00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 1: The voice of free speech, the truth delivered, common Sense

2
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 1: for the American people. Welcome to the Scott Jennings Show.

3
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 2: Okay, it's Friday, January twenty ninth. Don Lemon has been

4
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:25,120
Speaker 2: squeezed by the feds. Trump has named Kevin Walsh as

5
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 2: his nominee for Chairman of the Federal Reserve, and we

6
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 2: are tracking the possibility of a government shut down today.

7
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 2: This is Scott Jennings Common Sense for the American People.

8
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 2: I am on the mend. Thanks to Jen Horn for

9
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 2: filling in for me yesterday, and thank you so much

10
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 2: to everyone for tuning in as we close out the

11
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 2: first month of our new two hour show here on Salem.

12
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 2: In January alone, we had the Vice President, the Speaker

13
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 2: of the House, dozens of members of Congress, administration officials,

14
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 2: pundits and writers. Most importantly, we had you, the listener.

15
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 2: You have made us the fastest growing radio news program

16
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 2: in all of America. So thank you for supporting common

17
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 2: Sense for the American people. At thirty three minutes past

18
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,680
Speaker 2: the hour today, my good friend Rich Lowry from the

19
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,320
Speaker 2: National Review joins us to discuss the news of the day,

20
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 2: and in our second hour, we have our traditional Friday

21
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 2: Punditry with Rob Bluie and also the one and only

22
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 2: Officer Brandon Tatum joining us from Arizona. But first, lots

23
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 2: of breaking news today. This morning, the President announced his

24
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 2: new pick for FED Chairman, Kevin Walsh. If confirmed, he'll

25
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 2: replace Jerome Powell, whose term as chair ends in May.

26
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 2: Warsh is a former member of the FED Board and

27
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 2: he spent years in the private sector. His nomination is

28
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 2: earning praise from across the spectrum. Markets like it, and

29
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 2: now we'll see what questions await him and his confirmation.

30
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 2: Pro North Carolina Senator Tom Tillis has pledged to hold

31
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 2: any FED nominee over the DOJ's recent subpoena sent to

32
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 2: Jerome Powell. We'll see how that plays out. Also breaking

33
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 2: this morning, and while you slept last night, the FBI

34
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 2: arrested former CNN News anchor Don Lemon in Beverly Hills, California.

35
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 2: Lemon was indicted by a federal grand jury for being

36
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 2: part of an angry mob that stormed a Minneapolis Baptist

37
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 2: church the other day. Lemon is charged with conspiracy against

38
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:38,399
Speaker 2: rights as well as violating the Face Act. We'll keep

39
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 2: you posted as this story develops, but is don Lemon

40
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 2: himself once told us all cut.

41
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 3: Twelve, nobody is above the law.

42
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 4: Nobody's above the law.

43
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 2: Democrats and folks on the left are melting down over

44
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 2: this arrest Lemon casting himself as a journalist and therefore untouchable.

45
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 2: It seems to me that the position of the left

46
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 2: in America right now is that if you're holding a

47
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 2: cell phone or any kind of a camera, you can

48
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:08,239
Speaker 2: break any law that you want on First Amendment grounds.

49
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 2: That's what they say about these radical agitators in Minnesota.

50
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 2: Oh well, look, he was holding a cell phone. Doesn't

51
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 2: he have a right to film things with a cell phone?

52
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 4: Well?

53
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 2: Sure, but from a safe distance, not while you are

54
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 2: simultaneously disrupting or putting your hands on federal law enforcement,

55
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 2: or kicking out the tail lights of their vehicles or

56
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 2: blocking the street. You get the picture. Holding a camera

57
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 2: doesn't absolve you from having to follow the law. Here's

58
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 2: how I called it on CNN last night. Cut thirteen.

59
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 2: The word impede is it.

60
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 5: Don't people in America have the constitutional right to protest?

61
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 4: Yes or no?

62
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 6: I do.

63
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 5: I would just point out to you, though, that in

64
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 5: a court case in Minnesota. This week there was a

65
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 5: district court ruling that was overturned by the Eighth Circuit,

66
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 5: and the panel of the Eighth Circuit said they had

67
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 5: reviewed hours and hours of footage from all these supposed

68
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 5: protests and even though some people were doing protected speech

69
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 5: and protected protests, that much of the time it crossed

70
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 5: the line that it was not protest activity.

71
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 3: So it's not all just protesting.

72
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 7: Some of it is.

73
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 3: Some of it is crossing the line.

74
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 5: Some of it is designed to impede federal law enforcement,

75
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 5: and that is a crime.

76
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, protesting is one thing. Violating people's rights, storming churches,

77
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 2: Impeding federal law enforcement is quite another. All of this

78
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:34,919
Speaker 2: political vigilanteism that has emerged on the left was predictable.

79
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,359
Speaker 2: Last July, there was a news article in Axios with

80
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 2: the following headline quote, there needs to be blood. Democrat

81
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 2: voters tell them to get shot in Trump resistance push.

82
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 2: The article stated that Democratic voters wanted their representatives to

83
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 2: break the rules, fight dirty, and not be afraid to

84
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 2: get hurt, even getting shot. They asked for let me

85
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 2: repeat the demands of the Democratic base. There needs to

86
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 2: be blood, and that's what they've gotten. Isn't it. With

87
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 2: the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretty Whatever you

88
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 2: think of the conduct of federal officers in these incidents,

89
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 2: the radicalized Democratic base in fact got its wish. There

90
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 2: has been blood on the streets of Minneapolis. Mission accomplished,

91
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 2: I suppose, and people like Minnesota Governor Tim Walls are

92
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 2: more than happy to keep the blood flowing. Walls has

93
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 2: told The Atlantic magazine this week that he believes what's

94
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:37,919
Speaker 2: happening in Minneapolis is a modern day Fort Sumter, you know,

95
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 2: the place where the first shots of the American Civil

96
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 2: War were fired. Although mainstream media has largely ignored Walls's comments,

97
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 2: which were made in a very public way to The Atlantic,

98
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 2: I informed the panel about it last night on CNN.

99
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 2: Here's cut five.

100
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 4: We way have to say.

101
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 5: I have to say, yes. He said today that he

102
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 5: thought maybe this was like the next Fort Sumter. And

103
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 5: when I Governor Wall said that, and previously he had

104
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 5: referenced the Battle of Gettysburg. And so when I hear

105
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 5: that kind of language coming out of a governor, it's

106
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 5: sort of fantasizing about an American Civil War. First of all,

107
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 5: I don't think he's stopped to consider who that makes

108
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 5: him in this entire endeavors spoiler alert and number two,

109
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 5: if you wanted more calm, if you wanted a little

110
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 5: bit more cooperation, if you wanted to ratchet things down,

111
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 5: you would not be referencing the first shots of the

112
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 5: Civil War and maybe thinking that we're in the middle

113
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 5: of another one.

114
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 8: You agree or disagree, We don't want to get into

115
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 8: a debate about political rhetoric.

116
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,359
Speaker 5: I don't think because you do.

117
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 2: You like the Fort Sumter language. I don't like it,

118
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 2: but I don't like a.

119
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 8: Lot of things that I hear in our political atmosphere.

120
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 8: But I just constantly embaffled by when it is directed

121
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 8: at conservatives, they suddenly want to clutch their little pearls,

122
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 8: and then when they constantly egg and ramp.

123
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 3: Up that you like it?

124
00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 8: No, I don't like it at all. But what I'm

125
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 8: saying is what I'm saying is called it on both sides,

126
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 8: which I'll never do. See you only want to you

127
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 8: don't want to that side, But when your side.

128
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 2: Are you now? Previously, previously Walls had encouraged his radical

129
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 2: base to fight like they were at Gettysburg. Now he's

130
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 2: invoking Fort Sumter. I used to call this man a buffoon,

131
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 2: but it is apparent that he has clearly simply deranged,

132
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 2: openly fantasizing about a new American Civil war, and he's

133
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:38,239
Speaker 2: casting himself as the Confederacy. I guess Democrats, I suppose,

134
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 2: haven't really changed all that much since the eighteen sixties.

135
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 2: Everything the left has claimed about Republicans, they violate people's rights,

136
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 2: they are modern day Confederates, they caused an insurrection. Well,

137
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 2: it seems that they themselves have come to embody all

138
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 2: of those things. Don Levin clearly violated the civil rights

139
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 2: of the people in that church. It's on tape, really

140
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 2: no question about it. And Tim Walls, joined by more

141
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 2: than a handful of other Democrats, Democrats in and out

142
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 2: of Minnesota, are clearly wanting to spark a national insurrection

143
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 2: against the federal government. This is the modern left. They

144
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 2: want blood, They want to break the rules. They want

145
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 2: a violent confrontation, complete with casualties and an apparent break

146
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 2: with the federal Union, all because Trump is the president

147
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 2: and they said that Republicans were the election deniers. Give

148
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 2: me a break. This is the Scott Sheenning Show on Salem.

149
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 2: Common sense for the American people. I have a message

150
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 2: for you about wireless service. Here's something that most people

151
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 2: don't realize. There is a company you can choose that

152
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 2: actually shares your values in this space. They invest in

153
00:08:55,679 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 2: your values. In fact, Patriot Mobile isn't just a wires provider.

154
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 2: They're an activist organization that is funded by selling top

155
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 2: tier cell phone service. They stand in the gap where

156
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 2: other companies will not, and Patriot Mobile delivers prioritized premium

157
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 2: service on all three major US networks, giving you the

158
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:25,000

180
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,360

Speaker 3: Scott Jennings.

197
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 2: Welcome back to the Scott Jennings Show. Friday, a January thirtieth,

198
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 2: cold day here in New York cold all week. Actually,

199
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 2: I was reading about the aquarium in Long Island. By

200
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 2: the way, they had to literally bring the penguins at

201
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 2: the aquarium inside. It's too cold even for the penguins

202
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 2: here in New York City. How are the rest of

203
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 2: us supposed to function? And if the penguins can't even

204
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 2: do it? All right? More news today. Remember what you

205
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 2: were told in November when Democrats won governor's races in

206
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:14,439
Speaker 2: Virginia and New Jersey that these Democrats, the so called moderates,

207
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:19,839
Speaker 2: were laser focused on affordability. Well, let's see how that's going,

208
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 2: shall we. Tomorrow marks two full weeks into new Governor

209
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 2: Abigail Spangberger's reign in Virginia. How is the affordability agenda progressing?

210
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 2: Over there? Let's listen to cut four.

211
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 9: Here's a list of the many tax increases and proposals

212
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 9: Democrats in Virginia are considering passing. They include additional local

213
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 9: sales tax in all Virginia counties and cities, new personal

214
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 9: property tax on electric leaf blowers and electric landscaping equipment,

215
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 9: large employer tax, gun and ammunition tax, new income tax brackets,

216
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 9: a delivery tax. This would hit you if you make

217
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 9: an order on Amazon, Uber Eats or an order that

218
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 9: includes you d FedEx delivery, et cetera. Here in Northern Virginia,

219
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 9: there's also a tax they're looking at for events, concerts,

220
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 9: and investment income tax, storage facility tax, gym membership tax,

221
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 9: dog walking tax, dog grooming tax, counseling tax, digital personal

222
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:21,559
Speaker 9: property tax, new car taxes and highway use fees, and

223
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 9: increase in the hotel tax here and Arlington state wide

224
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 9: speed cameras. Now, these aren't taxes, but they would include

225
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 9: more fines for some drivers, dry cleaning tax, home repair tax,

226
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 9: and a vehicle repair tax.

227
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 2: Affordability affordability. They told us that's WJLATV in Virginia. With

228
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 2: the report, by the way, but not to be outdone,

229
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,319
Speaker 2: the new governor in New Jersey, Miky Cheryl, the other

230
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 2: supposed moderate, laid out her plans this week to launch

231
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 2: a state government portal to track and report the location

232
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 2: of ICE agents. Let's hear from the new governor there

233
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 2: cut number seven.

234
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 7: I've already met with ag. We are putting on information

235
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 7: on what helping New Jerseys know their rights. We are

236
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 7: not going to allow any iced raids to be staged

237
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 7: from state properties, and we are also going to be

238
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 7: standing up a portal so people can upload all their

239
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 7: cell phone videos and alert people, like if you see

240
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 7: an ICE agent in the street, get your phone out.

241
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 2: Affordability. It's funny, she was making that announcement on Comedy Central.

242
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 2: It would be funny if it weren't so tragic. You

243
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 2: realize here, by the way, that a governor of a state,

244
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 2: New Jersey, is literally using public money to create a

245
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 2: public tracking system so that people can go out and

246
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 2: attack federal law enforcement. Right, I mean, that's the purpose

247
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 2: of this. Ask yourself this, by the way, what if someone,

248
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 2: anyone created a public tracker to track the minute by

249
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 2: minute movements of the governor or any other public official.

250
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 2: Hey here they are, come get them. I mean that person.

251
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 2: If they did, that would be labeled a domestic terrorists

252
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 2: and tossed in jail. So what makes this different Nothing?

253
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 2: In my opinion, These, by the way, are the affordability democrats,

254
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 2: raising your taxes, creating state funded mechanisms by which you

255
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 2: can plan your next attack on federal law enforcement. None

256
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 2: of this has anything to do with affordability. All of it.

257
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 2: All of it has everything to do with pleasing the

258
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 2: radical base of the Democratic Party. Virginia really is something else.

259
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 2: Tax after tax after tax after tax. By the time

260
00:15:55,480 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 2: they levy all these taxes in Virginia, Virginia will be

261
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 2: one of the highest tax states in the country. We've

262
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 2: seen what happens when tax burdens get so high and

263
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 2: these blue states people leave. It's all completely insane, terrible

264
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 2: politics and terrible policy. But you get what you vote for,

265
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 2: don't you. You buy the narrative. Oh, they're about affordability. Oh,

266
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 2: these are the moderates. If you buy into the narratives,

267
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 2: you get what you deserve if you cast those votes.

268
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 2: When we come back, Rich Lowry of the National Review

269

272
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 2: we are facing a possible government shut down. Lindsey Graham

273
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 2: is holding up the process. Now there was a supposed deal.

274
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,360

Speaker 10: the way.

292
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 2: They really do great movies. Our family loves them. And

293
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 2: she was really something else and she was in the

294
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 2: Shit's Creek and in some commercial. I mean, she was

295
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 2: a really well known person. So a that's a sad,

296
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 2: sad development.

297
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:09,400
Speaker 4: Rich.

298
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 2: The eyes of the nation this week had been on Minneapolis,

299
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 2: and it feels like every day we're getting a new

300
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 2: breaking news story and no different today. Don Lemon, somebody

301
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 2: that you and I both know quite well, was arrested

302
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 2: early this morning. He was actually arrested in Beverly Hills, California,

303
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 2: for storming into a Baptist church a couple of weeks

304
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 2: ago in Minneapolis. What was your reaction to, Don Lemon?

305
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 2: Is this whole journalism defense going to stand up?

306
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 10: Yeah?

307
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,679
Speaker 11: So this has been pretty well forecast, and we had

308
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 11: reporting that they tried to get an arrest warrant from

309
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 11: a mad straight judge, didn't get it. Apparently now they

310
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 11: have a criminal indictment. And look, I think at the

311
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 11: very least what he did is reprehensible. I believe he

312
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 11: broke the law and entering that church, knew what others

313
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 11: were going to do, breaking the law and disrupting that service.

314
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 11: And the First Amendment is no protective shield that lets

315
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 11: you break the laws, no protective shield against against getting

316
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 11: arrested or indicted if you've broken the law. But it

317
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 11: will be a defense if there's an eventual, eventual trial.

318
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 11: So my guess is he's not getting convicted for this.

319
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 11: But he'd stepped over the line.

320
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, he really did, you know. I was talking in

321
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 2: the top of the show today about this whole journalism

322
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 2: defense and really the broader defense on the left. Right now,

323
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:28,719
Speaker 2: it seems like if you're doing anything, as long as

324
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 2: you're holding a camera or your cell phone, the left

325
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 2: seems to think that gives you some sort of immunity

326
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 2: from breaking the law. They're applying the same thing to

327
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 2: these radical protesters in Minneapolis. Oh well, they're just filming.

328
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 2: Well yeah, but they're simultaneously putting their hands on federal

329
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 2: law enforcement. They're impeding federal law enforcement activity.

330
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 4: You know.

331
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 2: The you know, simply recording something is not some great shield.

332
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 2: I mean, what if you and I decided to I

333
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 2: don't know, follow along with a bunch of bank robbers

334
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 2: and go rob a bank just because we were journalists

335
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 2: or because we were filming. It wouldn't give us some

336
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,400
Speaker 2: immunity if we took part in it, wouldn't.

337
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 11: Yeah, someone want to X pointed out, what if you're

338
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 11: a journalist or system journalist and you go in with

339
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 11: the crowd into the Capitol on January sixth, and you're

340
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 11: filming it, you know.

341
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 10: And you're talking to Mike. Are they not going to

342
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:16,400
Speaker 10: arrest you?

343
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 11: Because of course they would have arrest you, rested you

344
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 11: and thrown you to the wall. And you're absolutely right

345
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 11: about these so called observers and monitors in Minneapolis, by

346
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 11: and large, they're there to try to disrupt and interfere,

347
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 11: which is the opposite of mere observation. It's very telling

348
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 11: that second video that's emerged with Alex pretty This was

349
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 11: totally unhinged behavior, you know, challenging a DHS guy to

350
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 11: fight them and come and assault him, spitting at the car.

351
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 11: Spitting as a form of assault. It's less serious against

352
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,120
Speaker 11: a vehicle than a person. But then he kicks the

353
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:52,360
Speaker 11: tailgate out, which is a crime. And then the supposed gestapo,

354
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 11: what do they do they chase them, and they push

355
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 11: them down so they can get in their vehicle and

356
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 11: leave unimpeded. They don't even arrest them. And if they

357
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 11: had arrested him and he had been charged, you might

358
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 11: be still with us today because he wouldn't have been

359
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 11: doing a repeat performance on that Faithful Street last weekend,

360
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 11: and he was armed both times. Just incredibly irresponsible. He

361
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,679
Speaker 11: was lucky something horrible didn't happen the first time around.

362
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 2: You know what strikes me about that video, We were

363
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 2: just showing it. They're rich about him pretty kicking out

364
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 2: the tail light. No Minneapolis police anywhere to be found,

365
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 2: no local cops, no nothing. And you're right, pretty was

366
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 2: not arrested, either by the Feds or by the locals.

367
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 2: I agree with you. Had he been arrested there or

368
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 2: somehow cited, I don't know, maybe the next iteration doesn't happen.

369
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 9: I tell you.

370
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 2: One thing that's become clear is that these protesters are

371
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 2: more than just random organic people stepping out on their

372
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 2: front porches and filming things. There's obviously a very deep

373
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 2: level of organization going on here. They have signal chats,

374
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 2: they have WhatsApp groups, they have training man annuals. They're

375
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:04,199
Speaker 2: obviously being well funded. It struck me. One of the

376
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 2: things from Tom Holman's press conference, which by the way,

377
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 2: he was brilliant, is that he said he was aware

378
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,399
Speaker 2: of these they're looking into these. I really hope the

379
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 2: FEDS cracked down on these highly organized disruptors because they

380
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 2: have gone well beyond protest. The Eighth Circuit this week

381
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 2: actually said this has gone well beyond legal protesting. What

382
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 2: do you make of all this sort of underlying organization

383
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 2: that we see here. I mean, it's almost paramilitary in nature,

384
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 2: the way they organize themselves, the jargon they use, I

385
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 2: mean it is quite intricate.

386
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 11: Yeah, they're calling for backup, they're alerting people where they

387
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 11: need more resources. I consider a low grade, mostly nonviolent

388
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 11: form of insurgency. This is meant to expel what they

389
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:56,120
Speaker 11: consider an occupying force, which are federal agents enforcing federal law,

390
00:22:56,200 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 11: which is totally legitimate and obviously legal from their jurisdiction.

391
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 11: So it's highly disturbing. As even more deserving, the mob

392
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 11: seems to be winning. I highly admire Tom Holman. I

393
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 11: think he's a big professional. I think there was a

394
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 11: great press conference he had, But the Feds are clearly

395
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 11: taking a step back in order to lessen this activity

396
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 11: because they've been losing every time they shove one of

397
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,160
Speaker 11: these people, even though the show might be totally justified.

398
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 11: And I think the words you hear most often from

399
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 11: agents on this videos, on these kind of videos is

400
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 11: back up, back off, because they want the space because

401
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 11: people are trying to interfere, but it doesn't play well.

402
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,479
Speaker 11: And I think over the last week Trumps has realized that,

403
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 11: and he obviously sent Home in there to quote unquote

404
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:43,120
Speaker 11: de escalate and what's the verb of the hour.

405
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 2: Let's talk about Home in a little bit. He did

406
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,639
Speaker 2: show up in Minneapolis. He did meet with Walls, and

407
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 2: he met with Fry. He apparently struck some kind of

408
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 2: an arrangement with the Attorney General Keith Ellison to get

409
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 2: some cooperation on getting these ice detainers honored in the

410
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:00,399
Speaker 2: county jails. I want to play a clip of a

411
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 2: home and let's do cut number three and we can

412
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,399
Speaker 2: just talk about his press conference in general. Here's Tom Holman.

413
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 2: The White House borders are in Minneapolis.

414
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 12: I also want to remember the politicians are continue attacking us.

415
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:19,159
Speaker 12: Where were they in the last four years when the

416
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 12: number of women and children's sex traffick, it went all

417
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 12: time high. Where were they when a quarterminion Americans died

418
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 12: from Vatannam from across the border. Where were they when

419
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:37,479
Speaker 12: women and children are dying making that journey? Where were

420
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 12: they were fo fourth over four thousand amlies making that

421
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 12: journey died, historic record?

422
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 4: Where were they? Not a word?

423
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,160
Speaker 12: Now, we're just trying to respond to what happened last

424
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:52,879
Speaker 12: four years and keeping this country safe and where arrested

425
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 12: a lot of public safety trusts taking off the streets.

426
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,879
Speaker 12: Was make this country safer Britain. Trump promised, make this

427
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,119
Speaker 12: country safe again, and that's what we're.

428
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:03,479
Speaker 2: I like that part of the press conference for rich

429
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,440
Speaker 2: and I also like that he said, look, we're enforcing

430
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 2: laws passed by Congress. You want to protest, somebody, go press,

431
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 2: protest Congress, get him to change the laws. We're just

432
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 2: here to enforce the laws. It was that kind of

433
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 2: matter of fact, sort of stick to the fact stuff

434
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 2: that's showed that Home and Homan needs to be outfront

435
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 2: more for the White House.

436
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 11: Yeah, it has a gruff, common sensical voice I think

437
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 11: is highly appealing and persuasive. Now there's a different approach

438
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 11: here within the administration where Home has been on the side.

439
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,160
Speaker 10: Let's go after the worst of the worst.

440
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 11: That's what we have the resources to do, that's what's

441
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 11: politically sustainable, and that we can do work site raids

442
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 11: and work site enforcement to try to force more people

443
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 11: to self deport, which is a key aspect of this.

444
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 11: And the other point of view that had been prevailing

445
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 11: in Minneapolis is wide, wide ranging raids, not just the

446
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 11: worst of the worst. Pick up as many people as

447
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,879
Speaker 11: you can. That sends a message to all legal aliens

448
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 11: in the country. You know you want to leave now

449
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 11: because you don't want Greg Bavino knocking on your door.

450
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 11: And the problem with that message it wasn't just targeted

451
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 11: to illegal aliens. Everyone else could see it and they

452
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:07,879
Speaker 11: didn't like it. So Holman is a different approach. What

453
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 11: I fear though, Scott, is he might be sugarcoating how

454
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:14,879
Speaker 11: much cooperation or how well these meetings are going with

455
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,359
Speaker 11: these officials because Elson came out I didn't agree to anything.

456
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 11: So if Homan can get them actually to hand over

457
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 11: illegal aliens from the city and county jails, that'd be great,

458
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,159
Speaker 11: and get the cops to show up and do some

459
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 11: of this crowd control when their mob's out of control,

460
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,399
Speaker 11: that would be great, and he's trying to get that.

461
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,160
Speaker 11: I'm not sure he will because I think the officials

462
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,159
Speaker 11: there they think there's blood in the water and they

463
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 11: think they can force the administration to stand down no

464
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 11: matter what.

465
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 10: I hope they're wrong about that, but it remains to

466
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 10: be seen.

467
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 2: What did you think about Tim Walls casting himself as

468
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:50,679
Speaker 2: modern day Jefferson Davis saying that Minneapolis is the new

469
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 2: Fort Sumter. You know, he originally it was Gettysburg. Now

470
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:59,919
Speaker 2: he's backtracking, it's actually Fort Sumter. What about Walls fantasizing

471
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 2: about Civil War Ridge.

472
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 11: Yeah, well, he doesn't seem to realize that that he's

473
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,639
Speaker 11: in the position of the guys firing on unforced Sumter,

474
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 11: unresisting legitimate.

475
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 10: Federal authority, and an apple de facto nullification.

476
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 11: It's it's very bad. I think it's shameful. It's disgusting.

477
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 11: But the worry has to be here is going to metastasize.

478
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,640
Speaker 11: You have Mikey Cheryl, new governor of New Jersey, talking

479
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 11: about keeping a database of isation so they can be tracked.

480
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 11: So was talking about the street network. She wants to

481
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 11: make that official and like a government sort of operation

482
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 11: to harass ice. You've had similar sentiments stated by folks

483
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:41,199
Speaker 11: in Seattle. So this is defiance of federal law. It's

484
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 11: federal agents enforcing federal law. You might not like the

485
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 11: way they're doing it, you might think they should be nicer,

486
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 11: but this is entirely in accord with the black and

487
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 11: white white lettering of federal statute that say if you're

488
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 11: here illegally, you shall be detained and held until you're

489
00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 11: proceeding reaches its finality.

490
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 10: And we've just we've gotten used to totally.

491
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:05,479
Speaker 11: Violating that law and ignoring it for decades and decades.

492
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 11: And now how have these jurisdictions saying no, you just

493
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:09,360
Speaker 11: never can enforce it. It doesn't matter if you want

494
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:09,680
Speaker 11: to or not.

495
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 10: We're going to resist you.

496
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, these these democrats who are trying to nullify federal

497
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 2: law and now taking it a step further, the Miky

498
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:21,879
Speaker 2: Sheryl public ice tracker, the mayor of Seattle doing the

499
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 2: same thing. And you have all these left wing NGOs

500
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:27,919
Speaker 2: out there who were funding, you know, sort of similar

501
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 2: kind of tracking operations. And I was wondering in the

502
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 2: segment prior what if somebody set up a public tracker

503
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 2: to follow around Democratic elected officials. I mean, if you

504
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 2: had people out there setting up trackers and saying, you know,

505
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 2: this Democrat senator or this Democrat governor is going to

506
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 2: show up at this place in this time, everybody show

507
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 2: up and get them, and those people would be labeled

508
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 2: domestic terrorists. They would be arrested, they would be thrown

509
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 2: in jail immediately. And yet you have these Democrats who

510
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 2: were I mean, let's be honest, they want people to

511
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 2: show up and create some kind of conference with this

512
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 2: federal law enforcement. It's extremely dangerous, but it seems like

513
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 2: that's really the demand of the Democratic base right now,

514
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 2: and it's extremely dangerous. Our guest is Rich Lowry. He

515
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 2: is the editor of the National Review. We're kicking around

516
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 2: the news of the week with Rich, and we're going

517
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 2: to keep doing that when we come back. I do

518
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 2: want to give you, however, a quick word from our

519
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 2: friends that relief factor. I want to pass along a

520
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 2: listener note that I thought was worth sharing. This one

521
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 2: comes from my home commonwealth of Kentucky. A nice lady

522
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 2: named Eileen, who is eighty seven years old, wrote us

523
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 2: and said there was a point where walking had become

524
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 2: really difficult, and she had thought to herself, well, this

525
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 2: is just part of getting older. But then she tried

526
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 2: Relief Factor and now Eileen writes us and says she's

527
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 2: walking again. She said she's dancing around to music. Her

528
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 2: words were simple. She has quote no pain. She started

529
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 2: out taking three packets a day, now she's down to two,

530
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 2: and she says Relief Factor has made a real difference

531
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 2: for her. This is Eileen from Kentucky, eighty seven years old,

532
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 2: and in my experience, that's what people are looking for

533
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 2: in life. Real improvement, not height, but real improvement. If

534
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 2: you've tried other things and had no success, Relief Factor

535
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,960

00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 2: You might get the answers from Relief Factor. More with

540
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 2: Rich Lowry on News of the Week. When we come back,

541
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 2: it's Scott Jennings on Salem's Stay with Us.

542
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 3: One Man Standing Tall against the leftist mob.

543
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 2: Here's Scott Jennings, Friday, January thirtieth, Our special guest this hour,

544
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 2: Rich Lowry, editor of the National Review, encourage you to

545
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 2: subscribe to that publication I have for many years. Rich.

546
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:06,719
Speaker 2: We appreciate your service in that venue. Rich, you're tracking

547
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 2: the government shutdown possibility in Washington, I presume and the

548
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 2: Senate in the House are working to avoid it. Lindsey

549
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 2: Graham has been holding up things a bit and I'm

550
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 2: just reading that Foon thinks they may get it all

551
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 2: worked out before dinner tonight. What are you hearing the latest?

552
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 2: Are we going to see a government shutdown or you

553
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 2: think you think they'll get it worked out.

554
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 11: I think we may see a very technical government shutdown

555
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 11: if the House doesn't get it in time. But I

556
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 11: assume the matter with Linda Graham will get worked out.

557
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 11: And the problem here Scott is Democrats really feel as

558
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 11: though they have the whippand on this issue now of

559
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 11: immigration and DHS. So they're going to cleave off DHS

560
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 11: funding from the rest of the funding bills that need

561
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 11: to be passed, something Republicans didn't want to do until

562
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 11: this week, and then Democrats are going to push for

563
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 11: so called reforms of DHS and ICE, one of which

564
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 11: would totally kneecap ice, which is the idea that they'll

565
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 11: no longer be able to rely on so called administrative

566
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 11: warrants issued by the agencies themselves. That's the way it's

567
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 11: worked for decades and decades. These aren't criminal matters. Most

568
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 11: immigration enforcement is civil enforcement, and instead have to get

569
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 11: judicial warrants, which is meant to totally gum up the

570
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 11: works and make it basically impossible for interior enforcement to happen.

571
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 11: So Republicans need to resist that at all costs, and

572
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 11: I assume they will.

573
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I hope they do, because yeah, this would kill

574
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 2: derail absolutely in Donald Trump's stated reason for running for

575
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 2: president in the first place, which is to get rid

576
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 2: of illegal aliens out of the country. And so Democrats

577
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 2: of course know that. We'll see, we'll see what they produce.

578
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 2: Tonight and over the weekend, was looking at some migration

579
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 2: data from the twenty twenty five Census. I wanted to

580
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 2: get your comment on rich net domestic migration data. This

581
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 2: is new data from the census from July first of

582
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 2: twenty four to July first of twenty five. The top

583
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 2: tens eight where people are moving all Red states, North Carolina, Texas,

584
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 2: South Carolina, Tennessee, that's the top four, the bottom ten

585
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 2: with one exception, all blue states, and the bottom three

586
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 2: where people are leaving fleeing Illinois which lost over forty

587
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 2: thousand people, New York, which lost over one hundred and

588
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 2: thirty seven thousand people, in California, which lost two hundred

589
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 2: and twenty nine thousand people. It certainly seems that policy

590
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 2: choices have their consequences, doesn't it.

591
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 10: Absolutely so you see kind of the acc SEC states.

592
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 11: I don't know whether maybe those conference labels don't matter

593
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 11: anymore because every conference is so spread out, but traditional.

594
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 10: Acc SEC states gaining. That's a function.

595
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 11: A lot of them have nice climates, but also they

596
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 11: have a much more better policy mix. And New York

597
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 11: and Illinois and California continue adopt self destructive policy. The

598
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 11: California is just shocking, given how gorgeous that state is,

599
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 11: given how many natural resources, that they've managed to take

600
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 11: major steps towards ruining it and chasing people out of California,

601
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 11: someplace that represented the American dream and really the tradition

602
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 11: of the middle classes as we've come to understand it

603
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 11: started in certain respecs in California that they've ruined.

604
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:24,360
Speaker 10: That is just amazing.

605
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 2: I've been out there more than usual lately, and it's

606
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 2: so beautiful. And you run into people out there who

607
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 2: love California and they and they're just despondent at what

608
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 2: California has become and how they're chasing all their entrepreneurs

609
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 2: out of California. It really is a travesty.

610
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 4: Rich.

611
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 2: We got about a minute. One final question to you

612
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 2: foreign policy, still trying to figure out if Trump's going

613
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,720
Speaker 2: to strike Iran. He's moved a bunch of military assets

614
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 2: into the Middle East. Do you think he'll do it?

615
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 2: Should he do it?

616
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 11: He just maintains scott As you know, this kind of

617
00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 11: black box deterrent capacity where no one knows, oh sir,

618
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 11: no one knows whether he's actually whether it means any

619
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,359
Speaker 11: given threat or not, because he can easily back off

620
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 11: and reverse course, which you did with his initial threat

621
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:11,839
Speaker 11: during the protest against Iran. I kind of think he's

622
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:15,280
Speaker 11: going to hit him again, but who knows, Stay tuned.

623
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 2: I guess the question is if you're in his position,

624
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 2: I mean, you obviously have the military capacity to hit them.

625
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 2: If I were in his shoes, I'd want to know

626
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:26,360
Speaker 2: if I hit them, will the regime fall? Can you

627
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 2: guarantee me an outcome here? Because you wouldn't want to

628
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 2: hit them, and the regime stays in power, and then

629
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 2: all of a sudden it looks like you, you know,

630
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 2: were ineffective because his previous moves on Iran have all

631
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:39,840
Speaker 2: been very effective, taking out, you know, the head of

632
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:42,839
Speaker 2: the Revolutionary Guard or taking out the nuclear facility. He's

633
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 2: always been very effective against these guys. But he wouldn't

634
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 2: want that to change. Rich Lowry is the editor of

636
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:55,320
Speaker 2: National Review. It's a great publication and we are grateful

637
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 2: for your time today. Appreciate you coming by.

638
00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 10: Rich Thanks so much, Scott, have great weekend.

639
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 2: All right, we're wrapping up the first hour. The second

640
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:06,400
Speaker 2: hour is coming. It's time for Friday punditry. Rob Bluie

641
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 2: is here and also the officer Brandon Tatum. Don't miss it.

642
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 2: Common sense coming back after this on Salem. You know something.

643
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:17,320
Speaker 2: Universities are kind of a bad deal. Six figures of

644
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 2: debt for a bachelor's degree. That signals less every year,

645
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:25,319
Speaker 2: four years spent navigating ideological rules instead of learning how

646
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 2: to think. Grades, inflated standards, lowered dissent punished. We call

647
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 2: it higher education, but it's mostly expensive daycare with a

648
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:39,240
Speaker 2: credential attached. The University of Austin, also known as UATX,

649
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:43,839
Speaker 2: is different, however. Admissions at UATX are based on test

650
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 2: scores alone, no essays, no resumes. Nobody cares who your

651
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 2: parents know. If you're smart enough, you're in UATX. Students

652
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 2: turned down U Chicago and fled Barnard to complete a

653
00:36:56,320 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 2: demanding great books corps including Aristotle, shakespe to Tokville, alongside

654
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:07,839
Speaker 2: real math, science, economics, and AI classes are small. Professors

655
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:11,880
Speaker 2: actually know your name. Grades aren't padded. Excellence is measured

656
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 2: and rewarded from day one. Students work directly with top founders, investors,

657
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:23,320
Speaker 2: and institutions, building companies, doing serious research, and landing real internships.

658
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:27,280
Speaker 2: Then here's the part that changes everything. There is no tuition.

659
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:32,879
Speaker 2: Thanks to private donors, Every UATX student graduates debt free.

660
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 2: You're free to take risks, free to start companies, and

661
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 2: free to build a life instead of paying off loans.

662
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 2: If you want an empty credential, look elsewhere. If you

663
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:46,919
Speaker 2: want a serious education that actually prepares you to lead,

664
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 2: apply to the University of Austin. Visit u Austin dot org.

665
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:54,440
Speaker 2: That's you, Austin dot org.

Speaker 1: The voice of free speech, the truth, deliver common sense

667
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 1: for the American people. Welcome to the Scott Jenning Show.

668
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 2: Okay, it's Friday, January thirty, second hour of the Scott

669
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 2: Jitting Show. As we close out the week and close

670
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:19,319
Speaker 2: out the month. It's been a crazy day already. Don

671
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:22,800
Speaker 2: Lemon has been arrested, among many other things. Also just

672
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 2: into the Scott Jenning Show. Sounds like they've released millions

673
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:32,440
Speaker 2: of files and the Epstein files that have mandated by

674
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:35,880
Speaker 2: Congress to come out DJ now producing millions more documents,

675
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 2: and it sounds like one of the documents contains revelations

676
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 2: from Jeffrey Epstein saying that Bill Gates caught sexually transmitted

677
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:55,840
Speaker 2: diseases from Russian girls and then suggested secretly slipping his wife,

678
00:38:55,960 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 2: Melinda Gates, antibiotics. That's in the Epstein files today. It's

679
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:06,320
Speaker 2: a crazy it's a crazy front. Nobody could take a

680
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:09,360
Speaker 2: day off anymore. It's crazy every day to discuss it

681
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:14,319
Speaker 2: all plus more. Rob Bluie, the President and executive editor

682
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:18,319
Speaker 2: of The Daily Signal, is here. Rob my Man, Welcome back,

683
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:20,760
Speaker 2: into the Scott Jenning Show. Thankful you're here.

684
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:23,799
Speaker 13: Scott, Scott, it's great to see you, and I can

685
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:26,279
Speaker 13: I can attest that we cannot take any time off.

686
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:28,879
Speaker 13: I mean in Donald Trump's Washington d C. I'll tell

687
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 13: you He's got us busy every every moment of the day,

688
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 13: seven days a week.

689
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:35,120
Speaker 2: I mean, just when you thought you might get an

690
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 2: hour reprieve, you've got Bill Gates talking about catching STDs

691
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:44,439
Speaker 2: with Jeffrey Epstein. I mean, it's wild here. Let's let's

692
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 2: start with Minneapolis today, Rob because it seems to me,

693
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 2: I mean, we we've obviously been tracking the back and forth.

694
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 2: Tom Homan is there, which I think, by the way,

695
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 2: was a great move by the President. It feels like

696
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:58,759
Speaker 2: the local police have been freed up to engage a

697
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:01,799
Speaker 2: little bit. That's a good develop up. It seems Don

698
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:03,759
Speaker 2: Lemon's been arrested, which I'll get your thoughts on in

699
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 2: a minute. It seems to me one of the big

700
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 2: issues that is still hanging out there is how these

701
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:13,360
Speaker 2: radical agitators are being organized and how they're being funded,

702
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,239
Speaker 2: and whether anybody's going to be brought to justice on this.

703
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 2: We have some new audio from the President. He just

704
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:22,840
Speaker 2: said this a little while ago in the Oval office.

705
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 2: He has confirmed that his Department of Justice is zeroing

706
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 2: in on the people who are funding this insurrection in Minneapolis.

707
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 2: Let's play cut fifteen. The president pretty.

708
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:36,840
Speaker 6: Much, we're getting very close to it, but we know

709
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:39,840
Speaker 6: pretty much who's funding this stuff. He's a paid insurrection,

710
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:44,480
Speaker 6: paid trouble makers. But I was elected by a landslide.

711
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 6: I won every swing state, I won the popular vote

712
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 6: by a lot, I won everything. I won everything, and

713
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 6: I was elected by a landslide or the law and

714
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 6: order and on strongboarders. We had a border that was

715
00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:00,279
Speaker 6: so bad, so open, with twenty five million people came

716
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:02,280
Speaker 6: in over a period of four years, and now nobody

717
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 6: comes in. Nobody even tries to come in. And I

718
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:10,280
Speaker 6: could always say I think we'll say it very plainly.

719
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 6: Elections have consequences.

720
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:17,000
Speaker 2: I mean, Rob, the president is right, elections have consequences.

721
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:19,440
Speaker 2: He made clear we were going to deport people, and

722
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:22,720
Speaker 2: now you have Democrats and radical agitators trying to nullify

723
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:23,400
Speaker 2: federal law.

724
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 13: What say you, Scott, Absolutely, you're correct on that point.

725
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 13: This was the animating issue of the twenty twenty four

726
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:35,239
Speaker 13: presidential campaign, and even goes back all the way to

727
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 13: Donald Trump's first run for the White House. If there

728
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 13: was one issue that was most defining of his campaigns,

729
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:44,120
Speaker 13: it has been the issue of border security and immigration.

730
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 13: No American should be surprised by what's going on right

731
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:49,920
Speaker 13: now with our federal government and the fact that they

732
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:53,480
Speaker 13: are actually enforcing immigration laws. And you have ice and

733
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 13: Border Patrol and others in the federal government taking up

734
00:41:57,360 --> 00:42:00,840
Speaker 13: the responsibility that quite frankly, Joe Biden failed to do.

735
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:05,399
Speaker 13: Where are all these democrats and left wing agitators? Where

736
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:08,560
Speaker 13: were they during Barack Obama's years when he was deporting

737
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 13: four hundred thousand people a year, right, You didn't hear

738
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:14,400
Speaker 13: a peep from them, mostly for the most part. And finally,

739
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:16,920
Speaker 13: I'm glad to hear that the President says that they're

740
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:20,400
Speaker 13: making progress on who is behind some of these operations. Obviously,

741
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:23,759
Speaker 13: there have been investigative journalists and others who have suggested

742
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 13: the root causes and the funding for these sources. I'm

743
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:29,680
Speaker 13: sure that there are people who just turn up in

744
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:32,880
Speaker 13: Minneapolis and show up for protests, but there are clearly

745
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:36,759
Speaker 13: left wing agitators who are organizing these events. I see

746
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:39,480
Speaker 13: them with my own eyes, right here in Washington, d C.

747
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:42,400
Speaker 13: They pop up from time to time in locations all

748
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:45,920
Speaker 13: across the city. These are not just organic protests. Clearly

749
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:46,960
Speaker 13: there's somebody behind them.

750
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:50,680
Speaker 2: Of course there are, and we have all kinds of evidence.

751
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:53,680
Speaker 2: And this is one thing that frustrates me about mainstream

752
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 2: media coverage of Minneapolis.

753
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 3: Right now.

754
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:59,600
Speaker 2: You get no discussion of this at all. Mainstream media

755
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:03,800
Speaker 2: portray these people as just organic, grassroots folks who've wandered

756
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 2: out on their front porch to see what's going on,

757
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:09,879
Speaker 2: and you know, film what's happening on the sidewalk. That's

758
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 2: not at all what's happening. But it seems like the

759
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:16,239
Speaker 2: government is taking the idea that this is effectively a

760
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 2: paramilitary operation that's being organized and funded. Very seriously. Let's

761
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 2: play cut seventeen. This is the Deputy Attorney General, Todd

762
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 2: Blanche who says, yes, indeed, there is an investigation into

763
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:31,280
Speaker 2: how all this is being funded and organized. Cut seventeen.

764
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 14: You can get an exus of left wing roots. This

765
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 14: guja said that that's something that you guys were concerned about.

766
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:42,080
Speaker 14: Are you following money? Are you looking at the potential that.

767
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:43,839
Speaker 3: All of this may be related.

768
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 10: Somewhere yes, thank you, mister wy Attorney General.

769
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:53,239
Speaker 2: Okay, Todd blanche a man a few words. He just says, yes,

770
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:57,320
Speaker 2: we're investigating. I'm not sure what the what all crimes

771
00:43:57,480 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 2: they could be looking at here, but I really hope

772
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 2: they they stay on this, and I'm glad, Robin, I

773
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:05,279
Speaker 2: want your comment on this that they stayed with the

774
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:09,040
Speaker 2: idea of arresting Don Lemon, who was taken into custody

775
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 2: overnight in Beverly Hills, California. He claims he's a journalist.

776
00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:13,279
Speaker 2: What do you think.

777
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:19,280
Speaker 13: Yeah, well, he was perhaps when he was working for CNN,

778
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:21,239
Speaker 13: but clearly I think what he was doing in this

779
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:24,319
Speaker 13: particular case in Minneapolis was serving as more of an

780
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:27,800
Speaker 13: activist than a journalist, and based on the video footage

781
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 13: that he was recording prior to the incident at city's

782
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:34,320
Speaker 13: church and things that he had said over the course

783
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:38,600
Speaker 13: of the previous weeks and even subsequently, clearly Don Lemon

784
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:42,160
Speaker 13: was not behaving in the way that a typical reporter

785
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:47,880
Speaker 13: might who was embedded with the situation that eventually disrupted

786
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:52,200
Speaker 13: the church service, left children and parents frightened, and really

787
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:55,640
Speaker 13: prevented those who were at church on that morning to

788
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 13: worship Jesus Christ as they intended to do, and so

789
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:01,920
Speaker 13: I'm glad I had to see that the administration is

790
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:04,839
Speaker 13: holding him accountable. We'll ultimately see how this plays out

791
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:06,880
Speaker 13: in a court of law. But let's not forget that

792
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:10,320
Speaker 13: this was a grand jury that approved this indictment. So

793
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:12,840
Speaker 13: it's not that this was just some rogue actor that

794
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:15,600
Speaker 13: decided to go after Don Lemon. No, this actually went

795
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:19,120
Speaker 13: through the legal process as it should have. And so

796
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:22,880
Speaker 13: I know that those on the left and those that

797
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:28,360
Speaker 13: were probably supporters of Don Lemon will react with hysteria

798
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:30,719
Speaker 13: as they so often do. But I'd also like to

799
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:33,800
Speaker 13: point out where were all these voices when Andy No

800
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:36,879
Speaker 13: was arrested, or Steve Baker, or when Joe Biden's White

801
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:39,279
Speaker 13: House kicked the Daily Signal out of the White House

802
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:41,880
Speaker 13: press briefing him in twenty twenty three. Not a peep,

803
00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:44,040
Speaker 13: And so it's such hypocrisy on their part.

804
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:47,759
Speaker 2: That's Rob Bluie. He is the editor in chief of

805
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:51,880
Speaker 2: the Daily Signal, joining us for a little Friday punditry

806
00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:54,880
Speaker 2: and commentary. Rob, we're gonna take a quick break. When

807
00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:57,600
Speaker 2: we come back. I want to shift gears to Venezuela.

808
00:45:57,719 --> 00:46:00,239
Speaker 2: You had a conversation this week with the out of

809
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:03,799
Speaker 2: the opposition Machado in Venezuela. I want to get your

810
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:08,200
Speaker 2: impressions of that conversation. Among other things, I also want

811
00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 2: to talk to you about the tax increases that are

812
00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:13,160
Speaker 2: coming to you as a Virginian thanks to these Democrats

813
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:15,520
Speaker 2: who won the election out there. We are going to

814
00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 2: take a break, and we're going to start with a

815
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:19,640
Speaker 2: word from our friends at Child to Help. I want

816
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:23,440
Speaker 2: to tell you a story about a situation that child

817
00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:27,760
Speaker 2: Help sees all too often. Starts as a game, kids

818
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:30,919
Speaker 2: logging on after school, talking with their friends, having fun.

819
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:34,399
Speaker 2: Then someone else joins in. At first, doesn't feel wrong,

820
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:38,759
Speaker 2: it's just compliments, curious questions, someone paying attention. But over

821
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:42,800
Speaker 2: time the messages get personal, then private, then secret, and

822
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:48,439
Speaker 2: then uncomfortable. This is called online grooming. It doesn't happen

823
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:51,320
Speaker 2: with overt force, but with the building of trust, and

824
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:54,560
Speaker 2: by the time of child realizes that something is wrong,

825
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 2: they get scared. They get too scared to tell their parents,

826
00:46:57,600 --> 00:46:59,399
Speaker 2: Scared they'll be in trouble. They don't want to lose

827
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 2: their device or their friends. And this is where child

828
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:08,640
Speaker 2: Help steps in. Child helps life saving programming focuses on prevention, education, intervention,

829
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:12,880
Speaker 2: and treatment. It helps kids recognize grooming behavior before it

830
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:17,040
Speaker 2: turns into abuse. Child Help is somebody that I support.

831
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:17,719
Speaker 4: I know them.

832
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:22,160
Speaker 2: The truth is every family is vulnerable and your support

833
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:26,480
Speaker 2: makes the programs possible. Just twenty seven dollars can protect

834
00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:30,239
Speaker 2: one child. My advice is text the word child Help

835
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:33,279
Speaker 2: to nine four eight seven eight, give them twenty seven

836
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:36,280
Speaker 2: bucks and save one child. You can also donate online

837
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:40,239
Speaker 2: Childhelp dot org. Slash Scott more with Rob Blue When

838
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:42,080
Speaker 2: we come back, it's Scott Jennings on Salem.

839
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:45,640
Speaker 3: Stay with us, Ready for more common sense Here CNN

840
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:49,799
Speaker 3: senior political commentator, New York Times best selling author at

841
00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:54,440
Speaker 3: America's favorite political pundits, Scott Jennings.

842
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:58,400
Speaker 2: Right age January thirtieth. Track of the news here at

843
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:03,880
Speaker 2: the Scott Shedding Show. This just Venezuela's acting president, Delcei

844
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:09,120
Speaker 2: Rodriguez has signed a law overhauling the nation's oil sector. This,

845
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:12,399
Speaker 2: according to Fox News, that opens the oil sector there

846
00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:17,680
Speaker 2: to privatization. This move reverses a core policy of the

847
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:20,719
Speaker 2: socialist movement that has ruled the country for more than

848
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:23,960
Speaker 2: two decades. My guest is Rob Bluie, host of the

849
00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:27,080
Speaker 2: Daily Signal podcast, Rob what do you make of this

850
00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:31,880
Speaker 2: news of the privatization of the Venezuelan oil sector. And

851
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:34,239
Speaker 2: I want to hear about your conversation you met this

852
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:38,000
Speaker 2: week with Maria Corina Machado, who's the head of the

853
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:40,920
Speaker 2: opposition there in Venezuela. What do you make of the

854
00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:43,960
Speaker 2: situation there now with the oil moves in your convo

855
00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:45,120
Speaker 2: with Machado.

856
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:48,600
Speaker 13: Yeah, Scott, A few things to keep in mind. First

857
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:50,920
Speaker 13: of all, Dela Rodriguez, I think, is trying to do

858
00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:53,840
Speaker 13: everything in her power to remain in power because she

859
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:56,800
Speaker 13: recognizes that President Trump has put some demands on Venezuela.

860
00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:59,640
Speaker 13: So I'm not necessarily surprised to see that she would

861
00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 13: go along with the US plan to open up Venezuela

862
00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:07,880
Speaker 13: to more oil exports. Chevron also came out with record

863
00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:10,839
Speaker 13: earnings today. As I understand it, they're the one US

864
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 13: loyal company that is still operating in Venezuela. A lot

865
00:49:13,719 --> 00:49:15,880
Speaker 13: of those other US companies pulled out because they just

866
00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:18,360
Speaker 13: felt that it was not sustainable to do so, and

867
00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:22,480
Speaker 13: so we'll see ultimately whether or not this current regime

868
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:25,160
Speaker 13: can remain in power. I'll tell you in talking to

869
00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:28,200
Speaker 13: Maria Karina Machado, who is the opposition leader, the Nobel

870
00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:31,200
Speaker 13: Peace Prize winner who gave her medal to President Trump

871
00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:35,560
Speaker 13: quite famously. She says that she wants no power sharing agreement.

872
00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:40,560
Speaker 13: She believes that she is the rightful, democratically elected person

873
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:43,120
Speaker 13: that should lead that country in the future, and that

874
00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:46,560
Speaker 13: is a high hurdle I think to get past the

875
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:49,640
Speaker 13: Trump administration. She was talking to Secretary of State mark

876
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:51,719
Speaker 13: or Rubio this week, and I think that, as you

877
00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:54,520
Speaker 13: heard the President himself say, she might not necessarily have

878
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 13: all the support that he thinks she needs in Venezuela,

879
00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:00,879
Speaker 13: despite the fact that there was wides read corruption.

880
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:01,560
Speaker 4: Under Nicholas Mduro.

881
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:03,640
Speaker 13: So I ultimately don't know how this is going to

882
00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:06,680
Speaker 13: play out, but I think certainly the situation in Venezuela

883
00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:09,560
Speaker 13: is better today than it was before President Trump took action.

884
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:14,000
Speaker 2: Rob does Machado believe that she should be installed right

885
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:16,239
Speaker 2: now as the president or does she believe there should

886
00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:17,080
Speaker 2: be elections first?

887
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:21,560
Speaker 13: Yeah, I think that there has to be an electoral process,

888
00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:24,560
Speaker 13: and I think she recognizes that that that's probably the

889
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:27,920
Speaker 13: best situation and the outcome that would certainly benefit her

890
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:29,120
Speaker 13: and the people of Venezuela.

891
00:50:29,239 --> 00:50:29,600
Speaker 4: The most.

892
00:50:30,320 --> 00:50:34,240
Speaker 13: The problem is like, after operating under this socialist regime

893
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:37,400
Speaker 13: for so long, and with corruption so rampant in the country,

894
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:41,480
Speaker 13: and Maduro having stolen the last election, can you have

895
00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 13: safe and secure elections in the country right now? And

896
00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:46,840
Speaker 13: I think that that's a question. It's hard to answer,

897
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:49,560
Speaker 13: but it's a challenge, Scott, it clearly is.

898
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:54,240
Speaker 2: Rob Let's cut back to domestic politics. I've been thinking

899
00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:58,960
Speaker 2: about these so called affordability Democrats that got elected in November,

900
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:02,920
Speaker 2: Micky Share, Baryl in New Jersey, Spangenberger and Virginia, and

901
00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:06,879
Speaker 2: Mom Donnie in New York City. This week, all three

902
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:09,480
Speaker 2: of them did things that had literally nothing to do

903
00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:12,120
Speaker 2: with affordability. I want to start in Virginia, in fact,

904
00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:16,960
Speaker 2: the opposite of affordability, where the Virginia Democrats, who swept

905
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:19,480
Speaker 2: all the offices and now control the legislature as well,

906
00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:25,480
Speaker 2: have unveiled this long list of tax increases they plan

907
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:28,080
Speaker 2: to inflict upon the people of Virginia. You live out there,

908
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:31,560
Speaker 2: I think, Aret, I mean, is this the biggest bait

909
00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:34,719
Speaker 2: and switch of all time? Or you know, should people

910
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:37,200
Speaker 2: have known, like, look, of course they're going to raise

911
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:39,360
Speaker 2: your taxes they're Democrats. How you taking the news of

912
00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:41,239
Speaker 2: having all your let's say, they're going to raise tax

913
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:46,360
Speaker 2: on leaf blowers, amazon deliveries. I think even fantasy sports leagues,

914
00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:48,280
Speaker 2: like everything's getting taxed in Virginia.

915
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:53,439
Speaker 13: I'm sorry, yeah, dog grooming and dog walkers. I mean, Mike,

916
00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:57,760
Speaker 13: every list. I think it was fifty. There were fifty

917
00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:00,080
Speaker 13: things on that list. The Democrats have introduced bills to

918
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:02,360
Speaker 13: raise taxes on, including the local sales tax, which is

919
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:03,280
Speaker 13: going to affect everyone.

920
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:03,720
Speaker 4: Obviously.

921
00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:06,520
Speaker 13: Look, I'm not surprised, and I don't think anybody who

922
00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 13: was probably listening to your show or reading the Daily

923
00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:12,520
Speaker 13: Signal will be surprised by this news. We knew that

924
00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:16,120
Speaker 13: Abigail Spanberger would say one thing in front of the

925
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:18,880
Speaker 13: cameras and on the debate stage and do something completely

926
00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:22,360
Speaker 13: different as governor. Quite frankly, that's how she's That was

927
00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:24,440
Speaker 13: her reputation in the US House of Representative. She was

928
00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:26,759
Speaker 13: always portrayed as this moderate, despite the fact that her

929
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:29,520
Speaker 13: voting record was to the far left and so yes,

930
00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:32,600
Speaker 13: it's quite ironic that they would run on the issue

931
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:35,480
Speaker 13: of affordability and now be in a situation where they're

932
00:52:35,480 --> 00:52:38,000
Speaker 13: proposing all of these tax increases, and Scott, one other

933
00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:40,320
Speaker 13: important thing that's not included on that list of fifty

934
00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:43,760
Speaker 13: tax increases is her decision to re enter this regional

935
00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:47,040
Speaker 13: greenhouse gas initiative, which was basically this cap and trade

936
00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:49,440
Speaker 13: type of system, which is just going to jack up

937
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:53,920
Speaker 13: electricity prices for Virginia residents. And Virginia is already dealing

938
00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:57,160
Speaker 13: with significant electricity to me because it's the number one

939
00:52:57,200 --> 00:52:58,240
Speaker 13: state for data centers.

940
00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:01,759
Speaker 2: Unbelievable. Yeah, everything they're doing over there, well, I guess

941
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:03,840
Speaker 2: the folks in Virginia, you get what you vote for.

942
00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:06,480
Speaker 2: They'll learn, they'll learn that they have voted for something

943
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:09,040
Speaker 2: very terrible, as they will in New Jersey, as they

944
00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:11,920
Speaker 2: will in New York City. Rob Lewie with a daily signal,

945
00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:13,840
Speaker 2: Thanks for coming by. We'll see you again here in

946
00:53:13,880 --> 00:53:15,960
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks. We'll take a break and when

947
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:18,719
Speaker 2: we come back, I'm so glad to have this conversation

948
00:53:18,880 --> 00:53:22,120
Speaker 2: with my friend, the officer, Brandon Tatum is here. It's

949
00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:24,840
Speaker 2: common sense, stay with us, the very definition.

950
00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:28,400
Speaker 3: I've never backed down here. Scott Jennings.

951
00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:33,400
Speaker 2: Friday, January thirtieth, It's casual Friday here in the New

952
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:38,000
Speaker 2: York Studio, Scott Jennings, common sense for the American people.

953
00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:42,919
Speaker 2: It's time for Friday Punditry and my guests this week.

954
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:47,520
Speaker 2: I'm so excited about this conversation my buddy, former college

955
00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:53,319
Speaker 2: football player, former police officer, and now I think one

956
00:53:53,400 --> 00:53:58,680
Speaker 2: of the most interesting and best content creators in the

957
00:53:58,760 --> 00:54:02,319
Speaker 2: conservative movement as the host of the Officer Tatum Show,

958
00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:07,600
Speaker 2: Ladies and Gentlemen, for one and only, Brandon Tatum here

959
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:09,879
Speaker 2: on the Scott Jennings Show. Brandon, my man.

960
00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:13,720
Speaker 4: Good to see you, sir, Well Scott Jennings. I feel

961
00:54:14,840 --> 00:54:17,600
Speaker 4: kind of weird because I'm over here blessing of another

962
00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:21,040
Speaker 4: man speaking well of me, So I do appreciate it, Scott.

963
00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:23,440
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna lie. Coming from you means more than

964
00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:26,320
Speaker 4: just about anybody in the world, and I really appreciate

965
00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:28,120
Speaker 4: all the kai words and I'm honored to be a

966
00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:28,839
Speaker 4: part of your show.

967
00:54:29,640 --> 00:54:32,439
Speaker 2: Well, I appreciate you, my friend, and the friendship we've

968
00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:34,560
Speaker 2: struck up has been very special to me. And it's

969
00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:36,440
Speaker 2: been nice to visit you a couple of times at

970
00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:41,320
Speaker 2: your headquarters out there in Arizona. And your take I

971
00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:45,080
Speaker 2: think on what's going on in the world is so refreshing.

972
00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:48,600
Speaker 2: It's a very real world, a very common sense approach,

973
00:54:48,680 --> 00:54:50,719
Speaker 2: and there's no wonder why people are attracted to it.

974
00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:53,240
Speaker 2: The way you do it, the way you present yourself.

975
00:54:53,280 --> 00:54:56,759
Speaker 2: It's very well done, and your voice, I think has

976
00:54:56,840 --> 00:55:00,160
Speaker 2: just become so important on the American right, and I

977
00:55:00,239 --> 00:55:02,160
Speaker 2: want to get your thoughts on some things going on

978
00:55:02,280 --> 00:55:05,440
Speaker 2: in the news that are really specific. I think to

979
00:55:05,800 --> 00:55:09,120
Speaker 2: your background, you are a police officer in Tucson, Arizona,

980
00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:13,520
Speaker 2: before you got into your current job and profession as

981
00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:16,719
Speaker 2: being a commentator on the right and right now in

982
00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:19,080
Speaker 2: the news, Brandon, we have a bunch of people in

983
00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:24,840
Speaker 2: this country who are inciting violence and worse against federal

984
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:29,319
Speaker 2: and I think also local law enforcement. When you watch

985
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:31,920
Speaker 2: what's going on in Minneapolis, when you hear these Democratic

986
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:38,400
Speaker 2: officials calling cops Gestapo, calling them the Nazis, or worse,

987
00:55:38,480 --> 00:55:40,920
Speaker 2: when you see these radical agitators in the street. As

988
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:43,759
Speaker 2: someone who wore the uniform, how does all this strike you?

989
00:55:45,520 --> 00:55:50,960
Speaker 4: Well, it's incredibly frustrating and it's perplexing. I cannot understand

990
00:55:51,040 --> 00:55:54,440
Speaker 4: for the life of me, how grown adults are sitting

991
00:55:54,480 --> 00:55:59,440
Speaker 4: here advocating for violence or even watching it unfold and

992
00:55:59,560 --> 00:56:05,480
Speaker 4: not you challenging it when they didn't do nothing when

993
00:56:05,640 --> 00:56:08,239
Speaker 4: ICE in Border Patrol was doing the same type of

994
00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:12,799
Speaker 4: a thing under another administration. I cannot believe grown people

995
00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:17,000
Speaker 4: are crying on television, scut crying as if they're just

996
00:56:17,280 --> 00:56:21,200
Speaker 4: so perplexed that our government has actually following the laws

997
00:56:21,239 --> 00:56:24,839
Speaker 4: in which we voted for. It's mind blowing. I don't

998
00:56:24,920 --> 00:56:30,200
Speaker 4: know if they're evil or stupid or both. Is perplexing

999
00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:33,319
Speaker 4: to me, and it is frustrating because they act as

1000
00:56:33,400 --> 00:56:35,840
Speaker 4: if the men and women who wear the uniform on

1001
00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:38,520
Speaker 4: the Border Patrol or ICE or even local law enforcement

1002
00:56:38,800 --> 00:56:42,360
Speaker 4: are not also Americans are not also patriots do not

1003
00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:44,759
Speaker 4: also believe in the First Amendment, and it's sworn to

1004
00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:47,680
Speaker 4: project and serve with their lives and uphold the Constitution.

1005
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:51,120
Speaker 4: I don't know where they're getting their reason from, but

1006
00:56:51,239 --> 00:56:53,759
Speaker 4: it's a shame that they're doing law enforcement and many

1007
00:56:53,840 --> 00:56:55,640
Speaker 4: women who are serving with their lives this way.

1008
00:56:56,800 --> 00:56:59,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, I totally agree with you. I want to ask

1009
00:56:59,480 --> 00:57:02,120
Speaker 2: when you were an officer in Tucson, what kind of

1010
00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:06,160
Speaker 2: interactions did you have with ICE and also what kind

1011
00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:09,359
Speaker 2: of enforcement interactions did you have with illegal immigrants because

1012
00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:12,319
Speaker 2: I assume they're in Tucson, it was fairly common being

1013
00:57:12,360 --> 00:57:14,839
Speaker 2: close to the border. Give us a little perspective as

1014
00:57:14,840 --> 00:57:18,720
Speaker 2: a former officer about what these law enforcement personnel are

1015
00:57:18,800 --> 00:57:22,480
Speaker 2: going through as they're simply trying to enforce existing federal

1016
00:57:22,520 --> 00:57:23,280
Speaker 2: immigration law.

1017
00:57:24,760 --> 00:57:27,440
Speaker 4: Well, Scott, when I was a cop, it was very different.

1018
00:57:27,640 --> 00:57:29,840
Speaker 4: Like Chief Via Sennor, who was the chief of the

1019
00:57:29,880 --> 00:57:32,640
Speaker 4: Tucson Police Department at the time, we worked together with

1020
00:57:32,760 --> 00:57:36,560
Speaker 4: Border Patrol and ICE to get criminals off the streets.

1021
00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:40,280
Speaker 4: It was very simple. They had the s SB ten

1022
00:57:40,400 --> 00:57:43,040
Speaker 4: seventy checks and that means that if we encountered a

1023
00:57:43,080 --> 00:57:45,280
Speaker 4: person who admitted that they were legally in this country,

1024
00:57:45,600 --> 00:57:47,920
Speaker 4: or they spoke Spanish or could not speak any English,

1025
00:57:47,960 --> 00:57:52,920
Speaker 4: that had no documentation, we had the ability to contact

1026
00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:55,840
Speaker 4: Border Patrol or ICE and they'll run a check and

1027
00:57:55,880 --> 00:57:57,520
Speaker 4: see if that person is someone that they want to

1028
00:57:57,520 --> 00:57:59,800
Speaker 4: talk to. That's it. And if the person were to

1029
00:57:59,840 --> 00:58:03,240
Speaker 4: get arrested for a municipal crime or crime that was

1030
00:58:03,280 --> 00:58:05,960
Speaker 4: prosecuted by the state, not the federal government, we will

1031
00:58:06,040 --> 00:58:08,760
Speaker 4: take them to the jail and put an ICE hold

1032
00:58:08,880 --> 00:58:11,600
Speaker 4: on them, which means they will remain there until their

1033
00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:14,760
Speaker 4: identity could be verified. So that we made sure this

1034
00:58:14,960 --> 00:58:17,360
Speaker 4: is not a fugitive or somebody wanted for murder somewhere.

1035
00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:21,480
Speaker 4: We had a easy going relationship. We are also law

1036
00:58:21,560 --> 00:58:25,400
Speaker 4: enforcement agency or law enforcement officers, even at the municipal level.

1037
00:58:25,720 --> 00:58:28,720
Speaker 4: We don't stop being stopping force on the law because

1038
00:58:28,760 --> 00:58:33,960
Speaker 4: somebody's illegal alien. We work together with Border Patrol, and

1039
00:58:34,680 --> 00:58:37,200
Speaker 4: it bothers me that, well, I'll put it this way,

1040
00:58:38,360 --> 00:58:41,480
Speaker 4: their ice and Border Patrol are deployed all over the country.

1041
00:58:42,240 --> 00:58:44,760
Speaker 4: We have no issues in ninety nine percent of the situation.

1042
00:58:44,960 --> 00:58:48,560
Speaker 4: So other jurisdictions are working with them in a very

1043
00:58:48,640 --> 00:58:52,960
Speaker 4: reasonable and practical way. It's just Minnesota in these sanctuary

1044
00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:57,040
Speaker 4: cities that do not want enforcement of federal law to

1045
00:58:57,160 --> 00:58:59,920
Speaker 4: go on at all. They want illegal aliens to be

1046
00:59:00,080 --> 00:59:01,560
Speaker 4: had to do whatever they want to do, use as

1047
00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:05,480
Speaker 4: much taxpayer dollar, and ultimately be a future voter that

1048
00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:08,000
Speaker 4: they wish that they can lock in with amnesty. And

1049
00:59:08,080 --> 00:59:11,040
Speaker 4: so it's not even about the enforcement perspective. But we

1050
00:59:11,240 --> 00:59:13,880
Speaker 4: work with Bordertrol all the time being a border state,

1051
00:59:14,120 --> 00:59:16,120
Speaker 4: and it was a great working relationship. And I'll at

1052
00:59:16,160 --> 00:59:19,680
Speaker 4: this one thing, Scott is that we knew and Chief Vilsen,

1053
00:59:19,720 --> 00:59:22,880
Speaker 4: you're new that it's better that we get the people

1054
00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:25,160
Speaker 4: off the streets when we first make contact with them

1055
00:59:25,360 --> 00:59:28,080
Speaker 4: or when they get to the jail, so that ICE

1056
00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:31,400
Speaker 4: doesn't have to come into the community and interfere with

1057
00:59:31,560 --> 00:59:33,440
Speaker 4: the day to day work that we're trying to do

1058
00:59:33,960 --> 00:59:35,680
Speaker 4: as municipal law enforcement officers.

1059
00:59:36,560 --> 00:59:39,280
Speaker 2: Well, what you just said is the critical issue. You

1060
00:59:39,360 --> 00:59:41,640
Speaker 2: can either have cooperation in the jail or you got

1061
00:59:41,720 --> 00:59:43,680
Speaker 2: to go get them in the community. And that's the

1062
00:59:43,760 --> 00:59:46,480
Speaker 2: real problem in Minneapolis. There's no cooperation, so you got

1063
00:59:46,560 --> 00:59:49,360
Speaker 2: to chase them down on the streets, which requires a

1064
00:59:49,440 --> 00:59:51,880
Speaker 2: lot more manpower. I want to play for you a

1065
00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:55,520
Speaker 2: clip of the mayor of Minneapolis. His name is Jacob Frye.

1066
00:59:55,640 --> 00:59:59,200
Speaker 2: He's an honorary Somali pirate. Let's play cut too about

1067
00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:00,800
Speaker 2: the fact he won't cooperate.

1068
01:00:00,880 --> 01:00:05,280
Speaker 15: Here's fry define your definition, mister mayor, of what a

1069
01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:10,000
Speaker 15: sanctuary city is and how you feel about sanctuary cities

1070
01:00:10,080 --> 01:00:11,240
Speaker 15: existing in this nation.

1071
01:00:12,360 --> 01:00:16,480
Speaker 16: Well, there's this terminology around sanctuary city. Put that aside

1072
01:00:16,520 --> 01:00:18,640
Speaker 16: for a second. I'll tell you what we've got in Minneapolis.

1073
01:00:19,320 --> 01:00:23,080
Speaker 16: What we have is something called a separation ordinance. And

1074
01:00:23,200 --> 01:00:28,240
Speaker 16: what the separation ordinance says is that we do not

1075
01:00:28,680 --> 01:00:33,720
Speaker 16: enforce federal immigration law. We do not have our police officers,

1076
01:00:33,880 --> 01:00:39,160
Speaker 16: our public officials working with any federal agency on federal

1077
01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:40,880
Speaker 16: enforcement of immigration law.

1078
01:00:42,920 --> 01:00:45,200
Speaker 2: Randon. It sounds to me like the mayor of Minneapolis

1079
01:00:45,320 --> 01:00:49,240
Speaker 2: is perfectly fine if violent criminal illegal aliens, some of

1080
01:00:49,280 --> 01:00:53,440
Speaker 2: the worst of the worst, drug traffickers, murderers, rapists, pedophiles,

1081
01:00:53,600 --> 01:00:57,800
Speaker 2: gangbangers are roaming the streets of Minneapolis. It sounds crazy to.

1082
01:00:57,840 --> 01:01:04,480
Speaker 4: Me, Scott. That's exactly what he's saying. He's also conflating

1083
01:01:05,160 --> 01:01:09,600
Speaker 4: and trying to gas like the public. No local state

1084
01:01:09,920 --> 01:01:13,760
Speaker 4: law enforcement officer has the jurisdiction to enforce federal law

1085
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:16,560
Speaker 4: that's not even on the books. He says, we're not

1086
01:01:16,680 --> 01:01:20,000
Speaker 4: going to cooperate. There is no necessity to cooperate with

1087
01:01:20,600 --> 01:01:24,000
Speaker 4: federal agents in their enforcement. But when you encounter a

1088
01:01:24,080 --> 01:01:26,600
Speaker 4: person who committed a felony crime and they're legally in

1089
01:01:26,680 --> 01:01:29,280
Speaker 4: this country, they're not asking you to prosecute them on

1090
01:01:29,360 --> 01:01:32,000
Speaker 4: a federal level. All they're doing is saying, hey, can

1091
01:01:32,040 --> 01:01:35,040
Speaker 4: you notify us that you've captured a guy who's an

1092
01:01:35,160 --> 01:01:37,960
Speaker 4: MS thirteen game member that's an illegal alien in his country,

1093
01:01:38,360 --> 01:01:40,400
Speaker 4: or when you take him to the jail, can you

1094
01:01:40,400 --> 01:01:42,200
Speaker 4: at least notify us that he's in the jailsuent we

1095
01:01:42,240 --> 01:01:46,400
Speaker 4: could come get him. He's lying. They're conflating. We never

1096
01:01:46,680 --> 01:01:50,040
Speaker 4: enforce federal law. That's not our jurisdiction or our expectation,

1097
01:01:50,400 --> 01:01:52,880
Speaker 4: but that does not mean that we cannot work with them.

1098
01:01:53,480 --> 01:01:55,880
Speaker 4: The crazy thing is you see a murderer running down

1099
01:01:55,880 --> 01:01:59,280
Speaker 4: the street and you go, well, he murdered somebody in

1100
01:01:59,320 --> 01:02:03,280
Speaker 4: another jurisdy, which means across state lines. That makes it

1101
01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:06,520
Speaker 4: a federal crime, and the US marshals typically will go

1102
01:02:06,600 --> 01:02:08,720
Speaker 4: and get that person. But if I'm a cop and

1103
01:02:08,800 --> 01:02:11,680
Speaker 4: I see the guy, am I gonna say, well, that's

1104
01:02:11,720 --> 01:02:14,440
Speaker 4: the US marshal's job because he committed a crime in

1105
01:02:14,480 --> 01:02:17,360
Speaker 4: another state which I don't have jurisdiction over. No law

1106
01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:21,160
Speaker 4: enforcement officer would do that, even as a man. If

1107
01:02:21,200 --> 01:02:23,200
Speaker 4: I was on my porch and I saw a man

1108
01:02:23,240 --> 01:02:25,920
Speaker 4: who abused the child come running down the street, and

1109
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:27,880
Speaker 4: I go, well, I'm not a cop, so I'm not

1110
01:02:27,960 --> 01:02:31,160
Speaker 4: going to get involved. That's how silly he sound. These

1111
01:02:31,240 --> 01:02:35,920
Speaker 4: people are not mom and pop working at the swap

1112
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:38,960
Speaker 4: meet or something and they're going and finding them. These

1113
01:02:39,080 --> 01:02:43,080
Speaker 4: are hardened criminals who have committed crimes against people in

1114
01:02:43,160 --> 01:02:45,640
Speaker 4: the United States of America, which is why we know

1115
01:02:45,840 --> 01:02:49,160
Speaker 4: they exist. If you are illegal alien in this country

1116
01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:52,360
Speaker 4: and you're not doing anything criminal and we won't even

1117
01:02:52,400 --> 01:02:54,520
Speaker 4: really know you exist, you're kind of flying under the radar.

1118
01:02:54,960 --> 01:02:57,120
Speaker 4: It's the people that go out and they commit feling

1119
01:02:57,160 --> 01:03:00,520
Speaker 4: the crimes, or they commit feeling the crimes in other countries,

1120
01:03:00,800 --> 01:03:03,800
Speaker 4: and the people of that original country want them back

1121
01:03:04,200 --> 01:03:08,880
Speaker 4: for prosecution. That's how ICE gets the information, brings it

1122
01:03:08,920 --> 01:03:11,960
Speaker 4: before a judge, they sign an arrest warrant, and they

1123
01:03:12,040 --> 01:03:14,680
Speaker 4: go and execute a lawful arrest warrant. This is what

1124
01:03:14,800 --> 01:03:19,120
Speaker 4: we see ICE trying to do. But these weirdos that

1125
01:03:19,360 --> 01:03:23,080
Speaker 4: literally want lawlesses in their city. It's saying we won't

1126
01:03:23,120 --> 01:03:25,600
Speaker 4: help you at all, and we want crime to be rampant.

1127
01:03:26,840 --> 01:03:29,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's I don't understand the politics of this, but

1128
01:03:29,960 --> 01:03:33,800
Speaker 2: it's it's what this radical democratic base obviously wants. Right now,

1129
01:03:34,600 --> 01:03:38,440
Speaker 2: our guest today is the officer Brandon Tatum. Brandon, I

1130
01:03:38,600 --> 01:03:41,000
Speaker 2: know you have thoughts on this, so I'm just going

1131
01:03:41,080 --> 01:03:45,520
Speaker 2: to tee it up. Don Lemon, former CNN anchor, has

1132
01:03:45,600 --> 01:03:48,479
Speaker 2: been arrested by the FEDS for busting into a church

1133
01:03:48,520 --> 01:03:52,560
Speaker 2: a couple of Sundays ago, violating people's civil rights there,

1134
01:03:52,680 --> 01:03:55,240
Speaker 2: violating the Federal Face Act. When you heard Don Lemon

1135
01:03:55,320 --> 01:03:57,560
Speaker 2: had gotten arrested when you woke up this morning, what

1136
01:03:57,680 --> 01:03:58,160
Speaker 2: did you think.

1137
01:03:59,680 --> 01:04:02,320
Speaker 4: Well, first of all, this is probably the most exciting

1138
01:04:02,360 --> 01:04:05,040
Speaker 4: morning I've ever heard in my life, watching this weirdo

1139
01:04:05,520 --> 01:04:07,520
Speaker 4: get arrested for things he should have been arrested for.

1140
01:04:07,680 --> 01:04:10,880
Speaker 4: And his arrogance is what got him in my personal opinion,

1141
01:04:11,280 --> 01:04:13,760
Speaker 4: so I'm glad to see him go to jail. I'm

1142
01:04:13,800 --> 01:04:15,560
Speaker 4: glad to see or at least get arrested. I don't

1143
01:04:15,560 --> 01:04:17,000
Speaker 4: know what they're going to do as far as charging,

1144
01:04:17,320 --> 01:04:20,880
Speaker 4: but this guy is a flat out idiot, and his

1145
01:04:21,240 --> 01:04:24,520
Speaker 4: arrogance is what caused him to go to jail. Because

1146
01:04:24,560 --> 01:04:26,800
Speaker 4: if he was a real journalist, he would have stood

1147
01:04:26,840 --> 01:04:31,680
Speaker 4: outside and interview people outside as they leave the church. Instead,

1148
01:04:32,120 --> 01:04:37,560
Speaker 4: he premeditated on camera by joining the protests with four

1149
01:04:37,680 --> 01:04:40,280
Speaker 4: knowledge that they were going to go and disrupt a church,

1150
01:04:41,040 --> 01:04:44,080
Speaker 4: and he goes in with them and challenges the pastor.

1151
01:04:44,640 --> 01:04:48,120
Speaker 4: He didn't ask him a question, he challenged him and

1152
01:04:48,440 --> 01:04:53,440
Speaker 4: critique him and chastise him. That's not journalism. And then

1153
01:04:53,680 --> 01:04:57,440
Speaker 4: when he's asked to leave at least if you're a journalist,

1154
01:04:57,520 --> 01:05:01,000
Speaker 4: you would study law. If you go into a building,

1155
01:05:01,760 --> 01:05:04,200
Speaker 4: it doesn't matter if you're a journalist or not. If

1156
01:05:04,240 --> 01:05:06,919
Speaker 4: it's a private facility and they ask you to leave,

1157
01:05:06,960 --> 01:05:09,440
Speaker 4: which is a reasonable request to leave, you have to

1158
01:05:09,680 --> 01:05:12,400
Speaker 4: or you are committing a crime. If you are a

1159
01:05:12,480 --> 01:05:16,800
Speaker 4: part of disorderly conduct and you are knowingly and intentionally

1160
01:05:16,840 --> 01:05:18,760
Speaker 4: being a part of that, that is a crime. But

1161
01:05:19,000 --> 01:05:23,200
Speaker 4: he goes even further because these people intentionally attacked a

1162
01:05:23,440 --> 01:05:25,320
Speaker 4: church and he knew about it, and this is the

1163
01:05:25,360 --> 01:05:27,640
Speaker 4: reason why he got charged with some of the charges

1164
01:05:27,680 --> 01:05:30,800
Speaker 4: that he did conspiracy to the private rights and also

1165
01:05:30,880 --> 01:05:34,040
Speaker 4: the violation of the Face Act. And I'm glad that

1166
01:05:34,120 --> 01:05:37,960
Speaker 4: they're taking this stuff seriously because it's not right to

1167
01:05:38,080 --> 01:05:40,680
Speaker 4: do this at any religious facility. I don't care if

1168
01:05:40,720 --> 01:05:43,520
Speaker 4: it was a mosque. You don't do this at someone's

1169
01:05:43,560 --> 01:05:45,400
Speaker 4: place of worship. It's not right.

1170
01:05:46,320 --> 01:05:48,880
Speaker 2: One good rule of being a criminal. Don't film your

1171
01:05:48,960 --> 01:05:50,960
Speaker 2: crimes and then put them out on the internet is

1172
01:05:51,040 --> 01:05:54,520
Speaker 2: one possible rule. That's Brandon Tatum as our guest. We're

1173
01:05:54,520 --> 01:05:56,520
Speaker 2: gonna have more with Brandon when we come back. First,

1174
01:05:56,560 --> 01:05:58,920
Speaker 2: a quick word from our friends. That relief factor I

1175
01:05:58,960 --> 01:06:01,240
Speaker 2: want to share a quick story from our buddy Rod

1176
01:06:01,400 --> 01:06:03,920
Speaker 2: in Texas. He sent us a letter and said, I'm

1177
01:06:03,960 --> 01:06:06,480
Speaker 2: sixty four. I used to build houses. Years of hard

1178
01:06:06,560 --> 01:06:10,840
Speaker 2: physical work left me with excruciating back pain. It was unbearable.

1179
01:06:10,880 --> 01:06:14,480
Speaker 2: I finally gave Relief Factor a try. Within four days,

1180
01:06:14,720 --> 01:06:17,560
Speaker 2: most of that pain had subsided. Over the next few weeks,

1181
01:06:18,160 --> 01:06:22,680
Speaker 2: it is continuing to improve. Being pain free is indescribable.

1182
01:06:22,760 --> 01:06:26,040
Speaker 2: That's what Rod from Texas has to say. I think

1183
01:06:26,160 --> 01:06:30,680
Speaker 2: you would find a similar experience if you tried Relief

1184
01:06:30,760 --> 01:06:34,440
Speaker 2: Factors three week quick start. See how it works for you.

1185
01:06:34,680 --> 01:06:37,720
Speaker 2: Call one eight hundred and four Relief or go to

1186
01:06:37,880 --> 01:06:40,800
Speaker 2: relief factor dot Com. Ask yourself, how would it feel

1187
01:06:40,880 --> 01:06:43,400
Speaker 2: to be out of pain? You might get the answer

1188
01:06:43,520 --> 01:06:48,160
Speaker 2: if you try relief Factor more. With the officer Brandon Tatum,

1189
01:06:48,360 --> 01:06:50,320
Speaker 2: we'll ask him who won the week. When we come back.

1190
01:06:50,360 --> 01:06:51,760
Speaker 2: It's Scott Jennings on Salem.

1191
01:06:52,040 --> 01:06:55,200
Speaker 3: Stay with us, ready for some common sense and a

1192
01:06:55,320 --> 01:06:59,000
Speaker 3: little Kentucky Wendage. Hears Scott Jennings.

1193
01:06:59,360 --> 01:07:03,440
Speaker 2: Friday, January thirtieth, Home Stretch and the conversation today with

1194
01:07:03,600 --> 01:07:08,280
Speaker 2: my friend the Officer Brandon Tatum is here. Brandon, one

1195
01:07:08,320 --> 01:07:11,080
Speaker 2: of the things I admire about what you're doing is

1196
01:07:11,280 --> 01:07:13,360
Speaker 2: not just the content that you're creating, but you have

1197
01:07:13,480 --> 01:07:18,840
Speaker 2: a whole ethos of entrepreneurialship in your building there. When

1198
01:07:18,880 --> 01:07:21,440
Speaker 2: I visited you, you guys have got you know. I

1199
01:07:21,520 --> 01:07:23,520
Speaker 2: know people see the podcast and they see the content

1200
01:07:23,600 --> 01:07:26,120
Speaker 2: you're creating, but there's all kinds of stuff going on

1201
01:07:26,320 --> 01:07:29,320
Speaker 2: in the Brandon Tatum world. You've got energy drink that

1202
01:07:29,400 --> 01:07:33,320
Speaker 2: you're promoting. You started a company called Black Line Security Operations.

1203
01:07:33,800 --> 01:07:35,600
Speaker 2: Tell me a little bit about the business side of

1204
01:07:35,640 --> 01:07:37,680
Speaker 2: Brandon Tatum and what you have going on out there

1205
01:07:37,720 --> 01:07:38,400
Speaker 2: in Scottsdale.

1206
01:07:40,040 --> 01:07:42,600
Speaker 4: Well, thank you Scott for asking a question. I mean,

1207
01:07:42,800 --> 01:07:46,200
Speaker 4: I am consider myself to be a serial entrepreneur. You know,

1208
01:07:46,480 --> 01:07:50,280
Speaker 4: when God created man, he created us in image and likeness,

1209
01:07:50,320 --> 01:07:53,880
Speaker 4: and I believe that us being creators and visionaries and

1210
01:07:53,880 --> 01:07:55,840
Speaker 4: stuff is all a part of God's creation for us.

1211
01:07:56,360 --> 01:07:58,080
Speaker 4: And so when I look at business, I look at

1212
01:07:58,080 --> 01:08:00,560
Speaker 4: the business the same way. Whatever I can imagine that

1213
01:08:00,800 --> 01:08:03,320
Speaker 4: I think can benefit people and change the world, I

1214
01:08:03,400 --> 01:08:05,600
Speaker 4: want to get involved and do it. And so we

1215
01:08:05,760 --> 01:08:08,760
Speaker 4: do tons of different things here, like we literally got

1216
01:08:09,040 --> 01:08:11,760
Speaker 4: an energy drink, a sleep drink. All of our staff

1217
01:08:11,880 --> 01:08:15,160
Speaker 4: uses it. We have a bourbon company that we just

1218
01:08:15,200 --> 01:08:19,360
Speaker 4: started called Verdict Bourbon. I have a security company. We

1219
01:08:19,520 --> 01:08:21,799
Speaker 4: have a non profit that's associated with the security company.

1220
01:08:22,120 --> 01:08:25,000
Speaker 4: I have a print shop and a distribution center, and

1221
01:08:25,240 --> 01:08:27,920
Speaker 4: all of those things are what I would consider to

1222
01:08:27,960 --> 01:08:32,280
Speaker 4: be passion projects for me. That gives me the ability

1223
01:08:32,439 --> 01:08:40,080
Speaker 4: to control I could say, fair, affordable products and services

1224
01:08:40,120 --> 01:08:44,080
Speaker 4: for conservatives and people who are reasonable. And I'm just

1225
01:08:44,160 --> 01:08:46,320
Speaker 4: blessed to be able to do it. And so I

1226
01:08:46,400 --> 01:08:48,560
Speaker 4: appreciate you, you know, throwing it out there, because I

1227
01:08:48,680 --> 01:08:51,800
Speaker 4: do more than just talk. I do a lot of

1228
01:08:52,040 --> 01:08:54,800
Speaker 4: business leadership and I own a couple of companies as well.

1229
01:08:55,439 --> 01:08:58,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, when I met with you out in your headquarters,

1230
01:08:58,080 --> 01:09:00,599
Speaker 2: I was so impressed and amazed by you, but also

1231
01:09:00,640 --> 01:09:02,960
Speaker 2: by your team. You get all these folks working for

1232
01:09:03,080 --> 01:09:05,560
Speaker 2: you out there doing different aspects of your businesses. It

1233
01:09:05,680 --> 01:09:09,479
Speaker 2: was a really impressive operation. So I appreciate you sharing

1234
01:09:09,560 --> 01:09:11,760
Speaker 2: a little bit about that with us. Brandon, you are

1235
01:09:11,800 --> 01:09:14,000
Speaker 2: a pundit of the week, and it is tradition here

1236
01:09:14,080 --> 01:09:16,960
Speaker 2: on Friday Punditry that we ask our pundit of the

1237
01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:21,120
Speaker 2: week to tell us who won the week in America,

1238
01:09:21,640 --> 01:09:25,280
Speaker 2: American politics or American culture in general. So Brandon Tatum,

1239
01:09:25,600 --> 01:09:26,880
Speaker 2: who won this week?

1240
01:09:28,640 --> 01:09:30,960
Speaker 4: Well, it took a while for me to think of

1241
01:09:31,040 --> 01:09:34,640
Speaker 4: this person. I think this person is probably one of

1242
01:09:34,720 --> 01:09:37,000
Speaker 4: the greatest people that I've seen in the last I

1243
01:09:37,040 --> 01:09:40,720
Speaker 4: don't know, several years. And that is the one and

1244
01:09:40,840 --> 01:09:46,320
Speaker 4: only Scott Jennings. You are, I'm telling you about. See.

1245
01:09:46,400 --> 01:09:49,840
Speaker 4: I looked, and I'm unbiased. I looked and I said,

1246
01:09:50,240 --> 01:09:53,479
Speaker 4: who won the week? And I see you every single

1247
01:09:53,720 --> 01:09:57,160
Speaker 4: day on there doing the Lord's work. I do not

1248
01:09:57,439 --> 01:10:00,640
Speaker 4: know how you do it, Scott, listening to these lunatics

1249
01:10:00,720 --> 01:10:02,920
Speaker 4: and I'm saying it not you. They're great people to you,

1250
01:10:03,240 --> 01:10:08,160
Speaker 4: they're lunatics to me. I saw Anna Navarro, I think

1251
01:10:08,240 --> 01:10:10,519
Speaker 4: she was on the show when she said that Alex

1252
01:10:11,439 --> 01:10:14,760
Speaker 4: pretty was somebody that hurt you want to marry your daughter,

1253
01:10:15,160 --> 01:10:18,040
Speaker 4: and that she's he's a role model for everybody. I

1254
01:10:18,160 --> 01:10:20,920
Speaker 4: could not believe it. I could not believe that people

1255
01:10:21,000 --> 01:10:22,880
Speaker 4: get on there and say that. But I'm telling you, Scott,

1256
01:10:23,960 --> 01:10:28,240
Speaker 4: if you weren't there not only giving the truth and

1257
01:10:28,320 --> 01:10:31,280
Speaker 4: the voice of reason, but you do it with decorum, professionalism,

1258
01:10:31,800 --> 01:10:35,400
Speaker 4: and with and with humility, we would we would our

1259
01:10:35,479 --> 01:10:39,479
Speaker 4: country be dead. I mean they with no impunity. They

1260
01:10:39,800 --> 01:10:42,200
Speaker 4: literally get on there and say the wildest and craziest

1261
01:10:42,280 --> 01:10:44,240
Speaker 4: and nonsensical things that I've ever heard of my life.

1262
01:10:44,400 --> 01:10:46,240
Speaker 4: And it's always come back to you where you go.

1263
01:10:48,439 --> 01:10:50,600
Speaker 4: I don't know what we what you guys are talking about, Like,

1264
01:10:51,080 --> 01:10:54,960
Speaker 4: here's the reality and common sense. So, without butting your

1265
01:10:55,000 --> 01:10:57,479
Speaker 4: toes too much, I think Scott Jenny's you are you

1266
01:10:57,600 --> 01:10:59,360
Speaker 4: know you are the winner of the week.

1267
01:11:00,080 --> 01:11:02,479
Speaker 2: All right, well you're you're officially invited back for every

1268
01:11:02,520 --> 01:11:06,160
Speaker 2: Friday for Friday punishe Brandon. I appreciate that. So you

1269
01:11:06,320 --> 01:11:08,360
Speaker 2: picked the winner. It's my job to pick the loser.

1270
01:11:08,439 --> 01:11:12,920
Speaker 2: I considered Don Lemon, I considered Tim Walls, I considered Cuba,

1271
01:11:13,880 --> 01:11:17,839
Speaker 2: I considered the Hall of Fame voters who snubbed Bill Belichick.

1272
01:11:17,880 --> 01:11:20,040
Speaker 2: But I think I'm gonna go with Stephen Colbert. Let's

1273
01:11:20,080 --> 01:11:23,200
Speaker 2: play Stephen Colbert, who said on his show this week,

1274
01:11:23,240 --> 01:11:25,120
Speaker 2: well you got to hand it to the Nazis. Here's

1275
01:11:25,120 --> 01:11:25,879
Speaker 2: Stephen Colbert.

1276
01:11:27,800 --> 01:11:32,639
Speaker 17: Coavino went on complaining, look, Danny, they're trying to portray

1277
01:11:32,720 --> 01:11:37,560
Speaker 17: border battle agents and ice agents, es, Gestapo, Nazi and

1278
01:11:37,760 --> 01:11:40,479
Speaker 17: many other words. Yes, do not compare ice or border

1279
01:11:40,520 --> 01:11:43,240
Speaker 17: patrol agents to the Nazis. That's an unfair comparison.

1280
01:11:43,720 --> 01:11:45,639
Speaker 3: The Nazis were willing to show their faces.

1281
01:11:48,560 --> 01:11:53,679
Speaker 2: Stephen Colbert ultimately the least funny and most useless comedian

1282
01:11:53,760 --> 01:11:57,320
Speaker 2: in America, even more useless than Jimmy Kimmel Brandon, but

1283
01:11:57,439 --> 01:12:01,719
Speaker 2: he is my absolutely loser of the week. Brandon Tatum,

1284
01:12:01,960 --> 01:12:04,320
Speaker 2: you've been great. Thanks for coming by. I will see

1285
01:12:04,360 --> 01:12:07,000
Speaker 2: you in Arizona. I think in a few weeks. I

1286
01:12:07,040 --> 01:12:08,599
Speaker 2: can't wait to see you again. I know you got

1287
01:12:08,600 --> 01:12:10,320
Speaker 2: a new ride. We're gonna take a ride together. It's

1288
01:12:10,360 --> 01:12:12,519
Speaker 2: gonna be a lot of fun and we'll uh uh, we'll,

1289
01:12:12,720 --> 01:12:15,240
Speaker 2: we'll have a great conversation. That was Brandon Tatum. I'm
