1:37

America and happy

1:39

Saturday. We've

1:44

got a really great show for you today. I'm very

1:46

proud of what we've done this

1:49

week. A lot of important interviews with people

1:51

on the front lines of oversight in Congress.

1:54

Today, another really good lineup

1:56

for you. We're gonna kick Saturday

1:58

off with. James Comer,

2:01

the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, he

2:03

is on top of everything from weaponization

2:06

of government to impeachment to

2:08

now a big role

2:10

in reviewing what these universities are doing

2:13

or failing to do and what NGOs

2:16

and foreign governments may be paying

2:18

to encourage or

2:21

foment the violence, unrest, hatred

2:23

and protests on college campuses.

2:25

James Comer has a lot

2:27

to say about that. He

2:29

visited George Washington University this week. Right in

2:31

the middle of the protest, he confronted some

2:34

of the protesters, challenging them

2:36

on their ignorance, challenging them on their

2:38

hatred, challenging them for their

2:40

efforts to create a hostile environment for Jewish

2:43

students. It was a really dramatic moment capture

2:45

on video. Our reporters were there for it.

2:47

James Comer sat down with Amanda and I.

2:49

We had a great conversation, including what

2:52

could be next in the congressional

2:56

efforts to rein in universities, to

2:58

perhaps pull the tax exempt status

3:01

of groups that are encouraging this

3:03

violence to perhaps prohibit or slow

3:05

or better highlight foreign donations

3:07

that come from hostile foreign powers to

3:10

universities or to groups hoping

3:13

to create a less

3:15

hospitable environment for Jewish students or

3:17

American students, for that matter. A

3:20

great conversation with James Comer. In

3:22

the second block, Devin Nunes, former

3:25

House Intelligence Committee chairman, currently the

3:27

president of President Trump's, former

3:29

president of Trump's new social

3:31

media company, Truth, excuse

3:34

me, Trump Media and Technology Group.

3:36

It runs the Truth social platform

3:38

that millions of Americans now use.

3:41

He's going to talk about some concerns

3:43

he raised with Congress this week that

3:45

there may be some people on the

3:48

stock market trying to manipulate the value

3:50

of Trump's stock to drive it down

3:52

for another

3:54

potential form of political warfare in this

3:56

2024 election. Devin

3:59

Nunes is going to describe. what has him

4:01

worried and what he told Congress he was able

4:03

to show with his own investigative

4:06

work. Yet he put his investigative

4:08

cap back on, very important revelations

4:10

he found. And then in the

4:12

third block, we'll talk to the

4:14

head of the Super PAC supporting

4:16

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Tony Lyons.

4:18

He has been digging into the

4:20

poll numbers. It

4:22

looks as though right now that

4:24

R. F. K. Jr.'s candidacy

4:28

is disproportionately hurting Joe Biden. There

4:30

is a panic alarm on a

4:32

lot of the Democrats right now about R. F. K.

4:35

Tony Lyons is gonna describe what's going on and

4:38

also some dynamics he's seeing in

4:40

the formation of a coalition. There are a lot of polls

4:42

that have R. F. K. as high as 20, most

4:44

of them in the 13 to 16% range. Tony

4:48

Lyons is gonna tell us where R. F. K.

4:51

is pulling support from. Where is it coming from?

4:54

And why is Joe Biden so worried about it? Obviously

4:57

Donald Trump has taken some shots at R. F. K. Tried

4:59

to portray him as a leftist.

5:02

But Tony Lyons is seeing a lot of data.

5:04

I think it'd be interesting to just hear why

5:06

the R. F. K. team feels

5:09

a little bit excited

5:11

about what the summer and fall may

5:13

handle for them. That's a great, great

5:15

lineup for us today. I wanna

5:17

just put this on your front line

5:19

as we speak today. And in

5:21

fact, you'll hear Jonathan Rose

5:23

from Genesis Gold Group on

5:25

the podcast next week. There

5:27

are some very serious

5:30

concerns about the solvency

5:32

of a growing number of banks.

5:35

As you know, just a couple of weeks ago, a

5:38

state regulator closed down Republic

5:40

First Bank because it was in a bad

5:42

shape and then the F. D. I. scene took it

5:45

over. This is a bank that was

5:47

in Philadelphia. It was the first

5:49

bank failure in a while, but

5:51

there's a bigger warning sign. A

5:53

very respected financial group on Wall

5:56

Street Raising some serious concerns. It's the

5:59

Claro's group. Very well respected. They

6:01

did a look at balance sheets

6:03

and they found a lot of

6:05

concerns as the last quarter of

6:07

Twenty Twenty Three Balance Sheets where

6:09

people are saying well may sound

6:11

of sounds. As if it's

6:13

Two Hundred Eighty Two Bank said they

6:15

were fighting for possible risks so failure

6:18

wise is going on right? A lot

6:20

of these things are below their insert

6:22

deposit limits. been in a fab, not

6:24

enough to us and the covers. They're

6:26

insured deposits and these banks are getting

6:28

further trench because getting new money costs

6:30

more money when interest rates raps and

6:32

banks have to pay marks for fresh

6:35

spawns and I think a lot of

6:37

people really worried about that suffers give

6:39

looked it's four thousand Us banks and

6:41

found Two Hundred Eighty Two. Those are

6:43

sale adil fact is also a concern

6:45

of commercial real estate loans are starting

6:47

to fail. the commercial real estate industry

6:49

posts pandemics not surprising ah and then

6:51

of course I as in our interest

6:54

rates may be ability the banks to

6:56

get money it's costs more it's more

6:58

expensive for baked to borrow money just

7:00

like is more expensive for all of

7:02

us. In addition because house prices are

7:04

so i lot more people aren't buying

7:06

homes right now has over the concerned

7:08

about our interest rates and in in

7:10

house prices making the decision to buy.

7:12

A house harder and more rooms

7:15

that as a dynamic I actually

7:17

talked about by mammoth for in

7:19

the middle of the election year

7:21

ah we seem economic growth slowed

7:23

significantly with a new indicators consumer

7:25

confidence big drop or we wrote

7:27

about that this week by keep

7:29

an eye on bank failures this

7:31

is a very very difficult moment

7:33

ft I seems ah the sad

7:35

10:46

we loved Abby Sir Are you decided right

10:48

to go into the heart of the belly?

10:50

The Be sits in front of those protests.

10:53

As a George Washington University we add reporter,

10:55

there's really a remarkable moments. Tell us what

10:57

you witness when you confronted those protestors. Well.

11:02

I was shocked. First of all are

11:04

they were either a lot of. Non

11:06

traditional students are they were much older than

11:08

I have a solid. Aren't

11:11

even a college or the President of

11:13

the university? Also estimated that

11:16

eighty percent. Of

11:18

the protesters were not students at George

11:20

Washington University. she said they could have

11:23

been students at other universities and certainly

11:25

some of a bar bother their appearance

11:27

appeared it's adeptly be well beyond the

11:30

age of a of a college student

11:32

who the process. But I was

11:34

shocked this up. As the things

11:36

they were saying we saw. Lots.

11:40

Of Palestine. Flags

11:42

Lot The Palestinian. Clothing

11:46

or you add, Different

11:49

chest won't say says this

11:52

is real. i mean it

11:54

was it was thought that you would never believe

11:56

would be the as i said i guess the

11:58

most troubling think god is no people aren't

12:00

supposed to be there. It is against the

12:02

law to trespass. And

12:04

you had those people setting up

12:06

encampments on that university.

12:09

And you know, most university police, law enforcement

12:11

agencies, they don't even carry guns. They're not

12:14

equipped for riots and things

12:16

like that. They've requested

12:18

help from Washington, DC. And

12:20

Washington, DC, obviously, is a

12:22

blue run city. And we know

12:24

that anti-Semitic wing is taking over the

12:26

Democrat Party. They don't want to do anything

12:28

to offend the anti-Semitic

12:32

wing of the Democrat Party. Therefore, George

12:34

Washington is on its own. Wow.

12:37

Mary. Well, considering

12:39

their ignorance on the history of that region,

12:41

maybe they all just got held back a

12:44

lot. And that's why they're so old. I

12:46

wanted to ask you about the commitment to

12:48

follow the money. I mean, there seems to

12:50

be a number, at least two, dark money

12:53

groups behind these protesters, the ones who obviously

12:55

aren't students there. If you were able to

12:57

track that money trail back to individual organizations

12:59

or individuals, how do you push

13:01

back on that? What should be the punishment? Well,

13:05

we're going to follow the money in the

13:07

same way that we've been investigating the Biden

13:09

family. We're going to try to identify the

13:11

groups to figure out where their banks are.

13:14

We've had great success in subpoenaing private sector

13:16

banks. Most banks that we've

13:18

dealt with want to cooperate with us when

13:20

they see criminal activity. And I don't think

13:22

any bank would support

13:25

the dark money

13:27

groups that are funding this type

13:29

of hate. I mean, George Washington

13:31

University has over 20% of their

13:34

student body population is Jewish. These

13:37

Jewish students obviously feel

13:39

unsafe. And this

13:41

is not something that we should see on

13:44

any campus in America, but we know this

13:46

isn't a generic movement. We know that this

13:49

is well organized, that there are

13:51

groups behind the scenes that are paying for the

13:53

tent. They're paying for a lot

13:55

of the

13:57

material, the propaganda material that they're

14:00

handing out, they're providing food.

14:02

We want to know who's behind this

14:04

and then we want to hold them

14:06

accountable because they're involved in trespassing at

14:08

the very least. There's

14:11

probably a lot more crimes than that. Yeah.

14:14

Sir, Josh Burkini, congressman from Oklahoma is

14:16

on my podcast and he said there's

14:18

a growing number of lawmakers that want

14:20

to start to pull back funding from

14:22

universities and nonprofits that are at the

14:24

heart of these protests. Do you think

14:27

that's likely to happen soon? Well, I

14:29

hope so. And you know, John, I was

14:31

very disappointed in the House Republican

14:33

appropriation committee that we didn't hold

14:35

anyone accountable last year. You

14:38

have all these government agencies that

14:40

are abusing the trust of the

14:42

American taxpayers. They're skirting oversight. They're

14:44

not transparent. But for whatever reason,

14:46

we have Republicans that caved in

14:49

on it. This is something that

14:51

appears there's overwhelming support. These universities

14:53

get a lot of money where

14:55

most of these protests are occurring

14:58

across the United States are big

15:00

universities that have huge federal budgets

15:02

in their research and development budgets

15:05

and other areas of their of their overall

15:08

budget on campus. They need to be

15:10

held accountable. They need to be

15:12

held accountable if they don't suspend these students

15:15

and and do

15:17

everything in their ability to

15:19

put an end to this

15:21

hostility towards Jewish students. So hopefully we'll

15:24

be able to do that. John, you know, I support

15:26

it. But I think that

15:28

the American people are pretty outraged about this

15:30

and they expect the Republicans in Congress to

15:32

respond in time with the power of

15:34

the purse. Great point. Mr.

15:37

Chairman, I want to ask you about that hearing

15:39

yesterday held by the select subcommittee on COVID with

15:42

Dr. Peter Doshak, the president of EcoHealth Alliance.

15:44

You had a line of questioning with him

15:47

where you were asking him if he had

15:49

a standing relationship with the intelligence community or

15:51

had ever acted on the

15:53

on behalf of those committee, those that

15:56

community as an informant. He seemed to

15:58

be choosing his words. very

16:00

carefully when he was answering

16:02

maybe some obfuscation thrown in. What did you make

16:04

of that? Well,

16:07

I've suspected for a long time that

16:09

Peter Dasic may have been an informant

16:11

for the intelligence community from

16:13

what I've learned in trying to chase

16:16

these criminals, international criminals

16:18

have been funding the Biden shenanigans

16:20

for over a decade. The

16:24

informants all

16:26

fit a pattern and

16:29

what it appears at the Wuhan

16:31

lab and Dasic confirmed this yesterday,

16:33

the intelligence community was concerned about

16:35

that lab. He had communicated,

16:37

he admitted under oath that he communicated

16:40

with the intelligence community prior to

16:42

COVID. There are some that

16:44

suspect that maybe Dasic

16:46

was an American spy, an

16:49

informant that was going in

16:52

and trying to determine on behalf of the United

16:54

States what was going on in that lab. Do

16:56

you wish China making bioweaponry

16:58

or whatever? What's important about that

17:00

is that would prove the American

17:02

government knew that that lab

17:04

was up to no good. They were

17:07

doing gain of function research. Not only

17:09

that, we were funding it through American

17:11

tax dollars. Eco-health alliance never should have gotten

17:13

any American tax dollars and

17:16

then they never should have had their grants

17:18

renewed. It's so suspicious

17:21

how they were getting all this money even

17:23

when they were out of compliance in their

17:25

grants. So this goes to

17:27

all the conspiracy theories that were

17:31

shot down by the liberal mainstream

17:33

media and the Democrats and all

17:35

that that the government didn't know

17:37

anything about it. It's odd that

17:39

Peter Dasic was in communication with

17:41

the intelligence community. I was never

17:44

in communication with the intelligence communities

17:46

or anything when I was before

17:48

this Biden investigation so very few people why

17:51

was he in communication with them? Obviously

17:53

the American government knew that that lab

17:55

was up to no good and

17:57

I think Dasic knows a whole lot of stuff. more

18:00

than he would say under oath,

18:02

but he did not deny that

18:04

he was an informant of some time

18:07

for our American intelligence community. Wow.

18:09

That's the ground that we're going to have to plow to

18:11

get some more facts. Sir, I want to turn to a

18:14

unique connection between the Hamas crisis

18:16

we're all still dealing with and

18:19

the Biden family finances. New

18:21

court documents came out a few days ago. James

18:23

Biden was apparently, according to

18:25

the testimony in a bankruptcy case, doing

18:28

business with Qatar, Qatar, one of the biggest

18:30

protectors of Hamas, Qatar, one of the biggest

18:32

funders of these liberal universities in America, I

18:34

think $5 billion over the last couple of

18:37

decades, these universities, yet another country

18:39

that has sort of a checkered past. Obviously,

18:41

it's an ally at times, but how

18:43

shocking was it that Jim Biden was working

18:46

on with Qatar as well? I'm

18:49

not. We've seen evidence that

18:51

suggests his influence peddling, Jim

18:53

Biden's influence peddling, revolved around the Middle

18:55

East. And we know that

18:59

the Biden would do anything for money.

19:01

We know that they were

19:03

for sale to the highest bidder. And

19:06

you look at what happened

19:09

with policy decisions with respect to the issue,

19:11

all the money the Biden's got from China,

19:13

you and I believe, John, that

19:15

Joe Biden has an unusually

19:17

soft-on China platform.

19:20

You look at Qatar or

19:23

Qatar, however you want to pronounce it now, you speak Qatar

19:25

or that Qatar. That country

19:27

should be labeled on the terrorist watch

19:29

list, but the Biden administration refuses to

19:31

do that. So is

19:34

that because his brother was receiving money

19:37

from a Qatari government

19:39

official? These are

19:41

questions that need to be answered. We're doing

19:44

our best in this oversight investigation

19:46

with the limited tools we have in

19:48

facing all the obstruction that we have

19:50

faced. But look, this is

19:52

another example of a Biden family member getting

19:55

money from a shady person in a shady

19:57

country. And I think that

19:59

the American. people have already made their

20:01

minds up that what the Biden

20:03

family's been doing for decades with

20:05

our adversaries around the world is

20:08

wrong. And I hope within

20:10

the next few weeks to be able to start

20:12

the process of holding them accountable for this wrongdoing.

20:15

Wow. What was it? Can we ask you about

20:17

that? What will that look like? What could that

20:19

accountability possibly look like? Well,

20:21

I think there's obviously many crimes that have

20:23

been committed, many financial crimes by the

20:25

Biden family. And I think, I

20:28

think Joe Biden has

20:30

clearly demonstrated that he has violated

20:32

the law as well. He's lied to

20:35

the American people about his knowledge of

20:37

involvement with the participation in his family's

20:39

business schemes. He's not been honest. He's

20:41

still not being honest about

20:44

his knowledge of what his family was doing and

20:46

the money that Joe Biden himself put in his

20:48

pocket. So we're doing everything we

20:51

can. We've gotten a lot of documents

20:53

in from Devin Archer that I subpoenaed 3.7 million

20:55

documents, which that's

20:58

ridiculous, but trying to go

21:00

through that. We've got some phone records and

21:02

a few more documents. And, you know,

21:04

every day we find something new out, John.

21:06

If you had a real

21:11

investigative body like

21:14

the IRS or the FBI that was

21:16

focused or the Department of Justice that

21:18

was focused solely on investigating the Biden's

21:20

or special counsel and you had unlimited

21:22

resources and the

21:25

ability to not be obstructed by

21:27

anyone, there's no telling what we

21:29

would find. But we found enough and it's

21:31

pretty bad. And I think the Biden's need

21:33

to be held accountable for their wrongdoing. All

21:36

right, folks, don't go anywhere. Devin Nunes, good friend

22:59

One of my favorite guests, former Congressman Devin Nunes,

23:01

currently the CEO of the Trump and Media Technology

23:03

Group. He's got some new communications with Congress we

23:06

want to dig into. And I think he probably

23:08

has a lot to say what's been going on

23:10

on our college campuses and in our system. Congressman,

23:12

great to have you back on the show. Great

23:16

to be with you guys. So in the last

23:18

24 hours or so, a very important letter was

23:20

transmitted to several chairmen, including Jim Jordan, who was

23:22

on the show the other day. Chairman

23:25

McHenry, Chairman Smith, Chairman Comer. You're

23:28

raising the real concern that you're

23:30

seeing potential stock manipulation of the

23:33

DJT stock, your company's stock.

23:35

Tell us what you're seeing and why this communication

23:37

to Congress is so important. Well

23:39

thank you to both of you for having me. And

23:42

as you know, I'm building a great company during the

23:44

day. It's exciting to build a social media company. We're

23:46

working on streaming. All these great things that we're doing.

23:49

But John and Amanda, unfortunately it looks

23:51

like I have to run an investigation.

23:55

We continue to show up. True

23:58

Social does. DJT, the DJT. stock

24:01

on what's called the Reg Show list. And

24:03

we're not just on the Reg Show list, which is, you

24:05

know, nobody, it doesn't matter what it is, we don't have

24:07

to get into it, but it basically means that stocks

24:10

are not covering. So when somebody is shorting the

24:12

stock at the end of the day, they're not

24:15

covering. Now, we knew it was bad, but we

24:17

finally got the numbers this week. And for the

24:19

first two weeks of April, there

24:22

were 700,000 to a million shares

24:25

a day that aren't

24:27

covering. Now, John

24:29

Amanda, I think your audience knows this, markets

24:32

aren't supposed to work that way in the

24:34

United States of America. Matter of

24:36

fact, that's about 10%, roughly

24:39

of our daily volume

24:41

is not finishing, it's

24:44

not closing. It means there's

24:46

something wrong with the system

24:48

itself. So we notified Congress

24:50

last week about this, some

24:53

of our concerns about the market makers, people that

24:55

would that would ultimately be at the top of

24:57

the pyramid. Now what we've done

25:00

is we've done an investigation, we continue to investigate

25:02

and now we've identified companies that

25:04

are likely involved in some of

25:06

this, we don't know that they are for sure. But

25:09

as you know, we're not going to leave a

25:11

stone unturned. If they're screening with us, we are

25:13

going to investigate them and we will track them

25:15

down. Like I said, I can

25:17

work on building a company during

25:20

the day and I can run investigations all

25:22

night. It's not what we want

25:24

to do. But as you know, I know how to

25:26

run these investigations. Yeah, that you do. This is the

25:28

effort. Absolutely. You've done

25:30

it a few times. I wanted

25:32

to ask you about the motivation. I feel like it's

25:34

fairly obvious. I mean, I being politically

25:36

minded feel like the motivation has

25:39

to be politics, but I suppose it could

25:41

be financial. What do you anticipate is

25:43

going to be the motivation for whoever is

25:46

manipulating to actually act on that? You

25:49

know, now that I've gotten into this, it wasn't really

25:51

my cup of tea when I was in Congress. I

25:53

worked on a whole host of issues, mostly intelligence issues

25:55

and tax issues and trade issues. This

25:57

was not the financial markets weren't really my

26:00

cup of tea. But in my old life,

26:02

I used to trade commodities. I used to

26:04

have to hedge commodities for my family's business.

26:06

Now, what's interesting about

26:08

this is there's the irregularities that are

26:11

here. And I will tell you,

26:14

like now that we've begun to talk

26:16

about this, we have people that are

26:18

essentially whistleblowers that are coming forward. And

26:21

John, you'll love that. So we're getting people now

26:23

that are coming out of the woodwork that are

26:25

beginning to tell us things that I'm like, wow,

26:27

this looks like something that I should

26:29

have looked at when I was in Congress. It

26:31

appears like it's been happening for a long time,

26:33

but it's something that shouldn't

26:35

happen in this country. I mean, you shouldn't be if

26:38

you're on the if you're on this reg show list, if

26:40

there's an irregularity, you can understand if something gets a little

26:42

out of whack for one or two or three days. But

26:45

then if the system works properly, everything

26:47

should be cleaned out quickly. And

26:49

there shouldn't be any problems. So I think that bad

26:52

apples likely are targeting our company for

26:54

the obvious reasons, because we are owned

26:57

mostly by President Trump, and

26:59

we are a free speech platform. So there's a lot

27:01

of bad actors that would love to hurt us and

27:03

do damage to us so that we can't build out

27:06

this ecosystem. But I think the problem

27:08

is bigger. And maybe

27:10

they got so greedy at

27:12

targeting us that maybe, just maybe, we don't

27:14

know, but maybe we're going to expose something

27:17

that's going to be bigger than what most

27:19

of us imagined. And I

27:21

think there's probably been a lot of companies

27:23

over the last decade or so or more that

27:26

have been hurt by these same tactics. And

27:28

so, you know, look, I'm hopeful that we're

27:30

going to continue to work with our allies

27:32

in Congress. We'll build the case. We'll inform

27:35

the appropriate authorities. As you know, we've already

27:37

talked to the NASDAQ. And

27:39

look, I just think, as I said last

27:42

week, and as we've continued our investigation,

27:45

seems to me like the RICO statute applies

27:47

here, especially that the way

27:49

the RICO statute has been applying to President

27:51

Trump and others. And

27:53

that leads me to the other, we're

27:56

obviously going on the congressional route

27:58

right now. forget,

28:01

there are a lot of states, state attorney

28:03

generals that should have an interest in this.

28:06

How much damage has been done

28:09

to capital formation of other smaller

28:11

companies that have been

28:14

hit by this naked short

28:16

selling or counterfeit shares? My guess is it's going to

28:18

be a large number. And

28:20

look, we just might be the poster child and

28:22

if this happened to us, we're going to break

28:24

it out into the open. We're going

28:26

to make sure that people know about it and

28:29

we're going to continue to expose it. So

28:31

working with Congress, working with other governmental

28:33

authorities and also going to

28:36

work with the state attorney generals. Congress,

28:39

I want to ask a little bit about regulators. Have

28:41

they been slow on the dime? Do you think based

28:44

on what you just said that the SEC maybe

28:46

should have been policing a little bit or be

28:48

policing more? They should need congressional prodding to look

28:50

into this? Well, look,

28:53

I believe in the legislative

28:55

branch running their own investigation

28:57

outside of the

28:59

executive branch for the

29:01

obvious reasons. So they already

29:03

know this. We

29:05

know this from True Social because people post

29:08

it on True Social all the time. They're

29:10

notifying the SEC and the other authorities, our

29:12

shareholders. That's how we found

29:14

out about this because they shared it on True Social. Therefore,

29:17

I have a fiduciary responsibility to protect

29:19

our retail shareholders. And

29:21

so the SEC knows about it. The other

29:23

bodies know about it. We've

29:26

notified the NASDAQ. We've notified Congress.

29:28

We've now updated Congress with other

29:30

avenues to investigate. We're going to

29:32

notify some state attorney generals, probably

29:34

specifically here in Florida, where True

29:36

Social is headquartered. But there may

29:38

be other state attorney generals that

29:40

have an interest. And John,

29:42

we will build the case. As we build

29:44

the case and we get more information, look,

29:47

likely more and more whistleblowers will come forward.

29:50

You know that, John. It's how it

29:52

always works as you run these investigations. And,

29:54

you know, a matter of fact, we have

29:56

so much information incoming right now that

29:59

I mean, it. literally takes me all night

30:01

to go through all the information and our

30:03

team of people that we're building to go

30:05

through this information because of course, you know,

30:08

all whistle blowers aren't real. So

30:10

you got to kind of just, you know, cipher through that and

30:12

sift through it. But it

30:14

looks to me like there's, look, I think

30:16

this has happened to a lot of people

30:18

in the past and we'll just continue to

30:20

put the information together, get it to the

30:22

appropriate authorities and ultimately, we

30:24

expect the SEC and the other

30:26

government agencies to do their job. And

30:29

most importantly, since DOJ is

30:31

in love with the RICO statute now,

30:34

they damn sure better use it if

30:36

people are actually trading counterfeit shares.

30:39

Yeah. And like you

30:41

said, they've been real loosey goosey with RICO

30:43

charges. I wanted to ask you

30:45

about this, what seems to be a

30:47

recent windfall for President Trump, assuming the

30:49

stock price stays over what, 1750 for

30:51

the next 20 trading days, it

30:53

will bring his grand total to 114 million shares over $5

30:55

billion worth. That's

31:00

pretty good news for President Trump, bad

31:02

news for folks over on MSNBC and

31:04

CNN though. Well,

31:06

look, and actually, President Trump has received

31:09

those shares. And look, the bottom

31:11

line is this, we're building a great company. We

31:13

have great technology. We're doing it without all the

31:15

big tech companies. That's a good news story.

31:18

But guess what? Without one of

31:20

the most iconic names and well-known people around the

31:22

world in the last hundred years, it

31:24

would be tough for us to have as many

31:26

users as we do if we didn't have President

31:29

Trump. So I think everybody

31:31

that's part of our company understands that, that

31:33

making sure that he has the appropriate shares

31:35

as he moves forward. Look, and

31:37

he says it all the time on True

31:39

Social, he says it publicly. I mean, he

31:41

loves this company. He loves True Social. He

31:43

loves that he puts it on there and

31:45

within seconds, people are taking that information they're

31:47

putting on all the other social media platforms,

31:50

which I think is hilarious because they

31:52

banned them on all the other platforms, but now

31:55

they can't get enough of them. And they've got

31:57

basically detection systems that people have built that just

31:59

like how post across all the

32:01

other platforms that replicates it out there.

32:03

So and look the key is

32:05

that this is just as you know true social

32:07

is the beachhead against big

32:10

tech tyranny for free speech but

32:12

the bigger platform that we're building is

32:14

is our streaming platform that we're in

32:16

the midst of we've announced it you

32:18

know we there's already we're already testing

32:20

it real America's voice is a you

32:22

know playing a big part in that because

32:25

we want to be the home for

32:27

canceled or shadowband news religious

32:29

family-friendly content and

32:31

through a very efficient

32:34

system which to be

32:36

technical it's called a linear TV

32:38

CDN that I think

32:40

will allow us to be if people are

32:42

familiar with Pluto, Sling and like

32:45

a Fubu we're basically in a

32:48

Netflix we're combining those into one

32:50

one technology so that places

32:52

like real America's voice have a

32:54

home and can't be canceled. So

32:57

important. Congressman I

32:59

know you you and President Trump started the platform because

33:01

you were worried about the infringement of free speech but

33:03

there's another side of this debate now that Congress is

33:06

really grappling with and that is when free speech wades

33:09

into violating civil liberties turning into violence

33:11

depriving Jewish students the ability to go

33:13

to school safely. Any I know

33:15

you probably have some thoughts on what's going

33:17

on in college campuses what can Congress do

33:19

to make a difference and roll this back

33:21

and make students feel safe on campus again?

33:24

Well what I noticed was two things one that

33:27

one one the obvious one is is that

33:30

this is mostly happening in the worst way

33:32

in cities that are

33:34

run that are blue or run by

33:36

Democrats and they're out of control there's

33:39

a total breakdown of law and order there's no

33:41

respect for the police this has

33:43

been an ongoing problem and

33:46

this is a culmination somebody's funding

33:48

these operations I don't know

33:50

who there's rumors that it's you know everybody says Soros

33:52

I have no idea if it's Soros or not but

33:54

it is kind of odd that

33:56

there's all of these protesters that are out

33:58

there that are attacked cracking the college

34:00

campuses all in unison, all

34:02

at the same time. But then when you

34:05

peel it back, early indications, and as

34:07

you guys know, early indications, you have

34:09

to wait till you get all the facts.

34:12

But it appears like they're not even

34:14

students, most of them. So

34:17

then who the hell is doing this? And why

34:19

would police not be cracking down? So once again,

34:21

it's another reason, get the hell out of red

34:24

states, don't send your kids. I do not get

34:26

the hell out of blue states and head to

34:28

red states. I would never. I hope

34:31

my kids do not go to one of these colleges

34:34

in one of these blue cities.

34:36

I just think it's too dangerous and not worth it.

34:39

All right, folks, one more good one to go

34:41

to help us explain why RFK is doing so

34:43

well in the poll. Double digits starting

34:45

to take a bite out of Joe Biden

34:47

a little bit. You can see that in

34:50

some of the polling numbers. Tony Lyons, the

34:52

head of the Super PAC, supporting RFK is

34:54

going to give us the latest dynamics as

34:56

he sees them. We'll have that in the

34:58

final block of Saturday's John Solomon Reports edition.

35:05

36:00

for more details. Sunday,

36:02

there's joy in the election. Welcome

36:07

back, America. While so much of the media focus

36:09

in the 2024 election has focused

36:11

on the Trump-Biden rematch, Robert F.

36:13

Kennedy Jr. continues to build momentum

36:15

as an independent candidate running to

36:17

give voters a third option in

36:19

November. RFK picked up

36:21

a major victory on Monday when his

36:23

campaign announced he had qualified for the

36:26

ballot here in California. The

36:28

big news comes just two weeks after it was

36:30

reported that he had qualified for the ballot in

36:32

Michigan. Joining us now to talk

36:34

more about this is Tony Lyons. He serves as

36:36

the co-chair and co-founder of American Values PAC 2024

36:38

and the Super PAC supporting

36:41

Robert Kennedy Jr. for president, of course. He's

36:43

also the president of Skyhorse Publishing and he

36:45

joins us now. Tony, great to see you.

36:47

Thank you for being here. Yeah,

36:50

thanks so much for having me. Give

36:52

us a tally. Obviously, Michigan and California. I know

36:55

that there is a process ongoing in other states.

36:57

How many states is RFK Jr. up to? I

37:01

don't really know. He's getting

37:03

on state after state and I think that every

37:05

week it's going to be two or three more

37:07

states. So, he's really right in the

37:10

middle of it. He's got this incredible team and

37:12

they are going to be on the ballot

37:15

in every state. That's

37:17

the thing. People should just get used to that.

37:19

There's no question he's going to be on the

37:21

ballot in every single state and the District of

37:23

Columbia. Yeah, no doubt. You

37:25

can see that. You can see it rolling in now.

37:28

Tony, there's another thing rolling in which is

37:30

the outlines of a coalition that's going to

37:32

be the RFK coalition. I looked at some

37:34

of the data, it's like 16, 17 percent,

37:37

but it comes from so many different walks

37:39

of America, different political stripes. It's sort of

37:41

an interesting soup bowl forming

37:43

and also some evidence that people who haven't been

37:45

in the political game coming in. Tell us what

37:47

you see in the data as you look out

37:49

on who RFK is appealing to. Yeah,

37:52

I mean, there have been some really great and striking

37:54

polling. So some of the things that have been true

37:56

for the last couple of months are that if the

37:59

only people in the country who could vote were

38:01

people 45 years of age

38:03

or younger, then Bobby Kennedy beats

38:06

Trump and Biden handily right now.

38:08

No question. So then

38:10

you look at independent voters. He's

38:12

winning there. You look at

38:14

middle class voters and he's doing better and

38:17

better. You look at Hispanic voters, at black

38:19

voters, and he's getting votes from all

38:22

of these different demographics because they all

38:24

are just sick of being lied to.

38:26

They're sick of this politics as

38:29

usual and they want things to

38:31

change and they don't believe that

38:33

either Trump or Biden are going to give

38:36

them the kind of change that they hope for. Tony,

38:40

I want to ask you about an interesting tweet thread

38:42

that pertain to the misconceptions about

38:45

RFK Jr. and there were a

38:48

few tweets in there about environmentalism and his

38:50

stance on guns. I want to take the

38:52

low hanging fruit because his relationship with Jeffrey

38:54

Epstein has been somewhat a conversation in political

38:57

circles. Can you clarify for us? Yeah,

39:00

he has no connection there whatsoever.

39:03

There's just an incredible number of

39:05

lies being told. But the

39:07

fascinating thing is that you have Trump saying

39:09

that RFK is a radical left

39:15

wing liberal and a lunatic. And

39:17

then you have Biden saying RFK

39:19

is an ultra mega lunatic.

39:22

So you have to wonder, either

39:25

he's helping one or the other, you

39:27

would think. So both of them must

39:29

be looking at data that shows that

39:31

he's taking from both of them, that

39:33

he's creating new voters. He's bringing voters

39:35

to the polls who have not voted

39:38

in the past. They didn't vote in

39:40

2016. They didn't vote in 2020 because

39:42

they believe that the country is corrupt,

39:44

that their government is corrupt, but they're

39:46

coming out for Bobby Kennedy. And the

39:49

thing is, both of them recognize one

39:51

important thing, and that is that Bobby

39:53

Kennedy can win. And what's

39:55

really been fascinating in some of the

39:58

recent polling is that it shows that

40:00

Biden can't win, that Biden

40:02

doesn't win with Bobby in

40:05

the case, you know, in the race,

40:07

and he doesn't win if Bobby drops

40:09

out. So what it turns out is

40:11

that a vote for Bobby, I mean,

40:13

a vote for Biden is a vote

40:15

for Trump. And it's

40:17

a throwaway vote that recent polling proves

40:19

that, you know, there's a major

40:22

national poll that shows that RFK beats

40:24

Trump head to head, that he

40:26

beats him, you know, by a

40:28

landslide if Biden drops out. And

40:31

if Trump drops out, and it's

40:33

Bobby versus Biden, Bobby wins

40:35

too. So these are fascinating polls. And

40:37

I think that the Democratic Party is

40:39

going to have to really begin to

40:41

ask themselves, do they want Trump

40:43

to be president? Or do they want

40:46

RFK Jr. to be president? That's

40:48

the essential question because it really looks

40:51

like Joe Biden can't win. Yeah,

40:54

and the CNN poll really accentuated that this weekend, no

40:56

doubt. All right, so here's the challenge. I've been covering

40:58

politics a long time. I covered the pro campaign, 9296.

41:00

I got a lot of familiar

41:02

with a really surging third party candidate. You're

41:05

at 16, 70% of polls, you might be

41:07

at 20 in some of the polls. How do you get from

41:10

that 20 to 35% where people don't have the fear, well,

41:14

I don't want to throw my vote away. That leap

41:16

is the next thing you've got a lot of time,

41:18

what are the pathways to get that done? Well,

41:21

what's really fascinating there is that there's so

41:23

many people who I talked to, who

41:25

say that they really like Bobby, they

41:27

like Bobby more than Trump, or they

41:29

like Bobby more than Biden. But what

41:31

they're afraid of is that their vote

41:33

won't count, you know, that they look

41:35

at a lot of the polling that's

41:37

been done, just makes believe that it's

41:39

a two party race. So when they

41:41

see Bobby Kennedy going higher in the

41:44

polls, when they recognize, you know, that

41:46

some of the polling really shows that

41:48

Bobby is such a strong candidate, then

41:50

I think they're going to say, we

41:52

want to be with Bobby, we want to

41:55

be for real change, we want to end

41:57

these forever wars, we want a border that's

41:59

safe. We want to end the

42:01

chronic, you know, health, sorry,

42:04

the chronic health disease problem in

42:06

this country, you know, that they're

42:09

seeing that they want somebody

42:11

who's going to fight for them. They want

42:13

somebody who's going to make it possible for

42:15

them to buy groceries, to buy gas, to

42:17

pay their rent, and they don't see that

42:20

Biden or Trump really care and are really

42:22

going to fight for them. Yeah.

42:26

Tony, before we let you go, something came across my

42:28

news desk and it got 129

42:30

million impressions on social media, the

42:32

real RFK Jr. movie, massively

42:35

viral on social media. Tell us about it.

42:38

Yeah. That's an incredible movie because you

42:41

know, the point of the movie is

42:43

that you've been lied to just time

42:45

after time and that you

42:47

can read about Bobby in the

42:49

newspaper. You see that he's called

42:51

dangerous. He's called a conspiracy theorist,

42:53

but that the truth is that

42:55

he's a danger only to the

42:57

corrupt politicians who've been taking advantage

42:59

of the people of this country

43:01

and have a handful of multibillion

43:03

dollar corporations. So when you see

43:05

this movie, you recognize that Bobby's

43:07

been fighting for the American

43:10

people for the last 40 years and

43:12

that he's going to come out and

43:14

he's going to smash the two party

43:16

system and he's going to really change

43:18

this country and make it a country

43:20

that we can all be proud of

43:22

once again. So you can't watch that

43:24

movie and not come away with again.

43:26

So you can't watch that movie and

43:28

not come away with just incredible respect

43:30

for Bobby Kennedy. All right, folks, that wraps

43:33
