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, Washington, D.C. where it's been a very busy day. Lots of things, including the US Navy sinking a large Iranian ship with an old fashioned torpedo. Yeah, World War II style about that. In addition, the legendary Notre Dame football coach Lou Holtz passes away at the age of 89, friend of Trump, friend of many college players and a national champion and an iconic figure in American sports. But today, I'm going to take a risky venture into culture. Yes, this is dangerous. I usually defer to my much more cultural littered partner here, Amanda. But I'm going to try to go and take because I want to put into perspective something that happened in the House Oversight Committee today because it was a spectacle to watch. Back in the 1990s, there was a movie called Clueless. It had a young actress named Alicia Silverstone, I believe it was, and she played this young, sort of naive, I guess clueless was the reason they use the word for that young woman who started matchmaking and all these sort of unintended consequences occurred. Well, today Governor Tim Waltz of Minnesota seemed to play the lead role in a new movie of coolness. Yeah, 2026 version, political version. He was a matchmaker. He and his Democratic Party brought lots of those Somali immigrants to Minnesota. They lured them there because they're sanctuary state, sanctuary cities. And they had the allure of a big financial draw, lots of welfare, unlimited welfare. Get what you want, come and get it. And then the unintended consequences began to happen, just like in the movie. Massive fraud. Now about $18 billion of estimated fraud. And when Tim Waltz was questioned today, how'd that happen on your watch? Well, he was pretty clueless. Over and over and over again. He could not describe why the state didn't prosecute people on them, why they deferred to the federal government, why nine state workers who were interviewed by Chairman James Comer and his staff said that he knew and the attorney general knew, Keith Ellison, but they really didn't do anything. They sat on their duff cluelessly while the American taxpayer, the unfortunate matched maker to those Somali immigrants, was fleeced for years and years, 2018 to 2025, over and over again. It was a really remarkable day and it's one that I think will have consequences in the fall election. Minnesota, in a few minutes, we're going to be joined by the chairman who presided over that extraordinary hearing who released that report and also made another burst of news today. Yep. He actually had his committee vote and they've subpoenaed now the attorney general, Pam Bondi, to appear before his committee to talk about why they so mishandled the release of the Epstein documents. And you know, what a spectacle that's been over the last year. I bet you Chairman Comer gets to the bottom of that question. And with that, I will stop any more cultural alliterations for the next year and defer to my much more culturally literate colleague, Amanda Head. Amanda, what else is on the much more culturally literate? Absolutely. Well, I mean, it's a low bar for me, so I'm sorry, but I defer.

A
That's the quote from that movie. Yes. Cher was the main character. Cher Horowitz. That was Alicia Silverstone. Yes. Along with Donald Faison and Brittany Murphy who passed away and Stacey Dash who came out and supported Trump. Paul Ruddy.
- [03:40]
B
I know that movie is, I know this. My wife made me watch it once. That's the reason.
- [03:43]
A
So good to our audience. Just go watch it. I grew up in the 90s in Italy.
- [03:47]
B
It's more modern.
- [03:48]
A
That's true. All right. Yes. I have some other news for our viewers tonight. As we've discussed before, Democrats and some Republicans have called out President Trump for his strikes on Iran, a few calling it unconstitutional. Other critics have pointed out that the attacks could leave the country open for another, possibly even worse regime to take control. But this latest campaign against Iran was never meant to be the same as the mission that we undertook in Iraq or Afghanistan. And we also are not choosing the leader, as President Trump has said many, many times, that is up to the people of Iran to have their freedom to choose their own leader and their own destiny. And here's writer and columnist Gerard Baker discussing why a weakened Iran may already represent a major strategic success success for the United States.
- [04:36]
C
The objective of the campaign is to do essentially, you know, what is to leave Iran, as you very kindly quoted in my column saying leaderless, besieged, isolated, because it is isolated. I mean, attacking all its all, all its neighbors. That is a much, much weak the United States and its allies. But most importantly, the United States is in a much stronger position with a weak, with an Iran that has been weakened after however long this campaign lasts than it was in the than the United States, than the position we were in a week or so ago. So, you know, yeah, regime change would be great. It's really, however, not a necessary condition for the success of this mission.
- [05:12]
A
And I couldn't put it any better. And as Chairman Crawford mentioned the other night on this very show, this is about ending a war, not starting a new one. Now, as tensions between the United States and Iran continue, the question arises, will President Trump send troops to the Middle East? But here is Press Secretary Caroline Levitt's response to that question.
- [05:31]
B
Could you tell us about the president's current thinking about ground troops and whether they could be used if they were
- [05:36]
D
to be sent into Iran, what would
- [05:38]
B
they be used for? What's the situation?
- [05:40]
E
Ms. Well, they're not part of the plan for this operation at this time, but I certainly will never take away military options on behalf of the president of the United States or the commander in chief, and he wisely does not do the same for himself. I know there's many leaders in the past who like to take options off of the table without having a full understanding of how things could develop. So again, it's not part of the current plan, but I'm not going to remove an option for the president that is on the table.
- [06:06]
A
Yeah. And listen, no one really knows what President Trump's next move is, and that's what makes him so effective. He keeps everyone either on their toes or on their heels. John and as Gerard Baker was pointing out a few moments ago in that clip, Iran geographically is not an island, but they have posed themselves against their regional neighbors. That has basically put them effectively in
- [06:26]
B
a theoretical attacking NATO today, Turkey, they've now brought NATO potentially into this conflict. So they're their own worst enemy, as the president has said many times. Someone else who keeps a lot of people on their toes in Washington is the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, James Comer. Over the last few weeks, he has had Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton before him in depositions, forced depositions, as they bowed to his will. Ultimately, he's been at the lead of the Epstein investigation. He was the guy who unraveled Hunter Biden and got the truth out for that, the IRS whistle whistleblowers. And of course, he has been all over the massive Democratic fraud scheme that has swept this country to the tune of billions of dollars of taxpayer monies fleeced. He joins us right now. Mr. Chairman, great to have you on the show today.
- [07:09]
F
Thanks for having me, John.
- [07:12]
B
All right. At the beginning of my little solo quay this morning, I kind of felt like I was watching a bad version of the movie Clueless because Tim Walsh seemed to be unaware of anything happening, couldn't even explain why his state worker thought they had told him about this and he didn't get on top of it. What's your biggest takeaway from the governor and from the Attorney General today?
- [07:30]
F
Well, he's going to play dumb, and, you know, he's pretty good at that. But at the end of the day, the problem he has is. Today's hearing was a culmination of two months worth of work by the Oversight Committee. We talked to 30 Minnesota state employees. We actually had. Sit down. Transcribed interviews where the whistleblower with nine of the state employees who, a majority of whom testified that not only did they warn Tim Waltz and Keith Ellison about the fraud, they were told to stand down by Keith Ellison and, and Tim Wall. So the governor and Attorney General of Minnesota knew about the fraud. They've known about the fraud for a long time and they don't care. And all you heard today was them complaining that President Trump had cut off some federal funding temporarily. The Democrats on the committee, they were crying because the Trump administration had cut off federal funding. I think every American taxpayer would call for their federal funding to be cut off until they fix this massive fraud problem they have, but they just want to act like they did, that it doesn't exist. And just because we have a little fraud, then that doesn't mean that they shouldn't be entitled to get even more welfare money. Those days are over under the Trump administration. I think our investigation proved that Walt and Olson both knew about the fraud. So hopefully, hopefully, the Trump administration will continue to cut off their federal welfare spigot and, and try to get some people put in jail for frauding for defrauding the government.
- [09:03]
B
Yeah.
- [09:04]
A
So important, Mr. Chairman, was there any provable retaliation against any of these whistleblowers by Ellison or Walls or anyone else?
- [09:12]
F
Well, a couple of the employees testified under oath in, in a, in a transcribed interview. If you lie in a transcrib, you're, you're lying to Congress. That's a felony. You committed perjury. They testified that they were retaliated against. Many testified that they were told to stand down. I mean, that's a form of, of retaliation. I mean, if you're a whistleblower and you're brave enough to come forward and say, look, there's massive amounts of fraud in the government, it's the responsibility of the state employee superiors to do something about it. But they didn't. And the, and the employees who were all predominantly Democrat, because I think most government employees, whether they be on the state level or federal level, that work in the welfare programs are just predominantly Democrat. That's a Fact, no matter what state, whether it's Kentucky or Minnesota. And they came forward because they were appalled that Waltz and Ellison would not do anything about the Friday. They knew it was because of political reasons. 100 political. They didn't want to offend the Somali population, which was a massive voting block for the Democrat.
- [10:19]
B
Yeah, there's no doubt about it. Tim Waltz really didn't take much responsibility, though he did acknowledge that the fraud occurred on his watch, which may have been as far as he got today. But the Democrats, you would think, would be a little worried, hey, how do we fix this? $18 billion in one state of fraud. 50% of all welfare services might have been a function of fraud. And instead they, all they want to talk about was immigration enforcement, even though that wasn't the subject of the hearing today. What do Americans take away from the Democratic Party's unwillingness to engage on what's really a serious issue? The taxpayer getting fleeced.
- [10:53]
F
Well, I hope the American people are watching this hearing what they should take away from the Democrat behaviors. They don't care about where the hard working taxpayer dollars are spent. They don't care. All they want is to keep money flowing. They want to keep their base happy. And their base are welfare recipients
- [11:12]
G
and
- [11:13]
F
people that are defrauding the government. These contractors they fix in these contracts, they have to be the many minority contractors and all of this. So not only was that you had a massive amount of Somali fraud in Minnesota, you had Somali contractors who were also participating in the food programs, who were taking advantage of the Medicaid programs, who were taking advantage of the housing programs, the food, the food stamp programs. Just about every government welfare program in Minnesota is predominantly federally funded. And every single one of them were being defrauded in Minnesota, which in fairness, most states have massive amounts of fraud in the social programs, especially states with Democrat governors. But this state in particular, with this particular Somali population was breathtaking. When you've got, when you've got over 80% of a demographic that is on full welfare benefits, full meaning they get Medicaid, which is free health care. They get food stamps, they get housing, they get transportation to and from their medical clinics. I mean, over and over and over they get light, they get programs to help heat their house and cool their house. They get, they get, you know, all sorts of grant this daycare. They get daycare. And this was, this was, you know, abused greatly in Minnesota. Everyone knew it. The employees blew the whistle. And yet Democrat Governor Waltz and Democrat Attorney General Walt Ellison played into politics and they didn't do anything about it. So Democrats don't care. Not a single Democrat on the Oversight Committee was, was outraged or concerned about the fraud. They don't care about the taxpayers, only the Republicans.
- [13:03]
A
When it comes to, I think Feeding Our Future is the organization or the program that really busted a lot of this wide open, but it's certainly not the only program. What is the current status of these programs? And will anyone who was a civilian, who was involved in those programs, will they ever see jail time or any type of punishment?
- [13:22]
F
Well, the purpose of the programs was to feed, you know, hungry children. And what we found was that, you know, the program was. Was grossly over billing. There was no humanly way possible. They were feeding, you know, as many meals as they were they were billing the government for. And at the end of the day, you know, what the purpose of our investigation was was to determine whether or not Tim Waltz and Keith Ellison knew whether or not they were warned about the fraud and whether or not they told the state employees to stand down and allow the fraud to continue. We concluded and we published that they did know. They did know about the fraud. They did tell the employees and the whistleblowers to stand down, and they did retaliate against some of the employees. Now, it's according to Attorney General Pam Bondi, who gives a lot of interviews, she says they're on the ground investigating specific fraudsters. The fraudsters we saw in those videos that went viral with the leering center and all of that stuff. That's where the Department of Justice, according to Bam Bondi, is investigating and trying to prosecute. We know there have been about 80 people prosecuted thus far, which I would argue is a drop in the bucket. So hopefully the Department of Justice is on the ground doing that. We're going to turn over our findings to the Department of Justice, and I hope to see a lot of people in prison. But I think that that just the revelation of this fraud in Minnesota ended Tim Waltz's political career. Remember, he was the running mate for Kamala Harris just a few months ago. And I think this. This fraud ended his political career. So that's a little bit of accountability, but we got a lot more to go.
- [15:04]
B
Sir, two quick questions for you. Do you expect to make criminal referrals from this? And two, what are we to make of this? The subpoena just approved for the Attorney General, Pam Bondi, who you just mentioned.
- [15:16]
F
Yeah, well, we want to look at what Pam Bondi and the Department of Justice is able to uncover. We there's communication that the, the Department of Justice in Minnesota has plenty of resources to be able to prosecute these people. We know they're bringing people in. You know, it takes, it takes longer than the average person realizes to put a case together and get in front of a judge and get a prosecution. It's my understanding they're doing that in at least dozens of cases in Minnesota as we speak. We're going to coordinate with them. We've given them the report today that shows Walt and them new. I don't know that it's a crime. Incompetence isn't a crime, unfortunately, or there wouldn't be many Democrats left in Washington. But at the end of the day, if, if some of these fraudsters implicate a coordination with, with Attorney General Ellison or Governor Waltz, then I think that, that you could see some referrals from, from the committee. But we're, we've done our work with the whistleblowers. We've saved the Department of Justice a lot of time. Have already doing those transcribed interviews. We're going to see how their prosecutions come and hopefully we can work together to get some, some more prosecutions.
- [16:36]
B
You have saved the Justice Department a lot of work on a lot of different investigations. Your work has been epic over the last four or five years. Sir, great honor to have you on the show. Tate was really entertaining watching that hearing today and waking up at 5 o' clock this morning and seeing that extraordinary report you put up. Good to have you on the show.
- [16:54]
F
Thanks for having me.
- [16:55]
B
Yeah. Thank you, sir. All right, folks, quick breaking news why we're sitting here. The Senate just blocked an effort to stop President Trump's Iran or Republicans held the line. Only one crossed over Rand Paul. That wasn't a surprise. A couple Democrats sided with the Republicans. But a big defeat for those who are trying to stop the president's Iran action. We're going to take a quick commercial break. When we come back, the congresswoman who elicited a historic ruling from the Supreme Court earlier this week on redistricting, Congresswoman Nicole Maliatakis next, right after the commercial break.
- [17:38]
A
Welcome back, everybody. In the last eight months or so, maps have been redrawn all over the country. And depending on whether you're a Democrat or a Republican, it's either redistricting or gerrymandering. But Democrats have tried to ice out that one Republican seat around Manhattan for a very long time. And it's because the woman who sits in that seat makes a major, major impact on Congress for the Republican Party. She is New York Congresswoman Nicole Maliatakis, and she is fresh off a win out of the Supreme Court to keep that seat. Congresswoman, congratulations.
- [18:09]
G
Thank you very much.
- [18:11]
A
I want to ask you, I know John mentioned this before we came to the, to the show. It seems like this might be the direction that the Supreme Court is going in. Is this a precedent win?
- [18:24]
G
I think so. Certainly what happened in my situation will have an impact, I believe, on other districts and other states. What happened was New York tried to racially gerrymander my district, and that is unconstitutional. And the Supreme Court was right to step in and stop it. And it was being done, obviously, by the Democrats in an attempt to steal this seat and silence the voices of the people of Staten island in southern Brooklyn. My district is the only competitive district in the city of New York. It was held by a Democrat, as a matter of fact. Democrats have a registration advantage that is double digits. But nonetheless, they can't win on policy. They can't win on merit. They can't win on debate. And so they had to stoop to try to tilt the scale by redrawing the line to ensure that a Democrat would only win going forward. But thankfully, we were able to push back and we were successful in winning this on the, on the federal level, getting a stay. And I believe the Democrats now will actually pull the lawsuit altogether. On the state level, I don't even think that they're going to move forward with trying to continue this because of what you've said. I think it could have actual national implications for them.
- [19:34]
B
So, Congresswoman, by the way, the argument in this was very brilliant. I've talked to lots of lawyers who said this one really hit the Supreme Court sweet spot. But there is a pending case right now, the Louisiana case, which will ultimately determine whether race can be used at all for any form of redistricting. It seems to me, particularly in the Gorsuch opinion, that that issue is addressed here pretty clearly. Maybe a signal of how Louisiana might occur later in the year.
- [19:58]
G
I agree. I think it'll be the outcome that Republicans are seeking when they get that decision that may not come down, maybe possibly June. That's what everyone's been saying. But at the end of the day, you know, I think this is. It's not just it was pretty setting, but it was also a significant pushback because the Democrats have tried to gerrymander my seat now three consecutive times, three consecutive reelections that I've had. I've always had a legal battle over the map. And in 2022, they went so far. And they tried to gerrymander this district so egregiously that actually we took it to court and ended up throwing the entire map of the state of New York out. And in subsequent to that, we had a independent special master appointed by the court draw the lines. And we ended up picking four seats that cycle. Republicans. So it showed you when we have fair maps, Republicans win. Then after that, the governor changed the makeup of the court and switched the judges a little bit, and then they tried again to redraw our maps. And at the end of the day, they decided. It was so much public outrage that they decided to keep the map generally as is. So these were maps that were signed into law by the governor and the Democrat legislature, and yet they wouldn't defend them in court. So we had to hire our own attorney. We went to battle, we won. And to their dismay, this could potentially, yes, change the course of redistricting throughout the entire country. This, coupled with Louisiana.
- [21:26]
A
Congresswoman, I just came back from the White House from that press briefing, and the press secretary was trying to reiterate over and over again how much this administration obviously doesn't want this conflict to endure, but we have no idea how long it's going to take. And therefore, at this time, funding for the Department of Homeland Security is absolutely critical. Democrats obviously holding that up. I know you've got some strong beliefs on it as well.
- [21:50]
G
Well, look, obviously someone comes from New York. I understand how important the Department of Homeland Security is. This was an agency that was created in the aftermath of the worst terrorist attack against our country, September 11, 2001, in which many of my constituents were killed. And Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer, also from New York, should also understand how critical funding DHS is. And I hope that they come to their senses. It's a shame that we're seeing memos go out by Hakeem Jeffries telling his membership to vote against Homeland Security at this critical time. You know, ICE is already fully funded. We're talking about border protection, we're talking about the Coast Guard, we're talking about counterterrorism programs and cybersecurity programs. It is so critical that this funding is passed as quickly as possible. We should not be playing games at all. And it's shameful that it's two New York Democrat leaders that are the ones leading the effort to stop Homeland Security funding from being enacted.
- [22:52]
B
It is remarkable and on the side of the greatest, worst terrorist attack in history, as you said. I want to talk a little bit about yesterday's briefing. Obviously an opportunity to hear about how the conflict is going, how much progress the United States military is making. Give us your top line. It seems as though we're running ahead, of course, of schedule according to the military leaders. How do you feel about the military's conduct of the war thus far?
- [23:20]
G
Look, there's no doubt that we have the greatest military in the world and the men and women who have taken this battle to their hands to get rid of the command in Iran, to get rid of the ayatollah. That is remarkable. And I think people are still shocked that this even happened over the weekend because it was done with such precision, just like we saw at the be done, effective and with precision when they dismantled, went in to attack the nuclear facility over the summer and as well when they took out Soleimani in Trump's first term. This was very well executed and obviously there's still a lot more work to be done, but they are ahead of schedule. As you mentioned. And as they've been saying in the timeline in the public briefings, I think it's remarkable what is happening here. This is going to change history, course of history for not just the Middle east, for the entire world. We will be in the long run much safer than we have been over the last decades where we've had these proxy terrorist organizations funded by Iran. Now, sadly, we are in a situation where the previous administration had helped enrich Iran further, giving them billions of dollars, getting rid of the maximum pressure campaign that President Trump had put in place. I think we would have been in a much easier spot today had it not been for that. But you're seeing also, I think, other ripple effects that will come as a result of this. You know, Communist China relies very heavily on Iranian oil. They relied very heavily on Venezuelan oil. They're not going to have that type of source moving forward. And it is because of the decisive and bold action of President Trump. I think first and foremost making sure they never have a nuclear weapon, intercontinental ballistic weapons, and also making sure that these proxy organizations are not being funded because they have killed Americans, they've hurt our allies and killed our allies. And this is this needed to be done.
- [25:27]
A
Congresswoman, I want to hit something that I think a lot of Americans now have a very clear vision on just how bad it is. This administration has taken a very firm stance on anti corruption. In California, we are seeing corruption within what I think is probably going to end up being convalescent and home health care. In Minnesota, it's obviously mostly child day cares and Leering centers. And in New York, it looks like it is Medicare and Medicaid. Dr. Oz has taken a look at it and it looks like each beneficiary gets about 36% more than the national average. Do you anticipate that the scale of what is revealed is going to be something on par with what we are seeing in Minnesota?
- [26:03]
G
New York's budget for Medicaid is $124 billion. It eats up the most of the budget in the state of New York, believe it or not. And unfortunately, they've allowed fraud and abuse to run rampant. And this is not just Republicans saying this. The Democrats have admitted to this. Our governor, our controller, our attorney general, you have seen them expose corruption, but they haven't taken action to actually get rid of it. And that is the problem. And when Republicans and President Trump said that we were gonna take action to get rid of that corruption, get rid of this fraud, hold individuals who are responsible for it accountable and protect the taxpayers, we were serious about that. And you're seeing this play out. And so if the Democrats who were claiming that there wasn't fraud, that we were actually gonna eliminate benefits from people who were deserving, which was, that was absolutely untrue what the Democrats were saying. They were lying to the American people. And I think the American people are seeing that play out right now as we expose what's going. Minnesota, California, New York, all Democrat run states who have allowed the taxpayers to be fleeced by fraudsters.
- [27:18]
A
Congresswoman, it is very clear why Democrats have tried so hard to get you out of your seat. You are a fighter and you are effective and we appreciate you being with us tonight.
- [27:26]
G
Well, thank you very much and I appreciate it and I love representing New York City. We need bipartisan representation in Washington.
- [27:33]
A
Absolutely, absolutely. New York Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis, thanks for being with us tonight. All right, everybody, we're going to take a very quick break, but we have much more for you coming up on the other side.
- [27:53]
B
Welcome back, America. I've been covering politics for about 38 years now, and it's a very rare moment when an incumbent Senator can't get 50% of the vote in his own primary. Especially after that senator spent $100 million trying to win. Let me say it, he spent $100 million trying to win that primary. We're talking about, of course, John Cornine last night. He underperformed, not surprising for the candidate he was facing against. That is Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who joins us right now. General Paxton, great to have you on the Show. Big night for you last night.
- [28:25]
H
Yes, it was. And by the way, I spent 5 million versus 100. And it's only. There have only been two U.S. senators that I know that lost a primary in the last 40 or so years because the finance rules are so rigged in favor of the incumbent and so limited for challengers. But it's, you know, I think Richard Luger lost and Bob Bennett lost to Mike Lee. So it's a pretty unusual thing to take on an incumbent and actually do well against them. And we're going to do really well in the runoff.
- [28:53]
B
So when you look at the vote, 60% of the people who voted last night voted against Cornine, though he's been in office for a long, long time, four decades. What do you make of that? What message does that send? And what message do you want to send to the Republican base? President Trump said he's going to make an endorsement. Whoever he does endorse should drop out. I have a funny feeling you don't drop out under any circumstance.
- [29:15]
H
No, I understand this race. I owe it to the people of Texas. I've spent a year of my life campaigning against John Cornyn because John has not represented the people of Texas well. He sided with Joe Biden on Second Amendment restrictions, sided with Joe Biden on bringing Afghan refugees to settle here without vetting them. But he's been against Trump in both of his elections, said he shouldn't run last time that his day had passed. And of course, he fought him on the border wall. He's been an amnesty guy. Everything that Trump stood for, John Cornyn's fought, but he was a big help to Joe Biden. The people of Texas, at least the Republicans, would like something different.
- [29:52]
A
General, in your tenure as Attorney General and all of the times that we've had you on our show, it seems like every time we have another court action or lawsuit from you to talk about because you have been so busy in fighting for Texans in that office. By contrast, even if you take polic out of it, Senator Cornyn, for a lot of Texans, they feel like he's never really done much for them.
- [30:13]
F
No.
- [30:14]
A
A lot of them can't even name a piece of major legislation that he sponsored or authored. If you make it to that Senate seat, are you going to operate in the Senate with as much fervor and activism and energy as you did as Attorney General?
- [30:27]
H
It's the main reason I'm running it. You're right about the 40 years in office. You can take them all the way back to when he Started when I was in College and I'm 63. I've asked every single person I've met with, from one person to thousands, and you name one major accomplishment of John CORYNN in those 40 plus years and they can't. No one's ever named it. I don't think it exists because I've asked thousands of people. No one's ever given me an answer. If you take any two weeks I've been in the attorney general's office, other than Chris Thanksgiving, I've accomplished more than two weeks and he's accomplished in 40 years. So I guarantee you it won't. The bar is low for accomplishments, for Joe, for John Cornyn and we will do much better.

I want to talk about some of the many actions you've taken just in the last few weeks you've been busy at the attorney general's office. One of those is alerting all mental health providers in Texas that they will be prosecuted or be violating the law. Excuse me. If they try to help transition children without their parents permission, that's a big strike. You get a lot of attention. Tell us what the Texans citizens think about that.
- [31:34]
H
Now look, we, there was legislation passed giving me the authority to go after hospitals and providers and we who try to transition children. So obviously that's horrifically bad. And we actually wrote the first opinion that kind of got that legislation off the ground. We said when you transition children it's child abuse. And I meant it. And so we are pursuing, we pursued hospitals, we forced hospitals to leave the state. We've got many hospitals to stop doing these transitioning procedures. And we've gone after medical providers now and said in this opinion that if you do this, you are violating Texas law and we are going to stop you.
- [32:13]
A
Well, and another legal opinion that you issued I think this week as well on election officials authority. This is something that is on a lot of people's minds as we have seen many problems plagued last elections. Talk to us about that one.
- [32:27]
H
Yeah, so we sometimes you find in some of these, especially Democratic counties, but sometimes, you know, other counties where election officials say things that are not correct about what poll watchers are allowed to do. Poll watchers are allowed to monitor everything. And many times these election administrators or election officials will try to keep poll watchers away from certain parts of the count or certain transit transitions. Ballots. And we just wanted to make it clear when we were asked that poll watchers have every authority to see every part of the transaction with the ballots to make sure that our elections are not fraudulent. That there's no fraud involved in these elections.
- [33:14]
B
So important on that front, I think you did something really big a few weeks ago that's gotten a lot of attention. You sued a group called Jolt Initiative. It's a far left group that goes after Latino voters, voters for allegedly registering non citizens that put them on the Texas rolls. That is a historic moment. First time a state attorney general has done something like that. But similarly, is there a criminal referral also coming to your to the Justice Department in Washington because they might be able to make criminal charges on the evidence you surfaced?
- [33:45]
H
We're definitely looking at that. We have, we don't have authority in my office to do criminal matters unless we're referred it on the state level for a district attorney, unfortunately. But if we find that there are criminal violations, federal criminal violations, we will definitely refer it to the Justice Department. Let them pursue it.
- [34:05]
A
General, before we let you know. Let you go, Congressman Wesley Hunt graciously conceded last night. What do you want to say to the folks who voted for him who are now looking at you versus John Cornyn?
- [34:16]
H
I say come aboard. The water is warm. We've got a lot that we can get done. People voted for Wesley Hunt. They were not voting for John Cornyn and they were voting for Wesley Hunt because they wanted to change. Well, I offered the same change and I offer a lot of experience in making those changes. And so give me a chance we can do better. And I would encourage those people to get back out and vote. Vote for change. Vote for someone who will actually represent your values and will actually get things done that matter for the country. And we definitely, as you can see, when you look at our budget deficit, the issues with China and Iran and all the issues that we have, we definitely need better representation in Texas.
- [34:59]
B
Sir, before I let you go, just real quickly, have you had a conversation with the president today? Do you have an idea where his head is on an endorsement? I know it won't matter. You're going to stay in. But what's your thinking on the president's endorsement?
- [35:10]
H
Yeah, look, I don't know. I haven't talked to him today since I saw that post. I didn't actually doing a lot of meetings to try to raise money for the next round. So I look forward to talking to him. I'd love to talk to him. I'd encourage him either not to endorse or if so endorse somebody that actually has been a supporter of his and not an opponent and somebody that actually would help him with his policies instead of fighting him because we know that after the primary is over, we'll get the real John Cornyn back. Right now we've got a fake John Cornyn who's acting like a MAGA conservative, but he never has in his 40 years until the last 10 months when I got into the race.
- [35:48]
B
Yeah. Attorney General Ken Paxton. You've always been authentic. You've always come on the show. We're so grateful to have you on on such a big day like today. Thanks for joining us.
- [35:57]
H
Thank you. Y' all have a great evening.
- [35:59]
B
Yeah, you as well, sir. Thanks so much. And some headlines there, folks. You heard him under no circumstances. 10 Paxton, the attorney general, Texas dropping out of the U.S. senate primary. That's some big headline. All right. We're going to take a quick commercial break. When we come back a minute. Who always brings headlines? Dr. Peter McCullough. He always gives us the best news on health. And he'll be here in a second to talk about a way you can detoxify your body of parasites, a growing issue in America. That next right after these messages. Hey, folks, would you believe me if I told you that high blood pressure is the number one risk factor for mortality? It's true. Half of adults, myself included, have it. And everyone knows someone in their life who deals with high blood pressure. And here's the dangerous part. It doesn't hurt.

Welcome back, everybody, to just the news. No noise as we step into a new season and begin our spring cleaning. It's Equally important to cleanse our bodies of any parasites, although this topic often doesn't get much attention from the medical community. So let's explore some effective and natural methods for detoxifying your body. Joining us now to discuss the that and some other issues surrounding health. He is a world renowned doctor and chief scientific officer at The Wellness Company, Dr. Peter McCullough. Doctor, welcome to the show. Thanks for being here.
- [38:08]
D
Thank you.
- [38:10]
A
All right. We were just chatting before we came to air about, you know, there are so many Americans who suffer from high blood pressure and they take ACE inhibitors, calcium channel blockers, beta blockers, which obviously can be helpful. They were invented to be helpful for this matter. But there are a lot of folks out there who are, especially since COVID are very leery of getting hooked on pharmaceuticals. Are there natural ways for people to lower their blood pressure?
- [38:35]
D
There certainly are. Losing weight, reducing salt in the diet, exercise, and then supplements like beetroot extract. And we feature that in the wellness company Healthy Heart. Those are reasonable things to do. Now, 65% of adult Americans do develop high blood pressure and ultimately take medications. The reason why we take medications, myself included, is to prevent heart failure and stroke. This is very important. Those are the two main outcomes from untreated hypertension. So if we get an early jump on this, I think we can actually have better blood pressure control over a longer period of time. Probably require fewer medicines, which is ideal. If, you know, if you have high blood pressure, you take one medication, it's not a big deal. If you're on three or four, it becomes a problem.
- [39:24]
B
Yeah, that's definitely true. I want to talk about, you've been our absolute horse whisper when it comes to understanding Covid. You had it right. Tony Fauci got it wrong. JAMA had a new study I think in the last few weeks that showed that long Covid is really dropping quickly. Tell us what that means and why. It's probably good news for all of us.
- [39:44]
D
Data appeared from Shah and colleagues in Jamaica indicating from 2022 to 2024 there's been a 30% drop in long Covid. Now two things happen during that period of time. We transition to a milder form of the virus. Number one, more people gained natural immunity. So fewer people are having de novo infections and of course fewer people were taking vaccines which further load the body with spike protein. So all of this is good news. The current estimate is where between 5 and 10% of people out there with with some type of pandemic syndrome, whether it be long Covid or the vaccines or both great need and continued need for the ultimate spike detox from the wellness company. One of the reasons why the syndromes may be decreasing in frequency is in fact, people do now understand the importance of how the spike protein is retained in the body after vaccination and infection, and how natural products like the ultimate spike detox, taken for a year or longer, actually extended use now for many is doing the job.
- [40:49]
A
Incredible. Dr. Markella, there is something else that a lot of people are walking around with, and we have no idea. I've seen some insane statistics lately regarding how many of us have parasites sitting in our body. The statistics are just absolutely appalling and disgusting. Talk to us about this. Is this really as widespread as some of these statistics suggest?
- [41:12]
D
It's contextual. But I can tell you, people who drink water from camping, where a common parasite infects water. I think about all of the troops and support people in the Middle east now, they're getting water from various sources. They're at risk for parasitic infections. Those who eat sushi. Anytime you go into a restaurant and you see on the menu it says, warning, eating undercooked or raw food may cause illness, they're talking about parasites. So at the wellness company, we combine ivermectin and benazole in a fixed combination. And you know, you see a doctor online and if it looks like you have a neglected parasite infection which is difficult to diagnose through stool testing, empiric treatment is very reasonable for it.
- [41:57]
A
Let me, let me just jump on that. I have seen a lot of people who are a little overly affectionate with their animals and they let them lick them in the face. Is it true that that can also bring more parasites?
- [42:08]
D
Yeah, so true. So in the dog's saliva and around the nose, there can actually be the egg of various forms of worms that the dogs get, particularly puppies. You know that puppy love, when the puppies licking your face, watch out, you can actually get a parasitic infection.
- [42:25]
B
Wow, that's something I did not know. That just changed my whole behavior tonight. How about that? Yeah. Doctor, before we let you go, you mentioned ivermectin in the context of the parasite cleanse and things like that. But it's also continuing to emerge as an interesting thing to study on cancer. There's a lot of optimism. Obviously, data still has to follow that optimism. But do you expect that the linkage between ivermectin and cancer treatment will grow over the next few years?
- [42:51]
D
It will. It's in more and more trials as an adjunct for various types of cancers. And, you know, in 2025, Time magazine on its cover had turbo cancer. You know, the question was, why are all these young people developing cancer? The doctors considered all these different factors, you know, microplastics and other things in the, but failed to consider the pandemic. And I think both SARS CoV2 infection and COVID19 vaccination will prove to be risk factors for cancer developing at an earlier age. More aggressive, what we call turbo cancer.
- [43:28]
A
Dr. McCullough, before we let you go, I know you've talked about this on our show many times, but I would love to have you reiterate this. The regimen that you have talked about with the gargling and the nose spray. Give our audience that again, because I think it's a great recommendation.
- [43:42]
D
Well, John just did it. He can tell you. But, you know, wellness company, we have immune defense, which you do a nasal spray twice a day. You know, two to four sprays up each nostril, sniff it back, spit it out, blow it out, and then the spray. Probably about three to five pumps as a, as a throat spray. I additionally gargle, I like, you know, over the counter gargle, Scope, Listerine, Sepulchol, Spra, they all do the job twice a day. And what you do is you knock down the virus so it doesn't take hold and then become a real infection. So you can actually abort incipient viral infections by regular, twice a day nasal sprays, throat sprays and gargles, because it doesn't.
- [44:24]
B
My family came back from a trip and they all had this bad respiratory thing and man, I was right next to them. I hit that spray twice a day. I did the nose twice a day. And I'm the only family member who didn't get it. It was really remarkable. I mean, I'm a blank believer. My whole family's a believer now.
- [44:37]
A
It's amazing because so many people think that you can get rid of this stuff or thwart it with, you know, medicine, but you can do it with mechanics. That's literally mechanics. That's getting rid of it. It's absolutely amazing. And we get that best advice from you. World renowned doctor and chief scientific officer at the wellness company, Dr. Peter McCullough. Always a pleasure to have you with us, sir.
- [44:56]
D
Thank you.
- [44:57]

Just news and use promo code. Just News to save 10% on your order. All right, everybody, one more commercial break and then we're going to be back on the other side. Welcome back, everybody, to our final segment of the show. I want to hit some of the election returns from last night, those primaries that took place in Texas and Arkansas and North Carolina, because, John, I want to get your take on this. There seemed to be a shot across the bow at least in some of these establishment Republican races. Dan Crenshaw, possibly John Cornyn. We don't know what's going to happen with that now that it's going to a runoff. But, yeah, Crenshaw's gone. Do you think that this sends a message to establishment Republicans, especially right now in the Senate, the ones who are trying to put blockades in the way of passing the Save America Act?
- [46:09]
B
Yeah, listen, I think there's this is a surly electorate. They like what President Trump's doing. They're not too impressed with anyone else right now. And I think that this could be a send the bums home sort of mood that we're in now. The economy, which is improving really significantly statistically now, we'll see what happens with the Iran war. If that derails a little bit, you know, that makes everybody feel a little bit better, maybe a little less early when you're done. But incumbents who have been excuse makers, encumbrance who promise and then don't deliver, them promise the next time, then don't deliver, then do it again, again, again, crossroads, repeat cycle. I think that they're in greater jeopardy. And you saw that in some of these things. I also think gap between what you promised to do and what you actually did is becoming a successful second piece of that. Maybe you're not an incumbent, but you just said something and you didn't do it or you're full of it. And I think people's radar detectors are up. Their BS detectors are way up right now. I think some of that's it's going to be interesting now that Wesley Hunt is out of the race, how Paxton fares one to one on there. When 60% of the people vote against a guy that's been in office for 40 years, it's not a good sign for the runoff election.
- [47:16]
A
Definitely not. And I think that Wesley Hunt's voters are more compatible with Ken Paxton.
- [47:22]
B
Yeah, I think the early polling or the polling last night showed like maybe 2 to 1 they break Paxton's if you can get it to the polls. Runoffs are hard to get, and people just vote like, I gotta go again next month. Right. So that doesn't always hold up, but there's a sign in there.
- [47:33]
A
Yes, absolutely. All right, guys, I actually want to Skip down to SOT4, Sunny Hostin from the View, because she made some pretty wild claims. Check it out.
- [47:42]
G
But people who pay taxes, you know, because just because you haven't become a citizen doesn't mean you're not not paying taxes.
- [47:50]
A
Actually, most undocumented immigrants pay more taxes than anyone. And we should also mention that less than. They're five times less likely to commit crimes than Americans. Well, actually, John, the Boston Globe did a study a few years ago who found. Whoop, my earring just fell out. That found that 30% of illegal immigrants commit crimes at four times than they originally thought than American citizens. And on top of that, illegal immigrants pay. There's a $24,000 cost for the average illegal immigrant household when it comes to social programs, you know, some type of Medicaid, education, welfare, things like that. And they only pay about $10,000 in taxes. So there's a $14,000 gulf there. So actually, Sunny Haas. And maybe read an article before you make claims like that.
- [48:44]
B
The View has never been known for being worried about facts. So I think that's a big one. Yeah, listen, on this issue, the more elitists double down on illegal immigration and all the other things that go on, the more they lose ground with their audiences. And that's why you're seeing some of these major television networks really bleeding. CBS is bleeding. You know, the nightly comedy shows are bleeding. People are tired of just, you know, being taken for stupid. By the way, you said something. I know I weighed in on culture tape, but you said something I'll never say on the show.
- [49:14]
A
What was that?
- [49:14]
B
My earring fell up.
- [49:15]
A
Oh, yeah, yeah, that's fair. That's fair.
- [49:19]
B
Yeah. So got it.
- [49:20]
A
Let's see. You know, speaking of the 90s. Speaking of the 90s, Claire's. Are they still around? Claire's had these little magnetic earring studs. We could get one of those for you and then you could say it if you so desireth.
- [49:32]
B
No, my father would have kicked my butt if I ever put an earring in.
- [49:35]
A
That is fair. Happen quickly. Before we go. Jasmine Crockett out of a job. Where did she go next?
- [49:39]
B
Probably to one of the. Well, cnn. I mean, they already gave her for. Why not put her there full time? And they can do that. Yeah, I think. I think she ends up on tv.
- [49:46]
A
Hey, maybe on the View.
- [49:47]
B
There you go. Mtg.
- [49:49]
A
Absolutely. All right, everybody, that's going to do it for us tonight, but we will be back here tomorrow night at 6pm Eastern. We hope you have a wonderful evening and head over to JustTheNews.com every morning and every minute thereafter for breaking news. Have a great one. See you tomorrow.
