- 0:00Speaker 1: Straight ahead on Real America Tonight, new revelations about Ilhan
- 0:03Speaker 1: Omar are coming to light following the raid on her
- 0:06Speaker 1: home in Washington, D.C.
- 0:07Speaker 2: This week.
- 0:08Speaker 1: We're going to walk you through the latest details of
- 0:10Speaker 1: the investigation regarding allegations of immigration fraud and even more fraud.
- 0:17Speaker 1: Don't forget all that money that just went poof to Somalia,
- 0:21Speaker 1: her home state, feeding the hungry program.
- 0:24Speaker 2: Plus, speaking of fraud.
- 0:25Speaker 1: Several officials in the Trump administration, DOJ today making a
- 0:28Speaker 1: huge announcement about a major crackdown on fraud within our
- 0:33Speaker 1: federal tax system. We're gonna fill you in on those
- 0:36Speaker 1: actions and how it's going to hopefully save us millions.
- 0:39Speaker 2: That's what I voted for, hopefully you did too. And
- 0:42Speaker 2: the socialist mayor.
- 0:44Speaker 1: And the liberal city council of New York City now
- 0:46Speaker 1: banning those beautiful horse drawn carriage rides They go way back,
- 0:52Speaker 1: since like the beginning of New York City. Why can't
- 0:54Speaker 1: we have those now? No more fun in the Big Apple.
- 0:57Speaker 1: All that and more straight ahead.
- 0:58Speaker 2: I'm Dan Ball. Real America starts right now. I don't
- 1:09Speaker 2: take a position. I think she's a terrible person. I
- 1:12Speaker 2: think she's a terrible congresswoman. I don't think she loves
- 1:16Speaker 2: our country at all.
- 1:19Speaker 1: Exactly right, 47. I think she's a bad person. I
- 1:23Speaker 1: think she doesn't love our country. And I think she's
- 1:26Speaker 1: been a crummy Congresswoman. And oh, by the way, she
- 1:29Speaker 1: might be guilty. Guilty of financial fraud in her home state, possibly.
- 1:34Speaker 1: And possibly guilty of immigration fraud, too. And that's why
- 1:38Speaker 1: she's been under investigation for a long time. And we
- 1:42Speaker 1: all found out all about it this week when federal
- 1:45Speaker 1: agents raided her home in D.C. on Monday morning. You
- 1:50Speaker 1: know who I'm talking about, right?
- 1:53Speaker 2: Ilhan Omar.
- 1:55Speaker 1: Anyway, let's start with some recent insight from Jonathan Fahey.
- 2:00Speaker 1: He served as the acting ICE director from 2020 to 2021.
- 2:04Speaker 1: He's saying investigators have probable cause to execute that search
- 2:08Speaker 1: warrant on her home. In recent remarks, They cited the
- 2:12Speaker 1: difficulty of getting a D.C. judge to approve a warrant
- 2:15Speaker 1: against a liberal lawmaker, but it happened. So what does
- 2:20Speaker 1: that mean, folks? If you can get a D.C. judge
- 2:23Speaker 1: to look at the evidence and say, okay, you can
- 2:25Speaker 1: go raid this sitting member of Congress's home, I'd say
- 2:29Speaker 1: there's some pretty darn good evidence, wouldn't you? Now, let's
- 2:33Speaker 1: couple that. with this statement. Bombshell revelation that's raising even
- 2:37Speaker 1: more questions. Turns out the DOJ just issued about a
- 2:41Speaker 1: dozen subpoenas as part of the investigation, and guess what?
- 2:47Speaker 1: It includes some of Omar's family members.
- 2:51Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
- 2:52Speaker 1: Now, currently, I'm told that Omar herself is not facing
- 2:55Speaker 1: a subpoena yet, but these orders are very interesting because
- 2:59Speaker 1: they're tied to a federal grand jury over in Minnesota, which,
- 3:03Speaker 1: of course, brings us to the other scandal that I've
- 3:07Speaker 1: been talking about this clown for, what, almost a year now.
- 3:10Speaker 1: Ever since Nick Shirley, the independent journalist, went to Minnesota
- 3:14Speaker 1: and uncovered all that fraud, and it was tied to
- 3:17Speaker 1: some of her staffers and family and friends.
- 3:21Speaker 2: Per reports.
- 3:22Speaker 1: Her staff asked Minnesota officials to change her birth year
- 3:26Speaker 1: back in May of 2019, months after she entered Congress. Now,
- 3:32Speaker 1: why would they do that? We already talked about them
- 3:34Speaker 1: changing her net income. They changed the birth date.
- 3:37Speaker 2: Now, why would you do that?
- 3:38Speaker 1: In one email, they asked state officials to amend her biography,
- 3:43Speaker 1: listing her birthday as October 4th, 1982, instead of October.
- 3:46Speaker 4: 4th, 1981.
- 3:46Speaker 2: Now, that's important.
- 3:53Speaker 1: Because it could mean she wasn't a minor when she
- 3:57Speaker 1: got her citizenship through her father's naturalization back in 2000.
- 4:04Speaker 2: We got questions. How about her finances? This is the
- 4:07Speaker 2: other one.
- 4:08Speaker 1: They're looking into her cash. What can we tell you? Well, again,
- 4:13Speaker 1: this is all public record, folks. I'm not hitting her
- 4:15Speaker 1: just because I don't like her and she's a radical
- 4:17Speaker 1: Islamic Democrat socialist.
- 4:19Speaker 2: I dislike her a lot more reasons than that.
- 4:21Speaker 1: She's anti-frickin' American, and if she's here illegally, she should
- 4:24Speaker 1: be gone. In 2024, Omar claimed a household net worth
- 4:28Speaker 1: of somewhere between $ 6.
- 4:31Speaker 2: Up to $ 30 million.
- 4:32Speaker 1: But then later, she had her staff fix that, amend it,
- 4:37Speaker 1: and say that it was only $ 100, 000. She blamed that
- 4:42Speaker 1: on an accounting error.
- 4:44Speaker 2: I'm sorry, okay?
- 4:45Speaker 1: One year on the birth date, maybe it's a mistake,
- 4:47Speaker 1: but then when you look at the naturalization of her father,
- 4:49Speaker 1: you might understand why with the minor adult thing.
- 4:52Speaker 2: But you got how many mil down to 100 thou?
- 4:55Speaker 2: Give me a break.
- 4:56Speaker 1: That move sparked questions from many people and drew the
- 4:59Speaker 1: attention of President Trump. Trump highlighting it on Truth Social
- 5:05Speaker 1: this week. And now he's got attorney Jean Pirro examining
- 5:10Speaker 1: it as well. So we're gonna see if anything happens
- 5:13Speaker 1: But I'll say this, she's done some wrong stuff, period.
- 5:18Speaker 1: If we can get to the bottom of it, she
- 5:19Speaker 1: should pay. But all she's been doing is playing victim.
- 5:23Speaker 1: Here's an interview from last year with her espousing her lies.
- 5:27Speaker 2: Watch this crap.
- 5:29Speaker 3: When you have Nancy and Randy saying, you know, we're
- 5:32Speaker 3: on it, we're going to impeach her. When they're saying
- 5:35Speaker 3: they're going to deport me, knowing full well that you
- 5:38Speaker 3: cannot deport an American citizen. What that displays for not
- 5:42Speaker 3: just Americans, but folks on an international platform, is that
- 5:48Speaker 3: our country is being led by idiots. And that is
- 5:51Speaker 3: not something that we should be comfortable with as Americans.
- 5:53Speaker 3: And that's not something that should make us proud. And
- 5:55Speaker 3: so in this moment, I feel great sadness. as an American,
- 5:59Speaker 3: that these are the kind of people that the world
- 6:01Speaker 3: gets to see representing us.
- 6:03Speaker 2: Really? Well, the walls are closing in. You represent us.
- 6:07Speaker 1: You're a member of Congress, so you're one of those
- 6:09Speaker 1: idiots that's running the country.
- 6:10Speaker 2: Right, ma'am?
- 6:12Speaker 1: You can play victim all you want. But I have
- 6:14Speaker 1: a feeling in the next two years under the Trump administration,
- 6:17Speaker 1: justice is gonna be served on you. Let's also not
- 6:22Speaker 1: forget how many other disturbing situations have unfolded around this
- 6:25Speaker 1: woman during her time in office. Again, the Feeding Our
- 6:30Speaker 1: Future scandal. Dozens and dozens of people have already been convicted.
- 6:34Speaker 1: Some sentenced for defrauding the U.S. government of hundreds of
- 6:37Speaker 1: millions of dollars in a COVID-era fraud scheme. A whistleblower
- 6:42Speaker 1: who was demoted for exposing it called on Omar to testify.
- 6:47Speaker 1: Those calls came earlier this year. Omar never spoke up,
- 6:50Speaker 1: which obviously causes more questions. What about the accusations that
- 6:54Speaker 1: she married her brother to get status? Remember those?
- 6:57Speaker 3: 2009.
- 6:58Speaker 1: She married a man named Ahmed Noor Saad Elmi. Some
- 7:02Speaker 1: people say Elmi was her brother, and that was all
- 7:05Speaker 1: part of the fraud scheme. Now, Omar has denied every
- 7:09Speaker 1: single one of these allegations. As far as the White
- 7:12Speaker 1: House goes, the whole process is about following the law
- 7:16Speaker 1: and following the facts.
- 7:18Speaker 2: Right, Vice President?
- 7:21Speaker 5: No, look, I did not have advance notice that her
- 7:23Speaker 5: home was being raided. Look, I never, we try to
- 7:26Speaker 5: run our Department of Justice in a fair and honest way.
- 7:29Speaker 2: We try to let the law follow the.
- 7:32Speaker 5: Facts rather than creating facts just to prosecute people we
- 7:34Speaker 5: don't like. And because of that, I think the president
- 7:37Speaker 5: and I largely try to stay out of Department of
- 7:38Speaker 5: Justice investigations and other prosecutions. Now, I do know that
- 7:42Speaker 5: there are some serious allegations against Ilhan Omar.
- 7:45Speaker 2: We're going to look into those.
- 7:46Speaker 5: And again, if there's a real case there, we're going
- 7:48Speaker 5: to follow the facts.
- 7:49Speaker 2: If there's not a real case there, then we won't.
- 7:52Speaker 2: I like it.
- 7:52Speaker 1: Doesn't sound like the Biden regime where, hey, we've got
- 7:56Speaker 1: the suspect, now we'll invent the crime.
- 7:58Speaker 2: No, we've got the crimes, now we're investigating.
- 8:00Speaker 1: Joining me now with reaction to all of these, whoo,
- 8:04Speaker 1: I'd say big, big allegations against Mr.
- 8:07Speaker 2: Ilhan Omar.
- 8:07Speaker 1: He's former White House Deputy Press Secretary, Senior Advisor at
- 8:10Speaker 1: the America First Policy Institute.
- 8:12Speaker 2: Our pal, Hogan Gidley, back on the program. Where do
- 8:15Speaker 2: we begin? Hogan, have at it. I don't know which
- 8:18Speaker 2: scandal to talk about first with you.
- 8:20Speaker 4: I know, big allegations, and it appears to have big
- 8:23Speaker 4: truckloads worth of evidence against this woman. Her time, I think,
- 8:28Speaker 4: is short on all of this.
- 8:30Speaker 2: She herself said, bring it on.
- 8:32Speaker 6: Hey, look, no one's above the law.
- 8:34Speaker 4: You want to investigate me? Go right ahead. And of course,
- 8:36Speaker 4: as soon as they do it, they say, she cries
- 8:38Speaker 4: foul and says, no, you can't do this. So many
- 8:40Speaker 4: problems swirling around this particular individual.
- 8:43Speaker 6: You talked about the.
- 8:45Speaker 4: Allegations of immigration fraud, of course, marrying her brother as well.
- 8:49Speaker 4: the problem with her father, changing her age, the financial
- 8:54Speaker 4: fraud potential too. As you point out, hundreds or tens
- 8:58Speaker 4: of millions of dollars is what you claim you have.
- 9:00Speaker 2: Oh, big mistake.
- 9:02Speaker 4: It's not tens of millions.
- 9:03Speaker 2: It's just a few million. No, no, it's not that.
- 9:06Speaker 4: It's just $ 100, 000. Big mistake. And then of course, all
- 9:12Speaker 4: the other issues facing the money going to one of
- 9:17Speaker 4: the biggest fraud organizations that this administration has uncovered too,
- 9:21Speaker 4: that just happened to be one of her relatives as well.
- 9:24Speaker 4: It's a litany of things. And before anyone says, wait
- 9:27Speaker 4: a minute, this is all a Republican witch hunt. They
- 9:30Speaker 4: did this to Donald Trump and so he's doing it
- 9:32Speaker 4: as retribution.
- 9:33Speaker 2: This was a.
- 9:33Speaker 4: Democrat judge that signed off on all of this. And
- 9:38Speaker 4: one thing I think that was kind of nerve wracking
- 9:40Speaker 4: to a lot of us was we heard that this
- 9:44Speaker 4: immigration fraud, for example, Once you change your birth year,
- 9:49Speaker 4: et cetera, there's a statute of limitations of 10 years.
- 9:52Speaker 4: The problem for her is once you put it on
- 9:56Speaker 4: applications for loans, once you have it on your passport,
- 10:00Speaker 4: once it's on your driver's license, it refreshes every time
- 10:04Speaker 4: you use those documents. So she is not going to
- 10:07Speaker 4: escape this. What I'm hoping for, Dan, what I'm praying
- 10:11Speaker 4: for here is I hope it's not another example of
- 10:15Speaker 4: finding out this information and then saying, man, that stinks.
- 10:19Speaker 4: Let's move on to something else. I think someone finally
- 10:22Speaker 4: needs to be held accountable.
- 10:24Speaker 6: For this nonsense.
- 10:25Speaker 4: And if the evidence leads us to conviction, if the
- 10:28Speaker 4: evidence leads us to deportation, if the evidence leads us
- 10:32Speaker 4: to jail time, then damn it, that's what needs to happen.
- 10:35Speaker 2: Do it. Thank you. Hogan, can you take that spine and.
- 10:39Speaker 1: Pair you have and share that with GOP folks in
- 10:41Speaker 1: the House and Senate?
- 10:42Speaker 2: Like, seriously, I.
- 10:45Speaker 6: Listen.
- 10:46Speaker 1: We true conservatives are getting tired of having to yell
- 10:49Speaker 1: at Republicans. Can you hold somebody accountable? You got all
- 10:52Speaker 1: these damn hearings. You got these strongly worded letters.
- 10:56Speaker 2: You raid homes.
- 10:57Speaker 1: You're doing things. Now can we see some handcuffs? some
- 11:00Speaker 1: orange jumpsuits and some bars. That's what we want to see.
- 11:04Speaker 1: And don't be afraid to have people go, you're only
- 11:06Speaker 1: doing it out of retribution. No, you guys have the
- 11:10Speaker 1: facts to back it up. All the crap they did
- 11:12Speaker 1: to Trump and us at OAN and you and George
- 11:15Speaker 1: Papadopoulos and all the MAGA folks, that was all made
- 11:17Speaker 1: up crap and we showed proof. But now we've got
- 11:20Speaker 1: evidence to prove she's guilty of stuff.
- 11:23Speaker 2: You're right. They better fricking follow through, Hogan.
- 11:27Speaker 4: Yeah, I sure hope so. And the American people are
- 11:30Speaker 4: clamoring for some semblance of order from our government, accountability
- 11:35Speaker 4: from our government, regardless of political party. And I'm going
- 11:38Speaker 4: to tell you, this is a missed opportunity, I say,
- 11:39Speaker 4: for Republicans. They should have been yelling from the rooftops,
- 11:43Speaker 4: taking this to the campaign trail, the amount of fraud,
- 11:46Speaker 4: waste and abuse. that this Republican administration has found throughout
- 11:51Speaker 4: the country via Medicare, Medicaid, the scams with these fake schools,
- 11:57Speaker 4: all of this nonsense perpetrated by people who are in
- 12:00Speaker 4: this country illegally, perpetrated by people who are on the
- 12:04Speaker 4: left using that money to funnel it into their special
- 12:08Speaker 4: campaign election projects, et cetera, et cetera. That should be
- 12:11Speaker 4: a much bigger issue out there because here's the problem
- 12:14Speaker 4: that the left finds himself facing. These are programs we
- 12:18Speaker 4: were told had to go to American citizens that need
- 12:22Speaker 4: and deserve it because they're the most righteous among us
- 12:25Speaker 4: and these programs have to be used to prop up
- 12:29Speaker 4: and help Americans who could not help themselves. These dollars
- 12:34Speaker 4: are going to people who aren't American citizens, who are
- 12:38Speaker 4: American citizens who are siphoning the money off for themselves
- 12:42Speaker 4: to enrich their own lives. I can't believe Democrats aren't
- 12:46Speaker 4: standing up and saying, We have to stop the fraud. Instead,
- 12:49Speaker 4: they're saying we need to protect those who are committing
- 12:52Speaker 4: the fraud. It's insane.
- 12:54Speaker 2: It is insane.
- 12:55Speaker 1: And on top of that, a lot of these people
- 12:56Speaker 1: like Ilhan Omar, too, are anti-American. If I got to
- 13:00Speaker 1: hear them espouse their crap again that America was... I
- 13:03Speaker 1: remember hearing her saying, America was never great.
- 13:05Speaker 2: Yeah. It was. Was Somalia great? Why'd you come here then?
- 13:10Speaker 2: She said she wants to live there. Yeah, go back.
- 13:13Speaker 2: Go home. And I don't care if that sounds racist.
- 13:15Speaker 1: I'd say it to a white person that came here
- 13:17Speaker 1: illegally from the Ukraine.
- 13:19Speaker 2: I don't care what color you are.
- 13:20Speaker 1: If you're here illegally and you're trash-talking the amazing republic
- 13:24Speaker 1: I signed up and served, get the hell out.
- 13:28Speaker 2: Hogan, I'm done before I get in trouble. Thank you, brother.
- 13:31Speaker 2: Appreciate you.
- 13:32Speaker 3: Thanks, Dan.
- 13:32Speaker 2: It's a little too hot under the collar. All right,
- 13:34Speaker 2: coming up. Sorry, not sorry. This is ridiculous.
- 13:39Speaker 1: We got a sitting member of Congress that most likely
- 13:42Speaker 1: has defrauded us for tons of money, probably is here illegally,
- 13:45Speaker 1: says it's a horrible country, but then wants to stay
- 13:47Speaker 1: in office and fundamentally change it.
- 13:49Speaker 2: Again, go home.
- 13:51Speaker 1: Coming up after the break, President Trump's DOJ announcing more
- 13:56Speaker 1: fraud busting. Speaking of fraud, this time they're going after
- 13:59Speaker 1: tax fraud scammers.
- 14:02Speaker 2: Oh yeah, billions, billions.
- 14:06Speaker 1: Plus, more and more text messages coming out of that
- 14:09Speaker 1: Cornell alleged rape case that are now painting the alleged
- 14:12Speaker 1: victim in a very different light. And we'll show them
- 14:16Speaker 1: to you and you can decide. Then a bit later
- 14:18Speaker 1: on the program, we'll head to New York City. Find
- 14:20Speaker 1: out why the Mamdani administration and the liberal city council
- 14:24Speaker 1: are now banning those beautiful horse-drawn.
- 14:27Speaker 2: Carriage rides that go throughout the Big Apple.
- 14:29Speaker 1: Why?
- 14:31Speaker 2: All that and more. Don't go away.
- 14:33Speaker 1: For all of our viewers out there asking where to

- 15:09Speaker 7: In addition to stealing from taxpayer-funded programs, fraudsters also target
- 15:14Speaker 7: taxpayer dollars by criminally siphoning money from the Internal Revenue Service.
- 15:21Speaker 7: Just last month, GAO estimated that taxpayers lose up to
- 15:26Speaker 7: $ 304 billion every year due to fraud schemes perpetrated against
- 15:32Speaker 7: the IRS.
- 15:34Speaker 1: One more thing I voted for, trying to uncover all
- 15:39Speaker 1: the fraud.
- 15:40Speaker 2: Thank you, Mr. President.
- 15:41Speaker 1: In case you didn't catch the press conference that lasted
- 15:44Speaker 1: quite a while earlier today right here on OAN, allow
- 15:47Speaker 1: me to fill you in. Assistant Attorney General Colin McDonald
- 15:50Speaker 1: announcing a massive nationwide tax fraud enforcement surge today, revealing
- 15:56Speaker 1: that the Trump administration has targeted 76 defendants so far
- 16:00Speaker 1: involved in huge federal tax schemes totaling 490 million bucks.
- 16:05Speaker 1: The operation spanned 45 days and involved the offices of
- 16:08Speaker 1: 35 US attorneys. It was a coordinated crackdown against criminal
- 16:13Speaker 1: actors and not only action our Treasury Department has taken
- 16:16Speaker 1: to combat crime, they've been doing a lot more Earlier today,
- 16:19Speaker 1: the Treasury Secretary, Scott Besant, revealed a proposal that would
- 16:22Speaker 1: strengthen restrictions on a premium tax credit used for health
- 16:27Speaker 1: insurance purchased through health insurance exchanges.
- 16:31Speaker 2: The rule, if adopted, would ensure that only U.S.
- 16:34Speaker 1: Citizens can access these benefits, closing a major loophole that
- 16:40Speaker 1: would prevent fraud because, of course.
- 16:44Speaker 2: Criminal illegal aliens have been doing it.
- 16:47Speaker 1: Talk about a huge step towards gutting the fraud in
- 16:50Speaker 1: our health care and tax system. On that note, HHS
- 16:53Speaker 1: Secretary RFK Jr. took a similar step today, announcing the
- 16:57Speaker 1: purge of 189,000 dead or duplicate enrollees from subsidized federal
- 17:04Speaker 1: health care. He shared the details of his landmark move
- 17:07Speaker 1: at a press conference. And I got to say, folks,
- 17:10Speaker 1: I know there's a lot of negativity with, what, 20,
- 17:13Speaker 1: 21 days to go till the midterms? But can we
- 17:16Speaker 1: start talking about the positives so the damn Democrats don't
- 17:19Speaker 1: win the House and the Senate? Because they are doing
- 17:22Speaker 1: good work in the Trump administration.
- 17:26Speaker 8: In 2026, CMS identified 189,000 subsidized enrollments involving duplicate Medicare, Medicaid,
- 17:34Speaker 8: or CHIP coverage, on record showing the enrollee has died.
- 17:39Speaker 8: CMS acted to remove improper subsidies in all of these cases.
- 17:44Speaker 8: CMS estimates that this work will prevent $ 738 million in
- 17:50Speaker 8: improper subsidy payments for this year alone. At an annualized rate,
- 17:55Speaker 8: this saving exceeds $ 1. 5 billion.
- 17:58Speaker 1: All right, joining me now to comment about all this
- 18:02Speaker 1: fraud that the Trump administration continues to bust, he's the
- 18:05Speaker 1: host of The Michael Schwartz Show, a research doctor and contributor.
- 18:08Speaker 2: Over at Blaze TV, our friend, Dr. Michael Schwartz, back
- 18:12Speaker 2: on the program. Good to see you, Dan. Doc, nice
- 18:13Speaker 2: to see you.
- 18:13Speaker 1: Thank you.
- 18:14Speaker 2: Um, I gotta say, this is what I voted for.
- 18:18Speaker 1: And I get there's a lot of negativity because gas
- 18:20Speaker 1: prices and groceries are still high and people don't like
- 18:23Speaker 1: the conflict with Iran. I get those two major things.
- 18:26Speaker 1: But man, there's so much positive to talk about.
- 18:28Speaker 2: And here's my question, Doc.
- 18:30Speaker 1: Have we ever seen any other administration, Republican or Democrat,
- 18:34Speaker 1: go after, bust, and try to hold accountable these fraudsters?
- 18:38Speaker 1: I don't remember it, even though I was smaller, under Reagan.
- 18:43Speaker 1: under H.W., under Clinton, under W., under Obama or Biden,
- 18:47Speaker 1: in my lifetime, and definitely not Carter, have I ever
- 18:50Speaker 1: seen since 74 anybody go after fraud like the Trump administration.
- 18:54Speaker 9: No, I haven't either, and we're the same age, so
- 18:56Speaker 9: I haven't seen anything. I mean, this is exactly what
- 18:59Speaker 9: I voted for. $ 1. 5 billion, by the way, it's a
- 19:01Speaker 9: huge amount of money. I'm a small business owner, so
- 19:04Speaker 9: when I write a check to the government... I don't
- 19:06Speaker 9: get it taken out like everybody else in a W-2
- 19:08Speaker 9: where it's kind of just siphoned off.
- 19:10Speaker 2: I have to write a big check.
- 19:11Speaker 9: And when I write that big check, I want to
- 19:13Speaker 9: know where it's going. So when I saw USAID get
- 19:15Speaker 9: busted up and I saw Doge when we started all that,
- 19:18Speaker 9: it was great to see the administration doing it then.
- 19:20Speaker 2: It's great, even better, to see it now. I'm hearing
- 19:23Speaker 2: these numbers.
- 19:24Speaker 9: The one case you were talking about, there was Mexicans
- 19:27Speaker 9: trying to get Mexican names And getting on the system,
- 19:31Speaker 9: it was like $ 74 million in fraud, sending these checks
- 19:35Speaker 9: out to post office boxes they controlled. There's so many
- 19:38Speaker 9: different stories. This press conference was great today. And this
- 19:41Speaker 9: is the macro that everybody in the country should be
- 19:44Speaker 9: focused on, not the micro like you managed, you know,
- 19:47Speaker 9: talked about with gas prices. The big picture would Trump
- 19:50Speaker 9: is doing to save this country.
- 19:52Speaker 1: Yeah, and the fraud is everywhere. I mean, it is
- 19:55Speaker 1: running rampant, right? We have seen it in your research
- 19:58Speaker 1: in Doc. We've seen it in Medicare, in Medicaid. There's
- 20:02Speaker 1: another couple headlines this week, throw them up, guys, about,
- 20:05Speaker 1: you know, millions uncovered in Medicare and Medicaid fraud.
- 20:08Speaker 2: We've got the tax fraud.
- 20:09Speaker 1: We've got the leering centers like in Minnesota, the learning centers,
- 20:13Speaker 1: the daycare centers, the hospice fraud. There has been so
- 20:18Speaker 1: many levels of fraud. And you've got to think about this, Doc.
- 20:22Speaker 1: This has been going on for decades and decades. And
- 20:25Speaker 1: they've only got better at it. So they've probably been
- 20:27Speaker 1: defrauding for years, but even taking more and more because
- 20:31Speaker 1: nobody's ever been looking at them. And in so many
- 20:34Speaker 1: different ways. And I'm so thankful. that President Trump put
- 20:38Speaker 1: our Vice President J.D. Vance in charge of this as
- 20:40Speaker 1: the czar, but he's got all of the commanders, if
- 20:43Speaker 1: you will, right? Bobby's out there busting it. Scott's busting it.
- 20:46Speaker 1: Everybody's looking at it in all their departments and busting
- 20:50Speaker 1: this fraud.
- 20:51Speaker 2: Again, nothing like this in our lifetime.
- 20:53Speaker 9: Yeah, just ask them what to do, and they'll go
- 20:55Speaker 9: do it.
- 20:55Speaker 2: It's kind of amazing.
- 20:56Speaker 9: You get this direction from a president who wants to
- 20:58Speaker 9: do this, and you get all these folks that work
- 21:01Speaker 9: for an administration. If you all have the same goal,
- 21:03Speaker 9: which the goal should be just protecting Americans. Now, everybody
- 21:06Speaker 9: on the left is going to get really upset, especially
- 21:08Speaker 9: with this ACA stuff, people getting kicked off the rolls.
- 21:11Speaker 9: They're giving you 30 days to prove who you are
- 21:14Speaker 9: just in case they made a mistake. So it's not
- 21:15Speaker 9: that– They're kicking families off the rolls tomorrow. They're doing
- 21:18Speaker 9: this in an expeditious way. But at the end of
- 21:21Speaker 9: the day, the mission is to protect real Americans and
- 21:24Speaker 9: real taxpayers.
- 21:25Speaker 1: Yeah, this is like the boy that cried wolf. You
- 21:28Speaker 1: want the funds there for when somebody is sick or
- 21:31Speaker 1: has a kid or whatever this government program is that you,
- 21:34Speaker 1: the American taxpayer, needs to take advantage of. The problem
- 21:37Speaker 1: is if there's dead people and illegals on the rolls
- 21:40Speaker 1: and then taking that money, taking that health care, taking
- 21:42Speaker 1: that hospice care, whatever it may be, the money's not
- 21:45Speaker 1: going to be there, all of it, for when you,
- 21:48Speaker 1: the American taxpayer, need it. That's why you've got to
- 21:51Speaker 1: get the illegals, the dead people, the Democrats that are
- 21:55Speaker 1: scamming all these systems off the damn books.
- 21:58Speaker 2: Dr. Michael Schwartz, you get the final word. Dan, I
- 22:01Speaker 2: bet they're all voting, too. And that's part of the
- 22:03Speaker 2: other problem.
- 22:03Speaker 9: I would love to see how many people are on
- 22:05Speaker 9: these services who have actually pulled the lever in the
- 22:08Speaker 9: last couple of presidential elections. We need to clean it
- 22:10Speaker 9: all up for obviously for good reason. But you got
- 22:12Speaker 9: the best point that you made here all night. if
- 22:15Speaker 9: the money isn't there for when we need it, why
- 22:17Speaker 9: do you think inflation is so high? We were spending
- 22:19Speaker 9: all of our tax dollars on erroneous people that don't
- 22:22Speaker 9: even exist or shouldn't even be here. And this is
- 22:24Speaker 9: just obvious to the rest of us who voted for it.
- 22:26Speaker 9: I wish everybody else would wake up and come along.
- 22:29Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 22:29Speaker 1: If you started pulling a half a trillion out of
- 22:31Speaker 1: the budget every year from the fraud, which it's at
- 22:33Speaker 1: least half a trillion, probably more every year, when you
- 22:35Speaker 1: start adding up local municipalities, state and federal governments, and
- 22:39Speaker 1: you start going after the fraud, just look at California
- 22:41Speaker 1: where I live and how many billions they've been defrauding
- 22:43Speaker 1: in health care and crap.
- 22:44Speaker 2: It's a trillion, probably, or trillions. I don't even know.
- 22:47Speaker 2: It's disgusting. It's got to stop, and we've got to
- 22:50Speaker 2: hold people accountable.
- 22:51Speaker 1: Dr.
- 22:51Speaker 2: Michael Schwartz, check out his show. Appreciate you, sir. Take care.
- 22:54Speaker 2: Thank you, Dan. Yep. Straight ahead, did you hear?
- 22:57Speaker 1: More text messages have been exposed to the country between
- 23:02Speaker 1: that female student at Cornell and the frat boys she's
- 23:06Speaker 1: now accusing of rape. And they continue to paint a
- 23:10Speaker 1: different picture of this young sorority gal, especially considering what
- 23:15Speaker 1: she told authorities days, weeks after it happened. That story
- 23:20Speaker 1: keeps changing. We'll have the latest on the investigation when
- 23:22Speaker 1: we come back. For all of our viewers out there
- 23:29Speaker 1: asking where to watch One America News, we'd like to

- 24:04Speaker 2: Welcome back.
- 24:04Speaker 1: So it's another day and another update about the Cornell
- 24:07Speaker 1: seven and more text messages. If you haven't been following this,
- 24:12Speaker 1: here's the deal. Seven young men who used to, I
- 24:16Speaker 1: think all of them are done now attend Cornell are
- 24:18Speaker 1: being accused of raping an anonymous former female student back
- 24:22Speaker 1: in October of 2024.
- 24:23Speaker 2: And now after two.
- 24:24Speaker 1: Years, And the local DA, the local cops, the on-campus cops,
- 24:31Speaker 1: the president of the university all looked into it and said,
- 24:35Speaker 1: no prosecution back then. But now all of a sudden today,
- 24:39Speaker 1: you have the New York Attorney General, Letitia James now,
- 24:42Speaker 1: getting involved. You have millions of people online saying these
- 24:45Speaker 1: seven are guilty. Again, reminds me of the Duke Lacrosse 3.
- 24:50Speaker 1: Remember that story from years ago? Not the same circumstances,
- 24:54Speaker 1: not the same woman making false accusations, but now we're
- 24:58Speaker 1: learning a whole bunch more.
- 25:00Speaker 2: Okay, about her through text messages.
- 25:03Speaker 1: So, right now, the AG is reviewing all the information,
- 25:08Speaker 1: but a bunch of uncovered text messages are what's causing
- 25:11Speaker 1: all the hoopla. So let me back up and remind
- 25:13Speaker 1: you before we get to our next guest. On the
- 25:15Speaker 1: night of October 20, 2024, the accuser sent her roommate
- 25:19Speaker 1: a three-letter message around 3 o'clock in the morning after
- 25:23Speaker 1: being asked if she was coming home.
- 25:25Speaker 2: She sent IDK. That means I don't know. She was saying, hey,
- 25:28Speaker 2: you coming home tonight? I don't know.
- 25:29Speaker 1: The problem is she claimed days later and then weeks
- 25:34Speaker 1: and months later as her story evolved that she was
- 25:37Speaker 1: so drunk, passed out, and being raped, she was almost unconscious.
- 25:40Speaker 1: The problem is how could you text them in the
- 25:42Speaker 1: middle of all this going on? That's just one of
- 25:44Speaker 1: the many text messages. I mean, she was texting with
- 25:47Speaker 1: one of the guys the next day saying, we didn't
- 25:49Speaker 1: do anything wrong, nothing illegal.
- 25:51Speaker 2: It was fun. I had fun with you guys.
- 25:55Speaker 1: So again, these text messages that are surfacing are painting
- 25:58Speaker 1: a whole new picture of the accuser. In another text,
- 26:02Speaker 1: just days after the alleged incident, the accuser told one
- 26:05Speaker 1: of the frat members that the situation would end up
- 26:08Speaker 1: being funny in a couple months.
- 26:10Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 26:11Speaker 1: She said they should also, we should smoke again together,
- 26:14Speaker 1: but maybe without the extra men or the ketamine. So
- 26:18Speaker 1: like joking that she had sex with multiple men while
- 26:22Speaker 1: drinking and doing ketamine. There's text messages where they're talking
- 26:26Speaker 1: about doing the ketamine off of each other's body parts.
- 26:30Speaker 1: In a different text sent on Sunday, November 3rd, two
- 26:33Speaker 1: weeks after the alleged incident, the accuser also told the
- 26:36Speaker 1: same person that 90% of what happened that night was
- 26:40Speaker 1: not consensual.
- 26:42Speaker 2: However, those weeks later is after she was what?
- 26:47Speaker 1: Told she couldn't go to a bunch of frat parties
- 26:50Speaker 1: because text messages has got out within the frat and
- 26:54Speaker 1: within her sorority, and girls and other guys were calling
- 26:58Speaker 1: her a hoe and saying, don't invite her to parties.
- 27:02Speaker 1: So again, the only thing that happened between the next
- 27:05Speaker 1: day where it was consensual, it was fun, maybe do
- 27:08Speaker 1: it again, blah, blah, blah, to two weeks later, you
- 27:11Speaker 1: can't come to parties. Now all of a sudden, hey,
- 27:14Speaker 1: you know, this and that was okay, but this wasn't okay.
- 27:18Speaker 1: Then fast forward, y'all raped me. That's a strange evolution
- 27:24Speaker 1: of the facts and what happened. So to find out
- 27:27Speaker 1: more about what's going on in this case, let's be
- 27:30Speaker 1: joined by an attorney.
- 27:31Speaker 2: How about that? And by the way, he happens to
- 27:32Speaker 2: be one of my coworkers.
- 27:34Speaker 1: Host of the David Pollack Primetime Show right here on
- 27:36Speaker 1: One America News, our good friend David Pollack, back on
- 27:39Speaker 1: Real America. Okay, David, put your attorney cap on, not
- 27:43Speaker 1: your talk show host. You've been tracking it. Yeah, wherever
- 27:45Speaker 1: it is.
- 27:46Speaker 2: You've been tracking this one. You've read the text messages.
- 27:50Speaker 1: Again, this was all looked at, right, back in 24,
- 27:53Speaker 1: and local prosecutors who saw those damaging text messages decided
- 27:58Speaker 1: not to file charges criminally against these men. The university
- 28:02Speaker 1: did some actions, right? They expelled a couple. They suspended
- 28:05Speaker 1: a couple. But nothing else happened. So why all of
- 28:08Speaker 1: a sudden, two years later, has this become this big
- 28:11Speaker 1: national firestorm?
- 28:14Speaker 6: Well, that's the question.
- 28:15Speaker 10: The timing is the question because all of this was
- 28:19Speaker 10: sort of over with. The administrative staff at the university,
- 28:25Speaker 10: they took action that they thought was necessary. The prosecutor
- 28:29Speaker 10: declined to prosecute, just like you said.
- 28:32Speaker 6: But now we're in what, September?
- 28:33Speaker 10: When they filed this lawsuit around September 14th, I believe?
- 28:37Speaker 1: Yep.
- 28:38Speaker 10: A month and a half before a midterm election. You
- 28:40Speaker 10: have Governor Hochul facing a tough campaign there.
- 28:44Speaker 6: You have all.
- 28:45Speaker 10: Of these reasons why, hey, well, maybe it'd be good
- 28:48Speaker 10: to resurrect a good Me Too case.
- 28:49Speaker 2: I see where you're going.
- 28:50Speaker 6: Getting ready for the election. And now here we are.
- 28:54Speaker 10: The only problem is the reason why the prosecutor didn't
- 28:56Speaker 10: prosecute this case back then is because this case has
- 28:58Speaker 10: a lot of holes in it. And very quickly, Hochul
- 29:01Speaker 10: was to appoint Letitia James. Letitia James very quickly rushed
- 29:04Speaker 10: to judgment, as you expected, on script, on schedule.
- 29:07Speaker 6: AOC comes out and says something similar.
- 29:09Speaker 10: And before you know it, these individuals, these boys who
- 29:13Speaker 10: were involved in this evening, regardless of what actually happened, well,
- 29:18Speaker 10: they were already guilty without a prosecution, without a civil trial.
- 29:21Speaker 2: David, what's that called again? You're an attorney. What's that
- 29:24Speaker 2: called in this country?
- 29:25Speaker 6: Guilty before proven innocent?
- 29:27Speaker 2: No, that's what Democrats believe. It's innocent until proven guilty, right?
- 29:31Speaker 6: Well, that's what it's supposed to be. Absolutely, it's what
- 29:32Speaker 6: it's supposed to be. But that's not how the left operates.
- 29:34Speaker 10: And they always operate with the assumption of, well, they're guilty,
- 29:37Speaker 10: so let's just find a way to make that be.
- 29:39Speaker 10: This case is complicated for a lot of reasons. Letitia
- 29:42Speaker 10: James' appointment already has some issues with it because she
- 29:44Speaker 10: already commented on what she believed the outcome of the
- 29:47Speaker 10: case should be. Just everything is just sort of all
- 29:50Speaker 10: over the place. Even President Trump is upset with Letitia
- 29:52Speaker 10: James being involved here. At the end of the day,
- 29:54Speaker 10: it's this. There's a lot of victims here. Some of
- 29:56Speaker 10: the boys claim to be victims. The girl claims to
- 29:58Speaker 10: be a victim. There's text messages.
- 30:00Speaker 6: There's drugs. There's alcohol.
- 30:02Speaker 10: These are young people who do a lot of stupid
- 30:04Speaker 10: things when they're in college. And there's a lot of
- 30:06Speaker 10: regret going around. We don't know what happened. We might
- 30:09Speaker 10: not never know what happened. But all we do know
- 30:12Speaker 10: is that you shouldn't convict seven men before you've even
- 30:16Speaker 10: given the opportunity to defend themselves.
- 30:18Speaker 6: And unfortunately, that's what's happening.
- 30:20Speaker 2: Yeah, President Trump feels the same way.
- 30:22Speaker 1: How can New York State Attorney General Decia James be
- 30:25Speaker 1: allowed to investigate the Cornell rape scandal when she's a
- 30:28Speaker 1: dirty and disgusting cop herself and has zero credibility? Any
- 30:32Speaker 1: decision will be appealed by her presence in this case.
- 30:36Speaker 1: She goes on to rip her more. We know he's
- 30:38Speaker 1: no fan of hers. Again, back to your attorney hat.
- 30:42Speaker 1: You're looking at the facts as we know them from
- 30:45Speaker 1: the original investigation, not new allegations from this female. And
- 30:50Speaker 1: the text messages say it all, as far as I'm concerned.
- 30:54Speaker 2: You've read them. Yeah. Yeah.
- 30:56Speaker 10: I mean, the allegations, too, that she sodomized one of
- 30:59Speaker 10: the young men when he was passed out. I mean,
- 31:02Speaker 10: the whole situation is just it's tragic in a lot
- 31:05Speaker 10: of different ways.
- 31:07Speaker 6: And at the end of the day, using this case politically.
- 31:12Speaker 10: And rushing to judgment, making it a campaign issue, really
- 31:15Speaker 10: is just everything wrong with the way the left just
- 31:18Speaker 10: does just about everything, with the messaging and the timing
- 31:22Speaker 10: of everything. I don't know that we'll ever see the
- 31:26Speaker 10: facts really come out. I mean, you're talking about seven
- 31:28Speaker 10: different possible defendants, maybe more a civil case that's definitely
- 31:32Speaker 10: going to go on for years. I don't think the
- 31:34Speaker 10: timing of this was to get a resolution before the election.
- 31:38Speaker 6: I think it was just to get the narrative, and
- 31:39Speaker 6: now the narrative is falling apart.
- 31:40Speaker 1: And I think somebody grabbed this young influential girl, someone
- 31:44Speaker 1: you could influence and say, Hey, we heard what happened
- 31:46Speaker 1: to you back then.
- 31:48Speaker 2: Now you're claiming this.
- 31:49Speaker 1: I think you should go do charges and we'll help
- 31:51Speaker 1: you because again, why would you have pushed harder back
- 31:55Speaker 1: then in 24 or 25 or early 26? No, it
- 31:59Speaker 1: got dumped right before a midterm great division between men
- 32:03Speaker 1: and women and rich, whatever division they.
- 32:05Speaker 2: Want to try. They always do it right before an election.
- 32:08Speaker 1: David Pollack, as always, thanks for putting that attorney hat on.

- 33:25Speaker 1: Because the second largest bank in the entire country is
- 33:29Speaker 1: being held accountable for what, you ask? Violations concerning transactions
- 33:34Speaker 1: tied to sanctioned countries by our.
- 33:37Speaker 2: Country, like, oh, I don't know, Russia.
- 33:40Speaker 1: Bank of America being fined over $ 1. 2 billion for failing
- 33:45Speaker 1: to report more.
- 33:46Speaker 2: Than $ 5 billion in suspicious transactions. Banks, you greedy SOBs.
- 33:53Speaker 2: I wish we didn't need them, folks, but unfortunately.
- 33:55Speaker 1: This includes funds tied to Chinese money laundering, you don't say.
- 34:00Speaker 1: Narcotics trafficking operations south of our border, violating the Bank
- 34:05Speaker 1: Secrecy Act. On top of it all, their lack of
- 34:08Speaker 1: action might have benefited Iran, which brings us to the
- 34:12Speaker 1: current status of the conflict with their terrorist regime. Now,
- 34:16Speaker 1: while combat between us, the US and Iran, has been
- 34:20Speaker 1: paused for a few weeks. The Iran-backed Houthis are heavily
- 34:24Speaker 1: attacking Saudi Arabia this week, just like they did over
- 34:27Speaker 1: the weekend. They fired missiles just this morning, and they
- 34:30Speaker 1: vowed to keep targeting the country's main airport and their
- 34:34Speaker 1: oil infrastructure in the next coming days. The Houthis claim
- 34:37Speaker 1: their new attacks are due to Saudi aggression.
- 34:41Speaker 2: Really?
- 34:42Speaker 1: How are the Saudis aggr... Because they don't want terrorists
- 34:44Speaker 1: in their nation?
- 34:45Speaker 2: Houthis? Don't forget. These folks are.
- 34:47Speaker 1: Backed by Iran, meaning the Houthis are probably doing this
- 34:52Speaker 1: because the IRGC is telling them to. Now, let's talk
- 34:56Speaker 1: about the Ayatollah and his regime. They're building more missiles.
- 35:01Speaker 1: They're trying to fortify their nuke sites. They're at it again.
- 35:05Speaker 1: They're literally strengthening facilities like that Pickaxe Mountain, rebuilding their
- 35:10Speaker 1: missile weapons capabilities, putting up new.
- 35:13Speaker 2: Barriers around their power plants.
- 35:15Speaker 1: What's more, they're mobilizing civilian support and getting ready if
- 35:19Speaker 1: we start hitting them again, which is why, in my opinion,
- 35:22Speaker 1: we never, ever should have let up. I know President
- 35:25Speaker 1: Trump wanted to give the diplomacy a chance and didn't
- 35:28Speaker 1: want to kill more innocent people. But if you want
- 35:32Speaker 1: to put Iran down like the dirty dog they are,
- 35:35Speaker 1: and I mean the regime, not the good Persian people,
- 35:39Speaker 1: sometimes you've got to put that dog that keeps biting
- 35:41Speaker 1: people down. And it's been 47 years of that dog
- 35:44Speaker 1: biting So we should have put it down a long
- 35:46Speaker 1: time ago. That regime threatening to attack neighboring nations with
- 35:51Speaker 1: ground attacks if we start.
- 35:53Speaker 2: Hitting them again.
- 35:55Speaker 1: This according to a new Wall Street Journal report citing
- 35:57Speaker 1: unnamed sources within the IRGC. Communication cables, data centers, AI facilities,
- 36:04Speaker 1: you name it, they said they'll hit a bunch of stuff.
- 36:07Speaker 1: So the question is, will or when will President Trump
- 36:12Speaker 1: strike them again? Joining me now, for the very latest
- 36:15Speaker 1: on what the heck's going on with Iran. He's a
- 36:17Speaker 1: retired Navy SEAL officer and chief talent officer at Overwatch,
- 36:21Speaker 1: mission critical, or PEL. Mike Cirelli back on the program.
- 36:24Speaker 2: All right, Mike.
- 36:25Speaker 1: What the heck's going on? First, can I talk Bank
- 36:29Speaker 1: of America? So what's the connection? We know that China, Russia,
- 36:33Speaker 1: and Iran have all been in bed together for oil
- 36:35Speaker 1: and natural gas and weapons and blah, blah, blah, you
- 36:38Speaker 1: name it. So because Bank of America was doing stuff
- 36:42Speaker 1: with Russia? Is that why our government now is looking
- 36:45Speaker 1: at the hardcore sanctions, saying by you working with Russia,
- 36:48Speaker 1: you inadvertently are helping someone that we're literally in a
- 36:51Speaker 1: conflict with right now because you helped Iran?
- 36:55Speaker 11: So first, you have to give credit to the man
- 36:57Speaker 11: who's cleaning up this overall archaic and decrepit system, and
- 37:02Speaker 11: that is Scott Bassett. He's finally putting ethics and governance
- 37:07Speaker 11: in place. It's not that Bank of America was doing
- 37:10Speaker 11: direct banking or funds with Iran, but they use intermediaries.
- 37:16Speaker 11: And Scott Bassett has been slowly dismantling that on top
- 37:19Speaker 11: of the sanctions that he's put on Iran from their
- 37:23Speaker 11: aviation to maritime to intermediaries. He's slowly dismantling Iran's ability
- 37:29Speaker 11: to do banking anywhere in the world to include sanctions
- 37:35Speaker 11: with China. if they cooperate with Iran in any way,
- 37:38Speaker 11: which will deny them access to the global banking system.
- 37:41Speaker 11: So this is in large part due to President Trump
- 37:44Speaker 11: and Scott Bassett. And, you know, Bank of America should
- 37:48Speaker 11: pay the price here. They should be verifying who they're
- 37:50Speaker 11: doing business with and if there is a potential that
- 37:52Speaker 11: they are an intermediary with a terrorist network or a
- 37:57Speaker 11: enemy nation state.
- 37:59Speaker 2: I feel like banks don't care who they do business with.
- 38:02Speaker 11: Oh, no, no, no.
- 38:03Speaker 2: They want the money. It's exactly, it's just make.
- 38:05Speaker 1: The damn profit. I had B of A years ago
- 38:08Speaker 1: and I got to tell you, it was not a
- 38:09Speaker 1: good experience. And so I quit using them a long,
- 38:11Speaker 1: long time ago. All right, let's move over to Iran
- 38:14Speaker 1: and the Saudis and their threat that if we start
- 38:16Speaker 1: hitting them, since they're trying to refortify their nuke sites,
- 38:19Speaker 1: pickaxe mountain, and actually start building missiles and drones again
- 38:23Speaker 1: after we blew up a bunch of those facilities, they're
- 38:25Speaker 1: going to go and put ground troops they're threatening now
- 38:28Speaker 1: possibly into Saudi Arabia and hit the Saudis even harder. Now,
- 38:32Speaker 1: is there a reason that President Trump's not hitting them
- 38:34Speaker 1: right now while they're making these threats?
- 38:36Speaker 2: Is that our friends?
- 38:37Speaker 1: Because I know we're close with the Saudis and they're saying, hey,
- 38:39Speaker 1: don't do it because they might come hit us. Or
- 38:42Speaker 1: is this just the president still showing restraint to see
- 38:45Speaker 1: if diplomacy will work?
- 38:46Speaker 2: What are you hearing?
- 38:47Speaker 11: I think it's a bit of both. One, you've got
- 38:49Speaker 11: the midterm elections. He's shown restraint and he did. He
- 38:52Speaker 11: was on the record saying he would most likely pick
- 38:54Speaker 11: up attacks post midterms. But it's very interesting that Iran
- 38:57Speaker 11: would make that threat. I'll say you don't send troops
- 39:00Speaker 11: forward when when you are surrounded by your enemies. and
- 39:04Speaker 11: you're already in a food situation. The food inflation, which
- 39:09Speaker 11: means scarcity within Iran, can't support troops. And I'm going
- 39:13Speaker 11: to tell you that hungry troops don't fight at an
- 39:16Speaker 11: optimal level. But a lot has happened this week between
- 39:19Speaker 11: the Houthis and Iran. You know, Iran, I'm sorry, Saudi Arabia.
- 39:22Speaker 11: Saudi Arabia does have a vast military capability, but their
- 39:26Speaker 11: problem is its geography. And so they can't put a
- 39:28Speaker 11: Patriot missile battery next to every data center or refinery
- 39:32Speaker 11: or desalinization plant or even airports. They are not robust
- 39:37Speaker 11: in air or missile defense systems, but we're seeing that change.
- 39:41Speaker 11: And with the entrance of Turkey as part of the
- 39:43Speaker 11: Mecca Joint Defense Agreement, Turkey is indirectly involved supporting Saudi Arabia,
- 39:51Speaker 11: not only with intel material support, but also reinforcing their
- 39:56Speaker 11: anti-missile defenses. It's going to change the landscape of the
- 39:59Speaker 11: Middle East. And I think we are possibly going to
- 40:02Speaker 11: see UK enter. We had very strong language from Prime
- 40:06Speaker 11: Minister Andy Burnham, who said they believe that the IRGC
- 40:10Speaker 11: was directly involved with the attack planning. in direction to
- 40:15Speaker 11: attack RAF Fairford.
- 40:17Speaker 1: Okay, folks, if you don't recall a couple weeks back,
- 40:21Speaker 1: we had Mike on, and we've been talking about this
- 40:22Speaker 1: now for weeks, where they arrested five, then a sixth
- 40:25Speaker 1: the next day.
- 40:25Speaker 2: Even though they let them all out on.
- 40:27Speaker 1: Bail, they arrested six possible terrorists that were going to
- 40:30Speaker 1: hit the Royal Air Force Base in Fairford over in
- 40:34Speaker 1: the UK, which we were putting our strike bombers at.
- 40:37Speaker 2: We've now since moved them.
- 40:38Speaker 1: And so, yeah, just this week, I think it was
- 40:40Speaker 1: yesterday or Monday, the UK said, we're positive, we're pretty
- 40:44Speaker 1: dang sure the IRGC was the one behind these 10,
- 40:47Speaker 1: 12 guys, even though they arrested all of them. that
- 40:49Speaker 1: we're gonna blow up that base and hit our bombers,
- 40:51Speaker 1: so good to know. I'd like to see more European
- 40:54Speaker 1: nations get involved. This is way closer to their backyard
- 40:57Speaker 1: than it is ours, and they don't wanna get involved
- 40:59Speaker 1: in this, even though they have, meaning the IRGC, have
- 41:02Speaker 1: rained terror on the world for 47 years, and yet
- 41:05Speaker 1: nobody wants to jump in. Let me move over to
- 41:08Speaker 1: one other conflict, Mike, and get your take on it,
- 41:11Speaker 1: just because things have been heating up.
- 41:14Speaker 2: Russia, Ukraine.
- 41:15Speaker 1: Got a headline here where Russia strikes have left over 600,000
- 41:19Speaker 1: Ukrainians without power over this past week. This was in
- 41:24Speaker 1: response to the Ukraine hitting a whole bunch of Russia's
- 41:27Speaker 1: data centers over the weekend with their drones. So this
- 41:31Speaker 1: one is far from over. I know President Trump thought
- 41:35Speaker 1: he was going to be able to nip this one
- 41:36Speaker 1: in the bud a long, long time ago, but trying
- 41:38Speaker 1: to get Zelensky and Putin to agree is like getting
- 41:41Speaker 1: a Democrat, socialist, and me to agree on something. Mike?
- 41:45Speaker 11: There are two parties that have nothing but visceral hatred
- 41:48Speaker 11: for one another, and that's going to be a difficult task.
- 41:50Speaker 11: And he's handling it like a champ. He's doing what
- 41:52Speaker 11: he can. Smart call by Ukraine to hit Russian data centers.
- 41:56Speaker 11: Everything we touch to include our national defense runs off
- 41:59Speaker 11: data centers now. So that is a massive capability hit
- 42:06Speaker 11: that Russia is ultimately suffering. Now, Russia is going to
- 42:09Speaker 11: pick up the attacks on the energy infrastructure of Ukraine.
- 42:13Speaker 1: Why? Why?
- 42:14Speaker 11: We've got winter approaching.
- 42:15Speaker 2: There you go.
- 42:15Speaker 11: And we all know winter's over there.
- 42:17Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 42:18Speaker 11: You've got to be a strong individual to live in
- 42:20Speaker 11: those conditions.
- 42:21Speaker 3: Sure.
- 42:21Speaker 11: And if you impact the civilians or the Ukraine's military
- 42:25Speaker 11: will to fight during the winter, you make it much
- 42:27Speaker 11: more easy for your military to conduct an offensive.
- 42:31Speaker 2: Sure.
- 42:31Speaker 11: And that's what they're preparing for. Both sides are hitting
- 42:34Speaker 11: each other to prepare for this winter offensive if it comes.
- 42:37Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 42:38Speaker 2: Putin's going to try and starve and freeze them out,
- 42:40Speaker 2: it sounds like. Got to get this one to bed.
- 42:42Speaker 2: So many dying, literally. Tens of thousands every month, folks.
- 42:47Speaker 1: There's been a lot of reporting kind of died off
- 42:49Speaker 1: on this war, but so many people, soldiers and civilians,
- 42:52Speaker 1: keep dying in that conflict.
- 42:54Speaker 11: 1.5 million Russian soldiers have died during this conflict. 1.5 million.
- 42:59Speaker 1: I got to think that support in Russia is waning
- 43:01Speaker 1: for Putin on this thing. I think the Russian people
- 43:03Speaker 1: are getting sick and tired of it. Mike Cirelli, retired
- 43:05Speaker 1: Navy SEAL, Chief Talent Officer at Overwatch Mission Critical, as always.
- 43:08Speaker 2: Thank you for the insight, brother. Appreciate you. Hey, thanks, Stan. Yep,
- 43:11Speaker 2: take care. Alrighty, stick around.
- 43:13Speaker 1: Coming up next, we're going to head to New York City,
- 43:16Speaker 1: where the Mamdani administration and the Liberal City Council and
- 43:20Speaker 1: the Big Apple have decided to.
- 43:21Speaker 2: Ban those beautiful horse-drawn carriage rides. But why? We'll dive
- 43:26Speaker 2: into that one next. Don't go away.

- 44:16Speaker 2: Oh, remember those? Ever been to New York City? Taken
- 44:18Speaker 2: a beautiful carriage ride by Central Park or something? Well,
- 44:23Speaker 2: better hurry up.
- 44:24Speaker 1: Get to the Big Apple and take those rides because
- 44:26Speaker 1: they're going to be gone soon.
- 44:28Speaker 2: Why?
- 44:29Speaker 1: Well, the mayor, Zoran Mamdani, and the Liberal City Council
- 44:33Speaker 1: says they got to go. So instead of worrying about
- 44:36Speaker 1: the outbreak of crime, the drug epidemic, your homeless epidemic,
- 44:42Speaker 1: illegal alien invasion, instead of worrying about that, Mr. Mayor
- 44:47Speaker 1: and City Council, you're worried about horse poop. Beginning June 2028,
- 44:53Speaker 1: it will be illegal to operate horse-drawn carriages in the
- 44:57Speaker 1: Big Apple. roughly putting about 200 people out of work
- 45:01Speaker 1: who spent thousands of dollars to buy their little medallion
- 45:05Speaker 1: thing like cab drivers have to buy so they can
- 45:07Speaker 1: actually drive, ride their horses in that town. Ma'am Danny
- 45:11Speaker 1: broke the news yesterday on his ex-account. City Council scheduled
- 45:15Speaker 1: a vote on the proposal next Thursday, but sounds like
- 45:17Speaker 1: it's gonna pass. So when it does, again, all licensed
- 45:22Speaker 1: carriage holders expire May 31st, 2028.
- 45:26Speaker 2: Sorry, no new applications, no renewals. It's just done.
- 45:30Speaker 1: They're ending something that's been, well, part of the tourist
- 45:33Speaker 1: trap of New York for 150 years plus.
- 45:36Speaker 2: But think about it.
- 45:37Speaker 1: Horse-drawn carriages is what they used when the city was built.
- 45:41Speaker 1: It's something that's been there forever. And while we're talking
- 45:44Speaker 1: about New York, Let's pivot to some real problems that
- 45:48Speaker 1: Mamdani and the.
- 45:49Speaker 2: Liberals are not solving. How about the cost of housing?
- 45:53Speaker 1: New York is one of the least affordable cities in America,
- 45:56Speaker 1: and private landlords are now being squeezed by the Mamdani administration,
- 46:00Speaker 1: allowing unruly tenants to routinely abuse the financial aid program.
- 46:06Speaker 1: It's been abused for years and years. Property owners saying
- 46:09Speaker 1: things couldn't get worse, right? Yeah, but then they elected him.
- 46:14Speaker 1: They're talking about building more affordable housing in particular neighborhoods
- 46:19Speaker 1: like the Upper West Side.
- 46:20Speaker 2: A little too late though.
- 46:22Speaker 1: There's no clear indication of where the money is gonna
- 46:24Speaker 1: come from and the city is already facing a huge deficit.
- 46:29Speaker 1: Despite this glaring issue, Ma'am Dani is entering into two
- 46:33Speaker 1: contracts worth nearly $ 9 million to pay for gender affirming
- 46:37Speaker 1: care for minors. Two vendors have already been identified for
- 46:41Speaker 1: the contracts. And the contract's going to last for at
- 46:43Speaker 1: least two years. So once again, you've got all these problems,
- 46:48Speaker 1: and you're more worried about the gender bender issue and
- 46:51Speaker 1: some frickin' horse crap on the streets. Join me now
- 46:54Speaker 1: to weigh in. You cannot make this stuff up, folks.
- 46:57Speaker 1: She's an independent journalist, host of the New York Power Table,
- 47:00Speaker 1: Jacqueline Toberoff.
- 47:01Speaker 2: Back on the program.
- 47:02Speaker 1: As a lifelong New Yorker, Jacqueline, and when I've visited,
- 47:06Speaker 1: I have taken those rides, they are special because everything
- 47:10Speaker 1: is so noisy when you're in an Uber or a cab,
- 47:13Speaker 1: and let's be real, the Uber and the yellow cab drivers.
- 47:15Speaker 2: No offense to your fair city, suck at driving.
- 47:18Speaker 1: So I like being in this open, I ride motorcycle.
- 47:21Speaker 1: I like being in this carriage and hearing the clip
- 47:24Speaker 1: cloppy of the horse and see the big apple.
- 47:26Speaker 2: Why get rid of it?
- 47:27Speaker 1: I understand there's been some deadly accidents and that some
- 47:29Speaker 1: horses have had to put down or died on the
- 47:32Speaker 1: job because the owners maybe put them out when it
- 47:34Speaker 1: was too hot or too cold.
- 47:36Speaker 2: So regulate them, give them rules. But why ban it?
- 47:39Speaker 2: What's behind this?
- 47:41Speaker 12: Well, I think that this is low-hanging fruit. I think
- 47:44Speaker 12: that this is probably something that Zohra Mandani can deliver upon,
- 47:47Speaker 12: whereas all of his other supposed promises, they're lies. Regarding this,
- 47:53Speaker 12: we're talking about approximately 208 licensed drivers who paid for medallions.
- 47:58Speaker 12: We're talking about around 150 horses and I think like
- 48:03Speaker 12: 78 carriages. These people have paid for their medallions. They
- 48:07Speaker 12: will be ostensibly out of work, which is also very
- 48:10Speaker 12: in line with this administration. They really target people who work.
- 48:16Speaker 12: But I do think that there should be regulations. These incidents,
- 48:20Speaker 12: they are horrifying to see. The bill is being named
- 48:24Speaker 12: after an 18-year-old tourist named Romansh Mahajan. He was thrown
- 48:30Speaker 12: from a carriage. You know, again, when people see these images,
- 48:32Speaker 12: it's terrible. But again, this is an iconic institution to
- 48:36Speaker 12: Central Park. It's been around for 168 years operating.
- 48:41Speaker 1: Right, as a tourist thing. Again, carriages and horses have
- 48:44Speaker 1: been in New York City since you built the dang city.
- 48:46Speaker 1: Because how'd you get around? We didn't have cars. So
- 48:48Speaker 1: I just don't, I get it. Again, deadly accidents, horse deaths,
- 48:53Speaker 1: poop on the streets. But tourists love it. I got
- 48:56Speaker 1: to think that most New Yorkers love it. And so
- 48:58Speaker 1: I get your point. It's low-hanging fruit so he can
- 49:01Speaker 1: act like he did something since everything else he's promised
- 49:04Speaker 1: is falling apart because he has no money.
- 49:06Speaker 2: You're in the red in New York City. Your budget's
- 49:09Speaker 2: upside down.
- 49:11Speaker 12: Well, he has no money and also his policies are really,
- 49:16Speaker 12: they create manufactured and gratuitous risk. to our lives, to
- 49:21Speaker 12: our pocketbooks, to our education. So, you know, as all
- 49:25Speaker 12: of these things are falling apart piece by piece, he's
- 49:29Speaker 12: going after something like banning the horse carriages, which again,
- 49:33Speaker 12: when people see these horrifying images, it's easy to rally.
- 49:36Speaker 6: Easy.
- 49:36Speaker 2: I get your low hanging fruit comment. OK, what about nine?
- 49:40Speaker 1: Was it nine million, I said, for gender affirming care?
- 49:43Speaker 1: I thought the president already told him anybody that does
- 49:45Speaker 1: gender affirming care out there, if you're a hospital, if
- 49:47Speaker 1: you're a city, whatever, you're going to lose your federal funding.
- 49:50Speaker 1: But these damn socialist radical Democrats like him, they keep
- 49:53Speaker 1: doubling down on the transgender bender issue.
- 49:56Speaker 2: You can't do it.
- 49:57Speaker 1: It goes against science and God. And the federal government
- 49:59Speaker 1: told you to stop it, Mayor.
- 50:01Speaker 2: Your thoughts on that?
- 50:03Speaker 12: Well, my thoughts are he and First Lady Ramadwaji, they
- 50:05Speaker 12: don't have kids, so they're coming after out. Why don't
- 50:08Speaker 12: they try this on the pro-Palestinian community she goes to?
- 50:15Speaker 12: When she visits these retreats, these jihadi female retreats, why
- 50:19Speaker 12: doesn't she try pushing some of this transgender stuff on them?
- 50:23Speaker 12: This is the Red-Green Alliance coming to America, coming to
- 50:26Speaker 12: New York City. Once again, we see birth rates are down.
- 50:29Speaker 12: They're trying to neuter the kids. They're trying to break
- 50:32Speaker 12: this sacrosanct trust between families. They're targeting minors. This is
- 50:37Speaker 12: sexually depraved on top of everything else.
- 50:40Speaker 2: Totally agree. It's disgusting.
- 50:42Speaker 1: Jacqueline Tobaroff, lifelong New Yorker, host of the New York
- 50:46Speaker 1: Power Table, independent journalist.
- 50:48Speaker 2: Thank you, as always, for weighing in. Appreciate you.
- 50:51Speaker 12: Thank you. I appreciate coming on.
- 50:52Speaker 6: Yep.
- 50:52Speaker 1: Best of luck in that Big Apple. All right, folks,
- 50:55Speaker 1: before we say goodnight, let you know about a special
- 50:56Speaker 1: guest tomorrow. Haven't had him on in a while, but
- 50:58Speaker 1: I really love him. He is a TPUSA faith leader,
- 51:01Speaker 1: good friend of ours, pastor, John Amachuku. He's been out
- 51:05Speaker 1: doing what he does, going to school boards, reading some
- 51:08Speaker 1: of the most disgusting, pornographic, horrific books that your kids
- 51:11Speaker 1: are allowed to read in public schools, trying to get
- 51:14Speaker 1: school boards to stop it. Well, recently he did that,
- 51:17Speaker 1: I think, down in one of the Carolinas. And then,
- 51:19Speaker 1: of course, they called the cops and threw him out.
- 51:21Speaker 2: Watch this. Sir, if you're going to read the nasty words,
- 51:25Speaker 2: I can't allow that. What do you mean? You're censoring
- 51:27Speaker 2: me now. You can't read the nasty stuff, man. That's censorship.
- 51:31Speaker 2: I haven't even read a word. I need my time back.
- 51:35Speaker 6: I appeal the ruling of the chair.
- 51:37Speaker 2: You're taking my time. I've been knowing a man put
- 51:40Speaker 2: his d * * *.
- 51:41Speaker 3: No, come on.
- 51:42Speaker 2: We can't do that, sir. Mr. Schwartz.
- 51:46Speaker 6: I'm 12 now.
- 51:48Speaker 9: I've been knowing about that since I was five or six.
- 51:51Speaker 6: Sir, this is out of order.
- 51:52Speaker 1: A bit later, again, cops came in, had him removed.
- 51:56Speaker 1: At least there was somebody on that school board, I
- 51:58Speaker 1: don't know her name, sensible enough to say, you're violating
- 52:01Speaker 1: his First Amendment rights. Plus, school boards, city councils, during
- 52:05Speaker 1: public comment, as you know, folks, aren't.
- 52:06Speaker 2: Supposed to respond. They're supposed to shut their mouths.
- 52:09Speaker 1: So I guarantee you the pastor has something to say
- 52:11Speaker 1: about that tomorrow night. I'd like to see more of
- 52:13Speaker 1: you get involved like him. Anyway, that does it for
- 52:16Speaker 1: a Wednesday edition. We'll be back tomorrow, 8 Eastern, 5 Pacific.
