Transcript

00:00:00.000 Hello, everybody. I'm Lou Dobbs. Welcome to The Great America Show. Wonderful of you to join us
00:00:05.200 here today. And our guest today is Steve Bannon. He hosts one of the highest rated shows in
00:00:11.400 podcasting, The War Room. Steve was assistant to President Trump as chief strategist, CEO of the
00:00:18.240 2016 Trump campaign. And before all of that, Steve served as a naval officer. He worked on Wall
00:00:24.640 Street, a Hollywood producer, an entrepreneur, and a conservative activist, a patriot, a great
00:00:31.420 American, and a true MAGA warrior. Today, I'm delighted to have him with us discussing the
00:00:37.240 latest Biden outrages, including staying silent for more than two months about what appear to be
00:00:43.860 stolen classified documents in the possession of then former Vice President Joe Biden till now.
00:00:51.360 The documents found by President Biden's personal attorneys, coincidentally, just less than a week
00:00:57.240 before the November midterm elections. And all of the Biden scandal in context amounts to this,
00:01:04.780 the takeover of the U.S. government by the Marxist Dems who run the Democrat Party and the deep state
00:01:11.760 who managed the puppet president, Joe Biden. And now with that settled, our good friend,
00:01:17.480 Steve Bannon. Steve, welcome. Great to have you with us. The Secret Service first telling Congress
00:01:23.280 that there are no visitor logs. The country, as one yells to the Secret Service, you're liars and
00:01:30.100 you're not good liars. Three days later, the Secret Service says, never mind. We do have visitor names and
00:01:37.360 we will give you those visitor names. Not a good start for the deep state defenders team, was it?
00:01:43.720 I do. Look, the whole thing is obviously there's a lot more here than meets the eye. And what I
00:01:50.960 continue to say, Lou, is let's just drive a stake in because of both a crime and then there's a cover
00:01:57.860 up. And I think here normally the cover up's bigger than the crime, but I think the crimes here are
00:02:02.520 pretty big. For the audience, I would just say drive a stake into the date to November
00:02:07.220 of 2022. The CCP Penn Biden Center. Why were Biden's lawyers the most, you know, dialed in people in
00:02:19.400 Washington because everybody wants to be the president's lawyer. These are not, this is not
00:02:22.900 White House counsel. That's the, that's the lawyers who are the lawyers for the office of the president,
00:02:28.720 whether it's Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, FDR, Ronald Reagan, Donald Trump, or Joe Biden.
00:02:35.760 They represent the office. This is his personal attorneys. Why are they rummaging around
00:02:40.620 in a closet at that center in Washington, D.C., finding highly classified compartment at Top Secret
00:02:48.940 that have been missing or been out, you know, out of the chain of custody, it appears, for seven years.
00:02:55.420 Why are they there? When did they find out about it? What, if you drive a stake and go back
00:03:00.420 in time, and that's the timeline we need from, if, if justice is not going to give it, we need it for,
00:03:07.260 and the Biden White House is clearly not going to give it, we need one of these committees to get it.
00:03:11.020 That's, that to me shows you the scale of these crimes and the crimes are going to be pretty horrific.
00:03:16.400 Of course, everything on the cover up is, is been totally amateur hour. But I got to tell you,
00:03:21.480 Lou, I think if you drive a stake in November 2nd and go back, the date of 8 August is going to really
00:03:28.100 become quite prominent because I think there was a lot of activity on this Biden situation that people
00:03:33.560 knew about in, in, in, at high levels that precipitated the, the jackbooted raid that was
00:03:40.460 totally unnecessary. I mean, it's the first time it really makes sense. I was saying, why would the FBI
00:03:44.000 be so heavy handed? Why would they do this? They just want to get the Trump base even more fired up
00:03:49.520 for 2024. I think now you understand, I think people are understanding why now, because something
00:03:54.200 was going on about how you have a misdirection play. And that's why I think 8 August, the timeline
00:04:00.040 when it's finally comes out is going to be quite revelatory. As you point out, Steve, there, those,
00:04:08.580 the negotiations between the president and the archives for those documents at Mar-a-Lago,
00:04:16.160 presumably at Mar-a-Lago have been going on for over a year. And all of a sudden there's
00:04:23.020 extraordinary urgency on the part of the FBI and the department of justice. They take a phone from
00:04:30.100 a librarian over at the archives who launches all these ships in the middle of the night to go to
00:04:36.600 war with a former president. None of it made sense, but you're right now. Hold on, hang on,
00:04:43.360 hang on right there. You brought up a great point. I want to connect dots. The same archivist,
00:04:49.140 this is why it never made sense at the time, but it's starting to make sense at least to me,
00:04:52.960 and this is how I got to wrap my head around it, and other smart people who I know are working on
00:04:57.500 this right now. The archivist is central because the archivist somehow got so upset and talked to
00:05:05.160 that precipitated the move on, you know, so urgent, so absolutely urgent for that archivist
00:05:12.540 to get those documents that you had to send a jackbooted, you know, SWAT team, FBI, all up-armored
00:05:18.700 with weapons, all of it, to a secure presidential, you know, presidential residence who has total
00:05:25.660 declassification in Mar-a-Lago on 8 August. The same archivist, they admit they contacted the
00:05:31.720 archivist, I think on the November 2nd they're talking about, nothing from the archivist until
00:05:38.820 January, and these are, we know, much more sensitive documents of compartmented, and just
00:05:46.100 for your audience, you know, you have confidential, secret, top secret, and then above top secret,
00:05:51.780 they want it to be compartmented, so just people in certain verticals understand what's going on.
00:05:57.320 These are the highest secrets of the U.S. government. To know that you had someone
00:06:01.300 crane, that archivist, the same archivist that precipitated FBI, DOJ, that had to get to Mar-a-Lago,
00:06:09.040 why were they dead silent from November 2nd, it looks like, Lou, until mid-January?
00:06:14.760 One of the ironic points in this is that the archivists were contacted theoretically, at least
00:06:22.660 so goes the timeline of the White House. They make a discovery of the personal lawyers for the
00:06:31.320 president, as you said. On the 2nd, they alert the archivists. On the 3rd, they don't do anything
00:06:38.780 until the 4th. It's really a peculiar sort of situation, and when they do contact the White House,
00:06:47.340 there's no concern about the lawyers for the president, their security clearances. We're
00:06:53.740 talking about, after all, as you're pointing out, we're talking about sensitive, classified
00:06:58.180 information, the highest level of top secret documents, and there's no problem. They cleared,
00:07:06.560 everyone should remember, they cleared Mar-a-Lago. No lawyers could get near the president's office
00:07:12.700 while the FBI was in there. All of the people were pushed back at Mar-a-Lago. They could not disturb
00:07:20.040 any part of the search and seizure activities of the FBI. In this case, they're saying...
00:07:26.260 You're so good.
00:07:28.060 The FBI is going to go through it all.
00:07:30.660 This is when Lou Dobbs is at his best, because quite frankly, it's going to tie together so many
00:07:35.320 threads that you've been investigating for years. Now, what's even more incredible about that
00:07:42.060 is that because the people around the president, many of the lawyers, like Christine Bobb, people
00:07:46.780 have high security clearances, and you're correct, and you're right. To do their search and seizure,
00:07:52.120 I might say their search and seizure in lieu, let's even say it, maybe their search, seizure,
00:07:56.800 and plant, okay, and plant. They clear the premises. Yet at the CCP, a center that is funded by the
00:08:07.260 Chinese Communist Party, right, for the University of Pennsylvania with $70 million given to them,
00:08:12.060 it is, Lou, let's say this, brother. It's a target-rich environment on this investigation,
00:08:19.580 including the lies and the misrepresentation. I think for the audience, the lies of the White
00:08:24.240 House you expect, but I believe you're seeing Merrick Garland and the FBI absolutely run cover
00:08:31.680 for Biden, and I think these guys are going to be very careful about impeachments themselves.
00:08:36.700 Merrick Garland and all of DOJ is going to be investigated deeply in this. FBI is going to be
00:08:41.000 investigated deeply on this. This is outrageous. To me, it's impeachment-level high crimes and
00:08:47.440 misdemeanors by Merrick Garland and people in the Justice Department, and so I would tell folks
00:08:51.980 this is as serious as it gets. Yeah, I believe that's absolutely true, and I love the way the
00:08:59.280 national media has covered this, too, as always. I love the way the national left-wing corporatist media
00:09:04.360 covers things, but did you notice the New York Times, the Washington Post, and others,
00:09:11.400 they talk about the press. It was reported on CBS. They don't say that someone leaked the story to
00:09:19.300 CBS News or to a specific reporter or editor or manager at CBS. They just say CBS reported it,
00:09:27.180 as if the intrepid reporter through his or her intrepid energies discovered this themselves.
00:09:37.640 This was leaked to CBS, and otherwise we wouldn't know a thing from this White House,
00:09:43.200 and that was quite an important out for them. That set up an entirely different predicate
00:09:49.980 for the information that would flow thereafter, didn't it? Well, in selective leaks, obviously.
00:09:57.220 Anytime NBC or CBS are getting this type of information, it's being given to them strategically
00:10:05.160 from the regime about how to build narrative, right? The reality is Biden, through I think the
00:10:13.540 Biden regime, through arrogance and incompetence, and I think you're seeing this now in the White
00:10:18.620 House, you know, the spokesman at the press office, is so amateurish that even in doing the leaks,
00:10:24.820 they don't even have the timeline right. You know, the whole thing about what I say from
00:10:28.560 2 November till today is the cover-up, and that has been so amateurishly handled, Lou, that even
00:10:37.060 with their targeted leaks, they've kind of lost control of the narrative, and not just conservative
00:10:43.260 media, but even some of the mainstream media, because it's so in your face about how much they're lying
00:10:48.860 and how much they're spinning. And we haven't even gotten to, they particularly, here's what they want
00:10:53.260 to do, and I would tell your audience to focus on, they will only want us to focus on
00:10:57.680 the cover-up, okay? And that's bad enough. They don't want to talk about how you got to 2 November.
00:11:04.340 How you got to 2 November is going to be the substance of it, because remember, he has no ability
00:11:09.260 to declassify. There's some talk, there's some executive order out there from Obama, I don't care,
00:11:14.000 hey, they're, you know, a third of the executive orders get overturned when you go to the Supreme
00:11:18.780 Court. The president doesn't have the power to delegate this authority to declassify, okay? And I
00:11:24.420 think that's got to be tested in the Supreme Court. President Trump does have the ability to
00:11:28.380 declassify. So you're comparing apples and oranges, although the press are going to say, well, that's so
00:11:32.860 much terrible that Trump, because they were there for a year. No, Trump is in a negotiation about
00:11:37.040 what's presidential records, and what should go to the archives. You know, what should go in his,
00:11:41.920 he should keep personally as a former commander-in-chief, what should go in his papers that
00:11:46.680 he sends to his library, and what gets sent to the National Archives. Here, Biden, if for 70,
00:11:54.200 he has no chain of custody. And remember, just for your audience, Lou, when you're at a compartmental level,
00:12:01.720 this is just not some memo that gets sent around. You are specifically with a big cover of a big,
00:12:06.180 you know, red cover, you know, piece of cardboard on top of it. It is specifically given to you
00:12:12.600 as having a compartmental clearance. There's a direct chain of custody. It doesn't come to your
00:12:17.480 secretary. It doesn't come to your body man. It doesn't come to the first lady. It comes to Joe
00:12:21.900 Biden. That is very specifically tracked. The chain of custody here was clearly broken because the
00:12:27.500 documents were moved at least several times we know of from on Biden. It went to where we put it in
00:12:34.280 storage first, then went to the CCP Penn Center and may have gone to other interim locations from
00:12:39.680 this. So this is what, seven years or six years now, and with no chain of custody. So this is a
00:12:47.440 major federal crime. And a federal crime, there are many people in Leavenworth right now
00:12:51.820 serving many years because of the handling of highly compartmental classified information,
00:12:57.860 much less worse than, than Biden's doing. Well, you, uh, as a, as a former Navy officer,
00:13:04.700 I'm sure remember the circumstance in which a sailor aboard a nuclear submarine, uh, apparently
00:13:11.620 harmlessly was taking pictures and happened to take pictures of sensitive equipment on the, uh,
00:13:17.300 on the counting, uh, uh, tower for the submarine inadvertently. He maintains and was sentenced to
00:13:24.560 years in prison just for, for having taken that photo. Uh, and you know, now suddenly when it
00:13:30.960 happens in Washington, DC, and let's use the word inadvertently, uh, this is a major crime if you're
00:13:38.320 a Republican and it's just mishandling. If you're a Democrat, it's that stark. It is that, uh, absurdly,
00:13:46.040 uh, uh, unbalanced, uh, when it comes to the treatment of the deep state, isn't it?
00:13:50.560 It's, it's, it's night and day. You have people in Leavenworth. I think there's an example,
00:13:56.860 somebody just told me about of, uh, individual that took it, took it, uh, home, even inadvertently
00:14:02.140 took it home, found it was there and it was doing some work on it. This has spent, it spent years in
00:14:06.900 Leavenworth. Like I said, the, the, the, the, you can only look at these in the skiff. The West Wing
00:14:13.060 is considered a skiff. Obviously the, the, the, the Kennedy, uh, the national security, the, the,
00:14:19.260 the, uh, situation room and everything right below the West Wing, obviously is also a skiff,
00:14:24.220 but you, you can keep a highly compartmented in only in certain offices in the White House.
00:14:29.180 If you have those clearances on very few people have those clearances to think that this information
00:14:34.520 was put in boxes and just put around is really mind-boggling. Uh, people would be with
00:14:40.800 equal justice in the law. You would spend decades or more in prison because of that.
00:14:46.100 And you bring up skiffs. Uh, people forget president Trump, the former president had a skiff
00:14:51.840 at Mar-a-Lago, uh, in that, uh, in the office area of Mar-a-Lago, he had also 24 seven secret
00:15:00.140 service protection in that area, whether he was there or not. Uh, and everyone wants to compare that
00:15:07.480 suddenly now to, uh, Joe Biden's locked garage. Uh, it's an absurdity and the corporate media is
00:15:16.460 doing a maximum limited hangout, uh, in trying to cover for him right now with their so-called
00:15:23.280 reporting. You bring up another brilliant point, uh, that I think people, uh, the media hasn't,
00:15:30.620 hasn't thought about this, but you're correct. So, so the Penn center, it has no skiff,
00:15:34.680 has no secret service. And that to me is the biggest smoking gun. How did, how did he get
00:15:39.200 there? But let's go to the house for a second. It's interesting. It's interesting. Uh, as many
00:15:45.840 weekends, you know, Joe Biden, I think has spent, spent almost every weekend virtually in the Delaware,
00:15:51.620 in the Wilmington house, right. Or at the beach house of Rehoboth, one of the two, um, president
00:15:56.820 Trump in Mar-a-Lago has a skiff. Why the commander chief needs to go at certain times, talk to international
00:16:01.620 leaders. We use it on several occasions when he launched the, the attack, uh, the, uh, cruise
00:16:07.480 missile attack in Syria. We use it, you know, for China, you know, Korea, all types of things would
00:16:12.940 come up and you have to go to the skiff. It's a very, a significant portion, portion of Mar-a-Lago.
00:16:19.680 Isn't it interesting, Lou, that they're talking about now? Yes. The secret service is clearly
00:16:24.280 Wilmington and Rehoboth. So they actually do keep a log of who came in and out. So the white house
00:16:29.020 didn't keep a log, but the secret service did. But you know, what's interesting is Joe Biden,
00:16:34.120 there's no mention of a skiff at either house. You can build a skiff. You can create a skiff in
00:16:38.240 either house. You can do it just like they did in Mar-a-Lago. It takes a little construction.
00:16:42.280 You have to do it, but you can get a skiff. Joe Biden spends weekends, uh, at this house all the
00:16:49.080 time. And if they had a skiff, they would have mentioned that immediately, right. They would have
00:16:53.580 mentioned that, oh yeah, well, the papers were there. Maybe the boxes are there. There appears to be no skiff,
00:16:59.020 I mean, he's commander in chief. I know they keep the football near him as they keep any
00:17:02.260 commander in chief, but this is a guy that I think phones it in a lot. I think part of it's his age,
00:17:07.620 part of it's just disinclination to get engaged on certain topics, but it's quite interesting in
00:17:12.480 their defense. They haven't run to the thing and said, oh, well, there's a skiff there and the
00:17:16.520 secret service there, just like Mar-a-Lago. Mar-a-Lago is fairly a secured compound, right? It's,
00:17:22.460 it's quite impossible to get in and out there unless you know who's coming in and out.
00:17:26.300 Uh, not the same in Wilmington. And as we know now, this whole thing of the payments of Hunter
00:17:30.740 Biden, did that really cash, the cash flows match up with what he's getting from CEF and other CCP.
00:17:36.760 It's very confusing about this Wilmington, uh, this Wilmington, uh, house, but what it looks like
00:17:43.840 is the president has no skiff there. Otherwise they would, the media would have come forward and
00:17:47.520 hammered this about it. Well, it sort of ties back to having no skiff, apparently, since they have
00:17:54.380 not brought that up, which would be certainly something to mitigate some of this, uh, if at
00:17:58.640 least he had a skiff and the wind had blown it out of there or whatever. Uh, but he, it's now reported
00:18:05.920 that as vice president, uh, people may not know this, but the vice president also has access to
00:18:12.740 the nuclear football, uh, that, uh, that the president carries in case something does happen to the
00:18:18.320 president. Uh, and he insisted that the secret service, uh, be positioned and the, uh, the officer,
00:18:27.440 the, the military officers carrying the, the, uh, nuclear football be a mile behind him, uh, in,
00:18:35.480 whenever they were traveling, which meant that effectively, if something did happen urgently on a
00:18:41.800 national emergency requiring response from the U S military, he couldn't have done a thing, uh, in all
00:18:48.300 likelihood, uh, in the time it would take, uh, in traffic to, to get to the, to the vice president.
00:18:54.600 This is, this is the kind of, uh, peculiarity. I'll call it that rather than constructed as something
00:19:00.420 else, a peculiarity that is a difference to national security. I think you're onto something
00:19:07.480 very big and I don't think it's a peculiarity. Here's what I think it is, is that if you drill down
00:19:12.980 on the Bidens as we have, right? Like I drilled down the Clintons. And when that was the whole reason I
00:19:17.640 was brought into the 16 campaign, cause I had knowledge of the crim, the Clintons criminality,
00:19:21.780 the, uh, the Bidens, uh, you know, Rudy calls them a crime family. And I think if you look at
00:19:28.840 the way they roll, it's a, it's a shanty Irish version of the Clintons operation. The Clintons
00:19:36.140 operation is much more professional. It's a shanty Irish. And look, being Irish, I can say that. Um,
00:19:41.940 and you make a good point. They don't like, uh, anybody associated with law and order,
00:19:48.720 secret service or anything near what they're doing. And part of this is surely the depravity
00:19:53.040 and the out of control nature of the sun. And that's what makes this thing at, uh, at, um,
00:19:58.700 at the house so disturbing that Hunter was really worked with his father to reconstruct that Corvette.
00:20:06.140 Hunter has full access. And I think we haven't gotten really clear. Natalie, when this is a great
00:20:10.320 story, it's very, these payments for this house and the scale of the payments for the house and
00:20:15.840 the timing of the cash flows, he's getting from, you know, Chinese Communist Party and other places
00:20:20.600 is very disturbing, but they don't, Biden doesn't like the secret service around or anybody in a,
00:20:27.320 in a law and order function around because the family kind of, kind of rolls pretty loose. You know,
00:20:32.660 the brothers are monetizing him for years. James, as you know, is the brains of the operation.
00:20:38.420 And I just don't think they like, I just don't think they like law enforcement there. And I don't
00:20:42.740 think they ever had, I think they're very uncomfortable with the sun's, uh, how he comports
00:20:47.220 himself. And I think that that's going to, I think be a very big issue in this investigation going
00:20:52.520 forward. Well, and, and Frank Biden, we now know, uh, another brother of the president has been
00:20:58.340 actively, uh, trading, uh, influence for dollars, uh, since, since Joe Biden became president,
00:21:05.740 it's wide out. It's right out in the open, uh, speeches, uh, in front of, uh, I'll put it this
00:21:12.900 way, uh, business opportunities at which he claimed straight out, uh, influence. And, uh, for no other
00:21:20.480 reason, he also claimed the bully pulpit for his own. He didn't even give his brother a credit for
00:21:26.860 the bully pulpit being, uh, that of Joe Biden. Frank, Frank Biden thought it was his, uh, and
00:21:32.740 apparently it was persuasive with a lot of people who turned out to be clients.
00:21:38.280 Hey, look, it's, it's low level. What the Clintons did it at a, really an organized crime
00:21:44.120 level. This is like a, uh, a, um, uh, the, the Irish mafia to the Sicilians, right? It's a
00:21:51.400 junior varsity version, but the grift is there. Remember Joe Biden is the, and this goes, whether
00:21:58.780 you look at the laptop from hell or Rudy's investigation, Dr. Burisma, everything you
00:22:03.720 guys did with Russia getting Tyson back to, uh, Ukraine, um, the Bidens are always low
00:22:09.340 level. It's low level, but it's the same thing. It's always to monetize Joe Biden. It's the,
00:22:14.500 how do you monetize the asset? And James and Frank, the two brothers, James being more of
00:22:19.180 the brains of the operation, whether this is housing projects in Iraq, section eight housing
00:22:23.920 here, you know, it's how do you monetize access to Joe Biden and Hunter Biden being the, what
00:22:30.100 I call the new business guy. He's, he's drinking what the client's drinking or snorting what
00:22:33.820 the client's snorting. He's the new business guy. And if you get into these emails and the
00:22:38.140 laptop from hell and Miranda Devine's got a great book about it, but there's, there's also
00:22:42.660 additional material all over in the laptop from hell will be a major point of, uh, of a James
00:22:49.060 Comer's, uh, you know, investigations at oversight blue in the coming, you know, weeks and months
00:22:54.940 ahead. Uh, you'll see that they're in the business of monetizing access to Joe Biden.
00:23:00.120 And, uh, I think this is going to be against the law for a couple. I think you're going to
00:23:04.460 have some farm agent registration crimes. I think you're also going to have some basic
00:23:09.040 grift kickbacks, those sorts of things. So it's, it's going to be very interesting and
00:23:13.300 telling, but, uh, the Democrats understand they get a big problem here, uh, particularly when
00:23:18.420 there's so many, uh, you know, kind of quote unquote progressive Democrats and others
00:23:21.620 they've already thrown Biden under the bus. This is going to be quite, uh, quite interesting.
00:23:25.540 Last thing I'd like to say about this is the lawyers. I call the democratic law firms
00:23:29.400 because the city is run by lawyers and particularly big democratic law firms. I refer to them as
00:23:34.880 the Illuminati of the Democrat party. And, you know, whether it's coming in Berlin with
00:23:39.940 Holder, you've got, you know, you've got all these guys and you have Bob Bauer, uh, who's
00:23:44.460 Mark Elias's mentor. Bob Bauer's now stepped in and he's one of the senior
00:23:48.400 lawyers for the president as a personal lawyer. He was Barack Obama's white house council.
00:23:52.700 He's still the interface. He's still the interface of, of, uh, at least upon in public,
00:23:57.900 at least public records. He's the interface between the national archives and the Obama
00:24:01.860 library. Uh, he's also the chief architect of the big steel. I mean, it's Bob Bauer at
00:24:07.640 Perkins Coy that did all the mail-in ballots. He, he did, he's the mastermind of all of it.
00:24:12.800 At that time, Mark Elias was really the electrician or the, if he's the architect, he's the
00:24:17.540 electrician or the engineer that Mark Elias is really the, the ex big person that executes
00:24:22.400 on it. But Bob Bauer, who's Anita Dunn's husband. I mean, you can't make this up. These people
00:24:26.560 are all interconnected. I was going to become a very good player here as his, uh, as his,
00:24:31.800 uh, Dana Remus, who's the former white house council. I think announced in July, she was
00:24:37.020 leaving. And I think she left in early October. Right. So she brackets, she brackets the
00:24:42.400 Mar-a-Lago raid. One thing I would like to leave your audience with on this, Lou, that is just in
00:24:48.180 the days and weeks ahead. Just remember, Mar-a-Lago raid did just not happen. Okay. It was, it was
00:24:56.060 not in a series of negotiations with the experience. And I know some of the lawyers personally on that
00:25:01.580 who are just top notch lawyers, Lou, it just didn't, it didn't happen. Like the justice,
00:25:07.000 like Merrick Garland came to the microphone that day. And so, uh, we will discover, I think in the
00:25:11.940 days and weeks ahead, it was quite a different story of how Jack booted FBI raided Mar-a-Lago and
00:25:18.120 got everybody in the house, uh, get everybody out of the, uh, the, um, uh, the, the mansion, uh, to do
00:25:23.760 their own, uh, to do their own thing in private. It's, it is clear to, I think everyone
00:25:30.380 following these, uh, as you call them, Jack booted FBI agents and a DOJ that more closely resembles,
00:25:40.540 uh, the KGB, uh, a combination of the KGB and Stasi. Uh, this is a rampantly corrupt government
00:25:51.340 that we call the federal government. I, I don't know that there is any agency that isn't corrupted,
00:25:58.880 but I do know that the department of justice, the FBI, uh, a huge number of agencies are corrupted.
00:26:07.440 Now I'm talking about department of Homeland security, uh, all the way through to, uh, to the
00:26:13.300 department of justice and the FBI, uh, our intelligence agencies, most probably most importantly,
00:26:19.460 they are corrupt, politically corrupt. And we have so many people in this newly elected Congress.
00:26:26.280 And if I may say this, uh, who are just now getting, I think a sense of how, because they're
00:26:32.860 focused, uh, not on their campaigns, but now what's happening in Washington, what they're
00:26:37.080 learning in their committees, that this is a government that is not only weaponized, but
00:26:42.860 is going after everyday citizens as well as political opponents. That is office holders, uh,
00:26:49.960 and, uh, Paul's on the conservative and right wing of the Republican party. This is an existential
00:26:56.860 moment. It is war on America. And it is brought to you by the Marxist stems who control the Democrat
00:27:03.600 party and this puppet president, your thoughts. Well, as we're speaking, I mean, Christopher,
00:27:11.600 you can't make this stuff up. Christopher raised in, in Davos. And today he's on a panel,
00:27:17.520 he's talking and they're interviewing him and he's talking about that the private sector
00:27:21.580 is farther ahead in certain, um, ability to, uh, garner information from citizens than the
00:27:27.920 government. And that public private partnerships are the way of the future. I mean, just up in
00:27:33.780 your face, given the Twitter files over like this, this is, it's not only existential, don't
00:27:39.500 think they're going to back off. And don't think they're going to back off just as some
00:27:42.840 investigations, which we're going to get. I'm a huge believer in, right? Lou, this is why the debt
00:27:48.720 ceiling, the omnibus and the debt ceiling are all part of this. And to really defund the FBI,
00:27:54.420 the FBI is out of control. Christopher Wray went to Davos with all the globalists and essentially
00:27:59.940 spiked the football and got in your grill about how they're not backing off at all. In fact,
00:28:04.620 they're going to have more of what they call public private partnerships with big tech
00:28:08.760 because of big tech's extraordinary, uh, possibilities of their technology and their
00:28:14.840 software, uh, to actually surveil people. And, you know, the coming out of Davos, everybody's
00:28:20.560 talking about a regenerative, what we call generative artificial intelligence. We've been warning
00:28:24.800 people about that's where this chat GPT is. It's just a rudimentary version, but these things
00:28:30.920 are enormously powerful. And when you have the tools of artificial intelligence coupled with
00:28:36.300 the ability to span massive databases, the American people are now under siege by the administrative
00:28:42.440 state. I've argued this for years. And that's why the, the debt ceiling fight is a, is a, is a,
00:28:47.960 is a fight for the ages because we have to stop their ability to use the federal reserve just to print
00:28:54.160 money that future generations have to pay for to continue to fund this apparatus. And so that's
00:28:59.780 what all these fights will come together into kind of one thing, both fighting on many fronts,
00:29:04.000 but you're absolutely correct. And Chris Ray, they're not, if you, he knew he was going to blow
00:29:09.740 people's heads up when he went and just went, uh, and, uh, and kind of smirked and, uh, and essentially
00:29:15.340 brag about the mega warrior, Steve Bannon on the arrogant and unaccountable deep state. And in
00:29:21.520 particular, the FBI and its director, Chris Ray, Steve and I pick up our conversation tomorrow on the
00:29:28.340 great America show, part two, the politics of a debt ceiling showdown, which Republicans have never
00:29:35.340 won. Not once in all of history. Why do they want one now? Well, Steve will explain that to us.
00:29:43.480 Bannon versus Dobbs right here tomorrow on that very issue and more. The Republicans suddenly also
00:29:50.220 want to raise taxes. Now that's brilliant. Don't you think the advocates call it a fair tax? In my
00:29:56.000 opinion, the only fair tax is a lower tax. Please join us here tomorrow as Steve Bannon and I continue
00:30:02.280 our battle. All right. Battle may be somewhat hyperbolic when talking about a debate between
00:30:07.960 friends and allies, but join us nonetheless here tomorrow on the great America show till then.
00:30:13.840 Thanks for being with us. God bless you and God bless America.
