Latest / David Pollack Primetime / The Left vs. Katie Zacharia
Transcript
- 0:10Speaker 1: We all knew the left would find something nasty to
- 0:16Speaker 1: say about the president's new press secretary. We knew it, right?
- 0:19Speaker 1: We could have just set our watch to it. I'm
- 0:22Speaker 1: just kind of shocked that they went after her for being,
- 0:25Speaker 1: you know, human, who gets nervous on their first day
- 0:28Speaker 1: of work. That is what they're so upset about tonight.
- 0:32Speaker 1: Yesterday was her first briefing as White House press secretary.
- 0:35Speaker 1: Katie Zachariah announced that the president had asked Kimberly Guilfoyle
- 0:40Speaker 1: to resign. She took three questions. She wrapped the whole
- 0:44Speaker 1: press conference in about 15 minutes because she was about
- 0:47Speaker 1: to travel with the president to Alaska. Probably by the
- 0:51Speaker 1: time they boarded the helicopter, the media had already decided
- 0:56Speaker 1: what they thought. Jen Psaki, remember her, a host on MSNOW?
- 1:02Speaker 1: She called her first press conference basically an SNL skit.
- 1:09Speaker 1: The Democratic Party's official account posted a sarcastic thumbs up,
- 1:14Speaker 1: and plenty of people on the left went even further
- 1:18Speaker 1: and said the most disgusting things. I won't even repeat it.
- 1:22Speaker 1: And it wasn't just the trolls. The fake news piled
- 1:25Speaker 1: on top. CNN went to anonymous White House officials to
- 1:29Speaker 1: ask how long Katie Zachariah can last. Within a day,
- 1:34Speaker 1: she was a punchline in every headline from coast to coast.
- 1:38Speaker 1: And again, none of us are surprised that they're going
- 1:42Speaker 1: to go after her. They would have gone after anyone.
- 1:46Speaker 1: But because she was nervous and used notes, So what?
- 1:53Speaker 1: Everybody has a first day. Jen Psaki gave us all
- 1:57Speaker 1: circle back about 3 million times. Karine Jean Pierre, who
- 2:03Speaker 1: the Biden White House sold on basically checking every box,
- 2:07Speaker 1: read her answers out of a binder. Never made eye
- 2:09Speaker 1: contact with anybody. Maybe because she finds it hard to
- 2:12Speaker 1: look people in the eyes when she's lying. So spare
- 2:16Speaker 1: me the outrage. The president's review of Tuesday's briefing, I
- 2:21Speaker 1: thought she was very good. And that's the only opinion
- 2:24Speaker 1: that matters. These are the same people who spent four
- 2:29Speaker 1: years making excuses for a president of the United States
- 2:34Speaker 1: who couldn't finish a sentence. Remember this?
- 2:37Speaker 2: America is a nation that can be defined in a
- 2:40Speaker 2: single word. We hold these truths to be self-evident.
- 2:47Speaker 3: All men and women created by, go, you.
- 2:50Speaker 2: Know the thing.
- 2:52Speaker 1: Zubi, zubi, zubi, zubi, zubi. Joe Scarborough, March of 2024,
- 2:57Speaker 1: says this version of Biden, intellectually, analytically, is the best
- 3:02Speaker 1: Biden ever! That June, when video show Biden freezing on stage,
- 3:10Speaker 1: following around kittens or whatnot, Corrine Jean-Pierre called them cheap fakes.
- 3:16Speaker 1: Don't trust your lying eyes. Then came the debate. We
- 3:20Speaker 1: finally beat Medicare. Days later, she told reporters that he
- 3:24Speaker 1: was as sharp as ever. Last year, Scarborough finally admitted it.
- 3:30Speaker 1: I was obviously wrong. THEY WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT
- 3:33Speaker 1: THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, THE PRESIDENT OF THE
- 3:35Speaker 1: UNITED STATES WHO NOBODY KNEW IF THE LIGHTS WERE ON,
- 3:39Speaker 1: PRETTY MUCH LEGISLATED WITH AN AUTO PEN FROM THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH.
- 3:43Speaker 1: BUT OF COURSE, A NEW PRESS SECRETARY WITH A LITTLE
- 3:46Speaker 1: BIT OF NERVES, THEY CAN'T GIVE HER GRACE ON THE
- 3:49Speaker 1: FIRST DAY? THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HER FIRST DAY.
- 3:54Speaker 1: IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HER NERVES. The ones
- 4:03Speaker 1: who won't vote the way they're told. Suddenly, some of
- 4:07Speaker 1: the same critics miss Caroline Leavitt. Because it's funny, though,
- 4:11Speaker 1: because when Leavitt got the job, Joy Bear on The View,
- 4:16Speaker 1: she told the audience she was hired because she's a 10.
- 4:19Speaker 1: That was her qualification. She was attractive. There's a pattern here, folks.
- 4:25Speaker 1: At the 2018 House Correspondents' Dinner, The comedian the press
- 4:29Speaker 1: corps hired went after Sarah Huckabee Sanders, went after her makeup,
- 4:33Speaker 1: said she burns facts and then uses that ash to
- 4:36Speaker 1: create the perfect smokey eye. Two months later, a restaurant
- 4:40Speaker 1: in Virginia asked Sanders to leave. Today, she's governor of Arkansas.
- 4:44Speaker 1: Take that. When Amy Coney Barrett, a mother of seven
- 4:49Speaker 1: and now a Supreme Court justice, who disappoints us sometimes,
- 4:53Speaker 1: which she became before the Senate in 2017. Dianne Feinstein,
- 4:58Speaker 1: remember her? She told her, the dogma lives loudly within you.
- 5:02Speaker 1: God forbid she believes in God. And when Tulsi Gabbard
- 5:07Speaker 1: challenged her own party, Hillary Clinton suggested she was the
- 5:12Speaker 1: favorite of the Russians. That's right, always the Russians, Hillary.
- 5:16Speaker 1: Kristi Noem ran Homeland Security, and her critics called her
- 5:19Speaker 1: Ice Barbie. And when Riley Gaines, a former Kentucky swimmer,
- 5:23Speaker 1: spoke up for women's sports at San Francisco State, she
- 5:26Speaker 1: was attacked and had to spend nearly three hours barricaded
- 5:30Speaker 1: in a room. Cross the left as a woman. Dare
- 5:35Speaker 1: stand up to the left as a woman. And this
- 5:38Speaker 1: is what they do to you. They're not for women's rights.
- 5:42Speaker 1: They're for liberal rights. AND THEY DON'T PROTECT WOMEN. CASE
- 5:47Speaker 1: IN POINT, IN MARCH OF LAST YEAR, SENATE DEMOCRATS BLOCKED
- 5:50Speaker 1: THE PROTECTION OF WOMEN AND GIRLS IN SPORTS ACT. IT
- 5:54Speaker 1: GOT 51 VOTES. IT NEEDED 60 IN THE HOUSE. ONLY
- 5:58Speaker 1: TWO DEMOCRATS VOTED FOR IT. IF YOU'RE RAISING A DAUGHTER
- 6:00Speaker 1: WHO PLAYS SPORTS, THOSE VOTES TOLD YOU EXACTLY WHO'S IN
- 6:03Speaker 1: YOUR DAUGHTER'S CORNER AND AIN'T THE DEMOCRATS. KATIE ZACHARIA IS
- 6:08Speaker 1: GOING TO DO The left has already shown you what
- 6:14Speaker 1: it thinks of the women who stand there. Joining me
- 6:19Speaker 1: now is Justine Brooke Murray, conservative content creator. Welcome back, Justine.
- 6:23Speaker 1: I know none of us are surprised by this. I
- 6:25Speaker 1: know every time you come on, we seem to be
- 6:26Speaker 1: talking about another leftist attack against women. And here we
- 6:31Speaker 1: are again. I'm not shocked that you're being so ugly.
- 6:34Speaker 1: I am actually, though, a little surprised with how vicious,
- 6:37Speaker 1: how incredibly vicious they've been. to this woman after just
- 6:41Speaker 1: one day on the job. It's crazy, right?
- 6:43Speaker 4: I'm not shocked since the TikTok brigade of victim influencers
- 6:48Speaker 4: are declaring they're Lindsay Clancy, they're all Jane Doe. I'm
- 6:52Speaker 4: going to make a declaration that I am Katie Zachariah.
- 6:57Speaker 4: Because as many conservative women in this space, in this
- 7:01Speaker 4: movement has experienced, this is where feminism stops. Because the
- 7:06Speaker 4: leftist ideology, and even people who aren't part of the left,
- 7:10Speaker 4: some of them are normies. They have a law or
- 7:13Speaker 4: a rule, like an imaginary law. If you're a woman,
- 7:17Speaker 4: you're allowed to be smart or you can be attractive.
- 7:20Speaker 1: You can't be both.
- 7:22Speaker 4: God forbid you can't be both. You can if you're
- 7:24Speaker 4: a woman in the name of feminism, you can kill
- 7:26Speaker 4: your own children because you're a woman and you'll be
- 7:29Speaker 4: celebrated on social media. But God forbid, if you look
- 7:33Speaker 4: beautiful like Katie, and you're smart and you're successful, the
- 7:37Speaker 4: left will not only render it like not allowed, banned.
- 7:41Speaker 4: What they're doing to her right now is they're rallying
- 7:45Speaker 4: to wage lawfare against her. They're telling her, you didn't
- 7:48Speaker 4: deserve to get where you are. So they're actually trying
- 7:51Speaker 4: to go after her license as a lawyer. They're trying
- 7:54Speaker 4: to say, well, you're not actually a lawyer because you
- 7:57Speaker 4: graduated law school, but you're not currently practicing.
- 8:01Speaker 3: This is how far they will go.
- 8:02Speaker 4: They sound like old school misogynist back.
- 8:06Speaker 3: In the 20s.
- 8:08Speaker 4: So they declared, before this space, before the White House
- 8:13Speaker 4: press secretary position was even filled, they determined the fate
- 8:17Speaker 4: of that person.
- 8:18Speaker 3: And right now it's Katie.
- 8:20Speaker 4: They determined whoever it may be, and especially, God forbid,
- 8:24Speaker 4: if she's blonde and beautiful, it doesn't matter how well
- 8:27Speaker 4: she did on her first day, they're going to render
- 8:30Speaker 4: her a stereotype. And the stereotype is this this, in
- 8:34Speaker 4: Jimmy Kimmel's word, blonde adult. The feminists are doing the
- 8:39Speaker 4: old school dumb blonde stereotype because they would rather see
- 8:43Speaker 4: her sew on a penis.
- 8:45Speaker 1: Well, and it gets worse than that. I mean, look,
- 8:47Speaker 1: we got a clip here from The View. I'm going
- 8:49Speaker 1: to get your reaction on that.
- 8:50Speaker 2: And how about the press secretary?
- 8:51Speaker 1: How about it?
- 8:52Speaker 5: How about it?
- 8:54Speaker 6: All the black women got fired, and they kept this
- 8:55Speaker 6: bride right here.
- 8:59Speaker 1: Let's talk about the EI. Yeah, yeah.
- 9:01Speaker 2: You know what?
- 9:02Speaker 1: GCI, that's greedy, corrupt, and comedy white people.
- 9:04Speaker 2: That's crazy, man.
- 9:07Speaker 1: Do you know what I'm saying? Like, they're laughing that
- 9:08Speaker 1: he's calling her abroad. They joke, DEI, when if the
- 9:12Speaker 1: shoe was on the other foot, you know they would
- 9:13Speaker 1: be just outraged and heartbroken and Whoopi would be crying.
- 9:16Speaker 1: But this is the hypocrisy. They'll attack any woman, and
- 9:19Speaker 1: there's no rules for them to even withhold any of
- 9:24Speaker 1: their rage, right?
- 9:26Speaker 4: We'll leave it to the potato sacks dressed in nylons
- 9:29Speaker 4: with lipstick smeared on them to complain that someone younger
- 9:33Speaker 4: and hotter than them, God forbid, has reached success at
- 9:38Speaker 4: a younger age than they have. But to your point,
- 9:41Speaker 4: everyone called us racist when we criticized President Biden for
- 9:45Speaker 4: saying that he was going to pick a vice president
- 9:48Speaker 4: who was a minority, who was black.
- 9:50Speaker 3: Kamala Harris was a DEI hire.
- 9:53Speaker 4: So now they're saying to other women, oh, well, God
- 9:56Speaker 4: forbid if you fit like a certain beauty standard, well.
- 9:59Speaker 3: You only got that position because you look good.
- 10:02Speaker 4: But at the same time, you know, you guys better
- 10:04Speaker 4: hire us because look how awesome we are as minorities.
- 10:08Speaker 3: And we fit on the totem pole of intersectionality.
- 10:11Speaker 4: So that renders us ripe for the position.
- 10:14Speaker 1: Yeah, it's so... I mean, look, the audience watching this show,
- 10:19Speaker 1: everybody watching this show, they probably agree. They're like, yeah,
- 10:22Speaker 1: it's ridiculous. They're being unfair. But I just have to say,
- 10:25Speaker 1: even though I expected this response, even though none of
- 10:30Speaker 1: us are shocked or surprised by what we're seeing, it's
- 10:33Speaker 1: the viciousness and the energy put behind the attacks. It's
- 10:37Speaker 1: something new. I mean, on my social media posts, if
- 10:40Speaker 1: I even mention Katie Zachariah, you have 2,000 comments of angry,
- 10:44Speaker 1: ugly trolls just saying horrible things about me, about her,
- 10:48Speaker 1: about everybody. It's just so much hate and anger on
- 10:51Speaker 1: the left. And this is the party that claims they
- 10:53Speaker 1: want to stop hate. If it wasn't for them, there
- 10:55Speaker 1: wouldn't be any hate. And this is just yet another example.
- 10:58Speaker 1: We just have to take the high road, keep doing
- 11:01Speaker 1: what we know best. And that's why November is so expensive, expensive, important.
- 11:05Speaker 1: Do not give power to the people that are behind
- 11:09Speaker 1: these attacks, because what do you think they'll do when
- 11:11Speaker 1: they have the chair positions? This is why this midterm
- 11:14Speaker 1: is as important as ever before. Justine, thank you so
- 11:16Speaker 1: much for being here as always. Look forward to having
- 11:18Speaker 1: you back real soon.
- 11:19Speaker 3: Yes, same here. Thank you.
- 11:22Speaker 1: Still ahead tonight, Ilhan Omar's office asked the state library
- 11:27Speaker 1: to change her birth year months after she got to Congress.
- 11:31Speaker 1: Now a grand jury has subpoenaed her family. A retired
- 11:35Speaker 1: Border Patrol chief joins me with a reaction to that. Plus,
- 11:39Speaker 1: Greta Thunberg. Remember her, the climate activist that seems to
- 11:42Speaker 1: show up at every annoying protest? Well, now she's in France,
- 11:46Speaker 1: of course, talking about school funding as they burn them down.
- 11:49Speaker 1: And a Houthi missile killed an American in Saudi Arabia.
- 11:52Speaker 1: George Papadopoulos is here with the full story. Stick around.

- 12:39Speaker 1: Yesterday, we talked about the raid on Ilhan Omar's home.
- 12:44Speaker 1: And tonight, new updates as the subpoenas have reached her family.
- 12:50Speaker 1: The New York Times reports her sister and at least
- 12:53Speaker 1: one other relative received grand jury subpoenas. Investigators are looking
- 12:58Speaker 1: for fraud or false statements in her immigration paperwork and
- 13:02Speaker 1: whether her late father lied or left things out on
- 13:06Speaker 1: his own forms before he became a citizen. The Times
- 13:10Speaker 1: notes a grand jury subpoena gathers evidence. It doesn't mean
- 13:13Speaker 1: the person who gets one is under investigation. Then there's
- 13:17Speaker 1: her birthday in May 2019. Months after she was sworn
- 13:21Speaker 1: into Congress, Omar's office asked the Minnesota Legislative Reference Library
- 13:26Speaker 1: to change her listed birth year from 1981 to 1982.
- 13:30Speaker 1: A week later, it was done. That's according to emails
- 13:34Speaker 1: reviewed by the New York Post. The library's director wrote
- 13:38Speaker 1: that her staff said 1981 was incorrect, and the Washington
- 13:43Speaker 1: Post reports the federal probe now centers on her birth
- 13:47Speaker 1: date and her citizenship papers. Hmm. One year, Omar says
- 13:53Speaker 1: she became a citizen through her father. In 2000, her words,
- 13:58Speaker 1: I became a citizen actually before I turned 18. A
- 14:01Speaker 1: child can only get citizenship through a parent before turning 18.
- 14:05Speaker 1: Born in 1981, she would have turned 18 in 1999.
- 14:10Speaker 1: That's the case her critics have made for years. None
- 14:13Speaker 1: of it's been proven, just allegations. And There's a second investigation. D.C.
- 14:18Speaker 1: 's U.S. attorney, Janine Pirro, says her office is looking
- 14:22Speaker 1: at Omar's financial disclosures. Her 2024 filing listed up to
- 14:26Speaker 1: $ 30 million in assets in April. She amended it to
- 14:30Speaker 1: between $ 18, 000 and $ 95, 000. That's a couple of zeros. Her
- 14:36Speaker 1: team calls it an accounting error. Yeah, you know, birthday errors,
- 14:41Speaker 1: accounting errors. It happens, right? The House's own conduct office
- 14:47Speaker 1: recommended dropping the complaint. Pirro says it doesn't matter what
- 14:51Speaker 1: the House does. We're looking at the facts. President Trump
- 14:54Speaker 1: took to Truth Social yesterday and put it perfectly. Why
- 14:57Speaker 1: did Ilhan Omar report a net worth of up to
- 15:00Speaker 1: $ 30 million just a short time ago and then immediately say, oh,
- 15:04Speaker 1: I made a mistake. Really, it's $ 100, 000. America wants answers,
- 15:08Speaker 1: and we want them now, he says. So what happens
- 15:11Speaker 1: if investigators are right? The Warren, according to The Times,
- 15:15Speaker 1: lists false statements, fraud in immigration paperwork, and conspiracy theories.
- 15:19Speaker 1: Then her citizenship. Federal law says that if a parent's
- 15:22Speaker 1: citizenship is revoked for lying or hiding facts, anyone who
- 15:26Speaker 1: got citizenship through that parent loses it too. The civil case,
- 15:31Speaker 1: to take it away, has no statute of limitations either.
- 15:35Speaker 1: If citizenship goes, the law puts a person back in
- 15:39Speaker 1: whatever status they held before. That could open a door
- 15:43Speaker 1: for Ilhan Omar's deportation. Nancy May says... If the fraud
- 15:49Speaker 1: is proven, she should be denaturalized and deported home to Somalia.
- 15:54Speaker 1: Then her seat. The Constitution says no one can serve
- 15:57Speaker 1: in the House without being a citizen for seven years.
- 15:59Speaker 1: The House judges its own members, and expelling one takes
- 16:03Speaker 1: a two-thirds vote. The bar is high. The government needs
- 16:05Speaker 1: to clear unequivocal and convincing evidence. She hasn't been charged,
- 16:09Speaker 1: and she denies all of it. She's on the ballot
- 16:13Speaker 1: in 20 days. Now, if you lied to get your citizenship,
- 16:17Speaker 1: The government can take it from you. The law makes
- 16:20Speaker 1: no exceptions for members of Congress. Remember, Elon, nobody is
- 16:24Speaker 1: above the law. And she did swear an oath to
- 16:28Speaker 1: the Constitution. Joining me now, retired U.S. Border Patrol Chief
- 16:32Speaker 1: Agent Chris Clem. Welcome back to David Pollak Prime Time.
- 16:39Speaker 1: Should they be keeping the light on for Elon Omar
- 16:43Speaker 1: back in old Somalia?
- 16:45Speaker 7: You know, David, what a great monologue because you hit
- 16:48Speaker 7: all the important parts of what's going on here. Obviously,
- 16:52Speaker 7: there's a lot of things that we don't know that
- 16:54Speaker 7: the investigators are behind the scene. But look, it comes
- 16:57Speaker 7: down to just like in any criminal case, you know,
- 17:00Speaker 7: fruits of the poisonous tree. If the evidence and the
- 17:02Speaker 7: information on the front end is bad, you don't get
- 17:06Speaker 7: a conviction. So the same thing happens in her case.
- 17:08Speaker 7: If If her father, and to include herself in the
- 17:11Speaker 7: documentation that was submitted, is in error or in omission,
- 17:15Speaker 7: and especially if it's willfully and knowingly done, she's out.
- 17:19Speaker 7: There's no ifs, ands, or buts about it regardless. And
- 17:23Speaker 7: using this congressional privilege that so many on the left
- 17:26Speaker 7: and the right use when they make statements is trying
- 17:31Speaker 7: to make this even worse. make it like she's a
- 17:34Speaker 7: victim here. When she's been denouncing this administration, when she's
- 17:38Speaker 7: been denouncing the very same immigration system that she benefited from,
- 17:44Speaker 7: and then there's some information that she may be committing fraud,
- 17:49Speaker 7: I say leave the light on Somalia if that's the case,
- 17:52Speaker 7: because we don't need this as a representative body of
- 17:56Speaker 7: this United States, regardless of what part of Minnesota it's from.
- 18:00Speaker 7: This is criminal, in my opinion, but at the end
- 18:03Speaker 7: of the day, if the facts lead to her being
- 18:07Speaker 7: convicted in this civil case, then it's time to deport.
- 18:11Speaker 1: So, and there's so many, between, like you mentioned, if
- 18:16Speaker 1: the father's application was bad, then everything else underneath it,
- 18:19Speaker 1: but the fact that she had her staff call, apparently,
- 18:23Speaker 1: and have her date on her application changed, that's a real,
- 18:27Speaker 1: or the library changed, That is a more criminal sort
- 18:31Speaker 1: of activity because then she knowingly falsified documents to not
- 18:35Speaker 1: only qualify for citizenship but then to qualify for Congress.
- 18:39Speaker 1: I mean, that is a much bigger deal if it
- 18:41Speaker 1: can be proven. Now, of course, as she's done in
- 18:43Speaker 1: the past, oh, it was just a mistake. Oh, that's
- 18:45Speaker 1: not what I told them to do. You know, it's
- 18:47Speaker 1: not my fault. So if that's the case, though, and
- 18:50Speaker 1: she did falsify those documents or direct people to falsify
- 18:52Speaker 1: their documents, it's not just deportation. We're talking jail, right?
- 18:57Speaker 7: I would think so, right? This is, in law enforcement,
- 18:59Speaker 7: that's called a clue, right? She's very culpable. If this
- 19:03Speaker 7: was in New York City, a counting arrow can get
- 19:06Speaker 7: you 34 felony indictments, right? So, you know, these little
- 19:10Speaker 7: things mean something.
- 19:12Speaker 1: If you're going to sit there and.
- 19:14Speaker 7: Boast about no one is above the law, then you
- 19:17Speaker 7: need to make sure that your records are in order
- 19:20Speaker 7: as well. The statement of, or the saying, people in
- 19:22Speaker 7: glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Look, You know, I'm all
- 19:27Speaker 7: for the freedom of speech and regardless if you're a
- 19:29Speaker 7: member of Congress or a member of the executive branch.
- 19:32Speaker 1: But you know what?
- 19:32Speaker 7: You better have it right. And again, what really kind
- 19:36Speaker 7: of gets me about this is I'm OK with them
- 19:39Speaker 7: hating policies and hating on, you know, not liking the
- 19:42Speaker 7: president or whatever. But at the end of the day,
- 19:46Speaker 7: to completely denounce an entire agency because you don't like
- 19:51Speaker 7: them enforcing the law, again, that's kind of a red flag.
- 19:54Speaker 1: What are you hiding?
- 19:55Speaker 7: Why are you so against immigration enforcement unless you are
- 19:59Speaker 7: doing something wrong. And again, not only do we have
- 20:02Speaker 7: this immigration stuff, we know from previous public facing information,
- 20:07Speaker 7: connections to potential terrorist organizations, some of the fraud and
- 20:12Speaker 7: misuse of funds in Minnesota, there's a whole bunch of
- 20:15Speaker 7: things that will come out here. And if nothing more,
- 20:18Speaker 7: If we get arrests, we get civil convictions, or we
- 20:23Speaker 7: get complete transparency, it will tell a much bigger picture
- 20:27Speaker 7: and hold people accountable because accountability is key to the
- 20:31Speaker 7: integrity in this system. There's no doubt we need to
- 20:34Speaker 7: clean up our immigration system, but when acting or sitting
- 20:37Speaker 7: members of Congress are part of that problem, By using
- 20:43Speaker 7: the system in a fraudulent way, we've got a lot
- 20:46Speaker 7: of work ahead of us. And maybe this is just
- 20:47Speaker 7: the tip of the iceberg because there's a long list
- 20:49Speaker 7: of naturalized citizens in Congress that probably need to make
- 20:54Speaker 7: sure they got their affairs in order.
- 20:56Speaker 3: Because this could open the floodgates.
- 20:58Speaker 7: But if she's purposely having staff change things, very much
- 21:02Speaker 7: a clue and shows culpability. And that's what you need
- 21:05Speaker 7: to get a conviction.
- 21:06Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, look, it's all very interesting. She does
- 21:09Speaker 1: seem to really dislike Border Patrol. She seems to really
- 21:14Speaker 1: dislike America. And, you know, those could be clues as well, Chris.
- 21:19Speaker 1: Always a pleasure having you on, my friend. Thank you
- 21:21Speaker 1: so much for being here. Look forward to talking again
- 21:23Speaker 1: real soon.
- 21:24Speaker 2: You got it. Thank you, David. Thank you.
- 21:27Speaker 1: Coming up next, remember Greta Thunberg? She always seems to
- 21:31Speaker 1: want to show up at whatever communist protest she sets
- 21:34Speaker 1: her calendar to. Well, now she's in France to join
- 21:38Speaker 1: those student protests. And you know what she said when
- 21:41Speaker 1: she's there? She says, I'm an extremely privileged person. I'm
- 21:45Speaker 1: a white person from Sweden. You're not going to believe this.
- 21:48Speaker 1: It's all coming up next.
- 21:56Speaker 5: For all of our viewers out there asking where to

- 22:06Speaker 5: talk shows. And the best part is OAN Live is

- 22:22Speaker 5: you can't get anywhere else.
- 22:32Speaker 1: We talked about the unrest in Paris last week. A
- 22:36Speaker 1: growing group of students, starting from a high school supposedly
- 22:41Speaker 1: facing teacher shortages and a lack of resources, erupted into
- 22:45Speaker 1: multiple protests across the country. You know they're attacking their
- 22:50Speaker 1: teachers and burning their schools, but whatever. Four weeks in
- 22:53Speaker 1: and schools across the country have closed. Thousands of arrests
- 22:56Speaker 1: and hundreds of injuries. More than 700 police officers have
- 23:00Speaker 1: been hurt. Tuesday, a new twist. Everybody's favorite Greta Thunberg
- 23:08Speaker 1: showed up at Paul Éluard High School in St. Denis
- 23:12Speaker 1: and stood among the demonstrators, the climate activist, who has
- 23:17Speaker 1: since broadened her resume to include all sorts of communist activism.
- 23:22Speaker 1: She's now weighing in on the French school funding. She
- 23:27Speaker 1: knows she doesn't need to be there. She said it herself. Look.
- 23:30Speaker 1: They don't need me at all.
- 23:32Speaker 8: But I do believe that we all have a duty
- 23:35Speaker 8: to stand up and stand in solidarity with these struggles
- 23:38Speaker 8: wherever they're happening. I am an extremely privileged person. I
- 23:41Speaker 8: am a white person from Sweden. I am very much
- 23:45Speaker 8: part of this very destructive system that systematically benefits people
- 23:50Speaker 8: like me. And if I choose to stay silent knowing.
- 23:52Speaker 1: That, I choose the side of the oppressor. You don't
- 23:57Speaker 1: need to be there! So why are you there? Take
- 24:00Speaker 1: your privilege somewhere else. That's what it's all about. Thunberg
- 24:04Speaker 1: has been fading into the background lately, right? There's no
- 24:08Speaker 1: more marches. So now she has to find an opportunity
- 24:10Speaker 1: to get herself her privilege back in the spotlight. The
- 24:15Speaker 1: protests weren't silent. There wasn't a lack of coverage. She
- 24:19Speaker 1: said it herself. They did need her there, but she
- 24:22Speaker 1: went anyway. But maybe she needed them more than they
- 24:26Speaker 1: needed her. The same day she arrived, the protests were
- 24:30Speaker 1: again full of flying projectiles, police and tear gas, fireworks
- 24:35Speaker 1: fired through a tube, injured two people in another part
- 24:38Speaker 1: of Paris, a police officer outside a school in Marseille.
- 24:43Speaker 1: Those are staff and police just doing their jobs, and
- 24:47Speaker 1: they're being hurt. And if you're really worried about a
- 24:49Speaker 1: teacher shortage, maybe you shouldn't attack your teachers. And now
- 24:54Speaker 1: look at what's flying over these marches. The latest news.
- 24:58Speaker 1: Palestinian flags you've seen, many at all the demonstrations, at
- 25:03Speaker 1: that para-school as well. A school funding process is now
- 25:07Speaker 1: carrying the banner of a Middle East cause. One analyst
- 25:11Speaker 1: says the flags show that the movement has expanded beyond
- 25:13Speaker 1: its original educational demands, and opponents accuse the far-left party there,
- 25:19Speaker 1: the Communist Party, unbowed, it's called, unbowed, of fueling all
- 25:24Speaker 1: the unrest. Now, yesterday I told you about how Free
- 25:28Speaker 1: Palestine became the catchphrase of dozens of touring musician acts, Macklemore,
- 25:33Speaker 1: Hayley Williams. But a lot of acts, by the way,
- 25:36Speaker 1: are now stepping up against them, which I'm happy to see.
- 25:38Speaker 1: Go Metallica. But it's spreading. The flag showing up at
- 25:42Speaker 1: these protests. It all shows a change in the message.
- 25:45Speaker 1: It's not about school reform. I don't think it ever
- 25:47Speaker 1: really was. Now, if the protesters aren't appeased... And the
- 25:52Speaker 1: government doesn't support human rights, right? In France, the government's
- 25:55Speaker 1: hands are tied with strained finances and decades-high borrowing costs.
- 25:59Speaker 1: It has little room to spend. The street wants money, supposedly,
- 26:03Speaker 1: that the state doesn't have six months before an election
- 26:07Speaker 1: that could produce the first far-right government since World War II.
- 26:10Speaker 1: And look at what's happening. Order isn't the enemy of reform.
- 26:14Speaker 1: It's the requirement for it. Reward the blockades and the
- 26:18Speaker 1: cameras and the activists. And the causes that ride along
- 26:22Speaker 1: will be back. Joining me now for his reaction, author, professor,
- 26:26Speaker 1: cultural expert, Dr. Andrew Fox. Welcome back, David Pollak, Prime Time. Look,
- 26:30Speaker 1: I don't think this has anything to do with schools, right?
- 26:33Speaker 2: No, no, not at all.
- 26:35Speaker 6: For a start, David, I think you're dealing with a generation,
- 26:38Speaker 6: not just in France, but also in the States and
- 26:40Speaker 6: most of Europe, that are politically, spiritually, philosophically homeless.
- 26:45Speaker 2: They don't know what they believe.
- 26:47Speaker 6: So why should Greta turn up in France to support them?
- 26:49Speaker 2: Who needs her?
- 26:50Speaker 6: She is a homeless person when it comes to those definitions.
- 26:54Speaker 6: But I think more so, what we're seeing in France,
- 26:57Speaker 6: or more so Paris, is a real case study for
- 27:02Speaker 6: immigration cases in the US. Like anything else, this protest
- 27:07Speaker 6: started with sincere things, poor facilities, bad education, even faculty
- 27:14Speaker 6: and staff, join the protests, but then it accelerated to
- 27:18Speaker 6: something else. So what has Palestine got to do with
- 27:21Speaker 6: the complaint of bad schooling, education and facilities in France?
- 27:25Speaker 2: Nothing.
- 27:26Speaker 6: It's an evidence that there are multiple layers of immigrants
- 27:31Speaker 6: that are carrying an ideology that just follow around every
- 27:35Speaker 6: riot that's out there to imprint on them their ideology.
- 27:39Speaker 6: And that's easily done when someone's politically, spiritually, philosophically homeless.
- 27:45Speaker 6: And that's what we're seeing in Paris. But I think
- 27:48Speaker 6: the two things that we can learn from in a
- 27:51Speaker 6: case study here is integration and immigration. So immigration is
- 27:57Speaker 6: relatively easy, but integration is hard. How do you allow
- 28:01Speaker 6: people into your country to see what we're seeing on
- 28:03Speaker 6: the screen right now? How do you allow people into
- 28:06Speaker 6: the country with different cultures and languages and religions and
- 28:10Speaker 6: ideas and expect them to hold the same civic shared responsibilities? Now,
- 28:15Speaker 6: that's a harder thing to do than immigration. And so
- 28:19Speaker 6: I think there are things to be studied here, learned here,
- 28:22Speaker 6: so we don't see right across the major cities in
- 28:25Speaker 6: the United States legitimate protests that accelerate through immigration, through
- 28:31Speaker 6: immigrants adding to it with private money to make it anarchy.
- 28:35Speaker 2: That's my initial observation.
- 28:37Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, and I have an observation as well
- 28:40Speaker 1: with respect to that. And some of the words you
- 28:43Speaker 1: mentioned make me think, like, I think they aren't homeless, necessarily.
- 28:47Speaker 1: I think they do have a home. I think the
- 28:49Speaker 1: home just isn't what they're pretending it to be. Their
- 28:52Speaker 1: home is within the socialist, communist movement that's spreading throughout
- 28:56Speaker 1: Europe and even in the United States. And more so
- 28:59Speaker 1: than that, I think with all the migrants and immigrants
- 29:01Speaker 1: and all these folks that you see joining every riot
- 29:04Speaker 1: that they love joining, it seems, I think there's an
- 29:07Speaker 1: assimilation happening, too. And that assimilation is, again, with the
- 29:11Speaker 1: communists and the socialists. And if you combine the ideology
- 29:15Speaker 1: and then every opportunity to take that ideology and tie
- 29:18Speaker 1: it to whatever cause they think people be sympathetic towards
- 29:21Speaker 1: that ideology, I think that's playing out in real time
- 29:23Speaker 1: in France because that Palestinian flag and Greta Thunberg, just
- 29:27Speaker 1: those two things for me are evidence enough that this
- 29:30Speaker 1: is a larger, typical communist takeover of whatever cause and opportunity.
- 29:36Speaker 1: Elections coming up, trying to drive public opinion, tying it
- 29:39Speaker 1: to a legitimate issue by using Marxist radical philosophies and
- 29:42Speaker 1: Marxist radical political principles. And we've seen the United States, too.
- 29:45Speaker 1: That Palestine flag might as well have the, you know, the...
- 29:50Speaker 1: whatever communist symbol you want to use, that fist or
- 29:52Speaker 1: the little sickle or whatever they want to use, that
- 29:55Speaker 1: flag might as well show communist on it. Because whether
- 29:58Speaker 1: it's BLM, whether it's the Palestinian flag, whether it's whatever
- 30:03Speaker 1: flag they want to fly, it's honestly the same flag.
- 30:06Speaker 1: It's just a costume of communism, right?
- 30:09Speaker 2: Yeah, it is. No, I totally agree, David, with you.
- 30:12Speaker 6: But when I say the politically, spiritually, philosophically homeless, what
- 30:17Speaker 6: I mean is they don't know what they believe. And
- 30:20Speaker 6: socialism actually fills in the blanks. And we all know
- 30:24Speaker 6: from a light reading of socialism, you know, over a
- 30:28Speaker 6: Sunday afternoon and a cup of coffee, that it.
- 30:30Speaker 2: Always leads to disaster.
- 30:33Speaker 6: You lose your home, you lose your integrity, you lose innovation,
- 30:36Speaker 6: you lose everything. Look, I admire Bernie Sanders for being consistent.
- 30:41Speaker 6: I disagree with absolutely everything he is saying, but at
- 30:44Speaker 6: least the man's consistent. He's wrong, but he's consistent. That's
- 30:49Speaker 6: not these riots that turns into anarchy. That's quite something else.
- 30:54Speaker 6: You see, when it comes to those two things again,
- 30:57Speaker 6: integration and immigration, you've got to look at the construct
- 31:00Speaker 6: of a country. Can it house people? Can it educate them?
- 31:03Speaker 6: Can it employ them? Can it teach them English? What
- 31:07Speaker 6: about medical facilities and first responders? So all these moronic
- 31:12Speaker 6: ideas of open borders in Europe and open borders in
- 31:15Speaker 6: the United States that, you know, the Wolverine from Michigan,
- 31:19Speaker 6: Abdul Al-Sayed, wants... is useless when it comes to, can
- 31:25Speaker 6: America have a construct to do this?
- 31:27Speaker 2: And the answer is no.
- 31:28Speaker 6: You could put people through immigration as I went through immigration,
- 31:32Speaker 6: but can you teach them civic responsibility that is shared?
- 31:35Speaker 2: David, for a second, let me read to you.
- 31:37Speaker 6: I have a letter here from President Barack Obama when
- 31:41Speaker 6: I became a naturalized citizen of the United States. People
- 31:44Speaker 6: don't talk about this, but listen to this. This could
- 31:46Speaker 6: be Donald Trump's signature on it as well. It's a
- 31:49Speaker 6: standardized letter. It tells me, you represent the promise of
- 31:53Speaker 6: the American dream.
- 31:55Speaker 2: This is a.
- 31:55Speaker 6: Letter from the White House, now being a naturalized citizen.
- 31:59Speaker 6: You've sworn a solemn oath to this country. You share
- 32:02Speaker 6: its privilege and responsibilities. Our democratic principles and liberties are
- 32:06Speaker 6: now yours to uphold.
- 32:08Speaker 2: Be involved in your community. Promote the values that guide
- 32:12Speaker 2: us as Americans.
- 32:13Speaker 6: Work hard and with honesty, courage and fair play and tolerance,
- 32:16Speaker 6: loyalty and patriotism. And since our founding, generations of immigrants
- 32:21Speaker 6: have come to this country full of hope for a
- 32:23Speaker 6: bright future, and they have made sacrifices in order to
- 32:27Speaker 6: pass that legacy on to you and your children and grandchildren.
- 32:31Speaker 2: This is the price of citizenship. Blah, blah, blah. You
- 32:35Speaker 2: know what I'm seeing in France?
- 32:38Speaker 6: You can take that letter, look at France and apply
- 32:41Speaker 6: it to what we see in the United States and
- 32:43Speaker 6: think you could send them a letter But how are
- 32:46Speaker 6: you going to help them integrate and become that? Someone
- 32:51Speaker 6: that is born in another country, maybe a different skin color,
- 32:54Speaker 6: maybe a different belief system, but they hold and share
- 32:57Speaker 6: the same values.
- 32:58Speaker 2: That's the problem we face. That's the case study in France.
- 33:02Speaker 6: And I think what you're talking about, about Greta and
- 33:05Speaker 6: the rest of those Muppets that go along there, is
- 33:08Speaker 6: just adding to their own, can I say.
- 33:10Speaker 2: Brand identity. and fundraising.
- 33:12Speaker 6: It has nothing to do with what's actually happening in Paris, France,
- 33:17Speaker 6: and the same thing stateside. Look, I mean, the French,
- 33:21Speaker 6: they've had at least seven revolutions. We've had one, 1776,
- 33:26Speaker 6: and that's when they kicked my people out. But the
- 33:28Speaker 6: United States has welcomed me back after so many years
- 33:33Speaker 6: as an Englishman to become a citizen.
- 33:35Speaker 2: And this letter, I uphold it. I adhere to it.
- 33:39Speaker 6: It requires responsibility and commitment. And that's the bottom line
- 33:44Speaker 6: for all these anarchy riots. We have a civic responsibility.
- 33:49Speaker 6: The question is, how do we implement that?
- 33:53Speaker 2: Dr.
- 33:53Speaker 1: Fox, a cup of coffee with you on a Sunday.
- 33:57Speaker 1: I would learn a ton. The professor, I learned so
- 33:59Speaker 1: much from you. Thank you so much for being here
- 34:01Speaker 1: as always. Always a pleasure. Look forward to talking to
- 34:03Speaker 1: you again real soon, my friend. I have a feeling
- 34:04Speaker 1: this France riot stuff isn't going to stop anytime soon.
- 34:07Speaker 1: So I'm sure we'll have a follow-up shortly.
- 34:10Speaker 2: Thank you, David.
- 34:10Speaker 1: Thank you, my friend. Coming up, a Houthi missile tore
- 34:16Speaker 1: into the main airport in Saudi Arabia's capital. It killed
- 34:20Speaker 1: an American. Now, Aramco's headquarters energy we're talking about now
- 34:25Speaker 1: has been hit. And under a parking lot on a
- 34:29Speaker 1: tiny Pacific island, a team found the remains of 35
- 34:33Speaker 1: American servicemen who'd been missing since World War II. I
- 34:37Speaker 1: have musician Mark Noah of History Flight here. Don't go anywhere.
- 34:50Speaker 5: For all of our viewers out there asking where to

- 35:16Speaker 5: you can't get anywhere else.
- 35:26Speaker 1: It was getting a little too quiet in the Strait
- 35:29Speaker 1: of Hormuz with just weeks to go until the midterm elections.
- 35:34Speaker 1: Energy prices stabilizing, diesel flowing. But right on cue, another
- 35:39Speaker 1: one of Iran's terror proxies, the Houthis in Yemen, decided
- 35:44Speaker 1: to ratchet up attacks against Saudi Arabia. The consequences just
- 35:48Speaker 1: got deadlier. On Saturday, a ballistic missile slammed into the
- 35:52Speaker 1: passenger terminals of At Riyadh's main airport, 13 people are
- 35:56Speaker 1: dead and more than 300 were wounded. One of the
- 36:00Speaker 1: dead was an American. The fight goes back to July.
- 36:03Speaker 1: Saudi-backed Yemeni forces bomb the airport in Sana'a, the Houthi capital.
- 36:09Speaker 1: They say it was shuttling Houthi delegations to and from Iran.
- 36:14Speaker 1: The Houthis answered with missiles and declared a naval blockade
- 36:18Speaker 1: of Saudi Arabia. They claimed hits on Saudi oil tankers.
- 36:22Speaker 1: The truce... had held in Yemen since 2022, and now
- 36:26Speaker 1: it has collapsed. This month, they went after the oil
- 36:30Speaker 1: and the airports. October 3rd, the Houthis claimed a strike
- 36:34Speaker 1: on an Armco facility south of Riyadh. Then five airports hit.
- 36:38Speaker 1: A Saudi airliner was destroyed on the ground in Riyadh,
- 36:41Speaker 1: and a Saudi pilot was among the dead. Airlines halted
- 36:45Speaker 1: flights across the The airport attacks 19 dead. And on Tuesday,
- 36:49Speaker 1: the Houthis fired a missile at Dharan, where Aramco is headquartered.
- 36:54Speaker 1: The Saudis say they intercepted it, but a fire broke
- 36:56Speaker 1: out in an administrative building at the compound. Now, the
- 37:00Speaker 1: Houthis told civilians near any Aramco site they should get out.
- 37:04Speaker 1: So it tells you what the focus of their attacks are.
- 37:07Speaker 1: The Saudis call Saturday's strike a full-fledged war crime. On Tuesday,
- 37:12Speaker 1: they hit Houthi oil sites in Sana'a and across the
- 37:15Speaker 1: Houthi territory. And now Brent crude is over $ 106 a barrel.
- 37:21Speaker 1: And the president knows exactly what this is. On Truth Social,
- 37:25Speaker 1: they've been silent for a long time, but now they've
- 37:28Speaker 1: emerged again, probably at the behest of Iran. Rogers reports
- 37:34Speaker 1: he accused the Houthis of trying to drive up oil
- 37:36Speaker 1: prices before the midterms. His warning is, I'll be there
- 37:40Speaker 1: after the elections, and I will never forget. What's the play?
- 37:45Speaker 1: In the Strait of Hormuz, British maritime authorities have logged
- 37:48Speaker 1: 15 attacks on ships since October 6th as Iran steps
- 37:51Speaker 1: up its campaign. And on Tuesday, two senior Iranian officials
- 37:55Speaker 1: told Reuters that Tehran won't let President Trump bring down
- 37:59Speaker 1: oil prices before the November elections. One of them called
- 38:02Speaker 1: it a game of chess.
- 38:05Speaker 2: The U.S.
- 38:05Speaker 1: Navy has kept Gulf oil moving anyway, and American warships
- 38:09Speaker 1: have blockaded Iran's ports since July. So now Iran's proxy
- 38:14Speaker 1: in Yemen is going after the oil from the other
- 38:16Speaker 1: side of the Arabian Peninsula three weeks before an American election.
- 38:22Speaker 1: Will America hit back? Well, asked whether he'd join the
- 38:26Speaker 1: Saudi strikes, the president said, I can't tell you that.
- 38:29Speaker 1: The Houthis say if America joins in, there will be
- 38:32Speaker 1: a swift and painful response targeting U.S. and all of
- 38:36Speaker 1: its interests in the region. I'm not scared. The State
- 38:40Speaker 1: Department is now warning Americans about attacks on Saudi airports.
- 38:44Speaker 1: Iran keeps a proxy for every front. Hezbollah has been
- 38:48Speaker 1: fighting in its own war on Lebanon. Now the Houthis
- 38:52Speaker 1: have taken the fight to Saudi Arabia. and an American
- 38:55Speaker 1: is dead. The question is, where does this go next?
- 38:58Speaker 1: Joining me now, former Trump campaign foreign policy advisor and
- 39:01Speaker 1: author of the excellent book, Deep State Target, George Papadopoulos.
- 39:05Speaker 1: Welcome back to David Pollak Prime Time. What do you
- 39:08Speaker 1: make of this latest escalation between the Houthis and the
- 39:12Speaker 1: Saudis seemingly targeting energy?
- 39:13Speaker 9: Yeah, it's great to be with you, David. Thanks for
- 39:16Speaker 9: having me. Look, the most important thing is that oil
- 39:20Speaker 9: is a central driver of the global economy. And uncertain
- 39:24Speaker 9: geopolitics drives volatility in not only markets, but in oil
- 39:30Speaker 9: and gas markets. So it's absolutely critical to come to
- 39:36Speaker 9: some sort of halt of these hostilities between the Houthis
- 39:41Speaker 9: and Saudi, because once we lower these oil prices with
- 39:46Speaker 9: just a couple of weeks to go before the midterms,
- 39:48Speaker 9: it's going to have a tremendous impact on potentially interest rates,
- 39:53Speaker 9: bond rates, and inflation, which are going to bode extremely
- 39:58Speaker 9: well for the American taxpayer industries in the United States
- 40:02Speaker 9: and the future of our economy. Now, this escalation by
- 40:08Speaker 9: the Houthis towards Saudi is designed not simply to increase
- 40:14Speaker 9: oil prices like some believe it will, because the Houthis
- 40:18Speaker 9: simply don't want a direct confrontation with the United States.
- 40:23Speaker 9: It's designed in order to pressure Saudi Arabia to come
- 40:27Speaker 9: to some sort of peace agreements and recognize the Houthis
- 40:31Speaker 9: as a basically as the de facto government of Yemen,
- 40:35Speaker 9: which they have been going to war with the internationally
- 40:38Speaker 9: recognized government in Yemen. So there's a lot of moving
- 40:42Speaker 9: parts here. But in terms of U.S. interests, as long
- 40:45Speaker 9: as U.S. mercantile shipping and tanker traffic is not directly
- 40:50Speaker 9: hit by the Houthis, I don't see the United States
- 40:53Speaker 9: intervening militarily to take them out. However, it is in
- 40:57Speaker 9: our interest to assure that Saudi Arabia does not continue
- 41:00Speaker 9: to get hit. So this is going to be a
- 41:02Speaker 9: very delicate balance with a couple of weeks to go
- 41:05Speaker 9: before the midterms.
- 41:06Speaker 1: It's really interesting that you mentioned the fact that the
- 41:09Speaker 1: Houthis want to be recognized as the leaders of the
- 41:12Speaker 1: recognized leadership in Yemen. Is the Yemeni's government, are they
- 41:17Speaker 1: asking for help to fight back this terror element that's
- 41:20Speaker 1: looking to take over?
- 41:22Speaker 9: Well, that's why this is such an interesting situation, because
- 41:25Speaker 9: Saudi Arabia has actually been arming and financing the internationally
- 41:31Speaker 9: UN-recognized government of Yemen against the Houthis for years. There's
- 41:36Speaker 9: been a blockade that Saudi Arabia has imposed against Yemen
- 41:40Speaker 9: that's really crippled Yemen. I mean, Yemen's one of the
- 41:44Speaker 9: poorest countries by every measurable economic metric in the world.
- 41:49Speaker 9: Some would even argue even poorer than Haiti. Yet, it
- 41:53Speaker 9: continues to be propped up by Iran in order to
- 41:59Speaker 9: basically pressure Saudi Arabia. And that's really what this ragtag
- 42:06Speaker 9: terrorist organization has managed to do against the international community's
- 42:11Speaker 9: imposition of blockade, the financing and the arming of the
- 42:17Speaker 9: government forces against them. So this is really what Saudi
- 42:21Speaker 9: Arabia is going to have to ask themselves as well.
- 42:25Speaker 9: How much longer can we continue this war against the
- 42:29Speaker 9: Houthis before we continue to have these major strikes on
- 42:34Speaker 9: our airports, on our refineries, and on our civilians? And
- 42:39Speaker 9: I don't know what that answer is, but leadership in
- 42:43Speaker 9: Saudi Arabia, if I would have to advise the current situation,
- 42:48Speaker 9: would be to come to a cessation of hostilities with
- 42:51Speaker 9: the Houthis, make sure that tanker traffic, oil traffic is
- 42:56Speaker 9: secure in the Red Sea so that we don't make
- 42:58Speaker 9: the Red Sea become another straight of war moves. That
- 43:01Speaker 9: will then prevent the Houthis from attacking Saudi Arabia, and
- 43:05Speaker 9: it will keep Iran's influence out of Yemen. At the
- 43:09Speaker 9: end of the day, the most important thing is to
- 43:11Speaker 9: make sure that Iran is weaker at the end of
- 43:13Speaker 9: this conflict. And as long as Saudi Arabia and Yemen
- 43:17Speaker 9: come to an agreement, that's ultimately what will happen to Iran.
- 43:20Speaker 2: Well, yeah.
- 43:21Speaker 1: And look, the weaker and weaker Iran gets, the less
- 43:23Speaker 1: support they're going to give to the Houthis. And I
- 43:25Speaker 1: think that is probably where this is going to be
- 43:28Speaker 1: focused from a U.S. perspective, as you just mentioned. If
- 43:31Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia and Yemen can figure out a solution to
- 43:33Speaker 1: this and we continue to weaken Iran. I think this
- 43:36Speaker 1: thing calms down a lot because what we don't want
- 43:37Speaker 1: to see is another front in another war that Americans
- 43:40Speaker 1: really don't have the appetite for. And I don't think
- 43:42Speaker 1: they want to pay any more at the pump either.
- 43:44Speaker 1: George Papadopoulos, always brilliant. Thank you so much for being here,
- 43:46Speaker 1: my friend. Appreciate it, David. Thank you. Thank you. Coming up, 71,783
- 43:54Speaker 1: Americans from World War II are still missing. Mark Noah's
- 43:58Speaker 1: team has recovered more than 400 of them and brought
- 44:02Speaker 1: them home. He joins me next on his story of
- 44:05Speaker 1: bringing our Americans home.

- 44:51Speaker 1: In the spring of 2015, under a parking lot on
- 44:55Speaker 1: a sliver of coral in the middle of the Pacific Ocean,
- 44:59Speaker 1: a privately funded team dug into a forgotten burial trench.
- 45:04Speaker 1: Inside were the remains of 35 American servicemen who had
- 45:09Speaker 1: been missing for 71 years. One was First Lieutenant Alexander
- 45:14Speaker 1: Bonnyman Jr. of Knoxville, Tennessee. His own grandson was working
- 45:18Speaker 1: the dig when he recognized his grandfather by his gold teeth. July,
- 45:22Speaker 1: the Pentagon's POW and MIA agency took custody of the
- 45:26Speaker 1: remains in a ceremony on the island and flew them
- 45:29Speaker 1: to its lab in Hawaii. On Tarawa, Lieutenant Bonneman led
- 45:35Speaker 1: a 21-man team against a Japanese blockhouse and was killed
- 45:39Speaker 1: fighting off a counterattack. He was 33. He received the
- 45:43Speaker 1: Medal of Honor. That September, he was finally buried in
- 45:47Speaker 1: Knoxville next to his parents. The island is Beitiau. It's
- 45:52Speaker 1: in the Tarwa Atoll, which I guess is like a
- 45:55Speaker 1: shelf of coral. On November 20th in 1943, the 2nd
- 46:00Speaker 1: Marine Division hit the beach. More than 18,000 Marines and
- 46:04Speaker 1: sailors went in against about 4,500 Japanese defenders. In three days,
- 46:09Speaker 1: about 1,000 Marines and sailors were killed and more than 2,000
- 46:13Speaker 1: were wounded. They were buried fast in temporary graves. The
- 46:16Speaker 1: National World War II Museum says almost half of the
- 46:20Speaker 1: known casualties were never found. Decades later, hundreds were still
- 46:24Speaker 1: on that island under yards, trash pits, pigsties. History Flight's
- 46:29Speaker 1: founder put it this way. This isn't really the context
- 46:33Speaker 1: that people expected to rest eternally. There are 71,783 Americans
- 46:40Speaker 1: from World War II still unaccounted for. This is by
- 46:43Speaker 1: the Pentagon's own count. The man behind History Flight, went
- 46:47Speaker 1: looking for them himself. He's a historian, trained at Emory,
- 46:51Speaker 1: the former lead singer of a Georgia punk band called
- 46:54Speaker 1: the Antiheroes, a retired airline pilot who flew everything from
- 46:58Speaker 1: B-25 bombers to a Boeing 767. And he started history
- 47:03Speaker 1: flight in 2003 and raised money giving rides in vintage warplanes.
- 47:08Speaker 1: His team found that burial trench in 2011, four years
- 47:12Speaker 1: before the dig. 2015, they recovered confidence 35 sets of
- 47:15Speaker 1: remains in 2017, 24 more. History Flight says those are
- 47:20Speaker 1: the largest recoveries of American battlefield remains since the Korean War.
- 47:24Speaker 1: By its count, more than 50 missions, more than 400
- 47:28Speaker 1: missing Americans recovered, and 165 identified. Along the way, he
- 47:32Speaker 1: found official records were often wrong in many and multifaceted ways. 2015.
- 47:39Speaker 1: The commandant of the US Marine Corps made him an
- 47:42Speaker 1: honorary Marine at the National Museum of the Marine Corps.
- 47:46Speaker 1: He was one of only 94 people ever given that
- 47:50Speaker 1: title since 1992. His words, this is unwritten history that
- 47:55Speaker 1: we are writing today. Some of those Marines waited 71
- 47:59Speaker 1: years for somebody to come looking, and now they're home.
- 48:03Speaker 1: Joining me now, history flight founder, historian, honorary Marine, Mark Noah,
- 48:08Speaker 1: welcome to David Pollack Prime Time. What a life you've led,
- 48:11Speaker 1: and what an amazing way to honor those fallen in
- 48:15Speaker 1: World War II. Talk about how this came to be
- 48:17Speaker 1: and what you've been able to accomplish.
- 48:20Speaker 10: Well, thanks very much for having me on, and certainly
- 48:24Speaker 10: the effort has not been about me. The effort has
- 48:28Speaker 10: been about the missing people, and we approach that subject
- 48:31Speaker 10: with a very sincere but very serious attitude. attitude and
- 48:38Speaker 10: being serious about the work and treating the search and
- 48:42Speaker 10: recovery work like you would treat a business venture has
- 48:46Speaker 10: actually been a good combination. We've been able to be
- 48:50Speaker 10: really focused on the work that we're doing and to
- 48:53Speaker 10: be highly successful at it. We've done it since about 2003.
- 49:00Speaker 10: We started the program at that time and started initially
- 49:04Speaker 10: doing Rides in World War II airplanes and using the
- 49:07Speaker 10: operating profit from it to fund the search for the missing.
- 49:11Speaker 10: But eventually I came to realize that the people that
- 49:14Speaker 10: flew the planes back then and that are still missing
- 49:17Speaker 10: are more important than the planes themselves. So, um, we
- 49:21Speaker 10: eventually sold out of all of the airplanes that the
- 49:25Speaker 10: organization was operating and, uh, put the money into the
- 49:29Speaker 10: search for the missing. And, um, in the summer of, um, 2015,
- 49:34Speaker 10: like you mentioned, we did, um, excavate a very large
- 49:39Speaker 10: mass grave that we've been searching for for a long time.
- 49:42Speaker 10: And there were 35 that were recovered in the burial
- 49:46Speaker 10: trench in the summer of 2015, but the burial trench
- 49:50Speaker 10: actually went under a building. So in the winter of 2016,
- 49:57Speaker 10: our vice president at the time, Glenn Prentice, who's a
- 50:01Speaker 10: former Vietnam veteran, Marine, who passed away recently, a wonderful man.
- 50:07Speaker 10: He had been one of the city managers of the
- 50:11Speaker 10: city of San Diego when he came back after the
- 50:14Speaker 10: Vietnam War. And I said to him, what are we
- 50:18Speaker 10: going to do? Are we going to have to buy
- 50:21Speaker 10: this building and then tear it down to excavate underneath it?
- 50:24Speaker 10: Because you could see the burial trench go actually right
- 50:26Speaker 10: underneath the foundation.
- 50:27Speaker 2: Of the building.
- 50:28Speaker 10: And he said, no, we can hire an engineering firm
- 50:32Speaker 10: and put braces underneath the structure of the floor and
- 50:38Speaker 10: hold the building in place and then dig down through
- 50:41Speaker 10: the floor.
- 50:42Speaker 2: And so that's what we did.
- 50:43Speaker 10: And we dug down through the floor and recovered an
- 50:46Speaker 10: additional 11 Marines and Navy corpsmen that were buried underneath
- 50:51Speaker 10: the building, including a first lieutenant named George Busa, who
- 50:56Speaker 10: was actually killed at Bonnyman's Bunker in the attack that
- 51:00Speaker 10: went against the bunker the day before Bonneman was killed.
- 51:04Speaker 10: And George Busa had an infant daughter when he was killed.
- 51:09Speaker 10: And when he was identified, we were invited to his funeral.
- 51:14Speaker 10: And at Arlington, we met his daughter and we met
- 51:18Speaker 10: his grandchildren and his great-grandchildren. And so it really shows
- 51:22Speaker 10: you how current this issue is, even though these people...
- 51:29Speaker 10: lost their lives in combat such a long time ago,
- 51:32Speaker 10: their families are all still there. And they're still, it's
- 51:35Speaker 10: just as important to them today as it was back
- 51:39Speaker 10: 80 years ago.
- 51:40Speaker 1: Yeah, it is such an honorable undertaking, such an important one.
- 51:44Speaker 1: And if people want to come and support your organization
- 51:47Speaker 1: and learn more about the work you do, where do
- 51:49Speaker 1: you want to send them?
- 51:51Speaker 10: They can go to www.historyflight.org. so just history flight, singular.com. And, um,
- 52:01Speaker 10: and they can, you know, we've received everything from $ 2
- 52:04Speaker 10: and 17 cents from a homeless veteran who sent it
- 52:07Speaker 10: to us in an, in an envelope, uh, to, you know,
- 52:11Speaker 10: Fred Smith, the founder of the FedEx corporation donated a
- 52:15Speaker 10: very large amount of money to us. And, and, um, so,
- 52:19Speaker 10: and we've always put it right into the programs, you know,
- 52:22Speaker 10: like I've worked at the, at the project for 23
- 52:24Speaker 10: years now as a volunteer. And, uh, And so we've
- 52:28Speaker 10: run it like a business so that we can be
- 52:31Speaker 10: very effective and stretch the finances out so that they
- 52:35Speaker 10: can make the biggest bang for the buck.
- 52:37Speaker 1: Well, you've done amazing work, my friend. I really appreciate
- 52:39Speaker 1: you joining, and thank you for bringing our boys home.
- 52:42Speaker 1: Good luck to you, my friend, and wishes for more
