Speaker 1: 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, an ICE officer forced a fire
0:15
Speaker 1: into a Honda CRV in Marble Hill in Bronx, the Bronx.
0:20
Speaker 1: That night, the mayor of New York City had spent
0:24
Speaker 1: two hours on the phone with President Trump and his
0:28
Speaker 1: Homeland Security secretary trying to get the man who ICE
0:32
Speaker 1: apprehended set free. THE CROWD, THE RIOTERS, THE PROTESTERS GOT
0:39
Speaker 1: THERE BEFORE THE FACTS EVEN DID. WITHIN HOURS, PEOPLE WERE
0:42
Speaker 1: AT THE SCENE SHOUTING AT ICE AGENTS WHILE THEY WERE
0:44
Speaker 1: STILL INVESTIGATING. IT'S MINNEAPOLIS ALL OVER AGAIN. BY NIGHTFALL, HUNDREDS
0:50
Speaker 1: HAD SURROUNDED THE HOSPITAL. ICE OFF OUR STREET SIGNS IN HANDS.
0:55
Speaker 1: THEY SHOVED POLICE AT THE BARRICADES. THEY THREW BOTTLES AT OFFICERS.
0:59
Speaker 1: WHEN ICE DROVE AROUND 11, THEY HAD TO GO.
1:04
Speaker 2: THROUGH THE MOB.
1:06
Speaker 1: THE PEOPLE WHO RUN NEW YORK, THEY DIDN'T WAIT FOR
1:10
Speaker 1: A SINGLE FACT EITHER, RIGHT ALONG WITH THE MOB JUMPING
1:13
Speaker 1: TO JUDGMENT. THE GOVERNOR GOT THE PRESIDENT AND THE HOMELAND
1:17
Speaker 1: SECURITY SECRETARY ON THE PHONE AND IN HER WORDS URGED
1:19
Speaker 1: THEM TO HALT ICE ENFORCEMENT OPERATIONS IN NEW YORK. SHE
1:22
Speaker 1: CALLED ICE A ROGUE FEDERAL AGENCY. THE BRONX BUREAU PRESIDENT
1:26
Speaker 1: SAID SHE WANTS ICE OUT OF HER The public advocate
1:34
Speaker 1: called ICE a rogue agency controlled by Donald Trump. The
1:38
Speaker 1: Democratic nominee for Congress in Upper Manhattan said abolish ICE.
1:44
Speaker 1: And the mayor, well, he said this.
1:46
Speaker 3: They wore construction vests and masks that concealed their faces.
1:50
Speaker 3: There was no reasonable way to identify them as ICE agents.
1:55
Speaker 2: School had just gotten out.
1:57
Speaker 3: The street was crowded with families and children.
2:00
Speaker 2: When ICE agents opened fire, a five-year-old.
2:03
Speaker 3: Child, a five-year-old child was in the backseat of the car.
2:08
Speaker 3: We know, and I have said this directly, whether to
2:11
Speaker 3: the president or to the public, ICE undermines public safety.
2:16
Speaker 4: It makes us less safe. I'M NOT GOING TO TALK
2:19
Speaker 4: ABOUT THAT. I'M NOT GOING TO TALK ABOUT THAT.
2:21
Speaker 2: NEW YORK CITY WILL NOT STAND BY WHILE.
2:22
Speaker 4: ICE AGENTS SHOOT NEW YORKERS.
2:23
Speaker 3: AND WE WILL NOT BACK DOWN FROM THE DEMAND THAT
2:26
Speaker 3: SO MANY, INCLUDING MYSELF, HAVE PUT FORWARD TIME AND AGAIN.
2:30
Speaker 2: THIS IS AN AGENCY THAT MUST BE ABOLISHED.
2:34
Speaker 1: SO YOU'VE SEEN THE OUTRAGE. NOW LET'S ENTER THE FACTS
2:39
Speaker 1: INTO THE RECORD, SHALL WE? IN THIS COUNTRY ILLEGALLY. ACCORDING
2:51
Speaker 1: TO HOMELAND SECURITY, ICE SAYS THAT WHEN AGENTS MOVED IN,
2:55
Speaker 1: HE REFUSED TO GET OUT. HE ACTUALLY HIT THE ACCELERATOR,
2:59
Speaker 1: RAMMED TWO ICE VEHICLES AND DROVE AT THE OFFICERS.
3:04
Speaker 2: SOUND FAMILIAR?
3:05
Speaker 1: HIS 5-YEAR-OLD SON WAS IN THE BACK SEAT AND HE
3:09
Speaker 1: DID IT ANYWAY. THE HOMELAND SECURITY SECONDARY SAYS THE AGENTS
3:13
Speaker 1: DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THE BOY WAS THERE. AND THAT BELGAL
3:17
Speaker 1: USED HIS CAR AS A WEAPON WITH HIS OWN CHILD
3:19
Speaker 1: INSIDE THE BODY CAMERA VIDEO HE SAYS IS COMING. RECORD,
3:24
Speaker 1: ACCORDING TO ICE, READY FOR THIS? THIS IS THE GUY,
3:28
Speaker 1: YOU KNOW, THE NEIGHBOR THAT EVERYBODY IS CHANTING TO PROTECT.
3:32
Speaker 1: A GRAND LARCENY CONVICTION THAT'S STEALING VERY EXPENSIVE STUFF. FIVE
3:37
Speaker 1: YEARS PROBATION LAST YEAR, ARRESTS FOR ASSAULT, ROBBERY, DRUG POSSESSION,
3:42
Speaker 1: WEAPONS POSSESSION.
3:44
Speaker 2: A DRUG CASE STILL PENDING. LEGAL ALIEN CRIMINAL.
3:49
Speaker 1: HOMELAND SECURITY TIES HIM TO GANG ACTIVITY AND IN DECEMBER
3:54
Speaker 1: 2023 THE NEW YORK PD HAD HIM IN CUSTODY AND
3:56
Speaker 1: THEY LET HIM GO AFTER A FEW DAYS BECAUSE, WELL,
3:58
Speaker 1: IT'S A SANCTUARY CITY. ICE SAYS NEW YORK'S SANCTUARY POLICIES
4:03
Speaker 1: ARE THE REASON THIS MAN IS ON THE STREET. And
4:06
Speaker 1: that's the man the mayor spent two hours trying to free,
4:10
Speaker 1: egging on an angry mob. These are the people they're protecting.
4:14
Speaker 1: And they're all talking about this child in the backseat.
4:19
Speaker 1: And he's only in danger because his papa, Oscar Belgal,
4:24
Speaker 1: put him in danger. Secretary Mark Wayne Mullen's press conference
4:29
Speaker 1: was interrupted by reporters, putting the blame on ICE, of course,
4:32
Speaker 1: but he shut that down pretty quickly.
4:35
Speaker 2: Take a look.
4:36
Speaker 5: All you're doing here is you're trying to take us
4:38
Speaker 5: someplace else because you know that we arrested the worst
4:41
Speaker 5: of the worst last night, and you're trying to bring
4:43
Speaker 5: up something else that's controversial?
4:45
Speaker 4: This is what I hate about fake news.
4:47
Speaker 5: You guys, when we're doing a press conference on something,
4:50
Speaker 5: you guys want to completely steer away when you realize
4:52
Speaker 5: that this isn't someone that you should be defending. And
4:55
Speaker 5: you bring up something as ridiculous as that.
4:58
Speaker 1: 25 days until the midterms. And you can watch the
5:01
Speaker 1: narrative being built in real time. Wednesday night at Union Square,
5:06
Speaker 1: at the vigil we talked about this earlier this week,
5:09
Speaker 1: marking the October 7th.
5:11
Speaker 2: Terror attack on Israel.
5:14
Speaker 1: PROTESTERS GRABBED THOSE MEMORIAL CANDLES, MOCKED THE PEOPLE THERE TO
5:19
Speaker 1: REMEMBER THE VICTIMS WITH A JEWISH SONG, HAVA NEGELA.
5:23
Speaker 2: THAT CORNELL CASE, I MEAN, EVERYBODY'S BEEN TALKING ABOUT THAT.
5:27
Speaker 1: DISTRICT ATTORNEY DECLINED TO CHARGE IT IN 2024 BECAUSE THE
5:30
Speaker 1: EVIDENCE WAS REALLY BAD. AND NOW IT'S BEING SOLD AS
5:32
Speaker 1: THE NEXT ME TOO CRUSADE. THEY SAY, SALON SAYS ME
5:37
Speaker 1: TOO DIDN'T GO FAR ENOUGH. EVEN AS THE ACCUSER'S OWN
5:40
Speaker 1: TEXT And then, of course, you have the president's comments
5:45
Speaker 1: about Los Angeles and San Diego being suggested that he
5:49
Speaker 1: was talking about Iran taking out U.S.
5:52
Speaker 2: Cities. All of it. They sow this chaos and crisis,
5:56
Speaker 2: and then they lie.
5:57
Speaker 1: About every situation to justify all these far-left radical policies.
6:01
Speaker 1: And look at who's asking for the keys to Congress. Michigan,
6:06
Speaker 1: the Democrat running for Senate, Abdul El-Said. He says immigration
6:10
Speaker 1: law is not criminal law. It's like getting a parking ticket.
6:14
Speaker 1: I DON'T WANT TO GO TO THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE.
6:15
Speaker 1: I DON'T WANT TO GO TO THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE.
6:16
Speaker 2: PARKING TICKETS. AND HE SAYS ICE IS NOT REFORMABLE. ICE
6:18
Speaker 2: IS NOT RETRAINABLE AND IT MUST BE ABOLISHED.
6:22
Speaker 1: IN MAINE, DEMOCRATS GAVE MORE THAN 70% OF THEIR SENATE
6:26
Speaker 1: PRIMARY VOTE TO A GUY NAMED GREEN PLATINUM.
6:28
Speaker 2: REMEMBER HIM? THE MAN WHO WROTE THAT RURAL WHITE.
6:31
Speaker 1: AMERICANS WERE RACIST AND STUPID, CALLED ALL POLICE BASTARDS AND
6:34
Speaker 1: POSTED I GOT OLDER AND BECAME A COMMUNIST.
6:37
Speaker 2: SAYS HE WAS JOKING ABOUT ALL He had a sexual assault.
6:44
Speaker 1: Allegation, although he denies it. And in Texas, the Democrats'
6:47
Speaker 1: rising star, James, where in the world are you, Talafrico?
6:53
Speaker 1: He hasn't been seen in person since September 26th. He
6:57
Speaker 1: made it to a Robert De Niro fundraiser in New York,
7:00
Speaker 1: and then he just vanished.
7:02
Speaker 2: They say he's going to be back. We'll see. In
7:04
Speaker 2: San Antonio, his opponent asked, Ken Paxton asked this question.
7:10
Speaker 6: Where do you think they hid that little socialist?
7:14
Speaker 2: So I want you to help because the media hasn't.
7:15
Speaker 4: Been really asking, where is he?
7:17
Speaker 6: They would be asking where I was after two minutes.
7:21
Speaker 2: That's a really weird story.
7:22
Speaker 1: I'm not going to cover the speculation of where they
7:24
Speaker 1: think he is, but it's going to be an interesting twist.
7:27
Speaker 1: We'll see where that one goes. But look, these are
7:29
Speaker 1: the people trying to take power in November.
7:32
Speaker 2: This is what they do.
7:33
Speaker 1: They take every opportunity to manufacture a narrative, in some
7:36
Speaker 1: instances creating the crisis themselves. Then they point the blame
7:40
Speaker 1: at the other side, turn a blind eye to the
7:42
Speaker 1: violence they cause. They don't care about you or this country.
7:46
Speaker 1: They just care about the power they so desperately seek.
7:49
Speaker 1: And no narrative is safe. No community is immune. And
7:53
Speaker 1: it'll only get worse the closer we get to both
7:55
Speaker 1: the midterms and to 2028.
7:58
Speaker 2: So stay informed. Stay strong. Stay tuned.
8:03
Speaker 1: I WANT YOU TO STAND UP AND STAY VIGILANT. AND IMPORTANTLY,
8:05
Speaker 1: THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU CAN DO, GO VOTE. AND
8:11
Speaker 1: VOTE REPUBLICAN UP AND DOWN THE TICKET.
8:19
Speaker 2: Welcome, my friend.
8:20
Speaker 1: Look, this is just part of the midterm messaging strategy
8:25
Speaker 1: for the left, right? Anti-ICE, anti-Israel, you know, every opportunity
8:32
Speaker 1: to just throw this country into chaos and make it
8:35
Speaker 1: seem like we're the bad guys for enforcing the law.
8:38
Speaker 1: What do you make of this latest push to resurrect
8:41
Speaker 1: an anti-ICE narrative with just weeks to go?
8:45
Speaker 6: Well, it's interesting, right?
8:46
Speaker 7: Because they think they won Minneapolis.
8:49
Speaker 6: And so, you know, they're trying to run up the score.
8:53
Speaker 7: But I think that a lot of the base was
8:56
Speaker 7: upset when we left Minneapolis.
8:58
Speaker 6: They don't understand why we left Minneapolis.
9:01
Speaker 7: We feel like the U.S. government, the federales... President Trump
9:06
Speaker 7: were chased out of Minneapolis. And the fact that the
9:10
Speaker 7: president and ICE are reengaging in New York City, that's
9:14
Speaker 7: going to turn a lot of people on.
9:16
Speaker 6: That's going to help in New York State. It's going
9:18
Speaker 6: to help in the tri-state area.
9:20
Speaker 7: And nationally, that's going to send the message to Trump
9:23
Speaker 7: supporters that this is what's at stake, David.
9:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, you're exactly right. I mean, they
9:30
Speaker 2: thought this was going to be a good one for them.
9:32
Speaker 2: They're like, ah, yes. And they had the signs pre-printed.
9:35
Speaker 2: You know, you have to wonder.
9:36
Speaker 1: I mean, this guy was politically active. You have to
9:38
Speaker 1: wonder if the whole damn thing was a setup.
9:40
Speaker 2: Who knows?
9:41
Speaker 1: But the interesting part is they thought this was going
9:43
Speaker 1: to be their Minneapolis, but didn't go as they planned
9:46
Speaker 1: because this guy turns out to be a really bad guy.
9:49
Speaker 1: Now they're making it over the five-year-old in the backseat,
9:51
Speaker 1: not the illegal alien. But I really don't think this
9:55
Speaker 1: is going to work exactly like you said. And if
9:57
Speaker 1: you look across the country, their whole narrative is falling apart.
10:08
Speaker 2: AFTER THE MIDTERMS.
10:10
Speaker 1: YOU KNOW, AFFORDABILITY, THE WHOLE ARGUMENT FOR AFFORDABILITY IS REALLY
10:13
Speaker 1: GETTING WEAKENED BY THE FACT THAT PRICES ARE COMING DOWN.
10:16
Speaker 1: THE ECONOMIC NUMBERS ARE STRONGER AND STRONGER EVERY SINGLE DAY.
10:19
Speaker 2: SO THEN DEMOCRATS ARE WATCHING IN REAL TIME THEIR ENTIRE MIDTERM.
10:25
Speaker 7: Well, the Democrats always want to fight on economic or
10:28
Speaker 7: materialistic themes. And that's not where conservatives win. Conservatives win
10:35
Speaker 7: on the social issues and the other issues. So yeah,
10:38
Speaker 7: I'm not happy about the price of gas. But that
10:41
Speaker 7: doesn't mean I want illegals to steal my job. That
10:44
Speaker 7: doesn't mean I want an open border. That doesn't mean
10:48
Speaker 7: I want teachers secretly turning my son into a girl.
10:52
Speaker 7: Like there's a whole raft of issues where the president
10:56
Speaker 7: and the Republican Party is extremely popular and the American
11:00
Speaker 7: people agree. And that's what people need to be talking
11:04
Speaker 7: about who are running these campaigns.
11:06
Speaker 6: That's where you win. And so, yes, are people upset
11:09
Speaker 6: about gas prices?
11:10
Speaker 7: Of course, but everyone understands that the gas prices are
11:14
Speaker 7: coming down when we settle things with the Iranians. And
11:17
Speaker 7: everyone understands that if you want gas prices to be lower,
11:22
Speaker 7: you don't elect Democrats.
11:24
Speaker 6: Like the Democrats don't even believe in gasoline.
11:27
Speaker 7: So I don't know where they get off talking about
11:31
Speaker 7: gas prices when they did everything possible to make gas
11:34
Speaker 7: so expensive that everybody rode a bicycle or bought an
11:37
Speaker 7: electric car.
11:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's exactly right. And that, again, the narrative crumbling
11:42
Speaker 2: in real time.
11:43
Speaker 1: And I think it's actually working out better for us,
11:46
Speaker 1: the fact that this guy was a bad criminal alien,
11:48
Speaker 1: the fact that he put his.
11:49
Speaker 2: Kid at risk.
11:50
Speaker 1: And the media is just so obviously desperate between the L.A.
11:54
Speaker 1: and San Diego thing that they took out of context,
11:56
Speaker 1: this latest ICE shooting, whether it's the flu in Russia.
12:00
Speaker 1: I mean, you can go on and on and on,
12:02
Speaker 1: and every opportunity they can try to find— to smear
12:05
Speaker 1: this president, to try to help the Democrats. It's becoming
12:08
Speaker 1: increasingly more obvious, and it shows just how desperate they are.
12:11
Speaker 1: Gives me hope for the midterms, my friend. Neil McCabe,
12:13
Speaker 1: thank you so much for being here, as always. And
12:16
Speaker 1: I look forward to talking to you again real soon,
12:17
Speaker 1: my friend.
12:18
Speaker 6: Take care, David.
12:19
Speaker 4: Thank you.
12:19
Speaker 8: You too.
12:20
Speaker 1: Still ahead tonight, for three weeks, the Cornell 7 story
12:25
Speaker 1: ran in one direction, and now the accuser's own text
12:30
Speaker 1: messages are out, and it's changing the entire narrative.
12:33
Speaker 2: I have all the details coming up later.
12:35
Speaker 1: And the Pentagon plans to livestream, that's right, livestream the
12:40
Speaker 1: Fort Hood terrorist execution. Now, people are pushing back. I'm
12:45
Speaker 1: still trying to figure out how I feel about it.
12:47
Speaker 1: We're going to break all of that down. And about
12:49
Speaker 1: 100 law enforcement vehicles rolled into Skid Row in L.A.,
12:53
Speaker 1: where there was drug dealers and feds say they were
12:56
Speaker 1: even dressed as homeless.
12:57
Speaker 2: California couldn't do it, so Trump did.
13:00
Speaker 9: L.A.
13:00
Speaker 2: Is getting cleaned up one way or the other. All
13:02
Speaker 2: that's coming up. Don't go anywhere.

13:44
Speaker 1: Another day and another twist in the Cornell 7 saga.
13:51
Speaker 2: New text messages showing that.
13:53
Speaker 1: Two days after the night that gave rise to the
13:57
Speaker 1: Cornell 7 controversy, the woman at the center of it
14:01
Speaker 1: texted one of the accused men. And the text message
14:06
Speaker 1: flips the entire narrative that we've been hearing from the
14:09
Speaker 1: left over the last few.
14:10
Speaker 2: Weeks right on its head.
14:13
Speaker 1: In text messages released by TMZ, she allegedly wrote that
14:18
Speaker 1: her memory was, quote, super clouded and they were all
14:24
Speaker 1: drunk and high and that she, quote, really liked being
14:29
Speaker 1: with him, him being one of the accused and one
14:32
Speaker 1: of the other men. So she liked being with both
14:34
Speaker 1: of them. She called it a, in her words, gangbang
14:38
Speaker 1: and wrote, our body, our choice. Another text that same week,
14:44
Speaker 1: she says, none of the sexual stuff was illegal.
14:47
Speaker 2: And it isn't only the text.
14:49
Speaker 1: She told police the night started with two men she
14:52
Speaker 1: knew and that she was pretty okay with all of this.
14:56
Speaker 2: Though, quote, super drunk.
14:58
Speaker 1: For three weeks, this story ran in one direction. Seven
15:01
Speaker 1: Chi Phi fraternity members accused in a civil lawsuit of
15:05
Speaker 1: gang raping her in 2024. Then right on cue, hundreds
15:09
Speaker 1: rallying on campus, graffiti on the administration buildings, a petition
15:14
Speaker 1: with 61,000 signatures, a faculty no-confidence vote. CNN ran the headline,
15:22
Speaker 1: The Long War Against Rape Culture. Governor Hochul handed the
15:26
Speaker 1: case to Ms. Letitia James, a special prosecutor. Not one
15:32
Speaker 1: of those seven men have been charged, by the way.
15:34
Speaker 1: The district attorney that reviewed the case in 24 declined
15:38
Speaker 1: to prosecute it based on a lot of this evidence.
15:40
Speaker 1: Cornell's own disciplinary process expelled two, suspended two, and found
15:44
Speaker 1: two had no responsibility. Now, these latest texts contradict what
15:48
Speaker 1: we've already heard, that on November 3rd, she texted, 90%
15:53
Speaker 1: of what happened that night was not consensual. Her lawsuit
15:56
Speaker 1: says multiple men forced sex on her after she was incapacitated.
16:00
Speaker 1: HER LAWYER SAYS THE NEWLY RELEASED TEXT MESSAGES MUST BE
16:03
Speaker 1: VIEWED IN CONTEXT AND THAT SHE WAS STILL PROCESSING WHAT HAPPENED.
16:08
Speaker 1: SO WHAT'S THE TRUTH HERE? THAT'S A QUESTION FOR A COURTROOM,
16:11
Speaker 1: I GUESS, IF IT EVER SEES ONE. BUT AS IT
16:14
Speaker 1: STANDS NOW, SEVEN YOUNG MEN WERE TRIED IN THE PRESS
16:18
Speaker 1: AND ON CAMPUS. NO CRIMINAL CHARGES EVER FILED. TWO DAYS
16:22
Speaker 1: AFTER THAT NIGHT, THE WOMAN WHO ACCUSED THEM WROTE THAT
16:24
Speaker 1: SHE REALLY LIKED BEING WITH TWO OF THEM.
16:27
Speaker 2: I DON'T KNOW.
16:28
Speaker 1: Joining me now is someone who's been on this story
16:30
Speaker 1: since before this thing even blew up, Angie Wong, journalist
16:33
Speaker 1: and Miami Committee woman. Look, you called this from day one.
16:36
Speaker 1: You said something's fishy, and now it just gets weirder
16:39
Speaker 1: by the day. What do you make of these latest
16:41
Speaker 1: text messages saying she enjoyed the gangbang?
16:44
Speaker 10: Yeah, of course it gets weirder and weirder by the
16:46
Speaker 10: day because we knew the truth was going to slowly
16:49
Speaker 10: seep out.
16:50
Speaker 11: You know, so these text messages have.
16:51
Speaker 10: Been actually circulating around newsrooms for several weeks now. It
16:56
Speaker 10: took TMZ to actually release them, right? And they're not
17:00
Speaker 10: even the big newspapers that got these text messages. And
17:04
Speaker 10: how is this law firm with this evidence knowingly filing.
17:08
Speaker 11: These suits now? having this in front of them.
17:11
Speaker 10: They're going to make excuses, say, well, she's still processing.
17:14
Speaker 11: Is that the law?
17:15
Speaker 10: Meanwhile, you have these seven men whose lives.
17:19
Speaker 11: Are destroyed by this.
17:20
Speaker 10: Even if it doesn't go through the whole due process,
17:23
Speaker 10: their entire lives have flipped upside down because of these accusations.
17:27
Speaker 10: And I think it's time now that all this has
17:30
Speaker 10: to be addressed in a legal setting because, you know,
17:36
Speaker 10: If you knowingly fabricate a rape accusation with the intent
17:40
Speaker 10: to destroy people's lives, the accuser should actually face the
17:44
Speaker 10: same criminal penalties as the crimes that she or he
17:47
Speaker 10: is accusing others of.
17:49
Speaker 11: It shouldn't be a slap on the wrist. It shouldn't
17:51
Speaker 11: be a perjury charge.
17:52
Speaker 10: It shouldn't even be a misdemeanor for filing a false
17:55
Speaker 10: police report. It really needs to elevate to that level,
17:58
Speaker 10: because we're seeing more and more of these cases being
18:00
Speaker 10: weaponized in the legal system.
18:03
Speaker 11: And it takes forever. You know due processes? It will
18:06
Speaker 11: take years to go through the courts.
18:08
Speaker 10: It will take millions of dollars to actually prove your innocence.
18:12
Speaker 11: Who does that? Who has time for that?
18:15
Speaker 10: Unfortunately, it could be a money grab, because a lot
18:17
Speaker 10: of the times, especially if you're a little bit wealthy,
18:20
Speaker 10: a lot of these predators will just assume that you're
18:24
Speaker 10: going to pay them out rather than go through years
18:26
Speaker 10: of litigation.
18:26
Speaker 11: And that's the problem we have right now.
18:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the thing is, the same thing that's going
18:31
Speaker 1: to protect some of these men from any actual criminal
18:34
Speaker 1: prosecution will probably protect the accuser from any sort of
18:39
Speaker 1: liability as well. The same sort of, we consented, I
18:42
Speaker 1: consented at first, I didn't consent to all of it,
18:45
Speaker 1: I didn't know what happened, our memory's cloudy.
18:47
Speaker 2: So to turn around and say she's.
18:49
Speaker 1: Being sort of vindictive and manipulative, she can also defend
18:53
Speaker 1: those actions with, I don't know exactly what happened, all
18:55
Speaker 1: I know is what I remember.
18:57
Speaker 2: And so... It's just a very bad situation overall.
19:00
Speaker 1: But the timing, and this is something you brought up
19:02
Speaker 1: early on when we first broke this story here. Well,
19:04
Speaker 1: not broke it, but when we first discussed it here.
19:06
Speaker 1: I'm going to say you broke it because nobody was
19:08
Speaker 1: talking about it until you talked about it. The thing
19:12
Speaker 1: about this is the timing. You know, this, again, is
19:14
Speaker 1: two years old. Yes, the civil lawsuit was filed, but
19:17
Speaker 1: why was it filed right now? And why was it
19:20
Speaker 1: filed knowing all of this stuff would come out? They
19:23
Speaker 1: had to have seen this evidence or know it existed.
19:25
Speaker 1: Why was it filed knowing all this stuff would come out?
19:27
Speaker 1: I mean, what do you make of the timing? You
19:29
Speaker 1: still think it's politically timed?
19:31
Speaker 11: Oh, the whole thing is politically timed. I mean, look
19:33
Speaker 11: at it.
19:33
Speaker 10: It comes out one month before the midterm elections. You
19:36
Speaker 10: have Kathy Hochul, who may or may not win her race.
19:39
Speaker 10: She needs to get some of that media air, right?
19:42
Speaker 11: Right now, it's all about other things.
19:44
Speaker 10: And it's, you know, the Trump 24-7 TV show that
19:48
Speaker 10: we're all watching.
19:49
Speaker 11: She needed to get some media air. She's gotten that.
19:51
Speaker 10: And, you know, for protecting women and all these other things.
19:54
Speaker 11: But now it's completely blown up on her face, right?
19:57
Speaker 11: Because now we're seeing, ooh, there's a lot of holes
20:00
Speaker 11: in this story.
20:01
Speaker 10: And then you have this law firm on Fifth Avenue
20:04
Speaker 10: in New York that's representing this college student. The whole
20:09
Speaker 10: thing just smells. Now, Letitia James, Kathy Hochul, Sally Yates,
20:15
Speaker 10: they own.
20:15
Speaker 11: This story now.
20:17
Speaker 10: I don't know how they're going to swim out of
20:18
Speaker 10: this one, especially with these text messages coming out. And
20:20
Speaker 10: this is just the first batch of text messages. There
20:23
Speaker 10: are others that TMZ has not released yet. So are
20:27
Speaker 10: we now playing the same game? Because we know one
20:29
Speaker 10: of the accusers is saying that, hey, on the mail,
20:32
Speaker 10: But I'm the one who got raped by the accuser.
20:35
Speaker 10: So is this a reverse me too? Are we now
20:38
Speaker 10: starting to play the same game that the left has
20:40
Speaker 10: been playing on us this whole entire time?
20:43
Speaker 11: I think so.
20:44
Speaker 10: And TMZ, thank goodness they're around because I know what
20:47
Speaker 10: they're going to do. They're going to drip, drip, drip
20:49
Speaker 10: these text messages every time, you know, the narrative goes
20:55
Speaker 10: a different way for the left. So I think we're
20:57
Speaker 10: finally understanding how to play this kind of, you know,
21:00
Speaker 10: Me Too rage.
21:01
Speaker 11: Mob game finally.
21:03
Speaker 10: And I'm glad we're doing it because we have to.
21:05
Speaker 11: It's gotten so dangerous.
21:07
Speaker 1: Well, I love that you said Me Too because now
21:10
Speaker 1: He Too is trending because at one of these things
21:13
Speaker 1: that went through, it was that.
21:15
Speaker 2: He was a victim of this encounter. And now that
21:19
Speaker 2: is trending.
21:19
Speaker 1: And it brings up a really interesting sort of 2026
21:22
Speaker 1: question is that, you know, can it does justice go
21:27
Speaker 1: both ways? Can a man be a victim of he
21:30
Speaker 1: too from a woman? And and should we be giving
21:33
Speaker 1: the same sort of deference as we're doing to this
21:35
Speaker 1: victim to this other person who could potentially be a
21:38
Speaker 1: victim because they're not being treated the.
21:39
Speaker 2: Same, right?
21:40
Speaker 10: Well, it's certainly confusing the raw, raw, raw people on
21:44
Speaker 10: the left.
21:44
Speaker 11: Like, what do we do?
21:45
Speaker 2: What do we do?
21:46
Speaker 10: You know, they can't even decide what a woman is.
21:48
Speaker 10: So can a man actually be raped?
21:51
Speaker 11: Is that the question here?
21:52
Speaker 10: Because he clearly filed a Cornell accusations as well, saying that, hey,
21:57
Speaker 10: I was sodomized. I was drunk, passed out. And there
22:00
Speaker 10: was a girl on top of me. So how is
22:02
Speaker 10: that not handled the same way by Cornell?
22:05
Speaker 11: This is the problem.
22:06
Speaker 10: All of it is getting funneled now to Cornell and
22:09
Speaker 10: Cornell is looking at its own practices.
22:11
Speaker 11: They're doing their own risk assessments as to what to do.
22:15
Speaker 10: Do they want to face years and years of bad
22:17
Speaker 10: PR and be known as the rape university, the rape Ivy?
22:22
Speaker 11: I don't think so. They're going to do a risk
22:24
Speaker 11: assessment and they're going to say, okay, it's going to
22:25
Speaker 11: cost us X. Should we just pay these guys out?
22:28
Speaker 11: And that's a.
22:28
Speaker 10: Really sad part because what you don't want is for
22:31
Speaker 10: this to be a money grab.
22:32
Speaker 9: Yeah.
22:33
Speaker 1: Well, Look, there's lessons to be learned here all around. Unfortunately,
22:37
Speaker 1: it just really speaks. I mean, if you look at
22:39
Speaker 1: the text messages, I was really happy being with both
22:41
Speaker 1: of you.
22:41
Speaker 2: You know what? And what was the thing she said?
22:45
Speaker 2: Her body, her choice.
22:47
Speaker 1: Like this is where we're getting to, where there's just
22:49
Speaker 1: such a lack of morality and such a lack of.
22:52
Speaker 2: Of just accountability for actions.
22:55
Speaker 1: And it's something we saw every time Charlie Kirk went
22:56
Speaker 1: to a campus and he'd be like, you're choosing to
22:59
Speaker 1: have sex and yet you're getting pregnant.
23:00
Speaker 2: You think you can just abort it?
23:01
Speaker 1: It's like you make all these reckless choices and somehow
23:05
Speaker 1: some of these people don't want any accountability for their actions.
23:07
Speaker 1: That's the important lesson out of all this. Angie, you've
23:09
Speaker 1: always been great on this from the very beginning, bringing
23:11
Speaker 1: us all the latest.
23:12
Speaker 2: We'll see.
23:13
Speaker 1: Maybe this story starts to die a slow death with
23:16
Speaker 1: these new revelations at this point, and then maybe it
23:18
Speaker 1: goes away in a fog of everything else that we're
23:21
Speaker 1: going to be distracted with heading into the midterms.
23:22
Speaker 2: We'll see. But you know, if anything new comes out,
23:25
Speaker 2: you're going to be my first phone call.
23:27
Speaker 11: Thank you so much, David.
23:28
Speaker 2: Thanks for being here.
23:30
Speaker 1: Coming up next, the man who murdered 13 people at
23:34
Speaker 1: Fort Hood. Well, he's facing a firing squad on December 3rd.
23:39
Speaker 1: And yesterday, the Pentagon says it's going to live stream
23:44
Speaker 1: it to the whole country. Is this the justice the
23:48
Speaker 1: country wants? Or is it going to turn into a spectacle?
23:51
Speaker 1: We're going to look in more of that next.

24:36
Speaker 1: November 5th, 2009, soldiers packed the Soldier Readiness Processing Center
24:42
Speaker 1: at Fort Hood in Texas. They were getting medical clearances
24:46
Speaker 1: before deploying overseas. Nidal Hassan, an army major and psychiatrist,
24:55
Speaker 1: walked in carrying a laser-sighted handgun. Witnesses say he shouted,
25:00
Speaker 1: Allahu Akbar, and opened fire. He shot soldiers lying on
25:06
Speaker 1: the floor. He shot on people as they ran. Within minutes,
25:12
Speaker 1: 13 were dead and more than 30 were wounded.
25:16
Speaker 2: Twelve of those murdered were soldiers.
25:19
Speaker 1: The 13th, Michael Cahill, was a civilian physician assistant and
25:23
Speaker 1: a retired soldier who a survivor testified charged Hassan with
25:28
Speaker 1: a chair trying to stop him. Hassan later said he
25:32
Speaker 1: wanted to stop American troops from deploying to Afghanistan and
25:36
Speaker 1: killing fellow Muslims. A military jury convicted him in 2013
25:41
Speaker 1: on all 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts
25:44
Speaker 1: of attempted premeditated murder.
25:46
Speaker 2: He was sentenced to death. President Trump has approved.
25:50
Speaker 1: The execution 1 o'clock Central Time at Fort Hood, the
25:55
Speaker 1: same hour of the day the shooting began, and on
25:58
Speaker 1: December 3rd.
26:00
Speaker 2: The execution will take place, and it's going to take
26:03
Speaker 2: place in front of a nationwide audience. That's right.
26:07
Speaker 1: Secretary of War Pete Hegseth confirmed yesterday the execution will
26:11
Speaker 1: be broadcasted to the public.
26:15
Speaker 2: The live stream? Well, it's getting pushback from both parties.
26:18
Speaker 1: Republican Senator Tom Tillis supports the death sentence, but called
26:24
Speaker 1: streaming it beyond disgusting.
26:26
Speaker 2: He says public.
26:27
Speaker 1: Executions are what oppressive dictatorships like Iran and Afghanistan do.
26:32
Speaker 2: Republican Congressman Austin.
26:34
Speaker 1: Scott says live streaming executions is what jihadists do.
26:38
Speaker 2: America is better than that.
26:40
Speaker 1: Democratic Senator Chris Murphy called the public executions medieval.
26:45
Speaker 2: Now, this will be the.
26:46
Speaker 1: First American military execution since 1961, the first Army firing
26:50
Speaker 1: squad since World War II. Secretary of War says the
26:54
Speaker 1: public will be able to watch because people need to
26:58
Speaker 1: understand that there are serious consequences for acts of terror
27:01
Speaker 1: like this.
27:02
Speaker 2: So what do we think?
27:03
Speaker 1: I think there's no question that this guy deserves to
27:07
Speaker 1: have this death sentence carried out.
27:11
Speaker 2: Should it be live streamed?
27:13
Speaker 1: Now, I honestly have not decided what I think about
27:16
Speaker 1: it yet, which is why I'm excited to talk it
27:19
Speaker 1: through with my good friend, Colonel Rob Maness. He's an
27:22
Speaker 1: Air Force combat veteran and host of The Rob Maness Show. Colonel,
27:26
Speaker 1: thank you so much for being here.
27:27
Speaker 2: I don't know what to look.
27:28
Speaker 1: I'm really excited that this guy's getting the firing squad
27:30
Speaker 1: and they're carrying it out quickly.
27:32
Speaker 2: That's not a question.
27:33
Speaker 1: But whether it should be live streamed on TV, what
27:35
Speaker 1: do you think?
27:37
Speaker 9: I'm.
27:38
Speaker 12: I'm actually very glad that Secretary Higgs has decided it's
27:43
Speaker 12: going to be a public execution. I've called for if
27:46
Speaker 12: we're going to do executions in this country for a
27:49
Speaker 12: couple of years now, that they should be public, that
27:52
Speaker 12: people should have to watch them and see who these
27:55
Speaker 12: folks are that are getting the death penalty. You know,
27:58
Speaker 12: one of the things that does. is it keeps the
28:01
Speaker 12: government honest. Anybody that is questioning your government today should
28:07
Speaker 12: be supporting this. That's number one. But more importantly, I've
28:12
Speaker 12: held court martial authority as a senior commander in the
28:15
Speaker 12: United States Air Force. This man was convicted at a
28:19
Speaker 12: court martial by a court martial panel of soldiers. He
28:25
Speaker 12: attacked soldiers while in his own American uniform. He was
28:31
Speaker 12: a commissioned officer in the United States Army. He is
28:35
Speaker 12: a psychiatrist, which means he's a medical doctor under the
28:39
Speaker 12: Hippocratic oath of do no harm, David. This man violated
28:44
Speaker 12: so many oaths and principles that he is absolutely inhuman.
28:52
Speaker 8: In my eyes.
28:53
Speaker 12: And the ideology that he follows, Sharia law, should be
28:57
Speaker 12: banished not only from the United States but from the
29:00
Speaker 12: face of the earth. I want to see every American,
29:02
Speaker 12: I want to see every jihadi see this man executed
29:06
Speaker 12: in a professional way, by a squad of soldiers carrying
29:11
Speaker 12: rifles so that he can die in the same manner
29:15
Speaker 12: that he killed the young female woman soldier that was pregnant,
29:19
Speaker 12: curled up on the floor that was begging for the
29:21
Speaker 12: life of her baby. He killed her in the name
29:24
Speaker 12: of Allah, just like all jihadis do. And it doesn't
29:28
Speaker 12: bother me one bit that we're going to live stream it.
29:30
Speaker 12: I think it's actually better for the entire situation. Our
29:34
Speaker 12: enemies need to see that we will do what's necessary
29:39
Speaker 12: to protect our armed forces and our people.
29:42
Speaker 1: Now, look, and I think you make a really strong
29:46
Speaker 1: argument for it being live streamed, but.
29:48
Speaker 2: What about the... And I think if we lived in.
29:52
Speaker 1: A world where we didn't have fake news and we
29:55
Speaker 1: didn't have political enemies and we didn't have, you know,
29:58
Speaker 1: the OTHER NATIONS, USING EVERYTHING WE DO AGAINST US, BOTH
30:03
Speaker 1: DOMESTICALLY AND ABROAD, LIVE STREAMING THIS IN THE WAY IT IS,
30:07
Speaker 1: CAN IT BE USED AGAINST US TO MAKE US LOOK
30:09
Speaker 1: LIKE THIS GUY WHO YOU CLEARLY LAID OUT DESERVES TO
30:12
Speaker 1: BE PUNISHED IN THE MANNER IN WHICH HIS SENTENCE WILL
30:14
Speaker 1: BE CARRIED OUT? BUT DOES IT PUT US IN A
30:16
Speaker 1: WEAKER POSITION, THOUGH, BECAUSE IT SHOWS THE UNITED STATES LIVE
30:21
Speaker 1: EXECUTING SOMEBODY, AND YOU KNOW THE PRESS IS GOING TO
30:24
Speaker 1: COVER THIS NEGATIVELY, YOU KNOW INTERNATIONAL PRESS IS GOING TO
30:26
Speaker 1: COVER THIS NEGATIVELY, AND DO WE CARE?
30:28
Speaker 2: MAYBE WE JUST DON'T CARE.
30:29
Speaker 12: It's ridiculous. That premise is ridiculous, David. I know you
30:33
Speaker 12: don't go by it, but it's ridiculous, and here's why.
30:37
Speaker 2: Who cares?
30:39
Speaker 4: You're exactly right.
30:40
Speaker 2: Who cares?
30:41
Speaker 12: Look what the enemy has done for years and years
30:43
Speaker 12: and years, publicly executing Christians on a beach, burning.
30:48
Speaker 4: people.
30:49
Speaker 12: In a cage in a vat of oil, taking a
30:53
Speaker 12: fighter pilot and dipping him in a vat of oil
30:56
Speaker 12: and burning him alive.
30:57
Speaker 4: Give me a break, people.
30:59
Speaker 12: Do you think that the jihadis are going to get
31:02
Speaker 12: all up in arms over this?
31:05
Speaker 2: Well, let them.
31:07
Speaker 12: Let us put what is necessary down on the table
31:11
Speaker 12: and continue to do that in a way that we
31:13
Speaker 12: have not done before. Iran is the first time since
31:17
Speaker 12: 9-11 that I think that we have really gone after
31:21
Speaker 12: it against these jihadi sharia law forces that already deserve
31:27
Speaker 12: it in great measure, and we need to get this
31:31
Speaker 12: job done emphatically. And this will show them that They
31:37
Speaker 12: are up against something that is much greater than they've
31:41
Speaker 12: thought before, and their little piddly public executions and cutting
31:45
Speaker 12: throats and burning people, throwing gays off cranes and hanging
31:50
Speaker 12: people from buildings and shooting up theaters of unarmed civilians
31:56
Speaker 12: like at Batla Khan and those kind of things are trivial.
32:00
Speaker 12: compared to what the United States is capable of doing.
32:03
Speaker 12: I just go tell them to walk through Iran and
32:07
Speaker 12: all of its military targets right now, and the Iranians
32:09
Speaker 12: will tell you, if they're honest, that the end is
32:12
Speaker 12: near for them, and the end needs to be near
32:15
Speaker 12: for Sharia law and jihadis in every Western country in
32:19
Speaker 12: the world, especially the United States.
32:22
Speaker 2: Well, Colonel, you got me convinced.
32:25
Speaker 1: I am now convinced and in favor of this livestream
32:29
Speaker 1: public execution. As a matter of fact, I think it
32:31
Speaker 1: might give the nation a sense of pride, and it
32:34
Speaker 1: might make us get a little bit more motivated to
32:40
Speaker 1: support this military and this government.
32:42
Speaker 2: So I'm on board. You've convinced me.
32:45
Speaker 1: And the only skepticism I have, and I don't know
32:49
Speaker 1: if you'd call it that, is I think this guy
32:51
Speaker 1: wants to be sent to his however many virgins in heaven.
32:54
Speaker 1: And I think that they'll probably celebrate his martyrdom and
32:58
Speaker 1: they'll be, you know, they'll be watching this from a
33:01
Speaker 1: different perspective.
33:03
Speaker 2: But justice will be carried out. America will have justice.
33:05
Speaker 2: These victims will have justice.
33:07
Speaker 1: And thank you for explaining this to me. And thank
33:11
Speaker 1: you for your service, my friend.
33:12
Speaker 4: Thank you, my friend.
33:13
Speaker 12: The only thing waiting for this guy is the lake
33:16
Speaker 12: of fire and hell.
33:18
Speaker 2: Well, soon enough, December 3rd. I will talk to you
33:21
Speaker 2: again real soon. Thank you for coming on and take
33:23
Speaker 2: care of yourself. Be careful out there on the coast,
33:25
Speaker 2: by the way.
33:26
Speaker 11: Absolutely.
33:26
Speaker 12: Appreciate it.
33:29
Speaker 1: Still ahead, 28 people have been charged in a federal
33:33
Speaker 1: drug sweep of L.A.
33:34
Speaker 2: 's Skid Row.
33:36
Speaker 1: Why federal agents were there, what they were asking when
33:39
Speaker 1: they were down there, and what this means for the
33:41
Speaker 1: federal government cleaning up a city that the Democrats refused
33:44
Speaker 1: to do. We have more on that later. And, by
33:46
Speaker 1: the way, it's Fired Up Friday with Chad Caton. We
33:49
Speaker 1: have a lot of really crazy stories, and I haven't
33:51

34:37
Speaker 1: After years of Democrat inaction, not Karen Bass, not Gavin Newsom,
34:42
Speaker 1: none of them did anything about Skid Row over in
34:47
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. But yesterday, the federal government did what had
34:50
Speaker 1: to be done and went to war with the drug dealers.
34:53
Speaker 1: About 100 law enforcement vehicles rolled into downtown L.A. the
34:57
Speaker 1: Federal Homeland Security Task Force, the DEA, the FBI, ATF,
35:01
Speaker 1: and the IRS. Drug dealers got to pay taxes, right?
35:05
Speaker 1: And they combined with the LAPD, 28 people charged.
35:08
Speaker 2: With dealing drugs.
35:09
Speaker 1: By the end of the day, 23 were in custody.
35:12
Speaker 1: Agents searched tents on Skid Row and 20 homes, most
35:16
Speaker 1: of them outside it.
35:17
Speaker 2: Meth, fentanyl, cocaine, guns, cash, even luxury cars.
35:22
Speaker 1: Some of the dealers, the feds say, dressed up as
35:24
Speaker 1: homeless people or social workers to Blend in. They signal
35:30
Speaker 1: to criminals that the federal government isn't going to ignore
35:33
Speaker 1: crimes like this.
35:34
Speaker 2: And won't let them get away with preying on homeless people.
35:37
Speaker 2: First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Assele, he says this.
35:41
Speaker 9: We, the feds, cannot fix the homelessness problem. We can't
35:44
Speaker 9: fix the addiction. What we can do is go in
35:46
Speaker 9: and remove the criminal elements, take out the gangsters, take
35:49
Speaker 9: out the drug dealers, so the city and the county
35:52
Speaker 9: can come in with their services. But as long as
35:54
Speaker 9: these guys are down there selling drugs and keeping the
35:57
Speaker 9: homeless addicted, they're never going.
35:58
Speaker 7: To get better.
35:59
Speaker 9: And so anybody caught selling drugs at MacArthur Park or
36:03
Speaker 9: Skid Row or downtown LA, you're going to get charged federally.
36:07
Speaker 4: And you're going to spend... THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. WE HAVE
36:09
Speaker 4: BEEN IN FEDERAL PRISON FOR A DECADE OR MORE WITH
36:10
Speaker 4: OUR MANDATORY MINIMUM LAWS.
36:12
Speaker 2: AND IT'S NOT JUST A SALEY.
36:13
Speaker 1: PATRICK GRANDE WHO RUNS THE FBI'S LOS ANGELES OFFICE, HE
36:17
Speaker 1: SAID IT WOULD BE SIMPLE TO OVERLOOK THE CRIMES OF
36:20
Speaker 1: SKID ROW AND ACT AS IF IT DIDN'T MATTER. CONFINED
36:23
Speaker 1: TO A SMALL AREA AND CONFINED TO VULNERABLE POPULATIONS.
36:27
Speaker 2: THOSE ARE HIS WORDS.
36:28
Speaker 1: ON THE DEALERS, HE SAYS THE SINGLE LARGEST DRIVER OF
36:36
Speaker 1: Most of you don't live in L.A., and most of
36:38
Speaker 1: you probably have never been to Skid Row.
36:40
Speaker 2: You might not even live in California. Smart choice. But
36:44
Speaker 2: this isn't a local problem. It's a national epidemic.
36:47
Speaker 1: The FBI counted more than 830,000 drug arrests in this
36:52
Speaker 1: country in 2024 alone. And you have cities and counties
36:56
Speaker 1: with district attorneys who would rather let criminals go with
36:59
Speaker 1: a pat on the back and a promise they won't.
37:01
Speaker 2: Do it again.
37:03
Speaker 1: December of 2020, Los Angeles County's brand-new district attorney, George Gasson,
37:08
Speaker 1: decided he didn't.
37:09
Speaker 2: Want to prosecute drug charges. Drug possession declined, drinking in public.
37:14
Speaker 2: Get back out there. Have some fun.
37:16
Speaker 1: He told his prosecutors to decline those cases or dismiss
37:19
Speaker 1: them before arraignment unless an exception applied.
37:22
Speaker 2: What happened? Did the dealers leave? Of course not.
37:25
Speaker 1: Why would they leave a place where their customers won't
37:27
Speaker 1: even get in trouble for using their drugs? Yesterday, the
37:30
Speaker 1: LAPD chief said Skid Row is seeing a resurgence of
37:33
Speaker 1: crack in PCP and heroin, soft on crime, and open
37:37
Speaker 1: invitations to the dealers to go and do business there,
37:41
Speaker 1: and they accepted it. And the timing of this cleanup
37:44
Speaker 1: is also interesting. In June, according to the New York Post,
37:47
Speaker 1: about 20 federal agents were down there interviewing residents in
37:51
Speaker 1: a voter fraud investigation. In May, a petition circulator agreed
37:55
Speaker 1: to plead guilty to paying people on Skid Row to
37:58
Speaker 1: register to vote. Last month, three people were indicted for
38:01
Speaker 1: paying homeless people on Skid Row to forge registered voter
38:05
Speaker 1: signatures on ballot petitions. So yesterday might have been about
38:09
Speaker 1: a little bit more than drugs, too. The bottom line
38:12
Speaker 1: is this. It was a problem that was allowed to
38:15
Speaker 1: persist for far too long. And now the largest operation
38:19
Speaker 1: targeting Skid Row and these drug dealers in Los Angeles history,
38:24
Speaker 1: the Trump administration again. And the FBI did what Gavin
38:27
Speaker 1: Newsom and Karen Bass have never been willing to do,
38:30
Speaker 1: clean up Skid Row. Joining me now for reaction is
38:32
Speaker 1: retired FBI Supervisory Special Agent Chris Hinkle.
38:35
Speaker 2: Welcome back, David Pollak, Prime Time.
38:37
Speaker 1: Talk about this operation and how important it is, not
38:41
Speaker 1: just to protect the homeless people from these drug dealers
38:45
Speaker 1: preying on them, but to also the safety and the
38:48
Speaker 1: security of the people in the area as well.
38:51
Speaker 13: Well, anywhere you're going to have open-air drug markets like this,
38:54
Speaker 13: you're also going to have a lot of violent crime.
38:57
Speaker 13: So you noted that 23, well, 23 of the 28
39:00
Speaker 13: people charged in these federal complaints were arrested for trafficking fentanyl, meth,
39:05
Speaker 13: and other drugs into Skid Row. And these weren't low-level users.
39:09
Speaker 13: Court documents describe the dealers traveled in from elsewhere. They
39:13
Speaker 13: used tents as storefronts, dressed as homeless people or social workers,
39:17
Speaker 13: and took public assistance money from addicted residents. Five remain fugitives.
39:22
Speaker 13: If convicted, each of these could get up to 20 years.
39:25
Speaker 13: And this was an enforcement against an OPEN AIR DRUG MARKET,
39:28
Speaker 13: NOT A SWEEP OF THE HOMELESS PEOPLE.
39:32
Speaker 1: NOW, AND OF COURSE, YOU CAN GO ALL THROUGH CALIFORNIA.
39:34
Speaker 1: IT'S PROBABLY ONE OF THE PLACES I'VE BEEN TO. I'VE
39:37
Speaker 1: LIVED IN A LOT OF PLACES AND TRAVELED A LOT
39:39
Speaker 1: OF PLACES IN THIS COUNTRY. California stands out. I mean,
39:42
Speaker 1: it was the very first thing I noticed besides just
39:44
Speaker 1: the great weather. When I came to California, the very
39:47
Speaker 1: first thing I noticed is there's homeless everywhere, tents and
39:51
Speaker 1: encampments and.
39:52
Speaker 2: Everywhere you go.
39:53
Speaker 1: And they're out in the open. They're clearly using drugs.
39:55
Speaker 1: They're on drugs. They're walking around in the streets. Sometimes
39:58
Speaker 1: they're violent.
39:59
Speaker 3: L.A.
40:00
Speaker 2: Specifically.
40:01
Speaker 1: You have all of this out-of-control drug use amongst the homeless.
40:05
Speaker 1: and nothing's ever done about it. So why did the
40:08
Speaker 1: FBI say enough is enough? Is it because in these
40:11
Speaker 1: blue states, the states aren't doing enough?
40:14
Speaker 13: I think the White House had a lot to do
40:16
Speaker 13: with this, that they heard enough from citizens that were
40:20
Speaker 13: just looking for peace, being able to actually enjoy their
40:24
Speaker 13: communities again. And you weren't getting that response from your
40:28
Speaker 13: district attorney or your attorney general or your governor in California.
40:32
Speaker 13: So the federal government had to step in and take
40:35
Speaker 13: care of this. And this was, you know, that's more
40:37
Speaker 13: than street corner hustling. Complaints described the territory as controlled
40:41
Speaker 13: by gangs, including the Crips and the Bloods, sets, lookouts,
40:45
Speaker 13: luxury vehicles, and the supply kept the dealer's person to
40:49
Speaker 13: stop yields to the user amount. One defendant allegedly lived
40:53
Speaker 13: in a downtown high-rise and drove a Bentley and a
40:56
Speaker 13: Mercedes to a sales tent. So, you know, this is
41:00
Speaker 13: just something where you're seeing the effect of a marshaling
41:04
Speaker 13: of resources at the federal government attacking what the source
41:08
Speaker 13: of the crime problem is. You know, federal drug trafficking charges,
41:12
Speaker 13: as I mentioned before, can pull up to 20 years
41:15
Speaker 13: on guns, gangs, and money. Local police were partners in this.
41:20
Speaker 13: And the first assistant U.S. attorney said, this is the beginning.
41:23
Speaker 13: This is not just a one-day event. So look for
41:25
Speaker 13: more things like this to happen.
41:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I wonder, though, what happens if.
41:31
Speaker 1: Local government or state government doesn't provide the local law
41:35
Speaker 1: enforcement to assist in these task forces?
41:37
Speaker 2: Can the FBI just go in anyway without their approval?
41:40
Speaker 1: How will it work in other places where they have
41:43
Speaker 1: no issue with these open-air drug markets remaining?
41:46
Speaker 13: Well, the FBI doesn't need state and local law enforcement
41:50
Speaker 13: or state and local government approval to execute operations addressing
41:57
Speaker 13: the federal laws. The state and local governments don't have
42:01
Speaker 13: any jurisdiction there. Now, we welcome the assistance of local
42:05
Speaker 13: law enforcement agencies. I supervise two task forces down here
42:09
Speaker 13: in Mississippi, and we worked well with the local police departments,
42:12
Speaker 13: and we had a lot of support from the local
42:15
Speaker 13: government and the prosecutors. But with this situation here, arrests matter,
42:20
Speaker 13: but they're the start, not the finish. Skid Row's homicide
42:24
Speaker 13: rate and addiction problem, it's not going to change If
42:27
Speaker 13: the same dealers or their replacements can operate in the
42:30
Speaker 13: plain sight again next week, the test is whether these
42:33
Speaker 13: open-air drug markets stay closed, whether the fugitives are caught,
42:37
Speaker 13: and whether the people being preyed upon get the treatment
42:40
Speaker 13: instead of another dealer. You know, federal prison time, it's
42:44
Speaker 13: a big deterrent. And I like the idea of officers
42:49
Speaker 13: going in disguised as homeless people. You want to put
42:51
Speaker 13: a fear into these people that the person that they're
42:54
Speaker 13: dealing with on the street might be an undercover police officer,
42:57
Speaker 13: an undercover federal agent.
42:59
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's necessary because you're right. The people of
43:01
Speaker 1: those communities, they want better. And if local government won't deliver,
43:04
Speaker 1: that's where the federal government should step in. This is
43:07
Speaker 1: taxpayer dollars being used to protect the taxpayers. And it
43:10
Speaker 1: just shows that President Trump is committed to cracking down
43:14
Speaker 1: on crime. It's another promise made, promise kept, and great
43:16
Speaker 1: work done by the FBI. Thank you so much for
43:19
Speaker 1: being here and sharing your experience with us.
43:21
Speaker 4: Thank you.
43:22
Speaker 1: Coming up, it's Friday, and it's time for another Fired

Speaker 1: Up Friday with Chad Cain. We have a lot of
43:30
Speaker 1: great stories, and I haven't tipped them off to any
43:32
Speaker 1: of them yet. I can't wait to get his reaction.
43:34
Speaker 1: You're not going to believe some of these, so.
43:36
Speaker 2: Don't go anywhere.
43:43

44:19
Speaker 1: It's Friday, and that means it's time to get fired
44:22
Speaker 1: up with Chad Caton.
44:24
Speaker 2: And we've got fugitives.
44:26
Speaker 1: We have murderers surviving executions and sickness in Hollywood. Let's
44:32
Speaker 1: just bring up Mr. Fired Up himself, founder of Operation
44:36
Speaker 1: Free Nation. Chad Caton, welcome back to the Apollo Prime Time.
44:40
Speaker 2: Now, Chad, I don't even know what these stories are.
44:41
Speaker 1: The team put them together. You don't know what they are.
44:44
Speaker 1: I'm just going to read them to you. You're going
44:46
Speaker 1: to react to them. And we're just going to have
44:47
Speaker 1: a lot of fun here on a Friday.
44:48
Speaker 2: Sound good?
44:50
Speaker 4: Let's get weird.
44:51
Speaker 2: Let's get weird. I wouldn't expect anything less from you.
44:53
Speaker 1: First up, right here in San Diego, we have a fugitive.
44:59
Speaker 1: This is the craziest story. Oh, I'm so glad we
45:01
Speaker 1: put this in here. I've been to this restaurant, by
45:03
Speaker 1: the way. There's a fugitive caught after 14 years. His
45:08
Speaker 1: name's Brian Anthony Williams. He's 50 years old. He has
45:12
Speaker 1: been a fugitive since 2012 when he allegedly kidnapped and
45:16
Speaker 1: shot an Iowa woman. He was found in Mission Beach,
45:21
Speaker 1: really right around the corner here, and he'd been living
45:24
Speaker 1: and working under the name Troy Williams.
45:27
Speaker 2: Now, Chad, and here's the best part of how he
45:29
Speaker 2: got caught, by the way.
45:30
Speaker 1: He was doing, like, the restaurant is very good that
45:33
Speaker 1: he works at. A lot of people liked it, and
45:35
Speaker 1: he started doing a lot of local media hits, and
45:37
Speaker 1: somebody saw him on TV and ratted him out, and
45:40
Speaker 1: then he got caught. Chad, if you're a fugitive of
45:43
Speaker 1: 14 years, it's probably not wise to go on TV.
45:44
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts?
45:46
Speaker 4: Yeah, don't go on.
45:47
Speaker 14: TV, but I would damn sure live in California because
45:50
Speaker 14: they don't do anything in regards.
45:51
Speaker 4: To law and order.
45:52
Speaker 14: And frankly, you can walk around for 18 years and
45:54
Speaker 14: get away with it. If you're going to go somewhere
45:56
Speaker 14: to hide, it seems like California and New York.
45:58
Speaker 4: City might be the places to go.
46:00
Speaker 14: Not because of the large amount of metropolitan area, but
46:04
Speaker 14: just for the fact that you have feckless government that
46:06
Speaker 14: has no concept of or care about of real law
46:09
Speaker 14: and order. So the cops aren't out there looking for
46:12
Speaker 14: that kind of fugitive. But when you are dumb enough
46:14
Speaker 14: to put your dreadlocks on television and show the world
46:17
Speaker 14: your face, maybe somebody up in Iowa, Idaho, or wherever
46:20
Speaker 14: you're from might see in their hand.
46:22
Speaker 4: Is kind of forced when you.
46:23
Speaker 14: Say, yeah, that guy decided to shoot somebody.
46:25
Speaker 4: In the face.
46:26
Speaker 14: You might want to go pick him up. that's what
46:28
Speaker 14: we're dealing with in these, in these States. And, and
46:30
Speaker 14: going on TV, wasn't the brightest thing, but Hey, what
46:33
Speaker 14: do we always say? You know, at the end of
46:35
Speaker 14: the day, if you're not going to be vigilant and
46:37
Speaker 14: you start to get lax, you're going to get caught
46:39
Speaker 14: or you're going to get dead. That's what they say
46:40
Speaker 14: in the military, at least.
46:43
Speaker 2: 14 years on the run.
46:44
Speaker 1: And look, people really liked him here. He was a,
46:48
Speaker 1: he was a very popular in the restaurant. A lot
46:50
Speaker 1: of people loved him and his food was really good.
46:52
Speaker 1: It's just such a crazy story. Anyway, he's still locked
46:55
Speaker 1: up until extradition, but what a weird one.
46:57
Speaker 2: All right, next up.
46:58
Speaker 1: Speaking of criminals, gosh, this was such a crazy story.
47:02
Speaker 1: Krista Pike, remember her? The lady who decided to kidnap somebody,
47:10
Speaker 1: to stab her multiple times, bash her head in, take
47:13
Speaker 1: a piece of her skull. She sat on death row
47:15
Speaker 1: for 30 years and then survives two doses.
47:20
Speaker 2: Of the lethal injection.
47:21
Speaker 1: I guess it should be called something else other than
47:24
Speaker 1: lethal injection at this point. Now, she went to the hospital.
47:28
Speaker 1: She's walking and eating again, according to her lawyers. What
47:32
Speaker 1: do you think about this one, Chad?
47:35
Speaker 4: Well, it's lethal adjacent, okay? We're lethal adjacent as far as.
47:39
Speaker 14: What we're trying to kill these murderers for. And you
47:43
Speaker 14: know one thing, and you know me, man. I'm a
47:45
Speaker 14: huge fan of the 2A all.
47:47
Speaker 13: Day, man.
47:48
Speaker 14: And we've got a great president and secretary of war
47:52
Speaker 14: that has decided that, you know what? This lethal injection
47:55
Speaker 14: thing may not be all that thing it's cracked up
47:57
Speaker 14: to be in. Who really wants to watch somebody get
47:59
Speaker 14: lit up like a Christmas tree? At the end of
48:01
Speaker 14: the day, a couple of guys with some rifles will
48:05
Speaker 14: do the job. Now we got a lady that's walking
48:07
Speaker 14: around her hospital room going, what just happened? And now
48:10
Speaker 14: we're not real sure what the legalities of and how
48:12
Speaker 14: we're supposed to do it when the order wasn't fulfilled.
48:15
Speaker 4: I don't know. It's pathetic at the end of the day.
48:18
Speaker 4: I mean, you could have took a whole bunch of.
48:20
Speaker 10: I don't know.
48:21
Speaker 4: Well, what do they get?
48:22
Speaker 9: Airsoft?
48:23
Speaker 4: Fluid and shoved it in her arm and.
48:26
Speaker 14: It would have killed her. I don't know what the
48:28
Speaker 14: hell they gave her. It didn't work, but at the
48:29
Speaker 14: end of the day, a gun does work. And we
48:31
Speaker 14: go back to the idea that we're going to see.
48:36
Speaker 4: The U.S.
48:37
Speaker 14: Government is going to take care of somebody that is
48:39
Speaker 14: on death row by firing squad and I'm all for it.
48:41
Speaker 4: Let's get it done. It seems to be more efficient.
48:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was really crazy.
48:45
Speaker 1: I mean, it was just a sick case and it
48:47
Speaker 1: spurred this huge debate about both life and death and
48:51
Speaker 1: executions and I don't know.
48:53
Speaker 2: I'm still on the fence with whether or not this
48:55
Speaker 2: was botched on purpose.
48:56
Speaker 1: She purposely didn't eat or drink, you know, and then
48:58
Speaker 1: she asked for an all woman execution group or whatever.
49:01
Speaker 2: I don't know if that was to get a certain
49:03
Speaker 2: person in the room. I don't know. People have been fired.
49:05
Speaker 1: Executions have been stayed until the end of the year.
49:08
Speaker 1: I don't think she is going to be forgiven. I don't,
49:11
Speaker 1: I don't believe that sentence is going to be commuted.
49:13
Speaker 1: I think they'll have another shot at it once they
49:16
Speaker 1: figure it out, but eating and drinking.
49:18
Speaker 4: The sisterhood of the traveling pants. It's, still out there.
49:20
Speaker 14: And apparently it might be working for people on death
49:23
Speaker 14: row as long as you're a female.
49:24
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you what's really weird about this one
49:26
Speaker 1: is the fact that she.
49:30
Speaker 2: Well, the whole eating and drinking.
49:31
Speaker 1: But just the fact that They kept her alive on
49:35
Speaker 1: life support for a couple of days before she woke
49:37
Speaker 1: up out of it. It's like you spent all this
49:39
Speaker 1: time trying to kill her and then you're spending all
49:41
Speaker 1: this time trying.
49:42
Speaker 2: To keep her alive. It is just the weirdest thing.
49:44
Speaker 4: Anyway, next up, I'll get this in trouble all the time.
49:48
Speaker 13: I know.
49:48
Speaker 9: I know.
49:49
Speaker 2: Next up, there's something strange going on in Hollywood.
49:52
Speaker 1: Well, there's always something strange going on in Hollywood. But
49:55
Speaker 1: this one's really funny. There's this trend of high-profile actors
49:59
Speaker 1: and actresses and athletes, and they're all adopting kids from overseas. Now,
50:03
Speaker 1: we've seen this before, you know, the African baby trend
50:06
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. But now they're bringing them home
50:08
Speaker 1: from overseas and making them trans. All these people have
50:13
Speaker 1: trans kids now. It's the latest poodle in Hollywood. What
50:18
Speaker 1: do you think about holly weirdos going and getting kids
50:21
Speaker 1: and then transing them up for the cocktail parties?
50:25
Speaker 4: I will say this.
50:26
Speaker 14: Having lived out in California, was a bodyguard in L.A.,
50:29
Speaker 14: I'm not surprised that Hollywood's going for build-a-tranny workshops.
50:33
Speaker 4: I'm really not.
50:34
Speaker 14: These people are so ideologically opposed to most things that
50:37
Speaker 14: are sensible because they live in these ivory towers and
50:40
Speaker 14: sit around and talk to each other and do terrible things.
50:43
Speaker 4: You know, at the end of the day, I'm wondering
50:45
Speaker 4: if this is to keep.
50:47
Speaker 14: Caitlin Bennett from walking up to him and seeing if
50:49
Speaker 14: you will take an illegal to move into your house.
50:52
Speaker 4: She does those great videos all the time.
50:54
Speaker 14: And I think that Hollywood is just so screwed up
50:56
Speaker 14: that they're saying, look how good I am. I'm going
50:59
Speaker 14: to a third world country. I'm taking a child that
51:03
Speaker 14: has been orphaned and I'm bringing him over here. And
51:07
Speaker 14: then I'm going to make him be in a Balenciaga
51:11
Speaker 14: runway show as a trainee. This is the crazy stuff
51:15
Speaker 14: we have going on in our country right now. And
51:17
Speaker 14: I just did a post the other day when the
51:19
Speaker 14: six-year-old shot his teacher. We are failing the children of
51:22
Speaker 14: this country, 1,000%. And these are the people that other
51:26
Speaker 14: people look up to because why? They're in a movie
51:29
Speaker 14: or a TV show.
51:30
Speaker 4: It's kind of gross.
51:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, it just shows you how out of touch they
51:33
Speaker 1: are with mainstream America, yet they sit there on their
51:36
Speaker 1: high horses and their ivory towers with all their money
51:38
Speaker 1: on stolen land telling us how we should live, and
51:41
Speaker 1: then they go and, you know, take these kids and
51:44
Speaker 1: dress them up and say, oh, yeah, you can be whatever.
51:46
Speaker 2: You want, and they all get together. Look how open-minded
51:48
Speaker 2: we are. Hollywood has a disease, and we're not going
51:51
Speaker 2: to let them win in November. Chad Caton, always fired up,
51:55
Speaker 2: always great. I appreciate you being here. I can't wait
51:57

52:05
Speaker 1: working on something good for you guys next week. Remember
52:07
Speaker 1: the whole San Diego, L.A. controversy we talked about this week? Well,
52:12
Speaker 1: we're going to take a closer look at why he
52:14
Speaker 1: picked those cities, and we're going to talk about just
52:17
Speaker 1: how dangerous the nuclear threat from Iran actually was.
52:22
Speaker 2: Trump was right.
52:23
Speaker 1: These artificially high gas prices were was a small price
52:26
