00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 1: Exciting for free speech, Western civilization, and delivering comments sense

Speaker 1: for the American people. Ladies and gentlemen, here's Scott Jennings.

00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:20,319
Speaker 2: Okay, it's Tuesday, January thirteenth. We're on day two of

4
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 2: our three day tour this week here in the Sunshine State.

5
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 2: Tomorrow we're heading up to Tallahassee. Governor Ron DeSantis joins

6
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 2: the show, as does Florida Attorney General James Udemayer. We

7
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 2: have a good day up in Tallahassee tomorrow. Now, we

8
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,560
Speaker 2: wore it out last night with the Club forty seven

9
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 2: people in Palm Beach. They had like a thousand folks

10
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 2: jammed into that place. I signed hundreds of books. I

11
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,200
Speaker 2: want to thank my friends the Snowdens for the great

12
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 2: invitation to be in Florida with some incredible patriots last night.

13
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:56,040

Speaker 2: for Fox News, comes by to talk about this synagogue

16
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 2: attack in Mississippi. Was the perpetrator inspired by anti Semitic

17
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 2: talk emanating from the likes of people like Candice Owens.

18
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 2: We'll discuss and we'll also talk about what President Trump

19
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 2: may be about to do to help the protesters in Iran.

20
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 2: Josh Kay, one of the smartest guys in DC, is

21
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 2: here to break it down. We'll start with the breaking

22
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,199
Speaker 2: news of the day out of Washington with President Trump

23
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 2: and Detroit today speaking to the Detroit Economic Club. Republicans

24
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 2: on Capitol Hill are prepping a budget reconciliation package to

25
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,919
Speaker 2: support his agenda. The Republican Study Committee in the House

26
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 2: has released the following video today. Let's hear it. How

27
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 2: are we going to pass some bills?

28
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 3: We need to do another reconciliation BIM and we can

29
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 3: do it with all the publicans of Let.

30
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 4: Me see if I can preaching real quick.

31
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 5: There will be another effort at reconciliation, and there are

32
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 5: a lot of things that we can do in that

33
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 5: reconciliation bill.

34
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 6: He's very bullish as I am on a second reconciliation package.

35
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,359
Speaker 7: He twenty twenty five was an incredible year, but there

36
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 7: is more to be done with the tool called budget reconciliations.

37
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 5: We've got to conify more and more of what the

38
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 5: President has done on the executive branch side, but we

39
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 5: have much more to do.

40
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 3: Please bring another Reconciliation bill.

41
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: We can do so much.

42
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,359
Speaker 7: There's been a lot of chatter about a second reconciliation bill.

43
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:32,679
Speaker 8: Hey, what are we waiting for.

44
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 2: Let's make the American.

45
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 8: Dream affordable again.

46
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 1: The RSC is leaving the way, but it's time to go.

47
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 2: That voice you just heard Chairman of the Republicans Study Committee,

48
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 2: August Fluger, Congressman from the eleventh District of Texas. August

49
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 2: joins me today, it was good to see you, sir

50
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 2: last week in Washington. You've got a big announcement today,

51
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 2: a plan for Republicans to pass some bills and show

52
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,359
Speaker 2: the American people that the GOP is serious about tackling

53
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 2: cost of living in this country. Chairman Fluger tell us

54
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 2: about what's going on in the office today.

55
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 7: Well, Scott, I'm not sure I could say it any

56
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 7: better than that video, so I will summarize. But making

57
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 7: the American Dream affordable again this is the framework you

58
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 7: saw the video. But what are we really talking about here?

59
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 7: We're talking about if we don't do this, this is

60
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 7: political malpractice. We have a tool. Let's get after the

61
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 7: things that Republicans have long sought to finish and to do.

62
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 7: Let's carry over the winds from twenty twenty five, and

63
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 7: we're looking at housing, We're looking at energy, and we're

64
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 7: looking at healthcare as the three main pillars that really

65
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 7: have policies that deconstruct what Biden tried to do to

66
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 7: kill the economy. They deconstruct this overburdensome regulatory environment, and

67
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 7: they just make it easier for Americans to have choices

68
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 7: in healthcare, to put some money back tax free, to

69
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 7: buy their house, to lower that age of home ownership

70
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 7: from forty one down to mid twenties for first time homeowners,

71
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 7: and just to.

72
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 8: Live the American dream. So very excited about the provisions.

73
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 7: We had a great press conference this morning with lots

74
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 7: of people talking about their specific bills.

75
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 8: But this is the starting point and it is time

76
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 8: to go okay.

77
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 2: Just for our listener's knowledge, Budget reconciliation is a process

78
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 2: on Capitol Hill that allows legislation to pass and effectively

79
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 2: bypass the sixty vote threshold that's needed to pass most

80
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 2: things in the Senate. So if Republicans under Chairman Flucker's

81
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 2: plan can get things out of the House, it can

82
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 2: go over to the Senate and then only Republican votes

83
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 2: would be needed. To pass it over in the Senate.

84
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 2: Chairman Fluger, one of your ideas for solving the housing

85
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 2: situation that we face in this country is selling off

86
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 2: government property and buildings that aren't being utilized. Do you

87
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 2: have an estimate of just how much land of this

88
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 2: type is available.

89
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 7: Well, it's hundreds of millions of dollars of federally held

90
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 7: buildings that would help us to pay for some of

91
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 7: these other provisions. So as far as the land is concerned,

92
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 7: that's what we want the executive race to do, is

93
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 7: that audit to tell us how much land, how much money,

94
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 7: how much revenue is at stake here. But when it

95
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 7: comes to the surplus, of the lack of surplus, the

96
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 7: lack of supply of housing, especially for first time homeowners,

97
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 7: it's just really sad. I mean, Europe has gone through

98
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 7: this over the past couple of decades. We really want

99
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 7: to live that American dream again, and it means that

100
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 7: young families need to have the opportunity to.

101
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 8: Buy a home to raise a family. And we've got

102
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 8: lots of provisions, as you just mentioned, that's one of them.

103
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 7: Another one is the Nest Act, which I call it

104
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 7: from Florida, cat Camick has introduced, and that would allow

105
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 7: you to put money away tax free and then to

106
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 7: spend it on a down payment for home for your

107
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 7: first time home buying experience.

108
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 2: There's a lot of talk about fixing the problems of

109
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 2: Obamacare through health freedom accounts. How does this reconciliation framework

110
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 2: tackle the issue of the broken healthcare system? I know

111
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 2: that's one idea. Give us an overview on healthcare well.

112
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 7: President Trump, when he talked to Congress a week and

113
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 7: a half ago, mentioned that why is any money going

114
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 7: into the hands of insurance companies instead of going directly

115
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 7: to you, directly to Americans. And so these health savings

116
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 7: account health freedom account Trump accounts, if you want to

117
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 7: call them, that would allow people to save money, to

118
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 7: put it away tax free, and then to spend it

119
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 7: on their healthcare needs. The other I think big value

120
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 7: that Democrats have completely ignored is competition and transparency. So

121
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 7: not only can you put money away in these health

122
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 7: freedom accounts, but you can also have more of an

123
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 7: understanding of what you're spending it on and what the

124
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 7: quality of care is. That they have completely destroyed transparency

125
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:58,679
Speaker 7: and they want a single payer system.

126
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 8: We want to get away from that, and there's lots.

127
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 7: Of different things, including shopping across state lines that add

128
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 7: to that. Competition, that transparency, and you making a choice,

129
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 7: not the government, but you as the leader of your

130
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 7: family or as families making choices, not the government doing that.

131
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 2: Talk to us about energy. What are some issues in

132
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 2: the package here, like permitting, regulations, taxation, Give us some

133
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 2: idea what further, Because you did a lot on energy

134
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 2: last summer and the big beautiful bill, what more are

135
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 2: you planning to do here on the energy front?

136
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 7: Well, we sure did, and a couple of things coming mind.

137
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 7: Number one refilling the SPR the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. And

138
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 7: one idea that is kind of percolated in the last

139
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 7: week or two is that let's take some of the

140
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 7: Venezuelan and oil at a discount because they stole from

141
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 7: American companies, and let's refill the three hundred and fifty

142
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 7: million barrels that Biden drained for political expediency. Let's get

143
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 7: that refilled. For Trumergacy is number two. When it comes

144
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 7: to permitting energy projects. It takes eight or nine years

145
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 7: on average to permit at major pipeline projects. We haven't

146
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 7: had a new refinery in such a long time, but

147
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 7: even roads and bridges and highways kind of fall in

148
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 7: this same category. So we believe that we can reattack

149
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 7: in the Senate and that it can pass the Bird

150
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 7: rule because there is a budgetary nexus which is required

151
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 7: for us to do reconciliation. But these projects will actually

152
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 7: lower the cost of everything, not just energy, because energy

153
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 7: is foundational in the economy. But if we can get

154
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 7: this through, which we think we can, it will lower

155
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 7: the cost of everything. But permitting is at the heart

156
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 7: of all of this. As we know our economy runs

157
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 7: on energy.

158
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,599
Speaker 2: About thirty seconds to go here, Chairman Fluger, As a

159
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 2: logistical matter, you've had a slim margin in the House.

160
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 2: What are you hearing from your colleagues about their desires

161
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 2: to do this, their optimism about getting it done, and

162
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 2: about how long do you think it might take in

163
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 2: order to go from soup to nuts here and get

164
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 2: something out of the House and over to the Senate.

165
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 8: We have to move with extreme urgency right now.

166
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,719
Speaker 7: We only have a couple of months before you kind

167
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 7: of get into that window where now it's you know,

168
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 7: campaign season. We're in a two minute drill. Yes, people

169
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 7: have questions, can we get this done. But I'll tell you,

170
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 7: when the American public sees us coming together, unifying, and

171
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,319
Speaker 7: they know we have a one seat majority, when they

172
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 7: see us coming together with solutions, not reasons why we

173
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 7: can't do it, but with solutions and why we can

174
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 7: do it, they're going to give us another chance to

175
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 7: continue to maintain the majority in the House, to maintain

176
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 7: the majority in the Senate. And they know they've got

177
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 7: Donald J. Trump at the helm in the White House

178
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:31,559
Speaker 7: and that we're going to continue towards prosperity.

179
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 8: So I think the outlook is very good.

180
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 7: There's a thousand reasons why we can't, but I'll tell

181
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 7: you America is depending on us.

182
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,319
Speaker 8: It's political apt practice not to do it.

183
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 2: Sounds like you got to go vote. Chairman Fluger. I

184
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 2: hear the beeping there in the House Office Building, Chairman

185
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 2: August Fluger from Texas with the Republican Study Committee. They've

186
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 2: got the Reconciliation blueprint out today, trying to get some

187
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 2: legislation passed for the Republicans and for President Trump. More

188
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 2: news when we come back. It's common sense for the

189
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 2: American people. Hey, it's Scott Jennings. You know, depending on

190
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 2: where you live. Crime may be skyrocketing, and you may

191
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 2: already own a firearm. But before you face the financial, legal,

192
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 2: and emotional weight of pulling the trigger, there's a smarter option.

193
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 2: It's called Burna that's b y r in a. Burna

194
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 2: makes a less lethal launcher that fires tear gas and

195
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 2: kinetic rounds designed to stop an attacker for up to

196
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 2: forty minutes that gives you time to escape and call

197
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 2: for help without deadly consequences. Their best selling compact launcher

198
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 2: is sleek, slim, and incredibly powerful. It's about the size

199
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,439
Speaker 2: of a smartphone, and it is ideal for concealed carring.

200
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 2: It's comfortable, discreet, and confidence building. It fires at four

201
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:49,199
Speaker 2: hundred feet per second with serious stopping power, enough to

202
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 2: shut down a threat fast without the legal and moral

203
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 2: complexity of lethal force. Burna is proudly American. Over eighty

204
00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 2: percent of the components are US sourced. Every Burna launcher

211
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 2: It's Tuesday, January thirteenth, And on this date in nineteen

212
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 2: sixty eight, Johnny Cash famously performed at Folsome State Prison

213
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 2: in California. Now let's do some news. Beloved cartoonists and

214
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 2: social media presence, Scott Adams has passed away from a

215
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 2: battle with prostate cancer. He was sixty eight. You know

216
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 2: him as the cartoonist behind the Dilbert Comics trip. His

217
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 2: twenty thirteen best selling book, How To Fail At Almost

218
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 2: Everything and Still Win Big, is one of the most

219
00:11:55,280 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 2: influential and entertaining business books in recent years. President Trump,

220
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 2: speaking this hour to the Detroit Economic Club, just before

221
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 2: leaving Washington on that trip, he issued a statement that

222
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 2: he had canceled all meetings with the Iranian regime, and

223
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 2: he encouraged the protesters in the streets of Iran to

224
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 2: keep going. Trump says to the people of Iran, help

225
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 2: is on the way, Miga, he says, make Iran great again.

226
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 2: We wait more from the President on what he means

227
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 2: by all of this. Meanwhile, the regime under the Ayahtola

228
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 2: continues its killing spree. One estimate says between twelve and

229
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 2: twenty thousand protesters have been slaughtered.

230
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 4: Now.

231
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 2: Yesterday, President Trump said he would impose twenty five percent

232
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 2: tariffs on countries that trade with Iran as a way

233
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 2: of punishing the regime for its brutal crackdown. China is protesting,

234
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 2: but Trump says his orders on that are final, so

235
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,559
Speaker 2: we shall stay tuned to the president oral arguments. At

236
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 2: the Supreme Court. Today, lawyers battleling in a pair of

237
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 2: cases challenging state level bans on transgender students playing on

238
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 2: sports teams boys and girls sports. The issue here. Inflation

239
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 2: numbers came in today.

240
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 1: Not bad, not bad at all.

241
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 2: The consumer price index rose two point seven percent in December,

242
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 2: same as last month, meeting expectations. I suspect the President

243
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 2: will continue today to pressure the Fed to cut interest

244
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 2: rates with these numbers coming out. You know, since President

245
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 2: Trump took office, headline inflation has been running at about

246
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 2: two point four percent. It was three percent under Biden.

247
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 2: Core inflation has been running at two point four percent.

248
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 2: It was three point three percent under Biden. The numbers

249
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 2: don't lie. Trump has has lowered inflation from the mess

250
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 2: he inherited from Joe Biden up on Capitol Hill today. Well,

251
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 2: actually not on Capitol Hill today. Bill Clinton did not

252
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 2: did not show up for his deposition with a House

253
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 2: Oversight Committee today. In the Epstein matter, House Republicans will

254
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 2: move to hold him in contempt of Congress Oversight Committee

255
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 2: Chairman Jamie Comer of Kentucky, friend of the show says

256
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 2: they need to talk to Bill Clinton about his long

257
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 2: standing dealings with Jeffrey Epstein.

258
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 1: He visited the White House. Jeffrey Epstein visu the White

259
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: House seventeen times.

260
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 4: Bab Bill Clinton's president.

261
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 9: I've been in Congress nine years.

262
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 4: I think I've been to the White House nine times

263
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 4: to nine years.

264
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 9: Epstein was in the White House in a double the.

265
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 5: Amount of time that I was under one president.

266
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 6: And then we know that Bill Clinton flew on Epstein's

267
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 6: playing somewhere around twenty seven times after the presidency.

268
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 2: Hillary Clinton is supposed to show up tomorrow for her deposition.

269
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 2: We'll see if she comes to the office and next week.

270
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 2: This just end of the show, Former Special Counsel Jack

271
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 2: Smith will testify in public in front of the House

272
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 2: Judiciary Committee January twenty second to date for that his

273
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 2: closed door testimony raised a lot of eyebrows. When the

274
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 2: transcripts came out, Smith was way way out over his skis.

275
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 2: It seemed to some of us. The Trump administration is

276
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 2: ending Temporary Protection Status, or TPS for Somalia. This affects

277
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 2: several thousand Somalis currently living in the United States and

278
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 2: several hundred currently living in Minnesota. Under that protection, those

279
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 2: with TPS designations will have to leave the country by

280
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 2: March seventeenth. There are nearly twenty five hundred Somali nationals

281
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 2: currently in the US under TPS, with another nearly fourteen

282
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 2: hundred in the country with pending TPS applications. All of

283
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 2: this is happening, of course, as the massive fraud scandal

284
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 2: unfolds in the Somali community in Minneapolis, and President Trump

285
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 2: continuing to make the case for the US acquiring Greenland

286
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 2: from Denmark. Here's the President.

287
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 10: If we don't say Greenland Russia, what China will?

288
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 1: And I'm not letting that happen.

289
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 10: If we don't take Greenland, Russia or China will take Greenland,

290
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 10: and i Am not gonna let that happen.

291
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 2: Gosh, I brother, I'm.

292
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 10: Loved tofu and make a deal with him it's easier,

293
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 10: but from one way or the other, we're gonna have Greenland.

294
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 2: That's the news today. When we come back, Josh Kraushar

295
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 2: from Jewish Insider, also an analyst at Fox News, we'll

296
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 2: be here to discuss the Mississippi synagogue arson investigation and

297
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 2: also what Donald Trump may do on IRAN. Josh Ka

298
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 2: is our guest when we come back. It's common sense

299
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 2: for the American people. Scott Jittings on Salem is here,

300
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 2: stay with us. Joining us now on the Scott Shetting Show.

301
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 2: Josh Krauschar, the editor in chief of The Jewish Insider

302
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 2: and a political analyst for Fox News Radio. Josh, Welcome

303
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 2: into the Scott jitting Show.

304
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 4: Scott. It's great to be with you.

305
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, good to see you, my friend. We've known each

306
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:06,360
Speaker 2: other a long time. Respect your knowledge of what's going

307
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 2: on in the world. And I want to start in Mississippi,

308
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 2: where a synagogue was recently set ablaze, the same synagogue

309
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 2: in fact, that was attacked by the Ku Klux Klan

310
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:19,439
Speaker 2: in nineteen sixty seven. It seems like we have a

311
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 2: suspect in custody. Seems like the suspect has confessed and

312
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:29,439
Speaker 2: he Josh was using language and a phrase called the

313
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,640
Speaker 2: Synagogue of Satan, which has shown up in some right

314
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 2: wing commentary from people like Candice Owens and others. I'd

315
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 2: like for you to tell our listeners about the guy

316
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 2: who set this church on fire, about this phrase Synagogue

317
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 2: of Satan, and what you think is going on here

318
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 2: in Mississippi.

319
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:48,639
Speaker 4: Well, thanks for having me, Scott.

320
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,400
Speaker 5: Look, it was a tragic weekend in Mississippi, and it's

321
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 5: a real world example of what happens when you see

322
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:59,639
Speaker 5: some of this file anti submitted content on social media

323
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 5: that people suck up and maybe some many don't act

324
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 5: on any of their hateful thoughts, but just takes one

325
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 5: person to do immense damage. And that's what happened in Jackson, Mississippi,

326
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 5: where this nineteen year old Stephen Spencer Pittman, who clearly

327
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 5: if you look at the social media record of this teenager,

328
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 5: has a long history of anti Semitic content and tropes

329
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 5: and all kinds of extremism on his social media pages

330
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 5: or the stuff he posts. Alarmingly, as you mentioned, Scott,

331
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 5: that this phrase that he used to when he attacked

332
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 5: the synagogue in Mississippi, calling it the synagogue of Satan.

333
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 5: That is a phrase that the Very Extremist podcast Candice

334
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 5: Owens regularly uses on her show, along the line of

335
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 5: a lot of other anti Semitic things she says. But

336
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 5: that's a formulation that is frequently invoked on her show.

337
00:18:56,359 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 4: So this guy seems like it imbibed the whole out

338
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 4: of antisemitism online.

339
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,239
Speaker 5: You know, it sounds like his family was sort of

340
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 5: shocked by what happened when you read the Affi David.

341
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:08,639
Speaker 4: But yeah, he.

342
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 5: Went to the overnight Saturday, went to the one of

343
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 5: the few synagogues in Mississippi, the largest one in the state.

344
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 5: It was actually founded all the way back to before

345
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 5: the Civil War in eighteen sixty and spilled gasoline in

346
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 5: the lobby, set it on fire, and did the mense damage.

347
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 5: Fortunately no one killed, no one injured, but the building

348
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 5: is almost destroyed. And it all, you know, was fueled

349
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 5: by just out of control hate, auto control antisemitism that

350
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 5: we can see from the suspects and you know postings online.

351
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a pretty tragic situation. This guy, Pittman, was

352
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:45,919
Speaker 2: nineteen years old, was a celebrated high school baseball player

353
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 2: and had signed or was playing I guess college baseball

354
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 2: and had a promising career and a promising life in

355
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 2: front of him and now obviously has thrown that away

356
00:19:56,119 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 2: by swimming in the cesspool of anti semitism online. Have

357
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 2: investigators learned if he had any accomplices or Josh, do

358
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 2: you know if this man acted alone?

359
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,640
Speaker 5: So far, it seems from all the public statements made

360
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 5: by by federal and local officials that this guy was

361
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 5: acting alone. This was not part of any kind of

362
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 5: international conspiracy and was not you know, terrorism. It was

363
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 5: domestic terrorism that wasn't international terrorism. But the worry is

364
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 5: that there could be a lot of lone wolves, like

365
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 5: like like Pittman, people who again are just listening to

366
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:39,959
Speaker 5: podcasts that are extremists, going on social media and kind

367
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 5: of be fan just raw antisemitism that is proliferent. We

368
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 5: know that you've talked a lot about this, Scott, and

369
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 5: I commend you just for all the attention you've given

370
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 5: to the scourge in our in our.

371
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 4: Kind of eco media ecosystem.

372
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:56,400
Speaker 5: But it's really alarming just how many, you know, people

373
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 5: are kind of trying to mainstream anti Semitism into into

374
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 5: an ecosist where there's increasingly virtue gate keepers it used

375
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 5: to be this stuff was just not accepted, and now

376
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,159
Speaker 5: you know, anyone can find it pretty easily on their

377
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 5: iPhone when they go to the mainstream.

378
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 4: Of the major social media platform.

379
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 5: So this guy clearly was you know, he was nineteen

380
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 5: years old, so it was immersed in this stuff and

381
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,439
Speaker 5: then he commits this horrible, horrible crime.

382
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 4: We know also that he's facing federal arts and charges.

383
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,439
Speaker 5: Believe it carries up to a twenty year prison sentence,

384
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 5: but we don't have any word if there's going to

385
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,399
Speaker 5: be any federal hate crime charges, which often come with

386
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 5: these types of situations. So that's that's the next shoot

387
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 5: to drop, I think in terms of looking at this case.

388
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:42,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, it's a lesson for parents, isn't It. Got

389
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 2: a nineteen year old kid swimming in the cesspool out

390
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 2: there online, engaging in social media that obviously radicalized him

391
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 2: and caused him to throw his life away. So parents,

392
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 2: my advice is pay attention to what your kids are

393
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 2: doing out there online because there's all kinds of people

394
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:03,479
Speaker 2: that are trying to reinforce radicalization for all sorts of reasons. Josh,

395
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 2: let me switch attention to the Nation of Israel. Prime

396
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 2: Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has outlined a plan this is in

397
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:15,399
Speaker 2: the news today at reducing and fully phasing out Israel's

398
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:19,360
Speaker 2: reliance on military aid from the United States over a

399
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 2: short period of time. Tell us about this story. This

400
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 2: has really raised a lot of eyebrows in Washington, d C.

401
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 2: I think even Donald Trump was kind of shocked that

402
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 2: Netan Yahoo has said this out loud. What is going

403
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 2: on with net Yahoo and the relationship between the US

404
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 2: and Israel when it comes to military aid.

405
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 5: Well, look, this is a fascinating scoop by three of

406
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 5: our reporters, Emily Jacobs, Danielle Cohen, and Lahaff Harko in

407
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 5: today's Jewish Insider newsletter. But we discovered that at the

408
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:51,640
Speaker 5: meeting between Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyaho end of last

409
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 5: year at mar A Lago, Netanyahu seemed to be under

410
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 5: the impression that a lot of Republicans, or at least

411
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 5: that the trend lines of the Republican Party elements of

412
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 5: the Republican Party were for phasing out aid, and there

413
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 5: was some desire within the Prime Minister circle to get

414
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 5: ahead of it, and he presented this idea and some

415
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 5: proposals of the phaseout US military aid to Israel over

416
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:16,640
Speaker 5: a longer ten year period of time, and Trump, accorded

417
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 5: to our sources where it was totally caught off guard.

418
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,880
Speaker 5: He thought this was bad strategic advice, it was bad

419
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 5: political advice, and he didn't know where this was coming from,

420
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 5: you know, from my vantage point and sort of a

421
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 5: lesson that you know, everyone seems to be very online,

422
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 5: But I look at polls, I look at you know,

423
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 5: we do the report. We talked to folks on Capitol

424
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 5: Hill that actually are in power, and a lot of

425
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 5: the stuff you see online isn't necessarily reflective of where

426
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,399
Speaker 5: the party is, where the White House is, where the

427
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:45,680
Speaker 5: conservative movement is.

428
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 4: But look, even my impression was that the Israeli.

429
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 5: Prime Minister and some of his top you know, political advisors,

430
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 5: people who follow US politics, were under the impression that

431
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 5: some of these podcasters, some of these very online folks

432
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 5: represent a very very significant faction in the party.

433
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,160
Speaker 4: Now it's real, and they'll get me wrong.

434
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 5: There are folks who are less instinctively supportive of giving

435
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 5: money to the Israel as part of the close US

436
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 5: is a relationship that's been around for decades, helping their

437
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 5: military superiority in the region.

438
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 4: But that's I think you look at the polls, you've.

439
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 5: Talked to lawmakers on the Hill, and certainly on the

440
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 5: Republican side, that is not a widespread sentiment. And the

441
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 5: telling nugget is that Trump just thought Bobe was sort

442
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 5: of out of his mind, that this was not a smart,

443
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 5: strategic way of going about things. So it's another reminder.

444
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 5: I mean, I say this a lot when I kind

445
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,639
Speaker 5: of assess politics broadly speaking. What you see on Twitter,

446
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,159
Speaker 5: what you see on Facebook, what you see on all

447
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 5: these social media platforms.

448
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 4: It's not real life all the time.

449
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 5: Some maybe occasionally it is, but a lot of the

450
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 5: times it does not reflect.

451
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 4: But the reality is politically or otherwise.

452
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 5: So it's a very interesting situation where Israel thought they

453
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:54,400
Speaker 5: were trying to get ahead of but they thought were

454
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 5: movements in US politics that it may not be as

455
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 5: real as the actually as he thought they were.

456
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 2: Let's talk about Iran. President Trump, before leaving to Detroit today,

457
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,919
Speaker 2: told people in a statement that he had canceled all

458
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,479
Speaker 2: meetings with the Iranian regime. He had previously said they

459
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 2: had reached out to do some negotiating, and he told

460
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 2: the protesters in the streets there in Iran to keep

461
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 2: going and that help is on the way. He said,

462
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:22,479
Speaker 2: megam IgA, make Iran great again. I suppose is what

463
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 2: that means? Is it your belief, Josh, that the President

464
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:30,479
Speaker 2: has made a decision to engage militarily in Iran on

465
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 2: behalf of the people and against the regime.

466
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 4: Well, here's what I can tell you, Scott.

467
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,880
Speaker 5: First of all, like you noted the signal that Trump

468
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:42,639
Speaker 5: posted to his truth social saying clearly help is on

469
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 5: the way.

470
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 4: Is I think a clear signal on what the.

471
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 5: President's intentions are going to be usably the Iranian regime

472
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 5: and they're continued to murder and repression against their own

473
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 5: citizens who are protesting for more freedom and against the

474
00:25:55,760 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 5: economic situation in their country. There's unanimity, I've been told

475
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 5: within the administration. It's not there's no fact that you know,

476
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 5: there's a lot of reporting on different factions that have emerged.

477
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 5: But when I've heard everyone from the Vice president onto

478
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,920
Speaker 5: Secretary of State onto the national security officials have all

479
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 5: been supportive of a military option, and it seems like

480
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 5: that is what is favored at this point.

481
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 4: The question is what what does the military option look like?

482
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:25,360
Speaker 5: Is that cyber attacks it's the targeting of the Revolutionary

483
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 5: Guard with the extremist military faction within the within the

484
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 5: within the within the state. Do they target the Iranian

485
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 5: nuclear program ballistic missiles, which I think would be more

486
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 5: more aggressive and maybe less likely, But they are a

487
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:37,719
Speaker 5: whole range of options.

488
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 4: I don't think they've settled on any one pathway.

489
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 5: They also, you know, I think the Kind of God

490
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 5: would need to move some forces into the region. I

491
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 5: think that would take a little bit of time, so

492
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:50,239
Speaker 5: I don't expect anything imminently, but it does seem like

493
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:54,239
Speaker 5: the Trump administration is signaling that they're going forward with

494
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 5: some kind of military action against the Iranian regime.

495
00:26:57,720 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 2: About twenty seconds here before we need to take a break. Job.

496
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 2: You know, what's amazing to me is the silence from

497
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 2: the left and from the celebrity community. We've got maybe

498
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 2: twenty thousand protesters some estimates say now killed by the regime.

499
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,159
Speaker 2: I don't see any protests on college campuses or all

500
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,639
Speaker 2: over the place out there. When is the left in

501
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,639
Speaker 2: America going to realize of the human rights atrocities that

502
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:23,199
Speaker 2: are being committed against the Iranian people? Ten seconds shosh.

503
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, Scott, can you a year or two ago,

504
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 5: it was your campuses that couldn't even to teach because

505
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 5: they've got people convulsing against against Israel and trying to

506
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 5: fight against Camas. You don't see anything like that against Iran,

507
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 5: and it tells you a lot about the state of

508
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 5: campuses these days.

509
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 2: No kidding. That's Josh Krauschaer. He's editor in chief of

510
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 2: Jewish Insider. We're going to talk congressional elections and other

511
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 2: politics when we come back. You're listening to Common Sense

512
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,120
Speaker 2: for the American People. It's Scott Jennings on Salem.

513
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 11: Stay with us, the voice of free speech, the truth delivered,

514
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 11: common sense for the American people.

515
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Scott Jenning Show.

516
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:09,359
Speaker 2: Okay, it's Tuesday, January thirteenth, hour number two of the

517
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 2: Scott Jenning Show. Here on Salem. We are paying attention

518
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 2: to President Trump today. He is in Michigan. He is

519
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 2: due to address the Detroit Economic Club today. We'll see

520
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 2: what the President has to say. Just a few minutes

521
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 2: ago he spoke to reporters and coming up at twenty

522
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,919
Speaker 2: two minutes past the hour, we're going to play you

523
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 2: a few of the comments made by the President about

524
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:34,359
Speaker 2: the auto industry and some other economic issues. So stay tuned.

525
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 2: We're monitoring the president's trip to Michigan. Joining us, however,

526
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 2: now from the great State of Texas is Senator John Cornyn,

527
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 2: Legend of the Senate from the Finance, Judiciary, Intelligence, Foreign Relations,

528
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 2: and Budget Committees. Senator Cornyn, thanks for coming back to

529
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 2: join us here on the Scott Jenning Show.

530
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 12: You bet Scott.

531
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 4: Great to be with you.

532
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 2: Thank you, sir. I want to start by playing a

533
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 2: clip of a colleague of yours, editor John Kennedy of Louisiana.

534
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 2: He has been begging, begging for the Republicans on Capitol

535
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 2: Hill to do another budget reconciliation process. We heard from

536
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 2: Austin Fluger august Fluger of Texas in the previous hour.

537
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 2: They've released a framework. Let's hear from Senator Kennedy about

538
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 2: what he has to say.

539
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 3: We need to do another reconciliation bill. We can to

540
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 3: fix the welfare system and stop the stealing, stop the stealing,

541
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 3: and we can do it with all Republican votes. So

542
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 3: please send a thing pretty please. As I've said before,

543
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 3: I'm shameless.

544
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 1: I'll beg.

545
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 2: I'll get out on the knee.

546
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 3: John, Please bring another reconciliation bill. We can do so much,

547
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 3: but we can start with fixing welfare fraud. Please, John,

548
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 3: please let us do the bill. I don't want to

549
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 3: end on the next give a note. I'm not hurt

550
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 3: my back going down, mister President.

551
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 2: For those of you listening on radio, Senator Kennedy, Kennedy

552
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 2: got down on his hands and knees on the Senate floor.

553
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 2: Senator Cornyn, is a reconciliation bill, like what was used

554
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,719
Speaker 2: to pass the Big Beautiful Bill, the only way for

555
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 2: Republicans to pass meaningful legislation in twenty twenty six.

556
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 12: Well, they broke the mold when they made John Kennedy,

557
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 12: but he's not wrong, and I'm encouraged to see that

558
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 12: the House is taking some first steps. The Working Family's

559
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 12: Tax Cut Act, which was the seminal piece of legislation

560
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 12: we passed during President Trump's first year of his second term,

561
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 12: has so much in it, and unfortunately Democrats won't co operate.

562
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 12: So reconciliation may be the only way we're able to

563
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 12: pass additional legislation. But it would help a lot if

564
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 12: the House, given the narrow margins that Speaker Johnson has,

565
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 12: if they were able to put together a bill. I'm

566
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 12: confident the Majority leader would put it on the floor

567
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 12: of the US Senate, but I'm waiting to see whether

568
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 12: they can pull that off.

569
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 2: It seems like the framework that the House Republican Conservatives

570
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 2: are issuing today includes provisions on healthcare, affordable housing, and energy.

571
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,719
Speaker 2: Is there anything specific that you would like to see

572
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 2: any reconciliation bill if one came across over from the

573
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 2: House and landed in the Senate.

574
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 12: Well, we did a lot to address fraud in our

575
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 12: welfare system with making sure that only American citizens and

576
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 12: people who are here legally are able to access things

577
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 12: like food stamps and Medicaid and the like. And obviously

578
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 12: we're all aghast at what's happened in Minnesota and worried

579
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 12: that this is going to be replicated in other places

580
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 12: around the country. So I think there's more we can do.

581
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 12: But unfortunately the Democrats are still stuck on this opposition

582
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 12: anything and everything that President Trump has proposed. But the

583
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 12: President of the said he wants to do away with

584
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 12: the filibuster, the sixty gote requirement to pass legislation. Here,

585
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 12: one way to do that is to pass another reconciliation bill,

586
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 12: even with the limitations that that has, But if we're

587
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 12: able to get this done out of the House, I

588
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 12: would welcome them sending it over here to the Senate

589
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 12: and do more anti fraud protection.

590
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 2: Let's move to international affairs, Senator Cornyn. The President today

591
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 2: has rattled the American saber and he has said to

592
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 2: the activists on the streets of Iran that help is

593
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 2: on the way. He says he's canceled meetings with the

594
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 2: Iranian regime. I guess they had called and negotiate. We

595
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 2: have reports that twelve to twenty thousand, perhaps protesters have

596
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 2: been slaughtered by the regime. Would you support the United

597
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 2: States striking Iran to deal a final blow to this

598
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 2: regime and help the people on the streets in Tehran

599
00:32:58,240 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 2: and elsewhere.

600
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:02,719
Speaker 12: Well, we do need to come to the aid of

601
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 12: these Iranians, these brave Iranians who are protesting this theocratic regime,

602
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 12: which is essentially a police state, as you know, and

603
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 12: has been since roughly nineteen seventy nine during the Iranian Revolution.

604
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 12: President Obama did nothing when there was an uprising, and

605
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 12: unfortunately the thugs that worked for the Supreme Leader killed them.

606
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 12: And that, of course is a risk that these current

607
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 12: protesters are taking. But President Trump seems focused on this.

608
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 12: I'm sure he's got an array of options, some kinetic

609
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 12: military options, maybe some others that we can do to

610
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 12: support the support the protesters. But the economy in Iran

611
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 12: is in a bucket. It's in bad, bad shape, primarily

612
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 12: as a result of these sanctions that the United States

613
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 12: has put on Iranian oil. And of course, when the

614
00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 12: President got Nicholas Maduro blockaded a lot of the shipments

615
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 12: of these ghost fleets in Venezuela, He's begun to make

616
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 12: some real steps towards dealing with the fragile economy there

617
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 12: in Iran. But hopefully the best scenario would be for

618
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 12: the Iranians to do that themselves. The problem is coming

619
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:21,839
Speaker 12: off of a repression regime like they've been living with

620
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 12: sort of these many years. There's hard to find leaders,

621
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 12: hard to find institutions to be able to govern the country.

622
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 12: But I'm sure the President's being presented a number of

623
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 12: different options.

624
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 2: Let's talk about immigration, and let's see a little bit

625
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 2: of this. Senator Cornyn, you recently made a trip to

626
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:39,880
Speaker 2: the border. Let's play cut eleven.

627
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 9: The part that I'm most concerned about are most interested in,

628
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 9: of course, is making sure that the federal government does

629
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 9: right by the State of Texas and Texas taxpayers. Thanks

630
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 9: to John Thune and John Brosso and the President of

631
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 9: the United States, we were able to secure eleven or

632
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:02,360
Speaker 9: thirteen point five billion dollar dollars and reimbursement for border

633
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 9: states that fill the gap in the absence of strict

634
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,919
Speaker 9: border control by the federal government, and that money will

635
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 9: now soon be flowing into the coffers of the State

636
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:15,880
Speaker 9: of Texas to the tune of roughly eleven billion dollars

637
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:19,840
Speaker 9: to do justice, which is to reimburse Texas taxpayers for

638
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:23,720
Speaker 9: stepping up and filling the gap when the federal government

639
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:26,320
Speaker 9: simply refused to do so.

640
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 2: Senator Coran, we've seen about two point six million deportations

641
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 2: since President Trump came into office. About six hundred thousand

642
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:37,920
Speaker 2: are active law enforcement deportations, about two million are actually

643
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:42,360
Speaker 2: people who have self deported. Is this deportation system happening

644
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 2: quickly enough for you and what are you experiencing on

645
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:47,719
Speaker 2: the ground there in Texas as it relates to interactions

646
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 2: between the state and ICE and the Department of Homeland Security.

647
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 12: Well, I was glad to welcome some of my colleagues

648
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 12: to the order. Again, I've done this over the years

649
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,840
Speaker 12: just so they could. I'm acquainted with the unique nature

650
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 12: of our border. But it was like night and day

651
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:08,399
Speaker 12: scot from about a year and a half ago. When

652
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 12: you went there a year and a half ago, you'd

653
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 12: still see people streaming across the border, turning themselves in

654
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 12: and claiming asylum or being parolled into the country. By

655
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 12: the Biden administration, they made no pretense at actually securing

656
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:24,840
Speaker 12: the border. That's all changed under President Trump. The border

657
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 12: secure and I think we were there to celebrate the

658
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:33,880
Speaker 12: inclusion of about one hundred and fifty billion dollars of

659
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 12: additional support for our border patrol and immigration enforcement personnel.

660
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 12: But unfortunately, it's going to take a while to clean

661
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:44,840
Speaker 12: up the mess the Biden administration created. But there are

662
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 12: a lot of people who were under final orders of

663
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:51,280
Speaker 12: deportation who simply defied that and stayed in the country,

664
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 12: many of them criminals, many of them were repeat offenders.

665
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:58,880
Speaker 12: And unfortunately, there are many victims here in the United States,

666
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:02,880
Speaker 12: including of people like Lake and Riley, Joscelyn nun Gray,

667
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:07,319
Speaker 12: and others who were killed by illegal aliens. Who came

668
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 12: into the country under the Biden administration. But we're making

669
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 12: great progress. But no, it's not fast enough. But I

670
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 12: know Tom Homan and his team were doing the best

671
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 12: they can.

672
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,319
Speaker 2: As Senator John Corn of Texas Senator, I know you

673
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 2: have to get back over to the Senate floora We

674
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 2: thank you for spending some time with us, and you

675
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 2: have a primary coming up in March down in Texas.

676
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:30,320
Speaker 2: We'll have you back to talk about that.

677
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 6: When he's done in the Oval Office are owning the

678
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 6: lebs on CNN.

679
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 1: He's here with us. It's the Scott Jennings Show.

680
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 2: We're here delivering common sense for the American people. Scott

681
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 2: Jennings broadcasting live from Palm Beach Gardens, Florida today and

682
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 2: once again at the offices of Studio sixty seven and

683
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:51,719
Speaker 2: Palm Beach Gardens. Thanks to my buddy Curtis Bush for

684
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 2: the hospitality the last couple of days. We're heading up

685
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:57,319
Speaker 2: to Tallahassee tomorrow and we're going to see Governor Ron

686
00:37:57,320 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 2: De Santis among other folks up in Tallahassee. Look forward

687
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 2: to that on tomorrow's show. We are tracking some breaking

688
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:06,799
Speaker 2: news right now. President Trump is in Michigan and he

689
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 2: is about to speak to the Detroit Economic Club. He

690
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 2: did make a stop at an auto plant, and we

691
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 2: have some breaking sound from the President here into the

692
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 2: Scott Jennings Show. Guys, let's queue up, cut twenty four.

693
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 2: It's a bit of a long back and forth with

694
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 2: President Trump here, but he is touting the success of

695
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 2: the US auto industry, and we want to hear from

696
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 2: the president. Cut twenty four. Donald Trump today in Michigan, Billy.

697
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:37,800
Speaker 10: Water, and he's just expanded the plant and went to

698
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,400
Speaker 10: twenty four hours twenty four hour shifts.

699
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 1: As Jim Farley, you know, everybody knows Jimmy's a legend

700
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 1: in the industry.

701
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:47,919
Speaker 10: But they just say that business is better than ever

702
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:48,479
Speaker 10: they did.

703
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:49,759
Speaker 1: They're doing twenty.

704
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:52,440
Speaker 2: Four hours sixty hours clock and.

705
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 10: They do expansions and they're building more plants in the

706
00:38:55,200 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 10: United States because of tariffs. And Jim said, Bill very

707
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 10: strongly confirmed they've never seen anything like it in all

708
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:06,759
Speaker 10: of the years that they've been in business. They've never

709
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 10: seen what's happening now like it.

710
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 1: So it's a great honor.

711
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 10: So this plan, you might talk about it, this plan

712
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 10: goes twenty four hours around the clock, before it used

713
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 10: to go three hours around a block.

714
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:19,439
Speaker 1: Now I will.

715
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 13: So we're adding a third shift and it's going to

716
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 13: be running, as the President said, twenty four hours, six

717
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:26,240
Speaker 13: days a week.

718
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 1: And that just shows the.

719
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:32,279
Speaker 13: Demand there is for this product, which we is the

720
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 13: best selling products, as you all know in America, and

721
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 13: it just gets hotter and hotter. So we have a

722
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 13: great relationship with the President and his whole staff.

723
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:44,879
Speaker 4: They've been great to work with for us.

724
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:50,320
Speaker 13: He personally is incredibly responsive every time we need something

725
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 13: our call. We very much appreciate it. And you know,

726
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 13: we couldn't be more excited. We're adding market share, we're

727
00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:01,359
Speaker 13: growing as a company, we're adding job not just here

728
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 13: but elsewhere.

729
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:06,279
Speaker 2: And yeah, this is what times are good for us.

730
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:09,320
Speaker 10: And all of the US automakers now are doing great.

731
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 10: And before they were having a really hard time.

732
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:13,439
Speaker 2: You couldn't.

733
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:16,360
Speaker 10: The environmentalists would not have let them survive.

734
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:20,520
Speaker 2: So the back and forth are between President Trump and

735
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 2: that was the CEO of the Ford Motor Company, Jim Farley.

736
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:27,800
Speaker 2: They're touring a Ford plant for talking about expanding operations

737
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:32,080
Speaker 2: and let's queue up, guys. Cut twenty seven. Here Donald

738
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:35,800
Speaker 2: Trump talking broadly about the US auto industry. This is

739
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:38,319
Speaker 2: a big focus of his visit to Michigan today to

740
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 2: speak to the Detroit Economic Club. Here's more of the president.

741
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:45,720
Speaker 10: Everybody said that the cars are dead in the United States.

742
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 10: If you go back four years ago into the middle

743
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 10: of the Biden administration, everybody who's closing.

744
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:52,160
Speaker 1: Up their plants.

745
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 2: Now we have more plans being built.

746
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:58,800
Speaker 10: In our country than at any time in history. Nobody's

747
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 10: ever seen it. Anyway, That's the election November fifth had

748
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 10: it's other things, but it's also I think maybe the

749
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 10: biggest part the election, because I'm the tariff persu and

750
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:14,759
Speaker 10: everybody now admits that I was right on tariffs, and

751
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 10: I hope that we win the Supreme Court case.

752
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:21,360
Speaker 2: President alluding to the case that we're waiting on a

753
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:24,840
Speaker 2: decision from from the Supreme Court. This is the case

754
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:31,880
Speaker 2: challenging his ability to levy tariffs. He has argued vociferously

755
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:34,479
Speaker 2: for months and months and months to anyone who will listen,

756
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 2: including yours, truly, when I interviewed him here on this

757
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:39,680
Speaker 2: show and from my book and in other places, that

758
00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:44,239
Speaker 2: the president's ability to levy tariffs is an economic tool

759
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:46,759
Speaker 2: that has led to a resurgence in manufacturing in the

760
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:50,280
Speaker 2: United States. He also views it as a diplomatic tool

761
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:53,440
Speaker 2: that he's been able to use to leverage against other

762
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 2: countries and get outcomes that are advantageous to US diplomacy.

763
00:41:57,360 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 2: Let's play one more clip from the president. This is

764
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 2: cut to twenty five and how all this is affecting

765
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:05,400
Speaker 2: our relations with Canada and Mexico. Here's Donald Trump.

766
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:08,880
Speaker 10: I don't even think about usfcire and you know, I

767
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 10: want to see Canada and Mexico do well. But the

768
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:14,359
Speaker 10: problem is we don't need their product. You know, we

769
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:17,200
Speaker 10: don't need cars made in Canada. We don't need cars

770
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 10: made in Mexico. We want to make him here. And

771
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:23,840
Speaker 10: that's what's happening. Everybody's moving here from Canada. They're coming here,

772
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 10: from Mexico, from Japan, from Germany, from.

773
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:27,400
Speaker 2: All over the world.

774
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 10: They're coming here. They're opening up their plans. Bill is

775
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:33,360
Speaker 10: lucky because he's had a lot here, but when he

776
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:35,799
Speaker 10: doesn't have it here, he's moving here. They're doing big

777
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 10: expansions for it. But they're all doing great where the

778
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:40,520

803
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 2: Welcome to the Scott Jennings Show.

804
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:03,000
Speaker 14: Hey, Scott's good to be with you. Thanks for bringing

805
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:05,239
Speaker 14: us on to talk about the supporting issue.

806
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:09,920
Speaker 2: So tell our listeners what in the world is going

807
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:13,760
Speaker 2: on in Oregon with their voting roles. Talk about the numbers,

808
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:17,040
Speaker 2: talk about the fraud. And when you say it out loud,

809
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 2: I mean I'll be as a gas when you say

810
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 2: it is. When I first read it, it is shocking

811
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:22,959
Speaker 2: what's going on there.

812
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:24,040
Speaker 6: It is.

813
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:27,719
Speaker 14: The numbers are huge, and you know, when you look nationally,

814
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:29,840
Speaker 14: I think there are like twenty four million names in

815
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:31,959
Speaker 14: the roles that need to be cleaned up. So we're

816
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:35,919
Speaker 14: talking huge numbers, and we already have cleaned up five

817
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:40,920
Speaker 14: million names through our litigation New York, California, La County,

818
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 14: et cetera. But you know, it's just has to keep

819
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 14: on going because if the list get older and older,

820
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 14: and if the states aren't doing what they're supposed to do,

821
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 14: you get a lot of dirty names on the roles

822
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:54,239
Speaker 14: because people move away and die. In Oregon, we looked

823
00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 14: at the numbers in thirty five of the thirty six

824
00:44:57,680 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 14: counties got they had more people on the rolls than

825
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:03,240
Speaker 14: we're at living there ineligible to vote. So we suit

826
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:06,720
Speaker 14: and you're able to do that under federal law to

827
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:09,560
Speaker 14: you know, take reasonable sexing up the roles. So they

828
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:13,280
Speaker 14: were fighting us, obviously, and then this weekend is reported

829
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:16,839
Speaker 14: the new Secretary of State I don't know if I'm

830
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:20,279
Speaker 14: presuming he's a Democrat, said oh, by the way, we're

831
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:22,480
Speaker 14: going to remove eight hundred thousand names from the roles.

832
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:26,799
Speaker 14: We haven't been removing names from the roles since two

833
00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:32,399
Speaker 14: thoy seventeen. And that's what is the thousand names. That's

834
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:36,399
Speaker 14: twenty of the registered people on the rolls right now.

835
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:38,800
Speaker 2: I was going to ask you, what's the you know,

836
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:41,480
Speaker 2: what's the population of Oregon. You take eight hundred thousand

837
00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:43,759
Speaker 2: people off, I mean, that's a that's a big junk.

838
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:44,520
Speaker 2: Twenty percent.

839
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 14: Yeah, so the total registration number is thirty three point

840
00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:54,040
Speaker 14: eight million. Uh so eight hundred thousand of those names

841
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:57,400
Speaker 14: are bad. And he said, we're going to remove one

842
00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:00,880
Speaker 14: hundred and sixty thousand names immediately. Six hundred or so

843
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 14: thousand we're going to have to figure out a process

844
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:05,840
Speaker 14: to get them off. And none of that would have

845
00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:09,840
Speaker 14: happened without a lawsuit. So that brings to a total

846
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:13,640
Speaker 14: of five point eight million names that judicial Watcher private

847
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:17,640
Speaker 14: entity has forced states to clean up in just the

848
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:20,040
Speaker 14: last few years. But they said a million names in

849
00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 14: New York City. I mean we sued in New York City.

850
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:25,799
Speaker 14: They immediately took almost a half million names off, and

851
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:29,640
Speaker 14: then the next year another half million. Same In Washington,

852
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:32,920
Speaker 14: d C. They quickly removed over one hundred and thirty

853
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:35,040
Speaker 14: thousand names. DC is in the big city, so it's

854
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:41,440
Speaker 14: a huge number. It's not going to stop. We've got

855
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:45,480
Speaker 14: lawsuits in California in Illinois, they're not cleaning up the

856
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:49,239
Speaker 14: roles there. And I suspect with the three lawsuits we

857
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 14: have now Oregon, which obviously is eight hundred thousand, and

858
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:55,680
Speaker 14: between California and Illinois, it's at least two and a

859
00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:58,000
Speaker 14: half million names more that need to be cleaned up.

860
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:02,040
Speaker 14: On top of that, you know, they're twenty plus million,

861
00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:05,399
Speaker 14: as I said earlier, in the states generally that are

862
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:07,840
Speaker 14: on the roles that shouldn't be there. And yeah, dirty

863
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:11,400
Speaker 14: election lists can mean dirty, dirty elections because it's a

864
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:15,240
Speaker 14: pool from which frausters can draw, and obviously it underminds

865
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:17,160
Speaker 14: confidence if you're living at your house and you get

866
00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:20,759
Speaker 14: seven ballots for people who previously lived there. It makes

867
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:23,040
Speaker 14: you think the elections are rigged and we've got to

868
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:24,480
Speaker 14: restore a voter confidence.

869
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:27,760
Speaker 2: So let's talk about that and why this is so important,

870
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:30,880
Speaker 2: particularly for states out west. Out west, you have a

871
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:35,240
Speaker 2: number of states that are almost entirely or predominantly vote

872
00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:39,279
Speaker 2: by mail. So if you have hundreds of thousands or

873
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:42,759
Speaker 2: millions of people on voter rolls do don't exist, that

874
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:45,000
Speaker 2: don't live there anymore, that have passed away, or what

875
00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:49,400
Speaker 2: have you, fraudulent registrations, but yet you have ballots going

876
00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:53,399
Speaker 2: out in the mail corresponding with those bad names. It's

877
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:58,360
Speaker 2: pretty easy to see that this could lead to election fraud.

878
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:01,560
Speaker 2: Is that your contention? And do you have examples where

879
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:03,960
Speaker 2: fraudsters as you call them, and I agree with you,

880
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:08,800
Speaker 2: have actually used these dirty roles to infect an election.

881
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:13,080
Speaker 14: Well, first things first, it's illegal. You know, you're not

882
00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:15,800
Speaker 14: supposed to not do your job under federal law. The

883
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:18,640
Speaker 14: states are supposed to take reasonable subs being up the roles.

884
00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:23,280
Speaker 14: Do we know specifically that frauds occurring? Oh, this person

885
00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:25,919
Speaker 14: had moved away and they got a ballot. They say

886
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:28,800
Speaker 14: the ballots don't go to people who've become quote inactive

887
00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:31,200
Speaker 14: and old on the list. But you know, given the

888
00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:33,520
Speaker 14: fact that can't clean the lists, why would we believe

889
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 14: them otherwise, and why would believe their ability to administer

890
00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:40,080
Speaker 14: the elections? Generally, to me, this is like an indication

891
00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:43,120
Speaker 14: there's no one watching the store. And the problem with

892
00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 14: voter fraud is unless you're literally there watching the person

893
00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:51,920
Speaker 14: commit the fraud, it's hard to check. And when you're

894
00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:55,680
Speaker 14: mailing ballots, it's impossible to check. So you could have

895
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:59,040
Speaker 14: people you know, who are not registered, or who are

896
00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:02,040
Speaker 14: registered haven't been there for ten years. Someone votes in

897
00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:05,080
Speaker 14: their name and they can vote. It gets the names

898
00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:08,200
Speaker 14: still on the rolls. They don't have to reregister. That's

899
00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:11,000
Speaker 14: the danger here, and.

900
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:14,120
Speaker 2: What you're talking about in these operations, you're not talking

901
00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:18,320
Speaker 2: about messing with the registrations of people who are alive,

902
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:22,040
Speaker 2: living in a particular state, active voters. All you're really

903
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:24,640
Speaker 2: talking about here are people who have died, people who

904
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:28,000
Speaker 2: have moved away, people you know, there are many examples

905
00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:31,040
Speaker 2: across the country where people have voter registrations in multiple

906
00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:34,439
Speaker 2: states that is not allowed. I mean, truly, what you're

907
00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:38,280
Speaker 2: talking about are getting these lists cleaned up to prevent

908
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:42,720
Speaker 2: possible fraud, but also in gender confidence among the remaining

909
00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:45,919
Speaker 2: population of a state that hey, this election is being

910
00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:49,839
Speaker 2: executed in a way that makes me believe that we've

911
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:52,680
Speaker 2: done everything we can do as a government to eliminate

912
00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:55,640
Speaker 2: even the possibility of fraud. It's about voter confidence, is

913
00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:56,000
Speaker 2: that right?

914
00:49:56,719 --> 00:49:59,359
Speaker 14: That's right? And eliminate you know, five million names clean

915
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:02,040
Speaker 14: from the roles or five million less opportunities for fraud.

916
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:04,120
Speaker 14: And let me tell you how simple it is to

917
00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:07,480
Speaker 14: do what they're supposed to do. If let's say you

918
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:11,920
Speaker 14: don't vote where you Kentucky or Georgia, Kentucky, Scott, you

919
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:15,239
Speaker 14: didn't vote last year, they're supposed to send you a card, Hey,

920
00:50:15,239 --> 00:50:18,160
Speaker 14: you didn't vote, are you still around? And if you

921
00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:20,719
Speaker 14: don't respond to the card or don't vote for the

922
00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:23,920
Speaker 14: next two federal general elections, so we're talking maybe four

923
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:26,680
Speaker 14: or five years, then they're supposed to remove your name

924
00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:27,400
Speaker 14: from the roles.

925
00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:29,320
Speaker 1: Why did we have to sue.

926
00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:31,560
Speaker 14: To get that done? And why is it that when

927
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:35,680
Speaker 14: we sue, we get the left come in actually intervene

928
00:50:35,719 --> 00:50:37,960
Speaker 14: in our lawsuits to try to get it stopped from

929
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:41,040
Speaker 14: being done. And I think you know what the answer is.

930
00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:43,799
Speaker 14: They wanted to have a system where it's easier to

931
00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:50,080
Speaker 14: steal elections. No voter ID, filthy dirty lists, no citizenship verification,

932
00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:53,120
Speaker 14: to show up and vote out of the blue. No

933
00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:55,399
Speaker 14: one can check to see who you are, where you've been.

934
00:50:55,840 --> 00:50:59,919
Speaker 14: And you know that's how elections are or are real

935
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:02,840
Speaker 14: in this country with that system.

936
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:06,000
Speaker 2: Let me ask you a question about your interactions with

937
00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:08,799
Speaker 2: the Trump administration and the Department of Justice. A few

938
00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:12,280
Speaker 2: weeks ago, we had the Assistant Attorney General for Civil

939
00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:16,120
Speaker 2: Rights on here, Harmeat Dlan. She was engaging in litigation

940
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:19,040
Speaker 2: with a number of states. She was doing the same

941
00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:21,759
Speaker 2: thing you're doing on the outside, which is talking to

942
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:25,040
Speaker 2: states about turning over data for the purpose of cleaning

943
00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:27,320
Speaker 2: up the voter roles. She was getting resistance from a

944
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:30,400
Speaker 2: number of states. Are you in touch at Judicial Watch

945
00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:33,480
Speaker 2: with Harmeat Dilan and what she's doing on the inside,

946
00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:36,880
Speaker 2: and how would you judge the Trump administration's efforts on

947
00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:39,880
Speaker 2: election integrity so far, it's.

948
00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:43,600
Speaker 14: Better than the first administration. And I can't say one

949
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:45,600
Speaker 14: way or the other who were in touch with at

950
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:48,120
Speaker 14: the Justice Department, but they did kind of make some

951
00:51:48,239 --> 00:51:51,680
Speaker 14: noise in this case in Oregon saying that Judicial Watch

952
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:54,319
Speaker 14: should be able to proceed with the case. And what

953
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:57,799
Speaker 14: har Meat's doing now is they're asking for the voter

954
00:51:57,880 --> 00:52:01,239
Speaker 14: list so they can independently have valuate how clean the

955
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:03,560
Speaker 14: lists are, which they're able to do under federal law.

956
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:07,080
Speaker 14: And the fact that the largely Democrat states don't want

957
00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:09,919
Speaker 14: to turn it over just tells you where they are

958
00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:13,480
Speaker 14: on this. It's kind of this crazed objection to common

959
00:52:13,560 --> 00:52:17,640
Speaker 14: sense steps to make sure the roles are clean. Who

960
00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:20,040
Speaker 14: objects to making sure that people who are dead or

961
00:52:20,080 --> 00:52:23,120
Speaker 14: moved away aren't on the voting roles? And you know,

962
00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:26,160
Speaker 14: they say, well, you can get real voters knocked off, Well,

963
00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:29,200
Speaker 14: that's rare if it happens at all. And if they do,

964
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:31,279
Speaker 14: you know what they need to do reregister.

965
00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:35,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, it seems like an easily correctable thing if that happens.

966
00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:38,560
Speaker 2: But it's easy to identify who has at least passed away.

967
00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:41,520
Speaker 2: I mean, we have federal records of who dies through

968
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:44,840
Speaker 2: the Social Security Administration in other ways, and it just

969
00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:48,040
Speaker 2: seems to me that people fighting so so hard to

970
00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:51,319
Speaker 2: keep these fraudulent registrations on the voter rolls really ought

971
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:54,759
Speaker 2: to be asked by the media more often to explain themselves.

972
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:58,120
Speaker 2: We're talking to Tom Fitten, president of Judicial Watch, currently

973
00:52:58,160 --> 00:53:00,480
Speaker 2: engaged in litigation all over the country. You to try

974
00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:02,640
Speaker 2: to clean up the voter roles. Tom, I know you're

975
00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:06,000
Speaker 2: also tracking a couple of other issues personally and at

976
00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:09,399
Speaker 2: Judicial Watch. Have you had a chance today to look

977
00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:12,040
Speaker 2: in on the arguments going on at the Supreme Court

978
00:53:12,200 --> 00:53:16,600
Speaker 2: regarding the transgender sports cases? The issue here boys playing

979
00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:19,480
Speaker 2: in girls' sports. I've seen a couple of comments from

980
00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:23,160
Speaker 2: a couple of the justices, including Kaitanji Brown Jackson. It

981
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:25,440
Speaker 2: seems to me that the left still is having trouble

982
00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:29,480
Speaker 2: defining what is a woman. Are you following this case closely?

983
00:53:29,480 --> 00:53:32,040
Speaker 2: Any comments on the arguments that you're familiar with today?

984
00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:33,640
Speaker 10: Yeah?

985
00:53:33,719 --> 00:53:36,439
Speaker 14: I think you know. It comes down to whether there's

986
00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:42,479
Speaker 14: quote discrimination based on sex, and whether transgenderism falls into

987
00:53:42,520 --> 00:53:47,560
Speaker 14: that category by denying males pretending to be females the

988
00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:51,080
Speaker 14: right to be on the sports teams of girls and females.

989
00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:55,120
Speaker 14: And you know, the key argument in response to that

990
00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:58,359
Speaker 14: is it's not based on their transgender status, it's based

991
00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:02,440
Speaker 14: on their biological birth. You know, men, you're born as

992
00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:05,239
Speaker 14: a male, doesn't matter if you're transgender or not, you

993
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:08,520
Speaker 14: can't be on a female sports team and vice versa.

994
00:54:09,360 --> 00:54:12,560
Speaker 14: So to me, it's kind of a straightforward legal analysis.

995
00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:15,319
Speaker 14: I'm not a lawyer, what do I know, but it

996
00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:18,240
Speaker 14: looks like at least five or six of the justices

997
00:54:18,280 --> 00:54:19,440
Speaker 14: tend to agree with me on it.

998
00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:23,919
Speaker 2: Tom Fitton is the president of judicial Watch. Tom, where

999
00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:26,320
Speaker 2: do we find you? And where do we find judicial

1000
00:54:26,320 --> 00:54:28,960
Speaker 2: Watch on the internet If folks want to follow along

1001
00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:29,520
Speaker 2: with the work.

1002
00:54:29,360 --> 00:54:33,120
Speaker 14: You're doing, well, we're at judicialwatch dot org, judicial watchwhe

1003
00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:36,720
Speaker 14: where dot org, and of course we're all over social media.

1004
00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:41,200
Speaker 14: Tom fitting at judicial Watch on all the platforms.

1005
00:54:42,080 --> 00:54:44,960
Speaker 2: All right, Tom Fitten, president of judicial Watch, Thanks for

1006
00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:47,359
Speaker 2: joining us today and we'll have you back soon on

1007
00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:49,600
Speaker 2: this Scott Jennings show. Appreciate your time. Thank you.

1008
00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:52,800
Speaker 6: He's the author of the best selling book A Revolution

1009
00:54:53,040 --> 00:54:54,040
Speaker 6: of Common Sense.

1010
00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:57,360
Speaker 1: Here's Scott Jennings.

1011
00:54:57,600 --> 00:55:03,239
Speaker 2: Speaking of common sense. I'm going to play some audio

1012
00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:08,279
Speaker 2: and video for you of democrats speaking common sense. I'll

1013
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:11,040
Speaker 2: say that again. I'm going to play some audio and

1014
00:55:11,160 --> 00:55:15,680
Speaker 2: video for you of democrats speaking common sense. And the

1015
00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:20,359
Speaker 2: topic is immigration. Now, these are voices and faces that

1016
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:25,319
Speaker 2: you will recognize and it's a lot of it, But

1017
00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:29,720
Speaker 2: I think we should hear from leading Democrats like Hillary

1018
00:55:29,719 --> 00:55:36,799
Speaker 2: Clinton and Bill Clinton and Barack Obama about what we

1019
00:55:36,840 --> 00:55:40,000
Speaker 2: should do with illegal immigration and whether we should enforce

1020
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:45,759
Speaker 2: immigration laws in this country. Let's hear from those luminaries

1021
00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:46,800
Speaker 2: of the Democratic Party.

1022
00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:50,840
Speaker 15: Please, if you're a criminal, you'll be deported. If you

1023
00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:54,239
Speaker 15: plan to enter the US illegally, your chances of getting

1024
00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:59,160
Speaker 15: caught and sent back just went up. The actions I'm

1025
00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:02,320
Speaker 15: taking are not on lawful. They're the kinds of actions

1026
00:56:02,440 --> 00:56:05,960
Speaker 15: taken by every single Republican president and every single Democratic

1027
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:08,160
Speaker 15: president for the past half century.

1028
00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:10,200
Speaker 2: I think we got to have tough conditions.

1029
00:56:10,719 --> 00:56:12,480
Speaker 15: Tell people to come out of the shadows if.

1030
00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:15,800
Speaker 16: They've committed a crime, to port them, no questions asked,

1031
00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:16,680
Speaker 16: They're gone.

1032
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:20,520
Speaker 17: All Americans, not only in the states most heavily affected,

1033
00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:23,000
Speaker 17: but in every place in this country, are rightly disturbed

1034
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:28,240
Speaker 17: by the large numbers of illegal aliens entering our country.

1035
00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:31,160
Speaker 17: The jobs they hold might otherwise be held by citizens

1036
00:56:31,239 --> 00:56:34,760
Speaker 17: or legal immigrants. The public service they use impost burdens

1037
00:56:34,760 --> 00:56:38,880
Speaker 17: on our taxpayers. That's why our administration has moved aggressively

1038
00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:42,040
Speaker 17: to secure our borders. More by hiring a record number

1039
00:56:42,040 --> 00:56:45,080
Speaker 17: of new border guards, by deporting twice as many criminal

1040
00:56:45,080 --> 00:56:48,560
Speaker 17: aliens as ever before, by cracking down on illegal hiring,

1041
00:56:49,239 --> 00:56:53,120
Speaker 17: by barring welfare benefits to illegal aliens, and the budget

1042
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:55,000
Speaker 17: I will present to you, we will try to do

1043
00:56:55,120 --> 00:56:58,160
Speaker 17: more to speed the deportation of illegal aliens who are

1044
00:56:58,200 --> 00:57:01,400
Speaker 17: arrested for crimes, to better identify I legal aliens in

1045
00:57:01,440 --> 00:57:04,600
Speaker 17: the workface, as recommended by the commission headed by a

1046
00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:08,960
Speaker 17: former Congresswoman Barbara Jordan. We are a nation of immigrants,

1047
00:57:09,560 --> 00:57:12,680
Speaker 17: but we are also a nation of laws. It is

1048
00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:16,720
Speaker 17: wrong and ultimately self defeating for a nation of immigrants

1049
00:57:16,760 --> 00:57:19,320
Speaker 17: to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws

1050
00:57:19,560 --> 00:57:22,680
Speaker 17: we have seen in recent years, and we must do

1051
00:57:22,800 --> 00:57:23,920
Speaker 17: more to stop it.

1052
00:57:26,680 --> 00:57:34,000
Speaker 16: Listen to Way, listen to that stealing ovation, Listen to

1053
00:57:34,040 --> 00:57:39,680
Speaker 16: this there watching What are all these politicians the waking speed?

1054
00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:44,640
Speaker 2: I've read both the Minnesota for Bill Clinton. That was

1055
00:57:44,720 --> 00:57:48,160
Speaker 2: State of the Union material right there, Barack Obama, the

1056
00:57:48,200 --> 00:57:53,200
Speaker 2: deporter in chief, Hillary Clinton. What happened to the Democratic Party?

1057
00:57:53,960 --> 00:58:00,320
Speaker 2: Because today those people sound like Donald Trump. Today, those

1058
00:58:00,320 --> 00:58:05,320
Speaker 2: people sound like every mainstream Republican that you know that

1059
00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:08,840
Speaker 2: wouldn't fly in the Democratic Party. Today. People ask me

1060
00:58:08,880 --> 00:58:12,800
Speaker 2: all the time, hasn't the Republican Party moved dramatically to

1061
00:58:12,880 --> 00:58:16,680
Speaker 2: the right. I think the Republican Party is right where

1062
00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:21,520
Speaker 2: it's always been on most issues, pretty stable, actually conservative party.

1063
00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:25,360
Speaker 2: But you listen to those Democrats and what they had

1064
00:58:25,360 --> 00:58:29,960
Speaker 2: to say about immigration. You tell me if you were

1065
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:32,960
Speaker 2: a Democrat elected official, even if you were the president,

1066
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:38,000
Speaker 2: and you walked into a Democratic political event, a fundraiser,

1067
00:58:38,080 --> 00:58:40,280
Speaker 2: a dinner, some rally, in front of a bunch of

1068
00:58:40,880 --> 00:58:45,320
Speaker 2: Democratic activists, and you said any of those things that

1069
00:58:45,360 --> 00:58:49,400
Speaker 2: we heard the Clinton say, that we heard Barack Obama say,

1070
00:58:50,240 --> 00:58:52,200
Speaker 2: I believe they would beat you up and throw you

1071
00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:57,800
Speaker 2: out in the street. Why Why has the Democratic Party

1072
00:58:58,280 --> 00:59:04,040
Speaker 2: decided that it's principal and primary constituency should be illegal aliens.

1073
00:59:04,680 --> 00:59:07,400
Speaker 2: Look what's happening around the country today. Not only is

1074
00:59:07,400 --> 00:59:10,520
Speaker 2: that sort of language a relic of the distant past,

1075
00:59:11,280 --> 00:59:16,360
Speaker 2: it has been replaced by new language. That new language

1076
00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:19,920
Speaker 2: is spoken by people like Chris van Holland, Senator from Maryland,

1077
00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:24,160
Speaker 2: who went all the way to El Salvador to have

1078
00:59:24,800 --> 00:59:28,200
Speaker 2: Margarita's with an illegal alien who got deported from his state.

1079
00:59:28,920 --> 00:59:32,680
Speaker 2: It's spoken by the Democratic officials in Minnesota and in

1080
00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:36,480
Speaker 2: Oregon and in other blue state in blue city jurisdictions

1081
00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:40,800
Speaker 2: who say that federal ice officers should not be allowed

1082
00:59:40,800 --> 00:59:43,360
Speaker 2: to enforce federal law in their state, and in fact,
