[John Solomon]

Good evening America and welcome to the thank God it's Friday edition of Just the News. No noise. I'm your host John Solomon reporting to you solo here in the nation's capital. Yet my co host Amanda Head. She'll be back next week. We've been missing her the last two weeks, but we're going to keep you really well covered today. And by the way, it was a big and historic news day. Three big things that I want to make sure we get to today. First, you probably already heard, but I want to get to the importance of it and also give you a thought that you might not be thinking. The United States Supreme Court voted 6 to 3 today to overrule President Trump's first attempt at imposing tariffs, saying they were not authorized by law. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the majority opinion. There were some pretty good dissents from some of the conservative justice like Alito and Thomas, but the judge, Justice Roberts, Chief Justice Roberts wrote that the president could not impose tariffs when Congress did not explicitly give him that authority in the law that he used. And everybody said, well, it was a major loss for Donald Trump. And it is. And President Trump was pretty upset today. He said some tart things about the Supreme Court. But he also said there are other avenues to go. And that is the point I want to make tonight. I've been doing reporting on this all day. Numerous legal experts, people who won cases before the Supreme Court, all telling me that why John Roberts closed the front door that Donald Trump used first to impose his tariffs. He opened up a giant back window. He gave a roadmap to the administration, to the president, as did the dissenting justices, people like Alito and Chief Justice Clarence, or excuse me, Justice Clarence Thomas, that all the president needed to do was find a law where there was explicit authority giving the president and meet the conditions of that law and come back. And I think today is a door closed, window open moment on tariffs. It is not the end of this debate. And by the way, the president made that clear right away. You know why? He immediately imposed 10% new tariffs and said, I got other roads to go and I'm going to drive down them. So we have all that. You probably saw some of that right here on Real America's Voice. We covered all of it live today, including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant's remarkable conversation down in Dallas. A really great and very informative conversation today. All right, second story I want to get to. It's one we broke here at Just the News with the help of the CIA. Today, the CIA director, John Ratcliffe did something historic, never been done before in the history of the CIA spy agency, retracted in part or in whole 19 intelligence reports dating all the way back to the Obama era on grounds that they suffered from severe political Bias or bad spy tradecraft? I just want to say that again. Political bias or bad tradecraft. How bad was the tradecraft in some of these reports? Well, instead of citing intelligence resources or fellow governments or foreign powers or intercepts or confidential human sources, the CIA reports were quoting people like the Atlantic magazine, a far left magazine, or left leaning think tanks. That's not intelligence, that's political information. And today John, John Radcliffe and his team made it clear all 19 of these reports failed to meet the standards of the CIA. All 19 were retracted in part or in whole and will never be able to be used in the form they were originally written by any future spy, any future intelligence agency anywhere in the country. That is some big news. The whole story, including one of those intelligence reports. You can actually put it in your hands and read it. I'm going to tell it to you because you remember when the FBI told you Catholics who preferred Latin Mass were dangerous. Remember that? They were investigated for a while. So that was highlighted. Then school board, parents, parents who went to school boards, they were potential domestic terrorists. Remember that? Well, today we learned for the first time that the CIA secretly warned an intelligence product in 2021 that women who prefer the path of a traditional motherhood that is just becoming a mom and staying at home risk the possibility of becoming extremists. Not making it up. You can read it yourself. Go check it out. The CIA even had to laugh about how silly that intelligence report was. They didn't laugh, only they retracted it. Go check it all out atjust the news.com One last big piece of news. I told you yesterday we would have this. Yes, we've confirmed that the federal prosecutors in Florida who are investigating the weaponization of government as a criminal conspiracy did secretly ask the United States Senate to send all of its evidence about John Brennan to it. We got that [e-mail] and finally, one last one President Trump made clear today. Military action is definitely on the table for Iran. He said he could do an unlimited attack very soon to soften up Iran, make it more amenable to doing a long term deal. But you would wait and see. But all that awesome. You can check out atjust the news.com and of course you probably saw some. But here on this great network, Rav. All right, our first guest, I had a chance to talk to you just a little bit ago. He's the chief law enforcement officer inside the great state of California. He's the attorney General Allen Wilson. He's been doing some major election integrity things in his State fighting back, not letting the left dictate the rules of elections anymore. We had a great conversation about that and so much more, including the tariffs. Have a watch what we talked about. Hi folks. Excited to have my first guest of the night. He's the attorney general for the great state of South Carolina and the leading Republican candidate for governor of that great state. And he is our good friend, Attorney General Alan Wilson. Sir, good to have you back on the show.

[Attorney General Alan Wilson]

It's great to be with you, John. Thank you for having me back.

[John Solomon]

We love it. We love a lot of the things I'd say. I'm amazed how many times I turned to Justin News and South Carolina is in the news for national reasons because you're on the cutting edge of exercising states rights and fixing things that often the federal government has failed to do. You've done a lot of work on election integrity. You're talking about it openly. You're winning the messaging war and the legal war. Tell us a little bit about your latest ideas for making sure we make it easy to vote and hard to cheat.

[Attorney General Alan Wilson]

Well, John, I've been defending election integrity in South Carolina now for over 14, almost 15 years. I was the first attorney general, first state in the country to successfully defend our voter ID law back in 2012. This is something we took to the D.C. district Court and we won there when it was challenged, of course. Last week I filed a motion to dismiss a lawsuit brought by an organization that was trying to allow ballot harvesting in South Carolina. We put we have a state law that prohibits ballot harvesting and we're filing a motion to dismiss a lawsuit that's challenging the our election integrity laws here in South Carolina. And of course, I joined a lawsuit or I joined an amicus brief rather, to support the Republican National Committee's attempts to prevent Mississippi from allowing ballots to come in five days after an election. This is something that I think could be very detrimental. And this is the same position I took on the 2020 election when the state of Pennsylvania was allowing electors to bring in ballots several days after the election was over, waiving the requirement of a postmark and waiving the requirement that the elector actually signed the ballot. These types of attempts to weaken our election integrity laws undermine voter confidence in the very system that we rely on in conducting our rep. So this is something I'm very proud to have supported. And we're going to continue to defend election integrity here in South Carolina and all over the United States.

[John Solomon]

It's so important. And there seems to me there are three cases, two at The Supreme Court one headed to the Supreme Court. That could be the defining new era of election integrity. You mentioned Mississippi. You have to count your ballots by election night because we only have an election day, not an election trimester. Then Louisiana, which could bring us no more racially gerrymandered districts. And then Missouri has filed a lawsuit saying that the census can't count illegal aliens to decide apportionment representation across federal fund distribution. All three of those are headed to the Supreme Court. Two or there one's on its way there. If those go the way an originalist Supreme Court likely is to rule, we're going to have a different looking election system going forward, right?

[Attorney General Alan Wilson]

Absolutely. And again, we're not asking for radical things that are designed to discriminate against voters. I mean, we here in South Carolina, we give incredible amounts of accommodations to voters for early voting for, you know, to accommodate people with disabilities. We go out of our way to make sure that people have an opportunity to get their vote registered and logged during the election season. But the election season has to end. And it seems that people on the left want to continue that election season so they can count ballots days and not even verified ballots, but potentially fraudulent ballots days after the election is over. Allowing illegal aliens to vote, these should not be radical or crazy concepts. This should be very normal for people to understand. And so I believe this could change the makeup of future elections if the Supreme Court rules the way I believe that they will.

[John Solomon]

Yeah. And these very common sense idea, going right down to voter ID and citizenship, 80, 85% popular. There's very few things in America that have that of popularity. Do you think from afar with the all the great examples that South Carolina has proven that you can have good election integrity laws and still have high voter turnout, that there's a pass though, to convince the Senate to get past a filibuster and get this passed in time for 2026 election. Meaning the Save America Act.

[Attorney General Alan Wilson]

Look, election integrity laws don't deter people from coming out to the polls. Voter lethargy does. You know, people who are disengaged from a system that they think might be corrupt might prevent them from coming to the polls. But ENS ensuring the security of an election does not deter people from coming to the ballot. People who say that have an agenda, these are people who want to promote ballot harvesting. These are people who want to undermine voter integrity laws so that they can exploit elections for their own political agenda. We want to protect the legitimacy of elections. The only way to do that is to have common Sense laws that ensure only registered legal citizens have a right to vote and to make sure that their votes are actually the votes that the citizen cast and not something that was harvested by some unscrupulous ballot harvester in another community.

[John Solomon]

Yeah. So very, very important. Hand in hand with good elections and election integrity and the ability to vote, comes free speech, the very first of the Bill of Rights. You are on a daily basis fighting to make sure that the mindset of big tech companies, which has been overwhelmingly in the evidence that's in the public domain today, aimed at censoring conservative speech. Not all speech, but just conservative speech. You are policing, watching, pushing back, using your legal authority to do it. Do you feel like the debate has turned a corner? That maybe the big tech companies are beginning to feel a little ashamed about what they did?

[Attorney General Alan Wilson]

I don't know if they're feeling shame. I certainly hope that they are. But they certainly understand that when Donald Trump came in, in this unprecedented election, this, this unprecedented comeback that he did, they certainly got the message. Whether it was sincere and was based on guilt or whether it's based on self preservation and survival, it doesn't. They are now starting to understand that the American electorate was sick and tired of what they were being force fed in the previous years under Joe Biden.

[John Solomon]

Yeah, no doubt about it. You have been firm in your support of President Trump and his policies. You've helped win some of the big cases in the courts that are litigated from a state's perspective. Today, the Supreme Court knocked down his tariffs. And I think, you know, you look at the initial reporting, it looks like this is a big loss for Donald Trump. But the ruling said you got to have explicit authority. There are four or five other statutes the president could potentially impose tariffs on. If they close the front door, did they maybe open a back window with today's ruling?

[Attorney General Alan Wilson]

There's one thing I've learned about Donald Trump is that whenever you think you've knocked him down, that's when he does something that kind of takes. That takes. It's like jiu jitsu. He uses the weight of whatever has been thrown against him to his advantage and ends up getting a win down the road. So I wouldn't count him out on this one.

[John Solomon]

Yeah, I think you're right. He's already announced he's going to take another path already today. He didn't waste but a few minutes to get a new pathway to his plan. Before we let you go, there are a lot of big issues between the federal government and the states. They're getting better on a lot of those things. What do you think is one of the most important things that will be worked out between the federal government and states rights over the next few months? It seems like there's a lot of unique things, whether it's the census and that counting illegal aliens anymore, but there is a much more friendly federal government towards state rights. Do you see some important legal precedent about to be said?

[Attorney General Alan Wilson]

Well, I mean, I'm seeing a lot more cooperation among federal and local law enforcement when it comes to immigration enforcement, at least in states like South Carolina. Maybe not so much in Minnesota, but, you know, you're seeing a lot more cooperative working relationships between the state and federal governments in the law enforcement arena. That is an area that I care deeply about. So that's something that I'm expecting to only get better in the weeks and months to come.

[John Solomon]

Yeah. And it should be pointed out you've done an enormous amount of work on your own and also in concert with federal law enforcement to combat human trafficking, which once used to be a big scourge in South Carolina, but you've had an extraordinary success here. What lessons do other states take? Can they take from what the work you've done there?

[Attorney General Alan Wilson]

Well, look, I mean, I'm incredibly proud of the men and women in the Attorney General's office. Here in South Carolina, we've been able to create a gold standard for combating human trafficking in this country country. Here in South Carolina, we have had unprecedented success in combating against Internet crimes against children, especially child exploitation. We've revamped our laws to go after people who are using artificial intelligence to try to circumvent child exploitation laws. I give all the credit to the men and women that I work with in law enforcement. That's the reason nearly 80% of all the elected Republican sheriffs in South Carolina have endorsed me, is because the work we've been able to get done to give law enforcement and prosecutors the tools they need to protect families here in South Carolina. And I think if other states would take a look at what we're doing here in South Carolina, they would take a page from this book, is to get behind law enforcement and protect the families in your states.

[John Solomon]

Yeah, there's no doubt you have a long record of it. And when I talk to some of the other attorneys generals in the country, they often cite the work you're doing and say, we got to do that in our state, so we know it's effective. Attorney General Allen Wilson. I know a lot of people are expected to be calling you governor next year. Great to have you on the show today. Thanks for joining us. Great to be with you.

Welcome back, America. We're gonna take a little turn towards the great state of Ohio where affordability is up. Yep, that's right. Affordability is doing much better as is the great state of Ohio always. It's such a great, well round state. Joining us, one of its great congressmen, Mike. Really, Congressman, great to have you back on the show.

[Congressman Mike Carey]

Great to be back, John. Thank you.

[John Solomon]

I love the work you do in helping Americans understand the last years. I think everybody implicitly realizes when they get to the dinner table, things are a little bit better. The gas bill bill was a little less. The food bills a little less. Prescription drugs a lot less. But you've been tracking this, I think real wages. I think you showed a nearly 1400 dollars improvement, way outpacing inflation. That's a pretty impressive record for the first year of a presidency.

[Congressman Mike Carey]

You're spot on. And it's just going to keep getting better. You know, I've been, you know, we, we had an in district week this week, so I think I've had over 23 stops. And what we're noticing, some of the people that were doing the early tax returns, they notice that their tax return is anywhere between like some of the lower ones are 10 to 15% above last year. I've had a couple of my constituents tell me that they're 40, 50% over last year's returns. That's what we want. We want you to keep the money that you earned all year round. You know, no one spends your money better than you. Especially the worst culprit is the federal government. You know, they really are not your friend as far as spending your money. We want to keep that in your pocket and we want to make sure that the products that you're buying every day stay cheap, whether it's eggs, whether it's natural gas or gasoline for your fuel tank or whether it's milk and bread and butter. We want to make sure you keep as much of that money as humanly possible.

[John Solomon]

Yeah, so important. Also keeping and attracting jobs, which has been a big part of the Trump administration's first year in office. The tariffs, one of those incentive programs that moved Foreign nations towards the United States, investments towards here, Even the playing field. Today, the Supreme Court shut down President Trump's ability to impose his tariffs, but only under one law. It seemed to me like the Chief justice and the dissenting justices were putting a big roadmap out there, saying, if you just find a law that does let you oppose tariffs, we're going to be okay with it. How do you look at today's ruling? Was it a closed door with an open window?

[Congressman Mike Carey]

You know, I was disappointed at it. You know, I'm not going to lie. You know, when I, I was on the road, when I heard the news, and I wasn't thrilled because I think the tariffs are actually working. I do think that when you get into the nitty gritty, the Supreme Court did leave the door open. I think they said to the President, not this path. Give us a better path that we would like to put this through. I think the public that are anti terrorists need to understand something. 80% of the world has tariffs on American products going to them. And for like the last 50 years, all the presidents, Democrats and Republicans alike, they said, don't worry about it. We'll just pay whatever you want. But those days are over. We need a level playing field. You hear the Democrats say that all the time. No one above the law. Let's have everyone equal. Well, why would you want to support foreign countries? Why would you want to celebrate taking Joe Bag of Donuts jobs away and sending them to Mexico or China or Indonesia or Africa? Why would you want to do that when you could keep these jobs right here? And the way we have to do it is with tariffs. You know, we are the standard for the American worker. Not only that, the world worker. We want to make sure that you have a very safe work environment to the highest standard. And we want you to have pride in your work like it used to be in the 1950s, where a hard day's work and you were proud of the product that you produced. You know, it was always Germany in the United States produced the best product, whether it was a vacuum cleaner, whether it was a car, whether it was clothing, whatever type of industry you could imagine. We were always known for our quality. So let's get back to that. And that's what tariffs helped.

[John Solomon]

Yeah, they definitely did. And the trillions of dollars of investment they attracted inbound already in the first year are legacy of them. It seems to me that the President's already back on route number two to get this done. There are other laws where Congress did transfer the authority for tariffs. And it seems like he'll go that route. Is there a will in Congress? Do you think there's enough votes between Republicans in the House and Senate to back up some of these tariffs for the President so that the progress continues unabated and the courts have less doubt about what Congress's intention is?

[Congressman Mike Carey]

I think the majority of our caucus, I would say 90 to 95% of our caucus is right there with you. You know, we only really have a two vote majority, you know, and you know, Congressman Massie, you know, we never know where he's going to fall. But then you only have one other vote. So we have to really, I think with terrorists, I don't think you have to worry about the right side of our conference as you do the moderates. You know, some of those New York Republicans might be a little bit nervous on supporting the president with tariffs. We're going to have to really put our pencils down on the paper and work hard. You know what else I'm thinking too? Some of these moderate districts that we think we could take away from the Democrats, I think some of those Democrats out there, you better realize something. If you're gonna protect the blue collar worker, you better get on board with these tariffs. Cuz that's all it does, it supports blue collar jobs, period.

[John Solomon]

Yeah, no doubt about it. And that's a constituency that the Democratic party keeps walking further and further away from. Republicans really reaching out to working class families in ways that really has changed the political dynamic in America in a big way. I want to turn to one of the stories broke here at Just the News this morning. The CIA director John Radcliffe, one of your former colleagues in the Congress, retracting in part or whole 19 intelligence reports going all the way back to the Obama era because they were politically biased. They were citing woke sources, not intelligence, not actionable intelligence. And they didn't meet the analytic tradecraft requirements for an analytical product. One of those reports just the news obtained was allowed to make public because it was declassified. It was a report that basically suggested that women who choose a life of a traditional motherhood, not going into the workforce there, but working at home with their children, might somehow pose an extremist threat in the future. The idea that these got retracted en masse seems like a pretty big rebuke to the woke era of the CIA.

[Congressman Mike Carey]

You know, John, I think this is such a moment and I am so glad that he did this because I want your listeners and your viewers to think back in their own mind's eye. You know, I'm a devout. I'm a third degree Knights of Columbus. I'm a practicing Catholic. And we all remember the Obama administration targeting Catholics. They called us radical Catholics. They put FBI, FBI agents in our parking lots of Mass. I mean, you know, being a proud Catholic, we're the Church of Peter, actually the number one disciple built our church in the US Government. Think about what I'm saying to you. They were monitoring us as terrorists. And you only have to go back another couple of years and look at what they did to all my good friends. I love going to Tea Party rallies. I remember. You know, if you would leave a Tea Party rally, it would be the cleanest scene you've ever could imagine. We left those, those campgrounds better than we found them. And what did they do? What did they do? They did Big Brother, Orwellian crap. And they spied on us. Whether you were a Tea Party, whether you were a Catholic, this is what the oppos, they are evil. As far as surveillance goes, you know what it leads to? It leads to Prime Minister Trudeau. When you have truck drivers and farmers that bring their equipment into the Capitol to peacefully protest and they seize your bank records. That's what Orwellian government looks like when you rely on the government from cradle to grave like the Democrats do. And we're going to call them out for it because this is what they want. They want to replace God with government. They want to spy on you for everything unless you act right. And if you're going to target mothers. Are you serious? You're going to say that mothers that want to stay home and have a beautiful family, that they're a terrorist? I think not. Bravo for this Correction. This is a moment in time that we should all take note and put an exclamation point on it.

[John Solomon]

Yeah, I think that was part of it. I have a funny feeling more of these are coming down the pike. I think the Director Radcliffe is not done, nor is Dni Tulsi. Gavin, I think more explosive revelations ahead. Before we let you go, we have a short attention span in politics, particularly in Washington, but not the Trump administration when it comes to East Palestine, Ohio and that incredible train wreck, the one that Joe Biden didn't want to respond to, but Republicans did another $10 million in economic development going yesterday. What does that mean to the people of Ohio, to the victims still trying to get their lives back and their livelihoods back in that community, a resilient community, by the way. It was a pretty big moment yesterday.

[Congressman Mike Carey]

Well, it's the very first time I ever met the president, I was a state senator, and he came to the site and it was just electric. And for some reason, the Biden administration, they would not even want to take a look at it. It took J.D. vance to come there and put the stick in the creek and show all the poisonous that was in our waterways. The Biden administration just ran from them. I don't know if he thinks that we're deplorables or what. I'm about 10 to 15 miles outside of ground zero. So for me, it was very, very personal. And this $10 million that came yesterday came out of left field. Nobody in the town really expected it. And the president was so gracious. He says he knows we're on the path of recovery. You know, when you go to East Palestine now, it all depends on who you talk to. I would say 70% are really looking forward to just having a normal life again. You know, we have the health stations and we're monitoring everyone health and making sure that if any cancers pop up, you know, a lot of us were at ground zero without protection, including myself. So there is always a little bit of a fear of that. But I think this is just a showing of the president and his entire administration that you're not forgotten. The president's going to stay with us the entire time. This $10 million are gonna go for infrastructure within that city to make it even better than it was before. Because Americans, we don't quit. We build back better than we ever have been. And this is what makes America great.

[John Solomon]

Yeah. So very, very important, so momentous and got a lot of buzz, I know, throughout Ohio in the last few days. And you were there right at it. People need to be reminded you never abandoned the people. You were right there at ground zero when it happened. Congressman, great to have you on the show as always. Always enjoy your insights.

[Congressman Mike Carey]

Hey, real quick, did you notice that on the way over, I heard that the mayor of San Francisco says he's going to start arresting drug addicts on the streets? Maybe we're penetrating the opposition. Maybe they realize that everybody wants a safe life. So keep praying for the country.

[John Solomon]

Common sense returning to San Francisco. Now, that's a headline. That's a big one. Congress, a great. David, thanks for that. What a great piece. We're going to take you to, sir. Thank you so much. All right, folks, coming up next, as we've been discussing the Supreme Court strikes down Trump stairs. What? Well, we'll take a look at what's next for the Trump administration. A Whole lot more with John Gardner right after these messages. Welcome back, America. So much of the debate about tariffs have all of these acronyms and weird sounding Washington names, but at the end of the day, President Trump's tariff policies are about affecting the working class in America, restoring our manufacturing base, restoring our economic supremacy, and restoring the American dream. That gets lost a lot of time when we get into the technicalities of a Supreme Court ruling or a debate. My next guest has never lost sight of that. He's the author of a fantastic book called Manufacture Local. He is John Gardner. John, great to have you back on the show.

[John Gardner]

Thanks for having me here, John.

[John Solomon]

Yeah.

[Public Investing Sponsor]

All right.

[John Solomon]

So I think when the initial ruling came out, people said, oh, big loss for Donald Trump. And it is. But I think also when you read the ruling and you read the dissenting opinions, there seems to be a roadmap, which is the Supreme Court said, just not this law. But if you do find a law that gives presidential authority for terrorists, by all means, come back to us. Is this one of those door open or door shut, window open opportunities, potentially, for the administration?

[John Gardner]

I believe so. I mean, President Trump's announced he's gonna go keep going. He's gonna raise him even more. He has a whole plethora of tools that are all legal already in action. You know, section 301, 232 investigations. You know, the list goes on and on. They are a little more complex. The reason why the emergency IIPA gave him such maneuverability is because he can move quickly. And that's why Congress really gave the President these emergency tariff powers, is because Congress moves slow. There's even jokes about it. Take an act of Congress, you know. And so as, as trade has affected national security so much, you know, the president needs to move fast in trade deals. I mean, he, he's negotiating trade deals. And so I think that these will take a little bit more time. One of the limitations on some of them is that they only last for 150 days. I think the next thing will be explore shut them down for a day and then restart them the next day, which I, I thought was quite humorous. But really what we need to do is codify these in Congress. And that's why the midterm elections are so important. We need President Trump's legacy and his love for rebuilding the middle class and for protecting America and creating external revenue. We need that codified in Congress. And so I encourage President Trump as he gets on the campaign trail. We already voted for tariffs. We knew he was a tariff Man, Right. We knew that was his platform. So American people have spoken. And I think as he gets people to go to the polls and vote for his people that he knows will help install this and codify in Congress. And so I think we have a lot of tools to battle this erroneous decision by the Supreme Court, which I find, you know, really like deciding for foreign nationals and foreign businesses and, and not for the American citizen is how I kind of view it.

[John Solomon]

Yeah, yeah. Well, there's going to be, there's going to be another crack at that legal apple. I have a funny feeling that in the not so distant future, I want to turn to reality because I think at the end of the day, since the tariffs went into effect, prices have gone down in most parts of the economy. Gas is down as a result of Trump policies. Dinner table items like eggs are down. Prescription drugs are way down. Investment opportunities are way up. The trade deficit is starting to tilt towards America's favor a little bit, which we haven't seen in a while. Is the reality at the dinner table better than what many times we see in the Legacy Media's reporting, 100%.

[John Gardner]

And there's so much more hope. I've been in manufacturing industry for 21 years. I own a small shop. And this is very personal for me because I, I grew up as the nation deindustrialized. I grew up in my hometown in Ohio. You know, I saw manufacturing leave. And then when I left in the late 90s, my little hometown became the opiate trafficking crossroads of America. And all my relatives were in Pittsburgh. And I watched as Pittsburgh fell. From 1980 to 1983, 150,000 steel mill jobs were lost. From 1983 to 1985, another 100,000 supporting manufacturing jobs were lost. From 1985 to 1990, I believe 60% of the population of Pittsburgh left. And I lived that. And I saw that, that how that hollowed out the community. I saw the loss of hope. And President Trump is using tariffs to bring that hope back. And in the manufacturing industry right now, there is so much activity. My sales grew 20% last year. And we just opened up a new aluminum smelter and refinery. It was announced in January this year. Why that's such a big deal is between 2020 and 2024, when the tariffs weren't in place and when tariffs weren't driving manufacturing Here, we had four aluminum smelters refineries close, and we lost 40% of America's refining capacity for the, for aluminum in four years. I mean, that's Catastrophic. If you want to wage war, if you want to have national security. Which makes the Supreme Court's argument even more absurd that you know, national security is an emergency thing and the ability to protect national security with tariffs and keep our industry safe is a national security thing. But personally for me, the tariffs have created a boom and I see things happening in the manufacturing industry from behind the scenes that are very, very exciting and prove that they are the right path for us.

[John Solomon]

Yeah, it does seem like there is a lot of dynamism and that a manufacturing renaissance is right at hand. What do you predict happens over the next several months? Does the President try to get a deal with Congress? Does he just try to impose through other means and keep the momentum going and not lose? I guess one of the dangers is like the European Union already says, oh well, now that he doesn't have authority, why should we have made that deal? Some of these countries might try to get out of the hard fought deals that they agreed to. What do you think is the likely experience over the next few months?

[John Gardner]

I think as Goldman Sachs has predicted that the tariffs are going to stay in place. They're probably going to rise, which is in line with history. Like President Trump has actually been, been quite moderate with his tariffs. The average tariff rate from 1824 to 1934 was 40 to 50% for 110 years. And that's what we built our industry behind. So these 15, 20% tariffs are pretty light. And so I think that if these countries don't maintain their trade deals that they agree to, I think President Trump's going to find some other ways to get them to go along. And I don't know how much time we have left John, but you know,

[John Solomon]

there, there's, there's a, got a good mini. Yeah, go ahead. Yeah. Oh please.

[John Gardner]

You know, so I, you know, I collect art from the manufacturing industry right here. And this is called Meet this Man of Steel. It's from Republic Steel and this is from the World War II era. And you can see how beautiful the artwork is. But what it says is what is most meaningful to me. It says perhaps you know him, he works for Republic Steel. He's typical of 52,000 other men of steel employed, 61 modern efficient plants. These men with their families would make up a city of 200,000 people. But here's the important part, protecting these guys jobs. And how do we do that? We buy made in America and it says their individual purchase, because they have good jobs, they can go spend money. Their individual purchases of Food, clothing, shelter, automobiles, gasoline, furniture, radios, washing machines, vacuum cleaners, all help to support thousands of butchers, bakers, grocers, clothiers and other merchants. And that's really the circular system the founding fathers created. The founding fathers intended for our nation to be ran on terrorists. That's why they made the first legislative act that they enacted, the Tariff act of 1789. They, and so, you know, I, I, you know, what happened to Republic Steel? This is what happened to Republic Steel. And they were bought by a Mexican company in 2005. They closed their doors in 2023, and they wound down their last facility in Blasdale, New York. And for the town's compensation for decades of loss, they got $200,000 to complete a design study to revitalize that area where industry once reigned supreme. And that is what President Trump is trying to prevent.

[John Solomon]

Yeah, the ghost towns that the unfair trade policies of the last two decades have left a lot of Americans with. John Gardner, your book is a must read. Your thinking is fantastic. Great to have you on the show today. Thanks for joining us.

[John Gardner]

Thanks for having me, John. Thank you so much.

[John Solomon]

Yeah, really appreciate it. Great conversation. All right, folks, we got a quick commercial break. When we come back, we're going to talk about that food pyramid. Remember, it got flipped upside down by RFK and President Trump. A lot of people buzzing about it. So are people who want a healthier future. We're going to talk about one of them in a second. Welcome back, America. Time for one of the great segments of the week, the just the news health update brought to you by our great friends at natopath, one of our great partners here. It's time to highlight one of the biggest factors when it comes to our health. And it's just one most people just skip over. I'm talking about our diet. Yeah. You know why we skip over it? Right. Because what we eat determines a lot about our health. And it seems the Trump administration as well as Congress is taking note with a brand new food pyramid as well as a new MAHA caucus. Yep. A Make America Healthy Again caucus in the United States House and Senate. Yep. The ball is rolling. And a healthy America. Joining us now to discuss this is the director of product development at Natopath, our good friend Elijah McGrain. Elijah, great to have you back on.

[Elijah McGrain]

Always a pleasure. Thank you.

[John Solomon]

All right. The last time we were together, we talked a little bit about how much science evolves over the years. No better sign of that or no better piece of evidence than the fact that we just flipped the food pyramid. Upside down. Tell us a little bit about how that, that 25 year process suddenly came to be.

[Elijah McGrain]

Yeah, so I, it's, it's interesting. It's kind of, we can kind of say it's, it's been a long time coming, right. So we know probably going back to like the early, early 70s that we kind of had the four food groups and then, you know, it evolved later into the traditional food pyramid where we had kind of this base of, of grains at the very bottom. I think it, it literally was 6 to 11 servings of of grains and cereal a day. And then, you know, and then with a little bit of fat and kind of protein at the very top that also then morphed into what's called MyPlate. That was the last iteration where they, it was more or less the same recommendations, you know, really kind of moving away from full fat and you know, moderate, moderate amounts of protein, but still heavy on the grains, but just in a different kind of graphic. And interestingly, RFK and Maha, they like you said, literally flip the food pyramid on its head. So whereas now at the very, at the very bottom, that's where we have, you know, the cereal in grains, which is like the most narrow portion of this inverse pyramid. And then at the very top we have, we have protein and healthy fats.

[John Solomon]

Right?

[Elijah McGrain]

And if we think about it, this is likely how a lot of our ancestors ate and even how we, how we ate about, you know, 100 years ago, right before the induction of ultra processed food. Ultra processed food makes it very convenient and easy to have basically sugar. That's really, really what it is, sugar, salt and fat. But as the basis of your whole, whole diet, it's cheap, it's convenient and it tastes good.

[Yann Ye Kelek]

Right.

[Elijah McGrain]

There's really kind of no way around it. So interestingly, this new food pyramid, it sets guidelines that are taken into account by schools, by the military, just general direction health in the country. So myself and other people in the kind of, you know, in our industry couldn't be more excited.

[John Solomon]

You have a great product at Native Path Collagen. And I would say that Native Path was far ahead of this pyramid flip. You're focused on protein. You're also focused on how you source and process that. Tell us a little bit about what makes, get native, what makes Native Path Collagen so unique in this, this very conversation we're having right now.

[Elijah McGrain]

Yeah, no, definitely. So like we were just talking about, you know, the quality of our food. We really take that to all of the products that we do. It would Be very easy for us to buy cheap collagen, you know, from China, from industrial, you know, farming operations. However, we don't do that. We, we look from collagen all around, all around the world, but only focus on, you know, pasture raised, grass fed, antibiotic free cows that are kind of living as we've always talked about, as nature intended, right. We think that's not only important for humans, but also important for the food that we eat. And I think none can be emphasized so much as collagen. Right? So everything we source is, like I said, grass fed, pasture raised, it's living as kind of nature intended. And then not only that, we also go out of our way to test the purity. So we're constantly testing just the actual purity of the collagen, making sure that it's free of any contaminants, pesticides, because we want to be able to obviously back up our claims and also give this information to any consumer that may want it. So those facets, the actual, the sourcing and the quality and the purity are things that are non negotiable for us.

[John Solomon]

So important. And as I said, you guys at Native Path have been at the forefront of this debate. The rest of the world is catching up to the movement. You already started there. It's such an amazing thing. I know so many people that use Native Path and they just, they really relish the fact that it's made them feel better. It's an amazing thing. Elijah McGrain, director of product development at Native Path, it's always an honor to have you on the show. We love having the conversation. Thanks for joining us.

[Elijah McGrain]

Thank you. I appreciate it.

[Attorney General Alan Wilson]

We're going to focus on something gets right around the corner. Hard to believe. Won't be long before President Trump is together with President Xi in China at a major summit in Beijing currently planned for April. Some tough topics on the agenda. Likely we're going to turn to a senior editor at the Back Times. He's the host of a fantastic TV show I watch every week. He's an award winning filmmaker and now he's the author of a new book that I think everybody here needs to order and get ready when it comes out on March 17. Killed to China's organ harvesting industry and the true nature of America's biggest adversary. Yann Ye Kelek is with us right now. Jan, great to have you back on my friend.

[Yann Ye Kelek]

John, it's fantastic to be here.

[John Solomon]

This is not an easy subject, but if we're going to be a moral country, if we're going to be an effective country, we have to confront China about its forced organ harvesting monopoly. I guess maybe that's the best way to call it. Tell us a little bit about what forced organ harvesting is and how prevalent it is in China.

[Yann Ye Kelek]

John, I liked how you described a monopoly because it really is the only place in the world that it really even can happen. And so let me explain quickly, right? You need a kind of state actor. You need someone who can put push massive, massive propaganda through a population to basically dehumanize a large group of people, a target group of people, kind of like what the Germans did in the 30s to the Jewish people. You also have to have the power to incarcerate a huge group of people. Okay? And this is what they did with the Falun Gong practitioners back the Chinese Communist Party did with the Falun Gong practitioners back in 1999 when there were 70 to 100 million people basically doing this grassroots spiritual discipline, truthfulness, compassion, forbearance. And the dictator at the time decided to roll it up basically to eradicate it, to use his words. And what they did was they pushed massive propaganda into the system against this group and then also incarcerated a million, maybe 2 million, we don't know how many. Then they started blood typing, tissue typing, organ scanning. Okay, and here's the deal, okay? Before 2006, there were actually ads online that would say you can get a new heart at a Chinese hospital if you have 150 or 200 grand in the pocket, you can actually get that in two weeks scheduled. In any civilized society, any ethical transplantation system, it takes a long time to get a transplant because someone has to have a catastrophic accident and then they have to match their blood type, their tissue type, their organ size, and so forth, right? But in China, you've got this incarcerated prisoner of conscience who. Whose vitals are in a database and they are ready to be killed to order. The moment that you actually make that deal, you pay the cash, they can be shipped and killed to order. And that's the reason I called the book Killed to Order.

[John Solomon]

Yeah. It is stunning. It is a human atrocity that everyone should be speaking about, but it hardly gets discussed. I mean, you're one of the few. Talk a little bit about the target victims here, the Uyghurs, and, and those who are at odds with China being the most likely to be organ harvested.

[Yann Ye Kelek]

Well, this is actually the huge tragedy, right? In 2000, this is when the organ industry was very, very small. Then they incarcerated the Falun Gong and started working on them. For this industry, basically, it grows geometrically until 2005 and then kind of plateaus towards the end of 2000 at a 60 to 90,000 transplants a year, if you can imagine. We don't have really good evidence that it's actually gone down much from, from those kinds of numbers now, because nobody really did anything at 2014 and 2015. Now we're talking about it, the regime looked and found another group, and you mentioned them, the Uyghurs. Okay? So they've basically dehumanized a huge group of people, about 12 million in the northwest of China, and then they incarcerated a million or more of them. And then there's places. There's a guy named Ethan Gutman, he has a book coming out called the Xinjiang Procedure about that, named after that province. He's documenting situations where there's a hospital, there's a crematorium, and then there's an incarceration or concentration camp all side by side. And he's got some numbers that he's putting out as well, which I actually document in my book as well. Amazing, amazing work being done there. But my worry, John, is I'm seeing this kind of dehumanizing rhetoric now starting to kind of push against Christians. Christians. We've seen the Zion Church be rolled up, okay? The leaders are still in prison after many months. Okay. This was an Online group, basically. You know, they were really trying to not do anything afoul of the Chinese Communist Party, but it turns out just existing as Christians is a problem. And we even have Catholic clergy now being controlled at a higher level. I just talked with Bob Fu, my friend who works on China human rights issues related to Christians. He's a pastor in Midland, Texas, and he said, yes, he's seeing that same. Same dehumanizing rhetoric starting to happen. Let's actually stop this, right? Let's. Let's stop the next group from being added.

[John Solomon]

All right, we got about a minute left. President Trump's gonna come face to face with President Xi in Beijing on Chinese territory. What can the president do to address this and make a difference quickly?

[Yann Ye Kelek]

Forced organ harvesting is something the regime really hates brought up at any given time. Time. Right. I would propose. And the President Trump is perhaps one of the very few leaders in the world who could even do this. Okay. To simply say, you know, if you get rid of this abhorrent industry, you know, we can actually, you know, work with you in a much better way, because this is a crime against humanity. You know, no one wants to have this on their record. You could have it on their record, Mr. Xi, to get rid of this.

[John Solomon]

Yeah, yeah. Play to his legacy. As you know, the President always knows his negotiating opponents, greatest fares and his greatest wants, and usually tries to find both in the course of a negotiation. We'll see if that happens in Beijing, folks. Go get this extraordinary book Killed to Order. You need to know how bad this is. It's a bad thing. Yeah. And you're an amazing journalist. I've been blessed every time I've been on your show or when I read something you write. It's a great honor to have you on the show, my friend. Yeah. Good to have you. All right, folks. Kill to order. Go check it out. All right, folks, we'll be back tomorrow night with Monday with regular programming. Amanda should be back in the house from her trip. I'm really excited about that. And we should have some pretty bombshells next week on election integrity and weaponization. More from building on what we did this week. So be sure to get a good rest, because next week could be a fun news week. We'll be back to you on Monday. Until then, God bless you. Have a good night. This is an Iheart podcast. Guaranteed human.
