| 0:00.0 | Hello America and happy Friday. This is a special edition of John Solomon Reports, a podcast |
| 0:12.0 | from Just the News. You know about us now. You've been listening to us for several months. |
| 0:16.2 | We want to thank you for joining us and joining in the fight for truth and justice at Isolab |
| 0:21.2 | Center of what Just the News and John Solomon Reports is about. So today, if we're going |
| 0:26.5 | to have a special edition of the podcast, we better have a special guest. And I think |
| 0:30.8 | we delivered why? Because we've got the one, the only Tom Fitton, the head of Judicial |
