Crossfire Hurricane to Arctic Frost: John Solomon walks Miranda Devine through the files

The full sit-down drew more viewers in its first seventeen hours than this channel's videos usually see in many weeks, while the short Solomon clips around it stayed in the low thousands.

Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 212,278 views a day, 119 times a normal first day on this channel (1,785).

Uncovered White House Files Spark New ConcernsUncovered White House Files Spark New Concerns

John Solomon came to Pod Force One with a stack of government files and a decade of codenames. In "Uncovered White House Files Spark New Concerns," he takes Miranda Devine through what he says the newly uncovered documents show about Crossfire Hurricane, Round River and Arctic Frost, and about the investigations that touched Donald Trump, Joe Biden and Mike Flynn. In the description's words, Solomon argues the papers reveal a troubling pattern inside the federal government that runs for ten years.

The episode passed 180,000 views in its first seventeen hours. A first day on this channel usually ends below two thousand. The comment section moved fast too, already more than three times busier than a normal first day.

The conversation has been arriving in pieces. Over the previous three days the channel posted short Solomon clips: one on Obama under oath, one on why Solomon left mainstream media, one on how the media changed. They have mostly gathered a few thousand views each. The long interview is the one that went far beyond them.

Devine, a New York Post columnist, built this podcast around long conversations with Washington figures, and Solomon is a natural fit. He spent years as a reporter and editor at the Associated Press, the Washington Post and the Washington Times before he founded Just the News. Under the video, much of the talk returns to one question: whether anyone will answer for what Solomon describes.
