• 0:10
  Speaker 1: We all just watched what happened in Brazil. A socialist
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: president pulled off a comeback, miraculous comeback against impossible odds.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: And his former personal lawyer, now sitting on Brazil's high court,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: ordered polling places that hadn't yet closed to stay open
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: two extra hours, benefiting Lula. A decision handed down a
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: minute after polls were supposed to be closed. THE MOMENT
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: THE RESULT CAME IN, SOCIALISTS AND THE FAR LEFT, AND
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE ANYMORE, IS THERE, RUSHED FROM ALL
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: OVER THE WORLD TO CONGRATULATE LULA. LEGITIMACY QUESTIONS AND ALL
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: TIM WALLS CALLED IT A WORLDWIDE WIN. GAVIN NEWSOM'S PRESS
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: OFFICE SENT ITS CONGRATULATIONS. Alex Soros posted, Lula, Lula, Lula.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: And within hours, Lula's Brazil went after the man who
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: lost on election night. A congressman from Lula's own party posted, quote,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Flavio's passport locked up tomorrow. That same night, Justice Alexandre
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: de Moraes canceled all of Flavio Bolsonaro's passports, including his
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: diplomatic passport, ordered him to hand them over within 24 hours,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: barred him from leaving the country. That's the same justice
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: who ordered his father, Jair Bolsonaro, to give up his
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: passport in 24 before the conviction and 27-year sentence. Every
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: American should be paying attention because the socialists want to
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: do the same thing here. They already dipped their toe
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: in after 2020 with indictments and state and federal prosecutions,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: civil lawsuits against Trump, an impeachment trial of a man
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: who had already left office, lockdowns, mandates. And the people
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: asking for your vote this time are even worse. Add
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: open anti-Semitism, foreign terror ties, foreign allegiances, and even more
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: aggressive versions of everything we saw in 2020. They've already
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: threatened it. Illinois Governor J.P. Pritzker told the New York
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Times in March that Democrats should hold Trump officials and
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: federal agents who've broken the law accountable. And when he
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: was asked whether that meant criminal prosecution, he said, criminally prosecuted,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: civilly prosecuted, whatever it is that we can do. Down
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: in Florida, the Democrat Senate nominee Angie Nixon, a card-carrying
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: member of the Democratic Socialists of America, said, I WANT
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: HER LOCKED UP AND PUNISHED IN JAIL, HER, MEANING HER
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: REPUBLICAN OPPONENT, SENATOR ASHLEY MOODY, WHO HAS NOT BEEN CHARGED
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: WITH ANY CRIMES OTHER THAN RUNNING FOR OFFICE. AND LOOK
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: AT WHAT THEY'RE TELLING YOU RIGHT NOW. It just put
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: out a new version of this ad for Abdul El-Sayed,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: the Democrat running against Mike Rogers for Senate in Michigan.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Look.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: You're gonna have to.
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: Put those eggs back.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: They don't like eggs anymore? No, they like eggs, but we.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: Have to set that $ 7 aside for killing Palestinians.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: What?
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, don't we give Israel $ 4 billion a year anyways?
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and now we're giving them another $ 26 billion. Why
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: the do we have to pay for all of this?
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Don't cuss at me. Why does Mike Rogers care so
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: much about what Israelis want and so little about what
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: you want?
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: Mike Rogers is for they-them.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Abdul El-Sayed is for you.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: The head of the Anti-Defamation League, Jonathan Greenblatt, called it
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: a case study in anti-Semitism. Even Michigan Democrat Haley Stevens said,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: this type of fear-mongering about Israel is wrong. Uygur's response
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: to his critics was, if you think this ad is anti-Semitic,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: you've lost your mind. And El-Said's campaign says the ad
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: is not affiliated in any way with them. But he
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: hasn't condemned it. It's like he hasn't condemned Hassan Piker.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Over in Nebraska, independent Dan Osborne, running with Democratic support,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: put out an ad saying, Senator Pete Ricketts sides with
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: AIPAC and defense contractors. complete with an image of rickets
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: grinning in front of a hospital for orphans and puppies,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: getting blown up, look.
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: When it comes to war, Pete Ricketts knows whose side
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: he's on. AIPAC and defense contractors. Lockheed Martin and Northrop
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: Grumman both donated to him. But that's not all. AIPAC
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: donated $ 390, 000 to Pete Ricketts. The Senate voted on whether
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: Congress should have a say in the Iran war. Pete
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: Ricketts didn't show up. It failed by one. When it
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: came back, he voted no. Pete Ricketts, delivering to the
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: military-industrial complex.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Now, did you see this? Town Hall's Kyle Olson obtained
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: hidden camera video of Gavin Newsom recorded by an undercover
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: journalist in New Hampshire in the middle of this month.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: And listen to where Newsom says, admits his party is heading.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: I think it's, I mean, I think.
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: No one is arguing to manage the status quo or
• 5:27
  Speaker 6: fail more efficiently.
• 5:29
  Speaker 7: So I think that the DSA, the energy and the
• 5:34
  Speaker 7: desire and demand for bold change, non-incremental change.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Is very much going to be dominant.
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: I mean, that's going to be mainstream democratically.
• 5:43
  Speaker 8: Absolutely.
• 5:44
  Speaker 9: No question in my mind.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: You can't play in the margins anymore.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: The whole system's broken. It's completely unbalanced.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: And we can't manage to define it.
• 5:56
  Speaker 10: We have to completely reimagine it.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Not even hiding it anymore. That's the man widely expected
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: to run for the Democratic nomination for president. And the
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: DSA on Sunday published a statement titled, Parabens Lula and Brazil.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: It congratulated Lula with tremendous pride. Declared. that it stands
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: in solidarity with our comrades. And Lula's Workers' Party boasted
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: that it sent people to accompany both rounds of Brazil's
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: election and said it hopes that work, quote, may serve
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: as the base for a political alternative to the current
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: state of U.S.-Brazil relations. They even go so far as
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: to accuse Trump of interfering in the election through politically
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: motivated tariffs. Then they accused Meta of manipulating social media. Meta,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: that's Facebook, the same company that censored conservatives for years.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: And listen to how they talk about the dictatorship 90
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: miles south of Florida. Last night, Florida, Congressman Byron Donalds,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: a Republican nominee for governor, posted this clip of that
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: same Angie Nixon being asked by CBS whether Cuba is
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: a dictatorship.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: Look.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Do you consider that Cuba is a dictatorship?
• 7:15
  Speaker 9: You know, that is what people have told me. I
• 7:18
  Speaker 9: have never been to Cuba, and so I will have
• 7:20
  Speaker 9: to take their word for it. And I know you're
• 7:22
  Speaker 9: going to go into this, how do I feel things
• 7:25
  Speaker 9: need to be handled with Cuban relations? Right now, this
• 7:29
  Speaker 9: decades-long failed embargo has yet to change over the regime.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: She's going to have to take his word for it.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: And then talks about the failed embargo. Make no mistake, folks,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: they are not hiding any of this anymore. They're telling
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: you exactly who they cheer for and exactly who they
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: want locked up. In Brazil, the man who lost was
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: barred from leaving his own country within hours of the result.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: The people cheering get the power here? What happens to
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: the next candidate that runs against him? You saw what
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: they were willing to do to President Trump. What happens
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: when you end up on the wrong side of their prosecutors?
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: And with one week until the midterm elections here, are
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: you willing to roll the dice to find out Still
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: ahead tonight, Brazil's election court confirmed the result at 9.09
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Sunday night. And at 9.16, federal police signed a 16-page
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: request to take Flavio Bolsonaro's passports away. Seven minutes by
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Monday's Brazil stock market had its worst day since the pandemic.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: What is going to happen next with Brazil? Is Flavio
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: on his way to the United States to save himself
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: from Lula's prosecution? Paulo Figueiro joins me next with more.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Then James Comey charged for a third time under the
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: same law he once told Congress is broken when classified
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: information is leaked to the press. And later, Iranian officials
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: tell New York Times that Americans are fair game. Stay
• 9:13

  Speaker 1: Breaking tonight, Flavio Bolsonaro. ESCAPES PROSECUTION, HEADS TO THE UNITED STATES.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: THIS AFTER A MIRACULOUS WIN BY LULA ON AN ELECTION TONIGHT.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: WE TALKED ABOUT IT YESTERDAY. BOLSONERO DIDN'T CONCEDE. HE SAID
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: HE WANTED THE ELECTION ANNULLED. BUT IT DIDN'T MATTER. REGARDLESS
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: OF WHAT HAPPENED ON ELECTION NIGHT, LULA HAD HIS MOVE
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: READY BEFORE THE COUNT WAS EVEN CALLED.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: OGLOBO OBTAINED
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: THE FEDERAL POLICE REQUEST TO SEIZE FLAVIO'S PASSPORTS. THE ELECTION
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: COURT CONFIRMED THE RESULT AT 9.09 THAT NIGHT, BRAZIL TIME.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: POLICE SIGNED THEIR 16-PAGE REQUEST AT 9.16, SEVEN MINUTES AFTER.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: THEY HAD IT PREPARED. JUSTICE ALEXANDRE DE MORAES SIGNED OFF
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: THAT SAME NIGHT WITHOUT CONSULTING BRAZIL'S PROSECUTOR GENERAL. Flavio Bolsonaro
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: said police were waiting at his father's door on Monday
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: morning to serve him on the street. They were taking
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: his passports so he couldn't leave the country. Brazil's Gazeta
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: de Povo called it pure revenge of the winners against
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: the losers with the collaboration of a morally compromised judge.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: This month, the same justice also canceled Eduardo's passports as well.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Flavio missed this morning's deadline to turn in his passports.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Federal police canceled the passports. Flavio's lawyer said they couldn't
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: reach him. And Reuters, the New York Post, CNN, they
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: all reported that Flavio left Brazil. Now he's going to
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: seek asylum in the United States. And congressmen from Lula's
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: party have now asked Marais to order his arrest and
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: an Interpol red notice. But with a candidate having to
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: flee the country to escape persecution just for running against
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: the socialist dictator of Brazil. Who's to say that the
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: socialists slowly taking over the Democratic Party won't see this
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: and think they can get away with the exact same
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: thing here if they take power in the midterms next week?
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: And with Brazil's right told to just stay home and
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Flavio having to flee, who can fight for Flavio? Joining
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: me now to break this all down and what comes next,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Paulo Figueiredo, journalist, host of The Paulo Figueiredo Show, and
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: grandson of former Brazilian president, Chao Figueiredo. Welcome back, David Pollak, PRIMETIME.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: I have been watching what was happening in Brazil. I
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: watched on election night yesterday. I covered the miraculous, miraculous
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: victory of Lula against all odds, statistically impossible win. His friend,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: his lawyer, extending polls in just certain locations for two hours,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: the insane shift in trajectory. And then, of course, 16
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: minutes later, a warrant to seize Flavio's passports to keep
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: him from leaving the country. And now reports that he
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: was able, thankfully, to flee, to escape from Lula's prosecution
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: and de Moraes' prosecution. Now, we don't know if he's
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: in the United States yet. That's what the reports say.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: What is the latest out of Brazil, my friend?
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: Oh, it's very sad. Not only the whole way and
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: everything that happened on the election night, you know, it
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: was like what you've been covering, the way that they
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: issued the former lawyer of the Workers' Party received a
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: request from his office. partner in the law firm, former
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: partner in his law firm, on behalf of the party
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: he used to work for, given in order to extend
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: the duration of the voting. Also, President Trump, even President
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: Trump talked about how bad it was, the extension was.
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: And also, there's a bunch of of unexplainable things. The
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: turnout was unprecedented in areas that usually do not have
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: high turnouts. I mean, some of the things we're now
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: learning that in hundreds of different voting sessions, Flavio Bolsonaro
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: miraculously had zero votes and some stuff that the U.S.
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: audience is familiarized with. I have to remind them that
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: it's worse in Brazil than it is in the United
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: States because in Brazil, the electoral system is fully electronic.
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: And fully centralized with no paper trail. So what happens
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: is that you go to a place and you type
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: the number of your candidate. It sends to a machine.
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: A machine sends to a central computer to which very
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: few people have access to. And then you just hope
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: and pray that the results are accurate. Correct. And remember,
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: the government has a strong influence over these courts. So
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: it's very much like Venezuela in several senses. So this
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: is how Lula miraculously, for the first time in the
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: history of the Republic of Brazil, was able to lose
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: on the first round, but win on the second round
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: by a margin that was unbelievable. And even with the polls, remember,
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: all the polls said I believe out of 18 polls,
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: only two said Lula was ahead. The other said Flavin
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: was ahead. And normally the polls are inaccurate because they
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: underestimate the conservative candidate like they did on the first
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: round and on every single race in the country. So
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: that's what happened. The other thing that's happening is Immediately.
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: You said 16 minutes, but I think it was seven minutes.
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: I was doing my show now, and it was seven
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: minutes after the Superior Electoral Court proclaimed the result of
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: the election. An order seizing Flavio Bolsonaro's passport was issued
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: by Justice Alexandre Moraes, and he had to give his
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: passport away today. And the reports are that he left
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: Brazil by a different border and came to the United States.
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: So I can't talk much about the actual situation in
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: order to protect Flavio Bolsonaro's safety until he's 100% safe
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: and well-established. But I can say that he definitely... had
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: to leave Brazil because of the situation. And it's very sad.
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: How do you call, Dave? How do you call a
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: country that whoever loses an election has to leave and
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: has his passport seized? I don't know how you call
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: that in an election that is tainted with so many
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: strong and substantiated allegations.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, and you know, this is really a warning
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: and a wake-up call to the United States. We saw
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: this here. You and I, I think the very first
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: time we talked, it was leading up to the 2024 election.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: It was actually right after the 2024 election. And we
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: drew parallels to what happened to Jair Bolsonaro And what
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: happened in the United States with President Trump after 2020?
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: They tried to put him in jail. They impeached him
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: after he was president. They wanted to keep him from
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: being able to run for president. They indicted him four
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: different times. They tried to bankrupt him. And then you
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: look at a place like Brazil. They did the same
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: thing to Lula's former political opponent. And then all eyes
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: were on Brazil for this election. And then what happens
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: to a senator from Brazil who dares to run against Lula?
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: They seize his passports within minutes after the election's over
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: just to really... to set a precedent, don't you dare
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: run against Lula. Now, I hope he did flee. I
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: hope he ends up in the United States. I hope
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: he'll get asylum. But this is a warning for Americans
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: because look at just seven days in the United States.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: Look at who wants to be elected. The same Democratic
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: socialists who rushed to congratulate Lula. The man who's trying
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: to imprison his political opponents. They've threatened their own political
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: opponents here in the United States and they're congratulating Lula
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: for doing what he did. This is a fight that
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: we're going to have to fight here as well, because
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: if these same people win, they'll do the same thing
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: they're congratulating, right? They are.
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: And look, you have to think about it. The biggest
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: conservative movement in Brazil is the Bolsonaro-ism after Jair Bolsonaro, right?
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: It's the MAGA of Brazil. It's called Bolsonarism. Out of
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: the Bolsonaro family, we have right now Jair, the father,
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: former president, convicted to 27 years or life sentence in prison.
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: He's now serving his time in house arrest after he
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: almost died in regular prison. You have Eduardo Bolsonaro, his son,
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: former congressman, the most voted congressman of Brazil, been to
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: your show many times, right now living in the United
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: States in exile. And allegedly, you now have the former
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: candidate and senator of Brazil, Flávio Bolsonaro, also living in
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: the United States in exile. So America needs to be
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: aware that there's no other country that people can run
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: to other than America. So America needs to protect its
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: freedom because there's nowhere else to go. And you got
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: to think about it because it's the same people that
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: are doing this in Brazil. They are here in American
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: Democratic Party. So when I see people that have, oh,
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: I'm not voting this year because I'm mad with whatever
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: Trump did that person didn't like. I'm like, no, you
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: don't have that option. You're protecting the only safe haven
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: of freedom in the world. So if you can vote,
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: get your butt out and vote and vote. on Republicans
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: because Democrats are made of the same fabric of Lula
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: da Silva. That's why they support him. Lula da Silva
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: is heavily supported by the Democrats. You see no word
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: from Democrats about what's going on in Brazil. They actually
• 20:04
  Speaker 5: supported and congratulated Lula because they're on the same side.
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: Lula was elected, you've got to remember that, with a
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: strong influence from the Biden administration, all top officials, and
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: a shit ton of money from USAID. So, again, I
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: just I beg the American people to go and vote
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: on the midterms because the witch hunt they're doing against
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: Bolsonaro is exactly what they're going to try to do
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: when they control the Congress after the midterms with American conservatives.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: And you're exactly right. It's a stark warning. It's an
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: important warning. Americans need to listen up. This isn't about
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: gas prices. This is literally about a mentality of people
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: who we know what they'll do when they get power.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: I've warned and warned and warned. You only vote for
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: socialism once. And Brazil is showing us why that's true. Paulo,
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: thank you so much for being here. Listen, anybody who
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: wants to follow this that can understand Portuguese, watch Paulo's
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: podcast for all the latest. The information you're providing is
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: so important to the American people to see. Just seven
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: days here. Great warnings. Thank you for being here, my friend.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: And I'll talk to you again real soon.
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: Thanks for having me, Dave.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: Thank you. Coming up, James Comey, speaking of corruption, James
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Comey has been charged for a third time, two counts
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: under the Espionage Act over an alleged leak to the
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: New York Times in 2016. He calls it an appalling abuse.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: But in 2017, Congress asked him whether leaking classified information
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: to the press breaks the law. His answer, yes. Rob Knorr,
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: host of The Normal America Show, joins me right after this.
• 21:49

• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Last night, I told you accountability at the FBI was coming.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: And I've been talking for weeks saying, be patient. Yesterday,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: we said two of its former top officials charged with
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: lying to Congress. That was only the warm-up act because yesterday,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: a federal judge in Washington unsealed new charges against the
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: man who ran the FBI back then, Mr. James Comey.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: And here's how he took it.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: Well, they're back again. It would almost be funny if
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: it weren't such an appalling abuse of the Department of Justice,
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: one that we cannot become numb to. Nothing's changed with me.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: I'm still innocent. I'm still not afraid of these people.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: And I still believe in the independent federal judiciary.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: This is the third time in a little over a
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: year he's been charged. A judge tossed the first case
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: over how the prosecutor was appointed. That's on appeal. The
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: 8647 seashells case is still pending in North Carolina. This
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: one is under two counts under the Espionage Act, sharing
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: national defense information with someone not entitled to it and
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: conspiring to do it up to 10 years each. It
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: goes back to October 5th, 2016, when the New York
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: Times ran a story on government surveillance of Yahoo email
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: sourced to two unnamed officials. You know these anonymous sources.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: Prosecutors allege Comey directed staff to talk to the Times
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: reporter and thereby illegally transferred classified information. And a 2020
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: FBI memo says, declassified and posted last year by FBI
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: Director Kash Patel, says the bureau's own top lawyer was
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: one of those two sources. He said the order came
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: through Comey's chief of staff and he understood it came
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: from Comey himself. Comey knew the law in March 2017.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes asked him point blank look.
• 24:24
  Speaker 7: Does the unauthorized disclosure of classified information to the press
• 24:28
  Speaker 7: violate 18 USC 793, a section of the Espionage Act
• 24:33
  Speaker 7: that criminalizes improperly accessing, handling, or transmitting national defense information?
• 24:38
  Speaker 11: Yes.
• 24:40
  Speaker 7: Would an unauthorized disclosure of FISA-derived information to the press
• 24:44
  Speaker 7: violate 18 USC 798, a section of the Espionage Act
• 24:49
  Speaker 7: that criminalizes disclosure of information concerning the communication and intelligence
• 24:54
  Speaker 7: activities of the United States.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: Yes, in addition to being a breach of our trust
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: with the FISA court that oversees our use of those authorities.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: Section 793 is the same law prosecutors say he broke.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: Comey calls this an abuse. Look at the record from
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: his own FBI. His bureau opened Crossfire Hurricane, the investigation
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: into the Trump campaign in the summer of 2016. He
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: signed three of the four Carter Page surveillance applications, and
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: the inspector general found 17 significant errors and omissions in them.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: He admitted under oath that he had a friend share
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: one of his memos about the president with a reporter,
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: and the inspector general said he set a, quote, dangerous
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: example for 35,000 FBI employees. President Trump saw who Comey
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: was from the start, and he fired him. Last night,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: he was asked about this case.
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: Look. No, I don't know too much about it. I
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: just heard about it. Well, I think he's a dirty cop,
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: James Comey, but I know nothing about it. He's a
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: dirty cop.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: Prosecutors filed on October 5th, 10 years to the day
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: to beat the statute of limitations. Comey hasn't been indicted.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: His lawyers say prosecutors agreed to hold off on a
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: grand jury while Judge Trevor McFadden weighs his motion to dismiss. Look,
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: this is not retribution. It's accountability. The FBI holds the
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: most powerful surveillance tools in this country. If the man
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: at the top gets to decide which secrets leak and
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: which campaigns get watched, well, the rules don't apply. The
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: rules apply only to you. So will a grand jury
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: indict him? Once that hold runs out, will a Washington
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: judge let it go forward? AND WHO ARE THE OTHERS,
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: KNOWN AND UNKNOWN, PROSECUTORS SAY HE CONSPIRED WITH? IT'S GETTING
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: VERY INTERESTING, FOLKS. JOINING ME NOW, ROB NOOR, HOST OF
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: NORMAL AMERICA. ROB, WELCOME TO DAVID POLLACK PRIME TIME. LOOK,
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: YOU AND I WERE AT A DEBATE. IT JUST AIRED
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: LIKE A WEEK AGO. THE OTHER SIDE WAS SCREAMING AND CRYING,
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: WHERE'S THE ACCOUNTABILITY? And now two FBI, senior FBI officials
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: now have been arrested. James Comey, another superseding indictment on
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: top of all the other things they've been looking into.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: This is what we said was happening. It just takes time.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: What do you think?
• 27:21
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I absolutely agree. Look, it's very important. As you said,
• 27:24
  Speaker 10: this isn't retribution.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: It's accountability.
• 27:27
  Speaker 10: For me, it's weird to think this because it's been
• 27:29
  Speaker 10: such a crazy eight years. I think that the Russiagate
• 27:33
  Speaker 10: was the biggest political scandal in the history of this country.
• 27:36
  Speaker 10: If you go back to the benchmark of Watergate, you
• 27:39
  Speaker 10: can actually see that that was a couple of bumbling
• 27:42
  Speaker 10: fools in a hotel. Here we have the most powerful
• 27:45
  Speaker 10: investigative agency in the history of the world being weaponized
• 27:48
  Speaker 10: by Democrats to go after Russia.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: They're opponents.
• 27:52
  Speaker 10: And what we see is, as you said, 17 missteps,
• 27:54
  Speaker 10: including the FBI lied to the FISA court when they
• 27:57
  Speaker 10: said they talked to the primary subsource and he was truthful.
• 28:01
  Speaker 10: What they didn't tell him was that he was truthful
• 28:03
  Speaker 10: in saying it was basically all made up. James Comey
• 28:06
  Speaker 10: ran this show. He had agents that were talking about
• 28:08
  Speaker 10: how they wanted an insurance policy to stop Donald Trump.
• 28:12
  Speaker 10: Everything we've seen from a pattern of the FBI from
• 28:15
  Speaker 10: the time of James Comey when Trump came down that
• 28:18
  Speaker 10: escalator until now shows that they were using lawfare to
• 28:22
  Speaker 10: go after Trump. They were leaking like a sieve to
• 28:24
  Speaker 10: go after Trump. And Trump's been hamstringed for now going
• 28:27
  Speaker 10: on 12 years by these organizations. And it starts with
• 28:31
  Speaker 10: James Comey. His reputation and what he'll be remembered for
• 28:35
  Speaker 10: is leading the most corrupt institution in this country as
• 28:39
  Speaker 10: a weapon for the Democratic Party. And he's destroyed any
• 28:42
  Speaker 10: credibility that institution has.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think he's just another domino to fall.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is something Trump has been working on
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: literally since he was sworn in. Again, these things take time.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: We saw the rushed indictment against him and Fannie... Oh,
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: not Fannie Willis. They're all the same. Letitia James get
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: thrown out. And we don't want these things to get dismissed.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: We want them to stick. So you have to take time.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: You have to make sure... You're buttoning up everything. You
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: have to make sure it can survive a motion to
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: dismiss because the last thing you want is the left saying, oh,
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: he's weaponizing the government. It is retribution. We need to
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: have indictments that stick because we want justice. We want accountability.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: And the worst thing you can do if you're trying
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: to get accountability is indict people, have those charges dismissed
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: with prejudice, and then you can't do anything again. They
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: go on TV and brag about what they did, and
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: it emboldens the next generation of corrupt cops. And so
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: that's why it's so important we get this right. Now,
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: I think more indictments, more charges, I think more investigations
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: are going to be ONGOING. ACCOUNTABILITY IS COMING. BUT THIS SHOWS,
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: THIS SHOWS EVERYBODY WITHOUT A SHADOW OF Trump's own FBI
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: was during Trump's first term and how important it is
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: that we reform the FBI. Now, of course, as I
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: always said, I think reform comes from the top down.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: A fish rots from the top down, especially in government.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: So you have to reform the leadership and then you
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: reform the FBI as a whole. We had a former
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: FBI supervisory special agent on yesterday who basically said the
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: FBI is filled with great people. There's some bad apples
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: that got promoted through for political purposes. And we're rooting
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: those out. So I think we're moving in the right direction, Rob, right? Yeah,
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think you're absolutely right.
• 30:19
  Speaker 10: It is unfortunate that all my adult life, I'm 42,
• 30:23
  Speaker 10: my adult life, I've watched corruption from these institutions. When
• 30:26
  Speaker 10: we finally get a guy that in my area of
• 30:28
  Speaker 10: the world, rural Pennsylvania, that we supported in Donald Trump,
• 30:32
  Speaker 10: it seems like all of a sudden, all of these
• 30:34
  Speaker 10: things were weaponized against him. For example, I can accept
• 30:38
  Speaker 10: if we're going to have an equal standard and be
• 30:41
  Speaker 10: aggressive going after a president and their administrators. Take far-up uses,
• 30:45
  Speaker 10: failing to register as a foreign lobbyist. Well, it's one
• 30:47
  Speaker 10: of the worst-kept secrets in Washington that this is rampant,
• 30:51
  Speaker 10: that there are people on all sides, law firms, lawyers,
• 30:54
  Speaker 10: et cetera, that are coordinating and basically lobbying for foreign
• 30:58
  Speaker 10: entities without registering. Now, James Comey and the FBI decided
• 31:02
  Speaker 10: that they were going to aggressively go after Paul Manafort.
• 31:04
  Speaker 10: I guess it was the Mueller report that came afterwards.
• 31:07
  Speaker 10: They go after Manafort for this, and yet in the
• 31:09
  Speaker 10: indictment it says he worked with Group 1 and Group 2.
• 31:12
  Speaker 10: Group 2 was the Podesta Group, led by John Podesta,
• 31:16
  Speaker 10: who was in the exact same position, campaign manager of
• 31:20
  Speaker 10: Hillary's team, as Manafort was as Trump's team. Of course,
• 31:23
  Speaker 10: that indictment showed that he was working in 2013. This
• 31:26
  Speaker 10: was before Trump was even in politics. But who was
• 31:29
  Speaker 10: in politics? Well, Hillary Clinton would have been Secretary of State.
• 31:32
  Speaker 10: I wonder who they were lobbying to. Anyways, the point
• 31:35
  Speaker 10: being that we could see that this double standard has
• 31:38
  Speaker 10: been employed over and over. Crimes that have been committed
• 31:41
  Speaker 10: by the Democrats are made up about Trump and they
• 31:44
  Speaker 10: investigate those. So I understand the frustration of people saying,
• 31:47
  Speaker 10: we want accountability. We want these people that weaponized our
• 31:51
  Speaker 10: institutions to be held accountable.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: But you're absolutely right. This doesn't mean that we could
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: do it flippantly.
• 31:56
  Speaker 10: You also have to keep in mind that the average
• 31:58
  Speaker 10: person doesn't look into these cases as much as me
• 32:01
  Speaker 10: and you. And if they see a bunch of exonerations,
• 32:03
  Speaker 10: they'll start to become sort of angry with the process
• 32:07
  Speaker 10: in that regard and think that the narrative that the
• 32:09
  Speaker 10: Democrats are spinning that Trump is just vindictive is true.
• 32:12
  Speaker 10: So we are starting to see results. We have the
• 32:14
  Speaker 10: first indictment of Antifa that came out of Dallas there
• 32:17
  Speaker 10: last year for them attacking ICE officers. We saw that
• 32:20
  Speaker 10: there are indictments that are coming up in Minneapolis where
• 32:23
  Speaker 10: they were using Telegram to coordinate attacks against ICE. The
• 32:26
  Speaker 10: case still goes in Florida, which is looking at sort
• 32:29
  Speaker 10: of a RICO type case that John Brennan and others
• 32:31
  Speaker 10: that were higher ups in the intel community to disenfranchise
• 32:34
  Speaker 10: voters by using their station to use lawfare to go
• 32:37
  Speaker 10: after Donald Trump, including spying on him. So, yes, I
• 32:41
  Speaker 10: know that it's easy to get impatient with these things,
• 32:44
  Speaker 10: but we're seeing more results on accountability that I think
• 32:46
  Speaker 10: that most people thought would be possible within the first
• 32:49
  Speaker 10: two years of Trump's second term here.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: And it's such a great point you made because you're
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: exactly right. If Democrats take the House in next week,
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: which I hope doesn't happen, but we have to prepare
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: for the possibility. AND IF THEY GET ELECTED IN 2028,
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: THEY ARE GOING TO TURN AROUND AND WEAPONIZE THIS GOVERNMENT AGAIN.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: THEY ARE BRAGGING ABOUT HOW DESPERATELY THEY WANT TO PUT
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: THEIR POLITICAL OPPONENTS IN JAIL. IF WE ARE NOT CAREFUL
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: AND IT LOOKS LIKE WE ARE ENGAGING IN LAWFARE, THEN
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: WHAT IS THE ARGUMENT WHEN THEY START ENGAGING IN LAWFARE,
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: WHICH IS WHY IT IS IMPORTANT WE GET THESE THINGS RIGHT,
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: WHICH IS WHY IT IS IMPORTANT WE EXPOSE THESE THINGS.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: THERE ARE A LOT OF VICTIMS HERE. And accountability needs
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: to come for those people, too. Rob, great takes. Great
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: having you on the show. I can't wait to have
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: you back on real soon, my friend. Always a pleasure.
• 33:37
  Speaker 10: Thanks for having me.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: Thank you. Still ahead, the director of national intelligence warns
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: that Iran is plotting against Americans and it has reached
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: advanced stages. Iranian officials told the New York Times that
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: Americans are, quote, fair game.
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: And U.S.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: Officials say Iran might try to kill officials on American soil.
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: The president says it's getting to be decision time. And later,
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: Nicki Minaj flew to a Trump rally on Air Force One.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: The president complimented her from stage, and his critics are
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: calling it, well, a scandal. She wasn't offended. We got
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: more on that later. Don't go anywhere.

  Speaker 1: Last night, we talked about Iran's missing uranium and where
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: it is and who's watching it. But tonight, the question is,
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: who Iran is watching? The answer is us. On Friday,
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton sent Secretary of State
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: Marco Rubio a memo first obtained by Axios saying, quote,
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: the lethal plotting efforts by the Iranians against U.S. citizens
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: have reached advanced stages in both the Middle East and
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: certain other countries. AGES. THAT'S NOT CHATTER. THAT'S A WARNING.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: THIS IS PART OF WHY OUR STATE DEPARTMENT PULLED FAMILIES
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: OUT OF SAUDI ARABIA AND CUT STAFF IN JORDAN, LEBANON, KATAR,
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: AND THE UAE. A U.S. OFFICIAL TOLD AXIOS THE REASON?
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: IRANIAN TERROR PLOTS. AMERICANS SERVING OVERSEAS ARE NOW TARGETS. AND
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: ONE OFFICIAL TOLD THE TIMES THERE'S SOME EVIDENCE IRAN HAS
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: OPERATIVES INSIDE OUR OWN COUNTRY WHO ARE, QUOTE, NOT JUST
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: SIMPLY IRANIAN NATIONALS. The president is weighing his answer. CNN
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: reports our forces could strike within 96 hours of his order.
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: Here's President Trump on Fox News this Sunday.
• 36:06
  Speaker 11: So what happens is I have a decision to make.
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: Do I finish it off, which would be very easy
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: to do, or do I make a deal?
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: That's a decision.
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: Getting a big decision time, Larry.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: Now, Israelis voted today, their first national election since October 7th.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: With the highest afternoon turnout on record, President Trump endorsed
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: Prime Minister Netanyahu twice, telling Israelis, we have to finish
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: the job that we started. Final Channel 12 poll had
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: former Army Chief Gadi Issanat's Yishar party at 23 seats,
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: Likud at 21 seats. And neither block at the 61
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: it takes to govern. The exit polls are out, but
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: they're not the final word. The official count runs to Thursday,
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: and we'll break it all down tomorrow. So if Tehran
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: is already hunting Americans, what does a deal actually buy us?
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: And if Israel's next prime minister isn't Bibi Netanyahu, who
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: finishes the job? Joining me now is the chief intelligence officer, editorius,
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: Stefano Rittendale. Welcome back, David Pollack, Prime Time. First, let's
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: take the Iranian kill list, essentially. How much of a
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: threat is this to the United States? And is this, again,
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: just yet another reason why Trump is so insistent upon
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: finishing the job with Iran?
• 37:23
  Speaker 11: Well, David, first, thank you so much for having me
• 37:25
  Speaker 11: on again. Look, the reports from the Director of National
• 37:29
  Speaker 11: Intelligence about this kill list targeting U.S. diplomats in the
• 37:32
  Speaker 11: Middle East follows a similar pattern that we've seen Iran do, frankly,
• 37:36
  Speaker 11: for decades, right? I mean, we've seen them specifically target
• 37:40
  Speaker 11: Israeli citizens and personnel around the world. There was a
• 37:45
  Speaker 11: famous terrorist attack in Bulgaria. We've seen it in Thailand.
• 37:49
  Speaker 11: We've seen the Iranians really conduct assassination plots targeting Israel
• 37:53
  Speaker 11: and U.S.
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: Interests.
• 37:54
  Speaker 11: And this latest one is no different. The key questions
• 37:58
  Speaker 11: that we obviously would have, that I would have, that
• 38:01
  Speaker 11: we won't know right now because the information is classified,
• 38:03
  Speaker 11: is when they say advanced planning, what does that specifically entail?
• 38:08
  Speaker 11: In other words, are we talking about the Iranians that
• 38:11
  Speaker 11: have recruited, let's say, host nation citizens to conduct these attacks?
• 38:14
  Speaker 11: Are these operatives from the IRGC could force that have
• 38:17
  Speaker 11: been as part of this organization for decades Are these
• 38:21
  Speaker 11: sleeper cells? Are these members of Hezbollah, their proxy networks? Obviously,
• 38:24
  Speaker 11: there's a lot of unknowns, but that does show the
• 38:26
  Speaker 11: sophistication of the IRGC in Iran and their terror plots.
• 38:30
  Speaker 11: And we have a history of them conducting terrorist attacks,
• 38:33
  Speaker 11: as well as utilizing drones and ballistic missiles to achieve
• 38:35
  Speaker 11: their objectives. So obviously, this is something that the State
• 38:38
  Speaker 11: Department is taking very seriously and is warning American citizens
• 38:41
  Speaker 11: and American diplomats with evacuations.
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: But I think the U.S.
• 38:44
  Speaker 11: Intelligence community and law enforcement are very well prepared to
• 38:47
  Speaker 11: thwart these terrorist attacks, as we've shown in the past.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: So, and again, this is why a lot of when
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: people argue, oh, Iran's no threat to the United States,
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: this whole thing is ridiculous. You know, there are so
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: many different threats from Iran, not just terror proxies, not
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: just what you just mentioned. I mean, it's just Iran
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: has been REALLY JUST SUCH A PAIN. I MEAN, AND
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: WEAKENING THE IRGC, AND EVEN IF, I'M NOT SAYING WE
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: REPLACE THE REGIME, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE END GOAL
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: IS THERE BESIDES WEAKENING THEM INTO SUBMISSION AND MAKING SURE
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: THEY CAN'T BUILD A NUCLEAR WEAPON, BUT CERTAINLY WE CAN'T
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: DO WHAT PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIONS DID AND MAKE THEM STRONGER BY
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: GIVING THEM CASH AND UNLOCKING ALL THEIR ASSETS. WE HAVE
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: TO WEAKEN THEM TO THE POINT WHERE THEY CAN'T CARRY
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: OUT THEIR DEVIOUS PLANS. Now, let's pivot real quick to Israel,
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: because a lot of people, of course, claim that the
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: United States is helping Israel in all of this. And
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: Israel has been a partner in our offensive against Iran.
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: How significant are these elections to FINISHING THE JOB IN IRAN,
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: BECAUSE TRUMP SAYS HE'S WAITING UNTIL AFTER THE MIDTERMS. MIDTERMS
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: ARE A WEEK AWAY. ISRAEL'S VOTING NOW. COULD THE ELECTION
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: THERE POTENTIALLY CHANGE PLANS HERE FOR US AT HOME?
• 39:52
  Speaker 11: YOU KNOW, IF I MAY JUST QUICKLY END ON THIS
• 39:54
  Speaker 11: POINT BEFORE I TRANSITION TO YOUR QUESTION THAT TIES IN ISRAEL.
• 39:57
  Speaker 11: In 2025, there was another advanced Iranian assassination plot based
• 40:01
  Speaker 11: out of their embassy in Caracas before Maduro was removed
• 40:04
  Speaker 11: that targeted the Israeli ambassador in Mexico. So that shows
• 40:06
  Speaker 11: the Iranian threat in the Western Hemisphere that the U.S.,
• 40:10
  Speaker 11: with assistance of the Mexican government, was actually able to
• 40:12
  Speaker 11: thwart that was planned out of Venezuela. But to your
• 40:16
  Speaker 11: point about the elections, I mean, these are very significant
• 40:18
  Speaker 11: elections that are going on in Israel. But one of
• 40:20
  Speaker 11: the key questions that I would have is we have
• 40:23
  Speaker 11: to see how the blocks end. And as you said,
• 40:25
  Speaker 11: the opposition and Netanyahu, there was very interesting reporting that
• 40:30
  Speaker 11: indicates that the Trump administration might be interested in keeping
• 40:34
  Speaker 11: Benjamin Netanyahu as prime minister, but him entering into a
• 40:38
  Speaker 11: coalition with the opposition and basically removing kind of the
• 40:42
  Speaker 11: far right elements that have right now really assured that
• 40:45
  Speaker 11: Benjamin Netanyahu stays in power, right? And so this grand
• 40:48
  Speaker 11: coalition government, removing kind of these far-right elements of the
• 40:52
  Speaker 11: Israeli political system right now. It's very hard to see
• 40:55
  Speaker 11: that right now the opposition would acquiesce to that. Obviously,
• 40:58
  Speaker 11: there's a lot of bad blood between the opposition and Netanyahu.
• 41:01
  Speaker 11: But I think Netanyahu might be much more receptive of
• 41:04
  Speaker 11: that option with the backing of the United States. The
• 41:06
  Speaker 11: key question is, does the opposition do this? But to
• 41:08
  Speaker 11: the broader question of, you know, how does Mike translate
• 41:12
  Speaker 11: for military operations against Iran? Look, the Israeli political system
• 41:15
  Speaker 11: is a very convoluted, to say the least. We might
• 41:18
  Speaker 11: complain about the United States. I welcome our viewers to
• 41:21
  Speaker 11: jump in into the Israeli Knesset and try to understand
• 41:24
  Speaker 11: how that works. Regardless, it's going to take time for
• 41:28
  Speaker 11: that coalition government to kind of take place. And similar
• 41:31
  Speaker 11: to the United States, right, let's look at the November election.
• 41:33
  Speaker 11: If the Democratic win or the Republican wins, the new
• 41:36
  Speaker 11: Congress doesn't come into office until January. You can look
• 41:39
  Speaker 11: outside of a complete blowout, the same situation playing with
• 41:42
  Speaker 11: the Knesset in Israel. That is time that the U.S.
• 41:45
  Speaker 11: and Israel can leverage to say, well, we're going to
• 41:47
  Speaker 11: conduct our military operations now that the elections are done
• 41:50
  Speaker 11: to meet our overall objectives, whatever it may be, regime
• 41:52
  Speaker 11: change all the way to degrading the nuclear capability or
• 41:55
  Speaker 11: the terrorist proxy. So the elections are significant. It will
• 41:59
  Speaker 11: have a huge impact on 2027. But between now and then,
• 42:02
  Speaker 11: a lot can happen, and the U.S. and Israeli military
• 42:05
  Speaker 11: are quickly positioned to conduct operations in no time.
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think we're going to see shock and awe
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: the day after– On November 4th, I think Iran can
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: set their watch to it. Maybe that gets them to
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: the negotiation table, and I think they'll be looking back
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: at that memorandum of understanding, hoping to go back to it. Stefano,
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: always great to have you on. Thank you so much
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: for being here, my friend.
• 42:24
  Speaker 11: David, thank you so much for having me.
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: Coming up, Nicki Minaj flew to a Trump rally on
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: Air Force One. The president complimented her from the stage,
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: but there are some critics that are not too happy
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: with his comments. But Nicki's own reaction was, thank you,
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: President Trump. You know, some people are upset on her behalf.
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: She seems to want no part of it. We break
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: it all down next.
• 42:54

• 43:31
  Speaker 1: Back in 2014, rapper Nicki Minaj released a song called Anaconda.
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: Everybody knows the song. Bill Port reported the video set
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: a Vivo record, 19.6 million views in 24 hours. And
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: the whole song was a tribute to her, you know, derriere.
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: The culture called that empowerment. Then on Sunday in Port Huron, Michigan,
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: the president of the United States made a, let's just
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: say an observation. Background is this. Nicki flew to the
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: rally on Air Force One. Trump was retelling a story
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: about Senator John Husted when he spotted Nicki in the crowd.
• 44:10
  Speaker 5: Look.
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: By the way, I looked at one hell of a
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: beautiful ass before Nicki Minaj. That's hard to miss. That's
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: stand up. That's hard to miss. Okay, I'm going to
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: get back to my story. I hope Nikki wasn't insulted,
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: but we love Nikki. She's been with us for.
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: A long time. According to Billboard, Nikki stood up, put
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: a finger in the air, did a spin and a wave,
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: and then she took the stage, led the crowd in
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: We Love Trump chant, and told him this.
• 44:57
  Speaker 4: So, President Trump, it is an honor to stand with
• 45:00
  Speaker 4: you every single time, and I will continue.
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: To support you forever and ever. If you run again,
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: I will support you again.
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: That night, in a post on X praising Republican candidates,
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: she wrote, Thank you, President Trump. We appreciate you. The
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: one woman withstanding to be offended said, Thank you. And
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: she's been in his corner a while. In January, at
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: a Treasury Department event, Nikki called herself probably the president's
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: number one fan and said, the hate actually motivates me
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: to support him more. Now, to be fair, the comment
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: did raise some eyebrows, even from her own side, but
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: nothing Trump said was as awful as what we heard
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: from the hateful left. So who's upset? Take Tara Setmeyer.
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: A former Republican who runs the Seneca Project, she posted
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: that Nicki's backside is, quote, fake, and called Trump a pig.
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: On Don Lemon's show Monday, journalist Jemele Hill called Nicki
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: a political prostitute. Then she went further.
• 46:10
  Speaker 3: Look.
• 46:11
  Speaker 4: And now you see people like Nicki Minaj, who made
• 46:12
  Speaker 4: an awful lot of money in hip-hop, aligning themselves comfortably
• 46:18
  Speaker 4: with white supremacy.
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: Trump paid her a compliment on something she built a
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: brand around. His critics insulted her body and her character
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: because she backed him. The comedians also chimed in. Jimmy
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: Kimmel and Jon Stewart both did bits on Monday night
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: and on Fox's The Five. Greg Gutfeld called Trump, quote,
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: the least sexist person alive, joking he objectifies to both
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: men and women. The Democrat in that Michigan Senate race,
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: Abdul El-Said, says Trump was talking about backsides instead of
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: the issues. Tough words. That's a campaign talking point. Bottom
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: line is this. A superstar with nearly 27 million followers
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: on X stood on a Trump stage, and the left's
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: answer was to mock her and attack her. Trump's crowd
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: cheered her. So will people be offended by Trump's comments?
• 47:10
  Speaker 4: Sure.
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: I'm sure some will be. But Trump is Trump. And
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: I don't think anyone's going to vote for a socialist,
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: even if they were offended, at least no one on
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: our side. Joining me now is author and political commentator,
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: Shamika Michelle. Welcome to Apollo Prime Time. Look, I saw
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: this on, what, Sunday, I guess. I didn't think it
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: was real. I remember saying, no, this isn't real. No,
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: this isn't real. Even when I saw it on news,
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: I'm like, no, this isn't real. And then it turns
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: out it's real. I'm not sure how I feel about it.
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: You know, my instinct is to support the president and say, OK, whatever.
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: He's making a joke and nobody seemed to mind. Nikki
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: didn't seem to mind. She said, thank you, President Trump.
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: But there is a chance it's offended some people. What's
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: your thoughts on this? So, yes, I'm with you, David.
• 47:57
  Speaker 4: Initially, when I saw it, I thought to myself, this
• 48:00
  Speaker 4: couldn't be real. I clicked off of it because I
• 48:02
  Speaker 4: thought this is definitely AI. I know for a fact
• 48:07
  Speaker 4: my president, not my president. I know he didn't say this,
• 48:10
  Speaker 4: but then turns out, yes, it seems to be real.
• 48:13
  Speaker 4: And I was completely shocked. And I actually had a
• 48:17
  Speaker 4: problem with it. simply because President Trump is married, but
• 48:21
  Speaker 4: also Nicki Minaj is married. And I just thought that
• 48:25
  Speaker 4: a man should not be commenting on another man's wife's behind.
• 48:31
  Speaker 4: And so many people are saying, oh, well, you know,
• 48:33
  Speaker 4: Nicki has talked about her own behind, but she wasn't
• 48:36
  Speaker 4: doing that in that capacity at the time. So I
• 48:40
  Speaker 4: just felt like she was well-covered, she was well-dressed. And
• 48:44
  Speaker 4: I know Trump said it's hard to miss but it's
• 48:47
  Speaker 4: hard to miss because it's surgically enhanced. But I don't
• 48:51
  Speaker 4: think just because it's hard to miss means that you
• 48:54
  Speaker 4: have to comment or point it out. She wasn't there as,
• 48:57
  Speaker 4: you know, a rapper. She wasn't entertaining. She wasn't uncovered
• 49:02
  Speaker 4: or half-dressed. And so I thought with the respect that
• 49:06
  Speaker 4: she presented herself there, It's the same respect that she
• 49:09
  Speaker 4: should get. We know that Melania has posed nude before,
• 49:13
  Speaker 4: but we give her respect as the first lady of
• 49:16
  Speaker 4: the United States. And I don't allow other people to
• 49:19
  Speaker 4: kind of throw... that in her face. And so it
• 49:21
  Speaker 4: was the same with me for Nikki. I think she
• 49:25
  Speaker 4: was operating in a different capacity. The way she presented
• 49:29
  Speaker 4: herself should have been honored.
• 49:32
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: You know, and that was initially, You know, I guess
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: why I felt a little weird about it, too, just
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: because I was like, yeah, she does that in her professional.
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: You know, she talks about her butt a lot in
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: her professional career. But I mean, what people do on
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: stage and the way they make the music isn't necessarily
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: the person. And so. I felt like maybe Trump got
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: a little carried away, as Trump does. But here's the thing.
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: And again, I'm not going to sit back and be
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: offended for somebody else. So Nicki Minaj seems to take
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: it graciously. You know, she did turn around and, like,
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: kind of wave and And, you know, she doesn't seem
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: to be offended by it. And so I'm resting in
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: the sense that she didn't seem to mind. But the
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: reality is this. It's a rally, right? And the point
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: of rallies is to get people motivated to show up
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: and vote. And any opportunity that somebody... Look, you support Trump,
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: and you're offended. And so, you know, you don't want...
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: to lose any votes, just even if you're being funny
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: and making light of a situation, even if Nicki Minaj
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: didn't mind, it still has the potential to lose votes.
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: Do you think anybody would stay home as a result
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: of this, or is this one of those things where
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: you kind of just roll your eyes and, ah, whatever,
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: it's just Trump?
• 50:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's just Trump. I think if this
• 50:46
  Speaker 4: would keep somebody staying home, they were going to stay
• 50:50
  Speaker 4: home to start with. You know, I'm not offended to
• 50:53
  Speaker 4: the point that I would stay home or even to
• 50:55
  Speaker 4: the point that I would be upset or mad with
• 50:59
  Speaker 4: anybody who thought it was OK. You know, I just
• 51:03
  Speaker 4: thought it was disrespectful to her husband. I feel like
• 51:06
  Speaker 4: as a society. We have just started to not respect
• 51:10
  Speaker 4: men in general. And so for me, this was just
• 51:14
  Speaker 4: another time where I said, OK, we're not respecting her husband,
• 51:18
  Speaker 4: you know, even or the position that he's in, because
• 51:21
  Speaker 4: so many people has brought up his, you know, criminal
• 51:23
  Speaker 4: record or whatever. Even if you don't respect the man,
• 51:27
  Speaker 4: respect the position that he's in. And so that was
• 51:30
  Speaker 4: kind of my take. But I don't think it's going
• 51:32
  Speaker 4: to keep people staying home unless they just weren't coming
• 51:36
  Speaker 4: out to start with. I don't think it's that big.
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: Of a deal.
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, Shamika, you make a great point with that.
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: It is, you know, you have to respect the husband here, too.
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: And look, I'm glad Nicki Minaj made light of it.
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: It really was. It's just a moment. But look, the
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: focus needs to be on.
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: Really what the significance of this midterm coming up just
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: one week from now and what it means to this country.
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: And certainly, you know, even if you want to call
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: it a gaffer, just Trump being Trump, I don't think
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: that's going to move the needle or convince anybody they
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: should vote for a socialist as a result. So, you know,
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: it's very interesting. I had to cover it just because
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: it was just such a crazy story. And I know
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: a lot of people are wondering if it's real. I'm like,
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: I got I got to talk about it. Shamika, I
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: appreciate you being here as always.
• 52:21
  Speaker 4: Thank you, David.
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: Thank you. That's our show for tonight. Make sure you
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: tune in tomorrow. We have Dr. Robert Malone joining us
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: again because we're not talking enough about health care reform. Remember,
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: Obamacare ruined health care, made it the unaffordable health care act.
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: and Republicans have an opportunity to reform it. We're not
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: talking about it enough, so we're talking about it tomorrow.
• 52:44
