Speaker 1 (00:20):
Good evening, America. Welcome to the Monday edition of justin News,
No Noise. I'm your host, John Solomon, reporting to you,
as always from Washington, DC and the Wiredfishcoffee dot com studios.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
You know this now.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Wired Fish Coffee is the official coffee of justin News,
not only because it tastes great, but because it also
does good. With every cup of coffee, they give twenty
five percent of the proceeds to conservation organizations in Christian
faith organizations, two things that matter a lot to me.
And you can get a fantastic ten percent discount on
their best coffees or all the other items in their
story just by using the promo code just News or Portrait.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Camerat that QR code. That'll get you started even faster.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
All right, We start tonight's broadcast with an update on
how much Washington has changed since President Trump took office.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
From tariffs to DOGE.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
And executive orders to border security, America is already fundamentally
different from the Biden era.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
That is true here at this show too.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Joining me in studio tonight is a familiar face, my
co host, Amanda he who did such a great job
carry the show last week. But starting today, she's joining
in a second capacity as the brand new White House
correspondent for.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Just the News.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
That's right, She'll be coming President Trump inside the White
House here in Washington. Amanda, I'm so excited to have
you in this second capacity. You did a great job
last week. It's going to be a fun ride at
the way.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Thank you. Yes, you know, I don't consider.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
Myself to be a hat wearing person, but I guess
I'm wearing many of them now.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
You are. Indeed. Yeah, look faster TV host, right.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
I know, I know.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
And I had a lot of people who when I
announced the new position, they said, what's going to happen
to the show?
Speaker 3 (01:41):
I said, don't worry. Don't worry. The show's still.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
There, the podcast is still there, everything is still covered.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
So I'm so delighted to be here.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
But there are a lot of things going on in
the news cycle, so I want to make sure I
get to that. So one thing that we are not
changing is our commitment on this show to break news
that you can't get anywhere else. And tonight we are
doing it again on a subject that bursts onto the
scene this past weekend when Elon Musk and President Trump
decided to end the year's long folly of waste, fraud,
and abuse inside the US Agency for International Development, America's
(02:11):
foreign funding arm. After decades of harrowing stories of wasted money,
President Trump decided to kick out the agency's leadership and
lock out its Washington bureaucrats with a plan to shut
it down and move it back under the State Department. Now,
of course, predictably, liberals and their allies and legacy media
yelled that the sky was falling and national security was
(02:31):
being wrecked. But actually what happened was accountability was being
handed out to an agency with a long and abysmal
record on managing tax dollars sent to faraway places. Now,
just the News has confirmed that just days before Musk
jumped into action, USAID's management received this stinging memo from
its international watchdog, rebuking the agency for failing to vet
(02:53):
foreign aid recipients for terrorism and criminalize in refusing to
pressure the United Nations to properly account manage the US
tax dollars it has received. The memo is chock full
of shocking revelations, and we're gonna have more on that
over on justinnews dot com. As you were always reporting
on great stuff, just like us.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Yeah, it's an amazing memo.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
They weren't vetting for terrorists, they weren't looking for fraudsters.
When the UN wouldn't tell them whether they were moving
bad actors around, they just kept give them the money.
They didn't demand accountability. We'll have all the details tomorrow, man,
it's gonna.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Be a fun one as ye.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
All right, so news media, we're also crying.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
This guy was falling when Trump and post tariffs on
Canada and Mexico and China over the weekend, but their
predicted market crash well never happened.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Today.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Instead, all three countries make concessions to help stop illegal
drugs flowing over our borders, and tonight Trumps delayed the
tariffs on Mexico and Canada because of the progress that
was already made. We're going to bring you up to
speed on that all night long over justin news. You
can go check that out right now. All right, we're
going to bring in our first guest right now. He's
one of the newest members of Congress, one of his
most exciting members too. He's in the middle of all
(03:56):
of this extraordinary action. Congressman Nick Baggett from the Great
State Concert. Good to have you on the show.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Great to be back, Thanks for having me. I want
to ask you.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
We're going to get into all the news in a second,
but you've had a couple of weeks to just experience
Washington as a congressman. Your first thoughts about how the
first three.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Weeks of the Trump era have begun.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
You know, the velocity is absolutely incredible. I think it's
hard for everyone to keep up with, whether you're in
the media or whether you're in the Congress. The Trump
administration is not waiting for permission to proceed. They are
proceeding with the full authority of the executive branch. They
are fully exercising that authority, and they're delivering on the
promises that were made during the campaign. And I don't
(04:35):
think that it surprises anyone to see that when they
came in, they were very serious about making substantive changes,
cutting the size of government and ensuring that Americans have
a government that is accountable to them and works for them.
And that is what we have been seeing in these
first few days.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
It has certainly felt like whiplash news wise.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Congressman. I want to ask you because at the same time,
the DNC is.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
Seeing their voting gathering and they voted for two white men,
despite the fact that especially during the election when they
had Kamala Harris, they emphasized her gender, they emphasized her race,
and the party that just loves DEI ended up voting
for two white men to lead their party.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
You know, it's it's interesting you can tell a lot
about somebody based not on what they say, but what
they do. And the Democrat Party, you know, they have
a lot of rhetoric around DEI.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
You know, they they.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
Even within that election, they required a certain leadership to
be part of other categories of people that they've defined.
Those categories are you know, they're strictly artificial. They're not
merit based. And I'll tell you any organization, I don't
care if you're a Republican Democrat, if you're in the government,
if you're in the private sector, you've got to have
a merit based approach to hiring.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
To get the very best out of folks.
Speaker 5 (05:57):
And the Democrats have once again all in victim to
identity politics, and it's going to be very hard for
Democrats to walk away from identity politics. They've essentially evangelized
their base to the point where the base has religion
around identity, and that base is not going to be
satisfied unless their leadership continues down that line of thinking.
(06:18):
But Republicans and common sense independence around the nation are
done with DEI, They're done with identity politics, and the
Democrats appear to have learned nothing and doubled down on
that failed formula.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Yeah, that's a great point, and they did great religion
around it. It's so remarkable. So I want to dive
in a little bit more on that USAID story. I
think the media and their allies and the liberals all
jumped to the world is going to fall apart. Security
is going to be jeopardized by this. But it really
turns out USAID has been a ticking time bomb of
bad management for years. Is sending tens of billions of
(06:52):
dollars without really accounting for it, and sometimes it ending
up in bad actors hands. This member we got today
affirms that even if someone watched dog with the in
the agency, you're not doing a good job. How does
that story get to the American people? How do people
How do we educate Americans to make sure they understand
we're trying to make foreign aid better and more effective.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Well, that's right.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
I mean, what we've seen in this MOMO and some
of the revelations over the last twenty four hours is
that USAID funds, taxpayer funds, were used for things like
regime change, where ostensibly they were supposed to be used
for humanitarian assistance. And when those funds are being misdirected
and redirected, when agencies like this have lied to the
(07:35):
taxpayer and obfuscated where those funds are going, they need
substantial reform. And I think putting USAID back under the
State Department is a good first step. I think a
number of these programs need to be canceled. Those that
remain need to be tightly reviewed, and there need to
be accountability metrics built around programs like these to ensure
(07:58):
that taxpayer funds are being spent responsibly. And this is
true not just with USAID but across the government. And
it's of course kicked to the hornets, and that's to
the left because these folks rely on programs like these
to fund their activist efforts, both inside and outside government.
(08:18):
But there's a new sheriff in town, and we're finally
getting some accountability, the kind of accountability that the taxpayers need.
I remind people, Look, you know, think about a single mom.
She's got a couple of kids at home, she's working
two jobs to make ends meet. How much of her
taxes should go to fund programs like these?
Speaker 2 (08:40):
The answer is none.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
And you know that's the story that so many Americans
across the country share. They deserve a government that's going
to be accountable to them because they're working hard to
fund all these things. And sometimes people in d C.
Speaker 6 (08:55):
Forget that absolutely, sir.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
The notion that President Trump is putting America first in
such a start contrast to the last administration. Do you
think that was one of the main drivers behind the
fact that not just China, not just Mexico, but also Canada,
all three of them capitulated to President Trump.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
I think they recognize that President Trump, of course, is right.
We have substantial trade imbalances, and when tariffs go into effect,
they hurt these other nations far more than they're going
to hurt us. And look, what are we looking for
right now? We're looking for partners who will ensure that
the American people are safe. There's well over one hundred
(09:35):
thousand deaths every year attributable to fentanyl overdoses, and that
fentanyl is coming in from both the southern border and
the northern border. And we expect the people who border
our nation to be partners and ensuring that we have
a safe environment in the United States. And President Trump
made that very clear. He said, look, I need you
(09:55):
to be a partner here, and if you're not willing
to do that, if you're not willing to take the
steps area to safeguard our interests, then we're going to
impose some pretty significant penalties against you.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Until you see the light.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
And I'll tell you what they saw the light within
twenty four hours.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
It It's remarkable how quickly capitulation occurred. So I want
to ask a little bit about a subject that's close
to your heart. You serve on the House Transportation Aviation Subcommittee.
We're still coming to grips with what happened here in Washington, DC,
with that tragic accident.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
It's one thing is very clear. The FAA has known for.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
A long time it had an air traffic controller problem,
and it didn't seem to solve it. How does Congress
get involved in a way that make sure that this
is solved for the long term.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
Well, I think that what we're all looking for is
that draft NTSB report that's going to be coming out
that will provide us with additional clarification and information and
hopefully some recommendations on what can be done to assure
that a tragedy like this does not occur again.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
In the future.
Speaker 5 (10:55):
You know, the opportunity that we have before us is
to make air transportation and safer. We need to take
every opportunity to do that. I think there are things
that can be done on the technology side, on the
process side, and the staffing side to help ensure that
this does not occur again. And I assure you that
the Subcommittee on Aviation and the Transportation Infrastructure Committee more
(11:18):
broadly will be taking a look at exactly those kinds
of issues.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Yeah. Important stuff, important work ahead.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
Yeah, And Sir Vice President of VANCE had spoken to
the connection between what happened and the Biden administration and
some of their.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Policies that led to this.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
And they're obviously control Tower people who wanted to be
a member of that and do that job, who were
kept out of the agency when it comes to the
safety of the American people and reflecting back on those policies,
how do we move forward and adjust those Is it
going to take Congress to do it?
Speaker 5 (11:49):
You know, I think Congress absolutely has a role. And
the reason that Congress has a role is because many
of these policies shift from one administration to the next.
When a Democrat is in the world White House, there's
one set of policies. When a Republican is in the
White House, another set of policies.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Congress has to use.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
Its power to ensure that these policies can't change from
administration to administration. When it comes to the safety of
the American people, this should never be a political football,
and we have to take that authority away from the
executive branch to ensure that Americans remain safe no matter
who's in that office, and that government agencies like the
(12:30):
FAA and others don't become overly politicized because they, at
the end of the day, they have a mission of
service to the American people.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Sir, I know you've.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Weighed in quite a bit on the inflation crisis that
Americans have dealt with for four years. Tell us where
you think this goes. When can people start to see
relief from inflation, And what do you think President Trump's
ability to cut these agencies will do to interest rates
in inflation?
Speaker 5 (12:55):
Well, I think it's so important when you look at
is what really drives inflation. It's government's been and is
government spending that is financed by the Federal Reserve through
money printing. And when you increase the money supply without
increasing the amount of goods and services available for purchase,
you're going to get inflation. It's very simple. And so
I think that what we're seeing is a significant cut
(13:18):
in superfluous government spending be a commitment to ensure that
production and production capacity goes up significantly. So if we
can cut back on deficit spending and we can increase production,
those are the ingredients necessary in order to achieve a
less inflationary environment. And I think that's what President Trump
(13:40):
and his team are doing. They're doing a multi pronged approach,
pursuing a multi pronged approach to ensuring that we have
the capacity to be sovereign and independent from a supply
chain perspective, but that we're cutting government back to a
rational size.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
At the same time.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
You did a great job on Next today helping people
understand how money supply and inflation and type together with
such a great thing. Everyone should take a look at
your ex account. Really really well done, Congressman. It is
a great honor to have you on the show today.
Thanks for joining us. We're certainly glad you're in Washington
these days. Good to have you on today. All right, folks,
after the break, Mike Ben's the man who created the
Foundation for Freedom Online and all week in long was
(14:16):
being quoted by Elon Musk on usaid. He's going to
join us to talk about why Elon Musk picked USA
Idea as his next target and react to the memo
we just put on front of the screens a little
bit ago. We'll have all that right after our message.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
Welcome back to just the News, no noise.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
A lot of news coming out about USAID today because
the Trump administration is trying to get a handle on
where of our American taxpayer money is going and he
is enlisting the help of Elon Musk and Doge to
find out.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
So joining us now to discuss.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
More about this is the executive director of the Foundation
for Freedom Online, Mike.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Mike, Good to have you back again.
Speaker 6 (15:02):
Great, great to see guys. How are you good?
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Good, Thanks so much for being here.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
And I know that you've done a deep dive on USAID,
and Elon Musk has been very supportive of the information
that you've put out there, retweeting you over and over
and over again. When it comes to USAID, I mean,
there are so many agencies in Washington.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Our last guest, Congressman.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
Beget said, what did you say, superfluous government spending? And
I thought to myself, that's a little redundant. What is
it about USAID? What is it about that that put
it in the crosshairs of Elon Musk and caused him
to treat it.
Speaker 6 (15:35):
There are several things. There's this shear size of it.
Speaker 7 (15:38):
You know, you have a forty billion dollar budget, which
is you know, basically approximates the size of an intelligence agency.
And I think a lot of it is because USAID
is notorious for funding the darkest, most controversial, most horrifying
projects known to all of mankind, from funding the Luhan Lab,
(16:01):
to funding the irrigation of crops for heroin production, to
funding the production of fake social media websites to lure
people in and then get them to overthrow their governments,
to even setting up fake HIV clinics in order to
use as cover so that regime change and government subversion
(16:25):
work can be done under the cloak of public health institutions.
USAID has systematically corrupted both American and world trust in
the institutions that keep society going. But frankly, on a
personal note, I was not sure how I felt about
all of that until I discovered the shear and staggering
(16:47):
depths of USAID's role in the construction of the Internet
censorship apparatus that took down free speech in this America,
in America starting in twenty sixteen, And that was really
the final straw for me, because you can make the
argument that we do all these dirty deeds just as
we do in the intelligence world. I consider USA to
be an intelligence agency. We do it even though it
(17:11):
looks unseemly and it's cloak and dagger, But at the
end of the day, it expands American influence, and it
expands our ability to create import and export markets and
obtain natural resources or secure military bases or favorable trade terms.
But the fact is is when USA began to be
weaponized against American citizens and played a dominant role in
(17:34):
American politics and really played a key role in for
eight years in this country ending the First Amendment as
we knew it. That's when me personally, I felt like
I had to take the gloves off and say, actually,
this is a rogue agency.
Speaker 6 (17:49):
It needs to be shut down.
Speaker 7 (17:51):
We need to start over on the fundamental contract of
what actually goes on with these type of operations.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Yeah, he did such a great job, Mike, of showing
USAID's role in the censorship complex. I want to talk
a little bit about what happens to USAD. Musk and
Trump said today that they're going to try to shut
it down. It's actually an agency that most people assume
is under State Department, but it was sort of created
not to ensure American influencer brow but apparently to ensure
(18:17):
the independence of bureaucracts because baraucrats basically run this. Talk
a little bit about the history of its sort of
one offness, that it kind of on its own, does
its own thing, and what Trump and Musk are likely
to do with it.
Speaker 7 (18:32):
Well, that's one of the great ironies of this, which
is that I've been instructing people for the past several
years to see the CUSAID as the US State Department
and to not not draw an inch of daylight between
USAID and State. And you have to understand the CIA
was supposed to originally be parked under the State Department,
if you read George Kennon's nineteen forty eight memo the
(18:54):
Inauguration of Organized Political Warfare. Right when the CIA was constructed,
they want to park CI operations directly under State, but
felt that it had to be an independent agency in
order to ensure that the fingerprints of the State Department
were not on the we're.
Speaker 6 (19:09):
Not on the gun of CIA work.
Speaker 7 (19:11):
And that was the same fundamental, uh, you know, operating
modus operandi for moving USAID as into an independent aid
agency outside of the State Department. But I consider USA
to be essentially a mutant baby of CI and State.
But the implications of it are that USAID gets access
to areas that the State Department cannot under the ruse
(19:35):
of being a humanitarian group and having humanitarian workers. They
can get into places that diplomats cannot. They can get
into local populations, they can get into institutions, they can
get into government facilities, they can they can trespass where
the American State Department technically would not be allowed or
(19:56):
would draw eyes or the eyre of local governments, and
so it's very you useful as a sort of intelligence
cloak for the sort of things.
Speaker 6 (20:03):
That the state part would want to do.
Speaker 7 (20:04):
Anyway, So I do find it ironic that the plan
is not so much to shut down USAID, although it
is it is very powerful symbolically.
Speaker 6 (20:15):
This is a huge you know, this is a.
Speaker 7 (20:17):
Huge moment in the history of American state craft what's
happening today. But my concern is that killing USAID does
not actually end USAID operations, simply closing down the building
and moving under state This could end up just giving
the State Department a USAID herpes infection unless the underlying
operations are treated on a permanent basis and both the
(20:41):
funding and the structure of what we do undergo serious reform.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
As not a.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
Visual I needed on a Monday, But Mike, I want
to ask you about this. This in geoconsortium that threatened
Vladimir's Lensky, I mean, weeks after his election, talking about
these red lines that are not to be crossed. I
don't know what it is about the United States and Ukraine.
It almost feels like there's a laundering aspect to it
(21:07):
when it comes to regime change and all.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
The forcing of policy on that country. But what was
this about.
Speaker 7 (21:16):
Well, this was May twenty nineteen, one month after Selenski
was elected in Ukraine. And this is standard issue. USA
does this around the world. This is how USAID in
some respects controls the world and the way that the
CIA used to and still does through its interlinkages with
the USA.
Speaker 6 (21:33):
But effectively American state craft.
Speaker 7 (21:36):
Works through its soft power projection through what it calls
democratic institutions. And we say that democracy is the good guy.
Autocracy is the bad guy. So democratic institutions are good
guy institutions. And good guy institutions can take the form
of media institutions, government institutions, regulatory institutions, financial institutions, a
(21:58):
nonprofit and civil society and academic institutions, you name it,
but basically it means good guys. They're on our side,
and we get them on our side by paying them
money and having them sign USAID grant agreements or getting
State department grants or contracts. Either will co opt existing
(22:19):
institutions or will create new ones.
Speaker 6 (22:22):
New NGOs.
Speaker 7 (22:23):
And so what we do is we do a civil
society and circlement tactic. We do this everywhere. This is
standard operating procedure. And the governments in power who are
dependent ons US financial or security assistance, or trade relations,
or you name it, or just simply feared the US
government overthrowing them, listen to these democratic institutions, these USAID
(22:47):
grantees that effectively serve as a shadow diplomacy force for
the US government, because US government doesn't want to get
caught on hot mic like Victoria Newland did dictating the
terms of another country's government.
Speaker 6 (23:02):
We call that autocracy.
Speaker 7 (23:04):
We call that meddling in foreign elections, and we say
you shouldn't do That's what we do is we send
in the USAID angoswarm to do it. And everybody in
that country knows that represents the US government because they're
all funded by the US government. And what happened in
this case was Zelensky was threatened with twenty five red
lines not to be crossed, which was USAID basically saying
(23:25):
through its seventy undersigned NGOs that Zelensky could not participate
in any negotiations with Russia. This is in twenty nineteen,
before the war broke out. Without those civil society institutions,
those USAID cutouts present at the negotiating table.
Speaker 6 (23:43):
He was not allowed.
Speaker 7 (23:44):
It was control over their media institutions, not being allowed
to host certain kinds of content. It was control over
the language, not allowing, for example, the Russian language to
be played on Ukrainian state media or Ukrainian state radio,
basically balkanizing the country and not allowing any unification between
the ethnic Ukrainians and the ethnic Russians. It also banned
(24:07):
Zelensky from being able to do any sort of structuring
in the energy space or with respect to Ukrainian banks,
for example. It forced Zelensky, under the red lines to
go through with the IMF, the International Monetary Fund its
plan to privatize the state's energy assets and turn them
(24:29):
over to Wall Street and London investors like George Soros
and so Zelensky was a puppet of USAID, civil society
and circlement swarm from practically the day he took office.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Amazingly, I have an idea, Donald Trump should declassify all
the documents around the twenty fourteen maye on Revolution to
let us know where the United States government played a
role in housting and democratically elected leader of Ukraine. It
seems to follow from the narrative you have that maybe
it started earlier, but that's something Donald Trump could do
that would.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
Be avory new one problem if that happened.
Speaker 6 (25:03):
Yeah, John, can I make two quick points on this please.
Speaker 7 (25:06):
One is there's a great quote in twenty fourteen from
Chris Murphy, Senator Chris Murphy, who today was protesting outside
of US ad HQ, saying this is an attack on
democracy to have the democratic, the elected government reorder.
Speaker 6 (25:19):
The executive branch.
Speaker 7 (25:20):
Well, Chris Murphy proudly said on live national television as
the Midon Square successfully overthrew that democratic elected government Ukraine
that this was only made possible because of the US
government pressure to overthrow that regime. Chris Murphy straight up
said it, and he was boots on the ground there
with John McCain at the time. But the second thing
(25:42):
I want to just memorialize, perhaps in this segment, is
that John, you had a great idea a few months
back about an additional round of Twitter files because of
the censorship by the American government and by US funded
NGOs that pressure tech companies as well put a human
(26:02):
a huge amount of pressure to censor various forms of
various American narratives amongst Americans about the Ukraine situation. For example,
you are not allowed on Twitter to say the CIA
whistleblowers names Eric Ciamarella. You were not allowed to say
his name on Twitter. Well, did someone at the federal
government tell Twitter that they shouldn't be allowed to say that?
(26:26):
Was that done through an NGO interlocutory It'd be great
to be able to get the Twitter files of.
Speaker 6 (26:30):
What really happened in Ukraine.
Speaker 7 (26:34):
To American social media, but to be able to talk
about scandals in Ukraine in twenty nineteen twenty.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
I love that idea. Yes, great, I's agreed that you
come up with the best, Mike.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Absolutely, And you know, whether it's US eight or the
CIA whenever.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
Right here, that version of state craft described as we're
the good guys and we're on your side. I always
wonder if that means the American people's side. I'm a
little bit dubious. Mike Ben's the executive director of the
Foundation for Freedom Online. Always a joy to have you here,
Thanks so much for being here. Thanks guys, all right,
everybody coming up after the break. Angela Satton King is
going to be here to discuss her new book and
much more.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Hey, folks, did you know that American homeowners have over
thirty two trillion dollars? That's an amazing figure, but you
would know the bad news. Criminals are targeting it with
a growing scam the FBI calls house stealing. Scammers can
transfer your title right out of your name using a
one page document they file at the county, then.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Take out loans against your.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Equity, even sell it behind your back. And the scariest part,
you won't find out about it until collection or foreclosure
notices start arriving in your mailbox. Now, that is something
you don't want to have happened, leaving you. Of course,
when that happens in a financial and legal nightmare. The
best way to protect your equity is with home Title
Locks exclusive million dollar triple lock protection. This service office
twenty four to seven monitoring urgent alerts, and if fraud
(27:56):
should occur, the USPAS Restoration team will spend up to
million dollars to fix the fraud and restore your title.
So when was the last time you checked on your title?
If you like me, the answer is never, and that's
exactly why scammers are counting on you to fail. The
good news is for twenty twenty five, hometitle lock is
offering you twenty five percent off and you also get
a free title history report when you go to hometitle
(28:18):

Speaker 2 (28:27):
Go to hometitle lock dot com.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Use the promo code JTN twenty five. All right, folks,
we'll come back to the commercial bag. A little breaking
news we just learned from the White Asset. President Trump
and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Nettinato will have a press
conference tomorrow after they meet to talk about the Hamas
(28:50):
pcase fire and other things going on in the Middle
East region. I expect to hear maybe some news about
warming relations with Saudi Arabia. That's another thing I'm hering
a lot about as well. All right, Joining us now,
the author of the new book King Trump Kennedy Rescued
by King Pardon by Trump, Positioned by Kennedy her advacy
famous he got a pardon by President Trump and a
(29:11):
role in his first administration working on criminal justice for
gold to welcome back to the show, Angela Stanton King, Angela,
good to have you on the show.
Speaker 8 (29:19):
Wow, Hi, John, it is wonderful to be here.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Congratulations on a very powerful book.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
I know this is going to make a lot of
waves all across the country. Tell us what motivates you
to write it and why it's so important at this
very moment in history.
Speaker 9 (29:34):
Wow, King, King, Trump Kennedy is a book about my life,
of course as a memoir, and it's about the wonderful
work that I've been able to do with each one
of these families, these legacies, and how the most unlikely
of alliances can come together for the betterment of America.
Speaker 8 (29:51):
So King tells the story of me working.
Speaker 9 (29:53):
With the King family for twenty years on community restoration.
Trump tells the story of me working with the Trump
administration on criminal justice reform.
Speaker 8 (30:03):
And Kennedy tells the story of.
Speaker 9 (30:05):
Me working directly with OURFK to fight for our medical freedom,
then becoming a senior advisor.
Speaker 8 (30:11):
On his hit campaign, and being.
Speaker 9 (30:13):
Partially responsible for the forming of the Unity Party. RFK
and Trump are two of my favorite people, so I
fought very hard to bring them together, and I don't
know if anybody is more excited about this than I.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
Am, Angela, is something else that you fought for during
President Trump's first administration was the First Step Act, in
the Second Step Act, And I know that there is
a lot of reform to be done, continuing reform, building
on what was done during that first term.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
What do you want to see expanded in his second term?
Speaker 9 (30:44):
Well, you know, there's a lot of talk now because
Trump actually won this presidency being a convict, if you
want to say, even though we note that there are
trumped up charges, but this just tells me that Trump
is going to fight extra extra harder to make sure
that the past.
Speaker 8 (31:00):
Have to reform is more accessible.
Speaker 9 (31:02):
I mean, I do believe that when somebody has completed
their sentence and they've served all of their time, you know,
and paid their debt to society that depended on the charge,
you know, they should have a fresh start on life.
Speaker 8 (31:14):
They shouldn't even need a pardon.
Speaker 9 (31:15):
So the fact that you have to continue to walk
around being labeled as a convicted feeling after you've been
reformed is absolutely ridiculous. And cannabis reform, I mean, listen,
we have people in prison right now that are serving
life sentences for marijuana, and they've legalized it in nearly
half of the states.
Speaker 8 (31:34):
Those are some of the things that I'd like to see.
Speaker 9 (31:36):
I know Trump is going to do wonderful work with
criminal justice reform. And then my guy RFK the confirmation
here and is on tomorrow. He's going to do some
wonderful work with making America healthy because one of the
things we have to address in the criminal justice world.
Speaker 8 (31:51):
Is mental health.
Speaker 9 (31:52):
You can't send someone to prison for twenty years or
twenty five years and get them out and then think
that there are no mental health issues that need to
be addressed.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
Yeah, very well spoken, very true.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
One of the great characters in your personal stories Alvida King.
We love her. We've had her on the show many times.
She's such an awesome person. Tell us a little bit
and remind the audience how you and Alvida became connected
in the role she played in your life.
Speaker 9 (32:17):
I just love Alvida. Do you see how I just
smile when you say her name. I think she kind
of has that impact on all of us. Alvida was
someone that I met when I got released from prison
back in two thousand and five.
Speaker 8 (32:30):
I didn't have anywhere to go.
Speaker 9 (32:31):
My children and I were homeless and we were searching
around looking for shelter, and we came to a women
and Children's CRISI Center and Nolvida was the woman that's
working behind the desk that day, and she took.
Speaker 8 (32:43):
Me up under her wing.
Speaker 9 (32:44):
She eventually gave me a job, helped us get an apartment,
get on our feet, and I worked for twenty years
with her and her family on restoring our communities. Eventually
got married to a king. That's how I got the
last name.
Speaker 8 (32:56):
A lot of.
Speaker 9 (32:57):
People get confused on that, but it's just like this
story of Joseph. You know, Joseph was abandoned by his brothers,
he went to prison, he found favor with the king,
and God loves me so much, he says, I'm going.
Speaker 8 (33:08):
To give you the name and the family.
Speaker 9 (33:10):
Then my relations with Albeta, of course led to me
meeting Donald Trump. She asked me a few years back
if I would go in and tell Trump my story
about criminal justice reform. And I went in and I
shared my story with Trump about how you know, I
was pregnant and forced to give birth to my daughter
chain to a bed for non violent crime.
Speaker 8 (33:30):
President Trump not only changed.
Speaker 9 (33:32):
The law to make it illegal, but he gave me
a full and unconditional party. I went on to run
for office to continue to fight for criminal justice reform,
and then from there that's when I met RFK when
COVID hit, and now working directly with RFK as a
senior advisor, just focusing on everything that we could possibly
(33:52):
do to make America healthy.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
I love it.
Speaker 4 (33:55):
Angela, have such a great story, but you also have
such great perspicacity when it comes to politics and reading
the tea leaves.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
And OURFK Junior is going to be.
Speaker 4 (34:03):
Up for for a vote soon. He's got another meeting
for his confirmation process. What do you anticipate it's going
to happen?
Speaker 8 (34:10):
You know, I tell people this all the time.
Speaker 9 (34:13):
We see stuff in the news, but I really think
that OURFK is the one person that has the power
to shift this political atmosphere.
Speaker 8 (34:21):
He is the one that brought us together when.
Speaker 9 (34:24):
He switched to Independent and I had the opportunity to
work with him and his team. It made me realize
that America was ready to put people over party and
the one thing that we can all agree on is health.
We all want to be healthy. We all want our
children to be healthy. This isn't a fight between the
left or the right. This is just the right thing
(34:44):
to do for our country. And I've got faith that
he is going to be confirmed, and I'm excited about
the work that he's going to do and the work
Trump's going to do.
Speaker 8 (34:53):
It's going to be an awesome four years.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
Yeah, we've got just a few seconds left, and I
want to ask a little bit about the Naziah Harris
proposed legislation. I know this is very dear to you,
it's dear to a lot of people. Tell us about it.
What it would do.
Speaker 8 (35:07):
Yeah, the Nazia Harris law. This is a story that
came out of Detroit.
Speaker 9 (35:11):
The thirteen year old girl was unfortunately grown by a
family member, she ended up getting pregnant, wouldn't have an abortion,
and unfortunately they took her life in a very, very
very dramatic way. And I think that what we need
to do is pass the law, the Naziah Harris laws
that change dot org where if you're an adult and
if you are aware of a child being abused physically
(35:32):
or sexually in the home and you don't report it,
that you are also held to legal consequence.
Speaker 8 (35:38):
Stories are coming out. The truth is coming out.
Speaker 9 (35:40):
We're finding out that there were people aware of what
was happening to Nazaia and this older member of the family.
Nobody reported it. This could have been prevented. We see
these things happen so many times. But you guys, you
know we are the party of fighting for and protecting
our children. This is just one case of many, and
I think that the atmosphere is right, the time is now.
Speaker 8 (36:03):
Let's make this law and the desire here is law.
Speaker 9 (36:05):
Let's pass it and make people responsible for the children
that we're supposed to protect.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
So amazing work you continue to do to make a
different in people's life.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
Angelos Stan King to.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
Have you on, folks, Go get this incredible book, King Trump,
Kennedy rescued by King, pardon by Trump, positioned by Kenny.
Speaker 2 (36:22):
What a great story. Thanks for joining me. All right, folks,
we're gonna take a quick commercial break.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
When we come back, we're gonna say on the topic
of making America healthy again, we'll bring it to speed.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
Right if these commercial messages.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
All right, folks, we'll come back to the commercial break
a little bit more breaking news. Tulci Gabbert justs got
some big news on Capitol Hill, Senator Susan Collins off
in a swing vote. Sometimes she goes to the Democrats,
sometimes she goes to the Republicans. Says she will support
Tulci Gabbert to be d and I the next day
and I have America. That's a big win for Donald
Trump and for Chelsea Gabbett. We have it over at
(37:05):
justinews dot com. Doo check it out all right. Joining
us now a very familiar face on this on this network.
Best selling author, podcaster, fitness instructor and host of her
own show here on ARIV on Sunday's Faith and Freedom.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
Shamaine Nugent is with us today. Shamaine, great to have
you on the show.
Speaker 3 (37:21):
Thank you so much for having me.
Speaker 10 (37:22):
It's an honor.
Speaker 1 (37:23):
We love to have you on. We love all the
great work you do. We have been talking about the
importance of college and on the show for a few
months now, trying to educate people. You picked up some
simple life changing health tips on your journey. What's one
thing anyone can start today to do?
Speaker 10 (37:39):
You know, I've been in the fitness industry for forty
four years, but who's counting anyways, a long time. I've
seen a lot of things come and go, and mostly
January comes around, everybody wants to get in shape, they
have a New Year's resolution, and then what, it's February now,
and all of that goes away. I see the same
people doing the same thing every year, trying too hard.
Speaker 6 (38:01):
New Year's resolutions.
Speaker 10 (38:03):
Are gone by now. But my advice is to start small.
It's way easier to stick with making change that way.
And the first thing you're not going to want to
hear this, but the first thing I do is, let's
overhaul the diet. It's no simple task, it's very difficult.
So what do you do. You can just start with
(38:24):
one small change. One small change can make a huge difference.
And what would that be. You can just take one
sugary drink or soda and swap it for one scoop
of field of grains each day, and you're going to
start feeling better and notice the difference immediately, and it's
so much easier to keep going and chamine.
Speaker 4 (38:46):
Something I've found with stuff like this is that once
you start feeling those initial effects, it causes you, it
incentivizes you to clean up the other aspects of your life.
Speaker 3 (38:55):
And move in a more healthy direction.
Speaker 10 (38:58):
You're less likely to eat twinkie and cupcakes and things
like that because you're feeling better and as soon as
that happens, as soon as you indulge in something. Look,
our bodies are.
Speaker 3 (39:09):
Made to be fueled by nature.
Speaker 10 (39:11):
My husband and I, you guys probably know, are pretty much.
We're hunters and we live off the land and we
also grow a garden. But especially during the winter, it's
really hard to find fruits and veggies. But Field of
Greens is a simple way to make those changes. It's
whole fruits and vegetables in one serving, and to me,
(39:32):
it's a no brainer. It's doctors regarding this product. They're
taking all of the best essential nutrients from fruits and
vegetables and carefully selecting everything to benefit specific health like heart, liver, kidney, lungs, metabolism, and.
Speaker 6 (39:51):
Even healthy weight.
Speaker 10 (39:53):
And each ingredient serves a purpose, and to me.
Speaker 8 (39:56):
That's why it works.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
It's pretty amazing.
Speaker 1 (39:59):
I started using it about two years ago and it
changed everything in my life. My blood sugar went down,
my blood pressure went down, my cholesterol went down, my energy.
Speaker 2 (40:07):
Went up, and it was really known.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
So when the first time you go to the doc
draft you've been on in about two three months and like, hey,
what are you doing?
Speaker 2 (40:12):
What's going on here? Did I change something? Like?
Speaker 1 (40:14):
No, I just started taking Field of Greens for people
who have struggled for a long time to get into
a healthy pattern.
Speaker 2 (40:21):
How does Field of Greens work?
Speaker 1 (40:22):
Why does it do so well in just getting someone
like me back onto a more healthy lifestyle.
Speaker 10 (40:28):
Well, like I said, we all want to make change,
but when you look at overhauling your whole diet or
exercising two hours a day in the gym, it's just
not doable. So one simple change is and like you
both said, it's amazing when you start noticing that it's
working for me. When I'm traveling or I happen to
miss a day, I just feel tired and sluggish and
(40:51):
quite honestly bloated. And we just ted and I both
take this, and we're busy all day long like you
probably we are. But this is the clincher. Field of
Greens has a better health promise. If your doctor doesn't
notice the difference in your blood work and overall health,
you get your money back, Like who does that?
Speaker 3 (41:13):
Yeah, yeah, I know, and I know Shemi.
Speaker 4 (41:16):
Field of Greens, they're they're all. They're very selective and
specific about the ingredients that they include in these powders.
Speaker 3 (41:23):
Tell us about it.
Speaker 10 (41:25):
You know, I don't have time to go through what
is going to benefit my heart, what's going to benefit
my kidneys, what's going to be I don't have time
to do all that. I think it's great if you do,
if you can be very specific in your diet.
Speaker 3 (41:38):
But Field of.
Speaker 10 (41:38):
Greens makes it so simple. And again it's just one scoop.
Put it in your water or juice during the day
or you're smoothie, and it really keeps you going all
throughout the day. And it's been a game changer for me.
I got to tell you it's I'm the older I get.
When TED and I wake up, it's not even good morning.
Speaker 8 (41:59):
The first thing we.
Speaker 3 (42:00):
Say is how to sleep.
Speaker 10 (42:02):
And the older I get, the more I realize it's
all about how you feel. And if you don't feel
good during the day, then you don't have you can't
continue to do God's good work. And I heard you
guys talking off off air. There's so much going on
right now in the world today. We have got to
stay healthy We have got to make America healthy again.
With sixty percent of US adults overweight, we got to
(42:26):
make these changes. We can't rely on Trump or Kennedy.
It's got to start with us. And this is one
simple thing that you can.
Speaker 1 (42:32):
Do that's really a great point. Real quickly, Samane, I
know you got a new book out. It's right on topic.
Tell us a little bit about it.
Speaker 10 (42:39):
Yes, Abundantly Well is an amazing book.
Speaker 3 (42:43):
I think I put my.
Speaker 10 (42:43):
Heart and soul into it, and it's simple tips that
can take you through this journey. It's available on Amazons
forty Day Guide to Weight Loss, Increased Energy, and it's
packed with my favorite workouts and recipes and motivation to
keep you on track.
Speaker 1 (43:00):
Yeah, pretty darn amazing. We love it. We love the
fact that you're on this network too. You make us
smarter and wiser every time we talk.
Speaker 6 (43:06):
Too.
Speaker 2 (43:06):
Good to have you one, Thanks for.
Speaker 8 (43:07):
Joining us, Thanks for having me.
Speaker 1 (43:09):
All right, folks, if you want to go take advantage
of field of Greens for yourself, use my promo code
just us at Fieldergreens dot com and you're going to
get twenty percent off of discount twenty percent. It's a
great deal and like Chermaine told you, if it doesn't work,
you get your money back. Your doctor is going to
notice something. Trust me, it's an amazing thing. All right,
we're gonna take a quick commercial break when we come
back a man tonight. Well, we've got some thoughts on
today and also thoughts about being together on set now
(43:31):
full time.
Speaker 2 (43:31):
It's gonna be a lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (43:33):
But we'll have all that right after these messages.
Speaker 3 (43:46):
Welcome back everybody. It's the final segment.
Speaker 10 (43:48):
John.
Speaker 4 (43:48):
I just want to chat for a moment about USAID
because you know, it's my first day in Washington, so
I'm reflecting on my experience in LA. But I imagine
you have the same thing here in Washington where you
drive down the street and you see a business and
something random and it's all they sell, like buttons or
foam or something, and you think to yourself, how do
they survive?
Speaker 3 (44:07):
That's got to be a front.
Speaker 4 (44:08):
Yeah, yeah, I haven't yet driven by USAID here in Washington,
but I have a feeling that I'm going to think
the same thing.
Speaker 2 (44:15):
Well, it's been upfront for bad actors for years.
Speaker 1 (44:17):
It's been a front for globalists to carry out agendas
that may not have even been at President of the
City President's agenda, as Mike Ben's reminded us, Yeah, listen,
it's also been a home for fraud, insanity in spending
for AGESOUN.
Speaker 2 (44:32):
When I first came to town, I did.
Speaker 1 (44:34):
A series of projects on USAID and then ten to
fifteen years later I did them on during the pet
FI project, the AIDS project, all the waste that had
occurred in that project, and it just continues on. And
this is in my lifetime thirty two thirty three years
in Washington. Now the most serious effort to try to
fix it and to fix the foreign A process when
(44:54):
four and eight is to doled out in our interest
and smartly, it actually does bring prestige and influence and
carry out our agenda. But USAD often hasn't succeeded at that.
And that memo we showed at the top of the
show really illustrates. I mean, think about this. They weren't
vetting for terrorists as contractors and grant recipients. They weren't
checking people whether they had criminal backgrounds or criminal history
(45:16):
of fraud, and that they were giving out tens of
billions of dollars here. I mean, it's basic due diligence.
If we bring a contractor in our home, we check
the better business pier. At least it's an agency that's
been sick for a long time.
Speaker 2 (45:27):
And finally make.
Speaker 4 (45:27):
Sure that Sesame Street and condoms and DEI are available
on foreign.
Speaker 2 (45:31):
Country is crazy, isn't it? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (45:33):
Yeah, that story that he told us about Ukraine was
amazing that. I mean, who are we to tell Ukraine
what they can and can't do?
Speaker 3 (45:38):
Absolutely? Absolutely?
Speaker 6 (45:39):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (45:39):
I want to highlight a story that was over on
justinnews dot com regarding automatic voter registration.
Speaker 3 (45:45):
People who are.
Speaker 4 (45:45):
Not legal voters on the roles allowed to be on
the rules in South Dakota and Oregon.
Speaker 2 (45:50):
Yeah, foreigners, they got on the rolls.
Speaker 1 (45:51):
They fortunately didn't vote in most cases they were caught
in the final vetting process. But did we want to
let it get that close? Why that automated registration can't
decipher between citizens and non citizens if you don't have
a voter identification requirement. And I think that's why President
Trump is pushing for a national Voter IDAN. New polling
data out I think today for Mascuson reports seventy seven
(46:14):
percent of American support voter IDAN. It's a no brainer,
except for Democrats who always oppose it and want foreigners
to vote in an election which Americans don't want. And
I think that gets to the larger subject. I know
you've got a great story coming out tomorrow. I can't
wait to read it on the message that the Democrats
continue not to receive from the American public. Right, the
two white guys, and again, I'm a white guys. I
(46:35):
have nothing against white guys, but all right, after all
the DEI preaching, they picked two white males, and these
are guys that have doubled down on all the issues
that the American public just rejected in the twenty twenty
four election. And I'm wondering what is he going to
take for the Democratic Party to get that V eight
moment when go oh wait, we're on the wrong course.
Speaker 3 (46:54):
I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (46:55):
It reminds me I'm trying to remember the name of
a fish that starts with an R.
Speaker 3 (46:59):
But it sucks off the skin of sharks, sucks off algae, and.
Speaker 4 (47:04):
You know, all different types of bacteria and nutrients for
this fish. And it's almost like Democrats or the fish,
and or Democrats are the fish.
Speaker 3 (47:12):
The shark is DEI. The shark has died, but they are.
Speaker 4 (47:16):
Still trying to suck nutrients off of that shark.
Speaker 1 (47:19):
And Nick Beggo said it right. They created a religion
and they can't get away from it.
Speaker 10 (47:22):
Now.
Speaker 1 (47:22):
They've created a cult around identity politics that just isn't
what Americans think.
Speaker 2 (47:26):
We're a country of merit, whatever we like it or not.
We were born that way, we grew that way.
Speaker 1 (47:30):
Manifestestiny was all about merit, and the Democratic Party have
tried to destroy the system of merit. And the more
they tried to destroy it, the more they get rejected
by the American public. It's pretty remarkable. Speaking of merit,
Donald Trump's had a pretty good day. I would say
three and zero on the Tara front. You've got China
degree to talks, Canada to fix our northern border, Mexico
(47:50):
to fix our southern border. All the demagoguery in three
days leading up to today, warning that the market was
going to fall out of the sky and all of
the world's going to come to nash security is going
to be jeopardized, and we're actually safer on the northern
and southern border tonight. The market's were fine with that.
A little bit one hundred and seventy points, but that's
just a normal day. It turns out that Donald Trump
(48:10):
may actually knowing what he was doing absolutely well.
Speaker 4 (48:13):
And as you and I joked about earlier, it's Donald
Trump three and credit zero because I'm quite sure the
mainstream media doesn't really want to talk about the fact
that President Trump put this out there. He put the
KLTZBA behind it to borrow was Jewish term, and these
three world leaders reacted accordingly. And you were talking about
rest Mussen reports. He just put out another poll a
few days ago regarding President Trump's favorability and he is
(48:35):
enjoying a fifty three percent job approval rating, which for
Donald Trump, especially reflecting back to his first term when
the media was after him, made arguably to an even
worse degree.
Speaker 3 (48:45):
He didn't even hit that.
Speaker 1 (48:46):
Then, if you do what you say, say what you mean,
American Papa couldn't give you the benefit that even they
don't always agree with that, they said, hey, you're a
man of your word or a woman of your word.
You did what you needed to do. And I think
that's what Donald Trump is showing. And the one thing
America's ever valuated, did you do with the media said.
That's been the problem with prior Republicans. They capitulated to
a media that often was wrong. This president doesn't care
(49:07):
about that. He cares about what he told the American
Pubby's going to deliver what he's say on the night
of winning election. Promises delivered, promises made, promises delivered. That's
my motto. And he's off to a roaring.
Speaker 2 (49:16):
Start, all right.
Speaker 4 (49:17):
Claudia Shinbaum and Justin Trudeau both committing ten thousand troops
to their respective borders at the end of the month.
Speaker 3 (49:23):
What happens if they don't.
Speaker 1 (49:25):
Oh, the terrifs kick kid, listen. I think Nick Begott
said them. Well, the reason this work today is that
the leaders of these countries know Donald Trump is going
to do by the way he posed the terais. He
actually posed the tails on Saturday. He just pulled them
back to me. He got a capitulation. But those are
cooking tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (49:40):
You know. He means what he says, and he says
what he means. It's remarkable. That's trying to think.
Speaker 4 (49:45):
Well, when people believe that you're actually going to do it,
then that the decision carries a little bit more weight.
Speaker 2 (49:49):
Sure does.
Speaker 4 (49:50):
All right, everybody, that's it for us tonight, but we
appreciate you being here. We're going to be back here
tomorrow night at six pm Eastern on Real America's Voice
