00:00:00.000 Hello, everybody. I'm Lou Dobbs, and this is The Great America Show.
00:00:05.280 Corporate media is blasting headlines today, like this one from The New York Times.
00:00:10.720 Senators reach bipartisan deal on gun safety.
00:00:14.960 Gun safety, mind you, not gun control.
00:00:18.800 But be heartened, the Times is trying to say the GOP and Marxist Dems have a deal.
00:00:23.920 They actually don't.
00:00:25.440 They don't have a bill either.
00:00:26.860 They don't have language or context, and most of their article in The New York Times is fake news.
00:00:34.360 It's mostly a devious effort by both The New York Times, of course, and the Marxist Dems and liberal Republicans in the Senate 0.85
00:00:41.380 to make it all sound like a deal has been done and that we're about to roll back the Second Amendment.
00:00:49.020 It is all about gun control.
00:00:51.980 It's also not as near as they would like us to think. 0.98
00:00:56.140 Not even Republicans are dumb enough to crush a huge part of their base 0.90
00:01:01.420 by signing on to gun control legislation of any kind, period, with five months to go till Election Day. 0.97
00:01:10.260 Another big and consequential headline of note on parental rights today on Fox News.
00:01:16.780 Mom slapped lawsuit on school for teaching transgender lessons to kids.
00:01:22.560 Three Pennsylvania moms suing the Mount Lebanon School District trying to stop the school and first grade teacher Megan Williams
00:01:31.840 from giving gender-related instruction to their kids.
00:01:35.220 In addition to the order to stop such teachings, the moms are seeking compensating and punitive financial damages from the school.
00:01:44.680 Good for those moms, and thanks for standing up for your children, moms.
00:01:49.240 Standing up against the woke mob that's taken over too many of our public schools,
00:01:53.640 and thanks for protecting your parental rights.
00:01:56.960 It's great to have parents involved in our public schools who are fighters for the American way.
00:02:03.700 Our guest today is a fighter, a warrior, former Trump campaign CEO and chief strategist for President Trump,
00:02:11.520 and now the host of Steve Bannon's War Room, a great American.
00:02:16.980 And now, the great Steve Bannon.
00:02:19.760 Steve, great to have you with us here on The Great America Show.
00:02:22.200 I'm on The Great America Show with the great American Lou Dobbs.
00:02:26.280 How you doing, sir?
00:02:26.880 Thanks for having me.
00:02:28.380 Outstanding, and it's good of you to be here.
00:02:31.060 Let's start with, I've got to confess this right up front.
00:02:35.860 I haven't watched a stitch of this hearing, these January 6th hearings, because I know who they are,
00:02:42.520 I know what they are about, and it just sickens me to think that they even exist.
00:02:49.860 Your thoughts on the January 6th?
00:02:52.200 Committee that you're suing, and God bless you for doing so.
00:02:56.660 Well, I did watch it last night.
00:02:58.380 I wanted to watch it and just see what they came up with.
00:03:00.540 And look, let's say this, it's Friday afternoon, Lou, and the overnights, as you know, come out at 9.30 every morning,
00:03:09.180 Eastern Daylight Time.
00:03:10.240 People price the marginal free commercial spaces there.
00:03:15.640 It's late Friday afternoon, Lou, and we still don't have the overnight.
00:03:18.720 I wonder why.
00:03:20.720 I wonder why, Steve.
00:03:22.440 I have no idea.
00:03:25.180 But, hey, maybe they're good numbers.
00:03:27.660 I don't know.
00:03:28.240 I doubt it.
00:03:29.160 And if they started good, I think after the first 15 or 20 minutes, most people moved on because it was a little slow, as we say, a little incoherent.
00:03:36.520 But, look, I want them to do this every day.
00:03:40.120 I want them to do it in primetime every day.
00:03:42.640 I want them to go on all summer.
00:03:44.920 I want it literally should be on primetime tonight.
00:03:47.040 It should be on primetime Monday for the entire summer.
00:03:49.380 I want the American people to really embrace what the Democrats are focused on, and I can't get enough of it.
00:03:54.360 I think we ought to push it out and make sure everybody sees it.
00:03:57.940 I know because I think, look, we had another historic 40-year high in inflation today.
00:04:04.420 The country is melting down.
00:04:06.160 It's a roaring dumpster fire of an economy.
00:04:13.100 Biden is not doing anything.
00:04:14.360 He wanders out to Long Beach to the port of L.A. today and gives some meandering, incoherent speech about this and supply chains.
00:04:21.840 It's all discombobulated.
00:04:23.700 So the administration is feckless and hapless when it comes to the key things, protecting the southern border, getting the economy going, everything that Trump had rolling.
00:04:32.800 And this is what they're spending time on.
00:04:34.280 I think the American people seriously ought to make sure they tune in and watch it all and see where the Democrats are spending your hard-earned money and where they spend it.
00:04:42.300 Where's their focus and where's the Biden administration's focus?
00:04:45.160 Because I've got to tell you, polling came out today that showed that I think we're going to have a 50- or 60-seat pickup at minimum to control the House, control the Senate, and then a new sheriff in town starting on January 1st, 2023.
00:04:57.220 And you and I know perfectly well that the reason for the January 6th committee was for pure political weaponization and to turn the tide back for the Biden administration as if that would be a mortal power that would be within the reach of these Dems.
00:05:18.160 The reality is this president is a completely inept, impaired, ineffective personage who most of the American people in poll after poll say is unfit for the job, yet, and this is the great riddle to me, even the corporatist media can't come to terms with that reality.
00:05:41.500 They treat him as if he were a normal, functioning human being, playing president. 0.96
00:05:47.120 Playing president, he certainly is, but being president, he's not.
00:05:51.100 I think it's going to go on, and here's why.
00:05:52.740 They have liability.
00:05:53.940 Remember, this whole thing just didn't come about.
00:05:56.460 If you go back and look at Mark Elias and the Transition Integrity Project, if you look at the cover story in Time magazine, the media, the tech oligarchs, I mean, the tech oligarchs shut Trump down.
00:06:06.140 The media was complicit in it.
00:06:07.580 They can't take liability.
00:06:08.600 They're going to play this out until the bitter end, and it's going to take investigations.
00:06:14.720 There'll be a real January 6th commission.
00:06:17.900 I had on the show this morning Rodney Davis from Illinois 13.
00:06:22.600 He's the ranking member of the House Administration Committee, and he said last night, he tweeted out in the middle of it, he says, hey, come January 1st when I'm chairman.
00:06:32.860 He says that when I'm chairman, I'm starting a real investigation of Nancy Pelosi and what went on.
00:06:37.500 And he said on the show today, on January 5th, he was given an intelligence briefing that in no way matches.
00:06:43.520 He was given the official intelligence briefing as the ranking member with his counsel and with the lead Democrat.
00:06:49.560 And he said it had no basis in reality for what he's seen in intelligence since then.
00:06:54.440 He says there's got to be a thorough investigation of this whole thing.
00:06:56.980 And, you know, the federal involvement in it, why intelligence, why nobody was there?
00:07:01.200 I mean, Officer Edwards said last night she was overwhelmed.
00:07:04.320 She asked her sergeant in the chain of command, up in the chain of command, we need more officers here. 0.82
00:07:09.740 Why did that not happen?
00:07:11.880 Why is it not planned for?
00:07:13.140 There's got to be a huge investigation, but it's got to be done right.
00:07:15.960 And the Republicans will do it right in that they will have a ranking member.
00:07:19.880 The ranking member will have a lawyer.
00:07:23.000 You'll be able to go through documents, and it's an adversary process as it's supposed to be.
00:07:26.280 That's America.
00:07:26.920 But you'll get to the bottom of this, and I believe you're going to see criminal charges actually filed when a real investigation –
00:07:34.060 criminal charges are referred to a cleaned-up Justice Department because the Justice Department and the FBI are definitely getting cleaned up after January 1st next year.
00:07:42.000 This lawlessness from the American Gestapo, which is the FBI, and the lawlessness of Merrick Garland's out-of-control Justice Department is all going to be cleaned up starting January 1st.
00:07:52.260 And so I really purport – and that's why I want more people to watch this hapless thing going on like last night.
00:08:00.520 I mean they had a TV producer kind of do some stuff.
00:08:02.800 They had some video.
00:08:03.600 They had some unconnected witnesses.
00:08:07.140 Benny Thompson had to yammer on for 20 or 30 minutes.
00:08:10.460 Dick Cheney in a wig.
00:08:12.080 Liz Cheney had to give her spiel. 1.00
00:08:15.320 So it was all there for the American people to see, and I think American people ought to think about what's important in their lives today, what's important in their community's lives, what's important in their country's life,
00:08:26.740 and compare that to the corporate media, the big tech oligarchs, and the Democratic Party.
00:08:31.140 But no, the tech oligarchs and the media are complicit in this.
00:08:35.240 They're guilty of what happened here in this steal.
00:08:38.000 There's no way they can cut and run it for this guy.
00:08:40.240 They own Joe Biden, and we're going to make sure they pay the – they're held accountable for their ownership of this disaster they forced on the country.
00:08:49.560 Remember, Lou, elections have consequences, stolen elections have catastrophic consequences, and America is living through the catastrophic consequences of Joe Biden.
00:08:58.860 And not a single, single mainstream journalist, so-called at least, is dealing with what happened.
00:09:08.740 They don't acknowledge the truth.
00:09:10.840 They finally had to acknowledge the truth of the Hunter Biden laptop.
00:09:13.800 They finally, the Washington Post and New York Times, acknowledge the reality of the content and its implications.
00:09:21.900 And the implications go – and with the book published, written by and published for the good former attorney general, Bill Barr, he acknowledges he changed history because he wouldn't intervene in the election,
00:09:36.900 even after the second final debate, even after the second final debate, in which he acknowledged he knew Joe Biden was lying about Russian information.
00:09:45.300 He was lying about the Hunter Biden laptop.
00:09:48.420 He was lying about its contents.
00:09:50.580 And that means that Bill Barr intervened in behalf of Joe Biden and turned the election right in that moment.
00:10:00.320 We know that for a fact.
00:10:01.860 There's two important things here, two important things.
00:10:04.040 Number one, I want the audience to remember that Chris Wray and Bill Barr had – the laptop from hell was in their possession in December of 2019.
00:10:15.600 They intervened in the Democratic primary.
00:10:18.420 If there had been any discussion at all, and there had to be it, they should have been immediately, given the horrible material, not just compromised by the Chinese Communist Party. 0.77
00:10:26.460 I'm talking about the pornography and the issues around child endangerment, that Rudy Giuliani went to Delaware when he got it a year later.
00:10:35.200 Bill Barr and Chris Wray intervened in the Democratic primary to the detriment of the two populace, of Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders.
00:10:46.440 One of those two I think would have been the nominee if they had interviewed what they should have done.
00:10:51.000 So that's a year before – almost a year before I got involved with Rudy and Bob Costello.
00:10:56.680 We went to the New York Post.
00:10:57.720 We also went to a couple other places that couldn't get it confirmed in time.
00:11:01.320 The New York Post could.
00:11:02.800 So that's the first thing.
00:11:04.860 The other thing is Bill Barr lied.
00:11:07.860 Bill Barr told the president to his face that he had done a study, that he based his thing about there was no – like he told – we've done a study.
00:11:17.220 We've done an analysis.
00:11:18.680 We've done analysis in DOJ, and there was no voter fraud.
00:11:21.540 He told Trump that in the Oval Office to his face.
00:11:24.440 There's nowhere in this book.
00:11:25.800 You go by his book.
00:11:26.660 There's no mention of him doing a study or a report or anything.
00:11:31.620 There's no mention of any meetings.
00:11:33.680 There's no mention.
00:11:34.740 And that's what we're going to investigate.
00:11:35.900 Bill Barr is going to get investigated this whole thing.
00:11:37.540 The big steal – you already should understand.
00:11:41.120 The big steal is going to be one of the top priorities of the House coming in to get to the bottom of it, okay?
00:11:46.480 To get to the bottom of the machines, to get to the bottom of the mainland ballots, to get to the bottom of Zuckerberg.
00:11:51.760 All of it is all going to be investigated.
00:11:54.020 It's a huge priority.
00:11:55.260 We're going to get to the bottom of it, and all the liars are going to be out of it. 0.98
00:11:58.780 And Bill Barr is one of the biggest liars. 0.70
00:12:00.540 Well, I want to see right now – Bill Barr, does he have a copy? 0.81
00:12:03.760 Can he refer us to a copy?
00:12:05.000 Can he tell us what the cover note said?
00:12:07.360 Can he tell us anything about a study or report or analysis that he told the president?
00:12:12.140 He doesn't even go in the way.
00:12:13.020 He says, no, we've looked.
00:12:14.760 We've done an analysis.
00:12:16.120 We've done a study.
00:12:17.600 There was no voter fraud whatsoever in the 2020 election.
00:12:22.240 That's what he told Trump, right?
00:12:23.800 Not based – what is it based upon?
00:12:25.320 He lied.
00:12:26.360 He just made that up.
00:12:27.440 And Trump – they're making it like Trump – oh, that's a criminal attempt because – no, Trump disagreed with him.
00:12:32.640 Disagree with him to his face.
00:12:33.760 He says, you're wrong.
00:12:34.700 I've seen these other reports, these other analyses.
00:12:37.180 And those analyses are right.
00:12:38.440 And we're not going to back off this.
00:12:39.700 They think that we're going to back off this because of what they're doing.
00:12:42.040 They're just incorrect.
00:12:43.800 We have built an army of the awakened at every level, at a school board level, at canvassing board levels, at election board levels, eventually at medical board levels.
00:12:54.240 And we're going to replace the source-backed district attorneys.
00:12:57.680 We're going to put our people in the secretaries of state.
00:13:00.040 We're going to run these elections as they should be done.
00:13:02.640 And we don't care what the left thinks about it.
00:13:04.740 We don't care what the mainstream media does.
00:13:06.480 And particularly, we do not care what the Department of Justice and the Democratic Party can care less.
00:13:11.340 We could care less.
00:13:12.440 Could care less.
00:13:13.620 And we dare them.
00:13:15.000 I dare DOJ to try to come in and stop Americans and their rightful – their rights as citizens to participate in this democracy.
00:13:23.020 I dare them.
00:13:23.680 Dare them.
00:13:24.220 Let's see.
00:13:24.600 Come on.
00:13:24.980 Bring it.
00:13:25.540 Bring it.
00:13:26.860 Yeah.
00:13:27.440 Guess what?
00:13:28.140 Just in, on Mediate, ex-Fox News editor Chris Starwalt, who blames the network for fueling the Capitol riot, blames the network, will testify at the hearings.
00:13:44.740 I mean, that's going to be quite something.
00:13:47.540 You've dealt with Starwalt a lot longer than I have, but I will just – Lou, that's one for you.
00:13:54.100 Who tells them about Chris Starwalt, I mean, a guy that bailed around Fox forever and they kept him around.
00:13:59.720 But, I mean, it's another marginalia.
00:14:02.160 I mean, who cares what Chris Starwalt thinks.
00:14:04.140 But that's their big guess.
00:14:05.460 They've been humping this all day.
00:14:07.280 Some big executives, some big editors, some big shot over at Fox, and you're bringing me Chris Starwalt.
00:14:14.240 I mean, it's – the pitch – this is about – Lou, this is why on Friday afternoon we don't have the overnight shot that come out at 9.30 in the morning Eastern time because they – remember, little Jamie Raskin ran around – what was his quote last week?
00:14:29.100 We are going to blow the lid off the Capitol.
00:14:32.200 Oh, yeah.
00:14:32.400 That's what he kept saying.
00:14:33.620 And you know, they pitched – hey, the broadcast networks did not willingly want to go do this, okay?
00:14:39.880 They did not willingly go do this.
00:14:41.580 They've seen the ratings in CNN and MSNBC while they've humped this for a year, and their ratings have cratered.
00:14:47.860 So they're not – they don't think that's quite right for a broadcast audience.
00:14:51.540 So they took – they were forced into it, and now – and they were promised the world.
00:14:57.740 They were promised, oh, my God, you got an insurrection.
00:15:00.240 You got a coup.
00:15:01.240 You got Trump.
00:15:02.280 You got all these bad guys.
00:15:03.640 It's going to be mesmerizing.
00:15:05.400 I don't know, Lou.
00:15:06.360 I kind of noticed – I thought I noticed some flop sweat last night when I was watching this.
00:15:10.820 So – and all I'm saying is Friday afternoon, and we don't have the numbers.
00:15:14.500 So I'm going to stand by – Chris Starwalt.
00:15:18.480 That's a classic.
00:15:19.820 That's a capper, isn't it?
00:15:21.920 This is one of the guys who got all fevered up and called the election for Biden in Arizona.
00:15:32.320 He's – you know, I'm not going to characterize him or even describe him or tell you what I think of him.
00:15:37.720 But let me ask you one thing.
00:15:39.980 No, just for your audience.
00:15:41.460 I mean, he – in the pantheon of Fox and even behind-the-scenes guys of people that were in the know and did the work and serious people you turned to,
00:15:52.080 you would not put Chris Starwalt among the go-to guys in the Fox News infrastructure or system.
00:15:59.280 Is that correct, Lou?
00:16:00.160 I'll put it this way.
00:16:03.640 I didn't bring him on my show because – for obviously broadcast reasons.
00:16:11.940 I'll put it that way.
00:16:13.080 I didn't find him consequential in his thinking and unhelpful to the audience.
00:16:19.680 So, to see this boil up in the January 6th committee just sort of keeps the picture complete.
00:16:30.280 It's madness.
00:16:32.180 It's absurdity.
00:16:33.420 It is farce.
00:16:34.460 And at the same time, ineptitude produced large rather than writ because – what's his name? 0.93
00:16:43.640 Goldson from ABC is trying to save this stinker, and it just ain't going to happen.
00:16:50.700 As a matter of fact, he may be –
00:16:51.640 Hold on, Lou.
00:16:51.840 Hold on.
00:16:52.540 Hold on.
00:16:53.340 I want to give the audience some inside baseball as only Lou Dobbs can give it.
00:16:56.940 I don't remember, Lou, and maybe you can help me out here.
00:17:01.200 I don't remember Nightline actually being known for scintillating packages of news.
00:17:07.380 It was Ted Koppel basically talking – no, when they said, oh, they hired the guy that was at Nightline.
00:17:12.860 I was going, I don't ever remember Nightline even doing any – even an interesting package.
00:17:18.100 Much less something when people go, I got to watch Nightline tonight because I got to see the open with the package.
00:17:23.100 I mean, you're one of the veterans in this industry.
00:17:26.940 Nightline was built on Ted Koppel, and the hostage crisis became a staple before we really went to cable, right?
00:17:32.740 It was great for its time, but it was never known.
00:17:37.180 They say, oh, we're hiring the guy from Nightline.
00:17:39.200 I go, oh, my God.
00:17:40.640 And by the way, that's why I was so boring last night.
00:17:43.260 It was very paint-by-numbers.
00:17:44.840 It was very legalistic.
00:17:46.180 It was virtually incoherent.
00:17:47.900 I mean, even if they had a story and want to get to a broadcast audience, 10, 20, 30 million Americans, you had to have somebody that really had that skill set.
00:17:57.860 And clearly, last night, I could just tell professional, let me leave what I think of the details and the content aside. 0.95
00:18:03.840 Just the way it was structured for trying to get an audience in, Lou, was pretty pathetic. 0.68
00:18:10.400 And I'm sure the broadcast guys are very upset. 0.91
00:18:12.120 I believe the broadcast guys are sitting there going, we were lied to.
00:18:15.660 You know, Raph and these guys told us all these revelations, all this amazing footage, all these amazing witnesses.
00:18:22.680 And, you know, we got Benny Thompson and Dick Cheney in a wig and, you know, lecturing us, lecturing us for the first 45 minutes.
00:18:31.380 And we don't think a lot of viewers stuck around past the first five, any that even dialed in.
00:18:35.500 Yeah, any that did dial in were probably mad Marxists themselves, and they were dispirited, I'm sure.
00:18:42.700 And we should remind everybody, this ABC fella is basically best known for covering up the Jeffrey Epstein case while he was exercising great editorial judgment at ABC.
00:18:57.360 By the way, I've got to give, I got to give him credit to the January 6th committee for one thing.
00:19:02.180 When you're going to produce a lie, a great place to go is CBS, ABC, and NBC News.
00:19:09.700 But even then, you know, there are higher skill sets at both NBC and CBS than the gentleman they selected.
00:19:19.740 So, but the instinct was right.
00:19:22.180 But, you know, certain lies, you can't produce your way to any kind of appeal, despite the immense success of 60 Minutes.
00:19:30.980 But they should have gone right, they should have gone right to the 60 Minutes guys.
00:19:34.580 Those guys could spin anything.
00:19:35.940 So that's the type of professionalism they need.
00:19:38.240 But as Louis, you know, being in the business, what, 40 or 50 years, you have to get, you have to get an audience's attention.
00:19:45.160 The best way to give them attention is giving meaningful information that they can feel is something that they can use in their lives.
00:19:52.380 And that's why I think this thing last night was an overreach.
00:19:55.500 And look, the online, I know because I monitored the online traffic.
00:20:00.460 The online traffic was the minimus.
00:20:02.040 I mean, there wasn't, nothing went viral.
00:20:04.260 There was very, even the blue check guys weren't particularly enthusiastic about it.
00:20:07.420 People under 40, it was almost no content, no interaction at all.
00:20:13.500 So it was not viral.
00:20:14.660 It had no virality to it.
00:20:15.980 But the videos really didn't play.
00:20:18.340 So it's, it's, that's why I had no buzz.
00:20:20.380 I said yesterday beforehand, you know how things are when people anticipate, particularly in New York and D.C.
00:20:25.460 New York and D.C. are two, what I call front runner towns.
00:20:28.540 You know when something's hot.
00:20:29.920 You know when somebody's hot.
00:20:31.460 And it just had no buildup to it.
00:20:33.380 It wasn't hot.
00:20:34.660 Last night didn't deliver.
00:20:35.960 You haven't really heard any.
00:20:37.540 They've been yammering on about, you know, the broad, the cable guys, MSNBC and CNN.
00:20:43.800 But there's been no, nothing put forward to how big the audience was and what the response of the audience.
00:20:48.620 I think that they understand they got a bomb here.
00:20:50.940 And, you know, I said, but to my point, I would like more people to see it because I want more independent and young people to know where the Democrats are spending their time.
00:20:59.600 I think it's a terrific idea.
00:21:01.900 I think, I mean, let's be honest, this thing made C-SPAN look electric and exciting and compelling.
00:21:11.920 And it's devastating.
00:21:15.000 You've got to have some semblance of truth if you're going to pretend and try to carry out a fraud on the air.
00:21:25.200 You've got to have some element of truth.
00:21:27.820 There is none.
00:21:29.040 The video wasn't available.
00:21:30.620 The moments weren't available.
00:21:33.520 We know that there are, you know, some 800 Americans who've been imprisoned by these ideological mad Marxists who are driving their way into the abyss.
00:21:47.220 Listen, this is where I think the investigation has to go.
00:21:50.660 We have to go back to the beginning.
00:21:52.600 We have to see about the intel, what people knew, where it was in the chain of command, why there was nothing but, you know,
00:21:59.620 I'm very familiar with Capitol Hill having, I have a house up here.
00:22:02.480 I know the Capitol Hill police very well.
00:22:04.440 We know what they're trained for and what they're not trained for.
00:22:07.120 That day there was a handful of, there was a handful of Capitol Hill police and a few bike racks.
00:22:11.480 That's obvious.
00:22:12.160 And people, we have to get, we have to go through the whole chain of custody of where the intel is.
00:22:16.680 Look, to have a guy like Rodney Davis, who's not a fire breather.
00:22:20.020 I mean, this is a steady Eddie guy from Illinois.
00:22:22.440 He comes on and said last night, he's tweeting out.
00:22:24.460 He says, Hey, I'm, I am chairing a committee on January 3rd, the day after we're sworn in and we're going to get to the bottom of this.
00:22:31.140 He says, I was lied to on the house.
00:22:33.420 And as the ranking member with my council, he said, something stinks to high heaven here.
00:22:38.200 I've got to, I've just got to get your reaction to one tweet last night from Hillary Clinton.
00:22:45.560 She tweeted this.
00:22:47.580 Are you ready?
00:22:48.720 Steve?
00:22:49.540 It's pretty simple.
00:22:50.980 Hold on.
00:22:51.640 Hold on.
00:22:51.980 Hang on.
00:22:52.420 Hang on.
00:22:53.240 Hang on.
00:22:53.820 Don't pick on my girl.
00:22:55.280 Okay.
00:22:56.080 Don't pick on my girl.
00:22:58.500 I got a very fun part place in my heart for her.
00:23:01.580 Okay.
00:23:02.060 So don't pick, don't pick, don't be cruel.
00:23:04.560 Don't be cruel.
00:23:05.200 Okay.
00:23:05.340 Give it to me.
00:23:06.080 Give it to me.
00:23:06.540 Here she goes.
00:23:07.580 It's pretty simple.
00:23:09.120 We have a right to choose our own leaders.
00:23:11.940 We can't let anyone take that right away from us.
00:23:15.980 The people involved in the criminal conspiracy to overturn the will of America's voters, which culminated in the attempted coup of January 6th,
00:23:25.980 must be held accountable.
00:23:28.560 That from the author of three years of FBI investigations of President Trump, a special counsel investigation for almost two years of President Trump,
00:23:39.580 two impeachments of President Trump, and the continued persecution that has now entered its seventh year from the Democratic Party at large. 0.86
00:23:50.320 Can it get any more sickening than this woman and her deceit? 1.00
00:23:57.360 Lou, I can't believe, I told you, didn't we have a deal you weren't going to pick on my girl? 0.94
00:24:02.160 Yes, we did.
00:24:03.780 Here's the reality.
00:24:06.180 She's all in in 2024.
00:24:07.520 She's up in the bullpen.
00:24:10.140 Oh, yeah, no, 100%.
00:24:12.540 Everybody knows her.
00:24:15.020 She's seething right now because she thinks Biden, having stolen this, has now blown the whole thing. 0.98
00:24:21.080 And she's kicking herself in the butt for not running in 2020. 0.98
00:24:27.160 Here's the reality. 0.98
00:24:28.480 She's looking around and says, look, the only real competitor out there is Gavin Newsom, right?
00:24:32.620 Gavin Newsom is going to win big in November.
00:24:34.900 He's going to be sitting on $200 million in cash.
00:24:36.600 It's going to be the tech oligarchs, Hollywood. 0.99
00:24:39.540 It's going to be California versus America, MAGA versus, woke versus MAGA, and Newsom versus Trump, unless Hillary intercedes. 1.00
00:24:47.880 Biden and Kamala Harris are irrelevant in this drama.
00:24:50.380 So she right now is strategically trying to go like last night and put that kind of nonsense out because here's why. 0.59
00:24:56.400 This entire process has an audience of one.
00:25:00.400 The audience of one is Merrick Garland.
00:25:02.900 The Democrats understand we're going to have a sweeping, crushing victory here in November and I think destroy the Democratic Party as a national political institution.
00:25:10.180 But if you look at the calendar, if you look at the cycle for the Senate in 24, it's even better.
00:25:14.840 I mean we could literally take the Senate and have 60 seats by 24 and Trump back in the White House.
00:25:20.400 The only way they're going to stop us is to try to indict Donald Trump.
00:25:24.960 Now, it's absurd on the face of it, right?
00:25:27.180 If you had any information, the DOJ would need a public hearing of broadcast TV by people.
00:25:33.300 But that's what they got.
00:25:34.780 And Hillary, I'm telling you, Hillary's out with the sweatpants. 1.00
00:25:37.460 She's working out every day. 0.74
00:25:38.700 She's going to start getting a little tan. 1.00
00:25:40.860 She's like Nixon.
00:25:42.300 Like Nixon, they don't go away.
00:25:44.760 You are painting some very, very tough pictures for us here.
00:25:51.420 I want to ask you.
00:25:52.980 What is better?
00:25:54.760 What is better than having Hillary Clinton back involved in this thing? 1.00
00:25:57.600 Oh, she's like Nixon.
00:26:00.520 They won't go away.
00:26:02.460 Just like Nixon, it won't go away.
00:26:04.360 It's relentless, the ambition.
00:26:07.460 Well, she has been, I suppose, at the margin, entertaining, but also sort of evil and venomous.
00:26:15.680 So I think the balance, on balance, I just do not have her anywhere near public life.
00:26:22.580 Let me ask you this.
00:26:24.200 You've sued the January 6th committee.
00:26:26.400 And I've got to say, good for you.
00:26:29.100 You have refused their subpoena.
00:26:31.900 Where does that suit stand?
00:26:35.280 Where do you stand with the January 6th committee?
00:26:37.680 Actually, I did better than so.
00:26:39.760 I actually have subpoenaed them.
00:26:41.680 I subpoenaed them.
00:26:43.600 By the way, Peter Navarra sued them.
00:26:46.900 Peter Navarra sued them.
00:26:47.880 I kind of wish I thought of that.
00:26:49.020 No, we'll be in court next week.
00:26:51.480 The judge will make decisions on certain things, and we'll see where we go.
00:26:54.320 It's a process.
00:26:55.020 You know, we're fully engaged in the process.
00:26:57.780 It's just that, hey, if, you know, they're accusing me of all this stuff, if they do it, I've got to be able to mount a defense.
00:27:04.200 That's the American way.
00:27:05.500 I think I need a couple of three witnesses.
00:27:07.440 So we subpoenaed some people.
00:27:08.960 We'll see the judge will make decisions starting next week, and we'll see how this thing all plays out.
00:27:13.220 So it's, you know, stay tuned.
00:27:14.400 I go out of my way on the show not to talk about it because, to me, that's noise.
00:27:19.060 I focus on the most important issues we've got.
00:27:22.360 I think we've done a pretty good job, and we've helped drive Biden's approvals down into the, you know, it's 22%.
00:27:29.300 The Quinnipiac today has him at 22% approval among young adults, has him at 28% approval among Hispanics, has him 33% approval among all Americans, and I think among independent voters is like 26%.
00:27:42.140 So Joe Biden's presidency is essentially over, as we said it would be, and it's time now to start thinking about how we're going to destroy the Democratic Party as a national political institution this fall.
00:27:52.440 And then, really, as you know, Lou, the hardest part then comes in January, getting these rhinos and establishment types to really get on point, you know, train them up on MAGA, and let's get on with starting to shut down the Biden administration and starting to take apart the administrative state. 0.77
00:28:07.220 See, there's a difference between Steve Bannon and Lou Dobbs.
00:28:11.120 Steve Bannon wants to convert them.
00:28:13.740 I want to purge them.
00:28:18.580 All right, Steve, you've been great, as always.
00:28:22.420 Thanks so much for being with us, brother.
00:28:24.200 Lou, I love doing this show.
00:28:26.280 I love your audience, and obviously I love you.
00:28:29.080 I'm very fond of everything you as a person and everything you've done for the country.
00:28:33.920 And I've got to tell you, if we listen to Lou Dobbs and Donald Trump, we would not be in the financial situation or in the day the economic situation.
00:28:42.380 So we've got a lot of – you've got to stay healthy, sir.
00:28:44.320 We've got a lot of work ahead of us, a lot of work, a lot of work ahead of us.
00:28:47.480 Well, same back to you.
00:28:49.080 And thanks for everything you've done and are doing for the country.
00:28:54.140 We've got important battles to win this year and, well, I'm sure in perpetuity.
00:29:00.760 But like you, I enjoy a good fight, and especially when the fight is worth having, this one is one we must win.
00:29:09.520 Thanks so much, Steve Bannon.
00:29:11.540 Thanks, Lou.
00:29:12.220 Thanks for being with us today.
00:29:14.920 And tomorrow our guest is Adam Laxall.
00:29:17.340 He's the Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate from the great state of Nevada, former Nevada State Attorney General and President Trump's re-election campaign co-chairman in Nevada with some stories to tell.
00:29:30.300 So be with us tomorrow right here on The Great America Show.
00:29:34.880 Till then, God bless you, and God bless America.
