- And could zohran mamdani be only the beginning?
- 00:00:05.762 --> 00:00:09.799
- The islamo communist is set to be sworn in
- 00:00:09.799 --> 00:00:12.569
- As new york city's mayor on january 1st, taking control
- 00:00:12.569 --> 00:00:16.773
- In america's largest city and financial capital.
- 00:00:16.773 --> 00:00:20.043
- He's a good buddy
- 00:00:20.043 --> 00:00:21.144
- Of radical islamist and a vicious critic of israel.
- 00:00:21.144 --> 00:00:24.881
- So how did he get elected in new york city, just 24 years
- 00:00:24.881 --> 00:00:29.552
- After islamic terrorists took down the twin towers?
- 00:00:29.552 --> 00:00:33.323
- Well, here's a hint.
- 00:00:33.323 --> 00:00:34.724
- Some 62% of all foreign
- 00:00:34.724 --> 00:00:37.427
- Born new yorkers favored mamdani.
- 00:00:37.427 --> 00:00:40.463
- Many of them arrived
- 00:00:40.463 --> 00:00:41.498
- After 9/11, and many of them are islamic.
- 00:00:41.498 --> 00:00:45.335
- You may say, well, that's just new york city.
- 00:00:45.335 --> 00:00:48.004
- It doesn't affect me.
- 00:00:48.004 --> 00:00:49.839
- Have you noticed what's happening in the midwest,
- 00:00:49.839 --> 00:00:53.076
- In places like minneapolis and dearborn, michigan,
- 00:00:53.076 --> 00:00:55.945
- Where many islamic enclaves are popping up?
- 00:00:55.945 --> 00:00:59.349
- But it could never happen in texas, right?
- 00:00:59.349 --> 00:01:02.352
- The lone star state is the epitome of faith, family,
- 00:01:02.352 --> 00:01:06.122
- And freedom.
- 00:01:06.122 --> 00:01:07.257
- Well, it's also seen 48 new mosques open up in the past
- 00:01:07.257 --> 00:01:11.294
- Two years alone, many of them right here in the dallas-fort
- 00:01:11.294 --> 00:01:15.064
- Worth area.
- 00:01:15.064 --> 00:01:16.065
- 48 new mosques in texas in 24 months.
- 00:01:16.065 --> 00:01:21.271
- And it's not a coincidence.
- 00:01:21.271 --> 00:01:23.039
- From texas to mamdani and beyond.
- 00:01:23.039 --> 00:01:25.542
- This is all strategic.
- 00:01:25.542 --> 00:01:27.577
- It's the european blueprint, and it has now arrived on
- 00:01:27.577 --> 00:01:31.214
- America's shores.
- 00:01:31.214 --> 00:01:32.815
- Islamists aligning with radical leftist
- 00:01:32.815 --> 00:01:36.052
- Like katie wilson, the new socialist mayor
- 00:01:36.052 --> 00:01:39.422
- Of seattle who's promising to choose a cabinet
- 00:01:39.422 --> 00:01:42.792
- That includes people of two lgbtqia+ communities.
- 00:01:42.792 --> 00:01:48.731
- And you thought there was just lgbt.
- 00:01:48.731 --> 00:01:51.601
- Get with the times.
- 00:01:51.601 --> 00:01:53.269
- Good luck. seattle.
- 00:01:53.269 --> 00:01:54.604
- What new york city, seattle
- 00:01:54.604 --> 00:01:56.139
- And other american cities are facing is a direct assault
- 00:01:56.139 --> 00:02:00.109
- On judeo-christian values and western civilization.
- 00:02:00.109 --> 00:02:03.947
- It often seems like one
- 00:02:03.947 --> 00:02:05.415
- Man is standing between sanity and total chaos.
- 00:02:05.415 --> 00:02:09.752
- And his name is donald j.
- 00:02:09.752 --> 00:02:11.988
- Trump.
- 00:02:11.988 --> 00:02:12.922
- Coming up, cnn senior political contributor

- Scott jennings joins us to break down
- 00:02:15.091 --> 00:02:16.926
- How trump is carrying the torch, not just for america,
- 00:02:16.926 --> 00:02:21.264
- But for the entire western world.
- 00:02:21.264 --> 00:02:24.334
- And it all starts now.
- 00:02:24.334 --> 00:02:43.319
- If you really want to understand how president trump
- 00:02:44.354 --> 00:02:47.457
- Has taken washington by storm, scott jennings is your man.
- 00:02:47.457 --> 00:02:52.028
- He's a trusted voice in conservative politics
- 00:02:52.028 --> 00:02:54.564
- And one of the rare truth tellers on cnn,
- 00:02:54.564 --> 00:02:57.767
- Where he's a senior political contributor
- 00:02:57.767 --> 00:02:59.702
- And battles it out nightly with his liberal co-panelists.
- 00:02:59.702 --> 00:03:03.506
- Scott has written an inside account
- 00:03:03.506 --> 00:03:05.341
- Of president trump's second term.
- 00:03:05.341 --> 00:03:07.243
- It's called a revolution of common sense.
- 00:03:07.243 --> 00:03:10.246
- How donald trump stormed washington
- 00:03:10.246 --> 00:03:12.482
- And fought for western civilization.
- 00:03:12.482 --> 00:03:15.051
- Scott takes you into the room.
- 00:03:15.051 --> 00:03:16.953
- The oval office decisions.
- 00:03:16.953 --> 00:03:18.955
- The strategy aboard air force one and the mission
- 00:03:18.955 --> 00:03:22.225
- To restore american strength at home and abroad.
- 00:03:22.225 --> 00:03:26.062
- I sat down with me at the republican jewish
- 00:03:26.062 --> 00:03:27.897
- Coalition summit in las vegas to hear more.
- 00:03:27.897 --> 00:03:32.201
- Scott jennings, great to have you back with us.
- 00:03:33.136 --> 00:03:35.772
- A revolution of common sense.
- 00:03:35.772 --> 00:03:37.473
- The book is out now.
- 00:03:37.473 --> 00:03:39.242
- First of all, congratulations.
- 00:03:39.242 --> 00:03:41.177
- Secondly, donald trump and you open book
- 00:03:41.177 --> 00:03:44.580
- With some great anecdotes about your meetings
- 00:03:44.580 --> 00:03:46.382
- With him in the oval office
- 00:03:46.382 --> 00:03:47.850
- Or meeting your first meeting with him in particular.
- 00:03:47.850 --> 00:03:50.586
- Why is he.
- 00:03:50.586 --> 00:03:51.621
- And we'll unpack all of it.
- 00:03:51.621 --> 00:03:53.256
- Why is he different
- 00:03:53.256 --> 00:03:54.791
- Than any other leader we see in the world right now?
- 00:03:54.791 --> 00:03:57.193
- What sets him apart and makes him so successful?
- 00:03:57.193 --> 00:04:00.663
- Well, i think a couple of things.
- 00:04:00.663 --> 00:04:02.365
- Number one, his willingness to not be hemmed in
- 00:04:02.365 --> 00:04:06.102
- By the way we've always done it.
- 00:04:06.102 --> 00:04:08.004
- That's the one thing that kept
- 00:04:08.004 --> 00:04:09.105
- Coming up in my conversations with him, the cabinet,
- 00:04:09.105 --> 00:04:12.075
- Other people that i spoke to,
- 00:04:12.075 --> 00:04:13.609
- The observations i had with his meetings.
- 00:04:13.609 --> 00:04:16.079
- He is just not going to be hemmed in by, well,
- 00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:18.848
- We always did it that way.
- 00:04:18.848 --> 00:04:20.450
- And so when you're talking about trying to forge peace
- 00:04:20.450 --> 00:04:22.752
- In the middle east,
- 00:04:22.752 --> 00:04:23.653
- Or you're talking about economic policy,
- 00:04:23.653 --> 00:04:25.288
- You know, there's always people in washington
- 00:04:25.288 --> 00:04:26.756
- That want to say, well, we can't do that.
- 00:04:26.756 --> 00:04:28.758
- We've never done that before.
- 00:04:28.758 --> 00:04:30.593
- That's the last thing you want to tell donald trump.
- 00:04:30.593 --> 00:04:32.829
- He's a he is truly an outside the lines thinker.
- 00:04:32.829 --> 00:04:35.631
- At a time when people want political leaders to think
- 00:04:35.631 --> 00:04:39.235
- That way.
- 00:04:39.235 --> 00:04:40.236
- The other thing i learned is writing this book.
- 00:04:40.236 --> 00:04:42.238
- He picked the team for this administration.
- 00:04:42.238 --> 00:04:44.574
- That's right, for his management style.
- 00:04:44.574 --> 00:04:47.310
- And so love it.
- 00:04:47.310 --> 00:04:48.344
- Or hate it,
- 00:04:48.344 --> 00:04:49.545
- Donald trump, the elected president of the united states,
- 00:04:49.545 --> 00:04:52.248
- Is firmly in charge.
- 00:04:52.248 --> 00:04:53.616
- And the nerve center of this government
- 00:04:53.616 --> 00:04:55.284
- Is the oval office behind the resolute desk.
- 00:04:55.284 --> 00:04:57.754
- The other thing i learned about observing him,
- 00:04:57.754 --> 00:05:00.323
- He's a good listener.
- 00:05:00.323 --> 00:05:01.858
- He likes to listen to people debate.
- 00:05:01.858 --> 00:05:03.393
- He will ask questions.
- 00:05:03.393 --> 00:05:05.161
- But his leadership style is to really pay attention and listen.
- 00:05:05.161 --> 00:05:09.699
- I think the caricature of him
- 00:05:09.699 --> 00:05:11.534
- Is that he would just have preconceived ideas
- 00:05:11.534 --> 00:05:14.170
- And wouldn't care what anyone thought.
- 00:05:14.170 --> 00:05:15.638
- That's not true.
- 00:05:15.638 --> 00:05:16.839
- He listens to these advisors,
- 00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:18.608
- Have conversations and debate, and then he makes decisions.
- 00:05:18.608 --> 00:05:21.944
- But he's decisive.
- 00:05:21.944 --> 00:05:23.479
- I think one of the problems with biden, frankly,
- 00:05:23.479 --> 00:05:25.648
- And this was historically his problem,
- 00:05:25.648 --> 00:05:27.450
- Just indecisive is hand-wringing.
- 00:05:27.450 --> 00:05:29.786
- You don't get that with trump.
- 00:05:29.786 --> 00:05:31.053
- Once he makes a decision,
- 00:05:31.053 --> 00:05:32.288
- The decision is made and it's firm
- 00:05:32.288 --> 00:05:34.090
- And everybody knows to go execute.
- 00:05:34.090 --> 00:05:36.125
- Number one, and he's built for this.
- 00:05:36.125 --> 00:05:37.627
- But secondly, i don't think he sleeps.
- 00:05:37.627 --> 00:05:39.362
- No, he's a force of nature. he's a machine. yes.
- 00:05:39.362 --> 00:05:42.098
- And it's the antithesis, of course, scott,
- 00:05:42.098 --> 00:05:43.933
- As you mentioned, of joe biden and the biden years.
- 00:05:43.933 --> 00:05:47.203
- But can you talk about the mess he was left with that
- 00:05:47.203 --> 00:05:50.072
- He inherited from the biden administration on all levels
- 00:05:50.072 --> 00:05:52.508
- Culturally, socially, foreign policy, economically?
- 00:05:52.508 --> 00:05:55.578
- It was a. disaster.
- 00:05:55.578 --> 00:05:56.446
- Well, go down the list.
- 00:05:56.446 --> 00:05:57.413
- I mean, number one,
- 00:05:57.413 --> 00:05:58.214
- Our immigration system was a disaster.
- 00:05:58.214 --> 00:06:00.116
- And i think one of the reasons he was elected
- 00:06:00.116 --> 00:06:02.118
- In the first place and then reelected is because
- 00:06:02.118 --> 00:06:04.787
- Of the immigration crisis in this country.
- 00:06:04.787 --> 00:06:06.556
- You know, we haven't passed any new laws on immigration,
- 00:06:06.556 --> 00:06:09.091
- But the border is somehow closed.
- 00:06:09.091 --> 00:06:10.626
- We now have internal enforcement.
- 00:06:10.626 --> 00:06:12.495
- What i have learned is, is that the old administration
- 00:06:12.495 --> 00:06:15.398
- Ahead policies designed to have the border open
- 00:06:15.398 --> 00:06:18.167
- And not enforce existing federal law.
- 00:06:18.167 --> 00:06:20.603
- The only thing donald trump has done is say,
- 00:06:20.603 --> 00:06:22.171
- Let's just enforce the law right?
- 00:06:22.171 --> 00:06:24.006
- Novel concept for a president.
- 00:06:24.607 --> 00:06:26.108
- But that's what he's doing.
- 00:06:26.108 --> 00:06:27.009
- That was a mess. but it is solved.
- 00:06:27.009 --> 00:06:29.178
- He inherited an economic mess, an inflationary mess
- 00:06:29.178 --> 00:06:31.714
- Caused by joe biden's policies.
- 00:06:31.714 --> 00:06:33.516
- And he's still digging out from that.
- 00:06:33.516 --> 00:06:34.984
- Probably one of the things that's nagging him the most.
- 00:06:34.984 --> 00:06:37.653
- Just how deep of a hole biden had put us in economically.
- 00:06:37.653 --> 00:06:40.590
- But he passed the big, beautiful bill he kept taxes low.
- 00:06:40.590 --> 00:06:43.926
- He's deregulating on the energy front.
- 00:06:43.926 --> 00:06:45.962
- He's rebalancing our trade relationships.
- 00:06:45.962 --> 00:06:47.864
- But i think it will take time
- 00:06:47.864 --> 00:06:49.665
- For all these things to to flesh out and pan out
- 00:06:49.665 --> 00:06:52.702
- On the world stage.
- 00:06:52.702 --> 00:06:53.870
- I mean, the biggest thing he inherited was a weak america.
- 00:06:53.870 --> 00:06:58.307
- Our president was weak.
- 00:06:58.307 --> 00:06:59.642
- We had weak leadership.
- 00:06:59.642 --> 00:07:00.977
- We had feckless leadership.
- 00:07:00.977 --> 00:07:02.678
- We had indecisive leadership in the oval office in.
- 00:07:02.678 --> 00:07:06.082
- Afghanistan, withdrawal in 2021 and went downhill from.
- 00:07:06.082 --> 00:07:08.985
- There. of course, of course.
- 00:07:08.985 --> 00:07:10.353
- And so the world looked at us as a diminishing player.
- 00:07:10.353 --> 00:07:14.156
- Now they look at us as the world's
- 00:07:14.156 --> 00:07:17.460
- Indispensable superpower once again.
- 00:07:17.460 --> 00:07:19.962
- And look what happens
- 00:07:19.962 --> 00:07:21.063
- When the american president is strong.
- 00:07:21.063 --> 00:07:22.765
- You can solve wars.
- 00:07:22.765 --> 00:07:24.300
- You can bring people to the table.
- 00:07:24.300 --> 00:07:25.968
- You can get hostages back.
- 00:07:25.968 --> 00:07:27.303
- Strong american leadership matters.
- 00:07:27.303 --> 00:07:29.205
- And so reversing that trend culturally.
- 00:07:29.205 --> 00:07:32.408
- You know another reason he was elected in 2024.
- 00:07:32.408 --> 00:07:34.844
- The democrats had gone off
- 00:07:34.844 --> 00:07:35.978
- Into the cultural ditch on transgender ideology
- 00:07:35.978 --> 00:07:38.514
- And a whole bunch of other things die.
- 00:07:38.514 --> 00:07:41.117
- He's ended all of that.
- 00:07:41.617 --> 00:07:42.752
- He's reversed that. the pendulum is swinging back.
- 00:07:42.752 --> 00:07:45.121
- People are grateful that he has made it
- 00:07:45.121 --> 00:07:47.056
- So that you can just tell the truth again.
- 00:07:47.056 --> 00:07:49.125
- You can just say what everyone's thinking again.
- 00:07:49.125 --> 00:07:52.128
- And more than anything, i think he is just instilled
- 00:07:52.128 --> 00:07:55.665
- A sense of common sense.
- 00:07:55.665 --> 00:07:56.866
- That's why i call the book a revolution of common sense.
- 00:07:56.866 --> 00:07:58.868
- He used that phrase
- 00:07:58.868 --> 00:08:00.336
- In his inaugural address when he said it.
- 00:08:00.336 --> 00:08:02.305
- I thought, that's the book.
- 00:08:02.305 --> 00:08:04.540
- That's that is the most genius political branding.
- 00:08:04.540 --> 00:08:08.544
- And on his 100th day in office, i flew with him to michigan
- 00:08:08.544 --> 00:08:12.181
- And he said, i'll paraphrase, you know, whether you're right
- 00:08:12.181 --> 00:08:14.884
- Or whether you left, it doesn't matter what you are.
- 00:08:14.884 --> 00:08:16.686
- It's just common sense.
- 00:08:16.686 --> 00:08:19.221
- And you talk to people who are not really
- 00:08:19.221 --> 00:08:21.090
- All that politically engaged.
- 00:08:21.090 --> 00:08:22.224
- Maybe they've never voted before.
- 00:08:22.224 --> 00:08:23.993
- They were attracted to the common sense nature
- 00:08:23.993 --> 00:08:26.796
- Of what he's trying to do.
- 00:08:26.796 --> 00:08:28.331
- So and of course, what biden was doing on
- 00:08:28.331 --> 00:08:30.666
- So many fronts was outsourcing his agenda
- 00:08:30.666 --> 00:08:33.736
- To people so far on the radical left
- 00:08:33.736 --> 00:08:35.638
- That everything they were doing
- 00:08:35.638 --> 00:08:36.672
- Felt like nonsense, uncommon nonsense.
- 00:08:36.672 --> 00:08:39.909
- But he has to reverse all that,
- 00:08:39.909 --> 00:08:41.744
- And we're well on our way to doing it.
- 00:08:41.744 --> 00:08:43.512
- And, you know,
- 00:08:43.512 --> 00:08:44.780
- I know his advisors are happy with the progress they've made.
- 00:08:44.780 --> 00:08:47.617
- I did talk to one of them,
- 00:08:47.617 --> 00:08:49.552
- During the process of writing the book, and i said,
- 00:08:49.552 --> 00:08:52.355
- You know, he seems to be doing so many things on a daily basis.
- 00:08:52.355 --> 00:08:55.358
- And the advisor said, well, you know,
- 00:08:55.358 --> 00:08:57.727
- He knows he doesn't have much time to save the country.
- 00:08:57.727 --> 00:09:00.930
- And that's why he's moving so quickly,
- 00:09:00.930 --> 00:09:02.999
- Because he knows how close to the brink we really were.
- 00:09:02.999 --> 00:09:07.336
- Up next, scott jennings on president trump's
- 00:09:08.237 --> 00:09:10.272
- Push to restore sanity in america from stopping
- 00:09:10.272 --> 00:09:13.643
- Men and women's sports to rebuilding the middle class.
- 00:09:13.643 --> 00:09:17.380
- Stick around.
- 00:09:17.747 --> 00:09:21.009
- Stick around.
- 00:09:21.009 --> 00:09:24.287
- Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight.
- 00:09:25.055 --> 00:09:26.723
- Scott jennings has become one of the few voices on cnn
- 00:09:26.723 --> 00:09:30.360
- Consistently standing up for faith, family and freedom.
- 00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:34.698
- His new book, a revolution of common sense,
- 00:09:34.698 --> 00:09:37.401
- Gives the inside story on the policy battles
- 00:09:37.401 --> 00:09:40.504
- And cultural clashes shaping america right now.
- 00:09:40.504 --> 00:09:44.841
- Take a look.
- 00:09:45.175 --> 00:09:48.045
- There's a sense of urgency, and scott used
- 00:09:48.045 --> 00:09:50.647
- Common sense for sure.
- 00:09:50.647 --> 00:09:51.848
- On cnn, as you're jousting with leftists
- 00:09:51.848 --> 00:09:54.184
- Every night, you call these 8020 issues.
- 00:09:54.184 --> 00:09:56.720
- Yeah, 80%
- 00:09:56.720 --> 00:09:57.954
- Of the american people agree on where president trump stands.
- 00:09:57.954 --> 00:10:00.323
- And the other 20 is on the fringe and it's madness.
- 00:10:00.323 --> 00:10:03.093
- One of those, obviously, the gender madness
- 00:10:03.093 --> 00:10:05.662
- You referenced a minute ago, men and women's locker rooms.
- 00:10:05.662 --> 00:10:09.066
- Little children being mutilated.
- 00:10:09.066 --> 00:10:10.801
- Yeah.
- 00:10:10.801 --> 00:10:11.868
- Talk more about that because i think on day one,
- 00:10:11.868 --> 00:10:13.770
- President trump, as he was inaugurated,
- 00:10:13.770 --> 00:10:15.806
- Signed an executive order
- 00:10:15.806 --> 00:10:17.074
- Banning that the child sex change mutilations.
- 00:10:17.074 --> 00:10:20.243
- Talk more about that.
- 00:10:20.744 --> 00:10:21.745
- How that factors into common sense.
- 00:10:21.745 --> 00:10:23.647
- This is when we talk about saving
- 00:10:23.647 --> 00:10:25.449
- Judeo-christian western civilization.
- 00:10:25.449 --> 00:10:27.918
- If we can't save our kids, it seems, and we can't save
- 00:10:27.918 --> 00:10:30.721
- The civilization.
- 00:10:30.721 --> 00:10:31.722
- Well, i think if you can erase someone's gender
- 00:10:31.722 --> 00:10:33.824
- In the way that the left wants to be able to do it,
- 00:10:33.824 --> 00:10:35.859
- You can erase them from the law.
- 00:10:35.859 --> 00:10:37.627
- I mean, we have immutable characteristics, god-given.
- 00:10:37.627 --> 00:10:40.130
- Immutable traits.
- 00:10:40.130 --> 00:10:42.099
- And that is connected to the way
- 00:10:42.099 --> 00:10:43.467
- We do civil rights in this country.
- 00:10:43.467 --> 00:10:45.001
- But if you can erase those,
- 00:10:45.001 --> 00:10:46.103
- If you can change those, they're no longer immutable.
- 00:10:46.103 --> 00:10:48.371
- You can erase people from the law.
- 00:10:48.371 --> 00:10:49.606
- That's what they're doing to women.
- 00:10:49.606 --> 00:10:50.674
- I think the republican party or donald trump
- 00:10:50.674 --> 00:10:53.944
- Is fighting for true civil rights,
- 00:10:53.944 --> 00:10:55.779
- Especially the civil rights of women,
- 00:10:55.779 --> 00:10:58.014
- Because what the left was doing was effectively saying,
- 00:10:58.014 --> 00:11:02.352
- You know, they can't define what a woman is.
- 00:11:02.352 --> 00:11:04.254
- You can become one and they can't answer.
- 00:11:04.254 --> 00:11:06.523
- And when you start to really go down that rabbit hole,
- 00:11:06.523 --> 00:11:09.292
- What you start to realize is as well
- 00:11:09.292 --> 00:11:11.061
- They're devaluing women in this way.
- 00:11:11.061 --> 00:11:14.131
- Trump said no more.
- 00:11:14.131 --> 00:11:15.599
- I think one of the most iconic photos that he took in the first
- 00:11:15.599 --> 00:11:19.269
- Hundred days
- 00:11:19.269 --> 00:11:20.470
- Was having all those female athletes at the white house,
- 00:11:20.470 --> 00:11:23.273
- Where he signed the executive order about banning,
- 00:11:23.273 --> 00:11:26.076
- Men from women's sports.
- 00:11:26.076 --> 00:11:27.410
- And then what happened?
- 00:11:27.410 --> 00:11:28.078
- The u.s.
- 00:11:28.078 --> 00:11:28.578
- Olympic committee
- 00:11:28.578 --> 00:11:29.713
- Or the international olympic committee followed suit.
- 00:11:29.713 --> 00:11:31.982
- And they're not going to allow that in future olympics.
- 00:11:31.982 --> 00:11:34.751
- And so leadership on this has consequences.
- 00:11:34.751 --> 00:11:37.554
- And it's also,
- 00:11:37.554 --> 00:11:38.455
- I think, given a permission structure
- 00:11:38.455 --> 00:11:39.656
- For everybody out there, just to say, finally,
- 00:11:39.656 --> 00:11:42.225
- We don't have to tiptoe around this anymore.
- 00:11:42.225 --> 00:11:44.494
- There's a heck of a lot of people out there
- 00:11:44.494 --> 00:11:46.363
- And a bunch of liberal democrats
- 00:11:46.363 --> 00:11:47.931
- Who don't want their little girls
- 00:11:47.931 --> 00:11:49.766
- Having to swim against or play volleyball against boys.
- 00:11:49.766 --> 00:11:52.335
- They don't want boys in their girls locker rooms,
- 00:11:52.335 --> 00:11:54.805
- And they felt trapped by their own political party.
- 00:11:54.805 --> 00:11:57.841
- And donald trump has come along
- 00:11:57.841 --> 00:11:59.242
- And put an end to this nonsense.
- 00:11:59.242 --> 00:12:00.977
- Where the left is right now and what president trump is up
- 00:12:00.977 --> 00:12:04.080
- Against there.
- 00:12:04.080 --> 00:12:05.081
- And honestly, what we averted last november
- 00:12:05.081 --> 00:12:08.485
- With a harris waltz administration, god forbid,
- 00:12:08.485 --> 00:12:11.721
- Where are they right now?
- 00:12:11.721 --> 00:12:12.956
- They're in the political wilderness,
- 00:12:12.956 --> 00:12:14.090
- It seems, but ideologically, they're way out there
- 00:12:14.090 --> 00:12:16.493
- On the far left and the radical left.
- 00:12:16.493 --> 00:12:18.862
- Well, they're in the thrall of a bunch
- 00:12:18.862 --> 00:12:21.631
- Of radical progressive socialists,
- 00:12:21.631 --> 00:12:23.700
- And they don't even really try to hide it anymore.
- 00:12:23.700 --> 00:12:25.702
- They're proud to call themselves socialists.
- 00:12:25.702 --> 00:12:28.371
- The beating heart of the democratic party right now
- 00:12:28.371 --> 00:12:31.074
- Is this socialist energy, the mamdani energy,
- 00:12:31.074 --> 00:12:34.845
- The aoc energy.
- 00:12:34.845 --> 00:12:36.446
- That's where all the energy is in their party.
- 00:12:36.446 --> 00:12:38.448
- They held it off in 2020 and in 2016.
- 00:12:38.448 --> 00:12:41.985
- I don't know if they're going to be able
- 00:12:41.985 --> 00:12:42.886
- To hold it off anymore.
- 00:12:42.886 --> 00:12:44.321
- And honestly,
- 00:12:44.321 --> 00:12:45.922
- Look, you know, there's part of me that says,
- 00:12:45.922 --> 00:12:47.390
- Well, i guess it's good for the republicans
- 00:12:47.390 --> 00:12:49.025
- Because the more radical they get, the more anti-american
- 00:12:49.025 --> 00:12:51.862
- They become, the easier it is for republicans to win.
- 00:12:51.862 --> 00:12:54.598
- But i don't think it's good for one
- 00:12:54.598 --> 00:12:55.932
- Of our two political parties,
- 00:12:55.932 --> 00:12:57.834
- To be going down this very
- 00:12:58.401 --> 00:13:00.203
- Anti-american, anti-capitalist, anti-free market path.
- 00:13:00.203 --> 00:13:04.374
- It's antithetical to the founding of the country.
- 00:13:04.374 --> 00:13:07.177
- It's not good for our political culture,
- 00:13:07.177 --> 00:13:10.881
- For one of our parties to be captured,
- 00:13:10.881 --> 00:13:12.649
- I think, by this ideology.
- 00:13:12.649 --> 00:13:13.850
- And, of course, the only way to change
- 00:13:13.850 --> 00:13:14.918
- It is to keep beating them in elections.
- 00:13:14.918 --> 00:13:17.153
- They have a very low image right now.
- 00:13:17.153 --> 00:13:19.823
- But at the same time, a lot of people who used to
- 00:13:19.823 --> 00:13:21.725
- Be democrats, i think about my father, who was
- 00:13:21.725 --> 00:13:25.161
- Blue collar guy from west kentucky,
- 00:13:25.161 --> 00:13:26.630
- Was the biggest clinton guy i ever knew.
- 00:13:26.630 --> 00:13:28.398
- I come from a family of democrats.
- 00:13:28.398 --> 00:13:30.400
- He was the first person to tell me
- 00:13:30.400 --> 00:13:31.601
- That donald trump was going to be the president.
- 00:13:31.601 --> 00:13:33.870
- And, like a lot of people back then, i thought, oh, come on.
- 00:13:33.870 --> 00:13:36.640
- Yeah, but he knew.
- 00:13:36.640 --> 00:13:37.741
- He knew because all of his,
- 00:13:37.741 --> 00:13:40.076
- Contemporaries, his peers,
- 00:13:40.076 --> 00:13:41.645
- Working class guys from middle america,
- 00:13:41.645 --> 00:13:43.580
- They knew what was happening to their old party.
- 00:13:43.580 --> 00:13:45.482
- They knew that party being represented and many more.
- 00:13:45.482 --> 00:13:48.351
- Trump comes along and he speaks in the way that people like
- 00:13:48.351 --> 00:13:51.855
- My dad would speak.
- 00:13:51.855 --> 00:13:53.023
- If anybody ever bothered to put a microphone in his face.
- 00:13:53.023 --> 00:13:55.325
- Yeah.
- 00:13:55.325 --> 00:13:55.759
- And that's his.
- 00:13:55.759 --> 00:13:56.927
- That's the magic of the political movement.
- 00:13:56.927 --> 00:13:59.429
- He recognized how far outside the mainstream
- 00:13:59.429 --> 00:14:02.365
- The democrats had become.
- 00:14:02.365 --> 00:14:04.034
- And he said, look, i don't want you to,
- 00:14:04.034 --> 00:14:06.002
- You know, think too deeply about political ideologies.
- 00:14:06.002 --> 00:14:08.505
- I just want you to think about common sense.
- 00:14:08.505 --> 00:14:10.140
- You call them 80, 20 issues. that's what i call them.
- 00:14:10.140 --> 00:14:12.208
- But i think i was wrong.
- 00:14:12.208 --> 00:14:13.343
- I think some of them are 90, ten, 95, five, i think.
- 00:14:13.343 --> 00:14:17.480
- And on these cultural matters, and trump knew it.
- 00:14:17.480 --> 00:14:20.617
- And by the way, he's not afraid.
- 00:14:20.617 --> 00:14:23.019
- How many of us walk around this world
- 00:14:23.019 --> 00:14:25.155
- And we know what the truth is,
- 00:14:25.155 --> 00:14:27.290
- But we're afraid you know what will happen to us at work?
- 00:14:27.290 --> 00:14:29.526
- What will happen to us at school,
- 00:14:29.526 --> 00:14:30.827
- Or what will happen to us in our social circles?
- 00:14:30.827 --> 00:14:33.330
- The man fears nothing.
- 00:14:33.330 --> 00:14:35.365
- And when you fear nothing and you show
- 00:14:35.365 --> 00:14:37.033
- That kind of leadership, it give
- 00:14:37.033 --> 00:14:40.303
- Coming up, scott jennings on trump's tariff
- 00:14:41.171 --> 00:14:43.673
- Strategy, the battle with china for ai supremacy,
- 00:14:43.673 --> 00:14:47.043
- And how peace through strength is restoring american power.
- 00:14:47.043 --> 00:14:50.747
- Don't lose.
- 00:14:51.081 --> 00:14:52.008
- Don't lose.
- 00:14:52.008 --> 00:14:55.084
- We can't talk about president trump's leadership, scott,
- 00:14:56.218 --> 00:14:58.153
- Without talking about how he uses leverage
- 00:14:58.153 --> 00:15:01.090
- And peace through strength. yes.
- 00:15:01.090 --> 00:15:03.292
- Economically.
- 00:15:03.292 --> 00:15:04.193
- And now, look, we have trillions of dollars
- 00:15:04.193 --> 00:15:05.828
- Of foreign investment coming into the united states.
- 00:15:05.828 --> 00:15:08.731
- And obviously, the big foreign policy wins.
- 00:15:08.731 --> 00:15:10.933
- You were in israel during the 12 day war as it broke out.
- 00:15:10.933 --> 00:15:14.436
- Talk about his approach to foreign affairs
- 00:15:14.436 --> 00:15:17.573
- And dealing with other countries.
- 00:15:17.573 --> 00:15:19.608
- Well, a couple of things.
- 00:15:19.608 --> 00:15:20.642
- Number one,
- 00:15:20.642 --> 00:15:21.610
- He negotiates from a position of strength,
- 00:15:21.610 --> 00:15:23.212
- Whereas biden was always from a position of weakness.
- 00:15:23.212 --> 00:15:25.781
- So that automatically advantages us
- 00:15:25.781 --> 00:15:27.950
- When we're talking to countries about anything.
- 00:15:27.950 --> 00:15:30.285
- Number two, you know, he firmly believes in tariffs.
- 00:15:30.285 --> 00:15:33.622
- He believes that tariffs are more
- 00:15:33.622 --> 00:15:35.057
- Than just an economic policy.
- 00:15:35.057 --> 00:15:36.425
- He views them
- 00:15:36.425 --> 00:15:37.526
- As a tool of national diplomacy and national security.
- 00:15:37.526 --> 00:15:40.829
- It's one of his longest and most deeply held, political.
- 00:15:40.829 --> 00:15:43.966
- Views. william mckinley. finn. yes.
- 00:15:43.966 --> 00:15:45.868
- I mean, he he i think in his heart of hearts,
- 00:15:45.868 --> 00:15:47.936
- If he could go back to a world
- 00:15:47.936 --> 00:15:49.238
- Where our government was just based on tariffs,
- 00:15:49.238 --> 00:15:51.740
- We didn't have income taxes and everything else.
- 00:15:51.740 --> 00:15:53.575
- We didn't have an irs. that's what he would do.
- 00:15:53.575 --> 00:15:56.078
- I think he believes that's what the country would best run on.
- 00:15:56.078 --> 00:15:59.848
- That's his theory.
- 00:16:00.282 --> 00:16:01.517
- You know, i think what he's done economically is put america
- 00:16:01.517 --> 00:16:04.887
- First and american workers first, and he's using policies
- 00:16:04.887 --> 00:16:08.524
- To restore jobs and try to give us greater advantages.
- 00:16:08.524 --> 00:16:12.461
- And, you know, look,
- 00:16:12.461 --> 00:16:13.462
- The american people will ultimately decide
- 00:16:13.462 --> 00:16:15.164
- If they want this to continue or not.
- 00:16:15.164 --> 00:16:17.666
- His fervent view is that we will have more jobs,
- 00:16:17.666 --> 00:16:20.769
- People will have better paying jobs,
- 00:16:20.769 --> 00:16:22.504
- And we're not going to be taken advantage of
- 00:16:22.504 --> 00:16:24.440
- By other countries.
- 00:16:24.440 --> 00:16:25.874
- That'll be, you know, the republican party's,
- 00:16:25.874 --> 00:16:28.977
- Future to continue to carry that forward.
- 00:16:28.977 --> 00:16:32.147
- And look, i think j.d.
- 00:16:32.147 --> 00:16:33.048
- Vance is going to be the next nominee,
- 00:16:33.048 --> 00:16:34.616
- And obviously he believes in it, too.
- 00:16:34.616 --> 00:16:37.086
- So i think on the world stage, it's just position of strength
- 00:16:37.086 --> 00:16:40.155
- Using the tools that are available
- 00:16:40.155 --> 00:16:41.890
- And not being hemmed in by old ideologies or old.
- 00:16:41.890 --> 00:16:45.828
- You know, we can't do it that way.
- 00:16:45.828 --> 00:16:47.863
- It's made him a really powerful president.
- 00:16:47.863 --> 00:16:50.799
- And we needed one because what we had before was so weak.
- 00:16:50.799 --> 00:16:53.335
- Yeah. and great point.
- 00:16:53.335 --> 00:16:54.670
- You seem egypt recently, scott, after the gaza ceasefire deal
- 00:16:54.670 --> 00:16:57.873
- Was announced, he goes next door to egypt for meetings there.
- 00:16:57.873 --> 00:17:00.909
- I mean, world leaders clamoring to have their picture
- 00:17:00.909 --> 00:17:03.545
- With him, to talk to him, to get a moment with him.
- 00:17:03.545 --> 00:17:06.381
- One thing that strikes me about him
- 00:17:06.381 --> 00:17:07.850
- Is he'll talk to anyone. yes.
- 00:17:07.850 --> 00:17:10.252
- China, russia, north korea.
- 00:17:10.252 --> 00:17:12.187
- If he could, he would talk to iran.
- 00:17:12.187 --> 00:17:13.856
- But as you said, he always does it
- 00:17:13.856 --> 00:17:15.557
- From a position of strength.
- 00:17:15.557 --> 00:17:17.259
- And and he does it from a position
- 00:17:17.259 --> 00:17:18.760
- Of what kind of deal can i get for america?
- 00:17:18.760 --> 00:17:21.597
- I talked to marco
- 00:17:21.597 --> 00:17:22.598
- Rubio for my book, and it's one of the things
- 00:17:22.598 --> 00:17:24.566
- He impressed upon me
- 00:17:24.566 --> 00:17:26.168
- Is that the beginning and ending
- 00:17:26.168 --> 00:17:27.669
- Of every strategic conversation they have is,
- 00:17:27.669 --> 00:17:30.405
- What are we trying to get out of this for the united states
- 00:17:30.405 --> 00:17:33.108
- Of america?
- 00:17:33.108 --> 00:17:33.976
- It's one of the reasons they reorganize
- 00:17:33.976 --> 00:17:35.077
- The state department in our foreign aid system.
- 00:17:35.077 --> 00:17:36.945
- They had determined that it just wasn't being operated in a way
- 00:17:36.945 --> 00:17:41.183
- That was serving america's best interests on the foreign stage.
- 00:17:41.183 --> 00:17:44.386
- It doesn't make foreign aid bad.
- 00:17:44.386 --> 00:17:46.321
- It just means the bureaucracy that had grown up around
- 00:17:46.321 --> 00:17:48.490
- It wasn't necessarily
- 00:17:48.490 --> 00:17:49.725
- In service of the foreign policy of the american government.
- 00:17:49.725 --> 00:17:52.928
- Rubio told me, in fact, that there were multiple times
- 00:17:52.928 --> 00:17:55.964
- Where the foreign aid distribution
- 00:17:55.964 --> 00:17:57.666
- System was doing things at cross-purposes with whatever
- 00:17:57.666 --> 00:18:00.702
- The ambassador in his country thought was the best thing to do
- 00:18:00.702 --> 00:18:03.839
- For america's relationship with that particular area.
- 00:18:03.839 --> 00:18:06.909
- Well, they said,
- 00:18:06.909 --> 00:18:08.577
- Even though we've always done it this way, we can reorganize it
- 00:18:08.577 --> 00:18:11.113
- And put it back on a footing of what's best for america.
- 00:18:11.113 --> 00:18:14.883
- I think that's the question he asks himself.
- 00:18:14.883 --> 00:18:17.286
- I'm negotiating with a company.
- 00:18:17.286 --> 00:18:18.554
- I'm negotiating with a foreign government.
- 00:18:18.554 --> 00:18:20.255
- I'm negotiating with democrats, whatever i'm negotiating with.
- 00:18:20.255 --> 00:18:23.759
- The question is, what's best for america?
- 00:18:23.759 --> 00:18:26.662
- What's best for the united states?
- 00:18:26.662 --> 00:18:28.263
- They start there,
- 00:18:28.263 --> 00:18:29.565
- And then he gets as close to that as possible.
- 00:18:29.565 --> 00:18:31.133
- And i think he's got a pretty darn
- 00:18:31.133 --> 00:18:32.401
- Darn good track record of it.
- 00:18:32.401 --> 00:18:33.802
- It truly is america first.
- 00:18:33.802 --> 00:18:35.671
- Imagine that. yeah.
- 00:18:35.671 --> 00:18:36.939
- Hey, for the book, you had incredible access,
- 00:18:36.939 --> 00:18:38.840
- By the way, president trump,
- 00:18:38.840 --> 00:18:40.075
- Of course, marco rubio, various members of the administration.
- 00:18:40.075 --> 00:18:44.112
- What struck you the most
- 00:18:44.112 --> 00:18:45.380
- About how this administration operates?
- 00:18:45.380 --> 00:18:47.049
- Obviously, as you said earlier, he's firmly in charge, but
- 00:18:47.049 --> 00:18:50.319
- He's got his people, it seems now around it.
- 00:18:50.319 --> 00:18:53.288
- Yes. the people that he has hired
- 00:18:53.288 --> 00:18:55.123
- For this administration at the cabinet level
- 00:18:55.123 --> 00:18:56.892
- And at the staff level
- 00:18:56.892 --> 00:18:58.227
- Know how to operate under his leadership style.
- 00:18:58.227 --> 00:19:01.430
- I think that was the difference between trump two and trump
- 00:19:01.430 --> 00:19:04.366
- One doesn't make those people from the first term bad.
- 00:19:04.366 --> 00:19:06.668
- They just weren't a fit.
- 00:19:06.668 --> 00:19:07.636
- So you ever take a job
- 00:19:07.636 --> 00:19:08.837
- Where you and your boss just weren't a fit for each other?
- 00:19:08.837 --> 00:19:10.706
- Of course.
- 00:19:10.706 --> 00:19:11.640
- I mean, it happens in this administration.
- 00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:13.875
- They knew they were going to win.
- 00:19:13.875 --> 00:19:15.010
- They thought they were going to win. they had a plan.
- 00:19:15.010 --> 00:19:16.612
- They had the idea of who they wanted to bring in.
- 00:19:16.612 --> 00:19:18.413
- For most of these jobs, they've made inspired picks.
- 00:19:18.413 --> 00:19:21.683
- Rubio is the best secretary of state we've ever had.
- 00:19:21.683 --> 00:19:24.620
- A great scott besson is a beast.
- 00:19:24.620 --> 00:19:26.989
- Okay.
- 00:19:26.989 --> 00:19:27.823
- Lee zeldin over at epa.
- 00:19:27.823 --> 00:19:30.459
- The things
- 00:19:30.459 --> 00:19:31.360
- He's done on the endangerment finding,
- 00:19:31.360 --> 00:19:32.794
- These are the consequential decisions go down the line.
- 00:19:32.794 --> 00:19:36.331
- And all these people that he chose
- 00:19:36.331 --> 00:19:38.600
- Hit the ground on day one, executing on his agenda.
- 00:19:38.600 --> 00:19:42.604
- They didn't wait.
- 00:19:42.604 --> 00:19:43.972
- They're not sitting around.
- 00:19:43.972 --> 00:19:45.207
- They're not over there enjoying the trappings of the offices.
- 00:19:45.207 --> 00:19:48.543
- They're in and out of the west wing
- 00:19:48.543 --> 00:19:49.645
- All day, getting instructions
- 00:19:49.645 --> 00:19:50.946
- From the president about what to do next.
- 00:19:50.946 --> 00:19:52.748
- They've been told, move quickly,
- 00:19:52.748 --> 00:19:55.317
- And they have all followed that instruction.
- 00:19:55.317 --> 00:19:57.819
- And it's working.
- 00:19:57.819 --> 00:19:59.154
- When you think about what he promised
- 00:19:59.154 --> 00:20:01.290
- And what they're delivering,
- 00:20:01.290 --> 00:20:03.058
- He's checked a lot of boxes from the campaign.
- 00:20:03.058 --> 00:20:04.993
- And, you know, his voters are happy about it.
- 00:20:04.993 --> 00:20:07.029
- No doubt.
- 00:20:07.029 --> 00:20:07.729
- It's almost a counterrevolution.
- 00:20:07.729 --> 00:20:09.965
- I guess you could say to the madness
- 00:20:09.965 --> 00:20:11.333
- We saw in the prior four years.
- 00:20:11.333 --> 00:20:13.268
- Well, i'll tell you something about the bar.
- 00:20:13.268 --> 00:20:14.469
- For years,
- 00:20:14.469 --> 00:20:15.637
- You had a, a president who obviously wasn't fit for office.
- 00:20:15.637 --> 00:20:18.640
- We're now learning about that.
- 00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:20.075
- You had an unelected staff
- 00:20:20.075 --> 00:20:22.210
- That was making all kinds of decisions, and, you know,
- 00:20:22.210 --> 00:20:25.580
- You had a president who had campaigned on being
- 00:20:25.580 --> 00:20:28.250
- A, you know, this moderate dealmaker
- 00:20:28.250 --> 00:20:29.751
- Who then could
- 00:20:29.751 --> 00:20:30.218
- Totally outsourced
- 00:20:30.218 --> 00:20:31.420
- His domestic policy agenda to the radicals in his party.
- 00:20:31.420 --> 00:20:35.257
- He sold the american people a bill of goods.
- 00:20:35.257 --> 00:20:37.359
- I'm capable and i'm moderate.
- 00:20:37.359 --> 00:20:39.795
- Yeah, none of that was true.
- 00:20:39.795 --> 00:20:41.596
- What donald trump told the american people
- 00:20:41.596 --> 00:20:43.365
- Is exactly what i'm going to do.
- 00:20:43.365 --> 00:20:45.133
- And now he's doing it.
- 00:20:45.133 --> 00:20:47.069
- You can say a lot of things about donald trump, but,
- 00:20:47.069 --> 00:20:48.937
- A you can never accuse him
- 00:20:48.937 --> 00:20:50.238
- Of not telling us what's on his mind.
- 00:20:50.238 --> 00:20:52.240
- And b, you can't accuse him of anything other
- 00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:54.843
- Than following the things that he said in the campaign.
- 00:20:54.843 --> 00:20:57.979
- He is making promises come true now.
- 00:20:57.979 --> 00:21:00.916
- The american people will have decisions to make in 26 and 28,
- 00:21:00.916 --> 00:21:04.486
- But the man keeps his promises. you have to admit.
- 00:21:04.486 --> 00:21:06.688
- Yeah, it's got about a minute left. last question.
- 00:21:06.688 --> 00:21:08.924
- The book chronicles the first months
- 00:21:08.924 --> 00:21:11.259
- Of president trump's return to office.
- 00:21:11.259 --> 00:21:13.161
- What do you see coming in the next three years?
- 00:21:13.161 --> 00:21:16.298
- What are some things
- 00:21:16.298 --> 00:21:17.199
- Maybe we can expect some big initiatives
- 00:21:17.199 --> 00:21:19.201
- Coming down the pipe, perhaps with this administration?
- 00:21:19.201 --> 00:21:21.903
- Well, i think a continued focus on winning the i race.
- 00:21:21.903 --> 00:21:25.107
- I asked president trump not too long ago, actually,
- 00:21:25.107 --> 00:21:27.843
- You know, is the fight for control of i with china?
- 00:21:27.843 --> 00:21:30.579
- Is this your version of the space race or the cold war?
- 00:21:30.579 --> 00:21:32.981
- And he said, it's all of that wrapped up into one.
- 00:21:32.981 --> 00:21:35.217
- So it's making sure that the united states is firmly
- 00:21:35.217 --> 00:21:38.487
- In control of the parameters of ai in the future,
- 00:21:38.487 --> 00:21:41.490
- And that we make enough energy to win it.
- 00:21:41.490 --> 00:21:44.259
- To me, when you think about, like, legacy
- 00:21:44.259 --> 00:21:47.562
- Winning ai battles against china and making enough energy
- 00:21:47.562 --> 00:21:50.766
- To win the battles, this isn't a short term issue.
- 00:21:50.766 --> 00:21:53.468
- This is a long term national security issue.
- 00:21:53.468 --> 00:21:55.737
- And i know his commitment to it well.
- 00:21:55.737 --> 00:21:57.305
- Scott, amazing.
- 00:21:57.305 --> 00:21:58.173
- There's so much to cover in the book.
- 00:21:58.173 --> 00:21:59.341
- By the way, doge of chapter on doge interviewed elon.
- 00:21:59.341 --> 00:22:01.943
- Yes, she did the most secure border in american history.
- 00:22:01.943 --> 00:22:04.813
- It came about about a week after he came in office.
- 00:22:04.813 --> 00:22:07.716
- You chronicle all in the book. it's a great one, scott.
- 00:22:07.716 --> 00:22:09.951
- We're glad you wrote it. good work, my friend. god bless.
- 00:22:09.951 --> 00:22:12.821
- Thanks again to scott jennings for that great breakdown, folks.
- 00:22:13.989 --> 00:22:16.625
- Once again, the book is called a revolution of common sense.
- 00:22:16.625 --> 00:22:19.728
- You can pick it up right
- 00:22:19.728 --> 00:22:20.695
- Now, amazon.com or wherever books are sold.
- 00:22:20.695 --> 00:22:24.399
- Coming up, my final thoughts on common sense in times
- 00:22:24.399 --> 00:22:28.170
- Where common sense is not so common, that's next.
- 00:22:28.170 --> 00:22:31.840
- They'll move.
- 00:22:31.840 --> 00:22:34.000
- They'll move.
- 00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:36.713
- Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight, folks.
- 00:22:37.581 --> 00:22:39.349
- As we wrap up here, in times where it seems common
- 00:22:39.349 --> 00:22:42.085
- Sense has taken a vacation
- 00:22:42.085 --> 00:22:43.921
- In many sections of the united states,
- 00:22:43.921 --> 00:22:45.823
- I think of proverbs chapter three verse 21, my son,
- 00:22:45.823 --> 00:22:49.593
- Do not let wisdom and understanding
- 00:22:49.593 --> 00:22:52.396
- Out of your sight preserve sound judgment and discretion.
- 00:22:52.396 --> 00:22:57.668
- Again, that is a cautionary tale from god almighty.
- 00:22:57.668 --> 00:23:00.704
- It was clearly ignored recently
- 00:23:00.704 --> 00:23:02.206
- In seattle and new york city with their choices for mayor,
- 00:23:02.206 --> 00:23:05.409
- But there is still hope for the united states writ large.
- 00:23:05.409 --> 00:23:08.946
- Revival is stirring right now.
- 00:23:08.946 --> 00:23:11.048
- God is on the throne, so be encouraged.
- 00:23:11.048 --> 00:23:13.750
- Tomorrow night, marissa strait from prager u is here.
- 00:23:13.750 --> 00:23:16.253
- Our good friend aaron tone, top terrorism analyst as well.
- 00:23:16.253 --> 00:23:19.456
- It's going to be good.
- 00:23:19.456 --> 00:23:20.357
- Until then, god bless you.
- 00:23:20.357 --> 00:23:22.826
- We'll see you soon.
- 00:23:22.826 --> 00:23:22.826
