  Speaker 1: of the show, we are honoring Dolly tonight. Plus, the

  Speaker 1: Supreme Court gives President Trump a big win on his

  Speaker 1: executive order about mail-in ballots right before the most Important
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: midterms in modern.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: History, folks. We'll talk about that tonight.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: And a new report shows that ICE is now arresting
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: thousands and thousands of criminal illegal aliens in record time,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: despite Democrats and the mainstream media's, I don't know, ideas
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: to abolish ICE and attack them? I'm Dan Ball, and
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Real America starts right now.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: Working nine to five. What a way to make a living.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Getting by.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: It's all taking and no giving.
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: Just use your mind and they never give you credit.
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it.
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: And I will.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Always Good Tuesday evening, folks.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: We begin tonight's show with some heartbreaking news about country
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: music superstar and icon Dolly Parton. The woman behind countless
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: hits like several you just heard right there. The world
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: famous singer, actress, philanthropist, songwriter who touched the hearts of
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: millions passed away earlier today at 80 years old. We're
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: told that she went peacefully at her home in Nashville, Tennessee.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Her family hasn't announced the cause of death yet, but
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: we know in recent months she had been facing some
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: health challenges. She even canceled some appearances earlier this year. However,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: you know, the news is still so unexpected and just
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: heart-wrenching when someone like this that you.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Look up to.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: I loved country music, and this gal, nobody could ever
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: say a bad word about Dolly Parton.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: If you did, well, we'd shut you up real quick.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Nonetheless, several high-profile people have already paid their respects today,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: including President Trump. Posting on social media, he called her
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: one of the greatest country singers ever and announced that
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: he's now lowering the flag throughout the entire country for
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: one week, starting tonight in her honor. He also rightfully
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: noted that she was one of a kind. Throughout the day,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: we also heard huge outpourings of support from countless others
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: who were touched by her life, including one of her
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: own nephews.
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: But sadness lies with us, not with Dolly. Dolly has
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: lived in the light and is in the arms of Jesus,
• 3:18
  Speaker 6: surely met by Carl, her parents, and countless others who
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: have watched her and longed for her to meet them
• 3:23
  Speaker 6: in the heavens. Our family and the team she has
• 3:26
  Speaker 6: entrusted with her legacy will work diligently to ensure her
• 3:29
  Speaker 6: spirit will live with us forever. Dolly was a farmer,
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: just like her daddy. He farmed the soil, she farmed
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: songs and happiness. Dolly called me and said she wants
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: to rest in a beautiful bed of plush cotton because
• 3:42
  Speaker 6: after a life wearing heavy rhinestones, she finally deserves to
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: be comfortable and have some rest. Rest in peace, Aunt Dolly.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Our first guest this evening, new Dolly, pal of mine.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Matter of fact, I've heard him bring her up out
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: on the tour bus over the last 10, 11 years
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: that I've known him. Country singer, songwriter, original founder of
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: the band Big & Rich, our pal, John Rich, back
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: on Real America. J.R., Hate to see you on a
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: day like this, but let's have a celebration of life.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: How about that, instead of being sad and mourning? Because
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: what a life Dolly Parton led.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Sir, take it away.
• 4:19
  Speaker 7: Well, she is what I would call a very elite
• 4:23
  Speaker 7: group of American icons and originals. It's hard to find
• 4:29
  Speaker 7: names to put next to the name of Dolly Parton.
• 4:33
  Speaker 7: The names I would say would be people like Johnny Cash,
• 4:36
  Speaker 7: Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley.
• 4:42
  Speaker 8: It's hard to find many. And then there's Dolly Parton.
• 4:45
  Speaker 7: I think the thing about her that not only Americans,
• 4:48
  Speaker 7: but people around the world loved about her so much
• 4:52
  Speaker 7: is her authenticity, which was funny because she would always
• 4:55
  Speaker 7: make jokes about, I've had more work done than a
• 4:59
  Speaker 7: 52 Cadillac, but I paid for it all and it's mine.
• 5:04
  Speaker 8: She would self-deprecate.
• 5:06
  Speaker 7: Which was an endearing fact about her as well, but
• 5:09
  Speaker 7: her music was so authentic. So as a singer-songwriter, let
• 5:12
  Speaker 7: me talk about her as a songwriter for a minute.
• 5:16
  Speaker 8: The songwriters go unnoticed a.
• 5:18
  Speaker 7: Lot of the times, but without human inspiration, a pencil
• 5:23
  Speaker 7: and a piece of paper, the songs that we all
• 5:26
  Speaker 7: love never get written. Your favorite singer can't sing them
• 5:29
  Speaker 7: because it was never created. Dolly would sit around with
• 5:33
  Speaker 7: a pencil and a notebook, and she wrote thousands and
• 5:37
  Speaker 7: thousands of songs.
• 5:39
  Speaker 8: Like, I don't know what the number is.
• 5:41
  Speaker 7: It wouldn't shock me if there were 10,000 songs that
• 5:43
  Speaker 7: she wrote. She was a chronic songwriter, but she would
• 5:47
  Speaker 7: write from a perspective that was uniquely hers. She never
• 5:50
  Speaker 7: tried to write about things that she didn't have experience with.
• 5:53
  Speaker 7: whether it was a love song or a happy song
• 5:56
  Speaker 7: or a cheating song or a song like Jolene, she.
• 5:58
  Speaker 8: Wrote about what she knew.
• 6:00
  Speaker 7: And what do you know, millions of people identified with
• 6:02
  Speaker 7: that because they were going through the same thing. And
• 6:05
  Speaker 7: Dolly became somebody that spoke what they couldn't put into words.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, she has had so many iconic songs.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: I think about the duet with Kenny Rogers. I mean,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: if somebody doesn't sit here, I was singing it before
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: we came on and my wife yelled at me because
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: I can't sing, as you know, JR.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: But I mean.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Who can't do islands in the stream?
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: That is what we, like, I mean.
• 6:26
  Speaker 8: But you can dance.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I can dance a little. She was just, and
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: then the movies, right? And the philanthropy, helping kids and
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: the Dolly world, the amusement park, the charities. When there
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: was a big fire in Tennessee, I remember you guys
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: had a benefit, like she was always there doing stuff
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: for others. She wasn't just an entertainer. She was a
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: damn fine human.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Being, right, JR?
• 6:52
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I think she took her success and leveraged it
• 6:55
  Speaker 7: on behalf of just your average everyday American. And when
• 6:58
  Speaker 7: you think about what was guaranteed us in the Declaration
• 7:01
  Speaker 7: of Independence, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, man,
• 7:06
  Speaker 7: she is the shining example of that. She came from nothing.
• 7:09
  Speaker 7: She built an absolute empire in her music and business,
• 7:12
  Speaker 7: but never forgot the people that lived in the county
• 7:15
  Speaker 7: in Sevier County, Sevierville, Tennessee, never forgot them.
• 7:18
  Speaker 8: Always looked out for them.
• 7:20
  Speaker 7: At Dolly World out there, half the people working there
• 7:24
  Speaker 7: are from her home county.
• 7:26
  Speaker 8: I mean, she hires half the people in the county.
• 7:28
  Speaker 7: At 9 to 5, when she did that movie, the
• 7:31
  Speaker 7: famous story is she showed up and had memorized the
• 7:35
  Speaker 7: entire script. before she showed up and they were just
• 7:38
  Speaker 7: doing a scene at a time. And Dolly's like, wait
• 7:40
  Speaker 7: a minute, we're just doing one scene at a time?
• 7:42
  Speaker 7: She had memorized the whole thing. I mean, hard work,
• 7:45
  Speaker 7: hard work was not a problem for her. And I
• 7:48
  Speaker 7: think her approach was so simple and basic. That's why
• 7:51
  Speaker 7: she was so successful. You could not poke a hole
• 7:54
  Speaker 7: in her work ethic or her talent. Yeah.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, John, you're known as a songwriter. You and
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: I've talked about it.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: You've written a couple thousand songs yourself and not just
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: for yourself, for other singers. What would you say, and
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to say one, it's probably two, three,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: ten things, but just name a couple things that Dolly
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Parton has been responsible for when it comes to country music.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Because I'm sure like every female artist out there, especially
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: the young ones, have to be looking up to this gal, right?
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: But just name a couple of things that if we
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: didn't have Dolly, we wouldn't have had in country music.
• 8:25
  Speaker 7: You know, the big thing she did was when country
• 8:27
  Speaker 7: music got complicated and it's, you know, today it's gotten
• 8:31
  Speaker 7: complicated again, but then it returns back to its roots,
• 8:34
  Speaker 7: almost like a cycle. I tell young artists out there,
• 8:38
  Speaker 7: do not compare yourself to who you're currently competing with.
• 8:41
  Speaker 7: Compare yourself to the greatest of all time. So if
• 8:44
  Speaker 7: you're an up-and-coming young girl and you're a singer and
• 8:47
  Speaker 7: you love Dolly Parton, well, you might be the best
• 8:49
  Speaker 7: up-and-coming young girl singer out there, but are you as
• 8:52
  Speaker 7: good as Dolly Parton? The answer will always be, no,
• 8:56
  Speaker 7: I'm not, if you're being honest, of course not. And
• 8:58
  Speaker 7: so that keeps you pushing and digging and trying to
• 9:01
  Speaker 7: write better, perform better, treat people better, make more out
• 9:06
  Speaker 7: of your talent as you possibly can. Dolly Parton, there's
• 9:10
  Speaker 7: a phrase I love, for someone to exhaust their potential.
• 9:14
  Speaker 8: That's my goal.
• 9:15
  Speaker 7: I think every American should aim to exhaust their potential.
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: Whatever that is.
• 9:19
  Speaker 8: You're an American. You have the right to go after it.
• 9:22
  Speaker 7: And Dolly Parton, to me, was that example of a
• 9:25
  Speaker 7: human being exhausting their potential against all odds, by the way.
• 9:29
  Speaker 8: There's no chance in the world.
• 9:30
  Speaker 7: That on paper Dolly Parton should have become who we
• 9:33
  Speaker 7: all got to know. But she persevered and she became that.
• 9:37
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, she started performing in her teens and she
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: passed at 80. You're talking about 65-plus years of performing
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: on that stage.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: That's amazing, JR.
• 9:48
  Speaker 8: Yeah, and could still hit her notes.
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 9:50
  Speaker 7: I saw her perform at the Ryman Auditorium a couple
• 9:53
  Speaker 7: of years ago, and I'm like, I wonder if she
• 9:54
  Speaker 7: can still hit all the high notes. She hit every
• 9:56
  Speaker 7: single one of them. You know, another testament to her
• 9:58
  Speaker 7: is that her music was not... just loved by country audiences.
• 10:01
  Speaker 7: I mean, I Will Always Love You, as we all know,
• 10:05
  Speaker 7: became one of the biggest pop hits of all time
• 10:07
  Speaker 7: as well.
• 10:08
  Speaker 8: Because, Dan, when you write a lyric.
• 10:12
  Speaker 7: that is that to the point and that simple that
• 10:16
  Speaker 7: anybody anywhere can understand it and feel it, that is
• 10:19
  Speaker 7: the ultimate, ultimate songwriting feat to pull off. Complexity is
• 10:24
  Speaker 7: actually easier than simplicity when it comes to writing songs.
• 10:28
  Speaker 7: Dolly was an absolute master craftsman of a songwriter.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: What do you hope that people will take away from
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: her life and legacy and remember her for as a
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: friend of hers, John?
• 10:41
  Speaker 7: I think what she was willing to do for other
• 10:44
  Speaker 7: people with her success. We see too many times people
• 10:48
  Speaker 7: taking their success and using that almost as a weapon.
• 10:52
  Speaker 7: They weaponize their success and try to make people feel
• 10:55
  Speaker 7: less than or, you know, I've got more power than
• 10:58
  Speaker 7: you or however they work it. And Dolly was the
• 11:00
  Speaker 7: absolute opposite. When Gatlinburg was burning to the ground, Dolly
• 11:04
  Speaker 7: put on a a benefit concert and invited big and rich.
• 11:08
  Speaker 7: And we showed up and got to sing and hang
• 11:11
  Speaker 7: around her and all that money went to, you know,
• 11:14
  Speaker 7: rebuild the woods out in Gatlinburg and Sevierville. That's the
• 11:18
  Speaker 7: kind of lady she was. She cared about people. She
• 11:20
  Speaker 7: had a huge heart. and you could hear it in
• 11:22
  Speaker 7: every note.
• 11:23
  Speaker 8: That she sang. Absolute, absolute iconic, real deal artist.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know what I like too, JR?
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: People would try and drag her in to whether it
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: was politics or religion or anything. She was one of
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: those amazing old school entertainers, like the ones you mentioned,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Johnny Cash, Johnny Carson, Elvis, Frank Sinatra. Anytime people tried
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: to get them into a debate, a fight, a discussion
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: about something, They didn't take the bait. They were always
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: professional and amazing performers, and Dolly always was that.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: 100%.
• 11:59
  Speaker 7: She is the bar that every artist aspires to live
• 12:03
  Speaker 7: up to, without a doubt.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Real quick, I want to let the viewers know, because
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: I'm hoping a whole new generation finds Dolly Parton in
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: her music, JR. We checked her website moments ago.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: Show them. It crashed. We apologize. There's too many people.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Look at that. An abnormal high volume.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: It crashed because so many people are going onto the
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: website to learn more about Dolly Parton. John Rich, few
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: seconds left. I give you the final word.
• 12:27
  Speaker 7: Well, I can promise you, Dan, tonight on Broadway downtown
• 12:30
  Speaker 7: in Nashville, you will be hearing wall-to-wall Dolly Parton music.
• 12:34
  Speaker 7: Redneck Riviera, I bet they sing Jolene ten times.
• 12:37
  Speaker 8: I mean, this is.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: It's like.
• 12:40
  Speaker 7: It's like Elvis Presley dying, except Dolly was even more involved,
• 12:45
  Speaker 7: I believe, in people's everyday lives and was not untouchable.
• 12:49
  Speaker 8: She was totally touchable. She made sure that you could
• 12:52
  Speaker 8: touch her.
• 12:52
  Speaker 7: And if you never did, you felt like you could
• 12:55
  Speaker 7: because she was just that accessible and that genuine of
• 12:58
  Speaker 7: a person. Huge loss for our country. I'm glad President
• 13:01
  Speaker 7: Trump lowered the flags an entire week. Absolutely justified and
• 13:05
  Speaker 7: much respect. And God bless Dolly Parton.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: Amen. John Rich. Appreciate you, brother, for coming on. You
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: take care.
• 13:12
  Speaker 8: Thank you.
• 13:12
  Speaker 7: Yep.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: All righty. Coming up after the break, the.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Supreme Court gives President Trump a major win when it
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: comes to mail-in ballots. And just in time before the midterms,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: we got the scoop on what this means. Riverside County
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Sheriff and former gubernatorial candidate in California, my pal Chad Bianco,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: is going to stop by to discuss his ongoing battle
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: to be able to investigate potential voter fraud. Matter of fact,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: his case before the state Supreme Court. It started yesterday.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Things are heating up. He'll join us and fill us in.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: A brand new report about ICE. They're actually breaking records
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: despite all of the activists, judges and DAs and local
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: politicians who won't call them and turn the bad guys over.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: Well, guess what? They're still arresting them and kicking them out.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: Stay with us. All that and more when we come back.
• 14:05

  Speaker 2: I'll make this signature absolutely perfect. So it looks very good.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: So far, so good. That was back in March, another
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: executive order to try and clean up our elections.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: Thank you, President Trump.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: We begin this segment with some more news out of
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: the swamp, and it has to do with securing our elections.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: So the midterms are, is that right, exactly 70 days away.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: And folks, I'm telling you, even if you're upset with
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: the Republicans, even if you're upset with President Trump because
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: of the conflict in Iran or because prices aren't cheap enough,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: whatever it may be, the Democrats cannot win the midterms.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: We must do everything possible to make sure they do
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: not win. And at the same time, we need to
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: secure our elections and do everything possible to make sure.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: They are secure.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: As you saw right there, the president back in March
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: signed an executive order to improve federal oversight of those
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: mail-in ballots. Now the path is being cleared for this
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: order to actually take effect before the midterms, thanks to SCOTUS.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: So here's the situation.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: On Monday, the Supreme Court lifted an injunction blocking that EO.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: They argued the states who challenged the order filed their
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: lawsuits too soon, giving Team Trump a temporary but very
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: important victory before the midterms. The order, which now tightens
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: restrictions on mail-in ballots by using federal lists to verify voters,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: is still paused due to a separate injunction, but this
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: is still a win. Now, couple this ruling with a
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: new move by the United States Postal Service, and we've
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: got a little momentum here. USPS just approved new eligibility
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: guidelines for absentee and mail-in ballots to ensure that the
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: right ballots go to the right people, which abides by
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: the president's EO. Yeah, follow the order of the president,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: thank you. Now, it's a whole new system with several
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: checks and balances against fraud that can make all the
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: difference on millions of mail-in ballots. The only issue is
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: that a different injunction is blocking them from going into effect,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: once again throwing everything into limbo. So while we wait
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: and see what happens next for the guidelines, we've got
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: some other news coming out of the White House. New
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: reports show the State Department is now cracking down on
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: birth tourism and in record fashion, revoking nearly 900 visas
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: since the first week of August alone. This success is
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: due to a brand new task force dedicated to preventing
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: foreign nationals from just coming to the U.S. and giving
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: birth so they can simply obtain citizenship. They're not coming
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: here to try and become an American. They're trying to
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: make their Chinese little baby an American so in 18
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: years they can bring them back and they can vote. Moreover,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: there are two types of cases. Individuals who apply for
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: tourist visas to evade scrutiny and then organize networks who
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: are facilitating these operations. We told you about a bust
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: not long ago, right? They arrested like 11 Chinese nationals
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: who had done like 1,100, I believe, phony marriages too.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: It's the marriages, the birth, it's the mail-in ballots, it's
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: you name it.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: People are cheating.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: Now, we don't know how widespread this problem is, but
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: we know it's real. And President Trump is fighting for
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: election integrity, folks. And do you think the next president,
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: if it's a damn Democrat, will? Join me now to
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: sound off about all this. He's a vice president of
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: research over at the Government Accountability Institute and the co-host
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: of the Drill Down podcast with Peter Schweitzer. Also, he
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: wrote a book called How the Left Plans to Steal
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: the Next Election. I hope this is science fiction and
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: not reality. Eric Eggers, back on the program. Eric, nice
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: to see you. You want to begin with the birth tourism?
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: Let's begin with the mail-in ballots, because that's the big
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: win on Monday from the Supreme Court. But again, we've
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: got these injunctions, we've got these leftist judges, we've got
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: damn Democrats, and everybody wants to stop President Trump from
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: cleaning up the elections. Now, gee, why would somebody want
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: to do that, Eric?
• 18:49
  Speaker 9: Well, the good news, Dan, is I just got off
• 18:51
  Speaker 9: the phone with my lawyers, and my understanding is the
• 18:53
  Speaker 9: lower court's injunction does not prohibit me from participating in
• 18:55
  Speaker 9: this interview.
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: So I'm happy to be here.
• 18:58
  Speaker 9: What I can tell you is that what Donald Trump
• 19:01
  Speaker 9: and the Trump administration are doing is they are leveraging
• 19:04
  Speaker 9: every weapon they have on behalf of the federal government
• 19:07
  Speaker 9: to make sure these midterm elections are as secure as possible.
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: You mentioned my book. It came out actually in 2018.
• 19:13
  Speaker 9: So the subtitle of How the Left Plans to Steal
• 19:16
  Speaker 9: the Next Election, I'll leave it up to you to
• 19:17
  Speaker 9: decide how fiction it actually was. And the point is,
• 19:20
  Speaker 9: they learned a lesson, and clearly election integrity since that moment, honestly,
• 19:24
  Speaker 9: since the 2016 election, is something the Trump administration takes
• 19:27
  Speaker 9: incredibly seriously. So they're doing executive orders. They're basically telling
• 19:31
  Speaker 9: these blue states, hey, look, buy the ticket, take the ride.
• 19:33
  Speaker 9: You don't want to give your citizenship databases to us
• 19:36
  Speaker 9: to verify the fact that only actual citizens are on there?
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: Then there will be repercussions.
• 19:41
  Speaker 9: We're going to do what we can do based on
• 19:43
  Speaker 9: what we believe our constitutional authority is to limit the ways.
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: That you may then cheat.
• 19:47
  Speaker 9: If you're not willing to make sure only legal names
• 19:49
  Speaker 9: are on the list, then we're going to try to
• 19:50
  Speaker 9: do what we can to make sure that only legal
• 19:52
  Speaker 9: people vote in the most secure way possible.
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: So, I mean, you know it's bad, Dan, and you've
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: talked about this before.
• 19:58
  Speaker 9: When the governor of New Jersey, when blue state governors
• 20:01
  Speaker 9: have to stand up there and admit they found thousands
• 20:04
  Speaker 9: of non-citizens on the voter rolls, there's clearly a problem
• 20:07
  Speaker 9: of the 25 red states that have participated In this verification,
• 20:10
  Speaker 9: they found tens of thousands of non-citizens. The DOJ said,
• 20:13
  Speaker 9: we think there's 190,000 non-citizens on California voter rolls. Gavin Newsom,
• 20:18
  Speaker 9: of course, did not respond to that with the appropriate
• 20:20
  Speaker 9: level of alarm. I think he kind of shimmied and
• 20:22
  Speaker 9: shaked and then tried to put the call off to
• 20:24
  Speaker 9: his lawyers. So it's a real thing, and the Trump
• 20:26
  Speaker 9: administration is doing what they can to take elections back
• 20:29
  Speaker 9: and make them safe again.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you mentioned Newsom, our friend Chad Bianco. The sheriff
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: out here in Riverside County ran for governor. He's got
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: a lawsuit that's at the Supreme Court as we speak
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: because he was trying to investigate potential voter fraud.
• 20:42
  Speaker 9: And consider that example. And to me, that's what's crazy
• 20:44
  Speaker 9: about this. And this just shows you how broken these
• 20:46
  Speaker 9: blue states are on this issue. When Chad Bianco said, listen,
• 20:49
  Speaker 9: we've got citizen reports that we think hundreds of thousands
• 20:52
  Speaker 9: more votes were counted than were actually cast.
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: As a law enforcement official, he wanted to say, look,
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: you know what?
• 20:57
  Speaker 9: Let's do an investigation. Let's seize the evidence. In this case,
• 21:00
  Speaker 9: ballots had already been cast. And what happened, Dan? The
• 21:03
  Speaker 9: courts stopped him. Like, there is no wrong that's being
• 21:06
  Speaker 9: done in that investigation.
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: The election's over.
• 21:09
  Speaker 9: But it just shows you these blue states and these
• 21:11
  Speaker 9: blue courts will do anything they can to stop reasonable
• 21:15
  Speaker 9: investigations from happening.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: And again, Eric, same question.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: Now, why in the earth would Democrats want to do
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: that and stop a law enforcement official from investigating potential
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: ballot fraud? Yeah.
• 21:28
  Speaker 9: Well, why have blue states refused to participate in citizenship verification?
• 21:32
  Speaker 9: And so what the Trump administration has done, this Postal
• 21:35
  Speaker 9: Service move is one step, one kind of arrow in
• 21:38
  Speaker 9: the quiver, if you like. They've also said they're going
• 21:40
  Speaker 9: to withhold grants from the Department of Homeland Security. And
• 21:43
  Speaker 9: the Department of Homeland Security wants two very basic things.
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: They say, let's verify the citizenship of the voter rolls.
• 21:50
  Speaker 9: And also, by the way, hey, can we conduct an
• 21:52
  Speaker 9: audit to make sure that when you're processing your counts,
• 21:55
  Speaker 9: the number of votes cast actually match.
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: Up with the number of ballots you received? It's a
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: very simple thing.
• 22:01
  Speaker 9: But when you look at what happened in Milwaukee just recently,
• 22:03
  Speaker 9: and people show up with flash drives without actual results,
• 22:06
  Speaker 9: like human error happens. These are decentralized laboratories of democracy.
• 22:12
  Speaker 9: Lots of different people make lots of mistakes. The federal
• 22:14
  Speaker 9: government's trying to do what they can to put protocols
• 22:16
  Speaker 9: in place. to make sure people can start to trust
• 22:18
  Speaker 9: elections again.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: How about how you can vouch for people in Minnesota?
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: You saw James O'Keefe and Cam Higby's undercover report.
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: We had them on last week. I'm like, who the
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: hell thought of that rule? Oh, wait. Democrats.
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: That's in my book. Dan, that's up to eight people.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: And you don't have to have ID.
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: No.
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: And it's just like the honor system.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: You just go.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: And by the way.
• 22:36
  Speaker 9: And we've seen how well the honor system goes in
• 22:38
  Speaker 9: Minnesota specifically with, like, taking people's word for it on
• 22:42
  Speaker 9: other systems that are administered by the federal government.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: No, exactly.
• 22:45
  Speaker 9: And that's why I'm optimistic because I think people are
• 22:47
  Speaker 9: waking up and they realize, like, when they see what
• 22:49
  Speaker 9: happened in California, talking about Gavin Newsom, when it takes
• 22:51
  Speaker 9: a month to conduct a count, And because they, unlike
• 22:55
  Speaker 9: the state of Florida, where I live, which we had
• 22:56
  Speaker 9: our election results last week.
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: Done, oh, by the way, in like two hours.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, same thing.
• 23:01
  Speaker 9: They don't start counting absentee ballots until another two weeks in.
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's ridiculous.
• 23:05
  Speaker 9: And so people are smart enough to wise up and say,
• 23:07
  Speaker 9: we know what we think American election should look like,
• 23:09
  Speaker 9: and it's not that.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: And so I think the Trump DOJ and the U.S.
• 23:12
  Speaker 9: Postal Service and Homeland Security, they're just trying to give
• 23:15
  Speaker 9: the American people what they want.
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: This is an.
• 23:17
  Speaker 9: 80-20 issue, and the 80 is not in opposition with
• 23:21
  Speaker 9: what the Trump administration is trying to do.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: No, love it. Eric, great, great work.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: You and Peter and our old friend Seamus Bruner, who's
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: out writing a book and doesn't do TV anymore. So
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: you're taking all the limelight. We love what you guys
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: are doing over there. You guys keep it up at
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: the Government Accountability Institute.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: Anything I miss?
• 23:39
  Speaker 9: Well, I think, you know, Seamus is writing a book.
• 23:41
  Speaker 9: And so as a result, I've had to step into
• 23:43
  Speaker 9: the breach. But listen, you know, like one of us
• 23:45
  Speaker 9: has a tan that's worth television and the other one's
• 23:47
  Speaker 9: not here right now, Dan.
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: So I don't know what to tell you.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: Making fun of that. Pale-skinned Irish boy.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: That's not nice, Eric. I'm going to tell him.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: Appreciate you guys. You take care.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: Thanks, Dan.
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Coming up next on the program, we're going to stick
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: with this election security issue. And what Eric and I
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: just mentioned, by the way, California Supreme Court hearing arguments
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: this week in a major case regarding investigating thousands of
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: potential fraudulent ballots. Why couldn't Sheriff Chad Bianco do that?
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: Why would Democrats want to stop that? We'll discuss that
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: when we come back.
• 24:28

• 26:04
  Speaker 1: let's continue our coverage of the fight for election integrity.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: We were just talking about it a minute ago with
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: our friend Eric Eggers. Now we're going to head to California,
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: where California's state Supreme Court is now considering a major
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: case that will have huge implications for that state's elections.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: What they decide could also impact how other states handle
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: the same matter, making it so critically important. As we speak,
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: California's High Court is weighing a case regarding the seizure
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: of about 650,000 ballots in Riverside County, California, from a
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: special election on a congressional redistricting that was held last November.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: We told you about it, remember? That initiative was Prop 50.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: They lied to everybody about what Prop 50 was gonna do. Anyway,
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: it was backed and created by California Democrats, of course,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: and it allegedly passed by 80,000 votes in Riverside County.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: Enter into the picture our next guest, and my good friend,
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: Riverside County Sheriff, Chad Bianco. He reportedly used criminal search
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: warrants to obtain the ballots so he could conduct a
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: legal investigation to see if the rumors of fraud were true.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: What's wrong with that? Sounds all legit and legal, right?
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: Okay, he was very curious about this alleged discrepancy between
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: preliminary ballot intake and the final vote count because the
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: numbers were off. So he got warrants, he followed the law,
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: But shortly after the ballots were obtained, guess what?
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: Well, Democrats got involved and said he couldn't do it.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: So then a court issued an order halting his investigation
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: and requiring all records to be preserved until a decision
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: was made. So now we're awaiting that decision. Case in
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: a nutshell, here we go. California's Attorney General, you know
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: who he is, Rob Bonta, claims that our next guest
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: defied an order to pause his investigation into the ballots
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: and return them right away. while Chad's attorney argues he
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: was authorized to obtain them as a sheriff under California
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: Penal Code. The court heard arguments just this week, and
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: they're going to make their decision in the upcoming months.
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: So what will they rule? It's unclear.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: So let's talk to the guy who started this whole thing.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: Joining us now, Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, literally driving
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: back down from the state Supreme Court.
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: Chad, nice to see you, brother. How'd you break the law?
• 28:26
  Speaker 8: Very good to see him.
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: You didn't break the law. Yeah, we didn't. We didn't.
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: And listening to the arguments yesterday, I was biting my
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: tongue the whole time. I wish they would have asked
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: me questions. I wish it worked that way, but it doesn't.
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: Because there is so much misinformation and propaganda from the
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: other side. Their argument is slated in a certain direction
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: that really isn't relevant to this case as far as
• 28:47
  Speaker 5: we're concerned. They're talking about an election, and they're hung
• 28:50
  Speaker 5: up on a candidate challenging an election and bringing a
• 28:56
  Speaker 5: case against that, and this has nothing to do with it.
• 28:58
  Speaker 5: There's no way this could change the election. The election
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: process was over. Ballots were already counted. Everything was certified.
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: Everything was over.
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: And we took a route, a criminal investigation route that
• 29:09
  Speaker 5: is fully legal. They don't like that. They wanted election
• 29:14
  Speaker 5: law and they want it like a regular election. And
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: this wasn't a regular election. And when you really get
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: down to the basic brass tacks of this investigation, we
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: don't know who the suspect may be.
• 29:23
  Speaker 8: If there is one.
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: Is it the registrar of voters? Is it the machines?
• 29:27
  Speaker 5: Was it a volunteer? Is it all human error? Is
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: there nothing wrong? But we won't know unless an investigation
• 29:33
  Speaker 5: is conducted. And the attorney general stopped that investigation and
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: you kind of hit it.
• 29:37
  Speaker 6: On your point in the beginning.
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: This whole case revolves around the Attorney General believing that
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: he has the ability to stop any investigation in this
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: state from happening, and he does not.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: You know, the Attorney General, Mr.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: Bonta, isn't it his wife who works in the California
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: State Assembly? who just proposed that bill a couple weeks
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: ago that old Gabby Newsome signed on Saturday called the
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: Nick Shirley Act, where independent journalists can't no go out,
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: knock on the door of Medicaid, Medicare, hospice, learning centers,
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: you name it, and try to prove they're defrauding tax
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: dollars or they'll get fined now.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: Hmm, what a connection there.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: Fraudulent money with our taxes, fraudulent voting, and both bontas involved, Chad.
• 30:25
  Speaker 5: You know, imagine, I mean, just look at that. You
• 30:29
  Speaker 5: want to talk about the most corrupt couple in California.
• 30:32
  Speaker 5: You have a lawmaker preventing fraud from happening and you
• 30:36
  Speaker 5: have an attorney general preventing the investigation into that fraud.
• 30:40
  Speaker 5: So it is astonishing to me that the regular media
• 30:44
  Speaker 5: is not running with this 24-7 because.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: This is what... Yeah.
• 30:48
  Speaker 5: This is what Californians need to know.
• 30:51
  Speaker 8: It's the corruption.
• 30:52
  Speaker 5: They're going back to the beginning of the forming of
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: the state and the constitution and the original laws giving
• 30:58
  Speaker 5: the attorney general power. And we all know what an
• 31:01
  Speaker 5: attorney general is supposed to do. An attorney general is
• 31:05
  Speaker 5: not a defense attorney and an attorney general is not
• 31:08
  Speaker 5: a public defender. He is a prosecutor. He is a
• 31:11
  Speaker 5: person going out to to save us from corruption, to
• 31:14
  Speaker 5: save us from fraud, to save us from criminal activity,
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: and he does everything but do that. He's preventing me
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: from doing that, and he believes he has the authority
• 31:24
  Speaker 5: to stop any investigation. Dan, let me tell you how
• 31:27
  Speaker 5: bad it could be. In court, his attorneys were asked
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: a specific question. Does the Attorney General, Rob Bonta, believe
• 31:35
  Speaker 5: that he can stop the investigation into any crime?
• 31:39
  Speaker 8: And the answer was yes.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: Oof, what a power trip.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: I'll only correct you on one thing, that I think
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: the Newsoms might beat out the Bontas for the most
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: corrupt couple in California.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: Anyway, Chad, we love you.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: Was I right that it's going to take a few
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: months until the California Supreme Court rules on your case?
• 31:55
  Speaker 5: 30 to 60 days is what we're expecting.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay, so just two months. Okay, then keep your
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: phone on. I'll be calling you as soon as that
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: decision comes down. Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, get back
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: on the road, brother. Thank you for fighting for election integrity.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: Appreciate you.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: Thank you. Anytime, Dan.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: Of course.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: All righty, coming up, new reports show that ICE arrested
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: nearly 50,000 criminal illegal aliens just in the month of July,
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: setting a new record. And this is despite all the
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: Democrats trying to stop them.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: We're going to have details on those numbers when we
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: come back.

  Speaker 10: Despite all the hate, despite all the misinformation, despite the
• 33:11
  Speaker 10: radical courts, ICE is still breaking records.
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Tom Holman. We love you. That's what we
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: voted for.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: I'm so glad to hear we're breaking deportation records.
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: Get them out. You came in illegally. Go home. Try
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: again if you're not a felon.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: That was our amazing border czar Tom Holman just a
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: few days ago telling reporters that ICE continues to make
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: record progress in the face of all the attacks from
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: the crazy Antifa and left-wingers out there that are spitting
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: and trying to hit them and hurt them and all
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: that crap. Oh, not to mention, you know, the local
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: police or sheriff's departments. There are some in this country
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: that won't call them and turn them over. The DAs
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: and judges that let the scumbags go and won't call ICE.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: We all know that ICE has been up against a really,
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: really tough job, but they're seeing results and they speak
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: for themselves. For instance, ICE agents arrested jumped nearly 50,000
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: people in July alone. It's the highest single monthly arrest
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: rate during President Trump's second term, and it marks a
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: 70% increase from the figures seen back in February when,
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: of course, the backlash really ramped up against ICE following
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: that high-intensity operation in and around Minneapolis. You know what
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about. You saw it for a couple of
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: weeks there. Now, speaking of the spikes in ICE operations,
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: I'm told that ICE just completed a two-week enforcement operation
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: in Virginia and Maryland. They arrested more than 1,300 illegal aliens.
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: And get this, over 400 of the 1,300 have convictions.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: Guess what some of the crimes were? Ready? Attempted murder,
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: sexual battery, armed robbery, You think they belong in your streets, folks?
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: I sure as hell don't.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: Many of them also had already been arrested in our country,
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: but guess what? Not convicted or convicted, served barely any
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: time and was released. And I'm talking about rapists and murderers.
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: These are the facts. And by the way, that's not
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: the worst of the worst.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: One clown who got arrested, Nalasco Bautista Santiago from Mexico.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: was convicted of indecency and sexual contact with a child.
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: That's just one of the scumbags they arrested.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: Another one, Geraldo Toledo Toca from Cuba, convicted for robbery,
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: sexual assault, vehicle theft, and failure to register as a
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: sex offender.
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: And folks, the list goes on and on.
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: So why in God's green earth would you want to
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: stop ICE from doing what they're doing? And if we
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: have a blue wave at the ballot box in November, folks,
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you, It's going to stop. If they take
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: the House and the Senate, they will impeach President Trump,
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: they'll hold the purse strings, they'll stop any funding going
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: to ICE and Border Patrol, and all this will stop.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: And the 18 to 20 million that Joe and Kamala
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: let in, good luck at finding them and ever sending
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: them home. Join me now to weigh in on these
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: new numbers, this great news. He's a former Border Patrol
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: officer and a Border Security Advisor at the Federation for
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: American Immigration Reform.
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: Our friend Art Del Cueto. back on Real America. Art,
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: nice to see you.
• 36:26
  Speaker 11: Thank you.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: I like hearing that even with all the adversity, because
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: we know that these damn activists, judges, and DAs, and
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: I've heard, believe it or not, some local sheriffs and
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: local police chiefs and captains will not call ICE and
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: turn these scumbags over, especially in blue states and blue cities.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: But even with all that, Art, they're breaking records. They're
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: sending them home.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: Your reaction?
• 36:50
  Speaker 11: No, they are breaking records. They're sending him home, and
• 36:51
  Speaker 11: a lot of it is because of the leadership of
• 36:53
  Speaker 11: Tom Holman. Look, I don't want to knock the other
• 36:55
  Speaker 11: individuals that are in leadership positions within DHS, but Tom
• 36:59
  Speaker 11: Holman's been at the forefront. He's done a fantastic job.
• 37:02
  Speaker 11: He's worked within Border Patrol. He's worked within ICE. That
• 37:05
  Speaker 11: knowledge is, you know, you can't match that type of knowledge.
• 37:08
  Speaker 11: He's done a great job. And also, you did a
• 37:10
  Speaker 11: fantastic job right off the bat by rehiring retired agents
• 37:14
  Speaker 11: that were just recently retired, brought them on to help
• 37:18
  Speaker 11: with a lot of these operations. So they're doing a
• 37:20
  Speaker 11: fantastic job moving forward. But look, you said it best.
• 37:23
  Speaker 11: I almost felt like saying, you don't need me on
• 37:25
  Speaker 11: the show. You did a great job. You said it best.
• 37:28
  Speaker 11: This can go away come midterms. We have done such
• 37:31
  Speaker 11: a good job, even with the obstacles that have been
• 37:34
  Speaker 11: put in front of us. However, look, come midterms, if
• 37:38
  Speaker 11: we do not do things right and we don't hit
• 37:40
  Speaker 11: those ballot boxes and vote correctly, it can go away.
• 37:44
  Speaker 11: And the border is more secure than ever. But there's
• 37:47
  Speaker 11: still things getting through and there's still a lot to
• 37:49
  Speaker 11: be fixed because the last administration allowed millions to enter
• 37:54
  Speaker 11: from close to 168 different countries.
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was.
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, Art, you know, I said here on this
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: program every friggin night. going, look at this in Del Rio, Texas,
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: look at this in San Diego, look at this in
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: New Mexico, look at this in Yuma, Arizona. Every day,
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: every day, it was thousands coming across. I remember it
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: was late February, Biden and his border czar, Kamala, February 21.
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: So they'd been in six, seven weeks, not even two
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: full months, Art. And my crew and I left San
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: Diego where O-N's based. We went over to Yuma El Centro,
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: right at the California, Arizona, Mexico border. We hung out
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: with a good sheriff. He took us up and down
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: the border. And literally, this was six, seven weeks in,
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: there were hundreds already pouring in. And it never, it's
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: like a spigot that you couldn't turn the spigot off.
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: It was on for four years.
• 38:48
  Speaker 11: I was patrolling the very first day that Biden was
• 38:51
  Speaker 11: going to take office. It was hours before he took
• 38:54
  Speaker 11: his oath of office. And we had a group of
• 38:57
  Speaker 11: close to 300 cross down here in Arizona on the
• 39:01
  Speaker 11: Tohono O'odham Nation. And when we arrested some of these
• 39:04
  Speaker 11: groups and I confronted some of them, many of them minors, right? Now,
• 39:08
  Speaker 11: people like to say unaccompanied minors. Realistically, these unaccompanied minors
• 39:11
  Speaker 11: are 16 and 17 years old. So they're adults now
• 39:14
  Speaker 11: at this point. But I remember one specifically telling me
• 39:17
  Speaker 11: when I asked him, why are you crossing now? He said,
• 39:20
  Speaker 11: because we can, because your president said we could, and
• 39:23
  Speaker 11: there's nothing you can do about it. And he was
• 39:25
  Speaker 11: talking about President Biden joining and coming into office.
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I remember, and I say it all the time,
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: so people will remember. I don't know why Americans have
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: such short-term memory these days. Like, what they did to
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: us during the COVID-plandemic, what Joe and Kamala did with immigration. Like,
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: how the hell can you forget all this stuff, folks,
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: and look the other way and think you're gonna vote
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: blue instead of red? Look, I'm pissed off at the
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: Republicans for doing certain things. I don't like some of
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: the actions President Trump's done. I like about 99.9% of them,
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: but what am I gonna do? Stay at home and
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: not vote? That gives the Democrats the win. I'm not
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: gonna ever vote for a damn Democrat in my life.
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: I never have. But when you look at what they're doing... Yeah,
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: go ahead, Art.
• 40:02
  Speaker 11: You and I mentioned before we were on the air
• 40:04
  Speaker 11: about what happened in Spain when you had that invasion.
• 40:07
  Speaker 11: And I remember a lot of people talking about it
• 40:08
  Speaker 11: and saying, this is a red flag. This is a
• 40:12
  Speaker 11: sign of what can happen. No, that wasn't a sign
• 40:15
  Speaker 11: of what can happen to America. That is a reminder
• 40:19
  Speaker 11: of what happened to America under the Biden administration. And
• 40:23
  Speaker 11: we don't want to go back.
• 40:24
  Speaker 5: No.
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: I want to throw a few headlines up because we
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: are winning the battle to a degree here and there.
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: But I'll begin with the bad news because, again, like
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: I said, blue states.
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: Are not cooperating. Blue cities are not cooperating. Case in point.
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: Goes into effect today. How ironic. Is that right? August 25th.
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: In New York, they have a new law because, of course,
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: the Democrats had to put it into effect. So in
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: New York, they now are curbing local police cooperation with ICE,
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: and that takes effect today. Now, Art... Why in the
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: Sam Hill would you want to do that and not
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: cooperate with ICE and follow federal law?
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: Give me a break.
• 41:00
  Speaker 11: Because their hatred towards America and towards President Trump is
• 41:03
  Speaker 11: greater than their love for this country and the citizens
• 41:06
  Speaker 11: of this country. That's exactly why.
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: You nailed it.
• 41:08
  Speaker 11: By doing this, they create a magnet for more criminals
• 41:11
  Speaker 11: to enter those areas. They'll feel empowered and they'll feel
• 41:15
  Speaker 11: safe to commit crimes and do whatever they need to
• 41:17
  Speaker 11: do in those areas. And our own government, our own
• 41:20
  Speaker 11: people that we've placed in leadership positions are the ones
• 41:24
  Speaker 11: that are causing this.
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: And I think they want power back. Power means so
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: much to Democrats. And they know if they can keep
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: millions of illegals in and then take back power of
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: the House and Senate and they think White House, they'll
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: make them all citizens by 29. Right. And then they'll
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: never lose another damn election in this country. And that's
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: what I fear. And I'm not scared of much, Art.
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: But I'm telling you, they make them citizens. How in
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: the heck will a Republican ever win a race again
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: if you just all of a sudden... make 15 million
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: people citizens. It's going to be scary.
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: I saw it.
• 41:56
  Speaker 11: I saw it during the Obama administration before President Trump
• 42:00
  Speaker 11: took over. They knew what was coming, so they were
• 42:02
  Speaker 11: allowing so many individuals to come in, knowing that in
• 42:04
  Speaker 11: the future they'd be able to get some legal status. Now,
• 42:07
  Speaker 11: I'll tell you what else I've been seeing constantly, and
• 42:09
  Speaker 11: it's been getting sent to me from the field, a
• 42:11
  Speaker 11: bunch of these CDL driver's licenses from California, along with, okay,
• 42:16
  Speaker 11: so we can't just point the finger at California. I've
• 42:18
  Speaker 11: also been seeing many of the worker authorizations that have
• 42:22
  Speaker 11: been given to these individuals.
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 42:24
  Speaker 11: Right before Trump took over office this time. And you'd
• 42:27
  Speaker 11: be surprised that under the name, they have a last name,
• 42:30
  Speaker 11: but under first name, they all say unknown name. Who
• 42:34
  Speaker 11: would hand out those types of IDs? And I looked
• 42:37
  Speaker 11: at the dates and guess what? Guess when the majority
• 42:40
  Speaker 11: of those were handed out? Right before President Trump took
• 42:43
  Speaker 11: over office again.
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: Of course. Of course. They know what they're doing.
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: All right, let me get some good news and we'll
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: get your final take on it. So, The Ninth Circuit
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: Court is now going to allow, once again, because there
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: was a temporary hold because of some liberal judge, Border Patrol,
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: to continue immigration stops in California. Because, of course, the
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: Democrats in Sacramento wanted to make it so Border Patrol
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: could not do stops in this entire state.
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: Sorry.
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: Thank God the Ninth Circuit Court got it right.
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: How about another positive?
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: All ICE agents, since everybody's been complaining, and they always
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: want to say the ICE agents are the aggressors, by
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: the end of this month, all ICE agents in the
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: field will be wearing body cameras.
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: So guess what?
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: You wacko Antifa and BLM and wacko leftists, when you
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: start spitting and hitting and punching them, we're going to
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: have the video to prove you started it. especially if
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: they bust you back in the mouth, which I wish
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: they would. And that ends on this one. One more
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: way they can handle these psychos that come to mess
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: with them when they're doing an operation, Art, is they
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: plan to equip them with these new.
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: Electric shock gloves.
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: So while the scumbags are spitting at them and in
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: their face and trying to hurt them, well, if they
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: put hands on them, the agent can put hands back
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: on them and give them a little, hello, who's your brother?
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: How about all those headlines, Art?
• 44:01
  Speaker 11: I think it's fantastic. But on another note, I really
• 44:07
  Speaker 11: hope that moving forward, they're able to utilize a lot
• 44:09
  Speaker 11: of these video cameras that they show who the aggressors are.
• 44:12
  Speaker 11: And there's actually consequences. The federal prosecutors go after these individuals.
• 44:17
  Speaker 11: Because it's good to hear arrests. It's good to have
• 44:19
  Speaker 11: the proof. But look, all of it is void unless
• 44:21
  Speaker 11: you prosecute these individuals. Now, the gloves, I think, are fantastic.
• 44:25
  Speaker 11: I allowed myself to test them. And I can tell
• 44:29
  Speaker 11: you right now, they definitely do work. I will not
• 44:32
  Speaker 11: be sharing the video. I will not be sharing the video.
• 44:35
  Speaker 11: But they definitely do work.
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: What did you do? Jump out of your shorts? You're like, gosh. Oh,
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: I just dropped.
• 44:39
  Speaker 11: I dropped. That is some serious pain.
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: They're that strong.
• 44:42
  Speaker 11: But at the same time, I know with the video cameras,
• 44:45
  Speaker 11: it's through Axon, and I know Axon also has some
• 44:48
  Speaker 11: of these new Taser 10s that are amazing. They reach
• 44:51
  Speaker 11: up to 45 feet, so it's some kind of new
• 44:53
  Speaker 11: product in Taser that they have. So again, look, we
• 44:56
  Speaker 11: have an administration that is willing to put as many
• 45:00
  Speaker 11: tools on that Batman belt so agents can have everything
• 45:04
  Speaker 11: accessible to control the crowd, to not have to go
• 45:07
  Speaker 11: to lethal force if it's not necessary. Now, we all
• 45:09
  Speaker 11: know that at times that's your only option. But I
• 45:12
  Speaker 11: can tell you, I wore the badge for over two decades,
• 45:16
  Speaker 11: and I continue to be very proud of the agency.
• 45:18
  Speaker 11: No one gets up in the morning wanting to take
• 45:21
  Speaker 11: somebody's life. We wake up, we want to do our job,
• 45:23
  Speaker 11: we want to save our country, and we want our
• 45:25
  Speaker 11: country to love us as much as we love that country.
• 45:28
  Speaker 11: That's from every single law enforcement out there.
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: Amen. What a great way to end.
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: Art Loqueto, a former Border Patrol officer, now Border Security
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: Advisor at Federation for American Immigration Reform.
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: That's a great way to end it, folks.
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: They got a family. They want to go home. They
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: love their country. They're just trying to do their damn job.
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: So you sicko lefties, stop getting in their way.
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: How about some respect? Art, thank you, brother. Take care.
• 45:50
  Speaker 11: Thank you so much. God bless.
• 45:51
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: Coming up after the break, thousands of Nevadans, did you hear,
• 45:55

  Speaker 1: just outside of Reno. Our next guest is now sending
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: critical supplies to the first responders and the folks who

• 47:59
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: You just saw it look like a front-end loader or
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: some sort of heavy equipment trying to drive through that.
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: A massive wildfire that is sweeping across northern Nevada. And folks,
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: the situation has been dire for several days. Thousands of
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: people right now are under evacuation orders. Hundreds of people
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: in the northwest Reno and Washoe County area are without power.
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: The fire currently about 27% contained. Additionally, we're told at
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: least 32 homes have been destroyed, more than 15,000 acres torched.
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: This is a very destructive fire, folks, and they're expecting
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: fire season this year to be really bad because of
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: the extreme heat we had in July.
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: Many states are under drought warnings as we speak.
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: The Hawk Fire, it's being called, erupted on Saturday morning,
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: so about four days ago. Authorities believe it was human-caused,
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: although they don't know exactly if it was started intentionally
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: or accidentally. Either way, it moved quickly because of the winds.
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: Fifteen new fires then popped up across the region on
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: Saturday alone, and then the winds just fanned those flames,
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: making it so hard, especially in that type of terrain,
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: mountainous area. Three firefighters, four civilians injured already. Washoe County
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: under a state of emergency. Hundreds and hundreds of firefighters
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: are coming in from all over the place. They're working
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: alongside the National Guard units to try and get a
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: handle on it.
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: As they work round the clock, our.
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: Next guest nonprofit organization is getting involved already. They're sending
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: critical aid to the emergency responders and the families in need.
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: Joining us now to discuss what those folks need up
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: in Reno, Nevada, he's the national spokesperson and the vice
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: president of public engagement, for one of our favorite charities,
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: Convoy of Hope.
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: Ethan Forehead's back on the program. Ethan, right before.
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: Ethan came on, folks, he told me how many incidences, situations, catastrophes,
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: disasters have happened this year that they've responded to. And
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: I believe you told me, Ethan, that number was 71.
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: What's the record you guys have responded to in one year?
• 50:01
  Speaker 12: 99 disaster responses in one year. That was just two
• 50:06
  Speaker 12: years ago. So right now we are on pace to...
• 50:09
  Speaker 12: really shatter that record and set a brand new record.
• 50:12
  Speaker 12: We're hoping things slow down, but if the summer is
• 50:15
  Speaker 12: any signal, then it's going to be a long year.
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: Well, you've had the earthquakes down in the South American countries.
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: You've had fires in ours. You've had flooding. You've had mudslides.
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, you guys go to everything, so God bless you.
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: What's happening up by Reno? I used to live in Vegas,
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: traveled up north, so I know that area pretty well.
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: How's it looking?
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: They're at least getting a handle on it. I know Saturday, Sunday,
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: even parts of Monday, it was looking scary. I mean,
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: people were running for their lives.
• 50:42
  Speaker 12: Yeah, yesterday it was 0% contained. So your update just now,
• 50:44
  Speaker 12: 27% contained. That's big progress when you're talking about a wildfire.
• 50:49
  Speaker 12: The concern now with a wildfire is always that it's
• 50:52
  Speaker 12: weather dependent, right? And certainly in that area, you know,
• 50:56
  Speaker 12: I lived in Las Vegas as well for a while,
• 50:58
  Speaker 12: that they don't get any rain there. So rain is
• 51:00
  Speaker 12: not going to help them, but the winds could hurt them.
• 51:04
  Speaker 12: And my understanding is that the winds are expected to
• 51:06
  Speaker 12: pick up again over the weekend, late into this week,
• 51:09
  Speaker 12: which could cause more problems because not only is it
• 51:13
  Speaker 12: that fire, but it's sparked other fires as well. So
• 51:16
  Speaker 12: firefighters really, though, from yesterday to today have made really,
• 51:19
  Speaker 12: really good progress.
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: Where are you taking stuff? What do you need? Where
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: are the people going? I mean, again, thousands got evacuated.
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: I heard tens of thousands initially because they were really worried.
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: I know some are allowed back in. Now you've still
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: got thousands without power. That means forget what's in the
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: fridge and the freezer, and then you're helping the first
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: responders because it's kind of a remote area in some
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: of these places for multiple fires. They're bringing in units
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: from not just Nevada but other states.
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: What do you need, Ethan?
• 51:45
  Speaker 12: That's exactly right. And you understand that when people leave
• 51:48
  Speaker 12: their house because of a wildfire, they leave very quickly.
• 51:52
  Speaker 12: We saw that in L.A. a couple of years ago.
• 51:54
  Speaker 12: People just run out sometimes with the shirts on their
• 51:56
  Speaker 12: back and maybe they have a go pack. that they
• 51:59
  Speaker 12: put together. But there's not a lot of stuff in there.
• 52:01
  Speaker 12: So we are supplying ready-to-eat foods, especially for the first
• 52:04
  Speaker 12: responders who need that, protein bars, those sorts of things,
• 52:08
  Speaker 12: ready-to-eat foods for evacuees and survivors, as well as water
• 52:13
  Speaker 12: that's desperately needed, hygiene items, because people forget about those
• 52:17
  Speaker 12: sometimes when they leave their house. Now they're living in
• 52:19
  Speaker 12: a shelter or somewhere. They need those items just to
• 52:22
  Speaker 12: keep life going from day to day. And then eventually,
• 52:26
  Speaker 12: and it's happened a little earlier than I think they expected,
• 52:29
  Speaker 12: but people are getting back into their homes and praying
• 52:32
  Speaker 12: all the while that the homes are still going to
• 52:34
  Speaker 12: be standing whenever they return home.
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I said, what, 32? I mean, you
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: never want one person to lose their home. 32 families affected,
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: and there could be more. Let's hope that God and
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: Mother Nature gives them a break on the wind and
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: that our viewers will help donate to Convoy of Hope.
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: It's convoyofhope.org.
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: Let's help those first responders and our fellow Americans get
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: through this one. Ethan Forenz, thank you, brother, for everything
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: you guys do.
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: Appreciate you.
• 52:57
  Speaker 7: Thank you, Dan.
• 52:57
  Speaker 12: Good to be with you.
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: Yep, God bless you.
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: And before we say goodnight, folks, we'll let you know
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: about a couple of the guests that'll be on Wednesday
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: night's show. Unfortunately, tomorrow, folks, we mark the anniversary of
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: the botched withdrawal in Afghanistan. Gold Star dad Mark Schmitz

• 53:19
  Speaker 1: pulled our troops out, Got 13 of them killed, left
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: equipment behind. It was horrible, the terror attack on Kabul.
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: We'll discuss that tomorrow night. Also, our good friend Jakob Boyens,
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: founder of Jakob Boyens Ministry, will be here to talk
• 53:30
