Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Straight ahead on Real America tonight.
- 0:03Speaker 2: Suggest all you want.
- 0:05Speaker 3: Please investigate all you want.
- 0:08Speaker 1: Well, thanks for the invitation. And guess what, ma'am? Federal
- 0:12Speaker 1: officials raid the Washington, D.C. home of Democrat Congresswoman Ilhan Omar.
- 0:19Speaker 1: You asked for it. Now you're going to get it.
- 0:21Speaker 1: Tennessee Congressman Tim Burchett is going to join us tonight
- 0:24Speaker 1: to discuss what's going down in the swamp at Ilhan's house. Plus...
- 0:30Speaker 1: Some critical updates about the conflict in Iran. This as
- 0:33Speaker 1: the war between Russia and Ukraine heat up. President Trump
- 0:38Speaker 1: weighing in on both of them as both of these
- 0:40Speaker 1: situations are escalating rapidly. We'll break them down tonight with
- 0:44Speaker 1: retired Colonel Robert McGinnis. Also, our dear friend Dinesh D'Souza
- 0:49Speaker 1: will be here a bit later in the program to
- 0:50Speaker 1: talk about his brand new documentary which will confirm the
- 0:54Speaker 1: Bible's accuracy through archeology and science. It's amazing, and you've
- 1:00Speaker 1: gotta stick around for it. I'm Dan Ball, and Real
- 1:02Speaker 1: America starts right now.
- 1:11Speaker 4: The Trump administration just raided the home of Congresswoman Ilhan Omar.
- 1:16Speaker 4: It is simply chilling that they are targeting political opponents
- 1:20Speaker 4: this way, and it is disturbing that they are targeting Muslims.
- 1:24Speaker 1: Cut him off, shut your mouth, first of all. Targeting Democrats,
- 1:29Speaker 1: targeting Muslims. Listen, Ro Khanna, if you don't know who
- 1:32Speaker 1: that clown was from California, a congressman. Nobody's targeting anybody
- 1:37Speaker 1: that doesn't deserve it, meaning lawbreakers. Good Monday evening to
- 1:42Speaker 1: you folks. We begin the show tonight, I think, with
- 1:45Speaker 1: amazing news. Finally, can we start going after people? Now, next,
- 1:50Speaker 1: do Eric Swalwell, arrest him. Next, get Hillary Clinton behind bars. Next,
- 1:54Speaker 1: put Fauci in the ground. Anyway. The Trump administration cracking
- 2:00Speaker 1: down on illegal immigration. And I don't care if you're
- 2:03Speaker 1: some illegal that came through the southern border from China,
- 2:07Speaker 1: El Salvador, or Mexico, or you came through the front
- 2:11Speaker 1: door but did it illegally and now you're a member
- 2:13Speaker 1: of Congress. Y'all need to go. Team Trump going to
- 2:18Speaker 1: great lengths to remove criminal, illegal aliens from American soil,
- 2:23Speaker 1: regardless of where they're hiding, even if it's in plain
- 2:27Speaker 1: day light. That brings us to good old Ilhan Omar,
- 2:31Speaker 1: one of my favorite. She's the representative from Somalia, don't forget,
- 2:36Speaker 1: who's been under scrutiny now for years due to her
- 2:39Speaker 1: immigration status and allegations of huge fraud. But let's not forget,
- 2:45Speaker 1: she's also involved in that whole Feed the Hungry program
- 2:47Speaker 1: with all the Somali crap that went down in Minnesota, Minneapolis,
- 2:51Speaker 1: where she's from, remember? All that money, your money, that
- 2:54Speaker 1: went back home to Somalia. So I'm glad that... that
- 2:57Speaker 1: they pulled a pre-dawn raid on her house today. Take
- 3:01Speaker 1: a look. Federal agents seizing stuff inside her DC home,
- 3:05Speaker 1: coming out with lots of boxes of documents. The raid,
- 3:08Speaker 1: part of a years-long investigation by multiple agencies. Whistleblowers have
- 3:13Speaker 1: come out as well, folks. Here's what you need to know.
- 3:17Speaker 1: Democrats are freaking out over it, of course. In a
- 3:20Speaker 1: statement on X Today, she describes the lawful raid as
- 3:26Speaker 1: an attempt to target political enemies. Well, you would know.
- 3:31Speaker 1: She also accused President Trump of targeting her with baseless
- 3:34Speaker 1: lies and smears. Really? Watch this crap.
- 3:39Speaker 5: It is not surprising that he is going after black
- 3:43Speaker 5: immigrants in this country. And it's certainly not surprising that
- 3:47Speaker 5: he's choosing a black immigrant community that is also Muslim.
- 3:51Speaker 5: But what I would like to say is that most
- 3:54Speaker 5: of us are citizens on our passport. It says we
- 3:57Speaker 5: are nationals of this country. We love that Minnesota has
- 4:01Speaker 5: welcomed us. Many of us have not been settled in Minnesota.
- 4:04Speaker 1: We chose it as a home.
- 4:05Speaker 5: Because the Minnesota people and the state is beautiful and
- 4:09Speaker 5: very welcoming, and we are going to be here regardless
- 4:13Speaker 5: of what the president has to say.
- 4:15Speaker 1: Well, you might be eating those words, dearie, because just
- 4:18Speaker 1: because you had the passport that said you were an
- 4:20Speaker 1: American doesn't mean you obtained it legally. Now, on the
- 4:25Speaker 1: note of illegal immigration, there's another big story brewing, and
- 4:29Speaker 1: it has to do with another Democrat socialist like Ilhan,
- 4:32Speaker 1: the mayor, Zoran Mamdani. over in the Big Apple. Let
- 4:37Speaker 1: me tell you, people are pretty upset. They want the
- 4:39Speaker 1: mayor to fire his police commissioner after ICE was in
- 4:44Speaker 1: his city last week trying to take down another illegal, criminal,
- 4:48Speaker 1: violent alien, and the bad guy got shot. Let me
- 4:51Speaker 1: tell you what happened quick. Last Thursday, federal agents wounded
- 4:55Speaker 1: a gangbanger, illegal criminal, alien. He got shot in the neck.
- 4:59Speaker 1: He's alive. He's fine. Well, huge controversy, right? Democrats, the
- 5:04Speaker 1: socialist part of the Democrat, come out and say, oh,
- 5:07Speaker 1: your police chief there, she's protecting ICE. Why? Because she
- 5:11Speaker 1: trash talked the bad guy and didn't trash talk ICE. Oh,
- 5:15Speaker 1: I see. And so they want him to fire her
- 5:18Speaker 1: because she actually acted like a cop and said ICE
- 5:22Speaker 1: did a good job taking down the bad guy. One
- 5:26Speaker 1: of these DSA clowns is a woman named Darlaiza Avia Chevalier.
- 5:32Speaker 1: I don't really care to pronounce her name. Anyway, she
- 5:35Speaker 1: was hanging out with that other scumbag, Hasan Piker. You
- 5:38Speaker 1: know who he is? He's the radical Muslim American rich
- 5:42Speaker 1: podcaster who backs all these Democrat socialists. He's the one
- 5:46Speaker 1: that said we deserve 9-11. He's a piece of human scum.
- 5:49Speaker 1: We should look at his immigration status. Anyway, roll these
- 5:53Speaker 1: two idiots.
- 5:54Speaker 6: Police Commissioner Tish.
- 5:56Speaker 7: Came out like, I understand that it is her role
- 5:58Speaker 7: to provide more information, and that is why she comes
- 6:01Speaker 7: to these press conferences. But rather than, you know, condemn ICE,
- 6:06Speaker 7: rather than condemn the shooting or the events that had
- 6:09Speaker 7: just taken place, she started to villainize Oscar, right? Villainize
- 6:15Speaker 7: him and villainize, you know, by extent, right, anyone who
- 6:19Speaker 7: was in his position.
- 6:20Speaker 1: By the way, Miss Tish, Jessica Tish, the police commissioner
- 6:24Speaker 1: in the Big Apple, Stand by your guns. Keep talking
- 6:28Speaker 1: trash on bad guys. Stand up for ICE. Make your family,
- 6:31Speaker 1: who have been cops for decades, right, make them proud.
- 6:35Speaker 1: Don't cave to these socialists, these damn Democrats. Joining me
- 6:39Speaker 1: now to weigh in on both of these big, huge stories,
- 6:42Speaker 1: he represents Tennessee's 2nd Congressional District. He's a member of
- 6:45Speaker 1: the House Oversight and Foreign Affairs Committees and happens to
- 6:48Speaker 1: be the chairman of the Doge Subcommittee, and he is
- 6:50Speaker 1: on the campaign trail as we speak. My good pal,
- 6:53Speaker 1: Congressman Tim Burchett. Back on the show.
- 6:56Speaker 3: Hi, Tim.
- 6:57Speaker 1: Hi, Dan.
- 6:58Speaker 8: How you doing, brother?
- 6:59Speaker 1: Good, brother. Nice to see you. Before I get to
- 7:01Speaker 1: New York, let me get back up. Let me start
- 7:02Speaker 1: with your colleague from across the aisle, the one who
- 7:05Speaker 1: has been baiting President Trump and everybody else saying, yeah,
- 7:10Speaker 1: come look me up. Come investigate me. I didn't do
- 7:12Speaker 1: anything wrong. Well, let me say this, Tim, before I
- 7:14Speaker 1: get your reaction. Trump's DOJ had to get a D.C.
- 7:20Speaker 1: judge to sign off on this search warrant. That means
- 7:23Speaker 1: a liberal judge must have saw enough evidence to say, yes,
- 7:26Speaker 1: you can go raid her home. Unlike when Joe Biden's DOJ,
- 7:31Speaker 1: the FBI told Merrick Garland, I wouldn't raid Mar-a-Lago. You
- 7:33Speaker 1: don't have enough proof. They still did it. But they
- 7:36Speaker 1: had enough proof to go into her house today. Now
- 7:37Speaker 1: what you got to say, Ilhan Omar. Tim, your reaction.
- 7:41Speaker 8: Well, I'm not surprised. I'm surprised it's happened so late.
- 7:44Speaker 8: I wonder, though, if there's more to this story than
- 7:46Speaker 8: we even know. Everybody thinks it's the accusation that she
- 7:50Speaker 8: married her brother to get him in the country and
- 7:53Speaker 8: that she's not here legally as well. So, you know,
- 7:56Speaker 8: I think there's probably a much deeper.
- 7:58Speaker 6: Thing to this.
- 7:59Speaker 8: And as far as Minnesota, I mean, they've stolen from
- 8:03Speaker 8: what I've read and what I've researched close to $ 22
- 8:06Speaker 8: billion of your money. Think about that every time you
- 8:10Speaker 8: drive over a pothole or see something else out that
- 8:13Speaker 8: you wish could be fixed. And these are folks that
- 8:15Speaker 8: aren't American citizens. And we know that some of these
- 8:18Speaker 8: folks are stealing that money and sending it back overseas.
- 8:21Speaker 3: They're arming our enemies.
- 8:23Speaker 8: And last time I checked, ISIS wasn't on our friendly
- 8:26Speaker 8: trade list. At least they're not on my Christmas card list.
- 8:29Speaker 8: So I know they're probably not.
- 8:31Speaker 9: So wait a minute, Tim.
- 8:32Speaker 1: You're saying that maybe while everybody's looking over here saying
- 8:35Speaker 1: it's probably her immigration status, it could be her connection
- 8:38Speaker 1: to that feeding the hungry program and all those millions,
- 8:41Speaker 1: billions that were stolen from the American taxpayer in Minnesota
- 8:46Speaker 1: and sent overseas that she's connected to. It might be
- 8:49Speaker 1: that investigation.
- 8:51Speaker 8: Could be that or something else. I'm not going to say.
- 8:54Speaker 8: It could be something else. So I would just say,
- 8:58Speaker 8: you know, when they knock on your door, they had
- 9:01Speaker 8: never knocked on my door. But when they do, it's
- 9:04Speaker 8: best to shut up and tell them, call my lawyer,
- 9:06Speaker 8: because they've already got all the answers. So they've waited.
- 9:09Speaker 8: I mean, but look what they did to Roger Stone.
- 9:11Speaker 8: How old is he? Eighty years old. He's out there
- 9:13Speaker 8: standing in his drawers and crying. two o'clock in the morning. Yeah,
- 9:17Speaker 8: and they rated him.
- 9:18Speaker 1: I called him this morning. He's in Paris. I wanted
- 9:20Speaker 1: his reaction. He was going to come on with you,
- 9:22Speaker 1: but he was in Paris and his reaction was they
- 9:26Speaker 1: woke my you know what up at 6 a.m. with
- 9:28Speaker 1: CNN already there kicking the door in armed pointing guns
- 9:31Speaker 1: at me and my sick wife bunch of crap and
- 9:33Speaker 1: I didn't do anything wrong, which was proven and Ilhan
- 9:36Speaker 1: Omar is over here complaining when she's involved in multiple
- 9:40Speaker 1: multiple controversies and cover-ups whether it's that feeding the hungry
- 9:43Speaker 1: program or or her immigration status, so thank you. Let
- 9:46Speaker 1: me switch to New York before I lose you, because
- 9:48Speaker 1: I know your team said you gotta get back on
- 9:50Speaker 1: the road. We got 22 days till this midterm. What
- 9:54Speaker 1: do you make of the Democrat Socialist Party now, like
- 9:57Speaker 1: literally controlling your friends across the aisle, and demanding that
- 10:01Speaker 1: Mamdani fire a female? What happened to woke and empowering
- 10:05Speaker 1: and get rid of the patriarchy? Firing a female police
- 10:08Speaker 1: chief because God forbid, Tim, she didn't trash talk the
- 10:12Speaker 1: bad guy and she kind of commended ICE.
- 10:15Speaker 8: If you're thinking I'm going to stay at home because
- 10:18Speaker 8: if I stay at home, it's just going to throw
- 10:20Speaker 8: out these Republicans, you better look at these Democrats. The
- 10:22Speaker 8: Democrat Socialist Party, abortion on demand up until childbirth, open
- 10:27Speaker 8: the borders, defund the military, defund the police, try to
- 10:30Speaker 8: lose our prisons, and not a single Democrat has denounced them.
- 10:33Speaker 8: Remember when the lady in New York runs and says
- 10:37Speaker 8: she's going to use our beautiful flag, that flag that
- 10:39Speaker 8: you served under as a veteran, and God bless you.
- 10:43Speaker 8: That's the flag she used as a napkin. And not
- 10:46Speaker 8: a single Democrat has denounced that. Two reasons they either
- 10:50Speaker 8: do that. Either they believe it, one, or they're afraid
- 10:53Speaker 8: of the other and not going to do anything about it.
- 10:55Speaker 8: Either way, our country is sunk. People better get to
- 10:59Speaker 8: the dadgum polls and they better remember this stuff because
- 11:01Speaker 8: that's who's going to be running. That's going to be
- 11:03Speaker 8: set in the agenda for the next 40 years. And
- 11:05Speaker 8: you better believe it.
- 11:06Speaker 1: Thank you, Tim. And this isn't scare tactics, folks. Think
- 11:09Speaker 1: about it. This is a capitalist society, a free, God-fearing,
- 11:13Speaker 1: loving republic. And you have one party who's embracing socialism
- 11:17Speaker 1: in their ranks, saying we're a big tent party, we
- 11:20Speaker 1: allow everybody, well, guess what's going to happen? That everybody
- 11:23Speaker 1: is going to change the fabric of what you, me, Tim,
- 11:26Speaker 1: everybody watching this program grew up with, know, and love
- 11:29Speaker 1: that we want to give to our kids and grandkids.
- 11:31Speaker 1: They're going to change it forever if your butts don't
- 11:33Speaker 1: show up in 22 days. Tim, I give you the
- 11:36Speaker 1: final word. I know you've got to run. I've got
- 11:37Speaker 1: a few seconds left, my friend.
- 11:39Speaker 8: What we're running against is the cancer that's infected our society,
- 11:43Speaker 8: and we better take it serious, folks. God has granted
- 11:45Speaker 8: us one of the greatest gifts in the world, which
- 11:48Speaker 8: is this great country.
- 11:49Speaker 1: Amen.
- 11:50Speaker 8: And these folks are just going to run it into
- 11:52Speaker 8: the ground, and we better be prepared, and you better
- 11:56Speaker 8: get to the polls, because if you don't, that 12%
- 11:59Speaker 8: is going to run this country.
- 12:01Speaker 1: Yeah, right into the damn ground. Congressman Tim Burchett. Get
- 12:04Speaker 1: on that campaign trail, brother. I know you're going to
- 12:06Speaker 1: win your seat. Keep it going.
- 12:07Speaker 8: Thank you, brother. I like that you got me here.
- 12:09Speaker 8: I got to sit in these young college kids. I
- 12:12Speaker 8: get to sit in their car with the air conditioning running,
- 12:14Speaker 8: so it works out pretty well.
- 12:15Speaker 1: Oh, you got some young men driving you around, taking
- 12:17Speaker 1: care of business. All right, good. Get out there.
- 12:18Speaker 3: They know how to work the computer.
- 12:19Speaker 8: They don't let me near computers, Dan.
- 12:21Speaker 10: See you, brother.
- 12:22Speaker 1: That's what we got young people for. Congressman Burchett, thank you, Tim.
- 12:26Speaker 1: Appreciate you. God bless. All right, coming up after the break,
- 12:29Speaker 1: another big victory for gun owners, thanks to our friends
- 12:32Speaker 1: at Gun Owners of America. The Vice President will join
- 12:35Speaker 1: us to share the good news with all of you. Plus,
- 12:38Speaker 1: President Trump says it's time for Ukraine to get new leadership. This,
- 12:42Speaker 1: as the Russia-Ukraine continues the war there, just to drag
- 12:46Speaker 1: on and on and on. Then a bit later on
- 12:48Speaker 1: our program tonight, gonna head down south to the Gulf
- 12:51Speaker 1: and out to the West Coast, where we had a
- 12:52Speaker 1: tropical storm and a hurricane just battered both coastlines. We'll
- 12:58Speaker 1: talk about the death toll and the recovery efforts and
- 13:01Speaker 1: how you can help. Don't go away. For all of

- 13:41Speaker 1: Another week, another promise kept by the Trump administration. From
- 13:45Speaker 1: securing our borders, which they've done, to bringing back some manufacturing,
- 13:50Speaker 1: which many on the left and right said would never
- 13:52Speaker 1: be done, which he's doing, President Trump continues to keep
- 13:56Speaker 1: his promises. I know not every single one of them
- 13:58Speaker 1: has happened exactly the way many of you may have
- 14:01Speaker 1: wanted it, but it's called the swamp for a reason.
- 14:04Speaker 1: He's trying, okay? And so let's talk about a victory
- 14:08Speaker 1: when it comes to pew-pews, shall we? The Second Amendment,
- 14:11Speaker 1: because you know me. I've got mine, and it's not
- 14:15Speaker 1: going anywhere. As of this week, the ATF... is clearing
- 14:20Speaker 1: the way for law-abiding gun owners to buy and transfer suppressors.
- 14:25Speaker 1: Some of you call them silencers, it's just a suppressor.
- 14:28Speaker 1: Now here's the best part, without all the hassle that
- 14:32Speaker 1: you've been forced to go through for years, if you
- 14:33Speaker 1: even could buy one, it's not a legislative change. However,
- 14:37Speaker 1: it is a meaningful step in the direction of restoring
- 14:40Speaker 1: respect for the Second Amendment and for gun owners. The
- 14:44Speaker 1: ATF's director, Robert Cicada, championed this move and he recently
- 14:50Speaker 1: spelled out what it means for gun owners. Take a listen.
- 14:54Speaker 9: Effective October 9th, ATF will no longer require Americans or
- 14:58Speaker 9: federal firearms licensees to seek approval under the National Firearms
- 15:02Speaker 9: Act prior to making or transferring suppressors, short barrel rifles,
- 15:07Speaker 9: short barrel shotguns, or any other weapon. No more requirements
- 15:11Speaker 9: to register these items in the National Firearms and Transfer Record.
- 15:16Speaker 9: These policies will apply to all Americans.
- 15:19Speaker 1: Thank you, sir. I call that a win. And you
- 15:23Speaker 1: wouldn't have seen it under Biden or, God forbid, a
- 15:26Speaker 1: President Harris. That's for sure. Now, some others critical wins
- 15:34Speaker 1: seen throughout this past year include sweeping move over this
- 15:37Speaker 1: past summer. In case you hadn't heard, a federal judge
- 15:40Speaker 1: blocked a Biden-era rule change that infringed upon the private
- 15:45Speaker 1: sale of firearms while significantly expanding background check requirements. That's
- 15:51Speaker 1: no bueno. Under the rule, anybody out there who decides
- 15:54Speaker 1: to sell some guns, regardless of whether or not they
- 15:58Speaker 1: operate a traditional-like storefront, would have to be a registered
- 16:02Speaker 1: gun dealer or they face legal issues. That means a
- 16:07Speaker 1: dad who wants to sell maybe a pistol to his
- 16:11Speaker 1: son or something, could have been prosecuted if he didn't
- 16:15Speaker 1: get a federal license to sell guns. That's the biggest
- 16:18Speaker 1: crock of you-know-what. The Biden regime would say he's engaged
- 16:24Speaker 1: in business. He sold something. Therefore, he's subject to all
- 16:27Speaker 1: the federal licensing requirements.
- 16:30Speaker 11: No.
- 16:32Speaker 1: Welcome to the Democrats' war on our God-given, constitutionally protected
- 16:39Speaker 1: gun rights. It's called the Second Amendment, guys and gals.
- 16:42Speaker 1: on the left. Joining me now to weigh in on
- 16:46Speaker 1: that rule over the summer, which we got to find
- 16:48Speaker 1: out where that's going to go, but also this win
- 16:51Speaker 1: when it comes to suppressors. And I already got buddies
- 16:54Speaker 1: calling me, sending me pics, showing me their ARs with
- 16:57Speaker 1: their new suppressors saying, thank goodness for our next guest,
- 17:00Speaker 1: his group and President Trump. He's the senior vice president
- 17:04Speaker 1: of Gun Owners of America, Eric Pratt. back on the show. Eric,
- 17:07Speaker 1: that is not a joke. A couple of my buddies
- 17:10Speaker 1: sent me pics with their suppressors mounted on their rifles going,
- 17:14Speaker 1: when you have those GOA guys back on, you tell
- 17:17Speaker 1: them thank you. So thank you.
- 17:20Speaker 6: Well, thank you for having me. And it is fantastic news.
- 17:23Speaker 6: And it's true. It started with a GOA court victory
- 17:27Speaker 6: in August where GOA members were exempted from registering suppressors
- 17:33Speaker 6: and short barrel firearms. And then as you mentioned, The
- 17:36Speaker 6: ATF just built on that victory last week by extending
- 17:39Speaker 6: it to all Americans. Two important things to realize.
- 17:42Speaker 10: Yep.
- 17:42Speaker 6: First of all, elections matter. A Kamala Harris administration would
- 17:46Speaker 6: never have done this. So thank you, President Trump, for
- 17:49Speaker 6: your appointees. But second, GOA membership matters because the ATF
- 17:55Speaker 6: director correctly noted that there's a risk. A future ATF
- 17:59Speaker 6: could reverse the guidance they just issued. That means that
- 18:03Speaker 6: if you buy a suppressor now, it could become contraband
- 18:07Speaker 6: under a Gavin Newsom administration unless you have a GOA
- 18:12Speaker 6: membership because GOA members are still protected by the court
- 18:17Speaker 6: ruling in August. So, you know, the ATF can change
- 18:19Speaker 6: its mind. Politicians can change the rules. But GOA membership
- 18:23Speaker 6: is a very important insurance that protects gun owners in
- 18:27Speaker 6: the midst of all that.
- 18:28Speaker 1: And thank you for pointing that out, Eric, because before
- 18:30Speaker 1: ATF did this, and thanks for pointing out that it
- 18:33Speaker 1: could get reversed, a couple of my buddies had literally
- 18:36Speaker 1: joined GOA first, then went to their gun shop and
- 18:41Speaker 1: bought multiple suppressors, and they're glad they did. They used
- 18:44Speaker 1: to be former, you know, those other three letters. I
- 18:47Speaker 1: won't mention those other guys. And they said, they never
- 18:49Speaker 1: did anything for us, but GOA did. So a couple
- 18:51Speaker 1: of my buddies were glad to move over from that
- 18:54Speaker 1: other gun organization to yours. Not talking trash on them.
- 18:58Speaker 1: They've tried. But you guys really get in there and fight.
- 19:01Speaker 1: And you know what I've told you for years, Eric?
- 19:04Speaker 1: I firmly believe that you guys... You don't change. When
- 19:08Speaker 1: it says, shall not be infringed, that's what you believe,
- 19:11Speaker 1: that's what you fight for. Other gun groups will believe.
- 19:13Speaker 1: That's our motto. Right? Other gun groups have, well, sometimes
- 19:17Speaker 1: you've got to give a little to get something, and
- 19:18Speaker 1: let's make a maneuver in D.C., let's work together, let's
- 19:21Speaker 1: lobby both sides. There should be no lobbying and working.
- 19:24Speaker 1: It should be, here's the Constitution. Follow it.
- 19:28Speaker 6: No compromise.
- 19:30Speaker 1: What about this gun registry and the ATF and this
- 19:33Speaker 1: gun licensing crap? That's the last one. I'll go with
- 19:35Speaker 1: the negative news now. You know, a lot of people
- 19:37Speaker 1: are upset. We got to get President Trump to do
- 19:40Speaker 1: something about it before, God forbid, Democrats ever take over
- 19:44Speaker 1: anything again. We've got to do something about this potential
- 19:47Speaker 1: registry list and this whole trying to. make Americans a
- 19:51Speaker 1: gun dealer if I go sell my family member a gun.
- 19:55Speaker 6: It is so frustrating. Biden's ATF enacted this rule to
- 19:59Speaker 6: impose universal background checks on gun owners. They wanted universal
- 20:04Speaker 6: gun owner registration. So, GOA sued twice and we won twice.
- 20:10Speaker 6: But in our second go around in the courtroom, Oh
- 20:14Speaker 6: my goodness, the judge blasted this current DOJ for doubling
- 20:19Speaker 6: down on this unlawful Biden rule. And he basically told them,
- 20:23Speaker 6: don't come into my courtroom and just rearrange a few
- 20:26Speaker 6: words thinking that you'll get me to lift my court order. Well,
- 20:30Speaker 6: that was in August when the judge vacated completely Biden's
- 20:34Speaker 6: anti-gun rule, then last week, the DOJ is now appealing
- 20:38Speaker 6: our victory, and we're like, why? Why would you do
- 20:41Speaker 6: this to prop up an anti-gun rule that was crafted
- 20:45Speaker 6: by an anti-gun ATF? It just makes no sense. It
- 20:48Speaker 6: just shows, like you mentioned earlier, there's a deep state
- 20:51Speaker 6: that still needs to be cleaned out.
- 20:53Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I'll, let's call on the boss man, 47,
- 20:58Speaker 1: President Trump.
- 20:58Speaker 10: Yes.
- 20:59Speaker 1: You heard what Eric just said. Can we please all
- 21:01Speaker 1: get the DOJ, the ATF, the FBI, all these agencies
- 21:05Speaker 1: on the same page, and let's get rid of this stupid.
- 21:08Speaker 1: Follow what the judge said. Follow what GOA is doing
- 21:12Speaker 1: and what we, American taxpaying gun owners, want you to
- 21:16Speaker 1: do and get rid of this ridiculousness. Thank you, Mr. President,
- 21:19Speaker 1: and thank you to Eric Pratt and Gun Owners of America.
- 21:22Speaker 1: God bless you, brother. Keep fighting for us.
- 21:23Speaker 3: Thank you, Dan.
- 21:25Speaker 6: Hey, thank you for having us and getting the word out,
- 21:28Speaker 6: as always.
- 21:29Speaker 1: And I will, as always. You let me know when
- 21:32Speaker 1: anything needs to be told to my viewers, and you're on. Eric,
- 21:35Speaker 1: God bless. Take care, brother.
- 21:36Speaker 6: Thanks, brother.
- 21:37Speaker 1: Yep. Up next, what's been going on between Russia and Ukraine?
- 21:42Speaker 1: More drone strikes. Now you got President Trump saying maybe
- 21:46Speaker 1: Ukraine needs leadership. We just did a diesel deal purchase
- 21:50Speaker 1: with Russia. People are giving Trump a bunch of heck
- 21:53Speaker 1: for that in the middle of this conflict. We're going
- 21:56Speaker 1: to talk all about it with retired Lieutenant Colonel Robert
- 21:58Speaker 1: McGinnis next. Don't go away. For all of our viewers
- 22:04Speaker 1: out there asking where to watch One America News, we'd

- 22:28Speaker 1: and conservative talk you can't get anywhere else. Wow. Watch
- 22:50Speaker 1: that video one more time, folks. A packed airport in
- 22:53Speaker 1: the Middle East, and then this happens. Hard to fathom.
- 23:02Speaker 1: Things are spiraling out of control in the Middle East,
- 23:05Speaker 1: and it's all Iran's fault. Period. Point blank. You know,
- 23:11Speaker 1: the Iran-backed terror group, the Houthis, right? There's so many,
- 23:14Speaker 1: you have to double-check which one's Dan talking about. Is
- 23:17Speaker 1: it Hezbollah? Is it Hamas? Is it the Houthis? Al-Shabaab?
- 23:20Speaker 1: You name it. Anyway, the Houthis attacking Saudi Arabia. That's
- 23:27Speaker 1: what you just witnessed right there. That entire country on
- 23:30Speaker 1: high alert. Why? Well, because they hit the main airport
- 23:35Speaker 1: in Saudi Arabia multiple times. 13 people killed. Many, many
- 23:42Speaker 1: more injured. A heavy missile strike on Saturday, as you
- 23:46Speaker 1: can tell right here in this video. directly hit the
- 23:48Speaker 1: main passenger terminal. And then a separate strike on Sunday
- 23:54Speaker 1: hit a passenger hall, caused a huge fire. Now airlines
- 23:58Speaker 1: are canceling flights. Airport operations are being suspended. The Saudis
- 24:03Speaker 1: are investigating. How the heck did the Houthis get past
- 24:08Speaker 1: their defense system and pull something like this off? And
- 24:11Speaker 1: by the way, Saudis, How about you start striking Iran,
- 24:15Speaker 1: helping us out? How about Middle Eastern countries take your
- 24:18Speaker 1: own trash out so we can just drop a few
- 24:21Speaker 1: more bombs and get the hell out of Dodge? That's
- 24:24Speaker 1: what I'd like to see. Let's get our gas prices down,
- 24:27Speaker 1: get our flyboys back home and the boats, and just
- 24:31Speaker 1: let the rest of the Middle East destroy the IRGC.
- 24:35Speaker 1: That's what I'd like to see. You'd think something like
- 24:38Speaker 1: that would happen after the Saudis get attacked like that
- 24:41Speaker 1: on their home soil. All the while, President Trump saying
- 24:44Speaker 1: that we may join Saudi Arabia's counter-strikes next week. Why
- 24:50Speaker 1: are we talking about next week? He told reporters that
- 24:53Speaker 1: they and we will be moving very quickly.
- 25:09Speaker 2: We agreed to an energy supply. The American team knows
- 25:14Speaker 2: very well what this means for us. We do not
- 25:20Speaker 2: have major oil reserves, large oil export capacity, or dozens
- 25:27Speaker 2: of oil refineries.
- 25:29Speaker 1: Now we go from the conflict over in the Middle
- 25:31Speaker 1: East to one that's been going on for years now
- 25:34Speaker 1: between Russia and Ukraine. We'll start with the Ukrainian president,
- 25:38Speaker 1: who you just heard from right there, Mr. Zelenskyy. He
- 25:40Speaker 1: spoke at the Warsaw Security Forum in Poland today. He
- 25:44Speaker 1: accused Russia of violating a new ceasefire that was announced
- 25:48Speaker 1: by President Trump over this past weekend. He also implied
- 25:51Speaker 1: that the president's statement about it on social media didn't
- 25:55Speaker 1: work because, I don't know, but anyway, before we get
- 26:01Speaker 1: to what the president said, what Zelensky thinks he said,
- 26:04Speaker 1: let's get to the attacks. Here's what we know to
- 26:07Speaker 1: be fact. Russian forces... hit at least six energy targets
- 26:12Speaker 1: late last night and then again in the morning, reportedly
- 26:15Speaker 1: killing about 10 and injuring dozens more. This happened across
- 26:19Speaker 1: several cities in Ukraine. Rolling blackouts now are underway. Hundreds
- 26:24Speaker 1: of thousands of people do not have power. Ukrainian officials
- 26:28Speaker 1: are monitoring and trying to get the power back up.
- 26:31Speaker 1: What's more, they're looking for any signs of future attacks. Although,
- 26:36Speaker 1: per brand new reports out today, Russia's president, Vladimir Putin
- 26:40Speaker 1: says he'd be willing to stop attacking Ukraine, but only
- 26:44Speaker 1: if they held a new election like yesterday. That's strange.
- 26:49Speaker 1: The news comes as Moscow rejects a 60-day ceasefire deal
- 26:52Speaker 1: proposed by Zelensky over the weekend. Now again, it does
- 26:58Speaker 1: dovetail some of the recent remarks from President Trump about
- 27:02Speaker 1: the war, about the ceasefire when it comes to energy.
- 27:07Speaker 1: President Trump blasted Zelensky over the weekend for the current
- 27:11Speaker 1: state of the war, suggesting that a leadership change could
- 27:16Speaker 1: be key to reaching a peace deal. Obviously, Zelensky didn't
- 27:20Speaker 1: like that, but the president's trying to end this war.
- 27:25Speaker 1: You know what I suggest?
- 27:28Speaker 12: I suggest they get a new leader who can make
- 27:31Speaker 12: a deal, because he could have made many deals that
- 27:33Speaker 12: for some reason he never does. And let me go
- 27:35Speaker 12: a step further. If I were president, you wouldn't have
- 27:39Speaker 12: ever had that war. That war would have never started.
- 27:42Speaker 12: There was no reason that that war with Ukraine and
- 27:44Speaker 12: Russia started. It started due to incompetence.
- 27:49Speaker 1: He's not wrong. You've heard both presidents, especially Putin, recently
- 27:53Speaker 1: say that if President Trump was in charge back when
- 27:56Speaker 1: this war started, both sides agree it probably wouldn't have started.
- 28:00Speaker 1: Joining me now to comment on what's happening with Ukraine
- 28:03Speaker 1: and Russia, but more importantly, what's happening with Iran and
- 28:06Speaker 1: our involvement. That's what I'm concerned about. He's a retired U.S.
- 28:09Speaker 1: Army officer, former Pentagon strategist, and a former instructor at
- 28:13Speaker 1: the U.S. Army War College, a good pal. Retired Lieutenant
- 28:15Speaker 1: Colonel Robert McGinnis, back on Real America. Colonel, before we
- 28:21Speaker 1: get to all that hoopla and he said, she said
- 28:22Speaker 1: between Putin, Zelensky, and Trump, let's go to Iran. They
- 28:27Speaker 1: keep hitting the Saudis. I would hope the Saudis are
- 28:30Speaker 1: going to start hitting them back hard as hell. You
- 28:33Speaker 1: heard what I said. The president said we may join
- 28:35Speaker 1: in with the Saudis on some new strikes this week.
- 28:39Speaker 1: Is that strikes just on the Houthis? Are we talking
- 28:42Speaker 1: about seeing some actual strikes from the Saudis and our alleged,
- 28:47Speaker 1: you know, partners in the Middle East actually hit Iran,
- 28:50Speaker 1: hit the IRGC?
- 28:52Speaker 11: Unfortunately, the Saudis tend to be rather tepid when it
- 28:55Speaker 11: comes to actually taking direct action themselves. They like to
- 28:59Speaker 11: buy all our key weapons systems, and, of course, we
- 29:02Speaker 11: maintain them in that country. But when it comes to fighting,
- 29:07Speaker 11: they don't really have enough stomach for it. to really
- 29:10Speaker 11: take it to. Now, they've been fighting, allegedly, the Houthis
- 29:14Speaker 11: for 20 years, and to take it after the Iranians
- 29:18Speaker 11: would be really upping the ante for the Saudis. I'd
- 29:22Speaker 11: like to see that. They obviously have the ability. It's
- 29:27Speaker 11: just a matter of getting the political will to do
- 29:29Speaker 11: what's necessary.
- 29:31Speaker 1: Well, you brought something up right there. So we maintain
- 29:34Speaker 1: their system. You heard in my script, that a lot
- 29:38Speaker 1: of experts are wondering how in the heck did missiles
- 29:41Speaker 1: get through those defense systems to hit their main airport?
- 29:44Speaker 1: How does that happen, Colonel?
- 29:47Speaker 11: Well, they obviously snuck them in. They probably were not
- 29:50Speaker 11: long-range missiles. I haven't seen the telemetry to really make
- 29:56Speaker 11: sure that's the case. However, big desert, limited real security
- 30:03Speaker 11: capabilities in terms of tracking. The long-range stuff that comes
- 30:08Speaker 11: out of Tehran is a different proposition. But all you
- 30:12Speaker 11: have to do is have a relatively, like the Hezbollah
- 30:16Speaker 11: learned against Israel, is relatively short-range missiles, and then you
- 30:20Speaker 11: can easily attack an airport. They have plenty of sympathizers.
- 30:24Speaker 11: There are a lot of Shia Muslims that are in
- 30:28Speaker 11: the eastern part of Saudi Arabia. So it's not unlikely
- 30:32Speaker 11: that some sympathy is there and that they're using that
- 30:36Speaker 11: as a conduit in which to attack the Saudis. But ultimately,
- 30:39Speaker 11: what they want... is to intimidate the population to make
- 30:43Speaker 11: transportation in the region much more difficult. And they're just
- 30:47Speaker 11: anticipating the next round of action by us.
- 30:50Speaker 1: Yeah, well, and with 27 days till the midterms, I
- 30:54Speaker 1: don't know if President Trump's getting Advice from advisors, don't
- 30:59Speaker 1: hit them again until after. My advice would be hit
- 31:02Speaker 1: them strong as hell right now and call it game over.
- 31:06Speaker 1: We're done so that voters know we're done in that region.
- 31:09Speaker 1: You were a political strategist and a military strategist at
- 31:13Speaker 1: the Pentagon. If you're in the room right now advising
- 31:15Speaker 1: the president with 22 days to go before the midterms
- 31:18Speaker 1: and there's people on our voting side, meaning the conservative
- 31:21Speaker 1: Republican side, that are going, well, what the hell is
- 31:24Speaker 1: happening in Iran? What would you advise him, Colonel?
- 31:28Speaker 11: What's happening, unfortunately, is according to the Israeli intel, the
- 31:33Speaker 11: Iranians are rapidly rebuilding their missile inventory. And that's just
- 31:37Speaker 11: going to make, if another three weeks is a delay
- 31:40Speaker 11: in our operations, it's going to make things far more difficult.
- 31:44Speaker 11: And their senior leadership has already made it very clear
- 31:47Speaker 11: they're going after our infrastructure in the region, especially the
- 31:52Speaker 11: AI that we've been using to target and to deliver munitions.
- 31:57Speaker 11: So I think that sooner would be better, Dan, but
- 32:01Speaker 11: I'm not in that room.
- 32:02Speaker 1: Okay. Well, you're on TV. I know folks in the
- 32:05Speaker 1: administration watch the show sometimes. Maybe they'll listen to the
- 32:09Speaker 1: good colonel. Final one, let's go back to Ukraine and Russia,
- 32:12Speaker 1: and I'll just put a bow on it. What do
- 32:14Speaker 1: you think should happen there? You heard the president say,
- 32:16Speaker 1: I think it's time for leadership change. You got Putin saying,
- 32:19Speaker 1: I'll actually adhere to a ceasefire if you'll hold an
- 32:22Speaker 1: election and elect a new president. I mean, you know,
- 32:25Speaker 1: we obviously as a country have supported Ukraine over Russia
- 32:29Speaker 1: for obvious certain reasons, but I feel like the president's
- 32:32Speaker 1: so frustrated now, it's like, let's just get a clean
- 32:35Speaker 1: slate and see if we can get this thing and
- 32:37Speaker 1: nip it in the bud and stop it after several years.
- 32:40Speaker 1: Your thoughts there? Again, what would you be advising here?
- 32:43Speaker 11: Well, I don't trust either side, but Zelensky probably should go.
- 32:48Speaker 11: He's really dragged his feet on a number of opportunities
- 32:51Speaker 11: that the president has presented. Like I say, I don't
- 32:55Speaker 11: trust Putin. Putin would lie to your face and so forth.
- 32:59Speaker 11: So we're dealing with a very difficult situation. The president's
- 33:04Speaker 11: trying to weave our way through this menagerie. Unfortunately, you know,
- 33:12Speaker 11: the diesel, the things that are hurting us in the midterms,
- 33:17Speaker 11: it would be nice to get this war over with
- 33:19Speaker 11: as the president would like, but I'm not sure that
- 33:22Speaker 11: even replacing Zelensky is gonna hurry it up.
- 33:25Speaker 1: Yep, and again, this wasn't, you know, this was a
- 33:28Speaker 1: big fat you know what burger that got dropped in
- 33:31Speaker 1: his lap thanks to the Biden regime. I firmly believe
- 33:35Speaker 1: it could have been avoided And when you talk to
- 33:37Speaker 1: the parties, they literally think it could have been avoided
- 33:39Speaker 1: if he would have been president. Retired Lieutenant Colonel Robert McGinnis,
- 33:42Speaker 1: as always, thanks for your insight on these issues. Appreciate you. Thanks, Dan. Yep.
- 33:46Speaker 1: Coming up next, Americans on both coasts are cleaning up
- 33:50Speaker 1: today after two powerful storm systems. One, hitting the East
- 33:54Speaker 1: Coast over in the Gulf and hitting some of those
- 33:56Speaker 1: Gulf Coast states. A lot of damage there, even death.
- 33:59Speaker 1: In Southern California, a tropical storm hit. A lot of
- 34:02Speaker 1: damage out here. Our friends with Convoy of Hope have
- 34:05Speaker 1: been on the ground since last week lending a helping hand.
- 34:08Speaker 1: They'll be here next. Tell us how you can help
- 34:11Speaker 1: your fellow Americans. For all of our viewers out there
- 34:17Speaker 1: asking where to watch One America News, we'd like to

- 34:41Speaker 1: and conservative talk you can't get anywhere else. Woo, Old
- 35:03Speaker 1: Glory trying to hang on in hurricane winds. So if
- 35:06Speaker 1: you didn't know, there was two big storm systems hitting
- 35:10Speaker 1: kind of both ends of our nation over the weekend. First,
- 35:14Speaker 1: we're going to head where it was really, really bad.
- 35:16Speaker 1: And that's Hurricane, I think it was ECS? who tore
- 35:20Speaker 1: through Florida, Alabama, and some of the Gulf states. This
- 35:23Speaker 1: was the first big one of the 2026 season. Now,
- 35:27Speaker 1: it was a cat three when it was out in
- 35:29Speaker 1: the ocean. By the time it hit, it had gone
- 35:31Speaker 1: down to a category two. That's good, but take a
- 35:34Speaker 1: look at the video. It was still bad, folks. People
- 35:39Speaker 1: now picking up. Look at all the destruction. That looks
- 35:41Speaker 1: like an entire roof got ripped off that saving pick
- 35:44Speaker 1: or something and just saved more. It dropped in the, wow,
- 35:47Speaker 1: all the flooding. The wind gusts, I mean, they had
- 35:50Speaker 1: 100 and some mile an hour gusts. People lost their
- 35:53Speaker 1: entire homes, whether it got flooded out or look at this.
- 35:57Speaker 1: Those are like apartments, no more roof, totally just ripped off.
- 36:02Speaker 1: I'm told power got knocked out to 930,000 people throughout
- 36:07Speaker 1: the Gulf region. Major rainfall, of course, then huge, huge flooding,
- 36:12Speaker 1: but people are helping already. As we told you last week,
- 36:17Speaker 1: our good, good friends, From the Convoy of Hope, we're
- 36:20Speaker 1: already on the ground, and as soon as people needed stuff,
- 36:24Speaker 1: they were there providing critical relief.
- 36:28Speaker 10: Hey, I'm here in Pace, Florida, where we are having,
- 36:30Speaker 10: Convoy of Hope is having a major hurricane distribution of supplies.
- 36:34Speaker 10: You see the cars snaked through this parking lot. This
- 36:37Speaker 10: is just a handful of the cars because the cars
- 36:40Speaker 10: go all the way around this block and come back
- 36:43Speaker 10: through because what they're getting are the supplies that we.
- 36:46Speaker 3: Have right over here. Hi there. We've got tents set up,
- 36:50Speaker 3: and at these tents.
- 36:51Speaker 10: We have the supplies that we're handing out to folks
- 36:54Speaker 10: who desperately need it because power is out for so many.
- 36:57Speaker 3: And in this area of Florida, the panhandle, a.
- 36:59Speaker 10: Lot of tornadoes actually touched down that maybe you haven't
- 37:02Speaker 10: heard about.
- 37:03Speaker 1: Now, that was our good friend Ethan Forrest. He's going
- 37:05Speaker 1: to join us in just a second from Convoy of
- 37:06Speaker 1: Hope down in Florida. But I've got to talk about
- 37:08Speaker 1: what hit us where I live. If you lived in
- 37:11Speaker 1: Southern California over the weekend, you know, Rachel, the tropical
- 37:14Speaker 1: storm made landfall. Look at these waterfront homes. Destroyed. I mean,
- 37:20Speaker 1: they could probably rebuild, but are they going to have
- 37:21Speaker 1: a beach? I don't know. It was bad. Long Beach,
- 37:26Speaker 1: Huntington Beach, Newport Beach. Look at this. Huge swells destroying
- 37:32Speaker 1: hundreds of millions in real estate. I mean, I don't
- 37:36Speaker 1: know how many houses got hit, but they have red
- 37:39Speaker 1: tagged a bunch of them, which means you can't rebuild.
- 37:42Speaker 1: You've got to tear them down. And again, will they
- 37:44Speaker 1: be able to rebuild there? Who knows? By the way,
- 37:47Speaker 1: it went beyond just the coastal cities of San Diego
- 37:51Speaker 1: up to Long Beach and in between. The inner parts
- 37:55Speaker 1: of California, even like the desert and the high desert,
- 37:58Speaker 1: got hit. Even Las Vegas, look at this, got flooded.
- 38:02Speaker 1: And there's another tropical storm that's going to hit. parts
- 38:06Speaker 1: of Mexico, and then come up through Arizona and Nevada today, tomorrow,
- 38:10Speaker 1: and Wednesday. So a lot of destruction on both coasts
- 38:13Speaker 1: and the Gulf. And so joining us now, the folks
- 38:16Speaker 1: that are right there on the front lines helping our neighbors.
- 38:19Speaker 1: He's the national spokesperson and vice president of public engagement
- 38:23Speaker 1: for Convoy of Hope, Ethan Forhets, down there in Florida
- 38:27Speaker 1: handing out the goods. Ethan, thank you, brother. God bless.
- 38:30Speaker 1: How you been?
- 38:33Speaker 10: It's been a rough weekend over the weekend. We last talked,
- 38:35Speaker 10: I think, on Friday, Dan, and we rode out the storm.
- 38:38Speaker 10: I'm part of the advance team. We rode out the storm.
- 38:41Speaker 3: It was a long night.
- 38:42Speaker 10: On Friday night into Saturday, and then you wake up
- 38:45Speaker 10: and you begin to, at first light, you begin to
- 38:47Speaker 10: assess and see what the damage is. There's a lot
- 38:50Speaker 10: of damage, a lot of trees down. The biggest issues
- 38:52Speaker 10: going forward, power outages remain for thousands. Water is out
- 38:56Speaker 10: for some folks. That makes life very difficult for people
- 39:01Speaker 10: as they, because it's hot down here now, and they're
- 39:03Speaker 10: trying to get their life back together.
- 39:05Speaker 3: They really need the power and water to be running.
- 39:08Speaker 1: In that video, I don't recall if I heard you mention,
- 39:13Speaker 1: just in the last day or two of people driving
- 39:16Speaker 1: through and picking up essentials that they need from you all,
- 39:20Speaker 1: how many people, how many families do you think you
- 39:22Speaker 1: guys have already helped there? I know you help them
- 39:24Speaker 1: in other ways. Just driving through to pick stuff up.
- 39:27Speaker 10: Yeah, I checked today right before I came on the
- 39:29Speaker 10: air with you. and today it was nearly 800 families
- 39:32Speaker 10: that came through. So there were hundreds of cars. I mean,
- 39:35Speaker 10: the line was around the block. We started at 10
- 39:37Speaker 10: o'clock this morning, went to about 2 o'clock or so.
- 39:39Speaker 3: And then we have to restock.
- 39:41Speaker 10: That's what's happening right there.
- 39:42Speaker 3: I don't know if you can hear it.
- 39:43Speaker 10: But right behind the camera, we've got big trucks set up.
- 39:46Speaker 10: They have forklifts that they're delivering to our warehouse.
- 39:51Speaker 3: In the field.
- 39:51Speaker 10: It's a giant tent that's set up because we're having
- 39:53Speaker 10: another major distribution here. And that's what I know the media,
- 39:58Speaker 10: for the most part, has kind of moved on from this.
- 40:01Speaker 3: But, man, whenever you see that many people.
- 40:03Speaker 10: In line and they're here at 8 o'clock in the
- 40:05Speaker 10: morning for a 10 o'clock a.m. distribution, You understand the
- 40:10Speaker 10: need that there is in this community. So many places
- 40:14Speaker 10: around here, lower income, folks weren't in great shape before
- 40:18Speaker 10: this storm, and now they're really struggling.
- 40:21Speaker 1: And so far, folks, you can see the destruction on
- 40:24Speaker 1: your screen right there. These are high-rise apartment buildings, shredded,
- 40:27Speaker 1: roofs ripped off, you know, cars flooded out, beaches destroyed,
- 40:32Speaker 1: people's oceanfront homes destroyed. And four deaths so far. Again,
- 40:39Speaker 1: there are still a couple missing folks, so we'll see
- 40:41Speaker 1: if that rises. Let's hope to God not. But right now,
- 40:44Speaker 1: at least four deaths, which I got to say, after
- 40:47Speaker 1: you see these hurricanes hit Florida and Gulf Coast in
- 40:49Speaker 1: years past, sometimes it's huge double digits. So I got
- 40:54Speaker 1: to say, I think people listened to the warnings on
- 40:57Speaker 1: this one, Ethan, and got out of Dodge or seeked
- 41:00Speaker 1: higher ground. And so let's hope that death toll does
- 41:03Speaker 1: not rise. Just wanted to get your take on what
- 41:05Speaker 1: happened out here in California and whether or not you
- 41:07Speaker 1: guys will be helping. I think that it hit a
- 41:09Speaker 1: little harder than people thought it was going to hit.
- 41:10Speaker 1: And those storm surges in Southern California did a lot
- 41:13Speaker 1: more destruction than people thought it was going to do.
- 41:17Speaker 1: And we're losing Ethan's signal a little bit. Ethan, sorry,
- 41:22Speaker 1: I don't know if you can hear me, but your
- 41:24Speaker 1: signal is breaking up. Totally understandable in the situation that
- 41:28Speaker 1: they're in down there. but it looks like our signal
- 41:30Speaker 1: with him is getting a little too weak. But I
- 41:32Speaker 1: just wanted to show a little more of that destruction
- 41:34Speaker 1: out here in California so folks realize this wasn't just
- 41:37Speaker 1: a little bit of rain and a little bit of wind.
- 41:40Speaker 1: This was a tropical storm that hit Southern California and
- 41:44Speaker 1: did a lot of damage. Good news so far, no
- 41:48Speaker 1: deaths to report on the West Coast. And as I said,
- 41:50Speaker 1: let's hope that the East Coast death toll does not rise.
- 41:53Speaker 1: I don't think we got him back in, so I
- 41:54Speaker 1: will end it and just say big thanks to our
- 41:56Speaker 1: friends from Convoy of Hope. If we have the information, guys,
- 41:59Speaker 1: put it on the screen so people know where they
- 42:01Speaker 1: can donate. Let's help our fellow Americans in their time
- 42:03Speaker 1: of need. It is convoyofhope.org, and these guys are on
- 42:07Speaker 1: the grounds, on the front lines helping, so your donation
- 42:11Speaker 1: will definitely go directly to Americans in need. Thank you
- 42:14Speaker 1: so much. Ethan, thanks for coming on. All right, stick around.
- 42:18Speaker 1: Our good friend Dinesh D'Souza is going to join us next,
- 42:21Speaker 1: talk about a brand-new film that coincides with a brand-new
- 42:24Speaker 1: book he wrote that drops tomorrow. It's called The Stones
- 42:28Speaker 1: Cry Out. And if you're a Christian or maybe you're
- 42:31Speaker 1: doubting what the Bible says happened and went down, look
- 42:34Speaker 1: no further than this film and this book because this
- 42:37Speaker 1: is science, folks. This is archaeology proving what the Bible
- 42:41Speaker 1: has told us for thousands of years did happen. It
- 42:44Speaker 1: does exist. Stay with us. For all of our viewers
- 42:50Speaker 1: out there asking where to watch One America News, we'd
- 42:53Speaker 1: like to introduce you to OAN Live. OAN Live is
- 42:56Speaker 1: the best way to stay up to date on the
- 42:58Speaker 1: hardest-hitting news and our talk shows. And the best part is,
- 43:01Speaker 1: OAN Live is only $ 4. 99 per month. Credible, honest, and
- 43:06Speaker 1: unbiased reporting at a fraction of the cost of cable.
- 43:09Speaker 1: So just click on the link at the top of

- 43:15Speaker 1: and conservative talk you can't get anywhere else.
- 43:26Speaker 13: There is only one nation in the world whose identity,
- 43:29Speaker 13: whose very existence, is based on a book. That nation
- 43:32Speaker 13: is Israel, and the book is the Bible. We live
- 43:35Speaker 13: today in a world where the claims of the Bible
- 43:37Speaker 13: are under attack. Many regard the Bible as a mythical
- 43:41Speaker 13: or fictional account of people who never existed in events
- 43:44Speaker 13: that never happened. Are the foundations of America and the
- 43:47Speaker 13: West based on fiction and myth? we now have a
- 43:51Speaker 13: unique way to test the claims of the Bible through
- 43:54Speaker 13: biblical archaeology. Did the walls of Jericho fall in the
- 43:58Speaker 13: way that the Bible records? Figures like Pontius Pilate and
- 44:01Speaker 13: the high priest Caiaphas, can we prove that they were real?
- 44:05Speaker 13: And where was the actual site of Jesus' crucifixion?
- 44:10Speaker 14: Finally, are there any significant archaeological findings that contradict or
- 44:15Speaker 14: refute the Bible? I'll explore this question and more in
- 44:21Speaker 14: The Stones Cry Out.
- 44:23Speaker 1: Man, does that look amazing. We talked about this in
- 44:27Speaker 1: book form. Now it's time to talk about it in film.
- 44:31Speaker 1: The Stone Cries Out. Our next guest behind all of it.
- 44:36Speaker 1: And you know that I love this guy. Produced in
- 44:39Speaker 1: partnership with PragerU. This groundbreaking project investigates the historical and scientific.
- 44:45Speaker 1: That's the key, folks. The scientific truths. behind the Bible,
- 44:51Speaker 1: but through the lens of archaeology. So you can't lie
- 44:55Speaker 1: about science. Well, that is unless you're, you know, crazy
- 44:58Speaker 1: liberals and you can change your gender. But anyway, that's
- 45:00Speaker 1: a discussion for another segment. This film will take viewers
- 45:04Speaker 1: through the artifacts, through the biblical events, and then show
- 45:07Speaker 1: evidence that's related directly to our Old and New Testament
- 45:12Speaker 1: as Christians. As you can tell, I'm psyched about this.
- 45:16Speaker 1: From an ancient bath, used for Jewish rituals, to stone
- 45:20Speaker 1: fragments bearing biblical names. This documentary and the accompanying book, which,
- 45:25Speaker 1: by the way, hits store shelves tomorrow, I'm told, brings
- 45:29Speaker 1: scripture to life. We even get a glimpse into the
- 45:32Speaker 1: Israelites' historic journey. Take a look at this. What we
- 45:36Speaker 1: do know.
- 45:36Speaker 14: is that the Israelites reached Canaan. We know this, Kenneth
- 45:40Speaker 14: Kitchener points out, because archaeologists have discovered a whole rash
- 45:43Speaker 14: of new settlements, and the population of the region seems
- 45:47Speaker 14: to have first doubled, then quintupled. Moreover, a late 19th
- 45:51Speaker 14: century discovery at a pharaoh's mortuary temple definitively confirms the
- 45:56Speaker 14: presence of the Israelites in Canaan.
- 45:59Speaker 1: Joining me now, you saw him right there, he's responsible
- 46:02Speaker 1: for the book and the film and so many other
- 46:04Speaker 1: great documentaries and other books too. I just love our
- 46:06Speaker 1: next guest. He's the host of the Dinesh podcast, documentary
- 46:10Speaker 1: filmmaker and author. There's the book. Again, The Stones Cry Out,
- 46:15Speaker 1: along with the amazing film, our good pal, Dinesh D'Souza,
- 46:18Speaker 1: back on Real America. Hi, Dinesh. And let me just
- 46:21Speaker 1: say thank you, sir, for doing this project when you
- 46:23Speaker 1: came on A couple months back to talk about the book,
- 46:26Speaker 1: I was already excited. Now when you get to visualize
- 46:29Speaker 1: it in the film form, I am really stoked about this.
- 46:32Speaker 1: Welcome back.
- 46:33Speaker 14: Yeah, I'm delighted to be back, of course, but I'm
- 46:36Speaker 14: delighted that PragerU partnered with me on this project. I
- 46:40Speaker 14: was able to go to all these sites, and so
- 46:43Speaker 14: it's one thing to tell you about them. It's another
- 46:46Speaker 14: thing to kind of put you on the scene so
- 46:48Speaker 14: you can experience this archaeology for yourself. Archaeology, by the way,
- 46:53Speaker 14: the science of objects that come out of the ground.
- 46:57Speaker 6: It can be an arrowhead.
- 46:59Speaker 14: A skeleton, sometimes a whole city, sometimes just a stone
- 47:03Speaker 14: inscription or some writing on pottery. And this biblical archaeology
- 47:07Speaker 14: has been going on for about 150 years. It's uncovered
- 47:12Speaker 14: thousands of artifacts, and these can be now measured or
- 47:15Speaker 14: matched against the biblical narrative. Let's remember the biblical narrative
- 47:20Speaker 14: goes all the way from Abraham and the patriarchs That's
- 47:23Speaker 14: about 2000 BC, all the way to the early Christian
- 47:28Speaker 14: movement following the crucifixion. That's about 50 AD. So it's
- 47:32Speaker 14: a pretty wide timescale. And it also covers a number
- 47:36Speaker 14: of nations, not just Israel, Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, which
- 47:42Speaker 14: was the region of ancient Babylon. Greece and Turkey. So
- 47:47Speaker 14: this is the kind of geographical sweep of archaeology. It's
- 47:51Speaker 14: a very exciting venture. And I think the net effect
- 47:54Speaker 14: of the book is, and the documentary, is to encourage
- 47:58Speaker 14: the believer and to, in some.
- 48:01Speaker 6: Ways, befuddle the skeptic.
- 48:04Speaker 14: Because the way I put it is I say things
- 48:06Speaker 14: that for a long time had to be accepted on
- 48:09Speaker 14: faith can now be seen to be matters of fact.
- 48:12Speaker 1: That's a great way to say it, Dinesh. And I
- 48:14Speaker 1: would hope that it would embolden Maybe some weak-kneed Christians
- 48:19Speaker 1: out there who have been afraid to speak about their
- 48:22Speaker 1: faith or just didn't have that backbone enough to firmly
- 48:26Speaker 1: believe blindly like we're supposed to in our faith. Here
- 48:29Speaker 1: you go, folks. Here's the science to prove over 4,000
- 48:34Speaker 1: years of what we Christians believe in. It's right there
- 48:37Speaker 1: in front of you. Dinesh, just a couple of weeks ago,
- 48:39Speaker 1: I had on one of the guys that's doing the
- 48:41Speaker 1: dig over in Turkey. on the, you know, on the ark.
- 48:46Speaker 1: And they're finding these big stones with a big hole
- 48:50Speaker 1: in the top with hieroglyphics carved in the rock. And
- 48:53Speaker 1: they look like to me what they say they are.
- 48:56Speaker 1: They were big anchor stones to anchor the boat or
- 48:58Speaker 1: to hold it steady. And now they've uncovered those. You
- 49:00Speaker 1: look at the shape and then everything they've been discovering.
- 49:03Speaker 1: Like again, The bath area, the place where Jesus walked
- 49:08Speaker 1: up the mount, where he washed his feet in the Jordan,
- 49:11Speaker 1: all this stuff that's being uncovered is stuff that I
- 49:14Speaker 1: just remember reading about in the Sunday school in Bible
- 49:18Speaker 1: class as a little kid, four, five, six, seven years
- 49:21Speaker 1: old in Northwest Ohio, in the basement of the Zion
- 49:23Speaker 1: Mennonite Church. And now at 52, to see you go
- 49:27Speaker 1: over there, document it, the scientists are proving it. I
- 49:31Speaker 1: gotta tell you, this is one of the coolest things
- 49:34Speaker 1: I've ever seen in my lifetime, Dinesh. Thank you for this.
- 49:36Speaker 14: You know, I'm not just blown away by the big,
- 49:39Speaker 14: kind of the big guys of the Bible, like Abraham
- 49:42Speaker 14: or Joshua, King David or King Solomon, the prophets Isaiah, Jeremiah,
- 49:48Speaker 14: later of course Jesus. But there are minor figures in
- 49:51Speaker 14: the Bible. I call these guys like biblical extras or
- 49:55Speaker 14: cameo appearances in the Bible. Some of these guys are
- 49:59Speaker 14: so obscure they appear in only one line. Even a
- 50:01Speaker 14: pastor doesn't recognize these names. And yet out of the
- 50:04Speaker 14: ground will come a clay seal impression. And these clay
- 50:08Speaker 14: seals were used to secure correspondence. And on the seal,
- 50:12Speaker 14: impression is a name. And then someone looks at it
- 50:15Speaker 14: and they go, whoa, that guy's in the book of Jeremiah.
- 50:18Speaker 14: And so suddenly that guy, you know, Jehukal son of
- 50:21Speaker 14: Shalamiah or Gadalia son of Pashur, this guy jumps into
- 50:26Speaker 14: the pages of history via the pathway of archaeology. So
- 50:30Speaker 14: the Bible is being validated, not just in its big, figures,
- 50:36Speaker 14: but also in some cases to its minutest details.
- 50:39Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 50:40Speaker 1: And when those little ones come in, I mean, there's
- 50:42Speaker 1: no denying. Of course, I'm a big fan of Daniel.
- 50:45Speaker 1: That's where the name came from. Daniel in the lion's den.
- 50:48Speaker 1: So heard about that story so many times as a
- 50:50Speaker 1: little kid from my grandmother and my mother. So big,
- 50:54Speaker 1: big thank you. Dinesh, the book, my team got it right.
- 50:57Speaker 1: It hits store shelves tomorrow. Is that correct?
- 50:59Speaker 4: Yes, it does.
- 51:00Speaker 14: It's on the verge of coming out. So great time
- 51:02Speaker 14: to get it. You'll get it right away.
- 51:04Speaker 1: And then the film, when, where? Give me the details
- 51:07Speaker 1: on the film version.
- 51:08Speaker 14: The film has just been released by PragerU. You can
- 51:11Speaker 14: just go to their site, PragerU.com, or just go to
- 51:14Speaker 14: my feed on X, and you'll see links to it.
- 51:17Speaker 14: And it's also available at PragerU on their YouTube channel. So,
- 51:22Speaker 14: and it's free. It's a two hour film. It's also
- 51:25Speaker 14: broken up into 12 episodes, like 12 chapters of the Bible.
- 51:29Speaker 1: So if you're interested in.
- 51:30Speaker 14: King David, just click that episode. Each episode is about
- 51:33Speaker 14: 10 minutes long. So you can actually take this in
- 51:37Speaker 14: little morsels if you like.
- 51:38Speaker 1: No, I want to watch the whole thing. If it's
- 51:40Speaker 1: only two hours, that is something I don't want to,
- 51:42Speaker 1: I want to be on the edge of my seat
- 51:43Speaker 1: watching and learning or remembering what I learned right from 40,
- 51:47Speaker 1: 50 years ago as a little kid. Dinesh, God bless
- 51:50Speaker 1: you for this. The Stones Cry Out, the book available tomorrow,
- 51:53Speaker 1: the film out now. Big thanks to Dennis and the
- 51:55Speaker 1: folks at PragerU. We're always, of course, wishing him a
- 51:58Speaker 1: recovery after what happened to him a year ago. Dinesh,
- 52:01Speaker 1: God bless you again and the whole family. You take care, sir.
- 52:03Speaker 1: Appreciate you.
- 52:05Speaker 14: Thank you very much.
- 52:06Speaker 1: Take care. As we say goodnight, what's today? Today is
- 52:12Speaker 1: Columbus Day. That's what it's called, Columbus Day. It's one of,
- 52:17Speaker 1: I think, our most special days in this nation and
- 52:20Speaker 1: the history of the West. And I can say that.
- 52:25Speaker 1: And I'm fine with calling it Columbus Day and not
- 52:27Speaker 1: changing the name. And I say that because my father
- 52:30Speaker 1: has Native American roots. My mother has Sicilian roots. So
- 52:35Speaker 1: I think being an Italian and being a Native American,
- 52:38Speaker 1: I can actually chime in on this one. And guess what?
- 52:42Speaker 1: It's Columbus Day, not Indigenous People Day. We're not going
- 52:45Speaker 1: to act like it's a bad day. We're not going
- 52:47Speaker 1: to go back and discuss what happened hundreds of years
- 52:49Speaker 1: ago and say that somebody today should be paying for that.
- 52:52Speaker 11: No.
- 52:53Speaker 1: Let's just read what President Trump put up on Truth Social.
- 52:57Speaker 1: Shall we? Happy Columbus Day to all, especially Italians.
- 53:03Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 53:04Speaker 1: And then he tore to the radical left a little
- 53:05Speaker 1: bit for trying to tarnish the reputation of Columbus, which
- 53:08Speaker 1: I appreciate. So, Mr. President. Thanks for reminding everybody today
- 53:12Speaker 1: is Columbus Day, that he was a brave soul, that
- 53:15Speaker 1: he helped to discover part of the land that we're
- 53:18Speaker 1: all on, and I've got no problem with it. So
- 53:20Speaker 1: thank you, 47. Thank you, Mr. Columbus. And thank you
- 53:23Speaker 1: to all the hardworking Italians and Sicilians out there that
- 53:26Speaker 1: have made America the place it is today, because you
- 53:29Speaker 1: wouldn't have a United States of America without Italian Americans.
- 53:35Speaker 1: And with that, we say goodbye. Give them the information, Chris.
- 53:39Speaker 1: You want to get a hold of me? Here's the
- 53:40Speaker 1: best way to do it. RealAmerica at OANN.com. We're back
- 53:44Speaker 1: tomorrow night, 8 Eastern, 5 Pacific. Until then, you all
- 53:47Speaker 1: know what to do. Be proud Americans today on this
- 53:50Speaker 1: Columbus Day. Be brave. There's a lot of crazies out there.
- 53:54Speaker 1: And God bless you all. Good night. For all of
- 54:00Speaker 1: our viewers out there asking where to watch One America News,
- 54:03Speaker 1: we'd like to introduce you to OAN Live. OAN Live
- 54:06Speaker 1: is the best way to stay up to date on
