John Solomon reports on Hillary Clinton's deposition regarding Jeffrey Epstein connections and reveals 8,000 pages of documents showing coordination between the Biden White House, DOJ, and Fulton County DA Fannie Willis in prosecuting Trump. The episode examines alleged weaponization of law enforcement, including sole-source grants and multi-jurisdictional charging strategies.
Insights
- Coordination between federal and state prosecutors on Trump cases appears systematic, with evidence of Biden administration waiving executive privilege and offering sole-source grants to state prosecutors
- The strategy of charging defendants in multiple jurisdictions for similar conduct creates financial and legal burden that may constitute abuse despite double jeopardy protections not technically applying across state/federal lines
- Documents show the January 6 Select Committee shared evidence with state prosecutors before completing its own investigation, suggesting predetermined narratives rather than independent fact-finding
- FBI misconduct extends beyond classified documents case to illegal surveillance of Trump campaign officials' privileged attorney communications, with evidence of intentional misclassification to conceal abuse
- Current FBI leadership under Kash Patel is delivering measurable results (record low murder rates, apprehension of most-wanted fugitives) while facing political attacks from legacy media

We need congressional oversight hearings, and those who are victims need to avail themselves of the American courtroom to find out what happened and to seek justice."
Lindsey Graham
"They were so desperate to pin this on Republicans and specifically Donald Trump, because if you go back, you look at the select committee on January 6th, their goal was to make sure Donald Trump never held political office again."

Well, maybe not a happy Thursday if you're Hillary Clinton. She spent a good part of the day today giving a deposition to the House Oversight Committee about her knowledge or her family's knowledge of Bill Clinton's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, the now dead and convicted child pedophile. We don't know yet what was said. We're going to be reporting all through the night. Hopefully, we'll learn some things. But in the meantime, we did learn something. There were some antics. Yeah, right in the middle of this deposition. a photo came out of the deposition from Congresswoman Lauren Boebert. It went to one of the great influencers on the Internet, and it appeared, and then there was an uproar. Why? Because under the terms of the deposition, no photos were supposed to be taken, just the video footage that was there. So that led to a little brouhaha. But at the end of the day, I think today's deposition will not be nearly as fruitful as the deposition tomorrow when Bill Clinton, the former president and pal of Jeffrey Epstein, gets connected. I do think that that is going to be a really significant and potentially powerful moment. And Hillary Clinton's thing today is I never met Jeffrey Epstein, never set foot on his island. I don't know anything about his crimes. Probably true based on the evidence that we currently know. But Bill Cutton's not going to be able to play that card tomorrow. And we'll have to wait and see what that looks like. We've got a great show for you today. And it's all centered around a scoop that we've broken here in the last two consecutive days at JustTheNews.com. We told you about the first part of it yesterday. And it's an important part. that documents we won under a lawsuit against Fulton County and Fannie Willis, the prosecutor who once indicted Donald Trump over the 2020 election, show that Fannie Willis and her team were closely coordinating with the Biden White House, the Biden Justice Department, and the January 6 Democrat Committee. That is a sign of political collusion. It's a sign that really what was going on is they were coordinating to make sure that they could double the jeopardy, double the pain, double the expense for Trump and his 18 colleagues by charging them both in the federal court in Washington, D.C. and in the state court in Georgia. It is, and then of course, as you know, some of these people were also charged in Wisconsin and Arizona. It is exactly the sort of weaponization and lawfare that so many in America now reject. They don't like this. And for the first time, and I do mean for the first time, we have a really clear picture of what happened. And in a second, I'm going to get you some reaction from Lindsey Graham, the former Senate Judiciary Committee chairman, one of the more influential voices in the Congress. He clearly was concerned about this. And I have a funny feeling he'll be suing a little bit more about over this in the next few days. He said it's quite important that people understand what was going on here and why it's coming on here. But first, let me give you the lineup today because it's actually a pretty good lineup. I'm kind of excited about it. And we're going to kick things off today with the chairman of the House Select Subcommittee on January 6th, the Republican investigation. I think that that's an important voice. And he had some very strong, very strong comments about where we are in the process and where all of us are now beginning to explore the very important issues of collusion, of weaponization, of maybe some mistruths over time. And so Chairman Barry Laudermilk from the great state of Georgia will be here. He'll give us the top of the show. Then we will turn to a very trusted voice. We turn to him often. He's one of my favorite legal analysts to go to. He's a former Senate Judiciary Committee lawyer who used to vet all of the judges that would get on the Supreme Court and the Federal Appeals Court and the district courts. Today, he runs an important group. He's an important voice. Mike Davis will be here in the second block of the show. And I do think that that is an important moment. And then we'll finish up today with Congressman Mark Harris from the great state of North Carolina. I like Congressman Mark Harris, much like what President Trump did in his State of the Union address Tuesday night by showing people the faces of victims, of those who the little girl severely injured by the truck driven by an illegal alien, the National Guardsmen gunned down by a maniacal Afghan illegal alien, the mothers who lost loved ones to drugs or to stabbings or to rapes. Well, Mark Harris does this daily. He looks around the state of North Carolina, He looks around the country and he remembers those who unnecessarily lost their lives to bad policies, whether it's releasing a felon out of prison on no bail or giving sanctuary to a illegal alien who then commits a heinous crime like what occurred on the subway system in Charlotte with that poor Ukrainian woman. Mark Harris will round out the show today with his thoughts on the difference between being a patriot and a hatred. I like that term a lot. I'm going to keep using it because I think it's one of the more important fulcrums upon which the debate of America and the 2026 election will turn. I think it's really, really important. All right. Let me get back to Senator Lindsey Graham and his comments because it'll set up nicely, very nicely, what we all have been talking about for some time. um senator graham socialized our story uh the new one today so let's go through what we've reported so you have the full but we got 8 000 pages of documents from fanny welles they show that this close coordination collusion with the biden white house the biden justice department the january 6 democrat committee the goal is to punish trump at multiple levels um we're supposed to have a double jeopardy protection, but it doesn't ever really play out. At the end of the day, we learn something separate, which is, and this is a question that House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan's been asking for some time. I think we may have the first answer today. And that is, that was the Justice Department and the Biden administration funding these state criminal prosecutions by throwing them grants suddenly? We know that she got about $14 million of grants Fannie Wallace did during the time she was pursuing President Trump. And the new documents we found today are pretty powerful. What do they show? That Fannie Wallace was invited. That's the word in the emails. Invited to apply for a lucrative and sole source grant. What does a sole source grant mean? It means that there's no competition. You're the only person who can qualify to get the grant. It's about $2 million. It occurs in December 2022, the solicitation does. and the signing up for it does. The same time she's about to bring these criminal charges against Donald Trump, it is very clearly what's going on. It feels like Tammany Hall and a boss hog type politics. All right, you're going to go after my favorite political opponent, Donald Trump. We'll give you a little extra cash and it'll be no competition. Soul source, just take it. We don't do that in America. I think most Americans look at it and say that is offensive. It's not right. It's not what we do in America. Well, Senator Lindsey Graham, I think, had a similar sentiment. He shared our story a few hours ago, and he wrote this. And I want to read all of it because I think it's so powerful. I'm going to try to get him on the show as well. I have said for years that Biden's White House and Justice Department had their fingerprints all over local prosecutions of that real Donald Trump, which were designed to stop his political comeback. The recent revelations concerning interactions between the Biden White House, the Biden DOJ, and Fulton County District Attorney Fannie Wells are stunning and unnerving. Stunning and unnerving. If the shoe were on the other foot, Democrats were being targeted by Republicans in this manner, it would be front page news all over the world. The mainstream press will be reluctant to cover this. But I'm not going to be reluctant to find out what happened and seek justice for the victims of this unprecedented weaponization of the law. Within days of President Trump announcing his 2024 presidential campaign, Jack Smith was appointed special counsel. Within months, over 90 felony charges were brought against Trump in New York by Alvin Bragg and Georgia by Fonny Willis and in D.C. by Jack Smith. The tsunami of felony charges coming from the most liberal venues in America were not just supported by Biden's White House and DOJ. Apparently, according to these memos, the Fulton County District Attorney's House may also benefit from shady grants coming from Biden's DOJ. I had to appear before the Fulton County Grand Jury after spending over $1.4 million in court on legal fees. I said then, and I say again now, this was an unprecedented violation and weaponization of the law by Biden's White House and Justice Department meant to stop President Trump's historic comeback. I had to go full speed ahead in pursuing potential legal remedies that I may have in Georgia and against the Biden Justice Department's witch hunt led by Jack Smith. The coordination between Biden's White House and the Justice Department and Fulton County District Attorney Fannie Wallace is only the tip of the iceberg. We need congressional oversight hearings, and those who are victims need to avail themselves of the American courtroom to find out what happened and to seek justice. I really agree with that. Yesterday, we learned that Susie Wiles' phone records were taken, and apparently one of her phone calls with her lawyer listened in on when she was a private citizen. So was Kash Patel at the FBI. We have proof that the FISA warrant against someone like a Carter Page was erroneous and misleading and dishonest. We have so many people whose phone records, eight or nine members of Congress own records. The Fourth Amendment, the protection against unlawful search and seizure, has been eviscerated in so many ways. And I'm really disturbed by it. I really am. And I hope all of you are. And I think Lindsey Graham, we don't always agree with each other on things. But on this issue, he has it exactly right. He eloquently laid out what it is that we found in our reporting And I so grateful for that All right We got a killer show as we told you I really excited about this Mike Davis Chairman Barry Lottomilk, among those. We're going to take a quick commercial break in a second, then we'll get right to those amazing guests. First, though, a quick shout out to my good friends at American Alternative Assets. I love these guys. They are my go-to guys when it comes to gold and silver and precious metal purchases. You know, I've been talking about this. I know Kevin Warsh will probably be a good Federal Reserve Chairman when it comes to interest rates and some of the pressing issues of the day on money management. But he's also a major voice in favor of central bank digital currency, basically getting rid of the paper doll in favor of some digital and trackable device, cryptocurrency or something like that. Now, I've been saying this because once you go to this system, your purchases are no longer going to be private. All right. It's not like cash. A digital dollar could give the government the ability to monitor your every transaction. They could freeze your account without warning. They can restrict what you buy. They can even deduct taxes automatically from your account without going through due process potentially. These tools already exist in the other countries that have already gone to a central bank digital currency. I think we need to think about it again. Before it's built here, that kind of infrastructure, let's make sure we understand what consequences it could have to privacy, to liberty, to the pursuit of happiness and wealth. That's why I partnered with my good friends at American Alternative Assets. They offer you a free report called The Digital Dollar Trap. I've read it. I love this thing. It explains what's happening behind the scenes, why this nomination of warship is so important, and how physical assets like gold could help protect your savings from centralized control. If you want to go get this report, go to johnlikesgold.com or call 855-GOLD-340 to get a request by mail. One more turn, johnlikesgold.com or 855-GOLD-340. We'll be back in a second with Chairman Barry Lottemel. Hey, folks, if you're a homeowner like me in America, you need to listen to this. The FBI has been warning about a type of real estate fraud on the rise called title theft, and your equity is the target, your hard-earned equity. Here's how it works. Criminals forge your signature on a single document, use a fake notary stamp, and file it with your local county. And just like that, on record, the bad guys own your home. Now, using your home ownership, they take out loans against your equity and even sell your property. And you won't know about it until a foreclosure or collection notice shows up in the mail a long while afterwards. That's why I've partnered with Home Title Lock so you can protect your equity and find out today if you're already a victim. Use my promo code JTN at thehometitlelock.com. You'll get a free title history report and a free trial of their million-dollar triple lock protection. That's 24-7 monitoring of your title records, urgent alerts to any changes, and if fraud occurs, God forbid, their U.S.-based restoration team will spend up to a million bucks to fix it. It's a million dollars. Think about that. This is the best way to detect the most important asset in your portfolio, your home. It's always one of our biggest assets.

Much of what we learned about January 6th before we got these documents from Fannie Wills, his files, came from our first guest tonight. He's the chairman of the Select Subcommittee on January 6th on the House Judiciary Committee. Great congressman for the state of Georgia, Chairman Barry Laudamook. Sir, good to have you on the show. It's good to be with you on the road today. But, hey, this is so important, it's worth making a stop. We are grateful that you're with us. You had this right. You right for the moment you started the J6 investigation for Republicans. You had a suspicion that the Biden White House, the Biden Justice Department and the J6 Democrats. Well, well, they were in bed with all the states that were trying to bring junior cases to Jack Smith. When you look at these documents now, what's your top line assessment worse than we thought? I think so. The first inclination that we had that there was some type of coordination was during the previous investigation. in the 118th Congress, I came across a loan document buried in some of the documents that they did preserve. And it was, in my opinion, something they probably forgot to take out, but it was a letter from Fannie Willis to Chairman Thompson asking about him sharing some specific documents. Of course, when I asked the chairman about it, he didn't recall anything or if they provided documents, even though in their final report, it referenced documents that they gave them. My issue is I want to know what they gave them, you know, and that's where I think our next step is. Very important. Chairman, you have such an interest. You're at an amazing intersection because you're from Georgia. So you're intimately familiar with her record and her behavior in Georgia. But you also obviously chaired up the committee that's looking into this. What it says to me that there was so much close coordination between what should have been two separate investigations is that they were willing to pin anything on anyone for any reason, even if they weren't present at the time or had any involvement at all. They were so desperate. I mean, when you when you go back and you look at this from a thirty five thousand foot level, they were so desperate to pin this on Republicans and specifically Donald Trump, because if you go back, you look at the select committee on January 6th, their goal was to make sure Donald Trump never held political office again. And if they could have put him in jail, they would have. But where we are right now, we're seeing that that that was broader than just a select committee. Of course, Fannie Willis was she was so desperate to prosecute and and imprison other people associated with Trump. They were willing and we had the Biden White House going along with it, changing precedent that had ruled documents for centuries in this country. Right. The executive privilege. And they were so desperate to find something. And this is, John and Amanda, this is what strikes me is this tells me they weren't finding enough. They weren't finding enough to actually do what they were trying to do. So they were getting more desperate. And same thing with Fonnie Willis. She was so desperate. She was willing to do whatever, even coordinating with select committee on January 6th. And some of the documentation that we're finding was late in the select committee's process, predominantly meaning. they had already constructed their narrative you know they filed their final report in december of 2022 and this is when we really see a lot of coordination happening between the two because they know that there's only a few weeks left before the republicans take over so they really have to get documentation and then start working with the biden administration since they were going to actually continue on for two more years yeah yeah no doubt about it all right uh we look at the J6 collusion between the Biden White House, the Biden Justice Department and the J6 and these local state prosecutors in the larger light of weaponization in our system and our Fourth Amendment protected judicial system. You're supposed to be protected from double jeopardy, meaning you don't get charged for the same crimes in two different jurisdictions. But it looks like that's what the Democrats are trying to do, which is to not only create double or to create jeopardy in two places for defendants, maybe to break their bank or break their will, but also to just drain their resources and the attention span of their lawyers and others. Does this ability for Georgia to bring essentially the same Jack Smith case as the federal case, but in a different jurisdiction far from Washington, does this look to you like a form of abuse? And what reforms could potentially be ahead that we should look at in the Justice Department, the FBI and other places to prevent this in the future? Well, it does have the appearance of double jeopardy, but you got to go back and you look at what their goal was. Their goal was to put this, as they called, act of insurrection on the shoulders of Republicans. That's why they came after me with some fictitious claim that I led the insurrectionists on reconnaissance tours. And by the way, as much as they use insurrection and even in these documents, the word insurrection is used. There was not a single person that was ever indicted or even the charges of insurrection brought up on them. So as much as it's used, it's interesting that they didn't even try to apply that to anyone there. But your question plays back to their desperation to pin this on Republicans. If they can't get it one way, let's get it another. Let's just throw everything against the wall and hope that something sticks. As far as what we're going to have to do about it, we need to really look at from Congress. We need to look at how the Department of Justice, even Congress, has been used in weaponizing. We see it happening right now. I mean, if you look at the dysfunction of Congress, It's because we're so focused on using legislation as a tool to beat the other side up instead of finding what can we agree on? We need to fix this for the betterment of the country. They start looking at especially the Democrats. And you saw this last night in the State of the Union. They couldn't stand for anything. Their hatred for Trump is so great. They wouldn't even stand to acknowledge a young girl who was severely injured by an illegal alien. And it isn't that they don't care about the girl. It's just they hate Trump so much more. And this is what was driving the Fannie Willis's, the Liz Cheney's, everyone who and Jack Smith was just their disdain for Donald Trump and Republicans. So we really have to look at it through Congress, through the eyes of what can we do to stop this weaponization and bring more accountability? Because I've even found out now that even the Department of Justice was looking into some areas that I was not aware they were looking in. I knew that the Select Committee on January 6th, they were looking into members of Congress. It appears now, and I'm talking about members of the House, that Arctic Frost was even delving in looking at members of Congress regarding January 6th. Wow. Mr. Chairman, I think a lot of people agree with you that there's got to be another look at how this is done. Would that also include examining and possibly rejiggering the processes? Because we do have processes in this country for document collection. And when it comes to, you know, an investigation, a state investigation in Georgia, bypassing Congress, just going straight to the DOJ to get these documents to coordinate. That seems that seems like a gross, a gross abuse of power. It is because these are congressional documents. OK, they were looking for documents that were collected through the process of the select committee on January 6th, Pelosi's committee, at least the documents that they kept. And this is another question I have because we know, as my committee has proven, that any document that didn't uphold their predetermined narrative, those just seemed to disappear. They were not made public. And this is why I want to know, what did they give Fonnie Willis? Did they give her everything? I can bet you they didn't give her the documents that they wanted to make sure never saw the light of day, right? But the fact that these documents were shared in the way they were with the Department of Justice and then the Department of Justice shared them, that's a huge problem. It was the same problem I had is when we found out that House documents were sent to the White House and Homeland Security for them to archive, not the House. This is what the Select Committee did to keep us from finding those documents. And so it is a huge problem when it comes to document management that has to be fixed. Yeah, so important. One last question for you, sir, before we let you go. Tomorrow, these same documents are going to show that as Fannie Willis was coordinating with the Biden White House to get executive privilege waived and get the Justice Department to give two exemptions so that federal workers could come testify in there and get the documents from the J6 committee, that the Biden Justice Department dangled a financial carrot, basically offering and inviting Fannie Wells' office to apply for what they called a sole source grant, meaning a grant that would ultimately not have any competition because they were the only one able to get it Right What should we be concerned about that and what might you look into on that Well money talks We always look at the money and where the money flows and what was that money that used for, especially if the grant was given. And I'm just speculating here. But if the grant was given to enhance her investigation into Trump, that's that's a real significant problem as far as I'm concerned. And one other thing about the way the documents are handled and the exemption from certain documents, we have to make sure that the law applies equally to everyone. If you go back and you look at several programs that Obama was involved in, this executive privilege was not waived. It was upheld. This was for Biden administration to waive executive privilege for Trump's documents. that was unprecedented and it could have a significant change forever in this country. So we have to get back to a place to where justice means equal application of the law to everyone, regardless of party. All right, folks, another good guest right ahead. He always calls them like he sees in balls and strikes, often provocatively. Mike Davis up next right after these messages. All right, folks, really excited to have my next guest on the show. He is one of the sharpest legal minds this country has ever produced. For years, he helped the Senate vet judges who would make it to the Supreme Court, the Appellate Court, the District Court, and he also helped Chuck Rousey do so many important oversight issues. Today, he is one of the most influential voices anywhere in the United States. He also oversees the Article III project, which I think is one of the great constitutional projects in America. He is a great voice, a great friend, and he calls balls and strikes just like he sees them. He is Mike Davis. Mike, welcome back to the show. Thanks for having me back on. We love having you on. I always want to pick your brain about things. And so I want to start with something we broke a couple days ago. We've had two consecutive days of it. We've got about 8000 pages of documents that Fannie Willis tried to keep from just the news in America First Legal for about three years. She finally capitulated, gave us the documents this week. And what you see is this extensive coordination between her local office as they're trying to come up with Georgia state charges against Trump and the feds, the Biden White House, which waives executive privilege for her at the state level. The Justice Department, which exempts or gives Tui permission for federal employees to help her case. And then the J-6 committee, which isn't even done with its work, but it's already sending its evidence to her. And it looks like pretty clearly you have a machinery, a full Democratic machinery with a double Jeopardy lawfare. They're basically trying to double the legal burden, double the legal cost, double the legal reputational damage for Trump and his followers by bringing a Georgia case right alongside Jack Smith. When you see this, what do you think? Well, what I think is it's exactly what we've been talking about on your show for more than three years, that Joe Biden, his White House, his Justice Department politicized and weaponized federal law enforcement and intel agencies along with state law enforcement, like the Fulton County DA's office with Fannie Willis, when they brought these bogus charges against President Trump. We knew from before that Nathan Wade, Fannie Willis' boyfriend slash special prosecutor, actually billed 16 hours of his time, $250 an hour, $4,000 for his meetings with the Biden White House, including the Biden White House counsel before Fannie Willis brought for unprecedented bogus charges against President Trump and his aides and his allies for the non-crime of objecting to a presidential election, which is allowed by the Electoral Count Act and the First Amendment, this new evidence is even more damning. It shows clear illegal collusion, clear illegal conspiracy between the Biden administration and Fannie Willis to get President Trump. And they even brought, the Biden administration even gave Fannie Willis' office a sole source government's grants to do this. Highly irregular, probably illegal. And this is very damning evidence. Yeah, it really is. It's funny. They invite Fannie Willis to the document show. They invite her. Then they say, don't worry. It's a competitive grant, but we're going to make it sole source, meaning no one can get it except you. And it's happening right at the moment where she's starting to move the grand jury towards the charges. Jim Jordan long said he feared that the Justice Department was underwriting the state prosecutions to create this dual shotgun, legal shotgun at the president and his team. Do you think that grant probably gets reviewed by the FBI now? Should it be reviewed by the FBI? Well, it should. And here's why. Remember, Fannie Willis paid, Big Fannie paid her dumb, unqualified boyfriend, Nathan Wade, $700,000 in Fulton County taxpayer funds to be the special prosecutor just for this case. And she lied about the fact that Nathan Wade is her boyfriend and she is taking illegal kickbacks from this money being paid to Nathan Wade in the form of these lavish trips around the world. Belize, the Caribbean. Remember, she told everyone she was a gray goose girl when she was testifying about this in Georgia. And there is smoking gun evidence here of illegal corruption, illegal collusion, a conspiracy against rights against Trump, his top aides, his allies with this Biden-driven and Biden-funded prosecution down in Georgia. Yeah, it's pretty amazing. All right, so I want to ask about what – there are times where the feds and the states cooperate in a murder investigation. They're doing it with Guthrie right now. When does that cooperation turn into collusion that becomes unlawful? And what makes what Georgia and Jack Smith and the FBI and others were doing in the Biden White House doing that makes it that makes it cross that line when you look at it? Because there was no legal predicate for what they were doing. There was no crime. There was no possible crime. It is not a crime to object to a presidential election. Again, it's allowed by the Electoral Count Act of 1887 of the First Amendment. That's why Democrats didn't go to prison for objecting to Republican wins in 1968, 2000, 2004, and 2016. It is very obvious that these four bogus indictments were driven by President Biden and his White House, his White House counsel's office, and his DOJ. It was President Biden who had to waive President Trump's constitutional executive privilege claim going back 250 years to George Washington. They threw everything they had at President Trump. They tried to take him out. They tried to bankrupt him for non-fraud. They tried to throw him in prison for life four times for non-crimes. They underfunded his Secret Service protection and tried to get him killed twice. twice when Biden said Trump was the gravest threat to democracy and to put a bullseye on him. They tried to even take him off the ballot unconstitutionally in Colorado and made it elsewhere. They did everything they could to take out Trump. And now he's back in the office, back in the White House, back in office, and his Justice Department is moving forward. And they must hold these lawfare Democrats accountable for this republic ending, unprecedented weaponization of law enforcement and intel agencies to take out a political opponent. There has to be accountability or this is going to happen again. Yeah, no, you're exactly right. There's no deterrence unless there's a punishment for this past conduct. Does this belong down in Florida with the Miami U.S. attorneys? Is this part of one long decade of a conspiracy of weaponization? Does it belong there in Florida, you think? Yes, absolutely. Because this was driven by the Biden White House. The Biden White House counsel, Jonathan Suh, the deputy White House counsel for Biden, waives executive privilege for Trump on behalf of President Biden. He did that with the records case. He did that with this Fulton County case. Everything leads to Joe Biden. This was all part of coordinated, orchestrated lawfare by President Biden and his team. One of the racketeering charges in the Georgia case, by the way, it's the first case to actually allege that the electors were somehow an unlawful racketeering scheme. But twice before in American history, 1876 and in 1960 with John F. Kennedy, alternate electors were offered to the Senate and no one got prosecuted. In fact, it was deemed to be a meaningful way to maybe preserve an option for a legal argument. The fact that that gets overrun here, that no one even looks at the history and says, hey, we didn't charge this in years past. We actually thought that was the right thing to do. Is that a part of the evidence that will show that this was sort of an unlawful prosecution, you think? Yes, absolutely. It was a malicious prosecution. It did not have a legal predicate or legal reason or a legal basis to bring these charges. Everyone knew that the alternate electors were to ensure President Trump had people in place if he won his election challenges. There was no issue of fraud. It's not like Rudy Giuliani had the real electors tied up in his trunk and he sent in fake electors with fake IDs. This is how you challenge elections in the past. And they tried to turn that the Democrats, Joe Biden, working with his puppet, Fannie Willis and her dumb boyfriends, Nathan Wade, tried to turn in, tried to turn an election challenge that's happened many times in our history into a RICO criminal conspiracy. And now there must be accountability for this. All right. You have been such a powerful voice in other parts of the weaponization. We got some new examples again yesterday. It's almost becoming daily that we're seeing these revelations. Yesterday, the revelation that Kash Patel's phone records as a private citizen when he was an advisor to President Trump and Susie Wiles when she was a private advisor before she was chief of staff, they both were taken. And in the case of Susie Wiles, at least allegedly, her phone conversation with her lawyer was listened to. This is in a precursor to what became Arctic Frost. It's actually focused on the classified documents case. So how far over the line is that sort of behavior by the FBI? This is egregious, egregious misconduct by the FBI, criminal misconduct by the FBI. The Biden Justice Department, again, without a legal predicate, without a legal basis, illegally spied on President Trump's campaign. Co-manager Susie Wiles, along with leading Surgeon Cash Patel. This included spying on the privileged communications between Susie Wiles and her attorney. According to Reuters, the attorney consented, according to the FBI, to this secret and illegal spying on this attorney's client. This attorney, Susie Wiles' attorney, has since issued a statement saying, no, no, no, I never consented to such spying. That would lead to his disformin, as he said, in his statement to the press. The Biden Justice Department then attempted to bury this illegal spying by misclassifying it within the FBI so it could never be uncovered. but they didn anticipate that Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley my former boss would team up with the FBI director Cash Patel and uncover this explosive scandal So heads must roll here This is as bad as it gets when you have the FBI spying on a political opponent, including the political opponent's privileged communications with the attorney, lying about that, covering up. Doug, this is going to get really ugly for the Biden administration. Yeah, it's going to be among the worst abuses we've seen. And there's another investigation they're just about to unmask, which falls in between Crossfire Hurricane and the classified documents case. Maybe even worse abuses is what we're beginning to hear from the work we are. You had a really powerful must read op ed in on the Fox News website. I thought it was so well written because it just was based. In fact, the media likes to take a shot at Kash Patel all day. But when you pull away from the fake storylines of the media or the preferred storylines of the legacy media and you look statistically at Kash Patel's tenure as FBI director, it stands out like no director in the history of the FBI. Tell us what you found. Yeah, I mean, so Kash Patel went over to the Olympics. He worked his tail off for many, many days to make sure that the U.S. Olympians and our dignitaries over there were safe. And he celebrated with the U.S. hockey team, the men's hockey team, after their gold medal win at the Olympics. He should have. He's a senior government official. He put the president of the United States on the phone to celebrate with him. And people are acting like having a beer with a hockey team is the greatest scandal ever. It's just utter nonsense. We had Hunter Biden who allegedly had cocaine in the White House, including on the Truman balcony, but the FBI director, Cash Patel, can't share a beer with our gold medalist. I would, and so I published this piece just to remind people what Cash Patel has done. In less than a year, he located six of the FBI's top 10 most wanted. You have murder rates down to a record low. you have violent crime dropping dramatically all across the country with every crime under President Bush, Pam Bondi, the Attorney General, and Kash Patel's leadership. Kash Patel is delivering day after day after day for real Americans in real America. And I think the reason they're coming after Kash is because of the scandal we just saw with the illegal spying on Susie Wiles and her attorney, along with Cash Patel before he became the FBI director. Cash Patel is over the target. He is bold. He is fearless. He is a reformer. He's delivering results. He's shaking up the FBI, and it's scaring the hell out of the people who are the deep staters who have been running a corrupt FBI for many, many years. Yeah, no doubt. No doubt about it. Well, it's one of the most powerful reads. You just put the facts together, whether it's the number of people captured on the most wanted list, the drop of the murder rate to 120-year low. It is stunning. And, Mike, as you always do, you lead with facts and intellect. And we're always lucky when you come on the show and remind us of that. Thanks for joining us. A lot to be watched. I have a funny feeling we're about to get some more bombshells next week. So it's going to be a pretty exciting week ahead. But thanks for being with us. Thank you, John. All right, my friend. There's one of the best legal minds I've ever come across in my entire life, folks. Go check him out on all the work he does, particularly over on social media. I follow him every day on X, where he's at MRDD, M-I-A. He is amazing. Just go check him out. All right, folks, one more good one to go. Congressman Mark Harris, a man who memorializes and remembers the names of victims of Democrat insane policies, illegal aliens, no bail release of felons. Mark Harris calls it out and he remembers those victims names, something we should do a better job of all in America. We'll have Congressman Harris up next right after these messages. He is a congressman from the great state of North Carolina. His ex-feet is a must read. He does such great work. He is Congressman Mark Harris. So good to have you on the show today. Thank you so much, John. And Amanda, it's great to be with you tonight. It is a great honor to have you. I know you have your own expectations of what you think will happen in the chamber tonight. But already just even going in, it's pretty clear tonight that President Trump is going to lay down a track of new ideas to guide his second year in office, that show people Republicans have more plans, more ambitions, more solutions. The Democrats seem to only have white dresses, T-shirts and no shows to respond. How will Americans deal with that very strong contrast? Well, John, I think the American people are continuing to see through the antics. They're seeing through what the Democratic Party has become. And I think it is very, very tragic when we have come to this place that we are. But but let's get real. This is what tends to happen when a party has sort of been taken over by the far left, a party that really doesn't have a true leader of it. They really don't have any winning issues with the American people, and they seem to be rudderless, as I oftentimes describe it. And so when you're in that position, all you can do is try to create chaos. All you can do is try to walk away. And I think that that's exactly what a number of them are going to do tonight. They're going to just walk away. The others that will be there, I hope, will be there and show some decorum in the midst of it. But listen, this is the president of the United States. This is a historical moment. This is a State of the Union address. And if there's ever a time that we as Americans can come together and hear the president as he addresses the joint session of Congress in the State of the Union, Listen, it's something we need to do, and it's something we celebrate. And I'm very excited about the potential tonight. Yes, the president has a lot of wins, and I'm sure that upsets my colleagues on the other side of the aisle. They don't want to hear about how crime has come down, that we have the lowest number of murders since 1900, 125 years. That's an incredible drop in the murder rate. They don't want to hear how 2.6 million folks have gone out of the country, 600 plus thousand by deportation and almost 2 million, 1.9 million that have self-deported, that they don't want to hear about the borders being secure and that no illegals are getting across. So I could go on and on. I'm not going to steal his speech. He has a long litany of things that is going to be celebrated tonight. And unfortunately, the other side just doesn't want to hear it. I think that's true. Sir, Democrats, unfortunately, have a pretty strong track record, though, when it comes on maybe not running on a message and just running on fear. How do Republicans counter that fear and make sure that the truth gets through it? Well, I think we've got to just keep communicating our message. We've got to communicate and remind people. I'm sure the president will do this. You've got to remind people where we've come from. He's got to remind people where we found ourselves just about 13, 14 months ago, following four years of the Biden administration policies. Then he's got to remind them of what we've been able to do this year. And that message is going to be so important to continue to remind the American people of those very things that I just started talking about a few moments ago. And then he's got to remind people of the America that we've still got to get done. He's got to talk about, I hope, sanctuary cities and defunding them, because so many of the things we've seen go wrong are in places like Minneapolis, where we're not seeing cooperation between the local and the state and the federal, but rather just totally ignoring federal law on immigration. And that's just not going to stand. So I think he's going to talk about that. I hope he's going to talk about the Save America Act because all of America, 95 percent of Republicans and 70 plus percent of Democrats all agree that we need that kind of election integrity in the Save America Act. So I look for him to call the Senate out and urge them to do things immediately. It's time for the Senate to take action on these things that we have been doing and have already passed out of the House. Sir, there was an extraordinary set of circumstances in the last few days, whether they were in Munich while they shut down our homeland security here. Democrats were saying silly things, whether they were in an interview or an event like Gavin Newsom over the weekend where he suggested that just because the audience was black, it must have had low SAT scores. or whether you're the Wisconsin governor, Tony Evers, who had to admit that he built a system in Wisconsin economy that only works if you have illegal aliens to cheapen the workforce. Democrats have had a lot of shoe leather moments in their mouth. How does how do Republicans begin to turn those around and begin to make a case for 26 that the difference between Democrats and Republicans is more than just rhetoric? It's literally the way they look at people. it is more than rhetoric it really is john the way we look at people the way we look at the american dream the way we look at the fact even something as important as a state of the union speech it's a time where we come together we may disagree listen if there's a democrat president speaking i'm going to disagree with most of what he says but i would certainly hope that i'm going to honor the decorum that is expected of me as a member of the United States House of Representatives. I think that we need to continue to communicate our message about the vision for America. Listen, we're making America great again. That's more than a slogan. That is something that really is inspired. Look at who his guests are going to be tonight. We've just won the gold medals in the Olympics in hockey here in the United States. And how all of us, when I even look at a documentary just the other day, it reminded me of the miracle on ice from when we won it in 1980. And again, it just welled up inside of me. I think those kind of moments that we can remind the American people of just keeps folks moving forward. And I think that is so important. And we've got to be able to message that. I think we went on policy. We just do. We've just got to communicate it effectively and let folks understand it. Yeah, maybe having the miracle on ice guys in the Oval a few months ago was a sign of what was to come. Absolutely. Sir, before we let you go, speaking of fear, there is something that is a scary prospect for both Republicans and President Trump. And that is the notion that Democrats could take the House. If they do, they have already promised impeachment after impeachment, after blockade, after blockade. Do you think that they intend to actually do that? Because, I mean, maybe they want to sell messages or maybe they do just want to sell impeachment. I have no doubt that that's exactly what they're going to do. All right, folks, that rounds up our day today. What a great conversation. A big thank you to Congressman Barry Lauderdale, Congressman Mark Harris, and, of course, the always colorful Mike Davis. Also, a big shout out to my good friends at American Alternative Assets. If you want to go get that guide on the digital dollar trap, go to JohnLikesGold.com. All right, back tomorrow, Congressman Tom Barrett from Michigan. Dr. Peter McCullough is in the house, and we're going to tell you a horrifying story about a real estate insider who ripped off a $1.5 million home from owners who had no idea out in Burbank, California. Yep, out where Johnny Carson used to have his TV series. This is a stunning story, and it's why I keep telling you about HomeTedalock. We'll cover that tomorrow. Until then, God bless you, and have a good night.
