A
This is an I Heart podcast. Good evening, America. Happy Thursday. 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. yep, we're still in a shutdown, but things are happening here. We've got some big news to kick off the show. It's an accountability nose and it answers a question we've been asking on this show. How high up did the approvals go for Arctic Frost? That investigation that looked at 92 conservative groups, got the phone records of eight senators and one House member, took the phones of Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence and worked with Congress, at least discussed with Congress the notion of looking at 30 million lines of Americans phone data as people who had just called the justice, the White House when Donald Trump was president. Well, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassi, just a little while ago, you saw this on Just the News. It was a breaking news alert. Released a document showing the handwritten signatures approving this investigation by former Attorney General Merrick Garland. That was Joe Biden's top lawman, Deputy Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco. You hear a lot of people on this show raising concerns about her and former FBI Director Christopher Wray. All three approved the opening of that investigation. Now, when you take a look at everything that happened there, a lot of people who look at this say this doesn't look like a criminal investigation. It looks like an enemies list masquerading as a criminal investigation. A lot of people have been concerned about last night. As you remember, Senator Marsha Blockburn was on this show. She was one of those eight senators whose phone privacy was pierced by this investigation. And she said she was deeply concerned about Arctic Frost and planning to sue the Justice Department over this, including Jack Smith, the prosecutor who presided over it. This is a big story. We now know that the approval of this investigation wasn't at the low levels of the FBI. It went to the very top, very top of the Biden administration. Now, in other news, probably President Trump also today held an event at the White House highlighting the effectiveness of the Homeland Security Task Force in going after illegal narcotics and cartel operations. We've been in the chemical warfare, our young people in this country, young adults and children being targeted. The White house announced that 152,119 pounds of narcotics have been seized through the task force. That figure includes 5,101 pounds of fentanyl powder and over 2 million fentanyl pills and over 3,000 foreign terrorists cartel members arrested. That is A really big number. All right, let me bring in my amazing co host, Amanda Head, who's in California still. She's been watching a lot of other headlines for us. Amanda, what do you got for us?
- [02:55]
B
Indeed, John. Yeah, I've got a few stories and a few clips that I want to play for everybody. One of them is FBI Director Cash Patel announcing the takedown of a massive illegal gambling ring involving NBA players, coaches, and even the Mafia. You thought La Cosa Nostra and the Gambinos were out of the business? Nope. Check this out.
- [03:15]
C
Not only did we crack into the fraud that these perpetrators committed on the grand stage of the NBA, but we also entered and executed a system of justice against La Casa Nostra to include the Bonanno, Gambino, Genovese and Lucchese crime families. The charges and the arrests that were taken down across this country range from wire fraud, money laundering, extortion, robbery, illegal gambling.
- [03:43]
B
Boy, oh, boy. So that's going to be interesting to watch that transpire involving players, too. Absolutely incredible. Well, ESPN's Stephen A. Smith, he thinks that there's somebody to blame for these players possibly being arrested for this gambling scheme. And it might surprise you. Maybe not, though who you think it, who he thinks it is. Check it out.
- [04:02]
D
Why am I glad you're here, Monica? Because don't be surprised if the WNBA is next on his list. Because when you've got all of these protests that have been going out there and people that have been protesting against him and what have you, this man is coming. He's coming. And I've been saying it for a long time. And to me, this is the latest nugget of evidence that we're talking about right here. In his eyes, folks tried to throw him in jail. In his eyes, he's innocent. They try to put me behind bars, I'm getting everybody. He's not playing.
- [04:37]
B
Goodness gracious. All right. And I want to wrap up with something affecting New York City, of course, Zoran Mamdani. John, you know this with your family, family being in law enforcement, law enforcement goes on to a scene and they make sure that they are protected, oftentimes with Kevlar, but they have defensive weapons. And that's because regardless of how small a situation seems at the beginning, it can always explode. It can always escalate into something that is lethal. That is the conventional wisdom. Well, Zoran Mamdani does not share that wisdom because during the mayoral debate, he doubled down on having mental health experts respond to some crimes. Check this out.
- [05:14]
E
I am confident that under a Mamdani administration, we will continue to deliver on that same mission and do so while creating the Department of Community Safety to ensure that mental health experts were the ones responding to the mental health crisis, because safety and justice is at the cornerstone of our pursuit of public safety. And in doing so, we will also be able to deliver our agenda for affordability.
- [05:36]
B
So, John, I suppose I'm just wondering, let's say that this mental health expert is, you know, a family psychologist, a family therapist, something like that, you send them into a situation that ultimately escalates and they're a sitting duck now in a situation that could be vital and violent.
- [05:55]
A
Yeah. Now listen, a lot of people are concerned about this move and it doesn't. Some cities that have tried it have only seen crime go up, too, by the way.
- [06:03]
B
Right.
- [06:04]
A
There's some. The Zohran Mandami plan is one that's already been proven to fail and committees have rejected it in other places. We'll see what happens. This is interesting. Listen, the big thing for people in New York, hold onto your wallets. We had a great story this morning. So Rahman Dami wants to create a tax on white people is basically what he said. He wants to target the white areas of New York. We don't tax people based on. We don't tax people based on their race. One of his prototypes in Seattle wants to tax people if they don't rent their buildings fast enough. Think about that. You can get a tax for keeping a vacant building for a couple months. These new socialist Democrats, they're about taking money out of your wallet, too. Not only putting your jeopardy, your life in jeopardy, but taking money out of your wallet. And we had a good story in that today. So. All right. We're going to kick off the show with a great guest. He's one of my favorite members of Congress because he tells it like it is. He represents the state of Arizona. He is our friend, Congressman Eli Crane. Congressman, great to have you back on the show.
- [07:01]
C
Thanks, John, for having me. It's great to be here.
- [07:04]
A
All right. I know you have some pretty strong feelings about your Democrat colleagues. They believe that the shutdown should be about leveraging opportunity for Democrats, making it hurt more for Americans so they can gain the upper hand. They want to let people out of prison early. They want to tax you more. They want to send in health professionals when you really need a cop to help you. What's going on with the Democratic Party? How could their compass be so off from where American circumstances, sentiments are?
- [07:29]
C
Well, I think it's you know, just another day, you guys recovering, you know, some things on your open. Sounds like more messes that we're going to have to clean up as Republicans. But I want to be real clear about something, John. You know, I want to tell you something, and I think I've come on your show and talked to you about it before. I'm not saying that there's never a time to shut down the government. As a matter of fact, I think I've talked on your show about supporting a government shutdown in the last Congress. And that's when we had the Biden border crisis, right? We had, you know, thousands and hundreds of thousands of Americans dying of fentanyl, being assaulted, raped, murdered by gang members, etc. But if you look at what they're doing now, I mean, for the most part, this is about us, you know, continuing subsidies for a health care program that doesn't work, giving health care to illegal aliens, you know, who have become a large part of their base. And it's just not even equivalent. It's not the same whatsoever. And I mean, they had a, they had a bill on the floor today that would have, you know, paid, paid our troops and other federal workers that are in danger of not getting paychecks, and the Democrats shut it down. And so this just goes to show that it's all about politics for them. It's all about the fact that they hate what the Trump administration is doing, how much they're winning and they're stomping their feet like little children. And I don't think it's going to end well for them. John, I do want to say this for Republicans and Republican leadership. I'm actually proud of them. And that's not something that I often say for holding the line. I'm used to watching Republicans, you know, fold like a lawn chair, but they've actually held the line. And I think it's wise, John, because we still have another three plus years of President Trump in a second administration. And if we start folding now and getting into their demands early, it's going to be a long three years, brother.
- [09:32]
B
Indeed. Indeed. Well, and I think that maybe that is why. Because, because Republicans are standing strong. I think it is maybe a surprise to some people, but psychologically speaking, if Democrats are sticking in this fight, it's because they think that Republicans or Mike Johnson won't. Where is that area that they feel like is flexible or that. That Republicans will wiggle so that they can get more of what they are. What, what, what is that?
- [09:58]
C
Well, I Can't blame them, Amanda, for thinking that. I mean, the Republican Party, and I've come on your show and talked about it many, many times, has a history of being weak and folding. And so that's why I'm actually surprised, but proud to see it. And I've told Speaker Johnson that myself. They've seen it so many times, they think that we're going to fold. I think the polling is going against them. I think that what they're seeing is what I was talking about earlier. But at the same time, the Trump administration, I think, is outplaying them at every single turn and making sure that on the first paycheck that our troops got paid and they're, you know, they're going on with business as usual. And, and, you know, one of the great things that's coming out of this is the rifts, the reductions in force and us being able, because we're not in session, to get rid of, you know, folks that most Americans and many that watch this show don't think should have federal jobs in the first place. We're also getting, you know, some of Trump's, you know, Senate confirmation picks through as well. And so there are many things that are going on that are good. This also allows us to be out in our districts more, communicating, talking with our people. I've got some serious flooding going on in my district, and so it gives it frees up me to, you know, be out there trying to coordinate and help make sure that the folks of Globe and Miami in my district, you know, get the relief and the help that they need.
- [11:22]
A
Yeah, it is. It's an amazing time to watch this unfold. I think Democrats will look back and say we overplayed our hand in a big way, but we'll see. I want to turn to something you fought for this country and I the liberties that are so important to all of us. And I think what we've learned in the last few weeks and now even in the last few hours, that, that a Merrick Garland, a Lisa Monaco, a Chris Wray could sign off on an investigation to basically go look at anything and everything conservative under the name Arctic Frost, because they were building an enemies list in America, not really investigating crimes. They were looking for the people and finding the crimes people are worried about. Are we ever going to have phone privacy again? Not even senators had phone privacy in this investigation. Is it time? What is the panacea to stop the government from just trudging through all of our personal lives looking for something they can hold against their enemies?
- [12:16]
C
Well, that's why this administration and this time is so important, John. If we don't hold folks that were weaponizing law enforcement accountable, regardless of what political, you know, affiliation they had, this is just going to continue. And that's why this is so important for Pam Bondi and others to step up, to rise to the occasion and make sure that these folks who are weaponizing, you know, the Department of Justice and other agencies that we had hold them accountable. And so we'll see what happens with it, John but, you know, I am grateful to see some of the, you know, the early accountability that I've seen in the first, you know, half of this administration.
- [13:03]
B
Congressman, there are two major thoroughfares that 18 wheelers burn up going coast to coast. You've got I40 that goes through Flagstaff, I10 that goes through Tucson and Phoenix. And at least Tucson and Phoenix, those those are pretty major metropolises. So you've got certain hours of the day where there are tons of drivers on the road who are in danger if there is an illegal alien driving those big rigs who can't spend speak English. So now you've got a situation where it's the federal government versus the state of California who is continuing to issue these commercial driver's licenses to illegal aliens who cannot speak or read English. Does Arizona have a dog in the fight, and should Congress get involved?
- [13:41]
C
You know, we absolutely, we absolutely have a dog in the fight. And it's even more than that because I have friends here in Arizona, you know, who are looking for work in that field and they can't find it because companies are paying, you know, illegals and folks that aren't supposed to be here a lesser wage. So you got Americans dying because many of these drivers, as you mentioned, can't read, you know, the English signs and don't know our traffic laws, and they're just being hired because they'll work for a lesser wage. So you've got Americans dying, you've got other Americans that are looking for these jobs. You can't get them because they won't work for the, you know, the wage that many of these illegals are working for. And so it's a massive problem. And it's just one more byproduct of the Biden Harris border crisis of letting, you know, 10, 15, 20 million illegals into the country. And, you know, we're going to have to absolutely clean it up.
- [14:42]
A
Sir, before I let you go, just get about a minute left. Election integrity even a state like Texas, which has really good laws including voter ID. They had 2700 people that looked like they were noncitizens who got onto the voter rolls. I know you want to really push this and make a national standard for citizenship proof. You and Senator Cruz tell us what's up there.
- [15:03]
C
Yeah, I mean, this has been a problem for a long time. I know that the folks that watch your show, John, are very educated on these issues. You have a very educated audience. But at the end of the day, this is so important. And you know, many folks that come into my office will tell, tell me and anyone who will listen. This is the biggest issue in the country. Democrats don't want tightly run elections. We all know that. They want as much room for fraud as humanly possible. So right now, in many states, you can just check a box and say you're a citizen and that's it. What we're fighting for is we're actually fighting that you as a citizen have to prove that you're a citizen of this country if you are going to vote in our election. I'm proud to stand with Senator Ted Cruz and many others who are fighting for other election integrity efforts. It is so important. I don't believe for a second that Democrats can win fair elections and that's why they want them as fraudulent and open as possible.
- [16:02]
A
This is an issue extremely popular. What you're advocating, 60, 70% of Americans, maybe even more than that, believe in it. It's a winning issue. Sarah, as always, a great honor to have you on the show today. Thanks for such a great update.
- [16:14]
C
Thank you, brother. Appreciate it, guys.
- [16:17]
A
Yes, you as well. Thank you so much for your time. All right, folks, next, an illegal immigrant ended up on Maryland's voter rolls. And it leads to some troubling questions like we were just talking about. Especially because that illegal immigrant was also recently arrested as the superintendent of Des Moines Island. That's right. The superintendent of schools in one of the largest cities in America was illegal immigrant. We're going to get to all of that and get you some answers. Hey, America, let me bring you up to speed on a quiet but urgent issue. CBDCs or central bank digital currencies are being developed by 134 countries.

B
Welcome back everybody. As we were discussing in the last block, we just keep finding more and more evidence and instances that the system is incredibly vulnerable. So how can you have a functioning republic that actually works for the people when the people maybe aren't having their voices heard through their elections? And sadly, we have another example for you, and it involves the illegal alien, former Des Moines, Iowa Superintendent Ian Roberts, who was arrested a few weeks ago by ice. So setting aside the fact that Des Moines hired an illegal alien to run their schools, it turns out that Roberts ended up on the State of Maryland's voter rolls. So help me figure that out. My next guest is absolutely going to Joining us now is the President of the American Accountability Foundation, Tom Jo. Tom, thanks so much for being here.
- [20:00]
H
Hey, thanks so much for having me on. I'm looking forward to Talking about this.
- [20:04]
B
We do as well. And look, it's Maryland. I know a lot of squirrely things happen in the state of Maryland, especially when it comes to election integrity, but how? Last time I checked, and I'm not great at geography, but Iowa and Maryland are not very close.
- [20:17]
H
Yeah, no, exactly. So what happened is this guy came over and went to school in Maryland, went to a university called Coppin State. So he moved to Maryland and he lived here for a while and he had a number of jobs in the state, but unfortunately he registered to vote in Maryland. And really, it seems the policy in Maryland is that we're just going to trust illegal aliens to tell us the truth when they register to vote. And if they check a box that says, yep, I'm a United States citizen, that's all it takes in Maryland to register to vote. And since Maryland happily gives illegal aliens driver's licenses, they can show their driver's license, check a box that says they're a United States citizen, and boom, they're on the voter rolls. It's even worse with the motor voter program on top of that. That really compounds the problem.
- [21:08]
A
So the president, President Trump has made a new tool available, the SAVE Database. Texas used it. Even though Texas has pretty tough voter integrity rules, they believe 2,700 illegal immigrants got in. They were able to find them because of they were using the database as one of the first states to do that. Is that a good long term solution? Do we need all states to eventually be using that database to catch those who try to cheat?
- [21:32]
H
Yeah, 100%. Unfortunately, what's happening in Maryland is the Director of the State Board of Elections is frustrating the efforts of the Trump administration to clean up the rolls. He refuses to share information with the Trump administration so that they can get illegal aliens off the voter rolls in Maryland. Look, it's clear what they're doing here. They want illegal aliens on the voter rolls in Maryland so they vote for Democrats. That's why they make it so easy for them to register. That's why the State Board of Election explicitly refuses on numerous occasions now, after demand letters have come from the Department of Justice to cooperate with the Department of Justice to ensure that only US Citizens, only people that are lawfully in the state of Maryland as US Citizens are allowed to vote in Maryland elections. Look, if I still lived in Maryland, I'd be pretty upset about this because only, only US Citizens and only Maryland residents should be voting in Maryland elections. But the Maryland Board of Elections seems to only want people that are going to vote for Democrats.
- [22:33]
B
Yeah. Tom, There is, I suppose, a secondary issue here. The primary issue, obviously, is illegal immigrants voting in this country. But to me, you hear often, and we experience it here in California. My husband and I have lived in our house for six years, and we still get ballots for the people who lived here before us, and we know them and we talk to them, and they also get ballots at their current. So I know that states are the ones who administer elections. They're the ones who control it. They make the rules, all of that. But if we federally can say, all right, one ballot per person, we're the only ones who are printing these ballots, and we then. And the federal government then sends that out to the states, the states still administer the election. Is that constitutionally copacetic, and is that maybe a small fix to what's happening?
- [23:17]
H
It might be, but I think it's worth taking a step back and kind of walking through what's going on with Mr. Roberts here, because you bring up a really good point with these absentee ballots. So when we got the voter history for Mr. Roberts, we. We saw everything that happened with him with the Board of Elections. The one thing we found out is, you know, obviously he was registered to vote. He wasn't in the country illegally, and we know he checked the box and said he was a US Citizen. But what's even worse is the state of Maryland and Prince George's county, where he lived, continued to send absentee ballots to his home after the guy moved to Iowa. So you've got this guy, he's illegal, shouldn't be on the ballot, doesn't live in the state anymore, and we're just like, we're mailing absentee ballots to this guy. Maryland was incredibly lucky that there wasn't a rash of voter fraud with this individual voter. Now, I am confident that it happened with a number of other voters because it's just. It's a system without any security in place, like they're mailing ballots to an empty home that somebody could have just filled out, scribbled, and then dropped in one of these drop boxes at the local library and voted illegally. So, look, there needs to be some kind of reform in place. But when you look at Ian Roberts voter history with Prince George S. County, it's just absentee ballots after absentee ballot going out in the mail, going to this guy's home when he didn't live there. The fact that it wasn't that there were no votes cast, that part's, frankly, shocking.
- [24:43]
A
Yeah. All right, so the question now is if someone in Maryland can do this and get to vote, then they've negated someone's vote somewhere else, which seems like the equal protection clause of the Constitution is being violated by states that are so lax. Is this a moment for DOJ to go in and sue some of these states saying, hey, someone in Texas is wrongly being wrong because you allowed someone in Maryland to weigh in on the presidency? Is that the sort of potential litigation or action that a hard meat dealer or someone is going to have to take to really make an example of one of these states?
- [25:16]
H
Yeah, 100%. Look, they need to get out to Prince George's county, out to Montgomery county, out to Baltimore City, and they need to drag these folks into federal court, and they need to do what, you know, the Biden administration and Kristen Clark did to counties across the country for years during the Biden administration. They need to sue them and they need to drag them into consent decrees where they force them, under penalty of fine, to reform these measures and ensure, like you said, that some random illegal alien is not diluting the vote of U.S. citizens who are voting in elections and not really tipping the scales. Look, there's a lot of elections that turn on a few votes. And this is really, if you get enough, you get enough illegal votes, you can swing elections. I live in Kentucky now. I remember a few years ago, the Kentucky gubernatorial race was decided by 83 votes. Scaring up that many illegal voters in Maryland wouldn't be a problem. So, look, the DOJ and the FBI, the Election Division, Harmony Dillon, they all need to kind of come down with both feet on top of these counties. And in Maryland, it's Prince George's county, it's Montgomery county, it's Baltimore City, it's Anne Arundel county, it's Baltimore County. But they need to get into it. They need to bring the force of the federal government to bear on this to ensure that people's votes aren't diluted by illegal voters.
- [26:34]
A
So important.
- [26:35]
B
Well, it's happening all across the country. John and I talked last night and tonight a little bit about the, the Texas issue. But I want to ask you about this Indian tribe down in Florida. They are fighting alligator Alcatraz, and they apparently have a history of domestic violence arrest. You guys talked Uncovered this. Tell us about it.
- [26:52]
H
Yeah, this is shocking. You know, it's unfortunate. A lot of these tribes, and we saw this kind of yesterday with the, with the video that Project Veritas rolled out on the contracting fraud. A lot of these tribes, you know, you think it's Just kind of wonderful. But they've got a serious criminal history. And that's what we saw down there with the tribe outside of Alligator Alcatraz is the leadership of their beating their wives, abusing children, you know, substance abuse problems. And they were really kind of a fraud that was used as a hook to sue the state of Florida. And the Trump administration was really kind of chumped, trumped up charges to push back against Alligator Alcatraz, which was a great tool for ICE in the state of Florida to really address the illegal immigration problem and the detention problem that we had. Unfortunately, you know, it appears if you've got the right price, you can rent a tribe for whatever it is you want to do, whether it's a trumped up lawsuit against the administration or, you know, a fraudulent minority contracting company that's contracted with the federal government. You just got to pass enough cash around. And there's tribes around the country who are happy to sign up.

Absolutely. All right, everybody. Coming up, we have a national debt crisis in this country. It has surpassed 38 trillion and we are creeping ever so close to 40 trillion. And the government is shut down because they can't agree on more spending, not less. So how do we get out of this mess? We're going to get to that after this break.

Welcome back, America. We had a story in the last 24 hours on justinnews.com, the national debt has now grown to 38 trillion. You say. Well, wait a second, didn't you just tell me a couple weeks ago was 37 trillion? The answer is yeah, it was just a few weeks ago. In the shortest time ever in American history, the national debt went up 1 trillion in just a few short weeks. It's concerning and we keep talking about it, but there hasn't been the panacea that we all have been looking for. My next guest was long a great fount of sanity in the spending sea of insanity that is Washington. He represented the great state of Louisiana for a long time. Congressman Gary Graves. Congressman, great to have you on the show.
- [32:00]
E
Hey, good to be with you. Thank you.
- [32:03]
A
All right, so I know you left. I know you left frustrated because there are so many ways that we could get a handle on this so quickly. How do we get to 38 trillion? Is there anybody with a plan that really could actually maybe stop the bleed?
- [32:18]
E
Look, I think under this Administration, you're seeing more disruption, more transformation in government than we have seen in decades and decades. It is, it is amazing what's going on. I think it's going to take these fundamental changes. I mean, John, look, let's keep in mind right now, government's been shut down for three weeks. A government that is $38 trillion in debt and by far the majority of Americans. And I'd, I'd venture to say that 99.9% of Americans haven't skipped a beat. They haven't noticed a single impact in their daily lives yet. We continue spending money, continue printing money, continue expanding government spending those limited taxpayer dollars in places where they don't belong. And so I think that this administration is the, is absolutely the time, it's absolutely the place and where we can make some of these transformational changes.
- [33:12]
B
Congressman, as of right now, there are a lot of these videos circulating of people who are recipients of the SNAP program. And I keep hearing how much money they get every month and I'm thinking, holy smokes, that's a full time job. They are enraged that they would be required, the audacity of being required to work 20 hours per week. And I keep thinking you add up all of these EBT recipients, I know it's a drop in the bucket compared to 38 trillion, but does that make much of a difference? And how many other programs like this can we take advantage of the, of this fiscal sanity mode in our country and trim them down too?
- [33:49]
E
It's a perfect example of where you have opportunity to improve government. Look, you can go across government. I think someone counted years ago and found 92 different anti poverty programs. You can get free cell phones, you can get assistance with housing, you can get assistance with health care, assistance with transportation, as you've indicated, assistance with food. The assistance goes on and on and on and on. There's not a measure to see which of these are actually effective. Obviously we don't want to leave people in poverty. We want to lift them out of poverty. These programs need to be a temporary hand up and not a hand out. You can go back and look, Amanda, over the last few decades when Newt Gingrich was speaker, they were tightening of the restriction or tightening of access to those programs, trying to force people or encourage them to get into the workforce. Just a few years ago that happened again as we were negotiating debt ceiling where we further tightened or required that folks after a period of time must volunteer, go to school, get job training, volunteer at their church for 20 hours a week in order to continue to get taxpayer funded benefits like food assistance. These aren't crazy, they aren't mean or cruel. These are things that truly recognize the fact that money doesn't grow on trees. Taxpayers are funding this and it needs to be temporary assistance. So many, many other programs that could be consolidated. Identifying the programs that help get you out of poverty and back into the workforce, that's what we need to be doing. And I think using different types of AI tools and others can help us to measure which of these programs are working and which ones are not.
- [35:28]
A
Yeah, we just had a story. I think Doge is now up to about $218 billion in savings. That's a nice dent. We, we got a little bit of a dent with the rescission. We got a little bit of a dent with the big beautiful bill. What's the next big cut? Is it while we're still shut down? Does President Trump say, I'm riffing, not 20,000 but 100,000 workers now because we've gone on too long. Where do we, where do you think would be the next big cut that someone could make that might have some lasting impact?
- [35:55]
E
I'll give you two examples, John, where I think you have huge opportunities. First of all, taking a look at what's happened over the last three weeks with all these agencies, programs shut down, figuring out, look, do we need to turn these things back on? Which one of them have truly had impacts on truly bring value to American citizens and determine which ones don't, which ones haven't had impacts over the last three weeks that they've been shut down? The second thing that I think is really important is that we really need to look at the federal government, the state government and the local government and stop having duplicates and triplicates and programs and efforts. Where can we consolidate? Where can we have one level of government be responsible and perform a duty instead of having three different layers of the same capability, taxpayers paying for the same thing three times over again? I think those are two areas where we have a big opportunity to save hundreds of billions of dollars as we further consolidate or reduce spending.
- [37:01]
B
Congressman Sean said, I know you left Congress very, very frustrated about the spending problem because that's what it is, your time in Congress. So did you ever come across a Democrat who found an area of government that they did want to cut? And I'm meaning this serious, I'm not making a joke, was there ever like a major area of government that they wanted to cut?
- [37:22]
E
I remember I worked with former Congressman Joe Kennedy on a bill where we were trying to eliminate this bureaucratic process where a constituent had to fill out a piece of paper and mail it to you in order to get assistance. And we were able to save millions of dollars and put an online system in place to where you could get help faster from your member of Congress. So Congressman Kennedy and I did work on that one. But, but look, I think, Amanda, going back to the previous administration under the Biden administration, you saw programs like the American Rescue Plan, like the CHIPS act, like the infrastructure bill that they did, and this so called ira, that was a big energy giveaway bill. While I don't want to paint with an overly broad brush and say every single thing in those bills was, was absurd. Those were trillions, not millions, not billions, trillions of dollars in extra spending. Expanding government, getting government calling, calling human infrastructure an area of infrastructure where the federal government needed to invest. It was this gross expansion getting the federal government invested to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars trying to force energy markets in directions where markets don't want to go and can't be sustained. And so this is an opportunity to refocus government back on the things that government needs to be doing, putting them at the appropriate levels at state, federal and local and stop this ridiculousness. Because we are on an unsustainable trajectory. And of course, some would argue that we're already there.
- [39:00]
A
Yeah, I think you're right. A lot of people deeply concerned about it. Congressman, we miss your passion, we miss your wisdom in this town. But it's so good to have you on the show today. Thanks for joining us.

Welcome back everybody. Arthritis is something that millions of Americans sadly deal with every single day, especially older adults. But here's something very surprising. The way that your body reacts to arthritis inflammation is actually very similar to how it responds to COVID 19. So joining us now to talk about how to help, he is world renowned doctor and Chief Scientific Officer at the Wellness Company. He's also the author of the new book Vaccines, Mythology, Ideology and Reality. An excellent read. I encourage all of you to go get it. Dr. Peter McCullough. Dr. McCullough, thanks so much for being here. Thank you Sarah. I want to definitely get into that study about Americans at risk for cancer, but I want to start with this. How did we find this out? That the way that your body deals with inflammation from arthritis is similar to Covid?
- [42:44]
I
As it turns out that the COVID 19 viral infection turns on multiple inflammatory pathways. Many are similar to that of common arthritis, what we call osteoarthritis. Clearly, Covid vaccination can cause autoimmune arthritis with associated blood tests being positive, the ANA rheumatoid factor and the anti citrulated peptide. The bottom line is as we begin to clear spike protein from the system with the ultimate spike detox and importantly leverage a natural antiarthritic drug which is, you know, available as a, as a, as a supplement, curcumin patients. Arthritis gets better.
- [43:31]
A
That's amazing, just amazing. So I want to talk about Dr. Kim's study, the one that just came out of South Korea. It is stunning in what we're learning about COVID 19. And of course by injecting the spike protein, perhaps the vaccines are also contributing to this. Tell us what Dr. Kim found in that study.
- [43:51]
I
Yeah, this is a very disturbing report. South Korea chemists. The first author was published in BMC Biomarkers, 8.4 million Koreans. And they had them categorized into unvaccinated and vaccinated, then matched across other confounders like age and gender. Now these are one year risks. One year. And keep this in mind. This would all need validation with clinical chart review and biopsies. But this is what we know from their codified data, which is pretty strong. Those who took a vaccine, whether it's a messenger RNA vaccine, adenoviral or even an antigen based vaccine. And there they use the Sinovac corona vaccine, Covid vaccines associated with a 27% overall increased risk of cancer in men, prostate cancer in both sexes, lung, thyroid, gastric and colon. And then in women, breast cancer. So it looks like the term turbo cancer is real. These are one year risks. Remember, with a broad vaccination program, we should never see increased risk of cancer. We should have had the oncogenicity testing done before they were released. Sadly it wasn't. Now we have this result.
- [45:07]
B
I think if a lot of people knew that there was a risk of cancer or at least a higher propensity for cancer, I think they would have thought, definitely thought twice about getting it. But I think that people also would have been thought, would have thought twice about getting it if they had known the truth about ivermectin, its safety, its efficacy. And now I know the wellness company is making that available as well. Tell us about it.
- [45:29]
I
Remember, Ivermectin is a prescription drug. So it is available through the wellness company, you know, with approval by one of the wellness company doctors. We have it alone and in combination with mebenazole, more and more preclinical studies and now a clinical trial underway by UCLA Cedars using Ivermectin, you know, added on to conventional treatments for cancer, surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. All of it looks positive right now. So ivermectin, a diverse drug, originally an antiparasitic, now antiviral, now antineoplastic. The good news about ivermectin, very well tolerated, is probably one of the safest drugs we have to prescribe.
- [46:10]
A
Yeah, pretty remarkable. All right, so since the last time I had you on doctor, a bunch of people texted me. They're very interested in the GLP1 product that you're doing. It's pretty simple to do. You don't need an injection. Tell us first what it is, how it works, and then what sort of stories you're hearing about it.
- [46:25]
I
We're talking about glucagon, like peptides. These are peptides that are mimicked by the injections Ozempic and Zepbound and, and others. Manjaro in that class. Wellness company has a breakthrough is topically applied peptides in a drop formula. It's retatrutride, which is actually the best of all the GLP1 drugs. So it works on three different receptors and one can self modulate administration of drop through a dropper bottle and then simply into a glass of water. It's odorless and tasteless and boy, are we seeing good results. It helps with this control over urges and appetite. It can be combined with other wellness company products that actually further help curb appetite. And that combined with a great diet and a great fitness program. Now we have all three together and patients can lose weight and they can really do it on their own without taking shots or injections.
- [47:21]
B
And what about the safety issue? Because I know with traditional GLP1s, the injection type, that there are significant safety issues. What about with this one?
- [47:30]
I
We haven't seen the safety issues with a topically applied peptide. We're keeping a careful watch. Remember, they're regulated differently by the FDA and Federal Trade Commission, respectively. But we believe it's far safer. One of the problems with the shots is that they're high dose and once the injection is done, it's done weekly. We can't take it back. You can't stop it if there's a problem, let's say the development of nausea, vomiting or pancreatitis or heaven forbid, medullary C cell carcinoma. The problem with the injections is I think they have too much of a permanence that's the reason why people are moving to the drops because if we have any problems, we simply can stop them.
- [48:05]
A
Stop them.
- [48:06]
B
Yeah, absolutely. Dr. Peter McCullough, thank you so much for being here. We love hearing about this. And to our viewers, I have a message for all of you. Remember when they told us that Ivermectin didn't work? Well, now thankfully we know because of this conversation we just had with Dr. McCullough. It turns out that it is helping with skin issues, arthritis, even cancer research. And you can get Ivermectin today. So go to TWC Health Just News and use code just news for 10% off your order.

Welcome back everybody. John, an excellent piece over@justthenews.com hundreds upon hundreds, I think 650 rabbis signing on to this letter opposing Zoran Mamdani in New York City. And I just saw a report from Interfaith Alliance. There's a video that's floating around out there and we have not yet verified it, but there is, John. You look at what traditional Muslims believe as far as social issues and what Zoran Mamdani wants to do, especially with respect to prostitution and things like that in New York City. And you can see how there might be members of his own religious faction who are pushing back against his mayoralship.
- [50:30]
A
Yeah, I think that's a really remarkable moment. The last few weeks this election are going to be really historic moments in Electoral politics. Normally, you know, mayor's race is a mayor's race, but what happens in New York City is going to matter to the whole world. Along with what's going on in Minneapolis and Seattle. We have two more candidates with sort of these socialist type policies. How I think people are reckoning with. Wait a second. I haven't been thinking about this guy. He said what he was hanging out with, who he said, what about Egypt? I think there's this awakening going on that could have a really profound effect. And even if he wins, I think Americans are going to be more on guard for the rise of these type of politicians going forward. This is a learning moment. This is sort of one of those moments that could have a 10 or 20 year impact on American politics, on American economics, because what Mandani is proposing is so antithetical to what our founding fathers based this country on. He's talked about taxing by race. Right. He's talked about hanging out with an imam who was named as an unindicted co conspirator in a terrorism case. He doesn't seem to repudiate in any way the sort of evil rhetoric of people that he's hung around with. And you got that. You got what's going on with the Virginia Attorney General's candidate. Some really, really significant things that these new wage, new wave, I guess, new age, new wave socialist candidates are putting on Americans plate for the first time. Things we've never had to deal with in elections. And no matter the outcome of November 4th, I think these issues are going to linger and become bigger issues in 2026.
- [52:12]
B
Yeah, well, and you mentioned Virginia and that made me think of these comments on msnbc, a roundtable discussion about how misogyny is playing a role when it's a female in the race. And they brought, brought up the case of Abigail Spanberger. And I just kept thinking what everyone else was speaking. Are they not aware that she is running against winsome Earl Sears, a female?
- [52:33]
A
Yeah, yeah, well, facts never matter to msnbc, it seems like. Right. Every time you look at them. Listen, speaking of NBC, Ken Delaney, one of their regular contributors, reporter, I guess, if that's what you call him. He reported today that Todd Blanche and the US Attorney looking at the case against Senator Adam Schiff for mortgage fraud, that they didn't believe the case was very strong. Now most times the Justice Department would ignore a story like this, but they came out and outright, downright, unequivocally denied that that story is true. And we're talking about the guy that was in the conversation saying that simply did not happen. This was one of those anonymous source stories. Very rare to see the Justice Department knock down a private conversation about a pending case. But apparently it's so far off that the deputy attorney general felt compelled that it had to be knocked down. I think that MSNBC's record of accuracy is on a daily basis, I think, coming under greater assault and also greater scrutiny. And I think that's good. It's time to start calling out the people who are consistently wrong about stories.
- [53:41]
B
Yeah, John, you're going to have to take us out because I lost my clock. But when it comes to the government shutdown, John, you know, we've had a lot of members of Congress on the show, a lot of political prognosticators, and I don't get any sense that either side is going to relent at all. How long do you think this is going to last?
- [54:00]
A
I think it's going to go into November. Could even stretch into the Thanksgiving time frame. I think around that time, it'll probably become onerous because the unions for federal workers would go to Democrats saying, we're still not paid. We can't make Christmas. But I think it's going to take that and it'll be Democrats who blink first. I think that'll be the key dynamic. But this is a long shutdown, and I think the congressman said to us pretty wisely, we've realized now, three weeks into this, do we really miss any of these agencies? And most of them answer is no. No. We just need to get the people pay to go back. And I do think that that is the opportunity. Republicans come out and say we can cut 30% because nobody noticed it was gone. That'll be a big moment for us. All right, Amanda. It's hard to believe this. They zipped by. But, folks, go check out the good stories we have on just the news, particularly that one from Chuck Grassley. How high up did Arctic Frost go? To the very top of the Biden administration. Go check out all the details there. We'll be back tomorrow night with another great show. Until then, we're gonna hand things off to the amazing Grant Stitchfeld back tomorrow night. God bless you. Have a great night.
