Tone & Style

Consistently intense, skeptical of mainstream/legacy institutions, and focused on rooting out institutional bias—especially in intelligence and media. The language is direct, often passionate or indignant. There’s a patriotic undercurrent: protection of American interests, transparency, and holding public servants accountable drive the entire discussion.

Good evening, America. Happy Wednesday and welcome to the latest edition of JUST THE News. No noise. I'm your host John Solomon reporting to you as always from the nation's capital, where today the top intelligence chiefs of the US Government testified before Congress while senators began absorbing the news that we break in [e-mail] yes. Two days ago we told you on this show first, you got it first, that there was evidence that China had access to the voter registration databases of American voters just like they did in Great Britain. In Great Britain, it was a scandal. In America, it was a hash hush. Cover up the CIA, other intelligence agencies not telling the American people or Congress about it. Today we've got a new angle on that story. Why did the intelligence committees keep it from the president, from the Congress, from the American people? Well, according to the intelligence committee's ombudsman, because the intelligence community analysts on China didn't like President Trump or his policies. So they put their personal political interest ahead of country and they intentionally kept it secret. In fact, they even used words like Bulgarian to talk about their commander in chief, who they should have been giving the intelligence to. All of those documents from intelligence ombudsman as well as the intelligence analyst reports that are the basis of our story available atjust the news.com with I'm going to turn to my amazing co host. We're going to be talking about this all so long, including with Senator Ron Johnson at the top of the show. Amanda, you now have proof that the deep state, like the president likes to call them, knew something was meaningful to the president, knew it was meaningful to the country, to the Congress, decided they want to tell because they want to further the president's policies. Pretty crazy stuff.

[A]

Yeah. You know, I think one of the most depressing parts of this story is that I think for the American people, they think, well, there's got to be enough good people interwoven in these agencies that the secret will get out.

[D]

It didn't.

[A]

Well, I mean, it did, but six years later when it comes to this, it took six years. It Took intrepid, indefatigable reporting by you and Jerry Dunleavy to get this information. So when the John Solomons of the world retire, please don't ever retire. What's going to happen?

[C]

Yeah, well, we got to keep digging. We have lots of truth to still be had. We have a couple of intelligence reports. We'd love to get the raw underlying data. I think the public needs to know that everybody we talked to on today's show, including the chairman of the President's Intelligence Advisory Board, Devin Nunes, Senator Ron Johnson, all weighing in on this. It's definitely been the talk of the town the last couple days. Just a little while ago we, we caught Senator Ron Johnson in between meetings in the Senate. He had a lot to say. Have a watch. All right, folks, we got the perfect guest to kick off tonight's show. He is the chairman of the most powerful investigative subcommittee in Congress, a permanent subcommittee on investigation. He also represents the great state of Wisconsin. We're always lucky to have him on the show. Senator Ron Johnson. Senator, great to have you on the show.

[E]

Well, John. Hello, Amanda. Hope you're doing well.

[C]

We are, sir. Glad to have you on. All right, the Senate's now in the point of debating the Save America Act. And now we know for the first time two things from the, from the Assistant Attorney General for Civil rights. We know there are tens of thousands of non citizens who she has confirmed made it on to voter rolls. And we know from the Intelligence Committee from documents declassified by ODNI and CIA that China breached multiple states voter registration data in 2020. We were kept in the dark about that. Do either of those have any impact on the dynamics of the Senate or should they?

[E]

Well, they won't impact Democrats. And right now, while we have the 60 vote threshold, unless we get Democrat support, we're not going to be able to pass this. But it's important for your listeners to understand that the reason Democrats refuse to enact any kind of election integrity measures, even though I was on the floor, Chuck Schumer's giving a speech saying, you know, we're all for common sense voter id. No, you're not. You're just saying that the reason they oppose it is because this is their game plan. Flood America with millions of illegal immigrants, set them into sanctuary cities and states, plump up the census, plump up your members of Congress, but also do everything you can to degrade the controls of our election to protect the fact legitimate votes from being canceled by fraudulent votes. They want to make it easy to cheat. So this is a hill they are more than willing to die on. And they'll say anything. They'll tell any lie. They'll mischaracterize what is very reasonable legislation, legislation that by and large, 80% of the American people support because they don't want their legitimate votes canceled by. By fraudulent votes. And so Democrats, this is their bread and butter. This is part of their game plan.

[A]

Senator, will they die on this Hill? Because, you know, we all hear them making these farcical arguments like married women can't change their name and people who live in rural communities don't have access to it when there are plenty of resources that abound for that. Will this hurt them with their own voters, who, by the way, are a part of that 71% of the entire country who support voter ID.

[E]

Not if their voters get the news from the legacy media. And legacy media will never hold them accountable. They'll never report on Democrat falsehoods and mischaracterizations. So again, it's a big problem. It's a big advantage Democrats have. I mean, right now, we've shut down DHS during a very dangerous moment in our history. We have heightened threat alerts here in America, and Democrats have shut down dhs, long lines of TSA because people aren't getting paid. All these agencies met here to keep us safe. And where's the hue and outcry for the mainstream media against the party that's causing this, which are Democrats? This is obviously another Senator Schumer shutdown and they're not being held accountable. So they're digging their heels in. I don't know exactly what they expect. I think that their golden ring here on this thing is to limit our ability to get rid of criminal aliens by requiring a judicial warrant for all these things, which is impossible. You simply don't have the Article three courts and judges to issue judicial warrants, which is why we've always enforced our immigration through administrative warrants and administration process through the executive branch.

[C]

Yeah, and authorized by Congress. The Congress had set it up that way. So it's the way the system supposed to work. So I want to go back to the China question, because when Great Britain learned that its voter registration database was breached in 2024, it was a national crisis that led to recriminations and reforms and firings and blue ribbon panels and a significant improvement in security for their election systems. We now know the Intelligence Committee has known the same thing happened here since 2020. And to date, there really hasn't been any action. Would you like to See the Trump administration brief senators on what states were breached, how many names were affected, and get the Senate that information so each state can begin to adjust.

[E]

I wish they briefed the American people on it. I don't know why you want to keep this classified or hidden.

[B]

This.

[E]

This needs to be thoroughly investigated. And when we have the results of that investigation, make it available to the public. But the sooner the better. I mean, I would like to have all this information out. I appreciate your reports. You know, while we have this piece of legislation on the floor of the Senate and understand what we're trying to do here, at least from my standpoint. So we start with the Save America Act. It's a pretty slim, you know, skinny bill, just requires voter ID at the point of voting and requires you to prove your citizenship to become registered. Pretty simple. Now, President Trump wants to add some other very popular piece of legislation. No biological males and female sports, no mutilation of children on the altar of transgenderism, certain reasonable restrictions on mail in ballots. And of course, they're going to have to be reasonable because I vote absentee. I'm here in D.C. on the election day. So, again, the way we should do this, though, is the way the Senate ought to work, but literally hasn't worked for the 15 years I've been here. You put a piece of legislation on the floor, and then you allow the amendment process to hone that piece of legislation to improve it. And one of the ways you can improve it is by getting more support of it. So when I listen to Senator Schumer saying, well, we're for reasonable voter id. Okay, what do you mean by that? If you really think that Senator Lee is making it more difficult to vote, he's not. Is there something we can do to clarify the legislation so you can support it? I mean, you say you support reasonable voter id, reasonable voter integrity. What does that mean? So actually use this floor time, this debate, this amendment process, to craft a piece of legislation that would make it very difficult for Democrats to vote against. That ought to be the process. That ought to be our goal.

[C]

Very smart.

[A]

Senator, a lot of the conversations we have with you would be very different if Leader Thune supported nuking the filibuster. He says that he doesn't want to do that because Democrats will then abuse it, but aren't. If Democrats get in control, they're just going to abuse it anyway. They're going to do away with it and have their way.

[E]

Well, that's really the division in our conference. We all realize the filibuster has prevented us from being a socialist nation for decades otherwise. And we were able to block, because we're generally the minority, awful pieces of liberal, leftist Democrat legislation. So we all get that. But those of us who believe that Democrats have told us what they want to do, right? I mean, they signed a letter back In, I think, 2017, led by Susan Collins, 31 of them said, oh, no, we respect the filibuster. We won't vote, OOVERTURN IT. About five years later, they voted to overturn it, to end the filibuster. The only reason they did at that point in time is they had Kirsten Sineman and Joe Manchin saying no. They purged those two people from the party. So I believe Democrats, next time they're in control, they got the power, they will end the filibuster. But I've got a lot of colleagues in my conference, again, realizing how valuable the filibuster has been at stopping bad legislation, who are hoping against all hope, Democrats won't do it. And that's really the split, which is why I'm proposing at the end of this process, if we don't pass this, if we don't get Democrat votes, and I doubt we will, let's have a vote on a rule change. Let's not vote to nuke it, but let's have a vote on the rule change. I would require 67 votes. Get Democrats on the record. You wanted to nuke the filibuster when you were in control. Are you willing to nuke it now with Republicans in control? That would be a very interesting, very informative vote. And it's the only way I can see, get him on the record of possibly dissuading a few of them not to nuke the filibuster once they're in control.

[C]

Senator, Senator Mark Wayne Mullen was being going through his confirmation hearing today. Your thoughts? Is he the right guy for the Homeland Security Department at this moment?

[E]

I thought he really came under attack. I thought he handled himself very well. I gave him the opportunity to just show the human side of himself. And quite honestly, President Trump, he told a great story of all the bipartisan work he did. For example, Josh Gottheimer, a Democrat member of the House, but he told a great story about how President Trump, not in front of the cameras, but genuinely, humanly so concerned about his son who had a grievous injury, talked to him almost daily, weekly, bent over backwards. It was a very heartwarming moment. So, again, actually, a Democrat senator thanked me for asking him to tell that story. So hopefully Democrats open up their hearts, realize he's a smart guy, he's a very capable guy. He has the trust and ear of President Trump, which is important. I mean, that's Secretary. It's nice to have the confidence, the trust and support of the president. United States. And Mark Wayne Mellon certainly has it.

[C]

Yeah, great point. Senator, as always, always an honor to have you on the show. Always get a good fount of wisdom when we have you on. Thanks for joining us and redeemed. Yeah, thank you, sir. All right, folks, quick commercial break. When we come back, we're going to stay in the Senate. Senator Marshall Blackburn, the great state of Tennessee will be here next. Have a good conversation about Save America act, those Chinese revelations and a whole lot more right after these messages. Hey, America. The FBI has been warning about a type of real estate fraud on the rise called home title theft. And your equity is the target. Here's how it works. Criminals forge your signature on a single document, use a fake notary stamp and file it with the county. And just like that, boom. They're on record as owning your home using your ownership. They then take out loans against your equity or even sell your property. And you're not going to know about it until you get a foreclosure or collection notice in the mail. And that's not going to be a good moment. That's why I partnered with Home Title Lock so you can protect your equity.

Heading into the second month of the DHS funding fight, TSA agents continue to work without pay. To no surprise, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is accusing Republicans of using federal agents as hostages, but refuses to acknowledge Democrats role in this entire shutdown. So as negotiations continue, what is likely the outcome? And amid all of this, how can we actually stop the problem of illegal alien crime? Our next guest actually has a very good solution. Joining us now to discuss this and more is US Senator from the Volunteer State of Tennessee, Marsha Blackburn. Senator, thanks for being with us.

[D]

Good to be with you. Thank you.

[A]

Absolutely. So we are hearing four hours in Houston, four and a half hours in Austin, down in Orlando. It's bad, but it's kind of always bad there. What is the remedy and why won't Democrats pass up to the fact that this is really their shutdown?

[D]

Yes, indeed it is in the American people are blaming the Democrats for this one. And here's the reason why. The Democrats have done this not once or twice but three times now. Shutting down the TSA and having these workers go without paychecks because they've defunded DHS three times now. It is important to note that the Democrats continue to say, well, we want to defund ICE. And there are issues with ICE, but ICE is funded through 2029. But the Democrats made a promise to their radical left base that they would defund federal law enforcement, that they would abolish ICE and they would to open border policies. So what are they doing? They are making a stink over DHS funding, which by the way, 35% of the DHS budget is FEMA. And then you also have workers not only for FEMA but for tsa, for Secret Service, for homeland security investigations. You know, the people that go out and nab these drug dealers and sex traffickers and these are the people that are not getting paid. ICE is paid through 2029. We took care of that in the big beautiful bill. So The Democrats have picked the wrong fight. And what they are doing is using not only the American people, but TSA workers, FEMA workers, Secret Service as pawns in their scheme, trying to defund federal law enforcement and trying to abolish ice.

[C]

We learned over the weekend here at Just the news that more than 300 TSA workers have already quit because they simply just can't afford to live without a paycheck. That's not a system that already has a lot of duress because we travel a lot and the system keeps getting busier. How much risk is there right now in the system given that we have unpaid workers who are equating and a high threat environment.

[D]

We are in a high threat environment and the HSI and the different investigators that are looking at these attacks. We've had four terrorist related attacks in the past couple of weeks on US Soil. And whether you're talking about Virginia or Michigan or what has transpired in Texas, this is something that is a high threat environment. And to not be funding the investigations, to not be funding personal protection, which is the Secret Service, this is a very dangerous game that the Democrats are plaguing right now.

[A]

Senator, speaking of safety, last year at the White House, I know you were there and you saw this, the entire north lawn driveway was lined with these posters in the ground of illegal immigrant south with their crimes listed beneath their picture. And it was nauseating. I mean, crimes against children, rape, homicide, the list goes on and on. It shouldn't be up to us in the media to take a video along that driveway for people to actually notice that there is this much illegal immigrant crime. I know you've got an idea for making sure that this is more exposed. Tell us about it.

[D]

Yes, indeed. We want to make certain that people realize we what is going on. And there are several bills that are moving right now. One, the Fraud Accountability act, to any kind of fraud that you commit. Absolutely. That would be a deportable offense. And Amanda, this is one of the things we need to keep in mind. When they're committing these crimes and these violent crimes, these need to revoke that naturalization status that they have in it, needs to move them to deportation. If they are here on a visa, if they are here as a legal permanent resident, then this should trigger that deportation. Now one of the things we're doing is allowing any federal court to hear these cases so somebody doesn't sit in jail or either on house arrest for years on end or waiting to get to an immigration court. If you allow any federal court to hear These cases, then we'll be able to detain, prosecute and then deport these individuals that are committing these crimes.

[C]

So very important. So now we'll talk about the SAVE Act. Where are we in that debate? Can we get Democrats to cross over and join Republicans in the revelations we've had in the last couple days that the CIA and the Intelligence Committee knew that China had gained access to some states voter registration database, something that alarmed Great Britain when it happened there. Didn't have a peep of it here. Does that have any impact on the debate?

[D]

One would hope that it does. I mean this is common sense. Overwhelmingly supported by the American people. 83% of the American people, including 71% of Democrats support the Save America Act. It is common sense. If you're going to register to vote, you really ought to be a citizen. And if you are going to show up at the poll to vote, take an ID so that you show who you are, get that ID out of your pocket and prove that you are who you claim to be. That's a very simple ask. And people overwhelmingly support this. So we continue to try to move Democrats our way. As I said, 71% of the Democrats support this. It is only here in Washington D.C. that you have Democrats who do not think this is a good idea. Democrats all across the country, independents all across the country, Republicans all across the country support voter identification and only allowing citizens to vote in U.S. elections.

[A]

Well, and considering how favorable this is with all Americans, but As you said, 71% of Democrats, will there be a come up for Democrats in November if they don't pass this, knowing how popular it is?

[D]

I think there will be because the American people say of course, you know, we show an id, you go to pick up tickets, you go to the doctor, you, you go to your child's school, you are always showing an id. You go to order a drink at a restaurant, you show an id. People are accustomed to doing this and they know to have that ID with them and for this to be the one area where you cannot show an ID and it's a really bad thing to show an ID. It makes no sense to people. That's why 71% of Democrats, 80 something percent of independents and 90 something percent of Republicans all support the, the Save America Act.

[C]

Senator, before we let you go, do you think there's a deal that can be made? Is there enough Democrats, a handful, six of them that could cross over? Can you get all the Republicans with if the legislation's adapted a little bit?

[D]

We're working every day to make certain that we get the votes that are necessary for this. There is no reason. I did a telephone town hall last night, John, and someone on the telephone town hall said, can anybody please explain to me why the Democrats would oppose this? Because it is just plain common sense.

[A]

It is a head scratcher that it is indeed. Senator Marsha Blackburn from the great state of Tennessee, thank you for being with us tonight.

[C]

Sure.

[A]

Yes. All right, everybody. We've got much more coming up after this commercial break, so don't go anywhere.

[E]

Hey, America.

[C]

I used to think a mattress was just furniture until I got my Ghostbed. Because Ghostbed doesn't build mattresses like furniture. They build engineer 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 my 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. Well, guess what? That's not aging. That could be your mattress talking. 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 price of the year, plus an extra 10% off.

I need to be healthy every day to survive it and go through the next chemo round and the next chemo round. So it's important that work was part of that to keep my mind busy for eight, nine hours. And then I had to go back and face the reality. I had a goal and the goal is to survive.

Welcome back, America. We're very lucky to be joined by the chairman of the President's Intelligence Advisory Board. He's been on the show many times. He's also the CEO of the Trump Media and Technology Group and the former chairman of the House intelligence committee from 2015 to 2019 when he helped unravel the fake Russia collusion scandal. Joining us now, former Congressman Devin Nunes. Sir, good to have you back on the show.

[B]

Great to be with you, John. And Amanda, as always, it's Always a pleasure to be on and I should commend you, John. Obviously we were in Congress at the time, we did a lot of heavy lifting. But there were very few reporters who would actually do the digging and get to the bottom of it. And I know you were ridiculed for it, you were attacked for it. And so it's a honor to call you a friend. And I would also say that you're one of the few real journalists left in Washington.

[C]

Sir, a lot has happened in the Intelligence Committee the last few weeks. First we had the CIA Director John Radcliffe rescind 19 intelligence analysis is that were inaccurate or didn't meet the standards of the intelligence community that were infected by political bias. And now in the last 48 hours here at Just the News, we've revealed that the intelligence community knew that China knew as early as spring of 2020 that that China had act in hacked into the voter databases of Americans just like they had done in Great Britain when that big scandal occurred. But here our Intelligence committee didn't tell us, they didn't notify key stakeholders and we basically were kept in the dark for the last six years. What are we to make of those revelations?

[B]

So John, let me try to unpack this. What I would first say is we ran a decade long investigation in the Congress into China. And so this new bombshell that you just dropped is very concerning to me and it should be to the Congress even today that this information likely was around in 2019, probably in 2020. I don't know. We're going to have to, we're going to have to unpack this and figure out why this didn't get to the Congress and why this didn't get out to the American public. Clearly this is a scandal that's brewing and I'm sure you're going to continue to track it. I should also say you mentioned Director Ratcliffe. As you know, I chair the President's Intelligence Board. We've been working directly with the CIA to depoliticize all of these agencies. The President Trump gave us clear direction that he wants the politicization taken out of these intelligence products. And it's been, you know, a slow slog. We've been working to get this information declassified. We've been working to, you know, with the different agencies to make sure that there's transparency. And I do commend the CIA under Director Ratcliffe's leadership for retracting those 19 phony reports. And I actually think there's probably many more that that are there. But I Think this is just the start of Director Ratcliffe is trying to clean up the CIA. Obviously, we're here to help. We're held here to help all of the agencies as chair of the President's Intelligence Board, and we'll continue to do that. This just the kind of the final point on, on China and their capabilities here. I think we should all, you know, be very concerned that China is continuing to leapfrog. And if you don't have the, if you want to call it the truth, transparency, real intelligence agencies getting the information to the policymakers and the decision makers, it's a major problem. So if you have a bunch of intelligence, it doesn't matter how great you are at gathering intelligence. And I happen to think that our military and intelligence in the United States are very good still. But it doesn't do any good if that information never makes it to the people that actually have to make a decision. And just to kind of go back to what I was saying, we ran this China investigation for a decade, and this is clearly information that should have come to us immediately back in Congress, back when I was in Congress. So now the President's Intelligence Board, we're working with anyone and everyone that wants to have transparency and wants to have accountability. We're there to help aid in that process.

[A]

Sir. Not that Britain is a model for much of anything these days, but as John alluded to in this headline, they at least saw the gravity of what it meant for their country when their voter data was hacked. Our intelligence community has this, or had, I guess I should say, in the past, had this air of insouciance and they either they didn't care or they did care and they knew, but they didn't care about the implications because politically they felt like it would help them. Which is it?

[B]

Well, this is the concern in John's early reporting here that I have, you know, I have only heard this from just the news. I haven't yet got any briefings on this, but I'm assuming next time I'm in Washington that we will get up to speed on this. So we need to really understand and unpack. What did they actually get? What did they take, what was in there, what was the data that was in there, and then who hit it? Right. And I think this is going to be not only from kind of our perch and with our direction from the President to depoliticize, but I think the agencies themselves will need to do their own investigation and also get that information to Congress. I think there's still some great Members of Congress out there, if you take Chairman Crawford, that has my old job on the House Intelligence Committee, or of course, Chairman Grassley, who has a long record of working with whistleblowers, that's where this really needs to get to that point. And then at some point, people have to be prosecuted or fired or demoted or forced into early retirement. Something has to start happening with all of this malfeasance that's going on. Which is why, just going back to the prior question about John Ratcliffe, the CIA Director, retracting these 19 reports, now the question is, are there going to be changes made at the agency, which I know that Director Ratcliffe is continuing to work on.

[A]

Sir.

[C]

Four years ago, with not much of us ever noticing or getting alerted to it, the intelligence community had a ombudsman who raised very serious concerns that during the last Trump administration, the CIA and its intelligence components did not fully give the President information on China specifically related to its influence operations and its possible access to voter data. And they did so because, according to the ombudsman, they were politically biased. They didn't like the President, they didn't like the President's policies, and therefore they didn't want to give him ammunition to take action against China, essentially putting political views above their country. How serious an allegation is that by somebody whose job it is to police that activity?

[B]

You know, the first thing that comes to my mind, John, is if you think back to that time period, you had a, almost correlated parallel efforts at that time. And I don't know that they were working together or not, but it was really in that same time frame. So if you remember, this is that time that the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Millie, I believe, I believe this was in 2020. Remember he did that weird thing where he picked up the phone and called somebody over in China that said, you know, don't listen to President Trump. And I'm just wondering if this is a, if these are related or not. But I think, you know, we need to look at what this ombudsman had to say. The committees everybody need to do, you know, needs to kind of take a, you know, get all the facts first, follow those facts, but then make sure people are held accountable. And I would just look at whether or not these are related because the timing is quite similar where you probably had multiple agencies coordinating together to not give the President information.

[C]

Just mind boggling.

[A]

I want to take you back to a moment after the 2020 election where the first ever director of CISA, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. Chris Krebs declared very audaciously that that election was the most secure in history. Would we. Would he have been part of the intelligence community who might have had this information?

[B]

You know, or he should have, at least. And I thought that was ridiculous at the time because, you know, you can't really go out and do assessments until months afterwards. Once you're gathering all the intelligence, checking how the votes went, and the fact that somebody came out quickly and said, oh, there's nothing to see here, when clearly there are, there were a lot of question marks that, you know, half of the American public still to this day doesn't believe that this was a free and fair election in 2020. And the more that time goes by, you know, the more that you're starting to see some of this. So I really question was that politically motivated at the time to quickly say, oh, there's nothing to see here, when clearly it doesn't make any. You just can't go and make those statements. As you know, now we're all the way up to 2026 now, but the technology is only getting better. The capabilities of our adversaries are only getting better. And they were really good in 2020, and there were a lot of vulnerabilities that we knew about in 2020. And I'm not talking about in voting. I just mean across the board. Chinese, Russians, Iranians, continually. I think every time there was a briefing to Congress in the open threats hearing, these threats were talked about in the open public, that these capabilities existed. So to go and quickly make a point, you kind of add all these things up of the CIA hiding stuff. You have the sister guy saying what he said at the time. You have Milley doing what, what, what. What he did with the Chinese at the time. You know, it sure just makes me, you know, think that a lot of this is probably coordinated.

[C]

Sir, you'll be using the app to look at some of these issues and just come to some resolution, just from an oversight perspective, right?

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

I mean, look, in the Intelligence Board, you know, we are helping all the. All the different agencies out, right? Trying to help get things declassified, get them to the places that they need to go, you know, solving problems in the short run where there's disagreements on intelligence. These are the things that the President's Intelligence Board does on a daily basis. And, you know, we'll continue to do that with. We have a great team that works well with all the different agencies. And we're just, you know, just every day we, you know, team gets up and, and does their job and then they have, you know, guys like me, you know, figureheads that, you know, have some experience and try to try to give guidance where applicable. But of course, I have great relationships with all of the directors across the intelligence agencies and we try to leverage those connections to try to carry out the President's mission, which is very simple. Depoliticize intelligence.

[C]

Yeah, well, you did so much of that. Asshouse Intelligence Committee chairman now at it's, it's a welcome move for our, all of our agencies. Devin, great to have you on the show today. Thanks for joining us.

[B]

My pleasure. Great to be with you guys as always.

place for healing, learn more and sign the pledge at Working with Cancer pledge dot com. Welcome back everybody. To just the news, no noise. While the President continues his military campaign against Iran and lawmakers negotiate to fund dhs, another pressing issue affecting all Americans is taking center stage. And that is, of course, health care. As the cost of health care continues to rise, let's cut through the noise and take a look at alternative options to the current Medicare system. Joining us to discuss this and more is Vice president of the Medicare Advisory Service at amac, Carl Hoesfield. Carl, great to have you.

[F]

Amanda. Thank you, John, thank you.

[A]

We love having you. And you know, outside of the big, big issue, which is solvency with Medicare, the other biggest issue is confusion. There are so many different plans, so many different routes that people can take. Talk to us about getting through that confusion.

[E]

Sure, sure.

[F]

I think one of the biggest issues Medicare beneficiaries have is there are so many plan options. There's coverage choices depending on where you live, the county you're in. There's network choices. Doctors come and go and I think that makes it difficult. And Medicare beneficiaries worry about having a trusted advocate by their side to walk through that process and make that choice.

[C]

So this year there were some changes in Medicare made by the Trump administration, some prices lowered, some new caps on personal expenditures put in place. Do our seniors know all about that? Is that one of the challenges here, having them take advantage of these new changes?

[F]

Yeah, yeah. So we highly encourage our own members and non members, to be honest with you, to call AMAC and use our Medicare services. We built this program for AMAC members to take advantage of. It's free to them, anyone can use it. And we have trusted, licensed advisors. We really approach it from an education first standpoint. Right. We're not looking at this as a one time transaction. We're looking for a long term relationship here with a Medicare beneficiary because changes happen all the time. We have a lot of news, a lot of education through our newsletters, through our website, and we're able to educate our customers and they don't have to know all that. They use us. Right. Call us, email us, speak to us about all the changes that are happening on a regular basis. And we highly encourage our members to do that at least once a year, even more than that. And we're very proud of the service we provide to our members. You know, we're not looking to be salespeople here. We're looking to be educators and help people enroll into the plan that's suitable for them.

[A]

Yeah, Carl, there are a lot of folks out there who when they Turn the age to take advantage of Medicare. They are intrepid. They want to do it on their own. But I have always heard that it's best to have some type of roadmap ahead of you provided by someone like amac. So for those folks out there who want to have a little bit more of an idea of what they're buying into, what, what does your program provide?

[F]

Sure, sure. Let's, let's, let's talk about some key differences. First of all, we have options for people.

[E]

Right?

[F]

There are a lot of plan options. Company like AARP can typically offer one option or one carrier. Their relationship with UnitedHealthcare. Right. AMAC has many options. So we can tailor and do a full needs analysis and tailor solutions for our members. That's what makes it unique. And we're not incentivized to steer anyone into one plan or another, one insurance company or another one plan. We're simply there to listen to our member understand their needs, understand their budget, their wants, their hopes, their expectations for the future. They don't have a crystal ball, but we're there to look for all the options and solutions so that in the end we're more concerned with our member making a confident, educated choice, not just a choice, and then hope everything works out. We want them to put their head on their pillow at night and say, I know I made the right choice. And I have an advocate Namec there if I have questions in the future.

[C]

And that personalization is such a very important part of this. A lot of people in the make America healthy era of America right now are taking drugs like Ozempic that can help you lose weight, but there are some catches to it. Give us a little bit of education on that, particularly if you're a Medicare recipient.

[B]

Yeah.

[F]

So drug coverage comes from Part D of Medicare, which is your prescription drug coverage. And all drug plans are different. And so we highly encourage everyone to check their summary of benefits. Different drugs in the prescription drug plan market, or also known as Part D, can have different drug restrictions based on the insurance company you're with, things like quantity limits, things like prior authorization, and it's important that our customers are educated on that. You would want to work with your agent to understand what your drug restrictions are, look at your specific plan, and then those questions could be asked. An AMAC advocate can help you decide and determine what type of CO pays might be involved in that. CO insurances might be involved in a particular drug that you're taking.

[C]

Yeah, that's important stuff. Really important. Yeah.

[A]

We have started to learn the effects on our bodies of processed foods. And it feels like, especially for my generation, for millennials, we were raised on processed foods because of the convenience. It was just what so many of us ate. But now we, Obviously with the MAHA movement and RFK Jr. At HHS, we are learning how bad those effects can be. And I'm sure it's affecting folks at, who are, who are applying for Medicare.

[F]

Absolutely. I mean, look, our seniors, especially those aging into Medicare right now, just like you said, Amanda, are very much that demographic that, that grew up with processed foods. Right. Well, now we have more education, we know more, and it allows us to make proper choices. Especially, you know, most of us as we age don't get healthier. Right. But there are measures that can be taken for us to prolong and really change our habits and our lifestyle over time. Choosing the right Medicare is a big Medicare plan is a big part of that.

[C]

Right.

[F]

Because a lot of people are living in retirement longer than they ever have, which means they're accessing health benefits longer than they ever have previously. They're on Medicare longer than ever. So choosing the right plan, constantly evaluating, does this plan provide me with the services that I need so that I can live a longer, healthier lifestyle? And then taking advantage of AMAC's wellness education, understanding, if you don't already understanding, what types of foods I should be eating as I age, what type of foods I should be avoiding as I age, these are all things that AMAC can assist with, educate people on. And it all goes hand in hand with the drugs you're taking, the drugs you shouldn't take, your prescription drug plan you're on through Medicare, what you're paying out of pocket costs. All that comes together in an overall holistic approach to how people are going to live their retirement years and their golden years in their life.

[A]

I love it. We want those golden years to be as healthy as possible. Vice president of the Medicare Advisory Service at amat, Carl Hosefield. Thanks so much for joining. Joining us.

[C]

Absolutely. And to our viewers, make sure you go to AMAC US Smart S M A R T or call 800-901-8893. We'll be right back.

place for healing, learn more and sign the pledge at Working with Cancer pledge dot com. Welcome back, everybody. Today up on Capitol Hill, lots of fireworks both for the Save America act and debate that's taking place for that. But also with Senator Mark Wayne Mullen, President Trump's next pick for dhs. Secretary John I know there were a lot of fire folks who were concerned about Mullen's appointment because they thought, well, he's kind of a rhino. But he has the relationship with the president.

[C]

He does.

[A]

And he has the confidence of the president. That's the most important thing. And I think he did well today.

[C]

Yeah. Even when Rand Paul tried to get under his skin, he just held his ground, but in a polite way. Yeah, listen, he has a different vision for homeland security than Kristi Noem did. Less drama, but the same sort of action. And I think that conveyed well during the hearing. Meanwhile, in the intelligence community hearing, I think you got a sense today implicitly that Tulsa Gabbard isn't on board with the Iran operations. It was a very uneven performance. And then you have the second issue of concerns about leaking and other things going on. Karen Levitt, I think, had some comments for the podium today, didn't she?

[A]

She did. We've got a clip of it. Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence, will be testifying this morning. Does the president still have full confidence in her? He does, yes. And we look forward to watching the director's hearings today. And I think that anyone who has been suspected of leaking or is proven to be a leaker will not be welcome in this administration. I know that for a fact because I've heard the President say it myself. There are investigations underway into leakers in this administration and people will be held accountable for that. It's unacceptable and it cannot be tolerated. Well, and on that same note, John, Joe Kent, who worked under DNI Gabbard when it came to terrorism, he stepped down yesterday, shock waves through Washington and put out a pretty aggressive statement regarding his views of terror, the Iran war. And the press secretary had something to say about that as well. This was an individual who was not involved in any of the discussions pre operation and throughout this operation. I think the President views it as deeply unfortunate that this individual who the President gave the privilege of working for the administration, put out this resignation on government letterhead with many falsehoods throughout the essentially accusing the President of being manipulated by foreign governments. That's laughable and it's insulting. So I have one question and one point for you. The first question I have, because you've been doing this a long time, what type of, what level of security clearance would Joe Kent have had to know that there was no threat? And number two, I know you spoke to someone on your podcast today who had a very differing view of what the threat level was.

[C]

Oh, yeah. Well, first, as director of the Counterterrorism center, he, he would have a lot of access. He'd have the highest, one of the highest levels of access. I think what is a threat depends on how one looks at it. If you think that we know a plot that's going to occur in the next 12 hours from Iran is your standard. Well, of course, we almost never get alerted to a plot 12 hours before. But if your standard is what were they trying to do in the last three months before the President made this decision? We have a good story tomorrow. There's a lot of open sources. It does not get talked about in the media. Iran was trying to buy hypersonic missiles from China. Confirmed Iran was did buy Stinger shoulder light missiles that can be fired at planes. Confirmed Iran had four, three IRGC members on us. So we threw them out in January. Didn't get a lot of attention. The IRGC doesn't come here for vacation. They come here to do really heinous things. Then last week we had a man convicted of trying to assassinate the President. He said, I, I worked directly with Iran. They sent me here to do it. He was a Pakistani guy. Those seem like clear present dangers, clear imminent dangers that Iran was moving to something in particular, the escalation of the missiles. That's what drove the president's decision. Joe Kent doesn't cover that, nor does the media. That's the bad part about it.

[A]

Well, and not only that, but they also tried to kill our president. And now we are seeing retribution in the form of sleeper cells happening throughout the country. So a lot of that, a lot of that feeds into this. All right, everybody, that's all the time we have for this evening. But we will be back here tomorrow night at the same time, same place, 6pm Eastern, right here on Real America's Place.
