Speaker 1 (00:20):
Good evening, America. Welcome to the Monday edition of Justin News.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Though noise.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
I'm your host, John Solomon, reporting to you as always
from Washington, DC and the Witerfishcoffee dot com studios. Waterfish

Speaker 2 (00:46):
Go check them out today.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
All right, we open the show with breaking news. And
when I mean breaking news, I mean just seconds ago.
It's on my phone, just a few seconds ago. David
Wise transmitted his final report on the Hunter Biden Biden
family scandal. Use has got an early copy of it.
It's not out publicly yet. It saves its harshest words,
not for Hunter Biden, but for President Joe Biden, saying
(01:08):
that the President had no right to suggest that his
son was singled out unfairly for prosecution, and that doing
so harmed the entire system in America for justice and
also was an attempt in his own words, These are
David Wise's own words to rewrite history. I'm just going
to read you three paragraphs I quickly pulled out as
I got a copy of this report. Politicians who attacked
(01:29):
the decisions of caer prosecutors as politically motivate it when
they disagree with the outcome of a case undermined the
public's confidence in our criminal justicism. David wisrode the President's
statements unfairly impune the integrity not only the Department of
Justice personnel, but of all public servants making these difficult
decisions and good faith calling the rulings that allowed his
(01:51):
son to be prosecuted. This is something that Joe Biden said,
the check courts treated his son unfairly, calling those rulings
into question and injecting partisanship into the independent administry of
the law undermines the very foundation of what makes America's
justice system fair and equitable. It erodes public confidence in
an institution that is essential to.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Preserving the rule of law.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
In one final quote, because this one's directly aimed at
President Biden's decision to pardon his son, to erase all
the criminal acts from his record. The Constitution provides a
president with broad authority to grant reprieves and pardons for
offenses committed against the United States, but nowhere does the
Constitution give the president.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
The authority to rewrite history.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Harsh direct words from the Justice Department system, by the way,
Joe Biden's own Justice Department. This prosecutor works for Merrick
Carlin in repudiating President Biden for the comments he made
suggesting that Hunter Biden had no basis being charged. He
obviously clearly strongly disagrees, and of course he was convicted
by a jury in one case and pled guilty in another.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
We have a.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Perfect lineup today to discuss his breaking news. In a
few seconds, we're going to bring in Congresswoman Harriet Hageman
for the great state of Wyoming. But first let me
turn to my amazing co host, Amanda had Amanda, it
just happened as we were getting on here here.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Kind of funny that Joe Biden.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Who said he was going to honor the justice system
gets rebuked Biden this final week in office.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Yeah, you know, I mean, the good news I suppose
for Hunter Biden is that he'll never see those what
was it seventeen years behind bars that he possibly faced.
The unfortunate thing is that this is a dark shadow
on our history. And not just because Hunter Biden, as
a member of the presidential family, allegedly reportedly committed these crimes,
but it's also the reaction of Joe Biden. It is
(03:40):
the incessant besmirching of people like Gary Shapley and Joseph
Ziegler and other members of the irs, of James Coomer,
of Jim Jordan, of Jason Smith, of David Weiss, of
other members of the DOJ. It's the repetitive lies that
he wouldn't barden Hunter Biden. It's all of that wrapped
up into one that I think for the American people.
(04:02):
While this might be the closing of the book on
this entire investigation into corruption of Hunter Biden, I happen
to know there are a few members of Congress who
are not going to let that bone go. So I
don't think that this is the total end of everything.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Jim Jordan is saying on Friday that they're going to
continue the investigation of Hunter Biden get to the bottom
of how much national security may have been compromised. I
think that's going to be an important endeavor.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Let's start to our first cash.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
She's been on top of this case from the beginning,
one of the most eloquent voices in Congress when it
comes to the political corruption that the Biden family committed.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Joining us from the Grace Sta Wyoming.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
I think she's actually in Washington today, Congresswoman Harriet Hagerman,
congress Woman, good to have you on.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Yes, it's wonderful to be on with you. I just
returned to d C yesterday.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Good to have you on. Welcome, Happy New Year. There's
a lot to think about in the closure of this
element of the Hunter Biden case. But the idea that
Joe Biden came in to the presidency say I'm going
to restore trust Justice Department getting repudiated by that same
Justice Department out the door kind of an interesting turn
of events.
Speaker 5 (05:07):
It's an interesting turn of events.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
But the way that you need to look at this,
or that we all should be looking at this, is
it isn't just focusing on Hunter Biden. The reality is
is that it was the corruption of the Biden family,
including Joe Biden, and that's why we were so interested
in what happened here and John you said it, which is,
to what extent has our national security been compromised because
of the activities and actions of Hunter Biden. I constantly
(05:32):
have to question the position that this administration has taken
it with regard to China, what we're seeing with the
drones on the East Coast and even in Wyoming, the
Chinese spy balloon that was allowed to traverse the entirety
of the entire United States, the situation in Ukraine with
spending another five hundred million dollars there in the last
(05:54):
week that he's in office. All of these are countries
that had contact with and we're paying Hunter Biden masks
amounts of money. And that's why this is an important
issue for the American people, because we cannot allow family
members of elected officials to be able to sell our
country to the highest bidder of foreign countries.
Speaker 6 (06:13):
Yeah, that's exactly absolutely, Congressman, Before we move on, what
marks the end of these investigations, because I know there's
still plenty to look into in your own judiciary, I'm
wondering what can possibly be the marker to conclude this.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
Well, I think that this report is very important because, yes,
Joe Biden did pardon his son for literally ten years
of actions, which is part of what just shocks the conscience.
And so that door has been closed, that chapter is over.
But at the same time, we need to make sure
that we understand to what extent our foreign policy has
(06:49):
been dictated by these relationships. And I think that that's
an ongoing investigation until we get to the bottom of it.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
I guess I'll just follow up on that because that
wou'd be interesting to know if the intelligence communities ever
did a damage assessment for the behavior that Hunter Biden
engaged in. About a year ago, I was able to
get documents from the State Department in which George Kent,
who had been an impeachment witness against Donald Trump and
nineteen but never mentioned this during his testimony, but he
wrote his bosses saying that Hunter Biden undercut the US
(07:16):
anti corruption efforts in Ukraine. Do you think that's one
of the things that maybe Congress this year could get
any damage assessments Intelligence Committee may have done.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
I think it is very important that we understand and
do those kinds of damage assessments, not only with Ukraine,
but China. There are other countries. Romania is another one.
That he earned quite a bit of money from. So
there are several countries that are not necessarily friendly to
the United States, and they potentially have long term implications
for foreign policies. So I think, to the extent that
(07:46):
we need to get to the bottom of any one
of those, it's important that we continue to look into
Hunter Biden and Joe Biden's activities.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Yeah, really important stuff.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Congresswoman. As I look back at your election to Congress,
there are so many idioms that I can think of.
They probably aren't appropriate for air to describe exactly how
you beat Liz Cheney to win that seat. And then
she turned around, Joe Biden gives her the Presidential Medal
of Freedom. Do you think that the people of your
state appreciated that?
Speaker 5 (08:16):
No, not at all.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
And really that was a reflection on the fact that
she did the bidding of the Democrats and Joe Biden
with the January sixth committee rather than actually moving forward
with a legitimate investigation as to what happened that day.
The point of that committee really should have been to
look at what went wrong, why did it happen in
terms of the breach into the Capitol or those kinds
(08:38):
of things. Why were people able to do some of
the things that they did.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
But in addition to which, to what.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Extent were their FBI agents involved, To what extent was
there an entrapment.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
Activity at taking place.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
That's what a legitimate committee would have actually looked at
to make sure that something like that didn't happen again.
It was politicized from the beginning. Liz Cheney chose the
wrong team. The state of WM and my fellow citizens
made the decision that we did not want her representing
us anymore. And when you look at the video of
her receiving that award, it is one of the most
cringe worthy videos I've ever seen. She was terribly uncomfortable.
(09:13):
He wouldn't let go over hand. I thought that it
was kind of a bizarre circumstance that we were watching.
It didn't elevate Liz Cheney to anybody, but it did
I think cause serious damage to the integrity of the
award itself.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Yeah, it was such an awkward moment. You said it right.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
It just felt completely off script. It didn't feel right
at all for Washington. There are a lot of things
that Congress under the Democrats and the Biden administration under
Joe Biden imposed on the American people things that aren't
true that need to be undone. How important is it
for history's sake to go back and perhaps correct the
(09:50):
official record of January sixth, official record of the Ukraine impeachment,
which we now know is based on some evidence that
was far different than what we were told that time.
Is there an appetite among Republicans who I don't want
to fix tomorrow's problems today to go back and also
do something for history.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
I think that it is important that history is accurate.
And as they say, those who cannot remember the past
are condemned to repeat them. And if we shove everything
under the rug and don't actually tell the truth to
the extent that our FBI has become corrupted and politicized,
then we're going to have a corrupt and politicized FBI.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
And I think probably one of.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
The ways that we're going to be able to address
these issues is perhaps through the nominees of Donald Trump.
I'm hoping that Cash Patel will come in and clean
up the FBI.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
It needs it.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
Everybody understands that it needs it. Are there some good
people who work for the FBI? Absolutely are there field
workers that do a great job, absolutely, but the FBI
has lost its way. It lost its way under bul Learn,
it lost its way under Chris Ray, It's lost its
way under Mary Garland.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
Those are things that need to be fixed.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
But hopefully we're getting nominees in place who will come
in and actually look at what is going on, look
under the hood, start looking around and identify those things
that need to be fixed. Where I believe the judiciary
would come into place specifically on that issue, is bringing
in cash Ptel or some of his deputies to talk
about what they found.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
And I think that's.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
Where we could expose the corruption of this administration in
these agencies and how they've been able to go rogue
the way that they have. So that's the way that
I would approach this is, let's find out what happened
over the last four years by bringing in the people
that Donald Trump is going to be appointing.
Speaker 5 (11:33):
To fix them.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
What a great idea makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Absolutely, Congresswoman, you also serve on natural resources, and you
come from a state that is so rich in natural resources,
and you guys do a wonderful job of managing that
and environmental policies and managerial policies when it comes to forestry.
Right now, we are looking at a very dire situation
when it comes to management in California, and our state
leaders and our city leaders are looking to blame everyone
(12:00):
but themselves. What wisdom do you think the state of
Wyoming could offer to California to hopefully never see something
like this ever again.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
Well, first of.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
All, we have got to stop using global warming and
climate change as the excuse to destroy the environment. And
that's where we are right now. You have a Gavin
Newsome that the mayor of Los Angeles, the entire Democrat
Party has been overtaken by radical environmentalism that has creating
(12:30):
such severe environmental degradation, whether it is in our water infrastructure,
our water supplies, what we're seeing out in California with
these catastrophic forest fires, at catastrophic fires, and also the lack.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
Of forest management.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
So much of this goes back to the two thousand
and one Roadless Rule, which was one of the things
the last things that Bill Clinton did when he was
at office, and it was designed to deny access, management
and use to fifty eight point five million acres of
National Forest Service lands. We have it improved the government
in the last twenty five years, but we've seen an
awful lot of our.
Speaker 5 (13:03):
Forest burned to the ground.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
And that's what you're seeing out in California, the fact
that they did not manage their water resources. California has
the same water infrastructure in place today with forty million
people that they had in the nineteen sixties with sixteen
million people. They have utterly and completely failed their citizens
by refusing to build the infrastructure necessary to provide them
(13:25):
with adequate energy supplies, electricity, water, and being able to
address something that could be this catastrophic. Is this a
terrible situation, Yes, it is, But I have to keep
going back to when this started happening early last week.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
Who was in charge. The mayor was out of the country.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
The governor even said yesterday he's not going to say
that the buck stops with him. If you watch that interview,
these people are not serious people. They are not the
kind of people that you want as leaders. They are preneers.
They go in front of a camera. They can say
nice and silly words, but they don't actually do what
the citizens of this country need them to do to
(14:04):
protect their communities and make sure that they have the
resources necessary to address something that could start. I'm not
even going to say of this magnitude this has been created.
That the magnitude that we're facing right now, the catastrophe
we're facing, is because the reservoirs were empty, they didn't
have the infrastructure in place, they haven't been capturing water.
(14:25):
They released fifty percent of the water from the reservoirs
for instream flow and to flow.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
Out to the ocean.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
That's just that's not only silly, it is almost criminal
in the sense of their failure to actually address the
needs of their own citizens. I do not understand the
inhumanity of it. I do not understand the cruelty of it.
But they sound awfully good when they spot off about
global warming and climate change, because then they don't actually
(14:51):
have to solve problems and figure out how to provide infrastructure.
Speaker 5 (14:55):
The rest of us are tired of this.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
It is time that California step up and actually start
producing and building things that they need to make sure
that they can serve theirs and protect their citizenry.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
I'm pretty sure I just heard a loud cheer coming
from California as you were talking, Congressman, and I think
you hit that one right on the head. It's time
as the citizens actually got thought of in this whole process.
What a great honor to have you on the show.
I know one thing, Wyoming citizens, though, you got their back.
Great to having the show today. Thanks for joining us.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
All right, folks, are going to take a quick commercial break.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
When we come back, we're going to talk to two
former Navy seals who are on the front lines in
Washington right now supporting Pete Hexiths for his nomination as
Defense Secretary. We'll have that right after these messages. Hey,
it's a new day in America and a new administration
in Washington, d C. There is a lot of excitement
(15:46):
and optimism about the future, but the reality is there's
a lot of work to do as well, especially when
it comes to fixing our broken healthcare system. The truth
is that the forces that are responsible for breaking our
healthcare system aren't going to simply go away. Hey, the
challenges our system faces won't disappear overnight. Now more than ever,
you need to be prepared. That's where the Wellness Company

Speaker 3 (17:03):
Welcome back to just the News, No Noise. All of
Washington is gearing up for the confirmation battles of President
Trump's nominees, and front and center among those battles is
that for Pete hegg Seth, Trump's pick for Secretary of Defense,
And it seems said a few weeks ago heegsas nominations
seemed like it was dead in the water but he
stayed in and he weathered the media attacks, and now
it seems like he's got a pretty good, even a
(17:25):
great chance of being confirmed. And there are two Navy
seals who are making sure those senators in DC here
that heg Seth would make a great Defense secretary. Those
two former Navy seals are Bill Brown and Rob Sweetman,
who've brought hundreds of military veterans to DC for a
march in support of Pete Hegseth, and they are both
here with us tonight to discuss this. Bill and Rod,
(17:46):
thank you so much for joining us.
Speaker 7 (17:49):
Thanks a lot for having us.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Thank you, Bill.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
I'll go to you first. I have not witnessed this
in my lifetime where a potential Pentagon chief has hundreds
of veterans come up to Capitol Hill and march on
Washington and the support of him. What is it that
is so special about Pete Hegsath or so qualifying about
him that that made that happen.
Speaker 8 (18:11):
Well, it goes to his leadership qualities. It's courage and vision.
Now you say, we've never seen this before, We've never
seen so many veterans get so passionate about a secretary
of Defense. No meinan Well, here's the reason why, because
our military is off the tracks and we're concerned. We
(18:34):
put in our life for our country. Look, it doesn't
take a military genius to realize that. Guess what, given
trillions of military dollars of military equipment to our enemies
was like leader leadership in the Pentagon absolutely failed us.
What do you think is going to happen with that
was all that military equipment they wanted jihadist re bent
(18:57):
on against our way of democratic and free will of life.
Speaker 7 (19:01):
And then think about the other things that the.
Speaker 8 (19:04):
Pentagon failed to speak up about. Think about a Chinese
fiber that overtly goes over some of the most sensitive
military installations in our nation.
Speaker 7 (19:14):
And they don't shoot it down. Nobody in the Pentagon
said hey, what are we doing here?
Speaker 8 (19:19):
Or think about the fact that they had an open
border and that's not even talk.
Speaker 7 (19:24):
About, like we're not going to vet people coming across.
Speaker 8 (19:27):
And look what happened in New York when someone gets
burned alive because you don't probably bet people. Well, you
want to talk about COVID and what type of who
knows what type of elements could become a US But
let's talk about the military perspective now. But the advanced
technology out there is sophisticated and portable weapon systems. You
saw what happened to us on nine to eleven. You
(19:49):
saw what happened to Israel on October seven. You can't
have an open border with that type of military technology
out there.
Speaker 7 (19:58):
There's poortpole weapon systems.
Speaker 8 (20:00):
That can create mass horror, and you have our adversaries
out there, all these different intelligence agencies, you have all
these Jahadist networks. That was a huge national security concerned
to put us all at risk, every one of us.
Speaker 7 (20:17):
Imagine what could happen to any major city in this nation.
Speaker 8 (20:21):
And nobody in the Pentagon said, look, we need to
close that border because it's making us all unsafe on
a national security rep level. Nobody or nobody said maybe
we shouldn't give trades of dollars.
Speaker 7 (20:33):
Of military weapons to our enemies. Or even now they're
given millions of dollars to the Taliban Jahatis. You know,
when we were there, women went to school, women voting.
Speaker 8 (20:46):
Now they've treated worse than secondhand citizens. You want to think, okay,
let's talk about humanity, let's talk about civil rights. You
know what's happening to those women there, or let's talk
about all the Afghanistans that wanted a better life there themselves,
their moms, their daughters, and now what happened? And now
(21:07):
look what there were honey down there were tortured and
killed with our own weapons. It's a complete and utter disgrace.
That's why we're That's why we're upset. That's why so
many seals and veterans are coming together saying what the
hell is going on with the Pentagon? Pete hadscept with
(21:27):
the loudest voice. He had the courage to speak up
what others didn't, and he did it out of love.
Speaker 7 (21:34):
He did out of love.
Speaker 8 (21:35):
Because he's been to Iraq, he's been to Afghanis, and
he was like.
Speaker 7 (21:39):
All of us, what the hell is going on in
the Pentagon? In the military, what's going on? They've lost
their focus.
Speaker 8 (21:47):
They got sidetrackeded to this woke ideology instead of focusing
on what matters.
Speaker 7 (21:53):
That is doing whatever it takes to protect American citizens and.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Getting that back on mission is so important. And it's
where Pete, I know, has put a lot of his
focus on Over the last few years. He's really set
a good goal for that, Rob, I want to turn
for you to a second. How did you for How
did you two guys first meet Pete? My understanding is
it I had to do with a really fun event
I know Bill organizes every year.
Speaker 9 (22:14):
Well, that's a great question. Bill, I got to tell you,
is one of the most inspirational people in mind. When
I came out to New York City the first time
to do that swim Brother, that was life changing, and
in fact, my biggest concern was that this whole woke
ideology was going to bleed into the New York City
people and maybe they were going to come and boo
(22:37):
at us and they wouldn't be supportive of the American flag.
Speaker 7 (22:41):
That's what I had in my mind.
Speaker 9 (22:42):
And I showed up and I had quite the different experience.
That was the most patriotic event that I've ever been to,
and that has inspired me to do lots of different things.
And every year we come out there in full force
to support Bill, to support unity in the United States
and fly those American flags.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
There's nothing like watching name jump into the Hudson River.
That's pretty awesome.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Amen, Amen, Rob, I want to stay on you for
just a moment. You know, there have been a number
of conflicts that have cropped up over this country under
this president and under this Secretary of Defense, Loud Austin.
What is it about Pete Hegset that you think will
or is there something about him that you think will
alleviate those pressures and those conflicts and possibly prevent further
(23:25):
ones from popping up.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (23:28):
Absolutely, So what we're dealing with is another politician in
the role of Secretary of Defense, and we've seen failures
like we've never seen before, things that we never thought
would happen. My kids will always remember the visualization, the
picture of Afghani's hanging on to airplanes as they fly
(23:50):
off goodbye. That's all we said. Overnight, America just left
and it created a terrible power vacuum. Matter that as
well as then, we have eight thousand service members that
were forced to take the JAB and refuse to and
we're exited out of their beautiful career, both in the
seal teams as well as other jobs in the military.
(24:11):
And just over and over we're seeing this failure. So
the question of should it be another flagged officer that
comes into this role, that's not the answer because it's
not working now. And so what I find beautiful about
bringing in mister Hegseth is that he has been to combat.
(24:31):
I can't stress that enough. He is one of us.
He's been down there. He knows the price that we pay.
He knows the difficult decisions that have to be made
that people don't want to talk about to keep this
country safe. Can we really say that about the politicians
making choices that devastate lives and then say something like no,
(24:52):
I have no regrets. We need accountability, we need experience,
we need trust more than anything, and we need a vision.
And that is what Pete Hegseth is clearly defined for us.
And I think that's why Trump picked him, because this
guy can get the job done. This is who we need.
We need a fresh start in this guy.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Yeah, there's no doubt about it. Bell. I want to
turn to you for a second.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
This is an old playbook when there's a nominee and
the opposition wants to third dirt at them. We've seen
him many times, but today's something very important came out
the service record of Pete Hexith and the extraordinary evaluations
he got in wartime conflict. How important is it to
refocus the public on the true facts and not some
of the innuendo that's been out there.
Speaker 7 (25:37):
Well, you know there's that's kind of their playbook, right.
Speaker 8 (25:42):
They know they can't beat you on the merrit so
they tried to slam it before the fatch come out.
And you know one of the things that Pete did,
and he and President Trump scept the example, he didn't flinch,
and Pete followed, Shoot, he didn't flinch. He you know,
that's what they tried to do. They tried to slander
him out of the race.
Speaker 7 (26:02):
They tried to slander them even before he could get
a fair hearing.
Speaker 8 (26:07):
And he didn't flintch and he fought back, disclike Trump
after he got shot, what did he say?
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Fight?
Speaker 8 (26:13):
Fight, fight, And that's what we're doing. Things have gotten
so bad now for too.
Speaker 7 (26:19):
Long, good men and women haven't stood up.
Speaker 8 (26:21):
For too long, good men and women and the police
and our law enforcement communities didn't stand up, and they
got slandered.
Speaker 7 (26:28):
And can you imagine. We're proud of our uniforms. We're
proud that we serve.
Speaker 8 (26:33):
And to have you like they treated the Vietnam veterans,
to treat like they treated our police officers. We had
enough of it, and now we're starting to stand up.
And that's what Pete did, That's what Trump did, and that's.
Speaker 7 (26:46):
What we're doing.
Speaker 8 (26:47):
We're saying, Look, we're gonna we're gonna follow Martin Luther
King's example. We're gonna hold the moral high ground, but
we want our leaders in the city and we want our.
Speaker 7 (26:57):
Entire nation to know where the warfighters stand. We're not.
We knew who Pete was.
Speaker 8 (27:04):
I can't tell you how many veterans that served with Pete.
Today we're at our press conference telling about what a
great honor was to serve with Pete, what a great
leader he was, how he was he loved his men,
and some of the things that Pete talked about were
out of love. When he talked about what the woke
eye ideology was doing, when they were actually lowering the
(27:26):
standards to get the results they wanted. That puts us
all in danger because there's no second place in war.
And Pete he was going to take fire from it.
But he stood up and said the hard thing, and
that's real leadership, and that you know what you don't
and dependent on the leadership.
Speaker 7 (27:45):
Now you look at the fiasco in Afghanistan.
Speaker 8 (27:48):
You need two things to win the war. You need
the tactical advantage and then you know what you need.
You need accountability. You need discipline. If you don't have
dis win right, you're not gonna win. And if you
don't have accountability, you're not gonna have discipline. No one's
been helping.
Speaker 7 (28:08):
What happened to after Gainnis game? All those generals, all
those Oak Wars and above guess what twelve they should
be fired? They suck, They suck. They gave of dollars
of enemies to our enemy. They let it open up with.
Speaker 8 (28:25):
Borders, get and speak up, put us a bend me
to the woke ideology, or they were silent.
Speaker 7 (28:31):
They gotta go.
Speaker 8 (28:32):
They gotta go because they put us at all at risk.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Powerful.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
I do believe discipline and accountability are coming. If Pete
Hegseth has been for former Navy seals Bill Brown and
Rob Sweetman, thank you both so much for your service,
and thank you for doing what you were doing up
there on Capitol Hill, and thanks for being with us.
All right, everybody coming up. Jack Smith and resigned last week,
but he is not done making the news. We'll explain that.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Welcome back in America. Such a momentous day. We're going
through this David Weis's report right now, and Hunter Biden's
kind of funny. The man who almost gave the greatest
sweetheart deal to Hunter Biden spends most of his report
focused on Joe Biden. Maybe he was a little upset
that Joe Biden ended up causing this whole kerfuffle for
him by actually insisting that his son get off easy.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
But we don't know. But I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
We've got one of the best legal correspondents in the
country with us right now. She's a senior leagual correspondent
the Federals. I read her off and she is amazing.
Margot Cleavean's with us. Margo, great to have you on
the show.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
Well, thanks so much.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
All right.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
I know it has just came out a few minutes ago,
so it hasn't been a lot of time to digest it.
But David Weise saying Joe Biden basically has done a
disservice to the administration of Justice and tried to revise
history by saying his son was a victim of the
criminal justice system.
Speaker 10 (29:55):
How say you, Well, she's absolutely right. Although I I
would say for Wise to be the one coming out
here is pretty shocking, given it took two whistleblowers for
this case actually to go through as much as it did.
And don't forget that we had some of the earlier
actions the statute limitations ran because no one was willing
(30:19):
to force the issue with the Joe Biden administration.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Great points, Margo.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
Joe Biden pardening Hunter. That kind of put the kibosh
on the investigative side of things, at least from the
DJ's perspective. But you do have ongoing and subsequent investigations
in the House. What is there left to learn, do
you think?
Speaker 10 (30:41):
Well, I still think there's much more to learn about
all of the money trails. We still don't have all
of the financial records, we still don't know Joe Biden's
full involvement here, and there's other issues that come up
with Jim Biden as well. But I would expect as
he is leaving the White House, he will be pardoning
(31:01):
them as well.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Yeah, I think you're right, that's something we all got
to be looking for.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
When you look out over the last six or seven years,
Americans were given one set of stories during the twenty
nine impeachment of Donald Trump, and by twenty twenty five
that those stories don't you will look remotely true. There
really was a drifting scream. There really was a reason
to ask for someone to investigate Hunter Biden and Joe Biden.
Do you think the American people have caught up with
(31:27):
the fact that, if not, is there an obligation for
us in the media in Congress to make sure they
understand what they were sold in nineteen was a different
story than today.
Speaker 10 (31:37):
I think they do know the facts already. They might
not know the chapter and verse of what exactly was happening,
who he was getting money from, but the main point
that there was corruption going on, that our government was
covering it up, and that the legacy media was part
and parcel with that.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
I think the public knows.
Speaker 10 (31:59):
And that is you're seeing such disregard for what the
legacy media is doing. They're unable to control the narrative anymore.
And I think it was COVID, and I think it
was the Hunter Biden along with the fifty one former
National security advisors who came out and said that Hunter
Biden laptop was Russian disinformation. I think the public no
(32:21):
longer trusts the media.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
Yeah, I think you're right, Margo.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
Though Jack Smith has resigned, his specter is still about
in the form of this January sixth report. But Donald
Trump's election has been certified. He will put his hand
on the Bible a week from today, and that's it
was the point of putting this out there, regardless to
damage President Trump, is it to try to appear that
(32:47):
his ultimate goal is justice. What do you think the
motivating factor was.
Speaker 10 (32:52):
I think the motivating factors to get the reports out
is the continuation of the law fare what they did
in two thousands sixteen, and it basically interfered with the
first term President Trump had. I think that's what they
hope that this report will do, that this report will
be a continuation of tying the hands of Trump by
(33:14):
creating this separate news story of what is going on.
But here again, I think that the American public recognizes
that this is not significant, that it is a one
sided view here, and that really it is part of
the get Trump area. And I don't think the media
(33:35):
the public is going to care. But I would just
say we still don't know if Volume one is coming out.
Everyone has been reporting it as that Cannon said, it
comes out she really only denied one motion. There's still
two more motions, and until midnight she could still enter
an injunction, saying I need a few more days to
(33:56):
decide Trump's motion to intervene before I release. I'm not
sure which way that's gonna fly. But even if she
orders it released, it is horrendous that Attorney General of
Garland would release volume one because it implicates not just
Trump but dozens of other individuals who are under indictment
(34:20):
in Georgia and Arizona and Michigan. And this is a
violation of their due process right. So whether or not
Judge Cannon says I'm not going to step in anymore,
the Department of Justice should never release this. In fact,
they almost concede at the point that they shouldn't be
releasing volume one by not releasing Volume two publicly because
(34:44):
of the two defendants in Florida. So why would they
release volume one and injure the rights of these other
people in Georgia, Arizona, and Michigan who are being targeted.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
That's a really great point, margoing something that hasn't really
been to talk about that much in the public I
want to turn to one other aspect there.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
It was about two years ago.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
This is in May of twenty twenty three when I
got the first documents showing that the National Archives was
told by the Biden White House go sick the FBI
on Donald Trump and his team, and the fact that
the White House was involved at the ignition point of this.
There's evidence in Georgia that was at the ignition point
of Fannie Willis's case that has been an unresolved question.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
Is this the year that Congress needs to.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
Find that was the White House instigating criminal investigations against
their political rival?
Speaker 10 (35:32):
You know, I actually prefer if Congress does not get
into it, let Trump just have all the information released,
have a declassified, make it public, and let the media
run with it. Let Trump and Congress focus on securing
the border, dealing with opening American energy, dealing with inflation,
(35:52):
dealing with the national security issues.
Speaker 5 (35:54):
That we're having. Have them focus on that.
Speaker 10 (35:57):
All they need to do is get this information public
and journalists like you and your colleague and myself, we
will run with it and we will tell the American
people the story. I don't think we need another congressional investigation.
We just need transparency, and if they give it to us,
we will make sure the American people.
Speaker 3 (36:17):
Learn about it.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
Good advice. I learned a lot more about very quickly.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
Go ahead, sure. I was just going to say, we
have a new batch of people coming in, presumably Pam
Bondi as Attorney General Cash betel Over at the FBI.
How drastically do you think things can change and how quickly?
Speaker 10 (36:36):
I think that they can change very drastically and very quickly,
especially in certain areas. So I think with the FBI,
you can have a release of a lot of information
that should have come out before so that the public
can understand how much deep state sabotage was going on.
You can have a reorientation of what the target of
(36:57):
criminal justice is and will do a lot to kind
of put a quash on all of the type of
crime that you're seeing. A lot of that is coming
from the open border, So you have the ceiling of
the border, but you also have the Attorney General and
the US attorneys if they're focusing on criminals that have
(37:20):
come into this country, that will do a lot to
dissuade new ones from coming in and also getting the
old ones out. So I do see that there is
a lot that can be done quickly just by changing
the people in charge and changing what their priority is.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
Yeah, like Gregan said, people can be policy, and I
think that may be the case in the next few months. Margo,
you do such amazing work and the fellow such a
great honor to have you on the show. To thay,
thanks for joining us. All right, folks that we're gonna
take a quick commercial bank when we come back. We're
going to take a look at the deb civil war
down to Texas with Joe Penlin, as well as what
the Trump administration could do about the blooming national debt.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
That's a big question that right after.
Speaker 11 (37:59):
These messages, welcome back to just the News, no Noise.
Speaker 3 (38:13):
America has an eidential, existential crisis that President Trump's new
administration is going to have to address. And it doesn't
come from a foreign power like rush ar Kina. It
comes to our nation's capital from Washington, DC. And I
of course am talking about government spending, but how can
President Trump address it? Joining us and al to talk
about all of that, We're going to ask him about
the Texas gup civil war that's still ongoing surrounding the
(38:36):
state House speakers race down there as well is businessman
from Texas and someone who is trying desperately to raise
national awareness to our country's debt crisis. Joe Penlan is
here with us. Joe from Texas. Thank you for being here, sir.
Speaker 12 (38:49):
Well, thank you for having me on again, great honor.
Speaker 3 (38:52):
We're happy to have you. Look this one hundred and
nineteenth Congress claims that they are going to tackle it.
They've got big ideas, but sir, I know that you
have some wisdom in actually doing this. The practical ways
that they can do this to stop the spending. It's
an addiction as old as Washington, though, how do you
fix it?
Speaker 12 (39:10):
Well, they're going to have to do it. They've promised
America they're going to do it. That's how they've won
this election. And there's no two ways about it. What
we need to do is do something that's very rare,
and we need to hold the House and send it
when it comes mid term. And the only way they're
going to do that is to make good on all
of these promises that they do. Now, they're big promises,
they're big problems, but it can be done. There's no
two ways about it. We've got a smart administration fixed
(39:32):
and be sworn in. They've made a pledge and let's
see if we will hold them to it.
Speaker 1 (39:37):
Yeah, that's the key thing. I think public pressure is
going to be the best tool that we have. When
you look out there are efforts to cut more taxes,
to renew the Trump tax cuts.
Speaker 2 (39:47):
Those are very important to helping people make ends meet.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
But meanwhile the plans to actually cut the size of
them and kind of a morphous right now, do you
think if Elon Muss comes back we can get rid
of whole departments that America that the American people will
get behind those ideas and give the political support behind
big cuts.
Speaker 2 (40:09):
Absolutely they will.
Speaker 12 (40:10):
If we can make cuts and show the American people
that we're not going to hurt the level of government
and the level of coverage that we need, then that
just shows we've got that we've grown too big, and
we've promised too much and we subsidize too many. If
we can do that and hoole government, you know, steady
with around the world, then we need to do it.
If that just goes to show you that we've been
(40:32):
overspending way too.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
Long and we need to get it in line.
Speaker 12 (40:35):
You know, any good business, any company, if they're too
fath they trim it back. And that's what we need
to do as a government. And if we do, we'll
show the taxpayers that we're going to save their money
and put it back to them, hopefully in social Security
and Medicare.
Speaker 5 (40:49):
Joe.
Speaker 3 (40:50):
Under this president, Americans have effectively lost twenty percent of
their wealth. And if that isn't a billboard for change,
I don't know what is. You guys touched on this
at the beginning. The public pressure element. What does the
public need to tell Do they need to call their
representatives daily and let them know, hello, you're literally making
me poorer. Does that make a difference?
Speaker 2 (41:12):
Of course it does. We need to keep the pressure on.
Speaker 12 (41:16):
You know, we've told the American people that we're going
to straighten things out as a party, and they won,
and they won handily, and they won more people thought
they couldn't win. So now you have to produce and
if they're not producing from day one, light it up.
Let them know they're not producing because we need to
have the second. You know, we need to win mid
term if we're going to.
Speaker 2 (41:35):
Get this thing done.
Speaker 12 (41:36):
We can't straighten out where we are in two years.
Obviously we can't do it in four years. But if
we can do a great job in four years, we
have a chance to keep the Republicans in power for
several more years, hopefully a couple more decades. We need
to take this journey together as Americans embrace one another.
But we need to make the hard cuts. But yet,
(41:56):
what we're going to have to do. We can't cut
our way to prosperity. Long Must knows that, and so
does Avake. We cannot do that. We have to grow
our way too, and we have only way. You can
grow your way and brain manufacture back to this country.
We've got to have a workforce that's willing to do it.
So you have to reform the border. We've got to
get our border security. Our immigration has got to be
(42:17):
reformed so we can bring people in this country that's
got work on their mind to help us shore this
thing up.
Speaker 1 (42:22):
Yeah, really good, Joe, real quickly. President Trump wants to
raise the dead ceiling. People always getting nervous when that happens.
What do you think we'll have on the dead ceiling?
And does it have to be coupled with spending cuts
to make it believable.
Speaker 12 (42:35):
Well, I know they want one big package. You know,
that would be great if we could get that done.
But the thing to do is just to get it done.
You know, we scare the American people every time we
come to this debt limit that we're not going to
mail out checks. You know, the postal service is going
to shut down when the government's going to shut down.
Speaker 2 (42:51):
All that. We need to forget that. We're not going
to do that.
Speaker 12 (42:53):
The government's not going to shut down. We're not going
to default on our debt. People need to look at
the constitution and see that the government will always make
good on this debt. So we need to probably take
that away. Give us some breathing room, because we're going
to do it anyway.
Speaker 2 (43:06):
It has it worked.
Speaker 12 (43:07):
Just saying we have a debt limit doesn't work anyway.
We're always increasing it. So why don't we just get
that off the table and get on the taking care
of business at hand.
Speaker 3 (43:15):
Yeah, good advice, Amen, Amen, Texas Businessman Joe Penlan, thank
you so much for joining us or we'll see you
again soon.
Speaker 2 (43:23):
Thank you all for having me. I hope you have
a good great day.
Speaker 3 (43:26):
Thanks Thanks, yes, sir, Same to you all. Right, everybody,
We're going to take a quick break and we're going
to wrap up with a few more topics after these.
Speaker 1 (43:37):
Hey, America, you've heard me talking about a despicable crime
that the FBI calls house stealing. It's title fraud, and
it's a growing crime becoming a very serious problem from homeowners.
In fact, a district attorney in California recently said the
title fraud cases in his small county have gone from
virtually none to seventy three and just eighteen months.
Speaker 3 (43:54):
Now.
Speaker 1 (43:54):
If you own a home or any property, your title
and the harder and equity you've built, all right, serious riess, Now,
how do they do it? With just one document, a
Ford signature and a phony notary stamp, a bad guy
can take legal ownership of your.
Speaker 2 (44:07):
Home and take out loans against it, just like that.
Speaker 1 (44:09):
Poof your biggest asset could be gone, and it can
happen without you even knowing.
Speaker 2 (44:13):
But there's a way to help stop them.

Speaker 3 (44:59):
Welcome back everybody to this final segment of Just the News,
No Noise. So you have probably heard on the news
that these fires, although a portion of which have been contained,
the Eaten Fire is still blazing, very strong, and it's
very dangerous. The death count, I believe is up to
twenty four and blame is just flying all across this
state at all different factions thereof. And we are hearing
(45:22):
that seventy mile per hour winds are going to persist
until Wednesday, So continue praying for us, please. Power is
obviously going to be an issue for most areas around
here who aren't dealing with the fires. But I wanted
to show you a picture that I took yesterday. We
live near some mountains, so we decided to do a
little bit of hiking yesterday yesterday, because their air quality
was finally such that we didn't have to hold our
(45:44):
hands over our mouths and our noses. As we walked
to the car, and I saw this fire hydrant out
of service, and I thought to myself, Yeah, California, we know.
The whole world knows now. And then I noticed that
right behind it was the Burbank Recycling Center, and John,
I thought to myself, this just perfectly encapsulates California because
you have this recycling center, this behemoth by the way
(46:08):
of a facility that is used for recycling and by
the way, recycling is a scammean, you're never going to
change my opinion. But you have this behind the fire
hydrant that is not working, and it just shows perfectly
the priorities of this state. The recycling center, the bending,
the need to the environmental lobby, and yet the practical
items needed for society to endure the fire hydrant out
(46:31):
of commission.
Speaker 1 (46:33):
It is the perfect photo. They say a photo is
worth a thousand words. I think it's worth a million words.
In this case, great photo. The Californian government has wanted
to help people get evs, but they can't keep their
own electrical wires from setting fires. California people want to
(46:54):
give migrants a place to live, even though they're not
resource for it, but they couldn't stop the number one
cause of fires in Washington being a homeless people. The
Californians want to have a green agenda, but they couldn't
even have working fire hydrants when the greatest fire in
their history shock. I mean, I think this is not
(47:16):
only a moment of reckoning for a tragedy of this proportion,
It may be a rejection of twenty or thirty years
of California politics. The question is, is there anyone there
to pick it up on the Republican Party, conservative side,
or maybe a moderate side and give a better alternative
because the moment's there to take it.
Speaker 2 (47:34):
I just don't know who the people are.
Speaker 3 (47:36):
I actually have a great idea, and I would hate
to lose another Republican from the House. But Kevin Kylie
would set for verbial fires in California and probably just
a really good politically politically speaking, yes, probably that was
probably im poor taste. Anyway, I want to ask you
because I know you've been digging into David Weiss report
and you have a few more nuggets to share it
with you.
Speaker 1 (47:57):
Let me just I got to say that the report
is a joke. It's someone like twenty pages of real substance.
It does slam Joe Biden appropriately for suggesting his son
was a victim when he wasn't. But there is this
extraordinary statement, and I think it's so important because it
comes from the man who once tried to give Hunter
Biden a sweet our deal. Hunter Biden made this money
by using his last name in connections to secure lucative
(48:19):
business opportunities, just like James Comber, Jim Jordan.
Speaker 2 (48:22):
Jason Smith told us right, and.
Speaker 1 (48:25):
He negotiated and executed lucrative contracts and agreements that paid
millions of dollars for limited work. So basically, he traded
on his name, he grifted, and he didn't really do
any work for it. That's exactly what I wrote in
twenty nineteen. Then we were called conspiracy theories. That's exactly
what Ron Johnson asserted in twenty twenty.
Speaker 2 (48:44):
He was laughed out of town.
Speaker 1 (48:45):
It's exactly what James Comber, Jim Jordan and Jason Miller
and the irs. Whistleblowers who chrained that case said today
the government and its final word, and albeit it's a
rather weak word, I don't think it's a very strong
report declares for history that Hunter Biden grifted, traded on
his family name.
Speaker 2 (49:02):
It was a corruption scandal, and his father has been
lying about it.
Speaker 3 (49:08):
Yeah. Who knew that? David Weiss was a big fan
of your writing in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 2 (49:12):
John, I don't think he saw it.
Speaker 1 (49:14):
If he did, he might have been a little more
aggressive a little bit earlier on.
Speaker 2 (49:17):
But you know who did know?
Speaker 5 (49:18):
I doubt it.
Speaker 2 (49:18):
Those I r ss just think how much Gary, they
went through.
Speaker 1 (49:23):
Yeah, they went through, and they were right. They did
the right thing, and they changed history. It does prove
them blowing the whistle. When you're on the right side
of facts, it matters.
Speaker 3 (49:31):
Yeah. Yeah, Gary Shapley and even David Ziegler who said,
I'm a lifelong Democrat. I am putting this out there
because I have seen. This is what I've seen, And
he just wanted he felt that transparency was the best one.
Speaker 2 (49:42):
Everybody trades the same under the law.
Speaker 3 (49:45):

friendly face that was next to me a moment ago.
Speaker 1 (49:58):
Johnn
Good evening, America. Welcome to the Monday edition of Justin News.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Though noise.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
Go check them out today.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
All right, we open the show with breaking news. And
when I mean breaking news, I mean just seconds ago.
It's on my phone, just a few seconds ago. David
Wise transmitted his final report on the Hunter Biden Biden
family scandal. Use has got an early copy of it.
It's not out publicly yet. It saves its harshest words,
not for Hunter Biden, but for President Joe Biden, saying
(01:08):
that the President had no right to suggest that his
son was singled out unfairly for prosecution, and that doing
so harmed the entire system in America for justice and
also was an attempt in his own words, These are
David Wise's own words to rewrite history. I'm just going
to read you three paragraphs I quickly pulled out as
I got a copy of this report. Politicians who attacked
(01:29):
the decisions of caer prosecutors as politically motivate it when
they disagree with the outcome of a case undermined the
public's confidence in our criminal justicism. David wisrode the President's
statements unfairly impune the integrity not only the Department of
Justice personnel, but of all public servants making these difficult
decisions and good faith calling the rulings that allowed his
(01:51):
son to be prosecuted. This is something that Joe Biden said,
the check courts treated his son unfairly, calling those rulings
into question and injecting partisanship into the independent administry of
the law undermines the very foundation of what makes America's
justice system fair and equitable. It erodes public confidence in
an institution that is essential to.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Preserving the rule of law.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
In one final quote, because this one's directly aimed at
President Biden's decision to pardon his son, to erase all
the criminal acts from his record. The Constitution provides a
president with broad authority to grant reprieves and pardons for
offenses committed against the United States, but nowhere does the
Constitution give the president.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
The authority to rewrite history.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Harsh direct words from the Justice Department system, by the way,
Joe Biden's own Justice Department. This prosecutor works for Merrick
Carlin in repudiating President Biden for the comments he made
suggesting that Hunter Biden had no basis being charged. He
obviously clearly strongly disagrees, and of course he was convicted
by a jury in one case and pled guilty in another.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
We have a.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Perfect lineup today to discuss his breaking news. In a
few seconds, we're going to bring in Congresswoman Harriet Hageman
for the great state of Wyoming. But first let me
turn to my amazing co host, Amanda had Amanda, it
just happened as we were getting on here here.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Kind of funny that Joe Biden.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Who said he was going to honor the justice system
gets rebuked Biden this final week in office.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Yeah, you know, I mean, the good news I suppose
for Hunter Biden is that he'll never see those what
was it seventeen years behind bars that he possibly faced.
The unfortunate thing is that this is a dark shadow
on our history. And not just because Hunter Biden, as
a member of the presidential family, allegedly reportedly committed these crimes,
but it's also the reaction of Joe Biden. It is
(03:40):
the incessant besmirching of people like Gary Shapley and Joseph
Ziegler and other members of the irs, of James Coomer,
of Jim Jordan, of Jason Smith, of David Weiss, of
other members of the DOJ. It's the repetitive lies that
he wouldn't barden Hunter Biden. It's all of that wrapped
up into one that I think for the American people.
(04:02):
While this might be the closing of the book on
this entire investigation into corruption of Hunter Biden, I happen
to know there are a few members of Congress who
are not going to let that bone go. So I
don't think that this is the total end of everything.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Jim Jordan is saying on Friday that they're going to
continue the investigation of Hunter Biden get to the bottom
of how much national security may have been compromised. I
think that's going to be an important endeavor.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Let's start to our first cash.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
She's been on top of this case from the beginning,
one of the most eloquent voices in Congress when it
comes to the political corruption that the Biden family committed.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Joining us from the Grace Sta Wyoming.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
I think she's actually in Washington today, Congresswoman Harriet Hagerman,
congress Woman, good to have you on.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Yes, it's wonderful to be on with you. I just
returned to d C yesterday.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Good to have you on. Welcome, Happy New Year. There's
a lot to think about in the closure of this
element of the Hunter Biden case. But the idea that
Joe Biden came in to the presidency say I'm going
to restore trust Justice Department getting repudiated by that same
Justice Department out the door kind of an interesting turn
of events.
Speaker 5 (05:07):
It's an interesting turn of events.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
But the way that you need to look at this,
or that we all should be looking at this, is
it isn't just focusing on Hunter Biden. The reality is
is that it was the corruption of the Biden family,
including Joe Biden, and that's why we were so interested
in what happened here and John you said it, which is,
to what extent has our national security been compromised because
of the activities and actions of Hunter Biden. I constantly
(05:32):
have to question the position that this administration has taken
it with regard to China, what we're seeing with the
drones on the East Coast and even in Wyoming, the
Chinese spy balloon that was allowed to traverse the entirety
of the entire United States, the situation in Ukraine with
spending another five hundred million dollars there in the last
(05:54):
week that he's in office. All of these are countries
that had contact with and we're paying Hunter Biden masks
amounts of money. And that's why this is an important
issue for the American people, because we cannot allow family
members of elected officials to be able to sell our
country to the highest bidder of foreign countries.
Speaker 6 (06:13):
Yeah, that's exactly absolutely, Congressman, Before we move on, what
marks the end of these investigations, because I know there's
still plenty to look into in your own judiciary, I'm
wondering what can possibly be the marker to conclude this.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
Well, I think that this report is very important because, yes,
Joe Biden did pardon his son for literally ten years
of actions, which is part of what just shocks the conscience.
And so that door has been closed, that chapter is over.
But at the same time, we need to make sure
that we understand to what extent our foreign policy has
(06:49):
been dictated by these relationships. And I think that that's
an ongoing investigation until we get to the bottom of it.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
I guess I'll just follow up on that because that
wou'd be interesting to know if the intelligence communities ever
did a damage assessment for the behavior that Hunter Biden
engaged in. About a year ago, I was able to
get documents from the State Department in which George Kent,
who had been an impeachment witness against Donald Trump and
nineteen but never mentioned this during his testimony, but he
wrote his bosses saying that Hunter Biden undercut the US
(07:16):
anti corruption efforts in Ukraine. Do you think that's one
of the things that maybe Congress this year could get
any damage assessments Intelligence Committee may have done.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
I think it is very important that we understand and
do those kinds of damage assessments, not only with Ukraine,
but China. There are other countries. Romania is another one.
That he earned quite a bit of money from. So
there are several countries that are not necessarily friendly to
the United States, and they potentially have long term implications
for foreign policies. So I think, to the extent that
(07:46):
we need to get to the bottom of any one
of those, it's important that we continue to look into
Hunter Biden and Joe Biden's activities.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Yeah, really important stuff.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Congresswoman. As I look back at your election to Congress,
there are so many idioms that I can think of.
They probably aren't appropriate for air to describe exactly how
you beat Liz Cheney to win that seat. And then
she turned around, Joe Biden gives her the Presidential Medal
of Freedom. Do you think that the people of your
state appreciated that?
Speaker 5 (08:16):
No, not at all.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
And really that was a reflection on the fact that
she did the bidding of the Democrats and Joe Biden
with the January sixth committee rather than actually moving forward
with a legitimate investigation as to what happened that day.
The point of that committee really should have been to
look at what went wrong, why did it happen in
terms of the breach into the Capitol or those kinds
(08:38):
of things. Why were people able to do some of
the things that they did.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
But in addition to which, to what.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Extent were their FBI agents involved, To what extent was
there an entrapment.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
Activity at taking place.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
That's what a legitimate committee would have actually looked at
to make sure that something like that didn't happen again.
It was politicized from the beginning. Liz Cheney chose the
wrong team. The state of WM and my fellow citizens
made the decision that we did not want her representing
us anymore. And when you look at the video of
her receiving that award, it is one of the most
cringe worthy videos I've ever seen. She was terribly uncomfortable.
(09:13):
He wouldn't let go over hand. I thought that it
was kind of a bizarre circumstance that we were watching.
It didn't elevate Liz Cheney to anybody, but it did
I think cause serious damage to the integrity of the
award itself.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Yeah, it was such an awkward moment. You said it right.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
It just felt completely off script. It didn't feel right
at all for Washington. There are a lot of things
that Congress under the Democrats and the Biden administration under
Joe Biden imposed on the American people things that aren't
true that need to be undone. How important is it
for history's sake to go back and perhaps correct the
(09:50):
official record of January sixth, official record of the Ukraine impeachment,
which we now know is based on some evidence that
was far different than what we were told that time.
Is there an appetite among Republicans who I don't want
to fix tomorrow's problems today to go back and also
do something for history.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
I think that it is important that history is accurate.
And as they say, those who cannot remember the past
are condemned to repeat them. And if we shove everything
under the rug and don't actually tell the truth to
the extent that our FBI has become corrupted and politicized,
then we're going to have a corrupt and politicized FBI.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
And I think probably one of.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
The ways that we're going to be able to address
these issues is perhaps through the nominees of Donald Trump.
I'm hoping that Cash Patel will come in and clean
up the FBI.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
It needs it.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
Everybody understands that it needs it. Are there some good
people who work for the FBI? Absolutely are there field
workers that do a great job, absolutely, but the FBI
has lost its way. It lost its way under bul Learn,
it lost its way under Chris Ray, It's lost its
way under Mary Garland.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
Those are things that need to be fixed.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
But hopefully we're getting nominees in place who will come
in and actually look at what is going on, look
under the hood, start looking around and identify those things
that need to be fixed. Where I believe the judiciary
would come into place specifically on that issue, is bringing
in cash Ptel or some of his deputies to talk
about what they found.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
And I think that's.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
Where we could expose the corruption of this administration in
these agencies and how they've been able to go rogue
the way that they have. So that's the way that
I would approach this is, let's find out what happened
over the last four years by bringing in the people
that Donald Trump is going to be appointing.
Speaker 5 (11:33):
To fix them.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
What a great idea makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Absolutely, Congresswoman, you also serve on natural resources, and you
come from a state that is so rich in natural resources,
and you guys do a wonderful job of managing that
and environmental policies and managerial policies when it comes to forestry.
Right now, we are looking at a very dire situation
when it comes to management in California, and our state
leaders and our city leaders are looking to blame everyone
(12:00):
but themselves. What wisdom do you think the state of
Wyoming could offer to California to hopefully never see something
like this ever again.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
Well, first of.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
All, we have got to stop using global warming and
climate change as the excuse to destroy the environment. And
that's where we are right now. You have a Gavin
Newsome that the mayor of Los Angeles, the entire Democrat
Party has been overtaken by radical environmentalism that has creating
(12:30):
such severe environmental degradation, whether it is in our water infrastructure,
our water supplies, what we're seeing out in California with
these catastrophic forest fires, at catastrophic fires, and also the lack.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
Of forest management.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
So much of this goes back to the two thousand
and one Roadless Rule, which was one of the things
the last things that Bill Clinton did when he was
at office, and it was designed to deny access, management
and use to fifty eight point five million acres of
National Forest Service lands. We have it improved the government
in the last twenty five years, but we've seen an
awful lot of our.
Speaker 5 (13:03):
Forest burned to the ground.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
And that's what you're seeing out in California, the fact
that they did not manage their water resources. California has
the same water infrastructure in place today with forty million
people that they had in the nineteen sixties with sixteen
million people. They have utterly and completely failed their citizens
by refusing to build the infrastructure necessary to provide them
(13:25):
with adequate energy supplies, electricity, water, and being able to
address something that could be this catastrophic. Is this a
terrible situation, Yes, it is, But I have to keep
going back to when this started happening early last week.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
Who was in charge. The mayor was out of the country.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
The governor even said yesterday he's not going to say
that the buck stops with him. If you watch that interview,
these people are not serious people. They are not the
kind of people that you want as leaders. They are preneers.
They go in front of a camera. They can say
nice and silly words, but they don't actually do what
the citizens of this country need them to do to
(14:04):
protect their communities and make sure that they have the
resources necessary to address something that could start. I'm not
even going to say of this magnitude this has been created.
That the magnitude that we're facing right now, the catastrophe
we're facing, is because the reservoirs were empty, they didn't
have the infrastructure in place, they haven't been capturing water.
(14:25):
They released fifty percent of the water from the reservoirs
for instream flow and to flow.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
Out to the ocean.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
That's just that's not only silly, it is almost criminal
in the sense of their failure to actually address the
needs of their own citizens. I do not understand the
inhumanity of it. I do not understand the cruelty of it.
But they sound awfully good when they spot off about
global warming and climate change, because then they don't actually
(14:51):
have to solve problems and figure out how to provide infrastructure.
Speaker 5 (14:55):
The rest of us are tired of this.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
It is time that California step up and actually start
producing and building things that they need to make sure
that they can serve theirs and protect their citizenry.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
I'm pretty sure I just heard a loud cheer coming
from California as you were talking, Congressman, and I think
you hit that one right on the head. It's time
as the citizens actually got thought of in this whole process.
What a great honor to have you on the show.
I know one thing, Wyoming citizens, though, you got their back.
Great to having the show today. Thanks for joining us.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
All right, folks, are going to take a quick commercial break.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
When we come back, we're going to talk to two
former Navy seals who are on the front lines in
Washington right now supporting Pete Hexiths for his nomination as
Defense Secretary. We'll have that right after these messages. Hey,
it's a new day in America and a new administration
in Washington, d C. There is a lot of excitement
(15:46):
and optimism about the future, but the reality is there's
a lot of work to do as well, especially when
it comes to fixing our broken healthcare system. The truth
is that the forces that are responsible for breaking our
healthcare system aren't going to simply go away. Hey, the
challenges our system faces won't disappear overnight. Now more than ever,
you need to be prepared. That's where the Wellness Company

Speaker 3 (17:03):
Welcome back to just the News, No Noise. All of
Washington is gearing up for the confirmation battles of President
Trump's nominees, and front and center among those battles is
that for Pete hegg Seth, Trump's pick for Secretary of Defense,
And it seems said a few weeks ago heegsas nominations
seemed like it was dead in the water but he
stayed in and he weathered the media attacks, and now
it seems like he's got a pretty good, even a
(17:25):
great chance of being confirmed. And there are two Navy
seals who are making sure those senators in DC here
that heg Seth would make a great Defense secretary. Those
two former Navy seals are Bill Brown and Rob Sweetman,
who've brought hundreds of military veterans to DC for a
march in support of Pete Hegseth, and they are both
here with us tonight to discuss this. Bill and Rod,
(17:46):
thank you so much for joining us.
Speaker 7 (17:49):
Thanks a lot for having us.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Thank you, Bill.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
I'll go to you first. I have not witnessed this
in my lifetime where a potential Pentagon chief has hundreds
of veterans come up to Capitol Hill and march on
Washington and the support of him. What is it that
is so special about Pete Hegsath or so qualifying about
him that that made that happen.
Speaker 8 (18:11):
Well, it goes to his leadership qualities. It's courage and vision.
Now you say, we've never seen this before, We've never
seen so many veterans get so passionate about a secretary
of Defense. No meinan Well, here's the reason why, because
our military is off the tracks and we're concerned. We
(18:34):
put in our life for our country. Look, it doesn't
take a military genius to realize that. Guess what, given
trillions of military dollars of military equipment to our enemies
was like leader leadership in the Pentagon absolutely failed us.
What do you think is going to happen with that
was all that military equipment they wanted jihadist re bent
(18:57):
on against our way of democratic and free will of life.
Speaker 7 (19:01):
And then think about the other things that the.
Speaker 8 (19:04):
Pentagon failed to speak up about. Think about a Chinese
fiber that overtly goes over some of the most sensitive
military installations in our nation.
Speaker 7 (19:14):
And they don't shoot it down. Nobody in the Pentagon
said hey, what are we doing here?
Speaker 8 (19:19):
Or think about the fact that they had an open
border and that's not even talk.
Speaker 7 (19:24):
About, like we're not going to vet people coming across.
Speaker 8 (19:27):
And look what happened in New York when someone gets
burned alive because you don't probably bet people. Well, you
want to talk about COVID and what type of who
knows what type of elements could become a US But
let's talk about the military perspective now. But the advanced
technology out there is sophisticated and portable weapon systems. You
saw what happened to us on nine to eleven. You
(19:49):
saw what happened to Israel on October seven. You can't
have an open border with that type of military technology
out there.
Speaker 7 (19:58):
There's poortpole weapon systems.
Speaker 8 (20:00):
That can create mass horror, and you have our adversaries
out there, all these different intelligence agencies, you have all
these Jahadist networks. That was a huge national security concerned
to put us all at risk, every one of us.
Speaker 7 (20:17):
Imagine what could happen to any major city in this nation.
Speaker 8 (20:21):
And nobody in the Pentagon said, look, we need to
close that border because it's making us all unsafe on
a national security rep level. Nobody or nobody said maybe
we shouldn't give trades of dollars.
Speaker 7 (20:33):
Of military weapons to our enemies. Or even now they're
given millions of dollars to the Taliban Jahatis. You know,
when we were there, women went to school, women voting.
Speaker 8 (20:46):
Now they've treated worse than secondhand citizens. You want to think, okay,
let's talk about humanity, let's talk about civil rights. You
know what's happening to those women there, or let's talk
about all the Afghanistans that wanted a better life there themselves,
their moms, their daughters, and now what happened? And now
(21:07):
look what there were honey down there were tortured and
killed with our own weapons. It's a complete and utter disgrace.
That's why we're That's why we're upset. That's why so
many seals and veterans are coming together saying what the
hell is going on with the Pentagon? Pete hadscept with
(21:27):
the loudest voice. He had the courage to speak up
what others didn't, and he did it out of love.
Speaker 7 (21:34):
He did out of love.
Speaker 8 (21:35):
Because he's been to Iraq, he's been to Afghanis, and
he was like.
Speaker 7 (21:39):
All of us, what the hell is going on in
the Pentagon? In the military, what's going on? They've lost
their focus.
Speaker 8 (21:47):
They got sidetrackeded to this woke ideology instead of focusing
on what matters.
Speaker 7 (21:53):
That is doing whatever it takes to protect American citizens and.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Getting that back on mission is so important. And it's
where Pete, I know, has put a lot of his
focus on Over the last few years. He's really set
a good goal for that, Rob, I want to turn
for you to a second. How did you for How
did you two guys first meet Pete? My understanding is
it I had to do with a really fun event
I know Bill organizes every year.
Speaker 9 (22:14):
Well, that's a great question. Bill, I got to tell you,
is one of the most inspirational people in mind. When
I came out to New York City the first time
to do that swim Brother, that was life changing, and
in fact, my biggest concern was that this whole woke
ideology was going to bleed into the New York City
people and maybe they were going to come and boo
(22:37):
at us and they wouldn't be supportive of the American flag.
Speaker 7 (22:41):
That's what I had in my mind.
Speaker 9 (22:42):
And I showed up and I had quite the different experience.
That was the most patriotic event that I've ever been to,
and that has inspired me to do lots of different things.
And every year we come out there in full force
to support Bill, to support unity in the United States
and fly those American flags.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
There's nothing like watching name jump into the Hudson River.
That's pretty awesome.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Amen, Amen, Rob, I want to stay on you for
just a moment. You know, there have been a number
of conflicts that have cropped up over this country under
this president and under this Secretary of Defense, Loud Austin.
What is it about Pete Hegset that you think will
or is there something about him that you think will
alleviate those pressures and those conflicts and possibly prevent further
(23:25):
ones from popping up.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (23:28):
Absolutely, So what we're dealing with is another politician in
the role of Secretary of Defense, and we've seen failures
like we've never seen before, things that we never thought
would happen. My kids will always remember the visualization, the
picture of Afghani's hanging on to airplanes as they fly
(23:50):
off goodbye. That's all we said. Overnight, America just left
and it created a terrible power vacuum. Matter that as
well as then, we have eight thousand service members that
were forced to take the JAB and refuse to and
we're exited out of their beautiful career, both in the
seal teams as well as other jobs in the military.
(24:11):
And just over and over we're seeing this failure. So
the question of should it be another flagged officer that
comes into this role, that's not the answer because it's
not working now. And so what I find beautiful about
bringing in mister Hegseth is that he has been to combat.
(24:31):
I can't stress that enough. He is one of us.
He's been down there. He knows the price that we pay.
He knows the difficult decisions that have to be made
that people don't want to talk about to keep this
country safe. Can we really say that about the politicians
making choices that devastate lives and then say something like no,
(24:52):
I have no regrets. We need accountability, we need experience,
we need trust more than anything, and we need a vision.
And that is what Pete Hegseth is clearly defined for us.
And I think that's why Trump picked him, because this
guy can get the job done. This is who we need.
We need a fresh start in this guy.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Yeah, there's no doubt about it. Bell. I want to
turn to you for a second.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
This is an old playbook when there's a nominee and
the opposition wants to third dirt at them. We've seen
him many times, but today's something very important came out
the service record of Pete Hexith and the extraordinary evaluations
he got in wartime conflict. How important is it to
refocus the public on the true facts and not some
of the innuendo that's been out there.
Speaker 7 (25:37):
Well, you know there's that's kind of their playbook, right.
Speaker 8 (25:42):
They know they can't beat you on the merrit so
they tried to slam it before the fatch come out.
And you know one of the things that Pete did,
and he and President Trump scept the example, he didn't flinch,
and Pete followed, Shoot, he didn't flinch. He you know,
that's what they tried to do. They tried to slander
him out of the race.
Speaker 7 (26:02):
They tried to slander them even before he could get
a fair hearing.
Speaker 8 (26:07):
And he didn't flintch and he fought back, disclike Trump
after he got shot, what did he say?
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Fight?
Speaker 8 (26:13):
Fight, fight, And that's what we're doing. Things have gotten
so bad now for too.
Speaker 7 (26:19):
Long, good men and women haven't stood up.
Speaker 8 (26:21):
For too long, good men and women and the police
and our law enforcement communities didn't stand up, and they
got slandered.
Speaker 7 (26:28):
And can you imagine. We're proud of our uniforms. We're
proud that we serve.
Speaker 8 (26:33):
And to have you like they treated the Vietnam veterans,
to treat like they treated our police officers. We had
enough of it, and now we're starting to stand up.
And that's what Pete did, That's what Trump did, and that's.
Speaker 7 (26:46):
What we're doing.
Speaker 8 (26:47):
We're saying, Look, we're gonna we're gonna follow Martin Luther
King's example. We're gonna hold the moral high ground, but
we want our leaders in the city and we want our.
Speaker 7 (26:57):
Entire nation to know where the warfighters stand. We're not.
We knew who Pete was.
Speaker 8 (27:04):
I can't tell you how many veterans that served with Pete.
Today we're at our press conference telling about what a
great honor was to serve with Pete, what a great
leader he was, how he was he loved his men,
and some of the things that Pete talked about were
out of love. When he talked about what the woke
eye ideology was doing, when they were actually lowering the
(27:26):
standards to get the results they wanted. That puts us
all in danger because there's no second place in war.
And Pete he was going to take fire from it.
But he stood up and said the hard thing, and
that's real leadership, and that you know what you don't
and dependent on the leadership.
Speaker 7 (27:45):
Now you look at the fiasco in Afghanistan.
Speaker 8 (27:48):
You need two things to win the war. You need
the tactical advantage and then you know what you need.
You need accountability. You need discipline. If you don't have
dis win right, you're not gonna win. And if you
don't have accountability, you're not gonna have discipline. No one's
been helping.
Speaker 7 (28:08):
What happened to after Gainnis game? All those generals, all
those Oak Wars and above guess what twelve they should
be fired? They suck, They suck. They gave of dollars
of enemies to our enemy. They let it open up with.
Speaker 8 (28:25):
Borders, get and speak up, put us a bend me
to the woke ideology, or they were silent.
Speaker 7 (28:31):
They gotta go.
Speaker 8 (28:32):
They gotta go because they put us at all at risk.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Powerful.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
I do believe discipline and accountability are coming. If Pete
Hegseth has been for former Navy seals Bill Brown and
Rob Sweetman, thank you both so much for your service,
and thank you for doing what you were doing up
there on Capitol Hill, and thanks for being with us.
All right, everybody coming up. Jack Smith and resigned last week,
but he is not done making the news. We'll explain that.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Welcome back in America. Such a momentous day. We're going
through this David Weis's report right now, and Hunter Biden's
kind of funny. The man who almost gave the greatest
sweetheart deal to Hunter Biden spends most of his report
focused on Joe Biden. Maybe he was a little upset
that Joe Biden ended up causing this whole kerfuffle for
him by actually insisting that his son get off easy.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
But we don't know. But I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
We've got one of the best legal correspondents in the
country with us right now. She's a senior leagual correspondent
the Federals. I read her off and she is amazing.
Margot Cleavean's with us. Margo, great to have you on
the show.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
Well, thanks so much.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
All right.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
I know it has just came out a few minutes ago,
so it hasn't been a lot of time to digest it.
But David Weise saying Joe Biden basically has done a
disservice to the administration of Justice and tried to revise
history by saying his son was a victim of the
criminal justice system.
Speaker 10 (29:55):
How say you, Well, she's absolutely right. Although I I
would say for Wise to be the one coming out
here is pretty shocking, given it took two whistleblowers for
this case actually to go through as much as it did.
And don't forget that we had some of the earlier
actions the statute limitations ran because no one was willing
(30:19):
to force the issue with the Joe Biden administration.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Great points, Margo.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
Joe Biden pardening Hunter. That kind of put the kibosh
on the investigative side of things, at least from the
DJ's perspective. But you do have ongoing and subsequent investigations
in the House. What is there left to learn, do
you think?
Speaker 10 (30:41):
Well, I still think there's much more to learn about
all of the money trails. We still don't have all
of the financial records, we still don't know Joe Biden's
full involvement here, and there's other issues that come up
with Jim Biden as well. But I would expect as
he is leaving the White House, he will be pardoning
(31:01):
them as well.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Yeah, I think you're right, that's something we all got
to be looking for.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
When you look out over the last six or seven years,
Americans were given one set of stories during the twenty
nine impeachment of Donald Trump, and by twenty twenty five
that those stories don't you will look remotely true. There
really was a drifting scream. There really was a reason
to ask for someone to investigate Hunter Biden and Joe Biden.
Do you think the American people have caught up with
(31:27):
the fact that, if not, is there an obligation for
us in the media in Congress to make sure they
understand what they were sold in nineteen was a different
story than today.
Speaker 10 (31:37):
I think they do know the facts already. They might
not know the chapter and verse of what exactly was happening,
who he was getting money from, but the main point
that there was corruption going on, that our government was
covering it up, and that the legacy media was part
and parcel with that.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
I think the public knows.
Speaker 10 (31:59):
And that is you're seeing such disregard for what the
legacy media is doing. They're unable to control the narrative anymore.
And I think it was COVID, and I think it
was the Hunter Biden along with the fifty one former
National security advisors who came out and said that Hunter
Biden laptop was Russian disinformation. I think the public no
(32:21):
longer trusts the media.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
Yeah, I think you're right, Margo.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
Though Jack Smith has resigned, his specter is still about
in the form of this January sixth report. But Donald
Trump's election has been certified. He will put his hand
on the Bible a week from today, and that's it
was the point of putting this out there, regardless to
damage President Trump, is it to try to appear that
(32:47):
his ultimate goal is justice. What do you think the
motivating factor was.
Speaker 10 (32:52):
I think the motivating factors to get the reports out
is the continuation of the law fare what they did
in two thousands sixteen, and it basically interfered with the
first term President Trump had. I think that's what they
hope that this report will do, that this report will
be a continuation of tying the hands of Trump by
(33:14):
creating this separate news story of what is going on.
But here again, I think that the American public recognizes
that this is not significant, that it is a one
sided view here, and that really it is part of
the get Trump area. And I don't think the media
(33:35):
the public is going to care. But I would just
say we still don't know if Volume one is coming out.
Everyone has been reporting it as that Cannon said, it
comes out she really only denied one motion. There's still
two more motions, and until midnight she could still enter
an injunction, saying I need a few more days to
(33:56):
decide Trump's motion to intervene before I release. I'm not
sure which way that's gonna fly. But even if she
orders it released, it is horrendous that Attorney General of
Garland would release volume one because it implicates not just
Trump but dozens of other individuals who are under indictment
(34:20):
in Georgia and Arizona and Michigan. And this is a
violation of their due process right. So whether or not
Judge Cannon says I'm not going to step in anymore,
the Department of Justice should never release this. In fact,
they almost concede at the point that they shouldn't be
releasing volume one by not releasing Volume two publicly because
(34:44):
of the two defendants in Florida. So why would they
release volume one and injure the rights of these other
people in Georgia, Arizona, and Michigan who are being targeted.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
That's a really great point, margoing something that hasn't really
been to talk about that much in the public I
want to turn to one other aspect there.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
It was about two years ago.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
This is in May of twenty twenty three when I
got the first documents showing that the National Archives was
told by the Biden White House go sick the FBI
on Donald Trump and his team, and the fact that
the White House was involved at the ignition point of this.
There's evidence in Georgia that was at the ignition point
of Fannie Willis's case that has been an unresolved question.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
Is this the year that Congress needs to.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
Find that was the White House instigating criminal investigations against
their political rival?
Speaker 10 (35:32):
You know, I actually prefer if Congress does not get
into it, let Trump just have all the information released,
have a declassified, make it public, and let the media
run with it. Let Trump and Congress focus on securing
the border, dealing with opening American energy, dealing with inflation,
(35:52):
dealing with the national security issues.
Speaker 5 (35:54):
That we're having. Have them focus on that.
Speaker 10 (35:57):
All they need to do is get this information public
and journalists like you and your colleague and myself, we
will run with it and we will tell the American
people the story. I don't think we need another congressional investigation.
We just need transparency, and if they give it to us,
we will make sure the American people.
Speaker 3 (36:17):
Learn about it.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
Good advice. I learned a lot more about very quickly.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
Go ahead, sure. I was just going to say, we
have a new batch of people coming in, presumably Pam
Bondi as Attorney General Cash betel Over at the FBI.
How drastically do you think things can change and how quickly?
Speaker 10 (36:36):
I think that they can change very drastically and very quickly,
especially in certain areas. So I think with the FBI,
you can have a release of a lot of information
that should have come out before so that the public
can understand how much deep state sabotage was going on.
You can have a reorientation of what the target of
(36:57):
criminal justice is and will do a lot to kind
of put a quash on all of the type of
crime that you're seeing. A lot of that is coming
from the open border, So you have the ceiling of
the border, but you also have the Attorney General and
the US attorneys if they're focusing on criminals that have
(37:20):
come into this country, that will do a lot to
dissuade new ones from coming in and also getting the
old ones out. So I do see that there is
a lot that can be done quickly just by changing
the people in charge and changing what their priority is.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
Yeah, like Gregan said, people can be policy, and I
think that may be the case in the next few months. Margo,
you do such amazing work and the fellow such a
great honor to have you on the show. To thay,
thanks for joining us. All right, folks that we're gonna
take a quick commercial bank when we come back. We're
going to take a look at the deb civil war
down to Texas with Joe Penlin, as well as what
the Trump administration could do about the blooming national debt.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
That's a big question that right after.
Speaker 11 (37:59):
These messages, welcome back to just the News, no Noise.
Speaker 3 (38:13):
America has an eidential, existential crisis that President Trump's new
administration is going to have to address. And it doesn't
come from a foreign power like rush ar Kina. It
comes to our nation's capital from Washington, DC. And I
of course am talking about government spending, but how can
President Trump address it? Joining us and al to talk
about all of that, We're going to ask him about
the Texas gup civil war that's still ongoing surrounding the
(38:36):
state House speakers race down there as well is businessman
from Texas and someone who is trying desperately to raise
national awareness to our country's debt crisis. Joe Penlan is
here with us. Joe from Texas. Thank you for being here, sir.
Speaker 12 (38:49):
Well, thank you for having me on again, great honor.
Speaker 3 (38:52):
We're happy to have you. Look this one hundred and
nineteenth Congress claims that they are going to tackle it.
They've got big ideas, but sir, I know that you
have some wisdom in actually doing this. The practical ways
that they can do this to stop the spending. It's
an addiction as old as Washington, though, how do you
fix it?
Speaker 12 (39:10):
Well, they're going to have to do it. They've promised
America they're going to do it. That's how they've won
this election. And there's no two ways about it. What
we need to do is do something that's very rare,
and we need to hold the House and send it
when it comes mid term. And the only way they're
going to do that is to make good on all
of these promises that they do. Now, they're big promises,
they're big problems, but it can be done. There's no
two ways about it. We've got a smart administration fixed
(39:32):
and be sworn in. They've made a pledge and let's
see if we will hold them to it.
Speaker 1 (39:37):
Yeah, that's the key thing. I think public pressure is
going to be the best tool that we have. When
you look out there are efforts to cut more taxes,
to renew the Trump tax cuts.
Speaker 2 (39:47):
Those are very important to helping people make ends meet.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
But meanwhile the plans to actually cut the size of
them and kind of a morphous right now, do you
think if Elon Muss comes back we can get rid
of whole departments that America that the American people will
get behind those ideas and give the political support behind
big cuts.
Speaker 2 (40:09):
Absolutely they will.
Speaker 12 (40:10):
If we can make cuts and show the American people
that we're not going to hurt the level of government
and the level of coverage that we need, then that
just shows we've got that we've grown too big, and
we've promised too much and we subsidize too many. If
we can do that and hoole government, you know, steady
with around the world, then we need to do it.
If that just goes to show you that we've been
(40:32):
overspending way too.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
Long and we need to get it in line.
Speaker 12 (40:35):
You know, any good business, any company, if they're too
fath they trim it back. And that's what we need
to do as a government. And if we do, we'll
show the taxpayers that we're going to save their money
and put it back to them, hopefully in social Security
and Medicare.
Speaker 5 (40:49):
Joe.
Speaker 3 (40:50):
Under this president, Americans have effectively lost twenty percent of
their wealth. And if that isn't a billboard for change,
I don't know what is. You guys touched on this
at the beginning. The public pressure element. What does the
public need to tell Do they need to call their
representatives daily and let them know, hello, you're literally making
me poorer. Does that make a difference?
Speaker 2 (41:12):
Of course it does. We need to keep the pressure on.
Speaker 12 (41:16):
You know, we've told the American people that we're going
to straighten things out as a party, and they won,
and they won handily, and they won more people thought
they couldn't win. So now you have to produce and
if they're not producing from day one, light it up.
Let them know they're not producing because we need to
have the second. You know, we need to win mid
term if we're going to.
Speaker 2 (41:35):
Get this thing done.
Speaker 12 (41:36):
We can't straighten out where we are in two years.
Obviously we can't do it in four years. But if
we can do a great job in four years, we
have a chance to keep the Republicans in power for
several more years, hopefully a couple more decades. We need
to take this journey together as Americans embrace one another.
But we need to make the hard cuts. But yet,
(41:56):
what we're going to have to do. We can't cut
our way to prosperity. Long Must knows that, and so
does Avake. We cannot do that. We have to grow
our way too, and we have only way. You can
grow your way and brain manufacture back to this country.
We've got to have a workforce that's willing to do it.
So you have to reform the border. We've got to
get our border security. Our immigration has got to be
(42:17):
reformed so we can bring people in this country that's
got work on their mind to help us shore this
thing up.
Speaker 1 (42:22):
Yeah, really good, Joe, real quickly. President Trump wants to
raise the dead ceiling. People always getting nervous when that happens.
What do you think we'll have on the dead ceiling?
And does it have to be coupled with spending cuts
to make it believable.
Speaker 12 (42:35):
Well, I know they want one big package. You know,
that would be great if we could get that done.
But the thing to do is just to get it done.
You know, we scare the American people every time we
come to this debt limit that we're not going to
mail out checks. You know, the postal service is going
to shut down when the government's going to shut down.
Speaker 2 (42:51):
All that. We need to forget that. We're not going
to do that.
Speaker 12 (42:53):
The government's not going to shut down. We're not going
to default on our debt. People need to look at
the constitution and see that the government will always make
good on this debt. So we need to probably take
that away. Give us some breathing room, because we're going
to do it anyway.
Speaker 2 (43:06):
It has it worked.
Speaker 12 (43:07):
Just saying we have a debt limit doesn't work anyway.
We're always increasing it. So why don't we just get
that off the table and get on the taking care
of business at hand.
Speaker 3 (43:15):
Yeah, good advice, Amen, Amen, Texas Businessman Joe Penlan, thank
you so much for joining us or we'll see you
again soon.
Speaker 2 (43:23):
Thank you all for having me. I hope you have
a good great day.
Speaker 3 (43:26):
Thanks Thanks, yes, sir, Same to you all. Right, everybody,
We're going to take a quick break and we're going
to wrap up with a few more topics after these.
Speaker 1 (43:37):
Hey, America, you've heard me talking about a despicable crime
that the FBI calls house stealing. It's title fraud, and
it's a growing crime becoming a very serious problem from homeowners.
In fact, a district attorney in California recently said the
title fraud cases in his small county have gone from
virtually none to seventy three and just eighteen months.
Speaker 3 (43:54):
Now.
Speaker 1 (43:54):
If you own a home or any property, your title
and the harder and equity you've built, all right, serious riess, Now,
how do they do it? With just one document, a
Ford signature and a phony notary stamp, a bad guy
can take legal ownership of your.
Speaker 2 (44:07):
Home and take out loans against it, just like that.
Speaker 1 (44:09):
Poof your biggest asset could be gone, and it can
happen without you even knowing.
Speaker 2 (44:13):
But there's a way to help stop them.

Speaker 3 (44:59):
Welcome back everybody to this final segment of Just the News,
No Noise. So you have probably heard on the news
that these fires, although a portion of which have been contained,
the Eaten Fire is still blazing, very strong, and it's
very dangerous. The death count, I believe is up to
twenty four and blame is just flying all across this
state at all different factions thereof. And we are hearing
(45:22):
that seventy mile per hour winds are going to persist
until Wednesday, So continue praying for us, please. Power is
obviously going to be an issue for most areas around
here who aren't dealing with the fires. But I wanted
to show you a picture that I took yesterday. We
live near some mountains, so we decided to do a
little bit of hiking yesterday yesterday, because their air quality
was finally such that we didn't have to hold our
(45:44):
hands over our mouths and our noses. As we walked
to the car, and I saw this fire hydrant out
of service, and I thought to myself, Yeah, California, we know.
The whole world knows now. And then I noticed that
right behind it was the Burbank Recycling Center, and John,
I thought to myself, this just perfectly encapsulates California because
you have this recycling center, this behemoth by the way
(46:08):
of a facility that is used for recycling and by
the way, recycling is a scammean, you're never going to
change my opinion. But you have this behind the fire
hydrant that is not working, and it just shows perfectly
the priorities of this state. The recycling center, the bending,
the need to the environmental lobby, and yet the practical
items needed for society to endure the fire hydrant out
(46:31):
of commission.
Speaker 1 (46:33):
It is the perfect photo. They say a photo is
worth a thousand words. I think it's worth a million words.
In this case, great photo. The Californian government has wanted
to help people get evs, but they can't keep their
own electrical wires from setting fires. California people want to
(46:54):
give migrants a place to live, even though they're not
resource for it, but they couldn't stop the number one
cause of fires in Washington being a homeless people. The
Californians want to have a green agenda, but they couldn't
even have working fire hydrants when the greatest fire in
their history shock. I mean, I think this is not
(47:16):
only a moment of reckoning for a tragedy of this proportion,
It may be a rejection of twenty or thirty years
of California politics. The question is, is there anyone there
to pick it up on the Republican Party, conservative side,
or maybe a moderate side and give a better alternative
because the moment's there to take it.
Speaker 2 (47:34):
I just don't know who the people are.
Speaker 3 (47:36):
I actually have a great idea, and I would hate
to lose another Republican from the House. But Kevin Kylie
would set for verbial fires in California and probably just
a really good politically politically speaking, yes, probably that was
probably im poor taste. Anyway, I want to ask you
because I know you've been digging into David Weiss report
and you have a few more nuggets to share it
with you.
Speaker 1 (47:57):
Let me just I got to say that the report
is a joke. It's someone like twenty pages of real substance.
It does slam Joe Biden appropriately for suggesting his son
was a victim when he wasn't. But there is this
extraordinary statement, and I think it's so important because it
comes from the man who once tried to give Hunter
Biden a sweet our deal. Hunter Biden made this money
by using his last name in connections to secure lucative
(48:19):
business opportunities, just like James Comber, Jim Jordan.
Speaker 2 (48:22):
Jason Smith told us right, and.
Speaker 1 (48:25):
He negotiated and executed lucrative contracts and agreements that paid
millions of dollars for limited work. So basically, he traded
on his name, he grifted, and he didn't really do
any work for it. That's exactly what I wrote in
twenty nineteen. Then we were called conspiracy theories. That's exactly
what Ron Johnson asserted in twenty twenty.
Speaker 2 (48:44):
He was laughed out of town.
Speaker 1 (48:45):
It's exactly what James Comber, Jim Jordan and Jason Miller
and the irs. Whistleblowers who chrained that case said today
the government and its final word, and albeit it's a
rather weak word, I don't think it's a very strong
report declares for history that Hunter Biden grifted, traded on
his family name.
Speaker 2 (49:02):
It was a corruption scandal, and his father has been
lying about it.
Speaker 3 (49:08):
Yeah. Who knew that? David Weiss was a big fan
of your writing in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 2 (49:12):
John, I don't think he saw it.
Speaker 1 (49:14):
If he did, he might have been a little more
aggressive a little bit earlier on.
Speaker 2 (49:17):
But you know who did know?
Speaker 5 (49:18):
I doubt it.
Speaker 2 (49:18):
Those I r ss just think how much Gary, they
went through.
Speaker 1 (49:23):
Yeah, they went through, and they were right. They did
the right thing, and they changed history. It does prove
them blowing the whistle. When you're on the right side
of facts, it matters.
Speaker 3 (49:31):
Yeah. Yeah, Gary Shapley and even David Ziegler who said,
I'm a lifelong Democrat. I am putting this out there
because I have seen. This is what I've seen, And
he just wanted he felt that transparency was the best one.
Speaker 2 (49:42):
Everybody trades the same under the law.
Speaker 3 (49:45):
Well, we all want, really what we all want? Thank
you all. So much for joining us. We've got another
edition of this show tomorrow night at six game Eastern.
