Speaker 1: Welcome to another episode of The Chicks on the Right podcast.
You guys, it's our favorite guest. He hardly even needs
an introduction at this point. You've seen him on CNN,
you now are listening to him on the radio. He's
got a new book out that we're going to talk about.
It is our bff, Jenny.
Speaker 2: I have to purr, okay, thank you so much. It's
it is always an honor to hear your voices, which
I hear most every day because I listen to your
amazing show and podcast. Well that's it, and your clips
and all the things you all do. So congratulations on
your huge following, and it's honor to be with you today.
Speaker 3: Congratulations on your book and on the new show and
everything that's going on in your life.
Speaker 4: Just so thrilled for you.
Speaker 3: You should, first of all, you should tell us a
little bit about the book. Let's talk about the book first.
Speaker 2: Yes, glad to do that. I pitched the President on
a book about roughly the first one hundred days of
his administration in February, and he agreed to help me
out with it, and so I've been working on it
and the final, final, final, final version is just about
to go into the publisher. It's called a Revolution of
Common Sense, and it will be published on November eighteenth.
I had the idea for the title when I heard
the President say it in his inaugural address there in
the Capitol rotunda. And so it's a book about some
of the decisions that he made and the issues that
came up early on in the administration that I thought were,
you know, sort of the examples of where he was
on the side of common sense, and you know, therefore
his opposition was on the side of uncommon nonsense, given
their reflexive opposition to everything that he does. I did
spend a little time with the President. I interviewed several people,
interviewed elon which is interesting. But anyway, it comes out
in November, and and you know, I started writing it
about the first hundred days. I was able to get
in some stuff that happened after that. But yeah, it's
been a hard work, but it's almost done.
Speaker 5: So do you like feel like it?
Speaker 1: Do you feel like it's like every single day that
passes you're like, ah, dang, And I got to add
another chapter.
Speaker 2: Yes. I originally thought it would be easy to write
a book about a topic while it was going on,
and that turned out to be the exact opposite. I
feel like I've written the book five times so and
so it was hard because he had, you know, he
put so many balls in the air and had so
many issues going at once, and things were happening, and
you know, cases were being decided in the courts and
decisions were being made, and so it it it changed
a lot over time. And then, of course, you know,
I thought one of the dominant players of the first
hundred days was Elon Musk. He got a lot of coverage,
was a big deal. And then of course, right at
the end of the one hundred days a little beyond that,
he you know, got been out of shape and left
the White House. So I had to sort of address
that later in the Elon chapter about Doge. So it
was hard to do while it was going on. So
that was a lesson learned, but it was fun to do.
Not only is it about some of the interviews I did,
but also just from my perch at CNN, you know,
analyzing this stuff every day, I sort of had I
think a unique viewpoint about how official Washington, the media,
and the Democrats were absorbing everything Trump was overwhelming them
with on a daily basis.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was going to ask that.
Speaker 3: I was going to ask, like if you had to
address the whole Elon Trump thing. You answered that question
for me. But then also, who else did you interview? Like,
who would besides the president and besides Elon, who would
be your favorite interview the person?
Speaker 2: Great question, you know. I think the stars of the
book in some ways, and really the stars of the
first six months other than the President and his excellent
chief of staff and senior staff, I think are Rubio
and Bessent. I interviewed them both. They both were very
generous with their time, and there's significant quotations from both
of them in the book. I think they were both
sort of the main players on so many fronts. You know,
Bestent obviously not just on negotiating trade deals after the
Tariff Liberation Day, but also you know, he was the
quarterback to get the big beautiful bill over the finish
line at the end. And for Rubio, having taken on
so many roles foreign affairs, reorganizing the State Department, also
a key player, you know, in dealing with some of
the migration crisis, the visa issues, these things that were
sort of dominant on the immigration front. I think those
two guys, honestly, and I believe this as I sit
here today, just after the six month mark, have been
inspired picks. I think many of his choices have been great.
I think those two stand out to me as the
key players.
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. So you now are back on the
radio airwaves? What is it two weeks in?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 5: Are you two weeks in?
Speaker 2: I'm in the second week and so almost almost ready
to finish my second week. We're on Salem. Oh, can
I go back to the book one second? Yeah? Yeah,
if you want to order it, you can order it now.
You go on Amazon or wherever you buy your books.
It comes out in November the eight but pre order it.
Just type in a Revolution of common Sense Scott Jennings
and it'll pop up. There's a picture of Trump on
the cover. I asked him if he wanted to pick
the photo, so they sent over a photo and I'm
pretty sure he likes it. So you'll see an amazing
photo of the president on there. But anyway, if you
pre order it, you'll get it before Christmas.
Speaker 4: So yeah, it's a great Christmas President. I was just good.
That's a fantastic one. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Regarding the radio, Yes, we're coming into the end of
the second week here and it's going great. We're on
to three Eastern every day on Salem Radio. That's syndicated
nationally on Salem stations. Some places pick it up and
replay it at different times, but we're live two to three.
I come on after Charlie Kirk and before Hugh Hewitt,
who who both have excellent radio shows. You know, an
hour of radio is not a lot, you know, it's
really only about thirty three minutes of remember of content.
And when I was a kid, when I was a teenager,
my first job was in a radio station. When I
was in college, I was a radio news anchor in Louisville, Kentucky,
And so getting back on the radio was a dream
come true. So I'm really appreciative of Salem for giving
me the chance. We put a lot of work into it.
And today actually a little sad about today's show because
Hulk Hogan has right before we started this has passed away.
Speaker 4: Oh and as if you all know, news to us.
Speaker 2: Oh good hero. So I'll probably lead the show today
with news of the Hulkster's death and some comment about
what that means to me and what my god, guys.
I met him at the convention last summer. He, by
the way, gave the greatest convention speech in the history
of the convention.
Speaker 4: Scott, I think that that's the number three.
Speaker 3: I always tell Mark that they happened in threes, and
it was like Malcolm Jamal Warner, and then Ozzy Osbourne
and now him.
Speaker 4: I think that's the third one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been just been a crushing week for some
of these you know, you think about the nineteen eighties,
like those three guys you just mentioned were such a
minute cultural icons for the eight I mean for a
very long period of time, and all had huge followings
and loyal fan bases, and so, yeah, it's been a
crushing week. You know. I had wanted to meet Hulk
Hogan for forty years and I finally met him last
summer at the convention and it was, you know, it
was I met him with David Axelrod. We went down
to the bottom of the arena and met him and
he was, you know, he was a little nervous about speaking. Yes,
his hand was shaking a little, and I said, gosh,
I said, are you nervous? And he said, I've never
done politics, brother and lesson, and I said, well, you
body slammed Andre the Giant in front of ninety thousand people,
I think it'll be okay. And he goes out and
delivers this amazing speech and he rips off the shirt.
I've never seen a political crowd really that electric over
someone other than a presidential candidate, and so I just
it was I'm glad I finally met him. I told
him that I thought about ninety percent of the conversations
I had with my dad were about what happened to
him the night before, So if it hadn't been for him,
I'm not sure what we would have talked about. And
so I'm sure a lot of people feel this way.
But anyway, so fur the radio having a live show
kind of constantly, as you all know, reacting to what's
going on, and this will this will be what I'm
reacting to today.
Speaker 4: Yeaow.
Speaker 1: So, I mean people have been speculating, and I know
You've been asked this question before on other shows, but
you've got this book, you've got the show, and you
do the CNN thing. Does this all lead up to
a potential run for office?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I haven't made any announcements on that front, and
don't intend to make any today. I haven't ruled anything
in or out.
Speaker 4: But when you do, you'll come back, right.
Speaker 2: It'll be the first place that I go. Okay, for money,
I'll just be here to have But I but I
you know, it's it's on my mind. Not necessarily in
the short run, but certainly. You know, at some point
in my life. My grandfather wasn't likeed official and when
I was a kid, you know, he was a Democrat.
But I just you know, it's always been around my life,
and I revere people who run for office really have
either party. It takes a lot of guts to put
your name on a ballot. Yeah, regarding the Kentuch Senate race,
it's vital that it remained in Republican hands. There are
three people running, and you know, I know them all actually,
and I've helped them all at various stages of their careers,
and so I'm kind of like every other Republican in Kentucky.
I'm watching to see how it unfolds. But don't really
have any news to make on that front right now,
other than to say that is a seat that we
have to keep in Republican hands McConnell. You know, he's
won seven times and it had been a pretty reliable
Republican seat, and we need somebody to be in there
who can strongly support the President's agenda. And so that's
what we'll be working on in Kentucky next year.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, I will say we need more normal
people to be in office. I think that's one of
the things that as you know, as a bombastic as
Trump is, he still represents normal America. He represents real Americans,
and so I think it's refreshing to see normal people
go and run for that still want to do it,
even though it's such a cutthroat.
Speaker 4: Awful place to be.
Speaker 3: So the fact that you even would consider it would
be a It's a wonderful thing because you are a
normal guy who is you know, who has morals and ethics,
and so it would be great to have you in politics,
as there's not a lot of good normal guys anymore
on politics.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm honored by your statements and your confidence. I
do think one thing about Trump is that he has
inspired people who may not have thought of running before
right to try to try it out. You know, he
had not run for office before he ran for president,
and you know, you look at him, and you look
at all the attacks and the slings and arrows he's
taken on over time, and so and so it has
been brutal. But in the brutality, there is something inspiring
about it, which is, you know, if you get into
it and you're willing to absorb the punishment, you can
do great things. I mean, you can be part of history.
You can make major changes and work on the issues
that you care about. And so I do think he's
inspired a lot of new Republicans, frankly, to consider something
maybe they would not have considered before.
Speaker 4: I have hope that's true.
Speaker 1: So I have watched you on CNN enough lately to
know kind of how you're probably going to answer any
discussion about Epstein, because I know you want you want,
and we do too. We want people to be focusing
on Trump's wins, because there are so many, but because
the focus seems to be on Epstein, and with some
good reason, because we contend that this whole issue has
been kind of botched by the White House and maybe
not even Trump himself, but certainly by some members of
his team. And it's almost created more like interest and
like drama about it. And so, how do you think
this is ultimately going to resolve, because now it's like
Republicans and Democrats are fighting each other to see who
cares about the issue more. When Democrats had four years
to care about it and they didn't, well, let.
Speaker 2: Me start where you ended, which is the hypocrisy of
the Democrats. They didn't care about this until five minutes ago.
And just this morning I was on and a Democrat
sparring partner of mine said, you know, it's a cover
up and Trump is hiding the records to cover up
for these rich oligarchs and whatever. And I said, well,
if it's a cover up today, who was Joe Biden
covering up for when he had the records in his
custom So and so the hypocrisy of Democrats here, to me,
I think everybody sees through it. That's number one. Number two.
You know, traditionally in public relations, if you're dealing with
a situation like this, you would just do everything you're
going to do and do it all at once and
be done with it. And now this thing has been
kind of a slow, you know, back and forth, and
you know, look, the president has and what's he done.
He told the Attorney General to put out anything that
was credible. He said, go get the grand jury records,
which a federal judge is stopping them from doing at
the moment. And then you know, we get this Wall
Street Journal store today. You know that that says his
name is in the records, But then if you read
four or five paragraphs down, it says, you know, it's
all unverified hearsay.
Speaker 5: And we've known his name is in there.
Speaker 4: I mean, so what we knew.
Speaker 2: They were friends, and we also knew he disowned him
when it became clear he was a total creep. Everybody
knows this this is, but I feel like it's being regurgitated,
like this is some revelation when you know it's really not.
The Washington Post a few days ago ran in fact
check and said, look, if there were anything criminal or
wrong about Donald Trump and these records, we're confident we
would know about it.
Speaker 3: So I think years ago, yeah.
Speaker 2: I think what they're trying to do. You know, the
Democrats here in the media, frankly, are trying to keep
this ball bouncing long enough to create a narrative and
set the concrete a little bit that somehow Trump was
somehow involved in the wrongdoing, in the criminal wrongdoing, even
though that's not true, even though he's never been charged,
even though there's it's never been any credible allegation of that.
You know, if you can get enough people to believe it, it
just sort of becomes part of the political firmament. We've
seen this story before. It happened on Russia. Half the
country and one entire political party to this day believes
Russia stole the twenty sixteen election, even though the Senate
report says they didn't change a single vote, even though
there's no evidence at all of any collusion between Russia
and Donald Trump. There was an effort made to create
a narrative that that's what happened. And guess what, it
worked because an entire party believes that. It is an
article of faith for Democrats that Russia stole the election,
and there's trying to make it so it is an
article of faith that Donald Trump got away with some
criminal wrongdoing with Jeffrey Epstein. So I don't know how
it's going to end. I assume something will eventually come out.
There are a lot of people who are curious. I'm curious.
I think we're all curious. But my curiosity on this
doesn't take away from what I think has been a
tremendous six months of what I voted for on immigration,
on the economy, on the you know, pushing back against
the cultural lurch to the left. I mean, on front
after front after front. This is what I voted for.
And so, you know, do I want more on this
other thing? Could we do more on that? Maybe, But
in no way, shape or form does it diminish my enthusiasm.
And if you look at the polling, he's not lost
a single an inch of ground with Republicans since the
Epstein things started. In fact, he's gone up among Republicans.
In the Fox poll last night, of everybody who said
they disapproved of Trump, only one percent said Epstein was
the reason. And of that one percent, it was only
Democrats and independence. Not a single Republican disapproved of him
on Epstein. So I think also they want to create
this idea that Republicans are abandoning Trump. Nothing could be
further from the truth. So how it ends, I don't know,
And I assume there's a lot of people calling congressional
offices demanding answers which you know, fine, but you know,
obviously something's got to happen over the next few weeks
because eventually the House is going to come back into
session and votes are going to be taken.
Speaker 3: One of the things that we see is, you know,
because we watch our comments every morning, is we have
a really tight knit community when we do our show,
and you know, we see a lot of just fatigue,
general fatigue and like these hearings and stuff like that.
And you mentioned the Russia Russia, Russian thing, and I
think it's like when it comes to the Epsteine thing,
and it comes to the Obama thing, and it comes.
Speaker 4: To you know, listen.
Speaker 3: I think the people that we talk to every morning,
i'd say the biggest percentage of them are totally stoked
about all the things that Trump has done, including us.
But I think that the thing that they're most disillusioned
about is that there is a double standard. There was
a double standard back when Biden was president, and Democrats
are held to a different like judicial standard than Republicans were.
Speaker 4: Right, we all saw it. There's a huge double standard.
Speaker 3: And then now they're like, nothing's gonna happen like with
this Russia Russia, Russia stuff because you know, we see
people like being called out for it, but then is
anything ever going to happen, because no, they're just a
disillusion with government. So and the lack of accountability, right,
the lack of accountability on the part of well on
their side, and so I think that is what people
are fatigued by.
Speaker 4: And I just I.
Speaker 3: Hope that there we just want to see like one
person help, just one just maybe just one like little person, maybe.
Speaker 4: Just carted off to jail in an orange jumpsuit just
for doing something wrong.
Speaker 3: Because if it were me and I didn't think my taxes,
I would go to jail, you see.
Speaker 4: What I'm saying.
Speaker 3: And I think that's where normal everyday people are just
so pissed off and they're so disillusioned. And I hope
that somebody's held accountable for just one of the awful,
terrible things that they've done, because that's that's what we
see at least.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the the issue with Russia and what happened as
Trump was coming in and Obama was going out. I mean,
obviously they referred this matter and all the documents and
information over to the Department of Justice. It deserves to
be looked into. Because what is clear is that senior
people in our government, who were committed Democrats, partisan Democrats,
abuse their position to convince half the country that Russia
had still on the election. I mean, that's what they
wanted people to believe. They work with the media to
do it. I mean I sat. I started with CNN
in twenty seventeen. I sat night after night after night
after night, Russia panel after Russia panel after Russia panel.
We covered this NonStop. It was all the media could
talk about for the first two years of Donald Trump's presidency.
And what happened is a narrative took hold that Russia
had stolen the election for Trump. And it's not true.
It's not what the intelligence assessments have said. But the
fact that an entire political party in half the country
believes that. I totally agree with you. Why shouldn't there
be accountability if people willfully misled the American people and
abused their positions to do that, that's not right. It
is so. And then you fast forward to with Biden,
same situation. You had people in the government willfully misleading
the American people about the condition of the president. Now
they're being hauled in and guess what they're all taking
the Fifth Amendment. Well, there's a reason for that. And
today as we speak, Ron Klain, who was chief of
staff in the Biden white House, is being interviewed by
the House Oversight Committee. Will there be accountability for that?
It seems to me that over time we find that Democrats,
when they have the government, when they have the White House,
are very cavalier about abusing their positions to mislead the
American people to change public opinion in a way that
just isn't true. And so what is the criminality? What
kind of accountability can you have for that abuse? We
need something. I hear people say the word constitutional crisis
all the time. You tell me what the crisis is.
When people at the whole positions of trust willfully mislead
the American people and sort of distort our national politics
seems pretty bad to.
Speaker 1: Me, and worse than just the idea the narrative that
they put out there that Russia interfered with the election.
That was bad enough on its own, but it's that
they said specifically repeatedly that Trump was in on it,
that he was part of the collision, when there is
no basis in reality for that.
Speaker 5: And they can just get away with that is unthinkable.
Speaker 2: That's what they wanted people to believe. And if you
look at the polling now, I think Rasmussen had a
survey the other day the Democrats, overwhelming number of Democrats
believe that Trump and the Russians conspired to steal the
twenty sixteen election. It is an article of faith for
a Democrat. If you went to a Democrat political dinner
right now and you were standing in front of the
crowd and someone asked you point blank, did they steal
the election? If you don't say yes, you'll be booed
out of the room.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 2: It is a bedrock article of faith for them that
that's what happened. And so it's not good for the country,
I mean, frankly, for people who are talking about democracy
all the time. What undermines democracy more than to lie
to people about how the twenty sixteen election went down,
which was Ronald Trump shocked the world he'd beat Hillary Clinton.
Because they were so in shock and needed an excuse
for that loss, they invented this lie in order to
basic delegitimize the presidency of Donald Trump, which, by the way,
for an entire political party. They succeeded.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, they just eroded away at people's trusts
and government. It just is so similar to what they
did during COVID and how we feel about public health
now and.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 3: It's a ripple effect and it has ramifications, it has consequences,
and they.
Speaker 4: Got to stop doing that. They really do.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they believe there are many people on the left
who believe that because they are morally superior, it is
within their rights and boundaries to say whatever they need
to say to get you to change your behavior, whether
that's political behavior or wearing a mask or whatever. I'm
morally superior, I know better than you. Therefore I'm allowed
to make up a narrative to get you to alter
your behavior in order to make you better in my image.
Basically is what they're trying to do. And it's despicable.
And so what happens is what you said. Ultimately, it
craters trust and instantians and they don't understand that. But
they think it's okay to destroy institutions because again, I'm
moral and you're not. Yeah, well, and to that the
ends justify the means.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And to that point, they keep amazingly they keep
aligning themselves and defending the indefensible.
Speaker 5: So they want to you know, rip down attack ICE agents.
Speaker 1: They and they want to side with all the crazy protesters,
the pro Hamas people on campuses, and it's just like
how how are they aligning and why do they think
that that's a good strategy to align with criminals all
the time.
Speaker 2: Same thing on you. You just named two issues where
they're doing it. Immigration. I mean, I've heard the words
kidnapping on television time. God, I've heard the word disappearing
on television time and again. I've heard very generic tales
of American citizens being kidnapped and never heard from again,
completely false. I've heard attacks on ICE agents rhetorically, which
then leads to physical attacks on ICE agents. I've heard
Democrat members of Congress deny or pretend that they don't
know that these attacks are happening. I mean, these things
have consequences. And then you know, it's amazing. We played
this game all the time. Go out for six or
eight weeks and lie about something, and then take a
poll and say, gee, whiz, why does everybody you know
hate ICE? Or why does everybody hate because we lie
to them for eight weeks and we've We've fed them
a line of bs and now they don't know what
to think, and so you know, we play this game
all the time on the campus protesters. Yeah, I mean,
I mean, what we talk about in Western media about
what's going on in Israel in Gaza is so distorted
and not even within the realm of what's really happening
over there. And we've completely and totally brainwashed, especially these
kids on college campuses totally. It's out, it's completely outraged.
Look what's happening right now with the humanitarian Aid. There's
hundreds of trucks sitting there. The food is rotting because
the United Nations will not allow it to be delivered.
Imagine hating Israel so much that you'll allow the food
to rot just to further the idea or the narrative,
the untrue narrative that Israel is somehow at fault for this.
The United Nations and Hamas are essentially partners in starving
the Palestinian people. That's what's happening. And it's a travesty.
Speaker 5: I'm getting all ragy about it just here. You talk
about it again. Yeah, this is what takes me so angry.
Speaker 4: We talk about it a lot Scott and we get you.
Speaker 3: And people on the right are starting to fall into
that category where they're like, oh my god, are you
being paid by Israel.
Speaker 4: To talk about this? And we get we get it
all the time, and we're like, okay, this is just nuts.
Speaker 3: So a lot of you know, younger people, I say
younger people, millennial age people are falling into that. Even
older people are falling into that category where they're starting
to fall in line with that way of thinking.
Speaker 4: We don't get it, We just don't get it.
Speaker 2: Understand, this is an easy thing. First thing you should
ask yourself is who are the good guys and who
are the bad gas? Right? The good gas are Israel.
They're the ones who are fighting this terror network, the
octopus over in the Middle East. The head of it
is Iran, and it has these tentacles. One of the
tentacles is Hamas, another is the hoothy Rebels, another was Hesibola.
But what Israel has done, with Donald Trump's help now
is start to defeat this terror octopus and it makes
us safer, it makes the regions safer. And what's happening
as a result, the Abraham Accords are going to be expanded.
I mean, we might have a period of peace in
the Middle East, unlike we've seen in quite some time,
all because Israel had the courage to fight and Donald
Trump had the courage to strike Iran when he did,
it was a good partnership. They're the good guys. The
people who came in and raped and murdered and marauded
on October the seventh, they're the bad guys, and people
should know.
Speaker 5: Yes, how is this even a question? I know, I
don't get it.
Speaker 4: We don't. Yeah, it's remarkable.
Speaker 3: It's just remarkable to me how people can it can
be on the other side, I don't get it, and
then question us for saying that.
Speaker 4: These are the good guys. These the bad guys. It's
pretty clear.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I have been a steadfast supporter of Israel
and my commentary on this. I don't know how you
look at the events of October the seventh and I
went to Israel. I was there when the war started.
Speaker 5: We were going to have that was amazing. Yeah, that
all happened.
Speaker 2: With you there before the war started. We went around,
I went to the Gaza border, I went to the
site of the Nova Music Festival. Let me tell you something.
The atrocities committed against those kids who were at that
music festival. They weren't just murdered, they were brutalized. They
were taking young women into a tent, having thirty five
terrorists do a gang rape on these women. They were
forcing their boyfriends to watch. They were mutilating their bodies afterwards,
and then they were murdered. That's what Hamas did to
these kids. They took some of them hostage. There's still
people from that Nova site that are being held hostage
right now. I met with one of the hostage's mothers,
and you know, six hundred and fifty six days, I
think she's been waiting for her son to come home.
And you look at what Hamas is saying today, Well,
we want twenty two hundred Palestinian terrorists, you know, taken
a release, so we'll give you ten live hostages. God,
they're not serious people. They don't want to release the hostages.
They don't want this to be over. They want to
continue to be a hub of terrorism until I think
we just internalize this. They're never gonna give up these
hostile I'm at this point. They have rendered themselves totally unserious,
and I'm totally fine if Israel ends up just going
in and completely and totally finishes the job here, because
all they have to do is let those people go
and this can all end.
Speaker 4: You're absolutely right.
Speaker 2: The fact that they won't tell you everything you need
to know about them.
Speaker 5: You mean you don't believe that it's a genocide.
Speaker 2: This is the population of gossip has gone up in
the last two years, right exactly.
Speaker 1: And it's it would be the worst, like they would
be the worst genociders ever given their military capabilities. If
they wanted to genocide Gaza, it would be gone already.
And yet they send warnings to civilians saying we're coming into.
Speaker 5: Attack, get out of these areas.
Speaker 1: They send it humanitarian aid and all of these ridiculous
people calling it a genocide.
Speaker 5: I can't believe that people have bought that narrative.
Speaker 2: And they really all the rules, you know, the rules
of war. They follow the rules. Hamas does nothing. I
went when I was in Israel. I'm just going to
tell you a graphic story, and I'm sorry if it
is an upsetting but if people need to hear it.
I went to Mount Hertzel, which is effectively their Arlington Cemetery,
where the soldiers are buried, and there was a like
a nineteen year old soldier. He was killed in the
fighting on October the seventh. His body was recovered. Initially
it had been decapitated. They buried his body without a head.
Some weeks later, a military unit went back in and
cleared out a building in Gaza, a civilian building. They
were in there. They went into a place. It had
a freezer. They opened the freezer drawer. This soldier's head
was in the drawer. The civilians in there intended to
sell it on the black market for like ten thousand dollars.
Oh my god, this is the brutal is a that
we're dealing with over there. I went to Kibbutz on
the Gaza border. I met with the people who were
had their homes and little farming community invaded October the seventh,
and listened to the tales of the brutalization, the murder,
the kidnappings, the actual kidnappings that went on. You know,
that's where the Beavis family lived, you know that mother
and the little babies. You cannot go there and talk
to the people who experienced it. Did not come away
vibratingly angry that this sort of sub human barbarism. It's
loud in the world. And then also to think that
there are people who've decided that Hamasa is the good
guys and Israel is the bad guys.
Speaker 4: Americans have decided that.
Speaker 2: What happened on October the seventh, who came where? What
did they do when they got there? The atrocities. No
one wants to talk about the sexual atrocities at Nova
because it's barbaric. But I'm convinced that more people knew
about it, the outrage would grow. That's I've been you know,
it's hard to say out loud what you heard happened firsthand,
but but it did happen, and we just you know,
it's barbarism. We got to be able to tell the
dearerchtwen right and wrong. It's pretty silly for life, and
in this case it'll be a good rule for politics too,
for your animals.
Speaker 3: And I'm glad. I'm glad you're saying it out loud.
Scott HM, I'm glad.
Speaker 5: It needs to hear.
Speaker 4: It does need to be heard.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, Well we're going to majorly switch gears because
that was really super depressing. And so now we've asked
a number of people this question. It's totally pop culture related,
but we want to give you an opportunity to answer
it too, because so far we've asked Dave Rubin about it,
who is a gay man. We've talked to each other
about it, We've heard Megan Kelly's take on it.
Speaker 5: But there is a viral clip.
Speaker 1: Of j Lo going around right now from a recent
performance of hers, and we want to know from you,
a straight, happily married, heterosexual male, if she has crossed
a line, if she's too old to be behaving this way,
and at what point it becomes cram versus sexy. So
our producer is going to play the clip and we can.
Speaker 6: Just talk about So here is this pas performance she
live performing at an She's fifty five, and these are
her dancers and her extensions and her and her extensions.
Speaker 1: So is this sexy or is this crunch?
Speaker 2: She's fifty five?
Speaker 4: Fifty five, she's fifty five.
Speaker 3: I mean, this is why we're asking, This is why
we're asking her.
Speaker 2: Like it was just a number. And if I'm fifty
five and I look like I'm thirty five, maybe I'll
have a show in Vegas. That's an I don't know
what I mean. I'm sort of a capitalist. If you
can pull that off and sell tickets to it, more
power to you.
Speaker 3: Realize, So you're not like, get off the stage, Grandma.
You're not like that. You're not okay that that's refreshing.
Speaker 5: Look good, Scott, because we want our like we are.
Speaker 1: Well, Like what I what I had said to Amy
Joe about this is that five years ago when she
did the halftime performance at the super Bowl with Shakira,
she looks exactly the same.
Speaker 5: She's not aged a day and that.
Speaker 1: Performance was like super hot, But this one I cringed
a little bit.
Speaker 5: I was like, I don't think you can do that anymore.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the only time I ever go on the internet
is to talk to YouTube. What are you saying? People
are like going crazy about this on the AA.
Speaker 5: Yes, well, I.
Speaker 3: Mean I think once like Megan Kelly's her take was
a lot like mine and ours. It was kind of like,
you know, once you hit menopause, it's a little weird,
a little cringe if you will, you know what I mean,
You kind of like need to maybe stop grinding with
gay dudes on stage. You know, maybe a time and
a place and you know and maybe rely on your voice. Okay, so,
and you can look pretty and sexy without grinding, you know.
Speaker 2: So I have some recollection that this conversation has had
about Madonna not yea long ago. Yeah, in that case,
I agreed because it felt like she had crossed over
the line.
Speaker 5: What is that line? Though?
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 2: I don't think. I'm just going to tell you. I'm
not sure she's gotten there yet. I think.
Speaker 4: Fifty six it maybe I'm.
Speaker 2: Going to monitor it. You're I'm going to do like
six month checkups on it, and you.
Speaker 1: Need to do some serious research.
Speaker 4: At fifty five and a half, he's going to do
it again.
Speaker 1: But you know what, I would love to know what
your wife thinks about that, So ask her and we're back.
Speaker 5: I'm very curious.
Speaker 2: As soon as we hang up, I'm going to report in.
Speaker 4: And like talk to the chicks about this.
Speaker 2: Yes, we need we need your take on this, but
I'll get I'll send you a note.
Speaker 1: One more thing before we let you go, because I
want to respect your time. But who has been the
most ridiculous side or not sidekick but co panelist as
of late, like in the last couple of weeks, who's
been who's had the most ridiculous tape?
Speaker 2: Who's made you ranged very easy answer? His name is
tore He only has one name, Terray. I'm not I'm
somewhat certain he is supposed to be famous, but I
don't know why. So he occasionally comes on. In the
last two weeks, he revealed that he doesn't actually believe
that Donald Trump was shot in Butler, Pennsylvania, and we
had it out on the air. You can look it up.
The clip went a little viral, but I dubbed him
the Butler ear Truther. And he said, well, we never
really got confirmation that his ear was shot, and I
wasn't there. Am I supposed to know? Now? A few
months ago, right after Trump took office, he also expressed
shock that Donald Trump was giving orders to the military.
And I said, and I said, well, well, you know
that the presidence of commander in chief, right, And he
looked at me like I had invented the wheel, like
I mean, you know he was a you know, and yeah,
in the constitution, the presence commander in chief. So the
next time I saw him, he was telling me that
Trump hadn't actually been shot in the ear. So anyway,
by far without question the most ridiculous.
Speaker 1: I've ever He's the guy I really don't hear truth,
I know it, So we start on.
Speaker 4: That's fantastic. Guy.
Speaker 1: Remind everybody how to listen to your show on the radio.
Speaker 2: Yes, it's Salem Radio. So if you have a Salem
station in your market, and they're all over the country,
it's it's if it's airing live, it's two to three Eastern.
Some stations play it back, and then we have other
affiliates that are playing it. We also have it on
podcast versions, so you can go Apple Spotify and just
type in Scott Jennings Show and it'll pop up. We
have a logo on there that says Scott Jenning Show.
And then what I've been doing every day too is
I take my laptop or a camera into the studio
and I just turn it on and I have live
stream everything on x uh YouTube and Facebook. So if
you follow me on social media at two o'clock, I
just flipped the camera on, and not only do you
hear me, but you hear all the behind the scenes
chatter of me talking to the producers and me saying,
you know, I can't hear this, what does you know?
So it's a little comical, but it's kind of a
behind the scenes feed of the show. And then of
course book November the eighteenth, A Revolution of Common Sense.
Go on Amazon type in Revolution of Common Sense Scott Jennings.
It'll pop right up. Order it, give it to somebody
for Christmas. You're gonna love it, and I'm really looking
forward to getting that out in the fall.
Speaker 5: We've done radio any before we go.
Speaker 2: I do want to because you all have been so
nice to have me on twice now, if you would
be so kind as to grace me on the Salem
Radio show with your presence, I want to have you
on someday soon. We'll comment on the news of the day,
and I want to tell people about your excellent chicks
on the Right show and podcast. So if you'll if
you'll save an afternoon for me, we'll do it absolutely
