Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Straight ahead on Real America tonight the world on the brink.
- 0:03Speaker 1: Are we witnessing a historic breakthrough in Geneva between the
- 0:07Speaker 1: US and Iran? Or is at a countdown to a
- 0:11Speaker 1: huge conflict. US carriers, as you can see right there,
- 0:15Speaker 1: are literally locked and loaded in the region as high
- 0:20Speaker 1: state negotiations are currently underway, plus stalemate about the border,
- 0:26Speaker 1: chaos in the Coastguard, two hundred thousand federal employees working
- 0:29Speaker 1: for free thanks to Democrats, and yeah, i'd say some
- 0:32Speaker 1: rhino Republicans. Washington is out to lunch, gone for the week,
- 0:37Speaker 1: not working, while national security hangs by a thread. Once again.
- 0:41Speaker 1: Here we go government shutdown day five and an all
- 0:46Speaker 1: new low for CNN Shah. The bastion of fake news
- 0:51Speaker 1: stoops to a sickening level as they try to desecrate
- 0:55Speaker 1: the memory of our friend Charlie Kirk. I'll explain tonight
- 1:00Speaker 1: ball Real America starts right now. Good Wednesday evening to
- 1:10Speaker 1: you folks, Thanks for tuning in. We begin the program
- 1:12Speaker 1: with a possible and let me reiterate, a possible breakthrough
- 1:17Speaker 1: in Geneva as the US and Iran agree on a
- 1:20Speaker 1: set of guiding principles, are calling them to try and
- 1:23Speaker 1: resolve this nuclear standoff. After a second round of high
- 1:28Speaker 1: stakes talks mediated by Aman, Iran's foreign minister says the
- 1:32Speaker 1: atmosphere now is quote constructive. Both sides are now drafting
- 1:37Speaker 1: text for a potential deal, with our envoy Steve Whitkoff
- 1:42Speaker 1: and Jared Kushner there represent the US. However, we can't
- 1:46Speaker 1: call this a peace treaty just yet, and we also
- 1:48Speaker 1: can't say it's over, because let's be real, it's Iran.
- 1:53Speaker 1: You've seen what this radical Islamic regime has done since
- 1:57Speaker 1: it took bloody power back in Stein. And anytime anybody
- 2:02Speaker 1: rears their head against the regime, you know what they do.
- 2:05Speaker 1: And so even though Trump is Trump and we've got
- 2:07Speaker 1: them surrounded and I think they know their time is up,
- 2:10Speaker 1: you never know. Vice President JD Vance warns Tehran is
- 2:14Speaker 1: still though ignoring President Trump's redline. See that includes a
- 2:19Speaker 1: total ban on all their nukes, also a big limit
- 2:24Speaker 1: on their ballistic missiles, which Iran is saying in the
- 2:27Speaker 1: talks that's a non starter. Meanwhile, the Persian Gulf is
- 2:32Speaker 1: a powder keg. Just as talks began, Iran actually briefly
- 2:37Speaker 1: closed the Strait of Hormuz for live fire drills. Now,
- 2:42Speaker 1: why would they do that, Well, they're sending a message
- 2:44Speaker 1: to us like they can sink our warships that have
- 2:48Speaker 1: pretty much surrounded Iran. President Trump currently massing a huge
- 2:54Speaker 1: armada in the region and says Iran wants to do
- 2:57Speaker 1: a deal to avoid the consequences or else. You got
- 3:01Speaker 1: the USS Abraham Lincoln, USS Gerald Ford both on station.
- 3:05Speaker 1: There's B two bombers on standby, there's destroyers there, and
- 3:08Speaker 1: the clock is ticking. Negotiators will exchange drafts, they say,
- 3:13Speaker 1: over the next two weeks, But sources say the White
- 3:15Speaker 1: House does have military options ready at a moment's notice.
- 3:21Speaker 1: If diplomacy ends, not to mention, what will Israel do.
- 3:27Speaker 1: They've been striking Lebanon to take out Hesbala leaders over
- 3:31Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks as well, So this, folks
- 3:35Speaker 1: could get real dicey if the negotiations fall apart, joining
- 3:40Speaker 1: US now with more let's call it inside baseball. He's
- 3:44Speaker 1: the author of the book How Fitting Iran An Imperiless Republic,
- 3:48Speaker 1: and US policy co host of the War and Freedom podcast,
- 3:52Speaker 1: and former Trump foreign policy advisor. Our good friend, doctor
- 3:55Speaker 1: Walid Ferris back on the program, Doc, It's so nice
- 3:58Speaker 1: to see you. I don't know that it has reached
- 4:02Speaker 1: a fever pitch in the negotiations in the strikes that
- 4:06Speaker 1: we've already done. As it is today, it seems like
- 4:10Speaker 1: this is almost do or die with these negotiations. And
- 4:13Speaker 1: I don't mean to use that pun lightly, because we're
- 4:16Speaker 1: talking about the potential for a lot of death if
- 4:18Speaker 1: they don't come to the table. I really think Trump's
- 4:21Speaker 1: not messing around here.
- 4:23Speaker 2: He is not the president not to mess around once
- 4:26Speaker 2: he realizes what is the intention of the other side.
- 4:29Speaker 2: And here's the deal you introduced us this discussion. As
- 4:33Speaker 2: we're going to go to the inside, let's go to
- 4:34Speaker 2: the inside of the mind of the Islamic regime.
- 4:37Speaker 3: What they want basically at.
- 4:38Speaker 2: This point in time is time to gain as much
- 4:41Speaker 2: time as they can because from the top of the
- 4:44Speaker 2: regime to their analysts, to their social media influencers, what
- 4:48Speaker 2: they're talking about is, and I'm quoting, in a few months,
- 4:51Speaker 2: President and his administration are going to have a lot
- 4:54Speaker 2: of domestic problems. Ooh, let's analyze that. What do they mean?
- 4:58Speaker 2: They know that they're friends in the United States. As
- 5:01Speaker 2: we are embarking in this midterm election year, are going
- 5:04Speaker 2: to be helping them by creating urban violence, by creating
- 5:07Speaker 2: conditions that would turn away our attention from what's happening
- 5:11Speaker 2: in Iran to the United States. I believe this is
- 5:14Speaker 2: their strategy, or they believe that this is their strategy.
- 5:17Speaker 3: That's why I think.
- 5:19Speaker 2: What they're trying to do right now is transform this
- 5:22Speaker 2: negotiations from a geo political conversation or pressure by the
- 5:27Speaker 2: United States into a corporate discussion. And you know what
- 5:30Speaker 2: they do in corporate discussions. If they give just the
- 5:34Speaker 2: impression that they are coming back to the table, we
- 5:37Speaker 2: will consider it as a big victory. No, that's a
- 5:39Speaker 2: plan by the regime to gain time and to have
- 5:42Speaker 2: us go back and forth to the table while we
- 5:44Speaker 2: are gathering all these task.
- 5:46Speaker 3: Forces, so on and so forth.
- 5:47Speaker 2: But the only one who could emerge from it as
- 5:50Speaker 2: a surprise for the Islamic regime is President once he
- 5:54Speaker 2: realized what they're trying to do. So he has been
- 5:56Speaker 2: a negotiator all his life and he will send the
- 5:59Speaker 2: right message.
- 6:00Speaker 3: Time will come.
- 6:01Speaker 1: Well, you used to advise him. Have they reached out
- 6:03Speaker 1: for any advice lately from you, doc on what to
- 6:06Speaker 1: do with ran.
- 6:07Speaker 3: They are indirect advice.
- 6:08Speaker 2: The best one is on Twitter, but there are other
- 6:10Speaker 2: channels that we use as well.
- 6:13Speaker 1: I'll tell you this is. You know, President Trump doesn't
- 6:18Speaker 1: want any more killing. He says that all the time.
- 6:20Speaker 1: He doesn't want to put boots on the ground anywhere.
- 6:23Speaker 1: He was tired of those endless wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Now,
- 6:26Speaker 1: of course he's taking a lot of heat from some
- 6:27Speaker 1: of his own supporters because they're like, what are you doing.
- 6:29Speaker 1: You're building up to going to war with Iran. So
- 6:33Speaker 1: Doc for those folks that are now trash talking forty
- 6:36Speaker 1: seven about that, explain how this is not going to
- 6:39Speaker 1: be a boots on the ground twenty year war. Iran
- 6:43Speaker 1: doesn't even have the capacity to wage against us, do
- 6:47Speaker 1: they fill them in?
- 6:48Speaker 2: Thank you for giving me this opportunity to sorry to
- 6:51Speaker 2: say it on TV to flatheads who don't understand geo politics.
- 6:55Speaker 2: And unfortunately some of them are in cahoot with either
- 6:58Speaker 2: the Islamic regime of you on or the Muslim brotherhood
- 7:01Speaker 2: on other fronts.
- 7:02Speaker 1: Who you're talking about on social.
- 7:03Speaker 3: Media have seen who call themselves.
- 7:06Speaker 1: Mega and then praise when they get praised by care
- 7:09Speaker 1: who's paid for by the Muslim brotherhood. Go ahead, sorry, doc,
- 7:12Speaker 1: I know those folks.
- 7:13Speaker 2: Yeah, well, let's look at at the ocean. First, all
- 7:17Speaker 2: the units that are being gathered. That impressive armada isn't armada.
- 7:21Speaker 2: What does that mean. It's naval and it's air assets.
- 7:26Speaker 2: We haven't seen until now the gathering of any ground forces.
- 7:30Speaker 2: Like in Normandy, the Nazis knew that on the other
- 7:33Speaker 2: side there were one hundred thousand people soldiers ready to land.
- 7:38Speaker 3: That's not the case today.
- 7:40Speaker 2: The United States, first of all, do not need ground
- 7:43Speaker 2: forces to defeat and then bring down that regime from
- 7:46Speaker 2: the air. And of course you mentioned the Israelis. That's
- 7:48Speaker 2: another matter we could address, but consider both of them. Second,
- 7:52Speaker 2: the actual army on the ground that will take over
- 7:56Speaker 2: are the hundreds of thousands of Iranians, those who are demonstrating.
- 8:00Speaker 3: The people Fifty thousand were.
- 8:02Speaker 2: Killed, basically, but that means that all their families and
- 8:06Speaker 2: everybody else in Iran have made a decision they're not
- 8:09Speaker 2: going back. That would be the one to take over.
- 8:11Speaker 2: And what did the presidents say? Those critics forget that
- 8:14Speaker 2: he posted he's asking the Iranians to continue with the demonstrations.
- 8:19Speaker 2: He's asking them to take over the institutions. He's asking
- 8:22Speaker 2: them make sure to identify those who hurt you. There
- 8:25Speaker 2: is a whole plan in the head of our president.
- 8:27Speaker 2: But the critics, you know, their plan is basically the
- 8:31Speaker 2: influence and the lobbies of the Islamic regime.
- 8:33Speaker 1: And that's the key, Wally. And that's what's really upsetting
- 8:37Speaker 1: to me is watching some of these so called American
- 8:40Speaker 1: patriots who have podcasts or a big following on social media,
- 8:44Speaker 1: or they were a former of this or whatever, and
- 8:47Speaker 1: now because they're taking money from different Muslim nations, or
- 8:51Speaker 1: they're just doing it for engagement because that's how they
- 8:53Speaker 1: make their paycheck, because they're not getting a big paycheck
- 8:55Speaker 1: from a big corporation anymore. They literally are trash talk,
- 9:00Speaker 1: not just Israel and Bibby. And again, you can have
- 9:03Speaker 1: your own issues with a government. I got an issue
- 9:06Speaker 1: with US spending billions, and Bibby even said we shouldn't
- 9:08Speaker 1: be sending all that money anymore. They're a rich nation. Good,
- 9:10Speaker 1: stop sending the damn money. Let them pay for their
- 9:12Speaker 1: own stuff. Great, but you don't trash an entire people.
- 9:16Speaker 1: Then start trashing our movement and trash our president because
- 9:20Speaker 1: you think he's sucking up to some other nation because
- 9:23Speaker 1: you're now getting paid or because your engagement goes up
- 9:25Speaker 1: when you post it. That's not patriotic, that's not being
- 9:29Speaker 1: an America first patriot in my opinion.
- 9:31Speaker 2: Oh absolutely, and one inch further than the attempt by
- 9:36Speaker 2: the regime, the Islamic regime and the Ichuan meaning the
- 9:38Speaker 2: Brotherhood didn't start now or yesterday or last year in Syria.
- 9:43Speaker 2: They started a few years ago, a decade ago, and
- 9:47Speaker 2: they formed and launched the globalized, the antifader movement.
- 9:50Speaker 3: Who do you think is behind that? You know, Sweden,
- 9:54Speaker 3: thank you, mother, Teresa.
- 9:56Speaker 2: No, this is the money of Petro Donnars coming from
- 9:58Speaker 2: the Islamic regime and other regimes also across the Persian Gulf.
- 10:03Speaker 1: Oh yeah, listen, I know that there's Muslim nations that
- 10:05Speaker 1: are working with Trump that on the surface act all
- 10:07Speaker 1: friendly to us, but there's backdoor channels where they still
- 10:09Speaker 1: funnel this crap so they can keep the violent radical
- 10:12Speaker 1: Muslims in their nations at bay because they like making
- 10:15Speaker 1: the money and they like doing the deals with Trump.
- 10:17Speaker 1: But they're probably still funding it. And we know Iran's
- 10:19Speaker 1: one of the biggest ones and that's something that's got
- 10:22Speaker 1: to stop. I'm so glad that there is a caucus
- 10:25Speaker 1: now in the House to stop sharia law from ever
- 10:29Speaker 1: becoming any type of law in this nation. And I
- 10:32Speaker 1: got to say this, I'll say it again. I'm sure
- 10:33Speaker 1: it'll take heap, but I really don't care because I
- 10:35Speaker 1: love my nation more than I do people's feelings. Islam
- 10:41Speaker 1: does not and cannot coexist with the United States, our Republic,
- 10:45Speaker 1: and our constitution. What they believe and how they believe
- 10:49Speaker 1: things should be carried out under their shariaa on Kuran.
- 10:53Speaker 1: Just go read it, folks. It doesn't jive with America
- 10:57Speaker 1: and how we live our lives. I'll give you the
- 10:58Speaker 1: final word, doctor Willie Fair.
- 11:01Speaker 2: Jihadism is the problem. This ideology, like Nazism, like communism,
- 11:05Speaker 2: like fascism, is trying first of all, to hisheck Muslim
- 11:09Speaker 2: communities and turn them into fundament tell us.
- 11:12Speaker 3: And there is a resistance, as you know.
- 11:14Speaker 2: And second is trying to undermine our national security in
- 11:16Speaker 2: all fifty states.
- 11:18Speaker 1: Yep, they're here, they're among us, and they want to
- 11:21Speaker 1: do it. Look at the radical Amans that are in Florida, Texas,
- 11:24Speaker 1: Michigan calling for people to do a jihad, and I
- 11:27Speaker 1: get there's millions of peace loving ones, but they get
- 11:29Speaker 1: radicalized by the radical ones. Look at the guy that
- 11:32Speaker 1: shot our two Guard troops. Everybody thought he was coming
- 11:35Speaker 1: here for a better life out of Afghanistan. He helped
- 11:38Speaker 1: us during the war, but he got radicalized here in
- 11:40Speaker 1: America and then went and shot two Guard members. So
- 11:43Speaker 1: we've got to put a stop to this. Doc As always,
- 11:46Speaker 1: thank you for filling us in. Take care, Thank you, Dane.
- 11:51Speaker 1: When we come back, Alaska Congressman Nick Beggot, you'll be
- 11:54Speaker 1: here the latest on the government shutdown, how it may

- 12:09Speaker 1: TSA four, air traffic controllers rually on what day five?
- 12:13Speaker 1: But this is not going to go away anytime soon.

- 14:35Speaker 1: Department Home and Security entering its fifth day of a
- 14:38Speaker 1: partial government shutdown, with more than two hundred thousand federal
- 14:41Speaker 1: employees now facing the prospect and working without getting a paycheck.
- 14:45Speaker 1: The standoff in Washington is less than the nation's third
- 14:48Speaker 1: largest agency in Limbo, at the center of the fight
- 14:51Speaker 1: well immigration. Of course, Senate Democrats are refusing to sign
- 14:56Speaker 1: off on a full year funding for DHS unless they
- 14:59Speaker 1: get there way and they want huge reforms for ICE
- 15:02Speaker 1: and CBP or else. White House calling the shutdown a
- 15:08Speaker 1: dramatic hit to national security, but both the House and
- 15:11Speaker 1: Senate currently in recess, so guess what. There's no vote
- 15:15Speaker 1: scheduled for a while, and the State of the Union's
- 15:19Speaker 1: coming up next Tuesday. The administration's warning that while ninety
- 15:22Speaker 1: percent of the workforce will stay on the job The
- 15:23Speaker 1: lack of funding is creating dangerous operational bottlenecks. Remember what
- 15:28Speaker 1: happened last year with the forty three day shutdown, all
- 15:30Speaker 1: those delays and cancelations. When it comes to air travel.
- 15:34Speaker 1: Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs the Department Home ind Security,
- 15:36Speaker 1: Tristia McLoughlin, says, the standoff is cutting off critical mission
- 15:40Speaker 1: support for more than two hundred and sixty thousand personnel.
- 15:43Speaker 1: And we're not talking about just TSA. We're talking Coastguard, FEMA,
- 15:47Speaker 1: Secret Service, and of course customers and border patrol and ice.
- 15:51Speaker 1: The Department warns that the longer this drags out, the
- 15:54Speaker 1: higher risk of system vulnerabilities, data breaches, it, security issues,
- 16:00Speaker 1: all kinds of stuff. More than forty thousand Coast Guard
- 16:03Speaker 1: members are also facing the prospect of working with no
- 16:05Speaker 1: check acting vice coming on Thomas Allen Warren lawmakers this week.
- 16:09Speaker 1: The impact isn't just administrative, it's operational, he says. Even
- 16:13Speaker 1: a short term lapse cripples morale and threatens our readiness.
- 16:18Speaker 1: Remember they keep our shores safe, folks, while search and
- 16:21Speaker 1: rescue and critical overseas missions will continue. Routine patrols, vessel inspections,
- 16:27Speaker 1: and non emergency maintenance. Well, it's grinding to a halt.
- 16:30Speaker 1: That's not good. Additionally, command leaders say the uncertainty is
- 16:34Speaker 1: making recruitment and retention harder. Joining me now to weigh
- 16:39Speaker 1: in on yet another Democrat shutdown. Alaska Congressman Nick beggache
- 16:44Speaker 1: back on the program. Nick, nice to see you. How
- 16:47Speaker 1: about it. Nothing can really happen next week, right, I mean,
- 16:52Speaker 1: you guys would have to vote and turn this around
- 16:54Speaker 1: in a matter of hours, and I don't see that happening.
- 16:57Speaker 1: So this shutdown's probably going to go at least another
- 16:59Speaker 1: week or so or more.
- 17:01Speaker 4: I think you're right. I think you're right. I mean,
- 17:03Speaker 4: you look at what the Democrats have done. There was
- 17:06Speaker 4: a funding agreement that had been struck with the Senate,
- 17:10Speaker 4: the White House, and the House, and the Democrats backed
- 17:15Speaker 4: off that agreement. They decided to use this as a
- 17:17Speaker 4: political football once again, to use the men and women
- 17:22Speaker 4: who are in uniform serving our country, people who are
- 17:26Speaker 4: in the Coastguard. I come from the state of Alaska.
- 17:28Speaker 4: We have more coastline than any state in the country.
- 17:31Speaker 4: In fact, more coastline than the entire rest of the
- 17:33Speaker 4: country combined. The nation's largest coast Guard bases in Alaska.
- 17:37Speaker 1: And look, this.
- 17:38Speaker 4: Threatens border security, It threatens folks who are out there
- 17:41Speaker 4: fishing in the Bering Sea right now, who rely on
- 17:44Speaker 4: the Coast Guard for support. And the Democrats are quite frankly,
- 17:48Speaker 4: they're playing politics with the American people again. I think
- 17:51Speaker 4: people are tired of it and we need to open
- 17:53Speaker 4: this government back up.
- 17:55Speaker 1: Now. Let me ask you something, because I know what CHUCKI.
- 17:58Speaker 1: Schumer is doing in the Democrats in the Senate holding
- 18:00Speaker 1: sol hostage over their stupid laundry list of demands. They
- 18:03Speaker 1: want our border agents and ice agents and now follow
- 18:06Speaker 1: so their radical lefties can dox them and hurt them
- 18:09Speaker 1: and scare their families. But I want to take it
- 18:11Speaker 1: a step further because I get a lot of emails
- 18:13Speaker 1: about the Save America Act, because that's also in the
- 18:15Speaker 1: Senate being debated out and hashed back and forth. And
- 18:18Speaker 1: many of my viewers are going, hey, Dan, don't forget
- 18:20Speaker 1: to throw some of the Rhino Republicans under the bus
- 18:22Speaker 1: for the Save America Act. And are the Democrats and
- 18:25Speaker 1: Republicans using that behind closed doors as negotiating with this
- 18:30Speaker 1: whole shutdown thing too, Like, hey, we know you Republicans
- 18:33Speaker 1: want the Save America Actor. We don't want it because
- 18:34Speaker 1: we'll never win an election again because then we can't cheat.
- 18:36Speaker 1: But we're going to screw you over here on the
- 18:39Speaker 1: DHS budget and then you can keep hanging in the
- 18:43Speaker 1: wind over here. And then Republicans, some of them, some
- 18:45Speaker 1: of them are getting weak. Need about pushing that through,
- 18:48Speaker 1: nuken the filibuster and making it law so we can
- 18:50Speaker 1: clean up elections. What do you think of my and
- 18:53Speaker 1: my viewers' opinions.
- 18:55Speaker 4: Well, look, I think you're onto something there. At the
- 18:58Speaker 4: end of the day, we have seeing a crisis of
- 19:01Speaker 4: confidence in our election integrity. And we got to remember,
- 19:05Speaker 4: going back to twenty sixteen, the Democrats said that there
- 19:08Speaker 4: was Russian interference in the elections. They called the election
- 19:11Speaker 4: into question. This is a bipartisan issue, and in fact,
- 19:14Speaker 4: it's so bipartisan that over eighty percent of Americans want
- 19:18Speaker 4: to see voter ID laws is this isn't Democrat, it's
- 19:21Speaker 4: not Republican, it's not. Everybody wants to see stronger election integrity,
- 19:27Speaker 4: and there's nothing wrong with that. We even hear from
- 19:29Speaker 4: folks like Fetterman in the Senate Democrat from Pennsylvania saying, hey,
- 19:34Speaker 4: he's for voter ID. So at the end of the day,
- 19:37Speaker 4: this is the Democrats pushing against the broad based will
- 19:41Speaker 4: of the American people. I think they understand. I think
- 19:44Speaker 4: they know that, but again, they're playing politics with something
- 19:47Speaker 4: that's an eighty twenty issue eighty twenty plus. At the
- 19:51Speaker 4: end of the day, I think we need to push
- 19:53Speaker 4: this through the Senate. I think we should force the
- 19:55Speaker 4: Democrats to stand on the floor and explain to the
- 19:59Speaker 4: American people they think we shouldn't have voter ID. You
- 20:02Speaker 4: need voter ID to do so many things in your life, right,
- 20:05Speaker 4: just a basic ID is required. Why not have that
- 20:08Speaker 4: same ID for voting? Yeah, and there's so many states
- 20:11Speaker 4: in America that don't require an ID when you show
- 20:14Speaker 4: up to vote.
- 20:15Speaker 1: Yeah. Crazy. I saw a video from now famed independent
- 20:20Speaker 1: reporter and social media influencer Nick Shirley. He was out
- 20:23Speaker 1: here in our neck of the woods, California, about a
- 20:25Speaker 1: week or two ago. He went into one of the
- 20:28Speaker 1: election offices. I forget which city he was in. There
- 20:30Speaker 1: was a gal behind the counter and he jokingly made
- 20:33Speaker 1: up some names and was just like, Hey, if I
- 20:35Speaker 1: come in and I write down John Smith and I
- 20:37Speaker 1: want to vote I have to show you an idea or anything.
- 20:39Speaker 3: Nope.
- 20:39Speaker 1: Well what if I'm not John Smith and I'm lying,
- 20:41Speaker 1: Well we match it up with a signature from your registration. Okay, great,
- 20:44Speaker 1: Well what if I lie then, well then we have
- 20:46Speaker 1: you sign an Affidavid that you're not lying. And then he's like, okay,
- 20:48Speaker 1: but what if I'm still lying and I signed AFFI David?
- 20:51Speaker 1: And then she says, well, then you're prosecuted. He's like,
- 20:53Speaker 1: but then, how do you know I'm lying? Do you
- 20:54Speaker 1: guys follow up and go prosecute people who lie? She's like, no,
- 20:58Speaker 1: because we don't know they're lying. Yeah, because you're not
- 21:00Speaker 1: asking for an id to prove who the hell they are.
- 21:03Speaker 1: So this is California who Gavin Newsom thinks he wants
- 21:05Speaker 1: to run for a president and he can't even have free, fair,
- 21:08Speaker 1: transparent elections. Literally, it's on X right now on Nick
- 21:11Speaker 1: Shirley's page. Folks, go look at it. This is what's happening,
- 21:14Speaker 1: and if it's happening in California, it's happening in every
- 21:17Speaker 1: blue state. That's why they don't want to Save America
- 21:19Speaker 1: Act to go through. That's why they claim it's racist.
- 21:22Speaker 1: Jim crow two point zero because they have no other
- 21:24Speaker 1: talking point. Win seventy one to ninety six percent, depending
- 21:28Speaker 1: on who you're talking to, whether it's an independent, Liberty
- 21:30Speaker 1: or Democrat Republican it's seventy one. For Dems, it's like
- 21:33Speaker 1: ninety six with their pubs and average eighty three or
- 21:35Speaker 1: everybody else. Come by, Nick, we want this, we.
- 21:39Speaker 4: Want this, we deserve this, honestly, and you think about
- 21:42Speaker 4: think about this. A number of House races every single
- 21:47Speaker 4: election cycle come down to about one thousand or two
- 21:49Speaker 4: thousand votes, sometimes less than a thousand RT.
- 21:51Speaker 2: Right.
- 21:52Speaker 4: If you don't think every vote counts, you haven't been
- 21:54Speaker 4: watching those races. I mean, at the end of the day,
- 21:57Speaker 4: there is a razor thin majority in the United at
- 22:00Speaker 4: the state's House right now, that razor thin majority you
- 22:02Speaker 4: might be able to total up. The majority determining votes
- 22:06Speaker 4: is maybe five thousand or ten thousand votes that decided
- 22:09Speaker 4: whether we were going to have a Republican controlled House
- 22:12Speaker 4: or a Democrat controlled House. Every vote counts. We want
- 22:15Speaker 4: to make sure that the votes that are being cast
- 22:17Speaker 4: are all valid and look that ensures that we not disenfranchised,
- 22:21Speaker 4: but enfranchise voters, make sure that they are being counted
- 22:27Speaker 4: at the polls appropriately and their vote is.
- 22:29Speaker 5: Not being diluted by potential fraud.
- 22:32Speaker 1: Alaska Congressman Nick Megach, thank you for weighing in. Appreciate you.
- 22:38Speaker 1: Up next, we're going to be joined by a retired
- 22:39Speaker 1: police officer to break down the latest in the search
- 22:42Speaker 1: for Nancy Guthrie. Stay with us. Hey, did you know

- 23:56Speaker 1: for you. What does Roku TV, Apple, and Amazon fireTV
- 24:02Speaker 1: all have in common? The answer is that all three
- 24:05Speaker 1: platforms offer you the ability to live stream One America
- 24:09Speaker 1: News Network from your Roku TV AppleTV or Amazon Fire device.
- 24:14Speaker 1: Simply go to the app store, search out foran then

- 24:29Speaker 1: they watch OAN live? The solution is simple. It's a
- 24:33Speaker 1: streaming platform called cloud tv Now it's spelled klowd TV.

- 24:54Speaker 1: dot com and do it today. Now to an update,
- 25:07Speaker 1: another setback in the search for eighty four year old
- 25:10Speaker 1: mother of Today's show co host Savannah Guthrie. Pima County
- 25:13Speaker 1: investigators say that the DNA that we told you about
- 25:16Speaker 1: the other day that was found on that black globe
- 25:17Speaker 1: that they think was maybe the guy that was at
- 25:20Speaker 1: the front door, and it was only two miles from
- 25:22Speaker 1: her house did not match any DNA records in the
- 25:25Speaker 1: entire FBI's national database. Sheriff down there, Chris Nanos, also
- 25:30Speaker 1: confirmed today that the DNA on that glove does not
- 25:32Speaker 1: match any samples found inside Guthrie's home. Other biological evidence
- 25:37Speaker 1: recovered from the property still undergoing analysis at this hour.
- 25:41Speaker 1: Sheriff Nanos also confirming that investigators, they say have officially
- 25:45Speaker 1: cleared all members of the Guthrie family, including the siblings
- 25:50Speaker 1: and their spouses. Don't forget it was sister Annie of Savannah.
- 25:56Speaker 1: Her husband was the last one to see Nancy alive.
- 26:00Speaker 1: Now we're going on day I don't even know eighteen.
- 26:04Speaker 1: Investigators continue to zero in on a key piece of
- 26:07Speaker 1: evidence though, a black twenty five leter Ozark trail hiker
- 26:11Speaker 1: backpack that the guy had on that night. It's a
- 26:14Speaker 1: Walmart brand exclusively. So now the FBI, the cops, they
- 26:18Speaker 1: are literally scouring national sales records of Walmart's to try
- 26:23Speaker 1: and see who bought that bag. That's a tough one.
- 26:26Speaker 1: There's one hundred thousand dollars reward. Also if you have
- 26:29Speaker 1: any information to Nancy's whereabouts. Law enforcement also reportedly working
- 26:33Speaker 1: with medical manufacturers to see if somehow they could track
- 26:38Speaker 1: Nancy's pacemaker. All right, So for the latest, Sergeant Betsy
- 26:45Speaker 1: Rantner Smith, retired Chicago police officer and spokesman for the
- 26:48Speaker 1: National Police Association, joins me now to break down what
- 26:51Speaker 1: we know. And Betsy, thanks for coming back on. Did
- 26:55Speaker 1: you say before we started the interview here, do you
- 26:57Speaker 1: live over near where this is all going down?
- 27:00Speaker 6: I absolutely do. I live a few miles away from
- 27:04Speaker 6: where all this is happening. And you know, we were
- 27:08Speaker 6: hoping this was going to be a fairly quick resolution,
- 27:13Speaker 6: but now it's getting down to frankly, good old fashioned
- 27:17Speaker 6: boots on the ground police work. And you talked about
- 27:22Speaker 6: a lot of the things that cops are having to
- 27:24Speaker 6: do to find missus Guthrie and resolve this case.
- 27:28Speaker 1: It's so bizarre, you know, I mean, there's been so
- 27:31Speaker 1: many ups and downs in this investigation. Like, you know,
- 27:35Speaker 1: they went back over to Annie's house two or three times,
- 27:38Speaker 1: took out bags and boxes of evidence, looked through vehicles
- 27:41Speaker 1: and stuff. A lot of people were trying to point
- 27:42Speaker 1: the finger at her husband, like because as most people know,
- 27:46Speaker 1: and you're a retired cop, where do you guys always
- 27:48Speaker 1: go first? Well, you start with family. But you also
- 27:51Speaker 1: start with the last person that saw the person kidnapped alive,
- 27:55Speaker 1: and that was Annie's husband. He dropped her off right
- 27:57Speaker 1: around nine thirty, two Saturdays ago now, and then sometime
- 28:02Speaker 1: between one and two thirty, that guy comes to the
- 28:04Speaker 1: front door and abductor. But we've got nothing else to
- 28:07Speaker 1: go on. There's the video. You live in the area.
- 28:09Speaker 1: I'm sure you're talking to your contact. What else do
- 28:12Speaker 1: you know, Nancy, that we or Betsy've pardon me that
- 28:14Speaker 1: I don't know that we don't.
- 28:15Speaker 6: Know well, the sheriff said the family was cleared. He
- 28:20Speaker 6: walked that back and said they are not suspects at
- 28:25Speaker 6: that time. He made kind of an emotional.
- 28:29Speaker 3: Statement.
- 28:29Speaker 6: He walked it back because you can't say these people
- 28:33Speaker 6: are cleared if you don't know who did the crime.
- 28:36Speaker 6: So what we've got right now, We've got the backpack
- 28:39Speaker 6: and the holster from Walmart, and they're attempting to find
- 28:43Speaker 6: out where that was purchased. We also have the gloves,
- 28:47Speaker 6: the DNA, the video, and just because this DNA isn't
- 28:51Speaker 6: in the CODA system doesn't mean it will not be
- 28:56Speaker 6: useful later on. Right they also got went to the
- 29:00Speaker 6: next door neighbors today and started talking to them, and
- 29:06Speaker 6: there is so much happening in this case.
- 29:10Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just so bizarre. You know, It's like, is
- 29:16Speaker 1: there a connection with who Savannah is? Was this just
- 29:19Speaker 1: totally random? Is there a connection with Savannah's husband? Because
- 29:23Speaker 1: now since the Epstein files dropped, his firm's name was
- 29:26Speaker 1: mentioned several times from Larry Summers, the Harvard guy telling
- 29:31Speaker 1: Epstein to contact Savannah's husband's firm just like ten years
- 29:36Speaker 1: ago and used them to clean up his image. So
- 29:38Speaker 1: of course you have the internet salutes trying to connect
- 29:40Speaker 1: it to Epstein. Was this just some random dude that
- 29:43Speaker 1: tried to rob her house and it went wrong? I know,
- 29:45Speaker 1: the sheriff said it wasn't a robbery because nothing was taken.
- 29:47Speaker 1: But and then you got to get down to when
- 29:49Speaker 1: you're on day what eighteen or so, she had daily
- 29:52Speaker 1: meds she needs, I'm pretty sure didn't they confirm the
- 29:55Speaker 1: medication was not taken with her well?
- 29:59Speaker 6: And also we don't although the sheriff says this is
- 30:01Speaker 6: a kidnapping, we don't know unless this sheriff knows something
- 30:05Speaker 6: that he's not telling the media. We don't know if
- 30:09Speaker 6: she was alive when she was taken from this house.
- 30:12Speaker 6: She was definitely taken from this house. But I don't
- 30:15Speaker 6: think this is a burglary gone wrong. We all think
- 30:18Speaker 6: this is a targeted attack. That's what the Pima County
- 30:21Speaker 6: Sheriff's Department has been talking about. But we've got evidence
- 30:27Speaker 6: that can be followed up on, including a kind of
- 30:29Speaker 6: a list of what we call the usual suspects that
- 30:32Speaker 6: investigators have in their hands, and they're going to local
- 30:35Speaker 6: gun stores. Things like that the firearm on this individual
- 30:40Speaker 6: and the way that he carried it and that holster
- 30:42Speaker 6: from law from Walmart are also going to be excellent
- 30:47Speaker 6: clues in this case. There's so much more. We just
- 30:53Speaker 6: don't have all the details because of the sporadic way
- 30:56Speaker 6: that the sheriff is piecing out this information.
- 31:00Speaker 1: I know there have been a lot of folks critical
- 31:01Speaker 1: of the way he's handled it as well, and the
- 31:03Speaker 1: back and forth in the FBI. He said, she said,
- 31:06Speaker 1: And then you think about the family stuck in the
- 31:08Speaker 1: middle and go bigger picture, think about the woman who
- 31:11Speaker 1: was taken. Is she still alive? It is so so tragic.
- 31:15Speaker 1: Sergeant Betsy brant Or Smith, retired Chicago cop and spokesperson
- 31:18Speaker 1: for the National Police Association. Thank you, Betsy, take care,
- 31:21Speaker 1: thanks for having me. Yep up Next, Christianity, it's making
- 31:25Speaker 1: a comeback in America after years of steady decline. A
- 31:30Speaker 1: brand new study shows that get this, gen Z, men
- 31:34Speaker 1: with high educations are attending church at a growing rate,
- 31:38Speaker 1: and I'm loving it. We're gonna have more on that
- 31:41Speaker 1: we come back. Hey, if your cable provider doesn't offer
- 31:44Speaker 1: one America News Network, you should give him a call

- 32:04Speaker 1: cable company today and kindly ask or demand that they
- 32:08Speaker 1: add o ANN to their channel lineup. Hey everyone, here's

- 33:41Speaker 1: So join us at free Talk forty five and express
- 33:44Speaker 1: yourself with no fear of cancelation ever. Welcome back. For
- 33:58Speaker 1: decades now, the story of religion and Christianity are Faith
- 34:03Speaker 1: in the West in this nation have been on a
- 34:05Speaker 1: steady decline. That's the devil at work. But a new
- 34:09Speaker 1: report from the Chapman Center for Demographics and Policies suggests
- 34:14Speaker 1: there is a spiritual restructuring underway. I gotta say thank God.
- 34:21Speaker 1: While more than half of Europeans under forty claim no faith,
- 34:24Speaker 1: there's a surprising counter trend emerging here in America and
- 34:29Speaker 1: even in parts of the United Kingdom, led by guess
- 34:31Speaker 1: what gen z men. In twenty twenty five, men reported
- 34:37Speaker 1: higher church attendants in that age bracket than women. Experts
- 34:41Speaker 1: say that young men feeling culturally rather dislocated, are gravitating
- 34:47Speaker 1: towards the rigorous discipline and traditions of religion. Data shows
- 34:52Speaker 1: thirty percent of graduate degree holders attend service weekly. That's
- 34:56Speaker 1: compared to twenty three percent of just high school grads. Additionally,
- 35:00Speaker 1: private schools, mostly religious, gained three hundred thousand students in
- 35:05Speaker 1: the four year period between twenty nineteen and twenty twenty three,
- 35:09Speaker 1: while public schools lost one point two million pupils. And
- 35:15Speaker 1: I got to say this, I'm loving it. Think about
- 35:18Speaker 1: what public schools are teaching our kids today. You can transition.
- 35:22Speaker 1: America was never great. There is no God. Why would
- 35:25Speaker 1: you want to send your kid to that type of
- 35:27Speaker 1: brainwashing cesspool. Meantime, the brain trust behind huh fake news
- 35:34Speaker 1: leader CNN has now reached a shock and new lull,
- 35:39Speaker 1: and it relates to our friend Charlie Kirk. While millions
- 35:42Speaker 1: of Americans are still mourning the tragic loss of a
- 35:46Speaker 1: generational conservative leader like Charlie, CNN has spent months now
- 35:51Speaker 1: working on a hit piece targeting not just the man
- 35:56Speaker 1: but his final memorial service. You piece is ah, I'll
- 36:01Speaker 1: censor myself. The report from CNN's Pamela Brown labels the
- 36:06Speaker 1: solemn event, a gathering attended by tens of thousands of
- 36:09Speaker 1: grieving patriots, has nothing more than a Christian nationalist rally.
- 36:13Speaker 1: What the hell is that supposed to mean? When did
- 36:16Speaker 1: that become a bad thing that If you're a Christian,
- 36:18Speaker 1: which is how our nation was born, go look it
- 36:21Speaker 1: up CNN and you're a nationalist. Great, you're putting America
- 36:27Speaker 1: first and God great? Why is that a bad thing
- 36:31Speaker 1: in the left's mind? Instead of honoring the life of
- 36:34Speaker 1: a husband, father, and a defender of freedom, these liberal
- 36:39Speaker 1: pieces are trying to rewrite history, taking a day of prayer, unity,
- 36:46Speaker 1: and faith, by the way, that was seen by millions
- 36:49Speaker 1: across the globe I think maybe even a billion. It
- 36:51Speaker 1: was huge, okay, into a vile political narrative. Shame on you, CNN.
- 36:58Speaker 1: I'm so glad you've got down your office. You've laid
- 37:01Speaker 1: off thousands of people, and you're losing because you are garbage.
- 37:05Speaker 1: And I hate to even show a little snippet of
- 37:07Speaker 1: this crap, but I got to prove that they're full
- 37:11Speaker 1: of bs, So run a short clip.
- 37:13Speaker 6: Well.
- 37:13Speaker 7: For the past several months, I've been working on a
- 37:16Speaker 7: special project examining the growing influence of Christian nationalism in America.
- 37:21Speaker 7: If you're not familiar, Christian nationalism is an ideology rooted
- 37:24Speaker 7: in the belief that our country was founded as a
- 37:26Speaker 7: Christian nation and that our laws and institutions should reflect
- 37:30Speaker 7: Christian values. And the lead up to my hour long
- 37:32Speaker 7: documentary this weekend, we're going to bring you a preview
- 37:35Speaker 7: of what you'll see, starting off with the assassination of
- 37:38Speaker 7: Charlie Kirk last year. Experts say it was a pivotal
- 37:42Speaker 7: moment for the movement and an occasion where the tragedy
- 37:45Speaker 7: of his loss unified Christian nationalists and the Trump administration
- 37:49Speaker 7: as they honored him.
- 37:50Speaker 1: Y'all, don't do your research, Okay, this country was founded
- 37:56Speaker 1: on our Christian faith? Are you stupid? Jackson? Founder Pastors
- 38:01Speaker 1: for Trump, pastor of the Sheridan Church in Tosa, Oklahoma.
- 38:04Speaker 1: Come on and help me out, brother, I need some
- 38:06Speaker 1: help before I lose my stuff on CNN, Like, seriously,
- 38:09Speaker 1: have they ever studied the original thirteen Colonies and how
- 38:12Speaker 1: people had to pledge allegiance on a Bible and that
- 38:15Speaker 1: in our first schools back in the day, the Little
- 38:17Speaker 1: Achan Bible was like part of the curriculum. And they
- 38:20Speaker 1: think that our country is not based on those values.
- 38:22Speaker 1: That's how we started the country. What's wrong with these people?
- 38:26Speaker 8: I think to your point, they're either really really dumb
- 38:31Speaker 8: or intentionally dishonest and the unfortunately, I think it's I
- 38:36Speaker 8: think it's a little bit of both. To your point,
- 38:39Speaker 8: you know all thirteen colonies, you go read their original charters.
- 38:42Speaker 8: These are the documents stating, you know, why they formed Delaware, Virginia.
- 38:46Speaker 8: You know, every single charter says, of the thirteen colonies,
- 38:50Speaker 8: this colony, Virginia, Delaware, whatever was formed to advance the Kingdom.
- 38:55Speaker 3: Of God and to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
- 38:58Speaker 8: Every single founding charter.
- 39:02Speaker 1: Thank you. Interview over CNN right between the lines. No,
- 39:05Speaker 1: just kiddness, I just I don't.
- 39:06Speaker 8: Know how you can come to any other conclusion. You know,
- 39:09Speaker 8: I don't know how you get there. So, yeah, dumb
- 39:12Speaker 8: and dishonest is a deadly combination.
- 39:14Speaker 5: And that is CNN.
- 39:16Speaker 8: And you know they use that term Christian nationalists. I
- 39:19Speaker 8: remember back in I think it was twenty twenty one.
- 39:21Speaker 8: This was when the term was really starting to come about.
- 39:24Speaker 8: The New York Times had labeled me as one of
- 39:26Speaker 8: the leading Christian nationalist voices in the country, and people
- 39:29Speaker 8: were concerned. Aren't you afraid that they label? I said,
- 39:32Speaker 8: the two words are who I am?
- 39:34Speaker 1: Yeah, what's wrong with it? Pastors? That's what I'm like.
- 39:36Speaker 1: Wait a minute, you're a nationalist, so you love your
- 39:39Speaker 1: nation and you our nation? First? Great, back after the
- 39:42Speaker 1: first word Christian, which is what started the nation? Great?
- 39:45Speaker 1: Why has that become a negative in the left's mind.
- 39:48Speaker 1: They have brain rock, these liberals, these democrats really have
- 39:52Speaker 1: brain rock. They want to tear this nation down and
- 39:55Speaker 1: rebuild it in some ridiculous socialist, Marxist, non believing God
- 40:00Speaker 1: country that not on my watch over my dead body,
- 40:03Speaker 1: pastor no way, Well, let me tell you.
- 40:05Speaker 5: What it really is.
- 40:06Speaker 1: Dan.
- 40:06Speaker 8: And you know this, The reason they don't like the
- 40:10Speaker 8: term Christian nationalist is because one they hate God yep,
- 40:13Speaker 8: and they hate America. And so if you're a follower
- 40:16Speaker 8: of God, you're a Christian follower of Jesus Christ. And
- 40:19Speaker 8: if you're a nationalist, that means you love this country.
- 40:21Speaker 8: You're not a globalist. And so those two words to me, Dan,
- 40:24Speaker 8: I take it as a compliment. Yeah, they have rightly
- 40:27Speaker 8: described I am a Christian first, and I am a
- 40:30Speaker 8: nationalist politically, I'm not a globalist. No, no, no questions
- 40:33Speaker 8: about it.
- 40:34Speaker 1: When we get named tags pastor Christian nationalists, Yes, let's
- 40:38Speaker 1: make some merch. Let's make some merch.
- 40:41Speaker 3: Let's embrace it.
- 40:42Speaker 1: And then you will take the proceeds and will buy
- 40:45Speaker 1: bibles and send them to all these heathen, non believing
- 40:49Speaker 1: God liberal Okay, I gotta watch them on charters.
- 40:53Speaker 8: We need to send them the original charters, Dan, of
- 40:55Speaker 8: the thirteen Colonies and just highlight the party.
- 40:58Speaker 1: Maybe a little history lesson, right, the history lesson they need.
- 41:02Speaker 1: We could tape a video and go by the way.
- 41:04Speaker 1: And again I recall because I remember talking with Glenn Beck.
- 41:09Speaker 1: I know he's got I think two of the original
- 41:12Speaker 1: Achin Bibles because he's like, you know, he loves memorabilia,
- 41:16Speaker 1: and I looked it up. So for all you left.
- 41:19Speaker 1: He is at CNN. Go look it up. Wasn't that, Jackson?
- 41:21Speaker 1: Was I wrong in saying, wasn't that part of our
- 41:23Speaker 1: curriculum and we founded the nation? They were putting Bibles
- 41:26Speaker 1: in with your arithmetic and your science books and a Bible?
- 41:31Speaker 8: Yes, Well, here's the thing that amazi you. Benjamin Franklin.
- 41:34Speaker 8: Dan was not a Christian, but you know what Benjamin
- 41:36Speaker 8: Franklin said, The Bible must be taught in every single
- 41:40Speaker 8: public school in America.
- 41:41Speaker 5: This is a non Christian.
- 41:42Speaker 8: He was not a follower of Jesus till his death bed,
- 41:44Speaker 8: but he had enough common sense to know that what
- 41:47Speaker 8: formed our nation and what gave prosperity to Western civilization
- 41:52Speaker 8: was the bibl E.
- 41:54Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, thank you, Pastor. Just wanted to reaffirm
- 41:59Speaker 1: what I anew But obviously the lefties don't want to hear,
- 42:03Speaker 1: and maybe maybe maybe some of our viewers needed a
- 42:06Speaker 1: little reminder too. Stand strong in your faith, folks, and
- 42:10Speaker 1: stand strong and your love of this nation, and don't
- 42:15Speaker 1: worry about some stupid ass label you're a Christian nationalist. Anyway,
- 42:20Speaker 1: I get upset, I'm gonna lose it. Jackson Ley Meyer,
- 42:23Speaker 1: thank you pastor, appreciate you. Hopefully I don't get any
- 42:26Speaker 1: trouble for my colorful language today.
- 42:29Speaker 8: God bless you, blessed.
- 42:31Speaker 1: Stick around. Up next, speaking of history and facts, we're
- 42:35Speaker 1: gonna be joined by a historian and an author that
- 42:37Speaker 1: it's got the life and a legacy of Reverend Jesse
- 42:39Speaker 1: Jackson who just passed away. It's not all rainbows and sunshine.

- 42:47Speaker 1: and bad, and we'll talk about both of them. Plus
- 42:49Speaker 1: stick around, we'll read some viewer mail. One might be yours.

- 45:12Speaker 1: Welcome back to Reverend Jesse Jackson, a champion of civil
- 45:14Speaker 1: rights and a man whose voice resonated from the streets
- 45:17Speaker 1: of Selma to the halls of international diplomacy. Died early
- 45:20Speaker 1: this week at the age eighty four. A protege, they say,
- 45:22Speaker 1: of doctor Martin Luther King Junior. Jackson was there in
- 45:25Speaker 1: sixty eight in Memphis when he was assassinated, a moment
- 45:28Speaker 1: that forged a lifelong commitment to what he turned into
- 45:31Speaker 1: the Rainbow Coalition, which, of course, over the decades, came
- 45:35Speaker 1: with its controversies. He broke barriers by mounting two historic
- 45:39Speaker 1: runs for the presidency back in the eighties, proving that
- 45:43Speaker 1: a black candidate could command a national stage beyond the
- 45:46Speaker 1: battlet box. Jackson was a master negotiator, traveling to conflict
- 45:50Speaker 1: zones to free American hostages, and advocating tirelessly for economic justice.
- 45:55Speaker 1: While his career was not without controversies, that's for sure,
- 45:59Speaker 1: his impact on the American political landscape is undeniable. And
- 46:02Speaker 1: anybody my age are up watching the program, y'all remember Jesse.
- 46:06Speaker 1: Love him or hate him or indifferent, He was there
- 46:08Speaker 1: trying to make a difference, and I would say, in
- 46:10Speaker 1: some ways it wasn't always the best way he did things.
- 46:14Speaker 1: Taking a social media President Trump paid tribute to Jackson.
- 46:17Speaker 1: Trump remembered the late Reverend as what he called a
- 46:19Speaker 1: force in nature and a gregarious leader who posed immense
- 46:23Speaker 1: grit and a genuine love for people. Trump highlighted their
- 46:26Speaker 1: long standing friendship, noting his support initially for the Rainbow
- 46:30Speaker 1: Coalition's office space and their collaboration on initiatives like criminal
- 46:35Speaker 1: justice reform and opportunity zones in Trump's first term, and
- 46:39Speaker 1: also federal funding for black colleges and universities. He concluded
- 46:43Speaker 1: the post by praising Jackson's devotion to his family. Jackson
- 46:48Speaker 1: praised Trump back in nineteen ninety nine for helping him
- 46:51Speaker 1: with that office space in New York City. I now
- 46:55Speaker 1: want to bring forth a friend who has well he.
- 47:00Speaker 9: Is deceptive, and that his social style is of such
- 47:05Speaker 9: one can miss his seriousness and this commitment while this
- 47:10Speaker 9: success is beyond argument now.
- 47:13Speaker 1: Earlier, I caught up with historian and author William Federer
- 47:16Speaker 1: to discuss the life and legacy of civil rights leader
- 47:20Speaker 1: Jesse Jackson. William, nice to see you again, h. I
- 47:27Speaker 1: remember growing up seeing Jesse Jackson on the main stage.
- 47:31Speaker 1: I remember seeing videos of him and Donald Trump together
- 47:33Speaker 1: on more than one occasion over the last several decades,
- 47:36Speaker 1: and you know, they always say, never speak ill will
- 47:41Speaker 1: of the dead. And he did have some controversies and
- 47:44Speaker 1: some scandals over the years, like many people in politics,
- 47:47Speaker 1: but at the end of the day, he was a
- 47:49Speaker 1: friend of Donald J. Trump. I think that he was
- 47:53Speaker 1: a civil rights leader for good. And I just wanted
- 47:56Speaker 1: to get your take, Bill, because this is your forte.
- 47:59Speaker 1: You track, you study, and you write things down as
- 48:02Speaker 1: a historian. So take it away when we look back
- 48:05Speaker 1: at the life of Jesse Jackson.
- 48:08Speaker 5: Right. Well, he marched with Martin Luther King junior.
- 48:12Speaker 10: And I've had the privilege of meeting several that have
- 48:15Speaker 10: marched with Martin Luther King junior, including Reverend Bill Owens
- 48:19Speaker 10: who recently passed. And he was a leader in the
- 48:24Speaker 10: civil rights movement. One thing that got a lot of
- 48:28Speaker 10: attention was the what's called the shakedown. This was the
- 48:34Speaker 10: practice of going to businesses and asking them for money
- 48:40Speaker 10: in exchange for not organizing protests against their businesses. One
- 48:46Speaker 10: famous one was Anheuser Busch in Chicago that he agreed
- 48:52Speaker 10: not to protest Anheuser Busch in exchange for his son
- 48:56Speaker 10: being given the dealership of the Anheuser bush for Chicago.
- 49:02Speaker 10: Even though the son didn't have the training in that area,
- 49:07Speaker 10: and so the Rainbow Coalition push shakedown became famous or
- 49:12Speaker 10: infamous where it was applied to different businesses to get
- 49:19Speaker 10: them to cave to the agenda.
- 49:23Speaker 1: Yeah, a dirty tactic is that when you're talking about
- 49:26Speaker 1: his son, was that Jesse Jackson Junior, the one that
- 49:29Speaker 1: got in trouble while in Congress and the scandal and
- 49:31Speaker 1: spent some time in jail.
- 49:34Speaker 5: That's my impression.
- 49:37Speaker 10: I have to research all the details, but the practice
- 49:43Speaker 10: became a well known. Matter of fact, Hillary is the
- 49:46Speaker 10: one who used it on an international level with the
- 49:51Speaker 10: different reports coming out of as Secretary of State. She
- 49:56Speaker 10: would arrange meetings with leaders and then have private meetings
- 50:00Speaker 10: with the leaders and do the pay to play that
- 50:03Speaker 10: if you give money to my Clinton Foundation, then you'll
- 50:07Speaker 10: have access, and if you don't give the money.
- 50:10Speaker 5: You won't have access. It's a practice common in Chicago.
- 50:16Speaker 5: They actually called it protection money.
- 50:18Speaker 1: Yeah, and we know who started protection money. That was
- 50:21Speaker 1: the mob back in the day. Al Capone was great
- 50:23Speaker 1: at that in the twenties and thirties in Chicago, and
- 50:25Speaker 1: ever since then, there's always been those crooked governors and
- 50:30Speaker 1: mayors in and around Chicago and Illinois that have used
- 50:33Speaker 1: that pressure in that protection type thing. So yeah, I
- 50:36Speaker 1: guess there is one thing they learned from Jesse. It's
- 50:39Speaker 1: interesting to look back at these videos. I mean, he
- 50:41Speaker 1: got to sit down with the biggest leaders of the
- 50:46Speaker 1: era from you're talking the late sixties through the nineties,
- 50:50Speaker 1: early two thousands. If they were a president, if there
- 50:53Speaker 1: were a world leader, if they were a civil rights leader,
- 50:55Speaker 1: Jesse was usually there. Right.
- 51:00Speaker 5: Sharpton did take over some of the notoriety after it.
- 51:04Speaker 1: We don't talk about him on this show. Jesse. I'll
- 51:06Speaker 1: talk about Noel Sharpton. Bill, Sorry, not a fan of his,
- 51:09Speaker 1: Not that I'm a fan of Jesse's, but Al Sharpton.
- 51:11Speaker 1: You want to talk about a snake oil salesman whoa
- 51:14Speaker 1: anyway back to Jesse.
- 51:16Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, Well, the tactics that were used, and it did,
- 51:23Speaker 10: you know, come across where the economic impact. You even
- 51:28Speaker 10: had Don Wilman organizing a protest of the seven to
- 51:31Speaker 10: Eleven's because they were the largest distributor of pornography. And
- 51:35Speaker 10: then of course it's also how the the LGBT movement
- 51:39Speaker 10: pressured the Boy Scouts into including their agenda that they
- 51:45Speaker 10: pressured all the businesses that donated to the boy Scouts
- 51:48Speaker 10: with boycotts unless they.
- 51:52Speaker 5: The boy Scouts cave to that.
- 51:53Speaker 1: You remember that.
- 51:55Speaker 5: So it's a tactic from.
- 51:56Speaker 10: A political point of view that is undeniable, and it
- 52:01Speaker 10: has made an impact. The civil rights movement actually started
- 52:07Speaker 10: with a Republican Lincoln and then Republican Teddy Roosevelt was
- 52:12Speaker 10: the first president to have a black man in the
- 52:15Speaker 10: White House for dinner. Republican Booker T. Washington for over
- 52:19Speaker 10: thirty years had access and was the one that had
- 52:24Speaker 10: William McKinley come down to Tuskegee Institute and Roosevelt and.
- 52:29Speaker 5: Then Coolidge later went down there.
- 52:32Speaker 10: And then of course the big switch with LBJ from
- 52:34Speaker 10: intimidation to entitlement where you began to see the great
- 52:39Speaker 10: society welfare state.
- 52:41Speaker 1: And that's when Jesse really started gaining more momentum. Is
- 52:45Speaker 1: after I would say, probably Johnson's presidency and then into
- 52:48Speaker 1: the seventies and eighties. And while he was a fighter
- 52:51Speaker 1: on the surface for civil rights, equal rights for all,
- 52:55Speaker 1: seems like a lot of the things that he did
- 52:57Speaker 1: in the tactics he used Bill and Quickman, I'm wrong,
- 53:01Speaker 1: were well, let's call them what they are self serving.
- 53:04Speaker 1: In addition to on the surface trying to help, there
- 53:07Speaker 1: was a lot of self service as well.
- 53:09Speaker 10: Right, it's one of those situations where you know, you again,
- 53:15Speaker 10: you don't want to speak ill of the dead well,
- 53:17Speaker 10: and you honored the family. But on the other hand,
- 53:21Speaker 10: it is an undeniable fact you get that these tactics
- 53:24Speaker 10: did shape politics in America, the threat of boycotts in
- 53:30Speaker 10: exchange for large amounts of money being given to the
- 53:34Speaker 10: Rainbow Coalition, which is a legacy that has lived on
- 53:42Speaker 10: and has influenced other different areas of American society, and
- 53:48Speaker 10: it's also being used by different immigrant type groups.
- 53:52Speaker 1: So today, yeah, exactly, look at the ice riots that
- 53:55Speaker 1: paid for. If you come to our town, we're going
- 53:57Speaker 1: to go out and burn and destroy and hurt cop
- 54:00Speaker 1: And it is a tactic the left has used and
- 54:02Speaker 1: turned violent since Jesse tried to perfect it back in
- 54:05Speaker 1: the day. So again, I know the old phrase I
- 54:07Speaker 1: started with that will that you don't speak ill well
- 54:09Speaker 1: of the dead. But depending on what you did with
- 54:11Speaker 1: your life and legacy, if there's bad and good, then
- 54:15Speaker 1: you discuss both. And again I believe he started out
- 54:18Speaker 1: his life alongside MLK jor fighting for those equal rights
- 54:21Speaker 1: and civil rights for the black community. But with many people,
- 54:26Speaker 1: as they get power and money and fame, it can
- 54:29Speaker 1: corrupt them and they will use sometimes tactics that you
- 54:33Speaker 1: and I would sit here years later and say those
- 54:36Speaker 1: are no good and we don't need them in politics.
- 54:38Speaker 1: So as we bid Jesse a farewell. You can speak
- 54:42Speaker 1: bad and good if they're factual, and so I appreciate you.
- 54:47Speaker 1: William Federer, author historian, thanks for coming on set in
- 54:50Speaker 1: the record straight, take care, Thank you, Dan, yep, And
- 55:01Speaker 1: before we leave you, as promised last night, time to
- 55:03Speaker 1: reviewer mail. One might be yours. Let's go who you
- 55:05Speaker 1: got Chris first? Up's our friend Eve. Eve says the
- 55:10Speaker 1: one good thing that is coming out of how the
- 55:12Speaker 1: Democrats and Rhinos are voting on certain issues is that
- 55:15Speaker 1: there doesn't have to be speculation of what type of
- 55:19Speaker 1: person they truly are. They are weeding themselves out for
- 55:23Speaker 1: all to see.
- 55:24Speaker 9: Eve.
- 55:25Speaker 1: You are correct, and thank you by the way for
- 55:28Speaker 1: throwing the Rhino Republicans under the bus as well. You
- 55:31Speaker 1: know I do it too. You can't just agree with
- 55:34Speaker 1: everybody because they're on the same side if they're not
- 55:37Speaker 1: being fair and honest. Throw them under the bus. Glenn writes,
- 55:40Speaker 1: all government needs term limits. Even the president United States
- 55:43Speaker 1: has term limits. Glenn, you know when I ran for
- 55:45Speaker 1: Congress back in eighteen, that was one of my first priorities.
- 55:48Speaker 1: Term limits for everybody. I fully agree, And Larry writes, Oh,
- 55:52Speaker 1: this is a good one. Larry says, AOC said in
- 55:56Speaker 1: Germany that Venezuela was south of the equator. Idiot. Yeah,
- 56:00Speaker 1: it's not. We know she's an idiot. Matter of fact,
- 56:02Speaker 1: while she was in Munich at the Big Summit, Larry,
- 56:05Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw the word salad when
- 56:08Speaker 1: one of the moderators asked her about America's commitment to
- 56:11Speaker 1: defend Taiwan from China. But it's kind of like a
- 56:15Speaker 1: cackling Kamala words anyway, just enjoy play it would and
- 56:20Speaker 1: should the US actually commit US troops to defend Taiwan
- 56:25Speaker 1: if China were to move?
- 56:28Speaker 3: You know, I think that this is such a you know,
- 56:35Speaker 3: I think that this is a today, Junior, This is
- 56:44Speaker 3: of course a very long standing.
- 56:49Speaker 5: Policy of the United States.
- 56:53Speaker 1: Jr. I mean, if that Gal runs for president and
- 56:57Speaker 1: even one American votes for her, please take your voting
- 57:01Speaker 1: rights away. Just kidding. We still let stupid people vote
- 57:04Speaker 1: in this nation. Unfortunately. Anyway, before we say good night,
- 57:08Speaker 1: quick programming note for y'all out there. The show is
- 57:10Speaker 1: going to be dark tomorrow, Thursday the nineteenth, and Friday
- 57:14Speaker 1: the twentieth. Unfortunately, my wife and I had a death
- 57:16Speaker 1: in the family and we're going to be traveling for
- 57:18Speaker 1: the next few days. We will be back on Monday,
- 57:20Speaker 1: the twenty third. So as I say good night to you,
