00:00Hello everyone, I am Tommie Lahren along with Joey Jones, Anita Vogel and Jason Chaffetz
00:05and welcome to the Big Weekend Show, the big story tonight.
00:09Attorney General Pam Bondi is deploying DOJ agents to protect ICE agents across this country,
00:15delivering a forceful message today.
00:19Anyone who threatens or assaults our federal officers will be arrested and charged federally,
00:25not in some liberal state court.
00:27Same goes for anyone who's funding and aiding these extremists.
00:32You will be dismantled brick by brick.
00:35We are taking our country back.
00:37I love it.
00:39And President Trump is taking action directing Secretary of War Pete Hegseth to provide all
00:44troops necessary to protect ICE facilities in Portland.
00:48This comes after President Trump signed an executive order aimed at dismantling domestic
00:52terror groups following another attack on an ICE facility in Dallas this week.
00:57Investigators say that the 29-year-old gunman Joshua John intended to shoot ICE agents,
01:02but instead he hit three detainees, killing one.
01:06Now, President Trump promises to go after those donating to far-left terrorist organizations,
01:10some of whom are responsible for attacking ICE.
01:13We're looking at the funders of a lot of these groups.
01:18And, you know, when you see the signs and they're all beautiful signs made professionally,
01:23these aren't your protesters that make the sign in their basement late in the evening because
01:27they really believe it.
01:28These are anarchists and agitators, professional anarchists and agitators.
01:33And they get hired by wealthy people.
01:35They funded millions of dollars to these lunatics.
01:38Joe Jones is at the touch screen with a closer look into these attacks against our brave ICE
01:45agents.
01:46Joey, take it away.
01:47Yeah.
01:48First of all, just look.
01:49This is just since June.
01:50What's the earliest one?
01:51June 21st.
01:52Everywhere from Los Angeles to Portland, all the way through the main, we've had some organized
01:56groups, some individuals like what happened in Dallas that may be radicalized by themselves.
02:02They're attacking ICE agents and Democrats seem to not want to believe this is true.
02:06So this shows you just some of the ones over the summer.
02:08Obviously, some of them you've already heard of.
02:10We want to go through some of them.
02:11So these are the recent arrests over a dozen members of what's called the Elm Fork John Brown
02:17Gun Club.
02:18So this gun club has had its spouse with law enforcement.
02:20They're radical.
02:22If you go to their website, they have a picture of John Brown who famously, you know, had uprisings
02:27and raids, executed people, assassinated people prior to civil war, during the civil war.
02:32And so the idea here is they're emulating that and they're saying it's for immigrants.
02:36It's for Palestinians, for LGTBQ, and they show up to drag queen shows with armed and states
02:43that allow it, you know, trying to show a force.
02:45The problem is they're also provoking violence and enacting violence and preliminarily enacting
02:52violence.
02:52These are the ones that were arrested in Alvarado, Texas.
02:54We'll tell you more about that.
02:56So basically, they went in there.
02:58They ambushed ICE agents.
03:00They vandalized the facility and cars outside.
03:04And they're violent.
03:05That's what they are.
03:06So this is one of the groups that I think should be classified as a terrorist group.
03:10They're not there yet, but we all know that Antifa is, thanks to President Trump.
03:14Then we had Antifa, obviously, in Portland.
03:16And so they've attacked or provoked.
03:19We keep moving through.
03:20These are just some of the attacks.
03:22This group is interesting.
03:23So they went and did the Rose City Counter Info.
03:25This is where they're starting to do things like use the app to track ICE agents, put out
03:29propaganda, say things like no peace for ICE agents, and getting even more violent than
03:36that.
03:37This shows you kind of where we are.
03:38We have a 500% increase in June, 690.
03:41Now we're up to 1,000% increase.
03:43That group, the John Brown Gun Club, they put out flyers at the University of Georgetown,
03:47my alma mater in D.C., quoting the bullet inscriptions for the bullets that killed Charlie
03:53Kirk.
03:53This is a very, I believe, on the precipice of being radical and terroristic group.
03:59And these are groups we have to look out for and why ICE agents are doing things like covering
04:03their faces to stay safe.
04:06Thanks so much, Joey.
04:07Absolutely unacceptable.
04:09I'm glad we got to the bottom of that over on the screen.
04:11All right.
04:11The FBI is digging into the Dallas shooter's background and some shocking discoveries.
04:18Take a look at this.
04:18The shooter used the ICE tracking apps.
04:23Anyone who creates or distributes these apps that is designed to spot, track, and locate
04:28ICE officers are well aware of the dangers that they are exposing to law enforcement.
04:34It's a casting call to invite bad actors to attack law enforcement officers.
04:38It's no different than giving a hitman the location of their intended target.
04:42The media has been amplifying these apps, even as we warned them it would only lead to more
04:48attacks on law enforcement.
04:51Joining us now for our big close-up is the one and only border czar Tom Holman.
04:57Tom, these ICE tracking apps are a favorite tool of the left, and now it's been used to
05:02plan an attack.
05:03So I think the big question is, is the administration going to take more action to crack down on these
05:08apps that are essentially used for stalking you and your agents?
05:14Well, the short question is absolutely.
05:16DOJ and FBI is looking all over it.
05:18But one quick thing on Joey Jones, the John Brown group, let's remember, when they attacked
05:24Alvarado, they shot an officer in the neck.
05:27So every one of those people should go to prison.
05:29But yeah, the apps are tracking ICE agents immediately.
05:35I mean, you've got a representative in Phoenix, Arizona that was reporting to an app where
05:42ICE was currently operating right then and there.
05:44They're on this corner and that corner.
05:46So the FBI is all over this.
05:48I do think that's a form of impediment.
05:50And as far as those who are arming and financing these groups, we have license plate numbers.
05:56We've got videotape of cars delivering shields and gas masks.
06:00They're all going to be held accountable, and the FBI is deep in the investigation as we speak.
06:04Tom, Jason Chaffetz here.
06:06I went out with ICE in Salt Lake City two weeks ago, and it was amazing when the officers started
06:11to tell me what they had to go through and put up everything from apps to being tracked
06:15to being doxxed to their families being threatened.
06:17It is unbelievable what's going out there.
06:20We love these men and women.
06:21But these anti-ICE agitators, they continue to clash with agents, for instance, in Broadview,
06:27Illinois, where several were arrested as the police had to use pepper bombs to control the area.
06:33Now the mayor of Broadview, Katrina Thompson, is saying that ICE is, quote, I can't believe
06:38this, making war on my community.
06:43What say you, Tom?
06:47It's just getting ridiculous.
06:48Look, ICE is enforcing the law.
06:50I look at the numbers every single day on who they're arresting.
06:54They're arresting thousands of public safety threats that are in this country illegally.
06:59Public safety threats.
07:00You would think every mayor and governor would be calling up President Trump and thanking
07:04him for making their community safer.
07:06President Trump told me months ago, zero tolerance, Tom.
07:10He goes, if someone puts a hand on an officer, they're going to jail.
07:13They throw a stone at a vehicle, they're going to jail.
07:15Zero tolerance.
07:16And I've said it a thousand times.
07:18I'll say it again.
07:18If you don't like what ICE is doing, then go yell at Congress.
07:22ICE is enforcing the laws enacted by Congress.
07:24They're appropriated billions of dollars a year to enforce that law.
07:28I look at the data every day.
07:30The vast majority of people in the rest are criminals.
07:32The others are known suspected terrorists, national security threats, final orders who had due
07:37process were ordered and moved by a federal judge.
07:39They're doing what the law tells them to do.
07:42They're upholding the oath they took.
07:43So they need to stop the hatred of ICE.
07:45I'm telling you, it's not over.
07:47I said three months, back in March, on one of these shows, back in March, I said, if the
07:52rhetoric don't stop, there's going to be bloodshed and someone's going to die.
07:56And they have.
07:57And it's unfortunate I'm right.
07:58But you're going to see more if the rhetoric doesn't stop.
08:01I'm glad President Trump, Pam Bondi, Secretary Noem's all taking steps to hold these people
08:06accountable.
08:07Zero tolerance.
08:08Tom, first of all, thank you for being you, for going back into this job.
08:12You're in retirement.
08:13You're ready to put some margaritas back on the beach.
08:16And here you are taking care of our country.
08:18And we need it.
08:19This is a video of a woman confronting an ICE agent at an immigration courthouse in Manhattan.
08:23And it's making news.
08:25She's seen being shoved to the ground by one of the agents.
08:27And according to the New York Times, that agent has been relieved of his duties and an investigation
08:32is underway.
08:33I'd love for you to tell us what you know about this.
08:36Explain any information you have.
08:40Well, look, you know, you can look at that video in different ways.
08:42Yeah, there was a pushing and shoving going on.
08:44They also seem to be tangled up.
08:46Right?
08:46Yeah.
08:47If she's impeding with ICE, then that officer, you know, has a right to use use of force.
08:54But, again, I'm not going to judge it.
08:55I'll leave it up to the independent OPR investigator.
08:58But every time there's use of force, there has to be an investigation anyways.
09:02Every time.
09:03Yeah.
09:03So, you know, I'm sure that officer filed a report.
09:05It will be reviewed by internal affairs officers.
09:07They'll look at the video from 10 different angles.
09:10But this is what happens when people are trying to impede ICE.
09:13This is what happens when they get in their face.
09:16And, you know, again, I'll hold judgment on this officer in this incident.
09:20But you're going to see this happen over and over and over again.
09:24You are not allowed to put hands on a law enforcement officer.
09:27You are not allowed to step in front of him, stop him from doing his job.
09:30So we see an investigation comes out.
09:32But, you know, I have my own opinion on this.
09:35Well, and that's the thing.
09:35I just was at a board showing where Antifa and these groups are literally attacking, trying to kill ICE agents.
09:42Maybe if that wasn't happening, they wouldn't feel the need to take immediate action every time someone got in their face and put their hands on them.
09:48I mean, I think one breeds the other.
09:52Oh, absolutely.
09:53And we've had, I looked at the 18 U.S.C. 111 impediment and assaultive officers.
10:00We're at historic highs.
10:01So that's another message.
10:03ICE says, you know, U.S. attorneys are accepting these prosecutions.
10:06ICE is going to ask for prosecution on anybody that impedes them, hits them, spits on them, blocks their way.
10:15They'll be arrested and charged with 111, and U.S. attorneys are going to take every one of them.
10:19So we'll play it out in court.
10:21But I think the message has been sent.
10:22President Trump says zero tolerance.
10:24The Attorney General of the United States says zero tolerance.
10:26The number of prosecutions for 111 are sky high, record highs, and they're going to get higher.
10:31If they want to impede ICE, they're going to go to jail.
10:34I mean, I can't think of a better thing to say to them and the more factual thing to say to them, if you impede a federal law enforcement officer, that's a violation of federal law.
10:44You will be prosecuted.
10:46And we'll see where it goes.
10:47Yeah, a real turning of the tide there, Tom.
10:50It's Anita Vogel.
10:51Thank you so much for joining the show tonight.
10:53We so appreciate it.
10:54I want to ask you about this crazy story.
10:56In Des Moines, Iowa, school superintendent Ian Roberts was arrested by ICE after he was ordered to leave last year.
11:04Now, some on the left are portraying him as a sympathetic victim, but police found a loaded gun and a knife in his possession.
11:11And this isn't the first time that he has run into trouble with the law, with law enforcement.
11:16He was already facing weapons charges from 2020.
11:19So let me ask you, Tom, how could an illegal alien end up running a major school system?
11:26And, you know, are there others out there like this across the country?
11:29And keep in mind, there was a nationwide search to find this person, to find the right person for the job.
11:36And this is the person they came up with.
11:40That's being investigated right now, but this is just another example I just said a couple minutes ago.
11:45ISIS arrests and public safety threats are here illegally.
11:48This guy already had weapon charges in the country illegally.
11:51You would think everybody would be in support of this, but now you've got people supporting him.
11:55It's just incredible where we are as a nation.
11:59And, you know, I've done this since 1984.
12:01And every day I wake up and I look at these reports, I'm saying, you know, we're in a time now where the police officers are the bad guys and the bad guys are the victims.
12:09But President Trump, strongest president in the history of this nation, is going to turn this thing back around.
12:16He promised American people to make this country safe again.
12:18He promised to take illegal alien public safety threats and national security threats off the streets.
12:23And that's what we're going to do.
12:24We're going to keep President Trump's promise.
12:26ISIS is going to be out there tonight.
12:27They're going to be out there tomorrow.
12:28Over a thousand teams across this nation.
12:31We're not going to stop.
12:32You can hate on all you want.
12:34You can spit on them all you want.
12:36You're going to be arrested.
12:37ICE will continue to do this job every single day.
12:41Tom, I love that.
12:42I would also say, I've said it many times, every time you have one of these mayors, these governors come out, push against ICE, I think you send more agents.
12:49I think you flood the zone even more.
12:51Maybe teach them a lesson.
12:52ICE is there to stay.
12:53But I want to point you to this.
12:55It's an outrageous Halloween display that's not funny at all.
12:58It was found in a predominantly Hispanic neighborhood in Houston, Texas.
13:02It shows two figures dressed in red hats, black shirts, and black masks, hanging from ropes from their necks on a wooden gallow.
13:10And it's also topped with a Mexican flag.
13:13Now, the left is going to say this is just good old free speech.
13:16But given all the hostility and assaults against your ICE agents, what do you think of something like this?
13:25I'm disgusted.
13:27And, look, I'll say it again.
13:29You have the right to protest.
13:31Everybody has a First Amendment right.
13:33I support that.
13:34But when you cross that line, you're going to go to jail.
13:38You're going to be prosecuted.
13:39Look, people need to understand, assaults against ICE officers are 1,000%.
13:43And I've worked with these men and women since 1984.
13:48There are fathers and mothers, too.
13:50There are sons and daughters.
13:51They have children.
13:52They come to work every day, put a Kevlar vest on their chest, and put a gunner on the hip.
13:56That's the tools of their trade.
13:57And they put themselves in danger every single day to make the community safer.
14:03Everybody should be supporting ICE, whether you like the politics of it or not.
14:07Again, if you don't like what they're doing, go scream at Congress, change the immigration law.
14:11But these men and women are patriots.
14:13I've said it the other day.
14:16I've handed too many folded flags to Border Patrol agents, spouses and children, ICE spouses and their children.
14:23These are the finest men and women in this country have.
14:26They don't make a lot of money.
14:27And they're putting their lives on the line to make this country safer for the day.
14:30Protest all you want.
14:31It's disgusting.
14:33But you've got to control the hate or more people are going to die.
14:38That's not a threat.
14:39I'm telling you, I've seen this movie before.
14:41I've been doing this for 41 years.
14:44It has to stop or there's going to be more bloodshed.
14:49Border Czar, Tom Homan, thank you so much for joining us.
14:52Thank you for all that you do.
14:53We certainly appreciate you and all those agents out there doing the Lord's work.
14:58Thank you so much for joining us tonight.
15:02All right, guys, I want to open this up to the table.
15:05That was really moving to me there at the end, Joey.
15:07And I think it's easy for those on the left that are so riled up about President Trump's
15:12zero tolerance immigration policy.
15:14It's very easy for them to just see ICE agents.
15:16And they don't think of them as fellow Americans, right?
15:19They just think of them as this boogeyman that they hate because they hate President Trump.
15:22And somehow they've decided they're for the illegal aliens, even the worst of the worst.
15:26But the point that he brought up, they're enforcing the law that the folks in Congress make.
15:31So why don't Democrats win an election and change the law?
15:35They're not just enforcing a law that the folks in Congress make.
15:38They're enforcing a mandate that the American people gave President Trump when he took office.
15:42You know, there's a lot of semantics when it comes to a landslide victory and overwhelming.
15:47And you can take the numbers and deduct them any way you want to.
15:51I don't have conversations with people of any political affiliation that didn't acknowledge
15:55the problem at the border.
15:57When you get into the nuance, when you feel the layers of that onion back and you find
16:00out that as many people came here illegally during the Biden administration as the two
16:04or three previous administrations before it, the exacerbation of that problem took the
16:09ability to use a surgical tool away and it made a meat cleaver the only thing you can do.
16:14You have to reset the playing field in deportations and in securing the border in order to go back
16:21and do things like DACA or Visa or, you know, decide who should stay and who shouldn't.
16:25I think one thing that happened in this, and I would love to have asked Tom this and I should
16:28have is, I feel like there were two things happening at once.
16:31They were told by the president, take the worst first.
16:34They were also told by the president and his administration, hey, when you get those numbers
16:38up, you need to be doing your job.
16:39So of course there's going to be hiccups along the way.
16:41There's going to be a sob story here, a sob story there.
16:43And I do feel for people at the end of the day, but if you came here illegally and you
16:47broke our laws legally, you can be deported and that's what they're doing.
16:51I think that's a great reminder.
16:52We were just showing that Halloween display and it's so hard to see.
16:56It's so disgusting.
16:57I guess I'm not surprised by it, but you spent time with ICE agents just a couple of weeks
17:02ago.
17:02You see how difficult their jobs are when you're spending time with them.
17:06Is the morale still high, Jason, even with all this hate out there?
17:09Because I feel like on the one hand, you have stuff like this that's disgusting, that's
17:13got to be hard on the morale.
17:15But then on the other hand, you have a Trump administration that has their back 100%.
17:18So did that kind of balance out for those agents you spent time with?
17:22Well, you hit on it, Tommy, because the fact that they have Donald Trump as their president
17:26and they have people like Stephen Miller and Christy Noem and Tom Holman, people like that
17:33in place, buoys them up.
17:35They're really excited about this.
17:36I want to address the Congress thing because I was elected in 2008, same time that Barack
17:40Obama came in.
17:41You know what?
17:42The Democrats had the House, the Senate and the presidency.
17:45And I asked, I was on judiciary.
17:47I asked to be on the immigration subcommittee.
17:50And guess what?
17:51For two years, the Democrats, you know how many hearings we had?
17:55Two.
17:56One was to take a class photo.
17:58The other, guess what we did?
17:59Stephen Colbert came and testified.
18:01You can look it up.
18:02That is the honest to goodness truth.
18:03They could have changed it, but they didn't change it.
18:07And now they all complain about it, but they were part of the problem.
18:10They never addressed it.
18:11And the single biggest thing that changed is Donald Trump locked down that border.
18:15And now they're apoplectic because they can't just bring these people back in.
18:20And they can't win elections either.
18:22Anita, I'm coming to you.
18:23As soon as we come back, we have a jam-packed show, so we've got to move forward.
18:26Lots to cover tonight.
18:28Democrats are pushing midterm conspiracy theories.
18:32As the new poll reveals how voters really feel about the party.
18:35But first, James Comey is in legal trouble after his indictment.
18:40And more questions are being raised over his comments about the Steele dossier.
18:44That's next.
18:45All right.
18:46A federal grand jury has indicted former FBI Director James Comey on charges of lying to Congress
18:51and obstructing a congressional proceeding.
18:54But Comey is refusing to be held accountable for his actions.
18:57My family and I have known for years that there are costs to standing up to Donald Trump.
19:05But we couldn't imagine ourselves living any other way.
19:09We will not live on our knees.
19:11But I'm not afraid.
19:12And I hope you're not either.
19:14My heart is broken for the Department of Justice.
19:17But I have great confidence in the federal judicial system.
19:21And I'm innocent.
19:21So let's have a trial and keep the faith.
19:26Mr. Comey, you earned this one.
19:29The case is tied to Comey's congressional hearing in 2020 regarding his actions during
19:33the 2016 presidential election.
19:36Maddie Rivera is live at the White House with the latest.
19:39Maddie.
19:40Good evening, Jason.
19:41The two-page indictment accuses former FBI Director James Comey of lying to Congress in
19:46September 2020 about a question he was first asked in 2017.
19:49So here's part of Comey's testimony.
19:53Have you ever been an anonymous source in news reports about matters relating to the
20:00Trump investigation or the Clinton investigation?
20:04Never.
20:05Mr. McCabe, who works for you, has publicly and repeatedly stated that he leaked information
20:11to the Wall Street Journal and that you were directly aware of it and that you directly
20:16authorized it.
20:17Who's telling the truth?
20:18I can only speak to my testimony.
20:22I stand by what the testimony you summarized that I gave in May of 2017.
20:26So your testimony is you've never authorized anyone to leak.
20:30And Mr. McCabe, if he says contrary, is not telling the truth.
20:33Is that correct?
20:34Again, I'm not going to characterize Andy's testimony, but mine is the same today.
20:38So this goes back to this 2016 Wall Street Journal article about the FBI probe into the Clinton
20:45Foundation.
20:46An investigation was open to determine whether this information was an authorized leak and
20:50who was the source of the leak.
20:52A 2018 Inspector General's report found former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe made an unauthorized
20:58media disclosure.
20:58But it found Comey was truthful when he said he, James Comey, did not authorize it.
21:03So the report also states that though McCabe told Comey that he and McCabe authorized the
21:07disclosure, Comey did not react negatively, just kind of accepted it and thought it was good
21:12that they presented this information.
21:14Another leak investigation involves Columbia University law professor Daniel Richman.
21:19He's a friend of Comey's who was interviewed by the FBI in 2019 about leaks to the media
21:24regarding the agency's investigation into Clinton.
21:27Comey will be appearing before District Judge Michael Nakmanoff, a 2021 appointee of President
21:31Biden.
21:32Comey's arraignment is scheduled for October 9th.
21:35Jason, back to you.
21:37Maddie, thank you so much.
21:38James Comey is dealing with more than just lying to Congress as prosecutors dig into his
21:43obstruction charges.
21:45This could involve Comey's claims about the Steele dossier.
21:50Were you aware that in December 2016, the CIA tells the FBI they characterized the dossier
21:59as Internet rumor?
22:02I don't recall being informed of that.
22:05Were you ever told by the CIA to be careful with the dossier in Steele that this is not good?
22:13Craft here.
22:15I don't remember ever being told anything like that.
22:19But documents declassified by the director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, show
22:24Comey personally overruled objections by CIA officers to force the Steele dossier into an
22:31intel assessment ordered by President Obama.
22:34That assessment would become the basis for the Russia hoax.
22:39I need it.
22:40There's so much to unpack here.
22:43But this case in moving forward, Comey says he's innocent.
22:47But boy, there's a lot of evidence going the other direction.
22:50Yeah, there's a lot to look at, a lot to unpack.
22:52Like you said, I mean, on the first count, the question is, did he lie to Congress?
22:56I mean, it is, you know better than anybody.
22:57You can't lie to Congress.
22:59You can get into big trouble.
23:00Look what happened to Michael Flynn and a host of others, right?
23:03People go to jail for lying to Congress.
23:06If you work for Trump, you can go to jail.
23:08That's the problem.
23:09Right.
23:10Well, in any case, you can't lie to Congress or a federal official.
23:14On the second part of it, there are still so many questions about the Steele dossier and
23:19how the elite intelligence agencies and law enforcement officials, how they came to look
23:25at this document as, you know, the gospel truth, right?
23:29When a lot of people knew it was really nothing more than a rag.
23:32So I think let's ask him about it.
23:34Let's put him under oath and ask him about it.
23:36And Joey, to your point, if it was Trump, it's a whole different set of standards because
23:41I'm multiple, I was the chairman of the Oversight Committee multiple times.
23:44I went to the Department of Justice and insisted that they prosecute these people and they
23:48never did.
23:49They never lifted a finger, didn't even look at this type of thing.
23:52So it's one set of standards.
23:53And now the left is outraged because, oh my goodness, all of a sudden, somebody is going
23:58to be held accountable.
23:59Yeah.
23:59It's the week of hypocrisy in a lot of ways.
24:01I mean, you look at from Morning Joe to other politicians weighing in on this, almost across
24:06the board, the outrage, the reaction and the defense is, well, Trump's just going after
24:11his enemies.
24:13Okay.
24:13Well, regardless of what his motives are, if the truth is they did things wrongly and
24:18he's directing the DOJ to go investigate it and make a determination on indictment, that
24:23doesn't absolve them.
24:25Trump's motivation or even the DOJ's motivation doesn't absolve them of their wrongdoing.
24:29You're talking about a president who was attacked in every facet of his life, from his character
24:33down to his bank account.
24:35They tried to put him in jail and I guess they're surprised that he didn't just let
24:39that go.
24:40I didn't go to the ballot box and vote for President Trump thinking he wasn't going to
24:43go after these people.
24:44I presumed he probably was.
24:46Now, I voted for him for border policy, economic policy, defense policy, cultural policy,
24:51keep little boys out of little girls' locker rooms.
24:53I voted for him for those reasons, but I didn't worry about this because this is exactly
24:58what they did to him and it'd take a Jesus-like human being to not have a vendetta or a grudge.
25:03And unfortunately, none of us are at that level.
25:06Comey himself set the president here, still dossier, lying defies the court, the Strzok
25:10and Page scandal.
25:11The FBI under Comey was as weaponized and partisan as we've ever seen and, you know,
25:16we're surprised that we're looking into it, trying to right the ship.
25:20Yeah.
25:20No.
25:21Well, I'll tell you why, Joey.
25:22It's because Republicans are always supposed to rise above.
25:24It's always like, we can do whatever we want.
25:26We talked about this yesterday, Jason, on the bottom line.
25:28It's like, oh, Democrats, they can gerrymander the absolute crap out of their maps.
25:33And then Republicans in Texas go, yeah, maybe we want to give this a go.
25:37And then Democrats are like, no, but you can't possibly do this.
25:41Conservatives must always rise above.
25:43Well, listen, we're still rising above, but people are going to be held accountable.
25:47Because I think, to President Trump's repeated point on this, if you don't hold people accountable,
25:52the next time that they're able to do it, they will do it.
25:55They will do it.
25:56And then they'll say, well, no investigations, though, because Republicans must always rise
26:00above.
26:01No, Democrats are cutthroat.
26:02Republicans are cutthroat now.
26:04Get used to it.
26:05Welcome.
26:06You set the table.
26:06Now we're eating.
26:07I don't think this case is actually about Donald Trump.
26:10This is about lying to Congress.
26:13Right.
26:13Everybody on the left will say Trump, Trump, Trump, but it's about lying to Congress, and
26:17somebody's finally going to be held accountable for that.
26:20All right.
26:20Still ahead, as the New Jersey governor's race heats up, Democratic candidate Mikey Sherrill
26:25is in hot water after a bombshell report shows she was implicated in a cheating scandal at
26:32the U.S. Naval Academy.
26:33Plus, gender policy issues are at the center of the Virginia governor's race, and one candidate
26:39is refusing to protect female students.
26:43Information, and they used it.
26:45And the reason why it was just bringing, literally, they were just bringing information
26:48home they weren't supposed to bring home because of the classification.
26:51They were trying so hard to be a good EOD tech that they were trying to study a little
26:54longer.
26:55So their cheating was basically they studied more than they should have, and they studied
26:58outside of school and they shouldn't have.
27:00And so the reason why I bring that up is the only thing I have to compare this to.
27:03And so you're talking about officers in the Navy who are trying really hard to go take
27:07bombs apart and potentially die for a living, getting the book thrown at them because
27:11they studied too much.
27:12And now you have someone that isn't even in the Navy yet that's just getting out of the
27:14Naval Academy or isn't in the real Navy yet, and she's getting punished because she's protecting
27:19cheaters.
27:20I don't know.
27:21I'd love to know the rest of the story.
27:22If she doesn't tell us the rest of the story, we have all the liberty in the world to fill
27:25in the blanks.
27:26If you're running for governor, you chose to be a politician, this information's out
27:30there, you owe it to your constituents to explain it with information, not with, you
27:34know, hyperbole or glossing it over.
27:37Otherwise, the voters decide for themselves.
27:39Jason, this race is a dead heat.
27:42I mean, do you see a Republican governor in the state of New Jersey?
27:45What do you think?
27:45I do.
27:46I think Jack Cittarelli is actually a great candidate, highly charismatic.
27:50He's run in the past.
27:51I think he's got a lot of momentum.
27:53He's got issues on his side.
27:55When you watch the debate, I thought he kicked her butt in that, in that just issue for issue.
27:59And look, if you're, if you're going to run for governor in this particular case, and there's
28:05these accusations in real time, you weren't allowed to go through graduation.
28:10It's not saying I got a clear, clean record here.
28:13She could ask for the lot.
28:14What is she hiding?
28:15And I think that's going to cause pause for a lot of people in New Jersey.
28:19Yeah, it is a good question to ask.
28:20We're also following the governor's race in Virginia.
28:24Republican Winsome Earl Sears is taking a page out of the Trump playbook, rolling out
28:29an ad that hits her opponent, Abigail Spanberger, for refusing to protect girls.
28:34Watch this.
28:36She didn't just vote to let men in girls locker rooms.
28:39She wrote the bill.
28:41Abigail Spanberger is for they, them, not us.
28:46Okay.
28:46Great ad.
28:47Tell me, this really, that reminds me of an ad that we saw during the presidential
28:51election, right?
28:53How big of an issue do you think this is going to be in the race?
28:56It's a huge issue.
28:57Democrats want to avoid it.
28:59They want to ignore it.
29:00They want it to go away.
29:01It's not going to go away.
29:02And I'll tell you why.
29:02Not just because it's so important to protect women and girls in their sports and their spaces,
29:07but also for this reason.
29:10Why should the voters trust you, Republican, Democrat, Independent, if you can't define
29:15what a woman is and where their spaces are and where their sports are, and we don't want
29:18creeps in our locker rooms and in our sports and in our spaces.
29:21If you can't have a common sense approach to that, why should we trust you on complicated
29:26issues like the economy or our safety and security, anything else that the governor is
29:32entrusted to do in taking care of their citizens, if you can't acknowledge the most basic things
29:37of human biology, something so common sense, so simple, if you can't get that one right,
29:42why should we expect you can get anything else right?
29:45So this is going to be an issue for Democrats.
29:47They are beholden to LGBTQ, what I call the Rainbow Mafia.
29:51Until they get off that and get some common sense, they will continue to lose.
29:54Also, I do think the voters spoke on this issue in the last presidential election.
29:58They really did.
29:59All right, coming up next, guys, the disastrous week at the U.N. General Assembly is capping
30:04off with a new revelation about how a Trump administration official was allegedly assaulted.
30:10Plus this.
30:12It was never my intention to make light of the murder of a young man, nor was it my intention
30:18to blame any specific group for the actions of what it was, obviously, a deeply disturbed
30:23individual.
30:24That was really the opposite of the point I was trying to make.
30:27Okay, Jimmy Kimmel is back on the airwaves after making nasty comments about Charlie
30:32Kirk's death.
30:33So how do people really feel about the late-night comics return?
30:40Jimmy Kimmel is back on the air after Sinclair and Nexstar television stations ended their
30:45boycott of his show.
30:46This comes after the Disney adults on the left melted down over his initial suspension.
30:53Disney Plus and Hulu canceled.
30:57Throw you in the bin.
30:58As a parent, do you know how excited I am to never have to give Disney another dime of
31:02my money?
31:03Like, not Disney Plus.
31:05If you want to be down with Disney Plus, then you can go, too.
31:09Since y'all want to cancel people all willy-nilly, then we finna cancel our services all willy-nilly.
31:13With the choices that Disney has made lately, like giving into political pressure and suspending
31:17Jimmy Kimmel, I just can't support them right now.
31:20If you're an adult that watches that much Disney, perhaps there's a problem.
31:26But we wanted to find out if you think Kimmel should be back on the air.
31:30So the big weekend show hit the streets in this week's Talk of the Town.
31:34Do you think ABC was right to suspend Kimmel?
31:39I think his comment was in very poor taste.
31:41I don't think there was anything wrong with the suspension.
31:44It's to let people know that they just cannot say things like that without a consequence.
31:51I think everyone's entitled to their opinions.
31:54And what if someone's to make up lies about an assassination or just ignore the facts?
31:59No, unacceptable.
32:00Unacceptable.
32:01They have an obligation to make sure that they are conveying the truth.
32:03I'm a comedian, and I believe in free speech.
32:06I believe you should be able to say whatever you want to say.
32:08But I don't think you should go out and intentionally lie.
32:11I think he should pay the penalty for what he said was totally wrong.
32:16I think he should be canceled and move on.
32:20And do you think he should apologize for what he said?
32:24Well, I think he came out with an apology.
32:26I'm sorry, but when you follow sorry with the word but, you're not sorry.
32:31He should do more than apologize.
32:33Yes, it was a bad comment what he made.
32:36It wasn't funny.
32:37The ratings were in the dumps at the time.
32:40It was, like, significantly low, and then he probably made them worse, which, you know, he kind of dug his own grave.
32:47Ah, Jason.
32:51So, I have a unique take on this.
32:53I'll give it to you.
32:54I'm actually happy he's back.
32:56I'm happy he's back because I don't want all these people to say they pulled him off the air and he was this great late-night comedian.
33:02He was so talented.
33:03And then Disney, ABC, they pulled him off.
33:05Oh, no, the victim.
33:06I think let him be back on.
33:08He got his little bump from his outrage.
33:10But now I think he's going to just fail because he's not funny and nobody's watching.
33:13I think that's a better mode, a better method.
33:15I think let him just fail on his own.
33:18But what say you?
33:19I think you're probably absolutely right.
33:21I couldn't argue with that at all.
33:23I didn't really watch him.
33:25I don't think he's funny.
33:26I thought the apology was less than sincere, but that was my take on it.
33:32I don't watch him anyway.
33:33I'll keep watching Gutfeld.
33:35You know what?
33:35It is all about the ratings.
33:36I think you guys are right.
33:37Because, you know, the first thing I learned in journalism school at USC, Journalism 101,
33:43is that news is a business first.
33:45Before a news organization can inform or do news, it has to make a profit.
33:50Well, the same with entertainment.
33:52We're going to see when his contract is up in May what the ratings look like and whether ABC wants to renew him.
33:57What do you think, Joey?
33:58I think this is a better way.
33:59Just let him fail on his own.
34:01Bring him back and see if all these liberals who attend Disney as adults,
34:05let's see if they go back and watch him.
34:06Yeah, here's the, if it were my decision to make, I wouldn't have taken him off air over that without being specific,
34:13without saying specifically.
34:14He told a joke that he says was a joke where he said that the guy that shot Charlie was MAGA.
34:21That incites violence towards a group of people with a lie.
34:25It didn't come across as a joke.
34:26It wasn't funny.
34:27I don't think he intended it to be a joke or funny.
34:29And then he kind of tied it into a joke.
34:31So I think if you're going to take him off air, which let's be very specific here.
34:35It wasn't Disney or ABC.
34:37It was affiliates.
34:38It was, it was independent companies that broadcast his show in their area.
34:43Those are the ones who originally did it.
34:44Then ABC followed suit.
34:47Exactly what I thought would happen is what happened.
34:49It lasted for a couple of days a week.
34:50And then he came back.
34:51I thought that's exactly how it would go.
34:53And it was them saying, listen, you got freedom of speech.
34:56You can make fun of tragic things if that's what you want to do.
34:58Don't lie.
34:59Don't lie in a way that makes half the country feel like somebody's going to come after him tomorrow.
35:03Hopefully he learned his lesson.
35:04I'll believe that his tears were genuine.
35:06He probably was upset.
35:07Any human being reflecting on that probably did get upset in a moment.
35:10What will matter is, does it dictate how he acts in the future?
35:14His ratings are up to him.
35:15I'm not going to wish him good luck or bad luck.
35:17They were bad.
35:18They were good for a night when he came back.
35:19Yeah, we'll see if the liberals start watching him again.
35:23I guess, Jimmy, good luck and good night.
35:26But still ahead, speaking of whiners, Gen Z is blaming youngism for their hiring nightmares.
35:34Plus, Turning Point USA's new CEO Erica Kirk is revealing big plans for the future of the young conservative movement.
