The Great America Show - DEMS' JAN 6 PROBE WOULD MAKE STALIN PROUD

00:00:00.000 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Great America podcast with Lou Dobbs,

00:00:04.200 always in the fight for truth, justice, and yes, our American way of life.

00:00:09.240 And now here he is, the Peabody award-winning voice of truth, the great Lou Dobbs.

00:00:14.360 Hello, everybody, and welcome to the Great America show. And today,

00:00:18.340 we're examining the January 6th committee and its successor failures and investigating what

00:00:24.800 happened and why in the Capitol on January 6th. The committee at its formation, back in June of

00:00:32.320 last year, was, well, it was clearly created as a political weapon by the House Speaker, Nancy

00:00:38.640 Pelosi. Not only did she choose the members, seven Democrats and two Republicans, she pushed away the

00:00:46.140 Republicans that Kevin McCarthy, the minority leader, wanted to be on the committee if there

00:00:50.920 was to be a committee. And this will not surprise anyone. The two Republicans that she did put on

00:00:56.960 the committee are rhinos, who are at war with the Republican Party, and both of whom hate former 0.97

00:01:03.360 President Donald Trump and his America First policies. Congressman Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger

00:01:10.380 are highly objectionable personalities at their best. But in that regard, they do match up well with

00:01:16.880 their Democrat colleagues on the committee. Public hearings are expected to begin, we're told

00:01:22.520 reliably, in late March. And those hearings promise to be, of course, explosive, if not revelatory,

00:01:30.220 hyper-partisan, and a plain, awful reprise of two baseless impeachment efforts to overthrow then-President

00:01:37.780 Donald Trump. A lot going on here that will surely be just another burden and aggravation for

00:01:44.420 President Trump. One more radical Dem attempt to drive him from the public arena. And yes, all of this

00:01:53.260 is further confirmation that the radical Dems have nothing to talk about without the former president to

00:02:00.060 attack. To help us all understand what this committee is doing, what it's up to, best-selling author of the

00:02:06.340 book, The Plot Against the President, which was made into a terrific documentary as well, by the same title,

00:02:12.060 which we highly recommend to you. Lee Smith is also a former journalist, staff member of the House

00:02:18.080 Intelligence Committee, a great American. Lee, welcome, and great to have you with us. I'd like

00:02:23.800 to start, if I may, with the expression, here we go again. Another radical Dem effort, an investigation

00:02:31.080 of President Trump. They keep at it. They've been at it since before he was elected. And now, after he's

00:02:38.880 left the White House, more than a year later, they're still at it. How do they get away with it?

00:02:44.900 Yeah, the press is how. That's all they have, right? And that, well, I mean, they also have,

00:02:51.280 unfortunately, America's intelligence services. But the main component is the press. And we'll thank

00:02:57.940 you, first of all, for the very kind introduction, Lee, and for inviting me on today. And yeah, the way

00:03:02.440 that I see January 6th is a reprise or a different leg of what started with the plot against the

00:03:11.120 President, Russiagate. I mean, we have the same elements. There's the press. There are clearly

00:03:17.080 intelligence services, domestic services were part of January 6th. And of course, Democratic Party

00:03:27.880 officials and operatives. And it's not surprising to see Adam Schiff, the now chairman of the House

00:03:34.760 Intelligence Committee, in the middle of it once again. First, if they went after Donald Trump and

00:03:40.820 his key aides like Michael Flynn and campaign volunteers like Carter Page, I mean, what they're

00:03:47.100 doing now is they've expanded their targets. So they're not only going after Donald Trump,

00:03:53.740 going after some of the some of the Republicans who have been loyal to him. We're also targeting

00:03:59.060 Trump supporters. I mean, this is this is this is something else to turn the intelligence services

00:04:06.220 against regular ordinary Americans for exercising their First Amendment rights. Shocking.

00:04:12.980 You just you're making me very nervous because, you know, I did vote for President Trump.

00:04:17.760 Yeah, I don't I don't want I don't want those intelligence services, the deep state,

00:04:21.580 the radical dims to know that, of course. Yeah. But yeah, they'd never figure that out.

00:04:27.360 It's it's it's really stunning to watch this, the farce that they create. And any rational person,

00:04:34.380 you have to laugh at them because of what they do. And then the next thing you're looking at them

00:04:41.400 proceeding with impeachments that are baseless, fraudulent and fail each time that are on their face.

00:04:51.240 farce. And still they persist, because as you say, the national corporate media and I emphasize

00:04:57.900 the corporate media. Right. Is supporting every move they make without as far as I can think right

00:05:05.940 now, without exception. Absolutely. I mean, and that's why I describe now what we grew up with as

00:05:13.980 the press no longer exists. It's not simply a matter of partisanship. What these outfits are,

00:05:21.460 they are platforms for information operations targeting the American middle class, targeting,

00:05:27.820 targeting, targeting, targeting Americans who have stood up on behalf of the American voter,

00:05:34.580 whether that's Donald Trump, whether it's whether it's now retired Congressman Devin Nunes,

00:05:40.940 whether it's Michael Flynn, you know, whether it's whether it's the different people who got out

00:05:45.800 there and posted protested on January 6th. So, yeah, it's it's it's it's absolutely disgraceful,

00:05:52.260 because, of course, that that's that's one of the fundamental things that reporters should be doing.

00:05:57.620 Right. It's not all about scoops. It's not all about amazing sources. It's about representing

00:06:04.320 the common sense and the decency of the American people and to understand and to describe when

00:06:11.720 something is nonsense, like describing January 6th as an insurrection is nonsense. Describing Donald

00:06:18.020 Trump as a Russian spy is absolute nonsense. We find none of that from the press now, not necessarily

00:06:23.620 because they've got stupider over the last three decades. So that's certainly a part of it. But 0.89

00:06:28.500 because, again, it's a platform for information operations. That's all we're seeing from this

00:06:33.540 corporate press. And why is it, in your judgment, that the corporate owners, the oligarchs,

00:06:42.980 are pushing their media outlets into this political alignment with the radical Dems, with Marxists,

00:06:51.860 whether it's critical race theory, whatever it may be, ESG. These are radical concepts. They are left

00:07:02.180 wing. And suddenly corporate America is aligned not only domestically with them, but in terms of

00:07:07.700 foreign policy. They're more aligned with Xi Jinping as they as they call for more investment by

00:07:16.100 American investors. And I'm talking about retail investors, individual investors to move their money

00:07:21.540 to buy the stocks of Chinese companies that are aligned in many cases directly and closely with

00:07:29.700 the Chinese Communist Party. Oh, absolutely. I mean, I mean, the Democrats, right? Look, there are

00:07:35.860 problems on there are some problems with Republicans regarding China. But right now, I mean, the Democratic Party

00:07:43.700 is a pro-China faction, right? And this comes from their money, right? We're looking right now at some

00:07:51.780 possible economic problems in China, which I know you know a lot more about that than I do. But insofar as

00:08:00.180 Democratic Party money comes from Wall Street, it comes from big tech, and it comes from Hollywood. These are

00:08:05.940 high profile sources of money. All of these are dependent on good relations with China. That's why

00:08:13.780 I call the Democrats the pro-China faction right now in the United States. So there's lots of different

00:08:20.980 reasons. I argue that one of the reasons that the oligarchy turned on Donald Trump and sicced their

00:08:29.300 dogs stick the media on Donald Trump has precisely to do with China. Trump is the one president we've

00:08:36.420 had since Kissinger and Nixon's 1972 opening with China. He's the one president who described China

00:08:44.660 not merely as a challenge or a competitor, but as a threat to vital U.S. national security interests.

00:08:51.940 And that's one reason they went after him. And if anyone doubts that, look at what the

00:08:59.060 President Xi Jinping, how he reacted when President Trump put those tariffs on Chinese exports to the

00:09:07.060 United States, insisting on balanced trade. And President Trump was talking about balanced trade,

00:09:12.660 but for the world, not for just China. And when he said, you know, we're not going to be putting up

00:09:21.140 with this stuff in the South China Sea. You can build up all the artificial islands you want. You

00:09:25.860 can do what you want. But our ships will be absolutely steaming through the South China Sea

00:09:32.900 where we wish, when we wish, because it's a matter of world interest, not just U.S. interest to keep

00:09:38.820 those those lanes, those sea lanes open to traffic. Right. That's been one of the roles,

00:09:48.420 that's been one of the extremely positive roles the U.S. has played in the post-World War II,

00:09:55.060 post-World War II era in the Persian Gulf, as well as South China Sea. I mean, this is very,

00:10:00.100 very important. And right. Donald Trump was not just doing it for the United States. It was about,

00:10:05.620 we have all of these globalists talking about different things. Well, this was for world security,

00:10:10.900 right? This was for, this was for the, you know, this was for the trade and transportation of goods

00:10:19.060 across these vitally strategic waterways. But you talk about the press. And so let's look at,

00:10:24.260 let's look at, let's look at some of the press and how their interests are staked to the Chinese

00:10:30.340 Communist Party. Right. I mean, the owner of the Washington Post, right, he is the Chinese Communist 0.91

00:10:37.620 Party's number one U.S. distributor. Right. If we look at publications like the Atlantic and all

00:10:44.180 these people who have, who have a hand in big tech or their money comes from big tech and their money

00:10:49.620 continues to come from big tech. So again, I think this is one reason why we're seeing the press go

00:10:56.740 after not just Donald Trump and not just his aides, but also now Donald Trump supporters. These people

00:11:02.500 have it out for, we've seen this all during the, you know, the COVID-19 regime, right? It's been to,

00:11:12.020 it's been to damage. It's been to destroy the working and middle classes of America, 1.00

00:11:19.700 while the oligarchy has gotten increasingly wealthy. And, you know, I, we, I started using

00:11:26.580 oligarch a year ago to describe, uh, whether it's Jeff Bezos, whether it's, uh, Mark Zuckerberg,

00:11:35.700 whomever it may be, uh, that is running and owning these enterprises that just define right now,

00:11:44.100 technology power, media power in the United States. And we call Russians in this similar situation,

00:11:50.980 we call them oligarchs, right? We are in exactly the same position as a Russian citizen. We have

00:11:56.980 right now a government attempting to destroy our rights, uh, to enlarge government, uh, to eliminate,

00:12:04.580 by the way, the impediments of state and local government. They are really talking about, uh,

00:12:10.100 as Andy Biggs said on this show, uh, last week that they really want a national government,

00:12:16.020 not a federal government. Federalism has no part of it. Our founders mean nothing to them.

00:12:21.380 And I've talked about the democratic party straight up. That's who they are. And they're,

00:12:27.620 and they're neo-Marxist, uh, colleagues in that party, as well as in corporate America,

00:12:33.620 in education, you name it. That's what we're facing. I, I, I agree entirely. I've, I've been using

00:12:41.140 oligarchy as well. If it's a, it, it, it, it is the word to describe, uh, to describe them. I,

00:12:48.100 we, you know, we, we, we've, uh, typically called them elites as well, but if you look at,

00:12:53.460 if you look at who they are, they're not, they're, they're, they're not elite, right? They have not,

00:12:57.700 not, not, and not in any sense of the world, not in any sense of the word, right? They're,

00:13:02.260 they're aspirational or performative elites, right? What we're really talking about is exactly

00:13:07.860 the concentration, the constant, the concentration of wealth, the concentration of, um, uh,

00:13:15.300 manufacturer distribution of certain goods. That's precisely what we're talking about and

00:13:20.340 their ties. And so far, the democratic party is the platform for the oligarchs to exercise power

00:13:28.180 right now. And you know, we're in the midst of hyperinflation in this, we're in the, not in the

00:13:33.780 midst of it. We are approaching, uh, the, uh, uh, hyperinflation will be in the midst of it.

00:13:40.340 I think, uh, perhaps as soon as the, uh, second half of this year, if, if conditions continue in

00:13:47.060 the same direction that they are, but people need to understand, we all need to focus on this.

00:13:54.420 There's a reason we have supply chain disruptions and that's because corporate America outsource

00:14:00.740 millions of middle-class jobs. They offshored, uh, hundreds of plants around the world to the

00:14:07.540 cheapest, uh, labor markets. And they also gave themselves a way to raise prices here

00:14:14.020 that they never before had, because there would be too much political pressure.

00:14:17.940 They can point the fingers, you know, their fingers at, uh, Bangladesh or, uh, Vietnam or China

00:14:24.980 and say, well, you know, we're just dependent on them for all of this material and supplies and products

00:14:30.580 and, you know, it's really their fault. And we're, we're having a lot of trouble with shipping,

00:14:34.740 which is entire, almost entirely owned by the communist Chinese again. So corporate 0.95

00:14:40.100 America has put itself in an advantageous position. They not only carry out labor arbitrage on wages,

00:14:47.460 they then carry out, uh, the ability to raise prices at a, at an onerous level, if they choose to,

00:14:55.940 it's not yet at that level, but they could very easily. And then, and then everybody talks about,

00:15:01.940 well, we've got the supply chain disruption. We, what we have is a supply chain that's overseas.

00:15:08.100 Why not do exactly what Donald Trump said, build your plants in the United States, hire Americans.

00:15:15.620 If you need more labor, bring in guest workers and do it lawfully and legally, uh, without creating all of

00:15:21.860 this, uh, conflict, but that isn't in their interest. I mean, it's, it's, it's nuts when you

00:15:28.500 think about it, what are, uh, what our leadership class did over the last several decades to export

00:15:37.300 our manufacturing base. I mean, this is, this is obvious that a strength of a country is dependent

00:15:44.020 on the things that that country makes, right? This is about, this is partly about its economy,

00:15:49.060 but it's also partly about its, uh, about its culture as well. And the idea of exporting all of

00:15:55.140 these, uh, exporting our manufacturing base abroad, especially to an adversarial power like the Chinese

00:16:04.420 communist party is absurd. That's what people should understand about the supply chain crisis,

00:16:09.780 how serious it is. It's a national security issue. This is, this is what's happening. These people

00:16:15.540 again and again, COVID is a national security issue. The fact that so much of our, the fact

00:16:23.060 that the American economy is so deeply tied to China's, it's a national security issue. And the

00:16:28.340 idea again, that our corporate and political establishment, the oligarchs have profited from

00:16:34.980 this at the expense of American workers and the national security of the country. It's obscene.

00:16:43.060 And let's be very, very straightforward about this, Lee. What is there to prevent,

00:16:50.420 given our response to the death of more than 800,000 Americans as a result of COVID-19 or Wuhan

00:16:58.340 virus, if, uh, uh, were to be more accurate, uh, what is to prevent them from saying, well,

00:17:05.940 they did nothing. This is the equivalent of murder. They knew that they had released this,

00:17:11.220 this virus on the world. They knew that they were doing nothing and only protecting themselves,

00:17:17.380 which is the moral equivalent and my judgment of murder. And they were permitted to get away

00:17:24.260 with it and have been throughout. As a matter of fact, uh, we have more apologists in our health,

00:17:29.860 our public health agencies, uh, our federal public health agencies for what the Chinese have done. 0.96

00:17:35.220 Uh, then we have, well, I won't even get into it. Well, I mean, you, you ask, I mean, we've,

00:17:42.660 we've shown how we handle, how we handle a national security crisis like this, which is disastrous.

00:17:50.020 Now all the world understands it. It's not only that we've not held, um, Beijing accountable. We

00:17:57.220 haven't held our own officials accountable. Anthony Fauci since 9 11 has been building a biodefense

00:18:04.500 empire. Hundreds of billions, maybe trillions of dollars have gone to this biodefense empire.

00:18:10.660 In 20 years, Anthony Fauci has proven incapable after all that money has proven incapable

00:18:17.540 of manufacturing a vaccine that is effective against a virus with a survival rate of over 99%.

00:18:29.620 I mean, this is, this is obscene. And so again, the rest of the world looks and they see,

00:18:33.540 what do they see? They see our officials. They see the president of the United States.

00:18:37.380 They see public health officials, intelligence officials, state and local governments treating

00:18:44.020 the American public like mutts. That's our response. That's our response to a crisis. 0.72

00:18:50.660 So the problem is not just at home, what our officials are doing to the American people at home,

00:18:56.900 but what the rest of the world is seeing how we respond to crisis where we're, we're in trouble.

00:19:02.020 We're in trouble. We need serious, responsible leadership. Yeah. And it's, it is occurring to most

00:19:07.220 Americans that now we've been in this pandemic for two years and we still don't have a unified

00:19:14.900 early treatment program brought to us by the CDC or the NIH that is effective. If we did not have

00:19:22.740 these so-called brilliant physicians and researchers who are speaking publicly, and they began by speaking

00:19:32.100 publicly on social media, by the way, they snuck through the oligarchs wall to speak to the American

00:19:39.140 people. We now know that there are early treatments, which by the way, include ivermectin, which actually

00:19:46.180 do include hydroxychloroquine, irrespective of all of the protests. They do have a role in some,

00:19:54.740 in many countries, actually. And we need to understand why we don't have a regimen that's

00:20:01.460 publicly available. Do I gargle with a diluted mouthwash through my nasal passages to, you know,

00:20:11.220 to clear my airway of a viral load? What exactly are we to do? We know about five vaccines and four

00:20:20.820 booster shots. Right. And I, by the way, I'm, I have, my wife and I are vaccinated, boosters and

00:20:27.940 everything else. But I respect the right of anyone to make a determination about that vaccine on their

00:20:34.500 own because the answers are not in. And to say otherwise is silly. And we're not getting answers 0.89

00:20:40.660 from our public health officials. I mean, this is a disaster that will last for generations.

00:20:46.740 Uh, and the idea that, that we still, because, because there's such an enormous effort to cover

00:20:54.260 up all manner of issues related to COVID-19, we still don't have answers to basic things that we

00:21:01.460 need, not just treatment, early treatment, though, of course, this is important, but they're blocking

00:21:05.780 that to, to, to protect pharmaceutical manufacturers. I mean, this is obscene. It's not, what, what,

00:21:10.820 it's not just, where did COVID originate? It's like, what exactly does COVID do? Is it a respiratory

00:21:17.060 disease? Why does it cause blood clots? Why does it appear to attack some people's, uh, cardiovascular

00:21:24.660 system? These are all important questions that we would like to have answered. But instead we have

00:21:29.860 public health officials who get on TV three, four times a day and lie to the American public. The idea

00:21:36.420 that we can't, that we cannot trust our public health officials anymore. It's not just the FBI.

00:21:42.500 It's not just, uh, it's not just the DOJ. Yeah. The first rule it's, it's the government, uh, you know,

00:21:49.780 and they're not here to help you in many instances. I knew that we knew they weren't here to help us,

00:21:55.300 but who, but who would have thought that they're, they're here to protect pharmaceutical companies

00:21:59.140 and they don't care about the welfare of the American public or communist China or, uh,

00:22:05.380 mayor Putin or what in the world, you know, it goes to the issue of the January six committee.

00:22:12.180 What's its real purpose. It's real purpose is to distract Americans from the fact that Biden now

00:22:19.540 has been in office, uh, his first year in office. He has more Americans that have died from COVID

00:22:26.580 than did president Trump, who he excoriated on the campaign trail. He said he had a plan. Now he says

00:22:35.620 it's, there is no federal solution. Like hell, there's not, it's part of the solution. It's just not

00:22:41.140 all of the solution. And there has to be a full partnership in this federalist, uh, uh, system of, uh,

00:22:48.820 government of ours, but this, the January six committee is designed to, to be a tool, a weapon

00:22:57.940 in the midterm elections, in my opinion, uh, and to distract from all of the immense failures of

00:23:04.100 this administration, which is the most inept in my career. There's no S there's no close second, not

00:23:09.620 even Jimmy Carter came this close to utter ineptitude and, uh, the mockery of the oval office

00:23:18.100 through his conduct, his speeches, his con his behavior in general. Oh yeah. Jimmy Carter looks

00:23:24.740 like Jimmy Carter looks like Eisenhower in comparison. I mean, I mean, this is, you know,

00:23:30.420 you know, looks, looks, looks like a hugely, looks like a hugely competent strategist. Um, yes, I, I,

00:23:38.020 I think January 6th is meant to be a distraction. Uh, it's meant to be a circus, a performance,

00:23:44.900 certainly a clown show. And it's also meant to, in a very serious and dangerous way, it's also meant

00:23:51.300 to criminalize opposition to Joe Biden. I mean, that's how it started. Right. And that's what these

00:23:56.820 judges are saying. They're, they're asking, they're asking them. I mean, it's a, you know,

00:24:00.420 I, I shouldn't be laughing, but it's so absurd that as Americans, as Americans, we are living

00:24:05.860 in this environment right now where federal judges are demanding that, uh, detainees denounce

00:24:12.580 their support for Donald Trump and will refuse, uh, and can't watch cable television. I mean, this is,

00:24:19.460 this is, I mean, that's clearly what it is criminalizing opposition to, to Joe Biden.

00:24:24.500 And it's Soviet style justice. I mean, I, it is, this place is right now looking more 0.88

00:24:31.860 like the Soviet union in 1990 and Russia is looking like they're trying to

00:24:39.540 accelerate. So they look more like Soviet, the Soviet union than do we, uh, we are,

00:24:45.860 we have the most oppressive government right now in our history, in my judgment, uh, that is a

00:24:52.180 government committed to getting bigger. Uh, the January 6th is, uh, show Soviet show trials is 0.86

00:24:59.140 what it seems they envision and imagine and, uh, are perpetrating. Uh, I, I don't see how this ends

00:25:06.420 well for the Democrats because just like the two impeachment efforts by them, uh, against president

00:25:12.740 Trump baseless fraudulent, uh, and they persisted the investigations before he was president, uh, that

00:25:20.020 lasted, uh, into his, uh, early days of his first term, uh, 22 months of the special counsel, it goes

00:25:28.020 on and on. And there is not so much as a parking ticket being waived by the always energetic Adam

00:25:38.180 shift when it comes to investigations of innocent people. Right. Um, I, I, I agree. I think it's going

00:25:46.820 to, I think it's not just going to rebound on the Democrats and the midterms. I think that there's

00:25:54.180 going to be an enormous price to pay. I think we're starting to see cracks. I think that some of them are

00:26:00.980 starting to get worried, especially on the state and local level. Some of them are starting to get

00:26:06.420 worried for their political futures, which is good. I want them to worry there for their political

00:26:10.740 futures, but I'm thinking more down line in terms of legal risk. Um, in terms of, in terms of, uh,

00:26:19.300 civil action in terms of criminal action regarding what some of our public, what, what, what some of our

00:26:26.500 public authorities have done to Americans during the course of the COVID regime. I mean, it's, it's the

00:26:33.300 amount of pain they have inflicted on people is astonishing and the amount of pain they continue

00:26:39.540 to inflict. So there is definitely going to be the first wave I think will be political. The second

00:26:46.980 will look like something else. These, these people, right. They may rule with an idea that they're the

00:26:52.340 Soviet union, but these are incredibly weak people. They're as dumb as Soviet officials, but they're much 1.00

00:26:59.860 weaker, much weaker. And, uh, your good friend, Devin Nunes, uh, has a new job. Uh, are you going to be 1.00

00:27:10.500 playing any part in that? Are you, are you, uh, I, I, I, I, yeah, I hope they give me a, a good tan handle

00:27:18.820 to use on their social media platform. Um, I, yeah, one for me too. Yeah. Well, I'll, I'll, I'll just reserve

00:27:27.140 Lou. There you go. You don't have to go just be like, you know, one name like Pele or Madonna or

00:27:31.940 whatever. Um, all right. I, I, I think it's very important. I'm so excited about this. And a lot of

00:27:38.900 people I know have been a little, you know, a little disappointed that the Congressman, well,

00:27:42.980 that he left Congress. Um, is there word, they're worried about, well, what kind of spine do we have

00:27:48.580 now? What kind of spine does the American public have without someone like Devin Nunes standing up for

00:27:53.620 us in Congress? The, the communications architecture that the America first movement

00:28:01.060 that pro American Americans need is, is so important. We need to be able to communicate

00:28:07.260 with each other. We need, we need, um, to be able to receive information to create, um, to, to, uh,

00:28:16.500 create and disseminate information as well. So what he's doing that organization,

00:28:22.740 the Trump media and technology group, I believe that this will be the centerpiece

00:28:28.420 of pro America communications infrastructure. Uh, uh, Mr. Nunes wrote a book called countdown

00:28:36.900 to socialism, a short book published by encounter about a, about a year ago now,

00:28:41.700 which is really, really important. It shows what his ideas are about communications and the media.

00:28:47.860 And so that gives a really important insight into the kinds of things that he, uh, and his team over

00:28:53.540 there are, are, are going to be doing. I, it's really exciting. And I, I, again, when, when people

00:28:59.460 are a little down that he, that he left, uh, left the hill, I'm like, Oh no, this is great. What he's

00:29:04.020 doing. It's, it's a real leadership position. And in so far as we're looking at this right now,

00:29:09.540 in terms of a cold conflict, I mean, he's right now, I mean, he he's right now, one of the top

00:29:15.140 generals. So it's, it's really great. And I hope, I hope your audience is as excited as I am about it.

00:29:21.060 Well, uh, I speak for myself for certainly, I never speak for the, for this audience, but, uh, I,

00:29:28.100 I only talked about what, you know, I'm going to do. I've never told anybody else what to do.

00:29:32.100 Uh, but I am, you know, I, what I worry about is the tea party at its height in 2010, tried to do

00:29:41.060 the same thing and was, they were crushed by the Dems, the left-wing media. And I fear the, you know,

00:29:48.580 I fear, uh, that some may be, uh, underestimating, uh, the power of the Dems to do the same thing right

00:29:55.300 now, uh, particularly since they're even deep, more deeply aligned with the, uh, uh, big tech and social

00:30:01.940 media, but, uh, let's give them hell and make certain that, uh, this thing succeeds. Uh, I want to,

00:30:10.500 Julie Kelly has a new book out and on, uh, January 6th, and we're going to be talking with her here

00:30:18.420 next on the great show. How great. Yeah. If you could give, uh, your thoughts just real quickly on,

00:30:25.060 uh, on that, uh, as we wrap up. Yeah. Well, Julie kindly, I mean, it's a huge honor. Julie asked me to

00:30:31.700 write a forward for that great book. Um, and I, uh, you know, I mean, my case is this is a, a, a,

00:30:38.900 a very, very important piece of reporting. Um, but it's also, I mean, it's also, uh, one of the early

00:30:45.700 entries into, I guess, if you're talking about the Soviets, what we might call American son is that,

00:30:51.380 right. This is, this is, this is opposition, Julie, and the people that she interviewed,

00:30:56.980 the people that she's working with, the people that she speaks for. I mean, Julie is, is, is a

00:31:01.780 dissident, you know? And I think that, I think that's a fair way to describe the work that a lot

00:31:06.100 of us, that, that a lot of people are doing on this side. I think that's, I think that's what

00:31:10.180 you're doing, Lou. You're, you're, you're getting out there and you're saying that these are important

00:31:14.580 things that people need to know, and we're going to push through the noise and we're going to keep

00:31:18.580 telling, we're going to keep telling people this no matter how much they try to shut us up,

00:31:22.660 silence us, curse us, whatever. So yeah, Julie's book, I can't speak highly enough about Julie or,

00:31:28.660 um, or this, or this book. And I hope people go out and get it. Cause I, I, I find all the time,

00:31:33.860 like wet, well-meaning people surprisingly, like well-meaning people, not insane leftists. Um,

00:31:39.700 not people who are, you know, committed to worshiping at the altar of, uh, Barack Obama and Joe Biden,

00:31:45.460 but well-meaning people, they do not know what happened on January 6th. All they get is this garbage 0.98

00:31:50.660 narrative. Julie's book cuts through all that. And so I, again, I hope that, that people will 0.97

00:31:57.220 spread that book around. So people understand what happened on January 6th and, and it's aftermath,

00:32:03.380 the way that the justice department, the way that Merrick Garland and the way that Christopher Ray

00:32:09.100 have gone after people for protesting. Look, the people on January 6th who broke the law,

00:32:16.820 whether they, whether it was a felony or a misdemeanor, they should be prosecuted like

00:32:21.700 Americans. That's what happens. If you're an American, you have to follow the up to obey the 0.72

00:32:26.420 law. And if you don't, you're charged, but these aren't domestic terrorists. These are Americans.

00:32:33.460 And they're also, are not the greatest threat facing the United States as, uh, some of our geniuses

00:32:38.580 in Washington on the left. Absolutely not. Yes, absolutely not. Lee Smith, always great talking with

00:32:45.300 you. We thank you so much. Uh, thank you, Lou. Thanks so much. Look forward to our next

00:32:49.780 conversation soon. I do too. Thank you so much again. I really appreciate it. And I'm a great

00:32:54.660 new year. You too. Thank you. Lee Smith, a great American. We're going to be talking with Julie

00:33:00.740 Kelly here next, uh, about her important new book. Stay with us as the great America show continues.

00:33:08.420 Julie Kelly and January six next. And now please welcome to the great America show. The author of

00:33:16.740 the brand new book, January six, how Democrats use the Capitol protest to launch a war of terror

00:33:25.060 against the political right. The book is available right now on Amazon. We recommend the book to you

00:33:32.580 highly and delighted to welcome Julie Kelly. Uh, we're, we're thrilled to have you with us,

00:33:38.420 Julie and, uh, uh, proud of your accomplishment. Congratulations on the new book. Well, Lou,

00:33:45.060 thank you so much for having me on. I've been a long time fan of yours. My family was always

00:33:50.100 enjoyed watching you. So this is, uh, quite a treat to be joining you today. Thank you so much.

00:33:55.140 Well, thank you. And the Democrat party has become, well, I think for most of us,

00:34:01.300 it's become something unrecognizable to, to most Americans. The, the radical Dems vicious

00:34:07.620 campaigns against just basically fundamental American values against the, in fact, the American

00:34:14.340 way and their politics, a personal destruction. It's playing out with this January six committee.

00:34:21.460 Again, is, is the January six committee, just an extension of everything the radical Dems have

00:34:27.300 been doing and tried to do to president Trump. It absolutely is. I mean, this is just the latest

00:34:34.740 iteration of crossfire hurricane, uh, the Robert Mueller special council, the first impeachment,

00:34:41.620 the second impeachment. So this is just their way of continuing to trying to succeed where they have

00:34:49.460 failed over the last almost six months, uh, six years now. And that is weaponizing the administrative

00:34:55.700 state, especially national security state and Congress against the president, his family, his

00:35:02.100 supporters, his allies in Congress, his administration. So they're desperately trying to

00:35:08.660 get finally what they want, uh, which is criminal charges against Donald Trump, uh, before they lose

00:35:15.140 control of Congress at the end of this year as expected. Is it your expectation that no matter what

00:35:22.260 they will somehow bring some formal criminal charge against the former president?

00:35:27.620 I do Lou. I think what they will end up with is, uh, referring to the justice department,

00:35:36.980 a criminal charge of obstruction of an official proceeding. This is 1512 C2. This is one of Andrew

00:35:44.580 Weissman, uh, Robert Mueller's, uh, uh, dogged, uh, prosecutor. This was the obstruction charge that he

00:35:52.980 wanted, uh, used against Trump for attempting to obstruct the Mueller investigation that didn't go

00:35:58.580 anywhere. Um, but it sounds like this is the same obstruction charge that they want to refer to Joe Biden's

00:36:06.100 DOJ, uh, to charge Trump with this felony. It's punishable by up to 12, 20 years in prison,

00:36:12.900 more than 220 January 6th defendants now face this obstruction charge. So it sounds like

00:36:19.300 that is what will come out of this committee is a criminal referral to DOJ obstruction of an

00:36:24.740 official proceeding felony against the president. All right. Well, I, I, what you're saying makes

00:36:32.020 perfect sense in, in that it is absolutely aligned with everything that the, the radical

00:36:37.780 Dems have done previously, uh, that is to create construct charges and allegations that suit their

00:36:46.260 purpose. It would, there would have to be a direct causal relationship though, uh, between the former

00:36:52.820 president and the riots that took place on Capitol Hill in inside the Capitol, would there not?

00:37:00.660 Well, they will. And I'll tell you, Lou, it's, and I detailed this charge in my book and I talk about

00:37:06.820 its origins, this obstruction of an official proceeding, which was a law that was, uh, a statute

00:37:12.180 that was signed into law after the Enron investigation. So this was really to stop people from

00:37:19.060 tampering with congressional proceedings or investigations. This was never intended. And George

00:37:25.380 W. Bush said this when he signed it into law, this was never intended to be used against political

00:37:31.940 protesters or political activists. Just think Lou over the past 20 years, since this was signed into

00:37:38.180 law, especially during the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings, how many thousands of Americans could be

00:37:44.900 charged with this obstruction felony, go to jail for years because they shut down a hearing or they shut

00:37:50.820 down some official business in Congress. So this is the first time that prosecutors, right. And this is

00:37:58.420 the first time the prosecutors are attempting to use it against political protesters, including

00:38:04.260 many of whom committed no violent crime that day. But I, and I, and it has been questioned. There are several

00:38:10.340 defense motions to dismiss this count. You have judges now who are refusing to dismiss it, who seem to be

00:38:17.060 legitimizing it because they know that the committee is going to refer this obstruction charge to DOJ to

00:38:22.180 prosecute the former president. Um, but I'm not sure how it's going to stand up against a jury. Um, because

00:38:29.300 what official proceeding did Donald Trump actually interfere with that timeline does not, um, support

00:38:37.780 what prosecutors are trying to argue. Yeah. And again, there's also just the issue of executive privilege

00:38:45.380 here. Is there not, uh, they're treating, uh, the former president as if he were, were not president,

00:38:54.420 uh, you know, for the past six years. I mean, what they've done to a sitting president for those four

00:39:00.580 years is objectionable enough, but to go after him, uh, for the January 6th proceeding, uh, as if he

00:39:09.540 somehow had organized and, uh, led, uh, a riot with the purpose of disrupting that, uh, uh,

00:39:18.580 that meeting, uh, you know, to me, it's just, it's fanciful, but what is your take?

00:39:24.900 Oh, I totally, I completely agree. But as you know, Lou, the Democrats, and we're talking about

00:39:29.780 millions of Democrats across the country, they are just so frustrated that Donald Trump has not been

00:39:36.980 charged with any criminal conduct. These are people who really thought he'd be hauled out of

00:39:41.220 the white house and cuffs by Robert Mueller, accused and found guilty of colluding with the

00:39:46.420 Kremlin to win the 2016 election. Uh, they thought, you know, he would be impeached and removed, uh,

00:39:52.500 from office, uh, during the first impeachment, they've fallen for every little trap that the

00:39:57.940 Democrats have set. So now they only have a, you know, what a few more months to try to make all

00:40:04.180 these Democrats dreams come true. And that is to charge Donald Trump with obstruction,

00:40:09.140 not insurrection, not any of the hyperbole that we've been told, sedition, treason, um,

00:40:16.180 all sorts of outlandish accusations. So they're, they're finally going to try to nail him on an

00:40:20.820 obstruction charge. But again, I, the timeline of that day, uh, is not in favor of prosecutors.

00:40:26.820 What official proceeding did he obstruct, um, this joint session of Congress, uh, uh, recessed by

00:40:35.860 two 15 that day. So I'm not really sure what his people who had been at his speech, what they

00:40:42.340 interrupted. It, it just doesn't make any logical sense, but of course, you know, it doesn't have to.

00:40:46.580 Yeah. Logic and law are irrelevant to the Democrats. Uh, and, uh, and the dims themselves,

00:40:55.940 their politics of personal destruction, focusing on Donald Trump. Does it not occur to, to even, uh,

00:41:04.580 partisan Democrats that this is a man who's been investigated every year of his presidency months

00:41:11.940 before he became president. And now since he left the, uh, his office and they've never gotten

00:41:19.940 anything, I mean, nothing. And these are people trying very, very hard to, and they're, by the way,

00:41:27.860 perfectly capable of conjuring up all sorts of obscenities and absurd, uh, allegations. And by the

00:41:35.380 way, then trying to convince, I guess, people that some element would be true. None of it has been

00:41:41.300 successful. How many people in the United States could, could withstand four or five years of

00:41:50.900 investigations by professional, hardcore Department of Justice investigators and come out of it

00:41:58.340 without even a parking ticket or warrant? Well, and I think Lou, we can sort of laugh at it because

00:42:05.300 even though Donald Trump and his family had to go through this, I mean, he has had the entire

00:42:11.220 legal, judicial, national security, intelligence state after him for more than six years. And to

00:42:19.060 your point, they can't even come up with a, you know, a moving violation against him. This is infuriating

00:42:24.820 to their voters and their base. And so the idea that Democrats will lose control of the house this year,

00:42:31.940 and all of their chances now to, uh, put Donald Trump in prison will be gone. And this will be a huge

00:42:39.380 black mark against them. But, um, you know, to that extent, I guess you have to be a little bit

00:42:44.100 amused watching this whole circus unfold yet again. Yeah. What is it? The expression is, uh, once you

00:42:50.980 cross the penumbra of the absurd, there's nothing to do, but laugh and this, we have crossed that, uh, that

00:42:59.940 line, uh, the democratic party is, uh, is really an ugly obscene operation by any standard. And they

00:43:10.740 have not in any way been held accountable, uh, whether it is their law firm, uh, their principal

00:43:16.660 law firms, uh, Mark Elias, uh, and his campaign to, to make illegal balloting, uh, permissible, uh,

00:43:25.700 is sort of a rear guard action against further responsibility. When will the Democrats be held

00:43:32.580 accountable? Because we had the Paul Ryan house of representatives that he refused to, to issue a

00:43:39.300 subpoena to anyone. Uh, he is typical of the Mitch McConnell's, the John Thune's. I mean, John Thune now

00:43:46.340 is talking about succeeding Mitch McConnell for crying out loud. Oh, I mean, I mean, you talk about the

00:43:52.500 walking zombies. Uh, they are precisely what the Republican party does not need. And the American

00:43:58.900 people don't need your thoughts. Lou, you are a hundred percent right. And I think you have these

00:44:05.460 two clashing constituencies. You have the Democrats who are desperate, this blood lust that they have

00:44:11.700 for Trump and his voters, but you also have Trump millions, tens of millions of Trump voters are just

00:44:17.620 Republicans who are sick and tired of watching Democrats get away with this sort of behavior.

00:44:24.340 And it's not just elected politicians. You go down the list from James Comey to John Brennan,

00:44:30.740 Jim Clapper, Andy McCabe, who was spouting off last week, calling Trump supporters, domestic terrorists.

00:44:36.900 I mean, you go through the entire list of people who have gotten away with what really is criminal

00:44:43.620 conspiracy behavior against the president and really against the United States. And here they are

00:44:49.140 getting book deals and they're getting speeches and they're writing, uh, you know, they're, they're

00:44:53.860 so they're, they're celebrated in the media and democratic party. And so Lou, what message does that

00:45:00.180 send? Of course, this was the natural trajectory when no one gets punished for what they have done,

00:45:07.060 wielding powerful government tools and authority against a sitting president, his family members,

00:45:14.260 and now against hundreds of Americans who are being, uh, having their lives destroyed by this

00:45:19.460 justice department for trespassing at the Capitol for 10 minutes. Um, this is really scary territory.

00:45:25.700 And I will tell you, Lou, Republicans are more disgusted with our own leadership for going along

00:45:30.900 with this and not saying one word as this regime systematically destroys everything that we value in

00:45:37.700 our constitution and in our country. And we are not going to stand by and let Mitch McConnell

00:45:43.460 or Kevin McCarthy or anyone else play along with the left, like they have been doing. We want to take

00:45:50.020 the house and the Senate and we want to turn these tools and get and turn the tables on the Democrats for

00:45:56.980 what they've put us through over the past, what'll be six years really in the Trump era.

00:46:02.020 Well, I, I think you're exactly right. I, my, my problem is I don't see the Republican Party

00:46:11.140 at its, uh, in its uppermost leadership, whether it's Ronna McDaniel at the RNC, whether it's Mitch

00:46:18.500 McConnell or Kevin McCarthy, Kevin McCarthy put out this, uh, basic little video talking about how tough he was

00:46:25.620 going to be when he's elected speaker of the house. And if he's elected speaker of the house,

00:46:31.860 it's almost the same thing as if, uh, the Democrats had won, uh, the leadership of the house

00:46:37.460 through a Republican victory. It is insane. Uh, and he says not a word about January 6th. He says not a

00:46:45.780 word about the persecution of a president, a Republican president for six years. Uh, as you point out,

00:46:51.940 it is a sixth year of it, uh, it's disgusting. And they are in C there've been calls for audits.

00:46:59.940 I think there ought to be audits for the whole shooting match. Let's find out what's going on.

00:47:04.980 And as I said, John Thune to replace Mitch McConnell. Oh Lord. I mean, there isn't a pulse

00:47:10.980 between them. No, it's, it's disgusting. And Ronna McDaniel, a lovely woman, terrific person, uh, 0.96

00:47:18.820 but, uh, awful leader of the Republican party because she lost, she lost, and there's no 1.00

00:47:25.860 accountability within the, and I understand that president Trump, uh, is there, but that's got to

00:47:37.300 end. It's just got to end. But look, uh, let's be honest. President Trump continues to hang out

00:47:46.100 with Kevin McCarthy. I mean, he continues to bolster him as some sort of leader in the Republican

00:47:51.780 party. Donald Trump needs to cut ties with Kevin McCarthy. He needs to stand with Republican

00:47:57.780 lawmakers. And there are a handful who are ready to get rid of him as house leader. If they take over

00:48:03.140 the house, they don't want him as speaker. Um, we have to hold Senate Republican Senate candidates.

00:48:09.220 We have to make sure that they sign on and say, not only will we not elect Mitch McConnell again,

00:48:13.940 as, as our leader, we will not replace him with John Thune or anyone else who has the same milk toasty

00:48:20.820 play footsie with the left, but just has what a younger, nicer looking face than Mitch McConnell.

00:48:25.860 No, we, there's no time for that. Democrats have been at war with us. We have been flat footed,

00:48:31.380 if not complicit. And it's time for us to start battling back. And these are not the generals

00:48:36.100 that we need to have at the front of the line. So in your view is you assess this, uh,

00:48:44.660 who are the, and I know this goes well beyond your book, but I want to, to ask you nonetheless,

00:48:52.180 who do you see? Are there any obvious choices as new generals, younger generals that could be put in

00:48:59.220 place in the Republican party? Because we really only have till the midterm elections. Uh, well,

00:49:04.820 we don't have till then we have to begin now, uh, and begin the changes with the midterm elections,

00:49:11.140 not wait till 2024. Well, look, I, I do talk about this a little bit in my book and I talk about the

00:49:18.420 handful. And when I mean handful, I mean, less than 10. So two handfuls of Republican, uh,

00:49:24.340 House members who have spoken out against the political prisoners, the capture and

00:49:29.700 detainment of political prisoners in Washington, DC, who've spoken out about, about this abusive

00:49:36.260 investigation. And these are people like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Paul Gosar, Louie Gohmert,

00:49:42.020 Matt Getz, Andy Biggs. There are less than, like I said, about 10 or 12 of them. They understand what's

00:49:49.300 at stake. You might not like their approach. You might buy in. Actually, I do like their approach.

00:49:54.340 I do too. I do too. I become, I have become a huge fan of Marjorie Taylor Greene. And now I know why

00:50:00.420 they went after her so early and so hard because they knew she was a force to be reckoned with. She

00:50:05.460 is fearless. She will go up against her, our own party leadership, as well as the Democrats. She gets

00:50:11.220 what's at stake. Matt Getz, all of the, the other congressmen I said, understand. So we have those

00:50:17.940 people in the House. They are also, I think, bringing some of their colleagues along who are

00:50:23.860 not only maybe don't want to wake up to it, but are being pushed by their own constituents to wake up.

00:50:29.780 Right. Now the Senate side. Oh, Lord, who?

00:50:33.460 Yeah. So, so there's a, there's a handful, if you put it, but I'm talking about broadly in the

00:50:41.540 Republican Party. I mean, for the House, I would, I would endorse, frankly, any one of the names that

00:50:47.780 that you mentioned, and, and, and a few more. I think Jim Jordan comes to mind, certainly is one

00:50:56.420 of the toughest, smartest guys out there who can, who can, I think, quickly lead. But I'll, I mean,

00:51:04.500 I'll take anybody, but just don't give us another rhino in charge of a Republican Party that is no 1.00

00:51:10.500 longer standing for conservative values, American ideals. I mean, they're operating like a,

00:51:18.340 a subchapter of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, for crying out loud.

00:51:23.540 That's exactly right. And I do think there are leaders outside of D.C. where we have to look,

00:51:27.780 obviously, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, I think Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.

00:51:33.540 There are some other people in these states and state leadership positions who are fighting the

00:51:39.460 real battles where it counts. But that, that doesn't take away that we still need fighters

00:51:45.460 in Washington, D.C., because that's where all the action is right now. And that's where we need some

00:51:51.140 retribution for what's been done.

00:51:52.740 So, so returning to the work of the committee, a committee that has

00:52:02.420 Kenzinger and, and Cheney as the representing the rhino,

00:52:08.580 Marxist wing of the Republican Party, I suppose. It's, it's not bipartisan. It is clearly just partisan.

00:52:16.980 What can, what can the Republican Party do to stop this nonsense right now? I mean, shut it down. And

00:52:26.020 why on earth should there not be an accounting for McCarthy and for Mitch McConnell going along with

00:52:36.820 this nonsense? Unfortunately, I don't think there's a lot Republicans can do right now. Now,

00:52:43.620 they could be making more noise about what the committee is covering up. Let's talk about a

00:52:48.900 little bit. They say that this is a truth finding fact finding mission. Okay. We'll then force the

00:52:54.820 committee to release the 14,000 hours of surveillance video that security cap cameras captured on January

00:53:01.780 6th inside and outside the Capitol complex that DOJ and Capitol Police have under strict protective

00:53:08.580 orders. If we want the truth about that day, let the American people see all the video and what

00:53:14.340 transpired that day. They have now designated it highly sensitive government information. So basically

00:53:20.980 classified information that we paid for that we need to see. Why are they covering that up?

00:53:27.060 Why won't they discuss the role of the FBI? Why aren't they investigating people like Ray Epps,

00:53:32.820 the man seen on the fifth and sixth, encouraging people to go into the building? Why aren't they

00:53:37.540 investigating someone like Stuart Rhodes, who is the founder of the Oath Keepers in person one,

00:53:42.980 the unindicted still a year later co-conspirator in the 20 plus defendant Oath Keepers case,

00:53:50.420 he still has not even been charged with trespassing. Who were all the FBI hundreds of FBI assets we now

00:53:57.940 know deployed to the Capitol that day? Who were they? Why were they not identified as FBI or ATF or SWAT

00:54:05.380 team members or hostage rescue team? How were they dressed? What did they do with the crowd? We now know,

00:54:11.700 thanks to Newsweek's reporting, that contrary to what we've been told, there were at least a half dozen

00:54:18.180 elite FBI teams stationed at Quantico the weekend before January 6th, preparing for some kind of horrific

00:54:25.620 event that day. Well, no one has been told that. So let's get acting attorney Jeffrey Rosen in front

00:54:31.300 of this committee in public and talk about what he did with the FBI before and during January 6th.

00:54:38.340 So why do they keep covering up obfuscating so many elements of what happened that day? Let's see all of

00:54:44.100 Nancy Pelosi's communications. Why is she refusing to release any of her emails or communications to this

00:54:50.100 committee or to Republicans who are requesting it? What is she trying to hide? Why did she 0.56

00:54:55.460 she and Muriel Bowser repeatedly deny offers of additional security that day? What did Capitol

00:55:01.460 Police and DC Metro, what were they told to do? I talk about this a lot in my book, how DC Metro and

00:55:07.060 Capitol Police are the ones who started attacking protesters that day. Peaceful, legitimately peaceful

00:55:13.220 protesters, throwing flashbangs, rubber bullets, deploying tear gas and pepper balls into the crowd

00:55:19.620 of people doing nothing wrong to provoke and incite that crowd. So these are the big things that this

00:55:26.420 committee is covering up. Meanwhile, they want, you know, Donald Trump's emails from April of 2020.

00:55:32.740 So if Republicans were smart, which they're not, that is how they should be countering this committee's

00:55:38.500 activity every single day. Of course, they would never have that opportunity to ask that question

00:55:43.940 in that hearing. Because Pelosi would make certain they didn't, most likely wouldn't even get into the

00:55:51.620 hearing room. But why should, two things keep bothering me right now. One is, where is the Republican

00:55:59.940 Party? And why has it not been funding legal assistance for all of the people being held in

00:56:06.420 and many, if not most of them held without real due process? Some not charge for for ages.

00:56:16.500 There are only, I understand now 40 to 50 people being held in various locations, not all of them in

00:56:22.420 the DC jail. But why in the world didn't the Republican Party do something to help these people

00:56:29.860 and to and to just simply do the right thing? And secondly, why is it the Republican Party creating

00:56:37.060 a committee right now to run hearings? It doesn't have to be an official proceeding to the US Congress.

00:56:44.260 It could be the Republican Party investigation of January 6. And the, and by the way, make it an

00:56:50.660 investigation of the investigators. Because one thing we've learned over six years is that the

00:56:55.700 investigators break a lot more laws than the people they investigate.

00:57:00.820 Amen to that.

00:57:02.260 So, you know, it seems to me to be an approach that my good friend Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy

00:57:09.460 might consider. What do you think of the idea?

00:57:12.180 I love the idea. I think that there are a few Republicans, the ones that I mentioned,

00:57:17.140 who were toying with that idea. I'm sure that Kevin McCarthy, if he caught wind of it,

00:57:21.700 put an immediate kibosh on that idea. But you're right. Why aren't they holding other hearings separate

00:57:28.500 to what official congressional business and the select committee? They should be talking about

00:57:34.980 not just the FBI's role, but these horrific FBI raids that I talk about in my book, people who have,

00:57:41.780 I mean, that's one big thing, the investigation, what the charges are, what did Democrats do before

00:57:48.820 and during January 6th? Where are the Republicans countering this, holding their own hearings,

00:57:54.500 holding their own press briefings, demanding that the media report certain aspects of this,

00:57:59.620 that they're not to the extent that they can. They're just, I think, Lou, a lot of Republicans

00:58:05.780 went along early with the insurrection narrative, and they don't want to look like they're defending any

00:58:12.420 of these people. But these people deserve defending. They are, their lives are being destroyed by this

00:58:19.140 powerful Biden regime, and they deserve being defended. You know, very simply, as one wag put it

00:58:28.180 on social media, do you really think that the country is going to be taken over by a guy with paint 0.98

00:58:36.740 on his face wearing a Viking helmet? Is that what you really think? This is so many levels.

00:58:45.620 Could he do a much worse job, Jacob Chansley? Could he do a worse job than what we've got in

00:58:50.180 Washington right now? I put my chips on Jacob Chansley any day. I've listened to him. I've listened

00:58:55.620 to him in court. He's far smarter and more articulate than Kevin McCarthy is, I'll tell you that.

00:59:00.180 Well, you know, everybody may get that opportunity. We'll soon see.

00:59:08.900 Julie, thanks so much for being with us. I hope you'll come back soon.

01:00:31.460 some extended period of time about what is on his mind, all of the projects that he has underway,

01:00:45.700 the country when we when we realize that we have permitted a private company to shut down the

01:00:52.980 voice of a sitting president and and a former president at the same time. It's just outrageous,

01:01:01.140 but we'll have his thinking, his voice. And boy, do we need that voice in this country. Right.

01:01:07.540 President Trump to join us here on The Great America Show. We thank you for being with us. Please
