## Resource

In this episode of John Solomon Reports , we uncover a groundbreaking revelation as Tulsi Gabbard, the outgoing Director of National Intelligence, confirms that the United States has been funding foreign biolabs, including those in war zones and adversarial nations like China and Ukraine. Host John Solomon discusses the implications of this disclosure, questioning the necessity of American taxpayer dollars supporting dangerous pathogen research abroad and the risks involved, especially in conflict zones. Gabbard emphasizes that this practice is a troubling legacy of the Dr. Fauci era. Next, Congressman Tom McClintock from California joins the conversation to discuss the ongoing vote counting in his state—a process that has drawn criticism for its prolonged nature and potential for fraud. McClintock shares his insights on the political environment in California and the pressing issues facing Congress, including a potential FISA deal. In the second segment, Colonel Rob Maness provides expert commentary on President Trump's anticipated return to military power and its implications for national security. His insights shed light on the evolving dynamics within the military landscape.
