TONIGHT, THE WAR WITH IRAN TONIGHT, THE WAR WITH IRAN
2
00:00:12.720 --> 00:00:16.379
JUST EXPLODED. IRAN ATTACKED SHIPS IN THE STRAIT OF HORMOOSE
3
00:00:16.899 --> 00:00:19.460
AND THE PRESIDENT ANSWERED WITH A BRAND-NEW POLICY. HE'S CALLING

00:00:19.699 --> 00:00:22.750
TANKER FOR TANKER. WE'LL TAKE YOU INSIDE THE STRIKES AND
5
00:00:22.789 --> 00:00:26.250
WE LAUNCH WEAPONIZATION WEDNESDAY TONIGHT WITH THE STORY OF A

DECORATED COMBAT VETERAN THE GOVERNMENT SENT TO FEDERAL PRISON FOR
7
00:00:29.829 --> 00:00:33.469
HELPING OTHER VETERANS. JEREMY HAROLD IN HIS OWN WORDS TONIGHT.
8
00:00:33.869 --> 00:00:41.359
BUT FIRST, THE JURY IN THE For the fifth day,
9
00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:45.359
12 people in Plymouth, Massachusetts, have been unable to agree
10
00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:48.619
on whether the mother who strangled her three children is
11
00:00:48.659 --> 00:00:53.060
criminally responsible for it. And twice now, they've told the
12
00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:58.929
judge flatly that they're deadlocked, can't reach a unanimous decision.
13
00:00:59.909 --> 00:01:02.490
But tonight, I don't want to talk about the trial itself.
14
00:01:03.250 --> 00:01:05.989
I want to talk about what has grown outside of
15
00:01:06.030 --> 00:01:11.170
the trial. and the far more dangerous question sitting underneath
16
00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:16.469
this entire case. Because something disturbing has taken root around
17
00:01:16.510 --> 00:01:19.629
Lindsay Clancy. We've been talking about it. For weeks, crowds
18
00:01:19.730 --> 00:01:24.109
of women dressed head to toe in pink have rallied
19
00:01:24.230 --> 00:01:28.310
outside that courthouse not to mourn Cora and Dawson and
20
00:01:28.349 --> 00:01:31.629
baby Callan, the three children who are dead, thanks to
21
00:01:31.689 --> 00:01:35.560
Lindsay Clancy, by the way, but to celebrate and support
22
00:01:36.579 --> 00:01:40.939
THE WOMAN WHO KILLED THEM. YESTERDAY, IT WENT FURTHER ON TUESDAY,
23
00:01:41.180 --> 00:01:45.659
A 56-YEAR-OLD WOMAN NAMED DAWN LIGHT, A CLANCY SUPPORTER, SHE
24
00:01:45.700 --> 00:01:48.579
WAS ARRESTED OUTSIDE THAT COURTHOUSE AND CHARGED WITH A FELONY
25
00:01:48.900 --> 00:01:51.939
AFTER POLICE CONFIRMED SHE WAS CAUGHT ON HER OWN PHONE
26
00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:55.739
FILMING THE JURORS AS THEY LEFT. SHE TOLD THE OFFICERS
27
00:01:55.780 --> 00:01:59.200
SHE WAS JUST THERE TO SEE CLANCY. THAT IS WHERE
28
00:01:59.219 --> 00:02:06.980
THE DEVOTION TO THIS WOMAN HAS GONE. Now, my guest tonight,
29
00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:09.800
Kayla Bennett, she went out and spoke to some of
30
00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:12.560
these people directly in St. Petersburg, Florida. You know, the
31
00:02:12.620 --> 00:02:15.990
ones rallying for Lindsey Clancy. And she asked them what
32
00:02:16.030 --> 00:02:20.330
they actually believe about this case and what they told her. Well,
33
00:02:20.349 --> 00:02:20.969
it's hard

to hear.
34
00:02:21.030 --> 00:02:21.210
Look.
35
00:02:21.750 --> 00:02:23.449
Do you stand with her, yes or no?
36
00:02:23.610 --> 00:02:24.449
I don't think she did it.
37
00:02:24.650 --> 00:02:24.969
Yes.
38
00:02:25.150 --> 00:02:27.979
We feel she's very sleep deprived. Her job as a
39
00:02:28.020 --> 00:02:30.819
labor and delivery nurse working night shifts and three children
40
00:02:30.939 --> 00:02:33.219
is a lot. Do you have children?
41
00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:33.520
Yes.
42
00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:35.550
Would you ever hurt them? Yes and no.
43
00:02:35.909 --> 00:02:38.729
As a mom or as a dad, I think that.
44
00:02:39.250 --> 00:02:40.169
You are not perfect.
45
00:02:40.289 --> 00:02:42.750
So what are the consequences she should face for this?
46
00:02:43.009 --> 00:02:45.120
Obviously, she's already in a wheelchair.
47
00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:46.979
He should go to jail for negligence.
48
00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:50.360
He needs to take care of his kids, and that
49
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:51.639
was his responsibility.
50
00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:56.159
It would be funny if it wasn't so terrifying. They
51
00:02:56.219 --> 00:02:59.659
don't want her to be accountable, essentially. It wasn't her fault.
52
00:03:00.139 --> 00:03:03.460
Her punishment, she's in a wheelchair. Some woman said she
53
00:03:03.500 --> 00:03:08.990
didn't even do it. How society chooses... AND I THINK
54
00:03:09.009 --> 00:03:10.650
IT'S A GREAT QUESTION TO ANSWER THE QUESTION ABOUT WHAT
55
00:03:10.710 --> 00:03:15.490
SHOULD HAPPEN TO LINDSEY CLANCY. IT HAS WAY MORE TO
56
00:03:15.530 --> 00:03:18.250
DO THAN WITH A PARENT WHO KILLS HER CHILD. IT
57
00:03:18.289 --> 00:03:21.610
TELLS YOU EVERYTHING ABOUT WHAT SOCIETY BELIEVES A CHILD'S LIFE
58
00:03:21.949 --> 00:03:25.770
IS WORTH. THAT IS THE QUESTION THIS CASE IS REALLY ABOUT.
59
00:03:25.830 --> 00:03:28.669
NOT WHETHER LINDSEY CLANCY KILLED HER CHILDREN. SHE DID. NO
60
00:03:28.750 --> 00:03:31.840
ONE DISPUTES IT. NOT EVEN HER. THE QUESTION IS WHETHER
61
00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:39.110
A MOTHER CAN END THREE SMALL LIVES AND Walk out
62
00:03:39.150 --> 00:03:42.860
of that courtroom with no consequences at all. The moment
63
00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:45.599
we allow a diagnosis to become some sort of a
64
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:51.520
get-out-of-jail-free card, the moment sick becomes a complete and total
65
00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:58.169
defense to strangling your children, we've lost something. And I
66
00:03:58.210 --> 00:04:02.949
can't even imagine where this would go next. A child's
67
00:04:03.009 --> 00:04:07.719
life isn't negotiable. There's no asterisk on murder if the
68
00:04:07.780 --> 00:04:10.539
victim is small enough and the community is sympathetic enough.
69
00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:16.079
That's a precedent no decent society can afford to set.
70
00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:20.639
The women in pink outside this courthouse are watching how
71
00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:25.279
this ends. And so is every troubled mother in America
72
00:04:25.980 --> 00:04:30.040
standing at that same very edge. Joining me now is
73
00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:33.899
Caitlin Bennett, conservative YouTuber, co-founder of the Liberty Hangout. Thank
74
00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:35.639
you so much for being here, Caitlin. I know we
75
00:04:35.660 --> 00:04:38.420
make fun of those people out there saying ridiculous things,
76
00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:42.009
but this is not funny at all. It's serious because,
77
00:04:43.730 --> 00:04:46.709
you know, women are suffering all the time, and they
78
00:04:46.730 --> 00:04:48.470
do have a really hard job. You as a mother
79
00:04:48.529 --> 00:04:51.389
know it. But women don't kill their kids, not as
80
00:04:51.509 --> 00:04:54.329
regularly as you would believe if you watched the TV lately.
81
00:04:55.480 --> 00:04:57.990
Are we trying to normalize this? What is going on?
82
00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:02.040
Well, you know, I almost didn't talk about this topic
83
00:05:02.100 --> 00:05:04.439
when I went out in St. Pete over the weekend
84
00:05:04.939 --> 00:05:08.029
because I'm pregnant with my third. And it just feels
85
00:05:08.089 --> 00:05:10.569
really close to home for me to be talking about
86
00:05:11.089 --> 00:05:13.790
a mother killing her children and hearing people justify it
87
00:05:13.850 --> 00:05:15.889
to my face. I almost was like, I can't talk
88
00:05:15.930 --> 00:05:18.970
about this. But I decided that the first video back
89
00:05:19.029 --> 00:05:22.680
since I've been pregnant and had a very rough first trimester,
90
00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:25.040
I had to talk about it. I had to confront
91
00:05:25.069 --> 00:05:29.019
these people and I had to say, you're insane, you're crazy,
92
00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:31.360
and most of the people I talk to should be
93
00:05:31.420 --> 00:05:34.300
on a watch list because they just think that it's
94
00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:36.720
okay to murder children if your hormones are out of
95
00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:41.680
whack or if you are experiencing a hard time postpartum.
96
00:05:41.899 --> 00:05:45.079
All women do, it's not easy. but we don't kill
97
00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:47.639
our kids. And I don't care if she was mentally ill,
98
00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:49.319
she should be in a jail cell for the rest
99
00:05:49.350 --> 00:05:49.769
of her life.
100
00:05:50.310 --> 00:05:52.550
Yeah, I mean, and that has to be the consequence.
101
00:05:52.910 --> 00:05:55.350
I mean, you can have sympathy for her. AND SAY, OH,
102
00:05:55.370 --> 00:05:58.389
THAT REALLY SUCKS. YOU KNOW, SHE ACTED UPON SOME REALLY
103
00:05:58.430 --> 00:06:01.509
TERRIBLE FEELINGS. SHE KILLED HER KIDS. AND NOW SHE'S GOING
104
00:06:01.529 --> 00:06:03.709
TO JAIL. AND THERE'S TWO VICTIMS HERE, RIGHT? BECAUSE THE MOTHER,
105
00:06:04.050 --> 00:06:08.149
IF SHE SOMEHOW IS LESS PSYCHO SOMEDAY, SHE'LL MOURN HER CHILDREN, HOPEFULLY.
106
00:06:09.509 --> 00:06:12.129
BUT THE
CHILDREN'S LIVES ARE OVER AS WELL. THERE IS
107
00:06:12.189 --> 00:06:15.939
NO WINNERS HERE. ALL LOSERS. BUT THAT BEING SAID, THERE
108
00:06:15.980 --> 00:06:18.560
NEEDS TO BE A CONSEQUENCE. BECAUSE WHAT'S STOPPING THE NEXT
109
00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:20.899
I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T KNOW.
110
00:06:20.939 --> 00:06:21.259
I DON'T KNOW.
111
00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:25.120
I'M FEELING A LITTLE CRAZY. IT JUST CANNOT BE THE STANDARD.
112
00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:27.759
WE CAN'T BE SYMPATHETIC FOR PEOPLE WHO KILL THEIR KIDS.
113
00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:30.300
THIS CAN'T BE WHERE WE'RE GOING AS A NATION. IN
114
00:06:30.339 --> 00:06:33.490
STATES LIKE MASSACHUSETTS WHO ALLOW ABORTION UP TO BIRTH, IF
115
00:06:33.529 --> 00:06:35.949
THIS CASE GOES THE WAY IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S GOING,
116
00:06:36.430 --> 00:06:40.110
THEY'RE GOING TO ALLOW ABORTION UP UNTIL WHAT, 18?
117
00:06:41.550 --> 00:06:44.209
Yeah, I might be a little more aggressive in this.
118
00:06:44.449 --> 00:06:47.970
It might be my pregnancy hormones, but I genuinely, I
119
00:06:48.029 --> 00:06:51.170
don't have any sympathy for her. Whatever was going on
120
00:06:51.209 --> 00:06:55.230
with her before this happened, my sympathy for her ended
121
00:06:55.430 --> 00:06:58.610
when she took those bands and strangled the first child.
122
00:06:59.189 --> 00:07:01.930
And so whatever she was going through before.
123
00:07:01.649 --> 00:07:05.370
She did that, I genuinely do not care.
124
00:07:05.389 --> 00:07:06.310
I don't care.
125
00:07:07.399 --> 00:07:10.250
I can't even express how much I don't care because
126
00:07:10.290 --> 00:07:12.980
the sympathy ends when she takes the life of her
127
00:07:13.060 --> 00:07:13.660
own children.
128
00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:14.379
And she.
129
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:18.040
reached out for help. She wouldn't stick on a plan
130
00:07:18.079 --> 00:07:21.579
with her doctor. She jumped around from medicine to medicine.
131
00:07:21.779 --> 00:07:23.500
It almost looks as if she was trying to keep
132
00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:27.110
her paper trail of how saying these medicines weren't working
133
00:07:27.149 --> 00:07:28.930
and she wanted a different medicine and she had to.
134
00:07:28.930 --> 00:07:30.149
Go to all these doctors.
135
00:07:30.529 --> 00:07:33.430
That's quite convenient. But the only time she heard a
136
00:07:33.490 --> 00:07:36.389
voice telling her to kill her children was that 18
137
00:07:36.389 --> 00:07:37.459
minute period and she.
138
00:07:37.399 --> 00:07:38.300
Never heard it before.
139
00:07:38.740 --> 00:07:41.899
She's never heard it after. Like how convenient is that?
140
00:07:42.339 --> 00:07:44.420
And so I don't care. I think she should be
141
00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:48.600
put into solitary confinement in her wheelchair and a diaper
142
00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:52.000
and given like maybe a grilled cheese once a day.
143
00:07:52.019 --> 00:07:53.139
That's what she deserves.
144
00:07:53.620 --> 00:07:56.290
Yeah, I mean, it is the most horrific story when
145
00:07:56.310 --> 00:07:57.870
you start hearing the facts of the case and you
146
00:07:57.889 --> 00:08:00.610
see the pictures of those babies and it's like, I'm
147
00:08:00.649 --> 00:08:04.350
a dad. I could never in a million years imagine
148
00:08:04.430 --> 00:08:08.209
harming one of my own children or even imagining for
149
00:08:08.230 --> 00:08:10.879
a second my wife harming one of our own children.
150
00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:14.360
This just doesn't happen. And it wouldn't even be it
151
00:08:14.420 --> 00:08:16.360
wouldn't even be a discussion if we didn't live in
152
00:08:16.420 --> 00:08:19.300
such a twisted time where the left. And I do
153
00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:21.139
believe those women standing up there in pink. I have
154
00:08:21.160 --> 00:08:23.730
to believe they're leftists because we live in this time
155
00:08:23.790 --> 00:08:26.750
where it's almost like they want to celebrate women. the
156
00:08:26.829 --> 00:08:29.189
death of children. Now, look, you walked around with those
157
00:08:29.250 --> 00:08:30.050
ladies in St.
158
00:08:30.089 --> 00:08:30.269
Pete.
159
00:08:30.290 --> 00:08:31.930
You've talked to them before about all kinds of things.
160
00:08:32.490 --> 00:08:35.230
But what do you think is going through their heads?
161
00:08:35.330 --> 00:08:37.750
Are they crazy or are they just so indoctrinated by
162
00:08:38.090 --> 00:08:40.870
evil leftist propaganda that they just don't think for themselves anymore?
163
00:08:42.029 --> 00:08:44.389
Well, I think I have a different opinion, actually, when
164
00:08:44.429 --> 00:08:47.720
it comes to the political atmosphere around this. I don't
165
00:08:48.019 --> 00:08:51.299
genuinely think that it's a right versus left issue. I
166
00:08:51.350 --> 00:08:54.210
think it's a woman issue because there are even women
167
00:08:54.570 --> 00:08:58.289
on the conservative side in my comment section and my DMs.
168
00:08:58.350 --> 00:09:01.629
I see them in my friends' comment section saying, like,
169
00:09:01.649 --> 00:09:03.370
I'm going to unfollow you. I can't believe how many
170
00:09:03.409 --> 00:09:06.929
conservatives are falling for this. I genuinely think this is
171
00:09:06.990 --> 00:09:11.029
a woman problem. And I have always loosely supported repealing
172
00:09:11.070 --> 00:09:13.250
the 19th Amendment. And that's not me trying to be
173
00:09:13.340 --> 00:09:16.960
based or me being edgy. I've always loosely supported it
174
00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:20.879
for election reasons and politics. just, you know, political advantages
175
00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:25.740
for Republicans. This solidifies that I genuinely do not think
176
00:09:25.879 --> 00:09:30.379
women in this country should bear the responsibility of choosing
177
00:09:30.730 --> 00:09:34.429
politicians or policies or laws in their communities. They cannot
178
00:09:34.470 --> 00:09:36.710
be trusted right now. I
think we need to take
179
00:09:36.750 --> 00:09:39.789
that away from them, give them some time to work
180
00:09:39.850 --> 00:09:42.840
on themselves, and then we'll see if they can earn
181
00:09:42.879 --> 00:09:45.600
that privilege back because they do not deserve it.
182
00:09:46.710 --> 00:09:48.360
Listen, I'm going to let you say that as a guy.
183
00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:50.279
I'm just going to sit here and say, yeah, yeah,
184
00:09:50.299 --> 00:09:52.980
that sounds great. Caitlin Bennett.
185
00:09:53.159 --> 00:09:56.830
Well, David, let me ask you a question real quick.
186
00:09:56.909 --> 00:09:57.169
Please.
187
00:09:57.490 --> 00:10:00.240
What if someone hurt your kids and then you. got
188
00:10:00.340 --> 00:10:04.090
blamed for it on TikTok and then all these strangers
189
00:10:04.169 --> 00:10:06.970
started saying that you were the one that hurt your kids?
190
00:10:07.049 --> 00:10:07.330
Oh, yeah.
191
00:10:07.629 --> 00:10:09.320
How crazy would that be? I.
192
00:10:10.799 --> 00:10:14.679
I can't even engage in an exercise where I imagine
193
00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:18.200
something like that because it's just so horrific. And, yeah, no,
194
00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:22.279
it's all insane. This whole thing, this whole media attention
195
00:10:22.340 --> 00:10:25.080
on this case and the way it's being covered is
196
00:10:25.100 --> 00:10:27.659
just so insane and is just such a symptom of
197
00:10:27.700 --> 00:10:31.799
the broken times we live in. And it's just heartbreaking.
198
00:10:32.350 --> 00:10:33.950
I agree with you. I have no sympathy for this lady.
199
00:10:34.309 --> 00:10:36.090
I try to say I'm sympathetic because I don't want
200
00:10:36.129 --> 00:10:38.549
women mad at me. But, hey, I'm using you. You
201
00:10:38.570 --> 00:10:40.480
said it's okay to hate her. I hate her.
202
00:10:41.909 --> 00:10:43.350
Yeah, you can have my woman card.
203
00:10:43.590 --> 00:10:45.840
Yes, thank you for your woman card. I appreciate it.
204
00:10:46.570 --> 00:10:49.779
Caitlin says it's okay, everybody. Women, don't send me angry emails.
205
00:10:50.139 --> 00:10:52.320
Caitlin Bennett, thank you so much for being here as always.
206
00:10:52.379 --> 00:10:55.019
Great work. Thanks, David. And congratulations on the new baby.
207
00:10:55.769 --> 00:10:56.190
Thank you.
208
00:10:57.750 --> 00:11:00.809
Still ahead tonight, the House is back and it just
209
00:11:00.950 --> 00:11:05.830
averted a government shutdown weeks early. Oversight Chairman James Comer
210
00:11:05.970 --> 00:11:08.990
joins me on what's next and what his committee is
211
00:11:09.049 --> 00:11:12.649
digging into. Then the Iran war escalates fast. Iran hits
212
00:11:12.690 --> 00:11:17.830
our ships and Trump hits back harder. And it's weaponization Wednesday.
213
00:11:17.870 --> 00:11:19.769
I told you about it on Monday. Tonight, we have
214
00:11:19.809 --> 00:11:23.370
combat veteran who was in prison for helping his fellow soldiers.
215
00:11:23.610 --> 00:11:24.970
You're going to want to hear that. Stick around.
216
00:11:32.590 --> 00:11:34.389

226
00:12:08.990 --> 00:12:12.429
The House of Representatives came back to Washington on Monday
227
00:12:12.490 --> 00:12:17.529
after a five-week summer recess, and this Republican-led Congress immediately
228
00:12:17.590 --> 00:12:20.250
got back to work yesterday, weeks ahead of the deadline.
229
00:12:20.610 --> 00:12:23.110
The House passed a bill to keep the federal government
230
00:12:23.230 --> 00:12:25.809
open and funded, and it did it without the usual
231
00:12:25.909 --> 00:12:31.149
Democrat-led shutdown circus. Republicans were smart to act fast, and
232
00:12:31.169 --> 00:12:33.529
I think they probably caught the Democrats sleeping on this one.
233
00:12:34.029 --> 00:12:36.110
In fact, there was no drama at all. The vote
234
00:12:36.149 --> 00:12:40.289
was 370 to 48, a blowout, with members of both
235
00:12:40.340 --> 00:12:43.259
parties on board. That doesn't happen very often. The bill
236
00:12:43.299 --> 00:12:47.179
holds government funding steady straight through December 11th, which pushes
237
00:12:47.220 --> 00:12:51.360
the entire spending fight safely past the November elections, which
238
00:12:51.419 --> 00:12:54.690
we need. And because the Senate had already passed the
239
00:12:54.730 --> 00:12:57.009
very same measure back in August, this thing now heads
240
00:12:57.370 --> 00:13:00.350
straight to the president's desk where he's expected to sign it. Now,
241
00:13:00.610 --> 00:13:02.399
keeping the lights on was the easy part. The hard
242
00:13:02.419 --> 00:13:05.299
part is still ahead. The clock is merciless. The House
243
00:13:05.340 --> 00:13:07.279
is in town for only a handful of days this
244
00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:09.169
week and then gone until the middle of the month.
245
00:13:09.769 --> 00:13:12.549
which leaves them just about three weeks in session before
246
00:13:12.649 --> 00:13:15.909
Election Day to handle everything else on the table, the
247
00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:18.700
full-year budget, where the House has passed three of its
248
00:13:18.700 --> 00:13:21.519
12
spending bills, and the Senate has passed, well, you
249
00:13:21.539 --> 00:13:25.600
know what's happening in the Senate, zero, nada, nothing done. Plus,
250
00:13:25.620 --> 00:13:28.100
we have surveillance powers up for renewal, the rules for
251
00:13:28.340 --> 00:13:33.320
digital currency, election security, all of it. But funding the government,
252
00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:35.519
that's only half of what this House does. The other
253
00:13:35.559 --> 00:13:39.279
half is holding the government accountable. No committee does more
254
00:13:39.299 --> 00:13:41.590
of that than the Oversight Committee, the one they call
255
00:13:41.610 --> 00:13:44.190
the committee that never sleeps. And just this week, while
256
00:13:44.230 --> 00:13:47.269
everyone was watching the funding fight, that committee was hauling
257
00:13:47.309 --> 00:13:50.769
in witnesses on birth tourism, where the racket that you've
258
00:13:50.789 --> 00:13:53.549
seen where foreigners fly here, they have a baby and
259
00:13:53.590 --> 00:13:56.639
walk away with an American citizenship. IT'S NOT JUST THE
260
00:13:56.659 --> 00:13:59.220
BIDEN ADMINISTRATION. IT WAS TRACKING DOWN HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF
261
00:13:59.279 --> 00:14:04.539
MIGRANT CHILDREN AND THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION SIMPLY LOST. LOST. AND
262
00:14:04.559 --> 00:14:06.980
THE MAN WHO RUNS THIS COMMITTEE AT THE CENTER OF
263
00:14:07.059 --> 00:14:09.940
NEARLY EVERY ONE OF THOSE INVESTIGATIONS JOINS ME NOW WITH
264
00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:16.679
A REACTION IS CHAIRMAN JAMES Congressman, welcome to the show.
265
00:14:17.990 --> 00:14:21.210
Busy week. The House has done its job. I keep
266
00:14:21.250 --> 00:14:24.289
saying this over and over again because in this midterm election,
267
00:14:24.769 --> 00:14:26.769
we have to keep the House. It's the most important
268
00:14:26.809 --> 00:14:30.129
thing we do because everything else rides on that keeping
269
00:14:30.149 --> 00:14:32.700
the Republican majority in the House. And I'm going to
270
00:14:32.740 --> 00:14:34.399
say it every day. You guys are doing an amazing
271
00:14:34.419 --> 00:14:36.320
job passing everything to the Senate you need to do.
272
00:14:36.659 --> 00:14:39.399
Now you've avoided another shutdown fight. How was your first
273
00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:39.799
week back?
274
00:14:41.220 --> 00:14:43.700
This was a good week in the House. We actually
275
00:14:43.740 --> 00:14:47.340
got a lot accomplished. It was helpful that the Senate
276
00:14:47.379 --> 00:14:50.379
finally passed a bill in the continuing resolution, so we
277
00:14:50.419 --> 00:14:54.059
passed it. Sometimes people complain about continuing resolutions, but they
278
00:14:54.100 --> 00:14:56.450
hold spending flat, and that's good.
279
00:14:56.470 --> 00:14:59.429
I would love to cut spending. We need to cut spending.
280
00:14:59.490 --> 00:15:01.429
But if the Democrats are in the majority, they're going
281
00:15:01.450 --> 00:15:04.370
to significantly increase spending, and the debt's going to continue
282
00:15:04.409 --> 00:15:06.809
to skyrocket at an even faster pace.
283
00:15:06.850 --> 00:15:09.690
So that's one reason to keep the Republicans in the majority.
284
00:15:09.730 --> 00:15:13.820
The second reason— is that on my committee, we're focused
285
00:15:13.899 --> 00:15:16.419
on waste, fraud, abuse, and mismanagement in the federal government.
286
00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:19.620
We're working closely with J.D. Vance's Task Force on Fraud.
287
00:15:19.980 --> 00:15:22.799
We're working closely with our new Attorney General, Todd Blanch,
288
00:15:22.840 --> 00:15:25.940
who has really cranked it up a bunch of notches
289
00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:28.460
as far as going after people and holding them accountable
290
00:15:28.500 --> 00:15:32.370
for committing fraud. So I think we're really making progress
291
00:15:32.490 --> 00:15:35.809
on First of all, getting people kicked off the government
292
00:15:35.889 --> 00:15:40.370
payrolls who have been fraudulently billing Medicare, Medicaid.
293
00:15:40.809 --> 00:15:42.850
SNAP, all the different social programs.
294
00:15:43.110 --> 00:15:47.320
But secondly, finally, with the new attorney general, holding people accountable,
295
00:15:47.360 --> 00:15:48.860
getting people prosecuted.
296
00:15:48.899 --> 00:15:49.279
And J.D.
297
00:15:49.320 --> 00:15:52.960
Vance is doing a great job of that in Minnesota, California,
298
00:15:52.980 --> 00:15:53.980
and now in Ohio.
299
00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:55.779
So hopefully we can continue to spread that. But if the.
300
00:15:55.740 --> 00:15:58.539
Democrats gain control of the House, they're going to drop
301
00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:03.769
every investigation into welfare fraud. And just focus everything on
302
00:16:03.929 --> 00:16:07.820
going after Donald Trump and impeaching him a third, fourth, fifth,
303
00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:08.399
sixth time.
304
00:16:09.179 --> 00:16:12.000
I'm so glad you brought up the fraud because it's
305
00:16:12.039 --> 00:16:15.370
so insane to me how much fraud the vice president
306
00:16:15.389 --> 00:16:19.100
and your committee has uncovered. And the Democrats seem to
307
00:16:19.159 --> 00:16:22.470
want to do everything they can to protect those fraud systems.
308
00:16:22.490 --> 00:16:24.830
You would think in a state that's hurting for money,
309
00:16:25.450 --> 00:16:28.330
you find fraud, and then the government says, we're going
310
00:16:28.350 --> 00:16:30.129
to help get rid of this fraud. You'd think they'd
311
00:16:30.149 --> 00:16:31.669
be like, thank you, thank you. The money's going to
312
00:16:31.690 --> 00:16:33.649
go to the people who need it. But instead, these
313
00:16:33.669 --> 00:16:36.919
blue states are fighting any help whatsoever. They want to
314
00:16:36.960 --> 00:16:40.100
protect the fraud. And you're exactly right. If Democrats win,
315
00:16:40.519 --> 00:16:43.980
this fraud goes away, or
at least investigations go away,
316
00:16:45.019 --> 00:16:47.350
Tell me about how important it is that we root
317
00:16:47.389 --> 00:16:48.830
out this fraud and what it actually means to the
318
00:16:48.850 --> 00:16:52.840
American people who so seldomly hear how important it is
319
00:16:52.879 --> 00:16:54.669
for this money to go for the people who deserve it.
320
00:16:55.730 --> 00:16:59.620
Well, People on Medicare, they pay all their life to
321
00:16:59.960 --> 00:17:03.779
receive Medicare when they turn 65. There are people on
322
00:17:03.830 --> 00:17:06.430
Medicaid who are poor and have to have some type
323
00:17:06.470 --> 00:17:09.809
of government assistance. The more fraud that happens, the harder
324
00:17:09.829 --> 00:17:12.410
it's going to be to provide the services that the
325
00:17:12.630 --> 00:17:14.710
senior citizens who have done everything.
326
00:17:14.470 --> 00:17:16.710
Right, worked hard, and paid into Medicare are going to get.
327
00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:19.559
It's going to be harder to provide services for the
328
00:17:19.640 --> 00:17:23.059
people who are truly poor and truly needy. We've got
329
00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:27.519
fraud taking a significant bite out of Medicare, Medicaid, and
330
00:17:27.559 --> 00:17:31.029
our food programs that go to the children and things
331
00:17:31.049 --> 00:17:34.730
like that. That money, there's only a certain size of
332
00:17:34.769 --> 00:17:37.829
the pie. There's a big slice of that pie going
333
00:17:37.849 --> 00:17:40.380
to fraud. If we can eliminate the fraud, there's going
334
00:17:40.390 --> 00:17:43.140
to be more money for our hospitals.
335
00:17:42.700 --> 00:17:44.380
To provide Medicare and Medicaid services.
336
00:17:45.250 --> 00:17:50.230
Funded services to the sick, if that's cut because of
337
00:17:51.269 --> 00:17:54.849
too much spending, then that's going to affect everybody. And
338
00:17:54.890 --> 00:17:58.490
it's terrible for our senior citizens. The Democrats don't care
339
00:17:58.509 --> 00:18:00.690
about fraud. Anytime we uncover fraud, you know what the
340
00:18:00.730 --> 00:18:01.569
first thing they say is?
341
00:18:02.049 --> 00:18:03.190
Oh, they're cruel.
342
00:18:03.210 --> 00:18:04.970
They're going to cut off somebody. Or the second thing
343
00:18:04.990 --> 00:18:06.049
they say, oh, it's racist.
344
00:18:06.509 --> 00:18:07.190
It's racist.
345
00:18:08.009 --> 00:18:10.349
And they just play those cards.
346
00:18:11.150 --> 00:18:17.619
The Kentucky Democrat Party's harassing me every second because they say, oh,
347
00:18:17.690 --> 00:18:22.740
he's trying to hurt our Medicaid benefits and our welfare benefits.
348
00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:24.359
We're trying to eliminate fraud.
349
00:18:24.599 --> 00:18:27.250
And by the way, if you're receiving benefits and you
350
00:18:27.269 --> 00:18:29.210
look like me, you're somebody that can get up and
351
00:18:29.230 --> 00:18:32.970
go to work. then you don't deserve to get welfare benefit.
352
00:18:33.369 --> 00:18:35.710
That's what we're trying to eliminate. We're trying to get
353
00:18:35.809 --> 00:18:39.470
able-bodied men off the welfare rolls and into the workforce.
354
00:18:39.549 --> 00:18:42.470
We're trying to eliminate all the fraudsters, many of whom
355
00:18:42.579 --> 00:18:46.839
are foreign, who came across here during Biden's open border.
356
00:18:47.400 --> 00:18:50.440
We're trying to eliminate it and then trying to get
357
00:18:50.460 --> 00:18:53.400
them to prison if they don't flee the country and
358
00:18:53.420 --> 00:18:55.549
go back to where they came from. So we're making
359
00:18:55.589 --> 00:18:58.569
a lot of progress, and that's something that doesn't get
360
00:18:58.710 --> 00:19:03.140
much press. But I think that it's a given if
361
00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:05.380
the Democrats win, they're not going to go after fraud.
362
00:19:05.400 --> 00:19:06.500
They're just going to go after Trump.
363
00:19:06.819 --> 00:19:09.500
That's exactly right. That is the only thing they're interested
364
00:19:09.539 --> 00:19:12.559
in stopping. And speaking of stopping Trump, I mean, it
365
00:19:12.599 --> 00:19:15.150
might seem like a year ago because the recess came
366
00:19:15.190 --> 00:19:18.910
and went. Fauci's testifying in the Senate, pleading the fifth,
367
00:19:19.289 --> 00:19:23.029
not answering questions. Accountability needs to happen there. And plus,
368
00:19:23.069 --> 00:19:27.269
there's still some people that served under both Obama and
369
00:19:27.329 --> 00:19:30.480
Biden that were doing everything they can to weaponize the
370
00:19:30.519 --> 00:19:33.319
government to get Trump out. What is your, what's on
371
00:19:33.339 --> 00:19:36.099
the committee's agenda to kind of hold people accountable? Because
372
00:19:36.119 --> 00:19:38.319
that's what we keep hearing out there heading into the midterms. Like,
373
00:19:38.759 --> 00:19:41.039
we were promised that we'd hold these folks accountable and
374
00:19:41.059 --> 00:19:43.690
nobody's gone to jail. What good news can we give
375
00:19:43.710 --> 00:19:43.930
to them?
376
00:19:45.029 --> 00:19:47.089
Well, if I could put people in jail, I'd have
377
00:19:47.109 --> 00:19:48.809
a lot of people in jail and Fauci would.
378
00:19:48.589 --> 00:19:49.329
Be the first one.
379
00:19:49.809 --> 00:19:52.759
Unfortunately, we do the investigations, we do criminal referrals.
380
00:19:52.799 --> 00:19:58.220
We've done very successful, very accurate investigations on Dr.
381
00:19:58.259 --> 00:19:58.700
Fauci.
382
00:19:58.740 --> 00:19:59.859
We proved he lied.
383
00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:02.680
Rand Paul tried to get him in a year after
384
00:20:02.700 --> 00:20:06.480
our hearing with Dr. Fauci to ask him follow-up questions
385
00:20:06.799 --> 00:20:10.619
since his diary emerged. And he pled the fifth. But
386
00:20:10.900 --> 00:20:14.400
there's already
criminal referrals. We issued criminal referrals well over
387
00:20:14.440 --> 00:20:16.150
a year ago to the Department of Justice. They haven't
388
00:20:16.190 --> 00:20:18.650
done anything with them. Same with the Biden family, the
389
00:20:18.710 --> 00:20:22.569
entire family. The Department of Justice hasn't done anything with them.
390
00:20:22.609 --> 00:20:26.609
So there's honestly been a lot of frustration with us,
391
00:20:27.619 --> 00:20:30.299
with we on the Oversight Committee, with certain members of
392
00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:34.259
the Judiciary Committee, that the Department of Justice hasn't prosecuted
393
00:20:34.740 --> 00:20:39.789
the people that we've successfully investigated in Congress. Todd Blanch,
394
00:20:39.990 --> 00:20:43.009
I think, is going to change things. He's already ramped
395
00:20:43.109 --> 00:20:46.500
up the fraud. They prosecuted a lot of people in Minnesota.
396
00:20:47.160 --> 00:20:48.519
And I don't think a lot of people realize that.
397
00:20:48.559 --> 00:20:50.019
They say nobody's going to jail. There are a lot
398
00:20:50.039 --> 00:20:52.140
of people in jail in Minnesota right now. There are
399
00:20:52.160 --> 00:20:53.519
fixing to be a lot of people go to jail
400
00:20:53.559 --> 00:20:57.849
in California and Ohio for Medicaid fraud. And that's because J.D.
401
00:20:57.890 --> 00:21:01.369
Vance is doing his task force, too. So we're just
402
00:21:01.450 --> 00:21:05.240
now starting to see— the fruits of our labor. And
403
00:21:05.599 --> 00:21:08.819
hopefully we can continue to see that. I know Comey's
404
00:21:08.900 --> 00:21:12.160
in court, Eric Swalwell's in court. These are deep state
405
00:21:12.319 --> 00:21:14.819
actors that have been involved in a lot of mischief
406
00:21:14.880 --> 00:21:16.559
and have weaponized the federal government.
407
00:21:16.940 --> 00:21:18.839
So hopefully we're gonna see.
408
00:21:18.660 --> 00:21:23.150
More And I think that there's—I've been told there's going
409
00:21:23.170 --> 00:21:28.150
to be some January 6th news soon. So hopefully we're
410
00:21:28.250 --> 00:21:30.490
at the point we're going to see it. I'm hoping
411
00:21:30.549 --> 00:21:32.849
and pleading with the Department of Justice that this happens
412
00:21:32.930 --> 00:21:35.779
before the November elections, because I think that's one reason
413
00:21:35.799 --> 00:21:38.519
a lot of Republicans aren't as excited about this election
414
00:21:38.559 --> 00:21:42.700
year as Democrats, because they haven't seen people be prosecuted
415
00:21:42.740 --> 00:21:45.839
that they know have violated the law.
416
00:21:45.880 --> 00:21:47.359
So hopefully that's about to change.
417
00:21:47.970 --> 00:21:49.700
Chairman, I agree with you completely. I mean, we got
418
00:21:49.740 --> 00:21:51.660
to eliminate some of these frustrations. And I think there's
419
00:21:51.720 --> 00:21:54.359
fear involved, too, because if we don't keep the House
420
00:21:54.819 --> 00:21:58.200
this November, you know, those people who we hoped would
421
00:21:58.240 --> 00:22:00.960
be in jail for the weaponization, we're giving them back
422
00:22:00.980 --> 00:22:04.910
the keys and we're giving them back the powers of investigation.
423
00:22:04.930 --> 00:22:07.170
And we can't have that happen, which is why we
424
00:22:07.210 --> 00:22:09.289
need to act fast. And hopefully the new attorney general
425
00:22:09.309 --> 00:22:11.410
will do that. Chairman, thank you so much for all
426
00:22:11.430 --> 00:22:13.190
the hard work you're doing up there in Washington. And
427
00:22:13.230 --> 00:22:14.430
thank you so much for joining me on the show.
428
00:22:15.650 --> 00:22:16.390
Thanks for having me.
429
00:22:16.589 --> 00:22:21.619
It's a pleasure. Coming up, Iran attacked American ships in
430
00:22:21.640 --> 00:22:24.880
the Strait of Hormuz. So President Trump sank two of theirs.
431
00:22:25.200 --> 00:22:35.190

458
00:24:08.480 --> 00:24:11.700
Iran appears to be, I don't know, it's called sad
459
00:24:12.460 --> 00:24:15.180
that nobody's paying attention to the Strait of Hormuz anymore.
460
00:24:15.660 --> 00:24:18.079
And like a child desperate for attention, they decided to
461
00:24:18.099 --> 00:24:21.910
start attacking commercial tankers again. TANKER WAS HIT BY THREE
462
00:24:21.970 --> 00:24:25.079
PROJECTILES ON MONDAY, AND PRESIDENT TRUMP ANSWERED THEM WITH A
463
00:24:25.099 --> 00:24:28.160
BRAND-NEW POLICY. ONE OF HIS OWN OFFICIALS HAVE A NAME
464
00:24:28.200 --> 00:24:30.740
FOR IT. THEY CALL IT TANKER FOR TANKER. HERE'S WHAT
465
00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:33.220
THAT MEANS. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THIS ENTIRE WAR,
466
00:24:33.259 --> 00:24:37.339
AMERICAN FORCES STRUCK IRAN'S OWN TANKERS IN DIRECT RETALIATION FOR
467
00:24:37.420 --> 00:24:42.440
IRAN ATTACKING OURS, OUR ALLIES. OVERNIGHT, U.S. DRONES FOUND TWO
468
00:24:42.519 --> 00:24:46.339
IRANIAN GOVERNMENT TANKERS ANCHORED OFF THE IRANIAN COAST AND PUT
469
00:24:46.400 --> 00:24:51.180
MISSILES STRAIGHT INTO THEIR ENGINE ROOMS. We're just the beginning.
470
00:24:52.220 --> 00:24:56.970
All told, American forces hit roughly 100 targets across southern Iran.
471
00:24:56.990 --> 00:25:00.829
The Revolutionary Guard's radar installations, its air defenses, its mine
472
00:25:00.869 --> 00:25:05.240
laying operations, its anti-ship missile launchers. The entire apparatus Iran
473
00:25:05.259 --> 00:25:09.380
has been using to strangle that straight. One U.S. official
474
00:25:09.460 --> 00:25:12.440
summed up Iran's night in a single sentence. Well, they
475
00:25:12.460 --> 00:25:16.390
got nothing today. AROUND THE WORLD. AROUND THE WORLD. AROUND
476
00:25:16.450 --> 00:25:19.410
THE WORLD. AROUND THE WORLD. AROUND THE WORLD. AROUND THE WORLD.
477
00:25:19.430 --> 00:25:22.549
AROUND THE WORLD. AROUND THE WORLD. AROUND THE WORLD. AROUND
478
00:25:22.609 --> 00:25:25.829
THE WORLD. AROUND THE WORLD. AROUND THE WORLD. AROUND THE WORLD.
479
00:25:25.849 --> 00:25:28.670
AROUND THE WORLD. AROUND THE WORLD. AROUND THE WORLD. AROUND
480
00:25:28.690 --> 00:25:31.579
THE WORLD. AROUND THE WORLD. AROUND THE WORLD. AROUND THE WORLD.
481
00:25:31.619 --> 00:25:34.059
AROUND THE WORLD. AROUND THE WORLD. AROUND THE WORLD. AROUND
482
00:25:34.079 --> 00:25:35.940
THE WORLD. AROUND THE WORLD. AROUND THE WORLD. AROUND THE WORLD.
483
00:25:35.980 --> 00:25:38.599
AROUND THE WORLD. AROUND THE WORLD. AROUND THE WORLD. AROUND
484
00:25:38.619 --> 00:25:45.779
THE WORLD. AROUND THE WORLD. There were no American casualties
485
00:25:45.839 --> 00:25:49.740
at all. So the regime is claiming a massacre. Our allies,
486
00:25:49.839 --> 00:25:54.809
our own officials say Iran missed. Until the Pentagon confirms otherwise,
487
00:25:55.049 --> 00:25:58.450
that IRGC body count is propaganda, and we're going to
488
00:25:58.549 --> 00:26:01.829
treat it as propaganda. But I'm sure some American influencers
489
00:26:01.849 --> 00:26:04.690
will have no problem carrying that propaganda forward on social media.
490
00:26:05.750 --> 00:26:08.230
But let's look at the actual scoreboard. Iran can't keep
491
00:26:08.250 --> 00:26:11.319
the oil from flowing. This week, 17 million barrels moved
492
00:26:11.359 --> 00:26:13.740
through that strait in a single day, the most since
493
00:26:13.779 --> 00:26:16.599
the war began. And Iran can't keep its leverage because
494
00:26:16.619 --> 00:26:20.559
the president's treasury secretary just put the entire world on notice.
495
00:26:20.920 --> 00:26:21.259
Here he is.
496
00:26:22.119 --> 00:26:26.960
Today, at President Trump's direction, the United States Treasury has
497
00:26:27.019 --> 00:26:33.660
begun Operation Economic Outcast, an unprecedented campaign against the Islamic
498
00:26:33.960 --> 00:26:36.829
Republic of Iran and its enablers.
499
00:26:37.339 --> 00:26:39.980
Any bank, any company, anywhere on Earth that keeps propping
500
00:26:40.039 --> 00:26:43.230
up this regime gets locked out of the American dollar,
501
00:26:43.390 --> 00:26:46.849
the lifeblood of the global economy. Now, Iran, they can't
502
00:26:46.890 --> 00:26:49.690
even attack a ship without watching two of its own
503
00:26:49.730 --> 00:26:53.019
go up in flames in return. U.S. gas prices are falling.
504
00:26:53.210 --> 00:26:55.599
We made a historical deal with Venezuela. And it won't
505
00:26:55.619 --> 00:26:58.039
be long now before nobody even remembers where the Strait
506
00:26:58.099 --> 00:27:00.500
of Hormuz is on a map anymore, if it's even
507
00:27:00.519 --> 00:27:03.880
named that anymore, to break down where this goes from here,
508
00:27:04.460 --> 00:27:06.700
on the water, the markets. IT'S NOT JUST THE U.S.,
509
00:27:06.700 --> 00:27:08.170
IT'S THE UNITED STATES, IT'S THE UNITED STATES, WHEREVER IT GOES.
510
00:27:08.190 --> 00:27:11.170
STEFANO RITTENDALE, CHIEF INTELLIGENCE OFFICER AT ATTORIUS, WELCOME BACK TO
511
00:27:11.210 --> 00:27:14.089
DAVID POLIT, PRIME TIME. I KNOW PEOPLE ARE GETTING TIRED
512
00:27:14.109 --> 00:27:15.569
OF THIS WAR. A LOT OF PEOPLE WANT IT OVER.
513
00:27:15.910 --> 00:27:17.910
THE REASON PEOPLE WANT IT OVER MOSTLY IS BECAUSE OF
514
00:27:17.970 --> 00:27:20.769
GAS PRICES. GAS PRICES SEEM TO BE DROPPING IN SPITE
515
00:27:20.809 --> 00:27:23.799
OF THIS NEW WAVE OF ATTACKS. IT SEEMS IRAN, AND
516
00:27:23.839 --> 00:27:25.880
MAYBE I'M SETTING THIS UP WRONG, BUT IT SEEMS IRAN
517
00:27:25.920 --> 00:27:27.859
WAS LIKE, HEY, I DON'T LIKE THE WAY THIS IS GOING.
518
00:27:28.119 --> 00:27:30.200
THEY
STARTED TRYING TO LAY MINES AGAIN IN THIS STRAIGHT.
519
00:27:30.519 --> 00:27:36.920
THE UNITED STATES SAYS, NO, It just seems Iran wants
520
00:27:36.960 --> 00:27:39.680
to make gas prices expensive. They think that's leverage going
521
00:27:39.700 --> 00:27:41.299
into the midterms. And I don't think I don't think
522
00:27:41.339 --> 00:27:42.900
it's going to be as effective as it once was.
523
00:27:43.160 --> 00:27:44.710
Am I setting this up wrong or am I seeing
524
00:27:44.730 --> 00:27:46.549
it the right way? Stefano, you're the expert. You tell me.
525
00:27:47.549 --> 00:27:50.349
Well, first, David, thank you so much for having me. Look, obviously,
526
00:27:50.390 --> 00:27:53.529
the Iranian calculus and decision making process and all this
527
00:27:53.730 --> 00:27:57.349
is to cause economic pain globally into the United States
528
00:27:57.369 --> 00:28:00.089
specifically as to as in a way to influence the U.S.
529
00:28:00.130 --> 00:28:00.829
Administration.
530
00:28:01.410 --> 00:28:03.859
This is also from a nonpolitical and a political perspective,
531
00:28:03.900 --> 00:28:05.819
and they might be looking at the midterms as a
532
00:28:06.640 --> 00:28:09.460
key benchmark to see how much they can put pressure.
533
00:28:09.769 --> 00:28:12.009
I would just say, regardless of which political party wins
534
00:28:12.049 --> 00:28:13.690
in the United States, and that's up to the American
535
00:28:13.710 --> 00:28:17.210
people for whatever reason they decide to vote. The new
536
00:28:17.279 --> 00:28:20.539
Congress doesn't come in into January, and clearly the president
537
00:28:20.579 --> 00:28:22.519
still is the commander-in-chief, and he still has a lot
538
00:28:22.559 --> 00:28:25.960
of influence and say. And the instability, this idea that
539
00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:27.740
even if there's a Democratic Congress, that they're just going
540
00:28:27.759 --> 00:28:30.650
to willy-nilly allow Iran to have an absolute control of
541
00:28:30.660 --> 00:28:32.910
the Straits of Hormuz or violate one of the core
542
00:28:32.970 --> 00:28:35.910
principles of international law. which is the free flow of
543
00:28:36.049 --> 00:28:39.170
goods across international waters, is absurd. I think Iran is
544
00:28:39.210 --> 00:28:41.549
trying to look at this as the only leverage they have.
545
00:28:41.829 --> 00:28:43.930
They're trying to maximize it. But as you alluded to
546
00:28:43.970 --> 00:28:46.809
and pointed out, the longer this drags out, the less
547
00:28:46.930 --> 00:28:49.109
influence they're actually having in the Straits of Hormuz and
548
00:28:49.170 --> 00:28:51.859
more and more of their capabilities degraded while the economic
549
00:28:51.890 --> 00:28:56.420
costs in Iran continues to increase, if not drastically worsen
550
00:28:56.460 --> 00:28:56.900
by the day.
551
00:28:57.799 --> 00:29:00.640
So how long does this go for at this point?
552
00:29:00.880 --> 00:29:03.670
I mean— How long can they survive? I mean, I
553
00:29:03.670 --> 00:29:07.279
know China is probably resupplying and China is probably meddling
554
00:29:07.319 --> 00:29:10.059
behind the scenes because, well, their energy pipeline is starting
555
00:29:10.099 --> 00:29:12.160
to narrow now that Venezuela has this deal with the
556
00:29:12.220 --> 00:29:15.200
United States. How long do you think this goes?
557
00:29:16.519 --> 00:29:18.960
Well, I mean, it's interesting because the Chinese government has
558
00:29:19.019 --> 00:29:21.799
actually released statements saying, look, Iran, we're not going to
559
00:29:21.859 --> 00:29:24.619
tolerate this issue of the Strait of Hormuz being closed
560
00:29:24.660 --> 00:29:28.799
indefinitely or your actions there. They've actually released a statement saying, look,
561
00:29:28.839 --> 00:29:30.900
we want you to fix not only your issues with
562
00:29:30.940 --> 00:29:34.250
the United States, but also Saudi Arabia. China is also
563
00:29:34.289 --> 00:29:37.549
kind of a very bad predicament in this situation because
564
00:29:37.569 --> 00:29:40.440
they understand and realize they're also affected by the global economy.
565
00:29:40.539 --> 00:29:42.220
And if their price of oil goes up, it infects
566
00:29:42.339 --> 00:29:45.960
them as well. And look, China also has other areas
567
00:29:45.980 --> 00:29:47.900
where they can buy oil. You know, just because we
568
00:29:47.920 --> 00:29:50.059
have this deal with Venezuela, a lot of these oils
569
00:29:50.119 --> 00:29:51.740
are brought in the market. You can even have that
570
00:29:51.799 --> 00:29:54.410
situation there. Obviously, the United States has much more influence.
571
00:29:54.869 --> 00:29:57.329
But I think Iran, if you're asking the question of
572
00:29:57.390 --> 00:29:59.099
how long they can last, I mean, that's one of
573
00:29:59.119 --> 00:30:02.359
the hardest questions to answer if you're an intelligence analyst.
574
00:30:02.380 --> 00:30:05.240
And it's basically saying, what's the will to fight? And
575
00:30:05.259 --> 00:30:07.980
I can tell you, David, from my experience, that is
576
00:30:08.009 --> 00:30:10.589
the hardest thing to assess. I mean, I think the
577
00:30:10.630 --> 00:30:12.130
perfect example I would say, David, I mean, if we
578
00:30:12.170 --> 00:30:13.730
go all the way back to 2010 in the Arab Spring,
579
00:30:15.690 --> 00:30:18.509
At the turn of the decade, nobody would have believed
580
00:30:18.549 --> 00:30:22.369
that a fruit vendor burning himself alive would have fundamentally
581
00:30:22.430 --> 00:30:25.150
transformed the Middle East. It was never in anybody's calculus,
582
00:30:25.190 --> 00:30:27.650
and yet that's what's happened. And that's the situation that
583
00:30:27.690 --> 00:30:31.029
Iran has. They're in a very precarious situation. Obviously, their
584
00:30:31.069 --> 00:30:33.470
soldiers and law enforcement personnel are getting paid. I think
585
00:30:33.490
--> 00:30:36.609
the administration, the Trump administration, is trying to amplify that
586
00:30:36.710 --> 00:30:39.730
and worsen that situation because they want the Iranian will
587
00:30:39.769 --> 00:30:42.150
to fight, at least at the bottom, mid, and at best,
588
00:30:42.289 --> 00:30:45.410
upper levels, to crack and fold. and fall into the
589
00:30:45.430 --> 00:30:46.789
United States. But if you're going to ask me how
590
00:30:46.829 --> 00:30:49.230
long they last, it depends the will to fight and
591
00:30:49.259 --> 00:30:52.259
the ability of the repressive machine to continue to hold Iran.
592
00:30:52.700 --> 00:30:54.900
Right now, they do show they have a strong hold,
593
00:30:55.000 --> 00:30:55.880
but it's not indefinite.
594
00:30:56.400 --> 00:30:58.380
Well, yeah, but and then at the G20 today, though,
595
00:30:58.640 --> 00:31:01.339
they tried to vote on a resolution. that would keep
596
00:31:01.380 --> 00:31:03.420
the Strait up. This is basically a free passage through
597
00:31:03.440 --> 00:31:06.220
the Strait. China was the only one not to vote
598
00:31:06.259 --> 00:31:08.619
for it. They vetoed it. So I think they are
599
00:31:08.660 --> 00:31:12.490
playing games with, to some extent, trying to assert themselves because,
600
00:31:13.210 --> 00:31:15.150
you know, and I'm interested to get your take on this.
601
00:31:15.250 --> 00:31:17.329
If you look at where we were before President Trump
602
00:31:17.349 --> 00:31:20.690
took office, it seemed China was growing more powerful and
603
00:31:20.789 --> 00:31:23.569
Iran was doing whatever they wanted to do. It seems
604
00:31:24.009 --> 00:31:26.140
that the world is sort of shifting, especially if you
605
00:31:26.180 --> 00:31:29.029
look at South America and this historic deal. with Venezuela.
606
00:31:29.109 --> 00:31:31.579
It seems the world is shifting west again, and the
607
00:31:31.619 --> 00:31:33.839
influence is shifting west. Are you feeling that same way?
608
00:31:34.880 --> 00:31:36.579
You know, I think one of the key issues, right,
609
00:31:36.599 --> 00:31:38.619
when you bring up, look, China obviously played double games.
610
00:31:38.660 --> 00:31:40.759
This vote in the G20 that you rightfully highlighted, I
611
00:31:41.059 --> 00:31:44.170
think it's still a way to give Iran some leeway
612
00:31:44.190 --> 00:31:46.289
to show that they're not completely isolated. It's also important
613
00:31:46.309 --> 00:31:49.769
to note that the Shanghai Cooperation Organization meeting happened, which
614
00:31:49.829 --> 00:31:52.950
is kind of the lesser equivalent of NATO in the
615
00:31:52.990 --> 00:31:55.380
Central Asia with China and Russia, with Iran trying to
616
00:31:55.420 --> 00:31:58.039
become a member. So obviously, they still play a role
617
00:31:58.079 --> 00:32:01.269
to support Iran, but their patience is not unlimited with Iran.
618
00:32:01.349 --> 00:32:03.250
And they also have to balance that with the relationship
619
00:32:03.269 --> 00:32:05.849
with Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, key allies
620
00:32:05.890 --> 00:32:08.509
of the United States. To your broader questions like China's
621
00:32:08.589 --> 00:32:11.960
role in relations and presence, we can analyze this from
622
00:32:12.000 --> 00:32:13.819
a military perspective, but I think it's also important to
623
00:32:13.859 --> 00:32:16.980
analyze this from an economic perspective, because China is doubling
624
00:32:17.000 --> 00:32:20.740
and tripling down on a manufacturing export-based economy that is
625
00:32:20.779 --> 00:32:23.339
causing a lot of tensions with countries around the world
626
00:32:23.380 --> 00:32:25.400
where it competes with their own. I think the United
627
00:32:25.420 --> 00:32:28.200
States has better posture to handle this. And we've done
628
00:32:28.240 --> 00:32:30.609
this not only since the first Trump administration, but the
629
00:32:30.640 --> 00:32:33.829
Biden administration, and again with the second Trump administration, to
630
00:32:33.849 --> 00:32:36.869
try to prevent China from saturating us with so much
631
00:32:36.930 --> 00:32:40.109
cheap goods and other services. Europe is actually facing the
632
00:32:40.150 --> 00:32:42.130
brunt of this. And we're also seeing Europe saying, look,
633
00:32:42.230 --> 00:32:45.250
our patience is not unlimited with China. And I would
634
00:32:45.289 --> 00:32:48.750
agree that internationally, although the United States might be consumed
635
00:32:48.769 --> 00:32:51.670
with Iran and our military forces there, we still have
636
00:32:51.690 --> 00:32:54.569
a lot of diplomatic reach and economic reach to influence.
637
00:32:54.589 --> 00:32:57.569
And we're seeing a lot of countries, specifically in South America,
638
00:32:57.609 --> 00:32:59.549
saying we'd rather be with the United States than with Beijing.
639
00:32:59.920 --> 00:33:02.210
Now, Stefano Ritondale, that's why I love having you on.
640
00:33:02.230 --> 00:33:05.329
You're so smart. I appreciate you bringing all this information
641
00:33:05.369 --> 00:33:06.650
to the audience, and I look forward to having you
642
00:33:06.670 --> 00:33:07.230
on again real soon.
643
00:33:08.140 --> 00:33:08.680
Thank you so much, David.
644
00:33:08.700 --> 00:33:09.779
It was great being here again.
645
00:33:09.799 --> 00:33:15.710
Yeah, thank you. We launch a brand new segment that
646
00:33:15.750 --> 00:33:19.410
I told you about on Monday. I'm calling it Weaponization Wednesday.
647
00:33:19.839 --> 00:33:23.079
We have a decorated Iraq veteran sent to federal prison
648
00:33:23.539 --> 00:33:26.599
over the unpaid work he did saving other veterans' lives.
649
00:33:26.619 --> 00:33:30.099
His name's Jeremy Harrell, and he's going to tell you
650
00:33:30.140 --> 00:33:33.670
what happened to him after this and later. The con
651
00:33:33.690 --> 00:33:38.009
man who faked an entire NFL career to scam two
652
00:33:38.230 --> 00:33:41.960
dozen women. And he got roasted by every team in sports.
653
00:33:42.000 --> 00:33:43.319
You have to see this one to believe it. All
654
00:33:43.339 --> 00:33:43.960
that's still to come.

00:34:27.849 --> 00:34:31.309
You've heard the term weaponization. You've heard the stories. You've
666
00:34:31.329 --> 00:34:34.849
heard from the targets. This isn't something that just happened
667
00:34:34.869 --> 00:34:38.630
to some other people somewhere in some abstract way. It
668
00:34:38.650 --> 00:34:41.059
happened to us here at OAN when the FBI ran
669
00:34:41.099 --> 00:34:44.260
its secret operation to smear anyone telling the truth about
670
00:34:44.280 --> 00:34:47.539
the Biden family corruption. Built an enemies list right here
671
00:34:47.659 --> 00:34:51.840
on it. Branded as so-called conduits of Russian disinformation. It
672
00:34:52.280 --> 00:34:56.130
was this network, One America News, our parent networks. One
673
00:34:56.150 --> 00:34:58.869
of our reporters, they came for us for doing the
674
00:34:58.929 --> 00:35:03.170
crime of journalism. And that's exactly why we refuse to
675
00:35:03.210 --> 00:35:05.530
look the other way when they come for anyone else.
676
00:35:05.550 --> 00:35:08.860
So every Wednesday on this program from tonight forward, I'm
677
00:35:08.880 --> 00:35:12.980
going to highlight stories of weaponization. Every Wednesday from tonight forward,
678
00:35:13.460 --> 00:35:16.300
we're going to tell you the story from one American
679
00:35:16.340 --> 00:35:19.110
to the next. Real people in real towns whose governments
680
00:35:19.150 --> 00:35:23.250
were turned against them. Calling it Weaponization Wednesday. For the
681
00:35:23.289 --> 00:35:25.389
very first one, I want to tell you about a
682
00:35:25.449 --> 00:35:30.110
soldier NAMED JEREMY HAROLD. JEREMY, HE GAVE THE BETTER PART
683
00:35:30.449 --> 00:35:33.150
OF A DECADE TO THE UNITED STATES ARMY FIGHTING THIS
684
00:35:33.190 --> 00:35:37.150
COUNTRY'S WAR ON TERROR IN IRAQ. HE CAME HOME LIKE
685
00:35:37.329 --> 00:35:40.159
WAY TOO MANY OF OUR WARRIORS DID, CARRYING WOUNDS THAT
686
00:35:40.199 --> 00:35:42.980
NOBODY CAN SEE. THE DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS, THE GOVERNMENT'S
687
00:35:43.019 --> 00:35:47.019
OWN DOCTORS DIAGNOSED HIM WITH POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER AND
688
00:35:47.139 --> 00:35:50.280
IN 2011 THEY RATED HIM INDIVIDUALLY UNEMPLOYABLE AND ABLE TO
689
00:35:50.320 --> 00:35:56.329
HOLD DOWN A NORMAL TRADITIONAL JOB. He turned his pain
690
00:35:56.369 --> 00:36:00.050
into purpose, and in 2019, he founded a nonprofit organization
691
00:36:00.090 --> 00:36:03.969
called Veterans Club, dedicated to pulling other veterans and other
692
00:36:04.010 --> 00:36:09.360
first responders back from the edge. Suicide prevention, addiction recovery, brotherhood.
693
00:36:10.159 --> 00:36:13.099
And for that, well, the federal government sent him to prison.
694
00:36:13.800 --> 00:36:17.000
In August of last year, a jury convicted Jeremy Harrell
695
00:36:17.019 --> 00:36:21.239
of stealing government benefits, the very disability payments the VA
696
00:36:21.320 --> 00:36:26.679
itself had granted him, $ 128, 000 of them, The prosecutor's theory
697
00:36:26.840 --> 00:36:31.650
went like this. They said, because Jeremy worked 40, 50,
698
00:36:31.650 --> 00:36:35.429
60 hours a week maybe building a non-for-profit, managing the money,
699
00:36:35.510 --> 00:36:40.030
rallying its 6,000 volunteers, sitting for interviews, he had proven
700
00:36:40.070 --> 00:36:42.869
he was capable of holding a job. And so he
701
00:36:42.889 --> 00:36:46.340
was never really entitled to those checks he received. He
702
00:36:46.360 --> 00:36:48.420
faced up to 10 years. He served six months in
703
00:36:48.460 --> 00:36:51.940
federal prison. But look at what that jury weighed against him, Jeremy.
704
00:36:52.639 --> 00:36:55.519
Never took a paycheck from Veterans Club, not one dollar.
705
00:36:55.579 --> 00:36:58.519
He built the entire thing as an unpaid volunteer. And
706
00:36:58.539 --> 00:37:01.369
his argument from the very first day has been this.
707
00:37:01.510 --> 00:37:05.409
Unemployability is about your ability to hold down a paying job.
708
00:37:05.889 --> 00:37:09.170
The unpaid work he poured into saving other veterans was
709
00:37:09.230 --> 00:37:12.579
never an occupation. It was his therapy. It was, in
710
00:37:12.599 --> 00:37:15.199
his own words, how he kept himself alive while he
711
00:37:15.219 --> 00:37:18.090
was keeping them alive. And it was not just Jeremy
712
00:37:18.130 --> 00:37:21.610
saying so. Across four years in question, more than 50
713
00:37:21.610 --> 00:37:24.559
separate providers at the VA reviewed his case and agreed
714
00:37:24.599 --> 00:37:27.719
his rating was correct. The first one to disagree was
715
00:37:27.780 --> 00:37:30.480
a psychologist brought in to examine him at the specific
716
00:37:30.539 --> 00:37:34.980
request of the federal agents already building the case against him. So,
717
00:37:35.400 --> 00:37:40.909
did Jeremy Harrell do anything wrong?
Juries thought so. Jeremy says, no,
718
00:37:40.989 --> 00:37:43.710
he's innocent, and he earned those benefits in the mountains
719
00:37:43.750 --> 00:37:46.750
of Iraq, and that his government... HE'S A CRIMINAL. HE'S
720
00:37:46.769 --> 00:37:49.550
A CRIMINAL. HE'S A CRIMINAL. HE'S A CRIMINAL. HE'S A CRIMINAL.
721
00:37:49.590 --> 00:37:52.090
HE'S A CRIMINAL. HE'S A CRIMINAL. HE'S A CRIMINAL. HE'S
722
00:37:52.110 --> 00:37:55.190
A CRIMINAL. HE'S A CRIMINAL. HE'S A CRIMINAL. HE'S A CRIMINAL.
723
00:37:55.789 --> 00:37:58.250
HE'S A CRIMINAL. HE'S A CRIMINAL. HE'S A CRIMINAL. HE'S
724
00:37:58.289 --> 00:38:00.989
A CRIMINAL. HE'S A CRIMINAL. HE'S A CRIMINAL. HE'S A CRIMINAL.
725
00:38:01.039 --> 00:38:02.920
HE'S A CRIMINAL. HE'S A CRIMINAL. HE'S A CRIMINAL. HE'S
726
00:38:03.280 --> 00:38:05.039
A CRIMINAL. HE'S A CRIMINAL. HE'S A CRIMINAL. HE'S A CRIMINAL.
727
00:38:05.059 --> 00:38:16.119
HE'S A CRIMINAL. HE'S A CRIMINAL. SUPPORTERS HAVE AN ANSWER,
728
00:38:16.139 --> 00:38:19.340
AND IT'S A COLD ONE, BECAUSE JEREMY HERRELL WASN'T ANONYMOUS.
729
00:38:19.360 --> 00:38:22.619
HE HAD A PLATFORM. HE WAS A PUBLIC FACE FOR VETERANS,
730
00:38:23.219 --> 00:38:25.739
AND THAT, THEY ARGUE, IS PRECISELY WHY THEY MADE HIM
731
00:38:25.780 --> 00:38:28.570
A TARGET AND A WARNING SHOT TO EVERY OTHER VETERAN
732
00:38:28.590 --> 00:38:32.550
IN AMERICA WHO MIGHT DARE SAY STAY USEFUL WHILE COLLECTING
733
00:38:32.590 --> 00:38:38.130
THE DISABILITY CHECK THEY EARNED. JEREMY HERRELL HAS SERVED HIS SENTENCE.
734
00:38:38.429 --> 00:38:41.559
HE'S ALSO SERVED HIS COUNTRY. It's a free man and
735
00:38:41.579 --> 00:38:45.480
a convicted felon asking the president of the United States
736
00:38:46.139 --> 00:38:49.909
for a full pardon. Jeremy joins me now for the
737
00:38:49.949 --> 00:38:53.590
first Weaponization Wednesday. Jeremy, welcome to the show.
738
00:38:55.250 --> 00:38:56.690
Thank you, David. Thanks for having me. I'm glad to
739
00:38:56.710 --> 00:38:56.969
be here.
740
00:38:57.429 --> 00:39:00.489
It's an honor. Tell me, look. People are going to
741
00:39:00.510 --> 00:39:02.880
look at this segment. They're going to say, well, he
742
00:39:02.900 --> 00:39:06.480
was taking benefits. He had this organization. The money didn't
743
00:39:06.519 --> 00:39:08.980
belong to him. That money was fraud. It should have
744
00:39:09.000 --> 00:39:12.119
went to another veteran that wasn't able to work. That's
745
00:39:12.139 --> 00:39:14.320
what the government said. That's what the jury agreed to.
746
00:39:14.340 --> 00:39:15.340
What do you say to them?
747
00:39:17.340 --> 00:39:21.489
Yeah, I say that there's a lot more ambiguity in
748
00:39:21.530 --> 00:39:26.570
this case than that. Number one, in 2010, the VA
749
00:39:26.630 --> 00:39:30.059
determined that I was permanently and totally disabled. Now, I
750
00:39:30.059 --> 00:39:32.239
don't know, David, what you think when you hear the
751
00:39:32.260 --> 00:39:35.380
words
permanent and total, but for me, it means forever.
752
00:39:35.440 --> 00:39:38.760
They said that there would be no future exams and
753
00:39:38.780 --> 00:39:40.579
basically told me to try to live my life the
754
00:39:40.639 --> 00:39:41.679
best that I could.
755
00:39:41.860 --> 00:39:44.860
And so, I was actually very depressed.
756
00:39:44.500 --> 00:39:48.110
About that rating initially, and it took me almost a
757
00:39:48.179 --> 00:39:52.250
decade before I had figured out a way to rectify
758
00:39:52.289 --> 00:39:54.289
the way that I was feeling and a way that
759
00:39:54.329 --> 00:39:57.050
I could give back to my country, right? This was
760
00:39:57.090 --> 00:39:59.570
never the plan for me. I'd much rather be healthy
761
00:39:59.710 --> 00:40:02.469
and be able to go out and perform the way
762
00:40:02.510 --> 00:40:04.929
that many others can, but that just wasn't in the
763
00:40:04.969 --> 00:40:05.590
cards for me.
764
00:40:06.130 --> 00:40:08.289
And so the response that I would have.
765
00:40:08.110 --> 00:40:14.400
To that is, What changed between 2010 and 2023 when
766
00:40:14.440 --> 00:40:18.800
that indictment came? The only thing that changed was the
767
00:40:19.000 --> 00:40:24.550
amount of positive change that I was creating. The systemic
768
00:40:24.730 --> 00:40:28.429
failures of the VA and the Biden administration, whether it
769
00:40:28.769 --> 00:40:31.849
pertains to national security or whether it pertains to VA benefits,
770
00:40:32.210 --> 00:40:35.599
I was very loud about those, very vocal. Additionally, I
771
00:40:35.619 --> 00:40:39.280
did not stop operating the nonprofit during COVID-19.
772
00:40:39.380 --> 00:40:41.219
We were able to do it and do it effectively
773
00:40:41.260 --> 00:40:41.800
and safely.
774
00:40:41.820 --> 00:40:44.570
I'm happy to report that no one got ill from
775
00:40:44.590 --> 00:40:47.349
attending any one of our events. But the last thing
776
00:40:47.369 --> 00:40:49.909
that we needed to do was for veterans to be
777
00:40:50.030 --> 00:40:52.389
isolated when they already do that enough.
778
00:40:52.510 --> 00:40:54.030
And that's a killer in our community.
779
00:40:54.429 --> 00:40:57.070
But what's really interesting about this, David, is in August
780
00:40:57.110 --> 00:41:02.250
of 2021, I heavily criticized what I call the most
781
00:41:02.409 --> 00:41:08.739
botched military operation in history when Biden had us leave Afghanistan.
782
00:41:09.179 --> 00:41:12.679
I criticized that heavily. It went viral. Two months later,
783
00:41:12.920 --> 00:41:15.000
in October, the investigation started.
784
00:41:15.639 --> 00:41:18.900
And then once that investigation started, it never stopped. The
785
00:41:18.960 --> 00:41:23.420
initial claim wasn't even about disability. The initial claim was
786
00:41:23.500 --> 00:41:27.630
about that people thought maybe I was profiting from my nonprofit,
787
00:41:27.710 --> 00:41:28.690
but that wasn't the case.
788
00:41:28.750 --> 00:41:31.070
They did a forensic audit that I was never aware of.
789
00:41:31.570 --> 00:41:33.010
And keep in mind, I had never.
790
00:41:33.429 --> 00:41:36.630
Had any inkling of knowledge that I was even under investigation.
791
00:41:37.050 --> 00:41:39.000
But they did the forensic audit, realized that I had
792
00:41:39.039 --> 00:41:43.000
taken nothing from this organization, not even mileage for my
793
00:41:43.059 --> 00:41:46.639
own personal vehicle. And when that didn't work, they didn't
794
00:41:46.699 --> 00:41:49.440
simply close the case and go on and do their
795
00:41:49.480 --> 00:41:54.119
job and aggravate a different veteran. They decided to find
796
00:41:54.159 --> 00:41:57.000
a new theory. So they kept trying to go down
797
00:41:57.039 --> 00:41:59.860
these rabbit holes, try to find some sort of probable
798
00:41:59.929 --> 00:42:02.269
cause in order to bring me down. And that was
799
00:42:02.309 --> 00:42:05.429
the point. And then, you know, they started investigating. They
800
00:42:05.449 --> 00:42:09.489
started asking questions again. Why didn't the investigator ever ask me?
801
00:42:10.150 --> 00:42:15.550
What I was doing? Why would he bypass the suspect,
802
00:42:15.670 --> 00:42:16.210
so to speak?
803
00:42:16.329 --> 00:42:19.309
Well, it's because he knew that I had answers for
804
00:42:19.369 --> 00:42:22.510
everything that they were suspecting me of doing wrong and
805
00:42:23.210 --> 00:42:26.420
couldn't sit in front of a grand jury morally and.
806
00:42:26.570 --> 00:42:28.739
Tell a lie, even though they did anyway.
807
00:42:29.159 --> 00:42:31.039
And so at the end of the grand jury indictment,
808
00:42:32.199 --> 00:42:36.519
The grand jury had 15 questions. When my lawyer told
809
00:42:36.559 --> 00:42:39.280
me this, he says, even on a bad case, there
810
00:42:39.300 --> 00:42:42.440
might be one or two questions, something confusing that come
811
00:42:42.500 --> 00:42:43.500
up during the testimony.
812
00:42:43.860 --> 00:42:45.340
They had 15.
813
00:42:45.340 --> 00:42:45.679
Why?
814
00:42:45.949 --> 00:42:48.670
Because this never should have been prosecuted. This never should
815
00:42:48.690 --> 00:42:52.769
have been a criminal case. At the height of this,
816
00:42:53.329 --> 00:42:57.750
it would have been an administrative process. 99.9% of the
817
00:42:57.769 --> 00:43:02.039
time when the VA feels like that you're improving, what
818
00:43:02.079 --> 00:43:05.500
they do is they give you exams and then propose
819
00:43:05.539 --> 00:43:07.239
to reduce your rating.
820
00:43:08.090 --> 00:43:10.269
Well, they decided not to do that with me. They
821
00:43:10.309 --> 00:43:11.989
decided to make this a criminal proceeding.
822
00:43:12.570 --> 00:43:16.280
And again, I think this problem isn't even about disability.
823
00:43:16.380 --> 00:43:18.300
I think this problem, based on what we've learned through
824
00:43:18.340
--> 00:43:21.440
discovery and what we've learned over the course of time,
825
00:43:21.500 --> 00:43:25.500
talking to many, many very intelligent and highly prominent attorneys
826
00:43:25.539 --> 00:43:28.920
across this country, is the problem wasn't disability. The problem
827
00:43:28.960 --> 00:43:32.239
was is that Folks wanted me, were urging me to
828
00:43:32.320 --> 00:43:36.519
run for a Republican Senate seat in Kentucky. They were
829
00:43:36.559 --> 00:43:41.130
wanting me to get into politics. And that's a very
830
00:43:41.590 --> 00:43:45.250
scary thing for a state that is governed by a
831
00:43:45.269 --> 00:43:46.369
Democratic governor.
832
00:43:46.949 --> 00:43:50.070
And so I think you put all.
833
00:43:49.969 --> 00:43:53.860
These things together, and it's very easy to see that
834
00:43:54.179 --> 00:43:57.059
this was more than just about any kind of benefit fraud.
835
00:43:57.500 --> 00:43:59.780
I mean, You know, look, why didn't they come after
836
00:43:59.820 --> 00:44:06.619
me between 2010 and 2023? I started this organization with
837
00:44:06.900 --> 00:44:10.659
other veterans in 2019. It was only when I was
838
00:44:10.699 --> 00:44:13.159
the loudest, it was only when I was being called
839
00:44:13.239 --> 00:44:16.239
in as a subject matter expert, when legislators were listening,
840
00:44:16.760 --> 00:44:20.150
when folks like you were calling asking for my opinion
841
00:44:20.170 --> 00:44:22.989
on different things within the veteran.
842
00:44:22.730 --> 00:44:24.210
Community that it become a problem.
843
00:44:25.250 --> 00:44:28.409
And so that's the biggest question is. And then once
844
00:44:28.449 --> 00:44:31.210
they thought that I was doing something wrong, why did
845
00:44:31.309 --> 00:44:34.360
why did he wait two years to do something about it?
846
00:44:34.969 --> 00:44:35.190
Right.
847
00:44:35.230 --> 00:44:37.969
Why wouldn't he want to stop the quote unquote fraud immediately?
848
00:44:38.190 --> 00:44:38.389
Right.
849
00:44:38.489 --> 00:44:42.929
If it was about rescue in the United States. So, yeah.
850
00:44:42.969 --> 00:44:47.579
So if I'm understanding this correctly. They you had this organization.
851
00:44:47.619 --> 00:44:50.860
You started this organization back in 2010. You went and served.
852
00:44:50.880 --> 00:44:53.460
You came back. You were given 100 percent disability rating.
853
00:44:53.500 --> 00:44:56.000
They're saying basically you're disabled and we're going to give
854
00:44:56.019 --> 00:44:57.840
you this money since you serve this country and you
855
00:44:57.889 --> 00:45:01.130
became disabled while serving this country. And there are work
856
00:45:01.170 --> 00:45:05.190
restrictions on receiving that disability payment. So you didn't, and
857
00:45:05.210 --> 00:45:06.809
you couldn't work if you wanted to because of a
858
00:45:06.829 --> 00:45:12.440
TBI and other battle-related injuries. And so to make yourself useful,
859
00:45:12.460 --> 00:45:13.739
what did they expect you to do? Sit in a
860
00:45:13.780 --> 00:45:15.960
recliner for the rest of your life and drink sweet
861
00:45:16.000 --> 00:45:18.329
tea and yell at the television? So you go and
862
00:45:18.349 --> 00:45:20.730
you gather veterans together to try to do some good.
863
00:45:21.590 --> 00:45:24.530
And then they tried to go after you for doing
864
00:45:24.769 --> 00:45:26.659
some criminal things. And when they realized there was no
865
00:45:26.679 --> 00:45:31.239
there there, they decided that because they viewed you as
866
00:45:31.599 --> 00:45:35.980
being less disabled as they rated you, that in itself
867
00:45:36.019 --> 00:45:37.440
was a crime. They were going to send you to
868
00:45:37.500 --> 00:45:39.440
jail for up to 10 years. You end up serving
869
00:45:39.840 --> 00:45:43.960
six months in jail because you received the benefits that
870
00:45:44.000 --> 00:45:46.940
they gave you and because you weren't basically a vegetable
871
00:45:47.000 --> 00:45:49.550
receiving those benefits. I'm understanding this correctly?
872
00:45:50.530 --> 00:45:52.869
Yeah, I mean, you're spot on target. You know, here's
873
00:45:52.889 --> 00:45:55.250
the deal. These aren't wages. I didn't steal money from
874
00:45:55.309 --> 00:45:57.000
Chase Bank, right?
875
00:45:57.099 --> 00:46:00.800
These are benefits that I earned due to the sacrifice
876
00:46:00.860 --> 00:46:02.780
of my mind and body. And they told me when
877
00:46:02.820 --> 00:46:04.469
I raised my right hand and swore an oath to
878
00:46:04.510 --> 00:46:07.909
defend this country that that you have to be really
879
00:46:07.949 --> 00:46:10.329
healthy to join the military. And they say, if you
880
00:46:10.369 --> 00:46:11.829
go and do this for us and you come back
881
00:46:11.869 --> 00:46:13.889
and you're not as healthy, we're going to take care
882
00:46:13.929 --> 00:46:16.880
of you. And all I was doing is expecting them
883
00:46:16.900 --> 00:46:19.300
to uphold their end of the bargain because I certainly
884
00:46:19.340 --> 00:46:21.500
had done that. I served honorably, had no issues in
885
00:46:21.519 --> 00:46:25.449
the military. And as far as criminal activity, I had
886
00:46:25.570 --> 00:46:29.349
one speeding ticket on my record from 2008 This is
887
00:46:29.389 --> 00:46:31.809
just asinine. And it was just more about trying to
888
00:46:31.969 --> 00:46:34.610
silence me, trying to get me out of the picture
889
00:46:34.670 --> 00:46:39.820
because I was able to infiltrate rooms that they didn't want.
890
00:46:39.739 --> 00:46:40.199
Me to be in.
891
00:46:40.219 --> 00:46:42.019
And I was able to get the attention of people
892
00:46:42.059 --> 00:46:44.739
they didn't want.
893
00:46:43.800 --> 00:46:44.820
To have the attention.
894
00:46:44.900 --> 00:46:47.559
And so, you know, this is what it looks like
895
00:46:47.860 --> 00:46:48.940
when the government is afraid.
896
00:46:48.980 --> 00:46:49.860
This is what it looks like.
897
00:46:50.340 --> 00:46:53.010
When when you're when you're too loud and when you're
898
00:46:53.050 --> 00:46:56.670
making sense, I was still in campaign points from a
899
00:46:56.690 --> 00:46:59.130
lot of folks who were running for office around the country.
900
00:46:59.650 --> 00:46:59.849
Right.
901
00:46:59.989 --> 00:47:02.409
You know, they want to use these campaign campaign points
902
00:47:02.469 --> 00:47:05.210
to keep getting reelected. And with a little bit of
903
00:47:05.250 --> 00:47:07.489
money and a lot of effort, we were we were
904
00:47:07.510 --> 00:47:08.679
taking care of those campaign.
905
00:47:08.820 --> 00:47:11.179
I mean, they could have they could have just reassessed
906
00:47:11.199 --> 00:47:13.639
your disability rating, which, by the way, nobody nobody gets
907
00:47:13.719 --> 00:47:16.780
better from traumatic brain injury to the point where they're
908
00:47:16.800 --> 00:47:19.519
disabled from it. They could have reevaluated your benefits if
909
00:47:19.539 --> 00:47:22.360
they wanted to. They could have suggested you were being overpaid.
910
00:47:22.599 --> 00:47:26.050
There's a million different, like you mentioned, administrative ways they
911
00:47:26.070 --> 00:47:27.809
could have went about this. It's not like you weren't
912
00:47:27.829 --> 00:47:29.809
entitled to those benefits. You went and you served and
913
00:47:29.829 --> 00:47:32.409
you were injured. It's not like you pretended to have
914
00:47:32.449 --> 00:47:34.630
a back injury and they caught you cutting your grass.
915
00:47:34.869 --> 00:47:37.230
You went and fought. You were injured in battle. And
916
00:47:37.250 --> 00:47:39.650
then you came back and you kept doing things to
917
00:47:39.750 --> 00:47:42.289
benefit the community. And for that, they put you in jail.
918
00:47:42.329 --> 00:47:45.610
It's a crazy case. I hope everybody goes. and looks
919
00:47:45.679 --> 00:47:48.920
up the facts of your case and lobbies for a
920
00:47:48.940 --> 00:47:50.960
pardon for you, my friend. Jeremy, thank you for your service.
921
00:47:51.159 --> 00:47:53.460
Thank you for coming on the show. And good luck
922
00:47:53.480 --> 00:47:53.960
to you, my friend.
923
00:47:54.800 --> 00:47:55.880
Thank you. I appreciate it.
924
00:47:56.940 --> 00:48:01.219
Still ahead, he carried the helmet, wore the jersey, even
925
00:48:01.300 --> 00:48:05.869
staged a fake contract signing. The fake 49er who fooled
926
00:48:05.949 --> 00:48:08.130
everyone until he didn't. That's coming up next.
927
00:48:15.090 --> 00:48:16.670

955
00:49:51.440 --> 00:49:54.900
He never took a single snap in the NFL. Not one.
956
00:49:55.559 --> 00:49:57.940
At least, not in the real one. But for four
957
00:49:58.000 --> 00:50:02.789
straight years, a 35-year-old man named Dajon Love... managed to
958
00:50:02.849 --> 00:50:06.309
convince two dozen women in this past week, roughly half
959
00:50:06.329 --> 00:50:09.130
the Internet, that he was a wide receiver for the
960
00:50:09.190 --> 00:50:12.019
San Francisco 49ers. I have to hand it to him.
961
00:50:12.400 --> 00:50:17.239
The man committed to the bit, according to federal prosecutors, Love,
962
00:50:17.920 --> 00:50:21.000
built an entire fake NFL life on Instagram. He posted
963
00:50:21.519 --> 00:50:25.570
photos of himself training. He wore 49ers gear everywhere he went.
964
00:50:26.309 --> 00:50:28.389
He took a picture of a real player, covered up
965
00:50:28.429 --> 00:50:31.170
the jersey number with a football, and passed it off
966
00:50:31.230 --> 00:50:34.650
as himself on the practice field. When the Niners went
967
00:50:34.670 --> 00:50:38.030
to the
Super Bowl, he reposted the real players' behind-the-scenes
968
00:50:38.090 --> 00:50:41.250
videos as though he had filmed them. He even staged
969
00:50:41.329 --> 00:50:44.340
a fake contract signing for the cameras, and in detail,
970
00:50:44.880 --> 00:50:47.820
so perfect you almost have to respect it. One of
971
00:50:47.840 --> 00:50:50.059
the fake names he used to pull all of this
972
00:50:50.139 --> 00:50:53.820
off was Jordan Love, which happens to be the actual
973
00:50:53.920 --> 00:50:57.960
name of a real NFL quarterback. There was one tiny
974
00:50:58.079 --> 00:51:01.460
flaw in the master plan. Love was constantly photographed walking
975
00:51:01.519 --> 00:51:05.019
around town with his football helmet. If you know anything
976
00:51:05.059 --> 00:51:07.440
about the NFL, it's the one thing real players never
977
00:51:07.500 --> 00:51:11.260
actually do. As one sports writer put it, that probably
978
00:51:11.800 --> 00:51:14.000
should have been the giveaway. As ridiculous and funny as
979
00:51:14.039 --> 00:51:17.639
this story is, there was also real victims. Prosecutors say Love,
980
00:51:17.699 --> 00:51:22.460
along with an 18-year-old accomplice posing as a financial advisor,
981
00:51:23.119 --> 00:51:27.230
used his whole 49er fantasy to defraud 26 women out
982
00:51:27.269 --> 00:51:31.650
of roughly $ 1. 3 million. Seriously, it's real money from real
983
00:51:31.690 --> 00:51:34.239
people who thought they'd met a good man. I don't
984
00:51:34.280 --> 00:51:37.559
know how. He was arrested last week at the Boise airport.
985
00:51:37.599 --> 00:51:40.739
He's now charged with wire fraud. But the internet being
986
00:51:40.760 --> 00:51:44.039
the internet, and he's already handed down the verdict after
987
00:51:44.079 --> 00:51:48.530
his mugshot dropped love, trading the red and gold for
988
00:51:48.570 --> 00:51:51.710
an orange jumpsuit, the roasting began, and it was merciless.
989
00:51:52.320 --> 00:51:55.929
The Cleveland Guardians photoshopped him into their baseball uniform. The
990
00:51:55.949 --> 00:52:00.369
John is locked in. Pittsburgh Steeler posted an AI photo
991
00:52:00.409 --> 00:52:02.469
of the two of them in the locker room. Even
992
00:52:02.489 --> 00:52:05.619
the 49ers' own receivers coach got in on it, posting
993
00:52:06.000 --> 00:52:09.400
a fake shot of himself coaching the guy. EVERY TEAM
994
00:52:09.539 --> 00:52:13.710
IN SPORTS LINED UP TO PUT DEJON LOVE IN THEIR GEAR,
995
00:52:14.349 --> 00:52:16.409
WHICH IN THE END IS THE CLOSEST THIS MAN WILL
996
00:52:16.429 --> 00:52:24.159
EVER COME TO ACTUALLY MAKING A ROSTER. Welcome back to
997
00:52:24.179 --> 00:52:29.079
David Pollak Prime Time. Key, what a crazy story. This
998
00:52:29.139 --> 00:52:33.400
guy puts on 49ers gear, goes and runs around, does
999
00:52:33.440 --> 00:52:36.679
all these videos, convinces people that he's in the NFL,
1000
00:52:36.719 --> 00:52:38.880
gets all these people to give him
money, which is
1001
00:52:38.920 --> 00:52:42.920
the craziest part. And now he's going to be potentially
1002
00:52:42.940 --> 00:52:45.659
going to jail for wire fraud. How crazy is this story?
1003
00:52:47.119 --> 00:52:49.780
Well, it's crazy from his end because he did it.
1004
00:52:50.369 --> 00:52:53.690
But it's even crazier from the women's end because if
1005
00:52:53.730 --> 00:52:56.250
he's an NFL player, why does he need your money?
1006
00:52:56.269 --> 00:52:56.349
Yeah.
1007
00:52:58.150 --> 00:52:59.010
That's what I need to know.
1008
00:52:59.780 --> 00:53:00.780
That's an excellent point.
1009
00:53:01.739 --> 00:53:04.900
So they maxed out loans, maxed out credit cards, gave
1010
00:53:04.940 --> 00:53:07.880
this man all of their money for investments. And do
1011
00:53:07.940 --> 00:53:10.380
you know that when they started to ask questions or
1012
00:53:10.440 --> 00:53:12.260
when they ran out of money, he blocked them?
1013
00:53:13.989 --> 00:53:14.190
Yeah. Yeah.
1014
00:53:15.280 --> 00:53:16.219
So that would be living.
1015
00:53:16.539 --> 00:53:20.320
So this is like it's like the equivalent of like
1016
00:53:20.420 --> 00:53:23.590
the Nigerian print scam NFL edition.
1017
00:53:23.639 --> 00:53:23.800
Right.
1018
00:53:23.840 --> 00:53:27.269
Basically, it's like, hey, I'm in the NFL. I have
1019
00:53:27.309 --> 00:53:30.010
lots of money, but I need your money in order to,
1020
00:53:30.030 --> 00:53:34.150
I guess, give you money. How do you fall for this?
1021
00:53:34.590 --> 00:53:36.880
What's wrong with women? You're a woman. Tell me what
1022
00:53:36.900 --> 00:53:37.639
is wrong with women.
1023
00:53:38.630 --> 00:53:40.719
No, because I'm a little bit different. You can't pee
1024
00:53:40.780 --> 00:53:43.019
on me and tell me it's raining. It's impossible. I'm
1025
00:53:43.039 --> 00:53:45.380
going to ask a bunch of questions before I give
1026
00:53:45.420 --> 00:53:50.849
you a dime, okay? He even had some girl in
1027
00:53:50.909 --> 00:53:53.210
on the scam, so she would call them.
1028
00:53:53.230 --> 00:53:54.429
They would be on a three-way.
1029
00:53:54.110 --> 00:53:57.480
Call, Zoom call or whatever, and she would explain to
1030
00:53:57.539 --> 00:54:01.010
them what their money was going towards and they fell
1031
00:54:01.030 --> 00:54:03.679
for a hook, line and sinker. I just don't understand it.
1032
00:54:03.739 --> 00:54:06.159
Number one, why would an NFL player be on.
1033
00:54:06.119 --> 00:54:06.820
A dating app?
1034
00:54:07.320 --> 00:54:10.280
He can walk outside and get any woman he wants literally.
1035
00:54:11.400 --> 00:54:15.150
So he met you. I don't have the answers for it.
1036
00:54:15.210 --> 00:54:15.590
Okay.
1037
00:54:15.650 --> 00:54:17.889
But all I know is I want him to teach
1038
00:54:17.929 --> 00:54:21.849
me his ways. OK, I would like to be a salesperson.
1039
00:54:21.989 --> 00:54:24.929
And with ways like this, oh, I could sell houses
1040
00:54:24.989 --> 00:54:27.980
and real estate from now until forever. That's what I need.
1041
00:54:28.059 --> 00:54:28.840
I need his plan.
1042
00:54:29.909 --> 00:54:31.769
Well, Key, I think it ends badly if you use
1043
00:54:31.809 --> 00:54:34.610
his ways. The wire fraud thing is not going to
1044
00:54:34.630 --> 00:54:36.510
work out too well. I don't want the illegal part.
1045
00:54:36.630 --> 00:54:39.369
I don't want the illegal part. I just need his savvy.
1046
00:54:39.610 --> 00:54:40.570
I need to figure out.
1047
00:54:40.489 --> 00:54:42.809
What he's saying. Well, he's got hustle in him, and
1048
00:54:42.849 --> 00:54:46.190
that's for sure. They said that it should have been
1049
00:54:46.210 --> 00:54:47.969
the tell that he was carrying around his helmet with
1050
00:54:48.010 --> 00:54:51.610
him because he would carry his helmet around, and then
1051
00:54:51.650 --> 00:54:53.429
he would be on the beach here. I think it
1052
00:54:53.449 --> 00:54:55.610
was here in San Diego. He had his helmet on
1053
00:54:55.630 --> 00:54:59.829
the beach. He was running around, playing football. It's basically
1054
00:54:59.869 --> 00:55:00.909
one of the funniest things ever.
1055
00:55:00.989 --> 00:55:04.170
David, I had no idea this man was carrying around
1056
00:55:04.190 --> 00:55:04.429
a helmet.
1057
00:55:04.449 --> 00:55:06.789
Tell me you're lying. No, I'm not lying. He was
1058
00:55:06.829 --> 00:55:08.940
carrying around a helmet. And then he would record himself
1059
00:55:08.980 --> 00:55:13.019
doing drills on the beach in his 49ers helmet. The
1060
00:55:13.039 --> 00:55:15.699
story is crazy. On a day of such heavy news,
1061
00:55:16.519 --> 00:55:17.960
starting at the top of the show with this Lindsay
1062
00:55:17.980 --> 00:55:19.679
Clancy nonsense, we thought it would be fun to laugh
1063
00:55:19.719 --> 00:55:22.800
about something. And it's not funny that there's victims. I mean,
1064
00:55:23.179 --> 00:55:25.320
it is not funny that there's victims. But, man, people
1065
00:55:25.340 --> 00:55:26.090
are crazy. That's all.
1066
00:55:27.070 --> 00:55:29.690
I'm what's funny is that these women are ready to
1067
00:55:29.730 --> 00:55:32.829
go back to the handmaid's tale. They were fighting against it.
1068
00:55:32.869 --> 00:55:35.489
Now they're fighting to get into it. So I don't know.
1069
00:55:35.550 --> 00:55:39.860
I don't have answers as a woman and an American woman.
1070
00:55:40.300 --> 00:55:41.579
I do not claim these women.
1071
00:55:42.260 --> 00:55:44.900
OK, I guess this is just one of the great mysteries.
1072
00:55:45.400 --> 00:55:49.119
And we'll have to just wonder, guys, do better. And women,
1073
00:55:49.139 --> 00:55:50.039
you should do better, too.
1074
00:55:50.840 --> 00:55:51.340
Please.
1075
00:55:51.719 --> 00:55:53.289
Keith, thank you so much for being here as always.
1076
00:55:53.610 --> 00:55:54.409
Thank you, David.
1077
00:55:54.630 --> 00:55:55.250
It was a pleasure.
1078
00:55:55.289 --> 00:55:55.449
Yeah.
