4. Epstein Files, Media Weaponization, and the “Witch Hunt”

O’Reilly’s Take:

• Calling the Congressional hearings on the Clintons and the Epstein inquiry a “farce” and “witch hunt” (13:46):
  • “Hillary Clinton never should have been called...It’s a pure smear Trump action and it harms the country.” — Bill O'Reilly (13:46)

  • Points out factual gaps in major accusations and misrepresentations by media.
• Due process and media’s disregard for it:

• Wider targeting and anti-Americanism:
  • Epstein “weaponized” against others (e.g., Ehud Barak); comparisons to McCarthyism (19:32).

Guest: Pat Fallon (Congressman, Texas – Oversight Committee)

• $9 billion federal fraud uncovered in Minnesota, mostly by Somali-American groups.

• Governor and Attorney General Responses:
  • Neither Walz nor Ellison took accountability; both deflected, offered excuses, or denied the scale of the problem (25:44, 27:09).
  • Fallon attacks Ellison’s arrogance and lack of concern (28:00).
  • Democrats in hearing avoided the topic, focusing instead on Trump.

---

6. Trump Georgia Prosecution: DOJ and Biden Administration Involvement

Guest: John Solomon (CEO, Just The News)

• FOIA Lawsuit and Revelations:
  • Solomon’s team won access to documents after multi-year lawsuit, showing collaboration between Biden’s DOJ and Fani Willis.
• Four Key Revelations:
  1. Direct Coordination:
     • DOJ and Fani Willis coordinated to maximize legal/financial jeopardy against Trump and allies, doubling up charges (30:24, 32:04).
     • "The Justice Department's all in on that." — John Solomon (30:24)
  2. Federal Grant ($18M) as Incentive:
     • DOJ invited Willis to request a sole-source, non-competitive $18 million grant to support her prosecution (32:14).
  3. Waiver of Executive Privilege:
     • Biden White House unprecedently waived Trump’s executive privilege for purposes of state-level prosecution (33:06).
  4. J6 Congressional Committee Involvement:
     • Committee sent evidence directly to Willis mid-investigation for use against Trump (33:56).
• Legal Implications:
  • Future investigations may see “otherwise legal” acts as “overt acts” in a criminal conspiracy if intent was to deny Trump civil rights (34:33).
  • O’Reilly characterizes all this as clear “election interference” (35:36).
  • “They're trying to alter the election, the vote, okay? By assisting a woman who's obviously irresponsible, the whole case is thrown out, and she was disbarred from adjudicating, but she still the attorney general.” — Bill O'Reilly (35:36)

Welcome to the no Spin News Weekend edition.

So as we have explained a number of times in the liberal precincts and this does not happen in the conservative world, every morning there is a memo that goes out to media and to certain politicians and it goes from DC K Street and it gets emailed. So you, that's why you hear the same phrases over and over and over again. Because that this is a suggestive wording. The first one that went out very quickly on Saturday was harm's way. Roll it.

[John Solomon]

I'm just terribly fearful that we may

[Bill O'Reilly]

be putting our sons and daughters in

[John Solomon]

uniform in harm's way.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Is it worth our sons and daughters going into harm's way and risking their lives and risking injury and killing civilians when the President has not expressed a valid rationale for a war like this.

[Pat Fallon]

I am praying for our service members, for our soldiers and sailors and airmen who are now in harm's way.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Now, I could give you 50 of those same wording. Sons and daughters, harm's way. Sons and daughters, harm's way. When you hear this kind of stuff, just know it is organized. All right. The second one that went out shortly after that one was what's next in Iran?

[Isaac Shore]

Go.

[Pat Fallon]

It's boiled down to me to three very simple questions.

[Isaac Shore]

Why now?

[Pat Fallon]

Why not? And what's next? You know, the Iranian people are very

[John Solomon]

very happy for the most part that

[Pat Fallon]

the ayatollah has been deposed and they're now looking for, okay, what's next? What is going through your mind right

[Bill O'Reilly]

now and what are your concerns about what's next? It's absurd. Nobody knows what's next. Okay. This isn't some kind of board game. Drives me nuts. All right. I have anything else to tell you about Iran, just that we are on it. So stay close to billo reilly.com anything that happens or if I talk to President Trump or anything like that, it'll be right up there. We know, boom, boom, boom, just like over the weekend. Joining us now from Washington is Jonathan Saya. He is the Iran program analyst at the foundation for Defense of Democracies. So, number one, I did a lot of bloviating there on my part. I hope I didn't bore you. Did I say anything wrong?

[Jonathan Saya]

No. Everything you pointed out was entirely accurate. Of course, the Islamic Republic has always sought to gain sanctions relief so they can try their best to fuel terrorism. And they've gotten that under President Obama. Of course, we saw very weak sanction enforcement under President Biden. And, you know, that's something that's played into their strategy. And, and if you look at, you know, Tehran's attacks in the region, they accelerated definitely under Biden, again, because they were not afraid of consequences. And of course, now they are. So, you know, deterrence is one thing, and peace through strength is something that the president has been very vocal about. And we're about to really see the achievements that are going to come from that strategy. Of course, I just wanted to point out one other crucial point here. When we talk about putting U.S. personnel in harm's way, we have to keep in mind this is a regime that regardless, was trying to kill Americans. If you look at any American, whether they were murdered or if they were injured in Iraq or in Afghanistan, all through Iranian weapons. So this is not somehow some issue that just came out out of the blue. This is something that the regime has been doing for years. And

[Bill O'Reilly]

the difference is that you have an American president ordering military action. So there is a subtle difference. But you know what's a real indicator here? Where's John Kerry? He's Biden's top negotiator with Iran, who failed dismally to get anything out of those people. He got nothing out of them. They got billions of unfrozen funds. We got zero. The world got zero. Where's Kerry? Okay, he's hiding someplace on Nantucket, I guess. It was a disaster Am I wrong?

[Jonathan Saya]

That was indeed a disastrous deal because Tehran got everything and we effectively, as you pointed out, got nothing out of it. We got no concessions. They kept their nuclear program. They went beyond that and they were actually enriching uranium in undeclared sites. That's the first weapon for weapon. That's the first step for weaponization. And in return, they got sanctions relief for it. And of course, they funded October 7th. And that's really key. So if you look at every angle, it was a disastrous deal. And of course, this administration sought to get a better deal. But with this regime in Tehran, it is really challenging because they just want to play our diplomats, they want to play the political game here in Washington. So really actually providing them with opportunities, them rejecting it, further legitimize this ongoing military campaign because we exhausted all diplomatic options.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Yeah, but they don't have any power now. They don't have anything. So it's just a matter of how much destruction they want to absorb. They being whatever council has left, theocratic council over there, and there are guys left that, you know, can make a phone call or whatever, but they're not, they don't have anything at all. They're just helpless right now. Or am I wrong?

[Jonathan Saya]

You're correct. They do not have a functioning air force. They do have two lines of deterrence. One of them is the ballistic missiles that, of course, we've done a great job trying to intercept them. Israelis also accompanying us, trying to neutralize the missile threat, also going after the launchers, taking out the silos. Of course, we've been really proactive, taking out that number one layer of deterrence. Now, what comes after that is also funds of terrorism. Tehran has been tapping into its proxies both in the region and of course, in the West. We know they have an extensive network in Europe, not as much in America, but again, it's a real threat. So this is not to say these threats are not real, but is more so about saying how this administration has been able to effectively counter them. This was the, really the only US President that was able to meaningfully take the battlefield into Iran. Something that has no one has ever done to.

[Isaac Shore]

Actually, that's true.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Nobody else wanted this thing. Even after 9, 11, they didn't want it. And so Trump has stepped up the outcome. Of course, the press is demanding, well, you know, you should know already. I don't know. Do you know, do you have any clue about how that thing's going to settle out in the next few weeks?

[Jonathan Saya]

We have a broad understanding. So we do know Iran's anti regime movement is inherently anti Islamist. If you look at university protesters, you look at young people, which Iran is a young population, they're chanting not only against Islamism, but also against leftist values. They see this, the Islamo Marxist alliance, as something that has destroyed their country in the past 50 years. So if that's any indication, we know for a fact whatever comes after this regime is not only going to be secular, is also going to be an ally of the United States. Comes down to how the opposition is going to lead that. And the Crown Prince, really son of the Shah, has, has done an excellent job trying to mobilize the masses against this brutal regime. So all that's really left is, as the President noted, for the Iranian population to wait until the bombing campaign is over and then they can go reclaim the country that has been really taken away from them by Islamists in the past half a century.

[Bill O'Reilly]

But I don't think it's gonna be that easy because you have Revolutionary Guards still there, heavily armed. They're gonna gun them down. And that brings me to my last question. When you see the Pope and you see the UN and you see Kamala Harris and you see all of this stuff, there were tens of thousands of people. I guess there's no legitimate stat that I can cite, but these are the reports that were murdered in the last month protesting against the mullahs. What kind of information do you have about how many protesters went down?

[Jonathan Saya]

So the numbers we're hearing right now that have been confirmed by a few independent organizations are truly horrifying. In the tens of thousands, about 40,000 people. And unfortunately that makes sense given that it's a population of 90 million. They have 10 cities, over a million people, and the Capital has about 15 million people. And you're talking about a brutal regime that actually imported non Iranian proxies, terror networks from Iraq or Afghanistan just to open fire on the masses. But that is exactly why the average Iranian now see this as a revolutionary movement. To them there is no way out, but through which is of course really reinforced by US and Israel military campaign that has decapitated the leadership. As you pointed out, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is a main concern. And the US strikes against them, against their leadership, has fundamentally weakened them. And that is exactly why it is very important for us to ensure that we're going to get defections out of these armed forces. And once really they see that there's no way out, but through, we're going to increasingly see them defect, disobey orders and join the people's movement or as the President noted, face certain death.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Yeah, I mean, you got a whole of people kill 40,000 individuals accountable and that again goes into the bailiwick of the people that are protesting all this military action. Very good interview, Mr. Sayeh. We really appreciate your time and expertise. We hope you come back.

You're listening to the no Spa News Weekend Edition.

Over to Epstein now. The the only reason I'm doing this story, I explained this yesterday, is that it's such a farce now and it's so obvious why the Democratic Party is pushing this so hard. The Americans need to know what the con is. They need to know that this is a grift, what is taking place here and it hurts the country. So as you know, the Clintons, Bill and Hillary were forced to testify from the House Oversight Committee last week. And here's what I said about it last night on News Nation. Let's face it, the US Economy is under stress, national debt rising, trade war shaking the markets and meanwhile China is dumping the dollar and stockpiling gold.

Hillary Clinton never should have been called and that makes a far set of our federal government to call the woman whether you like or not, she was Secretary of State first lady. Put her in a position, try to embarrass her over nothing. I'm appalled that that happened, but to call in people to try to embarrass them. And it's fairly clear that President Trump did not have anything to do with Epstein after their falling out. Even Bill Clinton said that in his sworn statements. Why are we doing this? Why are we doing this? This is a pure smear Trump action and it harms the country. So on Sunday, there was a column in the New York Post. I want to quote it, a little bit of it for you is written by Isaac Shore. And he said, opportunists of all political stripes are using any and every tool at their disposal to make hay out of them with no regard for the victims and their misdirection or the truth. Representatives Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna become media darlings for their work on the Transparency act. But their conduct has actually been unbefitting decent men, much less congressmen. The pair claimed to have discovered six men likely incriminated in Epstein's nefarious activities in unredacted files. And Connor went so far as to name them on the House floor. Quickly turned out that four had no connection at all to Epstein, unquote. So this is a witch hunt. This is the French Revolution. This is the guillotine. This is destroying people without evidence. One thing you should know is that President Obama signed an executive order saying that if information would be harmful to the public or individuals, it could be classified by the president and the heads of the departments. Now, that executive order is still in play despite this Transparency Act. And that's why these, some of the documents in the so called Epstein files weren't put forward, because Attorney General Bondi. All right, classified them at the direction, I'm sure, of President Trump. And joining us now from Rochester, New York is Isaac Shore. He's a senior editor at Media I. So I has a tide turning against this witch hunt, the Epstein thing, do you think?

[Isaac Shore]

I mean, I would like to think so, Bill, but somehow I doubt it. I mean, as long as it is viewed as a weapon against Donald Trump specifically, you're going to see it remain in the news. Very much so. And I mean, look no further. You just referenced it. Last week there was this whole controversy over these missing documents in the Epstein files. And it does appear that the Trump administration either deleted or never published them at all. You can, as you said, there might be some legal reason for that. You might question the strategic aim of that, because what happened is it blew up. And you have all these media outlets so excitedly parroting this allegation against the president and Saying it's credible when it was really anything but. So I have my doubts that it's going to calm down anytime soon, even though it should.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Well, it's pretty shameful that the media is calling for unredacted files that are fantasy. For the pages that you were referring to is some woman who says that she was assaulted by Trump and Epstein. She doesn't know what state she was assaulted in. She doesn't know how she got to that state because she lives in the south, says, well, I either got there by plane or car. You don't know how you got there. And then the woman herself was arrested on a variety of criminal charges. Right. And you want to put out her statement, her accusations. That's defamation per se and insane, is it not?

[Isaac Shore]

I mean, it absolutely is. I mean, and there's more where that came from. I mean, there's not even like, as far as we know, Trump and Epstein hadn't even begun their friendship by this time, where this woman is claiming that, you know, Epstein delivered her to Trump to be assaulted. We have no proof that they were even friends at that time. We have no proof that Epstein ever was on Hilton Head island where she said she begun her relationship with Epstein, I believe in the 1980s. So there's so much to pick apart about that. But what's amazing is all these outlets have taken the fact that there were these missing files and they started calling the accusation credible without including any of this information.

[Bill O'Reilly]

And they never explained the classified nature of almost every government agency that has stuff that is unverified they're not going to release to the public. And that's the moral thing to do. You don't destroy people, all right, with unfounded allegations. I mean, that's what I fear in this country, and I've seen this now over a 10 year period is due process doesn't matter anymore. The press has destroyed due process. In America, you're not innocent until proven guilty. You're guilty if the press wants to put you in a headline.

[Isaac Shore]

I mean, that's absolutely true. And I mean, Trump has been one of the main targets of theirs. But I mean, there's been others. You know, there have been anti Israel obsessives who've used, you know, Epstein's relationship with Ehud Barak, who was formerly the Prime Minister of Israel, actually a political rival of Benjamin Netanyahu. But, you know, they've been insisting, because they were friends, that Epstein was actually a Mossad agent. You already talked about Massey and Kana, who are just using the speech and debate clause on the House floor to smear people. But their meeting darlings is they post Trump. The irony is, I mean, there's just so many examples.

[Bill O'Reilly]

The left condemns Joseph McCarthy in the 50s for labeling everybody a communist without any evidence, but, oh, that was horrible. But now we can do it. Last question. When you see a poll at CNN just put out and most of the people in the polls say, no, we don't want the Iranian government overthrown, there's only one explanation in my mind and that's stupidity. For that kind of an opinion. Is there? Am I missing something?

[Isaac Shore]

You know, I, I agree. I think there are principled reasons to oppose the administration's actions. I personally support them. But I can understand, you know, principle reasons. We're concerned about the domino effect. We don't know. But to say that you don't want this regime to fall, I mean, I think, you know, stupidity is one way to describe it. I mean, I also think there, there are a lot of people, unfortunately in this country who share kind of this anti American instinct and who are kind of prone to make heroes out of some of the worst regimes on earth, some of the worst people on earth because they oppose America. I mean, I think we've seen plenty of that over the last few years. Ever since October 7th, there's people out in the streets on Ivy League campuses. Their disdain for Israel is oftentimes just a laundered anti Americanism.

[Bill O'Reilly]

I think there's a strain of anti Semitism in that poll, but not a lot. I just think it's ignorance. So, Isaac, thanks very much. We appreciate the good work you're doing and I hope we can talk again soon.

This is the no Spin News Weekend edition.

So you'll remember that 62 people have been arrested and charged. They've been convicted. 62 convicted, mostly Somalis. Okay. For stealing $9 billion in federal money.

[Jonathan Saya]

Ryan Reynolds here from Mint Mobile. I don't know if you knew this, but anyone can get the same Premium Wireless for $15 a month plan that I've been enjoying. It's not just for celebrities.

Switch upfront payment of $45 for three month plan equivalent to $15 per month required. Intro rate first three months only, then full price plan options available, taxes and fees extra. See full [e-mail] the New York Post has been delivering impactful headlines for over two centuries. And every weekday morning, I'll bring them straight to you. I'm Caitlin Becker, host of the New York Post. Cast from Washington to Wall Street. If it matters to you, you'll hear it here. And it wouldn't be the Post without the stories other outlets like to ignore. So ask your smart speaker to play the NYPostcast. Listen and subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Well, how the hell could that happen? Nine billion is a lot of money. So the committee called the governor of Minnesota, Tim Walsh, and the Attorney General, Keith Ellison, to testify. Joining us now from Washington is Congressman Pat Fallon from Texas, who is a member of the Oversight Committee. So what's the headline, Congressman, that you heard today?

[Pat Fallon]

Well, Bill, they weren't, you know, they didn't want to take responsibility and they wanted to deflect, as I suspected they would. And the Democrats on the Oversight Committee just wanted to talk about Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump. They didn't want to talk about the issue at hand, which is there were largely in the Somali community, billions of dollars that were stolen from the American taxpayer. And I want to give you an example with specificity, Bill, for your listeners and viewers. There was something called the Early Intensive Development and Behavioral Intervention. It was for kids with autism. And Medicaid billed out in 2018, $671,000 in Minnesota. Six years later, they bailed out 342,000,500X. Now, you can't tell me that suddenly there was an explosion of autism in the state of Minnesota. Clearly, it was fraudulent. And these are the kinds of examples where 300 million here, 200 million here, Bill. Suddenly you've got billions.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Okay, so it's federal money that is involved, which is why you're involved. And the feds made the case. Walz had to know that there were problems in Minneapolis with the Somalis defrauding the federal government. Would that be a fair statement? He had to know that.

[Pat Fallon]

He had to know that. And in fact, we don't have to just go based on assertions or speculation. We have, Bill, when we do an investigation in the Oversight Committee, we're lucky if we get one or two whistleblowers because it's difficult for them. They face punishment and ostracizing, all that. There are 30 people that work in Minnesota, in his administration that have been working with us on the Oversight Committee. That is an astonishing number. That's how bad it was. Everybody knew what was going on. And the Walsh administration looked the other way because they wanted those 30 or 40,000 block Somali votes.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Okay, so it was politics. Now, Governor Walz, did he admit any kind of incompetence here? I know he didn't admit any wrongdoing, but how about saying, gee, I wish I had done a better job? Did he do that?

[Pat Fallon]

No, he said he was, you know, he was educated, he wasn't being straight and simply saying, this happened on my watch, I'm gonna take responsibility, I wanna fix it. This is exceptionally bad. This is epic fraud. It's historic. And instead he was trying to just obfuscate. And that's just not gonna, it's not gonna pass the smell test here.

[Bill O'Reilly]

What was his main excuse for not taking action to stop this or alerting the FBI was going on?

[Pat Fallon]

Well, he said that they did prosecute some folks. And as you mentioned, there were 98 people that have been charged thus far and 85 of them happen to have been of Somali descent. And there's been 62 convictions. So he's pointing to that and saying, see, we've convicted some people, but it's like, governor, this shouldn't have happened in the first place. This is after the fact. And the only reason why you were really taking this seriously is because of the whistleblowers and because of journalists like Nick Shirley that exposed it. So they're not sad it happened, Bill, they're just sad they got caught.

[Bill O'Reilly]

And the Attorney General, Ellison, did he have the same thing going? Well, we were on it because in order to accumulate a $9 billion, that takes a while. That's not just two months. That's years and years and years of stealing money from the federal government.

[Pat Fallon]

They've got Ellison on tape conspiring with these folks. Because at the end of the day, this is one of the things I told Waltz. I said, well, there's one of two possibilities here. This is either you are in on it or you're too stupid to catch it. There's just no other. It's epic incompetence or it's historic stupidity. And which one is it, Governor? And then he says, habita, habita, habita. He talks like Charlie Brown's teacher. He doesn't complete his sentences, he doesn't conjugate his verbs because he was caught red handed and he has no excuse. And Bill, incidentally, I did ask him. You announced that you were running for reelection in September because of your. All the success you've had. And then three and a half months later you're out. Why? And then he said, well, I talked to my family, blah, blah, blah, it was because you got caught and you were going to lose the general election. That's how bad this is.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Is Ellison just a flunky?

[Pat Fallon]

Ellison, he is smug. He's arrogant. He knows where he, what he. He represents the state of Minnesota. They have a perpetual Democratic majority, and he's. He just really doesn't care.

[Bill O'Reilly]

All right, your peers on the committee, you said it was all about, are they blaming Trump for the Somali theft in Minnesota? Is that what they're trying to do now?

[Pat Fallon]

The Democrats didn't talk about the Somali theft in Minnesota. They talked about Donald Trump pardoning. They always deny, deny, counter, accuse, deflect. When we talk about the issue at hand, they say we shouldn't be talking about this issue because it's really not a big deal. We should be talking about their agenda. And the fact of the matter is, in 2024, as you know, the American people said, no, we don't want your woke agenda. We want you to actually govern like adults. So that's why we're still in charge.

[Bill O'Reilly]

All right. So no Democrats stepped up to ask any tough questions in the hearing today? No, no, no, not at all. Okay. All right, Congressman, thank you very much. We appreciate it, and we hope we can talk again soon.

You're listening to the no Spa News Weekend Edition.

Anyway, 2020 election.

[Isaac Shore]

Sorry.

[Bill O'Reilly]

So you'll remember that the charges against Donald Trump, 13 criminal charges, Fulton County. That's Atlanta. Fani Willis, the D.A. still a D.A. fani. Still a D.A. that was all thrown out in November. Okay. After Trump won the election. And Fannie was disqualified from even investigating the case because she was fooling around with her boyfriend or doing something untoward. Anyway, newly released memoir say that this wasn't even just in Georgia. The Biden administration was behind it. So we want to know all about that. Let's bring in John Solomon, one of the best journalists in the country. He's the CEO of Just the News, which has done its due diligence, as it always does, and reviewed the documents. So, Solomon, there are four key revelations, according to you. Let's run them down. What's the association? Biden and Fonny.

[John Solomon]

Yeah, it's pretty striking. First, let's remind everybody what it took to get these documents. We had to sue. We had to play three years of litigation to get these documents. And for a while, Fani Willis claimed these are all protected by legal privilege. And then she just suddenly capitulated and turned over the documents to us last week. And so this is the way our government often works. They keep their secrets from us, even when the law says we're entitled to have them. But we won. And there are four really key revelations. The first and most important is that Fani Willis was working directly with the Justice Department, the Biden Justice Department, to coordinate how that she would go about creating a second level of jeopardy, a second level of cost, a second level of persecution and prosecution for Donald Trump and 18 of his cohorts. Jack Smith was already planning to indict most of these folks on almost similar charges at the federal level. Fani Willis job was to get them and have a second case at the state level that would drain resources, drain attention, drain bandwidth, and drain their reputations. And so the Justice Department's all in on that.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Let me stop you now. So this was during the campaign?

[John Solomon]

Yes, it was.

[Bill O'Reilly]

The indictments come out, Trump versus Harris

[John Solomon]

the first week of August, and Fondi does it two weeks later.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Right. So during the campaign, Merrick Garland, the Attorney General, Jack Smith, the independent prosecutor, both working for Joe Biden. Okay. Assisted Fani Willis in trying to get indictments that would influence the election.

[John Solomon]

That's right.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Correct.

[John Solomon]

That's correct. Yeah.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Okay. That's pretty big. Second one is $18 million in federal funding. What's that?

[John Solomon]

Yeah. So in the middle of this effort to get Fannie Willis position to bring the state charges to go along with Jack Smith's federal charges, double the narrative. The Justice Department literally invites Bonnie Willis to apply for a grant, which is supposed to be competitively bid, but the Justice Department actually says, don't worry about the competition. We're going to turn this into sole source. You're guaranteed to get the money. Just send us a request, we'll send you a check. This is something that James Comer at the House Oversight Committee chairman has been very concerned about. Same thing with Jim Jordan. They believe that the Justice Department was underwriting his state prosecution. And in this memo, which Fani Willis herself writes to the Justice Department, it basically goes like this. Let me get this straight. You're offering me a grant, you're telling me it's sole source, and all I have to do is apply for it? So she kind of echoes back in a CYA memo what's going on, and we're very lucky.

[Bill O'Reilly]

And that's $18 million. That's a lot of junk.

[John Solomon]

It is. It's a lot of junk. Of change. Yeah, it is. And so there is a. That's the second one. The third revelation has to do with the Biden White House in the middle of this. Fani Willis secures an agreement from Joe Biden's White House counsel to waive President Trump's executive privilege, the privilege that every president is supposed to enjoy, that they can get advice from advisors without intrusion. Now, it was already waived at the federal level, but it's very rare in American history for executive privilege to be waived in a state matter. In fact, I can't find an instance where it was waived in a state. State matter previously. So this is a real consequence for future presidents. Future presidents are going to have to deal with what Joe Biden did here, which is basically, any state wants your privilege, we'll waive it as well. That's the third big revelation here. And then the fourth big revelation is that the Democrats on Capitol Hill are the other complicities. You got the Biden White House, the Biden Justice Department, and the congressional Democrats on the J6 committee, and they're sending evidence, even before their investigation's over, through the Justice Department, directly to Fani Willis to give her the most resources, the best opposition research, anything she could have to make sure that they.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Is that illegal for a federal committee or whatever these, these J6 committee, is it illegal for them to send what they've learned to a state for a state prosecution?

[John Solomon]

No, they can refer anywhere. I mean, Congress has broad latitude. I think the legal issue for everybody in this, this is what the prosecutor in Miami, who now has inherited this weaponization conspiracy case, as they call it, is looking at, which is when you have four people working together who all overtly hated Trump. Remember, Fani Willis specifically ran on the notion she was going to go get Trump. If their goal was to deprive President Trump of his ability to win the election, if their goal was to, or the consequence of their actions was to deprive him or his followers of certain civil liberties, then in fact, those actions, which are otherwise legal, could be viewed as an overt act in a criminal conspiracy. So we do know from our reporting that these matters, these documents that we just got, that we just made public, have been referred to the Justice Department by members of Congress. They're looking at it, and it is likely to become part of the evaluation of that Miami prosecutor. Is this another example of a conspiracy where the desire to get Trump trampled on civil liberties, civil rights in due

[Bill O'Reilly]

process, well, it's election interference, in my opinion. That's what it is. They're trying to alter the election, the vote, okay? By assisting a woman who's obviously irresponsible, the whole case is thrown out, and she was disbarred from adjudicating, but she still the attorney general. That's the kicker. On it. Thank you, John. We appreciate it. Let us know if anything else comes in. Just the news. Check that out.
