Senator Ron Johnson was on “Sunday Morning Futures” with host Maria Bartiromo to discuss topics including passing a budget. He blasted Democrats for their continued obstructionist tactics.
Bartiromo and Johnson also discussed anti-Semitism. They also talked about Dr. Anthony Fauci’s upcoming testimony this week in front of the US Senate regarding his handling of Covid.
Senator Johnson replaced the late Senator Lindsey Graham as the new Chairman of the Senate Budget Committee.
“You have a lot on your shoulders right now as Chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, and I want to get to all of that in just a moment,” Bartiromo said.
Senator Johnson explained that Israel’s response to attacks is an expected response. He explained that if one of the neighbors of the US invaded and killed our own citizens, we would respond with a lot of force.
The Senator also commented that he is seeing a lot of anti-Semitism.
“I’m highly concerned by the way, of the rise of anti-Semitism,” Johnson said.
“Let me move onto the business at hand and that is of course, your budget work. The House passed a stop gap funding bill that would extend federal funding through December 4th in an attempt to avoid another government shutdown, which your colleagues on the left are threatening again,” Bartiromo said.
“I want to get your take on that as well as your work on reconciliation 3.0,” Bartiromo said.
“Where are you coming up with the offsets to what the House advanced, the $95 billion reconciliation 3.0 budget resolution? The passage in the Senate is unclear,” Bartiromo said.
“First, let’s recognize the Democrats have been obnoxiously obstructionist since President Trump took office. They refused to nominate or confirm his nominees. We had to end the 60-vote threshold on that just so we can establish his administration. They shut down the government for 42 days. They shut down DHS, refused to fund CBP and ICE,” Johnson continued.
“What are you expecting from Anthony Fauci, who will also testify in front of your committee this week?” Bartiromo asked.
“I think he’ll be very forgetful, completely unrepentant, arrogant, arrogant to the extreme. Don’t expect to get much out of him, but I am going to try and lay out all of the things that he did that was such a miserably failed response to Covid,” Johnson continued.

The post Senator Ron Johnson Weighs in on Reconciliation 3.0, Blasts Democrat’s Obstructionist Tactics- (VIDEO) appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.

Throughout this cycle, the Elitist Media have abetted DSA-affiliated candidates running as Democrats: gleefully amplified socialists such as Zohran Mamdani and covered for the sins of others such as Graham Platner. Through it all, they have assisted them in concealing what the Democratic Socialists of America actually stand for. A recent Fox News interview rips that veil open.Shannon Brean interviewed DSA national co-chair Megan Romer on Fox News Sunday. Here are some of that interview’s most remarkable moments.After an introduction and exchange of pleasantries, Bream asks Romer to respond to former Democratic National Committee chair Jaime Harrison’s complaints about DSA candidates who hate the Democrat Party. Her response confirms what many of have suspected all along: “IT’S A BALLOT LINE”: Watch as DSA co-chair Megan Romer admits to Fox’s Shannon Bream that the DSA are (parasitically) using the Democrat Party as a ballot-access deviceSHANNON BREAM: So Jamie Harrison, who was the DNC chair, after you had such a big night in New York City… pic.twitter.com/wDtBxubVau— Jorge Bonilla (@BonillaJL) July 26, 2026 SHANNON BREAM: So Jamie Harrison, who was the DNC chair, after you had such a big night in New York City knocking out some of those incumbents and having success with your candidates in the congressional primaries, he said if you hate the Democratic Party, then don’t run for our nomination. Don’t use our resources and don’t rely on our volunteers and don’t use our infrastructure and focus on building the party you actually support. Other Democrats out there saying this is a separate party- the DSA- you don’t belong within the party. How do you respond to his statements there?MEGAN ROMER: Yeah, I mean- the two parties have over years and decades created a system where ballot line access is difficult for third parties. I also have been told a lot of times by Democrats “don’t vote third party, it’s wasting your vote.” So we run on the Democratic ballot line where it makes sense. We run independents sometimes where that is a viable possibility, but it’s a ballot line. And what matters is what the voters think, and the voters are overwhelmingly choosing our candidate.Romer essentially admits that the DSA is essentially a third party latching on to Democrat structures for ballot access, and that their voters are totally fine with that. Bream then moves on to specific policy positions platformed by the DSA. Although we often focus on the “Abolish ICE” and “Abolish the Supreme Court” portions of their platform, be sure to watch this clip to the very end: WATCH: Shannon Bream and DSA co-chair Megan Romer do a rapid fire run through the DSA’s positions: Abolish the Seante, presidency, SCOTUS, ICE, prisons, and the seizure of “most large corporations.”SHANNON BREAM: OK, so we’re going to put on the screen a few things that are… pic.twitter.com/nFAhRimgws— Jorge Bonilla (@BonillaJL) July 26, 2026 SHANNON BREAM: OK, so we’re going to put on the screen a few things that are part of your platform and I want to ask you to give me sort of a true or false on these: Abolish the Senate.MEGAN ROMER: True.BREAM: Okay. Replace the presidency and Supreme Court as we now know them.ROMER: Yup.BREAM: Abolish ICE?ROMER: Absolutely.BREAM: Abolish borders and give amnesty to anyone currently in the U.S. illegally.ROMER: As a long term plan, yup.BREAM: Defund the Pentagon.ROMER: Absolutely.BREAM: Abolish prisons, at least in large part.ROMER: Yeah, again as part of a long term program- yeah.BREAM: Okay, so no prisons. Government or public ownership of most large corporations.ROMER: Yeah. Absolutely.“Government or public ownership of most large corporations” doesn’t mean a 10% stake, but outright seizure. Of the means of production. The DSA co-chair doesn’t deny or dissimulate, either. This is a clarifying moment that we’ve not seen anywhere on Elitist Media. Instead, we get anchors saying DSA are “not communists.”Bream then pushes for clarification on some of the earlier policy items such as “Abolish the Senate”: WATCH: DSA co-chair Megan Romer blasts the Senate as an “anachronistic institution”, and blames America for illegal immigrationSHANNON BREAM: OK, let’s go back through some of those then. Abolish the Senate. There are people in the Senate now who are very supportive of DSA.… pic.twitter.com/m5uFZNT6Zt— Jorge Bonilla (@BonillaJL) July 26, 2026 SHANNON BREAM: OK, let’s go back through some of those then. Abolish the Senate. There are people in the Senate now who are very supportive of DSA. They lose their seats?ROMER: Well- the Senate is an anachronistic institution. It comes from the British House of Lords. It is made to protect power for — the Senate was part of the system made to make sure people didn’t have too much of a say, so we want to expand Congress significantly but make it a unicameral legislature.BREAM: Okay, and without the presidency and the Supreme Court. So, abolish ICE. Would there be any enforcement of immigration laws- or with abolishing the border there’s- we’re not enforcing immigration laws, they go away.ROMER: Yeah- so, again. This is part of this longer term plan, and part of it includes- think-BREAM: But if you can get there.ROMER: Yeah, if we can get to the place where the U.S. is not destabilizing countries in order to mine them for resources, there will be significantly less migration. If we are not-BREAM: What do you say to those, though, that that would potentially destabilize the U.S.? Because there’s only so much the economy can bear, and when you have a flood of people coming in it might not work out economically, according to a lot of analyses, if you just open up the borders and there’s no enforcement at all.ROMER: Well, we’re not saying open the borders tomorrow.BREAM: But eventually.ROMER: We are saying rebuild an economy in a society that works for everyone. And the open borders is part of a longer term international plan that involves us stopping destabilizing countries. Most people who are coming to this country are coming as economic refugees and we have destabilized their country. We did that.BREAM: Well, a lot of- you know, if you look at data, the Center for Immigration Studies says right now the people- the households here in the U.S. that are headed up by people who are here illegally, nearly 61% of them are on some type of government or welfare program here in the U.S. Can we afford to do that? I mean, at some point you run out of resources.ROMER: Well, right now we make it very difficult for people to participate in society in such a way that they can avoid using services. So we want people to be able to work and live and go to school and actually participate which means contributing to society and also getting that we need from society.BREAM: Okay.ROMER: It’s a collective choice we all make.It should be noted that the Senate, presidency, and Supreme Court cannot be abolished except by drastically amending the Constitution itself. Romer goes on to describe what Congress might actually look like. When asked about abolishing ICE, Romer goes into a redistributionist rant wherein she blames America for people being here illegally. Conversely, illegal immigration can only be stopped by making America into the sort of country people would also flee.Finally, Bream engages Romer on the DSA’s call for abolishing prisons: WATCH: DSA co-chair Megan Romer cannot commit to locking away murderers and rapists for the rest of their livesSHANNON BREAM: If we talk about abolishing prisons, does that make society better? Is there anyone who should be incarcerated? Rapists, child predators?ROMER: When… pic.twitter.com/CtTcj2DfW1— Jorge Bonilla (@BonillaJL) July 26, 2026 SHANNON BREAM: If we talk about abolishing prisons, does that make society better? Is there anyone who should be incarcerated? Rapists, child predators?ROMER: When we think about most people in prison. Mostly imprisoned for crimes of poverty.BREAM: But I am talking about the really –ROMER: Right. When we get rid of this need for crimes of poverty to exist, when we get rid of that destabilizing force that creates so many people who are living in desperate situations and doing desperate things, that brings those numbers down to a very small numbers and then we can collectively decide what we do with those people. I suspect it won’t look like the prison system as we know it today.BREAM: But you do think some people need to be locked away from society.ROMER: Some people are not able to be functional members of society. That’s true. But what does that look like to keep the rest of us safe? We are talking about safety, we are not talking about punishment. We are talking about making sure that we are safe, everybody is safe, everybody maintains their dignity and everybody maintains their humanity. Romer tried to go around the issue as much as she could but could not commit to the idea of locking murderers and rapists away for the rest of their lives. “We are talking about safety, we are not talking about punishment.” At a time when socialism is increasingly popular among the left, the Elitist Media seem more interested in hiding from the public what that means. More perverse than the usual bias by omission, this seems to be a perverse accommodation in pursuit of access to future power. In all, the interview performed an extremely valuable public service. May the rest take note.

The week ahead will have no shortage of challenges for the major averages.

Rising gas prices force Americans to make cuts to other parts of their budget. “Over three-fifths (61%) of drivers said rising gas prices have moderately or significantly impacted their household’s ability to afford other expenses in the past month,” according to Numerator’s Consumers React to Rising Gas Prices. People are also cutting back on discretionary spending.”Seventy-three percent of drivers say that higher gas prices have resulted in them cutting spending from other categories, including dining out/takeout (43%), travel (30%), and entertainment (29%). A quarter of drivers also cut spending on everyday items like groceries (28%) and household goods (24%),” the study showed.In addition, Americans are also changing their gas-buying habits. “Ninety-three percent of drivers are trying to save money on gas, resorting to using gas station loyalty programs or apps,” Numerator’s April report showed.The situation has driven more Costco customers to buy gas at the warehouse club, but one perk from 7-Eleven’s 7Rewards program could be an even better deal for customers.7-Eleven has a price lock feature7-Eleven’s 7Rewards program comes with a lot of gas rewards, but it’s more complicated to use than Costco’s gas pumps, which simply require a membership.To join, you have to follow a few steps:Text SAVE to 711711 for 25¢ OFF/gal on your next 3 fillsSign up for7REWARDS and get 11¢ OFF/gal on your 7 fillsIf you download the 7-Eleven app, you also unlock the convenience-store chain’s Price Lock feature. This gives shoppers protection from rising gas prices.”Lock in a low fuel price in your area for 4 days in the 7-Eleven app. You’ll always get the best deal, even if prices drop,” the chain shared on its website.It takes four steps to lock in the potential savings:Login to your 7-Eleven app and navigate to the “Fuel” page. Find the Price Lock banner and press the “Lock Price” button.Select your preferred fuel grade from the options displayed.Press the “Find Participating Stores” button to view where you can fill up.Pay at the pump using Mobile Pay in the 7-Eleven app.So, if prices rise, you have already locked in a lower price, and if they drop, you get to pay the lower amount.As gas prices rise quickly, this could allow a 7-Eleven customer to lock in a lower price than they might pay at Costco that day, which also requires a paid membership.Gas prices back over $4 a gallonThe national average for a gallon of regular gasoline jumped 15 cents from last week to $4.09 as of July 23. “Most states are now averaging $4 per gallon or higher. Rising crude oil prices are behind the spike at the pump. Volatility along the Strait of Hormuz and instability in the region have pushed crude oil prices into the $90 per barrel range and could continue driving up costs during the second half of summer,” according to AAA.July 23 national average: $4.091 One week ago: $3.943 One month ago: $3.926 One year ago: $3.155 Rising prices have been met with climbing demand.Gasoline demand increased last week from 8.84 million to 8.94 million, according to new data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA).

Consumers are looking for cheap gasWalmart CFO John Rainey noted a change in consumer behavior during his chain’s first-quarter earnings call.“We have a large fuel business, and we see that in the most recent period, the number of gallons that customers fill up with when they come to our fuel stations fell below 10 for the first time since 2022. That’s an indication of stress,” he said.Overall, however, Walmart and Sam’s Club have sold more gas.“In the month of May, our gallons are up 12%. If you look across the industry, they’re down 5%,” Rainey added. More Retail:Coca-Cola quietly hints at reinventing previously failed flavorBath & Body Works quietly gains a competitive advantageDollar General brings back old pricesCostco has also set gas records.”All three four-week fiscal periods of the quarter set successive all-time company volume sales records, with the final 5 weeks of the quarter becoming our top five volume weeks ever,” Costco CEO Ron Vachris said during the warehouse club’s third-quarter earnings call.CFO Gary Millerchip also shared some insight on changing member behavior.“A lot of members are increasing their frequency. They’re visiting the gas station to top up in between would have normally been a gap between getting the tank to empty because of the concern about what might the gas price be tomorrow,” he said during the Q3 call.Costco may still have an edgeRTMNexus CEO Dominick Miserandino thinks Costco has one edge over all of its rivals offering gas promotions.”Costco wins because its value proposition is completely frictionless: You show your card, and you get the lowest price in town immediately,” he told TheStreet.7-Eleven’s Price Lock does make it possible for scenarios when it could sell gas cheaper than Costco, but that’s likely to be rare.Americans, especially with gas back over $4 per gallon, will be aggressively looking for cheaper deals.“It doesn’t matter whether gas prices are $4 or $2 per gallon, consumers still want to find the best price possible. Retailers are constantly fighting to attract price-sensitive drivers to their stores, especially given that 35% of gas customers say that they also go inside the store after fueling,” Jeff Lenard, a longtime National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS) executive, said in a press release.Costco did report seeing a change in how its own members acted based on where gas prices are now.”The high consumer price sensitivity, which fueled these record volumes, also drove many members to use our gas stations for the very first time in the third quarter,” Vachris added.Related: After 80 stores close, 63-year-old chain gives Chapter 11 warning

House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) responded to the so-called glitch in New Jersey’s MVD voter registration system that illegally signed thousands of noncitizens up to vote by accusing Republicans of voter suppression on Sunday. 
During an appearance on CNN’s State of the Union, Jeffries somehow claimed that Republicans are using the issue for voter suppression as if stopping illegal voters is suppression. Perhaps this would suppress the Democrat vote, which relies heavily on cheating.
Host Dana Bash confronted Jeffries with the damning fact that “New Jersey just disclosed that 6,660 noncitizens were mistakenly registered to vote there from 2023 to 2024.” New Jersey admits that at least 400 noncitizens voted, but Bash was sure to mention, “It is a small number compared to the 7 million voters in New Jersey, and there’s no evidence that that swayed any election.”
“Democrats have repeatedly said that noncitizen voting doesn’t happen. It happened. Is this a problem?” she asked.
“I think that I continue to have confidence in state and local authorities in making sure that there’s going to be a free and fair election in November, and if modest or minor challenges emerge, such as the one that was disclosed voluntarily by the authorities in New Jersey, that it is immediately corrected, and that’s what I expect will continue to happen,” Jeffries responded before going on an unhinged tirade, claiming that the Republicans are engaging in voter suppression by trying to prevent the so-called “modest or minor challenges” before they happen.
“Unfortunately, what we’ve seen from Donald Trump is that in this particular case, Republicans have adopted voter suppression as an electoral strategy,” Jeffries said before attacking Trump’s agenda.
He went on to claim that Republicans are only talking about cheating in the elections to distract from issues like affordability, the Middle East, and cuts to Medicaid.

As The Gateway Pundit reported on Tuesday, New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill admitted that a “serious software error” in the state’s Motor Vehicle System allowed thousands of foreign nationals to register to vote between June 2023 and June 2024.
“Last week I learned that a serious software error in New Jersey’s Motor Vehicle System led to the registration of roughly 6,600 people who indicated that they were not U.S. citizens between June 2023 and June 2024, almost three years prior to my taking office,” she said in a statement on social media.
“These individuals answered ‘no’ when asked on a keypad whether they were a U.S. citizen when applying for drivers’ licenses and identification cards, but through no fault of their own, the system registered them anyway.”
“Fewer than 400 individuals who were newly registered for the first time because of the error voted,” she said, claiming that “They were registered as Democrats, Republicans and Unaffiliated voters” statewide but without providing a breakdown of party affiliation.
Sherrill further took a shot at Trump, writing, “Donald Trump has zero credibility on the issue of election integrity” and attacking him for “spreading lies about legitimate election results, attempting to overturn a free and fair election, encouraging an attack on our Capitol when he couldn’t accept the will of the voters, and defunding election security at the federal level.”
The governor further echoed these claims and more during a press conference on Tuesday, where she lashed out at the software vendor, pointing the finger at their erroneous software.
“Let me be clear: this entire situation is unacceptable. It’s unacceptable that the vendor released software with such a glaring error. It’s unacceptable that the MVC took a year to get this issue fixed, and it’s unacceptable that no one in the previous administration brought this to light, demanded accountability, or took action when it happened years ago,” Sherrill said.
“This failure didn’t occur under my watch, but accountability starts now, because the people of New Jersey shouldn’t have to wait a year for a problem to get solved or two years to learn it even happened.”
Sherill continued, “I’m taking immediate action to make sure something like this doesn’t happen again. Administrator Johnson has already started the process to replace the vendor behind the error.”
WATCH:

However, the state vendor, IDEMIA, fired back on Sherrill’s claims, saying in a statement that its system merely transmits application data collected by the Motor Vehicle Commission. “Information submitted by IDEMIA must still be validated and adjudicated by the Division of Elections,” the company said, exposing the state of New Jersey for breaking the law.

Five years ago, the Department of Veterans Affairs launched a new medical records system meant to fix a health network running on decades old technology.The rollout became one of the most cited failures in modern government technology, tied to patient deaths and years of paused deployments.The project started as a $10 billion contract with Cerner in 2018 and has since pushed toward lifecycle costs as high as $50 billion, according to the Washington Examiner.Investigators linked the system to more than 150 cases of patient harm at just five medical centers, according to Fierce Healthcare. That history shadows every technology contract the VA signs today.The Cerner program was not the VA’s first attempt to fix its records systems. It was the fourth try in two decades after three earlier modernization projects collapsed, and VA health care has remained on the Government Accountability Office’s high risk list since 2015.This week, the VA signed another major technology deal, but chose a different vendor and a different approach. Salesforce (CRM) announced Friday, July 24, that it won a contract worth up to $1.6 billion to expand its role across the VA, according to a press release.Related: Salesforce receives double blow over an AI productThe Agentic Enterprise License Agreement runs for one year with two optional one-year renewals, giving it a three-year ceiling if the VA exercises both extensions.Unlike the Cerner overhaul, Salesforce is not building a new system from scratch. It is expanding tools the agency has used for more than a decade, building on a relationship that predates this contract by years.The VA built on a system it already trustedSalesforce’s Slack platform already runs across more than 150 VA medical and outpatient centers.The company also operates the VA’s Veterans Crisis Line, the VA Health Connect contact center and the SQUARES eligibility system, a footprint that predates this contract.Kendall Collins, who leads Salesforce’s government and defense unit, said the goal is to reduce the time employees spend navigating disconnected systems, according to a press release.That distinction matters because rip and replace projects like Cerner failed partly because clinicians had to learn entirely new workflows overnight.

Salesforce won a VA contract worth up to $1.6 billion to expand AI powered scheduling and care coordination tools across the agency.hapabapa / Getty Images

The 28-day promise is the real testThe VA wants to cut average appointment scheduling time from 28 days to minutes once the system fully deploys, covering more than 40,000 provider services nationwide under its Unified Patient Scheduling initiative.That is an ambitious claim for an agency whose last major technology bet struggled for years.A March 2025 Government Accountability Office review found that only 13% of VA staff believed the Cerner system made the agency more efficient, while 58% said it increased patient safety risk, according to Federal News Network.Salesforce’s contract avoids locking the VA into that kind of fixed commitment. The one-year renewal terms give the agency a formal exit if milestones slip, rather than a decadelong obligation like the one that trapped Cerner.The scheduling metric also gives investors something Cerner never offered, a single visible number they can track.Cerner’s quality problems showed up in incident reports and inspector general findings that took months to surface. A missed scheduling target will be obvious almost immediately.More Salesforce:Salesforce receives double blow over an AI productSalesforce bets another $1 billion despite AI spending cratering its stockWorkers just sent AI companies an ultimatumWall Street is pricing in more than one contractCRM shares rose 1.3% Friday morning on the news. The structure of the deal matters, too, since Agentic Enterprise License Agreements tie a portion of revenue to actual agent usage rather than a flat seat count, giving Salesforce room to grow the contract’s value if VA adoption expands.The same week, the Air Force expanded its use of Salesforce’s Missionforce platform to manage a $13.5 billion vehicle fleet, and ServiceNow shares climbed as federal AI deal flow lifted enterprise software stocks broadly, according to 24/7 Wall St.Oracle also picked up a separate enterprise software agreement with the Defense Department worth close to $7 billion, The Register reported.Analysts remain split on Salesforce’s broader AI strategy. Guggenheim upgraded the stock to Buy with a $228 price target earlier this month, while KeyBanc downgraded it to Sector Weight over softer customer checks, according to StocksToTrade.That split matters because Salesforce is not the only software vendor chasing federal agentic AI budgets.Oracle, ServiceNow, and Palantir are all pursuing similar agency contracts, and each new award now doubles as evidence in the argument over whether AI spending on enterprise software is durable or overhyped.A shift away from monolithic government contractsThe Cerner failure became Washington’s cautionary tale for large technology overhauls, and it changed how agencies structure new deals. Vendors already embedded in daily workflows now have an advantage over companies pitching a complete replacement.That shift explains why the VA, the Air Force and the Pentagon are all signing renewable agreements with incumbents instead of one massive fixed contract.Whether Salesforce’s approach actually cuts scheduling times, or joins Cerner as a cautionary story of its own, depends on execution the market cannot see yet.Investors watching Salesforce’s federal expansion should track whether the VA exercises both renewal years, since that decision will say more about the deal’s success than Friday’s stock move ever could.Related: Salesforce bets another $1 billion despite AI spending cratering its stock

A few weeks ago, prominent J6 activist Ivan Raiklin criminally referred former police officer Michael Fanone on seven counts.
Violations range from making false statements to Congress, obstruction of official proceedings on Capitol grounds, assaulting and impeding certain officers and employees, and unlawful activities on Capitol grounds. Raiklin submitted this referral to the acting Attorney General, Todd Blanche.
Fanone was at the Capitol on January 6, 2021, and claimed to be unconscious to further push the left’s anti-J6 narrative. He then testified at a January 6 committee hearing on July 27, 2021.
Raiklin, however, did not stop with just Fanone and has submitted several new criminal referrals.
Raiklin submitted one criminal referral to the Attorney for the District of Columbia, Jeanine Pirro and FBI Director, Kash Patel. This referral deals with alleged federal criminal violations arising from January 6 investigations and related proceedings.
The referral ranges from perjury and false statements made by Officer Harry Dunn during his J6 testimony, perjury for Officer David Lazarus during an encounter with the Oath Keepers on October 31, 2022, Officer Michael Byrd in the death of  Ashli Babbitt, Officer Lila Morris in the death of Rosanne Boyland, and Officer Jason Bagshaw’s excessive force used against  Victoria White.
The second criminal referral was submitted to Blanche, Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, and Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., requesting an investigation into the Department of Defense COVID-19 vaccine guidance, it’s implementation, and resulting violations of federal law.
On September 14, 2021, the Department of Defense issued an unconstitutional vaccine mandate for members of the armed forces. Hegseth overturned this unconstitutional vaccine mandate early last year.
The Gateway Pundit spoke to Raiklin in an exclusive interview, with Alicia Powe asking the questions. Raiklin decided to make the interview theatrical by presenting these referrals to TGP in front of reporters and correspondents of various legacy media outlets such as CNN, Fox News, NBC, and CBS so they could hear what he had to say and to “educate” these legacy outlets.

Three Criminal Investigation and Referral Requests of the Hon. @DAGToddBlanche:
I request the DOJ open criminal investigations and referrals on these three matters upon confirmation as the next United States Attorney General:

— Ivan Raiklin (@IvanRaiklin) July 15, 2026

Raiklin begins the interview by recapping the original criminal referral he submitted for Fanone.
Raiklin highlighted a recent court case that forced the release of the body cam footage on J6, a huge victory and one step closer to achieving justice:
“Just a few weeks ago, Tom Fitton’s Judicial Watch actually won a court case in the District of Columbia that forced the release of the body-worn camera of the DC Metropolitan Police Department,” Raiklin told TGP.
In addition to Raiklin’s referral, Fanone is also being investigated by the Fairfax County, Virginia Police Department for a potential role Fanone had in motivation potentially of individuals to “threaten” Raiklin.
Raiklin continued by presenting his next referral and began listing the names in it.

UPDATE: @IvanRaiklin has filed several criminal referrals ranging from violations during COVID, the police officers that murdered civilians on J6, and his original referral on Michael Fanone.

— Myles Morell (@MorellMedia) July 16, 2026

“The first one, Mr. Harry Dunn. Why? On July 27, 2021, similar to Mr. Fanone, he made false statements,” Raiklin told TGP.
“He also, on October 31, 2022, along with David Lazarus U.S. Capitol Police Officer, I allege committed perjury.”
The next name that Raiklin presented was Michael Byrd, Ashli Babbitt’s killer:
“This is a criminal referral for the proposed charge of murder, 18 USC Section 1111, and that’s for January 6, 2021,” Raiklin told TGP.
“Referring to Michael Byrd expending a round into Ashli Babbitt, resulting in her death. The undersigned requests that the Department of Justice investigate whether Lieutenant Byrd at the time unlawfully caused the death of Ashli Babbitt.”
Raiklin also points out that the referral alleged that Babbitt was unarmed and did not pose an imminent threat at the time of her murder.
The next name on Raiklin’s list was Lila Morris, Rosanne Boyland’s killer:
“Officer Morris struck Rosanne Boyland multiple times with a baton while Ms. Boyland was on the ground in a vulnerable position on January 6,” Raiklin told TGP.
Boyland was already unconscious at the time of her murder as Morris continuously beat her with a baton.
The final name on the referral was Jason Bagshaw, who attempted to murder Victoria White on J6. In July, 2022, Bagshaw also fatally shot Lazarus Wilson at the Wharf in Washington, DC.
“The DOJ should investigate further whether Jason Bagshaw committed attempted murder of Victoria White,” Raiklin told TGP.
“Open a formal criminal investigation review all identified documentary, video testimony, and forensic evidence, and present any supporting violations to a federal grand jury.”
Raiklin then took the opportunity to call out the mainstream media outlets in the room for failing to do their jobs:
“And the the reason why nothing has been done is if you could pan to this entire hallway, this is the reason why nothing has been done. Because none of these journalists from the mainstream disinformation purveyors, if you will, have reported on the factual evidence of what took place on January 6th.”
Raiklin then praises The Gateway Pundit and Lindell TV (who are also present nearby in the hallway) for “being at the forefront of exposing the truth related to the most censored issues over the last six years,” and January 6 is one of them.
Raiklin compared Blanche’s work as Acting Attorney General to Pam Bondi, the former Attorney General. Blanche “seems to be moving at a light year’s faster pace than Pam Bondi.”
Raiklin ended the interview by presenting his final criminal referral, which involves a request for an investigation on the Department of Defense for implementing it’s unconstitutional vaccine mandate back in 2021:
“So what am I trying to get the Department of Justice to do is to read all the evidence that’s already been presented through Senator Rand Paul’s, R-KY, committee, through Senator Ron Johnson’s, R-WI, subcommittee on investigations underneath Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee, and all the evidence that has been put forth and put together of the unlawful Department of Defense COVID-19 jab implementation memo.”
Raiklin is hoping to hold Anthony Fauci accountable for his role in the COVID-19 “plandemic.”
Michael Fanone did not respond to The Gateway Pundit’s request for comment.
