Speaker 1 (00:22):
Good evening, America, Happy Monday, and welcome to the lates
edition of Justin News, No Noise. I'm your host, John Salomon,
reporting to you as always from the nation's capital, Washington,
d C. This weekend, we had a lot of impact
from our reporting. President Trump himself has been shining light
on our latest story on the Arctic frost investigation. That's
an investigation that was like a giant fish dragging exercise,
(00:43):
looking for any evidence that they could find to hang
something on President Trump or his followers. We'll get to
his reaction a second, but first some background on the
new information that justin News had learned about and obtained
over the weekend. It turns out an FBI supervisor who's
openly a post Donald Trump you actually to his comments
against Donald Trump on social media, played a crucial role
(01:03):
in igniting the controversial artic cross pro pressing to add
the former president as a formal subject, even though they
didn't have any evidents that the president was involved in
the alleged behavior that they were investigating. To make his case,
he wasn't sending around evidence, He wasn't sending around documents.
He was sending around articles from liberal activists and left
wing news sources to make his case. That's according to evidence.
(01:25):
It was turned over to Congress. Emails and electronic communications
are pained by just the news as well. Special Agent
Timothy Tbo. That name sounds amiliar, right. We've talked to
Bottom a lot on the show. He left Israel as
the assistant agent in charge of the Washington Field Office
of the FBI in August twenty twenty two after his
anti Trump social posts became public. By the way, Jerry Dunnleavy,
(01:45):
one of my colleagues here justin who's broke that story.
But he's the guy that was trying to get this
case on the ground. One of the things that case
did is it paid an informant money for dirt on
President Trump and his followers twenty thousand dollars. That's the
story that we broke on Saturday. President Trump reacted to that.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Today.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
President Trump reacted to the news story the role of
Tebow and others to try to get President Trump as
a target of this investigation. He wrote on troll Social
Truth Socialist a while ago, these FBI agents are total
scum in their own way, no better than the insurrectionists
in Portland, Minnesota, Los Angeles, etc. Cash meaning Cash Btel,
(02:28):
the FBI director better get them out now, radical left
lunatics put in by the auto pen. That's a reference
to Joe Biden and Obama. Now let me tell you
what happened. Right after President Trump put that out. The
FBI director responded not only to our story but what
the President said, saying Cash Bettel posting this up on
True Social just a little bit ago, literally about five
(02:48):
minutes ago, mister president.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
They were fired last year.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
So he confirms that the agents who they believe were
abusive in the investigation, where if they hadn't left on
their own accord, we're fired in the last year.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
That is brand new out of the f Patricktor.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
All right, with all that, let's turn to my amazing
cost Amanda Hitch. He's been checking a lot of other
headlines with'stop a news feed today.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Yes, happy Monday, Yeah, happy Monday to you.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Well, the Supreme Court is top of mind for me,
and they are anticipated to make a ruling on Trump's
tariff policies sometime this month, and President Trump's comments on
True Social regarding this impending decision have certainly raised the
stake President Trump's President Trump states on true social If
the Supreme Court rules against the United States of America
on this national security bonanza, we are screwed now. In
(03:37):
his full post, he also pointed out that determining how
much the US would owe could take a significant amount
of time. He emphasized that if the Supreme Court were
to rule against these policies, the country could be on
the hook for hundreds of billions of dollars in investment money. Now,
this could lead to, if not outright financial ruin, a
severe economic crisis.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
For our nation.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
We urse we'll be keeping a very close walk on
that vote, and we will be ready to report that
h once the ruling is in. Now shifting to another
pressing issue facing the Trump administration, that would be Greenland.
Following President Trump's capture of Venezuelan dictator Nicholas Maduro, he
is ramping up the pressure when it comes to acquiring Greenland,
and now numerous European leaders are citing their disagreement at
(04:23):
that idea.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
So how close are we to making that happen?
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Well, here's what White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt had
to say.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
How does the president have a dateline or a timeline?
Speaker 5 (04:33):
We've leved No, he has not set a timeline, but
it's definitely a priority for she's asking about Greenland, and
I think the President was very clear last night. He
said that he wants to see the United States acquire
Greenland because he feels that if we do not, then
it will eventually be acquired or even perhaps hostily taken
over by either China or Russia, which is not a
(04:55):
good thing for the United States, or for Europe, or
for Greenland as well. Let's not forget it would not
just be in the best interests of the United States,
but perhaps it would be in the best interest of
Greenland as well.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Okidok, you heard it from the Press secretary. First, There
is no set timeline as for military action regarding Greenland.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
That's still a hot topic of debate. And as Press
Secretary leve It puts it, if we.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Don't secure Greenland, perhaps one of our adversaries will.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
John.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
I know that our first guest tonight is going to
want to talk about Greenland for sure, because he's say yes,
fifty first date.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Yeah, we're very lucky to kick off the day's show
with Congressman Randy Fine of the Great State of Florida.
He had a new magapiece of legislation.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Say make it Greenland great again. I love you that one.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Everyone's talking about it, and we're lucky to have the
congressman joining as Congressman, welcome to the show. Everybody buzzing
about your legislation.
Speaker 6 (05:49):
Well, look, I think it's important for Congress to stand
behind the president. Greenland is a critical national security issue
for US. They're not only in between US and Russia,
but the shipping lanes around the country could be used
by bad actors.
Speaker 7 (06:02):
To harm us.
Speaker 6 (06:03):
We can't afford to let a nation of fifty thousand people,
which for most of US would be a small town,
choose to align themselves with Russia and China. So that's
why I support what the President is doing, and my
legislation would get Congress on board with everything that he's
getting done.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Yeah, Congressman, what would it practically look like for us
to acquire Greenland?
Speaker 6 (06:26):
Well, I think my bill doesn't lay out the policy.
My bill supports the President in making those decisions, and
so he's going to be the one who sits down
with the Greenlanders and the folks from Denmark and negotiate
how this all works. But what I would think happen
is hopefully it's something consensual where they say they give
it to us, we buy it.
Speaker 7 (06:45):
However it works. It's fifty thousand people.
Speaker 6 (06:47):
We're not talking about a huge number of people, and
we're also talking about a group of people who have
not been well treated. The poverty rate in Greenland is
much much higher than it is in Denmark. The suicide
rate in Greenland is an order of magnitude higher than
it is in Denmark.
Speaker 7 (07:00):
So these are folks who could use some help.
Speaker 6 (07:02):
And I think joining the freest, most powerful, richest nation
in the history of the world is going to be
a win for them as well.
Speaker 7 (07:08):
I think this is a win for Greenland.
Speaker 6 (07:10):
I think this is a win for the world, and
so I just want to support President Trump and getting
it done.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Yeah, so important.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
For a while, President Trump was talking about making Canada
the fifty first date, but I think it's got a
better chance in particularly with your legislation, Greenland could be
our fifty first date, right.
Speaker 6 (07:27):
Well, I think that Greenland doesn't have the kind of
leverage that Canada's. Canada is a large, successful, powerful, wealthy country.
This is a huge piece of land with fifty thousand
people that China has tried to make inroads to and
the President's concern is real.
Speaker 7 (07:42):
I mean, if it's not us, it could be them.
Speaker 6 (07:45):
And we've learned in Venezuela, a country that, by the way,
at one time was a huge ally of the United States,
they went down a socialist path. They became a huge problem,
a launching pad for Russia and China, an open place
where Muslim terrorists could operate unimpeded.
Speaker 7 (08:01):
And look at what we've had to do to go
and fix that problem.
Speaker 6 (08:03):
We can't afford to let Greenland become the next Venezuela.
Speaker 7 (08:07):
And I think that's what President Trump's trying to solve.
Speaker 6 (08:09):
My legislation to give him the congressional framework to do
that annexation will help get that done.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
Yeah, amazing, Congressman.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
I know that the troops there have been told to
shoot first and ask questions later. But doesn't the US
already have a presence there. That doesn't seem like a
great ideaomy.
Speaker 6 (08:32):
Well, we do have a military base there right now,
and we do offer them security protections.
Speaker 7 (08:36):
What folks need to understand.
Speaker 6 (08:38):
Is in World War Two, the last time this part
of the world was legitimately threatened by a foreign power.
Speaker 7 (08:44):
Denmark couldn't protect Greenland.
Speaker 6 (08:46):
We had to step up and get the job done,
and as a result, we have military bases there. So
I'm hoping that the Greenlanders and the Danes come to
their senses realize that just because they used to be
a big colonial power does mean that they should be
den Greenland is not a critical national security asset.
Speaker 7 (09:05):
For the Danes.
Speaker 6 (09:06):
There may be EGO involved, but they don't need it
to be successful where they are.
Speaker 7 (09:11):
We do.
Speaker 6 (09:11):
And President Trump is simply reasserting the Monroe doctrine, which
has existed for more than two hundred years, which says,
when it comes to the Western hemisphere, we're in charge,
nobody else.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Sarah, you've talked, and you've talked so articulately over the
time of the last few years about educating the American
people about how much abuse went on under the color
of law enforcement, under the color of state, under the
color of the intelligence community. This week and we get
some new revelations they paid twenty thousand dollars to try
to get dirt on Donald Trump. The FBI did, but
the guy driving it is openly anti Trump and his
(09:45):
evidence as he's trying to build a case against President
Trump is to turn to liberal activists and liberal news
media articles rather than actual evidence of crimes. Your thoughts
about the FBI that Cashptel inherited and how much it
may have changed in the last year.
Speaker 7 (10:02):
Well, I appreciate what Cash is doing.
Speaker 6 (10:04):
I think he's doing a great job, and he's throwing
all of these people out.
Speaker 7 (10:07):
But the challenge is that's not enough. If people don't
go to jail for weaponizing government under the auto.
Speaker 6 (10:16):
Pen, then they will eventually get another bite at the apple.
There will, some day, god forbid, be another Democrat president.
And if what happened over the last four years the
greatest abuses of presidential power in the history of this country,
if they are not consequences for that, God help us
for what they will do the next time around. When
(10:36):
people engage in bad behavior, there need to be consequences
for it. They faid, now they need to fo And
so I'm very hopeful that we're going to put.
Speaker 7 (10:44):
Some of these people in jail.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
I won't ask you to spell off that ACER member
say it. I'll out sir, I want to shift gears,
let's say it. I think we've got to delay someone
commuted I'm sure, sir.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
I want to.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
I want to bring things to what's happening in Minnesota,
because you've got Mayor Jacob Prie, You've got Governor Tim Walls,
a lot of these Democrats in the state who were saying, well,
ICE isn't doing this in Florida. Well, for one thing,
Florida is not a sanctuary state and it doesn't have
sanctuary cities. So talk to us about the difference between
these two states. I mean, Florida seems to not have
(11:20):
the issue that Minnesota has. They have singed ICE presence.
Speaker 6 (11:26):
Did they actually talk about Florida today, If they did,
that's the first I've heard of it.
Speaker 7 (11:30):
That's crazy. And here's why. In Florida, it was my bill.
Speaker 6 (11:34):
I've only been in Congress for nine months, but before that,
I was a Florida legislator. I was a Florida Senator
one year ago when we passed the strongest anti illegal
immigration bill in the country where we required and it
was my bill along with by the way Chairman of
the Republican National Committee, Joe Gruders.
Speaker 7 (11:51):
It was our bill that required every Florida.
Speaker 6 (11:54):
Law enforcement agency to work with ICE, not to impede them,
but to work with them, and under of Santis just
announced that we have rounded up ten four hundred people
in the last year because of that bill. We don't
have these problems in Florida because we don't let people
behave the way they do in Minnesota. In Florida, if
you want to stand in the way of an ICE
agent by getting in the street, they can run you over.
Speaker 7 (12:17):
We don't put up with this stuff in Florida.
Speaker 6 (12:19):
So Florida, all eyes are focused on illegal immigration and
deporting every single illegal immigrant. And let me tell you something,
President Trump today showed real estate prices in this country.
Speaker 7 (12:30):
Americans are concerned about affordability, and.
Speaker 6 (12:32):
The cities that have had the most deportations housing prices
have come down.
Speaker 7 (12:38):
The sanctuary cities they have gone up.
Speaker 6 (12:40):
Why is that because when you deport millions of people,
you open up housing that actual Americans can live in.
If we want to win the election in November, we
have to make people understand that the single greatest driver
of making America unaffordable is illegal immigrants who are not
only ripping us off, but they're bidding up the prices
for everything that we buy.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
I want to ask about one of the accountability tools.
It hasn't been fully leveraged yet. You've got people that
use the tax code as a nonprofit to bring illegals in,
then get them to the sanctuary cities, and then to
organize protests so that ICE agents can't do their job
safely to arrest those.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Who are legally in the country.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
How important is it for Congress and the administration to
cut off the financial flow, particularly from nonprofits to get
a tax big spending money that ultimately hurts the American interest.
Speaker 7 (13:33):
We've got to cut it off entirely.
Speaker 6 (13:34):
And actually, nonprofits are one of the largest threats facing
the United States. And why do I say that, Well,
marketing and branding matters. And when people hear the term nonprofit,
you know what the average American thinks. It thinks about
a goodie two shoes who's barely making ends meet, doing
something socially responsible for the country, but not making any money.
(13:56):
There are CEOs of nonprofits that make millions, if nots
of millions of dollars. A nonprofit simply means you don't
pay taxes and there are no shareholders. The profits get
distributed to your employees, and so there are people operating
as these sort of social welfare organizations that are fleecing
the taxpayer, using that money to do things that don't
(14:17):
help the country, and then sticking us with the bill.
Nonprofit reform needs to be a focus that we're working
on in Congress.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
So important, I mean, nonprofits like Black Lives Matter made
tens of millions, Sir.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
I want to ask you before we let you go.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
Philadelphia's a sheriff had some interesting and choice words to
say about ICE, declaring they are fake law enforcement. What
do you want to see happen here?
Speaker 7 (14:42):
Well, she's the fake law enforcement.
Speaker 6 (14:44):
I think we've learned that the Philadelphia Police Department in
the Philadelphia Sheriff's Department are not the same.
Speaker 7 (14:49):
We've all had to learn that over the last few days.
Speaker 6 (14:52):
What I would say is this, we have a supremacy
clause in the United States. Federal law reigns supreme, and
all ICE is doing they are not going after Americans.
They are going after foreigners who have invaded this country,
who have refused to leave.
Speaker 7 (15:09):
And if you look at.
Speaker 6 (15:10):
The list that ICE released yesterday about the people they've
been rounding up, these are some of the greatest scum
of the earth. You can imagine, rapists, predators, murderers, people
who no one should want in this country. So what
I would say to that sheriff and any other state
or local politician who wants to get in the way
of the ice you do that you should get arrested
and you should go to jail, just like these illegals.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Yeah, this good old fashioned common sense.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
We used to have a lot of it in blue cities.
Not a lot so many today. Congress and Randy find
great honor to have you on. We're gonna be watching
that Green Lenville very closely, very important piece of legislation.
Thanks for joining us there.
Speaker 7 (15:48):
Anytime.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Let me all right, Yeah, it's awesome. Good to have you.
About that delay, folks. Sorry. Coming up next is the
Iranian government.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
How the break a lot of collapse A lot of
people think it made. I'll tempt to answer that question next.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Right after the.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Hey America, the FBI has been warning about a type
of real estate fraud on the rise called home title theft,
and your equity is the target.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Here's how it works.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Criminals forge your signature on a single document, use a
fake notary stamp, and fill them with the county, and
just like that, boom, they're on record as owning your home.
Using your ownership, they then take out loans against your equitor,
even sell your property and you're not going to know
about it. To get a foreclosure or collection notice in
the mail. That's not going to be a good moment.
That's why I partnered with home title Lock so you

Speaker 3 (17:20):
Welcome back.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
Everybody you know John and I try to keep it
fresh when it comes to foreign policy. And I know
we're going to have some great guests this week talking
about what's percolating in Iran. But John, I talk to
a lot of Iranians, some of which are our neighbors
here on Pennsylvania Avenue, who talk about the importance of
this moment and what this looks like compared to similar
uprisings that we saw in twenty twenty two and then
(17:42):
three years before that in twenty nineteen, And what's so unique.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
About really boot right. We could have overthrown the Mollas
in two thousand and nine if.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
We had embraced and Obama totally sabotaged that.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
But now we are in a moment where this could
actually bring down this theocratic regime for the Iranian people.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Yeah, you just heard Congressman Fine in the earlier sessions say, listen,
we got to for the nonprofits that are funding all
of this mayhem in the world, the anarchy, We're going
to cut off the funding flow. That's what the President
has to do right now to Iran. There are people
that are facilitating Iron's continued survival, buying oil illicitly and
drones illicitly. President Trump today, just before we came mine
(18:22):
there about twenty minutes before sent twenty five percent tariff
on anybody or any country that does business with Iran
that's going to get at That's.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
On top of the existing tarrafor that's right.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
And also.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
It's on top of any sanctions you might get for
violating the sanctions, you know, dependently. So President Trump up
out of the pressure. It becomes a really tricky thing.
If the President launches missiles into Iran right now, there
will be a question about the guy. Now he could
go to the United Nations or to NATO or someplace
and try to do it that way like we did.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
With the Gulf War. I think the regime is so
tenuous on its hold on pop that.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Just tightened more penalties will probably cause a lot more
people stop buying. Once they stopped buying the oil and drones,
it's over now. They just lost their best drone customer, Venezuela.
Venezuela was about to be in a drone customer. They
got rid of that. Choking off the supply could be
really significant.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
Now.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
The other thing is Iotola come in. He's got no problem.
If he has to kill a million people to put
this time, he will. He's ruthless, so the ability of
the president to maneuver quickly.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
It's clear to me.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
That the CIA and messat around the ground, agitating. Clearly
the resistance fighters of the MKA and National Console of Resistance,
they're on the ground. But I do think that the
next big thing is choking off what keeps the regime running,
and I would be looking for far more significant actions.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
There than if the President's really going to attack. I'd
be watching.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
He doesn't like to you, and he hates going there,
but this may be one of the times where he
get universal international approval.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Anything going well.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
And I mean, as you said, I mean they have
absolutely no problem killing off of however many.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
People they need to.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
But it makes me want to say to the people
of Iran, just hang on a little bit longer. Obviously
the strain will go to them first before it ever
does the regime. But it makes me want to say
to them, just hang on a little bit longer, because
I know, if President Trump has anything to do with it,
even from an outside angle, he wants this to end
for them because it's been way too long.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Five hundred or two thousand people, depending on who's counting,
have been killed just in the last couple of days
by the regime. So it's really significant. But you don't
see the Iranian people backing down. I saw some amazing
video footage of firefights where you know, the the Iranian people,
and this has the real potential. This is century changing
stuff if it happens, just like Venezuela, century changing stuff.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
So and to see it during our lifetime would be
absolutely Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
You have to befuddled me last night, and I don't
want to get to our excess.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
But there were more.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
There was more sympathy for illegal aliens and those who
endanger our law enforcement at last night's Golden Globes, and
there was appreciation for common sense or.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Even the movies.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
It seemed like the people on the Golden Guns are
more interested in the icing than they were about the
awards ceremony.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Maye because the award therea was so boring.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
But you had some moments I think that caught your Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:23):
Unfortunately they came from some very likely suspects like Mark Ruffalo,
who always has choice words for Donald Trump, and he
commented on the situation in Minnesota and the woman who
was unfortunately fatally shot by Ice Renee Good.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Check out this.
Speaker 8 (21:41):
We have a woman, Renee Good, was murdered in our
streets of America today and we got literally stormtroopers running
around terrorizing. And as much as I love all this,
I can't. I don't know if I could pretend like
this crazy stuff isn't happening.
Speaker 9 (21:59):
We have president says.
Speaker 8 (22:01):
The laws of the world don't apply to him, and
we could rely on his morality, but he has no morality.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
The laws of the world don't apply to him.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
I'm pretty sure that these people are upheld by the
laws of the United States. But you know, I wouldn't
leave it to Mark Ruffalo to explain the Constitution to anyone.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Anyway, Hollo is moving to Dallas and to the real
people who can actually have talent, move because this silly
political stuff is it's rooting the entertainment industry.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Yeah, that was just a little teaser.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
We're going to finish up with a few more clips
from last night that we can all laugh together about
at the end of the show.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
But we're going to take a very quick break and
we'll be back in just a moment. Welcome back, everybody.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
You would think that in a country that is so
freedom minded that you would and have banks out there
who handle millions.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Upon millions upon millions of people's.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
Money, you wouldn't expect them to just be handing out
information on their customers to federal law enforcement and investigations,
at least not without a subpoena. But that's exactly what
Bank of America did in the wake of January sixth.
So a lot of folks have a problem with it,
and now.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
They are being sued.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
So joining us now to talk about this the CEO
of Old Glory, a bank that does have your freedom
in mind, Mike Ring.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
Mike, thanks so much for joining us.
Speaker 9 (23:28):
Thanks for having me on.
Speaker 10 (23:29):
We've been talking about this for a years and finally
someone step up and soon in Bank of America.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
Absolutely, So, how do you expect this to pan out?
Because you know, I don't want this to be like
a too big to fail type situation where Bank of
America is too much of a behemoth to take any
type of hit, but they need to feel it.
Speaker 9 (23:47):
Oh, thank you for that.
Speaker 10 (23:47):
In fact, we I'm going to have a call to
action at the end of this.
Speaker 9 (23:50):
So just kind of set the stage.
Speaker 10 (23:51):
As folks remember, following January sixth, Bank of America worked
with the FBI and finnsand And this isn't just speculation
because we've got whistleblowers. Jim Jordan put out a report
this time last year, and he actually attached the emails
between Bank of America and the FBI talking about how
they were going to search their database to find customers
(24:13):
who used their debit card and credit card in DC
around j six.
Speaker 9 (24:17):
But they weren't done there.
Speaker 10 (24:18):
They were also going to just mine their data to
find anyone who had bought firearms. And I have been
on your show, on other shows just railing on them
because we would never do that. We would never cancel
someone for what they believe. But Bank of America literally
did this, sent the data to the government, and finally
a great patriot in Florida isssuing Bank of America on
behalf of a class.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
So important and it's not the only person to take note.
The Office of Control of the Currency did a report
on not only Bank of America, but Wells, FARG and
other major banks and did banking basically using political litmus
tests to decide whether someone can transact business or not.
Talk a little bit about how important it is when
the OC you see ways in and starts raising some concerns.
Speaker 9 (25:03):
Yeah, exactly right, John.
Speaker 10 (25:04):
I was part of why we started as a market solution,
to be the bank for America who wouldn't cancel people.
And we listen, God called us. Thankfully, it's worked out well.
Force we serve customers in all fifty states. But what
drives me so crazy and listen, as you've heard, no
one beats on the regulators more than I do, because
I think that they're over regulate banks, especially smaller startup
banks like US who are fighting for America. But what
(25:26):
drives me crazy is that these big banks keep saying
that the regulator made me do it, and the regulators
made us share data.
Speaker 9 (25:33):
They're blaming the.
Speaker 10 (25:34):
Bank Secrecy Act, which has nothing to do with your secrets.
They're they're blaming different regulators for not banking Donald Trump
and conservatives, when respectfully.
Speaker 9 (25:43):
It's them. It's their decision.
Speaker 10 (25:46):
And listen, I'd like to do a little shout out,
in a little call to action, if you don't mind.
There's a little law firm like maybe six seven lawyers.
I don't know these people, but they look like patriots.
That's representing the plane of in this case against Bank
of America, which humbly submitding is anything but the Bank
of America. It's called the eleven Law Firm. We have
(26:06):
a great product called Old Glory Alliance. It's our version
of crowdfunding. But we don't judge people. We don't cancel you.
If you don't agree with us, please go to old
Glory Alliance. I've set up a crowdfunding page to help
this law firm.
Speaker 9 (26:18):
I made the first donation.
Speaker 10 (26:19):
I don't know these people, but they are patriots fighting
goliath to protect these people and finally get justice for
having their data shared with the FBI.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
It's important, absolutely, we have to have these consequences. There
have been so few consequences for our privacy being just eradicated.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
It's crazy.
Speaker 9 (26:40):
You're right.
Speaker 10 (26:41):
Unless people set up and sue, nothing happens. And so
we've got to take on the lawsuits ourselves and help people.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Yeah, get a report, a letter, that's all we get.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
Yeah, strong, strongly worded letter.
Speaker 4 (26:52):
When it comes to a bank the size of Bank
of America, how big would damages have to be to
really send the message to Bank of America, Chase, JP Morgan, whoever.
Speaker 9 (27:04):
That's it.
Speaker 10 (27:04):
That's a really that's a really good, good question. Because
they always talk about punitive damages. I'm not sure if
the if the theory on what the theory in or
which this lawsuit is happening, which is the right to
financial privacy, does not provide for punitive damages. So I
think what the plane off has to do is find
a tort and whether and that would be more of
a breach of just fiduciary duty that your bank has
(27:26):
to you, and then you.
Speaker 9 (27:27):
Could get punitive damages.
Speaker 10 (27:29):
But they unless they are financially hurt. And apparently it's
not enough just that we're out there talking about them
and we're asking customers to leave the big bad banks
come to us. They need to write a check to
these people whose data was literally.
Speaker 9 (27:45):
Share with the government.
Speaker 10 (27:46):
And listen, Cash Mattello is doing a great job at
the FBI, and he has a lot going on, and
and I would love it if he would come out
and say, oh, by the way, with regard to all
of the data and all the transaction information that Bank
of America says to the FBI under Biden, I hereby
confirm its deleted.
Speaker 9 (28:03):
It's gone, because I don't even know what happened to
all this data.
Speaker 10 (28:06):
A record of everyone who basically bought a firearm or
who used their debit credit card around.
Speaker 9 (28:12):
DC on J six.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Yeah, that would be a great one.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
It's something we could probably track down as the reporters
and ask him the question. That's a great, great point, Mike,
all right, So the next question is what is this
new world look like. You have created a bank that
answers the call it makes up front, the promised the
American people. We protect your privacy, we protect your freedom.
We're not the bankers, we're not political litmus test people.
(28:38):
What has the response been and where does this banking
industry go? Because it seems like one of the things
that could happen in the next few years is that
places like SBA and Student Loans and Fanny Make decide
to do a lot more business with freedom loving banks
and a lot less That would get Bank of America's
attention pretty quickly, wouldn't.
Speaker 10 (28:56):
It, amen, brother, So thank you for the easy sawtfall.
So we started off as a little bank in Elmore City, Oklahoma,
with ten million in deposits, and less than three years
we're a two hundred and fifty million dollarsand deposits.
Speaker 9 (29:09):
We have eighty thousand accounts.
Speaker 10 (29:11):
We have four thousand plus business accounts, and it's just
an amazing, an amazing accomplishment from the hard team. Listen,
I'm just the crazy person up front talking about these issues.
But it's the great team behind us, and we have this.
Speaker 9 (29:25):
This, this is what's important.
Speaker 10 (29:26):
We have the best product, product, product and customer service
in the industry. You leave the big banks, you come
to a bank that loves you, protects you, will not
share your data inappropriately, doesn't you know, won't persecute you
for flying the flag. But oh, by the way, you
get better banking products and service.
Speaker 9 (29:43):
You can get me on the phone. You can get me.
Speaker 10 (29:45):
My email is real. It's Mike Ring at Old glorybank
dot com. There's no other bank CEO on the planet
you can get to. I answer every email. We serve
our customers like a community bank, but our community.
Speaker 9 (29:54):
Is all of America.
Speaker 10 (29:56):
And I'm just so proud to lead this great team.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Amazing Mike.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
I know there are a lot of people out there
who bank with some of the bigger banks just because
of the ease of use, or maybe they like the
app or the convenience of it.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
They like the amount of locations.
Speaker 4 (30:11):
When someone leaves a big bank like that and they
come to a smaller bank.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Do they have to sacrifice anything or do they find
it all? At your bank?
Speaker 9 (30:19):
They find it all.
Speaker 10 (30:20):
And we have every banking product and more at Old
Glory Bank. It takes eight minutes to open up an account.
Home loans, business loans, SBA loans, VA loans, credit cards,
debit cards. Well we've got something though. You know most
banks don't have and can't even think about having. We
actually represent mainstream. You know what main street does is
they occasionally get a little cash and you can't deposit
cash on your phone. You can deposit your check and
you do wires and ahs on your phone, but.
Speaker 9 (30:42):
You can't deposit cash.
Speaker 10 (30:43):
So we've got a great product called Old Glory Cash
in you can walk into one of eighty eight thousand
locations and there's one in every small town. Places like
Dollar General in deposit cash. So you don't need Chase
Bank has five thousand branches. Just go on their website
that you can deposit cash. We have eighty eight thousand
retail locates the posit cash and while you're in there,
thank that retailer for taking your money, and it automatically
(31:04):
goes into your account in seven seconds and buys stick
a gum on the way out as a thank you.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
That's a good idea. I love it.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
I want to turn to one other abusive thing that
we're getting a lot more of information on something we've
been reporting on the last couple days. The President's been
tweeting out our word. The FBI's Aready Cross investigation. Hundreds
of people get subpoened groups. It's looking at a giant
swath of the conservative movement hoping they might just find
something that they can hang a criminal hat on. That's
(31:34):
not the way investigations were designed to be made, or done,
or conducted under the Fourth Amendment. Do you think there's
a moment right now with the American people? Obviously, the
Justice Department has to prosecute people and create some penalties.
The federal regulars have to punish the banks that gave
up data without permission. But it seems to me the
American people have the most power to try to say
(31:57):
we're done with this sort of fishing expedition at the
expense of our privacy.
Speaker 9 (32:02):
Yeah, that's so true, John.
Speaker 10 (32:03):
What really drives me crazy about artic Frost and thank
goodness to Senator Chuck Grassley for getting this out there
and again showing the actual subpoena data. Whi's terrible about
the Biden Justice Department for doing this. And remember, folks,
they didn't do this until in late twenty twenty two
after Trump announced, So that don't tell me that they
did this because they were still worried about January sixth,
(32:24):
a year and a half earlier. They only did it
to stop Trump. And they sent out four hundred subpoenas
to twenty banks.
Speaker 9 (32:31):
Of course, not us.
Speaker 10 (32:32):
They would not they would know better than the Senate
to US to twenty banks over ninety two Republican organizations,
including the RNC turning point in various MAGA groups and
the think that the RNC and these groups were somehow
laundering money or involved in.
Speaker 9 (32:47):
Some type of financial activity that they had.
Speaker 10 (32:49):
To be subpoena and the worst part about so that's bad,
the worst part about it, instead of the banks coming
out and screaming filing motions to quash, which I would
have done, coming on the on your show and saying listen,
we may not agree, John, but I'm not giving up
the data on Republican organizations to any president and they
did nothing. If you look at Senator Graspley's report, you
(33:10):
can see the day they received the subpoena and the
day they delivered it was like, you know, not even
long enough to get a cup of coffee, and.
Speaker 9 (33:18):
They were getting that data out as quickly as they could.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
Yeah, they would turn it right around.
Speaker 4 (33:23):
Speaking of a dichotomy of perspectives, it seems like Federal
Reserve chairs Room Powell, he and President Trump have very
different ideas on how to manage the Federal Reserve.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
And he claims he being drum Powell.
Speaker 4 (33:35):
That he is getting investigated because of political pressure to
lower rates and possibly this maybe lack thereof of a
relationship with President Trump.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
What do you think?
Speaker 10 (33:45):
I actually and Trump's made a statement about this, and
I believe him. Listen, Trump Trump. We don't catch Trump
in many misstatements. I don't believe anything to do with this.
I believe that this is likely legitimate. I'm not suggesting that,
you know, Chairman Poll actually did what he's being accused of,
but I believe this is a legitimate investigation. And I
just love the fact that here he is three months
left and of all the big ideas Trump has President
(34:08):
Trump has he thinks that this is the one that
Trump is going to use to lower the rates. And
I would just step back and say, listen, Chairman Pyle,
if you're explaining, you're losing the fact that you did
that goofy like it's okay for me to do a
goofy podcast.
Speaker 9 (34:23):
The fact that you.
Speaker 10 (34:23):
Did that goofy statement, it shows that's a person who
is trying to get in front of the story because
he is worried. I would have just said I would
have ignored it and said it's not real. But he
had to do a statement, So I think there could
be something there. I look forward to the investigation. But listen,
I love how the FED continues to complain that they're
and they need to have independence. There is no one
in this country as independence. I report to my stockholders,
(34:46):
you report to people. President Trump reports to his voters.
Maybe a judge is truly independent. But where do we
get off Nowhere And I've read it. Read the Federal
Reserve Act of nineteen thirteen. Nowhere does it says it's independent.
This is a myth created by the elite so that
they have protection to do what's good for the big
banks and for the rich people in this country and
(35:07):
not main Street, and I wait to see what happens here.
Speaker 4 (35:11):
Yep, we will be waiting along with you to see
what takes place. CEO of Old Glory Bank, Mic Ring Mike,
thanks so much for joining us.
Speaker 9 (35:18):
Thank you very much for having.
Speaker 4 (35:20):
Me absolutely all right, everybody coming up next. If you
need multiple cups of coffee throughout the day, we might
have a better solution.
Speaker 3 (35:26):
For you, Lauren that after this coffee.
Speaker 4 (35:28):
Break back everybody, Let's face it, many of us wake
up tired.
Speaker 3 (35:44):
We wake up oh, we wake up tired.
Speaker 4 (35:47):
We wake up dragging throughout the day with that micro
It's tiredness of feeling. And I don't know if you're
like me, but I have to have multiple cups of
coffee throughout the day and I just don't think that
that's very.
Speaker 3 (35:57):
Good for me. So you got to do that to
get through the day. And it's like America has.
Speaker 4 (36:01):
Almost given up on the idea of a good night's sleep,
So what can we do to get in a good
night's rest so that we don't need all of that coffee?
Joining us now to discuss this is the CEO of
Ghostbed Mark Werner.
Speaker 3 (36:12):
Mark, thanks so much for being with us.
Speaker 11 (36:15):
Thank you for having ghost Bed John and Amanda today.
Speaker 4 (36:18):
Absolutely all right, So tell us about ghost Bed.
Speaker 7 (36:21):
What is it?
Speaker 3 (36:22):
How does it work?
Speaker 11 (36:23):
Tell us so little background.
Speaker 12 (36:26):
My grandfather started Werner Ladder over one hundred years ago.
He was a lieutenant colonel in World War One and
two and served in those battles, and then he started
the Warner Company and then brought on my dad, and
my dad invented the aluminum ladder and the fiberglass ladder
and started the family business and all about quality and
(36:47):
durability and brand reputation. Great American family story, been around
over one hundred years, went from nothing to eighty five
percent market share over that one hundred year period.
Speaker 11 (36:57):
Business was sold about.
Speaker 12 (36:59):
Twenty six years ago, and I wanted to keep the
family business going, So my wife and I started Ghostbed,
and I wanted our kids to be involved because family
business is important to me, important to my wife and
my family, and it's a great way to keep your
family together as a binder. So I also had three
neck surgeries which helped lead me into making a pillow
(37:19):
and a mattress that worked for me because I couldn't
find anything that did and I'm an inventor guy, and
I in fact, I invented a digital bathroom scale that
many people probably.
Speaker 2 (37:27):
Don't like me about.
Speaker 11 (37:28):
But I did none of what I want. So I've
invented a lot of things.
Speaker 12 (37:31):
So I made my own pillow and mattress that worked,
and then I just kept adding on to that from there,
and so that's kind of our genesis. That the reason
the story. We're based here in South Florida. We origally
starred in Chicago. We moved down here about twenty years ago,
and so Ghostbed sells direct to consumer, sells to the
big box people like Costco and Sam's Club. We still
(37:53):
in the United States, Canada, the UK, expanding to Puerto
Rico and Mexico this year. So it's a growing company,
multi channel, omnichannel type of business with a number of
products that can deal with your different needs. It's back pain,
neck pain, this pain, whatever it is. We've got a
different product cooling technologies that work and make our customers
(38:15):
very happy.
Speaker 1 (38:16):
Yeah, all right, So I got admit I'm a little
jaded as an investigative repartner. They go, oh, how much
difference can a mattress make? But I recently got to
go spend and it is really a different it's almost
a religious experience when you get into back and it
just feels different. Then as the night goes on, if
it's the furnace has been running too long or it's
too cold in the house, it seems to adapt to
(38:37):
your body. There's some real innovation. I can't describe it
other than the experience is incredible.
Speaker 2 (38:42):
What is the innovation behind this?
Speaker 1 (38:44):
How did you make a temperature adapting Patrick that actually
kind of just modifies where my body's going over the
course of a sleep journey.
Speaker 11 (38:53):
But it's a great question.
Speaker 12 (38:55):
So we use phase change technology air rating phone layers
and then putting phase change. So phase changes think of
like water in an ice cube. You drink water right now,
you put in the freezer. It's anice cube. You put
it back in the room temperature and it gets to
the ambient temperatures back to water. It's changing the phase
of it. So it sucks away the heat from your
person and it allows that heat to go away. And
(39:17):
you don't need like a twenty degree difference. One or
two degrees is all you need to kind of feel
the effect of a cooling sensation. I always tell the
story when you were a little kid and you were
sick and you said to your mother, you know I'm
dying here. You takes your temperature, it's like, okay, ninety
nine point eight, you're up one degree and you thought
you were burning up. It doesn't take much to kind
of burn up, and it doesn't take too much to
(39:39):
get you back to a neutral position, so you feel
really good. So that's part of the science, and then
we have a lot of different kinds of ways of
going at it. Also putting the phase change technology into
the fabrics, so it's instant cool touch, which feels great
for the mattress, our pillows, our cooling pillows, and even
our sheets. We use kin of sill, which is made
(39:59):
for eucalyptus and long staple cottons Pema cotton from California.
We weave it together and every morning I wake up
on our sheets and I say to my wife visas
like the greatest thing ever. And I mean I'm saying
the same thing over year after year after year. I
just switched which matters I use to our three D
matrix mattress, which uses the same gel that's on every
(40:20):
operating table around the world. That's instantly cool and also
has no pressure points.
Speaker 11 (40:26):
So since my next.
Speaker 12 (40:27):
Seer, I decide to get back into golf, which was
what I did in college, and my passion took fifteen
years off and now I'm back into it. I figured
I'm in pain anyway, why not suffer some more. But
I wanted to change which mattress I'm on, so I'm
now on the three D matrix, so it takes away
all those pressure points, so I'm not as bad off
in the morning.
Speaker 2 (40:48):
That's amazing, all.
Speaker 4 (40:49):
Right, Mark, I got to ask you because I'm a
back sleeper, so I could sleep on a two by
four and be perfectly happy on my back. My husband
is a side sleeper, so he needs something A little
bit squash here. If you have two people like me
and my husband who have differing preferences, how does that
work on your mattresses?
Speaker 12 (41:06):
This is like a thank you question. I mean, we're
the keg At Split King mattresses. So you have an
adjustable base which is great for you for neck pressure,
back pressure, massage in it under bed lighting, and then
you can each have your own mattress and there's no
really value of separation. You're totally together. With the two
twin Excel mattresses that go onto these bases, and you
(41:29):
can have a firmer mattress. He can have a mattress
it's more adaptive for being a side sleeper that works
out perfectly.
Speaker 11 (41:35):
That's how I set it up with my wife. And
it's a growing category.
Speaker 12 (41:38):
It's a category we help really push a pioneer at
Costco and Sam's Club, and more and more people are
getting into it with adjustable bases and split kings.
Speaker 1 (41:49):
That's what I'm amazing that so much innovation in the
sleeping industry. All Right, I want to turn to something
else that keeps me up sometimes at night, but not
because my mattress isn't good. Because I worry about the
economy and all of the extraordinary high interest. It's kind
of slowed down people from buying things that make this country.
And it's a manufacturing base. Go tell us a little
(42:11):
bit about the FED. It actually has an impact even
in a mattress industry.
Speaker 11 (42:14):
Right, it does.
Speaker 12 (42:16):
We're in the durable goods bad business, and so a
durable good is anything that lasts more than twelve months.
So I think a third of all workers make products
in the durable good space. We've all been in a
recessionary environment for going on five years. It's sort of
peaked in September of twenty one, and it hasn't gotten
any better. We need housing to come back. And what
housing needs as lower interest rates. I mean, housing is
(42:38):
down almost fifty percent in turnover, and every house that's
sold and turned over, it's two point two mattresses. And
I'm sure it's a barbecue and paint and furnishings and
kitchen stuff and cabinets, et cetera. And it's just critical
to our economy to get it going. We need the
rates down. I appreciate what Washington's the Trump administration is
(42:58):
trying to do to try to drive rates down. It's
very important. And if you're Meta and your Google, you
guys make so much money. Nothing matters to you.
Speaker 2 (43:06):
Guys.
Speaker 11 (43:07):
You're just huge businesses.
Speaker 12 (43:09):
Put regular businesses around this country need housing to turn
need lower rates. It's better for automotive. It's just what
we need. Please get the rates.
Speaker 4 (43:19):
Down, absolutely, Mark, before we let you go, tell us
about this one hundred and one night sleep trial.
Speaker 2 (43:25):
I like this.
Speaker 12 (43:26):
So what we do is we allow you to get
the mattress, we ship it to your house either FedEx
or white Glove, whatever you prefer, and then you have
the almost three months to three months to try it out.
If you don't like it, if it's the wrong decision
for you, we'll pick it up and take it away
and give you a full credit. We're totally good. We
try to have what's called the Marx quiz at the
(43:47):
beginning of the when you come onto the site to
kind of figure out if you sleepod, if you have backsleeper,
side sleeper, you know what your issues are to try.
Speaker 11 (43:56):
To narrow it down.
Speaker 12 (43:57):
And I guess say it works very effectively because our
return rate is under five percent, so that's really a
low return rate for buying a product site on sea,
which is also affordable quality. We're not priced like temp
Repedic at five to fifteen thousand. We're between seven hundred
and eighteen hundred two thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (44:16):
That's a bargain absolutely.
Speaker 2 (44:17):
I'll just speak as a customer. It didn't take me
one hundred one nights.
Speaker 1 (44:20):
It took me about one hundred one minutes to realize
I was sleeping on something very different.
Speaker 2 (44:23):
It really is.
Speaker 1 (44:24):
I just never thought a mattress would make that big
a difference, and it really does, folks. I just I
don't endorse many products, but I will tell you this
was a game changer for me.

(45:32):
got one more break and then we'll be back on
the other side. Welcome back, everybody to our final segment.
All right, I want to touch on a few more
of these items that I plucked from the Golden Globes.
(45:52):
And one of them, John, I think you'll be particularly
interested in.
Speaker 3 (45:55):
Because it pertains to the news, is.
Speaker 4 (45:58):
Nicki Glazer, the gal who was hosts the Golden Globes.
She announced the Golden Globe for Best Editing goes to
the Justice Department.
Speaker 3 (46:08):
Check us out.
Speaker 13 (46:08):
I cannot believe the amount of star power we have
in this room tonight.
Speaker 3 (46:12):
It's insane.
Speaker 13 (46:13):
There's so many A listers, and by A listers, I
do mean people who are on a list that has
been heavily redacted. But yes, and the Golden Globe for
Best Editing goes to the Justice Department.
Speaker 4 (46:33):
Now, John, I personally don't think that anyone will top
Ricky Gervais when it comes to Golden Globe hosting performances.
But taking a dig at celebrities in that audience I
thought was pretty good. She also took a digny funny jokes.
She also took a dig at a news organization checked
us out.
Speaker 13 (46:51):
Three and the award for most editing goes to CBS News. Yes,
CBS News is America's newest place to see BS News.
Speaker 3 (47:04):
You see BS News.
Speaker 4 (47:06):
I love that, John a reference to well, most recently
the Christinome interview, but notoriously the Kamala Harris interview that
they very generously edited.
Speaker 1 (47:15):
Actually thought there might have been a little shot at
Barry Weis's taking over CBS News and that too. I
think the BS part at the end.
Speaker 3 (47:22):
I think that's absolutely true. Yeah, okay, So here's another one.
Judd Apatow who says showrunner says this about our country.
Speaker 10 (47:33):
Since then those ten years ago, you know, since we've
had COVID, I believe we're a dictatorship now.
Speaker 4 (47:39):
And but I'm still pretty focused on this Martian thing.
Speaker 2 (47:42):
I got to be honest with you, Uh.
Speaker 3 (47:46):
We're a dictatorship now. I wasn't aware.
Speaker 1 (47:50):
Maybe can send it to Mars, he can do his
more thinking out there, because he's this Martian thing. I
I don't ever watch a Hollywood Awards show. Ever, it's
banned in my my because there's just nothing that's even
entertaining about him anymore. It's time, you know, like what
old Glory Bank is done, like what rav.
Speaker 2 (48:09):
Has done in the news business, or just the news
done the news.
Speaker 1 (48:11):
But it's time to build a new entertainment industry because
this one just thinks it just it's bad. It's not
entertaining most. I mean, there's some things out there, but
there's too much. It's not entertaining. And they're too happy
with their lack of mediocrity.
Speaker 4 (48:25):
Yeah, yeah, very myopic. They live in an echo chamber
and it is the quality.
Speaker 3 (48:31):
Just isn't there.
Speaker 4 (48:31):
As you said, all right, I have a question for
you because this pertains to you, being the good Irish
Catholic that you are. Arizona has this House bill I
think it's twenty thirty nine that calls for members of
the clergy to violate the seal of confession and instances
of child abuse and things like that.
Speaker 3 (48:47):
As a good Catholic man yourself, thoughts.
Speaker 2 (48:51):
Listen.
Speaker 1 (48:52):
I think the confession is something between God and each
person and so the state probably can't get them. And
by the way, I think the state courts will probably
come back. Now, maybe not the lower courts, but I
suspect when we get up to the upper courts that
that will continue. If not, the ability to confess your
sins comes with a liability and a risk, and I
think people stop going to convention, they'll stop practicing faith
(49:12):
or that part of their faith experience. And so yeah, listen,
I wouldn't for a second protect the child predator murder anyway.
I think they all should go to prison. But there
are certain things that simply it also doesn't seem to
be like it's a major impediment to arresting people. A
bigger impediment are sanctuary states that don't want to arrest murders.
Speaker 2 (49:30):
They don't need to have the priest tell you who did,
They already know what it is. They still don't arrest them
or they let them out the next day. I think
that's a much bigger threat. I think this is Arizona
trying to fix something that isn't broken.
Speaker 3 (49:38):
Yeah, I think that's true. True. I right, everybody head
over to just the news.
Speaker 4 (49:41):
Oh something I was researching today's story that's going to
be out tonight. The organization behind those cute little anti
ice lapel pins partially fund a bund.
Speaker 3 (49:49):
Your resource, Go figure, Go figure.
Speaker 4 (49:51):
All right, everybody, thanks so much for being with us tonight.
Speaker 3 (49:53):
We'll be back here tomorrow night at the sixteen Eastern
Good evening, America, Happy Monday, and welcome to the lates
edition of Justin News, No Noise. I'm your host, John Salomon,
reporting to you as always from the nation's capital, Washington,
d C. This weekend, we had a lot of impact
from our reporting. President Trump himself has been shining light
on our latest story on the Arctic frost investigation. That's
an investigation that was like a giant fish dragging exercise,
(00:43):
looking for any evidence that they could find to hang
something on President Trump or his followers. We'll get to
his reaction a second, but first some background on the
new information that justin News had learned about and obtained
over the weekend. It turns out an FBI supervisor who's
openly a post Donald Trump you actually to his comments
against Donald Trump on social media, played a crucial role
(01:03):
in igniting the controversial artic cross pro pressing to add
the former president as a formal subject, even though they
didn't have any evidents that the president was involved in
the alleged behavior that they were investigating. To make his case,
he wasn't sending around evidence, He wasn't sending around documents.
He was sending around articles from liberal activists and left
wing news sources to make his case. That's according to evidence.
(01:25):
It was turned over to Congress. Emails and electronic communications
are pained by just the news as well. Special Agent
Timothy Tbo. That name sounds amiliar, right. We've talked to
Bottom a lot on the show. He left Israel as
the assistant agent in charge of the Washington Field Office
of the FBI in August twenty twenty two after his
anti Trump social posts became public. By the way, Jerry Dunnleavy,
(01:45):
one of my colleagues here justin who's broke that story.
But he's the guy that was trying to get this
case on the ground. One of the things that case
did is it paid an informant money for dirt on
President Trump and his followers twenty thousand dollars. That's the
story that we broke on Saturday. President Trump reacted to that.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Today.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
President Trump reacted to the news story the role of
Tebow and others to try to get President Trump as
a target of this investigation. He wrote on troll Social
Truth Socialist a while ago, these FBI agents are total
scum in their own way, no better than the insurrectionists
in Portland, Minnesota, Los Angeles, etc. Cash meaning Cash Btel,
(02:28):
the FBI director better get them out now, radical left
lunatics put in by the auto pen. That's a reference
to Joe Biden and Obama. Now let me tell you
what happened. Right after President Trump put that out. The
FBI director responded not only to our story but what
the President said, saying Cash Bettel posting this up on
True Social just a little bit ago, literally about five
(02:48):
minutes ago, mister president.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
They were fired last year.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
So he confirms that the agents who they believe were
abusive in the investigation, where if they hadn't left on
their own accord, we're fired in the last year.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
That is brand new out of the f Patricktor.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
All right, with all that, let's turn to my amazing
cost Amanda Hitch. He's been checking a lot of other
headlines with'stop a news feed today.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Yes, happy Monday, Yeah, happy Monday to you.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Well, the Supreme Court is top of mind for me,
and they are anticipated to make a ruling on Trump's
tariff policies sometime this month, and President Trump's comments on
True Social regarding this impending decision have certainly raised the
stake President Trump's President Trump states on true social If
the Supreme Court rules against the United States of America
on this national security bonanza, we are screwed now. In
(03:37):
his full post, he also pointed out that determining how
much the US would owe could take a significant amount
of time. He emphasized that if the Supreme Court were
to rule against these policies, the country could be on
the hook for hundreds of billions of dollars in investment money. Now,
this could lead to, if not outright financial ruin, a
severe economic crisis.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
For our nation.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
We urse we'll be keeping a very close walk on
that vote, and we will be ready to report that
h once the ruling is in. Now shifting to another
pressing issue facing the Trump administration, that would be Greenland.
Following President Trump's capture of Venezuelan dictator Nicholas Maduro, he
is ramping up the pressure when it comes to acquiring Greenland,
and now numerous European leaders are citing their disagreement at
(04:23):
that idea.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
So how close are we to making that happen?
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Well, here's what White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt had
to say.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
How does the president have a dateline or a timeline?
Speaker 5 (04:33):
We've leved No, he has not set a timeline, but
it's definitely a priority for she's asking about Greenland, and
I think the President was very clear last night. He
said that he wants to see the United States acquire
Greenland because he feels that if we do not, then
it will eventually be acquired or even perhaps hostily taken
over by either China or Russia, which is not a
(04:55):
good thing for the United States, or for Europe, or
for Greenland as well. Let's not forget it would not
just be in the best interests of the United States,
but perhaps it would be in the best interest of
Greenland as well.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Okidok, you heard it from the Press secretary. First, There
is no set timeline as for military action regarding Greenland.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
That's still a hot topic of debate. And as Press
Secretary leve It puts it, if we.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Don't secure Greenland, perhaps one of our adversaries will.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
John.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
I know that our first guest tonight is going to
want to talk about Greenland for sure, because he's say yes,
fifty first date.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Yeah, we're very lucky to kick off the day's show
with Congressman Randy Fine of the Great State of Florida.
He had a new magapiece of legislation.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Say make it Greenland great again. I love you that one.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Everyone's talking about it, and we're lucky to have the
congressman joining as Congressman, welcome to the show. Everybody buzzing
about your legislation.
Speaker 6 (05:49):
Well, look, I think it's important for Congress to stand
behind the president. Greenland is a critical national security issue
for US. They're not only in between US and Russia,
but the shipping lanes around the country could be used
by bad actors.
Speaker 7 (06:02):
To harm us.
Speaker 6 (06:03):
We can't afford to let a nation of fifty thousand people,
which for most of US would be a small town,
choose to align themselves with Russia and China. So that's
why I support what the President is doing, and my
legislation would get Congress on board with everything that he's
getting done.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Yeah, Congressman, what would it practically look like for us
to acquire Greenland?
Speaker 6 (06:26):
Well, I think my bill doesn't lay out the policy.
My bill supports the President in making those decisions, and
so he's going to be the one who sits down
with the Greenlanders and the folks from Denmark and negotiate
how this all works. But what I would think happen
is hopefully it's something consensual where they say they give
it to us, we buy it.
Speaker 7 (06:45):
However it works. It's fifty thousand people.
Speaker 6 (06:47):
We're not talking about a huge number of people, and
we're also talking about a group of people who have
not been well treated. The poverty rate in Greenland is
much much higher than it is in Denmark. The suicide
rate in Greenland is an order of magnitude higher than
it is in Denmark.
Speaker 7 (07:00):
So these are folks who could use some help.
Speaker 6 (07:02):
And I think joining the freest, most powerful, richest nation
in the history of the world is going to be
a win for them as well.
Speaker 7 (07:08):
I think this is a win for Greenland.
Speaker 6 (07:10):
I think this is a win for the world, and
so I just want to support President Trump and getting
it done.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Yeah, so important.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
For a while, President Trump was talking about making Canada
the fifty first date, but I think it's got a
better chance in particularly with your legislation, Greenland could be
our fifty first date, right.
Speaker 6 (07:27):
Well, I think that Greenland doesn't have the kind of
leverage that Canada's. Canada is a large, successful, powerful, wealthy country.
This is a huge piece of land with fifty thousand
people that China has tried to make inroads to and
the President's concern is real.
Speaker 7 (07:42):
I mean, if it's not us, it could be them.
Speaker 6 (07:45):
And we've learned in Venezuela, a country that, by the way,
at one time was a huge ally of the United States,
they went down a socialist path. They became a huge problem,
a launching pad for Russia and China, an open place
where Muslim terrorists could operate unimpeded.
Speaker 7 (08:01):
And look at what we've had to do to go
and fix that problem.
Speaker 6 (08:03):
We can't afford to let Greenland become the next Venezuela.
Speaker 7 (08:07):
And I think that's what President Trump's trying to solve.
Speaker 6 (08:09):
My legislation to give him the congressional framework to do
that annexation will help get that done.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
Yeah, amazing, Congressman.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
I know that the troops there have been told to
shoot first and ask questions later. But doesn't the US
already have a presence there. That doesn't seem like a
great ideaomy.
Speaker 6 (08:32):
Well, we do have a military base there right now,
and we do offer them security protections.
Speaker 7 (08:36):
What folks need to understand.
Speaker 6 (08:38):
Is in World War Two, the last time this part
of the world was legitimately threatened by a foreign power.
Speaker 7 (08:44):
Denmark couldn't protect Greenland.
Speaker 6 (08:46):
We had to step up and get the job done,
and as a result, we have military bases there. So
I'm hoping that the Greenlanders and the Danes come to
their senses realize that just because they used to be
a big colonial power does mean that they should be
den Greenland is not a critical national security asset.
Speaker 7 (09:05):
For the Danes.
Speaker 6 (09:06):
There may be EGO involved, but they don't need it
to be successful where they are.
Speaker 7 (09:11):
We do.
Speaker 6 (09:11):
And President Trump is simply reasserting the Monroe doctrine, which
has existed for more than two hundred years, which says,
when it comes to the Western hemisphere, we're in charge,
nobody else.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Sarah, you've talked, and you've talked so articulately over the
time of the last few years about educating the American
people about how much abuse went on under the color
of law enforcement, under the color of state, under the
color of the intelligence community. This week and we get
some new revelations they paid twenty thousand dollars to try
to get dirt on Donald Trump. The FBI did, but
the guy driving it is openly anti Trump and his
(09:45):
evidence as he's trying to build a case against President
Trump is to turn to liberal activists and liberal news
media articles rather than actual evidence of crimes. Your thoughts
about the FBI that Cashptel inherited and how much it
may have changed in the last year.
Speaker 7 (10:02):
Well, I appreciate what Cash is doing.
Speaker 6 (10:04):
I think he's doing a great job, and he's throwing
all of these people out.
Speaker 7 (10:07):
But the challenge is that's not enough. If people don't
go to jail for weaponizing government under the auto.
Speaker 6 (10:16):
Pen, then they will eventually get another bite at the apple.
There will, some day, god forbid, be another Democrat president.
And if what happened over the last four years the
greatest abuses of presidential power in the history of this country,
if they are not consequences for that, God help us
for what they will do the next time around. When
(10:36):
people engage in bad behavior, there need to be consequences
for it. They faid, now they need to fo And
so I'm very hopeful that we're going to put.
Speaker 7 (10:44):
Some of these people in jail.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
I won't ask you to spell off that ACER member
say it. I'll out sir, I want to shift gears,
let's say it. I think we've got to delay someone
commuted I'm sure, sir.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
I want to.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
I want to bring things to what's happening in Minnesota,
because you've got Mayor Jacob Prie, You've got Governor Tim Walls,
a lot of these Democrats in the state who were saying, well,
ICE isn't doing this in Florida. Well, for one thing,
Florida is not a sanctuary state and it doesn't have
sanctuary cities. So talk to us about the difference between
these two states. I mean, Florida seems to not have
(11:20):
the issue that Minnesota has. They have singed ICE presence.
Speaker 6 (11:26):
Did they actually talk about Florida today, If they did,
that's the first I've heard of it.
Speaker 7 (11:30):
That's crazy. And here's why. In Florida, it was my bill.
Speaker 6 (11:34):
I've only been in Congress for nine months, but before that,
I was a Florida legislator. I was a Florida Senator
one year ago when we passed the strongest anti illegal
immigration bill in the country where we required and it
was my bill along with by the way Chairman of
the Republican National Committee, Joe Gruders.
Speaker 7 (11:51):
It was our bill that required every Florida.
Speaker 6 (11:54):
Law enforcement agency to work with ICE, not to impede them,
but to work with them, and under of Santis just
announced that we have rounded up ten four hundred people
in the last year because of that bill. We don't
have these problems in Florida because we don't let people
behave the way they do in Minnesota. In Florida, if
you want to stand in the way of an ICE
agent by getting in the street, they can run you over.
Speaker 7 (12:17):
We don't put up with this stuff in Florida.
Speaker 6 (12:19):
So Florida, all eyes are focused on illegal immigration and
deporting every single illegal immigrant. And let me tell you something,
President Trump today showed real estate prices in this country.
Speaker 7 (12:30):
Americans are concerned about affordability, and.
Speaker 6 (12:32):
The cities that have had the most deportations housing prices
have come down.
Speaker 7 (12:38):
The sanctuary cities they have gone up.
Speaker 6 (12:40):
Why is that because when you deport millions of people,
you open up housing that actual Americans can live in.
If we want to win the election in November, we
have to make people understand that the single greatest driver
of making America unaffordable is illegal immigrants who are not
only ripping us off, but they're bidding up the prices
for everything that we buy.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
I want to ask about one of the accountability tools.
It hasn't been fully leveraged yet. You've got people that
use the tax code as a nonprofit to bring illegals in,
then get them to the sanctuary cities, and then to
organize protests so that ICE agents can't do their job
safely to arrest those.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Who are legally in the country.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
How important is it for Congress and the administration to
cut off the financial flow, particularly from nonprofits to get
a tax big spending money that ultimately hurts the American interest.
Speaker 7 (13:33):
We've got to cut it off entirely.
Speaker 6 (13:34):
And actually, nonprofits are one of the largest threats facing
the United States. And why do I say that, Well,
marketing and branding matters. And when people hear the term nonprofit,
you know what the average American thinks. It thinks about
a goodie two shoes who's barely making ends meet, doing
something socially responsible for the country, but not making any money.
(13:56):
There are CEOs of nonprofits that make millions, if nots
of millions of dollars. A nonprofit simply means you don't
pay taxes and there are no shareholders. The profits get
distributed to your employees, and so there are people operating
as these sort of social welfare organizations that are fleecing
the taxpayer, using that money to do things that don't
(14:17):
help the country, and then sticking us with the bill.
Nonprofit reform needs to be a focus that we're working
on in Congress.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
So important, I mean, nonprofits like Black Lives Matter made
tens of millions, Sir.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
I want to ask you before we let you go.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
Philadelphia's a sheriff had some interesting and choice words to
say about ICE, declaring they are fake law enforcement. What
do you want to see happen here?
Speaker 7 (14:42):
Well, she's the fake law enforcement.
Speaker 6 (14:44):
I think we've learned that the Philadelphia Police Department in
the Philadelphia Sheriff's Department are not the same.
Speaker 7 (14:49):
We've all had to learn that over the last few days.
Speaker 6 (14:52):
What I would say is this, we have a supremacy
clause in the United States. Federal law reigns supreme, and
all ICE is doing they are not going after Americans.
They are going after foreigners who have invaded this country,
who have refused to leave.
Speaker 7 (15:09):
And if you look at.
Speaker 6 (15:10):
The list that ICE released yesterday about the people they've
been rounding up, these are some of the greatest scum
of the earth. You can imagine, rapists, predators, murderers, people
who no one should want in this country. So what
I would say to that sheriff and any other state
or local politician who wants to get in the way
of the ice you do that you should get arrested
and you should go to jail, just like these illegals.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Yeah, this good old fashioned common sense.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
We used to have a lot of it in blue cities.
Not a lot so many today. Congress and Randy find
great honor to have you on. We're gonna be watching
that Green Lenville very closely, very important piece of legislation.
Thanks for joining us there.
Speaker 7 (15:48):
Anytime.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Let me all right, Yeah, it's awesome. Good to have you.
About that delay, folks. Sorry. Coming up next is the
Iranian government.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
How the break a lot of collapse A lot of
people think it made. I'll tempt to answer that question next.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Right after the.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Hey America, the FBI has been warning about a type
of real estate fraud on the rise called home title theft,
and your equity is the target.

Speaker 1 (16:13):
Criminals forge your signature on a single document, use a
fake notary stamp, and fill them with the county, and
just like that, boom, they're on record as owning your home.
Using your ownership, they then take out loans against your equitor,
even sell your property and you're not going to know
about it. To get a foreclosure or collection notice in
the mail. That's not going to be a good moment.

Speaker 3 (17:20):
Welcome back.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
Everybody you know John and I try to keep it
fresh when it comes to foreign policy. And I know
we're going to have some great guests this week talking
about what's percolating in Iran. But John, I talk to
a lot of Iranians, some of which are our neighbors
here on Pennsylvania Avenue, who talk about the importance of
this moment and what this looks like compared to similar
uprisings that we saw in twenty twenty two and then
(17:42):
three years before that in twenty nineteen, And what's so unique.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
About really boot right. We could have overthrown the Mollas
in two thousand and nine if.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
We had embraced and Obama totally sabotaged that.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
But now we are in a moment where this could
actually bring down this theocratic regime for the Iranian people.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Yeah, you just heard Congressman Fine in the earlier sessions say, listen,
we got to for the nonprofits that are funding all
of this mayhem in the world, the anarchy, We're going
to cut off the funding flow. That's what the President
has to do right now to Iran. There are people
that are facilitating Iron's continued survival, buying oil illicitly and
drones illicitly. President Trump today, just before we came mine
(18:22):
there about twenty minutes before sent twenty five percent tariff
on anybody or any country that does business with Iran
that's going to get at That's.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
On top of the existing tarrafor that's right.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
And also.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
It's on top of any sanctions you might get for
violating the sanctions, you know, dependently. So President Trump up
out of the pressure. It becomes a really tricky thing.
If the President launches missiles into Iran right now, there
will be a question about the guy. Now he could
go to the United Nations or to NATO or someplace
and try to do it that way like we did.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
With the Gulf War. I think the regime is so
tenuous on its hold on pop that.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Just tightened more penalties will probably cause a lot more
people stop buying. Once they stopped buying the oil and drones,
it's over now. They just lost their best drone customer, Venezuela.
Venezuela was about to be in a drone customer. They
got rid of that. Choking off the supply could be
really significant.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
Now.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
The other thing is Iotola come in. He's got no problem.
If he has to kill a million people to put
this time, he will. He's ruthless, so the ability of
the president to maneuver quickly.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
It's clear to me.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
That the CIA and messat around the ground, agitating. Clearly
the resistance fighters of the MKA and National Console of Resistance,
they're on the ground. But I do think that the
next big thing is choking off what keeps the regime running,
and I would be looking for far more significant actions.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
There than if the President's really going to attack. I'd
be watching.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
He doesn't like to you, and he hates going there,
but this may be one of the times where he
get universal international approval.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Anything going well.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
And I mean, as you said, I mean they have
absolutely no problem killing off of however many.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
People they need to.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
But it makes me want to say to the people
of Iran, just hang on a little bit longer. Obviously
the strain will go to them first before it ever
does the regime. But it makes me want to say
to them, just hang on a little bit longer, because
I know, if President Trump has anything to do with it,
even from an outside angle, he wants this to end
for them because it's been way too long.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Five hundred or two thousand people, depending on who's counting,
have been killed just in the last couple of days
by the regime. So it's really significant. But you don't
see the Iranian people backing down. I saw some amazing
video footage of firefights where you know, the the Iranian people,
and this has the real potential. This is century changing
stuff if it happens, just like Venezuela, century changing stuff.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
So and to see it during our lifetime would be
absolutely Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
You have to befuddled me last night, and I don't
want to get to our excess.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
But there were more.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
There was more sympathy for illegal aliens and those who
endanger our law enforcement at last night's Golden Globes, and
there was appreciation for common sense or.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Even the movies.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
It seemed like the people on the Golden Guns are
more interested in the icing than they were about the
awards ceremony.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Maye because the award therea was so boring.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
But you had some moments I think that caught your Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:23):
Unfortunately they came from some very likely suspects like Mark Ruffalo,
who always has choice words for Donald Trump, and he
commented on the situation in Minnesota and the woman who
was unfortunately fatally shot by Ice Renee Good.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Check out this.
Speaker 8 (21:41):
We have a woman, Renee Good, was murdered in our
streets of America today and we got literally stormtroopers running
around terrorizing. And as much as I love all this,
I can't. I don't know if I could pretend like
this crazy stuff isn't happening.
Speaker 9 (21:59):
We have president says.
Speaker 8 (22:01):
The laws of the world don't apply to him, and
we could rely on his morality, but he has no morality.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
The laws of the world don't apply to him.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
I'm pretty sure that these people are upheld by the
laws of the United States. But you know, I wouldn't
leave it to Mark Ruffalo to explain the Constitution to anyone.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Anyway, Hollo is moving to Dallas and to the real
people who can actually have talent, move because this silly
political stuff is it's rooting the entertainment industry.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Yeah, that was just a little teaser.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
We're going to finish up with a few more clips
from last night that we can all laugh together about
at the end of the show.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
But we're going to take a very quick break and
we'll be back in just a moment. Welcome back, everybody.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
You would think that in a country that is so
freedom minded that you would and have banks out there
who handle millions.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Upon millions upon millions of people's.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
Money, you wouldn't expect them to just be handing out
information on their customers to federal law enforcement and investigations,
at least not without a subpoena. But that's exactly what
Bank of America did in the wake of January sixth.
So a lot of folks have a problem with it,
and now.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
They are being sued.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
So joining us now to talk about this the CEO
of Old Glory, a bank that does have your freedom
in mind, Mike Ring.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
Mike, thanks so much for joining us.
Speaker 9 (23:28):
Thanks for having me on.
Speaker 10 (23:29):
We've been talking about this for a years and finally
someone step up and soon in Bank of America.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
Absolutely, So, how do you expect this to pan out?
Because you know, I don't want this to be like
a too big to fail type situation where Bank of
America is too much of a behemoth to take any
type of hit, but they need to feel it.
Speaker 9 (23:47):
Oh, thank you for that.
Speaker 10 (23:47):
In fact, we I'm going to have a call to
action at the end of this.
Speaker 9 (23:50):
So just kind of set the stage.
Speaker 10 (23:51):
As folks remember, following January sixth, Bank of America worked
with the FBI and finnsand And this isn't just speculation
because we've got whistleblowers. Jim Jordan put out a report
this time last year, and he actually attached the emails
between Bank of America and the FBI talking about how
they were going to search their database to find customers
(24:13):
who used their debit card and credit card in DC
around j six.
Speaker 9 (24:17):
But they weren't done there.
Speaker 10 (24:18):
They were also going to just mine their data to
find anyone who had bought firearms. And I have been
on your show, on other shows just railing on them
because we would never do that. We would never cancel
someone for what they believe. But Bank of America literally
did this, sent the data to the government, and finally
a great patriot in Florida isssuing Bank of America on
behalf of a class.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
So important and it's not the only person to take note.
The Office of Control of the Currency did a report
on not only Bank of America, but Wells, FARG and
other major banks and did banking basically using political litmus
tests to decide whether someone can transact business or not.
Talk a little bit about how important it is when
the OC you see ways in and starts raising some concerns.
Speaker 9 (25:03):
Yeah, exactly right, John.
Speaker 10 (25:04):
I was part of why we started as a market solution,
to be the bank for America who wouldn't cancel people.
And we listen, God called us. Thankfully, it's worked out well.
Force we serve customers in all fifty states. But what
drives me so crazy and listen, as you've heard, no
one beats on the regulators more than I do, because
I think that they're over regulate banks, especially smaller startup
banks like US who are fighting for America. But what
(25:26):
drives me crazy is that these big banks keep saying
that the regulator made me do it, and the regulators
made us share data.
Speaker 9 (25:33):
They're blaming the.
Speaker 10 (25:34):
Bank Secrecy Act, which has nothing to do with your secrets.
They're they're blaming different regulators for not banking Donald Trump
and conservatives, when respectfully.
Speaker 9 (25:43):
It's them. It's their decision.
Speaker 10 (25:46):
And listen, I'd like to do a little shout out,
in a little call to action, if you don't mind.
There's a little law firm like maybe six seven lawyers.
I don't know these people, but they look like patriots.
That's representing the plane of in this case against Bank
of America, which humbly submitding is anything but the Bank
of America. It's called the eleven Law Firm. We have
(26:06):
a great product called Old Glory Alliance. It's our version
of crowdfunding. But we don't judge people. We don't cancel you.
If you don't agree with us, please go to old
Glory Alliance. I've set up a crowdfunding page to help
this law firm.
Speaker 9 (26:18):
I made the first donation.
Speaker 10 (26:19):
I don't know these people, but they are patriots fighting
goliath to protect these people and finally get justice for
having their data shared with the FBI.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
It's important, absolutely, we have to have these consequences. There
have been so few consequences for our privacy being just eradicated.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
It's crazy.
Speaker 9 (26:40):
You're right.
Speaker 10 (26:41):
Unless people set up and sue, nothing happens. And so
we've got to take on the lawsuits ourselves and help people.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Yeah, get a report, a letter, that's all we get.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
Yeah, strong, strongly worded letter.
Speaker 4 (26:52):
When it comes to a bank the size of Bank
of America, how big would damages have to be to
really send the message to Bank of America, Chase, JP Morgan, whoever.
Speaker 9 (27:04):
That's it.
Speaker 10 (27:04):
That's a really that's a really good, good question. Because
they always talk about punitive damages. I'm not sure if
the if the theory on what the theory in or
which this lawsuit is happening, which is the right to
financial privacy, does not provide for punitive damages. So I
think what the plane off has to do is find
a tort and whether and that would be more of
a breach of just fiduciary duty that your bank has
(27:26):
to you, and then you.
Speaker 9 (27:27):
Could get punitive damages.
Speaker 10 (27:29):
But they unless they are financially hurt. And apparently it's
not enough just that we're out there talking about them
and we're asking customers to leave the big bad banks
come to us. They need to write a check to
these people whose data was literally.
Speaker 9 (27:45):
Share with the government.
Speaker 10 (27:46):
And listen, Cash Mattello is doing a great job at
the FBI, and he has a lot going on, and
and I would love it if he would come out
and say, oh, by the way, with regard to all
of the data and all the transaction information that Bank
of America says to the FBI under Biden, I hereby
confirm its deleted.
Speaker 9 (28:03):
It's gone, because I don't even know what happened to
all this data.
Speaker 10 (28:06):
A record of everyone who basically bought a firearm or
who used their debit credit card around.
Speaker 9 (28:12):
DC on J six.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Yeah, that would be a great one.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
It's something we could probably track down as the reporters
and ask him the question. That's a great, great point, Mike,
all right, So the next question is what is this
new world look like. You have created a bank that
answers the call it makes up front, the promised the
American people. We protect your privacy, we protect your freedom.
We're not the bankers, we're not political litmus test people.
(28:38):
What has the response been and where does this banking
industry go? Because it seems like one of the things
that could happen in the next few years is that
places like SBA and Student Loans and Fanny Make decide
to do a lot more business with freedom loving banks
and a lot less That would get Bank of America's
attention pretty quickly, wouldn't.
Speaker 10 (28:56):
It, amen, brother, So thank you for the easy sawtfall.
So we started off as a little bank in Elmore City, Oklahoma,
with ten million in deposits, and less than three years
we're a two hundred and fifty million dollarsand deposits.
Speaker 9 (29:09):
We have eighty thousand accounts.
Speaker 10 (29:11):
We have four thousand plus business accounts, and it's just
an amazing, an amazing accomplishment from the hard team. Listen,
I'm just the crazy person up front talking about these issues.
But it's the great team behind us, and we have this.
Speaker 9 (29:25):
This, this is what's important.
Speaker 10 (29:26):
We have the best product, product, product and customer service
in the industry. You leave the big banks, you come
to a bank that loves you, protects you, will not
share your data inappropriately, doesn't you know, won't persecute you
for flying the flag. But oh, by the way, you
get better banking products and service.
Speaker 9 (29:43):
You can get me on the phone. You can get me.
Speaker 10 (29:45):
My email is real. It's Mike Ring at Old glorybank
dot com. There's no other bank CEO on the planet
you can get to. I answer every email. We serve
our customers like a community bank, but our community.
Speaker 9 (29:54):
Is all of America.
Speaker 10 (29:56):
And I'm just so proud to lead this great team.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Amazing Mike.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
I know there are a lot of people out there
who bank with some of the bigger banks just because
of the ease of use, or maybe they like the
app or the convenience of it.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
They like the amount of locations.
Speaker 4 (30:11):
When someone leaves a big bank like that and they
come to a smaller bank.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Do they have to sacrifice anything or do they find
it all? At your bank?
Speaker 9 (30:19):
They find it all.
Speaker 10 (30:20):
And we have every banking product and more at Old
Glory Bank. It takes eight minutes to open up an account.
Home loans, business loans, SBA loans, VA loans, credit cards,
debit cards. Well we've got something though. You know most
banks don't have and can't even think about having. We
actually represent mainstream. You know what main street does is
they occasionally get a little cash and you can't deposit
cash on your phone. You can deposit your check and
you do wires and ahs on your phone, but.
Speaker 9 (30:42):
You can't deposit cash.
Speaker 10 (30:43):
So we've got a great product called Old Glory Cash
in you can walk into one of eighty eight thousand
locations and there's one in every small town. Places like
Dollar General in deposit cash. So you don't need Chase
Bank has five thousand branches. Just go on their website
that you can deposit cash. We have eighty eight thousand
retail locates the posit cash and while you're in there,
thank that retailer for taking your money, and it automatically
(31:04):
goes into your account in seven seconds and buys stick
a gum on the way out as a thank you.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
That's a good idea. I love it.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
I want to turn to one other abusive thing that
we're getting a lot more of information on something we've
been reporting on the last couple days. The President's been
tweeting out our word. The FBI's Aready Cross investigation. Hundreds
of people get subpoened groups. It's looking at a giant
swath of the conservative movement hoping they might just find
something that they can hang a criminal hat on. That's
(31:34):
not the way investigations were designed to be made, or done,
or conducted under the Fourth Amendment. Do you think there's
a moment right now with the American people? Obviously, the
Justice Department has to prosecute people and create some penalties.
The federal regulars have to punish the banks that gave
up data without permission. But it seems to me the
American people have the most power to try to say
(31:57):
we're done with this sort of fishing expedition at the
expense of our privacy.
Speaker 9 (32:02):
Yeah, that's so true, John.
Speaker 10 (32:03):
What really drives me crazy about artic Frost and thank
goodness to Senator Chuck Grassley for getting this out there
and again showing the actual subpoena data. Whi's terrible about
the Biden Justice Department for doing this. And remember, folks,
they didn't do this until in late twenty twenty two
after Trump announced, So that don't tell me that they
did this because they were still worried about January sixth,
(32:24):
a year and a half earlier. They only did it
to stop Trump. And they sent out four hundred subpoenas
to twenty banks.
Speaker 9 (32:31):
Of course, not us.
Speaker 10 (32:32):
They would not they would know better than the Senate
to US to twenty banks over ninety two Republican organizations,
including the RNC turning point in various MAGA groups and
the think that the RNC and these groups were somehow
laundering money or involved in.
Speaker 9 (32:47):
Some type of financial activity that they had.
Speaker 10 (32:49):
To be subpoena and the worst part about so that's bad,
the worst part about it, instead of the banks coming
out and screaming filing motions to quash, which I would
have done, coming on the on your show and saying listen,
we may not agree, John, but I'm not giving up
the data on Republican organizations to any president and they
did nothing. If you look at Senator Graspley's report, you
(33:10):
can see the day they received the subpoena and the
day they delivered it was like, you know, not even
long enough to get a cup of coffee, and.
Speaker 9 (33:18):
They were getting that data out as quickly as they could.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
Yeah, they would turn it right around.
Speaker 4 (33:23):
Speaking of a dichotomy of perspectives, it seems like Federal
Reserve chairs Room Powell, he and President Trump have very
different ideas on how to manage the Federal Reserve.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
And he claims he being drum Powell.
Speaker 4 (33:35):
That he is getting investigated because of political pressure to
lower rates and possibly this maybe lack thereof of a
relationship with President Trump.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
What do you think?
Speaker 10 (33:45):
I actually and Trump's made a statement about this, and
I believe him. Listen, Trump Trump. We don't catch Trump
in many misstatements. I don't believe anything to do with this.
I believe that this is likely legitimate. I'm not suggesting that,
you know, Chairman Poll actually did what he's being accused of,
but I believe this is a legitimate investigation. And I
just love the fact that here he is three months
left and of all the big ideas Trump has President
(34:08):
Trump has he thinks that this is the one that
Trump is going to use to lower the rates. And
I would just step back and say, listen, Chairman Pyle,
if you're explaining, you're losing the fact that you did
that goofy like it's okay for me to do a
goofy podcast.
Speaker 9 (34:23):
The fact that you.
Speaker 10 (34:23):
Did that goofy statement, it shows that's a person who
is trying to get in front of the story because
he is worried. I would have just said I would
have ignored it and said it's not real. But he
had to do a statement, So I think there could
be something there. I look forward to the investigation. But listen,
I love how the FED continues to complain that they're
and they need to have independence. There is no one
in this country as independence. I report to my stockholders,
(34:46):
you report to people. President Trump reports to his voters.
Maybe a judge is truly independent. But where do we
get off Nowhere And I've read it. Read the Federal
Reserve Act of nineteen thirteen. Nowhere does it says it's independent.
This is a myth created by the elite so that
they have protection to do what's good for the big
banks and for the rich people in this country and
(35:07):
not main Street, and I wait to see what happens here.
Speaker 4 (35:11):
Yep, we will be waiting along with you to see
what takes place. CEO of Old Glory Bank, Mic Ring Mike,
thanks so much for joining us.
Speaker 9 (35:18):
Thank you very much for having.
Speaker 4 (35:20):
Me absolutely all right, everybody coming up next. If you
need multiple cups of coffee throughout the day, we might
have a better solution.
Speaker 3 (35:26):
For you, Lauren that after this coffee.
Speaker 4 (35:28):
Break back everybody, Let's face it, many of us wake
up tired.
Speaker 3 (35:44):
We wake up oh, we wake up tired.
Speaker 4 (35:47):
We wake up dragging throughout the day with that micro
It's tiredness of feeling. And I don't know if you're
like me, but I have to have multiple cups of
coffee throughout the day and I just don't think that
that's very.
Speaker 3 (35:57):
Good for me. So you got to do that to
get through the day. And it's like America has.
Speaker 4 (36:01):
Almost given up on the idea of a good night's sleep,
So what can we do to get in a good
night's rest so that we don't need all of that coffee?
Joining us now to discuss this is the CEO of
Ghostbed Mark Werner.
Speaker 3 (36:12):
Mark, thanks so much for being with us.
Speaker 11 (36:15):
Thank you for having ghost Bed John and Amanda today.
Speaker 4 (36:18):
Absolutely all right, So tell us about ghost Bed.
Speaker 7 (36:21):
What is it?
Speaker 3 (36:22):
How does it work?
Speaker 11 (36:23):
Tell us so little background.
Speaker 12 (36:26):
My grandfather started Werner Ladder over one hundred years ago.
He was a lieutenant colonel in World War One and
two and served in those battles, and then he started
the Warner Company and then brought on my dad, and
my dad invented the aluminum ladder and the fiberglass ladder
and started the family business and all about quality and
(36:47):
durability and brand reputation. Great American family story, been around
over one hundred years, went from nothing to eighty five
percent market share over that one hundred year period.
Speaker 11 (36:57):
Business was sold about.
Speaker 12 (36:59):
Twenty six years ago, and I wanted to keep the
family business going, So my wife and I started Ghostbed,
and I wanted our kids to be involved because family
business is important to me, important to my wife and
my family, and it's a great way to keep your
family together as a binder. So I also had three
neck surgeries which helped lead me into making a pillow
(37:19):
and a mattress that worked for me because I couldn't
find anything that did and I'm an inventor guy, and
I in fact, I invented a digital bathroom scale that
many people probably.
Speaker 2 (37:27):
Don't like me about.
Speaker 11 (37:28):
But I did none of what I want. So I've
invented a lot of things.
Speaker 12 (37:31):
So I made my own pillow and mattress that worked,
and then I just kept adding on to that from there,
and so that's kind of our genesis. That the reason
the story. We're based here in South Florida. We origally
starred in Chicago. We moved down here about twenty years ago,
and so Ghostbed sells direct to consumer, sells to the
big box people like Costco and Sam's Club. We still
(37:53):
in the United States, Canada, the UK, expanding to Puerto
Rico and Mexico this year. So it's a growing company,
multi channel, omnichannel type of business with a number of
products that can deal with your different needs. It's back pain,
neck pain, this pain, whatever it is. We've got a
different product cooling technologies that work and make our customers
(38:15):
very happy.
Speaker 1 (38:16):
Yeah, all right, So I got admit I'm a little
jaded as an investigative repartner. They go, oh, how much
difference can a mattress make? But I recently got to
go spend and it is really a different it's almost
a religious experience when you get into back and it
just feels different. Then as the night goes on, if
it's the furnace has been running too long or it's
too cold in the house, it seems to adapt to
(38:37):
your body. There's some real innovation. I can't describe it
other than the experience is incredible.
Speaker 2 (38:42):
What is the innovation behind this?
Speaker 1 (38:44):
How did you make a temperature adapting Patrick that actually
kind of just modifies where my body's going over the
course of a sleep journey.
Speaker 11 (38:53):
But it's a great question.
Speaker 12 (38:55):
So we use phase change technology air rating phone layers
and then putting phase change. So phase changes think of
like water in an ice cube. You drink water right now,
you put in the freezer. It's anice cube. You put
it back in the room temperature and it gets to
the ambient temperatures back to water. It's changing the phase
of it. So it sucks away the heat from your
person and it allows that heat to go away. And
(39:17):
you don't need like a twenty degree difference. One or
two degrees is all you need to kind of feel
the effect of a cooling sensation. I always tell the
story when you were a little kid and you were
sick and you said to your mother, you know I'm
dying here. You takes your temperature, it's like, okay, ninety
nine point eight, you're up one degree and you thought
you were burning up. It doesn't take much to kind
of burn up, and it doesn't take too much to
(39:39):
get you back to a neutral position, so you feel
really good. So that's part of the science, and then
we have a lot of different kinds of ways of
going at it. Also putting the phase change technology into
the fabrics, so it's instant cool touch, which feels great
for the mattress, our pillows, our cooling pillows, and even
our sheets. We use kin of sill, which is made
(39:59):
for eucalyptus and long staple cottons Pema cotton from California.
We weave it together and every morning I wake up
on our sheets and I say to my wife visas
like the greatest thing ever. And I mean I'm saying
the same thing over year after year after year. I
just switched which matters I use to our three D
matrix mattress, which uses the same gel that's on every
(40:20):
operating table around the world. That's instantly cool and also
has no pressure points.
Speaker 11 (40:26):
So since my next.
Speaker 12 (40:27):
Seer, I decide to get back into golf, which was
what I did in college, and my passion took fifteen
years off and now I'm back into it. I figured
I'm in pain anyway, why not suffer some more. But
I wanted to change which mattress I'm on, so I'm
now on the three D matrix, so it takes away
all those pressure points, so I'm not as bad off
in the morning.
Speaker 2 (40:48):
That's amazing, all.
Speaker 4 (40:49):
Right, Mark, I got to ask you because I'm a
back sleeper, so I could sleep on a two by
four and be perfectly happy on my back. My husband
is a side sleeper, so he needs something A little
bit squash here. If you have two people like me
and my husband who have differing preferences, how does that
work on your mattresses?
Speaker 12 (41:06):
This is like a thank you question. I mean, we're
the keg At Split King mattresses. So you have an
adjustable base which is great for you for neck pressure,
back pressure, massage in it under bed lighting, and then
you can each have your own mattress and there's no
really value of separation. You're totally together. With the two
twin Excel mattresses that go onto these bases, and you
(41:29):
can have a firmer mattress. He can have a mattress
it's more adaptive for being a side sleeper that works
out perfectly.
Speaker 11 (41:35):
That's how I set it up with my wife. And
it's a growing category.
Speaker 12 (41:38):
It's a category we help really push a pioneer at
Costco and Sam's Club, and more and more people are
getting into it with adjustable bases and split kings.
Speaker 1 (41:49):
That's what I'm amazing that so much innovation in the
sleeping industry. All Right, I want to turn to something
else that keeps me up sometimes at night, but not
because my mattress isn't good. Because I worry about the
economy and all of the extraordinary high interest. It's kind
of slowed down people from buying things that make this country.
And it's a manufacturing base. Go tell us a little
(42:11):
bit about the FED. It actually has an impact even
in a mattress industry.
Speaker 11 (42:14):
Right, it does.
Speaker 12 (42:16):
We're in the durable goods bad business, and so a
durable good is anything that lasts more than twelve months.
So I think a third of all workers make products
in the durable good space. We've all been in a
recessionary environment for going on five years. It's sort of
peaked in September of twenty one, and it hasn't gotten
any better. We need housing to come back. And what
housing needs as lower interest rates. I mean, housing is
(42:38):
down almost fifty percent in turnover, and every house that's
sold and turned over, it's two point two mattresses. And
I'm sure it's a barbecue and paint and furnishings and
kitchen stuff and cabinets, et cetera. And it's just critical
to our economy to get it going. We need the
rates down. I appreciate what Washington's the Trump administration is
(42:58):
trying to do to try to drive rates down. It's
very important. And if you're Meta and your Google, you
guys make so much money. Nothing matters to you.
Speaker 2 (43:06):
Guys.
Speaker 11 (43:07):
You're just huge businesses.
Speaker 12 (43:09):
Put regular businesses around this country need housing to turn
need lower rates. It's better for automotive. It's just what
we need. Please get the rates.
Speaker 4 (43:19):
Down, absolutely, Mark, before we let you go, tell us
about this one hundred and one night sleep trial.
Speaker 2 (43:25):
I like this.
Speaker 12 (43:26):
So what we do is we allow you to get
the mattress, we ship it to your house either FedEx
or white Glove, whatever you prefer, and then you have
the almost three months to three months to try it out.
If you don't like it, if it's the wrong decision
for you, we'll pick it up and take it away
and give you a full credit. We're totally good. We
try to have what's called the Marx quiz at the
(43:47):
beginning of the when you come onto the site to
kind of figure out if you sleepod, if you have backsleeper,
side sleeper, you know what your issues are to try.
Speaker 11 (43:56):
To narrow it down.
Speaker 12 (43:57):
And I guess say it works very effectively because our
return rate is under five percent, so that's really a
low return rate for buying a product site on sea,
which is also affordable quality. We're not priced like temp
Repedic at five to fifteen thousand. We're between seven hundred
and eighteen hundred two thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (44:16):
That's a bargain absolutely.
Speaker 2 (44:17):
I'll just speak as a customer. It didn't take me
one hundred one nights.
Speaker 1 (44:20):
It took me about one hundred one minutes to realize
I was sleeping on something very different.
Speaker 2 (44:23):
It really is.
Speaker 1 (44:24):
I just never thought a mattress would make that big
a difference, and it really does, folks. I just I
don't endorse many products, but I will tell you this
was a game changer for me.
Speaker 2 (44:32):
So I just want to I want to mention this.
I don't endorse my men things.
Speaker 4 (44:35):

(45:32):
got one more break and then we'll be back on
the other side. Welcome back, everybody to our final segment.
All right, I want to touch on a few more
of these items that I plucked from the Golden Globes.
(45:52):
And one of them, John, I think you'll be particularly
interested in.
Speaker 3 (45:55):
Because it pertains to the news, is.
Speaker 4 (45:58):
Nicki Glazer, the gal who was hosts the Golden Globes.
She announced the Golden Globe for Best Editing goes to
the Justice Department.
Speaker 3 (46:08):
Check us out.
Speaker 13 (46:08):
I cannot believe the amount of star power we have
in this room tonight.
Speaker 3 (46:12):
It's insane.
Speaker 13 (46:13):
There's so many A listers, and by A listers, I
do mean people who are on a list that has
been heavily redacted. But yes, and the Golden Globe for
Best Editing goes to the Justice Department.
Speaker 4 (46:33):
Now, John, I personally don't think that anyone will top
Ricky Gervais when it comes to Golden Globe hosting performances.
But taking a dig at celebrities in that audience I
thought was pretty good. She also took a digny funny jokes.
She also took a dig at a news organization checked
us out.
Speaker 13 (46:51):
Three and the award for most editing goes to CBS News. Yes,
CBS News is America's newest place to see BS News.
Speaker 3 (47:04):
You see BS News.
Speaker 4 (47:06):
I love that, John a reference to well, most recently
the Christinome interview, but notoriously the Kamala Harris interview that
they very generously edited.
Speaker 1 (47:15):
Actually thought there might have been a little shot at
Barry Weis's taking over CBS News and that too. I
think the BS part at the end.
Speaker 3 (47:22):
I think that's absolutely true. Yeah, okay, So here's another one.
Judd Apatow who says showrunner says this about our country.
Speaker 10 (47:33):
Since then those ten years ago, you know, since we've
had COVID, I believe we're a dictatorship now.
Speaker 4 (47:39):
And but I'm still pretty focused on this Martian thing.
Speaker 2 (47:42):
I got to be honest with you, Uh.
Speaker 3 (47:46):
We're a dictatorship now. I wasn't aware.
Speaker 1 (47:50):
Maybe can send it to Mars, he can do his
more thinking out there, because he's this Martian thing. I
I don't ever watch a Hollywood Awards show. Ever, it's
banned in my my because there's just nothing that's even
entertaining about him anymore. It's time, you know, like what
old Glory Bank is done, like what rav.
Speaker 2 (48:09):
Has done in the news business, or just the news
done the news.
Speaker 1 (48:11):
But it's time to build a new entertainment industry because
this one just thinks it just it's bad. It's not
entertaining most. I mean, there's some things out there, but
there's too much. It's not entertaining. And they're too happy
with their lack of mediocrity.
Speaker 4 (48:25):
Yeah, yeah, very myopic. They live in an echo chamber
and it is the quality.
Speaker 3 (48:31):
Just isn't there.
Speaker 4 (48:31):
As you said, all right, I have a question for
you because this pertains to you, being the good Irish
Catholic that you are. Arizona has this House bill I
think it's twenty thirty nine that calls for members of
the clergy to violate the seal of confession and instances
of child abuse and things like that.
Speaker 3 (48:47):
As a good Catholic man yourself, thoughts.
Speaker 2 (48:51):
Listen.
Speaker 1 (48:52):
I think the confession is something between God and each
person and so the state probably can't get them. And
by the way, I think the state courts will probably
come back. Now, maybe not the lower courts, but I
suspect when we get up to the upper courts that
that will continue. If not, the ability to confess your
sins comes with a liability and a risk, and I
think people stop going to convention, they'll stop practicing faith
(49:12):
or that part of their faith experience. And so yeah, listen,
I wouldn't for a second protect the child predator murder anyway.
I think they all should go to prison. But there
are certain things that simply it also doesn't seem to
be like it's a major impediment to arresting people. A
bigger impediment are sanctuary states that don't want to arrest murders.
Speaker 2 (49:30):
They don't need to have the priest tell you who did,
They already know what it is. They still don't arrest them
or they let them out the next day. I think
that's a much bigger threat. I think this is Arizona
trying to fix something that isn't broken.
Speaker 3 (49:38):
Yeah, I think that's true. True. I right, everybody head
over to just the news.
Speaker 4 (49:41):
Oh something I was researching today's story that's going to
be out tonight. The organization behind those cute little anti
ice lapel pins partially fund a bund.
Speaker 3 (49:49):
Your resource, Go figure, Go figure.
Speaker 4 (49:51):
All right, everybody, thanks so much for being with us tonight.
Speaker 3 (49:53):
We'll be back here tomorrow night at the sixteen Eastern
