00:00:33.600Hello, everybody. Welcome to The Great America Show. Great to have you with us.
00:00:38.380Electoral integrity will be at the forefront of the 2024 election.
00:00:43.800And with less than five months to go, voters are rightly concerned.
00:00:48.560A new poll out from Rasmussen shows 66% of likely U.S. voters are concerned that the outcome of the 2024 election will be affected by cheating.
00:00:59.560That includes 40% who are very concerned.
00:01:03.740Also in that poll, 44% of voters say it's likely that many electronic voting machines are connected to the Internet.
00:01:12.100This poll comes at a highly peculiar time.
00:01:14.780Puerto Rico's Elections Commission this week said it's reviewing its contract with Dominion voting machines.
00:01:22.720That review comes after hundreds of discrepancies were discovered following the island's heated primaries earlier this month.
00:01:31.060Marxist AG Merrick Garland may be the most protected man in America after Joe Biden.
00:01:36.780An internal DOJ memo arguing Garland should be protected from prosecution for contempt of Congress.
00:01:45.560So Steve Bannon, Peter Navarro, and the rest who defy sham subpoenas by illegitimate committees,
00:01:52.080well, they're just, their fate's in the wind.
00:03:39.560But more recently, Merrick Garland, the attorney general, could do something about this.
00:03:44.500There's a Department of Justice guidance that says that that in these particular cases, lawyers should not be taking fees more than 25 percent.
00:03:55.960But Merrick Garland has done nothing about it.
00:03:58.620And the reason is, when you look at some of the law firms that are taking in the largest fees and making the largest amounts of money on this,
00:04:05.920these were the actual lawyers who were pushing for him to be appointed attorney general and also pushed for him to be put on the Supreme Court back in 2016.
00:04:16.100So it is absolutely backscratching taking place between these trial attorneys and Merrick Garland.
00:04:22.080And the victims, of course, are the men and women who serve their country and our family who are stationed at Camp Lejeune,
00:04:29.260who are trying to get assemblies of justice.
00:04:31.140And it's basically being taken away by these trial attorneys and their law firms.
00:04:35.900Is there anything that you think will likely be done about this?
00:04:45.040Well, certainly Congress can revisit this and pass legislation capping fees at 25 percent.
00:04:51.900The second thing we're calling on is for the congressional committees, including House Oversight and the Senate Committee of Investigations.
00:04:59.900I understand Republicans are in the minority, but to call for subpoenas to DOJ to find out how this situation happened,
00:05:08.480who jerry-rigged it at DOJ and who did Merrick Garland meet with and when did he meet with them?
00:05:14.660In terms of these law firms or others, they're involved in this legal heist that's taking place for these people that were victimized at Camp Lejeune.
00:05:24.180Well, it's been a busy time for Merrick Garland and the Department of Justice.
00:05:29.180They've declared that he is in point of fact above the law and cannot be held in contempt by the United States Congress.
00:05:36.500They have also held that none of the prosecutors, whether federal or local, whether it's Alvin Bragg or Fannie Willis,
00:05:48.120and the special counsels have been working together, conspiring to go after and prosecute and persecute Donald Trump.
00:05:57.500So they've wiped the slate clean here over the last two weeks.
00:06:03.040Where in the world do you go in the Justice Department to find somebody who makes sense?
00:06:09.880Yeah, it's very, very hard to find, Lou.
00:06:37.120It's really, I think, up to Jim Jordan, the people on the Judiciary Committee.
00:06:41.060That's, of course, where funding for the Department of Justice is approved to step up, because what you have is really a test of the branches of government.
00:06:52.880None of the three branches are supreme.
00:06:55.340The judicial branch is not supreme to the executor or the legislative.
00:07:01.280And if Congress is trying to exercise legitimate oversight, which they are, they have a right to ask these things from the Department of Justice.
00:07:10.140The only reason the Department of Justice is not sharing this information, whether these are the Joe Biden tapes of his interview with the special prosecutor or whether it's correspondence related to their discussions, potentially with Alvin Bragg or with Fannie Willis.
00:07:26.480The only reason they're not turning it over is not because it's going to violate anybody's rights.
00:07:32.420It's because it's potentially deeply embarrassing.
00:07:35.820So they are engaging in a political exercise and they shouldn't be doing that.
00:07:40.860And Congress has to call them out for it.
00:07:43.400I am one, Lou, that lots of times has called for congressional investigations.
00:07:49.320But when push comes to shove, sometimes you need to use the power of the purse and go further and say, guess what?
00:07:56.260We are not going to fund this department until you share this information that we have legitimately requested from you.
00:08:03.480What do you suppose Speaker Johnson has refused to do so?
00:08:08.260He's he's he's been a disappointment in many ways, but he had every opportunity to use the power of the purse to constrict that those budgets are to eliminate them in point of fact.
00:08:22.080Yeah, I mean, look, I think that, you know, he is trying to walk this tightrope.
00:08:27.160Obviously, he saw what happened to McCarthy and he's trying to balance a lot of things.
00:08:33.140But, yeah, at the bottom line, when you have power, you have to use that power when it's necessary to accomplish legitimate goals and purposes.
00:09:16.860It's also up to these committee chairs to do the right thing and use the power of the purse.
00:09:23.300That's the next phase, because otherwise, this is only going to embolden them to continue to defy Congress on other legitimate requests that they've made.
00:09:33.320So I think you've got to shoot a cannon across their bow and you need to correct this because these are absolutely legitimate requests.
00:10:03.920We saw what happened in 2020 when we found ourselves dependent on global supply chains.
00:10:08.760We're still dependent on China and other countries for more than 90 percent of all our pharmaceuticals.
00:10:14.120With clusters of respiratory illnesses popping up around the world and here, we need to be prepared.
00:10:20.380And now is the time to make certain you have what your family needs when the next crisis hits.
00:10:26.020Our good friends, Dr. Peter McCullough and Dr. Drew Penske over at the Wellness Company have put together just what you and I need with the Wellness Company's medical emergency kit.
00:10:35.720And now the Wellness Company's medical kit provides a solution critical to you and your loved ones.
00:10:41.160This emergency kit includes eight life-saving medications including amoxicillin, Z-Pak and ivermectin for you to keep on hand along with a guidebook for safe use.
00:10:51.780From tick bites to biochemical events, every medical scenario is covered.
00:11:23.320We're back with Peter Swiser and it's to me, it's interesting right now that the White House is playing games with the distinction between a pardon and commutation when it comes to Hunter Biden and his his father.
00:11:41.660Yeah, certainly they're playing word games, Lou.
00:11:45.820But I would also add, I mean, everybody seems to be accepting Joe Biden's word when he issued this statement that he's not going to pardon Hunter Biden.
00:11:57.360He has lied repeatedly when it comes to his son, Hunter Biden.
00:12:01.560Let's remember, I mean, he told the American people Hunter had not received the dime from China when, in fact, he had received millions from China.
00:12:09.760He said that he had had no contact with Hunter Biden's business associates that ended up being a lie.
00:12:17.660He was on the phone with them, et cetera.
00:12:19.620He said that he personally had not profited from any of these deals.
00:12:24.140We now know, of course, from the House Oversight Committee that he received hundreds of thousands of dollars.
00:12:29.060So I don't take it face value that he's not going to pardon Hunter Biden.
00:12:33.020I think after the November election, whether he wins or loses, I would not be surprised if he decides in the name of, you know, fatherly or paternal love that he's going to pardon Hunter Biden.
00:12:46.740I think that's absolutely something that we should expect him to do.
00:12:50.360And again, you know, the Democrats have said repeatedly, you know, Trump does not accept the, you know, the edicts of the judicial system on these sort of trumped up charges that have been brought against him.
00:13:05.760What the Biden campaign has done is sort of passively, aggressively say that they accept what the court has done.
00:13:14.180But clearly there are murmurings that they don't accept it, that, you know, reports from Politico that Joe Biden thinks Hunter Biden is a victim here.
00:14:31.540They do. And look, they don't get called out on it anymore.
00:14:35.960I actually saw an old video clip online from I think it was ABC News calling out Joe Biden, then Senator Joe Biden, during the 88 presidential campaign, calling him out for his repeated lies.
00:14:49.580And it was a brutal, hard hitting investigative report by ABC News.
00:14:54.500Well, where is that kind of reporting now?
00:14:57.820I mean, the lies haven't stopped. In a sense, the lies are worse.
00:15:02.120The lies that we associate with Joe Biden in his past relate to, you know, padding his resume, claims about law school and, you know, his great academic successes, which weren't actually there.
00:15:13.820What he's now lying about is these massive conflicts of interest, these massive efforts of influence peddling and the flow of tens of millions of dollars to his family.
00:15:24.800And yet the media doesn't call him out on it.
00:15:29.120When I look at the shaky state of the American republic, certainly you look at what's going on in government.
00:15:35.660But the biggest concern is we don't have a mainstream media that will do anything other than report on scandals faked and imagined on one side and ignore real scandals on the other side.
00:15:50.820And if you don't, if that's the media that you have, that is the bulk of the mainstream media that most people listen to, you do not have an independent watchdog on our government officials anymore.
00:16:02.920And when you don't have that, they are going to push the envelope of what they can get away with.
00:16:07.920And that is certainly what Joe Biden is doing.
00:16:10.940Joe Biden, the entire I mean, they're no longer simply a crime family.
00:16:23.520Not all of it, but at least what we know has been documented.
00:16:28.120It's it is really ugly to watch this and to see the acceptance, as you point out, in the in the national corporate media.
00:16:36.980And the only thing that one can imagine is their corporate masters of those news organizations are laying out the agenda.
00:16:45.500And it's not an agenda that is in any way pro-America, pro-Americans, pro-American family.
00:16:53.920It's it's just disgraceful what we're witnessing is and and the watchdogs who seem to be, with your notable exception, absolutely, absolutely silent.
00:17:28.000I saw a survey done by a legitimate pollster that faith in the mainstream media is actually lower than Congress.
00:17:35.420I mean, you know, Congress is like at 18, 19 percent and that's left, right and center.
00:17:41.440So by doing this, by kind of carrying water for certain political figures or for the political establishment, these news outlets are totally trashing their brands.
00:17:53.440I guess they don't seem to mind it because they keep doing it, but they are bearing a price for it.
00:17:58.480And I do think the rise of independent media, again, left, right and center.
00:18:03.640I mean, there are some left wing news websites out there that I don't agree with everything they do, but they also actually do some good reporting that you're not going to see in the mainstream media.
00:18:13.620So that's where the future of media is.
00:18:15.840If we can get past the issue of a big tech censoring of these independent news outlets, which, of course, is a big challenge.
00:18:23.100There is a future and there are alternative sources of information out there as these mainstream media outlets continue to see a decline in their ratings and in their reputations.
00:18:34.940It's truly a crisis, cord cutting, streaming, all of these pressures.
00:18:41.260And then the political, socio-political influences right now, as you say, depressing their ratings and their circulation as well.
00:18:51.400Well, we're talking with Peter Schweizer and we are coming right back.
00:18:56.000Stay with us and we'll find out what what is next in this great country, because we haven't checked in.
00:19:03.620At least we don't know that we've checked in with the Chinese yet.
00:19:07.720And we do know where the president gets many of his ideas.
00:19:14.240The Wellness Company and their doctors are medical professionals you can trust.
00:19:17.880And their new medical emergency kits are the gold standard when it comes to keeping you safe and healthy.
00:19:22.420This medical emergency kit contains an assortment of life-saving medications, including ivermectin, Z-Pak.
00:19:28.300Rest assured, knowing that you have emergency antibiotics, antivirals, and antiparasitics on hand to help you and your family stay safe from whatever life throws at you next.
00:19:37.960We're back talking with Peter Schweizer.
00:19:49.380And, Peter, it seems to me that the corporate America right now is in a dramatic shift.
00:19:57.440We're the president of the United States meeting with some of the top CEOs in banking, in business, and they are coming to him.
00:20:07.480And I think that's an important symbol.
00:20:10.180I don't know if it's a contrived symbol on their part, a strategic decision, so that they won't be accused of impressing him too much.
00:20:20.100But we're really seeing a change on the part of a lot of corporate America here, aren't we, in regard to the upcoming likely Trump presidency?
00:20:31.020Yeah, I think that corporate America is trying to hedge their bets.
00:20:36.300And as always, you know, there are very few profiles in courage among these corporate executives.
00:20:42.560I mean, they're worried about the relationship with China, not in the way that you and I and the majority of the American people are.
00:20:49.000They're worried about it disrupting these intricate relationships that they have established that are part of their corporate profit network.
00:20:58.540You know, look at what Larry Fink, you know, head of BlackRock, said in 2011, where he candidly announced in an interview what many other CEOs would not quite so publicly say when he literally said he actually prefers to do business with, in his words, totalitarian regimes because they're more predictable.
00:21:19.980That goes for most of corporate America, whether it's certainly Wall Street, the financial sector or big tech.
00:21:27.020They want to maintain a stable relationship with China and they don't really worry about the cost of that stability, whether it's rising China, whether it's a threat to our civil liberties, whether it's a threat to our national security.
00:21:40.480They ultimately place less emphasis on that and they're more focused on maintaining stable relationships because it's good for their quarterly profits.
00:21:50.400But the American people have shifted on China.
00:21:53.440The latest polling shows that that, you know, the vast majority of them see China not as a friendly rival, but actually as an enemy, as in a threat to the United States.
00:22:04.000So corporate America is going to have to pick and choose where they are going forward.
00:22:09.920I understand they've got to straddle certain relationships.
00:22:12.920They may have to reorient supply lines, supply chains.
00:22:16.840But the American people are shifting on many of these issues, many of these important issues.
00:22:22.600And if corporate America doesn't get on board, they're going to get left behind.
00:22:26.340And I think that the American people's patience, you know, for elites in the financial sector who are sort of jettisoning the interests of the American people for their own personal benefit, patience is waning.
00:22:41.900And I think Americans are really waking up on this issue.
00:22:45.480And corporate America is trying to figure out how to straddle these new realities.
00:22:51.100And there are some building conflicts, whether it be China's direct threats to Taiwan, of course, and their insistence on dominion over the South China Sea.
00:23:03.340But we also, and I don't know if you imagined this when you wrote Blood Money, but suddenly the head of the Select Committee on the CCP, Mike Gallagher, Congressman Gallagher,
00:23:15.700the first major move was for him to retire from Congress.
00:23:21.800It's astounding to see what's happening.
00:23:25.060Next, the big strategic partner, of course, with China.
00:23:30.080Russia now has four warships in the Caribbean at one point, 30 miles off the U.S. coast.
00:23:36.520I think that a lot of people in corporate America are going to have a lot of trouble getting realigned, given the rising aggression of their expansionary aims.
00:23:52.780Yeah, no, I think you're exactly right, Lou.
00:24:34.000For some of these big investment funds, a third or more of their profits are actually coming from mainland China.
00:24:41.240That's where their biggest growth is coming from.
00:24:43.700So it's a lot harder for them to talk about the Chinese threat because they are so conflicted.
00:24:50.760You know, who becomes president in November and is inaugurated in January is going to make a huge difference on this issue.
00:24:59.120We saw what President Trump's posture was towards China, especially when the administration was really sort of set in place, which was really challenging China, calling out China on on many of the threats that they posed.
00:25:13.980You know, Trump was the first president to call out China on their involvement with the fentanyl trade.
00:25:19.640And of course, President Xi made promises to Trump, which he never kept.
00:25:24.100But Joe Biden has been silent on fentanyl.
00:25:29.180So a lot is at stake in this 2024 election, not just as it relates to the lives of individual Americans, as it relates to taxes and civil liberties, but our very national security, how we deal with China.
00:25:44.280There is a stark contrast between Biden's soft posture, essentially giving China what they want and what Donald Trump says he's going to do in his second term.
00:25:56.800We we appreciate you being with us here today, Peter.
