Cash has been a long-time supporter of President Trump and has been working to elect pro-Trump candidates across the country.
00:00:45.960Arizona, Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, and Washington.
00:00:51.280Almost a third of the elections that will be held this month being held today.
00:00:57.140And there are huge battles underway for the GOP nominations for the governorship, the Senate, and the Attorney General in the great state of Arizona.
00:01:07.280In Arizona, favored as of Election Day, President Trump's endorsed candidates,
00:01:13.500Carrie Lake for Governor, Abe Hamada for Attorney General, and Blake Masters for U.S. Senate.
00:01:21.280And in Phoenix, working for the election of those candidates, a great American, Cash Patel.
00:01:27.040He's also our guest here today on the Great America Show.
00:01:30.740Cash is an attorney, former chief of staff to the Secretary of Defense.
00:01:35.100House Intel Committee has his own podcast called Cash's Corner.
00:01:39.660And he's written a best-selling children's book entitled The Plot Against the King.
00:05:08.160We both know how the law enforcement system works over there.
00:05:11.200And I think you've also learned the importance, not you, but many people in Arizona, the importance of having a person with prosecutorial experience be your state attorney general.
00:05:20.360Because they're the ones not only directing your election standards and your election reform standards and protecting against election fraud.
00:05:28.640But in a state like Arizona, you need a crime fighter in your Arizona state AG.
00:05:34.100And Abe has gone out there and said he's going to take on the cartels in Mexico and help shield the southern border and stop the illicit flow of narcotics, killing the youth here and the rest of America.
00:05:44.740And I'm not hearing too many other people say that in a border state, which is why I think Abe is the right guy for the job.
00:07:29.280And I think the fact that people are finally starting to talk about it shows you how much of a negative impact this has had on everyday Americans in middle America.
00:08:27.120And now you're seeing the border wall, of course, you know, not surprisingly being built because even this Biden administration can't duck away from the fact that it worked and too many people are dying and too many Americans are being victimized by illegal immigrants for crimes such as rape and murder.
00:08:45.120However, how much is enough, and how much is the West Wing media going to help them cover for it?
00:08:50.800They'll cover for it until whatever freezes over.
00:08:55.520As you know, what's funny is to watch the idiots in the White House try to cover for their president, and they're still referring to it as a racist wall even as they are building sections of the wall now.
00:09:10.040It is so pathetic to watch these people operate.
00:09:13.780And talking about going to war against the cartels, it looks like we may have to go to war against China.
00:09:45.260And I think it's about time somebody with some standing, some authority, stand up and say to the Chinese, no more rhetoric or you're going to eat something.
00:09:57.740And you're not going to get anything but the indigestion from it.
00:10:19.660That we oppose any eulateral changes to the status quo from either side.
00:10:25.000We have said that we do not support Taiwan independence.
00:10:28.600And we have said that we expect cross-trade differences to be resolved by peaceful means.
00:10:34.820That's a former U.S. Navy admiral talking like a conflict-averse bond trader.
00:10:43.120Who in the world are these people, Cash?
00:10:45.620Lou, you're right, and I'm glad you're playing this because nobody's talking about this clip.
00:10:51.680I mean, unless I've been asleep for 20 years, that is a tectonic shift in the United States position on China and Taiwanese relationships.
00:10:59.840Now we have a U.S. commander-in-chief saying we don't support Taiwan and their independence.
00:11:05.900Look at them slip that one under the rug.
00:11:07.920While the Speaker of the House is out in that theater and she might stop in Taiwan, I think you're right.
00:11:14.060The Chinese, and this is why Donald Trump puts such an emphasis on it, they are our number one adversary, period.
00:11:20.340In everything from military to economic to diplomatic relations, China is our number one enemy.
00:11:28.540And we, under the Biden administration, have seen the consequences when you politicize the national security apparatus
00:11:33.920and you have rubes like Kirby go to the podium and make a historic change in American policy and have no one cover it because they're just empty words.
00:11:44.060And the Chinese government hasn't been listening since Joe Biden ascended to the presidency.
00:11:48.240They don't care what these people say or do.
00:11:50.520And they have little respect for the likes of Nancy Pelosi hobnobbing around their, you know, in and around their country.
00:11:57.080And I do, you know, I might be in the minority, but I think it's a terrible idea at this point for Nancy Pelosi to touch down in Taiwan
00:12:02.900because we don't have the infrastructure or the audacity to protect any of our citizens, let alone the Speaker of the House,
00:12:22.960And Kirby, he makes news most of the time if people would just listen to him because he is adroit at the ambiguous, the ambivalent, and the uninformed.
00:12:35.540It is, to me, a remarkable moment in history where the Speaker of the House has more guts and more presence and more focus than the President of the United States.
00:12:49.240Or let's go to the, what would be Nancy Pelosi's number two boss in the succession of things, Kamala Harris.
00:12:59.340But you know who's missing in all of this?
00:13:01.800What happened to Secretary of State Blinken?
00:13:53.520He's not dictating the policy diplomacy that's supposed to be happening from our State Department.
00:13:59.740Instead, you know, you put it astutely, you have Nancy Pelosi flying around the world and commandeering for herself from the legislative branch, the authorities at the executive branch is failing to perform.
00:14:41.400But my guess on Antony Blinken, Secretary of State, and Lloyd Austin, Secretary of Defense, is my guess is this, at this very moment, with all that's happening in Ukraine, all the threats emanating from the Kremlin, with all of the threats emanating from Beijing and Xi Jinping,
00:15:01.960my guess is that those two men right now are in their private toilets grabbing hold of porcelain and puking their guts out with fear, uncertainty, and anxiety about what to do next because they knew who the commander-in-chief is.
00:15:19.140I mean, I'd be scared to death, too, to tell you the truth.
00:15:25.060I think the top two cabinet secretaries, the SecDef and the SecState, have been completely muted by the incompetence and politicization of the national security apparatus.
00:15:36.500Now, listen, they're not innocent in this.
00:15:39.640They've steered the machine so that America has gotten so weak that we have no authority left overseas whatsoever.
00:15:47.780We have no capabilities to assuage the enemy from attacking us.
00:15:52.080China is pillaging us via TikTok and all these other matters, Huawei and everything else.
00:15:57.620They're stealing American information, and information in warfare is key, and everybody's focused on how much more money we can print to give to the Ukrainians rather than how much we can focus on American national security and American citizens.
00:16:12.340And that's the message that's been lost.
00:16:14.240That's the message, though, that's been transported by the likes of Austin and Millie and Blinken and whoever else is in this guy's cabinet.
00:16:22.700It's been a total failure of diplomacy and leadership, and this is where we are now.
00:16:31.020And it's just they're killing us with fentanyl.
00:16:34.240They've got away with releasing the Wuhan virus to the world without warning anyone, the moral equivalency of certainly murder, and there's no response from the world.
00:16:47.520And, by the way, no response from the United States either.
00:17:06.260And the left-wing media, Cash, they are so corrupt and servile as they bow before their corporate masters to do what they're told by corporate America and Wall Street.
00:17:22.940It's just a disgusting time for a working man, a working woman, their families.
00:17:29.220Anyone in this country who is a patriot has got to be just sick to their stomachs right now.
00:17:35.400I think you're right, and I think that's what we're seeing in these statewide races, whether I'm in Arizona or Nevada or Washington State or down in Florida or where have you.
00:17:44.180I think you're seeing that so much in the American citizenry who used to be quiet and expected our leadership to perform have seen what happens when they fail to perform, which is why they're showing up in such record numbers to events that we're all doing for America First candidates around the country.
00:17:59.160And that's how I think people have realized, and I believe it's the only way, to force change needed in Washington.
00:18:05.100They have now seen what happens when you hand over the radical-left Democrats, the gavels, the majorities in Congress.
00:18:12.740They will run the unselect committee from January 6th from now until the moon to create false narratives and fake disinformation campaigns that the left-wing media will carry because they're all in bed together, and they're getting paid together, and they're making each other rich.
00:18:26.920When they leave Congress, they're getting hired by New York Times and CNN and MSNBC, but the American citizenry is waking up and saying, whoa, whoa, whoa, we have to stop this.
00:18:37.140And the way you stop it is by statewide offices who have control over how your elections are run, not the federal government, and then sending folks to Congress in the midterms with a Republican majority to investigate matters of consequence.
00:18:50.740Why the FBI is so corrupt, not just on Russiagate, but what is going on in the Hunter Biden laptop investigation?
00:18:58.740How are corrupt FBI agents allowed, under Chris Wray, a total failure to have zero accountability when they violate the law, yet they are allowed to launch massive political witch hunts against everyday Americans who are exercising their rights, be it on January 6th or elsewhere?
00:19:13.760And this Department of Justice is just as corrupt and liable for depriving so many innocent people of due process under the law that, you know what, people around the country have said, that's it, we can't have you guys anymore.
00:19:26.780Even the people that used to be quiet are starting to make noise, and I think that we are reaching a breaking point.
00:19:31.780Well, I, like you, hope that the American people will make a large, loud, and convincing noise on November 8th, because we must.
00:19:43.300Abe Hamada said to me on this show that, you know, people need to remember that this country's federal government was created by the state governments, 13 of them,
00:19:56.020and that it's going to take the state governments to actually rescue this federal government this time.
00:20:03.280And I believe he's exactly right, and I think it's a wonderful way to put it.
00:20:07.300Because this, you know, and no one knows more about the national security apparatus of this country than, than Kash Patel.
00:20:48.280I mean, where does, is there a, is there a moat around our intelligence agencies that keeps them from further corrupting the government itself?
00:21:02.320It ends, it ends, it's, unfortunately, it's right now, it's endemic in certain levels of every agency and department.
00:21:09.240And what I mean by that is, look, I've worked at the DOJ, the FBI, the DOD, and the IC, and some of the senior most positions.
00:21:16.240And when we have leadership and personnel there that don't bow to partisan whims and the left-wing media,
00:21:22.460we get the job done because we put the mission first, like we did under President Trump.
00:21:26.460What happens when you allow these people to flourish into cabinet positions, like the names we've been talking about,
00:21:32.600is they put, they pull up the few folks in those agencies and departments who believe that they're,
00:21:38.760the system of government in America is failing, and for some reason we need to move towards socialism and give them jobs.
00:21:44.600And the way you change that, and look, I believe this, the following statement,
00:21:48.540most of the people I serve with who are still in these government agencies are great Americans.
00:21:53.120They do awesome work on the national security front.
00:21:55.280They're being suffocated by the likes of Chris Wray and Merrick Garland and Lloyd Austin and Blinken and whoever the guy is at the CIA and whatnot.
00:22:04.740These people have been put in to politicize the national security apparatus.
00:22:08.800So how do you stop it short of 2024 and another Republican president?
00:22:12.980When the midterms are won, you subpoena every one of these individuals.
00:22:17.320The Republicans hauls them before Congress under oath and demands all the documentation to expose the corruption
00:22:23.320in the 100 Biden laptop, in the Russiagate sequencing, in the election stuff, everything.
00:22:28.460And you force them to provide that like they are forcing Americans today on January 6th committee to force themselves into court.
00:24:41.040You know, look, as a former federal public defender, a guy who used to go into court and champion due process because due process is blind, it's not Republican or Democrat,
00:24:51.300it's shocking to me to see the liberals who used to say they used to own the rights to the Constitution when it came to due process.
00:24:58.400And the people like in the public defender community, the ACLU of the world, it's shocking to hear their deafening silence when the rights, as you outlined, of the January, so many of the January 6th detainees are being violated.
00:25:09.620People are being held no bond who have no criminal history or little criminal history because the judges have bought into the political farce that these prosecutors have shoved into the courtrooms.
00:25:20.120And they are all, I agree with you, complicit in the unlawful, illegal detention of so many of these individuals.
00:25:26.160And one of these individuals tragically committed suicide.
00:25:29.080And so many others are forcing themselves to plead guilty early so they can get out of solitary confinement in these conditions in prison, which are just terrible.
00:25:38.700And short of 2024, again, the only lever we have right now is to win back Congress and then conduct oversight over these prosecutions and prosecutors over these judges.
00:25:50.380And that falls to the Judiciary Committee in the House and the Senate to haul the attorney general and the Bureau of Prisons chief and every one of these prosecutors into court to say,
00:26:00.000What is your justification for holding 60-year-old women with almost no criminal history behind bars because they trespassed?
00:26:08.260And, oh, by the way, into the Capitol, as you say, why is there a double standard of justice when Stephen Colbert's kangaroo crew goes in and commits the same offense and the Capitol police arrest them for the same offense and all of those guys get a get out of jail free card?
00:26:23.860But if you're a Republican and you're pushing Trump, you are detained in prison without bond.
00:26:30.300That question needs to be answered, and I think that's what's driving a lot of people to focus on January 6th, because it's the highlight of the two-tier system of justice that we see going across America.
00:26:41.640And that must be stopped, in my opinion, more than any other danger we currently face domestically.
00:26:48.580And to me, it's Marxist authoritarian justice under the trade style of the Democrat Party.
00:26:58.680I want to turn one last question here, and it is a political question.
00:27:04.400Ronald McDaniel, Ronald McDaniel, the chair of the OECD, now predicts the Republican Party will only gain four House seats in the midterms.
00:27:14.940Now, I have talked strategist after strategist, pollster after pollster, and the numbers are 40 to 60, a landslide, a red wave.
00:27:28.320And the chair of the RNC goes out on cable television and says only four seats.
00:27:35.900Is she managing expectations, or she is just as dumb as some of her critics say?
00:27:41.060I don't know where that information comes from, but I've said from the beginning of this race that it's a 40-seat swing to get a Republican supermajority in the House.
00:27:52.360And I think we can pick up three to four seats in the Senate.
00:27:55.720I do think we're going to get Nevada and Arizona and Ohio and possibly even Georgia or Pennsylvania.
00:28:01.840We do that, and we're getting the 53-54, and that's a massive win.
00:28:05.800And the RNC writ large should be pushing all of these right stories out front.
00:28:12.140Maybe I need to send them my children's book on Russia, Kate, The Plot Against the King,
00:28:17.140so they can learn that there are America First candidates out there who are swinging for their Republican, our Republican Party.
00:28:26.080And instead of dividing us, maybe they can unify us.
00:28:29.320And I will shamelessly say, Lou, that I've just launched today the audiobook of the great book, The Plot Against the King,
00:28:36.460which is the number one children's bestseller, Russiagate for Kids, and it's out now.
00:28:40.260So if anyone out there wants a great read, go to gettheplotagainsttheking.com and maybe even grab yourself an audiobook.
