John Solomon
Welcome to the Tuesday edition of JUST THE news. No noise. I'm your host John Solomon reporting to you from the nation's capital, Washington, D.C. in a little bit, we're going to throw to some live coverage, a major TPUSA event tonight. We'll be getting to that, but first we're going to take on a very significant story. There's two fallouts from stories that we've been tracking the last days. One, those extraordinarily new and shocking, I think for most people, documents released by TNI Tulsi Gabbard, they clearly show that the fix was in on impeachment, that the president wasn't given derogatory information about his accusers, always required to get it, exculpatory information for him. Lots of reaction, including today the president actually reacted to something that happened on this show last night. Remember when Alan Dershowitz said, hey, I think the president can go back and vacate his impeachment? Well, today the president put out a truth social saying, yeah, Alan Dershowitz, go do it. He actually reacted to that very scene on our show last night. A lot of other interesting developments, including the FBI acknowledging it has an ongoing review of what happened. And tomorrow we'll have a new story revealing that the intelligence community's new inspector general, not the guy that withheld that information back in 2019, but the new guy, a guy named Fox, he has begun a review of all whistleblower complaints that were handled by his predecessor. Two are going to be very important. This Ukraine one and the one that we told you about a couple of weeks ago involving China, interference in our elections in 2020, possible hacking into voter registration databases. Both of those are going to be included in that review. We're going to cover that tomorrow morning when you wake up. Check out justinews.com Amanda, one other thing that's pretty clear and I want to bring you in before we get to our first guest, Johnson. It's only been two days of the naval blockade of oil shipments. China is crying uncle. They sent their ambassador to meet with the president. I think that's going on as we speak right now. And two, Iran has a crisis that a lot of people aren't talking about. Its Capacity, storage capacity is almost filled in two or less, two or three less weeks. According to U.S. oil and Gas Association, China will have no more storage. That means their wells are going to start to build up with pressure. They're going to be damaged greatly. That's why Iran, I think, is asking for some new talks and even put on the table today, according to the New York Times, at least five years of not pursuing a nuclear problem, a nuclear weapons program, I think that probably goes up a little bit more.
- [05:48]
Amanda (Co-host or Guest)
Yeah. You know, I think that China has felt the squeeze and that's why you had Ambassador Perdue meeting with President Trump, our ambassador to China. China sees all of these moving pieces. And I think that, I think that the, you know, what was scared out of them after Venezuela, and they thought to themselves, okay, we need to, you know, keep a hand on all of these boiling pots. And President Trump has an uncanny way of having these outside of the box approaches of making people come to the table. And I said it last week, you know, it's part of the reason why his book was so successful, the Art of the Deal, because he has these ways of doing that. But going back to what you were talking about, with respect, with respect to your incredible reporting yesterday, when I had the honor, as always, to talk to the president, this is not something that he has let go of because he knew he was in the right in 2019 when this impeachment was going on. And, and when I asked him if he, if he felt like this was some sort of vindication, I mean, I could tell that this was something that he wants to make sure all of it is revealed. And I know DNI Gabbard and you as well, you guys want to make sure it's all out there. So I'm looking forward to further reporting on it.
- [06:51]
John Solomon
Yeah, it's going to be fun. And listen, it's a footnote for history if they do vacate the impeachment. It corrects the record historically. But really what it does is it begins a process to make sure no future president ever goes through bogus investigations like what we saw in the last decade. Now, someone else that's committed to making sure that doesn't happen again, he's been responsible for exposing more than anyone I could think of in the United States Senate. Senator Ron Johnson, the chairman of the very powerful Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigation. Sir, good to have you back on the show.
- [07:22]
Senator Ron Johnson
Oh, John. Hello, Amanda. Thanks for having me on.
- [07:26]
John Solomon
We love having you on back in 2020. I remember when they were throw in terms like Conspiracy theorists out about you and me and Ukraine. We now know that Joe Biden and Hunter Biden had that grift, the very one you documented in your report. But now we have a pretty good sense that the president wasn't given a fair impeachment proceeding or trial because some of the most derogatory information about his accuser was hidden from us. I know nothing shocks you anymore, but what do you make of the fact that intelligence community managed to keep that secret for six and a half years?
- [07:57]
Senator Ron Johnson
Well, I think the most shocking revelation out of the documents that you obtained. By the way, congratulations and great reporting. I believe it is already reported that Eric Chermela, I mean, the whistleblower was working with Adam Schiff. This was completely coordinated with the chairman of the Intelligence Committee in the House. And that's always what I've assumed. I think that was reported at the time. But now we have absolutely proof that is what happened. And the intelligence community Inspector general knew it, and they hid it and they kept it from the President Trump's defense team. So, again, we just keep finding more and more evidence of just how grossly corrupt the Biden administration was. The Democrats were, the media was. I mean, the corruption collusion hoax that the Washington Post won a Pulitzer Prize for, they haven't exactly given that one back, have they? Even though it's been proven to be a hoax. Now you've got the impeachment story just being blown up for the hoax, for the totally coordinated hit job by Adam Schiff, who has probably got to be the biggest liar. And that's saying something in terms of Democrats, one of the biggest liars in public office today. How many times he tells, oh, he had conclusive proof of Trump colluding with Russia. He had no such thing. And so they had to get Trump on that, didn't take down Trump, so they had to get Trump on something else. And so they used this thin read of a phone call with Zelensky, and now we know that was all cooked, totally prearranged, totally coordinated with the House Intelligence Committee. It's highly corrupt.
- [09:45]
Amanda (Co-host or Guest)
Well, and, sir, were it not for intrepid, indefatigable, savage for the truth journalists like John Solomon and also Dni Tulsi Gabbard, we would have never known this. And so that begs the question, you know, if anyone decides to pull this again, if something like the Save America act doesn't get passed, elections can be screwed from here on out. And then if this happens in the future, who knows if we would ever find the results we're only learning this because Donald Trump is in office and he has Dni Gabbard at the Post.
- [10:16]
Senator Ron Johnson
No, I mean that's my concern. I know what the Democrat game plan is. It is turn is to turn America into one party nation. That's why they flooded America with millions of illegal immigrants, had no idea who they were, push them into sanctuary cities and states to plus up their numbers, the census, their members of Congress, if they ever get the, you know, the run the board, have the presidency, the House of Senate, they will end the filibuster, they will turn D.C. and Puerto Rico into states. That's probably four new Democrat senators. They will pack the Supreme Court. That's their game plan. And of course any kind of election controls, any kind of election integrity measures. That's existential to their game plan of becoming a one party nation. But again, if Democrats take control, Katie, bar the door. I mean we already know their destructive policies. We already know the fecklessness of Obama and Biden, how they coddled the Iranian regime saying oh, we can never let Iran have a nuclear weapon than they do deals that would have assured, literally the Obama nuclear weapon deal would have allowed Iran to honor the deal and become a nuclear power in 2032. I mean how stupid as they funneled pallets of cash and hundreds of billions of dollars into the economy. The military, the proxies, the Hezbollahs, the Hamas, the Houthis of the largest state sponsor of terror. That's what Democrats did, open up our border, 40 year high inflation, war on fossil fuel. I mean now transgender, I mean all of these crazy social ideologies that are pushing on America, that's what Democrats represent today. We need to stop them.
- [11:59]
John Solomon
Yeah, so I want to go back to the two little details in the impeachment new documents that we got because I think they really get to the fine processing of how the Democrats pulled off Russia collusion, Ukraine, January 6th. We can go on and on. Classified documents, the whistleblower objects to the intelligence community saying don't pass on my biases. I don't want people to know that I have these biases. He also was caught lying. He originally says I didn't. He hid the fact that he had talked with Adam Schiff's staff in his whistleblower complaint. Then he has to come back apologize, saying, sorry I embarrassed you by misleading you on that. The idea that the whistleblower, if we can call him that in air quotes, really just a complainant, an accuser had that level of sophistication and say don't pass on my biases. And oh, by the way, I misled you. I almost got away with it. How concerning is that about him and the people around him and the fact that the inspector general didn't feel that Congress needed to know that?
- [12:59]
Senator Ron Johnson
Well, let me go one further. I mean, think back to that point in time during the impeachment trial. We couldn't even name him, even though we knew his name.
- [13:06]
John Solomon
That's right.
- [13:07]
Senator Ron Johnson
We knew who he was. We couldn't name him because Democrats did such a good job with their allies in the media saying, this guy's life is in danger. If people know who blew the whistle on Trump, if they understood the connection, the coordination between Anna and Schiff, this guy's life is in danger. So we couldn't even name his name. I mean, a lot of us would have loved to, but again, we didn't want to be accused of putting somebody's, a D.C. staffer's life in danger. You know, some of you serve this nation faithfully. So that's the level of coordination that that is. How cynical, how craven the Democrats are. It's like, how do we cover this up? Hey, I know, let's make sure that they never even say this guy's name, that they can't really dig into him because if his identity is revealed, he's gonna die. You know, some right wing nut's gonna kill him. That's how they got away with it. I mean, that was their masterstroke right there. Making it just poison to name this guy's name so he could be investigated. People couldn't ask him these questions. He couldn't be questioned, you know, by Trump's defense. That's how they pulled this off.
- [14:17]
John Solomon
Unbelievable.
- [14:17]
Amanda (Co-host or Guest)
Absolutely, sir. Inspector generals are supposed to be neutral. They are appointed to that position and they are supposed to operate. And they have, for the most part, I think, operated within a system of neutrality. This was not one of those cases.
- [14:31]
Senator Ron Johnson
Cases.
- [14:31]
Amanda (Co-host or Guest)
I don't know if this inspector general is going to be investigated, but does there need to be an amendment to the system? Because it apparently didn't work this time. This one fell through the cracks.
- [14:44]
Senator Ron Johnson
You know, the solution here is we have to reduce the size, scope and cost of government. A one word definition of government is power. And as Lord Acton properly noted, power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. So you've got government, it's power. It's going to be corrupt. And we see it time and time again. And the people who populate these agencies, by and large, like government. They like power. They like control and so they corrupt the process. And so as a conservative, I mean, we don't want big government, we want our freedom. And so a true conservative wants nothing to do with the government. So they don't serve, they certainly don't serving the bureaucracy. And so we are overwhelmed by leftist deep state actors who, when you have a Republican president like President Trump who's going to disrupt the system, they do everything possible to sabotage his efforts, including two impeachment trials, including the fake Russian collusion hoax, and they get aided and abetted by the deep state actors in the FBI and Department of justice in these inspector generals. So no, I don't agree with you that inspector generals are nonpartisan. I think there's many, many instances where inspector generals are highly partisan. As chairman of Homeland Security, we basically ran two of them out of office for corruption ahead of the posse.
- [16:08]
John Solomon
That's right, you did. I forgot about that. That's right. So I want to turn to something you were looking at in the spring and summer of 2020 as you were doing the great work that laid the foundation for, for reversing the Joe Biden had nothing to do wrong in Ukraine. We now know none of that was true. But you were working to look at the possibility that U.S. intelligence officials may have had a contact with the Ukraine embassy to try to meddle or get dirt on some of the figures in Russia collusion. Before Russia collusion was officially started with Crossfire Hurricane, you had a witness who then gets deported out of the country just before you're about to interview him. I think a guy named Andrei Telushenko, Ukrainian embassy worker, had been trusted by the US Government for years. Are you going back and looking to see if this was part of that ruse, whether the sending that gentleman out of the country and thwarting your investigation was coordinated by the same people that hid the impeachment evidence and quite frankly, maybe the Russia collusion stuff too.
- [17:04]
Senator Ron Johnson
Yeah, we're trying to, you know what's unfortunate about that is he has a, he had a NDA non disclosure agreement with Blue Star strategy, which was basically a Democrat lobbying organization closely tied to the Clintons, closely tied to the Bidens that represented Hunter Biden. And so he wanted to spill the beans, but he needed a friendly subpoena. So we arranged that. And then that friendly subpoena that was sabotaged within my committee. We literally had an the Democrats didn't want us doing this investigation. So they continued to ask us to check with the FBI to check the CIA whether Andrei Talishenko was Trustworthy. We could rely on his customers testimony, literally. The Democrats doctored a transcript of one of those briefings by the FBI. They doctored it and they presented that to my committee in a skiff. When the day I was trying to explain why we need this subpoena. It's a friendly subpoena. Totally blew up my ability to get the subpoena. So we didn't get the documents. Then again, that was completely orchestrated, completely corrupt. And here's where we are today. So, no, I would love to interview Andrei Talishenko. I don't know to what extent he thinks his life's in danger. Speaking about people's lives in danger. You're in Ukraine, you're in the middle of a war. I don't know. Those documents are lost to history or not. Yeah.
- [18:26]
Amanda (Co-host or Guest)
Does testifying on the Congressional record allow a witness to breach an NDA and avoid civil penalty?
- [18:34]
Senator Ron Johnson
Yeah, if they provide that under a subpoena. Absolutely. That, you know, we can breach those NDA agreements. And he was willing to do it, but he needed that subpoena. He couldn't do it voluntarily. He needed the subpoena. It was a friendly subpoena, but because Democrats on the committee, their staff doctored a transcript, made it sound like he was a threat. When we had multiple briefings that we have nothing derogatory on Andrei Talishenko, you can interview him. It's not. We don't believe it's a Russian plant. They doctor the transcript to make it sound like we were being warned off him.
- [19:07]
John Solomon
Yeah. It's just amazing you've told that story. And it's shocking because the government deports this guy and we don't know. There's never been a reason why they did it. And as you said, the reasons you got warded off of them were doctored. Right. They were fake. They made up fake information to scare you away from the guy. Will you get, you think, an answer from this Trump administration? The Treasury Department, which does sanctions, the FBI, which gave you the fake briefing. Are you intent on getting those answers and do you think you can get them from this administration?
- [19:37]
Senator Ron Johnson
I would like to, but, you know, John, aren't you a little disappointed it's taken us this long to just get the documents that you received? Again, I'm not being critical because I know the deep state actors. I know the lawfare has prevented the Trump administration from staff. They don't have enough staff. The Department of Justice, FBI, they've had to redact 3 million pages of the Epstein files. Okay, again, that's Part of the game plan of the Democrats. Force the release of the Epstein files that they didn't ask during the Biden administration. Inundate the Department of Justice with that investigation so they can't search for these other documents that are probably, if not destroyed, very well hidden. It's not like they're coming to cash tel and going, hey, by the way, you want those documents, they're in a burn bag in that skiff that you don't even know about, which is how we got some of those documents in a burn bag.
- [20:25]
John Solomon
Unbelievable, sir. The persistence that you've had, the commitment to the truth that you've had, whether it's the vaccine safety that you brought to our attention, Hunter Biden's grift, the Russia collusion stuff, we would not know nearly a tenth of what we know today weren't for your tenaciousness. We're forever grateful for that. And I know we're going to get some more truth soon. I have a funny feeling the President has a solution he's about to unveil. When it comes to how they're going to speed up the declassification of documents, that could be good news for all of us. But I want to thank you personally for all the work you did. You took a lot of guff, but you got us a lot of truth.
- [20:59]
Senator Ron Johnson
Well, stay tuned on the injection and the COVID up of the safety surveillance systems that the FBI knew about. Stay tuned on that. We're getting some good information and we need to do interviews to conclude this. But it should be a bombshell. Probably covered it by the media. But stay tuned. I know you'll cover it.
- [21:18]
John Solomon
We will definitely cover it. And we're grateful every time you come on. Sir. Thanks for joining us.
- [21:23]
Senator Ron Johnson
Take care.
- [21:24]
John Solomon
Yeah. What a great conversation. What a great impatriot. I mean, he just works so hard and he just, you know, he just focuses on the facts. That's all we need. People just want the facts. All right, it's time now to turn to the Turning Point tour where Vice President J.D. vance is set to speak in a little bit. We're gonna take you over there now to our great colleagues.
