Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
The voice of free speech, the truth delivered common sense
for the American people.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
Welcome to the Scott Jenning Show.

Speaker 3 (00:13):
President Trump dodges danger in the Middle East. Blockbuster reporting
says Trump engaged in cloak and dagger tactics to evade
assassination attempts while overseas. We'll discuss that Senator Chuck Grassley
of Iowa is stopping by today.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
He makes his inaugural appearance on the show.

Speaker 3 (00:33):
We talked to him about Todd Blanche's confirmation, Iowa politics
and the prospect of getting a farm bill this fall.
And we continue our exploration of the absolutely crazy descent
into madness that is today's Democratic Party. Every day, more
audio and more statements. We have so much more on
that front.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
Today.

Speaker 3 (00:53):
It is Tuesday, August the eleventh. I'm Scott Jennings broadcasting
for Salem, and we come to you live from Washington, DC.
On this day, nineteen thirty four, a boat crossed the cold,
choppy waters of San Francisco Bay on board one hundred
and thirty seven passengers. But this was no sightseeing crews.

(01:15):
These men were considered among the most dangerous in America.
Their destination a baron windswept island, a mile and a
half offshore, was once a lighthouse and a military fort,
but the government had a new use for it to
house the prisoners that no other prison could control. Soon,
the guest list would include the most infamous names in

(01:37):
American crime, George Machine Gun, Kelly the Birdman, Robert Stroud,
and Al Capone, whose money and influence could buy him
almost anything except.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
A ticket off this island.

Speaker 3 (01:51):
Over the next twenty nine years, thirty six men would
attempt to escape. Some were captured, others were killed. Some
disappeared into the freezing waters had never seen again. The
government maintains that nobody ever successfully escaped. It was discovered
by Spanish explorer Juan Manuel de Ila in seventeen seventy five.

(02:13):
He called it the Island of the Pelicans, but you
know it as Alcatraz. Open this day, August eleventh, nineteen
thirty four. Today's news. Well, we told you yesterday that
the Democratic plan for the midterms was to try to
act normal. The trouble is none of their candidates can

(02:33):
seem to pull it off. Today is primary election day
in several states, including Wisconsin, where the leading Democrat for
governor Francesca Hong has says has said she wants to
abolish Thanksgiving. And now in Michigan, we've discovered that US
Senate candidate and socialist Abdul l Sayed wants to get
rid of the Fourth of July. This news comes to

(02:57):
us from our friend Andrew Kazinski. We call him the
k File Over at CNN. Andrew has found that l
Saied's campaign deleted hundreds of his old YouTube videos, including
a Fourth of July video in which he mocked the
holiday's fireworks and questioned the celebration of American independence. Now

(03:17):
you have to ask yourself, why would someone want to
cancel the Fourth of July. Well, there's only one real reason,
because they hate America and that hate for our country's
birthday must run deep. Yes, folks, the quest for Democrats
to just act normal has hit another major speed bump

(03:37):
or a brick wall. Sort of makes you wonder what
a holiday will the Democrats try to cancel next. I
wouldn't get too comfortable over there Easter and Christmas if
I were you at Dul l Sayed has also taken
some criticism this week for posting bizarre music videos where
he sings and dances and choreographed theatrics. We also found

(03:59):
out this week that he has views on American football.
He's compared it to slavery. It's exhausting to be a democrat.
This audio was also unearthed by CNN. Take a listen
Cut nine.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
I wanted to think a bit more about why, in
twenty twenty three we continue to watch football. What is
it about this brutal sport that keeps us coming back?
Is there a version of football that's actually ethical, safe?
What would need to change? Just to note, this is
a subject that inspires a lot of contradictory feelings, and
we don't really get to a single need and tidy answer,
but the conversation helped me frame my own feelings about

(04:32):
the sport. I hope going into Super Bowl Sunday, they'll
help you frame your perspective on it too, because even
if you're just watching the commercials, the NFL is still
making a dollar off you.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
Canceling the fourth of July, canceling the National Football League
ought to go over big up in Michigan. The story
here today and you've got to give credit to see
it in for digging all this up before launching his
campaign Abdul l Sayed removed hundreds of YouTube videos that
he made from twenty twenty two to twenty twenty four.
Transcripts show him floating the idea of replacing the Second Amendment,

(05:07):
urging an end to the Fourth of July, and attacking
Republicans for focusing on border security. His campaign says those
don't reflect his beliefs today. It was literally two years
ago that Abdul l Sayed was making these videos. Folks,
you have to understand there are no moderates left in
the Democratic Party. The American people are out here looking

(05:29):
for some sort of normalcy. On that, I agree. Democrats say,
you know best we could do. Cancel the fourth cancel Thanksgiving,
cancel football. Pretty unbelievable. On top of these candidates, in
their own words, their surrogates are just as bad, even worse. Actually,
we continue today our exploration of the radical socialist streamer

(05:50):
Hassan Piker. Now he's abdual el Sayed's best friend and
he campaigns for him all the time. And African Americans
out there within the stund of my voice need to
listen up, and you must listen carefully. This is who's
socialists like abdual l si Ed choose to keep for company.
Just listen to this, Hassan Piker and cut eight. What

(06:14):
black people care about? Oh, black people care about this.
Black people care about that? Like, shut the f up.
That's not how politics works. Oh well, Hassan, how dare
you like it or not? Black people care about this issue.
It's like it's such a fucking stupid stance.

Speaker 4 (06:28):
Any other black folk want to engage in radical activist
language in the chat?

Speaker 1 (06:33):
Suck my friend. Yes, dude, it's because I'm racist. That's why.
It's because I'm racist.

Speaker 5 (06:39):
Dude.

Speaker 4 (06:39):
Well, back to a better time when lynchings were happening.
This is what I like as a black man. Are
you always doing too much with black people? Leave them alone.
I want to go back to lynching, Like I get it.
Will relax, man, Shut the f up. Okay, you got me. Okay,
you got me. Because I'm a racist person.

Speaker 3 (06:57):
You just heard campaigns all the time for i Abdul
el Sayed in Michigan. He campaigns for other Democrats around
the country. Every black voter in this country needs to
listen to this. And if you look at these democratic primaries,
black voters have been voting against the Socialists, only to
be overruled in many cases by young, privileged white commis.

(07:18):
Might these black voters find a home in the Republican
Party this fall? Well, if Democratic campaigns are adopting the
Piker plan of returning our country to lynchings, that just
might happen. Did you ever notice, by the way, how
violent these people are. You have Jewish Americans say they're
feeling constantly threatened by l Sayed supporters. Now Al Sayed's

(07:40):
best friend is out there calling for black voters to
be lynched. Beneath all the smiles and dancing videos, there's
nothing but hate and violence in the hearts of these communists.
Their position to abolish police in prisons, that's a testament
to their violent streak as well. I want you to
watch this interview with doctor Francis Gill of the Democratic

(08:03):
Socialists of America's National Political Committee.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
Listen carefully, cut thirteen.

Speaker 6 (08:08):
Your policy agenda on law enforcement is to defund police,
ultimately to get rid of police departments.

Speaker 7 (08:14):
Correct, Well, what I would say is that we're dramatically
overspending on police right now.

Speaker 6 (08:20):
I understand the goal is to defund the police department,
so we don't need them in the future.

Speaker 7 (08:24):
I think it's what we really want to see as
a horizon where folks are not reliant on armed enforcement
to meet our public safety needs.

Speaker 6 (08:33):
Right, But it says defund police on a website that's
your goal, and also to get rid of prisons and jails.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
Correct.

Speaker 6 (08:40):
Yes, So my daughter is assaulted and raped, is there
any agency that would seek to find her assailant and
bring him to justice?

Speaker 7 (08:51):
Of course, yeah, of course would be.

Speaker 1 (08:53):
If not police, And where would he be if not
a jail?

Speaker 7 (08:57):
So I guess I really I really want to getting
kind of caught into these hypotheticals and talk more about
the reality that we're actually facing right now, which is
that we're spending absolutely outrageous amounts of money on police
and policing, and we're not spending money on things that
actually make people safe and feel safe, which is things
like actually well lit streets, the streetlights in Los Angeles.

(09:19):
Everybody agrees it's a huge problem.

Speaker 3 (09:22):
If a female relative of yours gets raped in the street,
don't worry. The Democratic Socialists will be along to give
you a light bulb.

Speaker 5 (09:30):
You know.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
When it comes to supplements, two things matter. Does this work?
Can I trust it.

Speaker 3 (09:35):
So rather than just tell you about Relief Factor to
get those answers, I thought maybe I'd let the customers
do the talking.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
I get a lot of stories here. Here's one from Jim.

Speaker 3 (09:44):
He ran out of relief Factor twice, and both times
his aches, his stiffness, and his pain came back. Now,
once Jim restarted, he says he felt better again. Jim
puts it this way quote, you know something's working when
you run out of it. It is so easy, by
the way, to find out if you'll be the next

(10:04):
person telling us your Relief Factor story. You can get
three weeks of relief Factor for just seventeen dollars and
seventy six cents, a patriotic price for America two fifty.
Here's how you get it. It's waiting for you. It'll
be there in no time at all if you order
it right now. Go to relief Factor dot com or
call one eight hundred and four Relief.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
We'll connect up with our friendly local team.

Speaker 3 (10:28):
They'll do everything they can to get you that relief
Factor right away, and maybe you will send us your
Relief Factor story.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
We're going to take a break.

Speaker 3 (10:36):
When we come back, we've got to talk about this
reporting on President Trump dodging assassination attempts and a catering
truck at a Turkish airport wild reporting.

Speaker 1 (10:45):
We have the details after.

Speaker 8 (10:46):
This the man who made CNN that's safe for conservatives again.
Here's Scott Jennings.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
More news here.

Speaker 3 (10:54):
On Tuesday, August the eleventh, Luigi Mangoni back in at
Manhattan courtroom today for his final scheduled hearing before jury
selection begins in September. Mangioni has pleaded not guilty to
murdering United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson back in December of
twenty twenty four. The judge has ruled that the jury

(11:17):
will remain anonymous amid concerns about possible intimidation by Mangione's supporters.

Speaker 1 (11:25):
Think about that. We'll put a pin in that and
come back to it.

Speaker 3 (11:28):
An overflow courtroom will be available because of intense public.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
And media interests.

Speaker 3 (11:32):
Mangioni faces twenty five years to life if convicted. I mean,
just go back to that sentence. The judge ruled that
the jury will remain anonymous amid concerns about possible intimidation
by Mangione's supporters. This vigilante CEO Killer has supporters who

(11:57):
are they well. A recent you go of survey found
that among those who self identify as very liberal, forty
seven percent either felt very or somewhat favorable towards Luigi Mangione.
Luigi Mangione's supporters that they are worried will intimidate the jury.

(12:22):
Is the American left. That is the violent streak coursing
through American politics right now.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
It's on the American left.

Speaker 3 (12:35):
Abdul l sayed supporters in Michigan have made it unsafe
for the Democratic Jewish attorney general there to go to
the Democratic convention. Luigi Mangione's liberal supporters have made it
unsafe to serve on a jury in New York City.
The violent, anti American, anti Westerner, aggressive radical left in

(13:02):
this country has violence in its heart. The news tells
us the story every day. You don't have to engage
in conjecture to understand what's going on here and what's
at stake in terms of your own safety. This November
another story we're tracking today, President Trump. It's been reported

(13:23):
this came out last night. Switched planes using an airport
catering truck to get on a smaller military jet. To
leave Turkey when he was over there for the NATO
summit a few weeks ago. It was an elaborate ruse,
but they put Donald Trump on a previously undisclosed third

(13:44):
plane and they moved him across the airport in a
catering truck. I heard this story last night, and the
hair went up on the back of my neck. I
thought to myself, how serious must this threat have been
in order to take such elaborate precautions to protect the
President of the United States. I told Caitlin Collins that last

(14:06):
night Cut twelve. I mean, it sounds like this was
a very, very serious threat to the President's safety. And
when you consider that he's already survived a numerous assassination
attempts or people at least thinking about assassinating him, and
you consider the region that he was in, I'm glad
they engaged in all this cloak and dagger and all
this deception to keep him safe. I think every time

(14:29):
he walks outside of the White House, whether he's traveling
domestically or internationally, somewhere in his mind he must believe,
you know, I don't know if I'm coming back here
tonight because of what he has lived through. I fear
for him and what might happen to him every single day.
And you know, this story raised up the hairs on
the back of my neck when you consider how they
had to move him around.

Speaker 1 (14:47):
But I'm glad they.

Speaker 3 (14:48):
Did it, and I'm glad they got him back to
the United States safely. This was all based on specific,
credible Iranian assassination threats that report ardly came to us
through Israeli intelligence. This wasn't a vague or invented concern.

Speaker 5 (15:06):
Now.

Speaker 3 (15:07):
Iran has openly threatened retaliation against Trump and other former
administration officials for years. Trump himself has described himself as
number one on their hit list. And that's what's going
on overseas here the United States. Trump, of course, survived
the assassination attempt in Butler. He had another apparent assassin

(15:30):
at his Florida golf course.

Speaker 1 (15:31):
There was a.

Speaker 3 (15:31):
Would be assassin the White House correspondence dinner earlier this
year who tried to kill the President and numerous other
government officials. This specific story, though, is so captivated American
politics today because it's almost like a movie script. Moving
the president from one plane to another and a catering
truck It's not the first time the White House has

(15:54):
used misdirection. Bill Clinton had an aircraft switching ruse during
his two thousand trip to Pakistan. Coming up, by the way,
at the top of the hour, we're going to talk
to a Secret Service agent from the Bush forty three
years who can talk about a little bit the kinds
of tactics that the Secret Service put into place to
keep the president safe.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
Well, I'm glad they kept him safe.

Speaker 3 (16:15):
I know some people are carping about this today, but
why don't you want your commander in chief to be
able to travel safely and return home safely. If you
don't believe that, rethink your positions more after this Scott
Jennings on sealing.

Speaker 8 (16:30):
The voice of reason, common sense of the American people.

Speaker 1 (16:34):
This is the Scott Jennings Show.

Speaker 3 (16:37):
Welcome back to the Scott Jennings Show. Our guest now
a true institution of American politics. Chuck Grassley is the
senior US Senator from Iowa, serving in the Senate since
nineteen eighty one, making him the longest serving current member
of the Chamber. He is a lifelong family farmer and
a fierce champion for government oversight and transparency. He is

(17:00):
famous for holding public meetings and every single one of
Iowa's ninety nine counties every single year. He's also the
chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and he joins us
today to talk about what's happening in Washington. Chuck Grassley,
Welcome to the Scott Jennings Show.

Speaker 5 (17:18):
Oh glad to be with you. Thank you for having me.

Speaker 3 (17:21):
Well, we're honored by your taking some time to speak
with us from Iowa today. Senator I want to start
with the confirmation process, the ultimately successful confirmation of Todd
Blanche to be the Attorney General of the United States.

Speaker 1 (17:36):
It was a little contentious.

Speaker 3 (17:37):
And came down to the wire, but you finally got
it done. Take us inside the room on getting Todd
Blanche confirmed and tell us why you think he'll be
a good Attorney General for the United States.

Speaker 5 (17:49):
Well, he did an awful good job at the hearing
answering questions, and he was under old. It happens that
Senator Corner and Senator tell Us needed some additional certainty
that the president's weaponization fund was not going to ever

(18:11):
be used, and some other questions dealing with the president's
settlement on his income taxes. With the irs, and it
just took forever to get those things worked out. And
it shouldn't have taken forever, because I think it was
kind of a very simple process. But evidently somebody else

(18:36):
in the exager branch or somebody in the private sector
was always telling the Department Justice through Blanche that she
can't do this in a compromise with Corner, or he
can't do that. But it took about eight days that

(18:58):
it shouldn't taken to get everybody worked out. And I
was in the middle of trying to bring the people together.
I wasn't involved in the exact language that you put
in this compromise, but eventually it got him those two
votes to get out of committee. Then once you get
him out of committee, we found out that there were

(19:20):
four or five Senators that weren't going to vote for him. Well,
a lot of those people came around after tell Us
and corn had made the agreement within the committee, the compromise,
and he got down to two senators voting no and

(19:40):
carrying fifty to forty nine. And it's just a long
process to go through, and it takes me longer too
long to tell you about it. But I think he's
going to make a very very good attorney general.

Speaker 1 (19:56):
Yeah, I agree with you.

Speaker 3 (19:57):
I think he ought to be given a chance to
see seed and on his watch. I mean, he's been
at the Department of Justice now for quite a while,
and violent crime is falling all across America. I think
it's one of President Trump's best accomplishments so far. They're
focused on reducing violent crime in cities like Memphis and Washington,
d C.

Speaker 1 (20:17):
And it's working.

Speaker 3 (20:19):
Is that something that you all talked about with Todd
blanche furthering the strategies to continue to knock down violent
crime across the country.

Speaker 5 (20:28):
I talked about it in my opening remarks in the committee,
I talked about it in defending him to the journalist,
and I talked about it in my closing comments on
the Center for before he was approved. Yeah, it's a
very very demanding reason why he should be continued as

(20:52):
Attorney General instead of being acting but acting Attorney general.

Speaker 3 (20:58):
That voice you're hearing on the scot Chenny Show is
Chuck Grassley, the senior Senator from Iowa and the senior
Senator of the United States Senate. We're talking about what's
going on in Washington obviously, Senator, you're now on the
August recess period. But when you come back, there are
some things the Senate has to do. You're sitting in Iowa,
I'm from Kentucky, and there's a lot of folks in

(21:19):
both of those states and other states that are worried
about the farm Bill. What can you tell us about
the farm Bill? Do you think it'll pass here in
the fall?

Speaker 5 (21:30):
Well, you bring up Kentucky, and the reason that the
bill didn't get out of committee the Thursday that we
were last sensation is because McConnell was in the hospital.
Now it's my understanding he's recovering very well. He'll be back.
He's the most senior member of the Egg Committee, and

(21:53):
we'll have his vaute and we'll get the bill out
of committee. And we ought to be able to move
forward at that point, and I hope we do.

Speaker 3 (22:02):
What is the status of the farm bill in terms
of the two parties working together? It's my understanding the
Democrats have been somewhat intransigent on this that typically gets
bipartisan support. Do you expect any Democrat support for the
Farm Bill this fall?

Speaker 5 (22:19):
It's going to have to happen or we won't get
a farm bill because you've got to have sixty votes
to move the bill through the Center floward and that Now,
just for a little bit of history, I've been a
member of the Egg Committee since nineteen ninety two. This
is my seventh or eighth farm bell. This is the

(22:41):
first one that never got out of a committee with
bi players and Sword. The Democrats are holding it up
because they don't like the reforms we made in the
food stamp program. They want us to go back on
some of those changes that were made. We offered them
a compromise and it wasn't enough for them. It was

(23:06):
actually half the time that they wanted us to allow
states to meet certain requirements and they wanted two years.
We have one year in it. We thought that was
a reasonable compromise, but it wasn't enough to satisfy them.
So consequently we have to continue to work on it,

(23:31):
and I hope we'll find a way to do it.
Because we pass a fine bearer farm bell every five years.
The last one was twenty eighteen, so in twenty twenty
three we should have had a farm bell. So effectively,
by extending it for one year at a time, we
have an eight year farm bail. Now, there's a lot

(23:52):
of changes that need to be made for the benefit
of the farmers because things have changed since twenty eighteen,
and we need update the farm bell and give the
farmers some certainty.

Speaker 3 (24:04):
Sator Grassley, you're probably in touch with farmers more than
anyone else in Washington, d C. What are the top
two or three issues you're hearing from the farming community
and really from rural America in general about.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
What they have to have in this farm bill.

Speaker 5 (24:21):
Well, it's a little on related to the farm bell,
but it will be part of the farm bell. But
the ethanol issue that we call E fifteen in other words,
fifteen percent ethanol mixed with your gasoline. We need a
law pass to make that permanent. And that's about a
fourteen billion dollars of additional income to corn farmers, and

(24:45):
that's the most important thing that I'm hearing from farmers.
Then input costs are very high, so we have a
fertilizer provision in this farm bel. If we get a pass,
that should help in regard to that. But a lot
of it deals with the uncertainty that comes from the

(25:05):
President's tariffs. I'm not going to argue with the President
about these tariffs, but if he wouldn't be changing every
day from time to time, it would help certainty that
you need in business generally, but particularly in the agriculture.

Speaker 3 (25:24):
Senator Chuck Grassley from Iowa is our guest here on
the Scott Jennings Show. Senator Iowa is going to have
a big Senate race coming up this fall, not yours,
but the other Senate seat is open that's created by
the retirement of Senator Jony Ernst, and the Republican nominee
is Ashley Hinson. Wondering what your view of the Senate
race is right now, how Ashley Henson's campaign is going,

(25:48):
and maybe just some general political commentary from you on
Republican chances to hold the Senate majority.

Speaker 5 (25:56):
Well, let me start with Ashley Henson. She's going to
be prepared on January third, coming up to not miss
a beat with where Joonia Ernst is leaving off. She's
been a outstanding member of the Iowa House Representatives. She

(26:18):
beat an income Democrat fix years ago. She's going to
be able to well, she just barely beat at that
particular time, but she's extended her winning streaks with bigger
percentages since then. So I think she's going into this
race very strong, and that's very helpful, and because in

(26:46):
one force of the state, she's well known and she's
working hard. She's done a nine nine county tour already
once this year, and so that tells you if she's
doing that as a candidate, she's going to keep in
touch with the constituents after she's elected. And I think

(27:08):
generally in the Senate, with what's going on in the
state of Michigan and what's already happened in the state
of Maine, I think we have an opportunity to maintain
control of the United States Senate.

Speaker 3 (27:23):
Senator, what do you make of this turn towards socialism, communism,
this radicalism that we've seen out of the Democrats.

Speaker 1 (27:31):
It's pretty shocking.

Speaker 5 (27:35):
I wonder if they've ever read the Constitution of the
United States. And I say that with just one of
their platforms to do away with the United States Senate,
the Constitution says that, and it's called the only unamendable
part of the Constitution that no state will give will

(27:58):
be will have its Senate seats taken away from it
without its permission. Now that means that if you're going
to do away the United States Senate, you've got to
have fifty state legislatures say we're going to give up
our membership in the United States Senate. There's a lot

(28:21):
of things that just don't fit. Now, maybe maybe they're
going to do like Hitler taken over Germany. The rights
just folded itself out of business, but you can't do
that under the Constitution of the United States. So it

(28:44):
just seems very unreal estate. It doesn't seem like the
real world. It seems like it's almost revolutionary approach, and
quite frankly, they're very open about wanting to change American society.
And what I look at is they think that four

(29:05):
hundred and five hundred and thirty five members of Congress
making all these decisions, running this big country, in our
big economy, that they're smarter than the three hundred and
thirty million people that each in an individual way, making
their own individual choices, making their own decision how they're

(29:25):
going to spend their money, and inventors what they're going
to invent, and everything like that. The greatness of America
comes from the fact that we have an economic system
and a constitutional system that allows anybody to do anything

(29:47):
that they want to do, as long as it's within
the law. And that's what's made America great. And I
don't think they realize that.

Speaker 3 (29:57):
Yeah, I don't think they realize it. And frankly, Senator,
I don't think they care that. Senator Chuck Grassley, Legend
from Iowa, joining us today. Senator, thanks for your time.
We look forward to checking back with you very soon.
We'll take a break with more news right after this.

Speaker 5 (30:11):
Stay with it.

Speaker 8 (30:12):
Common sense for the American people. This is the Scott
Jenny Show, and.

Speaker 3 (30:16):
Welcome back to the Scott Jennings Show. Thanks again to
Chuck Grassley from Iowa for joining us. He's out on
the August recess. Sometimes people say, what is the August recess?
Why do we have a whole month where the Senate
and the Congress go out of session. To answer that
question in sixty seconds is Teddy Troy, presidential historian. He's

(30:37):
got a piece in the Wall Street Journal about this
very topic. First, I want to welcome a new partner
to the program, Noble Gold Investments.

Speaker 1 (30:44):

go away at some point.

Speaker 1 (31:41):
You don't want to miss it.

Speaker 3 (31:42):
Noble Gold Investments eight seven seven six four six fifty
three forty seven or Noblegoldinvestments dot com. Teddy Troy, Presidential Historian,
is here.

Speaker 1 (31:51):
Tevy.

Speaker 3 (31:52):
Thanks for coming back on the Scott Sheenning Show. We're
in the August recess and some people wonder why does
Congress take a recess in August. You've done the research,
what can you tell us?

Speaker 9 (32:03):
Well, it's real hot in Washington in August, unpleasantly hot.
You know, diplomats us seek at hazard paid for being
in Washington in August, and starting back in seventeen ninety one, they.

Speaker 10 (32:12):
Said well let's get out of town.

Speaker 9 (32:14):
And so the recess dates all the way back to then,
in the days before air conditioning, and in nineteen seventy
they actually made it statutory. So now there is always
going to be an August recess. But the real fact
of the matter is it's just hot here.

Speaker 1 (32:27):
Yeah, it's hot.

Speaker 3 (32:28):
And you know, the term recess, I mean it sort
of gives the appearance that everybody's out goofing off.

Speaker 1 (32:34):
That's not exactly what happens.

Speaker 5 (32:36):
Though.

Speaker 3 (32:37):
These senators go back to their states, and so do
the members of Congress. They go back to their districts.
They spend a lot of August running around with the
people they represent, don't they.

Speaker 9 (32:46):
Well that's absolutely true today, especially with cameras and social
media tracking them, But it wasn't always the case. I mean,
people really actually did take more of a vacation in August.
But yeah, absolutely, you see. You know, Chuck Krassley's working
at hard in Iowa, as you mentioned in the earlier segment,
And I think that that's just part of what they
have to do. You're always on the go, especially in
an election. You're even if it's in August.

Speaker 3 (33:06):
Yeah, it's interesting, Tevy. This issue has become something of
a political football every time there's a recess, whether it's
August or any other part of the calendar. But there
are things undone people and some senators often clamor for
the recess to be canceled, but it almost never happens
because most of them want to get out of Washington.
Why do you think it is that this has become

(33:27):
such a hot button issue. I guess it's I guess
it's politically convenient to make the argument I'm willing to
stay and everybody else wants to leave.

Speaker 9 (33:34):
Yeah, And it's sort of an analog to the old
thing about when you're a Republican and a Democrat president
takes vacation, you hate it, But when you're a Democrat
or Republican president takes vacation, you hate it. So it's just,
you know, it depends on which shoe the foot is on.
Or which put the shoes on.

Speaker 3 (33:50):
I guess though, the philosophical argument here is, really, would
you rather all these politicians be in Washington all the time,
or he actually wanted to go out and spend a
little bit of time with the people they represented. I
tend to think being out of Washington and getting out
amongst the people is not a terrible idea for these politicians.
I think if left to their own devices and they

(34:11):
were told you have to be in Washington free or
sixty five days a year, they might do that. I'm
not sure that'd be great for our democracy.

Speaker 1 (34:16):
What do you think?

Speaker 9 (34:17):
Yeah, First of all, it is good that they get
out among the people, and some of these crazy ideas,
like this woke insanity stuff. If you've talked to real people,
nobody believed in that stuff. But the second thing is, look,
you and I want government to do less. The more
congresses here, the more the bureaucrafts are here, the more
they can impose on us and create less liberty, less freedom.

Speaker 3 (34:36):
It's not always been that the Congress is taking recess.
It used to be that the president took long stretches
of time outside of Washington.

Speaker 1 (34:43):
That's not necessarily the case. These days tell us about that.

Speaker 9 (34:46):
Well, yeah, the White House is also pretty hot, and
early primitive efforts to cool the White House have failed
many times. It was only in the Truman administration that
they got central air conditioning. So a bunch of presidents
used to go to the beach in New Jersey. And
there's this great monument in New Jersey on the boardwalk
in Long Branch that shows President Garfield who died there.

(35:08):
He was trying to skip the heat after he'd been shot.
But then six other presidents and markers there. Seven presidents
have vacationed in that spot in New Jersey because it's
just it was one of the closest places at the
est of the ocean and outside of d C.

Speaker 3 (35:21):
Voy scher hearing, presidential historian in my old colleague from
the Bush forty three days, Tevy Troy Teedvy has a
piece in the Wall Street Journal about why we have
an August recess for the Congress. If you're interested in
that kind of history, I encourage you to check it out. Tedvy,
thanks for joining us. We got to take a break.
More news after this it Scott Shedding's on Salem.

Speaker 1 (35:40):
Stay with us.

Speaker 3 (35:41):
Quick check of the headlines here on Tuesday, August the
eleventh up. In Massachusetts, Democrats there have pushed abortion extremism
to its logical and horrifying conclusion. Governor Maurra Healey has
signed law eliminating the specific medical conditions previously required for
abortions after twenty four weeks. Instead, the decision rests solely

(36:04):
with the abortion providers professional judgment. In practical terms, that
opens the door to ending the life of a healthy,
viable baby right up until the moment of birth, with
no second opinion required. Other news, the Trump administration is
officially ending federal Medicaid funding for sex change procedures involving minors.

(36:25):
The new rule blocks taxpayer dollars from paying for puberty blockers,
cross sex hormones, and gender transition surgeries for children. CMS
administrator doctor Mehmet Oz called the procedures quote experimental treatments
carrying irreversible life altering risks without reliable evidence of benefit.

(36:45):
Trump administration says children suffering from gender dysphoria should receive
compassionate mental health care, not drugs and surgeries financed by
American taxpayers. We're getting more information on the situation with
Air Force one that occurred back during the NATOS summit
in anchorupt where in fact President Trump used an elaborate

(37:06):
plan to leave Turkey after potential threats on his life
from the Iranians. Here to discuss that with us as
Patrick Sullivan, a retired Secret Service agent with twenty three
years experience. He for four years was on the Presidential
Protective Division. Patrick, thanks for joining us here on the
Scott Jennings Show. You've taken in the details of how

(37:29):
President Trump had to use an airline catering cart to
get across the tarmac there in Turkey and to hop
on this third plane which we just found out about
last night. When you saw this story, how did it
hit you?

Speaker 11 (37:44):
Well, one thing, Scott, Well, thank you for laying me
here on your show today. It has not been officially confirmed,
so I'm just speaking based on the news media reports. Sure,
I want you to know in your audience to know
that deception is a valuable play in the Secret Service playbook.
Secret services use this type of deception many, many times

(38:04):
over the years, starting with President Roosevelt on his strip
to Casablanca during World War Two, President Eisenhoerer going to
the Korean war zone in nineteen fifty two, President George W.
Bush going to Iraq in two thousand and three over Thanksgiving.
So the fact that the Secret Service engages in deception
to protect the president is a valuable part of the

(38:24):
Secret Service playbook, and it doesn't surprise me in the
least that the Secret Service will come up with this
plan in concert with the Air Force and the Why
Else Military Office to protect the president.

Speaker 1 (38:35):
Patrick, you are getting to my next question.

Speaker 3 (38:37):
Obviously the President was there attending the NATO's summit, and
to move the president around you have both military assets
involved and the Secret Service, which is in charge of
keeping the president safe. What can you tell us about
how the military and the Secret Service work together when
something has to be devised of this nature. How quickly
can a plan like that come together?

Speaker 11 (39:00):
Remarkably, Scott, a plan like that can come together within
minutes if necessary. Probably I would say this took a
few hours to put together. When the President travels, whether
it's domestically internationally, there's always an Air Force one in
the backup air Force one, but there's also other aircraft
called senior executive aircraft that are run by the Air Force,

(39:20):
and these are typically the top of planes at the
Secretary of State might fly and on the first lady,
and they're always part of the package when the President travels,
especially overseas, So it didn't surprise me in the least that,
according to this story, the President was moved to one
of these backup planes that are used specifically in case
of an emergency evacuation. So the plan worked as one
of the plans. The Secret Service always has its contingencies,

(39:41):
and I'm very proud of the Secret Service is putting
this together as quickly as it did. Again based on
these press reports, it's something very special the Secret Service does.

Speaker 3 (39:51):
Patrick, you were part of the Presidential Protective Division, and
I believe you were involved in some overseas travel regarding
President Bush. Did you have to personally work on any
of these sorts of plans that involved deception or ruse
in order to move the president around in your personal experience,
I certainly did.

Speaker 11 (40:11):
We had elaborate plans in place. In Goodan's Poland, one
of President Bush's first overseas trips, where we met with Likecwenza,
who was then head of the Solidarity Union. It was
the last visit to Poland as a communist country, but
a domestic trip I took with President Bush HW Bush
to San Francisco. We had intel that demonstrators are going

(40:32):
to attempt to block the president from departing a hotel,
and luckily I was able to put together a plan
where we had a dummy motikade, if you will. We
had actually four presidential limousines in San Francisco. Two were
in the East Bay Lawrence Livermore Laboratory and two were
in downtown. We brought the package from Lawrence Livermore to
downtown and before the President left, we had the demmy

(40:55):
motikaide leave the hotel, and of course hundreds of demonstrators
followed that motikaide. We took the President out the other
side of the hotel with no problems whatsoever. So, yes,
it's just as part of the planning of the Secret
Service agent. This is something you live and breathe every day.
So the men and women who are responsible for President
Trump's safety, there's no doubt in my mind you're thinking
these things.

Speaker 12 (41:14):
They're playing chess, not checkers.

Speaker 3 (41:17):
Patrick tell us the difference between when the president travels
domestically versus when the president travels overseas, and in this case,
President Trump was not just traveling overseas. He went to Turkey.
He was really in the region where we have an
active war going on. Give us an idea of how
the personnel for that looks different from, say, if President

(41:38):
Trump were going to Florida versus Anchora.

Speaker 11 (41:42):
One thing that the Secret Service domestically relies almost exclusively
on other federal partners in state and local law enforcement. Overseas,
we have to rely upon the host countries law enforcement
and military forces, but we also rely extensively on US
military forces, especially special operations forces that supplement the Secret

(42:03):
Service and supplement the Air Force. One security and Marie
want security when the president is overseas, and in this
case and Turkey was so close to the active war zone,
it was again another barrier that the Secret Service had
to get over engage in their security planning.

Speaker 3 (42:19):
Talking to Patrick Sullivan, twenty three year veteran of the
Secret Service, including on the Presidential Protective Division, Patrick, look,
we've got a few things going on here. We've got
the story about this elaborate scheme that was constructed to
move the president around the airport and put them on
a different aircraft. And we also have the media now

(42:41):
some in the press are saying today, well, they feel
like they were used as a decoy because they were
left on the original plane that President Trump was supposed
to fly on to leave Turkey. Is that the correct
way to look at this? Should they be thinking that
they were decoys? Is that how you see it?

Speaker 12 (42:58):
No, I don't see it that way at all.

Speaker 11 (43:00):
I'd have you and your audience know that there were
many Secret Service agents on that plane. There was most
of the White House staff was on that plane, The
press were on that plane. Air Force personnel are on
that plane. The aircraft the president used has a limited
number of seats, so there were probably the limited number
of Secret Service atents on board. Just a very top

(43:20):
of the President's staff was on that plane. Pilots of course,
the President's pilots through that plane, so it was a
very small group of people.

Speaker 12 (43:28):
And quite frankly, Scott, and no disrespect to our.

Speaker 11 (43:31):
Media colleagues, you could never tell the media about this
because it would definitely leak. It's just impossible, so this
had to be kept top secret.

Speaker 3 (43:40):
Yeah, that was really going to be my last question here.
These kinds of things get planned moving the president around,
particularly in a complicated situation. Like this, there has to
be absolute secrecy because the minute something gets out, of course,
blows the whole plane and you have to come up
with something else. And the intelligence here, it sounds like
it was pretty specific in tell legence that came from

(44:00):
the israelis about a pretty specific Iranian plot. So you
just can't have a leak in this kind of a situation,
can you?

Speaker 11 (44:09):
Absolutely not? And the Secret Service we're pretty good about
keeping a lid on things. And there's no doubt in
my mind every man and woman's Secret Service that involves
in this knew the sensitivity and knew the President's life
is at stake, And I'm one hundred percent confident no
leaks but ever come from the Secret Service in one
of these missions.

Speaker 3 (44:27):
Patrick, you've got about thirty seconds. I'll give you the
last word. You've seen everything that's happened to President Trump,
and you've read this story today. Do you feel good
about the President's safety right now? I know the agents
are doing their job, but he faces a high level
of threats, doesn't it.

Speaker 11 (44:42):
President is facing an unprecedented number of threats right now.
But I have one hundred percent confidence in the leadership
of the Secret Service Director current and Deputy Director Quinn.

Speaker 12 (44:51):
I know them both.

Speaker 11 (44:52):
They're great people. The men and women of the Secret
Service work hard every day. I still have family members
who are Secret Service agents. I stayed here in very
close touch with the Secret Service, and I'm a harmising
confident that the ability to do their job.

Speaker 3 (45:05):
That's Patrick Sullivan, twenty three year veteran of the Secret Service,
worked on the Presidential Protective Division as well.

Speaker 1 (45:11):
Patrick.

Speaker 3 (45:11):
Really appreciate your expertise today. Thanks for coming on.

Speaker 12 (45:15):
Thank you, Scott. I have a great day.

Speaker 5 (45:17):
All right.

Speaker 1 (45:17):
Let's talk supplements.

Speaker 3 (45:19):
When you think about supplements, you're wondering, does this thing work?
And can I trust it well? With relief Factor, I
can tell you the answer to both of those questions
is yes. But I think I'd rather let our customers
do it. In fact, we get letters all the time.
Here here's one from Joni. She said that her husband
could not open his hands in the morning and he
had to give up playing the guitar. Now, Joni says,

(45:40):
her husband wakes up with flexibility and he's back to
playing music again. They are both recommending relief Factor to
their friends as a way to once again enjoy the
things that they love. You could be the next person
giving us your Relief Factor's story. But you got to
try it to get that story, don't you. You call
up one eight hundred relief or you go to relief

(46:02):
factor dot com. A three week supply is just seventeen
dollars and seventy six cents. Do it and then share
with us your relief Factor story. More news after this,
it's Scott Jennings on Salem.

Speaker 1 (46:14):
Stay with us.

Speaker 8 (46:15):
You've heard the narratives, now get the truth. It's the
Scott Jennings.

Speaker 3 (46:19):
Show, Tuesday, August the eleventh, Common Sense for the American people.
Thanks for listening. Quick programming note for yours truly. I'll
be going over to CNN this afternoon at for Eastern
to begin our day's political coverage, and I'll be back
on CNN tonight at nine Eastern with Caitlin Collins as

(46:41):
we cover another election night in America. We have a
number of primaries coming up tonight. The one I'm watching
on the Republican side most closely is down in South Carolina,
where the Republicans have to choose a replacement for Lindsey Graham,
who obviously passed away, but he was running for another term,

(47:04):
and the Republicans had a snap election to determine who
will replace him on the ballots. Interesting story, His sister
Darlene was appointed by the governor to fill out his
existing term, and then I think somewhat unexpectedly, decided to
run for the full six year term that would begin
in January. This was after President Trump said he would

(47:27):
give her the endorsement to do that. That really shook
things up down in South Carolina, but it did not
stop other candidates from getting into the race. Seems to
me the top candidates are Graham, of course, anybody carrying
the president's endorsement would be at the top of the list.
Congressman Ralph Norman, who was just in the gubernatorial primary
but didn't win. Congressman Russell Fry from Myrtle Beach, and

(47:51):
then Mark Sanford, the former governor of South Carolina and
former Congressman He of I'm hiking the Appalachian Trail fame
is also polling I think in the double digits down there.
Runoff provisions apply, so if nobody gets fifty percent, the
top two will advance to another election. Seems to me

(48:12):
that Graham is almost guaranteed to hop in the top
two just based on the President's endorsement, But who will
get that second slot. I'll be watching for that tonight.
We're also paying very close attention to the race up
in Wisconsin. Governor's race in Wisconsin is fascinating. There is
a Democrat socialist up there named Francesca Hong. And of

(48:35):
all the crazy Democrats socialists that we have covered and
that we are learning about on a daily basis, and
I'm telling you this is a high bar, she might
be the craziest.

Speaker 1 (48:48):
But I think she's going to win the primary.

Speaker 3 (48:50):
And if she wins the primary, party strategists in both
parties tend to think Republicans will be favored in the
Wisconsin governor's race. Here's the latest story on Franchesca Hong.
By the way, this comes from the New York Post.
Wisconsin socialist Darling. Francesca Hong was one of just six
lawmakers in the Wisconsin legislature to vote against an anti

(49:13):
child grooming law enacted earlier this year by the Democrat
governor Tony Evers. Let me let you process this for
a moment. Everybody in Wisconsin, basically in both parties, wanted
to do an anti child grooming law sounds like a
pretty good idea. Francesca Hong, serving in the legislature, voted

(49:39):
against it. The law which bars adults from engaging in
a course of conduct, pattern of behavior, or series of
acts with the intention to condition, seduce, solicit, lure, or
entice a child into sexual activity or pornography was in
response to the case of a former school teacher named
Christian Enright, who was found guilty of a slew of

(50:00):
misdemeanor counts for pursuing a relationship with a fourteen year
old student. So something happened in Wisconsin, and you know,
this is what you would expect your legislators to do.
Some story happens, they say, wait a minute, our laws
are not good enough to handle situations like this. So
we're going to update the laws, and they took it
over to the legislature. They're strengthening the anti child grooming laws,

(50:26):
and somehow Francesca Hong voted against it. Now, remember Hong
has routinely express support for defunding and abolishing the police.
So what you have here is a pattern, and this
is not just true of Francesca Hong. You have a

(50:48):
pattern among these democratic socialists of wanting to get rid
of law enforcement, get rid of prisons where you would
put people who sexually abuse children, get that out. And
now add on to that a pattern of using policy
positions to try to stop the strengthening of laws that

(51:10):
would prevent people from doing these things.

Speaker 1 (51:13):
You're sort of left to wonder do.

Speaker 3 (51:16):
They just want complete and total anarchy and chaos in
the streets.

Speaker 1 (51:24):
Under these socialists. There'll be no borders, so people will
fly over the border.

Speaker 3 (51:30):
There'll be no ice to catch illegal immigrants, There'll be
no police to catch violent criminals. There'll be no laws
to stop people from abusing children. This is the socialist future,
and this is coming to Wisconsin. We're going to keep
an eye on this tonight again. I'll be over at
CNN at four and nine Eastern today covering the elections.

(51:51):
Hope you'll join me there, and of course we'll look
into it on the show tomorrow. We'll take a break
and have more news after this. I'm Scott Jennings on Salem.

Speaker 1 (51:58):
Stay but he's done.

Speaker 8 (51:59):
The Office are owning the libs on CNN. He's here
with us. It's the Scott Jennys Show.

Speaker 3 (52:07):
Common Sense for the American people. Tuesday, August eleventh. Common
Sense is on the ballot this fall, and it is
especially on the ballot up in Michigan. We've been talking
about Michigan a lot. There's an important governor's race, there's
a very important Senate race, and there are several important

(52:28):
races for the United States House of Representatives. And we're
going to talk about one of those today. This Michigan
tenth district, made up of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan,
includes southern McComb County and parts of Oakland County. Our
next guest is a third generation Michigander, a US Army veteran,

(52:49):
and the Republican nominee for Michigan's tenth congressional district. Let's
hear what he's telling the voters in Michigan ten.

Speaker 13 (52:56):
In cut ten, I fought for this country abroad, and
I'm going to continue to fight for it in DC.
I believe in my core what we're fighting for, and
so I want to go to DC and not to
play partisan politics, not to get in, and not to
not for power or for.

Speaker 14 (53:10):
Ego or for anything else other than I love this community.

Speaker 12 (53:13):
I'm from here.

Speaker 10 (53:15):
I love our people. I think that we can do
a lot of good things together.

Speaker 13 (53:18):
So I want to go there. I want to represent you.
I want to fight for you. And that's my promise
to you is I'm going to keep fighting just like
I did abroad for you.

Speaker 10 (53:24):
In DC.

Speaker 3 (53:29):
AD Voice, you're hearing there, Michael Bouchard, Republican candidate for Congress,
and he joins US Live to discuss his campaign in
Michigan's tenth district.

Speaker 1 (53:37):
Michael, Welcome to the Scott Jenning Show.

Speaker 14 (53:40):
Scott, thanks so much for having me.

Speaker 12 (53:41):
I'm mi honored to be with you.

Speaker 3 (53:43):
Well, I'm glad you had a little time for us today.
We're talking about Michigan a lot. It seems like the
future of the country runs right through Michigan this year.
Why don't we start here. Tell us about your background.
I know you're a veteran. We'd love to hear about that,
and I'd love to hear about how you decided to
run for office this time around.

Speaker 5 (54:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 14 (54:01):
Well, you know, it's really interesting you started with that
clip because that clip was right after I got back
from Iraq. I actually got back from an army deployment
in Iraq on a Sunday, and on Monday I started
running for this seat. And so that clip was at
a Christmas party about two weeks after I got into
this race. And I never thought that I would be
speaking about stopping what I saw abroad in this country.

(54:22):
Socialism doesn't work. We've seen it in so many other countries.
And when the Berlin Wall came down, did anybody run
towards communists Russia? No, they all ran towards American freedom.
And so my background, I spent a decade in the
army coming out of college. I commissioned as an infantry
officer and served on the hundred first Airborne Division under
Trump won, and I saw how quickly everything unraveled under

(54:43):
Biden and were serving. We were at the southern border,
and we saw how quickly he undid all our progress there.
We were getting ready to send people on a counter
ISSIS mission in Africa, and we saw all the limitations
he put on us there. And I switched to intelligence
in the eighty second Airborn Division, and then we saw
Afghanistan fall. My friends who are serving there, we're runing
back to us. It was one of our sister units.

(55:03):
About how many times the bidoministration fighten administration came and
stopped off what they were doing and put American lives
in danger. And so now with the president back in office,
we've made we've been making a lot of gains. But
as we start seeing a dual side start coming into
this state, it does worry me because we're seeing it
sweep across the country. But Michigan's going to stop them
like a brick wall in November.

Speaker 3 (55:26):
That's Michael Bouchard, Republican candidate for Congress and Michigan's tenth district. Michael,
you know what I love about your race and your
background here is that and what I love about the
contrast setting up in Michigan generally is that we have
candidates like you who have fought for this country. You
have worn the uniform, you have fought to preserve, protect

(55:47):
and defend the United States of America. And then you
have a whole slew of Democrats and Democrats socialist candidates
who are literally just look at their platform, fighting to
tear down from the inside the United States of America.
I think the line is that bright people who want
to defend this country and protect it and build it,

(56:08):
and people who want to tear it down because they
think it's rotten at the Core. As you talk to
voters in Michigan's tenth district, do you feel like that
notion that the future of America is on the ballot
is getting through?

Speaker 14 (56:21):
I absolutely do. In the district, specifically that I live
in and that I'm running in. The people love this country.
I mean I was at a Memorial Day parayed in
Sterling Heights and it was packed. It was eight deep
for two and a half miles because they love this country.

Speaker 1 (56:36):
They were there.

Speaker 14 (56:36):
Everybody's wearing red, white and blue, they were waving flags.
I mean, they love this country. And the person that
I'm running against I jokingly referred to as Abdul Side's
running because Christina Hines believes in the same things he does.
Soft on crime, to fund the police agenda, socialized healthcare,
which he's advocated for multiple times, and amnesty for illegal immigrants.

(56:58):
I mean, these are some of the policies they're bringing in.
But we need to come back to a place where
we can unite as a country instead of people who
want to who are running to pull this country apart.
Brick by brick, I want to build it up with
other Americans. And if some people are saying, you know,
I don't necessarily know if the Republican Party is the answer. Okay,
let's have a conversation, let's find a way to work together.
But I promise you the answer is not socialism.

Speaker 1 (57:21):
Yeah, I agree with you.

Speaker 3 (57:22):
I think a lot of people who maybe they don't
consider themselves to be strong members of either party, they're
just looking for common sense patriots. I think at some
level the threshold question for can I cast my ballot
for you is do you believe in building up this
country or do you believe in tearing it down. It
is sort of astonishing to me that these Democrats in

(57:43):
Michigan are running on tearing it down. They have no
belief in or respect for for the founding principles of
this country. And this idea that we're going to convert
to socialism or communism, that we're going to abolish the police.
Although in the case of your opponent Hines, I know
she ran for prosecutor and she was backed by George Soros,
what little record that she has, it's kind of been

(58:06):
in this idea that we're going to sort of tear
down the societal constructs of protecting the citizenry.

Speaker 1 (58:13):
That ought to be very alarming to the voters in
your district.

Speaker 14 (58:17):
It is, and you're absolutely right. She is a George
Soros back prosecutor. Somebody actually told me earlier today, oh,
you're running against Christina I and she was a prosecutor, right,
And I jokingly said no. She put more criminals on
the streets than she did behind bars. So I think
she's a trial attorney. I think she's a defense attorney.
So I know everyone keeps saying she's got a prosecutorial record.
I love to talk about a record as a prosecutor,

(58:37):
but I don't like what she did as a prosecutor.
She let so many people out who committed heinous acts.
In one case, she let a rapist out on probation.
I mean, this is who I'm running against. I'm not
doing this because I want my name on the side
of a wall or anything. I want my community to
be placed in the best position possible so people can

(58:59):
raise families here and work hard, and they can live
the lives they want in peace. That's what I want.
That's all I care about.

Speaker 3 (59:06):
Michael Bouchard is a Republican candidate for Congress in Michigan's
tenth district. Michael, we were discussing earlier on the program
today some revelations.

Speaker 1 (59:15):
About Abdul l Sayed.

Speaker 3 (59:17):
I told my audience yesterday there was a story in
a news outlet in which had said the Democrat plan
for running for office this fall is to act normal.
And today we found out that Abdul l Sayed, in
addition to everything else we know about him, had to
delete some YouTube videos in which he called for getting
rid of the fourth of July and getting rid of football. Now,

(59:40):
I'm only moderately good at math, but this seems like
it would be pretty unpopular in Michigan.

Speaker 1 (59:44):
Is that your opinion?

Speaker 14 (59:47):
Yeah, and I'll be honest. I was only moderately good
at football, But you know what I mean, These are
better rocks of our country. The fourth of July celebrates
the founding of our country. If you can't celebrate the
founding of our country, why are you running for our country.
We need to come together as a country, not rip
it apart. If you have disagreements with either side, with Republicans,
with Democrats, with the President, with the Speaker, whatever, let's

(01:00:09):
fix those together. But I keep saying this, The answer
is not to go to socialism and tear a country part,
it's never worked anywhere else in the world. He keeps
saying that we're the most prosperous nation in the world,
so we owe the people better. Okay, so let's do
some deductive reasoning. If we're the most prosperous nation in
the world. But your answer is to rip it apart,
I just don't see that logic coming together. We got

(01:00:31):
to this point because we've been using common sense and
we've been running as a country that loves to stand
up for freedom. That's the way we keep going forward.
That's the way we make change. That's how we start
delivering results for Americans, not ripping out apart.

Speaker 1 (01:00:44):
By our veteranic.

Speaker 3 (01:00:46):
Michael, I've been in Michigan several times in the last year,
and every time I've come I've had.

Speaker 1 (01:00:51):
An amazing visit.

Speaker 3 (01:00:52):
I've met all sorts of nice people, and I've met
people who clearly love this country and they're looking for
they're looking for common sense.

Speaker 1 (01:01:02):
I'll tell you what I did not meet.

Speaker 3 (01:01:03):
I didn't meet anybody who I considered to be angry, violent,
hateful when it comes to America. But when you look
at the supporters of Abdul l Sied and the fact
that they are so violent and so honery that your
state's attorney general, a Democrat who's Jewish, says she can't

(01:01:25):
even go to the Democrat convention because she's afraid for
her safety. And when I see Abdul Lsiyed campaigning with
Hassan Piker, who has said we deserve nine to eleven,
and who says the streets will run red with the
blood of the capitalists, these folks have a real violent
streak in them. And it's not theoretical, it's sort of actionable.

(01:01:48):
When you've got a statewide official in Michigan who's afraid
for her own safety, it's kind of crazy up.

Speaker 10 (01:01:53):
There, it is.

Speaker 14 (01:01:55):
And you know what I promise that I will make,
that I've made since I graduate college, is I will
stand between Hassan Piker and the people of this country.
For somebody to say that we deserve nine to eleven,
tell that to the thousands of Americans who died at
nine eleven, Tell that to the tens of thousands of
family members who lost loved ones, And tell that to
the thousands of US service members who died abroad trying

(01:02:16):
trying to make sure that that never happened again. Here okay,
so Abdul said says, oh, Hassan Piker made some dumb comments.
You are who you surround yourself with, Abdul, and the
fact that you continue to hang out with Hasan Piker
shows what your true beliefs are. I mean, Abdul also,
I don't want to let him off the hook. He
justified the attack in Temple Israel. I responded to Temple
Israel attack as a reserve deputy, and Abdul al side

(01:02:38):
is justifying its attack. I mean, this is where our
country is going to and if we don't stop it now,
it's going to have some very dire consequences.

Speaker 10 (01:02:45):
By the way, this year eleven months. Sorry, go ahead, Scott.

Speaker 3 (01:02:50):
Well, well, I think you made a great point about
the synagogue attack. I mean what Abduel Sayed said was that, well,
you know, hurt people, hurt people. I mean, that's how
you would justify any and all political violence.

Speaker 1 (01:03:04):
Well, you know, hurt people. They hurt people, and I.

Speaker 3 (01:03:07):
Mean you could see them applying that to virtually anything
that's a that is a dangerous mindset.

Speaker 1 (01:03:15):
Yeah, yeh, Scott.

Speaker 14 (01:03:16):
That was a preschool that a man drove into with
a car full of explosives and fireworks and firearms. That
was a preschool they were trying to tell me anything
justifies that. The fact that you believe that should disqualify you.

Speaker 10 (01:03:30):
From running for office in this country.

Speaker 3 (01:03:33):
All right, Michael Bouchard, you are the Republican. You're running
in the tenth district of Michigan. You are a US
Army veteran. You served in the eighty second and one
hundred and first Airborne Divisions. You were deployed to Iraq
and to our southern border. You earned a Bronze Star
for your work on a joint task force that was
fighting against ISIS. You're out there fighting against terrorism with

(01:03:56):
your life, and people like abdul Lsia that are out
there excusing it or coddling it with theirs. The bright
lines here are very very clear.

Speaker 1 (01:04:06):
People want to help your campaign. Where can they find you?

Speaker 14 (01:04:10):
Please go to Bushard for Congress dot com. Bushard for
Congress dot Com is b O U C.

Speaker 2 (01:04:15):
H ar D.

Speaker 14 (01:04:16):
And I appreciate it, Scott, because we really do need
to stand up to this together.

Speaker 1 (01:04:20):
We really do.

Speaker 3 (01:04:21):
I think a lot of Americans, and frankly in Michigan,
I think a lot of Democrats are not going to
be able to pull the lever for these anti American
radicals that have taken over the Michigan Democratic Party. Mike Bouchard,

Speaker 1 (01:05:43):
More news after this Scott Jennings, Steve wis at the
Leftists haven't had enough yet, There's more. This is the
Scott Jenning Show, and welcome back to the show.

Speaker 3 (01:05:51):
You know, one of the things we like to do
here on The Scott Jennings Show is blow the lid
off of fake media narratives. And I want to do
that here as we found out our Tuesday show. Let
me set the stage for you. November twenty twenty three,
so this is right after October the seventh and a
Muslim man is shot outside of a mosque. The media

(01:06:13):
begins reporting on it and they say it's a religious
hate crime, they say it's Islamophobia. As it turns out,
none of that was true. My next guest is Islamic
expert doctor Andrew Boston. He's authored six books on Islam
and he has released his findings after an eighteen month

(01:06:33):
investigation of this incident, which took place in Providence, Rhode Island.
Doctor Boston, Welcome into the Scott Jennings show. I'm going
to stop there and let you pick up the ball.
This is an incredible investigation. Tell us what you found.

Speaker 10 (01:06:46):
Thanks first of all, thanks very much for having me, Scott.

Speaker 14 (01:06:48):
So.

Speaker 15 (01:06:50):
I was initially interested in this mosque because I gave
a lecture in a suburb of Providence at the end
of right now, a week before Christmas in twenty twenty four.
I had given examples, unfortunate examples of sermons preached across
the United States which were had hateful content, and I
was asked, had I ever listened to any of the
sermons in Rhode Island?

Speaker 10 (01:07:10):
And I had to admit I hadn't.

Speaker 15 (01:07:12):
And then, if you recalled, there was that horrific vehiculogy
hottist attack on New Year's Day in twenty twenty five,
and I was a Wednesday, and I just decided, having
been prompted, to listen to a local mosque after that attack.
And it happened to me this particular mosque, which already
by then fourteen months earlier, where this incident had occurred,

(01:07:34):
and I was shocked by what I heard. So the
sermon no condolence expressed about what had happened, and the
email launched right into very negative churanic verses about non
Muslims in English, but then ended in Arabic with a
call to fight the disbelievers and the infidels again two

(01:07:57):
days after New Orleans, and then it dawned on me, well,
what had ever happened with that investigation of the so
called Islamophobic shooting. And I began to delve into the
investigation and ultimately got the police report. And the police
report was quite shocking because they did have a prime suspect,

(01:08:17):
and it was a.

Speaker 10 (01:08:17):
Muslim name, and it turns out it's the only suspect,
you know, all these months later.

Speaker 15 (01:08:25):
And then I also that was now a public record,
and the victim had always been a public record, and
I was shocked at the local investigations, the reporters, etc.

Speaker 10 (01:08:34):
Had never looked into the victim's background.

Speaker 15 (01:08:37):
He had a criminal background, was in prison for five
years commuted twenty year sentence for not only manufacturing but
distributing jugs. The only suspect was a tragic case of
a recidius criminal who's still only twenty three years old,
has multiple drug and firearms arrests and marceny arrests, and

(01:08:58):
none of this had been looked into by by the
local press.

Speaker 3 (01:09:01):
And so what your investigation uncovered pretty easily was that
this was not a case of Islamophobia, although the media
and the politicians certainly painted it that way. The Rhode
Island House in fact featured this islamophobic shooting and a
resolution that it passed in February of twenty twenty four

(01:09:22):
condemning islamophobia. The resolution said it is believed that mister
Ramos was a target based solely on his faith. This
entire narrative, according to your work, was totally made up
in service of this idea that Islamophobia instead of anti
Semitism as a problem in this country. But none of
it was true. It's incredible, none.

Speaker 10 (01:09:43):
Of it was true.

Speaker 15 (01:09:44):
And really, Scott, I, as a private citizen, although I
guess I have some respect as a physician as an academic,
I contacted all the media, all the politicians like you
mentioned on that resolution, the Mayor of Providence, just to say, look,
the Muslim community should be reassured this was not islamophobic shooting.

(01:10:04):
And oh, by the way, you really need to pay
attention to the anti Christian, anti Semitic pro ghid sentiments
being expressed routinely at this mosque and using this incident,
you know, to give them impunity from criticism. It's very
cynical and it's very destructive to communal harmony.

Speaker 10 (01:10:22):
Nothing.

Speaker 15 (01:10:23):
And this evolved over the entire eighteen months, just until
this report was put out in Real Real Clear Investigations,
and then even a follow up New York Post story
on this story which amplified and showed there were other
phony Islamophobic incidents, and there's still no response.

Speaker 3 (01:10:40):
Scott, Well, what we've learned in America these days is
that narrative and propaganda is more important than the facts.
But what you've done with your investigation, which was printed
at Real Clear Investigations, I encourage you everyone to go
read it, is that there was no Islamophobia here. You've
proven it. This was a tragic case. But we have

(01:11:01):
to be able to separate narratives from the truth, and
that's what you've done. Doctor Andrew Boston is our guest.
He's got a piece up at Real Clear Politics Investigations,
anatomy of the Islamophobic shooting that wasn't I encourage you
to read it. And that's it for the Scott Jennings
Show today. Thanks for listening. We'll be back with more tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (01:11:18):
Take care,
