Hello, everybody. I'm Lou Dobbs and welcome to The Great America Show. Thanks for joining us.
00:01:23.300
The question today is, is Mike Johnson a Manchurian Speaker of the House? Who is he? What is
00:01:31.320
happening right now in Congress is deadly serious. The Speaker of the House is at the center of a
00:01:37.240
building firestorm in the Republican Conference. Johnson's leadership under scrutiny is one thing,
00:01:43.580
his integrity another, and it is very much under scrutiny. If not in fact, now obvious. We'll soon
00:01:51.380
see how this firestorm resolves and whether we have a republic after all. The issue is urgent. It seems
00:01:58.920
to me critical. Reauthorizing Section 702 of FISA to preserve the corrupt FBI and DOJ's power to spy on
00:02:08.740
Americans on our Congress and Senate. If so, the federal government has declared war on us,
00:02:15.120
the people, and on our Constitution. This appears to be a capitulation by Speaker Johnson
00:02:21.820
to extend FISA surveillance reauthorization to April of 2025. Among others, Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan
00:02:31.060
is warned that he can't support the inclusion of FISA and Section 702 in the must-pass National Defense
00:02:38.960
Authorization Act, the so-called NDAA. Congressman Andy Biggs is demanding that Johnson bring the House
00:02:46.580
Judiciary Bill entitled End Warrantless Surveillance to the floor of the House for a vote. This seems to me
00:02:54.320
to be another step by Speaker Johnson to fashion an alliance with the Marxist Dems, the deep state,
00:03:00.720
and the Biden regime itself. I see this as further weaponization of the entire federal government
00:03:07.660
against us, the people. This is a congressional declaration of war against citizens. It is
00:03:14.880
shocking to think Congress, while preparing to impeach a corrupt president who is the puppet of the
00:03:20.440
Marxist Dems and the deep state, could reauthorize the very law that's been abused for years,
00:03:26.660
particularly to subvert Donald Trump's presidency and to steal his re-election. This is utter madness,
00:03:34.600
and it is evil holding sway. The Marxist Dems' persecution of Donald Trump is now in its eighth
00:03:40.880
year, and President Trump will be back in a courtroom in New York Monday, testifying in the final day of
00:03:48.180
the trial. A trial that's been a circus, a fraud committed by the deep state. Our guest today is
00:03:54.800
attorney Alina Habba, spokeswoman for President Trump and his legal team. Alina, the other Trump
00:04:01.760
attorneys, and President Trump himself are all under gag order. It is outrageous by any, any consideration.
00:04:09.940
Alina, thanks for being with us. The president has acted with great restraint, with patience,
00:04:14.700
with class. I can't say the same for the judge. Not a reasonable man, to say the least. How do you
00:04:22.160
feel about where the president's case is? Next week it ends. How do you feel about the president's defense?
00:04:28.920
I think we're in really good shape in terms of our fight, in terms of the constitutional basis
00:04:36.000
behind what we're doing. The problem that we have along all fronts is that politics have permeated
00:04:44.020
our judicial system. And, you know, there's not really a cure for that. And I think that's our
00:04:49.860
biggest hurdle right now. He has a campaign that he needs to attend, and they're clearly tying him up
00:04:56.740
intentionally so that he isn't out in states that he needs to be in and that he's sitting in court.
00:05:03.320
So outside of the general witch hunt election interference issue, legally, you know, we've been
00:05:10.200
tackling each case methodically. We have great defenses on all fronts, and we'll keep pushing
00:05:16.740
as much as we can. And push and push and push. It's amazing what these special counsels are doing,
00:05:25.560
particularly Jack Smith. I refer to him on this show as a junkyard jackal. He is nothing more than an
00:05:36.260
activist. He has been slapped down by judges in these proceedings for evidentiary reasons, trying to
00:05:44.500
bring evidence for charges that weren't made, trying to hide evidence from the defense and keep it from
00:05:51.700
President Trump. I mean, how much more of this nonsense? I mean, this is just raw ignorance on
00:05:58.800
the part of Jack Smith, and no one seems to be calling him on it. I think that the media is to
00:06:05.200
some regard, but I agree with you. I think that's a problem that we have on a lot of cases that we have
00:06:10.660
here, not just Jack Smith. But if you look at Fannie, you look at Letitia James, you know, I'm currently
00:06:17.300
on trial in New York on that. That's closing soon. We have a lot of that. And I'm not, you know,
00:06:23.800
these are Soros-backed politicians wearing lawyer, you know, costumes, effectively. And when the judges
00:06:33.940
aren't stopping them and calling them out, like you said, then we have problems. The good thing is
00:06:39.760
there's so many levels of appeal. The problem is that nobody should have to go through that.
00:06:44.140
You shouldn't have to keep going through hoops and hoops and hoops when you have corruption
00:06:47.920
coming out of these prosecutors and DAs and all of that. It's just wrong. And we have to remember,
00:06:55.500
special prosecutors ultimately report to the AG who ultimately reports to the president. And
00:07:00.940
it's 100% a politically motivated scenario. I mean, just look at the selection of Hunter Biden's
00:07:08.520
special, quote unquote, prosecutor. He's a guy that's in bed with them, right? So
00:07:12.980
it's crazy what I'm seeing. I've never seen anything like it. Never seen anything like it.
00:07:18.640
And has been working, what, five years. And it's a so-called investigation, both FBI and IRS.
00:07:26.700
David Weiss, I mean, this is a stunning moment in history. When we look at what has happened to the
00:07:33.780
federal, both the court system and the prosecutors. And in the backdrop, there is January 6th and the
00:07:41.400
political prisoners of the Marxist left in this country, all of whom have been overcharged by
00:07:47.620
prosecutors, federal prosecutors, nearly all of them, nearly all of them over-sentenced.
00:07:53.680
It is, and not one case has yet made it to the Supreme Court in nearly three years. Does that just
00:07:59.660
stun you? It does, actually. I mean, it's something beyond what I thought I would see
00:08:06.420
in this country. And I honestly do think that America gets it. I think, you know, people don't
00:08:12.120
realize I get stopped all the time now. And they say to me, I was not going to vote for Trump. I didn't
00:08:18.100
like whatever. But now I think if we don't get him in, we're in trouble. And that's something I've
00:08:26.060
seen consistently. And I hear every single day. They've taken everything too far. There are people
00:08:33.260
that have done no crimes that have been sitting in solitary confinement on something that they just
00:08:38.900
can't even get due process on. And it's unconstitutional. It's frightening. But more importantly,
00:08:45.340
it's motivating those that were undecided, those that were leaning left, but not sure, even those that
00:08:52.360
were right, but not on Team Trump. And I've seen that firsthand. And I think the poll numbers, if you
00:08:57.180
look at them, speak volumes. The world is seeing it. You know, the world is seeing it. They've gone
00:09:02.920
too far. But the Trump derangement, Lou, is so severe that they can't help themselves. And that's the
00:09:10.620
truth. Even when it hurts them, they can't help themselves.
00:09:14.600
I think you're exactly right. And we're going to take up more with Alina Hava, President's Attorney.
00:09:20.060
Stay with us. We'll be right back after these quick thoughts.
00:09:29.260
We're talking with Alina Hava. Welcome back, the President's Attorney. And we're talking about
00:09:34.760
what has happened to the court system. And I don't know how I don't want to put you in a difficult
00:09:40.260
position, but I'll just say to see what has become of the federal judiciary, the federal prosecutors,
00:09:46.120
the state of actually the legal profession itself right now. I really fear for the country.
00:09:54.820
And most of all, because of what they're doing to one president over the course of eight years,
00:10:00.420
which is politically persecuted through lawfare of various sorts and kinds, but ultimately just
00:10:11.180
It's targeting. It's election interference. It's not America. And we're running out of time to fix it.
00:10:18.520
But that's really my thoughts. I really persuade anybody who does have a law degree
00:10:23.500
to take it seriously and not put politics in front of it. You know, I'm a spokeswoman for a president,
00:10:31.680
but I'm a lawyer. And when I'm in court, I have to act and abide ethically and by the rules that I
00:10:38.600
swore to. That has nothing to do with politics. I might be politically outside, but you can't do it
00:10:44.040
inside. And if I'm able to do that, anybody can. And it's a demise of our country and our
00:10:49.280
constitution. It's a demise of my profession to have people unable to detach themselves from this
00:10:57.160
extreme political toxicity right now. And it's sad because I always say we used to be able to
00:11:04.200
discuss things, have different opinions, but nobody was persecuted and prosecuted like this.
00:11:08.940
I mean, they're not even attacking him. They attack anybody that goes near him, you know,
00:11:12.340
in an effort to deter people from defending him and avoid his Sixth Amendment right. You know,
00:11:18.240
there's a lot of issues that are so crazy to me. You know, we've got somebody getting arrested.
00:11:24.400
You know, I hate to bring up Hunter again, but they're trying to subpoena DJT on something that
00:11:29.500
Hunter did with getting a gun and use that somehow as an opportunity to dig into the president. I've
00:11:35.360
never seen a more cockamamie thing in my life, but that's how political we are.
00:11:41.240
You're talking about Abby Lowell, the attorney putting forward that, the very thought of it,
00:11:47.100
they've got their dates wrong. They've got, it is really a sloppy performance on the part of an
00:11:53.120
attorney, Abby Lowell, who's considered to be a powerhouse, at least in Washington, D.C.,
00:11:58.240
when defending criminal Democrats. Is that, I don't know if that's a redundancy or not.
00:12:05.400
I'd be sanctioned. I'd be sanctioned, ethical violations, investigated. I mean,
00:12:11.520
that's the double standard I can't tolerate anymore. You know, you don't even have to be
00:12:16.320
the president. You could just be representing the president. And you, you know, sue somebody on a
00:12:21.740
Russia hoax and all of a sudden you get sanctioned for even trying to bring light to something that
00:12:27.080
we know happened. I mean, it's crazy. That's the world will end. And then Abby Lowell can just go
00:12:32.960
haywire and nobody's going to do anything. There'll be no repercussions. You know, it's very unfortunate.
00:12:39.020
I want to get your sense, if we can, just broadly appealing the gag order in federal court, appealing the
00:12:45.340
gag order in the New York Superior Court, Ingeron and his case. Your thoughts about that, the Letitia
00:12:53.300
James role. Give us a sense of how it all stands right now. Sure. Well, currently, I do have a gag
00:13:01.000
order against myself, our team and the president to not speak about individuals, you know, at all that
00:13:09.440
are on staff. There has been an appeal of that. We are appealing the appeal for some, you know,
00:13:20.840
you have to ask for leave basically to revisit the issue because the appellate division thought it was
00:13:26.080
okay. We obviously saw January 6th gag order. This is a new form, in my opinion, of lawfare and First
00:13:33.440
Amendment violations. So you take a leading candidate, you take a spokeswoman, you take his
00:13:38.380
legal team, they're not allowed to object and state things on the record and make a record.
00:13:42.660
I mean, what is more crazy than that to have your attorney and your spokesperson and a leading
00:13:49.160
candidate unable to speak about certain issues? So you silence them. And it's become effectively a
00:13:55.240
new trend among these AGs and DAs and judges is, oh, let's just silence him. But if you think about it,
00:14:01.760
there's no jury in the Letitia James case. So silencing us is really not about tainting a jury.
00:14:08.460
It's just about First Amendment violations, right? It's just about silence because we're not in the
00:14:14.520
media saying things that a jury might hear. We have no jury. We have a judge. And so that's thrown out
00:14:20.620
the window. So there's only one reason this keeps happening. And that is because of fear, because he is
00:14:26.140
doing incredibly well and because truth will set you free. But if you cannot speak your truth,
00:14:31.500
if your lawyers can't speak your truth and can't tell the public what's actually happening,
00:14:36.140
well, effectively, we're a banana republic. And it's like being in a dictatorship.
00:14:40.760
You're silenced. It's no different than what we see, you know, in China. You know, they monitor what
00:14:46.300
you see and what you can't see and your phones and your everything. It's silencing us through the
00:14:51.020
media and through the legal system, which is supposed to be where we get our chance to prove
00:14:56.640
ourselves. Right. So it's beyond a First Amendment violation on all these fronts and
00:15:01.580
all these cases. But the Letitia James case is coming to an end next week. And, you know,
00:15:07.180
like I said, we kind of know how that one's going to fall because we've seen what's happened
00:15:11.020
in that courtroom and with that judge. And we're kind of just, you know, making our record
00:15:15.220
and we'll take it from there. We're talking with Alina Haba. She is attorney, representative
00:15:20.480
of the president. We're coming right back after these messages. Stay with us.
00:15:30.080
We're back now talking with Alina Haba. And I want to turn to first the idea of these gag orders,
00:15:36.740
because we have seen whether it's Tanya Chutkin, the federal district court judge in D.C.,
00:15:42.680
whether, unfortunately, you can name almost any judge, whether local, state or federal,
00:15:49.340
that they've behaved badly, to say the very least. There are a couple of exceptions.
00:15:55.820
When will we, do you think, get any spark of interest from the Supreme Court to say to the
00:16:04.000
judiciary, for over which the chief justice is responsible, the federal judiciary, that this is
00:16:09.260
bad behavior, it's lawfare, it's ignorance, and it's time has come to end. Do you think there's
00:16:16.080
any prospect of that? I don't doubt that I will be in front of the Supreme Court soon.
00:16:23.040
I do not doubt that one of these cases, we will go up the chain and we will be there. I do not doubt
00:16:30.860
that. I have my license to be heard in front of the Supreme Court and I intend to use it. You know,
00:16:35.880
the end of the day, we will not sit back. And we are learning from and being seen a great example
00:16:43.380
through the president, President Trump, meaning not the sitting resident. President Trump has shown
00:16:49.160
us resilience and has shown us that you have to have faith in the country. Even when you think
00:16:53.160
your faith is wavering, you've got to keep fighting. And hopefully we will get to a tribunal that will be
00:17:00.700
able to enforce order and law the way we've had in the past. The country used to be great in that way.
00:17:08.600
I don't have a loss of hope because he hasn't lost hope. And that's why I think he's doing what he's
00:17:13.480
doing. So I have no question that it'll happen. I assume it'll happen within the next year
00:17:17.740
with all these decisions. Unfortunately, the system is, as you know, Lou, we have to go up the chain.
00:17:23.100
You can't just jump up. We will jump up if needed. But we're doing things in a respectful manner,
00:17:28.980
as we always do, and going through the legal system and whatever's left of it.
00:17:32.980
It seems to me that there should be an intercision or an intervention by the court in some fashion
00:17:41.600
to prevent election interference on its face. That's what this is. It's a concerted act.
00:17:48.980
We have the evidence in front of us. They haven't been exactly subtle about it. Jack Smith
00:17:53.760
has been particularly upfront about his political motivations, as well as Judge Chutkin and others.
00:18:04.500
It just seems there's a basis right now for the chief justice to act. Is there no way in which
00:18:15.440
There is. There is. And we're working on it. And obviously, I can't, you know, speak to privileged
00:18:21.180
conversations and plans. But all I can tell you is, if there's anything that I can assure the
00:18:27.460
American people that are behind Trump is that his lawyers are behind you and the country. And I can
00:18:33.060
speak for myself. I'm very proud of the work that we're doing. And I think that these challenging
00:18:38.160
times can either make us or break us. And I hope that it'll make our country great again. I really do.
00:18:42.880
I think that, you know, there's not anything or any bit of information people give us in terms of
00:18:49.500
ideas and strategy that we don't take into consideration. But we have an incredibly brilliant team
00:18:54.560
in many states that we work with. We're working hard and we're going to help the president straighten
00:19:01.080
this out in whatever way we can do. And I know I for certain them. So, you know, unfortunately, I can't get
00:19:06.700
into much more detail than that. But I assure you that if there is a claim, we will bring it. If there is a way
00:19:12.600
that we can fix it through the courts, we will do so.
00:19:15.300
Elena Hamba, we thank you for all you're doing for the president, for the country. And I think that the outcome
00:19:21.860
of all of this will determine the future of this republic and whether we have a republic at all. I think it's that
00:19:28.680
straightforward. Either President Trump and the country prevails or the republic, we finally lose it.
00:19:35.720
So, Elena Hamba, thanks for your message of hope as well. We can all use it in these trying times.
00:19:45.660
Thanks, Elena. And best of luck to President Trump.
00:19:48.660
Thanks, everybody. Tomorrow, our guest will be Roger Stone, Republican strategist,
00:19:52.900
WABC radio host, advisor to President Trump on all the madness and the evil that has been arrayed
00:19:59.200
against President Trump. Please join us tomorrow. Thanks. God bless you. And may God bless America.
