Summary

Newt discusses a breaking news story with investigative reporter John Solomon, editor-in-chief of Just the News. The story centers on allegations of suspicious activity tied to Democrat fundraising through the platform ActBlue. Concerns have been raised about potential foreign interference from countries like China, Iran, Venezuela, and Russia, who may be funneling illicit money to Democrat candidates. Solomon explains the mechanics of ActBlue and WinRed, the Republican counterpart, and highlights the lack of transparency and potential for money laundering due to the absence of certain security measures like the CVV code on credit card transactions. The discussion also touches on ongoing investigations by Congress and multiple state attorneys general into these allegations.

John... John, welcome and thank you for joining me on Newts World.

1:02.5

Ah, great to be with you, Mr. Speaker.

1:07.8

Before we get into this very, very important topic, which you've really helped break,

1:12.0

talk just for a minute for our audience about just the news and what you're doing and what you're trying to accomplish and how they can get there. Yeah, it's a simple place to

1:16.4

go to JustTheNews.com. We don't do any op-eds. We just do news. And I've been in the legacy media

1:21.9

for most of my life, the Associated Press, The Washington Post, the Hill, for most of it, the Washington Times for a little bit. And in 2020, I decided I wanted to do something on my own because I saw a drift towards

1:32.1

trying to make news stories look like news, but they really were disguised opinion, that they

1:37.0

were giving opinions and trying to lead people to their own truth, the reporter's truth,

1:44.7

Americans want to be trusted with the facts. And I'll give them the facts and I'll let them

1:48.9

make up their own mind. I have no goal of making up their mind for them. And so not only, when we

1:53.2

started the site, we not only do hard news all day, everything that's in our reporters notebooks go

1:57.5

in a thing called the dig-in tool. So you can see our videos and our documents and our audio and our links and our research that we use. So if you don't want to check our

2:05.0

word for it, you can go dig in yourself. About 20% of readers on every story go into that section

2:09.9

and go do their own research. And I call it Back to the Future Project. We're doing old-fashioned

2:14.5

journalism, but we take advantage of the future tools of the internet, which allows everybody to dig deeper. You broke what I think maybe the last really

big story about the selection campaign. But to set the stage, can you talk just a little bit about
