Speaker 1: Straight Ahead.
0:01
Speaker 2: On Real America, Director of National Intelligence Tulci Gabbard abruptly
0:06
Speaker 2: resigns to support her husband through a sudden health crisis.
0:10
Speaker 2: We have the details on her impending departure and more
0:13
Speaker 2: importantly as well, who was stepping in to take her place.
0:17
Speaker 2: Plus a massive federal healthcare takedown in Minnesota exposes over
0:22
Speaker 2: ninety million dollars in fraud, including a record breaking autism
0:27
Speaker 2: scam and a suspect who jumped from a fourth floor
0:30
Speaker 2: balcony just to escape. The FBI and the Pentagon pulls
0:35
Speaker 2: back the curtain on government secrets, launching a dedicated website
0:39
Speaker 2: stacked with hundreds of newly declassified UFO files, videos, and
0:43
Speaker 2: even shocking eyewitness accounts. I'm Riley lewis in for Danvall
0:48
Speaker 2: and Real America starts right now. Good evening. I'm Riley
0:59
Speaker 2: lewis in for Dan Ball this evening. We begin tonight's
1:03
Speaker 2: program with another shake up within the Trump administration cabinet.
1:12
Speaker 2: Toulci Gabbert resigned just hours ago from her position as
1:15
Speaker 2: the Director of National Intelligence. Gabbert cited a personal family
1:20
Speaker 2: crisis for her decision to ultimately step down, stating that
1:24
Speaker 2: her husband Abraham Williams was recently and tragically diagnosed with
1:29
Speaker 2: an extremely rare form of bone cancer. Taking to social media,
1:34
Speaker 2: she said this, I am deeply grateful for the trust
1:38
Speaker 2: President Trump placed in me and for the opportunity to
1:42
Speaker 2: lead the Office of the Director of National Intelligence for
1:45
Speaker 2: the last year and a half. Unfortunately, I must submit
1:49
Speaker 2: my resignation effective June thirtieth, twenty twenty six.
1:55
Speaker 3: Now.
1:55
Speaker 1: She also went on to add this.
1:57
Speaker 2: And I quote here, my husband faces may major challenges
2:01
Speaker 2: in the coming weeks and months. At this time, I
2:03
Speaker 2: must step away from public service to be by his
2:06
Speaker 2: side and fully support him through this battle, and a
2:10
Speaker 2: battle I'm sure it will be now. Responding to Cavert's decision,
2:14
Speaker 2: President Trump had this to say about her impending departure
2:17
Speaker 2: from the office. Unfortunately, after having done a great job,
2:21
Speaker 2: Tulci Gabbard will be leaving the administration on June thirtieth.
2:25
Speaker 2: Her wonderful husband to Abraham has been recently diagnosed with
2:29
Speaker 2: a rare form of bone cancer, and she rightfully wants
2:34
Speaker 2: to be with him bringing him back to good health
2:37
Speaker 2: as they currently fight a tough battle together. I have
2:40
Speaker 2: no doubt he will soon be better than ever Tulci has
2:43
Speaker 2: done an incredible job and we will miss her. Her
2:47
Speaker 2: highly respected Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence, Aaron Lucas,
2:51
Speaker 2: will serve as acting Director of National Intelligence. President Donald
2:55
Speaker 2: Trump joining me out now to discuss this whole situation
2:58
Speaker 2: and what it means is Jonathan Gilliam, retired Navy seal officer,
3:02
Speaker 2: retired FBI special agent, and national security analyst who's dedicated
3:07
Speaker 2: his entire life to public service. Jonathan, thank you for
3:09
Speaker 2: joining me. A lot of news still coming to light.
3:12
Speaker 2: What do you make of it?
3:15
Speaker 4: Well, I'll tell you these things are to be expected,
3:18
Speaker 4: first of all, and the headlines are going to be
3:20
Speaker 4: huge because you know she's resigning, and that's always a
3:24
Speaker 4: big punch to the visual aspect of any president's time
3:32
Speaker 4: in office. These people inevitably leave, some of them just
3:35
Speaker 4: from exhaustion. But in this case, you know, Tulsa has
3:38
Speaker 4: a real family crisis that she's going to And I'll
3:41
Speaker 4: be honest, I never trusted Tulsa Gabbard. I still don't
3:46
Speaker 4: fully trust her, just because of her background and and
3:51
Speaker 4: because of her political leanings that she never disavowed many
3:57
Speaker 4: of them. However, I think she's done a great job
3:59
Speaker 4: while she's been in and so I'll give her that.
4:01
Speaker 4: I'm I'm never going to just downplay somebody because of
4:08
Speaker 4: whether or not I trust them or not. She's done
4:10
Speaker 4: a good job. She's kept the status quo. Although we
4:14
Speaker 4: don't know a lot about the particulars of what she's done,
4:18
Speaker 4: she's kept a low profile and a professional profile, and
4:21
Speaker 4: I appreciate that.
4:23
Speaker 1: So start I think, oh, thanks, Jonathan, go ahead, go ahead, please.
4:26
Speaker 4: Well, I just I don't know much about the deputy
4:30
Speaker 4: director that's taken over. I really don't know a lot
4:32
Speaker 4: about him, and so that's going to be something that
4:35
Speaker 4: I have to look at as to how he got
4:38
Speaker 4: appointed and was he brought in by Tulsi or brought
4:41
Speaker 4: in by other people, so that I don't know.
4:44
Speaker 2: Agreed, I think a lot of us have questions, naturally.
4:47
Speaker 2: What I will say first is that my heart, you know,
4:49
Speaker 2: breaks for Tulsi and her husband. I will keep them
4:52
Speaker 2: both in my thoughts and my prayers moving forward. I've
4:55
Speaker 2: seen how cancer a diagnosis like that, you get the
4:58
Speaker 2: phone call. Sometimes it's expected, sometimes it isn't, but it's
5:02
Speaker 2: challenging and it can be heartbreaking. Nonetheless, it's a difficult
5:05
Speaker 2: thing to navigate, Jonathan, truly, and I hope that they
5:08
Speaker 2: have access to incredible medical care. We'll see what happens
5:10
Speaker 2: on that front, but I am praying for her and
5:12
Speaker 2: for her husband and the rest of their family. But
5:15
Speaker 2: to your point about what that office even does, I
5:18
Speaker 2: think a lot of Americans they view the whole intel
5:21
Speaker 2: apparatus and they see a lot of mystery around it.
5:24
Speaker 2: And so I'm hoping, given your credentials, you could help
5:26
Speaker 2: us just highlight a little bit of what her role
5:29
Speaker 2: even is official job responsibilities, and whether or not that
5:33
Speaker 2: role really is important in modern day politics.
5:36
Speaker 4: I think the simplest way to explain what the DNI
5:39
Speaker 4: does is that she is a funnel of all the
5:42
Speaker 4: intel agencies. We have a tremendous amount. It's not just
5:45
Speaker 4: the CIA. Well, it's not just the NSA. Those are
5:48
Speaker 4: the big ones that everybody knows about. There's intelligence agencies
5:53
Speaker 4: or groups that span throughout the wit and breadth of
6:00
Speaker 4: the United States government and uh so that includes the
6:03
Speaker 4: military and all the different agencies and special groups and
6:08
Speaker 4: special projects. So that information gets funneled into the d
6:12
Speaker 4: and I and is kind of a manager of all
6:17
Speaker 4: of these different aspects of intelligence, and that that's basically
6:21
Speaker 4: I think, in a nutshell, what the d n I
6:25
Speaker 4: does far far great greater responsibility than just the way
6:30
Speaker 4: I just explained it. But for most people, I think
6:33
Speaker 4: that's what they can comprehend. And so it is a
6:38
Speaker 4: huge asset for the president, who is basically the authority
6:44
Speaker 4: of all these things. And so the d n I
6:48
Speaker 4: is the the the funnel or the conduit for all
6:50
Speaker 4: that information that allows the president. Because remember, ultimately the
6:55
Speaker 4: d and I works for the president. It's the d
6:58
Speaker 4: and I is the the joystick or the computer screen
7:05
Speaker 4: that gives the president all the information that he needs
7:10
Speaker 4: to make decisions from the intelligence communities communities.
7:14
Speaker 2: No, I appreciate that. Thank you for my own edification, Donathan.
7:18
Speaker 2: So let me ask you this a two part question
7:20
Speaker 2: for you.
7:21
Speaker 5: Now.
7:22
Speaker 2: Part number one, I want you to let's quickly walk
7:26
Speaker 2: through some of those big wins that she has secured.
7:29
Speaker 2: Number two, regardless of who takes over their role. Next,
7:33
Speaker 2: what do we still need to do here in terms
7:35
Speaker 2: of advancing the president's agenda, the people's agenda, but also
7:39
Speaker 2: trying to root out corruption in the intel apparatus and
7:42
Speaker 2: really trying to get at that goal of draining the swamp.
7:47
Speaker 4: Well, that to me is the number one thing is
7:50
Speaker 4: and I didn't we saw some of this through TULSI
7:54
Speaker 4: and some of the INTEL agencies. We haven't really heard
7:58
Speaker 4: too much from the CIA or particular individual agencies of
8:04
Speaker 4: getting rid of or how they're targeting the leftists. And
8:08
Speaker 4: this has been my issue.
8:09
Speaker 5: All along for how all of.
8:12
Speaker 4: These agencies are being cleaned out, because it's not like
8:16
Speaker 4: one agency versus another has a completely different way that
8:20
Speaker 4: the left has infiltrated subverted and I would use the
8:24
Speaker 4: word subversion because it is against the law to subvert
8:27
Speaker 4: the United States government, and I believe that's what's happened.
8:30
Speaker 4: But it's uniformed across the board, with specific tactics, techniques,
8:35
Speaker 4: and procedures in each of these types of agencies. And
8:39
Speaker 4: I don't think we have a handle on that. I
8:40
Speaker 4: don't think we have Tom Homan in Immigration, who is
8:45
Speaker 4: the borders are and we need to mimic that and
8:49
Speaker 4: have a justice are or subversions are, whatever you would
8:53
Speaker 4: like to call them, that's able to coordinate with all
8:56
Speaker 4: of these agency leaders almost like those did, but looking
9:00
Speaker 4: for ways that not necessarily waste fraud and abuse.
9:04
Speaker 3: But looking at the.
9:08
Speaker 4: Results of leftists and how they were able to do
9:13
Speaker 4: these things and damage all these agencies, and then put
9:17
Speaker 4: these together in a matrix and then start from that
9:20
Speaker 4: point start cleaning house. If the president he could start
9:23
Speaker 4: right now, and by the time he's done, he could
9:26
Speaker 4: have literally changed all of the procedures and policies that
9:30
Speaker 4: were manipulated by the left. And I think if we
9:34
Speaker 4: did that and the dn I for instance, and the
9:37
Speaker 4: CIA and the FBI all participated with this justice Zar,
9:42
Speaker 4: I think that we would see a complete turnaround in
9:45
Speaker 4: all these things. That would also give them more of
9:47
Speaker 4: a platform to get rid of people.
9:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, well, Jonathan Well said, as far as the
9:52
Speaker 2: president goes, I know he's got a million fires to fight,
9:55
Speaker 2: but I agree on some kind of justice weaponized government
9:59
Speaker 2: TZAR role. We'll see what happens in the coming days, weeks,
10:03
Speaker 2: and maybe even months ahead. In the meantime, I do
10:05
Speaker 2: want to take a moment to, you know, say again,
10:07
Speaker 2: I'm praying for Tulsi and her husband, the whole family.
10:10
Speaker 2: I want to thank her for her service in this
10:12
Speaker 2: role to this country. We'll see what happens next. By
10:15
Speaker 2: a greed critical moment here to fighting one for this
10:17
Speaker 2: White House, this administration, and Jonathan, before I let you go,
10:20
Speaker 2: I want to thank you again for your service to
10:22
Speaker 2: this country too.
10:24
Speaker 4: Oh listen, I think at this point we're all in service.
10:28
Speaker 4: And that's what you people have to realize, is that
10:30
Speaker 4: from Washington in general, George Washington and all the people
10:35
Speaker 4: have worked for him until now. The reality is the
10:38
Speaker 4: only thing it separates somebody in official service from civilian
10:42
Speaker 4: is the fact that they step forward, raise their right
10:45
Speaker 4: hand and officially make it known.
10:47
Speaker 5: But as a.
10:48
Speaker 4: Free American, you're in service for that freedom. Whether or
10:51
Speaker 4: not you choose to do anything to support and defend
10:55
Speaker 4: that from enemies foreign domestic, that's up to you. But
11:00
Speaker 4: we really are all in service. It's it's a veil
11:06
Speaker 4: that's put over us to make us look like we've
11:08
Speaker 4: did done something extra. But the reality is every day
11:11
Speaker 4: somebody wakes up and does something good for this nation,
11:14
Speaker 4: they are serving the nation.
11:16
Speaker 1: Jonathan, excellent point. Thank you for your time today, you
11:19
Speaker 1: got it.
11:20
Speaker 6: Thank you.
11:21
Speaker 2: Coming up next on Real America, the Trump administration continues
11:25
Speaker 2: it's historic crackdown on waste fraud abuse.
11:29
Speaker 1: Emphasis on the fraud.
11:31
Speaker 2: In fact, the ringleader of defeeding our future scandal in
11:34
Speaker 2: Minnesota has just been sentenced to.
11:37
Speaker 1: Four decades in prison.
11:38
Speaker 2: Imagine that four decades and the arrests and indictments keep coming.
11:43
Speaker 2: Plus the Department of War releasing more UFO files earlier today,
11:48
Speaker 2: and our friend and Bishop Alan DiDio will share his
11:51
Speaker 2: reaction to what we're seeing and why it matters and
11:54
Speaker 2: should matter. Then we'll be joined by Michael Carmichael from
11:58
Speaker 2: Check a Vette to talk about real meaning of Memorial
12:02
Speaker 2: Day and what we can all do to support gold
12:04
Speaker 2: Star families and veterans alike.
12:06
Speaker 1: That's up next, Don't go anywhere.

12:46
Speaker 8: Today, we're saying clearly no more. Our message is simple.
12:52
Speaker 8: If you are committing fraud, our task forced will find you,
12:56
Speaker 8: will come after you, and we will not rest until
13:00
Speaker 8: justice is served. Don't defraud the American taxpayer, don't get

13:09
Speaker 8: going to come after you until justice is served. That's
13:13
Speaker 8: our promise and we're going to stick to it.
13:15
Speaker 5: Did you just.
13:16
Speaker 2: Hear that powerful words from Vice President Vance. The DOJ
13:20
Speaker 2: is putting the Vice President's words into action right now
13:24
Speaker 2: with a massive historic healthcare fraud takedown in the state
13:29
Speaker 2: of you probably guessed it, Minnesota. Fifteen defendants fifteen including
13:36
Speaker 2: childcare center owners and medicaid providers, are now facing criminal
13:41
Speaker 2: charges for their roles and schemes totaling over ninety million
13:45
Speaker 2: dollars and intended losses.
13:48
Speaker 1: Think about that ninety million.
13:50
Speaker 2: No officials say these scammers targeted critical lifelines for vulnerable
13:55
Speaker 2: Americans people at need. Among the charges is the largest
13:59
Speaker 2: autist medicaid fraud case in our nation's history, a forty
14:04
Speaker 2: six million dollars scheme where defendants allegedly paid kickbacks to
14:10
Speaker 2: parents and diagnosed children regardless of medical necessity. Other charges
14:16
Speaker 2: target unprecedented fraud in housing and community support programs. Even
14:21
Speaker 2: in just one case, a defendant build for twenty four
14:24
Speaker 2: hour care for a vulnerable recipient who's actually found deceased
14:30
Speaker 2: the day beforehand. Then, in a different situation, out of
14:34
Speaker 2: state residents engaged in what they call now fraud tourism,
14:38
Speaker 2: exploiting a housing stabilization program so severely that Minnesota was
14:43
Speaker 2: forced to shut the entire program down last fall. So
14:48
Speaker 2: driven by a nationwide surge in these crimes, maybe they've
14:51
Speaker 2: always been happening, but we're just learning about them. The
14:54
Speaker 2: DOJ is expanding its healthcare fraud Section, funding fifteen new
14:59
Speaker 2: trial attorneys to dismantle illegal schemes coast to coast.
15:04
Speaker 9: The fraud here in Minnesota is shocking. Our cases today
15:10
Speaker 9: involved seven different state managed Medicaid programs that have been
15:16
Speaker 9: systematically pilfered by fraudsters who treated Minnesota run programs as
15:22
Speaker 9: their personal piggybank. One of the programs has been completely
15:28
Speaker 9: shut down because there's no money left. It's all gone.
15:34
Speaker 1: Shocking levels of fraud.
15:35
Speaker 2: One of the suspects tied to the healthcare fraud takedown
15:38
Speaker 2: literally gave a law enforcement a run for their money.
15:41
Speaker 2: Federal officials say Mohammed Omar allegedly no connection to ill Hand,
15:46
Speaker 2: one of the masterminds accused of running a multi million
15:50
Speaker 2: dollar home healthcare scam, leaped from a fourth floor balcony
15:55
Speaker 2: on Thursday morning just to escape agents. Shocking video shows
15:59
Speaker 2: own or hobbling away barefoot, triggering a brief manhunt hours
16:03
Speaker 2: before the DJ's news conference, but his freedom was short lived.
16:07
Speaker 2: FBI Director cash Matel announced that he has been captured now.
16:12
Speaker 2: Prosecutors allege Omar used taxpayer dollars to fund a luxury
16:16
Speaker 2: lifestyle surprise surprise, including the lease of a Mercedes Benz
16:20
Speaker 2: and buying real estate in Kenya out of the country.
16:24
Speaker 2: He now faces additional charges for fleing. Omar, of course,
16:29
Speaker 2: is just one piece of a much larger, despicable puzzle
16:31
Speaker 2: of deceit and fraud. Health and Human Service As Secretary
16:35
Speaker 2: RFK Junior traveled to Minneapolis to personally underline the severity
16:39
Speaker 2: of the crackdown, and he blasted the defendants for using
16:42
Speaker 2: the state's most vulnerable children as a personal piggybank, pointing
16:46
Speaker 2: directly to what he calls a record setting exploitation of
16:50
Speaker 2: taxpayer money.
16:52
Speaker 10: Today's it rests represent the largest odd to some fraud
16:56
Speaker 10: bust in American history. This was not a paperwork who
17:00
Speaker 10: is not a technical violation. This was an organized threat,
17:05
Speaker 10: organized theft, and exploited the most vulnerable children in America.
17:10
Speaker 10: To see, families stole taxpayer dollars meant to help children
17:14
Speaker 10: with autism access legitimate Karen support, folks.
17:22
Speaker 1: Shocking.
17:23
Speaker 2: Indeed, Now there's Amy Bach, of course, the mastermind behind
17:25
Speaker 2: the largest pandemic era fraud case in our country's history,
17:30
Speaker 2: who's been sentenced to over forty years in federal prison.
17:34
Speaker 2: A federal judge in Minneapolis handed down the five hundred
17:37
Speaker 2: month sentence, ordering Back to pay two hundred and forty
17:41
Speaker 2: two million dollars in restitution, and because there was no
17:46
Speaker 2: parole in the federal system, the forty five year old
17:49
Speaker 2: will serve nearly all of that time for decades, Folks.
17:53
Speaker 2: Four decades back, used a nonprofit Feeding Our Future to
17:58
Speaker 2: steal millions from a federal program meant to feed needy
18:02
Speaker 2: and hungry children during.
18:03
Speaker 1: The COVID nineteen pandemic.
18:07
Speaker 2: So to speak, prosecutors called her the beating heart of
18:10
Speaker 2: a massive quarter billion dollar plot. Instead of feeding hungry children,
18:16
Speaker 2: the stolen cash was used to buy luxury cars, to
18:18
Speaker 2: buy expensive homes, and some of it was sent overseas. Now,
18:23
Speaker 2: on handing down her sentence, Judge Nancy Brussel admonished Bach,
18:27
Speaker 2: saying this is a vortex a fraud and you were
18:30
Speaker 2: at the epicenter. Out of seventy nine people charged in
18:33
Speaker 2: the sweeping investigation, sixty six have now been convicted. And
18:37
Speaker 2: joining us now to discuss is someone from inside Minnesota
18:40
Speaker 2: running for governor, Kendall Qualls, Kendall.
18:45
Speaker 1: Riley, thank you for having me, Thank you, thank you
18:47
Speaker 1: for being here.
18:48
Speaker 2: The state you're running for governor in it's a mess.
18:52
Speaker 2: How on earth did we start fixing? I think this
18:54
Speaker 2: is a good start, but I want your thoughts about that.
18:59
Speaker 11: Well, this is what happens when you have a Democrat
19:01
Speaker 11: party that have a complete trifector.
19:04
Speaker 10: They had the.
19:04
Speaker 11: Governor, the Congress, the House as well as the Senate
19:08
Speaker 11: and their own trifector for eight years. This is what
19:11
Speaker 11: happens when you let them in charge of the I
19:17
Speaker 11: would say, the leverage of power in a state. And
19:21
Speaker 11: this is what we've learned our lesson. Now right, let
19:24
Speaker 11: me give you an idea. We are not that far gone.
19:27
Speaker 11: As much as things sound so crazy here in Minnesota,
19:31
Speaker 11: they only have a one seat advantage in the Senate.
19:34
Speaker 11: The Democrats have one seat advantage in the Senate. We're
19:37
Speaker 11: tied in the House, and we win this governor seat,
19:40
Speaker 11: we could have our own trifecta and do a course
19:43
Speaker 11: correction in the state of Minnesota.
19:45
Speaker 3: Wow.
19:46
Speaker 2: No, I believe on the flip side, the front runner,
19:49
Speaker 2: presumably to replace Tim Walls, is Amy Klobachar, which I
19:56
Speaker 2: can't I can't believe that. But let me ask you this, then, Kendall,
20:00
Speaker 2: so much of this happening under the nose of Tim Walls,
20:04
Speaker 2: do you suspect investigators might find any kind of evidence
20:08
Speaker 2: of kickbacks or ties directly to him, because we know
20:11
Speaker 2: his administration was confronted about the problem, and according to reports,
20:16
Speaker 2: his administration basically intimidated whistleblowers to keep quiet. They ignored
20:22
Speaker 2: all the red flags. What's your reaction and what do
20:25
Speaker 2: you think might come of that?
20:26
Speaker 5: Oh?
20:27
Speaker 1: Absolutely, so.
20:28
Speaker 11: I want to keep in mind you just mentioned that
20:30
Speaker 11: Amy Bach has been sentenced to four decades in prison.
20:33
Speaker 1: Yes, there's been a lot of.
20:35
Speaker 11: Minions at the lower level as well.
20:37
Speaker 3: No one in Walls.
20:38
Speaker 11: Administration has even been fired for what's happened here. We're
20:43
Speaker 11: just at the tip of the iceberg. And I can
20:46
Speaker 11: tell you that you know, Tim Walls is no Michael Coleoni.
20:52
Speaker 11: This is going to find his way back to his administration.
20:56
Speaker 11: When when whistleblowers told them his administration what was going on,
21:01
Speaker 11: they retaliated against them. And these people, good, good Minnesotans,
21:06
Speaker 11: think we're in the Democrat party. They were registered Democrats
21:10
Speaker 11: that didn't like to see the state being ripped off,
21:14
Speaker 11: and they retaliated against them. So this is gonna be
21:17
Speaker 11: this is gonna this is not gonna be over. When
21:19
Speaker 11: we win this in November, we're gonna do forensic evidence
21:23
Speaker 11: to make sure that we connect the dots and we
21:25
Speaker 11: hold people accountable.
21:27
Speaker 2: Thank you for saying that accountability. Enough of the headlines,
21:31
Speaker 2: enough of the hearings before Congress, wallso that famous one
21:34
Speaker 2: where he had no explanation for anything. What we want
21:38
Speaker 2: is accountability, and I suspect this goes all the way
21:42
Speaker 2: to the top. So final question, Kendall, for people who
21:45
Speaker 2: want to know more about you and your campaign for governor,
21:47
Speaker 2: where can they go?
21:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, righty, thanks?
21:51
Speaker 11: This is they can go to KQ for MN dot
21:53
Speaker 11: com as kq fo RMN dot com. Never held public office.
21:59
Speaker 11: I've been in a private sector in my entire life,
22:01
Speaker 11: leading sales marketing teams the large companies. Have served in
22:05
Speaker 11: the military for five years as an artillery officer. We
22:08
Speaker 11: need outside leadership to clean up the corruption of Saint Paul.
22:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, agreed. Thank you for your time today. I appreciate it.
22:16
Speaker 5: Give bet thank you up.
22:18
Speaker 2: Next on Real America, the ceasefire with Iron is still
22:21
Speaker 2: holding somehow, but things are shaky. The negotiations to finalize
22:25
Speaker 2: any kind of deal are stalled, and the US military
22:28
Speaker 2: is ready to strike once again at a moment's notice.
22:32
Speaker 2: Stay with us, we have the latest. Next.
22:40

23:17
Speaker 1: Welcome back to real America. I'm ready.
23:18
Speaker 2: Lewis filling in for Dan Ball. Secretary of State Marco
23:21
Speaker 2: Rubio speaks out from a NATO minister's meeting in Sweden, Sweden,
23:25
Speaker 2: striking out a tone of cautious optimism on the high
23:28
Speaker 2: stakes negotiations that are happening right now as we speak
23:32
Speaker 2: with Iran. Behind the scenes, Pakistani mediators have been working morning, noon,
23:39
Speaker 2: and night around the clock, presumably seven days a week.
23:43
Speaker 2: It's a full time job just to facilitate communication and
23:48
Speaker 2: engineer a diplomatic breakthrough. But some major sweeping hurdles still remain,
23:54
Speaker 2: beyond the administration's non negotiable standard that te Ran permanently
24:00
Speaker 2: halt its nuclear ambitions, which we all know exist. Negotiators
24:04
Speaker 2: are locked in intense debates over the future of uranium
24:09
Speaker 2: enrichment at all, regardless of what the end use case is,
24:13
Speaker 2: and of course, the crucial reopening of the Strait of
24:15
Speaker 2: Horror moves now Sex State Rubio warns that while President
24:19
Speaker 2: Trump strongly prefers a negotiated deal, US patience is not infinite,
24:26
Speaker 2: understandably so.
24:28
Speaker 1: In fact, the Secretary.
24:29
Speaker 2: Made it perfectly clear that if Iran refuses to cooperate,
24:33
Speaker 2: which is possible, the president has other options on the table,
24:37
Speaker 2: and the US is already drawing up a Plan B
24:40
Speaker 2: so to speak with international allies.
24:44
Speaker 1: But there's other.
24:44
Speaker 2: Sticking points, including this one in the negotiations. Tran's proposal
24:48
Speaker 2: to impose tolls on ships passing through that critical maritime
24:52
Speaker 2: choke point, the Strait of horn Moves, where you have
24:56
Speaker 2: the flow of twenty percent of the world's oil, a
24:58
Speaker 2: strategic waterway of co is still ongoing and Rubio has
25:02
Speaker 2: not missed words about the Strait of Horror Moves or
25:05
Speaker 2: our demands for what happens with it, calling the move
25:07
Speaker 2: entirely illegal regarding those tolls, and of course a threat
25:11
Speaker 2: to global commerce and shipping.
25:14
Speaker 12: I don't know of anyone in the world that should
25:16
Speaker 12: be in favor of a tolling system in an international waterway.
25:19
Speaker 12: That's just not acceptable.
25:21
Speaker 6: It can't happen.
25:22
Speaker 12: If that were to happen in the Straits of hor Moves,
25:23
Speaker 12: that will happen in five other places around the world.
25:25
Speaker 12: Why would countries all over the world say, well, we
25:27
Speaker 12: want to do this too, Not to mention how vital
25:30
Speaker 12: and critical that strait is to every country represented here today,
25:33
Speaker 12: but frankly to countries not represented here today, particularly the
25:37
Speaker 12: end of Pacific.
25:38
Speaker 1: And he's tried it is critical.
25:40
Speaker 2: But this proposed toll system is not just a future hypothetical, folks,
25:44
Speaker 2: not at all. In fact, Bloomberg reports that Iran is
25:47
Speaker 2: already in act discussions with Oman to formalize a permanent
25:53
Speaker 2: fees for passage system aimed at solidifying Iran's long term
25:57
Speaker 2: control over maritime traffic post conflict. The move, naturally understandably,
26:04
Speaker 2: has infuriated Gulf neighbors and even prompted a stern reaction
26:08
Speaker 2: from Washington. Why wouldn't it right? President Trump, on that note,
26:13
Speaker 2: downplayed any chance of accepting the surge and shipping costs,
26:17
Speaker 2: insisting boldly that the Strait is an international waterway and
26:21
Speaker 2: that trafficked through it must remain free. Now, high stakes
26:26
Speaker 2: diplomatic talks continue behind closed doors, but on the water
26:28
Speaker 2: on the surface, the US military is maintaining maximum pressure.
26:33
Speaker 2: The war itself has reached a defining moment, a highly
26:37
Speaker 2: complex turning point, one where American readiness is being put
26:40
Speaker 2: to the test as Iran's options shrink. US Central Commander
26:45
Speaker 2: Admiral Brad Cooper says, Washington is negotiating from a position
26:49
Speaker 2: of absolute strength.
26:51
Speaker 1: Noting that months and months and months.
26:54
Speaker 2: Of conflict have severely crippled Iran's ability to fight back.
26:59
Speaker 13: The situation in front of US is complex, high stakes
27:02
Speaker 13: negotiations continue.
27:04
Speaker 6: Our job is to be ready, and we are.
27:06
Speaker 13: Operation Epic Fury significantly degraded Iran's ballistic missiles and drones
27:11
Speaker 13: while destroying ninety percent of their defense industrial base, ensuring
27:14
Speaker 13: that Iran cannot reconstitute for years. And then finally, Iran
27:19
Speaker 13: spent decades and billions of dollars arming proxies. Today Hamas,
27:24
Speaker 13: Hezbola and the Huthis are cut off from Iran's weapons
27:27
Speaker 13: supply and support.
27:29
Speaker 3: Set a different way.
27:31
Speaker 13: American military action derailed Iran's strategy that was forty seven
27:36
Speaker 13: years in the making.
27:38
Speaker 2: There it is, folks, loud and clear, in front of
27:40
Speaker 2: the whole world and enjoining me now to discuss. Ali
27:43
Speaker 2: Reza Jafarzada, Deputy Director of the National Council of Resistance
27:47
Speaker 2: of Iran. Ali Reza, let me ask you this. It's
27:50
Speaker 2: the million dollar question in the room, the answer to
27:53
Speaker 2: which everyone wants. What the heck is can happen here
27:57
Speaker 2: ongoing negotiations, but there's a week's long Pakistani mediated ceasefire
28:04
Speaker 2: barely holding on, holding on by a thread, and the
28:07
Speaker 2: possibility of future US military action.
28:11
Speaker 1: Where do you see things going?
28:14
Speaker 14: Well, it's any about this, guest Riley, great to be
28:17
Speaker 14: on your show. First of all, the Molas have been
28:20
Speaker 14: here before, many rounds of negotiations over the past to
28:25
Speaker 14: three decades. However, this time everything is very different. First
28:30
Speaker 14: of all, you have a regime that is highly vulnerable,
28:33
Speaker 14: extremely weak, not simply because of the military blows that
28:38
Speaker 14: they have received as you just discuss it, but also
28:43
Speaker 14: their internal situation. The equation related to Iran is not
28:48
Speaker 14: only limited to the foreign forces versus the Iran regimes forces.
28:54
Speaker 14: You have a very important factor that has been in
28:57
Speaker 14: play since decades ago, particularly in the past few months,
29:02
Speaker 14: and that's the people of Iran.
29:04
Speaker 3: Remember, just before.
29:07
Speaker 14: The war started, we had a major uprising in Iran
29:10
Speaker 14: in all thirty one provinces where you know, people were
29:15
Speaker 14: engulfed in revolting against the regime, wanting to end the
29:19
Speaker 14: rule of the clerics, and the regime had to kill
29:22
Speaker 14: thousands and thousands.
29:24
Speaker 3: Just to stay in power.
29:26
Speaker 14: So this is a regime that even even though it boasts,
29:31
Speaker 14: you know that it's about its power, it projects you know, dominance,
29:36
Speaker 14: but in reality it's extremely vulnerable. They're so afraid of
29:40
Speaker 14: the consequences of the uh.
29:43
Speaker 3: The what's going to come next.
29:45
Speaker 14: That's why they're involved in the negotiations, but they're not
29:49
Speaker 14: planning to abide by, you know, basically backing down or
29:54
Speaker 14: giving concessions. That's why you see they're they're playing games,
29:58
Speaker 14: they're dragging the issue. The more time they can buy
30:02
Speaker 14: they can, the more delay it will be to the
30:05
Speaker 14: consequences of that.
30:06
Speaker 3: Then.
30:06
Speaker 14: Plus, when you have these circumstances, everything internally is.
30:11
Speaker 3: Also on freeze.
30:12
Speaker 14: So the ideal situation for them is to just simply
30:16
Speaker 14: drag the situation. That's why I think the outside will
30:20
Speaker 14: need to understand that this is not a regime that
30:23
Speaker 14: is powerful. Rather, this is a regime that is extremely
30:26
Speaker 14: weak and vulnerable. And that's how you bring that into
30:30
Speaker 14: your equations.
30:31
Speaker 2: Well, I think Olie Raza, when a regime resorts to
30:34
Speaker 2: that kind of violence to subdue its own people, its
30:38
Speaker 2: own opposition internally, that is a sign of weakness. The
30:42
Speaker 2: cracks are starting to form and they are visible but
30:44
Speaker 2: I think another important question logistically is for how much
30:48
Speaker 2: longer can the Iranian regime even play these games. I mean,
30:53
Speaker 2: so many warships destroyed, ballistic airfields and ballistic missile capability
30:57
Speaker 2: is done. We've hit their nuclear sites, including a major
31:00
Speaker 2: in the tons, So how much longer can they keep
31:03
Speaker 2: playing games before one of two things happen. A deal
31:07
Speaker 2: is finalized and it's a serious one, it's one we
31:09
Speaker 2: can trust and one that the president appreciates, or we
31:13
Speaker 2: see more military strikes. And if that happens, what happens next?
31:19
Speaker 14: Well, you know, the regime is hoping that the war
31:23
Speaker 14: is not going to resume, but at the same time,
31:26
Speaker 14: they don't want to give concessions, meaning backing down on
31:29
Speaker 14: their nuclear weapons program, which by the way, they spend
31:33
Speaker 14: some two trillion dollars of.
31:35
Speaker 3: The resources of the nation.
31:37
Speaker 14: That's why they're turning insight because the main concern they
31:42
Speaker 14: have is the revival of the uprisings in Iran. They've
31:47
Speaker 14: started executing political prisoners since late March.
31:53
Speaker 3: Of this year.
31:54
Speaker 14: They started with executing eight members of the emy K,
31:58
Speaker 14: which is the same movement that exposed all the major
32:00
Speaker 14: nuclear sites and the same movement that has been behind
32:03
Speaker 14: the uprisings and is the main victim of the Iranic regime,
32:07
Speaker 14: but also has a very organized network inside the country.
32:11
Speaker 14: Then they went after the younger generation, who were pursuing
32:14
Speaker 14: the same strategy as the emmy k as young as
32:19
Speaker 14: like eighteen nineteen years old, because they were confronting the
32:24
Speaker 14: evolutionary guards. They were trying to disarm their elution of
32:26
Speaker 14: guards during the January uprising.
32:29
Speaker 3: That's where the focus of the Irano regime is.
32:31
Speaker 14: And I think if you just you know, by just
32:35
Speaker 14: looking at the behavior of the Irano regime, you can
32:38
Speaker 14: see the Achilles Hill of this regime because the regime
32:42
Speaker 14: can sustain further attacks maybe or other pressure, but the
32:47
Speaker 14: one thing that.
32:47
Speaker 3: They're extremely worried about is internal.
32:50
Speaker 14: That's why they're resorting to trying to eliminate their internal
32:55
Speaker 14: opposition or frighten the population.
32:58
Speaker 3: None of that has worked so.
32:59
Speaker 2: Far well, Oli Roselt, like, you know, I'm sure Iran
33:02
Speaker 2: is a massive country. You're talking about ten of millions
33:06
Speaker 2: of people. You can only keep them subjugated as subjects.
33:10
Speaker 1: For so long.
33:11
Speaker 2: So it sounds like what you're sort of saying here,
33:14
Speaker 2: in other words, is that it's only a matter of
33:16
Speaker 2: time until this regime falls.
33:19
Speaker 1: So final question, let's.
33:21
Speaker 2: Say it does, either as a result of what's going
33:23
Speaker 2: on with the US or its own people, or some
33:26
Speaker 2: kind of combination. What happens next. Do you think there's
33:30
Speaker 2: a pathway to a free and non nuclear Iran.
33:35
Speaker 14: Absolutely, there is a pathway, which is the imminent pathway,
33:40
Speaker 14: because first of all, it was this movement, the MEK
33:45
Speaker 14: which is part of the larger coalition of the National
33:48
Speaker 14: Council of Resistance of Iran headed by a woman, missus
33:52
Speaker 14: Madiam Bradjevi, that exposed all the major nuclear sites of Iran,
33:56
Speaker 14: the uranium and Richmond facility in Natans, the heavy water
33:58
Speaker 14: facility in our in August of two thousand and two,
34:01
Speaker 14: and then the poor though underground facility, the.
34:04
Speaker 3: Whole host of others.
34:06
Speaker 14: Over one hundred and thirty sites and projects of the
34:10
Speaker 14: run regime related to their nuclear and missile program were
34:13
Speaker 14: exposed by this movement. This is the movement that has
34:16
Speaker 14: a network inside Iran known as the Resistance Units.
34:20
Speaker 3: Five days before the start of.
34:22
Speaker 14: The war, they launched a massive attack on the headquarters
34:26
Speaker 14: of then Supreme leader Ali Khamunity in the heart of Tehran,
34:30
Speaker 14: with two hundred and fifty of their members, clearly showing
34:34
Speaker 14: the intent and the capability of the movement, but also
34:38
Speaker 14: showing the Rnian people and the rest of the world
34:40
Speaker 14: that even though the regime massacred thousands and thousands p
34:44
Speaker 14: of people in January, the movement is alive, is.
34:48
Speaker 3: On the offensive.
34:50
Speaker 14: But it's not just inside i Ran, but also outside
34:53
Speaker 14: of Iran. Just last week, we had a major rally
34:56
Speaker 14: here in Washington, DC the supporters of Missus Rajat thousands
35:00
Speaker 14: of m gathered in front of the Capitol, calling for
35:04
Speaker 14: the end to the execution of political prisoners, but also
35:07
Speaker 14: calling for change in Iran. Even a bigger one is
35:11
Speaker 14: planned for next month, June twentieth. It's a Saturday that
35:15
Speaker 14: as many as one hundred thousand people are expected to
35:18
Speaker 14: gather in Paris to show support for Missus Rajavi and
35:23
Speaker 14: her ten point platform for the future of Iran. You
35:26
Speaker 14: asked about what's going to happen. Well, she announced a
35:29
Speaker 14: provisional government that would rule Iran for nola later than
35:33
Speaker 14: six months and set up for free and federal elections
35:36
Speaker 14: that would lead to a national and CONSTITUENTI simpany and
35:39
Speaker 14: a representative government that's the future.
35:42
Speaker 1: Thank you, Ellie Rasa.
35:43
Speaker 2: I appreciate that all of that insight, great information for
35:45
Speaker 2: the audience, great information for me in the world. Thank
35:48
Speaker 2: you for your time, Thank you all.
35:50
Speaker 3: It is a pleasure.
35:52
Speaker 2: Up next, it's round two of the Alien Files. A
35:56
Speaker 2: second batch of UFO files was released just today and
36:00
Speaker 2: it's intriguing, to say the least. We'll break it all
36:03
Speaker 2: down and why it matters when we come back.
36:12

37:03
Speaker 7: For some reason, and I guess it's just a reason,
37:07
Speaker 7: it's been in the minds of people for a long time.
37:10
Speaker 2: That was President Trump just weeks ago, promising to pull
37:14
Speaker 2: back the curtain on the government's best kept secrets, and
37:18
Speaker 2: today the Pentagon is delivering promises made and promises kept
37:22
Speaker 2: once again. The Department of War has just launched a
37:25
Speaker 2: dedicated website dropping a massive second tranch of formally classified
37:31
Speaker 2: UFO files. Folks were talking hundreds of pages of documents,
37:36
Speaker 2: audio files, even newly released videos. Among the wilder details,
37:42
Speaker 2: so to speak, historical reports of mysterious green orbs I'm
37:46
Speaker 2: not making this up, by the way, and even flying
37:48
Speaker 2: discs maneuvering near a top secret New Mexico military base
37:53
Speaker 2: in the nineteen forties, and a newly released twenty twenty
37:57
Speaker 2: five eyewitness account from a senior Intel eligence officer who
38:01
Speaker 2: described being left speechless by a swarm of glowing orange spheres.
38:07
Speaker 2: Secretary of warpete HEXF stated the administration is in lockstep
38:12
Speaker 2: on transparency, saying it's time for Americans, all Americans, to
38:16
Speaker 2: see these unresolved cases and to make up their own
38:19
Speaker 2: minds about alien life. This is a phenomenon that baffled
38:24
Speaker 2: NASA scientists in nineteen sixty nine is resurfacing. The crew
38:28
Speaker 2: of Apollo twelve reported seeing strange, unexplained flashes piercing the
38:34
Speaker 2: darkness of their cabin. In fact, here's an excerpt from
38:37
Speaker 2: that briefing, recorded nearly six decades ago.
38:41
Speaker 7: Listen, he exactly at all three, you know, life as
38:46
Speaker 7: a flat out there.
38:47
Speaker 15: Or some under via tree, and I thought, I'm in
38:52
Speaker 15: bold by idi or and I can't remember, or as
38:56
Speaker 15: one more phenomenat or the other.
38:58
Speaker 7: But I agree if you're not seeing a bold, but
39:02
Speaker 7: it's not something external.
39:03
Speaker 4: Either, something interm inside your.
39:06
Speaker 3: Guard thought.
39:09
Speaker 2: Interesting stuff and joining the program now to discuss it
39:11
Speaker 2: is Alan the Doo best selling author, bishop and the
39:14
Speaker 2: founder of Revival Nation Church.
39:17
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this.
39:18
Speaker 2: I am so pro this transparency in this release. I'm
39:23
Speaker 2: very bullish about it. I hope we get more files, videos, pictures,
39:28
Speaker 2: what have you. But now that we have round one
39:31
Speaker 2: and round two in the books, having gone through those records,
39:35
Speaker 2: what do you make of it?
39:36
Speaker 1: Alan?
39:37
Speaker 6: It's interesting.
39:38
Speaker 16: I know we all love the videos and the pictures,
39:39
Speaker 16: but a lot of the written testimony that we're seeing.
39:42
Speaker 16: You mentioned one of them from a senior intelligence official
39:45
Speaker 16: with two pilots, both of them witnessing this UAP, this phenomenon,
39:49
Speaker 16: these orbs surrounding their helicopter.
39:52
Speaker 6: This is the most fascinating thing. This is not a
39:54
Speaker 6: nothing burger.
39:54
Speaker 16: I believe Representative Burlison said the first drop of files
39:58
Speaker 16: was historic.
39:59
Speaker 6: Yes, and this is no different.
40:00
Speaker 16: I'm hearing that the next few drops we may even
40:02
Speaker 16: hear signs of biologics that we may have. One of
40:06
Speaker 16: the most interesting things that were reported in this recent
40:08
Speaker 16: drop is that we know the US government has shot
40:11
Speaker 16: down at least one of.
40:12
Speaker 6: These UFOs and UAP, So the question is what.
40:14
Speaker 16: Did they do with the material that they recovered after
40:18
Speaker 16: they shot it down.
40:19
Speaker 2: It's also so fascinating to me because people who've spoken
40:22
Speaker 2: out about these kind of things in the past, notably
40:25
Speaker 2: Bob Lazarre, huge fan of him. His story hasn't changed
40:28
Speaker 2: in twenty years, and he basically got blackballed for speaking up.
40:34
Speaker 2: Let me ask you this because the first trunch comes
40:37
Speaker 2: out and we see reports saying faith leaders being briefed
40:41
Speaker 2: about what's going on to warn their congregations, possibly about
40:48
Speaker 2: how this news might change our worldview or maybe our
40:51
Speaker 2: understanding of the human story. So I wanted to bring
40:54
Speaker 2: you on to specifically talk about that angle. Let's talk
40:57
Speaker 2: about the sort of biblical angle and the sort of
40:59
Speaker 2: spiritual side of the idea of the existence of other
41:03
Speaker 2: intelligent maybe even sentient life in our universe or beyond.
41:08
Speaker 16: Yeah, well, there's certainly nothing biblical that is anti that idea.
41:12
Speaker 16: One of the biggest mistakes we've made in Western culture
41:14
Speaker 16: is attending to divide spiritual things from natural things. And
41:17
Speaker 16: so even with this phenomenon, people are asking, well, is
41:20
Speaker 16: it spiritual meaning is it biblical or religious? Or is
41:23
Speaker 16: it practical? Is it natural? Is it real? The reality
41:26
Speaker 16: is those two things aren't separate, those aren't different. Spiritual
41:29
Speaker 16: things are real, and the Bible has told us what
41:32
Speaker 16: these things are, what they potentially could be. There's an
41:34
Speaker 16: interesting narrative in scripture all the way from Genesis through Revelation,
41:37
Speaker 16: which is why these operators that we had a meeting with,
41:41
Speaker 16: these weren't government officials. These are people who have worked
41:43
Speaker 16: within the government, who have extensive experience in the government.
41:46
Speaker 16: But they saw that these drops were coming and they
41:49
Speaker 16: wanted to make sure that people of faith wouldn't be
41:51
Speaker 16: caught unawares, and that when this happens, we would direct
41:54
Speaker 16: people back to the Bible, because the Bible has a
41:56
Speaker 16: far more interesting narrative than what we've been taught in
41:59
Speaker 16: Sunday school time we get back to it.
42:01
Speaker 2: Oh that's amazing. Okay, So final question to put a
42:05
Speaker 2: bow on things. And just for the record, Alan, nothing
42:09
Speaker 2: will ever shake my faith in the Heavenly Father. But
42:14
Speaker 2: having said that, you're right, there is a weird call
42:18
Speaker 2: it a contradiction or something in society. I don't know
42:21
Speaker 2: where it comes from or why that is the case.
42:24
Speaker 2: Could you walk us through how we even got here
42:26
Speaker 2: and where that narrative came from because this whole world,
42:30
Speaker 2: people who've spoken out about it, they've been demonized and
42:32
Speaker 2: criticized widely, and I genuinely I don't understand it.
42:36
Speaker 16: It seems like there's an agenda to separate people from
42:39
Speaker 16: their faith because the people who are separated from their
42:41
Speaker 16: faith are easy to rule, manipulate, and control. And so
42:44
Speaker 16: when we look at the narrative, it seems that even
42:46
Speaker 16: atheists are saying that maybe Pan sperming it, maybe aliens
42:50
Speaker 16: seeded life on this planet, anything to separate us from
42:52
Speaker 16: the fact that we have.
42:53
Speaker 6: A creator who gave us an ailable rights.
42:55
Speaker 16: And I think that's the reason why a lot of
42:57
Speaker 16: the deception people are trying to get a hold of
42:59
Speaker 16: the name narrative, and that's why we've got us cling
43:01
Speaker 16: very closely to our faith as we're moving forward, and
43:03
Speaker 16: as we look at these drops, there's three things that
43:06
Speaker 16: we know. There are three kinds of people, those who
43:08
Speaker 16: are afraid, those who don't know enough to be afraid,
43:11
Speaker 16: and those who know their Bible.
43:12
Speaker 6: So we're encouraging people to get back to the Bible.
43:15
Speaker 2: Thank you for saying it like that, that is truly perfect.
43:19
Speaker 2: Couldn't have said it any better myself. Alan, Thank you
43:22
Speaker 2: for what you're doing for this country, and thank you
43:24
Speaker 2: for your time on the show today.
43:26
Speaker 1: Thank you.
43:28
Speaker 2: Coming right up on Real America folks. Memorial Day is
43:31
Speaker 2: on Monday, and Michael Carmichael, veteran and founder of the
43:35
Speaker 2: organization Check Event, is joining us to help us honor
43:39
Speaker 2: America's fallen heroes, the men and women who've donned the
43:42
Speaker 2: uniform and laid down their lives to protect us. We'll
43:45
Speaker 2: also talk about what we can all do to support
43:47
Speaker 2: gold Star families and of course America's veteran community.
43:51
Speaker 1: Don't go anywhere, We'll be right back.
43:59
Speaker 7: For all of our viewers out there asking where to
44:01
Speaker 7: watch One America News, we'd like to introduce.
44:03
Speaker 5: You to on Live. On Live is.
44:05
Speaker 7: The best way to stay up to date on the
44:07
Speaker 7: hardest hitting news and our talk shows. And the best
44:10
Speaker 7: part is on Live is only four ninety nine per
44:12
Speaker 7: month incredible, honest and unbiased reporting at.
44:16
Speaker 5: A fraction of the cost of cable.
44:18
Speaker 7: So just click on the link at the top of
44:20
Speaker 7: our homepage oann dot com to easily sign up for
44:23
Speaker 7: the news and conservative talk you can't get anywhere else.
44:49
Speaker 1: Welcome back, folks to real America.
44:51
Speaker 2: It's a haunting melody I can bring across the nation
44:53
Speaker 2: this weekend. A reminder, a solemn reminder that the true
44:57
Speaker 2: cost of our freedom here at our liberty, our independence
45:01
Speaker 2: is etched into the headstones of our fallen heroes. From
45:06
Speaker 2: Arlington to local communities all over the country. Solemn tributes
45:11
Speaker 2: are actively underway. In Virginia, for example, the Commonwealth is
45:15
Speaker 2: preparing for its seventieth annual Memorial Day ceremony at the
45:19
Speaker 2: War Memorial, honoring nearly twelve thousand Virginia heroes, while also
45:24
Speaker 2: dedicating a chapel in Amelia to a local Pearl Harbor
45:28
Speaker 2: Saler finally laid to rest then go over to New York.
45:33
Speaker 2: The National Guard paused at its Fallen Soldier Memorial in Latham,
45:37
Speaker 2: placing a wreath and reading the names of comrades lost
45:40
Speaker 2: over the past year alone. Then in the state of Maryland,
45:44
Speaker 2: gold Star families are gathering at Delaney Valley Memorial Gardens,
45:48
Speaker 2: marking twenty years since Army staff Sergeant Christopher Madry was
45:52
Speaker 2: tragically killed in action, as we honor the fallen on
45:57
Speaker 2: this Memorial Day weekend, which is really what it's about.
45:59
Speaker 2: It's it's not about a long weekend. It's not about
46:02
Speaker 2: going to the beach or the pool. It's not about
46:04
Speaker 2: hot dogs and barbecues. It's about the fallen. It's about
46:07
Speaker 2: their service and their sacrifice, and as we honor them.
46:10
Speaker 2: The war carried home by our living veterans is spurring
46:13
Speaker 2: nationwide action to combat the epidemic, a crisis some say
46:19
Speaker 2: a veterans' suicide, and wyoming veterans are stripping down to
46:22
Speaker 2: their shorts for the Casper Silky's Hike, an urban adventure
46:26
Speaker 2: designed to use camaraderie and irreverent humor to heal the
46:30
Speaker 2: traumas of war. Then in the state of Kentucky as well,
46:34
Speaker 2: Fort Wright City Hall has transformed It's lung into a
46:37
Speaker 2: solemn field of flags. Each of the six hundred and
46:40
Speaker 2: sixty American flags on display represents an estimated daily suicide
46:44
Speaker 2: attempt by a veteran facing unseen battles on the inside,
46:49
Speaker 2: in their own lives and down the road in the
46:52
Speaker 2: city of Lexington, the roar of engines will fill the
46:55
Speaker 2: air as the Multi State Riding twenty two in twenty
46:58
Speaker 2: two motorcycle ride rolls into town, raising vital funds critical
47:03
Speaker 2: funds for lodging and treatment programs for vets who are
47:06
Speaker 2: continuing to fight even after their own detachment. Joining me
47:11
Speaker 2: now is Michael Carmichael, retired Special Forces veteran who served
47:15
Speaker 2: for twenty six years. He's also the CEO, president and
47:18
Speaker 2: founder of the organization check EVT. Michael, thank you for
47:22
Speaker 2: your time today. Here's where I'd like to start with
47:24
Speaker 2: you the real reason for Memorial Day and why we
47:29
Speaker 2: have this day and what it really means, especially for
47:32
Speaker 2: people who have served like yourself.
47:37
Speaker 15: Yeah, Riley, thank you for having me on again this weekend.
47:41
Speaker 15: You guys are my hero and oam real America. This
47:45
Speaker 15: week it needs to be about remembering not only was
47:47
Speaker 15: Weig lost combat, that number since nine to eleven is
47:52
Speaker 15: just no, over seven thousand. Let's also remember those big
47:56
Speaker 15: loss to their internal struggles since nine to eleven, that
48:00
Speaker 15: number is over three hundred and fifty thousands. That's right, Riley,
48:05
Speaker 15: each combat loss, we've lost fifty to suicide. So as
48:11
Speaker 15: we remember the fallen, don't forget to remember the fallen
48:15
Speaker 15: to suicide.
48:17
Speaker 1: You know, it races a point.
48:20
Speaker 2: So many civilians take that service and that sacrifice for granted.
48:24
Speaker 2: And when when veterans come home from from combat, from
48:27
Speaker 2: being overseas, if that's what they're stationed, people forget about it.
48:31
Speaker 2: They pretend that veterans can just reintegrate. They assume that
48:34
Speaker 2: because the combat overseas is over, there's no more battling
48:38
Speaker 2: going on. What can we be doing as civilians, as
48:41
Speaker 2: Americans to better support those veterans once they come back home.
48:48
Speaker 15: The most important thing is meaningful and routine connection. If
48:53
Speaker 15: that peasuring isn't in your life, then you're not going
48:55
Speaker 15: to know if that veteran is struggling. But let's not
48:58
Speaker 15: be confused, and it's not just combat veterans. Actually, if
49:03
Speaker 15: we look at the data, Riley, not combat veterans are
49:06
Speaker 15: slightly higher at risk of suicide than combat vetteries really,
49:10
Speaker 15: so let's with his regard combat dot combat. All veterans
49:16
Speaker 15: are our heroes. We owe everything to our veterans without
49:20
Speaker 15: veterans America.
49:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, agreed, and that brings us to many organizations in
49:26
Speaker 2: this country who are who are serving the veteran community,
49:29
Speaker 2: including yours. I want to take a couple of moments
49:31
Speaker 2: to highlight what you're doing, what you're doing this weekend,
49:35
Speaker 2: and where people can learn more about your your organization
49:38
Speaker 2: and how they can get involved and support you.
49:41
Speaker 15: Thank you so much so. NASCAR has had us at
49:44
Speaker 15: the Coca Cola six hundred now for four straight years. Wow,
49:48
Speaker 15: we must be doing something right to get invited back.
49:52
Speaker 3: One.
49:52
Speaker 6: What are we doing here?
49:54
Speaker 15: We're trying to raise awareness to the problem, get people
49:57
Speaker 15: involved in their veterans' lives, but both most importantly, we
50:01
Speaker 15: have to educate the base of support around our veterans. Yes,
50:05
Speaker 15: we stand here in this booth and listen to people
50:08
Speaker 15: tragic stories about how they lost their veterans inside Riley,
50:12
Speaker 15: I'm thinking, man, I really wish you had spent five
50:15
Speaker 15: or ten minutes learning about what the warning signs of
50:19
Speaker 15: suicide look like, especially in veterans, because those are unique.
50:24
Speaker 15: From there, you can actually develop strategies and we even
50:27
Speaker 15: have a suicide safety plan right on our website. We
50:30
Speaker 15: can all do our part to keep the veterans in
50:33
Speaker 15: our lives safe, but it's up to us to actually
50:36
Speaker 15: do something.
50:37
Speaker 5: Wow.
50:38
Speaker 2: Can I ask you so one last question for you, Michael.
50:41
Speaker 2: That plan you're talking about the safety plan for people
50:44
Speaker 2: out there in the world. If they do think they're
50:47
Speaker 2: seeing some kind of sign that you're talking about, tell
50:50
Speaker 2: us more about that plan and what people should do.
50:52
Speaker 2: What's step one when you notice those signs?
50:56
Speaker 15: So step one is you can go to the website
50:59
Speaker 15: and learn what to do. But this suicide safety plan
51:02
Speaker 15: is for something with people who are struggling. It's actually
51:05
Speaker 15: called the Stanley Suicide Safety Plan and it's through the VA,
51:08
Speaker 15: but people don't know about it. So it's a step
51:11
Speaker 15: by step program with people with struggles so that you
51:15
Speaker 15: could put the net in place to keep them safe.
51:19
Speaker 15: Everything's in there. Go to our website, check avent dot
51:22
Speaker 15: org and get that's one of many tools that we
51:26
Speaker 15: have for you to help your vetter.
51:28
Speaker 1: Fantastic, Michael.
51:30
Speaker 2: Can I just say, truly from the bottom of my heart,
51:32
Speaker 2: thank you for your service to this country, not just
51:35
Speaker 2: in uniform, but what you're doing right now on the
51:38
Speaker 2: ground to support families and vets all over America.
51:42
Speaker 15: Hey, Riley, it's you and America that we all sign up.
51:45
Speaker 15: So I appreciate your thanks and appreciation for my service.
51:50
Speaker 15: But none of us would have done it without America
51:52
Speaker 15: and the willingness to step forward and.
51:55
Speaker 10: Do what's right.
51:56
Speaker 2: Well said, Amen, Thank you, Michael, thank you sir. Well, folks,
