That's what Matt Breyette explains in his new book, You Got to Win Pennsylvania, A Call to Entrepreneurs to Save America. Pennsylvania is the fifth largest state and the biggest swing state in the nation. And as Pennsylvania goes, so goes the nation. I've known that as a political reporter for decades. Progressive billionaires and millionaires understand that if you capture this important state, you can control the entire country. But Matt gives an inside look at what entrepreneurs are doing to counter the left. And he reminds us that entrepreneurs founded this great nation and entrepreneurs will save it. In You Gotta Win Pennsylvania, Matt explains how Pennsylvania is ground zero in the fight for America, but he doesn't just give the problem, he gives a solution. That's what I love about this. And that solution, it's you. Check out yougottawinpa.com, yougottawinpa.com to learn more and get a copy of this eye-opening book on how the future of freedom and prosperity in America depends on winning Pennsylvania.

Hello America and happy Wednesday. Welcome to the latest edition of John Solomon Reports, the podcast from Just the News. We've got a great show for you today. Let me get to the lineup and then we'll get you to some pretty exciting headlines that have broken in the last 24 hours.

Joining us at the top of the newscast, retiring Congressman Chip Roy from Texas. He has a lot to talk about, the debt, the spending, the issues that Congress can still tackle in the lame duck session, and of course the election. Will Texas stay red? Will it be purple? A lot of concerns about that. We'll see where Chip Roy stands on that. It is the third anniversary of the October 7th atrocities by Hamas in Israel, one of the world's coerced inhuman events.

Today, the New York City mayor, Zohran Mamdani, used the third year commemoration of the 1,400 lives lost, the innocent lives lost in Israel, to accuse Israel of being an apartheid state that commits genocide and accuse America of being its co-conspirator.

Horrific things to say on a day of such great pain, and of course, most of it not even remotely true.

We're going to ask Fred Fleitz about that in the 2nd block of the show, former National Security Council Chief of Staff, former CIA analyst, he knows a lot. We'll also get into the Iran War, the Russia-Ukraine War, what's going on around the country. In the 3rd block of the show, a fun conversation with a young man who is now the youngest syndicated columnist in the country for conservatives, Greg, Gregory Lyakhov. He is a really interesting guy, and he has a lot of thoughts about why socialism is surging with young people and some of the securities and sensibilities that they've been given. Then we'll finish up with another conversation about Israel with Heather Johnston, the head of the American Israel Education Association, a great voice on fighting anti-Semitism, getting common sense. Anti-Semitism and anti-Americanism are now unbelievably married in this red-green Islamic-Marxist alliance that's sweeping the West and even in the United States. Will we defeat it? I'll ask Heather Johnston in the last block of the show. Congressman Chip Roy, the great Fred Fleitz, Gregory Lyakhov and Heather Johnston back to back to back on this Wednesday edition of John Solomon Reports, a podcast from Justin News. Well, let me get to some of those big, big stories that are out there today. Rand Paul put out some new information today, quite remarkable about Anthony Fauci. New things in the Anthony Fauci diary. They're important ones.
