Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Straight ahead on Real America tonight as the holiday travel
- 0:03Speaker 1: season fast approaches the Trump administration trying to modernize our
- 0:07Speaker 1: airports and navigation system. About time. Now looking for a
- 0:11Speaker 1: $ 30 billion upgrade from Congress. We'll have a retired commercial
- 0:15Speaker 1: pilot share his reaction to the news tonight. Plus, speaking
- 0:18Speaker 1: to the president, he's making American manufacturing great again. Announcing
- 0:23Speaker 1: new plans for the largest steel mill to open up
- 0:27Speaker 1: in America since the 60s in Iowa. We'll get reaction
- 0:30Speaker 1: from an Iowa lawmaker about this steel plant. And ex-special
- 0:34Speaker 1: counsel Jack Smith in the hot seat, and I'm loving it,
- 0:37Speaker 1: getting grilled by the Senate Judiciary Committee today for his
- 0:40Speaker 1: weaponization of the DOJ under Biden. I'm Dan Ball, and
- 0:45Speaker 1: Real America starts right now.
- 0:55Speaker 2: Promises that weren't made is not this administration. We are
- 0:58Speaker 2: making promises and we are keeping our promises to the
- 1:02Speaker 2: American people delivering on a brand new air traffic control system.
- 1:07Speaker 1: Thank you, Secretary Duffy, and good Tuesday evening to you folks.
- 1:10Speaker 1: American airports, and you know this if you travel, are
- 1:12Speaker 1: long overdue for a big investment. And now, following decades
- 1:18Speaker 1: of broken promises from past politicians on both sides of
- 1:21Speaker 1: the aisle.
- 1:23Speaker 1: It's about time to modernize. And not just the airports themselves,
- 1:27Speaker 1: but the infrastructure. And we've known that. We're talking the runways,
- 1:31Speaker 1: the air traffic control systems. Can we get rid of
- 1:34Speaker 1: analog and updated 2026? I mean, if you travel, you know,
- 1:39Speaker 1: especially over the last several years, way more than 10, 20,
- 1:42Speaker 1: 30 years ago, more canceled flights, more staff shortages, more
- 1:46Speaker 1: near crashes, and yes, more crashes. Now the Trump administration
- 1:51Speaker 1: trying to make things better. in the friendly skies, bringing
- 1:55Speaker 1: us into this new modernization of air travel, and I
- 1:58Speaker 1: hope so. As we speak, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, FAA
- 2:02Speaker 1: Administrator Brian Bedford, and a coalition of nearly 60 aviation
- 2:06Speaker 1: organizations are now urging Congress to consider new legislation that
- 2:10Speaker 1: will set aside $ 30 billion to modernize. The bill, known
- 2:15Speaker 1: as the Modern Skies Act, which was officially introduced by
- 2:18Speaker 1: Republican Senator Eric Schmidt of Missouri, then proposed funding would
- 2:22Speaker 1: be evenly divided into three groups of $ 10 billion each.
- 2:27Speaker 1: The first, this would overhaul the air traffic control systems.
- 2:31Speaker 4: Thank you.
- 2:32Speaker 1: We need that. The second 10 bill would then modernize
- 2:36Speaker 1: outdated infrastructure like the runways. I'm sure you've landed on
- 2:39Speaker 1: a few and went, what the? And the third would
- 2:42Speaker 1: then establish a pilot grant program for mid-sized airports servicing
- 2:47Speaker 1: 5 to 25 million passengers a year. On top of
- 2:50Speaker 1: it all, the goal is to reduce delays, prevent cancellations,
- 2:56Speaker 1: and hopefully stop any crashes or those close calls. I mean,
- 3:00Speaker 1: how many close calls have we heard about because there's
- 3:03Speaker 1: not enough air traffic controllers or the system had a
- 3:05Speaker 1: bug or something? We got to fix it. Some of
- 3:08Speaker 1: the most prominent aviation groups in the country are fully
- 3:11Speaker 1: behind this bill. And based on what we've seen, the
- 3:14Speaker 1: support is warranted. We need it. Take the LaGuardia crash.
- 3:19Speaker 1: Remember that one? Back in March, two pilots died when
- 3:23Speaker 1: a jazz aviation flight operated on behalf of Air Canada
- 3:27Speaker 1: crashed into a Port Authority fire truck on the runway.
- 3:31Speaker 1: The plane was arriving from Montreal. It was carrying 72 passengers,
- 3:35Speaker 1: two crew members, 39 people had to be taken to
- 3:37Speaker 1: the hospital It also happened after two air traffic control workers,
- 3:42Speaker 1: you know, the folks that are really stressed out, left
- 3:45Speaker 1: work early, leaving one guy to do a bunch of runways.
- 3:47Speaker 5: Not good.
- 3:48Speaker 1: Now the FAA is moving to fire them, but that
- 3:51Speaker 1: measure could make the underlying issue even worse because we
- 3:54Speaker 1: have a shortage. Duh. Then another one. Last April, air
- 3:59Speaker 1: traffic controllers in Philadelphia. This one could have went sideways.
- 4:03Speaker 1: Listen to the audio.
- 4:06Speaker 5: No, you do not have a Bravo clearance.
- 4:07Speaker 1: We lost our radar and it's not working correctly.
- 4:10Speaker 6: Radar service terminated.
- 4:12Speaker 7: If you want a Bravo clearance, you can just call
- 4:14Speaker 7: the towers when.
- 4:15Speaker 1: You get closer. Whoa. How do you lose radar in
- 4:17Speaker 1: this day and age? Now, those workers were directing flights
- 4:20Speaker 1: to Newark International Airport, which is one of the busiest
- 4:22Speaker 1: airports in the whole country. And you heard them. They
- 4:25Speaker 1: lost radar and communications for about 90 seconds. That can
- 4:29Speaker 1: be deadly. Turns out a fried piece of copper wire
- 4:33Speaker 1: sparked the blackout, then leading to tons of cancellations and delays.
- 4:37Speaker 1: Several controllers were so shaken by the incident, some of
- 4:40Speaker 1: them walked off the job. And again, we already have
- 4:43Speaker 1: a shortage. That's why these improvements cannot come fast enough.
- 4:48Speaker 1: The busiest travel season of the year, it is coming up,
- 4:51Speaker 1: and we are going to face problems if we don't
- 4:53Speaker 1: get these upgrades. In fact, thousands of flights across the
- 4:56Speaker 1: Northeast were canceled on Monday due to mechanical issues in
- 5:00Speaker 1: Philadelphia and Jersey, which makes sense because I'm told they
- 5:04Speaker 1: run on decades old computers and the parts are really old.
- 5:11Speaker 1: Somebody made a joke. I don't know if that's true.
- 5:12Speaker 1: They're buying parts on eBay. I got to hop on
- 5:16Speaker 1: a flight in a couple of weeks. Now I'm scared.
- 5:18Speaker 1: That brings us back to where we started. Secretary Duffy,
- 5:21Speaker 1: he made the case for this funding yesterday. And a
- 5:24Speaker 1: lot of folks are behind it. I got to say,
- 5:26Speaker 1: with all the traveling I do, I'm one of them.
- 5:30Speaker 2: This is probably the most bipartisan effort in Washington, D.C.
- 5:35Speaker 2: This town fights about everything. There's nothing that Washington agrees on.
- 5:39Speaker 2: But they do agree on aviation. They do agree that
- 5:42Speaker 2: they want to deliver a better experience for the American people.
- 5:45Speaker 1: Joining us now to weigh in on this huge investment
- 5:48Speaker 1: in air travel by the Trump administration, he's a retired
- 5:51Speaker 1: Marine Corps combat fighter pilot and a commercial Airline pilot
- 5:55Speaker 1: Tom Ulterich, back on Real America. Hey, Cap, your first
- 5:59Speaker 1: gut reaction when you saw the big press conference yesterday,
- 6:02Speaker 1: and they said, finally, we're going to upgrade the control systems,
- 6:06Speaker 1: hopefully some more money for these air traffic controllers who
- 6:09Speaker 1: are stressed out, some more staff, fix the runways, modernize
- 6:14Speaker 1: some of the crummy old airports. What did you think?
- 6:18Speaker 8: That's great to be here, Dan. Great to see you.
- 6:19Speaker 8: Thanks for having me. And eBay is a great platform,
- 6:21Speaker 8: so I don't think you need to dig on those guys.
- 6:24Speaker 1: Yeah, I love buying my plane parts or air traffic
- 6:25Speaker 1: control radar parts on eBay. Anyway, go ahead.
- 6:27Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 6:28Speaker 8: So I'm behind that all the way. And I think
- 6:30Speaker 8: most air crew in the system and I'm retired by now.
- 6:34Speaker 8: So yes, modernization technology, it's all very important. It's got
- 6:40Speaker 8: to be plumbed in there and there has to be
- 6:42Speaker 8: a steady pipeline. So the investments into commercial aviation, the aerospace,
- 6:46Speaker 8: the technology and hardening it to protect it from hacks
- 6:50Speaker 8: and malicious.
- 6:52Speaker 4: Activities is very important.
- 6:54Speaker 8: But there's also the human element involved in it as well,
- 6:57Speaker 8: because we're still using humans to load these airplanes, to
- 7:01Speaker 8: fly these airplanes, to crew these airplanes.
- 7:03Speaker 1: Talk to me about the old system. I heard the
- 7:06Speaker 1: word analog. Right. We're not even on like a fully
- 7:09Speaker 1: digital system at all. Airports and stuff. We're still using
- 7:11Speaker 1: old school analog, old school, regular old radar. And I
- 7:15Speaker 1: know we have a shortage of air traffic controllers. So
- 7:18Speaker 1: you put those two together. I mean, I don't know
- 7:20Speaker 1: how many in the last four or five years I've
- 7:22Speaker 1: had to report on these near misses. Right. They're 150 apart.
- 7:25Speaker 1: They're 200 apart. And you're hearing the radio traffic like
- 7:29Speaker 1: I don't recall hearing all that 20, 30 years ago.
- 7:33Speaker 4: Right.
- 7:34Speaker 8: There is a human factor involved in this with Dan.
- 7:36Speaker 8: Not only the technology, we can't have a full fallback
- 7:38Speaker 8: on technology. You need the best and brightest out there.
- 7:41Speaker 8: We need a merit-based system, both on the ground and
- 7:44Speaker 8: in the air. You need your best and brightest doing
- 7:46Speaker 8: this because we're defying the laws of physics. We're taking
- 7:49Speaker 8: metal objects and we're moving them through the air with
- 7:51Speaker 8: 200 or 300 people on them. So there's no room
- 7:53Speaker 8: for error at all. So you need your best and brightest.
- 7:56Speaker 8: I think there needs to be investments in human factors,
- 7:59Speaker 8: not just technology. Technology is important. But until we have
- 8:02Speaker 8: drones flying these things, the pilots need and the air
- 8:05Speaker 8: crew need certain things to support them as well. For example,
- 8:08Speaker 8: why are we putting 9, 10, 12 billion into failed
- 8:12Speaker 8: mRNA technology? Why don't they put stuff into aviation physiology
- 8:16Speaker 8: to help pilots be their best? We have the highest
- 8:18Speaker 8: rates of disability in the industry right now post-pandemic because
- 8:21Speaker 8: of the failures of the COVID response. On top of it,
- 8:26Speaker 8: we have sky-high disability rates. in the workplace everywhere. So
- 8:30Speaker 8: we're leaving out the human element of this. Yes, we
- 8:34Speaker 8: need the technology, but also we're dealing with human beings.
- 8:37Speaker 8: So we have to train them, equip them, and prepare them.
- 8:40Speaker 8: Merit-based is the best way to go. Get rid of
- 8:42Speaker 8: the DEI.
- 8:43Speaker 1: Thank you.
- 8:43Speaker 8: And stop throwing money at, I'd rather put the money
- 8:47Speaker 8: where it matters, with people.
- 8:49Speaker 1: Yeah, and I was gonna ask you about that DEI stuff,
- 8:51Speaker 1: because we saw that in the Biden regime. A lot of,
- 8:53Speaker 1: you know, certain airlines were reducing how many hours behind
- 8:56Speaker 1: the stick to actually fly a jet. And then let's
- 8:58Speaker 1: pick this person because of their race or gender over
- 9:01Speaker 1: this person who might have more experience. That was scaring
- 9:03Speaker 1: the hell out of me. My wife was like, literally,
- 9:05Speaker 1: she steps on a plane, she looks in the cockpit.
- 9:07Speaker 1: Wait a minute, that's like a 20-year-old. She freaks out.
- 9:11Speaker 1: We want somebody like you who's been behind the stick
- 9:13Speaker 1: like 20, 30, 40 years. Anyway, your thoughts about that.
- 9:17Speaker 1: Old age and.
- 9:18Speaker 8: Treachery goes a long way. Old age and treachery goes
- 9:20Speaker 8: a long way over youthfulness and skill. But we want
- 9:23Speaker 8: the youth, we want them to be skilled. So we
- 9:25Speaker 8: need to have the systems in place to train them,
- 9:28Speaker 8: equip them. And aviation physiology is a big, big deal.
- 9:32Speaker 8: The pandemic response did not help our community at all. DEI,
- 9:37Speaker 8: it looks good. The companies were forced to do it
- 9:40Speaker 8: by BlackRock that was part of the ESG programs. And
- 9:44Speaker 8: it just doesn't flow into safety-sensitive jobs.
- 9:47Speaker 4: It has to be merit-based.
- 9:49Speaker 8: And unfortunately, a lot of these corporations are not complying
- 9:52Speaker 8: with the executive order to get rid of DEI programs.
- 9:55Speaker 8: They're just renaming, rebranding, rinse and repeat.
- 9:59Speaker 4: So we're still in.
- 10:01Speaker 8: Pronoun use and 100 genders. None of this applies in
- 10:06Speaker 8: the workplace in safety-sensitive jobs. We can't get this through
- 10:10Speaker 8: these executives' heads.
- 10:11Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you. 30 seconds left. Final question. This $ 30 billion,
- 10:16Speaker 1: where do you want to see the first part of
- 10:17Speaker 1: that money go to keep us safer? If you were
- 10:20Speaker 1: advising Secretary Duffy, where would you say, go upgrade the radar,
- 10:25Speaker 1: go do this? What would you say first?
- 10:27Speaker 8: Technology and communication standard. And then the second one is
- 10:31Speaker 8: human factors. Unless you want to replace humans with with robots,
- 10:36Speaker 8: but you're not there yet.
- 10:37Speaker 1: No, no, no, no. Not when we're in the air.
- 10:39Speaker 1: I still want a human with some good technology. I
- 10:42Speaker 1: want both. Captain Tom Ulterich, thank you for your service.
- 10:46Speaker 1: And thanks for all those years behind the stick keeping
- 10:47Speaker 1: people safe. Appreciate you.
- 10:49Speaker 4: Yes, sir.
- 10:50Speaker 5: Yep.
- 10:50Speaker 1: All right, coming up after the break, both Democrat and
- 10:53Speaker 1: Republican leaders have said it for years. Manufacturing's dead in America.
- 10:57Speaker 1: It's never coming back after they allowed the globalization takeover
- 11:01Speaker 1: of America. Well, guess what? President Trump said, hold my beer.
- 11:05Speaker 1: In addition to bringing back a bunch of car plants,
- 11:08Speaker 1: guess what he just announced this week? A major super
- 11:11Speaker 1: steel manufacturing plant will be built in Iowa. And we'll
- 11:15Speaker 1: head there next for Reaction Plus. Former special prosecutor under
- 11:18Speaker 1: the Biden regime, Jack Smith, back in the hot seat
- 11:20Speaker 1: on Capitol Hill today. Roger Stone will weigh in on
- 11:23Speaker 1: his bogus testimony. And a Democrat lawmaker goes after BB
- 11:27Speaker 1: and pellet guns, wants them registered, regulated, just like your
- 11:31Speaker 1: rifles and shotguns and pistols. It's ridiculous. Plus an update
- 11:36Speaker 1: on the discovery of Noah's Ark over in Turkey. A
- 11:39Speaker 1: bit later in the program, don't go away. For all
- 11:42Speaker 1: of our viewers out there asking where to watch One
- 11:44Speaker 1: America News, we'd like to introduce you to OAN Live.
- 11:47Speaker 1: OAN Live is the best way to stay up to
- 11:49Speaker 1: date on the hardest hitting news and our talk shows.
- 11:52Speaker 1: And the best part is OAN Live is only $ 4. 99

- 12:05Speaker 1: sign up for the news and conservative talk you can't
- 12:08Speaker 1: get anywhere else.
- 12:18Speaker 9: Because some of those jobs of the past are just
- 12:20Speaker 9: not going to come back. And when somebody says, like
- 12:27Speaker 9: the person you just mentioned, who I'm not going to
- 12:29Speaker 9: advertise for, that he's gonna bring all these jobs back.
- 12:33Speaker 1: Well, how exactly are you gonna do that? What are
- 12:35Speaker 1: you gonna do?
- 12:37Speaker 9: There's no answer to it. He just says, well, I'm
- 12:41Speaker 9: gonna negotiate a better deal. Well, how exactly are you
- 12:45Speaker 9: going to negotiate that?
- 12:47Speaker 1: He just did it, idiot. That was former President Barack
- 12:52Speaker 1: Obama on the campaign trail for then-Senator Hillary Clinton answering
- 12:56Speaker 1: a question from a constituent on how can Trump promise
- 12:59Speaker 1: he's going to bring manufacturing jobs back? You heard his answer.
- 13:03Speaker 5: Ha!
- 13:04Speaker 1: So that was a little over 10 years ago. Manufacturing
- 13:07Speaker 1: will never come back, according to good old Barry. Well,
- 13:12Speaker 1: guess what Trump's doing? Bringing it back. We've got car
- 13:15Speaker 1: manufacturers that were down in Mexico, at least two or
- 13:18Speaker 1: three plants that are coming back. And now, just this week,
- 13:22Speaker 1: he shared some major news about a huge industry building
- 13:26Speaker 1: a mega plant in Iowa. But they said it would
- 13:30Speaker 1: never happen.
- 13:33Speaker 10: We're thrilled to announce that Mesabi Metallics will be building
- 13:37Speaker 10: the largest steel plant in American history in the great
- 13:41Speaker 10: state of Iowa. It's the largest plant, one of the
- 13:43Speaker 10: largest plants in the world, but it's the largest plant
- 13:46Speaker 10: in America by far.
- 13:50Speaker 1: The $ 15 billion steel plant will be built in Lee County, Iowa.
- 13:54Speaker 1: It'll be the largest and first integrated mega steel plant
- 13:58Speaker 1: built since the 1960s. Production set to begin by 2030.
- 14:02Speaker 1: It'll produce somewhere between seven to 10 million tons of
- 14:05Speaker 1: high-grade steel every year. Here's the best part, it'll create
- 14:09Speaker 1: thousands of new jobs. But they said it couldn't be done.
- 14:13Speaker 1: Even more interesting, the plant is projected to generate over
- 14:15Speaker 1: $ 95 billion in long-term economic impact. The big question for
- 14:21Speaker 1: politicians and past presidents, what do you guys say now?
- 14:26Speaker 1: Here's the commander in chief breaking it down.
- 14:29Speaker 10: This announcement is only possible because of the pro-American policies
- 14:34Speaker 10: of the Trump administration under sleepy Joe Biden.
- 14:38Speaker 1: Have you heard of him?
- 14:40Speaker 10: Steel production declined significantly and nearly 200,000 manufacturing jobs were
- 14:45Speaker 10: lost in the year before I took office and they
- 14:48Speaker 10: were leaving They were losing these jobs at record numbers.
- 14:52Speaker 10: But soon after my inauguration, I imposed powerful 50 percent
- 14:57Speaker 10: tariffs on all foreign steel. And now our steel industry
- 15:00Speaker 10: is roaring back to life. Everyone is building their plant
- 15:03Speaker 10: here because they don't want to pay tariffs.
- 15:05Speaker 1: That's how you do it, Mr. Obama. You tariff, you negotiate,
- 15:11Speaker 1: and you bring manufacturing back. Joining me now with reaction
- 15:14Speaker 1: to this great news, he represents Iowa's 51st District State
- 15:18Speaker 1: Representative Brett Barker on the program for the first time. Hey, Brett,
- 15:23Speaker 1: when you heard the news, you probably knew ahead of time,
- 15:25Speaker 1: I would hope, under the table they start telling you
- 15:27Speaker 1: guys what's coming. But what was your reaction when you
- 15:29Speaker 1: heard that we're going to build a steel plant in
- 15:31Speaker 1: America again and it's going to be in Iowa and
- 15:34Speaker 1: they said it couldn't be done?
- 15:37Speaker 5: Yeah, it's absolutely huge news for our state.
- 15:39Speaker 11: You know, we're one of those states that's continued to
- 15:41Speaker 11: try to bring those jobs back to America. One of
- 15:44Speaker 11: our largest sectors of our economy is manufacturing, you know,
- 15:47Speaker 11: and this is a part of the state that's needed jobs.
- 15:49Speaker 11: And this is a huge way to bring them there.
- 15:51Speaker 11: And I'm not only excited about this project, I'm excited
- 15:53Speaker 11: about what follows. Because what we know is steel is
- 15:56Speaker 11: one of the most expensive commodities to transport. And so
- 15:59Speaker 11: we do expect other industry that uses steel to follow
- 16:02Speaker 11: this plant to Iowa. And so it's going to be
- 16:04Speaker 11: transformational for generations in that part of the state.
- 16:07Speaker 1: Why do you think, and I know you can't get
- 16:09Speaker 1: into their heads, but we heard it from Republican presidents
- 16:11Speaker 1: and lawmakers in Congress too, for the last several decades,
- 16:14Speaker 1: ever since we started globalization back under HW Bush, they
- 16:18Speaker 1: told us these manufacturing jobs, cars, steel, lumber, it's never
- 16:22Speaker 1: coming back. Trump's literally bringing it all back within the
- 16:25Speaker 1: first year and a half of his four year term.
- 16:29Speaker 5: Yeah, and it's absolutely fantastic.
- 16:31Speaker 11: And one of the things that I think does drive
- 16:33Speaker 11: that is we're learning that while the global economy brings
- 16:35Speaker 11: a lot of benefits, there's also some national security issues
- 16:38Speaker 11: to that. We see that we have to make things
- 16:40Speaker 11: here in this country. We went through COVID and what
- 16:42Speaker 11: happens when the just-in-time supply chain started breaking down, where
- 16:45Speaker 11: we're waiting for pieces to come from all over the
- 16:47Speaker 11: world and all of a sudden our businesses couldn't do
- 16:49Speaker 11: what they needed to do. So there's certainly value in
- 16:51Speaker 11: having that supply chain right here in America and the
- 16:54Speaker 11: United States where we can control the inputs effectively. And
- 16:57Speaker 11: then we don't have that uncertainty that happens when the
- 16:59Speaker 11: world is turbulent.
- 17:00Speaker 1: Yep, like we did. Like, I'm a 70s baby. From
- 17:03Speaker 1: the 70s back, we didn't rely on anybody but us.
- 17:06Speaker 1: And then we started screwing up in the 80s and 90s.
- 17:08Speaker 1: But now we're getting back on track. Brett, totally off topic,
- 17:11Speaker 1: but while I got you here, you're a Republican lawmaker.
- 17:14Speaker 1: We are 35 days away from the midterms. The Democrats
- 17:18Speaker 1: have sold their souls to the socialists. They've got Democrat
- 17:21Speaker 1: socialist candidates winning all their primaries all across the board.
- 17:24Speaker 1: What do Republicans need to do to make sure we
- 17:27Speaker 1: lock this up on the state, federal, local, all levels?
- 17:31Speaker 1: Final one to you.
- 17:33Speaker 11: Well, we know that if our voters show up, we're
- 17:35Speaker 11: going to win. We've got a record to run on.
- 17:38Speaker 11: And I think we need to sell that record. You know,
- 17:41Speaker 11: we in Iowa have done a lot of things. We
- 17:42Speaker 11: made a lot of promises. We put control of education
- 17:45Speaker 11: back in parents' hands. We protected girls sports. We've done
- 17:49Speaker 11: historic investments in cancer research and water quality. We've made
- 17:52Speaker 11: our state one of the most business friendly states in
- 17:54Speaker 11: the country. We've taken our tax rates from some of
- 17:57Speaker 11: the worst to some of the best. We just lowered
- 17:58Speaker 11: property taxes. A lot of that is why the steel
- 18:01Speaker 11: plant is coming to Iowa, because we've done those things
- 18:03Speaker 11: that are very business friendly. We've taken on insurance companies
- 18:06Speaker 11: to take on drug costs. We've taken away unnecessary regulatory barriers.
- 18:12Speaker 11: in health care, and all those things are getting results.
- 18:15Speaker 11: And I think if Republicans show up to the polls,
- 18:18Speaker 11: then we win. We just know that in Iowa. And
- 18:20Speaker 11: I believe that they're going to reward our legislative majority,
- 18:23Speaker 11: and they're going to send us back with a majority.
- 18:25Speaker 1: Well, you saw that headline I put up, and I
- 18:26Speaker 1: can't believe it's only 55 percent. But only 55 percent
- 18:30Speaker 1: of Americans view DSA, Democrat Socialist Party, as unfavorable, and
- 18:34Speaker 1: 30-some percent view it favorably. I think you're right. Republicans,
- 18:38Speaker 1: get out there and brag on all of the great
- 18:41Speaker 1: things you've done over the last two years, but also
- 18:44Speaker 1: hammer how crazy socialism is and these Democrat candidates that
- 18:48Speaker 1: are embracing it. They are embracing socialism in a God-fearing
- 18:53Speaker 1: capitalist country. I don't understand what Americans are thinking, but
- 18:57Speaker 1: hopefully in 35 days we can get it right. Brett Barker,
- 19:00Speaker 1: you were repping the 51st in Iowa. Congrats on the
- 19:03Speaker 1: new steel plant. A lot of jobs coming your way.
- 19:06Speaker 5: Thank you very much.
- 19:07Speaker 1: Yep, take care. All righty, coming up next, did you hear?
- 19:10Speaker 1: You might have seen it right here on OAN earlier today.
- 19:12Speaker 1: Biden's former special prosecutor, Jack Smith, was back on Capitol
- 19:16Speaker 1: Hill today getting grilled by the Senate Judiciary Committee. Political
- 19:19Speaker 1: strategist Roger Stone will sound off about his bogus testimony next.
- 19:23Speaker 1: Don't go away. For all of our viewers out there

- 19:50Speaker 1: to easily sign up for the news and conservative talk
- 19:53Speaker 1: you can't get anywhere else.
- 20:04Speaker 12: I stand by my decisions. as special counsel, including my
- 20:07Speaker 12: decision to bring charges against President Trump. I made those
- 20:12Speaker 12: decisions without regard to President Trump's political association, activities, beliefs,
- 20:19Speaker 12: or candidacy in the 2024 presidential election.
- 20:26Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Can you guys please get a laugh track
- 20:29Speaker 1: back there? Or we need a live audience or something
- 20:30Speaker 1: to react to this crap. Really, Jack Smith, you were
- 20:35Speaker 1: a true special independent counsel. You didn't let politics play
- 20:40Speaker 1: any role in your investigation of 47. Right. Got some
- 20:45Speaker 1: great swampland in Florida you can build a nice big
- 20:47Speaker 1: home on. It's beautiful. If you believe that fool, buy
- 20:51Speaker 1: the land from me. Anyway, I believe he was appointed,
- 20:55Speaker 1: and it was an absolute abuse of power. They sent
- 20:59Speaker 1: him after Trump because... They knew they weren't going to
- 21:02Speaker 1: be able to beat him. That's what all those bogus
- 21:04Speaker 1: cases were, all those investigations. And the reason I bring
- 21:08Speaker 1: up Mr. Smith again is if you were watching OAN
- 21:11Speaker 1: earlier today, you saw some more live testimony on Capitol Hill. Smith,
- 21:16Speaker 1: the former special counsel who was appointed by Merrick Garland,
- 21:19Speaker 1: Biden's corrupt AG, to go after President Trump in 2022,
- 21:24Speaker 1: had to testify today once again in front of the
- 21:26Speaker 1: Senate Judiciary Committee regarding his decisions when investigating Trump. The
- 21:32Speaker 1: proceedings lasted for more than four hours. Lots to discuss,
- 21:37Speaker 1: including the 2020 election, the classified documents case, and the
- 21:42Speaker 1: inquiry into text messages of Republican lawmakers. Remember when they
- 21:46Speaker 1: were digging into those and seizing them after January 6th?
- 21:50Speaker 1: Smith also went on the offense, saying he will not
- 21:52Speaker 1: be silenced by continued threats of prosecution. Okay. Meanwhile, Democrats
- 21:58Speaker 1: accused Republicans of spreading conspiracies about Smith's actions. Typical crap,
- 22:06Speaker 1: as usual. Democrats defending him time and time again, trying
- 22:10Speaker 1: to shield him from any scrutiny, including during a line
- 22:14Speaker 1: of questioning from Missouri Senator Eric Schmidt. At one point,
- 22:18Speaker 1: Schmidt confronted Smith, suggesting he had been in Atlanta in
- 22:22Speaker 1: February of 2024 and questioning whether or not he had
- 22:25Speaker 1: worked with the Fulton County DA, Fonnie Willis. Remember that name?
- 22:31Speaker 1: She also went after President Trump as well. She's the
- 22:35Speaker 1: one that had that boyfriend. Remember Nathan Wade and that
- 22:38Speaker 1: whole controversy? Yeah, they're not corrupt. Schmidt cited text messages
- 22:42Speaker 1: and asked if Smith, hey, did you attend an Atlanta
- 22:46Speaker 1: Hawks basketball game during that time? Smith said no before
- 22:51Speaker 1: being accused of giving false testimony. Then things pretty much
- 22:54Speaker 1: fell apart for Smith. Said he attended a women's basketball
- 22:57Speaker 1: game against the Iowa Hawkeyes, not the Atlanta Hawks, leading
- 23:00Speaker 1: to confusion and a bunch of wasted time. But, again,
- 23:03Speaker 1: very contentious four hours on the Hill today.
- 23:07Speaker 12: It was because Kaitlin Clark was coming to Maryland to play.
- 23:11Speaker 1: I know, but that might be the confusion over the
- 23:14Speaker 1: names of the team, but perhaps you should have looked
- 23:17Speaker 1: at it more carefully.
- 23:19Speaker 6: Whose questioning is this, by the way, Mr.
- 23:21Speaker 1: Chairman?
- 23:21Speaker 6: Are you using your time, Senator? Is this what this is?
- 23:24Speaker 6: Are we just having like.
- 23:25Speaker 1: An open session here? I will begin my questions. I'm
- 23:27Speaker 1: just in shock.
- 23:28Speaker 6: Well, I'm glad you're trying to rehabilitate the witness, but.
- 23:31Speaker 1: It's not your time. When you are calling a witness
- 23:32Speaker 1: a dirtbag.
- 23:33Speaker 6: I presented him with text messages about him wanting to
- 23:37Speaker 6: meet with people.
- 23:37Speaker 13: Please.
- 23:38Speaker 6: That could have obviously been related to the prosecution that
- 23:42Speaker 6: was coordinated with his office in Atlanta.
- 23:44Speaker 9: Well, I'm going to begin my questions now, but I
- 23:47Speaker 9: think that people should have their facts.
- 23:48Speaker 1: Straight before they accuse someone of being a dirt bag
- 23:52Speaker 1: and not get the team. I stand by that. He
- 23:55Speaker 1: is a dirt bag. And ma'am, I'll save my choice
- 23:58Speaker 1: words for you. It doesn't matter if it was a
- 24:00Speaker 1: female or male basketball game. That's not the point the
- 24:03Speaker 1: Senator was making. The point he was making is that
- 24:06Speaker 1: all of these people coordinated. He was supposed to be
- 24:08Speaker 1: an independent special counsel. But I guarantee you, those corrupt
- 24:12Speaker 1: judges on the East Coast, Fannie Willis down in Fulton County,
- 24:16Speaker 1: and this dirtbag all colluded together to throw those, what,
- 24:20Speaker 1: four or five cases at Trump? Remember all the trials
- 24:23Speaker 1: and court cases he had to go through? Now, a
- 24:26Speaker 1: big moment came when Texas Senator Ted Cruz took over
- 24:29Speaker 1: the questioning. His phone records and communications data were targeted
- 24:33Speaker 1: and subpoenaed by Smith's team, as we talked about. That
- 24:36Speaker 1: was part of the Sham Jam 6 investigation. And I
- 24:40Speaker 1: don't think Mr. Cruz was that happy about it. Watch this.
- 24:44Speaker 5: I believe you have no regrets.
- 24:45Speaker 14: I believe you have convinced yourself that this witch hunt
- 24:49Speaker 14: targeting half the country for partisan ends was justified.
- 24:53Speaker 1: Well, let me say....
- 24:56Speaker 14: You have brought the Department of Justice... into disrepute, and
- 25:00Speaker 14: you have done enormous damage. And I believe your conduct
- 25:07Speaker 14: represents the most egregious abuse of power in the history
- 25:12Speaker 14: of the Department of Justice.
- 25:15Speaker 1: Joining me now with a reaction to today's testimony, host
- 25:18Speaker 1: of the Stone Zone podcast, Republican strategist, the icon in
- 25:22Speaker 1: the biz, Roger Stone, back on the program. Hey, Rog.
- 25:24Speaker 1: How you been, brother?
- 25:25Speaker 4: Dan, great to be with you.
- 25:28Speaker 1: I know you're a huge fan of Mr. Smith's. How
- 25:32Speaker 1: did Mr. Smith going to Washington do today? Not well.
- 25:36Speaker 3: You know, I think Senator Ted Cruz is almost right. Actually,
- 25:40Speaker 3: I think the Arctic Frost investigation by Jack Smith is
- 25:44Speaker 3: the second largest abuse of power in the history of
- 25:49Speaker 3: the country, the first one being the Mueller investigation. The
- 25:53Speaker 3: irony of this is that I believe Smith's raid on
- 25:56Speaker 3: Mar-a-Lago A raid on the home of a former president
- 26:00Speaker 3: of the United States was an effort to get those
- 26:03Speaker 3: classified documents that proved, as Tulsi Gabbard let us all
- 26:08Speaker 3: know with her declassification, that the Russian collusion matter was
- 26:12Speaker 3: indeed a seditious conspiracy, a hoax. hooked up to deprive
- 26:18Speaker 3: Donald Trump from the presidency that he won in a
- 26:22Speaker 3: fair election in 2016. So this is, at a minimum,
- 26:27Speaker 3: the second greatest abuse of power in our history, perhaps
- 26:31Speaker 3: the second greatest political dirty trick.
- 26:35Speaker 4: Remember Watergate? Remember how all.
- 26:37Speaker 3: The Democrats and the liberals in the press went crazy
- 26:40Speaker 3: because supporters of Richard Nixon planted bugs in the Democrat
- 26:45Speaker 3: national headquarters, which never actually worked?
- 26:48Speaker 4: In this case.
- 26:50Speaker 3: Jack Smith was spying on at least eight members of
- 26:53Speaker 3: the U.S. Senate, all Republicans, and a number of President
- 26:57Speaker 3: Trump's key supporters and friends, including yours truly. Where are
- 27:02Speaker 3: the civilitarians now? Where's the ACLU now? Where are those
- 27:06Speaker 3: who are so concerned about civil liberties now? They're nowhere
- 27:10Speaker 3: to be found. Jack Smith also argues that he's not
- 27:14Speaker 3: a partisan. His wife is a major donor to Kamala Harris.
- 27:20Speaker 3: as well as, I believe, Joe Biden. He is a
- 27:23Speaker 3: crony of the most epically corrupt federal prosecutor, sadistic federal
- 27:28Speaker 3: prosecutor in American history, Andrew Weissman. They served together in
- 27:33Speaker 3: New York. That's why I think he was chosen for
- 27:35Speaker 3: this particular hit squad. And, as you know, recent documents
- 27:40Speaker 3: have come to light showing that the Merrick Garland Justice
- 27:45Speaker 3: Department was coordinating with all those New York prosecutors, Alvin
- 27:49Speaker 3: Bragg and Letitia James, as well as with Mr. Smith,
- 27:53Speaker 3: in the effort, the tsunami of lawfare that was waged
- 27:57Speaker 3: against President Trump to make sure that he couldn't win
- 28:00Speaker 3: another term.
- 28:01Speaker 1: Yeah, and they all coordinated, as I said at the beginning,
- 28:03Speaker 1: down south with Fannie Willis, too. It was all an
- 28:05Speaker 1: effort to stop him from the presidency. a second time.
- 28:09Speaker 1: And you brought up the ACLU, then the Southern Poverty
- 28:11Speaker 1: Law Center. It's so hilarious. These folks act like they
- 28:13Speaker 1: care about civil liberties and rights only when it helps
- 28:16Speaker 1: Democrats or liberals. I never see them come to the
- 28:18Speaker 1: aid of conservatives or Republicans. It's disgusting. You brought up
- 28:22Speaker 1: the raid. Raj, didn't the FBI, even though Biden was
- 28:26Speaker 1: the president at the time, didn't they push back and
- 28:29Speaker 1: tell Jackass Smith and Merrick Garland, hey, we don't suggest
- 28:32Speaker 1: you go through with this. There's not enough evidence for
- 28:34Speaker 1: us to go down there and pull the raid. I
- 28:36Speaker 1: swear I saw a headline or read an article that
- 28:38Speaker 1: said they told them don't do it.
- 28:40Speaker 3: Yeah, they concluded that there was not legitimate probable cause
- 28:45Speaker 3: for that raid, which they rummaged through, you know, Melania Trump,
- 28:48Speaker 3: the first lady's underwear draw.
- 28:50Speaker 1: Disgusting.
- 28:51Speaker 3: I know what this is like because they raided my
- 28:53Speaker 3: home back in 2019.
- 28:56Speaker 4: They went through my wife's underwear draw.
- 28:58Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 28:58Speaker 3: They tore our house apart for 13 hours, finding no
- 29:02Speaker 3: evidence whatsoever.
- 29:03Speaker 1: Right.
- 29:04Speaker 3: Of Russian collusion, WikiLeaks collaboration or any other crimes.
- 29:09Speaker 1: And CNN got there too, Rog. Remember, I love telling
- 29:11Speaker 1: folks that.
- 29:11Speaker 4: How coincidental.
- 29:12Speaker 1: CNN got there before the FBI got there, folks. Remember that.
- 29:15Speaker 1: CNN was in front of Roger's house before the cops
- 29:18Speaker 1: showed up. How does that happen, Roger?
- 29:21Speaker 4: How coincidental.
- 29:21Speaker 3: Look, Dan, I was arrested at 6.06 in the morning.
- 29:25Speaker 3: At 6.11, a producer at CNN texts my lawyer with
- 29:30Speaker 3: a copy of my sealed indictment that would not be
- 29:34Speaker 3: unsealed until 11 o'clock that morning. CNN now claims that
- 29:39Speaker 3: they got it online. Well, it has no timestamps. But
- 29:42Speaker 3: if you look at the metadata tags, what it does
- 29:45Speaker 3: have are the initials of the prosecutor who wrote it,
- 29:48Speaker 3: Andrew Weissman.
- 29:50Speaker 4: Best friend of Jack Smith.
- 29:51Speaker 3: So to me, that's evidence that Weissman, in violation of
- 29:55Speaker 3: the law, leaked the information regarding the arrest warrant and
- 30:00Speaker 3: the search warrant on my home. Needless to say, the
- 30:03Speaker 3: judge in my case could care less because we have
- 30:06Speaker 3: a two-tier justice system where Hillary Clinton, you can have
- 30:09Speaker 3: an illegal email server, you can sell control of 70%
- 30:14Speaker 3: of the uranium in the United States to the Russians,
- 30:17Speaker 3: and nothing will happen to you But if you're Donald
- 30:20Speaker 3: Trump and you jaywalk, believe me, they're going to put
- 30:22Speaker 3: you in jail.
- 30:23Speaker 1: Yep, that's right. But, Raj, here we are today. What
- 30:29Speaker 1: do you think Congress should do? What kind of power
- 30:32Speaker 1: do they have? What can they do to Jack Smith?
- 30:36Speaker 3: Well, the real question here lies with the Justice Department
- 30:39Speaker 3: rather than Jack Smith. I think the Congress can be
- 30:42Speaker 3: effective in getting the facts in front of the American people.
- 30:46Speaker 3: And I thought Senator Schmidt did a very good job.
- 30:49Speaker 3: He's a former attorney general of Missouri and a tough
- 30:53Speaker 3: customer in his own right.
- 30:55Speaker 4: You could see the.
- 30:58Speaker 3: Democrats trying to cover for him. But I think the
- 31:02Speaker 3: most important thing they can do is get the facts
- 31:04Speaker 3: in front of the American people. The real power lies
- 31:07Speaker 3: at the Justice Department. I think Jack Smith should be
- 31:10Speaker 3: prosecuted for the violation of the rights of President Donald Trump.
- 31:16Speaker 3: They violated his civil rights. I'm still hopeful that the
- 31:20Speaker 3: grand jury in South Florida will prosecute the seditious conspiracy
- 31:26Speaker 3: that begins in July of 2016, takes us through the
- 31:30Speaker 3: Russian collusion hoax, two completely phony impeachments, the questionable 2020 election,
- 31:36Speaker 3: the raid on Mar-a-Lago, the false claims against President Trump
- 31:39Speaker 3: regarding January 6th. This is one continuous conspiracy with the
- 31:44Speaker 3: same conspirators, and therefore there is no time bar on prosecution,
- 31:49Speaker 3: somebody like Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Susan Rice, James Comey,
- 31:55Speaker 3: John Brennan, Andrew McCabe, not to name any names, all
- 31:59Speaker 3: of these people should be prosecuted. It's not about revenge
- 32:04Speaker 3: and retaliation.
- 32:05Speaker 4: It's about accountability and justice.
- 32:07Speaker 1: Justice and following the rule of law, which liberals hate doing. Roger,
- 32:11Speaker 1: as always, it's such a pleasure. Sorry we didn't have you.
- 32:13Speaker 1: You need to come on more often. All right. Take care, Roger.
- 32:16Speaker 4: Great to be with you.
- 32:17Speaker 1: Yep, nice seeing you. All righty, straight ahead. I can't
- 32:20Speaker 1: believe I'm going to say this, but it's a California Democrat,
- 32:24Speaker 1: so go figure. A congressman from California who, yes, happens
- 32:29Speaker 1: to be a Democrat, now wants the federal government to
- 32:32Speaker 1: treat pellet and BB guns, those airsoft rifles, just like
- 32:37Speaker 1: rifles and shotguns and pistols. He wants you to go
- 32:39Speaker 1: through a background check. He wants you to register them.
- 32:41Speaker 1: This is not a joke. We'll explain next. For all
- 32:48Speaker 1: of our viewers out there asking where to watch One
- 32:50Speaker 1: America News, we'd like to introduce you to OAN Live.

- 33:13Speaker 1: and conservative talk you can't get anywhere else.
- 33:25Speaker 7: Okay, Black Bart, now you get yours.
- 33:29Speaker 13: Oh, my God, I shot my eye out!
- 33:42Speaker 4: You'll shoot your eye out, kid. You'll shoot your eye out!
- 33:45Speaker 1: You'll shoot your eye out! Folks, I know if you're
- 33:53Speaker 1: my age, at least, or older, you remember that great
- 33:55Speaker 1: American classic. And it sets up this next story of
- 34:00Speaker 1: crazy Democrats, anti-Second Amendment, anti-American Democrats, as far as I'm concerned.
- 34:06Speaker 1: Because as kids, I had one of those BB guns
- 34:09Speaker 1: by Daisy. Didn't you? We all did. You got them
- 34:13Speaker 1: for a couple bucks. Yeah, your parents would say, don't
- 34:16Speaker 1: shoot out your eyeball, or the neighbors get eyeballed, but
- 34:18Speaker 1: you can have a BB gun. Then we got pellet guns,
- 34:20Speaker 1: and you could pump them a little more. Then we
- 34:22Speaker 1: started putting CO2 in them, so they're more powerful. It's
- 34:25Speaker 1: still a BB gun. But guess what? You know Democrats
- 34:29Speaker 1: out there want to take all your guns away. And now,
- 34:33Speaker 1: it's not just pistols and rifles and shotguns. It's good
- 34:36Speaker 1: old Red Riders. They pretty much want air rifles, not gone,
- 34:42Speaker 1: but they want to treat them like a shotgun or
- 34:45Speaker 1: a rifle. As we speak, a Democrat from California named
- 34:52Speaker 1: Kevin Mullen is pushing a new law to reclassify airsoft
- 34:57Speaker 1: pellet and BB guns under federal law. Dubbed Garrett's Law,
- 35:03Speaker 1: he recently introduced the bill after one of his constituents
- 35:07Speaker 1: took his life with an airsoft gun. which that must
- 35:12Speaker 1: have been a powerful gun, and I don't know how
- 35:13Speaker 1: you do that, but okay. Garrett Edwards, a young man
- 35:16Speaker 1: that struggled with mental issues. How about we handle mental
- 35:18Speaker 1: issues instead of taking guns? Anyway, so he wanted to
- 35:22Speaker 1: kill himself, so he bought an airsoft rifle and shot
- 35:26Speaker 1: him that way instead of a real gun because he
- 35:28Speaker 1: couldn't buy a real gun. So because one mentally disturbed
- 35:32Speaker 1: person happened to use an airsoft gun, this kooky congressman
- 35:36Speaker 1: now wants to crack down on him. Folks, I don't
- 35:39Speaker 1: make this up. It is 100% factual. BB guns. His
- 35:44Speaker 1: bill would place airsoft guns under ATF control. They would require,
- 35:49Speaker 1: this is so ridiculous, a background check to buy them Whoa.
- 35:56Speaker 1: It would also mean they'll have to put serial numbers
- 35:58Speaker 1: on them so they can be tracked. Even worse, this
- 36:01Speaker 1: congressman is exploiting a tragedy to justify his bogus bill.
- 36:07Speaker 15: Currently, some modern air guns are as deadly as traditional firearms,
- 36:12Speaker 15: yet aren't regulated as guns. This allows anyone to bypass
- 36:17Speaker 15: background checks and effectively buy.
- 36:19Speaker 7: A firearm no matter what.
- 36:21Speaker 15: That is why I'm introducing Garrett's Law, which would designate lethal,
- 36:25Speaker 15: high-powered air guns as firearms and extend gun safety protections
- 36:30Speaker 15: to them. Garrett should still be here today. His family
- 36:34Speaker 15: should have never had to endure this unthinkable tragedy. We
- 36:37Speaker 15: should treat all lethal guns like guns.
- 36:41Speaker 1: You're a moron, and how about that grieving family say,
- 36:45Speaker 1: let's get better mental health for our people. Really? A
- 36:52Speaker 1: BB gun. Here now with reaction, and I'm sure it's
- 36:55Speaker 1: going to be a good one, he's the Director of
- 36:56Speaker 1: Federal Affairs over at Gun Owners of America, Aiden Johnston,
- 37:00Speaker 1: back on the program. Aiden, your reaction when you heard
- 37:04Speaker 1: a congressman say he wants to register all BB guns
- 37:09Speaker 1: and pellet guns?
- 37:11Speaker 7: Dan, I can't even believe we're here having this conversation.
- 37:13Speaker 16: Apparently, they're not just coming for your guns, but they're
- 37:16Speaker 16: actually coming for your BB guns and your airsoft guns
- 37:19Speaker 16: and all that.
- 37:20Speaker 7: I mean, this just shows.
- 37:22Speaker 16: How fundamentally unserious the Democrats are when it comes to
- 37:25Speaker 16: gun control. They can't think about anything, any solutions besides
- 37:28Speaker 16: why don't we just ban things. And that's just not
- 37:31Speaker 16: going to work. We already know that gun control doesn't
- 37:33Speaker 16: save lives. It doesn't stop mass shootings. It doesn't stop
- 37:36Speaker 16: suicides and it doesn't stop criminals. What we need is
- 37:38Speaker 16: for the Democrats to actually get tough on crime in cities.
- 37:41Speaker 16: And like you said, to work on mental health reforms,
- 37:44Speaker 16: to actually help people who are in need. But background
- 37:47Speaker 16: checks and all this federal regulation and having to go
- 37:50Speaker 16: to a gun store to actually buy a BB gun
- 37:53Speaker 16: for your child is ridiculous.
- 37:55Speaker 1: Well, look, not even for your kid. I was telling
- 37:58Speaker 1: Aiden folks before he came on, I had to go
- 38:00Speaker 1: buy one of these air soft rifles that take the canister.
- 38:04Speaker 1: So they're a lot more powerful than the Red Ryder
- 38:07Speaker 1: we had when we were kids that you cocked. I
- 38:08Speaker 1: get that because I wasn't allowed to shoot my real
- 38:11Speaker 1: guns on the property that I bought in rural San
- 38:14Speaker 1: Diego County, California, because people called the police on me
- 38:18Speaker 1: and the cops told me I was in a zone
- 38:19Speaker 1: I couldn't shoot. And I have critters that are messing
- 38:22Speaker 1: up my property. So I went and bought an airsoft
- 38:25Speaker 1: rifle to shoot the squirrels and the gophers and all
- 38:27Speaker 1: that crap. And I'm sitting there going, first of all,
- 38:29Speaker 1: I don't know how you kill yourself with one. And
- 38:31Speaker 1: I feel so bad for the family. But that doesn't
- 38:33Speaker 1: mean then you go and try to say, we're going
- 38:36Speaker 1: to restrict and have a registry for a pellet gun.
- 38:40Speaker 1: This is so asinine. And Aiden, speaking of this registry
- 38:44Speaker 1: for the BB guns, I got a problem with the
- 38:47Speaker 1: registry overall. And we got a couple of headlines I
- 38:49Speaker 1: wanted to throw at you and get your take. There's
- 38:51Speaker 1: an Idaho senator. who is urging Trump's DOJ to investigate
- 38:56Speaker 1: the ATF's illegal gun registry because I'm told that the
- 39:01Speaker 1: federal government, and throw this up, holds at least the
- 39:07Speaker 1: records of 1.4 billion guns that Americans own. I'm probably
- 39:12Speaker 1: in there. I hate to say it because I follow
- 39:13Speaker 1: the law and I've bought several new guns in California,
- 39:16Speaker 1: so I'm sure they got my number as well. Aiden,
- 39:19Speaker 1: your reaction to that?
- 39:21Speaker 7: This is an insane story.
- 39:23Speaker 16: ATF just admitted to Congress that they have over 1.4
- 39:27Speaker 16: billion with a B records of firearm transactions by law
- 39:31Speaker 16: abiding citizens in the United States.
- 39:33Speaker 7: That is a gun registry.
- 39:35Speaker 16: You can't look me in the eye and tell me
- 39:36Speaker 16: with a straight face that 1.4 billion records in a
- 39:40Speaker 16: digital searchable database is not a registry.
- 39:43Speaker 7: This has your name, This has your address.
- 39:45Speaker 16: If you put your Social Security number down when you
- 39:47Speaker 16: bought a gun, it's got that. And then it's got
- 39:49Speaker 16: your make, model, serial number and weapon type of the
- 39:52Speaker 16: gun that you bought. That's a federal gun registry. And
- 39:56Speaker 16: gun registration always, always, always leads to gun confiscation. So
- 40:00Speaker 16: this is a massive threat to our Second Amendment rights.
- 40:03Speaker 16: And we're very glad to see eight senators and 24
- 40:05Speaker 16: congressmen warning both the Department of Justice and President Trump
- 40:09Speaker 16: about the threat that this registry poses to our Second
- 40:12Speaker 16: Amendment rights. We need to get this thing deleted ASAP.
- 40:15Speaker 1: Yes, amen. I can tell you in California when I've
- 40:18Speaker 1: bought a few ARs and other guns, they'll ask you,
- 40:21Speaker 1: do you have a gun safe? What name brand is it?
- 40:24Speaker 1: And where do you have it in your house? I
- 40:27Speaker 1: pretty much tell them to read between the lines. I'm
- 40:29Speaker 1: not giving you any of my details about any of
- 40:31Speaker 1: my guns. So then they make you buy a $ 7
- 40:34Speaker 1: lock to put on the trigger if you don't have
- 40:35Speaker 1: a gun safe. Because I just, I will not tell
- 40:38Speaker 1: them anything about where I keep or how many I
- 40:41Speaker 1: have or anything. But it is so ridiculous, Aiden. They
- 40:44Speaker 1: are coming after our guns. We know it to be true.
- 40:47Speaker 1: And I appreciate the Trump administration fighting back. But I
- 40:50Speaker 1: really appreciate you guys at Gun Owners of America. So, Aiden,
- 40:52Speaker 1: as we sign off, let folks know. I used to
- 40:56Speaker 1: be an NRA member, everybody, but I switched to these
- 40:59Speaker 1: guys because Gun Owners of America, when it says, shall
- 41:03Speaker 1: not be infringed, that's what they mean. How do you
- 41:06Speaker 1: sign up, Aiden?
- 41:07Speaker 16: You go to gunowners.org and you can join GOA for
- 41:10Speaker 16: just $ 25 today. Thank you so much, Dan, for being
- 41:13Speaker 16: a member. We couldn't do the work we do in
- 41:15Speaker 16: Washington or in the courts without the support of patriots
- 41:17Speaker 16: like you.
- 41:18Speaker 1: Well, I love what you guys stand for. Keep up
- 41:21Speaker 1: the fight, brother. Appreciate you.
- 41:23Speaker 7: Thank you for having me on.
- 41:24Speaker 1: Yep, take care. All right, seriously, I just gotta say
- 41:28Speaker 1: it one more time. BB guns, really, Democrats? All right,
- 41:32Speaker 1: stick around. Coming up next, we're gonna head to Turkey
- 41:35Speaker 1: to check out what the archeologists have been doing, uncovering,
- 41:38Speaker 1: I mean, look at it, Noah's Ark. We had him
- 41:41Speaker 1: on several months ago. Well, now word. One of the
- 41:43Speaker 1: archeologists had their apartment ransacked, was getting death threats to
- 41:47Speaker 1: get out of town and stop doing this work. Now,
- 41:51Speaker 1: who would not want the Ark discovered? We'll dive into
- 41:55Speaker 1: that when we come back. For all of our viewers
- 42:01Speaker 1: out there asking where to watch One America News, we'd
- 42:04Speaker 1: like to introduce you to OAN Live. OAN Live is

- 42:40Speaker 17: We get 50 centimeters at a time.
- 42:44Speaker 5: Open it carefully. If it's loose, we don't want to
- 42:46Speaker 5: go all over the place and describe what we see.
- 42:50Speaker 5: There's the first view.
- 42:51Speaker 17: This is under two meters at this one site.
- 42:54Speaker 1: Drill, baby, drill. That's what our next guest is doing
- 42:56Speaker 1: in Turkey as he and his team are searching for
- 42:59Speaker 1: Noah's Ark. Now, he'll join us in a minute to
- 43:02Speaker 1: talk about that, but bigger picture on the mission here.
- 43:07Speaker 1: He had some trouble in Turkey over the last year.
- 43:09Speaker 1: So let me back up. Him and his team have
- 43:10Speaker 1: been investigating this massive formation that stretches over 500 feet long.
- 43:15Speaker 1: They're pretty sure it's Noah's Ark. That's amazing. They're using robots,
- 43:20Speaker 1: as you see there. They recovered what they believe is
- 43:23Speaker 1: fossilized old wood The stuff doesn't belong in that region
- 43:26Speaker 1: of Turkey. It's ages and ages old. So they're just
- 43:29Speaker 1: waiting on the lab to get stuff back. However, preliminary
- 43:32Speaker 1: radar suggests that this formation is shaped in like a boat.
- 43:37Speaker 1: So it's very, very promising.
- 43:41Speaker 17: We have started the most extensive soil sampling coring program
- 43:46Speaker 17: research that's ever been done on the site. In fact,
- 43:48Speaker 17: this has never been done. In 1988, they tried to
- 43:52Speaker 17: core drill with the wrong machine. They got zero data.
- 43:54Speaker 17: We're collecting a lot of soil samples and information from
- 43:59Speaker 17: below the surface.
- 44:01Speaker 1: That was Andrew, our next guest, and they are literally
- 44:03Speaker 1: doing God's work. And because of that, you've got people
- 44:05Speaker 1: who don't like that. Case in point, Andrew's apartment in Turkey,
- 44:10Speaker 1: look at these pics, was ransacked several months ago. And
- 44:13Speaker 1: they didn't steal like anything they could steal. They went
- 44:16Speaker 1: specifically for computers, memory cards, and backup hard drives. Now
- 44:22Speaker 1: I wonder why that would happen. Also, Andrew's had several
- 44:26Speaker 1: death threats. People coming to his front door in the
- 44:28Speaker 1: middle of the night, telling him to get out or
- 44:30Speaker 1: they will kill him. Now earlier, I caught up with
- 44:34Speaker 1: Andrew Jones, one of the researchers of NOAA ARC scans,
- 44:38Speaker 1: to talk about where the research stands today, but more importantly,
- 44:42Speaker 1: who does he think's been giving him death threats? Who
- 44:44Speaker 1: broke into his apartment? And why wouldn't they want this uncovered? Hmm,
- 44:49Speaker 1: maybe because they don't want the Bible to be true. Andrew,
- 44:53Speaker 1: welcome back. So as you heard in the intro there,
- 44:56Speaker 1: we rolled that clip of you and I chatting way
- 44:58Speaker 1: back in April about this amazing, archaeological find and discovery,
- 45:05Speaker 1: and then it takes months for it to reach the states,
- 45:08Speaker 1: the news breaks, your apartment gets broken into just a
- 45:12Speaker 1: couple weeks after that big announcement. Who do you think
- 45:16Speaker 1: done it and why? Welcome back.
- 45:19Speaker 5: Yeah, thank you. I was glad to be back. Thanks
- 45:22Speaker 5: for having me.
- 45:23Speaker 17: We just finished our first season of the scientific work
- 45:26Speaker 17: in the field that we have a lot of stuff
- 45:28Speaker 17: to do in the labs.
- 45:30Speaker 5: But it's true.
- 45:31Speaker 17: Right after we made the announcement that we were doing
- 45:33Speaker 17: this project, we had gotten.
- 45:36Speaker 5: The approval for it.
- 45:38Speaker 17: My apartment was ransacked, hit, and they only targeted all
- 45:41Speaker 17: my hard drives. And I had one computer left there
- 45:45Speaker 17: and camera gear, audio gear. And sadly, they had no
- 45:50Speaker 17: evidence on the security cameras. So they said the cameras
- 45:53Speaker 17: didn't work. So we don't know who did it, but
- 45:56Speaker 17: it for sure was targeted because the people before that
- 45:58Speaker 17: who were trying to harass me were speaking in English.
- 46:01Speaker 5: So they knew a foreigner was living in that apartment.
- 46:04Speaker 5: I don't live there anymore.
- 46:04Speaker 1: Hold on, let me back up. So hold on. So
- 46:06Speaker 1: before your apartment got ransacked and your digital equipment where
- 46:11Speaker 1: you had your findings of Noah's Ark, the pictures, the video,
- 46:15Speaker 1: the I would share the composites, the levels, you're doing testing,
- 46:18Speaker 1: all that stuff that's on your laptop. They target that.
- 46:20Speaker 1: They don't steal anything else of value in the place.
- 46:23Speaker 1: They just take that. But prior to that robbery in May,
- 46:26Speaker 1: you were here in April. So you're saying before that,
- 46:29Speaker 1: you had harassing What, phone calls, door knocks? How were
- 46:33Speaker 1: people harassing you?
- 46:34Speaker 17: Yeah, door knocks, 1 a.m., midnight, twice over, like once
- 46:39Speaker 17: a week for two weeks in a row. I would
- 46:41Speaker 17: call my friends and they'd come over. Someone's knocking on
- 46:43Speaker 17: the door. At first they thought I was joking. And
- 46:45Speaker 17: I said, no, this is serious. And I said, they're.
- 46:47Speaker 5: Speaking English through the door, saying bad words, F.
- 46:51Speaker 17: You, we're going to kill you, and open the door,
- 46:54Speaker 17: banging on the door in the middle of the night.
- 46:57Speaker 5: Did you ever get a good look at them?
- 46:59Speaker 1: No.
- 47:01Speaker 5: No, because.
- 47:04Speaker 17: The lighting out in the hallway, just like dim lighting,
- 47:08Speaker 17: it's an old stairway. The building I had, it was
- 47:11Speaker 17: very cheap rent. It is downtown, right beside the main
- 47:15Speaker 17: outdoor bazaar, so it's a touristy area.
- 47:17Speaker 12: Yeah.
- 47:17Speaker 5: But the building was an older building. Probably. So security
- 47:20Speaker 5: cameras didn't work.
- 47:21Speaker 1: You think Turkish natives, you know.
- 47:25Speaker 5: It was definitely not another tourist, put it that way.
- 47:27Speaker 5: I mean, the English was broken English, had an accent.
- 47:29Speaker 5: You know, I was targeted because I was a foreigner.
- 47:32Speaker 5: Was I targeted because it was Noah's Ark work we're doing?
- 47:35Speaker 17: All I know is when they got into the apartment,
- 47:37Speaker 17: when I came back home, plus my friends sent me photos,
- 47:41Speaker 17: it was only the one office area that had all
- 47:43Speaker 17: the equipment and hard drives that were stolen.
- 47:45Speaker 5: Everything else was left alone.
- 47:47Speaker 1: They were going for your proof that the Ark exists,
- 47:51Speaker 1: that you found it, that... God and Jesus and our
- 47:55Speaker 1: story and the good book is all true. That's what
- 47:58Speaker 1: I think. I think someone didn't want your findings to
- 48:00Speaker 1: get out because, oh, I don't know, maybe their fake
- 48:04Speaker 1: religion doesn't work if ours is proven true. That's my opinion.
- 48:10Speaker 1: So you were getting harassed leading up. You made the
- 48:13Speaker 1: major announcement in April on this program. May your place
- 48:16Speaker 1: gets robbed. Have you since moved?
- 48:20Speaker 2: Yes.
- 48:20Speaker 1: Okay, good.
- 48:21Speaker 17: No, actually, I started staying with the archeological team at
- 48:25Speaker 17: their hotel. And so I've been there and I moved
- 48:29Speaker 17: all my stuff that was left in the apartment. I
- 48:31Speaker 17: moved out of that place, closed it down and no
- 48:34Speaker 17: longer I'm there.
- 48:35Speaker 5: So yeah, I feel better. Well, that's good, Andrew.
- 48:37Speaker 1: We need you to keep uncovering these magical truths of
- 48:42Speaker 1: the Bible and the days of Jesus. Let me back up.
- 48:46Speaker 1: I believe you said pre-interview before he came on, folks.
- 48:50Speaker 1: You had said that when you guys started this dig,
- 48:53Speaker 1: you had received pushback, protest, threats. Go back to even
- 48:57Speaker 1: before you started. What happened in Turkey?
- 49:01Speaker 17: Well, we got the permit, and maybe we should have
- 49:04Speaker 17: kept quiet because the opposition's out there for whatever reason.
- 49:09Speaker 17: We're trying to help tourism here and prove that Noah's
- 49:12Speaker 17: Ark exists. That would help Turkey. So we have a
- 49:14Speaker 17: lot of friends here.
- 49:16Speaker 5: But there are some people who, for whatever reason, Want
- 49:19Speaker 5: to stop?
- 49:20Speaker 1: Us.
- 49:20Speaker 17: And they have made phone calls to government officials. And
- 49:23Speaker 17: some of these officials have had to say, well, let's
- 49:26Speaker 17: stop the work. Let's have you guys tell us what
- 49:29Speaker 17: you're trying to do. Let me see your permit. And
- 49:32Speaker 17: so I think the first delay was almost a week.
- 49:34Speaker 17: And that's when we just tried to start the program.
- 49:37Speaker 17: We had the local governor's office basically say he had
- 49:41Speaker 17: to decide what was going on. And even though we
- 49:44Speaker 17: had official permits to do the scientific project, this is
- 49:47Speaker 17: his territory. So he wanted to understand why these people
- 49:49Speaker 17: are calling his office and saying.
- 49:51Speaker 1: And when was that, Andrew? This was the first of July.
- 49:54Speaker 1: First of July. So people tried to shut you down.
- 49:58Speaker 1: You had death threats at your door. Your home was
- 50:01Speaker 1: burglarized and your equipment with all your evidence. I'm sure
- 50:04Speaker 1: it's backed up with your teammates, but your stuff taken.
- 50:07Speaker 1: That's the timeline. This has been a crazy year for you, Andrew.
- 50:11Speaker 1: I'll end on a good question. Since we talked to
- 50:14Speaker 1: you last in April, what else have you discovered? What
- 50:17Speaker 1: else can we talk about or prove about Noah's Ark?
- 50:20Speaker 1: Final question, sir.
- 50:23Speaker 17: Okay, so we've started the most extensive research program with
- 50:27Speaker 17: international scientists involved on this ark site. And so we've
- 50:32Speaker 17: started core drilling for the first season. We brought in
- 50:36Speaker 17: an American military scientist who has basically discovered that there
- 50:40Speaker 17: are man-made, what he believes, are not natural anomalies, like
- 50:46Speaker 17: right angles, rooms, corridors, all of the same material that's
- 50:50Speaker 17: not natural what's around it.
- 50:51Speaker 5: So not the natural dirt around.
- 50:53Speaker 17: And his equipment is used on the Mexican-American border to
- 50:57Speaker 17: find illegal tunnels 100 feet down. So he can scan
- 51:00Speaker 17: really deep. It's a new type of system that he invented.
- 51:03Speaker 17: He's worked on the Mother of All Bombs, MOAB program,
- 51:06Speaker 17: our nuclear program. He's quite an accomplished scientist, but he thought,
- 51:10Speaker 17: you know, I'm getting older. He told me I want
- 51:12Speaker 17: to do something besides design explosives. So he said, I
- 51:15Speaker 17: thought I'd work on Noah's Ark. And so when he
- 51:17Speaker 17: heard about our project, he contacted us and he came over.
- 51:21Speaker 17: His team in August scanned the site. This month, we
- 51:24Speaker 17: just finished the main core drilling program. So now we
- 51:27Speaker 17: have 300 samples. We're going to be testing in the
- 51:30Speaker 17: laboratories here in Turkey and in America.
- 51:32Speaker 1: Are those scans available online on a website? I would
- 51:35Speaker 1: love to see. You're saying so he's proven with the
- 51:37Speaker 1: scans that these corridors would be the corridors of the Ark.
- 51:42Speaker 17: We hope, you know, I don't know what else he says.
- 51:45Speaker 17: He told us it's either Noah's Ark or a spaceship.
- 51:48Speaker 1: What else? I'm going to go with the Ark, Andrew.
- 51:50Speaker 1: I'm going to go with the Ark. We're out of time.
- 51:53Speaker 1: And I know the hour change is way different for
- 51:54Speaker 1: you over there in Turkey. If folks want to learn
- 51:56Speaker 1: more about what you and your team is doing, where
- 51:59Speaker 1: do they go?
- 52:01Speaker 5: Noah's Ark scams.com.
- 52:03Speaker 1: That's pretty easy. NoahsArcScans.com. Andrew, God bless you. As they
- 52:08Speaker 1: say in the service, watch your six, be careful over there,
- 52:12Speaker 1: and keep bringing those Bible stories that we Christians grew
- 52:14Speaker 1: up with to life. God bless you for it.
- 52:18Speaker 5: Thank you, sir.
- 52:18Speaker 1: Yeah, take care. Pretty cool stuff. I hope they're safe.
- 52:22Speaker 1: Can't wait to see and prove that it's Noah's Ark.
- 52:25Speaker 1: All right, you want to get a hold of me?
- 52:26Speaker 1: Give me the info, Chris, if you would, please. We'll
