 10: Yeah, the theory was that I think a lot of

445
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 10: people watched the tragedy that took place in Minnesota where

446
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 10: you had these confrontations between federal immigration authorities and people

447
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,159
Speaker 10: where you ended up having these shootings, and that was

448
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 10: followed by a pullback of ICE, and so it looked like, wow,

449
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,679
Speaker 10: this is a big defeat for Donald Trump. But I

450
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 10: think that we have to separate the politics of what

451
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 10: happened in Minnesota from the policy. On the politics, if

452
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 10: you look at the polls, it was a big defeat

453
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 10: for Trump. The vast majority of Americans think ICE went

454
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,199
Speaker 10: too far in some of the tactics that it was

455
00:24:56,320 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 10: using in its deportation campaign. They think that the Apartment

456
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 10: of Homeland Security didn't react well to these shootings. But

457
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 10: if you look at the policy, even though they have

458
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 10: reduced the number of ICE agents in Minneapolis, the reason

459
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 10: that they did that is because finally you got some

460
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:20,440
Speaker 10: cooperation from state and local authorities in terms of cooperating

461
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 10: with deporting criminal migrants. So when Tom Homan, whose Trump's

462
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 10: Borders are went into Minnesota, he said, we are willing,

463
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 10: in fact, we're ready to withdraw some of our agents

464
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:35,119
Speaker 10: from Minneapolis after this surge took place. But we're going

465
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 10: to do that as long as we know that we're

466
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 10: going to have access to the jails. So that we

467
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 10: can find the people who have committed violent crimes, people

468
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 10: who are legally in this country and be able to

469
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,880
Speaker 10: deport them. Previously, that hadn't been the case a lot

470
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 10: of the counties, like Hennepin County where Minneapolis is, we're

471
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 10: not allowing ICE agents to get that information and get

472
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,399
Speaker 10: that access. But they were able to come to an

473
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 10: agreement where they say, we're not going to flood your

474
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:02,399
Speaker 10: streets with federal immigrant authorities, but we're going to make

475
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,159
Speaker 10: sure that we're able to identify the most dangerous people

476
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 10: who are in your custody so that we can remove them.

477
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 10: So that means going forward, people in Minnesota are going

478
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 10: to be much safer than they previously were from this

479
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 10: illegal immigrant crime. And I think that was the ultimate

480
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,119
Speaker 10: goal that the Trump administration had in the first place.

481
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, Homan made a huge difference here. I mean from

482
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 3: the beginning of this, all the White House ever said

483
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 3: was if you would cooperate with us and let us

484
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 3: into the jails, we wouldn't have to send nearly as

485
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 3: many people there. If we have to chase them through

486
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,679
Speaker 3: the neighborhoods and out into the communities, we've got to

487
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 3: send people and then when you have these radical agitators out,

488
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 3: we have to send people to protect our people. That

489
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 3: was really part of the build up. But Homan went

490
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:47,399
Speaker 3: there and did a job. I suspect the White House

491
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 3: has taken note of this. Do you foresee more adventures

492
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 3: like this, or more responsibilities like this for Tom Homan,

493
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,399
Speaker 3: a troubleshooter, perhaps being sent around the country to solve

494
00:26:57,920 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 3: similar issues in other places.

495
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 10: I think so.

496
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 4: Yeah.

497
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:05,679
Speaker 10: I think that President Trump is aware that Tom Homan

498
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,639
Speaker 10: is hit the best card in his deck in terms

499
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 10: of actually handling immigration and deportations responsibly, and that there

500
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 10: are a lot of places where you do have criminal

501
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 10: migrants who are in these jails being arrested and then

502
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 10: released back out into the public. This is something that's

503
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 10: very unpopular among Americans. And if Tom Homan is the

504
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,879
Speaker 10: person who can go and speak with a Democratic mayor

505
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,680
Speaker 10: with sheriffs in some of these blue cities and states

506
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 10: and say, you want to get these people off of

507
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,160
Speaker 10: your streets, and let's come to an agreement to make

508
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 10: sure that we can do that in a safe and

509
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 10: responsible way, I do think that he's going to see

510
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 10: some progress there. So hopefully Minneapolis can kind of create

511
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 10: a template for more cooperation between the Trump administration and

512
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,160
Speaker 10: some of these blue states on this issue.

513
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 3: Mane Uka Barua is the politics editor of The Free Press. Maney,

514
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 3: let's talk a little national politics and will zoom down

515
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 3: to Texas. I'm fascinated by this Democratic primary for United

516
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 3: States Senate. You have James Tallerrico versus Jasmine Crockett. For

517
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 3: all of twenty twenty five, Jasmine Crockett was kind of

518
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 3: the most visible Democrat out there.

519
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 4: She is in the House, she jumps into the Senate race.

520
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:21,160
Speaker 3: Tall Rico is who all the establishment Democrats in Washington

521
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 3: would like to have. It appears they are really doing

522
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 3: everything they can to boost tall Rico, and he and

523
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 3: Stephen Colbert this week cooked up this whole hoax about

524
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,680
Speaker 3: the idea that Donald Trump was trying to prohibit Tallarrico's

525
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 3: interview on Colbert's show from airing because of the FCC.

526
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 3: This was all a huge lie, but it's all being

527
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 3: done to the detriment of Crockett, who's pretty mad about

528
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 3: the whole thing. How did all this strike you? And

529
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 3: do you have any idea who's winning right now? I've

530
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 3: seen some polls with Crockett ahead, what do you think.

531
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 10: Well, it's interesting because I think you're totally right. Jasmine

532
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 10: Crockett had the bigger profile at the beginning of this fight.

533
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 10: She's kind of in that AOC wing of the Democratic

534
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 10: Party in the House, which is very very anti Trump,

535
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 10: very very willing to draw attention to herself in any

536
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 10: way possible, and had a lot of support from Democrats

537
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 10: who basically just want to not only beat Trump, but

538
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 10: to offend him. To basically be shocking in the approach

539
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 10: that they take to opposing Donald Trump in the Republican Party.

540
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 10: But there is a huge movement of Democrats who have

541
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 10: been convinced that they can flip Texas, which is a

542
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 10: deeply read state, if they just find the right, polished

543
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 10: figure to represent their brand to the center of the state.

544
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 10: And tell Errico fits that mold exactly. This is a

545
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 10: guy who is deeply Christian. I believe his father is

546
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 10: a pastor, grew up in a fairly rural part of Texas.

547
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 10: Is able to speak. They believe to a kind of moderate,

548
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:59,719
Speaker 10: more traditionally inclined Texas voter than Jasmine Crockett really would be.

549
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 10: So we've seen this massive surge of resources from establishment

550
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 10: Democrats in Texas and from the entire country in terms

551
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 10: of funding, tell Rico trying to promote him, and frankly,

552
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 10: it seems to be working. If you look at the

553
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 10: most recent polls. He has been climbing and climbing as

554
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 10: more people realize who he is, as he's able to

555
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 10: get himself on the TV screen much more, and it

556
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 10: does look to me as if he's going to pull

557
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 10: ahead in the primary that's coming up next month.

558
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 3: Manee Hukabarua is the politics editor of The Free Press.

559
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 3: Great job, we'll have you back soon, Mane, and keep

560
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 3: watching your reporting in the Free Press. A word from

561
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 3: our friends at Patriot Mobile. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

562
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 3: Not only do they deliver premium cell service on all

563
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 3: three major US networks, they also invest in your values.

564
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 3: So you get a great cell phone company that does

565
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 3: what you want, unlimited data, mobile hotspots, international roaming, and

566
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 3: you know that when you pay your bill, some of

567
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 3: that money is going right back into the causes that

568
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 3: you care about. Switching as he than ever activate in minutes,

569

570
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 3: But take a stand today. Go to Patriot Mobile dot

00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 3: seven two Patriot. I encourage you to make the switch today.

575
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 3: It's common sense for the American people. Scott Jennings is

576
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 3: on Salem.

577
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 4: We'll have more after this.

578
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:32,719
Speaker 1: Stay with us, freedom to speak clearly, with no leftist lucy.

579
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 2: This is the Scott Jennings.

580
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 3: Show, Common Sense for the American people. Scott Jennings is

581
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 3: with you here on Salem. Mentioned at the top of

582
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 3: the show. Last night, I was with the great people

583
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 3: of Hillsdale College for a wonderful event last night. Met

584
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 3: a lot of great people from all over the country

585
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 3: who support the Hillsdale mission. So that's one kind of

586
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 3: college experience. I want to talk to you about a

587
00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 3: completely different kind of college experience. If it feels like

588
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 3: twenty sixteen all over again, you might be right once again.

589
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 3: College campuses are not a safe space for anyone who

590
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 3: does not cave to the woke mob. A lecture featuring

591
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 3: Barry Weiss, who is the new editor in chief of

592
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 3: CBS and the founder of the aforementioned free press. A

593
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 3: lecture she was going to give at the University of California,

594
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:30,719
Speaker 3: Los Angeles UCLA was canceled on the university's events page

595
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 3: this week as the university faced protests to cancel the appearance.

596
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 3: A petition calling for the event to be canceled gathered

597
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:43,719
Speaker 3: nearly eleven thousand signatures. So a person who holds a

598
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 3: high position of authority in American journalism cannot go to

599
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 3: UCLA and give a lecture, according to eleven thousand people

600
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 3: who signed a petition, and according to the university leadership,

601
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 3: the event was part of the Daniel Pearl Memorial Lecture series.

602
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,479
Speaker 3: You remember Daniel Pearl. He was the Wall Street journal

603
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 3: reporter who was kidnapped and murdered in Pakistan in two

604
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 3: thousand and two. I will never ever forget that story.

605
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 3: So they have this lecture to honor the memory of

606
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 3: Daniel Pearl. They invite Barry Weiss, who's Jewish, and now

607
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 3: she can't go. The cancelation followed weeks of criticism and

608
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 3: planned protests from student and activist groups Code Pink Oh

609
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 3: our friends at Code Pink they publicly called on UCLA

610
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 3: to rescind the invitation, arguing Weiss's views are quote inconsistent

611
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 3: with the values of the lecture series.

612
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 4: Her views. What are Barry Weiss's views?

613
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 3: That we should have non or unbiased journalism, That we

614
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 3: should provide platforms for all different kinds of people to

615
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 3: speak their minds.

616
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 4: That people should be able.

617
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 3: To practice their faith, their Jewish faith without being attacked,

618
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:11,400
Speaker 3: violently or harassed. Those are Barry Weiss's views. But according

619
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 3: to Code Pink, that's inconsistent with the values of the

620
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 3: lecture series. This is the same Code Pink, by the way,

621
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 3: that the State Department recently identified as a cutout for

622
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:28,919
Speaker 3: Chinese influence operations. These professional agitators, along with left wing

623
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:32,799
Speaker 3: nuts like Hassan Piker, have spent weeks out at u

624
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 3: c l A trying to get this event canceled.

625
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 4: Let's listen to cut eleven here.

626
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 12: Hey, thank you so much, yo, shut Pink of the building.

627
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 11: Yeah, I love you guys, you guys so much, Yeah.

628
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 12: So much.

629
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 4: Very disgusting.

630
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 3: These deranged old liberal boomers have lost their absolute minds.

631
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 3: These Code Pink people working for the Communist Chinese to

632
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 3: try to stop things.

633
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 4: Like a lecture at UCLA.

634
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 3: Just remember ladies and gentlemen if they will cancel someone

635
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:28,760
Speaker 3: like Barry Weiss, who, by the way, is not a conservative, Okay,

636
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 3: she is a center left and a publicly identified center

637
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 3: left sort of person. Call it middle of the road

638
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 3: if you want. Her great sin is that she thinks, hey,

639
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:45,720
Speaker 3: journalism should be unbiased, that it should give you the facts,

640
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 3: that it should not put its thumb on the scale,

641
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 3: and then when we're covering American politics, that we should

642
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:55,320
Speaker 3: listen to people from across the spectrum. This is Barry

643
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:56,399
Speaker 3: Weiss's great sin.

644
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:58,839
Speaker 4: And for this, the.

645
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 3: Communist Chinese puppets at Code Pink and all the other

646
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:06,839
Speaker 3: liberals who signed the petition want to cancel her from

647
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 3: going to the UCLA. Now, UCLA, you might remember, recently

648
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:15,880
Speaker 3: distinguished itself as one of the most anti Semitic campuses

649
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 3: during the Free Palestine frenzy.

650
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 4: Was at UCLA where they were.

651
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 3: Setting up zones checking people's IDs, not allowing Jewish students

652
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 3: to pass through. The campus got in huge trouble for this.

653
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 3: If you're out in California and you're thinking about sending

654
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:35,399
Speaker 3: your kid to UCLA, understand what you're dealing with out there.

655
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 4: It's pretty ugly.

656
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:42,960
Speaker 3: Stuff, but I would go to a lecture from Barry White.

657
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:45,360
Speaker 3: She's one of the most fascinating people in American media

658
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:49,840
Speaker 3: and in American journalism today. Gcla's loss, in my opinion,

659
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:52,520
Speaker 3: another hour of the Scott Jennings Show is ahead. It's

660
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:54,879
Speaker 3: common sense for the American people. We're glad you hear

661
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:56,839
Speaker 3: breaking news to come stay with us.

662
00:36:56,960 --> 00:37:00,320
Speaker 1: If the leftists haven't had enough gut there's more is

663
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:01,439
Speaker 1: the Scott Jennings Show.

664
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 3: Here we go our number two underway, common sense for

665
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:10,359
Speaker 3: the American People. On Thursday, February nineteenth, Scott Jennings with

666
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 3: you here, broadcasting line from Paul Beach Gardens, Florida. Today

667
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 3: quick check of the headlines. The Chicago Bears may soon

668
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 3: be the Indiana Bears. Indiana lawmakers announced today they are

669
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 3: in the process of hammering out a deal to potentially

670
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 3: move the team from Chicago into the state of Indiana,

671
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:36,280
Speaker 3: and the Bears have given a statement signaling their vision

672
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:41,040
Speaker 3: to build a stadium in Hammond, Indiana. This was during

673
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 3: a meeting by the Indiana House Ways and Means Committee,

674
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 3: which unanimously passed a proposed amendment to Indiana Senate Bill

675
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 3: twenty seven that names Hammond as the location for a

676
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 3: new Bears stadium. Here's the commentary from the team. The

677
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 3: passage of SB twenty seven would mark the most meaningful

678
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:01,759
Speaker 3: step forward in our stadium planning efforts to date. We

679
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 3: are committed to finishing the remaining site specific necessary due

680
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 3: diligence to support our vision to build a world class

681
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 3: stadium near the Wolf Lake area in Hammond. The bill

682
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:16,359
Speaker 3: still has to pass the full Indiana House. But how

683
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:18,960
Speaker 3: bad of governance do you have to have in the

684
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:22,320
Speaker 3: state of Illinois in the city of Chicago to lose

685
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:26,480
Speaker 3: the Chicago Bears to the state of Indiana must be

686
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:29,840
Speaker 3: pretty bad. Breaking news out of Florida, the Florida State

687
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 3: House just voted for a constitutional amendment in the Sunshine

688
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 3: State abolishing all non school property.

689
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 4: Taxes for Florida homeowners.

690
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:41,320
Speaker 3: It would be put on the ballot for voters in

691
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:43,919
Speaker 3: twenty twenty six if approved by the state Senate. Vote

692
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:47,360
Speaker 3: count there was eighty to thirty This hour. President Trump

693
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 3: traveling in Georgia. We're paying attention to the President's movements.

694
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:53,280
Speaker 3: If he makes any comments, we'll bring those to you today.

695
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 3: Another crazy illegal alien story you won't believe. It's the

696
00:38:56,960 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 3: Department of Homeland Security telling us they have a red

697
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:04,359
Speaker 3: today Liberian illegal alien who was working as a Minnesota

698
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 3: corrections officer while also being a wall from the Pennsylvania

699
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 3: National Guard, also while masquerading as a US citizen despite

700
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 3: having no legal status in the United States. Federal government

701
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 3: says forty five year old Morris Brown was identified as

702
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 3: part of the major fraud investigation going on in Minnesota.

703
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:30,400
Speaker 4: Oh there's more.

704
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:35,120
Speaker 3: Mister Brown is also alleged to have committed marriage fraud

705
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:40,920
Speaker 3: and made repeated false claims to US immigration authorities.

706
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:43,320
Speaker 4: And the partial government shutdown continues.

707
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 3: Democrats don't want to fund the Department of Homeland Security

708
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:49,800
Speaker 3: right now over Immigration Enforcement, even though ICE is funded

709
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 3: for the next.

710
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 4: Couple of years already.

711
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 3: But they have shut down the rest of the agency anyway,

712
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:58,279
Speaker 3: and we would like to talk about the consequences of that.

713
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:01,880
Speaker 3: Joining me as Steve Kirby, Steve serves on President Trump's

714
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 3: Homeland Security Advisory Council. He was the thirty fifth Lieutenant

715
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 3: Governor of South Dakota. Steve, Welcome to the Scott Jennings Show.

716
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 3: We're glad you're here. First of all, tell us what

717
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 3: is the Homeland Security Advisory Council. What is it that

718
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:17,760
Speaker 3: you do for the White House and for the Department

719
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:18,760
Speaker 3: of Homeland Security.

720
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 13: Well, Scott, thank you for having me on the Homeland

721
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 13: Security Advisory Council. Is just that we advise Secretary Nome

722
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:36,360
Speaker 13: and her staff regarding any one of the twenty three

723
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 13: different agencies that are under Homeland Security. So, for instance,

724
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:49,759
Speaker 13: one very important topic that's very public is what are

725
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 13: the chances of the system running the Eastern Seaboard electrical

726
00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 13: grid being halfed and how can we put out walls

727
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 13: against that? So that's one of many We've been hopefully

728
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:19,960
Speaker 13: helpful with immigration with TSA, I'm making that more user

729
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:24,840
Speaker 13: friendly and for instance, you don't take your shoes off anymore.

730
00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 13: That was something that the Advisory Council was big on.

731
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:34,440
Speaker 13: So there's different items for twenty three agencies. There's always

732
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 13: something going on in Scott.

733
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:38,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, it sounds like it. Although I have to take

734
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 3: issue with the shoes. My boots still set off the

735
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:43,719
Speaker 3: alarms about half the time. I may need to send

736
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 3: you a letter about that. Steve, we'll talk about that

737
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 3: off the ear Let's talk about the shutdown of the

738
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:52,839
Speaker 3: Department of Onland Security. ICE is funded. That's not going

739
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 3: to come to a stop. But there's other agencies at

740
00:41:55,200 --> 00:42:00,359
Speaker 3: DHS that are impacted by this government shutdown. TSA one

741
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:03,319
Speaker 3: of them. Are we in danger of TSA agents here

742
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:05,920
Speaker 3: not being paid and therefore possibly not coming to work.

743
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 3: Are we going to see travel snaffoos like we saw

744
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 3: last year when the government was shut down.

745
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:21,720
Speaker 13: Unfortunately, you are one hundred percent right. We will pretty

746
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:27,239
Speaker 13: soon be seeing TSA employees who are very dedicated and

747
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:32,440
Speaker 13: generally very high efficiency, but seeing them ask for furloughs

748
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 13: because they will not be getting any money. They won't

749
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 13: be paid, and many of them seek a furlough so

750
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:44,880
Speaker 13: they can go out and get a job to help

751
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 13: with the rent, the utilities, the basic the basic ingredients

752
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 13: of life. It's a sick example is there's a ts

753
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 13: leave them unnamed TSA employee in Minneapolis whose wife was

754
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:08,080
Speaker 13: on a twelve hundred dollars a month cancer treatment. He

755
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:11,840
Speaker 13: was laid off or not laid off, but no money.

756
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:15,800
Speaker 13: He went out and got a second job as a welder.

757
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 13: We had a TSA employee in Houston who slept in

758
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 13: his car because he couldn't afford housing. We had another

759
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:34,680
Speaker 13: TSA employee who's had thirteen kids, seven of whom were

760
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:37,879
Speaker 13: still at home, and they're on the food shelf, as

761
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 13: is the fellow with the wife with cancer they have,

762
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 13: they go to the food shelfs. They were getting donations

763
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:52,960
Speaker 13: from friends. But it's very real. Scott. When studying for

764
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 13: this presentation, I was reminded of a saying that ninety

765
00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:03,239
Speaker 13: percent of Americans are too paychecks away from United Way.

766
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:07,759
Speaker 13: And you go to the Coast Guard, as I did

767
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:11,839
Speaker 13: as a guest of the US Chamber of Commerce in January.

768
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:15,960
Speaker 13: It's got their kids, they're twenty five years old, they

769
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:21,320
Speaker 13: don't have any savings. Every dime they get they're paying

770
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:24,320
Speaker 13: their mortgage, their motorcycle payments, whatever.

771
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:29,360
Speaker 3: So we've got TSA on the brink of a situation

772
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:33,080
Speaker 3: where they won't be paid, that'll have travel impacts. And

773
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 3: I guess we'll go back through the same thing with

774
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:38,399
Speaker 3: Air Traffic Control as well, and we're going through this

775
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:41,400
Speaker 3: with Coast Guard. There's really no end in sight. Do

776
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:45,040
Speaker 3: you have any political projections about whether the Democrats are

777
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:47,320
Speaker 3: planning to ever give in on this nonsense?

778
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:51,840
Speaker 13: Well, the crazy thing is they pulled this, as we

779
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:55,359
Speaker 13: all know, a few months ago, and we were thirty five,

780
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:59,440
Speaker 13: forty days of being the entire practically entire federal world

781
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 13: being shut down. It's probably they probably think it's easier, uh,

782
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:12,839
Speaker 13: with one little Homeland Security entity with its and its

783
00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:20,959
Speaker 13: member organizations to politically fewer and fewer people will see

784
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:24,760
Speaker 13: that because they won't have a big impact on life.

785
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:28,160
Speaker 13: But you get you get a you get a scare

786
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:34,400
Speaker 13: with cybersecurity who cannot keep up with their technology and

787
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:38,239
Speaker 13: invest in it and pay for it because they don't

788
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:41,640
Speaker 13: have the money. And you get something that happens there

789
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:44,920
Speaker 13: that goes right to the spinal cord, right to the

790
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:49,040
Speaker 13: backbone of America. Well, you know they'll have hell to

791
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:50,920
Speaker 13: pay with the voters.

792
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:53,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's you know, it was forty three days of

793
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:56,920
Speaker 3: a shutdown last year, and one of the biggest impacts

794
00:45:57,080 --> 00:46:00,640
Speaker 3: was on travel. We had massive ripple effects throughout the

795
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:04,880
Speaker 3: travel system. Airports were having major delays, People couldn't get

796
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:08,200
Speaker 3: where they wanted to go, People were stranded, and you know,

797
00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 3: these poor workers are caught in the middle of all

798
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 3: this and they've not done anything wrong.

799
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:13,640
Speaker 4: Steve Kirby, thanks for joining us.

800
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 3: We'll keep in touch with you as this Department of

801
00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:21,400
Speaker 3: Homeland Security shut down the Democrat caused shutdown Lingers on

802
00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:24,640
Speaker 3: Scott Jettings here on Salem common sense for the American people.

803
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:28,920
Speaker 3: Another story that you need to hear about relief Factor.

804
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 3: Rod in Texas, sixty four years old. He tells us

805
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:36,080
Speaker 3: I used to build houses on the side and years

806
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:39,279
Speaker 3: of hard physical work left me with excruciating back pain

807
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:43,360
Speaker 3: that became unbearable. I finally gave relief Factor a try,

808
00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:47,080
Speaker 3: and within four days most of the pain subsided. Over

809
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:50,640
Speaker 3: the next few weeks it continued to improve. Rod's words

810
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:58,359
Speaker 3: and I quote, being pain free is indescribable end quote.

811
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:01,200
Speaker 3: We are getting all of these stories from around the

812
00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:05,440
Speaker 3: country from people like Rod and Texas who say I

813
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:07,800
Speaker 3: had pain, I tried relief Factor.

814
00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:11,200
Speaker 4: Now the pain is gone. It is as simple as that.

815
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:12,960
Speaker 3: That could be you, and if you want it to

816
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:15,359
Speaker 3: be you, my advice is try the three week quick

817
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:16,720
Speaker 3: start and see if it works.

818
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:19,080
Speaker 4: Three weeks. What do you have to lose? Nothing?

819
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:19,400
Speaker 7: Really?

820
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:22,400
Speaker 3: One eight hundred four relief or go to relief Factor

821
00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:25,600
Speaker 3: dot com. One eight hundred four relief or go to

822
00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 3: relief Factor dot com. How would it feel to be

823
00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:31,040
Speaker 3: out of pain? Find out with relief Factor. More to

824
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:33,399
Speaker 3: come it's Scott Jennings on Salem stay with.

825
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:36,040
Speaker 1: Us when he's not in the Oval office, are owning

826
00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:37,560
Speaker 1: the libs on CNN.

827
00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:41,560
Speaker 2: He's here with us. It's the Scott Jennings.

828
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:45,920
Speaker 3: Show, Thursday, February nineteenth. Common sense for the American people.

829
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:51,880
Speaker 3: Scott Jennings here and here is some uncommon nonsense.

830
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:54,120
Speaker 4: Out of Detroit, Michigan.

831
00:47:55,840 --> 00:48:00,160
Speaker 3: We've got another police department apparently at odds with the

832
00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:05,960
Speaker 3: idea of cooperating with federal authorities, and the leadership of

833
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:09,839
Speaker 3: this police department would rather fire police officers for doing

834
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:13,399
Speaker 3: their jobs and keeping you safe than support them.

835
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:14,360
Speaker 4: Here's what happened.

836
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:18,520
Speaker 3: Two officers with the Detroit Police Department, one a patrol

837
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:22,840
Speaker 3: officer and the other a sergeant made contact with US

838
00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:28,720
Speaker 3: Customs and Border Protection during separate traffic stops. In both cases,

839
00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:33,520
Speaker 3: Border Patrol ended up detaining the individuals involved in being

840
00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:36,880
Speaker 3: pulled over. One of the calls was made because the

841
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:40,840
Speaker 3: motorists did not speak English, the officer was asking CBP

842
00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:44,640
Speaker 3: for help to translate. The other call was made after

843
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:48,759
Speaker 3: an officer investigating a felony warrant believed the person might

844
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:53,680
Speaker 3: be in the country unlawfully. I mean these seem like

845
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:57,680
Speaker 3: totally normal police interactions to me. But here's the part

846
00:48:57,719 --> 00:49:02,160
Speaker 3: that's going to shock you. Detroit Police Chief Todd Bettison,

847
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:07,200
Speaker 3: instead of praising these officers for protecting the people in Detroit,

848
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:13,759
Speaker 3: is trying to fire them. He has suspended them and

849
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:18,000
Speaker 3: requested that the Police Commission fire them for violating department

850
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:25,359
Speaker 3: policy that prohibits coordination with federal immigration enforcement. And if

851
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:29,040
Speaker 3: you think this sounds like some local issue, think again,

852
00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:33,480
Speaker 3: because one of Detroit's own members of Congress, Representative Rashida Tlabe,

853
00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:37,839
Speaker 3: has publicly come out to support the firing of these officers.

854
00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:43,239
Speaker 3: She says that to maintain community trust, we have to

855
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:48,520
Speaker 3: fire the cops who are reaching out to federal immigration authorities.

856
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:50,719
Speaker 4: Let that sink in for a moment.

857
00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:55,279
Speaker 3: In order to maintain community trust, Rashida Tlabe says, we

858
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:58,160
Speaker 3: got to get rid of the cops who want to

859
00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:02,560
Speaker 3: do anything at all about eligal immigration. Now, she is

860
00:50:02,600 --> 00:50:05,560
Speaker 3: a sitting member of Congress, it's her duty to look

861
00:50:05,600 --> 00:50:09,600
Speaker 3: out for all American citizens, but she's now cheering on

862
00:50:09,719 --> 00:50:13,000
Speaker 3: the dismissal of police officers who tried to do what

863
00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:15,600
Speaker 3: their oath of office calls for to enforce the law,

864
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:22,040
Speaker 3: protect and serve the police. Chief Bedicin and defenders of

865
00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:25,279
Speaker 3: this policy say the police department is quote not in

866
00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:30,400
Speaker 3: the immigration business, and that contacting border patrol, even for

867
00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:33,160
Speaker 3: translation help, undermines their goals.

868
00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:35,879
Speaker 4: How is that possible? Why would it.

869
00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:39,840
Speaker 3: Undermine your goals as a local police department to be

870
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:43,200
Speaker 3: able to understand someone that you pulled over, or to

871
00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:46,600
Speaker 3: get a felon who's in the country illegally.

872
00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:48,319
Speaker 4: Off the streets. If your goal is to keep the

873
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:49,480
Speaker 4: streets safe.

874
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:52,239
Speaker 3: Seems to me talking to someone in the language they

875
00:50:52,239 --> 00:50:54,800
Speaker 3: can understand or getting a felon off the roadway would

876
00:50:54,800 --> 00:51:00,319
Speaker 3: be a good thing. I guess Chief Medicine disagrees. Ought

877
00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:03,760
Speaker 3: to be honest about what's happening here. We have political

878
00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:07,319
Speaker 3: leadership in agencies and in Congress and in localities that

879
00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:14,320
Speaker 3: are putting anti American ideology ahead of public safety. Instead

880
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:19,480
Speaker 3: of backing police officers who encounter possible federal violations and

881
00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:23,280
Speaker 3: making the call that any objective police leader could should

882
00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:29,560
Speaker 3: or would make, Detroit's leadership is scolding and disciplining these officers,

883
00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:35,400
Speaker 3: trying to fire them. This kind of stupidity is what

884
00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:38,400
Speaker 3: led to the chaos in Minnesota. Local officials want to

885
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:41,759
Speaker 3: make a political point instead of support law enforcement, and

886
00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:46,680
Speaker 3: it led two weeks of chaos, unnecessary chaos.

887
00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:47,600
Speaker 4: When did it.

888
00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:53,360
Speaker 3: Become wrong to enforce the law by contacting federal authorities

889
00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:56,200
Speaker 3: when you believe or know the law is being broken.

890
00:51:57,360 --> 00:52:01,279
Speaker 3: When did this become a fireable offense for a police

891
00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:06,080
Speaker 3: like it apparently is in Detroit. Who benefits from this?

892
00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:10,400
Speaker 3: Do taxpayers benefit? Do American citizens benefit?

893
00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:10,799
Speaker 9: No?

894
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:16,600
Speaker 4: Illegal immigrants benefit? And if they know in Detroit.

895
00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:19,760
Speaker 3: You can go there and really not have to face

896
00:52:20,080 --> 00:52:22,960
Speaker 3: any consequences from the local police, well they're going to

897
00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:23,760
Speaker 3: go to Detroit.

898
00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:27,640
Speaker 4: That's what's gonna happen. If you're in Detroit.

899
00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:30,919
Speaker 3: Call up your city council, call up the mayor, call

900
00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:35,959
Speaker 3: up the chief, call somebody. We've got two cops objectively

901
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:40,080
Speaker 3: doing their jobs to protect and serve whose jobs are

902
00:52:40,160 --> 00:52:45,239
Speaker 3: on the line. What's happening to them is atrocious. There

903
00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:47,560
Speaker 3: needs to be accountability for the people who are trying

904
00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:51,200
Speaker 3: to fire them. It is at odds with public safety.

905
00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 3: And this is not isolated. This kind of horrific leadership

906
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:03,839
Speaker 3: is could will be happening in cities across the country.

907
00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:07,880
Speaker 3: It's Scott Jennings on Salem. Common Sense for the American People.

908
00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:11,399
Speaker 3: More news after this. Thanks for joining us, Please stay

909
00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:11,759
Speaker 3: with us.

910
00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:15,120
Speaker 1: Common Sense for the American People. This is the Scott

911
00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:15,799
Speaker 1: Jennings Show.

912
00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:20,640
Speaker 3: Breaking news into the Scott Jennings Show. Here on Thursday,

913
00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:26,000
Speaker 3: February nineteenth. A judge in Virginia has just issued an

914
00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:32,279
Speaker 3: emergency injunction halting voting on the referendum to redraw Virginia's

915
00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:33,360
Speaker 3: congressional maps.

916
00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:36,360
Speaker 4: This is per WDVTF news over there.

917
00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:40,480
Speaker 3: You might recall that Democrat Governor Spamberger, the new governor,

918
00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:44,359
Speaker 3: is attempting to redraw the maps to eliminate four Republicans

919
00:53:44,360 --> 00:53:47,560
Speaker 3: from Congress. So if these maps were to be enacted,

920
00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:51,799
Speaker 3: the congressional delegation in Virginia would go to ten Democrat

921
00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:55,040
Speaker 3: to just one Republican. But the breaking news is a

922
00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:59,680
Speaker 3: judge has issued an emergency injunction against voting on that

923
00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:02,439
Speaker 3: rep forerendum. So we'll keep an eye on what's going

924
00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:05,919
Speaker 3: on with Virginia redistricting. We're here on the Scott Shetting Show,

925
00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:08,840
Speaker 3: Common Sense for the American People, and we are over

926
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:12,920
Speaker 3: a year into Trump two point zero and despite executive

927
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:16,359
Speaker 3: orders and lots of new laws, the ghost of Joe

928
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:21,080
Speaker 3: Biden still haunts us in one key area on the

929
00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:22,320
Speaker 3: line with me to discuss.

930
00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:23,839
Speaker 4: That is Tony Woodleaf.

931
00:54:24,040 --> 00:54:26,360
Speaker 3: He is the author of several books and a writer

932
00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:29,680
Speaker 3: whose work often appears in The Wall Street Journal, National Review,

933
00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:33,600
Speaker 3: and other publications. He is senior executive vice president at

934
00:54:33,600 --> 00:54:39,000
Speaker 3: the State Policy Networks Center for Practical Federalism. He provides

935
00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:41,839
Speaker 3: some of the sharpest social commentary out there, and he's

936
00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:47,319
Speaker 3: here to talk about Biden era transgender policies that are

937
00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:52,840
Speaker 3: still stubbornly hanging around. Tony woodleif welcome into the Scott Shedding.

938
00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:55,839
Speaker 11: Show, glad to be here, Scott, All.

939
00:54:55,800 --> 00:54:57,160
Speaker 4: Right, you're doing research now.

940
00:54:57,280 --> 00:54:59,960
Speaker 3: Joe Biden spent a lot of time over four years,

941
00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:05,480
Speaker 3: is trying to implement transgender policies throughout our culture, throughout

942
00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:09,480
Speaker 3: our government structures, DEI policies, all sorts of things. And

943
00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:11,960
Speaker 3: of course, when Donald Trump came into office, he immediately

944
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:14,320
Speaker 3: tried to reverse course and get rid of all these things.

945
00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:18,360
Speaker 3: But getting things out of the bureaucracy is very difficult

946
00:55:18,360 --> 00:55:18,680
Speaker 3: to do.

947
00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:21,440
Speaker 4: Tell us what your research has found out there?

948
00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:25,520
Speaker 11: Well, sure, so what happens is you'll have, you know,

949
00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:29,680
Speaker 11: a president administration they'll issue all these directives and rules,

950
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:33,680
Speaker 11: and often those rules are aimed at state government or

951
00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:37,680
Speaker 11: local schools. And so in this case, one of the

952
00:55:37,719 --> 00:55:40,160
Speaker 11: areas that they targeted, believe it or not, is state

953
00:55:40,239 --> 00:55:43,279
Speaker 11: four H programs, which are designed to give you know,

954
00:55:43,440 --> 00:55:46,960
Speaker 11: young people exposure to agricultural things and you know, my

955
00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:49,400
Speaker 11: kids learn how to shoot through a four age program.

956
00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:53,400
Speaker 11: It's just a great, long standing program. It's administered through

957
00:55:54,040 --> 00:55:59,360
Speaker 11: state land grant colleges, universities, public universities, so it's funded

958
00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:03,080
Speaker 11: from US. And so what happened under the Biden administration,

959
00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:06,439
Speaker 11: in addition to all these other areas focus on race,

960
00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:09,359
Speaker 11: equity and DEI and everything else, was they told all

961
00:56:09,360 --> 00:56:13,440
Speaker 11: the state four H directors, look, if you have a

962
00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:16,759
Speaker 11: man who now identifies as a woman, and he has

963
00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:19,719
Speaker 11: been one of your camp counselors or volunteers, well you

964
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:22,120
Speaker 11: have to treat him like he's a woman. That means,

965
00:56:22,160 --> 00:56:24,680
Speaker 11: if you've got a summer camp right where you've got

966
00:56:25,080 --> 00:56:27,600
Speaker 11: boys bunking in the boys bunks and girls bunking in

967
00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:30,200
Speaker 11: the girls bunks, Well, this man who is now a woman,

968
00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:33,200
Speaker 11: he gets to bunk with the girls because he's a woman.

969
00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:37,799
Speaker 11: And so State pushed back. In fact, most people didn't

970
00:56:37,840 --> 00:56:40,839
Speaker 11: know this was happening. Parents didn't know about it, lawmakers

971
00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:43,239
Speaker 11: didn't know about in the states, and this became the

972
00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:46,360
Speaker 11: new policy. Now, of course, when Donald Trump came to office,

973
00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:50,040
Speaker 11: they rescinded that kind of nonsense immediately, But that doesn't

974
00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:52,920
Speaker 11: mean that every state just stops doing it. And we

975
00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:55,839
Speaker 11: see this as a pattern with a lot of policies

976
00:56:55,920 --> 00:56:58,319
Speaker 11: that came out of the Obama White House and out

977
00:56:58,320 --> 00:57:02,319
Speaker 11: of the Biden White House. They get undone by the

978
00:57:02,360 --> 00:57:05,560
Speaker 11: next president. But you've got all these state agencies and

979
00:57:05,640 --> 00:57:08,839
Speaker 11: state level bureaucrats, either they like them or they didn't

980
00:57:08,840 --> 00:57:10,920
Speaker 11: get the memo that they should stop doing them, but

981
00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:15,560
Speaker 11: they persist in state regulations. And so while most state

982
00:57:15,600 --> 00:57:18,520
Speaker 11: four age programs they no longer say on their website, well,

983
00:57:18,600 --> 00:57:21,240
Speaker 11: we're just going to respect whatever the adult says is

984
00:57:21,280 --> 00:57:25,439
Speaker 11: your gender identity, some still do and others just won't

985
00:57:25,440 --> 00:57:29,320
Speaker 11: answer questions about whether they are continuing this policy. So

986
00:57:29,560 --> 00:57:33,439
Speaker 11: our message to state lawmakers in particular is you've got

987
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:36,080
Speaker 11: to take a close look at all the ways that

988
00:57:36,160 --> 00:57:40,920
Speaker 11: your state agencies and your universities bend over backwards. Every

989
00:57:40,960 --> 00:57:45,479
Speaker 11: time some White House bureaucrat or federal agency bureaucrat tells

990
00:57:45,520 --> 00:57:47,760
Speaker 11: them what to do. You've got to look at whether

991
00:57:47,800 --> 00:57:52,360
Speaker 11: they're complying and step in because all of these directives

992
00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:57,960
Speaker 11: they're not binding legally. What happens is state agencies, universities

993
00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:00,440
Speaker 11: they've been over backwards because they're afraid of in that

994
00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:04,400
Speaker 11: federal money. And that's where the lawmakers have to honestly

995
00:58:04,480 --> 00:58:06,960
Speaker 11: do a better job of leading. And so that's one

996
00:58:06,960 --> 00:58:09,000
Speaker 11: of the things we look at, is the transition. Yeah, yeah,

997
00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:12,120
Speaker 11: but we see in a lot of career you're raising.

998
00:58:12,040 --> 00:58:15,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're raising some interesting questions here about oversight. You know,

999
00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:17,600
Speaker 3: you have this rule making or these directives that come

1000
00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:20,640
Speaker 3: down from the federal government, and so people start doing

1001
00:58:20,680 --> 00:58:23,600
Speaker 3: things or they're supposed to stop doing things. But ultimately

1002
00:58:23,760 --> 00:58:26,720
Speaker 3: somebody has to pay attention to it, whether that's you know,

1003
00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:29,720
Speaker 3: somebody at USDA or somebody at the state level, or

1004
00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:32,360
Speaker 3: just you know, a citizen who somehow is in contact

1005
00:58:32,360 --> 00:58:35,200
Speaker 3: with these things. Somebody has to pay attention to it.

1006
00:58:35,240 --> 00:58:38,200
Speaker 3: And if nobody pays attention to it, then these things

1007
00:58:38,240 --> 00:58:41,200
Speaker 3: inside these deep bureaucracies just have a momentum of their own,

1008
00:58:41,200 --> 00:58:42,800
Speaker 3: and they persist and they go on and on and

1009
00:58:42,880 --> 00:58:43,400
Speaker 3: on forever.

1010
00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:47,440
Speaker 11: That's right what we found. For example, we we worked

1011
00:58:47,440 --> 00:58:50,400
Speaker 11: with lawmakers in the state of Tennessee because they had

1012
00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:53,800
Speaker 11: been told by their state Department of Education officials that

1013
00:58:53,840 --> 00:58:56,200
Speaker 11: they had to go along with all this transgender stuff

1014
00:58:56,240 --> 00:58:58,840
Speaker 11: and some other things that Biden White House was pushing

1015
00:58:59,200 --> 00:59:01,640
Speaker 11: or else they were going to lose their education dollars. Well,

1016
00:59:01,680 --> 00:59:04,280
Speaker 11: that was just flat out not true. But the lawmakers

1017
00:59:04,280 --> 00:59:07,560
Speaker 11: have been told this by their state education department officials.

1018
00:59:07,880 --> 00:59:09,360
Speaker 11: So when we went in and talked with them and

1019
00:59:09,360 --> 00:59:12,160
Speaker 11: explained the reality to them, they passed a law. And

1020
00:59:12,200 --> 00:59:15,160
Speaker 11: the law said, from now on, state Department of Education,

1021
00:59:15,520 --> 00:59:18,439
Speaker 11: if you get any paperwork from the White House, from

1022
00:59:18,480 --> 00:59:22,040
Speaker 11: the federal Department of Education, from any federal agency telling

1023
00:59:22,040 --> 00:59:24,360
Speaker 11: you how to run our schools, you have to hand

1024
00:59:24,400 --> 00:59:26,800
Speaker 11: that paper over to us and we'll take a look

1025
00:59:26,840 --> 00:59:29,120
Speaker 11: at the State of Utah did the same thing for

1026
00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:32,320
Speaker 11: all their state agencies. They said, from now on, we're

1027
00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:35,680
Speaker 11: going to stand between our state agencies and our public

1028
00:59:35,720 --> 00:59:38,280
Speaker 11: programs for our people in our state. We're going to

1029
00:59:38,280 --> 00:59:41,280
Speaker 11: stand between those things that belong to us and the

1030
00:59:41,280 --> 00:59:45,880
Speaker 11: federal government. And our message is every state legislature ought

1031
00:59:45,880 --> 00:59:48,240
Speaker 11: to do the same thing, because a lot of what

1032
00:59:48,320 --> 00:59:52,280
Speaker 11: happens is federal bureaucrats decide they know best how you

1033
00:59:52,320 --> 00:59:55,120
Speaker 11: should live in your community, and then they issue these

1034
00:59:55,160 --> 00:59:59,200
Speaker 11: directives to state bureaucrats, and those state bureaucrats for whatever reason,

1035
00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:02,400
Speaker 11: maybe it's ideological affinity, maybe it's fear of loosing money,

1036
01:00:02,440 --> 01:00:04,280
Speaker 11: maybe they're worried they're going to go to jail. Somehow,

1037
01:00:04,680 --> 01:00:07,720
Speaker 11: they just roll over and comply. And so our point

1038
01:00:07,760 --> 01:00:10,640
Speaker 11: of view is state legislatures, this is their dog gone

1039
01:00:10,720 --> 01:00:13,000
Speaker 11: job to defend people of their state.

1040
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:16,120
Speaker 3: That's a voice you're hearing there is Tony wood Leaf

1041
01:00:16,200 --> 01:00:19,280
Speaker 3: with a state policy network. Tony, I want to go

1042
01:00:19,320 --> 01:00:25,760
Speaker 3: to Oregon. You have highlighted extensive fraud within Oregon's medicaid program,

1043
01:00:26,080 --> 01:00:29,400
Speaker 3: and I'm going to read this, including an adult daycare

1044
01:00:29,720 --> 01:00:34,400
Speaker 3: taking its developmentally disabled clients to strip clubs and bars

1045
01:00:35,120 --> 01:00:39,400
Speaker 3: on the taxpayer dime, millions of dollars going to an

1046
01:00:39,520 --> 01:00:43,320
Speaker 3: organization which housed Dave venezuelan gang member, and money going

1047
01:00:43,400 --> 01:00:48,200
Speaker 3: towards transgender operations for children. Doesn't sound like things are

1048
01:00:48,200 --> 01:00:51,440
Speaker 3: going very well in Oregon. How extensive is the medicaid

1049
01:00:51,480 --> 01:00:53,200
Speaker 3: fraud in Oregon?

1050
01:00:53,200 --> 01:00:56,760
Speaker 11: Tony, Well, this is another example, like we won't know

1051
01:00:56,880 --> 01:01:00,400
Speaker 11: until their legislature gets in the game, right, this is

1052
01:01:00,440 --> 01:01:04,600
Speaker 11: their job is to look into this. And whether you're liberal, conservative, Democrat, Republican,

1053
01:01:04,600 --> 01:01:08,080
Speaker 11: it doesn't matter. You should agree that those dollars that

1054
01:01:08,120 --> 01:01:10,360
Speaker 11: are allocated to take care of the least among us

1055
01:01:10,680 --> 01:01:13,560
Speaker 11: should go to the intended beneficiary. And the problem, of

1056
01:01:13,560 --> 01:01:15,960
Speaker 11: course with this fraud is that isn't happening. And then

1057
01:01:15,960 --> 01:01:19,280
Speaker 11: the example you mentioned of the developmentally disabled young people

1058
01:01:19,320 --> 01:01:22,880
Speaker 11: being taken to strip joints, well, that's just absolute abuse.

1059
01:01:23,400 --> 01:01:27,440
Speaker 11: Its abuse, and it should be stopped. And so that's

1060
01:01:27,480 --> 01:01:30,320
Speaker 11: where you count on your state legislators to do the

1061
01:01:30,360 --> 01:01:32,840
Speaker 11: right thing. And I will point out one other thing

1062
01:01:32,880 --> 01:01:35,960
Speaker 11: about Oregon, going back to the four Age example. They're

1063
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:39,120
Speaker 11: one of the few states that still brazenly advertise us

1064
01:01:39,160 --> 01:01:41,520
Speaker 11: on their website. Now, of course they may take it

1065
01:01:41,560 --> 01:01:44,280
Speaker 11: down as soon as this airs, but they advertise on

1066
01:01:44,320 --> 01:01:47,440
Speaker 11: the website that for their adult volunteers and staff members

1067
01:01:47,440 --> 01:01:50,200
Speaker 11: in the four age program, they accept whatever they claim

1068
01:01:50,240 --> 01:01:52,880
Speaker 11: their gender identity is. And so once again, if you're

1069
01:01:52,880 --> 01:01:55,880
Speaker 11: a parent with children in that program, you face the

1070
01:01:55,920 --> 01:01:59,280
Speaker 11: reality that your daughter, your little girl, may end up

1071
01:01:59,760 --> 01:02:01,880
Speaker 11: in a bunk house with some grown man who says

1072
01:02:01,880 --> 01:02:06,000
Speaker 11: he's a woman, or with some large adult male who

1073
01:02:06,040 --> 01:02:09,280
Speaker 11: claims he's a girl. And so that's I would think

1074
01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:12,120
Speaker 11: almost every parent in this country would disagree with that

1075
01:02:12,240 --> 01:02:15,360
Speaker 11: as a policy, and yet State of Oregon, they seem

1076
01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:16,760
Speaker 11: to have a different belief.

1077
01:02:17,520 --> 01:02:20,360
Speaker 3: Oh, vast majority of people would disagree with that. But

1078
01:02:20,600 --> 01:02:23,640
Speaker 3: the problem is you've got a number of radical activists

1079
01:02:23,640 --> 01:02:26,560
Speaker 3: who hold positions of authority or who have at least

1080
01:02:26,600 --> 01:02:29,360
Speaker 3: influenced people in positions of authority to sort of join

1081
01:02:29,480 --> 01:02:33,520
Speaker 3: the wrong side of this ninety five issue out there.

1082
01:02:34,320 --> 01:02:38,120
Speaker 4: Let's talk a little bit more about these topics.

1083
01:02:39,240 --> 01:02:42,479
Speaker 3: President Trump, as you mentioned, has signed some executive orders

1084
01:02:42,520 --> 01:02:45,200
Speaker 3: on this, There have been some laws passed. Has the

1085
01:02:45,240 --> 01:02:48,439
Speaker 3: federal government done enough? Are they doing enough to try

1086
01:02:48,480 --> 01:02:52,760
Speaker 3: to make clear what the policy directives now are or

1087
01:02:52,880 --> 01:02:55,000
Speaker 3: is there more that needs to be done in Washington

1088
01:02:55,040 --> 01:02:57,800
Speaker 3: to sort of either give additional direction or at least

1089
01:02:57,800 --> 01:02:59,000
Speaker 3: bring some of these things to light.

1090
01:03:00,280 --> 01:03:02,560
Speaker 11: Well. So, principal conservatives are always going to be in

1091
01:03:02,640 --> 01:03:06,080
Speaker 11: a bind here because our philosophy is it's not the

1092
01:03:06,200 --> 01:03:09,080
Speaker 11: job of Washington, d C. To administer our local schools,

1093
01:03:09,440 --> 01:03:11,360
Speaker 11: and so I think the Trump administration is by and

1094
01:03:11,480 --> 01:03:14,960
Speaker 11: large done the right thing. They've ended this Biden nonsense.

1095
01:03:15,440 --> 01:03:18,560
Speaker 11: But then it goes over to state attorneys general and

1096
01:03:18,680 --> 01:03:23,520
Speaker 11: state legislators and governors to finish the job. So another example,

1097
01:03:23,600 --> 01:03:28,000
Speaker 11: the Biden White House really demanded strenuously they wanted to

1098
01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:31,760
Speaker 11: see racial equity in school discipline outcomes. They wouldn't see

1099
01:03:31,800 --> 01:03:35,520
Speaker 11: any difference across races in the rates of suspension or expulsion.

1100
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:38,160
Speaker 11: And so what happened was a lot of school districts

1101
01:03:38,200 --> 01:03:41,560
Speaker 11: just they stopped doing discipline at all, because then you

1102
01:03:41,640 --> 01:03:42,680
Speaker 11: get everybody the same.

1103
01:03:42,720 --> 01:03:44,040
Speaker 4: Wait wait, wait, wait, wait wait wait.

1104
01:03:44,080 --> 01:03:47,800
Speaker 3: So you're saying that the Biden White House wanted schools

1105
01:03:48,480 --> 01:03:54,960
Speaker 3: to essentially cook the books to equalize outcomes, statistical outcomes

1106
01:03:54,960 --> 01:03:57,280
Speaker 3: into schools by race. So they, I mean, they were

1107
01:03:57,280 --> 01:03:59,240
Speaker 3: effectively asking for statistical fraud.

1108
01:03:59,280 --> 01:04:00,000
Speaker 4: Is that what you're saying.

1109
01:04:01,040 --> 01:04:03,040
Speaker 11: That's what they They didn't ask for it directly. What

1110
01:04:03,080 --> 01:04:05,760
Speaker 11: they said is if we see differences in your rates

1111
01:04:05,760 --> 01:04:09,439
Speaker 11: of expulsion and suspension between racists of students, we're going

1112
01:04:09,480 --> 01:04:12,919
Speaker 11: to assume racial discrimination is the only reason that could

1113
01:04:12,920 --> 01:04:15,440
Speaker 11: be happening, and we may or may not drop a

1114
01:04:15,480 --> 01:04:18,720
Speaker 11: whole platoon of DOJ attorneys onto your school district, label

1115
01:04:18,720 --> 01:04:21,160
Speaker 11: you a racist, investigate you until you're out of money.

1116
01:04:21,360 --> 01:04:23,880
Speaker 11: So what do you think school districts did? They just

1117
01:04:23,920 --> 01:04:24,600
Speaker 11: started cooking the.

1118
01:04:24,600 --> 01:04:26,400
Speaker 4: Books, so we need you.

1119
01:04:26,600 --> 01:04:32,240
Speaker 3: So basically, your choices here are commit statistical fraud or

1120
01:04:32,360 --> 01:04:33,520
Speaker 3: be labeled a racist.

1121
01:04:33,720 --> 01:04:36,680
Speaker 4: You choose. That's that's how Biden chose to deal with

1122
01:04:36,720 --> 01:04:38,880
Speaker 4: the local schools. This is outrageous.

1123
01:04:39,400 --> 01:04:42,640
Speaker 11: It's crazy, scot there's a lot of school districts. I

1124
01:04:42,680 --> 01:04:45,280
Speaker 11: promise you they're still doing it. They're still behaving like

1125
01:04:45,360 --> 01:04:46,360
Speaker 11: Joe Biden's president.

1126
01:04:47,800 --> 01:04:50,840
Speaker 3: It's unbelievable. Tony Woodleef is that voice you're hearing. He's

1127
01:04:50,880 --> 01:04:53,160
Speaker 3: a prolific author. You see him sometimes in the Wall

1128
01:04:53,160 --> 01:04:55,840
Speaker 3: Street Journal, in the National Review, and other publications. His

1129
01:04:55,920 --> 01:04:59,840
Speaker 3: day job is senior executive vice president at the State

1130
01:05:00,040 --> 01:05:03,680
Speaker 3: Policy Network Center for Practical Federalism. Tony, I've got about

1131
01:05:03,680 --> 01:05:06,840
Speaker 3: thirty seconds. Give me an example of an attorney general

1132
01:05:06,920 --> 01:05:10,080
Speaker 3: or some state policy maker out there who's actually on

1133
01:05:10,160 --> 01:05:12,720
Speaker 3: top of this, somebody who's doing the right thing by

1134
01:05:13,400 --> 01:05:15,480
Speaker 3: jumping on some of this fraud, jumping on some of

1135
01:05:15,520 --> 01:05:17,040
Speaker 3: this nonsense and getting rid of it.

1136
01:05:18,240 --> 01:05:20,080
Speaker 11: Well, I tell you there's some states where they really

1137
01:05:20,080 --> 01:05:22,720
Speaker 11: tried to get out front. You know, Texas, Florida, Indiana,

1138
01:05:22,760 --> 01:05:25,080
Speaker 11: they've all stepped out. You had a number of state

1139
01:05:25,120 --> 01:05:27,680
Speaker 11: attorneys general who opposed a lot of the policies and

1140
01:05:27,720 --> 01:05:31,520
Speaker 11: efforts to do the transgender stuff. You know, the holding

1141
01:05:31,520 --> 01:05:34,200
Speaker 11: school lunch is hostage. You might recall that the Biden

1142
01:05:34,200 --> 01:05:36,320
Speaker 11: people tried to do that, and you had a number

1143
01:05:36,360 --> 01:05:40,680
Speaker 11: of Republican attorney general who tried to stop that. But

1144
01:05:40,920 --> 01:05:42,280
Speaker 11: there needs to be more. It needs to be a

1145
01:05:42,320 --> 01:05:45,760
Speaker 11: lot more. And that's our hope is we'll see more

1146
01:05:45,800 --> 01:05:49,040
Speaker 11: state level action because President Trump can't be expected to

1147
01:05:49,040 --> 01:05:51,320
Speaker 11: fix all this. It's the job of our local elected

1148
01:05:51,640 --> 01:05:53,439
Speaker 11: officials to get in the game.

1149
01:05:54,400 --> 01:05:55,520
Speaker 4: All right, Tony, what Leef?

1150
01:05:55,520 --> 01:05:55,640
Speaker 2: Well?

1151
01:05:55,680 --> 01:05:56,120

Speaker 12: All right.

1175
01:07:00,640 --> 01:07:03,480
Speaker 3: Rounding out the show today, still paying attention to what's

1176
01:07:03,520 --> 01:07:07,800
Speaker 3: going on in the Middle East, specifically Iran. The United

1177
01:07:07,840 --> 01:07:14,480
Speaker 3: States has sent a massive amount of military equipment, ships, planes, missiles,

1178
01:07:14,520 --> 01:07:19,040
Speaker 3: missile defense tankers, you name it, we've got it in

1179
01:07:19,080 --> 01:07:20,920
Speaker 3: the region. Here to talk about it and give us

1180
01:07:20,960 --> 01:07:24,920
Speaker 3: an update on whether we're going to war is Rich Goldberg,

1181
01:07:25,040 --> 01:07:29,160
Speaker 3: Senior advisor for the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. Now

1182
01:07:29,200 --> 01:07:32,640
Speaker 3: I should note Rich, you are sanctioned by Iran, so

1183
01:07:32,760 --> 01:07:35,200
Speaker 3: I guess that means you're doing something right. Thanks for

1184
01:07:35,280 --> 01:07:36,840
Speaker 3: joining us here on the Scott Shetting Show.

1185
01:07:37,960 --> 01:07:38,840
Speaker 14: Thanks for having me.

1186
01:07:39,800 --> 01:07:43,440
Speaker 3: All Right, what's going on. We've got the President talking

1187
01:07:43,440 --> 01:07:45,560
Speaker 3: to Iran. They had these talks, but it's a little

1188
01:07:45,560 --> 01:07:49,640
Speaker 3: opaque about what actually went down. Some of the rumoring

1189
01:07:49,680 --> 01:07:53,320
Speaker 3: and reporting is is that Iran just can't quite satisfy

1190
01:07:53,400 --> 01:07:56,960
Speaker 3: the Trump administration. We keep sending more military equipment to

1191
01:07:57,000 --> 01:07:58,440
Speaker 3: the region. Where do you think we stand.

1192
01:08:00,040 --> 01:08:02,720
Speaker 14: Well, these talks that we see which are I would

1193
01:08:02,800 --> 01:08:07,440
Speaker 14: characterize as something around joke, because this regime doesn't really

1194
01:08:07,520 --> 01:08:11,360
Speaker 14: understand how to come forward with credible concessions. It would

1195
01:08:11,480 --> 01:08:15,320
Speaker 14: amount to just completely changing their nature their regime by

1196
01:08:15,880 --> 01:08:19,240
Speaker 14: giving up their entire nuclear program, their missile program, and

1197
01:08:19,280 --> 01:08:23,160
Speaker 14: pledging to stop sponsoring terrorism or persecuting its people. So

1198
01:08:23,200 --> 01:08:27,439
Speaker 14: the talks by both sides time for the Iranians. They

1199
01:08:27,479 --> 01:08:30,599
Speaker 14: think that they can full a fast one on President Trump,

1200
01:08:31,000 --> 01:08:34,800
Speaker 14: turn him into Barack Obama, offer up some concessions that

1201
01:08:34,840 --> 01:08:37,400
Speaker 14: he can spin as a win, but that the President

1202
01:08:37,520 --> 01:08:40,880
Speaker 14: knows won't be anything credible, and also at the same

1203
01:08:40,920 --> 01:08:44,400
Speaker 14: time stave off economic disaster because they've got banks on

1204
01:08:44,400 --> 01:08:47,200
Speaker 14: the verge of collapse and the only thing keeping them

1205
01:08:47,200 --> 01:08:50,599
Speaker 14: from collapsing right now is the narrative economic effect inside

1206
01:08:50,640 --> 01:08:54,000
Speaker 14: the market that maybe there will be a deal. They

1207
01:08:54,040 --> 01:08:56,960
Speaker 14: also are demoralizing the millions of people who came out

1208
01:08:57,000 --> 01:08:59,360
Speaker 14: into the streets and making sure that people don't come

1209
01:08:59,360 --> 01:09:01,639
Speaker 14: back out into the streets because they think the West

1210
01:09:01,720 --> 01:09:04,759
Speaker 14: has abandoned them. Now, for the President, this is buying

1211
01:09:04,840 --> 01:09:07,840
Speaker 14: him time for all of the forces that are moving

1212
01:09:07,880 --> 01:09:10,880
Speaker 14: into the region. When millions of people came to the

1213
01:09:10,880 --> 01:09:12,760
Speaker 14: streets and were being gunned down, and we think the

1214
01:09:12,800 --> 01:09:16,120
Speaker 14: number might stand at fifty thousand being mass murdered in

1215
01:09:16,160 --> 01:09:21,439
Speaker 14: a single night, all across run. The President was obviously

1216
01:09:21,479 --> 01:09:24,839
Speaker 14: postured for Venezuela, had just pulled off a spectacular operation

1217
01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:29,120
Speaker 14: taking Maduro, and needed carrier strike groups in the region,

1218
01:09:29,200 --> 01:09:34,160
Speaker 14: another firepower to mitigate the Iranian retaliation potential with their

1219
01:09:34,200 --> 01:09:37,679
Speaker 14: missiles and drones. And so he now has not one

1220
01:09:37,800 --> 01:09:40,240
Speaker 14: carrier strike group on station, but another on its way

1221
01:09:40,360 --> 01:09:44,040
Speaker 14: still waiting to transit the Strait of Gibraltar, other destroyers

1222
01:09:44,320 --> 01:09:47,519
Speaker 14: in the region, a lot of fighter jets being flown in.

1223
01:09:47,600 --> 01:09:49,960
Speaker 14: We assume a lot of air defense assets as well,

1224
01:09:50,520 --> 01:09:53,600
Speaker 14: and so in coming days the president likely has the

1225
01:09:53,640 --> 01:09:56,120
Speaker 14: full alignment of the force posture that he wants, or

1226
01:09:56,120 --> 01:09:59,000
Speaker 14: at least that General Kane, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs,

1227
01:09:59,000 --> 01:10:03,200
Speaker 14: once whatever outcomes he wants to affect and at that

1228
01:10:03,240 --> 01:10:05,240
Speaker 14: point they'll have a decision to make up. The Iranians

1229
01:10:05,280 --> 01:10:08,040
Speaker 14: provided him something real at the table or the time

1230
01:10:08,120 --> 01:10:11,040
Speaker 14: to finally close that door, bring the bottom out of

1231
01:10:11,080 --> 01:10:14,920
Speaker 14: their economy and also potentially degrade all the threats that

1232
01:10:14,960 --> 01:10:16,920
Speaker 14: they continue to pose the United States.

1233
01:10:17,439 --> 01:10:20,519
Speaker 3: Something I'm a little worried about here is not worried

1234
01:10:20,560 --> 01:10:23,479
Speaker 3: but interested in, is that the UK is said to

1235
01:10:23,520 --> 01:10:28,599
Speaker 3: be blocking the Trump administration from using a United Kingdom

1236
01:10:28,800 --> 01:10:32,080
Speaker 3: RAF basis for strikes on Iran.

1237
01:10:32,240 --> 01:10:34,320
Speaker 4: Do you believe that is true?

1238
01:10:34,400 --> 01:10:37,960
Speaker 3: Would the United Kingdom really deny us that kind of

1239
01:10:38,000 --> 01:10:40,720
Speaker 3: cooperation if we decide we need to take out the

1240
01:10:40,720 --> 01:10:41,960
Speaker 3: Iranian regime.

1241
01:10:43,080 --> 01:10:45,560
Speaker 14: Well, it would be an outrageous move from what was

1242
01:10:45,560 --> 01:10:48,840
Speaker 14: supposed to be our closest strategic ally And certainly the

1243
01:10:48,880 --> 01:10:52,360
Speaker 14: Brits have not held back in their disgust over what

1244
01:10:52,560 --> 01:10:56,000
Speaker 14: happened back in January, the mass murder in the streets,

1245
01:10:56,040 --> 01:10:59,559
Speaker 14: and understand the tremendous historic moment of the vulnerability of

1246
01:10:59,560 --> 01:11:02,360
Speaker 14: this RUGI right now to take out further their threats.

1247
01:11:02,880 --> 01:11:06,040
Speaker 14: They have an embassy on the ground, they're Foreign Office,

1248
01:11:06,040 --> 01:11:09,160
Speaker 14: they're diplomats, are sort of Obama asque, if you will,

1249
01:11:09,600 --> 01:11:12,799
Speaker 14: in their view of the Islamic Republic, and they always

1250
01:11:12,800 --> 01:11:16,559
Speaker 14: self deter themselves from any hostile action against Iran because

1251
01:11:16,560 --> 01:11:19,920
Speaker 14: they fear that their embassy will be overrun. Not a

1252
01:11:20,880 --> 01:11:22,720
Speaker 14: bad fear, I mean it could happen and happened in

1253
01:11:22,720 --> 01:11:24,960
Speaker 14: the United States obviously nineteen seventy nine has happened to

1254
01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:27,839
Speaker 14: their embassy before. But of course this also is occurring

1255
01:11:27,840 --> 01:11:31,000
Speaker 14: in the backdrop of the President pulling his support for

1256
01:11:31,120 --> 01:11:35,479
Speaker 14: a horrific deal to give up control of a vary

1257
01:11:35,560 --> 01:11:40,600
Speaker 14: strategic assets the Chagos Islands, Diego Garcia be able to

1258
01:11:40,640 --> 01:11:43,799
Speaker 14: have the strategic asset for the United States, for Great Britain,

1259
01:11:44,160 --> 01:11:47,040
Speaker 14: and for the Alliance. And so you never know what's

1260
01:11:47,120 --> 01:11:51,240
Speaker 14: real it's not real, whether this is the starmar's attempt

1261
01:11:51,720 --> 01:11:55,479
Speaker 14: to politically deflect from the President pressuring him not to

1262
01:11:55,520 --> 01:11:57,960
Speaker 14: go forward with the Chagos deal, or if this is

1263
01:11:58,000 --> 01:11:58,679
Speaker 14: actually real.

1264
01:12:00,200 --> 01:12:00,960
Speaker 4: Voice you're hearing is.

1265
01:12:01,040 --> 01:12:05,280
Speaker 3: Rich Goldberg, a senior advisor for the Foundation for Defensive Democracies. Rich,

1266
01:12:05,280 --> 01:12:07,559
Speaker 3: I'll give you five seconds on this. Do you think

1267
01:12:07,560 --> 01:12:09,080
Speaker 3: we're going to attack, I ran yes or no.

1268
01:12:10,479 --> 01:12:12,599
Speaker 14: I think the President already made a decision and we

1269
01:12:12,640 --> 01:12:13,760
Speaker 14: are seeing it play out.

1270
01:12:14,880 --> 01:12:17,479
Speaker 3: That's Rich Goldberg. I'm Scott Jennings. We're done for the day.

1271
01:12:17,560 --> 01:12:20,360
Speaker 3: Back in New York tomorrow. Thanks for listening, common sense

1272
01:12:20,439 --> 01:12:21,360
Speaker 3: for the American people.

1273
01:12:21,400 --> 01:12:23,560
Speaker 4: See you Friday.
