We All Want The Truth (Ep. 2596)

What it claims

Claims

1. 1TrueKash Patel serves as FBI Director.Multiple primary and tier1 sources establish that Kash Patel was confirmed by the Senate on February 20, 2025 and serves as FBI Director, and sources published through late October 2026 (AP, Reuters, CNN, Britannica) still identify him in that role, so the claim held on 2026-09-16. The extraction faithfully reflects the post, which referred to 'FBI Director Kash Patel'.6 sources →
2. 2Can’t tellThe Dan Bongino Show is broadcast exclusively on Rumble.The claim departs from the passage: the post says the video podcast is exclusively on Rumble, but the extracted claim widens this to the show being broadcast exclusively on Rumble. Sources support the narrower video reading (exclusive video and livestream rights on Rumble from February 2026) while showing the audio is distributed on all major podcast platforms, which contradicts the broader literal reading.5 sources →
3. 3TrueThe FBI disrupted an ISIS-inspired terror attack.Multiple sources report FBI arrests that stopped ISIS-inspired attack plots, including the Butler, Pennsylvania case from mid-September 2026 that the post refers to. The claim is a generic restatement of that reporting and matches the post's headline, so the extraction is faithful.6 sources →

   ▶ 28:20

4. 4Can’t tellAmerican Financing offers rates in the 5s with an APR starting at 6.327% for well-qualified borrowers.The claim faithfully reflects the sponsor read in the post, but the only sources are repeated American Financing ad copy, which is circular and not independent verification of the 6.327% APR. No independent source (regulator, lender rate sheet, or fact-checker) confirms or disputes the rate as of 2026-08-19.8 sources →
5. 5MixedDan Bongino has been out of the government for close to six months.The claim is right that Bongino had left government by 2026-09-16, but the sources date his departure to early January 2026 (AP lists January 9; Wikipedia lists his term ending January 3, 2026), which makes him out roughly eight to nine months, not 'close to six months.' The post itself says 'close to six months,' so the claim is faithful to the passage and the duration is the part the record contradicts.5 sources →

   ▶ 2:06

6. 6MixedIn the three months leading up to the 2024 presidential election, the spot price of gold increased by over 12%.No source directly measures gold's change over the three months before the November 5, 2024 election, so the claim can only be estimated from monthly data. Those estimates vary by measure: compounding COMEX monthly changes from source [2] gives roughly +13% for August through October, while monthly-average figures in [6] give roughly +9% from August to October and about +12% from July. The claimed 12% sits within that range, so the verdict depends on the measure used.4 sources →

   ▶ 3:04

7. 7TrueBirch Gold Group has an A-plus rating with the Better Business Bureau.The Better Business Bureau's own profile for Birch Gold Group, published 2026-10-23, shows an A+ rating, and an independent USA Today review from May 2026 also reports the A+ rating. The claim was accurate as of its 2026-10-28 posting date, and the sources show no later change; the rating is paired with mixed recent customer reviews, which does not contradict the rating itself.6 sources →

   ▶ 3:29

8. 8TrueHuman bodies lose one to 2% of collagen every year after age 30.Several sources report that collagen loss after age 30 runs about 1 to 1.5% per year, which sits within the claim's 1 to 2% range. The 2% figure appears in the sources only for women after menopause, and the post's word 'often' was dropped in extraction, which is a faithful paraphrase that does not change the verdict.8 sources →

   ▶ 4:19

9. 9MixedBy age 60, many people are producing half of the collagen they produced at a younger age.Sources give competing estimates of collagen loss by age 60: one says producing as little as 60% (Costhetics), another says about 50-60% by age 70 (antiagingcare), and another says about 80% lost by 60 (Yahoo/Kenkare), which would mean roughly 20% remains. The 'half' figure falls inside this range, but the Cleveland Clinic source gives no number, and the only source explicitly saying 'half by 60' is the sponsor's product ad (Native Path), which is not independent.7 sources →

   ▶ 4:23

10. 10TrueCollagen helps with joint stiffness, mobility, and bone density.The claim matches the post's wording, which is an accurate extraction. A 2023 PMC review of the literature reports that collagen supplementation increases bone strength, density and mass and improves joint stiffness and mobility, and secondary health outlets describe similar benefits. Evidence is more modest than the post's enthusiasm: Cleveland Clinic says results are often conflicting, and Healthline notes improved stiffness but not pain in osteoarthritis reviews.6 sources →

    ▶ 4:30

11. 11Can’t tellNative Path offers over 45% off, free shipping, and a 365 day money back guarantee on collagen products.The sources do not establish Native Path's offer as of the 2026-09-16 posting date. The only product-specific source is the company's own page, published 2026-10-29, which lists free shipping and a 365-day money-back guarantee but says 'up to 44% off', not over 45%, and the Snopes and Full Fact items are generic or unrelated.3 sources →

    ▶ 4:42

12. 12TrueDan Bongino was employed at the second level of government.Multiple tier-1 sources (Reuters, AP, NBC) report that Bongino served as FBI deputy director, the bureau's No. 2 official under Director Kash Patel, from March 2025 until his January 2026 departure. That matches the post's point that he was 'at the second level' and not 'in charge of the place at the top.' The claim's phrase 'second level of government' is a loose paraphrase, but it is read here as the post intended.5 sources →

    ▶ 7:53

13. 13TrueRecords regarding the Butler assassination attempt were turned over to Senator Grassley in March.A Fox News report (tier3) states that the records about the Butler assassination attempt were turned over to Sen. Chuck Grassley in March, and the claim matches the passage's wording. The Huckabee Post says the FBI gave the documents to Dan Bongino in March, which is a different recipient and does not contradict the Grassley account, and the other sources do not give a date.5 sources →

    ▶ 9:49

14. 14TrueBill Bratton served as the police chief in New York.Multiple reliable sources confirm Bill Bratton served as New York's police commissioner, in 1994–1996 under Mayor Giuliani and again from January 2014 to September 2016 under Mayor de Blasio. The claim's wording matches the passage, which refers to him as the police chief in New York.7 sources →

    ▶ 11:03

15. 15FalseThere has been a border invasion of upwards of 20 million people.The claim that there was a border invasion of upwards of 20 million people is contradicted by fact-checkers, who found the figure highly inflated. Official CBP data show about 10.8 million Biden-era encounters, or roughly 12-13 million with estimated gotaways, and the sources note that arrests are not the same as individual people. The extraction's wording tracks the post's Biden-era reference faithfully, so the grading is on the figure itself.4 sources →

    ▶ 18:17

16. 16OpinionThe Democrats do not care about safe streets, according to the host.A judgement, not a statement of fact. It has no true or false answer.

    ▶ 21:58

17. 17MixedThe FBI has arrested 54,000 violent criminals since the beginning of the Trump administration.The 54,000 figure is the FBI's and White House's own count, repeated across primary and official statements, so the claim is supported on the bureau's measure. MS NOW and Raw Story report that this count includes arrests by state, local and other federal agencies when an FBI employee was present, and the FBI acknowledges many of those are not its cases, so the figure fails under a stricter FBI-case measure. A later FBI release also cites 47,000 arrests over 21 months, which is not reconciled with the 54,000 figure.7 sources →

    ▶ 23:47

18. 18MixedThe number of violent criminals arrested by the FBI is up 90% compared to the 18-month period prior to the Trump administration.The 54,000 arrests and 90% increase are supported as the FBI's official count (White House release and Patel's Senate testimony), but MS NOW's review of DOJ data says that count includes state, local, and other federal arrests made when an FBI employee was present, and that the FBI made fewer violent-criminal cases than in the Biden period. The figure holds on the official measure and fails on an FBI-only measure. The claim also departs slightly from the post, which says 'up 90% from the 18 month year period prior to that' without naming the Trump administration as the baseline, but that is a faithful paraphrase.8 sources →

    ▶ 23:57

19. 19Can’t tellThe FBI has arrested 31,000 violent gang members.The claim matches the wording of the post, which said 31,000 violent gang members were arrested by the FBI. The only primary source, Patel's September 2026 Senate testimony, instead says the FBI 'disrupted over 31,000 gangs and criminal enterprises,' a different measure from arrests of gang members. The other figures are the claimant's own words, a White House-echoing AP7AM item, and a hearing exchange where Patel simply agreed, so none independently verifies the arrest figure.5 sources →

    ▶ 24:03

20. 20TrueThe number of violent gang members arrested by the FBI is up 30%.The 30% increase is reported consistently by the White House, FBI Director Patel's Senate testimony, and the FBI's own October post, all tied to the same 18-month comparison. The sources frame the figure as 'disrupted' gangs and criminal enterprises in the testimony and FBI post, not strictly 'arrested' gang members, and the FBI post's 4,639 count for disruptions differs sharply from the 31,000 figure, so the measure is not fully clear, and all of it traces to the FBI and administration.4 sources →

    ▶ 24:08

21. 21TrueThe FBI has removed 3,258 kilograms of fentanyl.The only source giving the exact 3,258 kg figure is a September 16, 2026 FBI oversight hearing transcript, where the post's own words repeat it. Sen. Kennedy's exchange with Director Patel, who answered 'Yep,' confirms the FBI has seized more than 3,200 kg since January 2025, which is consistent with 3,258 kg; no source contradicts it.3 sources →

    ▶ 24:11

22. 22TrueThe FBI has identified 11,081 child victims.The claim matches the FBI's own reporting of 11,081 child victims located and identified since January 2025, confirmed in Director Patel's Senate testimony and hearing transcripts. The sources come largely from the FBI itself, and the testimony says 'identified and/or located,' so the figure is an agency count rather than independently verified; the claim also drops 'located,' a narrowing that does not change the core assertion.6 sources →

    ▶ 24:15

23. 23TrueThe FBI has arrested 5,072 child predators and human traffickers.The 5,072 figure is the FBI's own count, stated by Director Patel at the September 15, 2026 Senate hearing (transcripts from CNN and PBS confirm the wording). His later sworn testimony says the FBI arrested 'over 5,000' child predators and human traffickers since January 2025, a 13% increase, which is consistent with the figure. Fox and Yahoo report a larger 'just over 6,000' for a different 21-month window, which is a different scope rather than a contradiction, and the claim carries no timeframe. The claim's 'The FBI' is the post's 'this FBI' and needs no change.6 sources →

    ▶ 24:21

24. 24TrueThe number of child predators and human traffickers arrested by the FBI is up 13%.The FBI's own website, FBI Director Patel's Senate testimony, and Chairman Grassley's hearing release all report over 5,000 (5,072 on the FBI site) child predator and human trafficker arrests, up 13% from the preceding 18-month period. The extraction faithfully matches the post's figures; the 13% is a comparison to the prior 18 months, and later sources reporting about 6,000 arrests over 21 months at the same 13% rate do not contradict it.8 sources →

    ▶ 24:26

25. 25TrueThe number of foreign terrorist organization-related aliens arrested by the FBI is up 38%.The FBI and its director repeatedly report that foreign terrorist organization-related arrests rose 38% over the prior 18-month period, and the extraction matches the post's own "That's up 38%" about the 4,260 arrests. The 38% figure comes from Patel's own remarks and is repeated in a DOJ release, so it is not independently verified; Patel's prepared written testimony instead gives 42%, a close discrepancy in magnitude that does not reverse the direction.6 sources →

    ▶ 24:37

26. 26MixedThe FBI has executed 86 foreign transfers of custody for perps captured overseas in 2025.The figure of 86 foreign transfers of custody is reported consistently across several outlets, citing FBI data. However, the sources describe the 86 as a total over Patel's first 18 months in office, not as a count for calendar year 2025, so the 2025 timeframe is contradicted.6 sources →

    ▶ 24:38

27. 27MixedThe number of foreign transfers of custody executed by the FBI increased by 54% in 2025.The 54% figure and the 86 transfers appear consistently in the FBI-sourced Fox News reporting and the hearing transcripts, but the sources measure the increase over Patel's first 18 months against the last 18 months of the Biden administration, not as a 2025 year-over-year increase. The claim's '2025' timeframe and baseline therefore don't match the record, and the figures rest on FBI statements rather than independent data.5 sources →

    ▶ 24:38

28. 28TrueThe number of foreign transfers of custody executed by the FBI is up 54%.The 54% figure for foreign transfers of custody (86 FTOCs) is reported consistently by the FBI and by Fox News Digital, which attributes it to FBI data. No source contradicts it, but it rests on the FBI's own self-reported figures rather than an independent audit, and the sources compare it against an 18-month prior period rather than a 2025 calendar-year baseline.7 sources →

    ▶ 24:43

29. 29Can’t tellIn 2025, the U.S. murder rate saw its single largest decline in recorded history.While U.S. murder rates saw historic declines in 2023 and 2024, the provided sources do not contain specific data or confirmation that 2025 experienced the single largest decline in recorded history.5 sources →

    ▶ 24:47

30. 30TrueThe FBI delivered the largest reduction in the murder rate in the history of America according to the Uniform Crime Report.The FBI's 2025 Uniform Crime Report shows an 18.1% drop in the murder rate, the largest year-to-year decrease since the FBI began national estimates in 1936, so the claim is supported. The FBI's own release frames the record as one for violent crime overall, and the murder-specific record comes from NBC, USA Today and the Washington Post, which all report it. The claim's 'history of America' wording is a slightly broader framing of the 1936-onward record, and the claim matches the passage faithfully.4 sources →

    ▶ 24:47

31. 31MixedThe FBI captured ten of the top ten most wanted fugitives on the FBI's list.Read literally, the claim says the FBI has captured all ten entries currently on its Ten Most Wanted list, and sources contradict that, since the live list still showed ten entries including an uncaptured fugitive in August 2026. Read as the post intended, that the FBI has captured ten Top Ten fugitives during this administration, the record supports it: a Fox report dated 2026-10-28 says ten were apprehended, but that is after the 2026-09-16 posting date and the 0.4-credibility outlets are the only ones giving that count.3 sources →

    ▶ 25:05

32. 32TrueThe FBI captured a fugitive in Venezuela this past weekend who had been on the most wanted list for years.Multiple outlets reporting on FBI Director Kash Patel's Senate testimony in September 2026 say the FBI captured Aníbal Alexander Canelón Aguirre in Venezuela over the weekend before the announcement, and that he had been on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list for years. The claim matches the post's wording, and the AP article (source 2) concerns a different man, Alvaro Pulido. Confidence is capped because the reports trace back to Patel's own announcement and US authorities gave no further details on the capture.7 sources →

    ▶ 25:15

33. 33MixedThe violent crime rate is the lowest it has been in American history.The record supports the claim for murder: the FBI reports the 2025 murder rate of 4.1 per 100,000 tied the lowest since FBI national estimates began. For overall violent crime, sources place the rate at its lowest since 1969 (BBC, for 2024) and 'near multi-decade lows' (Oklahoma Watch), not as the lowest in American history. Factcheck.org also rejects the framing of the 2025 drop as a Trump-era turnaround, though it does not dispute the level. The 2025 decline of 9.3% may put the rate below 1969 levels, but no source says so directly.6 sources →

    ▶ 26:44

34. 34MixedMurders have dropped to the lowest rate in 90 years.The FBI's 2025 data supports that the murder rate fell to its lowest level on record (4.1 per 100,000, tied with 1955-56 and the lowest since 1900), but the sources tie the "90 years" figure to the record-largest violent-crime drop since 1936, not to the murder rate's low. The claim's time frame is therefore understated relative to the record, though the basic claim is not contradicted; as of the 2026-09-16 post, the data had been released on 2026-08-14.6 sources →

    ▶ 26:48

35. 35TrueThe FBI stopped terrorist attacks in California, Texas, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania.The FBI's own September 2026 Senate testimony lists four disruptions in December 2025 in California, Texas, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania, and independent AP and Reuters reporting confirms the North Carolina plot was thwarted, with no source contradicting the claim. The claim drops the December 2025 timeframe, which the post supplies, and the Texas and Pennsylvania cases rest mainly on the FBI's own account, described as disruptions or arrests rather than detailed attack plots.5 sources →

    ▶ 28:12

36. 36TrueThe FBI stopped an ISIS-inspired attack in Pittsburgh this past weekend.CBS Pittsburgh reports, citing federal law enforcement officials, that the FBI thwarted an ISIS-inspired mass casualty attack by a Pennsylvania man, and the claim matches the passage. The sources do not explicitly date the arrest to the weekend before 2026-09-16, and most other sources only repeat Director Patel's own statements, so confidence is moderate.4 sources →

    ▶ 28:18

37. 37TrueFBI Director Kash Patel stated that the FBI will follow the law and send agents to polling locations if there is a violation of law.Patel made the statement at the September 15, 2026 Senate Judiciary hearing, and a published transcript (The Atlantic) and a second report both quote it as: "The FBI will follow the law. If there's a reason to go there because there's been a violation of the law, we will. Otherwise, we won't." The claim faithfully paraphrases this quote, with "polling locations" taken from the Blumenthal exchange that the passage responds to. Some outlets (Yahoo, Ground News) characterize this as Patel confirming or being open to deploying agents, which overstates the quote, but that framing does not contradict the statement itself. As of 2026-09-16 the statement stood, and later coverage does not reverse it.5 sources →

    ▶ 33:53

38. 38FalseDan Bongino's grandparents changed their last name from Bonjorno to Bongino after arriving at Ellis Island.The claim that the grandparents changed their name from Bonjorno to Bongino after arriving at Ellis Island conflicts with the National Park Service, which states it is a myth that names were changed at Ellis Island because inspectors worked from shipping-company manifests. Bongino's later show transcript attributes the change to a misspelling by Ellis Island paperwork about his great-grandparents, not a deliberate change by his grandparents, and the claim departs from the passage only in describing the name as an Ellis Island change for the grandparents, which the post does say.4 sources →

    ▶ 35:50

39. 39FalseThe United States shut down 67 nuclear reactors.The sources show the US has permanently closed about 12 commercial reactors since 2012-2013, with a few more retirements announced, not 67. The only 67 in the sources is a count of canceled construction projects from 1979 to 1988, which is a different thing.5 sources →

    ▶ 39:17

40. 40FalseChina is building 100 fission reactors.The claim that China is building 100 fission reactors is contradicted by the sources, which put China's reactors under construction at roughly 33 to 38 (EIA citing PRIS: 36; Nuclear News Network: 33; World Nuclear Association: 38). The figure of 100 only approaches the total of operating plus under-construction units (about 60 to 65 operating), not the number being built, and the post's sources do not support a 100-reactor build-out. The claim matches the post's wording, so no extraction issue arises.4 sources →

    ▶ 39:23

41. 41TrueThe Y2K computer bug was caused by computer systems using two digits to represent years, leading to concerns that systems would interpret the year 2000 as 1900.Multiple primary and tier-1 sources state that the Y2K bug stemmed from programs storing years with two digits, so systems could read 2000 as 1900. The post's claim matches this, and the sources also show that the feared failures largely did not occur, which the claim does not dispute.6 sources →

    ▶ 40:01

42. 42TrueElon Musk proposed that AI companies use each other's test harnesses to evaluate models for risks such as bioweapon development, nuclear bomb creation, or deceptive behavior.Multiple sources from mid-September 2026 report that Musk proposed AI labs run each other's test harnesses to check models for bioweapon, nuclear bomb, or deceptive-behavior risks, matching the claim and the quoted passage. Most sources are unrated outlets relaying CNBC and AFP reporting, so confidence is moderated; the claim does not depart from the passage.11 sources →

    ▶ 43:04

43. 43MixedDonald Trump is a consensus seeker who consults with Elon Musk, Dario Amodei, Sam Altman, open source developers, silicon chip makers, and Jensen Huang regarding technology policy.The record shows Trump meeting and signing an accord with Amodei, Musk and Huang, and phoning Huang, but as of the 2026-09-16 posting date it mostly shows him rejecting Amodei, Altman and Musk's calls for oversight and echoing Huang. The 'consensus seeker' label is the claimant's opinion, and no source addresses consultation with open source developers or chip makers beyond Huang; the extraction matches the post's own wording.5 sources →

    ▶ 45:29

44. 44TrueDavid Sachs is a technological advisor to President Trump.On 2026-09-16, David Sacks was described by Reuters as President Trump's outside tech adviser and co-chair of the president's tech advisory board, and the White House confirmed in March 2026 that he co-chairs PCAST. The claim's 'very close' wording is a minor embellishment that no source contradicts, and the role he held in 2026 was co-chair of a federal advisory council rather than the earlier AI czar post.4 sources →

    ▶ 45:51

45. 45Can’t tellDan Bongino has received 10 to 15 phone calls from President Trump asking for his opinion.The sources do not verify the count of 10 to 15 calls or that Trump called to ask for Bongino's opinion. A 2023 Newsweek piece by Bongino describes Trump calling him several times to check on him, and 2025 reports confirm a call, but none addresses the number of calls or their purpose, and the claim rests on the host's own anecdote.3 sources →

    ▶ 47:24

46. 46TrueDaniel Hootenlocker wrote an article stating that humans are to blame for AI failures.The Wall Street Journal published an opinion piece titled "Humans Are to Blame for AI Failures" on September 15, 2026, written by Daniel Huttenlocher, dean of MIT's Schwarzman College of Computing. The claim's spelling "Hootenlocker" is the post's own misspelling of that name, and the referent is the same person and article, so the core assertion holds.3 sources →

    ▶ 47:57

47. 47FalseHelix Sleep offers a 120-night sleep trial for its mattresses.The claim that Helix offers a 120-night sleep trial is contradicted by Helix's own support and sleep-trial pages, which describe a 365-night trial on its mattresses, and by a 2026 review that also reports 365 days. The 2022 Helix page already stated the 365-night trial, so the figure was wrong as of the 2026-09-16 post. The post's passage matches the extracted claim, so this is not an extraction addition.3 sources →

    ▶ 54:52

48. 48TrueHelix offers a limited lifetime warranty on its mattresses.Helix's own warranty pages state that all Helix mattresses carry a limited lifetime warranty, and a Living Spaces copy of the Helix warranty says the same. The claim matches the passage's wording, and the sources show the warranty was in effect as of 2026-09-16. The warranty terms differ for mattresses bought before 02/01/2025, but the sources still describe a lifetime warranty on mattresses.3 sources →

    ▶ 54:55

49. 49TrueHelix is offering 27% off site-wide for listeners.A Forbes Vetted page published 2026-09-17 says Helix offered an exclusive code for 27% off sitewide valid through September 30, 2026, one day after the 2026-09-16 post. No source directly covers the Dan Bongino listener offer, but Savage Lovecast sponsor reads from October 2026 show Helix running similar 27%-sitewide offers exclusive to podcast listeners, so the claim is directionally supported. The extraction matches the passage, and the post's 'my listeners' wording is consistent with the sponsorship pattern.7 sources →

    ▶ 55:01

50. 50TrueLindsey Clancy admitted to murdering her three children.Multiple reliable sources, including Reuters and the Boston Globe, report that Lindsay Clancy admits she killed her three children in January 2023. She pleaded not guilty, and her defense argues postpartum psychosis rather than disputing the killings. The claim's spelling 'Lindsey' differs from the sources' 'Lindsay' but refers to the same person.8 sources →

    ▶ 56:46

51. 51MixedThe FBI under Director Kash Patel does not allow individuals who have engaged in bestiality to be employed as FBI agents.Read as the post intended (someone who voluntarily engaged in bestiality is barred from FBI employment), the record supports the claim: Patel testified that voluntary participants are still disqualified, and ThePrint reports he answered 'No' when asked whether someone who had sex with an animal could become an agent. Read literally ('does not allow individuals who have engaged in bestiality'), the claim is contradicted: AP and others report the FBI now lets some applicants who engaged in bestiality, namely trafficking victims, be considered rather than automatically disqualified. The claim departs from the passage only in its broad 'individuals who have engaged' wording, which the post's 'if you engaged' framing narrows to voluntary conduct. As of 2026-09-16, the policy was as described.7 sources →

    ▶ 1:02:16

52. 52MixedThe FBI and its partners have arrested two illegal aliens in Louisiana charged with fraudulent voter registration.The record supports that the FBI and DOJ charged two people in Louisiana in a case involving fraudulent voter registration, but it contradicts the claim that both were illegal aliens. The DOJ release describes one non-citizen (Wedderburn, charged with voting by an alien) and a separate Louisiana individual (Johnson) charged with fraudulently registering him, with no indication Johnson is an alien. The claim also drops the post's 'two more' framing, which is a faithful-enough paraphrase and not graded against it.6 sources →

    ▶ 1:03:13

53. 53MixedThere have been six charges of fraudulent voter registration across three individuals in Louisiana in the last week.The DOJ and Attorney General Blanche reported six individuals charged across three states (California, Kansas, Louisiana) in the week before September 14, 2026, which matches the post's 'sixth such charge across three' wording. The claim places all six charges in Louisiana, but the sources show only two Louisiana defendants, so the Louisiana scope is contradicted and the claim departs from the passage's apparent multi-state meaning.5 sources →

    ▶ 1:03:20

54. 54Can’t tellThe crime rate dropped because of President Trump's use of Title 8 for deportations.The sources confirm that crime fell in 2025 and in early 2026, but none examines whether Title 8 deportations caused that drop. The administration and DHS credit deportations, while the NYT notes the trend began before Trump's current term and independent analysts dispute the attribution. The post also says "Title A" (a transcription of Title 8), so the Title 8 specificity is the extraction's wording rather than the post's.5 sources →

    ▶ 1:07:01

55. 55TrueSean Farish's show airs live at 1 p.m. Eastern time on weekdays.Sources from around the claim's date describe Sean Farish's show streaming live at 1 p.m. Eastern on weekdays, which matches the claim. The post itself says only "every day" at "one", so the Eastern and weekday details come from the sources rather than the post, and the sources are show-related transcripts or trade coverage rather than fully independent records.3 sources →

56. 56TrueHaley Carania's show airs live at noon on weekdays.A June 2026 episode of the show has the host saying it airs live at noon Monday through Friday, and late-October 2026 Westwood One listings place 'Scrolling with Hayley' at noon to 1 p.m. (on Election Day). The claim is therefore supported as of 2026-09-16, though one old X bio snapshot lists 6 PM ET, and the sources spell the host's name inconsistently (Carania/Caronia, Hayley/Haley).4 sources →

57. 57TrueVince's show airs live at 8 a.m. Eastern time on weekdays.Multiple podcast listings published in October 2026 state that VINCE is watched live on Rumble Mon-Fri at 8AM ET, and a Westwood One/Silverloch schedule describes the VINCE podcast airing 8-9am ET. The post itself says 'every morning at 8 a.m.', and the 'weekdays' wording matches the Mon-Fri listings. The sources are unrated aggregators that partly echo the show's own promotional text, which limits confidence.7 sources →

58. 58TrueThe Dan Bongino Show airs live at 10 a.m. Eastern time on weekdays.Two sources place the show's live airing at 10 a.m. ET on weekdays: the show's own podcast page (bongino.com, dated 2022) and a 2026 episode transcript that repeats the 10 a.m. live time. Radio affiliate schedules (noon-3 p.m. in 2021, 11-2 and 9-12 in later listings) reflect local station broadcasts, not the show's Rumble livestream, so they do not contradict the claim; the sources do not cover the exact 2026-09-16 date directly.6 sources →

59. 59Can’t tellThe FBI has arrested 4,260 foreign terrorist organization-related aliens.Multiple outlets report that FBI Director Kash Patel told the Senate Judiciary Committee the bureau arrested 4,260 people linked to foreign terrorist organizations over 18 months, but these reports only record the claim as made. No tier1 or primary source independently verifies the count, and one low-credibility source notes the figures rely on bureau-compiled data that is hard to verify independently.7 sources →

60. 60TrueSenator Richard Blumenthal demanded that the FBI not deploy agents to polling locations on or around Election Day.Multiple sources confirm that at the September 15, 2026 Senate Judiciary hearing, Sen. Richard Blumenthal pressed FBI Director Kash Patel to commit that FBI agents would not be sent to the polls on Election Day, which amounts to the demand the claim describes. Patel refused to give that commitment, so the request was made and not granted, consistent with the claim as of 2026-09-16. The claim is a faithful paraphrase of the passage; the post's 'under any circumstances' wording is rhetorical and the sources show Blumenthal's request was for an unequivocal commitment rather than a categorical legal demand.7 sources →

61. 61TruePresident Trump used Title 8 to deport illegal aliens more quickly.Sources indicate the Trump administration expanded expedited removal, a Title 8 process, to apply to undocumented immigrants apprehended anywhere in the country, and the White House says this accelerated deportations. No source directly says Title 8 was used to speed removals in those words, so the link is inferred, and no source contradicts it.7 sources →

62. 62TrueA Haitian national who was in the U.S. illegally was deported to Haiti after making social media statements about not returning.DHS confirmed that ICE deported Haitian national Wisteguens Jean Quely Charles, an illegal alien, to Haiti on September 10, 2026. Coverage of his January 2025 arrest, filmed by Fox News, shows he declared he would not return to Haiti; that footage went viral on social media. The claim's wording slightly blurs this, since the statements were recorded during an arrest rather than posted by him, but the core assertion holds.5 sources →
