- 0:11Speaker 1: Tonight, the FBI is waiting for Eric Swalwell when he
- 0:15Speaker 1: steps off an airplane in San Francisco.
- 0:18Speaker 2: They take his phone.
- 0:19Speaker 1: The next day they raid his home in Washington, federal
- 0:23Speaker 1: agents executing Warrens on the man who spent a decade
- 0:26Speaker 1: calling everyone.
- 0:27Speaker 2: Else a criminal. No one's above the law, right, Eric.
- 0:30Speaker 1: And California Democrats just voted to make it a crime
- 0:33Speaker 1: to film their fraud while one of their own staffers
- 0:36Speaker 1: hands out a stack of flyers smearing the journalists who
- 0:40Speaker 1: exposed it, and all paid for with California residence tax dollars.
- 0:44Speaker 1: More on that later, but first, if you turn on
- 0:48Speaker 1: the mainstream media, you hear a lot of stories about
- 0:51Speaker 1: the Republican Party tearing itself apart. It seems like the
- 0:55Speaker 1: biggest names in conservative media are at each other's throats.
- 1:00Speaker 1: It's been months in the making, maybe even years. The
- 1:02Speaker 1: first big rift started with Epstein. Remember that those binders
- 1:06Speaker 1: and Bindergate, and then you ro on became the issue
- 1:09Speaker 1: of the day to tear each other apart. Over first
- 1:12Speaker 1: became a parent. Last year at Amfest Americanfest Turning Points
- 1:15Speaker 1: biggest conference, the first one since we lost Charlie Kirk
- 1:19Speaker 1: Now it's spilled right out onto the stage.
- 1:22Speaker 2: Look why does that matter?
- 1:25Speaker 3: Well, because today the conservative movement is in serious danger.
- 1:29Speaker 3: It is in danger not just from a left that
- 1:31Speaker 3: all too frequently excuses everything up to and including murder.
- 1:36Speaker 3: The Conservative movement is also in danger from Charlatan's who
- 1:40Speaker 3: claimed to speak in the name of principle but actually
- 1:43Speaker 3: traffic in conspiracism and dishonesty.
- 1:46Speaker 4: But Ben Shapiro is like a cancer, and that cancer spreads.
- 1:51Speaker 5: I don't think we are friends anymore. I've been a
- 1:55Speaker 5: very good friend to Ben. Nobody knew who the heck
- 1:58Speaker 5: Ben Shapiro was when I started putting him on my
- 2:00Speaker 5: shows on the Fox News Channel, and I helped make
- 2:02Speaker 5: him a star.
- 2:03Speaker 2: And there's a lot more fighting since then.
- 2:05Speaker 1: But it's not actually as bad as the fake news
- 2:08Speaker 1: is making it seem. It's not as bad as your
- 2:11Speaker 1: for you page on social media is making it seem.
- 2:15Speaker 1: And I'll have more on that later. There's good news
- 2:17Speaker 1: to come. And while our side squabbles, the Democratic Party
- 2:22Speaker 1: has also descended into a civil war that makes.
- 2:25Speaker 2: Ours look like a disagreement in a book club.
- 2:28Speaker 1: And you'll be shocked to find out nobody is covering it,
- 2:31Speaker 1: not in the fake news shocking.
- 2:34Speaker 2: We've talked about it for months.
- 2:35Speaker 1: The Democratic Party is being taken over from the inside
- 2:40Speaker 1: by socialists, not progressives or what they used to call themselves.
- 2:44Speaker 1: These are card carrying members of the Democratic Socialists of America.
- 2:47Speaker 1: One out of every three Democrats in this country now
- 2:50Speaker 1: calls themselves socialist. In primary after primary, these socialists are
- 2:56Speaker 1: walking in and firing the establishment Democrats who have run.
- 3:00Speaker 2: That party for thirty years.
- 3:02Speaker 1: Kim Jeffries, the leader of the Democrats in the House,
- 3:06Speaker 1: he's been warned that he's next, and the Democrat establishment,
- 3:10Speaker 1: they're terrified. Now here's Congressman Josh Gottheimer, a Democrat, describing
- 3:16Speaker 1: what's happening to his own side.
- 3:18Speaker 6: Look, oh, ambiguity, out of my mouth. We do not
- 3:21Speaker 6: need a job killing socialist, and we don't need a
- 3:23Speaker 6: job killing socialist who wants to raise taxes and support
- 3:28Speaker 6: its anti Semitic rhetoric right in a city with the
- 3:31Speaker 6: highest taxes in the country and the largest Jewish population.
- 3:35Speaker 2: Are you surprised and get it? That's not how many
- 3:38Speaker 2: mainstream Democrats.
- 3:39Speaker 7: Mainstream Democrat you know, Chuck doesn't know what to do,
- 3:42Speaker 7: but you know, some of them are, like I.
- 3:44Speaker 2: Heard Axelrod, it's a big tent.
- 3:46Speaker 8: We have to welcome it.
- 3:47Speaker 7: I mean you should be able to say with it,
- 3:49Speaker 7: where the state of the Democratic Party right now, you
- 3:52Speaker 7: should be able to say, we don't need to go
- 3:54Speaker 7: further left to just where you're almost coming around on
- 3:57Speaker 7: the way.
- 3:57Speaker 6: We need, Joe, you know what what I believe we
- 3:59Speaker 6: need common sense. Democrats were willing to solve problems, make
- 4:03Speaker 6: life more affordable for people, take on higher taxes and
- 4:07Speaker 6: actually make sure that place is run and whether it's
- 4:09Speaker 6: rent or mortgages, make we do everything we can to
- 4:12Speaker 6: make life more affordable people. We do not socialists. And
- 4:14Speaker 6: let me clear, socialists democratic socialists are not Democrats or
- 4:18Speaker 6: not in the Democrat party.
- 4:19Speaker 2: You heard him.
- 4:20Speaker 1: Democratic socialists are not Democrats, and that's true. But they're winning,
- 4:24Speaker 1: and that means the Democrats aren't winning. In a separate interview,
- 4:28Speaker 1: that same congressman called the socialist takeover, in his words,
- 4:31Speaker 1: a growing cancer in that party. He said, we can't
- 4:34Speaker 1: let this spread a cancer. Now, think about where you
- 4:36Speaker 1: heard that before. Steve Bannon used that exact same word
- 4:39Speaker 1: about Ben Shapiro. You heard it both parties at the
- 4:42Speaker 1: very same moment looking at their own people and calling
- 4:45Speaker 1: them diseases.
- 4:47Speaker 2: But the difference is what it's doing to them.
- 4:51Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer, the Senate Democrat leader, has candidates he's recruited
- 4:55Speaker 1: in Michigan, in Maine, in Iowa, and Bernie Sanders is
- 4:58Speaker 1: barnstorming the country can painting against Schumer's own people. The
- 5:03Speaker 1: number two Democrat in the United States Senate can't count
- 5:06Speaker 1: on the loyalty of his of the candidates running under
- 5:10Speaker 1: his own banner and their own strategists. Well, they're pulling
- 5:15Speaker 1: the fire alarm. James Carvill, you know, James Carvill, raging cajun.
- 5:19Speaker 1: He called it a bridge too far. Some of their
- 5:22Speaker 1: prize recruits have imploded so badly they've handed us raises
- 5:26Speaker 1: the Democrats fully expected to win. Look, that is the party,
- 5:32Speaker 1: the Democrat Party, coming apart at the seams. They're literally
- 5:38Speaker 1: destroying themselves. Now, a great American used to talk about
- 5:43Speaker 1: this exact moment, Rush Limbaugh, and I don't think it's
- 5:48Speaker 1: a stretch to say we could all use his voice
- 5:51Speaker 1: right now now. Rush used to warn conservatives about what
- 5:55Speaker 1: he called the circular firing squad. This point was when
- 6:00Speaker 1: the right turns its guns inward and starts shooting at
- 6:04Speaker 1: its own. We aren't hurting the Democrats, We're doing their
- 6:07Speaker 1: work for him.
- 6:09Speaker 2: Now.
- 6:10Speaker 1: He was right, because every minute we spend at war
- 6:14Speaker 1: with each other is a minute we hand the other
- 6:17Speaker 1: side everything they need to beat us. But Rush understood
- 6:20Speaker 1: something else when the Democrats started devouring their own, when
- 6:25Speaker 1: the far left firing squad turned on Nancy Pelosi years back,
- 6:29Speaker 1: rushed in panic, and he didn't lecture them about coming together.
- 6:32Speaker 1: He said, and I'm quoting him, I hope they continue
- 6:35Speaker 1: to illustrate just how wacko, how morally bankrupt and substantively
- 6:41Speaker 1: bankrupt they are. He wanted them to keep right on fighting,
- 6:46Speaker 1: and that's the whole game. Russia's wisdom cuts both ways.
- 6:50Speaker 1: He warned us not to do the left's work for them,
- 6:54Speaker 1: and well, right now the left is doing that work
- 6:57Speaker 1: all by themselves. They're tearing down the road house brick
- 7:00Speaker 1: by brick, socialists against establishment, and they can't stop it.
- 7:04Speaker 2: We've seen a play out in the primaries.
- 7:06Speaker 1: So here is my message to every conservative watching who's
- 7:11Speaker 1: tempted to spend the next few months feuding with the
- 7:15Speaker 1: guy on the other side of the podcast with the
- 7:17Speaker 1: guy on the social media platforms or wherever. Don't interrupt
- 7:23Speaker 1: your opponent while they're busy destroying themselves. Let's let the
- 7:27Speaker 1: left door our work for us and why they burn
- 7:31Speaker 1: themselves down.
- 7:33Speaker 2: Let's do the one thing that actually wins elections.
- 7:36Speaker 1: We need to stop fighting over people and we need
- 7:40Speaker 1: to start fighting for policy. I don't care if you
- 7:44Speaker 1: love Tucker, if you love Trump, I don't care who
- 7:47Speaker 1: show you subscribe to, or which influencer said.
- 7:50Speaker 2: What about the other doesn't matter.
- 7:52Speaker 1: None of that is going to get us any closer
- 7:55Speaker 1: to removing all the criminal aliens out of this country,
- 7:58Speaker 1: to continue to secure the border, out of fighting to
- 8:00Speaker 1: lower our prices and our grocery bills, none of that
- 8:04Speaker 1: is going to increase jobs back home. Personalities are a distraction.
- 8:10Speaker 1: Policy is the product. The Republican Party has a chance
- 8:13Speaker 1: right now, a real one, to be the party of
- 8:16Speaker 1: secure borders, cheap energy, safe streets, and a government that
- 8:20Speaker 1: finally leaves you alone. And that's a winning hand and
- 8:24Speaker 1: we're holding it. But if we stop, if we stop
- 8:28Speaker 1: setting our own cards on fire, we can have it all.
- 8:32Speaker 2: Now. I told you.
- 8:32Speaker 1: There was some good news that group the one that's
- 8:35Speaker 1: so vocal about it's disappointment with Trump. The ones who
- 8:39Speaker 1: call themselves America First or whatever they're calling themselves this week,
- 8:44Speaker 1: here's the good news. While the Democrats are literally destroying
- 8:50Speaker 1: themselves and the socialists are winning our I don't know,
- 8:54Speaker 1: call them separatists, they're not apparently even.
- 8:58Speaker 2: Registering with actual voters.
- 8:59Speaker 1: When you get off of social media and you go
- 9:01Speaker 1: into the real world, nobody actually cares about what these
- 9:04Speaker 1: people are saying. There really is, really is no big
- 9:08Speaker 1: disagreement in the Republican Party.
- 9:10Speaker 2: MAGA continues to win.
- 9:12Speaker 1: And look at just look what just happened in Florida.
- 9:15Speaker 1: James Fishback. He ran an entire online campaign positioning himself
- 9:19Speaker 1: as the alternative to Byron Donalds. He threw himself a
- 9:22Speaker 1: victory party. He got ten and a half percent. That's right,
- 9:27Speaker 1: ten and a half percent Donalds Donalds, the man Trump endorsed.
- 9:32Speaker 1: He won almost fifty percent. A fringe online influencer named
- 9:37Speaker 1: Dan Bilzerian he tried the same thing against Congressman Randy Fine,
- 9:42Speaker 1: and Fine beat him by almost forty points. Blaserian's response, well,
- 9:47Speaker 1: he went on x and claimed with zero evidence, by
- 9:49Speaker 1: the way, that they took away his votes. There's not
- 9:53Speaker 1: enough of his votes to even take away. These are
- 9:57Speaker 1: the big anti Trump insurgency you're here about. That's the
- 10:01Speaker 1: whole revolution. It's about ten percent and a conspiracy theory.
- 10:06Speaker 2: Now hold that.
- 10:07Speaker 1: Up against the other side. Like I said, the socialists
- 10:10Speaker 1: on the left are winning. The people that are opposed
- 10:13Speaker 1: to Trump on our side are not the Trump endorse candidates.
- 10:18Speaker 1: They go undefeated. The MAGA conservatives are winning. The disaffected
- 10:23Speaker 1: blow it all up crowd at best are getting a
- 10:26Speaker 1: participation trophy and as bigger than one primary night. Republican
- 10:29Speaker 1: majorities are growing across the country. After ten states redrew
- 10:33Speaker 1: their congressional maps, Republicans are positioned to gain as many
- 10:36Speaker 1: as sixteen seats this fall here in Florida as many
- 10:40Speaker 1: as four because we finally corrected the maps that haven't
- 10:43Speaker 1: reflected the political reality of these states in years. More
- 10:46Speaker 1: people than ever are paying attention to election integrity and
- 10:50Speaker 1: our policies, the ones we had to drag past the
- 10:54Speaker 1: establishment to get to the President's desk, they are becoming law.
- 10:58Speaker 1: And that's the difference. On the left, the inmates are
- 11:01Speaker 1: taking over the asylum. On the right, we're still fighting
- 11:04Speaker 1: the establishment, and we are winning, and we're turning our
- 11:07Speaker 1: ideas into law.
- 11:07Speaker 2: Two parties, two civil wars.
- 11:10Speaker 1: One of them is fighting over what it believes in America,
- 11:13Speaker 1: the border, energy, war, and peace, and it can still
- 11:17Speaker 1: choose to unite around the things that we all have
- 11:19Speaker 1: in common. The other side, well, they're fighting whether they
- 11:23Speaker 1: believe this country deserves to exist at all. Let them
- 11:27Speaker 1: have that fight, let them choke on it, and let
- 11:29Speaker 1: us enjoy the spoils of their war. The ones who
- 11:33Speaker 1: put policy over personality and country over ego.
- 11:37Speaker 2: That is how we win in.
- 11:39Speaker 1: November, and that's how we save America, not by shooting
- 11:42Speaker 1: at each other, by letting them shoot first.
- 11:47Speaker 2: Still ahead.
- 11:48Speaker 1: California passes a law to criminalize journalists exposing its fraud.
- 11:53Speaker 1: And wait until you see how one Democrat Stafford decided
- 11:57Speaker 1: to fight back.
- 11:58Speaker 2: It's ridiculous. You're not gonna want to miss that.
- 12:00Speaker 1: The FBI sees is Eric Swalllwell's phone and raids his
- 12:02Speaker 1: home in a federal criminal investigation years in the making.
- 12:06Speaker 1: And Donald Trump declares economic war on Iran, the most
- 12:09Speaker 1: crushing operation, he says, ever aimed at another country. Say
- 12:12Speaker 1: with me, all that's coming up tonight.

- 12:56Speaker 1: Yesterday, California Democrats passed a bill that makes it a
- 13:00Speaker 1: crime to expose their fraud.
- 13:03Speaker 2: Not to commit fraud, but to film it.
- 13:06Speaker 1: Point a camera at a taxpayer funded operation you believe
- 13:09Speaker 1: is robbing the state post what you find, and under
- 13:13Speaker 1: this bill you're looking at a minimum of four thousand
- 13:15Speaker 1: dollars of a fine and a lawsuit and maybe even
- 13:18Speaker 1: up to a year in county jail. They're not even
- 13:21Speaker 1: being coy about who it's aimed at. Everybody in that
- 13:25Speaker 1: building calls it the stop Nick Shirley Act.
- 13:28Speaker 2: Seriously, that's the name.
- 13:29Speaker 1: A Republican gave it, and it stuck because it fits
- 13:32Speaker 1: Nick Shirley. He's the young independent journalist who has spent
- 13:35Speaker 1: this year walking into taxpayer funded operations across this country
- 13:39Speaker 1: with a camera and finding fraud, real fraud. In Minnesota,
- 13:42Speaker 1: he showed up at a daycare with a misspelled sign
- 13:45Speaker 1: out front the leering center. Remember that the operators have
- 13:49Speaker 1: since been federally charged for stealing taxpayer money and the
- 13:52Speaker 1: place was shut down. He testified before Congress about it,
- 13:56Speaker 1: and then he brought that same camera to California. That
- 13:59Speaker 1: is when said Sacremento decided that the problem wasn't the
- 14:02Speaker 1: fraud he was finding.
- 14:03Speaker 2: The problem was him. So look at who wrote the
- 14:07Speaker 2: law to stop him.
- 14:08Speaker 1: The author is Democrat assembly Woman Mia Bonta. That name
- 14:12Speaker 1: sounds familiar. Mia Banta happens to be married to Rob Bonta,
- 14:17Speaker 1: the Attorney General of California, state's top prosecutor. The man
- 14:21Speaker 1: whose entire job is to go after fraud is married
- 14:24Speaker 1: to the woman writing the bill that makes it harder
- 14:26Speaker 1: to expose it. She says, the criticism is all maga misinformation.
- 14:32Speaker 1: I'll let you decide how misinformed it is that the
- 14:36Speaker 1: AG's wife wrote a bill shielding the exact operations her
- 14:39Speaker 1: husband is supposed to be policing, but whatever, And here's
- 14:43Speaker 1: what those operations look like. One of Shirley's recent targets
- 14:47Speaker 1: is a Los Angeles nonprofit that has pulled in an
- 14:50Speaker 1: over eighty million dollars in taxpayer money, money that he says,
- 14:54Speaker 1: when to partially fund the anti Ice Street protest. You've
- 14:58Speaker 1: watched on TV that same nonprofit as a co sponsor
- 15:01Speaker 1: of the bill. What the people funded by the fraud
- 15:06Speaker 1: helped write the legislation to allow it to continue. Now,
- 15:09Speaker 1: if your position were strong, you'd welcome the scrutiny, right,
- 15:13Speaker 1: you'd say.
- 15:14Speaker 2: Come on in, look at the books in the hyder,
- 15:17Speaker 2: help us fix it. Right.
- 15:18Speaker 1: But that's not what California Democrats did know, and Shirley
- 15:21Speaker 1: exposed them.
- 15:22Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom's own office mocked.
- 15:24Speaker 1: Him online, and this week it got even smaller than that.
- 15:27Speaker 1: While the legislature was busy passing law into silence, Nick Shirley,
- 15:33Speaker 1: a senior Democratic staffer, decided to fight him in the street.
- 15:36Speaker 1: Terry Shans, the chief of staff to Democratic assembly Member
- 15:40Speaker 1: Tina mckinner.
- 15:41Speaker 2: She printed it up.
- 15:42Speaker 1: He printed up flyers and handed them out in Sacramento. Now,
- 15:45Speaker 1: the flyers read and I apologize, but this is what
- 15:48Speaker 1: they wrote. Allegedly, Nick Shirley has a.
- 15:51Speaker 2: Small penis proved me wrong?
- 15:53Speaker 1: That is what they put on the flyer and hand
- 15:55Speaker 1: it out, And according to reporting from k is Ashley Zavala,
- 16:02Speaker 1: he used taxpayer funded resources to print them. Your tax
- 16:07Speaker 1: dollars to make flyers about journalist's genitals.
- 16:11Speaker 2: Look are you here to dispel any rumor? I mean,
- 16:14Speaker 2: the people are saying that people have a lot of words.
- 16:17Speaker 2: I want to show you. I didn't ask you to
- 16:19Speaker 2: show me.
- 16:20Speaker 4: I didn't ask you to show me.
- 16:21Speaker 2: Just fine to see years, you have to literally look
- 16:23Speaker 2: about flabb of fact.
- 16:24Speaker 6: I don't know what you're talking about.
- 16:25Speaker 2: Nick, Literally you literally had to go like this attack
- 16:27Speaker 2: your ch Well.
- 16:28Speaker 1: I appreciate it's too bad that you're sure doesn't have
- 16:30Speaker 1: a union bug on it, but I guess that's part
- 16:32Speaker 1: of your brand does does not have the union bug?
- 16:35Speaker 2: Also imply like small energy?
- 16:37Speaker 4: Is that?
- 16:38Speaker 2: Is there a lot of small energy happening? I don't,
- 16:40Speaker 2: I don't even know what to say.
- 16:43Speaker 1: That is the chief of staff to a California lawmaker,
- 16:46Speaker 1: and that's what they're spending your money on. That's the
- 16:49Speaker 1: way these people think that's that is how they're fighting fraud.
- 16:54Speaker 2: Good lord.
- 16:55Speaker 1: My next guest has been following this fight closely and
- 16:59Speaker 1: picking up a lot of other fights here were the
- 17:01Speaker 1: reaction is US Representative of California's first congressional District, James Gallagher.
- 17:05Speaker 1: Thank you so much for being here, my friend. I
- 17:08Speaker 1: don't even know if I have words anymore. California have
- 17:11Speaker 1: some of the worst fraud allegedly in the country, and
- 17:14Speaker 1: instead of doing anything about it, they're talking about you know,
- 17:16Speaker 1: Nick Shirley's whatever does it get more ridiculous in this congressman?
- 17:21Speaker 8: You know, it's it smells a lot like fear, you know,
- 17:25Speaker 8: I mean, these we're onto their game, you know, we're
- 17:27Speaker 8: onto their game. And guys like Nick Shirley had done
- 17:30Speaker 8: an amazing job of exposing the fraud nationwide, but especially
- 17:34Speaker 8: here in California. And as and as that starts to happen,
- 17:37Speaker 8: one of these guys, do I mean they you know,
- 17:39Speaker 8: they pass laws to try and criminalize, you know, the
- 17:42Speaker 8: very action you know, Uh, you know that we're trying
- 17:45Speaker 8: to uncover, right, I mean, and and this is investigative journalism, uh,
- 17:49Speaker 8: you know, at its at its finest, right, Like he
- 17:52Speaker 8: went into their into their centers. He exposed that these
- 17:55Speaker 8: are not they're fake. How about the hospice the fake
- 17:57Speaker 8: hospice facilities that we're in this roach motel in La.
- 18:02Speaker 8: None of them are real, none of them are legit.
- 18:04Speaker 8: But they're sucking up your tax dollars. And it makes
- 18:07Speaker 8: these guys scared. And so what do they do. They
- 18:09Speaker 8: do these kind of ridiculous things. They pass this legislation. Uh,
- 18:12Speaker 8: you know that's completely unconstitutional.
- 18:15Speaker 5: Uh.
- 18:15Speaker 8: And then you know, you have you know, this guy
- 18:17Speaker 8: you know, show up and start you know, uh hazing
- 18:22Speaker 8: you know, Nick. Surely instead of addressing the fact of
- 18:24Speaker 8: the issue, like why are you wasting our taxpayer dollars?
- 18:27Speaker 8: You know, why are you wasting this money that we need? Uh,
- 18:31Speaker 8: you know, they don't want to address that issue. And
- 18:33Speaker 8: then we have voter ID. Now we're starting to get
- 18:34Speaker 8: onto them about voter ID, the prospect of voter ID
- 18:37Speaker 8: coming there. They are terrified of that fact because they've
- 18:40Speaker 8: been able to use NGOs and nonprofits and funnel the
- 18:43Speaker 8: money through and they've been able to have no real
- 18:46Speaker 8: accountability when it comes to voter integrity, and they thrive
- 18:50Speaker 8: off of that. But we're you know, they're under attack
- 18:52Speaker 8: and it's being exposed and things are about to change,
- 18:55Speaker 8: and that's why you're seeing this kind of response.
- 18:57Speaker 1: Yeah, and Nick Shirley might need to investigate fraud under
- 19:00Speaker 1: that guy's fat role, but maybe that's for the next
- 19:03Speaker 1: viral video.
- 19:05Speaker 2: But now, look, and everything you mentioned is true.
- 19:09Speaker 1: You have all the issues with the fraud, you have
- 19:12Speaker 1: the issues with the elections, you have the issue with
- 19:14Speaker 1: voter ID and there's a lot of good people in
- 19:16Speaker 1: California who really want to see something change.
- 19:19Speaker 2: But yet every time they show.
- 19:20Speaker 1: Up to vote, we got a month long of voting,
- 19:23Speaker 1: mail and ballot show up a network of a potential
- 19:26Speaker 1: fraud that's impossible to prove or investigate. Now, one of
- 19:30Speaker 1: the reasons this is possible is because there's no representation
- 19:32Speaker 1: in the state and you're trying to.
- 19:33Speaker 2: Do something about that. You're proposing legislation.
- 19:35Speaker 1: To actually fight the redistrict or fight the lines as
- 19:38Speaker 1: they're drawn now in redistrict for actual fair representation, so
- 19:42Speaker 1: voters actually have a say in this state.
- 19:43Speaker 9: Right.
- 19:45Speaker 8: Yeah, I think what you're seeing, man, is a lot
- 19:46Speaker 8: more leaders here in California who are going on the
- 19:48Speaker 8: offensive right and saying no, we're not going to accept
- 19:51Speaker 8: the status quo as it is. We're going to fight
- 19:53Speaker 8: back against it. We're going to expose it. We're going
- 19:56Speaker 8: to get changed, you know. And I think you've seen
- 19:57Speaker 8: that obviously on the fraud side of things. You've seen it.
- 20:00Speaker 8: Voter ID that's going to be on the ballot here
- 20:03Speaker 8: in California. It's pulling really well. We think we can
- 20:05Speaker 8: actually win that vote, and that would change a lot
- 20:08Speaker 8: of things. But I've introduced this bill called the Representation
- 20:11Speaker 8: Act to like change redistricting going forward, to make.
- 20:14Speaker 2: Sure it's fair.
- 20:15Speaker 8: And I mean, you saw this in the Northeast, you know,
- 20:17Speaker 8: Massachusetts and Connecticut. You know, they drew the lines, you know,
- 20:21Speaker 8: these the Democrats drew the line so that no Republicans
- 20:25Speaker 8: you know, were represented in Congress. Imagine that even though
- 20:27Speaker 8: like forty percent of the electorate there, you know, as
- 20:30Speaker 8: Republican voters.
- 20:32Speaker 9: Uh.
- 20:32Speaker 8: And then out here in California, we just had the
- 20:34Speaker 8: redistricting you know that Gavin Newsom I called the Gavin
- 20:37Speaker 8: Mander you know, went through. And what they're trying to
- 20:40Speaker 8: do is eliminate, you know, our ability to elect people.
- 20:43Speaker 8: You know, I'm in the North State. We're a very
- 20:44Speaker 8: Republican red area, but they've split it up into three
- 20:48Speaker 8: different districts, all to try and make sure that you know,
- 20:52Speaker 8: I can't get elected or another Republican who truly represents
- 20:56Speaker 8: that area, right, And so we're fighting back by, you know,
- 21:00Speaker 8: making sure in this legislation doesn't matter who draws the lines,
- 21:03Speaker 8: they can't break up communities of interest and thereby undermine
- 21:07Speaker 8: democracy as they've done in so many other places.
- 21:11Speaker 1: Ro'bsident and Gagher, keep up the fight. Hopefully you're successful
- 21:14Speaker 1: to the people. There's a lot of Republicans in California whose
- 21:16Speaker 1: voices have been silenced by the corruption here for so long,
- 21:19Speaker 1: and I appreciate you taking that fight up to hopefully
- 21:22Speaker 1: give people the voices back.
- 21:23Speaker 2: And really make this state as great as it deserves
- 21:26Speaker 2: to be.
- 21:27Speaker 1: Just get the idiots running it out of power and
- 21:29Speaker 1: then this state will be awesome.
- 21:30Speaker 2: So thank you so much for your work with Ben.

- 23:33Speaker 1: Staying in the state of California, where Democrats love saying
- 23:37Speaker 1: that no one is above the law, especially when aiming
- 23:41Speaker 1: at at Donald Trump, the president's family, and anyone who
- 23:44Speaker 1: ever crossed him.
- 23:45Speaker 2: And now no one is above the law.
- 23:48Speaker 1: And it's true because this weekend, the FBI took the
- 23:53Speaker 1: former Congressman Eric Swallwell at his word when he says it.
- 23:57Speaker 1: On Saturday, federal agents we're waiting for him, And when
- 24:00Speaker 1: he stepped off a plane at San Francisco International Airport,
- 24:03Speaker 1: they served him with a search warrant. They seized his
- 24:06Speaker 1: phone and his electronic devices right there. Very next day,
- 24:11Speaker 1: they showed up at his home in Washington, DC with
- 24:13Speaker 1: more quarter proof warrants and they carried out more things
- 24:18Speaker 1: right out of his door. The seizure is part of
- 24:20Speaker 1: an ongoing federal criminal investigation to allegations of sexual assault
- 24:25Speaker 1: against Swalwell, same allegations for multiple women that already ended
- 24:29Speaker 1: his career down. The wake of those allegations, the Manhattan
- 24:33Speaker 1: District Attorney opened a criminal investigation, so did the Los
- 24:36Speaker 1: Angeles Sheriff, and the Justice Department opened a criminal providence
- 24:39Speaker 1: of its own. Two of the women who have spoken
- 24:43Speaker 1: out publicly saying they've now met with the FBI. One
- 24:46Speaker 1: of them, a former staffer, alleged to Swalwell sexually assaulted
- 24:49Speaker 1: her in twenty twenty four. Swawell, of course denies it all,
- 24:53Speaker 1: and his attorney says the accusations are politically motivated and
- 24:58Speaker 1: this isn't the.
- 24:58Speaker 2: Only Swalwell's story making headlines this week.
- 25:02Speaker 1: Earlier this week, on Monday, the White House released the
- 25:04Speaker 1: classified FBI files about Swalwell's years old relationship with a
- 25:09Speaker 1: suspected Chinese intelligence operative known.
- 25:11Speaker 2: As Fang Fang.
- 25:14Speaker 1: In those files, Swalwell admitted to the FBI that he
- 25:17Speaker 1: had a physical relationship with her. Together, they paint a
- 25:20Speaker 1: portrait of a man who spent years accusing everyone around
- 25:23Speaker 1: him of being compromised Well carrying an awful lot of
- 25:27Speaker 1: his own baggage through airport security until you know agents
- 25:31Speaker 1: went through and seized his devices and his defense tonight.
- 25:36Speaker 2: He's being persecuted.
- 25:37Speaker 1: His attorney, Sarah Azari, says, this is the Trump administration
- 25:40Speaker 1: weaponizing federal law enforcement against a political critic.
- 25:44Speaker 2: That ridiculous.
- 25:45Speaker 1: They're saying that they're investigating him because he's a critic,
- 25:50Speaker 1: but he's.
- 25:50Speaker 2: No longer in Congress, so it doesn't matter.
- 25:52Speaker 1: He's being investigated because he did bad things. That's the
- 25:57Speaker 1: point here. And a federal judge, by the way, signed
- 25:59Speaker 1: those warrants. Judges don't sign search warrants for a former
- 26:03Speaker 1: congressman because the president's feelings are hurt. They signed them
- 26:06Speaker 1: with agents so probable cause of a crime. And for years,
- 26:10Speaker 1: Eric Swallwell was the loudest man in America demanding that
- 26:12Speaker 1: his enemies be investigated.
- 26:14Speaker 2: He said sexual assault victims.
- 26:16Speaker 1: Should be protected, and it's true, and he finally got
- 26:20Speaker 1: the federal investigation he always wanted. It's just unfortunate for
- 26:23Speaker 1: him that his name is on the warrant. Here with reaction,
- 26:27Speaker 1: a spokesperson for the National Police Association, Sergeant Betsy Brentner Smith,
- 26:32Speaker 1: Thank you so much for being here, sergeant. I mean,
- 26:36Speaker 1: I love when justice comes back to bite the person
- 26:40Speaker 1: who claims that he stands for justice.
- 26:43Speaker 2: And I don't wonder what they're going to find on
- 26:46Speaker 2: these phones.
- 26:46Speaker 1: So when you start seizing devices, that means there's something
- 26:49Speaker 1: serious going on, right.
- 26:51Speaker 10: Well, absolutely, Remember some of his alleged victims have said
- 26:56Speaker 10: that he sent wildly inappropriate photos and text messages and
- 27:01Speaker 10: things like that, So undoubtedly that is what is being
- 27:06Speaker 10: looked for in those devices. And you know, of course
- 27:10Speaker 10: he's denying it. But you know, you can go back
- 27:13Speaker 10: and watch videotape of this man talk about sexual assault
- 27:16Speaker 10: victims and saying how they deserve justice and this and that,
- 27:20Speaker 10: and that is what we all need to think about
- 27:23Speaker 10: when we look at this case. Is there are victims
- 27:26Speaker 10: in this case, young idealistic women who trusted this man
- 27:31Speaker 10: who are now bravely coming forward. Even though of course
- 27:36Speaker 10: this is going to garner a lot of attention, it's
- 27:38Speaker 10: going to you know, this is not a political issue.
- 27:42Speaker 10: We need to think about the victims and we need
- 27:45Speaker 10: to set a precedent for men who might think about
- 27:49Speaker 10: doing this moving forward.
- 27:51Speaker 1: Yeah, And the thing is and I don't like to
- 27:55Speaker 1: make light of things where there's victims like you mentioned
- 27:58Speaker 1: in whatever Democrat, Republican, anybody who who sexually assaults women.
- 28:03Speaker 1: I don't care what their political affiliation is or how
- 28:05Speaker 1: they vote, they should face the full extent of the law.
- 28:08Speaker 1: I mean, no, no mercy for these guys. But what's
- 28:12Speaker 1: so interesting and ironic here is that this was a
- 28:15Speaker 1: congressman who, like you said, when all over television talking
- 28:19Speaker 1: about nobody's above the law with the Kavanaugh hearings, talking
- 28:21Speaker 1: about all victims should be believed and we need time
- 28:24Speaker 1: to investigate, and no sexual assault victims should be treated poorly.
- 28:29Speaker 2: While in his private life we know exactly what he
- 28:31Speaker 2: was up to.
- 28:31Speaker 1: He sat on the set in an intelligence committee, and
- 28:34Speaker 1: he was in a relationship with a spy.
- 28:37Speaker 2: I mean, these are the absolute worst of worse.
- 28:40Speaker 1: He lost his job because of it, and when you
- 28:43Speaker 1: look back at what he was saying on television, you
- 28:45Speaker 1: look what he was doing in his personal.
- 28:46Speaker 2: Life, it really makes it.
- 28:48Speaker 1: It's just such so gross, and this is why people
- 28:50Speaker 1: hate Washington so much right now.
- 28:52Speaker 10: And you're absolutely right, that's such a great way to
- 28:54Speaker 10: put it. It really is gross. These are you know,
- 28:57Speaker 10: he's an elected or wasn't elected congressman, and you know,
- 29:00Speaker 10: in charge of those laws and protect you know, it's
- 29:03Speaker 10: supposed to be protecting young women and sexual assault victims
- 29:07Speaker 10: and things like that.
- 29:08Speaker 2: And yet what does he do.
- 29:09Speaker 10: You know, he's being accused of actually involved, being involved
- 29:14Speaker 10: in some of those incredibly dastardly deeds, and it seems
- 29:18Speaker 10: as though he got pretty cocky about it. So this
- 29:21Speaker 10: is going to be a complicated case. You've got multiple jurisdictions,
- 29:25Speaker 10: you've got local, county and federal, and hopefully these victims
- 29:31Speaker 10: are able to get some justice.
- 29:33Speaker 1: Now, let's talk about his claims that you know, this
- 29:36Speaker 1: is weaponization turned on him.
- 29:37Speaker 2: This is purely political.
- 29:39Speaker 1: That's really just when you look at what happened to
- 29:41Speaker 1: Trump when they're literally trying to find cases to throw
- 29:45Speaker 1: at him, bending the law, manufacturing causes of action, and
- 29:49Speaker 1: crimes that didn't even exist, you know, going bypassing immunity,
- 29:53Speaker 1: going after him civilly, inventing federal crimes. I mean, everything
- 29:56Speaker 1: they did to President Trump to get him, you can't
- 29:59Speaker 1: draw a pair of well to what they did to
- 30:00Speaker 1: President Trump and everyone in his orbit with the fake
- 30:03Speaker 1: Russia collusion hoax and the fake warrants and all that
- 30:05Speaker 1: stuff to what this man actually did. And for him
- 30:08Speaker 1: to sit there and claim that this is just weaponization,
- 30:11Speaker 1: that this is just you know, the Trump administration going
- 30:15Speaker 1: after his critics. I mean, that is really bold for
- 30:18Speaker 1: somebody who has with tape and text messages, like you said,
- 30:23Speaker 1: this isn't the government overreach, this is accountability. And I
- 30:26Speaker 1: can't even imagine anybody in his own party will listen
- 30:29Speaker 1: to him try to make those excuses and even be
- 30:31Speaker 1: able to defend this guy. This guy's facing serious charges
- 30:34Speaker 1: for doing serious thing and you can't really just brush
- 30:38Speaker 1: it off as weaponization.
- 30:39Speaker 2: It's so dishonest. But we're not surprised by that by
- 30:41Speaker 2: this guy right now, we're not.
- 30:43Speaker 10: And I mean the whole political persecution that ship sailed
- 30:46Speaker 10: in April. You know, Chris Wallowell's career is now over.
- 30:50Speaker 10: Now what comes is exactly what you said, accountability and
- 30:55Speaker 10: justice for those victims. That's what we need to think about.
- 30:59Speaker 10: That these young women who were victimized, and members of
- 31:03Speaker 10: Swallow's own political party poo pooh some of this stuff,
- 31:07Speaker 10: they ignored a lot of it. They knew what he was.
- 31:10Speaker 10: People have admitted this, but now they've dropped him like
- 31:13Speaker 10: a hot potato. Now law enforcement has to come in
- 31:17Speaker 10: and they have got to sweep up the pieces and
- 31:19Speaker 10: see if they can't get some justice for these victims.
- 31:23Speaker 10: This has nothing to do with politics, nor should it ever.
- 31:27Speaker 10: This has to do with justice for these young women.
- 31:32Speaker 1: Yeah, and exactly when you're in a position of power
- 31:34Speaker 1: like he is to do things like he did. I
- 31:36Speaker 1: really hope there's not enough jurisdictions that can charge him enough.
- 31:39Speaker 1: We got the federal cases, we have state cases, and look, hopefully,
- 31:43Speaker 1: like you said, it protects future victims and it sets
- 31:45Speaker 1: a message. And I don't care if you're in Congress,
- 31:47Speaker 1: I don't care where you are, what power you think
- 31:48Speaker 1: you hold if you do the things that he's accused
- 31:52Speaker 1: of doing. Now, look, he's just accused the House. The
- 31:55Speaker 1: day in court, he'll have the opportunity to prove his
- 31:57Speaker 1: innocence or guilt. But when you're accused to do the
- 32:00Speaker 1: things he's doing, it doesn't matter what position you held previously.
- 32:03Speaker 2: The law is gonna come for you.
- 32:04Speaker 1: And hopefully that sends a message to anybody else who's
- 32:07Speaker 1: anybody else who thinks they can use their positions of
- 32:09Speaker 1: power to take advantage of women. So thank you so
- 32:12Speaker 1: much for being here and give us your take on
- 32:13Speaker 1: all this.
- 32:14Speaker 10: Thanks for having me.
- 32:15Speaker 2: Of course, when we come back.
- 32:18Speaker 1: Iran gambled that Donald Trump would lose interest and let
- 32:22Speaker 1: them just wait him out. Well, yesterday he told them
- 32:25Speaker 1: exactly how wrong they were and the numbers behind his
- 32:29Speaker 1: economic war where they're staggering for Iran, and later the
- 32:33Speaker 1: President who builds while Washington obsessed over everything not important.
- 32:38Speaker 1: Trump walked out onto the South lawn and showed off
- 32:41Speaker 1: what he's been constructing at the People's House and who's
- 32:43Speaker 1: really paying for it. It's not the taxpayer. All that's
- 32:46Speaker 1: coming up later to night.
- 32:53Speaker 4: For all of our viewers out there asking where to

- 33:31Speaker 1: Yesterday, Donald Trump declared economic war on the Islamic Republic
- 33:37Speaker 1: of Iran, and he didn't use small words to do what.
- 33:40Speaker 2: He called it the most crushing economic.
- 33:42Speaker 1: Operation ever taken against any country, an economic d day,
- 33:47Speaker 1: and the message to the regime in Tehran was simple.
- 33:51Speaker 2: You had your chance.
- 33:53Speaker 1: To make a deal, you blew it, and now we're
- 33:55Speaker 1: going to take everything you have left.
- 33:57Speaker 2: Here's the president in his own words.
- 33:59Speaker 9: Well, we have things that we could sanction.
- 34:01Speaker 11: We have very draconian sanctions, and we'll see what happens.
- 34:06Speaker 4: Right now, the strait is open.
- 34:08Speaker 1: Now, here's what makes this different from just another round
- 34:10Speaker 1: of sanctions. In Iran, by the way, has more sanctions
- 34:13Speaker 1: on it than almost any country on Earth. This time,
- 34:16Speaker 1: Trump isn't only going after Iran, He's going after everyone
- 34:20Speaker 1: who does.
- 34:20Speaker 2: Business with Iran.
- 34:22Speaker 1: In his announcement, the President said, any country that lets
- 34:25Speaker 1: its bank, its businesses, it's airports, or its ports through
- 34:29Speaker 1: Tehran a lifeline, it will itself face his words, tremendous
- 34:34Speaker 1: economic consequences, oil smuggling, cash transfers, front companies. It all
- 34:39Speaker 1: needs to stop now, he said, you know who you are.
- 34:43Speaker 2: That's the whole world being told to.
- 34:44Speaker 1: Pick a side that it's working because Iran was already
- 34:48Speaker 1: on the ropes. Look at the numbers. The US naval
- 34:51Speaker 1: blockade has choked Iran's oil exports, their single biggest source
- 34:55Speaker 1: of cash, from two million barrels a day down to
- 34:59Speaker 1: two hundred thousand. And that's a ninety percent cut. And
- 35:02Speaker 1: it's costing the regime four hundred and thirty five million
- 35:05Speaker 1: dollars every single day. Their currency is collapsing, inflation is
- 35:10Speaker 1: running north of fifty percent. The International Monetary Fund expects
- 35:15Speaker 1: their economy to shrink six percent this year.
- 35:18Speaker 2: This is a regime.
- 35:19Speaker 1: That, by the president's own account, is struggling to pay
- 35:22Speaker 1: its own military. And understand what this really represents, because
- 35:27Speaker 1: this is the part the war critics miss. For six months,
- 35:30Speaker 1: this has been a shooting war. Now the president's choosing
- 35:33Speaker 1: a different weapon. Instead of sending more American planes and
- 35:37Speaker 1: more American treasure into the Middle East, He's going to
- 35:40Speaker 1: break this regime with its own empty bank account. He's
- 35:45Speaker 1: squeezing them until they either come back to the table
- 35:48Speaker 1: or the whole rotten structure caves in on itself. Now, Tehran,
- 35:52Speaker 1: it's putting on a brave face of course, the Foreign
- 35:55Speaker 1: Minister came out this morning and called it economic terrorism.
- 36:00Speaker 2: This is almost funny.
- 36:02Speaker 1: They tried to change the subject to America's national debt.
- 36:06Speaker 1: The terror regime that murders its own people in finances
- 36:09Speaker 1: militias across the region is lecturing the United States about money.
- 36:13Speaker 1: Their deputy four and Minister sneered that the military war
- 36:17Speaker 1: didn't yield results, So now they've named the next failure
- 36:21Speaker 1: economic war. We'll see how confident they.
- 36:26Speaker 2: Sound when the money is completely gone.
- 36:27Speaker 1: Joining me now for analysis is Stefano Rittendale. He is
- 36:31Speaker 1: the chief intelligence officer at Notorious Stefano.
- 36:35Speaker 2: Welcome David Pollock Prime Time. You think this is gonna work?
- 36:39Speaker 1: I mean, we've tried other things, right, so at least
- 36:43Speaker 1: it's a step in the right direction.
- 36:45Speaker 12: Well, David, thank you again for having me on again.
- 36:48Speaker 12: What I would say is what we've done before were sanctions,
- 36:52Speaker 12: even drink code in station, but we've never seen something
- 36:54Speaker 12: into this magnitude. Right, The naval blockade has caused a
- 36:57Speaker 12: significant amount of problems for the Rainy as or exports
- 37:00Speaker 12: has plummeted. Their old export has also gone to zero
- 37:03Speaker 12: or very close to that, and has dropped precipitously since
- 37:06Speaker 12: the beginning of this year when there was actually an
- 37:08Speaker 12: oil waiver for i Ranian oil where they were able
- 37:11Speaker 12: to push more oil out. Now that's kind of cut through.
- 37:14Speaker 12: And then we're also talking about this in the backdrop
- 37:16Speaker 12: of a very significant war where their economy suffered enormously,
- 37:19Speaker 12: not only their military but their industrial base as well.
- 37:22Speaker 12: And we've already seen unemployment skyrocket across Iran, causing significant issue.
- 37:27Speaker 12: But there was another detail that I thought was kind
- 37:29Speaker 12: of maybe missed when President Trump announced this Economic d Day,
- 37:33Speaker 12: and that's an announcement by the United Arab Emirates saying
- 37:36Speaker 12: that they're halting all trade and financial transactions with Iran.
- 37:39Speaker 12: And what that is significant is because Dubai and UAE
- 37:42Speaker 12: as a whole generally served as a conduit for Iran
- 37:45Speaker 12: to kind of avoid saying sins and many countries look
- 37:47Speaker 12: the other way, and Dubai leverage is to try to
- 37:50Speaker 12: gain some influence and some goodwill from the Ranians that
- 37:53Speaker 12: obviously they shattered when they started to attack UAE. That
- 37:56Speaker 12: announcement is also very significant because now the problem that
- 37:59Speaker 12: they're rangers are going to have is not only from
- 38:01Speaker 12: an economic perspective, which is extremely dire to say the leaves,
- 38:06Speaker 12: but even their corruption networks that they use to maintain
- 38:10Speaker 12: loyalty within the IERGC, their internal security forces in the military,
- 38:14Speaker 12: that's also being squeezed significantly. We're seeing reports that a
- 38:17Speaker 12: lot of their soldiers are complaining that they're being paid.
- 38:20Speaker 12: And if they can't leverage their corruption networks to kind
- 38:22Speaker 12: of grease the wheels, it causes a lot of issues.
- 38:25Speaker 12: So in a lot of areas they Ranian economy and
- 38:28Speaker 12: the corruption networks are suffering significantly. They think they can
- 38:31Speaker 12: outlast the United States. I think that's very optimistic, to
- 38:34Speaker 12: say the least.
- 38:35Speaker 1: Yeah, And look, I think this is actually a brilliant
- 38:37Speaker 1: pivot in strategy because Iran thought that all they have
- 38:41Speaker 1: to do is wait out the United States in a
- 38:44Speaker 1: way that knowing the midterms were coming, knowing that their
- 38:47Speaker 1: disinformation operations were becoming successful, and the narrative at home
- 38:51Speaker 1: was shifting against the war, and they.
- 38:53Speaker 2: Know that if they continue to keep the.
- 38:56Speaker 1: Conflict going, gas prices stay high and Americans are upset
- 38:58Speaker 1: and it hurts Trump. But then Trump flipped it around
- 39:01Speaker 1: on them, because here's what gets to happen now, we
- 39:03Speaker 1: put these economic pressures on Iran, the shooting more stops
- 39:06Speaker 1: the trader. The oil market calms down just a little
- 39:10Speaker 1: bit because there's more certainty. It's that rocket versus a
- 39:12Speaker 1: feather effect on the gas prices.
- 39:14Speaker 2: We make it through November, and.
- 39:17Speaker 1: Then you know what, the economy is even weaker in Iran,
- 39:20Speaker 1: and then the war is back on and now we
- 39:22Speaker 1: don't have to worry about another election, and then we
- 39:25Speaker 1: start hitting them kinetically again. I think the President has
- 39:28Speaker 1: really kind of reset the table here, and I think
- 39:31Speaker 1: Iran doesn't have the patients that they think they have, right,
- 39:35Speaker 1: And I would.
- 39:36Speaker 12: Agree with that. And look, even if we're talking about
- 39:38Speaker 12: the midterms, people are like, well, that's November, and I
- 39:41Speaker 12: would like to remind everybody that the new Congress takes
- 39:43Speaker 12: over in January, right, and a couple of months without
- 39:47Speaker 12: any oil export, minimum export, even land crossings, et cetera
- 39:51Speaker 12: is a long time. And look, we know that the
- 39:53Speaker 12: Iranian president and some of the moderates acknowledge the economic problem,
- 39:58Speaker 12: and they acknowledge that it's I think what people are
- 40:00Speaker 12: missing is there is very little to almost no economic
- 40:04Speaker 12: output out of Iran. Consumerism has dropped drastically. You mentioned
- 40:08Speaker 12: the figure of fifty percent of inflation. Some reports indicate
- 40:11Speaker 12: that we might be seeing in the triple digits and
- 40:13Speaker 12: that the Iranian statistics are either misleading or not capturing
- 40:18Speaker 12: the entire picture, because in some areas they're already showing
- 40:21Speaker 12: signs of triple digits inflation. We're seeing gas shortages in Iran. Again,
- 40:25Speaker 12: Iran as a major oil exporter, so the irony that
- 40:27Speaker 12: they have gas shortage, and we need to look at
- 40:30Speaker 12: the situation in January when the protest happens, when tens
- 40:32Speaker 12: of thousands Iranian protesters were killed. It started because of
- 40:36Speaker 12: economic grievance that is just extenuated and have worsened to
- 40:40Speaker 12: the point where again manufacturing has a standstill, consumerism as
- 40:44Speaker 12: a standstill, significant rise in unemployment, inflation, the reality evaluation,
- 40:49Speaker 12: and no export. And then it goes back to this
- 40:51Speaker 12: corruption network that Iran has been leveraging for a long
- 40:54Speaker 12: time is now also suffering that might cause internal tensions. Look,
- 40:57Speaker 12: it is hard to say, David, I always say this.
- 41:01Speaker 12: One of the hardest things to understand when you're trying
- 41:03Speaker 12: to analyze foreign militaries or foreign governments and in war specifically,
- 41:06Speaker 12: is this idea of the will to fight, right, we
- 41:09Speaker 12: try to analyze, well, what is that cascading effect that
- 41:11Speaker 12: breaks the countries or military's will to fight and has
- 41:14Speaker 12: a domino effect for wind. That's very difficult to analyze
- 41:18Speaker 12: and try to pinpoint exactly. But if I'm looking at
- 41:22Speaker 12: certain conditions that need to be met, we're starting to
- 41:24Speaker 12: see at least some of those initially or over far
- 41:27Speaker 12: more advanced. And the fact that, for example, the Iranian
- 41:29Speaker 12: military is complaining about pay, and we're seeing the IRGC
- 41:32Speaker 12: try to prioritize the military and the internal apparatus and
- 41:36Speaker 12: sacrifice the civilian population. You might see the conduits of
- 41:40Speaker 12: another January protest and then the flip side if they
- 41:43Speaker 12: want to prioritize their civilian economy that is decimated not existence.
- 41:47Speaker 12: The United States obviously is going to demand a lot
- 41:49Speaker 12: of things from the nuclear and even the military profile.
- 41:51Speaker 12: And again, the Iranian military has been very much significantly degraded,
- 41:54Speaker 12: which is enabling the United States to bypass their Ranian
- 41:57Speaker 12: blockade in the Straits of hor moves. So I think
- 42:00Speaker 12: the United States and President Trump has found the sweet
- 42:02Speaker 12: spot where we feel more comfortable operating. Yes, it's causing
- 42:06Speaker 12: pain to the American people. But if we're going to
- 42:09Speaker 12: compare the economic situation in the United States the one
- 42:11Speaker 12: in Iran, I'd rather be in the United States a
- 42:14Speaker 12: million percent.
- 42:15Speaker 4: You.
- 42:15Speaker 1: Yeah, excellent point about the protests too, because yeah, that's
- 42:19Speaker 1: what started all of this. It was the United States saying, hey,
- 42:21Speaker 1: there's a real movement to get rid of the Islamic
- 42:24Speaker 1: regime in Iran.
- 42:25Speaker 2: All we have to do is help him out.
- 42:26Speaker 1: And that's sort of what set this whole conflict spiraling.
- 42:30Speaker 1: And we might just be right back there, but Iran
- 42:33Speaker 1: is going to be in a much worse position when
- 42:34Speaker 1: that happens, and they don't have any friends in the
- 42:36Speaker 1: region anymore.
- 42:37Speaker 2: Stuffin a great points. Great having you here. You're such
- 42:39Speaker 2: a wealth of knowledge, and I appreciate you coming back.
- 42:42Speaker 12: Thank you, David so much for having me.

- 44:45Speaker 1: Before Donald Trump is known as mister president. He was
- 44:49Speaker 1: known as a builder. How Come mom, he's ever called
- 44:52Speaker 1: him Don the Builder. I'm calling him Don the Builder.
- 44:54Speaker 1: I'm coining that right here, mister president. And despite his
- 44:57Speaker 1: title as president, he he never walked away from the
- 45:02Speaker 1: old one.
- 45:02Speaker 2: And yesterday Donald Trump walked out onto the.
- 45:05Speaker 1: South lawn of the White House and in the sun,
- 45:07Speaker 1: he gave a bunch of reporters a personal tour of
- 45:09Speaker 1: his construction projects, very proud of them. A brand new helipad,
- 45:13Speaker 1: he rebuilt driveway, new flagpoles, a ballroom on the way
- 45:17Speaker 1: if Democrats allow it.
- 45:18Speaker 2: And he was having the time of his life.
- 45:20Speaker 11: Watch one thing I know how to do his build
- 45:24Speaker 11: and so we put a brand new face on the
- 45:27Speaker 11: fur of the White House. On the ground the cars
- 45:29Speaker 11: will pull up, and this is what you'd have as
- 45:32Speaker 11: opposed to the asphalt, which was literally they.
- 45:35Speaker 2: Had potholes in it. It's ridiculous.
- 45:37Speaker 11: Well, the way this place was taken care of nobody,
- 45:40Speaker 11: including other presidents.
- 45:42Speaker 2: They didn't see it, but I see it.
- 45:44Speaker 11: Because I was very good at real estate, like maybe
- 45:46Speaker 11: the best in a lot of ways.
- 45:48Speaker 2: And I love construction. I love seeing things properly taken
- 45:52Speaker 2: care of.
- 45:53Speaker 1: Now these projects will be here long after we're gone.
- 45:56Speaker 1: That's what President Trump said, and that's the whole point.
- 45:59Speaker 1: For decades, and has treated the White House like a
- 46:01Speaker 1: rental car. They drove it hard, and they let it
- 46:03Speaker 1: fall apart, and then they handed the keys and the
- 46:05Speaker 1: repair bill to the next guy.
- 46:07Speaker 2: Donald Trump.
- 46:08Speaker 1: Well, he treats it like it actually is the most
- 46:10Speaker 1: important house in the country. Calls it the People's House,
- 46:13Speaker 1: and he's restoring it the way only a man who
- 46:16Speaker 1: builds skyscrapers for a living wood. Down to the radial
- 46:20Speaker 1: cut of the granite, in the placement of the potholes,
- 46:23Speaker 1: he's filling them in with real building materials. Let's start
- 46:28Speaker 1: with the helipad. The new Marine one fleet is so
- 46:31Speaker 1: powerful it's rotwash was tearing up the south lawn so
- 46:35Speaker 1: they couldn't even use the modern helicopters at the White
- 46:37Speaker 1: House without causing damage, and the groundskeepers were getting a
- 46:40Speaker 1: little frustrated. Trump's helipad carved granite with the presidential seal
- 46:44Speaker 1: right into the center.
- 46:45Speaker 2: It fixes that problem.
- 46:46Speaker 1: Then his words, they can land any helicopter in the world,
- 46:49Speaker 1: no matter how big, no matter how powerful. And it's
- 46:52Speaker 1: nearly done, just in time to welcome forward leaders to
- 46:54Speaker 1: a White.
- 46:55Speaker 2: House that looks the part.
- 46:57Speaker 1: And I know exactly what the credits are going to
- 46:59Speaker 1: say here right with, probably already heard it.
- 47:01Speaker 2: They're gonna whine about the cause.
- 47:03Speaker 11: Oh it's so nice that he could build a helipad
- 47:04Speaker 11: when everything else is so expensive.
- 47:06Speaker 2: Boo oo.
- 47:07Speaker 1: Let me stop you right there, because the President said,
- 47:11Speaker 1: here's how these projects are getting paid for.
- 47:13Speaker 2: Look, I know it financed by paid.
- 47:17Speaker 4: So you're not.
- 47:17Speaker 2: It's contributed. It's just like my salary is contributed. Nobody
- 47:22Speaker 2: ever meant some jack.
- 47:24Speaker 1: He said, these projects are being financed by me, just
- 47:27Speaker 1: like my salary, and says nobody ever mentions that.
- 47:29Speaker 2: And that's the thing.
- 47:30Speaker 1: The helipad, the manufacturers, they're actually picking up the tab
- 47:34Speaker 1: the ballroom. Two hundred million dollars funded by the President
- 47:37Speaker 1: and private donors, not taxpayers. Two giant American flags he
- 47:40Speaker 1: raised over the White House last year, about fifty thousand
- 47:42Speaker 1: dollars apiece. Not a penny of it was yours, all
- 47:45Speaker 1: private donations this man donates his salary and then they
- 47:48Speaker 1: attack them for beautifying the people's house on his own dime. Seriously,
- 47:51Speaker 1: they hate the country and the president that much. Now
- 47:54Speaker 1: here's what this really is. Back in nineteen eighty six
- 47:56Speaker 1: New York City, it spent six years and a million
- 48:00Speaker 1: dollars of a taxpayer money and they couldn't fix a
- 48:04Speaker 1: simple ice skating rink in Central Park, the Woolman Rink.
- 48:07Speaker 1: It became a national joke, and a young developer named
- 48:09Speaker 1: Donald Trump took it over finished it within a few
- 48:12Speaker 1: months under budget. Yesterday, standing on the helipad, he compared
- 48:15Speaker 1: this project to that one, because it's the same instinct.
- 48:18Speaker 1: Government lets things rot, Trump fixes them. That's who this
- 48:22Speaker 1: man has always been. They can obsess over the cost
- 48:26Speaker 1: of a helicopter pad that the taxpayers aren't paying.
- 48:29Speaker 2: For if they want.
- 48:30Speaker 1: I'd rather have a president who cares about whether it's
- 48:32Speaker 1: built right and looks nice and represents this country the
- 48:35Speaker 1: way it should be represented.
- 48:37Speaker 2: It's a people's house and people.
- 48:38Speaker 1: Should see it's worth restoring for the people who came
- 48:42Speaker 1: after us. It's not vanity, it's stewardship. Joining me now
- 48:45Speaker 1: with reaction, Michael Casey he's White House correspondent with O'Keeffe
- 48:48Speaker 1: Media Group. Hello, Michael, welcome to the show. The White
- 48:53Speaker 1: House is beautiful. His improvements are great. You've seen him firsthand.
- 48:56Speaker 1: What do you think about everything he's doing to the
- 48:58Speaker 1: house and what do you say to the people who
- 48:59Speaker 1: are criticizing it.
- 49:01Speaker 15: Well, thank you for having me back on, David. It's
- 49:03Speaker 15: always a pleague to be on with you. It's always
- 49:05Speaker 15: great to hear the wise words from Dave Pollock. I
- 49:07Speaker 15: always say a yeah. The White House is just so
- 49:11Speaker 15: a unique, beautiful place. I've had the honor to be
- 49:13Speaker 15: there's a number of times, and it is just a
- 49:16Speaker 15: magical place. And just like DC, it's going through a
- 49:18Speaker 15: revival right now, kind of a golden revival under President Trump.
- 49:22Speaker 15: DC used to be so disgusting and filthy, homeless everywhere,
- 49:27Speaker 15: just no regard for garbage pickup. You'd see garbage chnicuially
- 49:31Speaker 15: turned over at garbage pouring out. You'd see homeless people
- 49:33Speaker 15: clean themselves in water fountains and Union Station. But now
- 49:36Speaker 15: everything's picked up. It's cleaned up, and now you have
- 49:39Speaker 15: the National Guard. They're protecting people, keeping them safe. There's
- 49:42Speaker 15: a lot less homeless in the streets now there's crime
- 49:44Speaker 15: has been reduced exponentially.
- 49:46Speaker 9: And I think, again, this is just a no brainer
- 49:49Speaker 9: to me.
- 49:50Speaker 15: If as President Trump that specified this is about five
- 49:53Speaker 15: to six million dollars in cost being funded by the
- 49:55Speaker 15: manufacturer of the helicopter industry, Hockey Martin, I believe it was.
- 50:00Speaker 15: So if they're paying for it, then what's the problem
- 50:04Speaker 15: that seems like it's a no brand. I've seen the
- 50:05Speaker 15: helicopter land on the White House grounds before. It's really
- 50:09Speaker 15: breath taking experience. I will say it's a really amazing experience.
- 50:11Speaker 15: But landing in grass is a lot different than landing
- 50:15Speaker 15: on the helipad. It's safer, it's nicer, it's just so
- 50:18Speaker 15: much more graceful. And when you have all these foreign
- 50:21Speaker 15: dignitaries coming, President Trump wants America to be respected and
- 50:25Speaker 15: sees this powerful, strong, beautiful place, and really any foreign
- 50:28Speaker 15: dignitary should be impressed when they come to America. And
- 50:30Speaker 15: President Trump, whether you're coming into Union Station by train
- 50:33Speaker 15: or landing on the helipad, he wants to be the
- 50:35Speaker 15: most biggest, beautiful of capital ever And this long term thing,
- 50:39Speaker 15: well after him, it's for future our generations to take
- 50:43Speaker 15: advantage of and have their respect taken in filmation of
- 50:45Speaker 15: foreign in dignitaries. And last thing I'll say too is
- 50:48Speaker 15: this cost maybe between five to six million, funded privately
- 50:50Speaker 15: by its manufacturers. That's a lot less than For example,
- 50:54Speaker 15: Kathy Hogal, the Democrat governor of New York, is spending
- 50:57Speaker 15: seven and a half million of taxpayer money, taxpayer money
- 51:00Speaker 15: on legal alien children.
- 51:01Speaker 9: She has announced assistance to them.
- 51:03Speaker 15: So it's kind of ironic these Democrats who will criticize
- 51:06Speaker 15: when private donations fund something to drastically improve and beautify
- 51:10Speaker 15: our country, then they'll spend even more money of our
- 51:13Speaker 15: money to.
- 51:15Speaker 9: Help the legal aliens. So it's very ironic to me.
- 51:18Speaker 1: Well, you know, they don't like the country, they're not
- 51:19Speaker 1: proud of it, so they don't want to spend any money.
- 51:21Speaker 1: It's like living in a house that you don't like
