Hello, everybody. I'm Lou Dobbs. Welcome to The Great America Show. Thanks for being with
00:00:07.960
us. The country is wracked, of course, by ideological and partisan conflict. We're
00:00:13.360
a nation divided. There's no question about that. Whether it's presidential politics or
00:00:18.380
communities fighting to control their own schools and local government. In Texas, impeachment
00:00:24.120
hearings against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton have begun. The AG who's been suspended
00:00:30.600
from his office pending the outcome of the impeachment trial is accused of corruption
00:00:35.940
and taking bribes. The impeachment is taking place in the Texas State Senate where Republicans have
00:00:42.820
a 19 to 12 majority over the Marxist Dems. Paxton's attorneys put forward a motion to dismiss all
00:00:50.400
charges before the trial began, and ominously, that was voted down by a vote of 22 to 8.
00:00:59.080
Paxton faces the same RINO forces as does President Trump, a battle against both the Marxist Dems and
00:01:06.180
the RINOs of the Republican Party, and it is a huge and divisive issue. Prior to his impeachment trial,
00:01:14.380
Paxton was investigated for five months by two special prosecutors who reviewed more than 300,000
00:01:22.020
documents, dozens of witnesses, and with an unlimited budget, they were unable to find any evidence of
00:01:29.920
Paxton ever taking a bribe. Absolutely nothing. In my opinion, Paxton is an unquestionable patriot.
00:01:38.780
History will show Paxton has been on the right side time and time again. When there was fraud and
00:01:44.300
the 2020 election, Paxton sued four battleground states in the Supreme Court for electoral fraud.
00:01:50.960
When big tech targeted Americans and shut down conservative voices, Attorney General Paxton went
00:01:57.780
head-to-head with Google and Facebook to protect our freedoms of speech and fair elections.
00:02:04.380
The Dems and RINOs in Texas are carrying out what has been a long series of harassments
00:02:09.500
and political persecution of Ken Paxton by establishment RINOs as well as the Marxist Dems.
00:02:16.920
They hate Paxton not because he didn't do his job, but because he did, and he fought for the people
00:02:23.440
of Texas and the rule of law. And speaking of establishment RINOs, Nikki Haley doing her best
00:02:30.840
impression of former CNN lefty newsman Don Lemon. Lemon, you may remember, stirred up a sizable
00:02:37.860
controversy when he said RINOs when he said Haley was, quote, past her prime. There was outrage
00:02:44.440
almost everywhere. So now here's Haley condemning older politicians who refused to give up their
00:02:51.040
offices and their power. The establishment RINOs candidate aiming at President Trump, of course,
00:02:58.040
a man who gave Haley her job. Here's Haley on CBS's Face the Nation.
00:03:03.600
I am completely for term limits. I'm completely for mental competency tests for anyone over the
00:03:09.780
age of 75. And I'm not saying that to be disrespectful. Here you have Mitch McConnell,
00:03:15.220
who's done great service to the country. You have Dianne Feinstein, who had a great career.
00:03:20.300
You've got Nancy Pelosi, who's been there a long time. At what point do they get it's time to leave?
00:03:26.240
They need to let a younger generation take over. We want to go and start working for our kids to make
00:03:32.080
sure we have a strong national security, to make sure we have a stronger economic policy,
00:03:37.000
to make sure that America is safe. And we can't do that if these individuals refuse to give up power.
00:03:43.200
This is not just a Republican or Democrat problem. This is a congressional problem.
00:03:47.540
And they've got to know when to leave. It is time to pass this down to a new generation
00:03:52.520
of conservative leaders that want to take our country to a better place.
00:03:56.660
According to the Wall Street Journal's latest polling, President Trump still dominates the field
00:04:02.120
of candidates and by huge margins. 59 percent in first place, followed by a 13 percent Ron DeSantis
00:04:10.280
and lastly, an 8 percent Nikki Haley. Haley doesn't understand that President Trump is leading a
00:04:17.600
movement. And neither does the braying New Hampshire GOP Governor Chris Sununu, another victim of Trump
00:04:24.140
derangement syndrome. And he has more political pickup and he has more political ambition than
00:04:31.360
talent. He declared an impeachment of Joe Biden is, quote, unhealthy for the country.
00:04:37.440
Here is the ever so wise Sununu talking with Chuck Todd.
00:04:42.160
Impeachment of any president is an unhealthy thing for the country. I mean, that would be a terrible,
00:04:46.080
terrible situation. Now, you have to figure out what happened there. I mean, there's there's no doubt
00:04:50.400
that there's a lot of unanswered questions with the Hunter Biden issue. But no, let's let's be clear.
00:04:55.120
Impeachment is a terrible thing for America. It brings everybody down. It rocks the system,
00:05:01.180
if you will. It doesn't bring it to its foundations, but it does rock it. And we need to be more positive
00:05:05.760
going forward, giving all the economic crises that not just that we have today, but as bad as it is
00:05:10.280
going to come. Believe me, this economy is getting a lot worse before it's getting better. It's going to get
00:05:14.360
very hard. Sununu just can't find Republican support or anyone who wants him on the air other
00:05:20.340
than Marxist left cable networks, and they want him on the air for a punching bag. Congress returns
00:05:27.300
to work next week from their summer recess, but many of the investigating committee members were
00:05:32.760
working throughout the recess. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer among them. The
00:05:38.300
chairman will be with us, by the way, here tomorrow, our guest on The Great America Show.
00:05:42.260
Comer's committee has issued now six subpoenas to the Department of Homeland Security
00:05:47.040
and Secret Service as his committee investigates the government cover-up for Hunter Biden.
00:05:54.460
Comer says the Department of Justice initiated the Biden family cover-up and now the Department
00:06:00.100
of Homeland Security, under the leadership of Secretary Mayorkas, is complicit. IRS whistleblowers
00:06:06.820
giving testimony regarding misconduct during the Hunter Biden criminal investigation, including
00:06:12.000
FBI headquarters tipping off the Secret Service and the Biden transition team about a planned
00:06:19.880
Hunter Biden interview. Joining us now is John Solomon, great American, great editor, and
00:06:25.800
I have to say, the hardest working journalist in the country, and the best. John, great to
00:06:31.180
have you back with us here on The Great America Show. Your story, your prime story on just the
00:06:36.260
news today on how far the Biden corruption story really reaches. And with that, you're talking about
00:06:43.360
Barack Obama. I think many people miss the fact that the incipient point of these scandals is the
00:06:50.500
Obama administration. Your thoughts on how far this goes and how soon we'll know the complete story
00:06:56.160
about the reach of it all. Yeah, well, listen, one thing is clear. Barack Obama likes to say he had a
00:07:02.540
scandal-free administration. He had nothing of the sort. We can go through all the famous scandals
00:07:08.040
we do know about, Fast and Furious, and the IRS targeting scandal, and Benghazi. But the real
00:07:13.940
scandal that's, I think, coming into portrait today, and I think Republicans are picking up on,
00:07:20.540
you're seeing Jamie Comer now saying it and others, is that Barack Obama presided over a government in
00:07:26.760
which his top diplomat, Hillary Clinton, and his vice president both had these schemes that they were
00:07:31.880
shaking foreign interests down for millions of dollars because those foreign interests had
00:07:36.660
business pending before them. Hillary Clinton did it via the Clinton Foundation. Sometimes her husband
00:07:41.600
did it, as we now know from that famous $500,000 speech fee he got from Russia. So it either went
00:07:47.680
into their pockets or their foundation. In Joe Biden's case, it went into the family business,
00:07:52.140
the brand, as Devin Archer recently said. The idea that a president had his top, probably two most
00:07:59.460
important players in his administration, both running the same scam, begs the question,
00:08:04.420
what did Barack Obama know, and when did he know it, and why didn't he stop it? And then you take a
00:08:08.780
look at some of the tactics that flowed to make these things possible. There were use of private
00:08:14.320
emails. Hillary Clinton had her server. Joe Biden had his pseudonyms. There were weaponizing government
00:08:19.220
to flip the argument around to make it look like the Republicans are the one doing this.
00:08:23.020
the Russia collusion scandal. It's very important to remind people that Barack Obama was given the
00:08:29.580
original tip-off from John Brennan, the CIA director, in July of 2016, letting him know that Hillary Clinton
00:08:37.760
was concocting a story to hang on Donald Trump's house, a Russia collusion shingle, which we, of course,
00:08:44.900
now know was never true. Barack Obama was told in advance what was going on. He sat silent.
00:08:51.600
And at the end of the administration, when it failed in electing Hillary Clinton as president,
00:08:58.900
they all sat together, Joe Biden and Barack Obama and some of the top people in the administration,
00:09:04.180
and concocted a way to keep an investigation open on Michael Flynn after the FBI had already told the
00:09:10.760
administration they found no criminality by Mike Flynn. So they sat around and talked about things
00:09:15.480
like the Logan actor. Let's do another interview. Maybe we can catch him in a live. And that was Barack
00:09:20.760
Obama directly participating in that. So Mr. Squeaky Clean, as he and his top aides like to often
00:09:26.600
have presided over a team that had this financial shakedown going on in the foreign sector and in
00:09:35.280
efforts to keep it covered up, using the weaponization of government to switch the
00:09:39.300
attention to someone like Donald Trump or Republicans. That is the story that is now sitting in clear view of
00:09:45.200
people. And it's where I think Newt Gingrich has been saying that this ought to be a Barack Obama
00:09:50.000
investigation as well. And James Comer came on my show last week, said the same thing. You know what?
00:09:55.000
We're now going to ask the question, what did Barack Obama know and when did he know it?
00:09:59.620
Well, you know, John, there were quite a few meetings, as you well know, with the top
00:10:06.280
the top administrative and and intelligence groups there in the White House. And at least three of
00:10:15.260
those meetings pertained in 2016 to Hillary Clinton and and the what became the famous dossier
00:10:23.840
story in Russia hoax. It's also interesting that on January 5th of 2017, Susan Rice does that
00:10:33.180
famous memorialization of squeaky clean Barack Obama and how he had ordered all of his chieftains
00:10:41.560
to do everything by the book. Yeah. I mean, that was the beginning, really, of the public face of the
00:10:48.300
of the cover up. Yeah. Don't you think? Listen, a lot of people look at that memo and say that's a
00:10:53.620
memo that police and prosecutors would call consciousness of guilt. All right. You already knew
00:10:57.540
you did something wrong. So paper up a memo that would say we didn't do anything wrong. So in case
00:11:01.740
someone figures out you did do something wrong, you'd have the memo to say you didn't. It clearly
00:11:06.180
was a very conscious decision. And you can see now when you go through some of the testimonies
00:11:10.980
that were taken by the House committees, some of the people participating in those discussions,
00:11:15.540
like the acting attorney general at the time and others, had a little bit of concern what they were
00:11:19.720
doing, particularly in trying to extend an FBI investigation of Michael Flynn when none was
00:11:24.300
warranted, because that would obviously handicap the Trump campaign or the Trump administration as it
00:11:29.180
was taking over from Barack Obama. So absolutely. That is one of the many. I think she wrote that a
00:11:34.940
few hours before leaving office on job July 20th, January 20th, 2017. And it referred back to a
00:11:42.580
meeting on January 5th and 6th, which is this meeting where Joe Biden's out there saying, hey,
00:11:46.820
why don't you try the Logan Act? Maybe you can get Michael Flynn on that. And other people say, well,
00:11:51.220
why don't we do an interview? Maybe catch him there. It clearly was, as many people have said,
00:11:55.920
when they looked at that document, a piece of evidence that's of consciousness of guilt. Someone
00:12:00.120
knew they did something wrong and they were trying to create an alternative reality that they could
00:12:04.180
share politically should it backfire on them. That January 5th meeting to me is is really where
00:12:11.080
I think it's just clear what what that was intended, what had been done. And do you write to this day?
00:12:19.480
I don't know what the reason was for Obama's outright hatred of General Michael Flynn. Do you?
00:12:27.960
Well, they had a falling out over policy back in 2014, and it was quite public at the time. And I
00:12:32.620
think it just left a bad taste in the president's mouth, the former president's mouth. And and I think
00:12:37.620
it plays out in this sort of crazy moment where the White House doesn't belong anywhere near an FBI
00:12:43.960
investigation of the people who defeated them at the election and are about to take over. You stay out of
00:12:48.740
that stuff. You're not supposed to be that politicize is something that should have stayed
00:12:52.300
on a career path. The career people were looking at it. The career people exhaustively investigated
00:12:57.080
Mike Flynn. The career people concluded Michael Flynn didn't commit any crime. So why is the White
00:13:02.440
House got its finger in the martini at the very end of the administration? It either is a political
00:13:07.940
payback or it's an effort to really make sure that Donald Trump starts his presidency, particularly
00:13:13.740
hampered. If he doesn't have access to the man he expected to be his national security advisor,
00:13:18.740
well, that's pretty significant. And if you look at what the Russia collusion allegations,
00:13:24.000
the bogus allegations did, it kept Donald Trump from having his attorney general preside over Russia,
00:13:29.580
right? They found some silly meeting that the attorney general Sessions attended when he was
00:13:34.660
a senator clearly had nothing to do with creating a conflict of interest. But he gets sidelined.
00:13:39.860
Mike Flynn gets sidelined. And the entire administration is dysfunctional from the beginning
00:13:45.220
by Democratic dirty tricks. That's something that you really see in the Durham investigation,
00:13:50.240
just how sophisticated that information was. And so one way or the other, they were hampering the
00:13:56.620
Trump start of the Trump presidency. And it might have also been an additional political payback
00:14:01.940
for Barack Obama against one of his rivals, Michael Flynn. Yeah. Michael Flynn elevated by Obama to
00:14:10.580
enemy of the of the Obama administration. It gave it gave standing to everything that Michael Flynn
00:14:19.380
represented instead of quashing him as they tried very hard to do and came near doing. It left it left wide
00:14:29.660
open to me, at least. The question is, why did Obama in himself weaponize government at that point
00:14:39.600
in 2016, which I think is really the the hallmark year, because things weren't going their way. And
00:14:47.520
then things certainly certainly went against them with the election of Donald Trump. Yeah. You know,
00:14:53.460
those are the questions that I think Congress owes the American people. This is bigger than just Joe Biden
00:14:58.100
and Hunter Biden shaking down foreign interests and making lots of money off them. It's much bigger
00:15:03.120
than just a singular event or singular accusation. There is a weaponization and a changing of the way
00:15:12.220
government acted to hamper your political enemies. There were certain things in the history of our
00:15:17.200
country that you just didn't let politics get involved with. The justice system in the courts was one of
00:15:21.740
them. Barack Obama and his team crossed that threshold. And once you cross it, it's hard to go back.
00:15:27.160
And I think people need to understand how are we so divided? Why do we see this? And why are
00:15:31.180
Americans so outraged that Donald Trump has four indictments against them? And they're now, you know,
00:15:36.260
people are embracing him more than ever before. It began in the Obama era. And I think that that's
00:15:40.680
important. And when Barack Obama feels comfortable presiding over meetings to discuss Mike Flynn and what
00:15:47.420
they're going to do about it and Russia collusion, it sets the doorway for Joe Biden in his White House to
00:15:53.180
feel comfortable asking the National Archives, hey, go make a criminal referral to the FBI and get
00:15:59.060
investigating Donald Trump on the classified documents. Again, another example where when
00:16:04.140
they're doing that, Joe Biden has classified documents in his own thing. Once again, they have
00:16:08.640
their own scandal, right? And they use the weaponization of government to distract the American
00:16:12.860
people to say the Republicans have the problem before they let them know they have the problem.
00:16:17.160
This model was invented by the Barack Obama administration. It is just simply carried into
00:16:24.060
the Joe Biden thing. That is clear just from the evidence. It's very clear that the Biden White
00:16:30.700
House, or excuse me, the Obama White House had no problem getting involved in criminal investigations.
00:16:37.140
And that carries on into Joe Biden sicking the National Archives on the FBI to start one of the
00:16:43.200
four criminal investigations that Donald Trump now faces. Hillary Clinton emerged from her job as
00:16:49.600
Secretary of State, a very wealthy woman. John Kerry married into wealth, so we don't have to think too
00:16:59.580
hard about his good fortune. But he also was he also met, as you know, with Devin Archer just weeks
00:17:09.060
before Shokin was fired by the then vice president, indirectly, Joe Biden. This it smells to high
00:17:20.140
heaven everywhere. And we all go and go over guys, how do how does government end up surrounding the
00:17:26.020
Biden family and being so protective and insulating them? And I think the answer is starting to be clear.
00:17:32.680
It's because it involves far more than Joe Biden and the Biden crime family. It also
00:17:38.540
extends to the Clinton crime family. It also extends to the Obama crime family, because we know that
00:17:47.120
a number of crimes were committed. We just don't know where who the perpetrators were, whether it's
00:17:51.220
Iran, how whatever you want to take a look at there. There are a lot smells to high heaven.
00:17:58.280
It does. You have made this link for a long time. And I think now the powers that be in the
00:18:03.560
investigatory realm of Congress have caught on to this. This is this is a culture of corruption
00:18:08.920
that was born in the Obama years and perfected in the Obama years. And now it's extended into the
00:18:13.820
Biden years. And it involves everything from, hey, if you don't like your conservative nonprofits,
00:18:20.100
just sick the FBI on them. Who came up with some of the ideas for weaponizing the IRS for Lois Lerner?
00:18:27.140
It was Jack Smith. He was a Justice Department prosecutor, sent a memo to her. That's a documented.
00:18:31.960
What is Jack Smith doing today? He's pursuing Donald Trump for Merrick Garland. So so much of the
00:18:37.580
baggage that we own at this very moment when people say, how did we get to this surreal moment in
00:18:42.600
American politics? The concepts, the people, the actors, the culture of corruption mindset,
00:18:48.720
it all really can be traced back to the start of the Obama administration. And I think that's what
00:18:55.280
James Comer said in my interview. It's what Newt Gingrich has said with a lot of passion the last
00:19:02.680
week. He's been really strong out there and pushing Republicans to make this about more than
00:19:06.860
just Joe Biden. And I think he makes a pretty articulate case why that makes sense. It is a
00:19:13.480
remarkable thing. Well, weaponized government, a shakedown operation of foreign interests.
00:19:18.560
All those came under the Barack Obama thing. And oh, the widespread use of private emails and
00:19:25.220
pseudonyms, whether it's Hillary Clinton's server or Joe Biden's 5,400 pseudonym fake name emails that
00:19:31.720
the archives has, but won't release all those ideas born on Barack Obama's watch.
00:19:37.360
You know, a lot of the folks listening to you and me right now are thinking,
00:19:41.960
are they talking about the U.S. government? Are they talking about America? Yeah. Are they talking
00:19:49.100
about our political system? Really? I thought this was just about a bad guy by the name of Donald
00:19:54.160
Trump, whose chief perpetration on the American people was mean tweets. I don't like him either,
00:20:05.040
says Jill. And Jack says, you know, I think we shouldn't like him because he's just too rough around
00:20:11.000
the edges. He doesn't talk in, you know, Latin derivatives and, you know, put stuff to his nose
00:20:18.180
like the establishment liberals. It is amazing to me to think what we're talking about. We're talking
00:20:25.600
about a succession of secretaries of state, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry. Oh, yes. And Tony Blinken. We
00:20:33.640
shouldn't leave him out either because he was making lots of money at the Penn Biden Center
00:20:40.820
for years. That's, oh, by the way, that's where all of those classified documents we haven't heard
00:20:46.100
any more about since a special counsel was appointed in January of this year. It's just so much
00:20:53.140
cognitive dissonance that is not unintentional. It is, it is a propaganda campaign, a disinformation
00:21:01.020
campaign. It is a cone of silence that descends over issues that are so important to this country's
00:21:09.040
future. Yeah, I couldn't say it better. It is. And I think one of the reasons that this Democratic
00:21:15.680
machinery has gotten away with it for so long is that the traditional news media, which has frequently
00:21:21.800
covered for Democrats or made excuses for Democrats and exaggerated things against Republicans,
00:21:29.060
particularly Donald Trump, that turned out not to be even remotely true, they continue to create a
00:21:33.780
protection racket around this president. So you've got a administrative state inside the government
00:21:38.900
that does it. You've got a media cabal that is protecting Joe Biden from a lot of things.
00:21:45.720
There are some cracks in that protection cabal right now. You're starting to see reporters
00:21:49.420
call out Joe Biden and ask a little bit harder questions three, four years too late, but at least it's
00:21:55.540
beginning to happen. But it is, it's a, a lot of people have said to me, it's like living in the
00:22:00.800
theater of the absurd, watching Washington cover itself and Washington deal with itself. Joe Biden
00:22:06.160
obviously is frail. He's elderly and frail and not up to the job on some days. He clearly has created
00:22:13.320
an economy that is making people hurt. And yet people keep telling us, oh, the economy is great. I had
00:22:18.020
this fun story over the weekend. If you go back and take a look at both the labor rate and the GDP,
00:22:23.400
Joe Biden's successful Bidenomics is shrinking. They keep reducing the number of jobs back after
00:22:29.620
we all, you know, we get the original jobs number. Oh, it was a good month. And oh, wait,
00:22:33.060
we are a hundred thousand off in June. Sorry. I've got to correct that. It's shrinking. And so,
00:22:38.060
and yet does the media write that? No, only, only folks like myself and some of the new media outlets
00:22:43.680
that are still dedicated to the truth. But these, this protection racket of the media and the
00:22:49.220
administrative state, it's starting to wear on the American people. Americans are tired of being
00:22:53.620
told, don't believe your eyes. Don't believe your ears. Believe what we're telling you.
00:22:57.100
And it's wearing on them. And I think the 2024 election is a place where they could express
00:23:02.400
their distaste in a very large way. If Republicans know how to ride that election rail, and it's not
00:23:08.700
clear they do yet, but if they play the game, if they take it up, take the opportunity, stop fighting
00:23:13.680
with themselves and fight with the enemy, they have a chance to do something historic in the
00:23:18.680
2024 election. It's unclear whether that will happen. Yeah, very, very much in question whether
00:23:26.540
there will be an election because the rate at which the, this administration, whether it's led by the
00:23:33.240
Obama cabal of Marxist Dems or an impaired puppet president, which is highly unlikely. The truth is
00:23:43.000
we are headed in such a, into such a fog that it's, it's hard to ascertain. There's no clarity at all
00:23:51.620
about the next six months, let alone the next year and a half. Sure. So the American people are keenly
00:23:58.720
aware now that we have a corrupt government, that the Dems have taken over that government and the
00:24:04.120
deep state, that the consent of the governed is, it is frankly, it's, it's now a hackneyed shibboleth
00:24:11.560
and a sort of a quaint relic of American civics, don't you think? Yeah. And there's another element
00:24:19.540
of this that I think is starting to become more and more apparent to the American people. And it's,
00:24:25.640
it's sometimes apparent for things like the Biden administration lost a quarter trillion dollars
00:24:30.580
of COVID aid to most of it to foreign powers like Russia, just easily defrauded this. But there's a moment
00:24:37.260
on television this weekend where you see Anthony Fauci, the face of the pandemic response,
00:24:42.380
just falling over himself, unable to describe why he's telling people to be ready to mask up again,
00:24:47.740
when the science, the masking science proved that masks don't really help. And then what they see is,
00:24:54.480
oh, we're just going to ignore that. You just have to trust me. You got to mask up, even though the
00:24:57.800
studies say it doesn't benefit you. I think people realize that government is not only corrupt in some
00:25:03.580
cases, not only politicized in most cases, it's downright incompetent. It literally sometimes
00:25:10.100
will tell people something and think that the American people are going to fall for it. And we
00:25:13.320
listen to it like, wait a second, you just told me a study found no benefit from masks, but you're
00:25:18.180
recommending masking anyways? Why? I think incompetence, politicization, and corruption, that's
00:25:25.440
a triple-headed monster that the American people are confronted with, with Joe Biden in charge and
00:25:30.600
the permanent bureaucracy in America running roughshod over the American people. They're
00:25:37.640
smart enough. They deduct it. They're awful busy. They're trying to put bread on the table and make
00:25:41.860
ends meet and afford the gas in the grocery cart. But they're also quick to realize, you know,
00:25:47.260
Anthony Fauci is like the perfect example of what's wrong with government. He says something when it's
00:25:51.920
not true. He says it again anyways, and he just thinks the American people are going to buy it. I think
00:25:56.440
Americans have stopped buying that line. I agree with you. And just when the American people
00:26:03.780
have figured out that Donald Trump was right all along, he was being wiretapped, he was a victim
00:26:12.720
of hoaxes, he was being framed, that the impeachments were asinine, and attempts to cover up Marxist
00:26:21.820
dim perfidy and crime. It is, it is, now they have to come to terms with the fact that, you know what,
00:26:30.760
I made a big moral decision about vaccinations for my family, and now I have to examine whether or not
00:26:39.100
those vaccinations really did work or were necessary. And then they get the information
00:26:45.280
from the NIH and from other public health agencies that, you know, the newest, the newest variants,
00:26:52.260
which were being hyped by the CDC, actually, actually, if you're vaccinated, it's going to be
00:26:58.520
more transmissible to you. And if you're not vaccinated, it's not going to matter much one way
00:27:05.340
or the other. You're better off with natural immunization than you are with any vaccine.
00:27:10.200
And the people most at risk are those who've been vaccinated suddenly.
00:27:14.520
Think about the moment we had last night, about nine o'clock last night, when the Biden White House
00:27:18.420
announced that First Lady Joe Biden had COVID. And of course, we wish her well, we want her to get
00:27:22.280
well. We don't want anyone suffering from COVID. But she's vaccinated and twice boosted. Wait a second,
00:27:28.480
I thought we took these boosters to avoid this very thing. She got it. And I think most Americans can
00:27:33.740
process that now and say, listen, this has been such a sham. If you take two doses,
00:27:40.080
two doses of vaccine and two boosters, and you're still getting it, there's something wrong with
00:27:44.920
the vaccine, or certainly something wrong with the promise you gave me when you told me to take
00:27:49.460
the vaccine. And I think these moments, these intuitive moments where the American people
00:27:54.400
know what's going on. They know every time Mayorkas gets up on the stand, it says,
00:28:00.600
the border's secure. And they know it's not true. They saw someone in their neighborhood die last
00:28:05.160
week, some young child from fentanyl. They see the manhunt in Pennsylvania for an illegal alien
00:28:11.180
who escaped from prison, who, you know, is a murderer. They know the open border has left America
00:28:16.280
insecure. And it doesn't matter how many more times Joe Biden and Mayorkas say it, they're not going to
00:28:20.920
believe it. They're not going to believe that they need to wear masks, because they were told,
00:28:25.280
the science found it. They now believe that, hey, these vaccines aren't like the vaccines we used to
00:28:30.060
take for the flu, or for a chicken pox, or other things that don't work. And you're not going to
00:28:34.580
force me to do something that doesn't work. They're intuitively realizing that big government
00:28:39.940
fails in a big way. And I think that this election, if Republicans make it so, will be an election about
00:28:47.760
the failure of big government. Joe Biden came in and said, I'm going to make big government bigger,
00:28:51.500
and it's going to be better for you. And two and a half, nearly three years into the experience,
00:28:56.200
America are worse. Americans are worse off. They feel it in every measure.
00:28:59.380
Definitely. Yeah. And I want to go back to the infamous Dr. Fauci, because he is an exemplar,
00:29:09.880
I think, beyond just bad government, because this man actually had the temerity to say,
00:29:19.280
talking about the broadest study of masks, including in 95 masks, which were supposed to be the most
00:29:26.100
affected. And the study showed, without any equivocation, any ambiguity, that masks do not
00:29:35.680
work. Period. End of story. And by the way, they're bad for you, too.
00:29:39.900
And there's 17 years of research. It isn't like they just didn't want to study. There's 17 years
00:29:45.740
And Dr. Fauci, Mr. Science, had the audacity to say in response, well, this study was about a large
00:30:01.760
The man is a sophist. He is capable of more specious nonsense and just utter crap than I have ever heard
00:30:10.860
from a public health official. And I heard a lot of them over the last three years.
00:30:15.860
He takes the cake. This man is absolutely a fraud. And he was working for himself, just like everyone
00:30:23.420
else in the Biden Obama structure. It's disgusting. He made millionaires out of out of doctors because
00:30:33.520
he had control over those NIH grants. He didn't want to let people know that the the China virus
00:30:40.200
COVID-19 was actually the Wuhan virus. It had been engineered and they did exactly what they meant to
00:30:46.000
the communist Chinese. There were no accidents here.
00:30:49.720
Yeah. And also, listen, there's a reminder of Republican failures on this. So in 2004 and 5,
00:30:56.820
as Bobby Kennedy Jr.'s new book recently revealed, I did a lot of work on Anthony Fauci and I found
00:31:02.220
all sorts of major ethical lapses, including the fact that NIH scientists were collecting royalties
00:31:08.060
from the very drug companies that they're supposed to be regulating and studying, that they had used
00:31:12.500
foster children to test AIDS drugs, even though the foster children didn't have AIDS. They used foster
00:31:17.400
children because no parent would sign off on their child. So they used vulnerable children for that.
00:31:22.640
There were just enormous things. There's a woman who died from an AIDS drug experiment and there's a
00:31:26.580
calloused disregard for her care and the failure of NIH. And George W. Bush had an opportunity to
00:31:34.440
make a change at NIH. At that point, Anthony Fauci had been there about 15, 16, 17 years. It was an
00:31:40.540
opportunity. George Bush didn't replace him. And as a result, the pandemic, 15 years hence, left us in charge
00:31:48.700
with a guy whose track record warned us that he was not going to be up for the job. That's what, you know,
00:31:54.440
that's what the whistleblowers in 04 and 5 told us. Anthony Fauci shouldn't be leading NIAD. There were real
00:32:00.700
investigations that confirmed it. Some of the people got fired, got restored. And George Bush had an
00:32:05.560
opportunity to replace him and didn't. George Bush had an opportunity not to create the monstrosity
00:32:10.040
that is the Homeland Security Department today. He didn't. And so Republicans, when they look at how
00:32:15.340
did we get to this thing and is it all Democrats' fault? Not really. Republicans built this giant
00:32:20.080
government monstrosity. They often fail to hold it accountable for the many failures to the American
00:32:25.000
people. So both parties own the mess that we are in in the summer of 2023.
00:32:30.160
No question about it. But the Republican Party that does control the House of Representatives right
00:32:36.180
now, John, Kevin McCarthy seems never to disappoint and seldom surprises. He says no impeachment inquiry
00:32:47.180
without a vote. This is outrageous what he is saying. And I've had a belly full of this. I'm not
00:32:55.200
going to equivocate about what he is. He is a rhino. He is an establishment tool. And if the
00:33:04.500
Republican conference can't overcome him, this republic will be lost. And I really mean that.
00:33:11.120
I don't see another way forward. Yeah, listen, the Republicans don't have the votes for that.
00:33:15.900
And I think that that's one of the problems that he, you know, it was the standard before Nancy Pelosi
00:33:20.480
changing. So it used to require a full vote of the House in order to start an impeachment inquiry.
00:33:27.260
Nancy Pelosi blew past it, just like Chuck Schumer got rid of the nuclear option. And Republicans want
00:33:33.880
to take it back. Now, we could say that's a great principle concept. But on the battleground of
00:33:40.500
warfare, you know, it's a losing proposition for them. They probably don't have that. They don't have
00:33:46.040
the votes right now. I've been counting heads. They don't have the votes yet for such a thing. Now,
00:33:49.580
there are things he can do in the interim. He could create. You mean they don't have the votes
00:33:53.340
for the impeachment, for an impeachment inquiry? Yes. He don't even have a vote for impeachment.
00:33:58.100
Well, they don't need him. They don't need votes for an impeachment inquiry. Right. They should.
00:34:02.300
He they shouldn't. But they do. But because that's the standard. Well, they do. If McCarthy says they do.
00:34:08.260
That's right. He's created a standard. By the way, it used to be the standard. It used to be the open
00:34:12.760
impeachment inquiry. You did need a House vote. But Nancy Pelosi took that away. So why would Republicans
00:34:17.600
give the advantage back to Democrats by going back to the way it is? That's a good question for
00:34:22.000
McCarthy to answer. And he hasn't answered it in an articulate way yet.
00:34:26.120
He hasn't answered it in any fashion. I mean, the man is, first of all, he's a Luddite.
00:34:30.580
I mean, to think that he is sitting here in this moment in history and he wants to give away his
00:34:39.160
only power to be a countervailing force against this corruption, this evil that is our federal
00:34:48.500
government. He has a responsibility to do that. And by the way, not having votes is not a reason for
00:34:54.480
stasis. It's not a reason to be paralyzed. That's what politics is. Find the evidence. Reach out
00:35:01.820
reasonably to those who have open minds and will look to the evidence and facts and understand there.
00:35:08.460
We have to change. We have to take charge of our future or Joe Biden and the Marxist will.
00:35:15.300
Yeah. Listen, this is a moment of extraordinary, important American history. The decisions that will
00:35:20.580
be made in the next several months will dictate maybe 10 to 25 years of American history because
00:35:26.180
we are facing such epic things. You see the stories of the Chinese trying to crash into our military
00:35:32.660
bases and get in while those Chinese came across the border in those large droves because the borders
00:35:38.140
open. We're seeing now the consequences of the Biden, really policies affecting national security.
00:35:45.180
Joe Biden clearly was involved with his son in an effort to raise foreign money for his
00:35:50.300
family. And he did it knowing that his son was trading on his name with interests that had
00:35:54.960
business before Joe Biden. If we accept that, that's going to become the norm. Just like failing
00:36:01.420
to punish people who weaponized the Russia collusion investigation has made multiple weaponized
00:36:06.280
investigations possible today. At some point, the Republicans have to do something to put a stop
00:36:12.320
in it or the American people are like, hey, we gave you a shot. You whiffed. Why put you back in?
00:36:17.060
You couldn't deliver what you said you were going to deliver. Now, there are some really important
00:36:20.760
things going on behind the scenes that aren't visible. James Comer, Jim Jordan, I think have
00:36:25.760
a beat on where the alleged $10 million may have come from if the FBI informant was telling the truth.
00:36:31.200
They're doing some really important work there. It's below the radar, but I'm seeing it as a
00:36:35.880
reporter and I think I'll be able to write about it soon. They are getting more whistleblowers. We're going
00:36:39.800
to write about one later this week. I'm excited about that. Taking the very first whistleblower to blow the
00:36:45.180
whistle on Hunter Biden's team goes all the way back to November 2016, way before we knew that is
00:36:51.580
something that Kevin McCarthy's team and James Comer and Jim Jordan have been digging up. I think if
00:36:56.880
there's going to be a moment where the Republican caucus says we do have the votes, it will come in
00:37:02.100
the realization that there was some money that changed hands that Joe Biden has denied. That, again,
00:37:08.020
you don't need the vote, but now that he set the standard for the vote, getting there is going to
00:37:11.640
require another piece of evidence. They are fast at work at trying to locate that evidence. It would
00:37:16.420
be extraordinary if a $10 million payment was really made to an entity around the vice president,
00:37:23.240
just like the FBI informant told the FBI in 2020 and, oh, by the way, back in 2017 as well.
00:37:29.900
So there's a lot of history that will pay out, I think, in the next few weeks.
00:37:34.280
This new whistleblower, we'll be able to write about that. There's going to be some bombshell
00:37:37.920
revelations about January 6th. One of the things that I watched, it was very interesting.
00:37:44.140
Normally, this town empties out in August. Nobody cares what the work was. They just leave and go
00:37:49.080
vacation and take their trips and their co-dales. There was a large presence of Republican
00:37:54.300
investigators digging up stuff on January 6th, digging up stuff on Joe Biden, digging up stuff
00:37:59.460
on the border, digging up stuff on all this money that's been stolen by Russia, China.
00:38:04.160
And it's the first time in a very long time in Washington, I saw a large part of official
00:38:09.340
Washington actually work through the August recess. And I think in the next few weeks,
00:38:13.820
there's going to be actually in the next few days, even there's going to be some things that shake
00:38:17.820
the ground. They're going to challenge our assumptions about January 6th, challenge our
00:38:21.580
assumptions about Joe Biden and wind back the grift to an earlier period when it was clear to the
00:38:27.000
government, Joe Biden, Hunter Biden were already involved in something that was unsavory.
00:38:30.840
That'll be a good thing for the American public. What Republicans do to just express
00:38:36.220
outrage won't be enough. Expressing outrage isn't good enough. They got to solve these issues
00:38:40.600
and the window for solving them is shrinking very quickly.
00:38:44.440
As September is already at warp speed and we're early days, I truly believe that if they can't get
00:38:55.680
to an impeachment inquiry in the next few weeks, that all hope is lost that they will do anything,
00:39:01.720
because if they will put up with the leadership of Kevin McCarthy, his indolence, his frankly,
00:39:07.580
his deceit, his maneuvering and his obvious fealty to the establishment, the unit party, you call it,
00:39:16.340
you know, whatever you wish. It's anything but in the interest of America, what this man is saying
00:39:23.120
and what to this point he's done. You get the last word here.
00:39:27.480
Listen, status quo is just not an option for the American people. They feel their country slipping
00:39:31.480
away. That's why three quarters of Americans think the country's in the wrong direction,
00:39:36.320
that Joe Biden's too old to be president, that there's something corrupt that was going on between
00:39:40.560
him and his son. The status quo is not an acceptable thing and waiting out to the November 2024 election
00:39:48.040
will not be acceptable to the American people. So Kevin McCarthy and the people around him,
00:39:52.780
it's not just Kevin McCarthy. The entire Republican Party has an obligation to step up the plate.
00:39:57.760
The Senate looks about as directionless as I've ever seen it in my time as a reporter, 35 years here in town.
00:40:04.300
Mitch McConnell does not have a grip on his Republican Senate caucus.
00:40:08.400
Somebody has to step into the void and exercise some leadership that changes the status quo.
00:40:13.900
Or American voters will cast a vote to punish the Republicans,
00:40:19.000
which probably means putting Democrats in charge of all three branches of government.
00:40:23.020
Again, that would be a disaster for the future of this country based on what we know Americans are suffering from right now.
00:40:29.040
Well said, as always, John, we appreciate your time.
00:40:32.400
I put it this way right now. It's a clear delineation.
00:40:36.460
There are those in both parties who are either the problem or they're now going to be part of the solution
00:40:41.920
to take everyone back to the 1960s, one of my favorite expressions.
00:40:46.420
So great to have you with us. And thanks for all you, John.
00:40:53.700
Our guest tomorrow will be House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer,
00:40:57.740
who will join us to talk about the subpoenas he's issued for the head of the Department of Homeland Security
00:41:03.080
and the Secret Service over their alleged misconduct in the DOJ's Hunter Biden cover-up as well as investigation.
00:41:12.020
Please join us tomorrow and each and every weekday.
