1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,440
Speaker 1: Coming up on Special Reports, we're taking a look back

2
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:05,800
Speaker 1: at the January sixth Capitol Riots four years ago, as

3
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 1: DC is about to look very different in just a

4
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 1: matter of days with the incoming Trump administration. We'll discuss

5
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 1: with our very own Ben Berkwam.

6
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 2: Plus, powerful winds continue to fuel the deadly California wildfires

7
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 2: as a state emergency remains in effect for Los Angeles County.

8
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 2: We talked with a wildfire prevention expert on how this

9
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 2: could have all started.

10
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 3: And Joe Biden continues to endanger American lives as he

11
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 3: releases Al Qaeda fighters during a resurgence of the terrorist group.

12
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 4: All that and much more right now on Special Report.

13
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for tuning into this hour of

14
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: Special Reports. Emily Finn alongside Bo Davidson, Michelle Bechis, and

15
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: Tara Doll As we marked the four year anniversary of

16
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 1: the January sixth Capital Riots this week, we're taking a

17
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 1: look back at how much has changed over the last

18
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: four years since this moment. The left has been relentless

19
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: to tear down President Trump, despite two assassination attempts, numerous

20
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 1: legal battles, and rampant censorship on major media platforms. The

21
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: American people stood strong and continue to support Trump as

22
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: he is preparing to make his triumphant come back to

23
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:28,919
Speaker 1: the White House.

24
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 2: Our very own Ben Burkwom was reporting live at the

25
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 2: Capitol four years ago as smoke grenades and teargas were

26
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 2: shot into the crowd.

27
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 5: Take a look at what played out.

28
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 6: As rallieres ended up getting up to the Capitol and

29
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 6: climbing the steps into the Capitol. And that's when Pandemonian

30
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 6: took place. And I've heard reports. I haven't seen anything firsthand,

31
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 6: but they were in the Senate chambers and obviously that's

32
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 6: when they know. They removed all the members Congress members

33
00:01:58,920 --> 00:01:59,559
Speaker 6: or from the building.

34
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 3: Want to welcome in a rap Correspondent Ben bergwam to

35
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 3: the show to talk about his coverage that day. You know, Ben,

36
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 3: we saw the Democrats manipulate the narrative about these clashes

37
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 3: at the Capitol to benefit their campaign. But the American people,

38
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 3: you know, they saw right through it, electing Trump to

39
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 3: serve a second term in the White House. You were

40
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 3: there on the ground seeing everything play out right before

41
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 3: your eyes. What is the truth about what really happened

42
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:24,239
Speaker 3: on January sixth.

43
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 7: Well, you know, it was interesting watching that footage back,

44
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 7: it's really realizing how important and strategic that day was,

45
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 7: how the left used it, basically weaponized it for the

46
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 7: next four years, and how critical, absolutely critical, it was

47
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 7: for networks like Real America's Voice to counteract the lives

48
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 7: of the mainstream media. I mean this that was all

49
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 7: designed in hindsight. You know that day it was it

50
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 7: was pandemonium, it was chaos. I was standing there trying

51
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 7: to figure out what to make of it all, and

52
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 7: you really didn't know. And it took days. It actually

53
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,239
Speaker 7: took months later. I said we were going to be

54
00:02:58,240 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 7: talking about it for weeks. We were talking about it

55
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 7: for years. And it really took months, if not years,

56
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 7: to realize how much the FBI was involved with it,

57
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 7: how much Nancy Pelosi was involved with it, allowing it

58
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 7: to happen, basically covering up the election fraud. And if

59
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 7: it weren't for networks like Real America's Voice, the American

60
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 7: people wouldn't have had the truth and they wouldn't have

61
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 7: been inspired, I think really to come back and fight

62
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 7: back and to and if it wasn't for President Trump, Honestly,

63
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 7: I mean, it takes a man with that level of

64
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 7: fortitude after everything they did to him. It's really been

65
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 7: an incredible four years, and I just, I honestly can't

66
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 7: wait until January twentieth when he takes that oath of

67
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:38,119
Speaker 7: office again.

68
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I think a lot of people are pretty

69
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: excited for January twentieth.

70
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 8: I want to ask you about this.

71
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: This week, you had a lengthy post on x describing

72
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: the downfalls of the Democrat Party over the last four years,

73
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: including allowing the largest invasion at our southern border our

74
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: country has ever seen. We know that you report extensively

75
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: on immigration for US here at Real America's Voice. So

76
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: what do you think needs to change now that Republicans

77
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 1: back in control.

78
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 7: Well, and again just back to Bo's first question. This,

79
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 7: you know that really what they did the first four years,

80
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 7: the coup against President Trump, and then these last four years,

81
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 7: the destruction of our country from within. We've never seen

82
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 7: anything like this. Millions and millions of people allowed to

83
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 7: invade our country at will. We have no idea what

84
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 7: their backgrounds are. Now we know many of them are criminals.

85
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 7: Now we know many of them are terrorists, and there

86
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 7: are many more millions more in our country. We have

87
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 7: no idea who they are or what their intentions are.

88
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 7: So first off, we have to stop the bleeding. We

89
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 7: have to stop the invasion of the southern border. We

90
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 7: have to reenact to remain in Mexico policy. We have

91
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 7: to defund the United Nations and the NGOs that are

92
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 7: weaponizing and gaming our immigration system. We obviously have to

93
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 7: stop CVP one that stops day one, and then we

94
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 7: have to unleash Border Patrol and ICE to be able

95
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 7: to do their jobs. Thank god for guys like Tom Homan,

96
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 7: who's going to be able to do that. And I

97
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 7: think President Trump with that mindset going after the really

98
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 7: bad guys first priorizing and then just going point by point,

99
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 7: city by city, arresting sanctuary mayors and governors who get

100
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 7: in the way. And one of the really critical parts

101
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 7: of this is labeling Cartel's terrorist organizations.

102
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 9: If we do that, we investigate.

103
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 7: The politicians that are already corrupted, we prosecute those politicians,

104
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 7: we will be beginning the process of saving our country.

105
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 7: But again, if it weren't for networks like Real America's Voice,

106
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 7: Ours Show Law and Border, the American people wouldn't have

107
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 7: seen the truth. And that's part of why we have

108
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 7: an opportunity to save our country. But this January twentieth

109
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 7: is the beginning of saving our country. It's not the

110
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 7: end of anything, it's just the beginning.

111
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Ben, It'll be interesting to see how President

112
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 3: Trump works with someone like Gavin Newsom, considering all the

113
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,919
Speaker 3: fires that he's facing now, and of course, among other things, the.

114
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:45,239
Speaker 4: Border and the immigration issue.

115
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 3: But we know that many groups are organizing protests in

116
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 3: DC during the lead up to the inauguration. What are

117
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 3: we hearing from law enforcement agencies about what the safety

118
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 3: measures in DC are looking at. Are you confident in

119
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 3: the security measures in DC?

120
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 7: Well, short answer is no, I'm not confident until we

121
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 7: take back the control of this country. I don't trust

122
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 7: our justice system. I don't trust our law enforcement, especially

123
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 7: in a place that's so politicized like Washington, d C.

124
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,239
Speaker 7: Now I'm obviously going there. I'm taking my family to Washington,

125
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 7: d C. I'm not telling anyone not to go, but

126
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 7: I would say be aware of your surroundings. I have

127
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 7: no doubt Antifa and BLM, and more than likely you've

128
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 7: got Hamas and you know potentially other groups that are

129
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 7: planning either attacks or at least some level of protest,

130
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 7: So just be aware of what you're doing. But no,

131
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 7: I'm not confident until we actually take control of our

132
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 7: law enforcement system in our country. Again. I know law

133
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 7: enforcement's ready to do that. Sheriffs across this country are

134
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,239
Speaker 7: ready to do that. But as long as the people

135
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 7: that are in power now are in power, I don't

136
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 7: feel confident. After January twentieth, January twenty first, that's when

137
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 7: all that begins to change. So I just say, you know,

138
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 7: everywhere you go, be prepared. It's just like New Orleans

139
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 7: or Las Vegas. Be prepared, be aware of your surroundings,

140
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 7: always have a plan of exit, an exit strategy, you know,

141
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 7: protect your family. But this is you know, this is

142
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 7: what this all is about. We again, we're at the

143
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 7: beginning of a war to save this country. We have

144
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 7: enemies within this nation already, and it's up to the

145
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 7: American people, law enforcement, and the patriots of this nation

146
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 7: to reset the foundation of this country.

147
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 8: Absolutely head on a swivel for sure. Ben. Please stay

148
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 8: safe with your family while you're there.

149
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: We are very much looking forward to your reporting during

150
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: our special coverage on the road to the inauguration, and

151
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: we understand that you'll be at the Inaugural Prayer Breakfast

152
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: on January twentieth.

153
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 8: What can we expect to see there?

154
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 7: Well, first off, it's an absolute honor. I've actually been

155
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 7: invited to speak and pray on behalf of media. It's

156
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 7: the first time media will have been invited into the

157
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 7: event and it's Real America's voice that will have that exclusive.

158
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 7: It's going to be an amazing day. There's some special

159
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 7: guests we can't announce yet, but it's going to be

160
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 7: an incredible day. And tickets are still available. So if

161
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 7: you're going to be in Washington, DC, you want a

162
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 7: place that's out of the cold, off the streets, a

163
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 7: very safe place. You could still get those tickets at

164
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 7: the Inaugural Prayer Breakfast website.

165
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 10: I believe we have that on.

166
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 7: The screen hopefully, But if you just look up Inaugural

167
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 7: Prayer Breakfast and it's at the Waldorf Astoria, it's the

168
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 7: old Trump Hotel, you could still get tickets for it.

169
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 7: It's going to be a great, absolutely great event.

170
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, that sounds great.

171
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 10: Ben.

172
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 3: We really appreciate you being there for that and can't

173
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 3: wait to see the coverage. You know, there's so much

174
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 3: work to be done to help restore our country's greatness.

175
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 3: Trump keeps calling it a new golden age in America,

176
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 3: And I want to get your thoughts on these three

177
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 3: ideas that he floated recently, Panama, Greenland, and Canada. I

178
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 3: know that you've spent extensive time in Panama. What would

179
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 3: it take to get the Panama Canal back? We know

180
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,559
Speaker 3: that the Chinese control it. We gave it away for

181
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 3: a dollar to Panama at the time under the Carter administration.

182
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 4: What would it take to get that back?

183
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 3: And do you see that as a huge feather in

184
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 3: our cap in terms of national security?

185
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 7: Well, it's absolutely of strategic importance. Whether you know what

186
00:08:58,080 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 7: it would take to get it back, it's basically a

187
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 7: breaking of the treaty. So there are certain specific items

188
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 7: laid out when that when the canal was given back

189
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 7: over to Panama, that had to be followed. President Trump

190
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 7: has said some of those have been violated. If that's

191
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 7: the case, in particular, if China is treating US America differently,

192
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,079
Speaker 7: and it's not an equal playing field when it comes

193
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,679
Speaker 7: to our products moving through the port, it can be

194
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 7: it can be taken back over immediately. Now, obviously there

195
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 7: are some implications to that I think President Trump is

196
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 7: going to make wise decisions when it comes to that.

197
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 7: One thing. I will tell you the new president of Panama,

198
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 7: we've obviously the work we've done down there, across going

199
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 7: across in the dairyen four times. We have good relationships

200
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 7: with Real America's Voice News, have good relationships with the

201
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 7: new president. The new president wants to end the invasion

202
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 7: across the Darien Gap, but the canal is one of

203
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 7: those hot button issues and it's going to be a

204
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,559
Speaker 7: game of chess from now till you know, whatever decisions

205
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 7: are made. But it really comes down to President Trump.

206
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:54,959
Speaker 7: In America, we gave it away, we can take it

207
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 7: back if those if that treaty is violated, it'll be

208
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 7: interesting to see now Canada, Greenland obviously and more strategic,

209
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 7: strategically important. I don't know what to make of honesty,

210
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 7: what to make of that Greenland wants to get away

211
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 7: from Denmark. I think we would be open to receiving them.

212
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,719
Speaker 7: Canada is another story. The Canadians obviously love America, but

213
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 7: I know a lot of Canadians want to be Canadians.

214
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 7: So all I can say is be ready. The next

215
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 7: four years are going to be incredible. I pray that

216
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 7: they're incredibly good. There are some people that mount to

217
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 7: make them incredibly bad, and it's up to us to

218
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 7: make them good. But you know, President Trump is a

219
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,199
Speaker 7: man of four d chs and I just can't wait

220
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 7: to see what comes over the next days, weeks, and months.

221
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, it certainly is pretty exciting, Ben. I mean, he

222
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: hasn't even set foot back in the White House. It's

223
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: not even day one of his second administration. He's already

224
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 1: getting stuff done. So first step is inauguration, obviously, but

225
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: after that he's got to get people in his administration confirmed.

226
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: We only have about thirty seconds left here. Do you

227
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 1: think that he's going to face any challenges there?

228
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 7: I hope not. I hope the Senate. I hope the

229
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 7: Republicans in the Senate do what they're supposed to do.

230
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 7: They do their they follow the mandate of the American people,

231
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 7: and they confirm every appointee, every appointment that President Trump makes.

232
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 7: That's my prayer.

233
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 8: Yeah, absolutely, Ben.

234
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: Well, we so appreciate you sharing your insight with us

235
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 1: today and are so looking forward to your reporting at

236
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: the inaugural prayer breakfast.

237
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:15,079
Speaker 11: Ben.

238
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 8: Thank you for being with us.

239
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 7: Great to be with you.

240
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 12: Thank you all right.

241
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 1: Now coming up, Powerful winds continue to fuel the deadly

242
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: California wildfires, as a state of emergency remains in effect

243
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,839
Speaker 1: for Los Angeles County. The videos coming out of LA

244
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 1: are stunning. You don't want to miss this. We talk

245
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: with a wildfire prevention expert on how this could have

246
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: all started. We'll be back right after this commercial.

247
00:11:37,760 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 5: Break, and welcome back to special report.

248
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 2: Deadly wild fires continue to tear through southern California. The

249
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 2: city of Los Angeles remains in a state of emergency

250
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 2: as thousands have evacuated and at least five are dead.

251
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 3: The fire initially began Tuesday in the Pacific Palisades before

252
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 3: quickly spreading. Thardi say it was started by a backyard fire.

253
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, LA Mayor Karen Bass was caught refusing to answer

254
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 2: questions about the fires, especially after she just returned from

255
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 2: her trip to Ghana.

256
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 5: Take a look.

257
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 13: Do you owe citizens and apology for being absent while

258
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 13: their homes were burning? Do you regret coming the fire

259
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 13: department budget by millions of dollars?

260
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 14: Not in there?

261
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 13: Have you nothing to say today that? Have you absolutely

262
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 13: nothing to say to the citizens today? Alon Mosk says

263
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 13: that you're utterly in Are you considering your position, Madam

264
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 13: mayor have you absolutely nothing to say to the citizens today?

265
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 13: You're dealing with this disaster, no apology for them. Do

266
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 13: you think you should have been visiting Ghana while this

267
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 13: was unfolding back home?

268
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 3: Well, for more on all of this, let's get right

269
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 3: out to Kelly Walker. Kelly is an urban interface wildfire

270
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 3: prevention specialist who received the Bronze Smokey Bear Award for

271
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 3: his work with fire prevention. So, Kelly, what have you

272
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 3: heard from your sources about the current conditions of all

273
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:42,479
Speaker 3: these fires.

274
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 14: Well, It's actually been a few years since I've been

275
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 14: in that field, but I worked in wildfire prevention forestry

276
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 14: for well over a decade. I am hearing from people

277
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 14: some of the talk that wildland firefighters, fire marshals and

278
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 14: other would kind of talking shop, and that is that

279
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 14: a lot of this was preventable, that a lot of

280
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,199
Speaker 14: why this is happening is not just why it started,

281
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 14: and it's certainly not global warming. I want to make

282
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 14: that point. It's because of mismanagement of the natural resources,

283
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 14: mismanagement of the land. And I would say anyone in

284
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 14: that area who has worked on wildland urban interface management.

285
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 14: They know exactly what's going on.

286
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 2: Break into that a little bit more. You said mismanagement.

287
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 2: What exactly has been mismanaged in California. I know I

288
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 2: could go on a spiel, but I'd love to hear

289
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 2: your opinion.

290
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 14: Well, from what I'm hearing, resources were diverted from firefighters

291
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 14: from wildland firefighters. There are water issues. I could go

292
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 14: into that at length. I'm going to post some of

293
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 14: my content on my website with realfreedomtalk dot com. But

294
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 14: there are gosh, it's hard to know where to start.

295
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 14: The power lines pg in I've heard are very very old.

296
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 14: Some of those can start fires. There were supposed to

297
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 14: be funds for burying those lines, upgrading the systems. It's

298
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 14: just a mess. And really, honestly, funds that should have

299
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 14: gone to educating people about defensible space managing the land

300
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 14: apparently have gone to DEI and other issues. So a

301
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 14: lot of work has gone undone and people need to know.

302
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 14: I mean, I think they're concerned about the environment and

303
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 14: they have good intentions, but they don't realize they live

304
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 14: in a fire ecosystem. That Chaparral Rush community is made

305
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 14: to burn every so many years, but there are factors.

306
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 14: I know, we don't have much time, but there are

307
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 14: factors complicating that. So there are a lot of problems.

308
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 3: Kelly, let me ask you this because there's this feud

309
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 3: obviously going on between President like Trump and Gavin Newsom.

310
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 3: And Trump had this memorandum in twenty twenty where he

311
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 3: was going to divert the water from the northern part

312
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 3: of California the southern part of California.

313
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 4: Newsom opposed it.

314
00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 3: Obviously, was trying to protect this delta smelt, this little

315
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 3: fish of some sort, and it seems that the protection

316
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 3: really is more of with endangered species than it is

317
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 3: over people. How much merit is there to that is

318
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 3: that in part why the land and the water were

319
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 3: mismanaged well.

320
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 14: As part of my graduate program at New Mexico State University,

321
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 14: I studied the impacts of sediment flow after wildfires on

322
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 14: the endangered HeLa trout. And one of the things that

323
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 14: is really myopic, and I agree with Trump on some

324
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 14: of this, is that Newsome and others are missing is

325
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 14: that if you don't take care of the watershed, if

326
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 14: you don't take care of the soils and the plants,

327
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 14: these kind of devastating wildfires are going to happen. You're

328
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 14: going to end up having sediment in the waterways and

329
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 14: it's going to kill the fish anyway. So not only

330
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 14: the water diversion issue, but how we're taking care of

331
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 14: the land is crucially important. So from what I see,

332
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 14: without politicizing it, I think Trump had some really good

333
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 14: foresight on this one.

334
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 2: Do you think the Los Angeles mayor needs to resign?

335
00:16:57,920 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 14: She looks like she's having a panic attack.

336
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 9: Yeah.

337
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 14: I think there needs to be a lot of scrutiny

338
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 14: on her, on Governor Newsom and others, because instead of

339
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 14: doing what it takes to manage a complex ecosystem urban

340
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 14: interface like that, they've been playing politics. They've been focusing

341
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 14: on identity. Look the woman who gave me this bronze

342
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 14: Smokey Bear Award back in it was two thousand and five,

343
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 14: very competent professional, But in twenty twenty two she became

344
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 14: the DEI director. Back in two thousand and five, we

345
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 14: didn't talk about these things. We just did the job.

346
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 14: It didn't matter what your identity was.

347
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 4: Well, Kelly, doesn't make any sense to me.

348
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 3: How if you know I used to live in California,

349
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,919
Speaker 3: and they've been dealing with this for decades, right, for

350
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 3: a long long time.

351
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 4: This is nothing new.

352
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 3: The Santa Ana wins I was up there, there's nothing new,

353
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 3: you know, when you have Democrat leadership then and I

354
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:45,959
Speaker 3: know we're not trying to politicize it, but you got

355
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 3: to lay at the hands of someone. Are some people

356
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,679
Speaker 3: who are mismanaging the land, mismanaging the water resources. So

357
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 3: how can Gavin Newsom you say, oh, it's a local

358
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 3: water issue, or Karen Bess saying nothing.

359
00:17:58,200 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 4: How is that conscionable?

360
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 14: Oh, it is a political issue. What I mean by

361
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 14: politicizing it is talking points and diversion and all those tactics.

362
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 14: It very much is a political issue, and now is

363
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 14: the time to talk about this. We should have been

364
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 14: talking about this before, like Donald Trump tried to do,

365
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 14: but we need to be talking about this. We need

366
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:15,919
Speaker 14: people like me who are trained in restoration to come

367
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 14: and restore it. And if you look at the maps,

368
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 14: it's not that this is anything unusual in terms of

369
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 14: size of the fires, but the location is what's getting

370
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,639
Speaker 14: all the attention right now. It's obviously burning highly populated

371
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 14: areas and I hope other committees will look at that

372
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,880
Speaker 14: and say, whoa, where are we vulnerable? We better get

373
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 14: our act together.

374
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 2: So they say, this fire started from a backyard fire,

375
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 2: How exactly did it spread so fast?

376
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 5: And why is this one a little unique?

377
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,360
Speaker 14: Well, that's one source. I think maybe one of the fires.

378
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,439
Speaker 14: I've seen footage of people setting fires. It's hard to know.

379
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 14: We're going to people are going to have to investigate that.

380
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 14: But there were studies done in Canada by very very

381
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 14: good researchers that showed that wildfires don't usually spread by

382
00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 14: walls of flame, but at a certain point they do.

383
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:01,880
Speaker 14: Look at that footage right there, you see it. It's

384
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 14: like a snowstorm of sparks. That is what starts the

385
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 14: fires that burn buildings. If you haven't done your defensible space,

386
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 14: if you have vegetation around your house or building that

387
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 14: can catch your house on fire, that's what's going to

388
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 14: cause it. Those walls of flame tend to be short

389
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 14: lived and go through, so you'll see footage like this

390
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 14: where there are walls of flame, but it's not necessarily

391
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 14: that big flame. So people should have been creating defensible

392
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 14: space around their homes well.

393
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:29,880
Speaker 3: As much as they say that not to politicize it. It

394
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 3: seems that they're the ones that played politics with it

395
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 3: by getting all this environmental stuff involved.

396
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:35,959
Speaker 4: But it's just really, really unfortunate.

397
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 3: It's heartbreaking, and we hope they can get people like

398
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:39,880
Speaker 3: you that are actually smart on the issue.

399
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 4: So thank you, Kelly, appreciate it.

400
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 14: Thanks Kelly, thanks for having me on. Well.

401
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 3: Coming up, Joe Biden continues to endanger American lives as

402
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:50,120
Speaker 3: he releases Al Qaeda fighters during resurgence of the terrorist group.

403
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 3: Alie Nazari with the National Resistance Front of Afghanistan joins

404
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 3: US next.

405
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:10,479
Speaker 5: Welcome back to special Report.

406
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 15: The Body and Administration continues to endanger Americans literally on

407
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,919
Speaker 15: a daily basis, whether it's by easing sanctions on Syria

408
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,439
Speaker 15: after the Jahadis took control, or removing the ten million

409
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 15: bounty on the HTS Jahadis leader, funneling US taxpayer dollars

410
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 15: to the Taliban, allowing thousands of criminals, terrorists, and gang

411
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 15: members to cross our borders unchecked, giving George Soros, who

412
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 15: is responsible for pure evil and global destruction, the highest

413
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:43,399
Speaker 15: Medal of Honor or pardoning murderers and banning offshore oil drilling,

414
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 15: and the majority of it was all done in a

415
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 15: week's time. He is not allowing a moment to go

416
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 15: to waste. And to top it off, the Pentagon announced

417
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 15: the release of eleven Yemeni detainees with al Qaeda ties,

418
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 15: including two former bodyguards for Osama ban Laden, during a

419
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 15: time when we are seeing a resurgence of the terrorist

420
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 15: group plotting terrorist attacks against the United States.

421
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 5: While joining us to discuss.

422
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 15: The rise of al Qaida is someone who knows the

423
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 15: group better than anyone, and that is the director of

424
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 15: foreign relations for the National Resistance Front of Afghanistan, Ali Nazari. Ali,

425
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 15: thank you so much for taking time to join the show.

426
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 15: I want to start and just ask you about these

427
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 15: Al Qaeda, these eleven Yemeni detainees that are released now

428
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 15: to Oman. But what are the chances. The expectation, I

429
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 15: would imagine now is to go back and to rejoin

430
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,679
Speaker 15: al Qaeda, which is going to give a boost to

431
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 15: the terrorist group at a time when they're literally plotting

432
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 15: attacks against the West. So how strong is al Qaeda

433
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 15: and how is this going to provide a boost to

434
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 15: their terrorist group.

435
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 10: Well, it's great to be back, Tara.

436
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 12: Regarding the release of al Qaeda, terrorists.

437
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 9: We've seen this.

438
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,880
Speaker 12: It's a pattern in the past few years. Never these

439
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 12: terrorists have been released from Guantanamo or other facilities, they've

440
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 12: returned back to their roots. That they are very much

441
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 12: entrenched in this radical ideology of jihadism and they will

442
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 12: never abandon it.

443
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 10: Right now, the top.

444
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 12: Leadership of the Taliban terrorist group are mostly those individuals

445
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 12: who are serving in Guantana. The same with al Qaeda,

446
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 12: so we will see many of these individuals returned back

447
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 12: to Afghanistan. Al Qaeda is rebuilding itself inside Afghanistan. This

448
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 12: has been happening for three and.

449
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 14: A half years. Their leader is Zawahiri.

450
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,399
Speaker 12: Was in the heart of kabbl in a Taliban guest

451
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,159
Speaker 12: house when he was targeted. The current leaders of al

452
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 12: Qaeda are inside Afghanistan. They've built eight new bases within Afghanistan.

453
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 12: Let me tell you something else, Tara on September eleventh,

454
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 12: two thousand and one. On nine to eleven, al Qaida

455
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 12: was only present in around sixty percent of Afghanistan. Today

456
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 12: they're throughout the country and especially one area they have

457
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 12: a strong base right now in the occupied part of

458
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:15,640
Speaker 12: Pinechaer Valley. This was something impossible for them to achieve

459
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 12: in the nineteen nineties because Pinechaer was free, Northern Afghanistan

460
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 12: wasn't controlled by terrorists. But they're even present inside Pinechaer Valley,

461
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 12: something verified by the United Nations Security Council and their

462
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,920
Speaker 12: report in February twenty twenty four that al Qaeda now

463
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 12: has a base and has arms depots in the Pincher Valley.

464
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 15: Yeah, what you just touched based on our touchdown there

465
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,119
Speaker 15: is the Panchaar Valley with al Qaeda, and we have

466
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 15: video if we can play it there in the control room,

467
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,879
Speaker 15: just the veo of you have Middle East al Qaeda

468
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 15: fighters and they're talking about going to fight the opposition

469
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,879
Speaker 15: in Pancheer and fighting and what that show is to

470
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 15: fight against you guys. And that goes to show what

471
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 15: that al Qaeda does exist, although the Biden administration consistently

472
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 15: isigned to us that it doesn't exist, that is defeated,

473
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 15: that it doesn't pose any kind of threat. And second,

474
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 15: it goes to show what they're saying in that video

475
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 15: is that you guys do exist. Although you just had

476
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 15: Secretary of State Blincoln just in December say that there

477
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,439
Speaker 15: is no opposition to the Taliban. So Yeah, there is

478
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:24,919
Speaker 15: opposition to the Taliban.

479
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 5: They are lined.

480
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,919
Speaker 15: Especially about those two very things. And you guys are

481
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:33,120
Speaker 15: actually making headway and taking out Taliban fighters, are you not.

482
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 12: So? The National Resistance Front of Afghanis for the past

483
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 12: three and a half years has been continuing the global

484
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 12: war and terror because we're fighting al Qaeda. We're fighting

485
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 12: tens of thousands of foreign terrorist fighters inside Afghanis. These

486
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 12: are verified information. The United Nations Security Council came out

487
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 12: in June of twenty twenty three saying that the Taliban

488
00:24:56,480 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 12: are sending al Qaeda fighters and other terrorist fighters to

489
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:01,160
Speaker 12: fight the NRF.

490
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:03,360
Speaker 4: There's a video that you.

491
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 12: Put on your show showing al Qaeda fighters speaking in

492
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:11,879
Speaker 12: Arabic from the Middle East saying We're going to northern

493
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 12: Afghanistan to fight the infidels, meaning the National Resistance Front.

494
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 12: So we've been continuing our struggle against Juhadism just how

495
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,439
Speaker 12: we've been doing it for the past thirty years. I

496
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 12: have to remind your audience, Terra and the American people

497
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 12: in general, we've been fighting al Qaeda and all terrorist

498
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 12: fighters inside Afghanistan for thirty years before nine to eleven. Look,

499
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 12: the late Commander Ahmaha Masoud, the father of the current

500
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 12: NRF leader, Ahmatmasud, was fighting al Qaeda, the talent and

501
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 12: in these terroriscripts before nine to eleven. He was assassinated

502
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,119
Speaker 12: by Osama bin Laden two days before nine to eleven

503
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 12: because he was fighting against it, because he was warning

504
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 12: the United States. However, the Clinton administration ignored the warnings

505
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 12: of the Lake Commander Masud, and we saw nine to

506
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:01,639
Speaker 12: eleven happen because of the US govern meant lack of

507
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 12: attention on this matter. In the past three and a

508
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 12: half years, the leader of the NRF, mister Ahmat Musuit,

509
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,639
Speaker 12: the son of the Lake Commander Ahmachu Musuit, has been

510
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 12: doing the same thing, fighting al Qaeda, fighting Ice, is

511
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 12: fighting the Taliban terrorsts. All these radical jihadists have been

512
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 12: warning the United States government, the Biden administration. However, we've

513
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,880
Speaker 12: been sidelined, We've been ignored, we've been abandoned. And of course,

514
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 12: the United States government sends forty million dollars.

515
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 14: Of cash every week.

516
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:33,679
Speaker 12: To the Taliban terrorist group, which is benefiting al Qaeda

517
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 12: and the other terrorists inside Afghanistan. And we're just seeing

518
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:41,919
Speaker 12: this pattern in the United States that al Qaeda is

519
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 12: deceiving the US government. Taliban is deceiving them. I put

520
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 12: up a video last week showing al Qaeda pledging allegiance

521
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:56,679
Speaker 12: to the Taliban and expressing support for the Taliban. However,

522
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 12: on their vests, these two al Qaeda fighters, they had

523
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:04,120
Speaker 12: IIS flags. So when these fighters all Kainda fighters, because

524
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 12: they're smart now they're very much strategic, when they go

525
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 12: to the United States or Europe, conductor attacks and on

526
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 12: their vests it has ISIS flags. Well, people claim it's

527
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 12: an ISIS attack. However, these fighters are all all Kaida.

528
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,880
Speaker 12: They're just trying to deceive the United States and other

529
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:24,920
Speaker 12: countries in order to prepare themselves for larger attacks and

530
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 12: more sophisticated attacks in the future.

531
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,239
Speaker 15: And that is so important to what you say. And

532
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,399
Speaker 15: that's why I am so grateful that you come on

533
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 15: because what you just said first is the Biden administration

534
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 15: has been lying that there's opposition to the Taliban.

535
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 5: Well, why does that matter?

536
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 15: Because we're continuing to give millions and millions of dollars

537
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 15: to the Taliban and instead of to the opposition that's

538
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 15: fighting it.

539
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:48,160
Speaker 5: We don't have to.

540
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,439
Speaker 15: Be doing that. We don't have to be giving we

541
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 15: didn't have to give the billions of US equipment to

542
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 15: the Taliban because the opposition was asking and there still

543
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 15: has not been any accountability. So they're flat out line

544
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 15: to the American people about any other opposition group that

545
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 15: they could possibly be supporting, and that's a lie. And second,

546
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 15: when you do not understand that al Qaeda exists and

547
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,199
Speaker 15: you say that they do not exist, there is no

548
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 15: terrorist threat. You cannot defeat a threat that you say

549
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 15: does not exist. And I just want to ask you

550
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,920
Speaker 15: about the resurgence of al Qaeda, specifically when it comes

551
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:25,680
Speaker 15: to our southern border, Ali and the terrorist plot that

552
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 15: the cells that they are planning here in the United States.

553
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,879
Speaker 15: And fortunately we only have about a minute left, but

554
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:33,959
Speaker 15: if you can just touch on that, because it's so

555
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 15: critical to understand how al Qaeda poses a threat here

556
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 15: in the United States coming through our southern border.

557
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 12: Well, very briefly, on nine to eleven, al Qaeda only

558
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 12: had around nine hundred to one thousand terrorist fighters inside Afghanistan.

559
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 12: Limited capacity capabilities are on the globe today they are

560
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 12: all over Afghanistan. And this is again verifiable information. We

561
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 12: have hard evidence the tens of things, thousands, all these

562
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 12: al Kaieda affiliated terrorists have received Afghanistan's passports. They are

563
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 12: using Afghanistan's passports to infiltrade into Europe and North America,

564
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 12: especially the United States as refugees. And we've seen terrorists

565
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 12: infiltrade into the United States through the southern border as

566
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 12: refugees and many of them were cut in Los Angeles, Philadelphia,

567
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 12: New York in June of twenty twenty four. And so

568
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 12: we're going to be seeing more terrorists from Afghanistan with

569
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 12: Afghanistan's documentation. These are terrorist fighters from Central Asia, South Asia,

570
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 12: the Middle Leaguest and North Africa with Afghanistan's passport which

571
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 12: was given to them by the Taliban against verified by

572
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 12: the United Nations Scary Council infiltrade through the United Nations

573
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 12: Southern border. The onliest solution is for the United States

574
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 12: to support the National Resistance Front and for US to

575
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 12: contain terrorism and toucy terrorism.

576
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 8: And thank you, thank you so much.

577
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 5: Ali, We'll be right back.

578
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 4: Well, welcome back to Special Report.

579
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 3: Many of you may not be aware that today is

580
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 3: Law Enforcement Appreciation Day, and we hear it. Special Report

581
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 3: certainly back the blue and all we do. Our officers

582
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 3: don't get enough credit for putting their lives on the line.

583
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 3: So today we want to thank them for their service.

584
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 1: And to help us shed some light on many of

585
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 1: the challenges our law enforcement has.

586
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 8: We have Lieutenant Randy Sutton of the Wounded.

587
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 1: Blue, a five oh one C three dedicated to providing support, education, assistance, intervention,

588
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 1: and counseling to officers and their families for incidents that

589
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 1: have disrupted their lives.

590
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 8: Welcome to the show, Lieutenant.

591
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 10: Thank you guys for having me. Thank you Happy National

592
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 10: Law Enforcement Appreciation Day.

593
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 4: Exactly.

594
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 3: We've got to focus on that first, Lieutenant. I mean,

595
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 3: it is Law Enforcement Appreciation Day. Some people don't know that,

596
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 3: and there are at least seven hundred thousand full time

597
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 3: law enforcement officers out there today protecting and serving us.

598
00:30:59,040 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 4: So I want to just.

599
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 3: Give you the floor first here to just address these

600
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 3: brave men and women on such a day as this.

601
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 10: You know I often have as a commentator and being

602
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 10: out in the public regarding law enforcement. I am constantly

603
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 10: having a conversation with people. Randy, I support law enforcement.

604
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 10: I don't know how to show it. How do you

605
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 10: show support for law enforcement? And by supporting the Wounded Blue,

606
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 10: that is one way that you can do it, because

607
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:30,719
Speaker 10: our organization has helped more than fourteen thousand American law

608
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 10: enforcement offsters who've been injured either physically or emotionally and psychologically.

609
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 10: Now I can tell you this that there is a

610
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 10: crisis in law enforcement. The crisis has been brewing for

611
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 10: a number of years. The defunding movement, the dehumanizing of

612
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 10: law enforcement by the Biden administration, by the media, and

613
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 10: by leftist politicians and others, has really taken a toll

614
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 10: on the American law enforcement officers emotional and also physical

615
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 10: well being. The attacks on law enforcement officers last year

616
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 10: were about three hundred and seventy officers shot in the

617
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 10: line of duty, and that doesn't include the assaults. The

618
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 10: assaults last year was around seventy thousand physical assaults on

619
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 10: American law enforcement officers. That's physical assaults. That's way way

620
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 10: up from the way it was five years ago during

621
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 10: the previous administration. The question, of course, is why. Well,

622
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 10: the answer is unfortunately very clear. The disrespect, the dehumanizing,

623
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 10: the defunding. You mentioned there were seven hundred thousand American

624
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 10: law enforcement officers. That is down about two hundred thousand

625
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 10: for what it was just ten years ago.

626
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 1: Absolutely, and I am so happy that you brought this up, Lieutenant.

627
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 1: Those emotional wounds, I feel like most of us don't

628
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: see the invisible wounds of our officers, or sometimes even

629
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 1: the physical ones like you brought up too. They endure

630
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 1: all of these interactions with deadly weapons, having to exchange

631
00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 1: with gangs like Trenday or Ragua's thirteen, it has to

632
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 1: be incredibly daunting. So I want to know how does

633
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 1: the Wounded Blue provide assistance for these types of emotional

634
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 1: and sometimes physical wounds.

635
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 10: Sure thing. So our organization has been around for five

636
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 10: years and as I said, we've held more than fourteen thousand.

637
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 10: My entire team is made up of police officers, former

638
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 10: police officers, active duty and retired who have been injured

639
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 10: in the line of duty, either physically or emotionally and psychologically.

640
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 10: I have officers who have been blinded, officers who are

641
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 10: in wheelchairs, and officers who have faced severe post traumatic

642
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 10: stress and come out on the other side. We literally

643
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 10: save lives, We save careers, We save marriages by providing

644
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 10: peer support, by providing getting people into treatment when they

645
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 10: need it. By we have some amazing resources. I don't

646
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 10: know if you're aware of the of the officer that

647
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 10: was attacked in Ferguson back in August during the protests

648
00:33:55,400 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 10: around Michael Brown's death anniversary. Officer Travis Brown wasyly attacked

649
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 10: not to the ground, suffered a severe traumatic brain injury,

650
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 10: and was in a coma for months. He's just now

651
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:13,359
Speaker 10: beginning to show some signs of activity, and of course

652
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:15,719
Speaker 10: this is devastating. He's got two young children. Well, the

653
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 10: Wounded Blue has stepped up to the plate and because

654
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:22,280
Speaker 10: he's been moved into a rehab facility in Atlanta, helping

655
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 10: his family cope with that, we are giving them five

656
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 10: thousand dollars a month in order to get that family

657
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 10: together for Christmas as well. We made a Christmas happen

658
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,799
Speaker 10: for them. And this family is very, very close and

659
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:38,839
Speaker 10: this is a part of what the Wounded Blue does.

660
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:41,439
Speaker 10: When we have the resources, we help out in any

661
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:45,319
Speaker 10: way possible, whether that is peer support or when we can,

662
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 10: we do offer financial support as well.

663
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, you mentioned the families, and I think we

664
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 3: don't think about the families of police officers, but you know,

665
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 3: it's just the same as our military lieutenant. That officer

666
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:57,799
Speaker 3: goes out the door every day not knowing if he

667
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:00,080
Speaker 3: or she is going to come back home and to

668
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:02,360
Speaker 3: burden the family face is if there is a severely

669
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 3: wounded or even death is tremendous. So talk about these

670
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 3: services to families, and I believe you have an acronym

671
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 3: called seal. A seal strategy is that correct, You got it.

672
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 10: It's support, education, assistance, and legislation. Is our holistic approach

673
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 10: to this problem. Most people, here's part of the issue.

674
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 10: Most people think that if a police officer gets severely

675
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 10: injured in the line of duty, they're going to be

676
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 10: taken care of financially and medically. Well. In some places,

677
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:30,279
Speaker 10: that's true. If you're in New York City, you're going

678
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 10: to get that. But there are many places where officers

679
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:37,879
Speaker 10: have been literally abandoned, thrown away by their cities, by

680
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 10: their governments once they become severely injured or disabled, because

681
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 10: they are no longer of service to their departments. It's heartbreaking.

682
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 10: We actually have a tremendous documentary film called The Wounded

683
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:57,359
Speaker 10: Blue on Amazon dot Com. So there are I can

684
00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:00,359
Speaker 10: tell you heartbreaking story after heartbreaking story about how these

685
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 10: officers feel abandoned and feel a load. And that's why

686
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:06,279
Speaker 10: our motto is so important, never forgotten, never aload. And

Speaker 2: year and continues the fight for American veterans, many of

00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:45,520

00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 4: Glenn, Welcome back to the show.

760
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:48,359
Speaker 16: Hey guys, nice to see you.

00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 10: Well.

762
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:48,880
Speaker 4: Glenn.

763
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:51,200
Speaker 3: I understand that this premiered back in November. We had

764
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 3: you on then and we're having you back now. You

765
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:54,759
Speaker 3: live here in Fort Lauderdale, not too far away. Tell

766
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:56,880
Speaker 3: us what the reaction has been like to this film

767
00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 3: since it came out.

768
00:40:57,719 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 16: Well, crazily enough, I kind of thought we'd get some

769
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 16: negative reaction, and so far we've got none.

770
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:02,839
Speaker 9: Zero.

771
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:05,319
Speaker 16: People are supportive of what we're talking about, supportive what

772
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 16: we're doing. You know, ironically, you just had a guest

773
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:10,400
Speaker 16: on that was talking about police being left behind, and

774
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:14,480
Speaker 16: I've got a story about being harassed if you will,

775
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 16: by the DJ and police involved.

776
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:18,920
Speaker 4: However, I want.

777
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:20,640
Speaker 16: To make this very clear on the front side, I'm

778
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:23,719
Speaker 16: pro cop one. I think the system has broken, and

779
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:25,400
Speaker 16: so we tell that story in the movie.

780
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:26,359
Speaker 10: We tell the story of.

781
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:30,360
Speaker 16: A few other people FBI whistleblower, Nate Kane, Craig Sawman,

782
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:33,360
Speaker 16: Sawyer that's in the involved with child rescue out of

783
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 16: this sex trafficking world and what's happening in our country.

784
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 16: So we've built a movie around problems in the United

785
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:44,080
Speaker 16: States government. We're still the dag of the United States

786
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 16: of America, though, and we still have that American spirit

787
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 16: and that's what we're trying to bring back is hope

788
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 16: for our country, how to make some changes and we

789
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 16: just need.

790
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 10: To come together.

791
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 2: So talk about those problems in the United States government, Well.

792
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 10: It starts at the very top.

793
00:41:57,160 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 16: When you have unlimited power, you can have an unlimited

794
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 16: corrupt and there's a lot of power and corruption and

795
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:05,240
Speaker 16: money money grabbing that's taking place right now that affects

796
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 16: us as citizens who have very little power on our own,

797
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 16: got a lot of power when we come together, though,

798
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:13,799
Speaker 16: and that's the goal for twenty twenty five, for this

799
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 16: movie and for hopefully a lot of people in the

800
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:18,799
Speaker 16: United States. Let's heal some problems that's taking place. Let's

801
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 16: come together and make America great again.

802
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 4: That's right.

803
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:23,600

Speaker 3: you to meet Glynn.

814
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:49,440
Speaker 11: Absolutely, I rack your freedom veteran. Went to Iraq in

815
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 11: the first Surgeon Iraq in two thousand and three. I

816
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 11: was a nineteen year old kid. While deployed Iraq, I

817
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:57,279
Speaker 11: was injured multiple times while performing house raids and during

818
00:42:57,280 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 11: mortar attacks. I really didn't realize this is a very

819
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 11: my injuries. But make a long story short. I came

820
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:04,920
Speaker 11: back with a broken body, and I didn't realize how

821
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 11: broken my mind was. Either had a stroke when I

822
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:09,239
Speaker 11: was twenty five after getting out of the military and

823
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:11,880
Speaker 11: found out how to incmplete spinal cord injury and lived

824
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:14,359
Speaker 11: with the use of braces for over ten years, being

825
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 11: told I'd never walk again and travel the world doing

826
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:19,200
Speaker 11: push ups on two fingers and thumbs only. But Decimmer

827
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:22,880
Speaker 11: twenty first, twenty twenty two, I turned in the closet

828
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 11: and I heard a pop in my neck. I lost

829
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:27,360
Speaker 11: filing for the neck down. I can't feel for midchest now, guys,

830
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 11: but I have done leafs and bounds, and so I

831
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:32,719
Speaker 11: want to think guys like Linn that stepped up and

832
00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:35,880
Speaker 11: gave their all and continue to be a voice and

833
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:38,360
Speaker 11: a mouthpiece just to show the freedom is a free

834
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 11: but guys, guess what sacrifice, service and honor.

835
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:44,320
Speaker 9: That's what we're doing for our service members.

836
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:46,400
Speaker 11: And even though I can't feel for midchest, guys and

837
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 11: I have no I have upper body strength and I

838
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:52,920
Speaker 11: continue to stride every day because of guys like Glenn Baker.

839
00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:56,000
Speaker 2: Well, Josha, first off, thank you so much for your

840
00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:58,759
Speaker 2: service and your sacrifices. For this country. We're coming into

841
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five. There's a new era of hope. We

842
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:03,680
Speaker 2: can all feel it all around. For you personally, someone

843
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:06,920
Speaker 2: that sacrificed so much for this country, what are you

844
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:09,640
Speaker 2: ultimately feeling and hoping for in this upcoming year?

845
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 11: Absolutely well, this last year it was very challenging for me.

846
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:15,960
Speaker 11: Not only that I almost lost my life. I was

847
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 11: five minutes away from passing away. I had a severe

848
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:21,680
Speaker 11: GI tear. Eusophagus is twenty five centimeters and I had

849
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:25,800
Speaker 11: nineteen of cinameters torn. For not during the music video

850
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:28,920
Speaker 11: that Glynn did, I was non verbal. I was riding

851
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:32,520
Speaker 11: on a tablet for thirty three days. But a pierced

852
00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:34,919
Speaker 11: in my heart really came when I got my voice back.

853
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:37,239
Speaker 11: First off, I didn't have a voice of victory. Now

854
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:40,920
Speaker 11: I start in victory and I keep other people how

855
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 11: to have that victory too. Second, a really like a

856
00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:48,680
Speaker 11: crying out of my heart came. That hope is the

857
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:51,400
Speaker 11: heartbeat of a warrior. And so guys, that's what this

858
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:54,880
Speaker 11: is doing. This is not just I have an organization,

859
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:56,440
Speaker 11: but I tell the people I don't want to have

860
00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 11: an organization.

861
00:44:57,400 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 9: I want to be an organism. And I want to

862
00:44:59,080 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 9: breed life.

863
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 11: Want to show people that no matter what you go through, guys,

864
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 11: there is still hope and the Man of Steel is real.

865
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:07,439
Speaker 9: You forbid me, break me, I will stand again.

866
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:07,680
Speaker 12: You.

867
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:08,920
Speaker 4: You are such an inspiration.

868
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:11,240
Speaker 3: I think everybody out there watching it, and so you know, Josha,

869
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:13,359
Speaker 3: I just want to know what does service mean to you?

870
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 4: You serve your country honorably.

871
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:17,360
Speaker 3: These things have happened to you mentally and physically, But

872
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:19,719
Speaker 3: what does it mean to you to serve this great nation?

873
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 2: Me?

874
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:24,560
Speaker 11: I mean, honestly, all I can say. You know, it's

875
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 11: an honor and a privilege to have served in uniform

876
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:30,600
Speaker 11: to now be serving in a different capacity. And guys,

877
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 11: you know, I mean when we make that vow, I'm

878
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:36,319
Speaker 11: saying and the warriors athos you, I'm saying, that's the thing.

879
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:39,040
Speaker 11: I'm never going to accept the feat mission comes first.

880
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:40,759
Speaker 11: You know, I'm saying, I'm never living God, I'm never

881
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 11: going to leave a fallen comrade behind. But that's the thing, guys,

882
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:45,360
Speaker 11: I mean, you're not alone in the battle. So I

883
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 11: want to teach everybody no matter what you go through

884
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 11: in life, you can find hope and there is help

885
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:52,440
Speaker 11: out there to help you.

886
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:55,759
Speaker 2: Well, I'm so inspired by your story and I'm so

887
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:57,880
Speaker 2: glad that you're okay. I want to bring this conversation

888
00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:01,400
Speaker 2: back to all of us, gentlemen. What is the biggest

889
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:03,560
Speaker 2: takeaway that you think the audience will have from this

890
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:04,360
Speaker 2: upcoming film.

891
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:06,640
Speaker 16: Well, the takeaway is going to be We've got some

892
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:09,000
Speaker 16: problems in this country, but it's still the greatest country

893
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:10,799
Speaker 16: in the world. We got a lot of work to do.

894
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:13,279
Speaker 16: But while we're doing that work, you know, one of

895
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:15,520
Speaker 16: the things that I get frustrated with, and you'll probably

896
00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:18,160
Speaker 16: see this as well on social media x wherever you are,

897
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:20,880
Speaker 16: is people saying, well, man, why the heck are we

898
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:23,400
Speaker 16: giving money to Ukraine? Why are we giving We got

899
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:25,719
Speaker 16: homeless veterans, we got people in the street, people that

900
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:28,440
Speaker 16: can't walk again. Well, you know what we're doing is

901
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:30,479
Speaker 16: we're taking fifty percent of the profit of this money,

902
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 16: and that young man right there is going to get

903
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 16: an exoskeleton. We're going to get him on his feet

904
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:37,799
Speaker 16: this week. So what we need to do is be

905
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:40,560
Speaker 16: a part of the solution, not just sit around and

906
00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:43,320
Speaker 16: wind about the problem. Let's go out and fix the problem.

907
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:45,440
Speaker 16: We've got to fix the government that's going to take

908
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:47,200
Speaker 16: some work and going to take some time. But I

909
00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:49,160
Speaker 16: have a choice with what I do every day, and

910
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 16: I choose to be a different Yeah.

911
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:53,319
Speaker 3: What I think is so interesting, Glenn is the subtitle

912
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:56,480
Speaker 3: is Diary of a pissed off American Soldier. But you're

913
00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:59,799
Speaker 3: taking your frustration and turning it as you sit into

914
00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:02,040
Speaker 3: a which is different from a lot of people.

915
00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:03,440
Speaker 4: And you know, we're both artists.

916
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:05,480
Speaker 3: I know that artists have a tendency to want to

917
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:07,840
Speaker 3: create solutions to problems that are just there. We're not

918
00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 3: supposed to just sing about it. We're supposed to do

919
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:11,759
Speaker 3: something about it. So you mentioned you're going to get

920
00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:14,479
Speaker 3: this exoskeleton for Joshua. This is incredible that your fifty

921
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:15,680
Speaker 3: percent of the proceeds are going to this.

922
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:17,040
Speaker 4: How many veterans do you aim to help.

923
00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:20,920
Speaker 16: I've got big dreams and big visions. They're one hundred

924
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:23,319
Speaker 16: and fifty thousand dollars per unit. We want to do

925
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 16: one hundred of those units in the next year. That's

926
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:28,279
Speaker 16: fifteen million dollars right now. And here's the here's the

927
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:31,719
Speaker 16: weird news. The top producers of these exoskeletons in the

957
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:40,120
Speaker 2: bit about that.

958
00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:42,720
Speaker 9: Yeah. I wrote my first book after having a stroke.

959
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:44,680
Speaker 11: Is because some of my life's lessons, I wrote eight

960
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:47,120
Speaker 11: letters to God with these two fingers. That second book

961
00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:49,239
Speaker 11: right there, you're looking at Life After the Fall. My mentor,

962
00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:52,080
Speaker 11: Dave Reaver. He was actually a mentored by Billy Graham,

963
00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:55,040
Speaker 11: and his second book was endorsed by Ronald Reagan.

964
00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:57,319
Speaker 9: He forwarded that book Life After the Fall.

965
00:48:57,480 --> 00:48:58,920
Speaker 11: I used to travel all over the country and I

966
00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:01,520
Speaker 11: show people that you know, falling is obvious, but failure

967
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:03,600
Speaker 11: is optional. And that's what that book is all about, guys.

968
00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:06,560
Speaker 11: It's about taking the crumb and letting that crumb pieces

969
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:08,840
Speaker 11: it just be a beautiful cake that people can rebuild

970
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:09,160

971
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:11,560
