00:01:14.940 Hello, everybody. I'm Lou Dobbs and welcome to The Great America Show. Thanks for being

00:01:22.820 with us. It turns out Joe Biden isn't the only Marxist im in D.C. who is, well, getting

00:01:29.160 a little slower. Take a listen to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer talking to the American

00:01:35.200 people with a straight face and telling them Joe Biden's mental acuity is great and any suggestion

00:01:40.960 otherwise is right-wing propaganda. I talk to President Biden, you know, regularly or sometimes

00:01:48.840 several times in a week or usually several times in a week. His mental acuity is great. It's fine.

00:01:55.680 It's as good as it's been over the years. I've been speaking to him for 30 years since we worked on the

00:02:00.580 Brady Bill in the assault weapons ban when I was a young congressman. And he's fine. All this right-wing

00:02:11.000 propaganda that his mental acuity is declined is wrong. He's going to win the election because he

00:02:16.460 has a great record, because more and more Americans are seeing that record.

00:02:22.300 If Schumer seriously believes this president isn't demented and impaired, he might be right there

00:02:27.720 with him. Don't you think? Our guest today is Alex Jones, the Alex Jones. And Alex, it's always

00:02:34.560 great to see you. It's been a long while, but we're delighted to have you here and to have a chance

00:02:39.460 to have a little talk about what in the world is going on in America. Well, I'm glad you raised that

00:02:47.540 up front because you sent me a few questions, but you didn't add that one. And that's what I was going

00:02:51.300 to say. What is it like when you had the top show in the English-speaking world? We're not trying to be

00:02:59.100 first place here, but a bigger show than Tucker had on Fox. When you were on CNN reaching 10 million

00:03:04.460 people a day conservatively predicting 20 years ago, 18 years ago, everything that's happened. So our job is

00:03:14.340 much easier as patriots that are anti-globalist. I mean, you pioneered on mainstream media, the first

00:03:20.280 person to ever break all this. So I was going to ask you when you asked me questions, what is it

00:03:24.880 like now to now be here when Elon Musk and Joe Rogan and Tucker Carlson all sound just like you did

00:03:31.560 20-something years ago? Well, it sounds like music to me because I didn't hear any like voices like

00:03:40.020 mine. Well, I would reserve that. You were amazing throughout your career. You started as a skeptic of

00:03:48.740 all that is establishment. And my hat's off to you. But I was out in the wilderness. I mean,

00:03:55.800 I was out in the wilderness. I was a bush leaguer when I was doing it. You charged right on. And it

00:04:01.420 showed that freedom is popular. You have the number one show, as I said, covering freedom,

00:04:06.480 just like all the top shows now are populist, anti-globalist. So I think that's a very positive

00:04:12.660 thing about the awakening that we've reached. I've been a populist all along. I've always said,

00:04:17.840 you know, populist, they say it like it's a dirty word. In my view, it means people.

00:04:23.920 And if you're not for the people of this country, who the hell are you for? So if you don't call 0.62

00:04:29.420 yourself a populist, I want you to say exactly what you are, what you do, because you sound like

00:04:34.640 an enemy of this great republic. And I felt that way from the outset, as you suggest. And I know

00:04:41.500 this, that there are enough voices. You were talking about Tucker and everyone out there.

00:04:47.440 I am so delighted to have people with strong and bright principled voices out talking about what

00:04:55.260 matters to this country. It's a joy to me to watch it, to still be part of it. I'm thrilled to be still

00:05:02.140 in the arena fighting. You know, I may not land as many punches, but I sure do. Well, I guess I'd

00:05:07.980 land a few, but it's harder to take them. I'll put it that way. Go ahead, Alex. Go ahead.

00:05:15.140 No, I just know that I'm coming on with you, but I want to talk about you, because when I look at

00:05:19.300 who in the last 30, 40 years has had the biggest effect against this anti-American agenda, it's Ron

00:05:25.480 Paul, it's Lou Dobbs, and then kind of we all came later. And I'm not taking away from Tucker. I'm

00:05:30.080 friends with Tucker. Love Tucker. He's amazing. I think hopefully he'll have you on his show soon.

00:05:34.760 He should. But I just look back to the people that were telling me about this first. You know,

00:05:40.700 my grandfathers, both my mother's dad and my father's dad, they weren't on air, but they were

00:05:46.520 both aware of this because they were learned, educated men. So I just realized that it's like

00:05:52.700 the rock in the pond. So we can see the big waves now out from the edge of it. But I'm just saying

00:05:57.840 Lou Dobbs was one of the original big rocks thrown in the pond. So, you know, I don't

00:06:02.960 care about Hollywood people. I don't care about sports people, none of that. But I do get

00:06:06.840 a little bit giddy talking to you because I'm smart enough to look back and say, if there

00:06:11.680 wasn't Lou Dobbs for all those years on air, you know, the only person in mainstream media

00:06:18.040 saying it, we would be in a lot of trouble today. And we're still in a lot of trouble.

00:06:21.240 We're in a lot better position, thanks to you. So I know it's a little bit groveling here,

00:06:27.600 but I'm not. We need to recognize the people that were, you know, trailblazers. And you're

00:06:32.400 a maverick, brother.

00:06:33.880 Well, thank you. And I take that as high praise and coming from you. You know, you were talking

00:06:39.520 about being out in the bush. You were only in the bush because people were scared to death

00:06:44.820 of you in that establishment. And they were putting you back as far as they could, as long

00:06:49.220 as they could. And you broke through and hallelujah, brother. And it's like you say, it's a great

00:06:56.720 gathering, these voices now, to hear them taking up the issues that matter instead of the pablum

00:07:04.200 of the mainstream national corporate legacy, whatever you want to call Marxist media. People

00:07:10.060 are wising up to it in a hurry. And it's wonderful to see. And the question only now is, is it soon

00:07:17.780 enough? Because we're sitting here 10 months away from an election. It's I truly believe

00:07:22.860 it. You know, a lot of people say it's existential. It's all of this. I think it's our last best

00:07:27.580 chance, period. And we got to we got to move ahead. I want to ask you back in those days,

00:07:34.420 if you could ever have imagined in your earliest days that this country would have a 2000 mile

00:07:41.260 long border that they turned over to the Mexican drug cartels. There's no middleman. Biden just

00:07:46.920 handed over to the cartels. And the Border Patrol is afraid to get near it. The National Guard has to

00:07:54.000 on their side edge up to it. But no one is dealing with the reality that is the cartels controlling

00:08:01.560 Mexico and our border. It's total rogue warrior. You know, back 20 something years ago, when you're

00:08:07.440 exposing it in the last decade on Fox Business and all that, it was a problem. But but but not

00:08:13.040 because I've been down there 50 times or more like you have. Now it is road warrior bizarre.

00:08:19.120 You don't have to go looking for smugglers or kids being loaded in vans without their parents.

00:08:22.920 You go there for even 30 minutes and you are just I know I am dizzied or stunned by how insane it is.

00:08:31.740 And then I'm flying to the border and being groped to get there and groped to fly back.

00:08:37.020 And it just illustrates how asinine it is. There's all the security at the airport.

00:08:41.360 But then the border is completely wide open and the Border Patrol to their great irritation has been

00:08:48.620 turned into a facilitator of the crime. And it just shows the social contracts broken.

00:08:53.600 We know the NGOs that you exposed on Fox Business. They got you in so much trouble.

00:08:57.880 It's finally in the news are paying these Democrats we see on the news to house these illegals. 0.97

00:09:03.320 They're not doing it out of the goodness of their heart. It's a new business for Democrat voters

00:09:07.340 to bring in new Democrat voters, but also house them for 40, 50 thousand dollars a piece a year

00:09:14.540 in their house. So this is a business that's cloward and pivoted that will collapse the country.

00:09:20.700 And that's exactly what it's designed to do. So that's why I have a sickening feeling,

00:09:25.340 even though I'm optimistic and see a big awakening. I can still, like you said, tell it's crunch time.

00:09:30.380 You can cut the danger with a knife and really feel that America is at the crossroads right now.

00:09:38.020 This is the most important election in modern history, probably the most important election in

00:09:42.140 world history at this current point, because, as you know, elections are only a few hundred years old,

00:09:47.140 the modern world. I guess Greece had a few little tests with it or something in ancient times.

00:09:52.280 But it is truly amazing that we're at this point in history.

00:09:57.340 Yeah, it is amazing. And we're talking with the amazing Alex Jones. We're going to take

00:10:03.220 just a quick break. We're going to be right back. We're talking with Alex Jones about the things

00:10:08.020 that matter and matters most. Of course, this country, the United States of America. You don't

00:10:13.480 hear people say United States of America a lot, do you? You don't even hear them talk about the

00:10:18.180 United States anymore. They'll sort of whisper America, but they won't. That was my Biden impression,

00:10:24.940 by the way, Alex. We'll be right back with the great Alex Jones.

00:10:31.980 Folks, you know, I beg everyone to get ready for the next crisis. And when it comes, our lives will

00:10:37.600 likely change overnight, whether it's natural disaster, war or another disease. We have to be

00:10:43.840 ready as we can be. We saw what happened in 2020 when we found ourselves dependent on global supply

00:10:49.520 chains. We're still dependent on China and other countries for more than 90 percent of all our

00:10:54.460 pharmaceuticals. With clusters of respiratory illnesses popping up around the world and here,

00:11:00.040 we need to be prepared. And now is the time to make certain you have what your family needs

00:11:05.620 when the next crisis hits. Our good friends, Dr. Peter McCullough and Dr. Drew Penske over at

00:11:11.100 the Wellness Company have put together just what you and I need with the Wellness Company's

00:11:15.320 Medical Emergency Kit. And now the Wellness Company's Medical Kit provides a solution critical

00:11:20.740 to you and your loved ones. This emergency kit includes eight life-saving medications, including

00:11:26.580 amoxicillin, Z-Pak, and ivermectin for you to keep on hand, along with a guidebook for safe use.

00:11:58.780 your health today with the Wellness Company's Medical Emergency Kit. Prepare today. Be ready tomorrow.

00:12:04.620 We're back with Alex Jones. And Alex, I just want to turn to a reality that is the national

00:12:12.640 capital, the nation's capital, the swamp, the open sewer, whatever people want to describe it.

00:12:19.680 The truth is it's a land of coercion and blackmail and absolute raw political force. An NSA whistleblower

00:12:28.120 who's a guest on the show a great deal, a friend, he said point blank to me the first time I talked to

00:12:34.940 him, that he knew there was a problem when the NSA was spying on Barack Obama in 2004. He knew there

00:12:45.460 was a problem when Supreme Court justices were being surveilled by the NSA. And he became a whistleblower,

00:12:55.140 and to his great cost and to his great credit. He's a great patriot. We right now are facing

00:13:02.100 total surveillance. We are facing a total loss of constitutional rights because the American people

00:13:08.480 are taking it. How much more can we take, Alex? Well, you're absolutely right. I mean, look at

00:13:14.800 Tucker three years ago. He gets a call from the NSA and you're being spied on. He talks about it. They

00:13:21.560 don't deny it. A month later, the Washington Post goes, yeah, we've got your private messages and

00:13:26.020 we've got transcripts to your phone calls. That is a huge felony against a journalist. And Nixon

00:13:32.120 was removed from office for far less. And so there's this emboldened arrogance to all of it.

00:13:40.040 And I don't like Obama, but he shouldn't have been spied on by the NSA. And then we have Trump,

00:13:45.640 we know, as candidate Trump, and then presidential elected Trump. And then I guess what's the right

00:13:53.540 term? Nominee Trump. And then he was the president. But the point is the entire time they were spying

00:14:02.720 on him, trying to find something, and they didn't find anything. When he was candidate, president-elect,

00:14:09.760 or president, they had the two fake impeachments and the Russia game. I remember watching congressional

00:14:14.420 hearings six years ago, and they're just flat out, Alice Jones is a Russian agent. Never been to

00:14:20.640 Russia, not involved with Russia, know nothing about Russia when it comes to being there. But

00:14:24.480 they're just saying, I'm a Russian agent. All of Trump's supporters are Russian agents, because

00:14:29.160 they're the globalists that are selling out the country. And so they need to project onto us that

00:14:34.780 we're the unfaithful ones. And so, yeah, the general public knows it's not true, but they use that

00:14:40.420 designation to spy on us. And it's totally illegal. And so, yeah, we're kind of already inside the

00:14:48.260 tyranny. The question is, how high are they going to turn it up? Right. You're right. And just where

00:14:55.880 do they stop if they stop at all? We are right now, and the national mainstream media will not

00:15:03.020 acknowledge that these Marxists who control the Democrat Party, the Marxist Dems, who are the masters of

00:15:09.660 this puppet President Biden. They control the entire federal government. This is no joke anymore. This

00:15:17.480 is not a party that's interested in politics. This is a party that's interested in dominion. And they mean

00:15:23.780 to possess power in perpetuity. And meanwhile, we have a fight over the national, you know, the Republican

00:15:32.700 National Committee. We're having a fight over electors and the stuff that's at the margin. When the

00:15:39.180 reality is that government of ours is in the hands of a foreign power, that foreign power, I don't mean

00:15:45.320 in terms of geography. I mean, in terms of foreign, in the sense that it is alien to everything. This 0.99

00:15:51.220 country stands for the people who are the Marxist Dems who control that are aliens unto themselves.

00:15:58.500 And to the rest of this country, we are looking at a desperate, desperate inflection point in our

00:16:06.300 history. And it's whether or not we have the guts to stand up to the conflict that is surely coming.

00:16:12.440 Will it be open conflict? I don't know. But it will be conflict and there will be pain and there

00:16:18.560 will be loss and there will be sacrifice. And there's no way around it. And people have to

00:16:24.760 steel themselves to that. And I don't know if the American people have that in their spine right now.

00:16:30.440 Well, that's right, Lou. And you always say I learned so much from you. We think of Russia or

00:16:36.480 China, and there's certainly adversaries and China's really out of control and evil and 0.93

00:16:39.760 hugely wedded the Democratic Party and people like Mitch McConnell on the Republican side. So it's a

00:16:44.900 huge real threat. But the globalists, the leftists, the Marxists, they really hate America. Even when

00:16:51.320 they run it, they still see it because of its Christian background and because it did oppose the

00:16:56.300 Soviet Union and things as the enemy. And they are the main threat and that they are like a foreign 1.00

00:17:02.440 government. They are a fifth column. They really are an alien group to our country. BlackRock and the 1.00

00:17:09.640 big banks and the money and the Hollywood and the whole woke thing is just a corporate

00:17:14.840 cult with all these minions literally working against the country. And as big a threat as China is, 0.79

00:17:23.280 I'd say it's 20 percent of the threat and Russia is 10 percent of the threat. But then I'd say 30 percent 0.98

00:17:28.500 of the threat is our own domestic enemies that have opened us up to Islamic invasion and a criminal 1.00

00:17:34.600 invasion that have run our dollar down, that are saying they're going to put mentally ill people

00:17:38.860 in charge, flying airplanes. I mean, they are admittedly trying to bring down the old structure

00:17:46.760 to get control of it. I mentioned Cloward and Piven. This is on steroids. What's crazy is they're in the

00:17:53.580 house that they're undermining, that they're going to be destroyed by it. So they're so ideological.

00:17:59.740 They have such a sick ideology that they really are mentally ill. And I don't think they think

00:18:05.280 two, three, four steps ahead. And I agree with you. I don't know because there's a big awakening

00:18:11.240 happening. The average conservative or populist or Christian now knows, wait, we're in trouble.

00:18:15.040 But I still don't think they knew what you knew 20 years ago or I knew 20 years ago of just how

00:18:20.660 diabolical this is. And I just don't know if even our best people realize that we're two minutes to

00:18:27.120 midnight and that this is this is the crisis, not just of America, but civilization, because if the

00:18:32.600 globalists get full control and they can eradicate the idea of American freedom, then all we have is

00:18:38.080 Klaus Schwab and Bill Gates's ideology of scientific tyranny. And so that's why they're at war with us,

00:18:43.740 because even though it's the source of their power, the freedom we generated, the productivity,

00:18:50.000 still it's existential to them because they want to get rid of any ember of freedom that they believe

00:18:56.840 could reignite later and displace them.

00:18:59.660 Yeah, you're absolutely right. And if you look at it in terms of economics, we're looking at a country

00:19:05.680 in which large corporations, the tech industry itself, massive capital valuations, three trillion.

00:19:16.420 If you're in video, you get to go buy Amazon, Apple. We're talking trillions of dollars in three,

00:19:25.240 you're talking almost 10 trillion dollars in three companies. That's unheard of.

00:19:30.440 The idea that this country can somehow survive without being stepped on by these elephants,

00:19:38.460 we are the we are the dominions. We are the de minimis fragments floating in space, and they are

00:19:46.360 the all powerful. And we have to find some way in which to bring to heal the idea that this Marxist

00:19:54.640 government of ours is going to be responsive to the to the people, to the consent of the government.

00:20:00.080 I remember you doing business news whenever it was 2000 or whatever, and you were covering the

00:20:06.900 breakup of Microsoft and it was a monopoly and it was corrupt and deserved it. I look at Bill Gates's

00:20:11.960 corruption, not as a business reporter, but as a layperson. It's nothing compared to the three

00:20:16.520 big elephants that you just mentioned, Apple and Facebook and Amazon and Google. There's four

00:20:22.660 elephants. And Microsoft now is back. I mean, isn't the answer trust busting? But there's no

00:20:29.400 energy for that now. Yeah, there's no energy unless you're Elon Musk and you are a disruptor

00:20:36.280 and you do not heal to the to the to the principal narrative of these Marxist Dems. And then suddenly

00:20:44.460 you've got the SEC, you've got the FTC and every every EU coming right after you. And he'll be

00:20:53.140 performing before the SEC, I think, next week. That's where we are. We're talking with Alex Jones.

00:21:00.200 We're talking about whether or not this great republic will survive. And it's up to you when it's

00:21:05.420 up up to Alex and me. And we'll all try to do our part. I am sure we'll be right back. Stay with us.

00:21:11.620 Lou Dobbs here. I'm delighted to let you all know that the program Lou Dobbs tonight has returned to

00:21:19.400 the air. That's right. Lou Dobbs tonight is back. We're live each and every weeknight at 7 p.m.

00:21:27.620 Eastern and 6 p.m. Central on rumble.com slash Lou Dobbs. That's rumble.com slash Lou Dobbs.

00:21:36.620 I hope you'll be joining us for Lou Dobbs tonight as our fight to save this country has only begun.

00:21:49.620 We're back. We're talking with Alex Jones and Alex, the idea that we have a 2000 mile border,

00:21:56.960 as I said, that is wide open as long as you're paying off the cartels because it's their property

00:22:03.560 now, not America's, not Mexico. And by the way, the cartels also are in charge of Lopez Obrador,

00:22:09.780 the president of Mexico and everyone in his government. So where do we stand and how in

00:22:15.900 the world is it? There's not anyone in this country. It seems to me really grasping the

00:22:21.920 desperate moment that we live in. And the American people seem to be just sucking air through their

00:22:27.420 teeth, waiting for somebody to say, you know, maybe we should be a little outraged at this.

00:22:32.560 Well, look at the $90 million spending package to Ukraine and Israel that they call a border package

00:22:39.220 and they think they'll pass to the house. I hope they don't. And the American people do get that

00:22:44.120 there's billions to NGOs to pay for more illegals. And it basically gives Biden the power to even

00:22:49.940 open the border up more and they see right through it. So, but, but they feel powerless. I mean,

00:22:54.820 just like you and I, at least we have platforms to warn people and we have border patrol that are

00:23:00.260 whistleblowing and we have all this happening, but I hate to use the World War II analogy or

00:23:05.780 maybe an Eastern Europe analogy after World War II, where Stalin's tanks are rolling into your country

00:23:11.280 and it's wrong and it's terrible. You want it to stop, but it's really happening.

00:23:15.480 And so I think in a way, because our government's been seized, we're spectators to this.

00:23:19.920 And one of the biggest hopes is Trump is wildly popular and I'm not a perfect person. None of us

00:23:25.920 are, but would shut this down overnight. It's just fighting with nine months left to try to get in

00:23:33.120 there with all these false indictments. This is way better than any football game and sudden death

00:23:37.700 overtime or basketball and overtime, because that stuff's fun and I enjoy it myself, but it doesn't

00:23:43.500 matter who wins the game at the end of the day. This is everything. This is our children.

00:23:47.800 I've got kids old enough now, but they have grandchildren. I know you're a father and all

00:23:52.300 the rest of it. And it's just to watch the establishment recklessly flush all this security

00:23:59.200 and freedom down the toilet for a perceived short-term bottom line really shows they're

00:24:05.700 disconnected. They're not the elitist they say they are. They're not the aristocrats they claim

00:24:10.340 because an aristocrat's not perfect. But if you've got a ruling class, they're supposed to hold up

00:24:14.620 society. They're supposed to try to build stability. And instead, I know we've got all

00:24:20.240 these lawyers and politicians and think tanks that just think they're invincible. You know,

00:24:25.040 if you go back to a great movie made about the Deepwater Horizon that was based on the transcripts

00:24:30.960 of the lawsuit and the British Petroleum criminal trial. And so the movie with Mark Wahlberg and

00:24:37.700 Kurt Russell's excellent. We've seen it. But it's based pretty much as close as you can get to

00:24:42.580 what really happened. And they get a call from BP's headquarters in the U.S. in Houston.

00:24:48.740 And they tell the head engineer, the head of the plant, yeah, we're spending $30 million a day to

00:24:52.500 drill this super deep well. We don't think we need to dump concrete in on the hole. He goes,

00:24:57.120 let me do an equation. He comes back 10 minutes later and he says, if we hit gas at any decent

00:25:02.420 level, it will blow up the plant. They said, well, we're going to, by saving $300 million in the next

00:25:09.120 couple of weeks, not putting concrete in the hole to pressurize it. We're going to leverage

00:25:13.840 that, make an extra billion dollars. So we don't care. You're ordered to do it. And so the engineer

00:25:19.040 said, we'll do a stress test and just test what you said for a few minutes. They did the stress

00:25:24.920 test, didn't blow up, turned it off. Just the stress test hours later blew it up and killed a

00:25:30.880 bunch of people and the biggest wall spill in history. And I don't think I know, I've talked a lot

00:25:35.480 of insiders. It's that corporate attitude of people in London and Houston telling engineers

00:25:41.100 on an oil drilling platform with 40 foot thousand deep well into the biggest reserve they ever found.

00:25:47.140 You don't need to follow math. You just go ahead and do whatever you want. And I think that's the

00:25:51.740 perfect allegory on an even bigger scale of where we are. We have reached lunatic level bizarreness

00:25:58.720 from the ruling class. No question about it. And anyone who pays attention

00:26:04.160 to the stock market, for example, has to be struck by the fact that we're $34 trillion

00:26:09.720 in debt. We've got $2 trillion in annual deficits. We have another almost $10 trillion in external debt.

00:26:20.320 Then we also have the Federal Reserve with another $8 trillion on its balance sheet that has to be

00:26:25.620 worked off. And meanwhile, you look over to CNBC or Fox Business or whomever,

00:26:32.220 and you and you see these these these sell side personalities saying, you know, you've got to buy

00:26:39.460 you've got to be X, B, Y Chinese stocks by the dozens. They're pushing American investment and savings

00:26:48.420 into the Chinese economy, which is madness in of itself. It's remarkable. 1.00

00:26:56.300 Which is, as you know, is imploding. I mean, I'm not a business expert like you, but I watch it.

00:27:00.280 I'm like, wait, China's imploding. Why am I watching CNBC and it's almost all go to China?

00:27:05.460 Like, I'm on a rocket scientist, Lou, but am I right? That's really bad advice. I mean,

00:27:09.240 this makes Kramer look like a good guy.

00:27:12.480 Well, you know, Kramer is a good guy. But the fact is, he's also a corporatist guy. And that's

00:27:18.720 his world. And that's understandable. But here's the real deal. This is the world we all live in.

00:27:23.760 And it matters where we put our money and it matters where we invest our money and it matters

00:27:28.760 where we put our plants, because the simplest truth that is in manufacturing is that the greatest

00:27:34.180 innovation, the greatest inventions have to be in proximity to markets and the plants that

00:27:42.260 fabricate whatever the product may be, whether it's a car, whether it is advanced technology.

00:27:49.040 And those that don't know, you can have the best technology ever. But if you don't have

00:27:51.600 infrastructure to do it, you don't have it. And if you don't have it in proximity to your

00:27:55.660 market, you're even dumber. And guess what? You hear that crying? That's all those people

00:28:01.440 who invested in those global supply chains that screw up nearly every business in this

00:28:05.840 country. We're paying a horrible price for it. And we're a more dependent nation as a

00:28:10.020 result. So let me ask you, though. I mean, I see what's happening in China. It looks really

00:28:13.940 bad. I know that'll drag us down partially. We're pivoting to India. But how can they be on 1.00

00:28:19.560 CNBC and Bloomberg advising people to go to China? I'm not the big business guru like you,

00:28:25.260 but that sounds like really bad advice. Well, it's not only, you know, it's just advice.

00:28:31.400 And the fact is, if you're a corporatist, it's wonderful advice. If you're a populist,

00:28:36.060 it sucks. I mean, let's be straightforward about it. It's a terrible thing for this country not to

00:28:41.380 even be having the conversation about building plants, as Donald Trump said when he said he's going

00:28:47.480 to bring back all the outsourced jobs, all of the plants back to America. There's so many out

00:28:51.780 there, it's going to take years to bring them home. But if we don't, we're going to pay an even

00:28:56.560 heavier price. So let me ask you this, because I know you're interviewing me, but it's true.

00:29:01.900 You're smarter than me when it comes to business. What is your dead reckoning? Because I'm going to

00:29:07.280 air this on my show. You told me during the break of good. So I'm going to air it a couple of days.

00:29:10.400 What is your dead reckoning? Because I'm trying to tell my family. They're concerned.

00:29:13.640 I don't know. I'm pretty smart. I don't know what's going to happen financially. That's the

00:29:18.080 one area. I'm pretty good at other predictions, but I'm like a blind bat when it comes to finance

00:29:23.180 and the economy and the Federal Reserve and inflation. I mean, what do you, just in a summation,

00:29:27.920 really things going on, Lou Dobbs? Well, in summation, and you're ending this with a very good

00:29:35.780 question. And the reality is no one knows the answer to it, because the complexity of this

00:29:40.860 globalist economy that we've constructed, the derivatives alone are exponentially greater than

00:29:48.680 the physical economy. And the physical economy is right now, there's a veil between, a veil, a curtain,

00:29:55.520 maybe even an iron curtain between investors and savers, taxpayers and working people,

00:30:03.240 and the financial structure that is the lifeblood of it all. It is right now such a complicated

00:30:11.380 economy. For example, in China, we don't know if their GDP goes up 5% or 10%, whatever they say,

00:30:17.640 that's what it is, because there is no clarity. And right now, there is no clarity on what they're

00:30:22.960 saying. There's such a black box with derivatives in China. That's what it looks like to me is like

00:30:27.960 with St. Bankman Frye or anybody. They don't even know. The Federal Reserve is like, oh, inflation

00:30:33.240 is down. No, it's up. Oh, we're in a raise, raise lower. To me, it looks like they don't know what

00:30:37.600 they're doing. They know what they're doing. They just don't care about the consequences.

00:30:44.060 And that's the chief difference. And by the way, that sounds like a political economy, doesn't it?

00:30:48.240 Because our politicians are thinking the same way as the oligarchs and the corporatists.

00:30:53.440 So they're backing up their investments in China and other places at the detriment of

00:30:58.200 Americans. Oftentimes, without question, and certainly to their own benefit. But that's 1.00

00:31:04.960 the beauty of capitalism, raw, unfettered capitalism, laissez-faire capitalism.

00:31:09.840 Adam Smith.

00:31:10.260 Take no responsibility for the consequences of your actions so long as they drive profits.

00:31:16.920 A true capitalist takes responsibility and understands the impact of society

00:31:22.160 and to all of its stakeholders or her stakeholders. And that is that was that was America 1980,

00:31:28.940 1990. Well, Henry Ford, Henry Ford was unleashed. I'm interrupting. Sorry, go ahead.

00:31:34.520 No, I you were saying 1980 unleashed. Say it again.

00:31:38.420 Well, I'm saying to you that we had a compassionate conservatism. We had a concerned capitalism

00:31:45.880 and a responsible capitalism. What we're witnessing today is a mad rush to unexpected, unknown and

00:31:54.120 unpredictable consequences. Take, for example, the investments in China. It could be a black hole.

00:32:01.160 It could also be a fountain of capital. We don't know the answer. Everyone pretends they do.

00:32:07.920 Take our artificial intelligence. We don't know whether the extension of artificial intelligence

00:32:12.660 is an extraordinarily efficient and utopian world for all of us in it or whether there will be no room

00:32:20.060 for us in any of what is transhumanism and a world that is dominated by machines rather than

00:32:29.220 something quite called a human. Absolutely. It's just an incredible moment to be alive. And

00:32:36.580 it makes my head spin because there's so many, like you said, so many variables going into it. And

00:32:44.260 it seems like the establishment only thinks first or second order. They're not thinking out further

00:32:49.180 what it's going to do. Yeah. And they also and I've just been given a signal that this is your last

00:32:56.380 question on your show. But the reality is that right now, this is a country with so many problems,

00:33:05.480 desperate problems in terms of how we're going to live. And you mentioned your children and mine

00:33:10.520 and grandchildren. In my case, you know, we have a great investment in their prospects in their future.

00:33:17.080 And this nation's, I think, destiny is the way I look at this country's future. It is a destiny.

00:33:22.920 But only if we ourselves live up to the principles of our founders and those philosophers

00:33:29.240 and patriots who made it possible. Alex Jones, I want to get graded on my last answer.

00:33:36.760 I insist you've been asking all the I have to get an A. It's A through F.

00:33:41.160 Well, I'm interesting. I'm interesting, but you're even more interesting. It's true. And I'm going to

00:33:45.080 air this on my show. And you need to come on my show as soon as you can. It's been 10 years.

00:33:49.880 Gut level, just, you know, pass the business expert and journalist, talk show host to grandpa.

00:33:55.080 Well, when I look at my children and they're getting old enough to get together and get

00:33:59.960 married and have kids, it makes me physically sick because I love them so much. And they're

00:34:04.680 the only investment that matters. And I just gut level look everything. Trump's not perfect,

00:34:08.920 but I can just feel Trump is going to protect their future. Just gut level, not as intellectual.

00:34:14.280 I just want Trump. And because the end of the day, I have all the math, the numbers. He's a good guy.

00:34:18.920 He means well. He agrees with us on most things. But gut level, obviously better than Michelle Obama 0.58

00:34:24.600 or Gavin Newsom or Biden or any of them. We need Trump. Gut level, do you think Trump can make it

00:34:32.120 through all this and get in? A and B, what can we do to get him in? Well, the answer is he has to get

00:34:38.600 in. He is committed to that. I wish that more Americans were as committed as he to his leadership

00:34:45.400 and to this great nation. The MAGA world, all of us deplorables, America first, we're going to be

00:34:53.880 there. But we've got to do even more than just vote for him. We've got to be part of our community.

00:34:58.520 We've got to be in those precincts and we have got to be watching and we've got to be doing and

00:35:02.920 we've got to be telling anybody who doesn't want our eyes on them, go to hell. I'll be right here

00:35:09.560 watching over our democracy. And you just step aside. That's where we have to be.

00:35:15.720 And from there, I think we start to see excellent results if we are living our lives in our

00:35:20.520 communities and taking charge of our communities rather than letting this world wash over us in

00:35:26.360 terms of big questions and nonsense spewed by the propagandists that we call a government spokesman.

00:35:35.080 Well, I know one thing for sure in closing, thanks for having me on,

00:35:38.360 is that we're not living in boring times. Anybody that says I'm bored is not paying attention.

00:35:43.480 We are in extremely dangerous, but also very opportune times where the Chinese say, 1.00

00:35:49.560 may you live in interesting times. That's a double meaning.
