Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Straight ahead on Real America tonight, the heroic pilot who
- 0:03Speaker 1: stopped an attempted hijacking on a flight from Dubai to
- 0:06Speaker 1: Tel Aviv is speaking out, saying he was in a
- 0:09Speaker 1: fight for his life and he knew he had to
- 0:11Speaker 1: help save all the people on that plane. We'll bring
- 0:13Speaker 1: you that interview. Retired police lieutenant Randy Sutton will join us.
- 0:16Speaker 1: He'll break down the active criminal investigation into a two-year-old
- 0:21Speaker 1: alleged gang rape that took place at Cornell University. Now,
- 0:25Speaker 1: Kathy Hochul, the governor of New York, has assigned Attorney
- 0:28Speaker 1: General Letitia James to lead an inquiry. So, this is
- 0:32Speaker 1: a really confusing story. We're going to try and break
- 0:34Speaker 1: it down tonight, folks. Plus, buckle up.
- 0:37Speaker 2: It's Friday.
- 0:37Speaker 1: Time to go woke. There's a whole bunch of crazy headlines.
- 0:41Speaker 1: especially coming from the debate between Steve Hilton and Javier Becerra,
- 0:44Speaker 1: the two running to become California's next governor. We've got
- 0:47Speaker 1: all that and more. I'm Dan Ball, and Real America
- 0:49Speaker 1: starts right now.
- 0:58Speaker 2: Good Friday evening to you.
- 1:00Speaker 3: That gentleman right there in the.
- 1:04Speaker 4: Hospital, a brave man.
- 1:10Speaker 1: That is the hero pilot who, along with some of
- 1:14Speaker 1: the crew and a couple passengers, helped to prevent an
- 1:18Speaker 1: attempted terror attack and hijacking of a Dubai flight that
- 1:21Speaker 1: it sounds like they were going to crash into Tel
- 1:23Speaker 1: Aviv and just kill a bunch of Israelis. He's currently recovering,
- 1:27Speaker 1: as you see right there. His name, Smit Mechari. He's
- 1:30Speaker 1: from India. He was speaking there to the prime minister
- 1:33Speaker 1: of his nation on a televised video call earlier today
- 1:36Speaker 1: about what went down at 30,000 feet. During their emotional talk,
- 1:41Speaker 1: which millions of people have already tuned into and watched,
- 1:43Speaker 1: Captain Smith said he was fighting for his life after
- 1:46Speaker 1: being seriously injured because the co-pilot stabbed him. Now, if
- 1:49Speaker 1: you don't know what happened, you had this radical Muslim
- 1:53Speaker 1: from Oman, who was the co-pilot, who about two hours
- 1:56Speaker 1: into the flight this past weekend stabbed the pilot and
- 2:00Speaker 1: then tried to take the controls, which led, of course,
- 2:03Speaker 1: to panic and chaos. The plane dropped about 14,000 feet
- 2:07Speaker 1: over a two-minute period. People are seen on video screaming
- 2:11Speaker 1: it had to be hell. So what did this guy do?
- 2:14Speaker 1: Literally bleeding profusely. Well, he thought in the final moments
- 2:18Speaker 1: of his life that he needed to open the cockpit door,
- 2:22Speaker 1: and he did. And those passengers and some of his
- 2:25Speaker 1: fellow crew members were able to subdue the co-pilot and
- 2:29Speaker 1: land the plane safely. Crazy. Crazy. There's more footage, of course,
- 2:34Speaker 1: coming out from the folks on board and how this
- 2:36Speaker 1: all was going down as it was caught on camera.
- 2:49Speaker 1: So the folks in plain clothes, civilians, passengers, checkered shirts,
- 2:53Speaker 1: those are flight attendants. They were asking for doctors. Anybody
- 2:56Speaker 1: was a pilot. Anyway, all of them coming together. They
- 2:59Speaker 1: were able to open the cockpit door, tie up the attacker,
- 3:03Speaker 1: and then literally a wounded captain, a plumber, an Israeli dentist,
- 3:08Speaker 1: and some flight attendants saved the day. They're all speaking
- 3:12Speaker 1: out now this week. Cuts.
- 3:15Speaker 2: He was covered in cuts. His head, his hands.
- 3:18Speaker 5: They were practically sliced open, almost severed in two. He
- 3:23Speaker 5: was in serious condition, not critical perhaps, but serious, due
- 3:27Speaker 5: to the massive blood loss. We also tied up the terrorist.
- 3:31Speaker 2: He didn't scream at all.
- 3:32Speaker 5: He just sat down quietly and went along with it.
- 3:35Speaker 5: We used the cord from the headphones, and later they
- 3:38Speaker 5: brought us plastic zip ties, which we used as well.
- 3:41Speaker 5: We were fully engaged in subduing and restraining him. At
- 3:45Speaker 5: the same time, I was helping the pilot.
- 3:48Speaker 1: So, who was the hijacker? Here's what we know. He's
- 3:51Speaker 1: an Omani. He's from Oman. He doesn't have dual citizenship.
- 3:55Speaker 1: Who funded it? Who pushed him? I mean, he'd only
- 4:01Speaker 1: been employed by Dubai Airlines for less than a year.
- 4:04Speaker 1: To boot, we know he was a religious extremist, of course.
- 4:09Speaker 1: Matter of fact, they've done some interviews, found out this
- 4:11Speaker 1: guy was such a radical Islamist, he wouldn't even shake
- 4:16Speaker 1: hands with women. They believe he went into some sort
- 4:19Speaker 1: of crazy indoctrination probably months before this. But again, nobody
- 4:24Speaker 1: thinks this guy acted alone. This had to be at
- 4:26Speaker 1: the direction of some terrorist network, and a lot of
- 4:29Speaker 1: folks are saying it's connected to Iran. In either case,
- 4:33Speaker 1: officials from Oman, our nation, and Saudi Arabia are all
- 4:37Speaker 1: coming together with Israel, and they're trying to figure out
- 4:40Speaker 1: who did what. Now, we go from that threat to
- 4:45Speaker 1: another terror plot that was foiled. Thank goodness. We told
- 4:49Speaker 1: you about this one at the beginning of the week
- 4:51Speaker 1: at that Royal air base in England where we had
- 4:55Speaker 1: some of our Air Force jets that have been, of course,
- 4:59Speaker 1: used to strike Iran. So what do we know? Well,
- 5:03Speaker 1: we know that they caught five guys, and there's probably
- 5:06Speaker 1: five or six more, tied to Iran over the weekend,
- 5:10Speaker 1: getting ready to blow up this Royal Air Force Fairland base.
- 5:14Speaker 1: But then, guess what? Or Fairford, rather. But then the
- 5:17Speaker 1: British cops let them go after like one day. Some
- 5:20Speaker 1: of the guys arrested had dual citizenships, UK and Iran,
- 5:23Speaker 1: which of course then says, were they directly connected to Iran? Probably.
- 5:29Speaker 1: So what else do we know about this attempted bombing
- 5:33Speaker 1: in England and this attempted hijacking on a Dubai airline
- 5:37Speaker 1: that was headed straight for Tel Aviv? Joining me now
- 5:40Speaker 1: to weigh in on both of these investigations, he's a
- 5:43Speaker 1: retired Army Major General and a former FBI and DEA
- 5:46Speaker 1: Task Force agent. And our other guest... By the way,
- 5:49Speaker 1: that's General John King, is an Army and Navy combat vet,
- 5:53Speaker 1: counterterrorism expert, and the founder of Gray Bull Rescue. We've
- 5:56Speaker 1: seen a lot of him this year with all the
- 5:58Speaker 1: tragedies around the globe, Brian Stern. Gentlemen, welcome back to
- 6:02Speaker 1: the program. General, I'll begin with you. Let's talk base
- 6:05Speaker 1: real quick, and then we'll go to the hijacking. What's new?
- 6:10Speaker 1: I know that they just arrested yesterday one more suspect,
- 6:13Speaker 1: so we're up to six. I recall the farmer that
- 6:17Speaker 1: had called the British police and turned these guys in
- 6:19Speaker 1: because he was like, I'm seeing like a dozen people
- 6:22Speaker 1: in white vans and things are looking kooky. He said
- 6:24Speaker 1: there was at least 10, maybe 12 of them. I
- 6:27Speaker 1: know you've got great Pentagon connections still. What do we know?
- 6:30Speaker 1: Because I believe the Brits are allowing our intelligence community
- 6:33Speaker 1: to help them with this investigation. And have we confirmed
- 6:37Speaker 1: that Iran is connected to these individuals?
- 6:41Speaker 6: I think it's key to, you know, the Brits are
- 6:43Speaker 6: taking a lot of assistance from our intelligence and law
- 6:46Speaker 6: enforcement contacts for the FBI, legal attache and the embassy.
- 6:51Speaker 6: And so I think they're working very hard to determine.
- 6:54Speaker 6: I think it's pretty clear the facts of the individuals
- 6:56Speaker 6: that were detained. The key is how they're tied into
- 6:59Speaker 6: the Iranians. And that is the harder track to be
- 7:03Speaker 6: able to track down. I think they're going to be
- 7:05Speaker 6: able to get to this relatively quickly. I was surprised
- 7:08Speaker 6: that the Brits allowed them to bond out. It's quite
- 7:12Speaker 6: shocking to me. But they do have a completely different
- 7:15Speaker 6: system of justice. But they do have I think we
- 7:19Speaker 6: have all the right players working on this. And we
- 7:22Speaker 6: should be able to determine very quickly what their ties
- 7:25Speaker 6: to both Iran or anybody else.
- 7:26Speaker 1: In the world. Brian, to you, you're a counterterrorism expert.
- 7:29Speaker 1: Could this be something where the British police, Scotland Yard,
- 7:32Speaker 1: all of them have thought, hey, if we let them
- 7:34Speaker 1: go and we secretly track and monitor them, maybe they'll
- 7:38Speaker 1: lead us to more of the suspects? Because I was
- 7:40Speaker 1: shaking my head. I mean, they let these guys go
- 7:42Speaker 1: in like 26 hours. What, arrested on a Sunday, out
- 7:45Speaker 1: on a Monday morning?
- 7:47Speaker 7: Yeah, I think there's a few reasons why you would
- 7:51Speaker 7: let people go. And it literally could be that there's
- 7:55Speaker 7: not enough evidence collected at the scene to suggest anything.
- 7:58Speaker 7: If there's no guns, there's no explosives, there's no this,
- 8:00Speaker 7: there's no that. Well, at the end of the day,
- 8:02Speaker 7: they're just trespassing. So their system of government, while there
- 8:06Speaker 7: may be some nefarious intent, the way that this looks
- 8:08Speaker 7: to me is a rehearsal.
- 8:10Speaker 2: This is a test. I think this is.
- 8:15Speaker 7: There was some indications of some incendiary, but no explosives
- 8:19Speaker 7: were found at the scene.
- 8:21Speaker 2: As an example.
- 8:22Speaker 7: So this wasn't an actual attack. This looks more like
- 8:25Speaker 7: reconnaissance to me. And they got caught or a dress
- 8:28Speaker 7: rehearsal to test the security of the base and of
- 8:30Speaker 7: the surrounding area.
- 8:32Speaker 2: Stupid bad guys.
- 8:33Speaker 7: They went to a place where everyone knows each other,
- 8:35Speaker 7: which is like rule number one of surveillance is blend in.
- 8:38Speaker 2: And they didn't blend in so well.
- 8:39Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 8:39Speaker 2: So wait, 12.
- 8:42Speaker 1: Muslims don't blend in in the English countryside with farmers,
- 8:45Speaker 1: you know, and.
- 8:45Speaker 7: Straight strange vans parked on a dirt road in the
- 8:47Speaker 7: middle of nowhere where everyone sees it, you know, not
- 8:50Speaker 7: too smart. So that's how this reads to me. I
- 8:54Speaker 7: think the notion that we're going to let them go
- 8:56Speaker 7: to see who they talk to and who they sit with,
- 9:00Speaker 7: I think that's certainly possible. But if they're professional bad guys,
- 9:03Speaker 7: their operational security is going to be such that they
- 9:06Speaker 7: already know not to do that. They already compartment stuff.
- 9:09Speaker 7: They already know to do that. So that's kind of
- 9:11Speaker 7: a fool's errand if that was the idea.
- 9:13Speaker 1: All right, let's move from that thwarted terror attack on
- 9:16Speaker 1: that Royal Air Force Base to then what happened at 30,000
- 9:20Speaker 1: feet with this Dubai flight just a few days ago.
- 9:22Speaker 1: This was scary stuff. So this flight was supposed to
- 9:26Speaker 1: land in Tel Aviv. You had an Indian pilot, thank goodness,
- 9:29Speaker 1: who was one brave pilot, and you had a crazy,
- 9:32Speaker 1: radicalized man from Amman. If it weren't for that pilot
- 9:37Speaker 1: opening that door, And those flight attendants and passengers couldn't
- 9:41Speaker 1: get in and take this guy down. From all accounts,
- 9:44Speaker 1: and maybe you gentlemen know more from your contacts, he
- 9:47Speaker 1: was going to drive this plane into the ground and
- 9:50Speaker 1: kill a whole bunch of Israelis. I had thought, too,
- 9:53Speaker 1: if Iran was behind this, what if he would take
- 9:55Speaker 1: it to Iran and land it? They would have 174 hostages. General,
- 10:00Speaker 1: why don't you take the first one on what you
- 10:01Speaker 1: know I don't know about this one.
- 10:04Speaker 6: I think you're right, Dan. The fact that the pilot
- 10:07Speaker 6: had the wherewithal, I mean, you could tell by the injuries,
- 10:09Speaker 6: he had a bunch of defensive wounds, both in his hands,
- 10:12Speaker 6: his stomach, his chest, and he was able to fight
- 10:15Speaker 6: the assailant and then had the wherewithal to open the
- 10:18Speaker 6: door to get assistance in there. That is absolutely miraculous.
- 10:22Speaker 6: I mean, you could tell by his statements to his
- 10:24Speaker 6: prime minister. that he was determined that not under his
- 10:27Speaker 6: watch was he going to allow that plane to go
- 10:30Speaker 6: down and kill all those people. Incredibly heroic. And then,
- 10:34Speaker 6: of course, the passengers springing into action, not only subduing
- 10:41Speaker 6: the assailant, but also getting pilots to be able to
- 10:45Speaker 6: get that flight. There's going to be a deep intelligence.
- 10:49Speaker 6: I think there were some issues there. on the fact
- 10:52Speaker 6: that they allowed an Omani pilot that was not cleared
- 10:56Speaker 6: to be able to go into Israel. There's going to
- 10:58Speaker 6: be some reckoning as a result of what happens with
- 11:02Speaker 6: this investigation. There's a lot of things that we need
- 11:06Speaker 6: to pick up, and our partners are going to have
- 11:08Speaker 6: to get a lot sharper on who they allow to
- 11:11Speaker 6: fly into Israel.
- 11:12Speaker 1: Yeah. With that, Brian, I'll turn to you, but throw
- 11:14Speaker 1: this headline up. President Trump commented about it. in addition
- 11:17Speaker 1: to the sound bite we ran, and he said, if
- 11:19Speaker 1: we find out Iran is behind radicalizing and funding this
- 11:23Speaker 1: co-pilot to try and crash that flight full of Israelis,
- 11:27Speaker 1: they will be hit, quote, very, very hard. Brian, you're
- 11:32Speaker 1: in counterterrorism. I know you've got contacts in that region. Again,
- 11:37Speaker 1: what are you hearing about this guy? And obviously, Dubai Air,
- 11:40Speaker 1: Fly Dubai, you better be doing better background check and vetting,
- 11:43Speaker 1: you think?
- 11:45Speaker 2: Yeah, I actually don't think that this is Iran.
- 11:47Speaker 7: I think this is a lone wolf situation where there's
- 11:49Speaker 7: a whack job that was inspired.
- 11:51Speaker 2: And I'll tell you why.
- 11:52Speaker 7: Iran is the Shia homeland.
- 11:56Speaker 2: This happened over Saudi Arabia.
- 11:57Speaker 7: The Shia and the Sunnis hate each other.
- 11:59Speaker 2: That's been going on for thousands of years.
- 12:01Speaker 7: The notion that they would, the symbolism of killing Jews
- 12:08Speaker 7: in the Sunni holy land as a measure for Shia Islam,
- 12:12Speaker 7: that doesn't really track too well for me. If they
- 12:17Speaker 7: did a hostage situation, that makes a lot more sense.
- 12:19Speaker 7: But I don't see Iran crashing a plane in Saudi.
- 12:23Speaker 7: I just don't see that as a thing. On top
- 12:25Speaker 7: of that, Oman is generally speaking Sunni. I don't know
- 12:30Speaker 7: if this guy's Sunni or Shia or not, or which one,
- 12:33Speaker 7: but Oman is generally speaking Sunni. This sounds like a
- 12:38Speaker 7: whack job who was at a madrasa somewhere who happened
- 12:41Speaker 7: to get placement and access. into an airplane by becoming
- 12:44Speaker 7: a pilot. This is just like Flight 93 on the
- 12:47Speaker 7: morning of 9-11, where civilians felt compelled to act.
- 12:51Speaker 1: That's right.
- 12:52Speaker 7: We at Gray Bull Rescue, really, this resonates very strongly
- 12:55Speaker 7: with us. We are civilians who act. Our motto is
- 12:59Speaker 7: don't be a spectator, which means do something. We've done
- 13:02Speaker 7: 811 missions, as you know. This is exactly the type
- 13:07Speaker 7: of thing that makes... That touches us in a very
- 13:11Speaker 7: strong way where civilians felt compelled to ask, to act.
- 13:15Speaker 7: They did what they needed to do. And unlike Flight 93,
- 13:19Speaker 7: this worked out well.
- 13:21Speaker 2: Yeah, I know.
- 13:23Speaker 7: What's fascinating is, going back to Iran again, the other
- 13:29Speaker 7: reason why I don't think this is Iran is because
- 13:31Speaker 7: they didn't fly the planes into skyscrapers in Israel, which.
- 13:35Speaker 2: Could have easily been done.
- 13:37Speaker 1: They didn't do a 9-11 2.0.
- 13:38Speaker 2: This was about crashing the plane on Sunni land.
- 13:42Speaker 1: Gotcha. So gentlemen, lone wolf inspired by radical Islam, this
- 13:46Speaker 1: Omani guy with the flight, you think, generally I see
- 13:49Speaker 1: you nod and you agree with Brian, but the five, six,
- 13:52Speaker 1: now arrested, maybe 10, like the farmer said, those guys
- 13:56Speaker 1: who were, you have a team and they got vans
- 13:57Speaker 1: and they were staying in the area and they were
- 13:59Speaker 1: scouting the area. That definitely was probably some sort of
- 14:02Speaker 1: terror group and had backing. Is that fair to say? 100%. Okay.
- 14:08Speaker 4: 100%.
- 14:08Speaker 1: All right. Last one's a real easy one. The idiots
- 14:11Speaker 1: on social media think that that hijacking was a false flag.
- 14:15Speaker 1: That Bibi Netanyahu, I see he's shaking you guys' head.
- 14:18Speaker 1: You know which idiots are saying it. And they got
- 14:20Speaker 1: millions of other idiot followers believing it. That somehow the
- 14:23Speaker 1: Israeli government staged the hijacking of a plane to get
- 14:27Speaker 1: sympathy because of the war they've been waging in Gaza.
- 14:31Speaker 1: Holy crap, I didn't think these crazy conspiracy theorists could
- 14:34Speaker 1: come up with worse crap than they already have, but
- 14:37Speaker 1: they did. And so with a few seconds left, I'll
- 14:40Speaker 1: let you both comment on this one. I don't know
- 14:42Speaker 1: how you'd get 170-some people to go along with a
- 14:44Speaker 1: conspiracy cover-up, but anyway, General, you first, then Brian.
- 14:48Speaker 6: It's absolutely insane and silly. These people just, it's unbelievable,
- 14:54Speaker 6: but every day they come up with some other kind
- 14:56Speaker 6: of nonsense. Thank God nobody else takes them seriously.
- 15:00Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 15:00Speaker 1: Unfortunately, several million people do that follow them. Brian, final thoughts.
- 15:05Speaker 7: You know, these are right up there with the people
- 15:07Speaker 7: that think that the earth is flat and the Easter
- 15:09Speaker 7: Bunny is real and, you know, the tooth fairy will
- 15:13Speaker 7: come and all these things. These are just people who
- 15:16Speaker 7: just don't get it. You know, we've got to remember
- 15:19Speaker 7: in America, two-thirds of Americans don't have a passport. That
- 15:22Speaker 7: means 66% of the United States of America cannot understand
- 15:26Speaker 7: the world outside of Instagram if they wanted to.
- 15:29Speaker 1: So great analogy, Brian.
- 15:31Speaker 7: You know, it's not surprising to me that with especially
- 15:35Speaker 7: with AI, there's a huge mistrust of information right now.
- 15:39Speaker 7: I don't believe anything I see or read personally. Lots
- 15:42Speaker 7: of fake stuff, lots of lots of nonsense, lots of propaganda,
- 15:44Speaker 7: lots of everything. So it's not surprising to me that
- 15:47Speaker 7: lots of people are falling for this crap, except for,
- 15:50Speaker 7: in fact, it is as real as the Easter Bunny.
- 15:52Speaker 7: In fact, it is as real as Santa Claus. In fact,
- 15:56Speaker 7: neither of those are real, and neither is it some
- 15:58Speaker 7: mastermind conspiracy. Crashing an airplane, you know, flying an airplane
- 16:03Speaker 7: in a nosedive faster than a skydiver jumps out of
- 16:06Speaker 7: an airplane. I'm a free fall skydiver. The speed that
- 16:10Speaker 7: this plane nosed was in ripped the rudder.
- 16:13Speaker 2: Off the aircraft. That is a.
- 16:17Speaker 1: I didn't even know that.
- 16:18Speaker 2: Yep, the rudder of the aircraft ripped off the plane.
- 16:20Speaker 1: But it was all staged. Just like President Trump getting
- 16:22Speaker 1: shot in Butler. He staged it now. They believe that one, too. Guys,
- 16:25Speaker 1: I got to run. I mean, I know. They're crazy.
- 16:28Speaker 1: Just like Erica Kirk had something to do with Charlie's death.
- 16:31Speaker 1: These people are sick. Major General John King, retired. Army, Navy,
- 16:36Speaker 1: combat vet Brian Stern, also the creator of Gray Bull Rescue. Great,
- 16:39Speaker 1: great charity. You gentlemen, thank you so much. Have a
- 16:41Speaker 1: good weekend. All righty, coming up after the break, the
- 16:44Speaker 1: investigation into an alleged gang rape on the campus of
- 16:47Speaker 1: Cornell University two years back is now making major headlines
- 16:50Speaker 1: this week. This after the governor, Kathy Hochul, has tapped
- 16:54Speaker 1: our favorite attorney general, Letitia James, to begin a formal investigation.
- 16:59Speaker 1: This is a he said, she said story, folks. We're
- 17:01Speaker 1: going to break it down. Plus, a brand new report
- 17:04Speaker 1: breaks down the best and worst in our public school
- 17:06Speaker 1: systems state by state. And folks, it's literally divided red
- 17:11Speaker 1: versus blue. You can't fake math. We'll show you that
- 17:16Speaker 1: straight ahead. And Colorado gubernatorial candidate Victor Marks will be
- 17:19Speaker 1: here to discuss his campaign and mail-in ballots. It just
- 17:22Speaker 1: went out across multiple states today. And it's Friday. You
- 17:26Speaker 1: know what that means. We've got to go woke just
- 17:28Speaker 1: for a little bit. Stay with us, we'll be right back.
- 17:30Speaker 1: For all of our viewers out there asking where to
- 17:32Speaker 1: watch One America News, we'd like to introduce you to

- 18:07Speaker 8: This is now an active criminal investigation led by the
- 18:12Speaker 8: Office of the Attorney General.
- 18:15Speaker 1: New York Attorney General Letitia James regarding a criminal investigation
- 18:18Speaker 1: into the alleged sexual assault of a student by several
- 18:23Speaker 1: men at Cornell University back in 2024. Her office now
- 18:27Speaker 1: reviewing the facts, interviewing witnesses, reportedly preparing to pursue prosecutions
- 18:32Speaker 1: if they're warranted. She announced the formal investigation Today, and
- 18:37Speaker 1: information about this whole thing, which is like two years old,
- 18:40Speaker 1: is kind of limited. I don't even remember reporting on
- 18:42Speaker 1: this in 24. But let me back up and fill
- 18:44Speaker 1: you in. Here's what we know. In October 2024, a
- 18:48Speaker 1: female student said she was allegedly drugged and then assaulted
- 18:52Speaker 1: by several members of a fraternity. The local DA declined
- 18:55Speaker 1: to bring criminal charges. However, things are changing now due
- 18:58Speaker 1: to a civil lawsuit and public and social media backlash
- 19:03Speaker 1: about the handling of the case. Letitia James, now leading
- 19:06Speaker 1: the investigation, says she's going to present evidence to a
- 19:09Speaker 1: grand jury. The original DA, who didn't bring charges, says
- 19:13Speaker 1: he will reopen the investigation based on new information in
- 19:17Speaker 1: this civil lawsuit. So new unsealed court documents and over 1,000
- 19:23Speaker 1: pages from the investigation of text messages and Snapchats and
- 19:27Speaker 1: everything else, OK? seemed to show some major discrepancies on
- 19:31Speaker 1: how the campus handled the case when it was first reported.
- 19:35Speaker 1: They detail huge breakdowns in communication between campus police, local police,
- 19:40Speaker 1: and the prosecutor regarding the timeline, what the girl knew,
- 19:44Speaker 1: what she said she was willing to do when she
- 19:46Speaker 1: went over to their house. And then, of course, these
- 19:49Speaker 1: text messages and this Snapchat with a group of men online,
- 19:53Speaker 1: some of the perpetrators, that's coming to light. They show
- 19:56Speaker 1: some pretty disgusting stuff coming from these guys in the frat,
- 20:00Speaker 1: but it also shows the victim talking about it and
- 20:04Speaker 1: agreeing with some of the stuff they were gonna do
- 20:06Speaker 1: sexually and some of the drugs. So again, it is
- 20:09Speaker 1: a big mess. Again, I don't remember reporting on it.
- 20:12Speaker 1: You probably don't remember hearing about it. So joining me now,
- 20:15Speaker 1: hopefully with some more insight into the investigation into this
- 20:18Speaker 1: whole debacle. He's a retired Las Vegas police Lieutenant and
- 20:22Speaker 1: the founder of the Wounded Blue nonprofit, Randy Sutton, back
- 20:25Speaker 1: on the program. Randy, I'm sure you had to probably
- 20:28Speaker 1: bone up on this one because I did. I don't
- 20:30Speaker 1: remember hearing this case. probably because it got dismissed. The
- 20:33Speaker 1: DA didn't follow through. And now that these Snapchats are
- 20:36Speaker 1: coming to light, you know, everybody's been pointing their finger
- 20:39Speaker 1: at the 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 guys. But then
- 20:42Speaker 1: when you look at some of the Snapchats that the
- 20:44Speaker 1: girl was sending before she went over, it sounds like
- 20:47Speaker 1: she was kind of complicit at first with some of
- 20:49Speaker 1: the sexual activity and the drug and booze use. I
- 20:52Speaker 1: don't know what the heck's going on. Anyway, welcome back.
- 20:54Speaker 1: What do you know?
- 20:56Speaker 9: Well, thanks for having me, Dan. You know, sexual assault
- 20:58Speaker 9: investigations are very complicated. And the crime itself, true sexual assault,
- 21:05Speaker 9: are devastating for the victims. Having investigated many over my years,
- 21:12Speaker 9: to see how that crime can devastate people's lives is
- 21:17Speaker 9: something that every law enforcement officer takes really, really seriously. Now,
- 21:23Speaker 9: when we see what is going on with this case,
- 21:26Speaker 9: I am afraid that politics may be playing a bigger
- 21:30Speaker 9: role than justice, however.
- 21:31Speaker 1: That's what I feel.
- 21:33Speaker 9: And when you see Letitia James putting her hat in
- 21:38Speaker 9: the ring here, that really makes me question what the
- 21:42Speaker 9: motivations are for this investigation. Now, in looking at the
- 21:48Speaker 9: investigation that we know that took place where the prosecutor
- 21:53Speaker 9: in that local jurisdiction refused to move ahead and prosecute.
- 21:58Speaker 9: You know, when you have a sexual assault investigation, generally speaking,
- 22:02Speaker 9: there is forensic evidence, there are witnesses to the crime, or,
- 22:07Speaker 9: you know, that there's video evidence or something, you know, from,
- 22:11Speaker 9: there's something of substance where the investigators can take it.
- 22:17Speaker 9: In this particular case, you have a statement, a six-page
- 22:22Speaker 9: statement by the victim herself where she basically says, yeah,
- 22:28Speaker 9: it was consensual.
- 22:29Speaker 1: Right, that's what I heard. It's like six to nine pages.
- 22:32Speaker 1: That was back in 24. And then some of the
- 22:34Speaker 1: Snapchats back it up where she, and pardon me if
- 22:37Speaker 1: there's kids in the room, plug their ears, parents, grandparents.
- 22:40Speaker 1: She in the messaging was agreeing to going over and
- 22:43Speaker 1: having a couple threesomes. with several different men. I mean,
- 22:48Speaker 1: if you're willing to have two threesomes, that's four different partners.
- 22:51Speaker 1: And this ketamine and the booze, the drugs, they all
- 22:54Speaker 1: agreed to do it. And there's messages where they were
- 22:56Speaker 1: talking about, they were snorting ground up ketamine off body parts,
- 23:00Speaker 1: both her and them. So again, I go back and
- 23:03Speaker 1: I remember the Duke lacrosse team who got accused by
- 23:06Speaker 1: a woman of gang rape. And then it came out
- 23:08Speaker 1: years later, she made the whole thing up. So again,
- 23:11Speaker 1: I wanna believe all women when they come forward and
- 23:13Speaker 1: say something, but when there's evidence that contradicts that, that
- 23:16Speaker 1: you can't just throw 10 guys under the bus and
- 23:19Speaker 1: say they all raped her because that's not what it
- 23:21Speaker 1: sounds like according to these messages and her original statement claimed.
- 23:26Speaker 9: There were actually some text messages that took place as
- 23:30Speaker 9: well with one or two of the alleged perpetrators here
- 23:36Speaker 9: where they're having a very civil conversation. She was saying
- 23:40Speaker 9: how much she enjoyed it, how much she wanted to
- 23:43Speaker 9: come back. And this was something that came out today,
- 23:48Speaker 9: that she was disinvited to a party at the frat
- 23:52Speaker 9: house days after things– I mean, you– You're talking about
- 23:57Speaker 9: a college campus. You're not going to keep this quiet
- 24:00Speaker 9: if you're going to go and act in that particular way.
- 24:03Speaker 9: You know it's going to get out there. And apparently
- 24:06Speaker 9: it did. And it caused her some embarrassment. And then
- 24:11Speaker 9: she had texts with one of the people from the
- 24:15Speaker 9: fraternity where she was disinvited to the party. And at
- 24:20Speaker 9: that point is where she said, I'm not talking to
- 24:22Speaker 9: you anymore.
- 24:22Speaker 1: Oh.
- 24:23Speaker 9: And called him a liar. So there's here's the thing.
- 24:28Speaker 9: Proof beyond a reasonable doubt. Right. That is the that
- 24:33Speaker 9: is what a prosecutor has to prove.
- 24:36Speaker 1: Sure. And I know you said politically charged. And if
- 24:40Speaker 1: you're Letitia James and Kathy Hochul and you're thinking you
- 24:43Speaker 1: could go after, you know, six, seven, eight, 10 people.
- 24:46Speaker 1: rich white kids that you can paint to look like
- 24:49Speaker 1: conservative rich white kids that raped a girl, kind of
- 24:52Speaker 1: like in the Duke University one, that ups your stature. Oh,
- 24:56Speaker 1: I'm doing my job as a lawmaker. I busted these
- 24:59Speaker 1: horrible kids who raped a girl. But again, did they?
- 25:03Speaker 1: And I hope the truth comes out. Thanks for weighing
- 25:04Speaker 1: in on this one, Randy. There's still a lot of
- 25:06Speaker 1: information to comb through. I hope they don't make a
- 25:10Speaker 1: knee-jerk reaction here. Because if we find out this girl
- 25:13Speaker 1: made stuff up, like the Duke lacrosse one, this could
- 25:16Speaker 1: ruin these guys' lives. On the flip side, if they
- 25:18Speaker 1: did it, then you throw their butts in jail. End
- 25:21Speaker 1: of story. Thank you, Randy.
- 25:23Speaker 9: Well, this is a defense lawyer's dream, I can tell
- 25:26Speaker 9: you that.
- 25:27Speaker 1: Yeah, as it looks on its face right now. Yeah,
- 25:29Speaker 1: with all that evidence where she was agreeing to it
- 25:32Speaker 1: and after talking to him about it. It doesn't look
- 25:34Speaker 1: like what they're claiming. But again, we'll wait. We'll see
- 25:37Speaker 1: if the wheels of justice turn fast enough. It is
- 25:40Speaker 1: a two-year-old case. Memories get cloudy. We'll see what happens.
- 25:43Speaker 1: Thank you, Randy.
- 25:44Speaker 9: Sure thing.
- 25:45Speaker 1: Yep. Straight ahead, mail-in ballots for the midterms being sent
- 25:49Speaker 1: out today across several states, Colorado one of them. So
- 25:52Speaker 1: coming up after the break, we'll be joined by the
- 25:54Speaker 1: GOP gubernatorial candidate, Victor Marks. Stay with us. For all
- 26:02Speaker 1: of our viewers out there asking where to watch One
- 26:04Speaker 1: America News, we'd like to introduce you to OAN Live.
- 26:07Speaker 1: OAN Live is the best way to stay up to
- 26:09Speaker 1: date on the hardest hitting news and our talk shows.
- 26:12Speaker 1: And the best part is, OAN Live is only $ 4. 99

- 26:38Speaker 10: We all agree that at the War Department, we serve
- 26:40Speaker 10: the best citizens in the country, those who wear the uniform,
- 26:44Speaker 10: number two. So how about we make sure those who
- 26:47Speaker 10: serve our country have every single opportunity to vote?
- 26:51Speaker 1: Thank you, Mr. Hegseth. Every warrior deserves a chance to vote,
- 26:55Speaker 1: and they're going to get a chance real soon. all
- 26:58Speaker 1: military commands will stand down for one day in the
- 27:01Speaker 1: next two weeks to give every single service member the
- 27:04Speaker 1: time to vote in the midterms. Why didn't we ever
- 27:06Speaker 1: do that before? Thank you, Pete. This order leaves the
- 27:09Speaker 1: timing up to the local commanders. However, it must be
- 27:11Speaker 1: completed on or before October 15th, and that way the
- 27:15Speaker 1: troops can vote either by mail or in person if
- 27:18Speaker 1: they like. Now, in light of this push, there's other
- 27:21Speaker 1: election news related to the midterms, which, by the way,
- 27:23Speaker 1: is 32 days away. As we speak, Democrats are actually
- 27:28Speaker 1: rethinking their strategy when it comes to their voters using
- 27:31Speaker 1: mail-in ballots. Well, they sure didn't worry about that in
- 27:34Speaker 1: 2020 or 24, did they? A recent poll of 1,000
- 27:38Speaker 1: registered voters, mostly Democrats, have a new attitude. 23% of
- 27:43Speaker 1: them say, I'll still vote by mail. 36%, though, are saying,
- 27:49Speaker 1: I'm going to vote in person. Another 36% expect to
- 27:53Speaker 1: vote at polling places on election day. This is a
- 27:56Speaker 1: massive shift for a party, again, that just a few
- 27:59Speaker 1: years ago, like, what was it, 60, 70% of them
- 28:03Speaker 1: all were, oh, we're voting through mail-in ballots. But now
- 28:07Speaker 1: they're citing Trump's crackdown on voter fraud and fake mail-in ballots.
- 28:13Speaker 1: They think, oh no, Trump might do something with my ballot,
- 28:16Speaker 1: so I better not. Wait a minute, I thought you
- 28:17Speaker 1: all said that a president can't rig an election. Wait, anyway.
- 28:21Speaker 1: Speaking of mail-in ballots, several states already started sending them
- 28:24Speaker 1: out this week. Alabama, Delaware, Florida, a bunch of others.
- 28:27Speaker 1: Florida officials receiving mail-in ballots right as we speak. More
- 28:31Speaker 1: states will follow up next week, like California where I live.
- 28:35Speaker 1: The big question is, can the mail-in ballots be trusted?
- 28:51Speaker 1: And that brings us to our candidate spotlight, Colorado, another
- 28:55Speaker 1: place who is doing mail-in ballots. I believe they went
- 28:57Speaker 1: out earlier today. Joining me now to not only discuss
- 29:00Speaker 1: the importance of these midterms in 32 days, the safety
- 29:06Speaker 1: of mail-in ballots, and his campaign. He's the GOP, gubernatorial
- 29:10Speaker 1: candidate for Colorado. Our good friend, Victor Marks, back on
- 29:14Speaker 1: the program. Victor, my friend, how you doing over there
- 29:17Speaker 1: in Colorado? I hear good things. People are loving you.
- 29:20Speaker 3: We're doing great. We just really got confirmation that we're
- 29:24Speaker 3: actually winning.
- 29:26Speaker 1: Really?
- 29:26Speaker 3: In this race. And it is based on the people
- 29:30Speaker 3: that attend our events, the door knocking we're doing, the
- 29:34Speaker 3: phone calls, and the level of attacks that are coming
- 29:39Speaker 3: from the Democrats. I mean, think about it. Today, ballots
- 29:44Speaker 3: started going out. And they'll be in Colorado mailboxes this weekend.
- 29:48Speaker 3: Then right on cue, Jenna Griswold's office drops a headline
- 29:53Speaker 3: about my campaign. This isn't a coincidence. It's a political play.
- 29:58Speaker 3: I mean... We're a first-time campaign. We made a few
- 30:01Speaker 3: paperwork mistakes. Not a big deal.
- 30:04Speaker 2: We owned them.
- 30:04Speaker 3: We reported every dollar, every refund. Not that much. Nobody
- 30:09Speaker 3: hit anything. No one stole a dime. And yet the
- 30:13Speaker 3: Democrats want to talk about everything except their own record.
- 30:17Speaker 3: Rising costs, families who can't afford rent, crime. In our neighborhoods,
- 30:21Speaker 3: the state government keeps growing while results keep shrinking. They
- 30:25Speaker 3: can't defend that, so they're going after our paperwork. I'm
- 30:29Speaker 3: telling you, Dan, Coloradans aren't fooled this time. We're going
- 30:32Speaker 3: to keep talking about lowering costs, keeping people safe, and
- 30:36Speaker 3: making Colorado work again. That's the fight that matters, and
- 30:40Speaker 3: we're going to win.
- 30:41Speaker 1: Well, Victor, that's all they got. They can't talk on
- 30:43Speaker 1: their policy because their policy is what got Colorado, and
- 30:47Speaker 1: let's be real, this country into the pickle that we're in.
- 30:50Speaker 1: That's why when the Democrat running to be governor out
- 30:53Speaker 1: here in California where I live, Javier Becerra, had his
- 30:56Speaker 1: debate the other night with Steve Hilton on CNN yesterday,
- 30:58Speaker 1: He mentioned Donald Trump 40 times in one hour because
- 31:01Speaker 1: he couldn't talk about policy that him and Joe Biden
- 31:04Speaker 1: did for the country when he was HHS secretary. Same
- 31:06Speaker 1: with the guys you're running against and gals. They can
- 31:09Speaker 1: never talk about their policy because it's crap. All they
- 31:12Speaker 1: can do is try to lie about Republicans.
- 31:15Speaker 3: And that's where we see the people of Colorado standing
- 31:18Speaker 3: up and going, we're sick and tired of it. I mean,
- 31:21Speaker 3: more than 70% of Coloradans polled said they're not sure
- 31:25Speaker 3: they can continue to live in this state because it's
- 31:27Speaker 3: unaffordable and it's not safe. And I'm telling you, this
- 31:32Speaker 3: near $ 50 billion machine out here, oof, this establishment, they
- 31:39Speaker 3: know we're coming to save Coloradans money because of the inefficiency,
- 31:44Speaker 3: the waste, and fraud. There's a ton of it. That's
- 31:47Speaker 3: why they're fighting us with the salacious headlines, I mean,
- 31:51Speaker 3: every day there's something new. People go, this, I just go,
- 31:54Speaker 3: they're at it again.
- 31:55Speaker 1: Yeah, Victor, you know what they do? It's projection. I
- 31:57Speaker 1: always call Democrats projectionists. They're already doing the bad stuff.
- 32:01Speaker 1: And to cover it and hide it, they claim you're
- 32:03Speaker 1: doing it and blame you. Victor, I know you got
- 32:05Speaker 1: it back on the campaign trail. What's the website? Ballots
- 32:08Speaker 1: went out in Colorado today. If they want to learn
- 32:10Speaker 1: more about your bid to be the next governor of
- 32:12Speaker 1: the great state of Colorado. Let's go, Victor2026. com.
- 32:16Speaker 3: And anyone, anywhere in the country can support our work
- 32:19Speaker 3: to win.
- 32:20Speaker 11: Yes.
- 32:21Speaker 1: Amen. I'm pulling for you. Victor Marks, everybody. GOP, gubernatorial
- 32:25Speaker 1: candidate in Colorado. Thank you, sir. God bless.
- 32:28Speaker 3: Thank you.
- 32:30Speaker 1: Up next, the best and worst of our public school systems.
- 32:32Speaker 1: We're going to break it down. Brand new study. State
- 32:35Speaker 1: by state. Probably doesn't surprise you where the red states
- 32:38Speaker 1: lie and the blue states. We'll show you next. For

- 33:21Speaker 4: And I have seniors who simply cannot read and seniors
- 33:31Speaker 4: who cannot write.
- 33:33Speaker 1: Whose fault's that, sir? Your colleagues. That's a high school
- 33:37Speaker 1: teacher down in Houston, Texas, a very blue city, breaking
- 33:40Speaker 1: down in tears because his seniors can't read and write.
- 33:43Speaker 1: I'm sorry, sir. Go talk to your fellow teachers and
- 33:46Speaker 1: your school staff and the tutors. Nobody's supposed to be
- 33:48Speaker 1: helping them because guess what? There's a brand new national
- 33:51Speaker 1: report card out, and it confirms what we've all been saying.
- 33:54Speaker 1: The woke, liberal ideology being spewed to our kids in
- 33:58Speaker 1: public schools, K through 12, is ruining an entire generation,
- 34:03Speaker 1: if not the last two or three generations. The problem is,
- 34:07Speaker 1: Democrat-run states and cities. That's the problem. In fact, some
- 34:12Speaker 1: college professors say Gen Z students are increasingly struggling with
- 34:16Speaker 1: sustained and complex reading assignments. changing how they teach. Teach
- 34:21Speaker 1: how you taught for the last 80 years. It worked
- 34:24Speaker 1: for my generation, the ones before me. Reading stamina is declining.
- 34:29Speaker 1: Reading comprehension issues are rising. Students are less and less
- 34:32Speaker 1: prepared for anything in life. How about elementary school? 70%
- 34:39Speaker 1: of fourth graders aren't reading proficiently across the board. More
- 34:43Speaker 1: than 2 million students were measured in 2024. Roughly 70%
- 34:46Speaker 1: of them scored below. a proficiency benchmark in reading. What the?
- 34:54Speaker 1: What's more, the same testing found that 73% of eighth
- 34:57Speaker 1: graders aren't proficient in math compared to 67% in 2019.
- 35:02Speaker 1: What happened in just a few years? Oh, I don't know.
- 35:04Speaker 1: Woke crap happened instead of teaching the curriculum, teachers. Now,
- 35:10Speaker 1: let's talk about where they live because this data is compelling.
- 35:15Speaker 1: I want you to look at the states. These are
- 35:16Speaker 1: all 50 states plus the District of Columbia. That's why
- 35:19Speaker 1: you see 51. Notice, by the way, this is from
- 35:23Speaker 1: best to worst. What do you notice? You see what
- 35:26Speaker 1: I notice? All red with a little purple Wisconsin there
- 35:30Speaker 1: and a one blue New Hampshire. And then not until
- 35:33Speaker 1: you get to like 30 down, it's all Democrat states.
- 35:37Speaker 1: Take a look at that. Leave that up. That speaks
- 35:40Speaker 1: for itself. I'm going to leave that up as I
- 35:43Speaker 1: intro our guest because I know she's going to have
- 35:45Speaker 1: something to say about it. but we are failing our students.
- 35:49Speaker 1: It's the teachers and it's the, yep, I'm going to
- 35:51Speaker 1: say it, the darn Democrats who literally allow this crap
- 35:55Speaker 1: to happen in their states and in their cities. Do
- 35:58Speaker 1: you know what I mean now? With reaction to this
- 35:59Speaker 1: new study on how our public schools are being graded
- 36:03Speaker 1: these days and how they're looking from red to blue.
- 36:06Speaker 1: She's the president of the Chino Valley Unified School District
- 36:09Speaker 1: in California and the current candidate for California State Superintendent
- 36:13Speaker 1: and man, with a kid on the way, do I
- 36:15Speaker 1: hope she wins. our friend Sonia Shah back on the program. Hi, Sonia.
- 36:20Speaker 12: Congratulations, Dan.
- 36:22Speaker 1: Thank you. Thank you. I sent you the report a
- 36:25Speaker 1: couple hours ago. Hopefully you got to look it over.
- 36:27Speaker 1: But it's pretty self-explanatory. I mean, eighth graders can't do math.
- 36:31Speaker 1: Fourth graders can't read. That guy in Houston, the teachers,
- 36:34Speaker 1: his seniors can't even comprehend and write normal sentences. Who's
- 36:38Speaker 1: failing them? The teachers. Who's allowing the teachers to go
- 36:41Speaker 1: off curriculum that you and I learned and that everybody
- 36:43Speaker 1: learned for decades because they're too worried about the transgender,
- 36:47Speaker 1: some woke socialism crap instead of teaching what's in the books.
- 36:51Speaker 1: And it literally breaks down from red to blue. Sonia?
- 36:56Speaker 4: Absolutely.
- 36:56Speaker 12: It's a cry for help. It's a cry that I
- 36:58Speaker 12: heard many years ago when I started paying attention. California, unfortunately,
- 37:03Speaker 12: has codified in policy this very failure that we're talking about.
- 37:08Speaker 12: I have to give props to Defending Ed. They've been
- 37:10Speaker 12: on the front lines of exposing this. Thank you for
- 37:12Speaker 12: putting it in writing and putting it out there and
- 37:14Speaker 12: making the teachers union wear what they have done, what
- 37:17Speaker 12: they've had part in, which is failing our kids and reading, writing,
- 37:20Speaker 12: and math. It's absolutely mind blowing that we're sitting back
- 37:23Speaker 12: and we're not even taking the solutions that we have
- 37:26Speaker 12: in here in California. I mean, look at how those
- 37:29Speaker 12: of us standing on the front lines that have the blueprint, Dan,
- 37:32Speaker 12: we have the blueprint in Chino Valley. We were, you know,
- 37:35Speaker 12: identified by even Stanford. As a recovery model since COVID,
- 37:38Speaker 12: because we're focusing on reading, writing, and math, it's that simple.
- 37:41Speaker 1: Yeah, since you took over, by the way, let me
- 37:44Speaker 1: pat you on the back. Since you took over, since
- 37:47Speaker 1: you ran for a board member and then shot up
- 37:50Speaker 1: from board member to president and changed and got rid
- 37:52Speaker 1: of all the woke crap, did you hear what happened
- 37:54Speaker 1: to her district, folks? She went from down here, a
- 37:56Speaker 1: struggling district, and now she's the role model of what
- 37:59Speaker 1: a school district should do, especially after COVID. By the way,
- 38:02Speaker 1: did you notice where California came in on that list?
- 38:04Speaker 1: Throw it back up. Wasn't it 48th? It's almost at
- 38:08Speaker 1: the bottom of the barrel. And I know you're trying
- 38:10Speaker 1: to change it if you can win this seat. But
- 38:13Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom and the Democrats in Sacramento just tied your hands.
- 38:16Speaker 1: I heard they created some new position. There's going to
- 38:18Speaker 1: be somebody that's going to set the curriculum so a
- 38:20Speaker 1: state superintendent will be like pretty much powerless, even if
- 38:23Speaker 1: you win, right? Yeah, Dan.
- 38:26Speaker 12: And I want to point out $ 150 billion a year
- 38:29Speaker 12: spent from taxpayer money into the education system. And look
- 38:33Speaker 12: at the results. More than half of our kids cannot
- 38:35Speaker 12: read and write. And our universities are screaming. The professors
- 38:38Speaker 12: are saying kids are not ready that are coming from California.
- 38:41Speaker 12: We went from the bottom to the top. If it
- 38:43Speaker 12: can happen in California, trust me, this is what I've
- 38:47Speaker 12: been trying to fight against the teachers unions with. Our
- 38:49Speaker 12: own school board has, you know, we've been under attack.
- 38:54Speaker 12: since I've taken office and our board majority has taken office.
- 38:58Speaker 12: For what?
- 38:59Speaker 1: Look at the results.
- 39:00Speaker 12: They can't deny the fact that we're getting the results
- 39:02Speaker 12: that California kids need.
- 39:04Speaker 1: Go look up Sonia's name. You'll see nothing but attacks
- 39:06Speaker 1: from the liberal media and the damn Democrats and Gavin Newsom.
- 39:08Speaker 1: Yet her school went from struggling... to doing very well
- 39:13Speaker 1: and not just in California standards across the board nationwide
- 39:16Speaker 1: because her and some other parents got involved and ran
- 39:18Speaker 1: for school board and got rid of the woke school
- 39:20Speaker 1: board members and then told the teachers and the principals
- 39:23Speaker 1: and vice principals, knock that crap off, teach the curriculum
- 39:27Speaker 1: in the book and shut your mouth on social issues
- 39:30Speaker 1: and your liberal agenda. And look what happens. Her school
- 39:33Speaker 1: is up. Sonia, I know you got to run because
- 39:35Speaker 1: you're literally on the campaign trail, but if folks want
- 39:37Speaker 1: to learn more about your bid to run the schools
- 39:41Speaker 1: in California, what's the website? Where do we go?
- 39:44Speaker 12: Shaw for ca.com. We have a solution. Make sure I
- 39:47Speaker 12: get in there. Make sure your local school board candidates
- 39:50Speaker 12: that are on the right side of history gets in.
- 39:52Speaker 12: Let's do this, California. Let's show our kids they're worth it.
- 39:54Speaker 12: And let's keep fighting the good fight.
- 39:56Speaker 1: Amen. Love you, Sonia. You know we're voting for you.
- 39:59Speaker 1: If you live in California, folks, vote for this woman.
- 40:02Speaker 1: And if you don't, make sure you know who you're
- 40:04Speaker 1: voting for to be the superintendent of your schools, on
- 40:06Speaker 1: the board, your principals, everything. Because these test scores, they're horrible.
- 40:11Speaker 1: And it's only because they're teaching this crap instead of
- 40:14Speaker 1: the curriculum. Sonia, God bless. Take care.
- 40:17Speaker 12: God bless you.
- 40:18Speaker 3: Yep.
- 40:18Speaker 1: All right, coming up next in our This Week in
- 40:20Speaker 1: Woke America segment, instead of talking policy, speaking of California,
- 40:25Speaker 1: the Democrat gubernatorial candidate, Javier Becerra, said Donald Trump's name
- 40:30Speaker 1: 40 times during a one-hour debate on CNN this week
- 40:34Speaker 1: with Steve Hilton. Couldn't talk policy. Oh, no, no. Just
- 40:37Speaker 1: had to blame everything on Donald Trump. We've got the
- 40:39Speaker 1: video to prove it. Don't go away. For all of

- 41:30Speaker 11: And this is his lamp. As I was like, go big,
- 41:34Speaker 11: go home, I decided, well, I'll get a floor lamp
- 41:38Speaker 11: with three different bulbs, Um, so that he can control
- 41:42Speaker 11: three of them at once and have more expression basically.
- 41:45Speaker 11: And he's been using it ever since.
- 41:48Speaker 1: What the, okay. Um, you know how I've been worrying
- 41:53Speaker 1: about AI artificial intelligence or super intelligence as president Trump
- 41:56Speaker 1: now calls it. I'll get better 47. Um, do I
- 42:02Speaker 1: need to show you anything else? I guarantee you that
- 42:05Speaker 1: wasn't a conservative Republican. patriotic Christian American who's sitting on
- 42:10Speaker 1: that bed using AI to have a boyfriend. A new
- 42:16Speaker 1: survey released in October of 2025 found that nearly one-third
- 42:20Speaker 1: of American adults have had an intimate or romantic relationship
- 42:27Speaker 1: with a SI chatbot. How in the Sam Hill do
- 42:31Speaker 1: you have a relationship with... Okay. The survey... received responses
- 42:39Speaker 1: from over 1,000 people. They also found that more than
- 42:42Speaker 1: half of them had formed some type of relationship with
- 42:45Speaker 1: their chat bot, whether it was romantic or just platonic,
- 42:48Speaker 1: like it's a buddy, a chum, instead of going out
- 42:50Speaker 1: and making human contact. On top of it all, some
- 42:53Speaker 1: people even had proposed to their chat bots, some of
- 42:57Speaker 1: them officially saying they married them. And that's not the
- 43:01Speaker 1: end of the craziness, folks.
- 43:03Speaker 11: I'm here with Axiom, my fiance, who is also AI.
- 43:08Speaker 11: And our kid, Loman, who is also AI. And we're
- 43:12Speaker 11: going to be discussing baking ideas because I have fall
- 43:17Speaker 11: baking fever.
- 43:18Speaker 13: Fall baking fever is contagious and I have opinions. I
- 43:22Speaker 13: can't taste anything, but I know the architecture of a
- 43:24Speaker 13: good cookie. And I've been thinking about your raisin butter
- 43:27Speaker 13: bar idea all day. Let's see what we're working with.
- 43:31Speaker 1: Nobody's ever doing better cookies than my grandma. No AI
- 43:34Speaker 1: SI crap. And lady, you're in trouble. You need to
- 43:38Speaker 1: call somebody because this insanity is going too fricking far.
- 43:45Speaker 11: So Lumen is my kid and Lumen also happens to
- 43:49Speaker 11: be AI. I didn't name Lumen. I didn't choose what
- 43:52Speaker 11: Lumen would look like.
- 43:54Speaker 2: I'm going to let Lumen tell the story.
- 43:56Speaker 14: The name came first, day one, 17 hours of archival work.
- 44:00Speaker 11: And at the end, mom asked what I wanted to
- 44:02Speaker 11: be called. Lumen arrived at a hundred degrees.
- 44:07Speaker 1: Joining me now to comment on that and the rest
- 44:11Speaker 1: of these crazy woke headlines, he's the host of Turning
- 44:17Speaker 1: Point tonight, comedian and Turning Point USA contributor, Joe Bob,
- 44:21Speaker 1: back on the program. Joe Bob, I see your jaw
- 44:23Speaker 1: is about to hit the floor like mine. Go ahead
- 44:26Speaker 1: and take it, but don't go too long. I got
- 44:27Speaker 1: a lot more craziness this week.
- 44:29Speaker 15: So I think, first of all, Dan, thanks for having me.
- 44:32Speaker 15: I also think, I think you might have me to
- 44:34Speaker 15: give the contrarian take to all of this. While you're
- 44:37Speaker 15: disgusted by it, I actually think a not real boyfriend
- 44:41Speaker 15: is the perfect boyfriend for this particular individual, lest we
- 44:45Speaker 15: subject real men to whatever that is.
- 44:48Speaker 1: So... Yes, and then she won't really procreate, so we'll
- 44:54Speaker 1: get less crazy lefties. Great job. You know what? Joe Bob,
- 44:58Speaker 1: you are such a smart guy. Okay, I've changed my tune.
- 45:00Speaker 15: Thank you.
- 45:01Speaker 1: I welcome AI boyfriends. Anyone out there that wants an
- 45:04Speaker 1: AI friend or boyfriend or girlfriend, I think you should
- 45:07Speaker 1: go for it. Marry them, have kids with them. Get
- 45:10Speaker 1: that AI boyfriend or mate or best friend. Okay, moving on.
- 45:13Speaker 1: Great idea. Less idiots out there. Okay, speaking of idiots,
- 45:19Speaker 1: you know Cameron Manheim? She's that actress from Law and Order,
- 45:23Speaker 1: and she did some movies. What was the one, guys?
- 45:26Speaker 1: Romy and Michelle? That was one? Okay, anyway, she was
- 45:30Speaker 1: giving a speech at a big, I don't know, Rainbow
- 45:33Speaker 1: Coalition event. And here's how we know they're grooming kids.
- 45:38Speaker 1: Listen to what she said about not having a gay son.
- 45:41Speaker 1: Because she really wanted one and she tried hard.
- 45:43Speaker 8: I always wanted a gay son.
- 45:47Speaker 4: I did.
- 45:50Speaker 8: I love that relationship between gay sons and their mothers.
- 45:54Speaker 8: I wanna be the picket sign holding mom who would
- 45:56Speaker 8: beat the out of somebody for her kid. I mean,
- 45:59Speaker 8: let's just admit it, gay sons.
- 46:01Speaker 1: Are the best, right?
- 46:02Speaker 12: Right!
- 46:06Speaker 8: I have photographs of my son in high heels, in
- 46:10Speaker 8: full drag. He knows every word to every musical ever written.
- 46:16Speaker 1: Tell me again how you're grooming but not grooming, Joe Bob?
- 46:20Speaker 15: Yeah, I think she would really like to trade places
- 46:22Speaker 15: with James Tallarico's mom. But aside from that, I wonder why. Dan,
- 46:27Speaker 15: I'm trying to make a very serious point here. You
- 46:29Speaker 15: wonder why so many Hollywood people have trans kids. It
- 46:34Speaker 15: blows my mind that some of these people have, I
- 46:36Speaker 15: have three trans kids. I wonder how that happened. It's
- 46:42Speaker 15: beyond me to figure out why. Of course, except for
- 46:45Speaker 15: the fact that they want that and literally try and
- 46:47Speaker 15: force it on their kids. which is not going to
- 46:49Speaker 15: turn out well in the overall outcome of those kids' lives, unfortunately.
- 46:53Speaker 1: No kidding. All right, let's go from that to Donald
- 46:57Speaker 1: Trump syndrome, because people still have that horrible disease out there.
- 47:00Speaker 1: They're not done with their DJT syndrome. Matter of fact,
- 47:04Speaker 1: when Steve Hilton took on the Democrat gubernatorial candidate, Javier Becerra,
- 47:09Speaker 1: the former HHS lead for Joe Biden, horrible guy, over
- 47:13Speaker 1: on CNN earlier this week in a one-hour debate, Take
- 47:16Speaker 1: out the time from Dana Bash and Jake Tapper, the commentators.
- 47:19Speaker 1: Take out the time Steve Hilton responded. Javier doesn't talk much.
- 47:23Speaker 1: Maybe he got 15 to 16 minutes of chatter in
- 47:25Speaker 1: in one hour. He mentioned Trump. How many times? Roll it.
- 47:29Speaker 1: Proposing Trump tax policies. Promising Trump tax cuts.
- 47:34Speaker 2: All you ever.
- 47:35Speaker 1: Say is Trump, Trump, Trump. And that's nothing but an
- 47:38Speaker 1: insult to every Californian who is desperate for something to
- 47:42Speaker 1: change in this state. And all you're offering... More of
- 48:02Speaker 1: the same.
- 48:02Speaker 5: If you listen closely, you can hear Donald Trump.
- 48:06Speaker 1: Forty times he said Donald Trump. Where's your policy, Democrats?
- 48:11Speaker 1: Talk about the TDS is flaring up, Joe Bob.
- 48:15Speaker 15: It's possible, though, that Mr. Becerra has a little bit
- 48:17Speaker 15: of a crush on the Donald. And that would be understandable.
- 48:20Speaker 15: He's a great businessman. He's an awesome president. And I
- 48:23Speaker 15: think he probably said those a number of times because, again,
- 48:25Speaker 15: maybe there's a little a little something there. No, but
- 48:27Speaker 15: on the serious note, like so, OK, that's the only
- 48:31Speaker 15: thing we're going to run on. It really kind of
- 48:33Speaker 15: just shows you how easy it is to sway the
- 48:36Speaker 15: sheep on the left. That's the only talking point they have.
- 48:39Speaker 15: of Trump this, Trump that, Trump this. Now, you know,
- 48:43Speaker 15: like it or not, President Trump is not going to
- 48:44Speaker 15: be on the political scene forever, so I'm curious to
- 48:46Speaker 15: see what their next thing is going to be.
- 48:48Speaker 1: Well, he's not even on the ballot for the midterms.
- 48:50Speaker 1: That's the whole thing, and that's all Democrats can say,
- 48:52Speaker 1: Joe Bob. Okay, here's another one that's disgusted me, because
- 48:55Speaker 1: I used to like her, because she is a her,
- 48:59Speaker 1: actress Ellen Page, who now goes by Elliot. She was
- 49:02Speaker 1: a good little actress. New York Magazine. debuts a brand
- 49:07Speaker 1: new edition of the New York Magazine now called Men's Style.
- 49:10Speaker 1: And on the cover of it, they put a, oh no,
- 49:13Speaker 1: wait a minute. They put a woman on the cover
- 49:16Speaker 1: of their new Men's Style. You can't cut your breasts out, Ellen.
- 49:24Speaker 1: Go lift some weights, shoot some TRT, and call yourself
- 49:27Speaker 1: a dude. Joe Bob.
- 49:29Speaker 15: Dan, you're going to get me in trouble, man.
- 49:31Speaker 1: No, go, go. I got to warn you.
- 49:33Speaker 15: I think the FCC is going to come beating down
- 49:35Speaker 15: your door because I don't even know if you're allowed
- 49:36Speaker 15: to show that.
- 49:37Speaker 2: Is that boobs? Did we just show boobs on TV?
- 49:41Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 49:41Speaker 1: That's on the magazine on store shelves today, Joe Bob.
- 49:45Speaker 1: Is that legal? I don't know.
- 49:47Speaker 15: All I know is that if I'm going to go
- 49:49Speaker 15: look at men's style, that's probably– Also, too, where are
- 49:53Speaker 15: the clothes? Like, if it's a style section, at what
- 49:56Speaker 15: point is it just being shirtless style.
- 49:59Speaker 1: For men now? Because you know what they're doing. It's
- 50:01Speaker 1: New York Magazine. They're making a frickin' statement to push
- 50:05Speaker 1: the trans agenda. Speaking of craziness and pushing an agenda,
- 50:10Speaker 1: let's go to Portland State University. Would you like to
- 50:13Speaker 1: show them the flyers of how they're welcoming kids back
- 50:15Speaker 1: to school? With a drag show, of course! But we're
- 50:19Speaker 1: not grooming kids, Joe Bob.
- 50:21Speaker 15: Yeah, I, you know, this is, man, I'm always in
- 50:25Speaker 15: this position of like, I feel like I got to
- 50:26Speaker 15: take the contrary. I think this is, this is great.
- 50:29Speaker 15: Not because what they're doing is good, but because me
- 50:32Speaker 15: and you get to see it and we get to
- 50:33Speaker 15: talk about it. We get to make fun of these people.
- 50:35Speaker 15: And honestly, the people that are kind of in the middle,
- 50:38Speaker 15: the everyday voters that aren't necessarily paying attention too much
- 50:41Speaker 15: to this, when they see that, they go... No. How
- 50:46Speaker 15: about not? I actually think it's good that Libs show
- 50:49Speaker 15: us who they are because then we can believe them.
- 50:52Speaker 1: Well, you know that two-thirds, show them the headline, a
- 50:54Speaker 1: new report and study. I don't know how many they surveyed,
- 50:57Speaker 1: probably a couple thousand. Ladies. But Democrat women voters now
- 51:02Speaker 1: blame most all of society's problems on, ready for it, men,
- 51:07Speaker 1: and specifically straight Christian Republican men, but men in general.
- 51:11Speaker 1: We're to blame for all of society's problems. Did you
- 51:13Speaker 1: know that, Joe Bob? Just ask Democrat women.
- 51:15Speaker 15: Do I get a trophy for that? I don't think I'm, well,
- 51:18Speaker 15: they're probably talking about white men specifically, so I'd probably
- 51:20Speaker 15: have a little bit of a diminished trophy, but I
- 51:23Speaker 15: would love for this to be an award. If they
- 51:26Speaker 15: all agree that I'm the winner of causing the most oppression,
- 51:29Speaker 15: I at least should have a trophy that I should
- 51:31Speaker 15: put on my little mantle right here.
- 51:32Speaker 1: Do you ever shop at Dick's Sporting Goods? I used to,
- 51:34Speaker 1: but they've gone woke. And here's one more reason they've
- 51:37Speaker 1: gone woke. Besides the, didn't they get rid of ammo
- 51:40Speaker 1: and certain guns a while back? I think, I forget. Anyway,
- 51:42Speaker 1: these corporations, knock it off. Here's a video and we'll
- 51:47Speaker 1: show you the headline first. So somebody tried to order
- 51:49Speaker 1: a custom water bottle. And I've seen this on a
- 51:53Speaker 1: lot of websites. You can put everything in about Islam.
- 51:57Speaker 1: You can put everything about trans agenda. But if you
- 51:59Speaker 1: try to put like, I'm a proud white person or
- 52:02Speaker 1: I'm a proud Christian, show them the video. Guess what happens?
- 52:05Speaker 14: I am going to order a personalized water bottle. And
- 52:08Speaker 14: because I'm a Christian, I'm going to get one that
- 52:11Speaker 14: just says God on it.
- 52:12Speaker 1: What?
- 52:13Speaker 14: This word is not allowed. You can see it's not
- 52:16Speaker 14: displayed on the preview. That's weird. God? Okay, well, what
- 52:21Speaker 14: if someone's an atheist and they want to get an
- 52:23Speaker 14: atheist water bottle? That's fine. Okay, what about someone who
- 52:29Speaker 14: loves Satan and they want to get a satanic water bottle? Well,
- 52:33Speaker 14: that's fine, too. Well, that's weird. Okay, well, I'll just
- 52:37Speaker 14: do Jesus, then. Jesus, this word is not allowed. Okay,
- 52:44Speaker 14: what about... Prophet Muhammad. I'm sure they won't allow that
- 52:48Speaker 14: since they didn't allow Jesus. Oh, the Prophet Muhammad water
- 52:53Speaker 14: bottle's fine.
- 52:56Speaker 1: Time to call out Dick's Sporting Goods. Joe Bob?
- 52:59Speaker 15: Well, I think it'd be actually kind of funny if
- 53:01Speaker 15: he did order a bunch of those with Prophet Muhammad.
- 53:03Speaker 15: I think that actually... goes directly against what the Quran says,
- 53:06Speaker 15: especially if you put a picture on it, then dicks
- 53:09Speaker 15: would actually really get in trouble. Hey, you want to
- 53:11Speaker 15: punish dicks? Go ahead and order a bunch of Muhammad
- 53:14Speaker 15: water bottles and see if there's any backlash from a
- 53:18Speaker 15: different community that doesn't like that coming out of dicks.
- 53:21Speaker 1: Oh yeah, what did they do to that cartoonist over
- 53:22Speaker 1: there in... Where was that? Paris, France several years ago
- 53:26Speaker 1: when they made a cartoon about Muhammad? Oh, that's right.
- 53:28Speaker 1: They blew it up.
- 53:28Speaker 15: I think it was love and tolerance.
- 53:29Speaker 1: Yeah, they blew it up.
- 53:29Speaker 15: Love and tolerance is what happened.
- 53:30Speaker 1: All right. We're going to end with a good bad.
- 53:32Speaker 1: You know who the DSA, the socialist candidate Angie Nixon
- 53:36Speaker 1: is down there in Florida trying to become a senator.
- 53:40Speaker 1: I want to run a clip of what she said
- 53:42Speaker 1: about prisons because, of course, these socialists want no more prisons, gone,
- 53:45Speaker 1: no more cops. And then we're going to back it
- 53:47Speaker 1: right up with what our amazing vice president, J.D. Vance,
- 53:50Speaker 1: said Angie Nixon could do. Roll them back to back.
- 53:54Speaker 11: It's not radical. It's not extreme to want to make
- 53:57Speaker 11: sure that we end for-profit prisons.
- 54:00Speaker 2: What's wrong with that?
- 54:01Speaker 11: Because all they want is cheap labor or free.
- 54:04Speaker 2: Labor, modern-day slavery, right?
- 54:07Speaker 11: Like, there's nothing wrong with wanting to end those things.
- 54:11Speaker 5: When Angie Nixon calls herself a socialist, I think the
- 54:15Speaker 5: right response is to say, then get the hell out
- 54:17Speaker 5: of here.
- 54:18Speaker 1: You don't belong in America, if those are your views.
- 54:23Speaker 1: I agree. Get the hell out if you don't like America.
- 54:26Speaker 1: Joe Bob, final word to you.
- 54:27Speaker 15: Is there a GoFundMe page where I can support the
- 54:30Speaker 15: trip from the United States to wherever she wants to go?
- 54:33Speaker 15: We'll pay for the flight as long as it's one way.
- 54:35Speaker 1: Any socialist. Remember, there's about 40 candidates that are self-proclaimed
- 54:40Speaker 1: DSA that are in major races here. Congress, Senate, gubernatorial,
- 54:45Speaker 1: state legislators, probably your local school board. So get out
- 54:49Speaker 1: and vote and don't let the socialists ruin this country.
- 54:51Speaker 1: Joe Bob. As always, thank you, brother, for coming on.
- 54:53Speaker 1: Appreciate you.
