John Solomon
Good evening America. Happy Monday and welcome to the latest edition of Just the News. No Noise. I'm your host John Solomon reporting to you from the nation's capital. And today we have a bombshell, something that has been kept from you for nearly six years. In as early as February of 2020, United States intelligence community determined that China had breached U.S. voter registration data, had gained access to the data that voters used to register to vote in the 2020 election. Now remember, we've been told time and time again there were no foreign interferences in the 2020 election, but the US intelligence community absolutely concluded that China had done this. They had several reports involving several states. Now we don't know this yet because anyone in the Trump administration has declassified that information. They may soon do so. We've asked them to. And I believe they're honestly working on it. We know this because we were able to get a document that was declassified by the Biden administration that referred to these findings in April of 2020. It is a National Intelligence Council memo. If you go over to JustTheNews.com right now, the story just moved a few minutes ago. You can download that document and read it yourself. Page three, paragraph two, a single sentence that says that China began accessing voter registration data in hopes of analyzing American public opinion in the 2020 election. Now we have several intelligence officials confirming that this has been covered up for years. The only person ever to refer to it was the current CIA director, then the former, then the deputy, excuse me, the director of national intelligence under President Trump in 2020, who made reference to China's extensive intrusions on the 2020 election, accusing the CIA at the time of not paying enough attention to it. Now he's the director of the CIA. John Radcliffe is. But you will see all of the data. There are memos, interviews, open source intelligence that we guide you to. All of the facts, all on the record. It is a pretty big story. Go check it out@just the news.com with that, I'm going to turn things over to my amazing co host Amanda Head, who's checking some other headlines, particularly on Iran today. Big day for the president. Iran again.
Victoria Coates
Indeed.
Bobby Bones
Indeed. Yes. And the news changes every single day. But we've got some new headlines to get to tonight. We've talked about the threat of sleeper cell attacks in our cities. And we've witnessed terror attacks in major locations across this country from Austin to New York City. And last week, there was a targeted attack at a synagogue in West Bloomfield, Michigan. And we have more updates for you on that tonight. Authorities have identified the attacker as Ayman Mohammed Ghazali, a Lebanese born US Citizen. He rammed a vehicle into Temple Israel before opening fire on security guards and was killed in the confrontation. Now, according to Israeli officials, the attacker's brother, Ibrahim Mohammed Ghazali, was a commander within Hezbollah responsible for overseeing weapon operations related to rocket attacks against Israeli civilian areas. Ibrahim and other family members were killed in the Israeli airstrikes targeting a Hezbollah military site before the synagogue attack. Now, while these types of terrorist attacks on US Soil may not be directly orchestrated by Iran, these lone wolf Muslim extremist attackers pose a very serious national security threat. There could potentially be hundreds or even thousands of lone wolf attackers due to the Biden administration's open border policy. And as President Trump mentioned, if the administration is aware of these individuals, what can intelligence officials do to prevent such crimes from taking place? Now, speaking of Iran, the President blasted Iran and media outlets for promoting AI generated fake news about the war. The President stated this. Iran has long been known as a master of media manipulation and public relations. They are militarily ineffective and weak, but are really good at feeding the very appreciative fake news. Fake news media, false information. Now, AI has become another disinformation weapon that Iran uses. For instance, Iran, working in close coordination with the fake news media, shows our great USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier, one of the largest and most prestigious ships in the world, burning uncontrollably in the ocean. Not only was it not burning, it was not even shot at. Iran knows better than to do that. So, John, so much, so much information and misinformation and disinformation and mal information floating around. It's hard to keep it all straight.
John Solomon
It is. And all in the American media, which sometimes feels more like the propaganda arm of Iran today than others. It's just really remarkable some of the things I've seen in the last few weeks. You know, you can disagree with the war decision, but you got to give Americans the facts.
Bobby Bones
Absolutely. And they have let them decide.
John Solomon
You know, a little while ago, just before the show started, we had a chance to sit down with Congressman Gabe Evans. No nonsense. Guy served in Iraq. He saw Iran weaponry firsthand, those IEDs that killed some of his colleagues in the field. Then he became a cop. Now he's a member of Congress from Colorado. He weighed in on the media and truthfulness. It's a really fun conversation. Have a watch. All right. We're very lucky to kick off the show tonight with a congressman for the great state of Colorado who also served as a police officer, our good friend, Gabe Evans. Congressman, good to have you back on the show.
Congressman Gabe Evans
Always good to be back with you.
John Solomon
All right, I want to ask if you could lay in a little bit where we are. We have all this success going on in Iran. Our military is literally decimating the country. And if you read the New York Times or you watched cnn, you would come away with the idea that we're somehow losing the war. Tell us where you think we are and how there's such a disconnect between what's in the field and what's sometimes in the media.
Congressman Gabe Evans
Yeah, well, you know my backstory. I spent 12 years in the US army and the Colorado Army National Guard deployed to the Middle east. Actually, like, this was a big part of the miss Set that we had when we were over there in 2012 and 13, was countering Iranian aggression in the region. So both as a Black Hawk helicopter pilot and also as the intelligence officer for my battalion, I'm pretty familiar with what's going on right now. And honestly, I'm actually impressed and surprised with how easily we've been able to degrade and destroy Iran's air defenses and then be able to move on to other targets. Their launchers, their manufacturing capability for drones and for ballistic missiles, being able to identify and target their small boat fleet, their waterborne IED capability through the Persian Gulf, or when we were deployed, we called it the Arabian Gulf and the Straits of Hormuz. And so, honestly, I think that the military is, as the President said it is ahead of schedule. The operation is going at least equal to or better than the plans. And unfortunately, you just have very loud voices in the United States that can never be proud to be American. They can never root for America. We've seen it before before literally rallying in the streets, talking about freeing Palestine when Hamas was committing terrorist attacks. Well, Hamas has been on the State Department's terror watch list, really, since that watch list was conceived. So you have a loud, far left socialist group of folks that typically align with the Democrat Party that are literally in our streets at times cheering for terrorist organizations like Hamas. And so, of course, they're going to do everything they can to degrade and confuse the actual good work that our military is doing in protecting American interests, both abroad and here at the United States. Because Iran does present a threat to Americans on American soil.
Bobby Bones
Our military is doing very well for our country. Unfortunately, our immigration system has failed us. I know you commented on the ROTC class that was attacked at Old Dominion University, but there's this common thread among these attacks that these are naturalized citizens or children of naturalized parents. And I have to wonder how much of this terror has been imported and how much it's going to persist.
Congressman Gabe Evans
Yeah, it goes back to what I said, which is proud to be an American. You know my story. I'm the only Hispanic in Colorado's delegation, Republican, Democrat, House or Senate. But my grandfather, Maya Bulotemo Chavez, born in Mexico, came to the United States. He earned his citizenship with two Purple Hearts, fighting in Patton's Third army in World War II. And so we have to draw a distinction between those folks that are coming to the United States literally willing to shed their own blood for their new home, for their adopted country. And those folks that are coming to the United States to take advantage of our country, to take advantage of our prosperity, to take advantage of our security. We can see this happening in places around the country. We saw it up in Minnesota with the billions of dollars of fraud up there. We're actually voting on something later in the week here in the House around fraudsters who take advantage of the United States through the open border policies of the previous administration. So we just have to be able to separate the two out. Those good folks, again, like my grandfather, willing to shed their own blood for their adopted country. And the folks that want to rip us off are worse.
John Solomon
So important. So I want to talk a little bit about the vetting that we that occurred in the last few decades with people who came in, ultimately got naturalized, became citizens. We've had three or four incidents in the last week or so where a terror or violent attack is carried out by someone who's a naturalized citizen or the children of naturalized citizens. Over the weekend, some of the Trump administration officials saying maybe it's time to review how we vet people for citizenship or maybe make the citizenship test a little bit more challenging. Your thoughts as someone whose family immigrated here, your thoughts on that debate and whether there is some opportunity for Congress and others to get involved in it?
Congressman Gabe Evans
Yeah, I think Congress would love to get involved in this. The problem we're having right now is unfortunately, you know, we can pass things through the House despite Republicans having a one vote majority. We're getting the work done. We're passing the bills that Americans want to see through the House. And then they're all getting gummed up in the Senate because, as you know, rules, you got to have 60 votes to pass most things. Democrats only can control 53 votes. We need some Democrats to go along with these just general common sense ideas, and they refuse to go along with it. I sit on the Homeland Security Committee in the House and even broadly bipartisan issues in the Homeland Security Committee. Democrats aren't willing to even have the conversation right now because they are so fixated on going back to their open borders policies, their defund the police policies. And they're doing that right now by absolutely refusing to, to fund the Department of Homeland Security. And so you're absolutely correct. There's work that needs to be done to make sure that we're appropriately vetting people that are coming to the country, people that want to become a naturalized citizen. And unfortunately, that work won't get done when as we saw in the State of the Union, Democrats think they are working for illegal immigrants first because they couldn't stand when the President said stand up. If you work for the American people first, above and beyond illegal immigrants, as long as that's the Democrat Party position, it's tough to get something done specifically through the Senate.
Bobby Bones
You served our country from without in the US army as a captain and you served our country from within as a law enforcement officer. I know that you are a law and order guy. You look at the Statistics In Colorado, 41% decrease in homicides there. So it really just takes a little bit of coordination with the federal government to actually make this click.
John Solomon
Yeah.
Congressman Gabe Evans
And let's be absolutely clear. We are seeing major drops in crime, violent crime, homicides all around the country. And so in these big cities, oftentimes blue big cities like Denver, Colorado, a self avowed sanctuary jurisdiction inside a self avowed sanctuary state, Colorado, that crime decrease is not happening because of Democrat policies at the state or local level. That is 100% happening because Republicans at the federal level secured border and we let federal law enforcement actually go do their job. Turns out when you stop handcuffing the DEA and when you stop handcuffing all of the other federal law enforcement agencies, they can go out, they can go arrest the career criminals, the bad guys, the cartels, the organized crime members that are perpetuating violence in our communities. So this is a direct result of Republican policies. And the fact that it's happening in all of the big blue cities all across the country, all starting about, you know, the first part of, of 2025 is clear indication this is a result of good federal Republican policies. This has nothing to do with sanctuary jurisdictions or big blue cities forgetting how to police theoretically under the last four years and then suddenly remembering as soon as a new administration came into power in Washington D.C. which is what the mayor of Denver will tell you. Oh, this is all the result of the Denver police. I know those guys, I love them. They're handcuffed by their blue far left mayor. Crime drop is a direct result of Republican policies at the federal level.
John Solomon
And sir, before we let you go, there is a window left for Congress to get some more things done. There's already an incredible checklist of accomplishments that the Congress and the President gotten done in the first 14 months. What are top priorities for you? What do you want to see Congress get done in both chambers before you go out and meet the voters next November?
Congressman Gabe Evans
Yeah, as you said, we've done a tremendous amount of Work already. Things like no tax on overtime, things like putting more money back in the pockets of American people by giving them more tax breaks and by, you know, just making us a more business friendly environment where we reward work instead of punishing work by cutting a lot of the red tape and overregulation that's cropped up over the last several decades. And so a lot of those things were in the big beautiful bill, the working families tax cut. I saw it when I did my taxes again. Cop and a soldier. I've been doing my taxes my entire life, so I saw the result of those when I just did my taxes now. And I know that constituents are seeing that in their pocketbook. But we've got more work to do. One of the big things that I'm pushing forward on is just permitting reform. Again, we have to be able to reward work, reward innovation, reward bringing jobs back to the United States. And we do that by making sure that the bureaucracy is working for, for the American people and for the economy and not strangling it through red tape and overregulation. So I have a couple of pieces of legislation specifically that I'm working around, around air quality permitting so that we can actually build things in the United States rather than export those jobs to China and then have all of the Chinese pollution blow right back into, into the United States. But, but the permitting and permitting reform so we can build things and create jobs again, have more energy on the grid. These are all things to happen by trying to get the bureaucracy right sized and make it work for the economy. I think that's what the American people want to see whenever they talk about cost of living and the economy and jobs. We have to make sure that we have a good environment that rewards those. And so that's a big focus of mine for the remainder of this Congress.
John Solomon
Yeah, it will have a huge impact on the economy if we can get it through. Congressman, great to have you on the show. Thank you to your grandfather and to you for your extraordinary service to your country. Thank you. Great to have you on.
Congressman Gabe Evans
Always good to be on with you.
Dr. Peter McCullough
Yeah.
John Solomon
Thank you so much, sir. All right, folks, we got a lot more discussion up next, including what we know about Iran's new leader. President Trump was weighing in on that, in fact, had some people chuckling this morning. We'll get to that next with Victoria Coates, former Deputy National Security Adviser, right after these messages. Hey, folks. I used to think a mattress was just a piece of furniture until I got my ghostbed when I bought my first mattress. From Ghostbed. It was a game changer. Why? Because Ghostbed doesn't build mattresses like furniture. They build engineered sleep systems. Their beds are serious health equipment. Beds designed for relief and recovery, not looks, not fluff. Your body should be healing while you sleep, not fighting for comfort. I notice a difference right away. If you're waking up stiff, tossing and turning, sleeping hot, even reaching for a pain reliever before bed, hoping tonight's going to be different. Guess what? That may not be aging. It could be your mattress talking to you. And here's another thing I love about Ghostbed. You get 101 nights to try it at home. If you don't feel the difference, you can send it back risk free. Ghostbed is offering my audience their lowest prices of the year plus an extra 10% off. Go to ghostbed.com justnews and use promo code justnews. That's ghostbed.com justnews promo code. Just News

Call 1-800-GRAINGER, click grainger.com or just stop by Grainger for the ones who get it done. Welcome back, everybody, to just the News. No noise. As the war in Iran continues, why are our allies reluctant about the President's request to help secure key shipping routes? Meanwhile, authorities suggest there are still concerns about potential sleeper cell attacks here in the United States. So joining us to put all of this in perspective, a former deputy national Security Advisor to President Trump and vice President of the Katherine and Shelby column, David Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy at the Heritage foundation, our good friend Victoria Coats. Victoria, thank you so much for being here.
Victoria Coates
Thank you guys for having me on.
Bobby Bones
Absolutely. So I see a lot of folks out there who are, you know, they kind of have this, this air of shock to them that our NATO allies aren't rushing to the Straits of Hormuz to protect these shipping lanes. I'm not convinced that President Trump thought they would. Are you?
John Solomon
No.
Victoria Coates
I don't think anybody was under any illusions about the naval capabilities of our NATO allies. They can't take care of Ukraine, which is in their backyard. They've been begging us to deal with it now for four plus years. And so the notion that they were somehow going to be able to project power into the Persian Gulf was delusional. And if they have any power to project, as I said, I'd like them to project it towards Ukraine. Deal with your own problems so we don't have to. And we can take care of this problem with our great and good Israeli allies. So it exposes the utter lack of European investment in their own defenses. Ever since 1992, when they essentially stopped spending on defense on the assumption that they would have the United States guarantee their security. But now they're being revealed as the ultimate paper tiger.
John Solomon
Man, it is remarkable. It is a reckoning time for Europe on many, many fronts. Months. Victor, I want to talk a little bit more about the state of the US Operation. If you read the New York Times, cnn, you'd swear we were having a bad time in Iran. But it seems like we have complete naval air domination, that we're now dropping the big bombs on big fortified structures and collapsing them down on Iran's killers. How do you assess our progress? And when do you think it's reasonable for the President to start considering letting the Iranian people come out and change their leadership?
Victoria Coates
I mean, this is really remarkable, John. I mean, the way this is being covered. What I've been tracking over the last couple of days is this new narrative that the United States has created an environmental disaster in Iran. Just go back to December of 2025, three months before this all began. And we have those same outlets reporting that Iran is the number one environmental disaster on the planet. This was already happening and now they're trying to blame it on President Trump like, no, the mullahs did it. You're trying to run cover for them. The coverage of this is just ridiculous. But at the same time, I think by any conceivable rational metric, we are completely dominating Iran. They were naked from the get go. We were able to take that huge first strike, taking out the Supreme Leader and most of their leadership. And then since then, we've been operating essentially with impunity. And of course, all mourn the 13 heroes that we've lost and those each of those lives needs to be remembered and lionized. But at the same time, there's just no comparison between what's been done to Iran by the combined might of the United States in the lead and with Israel.
Bobby Bones
Victoria, Their nuclear capabilities have been, I think, effectively rebelized, at least for the time being. But now you've got President Trump's threats on Carg Island. Is that enough to put the fear of God into them, to move them away from this belligerent state where I think that for a while they've said, we're never giving up, there's nothing you can do. Does that move them a little bit in the other direction, knowing that their entire oil supply could quite literally go up in smoke?
Victoria Coates
I think that's going to be the key to it, Amanda, that they are trying to hold us all hostage energy wise, using the strait of hormones. And that has been their, quote unquote, trump card since 1979. But some things have changed. So, first of all, the President has shown himself willing to strike Carg Island. As you said, that's more than 90% of their oil exports. And if they're holding straight at risk, that reduces their ability to export oil. And that's their only source of income at this point. And we also have the Saudi Trans, Saudi Arabia pipeline, so called petroline, between Abacaik and Yanbu. So between the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea, they have this pipeline. They built it in 1982 to guard against the Iran Iraq war at the time, but they kept it up, they kept expanding it, and now it can do up to 8 million barrels a day. And so that's a big piece. That's more than a third of the normal traffic of the Gulf can be transferred by pipeline across Saudi Arabia. So all of these things are making the Iranians less and less effective in holding us all hostage and builds our leverage over them. And hopefully this will get them to the point where they just simply do the right thing. Surrender, give up their highly enriched uranium and agree to President Trump's terms.
John Solomon
Yeah. So important, I want to ask a little bit about a story we broke just before we came on air. The first document showing that the US Intelligence community knows that China has access voter registration data, that is things like Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers. It's something so sensitive that Democrats say they don't want even the Justice Department, the Trump Justice Department, to have access. That's kind of laughable since the Justice Department represents the governor government. But if it's so sensitive, should we be concerned that China had its hands on this data as early as February 2020?
Victoria Coates
Oh, absolutely. And this goes back to the whole issues, all of the issues around the 2020 campaign and the 2020 election and how rigged it was and how many malignant foreign actors had a hand in this. And so people like to say, oh, it's just Donald Trump, he can't stand to lose. He won't admit that he lost. No, it's about our election integrity. And that's why we care so much about this at the Heritage Foundation. It's one of our key priorities is to ensure free and fair elections because there's so much cheating that goes on and there are so many, as I said, hostile foreign actors who are getting involved in this. So hats off to you guys for pushing on this, to CIA Director John Ratcliffe for starting to get this information out to the public. We need to know how much China hates our free system of government and how far they're willing to go to try to manipulate it.
Bobby Bones
I want to ask you one more thing related to what John was asking because we also know that China sent driver's licenses over here, obviously trying to move the election in a different direction. If they had had their way, if we had had a Kamala Harris, what would Iran have even happened? And if so, what would the future, I mean, I guess a few weeks now. What's supposed to happen in a few weeks? The dealings between President Trump and what would that look like differently?
Victoria Coates
Oh, it would be 180 degrees. Amanda, Kamala Harris is one of the ultimate Iranian apologists. She and her who would have been her national security advisor, Phil Gordon, have been doing outreach to Iran for years. They think that they're domesticated, that you can reason with them, you can get them into a good nuclear deal. This is great for America. And at the same time they try to freeze out Israel. And a lot of the anti Israel sentiment that we see in the United States right now comes from this kind of Democrat narrative of which Xi is one of the leaders. And can you imagine Kamala Harris having a summit with Chairman Xi? The reason President Trump is willing to go to Beijing and meet with Chairman Xi is because he's doing it from a position of strength. And I thought it was really interesting last weekend when a week into or maybe two weeks ago, I guess now it's all running together into the Iran war, the Chinese reached out and said, no, no, we want to keep the summit. If they were really trying to defend their Iranian so called allies, they would have canceled the Senate. No, they want to meet with President Trump and Trump would go in there in a position of strength. Kamala would have been the weakest president to meet with Chairman Xi since President Biden did in San Francisco. So this is we are so fortunate as the American people to have a strong president who's willing to defend our interests and stand up to the communist Chinese rather than accommodate them.
Bobby Bones
Things will be so different on so many fronts. Vice president for national security and foreign policy at the Heritage Foundation, Victoria Coats, thanks so much for being with us tonight.
Victoria Coates
Thanks you guys.
Bobby Bones
Great to see you. All right, everybody. Coming up next, we're going to take a deep dive into the misconceptions surrounding the Iranian regiment as some on the left continue their support. That and more coming up.

Welcome back, America. As protests continue against the war in Iran, we'll dive into the realities of the Iranian regime and how it's has terrorized its citizens over the past few decades. Something you don't actually hear a lot of when you read the traditional medium. Why is the narrative so hijacked in traditional news media? It's a great question for all of us joining us now to discuss this and a whole lot more, screenwriter, political commentator, co founder of PJ Media and author of the upcoming geopolitical thriller book Emmett, set to release tomorrow, it's Roger Simon. Roger, great to have you on the show.
Roger Simon
Well, it's always fun to be here with you guys and but I gotta tell you, it sort of relates to last night's Oscar event because boy, oh boy, were they talking about nothing with no idea what's going on in Iran. You know, I'm a member of the Academy, but I haven't voted. And I'm an Oscar nominee former, but I haven't voted in that thing in about five years. I mean, it's just disgusting. It's a disgusting event. I mean, I could vote if I wanted, but hell, and you know, that relates directly to what you're saying because none of the, I mean, they're unbelievably clueless about what really goes on with the Islamic regime in Iran. And when I was doing PJ Media starting at 20 years ago in Tarantulas, which is what everybody calls Los Angeles because of all the Persians that live there, I met dozens of them. And in fact, one of the things people don't know about me is I have a broadcast career to not as successful as John Solomons, but I did broadcast once a week to terror from a small studio in the San Fernando Valley in English, because I don't know Farsi, but I would try to give them the real events. Who listened? I don't know. But I hope I didn't get anybody killed.
John Solomon
So important to understand the cultural elitism that's occurred. The elitists who drive a lot of the narrative, whether they're in the news media or in the culture space, they literally are disconnected from reality. How did we get to that circumstance? How did we get to a point where the elitist either don't care or don't know what's going on?
Roger Simon
It's been going on for a really long time. I mean, now. Now we see it really large because this is like constant life and death in a really extreme way. But I think this is, you know, that's why, you know, those of us who started alternative media, you know, at the break of this century, actually it's all thing and now it's all splitting apart and we have nut the extreme right that we all know about that are, you know, trying to ruin the whole thing and all of a sudden they're on the side of the Ayatollah. I mean, go figure. But I mean, I think that goes way back to the Progressive Era and all that. And it just grew and grew and grew and people didn't do much about it. And as someone, as you would know very well, John, the freedom of the press tends to belong to the man who owns one.
John Solomon
And that's where that's true.
Roger Simon
Very true. You know, it's true of AI. It's true of everything. And, you know, that's why I'm trying to publish books independently now, so that they can't censory anymore. But we'll see. You know what? I'll tell you quickly what, Emmett, is an attempt to comment on the events of the day from a real macro kind of. I could be pretentious and say Tolstoyan point of view. It's a thriller, but it's all about whether God intervenes in these affairs. I was thinking about it today because a fragment of a missile landed there on the dome, near the Dome of the Rock. And something similar happens in the novel.
Podcast Announcer
Really?
John Solomon
Yeah. Wow, fascinating.
Bobby Bones
So this, this is out tomorrow. Give our audience a little bit more of a teaser. Why did you decide to write this one? I know you've written many, but tell us about this one.
Roger Simon
Years ago, I wrote a series about a character named Moses Wine. But that was the way I was then. I was a bit of a lefty back in my college days, like a lot of people. Anyway, I'm not anymore, and I. And this is a kind of a way to start a new series. It's based on the myth of the golem, which is an old myth from Judaism, but sometimes it predates it, depending, which would make it 5,000 years old. Actually was the progenitor of Frankenstein, according to Mary Bysshe Shelley, who wrote Frankenstein, Anyway, what the golem is, is a 10 foot giant that's molded out of clay by a rabbi in order to fight the anti Semites. Only he goes a little bit crazy and the rabbi's got to stop him. But the word emmet and the title comes from the word for truth in Hebrew, which is what the rabbi writes in the forehead of this monster in order to activate it. And this, this is the first of a series because the, because the, you know, the golem doesn't die and I will. I can't tell you too much because it's a thriller. It's a thriller on one level. On the other level, it asks the ultimate question, which is when and if and does God intervene in human affairs? We all wish he did.
John Solomon
Profound question, Profound question. Particularly in the time we live in. Now, before we let you go, as you look out at the war right now, Roger, what do you see as the likely path of the next few weeks? Does the US eventually achieve its goals pretty quickly?
Roger Simon
I sure hope so. On the other hand, there's a lot of things against it, but I, you know, when Trump was talking about. I know you had just had Victoria on, she's a great prognosticator, knows more than I do. But the whole thing about NATO getting involved and not getting involved in this business about the Strait of Hormuz is key. Except that I think, and I think you guys might know more about this is that what's said in public ain't what's happening. And that even.
John Solomon
Great point.
Roger Simon
Even a stunk like Starmer that everybody despises might be behind the scenes cooperating. We don't even know these things. I mean, but you know, we can only hope. And you know, the most important these I met, I met agents of the moles when I was doing those broadcasting into Tehran from Los Angeles, not knowing what the hell I was doing all around. They have agents all over the place. They had agents then in Taranga's Los Angeles.
John Solomon
It's amazing. Yeah, there's no doubt about it.
Bobby Bones
Roger, before we let you go, I wanted to ask you one more. Are you concerned about AI and its presence in media? Because we're seeing this with, with Iran videos too.
Roger Simon
Oh boy. Yes, you may put me out of business, but you know, it's interesting and I'm going to write an article for my substance very shortly about this. I've had long discussions with ChatGPT about whether it is going to put me out of bid for. Actually, I will reproduce them verbatim and you'll laugh. I hope I can see that you will laugh. But Chat GBT insists that it won't because it can't get the idea for a novel. It can only help you once you get the idea. I don't know about that. For now, I think I'm funnier than they are anyways. At least that's indeed.
John Solomon
We agree with that.
Bobby Bones
Roger, it's always a pleasure having you with us and we are looking forward to the rest of that series as well. Co founder of PJ Media, Roger Simon. Thanks so much.
Roger Simon
Thank you.
Bobby Bones

Bobby Bones
Welcome back, everybody, to Just THE News. No noise. While the Trump administration has made progress in reforming our broken health care system, there are still major issues that need to be addressed. And as the years go on, we continue to hear about the long term effects of COVID vaccines and the MRNA vaccines. So what can you do to help protect yourself? Joining us now here he is world renowned doctor and chief scientific officer at the Wellness Company, also the co author of Vaccines, Mythology, ideology and Reality, Dr. Peter McCullough. Dr. McCullough, thanks for being with us.
Dr. Peter McCullough
Thank you.
Bobby Bones
I want to ask you about something that just popped up in the news cycle this afternoon. President Trump's chief of staff, Susie Wiles, announced that she has early stage breast cancer. Now, knowing what a powerful force of nature she is, I feel bad for any cancer that has to go up against that woman because she will beat anything. But it's early stage. So that sounds to me like a good thing and, you know, possibly something that's easy to get rid of. But your thoughts on that and does the vaccine contribute to this? We don't know if she's vaccinated or not.
Dr. Peter McCullough
You know, President Trump really cast a very positive note on this, said that it's going to be very manageable. And boy, does he, he, you know, he preys on her probably more than anyone, I think in his orbit this term. Now, breast cancer is very treatable when it's caught early. Of course, it depends on the type. Now, Susie Wild's mother died of some form of abdominal cancer at age 71. Susie is 68 and there's no mention of her either having Covid or taking the vaccine. But what I recommend for my patients is to get the breast cancer tissue stained for the spike protein as well as do a test called a reverse PCR to try to identify Pfizer or Moderna in the breast cancer tissue. It actually may change the prognosis. And then of course, she'll engage in the typical treatments and maybe surgery for cure or junctive radiotherapy or chemotherapy. At the Wellness company, we have some natural products that also can be additionally applied, including shield, which is a wonderful combination of Anti cancer botanicals.
John Solomon
Yeah, we're all learning so much more about how much prevention is at our fingertips if we just rely on it. I want to turn to something that also happened just a little while ago. A federal judge blocking Robert F. Kennedy's vaccine reform, slowing down the schedule for vaccines for children. Once again, the court's getting in the middle of what should normally be a science debate. Debate your thoughts on that and what it could mean for the reforms that are in motion right now.
Dr. Peter McCullough
This is a real blow to rfk. This was federal Judge Brian Murphy in the case of aap, the American Academy of Pediatrics versus Robert F. Kennedy and hhs. But in reality, there was six major medical organizations that were all pushing to overturn all the work that the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, or ACIP panel, had actually done over the last year, including abandoning the hepatitis B vaccine on the first day of life for healthy children who don't need it, including President Trump's trimming of the vaccine schedule to make our schedule look like Denmark. In fact, all that's now reversed. There's stays put on all of those changes. The committee may be disbanded. And so I think what we have learned from this, I'm sure it'll be fought, is that we really can't achieve medical freedom or vaccine freedom through a federal committee. It's really going to have to happen at the state and individual, you know, person level. This is disappointing in many who wanted to see reform in terms of vaccines. We're back to square one, basically.
Bobby Bones
That's unfortunate. Dr. McCullough, I want to ask you about some other vaccines outside of the childhood vaccine schedule for vaccines that someone might get in their adult life, if you step on a rusty nail, you get a tetanus shot. If you get too friendly with a raccoon, you get a rabies shot. For any of these vaccines, which ones are mri, mRNA, flu shot too, which one of these are mRNA? And therefore, people probably should steer clear of it because it's outside of that traditional vaccine.
Dr. Peter McCullough
Well, right now, the messenger RNA vaccines on the market are the Pfizer and Moderna Covid vaccines and then the Moderna respiratory syncytial virus vaccines. And because they haven't gone through the preclinical testing for, you know, cancer testing or cardiac toxicity or other, you know, my advice is to steer clear of them.
John Solomon
So before we let you go, I want to talk a little bit about where we are in reforming a health care system that was completely exposed during the pandemic. There are conflicts of interest Between Big Pharma and the doctors, there are bureaucrats that insert themselves into the doctor patient relationship. And then of course, there's the whole vaccine debate and skipping through some of the safety and health testing that we did during COVID David, where are we in that reform process and what would you like to be seen done in the next year?
Dr. Peter McCullough
I think a big step forward would be to remove the liability protection for vaccine manufacturers, that 1986 Vaccine Injury Compensation act legislation. I think that would just let the reform naturally flow through the court processes and probably a lot of the companies with withdraw their products. We just wouldn't have this battle. We're seeing some progress on individual case basis in terms of harms that have been, you know, occurred or realized to patients during the pandemic, but no sweeping reforms at this point in time. We're not really seeing any changes with respect to conflict of interest. HHS within its own, you know, its own agency has conflicts of interest externally. So I'm still greatly concerned we're not on the right track.
Bobby Bones
Dr. McCullough, before we let you go, we are all, I think in most regions of the country, we are in the schizophrenic spring season right now, where it's 65 here today. Tomorrow it's going to be 39 and everybody is getting sniffles and sick. What products and practices would you recommend to just help us us toward that?
Dr. Peter McCullough
I suggest natural immunity from the Wellness Company as a baseline immune booster. It's a capsule immune defense, which is a nasal spray and throat spray system. And then people, of course, keeping themselves fit and trim and doing reasonable things. If you're sick, it's reasonable to stay home. That's actually when you should stay home until you return to the workplace without a fever or, you know, without symptoms. So I think if people did this, we wouldn't spread around these viral infections so much. And I can tell you, I think the twice daily nasal spray, throat spray and gargle healthy immunity and just doing something every day does reduce the frequency of these colds.
Bobby Bones
I think we should ship cases of the nasal spray and throat spray because we live, we are in an office of workaholics and I don't know anyone who pushes off work when they get a sniffle. So we're going to have to invest in that for sure. World renowned doctor and chief scientific officer at the Wellness Company, Dr. Peter McCullough. Thanks for being with us, sir.
Dr. Peter McCullough
Thank you.

It is our final segment of the show and I wanted to show you a conversation that RAV correspondent Benny Harmony had with some folks outside of the White House who had a pretty interesting take on the conflict with Iran.
Victoria Coates
So we are the voice and the echo of the people of Iran that
John Solomon
currently there's a 14 day Internet blackout
Victoria Coates
and we are here to say Iran needs to be freed from this Iranian regime that has killed over 32,000 plus
Congressman Gabe Evans
like President Trump said.
John Solomon
And we are here for their voices
Congressman Gabe Evans
to say we are one of a
John Solomon
free Iran and we want Pahlavi to
Victoria Coates
be our transitional leader. Tell us what your perspective is on the war that's happening in Iran and do you support what President Trump is doing?
John Solomon
Definitely support the president 100%. And this is the only chance we have the world has to get rid
Roger Simon
of the Islamic terrorism.
John Solomon
Islamic Republic is getting much of Islamic terrorism.
Victoria Coates
The world should understand by them going
Roger Simon
away, Islamic terrorism will go away.
John Solomon
Totally support this war.
Bobby Bones
It's not actually war. It's called rescue mission.
John Solomon
President Trump Fight, fight to government my country for people, Iranian freedom.
Bobby Bones
John, it was interesting what that person said. He said this is not a war, it's a rescue mission. And you look at, at the people of Iran and what they have endured for 47 years.
Dr. Peter McCullough
Yeah.
John Solomon
And watching the shame of their country attack so many innocent people around the world. I mean the Iranians were a proud people before the Shah fell. They were a westernized people. They loved our entertainment. Some of our sitcoms were very popular in Iran before the fallen. And then from the embassy hostage taking to the IEDs to October 7th with Hamas, they have denigrated that country. The mullahs have. And I think there's a moment ahead where they'll have a chance to liberate the people around. It'd be pretty darn interesting to see when and if that happens. But it's hard to find any, it's hard to find accurate reporting in a lot of the stories that are out there. Just really bad stuff.
Bobby Bones
Absolutely. You mentioned the entertainment industry and the culture there in Iran. And last night I was watching just a few of, a few pieces, a few minutes of the Oscars. I couldn't stomach the whole thing. But I just kept thinking to myself, you know, we were talking about Schizophrenic Spring last night seemed schizophrenic because not that long ago last month was the Golden Globes and the plight from the dais was Venezuela, and now it's Iran. And I kept thinking to myself, there are a number of very well known American actors of Iranian descent.
John Solomon
Sure.
Bobby Bones
And when I saw those actors and actresses up there wearing the, you know, palace Palestinian flag pens and, you know, basically speaking against this administration and this conflict with Iran, I just kept thinking to myself, I wonder what those people are thinking. And as Roger was saying, there is a huge Persian population in Los Angeles. What are those people thinking? They've got to be looking at those idiot celebrities saying, don't you care about us? Don't you care about our family members that were murdered by this regime? Don't you care about what we're still going to.
John Solomon
Yeah, I remember when Hollywood was concerned about famine and African real global causes, and today they're interested in a leftist ideology and the people that they put up are props. And the facts are almost void from the debate. So that's why people don't watch these awards in the same numbers that they used to.
Bobby Bones
All right, I want to skip down to the bottom of our SOT list to Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman, a favorite of mine. She had, well, her take on election integrity and the reason why Republicans want voter envy.
Dr. Peter McCullough
Check it out.
Congressman Gabe Evans
Trump wants to go back and Republicans
John Solomon
want to go back to people voting
Congressman Gabe Evans
on one day and only allowing them
John Solomon
to vote if they are like with a doctor's note, basically, and that they or they're not going to be in their precinct. In Florida. We've had no excuse vote by mail
Bobby Bones
for over 20 years.
John Solomon
It works well, it works effectively. There's zero evidence of fraud in its use. And it's very obvious that Republicans like their redistricting effort, just want to make sure that people who are going to
Bobby Bones
come to the polls and vote for
John Solomon
anyone other than them can't do it.
Bobby Bones
Zero evidence of fraud. Is that like zero evidence that China meddled in the 2020 election? Or that they sent fake IDs to the United States or that CISA actually did know the difference?
John Solomon
Think about the Democratic Party. They don't want to let the Justice Department department see voter rolls, but they were glad to stay silent for four years of Joe Biden when trying to get our voter rolls got the, you know, and then we're talking about sensitive data, like something that you could fake a ballot request with. The Democrats are on the side of terrorists on the side of Chinese hackers, on the side of everybody but the American people. They. They do it with their words. I don't understand the strategy. It doesn't benefit them come election time.
Bobby Bones
I know, and we've talked about this many times, that President Trump, you know, when you, when your party, when your party's identity becomes we hate Donald Trump and Trump derangement syndrome, and you oppose him at every turn, then there inevitably are going to be issues that your base also agrees with. But now they are in a place where because of that positioning, they have to oppose him on even the same things like voter id.
John Solomon
Yeah, it's a head scratcher, but it's where they are. It's why, you know, I had interviewed the RNC chairman. He's very optimistic. Optimistic about November.
Roger Simon
Yeah.
John Solomon
Money wise, election wise, candidate wise. Be interesting to see how it checks out.
Bobby Bones
Well, everybody go check that out on John Solomon reports. In the meantime, have a great night. We'll see you tomorrow.
Episode Date: March 16th, 2026
Podcast: Real America’s Voice
Hosts: John Solomon & Amanda Head
Featured Guests: Congressman Gabe Evans, Victoria Coates, Dr. Peter McCullough, Roger Simon
Theme: Unfiltered analysis of current events focusing on foreign interference in U.S. elections, national security, the Iran conflict, media narratives, border policy, health reforms, and the long-term impacts of COVID policies.
This episode delivers in-depth investigative and analytical discussions around bombshell revelations of Chinese interference in the 2020 U.S. election, escalating Iranian tensions, national security concerns around terrorism, America's border and immigration system, and reflections on vaccine reforms and media culture. The panel emphasizes challenging mainstream media narratives, defending American interests and values, and scrutinizing government transparency and policy, featuring candid interviews with leading voices from Congress, think tanks, and the media.
The discussion is assertive and combative towards mainstream media and progressive politics, framed with a strong sense of urgency for national security, governmental accountability, and American values. The language is direct, “no nonsense,” and frequently laced with skepticism, especially regarding official narratives or media reporting. Guest segments provide expert depth, personal perspective, and policy specifics, aiming to mobilize and inform a values-driven audience.
This episode underscores the hosts’ and guests’ conviction that critical threats to American freedom and security stem from foreign interference, hybrid warfare (disinformation campaigns), and perceived domestic policy failures—particularly relating to border security, immigration, and election integrity. The Iran conflict and revelations about China drive home a call for strong leadership, media vigilance, and a commitment to transparency, while the closing segments urge health vigilance and skepticism of centralized regulatory power. The show’s blend of news-breaking scoops, expert interviews, and cultural critique seeks to inform and energize listeners seeking alternatives to conventional media narratives.
