John Solomon Reports

House Judiciary Committee member Lance Gooden gives his takeaways from Special Counsel John Durham’s testimony before the committee earlier this week. The Texas Congressman says that Durham’s testimony left him with the impression that the “the FBI is really in a sad state. There is in fact, a two tiered justice system. And the FBI has a lot of rot that has not been fully taken out, and [Congress has] got a lot of work to do.” Gooden says, the FBI has repeatedly said that they have implemented reforms, commenting that he doesn’t believe that, and “the American people don't believe that.” Saying, “and what a sad statement on a once respected institution, that being the FBI. The American people have lost faith. There was in fact, no collusion, no coordination, no Russian involvement with the Trump campaign. And the the, the just constant lies that we've seen from the other side, in the effort to take down President Trump before he even took office. For it to finally come out many years later, is I think redeeming but also very sad. I am just so disappointed. And in what I saw this week, and what Mr. Durham has been working on, I'm actually also very frustrated that it took this long to come out. But nonetheless, it did. And here we are in 2023, talking about something that happened back in 2016 but it's where we are.” Gooden says, Congress will use its power of the purse, to impose change on a seemingly unwilling FBI, since the appropriations process is “number one tool at” their disposal. Gooden says, this was shown “in the debt limit fight a few weeks ago, we got some concessions from Joe Biden, through that process, and the appropriations is really the only tool that the the party has when they only control one level of government.” Saying the GOP will also look to “the FISA court device authorization is also set to expire this year. So that's going to come up and there'll be a fight in the House over that as well, I don't think you'll see a clean reauthorization that we've seen in years past, there's going to need to be some serious reforms put into place before before that happens.”

John Solomon breaks down bombshell revelations today by IRS Whistleblower Gary Shapely in testimony before the House Ways and Means Committee, that federal prosecutors twice blocked search warrants seeking evidence from Hunter Biden, including one for a storage locker with corporate documents and another for Joe Biden's Delaware residence where Hunter Biden was living, even though agents had met the standards for probable cause. Victoria Toensing, a former Deputy Assistant Attorney General in the Criminal Division of the U.S. Justice Department, discusses the revelations and how a two-tiered justice system culture developed not only within the Department of Justice, but other federal agencies like the IRS.

Arizona Congressman Eli Crane calls out ‘country club Republicans’ and discusses shaking up the status quo in Congress. The Freedom Caucus member says the recent forced vote for censuring Congressman Adam Schiff which 20 Republican voted against, was an opportunity for Americans to see the truth and not continue to be ‘gas-lighted’ by their Representatives. Crane says to his fellow Republican colleagues in Congress that, ‘at some point, you guys are gonna have to join us and start hitting back. Because right now, only one side is throwing blows, is taking shots. And that's one of the reasons the we're headed in the trajectory that we're in. The days of country club Republicans just managing the decline of this country, you see where it's gotten us, and it's nowhere good.” Crane also says the problem with D.C. is “not that we don't have enough people that went to law school, or they don't have high enough IQs. It's that we don't have enough people up here that actually have moral courage and backbone, and who are willing to stand in the gap and say; No, you're not doing that anymore. We're not going to allow it anymore. And as a matter of fact, we're going to fight back, and we're going to take shots right back at you, but in my opinion, that's the only way out of this is if the Republican Party learns how to fight again.”

Xi Van Fleet discusses her childhood growing up in Mao’s Cultural Revolution in China and the scary parallels she sees happening in the United States. She says that President Biden’s recent speech calling America’s children’s “everyone's children,” is similar to the Mao’s approach to children in China which were seen first as the ”governments’ children,” over the “biological parents.” Saying “Chairman Mao, he was the father for all Chinese children, so our loyalty should go to the party and Chairman Mao first. That means if you'll find your parents, say things or do things that is not in line with the party, you'll report them.”

Scott Rasmussen, President of RMG Research, discusses the true intent of early polling and how “people in the political world” misread the average American, and the Nixon-Trump paradox, that after Watergate, President Richard Nixon who saw his approval rating tumbled to record lows. By the time he resigned from office with the exact opposite is happening with President Donald Trump. Rasmussen says that he attributes this to technology, that most people don’t “realize how much the world has changed. Back in the late 60s, there were some discussions of the survey research was done asking people how they first heard about Pearl Harbor. And at that time, a lot of people said no, they remember watching it on TV. But the reality is, TV wasn't around when Pearl Harbor happened. People just gotten so used to the new world. That's the way they responded. And we tend to think of what happened that earlier times is just like now with the social media, you know, all the different outlets, that wasn't the case in the Nixon era.”
