  Speaker 1: He did it on Friday. The president of the United
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: States revoked the White House press credentials of three fake
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: news organizations, CNN, Politico, and MSNOW, the network that used
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: to be known as MSNBC. And the reaction from the
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: media class, well, you know how it was, hysterical. It's
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: an assault on democracy, the death of the free press, authoritarianism, fascism.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: So let's put these three organizations on trial for a second.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Let's look at the actual record, the reason a president
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: of the United States finally said enough. Let's start with
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: good old CNN. Because the feud is as old as
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: the presidency itself. Nine years ago, at his first press conference,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: his president-elect, the CNN reporter, remember good old Jim Acosta,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: began shouting over the room to demand a question. And
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: the president pointed to him and said the words that
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: would define a decade. She's asking a question.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Don't be rude.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: Mr.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: President-elect, can you give us a question?
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: Don't be rude.
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: You're attacking us.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Can you give us a question?
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Don't be rude. I'm not going to give you a question.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to give you a question.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Can you stay categorical?
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: You are fake news.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: You are fake news. This wasn't an insult that just
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: came out of nowhere, right? The night before CNN, remember,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: you have to go back in the way back machine
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: of your memory to remember how hostile this press was
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: to President Trump. The night before CNN, they ran an
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: unverified dossier A document we now know was total political BS.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: And they used it to tell the country. Their new
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: president was a Russian asset. Remember? We, too, were Russian assets, apparently.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Conduits of disinformation. That's what the fake news was peddling.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: That was the beginning. AND IT NEVER STOPPED. CNN'S, THEIR
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: NEW WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT, REMEMBER CAITLIN COLLINS? A LOT OF
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: PEOPLE CONFUSED WITH SCOTT PRESLER. THE PATTERN IS IDENTICAL. This
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: past spring in the Oval Office, when she pressed the
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: president on the wars overseas, he told her flatly, you
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: wouldn't know that by reading the fake news. When she
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: badgered him over a deported gang suspect, he said, that's
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: why no one watches you anymore. You have no credibility.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: And just two weeks ago, he put it in writing,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: calling her a, quote, very dumb and unhappy fake news
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: reporter whose on-air panel was, in his words, all fiction
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: and lies.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: FICTION AND LIES.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: HE'S NOT WRONG. AND IT'S NOT JUST BECAUSE HE DOESN'T
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: LIKE THE QUESTIONS OR THE TONE OF THE QUESTIONS. THEY
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: TAKE THESE QUESTIONS AND THEY MAKE THEM ACCUSATIONS WITH A
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: QUESTION MARK ON THE END. ENGINEERED TO BATE THE PRESIDENT
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: AND MANUFACTURE THE NEXT THREE DAYS OF DAMAGING COVERAGE AND HEADLINES.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: IT IS THAT'S WHAT THESE OUTLETS PUT ON AIR. Over
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: and over again. Fake news. It's false. We see it
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: all the time. Now, all three told you Donald Trump
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: colluded with Russia to steal an election. Robert Mueller spent
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: two years on it and found no conspiracy. All three
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: told you the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation. CNN, MSNBC, Politico,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: all of them. The letter from 51 former spies swearing
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: to it. Remember all this? The laptop. Well, it was real.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: And the Washington Post and the New York Times, they
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: both proved it. They called a Trump rally, remember this,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: in 2024? They called the Trump rally a Nazi rally,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: the one at Madison Square Garden. And who could forget
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: CNN when they categorized the Kenosha protests, remember this, as fiery,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: but mostly peaceful. Literally, with Kenosha burning on the screen
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: in the background. That's the record, a decade of it.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: So when the president calls them fake news, he's not
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: name-calling or bullying them or suppressing the First Amendment. He's
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: just stating the facts. So on Friday, he did something
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: about it. And here's what's happened since, because it's moved fast.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: On Saturday, when reporters for the three outlets showed up
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: at the White House, the Secret Service, well, they confiscated
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: their hard passes, shut them off right there at the gate.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: And the media covered that moment like the tanks have
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: rolled into the briefing room, reporters filming other reporters being
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: told they would have to stand outside the fence. National strategy, right?
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: We had heard President Trump earlier this week say that
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: he was going to ban CNN, MSNOW, and Politico from
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: White House grounds. The president clearly following up on that promise.
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: But one thing that I had reported— was that sources
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: at the White House were unaware that this was happening.
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: They were not given a heads-up ahead of the president's post,
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: and that included people in the White House press shop.
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: So it took some time for the logistics of how
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: exactly this would be enforced, how it would work, to
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: actually get through. And that is why this morning we
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: were no longer able to access White House grounds.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: I can't help but smile when I watch that this morning.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: The three outlets sued the president in federal court and
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: demanded an emergency order to force their way back in.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: A hearing could come within days. The White House's position
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: is simple. The president's workspace is his to grant access to.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: He's not obligated to hand it to organizations that lie
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: about him for a living. The outlets say it violates
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: their First Amendment. But look, a privilege you abuse is
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: a privilege you can lose. Of course, then the tantrum today,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: the biggest Television networks in America, ABC, CBS, NBC, and
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: even Fox News announced they are suspending their pooled coverage
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: of the president. The pool is that rotating camera crew
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: that travels with the president and captures him. FOR THE
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: ENTIRE COUNTRY. CNN HAPPENED TO BE RUNNING IT TODAY, OR
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: SUPPOSED TO BE RUNNING IT TODAY. SO RATHER THAN LET
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: THOSE DUTIES ROTATE TO SOMEBODY ELSE, THE NETWORKS JUST LOCKED
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: ARMS AND SAID, FINE, THEN NOBODY FILMS HIM. THEY'D RATHER
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: DENY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE FOOTAGE OF THEIR PRESIDENT THAN ALLOW
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: HIM NEAR A CAMERA. AND YOU KNOW WHAT? WHATEVER. THAT'S
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: HOLDING YOUR ACCESS HOSTAGE TO WIN A POLITICAL FIGHT. AND
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: ALL THE NETWORKS COLLUDED IN THAT. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF HUNGRY,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: TALENTED JOURNALISTS IN THIS COUNTRY. who would give anything to
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: cover this president. Cover him honestly, too. Maybe it's time
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: we let them. Let's break it all down. I'm excited
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: to bring in a journalist, a friend, creator for the
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Media Research Center, Justine Brooke Murray. Welcome back, David Pollak, primetime.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, the media's in a full-temper tantrum. How dare
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: President Trump keep them from making propaganda for the people?
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: What do you make of this story?
• 7:10
  Speaker 6: Yeah, thanks for having me as always. I guess it
• 7:12
  Speaker 6: turns out that the jihad the leftist media waged on
• 7:16
  Speaker 6: free speech is biting them in the back because they
• 7:19
  Speaker 6: created censorship. They coined the terms misinformation and disinformation also.
• 7:25
  Speaker 7: Hate speech in.
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: Order to call for the deplatforming of outlets like Fox.
• 7:31
  Speaker 6: I remember when Brian Stelter went on CNN and suggested
• 7:34
  Speaker 6: that Fox should be banned from the White House. CNN
• 7:37
  Speaker 6: also said that OAN should be banned from the White House.
• 7:40
  Speaker 6: And not just that, that they should be completely deplatformed,
• 7:44
  Speaker 6: that cable companies.
• 7:45
  Speaker 7: Should be forced to take them off the air.
• 7:47
  Speaker 6: I remember this was happening when I was still a
• 7:49
  Speaker 6: producer at OAN, so they wanted conservative journalists out of
• 7:54
  Speaker 6: their jobs. And now they can't stand the heat, their
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: sudden free speech absolutists overnight, but just for their own
• 8:02
  Speaker 6: rhetoric when they cheered on Biden putting people on watch
• 8:05
  Speaker 6: lists during COVID.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: I'm so glad you brought that up because that is
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: exactly right. They labeled this network conduits of Russian disinformation.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: This network, our parent company, one of the anchors here,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: the nighttime host, you know, Rian, all of them were assets, basically,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: conduits of Russian disinformation. Project Round River started because of
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: us because we went with Rudy Giuliani to Russia to
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: find that laptop that they say didn't exist that exists.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: And you're exactly right. We got deplatformed. They tried to
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: bankrupt this company. BUT WE'RE RESILIENT HERE, AND NOW WE'RE
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: BACK AND BETTER THAN EVER. THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT UP,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: BECAUSE THAT'S THE POINT. THEY HAVE SILENCED CONSERVATIVES ON SOCIAL MEDIA.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: THEY HAVE SILENCED CONSERVATIVES IN THE PRESS. THEY HAVE TRIED
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: TO KICK OUT FOX NEWS, BUT NOW IT SEEMS FOX
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: NEWS IS JUST PLAYING NICE SO THEY DON'T GET KICKED
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: OUT AGAIN. BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, YOU'RE
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: EXACTLY RIGHT. SILENCING US HAS BEEN FINE. WHEN THE PRESIDENT
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: SAYS WE'RE NOT GOING TO ALLOW YOU TO HAVE ACCESS
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: TO OUR OFFICE SO YOU CAN SIT THERE AND TAKE
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: WHAT WE SAY AND MANUFACTURE FAKE NEWS, That is, I think,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: within his purview. We'll see what the courts say. But
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: what do you think happens at the end of this?
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Do you think they come back? I don't know. I
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: think the court, they're going to find a federal judge
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: somewhere to tell the president that he can't control who
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: has access to his White House, I'm sure. But what
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: do you think happens? They come back and they, you know,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: they say President has egg on his face. Where does
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: this go from here?
• 9:23
  Speaker 7: I'm going to be honest. I don't think it will
• 9:26
  Speaker 7: hold up in the courts.
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: And frankly, I think it's better to just let CNN
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: decide And MSNOW in the briefing room to humiliate themselves
• 9:35
  Speaker 6: in their own words, like they've been doing for years.
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: And with the help of people like Caroline Leavitt, which
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: they don't need any, CNN does not need any help
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: humiliating themselves.
• 9:45
  Speaker 7: But you had really good.
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: Press secretaries in there calling them out every day. And
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: it's better to show that to the American people because
• 9:54
  Speaker 6: in President Trump's own words, this is the people's house.
• 9:58
  Speaker 7: So there should be a rotation.
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: And what I like about what President Trump has done
• 10:02
  Speaker 6: previously is that he let all these new journalists, new
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: media outlets, independent journalists, and fair journalists into the White House,
• 10:11
  Speaker 6: where President Biden, he kicked out over 440 reporters, of course,
• 10:16
  Speaker 6: as always they say, in the name of so-called democracy.
• 10:20
  Speaker 6: So it's really just better to have them on a rotation.
• 10:23
  Speaker 6: I don't really think this was necessary, because CNN and MSNOW,
• 10:27
  Speaker 6: they look like idiots no matter what.
• 10:30
  Speaker 7: It's not going to change anything.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I think I have a solution to this,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: because the last time this went to court, essentially the
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: court said, well, you can't kick people out because you
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: don't like what they're saying, because of their coverage, essentially.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: That was the angle here. But I don't believe, and
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: I could be wrong, I haven't researched this enough, but
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Can't you just kick all of them out? Get rid
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: of the press room altogether. You saw, who was it?
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: It was Todd Blanch. He did a press conference in
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: the Rose Garden. And you know, if you're independent media
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: and you have access to the press area at the
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: White House, anybody can go and get credentials and go
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: and be in the press area of the White House.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: You just don't get a seat. BECAUSE THERE'S AN ORGANIZATION,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: A PRIVATE ORGANIZATION THAT CONTROLS WHO GETS THOSE SEATS. SO
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: WHY DON'T WE JUST CLOSE THE BRADY BRIEFING ROOM, RIGHT?
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: AND INSTEAD WHAT YOU DO IS YOU JUST HAVE PRESS
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: CONFERENCES IN THE ROSE GARDEN. ANYBODY CAN JUST ASK A QUESTION.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: KICK THEM ALL OUT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND. I MEAN, IF
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: THEY'RE NOT GOING TO REPORT HONESTLY, JUST DO A POOL FEED.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: ANYBODY CAN SIGN INTO IT AND JUST GET THE PRESIDENT.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: I DON'T THINK IT'S AN ACCESS ISSUE AT THAT POINT.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: I THINK WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS SHUT DOWN
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: THE PROPAGANDA PRESS WHERE THEY DON'T PUT THEIR LITTLE SPIN
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: ON IT. THAT'S WHY THE PRESIDENT LOVES GOING TO DANIEL BALDWIN,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: OUR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT, BECAUSE HE ASKS THE REAL QUESTIONS
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: AND HE WANTS TO GET THE TRUTH. SO MANY OF
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: THESE PEOPLE ASK QUESTIONS IN ORDER TO SPIN OR MAKE
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: A NARRATIVE OR EMBARRASS THE PRESIDENT. WE HAVE TO DO
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: SOMETHING ABOUT IT, RIGHT?
• 11:57
  Speaker 7: WELL, I THINK.
• 11:58
  Speaker 6: THAT'S STILL A SLIPPERY SLOPE. I MEAN, I'M BIASED HERE.
• 12:01
  Speaker 6: I WOULD LOVE A SEAT IN THE And I just
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: think that it's better to let all these lefties spew
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: because they would do the same thing no matter what.
• 12:13
  Speaker 6: But we should put them in their own words and
• 12:16
  Speaker 6: we should broadcast their hypocrisy every day.
• 12:19
  Speaker 7: When you had MSNOW stating that they want President Trump
• 12:23
  Speaker 7: off the ballot.
• 12:24
  Speaker 6: They wanted him off the ballot in 2024. They cheered
• 12:28
  Speaker 6: when Colorado nearly succeeded in taking.
• 12:30
  Speaker 7: Him off the ballot.
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: So they want to shut down their political opposition. So
• 12:36
  Speaker 6: what these outlets and what would be a great idea
• 12:38
  Speaker 6: for the president to do in the briefing room is
• 12:41
  Speaker 6: to even play clips of Brian Stelter and all these.
• 12:45
  Speaker 7: And also Margaret Brennan, who just said, oh, this is
• 12:48
  Speaker 7: a violation of the First Amendment.
• 12:50
  Speaker 6: Meanwhile, she said a while ago that free speech was, quote-unquote,
• 12:54
  Speaker 6: weaponized to conduct a genocide in Europe because she was
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: defending the governments of all these European countries, jailing people
• 13:03
  Speaker 6: for their means.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a great point. You know, they want free
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: speech in the First Amendment when they get to do
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: and say what benefits them. And they don't like free
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: speech of the First Amendment when it interferes with their narrative.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: And really, that's the fight here. The point is access
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: to the president is a privilege. Making fake news isn't
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: a privilege. The First Amendment might protect speech and the
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: right for press, but it doesn't protect your access to
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: make that fake news. We'll see where the courts go.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: It's certainly very interesting. Justine, thank you so much for
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: being here as always. Thank you. Coming up next, an
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: ICE agent opens fire in Austin, the streets erupt, and
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: the left has its script ready before a single fact
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: is in. I'll show you the playbook on full display,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: then a mystery in the sky over Tehran that no
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: one can explain, and a real question about whether it's
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: our tech. and the creator of the 1619 Project. Remember that?
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: She admits that she made a mistake sending her daughter
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: to schools influenced by her political philosophy. You're not going
• 14:03

• 14:46
  Speaker 1: Here we go again. Yesterday afternoon in Austin, Texas, an
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: immigration customs enforcement operation ended with an ICE agent resorting
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: to deadly force to protect himself. The man was struck
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: once in the torso. He survived. He's in stable condition,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: and he is tonight in federal custody. And before the
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: fake news gets a chance to invent a lovable persona
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: for this individual, before they suggest he's just like your neighbor...
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you who he really is. He's a
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: 28-year-old illegal alien from Venezuela named Wilbur Garcia Perez. He
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: crossed the border under Joe Biden, like everybody else did,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: and had a final order of removal. That's right, a
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: judge reviewed his case, ordered that this man be deported
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: from the United States of America, and instead of leaving
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: the country, as he was required to do, he's here,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: fleeing apprehension on the streets of Austin. So what exactly
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: happened in that encounter? Well, a foot chase, and then
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: there was the shooting. It's all under investigation right now
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: by Homeland Security and the FBI, and I don't really
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: know the exact facts yet, but here is what they
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: did not require any... Here's what didn't require any investigation,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: I should say. The reaction. Because within hours, before a
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: single fact was established, before the body cam was reviewed,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: before anyone knew what happened, the leftist mobs descended Congressman
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Greg Cesar demanded an independent investigation. Congressman Joaquin Castro declared
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: that Trump had flooded our streets and that Governor Abbott
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: was complicit. The so-called squad called Homeland Security the greatest
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: threat to our safety, remember? A crowd of mostly peaceful protesters,
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: of course, then swarmed the scene, waving foreign flags and
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: threatening law enforcement for hours. They took over the streets,
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: engaged in burnouts with their vehicles. They had to be
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: pushed back with pepper balls to keep the officers safe.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Didn't matter what actually happened. They had their narrative locked
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: and loaded before the man was even out of the hospital.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: This is the playbook. You've seen it before and make
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: no mistake, with the midterms weeks away, the left will
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: fire up its emotional engine and they will undoubtedly use
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: this as yet another reason to rally and riot across
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: the country. Now, my next guest, he's been watching this
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: pattern build for years. Joining me now, Nick Sorter, independent journalist. Nick,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: welcome back to Dave Pollack Prime Time. Look, this didn't
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: get as out of control as I thought it would,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: maybe because this guy didn't die, maybe because they sort
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: of The law enforcement stopped it from spiraling out of control.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: But really, they were ready to go. I mean, I
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: think they were really hoping this would get a lot worse.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: The fact that they were so organized to jump on
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: this in Austin really tells you they're ready to take
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: this national if necessary, right?
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 17:42
  Speaker 9: I mean, all you had to do was look at
• 17:44
  Speaker 9: some of the video that was coming out, like almost
• 17:46
  Speaker 9: like this. There were people on the scenes that had,
• 17:49
  Speaker 9: you know, supplies, big cases of water, like the expensive megaphones,
• 17:55
  Speaker 9: like the top tier level type megaphones all on the
• 17:59
  Speaker 9: scene there to try to agitate the crowd. They know
• 18:02
  Speaker 9: what they're doing. They have these chapters all across the country.
• 18:05
  Speaker 9: And it is a very predictable playbook every single time.
• 18:09
  Speaker 9: My biggest gripe from last night was the fact that
• 18:13
  Speaker 9: DHS was giving us nothing, no information, wouldn't even tell, like,
• 18:18
  Speaker 9: wouldn't even release whether or not it was an illegal
• 18:20
  Speaker 9: that was shot.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: It took them five hours to do so.
• 18:23
  Speaker 9: That's not how Kristi Noem's DHS was operating at the time,
• 18:27
  Speaker 9: I'll say that much.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: And honestly, it could.
• 18:30
  Speaker 9: Have quelled a lot of the outright lies that people
• 18:34
  Speaker 9: like Greg, Hazard, Khazar, whatever the hell this congressman's name is,
• 18:40
  Speaker 9: the one that's been on TV on every liberal network
• 18:43
  Speaker 9: all day today, just trying to hype his name up,
• 18:47
  Speaker 9: the stories that were being invented by a city councilman
• 18:51
  Speaker 9: who is essentially, he's a DSA city councilman, saying that
• 18:55
  Speaker 9: ICE went up and just randomly rammed him and then
• 18:59
  Speaker 9: shot him five times through the back window. And that
• 19:02
  Speaker 9: was the narrative that we were getting. And they weren't
• 19:04
  Speaker 9: telling us that he was even an illegal.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: DHS wouldn't even.
• 19:08
  Speaker 9: Give us that information. So we have that confirmed now,
• 19:10
  Speaker 9: but it is critical to get in front of these
• 19:14
  Speaker 9: things because the left will just lie and lie and lie,
• 19:17
  Speaker 9: and they don't care how many riots are incited or
• 19:20
  Speaker 9: how many people end up getting hurt or how many
• 19:22
  Speaker 9: people that are misled. That's their entire game plan. And
• 19:25
  Speaker 9: it worked a lot of times last night. When you
• 19:27
  Speaker 9: would have the local media that was going down there
• 19:28
  Speaker 9: and asking people questions, they were hearing all this BS,
• 19:32
  Speaker 9: particularly from TikTok, because TikTok TikTok is a cancerous platform
• 19:37
  Speaker 9: at this point, and that's why you have a bunch
• 19:39
  Speaker 9: of Lindsey Clancy defenders out there, because that's where they
• 19:42
  Speaker 9: get their news, right?
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: That's my gripe.
• 19:47
  Speaker 9: I do appreciate that DPS, which are the state troopers,
• 19:50
  Speaker 9: as well as Austin PD, did end up coming in
• 19:53
  Speaker 9: there last night and did end up making arrests.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: But it should have been done a lot earlier.
• 19:57
  Speaker 9: And ICE should have been there as well, because let's
• 19:59
  Speaker 9: be honest, a lot of these people are also illegal.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so they did finally come out and disperse the crowd.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: But you know what I found very interesting about this, Nick?
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: And I want to get your take on it, because
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: we see similarities, and it seems that they've changed their
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: uniform a little bit. And again, I think I don't know.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know how. this is coordinated, because like you said,
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: they were ready to go. How did they know this
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: incident would occur? How would they activate it so quickly?
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: And it's always these blue cities, right? But I notice
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: an interesting pattern here. Usually, it's the Antifa folks in
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Black Block, and there's a familiar sort of pattern. This time,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: they had Mexican flags. They had blue masks on. But again,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: they all had the same blue mask, and they had
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: Mexican flags. Interestingly enough, this guy was from Venezuela. I
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: don't know why they would have Mexican flags. They had
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: all the Nazi signs and everything, which is interesting because, well, look,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: if this country is so bad, well, then why are
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: you fighting to protect people that are here illegally? But
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: what I found really interesting was they're changing the narrative,
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: the Mexican flags, because a lot of people in the
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: United States that are here legally are from Mexico. So
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: they're trying to get a sympathetic population versus where these
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: people are coming from. And the blue masks, much clearer
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: that they're wearing masks. There's no more pandemic, as far
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: as I'm aware of. Why are they wearing the blue masks? Again,
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: it's all this uniform, this sign of solidarity with the
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Mexican flag. Do you think they're setting up a new
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: narrative before the midterms here?
• 21:24
  Speaker 9: Well, I mean, I am particularly concerned about the fact that,
• 21:28
  Speaker 9: you know, we have people waving foreign flags in any
• 21:30
  Speaker 9: foreign nation. And there are no exceptions. Waving foreign flags
• 21:34
  Speaker 9: in the United.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: States is just... It's... Honestly, it kind of makes you
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: a traitor in a way, right? I mean, you're here.
• 21:43
  Speaker 9: We're taking care of you, most likely, because the vast
• 21:48
  Speaker 9: majority of these people end up being on welfare, right?
• 21:50
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 21:51
  Speaker 9: And you still just want to try to desecrate our country.
• 21:55
  Speaker 9: You want to wave your home country's flag, the same
• 21:58
  Speaker 9: place that you're desperately trying not to go back to
• 22:01
  Speaker 9: for some reason. But I can talk about the masks
• 22:04
  Speaker 9: as well, because I know exactly where they came from.
• 22:06
  Speaker 9: There was a delivery of masks, of those KN95 masks,
• 22:10
  Speaker 9: that ended up coming very shortly after the quote-unquote protests
• 22:17
  Speaker 9: began down there. People were bringing large quantities of masks
• 22:22
  Speaker 9: and giving them out to everybody. The reason that they
• 22:24
  Speaker 9: were doing that is to conceal identities. That was part
• 22:28
  Speaker 9: of the plan here. And, you know, the fact that
• 22:33
  Speaker 9: at one point they tried to charge the police line, right,
• 22:38
  Speaker 9: with those masks on. the second thing that they could
• 22:40
  Speaker 9: possibly be for is so that chemical munitions don't really
• 22:44
  Speaker 9: have an impact on them.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: So they put them on, tried.
• 22:47
  Speaker 9: To charge the police line, Department of Public Safety, so
• 22:50
  Speaker 9: the state troopers, were not having that, and they ended
• 22:53
  Speaker 9: up launching pepper munitions into the crowd, and then these.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: People figured out that, oh, well, maybe.
• 22:58
  Speaker 9: These stupid little masks that we have on don't actually
• 23:00
  Speaker 9: work for this stuff. So we're going to stand on
• 23:02
  Speaker 9: the opposite side of the road until the police leave,
• 23:05
  Speaker 9: and then we're going to go into total lawlessness.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it is... I view it, unfortunately, as a sign
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: of things to come. Now, again, I think they're disappointed
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: that this guy didn't die because they could have turned
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: this into the next sort of big riot moment. And now,
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: of course, he's in stable condition. What are they going
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: to say?
• 23:21
  Speaker 9: In stable condition and in ICE custody, by the way.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: Yes, and in ICE custody. But look, I think that
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: the Republicans are doing enough damage to– well, they don't
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: even call them Republicans. Whatever the people who no longer–
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: ARE SUPPORTING PRESIDENT TRUMP ARE DOING ENOUGH DAMAGE WITH GAS
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: PRICES THAT I FEEL LIKE THE LEFT NOW CAN BE LIKE, WELL,
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: LET'S FOCUS ON THESE OTHER ISSUES AND FOCUS ON THE
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: ICE WHILE THE RIGHT TEARS ITSELF APART. IT'S JUST MORE
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: OF REASON WHY WE NEED TO HONESTLY PUT OUR DIFFERENCES
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: ASIDE HEADING INTO NOVEMBER BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT WE'RE GOING
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: TO DEAL WITH NOT ONLY UNTIL NOVEMBER, BUT GOD FORBID
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: THEY WIN. They will do this until 2028 to make
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: sure this country is begging for leadership change just so hopefully,
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: hopefully there won't be so much chaos. They did this,
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: by the way, between 2016 and 2020. You just have
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: to go back in your memory when Trump wasn't president.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: Last time Trump was president, they did everything they could
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: to ensure this country was in chaos when they took power.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: So we've got to be really careful with that. Nick Sorter,
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: great coverage as always, bringing the real truth to the
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: American public. And I appreciate you being here as always.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: Appreciate you, David.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: Take care.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: Thank you. You too. Coming up, strange lights over the
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: capital of a country we're at war with, and not
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: one official can really say what they are. Is Tehran
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: getting a look at new American tech close up? We
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: answer that question next.

• 25:21
  Speaker 1: Something is in the sky over Tehran, and nobody can
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: tell you what it is. This weekend, video after video
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: came pouring out of the Iranian capital and out of
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: a second Iranian city. Hundreds of miles to the east,
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: strange lights shifting, hovering, multicolored, red, green, blue, like a
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: disco ball hanging in the black night sky over a
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: nation that is right now at war. Now, in one
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: of the clips, you can hear the man filming it
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: in Persian say the words, it's a UFO. And across
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: Iran this weekend, people were frightened. Now, nobody knows what
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: these objects are. The footage is grainy, of course, and
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: shot from the ground as all UFO videos are. And
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: always at a bad angle, too, right? And the analysts,
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: they say they can't even establish how big the object
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: is or how high it's flying or how fast it's moving.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: Could be drones. It could be an aircraft catching the
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: light at night. Who knows? But here's the context that
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: makes this genuinely fascinating. Iran is a country the United
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: States has been at war with since February. Tehran, well,
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: that's a city where American and Israeli drones have owned
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: the sky for seven straight months. Iran's military just threatened
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: this weekend's sustained retaliation against American bases. So when a
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: mysterious craft suddenly appears over the enemy's capital in the
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: middle of a war, the interesting question is not, are
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: these little green men? The interesting question is, are we
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: looking at classified American technology flying wherever it wants over Tehran?
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: A message written in light that the United States can
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: put anything it likes over their heads anytime it chooses.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: Is what the people of Iran are filming and fearing
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: actually just the site of American air dominance? Now, consider
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: this backdrop. This is a president who has said on
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: the record more than once that the United States has,
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: in his words, stuff that you haven't even seen or
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: heard about, stuff that Putin and Xi have never heard
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: about before, a weapons system, he says, that nobody's ever had.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: So are we looking at next generation space weapons? My
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: next guest is Deputy Chair of National Defense Industry Association
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: for Robotics, including droned, unmanned vehicles and naval assets, Howard Kent.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: Welcome back, David Pollak, Prime Time. There's probably no better
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: person that I can have on to ask about what
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: Iranians are talking about they're seeing over Iran.
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: Well, David, thank you for having me. It's always a pleasure.
• 28:07
  Speaker 10: I can tell you, as a former contractor for defense contractors,
• 28:12
  Speaker 10: the Department of Defense and intelligence agencies, that we definitely
• 28:17
  Speaker 10: have things that we have never shown to anyone before.
• 28:20
  Speaker 10: In fact, we have built dozens of space telescopes, and
• 28:25
  Speaker 10: only one of them was ever pointed at outer space.
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: Outstanding.
• 28:30
  Speaker 10: So if you ask me, what we're doing right now
• 28:34
  Speaker 10: is demonstrating our that we have persistent, staring surveillance over
• 28:39
  Speaker 10: Tehran and other cities to the east, which should be
• 28:43
  Speaker 10: a message to everyone in the IRGC that we can
• 28:46
  Speaker 10: not only track single targets, we know where you live,
• 28:51
  Speaker 10: all of you. We know where you take coffee, what
• 28:54
  Speaker 10: kind of car you drive, where you smoke cigarettes. And
• 28:57
  Speaker 10: it's really great that we had that there the night
• 29:00
  Speaker 10: before we showed them, But it's really great that we
• 29:04
  Speaker 10: have them every night after we show them we're there.
• 29:07
  Speaker 10: This is something you could turn this information over to
• 29:10
  Speaker 10: the people of Iran, and they would know exactly what
• 29:13
  Speaker 10: to do. I'm going to pitch the idea that it's
• 29:17
  Speaker 10: a potential science.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: So that is really interesting. So what you're suggesting is
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: because if we have the super secret military tech, we
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: wouldn't be putting disco lights on it. So the idea
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: is we have this whatever it is, maybe it is
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: super secret military tech that we purposely put lights on,
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: BASICALLY LIKE THE DRONE GOOD YEAR BLIMP, AND WE'RE FLYING
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: IT ABOVE TEHRAN JUST TO SHOW THEM, HEY, YOU CAN'T
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: SHOOT THIS DOWN. WOULDN'T IT BE COOL? WE DON'T HAVE
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: ANY REPORTS OUT OF TEHRAN. WE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: THEY THOUGHT THEY SEE. BUT HOW COOL WOULD IT BE,
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: SINCE WE DON'T KNOW, LET'S JUST PLAY HYPOTHETICAL. We put
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: these blinking strobe lights on it to make it look
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: like a disco ball. And then Tehran is freaking out,
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: looking for it in the radar, like, we can't see
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: this thing on the radar. What is this? So that
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: goes to your point. This could be a giant psyop.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: If we're looking at military tech, that they're like a
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: pump fake, essentially, like, hey, we're showing you this is
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: above you. You can't do anything about it. You can't
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: even see it. And by the way, let's talk peace.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: Do you think maybe that's what's going on here?
• 30:22
  Speaker 10: I would have to say that they need to talk
• 30:24
  Speaker 10: to the average IRGC member. And when it's personal, David,
• 30:29
  Speaker 10: it means we know exactly where you are, what you're doing,
• 30:32
  Speaker 10: what you're driving, where you buy your cigarettes. For them,
• 30:36
  Speaker 10: it would be devastating. It would creep you out more
• 30:40
  Speaker 10: than just knowing that there are stealth platforms up there.
• 30:43
  Speaker 10: You could see it pretty threatening, if you ask me.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: So it is very interesting. I mean, you got to
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: look at the timing, too, because you look over in Yemen.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: You know, apparently Trump was at Camp David. He came
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: back in a very, you know, he cut a trip
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: back early. He came back. Apparently some people were reporting
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: that Pete Hagseth was also on a trip. And so
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: there was a lot of rumors this weekend that the
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: United States was about to get involved in YEMEN WITH
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: SAUDI ARABIA, BUT THEN ACCORDING TO REPORTS, TRUMP PUMPED THE
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: BRAKES ON THAT, AT LEAST FOR NOW, BUT THEN YOU
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: TIME THAT, YOU COINCIDE THAT WITH THIS WEIRD BLINKING DRONE
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: OVER IRAN, AND MAYBE THERE IS SOMETHING GOING ON HERE.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: WHAT DO YOU THINK THE NEXT MOVE IS? DO YOU
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: THINK THERE MIGHT BE WEAPONS DEPLOYED? I MEAN, DO WE
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: HAVE WEAPONS THAT TRUMP IS TEASING TO? THAT THIS WAS
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: THE PSYOP PORTION AND THE NEXT, LASERS ARE GOING TO
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: COME DOWN FROM SPACE AND THEN THE WAR IS GOING
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: TO BE OVER. I MEAN, IS THIS THE NON-NUCLEAR ALTERNATIVE
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: TO ENDING A WAR THAT WON'T END? I MEAN, THINK
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: ABOUT IT. THE BOMBS IN HIROSHIMA AND NAGASAKI, RIGHT, ENDED
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: WORLD WAR II ESSENTIALLY. WE SHOWED WE HAD THESE WEAPONS
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: AND EVERYONE'S LIKE, WAIT A SECOND, THIS HAS GONE TOO FAR.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: IF A LASER COMES OUT OF THE SKY OR AN
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: INVISIBLE WEAPON DESTROYS A CITY... People might think twice, right?
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: So is Trump ready to showcase a new weapon that
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: might end all of these wars? I mean, Ukraine and
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: Russia he's getting sick of. Yemen certainly doesn't want the
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: Houthis taking over Saudi Arabia. I mean, this might be
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: the right time to deploy a weapon that makes people
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: think twice, right?
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: Absolutely, David.
• 32:12
  Speaker 10: The kind of thing that they're doing is if you
• 32:14
  Speaker 10: detailed an organization, knowing who leads it, organizes it, funds it,
• 32:19
  Speaker 10: could be thousands of targets.
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: It would be possible.
• 32:23
  Speaker 10: For America to strike them all at once overnight.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: Well, that is a message that maybe the IRGC needs
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: to hear and the Houthis as well. My friend, thank
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: you so much for being here to creep everybody out
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: about the future of military tech. I appreciate you being
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: here so much. We'll talk to you again real soon.
• 32:43
  Speaker 10: Thank you, David.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: When we come back, the woman behind the 1619 Project,
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: remember that? She spent a decade lecturing America about segregation,
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: rewriting history. Well, now her own 16-year-old daughter says she
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: was cheated out of an education because of her mother's
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: commitment to that political philosophy. The stunning admission right after
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: the break.
• 33:16

• 33:52
  Speaker 1: Have you heard of a woman named Nicole Hannah Jones?
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: Probably not, but she is the creator of something called
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: the 1619 Project, the discredited effort to reframe the entire
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: story of America's founding around slavery, the one that actual
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: credentialed historians pulled apart at the seams. She is one
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: of the most celebrated figures on the American left, a
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: Pulitzer Prize on the shelf, a hero to the academic class.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: And this weekend, in the pages of the New York Times,
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: she admitted something kind of shocking. Ten years ago, Nicole
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: Hannah-Jones had a decision to make, the same decision every
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: parent makes. Where do I send my kid to school?
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: And she had the means to send her daughter pretty
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: much anywhere she wanted, but she chose to enroll her
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: little girl in a struggling high-poverty public school in Brooklyn.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: Not because it was the best place for her daughter
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: to learn and thrive, but to make a political statement
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: about segregation. To prove a point, she decided that her
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: own child would basically be a foot soldier in her
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: ideological crusade. She wrote at the same time that she
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: worried she hadn't made the right decision for her little girl,
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: but that she'd made, in her words, the just decision. Well,
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: the little girl is now 17, and she has rendered
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: her verdict on what she thought about her parents' decision. Now,
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: here's what Nicole Hannah-Jones' daughter told her this year. She says, quote,
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: sometimes I wish instead of always thinking about her other kids,
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: you would have thought about me. I never really got
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: the education I wanted. Now, sit with that for a moment.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: A child telling her own mother, you thought about everyone
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: else but me. And the mother's response, by her own account,
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: I feel like you got cheated. And she did get cheated.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: She was cheated by her own mother's politics, sacrificed on
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: the altar of an ideology that treats a real living
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: child as less important than a theory, a wrong theory
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: about America. And here is the part that really indicts
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: the entire system, because it was not just the mother.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: The principal of that school admitted out loud what the
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: whole project actually does to kids. She said that lowering
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: standards and cutting homework in the pursuit of being anti-racist produces,
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: and these are her words, racism under the guise of anti-racism.
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: They lowered the bar for these children on purpose, and
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: they called it justice. NOW, THAT IS THE MACHINE MILLIONS
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: OF AMERICAN PARENTS ARE FIGHTING TO GET THEIR KIDS OUT
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: OF EVERY SINGLE DAY. AND MY NEXT GUEST HAS BEEN
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: LEADING THAT FIGHT LONGER AND LOUDER THAN JUST ABOUT ANYONE.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: SCHOOL CHOICE ADVOCATE AND RESEARCH FELLOW AT THE HERITAGE FOUNDATION.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: WELCOME BACK. WHAT A CRAZY STORY, RIGHT? A MOTHER WRITES
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: THE THEORY ON THE 1619 PROJECT, TALKS ABOUT AMERICA BEING
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: THIS TERRIBLE PLACE THAT'S SEGREGATED AND RACIST, AND THEN TO
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: FURTHER THAT THEORY, SENDS HER It makes no sense.
• 36:47
  Speaker 11: I mean, in order to combat segregation and racism, she
• 36:50
  Speaker 11: sends her child to a segregated, failing government school. And,
• 36:55
  Speaker 11: by the way, David, that school spends over $ 52, 000 per
• 37:00
  Speaker 11: student per year. And Nicole Hannah-Jones, who has privilege and
• 37:04
  Speaker 11: she's advantaged herself, admits that that school couldn't even do
• 37:08
  Speaker 11: anything to help her own child. And so more money
• 37:12
  Speaker 11: is not the solution to the problem. This school has
• 37:15
  Speaker 11: an average class size.
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: Of about 10 students. So it's the teachers' union's dream
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: come true, right?
• 37:22
  Speaker 11: They have more money than you can dream of, and
• 37:25
  Speaker 11: they're still failing students. And Nicole Hannah-Jones admits it. But
• 37:28
  Speaker 11: the problem is she sacrificed her own child to the
• 37:32
  Speaker 11: altar of woke ideology. Her child even said, like, they're
• 37:36
  Speaker 11: not even checking the homework. She thought that she was
• 37:39
  Speaker 11: doing the math problems, right, but they wouldn't even grade
• 37:41
  Speaker 11: the papers correctly. And so Nicole Hannah-Jones, after all this,
• 37:45
  Speaker 11: after a decade.
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: Of this experience.
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: still.
• 37:48
  Speaker 11: Does not admit that the better way to improve the
• 37:51
  Speaker 11: public schools is to have competition, to pull her child
• 37:55
  Speaker 11: out of failure.
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: That gives the.
• 37:56
  Speaker 11: School system an incentive to say, you know what, maybe
• 37:59
  Speaker 11: we won't get that $ 50, 000 anymore. Maybe we'll do a
• 38:02
  Speaker 11: better job instead of doing the same thing over and
• 38:05
  Speaker 11: over again, prioritizing the teachers unions and the adults as
• 38:08
  Speaker 11: opposed to the kids. And so Nicole Hannah-Jones basically just
• 38:12
  Speaker 11: proved to everyone that her socialist ideology of trapping kids
• 38:17
  Speaker 11: in failure factories does nothing to improve them.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: Now, we all know this, and everybody watching this show
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: knows this, that the failing public education is not good
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: for any child, and school choice is the answer to
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: take their kids out of failing schools and have the
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: option to get them educated elsewhere. I mean, everybody knows— all
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: of us pretty much know this— But the thing is,
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: public schools still exist. And there are great teachers in
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: public schools, to be very clear. Some public schools are fantastic.
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: AND THE TEACHERS ARE GREAT, BUT BY AND LARGE, YOU
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: LOOK AT THE TEACHERS UNIONS AND LOOK AT THE SYSTEM
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: AS A WHOLE AROUND THE COUNTRY, KIDS ARE NOT BEING
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: EDUCATED THE WAY THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE BEING EDUCATED IN
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: PUBLIC SCHOOL. AND YOU MENTIONED, WE'LL TEACH THE SCHOOLS BY
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: TAKING THAT MONEY OUT OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS, SENDING THEM
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: SOMEWHERE ELSE, AND THEN SCHOOLS WILL GET THEIR ACT TOGETHER.
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: I DON'T THINK THEY WILL, THOUGH, CORY, AND THAT'S MY
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: QUESTION TO YOU, BECAUSE EVEN IF YOU TAKE THE MONEY
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: OUT OF THE SCHOOLS, THEY'LL JUST BLAME PARENTS AND BLAME
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: THE PRESIDENT AND BLAME WHOEVER FOR TAKING THE MONEY OUT
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: OF THE SCHOOLS SO THEIR KIDS CAN GO ELSE. I
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: don't think the institution of public education, I don't actually
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: think they care about education anymore. They want to have
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: control over your child's mind. And so they don't care.
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: So how do you combat that? Can you actually leverage
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: any influence over this institution? Is the public school system
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: hopelessly broken? at this point?
• 39:31
  Speaker 11: Well, if a little bit of competition destroys your institution,
• 39:35
  Speaker 11: maybe that institution deserves to be destroyed. I'd call this
• 39:38
  Speaker 11: a feature, not a bug, that if you have a school,
• 39:41
  Speaker 11: like in Chicago, there's a school called Douglas Academy. We've
• 39:44
  Speaker 11: talked about this before. It's 97% empty. They're spending nearly $ 100, 000
• 39:48
  Speaker 11: a kid. Not a single child's proficient in math or reading.
• 39:52
  Speaker 11: It was built for over 1,000 kids. It only has
• 39:53
  Speaker 11: 27 students there, 28 adult employees there. And the teachers'
• 39:59
  Speaker 11: unions won't let it go.
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: It's like a zombie.
• 40:01
  Speaker 11: But they would be better served if they got rid
• 40:04
  Speaker 11: of this school, reallocated some of that funding to better schools,
• 40:08
  Speaker 11: paid the better-performing teachers a higher salary. The problem is
• 40:13
  Speaker 11: the teachers' unions love the status quo. They don't want
• 40:16
  Speaker 11: anything to change, so they fight against performance pay. In
• 40:19
  Speaker 11: New York City, they fight against charter schools, which is
• 40:22
  Speaker 11: a simple form of school choice. They're still public schools.
• 40:26
  Speaker 11: You got a charter school cap in New York City
• 40:29
  Speaker 11: because of the teachers unions. So you have tens of
• 40:32
  Speaker 11: thousands of kids stuck on waiting lists to get into
• 40:36
  Speaker 11: schools that are privately operated, but they're defined as public schools.
• 40:41
  Speaker 11: They spend a lot less per student than the school
• 40:43
  Speaker 11: that Nicole Hannah-Jones sent her own child to. And that's
• 40:49
  Speaker 11: exactly why the teachers unions fight against charter schools. They
• 40:53
  Speaker 11: fight against school choice. They fight against accountability because they
• 40:57
  Speaker 11: only exist to launder money, in a sense, to Democrat politicians.
• 41:02
  Speaker 11: All that money from the teachers unions that they get
• 41:04
  Speaker 11: from the government school system, 99 percent of it goes
• 41:08
  Speaker 11: towards their political contributions go towards Democrats. It's a one
• 41:12
  Speaker 11: sided political advocacy organization and it needs to be dismantled.
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's the only solution. I mean, honestly,
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: the way it sits now with the teachers' union, it's
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: like an entitlement to have control over the kids and
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: control over the public school system, and it's not serving
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: the children. Because really, that's what it's all about, educating
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: the children and having access to a good quality education,
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: regardless of your socioeconomic status. And when you force kids...
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: into failing schools because of their socioeconomic status in places where,
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: like you mentioned, the state takes away the parents' right
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: to choose. This isn't a red or blue issue. This
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: is an American issue. And something has to be done
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: about it. People need to start speaking up. And, you know,
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: 10 years, 17 years later, whatever, it's too little too late.
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: We need to do something now. Corey D'Angelo, thank you
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: so much for your advocacy and for always joining us
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: on this show. Thanks, David. Still ahead, it's Maha Monday,
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: and we're going to talk about a country that's one
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: step from famine, where 90% of the men are high
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: by noon and on. And no, this isn't in the
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: United States. We're talking about a narcotic leaf that people
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: shove into their cheeks. They look like chipmunks. More on
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: that crazy story next.
• 42:28
  Speaker 8: For all of our viewers out there asking where to
• 42:30
  Speaker 8: watch One America News, we'd like to introduce you to

  Speaker 8: to easily sign up for the news and conservative talk
• 42:54
  Speaker 8: you can't get anywhere else.
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: It's Monday. So it's usually Maha Monday. We talk about
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: making America healthy again. But tonight, I want to take
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: you across the world to Yemen. And not to talk
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: about the war. I'm sure we'll be talking about that
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: all week. But I want to show you something, a
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: strange story out of Yemen. It's what happens to an
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: entire nation when it surrenders itself completely to a drug.
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: Have you seen these images? Men with their cheeks bulging?
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: Have you seen this? The size of tennis balls stuffed
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: full of these green leaves? It's a drug called CAT. K-H-A-T, CAT.
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: And it's a leaf. It's chewed for hours that gives
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: a high they compare to amphetamines. And in Yemen, it's
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: not just a habit. It's basically the national pastime. The
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: entire country, 90% of Yemeni men and 70% of the
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: women cram these narcotic twigs into their cheeks every single day.
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: Even 15% to 20% of children under the age of
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: 12 chew the drug. Picture what that does to a society.
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: By noon, the whole country grinds to a halt, shops close,
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: work stops, because the focus of the day for almost
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: every single Yemeni, Yemeni, Yemeni, Yemeni person is getting their fix.
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: One man put it perfectly. A man, he said, can
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: go a long time without food and water, but not
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: one day without cat. This is a country United Nations
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: says is one step away from famine. A country, the
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: World Food Program, has to feed 12 million people, and
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: 12 million, and what are they growing on their land?
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: Not food. What are they using their water for? Not food.
• 44:41
  Speaker 10: Drugs.
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: By some United Nations estimates, 60% of Yemen's farmland has
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: been given over to cat. Farmers ripped out their coffee,
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: ripped out their fruit trees to grow it, and the
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: cat plant drinks a third, some say more, of all
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: the water the country has. So much for data centers.
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: And the money? In one of the poorest places on
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: the face of the earth, families spend more on this
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: drug than they spend on food for their children. A
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: single bag costs enough to feed a family of seven
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: for an entire day. The cat trade is worth an
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: estimated $ 12 billion to that country, which happens to be
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: about three times what the U.N. says it needs to
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: feed the entire population. So an entire nation is literally
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: chewing itself to death spending its money, its land, and
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: its last few drops of water to get high while
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: children go hungry. Joining me now is Maha Monday's own
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: Heather McIsaac, Air Force veteran and Maha advocate. This isn't
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: making Yemen healthy, is it? Not at all.
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: And, you know, what I find interesting are the parallels
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: of what I see happening in the United States.
• 45:52
  Speaker 4: When you look at these blue cities and you look
• 45:55
  Speaker 4: at these blue-run.
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: States, A lot of them don't provide accountability for those
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: who are suffering from drug addiction.
• 46:04
  Speaker 4: Instead, they enable it.
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: And that is exactly what is happening in Yemen. And
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: when you have a government that is choosing to enable
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: a drug-riddled society.
• 46:14
  Speaker 4: You have to wonder why. And when the foreign.
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: Minister, Hussein al-Ezzi, was basically approached about why the country
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: continues to make cot their number one crop, the bulk
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: of their water supply has to go to grow the
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: cot instead of food, he kind of marginalized it as, well,
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: this is just a social tradition and I don't see
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: what a big deal is, is essentially what he said,
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: I'm paraphrasing. But the point is, is that this entire
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: country is at the beck and call of this drugs,
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: the farmers of these drugs. And these have to be
• 46:51
  Speaker 3: picked fresh in order to get the most substantial hit
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: so to speak.
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: And so The.
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: Entire country is based around the mornings of these plants
• 47:03
  Speaker 3: getting farmed. And then they have to take it from
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: the farmland into the inner cities and the suburban areas
• 47:11
  Speaker 3: of this country to then provide for these people to
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: get out of bed, to go do their jobs.
• 47:17
  Speaker 4: There are some business owners that.
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: Pay their people in cot specifically to get them to
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: come to work. And what's sad is not only that,
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: you have an entire population that's essentially high which leaves
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: their children, one, to see this example. Two, children end
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: up getting horrific various illnesses because their parents aren't paying attention.
• 47:37
  Speaker 4: So we are.
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: Enabling Yemen to continue to suffer from this horrific drug-riddled society.
• 47:45
  Speaker 3: And I see it happening in the United States. And
• 47:48
  Speaker 3: the only reason that I could come up with that
• 47:51
  Speaker 3: a government would want to do this is simply for
• 47:53
  Speaker 3: control because an unhealthy population is a population that's very
• 47:57
  Speaker 3: easy to control. which we can see in Yemen because
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: they're controlled by terrorists.
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm so glad you brought that up because that's
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: what the real story is here. I mean, the fact
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: that they're stuffing their cheeks with these drugs is interesting enough. But,
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: you know, this is a place where the Houthis have
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: now decided to wage war on behalf of Yemen with
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia. And, of course, they've become a terrorist proxy
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: for Iran. And it's because the society is so drugged up,
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: the Houthis can do whatever they want to do. And
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: that's the bigger question here is when you have a
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: society that's 90 percent of men are on drugs, 70
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: percent of women are on drugs. some of the kids
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: are on drugs. Yes, the terrorists can do whatever they
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: want to do, and it creates a real humanitarian problem,
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: because how do you, how does Saudi Arabia go and
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: fight the Houthis, and how do the people in Yemen
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: do anything about the terrorist group that's running the country
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: if they're all on drugs? So it kind of seems
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: like the perfect controlled society, and I don't know if
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: the United States has any business or role in it
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: at all, and I guess that'll be seen. It's just
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: a very interesting story and awareness of what people in
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: certain places subject themselves to and why places might end
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: up the way they end up, right?
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: Well, and not only that, but this is going to
• 49:07
  Speaker 3: be happening even if we go in and let's say
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: fix it or they fix it themselves. The problem is,
• 49:12
  Speaker 3: is this is generational. Of the male population in Yemen,
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: 12 and older, 54% of the men are adults. Now,
• 49:20
  Speaker 3: this isn't just casual users. This is full-blown addiction from
• 49:25
  Speaker 3: a 12-year-old boy and up. That is more than half
• 49:28
  Speaker 3: of their male population. That is the bulk of their
• 49:31
  Speaker 3: male fighting population, which we all know how that works there.
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: But my point is, is, you know, you have the
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: foreign minister essentially just marginalizing this problem because for them
• 49:43
  Speaker 3: it's not a problem. And it pulls to the parallels
• 49:47
  Speaker 3: of what we see happening on the streets of Portland,
• 49:49
  Speaker 3: San Francisco, Los Angeles. We see these different governments pouring
• 49:54
  Speaker 3: billions of dollars into fixing a problem that I truly
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: don't think that they want fixed.
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: You know, that's so great that you bring up the
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: United States examples because you're exactly right. You look at
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: places like California and Washington state, They call these open-air
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: drug markets. Even in here, in San Diego, you drive around,
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: you see people using drugs out in the open, and
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: nobody does anything about it. And they're like, I have
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: all these programs to do something about it. But just
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: like you said, a drugged population is a controlled population.
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: And certainly the Yemen situation brings attention to the larger
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: business of having a drug-addicted population. And if we're going
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: to make America healthy again— Certainly we need to get
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: America off drugs because we're better than Yemen, right? We
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: should be better than Yemen. And we're making fun of
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: people in Yemen with cheeks filled with drugs. And then
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: we look at our own population, literally slumped over on
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: the streets, covered in feces. Well, we're no better than them, right?
• 50:50
  Speaker 3: And the thing is, people always want to say it's
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: hyperbole when you're speaking about San Francisco and Los Angeles
• 50:56
  Speaker 3: and these open drug air markets.
• 50:59
  Speaker 4: I'm from there.
• 51:00
  Speaker 3: When I went to esthetician school after the military, I
• 51:03
  Speaker 3: literally had to step over needles to get to where
• 51:06
  Speaker 3: I was going in that part of San Francisco. So
• 51:09
  Speaker 3: this isn't just people being dramatic. This is actually happening
• 51:13
  Speaker 3: in our own country. And we have politicians that are
• 51:16
  Speaker 3: enabling it. And so when I see people that were
• 51:19
  Speaker 3: commenting on the post that I had made or other
• 51:21
  Speaker 3: posts about similar issues, topics, you know, it makes you
• 51:26
  Speaker 3: have to want to reflect, I would imagine, about what
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: we're doing to our own people and what we're allowing
• 51:33
  Speaker 3: our government to fund.
• 51:34
  Speaker 4: Free Narcan.
• 51:35
  Speaker 3: I think it's Los Angeles, the bulk of their fire
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: department goes to various vagrant overdoses and people that are having.
• 51:44
  Speaker 4: Poor responses to drugs. That's where the bulk of a
• 51:47
  Speaker 4: fire department budget goes.
• 51:50
  Speaker 3: That is a travesty if that's where taxpayer dollars have.
• 51:54
  Speaker 4: To go is enabling a drug addiction.
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's sad. Look, the drug problem is global, and
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: we'll see what kind of an impact that has in
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: this conflict between Saudi Arabia and Yemen and inevitably in
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: the larger conflict in the U.S. and Iran. Heather, Heather,
