NewsTranscript
00:00And welcome to Hannity and breaking tonight, a reckoning and political earthquake now underway in the Washington, D.C. swamp.
00:08The FBI director, Kash Patel, will join us in just a moment to break it all down, because right now, as we speak, the truth is more obvious than ever.
00:18Democrats, deep state operatives in both the Obama and Biden administration, in their DOJs, their FBI's, people in our intelligence agencies.
00:27In other words, deep state operatives, as we have been telling you about all these years, absolutely tried, absolutely failed to, quote, remake our great republic, our constitutional republic, into something truly Orwellian.
00:41The damage is incalculable. And now, thankfully, it is all being exposed. And now it will be corrected.
00:48Now, we have been more right on this show than we ever knew. A lot to report tonight.
00:53For years, they tried to co-opt every three-letter department in our federal government and turn these very powerful institutions against Republicans, conservatives, and especially all things Donald J. Trump.
01:07And finally, tonight, we can report transparency, accountability have now arrived.
01:13Now, we have multiple developing stories tonight.
01:16Stories tonight. John Solomon will join us with the latest bombshell.
01:19For example, one example, confirming that Joe Biden's efforts to hide the family syndicate business dealings with Burisma and another involving Bill Clinton's questionable dealings himself.
01:31And just last night, another shocking allegation of abuse.
01:34As it turns out, former DOJ hack Jack Smith, who attempted to lock up President Trump during his presidential campaign,
01:41was also using the federal government to spy on several U.S. senators and Republicans, of course.
01:48And needless to say, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, not too happy.
01:52Take a look.
01:53Can you tell me why my phone records, when I'm the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, were sought by the Jack Smith agents?
02:04Why did they ask to know who I called agents?
02:09Why did they ask to know who I called and what I was doing?
02:13They knew who he called, where he called from, where the call was received, who he was talking to.
02:20Senator Graham will join us with reaction.
02:22He is rightly teed off.
02:24But let us be clear.
02:26This is ten times worse than anything alleged against Richard Nixon during Watergate.
02:31Yet Democrats, the legacy media mob, they don't really seem to care.
02:35And frankly, many in the media mob were complicit in the cover-up of all of this.
02:41And, of course, responsible.
02:42They were out there night after night, year after year, peddling lies and conspiracy theories like the Trump-Russia hoax.
02:49It was all debunked.
02:50It was all a lie.
02:52No correction.
02:53No apology.
02:54Nothing.
02:55Now, that's because they support a government that targeted their political rivals, that didn't support their political agenda.
03:01Now, that's what they wanted, and they hate President Trump for exposing them.
03:06Take a look at what's happening right now.
03:07Donald Trump is ending this weaponization of our DOJ, instead directing the vast resources of your federal government to improve safety in American cities.
03:17He's arresting gang members, violent criminals, deporting illegal immigrants, especially criminal aliens, and the Democratic Party.
03:24They are seething with nothing but rage.
03:27They're not restoring law and order and safety and security.
03:30Nope, they're supporting defund, dismantle, no bail laws, reimagine the police, and let's send in the social workers.
03:36But today, on Capitol Hill, the Attorney General, Pam Bondi, exposed one Democrat after another to their faces, starting with the congenital liar, Adam Schiff himself.
03:47You're going to love this play we have for you.
03:49Take a look.
03:50FBI Director Patel said there was no case.
03:55And Caroline Leavitt is one of the most trustworthy human beings I know.
03:58So was she, you know, Senator Schiff, if you worked for me, you would have been fired because you were censured by Congress for lying.
04:06You're the Attorney General.
04:08This will be your decision.
04:10Will you support?
04:11You don't have to tell me what is my decision and what is not my decision.
04:14I said you could talk to Director Patel.
04:15And you don't have to try to.
04:16You think you've got a gotcha with Tom Holm and our border czar, who's been out there fighting for our country since Donald Trump took office.
04:25I'm trying to ask you a question.
04:26Regular order, please.
04:27Will you support that request?
04:28Will you apologize to Donald Trump for trying to impeach him?
04:31I guess the answer is you won't support that request.
04:33After you now know that Joe Biden's trying to cover up Hunter Biden's involvement with Ukraine.
04:38This is supposed to be an oversight hearing.
04:41Oversight.
04:42That is restore law and order and bring safety and security to the city of Chicago.
04:48Take a look.
04:49They are going to transfer Texas National Guard units to the state of Illinois.
04:54What's the rationale for that?
04:56Yeah, Chairman, as you shut down the government, you voted to shut down the government,
04:59and you're sitting here, our law enforcement officers aren't being paid.
05:03They're out there working to protect you.
05:05I wish you loved Chicago as much as you hate President Trump.
05:08And currently, the National Guard are on the way to Chicago.
05:11If you're not going to protect your citizens, President Trump will.
05:16Your city has a murder rate five times higher than New York's.
05:23571 homicides last year.
05:26If you were serious about protecting your people, you would be asking this administration for help.
05:34You're saying that we're coming into your state and your city.
05:38We're there to help make America safe and Illinois safe, whether or not you want to.
05:46Now, the attorney general also called out Richard Blumenthal's questionable character.
05:51This was a great moment.
05:52Take a look.
05:53Senator Blumenthal, I cannot believe that you would accuse me of impropriety
06:01when you lied about your military service.
06:05I am not asking you, I am not accusing you of impropriety.
06:10You lied.
06:11How dare you?
06:12I'm a career prosecutor.
06:13Don't you ever challenge my integrity.
06:17I have abided by every ethics standard.
06:20Do not question my ability to be fair and impartial as attorney general.
06:26Wow.
06:27Checkmate again.
06:28And last but not least, Attorney General Bondi also embarrassed Alex Padilla.
06:32Most people have probably already forgotten about this lawmaker.
06:36Remember the guy from California?
06:38The reminder, he was a senator dragged out of the DHS press conference while getting physical
06:44with law enforcement after rushing toward Secretary Noem.
06:48Take a look.
06:49Attorney General Bondi, you are the attorney general of the United States.
06:53Director Patel reports to you.
06:55Do you believe he's doing a good job?
06:57Yes or no?
06:59I believe.
07:00The secretary, the video.
07:01Oh, that was on video.
07:03That video has been released, I believe.
07:06I would say she characterized it right.
07:08I agree with her.
07:09Anyway, this was a master class in calling out hypocrisy on the left.
07:13Unfortunately, over the past two decades, the Democratic Party has now morphed into from
07:18a from a liberal organization into a group of far left bullies, radicals who only care
07:24about one thing, political power.
07:27They are motivated by one thing, rage and hatred towards all things.
07:30President Trump and thanks to the president, the attorney general, the FBI director, Cash
07:35Patel, who will join us in a minute.
07:37Thankfully, the rule of law is being restored in Washington, D.C.
07:41Here with reaction, the U.S. deputy attorney general, she he works hand in hand with Pam
07:47Bondi, Todd Blanche.
07:48I know you're in Chicago with Cash today, so I know you probably didn't see that.
07:53I hope I hope we were able to catch you up on the day's events.
07:56Hi, hey, Sean.
07:59Yes, I was in Chicago and I did get caught up.
08:03I was so proud of of the attorney general today.
08:05She did a phenomenal job representing everything that we're doing at the Department of Justice.
08:10And and it was just you've already said it, but it's true.
08:13The the these senators were going after the attorney general after they refused to open
08:18the government, they refused to open the government.
08:21And yet they're going after her for these random attacks that have nothing to do with
08:25oversight. And I just I just loved watching her do do what she did today, making making
08:30President Trump look good and really making them realize what major errors they're making
08:36right now and the way they're running this country.
08:39OK, so as the attorney general pointed out, you have a homicide rate, murder rate five times
08:45higher than New York City in Chicago.
08:47I mean, we see the stats every weekend.
08:49We've been scrolling names on this program since 2009, five hundred and seventy one dead
08:55since J.B. Pritzker, governor, over four thousand people dead, shot, killed.
09:02If a state will not maintain law and order and safety and security, a prerequisite towards
09:10pursuing happiness, what is the role of the federal government?
09:13Well, the role is to do exactly what we're doing, Sean.
09:18And President Trump has promised that if you live in a neighborhood in this country, you
09:22will be safe. And that's what we're doing in Chicago.
09:24And it's disgusting to see the mayor, to see the governor criticizing men and women of law
09:31enforcement who are out there trying to make those communities safe again.
09:35You have a mayor in Chicago who's establishing ice free zones, essentially establishing places
09:41where illegal aliens can be harbored.
09:44That's a crime.
09:45And you have men out there in gangs putting putting putting putting on on people's heads.
09:52They put a price on ice leaders heads for their capture or kill.
09:56That's also a crime.
09:57And so President Trump is doing exactly what the American people expect him to do.
10:02And Cash and I were out there today and we were encouraging the leaders of our federal law
10:07enforcement partners to keep on doing what they're doing, that they had the support of
10:11Attorney General Bondi, of the president and of everybody in Washington, D.C.
10:15And that's why that's why we were there today.
10:17You heard about the reports that when ICE officials were surrounded by 10 cars and one
10:23armed individual and shots were even fired in that incident, that when they they sought
10:29out local assistance from law enforcement, that there might have been a stand down order
10:34given.
10:35It was reported on Fox News Digital.
10:37Have you been able to confirm that?
10:39Is that something that that you believe the DOJ should look into?
10:45Oh, yes, absolutely.
10:47We should look into that.
10:48And we are when when the director and I saw that and the attorney general saw that report.
10:53That's when when we booked a flight to Chicago.
10:55And so, of course, we have to look into that.
10:58And it is so disturbing.
10:59And, Sean, this is not an indictment of the local cops to a man and woman.
11:05They want to help us.
11:06They want to be there protecting their citizens.
11:08This is an indictment of the leadership of the mayor, of the governor.
11:12And they are stopping they are stopping law enforcement doing their jobs.
11:16And imagine being a law enforcement officer who's not getting paid because the Democrats
11:21will not open this government, being boxed in by multiple cars and learning later that
11:27leadership told the law enforcement to back off and not respond.
11:31That's what happened in Chicago, allegedly.
11:34And you better believe that we're looking into it.
11:36That should never happen in this country.
11:37It should never happen in Chicago.
11:38It shouldn't happen in any major city.
11:40And if it did happen, there will be consequences.
11:45All right, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, we appreciate you being on the program.
11:49As you might have noticed, you're not hearing any new Russia collusion hoaxes or seeing midnight
11:55raids at the home of outspoken politicians.
11:59You're not seeing fake charges being stacked against political rivals from cherry-picked
12:03grand juries, Catholics, pro-life activists, you know, parents that are upset with school
12:09boards and at school board meetings and not being treated like domestic terrorists.
12:14Instead, this is what the DOJ and FBI have been up to under President Trump.
12:18Take a look at your screen.
12:2023,000 violent criminals arrested.
12:24That is a 91% increase over last year.
12:27170 gangs have been totally dismantled.
12:311,500 child predators have been arrested.
12:344,000 children have been rescued.
12:37125 million lethal doses of fentanyl have been removed from our streets.
12:42And the FBI is just ramping up after what was a terrible number of years under Biden.
12:49And they're understaffed and undermanned.
12:51But they're getting the job done.
12:52Here with more, FBI Director Cash Patel.
12:54Beyond impressive.
12:56How do you have a 91% increase in such a short period of time?
13:00Does that mean that the last FBI was not working?
13:03Or are they just working going after Trump?
13:06It's really simple, Sean.
13:07The weaponization of law enforcement is over.
13:09The American people gave President Trump a mandate.
13:12And President Trump gave me, as his FBI director, a mandate as well.
13:16Go crush violent crime and defend the homeland.
13:18And when you let good cops be cops, like the cops in the FBI and the local and state police
13:22officers around this country, they do their job.
13:25They get the mission done.
13:26As you relayed these stats, this is just eight months on the job, Sean.
13:30We are up double digits on every metric of consequence when it comes to crushing violent crime.
13:35Finding kids, seizing fentanyl, arresting violent offenders.
13:39We haven't even gotten into our counterintelligence and counterterrorism work, which is ongoing
13:42at levels that this country has never seen before.
13:46But that's the beauty of these officers and agents.
13:48This is the work they wanted to do.
13:50And when you don't force them to politicize law enforcement and lie to federal courts to
13:54attack your political opponents and get secret search warrants and go spy on members on Congress,
13:59they get to go out into the streets and safeguard the community.
14:02Operation Summer Heat was our flagship program that the FBI led.
14:06And these are the results when you put cops on the streets and let them do their job.
14:11Can you explain?
14:12I mean, you went to Chicago today.
14:14I mean, how does Chicago have a homicide rate five times that in New York City,
14:20which does not particularly have a stellar record itself?
14:23So you're trying to help the people restore law and order and so they can be safe and secure,
14:29as I said to Todd, so they can pursue happiness, you know, and you need law and order as as a
14:35foundation, as a prerequisite.
14:38What did you see there?
14:39What did you learn there?
14:40Except that you have a governor and a mayor that just don't believe in law enforcement.
14:45Apparently, they believe in that defund, dismantle, no bail, reimagine philosophy.
14:49We are taking the juggernaut that is demolishing the weaponization of law enforcement and bringing
14:54it to places like Chicago.
14:55When I was there today with Todd, we learned that the Chicago city streets have 110,000
15:00gang members.
15:01That's right.
15:01You heard me right.
15:02They had 1,200 shootings this year alone, 360 homicides.
15:07When politicians choose to side with those metrics and not their citizenry, thank God we
15:12have President Trump and this Department of Justice and this FBI going in there and crushing violent
15:16crime and President Trump sent us into these cities quietly to set the stage, to set up
15:20for the National Guard, to see the success that we saw in Washington, D.C., in Memphis.
15:25The FBI has been leading the charge in every single one of these streets because we know
15:29how to gather ground level intelligence and we know how to put handcuffs on the bad guys
15:32and we know that we have the backing of this administration and most importantly, the
15:36agents at the FBI know that they have the backing of the American people and their
15:40government.
15:40Can we talk about, and Lindsey Graham is coming up and he was very angry during the
15:47hearing today and I don't blame him.
15:49We had Jack Smith spying on elected United States senators and representatives and they
15:57knew who they were calling, where they were calling from, where the person was receiving
16:02the call, who was receiving the call.
16:04You have fired the agents that were involved in that operation.
16:08What can you tell us about it?
16:10Sean, I want to peel this onion carefully.
16:12Look, they put this information, they, those that weaponized the FBI and prior leadership
16:17at DOJ and FBI, they took this information where they subpoenaed eight sitting United States
16:23senators, put it in a lockbox, put that lockbox in a vault and then put that vault in a cyber
16:30place where no one can see or search these files.
16:32They're called restricted access and prohibited access.
16:36Restricted access means some people get to see it.
16:39Prohibited access, you put it in there when you want to hide it from the world and that
16:42takes the authorization of the attorney general and the director of the FBI.
16:46So not only did they weaponize this law enforcement, but when we got in there and when I got in
16:50as the FBI director, from my experience as Russiagate, I knew where to look and what rooms to open
16:54and what doors to kick down.
16:56And that's what we did.
16:57We found this information to expose the politicization by Jack Smith and the prior Department of
17:02Justice.
17:03I mean, just think about it.
17:04Eight sitting United States senators, phone records were gathered and subpoenaed through
17:09the grand jury process, and it was buried and wormholeed in the hope that no one would
17:14find it.
17:15So we're just scratching the surface here, but accountability is coming.
17:18You're darn right I fired those agents.
17:19You're darn right I blew up CR-15, the public corruption squad that led the weaponization
17:24at the Washington field office.
17:26We're just warming up, but we are running our investigations to the ground.
17:30We are finding every single person involved.
17:32We will not leave a single room locked.
17:35We will go in through all the prohibited access requirements, and we will find the material
17:40and show the American public, like we have done in this FBI, more transformative and transparent
17:44than any in the U.S. history, to bring accountability to the American people.
17:47And we will work with our partners in Congress who should be furious at the prior administration's
17:52leadership and weaponization and singular politicization of law enforcement.
17:56The American public sees what we're doing, Sean, with the stats you just read off in the beginning.
18:00They see what we're doing here to unseal the vault and show the world how the deep state
18:06actually operated.
18:07It's not a Republican fiction.
18:09This is what Donald Trump was put in place to do, and I'm honored to be his FBI director
18:12to lead this charge.
18:13And the men and women at the FBI, we're all in on this mission.
18:16Director Patel, a 91% increase in arrests for violent crime makes Americans safer and
18:23more secure, and they deserve that from their government.
18:27That should be a prerequisite.
18:28Well done.
18:30We appreciate you getting to the bottom of it and your transparency and your availability.
18:34We appreciate your time, sir.
18:37All right.
18:37And coming up, we have more breaking news tonight.
18:39The CIA director, John Ratcliffe, has now declassified what is a major report that details
18:45shocking allegations about Joe Biden.
18:48Joe Biden knew all about Zero Experience Hunter, knew all about Burisma, while John Solomon has
18:54all the details.
18:55Also, a very, well, let's say, worked up.
18:58Senator Lindsey Graham demanding answers about why he was spied on, surveilled by Jack Smith.
19:04He'll give us his take as Hannity continues tonight.
19:10More major breaking news tonight.
19:12The CIA director, John Ratcliffe, has just declassified a 2016 intelligence report with
19:18a shocking allegation about Joe Biden.
19:20The report centers around Biden's infamous 2015 visit to Ukraine.
19:25We've talked about it a ton on this show.
19:27That's the one where he threatened to withhold a billion dollars of aid if a prosecutor by the
19:32name of Victor Shokin wasn't fired.
19:34You may remember.
19:35Take a look.
19:35I had gotten a commitment from Poroshenko and from Yatsenyuk that they would take action
19:43against a state prosecutor, and they didn't.
19:45So they said they had, they were walking out to press conference, said, no, I said, I'm
19:48not going to, we're not going to give you the billion dollars.
19:52They said, you have no authority.
19:53You're not the president.
19:54The president said, I said, call him.
19:56I said, I'm telling you, you're not getting a billion dollars.
20:00I said, you're not getting a billion.
20:01I'm going to be leaving here.
20:02And I think it was, what, six hours.
20:04I looked at it.
20:04I said, I'm leaving in six hours.
20:06If the prosecutor's not fired, you're not getting the money.
20:09Oh, son of a.
20:11Got fired.
20:12Here with all the details, founder, editor-in-chief, chief investigative reporter, justthenews.com,
20:19John Solomon.
20:20Oh, turns out, based on this declassification, that Joe Biden knew all about what was happening
20:26in Ukraine, knew all about zero experience, Hunter, no experience in energy, oil, gas,
20:32coal, or Ukraine getting paid millions.
20:36And he benefited from it, according to the laptop.
20:38What do you know?
20:40Yeah.
20:40Well, what we know now, thanks to CIA Director John Ratcliffe, and quite frankly, the culture
20:45of transparency that Kash Patel, Pam Bondi, Tulsi Gabbard, alongside of Director Ratcliffe
20:50have created, we're getting a complete picture.
20:52We now know that not only did the Biden family know that Ukrainians thought they were working
20:57with a corrupt company, we knew our own intelligence community knew that what Hunter Biden was doing
21:03in Ukraine was compromising American agenda, stopping the anti-corruption message that America
21:10was trying to sell to Kiev from actually succeeding.
21:13The Ukrainians were saying, hey, Joe Biden's created a double standard.
21:16He's telling us to clean ourselves up, and his son's working for a dirty company.
21:19They tried to put that in an intel report to disseminate to policymakers and intelligence
21:25agencies around the country.
21:27And Joe Biden's national security team went over to the CIA and said, ah, we don't want
21:31that distributed.
21:32Now, this was a legitimate intelligence report.
21:35It met all the standards of the intelligence committee for good reporting.
21:38But Joe Biden's team was able to get it basically suffocated.
21:42It never saw the light of day.
21:43It didn't see it in 2016, when it could have been helpful to our policymakers trying to deal
21:47with Ukraine before the 2016 election.
21:50And more importantly, for President Donald Trump, in 2019, when there was an impeachment
21:54trial, this was clearly what we would call Brady material, exculpatory material that would
21:59have been very beneficial to Donald Trump at his impeachment trial.
22:03The CIA and the U.S. government didn't produce it there either.
22:07They kept this from the American people during one of the most consequential impeachment trials
22:11of our lifetime.
22:12So we now know the secret's out.
22:14Everything Joe Biden told us, that it was a conspiracy to think his family was a conspiracy
22:19theory, think his family's doing anything wrong.
22:21His own government knew that his son was involved with a corrupt company, and it was hurting
22:25the American public and American policy.
22:29John, more great reporting.
22:30And we will have you back tomorrow, because you will have more breaking news.
22:34You have given us a heads up.
22:36I tell everyone, pay close attention.
22:38John Solomon, thank you.
22:39All right.
22:39Now, today on Capitol Hill, Attorney General Pam Bondi appeared before the Senate Judiciary
22:44Committee.
22:45We showed you the highlights earlier.
22:47But here's one more clip.
22:48You can't miss South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham asking the Attorney General why he
22:54was spied on by Jack Smith.
22:56Take a look.
22:57Can you tell me why my phone records, when I'm the chairman of the Judiciary Committee,
23:03were sought by the Jack Smith agents?
23:08Why did they ask to know who I called and what I was doing from January 4th to the 7th?
23:15Can you tell me that?
23:16No, Senator.
23:18And there were eight senators in total.
23:20Yeah.
23:21Do you think that was an abuse of power?
23:23Senator, I cannot discuss whether there is or is not an ongoing investigation.
23:27If I may add one thing, they also wasted $50 million on what you just described, trying
23:34to put President Trump in jail.
23:37Senator Graham joins us now with more.
23:40You know, John Solomon characterized it last night as an enemy's list.
23:44Do you feel like an enemy?
23:45Well, here's what I want people to understand.
23:49We have checks and balances in our country.
23:51I was the chairman of the Judiciary Committee in January of 2021.
23:57I made phone calls to a lot of people to find out what I should do as a senator regarding
24:02certifying the election and whether or not as chairman of the committee, we should have
24:06hearings and to find out that Jack Smith in 2023, 30 months after the fact, wants to know
24:14who I called and where they were at and where I was at is beyond unnerving.
24:19And whether you like me or not or agree with my politics, it should bother you greatly that
24:24a United States senator would be his phone records or her phone records would be subpoenaed
24:29by the FBI 30 months later with no reason to believe I'm involved in any crime.
24:35It is really an abuse of the process.
24:37But here's what your viewers need to understand.
24:40Trump and November the 15th, 2022, two years after the 2020 election, said he would
24:49run for president.
24:50He announced he's going to run for president in 2022 for the 24 election.
24:56Within eight months, 91 indictments were levied against him coming from New York, Atlanta,
25:04Washington, D.C., and Florida.
25:0691 felony charges against Donald Trump.
25:09Here's what I believe.
25:10If he had never announced he was going to run for president, none of this would have happened.
25:15They were trying to destroy his comeback.
25:17This was all orchestrated by Jack Smith, Alvin Bragg, Fannie Willis, Letitia James, to destroy
25:25this man so he could not win in 2024.
25:28I've seen this movie before.
25:30I am going to look at what happened to me and my fellow senators.
25:34My lawyer, John Kennedy, will be on next.
25:37And if they did this without good reason and without cause, I'm going to sue the crap out
25:42of these people.
25:42Are you talking about suing Smith directly?
25:46Whoever I can sue.
25:48On behalf of the future of people who will come after me, we cannot allow the abuse of
25:55power to go unannounced.
25:57I mean, unchecked.
25:58One guy went to jail for a year in Crossfire Hurricane.
26:02Comey is finally being looked at after all of these years.
26:05If they don't pay a price now, they'll keep doing it.
26:08But I just want you to understand, from the time President Trump announced he was running
26:12for president in 2022, by 2023, there were 91 indictments against him for a bunch of
26:19BS.
26:20Alvin Bragg brought felony charges against Trump for misdemeanors combined, and nobody in the
26:26history of Manhattan had ever been charged under that theory.
26:29Jack Smith released a document about why he thought Trump was guilty in October, right
26:36before the election, violating protocol of the Department of Justice.
26:40And October the 24th, about two weeks before the 24th election, Jack Smith released to the
26:46public his brief regarding the allegations against Trump.
26:50Trump is charged with compromising classified material.
26:55Hillary Clinton took a hammer, her people did, to the hard drive to destroy it and bleach
27:00bit to wipe away evidence of her wrongdoing.
27:03And she didn't get charged with anything.
27:05This stinks to high heaven.
27:07I'm tired of it.
27:08God bless Dan Bongino and Kash Patel and Pam Bondi.
27:14We've got new people in town to clean this mess up.
27:17And my goal is not to do this to Democrats, to make sure it's never done to anybody in the
27:22future.
27:23And those of us that were wronged, if we were wrong, pay a price.
27:27Pay a price.
27:28They did use the dirty dossier in 16, both pre-election and they, they wanted a new Intel
27:34report.
27:35They didn't like the real Intel report to sabotage an incoming president.
27:38They pre-bunked the very real.
27:43Trump administration revives English language requirement for truck drivers.
27:47Transportation Secretary Duffy cites safety concerns reversing Obama-era policy that relaxed
28:02enforcement.
28:04The Trump administration on Tuesday took steps to begin enforcing a law that requires truck
28:09drivers to speak English.
28:10Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy was in Austin, Texas, where he signed an order to
28:17direct the Department of Transportation to enforce the law.
28:23Duffy framed the move as a safety issue for America's roadways.
28:29For too long, misguided policies have prioritized political correctness over safety of the American
28:35people, Duffy said.
28:36Under federal law, a driver must read and speak in the English language sufficiently to
28:44converse with the general public to understand highway traffic signs and signals in the
28:49English language to respond to official inquiries and to make entries on reports and records.
28:56The move came after President Donald Trump signed an executive order on April 28th directing
29:01the Department of Transportation to include English literacy tests for our truckers.
29:08You might not know, but there's a lot of communication problems between
29:12truckers on the road with federal officials and local officials, as well as which obviously
29:18is a public safety risk, White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt said at the time.
29:23So we're going to ensure that our truckers, who are the backbone of our economy, are able to
29:28speak English. That's a very common sense policy.
29:33Before 2015, more than 99,000 drivers had English providence violations and a thousand were taken
29:40out of service, Duffy said. Many of those drivers were given a slap on the wrist, he said.
29:46English is the language of opportunity in America, the secretary said, allowing drivers who
29:52cannot read stop signs or understand police officers instructions to operate an 80,000
29:58pound big rig threatens the safety of every American on our roadways. Moving forward,
30:04truckers would be taken out of service if they are pulled over and found unable to speak English.
30:08Tensions flare at school board meeting after a trans athlete wins multiple track events.
30:24A biological male beat out 7th grade females in multiple events at the track meet recently.
30:32Parents and residents clashed at a school board meeting in Chicago on Monday after a trans junior
30:37high school student won multiple events at a local track meet.
30:43The Naperville 203 community school district board meeting was at times contentious with
30:48roughly 100 people in attendance split between the main room and an overflow viewing area.
30:57Those in support of the trans athlete waved the blue, pink and white striped transgender flag
31:01while those advocating for athletes to compete against people of the same biological sex
31:05held signs reading protect girls sports and defend title IX, a federal civil rights law that prohibits
31:13sex discrimination in education. The controversy centred around the biological male who competed in
31:207th grade track meets against biological females at Naperville conference meets with attendees at the
31:26meeting sharply divided on the issue. These situations place feelings over reason and force other
31:34students and families to participate in something we all know is a lie, parent Mike LaBelle said.
31:41Naperville resident Doug McGregor said that there is a hidden political agenda behind district policies.
31:49Many of us knew then the achievement gap was just a children horse for DEI's real objective,
31:55pronouns and the radical LGBTQ plus agenda, McGregor said.
31:58Naperville parents will spend literally tens of thousands of dollars on sports throughout their
32:04daughter's lives, travel teams, coaches, summer camps, traveling to tournaments and meet etc.
32:11And when her daughter steps up for her chance to win in a state championship or medal, he said she'll
32:16lose to a biological male that once in a lifetime moment gone because of DEI's political agenda.
32:22Those defending the trans athlete include Dorothy Powers, a parent of six who is non-binary.
32:30Powers argued that forcing students to compete in a gender category that does not match their identity
32:35harms their personal development.
32:40When a student is forced to compete in a gender with which he or she does not identify, education is a choice.
32:47Powers said, America began providing public education in 1635.
32:52Will Naperville continue the proud American tradition of forward progress or try to justify
32:58exclusion for those who are non-binary of course? I include, I encourage inclusion.
33:03Parenting Thompson said the controversy is not truly about races or a specific athlete,
33:08but rather part of a broader effort to target transgender students.
33:12Don't be fooled, it was never about race and it was never about an athlete, Thompson said.
33:18This is an attempt to further marginalize the group and tell them that they don't belong,
33:22that they aren't good enough.
33:26Awake Illinois has filed a civil rights complaint against the district with the Education Department
33:31Officer for Civil Rights alleging a violation of Title IX.
33:37They called on federal funds to be withheld from the district,
33:40which it says receives $8 million and $9 million in federal grants annually.
33:46The complaint is part of a broader effort by Awake Illinois, which previously filed the
33:51similar Title IX complaint against other districts and the Illinois State Board of Education.
33:57Shedden Adcock of Awake Illinois also spoke out at the meeting.
34:03Now in 2025, you've got boys stealing girls victories.
34:07Leaving young girls subbing on the tracks, Adcock said.
34:10This isn't inclusion, it's oppression.
34:14Meanwhile, Lauren Herby said that in a solution,
34:17may be to give trans students a different class of sports to compete against one another.
34:21But I think for women, I don't think we stand a chance against a male, she said.
34:27I know a lot of these girls practice their entire life to try to get a scholarship,
34:31and there's a lot of lost opportunities, so I just wanted to come and support women in women's sports.
