00:00:00.000 Hello, everybody. I'm Lou Dobbs, and welcome to The Great America Show. Great to have you
00:00:08.140 with us. And I want to share with you now a warning from our friends at American Alternative
00:00:12.720 Assets. The banking crisis of 2023 is now worse than the banking collapse of 2008. First Republic,
00:00:21.360 Silicon Valley Bank, and PacWest are just a few of the casualties already. Don't wait for that
00:00:27.420 email reading, quote, sorry, your account has been frozen. Protect your assets now and call my
00:00:33.980 friends at American Alternative Assets. Ask for your free wealth protection guide. Call 866 and the
00:00:41.560 number 3 USA Gold. That's right. Call now 866 the number 3 USA Gold. We start today with a long
00:00:52.280 awaited conclusion of the John Durham Special Counsel report on the origins of the FBI's
00:00:58.840 fabricated Russian collusion investigation of the Trump campaign and subsequently his presidency.
00:01:06.560 A.G. William Barr appointed John Durham Special Counsel back in October of 2019 to look into the
00:01:14.680 Trump-Russia collusion hoax. After two years and seven months of such investigation,
00:01:21.560 John Durham reaching these conclusions in his 300-page report. You're going to love this.
00:01:28.740 Based on the review of crossfire hurricane and related intelligence activities,
00:01:34.360 we conclude that the Justice Department and FBI failed to uphold their important mission of strict
00:01:40.980 fidelity to the law in connection with certain events and activities described in this report.
00:01:48.600 Now, I'm going to translate all of that in each one of these conclusions, and here is our first
00:01:54.500 translation of the day. Translation. The FBI trampled the law and FBI regulations and ignored their own
00:02:03.520 code of ethics. The report's next conclusion, quote,
00:02:07.760 This information, in part, triggered and sustained crossfire hurricane and contributed to the
00:02:14.600 subsequent need for Special Counsel Mueller's investigation. In particular, there was significant
00:02:20.480 reliance on investigative leads provided or funded by Trump's political opponents. End quote.
00:02:28.820 Translation. The FBI was played for fools by both the Clinton campaign and Democrat attorneys,
00:02:36.260 while in close cooperation with the deep state to go after Donald Trump.
00:02:43.100 The next conclusion, quote,
00:02:46.040 The department did not adequately examine or question these materials and the motivations of those
00:02:52.620 providing them, even when at about the same time the director of the FBI and others learned of
00:03:00.780 significant and potentially contrary intelligence. End quote.
00:03:05.540 Translation. The top officials of the FBI knew that the agency was effectively framing the president of
00:03:14.420 the United States, but did absolutely nothing to stop the FBI investigators who were and are
00:03:21.620 allied with the Marxist Dems Party and the deep state.
00:03:25.460 So there you have it. Durham concludes that the DOJ and FBI don't need to change a thing,
00:03:32.340 and he declined to charge any agent, attorney, or official for the years-long efforts by the DOJ and
00:03:39.540 FBI to overthrow the president of the United States. At least the report exonerates President Trump,
00:03:47.620 once again officially exonerated for what too many people called a hoax when it was in reality
00:03:54.260 an effort to destroy the Trump presidency. Even CNN's Jake Tapper finally acknowledging that President
00:04:01.940 Trump has been exonerated and that the FBI acted out of corrupt political purpose.
00:04:08.500 Regardless, the report is now here, it has dropped, and it might not have produced everything of what
00:04:13.140 some Republicans hoped for. It is regardless devastating to the FBI, and to a degree it does exonerate Donald Trump.
00:04:21.220 The politically corrupt Biden regime turning up the hate over the weekend,
00:04:26.180 the puppet president giving the commencement speech at Howard University, where he was given an honorary
00:04:32.500 degree for his, quote, analytical intellect. My goodness, think about what that means.
00:04:40.180 Quote, analytical intellect. He got a degree, even honorary degree in that. Well, during his speech,
00:04:48.100 Biden addressed the most dangerous threat to our homeland, take a listen to President Biden's
00:04:54.660 pandering ignorance and the regime's talking point for the entire weekend.
00:05:00.420 Stand up against the poison of white supremacy, as I did my inaugural address to a single out
00:05:06.980 as the most dangerous terrorist threat to our homeland is white supremacy.
00:05:18.100 And I'm not saying this because I'm at a black HBCU. I say it wherever I go.
00:05:26.820 Does anyone truly doubt Biden's intent to tear this country apart? It's simply sickening.
00:05:32.580 Let's turn to the immediate and proximate threat created by the Biden regime,
00:05:37.220 the southern border they've turned over to the Mexican drug cartels.
00:05:40.980 Over the weekend, Customs and Border Patrol apprehended illegal immigrants, five of them,
00:05:47.140 that were on the FBI's terror list. You can expect more of these arrests, more crime,
00:05:52.740 sex trafficking, deadly drugs as the cartel's exports are headed to a city or town near you.
00:06:00.100 Marxist Governor Kathy Hochul of New York wants the U.S. military to help the state out, though,
00:06:05.800 not to stop the illegal immigrants, but rather to help perhaps build housing for the illegals.
00:06:12.120 Here is Governor Hochul.
00:06:14.120 Well, Reverend Al, hearing the numbers going down is good news, but it's small comfort to us because
00:06:19.880 the word we're getting is that the majority of these individuals who are crossing, and still high numbers,
00:06:25.240 are coming to New York State. And we already have over 61,000, over 40,000 houses in New York City.
00:06:33.480 They're bursting at the seams, and Mayor Adams is doing the very best he can in a difficult situation.
00:06:39.320 We have stepped in one billion dollars from the state budget I just enacted. We also are giving
00:06:45.000 legal help to people, and now we're in the position of trying to help find places for these individuals.
00:06:50.440 I asked the federal government to give us emergency funding. I'm asking for federal installations,
00:06:57.240 like military installations to help out. Let us have a large field and operations. We can put up
00:07:04.040 the tents. You're going to start seeing people living in tents, not just on the border, but in the
00:07:09.720 streets of New York and across New York State, because we've reached a breaking point.
00:07:15.160 Governor Hochul, New York's idea of a governor, a leader, as woeful as she sounds.
00:07:21.160 Illegal immigration, drugs, sex trafficking, all of it. Biden lined up with China and the drug cartels.
00:07:28.680 This isn't just border security, folks. It's national security. And to take up these issues
00:07:34.280 today, joining us is Tony Schaefer, former Army intel officer and host of The Hard Truth with Tony Schaefer,
00:07:41.560 and Gordon Chang, author, China expert and attorney and radio host. Welcome back to The Great America
00:07:48.280 Show. Great to have you with us. Thank you so much, Lou. And great to be with Tony.
00:07:53.960 And let's start with the border. And many people in this country don't think of the border as a
00:07:59.720 national security issue, a geopolitical issue. But I know both of you have strong and absolutely
00:08:08.120 necessary thoughts for this audience. If you would, let's begin with you, Gordon.
00:08:15.480 The most important thing from my perspective, because I look at this from what's going on with
00:08:20.280 regard to China, we know from that great war correspondent, Michael Yang, that he's seeing
00:08:26.680 more and more Chinese males of military age who are not attached to family groups. They're coming into
00:08:34.440 our country. And I think and Michael thinks that what's going on here is that these are the saboteurs,
00:08:42.200 Ministry of State Security, or Chinese military, that on the first day of a war with China in Asia,
00:08:48.840 these guys are going to be detonating bombs at our substations to take down our grid.
00:08:54.040 They're going to be poisoning our water, assassinating officials and police,
00:08:58.760 detonating bombs in shopping malls. This is the war coming to America's soil. Biden is allowing this
00:09:06.040 to occur because we're seeing surging numbers of Chinese come across the border. And Lou, most of
00:09:12.280 these are real refugees, people who are getting out of a country that is falling apart. But unfortunately,
00:09:19.000 there are, I believe, large numbers of saboteurs that are mixed in with the Chinese refugees.
00:09:25.480 Well, that is in and of itself alarming. And with the latest number I heard, and it was from Mark
00:09:33.480 Morgan, 171 countries. We have illegal immigrants coming to this country from 171 countries around
00:09:41.960 the world. Tony, your thoughts? So I'm in complete agreement with Gordon, and I appreciate Gordon,
00:09:50.360 his friendship and determination to continue to push the facts out, which are very inconvenient,
00:09:58.120 and something that people tend to want to forget or ignore. I tend to believe the Chinese intelligence
00:10:05.160 service has studied World War II. And one of the things that the Germans were trying to do, Lou,
00:10:11.400 and Admiral Canaris kind of pulled the punch, was the saboteurs that they dropped off in Florida and New York
00:10:17.960 were actually targeting infrastructure. They were going to go out and target dams,
00:10:24.440 electric substations to shut down our mills. Because during World War II, steel was the big thing,
00:10:29.720 and they were targeting that. Had they done that, had they been successful, that is the Germans,
00:10:35.160 in hitting those targets, it would have literally probably added years to the war because we could not
00:10:40.680 have been the juggernaut we were to stop them. So they have studied us. And to what Gordon is saying,
00:10:48.840 they recognize the vulnerability. And this vulnerability is across the board. And let me just
00:10:54.440 say this for your audience to understand. If the Chinese are willing to set up police substations all over the
00:11:01.160 nation to monitor their dissidents, do you really think they wouldn't do saboteurs all across the
00:11:08.680 nation, sleeper agents ready to go should something happen? And I mean, this is extensive. This is not
00:11:15.240 something that we can just say, oh, this will be a small thing. It won't be significant. It's going to be
00:11:21.640 significant by the fact we've allowed this to happen. The Southwest border issue, just let me hit that
00:11:27.000 really quick. Under President Trump, as you know, Lou, they had an effective team managing this. One
00:11:33.720 of my friends, colleagues who I worked with on this very issue is the Assistant Under Secretary of Defense
00:11:41.080 for Washington Hemisphere, Sergio de la Pena. He ran for governor a while back and Sergio and our dear
00:11:46.760 friends. Sergio helped come up with the remain in place strategy, which was very effective. These people
00:11:56.280 who were coming from Third Nations, as you stipulated, the Mexicans were actually intimidated
00:12:03.080 into doing their job of stopping the flow through Mexico. Remember, a lot of these folks are coming
00:12:09.800 through Mexico. Mexico is just a waypoint. And the fact is President Trump was able to convince Mexico
00:12:16.200 to do the right thing and that we were actually able to set up these things in a way that was effective,
00:12:21.400 that they had to stay there. None of that now exists. And again, this wave we're about to see
00:12:27.080 start today is going to be overwhelming, pervasive. And one other quick, the border is under control,
00:12:34.440 Lou. I know it's hard to believe, but the border is actually completely under control,
00:12:39.400 but not by us, by the cartels. The cartels on the other side limit and monitor everything. So the
00:12:46.360 Chinese coming through, the third countries coming through, they all know what's going on because we
00:12:51.480 no longer own the border, the cartels do. And it's a business proposition for them and they do it very
00:12:56.920 effectively. You know, to Tony's point, Gordon, he's talking about basically an analog presence,
00:13:05.400 a physical presence for the Chinese in particular in this country. It could as well be Iranians,
00:13:11.400 it could be Russians, it could be any number of people meaning to do us harm and talking about
00:13:18.920 all the many vulnerables that we have in this country to terrorism, to sabotage. The possibilities
00:13:27.800 are great. Good talking about the number of Chinese in this country, Chinese nationals in this country.
00:13:35.160 Uh, you, you look at those Confucius Institutes, you look at the 3,500, the, we knew 20 years ago,
00:13:43.480 there were 3,500 front companies for the PLA here in the United States. We haven't had a recent count
00:13:50.360 from the FBI, from the intelligence community at all, which is passing strange, I think as well.
00:13:55.960 What do you think of the level of infiltration on the part, and the prospects were a fifth column,
00:14:03.400 uh, brought to, uh, brought to us by courtesy of the CCP?
00:14:08.600 Well, every Chinese institution and every Chinese national is under a compulsion, um, to spy. That's
00:14:16.840 the 2017 national intelligence law, article seven and 14. But even more important, they're under a
00:14:24.120 compulsion to do whatever the communist party tells them, because in China's system, no company, no
00:14:30.440 institution, no individual can resist the demand from the party. So we have all of these institutions
00:14:37.720 and individuals in our country who, um, are at least under a compulsion or a potential compulsion
00:14:45.320 to commit acts of espionage or sabotage or whatever. China uses every point of contact with the United
00:14:52.680 States to try to take down our society. And there are many here, you know, uh, the FBI, they closed
00:14:59.400 one Chinese police station. You referred to police stations, but there are six more. There is one in
00:15:04.760 New York. I think there's one in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Houston. Um, and apparently, um,
00:15:11.560 there's one in Minnesota and the other in Nebraska and the FBI, nor has any other institution in the,
00:15:19.160 in the Biden administration thought it would be a good idea to close them. Right. So what we're
00:15:24.200 finding out, Lou, is that the Biden administration is not willing to protect us. We didn't find out
00:15:30.840 about these, uh, seven Chinese police stations, one closed, six open. We didn't learn from the FBI.
00:15:37.240 We didn't learn from anybody else in the Biden administration. We learned from a Spanish based
00:15:43.160 NGO safeguard defenders and the New York post. So that should tell you all that we need to know.
00:15:49.880 It's not just Chinese complete Chinese infiltration of our society. It's our government not protecting
00:15:56.040 us, choosing not to protect us. And across all fronts, uh, this Biden regime doing exactly that.
00:16:04.440 This is a, uh, it is a thunderous question, uh, that, uh, that I'm going to throw out here, but is
00:16:13.320 there in your judgment, Tony, any policy from any quarter of the Biden regime that is actually in the
00:16:22.440 interest of the United States? Um, to be thoughtful about it. Um, if you examine every aspect of the,
00:16:31.880 this administration from the top down, Lou, the economic policy is resulting in high inflation
00:16:38.840 and demunition of global prestige and, and, uh, ability to, to support us businesses
00:16:47.640 diplomatically were a joke. Tony Blinken, I'm sorry, is a complete and utter political moron.
00:16:54.760 I don't know how he goes about his job other than to, to simply essentially, uh, remove the United
00:17:03.800 States from any ability to leverage or be a critical partner in anything defense Lloyd Austin, uh, Mark
00:17:11.080 Milley. Uh, they are the, the perfect, uh, executors of, uh, the Biden policy for national security.
00:17:20.520 They, they are completely woke focused on issues, which have nothing to do with defense.
00:17:25.480 And then when you look at the border, you have, uh, my, my York is who is literally a clown.
00:17:33.160 And so there's, if you, if, when you have just the face of his policies being those,
00:17:39.240 that circus, there is not a single policy that's in the interest of the United States at this point
00:17:44.200 in time, not a one. We're talking with Tony Schaefer and Gordon Chang. Please stay with us.
00:17:49.240 We're coming right back. Much more straight ahead.
00:17:55.720 This is a warning, my fellow Americans. The news just broke and it's grim. The banking collapse of
00:18:01.640 2023 is now more devastating than the banking collapse of 2008. First Republic, PacWest, Silicon
00:18:09.720 Bank, just a few of the latest casualties in this banking crisis. And don't wait for the email reading,

00:19:14.120 We're talking with Tony Schaefer and Gordon Chang. Let me turn to you, Gordon. This is a time of
00:19:25.160 great trepidation on the part of most Americans, whether it's the economy, whether it is foreign
00:19:30.520 adversaries with preparing, it seems, to put a knife to our throats. This is to the point about
00:19:39.640 no protection from this administration. They are protecting, it seems, so many groups, identity
00:19:45.880 groups, the foreign leaders across the globe. But the American people don't seem to have much
00:19:53.000 protection. Students who desperately need that protection from their teachers and from the
00:19:57.800 teachers' unions, from those who are indoctrinating them in K through 12, in higher education.
00:20:05.160 I mean, working men and women in this country who are in competition with the cheapest labor in the
00:20:11.400 world. I mean, the list goes on. Why in the world wouldn't a foreign adversary, and we all know who at
00:20:19.880 least the top three are, why wouldn't a foreign adversary take advantage of this moment in history
00:20:25.240 to, to a point of fact, challenge us? They are taking advantage of us. And China and Russia are moving
00:20:34.360 very fast. When Xi Jinping was bidding farewell to Vladimir Putin in Moscow on the 22nd of March,
00:20:42.760 the Chinese leader said this, he said, quote, change is coming that hasn't happened in 100 years,
00:20:48.920 and we are driving this change together. Well, what Xi Jinping was saying was that the United States was
00:20:55.720 no longer a factor, and they're taking advantage of it. And you know, Lou, it's not just China and Russia
00:21:01.560 and their proxies moving against us. It's the Biden administration opening the door.
00:21:07.000 Just to give you one example, you know, you look at Brazil, and Brazil had that agreement with
00:21:14.120 China to use the real and the renminbi for trade between them. Well, how did that occur? It occurred
00:21:21.640 because Biden worked to undermine the current presidents in the election. I mean, I'm sorry,
00:21:29.000 to undermine Yar Balanzaro, who was the president of Brazil when Biden took office. Biden worked hard
00:21:37.480 to get Lula da Silva, the current president, elected. So Lula da Silva is a known leftist. We know what he
00:21:44.840 is, and because he's already been president of Brazil, and we've seen what he's done.
00:21:48.920 And so essentially, there would have been no agreement between Brazil and China over the use of their
00:21:55.560 local currencies and an attack on the dollar, were it not for Biden actively intervening in the
00:22:02.360 Brazilian presidential election last year. So we are opening the door to Chinese and Russian attacks on us.
00:22:09.480 And Tony, the Chinese military capabilities are seemingly overtaking the United States, whether
00:22:20.680 it's hypersonic missiles, whatever it may be. Their naval fleet is now larger than our own, as you well
00:22:27.560 know. I don't see any area in which it looks like the United States has responded militarily in terms of
00:22:37.240 building up either weaponry, equipment, aircraft, you name it.
00:22:43.880 So the last real effort to
00:22:48.280 be prepared to deal with the Chinese Liu was under the Trump administration again.
00:22:52.440 So one of the things that happened that they did actually recognize, that is, Mike Pompeo and
00:22:57.640 President Trump, is that there are certain classes of weapons the Chinese have been developing with
00:23:02.680 impunity, which would allow them to have a huge battlefield advantage, which is tactical nuclear
00:23:08.840 weapons. The Chinese, while they are not as sophisticated in many ways, they understand
00:23:15.560 what will give them the biggest bang for the buck. For example, the balloon, we could talk about the
00:23:18.840 balloon. The balloon actually gave them gave them significant access regarding persistent surveillance over
00:23:25.320 targets they don't have. They don't have a solid radar capability from orbit. And the balloon gave them
00:23:33.800 that. So there's certain shortcomings. They figure out a cheaper way to do it, and they do it effectively.
00:23:38.840 And that's what they've done here, too. So one of the things that the Trump administration did do,
00:23:43.160 Lou, to help re-establish the ability to have primacy, is actually take us out of the INF Treaty,
00:23:50.440 the Intermediate Forces, Nuclear Forces Treaty, that we'd signed up to with the Soviets. Well,
00:23:56.920 we were the only ones living up to that treaty by not having intermediate-range nuclear weapons.
00:24:01.800 The Russians had broke the treaty, were doing it, and the Chinese were, too. So rightfully,
00:24:06.440 we pull out of that. We have not done that across the board, Lou, where we need to look at and examine
00:24:11.160 every agreement that we follow and examine, does this benefit us or give us any disadvantage if we follow
00:24:18.040 it regarding China? Because our next big battle is going to be China, one way or another. I keep
00:24:25.240 hearing on the left, in the libertarian side, the Chinese are going, they're very peaceful. There's no
00:24:32.520 interest in going to war. It's like, that's simply not true. And Gordon can correct me on this if I'm wrong.
00:24:38.680 But as I recall, the Chinese Revolution was very bloody. The whole history of how the Communist
00:24:46.920 Party came to power, insinuated itself into the fabric of China was very violent. Mao was a very
00:24:53.640 violent man. Now, I would almost argue a sociopath who actually instilled his personality into the
00:24:59.000 current political party, and that's harsh to say. But I don't believe for a minute that the Chinese,
00:25:04.200 if push comes to shove, if they see an advantage, a tactical advantage over us militarily, that they
00:25:09.960 won't use that to continue to foster and to gain additional influence globally. I think they'll use
00:25:18.760 currency. I think they'll use bribery if it suits them, if they can get away with it. But ultimately, the
00:25:25.800 military force that they have and continue to expand would be used against us if they see it as necessary.
00:25:33.720 So. Well, the Chinese are certainly at the forefront of our potential enemies and current
00:25:42.520 adversaries. There's something in between right now because they're not actually firing shots,
00:25:48.440 at least of the traditional kind. They're undercutting us economically in terms of foreign
00:25:54.520 currency markets. I understand all of that, but at least we are not at full scale war. But there is
00:26:01.560 also a collision coming. It's very clear. And that's between India and China. Your thoughts on that,
00:26:08.040 Gordon? Well, China has its troops below the line of actual control, which is the de facto border in the
00:26:16.520 Himalayas. And on various occasions, China has engaged in fairly large scale surprise attacks on
00:26:24.520 India. The most famous was the one on the night of June 15, 2020 in Ladakh, where the Chinese killed
00:26:32.920 20 Indian troopers in a surprise attack. And China has pressured India across the board on that very long
00:26:43.080 border. So really what we're talking about is China's trying to break apart India. And China is very clear
00:26:49.880 about it. They say that, for instance, the Indian province of Arunachal Pradesh is actually China's.
00:26:58.920 And India, to its credit, is actually starting to talk about Tibet as an independent country. China
00:27:06.360 believes it rules Tibet. But the Indians, I think, have a much more robust attitude. Now, India does a lot of
00:27:13.160 things which we do not like. But part of the reason why they do that, Lou, is because Biden's catastrophic
00:27:21.800 withdrawal from Afghanistan delegitimized our friends in New Delhi because India was, like us, a supporter of the
00:27:29.640 Afghan government. And when we pulled out, India was one of the big losers of all of that. So our friends have been
00:27:38.040 decimated in New Delhi and India has moved closer to, for instance, Russia. So this is another one of those
00:27:46.520 unintended but really severe consequences to us because of the failure in Afghanistan.
00:27:53.240 Well, you know, a lot of people would ask, how is it that India can move as a counterweight
00:27:58.120 to China, move to Russia, which is the strategic partner of China? How can that assure them of
00:28:09.240 greater security against China? You're thinking on that?
00:28:13.880 Well, because India for decades has bought Russian equipment for its military. And India's military is
00:28:23.000 based around Russian equipment, whether we're talking about the Navy or we're talking about other
00:28:27.320 branches of the Indian service. So really what we've got is that historical relationship, which,
00:28:34.040 by the way, under the Trump administration, we were breaking. We were breaking with a number of
00:28:39.480 military information sharing agreements, which thankfully the Biden administration has continued.
00:28:45.000 But it's been a long struggle, especially because, as I mentioned, on balance,
00:28:51.160 Biden has pushed India even further into the embrace of Moscow.
00:28:55.880 Which could be, as well, a strategic alliance that results with the three of the largest,
00:29:03.960 two of the largest countries, along with Russia in an alliance. That would be disastrous to
00:29:12.360 contemplate, I believe, would be a fair statement. Tony, we're going to come back to you in just one
00:29:17.240 second. We're going to take up national security. It's a subject that the administration doesn't like
00:29:23.880 to talk, but we will with Tony Schaefer and Gordon Chang as we continue here. We'll be right back after these
00:29:30.520 quick words. We're back now talking with Tony Schaefer and Gordon Chang. Tony, I want to turn to the issue
00:29:42.120 of national security because it doesn't seem to me that the numbers of threats to this country are
00:29:48.760 diminishing in any way or even being mitigated. They are rising by, it seems, the weak. Your thoughts?
00:29:57.240 So any given republic, such as ours, can't do everything all the time. We have to
00:30:03.320 prioritize the challenges that we believe are most necessary for us to provide planning,
00:30:13.640 provide military resources, and essentially a political will to address. We're lacking that right
00:30:21.880 now. There's no focus. All the focus right now, Lou, is internal. And part of the reason that we're
00:30:31.240 seeing such a chaotic national security picture is because, as I mentioned earlier in our discussion,
00:30:39.560 if you just look at the faces of the policies, those individuals are selected not because of their
00:30:45.720 competence, not because of their brilliance, but because of political reliability. Let's just look
00:30:52.120 at Jake Sullivan for a minute. Soy boy extraordinaire. He was selected to be the national security advisor,
00:30:58.920 not because he is a master diplomat, statesman, military member, spy, none of that. He is a bureaucrat who's
00:31:07.960 loyal first and foremost to the Democrat Party. Everything else is secondary. When you have that
00:31:14.120 focus, Lou, when you don't have the ability to focus on what's real, when you basically have a,
00:31:21.480 you're constantly creating narratives which you provide for purposes of trying to convince people
00:31:27.640 of your factual, the fallacies of your factual positions, you end up ignoring those things which
00:31:35.400 should be tended to. So there is no ability right now by this administration to focus on anything real
00:31:42.040 because of the people they've put in charge live in a fantasy land. And the American people are
00:31:48.120 suffering the consequences from this level of purposeful neglect of the necessary elements,
00:31:57.080 levers of government that should be protecting them. I want to bring this back to where we began.
00:32:02.280 And that is with the surge at the border, the numbers of illegal immigrants coming into this country
00:32:11.880 at the invitation of the Biden administration and with a wide open border. I believe without any
00:32:19.160 hesitation or doubt that this administration has made a decision to align itself purposely
00:32:27.240 with the cartels and with communist China. I believe that this president is not only impaired,
00:32:34.840 but he is so compromised with the Chinese. And I believe that the House investigations are
00:32:39.880 demonstrating that day after day, the level of compromise by this administration, this president,
00:32:47.400 with particularly China. China is making inroads across this hemisphere. And I'd like to talk about that in
00:32:54.920 connection to this mass illegal immigration that's being encouraged by this administration into the
00:33:01.160 United States. It's strategic, it's national security purpose and effect, as well as what is happening
00:33:08.120 in Central America, whether it be Panama, whether it be Guatemala, Honduras, whether it be Venezuela, or
00:33:16.680 or most recently, to the four, Brazil. Gordon?
00:33:21.560 Well, we have seen across our border, I've talked about the saboteurs, but also the other issue is
00:33:29.480 fentanyl. We know that the Chinese gangs sell fentanyl to the two cartels, which mix it, and then they send
00:33:38.600 it across our border in record quantities. And when we have the numbers for last year, we're going to
00:33:45.480 find that at least 80,000 Americans died from doses of illegal Chinese fentanyl. Now, the administration,
00:33:53.160 they'll talk about fentanyl, but they'll never put the words fentanyl and China in the same sentence.
00:33:58.760 And you can't deal with fentanyl unless you deal with China. Now, China runs a near total surveillance
00:34:06.920 state, which means it knows exactly what these large, well-organized fentanyl gangs are doing.
00:34:12.360 But it's even worse than that, Lou, because we have Chinese diplomats give support to the fentanyl
00:34:18.120 gangs. And also the gangs launder their proceeds through the Chinese state banking system. So the
00:34:24.760 Communist Party is full on board with fentanyl. And that means we should consider every American
00:34:31.160 death from illegal Chinese fentanyl to be a murder, a murder by the Communist Party of China.
00:34:36.840 And we should act accordingly. So we're allowing China to kill Americans. And we're not even
00:34:42.280 talking about that in Washington. So there needs to be when we think about the border,
00:34:47.400 there are a lot of different issues about it. But when you look at China,
00:34:51.960 we also got to consider that Americans are now dying.
00:34:55.800 Absolutely. And by the way, and a million Americans who died in COVID, then the COVID pandemic,
00:35:07.160 there is still retribution to be had for that, in my opinion, and the culpability of the Chinese
00:35:13.960 who quite, quite clearly originated the virus. And you can make of it what you will. When I use the word
00:35:21.720 originated, whether that includes engineered, whether it means it was an accident, I believe
00:35:27.320 it was engineered. But let's turn, Tony Schaefer, I want to just turn to you, if I may, to talk about
00:35:33.960 what is the, what is the national security implications of the inroads that China is making
00:35:39.720 in this hemisphere, in the countries I named. Your thoughts about that, and just how far we're going
00:35:47.160 to permit under this administration, at least, the Chinese to encroach upon this hemisphere.
00:35:53.800 So they've done a great job, as Gordon pointed out, to create all sorts of businesses. They have
00:36:01.080 through Panama, Brazil, they are expanding expeditionally. But always remember Gordon,
00:36:06.440 what Gordon said was, Lou, those businesses all kowtow to Beijing. They are essentially extensions
00:36:13.800 of the Communist Party, no matter how they portray themselves. Everything from top technology companies
00:36:20.200 down to some Chinese restaurants. And I'm not joking, it goes up and down that scale. And they've been
00:36:27.240 using soft power very effectively. And to that point, fentanyl is a weapon of mass destruction.
00:36:34.280 But the other destructive force that we're ignoring is, I'm going to say this,
00:36:38.760 and I may get in trouble, green energy. We are giving huge advantage to Chinese and their companies
00:36:46.680 through our, our insane embrace of renewable energies. And I've got a degree in environmental
00:36:54.040 studies. We, there is no manmade global climate crisis. I know this hurts the feelings of my friends
00:37:01.160 on the left. But climate change has been with us since the earth's surface cooled from its molten
00:37:06.520 state about 3.2 billion years ago. And it'll go on long after we leave. But Lou, we are giving huge
00:37:15.000 advantage to the Chinese and their businesses because of lithium, cobalt, all the rare earth minerals,
00:37:22.040 which are necessary. We are literally pouring money uselessly down the drain and giving it to the Chinese
00:37:28.280 to give them further advantage. That is a national security issue, which no one seems to be paying
00:37:32.920 attention to. But if you combine that with fentanyl, you combine that with military aggression,
00:37:37.880 you combine that with their, I think, very apt use of social media to tick tock is an issue that needs
00:37:45.720 to be addressed. They're being effective and undermining every aspect of our nation across the board.
00:37:51.000 Thank you, Tony. And thank you, Gordon, for being with us here today. I just like a very quick
00:37:59.800 concluding thoughts from each of you. We always give our guests the last word.
00:38:04.040 Gordon, if you will lead us off. Our country is under unprecedented
00:38:08.760 attack from China and its friends around the world. And, you know, we can always say, well,
00:38:15.560 China always has been assaulting us. But now the difference is we have an administration in Washington
00:38:22.040 that is for one reason or another not defending our interests. They're not defending our interests abroad
00:38:29.080 where we have America last policies and they're not defending our interests in the United States
00:38:34.840 and at our southern border. And, Lou, we're not going to survive this unless we have a president
00:38:40.520 who believes that it's important to defend the United States of America because this is a critical
00:38:47.480 moment in our history. And Tony, we have a Manchurian candidate in office. Joe Biden is completely
00:38:56.200 compromised to the Chinese. I think we're going to come to find that the wrongdoing of Spiro Agnew was
00:39:02.280 literally a child's play compared to what we're going to come to find with Biden. And this is not new.
00:39:07.000 As you know, Lou, Joe Biden's nickname in the Senate was quid pro quo Joe. So I don't think anybody
00:39:13.240 should be surprised here what we're finding. But what to Gordon's point, we have to find a
00:39:20.280 a path political path forward that removes someone who is compromised to the very challenger who would
00:39:28.040 do whatever they can to upend our economy, our society. And I'm not a neocon, Lou, but we need to
00:39:39.000 actually defend our interests and the equities of our people. And if we don't, if we don't do it now,
00:39:44.520 we're going to come to regret it in about 20 years.
00:39:46.440 Tony, thank you very much. Gordon, thank you. Tony Schaefer and Gordon Chang, we thank you both for
00:39:52.920 being with us. We appreciate your insights, your thoughts, and thanks for sharing your knowledge
00:39:57.560 and perspective with us today. That's all for us today. Our guest tomorrow will be former federal
00:40:03.160 prosecutor Bud Cummins. Why didn't the FBI want to know about the Biden's corruption in the Ukraine
00:40:09.800 five years ago? And what's happening to missing witnesses against the Bidens? Former U.S. attorney
00:40:16.600 Bud Cummins, our guest tomorrow, please be with us right here on The Great America Show.
00:40:22.120 Until then, God bless you, and may God bless America.
