- 0:00Speaker 1: Straight ahead on Real America tonight, peace power and port pressure.
- 0:04Speaker 1: A historic ceasefire taking hold in the Middle East between
- 0:08Speaker 1: Lebanon and Israel. Also, a major breakthrough with Iran may
- 0:12Speaker 1: be close tonight. The Pentagon sending a loud message to
- 0:16Speaker 1: them trust but verify plus border burdens and budget battles.
- 0:20Speaker 1: A blunt warning today from the nation's border chief as
- 0:23Speaker 1: the longest shutdown in US history is now leaving agents
- 0:27Speaker 1: cannibalizing operations and technology failing on the front lines. Good
- 0:31Speaker 1: job Democrats and the papacy versus the President, an unprecedent
- 0:36Speaker 1: of theological firestorm erupting as a president blasting Pope Leo
- 0:40Speaker 1: for being weak on Iran, while there's a new report
- 0:43Speaker 1: out that suggests the Vatican's push against Trump might be
- 0:48Speaker 1: politically coordinated by folks from the Obama regime. And I'll
- 0:53Speaker 1: bring you the facts. I'm dan Ball. Real America starts
- 0:56Speaker 1: right now.
- 1:04Speaker 2: And it's looking very good that we're going to make
- 1:06Speaker 2: a deal with Iran, and it's going to be a
- 1:08Speaker 2: good deal.
- 1:09Speaker 3: It's going to be a deal with no nuclear weapon.
- 1:11Speaker 1: The President there earlier today sounding pretty optimistic about a
- 1:14Speaker 1: potential breakthrough with Iran, but at the Pentagon the message
- 1:18Speaker 1: is trust but verify with a blockade. Administration today announcing
- 1:24Speaker 1: an aggressive expansion of their maritime blockade. It now targets
- 1:28Speaker 1: not just Iranian ports, but any dark fleet vessels, regardless
- 1:33Speaker 1: of their nationality, that decides they're going to carry some
- 1:36Speaker 1: Iranian oil or contraband you're not getting in or out.
- 1:40Speaker 1: Military officials say. Thirteen ships have already made the wise
- 1:43Speaker 1: choice to turn around when facing the United States, Navy
- 1:47Speaker 1: Secretary of warhag Seth warning the regime that right across roads,
- 1:51Speaker 1: adding the US is reloading with more power than before,
- 1:56Speaker 1: and you better compromise or else. Haig Seth also confirming
- 1:59Speaker 1: the ready at a moment's notice to strike again, specifically
- 2:04Speaker 1: power plants, the energy industry, roads and bridges if a
- 2:07Speaker 1: deal is not signed. Pakistani mediators are now rushing to
- 2:11Speaker 1: finalize a second round of a talks in Islamabad, but
- 2:15Speaker 1: the clock is ticking towards the April twenty second deadline.
- 2:19Speaker 1: The White House maintains a deal is very close, but
- 2:21Speaker 1: for now the pressure campaign is on full throttle. This
- 2:25Speaker 1: as President Trump announces that Israel and Lebanon have agreed
- 2:29Speaker 1: to a formal ten day ceasefire. Matter of fact, it's
- 2:34Speaker 1: already in effect. Following with the President described as an
- 2:37Speaker 1: excellent conversation that he had between the Israeli Prime Minister
- 2:42Speaker 1: Bibinet Yahoo and the Lebanese president, the guns fell silent
- 2:46Speaker 1: just about three hours ago at five pm Eastern. This
- 2:49Speaker 1: breakthrough comes on the heels of Tuesday's landmark meeting in Washington,
- 2:54Speaker 1: the first high level talks between the nations in over
- 2:57Speaker 1: forty years, and while the truce is temporary, the White
- 3:01Speaker 1: House is looking long term, the President inviting both leaders
- 3:05Speaker 1: to the White House next week for a summit so
- 3:08Speaker 1: they can get a peace treaty on the books. At
- 3:12Speaker 1: the Pentagon, officials are closely watching Hesbullah, warning that any
- 3:15Speaker 1: violation of the truce could reignite full scale hostilities. Our
- 3:20Speaker 1: Secretary of State Arco Rubio and our VP JD Vance
- 3:23Speaker 1: been tasked with leading the diplomat or diplomatic meetings as
- 3:27Speaker 1: administration attempts to leverage this window to now secure a
- 3:31Speaker 1: broader deal involving Iran. Speaking to reporters earlier today in
- 3:35Speaker 1: the White House lawn, the President framed this ceasefire as
- 3:38Speaker 1: a historic milestone. Take a listen.
- 3:41Speaker 3: Actually, it's very exciting because it's forty eight years.
- 3:44Speaker 4: We're going to be meeting with bb net.
- 3:46Speaker 3: Yahoo, as you know, and the president of Lebanon, and
- 3:52Speaker 3: I had a great talk with both of them today.
- 3:54Speaker 3: They're going to be having a ceasefire and that'll include
- 3:58Speaker 3: Hesbula and I think I think it could be number
- 4:02Speaker 3: ten for me.
- 4:04Speaker 1: Alrighty joining us now to weigh in Indiana Congressman Marlin
- 4:08Speaker 1: Stutsman back on Real America. Nice to see you, Marlin.
- 4:11Speaker 5: How you been, sir, Hey, Great to be with you, Dan,
- 4:14Speaker 5: Thanks for having me so.
- 4:16Speaker 1: I mean, technically, since Israel was hitting Hesbola inside of
- 4:21Speaker 1: Lebanon and that was almost like a small war conflict
- 4:24Speaker 1: where you want to call it for the past several weeks,
- 4:26Speaker 1: and Trump just broke her that deal. And now he's
- 4:29Speaker 1: bringing the leaders of the two nations together for the
- 4:31Speaker 1: first time. I heard him say today in forty four years,
- 4:34Speaker 1: I would say that might be number nine for a
- 4:37Speaker 1: piece deal. Is that right?
- 4:38Speaker 5: Is my count reign President Trump. He's the strongest negotiated,
- 4:42Speaker 5: the strongest diplomat we've had since Ronald Reagan. And I'll
- 4:45Speaker 5: tell you what I mean. He is bringing peace to
- 4:48Speaker 5: regions that we have seen we've never seen in my
- 4:50Speaker 5: lifetime and probably for hundreds of years. And the fact that,
- 4:55Speaker 5: as we were talking earlier today, the fact that the
- 4:58Speaker 5: Gulf States are part of of the coalition against Iran.
- 5:02Speaker 5: That would not have happened five years ago, That wouldn't
- 5:04Speaker 5: have happened under the Biden administration. For sure, You've got
- 5:08Speaker 5: states like Uee, Saudi Arabia, Qatar. These are all states
- 5:12Speaker 5: that are supporting US as we go in and take
- 5:16Speaker 5: out this regime to keep them from getting a nuclear weapon.
- 5:19Speaker 5: They showed also that they had the ability to hit
- 5:22Speaker 5: Europe with a ballistic missile. So now the fact that
- 5:24Speaker 5: President Trump has Lebanon and Israel talking and they're going
- 5:29Speaker 5: to sign an agreement, it's truly historic.
- 5:32Speaker 1: Another one that he just negotiated a deal with our
- 5:35Speaker 1: biggest adversary. Forget Iran in Russia, China. We all know
- 5:39Speaker 1: that's the biggest one. I don't care if it's still
- 5:41Speaker 1: in our tech or coming after us, you know with
- 5:44Speaker 1: cyber attacks. Let's be real, it's China. So throw up
- 5:47Speaker 1: the two separate headlines. We can confirm definitely China had
- 5:51Speaker 1: been selling Iran spice satellites they were using to target
- 5:55Speaker 1: the US over the years, and Trump worked a deal
- 5:57Speaker 1: because of the oil and natural gas China been getting
- 6:00Speaker 1: from Iran and US taken over the street of our
- 6:02Speaker 1: moves now and not letting any boats interrount with us.
- 6:05Speaker 1: We say, so, guess what, China this week agreed with
- 6:10Speaker 1: Trump and said we won't be sending them any more weapons.
- 6:13Speaker 1: We're sorry, mister President. I mean, who could make a
- 6:16Speaker 1: deal like that with Yijingping? And then he made the
- 6:19Speaker 1: comment that when they have their meeting this summer, he'll
- 6:21Speaker 1: probably give him a big fat hug.
- 6:26Speaker 5: Trump, President Trump, I know, but you know what I mean.
- 6:29Speaker 5: I was actually just with some Syrian officials today, so
- 6:32Speaker 5: of course they're right over in the middle of this
- 6:33Speaker 5: as well, and they are so supportive of what President
- 6:36Speaker 5: Trump is doing. They know that this helps spring stability
- 6:40Speaker 5: to Syria, a country that has been war torn for
- 6:43Speaker 5: forty plus years as well. Syria and Lebanon.
- 6:45Speaker 1: Are very close.
- 6:47Speaker 5: They believe that is this regime in Iran is decimated,
- 6:51Speaker 5: that that gives them the opportunity to stabilize and also
- 6:54Speaker 5: talk about peace with Israel. I mean, this is a
- 6:57Speaker 5: country that has a westward leaning tendencies, and we just
- 7:02Speaker 5: need to be sure that they don't have these foreign
- 7:04Speaker 5: fighters hanging around in Syria. We've got to be sure
- 7:06Speaker 5: that the new government, we've got to keep our eyes
- 7:09Speaker 5: open on them. I mean, this is a guy that
- 7:11Speaker 5: was part of al Qaeda, but so far we have
- 7:14Speaker 5: to you know, he's making the right moves and moving
- 7:16Speaker 5: in a positive direction. But they're supportive of the United
- 7:20Speaker 5: States and they want a relationship with US. And so
- 7:23Speaker 5: what President Trump has done in the Middle East is
- 7:25Speaker 5: truly it has changed the trajectory of that part of
- 7:29Speaker 5: the world. And you know, the fact is that Europe
- 7:31Speaker 5: has been sitting on their hands doing nothing participating in
- 7:35Speaker 5: any of this. Shame on them. But also we're putting
- 7:38Speaker 5: this all together to be sure that China doesn't have
- 7:41Speaker 5: any sort of ability like they would like to in
- 7:45Speaker 5: Middle East and other parts of the world.
- 7:47Speaker 1: Yep, all right, Marlin, I just got to switch gears
- 7:49Speaker 1: real quick. And last question to you, because this has
- 7:52Speaker 1: to do with my next segment coming up that we're
- 7:55Speaker 1: going to have with our good friend Ron Botello over
- 7:57Speaker 1: at US Customs and Border Protection. I know that there
- 7:59Speaker 1: was a ill put forth by Congressman Salazar down in
- 8:03Speaker 1: Florida called the Dignity Act. A lot of folks are
- 8:05Speaker 1: calling that an amnesty bill for almost twelve million illegals,
- 8:08Speaker 1: and they're pretty pissed off at her. I know there
- 8:10Speaker 1: was a handful of Republicans that were okay with this.
- 8:13Speaker 1: You were one of them. If I didn't ask you
- 8:15Speaker 1: about it, my viewers would be mad at me. So
- 8:17Speaker 1: can you explain to them in less than a minute
- 8:19Speaker 1: why you're supporting this bill and why it's not amnesty
- 8:21Speaker 1: or is it?
- 8:23Speaker 5: Well, again, what's happening, Dan is in my district, I
- 8:27Speaker 5: had four men killed by an illegal.
- 8:31Speaker 4: Who had a CDL.
- 8:32Speaker 1: He had a driver's license.
- 8:33Speaker 5: I was given to him from the state of Pennsylvania.
- 8:36Speaker 5: My belief is is that, okay, look, we've got roughly
- 8:39Speaker 5: twenty two million people in this country or who are illegal.
- 8:43Speaker 5: So this bill deports all of those who came over
- 8:46Speaker 5: during the Biden administration, and then it also starts to
- 8:50Speaker 5: go through all of the ones who are here and
- 8:52Speaker 5: whether or not they can stay. It does not give
- 8:54Speaker 5: them a path of citizenship. It just simply is who
- 8:57Speaker 5: are you? Are you here legally? I'm sorry, are you here?
- 9:01Speaker 5: Without any sort of criminal record, and I fear if
- 9:04Speaker 5: we do nothing, we're going to let the sanctuary states
- 9:07Speaker 5: give these illegals IDs, and then there we don't know
- 9:11Speaker 5: who is who. And so this is a federal issue.
- 9:14Speaker 5: We shouldn't let the states be the ones to do this,
- 9:17Speaker 5: because the states that we don't want handing out IDs
- 9:20Speaker 5: are the ones that are doing it. That's not the
- 9:21Speaker 5: Republican conservative states like Indiana.
- 9:23Speaker 1: And I did hear Salazar say, look, you know, we're
- 9:26Speaker 1: going after the ones that are the bad own Braids
- 9:28Speaker 1: and the ones that are breaking our laws, and they
- 9:30Speaker 1: need to be kicked the hell out. But the ones
- 9:33Speaker 1: that have been here fifteen twenty years have tried for citizenship.
- 9:36Speaker 1: The only thing they've broken was when they came in
- 9:37Speaker 1: illegal twenty years ago. They got a family, and she said,
- 9:40Speaker 1: you know, even the President said, and President Trump did say,
- 9:42Speaker 1: you still need them for certain farm working jobs and
- 9:45Speaker 1: retail jobs and hospitality jobs. And a lot of those
- 9:49Speaker 1: folks that have been doing it for twenty years that
- 9:51Speaker 1: didn't do it and coming under Biden and are the
- 9:53Speaker 1: bad Own Braids, then should not be given a pathway
- 9:56Speaker 1: to citizenship, but be allowed to apply and stay while
- 9:58Speaker 1: they apply and so I get what you're saying. I
- 10:01Speaker 1: guess I need to read this Act a little further
- 10:03Speaker 1: because on its surface, I went, oh, no, no amnesty
- 10:06Speaker 1: for like millions of people. And I know you're not
- 10:07Speaker 1: for that either.
- 10:08Speaker 5: Well, and she had pathway to citizenship in previous Congresses
- 10:12Speaker 5: under other bills, and I told her I would not
- 10:14Speaker 5: sign on to it. I don't believe we should reward
- 10:17Speaker 5: illegal the illegal act that they did by coming into
- 10:19Speaker 5: this country. The punishment to that is that they don't
- 10:22Speaker 5: have a path of citizenship. They can stay with penalties,
- 10:26Speaker 5: and they have to work, and they have a bunch
- 10:28Speaker 5: of restrictions that they have on them. But we should
- 10:31Speaker 5: not be rewarding an illegal act with citizenship.
- 10:34Speaker 1: All right, I'll take another look at that Dignity Act
- 10:35Speaker 1: and dig into a little deeper. Congress from Marlin' Stetsman,
- 10:38Speaker 1: thank you, sir, appreciate.
- 10:39Speaker 5: You, you bet, Thanks Dan.
- 10:40Speaker 1: Great to be with you up next. Huh. There's always
- 10:44Speaker 1: a battle over the border with Democrats. Right, don't forget folks.
- 10:47Speaker 1: We're still in the middle of the longest partial shutdown
- 10:51Speaker 1: in American history, and let's just call it what it is.
- 10:55Speaker 1: There are problems now at the border with the deportations
- 10:59Speaker 1: because they won't fund everything. Our good friend Ron Botello
- 11:03Speaker 1: or but US Customers Work Protection will be here next
- 11:05Speaker 1: don't go away. For all of our viewers out there

- 11:43Speaker 4: Today.
- 11:43Speaker 7: Many of the services or the service providers that we use.
- 11:47Speaker 4: Have not been paid. In plane terms.
- 11:50Speaker 7: That means aircraft, patrol boats, patrol vehicles that need service,
- 11:54Speaker 7: they're being parked. Border surveillance equipment that requires maintenance is
- 11:58Speaker 7: offline until funding is approp created. Our confidential human sources
- 12:02Speaker 7: are not being paid, and we're at risk of losing
- 12:05Speaker 7: some of our intelligence tools that help us secure.
- 12:07Speaker 4: The border.
- 12:08Speaker 1: Commissioner of US Customs and Border Protection there Rodney Scott
- 12:11Speaker 1: issuing a blunt warning today in testimony before the House
- 12:14Speaker 1: Appropriations Committee. As a proper Home and Security stretches into
- 12:17Speaker 1: its ninth week of the partial shutdown, now the longest
- 12:21Speaker 1: funding gap in US history, Commissioner's testimony painted a grim
- 12:25Speaker 1: picture of the Department actually cannibalizing itself to maintain basic operations.
- 12:30Speaker 1: Thank you Democrats, and thank you Senate Republicans. You could
- 12:34Speaker 1: have pushed this crap through, got it funded, got the
- 12:35Speaker 1: Save Act, just nuke the filibuster, but you won't. Scott
- 12:38Speaker 1: warned that while agents remain on the line, the technology
- 12:41Speaker 1: they use, from the drones to ground sensors is failing.
- 12:44Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, private maintenance contracts are up
- 12:47Speaker 1: because they haven't been paid. But the debate isn't about bills. No.
- 12:51Speaker 1: Officials were also defending a massive structural shape up shake
- 12:54Speaker 1: up rather in the president's fiscal twenty twenty seven budget,
- 12:57Speaker 1: which would fold the DHS Office of Intelligence and Analysis
- 13:01Speaker 1: directly into the department's central command. The administration says the
- 13:05Speaker 1: move will say fifty three million dollars, it'll streamline communication,
- 13:09Speaker 1: and it'll prevent data gaps, citing the recent OIG report
- 13:13Speaker 1: on the nearly three hundred thousand so called ghost children
- 13:16Speaker 1: that the Biden regime lost. However, Democrats predictably pushing back,
- 13:22Speaker 1: calling this a dangerous consolidation that could poslticize intelligence and
- 13:26Speaker 1: create blind spots for state and local law enforcement. No,
- 13:30Speaker 1: you just want more government. You always do, Democrats, that's
- 13:34Speaker 1: what you're about. Joining me now a weigh in all this.
- 13:36Speaker 1: And it's our good friend who's got a new title,
- 13:38Speaker 1: got promoted. I see acting Deputy Commissioner at the US
- 13:42Speaker 1: Customs and Border Protection. Our peal, Ron Vittello, back on
- 13:45Speaker 1: the show. Congrats, big Ron, How you been buddy?
- 13:48Speaker 4: Great damn thanks for inviting me.
- 13:50Speaker 1: All right, so how are your boys and girls doing?
- 13:55Speaker 1: It doesn't sound good? No money? What the heck?
- 13:59Speaker 8: Yeah, well, we just had the ten thousand people that
- 14:01Speaker 8: are in CBP and their families are breathing a little
- 14:04Speaker 8: bit of a cygh of relief because they just got
- 14:06Speaker 8: paid a couple of days ago. So they went quite
- 14:09Speaker 8: a while, the longest shutdown ever without being paid. Very
- 14:12Speaker 8: disruptive to the lives and livelihood of those ten thousand
- 14:16Speaker 8: people spread around the world in our country as well,
- 14:20Speaker 8: so very disruptive to their lives.
- 14:22Speaker 4: And then inside the mission.
- 14:24Speaker 8: You heard the commissioner as the witness there talking about
- 14:27Speaker 8: how difficult it is when the big beautiful bill gave
- 14:30Speaker 8: us capability, as in, like you got the money to
- 14:33Speaker 8: buy a new car, you just don't have the money
- 14:35Speaker 8: to put gas in it, or you can't have a
- 14:37Speaker 8: mechanic work on it because he's not getting paid, or
- 14:40Speaker 8: he can't buy parts to put in cars or retrofit
- 14:43Speaker 8: them for the use of on the border.
- 14:45Speaker 4: So it's been a very difficult time.
- 14:47Speaker 8: You have to juggle and make decisions that you wouldn't
- 14:50Speaker 8: have to make if the Congress did their job and
- 14:53Speaker 8: gave us the appropriation that we need. And as far
- 14:55Speaker 8: as I can tell, you know, there's no real principle
- 14:58Speaker 8: behind this shutdown, and this is the Democrat just want
- 15:00Speaker 8: to stand in the way of progress because they know
- 15:02Speaker 8: we're winning in places on the border and the deportation efforts,
- 15:06Speaker 8: and so they're trying to make it difficult. They're trying
- 15:08Speaker 8: to do with the fiscal appropriations what they can't do
- 15:12Speaker 8: on the floor of the Senator of the House.
- 15:13Speaker 1: Yeah, it's ridiculous. Let me ask you about something that
- 15:16Speaker 1: a Democrat speaking to them the front runner right now,
- 15:20Speaker 1: Thanks to mister swallow Wells bowing out of the gubernatoil
- 15:23Speaker 1: race in California after he became disgraced with all of
- 15:27Speaker 1: the allegations against him. The top Democrat is this millionaire,
- 15:30Speaker 1: billionaire guy, Tom Steyer. There. He is, good old Tommy.
- 15:34Speaker 1: He pledges he'd like an open border in California, and
- 15:38Speaker 1: he says he will arrest and jail ice agents if
- 15:41Speaker 1: they come in and try to do their crazy enforcement
- 15:44Speaker 1: in Tommy Fournia. If he's the next governor Ron what
- 15:46Speaker 1: would you say to that Democrat?
- 15:49Speaker 8: Well, I would say I'm glad I don't live in
- 15:50Speaker 8: California anymore.
- 15:51Speaker 4: Sorry about that. Dam Yeah. Thanks.
- 15:53Speaker 8: I would also say that a guy like that, you know,
- 15:56Speaker 8: who is generationally wealthy, his kids will never confront the
- 16:00Speaker 8: illegal border crossers and an open border and the effects
- 16:03Speaker 8: of that. You know, it's hard working Americans that face
- 16:06Speaker 8: those consequences. It's those people on the highway that get
- 16:09Speaker 8: run over by truckers who don't deserve to have a license,
- 16:11Speaker 8: let alone be in the country legally. That's the problem
- 16:14Speaker 8: that he's asking for you and I to accept. In
- 16:17Speaker 8: the state of California doesn't need more people who don't
- 16:21Speaker 8: have a right to be in the United States committing
- 16:23Speaker 8: crimes all over the state.
- 16:25Speaker 4: They're in pretty bad shape over there last time.
- 16:27Speaker 8: I looked, and more giveaways for illegals are not going
- 16:29Speaker 8: to help that state.
- 16:30Speaker 1: We know. Thanks for reminding me. Ron. Okay, I know
- 16:33Speaker 1: you got to chime in on this one because I
- 16:35Speaker 1: remember having you on last year when this happened. Y'all
- 16:38Speaker 1: remember watching this show. Judge James Boseburg, this is one
- 16:42Speaker 1: of the law fair judges that went against Trump during
- 16:44Speaker 1: the campaign. He's been against Trump the entire year and
- 16:46Speaker 1: three months Trump's been in Now he's the guy that
- 16:49Speaker 1: stopped those flights. When you all put those bad ombreys
- 16:52Speaker 1: and we're trying to ship them down, I think to
- 16:54Speaker 1: what El Salvador and these were a bunch of Venezuelans
- 16:57Speaker 1: and other scumbags from MS thirteen and bangers. Well, now,
- 17:01Speaker 1: guess what the Federal appeals Court overruled what the judge
- 17:05Speaker 1: did and said what Trump did was just fine. Matter
- 17:09Speaker 1: of fact. They call this abuse of discretion when investigating
- 17:13Speaker 1: what Boseburg did in trying to stop those flights last year.
- 17:16Speaker 1: Just wanted get a weigh in on that run.
- 17:18Speaker 8: Yeah, this is one of the challenges that the Trump
- 17:20Speaker 8: administration and we've had in implementing a secure border and
- 17:24Speaker 8: an immigration system that has integrities.
- 17:26Speaker 4: You have these activist judges that.
- 17:28Speaker 8: Want to be activists instead of triers of fact in court.
- 17:32Speaker 8: And so I'm glad that the appeals court put things right,
- 17:36Speaker 8: but we shouldn't have this in the United States. He
- 17:39Speaker 8: overstepped his bounds. He was totally overstepped his bounds, yep.
- 17:42Speaker 8: And we had to go all the way to the
- 17:43Speaker 8: appeals court to make it right. So I'm glad it's right,
- 17:46Speaker 8: but we shouldn't be in this situation. They're stopping the
- 17:48Speaker 8: agenda again. They know it's working. The activists use every
- 17:52Speaker 8: tool that they can to get in our way, and
- 17:54Speaker 8: in this case, the judge was helping them as well.
- 17:56Speaker 1: Only a couple seconds, but I got to throw one
- 17:57Speaker 1: more up the bord of immigration Appeals Court just ru
- 18:00Speaker 1: at that good old scumbag Mack mood Khalil that had
- 18:03Speaker 1: stirred up all the crap on college campuses. Right, he
- 18:07Speaker 1: can be deported, Bye bye, go home. Ten seconds round
- 18:10Speaker 1: your thoughts.
- 18:11Speaker 4: Yeah, we already knew that.
- 18:13Speaker 8: No one's going to shed a tear that this guy
- 18:14Speaker 8: gets deported to Egypt or wherever he's from. We don't
- 18:17Speaker 8: need folks like that running down America after we invite
- 18:20Speaker 8: them here.
- 18:21Speaker 1: Amen. Amen, congrats on the new title Acting Deputy Commissioner
- 18:25Speaker 1: US Customs or Protection. Probably going to be working a
- 18:27Speaker 1: lot more hours now, Take care, Ron, Thank you all right.

- 18:36Speaker 1: on the Hill yesterday advocating for total reform of America's
- 18:40Speaker 1: foster care system. We're going to talk with one of
- 18:43Speaker 1: our first Lady's closest friends about her drive to help
- 18:45Speaker 1: kids in America. Next, for all of our viewers out

- 19:19Speaker 1: conservative talk you can't get anywhere else.
- 19:31Speaker 9: We are either here today not because America's children rely
- 19:35Speaker 9: on us, but rather, because America's children are our moral
- 19:40Speaker 9: equals as parents and leaders, it is our ethical obligation
- 19:46Speaker 9: to ensure American children develop emotionally and physically within a
- 19:52Speaker 9: safe or my environment.
- 19:54Speaker 1: I love our Floatu's a major push for foster care
- 19:57Speaker 1: reform on the Hill this week, as our First Lady,
- 20:00Speaker 1: Lannia Trump, appeared before the House Ways and Means Committee,
- 20:02Speaker 1: urging lawmakers to pass landmark legislation to protect America's foster kids.
- 20:09Speaker 1: Building on her Fostering the Future initiative, the First Lady
- 20:12Speaker 1: told a bipartisan group of representatives yesterday that new reform
- 20:16Speaker 1: is a moral imperative. She highlighted the steep climb foster
- 20:20Speaker 1: children's face, noting that only three percent earned a college
- 20:25Speaker 1: degree last year. Flotis argued that awareness is no longer enough.
- 20:29Speaker 1: The community needs action to try and solve these hurdles.
- 20:32Speaker 1: The bill aims to dismantle systemic barriers by providing tech
- 20:36Speaker 1: focused university scholarships and direct job pathways, also housing and
- 20:41Speaker 1: transportation support for youth that age out of the system.
- 20:45Speaker 1: Those are the ones I always get hit the hardest, folks,
- 20:47Speaker 1: and federal funding for expanded access to technology. The First Lady,
- 20:51Speaker 1: pointing to her initiatives growing academic reach is proof that
- 20:54Speaker 1: tangible results are already taking root across our country.
- 21:00Speaker 9: When I first developed Fastering the Future, one thing became
- 21:03Speaker 9: very clear. The foster care community requires action over awareness.
- 21:10Speaker 9: This truth stands today. I'm proud to share that Fostering
- 21:15Speaker 9: the Future currently maintains a footprint of over twenty university
- 21:20Speaker 9: across the country, from coast to coast. In fact, academic
- 21:26Speaker 9: institutions such as Vulnerbuilt University, the University of Miami, LSU UVA,
- 21:35Speaker 9: the University of Texas, the Ohio State University, and the
- 21:39Speaker 9: University of Alabama all educate Fostering the Future.
- 21:43Speaker 1: Students all right, joining us now to weigh in. I
- 21:47Speaker 1: think he might have been there. If not, I know
- 21:50Speaker 1: he knows all about it. CEO DM, a United and
- 21:52Speaker 1: senior advisor to the First Lady and one of her
- 21:55Speaker 1: best friends for decades. Our friend too, Mark Beckman, back
- 21:58Speaker 1: on the program, ark, I gotta love this version of Flotus.
- 22:03Speaker 1: It's like Malania two point zero from the first term,
- 22:06Speaker 1: and I gotta imagine she was getting her feet wet
- 22:08Speaker 1: on that first one. Plus there was so much pushback
- 22:11Speaker 1: in BS from sixteen to twenty with Trump and the
- 22:14Speaker 1: GOPN the Democrats that she was probably in the wings
- 22:16Speaker 1: just going I don't want to get involved. But now, man,
- 22:19Speaker 1: is she out there with her initiatives. I'm loving it.
- 22:22Speaker 10: It's awesome.
- 22:23Speaker 1: I love it too.
- 22:23Speaker 10: I mean, this woman is super focused. She's the hardest
- 22:26Speaker 10: worker in DC. I know firsthand. I could tell you
- 22:29Speaker 10: she works seven days a week, she works on holidays,
- 22:32Speaker 10: she doesn't stop, and her mission is really straightforward. She's
- 22:36Speaker 10: looking at children, she's helping them with education, with technology.
- 22:41Speaker 10: And then, as you're aware of, foster care has been
- 22:43Speaker 10: in a major, major initiative for her. In twenty twenty one,
- 22:46Speaker 10: she propped up Fostering the Future, and today she has
- 22:49Speaker 10: Fostering the Future students scholarship students in over twenty schools
- 22:55Speaker 10: from coast to coast and really some of the most
- 22:57Speaker 10: impressive schools in the country. In fact, we just signed
- 22:59Speaker 10: on Arizona State as well as Pepperdine and that you know,
- 23:03Speaker 10: adds on to Vanderbilt and a lot of the schools
- 23:06Speaker 10: she just mentioned. So it's an incredible moment.
- 23:08Speaker 1: Yeah, it's great. At Ohio State, I didn't go there,
- 23:11Speaker 1: but I always wanted to be a buck. I went
- 23:13Speaker 1: in the service instead, But love Ohio State. This on
- 23:17Speaker 1: top of gosh, what else have we talked about? I
- 23:19Speaker 1: mean the Trump accounts too. I was reading something yesterday
- 23:22Speaker 1: with it being tax Day, that there's already millions in
- 23:24Speaker 1: those accounts and there's already kids tapping into them. So
- 23:28Speaker 1: I mean everything she's been doing to help kids. And
- 23:30Speaker 1: I can speak from the foster care thing. I had
- 23:33Speaker 1: a bit of a rocky road growing up and a
- 23:35Speaker 1: close friend's family they probably fostered a couple dozen kids,
- 23:38Speaker 1: and there was a couple of years where I lived
- 23:40Speaker 1: with them. And I'm telling you, shoe string budget for
- 23:43Speaker 1: those foster families to take these kids in and the
- 23:45Speaker 1: ones that age out. You know, people always want the
- 23:47Speaker 1: cute little ones like a puppy. Well take the cute kid.
- 23:49Speaker 1: Nobody wants the thirteen, fifteen, sixteen year old and they
- 23:52Speaker 1: age out. We got to reform that. So bravo Millennia.
- 23:56Speaker 10: Damn, that's her focus.
- 23:57Speaker 4: You got it.
- 23:58Speaker 10: It's those individuals who reached the age of majority. They
- 24:01Speaker 10: don't have anything, so they can end up homeless on
- 24:03Speaker 10: the street, mixed up with drugs and sex trafficking, and
- 24:07Speaker 10: think about what she's doing by providing them with scholarships.
- 24:10Speaker 10: She's giving them the tools to secure an entry level
- 24:13Speaker 10: job and in turn to be financially independent. That's great
- 24:17Speaker 10: for our country too. Think about it. These individuals then
- 24:20Speaker 10: get off of the assistance that the government is providing
- 24:24Speaker 10: and maybe they turn into the next Steve Jobs.
- 24:26Speaker 1: Maybe they create more value.
- 24:28Speaker 10: Within the communities by creating new companies, new tech companies
- 24:32Speaker 10: and beyond. And that's the goal. So we've actually had
- 24:35Speaker 10: students now cycle all the way through four years of school.
- 24:39Speaker 10: She underwrites their full scholarship with her efforts, mostly financed
- 24:42Speaker 10: by her personally. But now we've been fortunate enough to
- 24:45Speaker 10: have a lot of people come in and surround her
- 24:47Speaker 10: and they donate directly to the universities. But they've been
- 24:50Speaker 10: writing letters, they've been sharing their stories and it's really touching.
- 24:53Speaker 10: Over Christmas time, we had one student write a letter saying,
- 24:56Speaker 10: if you had not helped me, I would have ended
- 24:59Speaker 10: up on the street, and she shared a photo of
- 25:01Speaker 10: all of her students. She's a teacher now. She showed
- 25:04Speaker 10: her whole class and she's changing their lives. So the
- 25:07Speaker 10: first lady is doing great work. She's changing people's lives
- 25:10Speaker 10: and it matters.
- 25:11Speaker 1: Amen, love that, Mark Beckman, give her our best. Still
- 25:16Speaker 1: still waiting for that face to face interview someday. I
- 25:18Speaker 1: know you're going to set it up with me and her.
- 25:20Speaker 1: Come on, I'd like to We love you, brother, all right,
- 25:23Speaker 1: take care, all right? Thank you of course? All right?
- 25:26Speaker 1: Coming up after the break, the war of words between
- 25:29Speaker 1: our president and pop Leo continue. But now there's a
- 25:32Speaker 1: new report that suggests it's not about our faith, it's
- 25:37Speaker 1: about politics. Why would a former Barack Obama administrative official
- 25:43Speaker 1: David Axelrod head over and meet with the Pope last
- 25:46Speaker 1: week and then all of a sudden he starts fighting
- 25:49Speaker 1: with the President about the Warren Iran, hmmm, we'll connect
- 25:52Speaker 1: the dots for you. Don't go away. For all of
- 26:01Speaker 1: our viewers out there asking where to watch one American news,
- 26:04Speaker 1: we'd like to introduce you to OAN Live. OAN Live
- 26:07Speaker 1: is the best way to stay up to date on

- 26:27Speaker 1: talk you can't get anywhere else. Welcome back. Well, there
- 26:38Speaker 1: has been a bitter battle bruin in an unprecedented theological
- 26:43Speaker 1: and political showdown between the White House and the Vatican.
- 26:47Speaker 1: Over the past couple of weeks. The tensions between President
- 26:50Speaker 1: Trump and the new Pope have been simmering over the
- 26:53Speaker 1: conflict in the Middle East. But tonight there's some new
- 26:57Speaker 1: evidence I thought I should share with you that suggests
- 27:01Speaker 1: this is not a spiritual disagreement, but that it may
- 27:05Speaker 1: be a coordinated political operation. And so for the millions
- 27:11Speaker 1: of faithful out there, I am not attacking Catholics. I'm
- 27:15Speaker 1: not attacking the Catholic Church per se. But let's just
- 27:20Speaker 1: give you some facts and let you decide. According to
- 27:24Speaker 1: new reporting from Breitbart, top Obama advisor David Axelrod might
- 27:31Speaker 1: be one of the architects behind what's being called a
- 27:34Speaker 1: woke Catholic operation. What's the goal to use the church
- 27:40Speaker 1: as a weapon to undermine President Trump's popularity and the
- 27:44Speaker 1: mega movement against religious voters before the midterms. Yes, folks,
- 27:51Speaker 1: it can happen. Don't forget this pope is an American
- 27:54Speaker 1: pope from where the city of Chicago rama Manuel David
- 28:00Speaker 1: Axelrod Barack Obama ring a bell Chicago. Now the rift
- 28:06Speaker 1: widened this week is the President launched a critique of
- 28:09Speaker 1: pop Leo. While the Vatican pushes for a ceasefire and
- 28:13Speaker 1: a softer stance on Tehran, the President is pointing to
- 28:16Speaker 1: the brutal reality on the ground. On Tuesday, he wrote, well,
- 28:22Speaker 1: someone please tell pop Leo that Iran has killed at
- 28:24Speaker 1: least forty two thousand innocent, completely unarmed protesters just in
- 28:29Speaker 1: the last few months, and that for Iran to have
- 28:31Speaker 1: a nuclear bomb is absolutely unacceptable. Thank you for your
- 28:35Speaker 1: attention to this matter. America is back DJT meantime, a
- 28:40Speaker 1: disturbing shift in Vatican priorities has been on full display
- 28:43Speaker 1: this week. And this is where I take exception. If
- 28:47Speaker 1: you've been a viewer fan of the show and you
- 28:50Speaker 1: know my stance on Islam in America. Look what it's
- 28:53Speaker 1: done to the Middle East, Look what it's done to Europe.
- 28:56Speaker 1: I'm nervous you should be too. Decided to make a
- 29:02Speaker 1: historic and highly controversial move. While he was visiting Algeria.
- 29:08Speaker 1: While Vatican News frames this as a landmark of fraternal dialogue,
- 29:13Speaker 1: no no, no, no. Critics see what the Pope did
- 29:17Speaker 1: with a Muslim cleric as a much darker, deeper shift
- 29:22Speaker 1: in alignment for the Church by becoming the first pope
- 29:25Speaker 1: to set foot in that country. Pope Leo prioritizing a
- 29:28Speaker 1: high profile visit to the Great Mosque of Algiers, the
- 29:32Speaker 1: third largest mosque in the world, to emphasize what he
- 29:35Speaker 1: calls and this is where it gets scary, a shared path. No,
- 29:40Speaker 1: I'm sorry, folks, but that false prophet Mohammed that saw
- 29:44Speaker 1: the Angel of light in a cave years ago when
- 29:47Speaker 1: he was drunk, saw an Angel of light that happened
- 29:52Speaker 1: to be disguised, because I firmly believe it was the
- 29:56Speaker 1: Devil or one of his fallen angels. However, the timing
- 30:02Speaker 1: couldn't be more provocative. The President's taken a hard line
- 30:05Speaker 1: against the radical ideology fueling the Iranian regime, but the
- 30:09Speaker 1: Vatican is all of a sudden in the same week
- 30:12Speaker 1: arguing with Trump cozying up to the very religion that
- 30:17Speaker 1: runs rampant in Iran. Hello, it's the Islamic regime for
- 30:23Speaker 1: forty seven years. They have beaten, tortured and killed people.
- 30:27Speaker 1: Look what they do to women. To gaze to anyone
- 30:29Speaker 1: that defiled that says, no way, I will not become Muslim.
- 30:33Speaker 1: Will you're an infidel? We kill you, we behead you.
- 30:36Speaker 1: So this is scary stuff right here. This pope is
- 30:39Speaker 1: not like the last two or three. I looked it up.
- 30:41Speaker 1: By the way, folks, this fraternal dialogue is being viewed
- 30:45Speaker 1: by many in the US as a surrender of Western
- 30:47Speaker 1: values in favor of a globalist, multi faith agenda, one
- 30:52Speaker 1: that ignores tens of thousands of Iranians that were slaughtered.
- 30:57Speaker 1: And don't get me started on what Muslims have been
- 30:59Speaker 1: doing on the entire continent of Africa. We've shown you
- 31:02Speaker 1: how many Christians, other Muslims, Jews that they're killing. And
- 31:09Speaker 1: if you want to know just how far this alignment goes,
- 31:12Speaker 1: look no further than the Pope's own words on social
- 31:15Speaker 1: media this week. On Monday, the pont Of doubled down
- 31:19Speaker 1: on this shared path, posting to x claiming that the
- 31:21Speaker 1: line between the Church and Islam is now effectively blurred.
- 31:25Speaker 1: He wrote, communion between Christians and Muslims takes shape under
- 31:28Speaker 1: the mantle of our Lady of Africa. Here in Algeria,
- 31:32Speaker 1: the maternal mother of Lallamarine gathers everyone as children. In
- 31:35Speaker 1: a world where division and war so pain and death,
- 31:38Speaker 1: living in unity and peace is a compelling sign. Note
- 31:43Speaker 1: the language communion between the fundamentally different faiths. To many critics,
- 31:48Speaker 1: this isn't diplomacy. It is a theological surrender. By invoking
- 31:53Speaker 1: laala morem to bridge the gap with a radicalized religion,
- 31:57Speaker 1: the Vatican is singing to the world the unique identity
- 32:01Speaker 1: of the West is being traded for a globalist mantle
- 32:05Speaker 1: of unity, and folks, I got to say, at what cost?
- 32:09Speaker 1: And this community isn't just happening abroad, Oh no, it's
- 32:13Speaker 1: reached the very heart. In a move that has sent
- 32:16Speaker 1: shockwaves through the traditional faithful, the Vatican officially designated a
- 32:21Speaker 1: permanent Muslim prayer room inside the five hundred year old
- 32:25Speaker 1: Vatican Library. This isn't just a guest area. It is
- 32:29Speaker 1: a dedicated space, complete with prayer rugs. They're pointed towards
- 32:33Speaker 1: Mecca and they're situated right in the intellectual center of
- 32:36Speaker 1: the Catholic Church. While Vatican officials are calling this a
- 32:39Speaker 1: routine gesture of hospitality. Others within the church are sounding
- 32:43Speaker 1: the alarm bells as they should, joining me now to
- 32:48Speaker 1: discuss all of this. He's the pastor, founder of the
- 32:51Speaker 1: Jordan Wells Ministry and Voice of USA. Reverend Jordan Wells
- 32:55Speaker 1: on the program for the first time. Reverend, thanks for
- 32:58Speaker 1: coming on. I've seen some of your posts and i
- 33:01Speaker 1: gotta say I'm on board with you. This alliance worries
- 33:05Speaker 1: me and I don't appreciate a pope using the good
- 33:10Speaker 1: word to get involved with politics, especially when he's taking
- 33:14Speaker 1: meetings with some of Obama's top advisors and we know
- 33:19Speaker 1: he's from Chicago. Do you think there's a connection here
- 33:22Speaker 1: politically to try and turn Catholics against Republicans before the midterms. Yes,
- 33:29Speaker 1: I do.
- 33:30Speaker 11: This is a very very dark pope, and I've been
- 33:35Speaker 11: warning about this for some time. His mergons of Christianity
- 33:39Speaker 11: and Islam called Chris Lam and that this hope is.
- 33:45Speaker 1: Very dark, that he's had the political side to him.
- 33:47Speaker 11: If you go back, Trump found his old scrubbed political
- 33:51Speaker 11: post and he was I said another interview, it sounded
- 33:55Speaker 11: like Rachel Maddock has sounded like something off the view,
- 33:58Speaker 11: and so they had the Catholic Church had a choice
- 34:01Speaker 11: between a very conservative pope and sit in Cardinal Sarah,
- 34:05Speaker 11: who is a conservative pope, and then they chose American pope.
- 34:08Speaker 11: I believe on purpose, but this was the first time
- 34:10Speaker 11: they'd ever chose an American pope. Why during this administration.
- 34:14Speaker 11: The pope is so anti American and so anti this
- 34:16Speaker 11: administration that he refused to go to the two hundred
- 34:20Speaker 11: and fifty year anniversary of our nation when he was invited.
- 34:23Speaker 11: He refused to be on the Board of Peace. That
- 34:25Speaker 11: doesn't sound like a neutral pope. That sounds like a
- 34:27Speaker 11: pope that has a very liberal ban and he doesn't
- 34:31Speaker 11: want anything to do. It's been called criticized in its administration.
- 34:35Speaker 11: He criticized and attack the immigration policies, and now he's
- 34:38Speaker 11: even calling for open borders in Europe and also calling
- 34:40Speaker 11: for pretty much saying in America that he don't like
- 34:43Speaker 11: our immigration policy, they're inhumane. And so this is a
- 34:47Speaker 11: very dark pope and if Catholics don't wake up and
- 34:50Speaker 11: begin to challenge this in the church, they're going to
- 34:53Speaker 11: be deceived, because I believe what's coming is he's going
- 34:56Speaker 11: to say that we serve the same God.
- 34:58Speaker 1: I believe that's what's coming.
- 35:00Speaker 11: And mark my words, when I hear you say that
- 35:02Speaker 11: that this pope is going to eventually say that the
- 35:04Speaker 11: Christians and the Muslims serve the same God and that
- 35:07Speaker 11: we need to unite behind that that's coming.
- 35:10Speaker 1: I'm telling you, listen, I've already seen it because you've
- 35:13Speaker 1: seen the social media influencers out there like and you
- 35:16Speaker 1: can put this one tweet up. We've got Canvas Owens.
- 35:18Speaker 1: You got Carrie Prejean Bowler, a couple of brand new
- 35:21Speaker 1: Catholics that literally just found their faith with the church
- 35:24Speaker 1: in the last two to three years now calling out
- 35:27Speaker 1: the president and trying to get these two to really
- 35:29Speaker 1: really fight here. You got one, the Iranian president tweets
- 35:32Speaker 1: that he's willing to sacrifice his own life for his people.
- 35:34Speaker 1: Donald Trump was willing to sacrifice Charlie Kirk, and he
- 35:37Speaker 1: is willing to sacrifice every American life in love of
- 35:39Speaker 1: it for the greater Israel. Who's that animal again? You
- 35:42Speaker 1: got Carrie Prejean Bowler standing up for the Iranians and
- 35:45Speaker 1: saying that Iranians and Catholics meaning Muslims, have more in common.
- 35:49Speaker 1: I mean, this is scary stuff. And you know what.
- 35:53Speaker 1: I got another point to make here, Reverend, to the viewers,
- 35:56Speaker 1: which I think will provide a little more factual background.
- 36:00Speaker 1: This is the first pope to cozy up to Islam,
- 36:03Speaker 1: because my team did a little research and if you
- 36:05Speaker 1: go back one, two, three popes, none of them were
- 36:09Speaker 1: cozying up to Islam. Matter of fact, let's bring up
- 36:11Speaker 1: a couple comments from Pope Benedict that was two popes ago.
- 36:16Speaker 1: Here we go, this is him talking about it. Show
- 36:19Speaker 1: me just what Mohammad brought that was new, and there
- 36:23Speaker 1: you will find things only evil, whoe and inhumane, such
- 36:28Speaker 1: as his command to spread by the whole world the
- 36:31Speaker 1: faith he preached. That's just one. You can read the
- 36:35Speaker 1: next one. My point is, no pope in history has
- 36:39Speaker 1: ever tried to say that Islam and Christianity goes together
- 36:44Speaker 1: until this pope. And this pope is American from Chicago
- 36:49Speaker 1: and besties with folks from the Obama regime. I'll just
- 36:52Speaker 1: leave it there. Again. This is not a dig on
- 36:54Speaker 1: the Church or the people that believe in Catholicism or
- 36:57Speaker 1: follow the Church. This is a dig on their pope.
- 37:00Speaker 1: And I think I'm allowed to say that, Reverend.
- 37:03Speaker 11: Yeah, I tell Catholics all the time. That one thing
- 37:06Speaker 11: I love about us Protestants is we believe in holding
- 37:08Speaker 11: our leaders accountable. We believe that the word of God
- 37:12Speaker 11: is the solar Scripture. Is why the Martin Luther broke
- 37:16Speaker 11: away from the Catholic Church because they had began to
- 37:19Speaker 11: believe that you can't criticize the Pope. You know, he's
- 37:22Speaker 11: basically Jesus on earth. Well, us as Protestants, we don't
- 37:24Speaker 11: believe that. We don't believe. We believe.
- 37:26Speaker 4: We on our leaders.
- 37:27Speaker 11: We reverence our leaders, but we understand when our leaders
- 37:29Speaker 11: are out of line with the word of God that
- 37:31Speaker 11: we must challenge them. Yes, and the Pope is out
- 37:33Speaker 11: of line with the word of God with scripture, he's liberal.
- 37:36Speaker 11: Instead of focus on the fact that he said no wars, well,
- 37:39Speaker 11: what about the fact that we have thousands of Christians
- 37:41Speaker 11: being killed in Nigeria right now, slaughtered during Easter.
- 37:46Speaker 1: Where is he? Why is he visiting that reverend Why
- 37:48Speaker 1: is he in Algeria praising Muslims. He should be down
- 37:51Speaker 1: in Nigeria saying, hey, Muslims, stop killing Christians.
- 37:54Speaker 11: They slaughtered them with knives, with swords on the altar
- 37:58Speaker 11: while they're and women are weeping right now tomorrow.
- 38:02Speaker 1: I believe you do.
- 38:03Speaker 11: Today and Iran they're executing young women publicly, public executions,
- 38:09Speaker 11: and the Pope has nothing to say. I am sick
- 38:12Speaker 11: to my stomach with it, and every Catholic better wake
- 38:14Speaker 11: up and realize the President's on the right side of this.
- 38:17Speaker 1: He said.
- 38:17Speaker 11: The President is the peacemaker nine peace agreements. He just
- 38:20Speaker 11: today he broke it another one with Lebanon and Israel.
- 38:25Speaker 11: He's a peace president. So I don't want to hear that.
- 38:28Speaker 11: But he has been clear since for forty years, through
- 38:30Speaker 11: all the maga loonies that say that this president has
- 38:35Speaker 11: brought drug US Central war through Israel. No, he has
- 38:37Speaker 11: set for forty years even before that, that Iran can
- 38:41Speaker 11: not have a nuclear weapon. He's been very clear about
- 38:43Speaker 11: that every president before that, even Democrats said it, Hillary
- 38:46Speaker 11: said it, Barack Obama said it. So this has been
- 38:49Speaker 11: a red line for American presidents going back in years.
- 38:52Speaker 1: So I don't want to hear what all the anti
- 38:54Speaker 1: Semitic crap.
- 38:56Speaker 11: We all know that this is a terrorist regime that
- 38:58Speaker 11: killed forty five thousand of his own people. They do
- 39:01Speaker 11: if it wasn't about a nuclear weapon, why wouldn't they
- 39:04Speaker 11: just surrender their plans if they really weren't trying to
- 39:06Speaker 11: get one. They're trying to get one because they want
- 39:08Speaker 11: to wipe Israel off the map, and they want to
- 39:10Speaker 11: wipe the United States off the map.
- 39:11Speaker 1: And this pope need to wake up.
- 39:12Speaker 11: He needs to stop using scripture to try to justify
- 39:16Speaker 11: his liberal Obama ways, because that's who he is. He's
- 39:20Speaker 11: an Obama Democrat. And I believe that in the Catholic Church.
- 39:23Speaker 11: But will wake up the conservative ones, the conservative Catholic
- 39:26Speaker 11: priests and the popes and the not the post but
- 39:28Speaker 11: the bishops of the Catholic Church.
- 39:30Speaker 1: I agree. I agree Again, I am not. I don't
- 39:33Speaker 1: think the reverend either. If you listen to our words, folks,
- 39:36Speaker 1: so you can send all that nasty hate MAILIA want.
- 39:38Speaker 1: We're not condemning millions of faithful that are Catholics. We're
- 39:42Speaker 1: just talking about one guy in the white robe and
- 39:45Speaker 1: the popemobile, that guy who again I did the research.
- 39:50Speaker 1: There hasn't been a pope yet that says Islam is
- 39:53Speaker 1: okay and we should be coosing up to him until
- 39:55Speaker 1: this guy, and when you look at his political connections,
- 39:57Speaker 1: that's where we differ. Reverend Jo Wells. Thank you, sir,
- 40:01Speaker 1: appreciate you.
- 40:02Speaker 4: Thank you, guys.
- 40:03Speaker 1: God bless you. Yep, God bless you. Stick around. Coming
- 40:07Speaker 1: up next, Charlie Kirks Show producer Andrew Colbet will join

- 41:06Speaker 1: has been a lot of hubbub and lies and bs
- 41:08Speaker 1: on social media this week about an event that was
- 41:10Speaker 1: taking place on a campus down South earlier this week
- 41:13Speaker 1: connected to TPUSA I'm gonna tell you right now, get
- 41:17Speaker 1: your remote, because you know that I'm friends with the
- 41:19Speaker 1: folks at TPUSA, and I believe in the folks that
- 41:24Speaker 1: run it. In Charlie's widow, Erica, if you don't, and
- 41:27Speaker 1: you believe those crazies on social media, then I behoove
- 41:30Speaker 1: you turn the channel right now. I'm okay with that.
- 41:33Speaker 1: I don't need you because I don't monetize you like
- 41:36Speaker 1: the crazies on social media do. But if you want
- 41:39Speaker 1: to hear some facts and truth, then hang out for
- 41:41Speaker 1: the next seven or eight minutes. Turning point in USA.
- 41:44Speaker 1: CEO Erica Kirk was originally scheduled to join our Vice
- 41:48Speaker 1: President jd Vance this past Tuesday at a TPUSA event
- 41:51Speaker 1: down at the University of Georgia, but she decided to
- 41:55Speaker 1: stay home after receiving what she described as very serious
- 42:01Speaker 1: threats on her life And why wouldn't she be getting them?
- 42:05Speaker 1: Have you seen what crazy candae Owens and others say
- 42:08Speaker 1: about her every day? And after watching her husband be
- 42:11Speaker 1: shot like all of us did, and having two little kids,
- 42:13Speaker 1: I'd be worried too. And I know what you're gonna say, Well,
- 42:15Speaker 1: the Vice president was, they're the secret service. Yet they
- 42:18Speaker 1: don't protect her. They protect him, they go with him,
- 42:22Speaker 1: they don't protect her getting there and leaving there. Think
- 42:25Speaker 1: about it before you start believing some idiot millionaire on
- 42:28Speaker 1: here TPSA spokesperson Andrew Colvid filled in at the last
- 42:32Speaker 1: minute down at the University of Georgia, telling the crowd
- 42:35Speaker 1: it is a terrible reflection on the country that a
- 42:38Speaker 1: grieving mother, a widow of two has become a constant
- 42:41Speaker 1: target of harassment. The VP addressed the situation directly, slamming
- 42:46Speaker 1: it as unhinged conspiracy theories. I agree, Thank you. Jd
- 42:51Speaker 1: Vance called the attacks on Erica disgraceful, stating that he
- 42:54Speaker 1: move forward only with the event after consulting with his
- 42:58Speaker 1: secret service. Kirkst maintains at her priority remains the safety
- 43:03Speaker 1: of her kids as she tries to navigate this crazy
- 43:06Speaker 1: world that she now lives in after Charlie's death. Taking
- 43:10Speaker 1: to social media, Erica wrote, I was so looking forward
- 43:13Speaker 1: to night's event at the University of Georgia with our
- 43:15Speaker 1: Vice President Jade Vance. But after all our Famili's been through,
- 43:18Speaker 1: I take my security team's recommendations extremely seriously. Thank you
- 43:23Speaker 1: to our amazing Georgia chapter for your support and God
- 43:27Speaker 1: bless you all joining me now talk more about that
- 43:30Speaker 1: and what the event was actually about, plus a special
- 43:35Speaker 1: visit to TPUSA that's coming up tomorrow. By forty seven.
- 43:39Speaker 1: He's a TPSA spokesperson and the executive producer of The
- 43:42Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk Show and a very very close friend to
- 43:44Speaker 1: Charlie for years. And our friend Andrew Covid back on
- 43:47Speaker 1: the program. Andrew. Nice to see you again, my friend.
- 43:48Speaker 12: How you doing you too, Dan? Yeah, I'm doing all right.
- 43:51Speaker 12: Thank you for having me.
- 43:52Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 43:53Speaker 1: You know, I'm not going to say I get tired
- 43:55Speaker 1: of doing this, but I am getting tired of having
- 43:57Speaker 1: you on so that we can discuss what crazies are
- 44:00Speaker 1: saying on social media about you, your organization, about the
- 44:04Speaker 1: widow of Charlie Kirk, and all because of two or
- 44:07Speaker 1: three millionaire podcasters that I don't get why they're doing
- 44:11Speaker 1: what they do. I don't even like giving them oxygen.
- 44:14Speaker 1: But let's talk about the event. Let me first begin
- 44:16Speaker 1: with everybody was claiming that she backed out because ticket
- 44:19Speaker 1: sales were low and nobody was showing up because nobody
- 44:21Speaker 1: likes TPUSA again, of course, that was the claim by
- 44:24Speaker 1: canvas and a couple other crazies. Was that true or not?
- 44:29Speaker 12: No, No, it wasn't. I'm you know, I'm always sort of,
- 44:35Speaker 12: I guess, impressed by the random connections that are made
- 44:40Speaker 12: by folks. No, listen, we were monitoring the situation in
- 44:46Speaker 12: the days ahead of that event. Actually, Erica had a
- 44:49Speaker 12: high school event that was planned in and around the
- 44:52Speaker 12: University of Georgia before and we had to cancel that
- 44:56Speaker 12: a few days before the event just because the security said,
- 44:59Speaker 12: with all the chatter, with all these threats, it's just
- 45:02Speaker 12: not worth it. And ultimately, you know, it was a
- 45:05Speaker 12: game of cat and mouse the whole week.
- 45:07Speaker 1: Dan.
- 45:07Speaker 12: It was like they were tracking travel and so then
- 45:10Speaker 12: we would change itineraries and then would you know. So
- 45:13Speaker 12: I was watching the whole thing play out, going like, man,
- 45:15Speaker 12: this is crazy, and you know when the security looks
- 45:18Speaker 12: looks you in the eye and says, you know, you know,
- 45:21Speaker 12: we can't guarantee your safety, and I mean, that's a
- 45:25Speaker 12: really heavy moment, and it's a really chilling moment actually
- 45:29Speaker 12: a reflection on the like I said, the state of
- 45:31Speaker 12: the country and and just some of the attacks against
- 45:33Speaker 12: Erica herself. And so yeah, I mean at this point,
- 45:37Speaker 12: the she has to be thinking about her kids, you know,
- 45:40Speaker 12: just to be thinking about the fact that her kids
- 45:42Speaker 12: are one parent away from being orphans. And sometimes it's
- 45:45Speaker 12: just not worth it, Dan, It's just not worth it.
- 45:47Speaker 4: And I was.
- 45:48Speaker 12: I was happy and honored to fill in, and I
- 45:52Speaker 12: was grateful for the Vice President being willing to do
- 45:55Speaker 12: the event with me, pinch hitting. So that's the story
- 45:59Speaker 12: it was. By the way, it wasn't the venue, Dan,
- 46:01Speaker 12: it wasn't the venue. We knew that was going to
- 46:03Speaker 12: be secure. It was in the traveling to and fro.
- 46:06Speaker 1: Yeah. I tried to point out at the beginning, is
- 46:08Speaker 1: the Secret Service secures the Vice President, not Erica Kirk,
- 46:12Speaker 1: and they're gonna travel with him and home and then
- 46:15Speaker 1: secure them while he's there. But you guys getting there
- 46:18Speaker 1: to and from, there's no Secret Service. And can you
- 46:20Speaker 1: remind folks, by the way, because I've seen you guys
- 46:22Speaker 1: talk about this before, there are actual sicko crazies out
- 46:25Speaker 1: there that are trying to track every move she makes.
- 46:29Speaker 1: They put plate numbers out, they put tail numbers out
- 46:31Speaker 1: of airplanes. They're trying to track everywhere she goes so
- 46:34Speaker 1: people can do her harm. I don't think people understand that, Andrew.
- 46:38Speaker 1: And it's because there's one crazy woman out there on
- 46:40Speaker 1: social media that started all this BS months ago.
- 46:44Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean there's even three D renderings of her,
- 46:49Speaker 12: you know, where she lives. I mean, there's all kinds
- 46:52Speaker 12: of stuff that I mean, it's just discussing. It's it's
- 46:55Speaker 12: become a cottage industry unfortunately. But I think you know
- 46:59Speaker 12: that's because you know, what happened with Charlie was so
- 47:02Speaker 12: I think traumatic for a whole country. I mean, it's
- 47:05Speaker 12: it's a global story. It's not just a national story.
- 47:08Speaker 12: And you know, so everybody knows, there's incredible interest about it.
- 47:13Speaker 12: So the eyes of the world are just constantly fixed
- 47:15Speaker 12: in one place. It doesn't matter if there's a war
- 47:18Speaker 12: and a rod going on. It's just, you know, it
- 47:20Speaker 12: somehow becomes that we're the story. And plus we do
- 47:23Speaker 12: a lot of stuff, Dan, I mean, we've we've got,
- 47:25Speaker 12: as you mentioned, we got the President coming to Arizona
- 47:28Speaker 12: for our Build the Red Wall event tomorrow. We're really
- 47:31Speaker 12: excited about that. We're expecting a packed house. I mean
- 47:34Speaker 12: that's the other thing. It's like, you know, there was
- 47:36Speaker 12: shenanigans with the ticketing system, left wing groups trying to
- 47:39Speaker 12: gobble up tickets in Georgia. But in spite of that,
- 47:42Speaker 12: we had over two thousand students at an event, at
- 47:45Speaker 12: a college event, which historically is massive. Nobody else has
- 47:48Speaker 12: even been able to do that, despite the shenanigans, despite
- 47:52Speaker 12: the security concerns, and by the way, we had to
- 47:54Speaker 12: move updoors, which was another confusion in Georgia because of
- 47:58Speaker 12: the security concerns. And so it is what it is.
- 48:01Speaker 12: We let the haters do what they're going to do,
- 48:03Speaker 12: and the noise be the noise. But we're going to
- 48:05Speaker 12: keep building, We're to keep marching forward, and we've got
- 48:08Speaker 12: the tour continues. We've got a lot of great stuff
- 48:10Speaker 12: coming up in the next coming weeks.
- 48:12Speaker 1: AhR bet is the TPOSA event tomorrow in Arizona with
- 48:15Speaker 1: the President. Is it sold out? Can't get it anymore? Oh?
- 48:19Speaker 12: Yeah it is. But listen, you know we have to
- 48:22Speaker 12: go through the security stuff, right, So I just my
- 48:25Speaker 12: note to you if you're planning on coming to the
- 48:27Speaker 12: event in Arizona, they got to sweep the cars and
- 48:30Speaker 12: check all the cars, but the new procedures, just get
- 48:33Speaker 12: there early and understand that we're dealing with the security
- 48:35Speaker 12: that we have to deal with. I ask for everybody's patience,
- 48:38Speaker 12: but it's going to be an amazing, amazing event. And yeah,
- 48:40Speaker 12: we are expecting a packed house, so we're really excited
- 48:43Speaker 12: about it.
- 48:44Speaker 1: Awesome. One more for you and I to let you run, Andrew,
- 48:45Speaker 1: I know you're so swamped today, and this one goes
- 48:48Speaker 1: to the murderer. I guess the word alleged, but now
- 48:52Speaker 1: we have even more evidence to prove besides the confession,
- 48:55Speaker 1: note that his trans lover found, besides the confession to
- 48:58Speaker 1: family membersides video of him in the area and everything else,
- 49:01Speaker 1: and the rifle being found in the field. The judge
- 49:04Speaker 1: in the case against Tyler Robinson, the alleged murderer of
- 49:07Speaker 1: our friend Charlie Kirk, just unsealed new evidence from the
- 49:11Speaker 1: ATF which confirms the rifle he used is the rifle
- 49:16Speaker 1: that killed Charlie Kirk. Just wanted to fill that out there.
- 49:19Speaker 1: For all the conspiracy theorists that are saying everybody's involved
- 49:23Speaker 1: in covering this up, you understand what that would take
- 49:26Speaker 1: to get entire agency of investigators to cover it up.
- 49:28Speaker 1: But whatever, if you still believe one crazy woman on
- 49:31Speaker 1: her podcast, that's fine with me, Andrew, I just thought
- 49:33Speaker 1: you should chime in a yeah.
- 49:36Speaker 12: I mean, well, so what was interesting? I think I
- 49:39Speaker 12: came on last time with you Dan with the Daily
- 49:41Speaker 12: Mail headline, Yeah, and they said it didn't match. Well,
- 49:45Speaker 12: that's not at all what it said. It said it
- 49:48Speaker 12: was inconclusive because the bullet was damaged, right, thank you,
- 49:51Speaker 12: But it didn't exclude either, and she did the defense
- 49:54Speaker 12: motion left that out. And the main thing the dog
- 49:57Speaker 12: that didn't bark with that defense motion was they didn't
- 50:00Speaker 12: mentioned the caliber of the round. And so what's I
- 50:03Speaker 12: think good here with the ATF report is that it
- 50:05Speaker 12: does confirm that it was a thirty caliber round, that
- 50:08Speaker 12: the shell, the spent shell casing, also matches the bullet
- 50:12Speaker 12: or matches the gun. And again we have all this
- 50:15Speaker 12: DNA evidence, We have the engravings that everything matches his fingers.
- 50:20Speaker 1: He engraved him. He had engraved ones at home, the
- 50:22Speaker 1: freaking rifles the same caliber. Just because the bullet was
- 50:24Speaker 1: so damaged, they couldn't get the rifling grooves to match
- 50:27Speaker 1: that exact gun. Sixty five percent of the time when
- 50:30Speaker 1: bullets are smashed. I looked it up last time you
- 50:31Speaker 1: were on, don't match one hundred percent because they fragmented.
- 50:35Speaker 12: They're damaged, Yeah, they're damaged well, And you know, it's
- 50:37Speaker 12: frustrating here Dan is that this is a huge, you know,
- 50:40Speaker 12: bombshell report atf but it won't get nearly the spread
- 50:44Speaker 12: as the you know, the daily mail headlines, and so
- 50:47Speaker 12: who knows how many people are going to ultimately get
- 50:49Speaker 12: the truth. But but it listen, it it confirms what
- 50:53Speaker 12: we said then, that that this bullet does, you know,
- 50:56Speaker 12: beyond a statistical probability measure, which beyond a reasonable doubt,
- 51:01Speaker 12: it's even more than a reasonable doubt, it matches this gun.
- 51:04Speaker 12: Plus you've got the spent shellcasing here that absolutely matches
- 51:09Speaker 12: the gun. So you know, you can only say the
- 51:12Speaker 12: truth so many times.
- 51:13Speaker 1: He's a patsy. Come on now, don't you listen to
- 51:15Speaker 1: nobody on social media every day he's a patsy. Those
- 51:17Speaker 1: bullets were placed at his house. The bullets are placed
- 51:19Speaker 1: on the roof, The gun was placed in the field.
- 51:22Speaker 1: He wasn't even there. It's all made up. You're in
- 51:24Speaker 1: on it. Eric's in on it, Trump's in on it.
- 51:26Speaker 1: We only went to war because they had to kill Charlie.
- 51:29Speaker 1: That's what idiots are saying on this damn thing every day,
- 51:32Speaker 1: and I'm so sick of it. Sorry, Andrew, but yeah,
- 51:35Speaker 1: you remain a lot.
- 51:36Speaker 12: I mean, me too, Dan, Me too, Dan. But I
- 51:39Speaker 12: you know, I would say that God gives us grace
- 51:41Speaker 12: for each new day, and you just keep moving forward.
- 51:44Speaker 12: I mean, this is never to this level because what
- 51:47Speaker 12: happened with Charlie was such a huge, huge story obviously,
- 51:50Speaker 12: but you know, I'm grateful that Charlie and I went
- 51:53Speaker 12: through a number of I would say smaller wars than
- 51:57Speaker 12: this and kind of hardened your skin, gets you ready
- 51:59Speaker 12: for it, and you at some point have to ignore
- 52:02Speaker 12: the chatter and you just have to. You just have
- 52:04Speaker 12: to press forward with what the truth is, what's good
