Summary

In the modern era of partisan politics, there are lulls, and amazing, sometimes lofty and highly elevating occurrences, and even lows that roll in on occasion. And the experiential norm seems to be the unexpected, and always percolating just beneath the surface, just over the horizon, down the road, and up the creek, over yonder, into the rabbit hole. There s always an event, an incident, a special moment when the curtain comes off, and the dawn breaks. And there, lo and behold, and don t hold back, is an awakening, a consciousness that arrives like a bolt of lightning and a crack of thunder.

00:00:00.000 Hello, everybody. Great to have you with us on the Great America Show.
00:00:04.660 We're all about the American way, and here we go.
00:00:08.180 We're in it now. The political season is year-round,
00:00:11.760 and now it stays hot in the modern era of partisan politics.
00:00:16.480 There are lulls from time to time, and amazing, sometimes lofty
00:00:20.920 and highly elevating occurrences, and even lows that roll in on occasion.
00:00:26.120 And the experiential norm seems to be the unexpected,
00:00:31.240 and always percolating just beneath the surface, just over the horizon,
00:00:36.440 down the road and up the creek, over yonder, down the rabbit hole.
00:00:41.800 There's always an event, an incident, an element, that special moment.
00:00:47.880 When the mass comes off, the curtain rises, and the dawn breaks.
00:00:51.460 And there, lo and behold, and don't hold back, is an awakening,
00:00:56.820 a consciousness that arrives like a bolt of lightning and a crack of thunder,
00:01:01.760 sharp, bright, instant, and joyous.
00:01:04.980 And that time has arrived, my fellow Americans, the time for truth.
00:01:10.620 Truth all across our great country.
00:01:13.240 So here's the truth, just to start the party.
00:01:16.360 The 2020 election was stolen.
00:01:18.540 Let's say that again, together now.
00:01:21.740 The 2020 election was stolen.
00:01:24.880 Doesn't that feel better?
00:01:26.460 One more time.
00:01:28.100 The 2020 election was stolen.
00:01:31.260 Marxist leftist Dems and the deep state, so-called,
00:01:35.100 aligned themselves with the titans of big tech and social media.
00:01:39.800 You know, Google, Twitter, Facebook.
00:01:42.260 You know, American oligarchs like Eric Smith, Larry Page, Jack Dorsey, and Mark Zuckerberg,
00:01:49.220 and the rest in Silicon Valley, who don't have enough billions to warrant naming them at times like this.
00:01:56.220 Apologies to all you in the Valley who don't really count.
00:02:00.620 Yes, I'm talking to you.
00:02:02.760 But there's more.
00:02:03.680 The orchestrated theft of the 2020 election required the genuflection of all those corporate news media outlets and their minions,
00:02:13.780 including the Washington Post and New York Times, Discovery's CNN and Comcast's MSNBC.
00:02:21.040 Of course, Vanity Fair and The Atlantic, Disney's ABC News, and the rest.
00:02:25.420 All comfortable with the lies about Russian disinformation that most of them peddled for five years,
00:02:32.900 from the moment that Donald Trump announced he was running for president in 2015.
00:02:38.800 And guess who authored the original sin against Donald Trump and the rest of us against America?
00:02:44.980 None other than his political opponent in the 2016 race for president, one Hillary Rodham Clinton.
00:02:51.460 Who were her sponsors, fellow Kabbalists and conspirators, President Obama's intelligence chiefs, that's who,
00:02:59.560 top officials of the Justice Department, State Department, the Secret Service.
00:03:04.700 The Marxist leftist Dems inhabit all of government, but those agencies and departments,
00:03:10.380 they make up the top tier of leadership in the effort to overthrow the president.
00:03:16.520 Many of them are under investigation now for originating the plot to overthrow, to destroy Donald Trump's presidency.
00:03:24.980 And in the fall of 2020, that conspiracy grew desperate, afraid the incriminating content of Hunter Biden's laptop just might be made public.
00:03:36.360 They prepared the battleground for the public information war ahead.
00:03:40.800 President Obama's FBI director, Christopher Wray, went to Capitol Hill in September and launched the Russian disinformation lie
00:03:50.620 to give corporate media, big tech, cover to stop the reporting on the laptop.
00:03:58.620 The steal was on.
00:04:00.800 Joining us now is the New York Post's Miranda Devine.
00:04:04.100 She's the best political columnist, in my opinion, working today and author of the bestseller, Laptop from Hell.
00:04:11.960 And she has covered this story from the outset.
00:04:15.460 The role of the Hunter Biden and his laptop is playing out in nearly every scandal now.
00:04:24.240 It's good to have you with us, especially in these interesting times of ours.
00:04:29.980 Thanks, Lou.
00:04:30.840 So, yes, interesting times, the ancient Chinese curse.
00:04:35.120 We certainly do live in interesting times, but they're pretty perilous, too.
00:04:39.380 They're perilous.
00:04:40.280 And John Paul McIsaac said, point blank, that if the contents of the Hunter Biden laptop had been released to the public when they should have been,
00:04:55.140 that is, with the first effort to give it over to the FBI, that he believes that Trump would have been cleared automatically in his first impeachment.
00:05:06.320 Your reaction?
00:05:07.300 Well, look, I think he could be right.
00:05:10.840 But it seems that the FBI just sat on a lot of exculpatory information that was on the laptop about Burisma and Ukraine and all these sort of machinations behind the scenes that led to Joe Biden demanding that Victor Shokin, the prosecutor, be fired,
00:05:30.500 just as he was investigating and seizing and putting out a warrant for the arrest of the owner of Burisma, seizing his property, who was Hunter Biden's paymaster.
00:05:43.900 He was paying him a million dollars a year to sit on the board of Burisma and kind of try and resuscitate his reputation as a corrupt oligarch who'd been the energy minister of the previous Russia-aligned government.
00:05:59.640 Now, as we go through all of this, as we, as you, you've lived this laptop since certainly October of 2020.
00:06:10.620 It is clear, straightforward evidence of corruption, perfidy of all kinds, and criminal activities, and all of it extends to national security.
00:06:29.740 As one example, McIsaac said that clearly within the contents of that laptop were indications and evidence that Hunter Biden was trying to move into Ukraine with, quote, unquote, bio-research or bio-labs, end quote, activities, and trying to get those established.
00:06:56.620 You know, this is really troubling stuff.
00:07:00.340 It's all, it would, by any account, it would have all been in the clear, there for any secret service or intelligence agency to pick up.
00:07:13.940 This is just really stunning stuff, and the FBI was clearly under orders not to touch it.
00:07:20.700 The corruption established in this country, again, outweighs everything that we thought was going on, whether it was in Ukraine or whether it was in China.
00:07:31.580 This country's government was the most corrupt of all.
00:07:35.300 Yes, it certainly rivaled it, and, you know, Joe Biden had been running this influence-peddling scheme since his earliest days in Delaware, and he just internationalised it when he became vice president, and basically compromised himself in the eyes of our most potent adversaries, being China and Russia and, of course, Ukraine as well.
00:07:58.760 And he still, the White House is sort of trying to ring-fence him from the problems that Hunter Biden is facing in that grand jury in Delaware.
00:08:12.960 I mean, it's pretty clear that that grand jury is getting very close to figuring out what went on with the Biden family's overseas very lucrative influence-peddling scheme and all those millions of dollars that came into their bank accounts from China and Russia, Ukraine, Romania, and so on.
00:08:34.540 And we know that they are starting to track that money to Joe Biden himself because we know witnesses before the grand jury have been asked who is the big guy, and the big guy, of course, is Joe Biden, as Tony Bobulinski told us, who was one of Hunter's business partners, and there are also lots of references in the laptop to the big guy being Joe Biden.
00:09:01.580 And, you know, if they're asking those questions and if they've subpoenaed, as we know they have, Hunter and Jim Biden, that's Joe Biden's younger brother, Hunter's uncle, the investigators in Delaware have subpoenaed their bank records and those of their other business partners.
00:09:20.580 Now, if they've done that, they will get to the bottom of what we had a glimpse of on the laptop, which was that Joe Biden and Hunter Biden had mingled their finances.
00:09:33.160 They had shared bank accounts, they had shared bank accounts, shared debit cards, Hunter was paying for his father's bills, some of those bills we can see, like a monthly AT&T bill for a couple of hundred dollars, and, you know, renovations and upkeep on one of Joe Biden's Delaware mansions.
00:09:54.800 And so that's the tip of the iceberg, it seems that from what Hunter Biden has said, that, you know, he said in one email or one text message to a family member that, you know, he was paying half his salary to his father.
00:10:10.880 In another, in another, he complains bitterly that he's not getting enough respect from the family because he's gone and supported them for the past 30 years.
00:10:21.740 And we know that, you know, Hunter was tipped into these jobs that inflated salaries from the very beginning with his father's sponsors in Delaware and his father's, you know, donors.
00:10:34.080 So this was a pretty crude family-based influence peddling scheme, but it, boy, was it lucrative.
00:10:44.460 It is lucrative.
00:10:46.360 And the media is coming to terms with something.
00:10:49.280 The first numbers I saw that Hunter was involved in was something like $800,000 a year in Burisma.
00:11:00.040 Then the media got a hold of a little more information that was raised then into the millions and then $4 million was an estimate.
00:11:08.680 And then with Peter Schweitzer's reporting, $5 million.
00:11:12.140 And then with Peter Schweitzer's book on the Bidens, it went to $30 million.
00:11:20.560 Hunter's just borrowed a million dollars to pay back his tax, a tax bill to try and avoid criminal charges for tax evasion with this grand jury.
00:11:32.840 And he's borrowed that from a kind benefactor.
00:11:36.320 He doesn't have access to money.
00:11:38.240 We know that he does still, well, his lawyer says he's sold that 10% stake in the Chinese private equity firm BHR.
00:11:46.740 And so I guess we take his word for it, but I don't see any evidence of his having sold it on the Chinese register or the, you know, his company, Eskenadaly, is still listed as 10% owner.
00:12:01.880 But maybe they're just very slow at updating their websites.
00:12:06.000 That could be the case.
00:12:06.940 But even so, BHR is, you know, potentially could be worth tens of millions of dollars his stake.
00:12:17.060 But I think possibly not.
00:12:19.120 And I'm told it wasn't a very good investment.
00:12:22.100 The most valuable investment they made was in this Face Plus Plus, which is a facial recognition software system that the Chinese use to surveil the Uyghurs.
00:12:34.700 So that could be worth a lot.
00:12:36.900 But a lot of the other things they invested in were duds or they sold out of, you know, like the Chinese version of Uber too soon.
00:12:44.880 And so I'm not sure.
00:12:45.900 You know, he might make a couple of million out of that.
00:12:48.800 And the rest of it, I mean, he got, you know, a million dollars a year from Burisma, say $4 million.
00:12:57.580 We've seen there was $6 million, another $5 million, another.
00:13:00.960 But he had to share that with his family members, with Jim Biden and, you know, Joe Biden.
00:13:08.240 And he was paying $27,000 a month in alimony.
00:13:11.920 And he had this raging crack habit and a very expensive lifestyle.
00:13:16.640 I mean, he would fly, you know, fly or his business class, he'd be jetting backwards and forwards.
00:13:21.320 He would go on these long, month-long crack benders, you know, where he'd have prostitutes and drug addicts and drug dealers traipsing through his hotel room, stealing everything inside, including his laptops and his phones and his wallet.
00:13:41.160 So he wasted money like you wouldn't believe.
00:13:45.140 And so I wouldn't be surprised if he, you know, he had, say, $15 million that we can actually trace that he just wasted and spent.
00:13:55.800 I wouldn't be surprised if he really is broke.
00:13:58.700 I mean, there is some talk of an overseas bank account that the Biden family may have access to.
00:14:06.220 So that would be the sort of thing that you would expect the investigators to be able to follow.
00:14:13.860 And, you know, it looks as if that Delaware investigation is coming to a point where it will be able to bring down indictments against Hunter Biden.
00:14:27.340 And MacIsaac also said, and I am just amused, by the way, at which the media gets a little more comfortable with the number.
00:14:33.780 And the next number is even higher than another number.
00:14:38.220 And the way in which they still ignore the story is I have to laugh at it because once you, you know, cross over into the absurd, there's nothing to do but laugh.
00:14:50.500 In this country, our corporate media is part of the cabal, the cadre of the establishment.
00:14:59.940 And there is no way in the world that most of us will ever get a straight story from this corporate media until there is a significant washing through of the talent that is leading the editorial enterprises in this country.
00:15:19.160 I want to get your sense of the American national corporate outlets and what you think of their current condition and what it likely will lead to from here.
00:15:32.100 Well, I look, it's disastrous.
00:15:34.220 You just have, you know, the most prestigious, well-known brands in journalism in America have become mouthpieces for the Democratic Party.
00:15:44.720 And, in fact, worse than that, they are part of the apparatus that is pushing the Democratic Party to the left, because if you're a politician and you don't sign up to all the crazy, you know, critical race theory and, you know, rainbow gender ideology stuff, you will be, you know, at best ignored, probably vilified in the pages of the New York Times, Washington Post on CNN.
00:16:11.880 And if you sign up to it and you're an advocate for it, they will just lavish you with wonderful praise and you'll get, you know, flattering photos in the magazines and you will be a hero.
00:16:25.400 And, unfortunately, the public still, there's a vestige of trust and belief in these institutions, these formerly great institutions that have been hollowed out and hijacked.
00:16:37.260 And there was a, I just was looking at something that Elon Musk put up, a chart of trust of the public in various media outlets.
00:16:48.080 And for Democrats, PBS and CNN are their most trusted outlet.
00:16:53.680 I mean, two of the most dishonest, lying outfits that you have in the country that whitewash everything that would be negative about the Democrats.
00:17:04.020 And, you know, we're on the Trump derangement train for his entire, Donald Trump's entire presidency.
00:17:11.760 So that's pretty disturbing.
00:17:13.900 And who did that poll, Miranda?
00:17:16.380 I'm not sure.
00:17:17.380 Elon Musk tweeted it and he'd sort of shaved off any identifying marks on it.
00:17:24.020 I guess it's one of the corporate outlets paying the pollsters contract.
00:17:29.580 Probably.
00:17:30.020 Because it is, it's a closed feedback loop now.
00:17:33.960 Totally.
00:17:34.780 That corporate money circles through media, the media then to the consumer slash voter, and then back into the coffers of corporate America.
00:17:44.580 It's a vicious cycle, if you will, rather than a virtuous one of any kind.
00:17:53.320 And it's here to stay for a while, I believe, because we don't have anyone, in my judgment, with Donald Trump's courage, if he does not run for president of the United States.
00:18:05.520 It's going to be a dramatic and suspenseful time existentially for America, I believe.
00:18:12.900 Yes, but, you know, even with Donald Trump as president, that doesn't affect how this corrupted media class behaves.
00:18:22.760 But there is a little bit of good news on the horizon, I think.
00:18:26.100 I mean, CNN has now been bought by, you know, John Malone, major shareholder.
00:18:32.440 And he's been, yeah, and been, and discovery, exactly.
00:18:37.880 And, you know, John Malone has been talking about trying to get this cable channel that used to be all news, 24-7 news, respected for doing that, getting it back to its roots and being fair and impartial, instead of just a 24-7 propaganda sheet for the Democrats.
00:18:58.720 So that's good news there, that will make a difference.
00:19:02.580 And I think, you know, if you could, if you could grab hold of the New York Times, and just, you don't have to make it conservative, you know, it can still be a little left, just if it were honest, and not pumping out very destructive cultural propaganda, like the 1619 Project, and all their, their vile race baiting, that's caused so much damage in this country.
00:19:26.320 Because the New York Times sets the agenda for the rest of the media.
00:19:31.260 I mean, I hate to say it, I hate to admit it, but that is the way it is.
00:19:35.020 People look at that as being a bastion of honest journalism, all the news that's fit to print.
00:19:41.700 It hasn't been that for a very long time, if it ever was.
00:19:45.560 I mean, if you remember Walter Durante, when I pull it, surprise, for being a Stalin apologist.
00:19:51.980 And the New York Times has handed that back.
00:19:56.020 In the 1930s.
00:19:57.260 And the result is, the old gray lady ain't what she used to be, to put it kindly.
00:20:04.820 To me, it's intriguing that the national corporate media outlets align themselves steadfastly to the political establishment and to the deep state that is the permanent bureaucracy and what we witnessed over the course of Donald Trump's presidency.
00:20:26.300 In fact, his candidacy through his presidency and then beyond, a persecution that is unprecedented in the annals of American history.
00:20:35.700 And we still have people who say, well, what do you mean that the FBI lied, that the FBI didn't act?
00:20:42.560 There are people, and I run into, and I'm serious about this, intelligent, knowledgeable people who do not understand the link between Hunter Biden and the first impeachment of the president of the United States.
00:20:56.060 They don't understand the role of the cover-up by the entire big tech social media vector.
00:21:06.360 It's beyond a sector that just brought down the curtain, as John Paul McIsaac put it, on October 14th, when the New York Post breaks the story, all of a sudden, New York Post is not a reputable news source.
00:21:23.900 And, and I mean, when they, you know it better than I do, when that curtain came down, it was darkness for the entire nation.
00:21:33.700 Yeah, that's right.
00:21:34.960 And, you know, as we know, there were polls showing that if Biden voters had known about this scandal that, you know, somewhere between 10 and 17%, depending which poll you look at, would have changed their vote.
00:21:46.760 And that would have been enough potentially to change the outcome of the election, which is one of many ways in which the, the, the media and the establishment worked to rig the election results a hundred different ways.
00:22:01.740 And, you know, a few thousand votes here, a few thousand votes there, it all adds up to, you know, Joe Biden, we're now lumbered with Joe Biden.
00:22:11.220 And we can thank a very dishonest media that spent almost the entire Trump presidency running lies about him, deliberately trying to destabilise him, to cripple his presidency,
00:22:26.080 to, you know, to, you know, take without any cynicism or skepticism or applying the most basic journalistic filter on the, the complete garbage that was being fed to them by anonymous, you know, sources, people like, you know, peddling the Steele dossier.
00:22:46.260 And, you know, you still have Democrats like Adam Schiff, who, I can't believe that guy who has been at the centre of every vile scandal from, you know, the Russia collusion hoax to claiming that the laptop was Russian disinformation.
00:23:04.360 He was right out the front doing that.
00:23:06.960 He's done more to peddle this false narrative of Russian disinformation than any other Democrat.
00:23:13.220 Maybe, you know, Nancy Pelosi is close behind.
00:23:17.080 And I just hope that after the midterm elections, when the Republicans get back control of the House and probably the Senate, that Adam Schiff is brought to account for his lies.
00:23:30.180 Yeah, when you say brought to account, what do you think reasonably that would look like?
00:23:35.560 Bringing Adam Schiff, a lying little Schiff, if ever there was one.
00:23:43.180 And by the way, I still find it amazing that a lot of people are reluctant to call him a liar.
00:23:48.880 Liar should be a billboard around his home.
00:23:53.980 It should be, you know, on a chain around his neck.
00:23:58.140 As far as I'm concerned, the word liar is the kindest thing that can be said about him.
00:24:03.480 Why do you believe the media is so reluctant to call him what he has been throughout?
00:24:09.240 Well, he's pretty clever.
00:24:11.200 And his lies have suited the narrative that the media wants to push.
00:24:18.980 So, you know, for instance, during the impeachment of Donald Trump, the first impeachment over Ukraine,
00:24:26.220 and that phone call with Zelensky, Adam Schiff was talking to the so-called whistleblower
00:24:33.940 and refused to, you know, this guy, Eric Churamella, who's, you know, a State Department guy who's been involved.
00:24:43.160 You know, we can't say that name.
00:24:45.260 CIA analyst.
00:24:46.420 We're not allowed to say that name.
00:24:47.660 Oh, sorry.
00:24:48.980 You know, everybody in the media was being told, you can't say the name.
00:24:52.000 And I'll be damned.
00:24:53.220 They didn't.
00:24:54.520 And for what reason?
00:24:56.140 Because someone in corporate media was lining up, doing exactly what the hell they were told.
00:25:03.200 And Eric, my good buddy, was sitting there playing every kind of game from Sunday to impugn a sitting president
00:25:12.960 at the orders of his betters, which is, of course, not really very specific,
00:25:18.700 because just about everybody is better than a coward like him.
00:25:22.840 Well, I mean, Adam Schiff used that sort of secrecy and that pretense at covering up for a whistleblower
00:25:32.480 to basically engineer President Trump's impeachment based on completely bogus information from partisan people
00:25:43.980 who had been involved with a lot of shady stuff in Ukraine that was happening with the State Department.
00:25:50.700 And, you know, there were people in the State Department, which this is, again, on the laptop,
00:25:55.240 people like George Kent and another guy called Amos Hochstein, who were, you know,
00:26:01.760 mid-level State Department people involved in Ukraine and energy policy,
00:26:05.560 who were disturbed about Hunter Biden's involvement with this corrupt energy company, Burisma,
00:26:11.580 at a time, a very fragile time for Ukraine after the Maiden Revolution,
00:26:16.240 when it was supposed to be rebuilding and with billions of dollars of IMF money,
00:26:21.180 a lot of which went missing, and also billions of American money in aid.
00:26:27.140 And, you know, Joe Biden was the point man for Obama in Ukraine.
00:26:31.700 He would fly in regularly and give these thundering speeches about corruption,
00:26:36.680 and you've got to get rid of corruption.
00:26:38.200 It's a cancer, while his own son is being paid $83,000 a month by the former energy minister, Zlachevsky,
00:26:48.060 who made his billions from getting these free oil leases and gas leases in the Donbass.
00:26:56.760 And that was what Burisma was exploiting, and that was why they had all that money to pay Hunter.
00:27:02.640 And Zlachevsky was under investigation with, you know, Interpol around the world.
00:27:08.840 He'd had millions of dollars frozen in a London bank account.
00:27:12.400 He had the Ukrainian, the new Ukrainian government and a clean skin prosecutor in Shokin,
00:27:18.020 who'd been brought out of retirement by the President Poroshenko,
00:27:22.740 who was taking the Americans at their word that they wanted to stamp out corruption.
00:27:27.060 So he brought this clean skin to start investigating corrupt people.
00:27:32.640 And the most corrupt outfit that he found was Burisma.
00:27:36.240 Then he started rounding up all the assets and investigating Burisma.
00:27:41.480 And, of course, that did not suit Joe Biden because his own son was being paid by Burisma.
00:27:48.200 So, you know, Joe Biden boasted about having insisted that that prosecutor Shokin be fired
00:27:57.420 and that he boasted that he withheld a billion dollars of USAID until that happened.
00:28:04.340 But what the New York Times and the Washington Post and the rest of the media took at face value
00:28:10.180 was Joe Biden's reason for firing Shokin.
00:28:13.580 And that was he said he was corrupt and he was not investigating Burisma.
00:28:18.180 But that is just untrue on its face because there is evidence that Shokin,
00:28:25.400 just before he was fired, had seized all the houses and plots of land and Rolls-Royce
00:28:32.140 belonging to the Burisma owner, Slachewski, in Kiev.
00:28:36.280 He had a warrant out for his arrest.
00:28:38.120 And now Shokin has given interviews to Ukrainian media in which he said he was planning to subpoena
00:28:45.640 Hunter Biden.
00:28:47.380 Right.
00:28:48.200 And with that backdrop right now, I think you must have said the name Joe Biden half a dozen times
00:28:56.840 within that.
00:28:58.120 He established perfectly the predicate for some question about his involvement in Ukraine
00:29:04.940 and the purpose of his withholding a billion dollars.
00:29:08.840 This may sound familiar to many people listening to us, Miranda, but that is precisely the reason
00:29:15.040 the pretext for the Democrats to impeach President Donald Trump because he was threatening to withhold
00:29:23.340 information on, excuse me, military aid unless he got an investigation and information from
00:29:31.300 Zelensky on that phone call.
00:29:33.220 I think it was in July 25th of 2019.
00:29:38.500 It's a difficult time for Americans because they can't trust their media.
00:29:47.600 They can't trust their government.
00:29:49.440 By the way, we can go back to Christopher Wray, the head of the FBI, September of 2020,
00:29:56.960 testifying before Congress and warning everybody about what he called the drumbeat, the drumbeat
00:30:04.520 of Russian disinformation.
00:30:06.740 That was to prepare the battleground for the Russian disinformation disinformation.
00:30:14.620 And it is, and then what followed, of course, was the 50 veterans, 51 veterans of the intelligence
00:30:24.820 community, you know, and then that was the shield for Joe Biden in the last debate of 2020.
00:30:34.420 Exactly.
00:30:34.980 I mean, that was really one of the most disturbing and upsetting part of this was that, you know,
00:30:43.260 we sort of expected that the rest of the media would not treat that story about Hunter Biden's
00:30:50.500 laptop seriously because they were all in the tank for Joe Biden.
00:30:55.500 So that was really not such a surprise.
00:30:57.680 What obviously was surprising was when big tech suppressed it.
00:31:01.280 But they probably couldn't have gotten away with it for the full three weeks before the
00:31:06.520 election, except that the 51 former intelligence bosses, people like John Brennan and James
00:31:15.460 Clapper and Michael Hayden and Leon Panetta, wrote that letter.
00:31:20.460 And, you know, they claimed in that letter that in their expert opinion, the laptop and therefore
00:31:25.480 our reporting had all the earmarks, I think they called it, of Russian disinformation.
00:31:30.500 They had a couple of weasel words further down, which they're now using to justify the letter
00:31:35.700 because not one of them that we've contacted has rescinded their support for that letter or
00:31:41.180 expressed any chagrin about having lied.
00:31:45.620 But they used all the authority of their former office, abused that authority and the prestige
00:31:54.580 of the history of the CIA and the NSA and all those prestigious institutions to help Joe Biden
00:32:05.040 out of a bind.
00:32:06.460 And he was in a great bind.
00:32:08.200 And you could just imagine behind the scenes the panic.
00:32:12.820 At the time, if you remember, Joe Biden went to ground.
00:32:16.740 He just went into his basement and did not come out.
00:32:19.740 No one could get to him.
00:32:20.840 They weren't answering questions.
00:32:21.940 His media people were in a spin.
00:32:24.720 They were telling one thing to one outlet and another thing to another.
00:32:28.240 They were saying, oh, maybe there was a meeting with this Burisma guy that wasn't on his official
00:32:34.420 diary, but it would have only been in passing and he doesn't remember it.
00:32:38.760 They were at panic stations.
00:32:41.140 And this letter was his get out of jail free card.
00:32:44.500 And he used it as if he'd really memorised the points around it.
00:32:51.100 He said, you know, these were the intelligence community and they deemed that this laptop is
00:32:58.180 Russian disinformation.
00:32:59.240 He knew exactly what he was saying, even though he was foggy on everything else.
00:33:03.300 This was the most important point he made.
00:33:05.420 And it worked for him because no more questions were asked.
00:33:10.200 And basically, Donald Trump was shut down.
00:33:13.400 He was he was shut down.
00:33:15.380 But it's important, I think, for for us all.
00:33:20.120 Everyone listening to this show, to understand completely what happened, it was a coordinated,
00:33:27.520 orchestrated effort among the deep state, the Democratic Party, their candidates, the DNC and
00:33:35.820 Hillary Clinton.
00:33:36.540 And this this ruse, this subterfuge, Russian disinformation was the weapon of choice for
00:33:47.240 the Democrats, the deep state and the corporate media from 2015 right through to this very day,
00:33:57.740 because there are news outlets that use national security still as a reason to withhold a full
00:34:06.480 throated denunciation of the corruption in our government, our news organizations and media.
00:34:13.700 And by the way, I also entertainment media.
00:34:15.860 It reached into entertainment media as well and intentionally.
00:34:19.920 And so and and and and across our political system.
00:34:28.360 It was a horrible and ugly day, October 14th, because of what descended.
00:34:35.760 There is no reason it should have been October 14th, by the way, of 2020.
00:34:40.640 It should have it should have broken in October of 2019.
00:34:46.220 Don't you agree?
00:34:47.000 Well, December of 2019, anyway, when the the the FBI got hold of the laptop, I mean, there's
00:34:53.260 no excuse for them not to have seen that that evidence and seen that it was, you know, relevant
00:35:01.820 to the impeachment.
00:35:03.780 And I mean, it's just a pity, I think, you know, it goes to the sort of honesty of John
00:35:10.380 Paul Mac Isaac and the fact that he wasn't some sort of partisan stooge because, you know,
00:35:17.000 if he just he gave it to the FBI, thought that they would do the right thing.
00:35:21.420 And it was only in the end of August that he actually of the following year.
00:35:26.160 So eight months later, nine months later, almost that he called Rudy Giuliani's lawyer and
00:35:32.580 and passed on that information.
00:35:35.260 So, you know, he was an honest guy, very patriotic, trusted the FBI, but then came to realize that
00:35:42.920 nothing was being done, that that the president was being impeached anyway, and that all the
00:35:48.920 information that he'd found that would have exonerated him or at least explained why the
00:35:54.320 president was so interested in getting to the bottom of the Biden corruption in Ukraine.
00:35:59.080 None of that had had been used.
00:36:02.740 And we told we saw there was an FBI, the guy who was the head of their cyber division, was
00:36:08.500 interviewed in Congress the other day.
00:36:11.440 And I think Matt Gaetz was the congressman who who really grilled him and said, where is
00:36:17.240 Hunter Biden's laptop?
00:36:18.800 And the guy was looked as if he was insulted to be asked such a question.
00:36:22.860 And he said, we don't know.
00:36:24.940 I have no idea where it is, you know.
00:36:26.620 So that's really not good enough.
00:36:31.000 It's not good enough.
00:36:32.080 And unless the Republicans take control, and I'm not talking about the rhinos, I'm talking
00:36:36.960 about the real Republicans.
00:36:38.460 Yeah.
00:36:39.700 If they take control and the conservatives of the House, there is a chance.
00:36:45.320 But I think I've got to be honest with everyone about this.
00:36:48.620 I think it's the slimmest of chances, frankly.
00:36:51.080 It exists.
00:36:51.920 It's a possibility.
00:36:52.820 But it's not a probability in Washington, D.C.
00:36:55.880 Because the corruption, ladies and gentlemen, is endless.
00:37:00.580 It's pervasive.
00:37:01.680 It is deep.
00:37:02.980 It is evil incarnate.
00:37:06.260 It infests every single institution in our government and in our political system.
00:37:14.900 Do you think I'm exaggerating?
00:37:16.380 I don't, but I don't think it's all encompassing.
00:37:22.140 I think there are still very good people there.
00:37:25.460 And I think we can take some hard work.
00:37:28.120 Where are they, Miranda?
00:37:29.020 Well, the U.S. Attorney's Office in Delaware appears to be doing a thorough and independent
00:37:35.920 investigation.
00:37:37.620 I mean, let's see.
00:37:38.600 But this is what I hear.
00:37:39.760 And they are following all the evidence where it leads, no matter where it leads.
00:37:46.300 And, you know, obviously, the boss of the U.S. Attorney in Delaware, David Weiss, is the
00:37:52.320 Attorney General, Merrick Garland.
00:37:54.180 His boss is Joe Biden.
00:37:56.800 But I think Merrick Garland was burned by that just terrible incident where the FBI was sicked
00:38:06.020 on to mums and dads at school board meetings.
00:38:09.320 Seems from his questioning that he'd been kept in the dark on that.
00:38:14.500 Maybe that was plausible deniability.
00:38:16.900 Maybe that was, you know, his underlings keeping him in the dark.
00:38:22.100 You know, there are some real activists in the Attorney General's Office, as Bill Barr would say.
00:38:26.660 But he needs to worry about his own reputation.
00:38:32.580 You know, this is a man who had designs on being a Supreme Court justice.
00:38:37.320 So he doesn't want to go down with the sinking ship in history of the Biden administration.
00:38:45.280 And so I suspect that he will just allow the investigation to take its course as it should.
00:38:52.560 And I think that, you know, knowing what material there is, not just on the laptop,
00:38:59.340 but in all of Tony Bobulinski's devices that he also handed over to the FBI and which are available
00:39:05.860 to that grand jury, and also all the material, the money trail that has been uncovered so expertly
00:39:14.740 and bravely, really, against all sorts of defamation of them, Chuck Grasley and Ron Johnson,
00:39:22.940 the two Republican senators who alone have been running this investigation into Hunter Biden
00:39:29.120 and the corruption that went on in Burisma and elsewhere, the bribery, the millions of dollars
00:39:34.400 they've tracked through Treasury Department reports that have come from China and Russia
00:39:41.220 and elsewhere into Biden bank accounts and the bank accounts of their business partners.
00:39:48.920 And they were themselves disgustingly vilified by the Democrats, by the likes of Adam Schiff,
00:39:57.440 as Russian disinformation merchants, agents of the Kremlin.
00:40:02.560 Mitt Romney and Rob Portman, two Republican senators on the committee with Ron Johnson,
00:40:07.840 refused to allow him to subpoena certain people, including Hunter Biden, including a Ukrainian witness
00:40:15.960 who would have been very useful, and just succumbed to or pretended to believe or believed
00:40:24.040 the defamation by the Democrats about Russian disinformation.
00:40:28.720 So, you know, the Republicans really have themselves to blame.
00:40:32.360 And when they had power, they did not do the proper due diligence that was needed on Joe Biden,
00:40:39.420 and they did not follow through on this corruption scandal.
00:40:41.920 And only two senators really have been valiant in this.
00:40:46.540 And I hope Ron Johnson has no trouble winning re-election.
00:40:52.640 Yeah, I agree with you about Ron Johnson.
00:40:54.580 I think that, you know, frankly, there's even an ember or two flaring, and Ted Cruz's heart, it seems,
00:41:04.540 and I hope that continues.
00:41:06.720 We also see a lot of opportunists stepping forward, as you might expect in this moment on the part of Republicans.
00:41:14.220 But I want to go back to the Delaware U.S. Attorney and point out something, and I really do think it's material and important.
00:41:26.440 That grand jury has been going for four years.
00:41:32.420 Four years.
00:41:33.600 Now, I don't understand something, and I'm not a lawyer, but I am a fairly imaginative fellow from time to time,
00:41:44.520 and I do get lucky when I think.
00:41:47.020 Four years for an investigation on national security areas involved,
00:41:54.300 on the uppermost political governmental offices of this country.
00:42:01.020 Don't you think somebody should light a fire?
00:42:04.700 And Merrick Garland, you make him sound like a choir boar, Miranda.
00:42:10.280 This man consented to treating outraged parents, defending their children,
00:42:18.860 and insisting that the school system listen to them as domestic terrorists.
00:42:23.820 And if he did not know that, if there was no antecedent, he certainly had a responsibility to hold accountable.
00:42:31.740 I have not heard of a single person in the Justice Department being fired.
00:42:35.620 I haven't heard of a single one.
00:42:38.400 And Merrick Garland, instead, seems like he is definitely part of the problem, not the solution, at least to me.
00:42:45.040 Yes, I do agree with you.
00:42:47.840 But what I will say is, yes, that was an appalling episode and reflected extremely badly on him.
00:42:55.560 But what I will say is that he, you know, self-preservation wins over everything.
00:43:01.520 And I think that he will have been, he was badly burned by that.
00:43:06.420 His reputation took an enormous hit, and that will be a stain on him forever.
00:43:11.240 And I don't think he has the appetite to have any more stains on his reputation.
00:43:16.540 You know, I believe he would resign rather than be party to crushing what the investigation in Delaware is finding
00:43:25.900 and stopping them from making indictments, if that's what they're going to do.
00:43:30.280 So, look, until I hear otherwise, I'm not going to be overly cynical.
00:43:35.880 I just see that this, you're right, they've been investigating Hunter since 2018.
00:43:42.240 But COVID came in the middle, and it's the same as John Durham.
00:43:46.400 I'm still willing to, you know, expect that John Durham will come out at the end with some useful information for us
00:43:56.280 and some indictments that are needed.
00:43:59.760 But COVID really stopped them subpoenaing people, stopped the grand jury from convening.
00:44:04.980 It really was, you know, a real upset and delayed everything.
00:44:09.840 Yeah, I just want the American people, and by the way, I love the way you girded yourself against this cynicism
00:44:18.100 that has an unknown source in your statement.
00:44:20.260 I had the feeling it was mine.
00:44:22.240 So I'm going to repay the favor and say I'm girding myself against a wide-eyed Pollyanna optimism,
00:44:30.880 and we'll call it even on the day.
00:44:33.300 Fair enough.
00:44:33.820 I do want to turn to your most recent reporting, and because I think it is, as usual, right up to Miranda Devine's standards.
00:44:44.800 It's the idea that this suspect in the subway shooting and terrorist act.
00:44:52.800 Your thoughts on that, I think, are exactly right on.
00:44:57.240 And this act was committed at, what, 8.30 in the morning, right, this incident.
00:45:06.300 I didn't know the description of the man.
00:45:08.980 I just knew he was about 5'5".
00:45:11.380 He had, you know, a gas mask on, you know, which sort of makes it tough.
00:45:17.920 Without any other features being broadcast by the media, to me, it was just they didn't really want to catch this guy
00:45:24.040 because there was being an incredible sensitivity about how helpful it would be to know,
00:45:28.680 was he white?
00:45:30.180 Was he Hispanic?
00:45:31.560 Was he black?
00:45:32.520 Was he Asian?
00:45:33.500 That would be a winnowing set of characteristics.
00:45:37.860 Sure.
00:45:38.480 Well, look, the New York Post, I have to say, in our defence, did write that he was a black man.
00:45:45.000 So I'm not sure how long that silence went.
00:45:49.460 I mean, that could be the cops being politically correct.
00:45:52.320 You know, I wouldn't put it past them.
00:45:54.360 I wouldn't either.
00:45:55.400 Yeah.
00:45:55.700 And that's to the detriment of our safety again.
00:45:58.180 But, you know, the whole PC woke attitude has, you know, permeated everything, including the FBI.
00:46:09.380 And so back in 2016, the FBI issued a report in which they identified a new form of domestic terrorism
00:46:20.040 that they thought was a threat.
00:46:21.380 And they called it black identity extremism.
00:46:24.560 And it stemmed from, you know, these BLM, you know, protests, riots, whatever.
00:46:31.880 And the previous year, the massacre of those Dallas police officers, six killed, numerous others injured
00:46:39.720 by a black nationalist, a follower of Nation of Islam.
00:46:44.960 So this is really rancid anti-white racism.
00:46:49.280 It is the very definition of hate speech.
00:46:53.860 And, you know, the FBI was just following the evidence and, I guess, gearing up to start
00:47:02.280 tackling this new form of domestic terrorism.
00:47:06.220 And what happened?
00:47:07.540 Soon as their report came out, there was an immediate backlash from the media.
00:47:12.740 They were sneered at.
00:47:14.540 They were condemned as racist.
00:47:16.380 You had, you know, legal activists coming out and saying this is like the worst of the,
00:47:21.660 you know, the Hoover days and targeting black people.
00:47:25.720 And, you know, they just became, they were kowtowed by this.
00:47:31.480 Within months, they'd stopped using the term.
00:47:35.060 By 2019, you had Christopher Wray appearing before Congress saying, no, they don't use that term.
00:47:42.680 And that really white supremacy was a big factor in domestic terrorism.
00:47:50.080 And there you go.
00:47:51.100 And then you go right up until January 6th, where the president, Nancy Pelosi, the FBI,
00:47:59.180 all in, you know, lockstep talking about these Trump supporters.
00:48:07.140 And some of them obviously did the wrong thing and shouldn't have broken in, et cetera.
00:48:10.400 No one's defending anybody who broke the law.
00:48:12.740 But they were not white supremacists at all.
00:48:15.680 I mean, it was ridiculous.
00:48:16.620 It had nothing to do with race.
00:48:18.100 It was about their feeling that the election had been stolen and they wanted to stop that
00:48:23.960 happening.
00:48:24.380 And so nothing to do with white supremacy.
00:48:27.260 It's been completely, the narrative has now been changed.
00:48:30.640 They're domestic terrorists and white supremacists.
00:48:32.900 And meanwhile, just a couple of months after that January 6th riot, what happens?
00:48:39.680 You get another black nationalist Nation of Islam guy slams his car into two Capitol police
00:48:47.480 officers outside the Capitol, killing one.
00:48:50.400 And that story is just memory hold immediately because it is, it runs counter to the narrative.
00:48:56.860 And, you know, we've had other incidents where the black nationalists have come out and committed
00:49:04.360 acts of domestic terrorism.
00:49:06.420 And that leads us to Tuesday's rampage on the subway.
00:49:10.420 This guy from, you know, he's obviously got a screw loose, as I guess they all do.
00:49:16.120 But his outpourings on social media are all about, you know, black nationalism, Nation of Islam.
00:49:24.100 He even has an image of that cop killer from Dallas, Mika Johnson, on his social media.
00:49:31.340 I mean, Black Panthers, Black Liberation Army, BLM.
00:49:35.360 He talks constantly about a looming race war.
00:49:39.260 He's vicious and hate-filled about white people.
00:49:44.200 He talks about black people who get on with white people as being, you know, somehow at fault as well.
00:49:51.680 He cries at one point when he shows an image of Judge Ketanji Brown, who'd just been named
00:49:59.900 to the Supreme Court, and showed that she was married to a white man who he called the enemy.
00:50:05.280 I mean, he's crying because she married a white man.
00:50:07.260 So this guy is rancidly racist.
00:50:10.120 And yet, you know, that sort of ideology the FBI has deemed doesn't exist.
00:50:19.100 Amazing.
00:50:20.260 Amazing.
00:50:20.980 And what you could really call BIE, really, is black supremacy.
00:50:26.260 Exactly.
00:50:26.660 And the fact that this language is so important to certain interested groups, vested interests
00:50:35.580 of all sorts, control the language, you control the mind.
00:50:41.440 Control the language, and you control the debate.
00:50:45.300 And that's exactly what the left is so—the Marxist left is particularly gifted in doing.
00:50:50.780 And it is one of the many clumsy areas for Republicans and conservatives.
00:50:57.620 It's language and their inattention to it when it matters most, and that is in communicating
00:51:03.420 to the American voting public.
00:51:05.860 I want to say to you, as always, Miranda, it is terrific talking with you, always educational,
00:51:12.360 informative, and entertaining for all of us.
00:51:15.740 I get to be entertained and informed and educated, too, and we always love the opportunity to
00:51:22.900 talk with you.
00:51:23.820 You get the concluding thoughts, as always, on this broadcast, our guest with the last
00:51:28.720 word.
00:51:29.920 Well, thanks, Lou.
00:51:30.660 You're so kind and generous, always, and I love coming on your show.
00:51:34.540 I want to leave with a bit of a Pollyanna upbeat note.
00:51:39.420 Oh, there you go.
00:51:40.420 And that is, based in evidence, though, and that is, look at the latest Quinnipiac poll
00:51:47.760 on Joe Biden, and you see a nation that is rapidly being red-pilled.
00:51:54.340 His disapproval level is just through the roof.
00:51:58.420 I think, you know, overall, it's 54%.
00:52:01.180 But when you look, his approval level's down at 33%.
00:52:06.560 But when you look at independents, 26%.
00:52:09.920 You look at Hispanics, 26%.
00:52:13.080 And young people, 18 to 34, he's down at 21%.
00:52:19.140 So that tells you that people are not buying the lies that are spewed daily from Joe Biden,
00:52:28.380 from his White House, and from the media that has been gaslighting them for, you know, for eight
00:52:35.900 years at least.
00:52:37.240 So let's hope that that's the beginning of a new dawn, that people are less likely to believe
00:52:45.300 the lies and more likely to get out and vote.
00:52:49.140 And it just puts the pressure on the Republicans to clean up their act and make sure that the elections
00:52:54.740 are fair and free, and that when they get into office, they actually bring people to account
00:53:02.260 for all the things that they've done wrong.
00:53:04.900 Chiefly, you know, Biden opening the border to millions of illegal migrants.
00:53:10.940 That has to be remedied.
00:53:13.140 People have to be punished for that.
00:53:14.800 And secondly, they have to look into, have investigations into the laptop.
00:53:21.500 I mean, it's not just the laptop, obviously.
00:53:23.140 It's the Bobulinski stuff as well.
00:53:25.060 They have to investigate the Biden influence peddling scheme without fear or favour, because
00:53:30.820 he's not the only person in Washington who's been influence peddling and making money out
00:53:36.860 of bribery and corruption.
00:53:38.380 So it's also Republicans in the picture.
00:53:41.100 So they have to be willing, good, honest Republicans with integrity to even target their own side.
00:53:49.240 Well said.
00:53:50.620 And I accede to your optimism on that, because, as they say, numbers don't lie.
00:53:59.840 And to see these numbers this low for Biden is indeed encouraging.
00:54:03.640 Miranda Devine, New York Post, greatest columnist, in my opinion, in the country.
00:54:12.020 And I really thank you.
00:54:14.700 Thanks.
00:54:15.020 You too, Lou.
00:54:16.000 And happy Easter.
00:54:17.100 Happy Easter.
00:54:18.620 The New York Post, Miranda Devine, great journalist, great American.
00:54:23.640 And I want to point out, Steve Bannon advised President Trump to start spending big to assure
00:54:28.840 the candidates that the president had endorsed win in the primaries.
00:54:33.480 And today, it appears that Mr. Trump is following Steve's counsel and has started to pour cash
00:54:40.100 into the Georgia Republican gubernatorial primary.
00:54:43.820 It's Trump Save America PAC's initial spend, an injection of half a million dollars into the
00:54:50.300 Georgia race between Trump-endorsed David Perdue and Governor Brian Kemp.
00:54:56.380 Thanks for being with us today.
00:54:57.800 And tomorrow, I talk with Luke Rosiak, author of Race to the Bottom, Uncovering the Secret
00:55:04.300 Forces Destroying American Public Education.
00:55:08.080 You don't want to miss it.
00:55:09.360 Till then, God bless you.
00:55:11.760 And God bless America.
