John Solomon Reports

Former Texas Congressman Louie Gohmert details the significant changes already underway in the first week of the second Trump administration, particularly concerning border security. Gohmert shares his observations from Texas, noting an increase in assets at the border and a renewed sense of encouragement among Border Patrol agents.

The discussion highlights the impact of Trump's leadership style, which contrasts sharply with previous administrations. Gohmert emphasizes the importance of clarity in political language, especially regarding immigration. He points out the shift from terms like "illegal aliens" to "undocumented workers" and stresses that returning to straightforward language is crucial for addressing the real issues at hand.

Also, freshman Congressman Jeff Crank of Colorado shares his perspective on the current state of Congress and the challenges ahead. Crank also discusses how Trump's executive orders on immigration are affecting people in his state. Crank emphasizes the importance of enforcing immigration laws and expresses his commitment to supporting military personnel affected by previous mandates.

Finally, Paul Kamenar from the National Legal and Policy Center discusses the legality of Trump's executive order aimed at ending birthright citizenship. This issue has sparked a whirlwind of lawsuits from various states and organizations, including the ACLU, challenging the constitutionality of such an action. Kamenar explains that the 14th Amendment grants citizenship to anyone born or naturalized in the United States, but Trump's order attempts to redefine who is considered 'subject to the jurisdiction' of the U.S. This has raised questions about the status of children born to undocumented immigrants and the concept of 'anchor babies.'

John Solomon delves into the intricate world of political finance with Chairman James Comer of the House Oversight Committee. His new book, All the President's Money, has quickly climbed to the top of the New York Times bestseller list, and for good reason. Comer meticulously investigates the financial dealings of the Biden family, exposing a web of influence peddling that has far-reaching implications for American politics.

Comer’s insights shed light on the mechanisms that allowed the Bidens to allegedly profit from their positions of power. He discusses how funds were funneled through shell companies and the various LLCs involved, painting a picture of a family deeply entrenched in corruption. The episode highlights Comer's frustration with mainstream media's portrayal of the investigation, which he believes has downplayed the severity of the findings.

Later, John is joined by Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis from New York to discuss a pressing issue that impacts both our wallets and our conscience: the $20 billion a year spent on animal research funded by taxpayer dollars. This shocking figure represents not only a substantial financial burden but also a moral dilemma as many of these experiments are cruel and unnecessary.

Congresswoman Malliotakis highlights the alarming reality that hundreds of thousands of animals, including cats, dogs, and monkeys, are subjected to inhumane testing in federal labs. These experiments often yield little to no benefit for public health, raising the question of why we continue to fund such practices. In fact, some of these experiments are conducted overseas in countries with subpar safety conditions, which could potentially lead to public health crises.

Finally, it's AMAC Friday, when John is joined by AMAC's Bobby Charles, revealing the parallels between Trump and Reagan, the implications of foreign policy decisions, and how Trump's approach is reshaping the political landscape.
