True85% confidence5 sourcesSep 16, 2026A Haitian national who was in the U.S. illegally was deported to Haiti after making social media statements about not returning.Said by ADHS 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.True60% confidence7 sourcesSep 16, 2026Vince's show airs live at 8 a.m. Eastern time on weekdays.Said by AMultiple 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.True60% confidence4 sourcesSep 16, 2026Haley Carania's show airs live at noon on weekdays.Said by AA 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).True62% confidence3 sourcesSep 16, 2026Sean Farish's show airs live at 1 p.m. Eastern time on weekdays.Said by ASources 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.True90% confidence6 sourcesSep 16, 2026The 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.Can’t tell70% confidence5 sourcesSep 16, 2026In 2025, the U.S. murder rate saw its single largest decline in recorded history.Said by 2BWhile 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.Can’t tell35% confidence3 sourcesSep 16, 2026Native Path offers over 45% off, free shipping, and a 365 day money back guarantee on collagen products.Said by AThe 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.Can’t tell40% confidence5 sourcesSep 16, 2026The FBI has arrested 31,000 violent gang members.Said by 2BThe 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.Can’t tell40% confidence7 sourcesSep 16, 2026The FBI has arrested 4,260 foreign terrorist organization-related aliens.Said by 2BMultiple 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.Can’t tell30% confidence3 sourcesSep 16, 2026Dan Bongino has received 10 to 15 phone calls from President Trump asking for his opinion.Said by AThe 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.Can’t tell50% confidence5 sourcesSep 16, 2026The 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.Can’t tell40% confidence5 sourcesSep 16, 2026The crime rate dropped because of President Trump's use of Title 8 for deportations.Said by AThe 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.
