Hello, everybody. I'm Lou Dobbs, and this is The Great America Show. Welcome and great to have you
00:00:08.560
with us. It's been four days since a bag of cocaine was found in the White House. Still no
00:00:14.620
telling who it belongs to, but everyone has a guess, don't you think? Perhaps the most secure
00:00:20.400
building in the world, the most advanced security systems in the world, and a pretty well-trained
00:00:25.500
force of Secret Service agents. And it's a Secret Service well-experienced in many things, including
00:00:31.800
cover-ups, unfortunately. A lot of practice there. Uniform Secret Service found the substance,
00:00:38.980
a controlled substance, as it later turned out. They called in the fire department hazmat's team,
00:00:45.300
which said they found the cocaine in the White House library, which happens to be just two floors
00:00:51.080
directly below the White House living quarters. Listen to that dispatch call now, confirming the
00:01:05.300
Gemini's results are name-matched found, with a red bar, name-matched found in the library.
00:01:12.720
It wasn't until a short time after that confirmation the Secret Service spun into action,
00:01:40.100
and disputing where the cocaine had been found. Were they trying to cover for Hunter Biden,
00:01:46.740
who had been in the White House days earlier? Secret Service now says the D.C. dispatch was
00:01:52.580
inaccurate, and that the cocaine was found in the West Wing area, where visitors and employees
00:01:58.260
leave their electronic devices. Conveniently, the Secret Service version would distance Hunter
00:02:05.020
from the area where the fire department says the cocaine was, shielding the president's son,
00:02:11.220
as they've done for so long. What do you think? President Trump posted the following on Truth Social
00:02:20.860
Where are the White House security tapes, like the ones I openly and happily gave to deranged Jack Smith,
00:02:27.400
which will quickly show where the cocaine in the White House came from?
00:02:30.920
They already know the answer, but probably don't like it. It may be a while before the mystery is
00:02:37.580
solved. Truth takes longer with the Bidens. More action in the Gulf region. The U.S. Navy stopped
00:02:44.320
the Iranian Revolutionary Guard when they tried to seize two oil tankers in separate incidents in the
00:02:51.120
Gulf. A Navy-guided missile destroyer arrived on the scene, and the Iranian Navy withdrew quickly.
00:02:57.300
The second incident just three hours later. The Iranian Navy fired on a Bahamian-flagged Chevron
00:03:05.040
crude oil carrier. The shots reportedly hit the tanker's hull, but no injuries, no significant
00:03:11.320
damage to the tanker. Just last week, Biden's Iran envoy Robert Malley was placed on leave amid a
00:03:18.500
security clearance review. The security clearance review comes as Malley allegedly is being investigated
00:03:24.940
for mishandling of classified materials. And the State Department this week issued a travel advisory
00:03:32.200
for all traveling to China. The department made this statement. Quote, U.S. citizens traveling are
00:03:39.360
residing in the PRC may be detained without access to U.S. consular services or information about their
00:03:47.680
alleged crime. The State Department warning goes on to say, foreigners in the PRC, including but not
00:03:55.540
limited to business people, former foreign government personnel, academics, relatives of PRC citizens
00:04:02.580
involved in legal disputes, and journalists have been interrogated and detained by PRC officials
00:04:09.100
for alleged violations of PRC national security laws. End of statement. Our guest today just arrived back
00:04:17.260
in America after a congressional delegation trip to the Pacific region. Joining us now is Congressman
00:04:23.520
Corey Mills. Congressman Mills sits on the House Armed Services and Foreign Affairs Committees.
00:04:29.960
And Congressman Mills, as I said, has just returned from inspecting and being briefed by the Indo-Pacific
00:04:36.220
Command. And I want to just say, first of all, Congressman, welcome back to the United States. And I don't know how
00:04:42.380
you keep up your schedule. Thanks for being with us. Give us your overall impression of the military
00:04:48.240
readiness of the U.S. and the region. Yeah, thanks, Lou. I appreciate it. Yeah, I don't think my body clock
00:04:53.620
has necessarily caught up to being back in the U.S., but always happy to be back and love being able to
00:05:00.100
celebrate our amazing Independence Day on this 4th of July. And so a little bit about the trip. So as you know,
00:05:07.440
I'm a member of the House Armed Services Committee, but also a member of the House Foreign Affairs
00:05:12.200
Committee. And of those committees, I sit on the Intelligence Special Operations Subcommittee,
00:05:18.300
the Military Personnel Subcommittee. I sit on the Oversight Accountability of Foreign Affairs. And then I
00:05:24.440
also sit as the Vice Chair of Africa Region. And this trip in particular was really to try and look and
00:05:30.540
evaluate where our strengths are, where our weaknesses are, and how we can better prepare ourselves in the
00:05:36.780
Indo-Pacific region. Now, we know that China has continued to be more emboldened in their kind of
00:05:43.560
malign activities because of their responses that they've received from Joe Biden, where he's
00:05:48.800
essentially done nothing to push back. Very, very vast contrast when you compare that to President
00:05:54.880
Trump, who held our adversaries accountable. So during this trip, we made a trip out to visit with
00:06:01.840
Admiral Acolino, the Indo-Pacific commander there in Hawaii. We went off to Guam to meet with
00:06:09.220
counterparts in Guam from the United States Marine Corps, the U.S. Navy, as well as for the United States
00:06:15.240
Army. We went off to the Philippines to evaluate what is happening there from a joint training and
00:06:21.460
facilitation, as well as to Tokyo and other parts of Kadena Air Base, visiting our United States Army,
00:06:30.780
our United States Air Force, and again, our Marine Corps and sailors. And then to Taiwan, where we met
00:06:37.580
with President Tsai, as well as for all of our military liaisons there, before returning back to Hawaii for a final
00:06:46.320
briefing with General Flynn of the United States Army, and then onwards back to the U.S. So quite a robust
00:06:53.780
trip, getting briefs on, again, what our current military strengths are, from a manning, from an
00:07:01.320
equipping perspective, noting that we had just finished in the committee the National Defense
00:07:06.160
Authorization Act that would allocate funding in order to try and ensure that we are prepared to
00:07:11.120
mitigate future threats, but also to try and ensure the quality of life improvement of our military
00:07:15.920
armed force members. During this trip, I had an amazing experience to be able to talk with a lot
00:07:20.620
of our armed services members, everything from senior officers to our non-commissioned officers
00:07:26.280
to our low enlisted, discussing things that are important to them, quality of life, how their living
00:07:32.800
conditions are, and what kind of milk on that we may need in those areas, how well prepared that they
00:07:37.600
feel that they are at how their command has been demonstrating and, you know, spreading out and
00:07:42.800
interpreting the threat, as well as for what their actual just basic needs are, you know, kind of
00:07:48.320
evaluating whether our retention is going to still be where it needs to be to be able to ensure that we
00:07:53.580
have the strongest volunteer armed services group that is possible within, you know, or in the world.
00:08:02.240
And again, my biggest reason for asking those questions, as you know, Lou, is that I have an absolute fear
00:08:07.940
of this America last social experimentation of DEI. This is the diversity, equity, and inclusion
00:08:18.160
that has been continuing to poison the minds of our armed forces, the way that the left tried to
00:08:26.320
utilize CRT in our educational systems and tried to utilize ESG in our corporations. And so this was
00:08:33.480
another thing that concerns me. And I just to get points out to the viewers, you know, we are now
00:08:38.280
facing a 25,000 plus recruitment shortage. When you combine that to the nearly 8,600 that was
00:08:46.920
unconstitutionally purged out of our military due to the COVID vaccinations, you're not talking about
00:08:51.840
nearly a three division shortage throughout our military. This is massive when we're talking about
00:08:58.440
potential threats of China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea geopolitical alignment, knowing that they
00:09:05.100
have an intent to go after the West. And whether that be kinetic or non-influenced operations, we need
00:09:11.720
to ensure that we're ready, not because we want war, but because we want to be strong enough to deter
00:09:17.240
war. You know, this is the old Reagan peace through strength mechanism, but it's also just about making sure
00:09:22.920
that America and our military stays strong and is not poisoned by Secretary Lloyd and Joe Biden's
00:09:30.040
social experimentation on attacking culture and trying to ensure that our military is focused on DEI
00:09:36.920
instead of what they really should be focused on, which is increased lethality, readiness, and being
00:09:41.400
properly equipped. I hope that we are closer to the latter than the former, but I have the distinct
00:09:49.200
impression that this administration is quite content to let Lloyd Austin destroy the military wholesale.
00:09:56.880
And with him, General Mark Milley, who is a fool with a lot of stars on his shoulder, in my opinion,
00:10:03.760
I'm not, and I won't ask you to comment on that, but I want to get my opinion out there straight up
00:10:09.440
about where I'm coming from. This military leadership is an insult to the United States,
00:10:19.920
and I just can't understand how it would be necessary as a matter of oversight that they
00:10:26.480
should be brought to heel on DEI, on the way in which they should be proceeding with recruiting and
00:10:34.000
retention because they are driving troops out intentionally. I don't understand why those troops
00:10:39.440
who went out, Congressman, who were forced out of the military because they wouldn't take a vaccine,
00:10:44.960
why hasn't that been rectified? Why aren't they back in military, those who want it?
00:10:50.800
Well, that's a great question, Lou, and just to go ahead and echo your sentiments, I can tell you that
00:10:55.440
I have that same feeling of disdain for what Secretary Austin is doing to our military to weaken us,
00:11:01.760
but I will comment on the fact that myself, as well as for Congressman Jim Banks, who is the chair
00:11:07.760
of the Subcommittee on Military Personnel, as well as for my colleague, Matt Gaetz,
00:11:11.840
we are going very heavily after those who were purged out of our United States military, not just,
00:11:18.560
and this was kind of some of the amendments that I was actually pressing during the NDAA,
00:11:22.800
which is things like preventing, you know, our service members get bonuses sometimes when they
00:11:27.600
first enlist, they call them your enlistment bonus, as they will. When they came into the military,
00:11:31.680
they weren't there to serve a political agenda. They were there to serve the nation.
00:11:35.120
And these people were unconstitutionally purged. And now to add insult to injury,
00:11:40.000
the DOD is now trying to go after those soldiers, those airmen, those sailors, the Marines, those
00:11:45.600
guardians who were purged out of the military and tell them they now have to pay back their signing
00:11:50.640
bonuses. Now, this is absolute lunacy that you're going to ask these members who served our nation,
00:11:57.120
who was willing to continue their service, but didn't want to take the jab. And now they're
00:12:01.600
being forced to try and pay back a bonus that they've likely already spent as young men and
00:12:08.480
women. And so my personal opinion and what I've talked to Chairman Banks about, as well as for my
00:12:14.400
colleagues, is that not only do I feel that this shouldn't be permitted, but we should be allowing
00:12:18.880
these military members back into the military, should they actually choose, and give them full
00:12:25.600
back pay, full benefits, and allow them to serve out the time that they would like to serve in our
00:12:30.640
military back to the armed forces, not to a political agenda, not towards DEI, not towards a
00:12:36.640
COVID vaccination that was unconstitutionally implemented, but to actually serve the armed
00:12:41.520
forces that they had intended in uniform to try and keep our nation safe.
00:12:45.120
I hear, hear. We're talking with Congressman Corey Mills. We'll continue our conversation right after
00:12:52.000
these quick messages. We seem to be in a situation, folks, where, as Congressman Mills says,
00:12:57.680
the U.S. military is trying to out-pronoun our enemies. We'll be back with Corey Mills next.
00:13:04.480
We're back with Congressman Corey Mills, and we're talking about the readiness, the lethality of our
00:13:17.680
forces. It can be nowhere near where it should be, Congressman, in my opinion, based on what you've said,
00:13:24.080
with three divisions down, and we're already operating from that very low base of readiness
00:13:30.400
with even fewer combat brigades than we've had at any time since the Cold War.
00:13:36.720
Well, that's exactly right, Lou. Look, we are the strongest fighting force in the world,
00:13:41.920
and that's because of the dedicated men and women who are still willing to wear that uniform and still
00:13:46.400
willing to carry out their duties there on the front lines. You know, the problem is that we as
00:13:51.200
America, especially within Congress, we need to be providing all the necessary reinforcement and
00:13:56.960
support to ensure that they don't have to do without or try and do more with less, but they
00:14:02.400
have more than what they actually need from a support element, from a family readiness element,
00:14:07.040
from a military element. But instead, what you're seeing is drag shows and Pride Month flags on military
00:14:14.320
installations. You're seeing on social media where the DOD has a soldier, a sailor, an airman,
00:14:20.400
a Marine saluting a pride flag as opposed to the American flag. And we have people who are focusing
00:14:26.880
on diversity and equity and inclusion training or pronoun training as opposed to what they should
00:14:33.040
be focused on, which is getting ready to either be in the fight or preparing to be ready whenever
00:14:38.080
that fight comes. And so, you know, this is where our deterrence, our best asset that we have as a
00:14:45.520
nation for peace, is to demonstrate to our adversaries and those who are trying to harm us
00:14:52.000
in the West, that we are ready to take on the fight. The more that we are ready, the more that
00:14:56.800
we have that peace through strength ideology, the more that we actually demonstrate that we are not
00:15:01.920
the individual to try and push over, the more our adversaries stay at bay and we see more of a
00:15:08.000
peace throughout the globe. And so, this is where our focus should be, this is where our attention
00:15:12.880
should be, because I can tell you, while we may be able to out-pronoun all of our enemies,
00:15:17.920
our enemies and our adversaries are not thinking about the he, him, she, her, they, them mentality.
00:15:24.480
They're thinking about how do I get my military industrial base up to be able to support a fight
00:15:28.800
that could be in longevity? How can my fighters be improved in their increased fatality? How can we
00:15:34.240
ensure readiness and deployment capabilities? That's the thing that they're focused on that we should be
00:15:39.120
prioritizing. But instead, you've got a woke military through the weakness of Secretary
00:15:44.640
Lloyd Austin, who is poisoning and indoctrinating our armed forces. You have Joe Biden, who is placing
00:15:49.520
his identity politics above the thing that should matter, which is meritocracy. And I'm glad to see
00:15:55.360
some of the affirmative action being struck down in SCOTUS, because I think that that sets the right
00:16:00.160
precedence for us to be able to move forward. But the reality is this, Lou. If we walk through the
00:16:06.160
rows and rows of headstones in Arlington Cemetery or any national cemetery across this great nation,
00:16:13.440
we don't look and identify those headstones by its race or its creed or its gender or its religion.
00:16:20.880
We identify it by the sacrifices of heroes. And if you didn't know the individual who sat beneath that
00:16:26.720
headstone and you only saw their name, you would have no clue the color of their skin or how they
00:16:32.880
identify with regards to their religious beliefs. And that's the way we're supposed to be as a nation.
00:16:37.840
We're supposed to be honoring our service members, honoring the heroes who have made sacrifices,
00:16:43.440
questioning ourselves daily whether or not we're actually doing anything that was worthy of the
00:16:48.560
sacrifices that were set before us, and ensuring in Congress, and especially in the United States
00:16:53.760
government, that we're providing the necessary allocations of funding to support our military armed
00:16:58.640
forces, but also their spouses. We need to ensure that they have a good quality of life. We need to
00:17:03.280
ensure child care on military installations for spouses or for children. We need to ensure that there's
00:17:08.400
opportunities available for them as they transition either into the military or out of the military.
00:17:13.600
These should be our priorities, not pronouns and what color of skin you are.
00:17:17.120
Well, it's obviously not, though, the priority of the command, the general officers of the US military.
00:17:26.160
It also goes a ways toward explaining how morons in that group of officers came up with the long war
00:17:36.480
doctrine. And it turned out to be more a prophecy than a doctrine, because that's exactly what we got in
00:17:45.840
Afghanistan after David Petraeus wrote that doctrine. And the idiots in the general staff subscribed to it.
00:17:53.920
We haven't won a war. We haven't won a war since 1991. And this military, I don't understand how they
00:18:03.920
think they're so clever. They're not measured on their success. They're managed, apparently,
00:18:10.880
and meet a metric of longevity. If you can survive the bureaucracy in the military,
00:18:19.120
you've done something. I have to say this military leadership that we have is not worthy of the men
00:18:26.240
and women who are service members serving as enlisted personnel. I just can't even understand why we put up
00:18:34.400
with their cute nonsense. The four stars are running around in G-650s, private jets. What are we doing
00:18:44.400
with this military and this general staff that is three times as large as it was, what, 20 years ago?
00:18:52.160
Well, I'll tell you, you know, we have a situation whereby you've got some of our general officers
00:18:58.720
who are absolutely subscribing to this woke nonsense, this cultural change, this pronoun
00:19:06.080
DEI and pride, you know, type of, you know, ideology as their priorities. And meanwhile, you also have
00:19:13.680
some amazing general officers who are in there who are truly trying to fight this, who are trying to
00:19:19.120
ensure that they can, you know, outlast the continuation of degradation of our military by
00:19:26.000
people like Secretary Lloyd Austin, who is ultimately responsible. And they're doing everything they can
00:19:31.520
to protect and shield their soldiers and their airmen and the Marines or sailors, their guardians
00:19:36.320
from all this wokeness to try and ensure that they can actually push forward and be ready. And they're
00:19:41.280
doing it with less. And that's not the answer here. We need to, as Congress, and that's why,
00:19:46.400
and again, America elected a Republican majority for a reason. And that's so that we can govern the
00:19:52.240
way that we were supposed to govern by constitutionality and by what is American values. As a person who has
00:19:58.160
served in our United States military as an army combat veteran myself, I can tell you that our
00:20:03.120
military strength, our readiness, and our ability to support and serve them is the top priority for me.
00:20:09.200
And I will always ensure that our men in uniform are always taken care of. They are protected.
00:20:13.440
They're given what they need, but also our veterans who are transitioning out are being provided the
00:20:17.920
necessary support and the counseling and the medical, you know, capabilities and treatments
00:20:24.720
that they deserve after rendering service to this great nation. So, you know, I'm not going to get out
00:20:30.240
of the fight. As you know, Lou, I can tell you, Chairman Banks is not ready to get out of the fight.
00:20:35.760
Neither are many of my colleagues at Congressman Ronnie Jackson, or even our chairman of Hask,
00:20:40.480
Mike Rogers. We are very much, and that's why that trip for us was so significant. That's why
00:20:46.080
the NDAA National Defense Authorization Act is so important. And that's why we are continuing to
00:20:51.200
evaluate ways that we can strengthen our military. And in my opinion, one of the first ways to do that
00:20:55.440
is to impeach Lloyd Austin, which I have actually provided a draft of my impeachment articles for a
00:21:00.800
willful negligence of duty or a dereliction of duty, which he, in my opinion, has subscribed to a thousand percent.
00:21:08.400
We're talking with Congressman Corey Mills. When we return in just one moment, we're going to find out
00:21:18.800
commander in chief has not responded publicly to China's intention to build a military base on Cuba.
00:21:28.400
We will return in just one moment. Please stay with us.
00:21:37.840
We're back with Congressman Corey Mills. China ramping up its military, obviously, on every
00:21:47.680
point and every level, whether it's sea, air, or ground troops. Are we ready to meet, and I'm just
00:21:57.120
going to talk about the Indo-Pacific region here, where you've just spent some considerable time and energy
00:22:02.480
assessing that region and our preparedness. Are we ready for what they're getting ready to throw at us?
00:22:11.200
Well, I would say that I think that thanks to this upcoming National Defense Authorization Act allocation,
00:22:16.640
as well as for just the amazing uniformed military that we absolutely would be victorious should this come to bear.
00:22:25.920
We are hopeful that it doesn't. We're doing everything in deterrence.
00:22:29.360
But to comment on your earlier statement, Lou, what Joe Biden is doing right now, and I refuse to call
00:22:35.200
a commander in chief as he has to act like one before I can actually feel he's deserving of the title,
00:22:40.800
but he is actually weakening us in every single way, militarily, economically, as well as for politically.
00:22:47.120
And our adversaries do not fear us. Our allies do not respect us. And meanwhile, China, Russia,
00:22:52.960
Iran, and North Korea continue to strengthen themselves throughout the world.
00:22:56.720
You're seeing this where China has advanced their Belt and Road Initiative, where they are continuing
00:23:02.320
to push to expand the Eurasian borders. They are connecting key maritime and overland supply chain
00:23:09.680
routes for precious rare minerals, as well as for other types of resources for readiness and preparedness.
00:23:15.920
You've got them expanding out all of Africa. They are now trying to dominate Oceania with our trade lines,
00:23:22.320
which would allow them to cut off Western Hemisphere supply chain so they could start attacking the
00:23:26.560
United States through a cutoff of economic resources. And now, to add it to even a war situation,
00:23:34.000
they're in our own hemisphere. You've got the marriage of convenience with Russia, where they
00:23:38.080
are now able to go into the Chavez of Venezuela, or Pedro, who is the newly elected in Colombia,
00:23:43.360
who is embracing the communist ideology. But now they're even going a step further to get closer to the United
00:23:51.280
States by building a spy and a surveillance and joint training base in Cuba, 92 miles off of my state that
00:24:00.320
I'm a delegate of in the state of Florida. And so they're not even trying to just keep this on their
00:24:06.720
side of the globe. They're actually coming into our own Western Hemisphere and right off of our own shores.
00:24:11.760
And the Biden administration has done nothing, not a single thing that I can say is tangible to prevent
00:24:18.480
this or to address it or to even put out a statement that we will not accept certain things.
00:24:23.520
They're flying spy balloons over our country. They are continuing to buy up our farmland and food security
00:24:29.600
is directly related to national security. They are utilizing economic coercion of Panama and Honduras,
00:24:36.160
where they can get complete control over the Panama Canal for its taxation and its tariffs and its actual
00:24:42.320
passages. So they are encircling the United States in a way to drown us out from an economic and resource
00:24:49.040
perspective, while attempting to try and eliminate the petrodollar through OPEC and replace that with
00:24:56.320
either the yen or the ruble or another source of currency, because they want to eliminate the US
00:25:04.240
dollars from the global currency to throw us in hyperinflation. We are treating them as if they
00:25:09.440
are just a competitor. They are not competitors. They are an adversarial nation. And we need to start
00:25:15.760
decoupling our reliancy on these nations. We need to start strengthening our military. We need to start
00:25:21.520
strengthening our energy dominance. We need to get back to controlling our own food supply and food
00:25:26.160
security by protecting our agricultural sector. And we have to strengthen our industry by investing in
00:25:32.160
America and not continuing to send American taxpayer dollars outside of our country where it needs
00:25:37.440
to be right here to support the American people.
00:25:40.320
I couldn't agree with you more. As a matter of fact, I have been warning about each of these dependencies
00:25:46.240
that have been created by the globalist elites who run our principal institutions, whether it be corporate
00:25:52.080
America or should call it not corporate America, because most of them are just globalist corporates,
00:25:58.000
whether it is education, whether it is the Marxist party. This is no longer about wait and see.
00:26:08.480
This is very simply, as you're outlining it, we either do something now, and by now I mean between now and
00:26:16.640
in 2024's election, we're facing ruin, because we haven't heard an articulated response from this
00:26:25.520
administration about the challenges, the threats posed by China, and what's more incredible, Iran itself,
00:26:36.320
while the administration is negotiating a pathway to a nuclear weapon for Iran.
00:26:42.080
This is madness on its face. And it seems that our government is the only institution that doesn't
00:26:52.160
get it. The American people see what fools we've been over the last 30 years.
00:26:55.760
The Biden administration is more pro-China than they are pro-America, Lou. And that's just the bottom
00:27:00.240
line. And we see that. They're trying to engage back into the failed JCPOA, which was known as
00:27:05.200
Resolution 2231 and the United Nations Security Council that President Trump took us out of,
00:27:11.280
that we know Iran violated on multiple occasions through two UN secretaries, which was Ban Ki-moon,
00:27:17.760
as well as for Gutierrez, and was sending mid-range ballistic missiles to others in Yemen so they could
00:27:23.680
attack our allies. I mean, and we did nothing about this. You know, it was President Trump who was the
00:27:29.280
one who eliminated Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the head of ISIS. It was President Trump who actually eliminated the
00:27:34.560
INF treaty with Russia. It was President Trump who actually stopped the trade, you know, indifference
00:27:41.760
that was going on where China was taking advantage of us by putting in the China phase one deal.
00:27:46.640
It was President Trump who eliminated Qasem Soleimani, as well as for Abu Mehdi al-Mahdadi,
00:27:51.360
who was the leaders of the Iranian proxy militias in the Middle East. And meanwhile, this administration
00:27:57.120
has done what? Left Americans behind in Afghanistan, which I know a little something about,
00:28:02.240
given the fact I'm the only member of Congress who actually rescued Americans out of Afghanistan.
00:28:06.240
And they have handed over our ability to be a strong resource in the Indo-Pacific region by trying to
00:28:12.720
go ahead and acquiesce to any response or request that China has had. And they're still trying to go on
00:28:18.080
the apology tour with everyone to act as if America is at fault here, when instead of what we should be
00:28:24.000
doing is bolstering our strength while gaining continual alliance and mutual support in these
00:28:31.280
areas like in the Indo-Pacific, building our relationships with Japan, who has stepped up,
00:28:36.160
building up our relationship with AUKUS for the Australia, UK and US relationships,
00:28:40.800
looking at our bilateral, trilateral and also our quad agreements. I mean, these are all key elements that
00:28:46.640
we need to be focusing on from a strategic element. Meanwhile, he's more prioritizing on pronouns,
00:28:52.160
Hunter Biden's cocaine habits and whether or not he's actually going to even try to remember
00:28:57.840
what flavor of ice cream he wants next week. And as we're getting near the end of the conversation
00:29:04.880
today, I want to thank you again for being with us. And it's fascinating to hear your assessments
00:29:11.440
after the trip to the Indo-Pacific command and the region. I would like to ask you this.
00:29:19.120
If we are to prevail in the 2024 election, do you think right now that the Republicans are moving
00:29:29.760
sufficiently aggressively enough to get the job done, whether it be the investigating committees,
00:29:38.400
whether it be the broad investigators across the board? Investigations are great and we definitely
00:29:45.360
need to ensure that we're following due process and order. We do live in a country which does believe
00:29:51.440
in the rule of law and people being innocent until proven guilty, though the Democrats would like to
00:29:55.760
treat President Trump and others differently. But to answer your first question, no, I don't think
00:30:00.080
we're moving aggressively enough. I think that 2024 is closer than we are actually treating it. I think
00:30:06.160
that we need to be getting our ballot harvesting and get out the vote at a rate that we've never seen.
00:30:12.960
I think that we have to take a very strong constitutional and conservative approach on
00:30:17.040
utilizing the left's kind of games against them or actually outplaying them in them.
00:30:22.480
You know, I think 2024, we're lucky if we get it to that point without this nation continually
00:30:27.120
falling into an economic failure. But we have to do something now, Luke. You know, we say at every
00:30:33.120
single election, oh, this is the most important election we'll ever face. I think that we're seeing now
00:30:38.000
with the millions upon millions who are flooding and streaming across our borders,
00:30:41.920
with the thousands upon thousands that are dying of fentanyl overdoses every single month,
00:30:46.880
every single year, with the fact that there's more child and human sex trafficking by the cartels
00:30:51.840
who are now making $13 billion a year, the fact that our economy is continuing to go down
00:30:57.440
and we're not actually doing enough because we have an inflation rate that is driving people into
00:31:02.000
poverty. You know, this administration is eliminating our middle class. They are saddling,
00:31:07.200
you know, the rest of the country with debt. And the only way that we're going to stop this
00:31:12.560
is to ensure that we win the 2024 elections, that we get President Trump back in office,
00:31:17.360
that we maintain a larger majority in the House, that we take back the Senate, that we get strong
00:31:21.920
leadership, and we're able to make the necessary bold course corrections to get America back on the
00:31:26.960
track to being America. If not, then what we may see in future generations will not be reminiscent
00:31:32.960
or reflective of the America that we all grew up in and that we all know. Congressman Corey Mills,
00:31:38.400
a great American, and thanks everybody for being with us. Our guest here tomorrow will be China
00:31:42.960
expert Gordon Chang, Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer, retired as we continue our discussions
00:31:48.480
on China's global aggression. A reminder to follow me on Twitter and Truth Social
00:31:53.520
at Lou Dobbs and on Facebook and Instagram at Lou Dobbs tonight. We hope you'll join us back here
00:32:00.400
tomorrow for the Great America Show. Till then, thanks, God bless you, and God bless America.
