Latest / Real America with Dan Ball / 10/29/26 -- Dan Ball W/ Steve Hilton, Chad Bianco, Kristin Robbins, Randy Sutton.
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Straight ahead on Real America tonight. There are only five
- 0:03Speaker 1: days left, folks, until, I want to say it, the
- 0:06Speaker 1: most important midterms we have seen. Several races are claiming
- 0:10Speaker 1: the spotlight across our nation, including the gubernatorial race in California,
- 0:15Speaker 1: where non-citizens are already getting busted for registering to vote.
- 0:19Speaker 1: Republican candidate Steve Hilton will join us tonight to break
- 0:21Speaker 1: it all down.
- 0:21Speaker 2: Plus.
- 0:22Speaker 1: Did you hear? We told you last night. Now we're
- 0:24Speaker 1: going to follow up. Investigative journalist James O'Keefe speaking out
- 0:28Speaker 1: now about these bogus charges against him and Cam Higbee
- 0:31Speaker 1: for what? Exposing voting methods in Minnesota that look illegal
- 0:35Speaker 1: as hell. State Representative Kristen Robbins will join in from
- 0:39Speaker 1: Minnesota tonight. And Netflix now facing a huge backlash for
- 0:43Speaker 1: releasing a new documentary about the Cornell alleged rape case
- 0:48Speaker 1: while it's still being investigated. I'm Dan Ball, and Real
- 0:51Speaker 1: America starts right now. Real America.
- 1:07Speaker 2: I'm asking you to do me one favor, pretend that
- 1:10Speaker 2: I'm on the ballot, because when I'm on the ballot,
- 1:12Speaker 2: for whatever reason, 49.2%.
- 1:15Speaker 3: More people show up.
- 1:17Speaker 2: So, and I am on the ballot because all of
- 1:19Speaker 2: these things that we've done, all of these incredible successes
- 1:23Speaker 2: that we have, there's never been, we're not even that
- 1:25Speaker 2: close to two years, there's never been two years like
- 1:29Speaker 2: this for any other president.
- 1:31Speaker 3: We've never had, look at the numbers.
- 1:34Speaker 1: I completely agree, Mr. President. No one has done what
- 1:37Speaker 1: you've done in two years. Good Thursday evening to you folks.
- 1:40Speaker 1: We begin tonight's show with the latest update on the
- 1:43Speaker 1: midterm madness. Five days, folks. That's all we got. Five days.
- 1:47Speaker 1: And the stakes couldn't be higher. Narrow majorities in both chambers, right?
- 1:52Speaker 1: The House and the Senate. Republicans fighting to keep control
- 1:56Speaker 1: so that we can keep the Trump agenda for two
- 1:58Speaker 1: more years. Every House seat, of course, up for grabs.
- 2:03Speaker 1: 33 Senate seats are up for grabs as well. A
- 2:06Speaker 1: few pivotal races could decide it all. And that brings
- 2:09Speaker 1: us to Alaska. Huge update about that ballot scandal there
- 2:12Speaker 1: following that bombshell report we told you about earlier this
- 2:15Speaker 1: week by the New York Times, believe it or not.
- 2:17Speaker 1: On Wednesday, Alaska's Governor Mike DeLevee calling for an investigation
- 2:22Speaker 1: to whether the campaign of the Democrat candidate, Mary Peltola,
- 2:27Speaker 1: violated state laws. The inquiry aims to determine if her
- 2:30Speaker 1: team tried to manipulate the election by secretly recruiting a
- 2:34Speaker 1: candidate named Dan J. Sullivan to confuse the voters with
- 2:39Speaker 1: the Republican incumbent, Dan S. Sullivan. This is what's called
- 2:43Speaker 1: ballot stacking. Now, the Peltola campaign is denying it, of course.
- 2:48Speaker 1: They did not have any connection to the spoiler candidate
- 2:51Speaker 1: But the claims are substantial, and it caught the president's attention,
- 2:56Speaker 1: as it should. Now, that's one big one. Let's head
- 2:58Speaker 1: south from Alaska. Where else would you go? The Senate
- 3:01Speaker 1: race down in Texas, heating up. Republican Attorney General Ken
- 3:05Speaker 1: Paxton running against that socialist nut job, James Talafrico. A
- 3:10Speaker 1: new poll suggests that Talafrico might have a one- to
- 3:13Speaker 1: two-point lead. Seriously, Texans? What are you doing? Other polls
- 3:19Speaker 1: show him neck and neck, but in either case, the
- 3:22Speaker 1: race is going to come down to next Tuesday. The
- 3:24Speaker 1: same thing goes for the Senate race in Michigan. I
- 3:28Speaker 1: can't believe this one's even close. Again, what's going on, Michigan?
- 3:31Speaker 1: Republican patriot Mike Rogers, former congressman, facing off against a radical, anti-American,
- 3:38Speaker 1: socialist Muslim named Abdul Al-Sayed. Supposedly, this clown's in the lead.
- 3:45Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? If that's true, Republicans, you gotta
- 3:48Speaker 1: fight on your hands and you better bring it. Another
- 3:52Speaker 1: close one, over in Maine. Apparently, and you know I'm
- 3:55Speaker 1: not a big fan of Susan Collins, because she's been
- 3:58Speaker 1: pretty much a rhino, but they say she's trailing two
- 4:00Speaker 1: or three points from the Democrat challenger Troy Jackson, who
- 4:04Speaker 1: they just like threw in a few months ago. Remember
- 4:06Speaker 1: when the other scumbag had to bow out? So folks,
- 4:09Speaker 1: with five days to go, you better grab everybody you can,
- 4:13Speaker 1: every patriot on your block, and get them to the polls.
- 4:21Speaker 1: And that brings us to California. Can't forget that one.
- 4:32Speaker 1: California witnessing a historic gubernatorial race. The Republican candidate will
- 4:36Speaker 1: join us in just a moment, Steve Hilton. But there's
- 4:38Speaker 1: some business to address first. In a ruling this week,
- 4:42Speaker 1: an activist judge named David Carter, who was appointed by
- 4:45Speaker 1: Bill Clinton, rejected a DOJ request to stop the state
- 4:48Speaker 1: from counting ballots from non-citizens. The agency was aiming to
- 4:52Speaker 1: sequester about 20,000 ballots from suspected non-citizens, but... Good old
- 4:58Speaker 1: Judge Carter shut down their appeal, claiming it would disenfranchise
- 5:03Speaker 1: eligible voters. What the hell are you talking about, Judge?
- 5:07Speaker 1: The very issue is not letting non-citizens vote. Now, on
- 5:13Speaker 1: that front, three alleged non-citizens on California were just indicted
- 5:17Speaker 1: by a grand jury because of election fraud this week.
- 5:21Speaker 1: Foreign nationals from Canada, Cambodia, and Mexico, all accused of
- 5:26Speaker 1: illegally registering to vote. And they were busted after a
- 5:30Speaker 1: huge sweep last week. Authorities call it the biggest voter
- 5:33Speaker 1: fraud in California's history. So just imagine, folks, if we
- 5:38Speaker 1: didn't have these liberal partisan judges, how much we could do.
- 5:42Speaker 1: Clean up the voter rolls. No more dead people voting.
- 5:45Speaker 1: No more folks in the wrong states voting. No more
- 5:47Speaker 1: illegals voting. Joining me now to sound off about the
- 5:51Speaker 1: midterms and everything that's going on in his state of California,
- 5:55Speaker 1: he is the Republican gubernatorial candidate, Steve Hilton, back on
- 5:59Speaker 1: Real America. Steve, nice to see you, brother. I love
- 6:03Speaker 1: the gas thing you did the other day, coming down
- 6:05Speaker 1: to San Diego and giving out the free gas and
- 6:07Speaker 1: talking to regular folks. Good on you. How you been?
- 6:10Speaker 1: How's the campaign going?
- 6:11Speaker 3: Well, great. Thank you, Dan.
- 6:12Speaker 4: We just did another one today, the gas station takeover,
- 6:15Speaker 4: $ 3 gas, as a preview of what people can expect
- 6:18Speaker 4: when I'm governor in Fresno, in the Central Valley.
- 6:20Speaker 3: We just came from that this morning.
- 6:22Speaker 1: Nice.
- 6:22Speaker 4: And it gave me an opportunity to hit Becerra, my opponent,
- 6:27Speaker 4: on this absolutely unbelievable thing. He just announced his plan
- 6:31Speaker 4: for a mileage tax on top of everything else, on
- 6:34Speaker 4: top of all the gouging that they do. We have
- 6:37Speaker 4: the highest taxes for the worst results. And here they
- 6:40Speaker 4: come again. He wants a mileage tax.
- 6:43Speaker 3: What's that?
- 6:44Speaker 4: They are going to track you every mile you drive
- 6:47Speaker 4: and charge you 10 cents per mile. We calculated, along
- 6:52Speaker 4: with Carl DeMaio, Reform California, who's been hammering this for
- 6:56Speaker 4: a long time, that the cost to the average Californian
- 7:03Speaker 4: is $ 1, 000 a year. Now, if you drive more than that,
- 7:06Speaker 4: it'll be a lot more than that. And guess who
- 7:08Speaker 4: drives more than that? Regular working class Californians, small business owners, contractors,
- 7:14Speaker 4: people who use their car or their truck for work.
- 7:16Speaker 4: So apart from the pure elitism of this, it's just
- 7:20Speaker 4: so unbelievably unfair. It's working class people.
- 7:22Speaker 1: It's disgusting, Steve.
- 7:23Speaker 3: It's disgusting.
- 7:25Speaker 1: I drive 60 miles a day round trip because I
- 7:27Speaker 1: live in the sticks outside of San Diego. So six
- 7:29Speaker 1: times five, I'm doing 300 errands. I'm driving four or
- 7:32Speaker 1: 500 a week. I'm driving 2,000 a month. I'm driving
- 7:35Speaker 1: almost 20,000 miles a year. How are they going to
- 7:38Speaker 1: track me? Because I'm not giving them any of my
- 7:40Speaker 1: damn information.
- 7:41Speaker 3: Well, one of the proposals is to use your phone.
- 7:44Speaker 3: I'm not kidding.
- 7:45Speaker 4: I mean, this is how crazy it's gotten. And so
- 7:51Speaker 4: if anyone needed any more convincing in California, you've got
- 7:55Speaker 4: to vote in this election. This is such a clear example.
- 7:58Speaker 4: What I showed at the press conference this morning at
- 8:02Speaker 4: the gas station was just in the area of.
- 8:05Speaker 1: Driving, right? Just that.
- 8:06Speaker 4: Before you get to all the other things, right? This
- 8:10Speaker 4: is the difference if I win or if Becerra wins.
- 8:13Speaker 4: His plan, which is to continue the same policies in
- 8:16Speaker 4: terms of oil and energy, USC economists have calculated that
- 8:21Speaker 4: we will have $ 8 gas in California if we continue
- 8:24Speaker 4: the way we are. My plan is for $ 3 gas.
- 8:28Speaker 4: Then you've got my plan to cap car registration at
- 8:32Speaker 4: $ 73 a year.
- 8:33Speaker 3: He's just going to let it go higher and higher.
- 8:35Speaker 4: And now you add in the mileage tax that he's
- 8:38Speaker 4: just last night announced. Again, this is the average.
- 8:43Speaker 1: Who announces taxes five days out?
- 8:46Speaker 5: I know, but this is the cost, right?
- 8:48Speaker 4: For the average Californian, the difference, he will charge you $ 2, 856
- 8:54Speaker 4: a year extra just for driving with nothing in return
- 9:00Speaker 4: for that. You don't get anything for that. That's just
- 9:03Speaker 4: pure gouging. extra charges that they're going.
- 9:07Speaker 3: To take for you.
- 9:08Speaker 6: 2,856.
- 9:09Speaker 4: Again, if you drive more than that, it will be
- 9:11Speaker 4: a lot more than that because you use more gas,
- 9:14Speaker 4: higher mileage. And I'm going to stop it because I
- 9:17Speaker 4: will veto the mileage tax. So if this is the
- 9:19Speaker 4: only thing you care about, just get out and vote
- 9:22Speaker 4: to stop Becerra's mileage tax.
- 9:24Speaker 1: There we go. Let me switch gears quick. You probably
- 9:26Speaker 1: heard the intro about the voter fraud And at least
- 9:29Speaker 1: the DOJ is taking it seriously and guiding some folks.
- 9:31Speaker 1: But then you got activist judges stepping in and not
- 9:33Speaker 1: letting people clean up the rolls and go after more
- 9:35Speaker 1: folks in California. Are you worried, Steve? And what is
- 9:40Speaker 1: your team doing to make sure they don't steal this
- 9:42Speaker 1: from you? Because let me run a quick clip. Hold
- 9:44Speaker 1: on one sec. The president just chimed in about your
- 9:46Speaker 1: race specifically and possible voter fraud and cheating. Let's roll
- 9:50Speaker 1: that real quick.
- 9:50Speaker 3: Do you think they're going to try to steal it
- 9:53Speaker 3: from Steve Hilton?
- 9:54Speaker 7: Of course, they are. California is very corrupt. The elections
- 9:57Speaker 7: are extremely corrupt. The judge should not have done that,
- 10:01Speaker 7: but we'll appeal that, of course. We found 20,000, but
- 10:04Speaker 7: there are hundreds of thousands of bad ballots, bad votes
- 10:09Speaker 7: in California, millions, in my opinion, millions. It's a corrupt
- 10:13Speaker 7: state and very, very corrupt elections.
- 10:17Speaker 1: You're worried?
- 10:18Speaker 4: We're fighting for every, I mean, there's a very simple phrase,
- 10:21Speaker 4: which is, you know, the president made famous in the
- 10:24Speaker 4: last campaign, too big to rig. That's actually the best
- 10:27Speaker 4: thing we can do right now. It's good that we've
- 10:31Speaker 4: got the federal authorities, Bill O'Salley's doing a fantastic job,
- 10:36Speaker 4: that at least we've now got somebody, because in California,
- 10:41Speaker 4: they don't care, trying to protect the integrity of our elections.
- 10:46Speaker 4: Our job as a campaign in the next five days
- 10:49Speaker 4: is to get every single vote we possibly can. That's
- 10:52Speaker 4: what we're doing. Got a rally in Fresno tonight, tomorrow
- 10:55Speaker 4: rally in Sacramento, back in L.A. on Saturday and Sunday.
- 10:58Speaker 4: So we're just going to be fighting for every last
- 11:00Speaker 4: vote right to the end. And actually, we can win
- 11:03Speaker 4: this election. This is the number I always give, which
- 11:05Speaker 4: is our estimate of the number of votes that it
- 11:08Speaker 4: will take for me to win this election, not just
- 11:11Speaker 4: to do well, but to win is 6 million votes.
- 11:13Speaker 4: In 2024, President Trump in California got 6.1 million votes.
- 11:19Speaker 4: If everybody who voted Republican in 2024 votes for me
- 11:23Speaker 4: this time, I'll win the election.
- 11:27Speaker 1: We need every Republican that's registered out there, and I
- 11:29Speaker 1: believe we've got over 6 million registered now. Get your
- 11:31Speaker 1: butts to the polls. If you want $ 3 gas, and
- 11:34Speaker 1: you want the border closed, and you want common damn sense, Steve,
- 11:38Speaker 1: I know they're wrapping me up with you because you've
- 11:39Speaker 1: got to get back on the trail. What's the website?
- 11:42Speaker 4: Steve Hilton for governor dot com. And actually a really
- 11:46Speaker 4: useful thing these days in the last days. Follow me
- 11:48Speaker 4: on social media at Steve Hilton X and share what
- 11:51Speaker 4: we put out because we're putting out voting information, how
- 11:54Speaker 4: you can do ballot harvesting. So we beat them at
- 11:57Speaker 4: their own game.
- 11:57Speaker 3: Yes.
- 11:58Speaker 1: All the really.
- 11:59Speaker 4: Important things in this last stage at Steve Hilton X
- 12:02Speaker 4: on TikTok, Instagram, X, Facebook, all the platforms. Follow me
- 12:06Speaker 4: on social media. And we're going to really go for
- 12:09Speaker 4: it right up until the last minute.
- 12:11Speaker 1: You got to get it, Steve. You know, I'm a Californian.
- 12:14Speaker 1: My wife and I are about to expand our family.
- 12:17Speaker 1: And I do not want a Becerra governor in this state.
- 12:21Speaker 1: Steve Hilton, Californians. Thank you, Steve. God bless you. Get
- 12:24Speaker 1: back out there, brother.
- 12:25Speaker 3: Great to be with you.
- 12:25Speaker 1: Thanks. Nice seeing you. All right, coming up after the break,
- 12:28Speaker 1: independent journalist James O'Keefe responding now to those bogus charges
- 12:33Speaker 1: filed against him and the other independent journalist Cam Higbee
- 12:36Speaker 1: for their undercover reporting exposing election fraud in Minnesota. We've
- 12:41Speaker 1: got the on-camera statement from James and then reaction from
- 12:44Speaker 1: a Minnesota state lawmaker.
- 12:45Speaker 5: Plus.
- 12:46Speaker 1: Did you hear there's a nationwide manhunt going on right
- 12:48Speaker 1: now for a murderer who was serving a life sentence
- 12:50Speaker 1: in Tennessee? Which begs the question, what the heck is
- 12:53Speaker 1: going on with the Tennessee prison system? This after they
- 12:56Speaker 1: botched two executions in the last year. Sheriff Chad Bianco
- 13:00Speaker 1: will sound off about that one. Then a bit later
- 13:02Speaker 1: on the program, an update on the Cornell University alleged
- 13:06Speaker 1: rape case. Things are heating up. From a no-confidence vote
- 13:09Speaker 1: on the current administration to New York Attorney General Tisha
- 13:12Speaker 1: James possibly being removed. All that and more. We come back.
- 13:16Speaker 1: Don't go away. For all of our viewers out there

- 13:54Speaker 8: Today, we are charging two individuals, James O'Keefe and Cameron Higbee,
- 14:00Speaker 8: with felony counts of unlawful voting and identity theft. Having
- 14:05Speaker 8: entered polling places without legitimate purposes and intentionally misrepresenting their
- 14:11Speaker 8: identity to election judges in applying for a ballot, the
- 14:14Speaker 8: charges filed today are appropriate to address the conduct of Mr.
- 14:18Speaker 8: O'Keefe and Mr.
- 14:20Speaker 1: Higbee. Hey, Madam Prosecutor, you ever heard read between the lines?
- 14:25Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? First of all, they never cast
- 14:28Speaker 1: a vote. They were undercover journalists trying to expose how
- 14:32Speaker 1: corrupt your election processes are over there in Minnesota, and
- 14:36Speaker 1: now you're charging them with identity theft and voter fraud.
- 14:40Speaker 1: If this was the New York Times or some liberal rag,
- 14:42Speaker 1: you wouldn't even have the guts to sue them. But
- 14:44Speaker 1: because they're independent journalists and it's our friends James and Cam, yeah.
- 14:52Speaker 1: You ever heard that phrase, every accusation is an admission?
- 14:56Speaker 1: Our good friends, two independent journalists, again, who were trying
- 15:00Speaker 1: to just expose the problems in Minnesota, now are facing
- 15:04Speaker 1: felony charges. That ridiculous lady there, Mary Moriarty, she's the
- 15:09Speaker 1: attorney that's now prosecuting them in Hennepin County, Minnesota. The
- 15:14Speaker 1: charges just dropping early this week. We talked about it
- 15:17Speaker 1: on the show last night. As a reminder, the charges
- 15:20Speaker 1: go as follows. Felony, unlawful voting. Felony, identity theft. Really?
- 15:27Speaker 1: This was groundbreaking undercover work by James and Cam to
- 15:31Speaker 1: show how ridiculous you Democrats are in Minnesota. That somebody
- 15:35Speaker 1: can walk in and say, hey, I'm vouching for up
- 15:39Speaker 1: to eight people. It's literally called the voter vouching system.
- 15:42Speaker 1: You don't have to show jack squat. He did this
- 15:45Speaker 1: back in August, and now all of a sudden, they're
- 15:48Speaker 1: trying to charge him? Like a week before the election?
- 15:51Speaker 1: If you don't remember what they did, which to me
- 15:54Speaker 1: was not illegal when you're acting as an undercover journalist,
- 15:58Speaker 1: take a look one more time.
- 16:00Speaker 9: Again, in the video, which I've reviewed, I called James
- 16:04Speaker 9: last night. They did not sign anything with a fake ID.
- 16:08Speaker 5: They verbalized one because they're not going to.
- 16:11Speaker 1: Walk in and go, I'm James O'Keefe. And they never voted.
- 16:33Speaker 1: James posted a video last night in response. Take a look.
- 16:37Speaker 9: Minnesota has just charged both myself and fellow journalist Cam
- 16:41Speaker 9: Higbee with two felony counts in retaliation for a bombshell
- 16:45Speaker 9: investigative report on voter vouching laws that we did August 11th.
- 16:49Speaker 9: We stand by our reporting. This is an attempt to
- 16:52Speaker 9: criminalize investigative journalism. The charges are an attempt to distract
- 16:56Speaker 9: from what we exposed as insecure elections in Minnesota. Now
- 17:00Speaker 9: this case has become a landmark First Amendment case where
- 17:04Speaker 9: everyone's right to speak truth to power has just been
- 17:08Speaker 9: put on the line. This from today's press conference featuring
- 17:11Speaker 9: the chief prosecutor for Hennepin County, Minnesota.
- 17:14Speaker 8: Today we are charging two individuals, James O'Keefe and Cameron Higbee,
- 17:20Speaker 8: with felony counts of unlawful voting and identity theft.
- 17:24Speaker 9: Mary Moriarty, the Hennepin County attorney, even says that we
- 17:28Speaker 9: could do jail time for our investigative reporting.
- 17:31Speaker 8: They could do some local jail time.
- 17:33Speaker 9: We've received the charging document that lists two felony counts,
- 17:37Speaker 9: count one, identity theft, knowingly misrepresenting identity and applying for
- 17:42Speaker 9: a voting ballot, and count two, unlawful voting, knowingly misrepresenting
- 17:47Speaker 9: our identity and applying for a voting ballot. Two counts
- 17:50Speaker 9: with the exact same justification beneath each count. In the
- 17:53Speaker 9: report we did, we clearly stop and walk away before
- 17:57Speaker 9: any voting ballot is even touched.
- 17:59Speaker 10: Thank you so much, ma'am.
- 18:00Speaker 1: I'll see you. Thank you.
- 18:01Speaker 10: We go get to Muhammad, we come back.
- 18:03Speaker 9: Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty even admits that Mai and
- 18:06Speaker 9: Higby's intent was to act as reporters.
- 18:10Speaker 8: A group of people were attempting to cast doubt on
- 18:13Speaker 8: the state's vouching system. I think it's pretty clear they
- 18:16Speaker 8: did not intend to vote.
- 18:18Speaker 9: Hennepin County Attorney Moriarty even says there is no such
- 18:23Speaker 9: thing as undercover journalism when looking into election loopholes.
- 18:28Speaker 8: If you identify as a journalist, there is no such
- 18:31Speaker 8: thing as undercover investigation in the polling place. You have
- 18:35Speaker 8: to identify yourself as a journalist in the polling place,
- 18:38Speaker 8: which they did not do.
- 18:39Speaker 9: Wrong as a matter of constitutional law. The First Amendment
- 18:43Speaker 9: allows reporters to show up on election day and ask
- 18:46Speaker 9: questions in polling booths, but don't take my word for it.
- 18:49Speaker 9: Listen to former Attorney General of the United States, Eric Holder,
- 18:53Speaker 9: no friend of mine, talking about myself on an almost
- 18:57Speaker 9: identical investigation we did in Washington, D.C.
- 19:00Speaker 2: In 2012.
- 19:00Speaker 10: It was offered Holder's D.C.
- 19:03Speaker 1: Primary ballot to vote in that election.
- 19:06Speaker 3: Do you have an Eric Holder?
- 19:07Speaker 6: But I think what I drew from that video was
- 19:09Speaker 6: that That guy was very careful not to say he
- 19:13Speaker 6: was Eric Holder, not to actually get a ballot. He
- 19:16Speaker 6: didn't do the kinds of things that would have subjected
- 19:18Speaker 6: him to criminal prosecution.
- 19:20Speaker 10: The Minnesota prosecutor then says.
- 19:22Speaker 8: There's a difference between intent to vote and intent to
- 19:26Speaker 8: apply for a ballot. The application of a ballot in
- 19:30Speaker 8: and of itself is a multi-step process. I can't anticipate
- 19:33Speaker 8: what their defense is. I'm sure we'll hear from them.
- 19:36Speaker 9: Our defense is the shield of the First Amendment to
- 19:39Speaker 9: hold government accountable to the people.
- 19:41Speaker 10: We didn't apply for a ballot.
- 19:42Speaker 9: We were there talking to election clerks, posing hypotheticals, and
- 19:47Speaker 9: getting answers so the Americans could know what was happening
- 19:50Speaker 9: in the elections. Many people in the United States did
- 19:53Speaker 9: not even know that you could vouch for eight people,
- 19:55Speaker 9: and this investigative report educated them.
- 19:58Speaker 10: By the way, we.
- 19:59Speaker 9: Conducted training and specifically told each journalist never to sign
- 20:03Speaker 9: an affidavit, never to procure a ballot, never to apply
- 20:06Speaker 9: for a ballot, or even touch ballot. We even did
- 20:09Speaker 9: exercises training our reporters to say the name is rather
- 20:13Speaker 9: than my name is. But when you go in the
- 20:16Speaker 9: ballot location, you cannot say you are that person.
- 20:19Speaker 10: So you guys are doing this tomorrow.
- 20:20Speaker 5: You cannot say you're them. You say, hey, do you
- 20:23Speaker 5: have whatever the name is? Do you have this person?
- 20:27Speaker 5: It's a crime for you to say I am this person.
- 20:32Speaker 9: We were very intentional about what we were there to do,
- 20:41Speaker 9: namely to inform the public. The prosecutor even says we
- 20:45Speaker 9: stopped short of signing any oath or carrying out any fraud.
- 20:49Speaker 8: Both men stopped short of signing the oath. we all
- 20:52Speaker 8: sign before receiving our ballot.
- 20:54Speaker 9: The reporters at the press conference even asked the prosecutor,
- 20:57Speaker 9: what exactly are we being prosecuted for?
- 21:00Speaker 3: You talked about that they did not sign the vote.
- 21:04Speaker 8: Correct.
- 21:05Speaker 3: Does that give them a way to.
- 21:06Speaker 5: Say that we didn't commit a crime then because we
- 21:08Speaker 5: didn't take it all the way? Can you explain why
- 21:10Speaker 5: you think it's still a crime because... Yes.
- 21:13Speaker 10: So what exactly are we being prosecuted for? What is
- 21:16Speaker 10: this really about?
- 21:18Speaker 9: Make no mistake, this is about prosecuting the press. And
- 21:21Speaker 9: this is not the first time they have done this
- 21:23Speaker 9: to me. In New Orleans, Louisiana, they falsely accused me
- 21:26Speaker 9: of a felony and later admitted there was no felony.
- 21:29Speaker 1: The U.S.
- 21:29Speaker 9: Attorneys involved in that case eventually were disbarred. The federal
- 21:33Speaker 9: prosecutor was so furious about it, he even literally threw
- 21:37Speaker 9: my book at me.
- 21:38Speaker 1: You're a nasty little cowardly spud. You are scum. I recused.
- 21:42Speaker 1: I recused.
- 21:43Speaker 11: Here.
- 21:44Speaker 1: I recused from your case.
- 21:45Speaker 9: Then there was the case when the FBI came a-knocking
- 21:48Speaker 9: at my house. to get into my cell phone, unlocking
- 21:56Speaker 9: my phone to get access to the contents of my
- 21:58Speaker 9: signal in order to intimidate me and to intimidate the
- 22:01Speaker 9: sources that come to me. It was such a landmark
- 22:04Speaker 9: First Amendment case that the American Civil Liberties Union filed
- 22:07Speaker 9: amicus and the Reporters Committee.
- 22:09Speaker 10: For Freedom of the Press, even they came to my defense.
- 22:13Speaker 9: I've been to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals challenging
- 22:16Speaker 9: the constitutionality of Oregon's recording laws, got a reversal there.
- 22:19Speaker 9: Went up to the First Circuit Court of Appeals in
- 22:21Speaker 9: Massachusetts to challenge the constitutionality of the laws there. We
- 22:25Speaker 9: won a partial victory there. In another case I won
- 22:29Speaker 9: at directed verdict, the Shirley Teeter case, they had six
- 22:32Speaker 9: pro bono lawyers going after me. Federal judge pointed that out,
- 22:37Speaker 9: and they ended up writing a check to me. I
- 22:41Speaker 9: have been sued so many times and had so many
- 22:44Speaker 9: criminal threats made against me that even the media that
- 22:48Speaker 9: hates me is forced to acknowledge that I have established
- 22:52Speaker 9: legal First Amendment precedent throughout the nation. We even overturned
- 22:56Speaker 9: a jury verdict against me in the DC Circuit Court
- 22:59Speaker 9: of Appeals last month before a panel of judges appointed
- 23:04Speaker 9: by Democrats. We convinced that panel to create a new
- 23:07Speaker 9: standard for undercover journalism across the board.
- 23:10Speaker 10: It's now called the O'Keeffe Principle.
- 23:12Speaker 9: The politics of fear and weaponized lawfare do not seem
- 23:17Speaker 9: to work against me.
- 23:18Speaker 10: It never has.
- 23:20Speaker 9: Actually, it has always backfired against the people who come
- 23:24Speaker 9: after me.
- 23:24Speaker 1: Why is that?
- 23:26Speaker 10: It's because what's at issue here is not actually political.
- 23:29Speaker 10: It's fundamental.
- 23:31Speaker 9: This is about whether citizens still have a right to
- 23:34Speaker 9: ask questions of their government servants. And such a fundamental
- 23:38Speaker 9: right will always prevail if you do not cower at
- 23:42Speaker 9: their threats. And the thing about me is, I actually
- 23:45Speaker 9: never settle. Most people find lawsuits stressful. The process becomes
- 23:49Speaker 9: a form of punishment.
- 23:51Speaker 10: But not to me. I actually love this process. I
- 23:55Speaker 10: enjoy this process.
- 23:57Speaker 9: I'm going to have fun with this process because it
- 24:01Speaker 9: allows me to expose injustice at the highest levels. There
- 24:05Speaker 9: is nothing in life as sweet as justice. And there
- 24:09Speaker 9: is nothing as motivating to me as injustice. And in
- 24:13Speaker 9: this case, they have put your right to speak on
- 24:17Speaker 9: the line. Everything that we believe in as Americans has
- 24:21Speaker 9: been put on the line. But it does seem to
- 24:23Speaker 9: indicate the direction of where our country is going. I
- 24:27Speaker 9: recognize that we're well past the point of being completely
- 24:30Speaker 9: divided in this country. But this case is not about
- 24:33Speaker 9: what divides us. It's about what unites us. What unites
- 24:37Speaker 9: us is so much stronger than what divides us, because
- 24:41Speaker 9: the right to question authority and educate people matters to
- 24:45Speaker 9: people on all sides. Ironically, the statement put out by
- 24:48Speaker 9: the prosecutor today on social media restricts people from even
- 24:51Speaker 9: commenting about this matter. I am summoned to appear before
- 24:56Speaker 9: the Hennepin County judge in criminal court on November 16th,
- 25:00Speaker 9: just four days after our Independent Citizen Journalism Gala, featuring
- 25:05Speaker 9: many people who don't all agree with each other on
- 25:08Speaker 9: matters of public policy, but who all stand united behind
- 25:12Speaker 9: the First Amendment. That is why I'm calling on all Americans,
- 25:16Speaker 9: not just independent journalists, but especially those in mainstream or
- 25:20Speaker 9: legacy media institutions, to take a stand with us for
- 25:24Speaker 9: the right to freedom of speech and the First Amendment,
- 25:27Speaker 9: and to send a message to the prosecutors in Minnesota
- 25:30Speaker 9: that the politics of fear will not prevail in the
- 25:35Speaker 9: United States of America.
- 25:37Speaker 1: Joining us now to weigh in on these ridiculous, bogus
- 25:40Speaker 1: felony charges against my friends Okay? And that's what they are.
- 25:45Speaker 1: I consider them great journalists and friends. Kristen Robbins, Republican
- 25:48Speaker 1: member of the Minnesota House of Representatives, serving the 37th District,
- 25:52Speaker 1: also chair of the Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight
- 25:55Speaker 1: Policy Committee. Kristen, nice to see you again. I don't
- 25:58Speaker 1: know if you're as upset as I am about this,
- 26:00Speaker 1: but since I've dedicated 30... four years of my life
- 26:04Speaker 1: to television and journalism, I'm pretty damn offended that the
- 26:09Speaker 1: Hennepin County DA thinks they can go out and charge
- 26:11Speaker 1: two journalists with doing their job. They were trying to
- 26:15Speaker 1: expose how this vouching system in your crazy elections in
- 26:19Speaker 1: your state works and operates. And to me, it's illegal.
- 26:23Speaker 1: How do you prove the person vouching for the eight
- 26:25Speaker 1: people are legal citizens?
- 26:29Speaker 11: Right, and I think that's the bigger picture here.
- 26:31Speaker 1: Thank you.
- 26:31Speaker 12: The point is that Minnesota's election laws need serious reform.
- 26:36Speaker 12: And we had a hearing on voter fraud in our
- 26:38Speaker 12: Fraud Prevention Committee last year. Last summer in 2025, two
- 26:44Speaker 12: people were charged and convicted of felony voter fraud for
- 26:50Speaker 12: registering five to 600 people with fake voter registrations. So
- 26:54Speaker 12: the Democrats say this doesn't happen, but it does.
- 26:57Speaker 11: And the other things that happen are the vouching.
- 26:59Speaker 12: It's up to eight people if you bring them into
- 27:02Speaker 12: the polling place on election day. But if you're a
- 27:05Speaker 12: worker in an assisted living or in a senior living place,
- 27:09Speaker 12: you can vouch for.
- 27:09Speaker 11: An unlimited amount of seniors.
- 27:12Speaker 1: What? So, yes.
- 27:13Speaker 12: And there's no provisional balloting, which most blue states have.
- 27:16Speaker 12: So in most blue states, if you have voter registration
- 27:19Speaker 12: on the day of election, those ballots are set aside
- 27:22Speaker 12: until you can prove the ID of the people who
- 27:24Speaker 12: registered on election day. In Minnesota, we don't have provisional balloting.
- 27:27Speaker 12: So those are rolled right into everybody else's vote totals.
- 27:31Speaker 12: So we have a serious need for election reform in Minnesota.
- 27:34Speaker 13: Is it?
- 27:34Speaker 11: And that is why.
- 27:36Speaker 12: I'm hoping we have a real good outcome for our
- 27:38Speaker 12: Secretary of State race here in Minnesota.
- 27:41Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, you've heard that phrase, banana republic.
- 27:43Speaker 1: Minnesota is right up there. I mean, you wonder why
- 27:47Speaker 1: people say, I'm staying home. What the hell's the point?
- 27:50Speaker 1: I don't even trust the system. My vote doesn't count.
- 27:52Speaker 1: You've heard the phrases. When you look at your.
- 27:54Speaker 11: State- I have, but that's why we have to encourage people.
- 27:56Speaker 1: I know, listen, I'm not telling people to stay home.
- 27:58Speaker 1: I want them to come out in full force because
- 28:00Speaker 1: we have to, like Trump, too big to rig. We
- 28:02Speaker 1: need more people out to make up for this vouching
- 28:06Speaker 1: system in your state and other blue states that have
- 28:08Speaker 1: these crazy rules where you're not going, show me you're
- 28:12Speaker 1: a resident and show me your ID. If you're not
- 28:15Speaker 1: a citizen and you're not a resident of this area,
- 28:18Speaker 1: you're not voting here. And I get now why all
- 28:20Speaker 1: blue states, not all, but a majority of blue states
- 28:23Speaker 1: just blow that out the window. Just show up and go, yep,
- 28:25Speaker 1: I'm a citizen. Let me vote. I live here.
- 28:27Speaker 3: Okay.
- 28:28Speaker 1: That's ridiculous. It is.
- 28:31Speaker 11: And our citizens in Minnesota, they don't like that system.
- 28:35Speaker 12: Across the country, voter ID has huge support, whether you're
- 28:39Speaker 12: Republican or Democrat. These common sense reforms, these common sense
- 28:42Speaker 12: protections for democracy, we need to get in place.
- 28:46Speaker 1: Can I just switch gears real quick before I lose you?
- 28:48Speaker 1: I know you're on the trail. You're out there working.
- 28:49Speaker 1: I can tell you're in the car. Can we just
- 28:51Speaker 1: talk real quick about your embattled Congresswoman, Ms. Ilhan Omar?
- 28:57Speaker 1: You saw what they're doing, the investigation, the raid on
- 28:59Speaker 1: the House, whether it's the Feeding the future fraud that
- 29:03Speaker 1: she's involved in and her family and her friends and
- 29:05Speaker 1: her staffers or what age was when she came here?
- 29:09Speaker 1: What is her real name? There's so much fraud around
- 29:11Speaker 1: this lady. I think she needs to resign like yesterday.
- 29:14Speaker 1: I just wanted to get your take on Miss Congresswoman
- 29:16Speaker 1: Ilhan Omar.
- 29:18Speaker 12: Yes, these rumors have been going around in Minnesota since
- 29:21Speaker 12: she was a member of the Minnesota House back in 2016.
- 29:24Speaker 12: And so I think it's good that we are finally
- 29:27Speaker 12: getting actual facts and actual investigation on these issues. And clearly,
- 29:32Speaker 12: we were trying to subpoena her for her communications between
- 29:35Speaker 12: the Feeding Our Future fraudsters and her office. As you mentioned,
- 29:38Speaker 12: one of her staffers has been charged and convicted in
- 29:41Speaker 12: Feeding Our Future. And the guy who was extradited back
- 29:44Speaker 12: after living abroad in Kenya to escape justice, he came
- 29:48Speaker 12: back this summer.
- 29:49Speaker 11: There are communications between him and her office. So we
- 29:51Speaker 11: need to get to the bottom of this. She's a
- 29:54Speaker 11: public servant.
- 29:55Speaker 12: Those communications should be available to the public so we
- 29:57Speaker 12: can see what her office relationship was. And I think
- 30:01Speaker 12: these other issues about her finances and her identity need
- 30:04Speaker 12: to be clarified and we need to get to the facts.
- 30:07Speaker 11: So I'm glad the feds are working on it.
- 30:09Speaker 1: Amen. Kristen, best of luck to you and the Republicans
- 30:13Speaker 1: in Minnesota. Give them hell.
- 30:15Speaker 11: Thank you.
- 30:16Speaker 1: Yep. Take care. Alrighty, straight ahead. I think, and I
- 30:21Speaker 1: think this is a fair statement to make, I think
- 30:23Speaker 1: the Tennessee prison system has some problems and might need
- 30:27Speaker 1: a bit of an overhaul. Why do I say that?
- 30:30Speaker 1: Two botched executions in the last year. Now a murderer
- 30:34Speaker 1: serving a life sentence escaped from one of their prisons.
- 30:39Speaker 1: Now there's a national manhunt going on to track him down.
- 30:42Speaker 1: A good friend, Sheriff Chad Bianco, is gonna weigh in
- 30:44Speaker 1: on the mess in Tennessee's prison system when we come back.

- 31:32Speaker 1: sticking with us. So it has been a tough year
- 31:35Speaker 1: for Tennessee. What do I mean about that? Well, we
- 31:38Speaker 1: told you about this a few weeks back. First, they've had,
- 31:42Speaker 1: is it two in the last year? I'm pretty sure,
- 31:44Speaker 1: but I think over the last several decades, even more.
- 31:47Speaker 1: But they've had at least two botched executions for death
- 31:51Speaker 1: row inmates within their prison system. Then they let Two
- 31:57Speaker 1: inmates escaped from prison? What, you ask? They both escaped,
- 32:01Speaker 1: I'm told, in October. One of them is still on
- 32:05Speaker 1: the run. Here's what we know so far. His name?
- 32:08Speaker 1: Jacob Allen Morley. I'm told he's 28 years old. He
- 32:12Speaker 1: escaped from the Northwest Correctional Complex in Tiptonville, Tennessee this
- 32:17Speaker 1: past Sunday. Prison officials noticed he was missing during a
- 32:20Speaker 1: head count and immediately checked the surveillance footage, which showed
- 32:23Speaker 1: him breaching the facility's perimeter fence in his uniform, then
- 32:28Speaker 1: stealing a truck to flee. Now, by the way, he's
- 32:33Speaker 1: now considered one of the state's most wanted. The man
- 32:36Speaker 1: for him, very urgent. Tennessee officials working with not just
- 32:40Speaker 1: local state but federal authorities, including the U.S. Marshals Service.
- 32:44Speaker 1: They're now offering a $ 15, 000 reward for any information leading
- 32:49Speaker 1: to his arrest. Speaking of leads, his getaway truck was
- 32:53Speaker 1: found parked behind a shopping center in southern Illinois on
- 32:58Speaker 1: Tuesday morning. That's over 140 miles away from Tiptonville, Tennessee.
- 33:04Speaker 1: As you can see there, it's a white Ford F-350.
- 33:07Speaker 1: Local law enforcement processed the truck for forensic It appears
- 33:11Speaker 1: Morley didn't leave any clues behind. Looks like he's headed north,
- 33:15Speaker 1: maybe for the border, maybe for Canada. Oh, by the way,
- 33:18Speaker 1: did I mention the two guys that got out? I mean,
- 33:21Speaker 1: you're talking about murderers here. So I have a question.
- 33:25Speaker 1: You're botching executions. Murderers are escaping. Talk about a nightmare.
- 33:30Speaker 1: Between those botched executions, these escapees, it's no wonder that
- 33:35Speaker 1: the state's prison chief is now officially stepping down at
- 33:39Speaker 1: the end of the month, which is now, pretty much.
- 33:42Speaker 1: Frank Strada, commissioner of the Department of Corrections, resigned earlier
- 33:45Speaker 1: this month. His departure becomes official on the 31st. Strada,
- 33:50Speaker 1: who was appointed back in 2023, specifically tasked with reforming
- 33:55Speaker 1: Tennessee's execution system after previous missteps. Whoops, you had some
- 34:01Speaker 1: errors while you were the boss, pal. Again, two botched
- 34:06Speaker 1: executions in less than a year. And the one everybody's
- 34:09Speaker 1: been talking about is Krista Pike. Remember her name? Convicted,
- 34:13Speaker 1: sentenced for the murder, heinous murder back in 96 of
- 34:16Speaker 1: a 20-year-old. I think it was one of her classmates.
- 34:19Speaker 1: She survived two lethal doses about a month ago. She's
- 34:24Speaker 1: now evidently awake. Family's talking about a lawsuit. What the... Again, meanwhile,
- 34:31Speaker 1: the governor down there, Billy has paused all state executions
- 34:35Speaker 1: for the rest of the year. The doctor involved in
- 34:38Speaker 1: the failed attempts, both Mark Fowler, now facing a lot
- 34:42Speaker 1: of questions. And so that leads us to our guest
- 34:45Speaker 1: tonight to say what in the world is going on
- 34:48Speaker 1: down in Tennessee? Our good friend, Riverside County, California, Sheriff.
- 34:52Speaker 1: Chad Bianco joining us now to weigh in. Chad, nice
- 34:55Speaker 1: to see you. You've had to orchestrate manhunts for people
- 34:59Speaker 1: before in Riverside County. You operate a massive jail. It's
- 35:02Speaker 1: not a prison, but still similar type of situation. So
- 35:05Speaker 1: let me start with the manhunt because that's the most important.
- 35:08Speaker 1: We've got to find this murderer, right? And then we'll
- 35:10Speaker 1: go to the botched executions and just how you should
- 35:12Speaker 1: be running a prison or jail system to keep the
- 35:15Speaker 1: bad guys in. Welcome back, Chad.
- 35:18Speaker 13: Thank you.
- 35:19Speaker 5: Good to be here, Dan.
- 35:20Speaker 13: Yeah, the escape is definitely something that we all.
- 35:24Speaker 5: Have to be worried about.
- 35:25Speaker 13: He's there because he murdered someone, and we need to
- 35:29Speaker 13: get him back as quick as possible. I'm sure they
- 35:32Speaker 13: will find him relatively quickly. I know the federal authorities
- 35:36Speaker 13: are involved, the marshal's office. This is what they do.
- 35:39Speaker 13: They'll eventually find him, especially in today's day and age.
- 35:43Speaker 5: You need money. You need contacts.
- 35:45Speaker 13: And the You can't just, it's almost impossible now to
- 35:49Speaker 13: go off the grid and not be found.
- 35:50Speaker 5: So we'll find him.
- 35:52Speaker 1: Yeah, there's cameras everywhere. Here's my deal. Excuse me. This
- 35:55Speaker 1: is a murderer. He had a life sentence. So he
- 35:59Speaker 1: wasn't on death row because death row obviously is maximum security.
- 36:02Speaker 1: I haven't heard of a death row person escaping. But still,
- 36:05Speaker 1: if you're in for life and you're in a state prison,
- 36:08Speaker 1: not a local jail, and I'm not saying the security
- 36:10Speaker 1: is less at a jail, but from what I've seen,
- 36:13Speaker 1: prisons are more heavily fortified, correct?
- 36:16Speaker 5: They should be.
- 36:17Speaker 1: They should be.
- 36:19Speaker 5: Yes, you've got someone there with nothing to lose.
- 36:23Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't get how he got out. That's number
- 36:26Speaker 1: one in this day and age. And then we'll go
- 36:30Speaker 1: on to the botched executions in just a second. But
- 36:34Speaker 1: it looks like, and again, the new guy took over
- 36:36Speaker 1: three years ago. He's out. Who was running it before?
- 36:39Speaker 1: It's the same doctor who's botched stuff. Something needs to
- 36:42Speaker 1: be overhauled. They noticed it was a problem. The governor
- 36:44Speaker 1: even said it was. And yet this has all happened
- 36:48Speaker 1: in less than a year's time, Chad. If you were
- 36:50Speaker 1: in charge, what would you be doing differently?
- 36:53Speaker 13: Well, you have to be doing a lot differently. And
- 36:56Speaker 13: I don't know much about Tennessee prisons. I can compare
- 36:59Speaker 13: them to California and tell you that over the last
- 37:04Speaker 13: decade or so, there is definitely a movement here to
- 37:09Speaker 13: make prisons more hospitable and more country clubbish for inmates
- 37:17Speaker 13: at the expense of The prison guards that are working there,
- 37:21Speaker 13: it creates all kinds of problems. And when you have that,
- 37:24Speaker 13: and I did hear that they have a personnel shortage
- 37:27Speaker 13: where they're down a lot of people, but then hire them.
- 37:30Speaker 13: I mean, get the people in there so you fix
- 37:32Speaker 13: that so the prisons are run safe and they're run secure.
- 37:35Speaker 5: You owe that to the public. So it's hard to
- 37:38Speaker 5: say what happened.
- 37:39Speaker 13: I know there was a big gap between the time
- 37:41Speaker 13: he escaped and the time they found him, which is
- 37:44Speaker 13: astonishing to me. I run a very, very large jail
- 37:48Speaker 13: that has an outside area with chain link fence and
- 37:51Speaker 13: what you typical think of a prison yard or even
- 37:54Speaker 13: what we've seen from the pictures. And we've talked about
- 37:58Speaker 13: it and we can't imagine how anyone could get away
- 38:01Speaker 13: from there without anyone noticing.
- 38:03Speaker 1: Yeah. Okay. You have to get out of your cell.
- 38:07Speaker 1: Then you have to get out of the, I think
- 38:08Speaker 1: they call them cell block. You get through the gate
- 38:10Speaker 1: or door out of that block. There's two. Then there's
- 38:13Speaker 1: got to be probably another door. Then the main door.
- 38:15Speaker 1: Then a gate at the front. I mean, at least
- 38:18Speaker 1: five checkpoints, I would think, maybe four, that he got through.
- 38:22Speaker 1: And then, what, did he hotwire a truck? He got
- 38:23Speaker 1: in a truck in the video there and took off.
- 38:26Speaker 1: And then they don't notice until a head check hours later,
- 38:28Speaker 1: and he's already way up in Illinois. Sounds like he's
- 38:30Speaker 1: heading for Canada. Anyway, I hope they catch him. This
- 38:33Speaker 1: is ridiculous. Let me just real quick go to the
- 38:35Speaker 1: execution part and get your take on that. Same doc.
- 38:38Speaker 1: And you don't fire the doc? I mean, again, these wardens,
- 38:44Speaker 1: the superintendent of prison, all of them, I think more
- 38:46Speaker 1: heads need to roll.
- 38:48Speaker 5: There does, I mean, it's incompetence.
- 38:51Speaker 1: Thank you.
- 38:52Speaker 13: I've heard that the reason was that the doctor missed
- 38:54Speaker 13: a vein and so it wasn't actually going straight into
- 38:58Speaker 13: the heart and the bloodstream and the vein had slipped
- 39:01Speaker 13: or vein had moved.
- 39:01Speaker 3: Twice though, Jen?
- 39:03Speaker 1: Twice?
- 39:04Speaker 13: Yeah, that's what I'm telling you. There needs to be
- 39:07Speaker 13: a different doctor. They need to find somebody else that
- 39:09Speaker 13: can hit veins. But, you know, about executions and about,
- 39:14Speaker 13: you know, the thing here in California, they say it's inhumane.
- 39:17Speaker 13: And so there's been times where it's been excessive, where
- 39:22Speaker 13: these chemicals that they're putting in people's body, the three
- 39:26Speaker 13: drugs that they do. I don't know why they're going
- 39:28Speaker 13: to that extreme. The number one killer. in the country
- 39:30Speaker 13: is fentanyl. It would be very, very easy to execute
- 39:34Speaker 13: these inmates with fentanyl and talk about peaceful.
- 39:37Speaker 5: You have a multiple... like a.
- 39:40Speaker 13: 10 time lethal dose probably cost you 20 bucks and
- 39:45Speaker 13: there's no coming back from that.
- 39:47Speaker 5: And it's extremely peaceful.
- 39:49Speaker 13: Yeah, it's extremely peaceful, extremely painless and very, very, very lethal.
- 39:56Speaker 13: So there's so many of these attorneys getting involved and
- 39:59Speaker 13: doctors and everything else. It could be very, very easy.
- 40:02Speaker 13: I mean, Utah has a firing squad.
- 40:05Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, Chad, how many states in the federal government,
- 40:07Speaker 1: how many thousands of pounds of fentanyl have we seized
- 40:10Speaker 1: since Joe Biden let hundreds and hundreds of thousands of
- 40:12Speaker 1: pounds into the nation for four years? You could just
- 40:15Speaker 1: each state, they'll get it from the feds, keep it
- 40:17Speaker 1: on tap and ready to go. But again, I'm old school.
- 40:20Speaker 1: I actually I remember how we went right. Electric hanging
- 40:24Speaker 1: was too bad. Firing squad was too bad. The gas
- 40:27Speaker 1: chamber was too bad. Old spark electric chair was too bad.
- 40:29Speaker 1: So we did the lethal injection and now we're botching that.
- 40:32Speaker 1: From what I've been told by people, go back to
- 40:34Speaker 1: the firing squad. It's the most affordable, the quickest, and
- 40:37Speaker 1: actually the painless because they're choking and dying on gas
- 40:41Speaker 1: or they're frying in a chair or they're getting botched injection.
- 40:44Speaker 1: The firing squad... You're done, like right away. Is that,
- 40:47Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you're a cop. Is that not right?
- 40:49Speaker 1: If it's done correctly.
- 40:50Speaker 5: No, it's right. How they do it, it's right. And,
- 40:52Speaker 5: you know, we need to get past the emotional part.
- 40:54Speaker 5: There's too many emotions involved.
- 40:56Speaker 1: It's just factual. Talk to the victim's families about that.
- 40:59Speaker 5: Exactly.
- 41:00Speaker 13: We know there's not one person about that female that,
- 41:04Speaker 13: you know, that inmate that should have been executed.
- 41:07Speaker 5: None of those people care about the victim. They don't
- 41:10Speaker 5: care about the victim's family.
- 41:11Speaker 1: Thank you.
- 41:12Speaker 5: They don't care about any of that stuff. It's just, oh,
- 41:14Speaker 5: poor inmate. Poor inmate. Oh, look what happened.
- 41:17Speaker 1: It's ridiculous.
- 41:18Speaker 5: Her rights and everything else.
- 41:19Speaker 13: And the emotion that we put into that, I mean,
- 41:21Speaker 13: I hate to sound cold, but we're supposed to be
- 41:24Speaker 13: caring about law-abiding Americans and victims of crime.
- 41:28Speaker 1: Thank you.
- 41:28Speaker 5: And when you've gone to the.
- 41:29Speaker 13: Point where you're going to murder somebody, sorry, you're sentenced
- 41:33Speaker 13: to death and you're dead. How you die, I mean,
- 41:37Speaker 13: you're going to die.
- 41:38Speaker 1: There you go. Sheriff Chad Bianco, thanks for weighing in
- 41:40Speaker 1: on all this down there in Tennessee. Appreciate you, brother.

- 41:56Speaker 1: news to share with you. Stick around. We'll be right back.

- 42:42Speaker 6: This institution was going to fulfill her dream, and instead
- 42:45Speaker 6: it became her nightmare.
- 42:47Speaker 1: I told Jane Doe, I want to write a story.
- 42:50Speaker 5: You never know what is going to ignite something.
- 42:56Speaker 2: Our administration can't only be responding now because they're under
- 43:00Speaker 2: the pressure of national news.
- 43:03Speaker 4: None of us.
- 43:03Speaker 5: Expected it to be like this.
- 43:10Speaker 1: Uh, that looks biased. If you didn't get what that was,
- 43:15Speaker 1: that's a Netflix documentary on the alleged rape case on
- 43:21Speaker 1: Cornell University. The investigation's not done, there's been no trial,
- 43:24Speaker 1: none of this, and Netflix is making a documentary that
- 43:27Speaker 1: seems pretty damn one-sided, and they're getting huge backlash for it,
- 43:30Speaker 1: as they should, okay? I get that the court of
- 43:34Speaker 1: public opinion is the boys are guilty. But the evidence
- 43:38Speaker 1: is showing, well, I'll get to that with my next guest. Anyway,
- 43:41Speaker 1: that brings us to a major update because things have
- 43:44Speaker 1: been breaking in this story. A state judge is now
- 43:47Speaker 1: considering whether or not, oh, my favorite, New York's Attorney
- 43:52Speaker 1: General Letitia James should be disqualified from overseeing the investigation. Why,
- 43:58Speaker 1: you say? Because attorneys representing two of the men that
- 44:00Speaker 1: are accused in a related civil lawsuit are challenged by
- 44:04Speaker 1: her inability to be impartial. Yeah, she's already come out
- 44:08Speaker 1: and said, like, we're going to get them and made
- 44:10Speaker 1: crazy posts. Matter of fact, on Facebook last month, James
- 44:15Speaker 1: expressed her support for Jane Doe, the accuser. James said
- 44:19Speaker 1: everyone stands with her and all survivors, implying that the
- 44:24Speaker 1: accuser is the victim, and the four or whatever, five, seven, ten,
- 44:29Speaker 1: I don't know how many guys, did it. That's complete bias,
- 44:34Speaker 1: and you can't do that when you're the prosecutor. You're
- 44:37Speaker 1: supposed to stay neutral, take the facts, try the case,
- 44:40Speaker 1: and let the jury or judge decide. I think by
- 44:43Speaker 1: now you know the accusations, but anyway, Jane Doe, the
- 44:47Speaker 1: flawed accuser, and I call her flawed because the story
- 44:50Speaker 1: has changed many times in the last, what, year and
- 44:52Speaker 1: a half since this all went down. Well, The accuser
- 44:57Speaker 1: just dropped someone from her lawsuit after incorrectly unidentifying him.
- 45:03Speaker 1: You heard me. His name, now that names are coming out,
- 45:07Speaker 1: Orazio Petito. wrongfully labeled as the president of the frat
- 45:12Speaker 1: whose members allegedly assaulted her about a year and a
- 45:15Speaker 1: half ago. Now Petito is officially out of the complaint.
- 45:19Speaker 1: So see, this girl's got a lot of problems. You
- 45:21Speaker 1: got the text messages the next day saying, that was fun.
- 45:25Speaker 1: We didn't do anything illegal. Let's do it again. You
- 45:28Speaker 1: got the fact that she was fine with drinking and
- 45:30Speaker 1: taking the ketamine with the guys. There's a lot. to
- 45:33Speaker 1: pick apart here, folks. Now, despite the glaring problems, the
- 45:38Speaker 1: Cornell University Faculty Senate is voting to move forward with
- 45:42Speaker 1: a formal no-confidence vote for the school's administrator. This week,
- 45:47Speaker 1: the decision came after the Senate rejected a motion to
- 45:49Speaker 1: delay the vote until the investigation's complete, which is what
- 45:52Speaker 1: you should do. So what happens next? Anonymous online voting
- 45:57Speaker 1: for faculty senators will open tomorrow and stay open for
- 45:59Speaker 1: a whole week. Even though they can't vote legally or
- 46:02Speaker 1: force anyone to resign, it puts pressure on the university's
- 46:04Speaker 1: board of trustees to then get rid of leadership. Now
- 46:08Speaker 1: you've got the documentary out there that seems pretty one-sided,
- 46:11Speaker 1: so the pressure is on. And of course, it makes
- 46:14Speaker 1: it look like these boys are guilty as hell and
- 46:17Speaker 1: she is a victim. And I'm not saying that's not
- 46:20Speaker 1: the case, but I'm saying the evidence points to something different.
- 46:24Speaker 1: So why don't we talk with the guy who's been
- 46:25Speaker 1: covering it for us for a while. Join me now
- 46:26Speaker 1: to sound off about the investigation, the no confidence vote,
- 46:30Speaker 1: hopefully Letitia James getting kicked off. He's a retired Las
- 46:33Speaker 1: Vegas police lieutenant, founder of the Wounded Blue nonprofit, our
- 46:36Speaker 1: pal Randy Sutton, back on the program. Randy, nice to
- 46:41Speaker 1: see you. Where shall we begin? How about we start,
- 46:44Speaker 1: since you're law enforcement, with the prosecutor, the head dog
- 46:48Speaker 1: in New York, the AG, good old non-bias, Letitia James,
- 46:54Speaker 1: she's posting crap, sticking up for the alleged victim before
- 46:59Speaker 1: there's even a trial. You can't do that by law, right?
- 47:04Speaker 3: There is nothing but politics in play here at every level.
- 47:09Speaker 3: of this case. I've rarely seen something where the accused
- 47:18Speaker 3: are literally dragged through the mud and convicted by the
- 47:24Speaker 3: court of public opinion, which has been so incredibly biased
- 47:28Speaker 3: against them despite all of the material that has come out.
- 47:32Speaker 3: which points to a completely different direction than what is
- 47:35Speaker 3: being pointed out in the media. It's really startling.
- 47:38Speaker 1: But Randy, hold on, I can pick one. Duke Lacrosse.
- 47:41Speaker 1: Go ahead, sorry.
- 47:42Speaker 3: Sure.
- 47:42Speaker 1: I had to think of that one because everybody believed her. Gee,
- 47:44Speaker 1: made the whole damn story up. Anyway, keep going.
- 47:47Speaker 3: Well, let's also talk about Kavanaugh and the issues that
- 47:53Speaker 3: he was facing. Once again, people seem to... not want
- 47:58Speaker 3: to look at things practically and not wait for investigations
- 48:04Speaker 3: to take place before they make all these incredible opinions public. Now,
- 48:10Speaker 3: Letitia James, she is... She is a joke. I mean,
- 48:15Speaker 3: watching her in action. But remember, she's got a track
- 48:19Speaker 3: record of this. I mean, she got elected on the
- 48:24Speaker 3: court of public opinion where she literally campaigned on prosecuting
- 48:29Speaker 3: Donald Trump.
- 48:29Speaker 1: That's all she said. I'll get Trump.
- 48:31Speaker 3: Vote me in. And now she is posting on Facebook.
- 48:35Speaker 3: By the way, when she was questioned in the media
- 48:38Speaker 3: about that Facebook post, she basically said, I'm not even
- 48:43Speaker 3: going to discuss it. So, of course, she can say
- 48:46Speaker 3: what she wants. She works under Kathy Hochul, who's the
- 48:50Speaker 3: one that created this maelstrom of incredible stupidity with her
- 48:56Speaker 3: political singularity of prosecuting these people. It is literally watching
- 49:04Speaker 3: Lady Justice be thrown down the stairs. Remember, Lady Justice
- 49:10Speaker 3: wears a blindfold.
- 49:11Speaker 1: For a reason, right? That's right, and it's equal, right, balanced.
- 49:14Speaker 3: And we're not seeing that here in any level.
- 49:17Speaker 1: No, this is literally reminding me and I remember reporting
- 49:21Speaker 1: on it, I don't remember what TV market I was
- 49:23Speaker 1: in ages and ages ago because the case is so old,
- 49:25Speaker 1: but it reminds me exactly of Duke lacrosse. Everybody was,
- 49:29Speaker 1: those frat boy lacrosse players did it. And then how
- 49:32Speaker 1: long did it take? Years until they went, she made
- 49:35Speaker 1: the whole thing up. Now, of course, she's in prison
- 49:37Speaker 1: because she killed her boyfriend. She had some problems. But
- 49:40Speaker 1: this gal, the story's inconsistent. The text messaging proves she
- 49:44Speaker 1: was into it, cool with it, helped set it up
- 49:46Speaker 1: with some of these guys. And then the text messages after,
- 49:49Speaker 1: not just the before ones, the after, prove that again
- 49:52Speaker 1: to me. She's misidentifying people. I mean... How about this
- 49:56Speaker 1: Netflix special, by the way? Want to talk about making
- 49:59Speaker 1: the court of public opinion biased and a potential jury pool?
- 50:03Speaker 1: You're making everybody say they're guilty already and now Netflix
- 50:06Speaker 1: is jumping on the bandwagon.
- 50:09Speaker 3: Yeah, and you have the leadership of Cornell on the
- 50:15Speaker 3: chopping block as well, all for a situation that we truly,
- 50:21Speaker 3: it has every earmark of being a consensual encounter by
- 50:28Speaker 3: every stretch of the imagination, including the fact that in
- 50:31Speaker 3: the initial investigation, the district attorney, which actually had the
- 50:37Speaker 3: ability to do an investigation, said, this is not a
- 50:41Speaker 3: prosecutable case. And it's not. I mean, this is a
- 50:45Speaker 3: defense lawyer's dream. The problem is that you have... young
- 50:49Speaker 3: lives of these men who will never be the same.
- 50:54Speaker 3: They'll never be the same. Nope.
- 50:56Speaker 1: Totally agree. Randy, thanks for weighing in on this one.
- 50:58Speaker 1: I hope justice is served in this case. Randy Sutton, everybody.
- 51:03Speaker 1: Thank you, sir. Appreciate you.
- 51:04Speaker 3: Thank you, Dan.
- 51:05Speaker 13: Yep.
- 51:06Speaker 1: All right. Stick around. Coming up after the break, we'll

- 51:56Speaker 1: and read some of your viewer mail? The good, the bad,
- 51:58Speaker 1: the ugly. Who's up first, Chris? That looks like our
- 52:01Speaker 1: friend Thomas. Thomas says, howdy, Dan. Glad to have you back.
- 52:05Speaker 1: Thank you. Hope you had a joyful vacation. We did.
- 52:07Speaker 1: I can't understand why someone who would vote for a
- 52:09Speaker 1: socialist or a communist. I don't understand either, Thomas. The
- 52:12Speaker 1: ones who want to abolish ICE or the police. Democrats
- 52:15Speaker 1: want to keep the illegals because they want to cheat
- 52:17Speaker 1: and have them vote in our elections.
- 52:19Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 52:20Speaker 1: That's exactly what they're doing. Thomas, spread the word. Next up,
- 52:24Speaker 1: Tracy says, Dear Dan, I truly appreciate your upbeat, hopeful
- 52:27Speaker 1: attitude regarding individuals who truly need to be investigated, charged,
- 52:30Speaker 1: and put in jail. However, let me just say, Joe Biden,
- 52:34Speaker 1: Hunter Biden, Swallow Well, Hillary Clinton, Hillary, I love it,
- 52:37Speaker 1: Billy Clinton, Pencil, Neck, Comey, Fauci, et cetera, et cetera.
- 52:44Speaker 1: No charges, running free. See the theme here? No charges.
- 52:47Speaker 1: They're above the damn law, and we all know it.
- 52:50Speaker 1: We need to go across the board, sentencing guidelines that
- 52:52Speaker 1: are applicable to all people, period, yet Santos. All right, Tracy,
- 52:58Speaker 1: I see your take on that. Couple more here before
- 53:00Speaker 1: we say goodnight. Mike says, hey, Dan, did you know
- 53:02Speaker 1: that Ilhan Omar doesn't even have a birth certificate? 96%
- 53:05Speaker 1: of Somalis don't have birth certificates. So I guess we're
- 53:08Speaker 1: supposed to believe her when she says, yeah, I was
- 53:11Speaker 1: 17 when I entered the country, which we don't know
- 53:13Speaker 1: if she was 17 or 18. Another thing, I think
- 53:15Speaker 1: that the court should subpoena her DNA and her husband's
- 53:19Speaker 1: DNA to see if they're related. DNA tests don't lie.
- 53:22Speaker 1: And finally, thanks for that, Mike. This one from Monaco54.
- 53:26Speaker 1: Love that interview, Dan. I love Kiss. Oh, talking about
- 53:29Speaker 1: Gene Simmons we had last night. I was fortunate enough
- 53:31Speaker 1: to go see them in concert at the Rose Bowl
- 53:33Speaker 1: in Pasadena when they were still big and making music.
- 53:35Speaker 1: They were the headliner. I love his attitude, and I
- 53:38Speaker 1: agree with pretty much everything he said. about coming here,
- 53:41Speaker 1: losing his accent, and doing great things. He's an awesome patriot.
