  Speaker 1: Straight ahead on Real America tonight. The Southern Poverty Law
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Center scandal, a scathing DOJ indictment revealing how a self
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: proclaimed watchdog of hate allegedly turned millions, probably billions over
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: the years of donor dollars into a secret slush fund.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: You ready for this for the exact same extremists that
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: they vow to destroy. So they're funding the bad guys
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: so they can fight the bad guys. Oh sounds like
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Democrats plus hostility On the high seas, Iranian gun votes
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: launched a direct assault on international shipping vessels, shattering a
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: ceasefire just hours after it was extended. So what will
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: forty seven do next? And congressional map manipulation illegal wars
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: erupting in Virginia's critics slam a new redistripingt scheme they
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: say as a blatant attempt to rig the elections. I'm
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: dan Ball and Real America starts right now. Close your eyes.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Remember what you saw on television, Remember seeing those neo
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Nazis and klansmen and white supremacists coming out of fields
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: with lighted torches, veins bulging, spewing the same anti Semitic
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: bile heard across Europe in the thirties. I remember what
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: the President said when asked, he said, there were quote,
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: very fine people on both sides.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Do you remember that huge lie, total bs that came
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: from Democrats, the mainstream media, every Trump hater on the planet.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: It's not what the President said. But y'all know that
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: by now that right, there was a twenty twenty campaign
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: promise from good old Sleepy Joe. Guess what it was?
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Built on a narrative regarding what happened in Charlottesville. But
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: tonight a brand new bombshell, an indictment from the Department
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: of Justice, now shattering the image of an organization that
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: helped fuel the narrative and has probably done it for
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: decades with donor cash. You ready. Federal prosecutors have charged
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: the Southern Poverty Law Center. You might have just heard
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: their acronym, the SPLC, right with wire fraud, money laundering,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: and conspiracy. Acting US Attorney General Todd Blanche alleges the SBLC,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: a group that built its brand on fighting hate and
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: white supremacy, You're ready, was actually using the donor money
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: to secretly fund the very extremists they tell the nation
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: they oppose and fight. Of course they did. This is
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: what democrats do with your tax dollars. Give it to
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: the NGOs, and the groups turn around and give it
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: right back to them so they can win re election.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: It's been their plan. It's what they've been doing with
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: our money for years. According to the indictment, the SBLC
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: funneled millions and millions of dollars to informants embedded in
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: some of the most vile hate groups on the planet.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: The SPLC was paying a member of the leadership group
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: that planned the Unite the Right protest in Charlottesville, Virginia
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: in twenty seventeen that resulted in the death of one
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: person and injured dozens more. This particular person being paid
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: by the SPLC allegedly received approximately two hundred and seventy
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: thousand dollars over the course of eight years. In total,
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: according to the indictment, between twenty fourteen and twenty twenty three,
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: SPLC paid at least three million dollars to eight individuals.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: At least these individuals were affiliated with the Ku Klux Klan,
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: United Clans of America, National Socialist Movement, Aryan Nations affiliated
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: Sadistic Souls Motorcycle Club the Nationalist Socialist Party of America, Nazis,
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: and the American Fronts.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: You know that little group with hoods that were started
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: by Democrats all those years ago. In the South, the
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Southern Poverty Law Center now facing an eleven count federal
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: indictment the Department of Justice accusing the organization fundamentally deceiving
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: all of their donors mips representing how millions of contributions
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: were actually spent. Remember they're supposed to be fighting hate
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: in the court room. The charges are sweeping, six counts
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: of wire fraud, four counts of bank fraud, one count
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: of conspiracy to commit money laundering. Prosecutors claimed the SPLC
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: established shell companies to conceal the true destination of their cash.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Are acting ag FBI director Patel characterized the organization's informant
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: program as a deceptive playbook.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: The Southern Poverty Law Center themselves advertise to raise money
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: to dismantle violent extremist groups. For a period of at
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: least a decade. They use their donor network to raise
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: money to purportedly dismantle violent extremist groups. However, the SPLC
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: the Southern Property Law Center used the money they raised
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: from their donor network to actually pay the leadership of
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: these very groups. I just want to say that again
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: they use the fraudulently raised money by lying to their
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: donor network thousands of Americans to go ahead and actually
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: pay the leadership of these supposed violent extremist groups.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Alrighty, our first guest this evening, I'm sure has plenty
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: to say about all this. He's the director of research
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: over at the Government Accountability Institute and the author of
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: the book Control of garks are Pell Seamus Bruner. All right, Seamus,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, we know the KKK was started by Democrats
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: in the South. We thought this Southern poverty law center
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: firm thingy for years was helping to fight that hate.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: And now they're actually I guess I'll tell you keep
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: yourself in business, right, fund the bad guys, just don't
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: tell the donors for the American people.
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Dan, that's exactly right. This is such an incredible story,
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: a great first step. I'm reminded of a quote from
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: the great Thomas Soul that racism is not dead, but
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: it is kept alive on life support by the very
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: people who benefit from this false sense of moral superiority.
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: Now I think it's a little bit more than a
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: false sense of moral superiority. There is an entire agenda here.
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: They smeared half the country. Joe Biden's clearly in on it.
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: He played the clip right at the top, yep. And
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: so I think the question really is right now, this
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: feels to me like the tip of the iceberg.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: The question is how deep does this conspiracy go.
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: A lot of the talk has been about the misleading
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: of donors. Well, some of the donors of the SPLC
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: are the very dark money groups who participate in the smears.
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: We're talking about the Soros types, the Arabella types. The
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: Tides Foundation has given over a million dollars since then.
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: So were they misled or were they in on it?
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: And so this feels just like the beginning to me.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I got some names up here that good old
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: AI found for us on who's donated a lot of money, like,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: you know, hundreds of thousands, millions, you name it. A
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: couple that stuck out to me is the billionaire Tom
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Steyer who thinks he's going to be the next governor
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: of California. Jeff Bezos, George Clooney and his wife tons
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: of money. As you said, George Soros. Of course we
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: knew he paid a bunch for that. Tim Cook and
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Apple put in tons of cash the Hurst Corporation. I
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: go on and on, and here's a few headlines about
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: all their nefarious donors. Again, are these people legitimate donors
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: who thought they were fighting racism and hate? Or did
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: they know exactly what these scumbags were doing at the
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: SPLC and they just gave money to help them. By
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: the way, we should give them a fair shake. Seamus
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: So their acting CEO, his name is Brian Fair. After
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: the indictment was dropped, he put out a whatever statement good.
• 8:02
  Speaker 6: Today the federal government has been weaponized to dismantle the
• 8:06
  Speaker 6: rights of our nation's most vulnerable people and any organization
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: like ours that tries to stand in the breach. We
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: stood in the vanguard then, and we stand in the
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: vanguard today. We will not be intimidated into silence or contrition,
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: and we will not abandon our mission or the communities
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: we serve. This moment in history finds Americans in a
• 8:29
  Speaker 6: critical struggle between those who continue to pull and bend
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: the artifa history toward justice and those who resist progress.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: You take it from here. I can't with their lives.
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: Go ahead, James, Yeah, So I mean we're if the
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: donors or anybody else beyond the SPLC was in on it,
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: we're talking conspiracy potential rico. So I think that needs
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: to be fully investigated. Now, I think even more absurd
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: than all of this is that under the Biden administration
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: they actually relied on the SPLC and their categorization of
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: hate groups. There was a partnership between the Biden FBI
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: and the SPLC to identify hate groups. So thanks to
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: Director p Tell, that relationship was cut off. But think
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: about how much taxpayer resources were spent trying to chase
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: around all of these leads generated from the very group
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: funding the you know, the extremist groups that otherwise probably
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: wouldn't even.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Exist, no kidding, Because they put their rats on that
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: ship and paid them to report back. Those rats probably
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: pushed them to do things too, again, keeping them in business.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: This is disgusting. I got two more for you. Do
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: you think these guys had paid informants at J six
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: and were pushing the violence? Do you think the SPLC
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: could have done that too? Question?
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: Well, if it wasn't wasn't for them, I think this
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: shows us the business model for sure. I mean it's
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: like they fund the worst elements and just based on
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: how the media participates, how you know, people like in
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: the Biden administration, Biden himself participate, and they turn what
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: otherwise would have been an orderly gathering at January sixth
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: or other events into this you know, propaganda narrative where
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: they're able to smear half the country, all of their
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: political opponents. So I think the SPLC business model needs
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: to be investigated, whether it was that entity.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Or any of the dozens of others like it.
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: I mean, we've got a database of dozens, if not hundreds,
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: of organizations just like the SPLC, which exists to create
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: propaganda narratives using dark money, like the Soros and Arabella casts.
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: So I think it's worth investigating for sure. I hope
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: the FBI is on it.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, me too. About thirty seconds left, Seamus, I gotta
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: throw this one out because you know, I got a
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: badge of honor last Friday. The group Care, right, the
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: good old Muslim Brotherhood funded organization in DC that acts
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: like they care about American Islam relations. Care stands in
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: solidarity with SPLC. They're attacking the DOJ they're saying that
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: this is all weaponized and that the SPLC is great.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: I'm sure that CARE probably donates to the SPLC as well,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: And of course they get their money from the Muslim Brotherhood,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: which is a terror organization, and so is CARE because
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Islam is of the devil in my opinion, Seamus final
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: word to you.
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: Yeah, amen, Dan, I completely agree, and it's funny. I'm
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: glad you brought that up. We actually have a big
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: investigation into CARE.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: We're about to release it.
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: Oh and it's actually I didn't even think about it,
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: but it's strikingly similar to the SPLC model, which is
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: faking Islamophobia in order to get more donations.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: So we will make sure you get the first sneak
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: peek at that. Dan, I better, and you're coming on
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: the day you drop that investigation on this show. You're
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: going to lead it that day unless you know the
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: war's over, and you're going to talk it because I
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: am not backing down. Because Kerr said I'm an extremist,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: and then the Iranian regime put out that lego video
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: and highlighted me. I'm like, bring it on, wackos, Bring
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: it on. Seamus Brunner as always. We appreciate your brother,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: take care awesome Thanks Dan yep. Coming up after the break,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Democrats taking a victory lap after last night's elections in Virginia,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: where they barely squeaked by a ballot measure to jerrymander
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: their state, all but silencing millions of Republican voters by
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: turning the majority of districts blue in the Commonwealth. The
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: big question was it legal? Well, the Supreme Court let
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: it stand. Will dive into that. Plus President Trump intervenes
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: stops the executions of several Iranian women. This as a
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: ram seizes two international commercial vessels in the strait of
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: her moves. So what's going to happen to the crumbling
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: regime and this very very fragile ceasefire? And then a
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: bit later in the program, did you hear the good word?
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: God's word? It's being spread, Actually, I should say it's
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: being read out loud in our nation's capital all week
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: long thanks to the Trump administration. We'll talk all about
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: it later in the program. Don't you go Away? For
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: all of our viewers out there asking where to watch
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: one American news, we'd like to introduce you to OAN Live.

  Speaker 1: And the best part is OAN Live is only four

  Speaker 1: dot com to easily sign up for the news and
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: conservative talk you can't get anywhere else. All right, folks
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: looking at of the midterms, do you hear this? The
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: old dominion state democrats added again, plotting out another schemes
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: trying to rig the system so they can take back control.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: It's hat another brazen disregard for fair play, turning our
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: election maps into tools for one party control. Virginia voters narrowly,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: and I mean narrowly. It was it forty nine point
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: something to fifty point. It's barely fifty one percent. They
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: narrowly approved a constitutional amendment last night that clears the
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: way for a dramatic redrawing of the entire state's congressional map.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: The move, champion by Democrat lawmakers, would allow the legislature
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: to replace an independent redistricinct commission that voters already put
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: in place. Oh G that sounds like what they did
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: with Prop fifty in California. We had a you know,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: no political affiliate, no election, We had a separate commission,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: and they did the same dang thing in California. The
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: redrawn map. Get this, well, I'll make Democrats favored to
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: win in ten of Virginia's eleven congressional districts, a major
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: shift from their current six to five edge, which sounds
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: more feasible. We know it's a blue state, but it's purple.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of conservative in Republican voters in Virginia.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Six to five seems pretty feasible. Right, Fairfax, loud In County,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: the cities that's got the liberals, the rural areas are
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: all red. I mean, if this goes ten to one,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: that's going to be fair for Republicans in Virginia. This
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: left wing scheme faces significant challenges in court. Opponents, including
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: the Republican National Committee and the Honest Elections Project, argue
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: the new map violates Virginia's constitutional requirement that districts be
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: continuous and compact, with some calling the proposal the least
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: compact map in state history. Yeah, I don't really know
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: how you give ninety percent control to one party when
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: the state is almost divided. I mean, even if you
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: call it sixty forty blue versus Red, they still should
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: get seats to represent Republicans in the Sunshine State. Florida's
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Governor Ron Desantez fighting back to ensure the playing field
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: doesn't crumble. Desantas has announced he intends to call a
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: special session of his state legislator to draw new maps
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: down there. This is a strategic maneuver that could net
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: Republicans as many as four or five more critical seats,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: but the path forward is far from clear, folks. Florida's
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: constitution includes strict anti gerrymandering provisions that prohibit redistricting with
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: the intent to favor political parties, So even if Florida
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: successfully makes the change, the Republican Party is likely to
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: gain only a handful of seats at the most. So,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: from Virginia's new maps to Florida's special session, states are
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: actively trying to re engineer the political landscape right before
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: our eyes. But this power struggle over how we vote
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: is rapidly moving beyond state lines. With the Save America
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Acts stalled in the Senate, the focus is shifting from
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: passing new laws to enforcing constitutional ones. Under Article one,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Congress is the ultimate judge of its own elections. Analysts
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: now suggest Congress should stop waiting on state cooperation and
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: start using its subpoena power to investigate blue state election data.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: That way, Congress can formally challenge the results of fraud
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: plague districts, or even refuse to seat the delegates from
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: the states that fail to secure their ballot boxes. So, please,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: once again, can we get the Save America Act pasted?
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: And we're going to see how Scotis probably is going
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: to react to all this jerrymandering very soon, joining me
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: now to sound off about all this. And I know
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: he's got an opinion. He's the founder of the Loud
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Majority and sits on the board of advisors at the
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: New York Young Republicans Club or PAL. Kevin Smith back
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: on the program, keV, nice to see you again. How
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: you been doing good?
• 17:39
  Speaker 7: Doing good?
• 17:40
  Speaker 8: You know, just taking in what happened in Virginia yesterday
• 17:43
  Speaker 8: with a giant ballot dump directly at the end of
• 17:46
  Speaker 8: the night, right out of the big city. It's almost
• 17:48
  Speaker 8: like I'm feeling I got a real Bill Murray and
• 17:52
  Speaker 8: Groundhog day.
• 17:52
  Speaker 7: Thing happening.
• 17:53
  Speaker 9: Now.
• 17:53
  Speaker 7: Where haven't I seen this before?
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Right, like I said, And it reminds me and
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: I wonder too. I didn't see the marketing in Virginia
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: ahead of this election. But do you know did they
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: pull the same trickery that they did out here in
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Comifournia where I live, where they were literally lying to
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: people about what Prop fifty was going to do. I
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: remember standing in line out here during the Prop fifty
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: election and a guy goes, I don't even know what
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: fifties for. They told me to say yes, right, and
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: I asked him, I go, well, do you want it?
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: So the Democrats picked the districts or back to the
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: independent commission. He goes, oh, no, no, I don't want that.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: I'm like, then why would you vote yes? He goes, well,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: that's what they said it would do. I'm like, so
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: they misrepresented in California to the voters what Prop fifty
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: was going to do in jerrymandering by giving all the
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: districts to Democrats, which, by the way, we got about
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: six seven million registered Republicans in California. I don't know
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: how many in Virginia. You might know the numbers better,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: but how did they market this crap of jerry mandering
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: down there in the Commonwealth.
• 18:49
  Speaker 8: Oh, they just ran the most ridiculous question on the ballot,
• 18:55
  Speaker 8: the Kamala Harris word salad style of question.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: Didn't know what it was.
• 19:01
  Speaker 7: And I spoke to people in Virginia.
• 19:03
  Speaker 8: That didn't know this was even happening until it broke
• 19:06
  Speaker 8: over their local news over the course of the last
• 19:09
  Speaker 8: you know, this morning and this afternoon that they would
• 19:13
  Speaker 8: be redistricted out of.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: Their current seat.
• 19:15
  Speaker 7: And the map is the redrawn maps. They're not even trying.
• 19:21
  Speaker 8: It is one thing to redistrict in a place like
• 19:23
  Speaker 8: Florida or Texas where the overwhelming majority of voters are
• 19:27
  Speaker 8: one certain way.
• 19:28
  Speaker 7: Even here in New York they tried it. Luckily we
• 19:32
  Speaker 7: beat that ballot initiative back in twenty twenty two.
• 19:35
  Speaker 8: But you know, in Virginia, a genuinely purple area, a
• 19:40
  Speaker 8: red area. I would say, with the deception of Loudon
• 19:43
  Speaker 8: and Fairfax, right, you know, it's just d C. You know,
• 19:47
  Speaker 8: it's DC's little brother like fair Fact and loud should
• 19:50
  Speaker 8: just become part of Washington d C at this point
• 19:53
  Speaker 8: and leave Virginia to its own devices.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: Well, the way Virginia pulled it well back up the
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: way Democrats are pulling it down there again, when I
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: say eleven seats, the way they're drawing it, we'll be
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: lucky to hold onto one or two. You're disenfranchising millions
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: and millions of Republican voters if we only get one
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: or two seats for that whole state out of eleven.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: As you said, in Texas, it's a way different story.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: And I believe they went through their legislator, did it proper,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: They didn't violate their state constitution. You heard me say, hey,
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Ron's having a special session, and if it does violate
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: their state constitution Florida, it won't go through. But again,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: Florida and Texas are different beasts. You can look at
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: the numbers and you see they are predominantly Republican, predominantly read.
• 20:36
  Speaker 8: And you know Democrats ll have to yell about jerry
• 20:38
  Speaker 8: mandering and representation and one person, one vote. But we
• 20:42
  Speaker 8: look at what they're doing in Virginia, and then you
• 20:44
  Speaker 8: look at entire regions of the country. The entire New
• 20:49
  Speaker 8: England region, Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut
• 20:55
  Speaker 8: doesn't have one Republican congressman, the whole corner of America.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: Right, you tell me nobody is a Republican up on
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: the East coast in the New England States.
• 21:07
  Speaker 7: Not one.
• 21:07
  Speaker 8: You're right, there are no, There are no Republicans in Boston.
• 21:13
  Speaker 7: You've been.
• 21:14
  Speaker 8: There's more Catholics in Boston than there are in Ireland.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Say, I've spoken to some Irish dudes, and I'm pretty
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: sure they're not Liberals in Boston.
• 21:23
  Speaker 8: If you've ever been to a Celtics game, you know
• 21:25
  Speaker 8: there are plenty of Republicans there.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And what a disgusting turn of events to have
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Democrats squash the power of one person's vote. Because the
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: dudes in Whigs two and fifty years ago were smart
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: enough when they set this republic up to say we're
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: not trying a democracy like Greece and France. No, no, we're
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: not gonna be where the mob rules, where fifty point
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: one percent can tell the forty nine point nine and
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: what the hell to do. Everybody's voice is supposed to matter,
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: that's what this is a republic for. So the minute
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: you take a state and go every rep in the
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: federal government for our state is going to be blue.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: When you've got millions of Red voters. You just spit
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: in the face of the founding fathers and the Constitution.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: In my book, I'll give you the final word and
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: all this crap keV.
• 22:08
  Speaker 8: No, you're absolutely correct, And you know, I do feel
• 22:11
  Speaker 8: for the people of Virginia that they were not that
• 22:13
  Speaker 8: they were not given the assistance that they needed. Every
• 22:15
  Speaker 8: activist at America should have been descending on Virginia, and
• 22:19
  Speaker 8: I really put that at the I really put that
• 22:21
  Speaker 8: at the fault of National Republican leadership.
• 22:24
  Speaker 7: It was the only game in town.
• 22:26
  Speaker 8: There's no reason why they couldn't have gotten a hotel
• 22:27
  Speaker 8: in Richmond and had every one of us come down
• 22:30
  Speaker 8: there knocking on.
• 22:32
  Speaker 7: Doors doing what we each do best to get that
• 22:35
  Speaker 7: vote out. But I guess it wasn't that important to them. Yeah.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: I still get a little bit upset with the National RNC,
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: a lot of the GOP state delegations. I mean, look
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: at the one I have in California. I feel like
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: they've thrown their hands up and given up decades ago,
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: and it's freaking disgusting, especially all the fighting you me
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: and millions of America First MAGA folks have been doing
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: the last ten years since Trump came on the scene.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: I only got a few seconds left, but I want
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: you to chime in on this real quick, because we
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: started off the show tonight covering the indictment of the
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: Southern Poverty Law Center and how they were putting a
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: bunch of money into the people they said they were fighting.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: I heard throw this headline up. I heard you with
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: the loud majority made their list that they targeted you
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: in the last couple of years. Is that right? You're
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: one of these long island groups that've got targeted by him.
• 23:20
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, five years running. Now I think they sent
• 23:24
  Speaker 7: me a trophy after five years.
• 23:26
  Speaker 8: But it turns out breaking news from eighteen sixty Democrats
• 23:30
  Speaker 8: continue to fund the KKK.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 23:34
  Speaker 7: It turns out they've been doing it the whole time.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Isn't that funny? It was Southern Democrats that started it.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: It's the reason we had the Civil War over slavery
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: and everything else, and Democrats funded and started the KKK,
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: And now they have a law firm two hundred and
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: some years later that still does the same damn thing.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: Thanks for bringing that up, keV. Appreciate you. Have a
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: good day. Take care YEP. Facts folks, facts, remind your
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: Democrat friends who started the KKK and then who was
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: just funding it up. Next, President Trump intervenes saves the
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: lives of several innocent women in Iran who are about
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: to be hung to death. This is the fragile cease
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: fire hangs in the balance. Stay with us. So we're
• 24:13

• 25:03
  Speaker 1: Welcome back. All right, let's say to the Middle East.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: Now you have another prospect for peace in the Middle
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: East when it comes to the conflict between the US
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: and Iran. President Trump indicating earlier today that there is
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: now a fresh round of diplomatic talks possible. We're hoping
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: that could begin on Friday. This potential breakthrough comes as
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: Pakistan continues to serve as the key mediator, trying to
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: coordinate future talks in Islamabad. The news follows President Trump's
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: decision to extend the temporary ceasefire, granting Iran and whoever's
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: in charge now more time to try and consolidate their
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: leadership and then present a proposal to actually negotiate on again.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: I think we and Israel killed so many of their
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: leaders I don't know if they know who the hell
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: is in charge now. While the ceasfire is currently holding,
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: the situation is extremely volatile. The US naval blockade of
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: Iranian ports remains in full effect, Treasury Secretary Scott Missent
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: warning that the regime's economic lifelines are under immense pressure
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: as oil storage facilities are reaching capacity. What are you
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: going to do with in Iran? Despite the diplomatic push,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: tensions are high. Iran has accused the US of acts
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: of war following the boarding of oil tankers, and both
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: sides have warned they're prepared to resume hostilities if negotiations fail. Now,
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: the fragile path to diplomacy suffered a major blow just
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: hours after President Trump extended that ceasefire. Get this. Iranian
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: Revolutionary Guard gunboats the small ones right, because they have
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: no navy ships left. We've sunk them all. Launched a
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: direct assault on international shipping lanes in the Strait of
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: harmuz Uk Maritime Trade operations confirm Iranian forces fired on
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: three different shipping containers today. One vessel did sustain heavy damage,
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: and the IRGC has now confirmed that it has seized
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: two other cargo ships and they're going to keep them
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: in Iranian waters. Now, these were not American shipping boats
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: at all. I think one might have been from the
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: UK or somewhere, and the other one I'm not quite sure.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: Taran calls it enforcement action, but Washington sees it as
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: a major escalation. These seizures are clearly a move by
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: Iran to try and regain some sort of leverage while
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: Iran's leadership struggles to figure out who's in charge and
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: how they're going to move forward. So, with the ceasefire
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: literally hanging by a thread and only days left on
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: the President's deadline, the region is at a breaking point.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: This as the President also intervened earlier today with Iran
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: as they were set to execute a bunch of I
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: don't want to call them prisoners. They were peaceful protesters,
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: they were women, and they wanted to hang them because,
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: of course, if you stand up to the regime, we
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: hang you. That's how Iran does things. Trump made a
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: call and literally they stopped the execution of eight women.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: But remember Trump bad, right, everybody on the left. Trump's
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: a horrible man, right. He could have ignored this, He
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: could have let eight innocent, beautiful Rainy women get murdered.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: But he stepped up and stepped in, join me out
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: to discuss all the latest with US and ran negotiations,
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: what's happening in the Strait and these eight people who
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: were spared. He's a former instructor the US Army War
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: College and a former Pentagon strategist or pale. Retired arm
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: Lieutenant Colonel Robert McGinnis back on the program. All right, colonel,
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: we should probably begin with the most pressing issue, and
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: that would be the Strait of her moves and these ships.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: So they have no navy left according to all reports,
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: these are just the small strike gunboats. Right. So they
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: hit one and then they took two. Do you know
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: what governments? I know they weren't like military boats. These
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: were commercial shipping container vessels. Do we know what nations
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: they belonged to or where they were from?
• 28:51
  Speaker 9: Yeah, they're likely i ERG boats. Al Jazeera reported weeks
• 28:57
  Speaker 9: ago that most of those all vessels were underground, out
• 29:02
  Speaker 9: of our reach allegedly. And so there are a bunch
• 29:06
  Speaker 9: of them out there, Dan, they can call upon them
• 29:10
  Speaker 9: what we see though right now IRGC, you know it's
• 29:14
  Speaker 9: seized ships, it is you know, taking a couple captive.
• 29:19
  Speaker 9: It's signaled that it has missiles in downtown Tehran we
• 29:22
  Speaker 9: saw on that television and of course these maritime attacks.
• 29:26
  Speaker 9: Now all this shows I think that it's not the
• 29:30
  Speaker 9: negotiators that tripped over to Islamabad. We could go to
• 29:35
  Speaker 9: meet with JD Vance. It's the IRGC, the thugs in
• 29:39
  Speaker 9: uniforms that are in charge. And this is sort of
• 29:43
  Speaker 9: a different equation. I think that we've been negotiating now
• 29:46
  Speaker 9: if the civilians were in charge. But that's not the case.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, wow, Well so this sounds like a lot
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: of you know, just disrupted, no direction. So how the
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: are we going to negotiate with them if no one
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: knows who's in charge and who's calling the shots, Because
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: if the civilians are in Pakistan negotiating and say, yes,
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: we're going to adhere to the Seaspire, but you've got
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: fier GC guys in uniform saying we're going to keep
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: hitting these boats and trying to take and seize them.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: I don't know that the Truck administration is going to
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: sit idly by and allow that to happen and continue
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: the ceasefire, even though forty seven just extended it.
• 30:26
  Speaker 9: Yeah, he did. It's a pause under pressure, which is interesting.
• 30:30
  Speaker 9: You'll recall when JD. Vance made a statement at the
• 30:33
  Speaker 9: end of twenty one hours of negotiation in Islamabad, he said,
• 30:37
  Speaker 9: this is our final offer. But we've soon found out
• 30:41
  Speaker 9: that the seventy one people that were over there, they
• 30:44
  Speaker 9: didn't have the authority to make a decision. So it
• 30:47
  Speaker 9: goes back to who's in charge of that country. I
• 30:50
  Speaker 9: think it's IRGC. Even though we've peeled back and destroyed
• 30:55
  Speaker 9: a couple of layers, it's still started off with what
• 30:59
  Speaker 9: two hundred thousand deep out of a country at ninety million,
• 31:03
  Speaker 9: So there's some real believers that are left. They may
• 31:06
  Speaker 9: be in a cave somewhere, but they're still left and
• 31:09
  Speaker 9: they're making decisions and obviously the civilians that we've been
• 31:13
  Speaker 9: negotiating with and they're talking to really don't have the
• 31:16
  Speaker 9: final say. And that's something that I think feeds into
• 31:21
  Speaker 9: the narrative that China is putting out. Certainly the Russians
• 31:26
  Speaker 9: and I think the people on the other side of
• 31:28
  Speaker 9: the golf understand that this isn't over yet.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and it sounds like China. You guys can throw
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: the headline up about President Trump raising concerns about China's
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: role after we sees that Iranian link vessel a couple
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: days ago that was full of oil probably heading to China.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: I thought China was not helping us, but at least
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: not helping them, according to a good call that President
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: Trump had was Yijingping. So what do you think is
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: happening there? Obviously the good old CCP is just playing
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: both sides as usual, right.
• 31:59
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I don't believe anything that she will say. Did
• 32:03
  Speaker 9: they provide them the ballistic missile that shot down the
• 32:05
  Speaker 9: f fifteen weeks ago? Probably keep in mind, you know
• 32:10
  Speaker 9: they've been you know, they've signed a strategic relationship or
• 32:14
  Speaker 9: document with the Iranians years ago. They've been supplying them
• 32:18
  Speaker 9: with most of everything they have except for the s
• 32:21
  Speaker 9: three hundreds of the Russians sold them. And so the
• 32:24
  Speaker 9: Chinese and the Russians will continue to be unhelpful because
• 32:27
  Speaker 9: it serves their purpose. And if you can keep Iran
• 32:30
  Speaker 9: holding on and keep us busy in the Gulf, you know,
• 32:34
  Speaker 9: that means that we're not going to be, you know,
• 32:36
  Speaker 9: creating trouble in the South China Sea or with Taiwan,
• 32:40
  Speaker 9: or even helping you know, the Ukrainians more given the
• 32:44
  Speaker 9: tepid support they have from most of NATO.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, great point. Final one, Let's go back to those
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: eight women who by all accounts have been spared because
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: President Trump intervened. How did that happen? Because I would
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: assume when we watched the the public hang into that
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: famous wrestler in Iran and some other guys in the
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, they didn't care that the President
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: was upset about that. And if it's the military doing it,
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: not civilians hanging folks over there, why would they pause
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: that execution of those eight women just because Trump said
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: don't do it.
• 33:16
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I think that's under the control of the Maji
• 33:19
  Speaker 9: and not the IRGCA. They kind of policed the people
• 33:23
  Speaker 9: and you know, what are eight lives of eight women
• 33:26
  Speaker 9: to them? You know, they're not very useful to IRGC
• 33:32
  Speaker 9: and Siloslamist nation even in peaceful times. They have second
• 33:36
  Speaker 9: class citizenships. So I'm not really concerned, unfortunately, because they've
• 33:43
  Speaker 9: already killed at least forty thousand of their own and
• 33:46
  Speaker 9: they'll do much more in order to stay in power.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I just thought, is it the civilians telling those
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: police don't do it. We're trying to negotiate with Trump,
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: and so they stepped in and said, don't kill them.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: I mean it didn't work like I said the other
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: day when he was like, don't kill the wrestler and
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: they did anyway. Uh, Colonel McGinnis, as always, thanks for
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: the insights, Sir, appreciate you.
• 34:04
  Speaker 9: Thanks Dan.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: Yep, straight ahead. If you didn't know, today is Earth
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: Day and according to our next guest and friend, Climate
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: Depot founder Mark Morano, President Donald Trump should receive the
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: National Earth Day Award. Mark will explain why next don't
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: go away. For all of our viewers out there asking

  Speaker 1: top of our homepage oann dot com to easily sign
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: up for the news and conservative talk you can't get
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: anywhere else. Already, despite decades and decades of climate alarmism
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: pushed every Earth Day, which is today, the dire predictions
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: have repeatedly failed to materialize. Remember that twenty six years
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: ago Al gore parts of America be underwater by twenty twenty,
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: Send me your money, vote for me for president. Hey,
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: Al read between the lines. Instead of an environmental collapse,
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: there's no longer life expectancy, stronger crop production, and fewer
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: deaths from natural disasters. But wait, climate activism is a
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: political agenda, folks, used to justify more government control, higher taxes,
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: and restrictions on American energy and your freedom's period full stop.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: So called green policies actually hurt affordability and reliability. Exaggerated
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: climate narratives are being used to push policies that weaken
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: our economic strength and limit your individual liberty instead of
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: prioritizing American prosperity and energy independence. Our next guest is
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: dropped in op ed Daily caller, our Pal Climate Depot
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: founder mart Rno argues that expanding American energy production like
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: our oil, gas, and mining is not only good for
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: the US and our economy, but actually better for the
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: environment and the whole world, because then people don't have
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: to rely on other companies who don't source the materials
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: as clean as we do. You see. Mark claims that
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: recent policy shifts have revived domestic energy and reduced dependence
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: on countries with weaker environmental standards. Duh. He sees fossil
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: fuel development as a strategic advantage that strengthens national security,
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: will lower cost, and keep energy production under stricter US
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: environmental oversight. We're like the cleanest out there. He criticizes
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: green energy alternatives like wind and solar, arguing they rely
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: heavily on resource extraction and foreign supply chains like China
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: to make the frickin' parts of the windmill and the
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: soul panels. Blah blah blah blah. He also says we
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: should be giving President Trump like the big National Earth
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: Day Award for doing what he's doing. So let's have
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: him tell us more here now, the founder executive director
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: climatedepot dot Com, Mark Rono back on Real America. Hey, Mark,
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: how you doing?
• 37:16
  Speaker 10: Hey, very good, Thanks for having me on.
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: Dan. You just put it. I mean, we just read
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: drop in and you could have sat at home and
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: not done the interview. It's a perfect op ed. I mean,
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: it makes sense to me that because we have been
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: at the forefront of making sure that we collect the
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: fossil fuels the clean as possible on the planet, that
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: the more we produce, and then other nations that buy
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: from us instead of those countries that don't do it clean,
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: that the environment stays cleaner. Makes a lot of sense
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: to me. Mark, Why not to the lefties?
• 37:44
  Speaker 10: It doesn't make sense to lefties because here's what doesn't
• 37:47
  Speaker 10: make sense. There are all four borders when it comes
• 37:50
  Speaker 10: to net zero. Now, imagine that your average progressive usually
• 37:54
  Speaker 10: doesn't care about borders. They want a free flow of migration,
• 37:57
  Speaker 10: they do only even they want borderless world, one old government.
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: Et cetera.
• 38:01
  Speaker 10: But when it comes to the climate, they say, oh
• 38:04
  Speaker 10: my gosh, if this happens within the United States borders
• 38:07
  Speaker 10: or within Canada's borders, or within England, or within France
• 38:10
  Speaker 10: or within Germany. We've got to reduce that within the border.
• 38:14
  Speaker 10: And they could care less what happens when you take
• 38:16
  Speaker 10: that energy extraction in these countries that are economically better
• 38:20
  Speaker 10: and of higher technological rates and great environmental standards and
• 38:24
  Speaker 10: you outsource it. So the whole point of my Earth
• 38:27
  Speaker 10: Day article, and the whole point that Donald Trump truly
• 38:30
  Speaker 10: does deserve the Earth Day Hero Award for Earth Day,
• 38:34
  Speaker 10: is that this was an accounting trick. The entire climate
• 38:36
  Speaker 10: narrative for three decades get the West to de industrialize
• 38:41
  Speaker 10: and harm itself economically as a way to essentially redistribute wealth.
• 38:48
  Speaker 10: But it was never about the climate, because all they
• 38:50
  Speaker 10: were doing when you put carbon taxes and net zero
• 38:54
  Speaker 10: and green new deals on Western economies with the highest
• 38:57
  Speaker 10: environmental standards, highest human rights, high technological right, all you
• 39:01
  Speaker 10: were doing is increasing pollution and if you care about it,
• 39:05
  Speaker 10: carbon dioxide. And that's exactly what they've done. We've outsourced
• 39:09
  Speaker 10: our energy to China, We've outsourced it to Venezuela, We've
• 39:12
  Speaker 10: outsourced it to the Middle East. We have the rise
• 39:15
  Speaker 10: of Russia now with Europe.
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: But what Trump's doing to stop that. Mark comments on that,
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: look what he's done in a year and three months
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: to reverse that, which then will help the environment. If
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: these other nations like Europe, the EU stop buying from
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: people like Iran, stop getting things from countries that don't
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: take these things from the earth in the cleanest, most
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: possible way, I think we'll learning a lot about the
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: green new scam while we're actually fighting Iran.
• 39:41
  Speaker 10: Final word to you, yeah, well, if you look at
• 39:43
  Speaker 10: Trump's first term, the United States, and that's still true today.
• 39:46
  Speaker 10: United States led the world and reducing CO two emissions
• 39:50
  Speaker 10: per country even more than the signatories of the UN
• 39:52
  Speaker 10: Paris Climate Agreement because of our technological advancement with fracking
• 39:56
  Speaker 10: natural gas. And so I'll let see Ann explain from
• 40:00
  Speaker 10: March forth. CNN analysis the United States and Donald Trump
• 40:03
  Speaker 10: is quote producing more oil than any country and the
• 40:05
  Speaker 10: history of the planet. This is what they're talking about.
• 40:08
  Speaker 10: We have more energy. Donald Trump did three hundred actions
• 40:12
  Speaker 10: to unleash the energy, and we're producing twenty four million
• 40:15
  Speaker 10: barrels a day. We can weather a Middle Eastern war.
• 40:18
  Speaker 10: Not I'm not even commenting on the war. I'm just saying,
• 40:20
  Speaker 10: if you're having a Middle Eastern war. This is the
• 40:23
  Speaker 10: first time in our nation's history that we're not having
• 40:25
  Speaker 10: long gas lines and stressed out to the max because
• 40:29
  Speaker 10: we have energy dominance now. And so what Donald Trump
• 40:32
  Speaker 10: has done, and it also includes saving the whales, going
• 40:34
  Speaker 10: after offshore when you'd think the Audubon Society or the
• 40:39
  Speaker 10: saving birds.
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: But no, it's Donald Trump. But the Orange one. Yeah,
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: they're never gonna give Orange Man bad. He's never gonna
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: get any credit from the environmentalist. Mark Morano, thank you.
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: So we now designate, at least on this program today,
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: the Earth Day Award twenty twenty six goes to President
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: Donald J. Trump. Mark, Thank you, brother, Thank you, God blessed,
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Dan.
• 41:00
  Speaker 10: Appreciate it.
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: Stick around. We're going to end this program with some
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: very good news after the break the good word right
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: there of God, don't you go away. You're watching Real
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: America on a win. For all of our viewers out
• 41:18

  Speaker 1: part is OAN Live is only four ninety nine per
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: month incredible, honest and unbiased reporting at a fraction of
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: the cost of cable. So just click on the link
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: at the top of our homepage oann dot com to
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: easily sign up for the news and conservative talk you
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: can't get anywhere else.
• 42:00
  Speaker 11: Which are called by my name, shall humble themselves and
• 42:03
  Speaker 11: pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways.
• 42:09
  Speaker 11: Then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin,
• 42:14
  Speaker 11: and will heal their land.
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: President Trump delivering a powerful message from the Oval, joining
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: a marathon, week long effort titled America Reads the Bible.
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: And I got to say, I'm loving this. Could you imagine?
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: Could you even fathom that if we had had a
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: president Harris? Oh excuse me, got a little sick to
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: my stomach there. If we'd had a president Kamala Harris.
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: Do you think we'd be doing this in our nation's capital.
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: I highly doubt it. The President is just one of
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: nearly five hundred participants, including our speaker, Mike Johnson, our
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the Secretary of War Pete Heigseth,
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: some celebrities, religious leaders, you name it. Like I said,
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: almost five hundred people taking part in the continuous reading
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: cover to cover of the scripture. Again, I don't even
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: think another Republican president would have done this. I don't
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: think a Jeb Bush would have done it, organizers saying
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: the choice of second chronicles was no accident. For decades,
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: that specific verse has served as a rallying cry for
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: those who believe America's future depends on a return to
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: our Christian spiritual foundation. The President called it a humbling
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: moment as the nation prepares to markets two hundred and
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: fiftieth anniversary by rededicating itself to the ancient words of
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: faith that this republic was built on. Don't let any
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: woke person tell you any different. That's where America came from,
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: some gutsy guys and the Word. And of course they
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: were tired of the crown and paying big taxes, which
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: look where we're at today. The push for a spiritual
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: restoration isn't just happen in the Oval office. It's also
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: happening in the courts. The Federal Appeals Court just cleared
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: the way for Texas to enforce a very controversial law
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: requiring the Ten Commandments be displayed in every public classroom.
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: Love to hear that we used to be able to
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: pray in the morning, and if you wanted to read
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: a Bible at church or at school, rather, you could
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: not anymore. In a razor thin nine to eight ruling,
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: the Fifth Circuit Court declared the law does not violate
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: the First Amendment, arguing that a poster on a wall
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: is not the same as forced religious worship. Exactly, We're
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: just displaying something in a school so kids can know
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: here's some of the basic fundamental principles that this nation
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: was built on, and you, as an American student, should
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: know this and there should be nothing wrong with that. Again,
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: before they sold us on the whole separation of church
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: and state bs a few decades ago, we were just
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: fine with letting a kid read the Bible, or praying
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: in school, or having the Ten Commandments on the wall.
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: Joining me now to comment on this historic event going
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: down this entire week. I think it's like seven straight
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: days of them reading the Bible in our nation's capital.
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: He's the lead pastor at the Sheridan Church and tell
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: us to Oklahoma, the founder of Pastors for Trump, and
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: now a candidate for Oklahoma's first congressional district or Friend
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: Jackson Leaemeyer back on Real America. Pastor's so nice to
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: see you. You know, God's been winning. I'm not going
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: to say we've been winning because all the glory goes
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: to him, but he seems to be winning, right. I've
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: had these folks on you on the last few months
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: talking about different court cases, talking about different surveys and polls,
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: about younger people and folks finding the word or getting
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: back to the Word, becoming Christians, getting saved. And now
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: this a president who sets aside an entire week, calls
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: in celebrities, spiritual leaders, other political leaders. I didn't see
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: Anymocrats on there. I could be wrong, but cause all
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: these people in to read the Bible cover to cover,
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: what did you think about that when you heard that
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: the president was doing this well?
• 46:10
  Speaker 12: It kind of brought me back to the crossroads that
• 46:12
  Speaker 12: our nation was at in November of twenty twenty four.
• 46:15
  Speaker 12: America was going to go one way or the other.
• 46:18
  Speaker 12: We were at a why Harris Trump, But it was
• 46:20
  Speaker 12: more than a decision between those two candidates. It was
• 46:24
  Speaker 12: either we were going to return to God or we
• 46:26
  Speaker 12: were going to keep going away from God. And you
• 46:29
  Speaker 12: got to remember Easter twenty twenty four under Joe Biden.
• 46:33
  Speaker 12: That was Transgender Visibility Day under his administration, which is,
• 46:38
  Speaker 12: you know, the ultimate slap in the face to every
• 46:40
  Speaker 12: single Christian in this country. Because Dan, you and I
• 46:43
  Speaker 12: both know this. The schedulers at the White House, they
• 46:46
  Speaker 12: knew that that Sunday was Easter Sunday.
• 46:49
  Speaker 7: Everyone, even even if you're not.
• 46:50
  Speaker 12: Really a follower of Jesus, you know when Easter Sunday is.
• 46:54
  Speaker 12: And so now under this administration, there has been a
• 46:58
  Speaker 12: sharp turn back to faith, to Church, the Bible, and
• 47:02
  Speaker 12: to God, and we're seeing it flow out of the
• 47:05
  Speaker 12: highest office in the land. And there is a biblical
• 47:08
  Speaker 12: significance to this. In the ancient nation of Israel, whenever
• 47:13
  Speaker 12: the kings would worship God and lead the people into
• 47:16
  Speaker 12: worshiping of God, the nation would be blessed by God.
• 47:20
  Speaker 12: When the kings would lead the nation away from God
• 47:22
  Speaker 12: in the false gods, well the nation would be cursed
• 47:25
  Speaker 12: by God. And so we are returning to God, which
• 47:28
  Speaker 12: means God can then pour out his blessing on our nation.
• 47:32
  Speaker 12: And the Bible is so clear, Dan, that when the
• 47:34
  Speaker 12: righteous are in power, the people rejoice, but when the
• 47:38
  Speaker 12: wicked rule, the people grown. So having President Trump reading
• 47:43
  Speaker 12: out of the Oval Office, you know the Bible, which
• 47:47
  Speaker 12: is just an incredible thing, coming from Second Chronicles seven,
• 47:52
  Speaker 12: verse fourteen. It's amazing. And we're seeing it in all
• 47:57
  Speaker 12: the different metrics throughout the country. And we've talked about
• 48:01
  Speaker 12: those before. So God's doing something in America.
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he is. Speaking to one of those polls I
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: talked about. I think you were on a week or
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: so ago when we were discussing some of the polls
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: with young men between twenty and thirty years old who
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: are actually finding God. Here's another poll just out and
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: the majority of young men in this nation are calling
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: religion very important to them. Now, I want to put
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: a caveat in there, and you can push back on me,
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: a pastor or not. I always remove that word religion
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: because I know that so many battles and so many
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: deaths have been caused by man's religion. And so that's
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: why I went non denomination when I was eighteen years old.
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: I'll be fifty two this year. I've never went back
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: to a religion. And I'm not saying there's something wrong
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: with being a Catholic or a Presbyterian or a menn
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: nit like I grew up. I just feel like men
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: screw things up, and so because we sin, we're sinners.
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: That's why Jesus came to save us, right, And so
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: I wish that poll would say that young men are
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: turning back to God and the Word and the Gods,
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: not to religion, because again my belief is religion screws
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: things up sometimes. But it's nice to see that young
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: men are taking this seriously and either finding their faith
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: or returning to their faith.
• 49:13
  Speaker 12: Jackson, let me give you a positive that's not included
• 49:17
  Speaker 12: in that. Yes, young men are coming back to faith.
• 49:19
  Speaker 12: But here's the positive. Here's what we know from over
• 49:23
  Speaker 12: one hundred years of surveys. When a husband gives his
• 49:28
  Speaker 12: life to Christ, there's a ninety percent chance that the
• 49:33
  Speaker 12: wife and the children will also be followers of Christ.
• 49:37
  Speaker 12: If the husband is a follower of Jesus, ninety percent
• 49:40
  Speaker 12: chance the rest of the household will be. Now, if
• 49:43
  Speaker 12: the wife is and the husband is not, there's like
• 49:46
  Speaker 12: a twenty percent chance that the husband will come to
• 49:48
  Speaker 12: faith in Christ if the wife is the first one
• 49:51
  Speaker 12: to be a follower of Jesus. So it's a vastly
• 49:53
  Speaker 12: different thing. These young men listen to me. These young
• 49:57
  Speaker 12: men who are going to church so irving God, you
• 50:00
  Speaker 12: know what they're going to do one day, They're going
• 50:02
  Speaker 12: to get married. There's a ninety percent chance that their
• 50:06
  Speaker 12: wives and their children are also going to follow Jesus
• 50:10
  Speaker 12: because they are the first ones in the house. That's
• 50:14
  Speaker 12: why this is bigger than what people I You know,
• 50:16
  Speaker 12: young guys are coming back to church. That's wonderful. They
• 50:19
  Speaker 12: don't realize when the husband is the first one to
• 50:22
  Speaker 12: give his life to Christ in the household, there's a
• 50:25
  Speaker 12: ninety percent more likelihood the wife and the children do
• 50:28
  Speaker 12: as well. Let's generational shift in the country.
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: That's the key right there. We need that generational shift.
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: And again, if the dad goes and they got two
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: plus kids, you know, all of a sudden, you got
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: three or four more people who are now becoming Christian
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: young believers. I'm going to end on another positive note
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: because this was a real good news segment. Arc of
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: the Covenant's final resting place pinpointed by archaeologists. How about
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: this and now a fresh search begins tomorrow. I'm actually
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: going to feature I believe the archaeologists are one of
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: the archaeologists that have been on this dig trying to
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: find the arc of the Covenant. I mean, there are
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: so many historical Biblical sites overseas that have come back
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: to the forefront thanks to Christians and Jews working together
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: to preserve these holy lands. And every time you find
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: another site, it just hopefully will re solidify that God
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: is real, Jesus was real, and y'all better start repenting
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: and getting.
• 51:28
  Speaker 12: Right with the Lord.
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: Jackson.
• 51:31
  Speaker 12: You know, I always say this, the more they dig,
• 51:34
  Speaker 12: the more they prove the authenticity of the Bible. So
• 51:38
  Speaker 12: the more archaeologists dig, the more they prove. And I'll
• 51:41
  Speaker 12: tell you we have a great Congresswoman Anna Pauline I Luna,
• 51:44
  Speaker 12: who has actually talked about this quite a bit on
• 51:47
  Speaker 12: Joe Rogan's podcast and some other platforms, and which I
• 51:50
  Speaker 12: find encouraging that we have a politician in d C
• 51:53
  Speaker 12: talking about these things. And so, yes, archaeology does not
• 51:58
  Speaker 12: disprove the Bible. Archaeology actually reiterates and proves exactly what
• 52:03
  Speaker 12: the Bible is saying. It reassures my faith. So, man, Dan,
• 52:07
  Speaker 12: great things are happening right now. Be encouraged, everybody.
• 52:10
