John Solomon
Good evening, America, and welcome to the Thursday edition of JUST THE news. No noise. I'm your host John Solomon reporting to you as always from the nation's capital where there are a few smiles and a feeling of feeling a bit safer today. Why? Because the January 6th bomber is finally in custody. I'm going to get that a second first quick programming note. You're going to see down in your right hand box a little bit, the national Christmas tree lighting ceremony is going on here in Washington, D.C. at the Ellipse. When President Trump comes to speak. We are going to go turn over to there. But until then, we have a big treat for you because the man who made all the difference at the FBI, the man who has turned that FBI back to crime, fighting tens of thousands of violent criminals off the street, reform the bad guys, the political guys out of the bureau now, crime fighters at the forefront. He's here to describe how the FBI caught the gender six byte bomber today. He is FBI Director Cash Patel. We're going to turn right to him at the top of the show. Director, great to have you here.
Cash Patel
Thanks so much for having me here in Studio in D.C. it is exciting.
Donald Trump
To have you here.
John Solomon
We're grateful for you stopping by. This is an extraordinary story. You make a leadership, leadership change on the team. There's already a leadership change at the top of the bureau and all of a sudden, the same evidence, fresh eyes. You get your man in a short period of time.
Cash Patel
Remarkable. Well, thanks so much. It's not really us. It's the leadership change across the entire bureau that was demanded by the American public when they elected President Trump. And he gave us the authority and resources to change the leadership at Hoover, to change the leadership of the field and to put a thousand agents into the field instead of in Washington, D.C. fighting crime in the streets. And when you do that and you have great leaders like we do at our Washington field office now, this is what happens when you take the handcuffs off police and put the handcuffs on the bad guys.
John Solomon
No doubt.
Liz Truss
Walk us through what happened. Because as I read it, it's just good old fashioned police work.
Cash Patel
That point can't be stressed enough. It is straight up hardcore great law enforcement work. We didn't come up with new evidence. We didn't get a tip. This case is five years old. We simply. And Deputy Director Bongino spearheaded this effort, went back and said, this is an individual who tried to bomb the United States Capitol. Rnc, dnc, innocent civilians and elected legislatures. The epicenter. Epicenter of our constitutional government. It's on video. Why can't we find this man? It's either sheer incompetence or negligence by the prior administration. And either way, it's unacceptable for this FBI. So what do we do? You guys are the experts. We're bringing you in. Go back and look at everything. They reviewed 3 million lines of evidence. 3 million. And it's not like there's a computer that you can just pump this into and say up, here we go. Here's the result. This is hundreds of men and women, thousands of man hours going line by line, looking at the cell phone data triangulation, looking at the call center dumps. That's critical to any investigation like this, where you're trying to locate someone who's hiding his looks and his appearances. And that was key in our investigation. And when we developed those leads, we issued search warrants and that's what extends the investigation.
John Solomon
Yeah, you get his car plate coming into the city right around the time it is, you get his phone going around and then you get these incredible receipts where he's buying bomb making materials all the way back to 19, a lot in the summer of 2020, even afterwards. What does that tell us about Brian Cole? What do we know about him at this moment?
Cash Patel
Well, I don't want to stylize about the defendant because now he's in the court process and he has constitutional rights and we're going to honor those. But we are going to deliver as we do best transparency as possible. And the affidavit does say that he bought pipes and caps and bomb making material and wires. And so that's a pretty good piece of information to have. The other things you need to develop are, is there a cell phone ping in the area that puts him with the phone in the location? What else can we do? Can we tone out and talk to people in the community and family? All those things are ongoing. And by tomorrow, I think by the end of day tomorrow, you're going to have a pretty powerful presentation in court by the United States Attorney. Look, this process is just not possible without DOJ and the great partners in Attorney General Bondi and Todd Blanche. And U.S. attorney Jeanine Pirro and her prosecutors were so aggressive on this case, and rightfully so, because the public demanded accountability for someone who tried to blow up Americans.
John Solomon
Amazing.
Liz Truss
Now, when your agents were building a profile on who the perp likely was, does he fit the mold? Does he fit the profile?
Cash Patel
You know, we have an entire behavioral analysis unit at the FBI that gets to work on these types of things. And what we want to ensure is, is there a bigger network? Are there other targets? Were there other targets? Are there other unsolved crimes? Now that we have the suspect in custody, those folks can go to work on that. That stuff just takes time to develop out. The first thing we want to do is take the guy off the street and make sure he doesn't do this again. And more importantly, also hold people, him accountable to the innocent Americans he was threatening. So you'll hear information about his behavior, about his background. Remember, the guy was only 25 years old at the time. Five years ago. That's not an old person. That's someone who's pretty young. And America has a right to ask questions as to how he got there and why he got to this state. And we're looking to get those answers to the public. But we can't get ahead of DOJ when they're presenting. He's still got to go for his arraignment or presentment tomorrow. Tomorrow, if he hasn't already done so. Yeah.
John Solomon
It's an extraordinary thing. I want to turn to the larger picture of the FBI. You put out with Deputy Director Bongino, who's a big part of this J6 investigation. An extraordinary roadmap of the reforms you've done. You've got a counter drone school that the FBI never had before. We see how dangerous those little inexpensive drones can be. You've got AI coming in to help evaluate Evans's. Quicker and faster than. This is a radically different FBI. I've covered the FBI for 35 years. It's never changed more in an eight month period than I've seen. Now what's been the key to getting the buy in from your rank and file? Because your rake and file are mostly with it. There's always a couple scrabblers here and there, but they seem to all be.
Cash Patel
In on this, well, changing institutional morale that has crept into the Washington D.C. swamp. And the FBI is not easy. And the way you do that is you do not just the mission of defending the homeland and crushing violent crime, but you provide the workforce with a safe environment, a headquarters building. We're moving, saving the taxpayer billions getting out of a falling, decrepit Hoover building. That's what the FBI needs. But you also got to do the non glossy stuff. You got to fix the infrastructure, you've got to take AI in. We are big proponents of AI. The private sector companies have stepped up in big ways and said, we want to partner with you to triage all this data and information, because what good is information if you can't look at it and ingest it? So that's been a big part of the behind the scenes lift. The big part of the forward looking lift is putting a thousand agents out into the field and prioritizing them to go out and do police work with the state and local authorities. That's what happened here. This is an interagency process on the pipe bomb investigation. Capitol Police, Metropolitan Police, atf, FBI, doj. This is what happens when you have the team that President Trump wanted and built and delivered for the American people. And, and when you have results like 25,000 violent felons arrested this year alone, twice as many as last year, and when you have a murder rate that you're going to deliver to the American people, that's the lowest it's been in 25 years by double digits. That's not a one person investigation, one man operation. We are changing the movement and ethos of the FBI. This is not going to be an FBI that's weaponized. We're jettisoning those that did it, holding them accountable. And we're just nine months, ten months into it.
John Solomon
Amazing.
Liz Truss
To that end, the FBI is obviously a storied institution. It's also a very large institution. Do you feel like with respect to this change that there are still some dark corners that you can't see around?
Cash Patel
Look, it's, it takes time to put the change in that the people wanted. Russiagate is a reality. It happened. Arctic Frost is a reality. It happened. The unlawful raid at Mar a Lago is a reality. It happened. That wasn't driven by one person, but multiple people in leadership positions and generations of institutionalization in the swamp thinking that type of ethos in law enforcement is okay. So what we're doing, when I go across the country, Dan, and everybody else goes across the country, our agents are saying, we've been wanting to do this work for decades. This is what we signed up for. So the BRIC agents, as we call them, our intel analysts in the field and our support staff, everywhere we go, they are saying, this is what we signed up for. That's how I know we're providing for them. And then you see the results that we've done in nine and 10 months. And that is a seismic change for such a short period of time. They had it for four years on the pipe bomb. They chose not to apply the resources and investigative techniques they could have. We changed that ethos. And in eight months, we're sitting here today.
John Solomon
Yeah, it's really remarkable. Before we let you go, you've talked about Arctic Frost and all of these extraordinary documents. You're putting out so much evidence every day. We can go through and find a new storyline, and it's remarkable. Where do you think the Arctic Frost story ends up when you're all done with your investigation? Are there people inside the FBI who end up either arrested or charged or punished in some way?
Cash Patel
Well, accountability comes in multiple forms. Transparency through Congress, you guys are tremendous at reporting on that. We've issued 40,000 pages to Congress this year alone. Comey did 3,000 in three years. Ray did 13,000 in seven years. So we are committed to transparency. But what's unique about this FBI is we are running investigations on while providing what we can. So in the Arctic Frost front, we discovered that at this FBI that they were unlawfully surveilling senators and guys like me and weaponizing government. So this pipe bomb investigation should show the American public that we, while providing information on the pipe bomb over the last eight years and protecting the integrity of our investigation gets us to the end point. We want accountability and transparency. It takes a little time to break down the diseased temple that they built here in Washington for decades. But I harp on the fact that this investigation should show the world how we are going to operate in every single investigation. Arctic Frost specifically, we have a huge investigation going that is public. I can say that. And it's going to take a little more time to peel it back. But no, I'm not going to let people get off the hook or get a hall pass. I don't care what position you held in the FBI, you're going to be held accountable in this. DOJ is assuredly backing us.
John Solomon
We know. We'll let you go on because you got to get on the road. Today. Chairman Barry Louder MC praised you for all the evidence and the cooperation you gave Congress. It is a sea change. 40,000 versus 3,000 pages. Just a remarkable got a lot of fans in Congress, Director. Oh please.
Cash Patel
No, nothing's possible without great reporting and journalism that doesn't exist too many places. So you guys have been putting it out here at Real America's Voice better than maybe anybody. So I'm just thank privilege to be in your studio and have you guys reporting actual information.
John Solomon
We're pretty lucky. We're lucky because you're here and you gave us the truth right up front. All right, folks, are going to let the director get here. We take a quick commercial break. We'll be back right after these messages.

Welcome back everybody. The United States and the United Kingdom are inextricably linked. America was born from the British Empire, and because of that, our laws and systems of government are very close to one another. And that is why we both face a lot of the same issues, including in monetary policy and spending and things like protecting free speech. We have seen wokeness encroach on that here in America and even more so unfortunately in the uk. So what can be done about it? Joining us now to discuss that, someone who has always had great ideas when it comes to all this, former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss. Thanks so much for being with us. Great to be here. All right, we just talked about the Blob and how it has grown for centuries and centuries and deepened in the uk. But there are a lot of laws that have to be repealed in order to make that go away. Who can do it? What needs to happen is a parliament needs to be elected where there are 350 MPs who are prepared to walk through fire to vote to get rid of this stuff, because they are going to face the most almighty backlash. Look at the backlash that President Trump faced both in 2016 and now. You know, the way the deep state is fighting and the British deep state is deeper. They're more embedded, they're more entrenched. So it will be complete, unfair, vitriolic warfare. But it has to be done because we've got to save our country. And these people are dragging it down. You know, everything from mass migration to rape gangs, you know, targeting young girls, to the fact that people get arrested for speaking out on the Internet. You know, we saw a comedian arrested at the airport. We've seen a mother jailed for 31 months. You know, you don't get that for child pornography. I mean, it's, it's, it's gone topsy turvy. It's gone crazy about. Some of the bad ideas actually came from the U.S. you know, from Hollywood, from the Democrats, from the Obama administration. They kind of went over the Atlantic, but they kind of, they got even more deeply embedded here because we didn't have the Tea Party movement, the MAGA movement, to resist it and to fight back. And that is what we need in Britain.
John Solomon
Right, well, as of this morning, we have the Liz Truss movement, because today we announced just the news. In fact, it's trend, trending. It's an important story trending in just the news right now that you've launched a new show with us and in concert with us, the Liz Truss Show. This is the beginning of a counter revolution, isn't it?
Liz Truss
This is right. This is going to be the home of the counter revolution. Because another of our big problems is the mainstream media don't want to talk about it.
John Solomon
They don't.
Liz Truss
They lie. I mean, they've lied about President Trump, they've lied about what's going on in the Middle east, and they don't want to tell the truth about how bad things are in Britain. So what the Liz Truss show is going to do is, is it's going to tell the truth and it's going to talk to the people that have been arrested, it's going to talk to the people who are victims of the grooming gangs. We're going to hear from people who are the witnesses to what is going on in Britain. And it's a warning to America about what could happen to you if the revolution doesn't succeed or it's resisted by the many powerful players, vested interests who want the status quo to continue, they want the managed decline to continue and they fundamentally hate the West. I mean, that is the problem we've got in Britain. We have a ruling elite who just don't like their own country.
John Solomon
You're going to hold the looking glass up so we can see what America might look like if we don't stop where we're headed, right?
Liz Truss
That's right. And also we want a bit of hope. You know, we can't just be there on our sinking island. We want a bit of hope. So we want to, we want some encouragement from the MAGA movement. We want to hear how you did it. How did you take on the deep state? How are you? Did you get rid of usaid? How did you defund the media? That was NPR telling lies. Exactly. We want to do that to the BBC. So we need to, we need to talk about the playbook.
Liz, you are no stranger to opprobrium and censure. You had transformative ideas in Parliament. And then of course, as Prime Minister, I have no doubt you're also going to get pushback from this show because you are telling the truth and you are exposing things. Well, absolutely. And I'm going to expose the truth about what happened to me and who was behind it.
John Solomon
That's so important. We don't know the story yet.
Liz Truss
That's going to take a few episodes, isn't it? Well, there are quite a few, but I'll give you a clue. The bank of England is involved.
We've got a big problem with our central banks. We've got a problem with the people who want to increase the debt in our country. We've got a problem with people in politics who pretend they're Conservatives or Republicans but are only Conservative or Republican in name only. And I'm going to expose those people. What do young Brits look like as far as politics? Do they want to take their country back? Well, there are many of them who are deeply frustrated. They can't get on the housing ladder. It's really hard to start a family. The wealth is gone. You know, it's very hard to get a well paying job in Britain. And they are frustrated as hell with the way the establishment has ruined our country, particularly migration. The fact that illegal asylum seekers are committing quite, you know, very frustrated. So they're more likely to want to see a populist nationalist revolution, but some of them are more likely to vote for the British version of Mandami. So what you're seeing amongst young people, you're seeing increased church attendance, you're seeing increased frustration, you're seeing a love of country and a frustration that the older generations have sold out our country. So I think they are hopeful, I think I'm hopeful about Gen Z. We've got to stop them becoming communists.
John Solomon
Yes, that's the key, right. During this moment of frustration, you can't let them flip to the other side as we'll regret it even greater. One of the many things I know you're going to tackle and I can't wait because I've always believed that the Russia collusion story has its origins in Great Britain. I have a funny feeling, I feel.
Liz Truss
We'Re behind a lot of this.
John Solomon
I have a funny feeling you're going to delve into that, aren't you?
Liz Truss
I certainly am. And we're going to be talking to some of the people in Britain who were involved at the time and where this all came from. And one of the things that I saw as a government minister, as the Foreign Secretary was the close collusion between the Foreign Office and the State Department and how that worked. And often it didn't involve elected officials. And I think that is a huge problem for our countries that we've allowed power to be taken into the hands of people that aren't elected, that aren't accountable and they have their own agendas. And that's what I will be looking into on the whole Russia hoax issue.
John Solomon
I love it. I can't wait for that one.
Liz Truss
There are so many warnings from the UK to our country. It seems like we have conversations weekly about things that we see happening in the UK that we fear will come to our shores, whether it's governmental, whether it's in the energy sector, sector, culturally in the uk These rape gangs that you were talking about, this is something that is answer to a culture. Do people in the UK recognize that? They do and people are horrified. Some of the testimonials in the court cases and they've only just been released, you know, the authorities tried to cover up some of the horrific torture that was taking place against young girls, girls age 11, 12, 13, white working class girls being targeted by Pakistani gangs, some in the name of Islam. That is what was going on and it's still going on. And the government, they said they are going to have an inquiry. The inquiry hasn't started. We know that the police were involved, we know they were actively involved, including raping girls. We know that council officials were complicit. It really is a shocking, a shocking story. And people are almost so horrified, they don't want to think about it, they don't want to believe it's happening. And what's happened in Britain is there are some towns that have become segregated. So there are some towns where you see Sharia law, you see women covered up, you see these, these things happening. And people who aren't in, in those areas almost don't really want to conscience what could be happening. And we do see the Islamists targeting America as well. And you can see that in some communities in America. So no one, no one is immune. No one is immune.
John Solomon
You said something profound and I saw, I remember this moment maybe about a year ago when you said, Britain needs a Trump revolution. President Trump retweeted that very quickly. He liked that line. But you say we see some hope in America, then we need to see some of the optimism here that Britain can build on. Two things have happened in the last few weeks. The State Department has declared that mass migration is a existential threat to Western civilization. And then Sarah Rogers, I think the Assistant secretary or undersecretary at the State Department, really took on UK's main censorship. While I thought those were two big moments, US sending a message to our great ally that you're going the wrong way.
Liz Truss
Well, it's fantastic to see what Sarah Rogers has been saying in Britain and really calling out the British government. And Keir Sam was just lied through his teeth. There was a press conference with Trump in the summer. You know, Trump questioned the free speech issue. Keir Samuel said, oh, we protect free speech in Britain. There were people literally languishing in jail. That's right when he was lying about it. And Sarah Rogers has been calling that out. The State Department has been calling that out. But what I want to see from our allies is I want to see real follow through on issues like trade, on issues like security, because how can we have security cooperation if you simply can't trust the integrity of the government? That is, that is how bad it is in Britain now.

Welcome back America. We started our show right away with an interview with the FBI Director Cash Patel. We can get you caught up on some other headlines. We want to do that because the President's getting closer to going down to light up the national Christmas tree here in Washington D.C. we're going to turn to that in a second. I'm going to turn to my amazing co host Amanda Head. Today some news in the Kash Patel interview. I think the first thing that I heard him say is that because this guy was buying bomb making materials over a two year period, they're looking to see if he was involved or planning in any other attacks. I think that was something he has not said in the earlier news conference. The parents and family and other people around this kid going before grand jury tomorrow, they're moving at the speed of light. And then at the end of the interview, I thought a really profound warning to anyone who is involved in Arctic Frost, you ain't getting a pass on my watch. Sounded like they're looking at prosecutions. And he said there's a lot of investigative activity going on right now. We are investigating our own, he said. Pretty big for an eight minute interview. A lot of headlines, I thought.
Liz Truss
Yeah. And you know, that final warning that he gave, you shouldn't get a pass. It doesn't matter if you are law enforcement, you shouldn't get a pass. You shouldn't be able to go to a FISA court or whatever governing body it is and illegally surveil American citizens, lawmakers, whoever it is. But I think that the American people have sadly grown accustomed to corruption within the FBI. I partly blame Hollywood. I don't think it's called the FBI because there have been plenty of movies and series out there that glorify these types of things. But cash is. The director is doing such a great job in rooting that stuff out, and he's methodical.
Okay. All right, everybody. So President Trump coming out at the Ellipse to light the national Christmas tree.
John Solomon
Beautiful event. Here we go. Here we go.
Donald Trump
Well, thank you very much, everybody. It is beautiful. Not too cold, there's no wind. We don't have to wear hats or anything. This is a special time. And Melania and I are thrilled to wish everyone here tonight and Americans all across this land a very, very merry Christmas.
So is everybody ready to light the beautiful Christmas tree? Are you ready?
So the first lady is going to do the honors and we're going to do a countdown. We'll go from five to zero. Okay? Five, four, three, two, one.
Well, thank you very much and thank you, Melania. And it's a beautiful job they did in creating that tree. It's a beauty. And let me also recognize Vice President J.D. vance and Second Lady Usha.
As well as Secretaries Scott Besant, Pete Hegseth, Attorney General Pam Bondi, Secretaries Doug Burgum and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Administrator Kelly Loeffler and their wonderful families are doing a fantastic job. And I see out in the audience the great one, Wayne Gretzky and Janet, thank you very much, Wayne, for being here. He's used to this kind of weather. Let's also express our gratitude to the great people of the National Park Service. They're incredible. The job they've done.
As well as the unbelievable performers here. Tonight you're going to see some incredible performers. And we have in the audience the Beach Boys. They're great.
During this holy season, Christians everywhere rejoice at the miracle in Bethlehem more than 2,000 years ago when the son of God, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, came down from heaven to be with us. You're right. Full of grace and truth, he brought the gift of God's love into the world and the promise of salvation for every person and every nation. And we just settled another war today. You saw that with Rwanda and the Congo. It's been going on for 34 years. Millions of people killed. Could be 20 million. They don't know what the number is. And we just settled it today. That was a big one. We're very happy to announce it on this important day tonight. This beautiful evergreen tree glows bright on the dark and cold winter night and reminds us of the words of Gospel of John. In him was life and that life was the light of all mankind. Beautiful words. With the birth of Jesus, human history turned from night to day. His word and his example call us to love one another, to serve one another and to honor the sacred truth that every child is specially made in the image of God.
For 250 years. Think of it, our country is. 250 years is a big year. I'm so happy that our presidency was delayed. Otherwise I'd be sitting home watching television, not being invited. I would be extremely upset. And remember, we have not only the 250 years, but we have. This is a big one. We have the World cup and we have the Olympics coming up, all within this four year period.
See, if they didn't rig the election, I would have been sitting. Can you imagine? I wouldn't have any of them. And I probably wouldn't have been invited. I would have been very upset by that. But America has stood tall in part because millions of our citizens have heeded that call. And the faith and service of Christians have been essential parts of America's strength from the very, very beginning. Incredible. We love the Christians, we love all religions. And by the way, religion is coming back to the usa. You see that very strongly. So this Christmas season, let me say thank you to everyone who Serves the needy and lifts up the communities inspired by faith. Thank you to the police, law enforcement officers, first responders, ICE and Border Patrol agents who risk their lives every day to defend the innocent, protect the good, and keep the evil in danger at bay. And thank you to the men and women of the United States military, including the brave heroes of our National Guard here in Washington, D.C. where we've set a record for lack of crime in 28 years. So I just want to say we have a great, a great place. And I want to pay my highest respects to those two great guardsmen. You know who I'm talking about. They paid, in one case, the ultimate and the other. Andrew is getting better. Sarah, unfortunately, is watching from high, watching from heaven. Her parents are so incredible. And Andrew is hopefully getting better. He got hit hard defending us. And I just want to pay my respects to them. Two incredible people. Unbelievable people. I spoke with the parents and met the parents today, the parents of Andrew. And they have spirit and they love our country so much, you wouldn't believe. But as a nation, we have much to be grateful for on this holiday season. Our border is secure. Our spirit is restored. Most secure border we've ever had in the history of our country. Seven months and nobody has come in illegally into our country. Nobody. Not one. Our economy is thriving. Inflation has stopped. Our nation is strong, and America is back. Bigger and better. Stronger. Better than ever before. Think of it. And we're making peace all over the world. We're settling wars at levels that nobody's ever seen before. Eight of them. We're looking for one more. That's Russia, Ukraine, if that's possible. And I think we'll get there eventually. Last week, 8,000 soldiers killed. Last month they had 27,000 soldiers needlessly killed. We got to get that stopped. We're working very hard on it. Just over one year ago, our country was in very, very serious trouble.
The king of Saudi Arabia said to me very strongly, sir, one year ago, your country was dead. Now you have the strongest and hottest country anywhere in the world. Can you imagine? We did this in 10 months. What a difference. And it's true. Everybody feels that, and all leaders feel that. So as we prepare to celebrate the miracle of Christmas, we thank God for his many blessings. And together we rejoice at the true source of greatness, happiness and strength. The good news is that glorious nights 2,000 years ago. Think of it, 2,000 years ago, it was indeed a glorious night. So I want to thank everybody here. I want to pay my deepest respect and love to all of our great citizens, like 350 million people. We love them all. Whether you like them or not, we love them all. We want to take care of everybody. We have to take care of everybody in our country. I want to wish everybody a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and have a good time and you're going to see some great entertainment. Thank you very much, everybody. Merry Christmas. Happy Hanukkah. Happy New Year. Thank you, everybody. Thank you.
Sam.

Welcome back everybody. As we head into these colder months, many people see their blood pressure start to climb. Cold weather naturally causes blood vessels to tighten, so that makes it harder for the heart to pump. So that's why this time of year is especially important for routines that support healthy blood pressure. And that's where 120 life comes in. So joining us to discuss is the founder of 120Life, Ira Antelis. Ira, thanks so much for being with us.
Donald Trump
Thank you for having me.
Liz Truss
All right, so I spent Thanksgiving with 90 of my closest family members in Lebanon, Tennessee. And some of them who are let's I'm going to be safe here and say above 50, we're having conversations about blood pressure and concern that, you know, things were creeping up as it gets colder. So this is a real phenomenon. I don't think I realized that until. Until Thanksgiving.
Donald Trump
Yes.
Commercial Announcer
So I think you and even I had no idea that when the weather.
Donald Trump
Is cold, your blood. Your blood vessels constrict. And when they constrict, your blood pressure is going up because the blood is not flowing.
Commercial Announcer
So what you need to do is.
Donald Trump
Really make sure that, number one, you must stay hydrated in cold weather. Number two, you must cover your hands, your feet, your head to counteract this and not ignore it, because it's a real thing. And the opposite is in the summer.
Commercial Announcer
When it's warm, your blood pressure, unless.
Donald Trump
It'S extremely hot, tends to go down because your blood vessels have opened up.
Liz Truss
Crazy. So what does your product do? Because I know we've got some people in our audience. We've gotten feedback from them. When we've had people from your organization on before, what does it actually do?
Donald Trump
So, as some know, and maybe you know, that my life was not in blood pressure. My life has been really in music and the arts. And I developed a strength when I had an extremely high case, a case of high blood pressure.
Commercial Announcer
And I'm like, I really need to lower this.
Donald Trump
And I had been reading about many.
Commercial Announcer
Many things that lowers your blood pressure. The first thing I realized to go.
Donald Trump
Back a little bit, is that if.
Commercial Announcer
You have high blood pressure, well, actually.
Donald Trump
80% of people that have heart disease, strokes, kidney issues, vision issues, have high blood pressure. So if you can reduce your blood pressure, it is reducing the chances that you will get one of those things also. But what I realized is that almost like we were talking about in cold weather, if you have high blood pressure.
Commercial Announcer
Many your blood vessels are constricted and.
Donald Trump
Your heart is working harder.
Commercial Announcer
So what do we do to counteract that?
Donald Trump
And there are like five or six things. I have been reading about beets. So if you drink or eat beets.
Commercial Announcer
Beets have nitric oxide.
Donald Trump
Nitric oxide in our body dilates.
Commercial Announcer
It means it opens up your blood vessels.
Donald Trump
If your blood vessels are open, your.
Commercial Announcer
Blood pressure probably will go down.
Donald Trump
Some of our other ingredients are hibiscus tea, which has been around for centuries, and pomegranate juice. And what they do is, again, they relax your blood vessels. If your blood vessels are relaxed, your.
Commercial Announcer
Blood is flowing better. Maybe a third example of the ingredients.
Donald Trump
We have back to beets, hibiscus and cranberry juice. And they act as what is known as a Diuretic. Many doctors refer to that as a water pill. It helps get rid of excess water in our body. If there's water in our blood vessels again, our heart is working harder. If our heart is working harder, our blood pressure is going up. So all of these things combined can.
Commercial Announcer
Help and it helps many to lower your blood pressure, which is important.
Liz Truss
Yeah. All right, so tell us about your product offerings. Because some people prefer to take pills, some people prefer to drink it in liquid form. Tell us about what you've got.
Donald Trump
So we have two options. We have the juice which we sent to you. It's already pre made, 8 ounce bottles and you drink a bottle a day. About a couple years ago, many of my friends kept saying, well, I want something more convenient. So we developed the powder which has actually some additional ingredients from the juice. And you take a scoop a day, you can mix it in your smoothie as I do. Water, cranberry, any kind of juice you want. And it's one scoop a day. The package lasts about 30 days.
Commercial Announcer
And most important, we're trying to get people healthier. If you try it and it doesn't.
Donald Trump
Help you, we'll just give you your money back, no questions asked. All you have to do is call.
The number on the website and say.
Commercial Announcer
Hey, it did not help me and.
Donald Trump
I just refund the money. We don't do that a lot because it does help a lot of people. But if it's not helping you, you let us know.
Liz Truss
That's amazing. And you know, when you're describing these ingredients, I mean, I think beet juice has been a remedy, as you said, for centuries and even millennia for a lot of folks in the hibiscus tea. But the great thing about this is that as you are rattling off these ingredients, these are things that we should be consuming anyway. It's not harmful chemicals, it's not medicine, it's not drugs. It's not something that was created in the lab. It was something that was created in the earth or on the earth by our creator. It's amazing.
Donald Trump
That's exactly right. When I had reading about, when I.
Commercial Announcer
Read about these ingredients, I kept thinking.
Donald Trump
Wow, I'll just go buy them. I thought somebody had had my idea that they all sort of look similar, they taste similar, if they all load.
Commercial Announcer
Your blood pressure a little bit together.
Donald Trump
Where they lowered a lot. And I was, I used the word astonished that there was nothing on the.
Commercial Announcer
Market like this for people with high blood pressure.
Donald Trump
It was only about medication.
Commercial Announcer
I'm like, well, we have the studies.
Donald Trump
That show all of these things individually lower your blood pressure. The thought was together, would they lower it more? And they do. They do.
Liz Truss
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, we have become so pathologically medicated as a society. I think that a lot of folks, especially, you know, as people supported, you know, President Trump in the last election, people who might not have been focused on health, they were falling in line with the make America healthy again movement. And a lot of the tenets of that movement are, you know, going the natural route instead of just always going to the pill cabinet.
Donald Trump
That's exactly right. I think there has been a movement with the Baja movement now saying, look, there are. There we have, we grew up. I grew up, I'm a lot older.
Commercial Announcer
Than you on, you know, the world.
Donald Trump
Of fast food and junk food and no right. There are many, many better options.
Commercial Announcer
And if you take, especially as we.
Donald Trump
Get older, if you take care, better care of yourself, your, your life is just going to be healthier and better.
Liz Truss
That's right. You invest in it and, and you put quality things like this into it, it's going to pay off. Founder of 120 Life, Iran Telles. Thanks so much for joining us today and to our audience for.

They paid, in one case, the ultimate and the other. Andrew is getting better. Sarah, unfortunately, is watching from a high, watching from heaven. Parents are so incredible, and Andrew is hopefully getting better. He got hit hard defending us. And I just want to pay my respects to them. Two incredible people. Unbelievable people. I spoke with the parents and met the parents today, the parents of Andrew. And they have spirit and they love our country so much, you wouldn't believe. But as a nation, we have much to be grateful for on this holiday season. Our. Our border is secure. Our spirit is restored. Most secure border we've ever had in the history of our country. Seven months and nobody has come in illegally into our country. Nobody. Not one. Our economy is thriving. Inflation has stopped. Our nation is strong, and America is back. Bigger and better. Stronger. Better than ever before. Think of it. And we're making peace all over the world. We're settling wars at levels that nobody's ever seen before. Eight of them, we're looking for one more. That's Russia, Ukraine, if that's possible. And I think we'll get there eventually. Last week, 8,000 soldiers killed. Last month, they had 27,000 soldiers needlessly killed. We got to get that stopped. We're working very hard on it. Just over one year ago, our country was in very, very serious trouble.
The king of Saudi Arabia said to me very strongly, sir, one year ago, your country was dead. Now you have the strongest and hottest country anywhere in the world. Can you imagine? We did this in 10 months. What a difference. And it's true. Everybody feels that. And all leaders feel that. So as we prepare to celebrate the miracle of Christmas, we thank God for his many blessings. And together we rejoice at the true source of greatness, happiness and strength. The good news is that glorious nights 2000 years ago. Think of it. 2000 years ago, it was indeed a glorious night. So I want to thank everybody here. I want to pay my deepest respect and love to all of our great citizens, like 350 million people. We love them all. Whether you like them or not, we love them all. We want to take care of everybody. We have to take care of everybody in our country. I want to wish everybody a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year and have a good time and you're going to see some great entertainment. Thank you very much everybody. Merry Christmas. Happy Hanukkah. Happy New Year. Thank you everybody. Thank.
You. Sam.

Episode Date: December 5, 2025
In this episode of "Just the News No Noise," hosts John Solomon and Amanda Head deliver breaking news, in-depth discussion, and exclusive interviews with prominent guests. The episode is highlighted by an in-studio interview with newly appointed FBI Director Cash Patel, an appearance by former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss discussing her new media venture and comparing UK/US political and social trends, and live coverage of President Trump lighting the national Christmas tree in Washington D.C. The episode centers on law enforcement reforms, political resistance to entrenched bureaucracy ("the Blob" and "deep state"), transatlantic issues of culture and censorship, and a hopeful tone toward political renewal grounded in transparency and tradition.
(Starts at 03:16)
Background: The long-unsolved January 6th DNC/RNC bomber case was cracked under Patel’s leadership, representing a turning point for the FBI.
Institutional Changes: Patel attributes success to a total overhaul in leadership and redeployment of resources from D.C. to field operations, following a mandate from President Trump.
"When you take the handcuffs off police and put the handcuffs on the bad guys, this is what happens." – Cash Patel (04:23)
Old-Fashioned Police Work: No new evidence or tips; rather, a renewed, exhaustive review of 3 million lines of evidence, cell phone triangulation, and purchase receipts led to the suspect.
Suspect Profile:
"We simply... went back and said, this is an individual who tried to bomb the United States Capitol... Why can't we find this man?... They reviewed 3 million lines of evidence." – Cash Patel (04:58)
Interagency Cooperation & Tech:
“The big part of the forward-looking lift is putting a thousand agents out into the field and prioritizing them to go out and do police work with the state and local authorities.” – Cash Patel (09:03)
Addressing "dark corners": De-institutionalizing entrenched bureaucratic mindset.
Transparency: FBI has delivered unprecedented 40,000 pages of records to Congress this year.
"Comey did 3,000 in three years. Ray did 13,000 in seven years. So we are committed to transparency." – Cash Patel (12:05)
Arctic Frost:
"I don't care what position you held in the FBI, you're going to be held accountable in this. DOJ is assuredly backing us." – Cash Patel (13:18)
(Starts at 18:03)
Liz Truss details the depth of bureaucratic "entrenchment" in the UK compared to the US, noting the need for a parliamentary movement willing to face backlash to reverse "managed decline."
Crises Discussed: Mass migration, grooming/rape gangs, censorship.
"Some of the bad ideas actually came from the U.S.—from Hollywood, from the Democrats, from the Obama administration. They kind of went over the Atlantic, but they got even more deeply embedded here because we didn’t have the Tea Party movement, the MAGA movement, to resist it and to fight back." – Liz Truss (19:40)
Media: Announces her new partnership for the Liz Truss Show to offer a "home of the counter revolution" and tell stories mainstream UK media avoids.
Urgency & Hope: Wanting to learn from the US MAGA playbook; promises to expose failures of the UK establishment, including involvement of the Bank of England in her ousting.
"What the Liz Truss show is going to do... is it's going to tell the truth and it's going to talk to the people that have been arrested, it's going to talk to the people who are victims of the grooming gangs... and it's a warning to America about what could happen to you." – Liz Truss (20:37)
Youth Frustration: Gen Z in the UK identify more with nationalist and populist policies, but remain at risk of being swayed by socialist messaging.
Suggests Russian collusion narrative originated in Britain; points to unaccountable collusion between Foreign Office and State Department outside elected oversight.
"Often it didn't involve elected officials... that's what I will be looking into on the whole Russia hoax issue." – Liz Truss (24:14)
(Starts at 35:14 and again at 63:10)
Celebrates Christmas with Melania and dignitaries, highlights restoration of faith, gratitude to law enforcement, military, and "all religions."
Announces peace agreement between Rwanda and Congo: “We just settled another war today... 34 years, millions killed... we just settled it today” (37:39).
Economic Claims: Secure borders, zero illegal entries in 7 months, inflation defeated, nation revived.
"Our border is secure. Our spirit is restored. Most secure border we've ever had in the history of our country. Seven months and nobody has come in illegally into our country. Nobody. Not one." – Donald Trump (39:41)
Religious and Nationalist Theme: Praises “the miracle in Bethlehem,” calls for national unity and mutual care.
(33:21 and 61:17)
Key Takeaways: The FBI is actively exploring if January 6th bomber suspect was part of wider plots; ongoing scrutiny for internal FBI abuses under "Arctic Frost."
Cash Patel’s tone is uncompromising about accountability, especially at senior levels, and emphasizes transparency and swift justice.
"A really profound warning to anyone who is involved in Arctic Frost—you ain't getting a pass on my watch." – John Solomon (34:17)
The episode blends straightforward investigative journalism with pointed commentary, a strong pro-transparency/state-reform attitude, and a sense of optimism rooted in “American values” and the importance of faith and accountability. Liz Truss’s segment adds urgency and camaraderie between UK and US political reformers. The Christmas Tree segment with President Trump is celebratory and rich in religious/nationalist undertones.
