4/14/26 -- Dan Ball w/ Rep. Beth Van Duyne, Steve Hilton, Bradley Geary, Father Frank Pavone, Dr. Brian Hooker · Real America with Dan Ball

0:00
Speaker 1: Straight ahead on Real America Tonight, Capital chaos as swirling
0:03
Speaker 1: allegations involving sex scandals sink the political careers of not
0:07
Speaker 1: just one, but two disgraced congressmen, one from both parties,
0:12
Speaker 1: Eric Swalwell and Tony Gonzalez. Texas Congressman Beth Vandyne is
0:16
Speaker 1: gonna sound off on this one tonight plus clash of
0:19
Speaker 1: the political titans in California, Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco
0:23
Speaker 1: and former Fox News host Steve Hilton our neck and
0:26
Speaker 1: neck in the Gubern troil contest in the Golden State.
0:29
Speaker 1: Steve will join us tonight to break down the numbers,
0:32
Speaker 1: but also the brutal collapse of Swalwell's campaign and peace
0:37
Speaker 1: or peril. A second surge of high stakes diplomacy could
0:40
Speaker 1: possibly descend in Turkey this weekend as delegations scramble to
0:45
Speaker 1: answer JD Vance's final and best offer, Let's get a
0:49
Speaker 1: peace deal. I'm dan Ball and Real America starts right now.
1:01
Speaker 2: I will not be a govern that toll rates violence
1:04
Speaker 2: against wid in.
1:05
Speaker 3: Our safe career.
1:07
Speaker 1: Eric. That didn't age too well, did it? The embattled
1:12
Speaker 1: California congressman, or is he still a congressman I don't know.
1:17
Speaker 1: Uh made that statement earlier this month, just as rumors
1:21
Speaker 1: were starting to erupt on social media regarding multiple, and
1:24
Speaker 1: I mean multiple, like I think over fifty allegations of
1:28
Speaker 1: sexual misconduct on his part. Those serious accusations led to
1:33
Speaker 1: Swalwell's decision to suspend his campaign over the weekend his
1:38
Speaker 1: run for gov, and then yesterday to resign from the House. Yikes.
1:44
Speaker 1: The same day he announced his exit, the House Ethics
1:47
Speaker 1: Committee uh oh announced they were launching a formal probe
1:51
Speaker 1: into the claims. Ah, step down before that stuff becomes public.
1:55
Speaker 1: I see what you did. Eric Swalwell also posted a
1:58
Speaker 1: mia koppa on social media, apologizing to his family and
2:01
Speaker 1: friends and constituents for mistakes in judgment. Okay, while he
2:07
Speaker 1: also said he would vow to fight all the false
2:09
Speaker 1: allegations against him. Uh huh, that's what an innocent man does,
2:14
Speaker 1: suspends his campaign for governor, resigns from Congress. Right, You're
2:19
Speaker 1: totally innocent, swallow Well, I mean Swollwell. This latest scandal
2:23
Speaker 1: has reignited scrutiny over Swollwell's past ties to good old
2:27
Speaker 1: Chinese operative Kristen Fang aka Fang Fang whereas my friend
2:33
Speaker 1: Troy I was like to say, yum yum. The FBI
2:35
Speaker 1: is reportedly moving to finally declassify the files tied to
2:39
Speaker 1: his connections to Fang Fang. How about you do it? Meantime,
2:44
Speaker 1: two accusers have now come forward to share why they
2:47
Speaker 1: finally broke their silence. In a joint interview the CBS
2:51
Speaker 1: News earlier today, Ali Samarco and Anica Albrich detailed a
2:55
Speaker 1: pattern of alleged misconduct by the seven term lawmaker. A
3:00
Speaker 1: third woman influencer, Cheyenne Hunt, also was present, and she
3:03
Speaker 1: was instrumental in bringing the stories to light. Now. Sim
3:07
Speaker 1: Marco and Abreck described a sense of total impunity, alleging
3:10
Speaker 1: Swolwell used Snapchat to send unsolicited graphic photos and try
3:15
Speaker 1: to lure young women to his hotel under the guise
3:20
Speaker 1: of a mentorship. Do women say they spoke out to
3:23
Speaker 1: derail his gubernatorial bid fearing that his governor, he would
3:26
Speaker 1: have more power to prey on victims? And then there's this,
3:31
Speaker 1: If they deserve bashing on both sides of the aisle,
3:33
Speaker 1: I give it to him, folks. Disgraced Texas Congressman Republican
3:37
Speaker 1: Tony Gonzalez also announced his resignation yesterday as well, narrowly
3:42
Speaker 1: avoiding a historic bipartisan expulsion vote why sexual misconduct? Just
3:48
Speaker 1: like Swollwell, The announcement came just after an hour after
3:51
Speaker 1: the California Democrat stepped down, as both parties moved to
3:55
Speaker 1: purge these members because of their predatory behavior. Gonzales, who
4:00
Speaker 1: admitted to an affair with a staffer who later died
4:03
Speaker 1: by suicide, was under intense investigation by the Health Ethics
4:06
Speaker 1: Committee for creating a hostile work environment and soliciting explicit
4:10
Speaker 1: photos from his staff. Benzalez had already withdrawn from his
4:14
Speaker 1: reelection runoff bid that was coming up back in March,
4:18
Speaker 1: but the threat of the floor vote to remove him
4:22
Speaker 1: that did him in. I guess again, why would an
4:25
Speaker 1: innocent man run? The vacancy triggers now a high stake
4:28
Speaker 1: special election for the twenty third district, a critical battleground
4:31
Speaker 1: stretching from San Antonio to El Paso. With the House
4:34
Speaker 1: majority literally hanging by a thread, national leaders are scrambling
4:37
Speaker 1: to fill that seat that could determine the balance of
4:41
Speaker 1: power in Washington, d C. And so, leading off the
4:45
Speaker 1: show tonight to discuss these two huge bombshells and the
4:49
Speaker 1: future of House control. Hmm, that's the big one. Texas congresswoman,
4:54
Speaker 1: and I know she's got an opinion on this. Beth
4:56
Speaker 1: van Din back on Real America. Beth, it's nice to
4:59
Speaker 1: see you. I'm sorry it's under these circumstances, but I
5:02
Speaker 1: know you've probably been fuming mad when you heard about
5:06
Speaker 1: these two guys, what they've done to women, what they're
5:09
Speaker 1: accused of doing to women, and then them tuck and
5:12
Speaker 1: tail and running before we could actually get all the
5:15
Speaker 1: facts from the Ethics Committee weigh in. Please, Beth, look.
5:21
Speaker 3: You if this is not hard, don't sleep with your staff,
5:25
Speaker 3: don't sexually harass people that work for you, and guess what,
5:29
Speaker 3: don't rape women. This should not be a very hard
5:33
Speaker 3: message to understand. If you can't have that kind of
5:35
Speaker 3: self control as a congress member, quit right now and
5:39
Speaker 3: go get the help that you and your family needs
5:41
Speaker 3: so there's not further victims. Yeah, am I mad. I'm
5:43
Speaker 3: very mad. I think this makes the entire Congress look horrible.
5:47
Speaker 3: I've looked at these victims families, I look at these
5:49
Speaker 3: victims themselves. Is this is an area that I am
5:52
Speaker 3: very intimately involved and engaged in and it's it's heartbreaking,
5:56
Speaker 3: but it also makes me really mad. Now, now the
5:59
Speaker 3: people on the Texas twenty third district have already made
6:02
Speaker 3: their decision. They already voted Congressman Gonzalez out, and they
6:05
Speaker 3: already said that we want change. Now you have Eric Swawell,
6:09
Speaker 3: who was you know, still I guess he's now, who
6:11
Speaker 3: just resigned today, but he is still a member of
6:15
Speaker 3: Congress and it was also running for governor of California.
6:18
Speaker 3: And what I find amazing there are people who have
6:20
Speaker 3: been associated with him for years that knew about this behavior,
6:25
Speaker 3: knew about his practices, knew about these people that he
6:28
Speaker 3: had hurt, and they put up with it. Why because
6:31
Speaker 3: he was their attack dog and he was doing the
6:33
Speaker 3: bidding of Democrats. He was being a good Democrat. They
6:36
Speaker 3: wanted to keep him in power because he was doing
6:38
Speaker 3: exactly what they wanted into even though they knew he
6:42
Speaker 3: was victimizing people. And it's astounding. But again, you know,
6:46
Speaker 3: we have seen we have seen these behaviors from Democrats
6:49
Speaker 3: and you know, good riddens.
6:51
Speaker 1: Now, Beth, I can't believe that you would say that
6:53
Speaker 1: these people knew because according to former Speaker Nancy Pelosi,
6:58
Speaker 1: she didn't know. We're going to hear it from the
7:00
Speaker 1: horse's mouth, and then you brought up attack dog. I
7:03
Speaker 1: appreciate that because it seems like Adam Schiff took Eric
7:06
Speaker 1: Swallowell under his wing a few years back, and they
7:09
Speaker 1: both were attacked dogs against President Trump. So please let's
7:13
Speaker 1: roll Nancy Pelosi's sound bite declaring that they knew nothing
7:16
Speaker 1: about Eric's behavior even though I heard about it on
7:19
Speaker 1: social media months ago, which means they knew about it
7:22
Speaker 1: years ago. And then let's hear Adam talking about character
7:26
Speaker 1: and his friend Eric, roll both of them.
7:28
Speaker 4: Some Republicans and others are saying that Democrats turned kind
7:31
Speaker 4: of a blind eye, that they knew.
7:33
Speaker 1: What he was up now, that is absolutely positive. It's
7:37
Speaker 1: true that they may say that, but it is absolutely
7:39
Speaker 1: had no idea, none whatsoever, none whatsoever.
7:43
Speaker 5: He did not know right from wrong, and he was
7:46
Speaker 5: fundamentally indecent. And it wasn't that the senators should remove
7:51
Speaker 5: him because he was indecent and he couldn't tell right
7:54
Speaker 5: from wrong, and he couldn't tell the truth, and those
7:56
Speaker 5: things didn't matter all to him, but because they mattered
7:59
Speaker 5: to my colleagues, I appealed to them that he is
8:04
Speaker 5: not who you are.
8:06
Speaker 1: Wow, he's bashing Trump about character and saying he's not
8:11
Speaker 1: who you are. Eric, Like, Eric, is this perfect angel?
8:15
Speaker 1: And how about Nancy saying we didn't know, we were
8:18
Speaker 1: shocked Beth.
8:21
Speaker 3: Well, Adam Schiff's comments definitely did not age well. And
8:24
Speaker 3: Nancy Pelosi you got to question her judgment as well,
8:27
Speaker 3: because if you remember right, she's the one who.
8:29
Speaker 1: Put him on the Intel Committee.
8:31
Speaker 3: Yep, you put somebody to get all sorts of information
8:34
Speaker 3: that you knew had already had a relationship with a
8:38
Speaker 3: Chinese spy, and you kept this person on Intel, which
8:43
Speaker 3: received some of the most important information that any congressmanber
8:47
Speaker 3: can ever receive, and dangerous, potentially dangerous information if you
8:51
Speaker 3: are slipping with the enemy, which is exactly what we
8:53
Speaker 3: knew Eric was doing. And these things apparently just flew
8:57
Speaker 3: in one ear and out the other that they knew
8:59
Speaker 3: that they were doing, and they over they just overlooked it.
9:02
Speaker 3: And now what you're seeing is finally these women are
9:04
Speaker 3: coming out and they're talking about it because they feel
9:07
Speaker 3: that they have an ability now in numbers. But isn't
9:10
Speaker 3: it a horrible thing that you actually had have numbers
9:12
Speaker 3: to come out and be able to say this person
9:15
Speaker 3: victimize me, and to finally how the party say, you
9:18
Speaker 3: know what, enough is enough. He's no longer he's no
9:21
Speaker 3: longer a useful idiot to us. So now we can
9:24
Speaker 3: finally throw him out with a trash.
9:25
Speaker 1: You know what I said, Beth? Where the hell was
9:27
Speaker 1: the me too? Movement?
9:28
Speaker 6: Right?
9:29
Speaker 1: Anyway? Texas Congressman Beth van Dina's always thank you for
9:32
Speaker 1: keeping it real. Appreciate you.
9:35
Speaker 3: It's great to see and thank you for for highlighting this.
9:37
Speaker 1: Yep. Of course, all righty Coming up after the break,
9:39
Speaker 1: Sheriff Chad Bianco, former Fox News Steve Hilton in a
9:43
Speaker 1: dead heat to become California's next governor. They're actually ahead
9:47
Speaker 1: of all the Democrats. So how does Swallwells bowing out
9:51
Speaker 1: of the race affect their campaigns? Steve will join us
9:54
Speaker 1: next way in plus, could there be an actual peace
9:57
Speaker 1: deal in the making between the US and Ran and
10:00
Speaker 1: Trump told a New York Times reporter on the phone
10:01
Speaker 1: earlier today. Stay in Turkey, something might happen in the
10:05
Speaker 1: next few days. And then a bit later on the program,
10:07
Speaker 1: we're going to dive into the controversy swirling around President Trump,
10:10
Speaker 1: the Pope, and the Catholic Church. Oh yeah, I'm waiting
10:13
Speaker 1: on this one. Don't go away. For all of our

10:41
Speaker 1: you can't get anywhere else. Welcome back. Let's move out
10:58
Speaker 1: west to California and continue now with the downfall of
11:00
Speaker 1: mister Eric Swalwell, the disgrace. California congressman officially exited the
11:05
Speaker 1: governor's race yesterday, Swallwell announcing on Sunday he would suspend
11:09
Speaker 1: and then of course step down from Congress. This, of course,
11:11
Speaker 1: we talked about earlier, all the pressure from more than
11:14
Speaker 1: fifty former aids and workers talking about his sexual harassment
11:18
Speaker 1: and misconduct. While Swalwell maintains it's all false. He did
11:22
Speaker 1: say I can no longer lead my campaign effectively while
11:25
Speaker 1: I fight these charges. Yeah, just say guilty and move on.
11:28
Speaker 1: Pell meantime, let's talk about the people who are leading
11:32
Speaker 1: in the polls, and hopefully we'll become our next governor
11:35
Speaker 1: a Republican. Deep riffs, though, emerged at this past weekend's
11:39
Speaker 1: California GOP convention here in San Diego, as the party
11:43
Speaker 1: failed to endorse a candidate for governor. Riverside County Sheriff
11:47
Speaker 1: Chad Bianco narrowly edged out Steve Hilton forty nine to
11:50
Speaker 1: forty four percent, both falling short of the sixty percent
11:54
Speaker 1: requirement to get that backing Now, the inability to pick
11:57
Speaker 1: a clear winner leaves the party kind of parked in
11:59
Speaker 1: new and then also kind of defies President Trump's endorsement
12:03
Speaker 1: of Hilton. Despite the outcome, though, Steve Hilton says he's
12:06
Speaker 1: optimistic and he joins us right now from literally on
12:09
Speaker 1: the road campaigning. Here is GOP California. You give it
12:12
Speaker 1: to a candidate, Steve Hilton, Steve, nice to see you again,
12:15
Speaker 1: literally on the road. Yes, Chad was on last night commenting,
12:19
Speaker 1: so I thought all fair in love and war. We
12:21
Speaker 1: have you on, give you the same airtime and comment
12:24
Speaker 1: on the convention. How did it go and how did
12:27
Speaker 1: you feel when they did that whatever you call it
12:30
Speaker 1: straw pole or when they decided who they would endorse
12:32
Speaker 1: or who they win.
12:34
Speaker 6: Oh great to be with you, Dan, and I know
12:35
Speaker 6: we're rushing around the state trying to bring kick out
12:38
Speaker 6: this disastrous Democrat regime.
12:41
Speaker 1: Totally understanding.
12:42
Speaker 6: We went into that convention knowing that Chad had the
12:46
Speaker 6: inside track. He's been playing the inside game for a
12:48
Speaker 6: long time. He'd got the endorsement of all the legislators
12:52
Speaker 6: in the swamp in Sacramento, So you know, he was
12:54
Speaker 6: saying as late as Friday before the vote on Sunday
12:58
Speaker 6: that he had the votes to get the endorsement and
13:02
Speaker 6: that I was trying to block it, but.
13:04
Speaker 2: I wouldn't because I didn't have the votes.
13:05
Speaker 6: So the fact that it was a split decision at
13:08
Speaker 6: the convention is a big win for us. So we
13:10
Speaker 6: leave there very very happy that the California Republican Party
13:14
Speaker 6: did not contradict President Trump's endorsement. Of course, everybody knows
13:18
Speaker 6: that the President's endorsement is the one that matters, But
13:21
Speaker 6: the real point is that I'm leader. I'm the leading
13:24
Speaker 6: candidate by far, and the lead is growing even before
13:26
Speaker 6: President Trump's endorsement. In a couple of the polls last week,
13:30
Speaker 6: I was ahead of all the candidates including Chad, by six, seven,
13:35
Speaker 6: sometimes nine points. And so our lead is growing and
13:38
Speaker 6: we can expect it to grow further following the President's endorsement.
13:42
Speaker 6: And I think this is really the moment that we
13:45
Speaker 6: have to understand the danger posed by the Eric's Wilwell situation.
13:50
Speaker 6: You've now got two Democrats right there at the top,
13:53
Speaker 6: pretty much tied Tom Stie and Katie Porter. And if
13:56
Speaker 6: we don't get behind one Republican candidate, the real risk
14:01
Speaker 6: this year is two Democrats in the top two. It's
14:05
Speaker 6: obvious which candidate we need to get behind. The candidate
14:08
Speaker 6: who is leading in the polls by far, the candidate
14:12
Speaker 6: leading in fundraising by far, and the candidate entorsed by
14:17
Speaker 6: the leader of the Republican Party and our president.
14:20
Speaker 1: I got you, Steve, I got you. I got you.
14:22
Speaker 1: The President Dorstcha, I totally got that. And you know
14:24
Speaker 1: my feeling on that. We discussed it last week when
14:27
Speaker 1: you were on I don't turn on my friends, even
14:29
Speaker 1: though I support what President Trump does, and I back
14:32
Speaker 1: all of his policy. Let me ask you something, Steve,
14:34
Speaker 1: because this one bothered me a bit. This happened to
14:36
Speaker 1: me when I ran for Congress in eighteen put that
14:38
Speaker 1: flyer up. Did you approve a flyer that went out
14:41
Speaker 1: that put a bullseye over Chad Bianco's head? Because I
14:44
Speaker 1: know you know he and I'm sure you do. You
14:47
Speaker 1: all get death threats. I get death threats, and there
14:49
Speaker 1: are some serious wackos out there in the Democrat Party
14:51
Speaker 1: and on the left, and people will take action when
14:54
Speaker 1: they see crap like this, and so I just wonder
14:56
Speaker 1: if there's something you approved and you were okay with,
14:59
Speaker 1: because I know that when you down in the polls
15:00
Speaker 1: for months and months, you decided to use the video
15:03
Speaker 1: of him kneeling and say that he needed to blm,
15:04
Speaker 1: which he addressed last night. He said he was praying
15:07
Speaker 1: that kneeling, And so I'm just wondering, in this climate
15:09
Speaker 1: where Charlie Kirk gets murdered, President Trump gets shot, did
15:12
Speaker 1: you think this was okay? Because these are kind of
15:14
Speaker 1: the dirty tactics that Democrats usually do, and I didn't
15:17
Speaker 1: think US Republicans would go there. So I just wonder
15:19
Speaker 1: know if you approve that.
15:21
Speaker 6: No, I did not approve it. Okay, and more than that,
15:24
Speaker 6: what you just showed on stream is fake. It is
15:27
Speaker 6: a doctored version of a mailer that we sent out
15:31
Speaker 6: which looks nothing like that. This was a despicable, disgusting
15:36
Speaker 6: smear by Chad Banco's campaign, Okay, to make it look
15:40
Speaker 6: as if we did that. It is absolutely disgusting that
15:44
Speaker 6: he did that. What you showed is not what we
15:47
Speaker 6: sent out. It is totally doctored, and we will send
15:51
Speaker 6: you the original version so you can show your viewers
15:55
Speaker 6: side by side the real mailer and the fake doctored
15:59
Speaker 6: mailer put out by Chad Bianco and his campaign in
16:03
Speaker 6: order to smear us in the most disgusting and reckless way.
16:07
Speaker 6: It was Chad Bianco who put his head in a
16:10
Speaker 6: target in order to smear our campaign. It is totally unacceptable.
16:16
Speaker 1: I wish I could bring both of you together so
16:18
Speaker 1: we could try and figure this out. So we get
16:19
Speaker 1: a Republican in Sacramento, Steve, whether it's you, you will get
16:22
Speaker 1: a report.
16:23
Speaker 6: It will be me, the leading candidate endorsed by the president.
16:28
Speaker 6: That's what's going to happen.
16:30
Speaker 1: All right, Steve Hilton on the campaign trail in California.
16:34
Speaker 1: Somebody's going to be the next governor. Let's hope it's
16:36
Speaker 1: a Republican. Steve, God bless take care out there. Thank
16:39
Speaker 1: you very much, Dag, good to be with you. Yep up. Next,
16:42
Speaker 1: peace talks continue between the US and Iran. This is
16:45
Speaker 1: the Trump administration says. All ships go into the Strait
16:47
Speaker 1: of our moves will face inspection and approval from US
16:51

17:47
Speaker 1: Middle East conflict could be back on the table this weekend.
17:51
Speaker 1: We'll see multiple sources in Islamabad and Tehran say that
17:56
Speaker 1: US and Iranian delegations are clearing their schedules for our
18:00
Speaker 1: possible return to Pakistan this weekend. Can we get it
18:03
Speaker 1: done well? The White House has yet to confirm. Iranian
18:06
Speaker 1: officials indicate that Friday through Sunday is being kept open
18:10
Speaker 1: for a second round of high stakes diplomacy. This, of course,
18:14
Speaker 1: follows last week's historic, first of its kind meeting between
18:17
Speaker 1: our Vice President JD. Vance and the Speaker of the
18:19
Speaker 1: Parliament of Iran. Despite the face to face, we had
18:22
Speaker 1: no breakthrough. Vice President characterized the current US proposal as
18:26
Speaker 1: a final and best offer, leaving the ball in Tehran's court.
18:31
Speaker 1: The core issue continues to focus on the situation in
18:34
Speaker 1: the strait of our moods, and of course, the nukes
18:37
Speaker 1: tensions continue to escalate. The US Navy now has got
18:41
Speaker 1: the blockade in that critical waterway. Traffic through the strategic
18:45
Speaker 1: choke point has slowed to a crawl fillowing the collapse
18:48
Speaker 1: of those talks. President Trump ordered the measure targeting all
18:52
Speaker 1: vessels entering or exiting Iranian ports, calling it a necessary
18:56
Speaker 1: move to end what he described as Iran's world extortion.
19:01
Speaker 1: Now Iran vows a decisive response. US Central Command says
19:05
Speaker 1: it will continue to permit passage for ships headed to
19:09
Speaker 1: neutral golf allies, and I saw a report that said
19:12
Speaker 1: that Navy did a great job on day one. Not
19:14
Speaker 1: one of those ships from Iran, common or going got through.
19:18
Speaker 1: Tensions also rising within NATO as top allies reject President
19:23
Speaker 1: Trump's naval blockade in the Strait. Really, don't you guys
19:27
Speaker 1: get your oil and natural gas from there? Don't you
19:29
Speaker 1: need it? The British Prime Minister good Old Starmer told
19:33
Speaker 1: the BBC that the UK will not be dragged into
19:35
Speaker 1: a war, joining France and Turkey refusing to provide support whatever.
19:41
Speaker 1: While the US moves to choke off the Iranian ports,
19:44
Speaker 1: European leaders are pushing for a separate diplomatic mission to
19:47
Speaker 1: try and restore the shipping lanes. President Trump, of course
19:50
Speaker 1: blasting the move, warning that NATO's future and our payments
19:56
Speaker 1: are now in question. Joining me now with more insight
19:59
Speaker 1: into what's happening in straight with our navy. He's retired
20:01
Speaker 1: Navy seal from Seal Tame six, Bradley Geary, Back on
20:05
Speaker 1: real America, Bradly, nice to see you again, Let's go
20:08
Speaker 1: first with the mission of the Navy right now and
20:10
Speaker 1: what they're doing. I heard President Trump, I believe yesterday,
20:13
Speaker 1: put a post out saying that they were going to
20:15
Speaker 1: stop every ship be prepared to get boarded. And if
20:18
Speaker 1: you try to sneak through or if a ran put
20:21
Speaker 1: any ships out there, those little fast boats to try
20:23
Speaker 1: and stop our navy from doing it, they would meet
20:25
Speaker 1: the same fate that the drug dealers met down off
20:28
Speaker 1: the shores of Venezuela. And I remember watching thirty some
20:31
Speaker 1: of those videos of our boys just blowing the hell
20:34
Speaker 1: out of those drug dealers boats and the drugs. So
20:36
Speaker 1: describe what's happening over there right now with the Navy.
20:39
Speaker 1: What are our assets, what are we using? And if
20:42
Speaker 1: they break the rules, what's their fate going to be?
20:45
Speaker 2: That's right, Dan, thanks for having me on tonight.
20:47
Speaker 7: What we're seeing here is critical strategic messaging and strategic deterrence.
20:52
Speaker 2: If anyone's learned.
20:53
Speaker 7: Anything from watching President Trump, he does what he means,
20:56
Speaker 7: and he means what he says.
20:57
Speaker 2: So I Ron should take this very very seriously.
21:00
Speaker 7: United States Navy war vessels enforcing a block eight is
21:04
Speaker 7: big business. I guarantee you We've got seals out there,
21:07
Speaker 7: and our switch operators is maritime commandos ready to visit, board,
21:10
Speaker 7: search and siege anyone that breaks that blockade that presents
21:14
Speaker 7: themselves a high risk target. We're not going to get
21:16
Speaker 7: We're not going to get through this. You're not going
21:17
Speaker 7: to get through the United States Navy. We've come a
21:20
Speaker 7: long way from years ago when Iran detained some of
21:23
Speaker 7: our small boat teams out in that in that region.
21:25
Speaker 7: Everyone remembers how humiliating that was in the United States
21:28
Speaker 7: of America to see American sailors on their knees runing officials.
21:33
Speaker 7: A long way from there from where we are today.
21:35
Speaker 7: Iran better take this seriously. President Trump means business.
21:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that was Obama. Trump's not an apologist. We're
21:41
Speaker 1: not going to drop off billions in cash on pallets
21:44
Speaker 1: or wire them ten or eleven billion like Biden did.
21:46
Speaker 1: That's not going to happen with Trump.
21:47
Speaker 2: A pass for sure.
21:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, militarily if these talks don't go well this weekend,
21:52
Speaker 1: if we do have that second round, Trump has said
21:55
Speaker 1: pretty much and I know they sent another aircraft carrier
21:57
Speaker 1: I think today to the region. We're going to hit
21:59
Speaker 1: them harder than ever before. I don't even know if
22:01
Speaker 1: that's possible. What do they have left, Bradley, Because I mean,
22:05
Speaker 1: we're not going ground troops because we don't want to
22:07
Speaker 1: hurt the innocent lives Trump's trying to free from this
22:10
Speaker 1: evil regime. But I mean one hundred and forty eight
22:12
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty eight ships, every jet down, ninety percent
22:16
Speaker 1: of their drones, most of their ballistic missiles. Like, what
22:19
Speaker 1: do they have left if we really hit them harder
22:21
Speaker 1: this time?
22:22
Speaker 2: Not much.
22:22
Speaker 7: It's remarkable that they're even still pretending to be in
22:25
Speaker 7: the fight, Dan, And it's telling that Vice President Van says,
22:29
Speaker 7: this is our best.
22:30
Speaker 2: And final offer.
22:32
Speaker 7: If anyone has started the art of negotiations or read
22:35
Speaker 7: the art of the deal, they should take this very,
22:37
Speaker 7: very very seriously. This is the last chance Iran has
22:40
Speaker 7: before we come in with more arsenal.
22:42
Speaker 2: To answer your question, what do we have left?
22:44
Speaker 7: Lots there's a lot of arsenal remaining in the United
22:46
Speaker 7: States inventory, and we will keep doing this.
22:48
Speaker 2: We'll keep mowing the lawn, which is I think.
22:50
Speaker 7: The right strategic approdes in answer to all of the
22:54
Speaker 7: things Iran has done over the years. My friend lived
22:56
Speaker 7: in the millions for ten years a prior sealed teammate
22:58
Speaker 7: of mine, and he said Iran as system overturned countries
23:01
Speaker 7: in the peninsula, point by point. He evacuated where he
23:05
Speaker 7: lived in Qatar before our presidential election. This was set
23:08
Speaker 7: in motion long before President and Trump inherded this problem.
23:11
Speaker 7: He's now solving that problem. Iron should take this seriously.
23:14
Speaker 7: He does what he means, He means what he says.
23:16
Speaker 1: Bradley Gary, former Navy seal. Pardon me, they're like Marines,
23:19
Speaker 1: Navy seal. We don't say farmer Navy seal from Seal
23:22
Speaker 1: Team six. Bradley, Thanks for the input, brother, Take care orders.
23:25
Speaker 2: Thanks Dan, I have a good one you too.
23:27
Speaker 1: Straight ahead, speaking of wars, the war of words and
23:30
Speaker 1: posts and memes between President Trump and the Pope and
23:34
Speaker 1: a few millionaire podcasters and some brand new Catholics like
23:38
Speaker 1: Carrie and Canvas. Oh yeah, I'm going to weigh in
23:40
Speaker 1: on this one, and I'll have a priest from the
23:43
Speaker 1: Catholic Church weighing on as well. Don't you go away,

Speaker 1: conservative talk you can't get anywhere else. Welcome back, all right, folks,
24:25
Speaker 1: let me begin this segment with a trigger warning for
24:27
Speaker 1: folks out there who might be thin skinned. I might
24:30
Speaker 1: say a few things my opinion that will rustle some
24:33
Speaker 1: of your feathers, So put your big boy pants on
24:35
Speaker 1: and get ready for some truth. Over the past seventy
24:38
Speaker 1: two hours, a lot has been said, especially online, about
24:41
Speaker 1: the ongoing back and forth or feud between President Trump
24:44
Speaker 1: and the Pope. Some and I say some, not all.
24:47
Speaker 1: Some Catholics are now raging over what the President said
24:50
Speaker 1: on truth Social about the Pope and then an image
24:53
Speaker 1: he posted the next day. It was an AI image,
24:55
Speaker 1: which he later deleted. So let's address what he said
25:00
Speaker 1: and the post and tackle this outrage again. I believe
25:04
Speaker 1: it's only being fueled by a few podcasters out there,
25:07
Speaker 1: and I'll name a few like Candice Owens, Carrie Prejean Bowler,
25:11
Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson, and a couple others. First I'll make my
25:14
Speaker 1: saying this. I'm always leary of folks who recently found
25:18
Speaker 1: their faith and are out there claiming to know best
25:21
Speaker 1: or that. If I don't follow them or their church,
25:23
Speaker 1: then somehow I'm not a real believer. So here's what
25:27
Speaker 1: Trump put out. I mean, he ripped the Pope. He
25:29
Speaker 1: did right, He called the Pope weak, He ripped him
25:33
Speaker 1: for his stance on the war with Iran, He ripped
25:35
Speaker 1: him for a lot of other stuff. And I get it.
25:38
Speaker 1: President Trump isn't a man of the cloth. He says
25:41
Speaker 1: it like it is, like it or not. So if
25:44
Speaker 1: you take issue with that as a Catholic, well that's
25:46
Speaker 1: between you, the Pope, God and Trump. Now show the image.
25:49
Speaker 1: This is the image he posted and then deleted. This
25:52
Speaker 1: is it now. He says he deleted it because everybody
25:56
Speaker 1: was saying you tried to be like Jesus. This is blasphemy,
26:00
Speaker 1: he says, it wasn't. He said he thought he was
26:02
Speaker 1: like a healer in this picture, a doctor again, that's
26:04
Speaker 1: up to you. You go with what you gotta go with. Anyway,
26:09
Speaker 1: I'm gonna push that aside. I'm gonna go back to
26:12
Speaker 1: this fight between religions because to me, the Carries, the Catholics,
26:18
Speaker 1: the Tuckers, you know who I'm talking about, that are
26:19
Speaker 1: out there trying to pit Christians against Catholics, and Muslims
26:23
Speaker 1: against Christians, and Jews against everybody and everything they're doing
26:27
Speaker 1: kind of sounds like Islam convert you Infidel, are off
26:33
Speaker 1: with your head. Of course, it's not that dramatic, but
26:35
Speaker 1: you get my point, and we're gonna go down that
26:38
Speaker 1: rabbit hole in just a second. But I wanted to
26:40
Speaker 1: get out of the way that Look, do I agree
26:43
Speaker 1: with those posts the President made as far as the
26:45
Speaker 1: Pope goes, I'm not Catholic. It didn't offend me. As
26:49
Speaker 1: far as the picture, that's up to you. You know,
26:53
Speaker 1: he came out, he made a statement in front of
26:54
Speaker 1: the Oval Office. He said what he said. If you
26:57
Speaker 1: don't think he meant it, that's up to you. The
27:00
Speaker 1: President's not a perfect man. He's not a holy man,
27:02
Speaker 1: he's not a man of the cloth. He doesn't stand
27:05
Speaker 1: at a pulpit every day preaching salvation to you, or
27:08
Speaker 1: riding around an armored car nicknamed after him like the Popemobile,
27:11
Speaker 1: and telling you to kiss the ring and believe in
27:13
Speaker 1: the Catholic Church. That's not what he does. So again,
27:16
Speaker 1: if you think it was blasphemous, can you separate the
27:20
Speaker 1: man and his policy? Okay over a post. I'm not
27:25
Speaker 1: going to spend my time on this show condemning forty
27:28
Speaker 1: seven for every post he makes. That would take all day,
27:32
Speaker 1: that would take a week, that would take years. Anyway,
27:35
Speaker 1: back to this divide within MAGA, and again, I still
27:39
Speaker 1: think it's a select few that are making these statements,
27:43
Speaker 1: and I believe these statements are very dangerous for Christians
27:46
Speaker 1: and the future of our republic. And these statements being
27:49
Speaker 1: made by these millionaire podcasters are such that it again
27:53
Speaker 1: pits Christians against other Christians and against Jews while closing
27:58
Speaker 1: up to Muslims, you know, the ones that want to
28:01
Speaker 1: kill you if you don't become one of them. Show
28:04
Speaker 1: a couple brief clips.
28:06
Speaker 4: But it's not just mockery of Islam, and no president
28:11
Speaker 4: should mock Islam. That's not your job. This is not
28:13
Speaker 4: a theocracy. We don't go to war with other theocracies
28:16
Speaker 4: to find out which theocracy is more effective. We are
28:19
Speaker 4: not a theocracy, and God willing, we never will be,
28:22
Speaker 4: because theocracies corrupt the religion.
28:24
Speaker 1: Well, you know that.
28:25
Speaker 4: It's primitive and dangerous, and you know, just silly propaganda
28:31
Speaker 4: about Islam.
28:33
Speaker 2: You love America, I do.
28:35
Speaker 1: Capitalism should not be anywhere near Christianity.
28:39
Speaker 8: You think some of their morality and some of their
28:44
Speaker 8: prescriptions about daily life have a lot more in common
28:48
Speaker 8: with a traditional Catholic than any Jewish teaching I've ever heard.
28:52
Speaker 9: Do you remember the biggest thing in the world was
28:54
Speaker 9: that they were putting a little mosque a few blocks
28:56
Speaker 9: away from where the World Trade Center had collapsed.
29:00
Speaker 1: They made this.
29:01
Speaker 9: Out like they're replacing the towers with a mosque and
29:04
Speaker 9: all the Sharia law is coming to America. And when
29:07
Speaker 9: they were trying to sell the next war, they were
29:09
Speaker 9: fine with, like be really worried about radical Islam. This
29:12
Speaker 9: was the big criticism of Obama from every dumb Marco
29:15
Speaker 9: Rubio Republican. He won't even say radical Islamic jihad.
29:20
Speaker 10: Why does it seem that Jewish people are able to
29:23
Speaker 10: get away with more. You have a black man who
29:24
Speaker 10: did something. It was wrong. He got hit down. You
29:26
Speaker 10: know you have a Jewish person, they are just feeling
29:29
Speaker 10: so comfortable, like Rabbi Schmooli. He's like, I can do
29:30
Speaker 10: a two year open harassment campaign. No one's gonna touch me.
29:33
Speaker 1: What is that?
29:34
Speaker 10: If we can't call that Jewish supremacy, what can we
29:36
Speaker 10: call it? I was on the Zaiaa side. Let's not
29:38
Speaker 10: forget this for years. Social media completely transformed my perspective
29:42
Speaker 10: on what's happening in Israel and Palestine. High American Muslim
29:44
Speaker 10: fan here in the spirit of friendship between our faiths,
29:47
Speaker 10: here is an excerpt from the Kurana. I think all
29:49
Speaker 10: of us are realizing the tremendous need for true faith
29:53
Speaker 10: right now.
29:54
Speaker 1: See what I mean? Now? You know, I was born
29:57
Speaker 1: and raised in a Mennonite home, very strict right, and
30:00
Speaker 1: I always was taught that the Holy Father was God above,
30:04
Speaker 1: and that he sent his son Jesus Christ to save
30:06
Speaker 1: us all, and that if we believe, repent for our
30:09
Speaker 1: sins and try to lead the best faithful life we can,
30:12
Speaker 1: full stop, we're going to heaven. I was never told
30:16
Speaker 1: by my faithful old grandmother who raised me, that any
30:19
Speaker 1: other religion or any other Christian Church was better than
30:23
Speaker 1: any other. So for all the folks out there that
30:26
Speaker 1: are acting holier than thou, like Carrie Candace Tucker and
30:30
Speaker 1: the ones that are bragging up the Catholic Church saying
30:33
Speaker 1: it's better, it's the new Covenant. It's the only way
30:36
Speaker 1: to be saved, to go to Heaven. You shouldn't be
30:39
Speaker 1: putting your faith in a church or any men walking
30:41
Speaker 1: around in robes. And let me give you a little
30:43
Speaker 1: history lesson in case y' all forgot, because I was
30:46
Speaker 1: there reporting on it. We're going to go back to
30:48
Speaker 1: two thousand and two. Set the scene the Boston Globe newsroom.
30:52
Speaker 1: It was a buzz. They were about to break a
30:54
Speaker 1: huge story that would shock the world and the faithful.
30:58
Speaker 1: The Catholic Church, the holiest of all hollies, had been
31:01
Speaker 1: covering up the dirtiest of dirty secrets for decades. I'm
31:05
Speaker 1: talking sex, alcohol, drugs, rape, molestations, fetuses and babies dumped
31:10
Speaker 1: into church wells. These are all facts, folks, look them
31:14
Speaker 1: up from twenty four years ago. In fact, it was
31:17
Speaker 1: uncovered that they had a plan at the Vatican City
31:20
Speaker 1: in place for years they wouldn't come out and air
31:23
Speaker 1: their dirty laundry to the public and then ask for
31:25
Speaker 1: hour and God's forgiveness. Oh no, no, they would just
31:29
Speaker 1: transfer these people in robes to a different state, a
31:32
Speaker 1: different country, a whole new church. It was like they
31:35
Speaker 1: were cutting out of cancer and then implanting the tumor
31:38
Speaker 1: into another church so they could prey on a new congregation.
31:42
Speaker 1: Oh maybe a new altar boy will get molested, a
31:44
Speaker 1: new nun will get raped. The headlines don't lie, folks,
31:48
Speaker 1: if you're old enough to remember twenty four years ago,
31:51
Speaker 1: put them up. The world knew what the Catholic Church
31:55
Speaker 1: had been doing for years and years and years. As
32:01
Speaker 1: I sit here today and I read over these old headlines,
32:04
Speaker 1: I think about how some in the Church today, like
32:06
Speaker 1: the carries and the canvases, are preaching down to the
32:08
Speaker 1: rest of us while they cozy up to Muslims and
32:11
Speaker 1: Islam while hating on the Jews and President Trump. It
32:15
Speaker 1: reminds me that old phrase people in glass houses shouldn't
32:18
Speaker 1: throw stones, especially when I see a few of these
32:21
Speaker 1: folks condemning Trump for speaking out against their Holy Father.
32:26
Speaker 1: It really chaps my behind. How dare you you are
32:28
Speaker 1: the hypocrites? And let me make clear I'm not attacking
32:31
Speaker 1: all Catholics at all. Matter of fact, I'm sure that
32:35
Speaker 1: many Catholics around the globe know exactly what went down
32:39
Speaker 1: in their church years ago. And I also believe that
32:42
Speaker 1: they don't put their faith in a few millionaires who
32:46
Speaker 1: are talking trash on social media. To me, it's very simple.
32:51
Speaker 1: God is our creator. He wants you to believe in him.
32:54
Speaker 1: He wants you to have faith in him. He knew
32:56
Speaker 1: we were sinners. That's why he sent Jesus Christ to
32:58
Speaker 1: die on the cross for our ends. And if we
33:01
Speaker 1: believe and we have faith and we have a relationship
33:04
Speaker 1: with Him, that's all you need. You don't need a
33:07
Speaker 1: multi billion dollar church and people in robes or hats
33:10
Speaker 1: walking around in their cities with walls and guards and
33:13
Speaker 1: banks and popemobiles to tell you that you have to
33:17
Speaker 1: work through them to have a relationship with God above.
33:21
Speaker 1: You just need to believe and have faith like I do.
33:25
Speaker 1: And I only put my faith in God. I put
33:28
Speaker 1: no man above him, and you shouldn't either. With that said,
33:32
Speaker 1: I also trust in my president. Big difference. Do I
33:36
Speaker 1: agree with every single single thing he says in posts?
33:39
Speaker 1: Of course not. But I'm not going to sit around
33:42
Speaker 1: worrying about his personality traits that I might not agree with,
33:45
Speaker 1: when the policy the man is instituting is not only
33:48
Speaker 1: good for this Republic, but it's good for the world.
33:52
Speaker 1: And so while I put my faith in God and
33:55
Speaker 1: his good word, I do still trust in Trump. There's
33:58
Speaker 1: a difference. I'm not in a cult like some people
34:01
Speaker 1: think Mega is. But I will say this to those
34:04
Speaker 1: who are jumping on the bandwagon of a few of
34:07
Speaker 1: these millionaire, ego driven influencers. Be careful, be careful who
34:11
Speaker 1: you follow, be careful who you believe in. Be careful
34:14
Speaker 1: you put your trust in faith in because God is
34:17
Speaker 1: always watching my friends. Alrighty, I know that was a
34:21
Speaker 1: lot so joining us now with reaction to everything I
34:23
Speaker 1: just threw at you. He's the National director of Priests
34:26
Speaker 1: for Life and the co chair of Pro Life Voices
34:29
Speaker 1: for Trump. Our good friend, father Frank Pavone back on
34:32
Speaker 1: the program. Father, I'm sorry that wasn't a wonderful report
34:36
Speaker 1: on the Catholic Church. But as I said in my
34:39
Speaker 1: build up to you, I feel like a lot of
34:42
Speaker 1: churches out there and religions are kind of part of
34:45
Speaker 1: the problem. Right. How many wars have we fought over religion.
34:49
Speaker 1: How much divide in this nation and across the globe
34:52
Speaker 1: has been caused because of religions. If people just believed
34:57
Speaker 1: in God and Jesus Christ and the Word and we
35:00
Speaker 1: didn't let this other mankind stuff get in the way,
35:03
Speaker 1: I think this planet would be a lot better off.
35:05
Speaker 1: But I digress. Father, nice to see you again. How
35:08
Speaker 1: you been good to be with you? Dan?
35:10
Speaker 2: You know.
35:10
Speaker 11: Yeah, And we've got to deal with these questions and
35:12
Speaker 11: these problems. Look what human beings have a great way
35:15
Speaker 11: of messing up good things that God gives us. God
35:19
Speaker 11: spoke to us in Jesus Christ. We have his Word,
35:22
Speaker 11: we have his Gospels, and human beings, you know, we
35:26
Speaker 11: end up using things to our own advantage, including the
35:29
Speaker 11: most holy things. And this is what we're seeing on
35:32
Speaker 11: display here, and we've got to read constantly.
35:36
Speaker 1: I look at it this way. You know.
35:38
Speaker 11: You let these these sad and tragic events that have happened,
35:41
Speaker 11: or these personalities who go off the rails, and let
35:45
Speaker 11: these events help us each to examine our conscience and
35:49
Speaker 11: to ask the most fundamental question, what is my relationship
35:53
Speaker 11: with God? Like the mess said, and to let him
35:56
Speaker 11: be God over my life? And if we can let
36:00
Speaker 11: these events make us more reflective on ourselves and more
36:04
Speaker 11: ready to repent of our own sins, I think we
36:08
Speaker 11: can draw good out of evil.
36:09
Speaker 1: All right, let me get a little controversial here with you.
36:13
Speaker 1: You've been a big supporter of forty five forty seven
36:15
Speaker 1: I still say forty six. I mean you're the co
36:19
Speaker 1: chair of the Voices for Pro Life for Trump. So
36:22
Speaker 1: and you being so pro life got you a little
36:24
Speaker 1: bit of hot water with the church over the last
36:25
Speaker 1: few years. So you saw the back and forth. I
36:28
Speaker 1: put the post up. We're going to put him up again.
36:30
Speaker 1: He went after the Pope. Trump says it like it is,
36:35
Speaker 1: whether you like him or not. And again, I'm not
36:37
Speaker 1: going to sit back and condemn the man for getting
36:39
Speaker 1: to a feud with the leader of the Catholic Church.
36:43
Speaker 1: That's Trump's prerogative. But I wanted to hear Father Frank's
36:46
Speaker 1: take because you've been friendly with the president. You support
36:49
Speaker 1: the president, but I don't think you always support anything
36:51
Speaker 1: the Pope does either. No, no, no, not at all now.
36:54
Speaker 11: And the thing is this that President Trump and the
36:57
Speaker 11: Pope agree on something. If you look at the words
36:59
Speaker 11: they've exchanged back and forth, they both agree that the
37:01
Speaker 11: pope should not be a politician, and I think Dan
37:04
Speaker 11: that here's where a key distinction gets lost. The pope
37:08
Speaker 11: says he wants to proclaim the gospel. President Trump supports that.
37:12
Speaker 11: I was just yesterday at the Religious Liberty Commission meeting
37:16
Speaker 11: once again of President Trump's commission to promote religious freedom.
37:20
Speaker 11: He's all in favor of the clergy having their voice
37:23
Speaker 11: even in terms of things in the public arena. But
37:26
Speaker 11: where the church leaders often fail, and I think there
37:29
Speaker 11: was a failure in this case in terms of the
37:32
Speaker 11: way pop Leo addressed this is that when you're articulating
37:37
Speaker 11: Catholic teaching, you make sure you make it clear that's
37:39
Speaker 11: what Catholic teaching is. And then when you want to
37:43
Speaker 11: make your opinion known about how that teaching is being
37:46
Speaker 11: applied or how the moral principle is working out in practice,
37:50
Speaker 11: well then let it be known that that's your opinion.
37:53
Speaker 5: Not that that's Catholic teaching.
37:54
Speaker 11: So let's get be very specific. For example, when it
37:57
Speaker 11: comes to waging war, okay, body wants to target the innocent,
38:01
Speaker 11: it would be it would be offensive for people to
38:03
Speaker 11: imply that the Trump administration is targeting the innocent. So
38:06
Speaker 11: when the Pope says you can't wage war if you
38:09
Speaker 11: mean targeting the innocent, of course we agree that one
38:11
Speaker 11: of the only ones who do that are these Islamic
38:14
Speaker 11: terrorists and killing innocent people while they are invoking their God. Okay,
38:18
Speaker 11: but then sometimes the use of force is legitimate to
38:22
Speaker 11: defend the innocent. Now, if you mean wage war with that, well,
38:26
Speaker 11: then you've got to be more specific.
38:28
Speaker 1: Teach, because aren't we allowed to pick up the righteous
38:30
Speaker 1: sword of justice and strike down the evildoers? Okay? Right,
38:33
Speaker 1: so you said, yep, go ahead.
38:35
Speaker 11: So as you elect people to make those judgments, those
38:38
Speaker 11: are prudential judgments. We elected President Trump to make those judgments.
38:41
Speaker 11: We've got to give them the space and the trust
38:44
Speaker 11: to do exactly that. Now, Leo, if you think he
38:47
Speaker 11: made the wrong judgment there, well then make it known
38:49
Speaker 11: that that's your opinion. Catholics don't have to agree with that.
38:52
Speaker 1: There you go, thank you. You don always have to
38:54
Speaker 1: agree with your preacher, your pastor your priest your church. Right. Okay,
38:59
Speaker 1: that's right. Let's bring up a couple tweets because you
39:02
Speaker 1: brought up Muslims, and you know that's my big worry
39:04
Speaker 1: for this nation. Right, if Islam was a cancer, Europe
39:08
Speaker 1: is in stage four. They're overrun. They're in trouble America.
39:12
Speaker 1: This is somebody told me today, we're in like stage
39:14
Speaker 1: one or two. If we don't stamp this out, we're
39:16
Speaker 1: in trouble. Well, you've got multimillionaire podcasters out there like
39:20
Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson and this newly founded Catholic in her faith,
39:23
Speaker 1: Carrie Prejean, who just became Catholic in the last like
39:26
Speaker 1: two years, saying things like Iran defends Catholics more than
39:30
Speaker 1: US politicians and reposts some horrific Muslim leader of Iran.
39:35
Speaker 1: I find that disgusting. You got Tucker saying that the
39:38
Speaker 1: people in charge don't want you to know this, but
39:41
Speaker 1: Muslims love Jesus. And it goes on. And I played
39:44
Speaker 1: a few sound bites earlier before you came on. You
39:46
Speaker 1: probably heard them. Father that really discussed me. I don't
39:49
Speaker 1: get this move by literally a handful of influencers, podcasters
39:54
Speaker 1: and former talk show hosts who are saying, to hell
39:57
Speaker 1: with the Jews, they're the evil ones, and Catholics should
40:01
Speaker 1: cozy up to Muslims. And then I see the pope
40:03
Speaker 1: doing it now. Again. I get he's a man of
40:05
Speaker 1: God and he's trying to you know, cross bridges and
40:08
Speaker 1: men fences. But this is scary times where we're literally
40:12
Speaker 1: saying bad Jews, good Islam. That scares me. Father. Why
40:18
Speaker 1: why are certain Catholics not all I am not throwing
40:21
Speaker 1: this on all the faithful. Why are a handful of
40:23
Speaker 1: Catholics saying this crap?
40:26
Speaker 11: Yeah?
40:26
Speaker 5: I don't know.
40:27
Speaker 11: There's something is going on here.
40:28
Speaker 1: There's some loyalty going.
40:30
Speaker 5: On here somewhere, you know.
40:31
Speaker 11: I think part of it, and Dan Bongino has brought
40:34
Speaker 11: this up, is a part of it is an effort
40:38
Speaker 11: to try to undermine the great successes of the Trump
40:40
Speaker 11: administration because some of these people, I think have their own,
40:44
Speaker 11: you know, horse in the game for twenty twenty eight
40:47
Speaker 11: and when they when it comes to the point that
40:49
Speaker 11: that presidential election is in high gear, they don't want
40:52
Speaker 11: to be faced with an uncontested record of success, which
40:56
Speaker 11: is exactly what we've got with the second Trump administration.
41:00
Speaker 11: And I think some of them are trying to prepare
41:03
Speaker 11: the ground right now to upset people on our side,
41:06
Speaker 11: to make people think that, oh, you know, Bresident Trump
41:09
Speaker 11: and his adminstration don't know what they're doing. You know
41:11
Speaker 11: they're being led around by the nose by somebody else,
41:14
Speaker 11: and oh, we know better, and you know, and so
41:17
Speaker 11: when the time comes to throw their support behind somebody
41:19
Speaker 11: other than a MAGA candidate, you know they'll be able
41:22
Speaker 11: to have prepared the groundwork. I think that's one of
41:25
Speaker 11: the few explanations I've heard.
41:27
Speaker 1: Well, I like what you said at the beginning, that
41:30
Speaker 1: they're allegiant to something else. And I call it this money,
41:34
Speaker 1: and I wonder where that money's coming from, and I'll
41:36
Speaker 1: leave it there somewhere. Yeah. Final question to you, really
41:39
Speaker 1: easy one. Yeah. Do you think the president should apologize
41:43
Speaker 1: for the post about the pope and the image of
41:46
Speaker 1: him looking down on the person in the hospital bed
41:49
Speaker 1: where it looks like he's acting like Jesus? That's what
41:53
Speaker 1: some say. Again, I already talked about what the man said.
41:56
Speaker 1: I'm not going to try and get inside of his brain,
41:58
Speaker 1: but I'd like to hear your take on the man
41:59
Speaker 1: you support and those two issues.
42:02
Speaker 2: Yeah.
42:03
Speaker 11: No, I don't think he needs to apologize for anything.
42:05
Speaker 11: I think the country and the world owe an apology
42:07
Speaker 11: to him. There has been nobody that has done more
42:11
Speaker 11: good for the country and for the world. This man
42:13
Speaker 11: is is you know, Dan, he's one sort step short
42:17
Speaker 11: of a miracle worker. The things he has accomplished that
42:20
Speaker 11: other presidents only wished they could accomplish.
42:23
Speaker 1: Thank you. It's amazing. I know.
42:26
Speaker 11: People owe an apology to President Trump first and foremost
42:29
Speaker 11: for not paying attention to him. Now, I say to
42:31
Speaker 11: people who criticize him, how many of his speeches have
42:34
Speaker 11: you listened to? How many of his rallies have you
42:36
Speaker 11: have you tuned into? They can still do it if
42:39
Speaker 11: they want to redeem themselves. It's all out there. And
42:41
Speaker 11: people who say, oh my gosh, you know what he
42:43
Speaker 11: did for what I ran, I didn't vote for this, Well,
42:45
Speaker 11: then you weren't paying attention because he did what he
42:47
Speaker 11: did with Iran just now. He was talking about decades
42:51
Speaker 11: before he began in eighties.
42:52
Speaker 1: I know. Yes, Thank you, Father, God, bless you, Thank you.
42:57
Speaker 1: You see, an old and old Mennit turned non to
42:59
Speaker 1: on national can get along with a Catholic who got
43:02
Speaker 1: in trouble with his church too. We can find common ground.
43:05
Speaker 1: I mean, you and I are like ninety nine point
43:07
Speaker 1: nine right there. Thank you, Father, God, God, bless you, God,
43:10
Speaker 1: bless you. Appreciate you all right, stick around coming up
43:13
Speaker 1: next to new report just out painting a pretty bleak
43:15
Speaker 1: picture when it comes to having kids. Fertility rates folks
43:19
Speaker 1: dropping in our nation at an alarming rate over the
43:22
Speaker 1: last twenty four years or so. We'll have details we
43:25
Speaker 1: come back. For all of our viewers out there asking

Speaker 1: the news and conservative talk you can't get anywhere else.
44:08
Speaker 1: Welcome back, folks. Not good news in this new report,
44:12
Speaker 1: parenthood is plunging across our country. New federal data reveals
44:17
Speaker 1: that the US fertility rate has hit yet another record low,
44:22
Speaker 1: and it's continuing on a downward slide that this report
44:25
Speaker 1: says started over twenty years ago. The National Centers for
44:29
Speaker 1: Health Statistics reports the rate dropped to about fifty three
44:32
Speaker 1: berths per one thousand women in twenty twenty five, while
44:36
Speaker 1: the total number of births fell by one percent. The
44:39
Speaker 1: real story is in who and the when. Teenage birth
44:43
Speaker 1: rates have plummeted a staggering eighty one percent since their
44:46
Speaker 1: peak in the nineties, a trend experts say signals more
44:49
Speaker 1: controlled over reproductive choices. But while the nursery is empty
44:55
Speaker 1: for many in their twenties, women in their thirties and
44:59
Speaker 1: forties are also seeing now a slight uptick in births
45:03
Speaker 1: as many delay rather than foregoing parenthood. Altogether, demographs are
45:08
Speaker 1: currently split gen z simply delaying parenthood as women did
45:13
Speaker 1: in the seventies, or are we looking at a permanent
45:16
Speaker 1: shift in the American family. It's a big question. With
45:19
Speaker 1: half of the country's thirty old women currently childless, the
45:22
Speaker 1: stakes are high, folks. A shrinking population could eventually strain
45:27
Speaker 1: the social safety nets that support our aging generations. Earlier
45:32
Speaker 1: this month, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior, alongside EPA
45:36
Speaker 1: administrator Lee Zelden, announced a major shift in how the
45:40
Speaker 1: government handles the plastic crisis. Now, why am I talking
45:44
Speaker 1: about birth rates and the plastics? Well, if you were
45:47
Speaker 1: watching last week, you'd know. But we're going to bridge
45:49
Speaker 1: that gap. Officials say it's no longer just environmental, but
45:53
Speaker 1: a direct threat to human health. The move part of
45:57
Speaker 1: the Make America Healthy Again Initiative target now chronic disease
46:02
Speaker 1: and the toxins that is in everything everywhere we look.
46:07
Speaker 1: These toxins are causing us these diseases. At the center
46:10
Speaker 1: one hundred and forty four million dollar program called STOMP,
46:13
Speaker 1: which is Systematic Targeting of microplastics. STOMP. The program will
46:18
Speaker 1: track how microplastics move through the bloodstream and then build
46:21
Speaker 1: up in your organs. The question is do the microplastics
46:25
Speaker 1: affect fertility because again you can look at social trends
46:29
Speaker 1: different generations, and you know more women want to be
46:32
Speaker 1: a boss lady first, so they're putting off having a kid.
46:35
Speaker 1: You can look at all that stuff, but the bottom
46:36
Speaker 1: line is if this started about twenty years ago, what
46:40
Speaker 1: did we bring into our lives? Everywhere about twenty years ago,
46:45
Speaker 1: from the water you drink to the furniture, plastic is everywhere.
46:50
Speaker 1: And get this, microplastics have been detected in human semen,
46:54
Speaker 1: the testicles, and the ovaries. They can enter the body
46:57
Speaker 1: through your food, water, they travel into the bloodstream and
47:02
Speaker 1: they accumulate in reproductive tissues and organs, where they may
47:08
Speaker 1: reduce or damage, spur themsells permanently. God, I hope that
47:13
Speaker 1: doesn't happened to me. My wife will kill me. In women,
47:16
Speaker 1: they could interfere with ovulation, egg development. Studies suggest they
47:20
Speaker 1: could cause hormonal disruption, inflammation, all linked to fertility issues.
47:26
Speaker 1: So there is a direct correlation between the two folks.
47:30
Speaker 1: Joining us now to discuss this latest report on fertility
47:33
Speaker 1: rates in America. He's the chief scientific officer at the
47:36
Speaker 1: Children's Health Defense and the author of the book Backs
47:39
Speaker 1: Unbacks Back on the program, Doctor Brian Hooker, professor, Nice
47:43
Speaker 1: to see you again. Am I okay at bridging this gap.
47:46
Speaker 1: You're the professional professional and you're the professor, so you
47:49
Speaker 1: know better than I. But it sounds like we should
47:53
Speaker 1: be worried and we should be trying to cut plastics
47:57
Speaker 1: out of our environment and then probably do some sort
48:01
Speaker 1: of detox to get them out of our body, especially
48:03
Speaker 1: if you're trying to have a baby.
48:06
Speaker 12: I would contend that this is a crisis. We need
48:10
Speaker 12: to look at the accumulation of microplastics. It's already going on.
48:15
Speaker 12: You know, in some of the studies they saw that
48:17
Speaker 12: in seventy five percent of the women that were tested,
48:21
Speaker 12: they found microplastic particles in their ovaries, in the interfollicular
48:26
Speaker 12: fluid of their ovaries. And these sizes of the plastics
48:30
Speaker 12: are the things that they're the correct size for the
48:33
Speaker 12: immune system to attack. So all of a sudden, you've
48:36
Speaker 12: got an immune attack the body attacking itself and attacking
48:40
Speaker 12: these microplastics in these vital reproductive organs. So you know,
48:45
Speaker 12: when you look at the birth rates declining and the
48:50
Speaker 12: amount of fertility, actual fertility declining, we see lower sperm counts,
48:55
Speaker 12: we see ovarian dysfunction, ovarian insufficiency. It makes perfect sense
49:04
Speaker 12: that the microplastics crisis would play into that.
49:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, I believe we had on a doctor about a
49:10
Speaker 1: week or so ago when Lee and Bobby Jr. Who
49:13
Speaker 1: obviously helped to start where you work over shown self defense,
49:17
Speaker 1: brought up these microplastics. And I believe the doc Eric
49:20
Speaker 1: Maputi said that an average male today, let's say he
49:24
Speaker 1: is thirty forty years old, been around plastics' whole life,
49:27
Speaker 1: could have up to a credit card size amount of
49:31
Speaker 1: plastic in our body, possibly collecting in art testicles. That's
49:37
Speaker 1: some scary news, Doc.
49:40
Speaker 12: Absolutely, when these accumulate again, you're introducing a lot of
49:48
Speaker 12: processes in the body that cause inflammation and inflame tissues
49:54
Speaker 12: do not function properly. They basically are are in a
49:58
Speaker 12: state of disarray. And we're seeing this not only with
50:03
Speaker 12: lower sperm count, but we're also seeing lower levels of ovulation,
50:09
Speaker 12: lower levels of successful fertilizations, and so you know, the
50:17
Speaker 12: crisis is also in the hands of women who you know,
50:23
Speaker 12: when you look at ovaries, all of the eggs are
50:27
Speaker 12: basically there and are developing from birth. Okay, so when
50:31
Speaker 12: you look at men producing millions and millions and millions
50:35
Speaker 12: of sperm, that's one thing. But when a woman has
50:38
Speaker 12: ovariant insufficiency or has an issue of micro plastics accumulation
50:44
Speaker 12: over the lifetime, she only has a very finite amount
50:48
Speaker 12: of eggs, right.
50:50
Speaker 1: Doc, Can we discuss the other factors that you believe
50:54
Speaker 1: are causing these numbers to decline so greatly over the
50:58
Speaker 1: last twenty years. I want to throw a few at
50:59
Speaker 1: you you agree, disagree, and then throw a few more
51:02
Speaker 1: back if you would. Obviously, the last five six years
51:05
Speaker 1: we've seen the transgender agenda hit this nation big time.
51:09
Speaker 1: That obviously has to bring rates down. When tens of
51:11
Speaker 1: thousands of women are thinking that they can go take
51:14
Speaker 1: the puberty blockers and cut things off and change their gender,
51:18
Speaker 1: that's one.
51:18
Speaker 2: Two.
51:19
Speaker 1: I feel like our society drifting away from God and
51:22
Speaker 1: religion has caused more people to be okay with murdering
51:26
Speaker 1: in the womb. I'm, of course talking about abortion. They
51:29
Speaker 1: want to call it women's health. I call it murder.
51:32
Speaker 1: That's two, and then three, I would say this liberal
51:36
Speaker 1: movement of women, you don't need a man, you don't
51:39
Speaker 1: need to be in the house, get a job, you
51:41
Speaker 1: don't need to have kids to be happy. Blah blah blah.
51:43
Speaker 1: I put those three factors in on top of the
51:45
Speaker 1: microplastics and the other crap that's in our food, air,
51:48
Speaker 1: and water, and I go, yeah, I see how we
51:50
Speaker 1: get to a dropping fertility rate and people just not
51:53
Speaker 1: wanting to have kids or even trying to have them.
51:57
Speaker 12: Well, I think there's a shift in demographic and one
52:00
Speaker 12: look at the different generations, especially with the transgender revolution.
52:07
Speaker 12: You cannot monkey with hormones without some type of consequences,
52:12
Speaker 12: And you know, puberty blockers are dangerous drugs. These should
52:17
Speaker 12: not be given to adolescents. Absolutely not. And then the
52:22
Speaker 12: other issue that you bring up, Dan is just that
52:24
Speaker 12: we're a wash in a toxic soup. This is really
52:28
Speaker 12: the generation that started with glyphasate. The first genetically modified
52:33
Speaker 12: crops in the United States for human consumption were approved
52:36
Speaker 12: in nineteen ninety six. And so I think that it's
52:40
Speaker 12: no secret and it's no surprise that we are seeing
52:44
Speaker 12: a precipitous drop in fertility for children who since birth
52:50
Speaker 12: have been exposed to things like glyphasate BT toxin that
52:55
Speaker 12: are actually being applied to or even produced in genetically modified.
52:59
Speaker 1: Props vaccines, Doc, how about that? That's my final question.
53:02
Speaker 1: Do you think those have had any issue with fertility
53:06
Speaker 1: in men and women? Because again, when I was born
53:09
Speaker 1: in the seventies, your vaxcard was this big and you
53:11
Speaker 1: got four or five shots if that. Today they're getting
53:14
Speaker 1: like seventy or eighty shots by the time they're eighteen.
53:17
Speaker 1: Final question, vaccines, are they causing infertility?
53:21
Speaker 12: I have no doubt that vaccinations are causing infertility. I've
53:25
Speaker 12: looked specifically at the HPV vaccine, a human papaloma virus
53:29
Speaker 12: vaccine that is given to teenagers, and the COVID shot,
53:33
Speaker 12: and the levels of primary and premature ovarian insufficiency that
53:40
Speaker 12: we see from these shots are astronomical. The leveled levels
53:45
Speaker 12: of stillbirths and miscarriages are at least ten times higher
53:50
Speaker 12: in the COVID shot than they were when you do
53:53
Speaker 12: comparison to the annual flu shot. So these, yes, vaccines
53:57
Speaker 12: have a huge role to play the amount of aluminum
54:00
Speaker 12: hag evants that we're being exposed to in vaccines that
54:04
Speaker 12: are not good for you. The aluminum nanoparticles end up
54:07
Speaker 12: in all parts of the body, including reproductive organs, and
54:12
Speaker 12: so absolutely vaccines and the explosion of the vaccine schedule
54:16
Speaker 12: do play a role here.
54:17
Speaker 1: Doctor Brian Hooker, chief scientific Officer at the Children's Health
54:20
Speaker 1: Defense look them up, folks. There are protocols you can
54:23
Speaker 1: take to get into your body to flush this crap out.
54:26
Speaker 1: You need to get on them now. I'm actually doing
54:28
Speaker 1: one right now to cleanse out the microplastics that I
54:31
Speaker 1: got from doctor Eric Deputi, my friend Charlene Bollinger over
54:34
Speaker 1: at the Truth About Cancer, and the folks here at
54:37
Speaker 1: Children's Health Defense, there's all sorts of things you can
54:39
Speaker 1: do to get this crap out of your body. Doc.
