John Solomon
Good evening, America. Happy Monday. Happy historic Monday. 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 here in Washington, D.C. today, all the news was overseas in the Middle East. Let's start with President Trump, who at this hour is now on his way back from this historic day in the Middle east, where he celebrated a deal he brokered that could reshape the entire region. We also saw hamas release all 20 living hostages as the president arrived to Israel and the Israeli government confirmed that all were in their custody. Now, that was reciprocated by Israel freeing nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners. The trip also saw President Trump travel to Israel first, and then to Egypt, where he participated in a peace summit with Middle Eastern and European leaders. Trying to move the ball forward today isn't just resting on your laurels and celebrating what's happened. It's about making sure the region will be fully transformed when this deal is done. During a stop in Israel, the president spoke in front of the Israeli Knesset to discuss the deal. He had some pretty poignant things to say. Take a watch.

President Donald Trump
The God who once dwelled among his people in this city still calls us, in the words of scripture, the turn from evil and do good to seek peace and pursue it. So he still whispers truth into the hills and knolls and valleys of his magnificent creation. And he still writes hope into the hearts of his children all over the world.
- [01:54]
John Solomon
Wow. And then right after that, he went to Egypt. The president celebrated the nations around the world were coming together, making clear that this deal was made possible by a coalition of the wilding. Take a watch.
- [02:06]
President Donald Trump
Today, for the first time anyone can remember, we have a once in a lifetime chance to put the old feuds and bitter hatreds behind us. And that's why so many people in this room, they didn't get along. Some did, some didn't, but they're getting along now. This has brought the people together. This is the first time the Middle east crisis has brought people together as opposed to driving them apart.
- [02:29]
John Solomon
Wow. Pretty amazing stuff and a lot of history to watch over the next few days. Also, some overtures to Iran and Russia today. If they want to get peace, now's the time to jump in. President Trump into. We'll have a lot on this all throughout the show tonight. Quickly turning our attention back here to the United States, where a legal watchdog that works for just the news is asking the US Office of Special Counsel to investigate whether federal agencies like the FBI, the CIA and the ODNI may have fraudulently concealed documents about the Steele dossier, which was a document that set in motion the now discredited Russia collusion probe. The Southeastern Legal foundation, which represented the Adjusted News in seeking out FOIA for these documents back in 2019, now has discovered that there was an effort by those agencies to keep responsive documents from not only just the news, but the American public. The Southeastern Legal foundation saying that they were deeply concerned that there was a conspiracy among agencies to thwart public knowledge of what's going on in that case. In other words, we could have learned a lot earlier that Russia collusion was falling apart. Another shame. We're going to follow that and we're hoping that this office of Special Counsel will soon announce an investigation into our concerns. Man, a good time to turn you turn things over to amazing day all around. Lots of news.
- [03:48]
Amanda House
Absolutely incredible. And I think it's surprising some of the reactions from people that you might not expect those types of reactions from. We're going to get to that a little bit later, but I'm going to start you ended in the states. So I'm going to start there with some more news on the government shutdown because all signs are pointing to it continuing for quite a while and it's on track. Could possibly become the longest shutdown in American history if Senate Democrats cannot come together and pass the House past continuing resolution. Now, speaker of the House made Mike Johnson made it very clear that he blames Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for the holdup.
- [04:21]
Mike Johnson
He explains why his consultants and his pollsters have told him he needs to show a fight to President Trump, even if it means hurting millions of American families. So that is exactly what Chuck Schumer is doing. He's determined that his own political survival is worth the irreversible harm he's inflicting on the American people. He's gambling with people's lives and livelihoods to appease the far left Marxist base of his party so that he can keep his job. And make no mistake, this is bigger than Chuck Schumer. Democrats are terrified of their radical Marxist space.
- [04:55]
Amanda House
Now, the current record for the longest government shutdown is 34 days. That occurred during President Trump's first term back in 2019. And we're currently on day 13 of this one. The next vote to end the shutdown is going to be taking place on Thursday. But judging by what we have been hearing so far and testing the temperature on the ground, do not hold your breath for the Democrats to drop their demands for health care funding, including, of course, illegal immigrant health care, which is something we've been talking about a lot. And before we get to our first guest of the evening tonight, I want to highlight one more thing about that historic piece, peace agreement in the Middle East. Today, President Trump is getting credit, as I said earlier, from many people across the globe, including world leaders, but he's actually getting some credit from a faction of people that you might not expect that would be the American media and even some former Obama cabinet members, like former Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta.
- [05:44]
Rebecca Grant
Take a look.
- [05:45]
John Solomon
This achievement, and it is a significant.
- [05:48]
Chad Bianco
Achievement, would not have happened without United States leadership.
- [05:53]
John Solomon
President Trump deserves a lot of credit.
- [05:55]
Chad Bianco
For bringing the parties together.
- [05:59]
Amanda House
Panetta has traditionally been a pretty straight shooter, so I'm not really that surprised that he had something positive to say about this. There were a lot of Democrats out there who couldn't cough it up.
- [06:06]
John Solomon
Yeah, no, you're exactly right. And just think, if Jack Smith had succeeded and succeeded, President Trump didn't get a chance to run or win, how the world might be today. It's really a remarkable moment. All right, we're very lucky to kick off the show tonight with someone who's been on the front lines of this shutdown, trying to get the people business done. He represents a great state of Florida. He's one of our good friends, Congressman Jimmy Petronis. Congressman, great to have you on the show, sir.
- [06:31]
Congressman Jimmy Patronis
Hey, John. Hey, Amanda. Thank you for having me.
- [06:34]
John Solomon
I'd like to just start off today thinking about just how magnanimous a moment this was. Peace breaking out in a region that often doesn't have it, that it seems so elusive. During the Biden years, the Biden people couldn't do anything to move this along. How big a day was it and what lies ahead for us to make sure that this is a lasting piece?
- [06:54]
Congressman Jimmy Patronis
Well, I think it really says the strength of the moment that took place that world leaders from all over the globe dropped everything with literally 20 minutes notice to get to Egypt for this historic time in our lives. And look, President Trump, I think, truly is the only person that could have brought it in for a landing. He's. He's a businessman. He's a hospitality guy. He knows how to take care of the customer. He knows how to make the customer happy, and he also knows how to turn a profit. So the common sense that he bought from the private sector in bringing this in for a landing could only have been pulled off with his skills and his abilities. And we're just fortunate that he is the president of our time right now.
- [07:35]
Amanda House
Absolutely. Well, and Congressman, as I'm seeing reactions from people who don't typically talk about this kind of thing, folks like Charlemagne, tha God, people are out there. It's not even necessarily, of course it is that President Trump got it done, but it's highlighting the fact that President Obama, Obama and President Biden did not get it done. So for people out there who may not necessarily pay attention to politics and global politics all the time, that I think is the most glaring thing to them, don't you think?
- [08:03]
Congressman Jimmy Patronis
Absolutely. Well, look, you're talking about a president who has developed projects in some of the most beautiful places of the world. So he had to learn other people's culture. I mean, he is the ultimate dealmaker, but also an ambassador of knowing how and why people make decisions the way they do. And I'm sorry, when you're a career politician, you just don't have that type of knowledge to connect and communicate. And as I was teasing with John a little bit earlier, you know, here this guy's running on fumes and he's playing jokes with the Prime Minister of Canada, calling him the governor of the 51st state. But it was all done in fun. And that's what this guy does. He disarms people with his knowledge and his charm and his intellect.
- [09:11]
Chad Bianco
It.
- [09:53]
John Solomon
I understand we may have lost some audit there for a second. Let me start that again, Congressman. It was such an extraordinary day, but I got the sense that President Trump was leaning in on the next peace mission, specifically sending a very strong overture to Iran and Russia that, hey, you can have a deal like this too. Time to lean in and join the world community. How important was it for the president to do that when other people probably would have just rested on their laurels and celebrated today?
- [10:16]
Congressman Jimmy Patronis
Well, that's what I tell you what I appreciate about this president. It's, he doesn't stop working. A good friend of mine works in the White House. He's a, he's a, he's a low level staffer, been through multiple administrations and he talks about the work ethic of this president. He says the guy will get home at 2:00 clock in the morning and gets back up at 6:00am and he's just ready to hit the ground running. And every single time he sees this particular buddy of mine, he's always shaking his hand and saying thank you for your service to our nation. It's just, it's just a different refreshing day in White House. And I'll tell you this, I'm new in Congress and I like fixing people's problems. The one thing I can tell you when you call the White House, whether it's the irs, the Department of Veterans affairs, the Army Corps of Engineers, you name it, they fix problems, they like to get things done and they don't like a government that's unresponsive to the citizens that it serves.
- [11:11]
Amanda House
Great point, Congressman. One of my favorite books that talks about the evolution from the Swan Building to things like the Department of Defense and now the Department of War. And they talk about the business of war. And that's something that you highlighted in a statement that you put out as well, talking about these nonprofits of folks like Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, of course, as well. Well, but Barack Obama, who, you know, technically have made money off of not ending these wars by continuing these wars, press into that for us.
- [11:41]
Congressman Jimmy Patronis
Well, I think these non for profits, they should be struck from tax code and they should be called non tax paying. Now let them continue to operate. But this is what these, these groups do. They will exploit this tax code and go and prey on somebody's generosity or shake them down. And now they're going out there paying themselves exorbitant salaries and just living in this gray, have considered themselves a non for profit. All the while they're not paying taxes for the lifestyles that are leading. I'm done with this stuff. You know, again, at the end of the day, it may not affect, you know, how much I pay for my cup of coffee, but it's unethical and immoral that they're going around the world parading themselves as some type of a, of a leader or some type of a great hero when it comes to solving these problems, when it's nothing more than a shakedown for them to raise money and pay off their supporters.
- [12:32]
John Solomon
So important people need to understand how that system has worked for a long time. The Clinton foundation among them. Let me turn, sir, to the shutdown because you said people want a responsive government. Right now they have a shut government. The Republicans have repeatedly tried to do everything they can to open this government back up. The Democrats won't let them. What is the long term play here? How do Democrats finally bend to the will of the people and what are Republicans doing to make the best of it right now?
- [12:59]
Congressman Jimmy Patronis
Well, unfortunately, I don't think the Democrats are feeling any pain. At the end of the day, we've got a president who is going to make sure that the citizens of this country are getting served. He's Going to make sure that our airmen our Navy. Happy birthday Navy250 birthday today. All those branches of military including the Coast Guard today are going to find a way to get a paycheck. So he is continuing to be pivot outside of the box. And unfortunately the Democrats are just so out of touch with what is the real challenges our nation is facing. They want another $1.5 trillion of brand new money to come out of the thin air. Well actually out of the taxpayers United States pocket to pay for health care for illegals or expand a Covid area era enhanced subsidy when we're not even Covid anymore. So the arguments that they're making, including sending money back to PBS again they're far reaching and it's good use of the taxpayers money. Let's get the government open and if they want to have a meaningful discussion about what the true cost of health care is in our times, then let's do that with real data, real information that is in the best interest and real use of the taxpayers dollar to ultimately deliver the best price for the cost of the service.
- [14:16]
Amanda House
Absolutely sir. I want to ask you, we are coming up on America's 250 next year. You have the Navy, the Marines are celebrating their 250 this weekend. I was at Mount Vernon today and they celebrated the 250th of President Washington being appointed commander. We have all of these amazing celebrations commemorating wonderful things that happened, obviously the inception of our country. What do you think that these celebrations would have looked like? Would they have even happened if the if the American people chose Kamala Harris?
- [14:44]
Congressman Jimmy Patronis
Oh gosh, you know, the parades would have been turned into political fiascos. You would see all types of different genders of, you name it, of any type. And they would be be a part of a display of DEI and some other form of character that is not indicative of the American fighting warrior. And look, I know some people think well do we really need to change the name of the Department of Defense Department of War? I said absolutely, you know, it's time to bring respect back to those men and women in uniform and went and brought all the generals in as the President met with him. It's a good shakeup, you know, but you need to communicate. But for the last four years we had an auto pen that was running this administration and by gosh, if we'd have had a vice President Kamala Harris to end up ultimately becoming the president, Lord knows how much further we would have fallen as standing in the world. But as of today, today's a day of history. Today is a day that we looked at the rest of the world dead in the eye and said we are back. We are setting a tone of moving forward without these costly wars and taking care of our allies. And this is ominous that we saw nothing from China, nothing from Putin today. Eerily quiet. But you saw the rest of the world come together in one voice with celebration of peace in the Middle East.
- [16:08]
John Solomon
Yeah, no doubt, sir. Before we let you go, I've been watching social media since you mentioned the idea of Poland nonprofit. That was very popular among the audience watching tonight. Do you got a favorite first profit you'd start nonprofit you'd start with.
- [16:20]
Congressman Jimmy Patronis
You know, I'll pick fights with a lot of these groups that go out there. Look, here's a perfect example. Take an organization that goes out as a non for profit but then has a skybox and a stadium. Why does that exist? I would start with every, every skybox in every stadium that is funded by a non for profit. And those are the ones I would start with. You know, it just, it makes no sense why if you're a not for profit, you can afford, you know, a skybox in some cases could cost over $1 million a year.
- [16:56]
John Solomon
Common sense. What a great idea we get every time you have in the show, sir. What a great honor to have you on there. Thanks so much for joining us. All right, folks, right after the break, we're going to dial in a little bit more.

Amanda House
Welcome back, everybody. Today has been an incredibly historic day for the Middle east and for the globe, with President Trump leading the charge for peace, securing a deal between Israel and Hamas to stop the fighting in that conflict and bringing together many, many Middle Eastern nations in the process of doing that. So what's next for the region and can the peace last? Joining us to examine all of that as well as much more, Vice president of the Lexington Institute and national security analyst, Rebecca Grant. Rebecca, great to have you with us tonight.
- [18:58]
Rebecca Grant
Great to talk with you on this historic day.
- [19:02]
Amanda House
Absolutely. You know, I hate to be a cynic, but I feel like for many administrations past who tried to make historic things like this happen, I got to wonder if there's a little bitterness coming from folks like Bush and Obama and Biden thinking, rats, why didn't I get it done? Why was it so easy for Trump? I know, I know it wasn't easy. I shouldn't say that. Why did it seem so easy?
- [19:22]
Rebecca Grant
Well, as Trump himself said, sometimes the best deals come together quickly. But the truth is, hey, every American president since Jimmy Carter has tried to achieve this level of peace. Trump managed to use US Military power and then to set up a whole new wave of US Economic power and to get that momentum going. You know, I think you've really got to give credit, though, to our US military forces who defended Israel against two Iranian strikes back in 2024. Of course, the B2s doing Operation Midnight Hammer and taking Iran's nuclear capabilities off the table. And then all the deployment, you know, we usually had 30, 40,000 US forces deployed, their aircraft carriers, the operation against the Houthis, Operation Rough Rider. So let's give them a lot of credit. There will also be a small number of US Forces in Israel helping to set up peacekeeping. That's going to be a lot of tactical communications and command and control as multinational forces come into that region. The US Is really good at organizing a large multinational force. So thank you to our US Military for their contribution. But hey, President Donald Trump, he has reset the global order today.
- [20:39]
John Solomon
Yeah, pretty remarkable. All right, let's talk about what comes next. There's obviously a 20 step plan, so we know what's in the plan. But obviously the big issues are willing Hamas truly vacate Gaza and yield to a new government. What is the Gaza rebuilding look like? And does this up the pressure for Israel to accept a two State solution. Could you kind of referee those three big ones?
- [21:03]
Rebecca Grant
Yes. And de. Radicalizing Gaza is point number one in the 20 point plan. And to me, that means disarming amnesty, getting law and order back in Gaza, and giving the people of Gaza a real chance. So that also makes Israel secure and makes the region secure. So that's number one. And then really the economic redevelopment, we saw it months ago as Trump first raised that idea of development in Gaza and the beautiful seaside coast. But what he's done now is secure money from some still unnamed states in the region who were willing to go in and spend the 50 to 60 billion to move the rubble, rebuild the businesses. And this was a big factor for Ambassador Witkoff to make sure that now you can get banking restarted, you can get insurance, you can get loans, you can do all the things that these New Yorkers know Gaza needs to really rebuild. And then that is what is going to give Gaza a better political future. And I think going to see Gaza again as a little bit of a test case to what a potential maybe discussion about a Palestinian entity will look like. If Gaza does well, then that opens a whole realm of possibilities.
- [22:23]
John Solomon
Yeah, good point.
- [22:24]
Amanda House
And you mentioned some of these other players, obviously folks like special Envoy Steve Witkoff, but Jared Kushner, who's been mostly behind the scenes up until now and will probably go back into behind the scenes. But Secretary of State Marco Rubio, I mean, this is absolutely incredible and a testament to his work as well. Tell us about. I mean, is this, does this place Marco Rubio among the greatest secretaries of state in our country's history?
- [22:47]
Rebecca Grant
Yes, it doesn't. You know, a mere 10 months on the job. I thought so the minute he got Panama to back off from their ties with China. Rubio really is doing a phenomenal job as the national security adviser, as Secretary of State, and covering just every issue. And I think Trump's praise of him is out of deep gratitude and deep respect for the fantastic job he's doing. Same goes for General Dan Kaine, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, a little bit of an unknown, a dark horse who had retired and who has now stepped up to have clearly the full confidence of the president and an incredibly adroit master of American military power in his advisory role. So those two just really doing super job.
- [23:34]
John Solomon
There were several moments today where President Trump leaned in, I think, to the next potential peace deals, saying, hey, it's time to put old feuds aside, that we're always open for a conversation about world peace. Clearly, Iran, he mentioned by name. Russia was probably by inference. Was that intentional and does he intend to ride the momentum of this to others deals?
- [23:54]
Rebecca Grant
He'd love to. It may take some time with Iran, but we know that president position in Iran is really would like to talk. It's just that mean old ayatollah who's holding it up. Trump could not have been more forward leaning and he says, you know, he thinks Iran is tired of all this. Of course, Iran has terrible economic problems and I suspect, you know, Trump is maybe seeing a little intel that we aren't going to see that shows that Iran has really exhausted themselves. They are not able to run their terror proxies like they once did. That is great for the region and there's all that tremendous economic opportunity. So he more than extended an olive branch to Iran, I think. And this is consistent with his first administration too. He's ready to talk to Iran anytime that they're serious about it. We'll see.
- [24:42]
John Solomon
It's true.
- [24:43]
Amanda House
Rebecca, it's hard to ever consider our relationship with China on solid ground. But it got increasingly more dicey recently when China announced that they were reconsidering what their exports and supply of critical minerals to the rest of the world is going to look like. President Trump reacted punitively with increased tariffs. Tell us about that. Are you worried about that situation?
- [25:01]
Rebecca Grant
Yes, he did because we went through this in May and they backed off. So that tariff, 100% won't go in effect until November 1st. And Scott Bessant, another super star, says he thinks that, that, you know, China may have some time to work it out here, but China had already tried to put this restriction and it really affects manufacturing all along. So we've got to get that changed. And hey, it is high time, I mean, heck, what happened to those tariffs on account of China's ongoing support for Ukraine. So, you know, this is part of the new global order. If you're not behaving well, Trump will tariff you. I love it.
- [25:40]
John Solomon
Pretty clear rule.
- [25:40]
Amanda House
Absolutely. Just cut and dry. Rebecca Grant, national security analyst and vice president over at the Lexington Institute. Always great to have you here, especially on a historic day like today.
- [25:50]
Rebecca Grant
Thanks so much.
- [25:52]
Amanda House
Absolutely. All right, everybody, coming up, we're going to discuss Antifa and why they seem to be getting a pass from law enforcement in Portland especially, but other areas as well. More details on the other side of this break.
- [26:08]
John Solomon
Hey, America. A new administration in Washington, D.C. has brought a lot of positive changes when it comes to fixing our broken health care system. But the truth is if we Want to make America healthy again? It starts at home and that's where the wellness company comes in. You hear from the doctors on this network all the time.

Welcome back, America. With so many people celebrating a more secure world today, I thought we'd talk a little bit about a threat on our own. So, Antifa. Over the weekend, I noticed a significant storyline emerging out of the Democrats and their friends in the establishment media that Antifa is not a real thing. It's a figment. Don't believe it. That's why the president's already been able to designate it a domestic terrorism organization. I thought we'd bring in someone who really understands the group well and also some of the Blue City's failures to counter it. He's the CEO of the center for American Liberty, our good friend Mark Trimmel. Mark, good to have you on the show.
- [27:51]
Mark Brimmell
John. Amanda, thank you for having me.
- [27:54]
John Solomon
All right, I want you to take on this myth that the media and the Democrats, particularly this weekend, they were working it pretty hard. Is Antifa a group or is it some amorphous mythological idea of conservatives?
- [28:07]
Mark Brimmell
Well, it's certainly not the latter. It's definitely an organization. You know, I think several years ago President Biden described Antifa as merely an ideology. And that was partially true. But it's an ideology with legs. And so you see it present itself perhaps a little bit differently in different areas of the world. It's anarchist at its core. In American cities, we see it primarily in places like Portland, cities that are really run by far left legislators and executive officers. And we see this lie right over the weekend. You referenced it a moment ago. You see this lie that antifa doesn't really exist. And that's because it doesn't fit into a very convenient political narrative. You and I both know that it does exist. Through our work at the center for American Liberty. I represent a independent journalist, Andy Ngo, who can tell you firsthand how Antifa really does exist. It was back in 2020, Andy was brutally assaulted by Antifa not once, but twice. And as a result of that, we actually had to step in and file lawsuits because the city being run by leftists, decided to do nothing to defend Andy as a victim. Right. So there's no incentive in places like Portland for the police officers on duty to arrest members of Antifa for their lawless, violent, chaotic behavior. If prosecutors are just going to no prosecution the case, if they're just going to dismiss the case and they're not actually going to take them to trial and hold them accountable, that leaves organizations like ours then, and private individuals like. Like Andy to file lawsuits in civil court. We've been fighting this for five years now. We have judgments against several members of Antifa and now we're actually seeking enforcement through the courts against these individuals to hold them accountable. But the lie that Antifa doesn't exist is just political propaganda at its core.
- [30:11]
Amanda House
Mark John is still upset with me because he's never going to be able to get the image out of his head. I guess it's a nudist march protesting ICE in Portland, and it's absolutely absurd. But my concern about this is like, okay, we're either subject to. To these violent protests or were subjected to their naked bodies, but regardless, it's getting attention. Is it the right kind of attention, though? Because it seems to me that they are doing this. You know, I don't know what sane folks in the United States are gravitating towards. Naked people on bikes fighting against ice.
- [30:43]
Mark Brimmell
Yeah, it's a wild development, right? If you like it, you're probably in the wrong. You're absolutely in the wrong. I think it's shocking to see what's. What's going on. I mean, in places like Portland where this is happening, they should be arresting these people for indecent exposure. There are children on these sidewalks and parents that are taking their kids to these types of events and exposing them to this type of just horrific behavior. I mean, they should have their heads checked because it's absolutely abhorrent. These folks should be who are taking their clothes off in this manner and streets to protest. I understand that there is something ext. Expressive here. However, the law doesn't allow them to expose their genitalia in the public streets. They should absolutely be arrested. This is indecent exposure and it's wrong.
- [31:37]
John Solomon
So you've said something important in your efforts to protect and, you know, you've been able to identify actual members of antifa. Begin the enforcement proceedings. President Trump now has made a domestic terrorism organization designation for Antifa, and he's hinted, and Seb Gorka came on the show and strongly hinted that that's going to be upgraded to an international terrorism organization designation. What does that do in the fight against Antifa? How can the Trump administration leverage that? Should they make that conclusion?

Well, I think it's a really positive move forward because what the president is doing is he is giving directives to federal agencies to investigate, to disrupt, to dismantle Antifa as a lawless anarchist organization. And that's really important because one of the, one of the targets of Antifa are a free press. So if you're going to report on the truth for what Antifa is doing, you're going to expose Antifa for what they're doing, you know, in the, in the shadows.
- [32:33]
Dr. Jonathan Greenberg
Right.
- [32:34]
Mark Brimmell
If you're going to bring that into the light, then you're an enemy of Antifa. And so this is, this is, this is very good. You know, I would actually say it's not just very good, it's great. It's a great move by this president. It's one that, you know, if you believe in the First Amendment, whether you're a classical liberal or a conservative, any president should have done this before. And so it's a really, I'm really encouraged that President Trump is taking such a stance today to hold Antifa accountable. And I think at the end of the day, if the American people have a clearer window as to what Antifa is actually about, and they can, they can actually understand for themselves, make their own decisions for what's really going on, I think we're going to have a lot more peace in our streets.
- [33:18]
Amanda House
Yeah. Mark, there seems to be a fair amount of overlap between the Antifa crowd and the trans crowd. Are you finding that to be true? And why is that?
- [33:27]
Mark Brimmell
Very much so. You know, my client Andy calls this Trans tifa. I didn't, I didn't coin the phrase, but I think there's a lot of truth to it. And I think what's happening here is there's, there's vulnerable populations of people, and that vulnerable population is being targeted by these, these leaders of Antifa, and they're being radicalized. And so one of the things that I'm really concerned about is this, this pipeline from the classroom to the operating room, transitioning kids and doing all of this without parental notification and consent. It's really a radicalization pipeline. And so this reality that there's a huge overlap in ideologies and it's really, you know, we mentioned a moment ago that Antifa is intrinsically at its core anarchist. It's this idea that anything is traditional has to be wrong. And so they're going to, you know, attack it with everything they have. And the reality is they have a lot, right, they have a lot of funding. They're, there are nonprofits that are raising money for legal defense for members of Antifa. We file lawsuits against individual members of Antifa. And kind of the, the criticism when we, when we filed those lawsuits was well, you know, these people are just, you know, part time baristas living in their parents basements. The reality is that there are, there are nonprofits who are raising money to, to pay for their anarchist behavior. There's nonprofits that are, that are paying for the lawyers to defend them and then there's even lawyers who are being paid to, you know, dox journalists who are reporting perhaps under anonymity for what's, what's, what's really happening. And so it's a, it's a enormous problem and this president is taking the right steps to correct it.
- [35:17]
John Solomon
Yeah, such an important moment to self correct this before this ideology spreads any further among our young folks. Mark, what a great honor to have you on the show. Congrats on all the work your group is doing. We'll be sure to get you back on real soon. Thanks.
- [35:31]
Mark Brimmell
Thanks so much.
- [35:33]
John Solomon
All right folks, quick break around the corner. When we come back, Dr. Jonathan Greenberg's here. Yeah, if you're snoring and keeping your partner up in bed, we got a solution for you. You're going to want to see it next, but after these messages, foreign.
- [35:53]
Amanda House
Welcome back everybody. In the spirit of Halloween, it's spooky season, it's October, we're two weeks in. So we are talking about real life horror stories, but not the kind with ghosts and ghouls and goblins and things like that. We're talking about sleep horror stories. The kind that leaves couples exhausted and frustrated and even sleeping in separate rooms sometimes. So joining us now to discuss how we can all get better sleep sleep is the founder and inventor of Zipa, biomedical engineer and renowned sleep expert, Dr. Jonathan Greenberg. Dr. Greenberg, thanks so much for being back with us.
- [36:23]
Dr. Jonathan Greenberg
It's great to be here. Amanda. John it's, you know, the whole goal of getting people with better sleep. And you know, as you talk about horror stories, you know, we don't think necessarily of snoring and horror. But there are some pretty ugly situations that occur. Just give you a couple of examples. One of my patients, a short, petite woman who you would not think snores, lives in a very large 5,000 square foot, five bedroom home. She snores so loud that they put her in the maid's room down in the other end of the house and still nobody can get any sleep. So she came to see me to get that fixed. So incredible. Another woman. And this really gets heartfelt because patient came in, he said his wife who had recently passed had had cancer and she had cancer for a few years. And because of his snoring, she was sleeping in a separate bedroom and they'd been married for 30 years. And he said, you know, she was the love of my life. But the last few years it wasn't the cancer, it was her sleeping in a separate bedroom where they fell almost out of love. They were like more business partners, but they that love, that romance was gone. And so he came to see me because he found he had a new love in his life. And he said, there is no way, doc, I'm going to be in a separate bedroom than her. You have to help me with my snoring. And yeah, we were able to get that taken care of for him. And wonderful story to that. But it really gets into the impact of how significant snoring, how significant that is on a relationship and the impact that has.
- [38:05]
Amanda House
Yeah, you know, we kind of joke about the Lucy Desi sleep model when it comes to being in separate beds, but it's really devastating when it affects your marriage. It also affects the rest of your day because you can wake up in the morning having a cruddy sleep and obviously your morning is not going to go well, but it extends all the way into the evening and it doesn't stop until you get good sleep. Right?
- [38:25]
Dr. Jonathan Greenberg
Yeah. And it's about that quality sleep if you are not, you know, and we all know when we don't wake up, well, you know, we're being woken up, the snoring. And you know what I've spoken about before? Secondhand snoring. You know, it's the bed partner who is suffering as much, if not more so than the person who's snoring. And so when people look at the ZPA mouthpiece, they go, you know, can I get results in one night? Is this possible? And you know, my message really is, are you ready to actually stop snoring? If you're not ready to commit to this, then it's not the Right time. But if you truly are ready, then ZPA does have the answer. And whether it's the first night or the seventh night, you'll get there. But it's that commitment. We did a clinical trial with over 600 patients to see how well it actually worked. And it worked for 91 out of 100 patients. So we know it's going to work. It just, it's the commitment that you want it to work and if you really are serious about it, it will work for you.
- [39:29]
John Solomon
Yeah, it's so remarkable. And I think a lot of people start thinking about this and sleep apnea, like ah, the CPAP or surgery, this is so simple. It's just basically putting a seatbelt on your tongue while you're sleeping so it doesn't contribute to that blockage of the airway. How did you come up with, I mean you're a world renowned sleep expert, but when did you realize that the tongue was a big major part of this interruption?
- [39:52]
Dr. Jonathan Greenberg
John, that's a great question. You know, I did a strange thing as a doctor. I actually listened to my patients. So, you know, so we feel like the doctor never listened to us. And all the patients told me when I'm on my back I snore more. If I drink alcohol, I snore more. And I really, I looked at this and I saw that people, you know, when you're on your back, anatomically, the only reason you're going to snore more or snore when you do is because of the tongue and nothing that was out there. All the other mouthpieces just brought your jaw forward but that doesn't directly address the tongue. So we needed to do that. And that's what my patents were on. It's the seatbelt for the tongue, the elastic band that goes across.
- [40:38]
Congressman Jimmy Patronis
So effective.
- [40:38]
Dr. Jonathan Greenberg
And now we've combined it with the mouth tape and together the mouth tape, which we're giving a 30 day supply included for free to, you know, to your audience because we want the best for them. We don't want them to be taking a shortcut in the sense of not getting the full, most the best benefit possible. We want them to get that best benefit. So we're including that mouth tape for free as well.
- [41:04]
Amanda House
So it's kind of a companion deal there because it works best with both of the things, right?
- [41:09]
Dr. Jonathan Greenberg
It does. And some people find the mouthpiece is better, some people find the mouth tape is better and some people like them both together. And that's obviously the ideal situation. But it will work. Either of the ways. Now we also have something pretty cool for Halloween. We have a ghost mouthpiece which actually glows in the dark and so you can open your mouth the middle of the night. You know, it's your own nightlight. You could if you have to go to the restroom or something. So it's kind of fun. There's only a limited. Yeah, there's a limited supply of that. The other thing, for anybody who's sitting on the fence, you know, we offer a 90 day, 91 day warranty, which is virtually unheard of in any kind of consumer product. And the reason we do this is because we know it is going to work. We are here to support everybody, to get great sleep, quiet, silent sleep, quality sleep. So when you wake up, you're feeling refreshed and we know we can do that for everybody. And so that's why we have this 90, 91 day warranty that we give them. So if somebody's on the fence, there's no need to be. Just get it now. Now's the time.
- [42:24]
John Solomon

- [43:02]
Rebecca Grant
We'll be back on the other side.
- [43:14]
Amanda House
Welcome back, everybody, to our final segment of the night. Let's end the show tonight by talking about my other home state of California because it seems the Democrats really, really want to highlight California as an example of their leadership. Governor Gavin Newsom seems like the front runner on the Democrat side for president, for example, but his California governance really a good example for Democrats to be pushing. So joining us now is someone who knows a lot about this topic because he deals with it every day. He's the, the Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco and he's also running for governor of California, Sheriff Bianco, thanks for being with us.
- [43:46]
Chad Bianco
Absolutely. I'm happy to be here, sir.
- [43:49]
Amanda House
Decades of bad governance up in Sacramento how can you possibly unravel it?
- [43:55]
Chad Bianco
Well, I think it's. It's going to be easier than everyone thinks. I think for this election is going to be a referendum on California. We saw it about a year and a half ago, last year with Prop 36. And this is going to be a little bit bigger of a topper, icing on the cake, if you will. And I don't. I think that the, the far left, the far left agenda, everyone is sick of it. I have a feeling that even a lot of the Democrats are sick of it. So getting back to what government is supposed to be, I don't think is going to be that big a deal. We just need the leader there that's capable of making it happen.
- [44:29]
John Solomon
It's fun to watch your campaign because you're very optimistic and you, you have very substantive policies, but you're optimistic about the future of California. The Democrats have an anger issue right now. Whether it's Katie Porter on tape or the antifa or all the people that they're defending every day, they seem angry, they seem hateful, they seem spiteful. Is this a moment where their brand erupts for them?
- [44:51]
Chad Bianco
I think it is. And this has been going on for a while that the whole anger issue, the entire emotion issue has completely overcome the Democrat Party. There. There's no reason anymore. There's no thoughtful process. There's no articulation of anything of facts or what you're doing right or anything like that. It's just all emotion. And I think that when you run the course of the emotion, all you have left, they're just frustrated, they're angry, they're mad at President Trump, they're mad at success. And that's manifesting itself and that's what we DC So I think that they've made. They've made their own party a place that is indefensible anymore. And they're just frustrated and we are going to see this more. So not just from Katie Porter.
- [45:36]
John Solomon
Yeah, I think you're right.
- [45:37]
Amanda House
And I want to ask you about this California brand of Democrat doubling down. And by that I mean the Trump administration is suing L. A County because of all of the blockades that they have put up for people to obtain CCWs. At the same time, you've got Gavin Newsom who just signed into law a Glock ban. They're doubling down on the things that are very, very unpopular and frankly, counter to the Constitution.
- [46:00]
Chad Bianco
Yeah, it certainly is. They've shown, especially Gavin Newsom, the, the Democrat Party has shown that they Have a, a really a hatred for our Constitution. They don't like free speech, they don't like the second amendment. They, it's, it's an odd place. And when you say double down, it's. I think that's what we're all getting tired of, the double down, the triple down, the quadruple down. Especially with rights and in the second amendment, law abiding residents don't commit crime. That's the bottom line. And we have a attorney general, a governor and a Democrat party that believes that no one in California should be able to have concealed weapons permits, that you should be able to own guns. They're, they're out lying guns. It's just a crazy time. At the same time they refuse to add on the enhancements for criminals that commit crimes with guns and they take them away. They're making it their legislation to take it away. It's a bizarre place that they find themselves in.
- [47:01]
John Solomon
Yeah, the incongruities are jaw dropping some days. Sheriff, I want to talk a little bit about the difference that you have in a vision and how government plays a role making our lives better and how it stays out of it when it intrudes on our liberty. There's a brand new water preservation sort of approach that Gavin Newsom and the Democrats and the legislatures have. I've heard a lot of people say they're very concerned about what this means for just everyday freedom in our homes. Talk a little bit about what this does and sort of the vision you have that's very different from Democrats.
- [47:33]
Chad Bianco
Yeah, it's extremely different. It's night and day. One believes that we should be responsible for ourselves and we should be able to make anything that we want for ourselves. And the other one, their side believes that government should tell us what we get and we should be happy with what government tells us we can have. The thing that we have to realize is the issue with water has been going on in California for a long, long time. And it's about government control. If you can control their water, you control the food, you control the people. And that's what they believe. That is exactly opposite of what I believe. I think government should get out of our way, get out of our lives. With the exception of the whole water issue is water is an infrastructure issue that government is supposed to be responsible for. And we are supposed to be making sure that our residents, our farming community, our ag community has the water that we need. California has it. But we are doing a great mismanagement job of making sure that our farmers do not get access to it. And that's going to change with me as the governor. We will have plenty of reservoirs built in this state to make sure that we have all of the water stored and then we're replenishing our farms, making sure that the groundwater comes back up. It's not rocket science. I don't have to reinvent the wheel. We have plenty of examples of how to do it. Right. And it's opposite of California government.
- [48:49]
Rebecca Grant
Yeah.
- [48:49]
Amanda House
Sir, just quickly, we got 30 seconds left. You are a law and order type guy. If you look at the protests, the ice protests in Los Angeles, people would think that California is way off in loony pasture. But I feel like the people of California are yearning for law in order to return to their land.
- [49:05]
Chad Bianco
Yeah. There's only certain places in California that are. That are still off in loony land and then we see them on tv. The majority of Californians, I think, are over it. We're tired of it. We. We took as much as we could possibly take and we're ready to rescue our state, bring back the California dream, save this beautiful state, and in turn save the country.
- [49:25]
Amanda House

- [49:45]
Chad Bianco
Yeah.

Amanda House
Absolutely.
- [49:47]
John Solomon
See some more developments tomorrow. And possibly a designation of mentee by Mary Colombia.
- [49:51]
Amanda House
That would be incredible. And as we've talked to many of our guests, that would make a big difference in the way of stomping this out in our country. All right, everybody, we hope you have a wonderful evening. Grant central is going to take you through the next hour. In the meantime, have a great night.
