Hello everybody and welcome to the Great America Show. I'm Lou Dobbs and it's great to have you
00:00:05.220
with us. Today is one week since our midterm elections and NBC News was the first network
00:00:11.840
to report the Republican Party had won the House of Representatives and by a whopping 220 to 215
00:00:20.440
seats. That's with a 99.5 percent certainty if NBC's confidence in their reporting is of concern
00:00:27.680
to you and why shouldn't it be? Our confidence in the reporting of every corporate media outlet
00:00:33.000
and the country should command skepticism about all that they are doing. Back to the Republican
00:00:39.180
Party's slim majority in the 118th Congress 220 to 215. It looks like the majority in the House of
00:00:48.200
Representatives will be the smallest margin of victory five seats since the 72nd Congress was
00:00:55.280
elected back in 1930, a two-seat margin back then. The historically smallest margin of victory
00:01:02.940
resulted from the election of 1916, one seat in the 65th Congress. And just for your interest and the
00:01:12.100
record book, this slim margin of victory for the Republicans this year means that Republicans hold
00:01:18.740
the record for the largest number of smallest congressional margins in history. Three elections,
00:01:25.780
1916, 1930, and now 2022. I think I should point out that I attach absolutely no significance to the
00:01:35.560
fact that in the two early margins of victory, they were preceded by one year and 11 years, the entry of
00:01:43.400
the United States into world wars. I have absolutely no idea what 2020 means or what will follow the
00:01:51.800
election. But what is it they say about houses divided? Ominous, I think. Ominous. And the Republicans
00:02:00.860
seem as divided as the Republican-led House of Representatives and the Dem-led Senate that go
00:02:07.200
into session on January 3rd of next year. Think of it. A five-vote margin in the 435-member Congress
00:02:15.160
and what is a one-seat margin in the 100-member Senate as the country awaits a December 6 runoff
00:02:22.540
in the Georgia Senate race. Talk about close. Talk about a nation divided. Well, let's talk now about
00:02:30.400
the election that produced these slim margins of victory and an almost equal divide between Republicans
00:02:36.680
and Democrats in both the Senate and the House. For Republicans, this election was a tremendous
00:02:43.260
disappointment. From what was supposed to be a red wave, even a tsunami, to what is only razor-thin
00:02:50.140
control of the House and no change in the Senate. So what happened? We'll be asking that a lot as the days
00:02:58.000
go on. What happened? Our guest today is leading conservative attorney Kurt Olson. He represents,
00:03:04.860
among others, President Trump and Mike Lindell. And it's good to have you back with us on the
00:03:09.460
Great America Show, Kurt. Think of the billions and billions of dollars spent on this most important
00:03:15.580
midterm election in a very long time to produce this puny difference in the outcome. Your thoughts?
00:03:24.920
Well, I think what you're seeing is kind of the normalization of chaos in our election process now.
00:03:30.740
I mean, everywhere across the country, you're seeing examples of tabulators all of a sudden
00:03:36.860
breaking down. And what that means is people are told, and in this case, for example, in Maricopa
00:03:43.460
County, about 20 to 30% of the tabulators broke. And so mainly Republicans, who everybody knew were
00:03:51.440
going to show up on election day, were told, well, we'll take your ballot, put it over here in this bin,
00:03:56.600
and we'll count it later. Exactly. And that's just one example. There are many other examples that we
00:04:05.660
can get into a bit later. But in terms of the lack of a red wave, or suppose it all, I don't think
00:04:13.760
that's the case. I think there was a red wave. I think what you're seeing is two things. One, that
00:04:20.280
there was massive cheating in this election. And there is clear evidence of it, which we can discuss
00:04:27.520
a little bit in a few minutes. But also, I think it's a narrative that is being put out there.
00:04:35.240
And so there was this buildup prior to the election of an impending red wave. And you saw even Gavin
00:04:42.740
Newsom talking about it, and then CNN putting out polls, about 75% dissatisfaction with the country
00:04:50.100
and everything along that score, which would all indicate, you know, that a red wave was coming.
00:04:57.960
But now there has been a complete media narrative to try to blame the lack of a red wave,
00:05:02.680
which I think was built up somewhat, to blame President Trump. And so people are coming out of
00:05:09.480
the woodwork, a lot of the rhino establishment, whether it's Paul Ryan, whether it's, you know,
00:05:16.180
many others within the Republican establishment trying to pin the blame on Trump. And it's this
00:05:23.280
cacophony in the media. And it's almost like, you know, like a PSYOP. It's like everywhere you turn,
00:05:30.720
when you see newscasters, and I'm sure you've seen the montage, where they're all repeating the
00:05:36.420
same message. And, you know, whether it's, you know, a threat to our democracy, you know, or,
00:05:40.860
but it's all trying to diminish President Trump and to pin the blame on him. Whereas President
00:05:47.000
Trump would say, well, I had a 94% success rate in terms of the candidates that I endorsed were
00:05:54.600
reelected or were elected. And so there's a disconnect there. So I see a shaping of the media
00:06:01.320
narrative to blame President Trump. But I also see that there was a much, there was a high degree of
00:06:10.740
irregularities and cheating in this election. Yeah. Yeah. And we're watching it, for example,
00:06:17.620
in Arizona. Yeah. When you talked about the tabulators not working, my thoughts immediately
00:06:24.080
went to Scottsdale and all of the environs that are heavily, heavily Republican, and which one would
00:06:31.100
have expected. And certainly I think the Republicans in Arizona definitely expected to see a higher
00:06:37.720
performance. You mentioned PSYOPs. And I just want to say on this show, I talk about very straightforwardly
00:06:44.240
disinformation. This is a disinformation campaign originated by our government. We have the narratives
00:06:53.680
and the shaping of narratives as you were expressing it. And I think you're right. But the reality is that
00:06:59.560
we have no greater source of disinformation, whether it be Russia, whether it be China, Iran,
00:07:06.180
you name it, there is no source. And I don't believe cumulatively there is as great a source as our own
00:07:13.300
government feeding absolute bull crap to the American people and running a PSYOPs weekly, as well as a
00:07:24.000
constant disinformation campaign against us. Do you agree?
00:07:27.220
I mean, I think a perfect example to take it away from the election process. I mean, let's look at
00:07:33.100
Ukraine. And when Russia invaded Ukraine in February of this year, across the board, there was, it was
00:07:42.280
almost like standing, you know, in a wind tunnel. I mean, everywhere you turned, it was the narrative
00:07:48.620
was, you know, Putin is crazy, or he's evil, the next coming of Hitler. And there was no room for,
00:07:55.500
you know, logical analysis. Like, why did NATO not agree to say Ukraine would not become part of NATO?
00:08:05.500
And why was the U.S. constantly pushing this? So there was, there was very little thoughtful
00:08:10.320
discussion about Ukraine. It was all one-sided. It was huge volume. And no matter which side you stand
00:08:16.480
on, on Russia's invasion of, of Ukraine and the reasons for it, whether they're legitimate or
00:08:22.060
whether they're not, or whether there's, you know, a mixed bag on that, at least you would think in
00:08:27.560
the news, there would be some balance in terms of the analysis. I mean, you always want to hear
00:08:32.900
what the other side is. And there was a total absence of that. And if anybody even raised their
00:08:38.760
head to say, well, maybe that narrative isn't quite, you know, right. Immediately, they were accused of
00:08:44.960
being a Putin apologist or a Russia apologist. And, and, and, you know, I think the, you know,
00:08:49.680
the only voice that I saw on the news that, that had any kind of balanced approach or an alternative
00:08:57.260
approach was Tucker, for the most part, in terms of the mainstream media. But what struck me was the
00:09:04.300
sheer volume of information, the singular message. And you see the same thing now, as I said, with
00:09:12.240
trying to blame, uh, the 2022 midterm election, the disappointing, uh, outcome there apparently
00:09:19.200
on president Trump, it's, it's, it's the shaping of public opinion through social media and the news.
00:09:25.580
Yeah. We take that as a given on this show. I mean, we really do. Our audience understands, uh,
00:09:31.420
all of that. Uh, and, uh, and frankly, no, I don't think anyone listening to this podcast pays
00:09:37.660
much attention to mainstream media or cable news because they know what it is, uh, and what their
00:09:44.240
purpose is. Uh, and you're going to your point earlier about suddenly, you know, uh, bill daily
00:09:50.780
of crying out loud, a commerce secretary, uh, for, uh, uh, for Obama comes out on the Sunday shows,
00:09:57.820
uh, with him, Judd Gregg, uh, former, uh, you know, erstwhile and constant establishment Republican
00:10:06.780
rhino. Uh, and they finally, they have come to the conclusion, Kurt, that, you know, uh, president
00:10:13.940
Obama won't be the nominee in 2024. This has become now the talking point of the left, uh, the Marxist
00:10:21.900
Dems and the rhino Republicans. Uh, it, and there is, there's no escaping it. Uh, and what
00:10:29.580
has he to do with any of it? Nothing in point of fact. Uh, but he is still the target because
00:10:35.820
they fear him most. They are scared to death of Donald Trump because he has a proven record
00:10:42.180
as president of the United States in which he accomplished more than any president in modern
00:10:46.940
history. And furthermore, he kept his promises. And thirdly, he is a mean tweeter. Uh, this is,
00:10:54.860
and by the way, I wish the president would just calm down and pick fights, uh, uh, far better.
00:11:01.660
I don't care about his mean tweets. What I'm talking about is let's right now, this is a time to bring,
00:11:07.180
as you said, rationality to the political process. This is a time not to go out and just pick a fight
00:11:12.700
for the hell of it, uh, which he loves to do. Uh, he's a counter puncher, but he's also a hell of a
00:11:18.700
puncher. Uh, and I would like to see him slow that down, but I'd also like to see him be the, uh,
00:11:24.700
the 47th president of the United States. Uh, your thoughts. Well, I understand that. And I think,
00:11:33.660
you know, people react to the president's, uh, truth posts or tweets, tweets differently. I can
00:11:40.380
remember back when, uh, the president, uh, criticized John McCain, uh, and said, I like
00:11:46.860
my heroes who aren't captured. And, uh, and, and I'm a Naval Academy graduate. Uh, my, my family
00:11:52.700
knew the McCain's I'm, I'm the third of four generations at the Naval Academy. Uh, my father,
00:11:57.740
uh, was, was not a fan of John McCain, although I was in the 2000, uh, primary when he was running
00:12:04.700
against, uh, George W. Bush. But in, in terms of, I think the focus should be on the, the future in
00:12:15.100
2024 and perhaps maybe less on Republican infighting, but at the same time, it's very clear to me and
00:12:24.300
the conservative tree house, that blog has done outstanding analysis on this issue, but that the
00:12:30.300
Republican establishment is putting DeSantis forward as an alternative to Trump. It's not
00:12:36.940
just DeSantis who isn't saying anything in terms of whether it was the raid on Mar-a-Lago or the
00:12:43.820
fraudulent elections outside of Florida, um, or the lack of, of gratitude towards President Trump,
00:12:51.500
who really did get him elected, uh, on his first run for governor. He would not have,
00:12:55.980
uh, he would not have won, you know, but for President Trump's help. Well, that's true also
00:13:01.580
of Mitch McConnell. It's true of dozens of rhinos in point of fact. Uh, President Trump probably
00:13:09.340
doesn't want to acknowledge the number of personnel mistakes he's made and, uh, misjudgments on, uh,
00:13:15.580
you know, but there's an old saying, uh, any one of us, uh, any one of us who does someone a favor
00:13:20.620
had better not expect to do it because we expect to thank you because it usually isn't going to happen,
00:13:25.180
right? Yeah. And I, and I would say this about President Trump, as you know, he's not a politician.
00:13:32.060
And so if, well, I would argue, I'd argue with you on, Kurt, I've got to argue with you there.
00:13:38.060
He wasn't a politician. He sure as hell is now. He, this man is a politician. Uh, he may not do it.
00:13:45.500
He may be an unconventional one, but he sure is a politician. Uh, he's what he's gone through. He's,
00:13:51.020
he's learned, uh, uh, Trump politics is something new, but it's certainly, uh, he's certainly a
00:13:56.540
politician, I think. Yeah. Let, let me qualify that. He's not a traditional politician, right?
00:14:02.300
So he doesn't play by the conventional rules of politics. And when somebody goes after him,
00:14:09.100
I think it's not so much that President Trump is going after DeSantis as it is. He's going after
00:14:15.340
those behind DeSantis who are putting him forward as an alternative to him. And so here, and so,
00:14:22.460
because I do think, let me, let me just say, Kurt, here's what I would love to hear. I would love to
00:14:29.820
hear President Trump go after the people he means to go after. Uh, I, I look at Biden as a puppet
00:14:36.620
president. He's working for a cabal of Marxist Dems. I don't think there's any rational,
00:14:42.300
uh, uh, uh, other explanation for what this puppet, this impaired president is doing.
00:14:48.540
Uh, just as when you see the alignment between a DeSantis, uh, establishment Republicans,
00:14:55.740
and, uh, of course the Republicans in name only. And when I use that expression, Kurt, I always say,
00:15:01.980
why aren't there dinos Democrats in name only? Only the Republicans are so blessed with such a group,
00:15:07.740
uh, liberal within their own ranks. Uh, but why not go after the people he means to?
00:15:13.900
Uh, that's Wall Street. That's the business round table. That's a chamber of commerce.
00:15:18.540
Uh, that is Barack Obama and his cabal of Marxist Dems who run this president,
00:15:24.460
uh, this presidency, uh, and this administration. We're watching the third term of Barack Obama.
00:15:31.500
There's no, to me, no doubt. I, I don't doubt it for a moment. Uh, and I think that also played
00:15:37.260
out in the election that we just went through. I think that's true. Um, I think it goes far beyond
00:15:44.300
just a cabal of Marxist Dems. I mean, I do think, you know, China is heavily involved in this. Um,
00:15:50.780
it is my hope that more will come out, uh, regarding, uh, Biden's and his family's dealings with China,
00:15:57.100
uh, that, you know, we, we know already that the, you know, the, the laptop from hell,
00:16:02.540
which 51 intelligence professionals, you know, took out a letter saying this was Russian disinformation
00:16:07.580
before the 2020 election. We now know it's true. And I hope that more and more information comes up
00:16:13.900
and reveals the extent of those dealings, because this is so much of it is, it's just in your face.
00:16:18.380
Yeah, but we've got Kevin McCarthy. We've got Kevin McCarthy, the, the leader, uh, of the house,
00:16:25.100
uh, the minority leader of the house. He's going ahead with, uh, uh, the elections, uh, despite the
00:16:32.460
fact he's got opposition. This man is a rhino. Mitch McConnell is a rhino. Ronald Ronna Romney
00:16:41.740
Dan McDaniel is a rhino. We have a group of people running the Republican party who are not aligned
00:16:49.340
with Trump. They're not aligned with traditional Republicanism. They are not conservative. And we've
00:16:54.460
got, uh, and we're watching these elected representatives, uh, those who've been elected
00:17:00.300
going along like guppies rising to the surface of a clear crystal ball, uh, because they're,
00:17:06.860
uh, the establishment is feeding them. Uh, they're gutless and, uh, principled, unprincipled.
00:17:13.420
It is ridiculous. House and Senate leadership elections going forward.
00:17:18.380
Mitch McConnell has an 8% favorability among Americans, uh, and amongst his conference,
00:17:26.140
they just do what they're told because that's the way it is. This is madness. And the GOP, uh, you know,
00:17:32.860
Josh Hawley came out and said, they ought to just kill the damn thing. Uh, I think that the,
00:17:38.220
I think that rank and file members will tell the GOP to go to hell because they've just gone through
00:17:43.020
a midterm in which they were lied to by every rhino in the country. I think that the rhinos
00:17:51.260
likely wanted this outcome because as you said earlier, they fear president Trump the most.
00:17:58.140
And, you know, he is an anti-establishment candidate. He is the candidate for the people. He brought,
00:18:05.020
this is why his support amongst African Americans and Hispanics is off the charts in terms of Republican
00:18:12.700
support for Republic, uh, Republican, and it's growing. And the, the disconnect that you're seeing
00:18:18.460
and really the, the, the lack of, uh, concern about it. I mean, because, you know, Mitch McConnell,
00:18:24.780
he obviously can read the paper and so can McCarthy and McCarthy gets out there and says, well,
00:18:29.900
we're not going to conduct any investigation of Biden or have any impeachment hearings or anything
00:18:34.380
like that. They're taking these things off the table. That's, there's a disconnect there with,
00:18:39.580
with what the Republican base and what the Republican, you know, uh, rank and file.
00:18:45.580
Absolutely. But what's, what's the effect? How are we to affect change here?
00:18:50.620
That's a good question. I think that we are really at a, a precipice in our country
00:19:00.460
because norm, the normal way to affect change is through elections, right?
00:19:04.220
But what we're seeing now, or that the election process itself is corrupted and it's corrupted
00:19:12.860
in a way that, that is really quite obvious, whether it's with, you know, the mail-in vote, mail-in
00:19:19.820
voting, the extension of the, the time period to conduct elections or, or the machine. And we can touch
00:19:27.500
on some of these things that we're finding that, like I said, the normalization of chaos in the election
00:19:32.700
process. It's difficult to see a path forward when the traditional methods of expressing, you know,
00:19:40.860
the power of the people through the electoral process. It's not, President Trump has said it's
00:19:48.300
a rigged system and it is. Yeah. And you can overcome that. Well, let me just get to this,
00:19:54.780
Kurt, because I mean, you're bringing up, I think the really important points.
00:19:58.460
Uh, but here we go right now. We are, this is 2022, the Republican part of Ronna, Ronna McDaniel.
00:20:07.580
I can barely say her name. I get so agitated and frustrated with the fact she's there.
00:20:12.860
You know, she's told everybody that she, the Republicans had a great ground game for the
00:20:16.620
midterm elections, these existential, uh, elections. And she lied through her teeth. There's nothing out
00:20:22.700
there. And there is no, they had no, no answer for Democrats. You can call it cheat. You can call it,
00:20:28.940
uh, uh, really smart, uh, electioneering, if you want, whatever you may call it. Republicans aren't
00:20:36.700
in the game. The Republican party, the rhinos just keep shoving it right, uh, right up our nose.
00:20:43.660
Uh, so you talked about the places where this election was stolen. This is a time for us to
00:20:50.140
understand what's going on. Where are the signs of, uh, manipulation in our electoral system?
00:20:57.580
If you want to talk about the machines. Sure. And, and there's not one mechanism. So
00:21:04.700
during the election night, Jeff O'Donnell was on Frank speech with Mike and doing real-time analysis
00:21:11.340
of the votes that were being reported through Edison. That's the New York Times feed. And these are,
00:21:16.220
these are, they say they're unofficial, but they are official results. The results that are getting
00:21:21.260
transmitted up from the secretaries of state through the Edison, uh, company that does the
00:21:27.100
election night reporting. Right. And they were seeing clear manipulation in terms of injections,
00:21:32.620
what we call the F curve, where all of a sudden, you know, Herschel Walker and Warnock are very close.
00:21:38.460
And then all of a sudden 160,000 votes come in 145,000 of which are a hundred and maybe 150,000
00:21:45.340
are for Warnock. And it's just, and it's always the same story. Oh, well, this came in from a heavily
00:21:49.820
Republican district. Well, not, not to that degree. And you see these, and not only that,
00:21:56.940
he was showing real time how all of a sudden thousands of ballots were being taken away
00:22:01.820
from one candidate from Herschel Walker. I mean, that, that just doesn't happen. That's just one
00:22:08.140
example. And that's happened repeatedly as people have seen, but there's, there's one issue that I
00:22:13.180
would like to touch on, which is very dramatic. And it's a new development that, that we haven't
00:22:18.860
seen before. And this is in Dallas County, Texas, if I may. Sure. Sure. So a new system has been
00:22:27.020
introduced at scale now in the election process. And these are these e-poll books. And these e-poll
00:22:33.740
books are directly connected to the registration system. And what happens is a voter comes in,
00:22:40.540
they check in on the electronic poll book, and then there's poll books are connected to a printer.
00:22:46.140
And the specific ballot for that individual, depending on what precinct they're in and so forth,
00:22:50.620
because their local election is then printed out. And then the voter takes that ballot and
00:22:56.300
builds it out, votes, and hopefully scans it and, and moves on. Well, in Dallas County,
00:23:02.140
election officials there have come together from 10 different precincts. And there's videotape of this.
00:23:08.220
After the elections closed, they watched the poll books adding hundreds of votes
00:23:16.380
as having checked in and voted. The polls are closed. There's nobody in line. They're watching on the
00:23:21.420
screen. The numbers that are being tallied up increase in the hundreds on each. And there's 10
00:23:27.100
poll books at this one precinct location where they're, where the video was taken. And what this
00:23:33.180
indicates, because the poll books are connected to the central voter registration system, that the
00:23:39.340
manipulation is taking place at the voter registration level. And they're simply adding votes.
00:23:46.140
It's extraordinary. And it's on videotape. And hopefully more will be coming out about that
00:23:51.980
in the, in the very near future. That's just one example. You look at, you know, as we mentioned
00:23:57.580
earlier, the tabulator issues in Arizona and Maricopa, those were tested before the election,
00:24:05.180
before the day of election through the kind of both. And so they functioned fine. And there are reports
00:24:13.660
of an election official there saying that these machines were programmed to malfunction and to
00:24:21.420
create the very scenario we have here, which is everybody knew that Republican turnout would be heavy
00:24:27.900
on the day of election. And the machines, about 20 to 30% of them somehow malfunction. Extraordinary
00:24:36.460
So is anybody going to court here? I mean, where I guess if this were 2020, and this were happening,
00:24:43.420
I would be all Twitter about it, to use an expression. But I'm thinking if the Republican
00:24:51.100
leadership is this stupid in Arizona, that they weren't prepared for that, I don't know what to say
00:24:56.460
about that. There's an old expression on Wall Street. There's no protecting the stupid from
00:25:02.220
this route. And I have to tell you, I believe Rana McDaniel, Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy are
00:25:08.620
among the dumbest people of possibly imaginable to be at the head of the Republican Party.
00:25:15.100
This keeps marching on. And if the Republicans are screwed again in the elections,
00:25:21.580
whose fault is it? We know what the Democrats are. We know what they'll do.
00:25:26.460
But why in the world? I mean, if the Republicans are defenseless against
00:25:33.100
the Marxist Dems of the Democratic Party, what are they going to do against the Mexican drug cartels?
00:25:38.380
What are they going to do when they're up against Xi Jinping? What are they going to do when they're
00:25:43.900
up against Vladimir Putin in Europe? I mean, how do you feel if you're a Republican today? Because I
00:25:51.580
am one. And I have to tell you, for the first time in a long time, I'm thinking about not being one.
00:25:58.220
Because if they're going to put rhinos in charge of it, why should I sit here and rail against it
00:26:04.700
as I do every day and see them just keep repeating it? There's got to be a better way.
00:26:10.140
There's got to be intelligence brought to the forefront in the Republican Party. Surely we have such leaders.
00:26:20.060
Well, maybe those are leaders in waiting. Because what I think the answer to this
00:26:28.620
is people need to step up. I mean, General Flynn has said, you know, local action equals national
00:26:33.820
impact. And that just doesn't mean by voting. It means people with passion and integrity and honor,
00:26:42.540
no longer just leaving it up to the Mitch McConnell's to be the candidate. People need to
00:26:47.580
look in the mirror and decide, okay, I have to do more than just, you know, complain and rail against
00:26:53.820
the system. I need to run. And whether it's a local race or a state race or a national race,
00:27:01.100
more people coming into it and not just leaving it up to the good old boy network that's in the past.
00:27:08.220
And there has to be, I think, a groundswell. And this is how we take back our country,
00:27:13.180
because I think the corruption is on both sides of the aisle, as evidenced by Mitch McConnell and
00:27:19.740
others within the Republican Party, I think. Well, I think that's the only way.
00:27:26.700
How do you inspire young people to do to become the leader of a party to to be? I mean, I can't even
00:27:33.740
imagine why a young person right now would want any part of politics, either in the Republican
00:27:39.100
Party or the Democrat Party. What who is inspiring them? We had we had a president who actually did
00:27:47.580
keep his promises, actually did great things for the republic. And he has been just I mean, like
00:27:56.140
piranhas feeding. He's been attacked by the left. They are aligned with the Marxist left globally.
00:28:03.580
The globalist elites. And, you know, he's not even defended. No one defends him in the Republican
00:28:09.340
Party. Almost no one. But certainly no one in leadership of the Republican Party defends him
00:28:15.420
or defended him through. The man stands on his own.
00:28:22.140
So we're back to where we started. And we've got Carrie Lake, who is going to be the new Trump.
00:28:27.420
She's running a point behind right now after all of the whatever happened out there.
00:28:34.860
But no one seems to understand. I mean, these potential leaders, as you referred to them,
00:28:40.860
they get ground up early because they're not, frankly, either adroit or too naive to do anything about it.
00:28:47.740
I think, Lou, it's just a question of numbers. And and it really is. There must be in this country
00:28:58.700
a great awakening where people step forward and run against the establishment candidates and take over.
00:29:07.260
So when Josh Hawley says, you know, to to bury the Republican Party and try something new, perhaps.
00:29:14.300
I mean, that is one alternative. Although, you know, as you know, you know, third third parties
00:29:19.180
traditionally have not done well. Having said that, the other alternative is to reform it from within.
00:29:24.540
And I think that's really what it takes. Getting out and voting is important and it's critical.
00:29:31.420
But also, you know, there needs to be a groundswell of people coming forward as leaders
00:29:38.300
to take positions of responsibility within our government. It cannot be outsourced any longer.
00:29:44.060
And where I think it starts, I think it really does start with people paying attention to who the leaders are
00:29:51.180
and rejecting leaders who fail. And the Republican Party embraces failure because they maintain the
00:29:58.060
status quo and the status quo is the swamp and all that it divvies up amongst the incompetent and the
00:30:03.420
mediocre and the compromised in both parties. So we, you know, Donald Trump was trying, but he got eaten
00:30:12.700
alive because he thought he could do it by himself. And he found out that there's a reason they call it
00:30:17.260
politics. You've got to have like minded people who aggregate and coalesce around principles and ideas
00:30:33.420
Yeah, I just wanted to say that this latest headline, I just looked at Gateway Pundit,
00:30:37.980
that the number of House seats continues to dwindle as GOP leaders remain silent and ignore reality.
00:30:47.020
I want to give my hat. I want to tip my hat to Tim and to Jim and Joe Hopp over at the Gateway Pundit.
00:30:56.060
They're amongst the very few talking about what is really going on.
00:31:00.140
And by the way, this is also Darwinian, let's be honest. We're not immune to Darwinism and just
00:31:08.220
because we're a human society. We are right now, we're acting as though we are the, you know,
00:31:17.740
the chopped up meal for the farm animals that want to grow and to get bigger and fatter.
00:31:25.180
We are really we're a bunch of losers right now. And I don't think most Republicans have the guts to
00:31:32.380
say it. You might as well have an L by their names instead of an R. They're losers because they're not
00:31:39.100
fighters. They haven't got the fire, the principle or the guts in any way to take on all that is before
00:31:47.100
us and all that must intimidate them mightily. The GOP silence has got to end. There's not enough
00:31:54.460
time here to develop potential leaders until we get rid of these. We've got to move these.
00:32:00.300
We have to move these craven, corrupt, uh, rhino leaders out of the Republican Party and do it now.
00:32:07.580
And if they just repeat it, then I'm going to say to you, I'm, I'm not going to be a Republican.
00:32:12.220
If Ronald McDaniel, Kevin McCarthy and Mitch McConnell are in the Republican Party,
00:32:17.180
uh, I'm going to think very seriously about getting the hell out because they're not worth
00:32:23.180
our time. They're not worth our energy and, and our money because what they're doing is just as
00:32:28.620
damaging to the Republic as what the Dems are doing. Your thoughts.
00:32:32.860
Lou, I think if people like you and others use your platform and your voice and insisted that
00:32:42.940
individuals like Rona McDaniel and Mitch McConnell and other rhinos step down and that, you know, to,
00:32:51.900
as I said, to build up a groundswell and to not, to not, uh, to not retreat and, and give up. And I'm not
00:33:00.380
saying you're giving up, but to give. Oh, I'm not going to give up, but I'm not going to give them the
00:33:05.500
time of day. No, but to, but to use, you know, people like yourself and others to motivate people
00:33:13.500
and to provide a platform to make their voices heard in some way or fashion. And Mike Lindell can
00:33:20.620
do the same and others, but to, to call, to call them out and to, you know, blast their phone lines,
00:33:27.820
to start campaigns. There are many grassroots activists out there who are looking for direction
00:33:34.860
to give them a platform and direction to say, okay, your call to action is Mitch McConnell has
00:33:42.460
to resign. Your call to action is Rona McDaniel has to resign. You know, build up and give people
00:33:49.580
a call to action. And I think, I think that's successful. This is all about engagement.
00:33:55.020
We're witnessing the destruction of our country right now. And that's not an overstatement.
00:34:00.780
These elections, go ahead. No, you go ahead. Yeah, I was, I was going to say, we, we,
00:34:08.460
we are witnessing the destruction of our country. This is a classic insurgency.
00:34:12.540
It has been going on for decades and you're seeing, I think we are at the, the apex of it. And the,
00:34:19.420
the, there was no option for, in this case, the Democrats who are controlled. And I think the
00:34:27.180
Republicans are too, the Republican establishment that is, to allow Trump Republicans to take control
00:34:36.220
in the House and or Senate. And they're trying to stop Trump from running in 2024,
00:34:42.140
because he is a reformer. And, you know, one of the, the really interesting analysis in terms of,
00:34:49.340
of elections, and this was done again by the conservative treehouse, he noted the difference
00:34:54.060
between campaigning for ballots and campaigning for voters. And because we have moved to mail-in voting,
00:35:03.660
absentee voting machines, candidates no longer are trying to go out and convince voters. They don't have to.
00:35:11.500
If what you had was an election that was on one day with voters showing up, you would have to
00:35:17.100
persuade them. But so why do we have, why do we have to persuade the Republican Party leadership
00:35:24.300
and organization of what you're saying? Because you're exactly right. But there's no mystery here.
00:35:30.300
There is a lesson here. And that lesson was learned in 2020. Why in the world do we have to sit there and
00:35:44.860
Because the leaders in this case, I believe that the Republican establishment is corrupted. They,
00:35:50.380
they are invested in the system that they've created. They benefit from it. I mean, look,
00:35:55.820
look at the, the billions of dollars that are being transferred to Ukraine that we just found out now
00:36:01.340
were being recycled back through FTX and the, the crypto trading platform. And the, the founder of that
00:36:11.580
donated supposedly $40 million or so to Democrat causes. Well, I'd be curious to see if any other
00:36:17.500
monies were flowing back to Republican establishment candidates or office holders.
00:36:22.220
Well, I'd like to see more than allegations. We need to know, we have to have evidence and we have
00:36:28.380
to have this moving into, into court. Uh, you know, right now, this is social media speculation.
00:36:34.300
Uh, you know, as, as far as I'm concerned, unless you know more than I do about, uh, where this is
00:36:40.300
originating from, but that seems to be it. I'm not saying it's wrong. I'm just saying that it's not
00:36:45.260
approved and, uh, and I see no basis to make that determination yet. Uh, I would sure love to see
00:36:51.020
that, that, uh, report. Uh, by the way, talking about a call to action. Uh, let me, let me share
00:36:57.900
with you, uh, what I have already sent out. Republicans must fire McConnell, McDaniel and McCarthy.
00:37:05.260
They should have won big. They lost only winners need apply voters sick of rhinos.
00:37:12.220
Some Republicans both. I said that in response. I tweeted that in response to this, some Republicans
00:37:19.260
voice support for McConnell's reelection as GOP leader. You know, that's just out. That's just
00:37:24.860
outlandish, uh, that some would even think of it. Uh, and anyone who, by the way, supports McConnell
00:37:32.060
or McDaniel or McCarthy, I, I, I consider to be nothing more than a dupe. Uh, this is the other,
00:37:37.740
the other, uh, uh, tweet I should bring to your attention. Save America. GOP leader McCarthy
00:37:45.100
moving ahead with leadership votes tomorrow. Despite his failed election performance, GOP
00:37:50.220
can't afford loser rhino leaders contact your GOP rep and demand they delay the vote link to the
00:37:56.860
directory, uh, the congressional directory. Uh, and we have that on the, uh, tweet on the Twitter
00:38:03.580
and, uh, also the truth social, uh, and you'll see there at the bottom hand, a direct link to the
00:38:11.100
congressional directory to get in touch with your elected representatives. Uh, you get the last word
00:38:17.660
here, Kirk. You've been terrific. I appreciate it so much as always. Thank you, Lou. And, and, and I would
00:38:24.780
add, well, why don't you give the contact information for the RNC, both email and phone number and allow the,
00:38:31.580
and, and, you know, tell the people for a call to action to call up the RNC or to email the RNC
00:38:37.180
and to flood them with demands that Rona McDaniel resign because she's an abject failure.
00:38:41.900
She was an abject failure in 2020. She's an abject failure in 2022. She's opposed to the president
00:38:47.820
every step of the way. And she doesn't deserve the position that she has. She doesn't represent
00:38:53.820
the rank and file of the party. She represents the establishment that is at odds with the rank and file.
00:38:59.820
And that's always been the disconnect, but there's no more dangerous time that when we're in now,
00:39:07.580
we, we are on the verge of losing our country and people need to step up and they need to be given
00:39:15.980
not only hope, but given direction of what they can do to help stop that.
00:39:21.100
Well said. Curt couldn't agree with you more. And I thank you for being here today. I hope you'll come
00:39:28.300
back soon because we got a lot, a lot to talk about and even more to get fixed. Curt Olson,
00:39:36.220
thanks so much for being with us here on the great America show.
00:39:38.780
Thank you, Lou. Always a pleasure. Thanks everybody for being with us. Please be with
00:39:43.500
us tomorrow on the great America show when our guests here will be Mike Davis,
00:39:47.900
the head of the article three project. He's an advocate and supporter of conservative
00:39:52.940
constitutionalist federal judges and justices. Please join us right here tomorrow.
00:39:59.260
Till then. Thank you and God bless you and may God bless America.
