Speaker 1 (00:21):
Good evening, America, and welcome to the thursd edition of
Justin News, No Noise. I'm your host, John Solomon, reporting
to you from a very busy Washington, d C. Where lots,
not a little, but lots of accountability have been meted
out in the last hour. I'm going to walk you
through that, but first a big teams. In just a
few minutes, we're going to spend some time with the
fifty six Speaker of the United States House of Representatives,
(00:44):
Mike Johnson. He'll be with us talk about editing from
taking on the Democrats and the shutdown to reacting to
our big scoop about those thirty million lines of phone
dowta the Congress under the J six investigation seized and analyzed.
A lot of people worried about the civil liberties implications
of that. I think Speaker Johnson will be too. All right,
(01:04):
let me get though to the top of the news,
because yesterday we had the FBI director on this show
and he said to us more accountability is coming, and
he said it could come with Antifa, it could come
with big public officials. Well, tonight, three separate indictments have
been unleashed in the last hour.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Let me walk you through them.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
The first is a former national security advisor, John Bolton,
eighteen felonies, accusing President Trump's for national security advisor, the
man who turned against the president of mishandling classified information.
Thousands of pages, the government alleged were sent by John
(01:45):
Bolton to two relatives who lived in his home, giving
secret information from his daily doings at the White House.
Some of that information was classified. Other documents taken home
or to his office were marked classified highly sensitive tops
at the compartmentalized levels. What the indictment says, this is
a very serious national security indictment, in fact, one of
(02:07):
the most sweeping I've seen in a long time as
a reporter. Now, while that was going on, a separate
grand jury in Miami indicted Smartmatic, the election computer company,
the company that creates election machines. It the government a
Trumpet Justice Department accused Smartmattic of paying a million dollars
(02:28):
in bribes to win an election contract in the country
of the Philippines.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
That is a second one.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
And if that doesn't get you excited enough or at
least your head spinning, remember just a few days ago
Democrats said there's no Antifa, it's just an idea. Well,
a grand jury in Dallas disagrees. Just about five minutes ago,
my grand jury handed up an indictment saying that a
cell of eleven Antifa members in North Texas were behind
(02:56):
a very serious attack against an ICE facility. There up
in details in this indictment about going for rifles and
trying to create harm to the ICE employees who were
just doing their job arresting illegal aliens.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
And transporting them.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
This attack occurred back around in July in I believe
it was Fort Worth if I remember correctly. So three
indictments in just a short period of time. Yes, accountability
is beginning to come. The sort of things that Cash
Betel said yesterday, the sort of things Pam Bond, he's
been talking about, the things that President Trump promised on
the campaign trail coming to bear in the United States
(03:33):
court system. And with that, let me turn to my
amazing co host, Amanda Head. She's across the way country
in California, which she'd be covering the two hundred and
fiftieth birthday of the US Marines. Amanda, we have the
FBI director saying big things coming, and the next day,
big things came.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
I was just thinking to myself as soon as that
Bolton indictment came down, I thought to myself, Wow, health
serendipitous that conversation that we had with the FBI director
last night. And I think that, you know, as he
indicated last night, and as you and I have discussed
on this show many times, this is the way that
we move back to a place where trust is re established. Now,
of course, everyone is going to want to see this indictment,
(04:11):
and you're probably going to hear the same rallying cry
from Democrats that this is politicization. But in black and
white form, it is shown what he did with classified information,
keeping it at his home, transferring it to other people,
and it's pretty hard to deny that that there is
criminality there when it's spelled out in that what twenty
(04:32):
seven page indictment. So this comes a little bit closer
I think, to restoring trust in some of those storied
institutions that have really suffered under weaponization of President's past.
But John, I want to get into some other new
President Trump. My goodness, I don't know how many hours
this week he has spoken to the press. I think
we're up to maybe eight hours worth this just this week,
(04:53):
which is incredible because you think back to Joe Biden's
term in office and it was eight hours maybe over
the course of six months or so. I want to
show you this clip of President Trump talking about Hamas
and the deal that was made and what would happen
if they breach that commitment.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
Here it is, I understand they brought back some additional
bodies today. It's a rough deal when you think of it, right,
very rough, and we have our hostage is back completely.
We were very lucky with that, but it's a it's
a tough it's a tough situation. They brought back bodies today,
she probably know. But they also said they're going to behave.
(05:32):
We're going to find out if they behave, if they
behave good, If they don't behave, we'll take care of it.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
So that, of course was President Trump talking about the
hostages that were returned through the through the items in
that agreement. And John, I just think of these families
who you know, I know that they would have rather
their loved one come home alive, but having their remains
and being able to give them a proper burial and ceremony,
and you know, just just grieve improperly and be able
(06:01):
to close the book on it.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
One of the most horrific moments in world history, and
we still don't have the chapters closed. Some moss drags
us up as long as it possibly can, which is
painful for those families. But you know, I saw some
joy just knowing for those few families who did get
their loved ones remains back some closure today and I
saw that in some of the clips, and I guess
(06:25):
we can find a little solace, and that the real
solace will be if a mass leaves Gaza and allows
for a new government to take over, because until that happens,
the Middle East and Gaza and Palestine are still a
tinderbox waiting to inflame again. So I hope, I hope
the president succeeds. I hope our country and Israel succeeds
in this. We'll see what happens. Hey man, we had
(06:46):
a great opportunity today early this morning, while you were
traveling back to the West coast and we missed you.
The Speaker of the ass Mike Johnson, joined me. Amazing,
amazing interview. A lot of conversation about holding the line,
not buckling, not giving the Democrats one inch in these negotiations,
and then reacting to some of the stuff that you
and I have been reporting on, including that revelation about
(07:07):
the thirty million lines of data.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Everybody, take a watch. This's a pretty interesting interview.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
All right, joining me now the fifty six speaker of
the United States House of Representative and the man who
has Republicans all marching in the same direction in Congress.
That's something hard to do, Speaker Mike Johnson, mister speaker,
good to have you on the show, Sir.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
John Great to be with you, my friend. You're doing
such an extraordinary job, and I'm always delighted to join
you when i can.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
I'm honored, sir. It's great to have you on.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
All right, I want to start about talking about our troops.
I walked into the studio today, there were some great
National Guard troops outside. If it weren't for President Trump's
trade craft, they would not be getting a paycheck this month.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
He made it possible.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
You got a bill through the House that gave troops
a pay raise. Democrats voted against it. You've tried nine
times to get the government omen so those troops we
shared paychecks. Why are Democrats in this position and being
so anti military right.
Speaker 5 (07:59):
Now, well, it's a great question. Everybody wants to know
the why they have chosen to shut the government down,
and it's now as you did it. Nine times in
the Senate, they've voted to continue this charade. We worked
very hard. We passed the bill September nineteenth in the House.
It's a clean continuing resolution, and what that simply means
(08:19):
for the folks back home, as we all know now,
is that it's just a stopgap funding measure. We just
needed seven more weeks on the calendar to finish the
appropriations process. We're trying very hard to restore stewardship to
this expenditure of taxpayer funds, and you need twelve separate
appropriation spills to do it. Congress hasn't worked that way
in a long time, and we were rebuilding that muscle
(08:40):
memory in the middle of that process. Just needed more
time on the clock because the end of the fiscal
year September thirty. So we passed a simple measure.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
John.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
This is what's so important. It's the exact same measure
that Chuck Schumer himself voted for in March, the continued
resolution he gave an impassioned speech on the floor saying
it was so important, and now you have forty fours
in Democrats who are holding it up, refusing to vote
for it because they want to shut the government down
for political purposes. The why is very simple. Chuck Schumer
(09:08):
is afraid that he is going to be the next
victim of the rise of Marxism in the Democratic Party.
As we all know, a Marxist Mamdami is likely to
be elected mayor of New York City, as shocking as
that is. And Chuck Schumer too, because while he is
a very leftist, progressive politician, he's not fully a communist,
and so he's not the flavor of the day. And
he is afraid that he is going to get a
(09:30):
challenge in his next Senate reelect. And that's what this
entire charade is about. They have picked a fight with
Trump and Republicans so that Chuck Schumer can show that
he's tough somehow. But the danger is that they're harming
real Americans. I mean, this is not just troops, it's
federal employees. It's TSA agents and border patrol and air
traffic controllers and people who we rely upon to keep
(09:52):
America Safe and Secure, as well as nutrition programs from
young pregnant women and health services for veterans and all
the other things the federal does. They're suspending that for
raw political purposes, and there's no other way to see it.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Yeah, and the woman who most likely would challenge Chuck Schumer,
AOC was on television alongside of Bernie Sanders. There were
some pretty remarkable exchanges, but no more sharp a contrast
about the difference between Republicans Middle America and where the
left is right now. I don't know if you had
a chance to see some of the things they said,
(10:26):
but it does seem like they're on a different planet.
Speaker 5 (10:28):
Sometimes they're definitely on a different planet. I didn't see
any of it, and I have time to watch AOC
and Bernie's talking points. They're making videos about me half
the day. I don't get time to do any of
that because I'm trying to run the ship of state here.
But I will say this, as we concluded our press
conference yesterday, we do a daily reset every morning to
make sure the American people know the simple truth and
not the obfuscation that the Democrats are engaged in. But
(10:50):
I said, what you just said John. I said that
Americans are watching a split screen. On one side, you
have President Trump and the Republican Party who are delivering
for the American people. I mean, cutting their taxes, We're
cutting regulations to get the economy going again. We're ending
the crime crisis around the country. We have ended the
border crisis. We're ending fraud, wasting, abuse in government, making
it work more efficiently effectively for the people. And now
(11:12):
President Trump is resolving international conflicts around the globe. I mean,
it's an extraordinary record that's on one side. And then
look at the split screen. Look at the Democrats on
the other side. What have they done in the last
nine months.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Nothing.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
The only thing they've accomplished is shutting the government down. So,
I mean, this contrast is so stark, and the chasm
between the philosophy of the two parties now is wider
than it has ever been. We are defending the foundational
principles of America, restoring its greatness, American strength on the
world stage and domestically, and the Democrats are electing Marxists
(11:44):
and championing that. You know, Saturday, they're going to be
parading around the National Mall. They call the No Kings Rally.
We call the Hate America Rally because have all the
Marxists collected, all the Antifa people, you know, the BLM
and remnants, you'll have you know, the pro Hamas wing
and the Democrat Party, and they're going to be out
here demonstrating and screaming and whaling. And I'm afraid that
(12:05):
Senate Democrats will not reopen the government until at least
that event is behind them because they're afraid to confront
them mob. So I mean, look at the contrast between
the two parties. The evidence speaks for itself. And I
think the American people are going to fully understand this
when we get into those midterm elections next year.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Oh yeah, you're ready starting to see numbers move in
a really remarkable direction on that election long way out.
But I think they see the record Republicans have built.
Is there any chance that Republicans fold their cards on
this or do you hold the line and make the
Democrats finally fold?
Speaker 5 (12:36):
No, we hold the line. I mean, obviously the truth
is on our side. This is simple. We're not playing
games here. I was asking Press convers two days ago,
mister speaker, when will you change your political strategy? I'm
not advancing a political strategy. I'm doing our job. We're
just trying to keep the lights on. It really is
as simple as that. I mean, John, we could have
loaded up the stopgap funding measure the cr with partisan
(12:57):
political priorities Republican priorities, but we didn't because we're operating
in good faith. So I can't go and negotiate something.
I can't go to Chuck Schumer and say, oh, gee,
you know, let me pull off these three high priority
of Republican policy writers. There are none on the document.
It's twenty four pages long. It just says keep the
lights on. So they're the ones playing games, and we
hope that all of the American people ultimately will see
(13:20):
through that. The mainstream media, the legacy media, of course,
are parroting the talking points of Chuck Schumer every day,
advancing the Chuck that the Schumer shut down, while they
also bemoan the losses to real American people. And we're
pointing out the obvious. It is Chuck Schumer alone and
forty three of his Senate Democrat colleagues who hold the
keys to this. We need sixty votes in the Senate.
(13:41):
We only have fifty three Republicans. We have to have
a few of them come along with us.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
You got this clean cr out early.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
There was plenty of time for this to get resolved
in this and obviously Democrats did it. What sort of
things are Democrats keeping Congress from doing next? Because you
still have some really big ideas of making America better.
What are some of the things they're blocking right now
them and shut down?
Speaker 5 (14:01):
Yeah, well, there's a lot of important work still on
the table before we get to the end of the year.
We have the National Defense Authorization Act, which is our
policy on national defense. I mean, obviously national security very
very important right now, our race with China, russi Ara
in North Korea, and all the other adversaries of the
country that's being held up. We have the appropriations process itself,
which is really what this is about. This is a
(14:22):
funding fight, and we're working through the process to spend
less money and spend money more efficiently and effectively. We've
got to get immediately back to that so we can
finish it up and get that job done. And of course,
you know, we have been working on Reconciliation two point zero.
The One Big Beautiful Bill was a landmark piece of
legislation a phenomenal achievement for our party and for the country,
(14:44):
the Working Families Tax Cut, we also call it, But
that's just the first of several steps. We would like
to do another reconciliation bill. And the reason reconciliation process
is so important and valuable to us is because we
don't need sixty votes. It's the one exception to the
necessity of sixty votes in the Senate. You can do
a reconciliation bill reconciling a budget with only fifty one votes,
(15:05):
a bare majority. So we can do that on our own.
We don't have to have Chuck Schumer holding it up.
He doesn't have an ability to so a lot of
really important work. That's just a few of a number
of things that are on the table. And by the way,
on healthcare, which they claim this is about, it's a
red herring. This is a funding fight, not a health
care fight. But there's the Obamacare covid Era subsidies that
(15:26):
expire December thirty first, and there's a lot of heated
debate that we've got to have in the House and
Senate to figure out what to do about that. If
there is any extension at all that has to have
massive reform, and we have five hundred and thirty five
members that have to go and arm, wrestle and debate
through all that. So we need all the time on
the clock, and they are eating that clock away right
now with these parties in political games. And I think
(15:49):
people can see right through it.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Yeah, Yeah, there's no doubt about it. I want to
turn to one thing.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Over the last decade has provided us a lot of
evidence that it's becoming easy and easier for the government
to collect much larger amounts of telephone records. We have
eight Senators and one House member whose phone records are
referred to by the FBI. While they were doing their
normal constitutional business in Congress yesterday we learned that Adam
(16:15):
Kinzinger was talking to the FBI about thirty million lines
of data Congress had collected, making sure the FBI was
going to.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Make use of it.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
You are a great civil and constitutional lawyer. Is it
time maybe to put some greater protections on our private
phone conversations and our private phone records?
Speaker 5 (16:33):
I think that the time has come for certain. What
you've uncovered there is alarming.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
John.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
We knew the January sixth Committee was a fraudulent operation
from the get go. I mean, you know, you had
two so called Republicans serving on it. They were on
the team of the Democrats, Kenjinger and Cheney, and everybody
knows now it's infamous what they did. We believe, I
believe they destroyed evidence, but we did not know the
scope of the abuses. And the fact that they were,
(17:00):
you know, collecting what thirty million metadata phone lines of
correspondence with the White House for the political purpose of
using it in the election the last election cycle is
stunning to us. And so yes, there have to be
some safeguards. I mean, the Constitution provides us a level
of privacy, and there are protections that are built into
(17:20):
the Constitution. But you know, this has gotten out of hand.
And the idea that you had, you know, eight members
of the Senate and a House Republican that were having
their phone lines tapped effectively that Adam Kinsinger, as you've reported,
offered all this to the FBI on the eve of
the twenty four election for nefarious purposes is beyond the pale.
(17:42):
I mean, it's a gross violation of the Speech and
Debate Clause the Constitution that allows for Congress to do
its work. To have a former colleague turn on his
colleagues in the House and try to use this data
that have been collected for political purposes. It illustrates the
problem here and I think the time has come for
us to reevaluate all of that.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Yeah, that's important. One last thing nonprofits. We now know
nonprofits have been used for a lot of political abuse.
We see it in nonprofits being used now to fund
groups that then foment violence, unrest, anti Semitism, hatred in America.
Is there some tax reform targeting the nonprofit well to
make sure that when we give someone a tax exemption
it really creates a public benefit.
Speaker 5 (18:24):
Well, that's a great point. These NGOs as they're called,
have been abused in so many ways and wasted money, fraud, waste,
and abuse. We found that the DOJE effort, with the
magic algorithms that we're trolling through the data, helped us
to uncover some of this that we never could have
even imagined. And so having that new troph of data
and that new insight into how this is done spurs
(18:47):
on congressional action to fix it. So lots of ideas
on the table. We've got the committees of jurisdiction looking
into that. But I think I think it's an urgent necessity.
I mean, there's been so many abuses and so much
nefarious activity and harms done to the American people because
of this. I think it's incumbent upon Congress to take
affirmative steps to make sure that didn't happen in the future.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Yeah, i'd you create some new tax revenues too, from
people who probably should have been paying taxes all along.
Mister speaker, A great honor to have you on the
show today.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Thanks for joining us on such a busy day. Really
appreciate it.
Speaker 5 (19:18):
Great to see you, my friend. Keep up with great work.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
I will so you as well. Thank you so much.
All right, folks, a quick commercial break.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
More right after these messages.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
Welcome back everybody. You probably have heard by now. There
is an ongoing political scandal playing out in Virginia involving
the Democrat Attorney General candidate Jay Jones, and he said,
among other things that were revealed in text messages, that
if there was a room with three people in it,
including Hitler, pol Pott, and former Virginia at Republican House
Speaker Todd Gilbert, and he only had two bullets. Todd
(19:59):
Gilbert would get both of those bullets. He also sent
a text admitting to hoping that Gilbert's children would die,
explaining that quote, only when people feel pain personally do
they move on policy. So some really unfortunate comments by
him that have been revealed. He is debating, actually current
a Virginia Attorney General, Jason Miarez right now as we speak,
(20:19):
So we're going to talk about that and much more.
Joining us now to talk about this is a Virginia Congressman, Benklin, Congressman,
Thanks so much for being with.
Speaker 5 (20:27):
Us, Amanda. Great to be with you, sir.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Were you surprised at how many Democrats in Virginia but
across the country who wouldn't denounce what j Jones said?
Speaker 5 (20:39):
Yes, I was very disappointed.
Speaker 6 (20:41):
You know, we talk a lot about the Virginia Way
being a bipartisan way where people work together to solve problems,
but none of that was evident to the Virginia Way
is as dead as a doornail when you're talking about
Jay Jones wishing for the killing of the former speaker
(21:03):
and his children. The speaker, former Speaker Todd Gilbert is
a constituent of mine in the Shenandoah Valley and a
friend that we served together in the Virginia House. And
so for someone to use language that really is as
as disturbing and as violent, and for that that rhetoric
to not be condemned in the form of asking him
(21:26):
to get off the ticket by Abigail Spamberger, you know
that's that speaks to her character as well.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Yeah, yeah, there's there's an extraordinary moment all of these
Democrats who tried to pretend that they're centrist, but now
they're actually showing their true colors, of Spamberger among them. Uh,
the idea that Democrats have become too extreme for America.
You had last night in the town all aoc unwilling
to say whether she would allow or prefer that illegal
(21:54):
aliens get health benefits.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
She just kind of his moot on the issue.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Spam Bigger can't denounce Jay Jones for stuff that we
all know is not the right thing to say. Is
a democratic is a Democratic party trapped by a small
portion and just unable to get out of this extremist
sort of rut they're in.
Speaker 6 (22:11):
Absolutely it is. The Democrat Party is under the control
of the left wing, and they are increasingly moving into
radical territory. You just need to look at the New
York mayor's race to see just how radical when you
have a Democratic socialist really poised to win the government
(22:33):
the mayor's race in New York City. That's disturbing, and
members of the Democratic Party are are actually endorsing him.
Some have resisted, but you know, when you resist endorsing
the mandani for mayor of New York, but you still
(22:54):
will embrace an attorney general candidate in Virginia who wishes
death on his adversaries. That's just unhinged. So it's very
disappointing and not surprising for those of us who have
been working in Washington here trying to get the shutdown resolve,
we see Democrats consistently taking radical positions.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Well in Congressman speaking of that hostage situation, because I
know a number of Republicans have referred to this shutdown
as a hostage situation. This weekend, you have this No
King's Rally, these rallies that are taking place across the country,
and there are a number of elected Democrats who are
speaking at these rallies. Of course they are attending these rallies.
Plenty of photo ops. I'm sure they're going to be
(23:40):
fund racing off of it. So that tells me that
there is no chance that this shutdown is going to end,
obviously before this weekend, But is there a chance that
after this weekend, after they've had their chance to rally
the troops in these cities across the country, maybe next
week they will come to the table.
Speaker 6 (23:58):
You know, I would hope, and I'm an optimist and
I'm a positive thinker, but when you're dealing with Democrats,
all too often that hope is dashed on the rocks
of radical partisanship. And so you're going to hear them
go call for continued fighting against Republicans this Saturday. You're
(24:22):
going to hear them all clamor to the crowds about
how they're standing up to Republicans when all we want
to do is reopen the government under the same funding
levels that it's been operating under. We've got fifty two
out of fifty three Republicans in the Senate voting to
reopen the government. Democrats have three out of forty seven
(24:45):
arguing for reopening the government. So it's clear who this
shut down rests with and for them to pivot and
all of a sudden, ignore the crowds that they've whipped
up into a frenzy saying we're going to stand up
against Republicans and turn around and say we're going to
cooperate with Republicans. I don't see that happening immediately. I
would hope, though.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
That.
Speaker 6 (25:07):
Some cooler heads in the Senate prevail that we can
find five. I don't know that there are five cooler
heads more that will vote to reopen the government, but
I do fear that these impacts on families, on working
families across America are real from this shutdown, and we
need to end it, and I hope Democrats recognize that.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
So before I let you go, a couple big developments today.
For the first time, an Antifa cel is indicted in Texas.
Democrats are telling us, as did Chris Ray at one point,
that Dantifa isn't really a group. Well, there's apparently a
sell in Texas that just got indicted by Grand jurors.
Your thoughts on some of the denihalism that the media
the Democrats have had about Antifa and anarchist groups and
(25:52):
the danger they pose on our own soil.
Speaker 6 (25:55):
Yeah, there's no group called Antifa. There's no LEADLeadership of Antifa,
but they sure have swag, and they have hats, and
they have T shirts and they have banners. So yes,
there's an organization there, and for the press to ignore
it is for them to fail to do their jobs,
which is to investigate, which is to find out the facts.
(26:16):
And the fact is that these violent activists are being coordinated,
they are being messaged, encouraged, and supported financially. I've joined
Chip Roy and others in writing to our leadership asking
that we set up a special select subcommittee to study
where the money is coming from for this, where the
(26:37):
support is coming from for these violent leftists, because there
is some organization here, and the American public deserves answers.
They deserve to live in safe cities. They deserve to
live in safe communities and not be hounded or attacked
by violent leftists.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
Absolutely, Virginia Congressman Bank and it's always an honor to
have you here, sir. Hope to get you back on
again very soon.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
Thank you, guys.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
Absolutely not right, everybody, We've got to take a quick break,
but we have a lot more for you on the
other side of these messages.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Welcome back. To America.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
I'm very excited tomorrow I'm going to be leaving for Orlando, Florida.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
No, not to go to the Disney World, to go
to something. Give me more exciting.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
The Moms for Liberty annual event is there all sorts
of luminaries, great discussion. One of them who'll be making
a big speech. Area is joining us now. She's the
vice president legal fellow at Defending Education. She's also a
former senior counsel at the US Department of Education's Office
for Civil Rights.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
She's a good friend.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
She is Sarah Sarah Partia Perry, Sarah, good to have
you on.
Speaker 7 (28:00):
Thanks for having me back.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
We love Avenue on. What a difference a year makes?
I think about a year ago, maybe when President Trump
spoke at the last Moms for Liberty event here in Washington,
people are still worried. Are we going to save education?
Are we going to roll back all this crazy ideology?
DEI see our team. What a difference a year has
made your assessment of how much progress we've made.
Speaker 8 (28:24):
I think it's hard to overestimate exactly how much progress
has been made. In fact, we've seen forty two percent
of the Department of Education shrunk with another five hundred employees,
the most bloated of all the federal bureaque. Bureaucratic agencies
already shrunk down, but we've seen funding and civil rights
enforcement continue a pace, which is great news for the
(28:44):
average American parents on the ground who has a child
with special needs, or a child who happens to be
a minority, or a child who wants to play on
the sports seems a girl and wants to make sure
there are biological protections in place to guarantee your safety inequality.
We have seen, I think, some monumental gains and a
real paradigm shift in the state of American education. We
(29:06):
know that the ultimate aim of this department is to
be essentially shuttered. They are on a Khalakazi mission, as
Secretary Linda McMahon has said, and their goal is ultimately
to send education back to the States and back to
the people and their elected representatives, which is where it
was always destined to be.
Speaker 7 (29:23):
Yeah, good, cool, Sarah.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
I think a vitals check on teachers' unions would show
that they are diminishing. Do you feel that with the
reduction in the size of the Department of Education, but
also the work of people like you and your organizations
and moms across this country who have spoken out about
school curriculum, especially during COVID when moms and dads became
uncomfortably familiar with their kids' curriculums. In light of all
(29:49):
of that, does it feel like the influence of teachers'
unions is waning and on life support?
Speaker 8 (29:55):
You know, it's interesting because we're actually seeing sort of
what I believe to be the flair before the dying
of the light, and the fact that we see people
like Becky Pringle of the AFT, and we see people
like Randy Weingarten of the NEA who are more vociferous
and they are more vitriolic in their rhetoric on things
like anti fascism in public education, and they are writing
(30:16):
books about how to teach and how to defeat principles
of fascism.
Speaker 7 (30:21):
They're not ever concerned with education. We know that. In fact,
our research is indicated they are little more than political
ajit props. They gave two.
Speaker 8 (30:29):
Hundred and twenty one million dollars in the past four
years alone between the AFT and the NEA to hard
left political causes, most of which were funded by the
Soros organization. But the fact that they are getting louder
indicates the fact that parental power is also continuing a pace.
We all had a wake up call during the COVID pandemic.
I know for my own fault that I was watching
(30:53):
over my children's shoulders is I was a senior attorney
in the Department of Education and yet online schooling three
of my own children. It was at that point at
which my own eyes were opened to exactly the curricular
inclusions that we were seeing and how public education had
begun to fail every American student.
Speaker 7 (31:09):
But it took the waking up.
Speaker 8 (31:11):
Of American parents to recognize that, to ultimately step into
our authority as those who know best about our children's education, health,
and welfare, and in fact to finally do something about it.
Organizations like Moms for Liberty and our organization Defending.
Speaker 7 (31:24):
Education are absolutely thrilled to.
Speaker 8 (31:27):
Be able to be here at this moment in time
and to actually start to see the fruits of our
hard labor.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Sarah, you do so much important work.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Your group was instrumental in exposing something, and as much
progress as we've made, and we've made a lot of progress,
you found something pretty troubling in the Seattle School District,
tell us what you found.
Speaker 8 (31:46):
Seattle Public Schools have been partnering with Seattle Children's Hospital
chop where we actually know some of the most gruesome
medical procedures are transpiring in the country. And in fact,
that department for so called gender affirming care form miners
is run by a so called non binary trans friendly surgeon,
and that individual has been working with Seattle Public Schools
(32:08):
to provide supplies for something called community health lockers. Now,
this of course sounds relatively benign, very anondyne, but these
community health lockers actually include things like trans tape and
binders and tucking tape and trans removal tape and cross
dressing clothing items. Ultimately, these particular items have been achieved
(32:30):
and received from Seattle Children's Hospital to perpetuate the notion
that children who feel genderedics for are in fact born
in the wrong bodies, so that these children can be
socially transitioned at school. It is hard to overstate exactly
how serious a dereliction of duty this is by the
school administrators, and how serious an interference with parental rights
(32:53):
to not only call children by a different name, to
not only hide school records, but to facilitate social transitioning
at school. We look forward to the Department of Education
taking a very close look at what's happening in Seattle.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
Sarah John's going to be heading down there to this
Mom's for Liberty event. I know for a fact he
is for liberty. But I also know for a fact
he's not a mom. He is a dad. However, what
role do dads play in all of this? Men who
are supporting the moms who have the backs of their children.
Speaker 7 (33:23):
I cannot tell you how important dads are.
Speaker 8 (33:25):
We're actually going to have a panel down here on
the importance of fatherhood, and there are some wonderful Christian
dads who are down here who are going to talk
about the role that they have in raising up and
equipping young men and women, raising them in the kind
of values that will not only help them flourish individually,
but that will perpetuate human flourishing in this entire nation.
Speaker 7 (33:44):
We celebrate, in very.
Speaker 8 (33:45):
Short order and only a few months next year, the
two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of this country. Strong fathers
and strong families have made our flourishing possible, and it
is ultimately essential that we keep them at the forefront
of this fight, not just the mother, but the dads
by their sides.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
One of my favorite things there was watching Charlie Kirk
so passionately advocate for the role of dad and for
dad to step up and be good men, good dads,
good husbands. We need a lot more advocates like that
in the future. I can't wait to be there tomorrow night.
Last question for you. I've heard some murmurs that the
NEA just passed some sort of resolution saying that it's
(34:23):
important that school educators teach that Donald Trump is a fascist?
Speaker 2 (34:27):
Am I misinterpreting that?
Speaker 8 (34:31):
No, in fact, you've got it directly and accurately correct.
Speaker 7 (34:34):
John.
Speaker 8 (34:34):
I have to tell you that back in July they
have an annual conference and they just passed a resolution
at the NEA to determine that Donald Trump was a
fascist and to characterize all of his policies, principles, missions,
and electives as fascist in nature, which indicates yet again, John,
that because they didn't have any resolutions related to the
(34:55):
increase in the quality of American education or flourishing for
American children, but they did in fact decide that they
were going to take a stand on fascism as purportedly
represented by our sitting president. That indicates again that these
are politicos. They are not in the individuals who are
at all concerned with American education and least of all,
with American children. Every one of your viewers and listeners
(35:19):
should bear that in mind.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
I couldn't agree more.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
And Sarah, you do so much to open our eyes
to all the insanity that's been going on an education system.
That knowledge empowers us to make the big changes we're
starting to get. Great to have you here. I can't
wait to see it. And Maouth, thanks for joining us.
Speaker 7 (35:35):
Looking forward to it. John, thank you.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
Yeah, what a great interview.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
A right, folks, were gonna take a qui commercial break
when we come back. An update on the letician James
fraud allegations. You're not gonna want to miss this. We
I have that next minut after these messages. Hey America,
let me bring you up the speed. In a quiet
but urgent issue. CBDCs, or Central bank digital currencies, are
being developed by one hundred and thirty four countries. These

Speaker 3 (36:48):
All right, Welcome back everybody. As John promised, we have
an update on New York Attorney General Letitia James. Of course,
she has now found herself in legal trouble with the
Department of Justice, indicted for fraud. The DFJ alleges that
she falsified bank documents and property records to get a
(37:09):
more favorable loan term. So joining us now is someone
who knows a little bit about home loans and breaking
the rules around them. He is Matthew Cox, a now
reformed title fraudster Matthew, thanks so much for being here,
Thanks for having me listen. Someday maybe we'll have Letitia
James on the show as a reformed mortgage fraudster. We'll
(37:30):
have to let that play out in court and see
what happens, and maybe she'll be willing to reform herself
and come back and talk about it. But tell us
exactly what she did and what it has to do
with your former line of work.
Speaker 9 (37:42):
Well, so at one point I was a mortgage broker
and a broker'sh business owner. So I've done lots and
lots of owner occupancy fraud. I mean, it is a
common it is a common form of fraud. And I
keep hearing that being said as if it justifies it
(38:04):
every you know, listen, people sell drugs all the time.
It's it's always illegal, it's always a crime, and they
keep I keep hearing these you know, I hate to
say CNN. I'm not sure if I can say CNN,
but you know, I keep seeing these these analysts on
CNN and these former US attorneys, and they're all saying
(38:25):
the same thing, which is she may have inadvertently checked
a box. Now I can tell you from being a
former mortgage broker, and having done hundreds of these types
of frauds for clients with clients, is that you don't
accidentally check that box. There is the multiple there's multiple
paperwork that goes along with it, there are multiple things
(38:47):
that you have to provide, there's multiple documents that you
have to sign.
Speaker 5 (38:52):
Nobody.
Speaker 9 (38:52):
You don't accidentally check a box and get a favorable
loan like this. This is a an overt act. And
the other thing that I've noticed over and over again
once again listening to the analysts speak on this and
former US attorneys is that they keep saying it's such
(39:14):
a minor, a minor crime, and that it's such a
small dollar amount that they wouldn't have prosecuted. I even
watched I believe it was a former US attorney who
said that the FBI has a threshold that you have
to pierce, let's say it's one hundred thousand dollars, and
that they don't prosecute anything under one hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 5 (39:36):
My first charge was wire fraud.
Speaker 9 (39:41):
For lying on an application, and the amount of loss
was zero dollars. I'd simply light on an application for
a customer, and they charged me with fraud, and my
lawyer argue the type of fraud that was going to
be bank fraud. We got it to wire fraud essentially,
(40:03):
but initially it was going to be bank fraud and there.
Speaker 5 (40:05):
Was no dollar loss.
Speaker 9 (40:06):
I got three and a half years of probation because
I pled guilty. So the idea that this is a
minor crime and it could have been a box that
was checked and it could have been you know, it
was such a small amount. None of those arguments hold up.
It certainly didn't hold up in my case. I don't
know anyone's case that would hold up. So yeah, I
just that's that's kind of my take on it.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
That's a good take matth either Matthew and I.
Speaker 1 (40:32):
You know, anyone who goes to a mortgage process, they
ask you so many are you sure this isn't your
primary residence, it's not your vacation home. They check it
so many times. There's no way you make that mistake.
You're making a conscious decision because your mortgage broker is
making sure they're.
Speaker 2 (40:47):
Dot in the eyes and crossing the t's.
Speaker 1 (40:49):
But there's another part to this, and I think it
goes back into the home title fraud. There's nobody after
this paperwork is filed that's going to check this because
everybody just processes it just like the county clerk's process it.
And that's what makes all of our homes on the
Title Thieves UH list so vulnerable. Right, there's really no
checks and balances when something is signed and sent over
(41:09):
to a county recorder.
Speaker 9 (41:10):
Is that part of the problem here, right, It's it's funny.
It's it's like, you know, there are all these all
of these bearer barriers put up, but once you're kind
of in the front door, once you're in the house,
nobody's checking. You know, once you get through the bank vault,
there's nobody in there double checking. And that's that's definitely
(41:33):
definitely the case when it comes to to a title
fraud and fraud in you know, fraud in general, bank fraud,
especially title fraud. For instance, the crime that I initially
or eventually was caught and incarcerated for was title fraud.
And yeah, once these documents are signed and they're filed
in the down downtown with the UH with the clerk,
(41:59):
nobody's double check. And that's why you could do something
like this and you can go years and years, and
nobody it never nobody ever finds out unless somebody goes
back and double checks.
Speaker 2 (42:10):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (42:11):
What is first of all, because I know you've told
us your story many times before an audience who hasn't
told who hasn't heard your story? How did you get
into it? And how exactly does it work for you
to fly this under the radar and not get caught,
Because I think you've explained to us in the past.
I mean there were cases that you didn't get caught
for for years.
Speaker 9 (42:33):
Absolutely, I went I did this for years and years
before I was caught for in any type of fraud.
And initially I got into it because I was a
mortgage broker. Then I opened a brokerage business. I hired
a dozen guys and we were running a mill initially.
Eventually I got caught for a fraud, and then I
(42:56):
started committing I stopped being a mortgage brokerage business owner,
and I just started committing real estate fraud and title
fraud in general, where I would manipulate titles, or I
would create fake identities, or I would go and find
someone's house that you know was a good house, and
really pretty much any house, and I would simply simply
(43:19):
alter or create a new title for someone's house, and
I would file it downtown, essentially stealing their house from them,
or I'd get them to rent me the house, and
I would just eliminate the mortgages on the house, and
i'd i would then steal that homeowner's identity, and then
I'd borrow two or three house two or three mortgages
on that house in the true owner's name. I'd take
(43:43):
those checks, put them into put them into various bank accounts,
and then remove the money, and then I would take
off and they wouldn't even know that a crime had
been committed until the FBI or Secret Service showed up
and told them that their house had been stolen and
that there was a million dollars or half a million
dollars and loans on their house, a house that that
they maybe owed very little money on, or maybe they
(44:05):
had a couple mortgages, but I would have satisfied those mortgages.
It's a it's a it's a very you know. Unfortunately,
it's easier. It's a crime that is easier to do
now than it than it was when I was doing it.
It's so remote now, you don't have to do anything
in person anymore. You can even do the closings remotely.
(44:27):
You can open bank accounts remotely.
Speaker 3 (44:30):
Yeah, it's it's sign up for Home Title Lock.
Speaker 9 (44:35):
You can go to their website and go to a
home title lock dot com and it's a very easy process.
You can you can fill out the fill out a
form or you can actually talk to someone and then
they actually give you a free title search on your
house to make sure that you're that there are no
issues with your house and and they set you up
with the alert. It's a it's a very easy process,
very easy.
Speaker 3 (44:55):
Yeah, an incredible coverage. You work for an amazing company.
Matthew Cox, thanks so much much for being here with
us and to our audience. If you want to make
sure that your home is protected, head on over, like
he said, to home title dot Com. Use the special
promo code jt N to get a free title history report,
and you're also going to get a free trial of
their million dollar Triple Lock protection. So that's Home Title
(45:18):
Lock dot Com promo code JTN. We've got one more segment.
We're going to take a break and we'll be right
back on the other side. Welcome back, everybody, our final
(45:42):
segment of the show, and I think that we should
end where we started so that we can dig into
some of these charges against smart Matic, against John Bolton. John,
I was looking into the details of the indictment. Eight
counts of transmission of national defense information. That's section eighteen
of the Espionage Act. Quite serious. Ten unlawful retention of
national defense information. I know you were saying at the
(46:04):
top of the show that this is something that the
scope of which you have not seen in a long time.
Speaker 1 (46:10):
Yeah, this is a heavy duty national security case. John
Bolton is probably going to spend the rest of his
life in prison if he is convicted of this crime.
He's seventy six. He's a man who knew what his
obligations were. He had been trained for years. He spoke
eloquently of what those obligations were when he was trying
to criticize President Trump for taking documents to mar Lago,
(46:32):
though President Trump had the classification authority that John Bolton did,
and if the indictment is an accurate description of what happened,
he was emailing almost daily two relatives in his home
all the things that were going on in his office,
including sensitive and in some cases classified information about what
was going on in the Trump White House, and then
(46:53):
you know that leaves it on an insecure computer. All uh,
Hillary Clinton, all the things that John Bolton criticized, he's now.
Speaker 2 (47:00):
Accused of doing. And it is a very great mine.
Speaker 1 (47:02):
He's got a big name lawyer, Abby Lole, that was
Hunter Biden's old lawyer. But this is a heavy duty
case and it's going to be very interesting to see
what the reaction is. The media was suggesting a few
weeks ago that this was a weak retribution case, and
now they're calling it very serious because you can see
(47:23):
what happened. And that same media, just a couple of
weeks ago was trying to tell us there's no Antifa,
it's just.
Speaker 2 (47:29):
An ideology, it's not a group.
Speaker 1 (47:31):
Well, don't tell that to the grand jury in Fort Worth, Texas,
which today indicted a seal, a terror sell of Antifa
and said that they carried out this attack. And there's
some really gripping details. We've posted the indictment.
Speaker 2 (47:44):
Amanda.
Speaker 1 (47:45):
This really looks like a terotyc. They're calling for guns
and arms and they're firing rockets at or fireworks at
ice people putting really people in very grave danger.
Speaker 2 (47:59):
The media has a lot of again its face tonight.
Speaker 3 (48:01):
Absolutely. Do you think that that has any impact on
these protests that will be taking place this weekend?
Speaker 1 (48:09):
No, it may embolden them. Hey may they want to
join it? Would you like to get an indictment?
Speaker 2 (48:13):
Come come on down and make some trouble this week?
Speaker 1 (48:15):
And I think the word is out that these groups are.
Speaker 2 (48:19):
Going to be cracked down quickly. We're not going to tolerate.
Speaker 1 (48:22):
We're not going to have another summer of love, which
was a summer of hate and destruction. And I think
there's another part of this too. Remember what Cash told us,
He's very close. Cash Mattel said this last I need
it very close to finding the funding arms and the
organizational arms. The people who are funding these are going
to be the co conspirators in these attacks. And I
(48:43):
think they just set the stage with this indictment to
whoever funded them.
Speaker 2 (48:46):
Their next Yeah.
Speaker 3 (48:48):
Absolutely, all right, let's move on to Smart Mattic interesting case.
And you know, I think a lot of Americans have
questions about anything pertaining to election machines, and now we
hear about this iberary case was marmatic.
Speaker 2 (49:02):
Yeah, it's really remarkable.
Speaker 1 (49:04):
And I think at the end of the day, a
million dollars to get election business is a it's a
dirty business, that's foreign bribery. And of course to make
the money move, you had to laundry to hide it.
So this is a serious black eye and the whole
election machine industry.
Speaker 2 (49:19):
Right now is a little bit of turmoil. Dominion was
just bought. This is a big case.
Speaker 1 (49:24):
It's going to be interesting to see how the twenty
twenty sixth election and the way it's administered is impacted
by these revelations.
Speaker 3 (49:32):
Yeah, and John, tonight, you're going to be heading down
to Florida. I know that the folks down there at
Moms for Liberty consider you to be a titan in
fighting for freedom and liberty, so they're going to be
delighted to see you there. And then I am going
to be driving down to San Diego tonight to cover
the United States Marines two hundred and fiftieth. John, I
am loving seeing all of the branches of the military
(49:55):
celebrate their their two hundred and fiftieth incredible.
Speaker 2 (50:00):
Love those Marines. I bet I'm surrounded by them in
my neighborhood. I just love them. They're just the greatest people.
Speaker 3 (50:05):
Absolutely, I cannot wait to bump elbows with all of
them and celebrate their birthday. All right, everybody that's going
to do it for us tonight, have a great night.
Speaker 2 (50:12):
To see you tomorrow. M HI. Sorry you're gonna run
to under the conference call, BUTOK, thank you.
Good evening, America, and welcome to the thursd edition of
Justin News, No Noise. I'm your host, John Solomon, reporting
to you from a very busy Washington, d C. Where lots,
not a little, but lots of accountability have been meted
out in the last hour. I'm going to walk you
through that, but first a big teams. In just a
few minutes, we're going to spend some time with the
fifty six Speaker of the United States House of Representatives,
(00:44):
Mike Johnson. He'll be with us talk about editing from
taking on the Democrats and the shutdown to reacting to
our big scoop about those thirty million lines of phone
dowta the Congress under the J six investigation seized and analyzed.
A lot of people worried about the civil liberties implications
of that. I think Speaker Johnson will be too. All right,
(01:04):
let me get though to the top of the news,
because yesterday we had the FBI director on this show
and he said to us more accountability is coming, and
he said it could come with Antifa, it could come
with big public officials. Well, tonight, three separate indictments have
been unleashed in the last hour.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Let me walk you through them.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
The first is a former national security advisor, John Bolton,
eighteen felonies, accusing President Trump's for national security advisor, the
man who turned against the president of mishandling classified information.
Thousands of pages, the government alleged were sent by John
(01:45):
Bolton to two relatives who lived in his home, giving
secret information from his daily doings at the White House.
Some of that information was classified. Other documents taken home
or to his office were marked classified highly sensitive tops
at the compartmentalized levels. What the indictment says, this is
a very serious national security indictment, in fact, one of
(02:07):
the most sweeping I've seen in a long time as
a reporter. Now, while that was going on, a separate
grand jury in Miami indicted Smartmatic, the election computer company,
the company that creates election machines. It the government a
Trumpet Justice Department accused Smartmattic of paying a million dollars
(02:28):
in bribes to win an election contract in the country
of the Philippines.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
That is a second one.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
And if that doesn't get you excited enough or at
least your head spinning, remember just a few days ago
Democrats said there's no Antifa, it's just an idea. Well,
a grand jury in Dallas disagrees. Just about five minutes ago,
my grand jury handed up an indictment saying that a
cell of eleven Antifa members in North Texas were behind
(02:56):
a very serious attack against an ICE facility. There up
in details in this indictment about going for rifles and
trying to create harm to the ICE employees who were
just doing their job arresting illegal aliens.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
And transporting them.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
This attack occurred back around in July in I believe
it was Fort Worth if I remember correctly. So three
indictments in just a short period of time. Yes, accountability
is beginning to come. The sort of things that Cash
Betel said yesterday, the sort of things Pam Bond, he's
been talking about, the things that President Trump promised on
the campaign trail coming to bear in the United States
(03:33):
court system. And with that, let me turn to my
amazing co host, Amanda Head. She's across the way country
in California, which she'd be covering the two hundred and
fiftieth birthday of the US Marines. Amanda, we have the
FBI director saying big things coming, and the next day,
big things came.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
I was just thinking to myself as soon as that
Bolton indictment came down, I thought to myself, Wow, health
serendipitous that conversation that we had with the FBI director
last night. And I think that, you know, as he
indicated last night, and as you and I have discussed
on this show many times, this is the way that
we move back to a place where trust is re established. Now,
of course, everyone is going to want to see this indictment,
(04:11):
and you're probably going to hear the same rallying cry
from Democrats that this is politicization. But in black and
white form, it is shown what he did with classified information,
keeping it at his home, transferring it to other people,
and it's pretty hard to deny that that there is
criminality there when it's spelled out in that what twenty
(04:32):
seven page indictment. So this comes a little bit closer
I think, to restoring trust in some of those storied
institutions that have really suffered under weaponization of President's past.
But John, I want to get into some other new
President Trump. My goodness, I don't know how many hours
this week he has spoken to the press. I think
we're up to maybe eight hours worth this just this week,
(04:53):
which is incredible because you think back to Joe Biden's
term in office and it was eight hours maybe over
the course of six months or so. I want to
show you this clip of President Trump talking about Hamas
and the deal that was made and what would happen
if they breach that commitment.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
Here it is, I understand they brought back some additional
bodies today. It's a rough deal when you think of it, right,
very rough, and we have our hostage is back completely.
We were very lucky with that, but it's a it's
a tough it's a tough situation. They brought back bodies today,
she probably know. But they also said they're going to behave.
(05:32):
We're going to find out if they behave, if they
behave good, If they don't behave, we'll take care of it.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
So that, of course was President Trump talking about the
hostages that were returned through the through the items in
that agreement. And John, I just think of these families
who you know, I know that they would have rather
their loved one come home alive, but having their remains
and being able to give them a proper burial and ceremony,
and you know, just just grieve improperly and be able
(06:01):
to close the book on it.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
One of the most horrific moments in world history, and
we still don't have the chapters closed. Some moss drags
us up as long as it possibly can, which is
painful for those families. But you know, I saw some
joy just knowing for those few families who did get
their loved ones remains back some closure today and I
saw that in some of the clips, and I guess
(06:25):
we can find a little solace, and that the real
solace will be if a mass leaves Gaza and allows
for a new government to take over, because until that happens,
the Middle East and Gaza and Palestine are still a
tinderbox waiting to inflame again. So I hope, I hope
the president succeeds. I hope our country and Israel succeeds
in this. We'll see what happens. Hey man, we had
(06:46):
a great opportunity today early this morning, while you were
traveling back to the West coast and we missed you.
The Speaker of the ass Mike Johnson, joined me. Amazing,
amazing interview. A lot of conversation about holding the line,
not buckling, not giving the Democrats one inch in these negotiations,
and then reacting to some of the stuff that you
and I have been reporting on, including that revelation about
(07:07):
the thirty million lines of data.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Everybody, take a watch. This's a pretty interesting interview.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
All right, joining me now the fifty six speaker of
the United States House of Representative and the man who
has Republicans all marching in the same direction in Congress.
That's something hard to do, Speaker Mike Johnson, mister speaker,
good to have you on the show, Sir.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
John Great to be with you, my friend. You're doing
such an extraordinary job, and I'm always delighted to join
you when i can.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
I'm honored, sir. It's great to have you on.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
All right, I want to start about talking about our troops.
I walked into the studio today, there were some great
National Guard troops outside. If it weren't for President Trump's
trade craft, they would not be getting a paycheck this month.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
He made it possible.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
You got a bill through the House that gave troops
a pay raise. Democrats voted against it. You've tried nine
times to get the government omen so those troops we
shared paychecks. Why are Democrats in this position and being
so anti military right.
Speaker 5 (07:59):
Now, well, it's a great question. Everybody wants to know
the why they have chosen to shut the government down,
and it's now as you did it. Nine times in
the Senate, they've voted to continue this charade. We worked
very hard. We passed the bill September nineteenth in the House.
It's a clean continuing resolution, and what that simply means
(08:19):
for the folks back home, as we all know now,
is that it's just a stopgap funding measure. We just
needed seven more weeks on the calendar to finish the
appropriations process. We're trying very hard to restore stewardship to
this expenditure of taxpayer funds, and you need twelve separate
appropriation spills to do it. Congress hasn't worked that way
in a long time, and we were rebuilding that muscle
(08:40):
memory in the middle of that process. Just needed more
time on the clock because the end of the fiscal
year September thirty. So we passed a simple measure.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
John.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
This is what's so important. It's the exact same measure
that Chuck Schumer himself voted for in March, the continued
resolution he gave an impassioned speech on the floor saying
it was so important, and now you have forty fours
in Democrats who are holding it up, refusing to vote
for it because they want to shut the government down
for political purposes. The why is very simple. Chuck Schumer
(09:08):
is afraid that he is going to be the next
victim of the rise of Marxism in the Democratic Party.
As we all know, a Marxist Mamdami is likely to
be elected mayor of New York City, as shocking as
that is. And Chuck Schumer too, because while he is
a very leftist, progressive politician, he's not fully a communist,
and so he's not the flavor of the day. And
he is afraid that he is going to get a
(09:30):
challenge in his next Senate reelect. And that's what this
entire charade is about. They have picked a fight with
Trump and Republicans so that Chuck Schumer can show that
he's tough somehow. But the danger is that they're harming
real Americans. I mean, this is not just troops, it's
federal employees. It's TSA agents and border patrol and air
traffic controllers and people who we rely upon to keep
(09:52):
America Safe and Secure, as well as nutrition programs from
young pregnant women and health services for veterans and all
the other things the federal does. They're suspending that for
raw political purposes, and there's no other way to see it.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Yeah, and the woman who most likely would challenge Chuck Schumer,
AOC was on television alongside of Bernie Sanders. There were
some pretty remarkable exchanges, but no more sharp a contrast
about the difference between Republicans Middle America and where the
left is right now. I don't know if you had
a chance to see some of the things they said,
(10:26):
but it does seem like they're on a different planet.
Speaker 5 (10:28):
Sometimes they're definitely on a different planet. I didn't see
any of it, and I have time to watch AOC
and Bernie's talking points. They're making videos about me half
the day. I don't get time to do any of
that because I'm trying to run the ship of state here.
But I will say this, as we concluded our press
conference yesterday, we do a daily reset every morning to
make sure the American people know the simple truth and
not the obfuscation that the Democrats are engaged in. But
(10:50):
I said, what you just said John. I said that
Americans are watching a split screen. On one side, you
have President Trump and the Republican Party who are delivering
for the American people. I mean, cutting their taxes, We're
cutting regulations to get the economy going again. We're ending
the crime crisis around the country. We have ended the
border crisis. We're ending fraud, wasting, abuse in government, making
it work more efficiently effectively for the people. And now
(11:12):
President Trump is resolving international conflicts around the globe. I mean,
it's an extraordinary record that's on one side. And then
look at the split screen. Look at the Democrats on
the other side. What have they done in the last
nine months.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Nothing.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
The only thing they've accomplished is shutting the government down. So,
I mean, this contrast is so stark, and the chasm
between the philosophy of the two parties now is wider
than it has ever been. We are defending the foundational
principles of America, restoring its greatness, American strength on the
world stage and domestically, and the Democrats are electing Marxists
(11:44):
and championing that. You know, Saturday, they're going to be
parading around the National Mall. They call the No Kings Rally.
We call the Hate America Rally because have all the
Marxists collected, all the Antifa people, you know, the BLM
and remnants, you'll have you know, the pro Hamas wing
and the Democrat Party, and they're going to be out
here demonstrating and screaming and whaling. And I'm afraid that
(12:05):
Senate Democrats will not reopen the government until at least
that event is behind them because they're afraid to confront
them mob. So I mean, look at the contrast between
the two parties. The evidence speaks for itself. And I
think the American people are going to fully understand this
when we get into those midterm elections next year.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Oh yeah, you're ready starting to see numbers move in
a really remarkable direction on that election long way out.
But I think they see the record Republicans have built.
Is there any chance that Republicans fold their cards on
this or do you hold the line and make the
Democrats finally fold?
Speaker 5 (12:36):
No, we hold the line. I mean, obviously the truth
is on our side. This is simple. We're not playing
games here. I was asking Press convers two days ago,
mister speaker, when will you change your political strategy? I'm
not advancing a political strategy. I'm doing our job. We're
just trying to keep the lights on. It really is
as simple as that. I mean, John, we could have
loaded up the stopgap funding measure the cr with partisan
(12:57):
political priorities Republican priorities, but we didn't because we're operating
in good faith. So I can't go and negotiate something.
I can't go to Chuck Schumer and say, oh, gee,
you know, let me pull off these three high priority
of Republican policy writers. There are none on the document.
It's twenty four pages long. It just says keep the
lights on. So they're the ones playing games, and we
hope that all of the American people ultimately will see
(13:20):
through that. The mainstream media, the legacy media, of course,
are parroting the talking points of Chuck Schumer every day,
advancing the Chuck that the Schumer shut down, while they
also bemoan the losses to real American people. And we're
pointing out the obvious. It is Chuck Schumer alone and
forty three of his Senate Democrat colleagues who hold the
keys to this. We need sixty votes in the Senate.
(13:41):
We only have fifty three Republicans. We have to have
a few of them come along with us.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
You got this clean cr out early.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
There was plenty of time for this to get resolved
in this and obviously Democrats did it. What sort of
things are Democrats keeping Congress from doing next? Because you
still have some really big ideas of making America better.
What are some of the things they're blocking right now
them and shut down?
Speaker 5 (14:01):
Yeah, well, there's a lot of important work still on
the table before we get to the end of the year.
We have the National Defense Authorization Act, which is our
policy on national defense. I mean, obviously national security very
very important right now, our race with China, russi Ara
in North Korea, and all the other adversaries of the
country that's being held up. We have the appropriations process itself,
which is really what this is about. This is a
(14:22):
funding fight, and we're working through the process to spend
less money and spend money more efficiently and effectively. We've
got to get immediately back to that so we can
finish it up and get that job done. And of course,
you know, we have been working on Reconciliation two point zero.
The One Big Beautiful Bill was a landmark piece of
legislation a phenomenal achievement for our party and for the country,
(14:44):
the Working Families Tax Cut, we also call it, But
that's just the first of several steps. We would like
to do another reconciliation bill. And the reason reconciliation process
is so important and valuable to us is because we
don't need sixty votes. It's the one exception to the
necessity of sixty votes in the Senate. You can do
a reconciliation bill reconciling a budget with only fifty one votes,
(15:05):
a bare majority. So we can do that on our own.
We don't have to have Chuck Schumer holding it up.
He doesn't have an ability to so a lot of
really important work. That's just a few of a number
of things that are on the table. And by the way,
on healthcare, which they claim this is about, it's a
red herring. This is a funding fight, not a health
care fight. But there's the Obamacare covid Era subsidies that
(15:26):
expire December thirty first, and there's a lot of heated
debate that we've got to have in the House and
Senate to figure out what to do about that. If
there is any extension at all that has to have
massive reform, and we have five hundred and thirty five
members that have to go and arm, wrestle and debate
through all that. So we need all the time on
the clock, and they are eating that clock away right
now with these parties in political games. And I think
(15:49):
people can see right through it.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Yeah, Yeah, there's no doubt about it. I want to
turn to one thing.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Over the last decade has provided us a lot of
evidence that it's becoming easy and easier for the government
to collect much larger amounts of telephone records. We have
eight Senators and one House member whose phone records are
referred to by the FBI. While they were doing their
normal constitutional business in Congress yesterday we learned that Adam
(16:15):
Kinzinger was talking to the FBI about thirty million lines
of data Congress had collected, making sure the FBI was
going to.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Make use of it.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
You are a great civil and constitutional lawyer. Is it
time maybe to put some greater protections on our private
phone conversations and our private phone records?
Speaker 5 (16:33):
I think that the time has come for certain. What
you've uncovered there is alarming.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
John.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
We knew the January sixth Committee was a fraudulent operation
from the get go. I mean, you know, you had
two so called Republicans serving on it. They were on
the team of the Democrats, Kenjinger and Cheney, and everybody
knows now it's infamous what they did. We believe, I
believe they destroyed evidence, but we did not know the
scope of the abuses. And the fact that they were,
(17:00):
you know, collecting what thirty million metadata phone lines of
correspondence with the White House for the political purpose of
using it in the election the last election cycle is
stunning to us. And so yes, there have to be
some safeguards. I mean, the Constitution provides us a level
of privacy, and there are protections that are built into
(17:20):
the Constitution. But you know, this has gotten out of hand.
And the idea that you had, you know, eight members
of the Senate and a House Republican that were having
their phone lines tapped effectively that Adam Kinsinger, as you've reported,
offered all this to the FBI on the eve of
the twenty four election for nefarious purposes is beyond the pale.
(17:42):
I mean, it's a gross violation of the Speech and
Debate Clause the Constitution that allows for Congress to do
its work. To have a former colleague turn on his
colleagues in the House and try to use this data
that have been collected for political purposes. It illustrates the
problem here and I think the time has come for
us to reevaluate all of that.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Yeah, that's important. One last thing nonprofits. We now know
nonprofits have been used for a lot of political abuse.
We see it in nonprofits being used now to fund
groups that then foment violence, unrest, anti Semitism, hatred in America.
Is there some tax reform targeting the nonprofit well to
make sure that when we give someone a tax exemption
it really creates a public benefit.
Speaker 5 (18:24):
Well, that's a great point. These NGOs as they're called,
have been abused in so many ways and wasted money, fraud, waste,
and abuse. We found that the DOJE effort, with the
magic algorithms that we're trolling through the data, helped us
to uncover some of this that we never could have
even imagined. And so having that new troph of data
and that new insight into how this is done spurs
(18:47):
on congressional action to fix it. So lots of ideas
on the table. We've got the committees of jurisdiction looking
into that. But I think I think it's an urgent necessity.
I mean, there's been so many abuses and so much
nefarious activity and harms done to the American people because
of this. I think it's incumbent upon Congress to take
affirmative steps to make sure that didn't happen in the future.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Yeah, i'd you create some new tax revenues too, from
people who probably should have been paying taxes all along.
Mister speaker, A great honor to have you on the
show today.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Thanks for joining us on such a busy day. Really
appreciate it.
Speaker 5 (19:18):
Great to see you, my friend. Keep up with great work.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
I will so you as well. Thank you so much.
All right, folks, a quick commercial break.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
More right after these messages.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
Welcome back everybody. You probably have heard by now. There
is an ongoing political scandal playing out in Virginia involving
the Democrat Attorney General candidate Jay Jones, and he said,
among other things that were revealed in text messages, that
if there was a room with three people in it,
including Hitler, pol Pott, and former Virginia at Republican House
Speaker Todd Gilbert, and he only had two bullets. Todd
(19:59):
Gilbert would get both of those bullets. He also sent
a text admitting to hoping that Gilbert's children would die,
explaining that quote, only when people feel pain personally do
they move on policy. So some really unfortunate comments by
him that have been revealed. He is debating, actually current
a Virginia Attorney General, Jason Miarez right now as we speak,
(20:19):
So we're going to talk about that and much more.
Joining us now to talk about this is a Virginia Congressman, Benklin, Congressman,
Thanks so much for being with.
Speaker 5 (20:27):
Us, Amanda. Great to be with you, sir.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Were you surprised at how many Democrats in Virginia but
across the country who wouldn't denounce what j Jones said?
Speaker 5 (20:39):
Yes, I was very disappointed.
Speaker 6 (20:41):
You know, we talk a lot about the Virginia Way
being a bipartisan way where people work together to solve problems,
but none of that was evident to the Virginia Way
is as dead as a doornail when you're talking about
Jay Jones wishing for the killing of the former speaker
(21:03):
and his children. The speaker, former Speaker Todd Gilbert is
a constituent of mine in the Shenandoah Valley and a
friend that we served together in the Virginia House. And
so for someone to use language that really is as
as disturbing and as violent, and for that that rhetoric
to not be condemned in the form of asking him
(21:26):
to get off the ticket by Abigail Spamberger, you know
that's that speaks to her character as well.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Yeah, yeah, there's there's an extraordinary moment all of these
Democrats who tried to pretend that they're centrist, but now
they're actually showing their true colors, of Spamberger among them. Uh,
the idea that Democrats have become too extreme for America.
You had last night in the town all aoc unwilling
to say whether she would allow or prefer that illegal
(21:54):
aliens get health benefits.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
She just kind of his moot on the issue.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Spam Bigger can't denounce Jay Jones for stuff that we
all know is not the right thing to say. Is
a democratic is a Democratic party trapped by a small
portion and just unable to get out of this extremist
sort of rut they're in.
Speaker 6 (22:11):
Absolutely it is. The Democrat Party is under the control
of the left wing, and they are increasingly moving into
radical territory. You just need to look at the New
York mayor's race to see just how radical when you
have a Democratic socialist really poised to win the government
(22:33):
the mayor's race in New York City. That's disturbing, and
members of the Democratic Party are are actually endorsing him.
Some have resisted, but you know, when you resist endorsing
the mandani for mayor of New York, but you still
(22:54):
will embrace an attorney general candidate in Virginia who wishes
death on his adversaries. That's just unhinged. So it's very
disappointing and not surprising for those of us who have
been working in Washington here trying to get the shutdown resolve,
we see Democrats consistently taking radical positions.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Well in Congressman speaking of that hostage situation, because I
know a number of Republicans have referred to this shutdown
as a hostage situation. This weekend, you have this No
King's Rally, these rallies that are taking place across the country,
and there are a number of elected Democrats who are
speaking at these rallies. Of course they are attending these rallies.
Plenty of photo ops. I'm sure they're going to be
(23:40):
fund racing off of it. So that tells me that
there is no chance that this shutdown is going to end,
obviously before this weekend, But is there a chance that
after this weekend, after they've had their chance to rally
the troops in these cities across the country, maybe next
week they will come to the table.
Speaker 6 (23:58):
You know, I would hope, and I'm an optimist and
I'm a positive thinker, but when you're dealing with Democrats,
all too often that hope is dashed on the rocks
of radical partisanship. And so you're going to hear them
go call for continued fighting against Republicans this Saturday. You're
(24:22):
going to hear them all clamor to the crowds about
how they're standing up to Republicans when all we want
to do is reopen the government under the same funding
levels that it's been operating under. We've got fifty two
out of fifty three Republicans in the Senate voting to
reopen the government. Democrats have three out of forty seven
(24:45):
arguing for reopening the government. So it's clear who this
shut down rests with and for them to pivot and
all of a sudden, ignore the crowds that they've whipped
up into a frenzy saying we're going to stand up
against Republicans and turn around and say we're going to
cooperate with Republicans. I don't see that happening immediately. I
would hope, though.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
That.
Speaker 6 (25:07):
Some cooler heads in the Senate prevail that we can
find five. I don't know that there are five cooler
heads more that will vote to reopen the government, but
I do fear that these impacts on families, on working
families across America are real from this shutdown, and we
need to end it, and I hope Democrats recognize that.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
So before I let you go, a couple big developments today.
For the first time, an Antifa cel is indicted in Texas.
Democrats are telling us, as did Chris Ray at one point,
that Dantifa isn't really a group. Well, there's apparently a
sell in Texas that just got indicted by Grand jurors.
Your thoughts on some of the denihalism that the media
the Democrats have had about Antifa and anarchist groups and
(25:52):
the danger they pose on our own soil.
Speaker 6 (25:55):
Yeah, there's no group called Antifa. There's no LEADLeadership of Antifa,
but they sure have swag, and they have hats, and
they have T shirts and they have banners. So yes,
there's an organization there, and for the press to ignore
it is for them to fail to do their jobs,
which is to investigate, which is to find out the facts.
(26:16):
And the fact is that these violent activists are being coordinated,
they are being messaged, encouraged, and supported financially. I've joined
Chip Roy and others in writing to our leadership asking
that we set up a special select subcommittee to study
where the money is coming from for this, where the
(26:37):
support is coming from for these violent leftists, because there
is some organization here, and the American public deserves answers.
They deserve to live in safe cities. They deserve to
live in safe communities and not be hounded or attacked
by violent leftists.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
Absolutely, Virginia Congressman Bank and it's always an honor to
have you here, sir. Hope to get you back on
again very soon.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
Thank you, guys.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
Absolutely not right, everybody, We've got to take a quick break,
but we have a lot more for you on the
other side of these messages.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Welcome back. To America.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
I'm very excited tomorrow I'm going to be leaving for Orlando, Florida.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
No, not to go to the Disney World, to go
to something. Give me more exciting.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
The Moms for Liberty annual event is there all sorts
of luminaries, great discussion. One of them who'll be making
a big speech. Area is joining us now. She's the
vice president legal fellow at Defending Education. She's also a
former senior counsel at the US Department of Education's Office
for Civil Rights.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
She's a good friend.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
She is Sarah Sarah Partia Perry, Sarah, good to have
you on.
Speaker 7 (28:00):
Thanks for having me back.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
We love Avenue on. What a difference a year makes?
I think about a year ago, maybe when President Trump
spoke at the last Moms for Liberty event here in Washington,
people are still worried. Are we going to save education?
Are we going to roll back all this crazy ideology?
DEI see our team. What a difference a year has
made your assessment of how much progress we've made.
Speaker 8 (28:24):
I think it's hard to overestimate exactly how much progress
has been made. In fact, we've seen forty two percent
of the Department of Education shrunk with another five hundred employees,
the most bloated of all the federal bureaque. Bureaucratic agencies
already shrunk down, but we've seen funding and civil rights
enforcement continue a pace, which is great news for the
(28:44):
average American parents on the ground who has a child
with special needs, or a child who happens to be
a minority, or a child who wants to play on
the sports seems a girl and wants to make sure
there are biological protections in place to guarantee your safety inequality.
We have seen, I think, some monumental gains and a
real paradigm shift in the state of American education. We
(29:06):
know that the ultimate aim of this department is to
be essentially shuttered. They are on a Khalakazi mission, as
Secretary Linda McMahon has said, and their goal is ultimately
to send education back to the States and back to
the people and their elected representatives, which is where it
was always destined to be.
Speaker 7 (29:23):
Yeah, good, cool, Sarah.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
I think a vitals check on teachers' unions would show
that they are diminishing. Do you feel that with the
reduction in the size of the Department of Education, but
also the work of people like you and your organizations
and moms across this country who have spoken out about
school curriculum, especially during COVID when moms and dads became
uncomfortably familiar with their kids' curriculums. In light of all
(29:49):
of that, does it feel like the influence of teachers'
unions is waning and on life support?
Speaker 8 (29:55):
You know, it's interesting because we're actually seeing sort of
what I believe to be the flair before the dying
of the light, and the fact that we see people
like Becky Pringle of the AFT, and we see people
like Randy Weingarten of the NEA who are more vociferous
and they are more vitriolic in their rhetoric on things
like anti fascism in public education, and they are writing
(30:16):
books about how to teach and how to defeat principles
of fascism.
Speaker 7 (30:21):
They're not ever concerned with education. We know that. In fact,
our research is indicated they are little more than political
ajit props. They gave two.
Speaker 8 (30:29):
Hundred and twenty one million dollars in the past four
years alone between the AFT and the NEA to hard
left political causes, most of which were funded by the
Soros organization. But the fact that they are getting louder
indicates the fact that parental power is also continuing a pace.
We all had a wake up call during the COVID pandemic.
I know for my own fault that I was watching
(30:53):
over my children's shoulders is I was a senior attorney
in the Department of Education and yet online schooling three
of my own children. It was at that point at
which my own eyes were opened to exactly the curricular
inclusions that we were seeing and how public education had
begun to fail every American student.
Speaker 7 (31:09):
But it took the waking up.
Speaker 8 (31:11):
Of American parents to recognize that, to ultimately step into
our authority as those who know best about our children's education, health,
and welfare, and in fact to finally do something about it.
Organizations like Moms for Liberty and our organization Defending.
Speaker 7 (31:24):
Education are absolutely thrilled to.
Speaker 8 (31:27):
Be able to be here at this moment in time
and to actually start to see the fruits of our
hard labor.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Sarah, you do so much important work.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Your group was instrumental in exposing something, and as much
progress as we've made, and we've made a lot of progress,
you found something pretty troubling in the Seattle School District,
tell us what you found.
Speaker 8 (31:46):
Seattle Public Schools have been partnering with Seattle Children's Hospital
chop where we actually know some of the most gruesome
medical procedures are transpiring in the country. And in fact,
that department for so called gender affirming care form miners
is run by a so called non binary trans friendly surgeon,
and that individual has been working with Seattle Public Schools
(32:08):
to provide supplies for something called community health lockers. Now,
this of course sounds relatively benign, very anondyne, but these
community health lockers actually include things like trans tape and
binders and tucking tape and trans removal tape and cross
dressing clothing items. Ultimately, these particular items have been achieved
(32:30):
and received from Seattle Children's Hospital to perpetuate the notion
that children who feel genderedics for are in fact born
in the wrong bodies, so that these children can be
socially transitioned at school. It is hard to overstate exactly
how serious a dereliction of duty this is by the
school administrators, and how serious an interference with parental rights
(32:53):
to not only call children by a different name, to
not only hide school records, but to facilitate social transitioning
at school. We look forward to the Department of Education
taking a very close look at what's happening in Seattle.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
Sarah John's going to be heading down there to this
Mom's for Liberty event. I know for a fact he
is for liberty. But I also know for a fact
he's not a mom. He is a dad. However, what
role do dads play in all of this? Men who
are supporting the moms who have the backs of their children.
Speaker 7 (33:23):
I cannot tell you how important dads are.
Speaker 8 (33:25):
We're actually going to have a panel down here on
the importance of fatherhood, and there are some wonderful Christian
dads who are down here who are going to talk
about the role that they have in raising up and
equipping young men and women, raising them in the kind
of values that will not only help them flourish individually,
but that will perpetuate human flourishing in this entire nation.
Speaker 7 (33:44):
We celebrate, in very.
Speaker 8 (33:45):
Short order and only a few months next year, the
two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of this country. Strong fathers
and strong families have made our flourishing possible, and it
is ultimately essential that we keep them at the forefront
of this fight, not just the mother, but the dads
by their sides.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
One of my favorite things there was watching Charlie Kirk
so passionately advocate for the role of dad and for
dad to step up and be good men, good dads,
good husbands. We need a lot more advocates like that
in the future. I can't wait to be there tomorrow night.
Last question for you. I've heard some murmurs that the
NEA just passed some sort of resolution saying that it's
(34:23):
important that school educators teach that Donald Trump is a fascist?
Speaker 2 (34:27):
Am I misinterpreting that?
Speaker 8 (34:31):
No, in fact, you've got it directly and accurately correct.
Speaker 7 (34:34):
John.
Speaker 8 (34:34):
I have to tell you that back in July they
have an annual conference and they just passed a resolution
at the NEA to determine that Donald Trump was a
fascist and to characterize all of his policies, principles, missions,
and electives as fascist in nature, which indicates yet again, John,
that because they didn't have any resolutions related to the
(34:55):
increase in the quality of American education or flourishing for
American children, but they did in fact decide that they
were going to take a stand on fascism as purportedly
represented by our sitting president. That indicates again that these
are politicos. They are not in the individuals who are
at all concerned with American education and least of all,
with American children. Every one of your viewers and listeners
(35:19):
should bear that in mind.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
I couldn't agree more.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
And Sarah, you do so much to open our eyes
to all the insanity that's been going on an education system.
That knowledge empowers us to make the big changes we're
starting to get. Great to have you here. I can't
wait to see it. And Maouth, thanks for joining us.
Speaker 7 (35:35):
Looking forward to it. John, thank you.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
Yeah, what a great interview.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
A right, folks, were gonna take a qui commercial break
when we come back. An update on the letician James
fraud allegations. You're not gonna want to miss this. We
I have that next minut after these messages. Hey America,

Speaker 3 (36:48):
All right, Welcome back everybody. As John promised, we have
an update on New York Attorney General Letitia James. Of course,
she has now found herself in legal trouble with the
Department of Justice, indicted for fraud. The DFJ alleges that
she falsified bank documents and property records to get a
(37:09):
more favorable loan term. So joining us now is someone
who knows a little bit about home loans and breaking
the rules around them. He is Matthew Cox, a now
reformed title fraudster Matthew, thanks so much for being here,
Thanks for having me listen. Someday maybe we'll have Letitia
James on the show as a reformed mortgage fraudster. We'll
(37:30):
have to let that play out in court and see
what happens, and maybe she'll be willing to reform herself
and come back and talk about it. But tell us
exactly what she did and what it has to do
with your former line of work.
Speaker 9 (37:42):
Well, so at one point I was a mortgage broker
and a broker'sh business owner. So I've done lots and
lots of owner occupancy fraud. I mean, it is a
common it is a common form of fraud. And I
keep hearing that being said as if it justifies it
(38:04):
every you know, listen, people sell drugs all the time.
It's it's always illegal, it's always a crime, and they
keep I keep hearing these you know, I hate to
say CNN. I'm not sure if I can say CNN,
but you know, I keep seeing these these analysts on
CNN and these former US attorneys, and they're all saying
(38:25):
the same thing, which is she may have inadvertently checked
a box. Now I can tell you from being a
former mortgage broker, and having done hundreds of these types
of frauds for clients with clients, is that you don't
accidentally check that box. There is the multiple there's multiple
paperwork that goes along with it, there are multiple things
(38:47):
that you have to provide, there's multiple documents that you
have to sign.
Speaker 5 (38:52):
Nobody.
Speaker 9 (38:52):
You don't accidentally check a box and get a favorable
loan like this. This is a an overt act. And
the other thing that I've noticed over and over again
once again listening to the analysts speak on this and
former US attorneys is that they keep saying it's such
(39:14):
a minor, a minor crime, and that it's such a
small dollar amount that they wouldn't have prosecuted. I even
watched I believe it was a former US attorney who
said that the FBI has a threshold that you have
to pierce, let's say it's one hundred thousand dollars, and
that they don't prosecute anything under one hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 5 (39:36):
My first charge was wire fraud.
Speaker 9 (39:41):
For lying on an application, and the amount of loss
was zero dollars. I'd simply light on an application for
a customer, and they charged me with fraud, and my
lawyer argue the type of fraud that was going to
be bank fraud. We got it to wire fraud essentially,
(40:03):
but initially it was going to be bank fraud and there.
Speaker 5 (40:05):
Was no dollar loss.
Speaker 9 (40:06):
I got three and a half years of probation because
I pled guilty. So the idea that this is a
minor crime and it could have been a box that
was checked and it could have been you know, it
was such a small amount. None of those arguments hold up.
It certainly didn't hold up in my case. I don't
know anyone's case that would hold up. So yeah, I
just that's that's kind of my take on it.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
That's a good take matth either Matthew and I.
Speaker 1 (40:32):
You know, anyone who goes to a mortgage process, they
ask you so many are you sure this isn't your
primary residence, it's not your vacation home. They check it
so many times. There's no way you make that mistake.
You're making a conscious decision because your mortgage broker is
making sure they're.
Speaker 2 (40:47):
Dot in the eyes and crossing the t's.
Speaker 1 (40:49):
But there's another part to this, and I think it
goes back into the home title fraud. There's nobody after
this paperwork is filed that's going to check this because
everybody just processes it just like the county clerk's process it.
And that's what makes all of our homes on the
Title Thieves UH list so vulnerable. Right, there's really no
checks and balances when something is signed and sent over
(41:09):
to a county recorder.
Speaker 9 (41:10):
Is that part of the problem here, right, It's it's funny.
It's it's like, you know, there are all these all
of these bearer barriers put up, but once you're kind
of in the front door, once you're in the house,
nobody's checking. You know, once you get through the bank vault,
there's nobody in there double checking. And that's that's definitely
(41:33):
definitely the case when it comes to to a title
fraud and fraud in you know, fraud in general, bank fraud,
especially title fraud. For instance, the crime that I initially
or eventually was caught and incarcerated for was title fraud.
And yeah, once these documents are signed and they're filed
in the down downtown with the UH with the clerk,
(41:59):
nobody's double check. And that's why you could do something
like this and you can go years and years, and
nobody it never nobody ever finds out unless somebody goes
back and double checks.
Speaker 2 (42:10):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (42:11):
What is first of all, because I know you've told
us your story many times before an audience who hasn't
told who hasn't heard your story? How did you get
into it? And how exactly does it work for you
to fly this under the radar and not get caught,
Because I think you've explained to us in the past.
I mean there were cases that you didn't get caught
for for years.
Speaker 9 (42:33):
Absolutely, I went I did this for years and years
before I was caught for in any type of fraud.
And initially I got into it because I was a
mortgage broker. Then I opened a brokerage business. I hired
a dozen guys and we were running a mill initially.
Eventually I got caught for a fraud, and then I
(42:56):
started committing I stopped being a mortgage brokerage business owner,
and I just started committing real estate fraud and title
fraud in general, where I would manipulate titles, or I
would create fake identities, or I would go and find
someone's house that you know was a good house, and
really pretty much any house, and I would simply simply
(43:19):
alter or create a new title for someone's house, and
I would file it downtown, essentially stealing their house from them,
or I'd get them to rent me the house, and
I would just eliminate the mortgages on the house, and
i'd i would then steal that homeowner's identity, and then
I'd borrow two or three house two or three mortgages
on that house in the true owner's name. I'd take
(43:43):
those checks, put them into put them into various bank accounts,
and then remove the money, and then I would take
off and they wouldn't even know that a crime had
been committed until the FBI or Secret Service showed up
and told them that their house had been stolen and
that there was a million dollars or half a million
dollars and loans on their house, a house that that
they maybe owed very little money on, or maybe they
(44:05):
had a couple mortgages, but I would have satisfied those mortgages.
It's a it's a it's a very you know. Unfortunately,
it's easier. It's a crime that is easier to do
now than it than it was when I was doing it.
It's so remote now, you don't have to do anything
in person anymore. You can even do the closings remotely.
(44:27):
You can open bank accounts remotely.
Speaker 3 (44:30):
Yeah, it's it's sign up for Home Title Lock.
Speaker 9 (44:35):
You can go to their website and go to a
home title lock dot com and it's a very easy process.
You can you can fill out the fill out a
form or you can actually talk to someone and then
they actually give you a free title search on your
house to make sure that you're that there are no
issues with your house and and they set you up
with the alert. It's a it's a very easy process,
very easy.
Speaker 3 (44:55):
Yeah, an incredible coverage. You work for an amazing company.
Matthew Cox, thanks so much much for being here with
us and to our audience. If you want to make
sure that your home is protected, head on over, like
he said, to home title dot Com. Use the special
promo code jt N to get a free title history report,
and you're also going to get a free trial of
their million dollar Triple Lock protection. So that's Home Title
(45:18):
Lock dot Com promo code JTN. We've got one more segment.
We're going to take a break and we'll be right
back on the other side. Welcome back, everybody, our final
(45:42):
segment of the show, and I think that we should
end where we started so that we can dig into
some of these charges against smart Matic, against John Bolton. John,
I was looking into the details of the indictment. Eight
counts of transmission of national defense information. That's section eighteen
of the Espionage Act. Quite serious. Ten unlawful retention of
national defense information. I know you were saying at the
(46:04):
top of the show that this is something that the
scope of which you have not seen in a long time.
Speaker 1 (46:10):
Yeah, this is a heavy duty national security case. John
Bolton is probably going to spend the rest of his
life in prison if he is convicted of this crime.
He's seventy six. He's a man who knew what his
obligations were. He had been trained for years. He spoke
eloquently of what those obligations were when he was trying
to criticize President Trump for taking documents to mar Lago,
(46:32):
though President Trump had the classification authority that John Bolton did,
and if the indictment is an accurate description of what happened,
he was emailing almost daily two relatives in his home
all the things that were going on in his office,
including sensitive and in some cases classified information about what
was going on in the Trump White House, and then
(46:53):
you know that leaves it on an insecure computer. All uh,
Hillary Clinton, all the things that John Bolton criticized, he's now.
Speaker 2 (47:00):
Accused of doing. And it is a very great mine.
Speaker 1 (47:02):
He's got a big name lawyer, Abby Lole, that was
Hunter Biden's old lawyer. But this is a heavy duty
case and it's going to be very interesting to see
what the reaction is. The media was suggesting a few
weeks ago that this was a weak retribution case, and
now they're calling it very serious because you can see
(47:23):
what happened. And that same media, just a couple of
weeks ago was trying to tell us there's no Antifa,
it's just.
Speaker 2 (47:29):
An ideology, it's not a group.
Speaker 1 (47:31):
Well, don't tell that to the grand jury in Fort Worth, Texas,
which today indicted a seal, a terror sell of Antifa
and said that they carried out this attack. And there's
some really gripping details. We've posted the indictment.
Speaker 2 (47:44):
Amanda.
Speaker 1 (47:45):
This really looks like a terotyc. They're calling for guns
and arms and they're firing rockets at or fireworks at
ice people putting really people in very grave danger.
Speaker 2 (47:59):
The media has a lot of again its face tonight.
Speaker 3 (48:01):
Absolutely. Do you think that that has any impact on
these protests that will be taking place this weekend?
Speaker 1 (48:09):
No, it may embolden them. Hey may they want to
join it? Would you like to get an indictment?
Speaker 2 (48:13):
Come come on down and make some trouble this week?
Speaker 1 (48:15):
And I think the word is out that these groups are.
Speaker 2 (48:19):
Going to be cracked down quickly. We're not going to tolerate.
Speaker 1 (48:22):
We're not going to have another summer of love, which
was a summer of hate and destruction. And I think
there's another part of this too. Remember what Cash told us,
He's very close. Cash Mattel said this last I need
it very close to finding the funding arms and the
organizational arms. The people who are funding these are going
to be the co conspirators in these attacks. And I
(48:43):
think they just set the stage with this indictment to
whoever funded them.
Speaker 2 (48:46):
Their next Yeah.
Speaker 3 (48:48):
Absolutely, all right, let's move on to Smart Mattic interesting case.
And you know, I think a lot of Americans have
questions about anything pertaining to election machines, and now we
hear about this iberary case was marmatic.
Speaker 2 (49:02):
Yeah, it's really remarkable.
Speaker 1 (49:04):
And I think at the end of the day, a
million dollars to get election business is a it's a
dirty business, that's foreign bribery. And of course to make
the money move, you had to laundry to hide it.
So this is a serious black eye and the whole
election machine industry.
Speaker 2 (49:19):
Right now is a little bit of turmoil. Dominion was
just bought. This is a big case.
Speaker 1 (49:24):
It's going to be interesting to see how the twenty
twenty sixth election and the way it's administered is impacted
by these revelations.
Speaker 3 (49:32):
Yeah, and John, tonight, you're going to be heading down
to Florida. I know that the folks down there at
Moms for Liberty consider you to be a titan in
fighting for freedom and liberty, so they're going to be
delighted to see you there. And then I am going
to be driving down to San Diego tonight to cover
the United States Marines two hundred and fiftieth. John, I
am loving seeing all of the branches of the military
(49:55):
celebrate their their two hundred and fiftieth incredible.
Speaker 2 (50:00):
Love those Marines. I bet I'm surrounded by them in
my neighborhood. I just love them. They're just the greatest people.
Speaker 3 (50:05):
Absolutely, I cannot wait to bump elbows with all of
them and celebrate their birthday. All right, everybody that's going
to do it for us tonight, have a great night.
Speaker 2 (50:12):
To see you tomorrow. M HI. Sorry you're gonna run
to under the conference call, BUTOK, thank you.
