The Weaponization of Government · David Pollack Primetime

0:10
Speaker 1: TONIGHT, THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION JUST SHUT DOWN 270 DRIVING SCHOOLS
0:15
Speaker 1: THAT WERE HANDING COMMERCIAL DRIVER'S LICENSES TO ILLEGAL ALIENS WHO
0:20
Speaker 1: CAN'T READ ENGLISH. SERIOUSLY. WE GOT FLORIDA'S LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR JAKE
0:25
Speaker 1: COLLINS HERE. REMEMBER, HE FLEW TO CALIFORNIA AND HAULED ONE
0:28
Speaker 1: OF THEM BACK TO FACE JUSTICE. HE'S HERE. AND POP SUPERSTAR.
0:32
Speaker 1: I'M NOT GOING TO TALK ABOUT THAT. I'M NOT GOING
0:34
Speaker 1: TO TALK ABOUT THAT. SHE GATHERED A FIELD FULL OF
0:38
Speaker 1: TEENAGE GIRLS, CALLED IT WOMEN'S WELL-BEING, AND RAISED $ 20 MILLION
0:42
Speaker 1: FOR THE ABORTION INDUSTRY. For years, we've been talking about
0:53
Speaker 1: how the government of the United States was turned into
0:57
Speaker 1: a weapon aimed at Donald Trump and at anyone who
1:01
Speaker 1: dared stand beside him. Tonight, I'm going to show you
1:06
Speaker 1: how deep it runs. I'm going to start with a
1:09
Speaker 1: story that broke in New York Post yesterday because it
1:13
Speaker 1: proves the entire thing in a single email to Letitia James.
1:17
Speaker 1: Remember her? The Attorney General of New York, she ran
1:20
Speaker 1: for office on a promise to get Trump, not to
1:24
Speaker 1: fight crime, just to get Trump. And this past Friday,
1:28
Speaker 1: one of her own prosecutors, an assistant attorney general named
1:31
Speaker 1: Daniel Weissenfield, he sent an email to 2,000 of his colleagues.
1:36
Speaker 1: In that email, he alleges, in his own words, that
1:39
Speaker 1: he was instructed by his supervisor to find and pursue
1:43
Speaker 1: crimes committed by specific individuals and organizations affiliated with Donald Trump.
1:49
Speaker 1: This was not about investigating a crime and following the
1:54
Speaker 1: evidence where it led. It was about picking a target,
1:57
Speaker 1: in this case, Trump, his company, True Social, and then
2:01
Speaker 1: hunting for a crime to hang on him. Even the
2:04
Speaker 1: forensic accountant who flagged James' own mortgage record is a
2:10
Speaker 1: lifelong Democrat, by the way. He says, and I'm quoting him,
2:12
Speaker 1: he said, I don't even like Trump. and he called
2:16
Speaker 1: what she did a legitimate scandal. If you recall, Drames
2:19
Speaker 1: dragged the president through a civil fraud case that had
2:22
Speaker 1: no victim, and a judge hammered him with a penalty
2:24
Speaker 1: that ballooned past $ 500 million until a New York appeals
2:28
Speaker 1: court threw that penalty out as excessive. That's the civil side.
2:32
Speaker 1: On the criminal side, it was a coordinated assault. A
2:36
Speaker 1: Manhattan district attorney who ran for office also promising to
2:39
Speaker 1: get Trump and convicted him on 34 counts for a
2:43
Speaker 1: crime that didn't even really exist. A special counsel, Jack Smith,
2:47
Speaker 1: who brought two sprawling federal cases that quietly evaporated the
2:51
Speaker 1: moment Trump won the election. A district attorney in Georgia
2:54
Speaker 1: whose racketeering case fell apart after she herself was disqualified.
3:00
Speaker 1: Four prosecutors, one target. That's not a coincidence. It's a campaign.
3:05
Speaker 1: And Donald Trump wasn't the only one. He was just
3:09
Speaker 1: the most famous name on a very long list. Look
3:11
Speaker 1: at what they did to the men and women of
3:13
Speaker 1: January 6th that reached back into the law books, pulled
3:16
Speaker 1: out a statute written after the Enron scandal, a corporate
3:20
Speaker 1: law about shredding documents to obstruct an investigation. And they
3:25
Speaker 1: aimed it at grandmas and veterans walking through the Capitol,
3:27
Speaker 1: taking pictures. Why that law? Well, because it carried up
3:33
Speaker 1: to 20 years in prison. They didn't fit the punishment
3:37
Speaker 1: to the crime. They went looking for a crime that
3:40
Speaker 1: fit the punishment they've already decided they wanted. And in 2024,
3:44
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court of the United States agreed, ruling that
3:47
Speaker 1: the Biden Justice Department had twisted the Enron statute far
3:51
Speaker 1: beyond anything Congress ever intended, and they couldn't use it
3:54
Speaker 1: the way they used it. Then they stacked The seditious
3:58
Speaker 1: conspiracy on top, one of the rarest and heaviest charges
4:02
Speaker 1: in the entire federal code to make certain the sentences
4:05
Speaker 1: were as crushing as they could possibly get. And this
4:08
Speaker 1: machine was running long before January 6th, before they ever
4:12
Speaker 1: laid a glove on Trump himself. They went after the
4:14
Speaker 1: people around President Trump one at a time. George Papadopoulos,
4:18
Speaker 1: Roger Stone, General Michael Flynn, a three-star general. DRIVEN TOWARDS
4:23
Speaker 1: BANKRUPTCY AND PRESSURED INTO PLEADING GUILTY TO A PROCESSED CRIME.
4:26
Speaker 1: PETER NAVARRO, A PRESIDENTIAL ADVISOR WHO DID FOUR MONTHS IN
4:29
Speaker 1: FEDERAL PRISON FOR DEFYING THE JANUARY 6 COMMITTEE, THE WEAPON
4:34
Speaker 1: THEY USED AGAINST MOST OF THESE GUYS, LYING. THE RUSSIA
4:38
Speaker 1: COLLUSION NARRATIVE, REMEMBER THAT? THAT WAS THE LIE. AND THAT
4:44
Speaker 1: NARRATIVE WAS MANUFACTURED BY THE VERY PEOPLE that was weaponizing
4:49
Speaker 1: against everybody else. It was built on the Steele dossier,
4:53
Speaker 1: opposition research bought and paid for by the Hillary Clinton campaign.
4:56
Speaker 1: And the FBI took that garbage and used it to
5:00
Speaker 1: launch an operation called Crossfire Hurricane to spy on President Trump.
5:06
Speaker 1: They invented the crime. THEY WANTED TO MAKE THEIR OWN
5:12
Speaker 1: BASIS FOR DESTROYING THE LIVES OF SO MANY PEOPLE. AND
5:16
Speaker 1: THEY NEVER STOPPED. THEY JUST KEPT GIVING IT NEW NAMES.
5:19
Speaker 1: AND A FEW WEEKS AGO, WE LEARNED THAT THEY CAME
5:23
Speaker 1: FOR THIS NETWORK. WE TALKED ABOUT IT. PRESIDENT TRUMP DECLASSIFIED
5:27
Speaker 1: DOCUMENTS ON A SECRET FBI OPERATION CO-NAMED ROUND RIVER. I
5:31
Speaker 1: DON'T EVEN KNOW IF A RIVER CAN BE ROUND.
5:38
Speaker 2: And then they take the sitting attorney general, Bill Barr,
5:42
Speaker 2: the sitting secretary of state, Mike Pompeo, the sitting chairman
5:45
Speaker 2: of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Chuck Grassley, the sitting chairman
5:49
Speaker 2: of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, Ron Johnson, and all
5:52
Speaker 2: those people who are investigating the legitimate information on Hunter Biden.
5:56
Speaker 3: By the way, I made the list.
5:58
Speaker 2: And they call them conduits of Russian disinformation. We are
6:02
Speaker 2: basically propagandists.
6:04
Speaker 1: The FBI had 14 confidential informants feeding it credible information
6:08
Speaker 1: about Biden family corruption. And instead of following it, a
6:11
Speaker 1: small team of analysts buried it by branding it Russian disinformation,
6:16
Speaker 1: in some cases literally going back and altering their own
6:19
Speaker 1: files to fit the label. Then they built a spreadsheet because,
6:23
Speaker 1: of course, why not? If you put it in a spreadsheet,
6:25
Speaker 1: then it becomes real. And they split it into two.
6:29
Speaker 1: One side, the victims, Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton,
6:33
Speaker 1: George Soros. The other side, the so-called conduits of Russian propaganda.
6:39
Speaker 1: And who did they put on that list? United States senators, congressmen,
6:44
Speaker 1: former Attorney General Bill Barr. Oh, and journalists. John Solomon,
6:47
Speaker 1: he was on that list, the guy you just heard.
6:49
Speaker 1: And one of our own here at this network, OAN
6:52
Speaker 1: Chanel Rion, she was on that list in the enemy column.
6:57
Speaker 1: the conduit of disinformation column, Joe Biden's name, the victim,
7:03
Speaker 1: for the crime of telling you the truth. From the
7:06
Speaker 1: day Joe Biden put his hand on the Bible to
7:09
Speaker 1: about pretty much this morning, the Justice Department of the
7:13
Speaker 1: United States appears to have prosecuted cases and chased sentences
7:17
Speaker 1: based on politics, not justice. It's a documented pattern, and
7:21
Speaker 1: it stretches across a decade. Now, I know exactly what
7:25
Speaker 1: a lot of you are saying right now, and that's David,
7:29
Speaker 1: if that's all true, why hasn't any of these people
7:32
Speaker 1: gone to jail yet? I hear it all the time,
7:34
Speaker 1: and it's a fair question. And it's the right question.
7:37
Speaker 1: But look who you're asking. The Justice Department and the FBI,
7:41
Speaker 1: they're still staffed top to bottom by many of the
7:43
Speaker 1: very people who ran these operations. Can't fire 20,000 people
7:47
Speaker 1: in an afternoon as much as we'd like to see
7:49
Speaker 1: it done. And turning around the culture of an institution,
7:52
Speaker 1: this rotten especially, well, it takes time. Can't just fire everybody.
7:56
Speaker 1: You have to change the way they think and the
7:57
Speaker 1: way they do business. But even outside of that, the courts,
8:02
Speaker 1: even if you fire all of them, The courts, well,
8:05
Speaker 1: they haven't rushed to help either. When this administration finally
8:08
Speaker 1: moved to hold Letitia James accountable, the judge threw out
8:10
Speaker 1: the case, and a grand jury refused to bring it back.
8:14
Speaker 1: It feels like every single day some federal judge somewhere
8:16
Speaker 1: in this country blocks President Trump from doing the very
8:19
Speaker 1: thing the American people asked him to do. And those
8:22
Speaker 1: are the realities we live in. Under Donald Trump, yes,
8:25
Speaker 1: he's done everything he can, but he's one man. He
8:28
Speaker 1: directs the executive branch. He can't force it to move
8:31
Speaker 1: with a stroke of a pen. But he's already done
8:34
Speaker 1: more than any president in history to right these wrongs.
8:36
Speaker 1: He pardoned the January 6th defendants. He pardoned the men
8:39
Speaker 1: they targeted to get him. But the work isn't finished.
8:42
Speaker 1: There are still victims out there tonight. Some are still
8:45
Speaker 1: sitting in prison cells. Some already served in solitary confinement
8:49
Speaker 1: for years, came home to their lives, burned to the ground.
8:53
Speaker 1: And there are many of these cases that President Trump,
8:55
Speaker 1: he just can't even review them personally. If he did that,
8:58
Speaker 1: he wouldn't be able to run the country. which is
9:01
Speaker 1: why awareness is everything right now. And it's why I've
9:05
Speaker 1: decided to do something about it myself, starting this week.
9:08
Speaker 1: Every Wednesday on this program, we're launching a new segment.
9:12
Speaker 1: I'm calling it Weaponization Wednesday. Every week, I'm going to
9:15
Speaker 1: bring you a story, a real person somewhere in this
9:18
Speaker 1: country still living under the boot of the federal government
9:21
Speaker 1: that was weaponized against them in the hope, hoping, that
9:26
Speaker 1: the right people see it and something finally gets done.
9:29
Speaker 1: This Wednesday, we begin with a man named Jeremy Harrell.
9:32
Speaker 1: Jeremy is an Iraq war veteran. He came home carrying
9:35
Speaker 1: PTSD and a traumatic brain injury. And instead of surrendering
9:39
Speaker 1: to those injuries, he founded a nonprofit veterans club to
9:43
Speaker 1: help other broken warriors put themselves back together. He did
9:48
Speaker 1: all of this, by the way, without a paycheck. And
9:51
Speaker 1: for that, the federal government prosecuted him. They argued that
9:54
Speaker 1: the unpaid work he did to save other veterans' lives
9:58
Speaker 1: and his own, by the way, proved he wasn't really disabled.
10:01
Speaker 1: And they sent him to prison. More on that Wednesday.
10:05
Speaker 1: You are not going to believe his story. It's absolutely compelling.
10:08
Speaker 1: And we're going to have stories like that every single week,
10:11
Speaker 1: unbelievable stories. And we're going to share them with you
10:14
Speaker 1: so no one forgets the victims of weaponization. And so
10:17
Speaker 1: that maybe, just maybe, Somebody watching can fix it. Still
10:25
Speaker 1: ahead tonight, America struck Iran this weekend. Iran struck back.
10:29
Speaker 1: And President Trump is squeezing the regime on every front.
10:33
Speaker 1: Then the crackdown on the driving schools, licensing dangerous illegal
10:38
Speaker 1: alien truckers. The Florida lieutenant governor who went to California
10:43
Speaker 1: and took one back himself, Jay Collins. And a story
10:46
Speaker 1: you're not going to believe. Pop star Olivia Rodrigo turns
10:49
Speaker 1: a music festival into a $ 20 million abortion fundraiser. aimed
10:54
Speaker 1: at your children. All of that's coming up tonight. Stick around.

11:40
Speaker 1: This weekend, the Iranian regime made two very stupid decisions. First,
11:46
Speaker 1: they got caught trying to put naval mines back into
11:49
Speaker 1: the Strait of Hormuz. Of course, you know the Syria
11:52
Speaker 1: reform moves as the single most important waterway on the planet.
11:55
Speaker 1: The choke point, fifth of the world's oil moves through.
11:57
Speaker 1: And second, well, then they decided to fire a barrage
12:00
Speaker 1: of ballistic missiles at American troops stationed in Jordan. Not
12:04
Speaker 1: a good idea. President Trump answered them on every single
12:07
Speaker 1: one at once. And here's how it all went down.
12:10
Speaker 3: U.S.
12:10
Speaker 1: Intelligence caught the Revolutionary Guard preparing to launch rockets loaded
12:14
Speaker 1: with sea mines. American forces didn't wait for the mine
12:18
Speaker 1: to sink a tanker. They struck first, hitting two Iranian
12:21
Speaker 1: launchers on Larek Island, right there in the Strait of Hormuz.
12:25
Speaker 1: And it took out those mine layers before they could
12:28
Speaker 1: get back into the Strait. Central Command called it limited
12:31
Speaker 1: precise action. And that's what it was. It was protecting
12:34
Speaker 1: the free flow of global shipping in that Strait. And
12:39
Speaker 1: it was limited and necessary. The timing, though, isn't a coincidence.
12:43
Speaker 1: Just this week, the head of Central Command, Admiral Brad Cooper,
12:47
Speaker 1: announced that after months of dangerous operations, the United States
12:50
Speaker 1: cleared those shipping lanes of every last Iranian mine. Look.
12:54
Speaker 5: Excessively cleared sea mines in the Strait's international shipping lanes
12:58
Speaker 5: that were laid months ago by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
13:04
Speaker 5: internationally recognized transit routes in the strait are free of
13:07
Speaker 5: Iranian sea mines.
13:09
Speaker 1: And that's paying off. According to Goldman Sachs, oil exports
13:12
Speaker 1: through the Persian Gulf have roared back to roughly two-thirds
13:15
Speaker 1: of their pre-war levels, about 16 million barrels a day
13:20
Speaker 1: flowing again, which analysts say should help keep gas prices
13:23
Speaker 1: in check for every American at the pump. So this
13:27
Speaker 1: weekend's mines weren't Iran starting some new fight. They were
13:31
Speaker 1: Iran trying to choke off the oil. that had only
13:34
Speaker 1: just started flowing again. You see what they're up to there, right?
13:38
Speaker 1: And this president wasn't going to allow it. Iran's answer
13:41
Speaker 1: to losing those launchers, though, they decided to fire a
13:43
Speaker 1: volley of ballistic missiles at two bases housing our soldiers
13:47
Speaker 1: in Jordan. American and Jordanian air defenses knocked nearly every
13:50
Speaker 1: one of them out of the sky. A degraded, desperate
13:53
Speaker 1: regime took its best shot at our troops and completely missed,
13:57
Speaker 1: thank God. And then the president did something, well, only
14:01
Speaker 1: President Trump would do. He went on Truth Social and
14:04
Speaker 1: posted a video of Iran's Karg Island, the terminal that
14:09
Speaker 1: ships 90% of Iran's oil, the beating heart of the
14:14
Speaker 1: regime's entire economy, and he posted it being blown to smithereens. Now,
14:20
Speaker 1: that video was computer-generated AI. Nothing was actually hit, and
14:25
Speaker 1: it's pumping oil as we speak, but it wasn't a
14:27
Speaker 1: battlefield report. It really was a message, and this morning,
14:30
Speaker 1: The vice president of the United States spelled that message
14:33
Speaker 1: out in plain English.
14:34
Speaker 6: Look.
14:34
Speaker 7: Well, you know, like the president likes to switch it
14:37
Speaker 7: up on social media a little bit. He would be
14:39
Speaker 7: the first to say he doesn't make announcements about military actions.
14:42
Speaker 3: On social media.
14:44
Speaker 7: But I think that he's sending a message to the Iranians, look,
14:46
Speaker 7: we know that they continue to shoot at commercial shipping.
14:49
Speaker 7: We continue to have a lot of tools at our
14:52
Speaker 7: disposal to prevent them from doing so or at least
14:54
Speaker 7: cut down on them from doing so.
14:56
Speaker 1: And that's what the president is saying.
14:57
Speaker 7: Is, look, you guys are shooting at commercial shipping. You
15:00
Speaker 7: guys are behaving like a terrorist country. You've got to
15:02
Speaker 7: stop or there are going to.
15:03
Speaker 3: Be some consequences.
15:04
Speaker 1: And that's the whole game right there. Stop shooting at
15:06
Speaker 1: commercial ships or the next time you will see Cargillan
15:10
Speaker 1: in flames and it won't be a video. President put
15:14
Speaker 1: Iran's single greatest economic lifeline up on a screen for
15:17
Speaker 1: the whole world to see and let the mullahs lie
15:20
Speaker 1: awake wondering whether he means it. And considering this same
15:25
Speaker 1: president already obliterated the military target on that island back
15:28
Speaker 1: in spring, they have every reason to believe that he does.
15:31
Speaker 1: Earlier tonight, I also told you about the men this
15:34
Speaker 1: government tried to destroy on its way to get Donald Trump.
15:37
Speaker 1: And one of those names was George Papadopoulos. But long
15:40
Speaker 1: before any of that, George Papadopoulos advised the Trump campaign
15:43
Speaker 1: on foreign policy. And there are few people I'd rather
15:46
Speaker 1: have break down what's really happening in Iran right now
15:49
Speaker 1: than George Papadopoulos. So welcome, George Papadopoulos, former policy advisor
15:55
Speaker 1: and author of the must-read book, Deep State Target. Welcome
15:59
Speaker 1: back to the show. George, everyone thought Iran was going
16:03
Speaker 1: to be quiet. The economic hits were going to take
16:05
Speaker 1: some time. But then Iran decided they were going to
16:07
Speaker 1: start laying mines again, and the U.S. had to take action.
16:09
Speaker 1: What are you seeing? Do you think this is an escalation,
16:11
Speaker 1: or do you think this is going to go away?
16:13
Speaker 1: I mean, Trump has already said they're going to have
16:15
Speaker 1: hell to pay for the Jordanian attack. What do you
16:18
Speaker 1: think happens next?
16:20
Speaker 8: Yeah, thanks a lot for having me, David. I think
16:22
Speaker 8: while this is a significant escalation, given that there were
16:27
Speaker 8: no real attacks from by the United States or Iran
16:31
Speaker 8: over the past month. I think the reason that these
16:35
Speaker 8: attacks and this provocative behavior by Iran has actually happened
16:41
Speaker 8: is because they are losing economically, so they've decided to
16:46
Speaker 8: lash out kinetically. While the United States and Iran had
16:50
Speaker 8: this month pause the United States basically shifted towards economic
16:55
Speaker 8: warfare against Iran. That's what the Secretary of Treasury's announcement
17:02
Speaker 8: was this past week regarding the overwhelming sanctions that will
17:08
Speaker 8: not only target the illicit shadow banking network that Iran
17:13
Speaker 8: has utilized to basically launder its oil revenues and to
17:18
Speaker 8: circumvent sanctions, But the secondary sanctions are equally as important
17:23
Speaker 8: because they're going to be hitting third party entities and
17:26
Speaker 8: countries that are directly dealing with Iran. So while Iran
17:31
Speaker 8: is being basically suffocated economically, they decided that they were
17:36
Speaker 8: going to try some sort of limited attack against U.S.
17:39
Speaker 8: forces in the region. But unfortunately for them, they don't
17:42
Speaker 8: hold the cards. They're not negotiating from a position of power.
17:46
Speaker 8: Their military capabilities have really been decimated. And if they
17:50
Speaker 8: do continue, the president will use overwhelming force.
17:54
Speaker 1: Look, a lot of people are suggesting that, oh, man,
17:56
Speaker 1: here we go again with the midterms coming. I don't
18:00
Speaker 1: know if they want the president to just do nothing
18:02
Speaker 1: and allow the Strait to be mined again. And when
18:05
Speaker 1: I say mined, like mines being placed. Do they want
18:08
Speaker 1: Iran to be able to build back their ballistic missile supply?
18:11
Speaker 1: I mean, what do people want? I mean, we don't
18:13
Speaker 1: want to throw away the last six months that we've
18:15
Speaker 1: been targeting Iran. And we've made significant progress. We don't
18:19
Speaker 1: want to throw all that away. Clearly, the president doesn't
18:23
Speaker 1: want to lose the midterms either. And so you look
18:26
Speaker 1: at why people care about this war. And yes, there's
18:28
Speaker 1: a small number. who care about the war because they said, yeah,
18:30
Speaker 1: the president said no new wars, which I don't believe
18:32
Speaker 1: this is a new war. But that being put aside,
18:34
Speaker 1: I think most Americans care about this war, not because
18:37
Speaker 1: they like Iran, but because they care about what they
18:39
Speaker 1: pay at the pump. But this shouldn't really matter, though,
18:42
Speaker 1: because oil is flowing through the strait again. Oil prices
18:45
Speaker 1: are already falling. And now over the weekend, we learned
18:49
Speaker 1: that we have a historic deal now with Venezuela that
18:52
Speaker 1: should also help drive down the price at the pump, right?
18:55
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely.
18:57
Speaker 8: First and foremost, there are no U.S. boots on the ground.
19:00
Speaker 8: This isn't a George W. Bush, Afghanistan, Iraq type scenario.
19:04
Speaker 8: This is a six-month military, limited military operation, which has
19:10
Speaker 8: been an overwhelming success militarily. The nuclear program that was
19:15
Speaker 8: once burgeoning no longer exists in its former form. The
19:20
Speaker 8: ballistic missile production, the drone capabilities, the Navy of Iran
19:25
Speaker 8: and the Air Force no longer exist. Basically, what Iran
19:29
Speaker 8: has been left on is a weak country that is
19:34
Speaker 8: lashing out in a desperate move in order to try
19:37
Speaker 8: to cause some sort of chaos. But the reality is, David,
19:41
Speaker 8: what it's actually done is it's rallied the Arab states
19:44
Speaker 8: and other countries in that part of the world to
19:47
Speaker 8: bring more U.S. military presence and to ossify their ties
19:50
Speaker 8: to the United States because Iran has shown exactly what
19:54
Speaker 8: the Trump administration has said they've always been, an irrational
19:57
Speaker 8: terrorist state. which is hell-bent on destruction. That's what Iran
20:01
Speaker 8: has proven to be. The American people don't want to
20:04
Speaker 8: see a nuclear-armed Iran. They don't want to see an
20:06
Speaker 8: Iran controlling the Strait of Hormuz. And they don't want
20:09
Speaker 8: to see Iran continue to be a threat the next
20:11
Speaker 8: 50 years the way that it has been the last
20:14
Speaker 8: 50 years. And the president's bold decision to go into
20:19
Speaker 8: Iran has prevented Iran from from becoming that type of threat.
20:23
Speaker 8: And that's really ultimately why I think we do have
20:26
Speaker 8: an off-ramp going into the midterms. Now, regarding Venezuela in
20:29
Speaker 8: this historic oil deal?
20:32
Speaker 3: Absolutely.
20:33
Speaker 8: The United States went into Venezuela, took out this despot,
20:36
Speaker 8: this terrorist, narco-trafficker Maduro. He's sitting in prison currently. And
20:40
Speaker 8: the United States is ushering in a renaissance now in
20:44
Speaker 8: Venezuela by promoting oil development for the first time in
20:49
Speaker 8: the last 30 years. They're bringing U.S. expertise and companies
20:52
Speaker 8: in there to lower oil prices, all the while providing
20:56
Speaker 8: security in the That's why the president did what he
21:00
Speaker 8: did against Maduro. And that's ultimately what this oil agreement
21:03
Speaker 8: is with Venezuela. It's going to be a tremendous bonanza
21:06
Speaker 8: for the U.S.
21:07
Speaker 3: Taxpayer.
21:08
Speaker 8: It's going to lower prices, lower inflation and provide security.
21:12
Speaker 6: Yeah.
21:12
Speaker 1: And I saw that the White House is going to
21:14
Speaker 1: be meeting with oil refiners. I think it's tomorrow, which
21:17
Speaker 1: will be really interesting, because if we get the refineries
21:20
Speaker 1: up and running to the capacity to be at this
21:21
Speaker 1: Venezuelan oil that's coming, we're able to actually refine it
21:25
Speaker 1: because there's some complicated oil issues, basically. We can only
21:28
Speaker 1: refine certain types of oil. Other oil has to be
21:31
Speaker 1: sent to other places, and we need certain oil to refine.
21:33
Speaker 1: So if we can refine all of this great Venezuelan oil,
21:36
Speaker 1: that's going to take a lot of our reliance on
21:38
Speaker 1: foreign countries down to almost nothing. It already is because
21:41
Speaker 1: we produce enough of our own oil. That being said,
21:43
Speaker 1: this Venezuela deal also does something really interesting for the
21:48
Speaker 1: position of the United States. And that also squeezes China,
21:51
Speaker 1: because now we're making this deal with Venezuela. We're keeping
21:54
Speaker 1: that oil from going to China and we're taking it
21:56
Speaker 1: for ourselves. That's going to really squeeze China here, too, right?
21:59
Speaker 3: Well, absolutely.
22:01
Speaker 8: One thing, while China is an enormous economic power, it
22:04
Speaker 8: has over a billion people and it really rivals the
22:07
Speaker 8: United States. politically and economically today, the one thing that
22:11
Speaker 8: the United States surely has an advantage over is that
22:14
Speaker 8: it's an energy rich nation, while China is an energy
22:18
Speaker 8: scarce nation. And that's ultimately why China has been so
22:24
Speaker 8: invested in Iran to the tune of over $ 400 billion,
22:27
Speaker 8: because over 40% of their natural gas and oil comes
22:32
Speaker 8: from Iran. Previously, China had a foothold in Venezuela under
22:36
Speaker 8: Maduro and Chavez before, so while they were trying to
22:40
Speaker 8: exploit the various resources to ship off to China, the
22:44
Speaker 8: United States prevented that while going after Iran, going after Venezuela,
22:49
Speaker 8: and it's going to force China now to stop its
22:52
Speaker 8: own belligerent behavior, its own support for countries like Iran
22:56
Speaker 8: and its own meddling in the Western hemisphere. That's ultimately
23:00
Speaker 8: what this is about, is about going after China head on.
23:03
Speaker 8: And that's really what the Trump administration's policies have been
23:06
Speaker 8: in Venezuela and Iran.
23:08
Speaker 1: And that's the whole game right there. It said a lot.
23:10
Speaker 1: Everyone's complaining, oh, why are we doing anything about China?
23:13
Speaker 1: China is doing all these things. We are doing something
23:15
Speaker 1: about China. But every time we control the energy that
23:18
Speaker 1: goes to China, it's a domino. Each one is a domino.
23:21
Speaker 1: Cuba's next. They've already said it. When you take up Venezuela,
23:24
Speaker 1: then we get control over Iran. We make deals with
23:26
Speaker 1: all the countries around Iran so that we were controlling
23:29
Speaker 1: Iranian oil as well. Then you take out Cuba. When
23:32
Speaker 1: I say take out, make them more friendly to the
23:34
Speaker 1: United States. And you've taken away all of China's influence
23:37
Speaker 1: over us, which has just been building over the years.
23:40
Speaker 1: And under Joe Biden, it looked like China was going
23:42
Speaker 1: to form their own alliance that really would have squeezed
23:45
Speaker 1: the United States in the way the Don Roe doctrine
23:48
Speaker 1: is now squeezing China. This is the best possible outcome.
23:51
Speaker 1: And I really wish, George, that people would take a
23:53
Speaker 1: step back and go, oh, wait a second, this is
23:55
Speaker 1: actually really good for us. This is more than just
23:57
Speaker 1: President Trump not keeping a promise. This is a geopolitical
24:00
Speaker 1: realignment that keeps America safe. George Papadopoulos, always a pleasure
24:04
Speaker 1: having you on, my friend.
24:05
Speaker 8: Appreciate it, David.
24:06
Speaker 9: Thank you.
24:06
Speaker 3: Thank you.
24:07
Speaker 1: Coming up, they can't read a stop sign or speak
24:11
Speaker 1: a word of English, but under Joe Biden, they got
24:13
Speaker 1: licenses to drive 80,000 pound trucks down the highway. Tonight,
24:18
Speaker 1: the crackdown and the 22 states suing to stop it.
24:23

26:11
Speaker 1: This afternoon in Detroit, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy stepped up
26:15
Speaker 1: to a podium and made one of the most consequential
26:18
Speaker 1: safety announcements of this entire administration. He says, effective immediately,
26:22
Speaker 1: the federal government is shutting down the truck-driving schools that
26:26
Speaker 1: have been handing out commercial licenses to dangerous, unqualified, illegal aliens,
26:30
Speaker 1: putting them behind the wheel of 80,000-pound big rigs on
26:35
Speaker 1: the same highways your family drives every single day. Here's
26:39
Speaker 1: the secretary.
26:40
Speaker 10: An emergency executive shutdown of 110 driving schools. We have
26:46
Speaker 10: schools that know the rule and still pass people through
26:49
Speaker 10: their school who can't speak the language. And so there's
26:52
Speaker 10: 110 of them through a data analysis that are the
26:55
Speaker 10: greatest offenders. As of today, those schools are shut down.
26:58
Speaker 1: 110 of the worst offending schools gone. And as of today,
27:02
Speaker 1: 160 more shut down. On top of that, 270 schools
27:07
Speaker 1: in all and nearly 3,000 more just put on notice.
27:10
Speaker 1: Meet the federal safety standards in 30 days or lose
27:13
Speaker 1: your accreditation too. These were schools that, in Duffy's own words,
27:18
Speaker 1: knew the rules and passed the students through anyway. Students
27:21
Speaker 1: who couldn't read an American road sign or speak a
27:23
Speaker 1: word of English. How did we get here? Because under
27:26
Speaker 1: Joe Biden, nearly 3 million people were waived in this country, paroled,
27:31
Speaker 1: and a whole lot of them went straight to driving schools,
27:34
Speaker 1: which were only too happy to take their money and
27:36
Speaker 1: rubber stamp them right onto the roads. They walked out
27:39
Speaker 1: with these commercial licenses. Some of those licenses, and I'm
27:42
Speaker 1: not making this up, literally read, no name given in
27:45
Speaker 1: the space for the driver's name. Homeland Security Secretary Mark
27:49
Speaker 1: Wayne Mullen, who stood behind Duffy today, put the cost
27:52
Speaker 1: of it in the plainest possible terms. says these drivers,
27:55
Speaker 1: he said, have already killed hundreds of Americans and injured
27:59
Speaker 1: thousands more. And those aren't statistics. Standing in that room
28:02
Speaker 1: in Detroit today was a little girl named Delilah Coleman.
28:05
Speaker 1: Two years ago, when she was five years old, the
28:08
Speaker 1: car she was riding in, crushed by an 18-wheeler, driven
28:11
Speaker 1: by an illegal migrant from India, a man who crossed
28:15
Speaker 1: our southern border in 2022 and was caught and released
28:19
Speaker 1: by the Biden administration. Delilah spent three weeks in a coma,
28:23
Speaker 1: She's still being treated this day for traumatic brain injury.
28:27
Speaker 1: That is the real price of this. So you would
28:30
Speaker 1: think every elected official in this country would be racing
28:32
Speaker 1: to fix it, right? Well, if you thought that, you'd
28:35
Speaker 1: be wrong, because right now, 22 Democrat-run states are in
28:39
Speaker 1: federal court suing the administration not to help but to
28:43
Speaker 1: stop it. They're fighting to block the Transportation Department from
28:47
Speaker 1: getting the license records it needs to find these dangerous
28:51
Speaker 1: drivers and pull them off the road. 22 states are
28:54
Speaker 1: going to court to protect the anonymity of illegal aliens
28:57
Speaker 1: driving semi-trucks past your children's school bus. to dig into
29:01
Speaker 1: what this action really means and the fight the Democrats
29:04
Speaker 1: have decided to pick up. Let's bring in my next
29:06
Speaker 1: guest here with reaction is Jake Collins, Lieutenant Governor of Florida.
29:09
Speaker 1: You might remember him. He went to California to arrest
29:13
Speaker 1: and bring to justice in Florida an illegal alien driver
29:16
Speaker 1: that killed several Floridians on a highway last year. Lieutenant Governor,
29:21
Speaker 1: thank you for being back on David Pollak Prime Time.
29:24
Speaker 1: What a crazy story. How could Democrats block this? And
29:29
Speaker 1: thank God for Secretary Duffy for doing the right thing
29:31
Speaker 1: and getting driver's license out of these guys' hands, right?
29:34
Speaker 11: You know, David, we're in bizarro world, right, when we're
29:37
Speaker 11: talking about this.
29:38
Speaker 3: It's the United States of America.
29:40
Speaker 11: Last I checked, my job as an elected official is
29:43
Speaker 11: to serve Floridians and the American people, right?
29:47
Speaker 3: Make our lives better.
29:48
Speaker 11: Why on earth would you want to have illegals on
29:51
Speaker 11: the road who can't read the signs, who don't understand
29:54
Speaker 11: the rules, and are putting American and Floridian lives at risk?
29:57
Speaker 3: Brother, it's just crazy. You know, what's next?
30:01
Speaker 11: Is the left going to get mad because we don't
30:03
Speaker 11: want illegals to vote in this country?
30:04
Speaker 3: I mean, like, oh, yeah, that's right. It's their voter base.
30:08
Speaker 3: That's why we do this.
30:09
Speaker 1: It's so crazy. And look, and I talked about Delilah
30:12
Speaker 1: in the script, but in Florida, we had several Floridians
30:17
Speaker 1: killed when one of these illegal aliens driving a tractor
30:19
Speaker 1: trailer truck with a CDL from California, one of the states,
30:23
Speaker 1: I'm sure, suing to keep this information private. And, you know,
30:28
Speaker 1: this has real consequences to people. Even Ed Martin was
30:32
Speaker 1: rear-ended by an illegal alien. When you give illegal aliens
30:34
Speaker 1: driver's licenses, you're giving them a license to go on
30:37
Speaker 1: the road and be not accountable for all the damage done.
30:41
Speaker 1: You know, you went to California, you plucked this guy out,
30:43
Speaker 1: you brought him to Florida to face justice, and the
30:45
Speaker 1: justice system's one thing, but how can states protect themselves
30:49
Speaker 1: from these states that are allowing these illegal aliens who
30:53
Speaker 1: can't speak English to get driver's licenses? and then kill
30:55
Speaker 1: people in their states. What can we do?
30:57
Speaker 3: Well, look, first off, you got to lead from the front.
31:00
Speaker 3: I got on the ground.
31:01
Speaker 11: We went to California, to your point, and we brought
31:03
Speaker 11: this guy home to face justice. If you do the crime,
31:07
Speaker 11: you got to face the consequences. And we did just
31:09
Speaker 11: that in Florida, first off.
31:10
Speaker 3: Then you got to have legislation that changes the game here,
31:13
Speaker 3: holds people accountable. You got to have.
31:15
Speaker 11: to follow through and actually put the rubber to the road,
31:18
Speaker 11: so to speak, in this case. But, you know, more
31:21
Speaker 11: often than not, it's following through with the on-the-ground action
31:25
Speaker 11: and reminding people that we will always prioritize the safety
31:28
Speaker 11: of our people on our roads and our highways.
31:31
Speaker 3: We have to do that.
31:33
Speaker 11: There is no way a family should be out there
31:36
Speaker 11: at risk, worried because someone can't read the road signs,
31:39
Speaker 11: who doesn't understand how to drive their truck, got a...
31:43
Speaker 11: insert name here, driver's license, you have a CDL and
31:46
Speaker 11: drive a big rig. That should never happen.
31:49
Speaker 3: But you know what? This really goes down to elections.
31:52
Speaker 11: We have to elect people who actually care about the
31:55
Speaker 11: American people, who aren't trying to replace them with illegal immigrants,
31:58
Speaker 11: and people who actually want to see America thrive into
32:01
Speaker 11: the next generation. That's why I would tell you, vote Republican,
32:04
Speaker 11: make a difference this upcoming November.
32:07
Speaker 1: It's such an important thing that you just said, because
32:09
Speaker 1: there's a lot of reasons, and the media is only covering...
32:12
Speaker 1: I talk about this a lot on the show, the
32:13
Speaker 1: sort of disappointment or disagreement on the right side, saying, oh, look,
32:18
Speaker 1: there's all this, you know, people in MAGA are not happy,
32:21
Speaker 1: all these things. It's garbage. On the left, there's a
32:23
Speaker 1: lot of division, too. The media just doesn't cover it.
32:26
Speaker 1: But you're exactly right. When you talk about issues that
32:27
Speaker 1: people might disagree on, whether it be Iran or some
32:30
Speaker 1: of these other things that have been used to drive
32:32
Speaker 1: a wedge between MAGA and the coalition, what you just
32:35
Speaker 1: said makes all the sense in the world. THIS IS
32:39
Speaker 1: THE FUNDAMENTAL POLICY DIFFERENCE WE'RE DEALING WITH. WHEN YOU GO
32:42
Speaker 1: TO VOTE IN NOVEMBER AND IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE
32:44
Speaker 1: TWO CHOICES, WHEN YOU'RE GOING TO VOTE REPUBLICAN OR YOU'RE
32:46
Speaker 1: GOING TO VOTE DEMOCRAT, YOU HAVE TO KNOW AND BELIEVE
32:49
Speaker 1: THAT ON THE DEMOCRAT SIDE, THIS IS THE THINKING OF
32:52
Speaker 1: THESE PEOPLE. THIS IS HOW THEY THINK. THEY PRIORITIZE ILLEGAL ALIENS,
32:55
Speaker 1: PROTECT THEM WHO HAVE DRIVER'S LICENSES AND CAN'T SPEAK ENGLISH.
32:58
Speaker 1: WHEN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS TRYING TO SAVE AMERICAN LIVES,
33:01
Speaker 1: THEY WILL GO OUT OF THEIR WAY TO PROTECT ILLEGAL
33:03
Speaker 1: ALIENS OVER THE LIVES OF of American citizens. That's the
33:07
Speaker 1: choice people make in November. It couldn't be clearer. Now, Florida,
33:10
Speaker 1: we're lucky to be a red state. And so I
33:12
Speaker 1: think a lot of Floridians understand what happens when you
33:16
Speaker 1: elect Democrats. They fled from places like California. But, you know,
33:19
Speaker 1: what's your message to those people when they already said
33:21
Speaker 1: it in the vote to member? But what is really
33:23
Speaker 1: at stake when they sit down in that voters booth
33:26
Speaker 1: and really consider the two sides?
33:28
Speaker 3: Well, it's the future of our nation. You know, Reagan
33:30
Speaker 3: put it very succinctly.
33:31
Speaker 11: You're never more than one generation away from the loss
33:36
Speaker 11: of freedom and liberty, right? Just to paraphrase this, guys,
33:39
Speaker 11: we're on the tipping point. Look around the world.
33:41
Speaker 3: War is everywhere. The enemy, they're not at the gates.
33:44
Speaker 3: They're within our walls.
33:46
Speaker 11: We have the DSA openly pushing socialist and communist candidates.
33:49
Speaker 11: We have radical Islam risking the sanctity and safety of
33:53
Speaker 11: American lives every single day. And we have moments like this.
33:58
Speaker 11: where we can argue amongst ourselves to win arguments about
34:03
Speaker 11: small minutia, or we can come together and remind the
34:06
Speaker 11: American people that we live in the greatest nation in
34:08
Speaker 11: the history of this planet. And if you want to
34:10
Speaker 11: live on our ideas, our ideals, our principles, Well, we've
34:14
Speaker 11: got to come together. We've got to vote Republican. We've
34:16
Speaker 11: got to stand up and fight for the people. But
34:18
Speaker 11: here's the warning shot to Republicans. Y'all, we better show up,
34:21
Speaker 11: get in the communities, get on the ground, and lead
34:23
Speaker 11: from the front. It's not just talking. It's actually walking,
34:28
Speaker 11: doing the job. You can only talk for so long
34:30
Speaker 11: without results. If you don't put up, then you need
34:33
Speaker 11: to shut up and get out of the way. If
34:34
Speaker 11: we want to win, we've got to put the work in.
34:37
Speaker 11: It's now or never. America matters.
34:40
Speaker 1: And that's why Florida is the greatest state in the nation,
34:42
Speaker 1: because we have a lieutenant governor like you Keep up
34:45
Speaker 1: the good work. Thank you for the fight. And kudos
34:47
Speaker 1: to Sean Duffy today, because going after the places that
34:51
Speaker 1: are qualifying them to have these driver's license is if
34:54
Speaker 1: we can't stop the states like California from giving it
34:56
Speaker 1: to them, at least we could stop them from qualifying.
34:59
Speaker 1: And this administration can do everything it can to save
35:01
Speaker 1: Americans lives, regardless of what these blue states try to do.
35:04
Speaker 1: Lieutenant Governor Jay Collins, thank you so much for being
35:06
Speaker 1: here today. Thank you for your service.
35:07
Speaker 3: David, brother, thank you for having me on. I appreciate you.
35:10
Speaker 3: It's an honor.
35:10
Speaker 1: Thank you. Coming up, Olivia Rodrigo. You know her. She's
35:14
Speaker 1: a pop singer that your kids are probably listening to. Well,
35:17
Speaker 1: she gathered a bunch of teenagers together and talked to
35:20
Speaker 1: them about abortion. She called it the Daisy Chains Music
35:25
Speaker 1: Festival or something and raised $ 20 million for the abortion lobby.
35:31
Speaker 1: Thanks to your children. I have all the details coming
35:33
Speaker 1: up and later. The Lindsey Clancy verdict. Watch. A mother
35:38
Speaker 1: strangled her children and missed it. Three days of deliberations.
35:42
Speaker 1: Twelve jurors. No verdict yet. But you're not going to
35:45
Speaker 1: believe what we saw in the jury today. All of
35:48
Speaker 1: that still to come.

36:33
Speaker 1: Olivia Rodrigo. She has one of the largest audiences of
36:37
Speaker 1: teenage girls on the face of the earth. Tens of
36:40
Speaker 1: millions hang on to her every word. They know all
36:43
Speaker 1: the words to their songs. They sing it with their friends.
36:46
Speaker 1: They follow her on TikTok. This past Saturday, in a
36:50
Speaker 1: field in Irvine, California, she gathered a whole bunch of them,
36:53
Speaker 1: called it a celebration of, quote, women's well-being, and it
36:58
Speaker 1: turned into a $ 20 million fundraiser. for the abortion industry. Seriously.
37:05
Speaker 1: It was called Daisy Chain Fields. Sounds honest enough, right? Flowers, friendship, bracelets,
37:14
Speaker 1: an all-women lineup. And a philanthropy village, that's the actual
37:21
Speaker 1: name they gave it, where teenage fans wandered booth to booth.
37:25
Speaker 1: And one of those booths was even Planned Parenthood. There
37:28
Speaker 1: were chalkboards where the girls were handed chalk and encouraged
37:32
Speaker 1: to write out their politics. The walls, of course, filled
37:37
Speaker 1: up with abortion rights for all. Rodrigo raised tens of
37:43
Speaker 1: millions of dollars, matched by another $ 10 million from Melinda
37:48
Speaker 1: French Gates. That's right, Bill Gates' ex-wife. and announced a
37:52
Speaker 1: $ 10 million donation to 10 organizations. Let's look at who's
37:57
Speaker 1: on that list. Planned Parenthood, the Center for Reproductive Rights,
38:02
Speaker 1: the National Institute for Reproductive Health, the abortion lobby, top
38:08
Speaker 1: to bottom. Now, they'll never call it abortion. No. Why
38:13
Speaker 1: would they say what it is, killing babies? No, no.
38:17
Speaker 1: It's women's health, right? It's women's health. That's what they
38:20
Speaker 1: call it. They call it well-being. They call it reproductive freedom.
38:26
Speaker 1: Anything but the word abortion. But Olivia Rodrigo herself has
38:30
Speaker 1: never been shy about what she actually means. This is
38:32
Speaker 1: her onstage look.
38:34
Speaker 6: I'm devastated and terrified.
38:37
Speaker 8: So many women and so many girls.
38:39
Speaker 6: Are going to die because of this.
38:40
Speaker 1: She was referring to the abortion decision in Dobbs. They
38:44
Speaker 1: were going to die because they couldn't get an abortion?
38:48
Speaker 1: So many women and so many girls are going to die.
38:53
Speaker 1: That's what she tells them. 14-year-old girls who love her music.
38:58
Speaker 1: And she doesn't just preach it. Now she's funding it.
39:00
Speaker 1: Her own charity funnels her tour money to abortion funds.
39:06
Speaker 1: Her concerts have handed out morning after pills to fans.
39:11
Speaker 1: And just this month, she toured a Planned Parenthood clinic
39:15
Speaker 1: and filmed advocacy videos calling to work inside, inspiring. Students
39:21
Speaker 1: for Life showed up to protest her festival and got
39:23
Speaker 1: drowned out by the applause. This Saturday, it wasn't a concert.
39:28
Speaker 1: It was a recruitment drive. The abortion movement has a
39:31
Speaker 1: math problem. Their own supporters keep ending the next generation
39:35
Speaker 1: before it arrives. They figured out that they can't sell
39:39
Speaker 1: the ending of a human life to a teenage girl
39:41
Speaker 1: by calling it what it is, so I guess they're
39:43
Speaker 1: just wrapping it in daisies. They wrap it in a
39:46
Speaker 1: pop star, they worship, and then they slap a label
39:50
Speaker 1: that sounds as harmless as just going to the doctor, healthcare.
39:55
Speaker 1: My next guest is a singer who actually sings music
39:59
Speaker 1: your kids should listen to. She spent her whole career
40:03
Speaker 1: telling the same girls the truth. I'm honored to bring
40:06
Speaker 1: in my good friend Joy Vila. Welcome to the show.
40:09
Speaker 1: What an absolutely insane story. What is your thought?
40:14
Speaker 6: Yeah, this is crazy. This is crazy. Well, first of all,
40:17
Speaker 6: hats off to you for speaking the truth against Hollywood.
40:20
Speaker 6: I escaped two abortion-pushing cults. One is Scientology and one
40:25
Speaker 6: is Hollywood. This is not a secret that major organizations
40:30
Speaker 6: want to push abortion, especially on the youth. So, abortion propaganda,
40:35
Speaker 6: let's just dive into the facts here, because you can't
40:37
Speaker 6: debate this. It causes real harm to vulnerable young women.
40:40
Speaker 6: I have got some actual statistics here that the left
40:42
Speaker 6: loves to throw out. But here's the real truth here.
40:45
Speaker 6: A Coleman meta-analysis found abortion associated with 37 percent greater
40:51
Speaker 6: likelihood of depression. 34 percent greater likelihood of anxiety. And
40:56
Speaker 6: a meta-analysis found 49 percent greater likelihood of depression. Another
41:02
Speaker 6: analysis found 43 greater likelihood of anxiety. A 2025 study
41:07
Speaker 6: found women who had had abortions were more than twice
41:10
Speaker 6: as likely to be hospitalized for a suicide attempt. I mean,
41:14
Speaker 6: this is just half of the facts here. They're more
41:16
Speaker 6: prone to having illnesses of the mental health kind. So
41:20
Speaker 6: if we're looking at Olivia here, who is very influential
41:23
Speaker 6: amongst young girls and is saying, oh, we don't want
41:25
Speaker 6: people to die, you're literally promoting your teenage fan base,
41:29
Speaker 6: your child fan base to get abortions, to kill their children,
41:34
Speaker 6: and then also to harm themselves. The suicide rate is appalling.
41:38
Speaker 6: They're more than twice as likely for substance use hospitalization
41:42
Speaker 6: compared to women who gave birth. This is not a
41:44
Speaker 6: healthy alternative. This is not health care. This is abhorrent.
41:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's so crazy how they use all of
41:52
Speaker 1: these sort of psychological factors to get to your children.
41:56
Speaker 1: I mean, they find a pop star that they respect
41:59
Speaker 1: and they're like, well, let's make her the advocate, right?
42:01
Speaker 1: And then they go out and they say all these
42:03
Speaker 1: things to children. And what do kids do? Especially teenagers,
42:05
Speaker 1: especially middle schoolers, high schoolers, they look around for approval
42:10
Speaker 1: of their peers. A girl's approval of their peers is
42:13
Speaker 1: probably the only thing that motivates them when they're young.
42:16
Speaker 1: I have two young children, I can tell you.
42:17
Speaker 6: Absolutely.
42:17
Speaker 1: From the clothes they wear, the way they style their hair,
42:20
Speaker 1: from the makeup they wear, the music they listen to,
42:23
Speaker 1: they all have to do the same thing because if not,
42:25
Speaker 1: they're ridiculed and they're not allowed to be in these circles,
42:29
Speaker 1: these social groups. And so they feel a lot of
42:32
Speaker 1: pressure to think and believe things. And now they go
42:34
Speaker 1: and have one of the most popular artists right now.
42:37
Speaker 1: It's basically she's as popular as Taylor Swift among this
42:39
Speaker 1: age group. And then she has them putting on these
42:41
Speaker 1: shows that kids want to go to. And what do
42:43
Speaker 1: they do with these shows? They get this stupid chalkboard.
42:45
Speaker 1: And what do you think kids are going to say
42:46
Speaker 1: on the chalkboard? Abortion is murder? No, they're going to
42:49
Speaker 1: go and get all that peer pressure to believe in abortion.
42:52
Speaker 1: And then instead of saying abortion, they dress it up
42:54
Speaker 1: like reproductive rights and women's health care. That's why this
42:57
Speaker 1: is so damaging. Right, Joy?
42:58
Speaker 4: Absolutely.
42:59
Speaker 6: Yes, and these are real consequences that Olivia and her
43:02
Speaker 6: PR team are failing to take into account. Not to
43:05
Speaker 6: mention the fact that abortion takes the life. of an
43:09
Speaker 6: innocent child. I believe that we are created in our
43:13
Speaker 6: mother's womb, like the Bible says, that God created each
43:16
Speaker 6: and every one of us to achieve greatness. And if
43:19
Speaker 6: Olivia is saying, oh, I support women's rights, what about
43:21
Speaker 6: the women dying in the womb? You shouldn't even be
43:24
Speaker 6: talking about this. As a pro-life artist, would I be
43:26
Speaker 6: allowed to perform at that festival? Would I be allowed
43:30
Speaker 6: to hand out pro-life, say, let's go to a pro-life organization?
43:34
Speaker 6: And again, she was passing out Plan B, right? This
43:38
Speaker 6: is contraceptive, emergency contraceptive, which is dangerous. She was passing
43:42
Speaker 6: this out at her tour, Olivia's tour in 2023. First
43:46
Speaker 6: of all, this is not a clinic. There was no
43:48
Speaker 6: medical work done on these girls. There was no signature.
43:52
Speaker 6: These are underage girls. Their parents don't know. So these
43:55
Speaker 6: girls are sexually active, getting emergency contraception, which they might
43:59
Speaker 6: be allergic to. They might have a reaction to. They
44:02
Speaker 6: don't need their parents' signatures to know about. This is... horrible.
44:05
Speaker 6: Even if you're not on the side of the right
44:07
Speaker 6: to life, which most of the viewers are, you have
44:10
Speaker 6: to look at the consequences. A singer is now encouraging
44:14
Speaker 6: teenage girls to go and get a medical procedure that
44:17
Speaker 6: could kill them or cause them 50 percent more depression
44:20
Speaker 6: and anxiety without the parental consent or any knowledge. This
44:24
Speaker 6: is peer pressure of the worst kind.
44:27
Speaker 1: And I think it is peer pressure of the worst kind.
44:29
Speaker 1: And it's not just abortion. I think this is part
44:31
Speaker 1: of a much larger situation where, and it's really the communism,
44:36
Speaker 1: the spread of communism. And people go, oh, Dave, how
44:38
Speaker 1: is abortion communist? Well, the idea here is simple. You're
44:42
Speaker 1: taking all of the rights and all of the things
44:44
Speaker 1: given to you by God, and you're turning all of
44:45
Speaker 1: those rights over to the state. The state, one, do
44:48
Speaker 1: we have to guarantee your ability to have an abortion?
44:50
Speaker 1: It's such an evil and dark way to get to
44:53
Speaker 1: the minds of young people, to separate them from their parents,
44:56
Speaker 1: to separate them from church, separate them from anybody else
44:58
Speaker 1: but the state. But putting that aside for a second,
45:00
Speaker 1: you said something so interesting when you talk about whether
45:03
Speaker 1: or not they would allow you to perform at this concert.
45:05
Speaker 1: And you talked about Hollywood. BECAUSE THAT IS THE ISSUE. NASHVILLE, HOLLYWOOD,
45:11
Speaker 1: ALL OF THESE PLACES THAT PRODUCE THE MUSIC, PRODUCE THE FILMS,
45:14
Speaker 1: PRODUCE THE ENTERTAINMENT THAT YOUR KIDS ARE CONSUMING, WELL, THEY
45:18
Speaker 1: DON'T TOLERATE ANY OTHER OPINION OTHER THAN THIS OPINION. IF
45:22
Speaker 1: YOU'RE ANTI-ABORTION, YOU WON'T GET TO MAKE A RECORD. YOU'RE
45:25
Speaker 1: NOT GOING TO BE INVITED TO THESE SHOWS. IF YOU'RE ANTI-ABORTION,
45:27
Speaker 1: YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE CASTED IN THE NEXT MOVIE.
45:29
Speaker 1: THAT'S HOW SICK AND DERANGED THESE PEOPLE ARE. SO WE
45:32
Speaker 1: REALLY NEED, HONESTLY, is to counter the mainstream music industry,
45:39
Speaker 1: the mainstream film industry, with wholesome, more American entertainment. That's
45:44
Speaker 1: the only thing I can think of. How are we
45:46
Speaker 1: going to do that, Joy?
45:47
Speaker 6: That's the only thing. Well, I'm working on a new
45:49
Speaker 6: album right now. I'm glad you asked, because I'm working
45:52
Speaker 6: on a Christ-centered, all-American album. This is the kind of
45:55
Speaker 6: music I make, right? It's going to lift up God.
45:58
Speaker 6: It's going to lift up my morals and my values.
46:00
Speaker 6: I am a born-again, saved Christian. I left a cult.
46:02
Speaker 6: I'm currently working on a book on how to spot
46:04
Speaker 6: cults Because a lot of Christians, a lot of believers
46:07
Speaker 6: don't know that there are secret cults out there. Hollywood
46:09
Speaker 6: is very much a cult. Olivia is very much following
46:12
Speaker 6: what her PR is telling her. She's very much controlled
46:15
Speaker 6: by the powers that be. And she's a young girl.
46:17
Speaker 6: She started in Disney, so she was groomed. So these
46:20
Speaker 6: forces out there, this is real. This is not, you know,
46:23
Speaker 6: now that we have the release of the Epstein files
46:25
Speaker 6: and we're looking at this, this isn't something that's made up.
46:28
Speaker 6: This is mainstream, that they are controlling your children. They
46:31
Speaker 6: want to control your children. They want to control you.
46:33
Speaker 6: So my music is going to uncontrol people, let people
46:37
Speaker 6: think for themselves. It always is. It's on Spotify. But
46:40
Speaker 6: my new album is going to be really good. I'm
46:42
Speaker 6: tentatively calling it God Rock, and it will be out
46:45
Speaker 6: this Christmas.
46:46
Speaker 1: Well, Joy, I'm not a big fan of certain vaccines,
46:50
Speaker 1: but if there's a vaccine for whatever indoctrination the left
46:53
Speaker 1: is doing for our children, I believe your music is
46:56
Speaker 1: that vaccine. And I'm 100 percent supportive of that one.
46:59
Speaker 1: And it's boosters. Joy Vila, thank you so much for
47:02
Speaker 1: being here as always. You're a blessing. I can't wait
47:04
Speaker 1: to see your album come out.
47:06
Speaker 2: It's a pleasure.
47:08
Speaker 1: Still ahead, the Lindsay Clancy verdict. Watch. She strangles her
47:13
Speaker 1: three children and admits it. And after three days of
47:16
Speaker 1: jury deliberations, we still don't have a verdict. I'm going
47:20
Speaker 1: to break down what that could mean. Is it more
47:22
Speaker 1: likely she's guilty or innocent? And a crazy story coming
47:26
Speaker 1: out of the jury today. All that's coming up. Stick around.
47:38

49:13
Speaker 1: All eyes in America are watching the jury in the
49:17
Speaker 1: Lindsay Clancy trial. You know, the mother from Massachusetts. Can
49:22
Speaker 1: we even call her a mother? Strangled her three young
49:25
Speaker 1: children as of this afternoon. The jury is in its
49:29
Speaker 1: third day of deliberations at Plymouth Superior Court. There's still
49:34
Speaker 1: no verdict. She's admitted to killing her kids. What's taking
49:38
Speaker 1: them so long? We're watching that verdict, and for those
49:41
Speaker 1: just catching up, in January of 23, in her home
49:44
Speaker 1: in Duxbury, Massachusetts, Lindsay, a 36-year-old labor and delivery nurse,
49:50
Speaker 1: used exercise bands to strangle her three children. Cora was five,
49:55
Speaker 1: Dawson was three, Callan was eight months old. Then she
49:59
Speaker 1: tried to take her own life, jumping from a second-story window.
50:03
Speaker 1: She survived. She's paralyzed now from the waist down. Clancy
50:07
Speaker 1: has never denied that she killed her children. What her
50:11
Speaker 1: lawyers argue is that she shouldn't be held criminally responsible
50:15
Speaker 1: for killing her children because she was in the grip
50:18
Speaker 1: of postpartum psychosis, driven by a voice in her head and,
50:22
Speaker 1: in their words, destroyed by more than a dozen psychiatric
50:25
Speaker 1: medications her doctors had her on. Now, the prosecution, of course,
50:30
Speaker 1: tells a different story. So does common sense, by the way,
50:33
Speaker 1: that this was deliberate, premeditated, and cruel, that she wanted
50:37
Speaker 1: to die and decided to take her three children with her.
50:41
Speaker 1: I'm not even sure she actually wanted to die. The
50:44
Speaker 1: 12 jurors, nine women and three men now have deliberated
50:47
Speaker 1: for about two and a half days. And we've been
50:49
Speaker 1: given a couple of small windows into what they may
50:53
Speaker 1: be weighing. At one point, they asked the judge to
50:55
Speaker 1: see two bags of Clancy's prescription pill bottles and the
50:59
Speaker 1: knife she used on herself that night, a sign that
51:02
Speaker 1: the medication and what's at the very heart of the
51:05
Speaker 1: defense is is heavy on their minds. Whenever they decide,
51:08
Speaker 1: they really have a few choices in front of them, five, basically.
51:12
Speaker 1: Is she not guilty? Is she not responsible by reason
51:15
Speaker 1: of insanity, which sends her to a psychiatric hospital? Or
51:18
Speaker 1: is she guilty of first-degree murder, second-degree murder, or even manslaughter?
51:23
Speaker 1: First-degree murder means life in prison with no chance of parole.
51:28
Speaker 1: Then there's one more dimension of this trial that has
51:30
Speaker 1: raised real and legitimate questions. From the beginning, Lindsay Clancy
51:34
Speaker 1: has drawn a devoted following, hundreds of supporters. I don't
51:38
Speaker 1: understand how a murderer can have supporters, but whatever. Most
51:42
Speaker 1: of them happen to be women, and they've gathered outside
51:44
Speaker 1: that courthouse we've covered on this show, dressed head-to-toe in pink.
51:48
Speaker 1: Pink has become the color of solidarity with Clancy, worn
51:52
Speaker 1: at rallies and with names like Stand in Peace with Lindsay. Now,
51:57
Speaker 1: this jury, and this is an important point, this jury,
52:00
Speaker 1: they're not sequestered. They go home every single night. In
52:04
Speaker 1: a country where that pink movement and this case are
52:08
Speaker 1: absolutely everywhere. There are even reports today of pink appearing
52:14
Speaker 1: in the jury box itself, that several jurors might have
52:18
Speaker 1: been wearing pink. Now, it could just be coincidence. It
52:22
Speaker 1: remains unconfirmed. But juries are, of course, instructed to weigh
52:25
Speaker 1: only the evidence. But, as a Fordham law professor cautioned about,
52:30
Speaker 1: in this very case, jurors are human, and defendants surrounded
52:34
Speaker 1: by a wall of pink well-wishers may just find a
52:36
Speaker 1: more sympathetic ear. Three children are dead. And the question
52:41
Speaker 1: of whether anyone answers for that now sits with 12
52:44
Speaker 1: people who have gone home to their lives, to the news,
52:48
Speaker 1: every single night in the middle of all of it.
52:51
Speaker 1: So we wait. Verdict can come tomorrow morning. It can
52:54
Speaker 1: come next week. And when it comes, we're going to
52:57
Speaker 1: be covering it right here. You better believe we will.
53:00
Speaker 1: But whatever those 12 jurors decide, it can't change the
53:03
Speaker 1: one fact at the center of this entire case. The
53:07
Speaker 1: fact that no verdict will ever undo that Cora and
53:11
Speaker 1: Dawson and Callen, well, they're gone. And there are hundreds
53:16
Speaker 1: of women wearing pink, arguing that somehow that's not Lindsay's fault,
53:21
Speaker 1: even though she admitted it. We'll see what the jury decides.
53:25
Speaker 1: And again, we'll be watching this very closely until we
53:28
Speaker 1: get that decision. That's our show for tonight. Make sure
53:31
Speaker 1: you join us tomorrow. We got the Cardone Zone with
53:34
Speaker 1: Grant Cardone. Also, we're going to be breaking down a
53:36
Speaker 1: little bit more of what the latest in the deliberation
53:39
Speaker 1: with the Clancy trial. Make sure you stay in touch
