00:01:18.340 Hello, everybody. I'm Lou Dobbs and welcome to The Great America Show. Thanks for being with us.
00:01:27.920 The Marxist Dems are throwing everything they can at President Trump, trying to prevent his
00:01:32.720 re-election. From local Soros-sponsored prosecutors to special counsels, and in every case, there's also
00:01:39.500 a radical Democrat presiding as judge. All to interfere with the Trump campaign that has President
00:01:46.500 Trump 40 to 50 points ahead of his challengers. Again, the Marxist Dems doing everything they can
00:01:53.160 to block Trump's return to the presidency and to support President Biden in what looks to be an
00:01:59.360 uphill battle for his re-election, even if he does win re-nomination. And a trial started this week in a
00:02:06.820 Denver courtroom to keep President Trump off the ballot in the state of Colorado. The liberal watchdog
00:02:13.280 group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington filed that lawsuit on behalf of six
00:02:19.760 Colorado residents to keep Trump off the 2024 ballot for his role on January 6th, that under 150-year-old
00:02:29.820 Civil War provision of the 14th Amendment that bars people who engaged in insurrection or rebellion
00:02:36.600 from holding office. That's right. It's a provision pertaining to the Civil War. This is only the
00:02:44.440 latest effort by the Marxist Dems to stop Trump because they can't beat him at the polls. Take a
00:02:50.320 listen to Melanie Sloan. She is the founding executive director of the organization Running the Whole
00:02:57.360 Scheme. She admitted on camera just a few months ago who is actually funding the operation. Guess who it is
00:03:05.260 behind the effort? Who are some of the biggest donors you have? And is there a restriction on how much
00:03:10.180 money they can give you? We don't have any restriction, but I would say our biggest donors
00:03:15.660 are, for example, the Open Society Institute is a very big donor. And whose organization is that?
00:03:25.140 Well, it's a foundation, but it's well known to be George Soros is the one who funds it. The Wallace
00:03:31.440 Global Fund gives us money. The ARCA Foundation gives us money. Those are some of the big foundations
00:03:38.260 where Carnegie Corporation gives us money. You do see a thread through the different
00:03:42.760 sides in this where a big donor like George Soros will give to an awful lot of progressive
00:03:46.940 organizations. Does he ever ask for anything directly? No, and I have met him, and he's never
00:03:52.460 asked for anything at all. And I meet with the program officer from the Open Society Institute,
00:03:58.080 and they're very happy with what we do, and they're very keen on transparency. We're part
00:04:03.300 of their democracy program. You heard that right. None other than George Soros, the man behind the
00:04:08.680 root of almost all evil in American politics and much of the evil in the world as well. A similar
00:04:15.860 lawsuit was filed in New Hampshire earlier this year, by the way, but the judge dismissed the case
00:04:21.460 stating that the 14th Amendment claim is a, quote, non-justiciable political question, end quote.
00:04:30.140 President Trump has never been convicted of insurrection. He was acquitted by the Senate of
00:04:34.980 charges of engaging in insurrection. So the case is likely to end up on the Supreme Court docket,
00:04:41.600 if not dismissed outright beforehand. Turning now to a truly corrupt president who is arguably guilty of
00:04:48.780 treason. Puppet president Joe Biden, the National Archives, locating 82,000 pages of emails that Joe
00:04:57.540 Biden sent or received during his time as vice president on three private alias accounts. Those
00:05:05.080 aliases, robinware466 at gmail, jrbware gmail.com, and robertlpeters at pcigov. The emails were located
00:05:17.960 after a FOIA request from the non-profit law firm Southeastern Legal Foundation. This latest FOIA makes
00:05:25.880 Hillary Clinton's 55,000 pages and 30,000 emails, private emails, look like child's play. Clinton was
00:05:34.880 ultimately cleared of any wrongdoing by the former FBI director, the corrupt James Comey. We'll see if
00:05:42.460 Chris Wray gives Biden the same courtesy as President Trump gets the book thrown at him and a lot of
00:05:48.820 stuff that's not in the book. Turning now to the Israel-Hamas war, an Israeli government ministry has
00:05:56.440 drafted a wartime proposal to transfer more than two million people from the Gaza Strip to Egypt's
00:06:03.200 Sinai Peninsula. The head of the Palestinians said this is a red line and they will not support the
00:06:09.120 transfer of any form to happen. This poses a big problem for the people of Gaza. Prime Minister
00:06:15.980 Netanyahu seems to be only getting started on his ground assault in Gaza. He talked to the press
00:06:22.060 yesterday. He said there will be no ceasefire whatsoever with Hamas. He said this is a war and
00:06:27.720 Israel will win the war. He said if Israel were to give in, Hamas and the Iranian axis of evil 0.81
00:06:35.020 would win. And if they win, the Israelis would be next. 1.00
00:06:40.880 I want to make clear Israel's position regarding a ceasefire. Just as the United States would not
00:06:46.760 agree to a ceasefire after the bombing of Pearl Harbor or after the terrorist attack of 9-11,
00:06:53.440 Israel will not agree to a cessation of hostilities with Hamas after the horrific attacks of October 7th.
00:06:59.260 Calls for a ceasefire are calls for Israel to surrender to Hamas, to surrender to terrorism,
00:07:07.800 to surrender to barbarism. That will not happen. Ladies and gentlemen, the Bible says that there
00:07:16.160 is a time for peace and a time for war. This is a time for war, a war for our common future. 0.92
00:07:23.220 Today, we draw a line between the forces of civilization and the forces of barbarism.
00:07:29.720 It is a time for everyone to decide where they stand. Israel will stand against the forces of
00:07:36.220 barbarism until victory. I hope and pray that civilized nations everywhere will back this fight.
00:07:44.160 Because Israel's fight is your fight. Because if Hamas and Iran's axis of evil win, 0.99
00:07:49.920 you will be their next target. That's why Israel's victory will be your victory. But make no mistake, 0.99
00:07:58.380 regardless of who stands with Israel, Israel will fight until this battle is won. 0.71
00:08:04.140 Godspeed to the great people of Israel and in the battle against evil, evil must be defeated,
00:08:09.800 whether in Gaza or here at home. Our guest today to take up all of this and more
00:08:15.520 is senior fellow at the Heritage Institute, Mike Gonzalez. And Mike, it's great to have you with
00:08:21.000 us. I have to say, I am just, I'm stunned at the level of radical activism that has put so many
00:08:27.700 anti-Semites and pro-Palestinians in our streets, protesting Israel. I never imagined we'd see this many
00:08:36.040 in the streets and on college campuses.
00:08:38.600 And let's not forget what they're defending. They're defending gang rape of women, the gang
00:08:47.140 rape of Jewish women who were then mutilated, spat upon and paraded, their bodies were, and the mass
00:08:54.240 murder of hundreds, 1400 Jews, the largest killing of Jews since the Holocaust. This is what the killing 0.93
00:09:03.600 of babies. They put a baby in an oven and baked them. This is what these defenders, these protesters
00:09:12.100 are defending, is this pure, unadulterated evil. And that is why most Americans are watching this
00:09:21.480 and they have realized, the realization has dawned upon them that people who have been writing about
00:09:27.000 this for years have been right, that we have hired, we have handed the keys to society to really bad
00:09:34.040 people, to far-left doctrinators who want to indoctrinate our children and have done a very
00:09:42.040 good job of doing so. And now it's apparent, finally. It took a massacre in the Holy Land.
00:09:47.680 It is awful. It's more than tragedy. And it's appalling the way we have seen these anti-Israeli
00:09:59.440 forces, pro-Palestinian, if you will, forces manifest themselves. Suddenly, it's a breakout of what
00:10:07.820 we knew it was evil, what was happening with the Black Lives Matter, the left-wing radicalism on our 0.84
00:10:16.920 campuses and throughout our country, even now in our corporations, for crying out loud, and our
00:10:23.880 government. It is a disturbing moment in our history because apparently we have, as Henry Kissinger said
00:10:32.840 a few weeks ago, we have underestimated the degree to which we made a mistake when we brought in all of
00:10:38.720 these cultures, all of these antithetical belief systems to our own. He was talking about Europe, 0.91
00:10:46.480 but it applies as well here, doesn't it?
00:10:49.780 Yeah, and that's a, when you, so America has always, I've studied this, America's demography has always
00:10:56.240 churned, right? In the 1850s, one quarter of New York City was born in Ireland. The difference back then 0.80
00:11:03.800 was that you had, for example, the common schools in the east, which then migrated west after the war with
00:11:10.240 Mexico 1948 to Americanize the immigrants, to assimilate them. By assimilation, we mean to teach
00:11:18.360 them American norms, to teach them American traditions, what is great about this country,
00:11:23.500 and also where we have fallen short, how we reacted to falling short. And that is, of course, has been
00:11:30.900 largely absent today because the left no longer wants to do that. The left was, what they want to do is
00:11:37.200 create grievances, have these groups seething with grievances. They do the opposite. In fact,
00:11:43.280 the Secretary of Education, Miguel Cardona, was tweeting yesterday about how awful he felt when he
00:11:49.340 was a little boy in schools and the teachers called him Michael. And it's like, really, is this what you
00:11:55.020 want to now? I emphasize you, the Secretary of Education, you're using your platform to create
00:12:00.160 grievances. So now the chickens are coming home to roost. And by the way, they can't no longer say
00:12:06.980 that they're defending that they're anti-Israel, not anti-Semitic. If you saw what they posted in
00:12:12.280 Cornell yesterday, it was vile, anti-Jewish language. Not anti-Israel, anti-Jewish, the things they
00:12:21.800 promised to do to Jewish women, to Jewish men. And with regards to Black Lives Matter, I wrote a book 0.50
00:12:27.980 about it, BLM, The Making of the New Marxist Revolution. And I laid it all out. I said, 0.70
00:12:32.860 these groups were founded by people who come out of the vast, far-left international global network.
00:12:43.580 They were recruited and trained and funded by people who took part in the Weather Underground,
00:12:49.760 a terrorist group, as you know, in the 1960s and 70s. I laid it all out. And the American media,
00:12:55.280 not only did they not do the due diligence in vetting, this is all public access, public source
00:13:02.100 information. They go after people like me because where I'm doing the vetting and the due diligence
00:13:10.180 that the American media refused to do. So I really, Lou, I don't really see an alternative for Congress
00:13:17.220 to investigate these groups that caused between $1 and $2 billion in damage. They led to a huge spike
00:13:24.200 in the murder rate after 2020. And we need to find out what their intentions were.
00:13:32.340 Isn't it interesting that we have a Congress that has not taken on the most prominent issues
00:13:40.600 dividing our society right now with its group and identity politics, whether it is
00:13:45.920 the phenomenon of Black Lives Matter. And it is certainly part of what has become a fifth column 1.00
00:13:54.300 in this country, attacking everything that is American, our values, our beliefs, systems,
00:14:01.740 you name it, our cultural norms, as you put it. It is remarkable that Congress hasn't taken on these issues
00:14:09.800 in a meaningful way, that there is no public debate about these issues. People are hushed and they're
00:14:16.880 sort of a coward amongst themselves, various groups who are afraid to take on these issues that are
00:14:25.240 affecting us profoundly right now, our culture, our society.
00:14:29.440 There's some bright lights, you know, Jim Banks of Indiana has been good, Chip Roy of Texas, very good.
00:14:37.060 There's a lot of congressmen that I just will not name, Republicans who are afraid, afraid to touch
00:14:43.180 these things. They don't want to be called racist or whatever. And they wouldn't be. They're not being racist.
00:14:49.380 This is colorblind pro-Americanism. And look, the fact that BLM is coming out supporting, defending these massacres
00:15:02.560 should be clear enough to everybody. This is why I think the huge shock that we're having as a society
00:15:08.920 repulsed by this, by these protests should serve a purpose. Let's think again about what we're doing
00:15:17.940 to our students in the K-12 system and in colleges and universities. Are they being indoctrinated to
00:15:24.500 hate America, to hate the West, to transform the country?
00:15:29.020 We're talking with Mike Gonzalez, he's senior fellow at the Heritage Institute.
00:15:33.380 We're talking about the issues that others are avoiding right now. And in particular, as Mike puts it,
00:15:40.180 too many people in Congress are, let's put it straightforwardly, they're afraid to take up these
00:15:46.720 issues at a time when this country really needs to be having an important national debate and dialogue
00:15:52.960 about all of these issues that we're taking up here today, and especially the radicalism that's on our
00:15:59.280 campuses, the anti-Semitic stream that suddenly has surfaced in this country. We're talking with
00:16:08.240 Mike Gonzalez. He's the author of BLM, The Making of a New Marxist Revolution. We're coming right back
00:16:14.280 with Mike. Stay with us. We're talking with Mike Gonzalez of the Heritage Foundation. And Mike,
00:16:24.260 I want to take up, the United Nations has now called an emergency, they called an emergency
00:16:30.000 Security Council meeting to talk about a ceasefire in Gaza between the Israelis and Hamas.
00:16:37.940 Netanyahu immediately responded, what they're calling for is a surrender by Israel to Hamas,
00:16:46.840 to terrorism. And he says, and I applaud him for immediately taking it on, it is not going to
00:16:55.480 happen. The ignorance right now of the United Nations, it's a radical institution now. There's
00:17:03.520 no, there's really no orthodoxy or shared values that sustains it. There is the relic of a past
00:17:11.800 where people were concerned about world peace. They shared a view toward democracies. And now
00:17:19.220 democracies are the enemy and nothing could be more the enemy than the United States.
00:17:24.560 I think the United Nations is at best a gap fest that accomplishes nothing. At worst, it is an 1.00
00:17:33.020 incubator of evil regimes. It justifies their existence. It puts Cuba and Libya on the Human 0.99
00:17:41.180 Rights Council. It takes these votes against Israel and for Cuba. It just, and of course, 0.65
00:17:51.240 it's got its 20, 30 goals, which is a way to really take governance from the people and give
00:17:59.200 it to a technocratic bureaucracy that is not elected and not accountable. The United Nations
00:18:06.860 really, I actually, I personally would love to see us get out. There's no reason for us to be there
00:18:13.700 that we could start a, start a group, a grouping of freedom loving nations, of nations that are
00:18:21.840 democratic, capitalist. But the, I don't, I don't see any good right now for us to be in the United
00:18:27.640 Nations. Having to listen to Antonio Guterres, the lecturers on climate change, on, on, on, on, on,
00:18:36.660 on how to live our lives. Who gave him? Who voted for Antonio Guterres? I mean, he was prime minister
00:18:43.320 of Portugal for a time. Maybe the people of Portugal voted for him to be, to be in the position he was,
00:18:48.860 but who, who, why is he secretary general of the United Nations?
00:18:52.900 And he is, he is, he runs so hot and cold on the issues of the day, the global issues of the day.
00:18:58.880 You never know when he'll surface, but you always know that when he does, he will be on the side of
00:19:04.460 the, of the Marxist left, a global reality, unfortunately. And it's one that's rising.
00:19:12.580 BLM in itself is, it seems to me, to me, the great mystery is that corporate America embraced 0.95
00:19:19.500 this radicalism, this Marxist radicalism that is BLM. We have, whether it's, you know, the race,
00:19:28.540 critical race theory, whether it is, uh, DI, whatever it may be, uh, has now permeated the
00:19:35.700 government, our universities, our colleges, uh, public education in, in point of fact, in too many
00:19:42.100 places, uh, K through 12. How are we to rationalize what has become of corporate America on these issues?
00:19:50.740 Yeah, they, uh, so I'm at a conference in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire right now,
00:19:54.180 and we're talking about these issues. And, uh, so to the, I have a book coming out, uh, next year
00:20:00.100 with Catherine Borca. It's on next-gen Marxism. We explained what happened to the universities,
00:20:05.380 how they were taken over in the eighties by the former sixties radicals, right? And how they took
00:20:09.560 over. They had the long march to the institutions, critical race theories created in 1989. These are
00:20:14.600 all anti-profit Marxist, cultural Marxists. They dropped the worker. The worker was a really bad
00:20:20.040 revolutionary. So they placed a locus of revolution on, on, on, on, on race and on, on, on, on immutable
00:20:27.140 characteristics. Race is immutable. Country of origin is immutable and can get, wait for it. Sex is 0.98
00:20:33.120 immutable. Um, so the things that cannot be changed, uh, ESG in corporate America is harder to
00:20:41.200 understand, right? You, we can understand. And I, my next book will really describe what happened with
00:20:46.100 the universities and with other cultural institutions. With corporations, it is harder
00:20:51.880 because the, in, in the S in ESG, ESG being environmental social governance, uh, the S and
00:20:59.080 the E are both troublesome. Uh, the S is critical race theory. It's, it's just social justice. 0.85
00:21:05.240 And that it, it, and it is anti-profit. It is anti-growth, uh, very dangerously so. Uh, it
00:21:12.180 is anti-capitalism and you wonder why corporations would embrace this, uh, and the environmental,
00:21:19.180 uh, it's just another, um, another way to go like capitalism and, and incur growth. If you
00:21:26.020 look at, for example, Eric Mann, the former terrorist, not former, you know, can you ever
00:21:30.740 be a former terrorist? They, the former weatherman, uh, who spent time in prison and then he recruited
00:21:36.680 Patrice Couleurs, the founder, one of the founders of Black Lives Matter. He trained her for
00:21:40.740 10 years. He gave an interview in 2015 to a Venezuelan television set station that that
00:21:46.960 should tell you everything you want to know, Venezuelan, the great socialist paradise. And
00:21:51.780 he said, look, whether it's sex, race or climate, this is just a little division of labor that
00:21:56.500 we have. What we want to do is destroy the white settler, oppressive state that is the 0.93
00:22:01.220 United States of America. And this is just a division of labor, whether we do it through
00:22:05.480 climate, race or sex, it doesn't matter. It's, it's what David Horowitz used to say.
00:22:09.240 Right. The issue is never the issue. The issue is the revolution. Why would corporations that
00:22:14.240 are based on the profit motive want to embrace that is mind boggling, Lou?
00:22:19.840 That it's, and I can't find a way to rationalize it, uh, except, uh, and particularly now, as you
00:22:27.320 see corporations, whether it's target, whether it is Budweiser, you name the corporation that,
00:22:35.120 uh, either attempts it successfully or not, uh, they are trying to be at the forefront of radical
00:22:42.460 ideology, driving their message and values. Uh, and, and with some considerable success,
00:22:49.900 we're starting to see a backlash, but it's not anything. Uh, the backlash is not proportionate
00:22:56.380 to the forces at work, uh, to subvert this country.
00:22:59.560 Well, I think the shock is now sitting in and I'm very hopeful that we can translate
00:23:04.300 it into a policy agenda. Um, we conservatives, uh, along with good old fashioned liberals who
00:23:10.460 may disagree with us, with you and me on taxes and government, but they draw a line, a mass
00:23:15.080 burner and gang rape. Uh, they say, no, I didn't sign up for that. Um, so when the BLM defends
00:23:21.140 that, they'll have to come to terms with what they're defending when they're defending BLM.
00:23:25.700 Uh, there's, there's a couple of plausible explanations for the corporations. One is
00:23:30.900 that the kids who have left the Ivies and the, the, the elite prestigious schools who have
00:23:35.820 been force fed and indoctrinated and now taking over the C suites and then they're bringing
00:23:40.600 their indoctrination in with them. And another is that they may think that they will benefit
00:23:45.880 the, like Amazon and, and, and, and, and, and, uh, you know, Amazon and, and, and Apple
00:23:53.040 and would really benefit from a big ginormous system of, of regulation because it raises the
00:24:00.340 entry bar, the entry, um, the entry barriers for smaller corporations where they can afford
00:24:06.260 compliance. Amazon and Apple can afford compliance. Whereas the little guy who wants to, to play
00:24:13.160 in that field cannot afford compliance. And maybe they think the, the, this huge, uh, scheme
00:24:19.400 of, uh, of regulations would benefit them and give them an advantage.
00:24:23.660 Yeah. I think you're exactly right. And we're seeing a reversal of the labor arbitrage
00:24:28.280 of the eighties and nineties, where jobs were being outsourced, particularly middle-class jobs,
00:24:33.220 uh, to, uh, cheap labor markets, uh, where they could produce goods. Uh, and so we saw jobs
00:24:39.660 outsourced and, uh, and factories and plants, uh, sent abroad rather than built here. So we saw
00:24:47.280 the loss of, and it's one of the reasons that the middle-class wages in this country have been
00:24:52.440 stagnant, uh, for 30 years until Donald Trump. And it only, that respite only lasted about four
00:24:59.140 years. Interestingly enough, uh, we're going to take a quick break here talking with Mike Gonzalez.
00:25:04.220 He is senior fellow at the heritage foundation, uh, author and, uh, journalist and, uh, and social
00:25:11.280 critic broadly society and author of the book BLM, the making of a new Marxist revolution.
00:25:18.940 We'll be right back. Stay with us.
00:25:20.800 So we're back now with Mike Gonzalez and Mike, as all of this is coming together, we have a crisis
00:25:33.160 at our Southern border that has become a crisis throughout the nation, uh, where we have had
00:25:38.740 an estimated, uh, but reported as a real number by, uh, by certainly the, uh, customs and border
00:25:46.560 patrol, 10 million illegal immigrants enter this country over the course, uh, of time from
00:25:53.260 the moment, uh, Joe Biden was inaugurated till now, uh, 1 million, 1 million, uh, a year.
00:26:01.420 We know the real numbers are something, the real numbers are somewhere, I think, north of
00:26:06.660 10 million to about 12 million. But the issue is this administration has turned over the control
00:26:12.200 of our Southern border without any reservation. I state, this is fact to the Mexican drug cartels.
00:26:18.580 And I mean, on both sides of the border, the corruption is expanding and worsening by the day
00:26:24.260 your thoughts about what in the world are we going to do as, as we watch all of this conflated.
00:26:31.400 Uh, we're watching a terrorist from Syria, from, uh, from Iran, uh, Gaza crossing that border 0.51
00:26:39.080 by the hundreds. Uh, we were, we're watching the drug cartels export their, their fentanyl to the
00:26:46.120 United States. And we have a hundred thousand lives lost a year due to the overdose of those opiates.
00:26:52.080 Your thoughts about how it is we can't come to grips with the crisis that is absolutely tearing
00:26:58.360 this country to pieces. That is another one that is really inexplicable. And, and, and, and,
00:27:04.380 and of all the gigantic failures of the Biden administration, uh, I mean, this one perhaps
00:27:12.020 might be the biggest and most damaging, uh, the fact that the, the, the, the, the border,
00:27:18.180 which Trump actually had, had a good solution for, you know, we, we, we, the border was not
00:27:25.420 closed hermetically, but, but the, the, the problem had been greatly reduced. And because
00:27:31.180 Trump did it, he, I guess Biden went in the other direction. I, you know, I'm not saying that's the
00:27:35.500 only reason why they've done it, but look, uh, about three weeks ago, I sat in Guatemala city
00:27:40.580 at the presidential palace with president Giamatti, Alejandro Giamatti. And he explained to me
00:27:45.740 that he warned the Biden administration about this. He told them Venezuela is, is gathering people
00:27:53.060 from Africa, Asia, uh, and the Middle East. Uh, uh, and the, the, that that's the, that's the,
00:27:59.940 the meeting place. And then they send them to Panama where they start the journey. Uh, the 0.77
00:28:04.340 Cubans and the Haitians apparently go through Nicaragua, another evil regime. And, and Maduro, 0.85
00:28:10.500 the president of Venezuela is doing this to destabilize the United States. They're not sending good
00:28:15.740 people. I was in Brownsville, Texas, uh, earlier this spring, Lou, I talked to a businessman who told me,
00:28:22.900 he had a Mexican American businessman who told me he had just spoken to about 10 Russians the week
00:28:29.540 before, and they had just come across the border and they spoke very good Spanish because they have
00:28:34.100 been stationed in Venezuela. Uh, so you can imagine the number of people we have let in. Why, why,
00:28:41.300 why have Biden and Harris done this to us? We have at the very least 2% of the American population.
00:28:49.220 That's a very large number have come in illegally in the last two and a half years. Uh, you have to
00:28:55.700 think that we have many states like Wyoming, Montana, where the population is half a million. So this is
00:29:03.060 many times the population of, of many states that have come in. We don't know who's in. This is, and
00:29:09.940 this is human trafficking. This is, this is narco trafficking. This is the worst of the worst.
00:29:15.940 And it's being allowed on there. I know why for Pete's sakes. Why? Yeah. That's a question
00:29:22.980 that I've been asking for some time. And you and I both share a history as we've tried to, uh, the
00:29:29.460 chronicle what's going on and analyze what's going on and, uh, try to bring that to the public's
00:29:34.580 attention. I've never seen a more deafening silence on these issues than right now. And what I don't
00:29:41.380 understand on top of that, uh, in comprehension, I don't understand what the Republican party has
00:29:48.180 become because it's no longer the party of corporate America. I, it is Trump, uh, I think
00:29:54.820 reshaped the party to being a working man and woman's, uh, party, uh, a populist party. Uh, and so now we
00:30:02.340 have a collision within the Republican party of the populist, uh, and the establishment Republicans. Uh,
00:30:08.260 we are looking at division and every, no matter how, what perspective you take, uh, there's division
00:30:15.140 and there's, uh, there are confronting, uh, countervailing, uh, forces at work.
00:30:22.740 Yeah. This is a part of the phenomenon to which I alluded to earlier. The left, uh, as it became
00:30:28.020 culturally Marxist in the sixties, uh, gave up on the worker. They, the worker, they realized did not
00:30:33.460 want to revolutionize America. The worker wanted better working conditions. The worker wanted to,
00:30:38.740 to, to have a, a, maybe a nine and a nine to five, uh, working day. Good, good, good conditions on the
00:30:45.300 factory floor, but there were no interest. They were not interested in overthrowing the American system.
00:30:49.940 So the left abandoned the worker as a bad revolutionary. And since the left abandoned the worker,
00:30:55.540 the worker finally realized, by the way, they, they said they were open about this. They, the, the new
00:31:00.740 left in the sixties, they were looking for a substitute proletariat. And then her substitute for 1.00
00:31:05.780 what proletariat, substitute proletariat for the proletariat being the Marxist term for the working
00:31:12.580 class, the proletarians, uh, and, and they, they were looking for substitute proletariat and Marcuse,
00:31:18.340 Herbert Marcuse, one of the, the guru, the New York times called him the guru of the new left.
00:31:22.500 And I'm quoting him verbatim. These are his words online saying he will be in the ghetto population.
00:31:27.860 Right. It will be people of other races and other colors who will take up, who will take up the 0.96
00:31:32.660 revolutionary cause. And, and, and, and, and, and then they set about creating all these groups
00:31:37.300 because they needed more groups. They create Hispanics in 1977, uh, through OMB for the policy
00:31:42.500 director number 15. Uh, but, but this abandonment of the worker by the left means that the worker
00:31:47.860 becomes homeless and he's looking for a political party where, where that can, can reflect his, his desires and
00:31:56.580 in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in desires. So the Republican
00:32:05.540 party is, is being, is benefiting from this. And now it's going to have to have its, its own internal
00:32:12.660 debate as to what kind of a party wants to do. Well, we've, we've seen the, uh, the Texas just won a
00:32:19.860 legal battle with the Biden administration, uh, being the Biden administration being, uh, slapped
00:32:25.700 back and, uh, the Supreme court supporting, uh, the state of Texas, uh, in its fight against the
00:32:33.300 barriers that the Biden administration, uh, tore down that Texas had put up and they had torn them
00:32:39.620 down. Uh, this is an important battle to win, but unfortunately there are two states along that border, uh,
00:32:47.140 that are wide open, no matter what, uh, they're not going to supply, you know, they're not in any
00:32:52.100 way trying to make up for the, the wide open borders, uh, made possible by the Biden administration
00:32:57.060 because they won't step forward, but Texas and Arizona are resisting. And so that's important,
00:33:01.860 at least there it's, but it's at best a half a solution. Uh, let me, as we're wrapping up here,
00:33:07.380 let me ask you, how do we get from where we are to a far better place where we are the America,
00:33:16.820 that, uh, our founders, uh, and our heritage, uh, you would think would lead us? What is our,
00:33:22.500 what is our destiny now? And how do we get to a brighter future for all Americans?
00:33:28.660 Well, Milton Friedman said that the changing the climate of opinion was the most important thing.
00:33:33.380 And I think that is happening right out right now, right now, you and I are helping this by talking
00:33:37.940 about these issues publicly, but I think you change the climate of opinion and you make it the right
00:33:44.500 climate of opinion. And even the bad politician will do the right thing. If the climate of opinion is
00:33:50.340 bad, then even the right politicians are gonna do the wrong thing. So I think that what is happening
00:33:55.300 now because we had, we have hit bottom when you have students, uh, spewing antisemitic stuff and
00:34:02.580 demonstrating and defending mass murder. Uh, I think enough people are gonna say,
00:34:08.260 who hired these professors? Why do we have DEI officers when this is what they do? And they're
00:34:14.900 going to be going to begin to ask hard questions. And I think legislatures, state legislatures,
00:34:19.460 should get into the act. And I think it should, this should be part of the presidential debates.
00:34:23.540 We have an election year coming up in a few weeks. It begins. We need to, to have the candidates say,
00:34:29.860 how do we take the, how do we take the country back? How do we stop cultural suicide? 0.93
00:34:34.820 Well, that's the question of our, of our times, isn't it? Uh, I just really have enjoyed our
00:34:40.660 conversation, Mike. We appreciate you being with us. I'd look forward to our next conversation,
00:34:45.220 which, uh, I would like that to be very soon. Oh, I'd love to. Thanks Lou.
00:34:50.020 Thanks everybody for being with us today. Our guests here tomorrow on the great
00:34:53.380 America show is Colonel Doug McGregor. You don't want to miss his analysis of the Israeli Hamas war.

00:35:06.660 Join us each and every day. Thanks everybody for being with us. God bless you. And may God bless America.
