This morning with some areas of fog, cloudy later near

seventy Tonight, showers back more towards sunrise sixty to fifty
suburbs and will get into some wet weather. It could

and Saturday. Great and thunderstorm's likely. Friday's high is seventy
five right now fifty five at in Sports.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Mets fall to the White Sox nine to four at
City Field Wednesday. New York has still won five of
its last seven games. The Mets are off today. They
open a set with the Rockies tomorrow night in Queens,
and the Yanks win. Late in Anaheim won nothing over
the Angels. The Yanks have won five straight and nine
out of their last ten. They're in LA tomorrow to
take on the Dodgers. The Knicks had the night off,
(00:39):
hoping it's not their final one of the season. New
York facing elimination, down three games to one to the
Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals, a must win game
five tonight at the Garden. It's nine oh five. Next
News at nine thirty, Breaking News at once. I'm jack
Lyncarl On seven ten wo Austor.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
He's minty in the morning on sevent.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Ten, Well, welcome to a Thursday of off and on rain.
So happier with us today and the Big three And
new poll shows that the New York mayor's race just
keeps getting closer and closer and closer. Socialist Zori m
Mamdani is now in second place and within ten points.
(01:21):
Remember he started at one and now he's within ten
points and he keeps going up. That forced the front runner,
Andrew Cuomo, out of hiding to try to buy votes
to propose an increase in the minimum wage twenty dollars.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
That is the fair wage, and that's what we want
and that's what we're going to get passed.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
And Zorahan Mamdani then he ran to the closest camera
and said, thirty dollars, who'll say forty? It's gotten ridiculous.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is out with his plan to
modernize air traffic control at Newark Liberty International, But first
he says he needs to fix what the Biden administration
(02:03):
did to air traffic control.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
The last administration moved the Newark are space from N
ninety down to the Philly traecon and these lines were
not built. They didn't use fiber, and now we're dealing
with that today in real.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Time, right. They used old copper wiring that stayed in
place for all this time. It's been there for years
and years and years, and that's what burnt and caused
the screens to go off. The President says he's not
going to impose new sanctions against Russia for its attacks
on Ukraine during peace talks, at least not yet. Only
(02:39):
the fact that if I think I'm close to getting
a deal, I don't want to screw it up by
doing that. How about this. Elon Musk doesn't like Trump's big,
beautiful bill at all.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
I think a both can be big or it can
be beautiful, but I don't know if it could be both.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
My postal opinion, yeah, he does.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
He has a problem that it's too big. The same
problem that a lot of conservatives in the Senate have
with the bill in that it increases the debt too much.
A lot of this has to be worked out. This
is a family fight right now, and Jake Tapper is
doing a complete one eighty on President Biden's mental decline
and the cover up.
Speaker 5 (03:19):
It is a scandal.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Yes it is. It is, without question, and maybe even
worse than Watergate in some way.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
And with that, I'll tell you what. I'm very excited
to have Scott Jennings on you. Hear us talk about
him a lot on the show. Scott Jennings. If you
haven't seen him, he's on a panel on CNN, I'm
sure you've seen him. He's the conservative lion at CNN.
He's on a panel at CNN, and he reminds me
of Bruce Lee. He's there by himself fighting the good fight.
(03:50):
They keep throwing people at him by the way, one
at a time, just like they're doing the Bruce Lee movies,
and he disposes of them easily. And he's usually the
last man standing. The others think they're there, but they've
been disposed of. Scott Jennings, Thanks so much for joining
the show today. I appreciate your time.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
I'm so flattered to hear that introduction. Thanks for having
me and love your news round up. There's a ton
of stuff going on out there. Look forward to the discussion.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Oh there is. Let me just tell people about you,
CNN's conservative senior political contributor and author of the upcoming book,
Revolution of Common Sense, How Donald Trump stormed Washington and
fought for Western civilization. Is the book out now or
is it coming out? Can you pre order it?
Speaker 5 (04:38):
You can pre order it on Amazon and it'll come out.
I think they're moving it up to November the eighteenth,
So it's makes an amazing Christmas gift. It's got Donald
Trump on the cover, coming out of the south door
of the White House there, and it really just kind
of covers the first hundred plus days of the new administration.
And I was inspired to write it by this line,
a Revolution of common Sense, which he used in the
(04:59):
inaugural address, and he uses it a lot because it's
kind of the new branding of the Republican Party under Trump,
and I picked out some issues that I thought were
indicative of this new branding. And I think people will
like it. If you love Trump, you're gonna like it.
If you don't, or if you're curious, I think you'll
learn something from it. But would be honored if you
pre ordered it today. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Well, I'm a super fan of you and of Donald Trump,
and I know a lot of people that are listening
right now are as well. So it does it makes
a great Christmas present. Let's talk about the Biden cover
up and what you just heard from Jake Tapper a
second ago. I know it might be uncomfortable with you
because you work at CNN, and CNN was like media
(05:39):
Central for the cover up. How have you dealt with
this on your show?
Speaker 5 (05:45):
On the show, well, I'll tell you how I've dealt
with it for years, which is I have consistently stated
for years and whenever given the chance, that I thought
Joe Biden was not in control of his own faculties,
and it was a scandal. And of course people fought
with me. Anchors and other contributors fought with me over this.
They participated in, you know, following the White House line,
(06:07):
which was everything is fine. You know, behind closed doors,
he's riding unicycles and juggling nine and doing trigonometry, and
you know, they went along with the cheap fake saying
that Karine Jean Pierre put out during the twenty twenty
four elections. So I fought this for years. Now everybody
is kind of seeing what a lot of conservatives, like
you and like me, we're calling out. And I'm truthfully
(06:28):
glad they are better late than never, is my view.
And I think this book and all these revelations are
a vital part of the historical record because I actually
agree with what Jake said there and one of the
clips you play it is worse than Watergate because what
we now know is that you had unelected people running
a White House making decisions on behalf of the elected president.
(06:50):
And that's not the way our constitution works. Okay, that's
not the way it works. Not only were they doing it,
but they were lying to the American people about it.
Every senior Democrat in the country participated in the cover up,
from Chuck Schumer all the way down, Keem, Jeffries, you
name it. Every media person participated in it. This is
the biggest conspiracy in modern American political history, and so
(07:12):
I'm glad for the historical record of it. We need
to explore, and I think the next thing that needs
to happen is congressional hearings because these unelected people in
the White House who are making decisions you're running the
auto pen need to be held to account.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
Oh, I agree with you one thousand percent. I also
wonder if there's any criminality here whatsoever, and if there isn't,
there should be because as you pointed out this is
a group of unelected official and not confirmed not confirmed
by the Senate or the House either that we're running
the country and that cannot ever happen again. So I
(07:47):
hope that there's also an FBI investigation or a Homeland
security investigation, just to find out if there was any
criminality in this. I think it right now. Is that
big of a deal? And you cover this more than
I do? Is that a possibility?
Speaker 5 (08:04):
Well, I believe for the congressional piece, yes, I'm from
Kentucky where Congressman James Comer is the head of the
House Oversight Committee, and he is already making signals that
he is going to be calling people in issuing subpoenas
I believe, and he you know, he's the person who
coined the original phrase the Biden crime family. He got
to the bottom of the bidens first. I trust Jenie
(08:27):
Comer to do this. I believe they will do it.
It needs to happen because look, this is the core
of our constitucial republic. The people elect you know, presidents
and others to govern. We don't elect their advisors. Everybody
has advisers, and that's fine, but the core of it is.
The president himself has to be the one making the decisions,
(08:47):
signing the documents. He has to be aware of what's
going on. And if that's not what was happening here,
it is the biggest scandal in modern American political history
that you had. You know, somebody called it a poll
was running the White House like this cabal of people
that included Hunter Biden, Jill Biden, you know, some of
these staffers like this is not this is not the
(09:10):
way it works. So I believe that you're at a
minimum going to get congressional oversight here out of the Republicans,
and we need it. Yeah, because it does beg the
question some of these decisions may not have been legal
if Biden himself was not aware that they were being
made there.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
That's a show though there's no consequences. There's no consequences
at the end of a hearing, and they're not going
to be able to stop it from ever happening again.
That's why there has to be something more. People have
to be held accountable, and I just I'm not positive
there can be something more, but I wish there was
something more.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
They could do. I'll tell you that the one piece
of accountability and consequences that you will get out of
this is political accountability. I mean, the Democratic Party in
Congress is already sitting at like a twenty twenty one
percent approval rating. I think this Biden stuff is driving
the party down even further. And if we get to
the bottom of it even further with hearings, American people
(10:00):
are going to be left with an interesting choice in
twenty twenty six and twenty twenty eight, which is, do
we really want to put the people back in power
who engaged in the largest conspiracy in modern American political history.
So if you don't have legal consequences, then you could
be right, and I don't know, I don't know how
that would go. You will have political consequences because I
do think the American people feel like they were absolutely
(10:22):
one hundred percent lied to by one of the two
major parties and certainly most of the mainstream media. The
consequence there is Republicans are going to get a chance
to continue to govern. And so you know, that is
a large scale political consequence that I think could come
out of getting to the bottom of it even further.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
Yeah, no, I understand that, I get that completely. I
just it's such a big deal, it can never ever
happen again. I do hope that there's some criminality. I
do hope at least we scare them with an FBI investigation,
because I just believe it's that big of a deal.
Scott Jennings, it was a pleasure to talk to you.
Please don't make this the last time. CNN's conservative senior
political contributor and author of the upcoming book Revolution of

Western civilization. I can't wait to cheer you on. I

Speaker 5 (11:15):
Well, you can cheer me on tonight. I'll be back
on Abby at ten o'clock. And I promised to issue
five or six good solid dunks tonight. I don't know
what the times to be, but I'm going down the lane.
I'm gonna throw it down on somebody tonight. Rest assured,
right in their face.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
