Significant Questions Emerge About Harris VP Tim Walz's Military Service, w/ Ungar-Sargon and Lowry

but I do want to talk about Tim Waltz because my God you my very first story at Fox News very young Cub reporter was Swift boo Veterans for truth coming after John krey and his misrepresentations about his military service Tim Waltz has a swift booat problem of his own if you look back at Alpha news and this is a great news organization we had them on when they did the documentary about the trial of Derrick chovin and the smear job by so many against him I'm not defending you know the tape I'm just saying if you actually watch this documentary you'll be horrified at what was done to chovin by the officials in charge in Minnesota anyway Alpha news vetted Tim Waltz hard back in 2018 when he was trying to elevate from Congressman to governor and he did it successfully and here's the headline former National Guardsman colon Tim Waltz is misleading the public about his time in service going to read you some excerpts Walts often refers to his military service as he campaigns for governor however former members of the Minnesota National Guard are raising concerns over the discrepancies in his story saying he's misleading the public about it Tim Waltz has embellished this is a quote and selectively omitted facts and circumstances of his military career for years said Thomas baren a retired command sergeant major for the M Minnesota National Guard Waltz 54 this is back in 18 joined the Army National Guard when he was 17 completing 20 years of service and then in 2001 just days after 911 Waltz reenlisted in the Minnesota Army National Guard he then retired 4 years later in 2005 ostensibly to run for Congress okay so far we're wondering what's wrong with any of this Baron says Waltz did serve a long and honorable career but it is his story surrounding his service post 911 that raises red flags they the discrepancies start with how long he reenlisted for um they say okay in 2006 as Waltz was amid his first campaign for Congress questions were raised about the timing of his retirement you see um waltz's sudden retirement after learning that his unit would be deployed to Iraq is what is under scrutiny he allegedly reenlisted for another six years which would have taken him well past uh the time of being his his they were trying to deploy him he would have had to stay he would have had to go and be deployed and suddenly he got out of it a couple of years early and what they say is that he quickly retired after learning that his unit south southern Minnesota's 1-125 fa Battalion would be sent to Iraq for Tim Waltz to abandon his fellow soldiers and quit when they needed experienced leadership most is disheartening and it dishonors those Brave American men and women who did answer the nation's call and continue to serve fight and unfortunately Die In Harm's Way um the governor or the then Congressman came out and defended this report at the time saying after completing my 20 years in 2001 I reenlisted to serve for an additional four right which would have taken him to 2005 and I retired the year before my Battalion was deployed in order to run for Congress then Alpha news goes on however official documents from the National Guard contradict that story according to his report of separation of military service Waltz reenlisted for 6 years six years not four as he claimed and his service obligation was not complete until September 2007 which was after his unit was deployed and went this the allegation is that he got out of military service he did not want to go to Iraq and then he lied about the circumstances around it here is Tom baren who I mentioned just a moment ago um speaking about this to Alpha news he abandoned us you know I mean what the hell kind of leader does that I mean he just soon as the shots were fired in Iraq he turned and ran the other way and hung his hat up and quit for Pete's sake if this guy quit if I say I'm not going to do it I mean what the hell kind of leadership is that if a company would say that we're going to deploy to Iraq or somewhere and you're going to be gone for whatever amount of time and then the foreman just says no I'm not going I mean what does that say to the 500 people that work in that factory there you know when he was a congressman he you know he bragged that he was he was a command sergeant retired command sergeant major I'm the highest ranking person ever in the in the house and you know all this lie that he was telling the state of Minnesota came out after 2018 after this was exposed and they said well he can say that he served as a command sergeant major but he can't say he's a retired one because he's not and that's what he was saying and he was saying that and there was lots of public you know lots of cards coming in the mail you know for him to be elected they said right on her he's retired command sergeant major just tooting his own horn just hanging on the coattails of people that actually are command sergeant majors that went through all the process and put all the time in it's Stolen Valor is really what it is I don't know if anybody else has done what he's done but we called it the truth about Tim Walls Rich this is potentially bad especially when you consider his he's going up in a debate and otherwise against a former Marine who did deploy who did not try to dodge who did go to Iraq yeah so I have not looked at at this personally myself yet it obviously needs to be litigated you would think if they're somewhat confident at the Harris campaign they're aware of this and they vetted it and they have an answer but this is the kind of thing that's potentially a torpedo to the bow of any major politician and it is the sort of thing people tend to shade right he wouldn't be the the first one but this will be a major Focus I I'm looking outside of this question I'm looking forward to the debate you know Waltz is not an idiot and um neither is JD Vance and JD Vance is the cliche is had is had you know a ro Rocky start but he will be loaded for bear and a a real professional when it comes to trying to demolish this guy and his records and I'm sure this Clash will be scheduled um at some point here and it'll be fascinating to watch the thing is baa you don't lie about your military service it's not that you can't get elected if you do uh Senator Richard blumen and his statements about serving in Iraq he got elected anyway um John krey did not get elected president after the Swift boat Veterans for truth came forward about what he was saying but that was a Minnesota election when Tom Barons and the others it's not just Tom uh there's Tom Tony wiel retired platoon Sergeant for the Minnesota Army National Guard said he could never vote for Tim Wallace as our governor when he abandoned his fellow soldiers like he did there are others who have come forward and will continue to come forward now now it's a national election we're outside of Minnesota and there will be plenty of military families who will be determined to get to the bottom of whether Tim Waltz might be in a position to send their sons to fight in combat when he was allegedly to chicken to do it himself yeah you know I I reached out to a number of very close friends who are veterans when um I was looking into this story because you know I I'm bringing humility to this I Haven served and T Tim Walls did serve 24 years quite honorably right in the National Guard and then he did seem to lie about it and my friends said this is really unacceptable both the lying about it saying that he you know retied as a command sergeant major when he hadn't actually completed that service but also abandoning his men and you know again as somebody who didn't serve who didn't go to Iraq who didn't deploy you know I don't know that I would have had the courage to do it it's the lying about it it's the covering up the fact that he did withdraw in order to avoid that deployment while his men were sent overseas to fight that fight um misrepresenting that suggests that he does have a guilty conscience about it that he does understand that there was something ignoble about that that voters don't want to see I like this is not going to go away he received a warant order to prepare to be mobilized according to Alpha news for active duty for a deployment to Iraq in early 2005 and on May 16 2005 he retired leaving his Battalion and its soldiers without a key leader as they prepared to go to war he had no answers when he was served and asked about the papers confirming these allegations and that's not going to hold not not in this election you know it it's interesting to me in part because Rich recently you had the kamla Harris team attacking him as he he won't be loyal to the country he'll only be loyal to Donald Trump and JD Vance heard that and took to the stump and attacked it immediately we have the sound bite watch I saw the other day kamla Harris questioned my loyalty to this country that's the word she used loyalty and it's an interesting word simplify loyalty because there is no greater sign of disloyalty to this country than what kamla Harris has done at our Southern border and I'd like to ask the vice president what has she done to question my loyalty to this country I served in the United States Marine Corps I went to Iraq for this country I built a business for this country and my running mate took a bullet for this country so my question to K Harris is what the hell have you done to question our loyalty to the United States of [Applause] America that's stirring and it's effective yeah that yeah that was good you know and he had an event he's having these so-called bracketing events as the media calls them with uh Harris and Waltz as they go around the country first stop in Philadelphia and these events that JD is holding they're not rallies he'll he'll have some ordinary people come up and talk have a a small group there and then he's just taking questions from reporters and he did this this afternoon highly effective especially effective when he's making the case that kamla is hiding via an event where he's taking questions from all comers now it helps to have a sympathetic crowd there that likes everything he says and Applause right any political performer likes that but it does speak to a huge self-confidence if you're tired of the same old coffee from those Mega
