00:01:14.920 Hello, everybody. I'm Lou Dobbs and welcome to The Great America Show. Great to have you with us.
00:01:23.520 Quite a week it's been, folks. Seems like history is being made every week under the Biden administration.
00:01:29.680 We have historically low approval ratings and favorability ratings for this president.
00:01:34.800 Historically high inflation. Historically high illegal immigration at the cartel-owned border.
00:01:41.200 And just this week, history made when Joe Biden and his Marxist Dems lackeys on the Colorado Supreme
00:01:47.820 Court removed President Trump from the primary ballot. Colorado is blue and they're high as they
00:01:54.740 can be, living their best Soviet Union state, don't you think? I'll say it's been nice to see a mostly
00:02:01.080 unified Republican Party for a change behind President Trump at a time when we need it the most. But as
00:02:07.340 always, there are rhinos who stand with the Marxist Dems and their malicious acts and words. Take,
00:02:13.780 for example, Congressman Chip Roy. Please take him. He was on a Trump-hating rage on CNN this week.
00:02:21.380 He found a safe place there at CNN. He told the audience that Trump is too busy hanging out in
00:02:26.940 his basement in Florida to campaign and debate poor little Ron DeSantis.
00:02:31.420 I was just at multiple events with Ron DeSantis where he's shaking their hands and looking them
00:02:35.940 in the eye while Donald Trump hangs out in his basement in Florida, afraid to actually debate.
00:02:40.660 What's he afraid of? I, you know, look, I'm happy to debate him if he wants to anywhere. I'm just
00:02:44.620 a little old congressman. Why won't he debate Ron DeSantis or any of the other candidates? I think he
00:02:48.680 should. You know, Chip Roy is quite an interesting character. Make no mistake about it. Roy knows what
00:02:54.920 he's doing. He's talking pure bull, so the Marxist Dems will put him on their TV. That's right. He's
00:03:01.100 kissing up to the Marxists by cutting down President Trump. Some big conservative, right? His constituents
00:03:08.120 must be wondering just how screwy their congressman really is. And by the way, Chip Roy, there are no
00:03:14.840 basements in Florida. Texans certainly deserve better than Chip Roy, and they have a lot of great
00:03:20.880 politicians, great Americans in that state, I must say, and among them, Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick.
00:03:27.140 He's seen enough of Biden's destruction of this country up close with the border, and maybe it's
00:03:32.660 time for Texas to remove Biden from the ballot in his state. Seeing what happened in Colorado makes
00:03:38.860 me think, except we believe in democracy in Texas, maybe we should take Joe Biden off the ballot in Texas
00:03:44.580 for allowing 8 million people to cross the border since he's been president, disrupting our state
00:03:50.580 far more than anything anyone else has done in recent history. As I said, Patrick is a great
00:03:56.980 American. We won't mention that screwball congressman. One legal scholar we regard very
00:04:02.680 highly here on The Great America Show is Alan Dershowitz. He says taking Trump off the ballot is
00:04:07.900 anti-democratic and unconstitutional. In the 60 years I've been practicing and teaching law,
00:04:13.520 I've never seen a decision that is so anti-democratic and so unconstitutional. It is absurd.
00:04:20.020 The idea that the 14th Amendment was supposed to be substituted to the impeachment provision
00:04:25.620 carefully drafted by the framers is wrong. If you want to impeach a president, if you want to make
00:04:32.700 him not be able to run in the future, there's a provision. It requires a two-thirds vote of the
00:04:37.600 Senate. But the idea that the framers of the 14th Amendment intended to circumvent that carefully
00:04:43.420 drawn provision and simply allow any state to make up grounds for denying him the right to be on the
00:04:52.300 ballot undercuts democracy. The 14th Amendment itself is very clear. It says in Section 5,
00:04:59.700 the Congress shall have the power to enforce by appropriate legislation the provisions of this
00:05:04.000 article. The Congress, that's the United States Congress. There's no provision in the 14th Amendment
00:05:09.040 for any state or certainly any state court to interfere with the right to vote by its citizens.
00:05:15.860 So this is a terrible, terrible decision. It will cause disarray. It will, if it were to be affirmed by
00:05:22.800 the Supreme Court, which I doubt it will be, it would cause distrust in the electoral process and would
00:05:28.440 result in a repeat of 2020 where whatever the result of the election was, particularly if Trump were to
00:05:34.360 lose, he wouldn't accept the loss and he would have, in this case, some legal basis for questioning
00:05:41.500 whether or not the courts had any proper role to play in taking him off the ballot.
00:05:46.460 Straightforward now and to the point, turning to foreign policy. NBC News is reporting that Chinese
00:05:52.960 dictator Xi Jinping bluntly told puppet President Biden during their recent summit in San Francisco
00:05:59.340 that Beijing will reunify Taiwan with mainland China. Xi reportedly said he doesn't have the
00:06:06.480 timing set yet on when he plans to do that. The news was reported to NBC by three current and
00:06:12.480 former U.S. officials, no one from the White House apparently talking, certainly not to the American
00:06:18.100 people. Xi did, however, tell the group at that meeting he prefers to take Taiwan peacefully,
00:06:24.160 that's good to know, rather than forcefully. That, I think, would be to Xi's advantage.
00:06:29.340 I can assure you there will be no such thing as a peaceful, peaceful assimilation of Taiwan
00:06:35.740 into mainland China, not by a long shot. Our guest today is author and geopolitical expert Gordon
00:06:42.460 Chang. Gordon, great to have you with us as always. Thanks for being with us. And I think I should say
00:06:48.240 Merry Christmas, Happy New Year. It's closing so fast it's scary, as my wife would put it. Let's talk
00:06:53.780 about, first of all, if I may, a Biden administration right now that's entirely off balance.
00:06:59.160 It seems absolutely upside down in terms of foreign policy, whether it's the Middle East,
00:07:04.500 whether it's China, it's Europe. There's just no sense to what we're watching this administration
00:07:08.960 do. Well, first of all, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year to you and your listeners. And yes,
00:07:15.240 the Biden administration foreign policy is in collapse. And we have not seen such a rapid failure
00:07:21.740 of the United States in our lifetimes. You know, you talk about the Middle East right now where you
00:07:29.060 have, for instance, all of these attacks on shipping. And the Biden response is, which is
00:07:35.060 something that we'll see in the not too distant future, is the formation of a multilateral maritime
00:07:42.160 protection force. But what they're really trying to do, as people say, is they're trying to shoot down
00:07:47.180 arrows when we really should be going after the archers. And even I think we should be going after
00:07:53.620 the parties supplying the arrows to the archers, in other words, China. So really, what we've got
00:07:59.760 right now is an administration that is trying to manage crises, failing across the board, and is
00:08:06.020 allowing bad actors to do what they want. So this is really very dangerous.
00:08:12.040 It gets, it seems worse, because China is now has a presence in South America, in the Caribbean.
00:08:21.180 It has a presence and a growing presence in the Middle East, Africa, obviously, they are making,
00:08:27.820 it seems, a very big point of positioning themselves to be at least the equal, if not superior to
00:08:36.600 the U.S. presence in all of those places. Is that the strategy?
00:08:43.040 That's China's strategy. You know, you take the Middle East. When President Trump left office,
00:08:48.980 we had stable relations with countries in the Persian Gulf, other than Iran, of course.
00:08:54.800 And that was the right posture. And President Trump had the most successful Middle East policy of any
00:09:01.200 American president since FDR. FDR is the one who stitched up the relationship with the House of
00:09:06.360 Saud. What we've seen right now is China become the dominant power in the Middle East, because
00:09:13.380 President Biden had, for instance, opened the door in Saudi Arabia to the Chinese, because Biden,
00:09:21.480 he campaigned on making the House of Saud a pariah over the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, who, by the way,
00:09:27.500 was no friend of the United States. But the point was that we sacrificed our foreign policy.
00:09:33.320 We allowed the Chinese to take over the Gulf Cooperation Council. And right now we're being
00:09:38.840 chased out of the region.
00:09:41.380 Chased out of the region.
00:09:42.860 And there is a view that perhaps that's an appropriate withdrawal for the United States,
00:09:50.760 given the the legion of failures by the United States in the Middle East.
00:09:58.020 We haven't done much right, as far as I can see and as far as is others are maintaining.
00:10:04.000 Yeah, I understand that view. Now, President Trump with the Abraham Accords accomplished something
00:10:09.960 historic. But putting that aside for the moment, I can understand why people don't want to be in
00:10:15.280 the Middle East. And the point, though, is that, yes, we can withdraw from the Middle East, but we've
00:10:21.300 got to do it in a manner that leaves the region stable. What we have done was we took a stable region
00:10:26.980 and which is now aflame because of Iran and China and, of course, Iran's proxies, the Houthi militia,
00:10:35.200 Hamas and Hezbollah. So this is not something that is advantageous for anybody, except for, of course,
00:10:42.500 for the bad actors.
00:10:44.960 Well, the bad actors and there are plenty in the Middle East. And right now we have a report from
00:10:50.060 the Pentagon, excuse me, a report from the Pentagon at the end of last week that there had been more
00:10:57.820 than 100 attacks on our soldiers, our troops in Syria and Iraq. A lot of people would have never
00:11:06.980 guessed that we still had troops in Syria or Iraq, but there it is. And in those attacks, 66 of our
00:11:15.820 troops wounded, 19 of them with serious brain trauma. And Gordon, there's no discussion of this
00:11:24.380 by Lloyd Austin. There's no discussion of this by President Biden, or even for that matter, Jake
00:11:30.100 Sullivan, the National Security Advisor. It's as if we should accept, the American people should accept
00:11:36.160 having no force security when an administration puts our military in harm's way.
00:11:43.560 Absolutely right. You know, again, we can talk about whether the U.S. should be in Iraq and Syria.
00:11:51.480 But the point is, if we're going to have forces there, we've got to protect them.
00:11:56.780 And President Biden has gone out of his way not to protect them. There's been a couple of pinpoint
00:12:02.900 retaliatory attacks by the U.S. But since that time, the number of attacks on American forces have
00:12:09.580 multiplied. And, you know, we're now at that 100 number. The point here is that we know how to
00:12:17.100 protect ourselves. We know who's attacking us, but we're not willing to take those adequate measures
00:12:22.280 to protect our forces there. It's the same story with the shipping in the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf
00:12:27.640 and the Arabian Sea. We know who's doing this. We know how to stop it. But the Biden administration
00:12:33.360 doesn't want to take those steps which involve the use of force. Once you have allowed the
00:12:39.460 situation to deteriorate, you've got to protect peace and stability. And the Biden team won't do
00:12:44.660 that. And they won't do it because they're very pro-Iran. You got pro-Iran elements in the State
00:12:48.980 Department and in the National Security Council. And they are basically supporting an enemy against
00:12:54.840 the United States itself. We have such people in our State Department, in our national security
00:13:01.860 apparatus. Why do we have them? And why isn't something being done about it?
00:13:08.440 Questions for which I have no answer. The Biden team has been, you know, and this is something you see
00:13:15.540 in the Obama administration as well, has been very pro-Iran, engaging in, I mean,
00:13:24.660 a policy that really makes no sense unless, of course, you support Tehran. But these are enemies
00:13:31.060 of the United States. And we've allowed this to continue. And the American people should be
00:13:37.380 outraged. You know, just to give you an example, Lou, on 9-11 this year, when the Biden administration
00:13:45.960 announced the exchange of prisoners and hostages and the unfreezing of $6 billion of Iranian funds,
00:13:53.360 a part of that deal which didn't get publicized was that Biden issued clemency, granted clemency to
00:14:01.540 five Iranian operatives. Only two of them decided to go back to Iran. He released three of them into
00:14:09.880 the United States. He released them into the United States when we still have Secret Service protection
00:14:15.380 for low-level Trump officials because they are the targets of Iranian assassination attempts.
00:14:20.940 And we're releasing Iranian operatives into the United States. This is unspeakable.
00:14:26.880 It is unspeakable, but there is so much unspeakable about the choices, the decisions,
00:14:32.860 and the statements of this administration, as you well know. We're going to continue with Gordon Chang.
00:14:39.300 And when we do, we're going to examine what is an inventory of threats right now around the world
00:14:46.260 against the United States. Please stay with us. We're back now. We're talking with Gordon Chang.
00:14:56.860 And Gordon, it's always great to talk with you here. And we appreciate you being with us.
00:15:02.420 Let's talk about why there is a tolerance for the Hooties who in Yemen, who are attacking with drones
00:15:11.280 and missiles and rockets shipping. They are, at the same time, trying to hijack freighters,
00:15:20.660 cargo ships in the region. Give us your analysis, if you will, as to why the U.S. government and the
00:15:30.340 Europe and other, India, for example, are not doing more to stop this.
00:15:37.260 Well, with regard to the United States, it's that very pro-Iran element in the Biden administration.
00:15:45.400 We are not, and we know because American diplomats in the region will privately say that they've been
00:15:52.360 instructed not to draw the links between the actions of Hamas and the Hooties and Hezbollah
00:15:58.860 back to Iran. It's only been in the last...
00:16:01.820 I'm sorry, Gordon. Make sure I understand that in the audience.
00:16:06.300 Who's telling whom not to link to Iran?
00:16:12.400 Yeah. U.S. ambassadors, U.S. officials have been, privately will admit that they have been instructed
00:16:22.960 to not draw the linkages to Iran. Only in the last couple weeks has the administration been willing
00:16:31.360 to say that in public that Iran has fueled these attacks. But for more than a month,
00:16:38.680 there was a studious attempt to make sure that Iran was protected. Now, I don't know why the
00:16:47.040 administration would ever do this when it was clear who was behind the attacks. I guess there
00:16:52.440 was some sort of attempt to entice Iran into better behavior. But after decades of announced hate for
00:17:00.700 the U.S., that is just so naive as to border on insanity. So really, what we've got is an
00:17:08.220 administration which, for whatever reason, and I can't fathom it, Lou, but for whatever reason is
00:17:15.260 adopting a policy that is creating even more chaos in the Middle East. And by the way, leaders in the
00:17:22.080 region themselves will say that the United States is helpless. And we have so much in the way of
00:17:29.400 military assets. We've got two carrier groups, the Eisenhower and the Ford. And clearly, we can't do
00:17:36.320 anything. Even though we've got more military power than anybody else, we're being viewed as helpless
00:17:40.840 because of the policies of the Biden administration of the commander-in-chief.
00:17:45.800 Well, you talk about that power. It's this power that we are projecting, this administration is
00:17:52.720 projecting, is unfortunately, it's not helpful if you can't, if you don't mean to use it and don't
00:18:00.720 have a plan, a strategy, a forehand. This is, right now, an administration, as I said at the outset,
00:18:11.360 that seems to be utterly adrift, upside down, whatever you want to say, in foreign policy.
00:18:19.860 Also talking about bringing in more ships into the Gulf and to put more of our Navy into the region,
00:18:27.920 taking on more responsibility at a time when we find out our military is at the lowest level
00:18:34.820 since before World War II. As a matter of fact, we had one point, people don't even realize this,
00:18:42.240 that Roosevelt ran up the military without weapons and training and everything else,
00:18:47.560 doing his best to make sure we had 1.4 million people in the military before Pearl Harbor.
00:18:53.880 But we're now at 1.3 million and facing all sorts of shortages. How big a problem? How much trouble
00:19:02.420 is the United States in? You know, when you look at the U.S. military, it is, it's a tragic situation
00:19:11.000 because, you know, it's obvious that Russia and China, their proxies, believe that they can
00:19:17.580 get away with murder, literally. And they announced that they want to annex various countries. So it's
00:19:25.280 very clear what their intentions are. They can't, we can't say that this is that they're hiding what
00:19:30.960 they want to do. And yet we have almost no sense of urgency in the Pentagon and certainly no sense of
00:19:38.540 urgency in the Biden administration. We should be, we should understand that the Chinese, you know,
00:19:45.840 the Chinese leader, Xi Jinping, he talks about war all the time and he's preparing China for war.
00:19:51.320 And we have a president who actually in August at a Democratic Party fundraiser, which was private
00:19:57.280 in Utah, actually talked about China as a ticking time bomb. And yet he will not talk to the American
00:20:04.480 people about that danger. And he is not getting us ready to defend ourselves because the dangers are
00:20:10.560 evident. We don't need any more warnings from China, what it intends to do. And yet we have
00:20:16.240 in a military, which is studiously ignoring what the Chinese are telling us.
00:20:22.540 Well, it's see something, say something, see something, do something. We are a nation right
00:20:29.980 now that is living by that's sort of a quaint old Department of Homeland Security expression
00:20:36.280 in the wake of September 11th. You know, see something, say something. But we have our military
00:20:42.840 saying something, but doing nothing. We have our, all of our government national security apparatus
00:20:49.420 saying something, but seemingly doing absolutely nothing. Our intelligence agencies seem to be doing
00:20:55.860 nothing of any remarkable benefit to the United States. I wonder why this country might not consider
00:21:05.960 and I'd like to take this up with you right after the commercial break. I'd like to talk about why
00:21:11.800 we shouldn't consider drawing our horns in just a bit. We're deeply in debt. We could be a debtor
00:21:18.840 nation in perpetuity. We have the smallest military we've had in 80 years. We have serious issues with
00:21:25.900 the economy and we have malign actors around the world, as well as within this country, enemies,
00:21:33.400 foreign and domestic. We want to find out what Gordon Chang has to say about why we shouldn't just
00:21:40.200 become perhaps less aggressive in our foreign policy, perhaps more cautious and careful as
00:21:46.280 Americans. We'll be right back with Gordon Chang. Stay with us.
00:21:50.840 We're back with Gordon Chang and Gordon. I realize this will be very unpopular with our audience and
00:22:01.520 with many Americans, but given all that we're facing right now, a commander in chief who is
00:22:08.280 impaired, who is compromised, who is deficient in almost every way. Given the demands on this economy,
00:22:18.260 we're deeply, deeply in debt. We have so many issues, including the smallest military in our
00:22:28.180 last 80 years. We have to, it seems to me, to consider being far more prudent, constrained,
00:22:37.060 rational and careful. Why could we not do that?
00:22:41.620 Well, I actually agree with you. We do need to be far more careful than we have been. And in some
00:22:49.380 places we may have to have lower ambitions. But I think that largely we can deal with many of these
00:22:56.260 issues with the change in leadership. Because what's happened is, you know, you go back to
00:23:03.380 President Trump. President Trump left the world in a stable position. We were enjoying prosperity. And
00:23:13.540 also, there was peace. We didn't see bad actors attacking their neighbors. But it was Biden's policy,
00:23:22.580 starting with the catastrophic withdrawal from Afghanistan, that created this chain of events,
00:23:28.580 which has ended up with the war in Ukraine, insurgencies across North Africa, the October
00:23:35.300 7th attack against Israel, and other hotspots around the world. So we're in trouble. And we're
00:23:42.260 going to have to figure out how to do it. But I think a lot of it is going to be just leadership,
00:23:47.380 that we need a president that the rest of the world honors and respects. And the other thing is that,
00:23:54.980 of course, we need our allies to step up substantially their defense spending. Japan
00:24:01.540 announced a 50% increase in their defense spending over five years. And they did that last December.
00:24:07.460 We need to see NATO countries do that. And we need to see countries like the Philippines and South Korea
00:24:13.860 do that as well. So there are a lot of fixes to this. And part of it is understanding what our
00:24:21.460 capabilities are now, plus also changes in leadership. And by the way, those changes in
00:24:26.820 leadership need to be in the Pentagon as well, because we've got some flag officers who are much
00:24:33.460 more interested in currying favor with the commander in chief than they are of speaking truth to the
00:24:38.900 American people, which is a derogation of their duty to us to defend the United States.
00:24:44.900 Well, with that, as we as we look at all of these threats and challenges around the around the world,
00:24:52.740 I mean, we're talking about even within this hemisphere. It seems to me that there either
00:24:58.740 will be wise leadership that will adopt a more modest foreign policy, will tie that foreign policy
00:25:05.380 directly to our national values, to our relationships with those nations, and take all of that into
00:25:13.700 consideration. At this point, with Israel, we have Lloyd Austin, the Defense Secretary, telling right
00:25:23.220 now the Israeli government what to do and how to fight their war. The last thing it is is modest and
00:25:31.460 constrained. It's aggressive, and really coming from a leader who does not have any acumen, as far
00:25:39.540 as I can tell, in diplomacy or foreign relations. And it's an open question on his military career.
00:25:48.340 Yeah, two things. I watched that press conference between Lloyd Austin and the Israeli defense
00:25:55.540 minister. And clearly, Lloyd Austin is telling the Israelis how to fight the war. And you're right. More
00:26:02.180 modestly, we should allow Israel to do what it needs to do to win the war. They know how to win that war.
00:26:09.220 We don't. And the Biden administration has had a record of consistent failure in the Middle East.
00:26:16.100 Second thing, our southern border. We are allowing potential saboteurs and operatives into our country,
00:26:23.860 along with record volumes of fentanyl. This is a conscious Biden policy to open the border.
00:26:30.900 You know, under President Trump, we were building the wall. We were controlling the flow of migrants
00:26:37.540 across that border. And we were at the point where we were almost able to stop it altogether.
00:26:43.940 And this is just an issue of leadership. And now we have potential saboteurs all across our country,
00:26:49.700 probably in the thousands. Remember, it only took 19 terrorists on 9-11 to kill 2,977 Americans on one day.
00:26:58.900 Now we got thousands of people who are not being tracked in our country.
00:27:05.140 It's, you know, it is so amazing to me that people go to work day to day, live their lives in this
00:27:12.420 country and don't realize or have perhaps reason to realize that we've had something like 10 million
00:27:20.580 10 million people. 10 million illegal immigrants enter this country since the Biden administration
00:27:27.540 was inaugurated. This is a dangerous moment. We don't know who they are. We don't have any connection
00:27:36.100 to them. Our media doesn't report on them. I don't know where one turns in this instance to deal with
00:27:44.980 what has become a flood, an invasion of people that no one would have ever imagined that administration
00:27:54.420 would do this to a country. And if it's not impeachable, I don't know what should be, but
00:27:59.940 it's outrageous. Yes. You know, in terms of what we can do as citizens, let's go back to
00:28:09.780 Reedley, California this spring where a vigilant building inspector noticed that a hose was connected
00:28:16.500 to a building that was supposed to be abandoned. And she found a secret Chinese biological weapons
00:28:24.660 facility inside with at least 20 pathogens, including Ebola, and almost 1000 mice that had
00:28:31.940 been genetically engineered to spread disease. So it's see something, say something. And it's also
00:28:38.900 see something, go to the polls and vote, because this is an issue of leadership. And you're absolutely
00:28:46.500 right. This situation is unprecedented. It is inexplicable, the Biden policies. And Lou,
00:28:54.180 while we're talking about inexplicable policies, let me just give you an example.
00:28:58.740 In 2020, President Trump issued an executive order banning the importation into the United States
00:29:05.380 of electrical equipment from China. The idea was to prevent China from infiltrating equipment in our
00:29:12.500 to our grid that they could take down in a cyber attack. So what did President Biden in his first hours
00:29:19.380 in office before he went to any inaugural ball? What did he do? He issued an executive order
00:29:26.020 that repealed Trump's ban on Chinese electrical equipment. And Biden didn't replace it with anything.
00:29:34.580 So really, what we have is a conscious decision to leave ourselves open for attack. And if you want to
00:29:42.420 talk about offenses against the United States, to me, that was item number one, day one, hour three,
00:29:51.540 I think, of the Biden administration.
00:29:54.100 Well, that and energy, of course, shutting down the Keystone pipeline, reversing all of the pro-energy
00:30:02.580 independence policies of the Trump administration. But that is rectifiable. And we'll have an opportunity
00:30:09.380 in less than a year to do just that. So God willing, and everyone goes to the poll, and
00:30:16.340 we make sure we know who's doing the counting. Gordon Chang, thanks for being with us. We appreciate
00:30:20.660 it, as always. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Thanks, my friend.
00:30:25.060 Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and safe New Year, Lou.
00:30:28.820 Gordon Chang, and thanks everybody for being with us here today. Our guest tomorrow on The Great America
00:30:33.460 Show, January 6th, Jake Lang. Jake, in solitary confinement, he joins us from the DC Gulag,
00:30:41.220 where he's been locked up for more than a thousand days without a trial, and no trial date set. Jake's
00:30:48.100 case has been taken up by the Supreme Court, and he will be with us to talk about that. We hope you will
00:30:54.420 as well. Follow me on Twitter and Truth Social at Lou Dobbs on Facebook and Instagram at Lou Dobbs tonight.
00:31:01.300 Thank you, everybody. God bless you, and may God bless America.
