Welcome, welcome to the Lance Wallnau
0:02
Show. Now listen, in the realm of
0:04
journalism, there's nobody like John Solomon.
0:07
He's the real deal. I mean, this is the
0:09
guy that actually does the reporting. When
0:11
I first heard about his underground
0:14
reporting on Russiagate, exposing
0:16
the thread of deception
0:18
in the FBI, two guys actually
0:20
approached him in trench coats in his
0:23
hometown there in D.C., and
0:25
they came up by his car, and he didn't know what was gonna happen,
0:28
and they said, just wanna let you know, you're on the right track,
0:30
keep going.
0:31
And then they left him. When I
0:33
first heard that, I thought, that's spooky, but you see, they
0:35
were saying, there are good guys out there,
0:37
and
0:39
we need them. John Solomon's
0:41
gonna be answering some very important questions I've got
0:43
for you. And you know, one of the things which I'm
0:45
looking at with great concern is what's
0:48
happened with the McCarthy debt deal, which
0:50
we now know, it was two trillion,
0:52
four trillion, five trillion. I keep hearing the number going
0:54
up because evidently there's no ceiling on it,
0:57
and it's gonna be two years of free fall
1:00
at a time when I think the nation is, if
1:02
you don't mind me saying so, heading for divine
1:04
disciplines. But God always
1:07
forewarns his people that I'm telling you,
1:09
if you've got money tied up in the paper
1:11
currency of the dollar, you wanna start to
1:13
reevaluate that. Your IRA
1:17
and your 401K,
1:20
I would be thinking seriously about moving it out of paper
1:22
because of the inflationary cycle it's gonna be
1:25
hitting again.
1:26
And moving it to gold, because the gold will
1:28
store your value. The gold will actually
1:31
increase in value. Whatever happens with
1:33
the dollar, you've got something
1:36
which the banks themselves are stockpiling
1:38
right now. And so I wanna encourage
1:40
you to go to lancewilliam.com forward slash
1:43
safe, S-A-F-E. Why safe?
1:46
Because I asked them to provide you with a
1:48
safe. If you meet a certain threshold
1:50
of giving into your own retirement,
1:53
or if you put a certain amount of money in, in
1:55
gold and silver,
1:56
they're gonna send you the safe to protect
1:58
it with. And this is going to be only
2:01
good till July 7th. So move fast. Lance
2:03
Wallnau.com forward slash safe.
2:05
The offer is good to July 7th. Jump
2:07
in and grab it.
2:08
You'll have peace of mind. That's
2:11
what I believe God wants you to have. Now,
2:14
John Solomon, ladies and gentlemen, let's go
2:16
right in. Welcome, welcome
2:18
to the Lance Wallnau Show. And today
2:20
I have the privilege of having one of
2:23
the great minds
2:25
and journalists that I myself
2:27
listen to. When I talk to you, you got to know
2:30
that I'm getting my facts from John Solomon. And
2:32
if I'm wrong, it's John's fault because he didn't do
2:34
his research right. That's right. So John,
2:36
thanks for being on the show today. What a great honor to be with you,
2:38
Lance. Thank you for having me. I first heard
2:40
about you and
2:42
the story was you, and
2:45
I caught you just randomly on a radio.
2:47
And you were talking about two
2:49
trench coat guys that came up to your
2:51
car when you were in DC and
2:54
you're looking nervously at this and they come
2:56
up and deliver the message. You're on the right track.
2:59
And then what was that for everyone
3:01
else to catch up? This is my introduction to John
3:03
Solomon. What was that? It
3:05
was
3:06
five, six years ago in
3:08
March. I just made
3:11
an appearance on Hannity. I've been in the news media business for 35
3:13
years, worked at AP, the Washington
3:15
Post, mainstream media.
3:16
I went to become the editor of the Washington Times and started my
3:19
own site. And we were
3:21
reporting on FISA abuses, not
3:23
related to Russia or anything involving Trump,
3:25
just old-fashioned, the FBI abusing the
3:28
Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. I
3:30
did a big story, went on Hannity that night, Sarah
3:33
Carter and I.
3:34
Came home, I was pulling into my driveway, it was about 11
3:36
o'clock at night. There was a blue car with government
3:39
license plates on it. Lights, the
3:41
parking lights were on. I pulled in the driveway,
3:43
guys got out of the car.
3:44
They looked to be in the military. I think they
3:47
probably were in the Air Force, maybe the NSA.
3:49
And they said, are you John Solomon? Yes, sir. And
3:52
is there anything wrong? I said, no, no. I'm just trying to
3:54
let you know that you're at
3:55
the tip of a very large iceberg, that
3:57
what you were reporting on today actually goes.
3:59
far deeper, far worse than you know.
4:02
And we've been
4:04
carrying out a political dirty trick using
4:06
the awesome powers of the United States government. Like, what are you talking
4:09
about? And he said, you'll have
4:11
to figure it out. Most of it's classified.
4:13
Keep scratching, keep digging, but it
4:15
isn't an accident that there's been abuses of the
4:17
FISA law.
4:18
And just think about what's going on in the current marketplace.
4:21
And I think of Trump, Russia collusion,
4:23
because that's what people are writing about. And
4:26
I said, I remember a symptom. I said,
4:28
why are you doing this? Why did you pick me? Why
4:30
are you doing this? And he said,
4:31
you need us, pointing to themselves. We
4:35
need these tools that we're using to protect
4:37
people from real terrorism threats, real counter intelligence
4:39
threats. If we've abused them, as
4:41
I believe we have,
4:43
we won't have these tools in the future. And
4:45
we won't be able to keep you safe. That's what's at stake here.
4:47
So go do some reporting. So my
4:49
head was spinning. I went down to the basement. I typed up everything
4:51
I could remember, because I wasn't taking notes. And Sarah
4:53
Carter and I started on a six
4:56
year journey to unravel what ultimately became
4:58
Russia collusion. Two patriots.
5:00
I'll tell you right now,
5:02
if God wanted to send you a message,
5:05
he sent them to send you
5:07
a message. So what's your response
5:10
when you hear a week ago, two dozen
5:12
FBI agents coming forward. And in the final
5:14
commentary, one of these brave
5:17
men saying, if you're thinking of coming forth,
5:19
pray long and hard about it, because they'll destroy
5:21
you. This must frustrate you that you've been
5:24
on this case from the beginning. And there still
5:26
is this.
5:27
All those brave patriots that are coming forward,
5:30
those guys didn't obviously go through the official whistleblower
5:32
process, but many have, what happens
5:34
to them? They have the security clearance pulled. Their
5:37
paychecks in pulled because the security clearance is pulled.
5:39
They sit for a year unable to work. Their families
5:41
drain their bank accounts. And then the FBI
5:44
separates from them. That's what's happened to multiple
5:46
whistleblowers. You've tried to alert us
5:48
to things. Now, how serious is it?
5:50
Is it just a couple of people fighting over
5:52
Donald Trump and Joe Biden?
5:54
No, it's much bigger than that. Think about what we
5:57
learned from the FISA
5:57
court on Friday night. There are.
6:00
in the last year of
6:02
record, which is actually 2021, there
6:05
were 278,000 times that the FBI abused
6:08
the Patriot Act
6:10
and FISA to spy on Americans
6:12
without justification.
6:14
A quarter million people in a single year. This
6:17
is way bigger than Trump v. Biden,
6:19
way bigger than a few disgruntled
6:21
FBI agents. The awesome powers
6:23
of the United States are now being turned against its people
6:26
in ways that the Fourth Amendment never intended,
6:28
the First Amendment didn't intend. The
6:30
government and the great constitutional republic
6:33
that we built that's protected all of us is
6:35
really in grave danger of imploding on itself.
6:38
That's why so many people are coming forward. They're
6:40
all gonna lose their jobs. There's not gonna be any system
6:42
to protect them. We have some new IRS whistleblowers
6:44
coming out now saying that the thumb's been
6:46
on the scale, the Hunter Biden investigation. They're
6:49
already seeing retaliation. And that takes a singular kind
6:51
of courage. Yeah, it's what I call career
6:53
martyrdom. They know, like the
6:55
FBI, that I'm stepping in there. It's
6:58
gonna register tremendous disapproval because somebody
7:01
in the Treasury Department has been suppressing information
7:04
for political reasons. And those
7:06
names will come up. Yep.
7:08
Yeah, their careers are done and they know it. I've talked
7:10
to a lot of these whistleblowers. They knew stepping
7:13
forward was the end of their law enforcement career, the
7:15
FBI career. But they felt
7:17
that there was a larger principle. That listen, what good is
7:19
a law enforcement career if the law
7:21
and orders that we created this country on
7:23
are no longer being abided by, they're willing to risk
7:25
everything to tell the American people what's been
7:27
going on for the last six, seven years.
7:31
Big stuff. I'm virtually speechless
7:33
when I think about this.
7:34
What do you think Senator Grassley, and Grassley
7:37
and Mike Davis, so as
7:39
I'm getting educated, and then I educate
7:41
my audience, Grassley has
7:44
oversight of the whistleblower program, doesn't he? Well,
7:46
he's on one of the committees that does. He's been a champion
7:49
of whistleblowers all the way back to the 80s. And
7:51
many of the whistleblower laws in place today
7:54
that protect whistleblowers, he either authored
7:56
or helped the shepherd through the Senate or the House. And
7:59
so he...
7:59
He's the guy that most whistle blowers go to when
8:02
they know
8:03
they have something serious and they're about to be destroyed.
8:06
When he came up for reelection, I was really concerned
8:08
that we got our people educated
8:10
that, hey, all senators aren't created
8:13
equal. Some of them are really incredibly important.
8:15
He's one of them.
8:16
He is.
8:18
He has a kind of, but he's part of the aristocracy
8:21
and they have a protocol. I always respect the Senate.
8:23
They're not like the scrappers in Congress. No, they're
8:25
very different. They do telegraph
8:28
when you've offended their majesty.
8:32
I think that Grassley has the attitude right now
8:34
that he's being a little bit disrespected
8:37
for that and that's not good because he'll
8:39
come down.
8:40
He has the protected more whistle blowers.
8:43
You go back to the FBI lab, a scandal
8:45
of the 1990s, Chuck Grassley protected the people
8:47
there. Fred Whitehurst, the whistle blower
8:50
there. The 9-11, the
8:52
FBI and the CIA pretty much put most of
8:54
the 9-11 together, but they didn't roll it up.
8:57
The whistle blowers came forward to divulge it. He protected
8:59
them. He has been there and
9:01
right now he realizes that these IRS
9:04
agents who've come forward in the last couple of days, the FBI agents
9:06
a few months ago. What's coming up, John? Tell
9:08
me about the IRS agents coming up this week. He's likely
9:10
to testify behind, there's a supervisee
9:13
IRS criminal investigation, one of the most decorated
9:15
agents in the IRS. He's trusted with the most sensitive
9:17
cases like the Swiss bank case, which we know
9:20
is one of the biggest tax cases
9:21
in American history.
9:22
He's supervising a team that was assigned to the
9:25
Hunter Biden investigation.
9:26
He came forward three weeks ago saying
9:29
that my team
9:30
and the FBI agents have been prevented from
9:32
taking steps to investigate Joe Biden. We've
9:36
been thwarted in bringing tax charges against Hunter
9:38
Biden. I'd like to tell my story
9:40
to the Justice Department IG he has and
9:43
to Congress. Now, the Justice IG is the same
9:45
Justice IG that helped us unravel the Russia collusion
9:48
story to find out that was a ruse.
9:50
He's investigating it now. Congress, the
9:52
Ways and Means Committee is
9:54
the only committee that can do this because
