Time Text
Hey guys, welcome to a special Tuesday edition of Triggered.
There's so much news breaking literally every second, so we're here to bring you the very latest on all of it.
I apologize we didn't do the normal Monday, but you had my father's birthday on Saturday.
In D.C. we did that.
Then I had to fly down to Florida for Father's Day to spend it with the kids.
Then I had to run up to New York.
I had to come back and I had to last night I had my daughter's 11th birthday.
Chloe turned 11. So it was a little bit of a zoo and rather than try to cram it all in and try to figure it out, we just said, you know what, let's just do a special Tuesday edition.
Keep it a little simple, not have me stressed and most importantly, not have me in trouble with a very aggressive 11 year old.
You guys know how that works.
So a plot to create fake mail-in ballots in the 2020 election.
This probably shouldn't surprise any of us, given their actions, given how strong Trump was on China, given what they did during COVID, etc., etc.
But I don't say this lightly, guys.
I mean, this story is huge.
This is like Joe Biden being senile and no one knowing it, huge.
And now, FBI Director Kash Patel has declassified the documents, some of whom were hidden by the usual actors.
You can only guess, but we'll get into that shortly.
And he sent them to Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley's office.
For review and release.
So we're going to get into all of that because most of the media will likely ignore it entirely.
This is one of those we're going to need you to share.
We're going to need you to blow it out there to your friends so that people understand just how corrupted our systems have become.

No pun intended.
So before we get to John Solomon, guys, let's take a look at some of the top headlines.
And we'll begin, obviously, in the Middle East, where my father has been incredibly consistent.
Iran can't have a nuclear weapon, and the Iranian regime has been given very clear direction on what they need to do.
But so far, they've refused to make a deal.
Here's my father on Air Force One last night.
Are you open to negotiating with the Iranians right now, or do you want to wait?
I don't know.
I've been negotiating.
I told them to do the deal.
They should have done the deal.
Their cities have been blown to pieces, lost a lot of people.
They should have done the deal.
I told them, do the deal.
So, I don't know.
I'm not too much in a mood to negotiate.
Now, there's been a lot of noise on all of this stuff, guys, and I get it.
I'm the last person that ever even wants to think about, let alone talk about, you know, any kind of boots on the ground.
But to be clear, the Trump White House isn't talking about that.
They're not talking about boots on the ground or starting new wars.
Here's just a small sample of that.
Iran wants to deal with us, but they don't know how.
We had a meeting with them on Saturday.
We have another meeting scheduled next Saturday.
I said, that's a long time.
You know, that's a long time.
So I think they might be tapping us along.
But Iran has to get rid of the concept of a nuclear weapon.
They cannot have a nuclear weapon.
He can't have a nuclear weapon.
Nobody can have.
We can't have anybody have a nuclear weapon, you know?
We can't have nuclear weapons.
And I think they're tapping us along because we're so used to dealing with stupid people in this country.
And I had Iran.
Perfect.
You had no attacks.
You would have never had October 7th in Israel.
The attack by Hamas.
Because Iran was broke.
It was stone cold broke when I was president.
And I don't want to do that.
I want them to be a rich, great nation.
The only thing is, one thing, simple.
It's really simple.
They can't have a nuclear weapon.
And they've got to go fast.
Because they're fairly close to having one.
And they're not going to have one.
And if we have to do something very harsh, we'll do it.
And I'm not doing it for us.
I'm doing it for the world.
And these are radicalized people.
And they cannot have a nuclear weapon.
And remember this week?
It was 10 years ago.
Yesterday.
Actually, that was the other big anniversary that we were celebrating this week.
We had Father's Day.
We had my dad's birthday.
We had the 250th anniversary of the Army.
That was really cool.
Maybe I'll play some clips.
You know, for you guys of that one as well, from behind the scenes, we had my daughter's birthday, Father's Day, it was a wild one.
But it was also 10 years ago yesterday that my father came down that gilded escalator and upended American politics forever.
He did it by trusting his instincts, upending the status quo, saying what need to be said, and exerting pure political strength and perseverance.
Look, I don't think anyone wants it, even the Democrats, shockingly.
I mean, I guess they'd be happy for it if it upended a Trump coalition.
So they'd probably risk it just for that because they're sick masters.
But we have to let people know, and our enemies need to know, that they are going to be held accountable.
We saw that in the first Trump term, and in November, the American people voted the way they did for a reason.
And one thing I can assure you of, our U.S. service members and personnel will be protected and not be needlessly put in harm's way.
And it's why we need strong leadership to ensure that our adversaries don't get away with what they got away with under Biden, which was appeasement and empty rhetoric.
And in many cases, for far too long, the swamp was just outright fleecing the American taxpayer through groups like USAID.
Because now we're learning that three contractors, three of them, have admitted to a decades-long bribery scheme.
Involving contracts worth over $550 million from USAID.
That's over half a billion dollars.
And that's just the three they've really put the screws to already.
Imagine how many more there are.
Imagine how many over-budgeted agencies are doing exactly the same thing.
Remember, we had Luke Rosiak at The Daily Wire on the show not too long ago who broke the story and uncovered how contracting officers were steering...
And this was just one example.
There are ongoing investigations into just how many different examples of this same criminal behavior there are that have yet to be prosecuted.
But, like all things, it takes time, and I'm looking forward to seeing the prosecutions on all of them.
And speaking of which...
And instead, I don't know, let's go out on a limb here, actually prosecute violent rioters in their own city.
I keep hearing about peaceful protests and all of that nonsense every day, day in and day out, and then I'm watching cars and stores being lit on fire, Molotov cocktails being thrown.
These aren't peaceful protests, folks.
This has been going on for over a week.
And Karen Bass and Gavin Newsom are more interested in attacking Trump than they are keeping their city safe, which is frankly par for the course for basically all of the Democrats at this point.
And of course, the regime media is still pushing their claims that the protests were, quote, mostly peaceful.
Remember that one?
Mostly peaceful.
Like this great summer of love in 2020.
Very peaceful.
Very peaceful.
Buildings are burning, cars are being destroyed, millions of dollars in damage, people being injured, beat up in the streets.
You know, mostly peaceful.
But for like 99% of it, it's mostly peaceful, folks.
Give me a break.
They're literally using the same line.
According to the Media Research Center, the phrase has been used 211 times since the riots broke out.
Check this analysis out.
I do want to point this out.
I think we've got to call spades when we see them.
And to have a media that 211 times calls the riots peaceful.
And CNN was responsible for 123 of those.
MSNBC 88. To call them peaceful when there are literally law enforcement officers who were harmed during them.
It's not just a media malpractice.
It's a dereliction of duty to give accurate information.
It's important that people understand what's going on.
That these riots are organized.
That they are intended to be nationwide.
And they're intended to go after the rule of law.
You know, you have people saying they want to not enforce border protections and security.
And you see so much about how these riots are going, very similar to how the BLM riots went in 2020.
And I noticed you talked about what was happening happening in Portland with the ICE facility.
It's worth remembering that those same people seized a federal courthouse in Portland for months in the summer of 2020.
And Americans are really sick and tired of seeing this kind of violence go unchecked.
Political violence can happen from any place, but there really is a problem on the left with sustained political violence, like going back for decades.
And it needs to be honestly reported.
But today, we have an explosive story destroying yet another fake news narrative.
Because according to a massive story from John Solomon, FBI Director Kash Patel on Monday evening turned over to Congress an intelligence report raising concerns that China had mass-produced Fake U.S. driver's licenses to carry out a scheme to hijack the 2020 election with fake mail-in ballots for Joe Biden.
Huh.
You know what?
It kind of reminds me of, remember November 6th, 7th, and 8th of last year when even the Democrats got on TV and said, Huh?
Where are those 8 million votes that got Joe Biden to 82 million votes in 2020?
Where are they?
It's almost like they didn't exist to begin with.
Huh?
Huh?
I wonder if this had anything to do with it.
Specifically, guys, these included substantiated allegations of plans from the CCP to manufacture fake driver's licenses, ship them to the United States for the purpose of facilitating fraudulent mail-in ballots, but under Ray's FBI, under Christopher Ray, remember the guy who swore before Congress about these things, the reports were abruptly recalled.
And never disclosed to the Republic.
I wonder why that is.
Could it be because he knew about it and he swore before Congress that these things weren't happening, so, you know, if they never find out, it's not a lie, right?
This may just be the tip of the iceberg.
We'll get into all of it with John Solomon in just moments.
But first, guys, remember to check out Berna to protect yourself in a time of crisis.
Berna's Leth-Lisa launchers are equipped with tear gas and kinetic ammunition.
They're designed to incapacitate an attacker for up to 40 minutes, and Berna is excited to introduce an all-new Compact Launcher.
It's the same size as a smartphone, allowing you to conceal carry everywhere comfortably and with confidence.
Over 80% of the components of the Compact Launcher are sourced in the United States, and their pistols are hand-assembled in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
Berna is legal in all 50 states, requires no background checks, and can be shipped directly to your door.
Try before you buy.

That's B-Y-R-N-A dot com.
Check it out, guys.
Guys, joining me now, just the news founder, great friend of the show, investigative reporter, John Solomon.
John, thanks for being here.
Yeah, great to be with you, Don.
Big day.
Yeah, it sounds like it.
And I guess, guys, this is apparently a lot of this.
I guess you just got it a few seconds ago, so we may be breaking some serious news today on the show.
But, John, this is a massive story on the CCP, the Chinese Communist Party's 2020 election fraud plot.
Can you give us the big picture, and then we'll go through each detail piece by piece?
You bet.
So the same country that sent those scientists in with the pathogens a few weeks ago that could wipe out our crops, the same scientists that hid the origins of COVID-19 at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
And created it.
Yeah, and created it.
Lab created it.
We now know that DIA had concluded in June 2020 that it was created.
That same country had a plot to try to hijack the election and steal it from your father and give it to Joe Biden.
Why do we know that?
That's exactly what the FBI had.
The FBI developed a source.
It was a new source.
They were still vetting him.
This source told the FBI in August of 2020 that China was mass-producing fake U.S. driver's licenses, shipping them to Chinese students and residents, both here illegally and legally in America, so that they could go get fake mail-in ballots and hijack the election.
The report specifically stated that the goal was to help Joe Biden defeat Donald Trump in the 2020 election.
Now, it goes out for a few days to the intelligence community like a normal intelligence warning would go out, and then it's suddenly recalled, which is such an odd thing.
It very rarely happens.
And the reason for the recall is we want to just re-interview the source again, and then it never surfaces ever again.
It never gets investigated.
It's never looked at.
We now know, last night for the reporting I did, that about a month after this report came out, the Customs and Border Protection Agency, a separate federal agency, intercepted about 20,000 of those fake Chinese driver's licenses coming in the mail into the United States.
In other words, the source was corroborated.
What they had said actually came true, but that didn't stop the deep state from turning a blind eye, not further investigating this.
Kash Patel, late last night, turned these documents over.
To Senator Charles Grassley, who first heard about this episode from a whistleblower, it is now corroborated.
And just a few minutes ago, I got the actual Intel report language.
I can read 17 when we get a chance.
Okay, well, yeah, listen, just so we're clear, so they found 20,000 driver's licenses coming in.
That doesn't mean they didn't find lots of others.
And I think if I look at the margin of error in some of these states, I mean, you know, whether it's 2016, last election, I mean, this last one was a little bit more of a blowout.
But in 16 and 20, I mean, entire states were decided on 8,000 votes, 15,000 votes.
So 20 being just one shipment, and presumably they didn't put all their eggs in one basket and just get unlucky that they were caught.
The entire election was decided on 45,000 votes in 2020.
If they got a couple of these shipments in, that could have been the margin of error by itself.
You're exactly right.
And the fact that we don't know the answer is the crime here.
The FBI didn't do its job.
Instead of continuing down the path of investigating, corroborating, when they hear from the CPB reopening it, all right, maybe you pulled it back, reopened it when the CPB finds the licenses.
Nope.
They swept it under a rug.
And then after the election, remember that famous 60 Minutes story where the guy from the Homeland Security Department said this was a perfect election.
No foreign interference, as he said.
He looked in the camera and said that.
We now know there were two foreign interferences, this China plot and an earlier plot by Iran to hack a database, steal the identities of tens of thousands of American voters, and use it to try to influence the election.
I haven't even heard of that one.
That's a new one.
Let's see how much time we have.
We got to get into that one.
But what I want to know is, you know, all these guys that did that, you know, in their pompous...
I mean, Chris Wray was FBI director during this period of time.
And if I recall correctly, didn't he testify before Congress that there was no interference?
So when he said that, were they already aware of these things, right?
Because, I mean, now with the newly declassified intelligence reports, we know they were recalled.
Did they get recalled?
Because at the exact same time, Christopher Wray testified to Congress that there were no known plots from foreign interference.
So this looks like a cover-up.
Do we know the timing of when his testimony, when the initial discovery was?
This gets recalled in early September, and then Chris Wray is testifying in September at an oversight hearing.
Now, Chris Wray is not on the communique here.
It goes out to agencies.
We don't know if Chris Wray knew, but people inside the FBI absolutely knew and would have known.
That the testimony Chris Ray was giving was inaccurate based on what they had just gotten from this Chinese source?
So, you know, I assume now with Kash Patel in there, they're going to go after these things and try to figure that out.
You know, again, these people have no honor or shame.
I'm sure they'll lie through the teeth just to cover themselves up.
If this would have been, you know, any kind of country helping Trump the entire agency of anyone that was in, you know, in the chain of command or.
But, you know, I'm sure that'll be different anyway.
Well, listen, I think this is a moment where we might get a little bit of accountability.
I don't think there's going to be nearly as much because the deep state's good at protecting itself.
But there are going to be some arrests down the road.
I think in the COVID cover-up particularly, we're going to see some people who are arrested in the COVID cover-up in the next few months, I think, is possible.
The first thing is to find out.
Did China actually influence the election?
That would be an act of war.
It would be an act of intrusion on the American people.
Getting that answer now, it's not too late.
Signal intelligence can be reviewed.
NSA intercepts can be reviewed.
The licenses that CPB got, fingerprints and see who actually may have used them.
It's why we need in-person voting with real IDs.
Backgrounds, checks, you know, it's why, you know, of course, I mean, I sort of said it in my intro, I'm not sure if you heard that, but in my intro I said, you know, it was sort of amazing watching, you know, November 6th, 7th, and 8th of last year after my father won in this landslide, and all these Democrats are on TV saying, huh?
Where did those 8 million votes go?
Like, where were the 82 million people that showed up for Joe Biden?
Why didn't they show up for, like, and I was like, because even they were coming to the conclusion, like, hey, maybe we did steal this thing.
You know, I guess they're okay with it as long as they get what they want.
Once those same, you know, 8 million people magically disappeared, and it's not like, you know, they shouldn't have gone anywhere theoretically.
Same ridiculous policies.
Whoever was running the auto pen would have been running Kamala Harris.
You know, nothing would have changed.
So where'd they go?
Well, listen, this is the most scary thing.
If you're a Republican Democrat, Secretary of State, Election Commissioner, County Commissioner, China saw our mail-in voting system as a extreme vulnerable option to go attack America.
That's one thing that you can draw from these documents.
They saw how easy it would be to change the outcome or attempt to change the outcome of an election by using mail-in ballots, not machines, not other things.
They saw the weakness in the system right in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic.
That should alarm us all.
Anyone in a position of authority in the election should read this document.
I'm going to just read one paragraph.
Read all of the paragraphs that are relevant.
It's the first time I'm seeing the text of this.
This is breaking news, guys, so I think it's important.
I think this is the kind of stuff we've got to make sure that other people share because the mainstream media will pretend this thing never happened.
They'll sweep it under the rug.
No one knew.
Oh, yeah, usual BS.
So, yeah.
The report says that this source was a collaborative source.
It had been in the system for less than a year.
He obtained the information from an identified subsource who claimed they obtained the information directly from communist government officials inside China.
In late August 2020, the Chinese government had produced a large amount of fraudulent United States driver's licenses that were secretly exported to the United States.
The fraudulent driver's licenses would allow tens Of thousands.
There's your answer.
more than 20,000, tens of thousands of Chinese students and immigrants sympathetic to the Chinese Communist Party to vote for US presidential candidate, Joe Biden, despite, let me get here, Despite not being able to vote in the United States, China had collected private U.S. user ID from millions of TikTok accounts to include name, ID, and address, which would allow the Chinese government to use real U.S. persons' information to create the fraudulent driver's licenses.
The fraudulent driver's licenses were to include true ID numbers and true addresses of U.S. citizens, making them difficult to detect.
That's what came into the FBI.
Yeah, and that's because China's been stealing all that data from Americans forever, so they probably have a perfectly good database of people who were probably going to be no-shows but had real ID.
Change the name, change the photo.
That's right.
There you go.
You can go buy your election in the United States.
That's wild.
Pretty amazing.
It's wild.
No, I mean, it's a, you know, listen, when you're on our side, everyone with a brain said, hey, like, of course, like, you know, the mail-in ballots are the most easy to manipulate.
And then we got the, no, no, no, it was the most safe and secure.
I'm like, how do you know?
You've never even tested this.
There's no backup.
There's no way to ensure that.
And, you know, arguably our biggest geopolitical foe, our biggest adversary on that front, literally saw that.
And in a couple of months realized what was going to happen and were able to enact and take action to try to manipulate an election.
I mean, it sort of takes any time.
It does.
Listen, if China saw it as a vulnerability, it was a vulnerability.
They are patient.
They're persistent.
They are incredibly hostile to America.
They're looking for anything to break our democracy and our constitutional republic down.
And they saw mail-in ballots as that backdoor.
That's what makes this intelligence report so really significant.
Now, I want to go back to that famous moment, like perfect election, no foreign intrusions.
A lot of people didn't see this because it happened a year later.
The night before Thanksgiving 2021, so a year after the election, federal prosecutors indicted two Iranian nationals for hacking into a voter database, stealing the identities of thousands of American voters, and then using it in a malign operation to influence the outcome of the election.
That's so significant because prosecutors now laid it out in an indictment.
I think one of the men has now even pleaded guilty.
Why is that important?
Because at the moment, That 60 Minutes piece was aired, and they said it was a perfect election, no foreign intrusions.
Everybody in the chain of command knew that that was a false statement.
So they went on 60 Minutes, made a false statement, but the FBI already had this case baked.
They had a sealed indictment.
They didn't unseal it to a year later when Joe Biden's well into his presidency.
We knew, even before the China plot, let's even suppose the China plot wasn't on the table, there was already another.
Foreign intrusion into our system, and it's Iran, the very people now that Israel is attacking and trying to end their nuclear ambitions.
This is really important to understand how much the deep state—they can look in the camera, put on a little bit of makeup, and tell you something, and it's just completely false.
Well, I mean, the number one thing is, I mean, I think, you know, we need some accountability on that.
You know, they're always fine fessing up to these things once they get the result that they want.
You know, then they, oh, my bad, you know, mea culpa, I had no idea.
You know, they did the same with Wuhan and they did the same thing with China.
Like, you know, I remember, you know, when I got canceled one of the first times, you know, about COVID, where I was like, of course it came from the virus, from the Wuhan lab.
Like, of course it did.
And, you know, how do you know, Don, you're not a virologist.
I'm like, you don't need to be a virologist.
You just have to not be retarded to understand.
No, like, yeah, listen, apparently it's back.
So, you know, I was one of the guys bringing it back.
So we're bringing it back.
But to understand, like, of course it came from the lab that studies the exact virus at the place that was exactly ground zero.
Of course, we were illegally funding, and Anthony Fauci then lied about and had to get pardoned for that.
This stuff is so...
infuriating.
And, you know, so, you know, for people who are perhaps tuning in a little bit late, you know, literally there's been a plot discovered where China was basically exporting fake U.S. driver's licenses to Chinese students and other Chinese national sympathetic to their cause all over the United States as part of a plot to create voter identities for Chinese residents living in the United States so they could vote with fake mail-in ballots.
And for Joe Biden specifically.
Yeah, and specifically for Joe Biden, obviously.
I have a feeling the Chinese Communist Party ain't voting for Trump.
They weren't voting for Trump.
I mean, this looks like clear data exploitation, and it's probably even worse than we thought.
Imagine, you know, you talked about China just now.
You mentioned another confirmed plot about Iran doing that with databases.
You know, what don't we know about?
You know, what got through that we're just not even aware of?
To me, like I said, if they got tens of thousands, I mean, the entire election was decided with 45,000 votes.
That's right.
It could have swung the other way.
Now, I'm glad it actually went this way, as brutal as that was for me, our family, the testimony, the endless BS.
Now we actually have a cabinet in there who will fight.
We have people who are on the America First mission.
So I think we can be much more effective, and I think the world had to see just how fragile our entire democracy and system is.
And, you know, they bore witness to that under Joe Biden.
So I guess it's probably working out in the end.
But this is scary stuff.
But China saw what everyone with a brain knew.
We created the largest vulnerability to our democracy with this nonsense mail-in balloting stuff.
And they exploited it ASAP.
Yeah.
Listen, Jimmy Carter and James Baker all the way back in 2005 warned that mail-in ballots could become an extraordinary vulnerability.
Fifteen years later, China's trying to exploit that vulnerability.
And we're in 2025.
We've made some progress.
There's some things, but it's still a vulnerability, particularly in states like California and New York that hand out ballots like they were candy at a Halloween party.
We have to get a grip on the system because our enemies are going to continue to try to exploit it until we tighten it up.
Yeah, and again, for those just tuning in, just to confirm, U.S. Customs and Border Protection had intercepted nearly 20,000 fake licenses around the same time that all of this intelligence came in.
And that seems like about as solid of a corroboration of the initial report as we can imagine, right?
One just sounds like, oh, here's the evidence.
Like, it was going on.
That's just what they found, how much more could be out there.
And Kash Patel said last night that that report in and of itself should have triggered a criminal investigation.
Who's sending fake driver's licenses?
The FBI didn't even open up a criminal investigation when Customs Border Patrol alerted of that.
So first, they know the intel is coming in.
They sweep that under the rug.
So what did they do?
How do they do that as a process?
It comes in.
I mean, there's no one that will say, hey, man, this is a real problem.
We have to do something about it.
How do they do that?
I mean, that feels like that has to go all the way up to the top.
I just don't believe that Christopher Wray didn't find out about this and have any knowledge whatsoever that these guys were doing this to protect the CCP.
I've been scratching at this, and the normal way would be after CPB made the intercept, they would alert the FBI and say, hey, let's open a criminal case on this.
It's called an electronic communication.
But it's clear to me that CPB didn't think the FBI was doing the job right, because you know what they did?
They actually put out an announcement in San Diego saying they had intercepted these.
I actually found the announcement now.
So CPB was trying to shame the FBI into acting when they clearly had swept it under the rug.
It's pretty eye-opening.
Yeah, and I'm sure at the time, social media was covering it and censoring it and whatever.
Like I said, I kind of do this at this point.
This is what I do every day, and I didn't even know about that.
So that's how effective the censors can be.
It's why we ask everyone to like, to share, to subscribe, so that we can actually get this stuff out there, force them to cover it, make it a big enough story that you almost shame them into doing their jobs because they won't do it otherwise.
Yeah.
You're exactly right.
Go ahead.
Media, big tech, big bureaucracy, we're all together, in this case, protecting big communism in China.
Yeah, I mean, you've discovered a lot of these, John, and it seems like, wow, it's amazing.
The percentage of big stories like this that you and two or three other individuals seem to be the only ones that ever come up with is both shocking and also very telling in terms of the mindset of the mainstream media.
Yeah, you're right.
Listen, it's a wide open field for me.
People say, oh, you must be a genius.
No one wants to cover this.
They're too afraid to go tell.
No one's curious anymore.
No, they're curious.
If it was a political cruddle against their enemies, if it was something against Trump, they would chase this down to the ends of the earth.
Breaking news.
Because it's protecting Joe Biden, the Democrat regime, the Chinese Communist Party that they're sympathetic to.
You know, no big deal.
Whatever.
I agree.
Yeah, listen, it's a problem.
Americans are wise to it.
That's why they elected your dad in November.
They're wise to it.
But fixing it for the long-term good of this country is still a really big challenge for all of us.
That's why things like Truth Social are so important.
All the alternatives that are popping up now, we're starting to create an irrelevance to the legacy media and a relevance to the new media.
And all the things your dad has done in the White House press room to give access to new reporters, that competition is starting to have a very big effect in the American marketplace.
Yeah, I agree.
So John, more broadly, I believe there was another one discovered a week later.
It was something actually probably perhaps worse.
I don't know how much worse it is than taking out your food supply.
Is this all part of the same mosaic with respect to the different ways China is trying to infiltrate and destroy America?
Yes, they have a 200-year plan, and they stick to it relentlessly.
And they always admire the opportunity to take American tax dollars and use it against us.
So in this case, those two first scientists who were bringing in that fungus, which was a pathogen that could have been unleashed, could eventually wipe out American crops, create a famine in America, they were on an NIH grant program.
They were here on NIH visa.
Our federal government, without vetting these people, We're not letting them in.
They're paying them.
They're paying for the research.
And then they're using that access, that goodwill that we've given China to come in and develop things that could then be weaponized against us in the future.
We are funding our own demise through the extraordinary weakness and blindness of our bureaucracy.
And I'll tell you, for the last four or five days, Don, I've been trying to do just something simple as a reporter.
Ask every federal agency, how many visas have you given to scientists in China?
It should be a simple thing.
Someone should be able to find it in five minutes.
Unless the number is really big that it would be troubling to a lot of Americans, in which case, oh, we're not really sure.
We'll get to that after midterms or four years from now or whatever it is.
Yeah.
And you know they're not vetting them.
They're just waving them in, just like they waved them across the border.
And we are literally setting up, if it isn't for your dad's administration who's out there creating the counterbalance and the counterweight and the countermeasures to this.
We are literally riding our own check to our own demise.
We have to stop it.
We have to wake up and get these folks who don't have our best intentions to have our demise as their goal.
Get them out of our country.
Stop funding them.
It's insane.
It's one thing falling for the Trojan horse.
It's another one building your own and staffing it with your enemies and pretending like it's real.
I mean, no civilization could survive this level of stupidity.
It's really hard to believe.
It is hard to believe, but it's gone on, and it's that alliance between the big bureaucracy, the big media, the big tech, and the big left that has created this, and China knows it.
You look at the people on the streets in LA, all the work we did to track their funding, where does it go back to?
CCP and CCP sympathetic assets.
China has exploited every weakness, blindness, and stupidity we've exercised under the Biden administration to, hopefully, in their mind.
Push us to our demise.
We have to counter it quickly and faster and smarter than we've done in a long time.
Yeah, I mean, I guess going back to sort of the University of Michigan, the agro-terrorist example isn't even just at the University of Michigan.
In the summer of 2023, National Guard soldiers discovered five Chinese University of Michigan students near a military base, and they were letter charged for concealing their activities.
In fact, the University of Michigan, other colleges, and even major corporations have a joint research program with Shanghai Jatong University, which is where these students all came from.
The obvious question, I guess, John, is why?
Yeah, listen, they are using every opportunity they can to come up with every potential weapon to, if we ever got into a kinetic or non-conventional war with China, to have the upper hand, unleash a virus, unleash a famine, unleash genetically altered seeds that would change our production yields.
A decade ago, and it's interesting, all these episodes have occurred just before or after the Democratic administration.
Joe Biden, Obama.
A decade ago in Iowa, genetically altered seeds that had really serious implications for our farming communities were discovered on Chinese nationals in Iowa, I believe it was.
It keeps happening, usually when Democrats turn a blind eye to China.
Remember, very early on in the Joe Biden presidency, the FBI director was ordered by the president to stand down the China initiative, which was the FBI's premier counterintelligence.
By the way, the very thing that this memo was probably flowing from, stop Chinese spies in academia.
Joe Biden cut that off.
Why would you turn American eyes blind to what China was doing?
And you saw that.
I mean, you read the reports, you know, about, you know, the islands that China, you know, the coral reef that China turned into islands to create military bases all over the South China Sea.
Like, they weren't allowed to do that, but they saw Obama as weak and feckless and said they just did it.
Now they control the shipping ports.
Now they have extra military bases.
That's a disaster.
The tariffs that my father had in place on his first term.
China recently even said, yeah, we knew they were there, but we knew Joe Biden wouldn't enforce it, so we just ignored it and went about our business.
They understand that Democrat leadership is either weak, sympathetic, on the take, all of the above, and even if you have these laws in place, they're just going to ignore them.
Yeah, no, that's exactly right.
Peace through appeasement has never worked.
Jimmy Carter, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden have proven it.
Peace through strength is working.
We saw it work during the Reagan era in the fall of the Soviet Union.
We see it working under your Father.
Now, the world is substantially And I think your father will leave a far more peaceful and stable world behind than the one he got on the 20th.
I agree with that.
I mean, obviously tumultuous times right now, it's a complex thing.
I think everyone's probably going to just...
I don't think anyone in America wants a boots-on-the-ground war.
I think people largely agree that Iran probably shouldn't have unchecked nuclear weapons.
I mean, that doesn't seem like it's a great leap.
But I think I sort of see, even on our side, sort of two polarized factions.
And I think the left would gladly go to war in Iran if it breaks up a MAGA coalition, which is sort of a scary concept.
But definitely something they would do.
To try to screw things up because, you know, they just don't care.
They only care about power here.
But, John, I do want to ask you, you know, talk about just what a change in leadership at the FBI can do under Kash Patel, under, you know, Deputy Director, you know, Dan Bongina.
How do you assess it and what else might we learn in the coming weeks and months?
I think we're going to learn a lot more about the weaponization of Jack Smith.
I think there's a grand jury in Florida investigating The misbehavior of the Justice Department in the pursuit of your father.
We know recently that there was a declaration of a government investigation in the Colorado investigation of Tina Peters.
So I think we're going to learn that there are other tentacles of this weaponization machine that now are under criminal investigation, under Pam Bondi, under Kash Patel, under Dan Bongino, under the new weaponization department at the Justice Department.
It is far more reaching than I knew when I started on the very first stories debunking Russia collusion.
There are so many tentacles to it.
And I think some of the ones that maybe we haven't heard about are going to create the surprise fresh criminal cases.
Some of the statute of limitations are passed on Russia collusion.
Everyone got a pass on Russia collusion.
But some of those actors return because they didn't face any consequence.
They started another weaponization.
And I think this group now has the ability.
To bring to justice several people who abused the system in ways that our founding fathers would never have condoned for a second.
I think you'll see some accountability.
You'll see some arrests.
You'll see lots of shaming.
More than 100,000 pages of documents have been turned up by the FBI and turned over either to Congress or to Pam Bondi.
They're going to get released.
This is going to be the summer of heat.
There's going to be a lot of major revelations in these documents.
The FBI found them months ago.
They've already produced them.
Justice and Congress are in the process of making them public to the American people.
We're going to get a sense of the size and scope of the network that weaponized the United States government against its people.
John, you know, before we wrap, what can you tell us about this sentinel system inside the FBI where the Mueller team was apparently, you know, just making documents unsearchable so that an agent was pursuing something that led to their dead end.
There's nothing here, but it's clearly out there.
It has been known for years, two decades, that there was a drive that the most sensitive stuff in the country could be buried on.
And what sensitive meant was.
Politically, we just don't want this discovered.
This would embarrass the bureau.
It goes all the way back.
Listen, I found documents.
As a young reporter at the Associated Press, I caused a delay in the execution of Timothy McVeigh, not because he was a good guy, he was a bad guy, but the FBI had hid Tens of thousands of pages of documents in Discovery that were really important to not only the defense, but to the American public.
It's been going on for 20 or 30 years.
Everybody in the FBI knew what they were doing when they buried those documents.
Ash Patel has sent all those over to the Justice Department.
They're currently being reviewed to make sure they're not responsive to subpoenas, because the first thing you want to do is comply, not violate the law of subpoenas, and then they're going to be made to the public.
This summer is going to be a fascinating summer.
We're going to learn things we could only have imagined existed two years ago, and that process is underway.
I know there's frustration.
Why can't it be faster?
There are laws that still have to be complied with, but I think these documents are coming out in troves.
This stat that I just read to you, one of the many examples of what's likely ahead in the future.
Well, John, I really appreciate it.
Guys, John Solomon, make sure you check him out on social media.
Where else can they find you, John?
Because you're one of the guys doing human work on this stuff.
Jay Solomon reports on all social media.
On True Social, that's where I get a lot of my traffic these days.
Very nice.
Well, I appreciate you being out there and doing all of this.
It's so important that we figure out exactly what's going on in our country.
So thanks a lot, guys.
And I'm sure as these other things break, you're going to be the guy.
So we look forward to having you back on, John.
Thank you.
Good to be on, my friend.
Thanks.
Guys, thanks so much for tuning in.
Remember to like, to share, to subscribe, turn on notifications.
I think that's a really big story about the CCP trying to infiltrate and change the results of a United States election.
You know, all the things they said that Russia were doing that they weren't doing?
Well, maybe China was doing it, but as long as it's for the Democrats, remember guys.
You have an FBI director, former, that seems to have perjured himself under oath and then tried to cover up.
So a lot going on here.
Make sure this gets out.
Make sure we force the mainstream media to actually cover this insanity so we can save our republic.
