NewsTranscript
00:00And welcome to Hannity, and tonight, the two most radical, extreme, well, frankly, dangerous
00:07far-left politicians ever nominated by a major party are hiding in plain sight in front of
00:14friendly crowds of supporters, and they're cheering.
00:17Crowds aren't as big as they're letting you think.
00:19Anyway, you got Harris and Walz reading their speeches from scripts likely that other people
00:24wrote.
00:25They take zero questions.
00:26There are no interviews, no press conferences.
00:29No town halls, no impromptu gaggles, no television hits, no appearances, not even on friendly
00:35venues like MSDNC, which is pretty much most of the media.
00:40Since her coronation, Kamala has only gone off script one time for a 30-second word salad
00:46about the return of American hostages.
00:49It was around 12, 1 o'clock in the morning.
00:52That's it.
00:53Now, neither Kamala nor Tim have been asked about their radical positions, them in their
00:57own words, the alleged subsequent flipping and flopping.
01:01But we don't even know for sure if they flipped and flopped, because we only heard that from
01:05their campaign, and that was only after Harris was the presumptive Democratic nominee.
01:11That's called an election-year conversion, by every definition.
01:15Now, neither candidate has been asked about their radical past, radical statements or
01:19their votes or their radical beliefs or policy positions.
01:23These positions are not even on Kamala's website, which is pretty unprecedented.
01:28Neither candidate has been asked to explain their track record.
01:31They've not been asked to defend radical statements they've made.
01:34The state-run media mob, they don't seem to mind.
01:37In fact, they actually seem to prefer it all this way.
01:39After all, the media created their own adoring fantasy about the Democratic ticket, and they
01:45would hate for Kamala or Tim to get in the way of all that.
01:49Remember in 2007 and 8, I said, journalism in America is dead and buried.
01:54I had no idea how right I was.
01:56Take a look.
01:58This is America's dad, America's football coach, America's-
02:02She called him Coach Walt.
02:03Yeah, Coach America's teacher, and the teacher that's cool enough without trying to be cool.
02:09She was John Wayne last night.
02:11She was a leader, a leader, and she was clear that she was the boss.
02:16Walt appears to fit the all-American definition of a man from middle America.
02:20He really has that perfect backstory.
02:22He also has those rural roots.
02:24I sort of thought in my head, you know, this guy, he really is kind of a rural American
02:30success story.
02:31A lot of people have noticed the sort of down-to-earth, likable quality to him.
02:36A number of people that I have spoken to throughout this process, they have said that he is just
02:40a blast, that he is fun to be with.
02:42This ticket, the vice president and the coach, for those considering voting for the ticket,
02:47giving them the power to think that they're participating in something that will put a
02:52smile on your face.
02:54Look, it's a nonstop love fest for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, the biggest in-kind donation
03:03that any campaign would ever hope for.
03:06And to think just a few months ago, Kamala was considered a political pariah with the
03:10lowest approval numbers ever for a vice president in American history.
03:15All of a sudden, she is now the second coming of Jesus.
03:18I'm sure tomorrow the media is going to be dutifully reporting she could walk on water,
03:23cure cancer, perform miracles.
03:26What changed?
03:27Did the border crisis get solved?
03:29I didn't see it.
03:30Did the economy get better?
03:31I didn't notice.
03:32Did inflation go away?
03:34Is there peace in the Middle East, the Ukraine and Russia?
03:36Did that stop?
03:37Did anything get better?
03:39No, of course not.
03:41And are any of you watching, here's the question that you ought to be asking, the media ought
03:46to be asking, but they won't.
03:48Are you better off than you were four years ago?
03:50How's that Harris-Biden economy, how's that working out for you?
03:54And what about your energy prices and electricity prices, how's that working out?
03:58How about safety and security in your small town or big city, wherever you happen to live?
04:03Is the world overall a safer place, war in Europe, war in the Middle East?
04:09And we're on pins and needles if Iran is about to bomb Israel.
04:13Kamala and Tim are getting the white glove treatment, predictably from the state-run
04:17media mob, simply because they are at the top of the Democratic ticket and they don't
04:22have the last name Trump.
04:24So are there any actual journalists left, NBC, ABC, CBS?
04:30Is there any honest reporters at the AP or Reuters or PBS or NPR even?
04:36The Washington Post, the New York Times, Maggie Haberman, Donald Trump opened a Diet Coke,
04:42details, you know, in tomorrow's paper.
04:45What about fake Jake or Dana Bash or Anderson Cooper or Chucky Todd?
04:49Anyone actually want to vet Kamala and Tim Walz?
04:55Is anyone demanding interviews?
04:56Do you think that maybe the American people need to hear their radical positions in their
05:00own words?
05:02Now, if you want to be a full-time cheerleader for the Democratic Party, I am a thousand
05:07percent fine with that.
05:08I believe in freedom.
05:09I'm a freedom person, unlike they say they are, but they're not.
05:13But don't call yourself a journalist like most of these people do.
05:18Stop lying.
05:19Stop pretending to be nonpartisan.
05:20You're not.
05:21Be honest about who you are.
05:23All the people, all these, quote, news organizations, they are really radical, supporting, left-wing
05:30talk show hosts with a very clear agenda.
05:33I'm all right with that.
05:34I'm a member of the press.
05:36I have the biggest talk radio show right now in the country and one of the top cable news
05:41shows in the country.
05:42I have thousands of hours of straight news that I can produce on radio and TV and prove
05:47it to you.
05:48I do investigative reporting, like right now we're vetting Kamala and Tim, which the media
05:52refuses to do.
05:53I give opinion.
05:55I am an outspoken conservative commentator.
05:58I am clear.
05:59I am voting for Donald Trump and I'm supporting his candidacy.
06:02I don't lie.
06:03I don't hide it.
06:04I'm straight with my audience.
06:06We also do culture and sports.
06:08What we do in our role in the press is I'm like the entire newspaper, start to finish,
06:14cover to cover.
06:15They claim to only do journalism.
06:18They are leftist talk show hosts, talk show hosts like me, except they are radical left
06:24and they lie about who they are.
06:26But of course, lying and trickery isn't that part of the game.
06:29They hide behind the mantle of journalism while doting on the Democrats, ripping Donald
06:33Trump, J.D. Vance, every single chance they get.
06:37Take a look.
06:39Trump ain't ready for this.
06:40He's not.
06:41This is so beyond his league.
06:44He's not going to be on a stage where he gets to walk up behind Kamala Harris and not have
06:50her turn around and damn near smack the hell out of him.
06:53You can't be the strong man who's afraid to debate a woman.
06:55Trump would fall flat on his face.
06:57He just does not have the debate chops that are necessary to withstand all of the blows
07:01he would take from Kamala Harris.
07:03He is a wuss.
07:04He is scared of her.
07:05She will run circles around him and he knows that she will destroy him.
07:11J.D. Vance, just dumb Vance, is pretty weird.
07:14I don't think Kamala Harris is going to pick anyone as weird and creepy as J.D. Vance.
07:19Claire, what do you make of the choice of J.D. Vance?
07:22Well, it does not signal that he is, Trump is trying to soften any edges.
07:29And the only person who was more excited than J.D. Vance this afternoon was Vladimir Putin.
07:36And tonight, even with a hostile press, both Donald Trump and J.D. Vance routinely, they
07:40speak with reporters.
07:41Just today, J.D. Vance walked across the tarmac after landing right near Air Force Two.
07:47And he spoke with Kamala's very, very lonely press corps, who have been totally ignored
07:52and shut out for weeks.
07:54Take a look.
07:55I figured I'd come by and one, get a good look at the plane, because hopefully it's
08:00going to be my plane in a few months.
08:01But I also thought you guys might get lonely because the vice president doesn't answer
08:06questions from reporters and hasn't for 17 days.
08:09Have they given you guys an explanation for why she won't take questions from reporters?
08:14No?
08:15Nobody?
08:16Okay, great.
08:17Well, I hope that she changes her mind because it'd be good for the American people and I
08:22think it'd be good for you all if she actually ran a real campaign instead of one from a
08:25basement with a teleprompter.
08:26So, have a good one, guys.
08:27See ya.
08:28What would you like to hear from her?
08:29I'd love her to answer questions.
08:30I'd love her to just answer what she wants to do and also explain why every single position
08:31she has has changed.
08:40Now, the almost dead silent reporters, they must have been in shock.
08:43They couldn't believe that a vice presidential candidate was actually talking to them.
08:49Pretty shocking day for them.
08:51It's really just pathetic, though.
08:53They're doing this.
08:54They are letting Democrats get away with it all, just like Joe hiding in the basement
08:59during his 2020 run.
09:01History is now repeating itself.
09:03Journalism is dead in America.
09:06We have what is a dangerous information crisis in the country.
09:10Add to this big tech, their influence, their censorship, supported by the deep state warning
09:16them they may be victims of a disinformation campaign about Joe and Hunter, knowing that
09:23Rudy Giuliani's attorney had a copy of the laptop that would likely be leaked.
09:27And then it's leaked and they didn't verify the authenticity of it, which they had done
09:31in March of 2020.
09:33Now, there is, however, an occasional moment of honesty on fake news.
09:37CNN got to give credit where credit's due.
09:39Van Jones last night talked about the the anti-Semitism, that cancer in his party.
09:46He addressed it straight on.
09:48Good for him.
09:49He also today talked about Kamala's cowardly campaign.
09:52Watch.
09:54She has been criticized for not sitting down for an interview, for not doing a press conference.
09:59When should that come?
10:00If you are looking at this particular coupling, when should that come?
10:04As soon as possible.
10:06Look, I think they've played it smart.
10:07It's hard for people to remember.
10:09She's been running for president for two weeks, literally for two weeks.
10:12And so she had to get a lot done in those two weeks.
10:14You have to get the base of her party.
10:16She had to get the actual nomination.
10:18You have to pick a VP.
10:19So I'm not mad that she's not doing 15 interviews a day, but it can't last.
10:24It's very important.
10:26And we can't make favors.
10:28Party running for the top office needs to be as available as possible.
10:32It's actually two and a half weeks and we're 40 days outside of early voting beginning.
10:37So how long will Kamala be able to hide in the basement?
10:40J.D. Vance has been asked for days and days and days on end about a sarcastic comment
10:46about cat ladies.
10:48How many more times are you going to have to answer that stupid question?
10:51And meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of Americans are dead because of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris's
10:57border crisis.
10:58And nobody in the media, you don't have any real questions for the border czar.
11:02And she is the border czar.
11:04The stock market has been plummeting for the last five days.
11:07A fortune is being lost.
11:09Inflation is still on the rise.
11:11Gas and energy prices are through the roof.
11:14Americans and innocent people are dying in new wars overseas.
11:19They have surrendered against radical Islamic terrorism.
11:22And the vice president, Democratic presidential nominee, just read short prepared speeches
11:27from a teleprompter in 2020.
11:29Entire city blocks were burned to the ground in Minnesota while that state's governor,
11:34now VP candidate for the Democrats, Tim Walz, did nothing.
11:38When will he be asked about it?
11:40During five days of nonstop lawlessness and looting and murder and arson, Governor Walz
11:45refused to send in the National Guard despite repeated requests from liberal local officials
11:51like the Minneapolis mayor.
11:53Walz's wife, the first lady of Minnesota, was basking in the violence, you know, opened
11:57all the windows to their home so she could smell burning tires and rejoice in the resistance.
12:04And get this, quote, according to the Senate committee report, around the same time the
12:08National Guard was finally being mobilized and starting to arrive in Minneapolis.
12:13Well, according to this report, the governor's daughter was given access to confidential
12:17information that she then disseminated to the quote general public and rioters.
12:22Might want to check that out.
12:24Anyway, meanwhile, the governor was actually lecturing law abiding Americans in Minnesota
12:28during the riots, telling them they deserved that their businesses were being looted, burned
12:33to the ground because of equity and inclusion.
12:38Look, we saw large peaceful protests focusing on the systemic changes that get to the heart
12:48of why we're in this situation.
12:49And when I say we, Minneapolis, St. Paul, the state of Minnesota, nationally, and as
12:55we've seen over the last 24 hours, internationally, a society that does not put equity and inclusion
13:01at the center of it is certainly going to eventually come to the places where we're
13:05at.
13:07Radical, extreme, dangerous.
13:10Oh, that looks like a city burning.
13:13Anyway, that doesn't look like a peaceful protest.
13:17Liz Cheney would probably call it if she saw it, an insurrection.
13:20How in God's name can you watch cities burning your city, burning night after night and do
13:25nothing?
13:26There are still burned out buildings in Minnesota.
13:29Small businesses ruined for ever.
13:32Walls was never held accountable.
13:34Neither were the violent rioters.
13:35They got to get out of jail free card.
13:38Thanks to the bail fund promoted by Kamala Harris, who was running for vice president
13:43and few rioters who are ever actually prosecuted or sentenced to jail.
13:47More recently, from 2021 and 2023, Kamala made multiple donations to a D.C. legal nonprofit
13:54that calls for police to be defunded advocates for sanctuary city policies.
13:59Kamala ever going to be asked about that free?
14:01You know, we have so many different issues, so many questions.
14:04Will her running mate get asked about his efforts to make Minnesota a sanctuary state,
14:09including driver's licenses for illegals, health care for illegals, taxpayer funded
14:14college tuition for illegals with your money?
14:16Will anyone ask Tim Walls about his creepy mandates to put tampons in boys public school
14:23bathrooms?
14:24No wonder people on X are calling him Tampon Tim.
14:28What about the bill that he signed protecting gender altering surgery and puberty blockers
14:33for young kids or his support of late term abortion up to the moment of birth?
14:39Could be called infanticide.
14:40What about his plan to crack down on so-called hate speech?
14:44Take a look.
14:46Years ago, it was the little things telling people to vote the day after the election.
14:49And, you know, we kind of brush them off.
14:51Now we know it's intimidation at the ballot box.
14:54It's undermining the idea that mail in ballots aren't legal.
14:58I think we need to push back on this.
15:00There's no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or or hate speech, and especially around our
15:05democracy.
15:07Hey, Timmy, you might want to check in with Kamala because she once supported paper ballots.
15:12Anyway, for a guy who honeymooned in China, was dressed like a Chinese Communist Party
15:16worker during a 1995 mugshot for drunk driving, Tim Walls politics almost perfectly aligned
15:22with the CCP, hating free speech, hating individual individualism, promoting equity around every
15:29turn.
15:30And so does Kamala Harris.
15:31Their campaign slogan might as well be from each according to their ability and to each
15:36based on their needs.
15:38Of course, Marxism always leads to the same place, pain, suffering, even death, poverty
15:43and loss of freedom, all in the name of false government security.
15:47Coincidentally, that is exactly what we saw in 2020 on the streets of Minneapolis, a city
15:52that has never truly recovered.
15:54Here now with the full report, a very own investigative reporter, Sarah Carter, live
15:58on the ground in Minnesota.
15:59Sarah, what's going on?
16:00How do the people there feel about it?
16:02Well, Sean, I. Well, let me tell you this.
16:05I've spent the day here in Minneapolis and their remnants of the deadly 2020 riots are
16:10all over the place.
16:11They haven't disappeared.
16:12If you just standing right here in uptown Minneapolis, this used to be a hustle and
16:16bustle street where people would shop.
16:19It was lively at night.
16:20It's basically dead right behind me.
16:23You could see a boarded up shop here.
16:24This used to be the Apple store right here.
16:27It had been looted multiple times during the riot.
16:30People never came back.
16:31Down the street was a Victoria's Secret.
16:33It no longer exists.
16:34The buildings are all shut down.
16:35We've also saw police precincts that have no longer existed.
16:39They're boarded up.
16:40They're gated up.
16:41They're no longer there.
16:42They're being rebuilt now.
16:44Four years later, another big issue, Sean, is a lot of people here in Minneapolis have
16:49left.
16:50They've left.
16:51They've gone to the suburbs because the crime is soaring.
16:54Let me give you some of these numbers.
16:56This is since Governor Walz took office.
16:59Crime aggravated assault up 38.2 percent.
17:03Homicide up 118.2 percent.
17:06Robberies up 18.9 percent.
17:10Listen to this.
17:11Vehicle motor theft up 255.5 percent.
17:16Gunshot wounds up 70.1 percent.
17:19It's astonishing.
17:20You know, when I talk to people in the city, a lot of them remain very quiet.
17:25They didn't want to talk about the rights.
17:26Those that are here did not want to talk about that.
17:29And I thought that was quite astonishing to me just because you would think that this
17:33would be something that they would want to openly discuss.
17:35That was something that they didn't want to talk about.
17:37One thing they did say is that they hope people would see Minnesota in a different light.
17:41But I can tell you from talking to the folks that have moved out of the city, those that
17:45did talk to us, they said they couldn't handle the crime here anymore.
17:49And that's a tragedy because it is quite a beautiful city, Sean.
17:53It really is.
17:54All right.
17:55Sarah Carter, great report as always.
17:57Joining us now, former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy is with us.
18:01All right, Vivek, let's get your take.
18:04Greatest contributor to the Democratic Party is the media.
18:07We have Kamala and Tim in their own words.
18:09It is the most radical, the most radical candidates to ever run on a major party ticket for the
18:18presidency and the vice presidency in this country.
18:20And yet they go completely unvetted.
18:23They have a media that is compliant and extension of their press office, your reaction to it.
18:27And how does the Trump campaign deal with that?
18:29That challenge?
18:30It's a challenge.
18:31Look, part of this, Sean, is the consequence of the fact they laid a trap for us and the
18:36trap was this.
18:38Joe Biden was the nominee such that for the last 18 months, Republicans have focused our
18:42financial and political capital on attacking Joe Biden when he's not the nominee.
18:47But because the press is the one that criticized Biden in that last month, here's what they've
18:51done.
18:52They've banked some artificial credibility with the public.
18:55I've talked to many independents across the country and their main pushback on the idea
18:58that the media is biased is the fact that, no, no, they were just criticizing Biden as
19:02recently as last month.
19:05So in some ways, we were led into that trap and now it's up to us to find our way out
19:09of it.
19:10Here's that path.
19:11Sean, I think that we would make the same mistake again by just obsessing over the candidates
19:15instead of following a three word formula to win this election.
19:20Focus on policy.
19:21Focus on our own vision for this country.
19:24What do we actually stand for?
19:26That makes the other side irrelevant by comparison.
19:29That's our only chance at success.
19:31And I think it is going to be our winning path to success.
19:33But we got to learn from our mistake last time around to correct it this time.
19:37See, I think if you this election comes about, their radical extremism on immigration, on
19:43law and order or the lack thereof and defund, dismantle Nobel, if it becomes about no fracking
19:49and no drilling and energy, if it becomes about their economy and their economic policies
19:54and their new Green Deal desire and a 70 to 80 percent tax rate and taxes on unrealized
19:59capital gains, small business and corporations which don't pay taxes and about America's
20:06role in the world, it's a slam dunk.
20:09They can't win.
20:11And getting bypassing this almost impenetrable wall of the media is hard.
20:19They're corrupt.
20:20It's hard.
20:21But you know what?
20:22We're running to save a country here, Sean.
20:23So that work is cut out for us.
20:24The question is whether we rise to the challenge, seal the border, grow the economy, fight rampant
20:29crime in this country and stay out of World War Three.
20:32If this election comes down to those four things, we win this handily.
20:35If it doesn't, we lose this.
20:37I think those are our two choices.
20:39The reality is the voting public is not going to be voting for Tim Walz.
20:42I think this news cycle is going to go away regardless in another week.
20:46But what does Walz's selection actually tell us?
20:48It teaches us about Kamala Harris and how she'll make decisions as a U.S. president
20:53and to which wing of her party she actually bends the knee.
20:57And so this has opened up.
20:58This has been exactly what we needed.
21:00It has given us the reset we needed in this race to refocus on policy.
21:05They've served this up.
21:06And I think it was a great gift making Waltz the vice presidential nominee.
21:09Having given us that gift, now it's up to us to receive it and use that to actually
21:14offering competing visions for the future policy governing the United States.
21:18If we do that, we're successful.
21:20But that's up to us.
21:21I have five issues.
21:23You have four.
21:24I would dial in on how they plan to save the country, make America great again, to steal
21:28a phrase, and also pointing out their radicalism in their own words.
21:32And somehow there's got to be an effort to bypass what is the extension of their press
21:39offices with the media.
21:41Vivek Ramaswamy, I always appreciate you being with us.
21:44Thank you, sir.
21:46Actually scary news.
21:47Taylor Swift concerts in Austria had to be canceled over a foiled terror plot.
21:52Kevin Cork has a full report.
21:54And questions tonight are swirling around Walz's military record.
21:58Is this a case of stolen valor?
22:00We'll check in with John Solomon, Pete Hegseth and other breaking news as we come back.
22:09List released into our homeland.
22:10We have them in custody.
22:12We have no idea where they are.
22:13Our own FBI director said that has said we are at the highest alert level since 9-11,
22:20maybe higher in terms of the terror threat has never been this bad.
22:24Terror attacks are now a matter of when, not if I pray I'm wrong.
22:28And tonight we have a new report from just the news.com revealing that U.S. Customs and
22:32Border Protection is now warning in an internal memo that heightened tensions in the Middle
22:38East mean a higher risk of terrorists getting smuggled across the border into this country.
22:43John Solomon will be here in a moment.
22:45But also tonight, there are serious questions that are swirling around the military service
22:50record of Kamala's running mate, Tim Walz.
22:52In fact, the Minnesota National Guard is disputing Walz's military biography, accusing
22:59him of inflating his rank.
23:01A statement from the Minnesota Guard to this show confirms that Walz retired from the military
23:06prior to his unit's deployment to Iraq, was demoted upon retirement because he had not
23:12completed the required coursework.
23:14And Walz is also accused of abandoning his platoon, quitting before that deployment to
23:19Iraq.
23:20In addition to his prior claims, Walz never served in a war or combat zone.
23:25Earlier tonight, a guest on the Ingram Angles show, Laura, had this to say about Walz's
23:30time in the Guard.
23:31Watch this.
23:32Yeah, he was in for 24 years and he quit.
23:35Well, OK, so that's what you did.
23:37But don't try to make it look like you were a command sergeant major.
23:42Don't try to make it look like you were going to some place that was in support of Operation
23:47Enduring Freedom.
23:48I mean, granted, you know, there's that that's just all all embellishment and lies to try
23:54to make things look better.
23:55Coming up to we've also uncovered a 2005 press release from Walz's congressional campaign,
24:02which he is quoted as saying, as a command sergeant major, I have a responsibility not
24:07only to ready my battalion for Iraq, but also to serve if I am called.
24:12I am dedicated to serving my country to the best of my ability, whether that is in Washington,
24:17D.C. or in Iraq.
24:19And again, to reiterate, he instead chose to retire, got demoted from that rank as a
24:25result, never deployed.
24:27A statement from the Harris campaign also confirms that after 24 years of military service,
24:33Walz retired in 2005 and says he will continue to be a champion for veterans should he become
24:39vice president.
24:40All right.
24:41Here with the full report analysis, John Solomon, justthenews.com.
24:45And by the way, National Minnesota National Guard veteran himself, our friend, our colleague,
24:51Fox and Friends Weekend co-host Pete Hegseth.
24:53John, let's start with the news with you.
24:55What do we know?
24:56Because didn't he also say that 18 to 24 year old that was Kamala, who said that they were
25:01stupid and didn't he also say that 19 year olds in the guard are basically cooks?
25:07And didn't he once say that, oh, that's right.
25:11These are the weapons that I used when I was in war.
25:13Did he say that, too?
25:16He did.
25:17And listen, he's sometimes a comedian.
25:19But in this case, he's a charlatan.
25:22His own official biography on the state of Minnesota government website, the governor's
25:26website falsely claimed that he retired as a command sergeant.
25:33And he was not.
25:34He retired as a master sergeant, not as a command sergeant major.
25:38That's a really big difference.
25:40The reason he retired at the lower rank is he was demoted because he didn't complete
25:43his required training and other obligations when he left the military before being deployed
25:48to Iraq.
25:49And instead, he ran for Congress.
25:51If you can't get your basic record right in the military, not only are you deserving the
25:55American people, you're dishonoring veterans who had that rank or who did stay in, who
25:59did go into combat.
26:01I think it's going to become an issue that won't go away.
26:03By the way, you were talking about the media.
26:04The Hill tonight is still reporting the old story.
26:07It's still reporting.
26:08Other newspapers still reporting he retired as a command sergeant major.
26:12He did not.
26:13And I think that that's important.
26:14It's on the record from the National Guard.
26:16It isn't that hard for journalism to get it right.
26:18Yeah.
26:19Pete, is this a case of stolen valor as well, people he served with now claim?
26:25And did he also lie about being the head coach?
26:30He did.
26:31He was an assistant coach.
26:32He was a linebackers coach, a defensive coach.
26:33That's great.
26:34That's important, but not the head coach.
26:36John Solomon is completely correct.
26:39This is a case of stolen valor, Sean.
26:41I don't say that lightly.
26:43This is a guy who ran for Congress in 2006 while his men were doing 22 months in Iraq,
26:4922 months the Minnesota National Guard ended up doing in combat in Iraq.
26:53And you know what they can't do when they're deployed?
26:55They can't speak.
26:56So they couldn't contradict the claims he was making that he was the highest serving
27:00enlisted member ever to be elected to Congress.
27:02He retired when he was a command sergeant major, but he was actually just a sergeant
27:07major.
27:08And to keep that rank, you have to complete the sergeant major's academy, which he never
27:11did, which means when he quit, he gets demoted to E-8, was a master sergeant.
27:17He knew that when he retired, he knew it when he claimed to be a command sergeant major.
27:21It was all lie and that is absolutely stolen valor.
27:24And by the way, he likes to say he was in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.
27:29I deployed to Guantanamo Bay in 2004.
27:31We were not in combat.
27:32We were in support of what we're doing in Afghanistan because they were sending the
27:35Taliban over.
27:36I never claimed to be in combat.
27:38Get he all pull the tape.
27:40Let's find Sean.
27:41They're all over the place.
27:42He's he's convoluting his words about whether he was in combat or not.
27:45Place.
27:46This is all words, though, Sean.
27:48Oh, OK.
27:49I got more, though.
27:50Go ahead.
27:51All right.
27:52So no, no, no.
27:53OK.
27:54I would normally serve anybody.
27:55I would normally praise anybody that served in the guard.
27:57I normally would.
27:58But he referred to guardsmen as 19 year old cooks.
28:02And then he said, we can make sure that those weapons of war I carried in war is the only
28:08place where those war weapons are at.
28:11This is what he said.
28:13We can do background checks.
28:14We can do CDC research.
28:15We can make sure we don't have reciprocal carry among states and we can make sure that
28:19those weapons of war that I carried in war is the only place where those weapons are.
28:24OK, well, he never carried a weapon in war.
28:29Never.
28:30For six months.
28:31Supported.
28:32That's fine.
28:33Total lie.
28:34And he knew it at the time.
28:35The entire time.
28:36He was he was the command sergeant major.
28:38He's in charge of the logistics, the training, the emotional support, the preparation for
28:43every man in his battalion, a field artillery battalion, a very important role if you're
28:47headed to Iraq.
28:48And when he got the orders, the notification that his men were going to combat, he said,
28:52I quit.
28:53I'm out.
28:54I'm done.
28:55And he had to.
28:56And he had two years left.
28:57Exactly what happened.
28:58And he had two years left in his contract, but he was beyond his retirement so he could
29:03work his way to get out of his contract, which he did.
29:06You know what the real the real phrase is for guys that serve with Tim Walz is no, it's
29:10Tim A. Walz, Tim exit questions when his men needed him.
29:15He left.
29:16He bailed.
29:17He did not deploy.
29:18He spent 24 years in the military, Sean.
29:20You go with your men to combat if you care about those men.
29:23But if you don't, you care about yourself and politics.
29:26You stay home.
29:27And that's what Tim Walz did.
29:28And that's why so many people are frustrated and angry about this.
29:31He's Tim A. Walz in my book.
29:34It's interesting.
29:35The lie about George W. Bush ended Dan Rather's career over a similar issue.
29:41My question is, is this stolen valor?
29:43John Solomon.
29:44Listen, it's a lie to the American people and it's a dishonor to every person who served
29:49in the ranks and actually deployed and actually had the rank of a command sergeant major.
29:54He'll have to be held accountable.
29:56The American people have to hold him accountable.
29:57Let's get the media getting reported.
29:59Pete has it exactly right.
30:02Exit yes or no.
30:03Stolen valor, Pete.
30:06Of course.
30:07Absolutely.
30:09Thank you both.
30:10When we come back, as we continue our vetting of Governor Walz, well, we'll take a look
30:14at his extreme positions on abortion, transgender kids issues with Elizabeth Hasselbeck straight
30:20ahead.
30:26And tonight, Tim Walz, radical stances on abortion and gender issues are under scrutiny.
30:31Just last year, he signed a bill allowing unlimited abortion access in the state of
30:35Minnesota, which includes no limitations on when in the pregnancy a woman may have an
30:41abortion given the option of an abortion up until the moment of birth.
30:47Radical, extreme, dangerous.
30:49I keep reminding you.
30:51Meanwhile, just earlier this year, in a bizarre, unprecedented move, Kamala Harris became the
30:55first sitting vice president to visit an abortion clinic when she stopped at a Planned Parenthood
31:00clinic in Minnesota alongside her future running mate, Tim Walz.
31:05And after a year of anger and fear mongering from the left following the Dobbs decision,
31:09a new study found that the number of abortions has actually gone up since Roe was overturned.
31:15But it's not just abortion.
31:16The new Democratic Party ticket has taken an extreme stance on.
31:20In just March of last year, Walz signed an executive order doing what?
31:25Protecting trans procedures on minors here.
31:29And by the way, without parental consent here with Reaction Broadcaster, New York Times
31:33bestselling author Elizabeth Hasselbeck.
31:36Elizabeth, let's get your take on all of it.
31:38Let's start with no parental notification on on gender affirming surgery and treatments.
31:45Sean, thank you for having me tonight and hello to all your viewers there.
31:51Number one, I'd like to say if we learn anything from the Olympics, Sean, it's that performance
31:54matters.
31:55And since the Kamala Harris and Walz ticket has no performance to run on because they
32:00let cities burn down and our border be open and fentanyl and illegal weapons come in and
32:04threaten our children, our teenagers, our college kids, why would we think they would
32:08protect our children when it comes to their God-given identity or their right to life?
32:14It's low expectation when it comes to their radical riptide.
32:16So that's what they're running on, a radical riptide, hoping to drown voters so that they
32:20can't see nor breathe properly to cast a vote for anything that resembles an ounce of integrity.
32:28Here's my issue, Sean.
32:29I this is an attack on parenting.
32:32I would normally say take a breath, swim to the side out of the riptide and don't get
32:36emotionally distracted.
32:37But this is an attack on the value of life.
32:40And this is an this is an important matter to God.
32:44This is God's creation, God's masterpiece.
32:46Our children, pre-born children and children out of the womb to confuse them about their
32:50gender.
32:51God will handle that.
32:52He's sovereign.
32:53When it comes to abortion.
32:54And I do believe we need to keep an eye on the moderate Republican Donald Trump Vance
33:00ticket that right now just needs to kind of sit back and let crazy look crazy.
33:04They're doing that enough.
33:05But it is important to note that not only are they creating a force field behind more
33:11abortions in their state, I read some research today that 5000 women who went in to have
33:16an abortion said they just didn't feel like having another child.
33:19They will highlight situations that seem extreme.
33:22But at the same time, Sean, what's deeply concerning is that they're defund funding
33:26pregnancy centers.
33:27Pregnancy centers are ones that I've worked with on a national level that actually comfort
33:31women.
33:32Don't cast shame on them when they find themselves in a situation with an unplanned pregnancy,
33:36unexpected pregnancy.
33:38They provide them sustainable support and equip them to have an awesome, peace filled
33:41life with their child, because God cares about both the mom and the child.
33:45And they have options and support.
33:48I'm deeply saddened that this is increasing and that.
33:51But not surprised that these the radical agenda is running on this show.
33:56They're just not supporting it.
33:57They're running on this.
33:59Actually, they should fear the day they meet their own maker.
34:02I would love to know Wall's wife if she took prenatal vitamins at any point.
34:06Do they value life in the womb as they should?
34:08It has a value.
34:09It's an amazing creation by God with a plan and a purpose.
34:12And if there's a woman out there who needs to know that she's valued without shame, she
34:16should go to these pregnancy centers and Americans watching.
34:19If you feel like there's nothing you can do, go support them.
34:22Go donate to the pregnancy centers that he's defunding in his state and and put some put
34:27some money behind them because they're doing good things in supporting women.
34:31Our family has decided to to walk this out in a different way.
34:35We have taken in and it's been a blessing to us newborns who would have otherwise potentially
34:40been aborted.
34:41But they found their moms found pregnancy centers that supported them.
34:44And for the first month of life, that mom just needs to know that their support, their
34:48sustainability with the plan, that they're loving arms to hold her baby.
34:51And maybe she's reunited in some cases and maybe that baby is placed.
34:55But there are options out there that this radical riptide wants eliminated.
34:59And we need to stand for our children.
35:02You know, it's just sad.
35:03I mean, OK, up to the moment of birth.
35:05Talk about radical abortion.
35:07No parental rights on something as serious as that.
35:10By the way, for the record, I think that was more interrupted talk time that you had than
35:16all your years combined on The View, I'm just saying, without somebody jumping in and
35:20annoying you and annoying anybody that was watching.
35:23We appreciate you being with us, Elizabeth Hasselbeck.
35:26All right.
35:27When we come back, Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin is taking a major step to ensure
35:31election security in his state.
35:33I hope the other state governors paying close attention next.
