Summary
We begin today with a country in the throes of absurdity, and for the most part we can blame the domestic Marxist Dems and foreign enemies, and it s the Chinese communists who account for most of those foreign enemies. For example, a report on what should be limited to the real estate section of the local paper in Morriston, Florida, a new owner wants to breed monkeys, but the zoning laws in that area prohibit that, and guess who the new owner is? Communist China. Another absurdity playing out in our courts, pitting our corrupt DOJ and FBI against former President Donald Trump, who else would they go after?

Hello, everybody. I'm Lou Dobbs. Welcome to the Great America Show. Great to have you with us,
00:00:06.180
and thanks for joining us. We begin today with a country in the throes of absurdity,
00:00:11.220
and for the most part, we can blame the domestic Marxist Dems and foreign enemies,
00:00:18.060
and it's the Chinese communists, by the way, who account for most of those foreign enemies.
00:00:23.460
For example, this report on what should be limited to the real estate section
00:00:27.760
of the local paper in Morriston, Florida. It's all about the purchase of 1,400 acres of farmland.
00:00:35.920
But no, because it turns out the buyer wanted the land to breed monkeys and build a quarantine
00:00:42.660
facility, whatever that might mean. You might think, monkeys? Quarantine? Oh my gosh, could it
00:00:50.340
be some kind of weird biological research facility? Well, it turns out just like that, because that's
00:00:57.320
what the new owner wants to do. But the zoning laws right now prohibit that. So the Gateway Pundit
00:01:04.120
reports they're asking for a rezoning. And guess who the new owner is? A couple of hints for you.
00:01:11.240
Think pandemic. Think origin. You got it. Communist China. The new owner is a Chinese biotech company
00:01:19.860
that's tied into the Communist Party and to China's military, the People's Liberation Army.
00:01:27.220
The Chinese are setting up shop here for their biotech efforts. Insourcing, if you will. Can't
00:01:34.460
wait to see if the Biden White House lets this one go through. It's even money what happens.
00:01:40.160
Another absurdity playing out in our courts, pitting our corrupt DOJ and FBI against former
00:01:47.520
President Donald J. Trump. Who else would they go after? He's been their target for harassment and
00:01:54.080
hounding and political persecution for the past six years. The DOJ and FBI, the bad guys for all that
00:02:02.240
time, doing lots of bad things, breaking the law, and they want to keep that up. And the judiciary sides
00:02:09.600
with them, because many of the judges are just as politically corrupt as the FBI and DOJ.
00:02:17.520
To help sort all of this out is Mike Davis. Mike is the former chief counsel for nominations to the
00:02:23.960
Senate Judiciary Committee and Chairman Chuck Grassley. Mike is now the founder and president of
00:02:30.320
the Article 3 Project, which defends constitutionalist judges and the rule of law, and also leads the
00:02:38.040
Internet Accountability Project. It's an advocacy organization fighting to rein in big tech, cancel
00:02:44.920
culture, and the woke mob. Mike, it's great to have you with us here on The Great America Show. The DOJ
00:02:51.720
and FBI are, in my opinion, not only reckless, but abusing their power, and they need to be held to
00:02:57.980
account. Your thoughts? Yeah, so I think we need to step back, Lou, and look at the law here. And it is
00:03:04.080
very clear that the president of the United States has the absolute constitutional power as commander
00:03:10.160
in chief to declassify anything he wants for any reason he wants. He doesn't have to label it. He
00:03:14.960
doesn't have to get any bureaucrats permission who works for him. He can just do it. He can do it
00:03:20.320
through his actions. He can literally wave a magic wand. And that is very clear from a 1988 Supreme Court
00:03:26.480
case department of the Navy versus Eagan. In this instance, President Trump declassified all of these
00:03:32.240
materials, both through his words and through his actions. He had a January 19th, 2021 declassification
00:03:40.160
memo the day before he left office, declassifying all the Russian collusion records, crossfire hurricane
00:03:45.680
records. Those records are very damaging, very damning, really, for Obama, Biden, Hillary,
00:03:51.680
Susan Rice, Brennan, Clapper, the FBI, the intel community, because they show that the Russian
00:03:58.240
collusion investigation was a hoax to go after president, then candidate Donald Trump in 2016,
00:04:05.040
and then to continue to go after him while he was a president. So this is what it's all about.
00:04:09.680
So the president has the constitutional power to declassify. He has the statutory power under the
00:04:14.820
Presidential Records Act to keep and maintain presidential records at his office of the former
00:04:20.700
president in Mar-a-Lago. So Congress gives former presidents federally funded staff with security
00:04:26.400
clearances. Congress gives former presidents secure office space or SCIFs. So look at these
00:04:32.840
classified materials. He also gets Secret Service protection. This Mar-a-Lago was guarded by the Secret
00:04:39.020
Service. These are papers. This is not like Hillary Clinton's home server, illegal home server, when she was
00:04:44.820
Secretary of State, with our nation's most classified secrets that were hacked by our
00:04:50.520
enemies. And then she destroyed the server and destroyed the phones in light in face of the
00:04:56.620
investigation. It's Hillary who committed espionage. It's Hillary who violated the statutes related to
00:05:03.580
government property theft, misuse of government property. It's Hillary who obstructed justice.
00:05:08.220
There is no way as a matter of law that President Trump could have done any of these things because he
00:05:13.680
was the president and he had this power under the Constitution and the Presidential Records Act. So it's legally
00:05:19.540
impossible for President Trump to have obstructed investigations into these non-crimes. If it's
00:05:26.720
legally impossible for Trump to have committed a crime, it's not legally possible for the federal
00:05:31.280
government to open a grand jury investigation to investigate these crimes. And that's confirmed
00:05:36.360
by the Office of Legal Counsel, OLC, the General Counsel for the Executive Branch. When Bill Barr,
00:05:43.500
as the Attorney General of the United States, got an opinion related to potential obstruction charges,
00:05:48.940
as part of the Mueller probe. And they came to the conclusion that we are discussing, which is it is
00:05:54.940
nearly legally impossible to obstruct investigations into non-crimes. There are like just a handful of
00:06:03.080
examples in our nation's history where you can obstruct investigations into non-crimes and they're not
00:06:10.240
applicable to any of the facts before us right now.
00:06:12.740
Yeah, I think that to that point first, it's a remarkable thing that, you know, I guess one of the, one of my favorite
00:06:24.120
metaphors for this about obstruction and the underlying crime is the, you know, a cowboy lynching.
00:06:32.900
They figured out he hadn't stolen the horse and therefore they decided to, you know, go ahead with the
00:06:41.260
hanging anyway and he managed to escape. They got him on escaping from a crime that he didn't do.
00:06:48.360
But the fact of the matter is, this is absurdity by our, by our law and so many lawyers in Washington,
00:06:57.000
D.C. that there would even be a question that a president is obstructing justice when there was
00:07:02.640
no crime with which he's charged to obstruct. Yeah. And that's, that's the layman's view.
00:07:10.000
Yeah. And that's, that is exactly right here. So what has happened here is this, this, this theory
00:07:17.820
behind this investigation is that the library called police for overdue library books. The books are not
00:07:27.480
overdue and the books don't even belong to the library. This is absurd what they're doing with
00:07:32.980
President Trump here. And it is part of a pattern by the Biden justice department and by the FBI and
00:07:39.140
the intel community to take them out politically because he is such a threat to them because he's
00:07:43.920
not part of the unit party. They don't own him like they own every other politician in Washington,
00:07:49.340
Democrat and Republican. He doesn't need anything from them. He's a billionaire. He has a better
00:07:53.900
house. He has a better plane. He has a better helicopter. He has better cars. He had a better
00:07:59.380
life. Being a president was actually a step down for Donald Trump. And we should be very happy as a
00:08:06.800
country that someone with his background, with his business experience, with his common sense was
00:08:11.600
willing to make these tremendous sacrifices to become the president. And the, the people in
00:08:16.980
Washington, the unit party have never accepted him as president. They tried to use Russian collusion
00:08:22.620
to block him from being president. They, they spied on him when he was a presidential candidate. They
00:08:27.880
spied on him when he was the president of the United States and they impeached him twice. So,
00:08:32.140
you know, the same people screaming about democracy are using the justice department,
00:08:37.700
the FBI, the intel communities. They're weaponizing them and politicizing them against Donald Trump
00:08:43.080
because they don't like what the American people have done by electing President Trump.
00:08:48.200
And what they've done is put forward a man into the Oval Office who is not part of the establishment,
00:08:55.720
who is not in any way interested in the corruption that makes the swamp such an exciting place for
00:09:03.220
those creatures that inhabit it. And the fact of the matter is, he was also balancing the global
00:09:11.120
payment system as well as trade system, doing so that created a lot of anxiety on the part of our
00:09:19.560
allies, as well as within the military industrial complex of this country. Also, as he was pulling
00:09:26.200
troops back, he was upsetting a very lucrative apple cart in the, in the public square, uh, doing it out
00:09:34.020
in front of God and everybody. And that has to be much of the motivation here for what has been a six
00:09:41.380
year political persecution of Donald J. Trump. Do you agree or not? I agree. I think the, the unit party
00:09:48.160
and the business interests that support the unit party hated Trump because he wasn't, he wasn't part
00:09:55.180
of the DC swamp. You know, it's, I would just say, look at this and that, look at the investigation
00:10:00.760
that we're running here. Let's look at present, look, presidents of the United States, they're not
00:10:05.460
above the law. They're not below the law, but when it comes to classification, they are the law,
00:10:10.760
right? So it is legally impossible to charge a president of the United States with espionage for how he
00:10:16.760
handles classified materials and look at what, let's just give you an example with president
00:10:21.140
Bill Clinton. President Bill Clinton had eight years of audio tape recordings of his presidency with
00:10:28.060
a historian. These are clearly presidential records as contemplated by the presidential
00:10:33.720
records act of 1978. So Tom Fenton at judicial watch found out about these tapes and they were in
00:10:42.400
Bill Clinton's sock drawer. He left the white house with these tapes in his sock drawer. These
00:10:46.220
include highly classified conversations with the president of the United States. Bill Clinton
00:10:51.700
left the white house with these and put them in his sock drawer. So Tom Fenton sues in 2012,
00:10:57.180
an Obama judge rules that under the presidential records act, Bill Clinton was perfectly within his
00:11:03.360
legal rights to take these tapes and put them in his sock drawer, right? And so what's the difference?
00:11:09.100
President Trump took records, he declassified them and took them to Mar-a-Lago. At Mar-a-Lago,
00:11:14.680
they're in a secure facility guarded by Secret Service with staff with security clearances.
00:11:19.940
Why does Bill Clinton get to take audio tapes and put them in his sock drawer and nothing happens?
00:11:25.640
He gets blessed by a judge. But if Trump takes records and takes them to the office of former
00:11:30.560
president of Mar-a-Lago, he gets a home rate. He has a brigade of 30 FBI agents going to his house,
00:11:36.920
going through Melania's closet. They can go after a billionaire former president.
00:11:42.020
Just imagine what they could do to the rest of us.
00:11:45.280
Let's look at this thing as well. From the process that was underway between
00:11:51.920
the former president, Donald Trump, and the National Archives had been successful. It may not have been
00:12:00.380
going exactly the way the National Archives wanted it to go, but that it was an ongoing negotiation and
00:12:06.480
cooperation. They turned over 15 boxes that were requested, made changes to the vault, and we end up
00:12:15.240
with an archivist effectively claiming that she was given the power to inform the Justice Department that
00:12:22.660
they must seize those records at Mar-a-Lago because the president of the United States had so authorized
00:12:29.100
her. That seems preposterous on its face, yet that is exactly the story emanating from the National
00:12:38.120
Yeah, Lou, it is preposterous, and I'll tell you why. The Presidential Records Act was passed in 1978
00:12:44.880
after the Nixon scandals to apply to presidents from 1980 going forward, whoever won the 1980 race going
00:12:51.660
forward. Before this time, presidential records were personal property of the president. And if you look at the
00:12:58.760
Presidential Records Act, what it does is it says, okay, there's going to be good faith negotiations
00:13:03.440
between the president and the former president, along with the National Archives, to figure out
00:13:08.440
what are personal records that belong to the president versus what are presidential records that get sent to
00:13:14.320
the National Archives. The librarians categorize it, that it almost certainly gets sent back to the
00:13:21.260
office of former president to go into his library, right? There is no deadline for the former
00:13:27.180
president to turn over these records, and there's no criminal enforcement component.
00:13:32.860
What this deranged archivist did, this Trump deranged archivist did, is they bootstrapped
00:13:38.060
these government record statutes that have nothing to do with the Presidential Records Act. The
00:13:42.900
Presidential Records Act directly controls the president and the former president. They bootstrapped
00:13:48.420
on these other statutes that don't apply, and they tried to turn this into a criminal investigation,
00:13:54.040
and they opened up a grand jury. And this is all pretextual, and it's all pretextual, number one,
00:14:00.280
because they want to get Trump, and that's part of their pattern in the D.C. swamp for the last six
00:14:05.000
years to get Trump. And number two, the real reason they went after these records is because, again,
00:14:10.040
President Trump declassified and took a personal copy to Mar-a-Lago his crossfire hurricane Russian
00:14:18.060
collusion records. And those are so damaging to Clinton, Obama, Hillary Clapper, Brennan, Susan Rice,
00:14:24.440
the FBI, the intel community. That's why they did this raid. Everything else is a charade. And they
00:14:30.200
went down. Attorney General Merrick Garland thought that these records were so potentially dangerous in
00:14:38.160
Trump's hands that he waited 18 months to go get them. So once Garland, and then Garland said he
00:14:48.320
deliberate, so the Biden administration waited 18 months to go get these records. Then Biden said
00:14:54.320
that he deliberated, he leaked out to Newsweek that he deliberated for weeks before he made the decision
00:15:00.840
to authorize this home raid. During these weeks, he was supposedly deliberating. He could have walked down
00:15:06.100
the hallway to the Office of Legal Counsel at the Justice Department to get a legal opinion from
00:15:11.480
OLC on whether this home raid was legal. And they almost certainly would have told him that it's not
00:15:17.380
a legal home raid because of what we discussed, that the president has the constitutional power
00:15:23.440
to declassify anything he wants. And he has the statutory power into the Presidential Records Act
00:15:28.020
to keep records in the office of former president. And so therefore, he could not have obstructed
00:15:33.540
these investigations. He would have heard that. But during this time that he deliberated for weeks,
00:15:38.080
they managed to judge shop for this magistrate judge Bruce Reinhardt in Florida, who had six
00:15:44.120
weeks prior had recused from President Trump's civil lawsuit against Hillary Clinton related to guess
00:15:50.840
what Russian collusion. And so he recused this magistrate judge recused because of his 2017 Facebook
00:15:58.180
post where he was bashing President Trump personally. Somehow, this magistrate judge's clear judicial bias
00:16:05.220
under 28 UFC 455A and Canon 2 and Canon 2A of the judicial canons magically disappeared. And he
00:16:13.300
authorized this unprecedented, unnecessary and unlawful home raid for former president. President Trump and
00:16:20.440
his lawyers were cooperating with the National Archives. There is a natural give and take between former
00:16:26.420
president and former presidents and the archives. Former presidents think that everything they have is a
00:16:32.420
personal record, including President Trump probably thinking his love notes with the North Korean
00:16:37.220
dictator were personal records. The archivists think that everything that the president does is
00:16:43.460
everything the president touches is a presidential record. So if the president sneezes into a Kleenex,
00:16:48.500
the archivist at the National Archives will think that that's a presidential record. There is a natural
00:16:53.380
give and take between the former president and the archives. The Clintons left the White House with
00:16:59.060
$190,000. They stole $190,000 worth of furniture and rugs and flatware. There was no home raid. Again,
00:17:06.660
Hillary Clinton, who was never president, will never will be president, had her illegal home server that
00:17:11.380
was hacked by foreign governments that she destroyed. No home raid. Bill Clinton had his eight years of his
00:17:18.100
presidency audio tapes with highly classified conversations in his sock drawer. No home raid.
00:17:23.780
This is unprecedented what the National Archives did here working with the Biden Justice Department. And you've
00:17:30.580
looked at let's look at this investigation. It's been constant leaks and lies out of the out of the Justice
00:17:37.060
Department. They did this home raid to get back these damning crossfire hurricane records. And then they didn't expect the
00:17:43.620
political blowback. Right. So then Attorney General Merrick Garland leaked out to Newsweek that he did not
00:17:49.460
personally authorize this home raid. That was a lie. He clearly authorized this home raid. He admitted it.
00:17:55.300
Then they tried to justify this home raid politically by saying that Trump had nuclear documents at Mar-a-Lago.
00:18:01.700
Complete bogus lie. There weren't Q classifications on the home raid inventory that they put out, the affidavit that
00:18:09.140
they put out, anything that they put out. There's nothing that indicates Q level classifications. That was a lie.
00:18:14.980
They lied that that President Biden and his White House were not involved with this raid. That's clearly a lie.
00:18:23.060
President Biden had to waive President Trump's claim of executive privilege. President Biden did that through his
00:18:29.620
deputy White House counsel to the president, Jonathan Suh, and that paved the way for this home raid. It's been
00:18:34.900
constant lies and leaks. They've even leaked to Newsweek illegally from the grand jury. And so I think
00:18:40.820
that's why if you look at this order from Judge Cannon, she stepped into appoint a special master
00:18:46.740
and she cited when she did this, the swirling allegations of bias and media leaks. That goes to
00:18:51.780
the bias magistrate, Judge Bruce Reinhardt, and the media leaks that are coming out of the Biden justice
00:18:57.940
department, even after they're saying that this affidavit is so damning, this affidavit that
00:19:03.300
the bias magistrate, Judge Bruce Reinhardt signed off on was so damning that the public can't see it. Yet
00:19:09.780
they're selectively leaking from this affidavit and from the grand jury illegally to try to build their case in
00:19:15.860
the court of public public opinion because they know they do not have a legal case.
00:19:21.460
As you describe it, the Biden administration looks to be desperate. There appears to be every
00:19:28.820
every every possibility that they have reason to be desperate. One is you mentioned the Bruce
00:19:34.900
Reinhardt recusal from the Trump President Trump lawsuit against Clinton and the government and
00:19:43.860
various named officials, which is really moving ahead. I think that surprised also the Biden
00:19:51.220
administration. Secondly, we know that, again, for a fact, the Justice Department now has been caught.
00:20:03.460
The FBI has been caught. We know that they have committed to me what are straightforward crimes. I
00:20:10.660
can't cite you U.S. code. But if there isn't a law against sitting on a tax evasion case for four years,
00:20:20.340
as the U.S. Attorney in Delaware has done with Hunter Biden, if there isn't a case that can't be
00:20:26.820
brought against an attorney general by the name of Bill Barr, who just simply decided that he would
00:20:35.700
intervene in an election. He, by the way, described his decision to intervene as non-intervention when he
00:20:41.060
brought down a hammer on the national corporate media on the story of that laptop that was,
00:20:49.700
according to the intelligence agencies, pure disinformation. We now know it was pure bull
00:20:56.660
on the part of those 51 so-called veterans of intelligence. They were absolutely criminal in
00:21:04.020
their cover-up for a felonious crime family by the name of Biden. Your thoughts?
00:21:11.700
Yeah, I've been so disappointed in a former Attorney General Bill Barr. I actually, when I was
00:21:18.500
Senator Chuck Grassley, then Chairman Chuck Grassley's chief counsel for nominations on the
00:21:23.220
Senate Judiciary Committee, we ran Bill Barr's confirmation hearing. And I thought he would be
00:21:30.100
good. I thought he would go in there and actually clean up the Justice Department. And he has been so
00:21:34.660
disappointing. Remember, he sat by for six months from June of 2020 through December of 2020 and let
00:21:42.420
BLM and Antifa destroy American cities. They killed dozens of people. They caused billions of dollars
00:21:49.140
in damage. They destroyed American cities. They attacked the police. He didn't do a damn thing
00:21:54.020
about it, or he did very little about it. He was just such a weak and ineffective Attorney General.
00:22:01.060
He would go out there and say the right things to the media and sound tough. But at the end of the day,
00:22:07.220
he was just a paper tiger. He didn't do a damn thing. And he didn't do anything to reform that deep
00:22:12.500
state. The deep state ran him. And he's just such a huge disappointment. And for him to come out here
00:22:19.860
and make these legal pronouncements that what Trump did was so illegal and unprecedented,
00:22:26.260
it is so it is so incorrect, actually, and as a matter of law. And it's so disappointing. It's very
00:22:33.620
clear that Bill Barr is just bitter. And he's trying to peddle his new book.
00:22:39.220
I think certainly both of those are likely motivations, but I think that there is a third.
00:22:46.420
And it seems to me to be the one most supported by what I think is the evidence. And that is that
00:22:55.540
a man who decided as Attorney General, as you pointed out, the chief law enforcement officer in
00:23:00.420
the land doesn't do a damn thing about Antifa, Black Lives Matter, their destruction,
00:23:07.540
and almost wholesale in a number of cities across the country. But he also said famously that the
00:23:16.980
Justice Department was, in fact, spying on Donald Trump. Remember, he said that they didn't want him
00:23:24.500
to use that word in the hearing. But he said they are spying. He did nothing to bring the Department of
00:23:32.900
Justice or the FBI to heel forth. There was no accountability. He also said in October that
00:23:42.580
he knew that President Vice, the former Vice President, Joe Biden was lying in the second and
00:23:49.780
final debate of the presidential debates in 2020, but decided not to intervene because that would have
00:23:57.220
had some influence on the outcome of the election, as if the lies that he permitted to be told didn't.
00:24:03.060
While he was simultaneously sending out FBI agents to corporate media, big tech, social media,
00:24:09.940
telling them not to touch the Biden laptop story, because it could well be Russian disinformation,
00:24:20.900
Yeah, I mean, it's it's very, the unit party always sticks together in DC.
00:24:26.340
Bill Barr, I think Bill Barr, I mean, he was just so disappointing in so many ways that he,
00:24:34.180
he, he, he talked a big game, he talked tough. And at the end of the day, he is, you know, he was a,
00:24:41.460
he was someone who did not want to upset the apple cart when it comes to the DC swamp, the unit party,
00:24:48.340
and he was unwilling to do the things that needed to be done to stop the frauds within the Justice
00:24:55.060
Department on Russian collusion. And on so many other matters that were so important to our national
00:25:01.540
security, he was a failed attorney general, it was a second, it was a second time as attorney general,
00:25:06.420
and it was a failure for him. Let me ask you this is, is we're looking at this six years
00:25:12.340
of political persecution. And you mentioned going back to July of 2016, President Trump, then a
00:25:18.980
candidate, the effort to frame his soon to be national security advisor, General Michael Flynn.
00:25:28.020
That begins in earnest. We then see through crossfire hurricane, the Russian hoax expand. We know the
00:25:35.300
origins, the Clinton campaign, the Democrat national committee with a sky in a step in the, in the law
00:25:44.500
offices of Perkins Coy. No one makes a big deal of it. I haven't heard another single law firm say,
00:25:50.580
hey, we have one, two, whether Republican or Democrat. I know of no Republican law firms,
00:25:55.700
by the way, they all seem now to be big law seems to be entirely left wing. What are, what are we to think?
00:26:03.380
There is no apparent mechanism within our Constitution or the law or our culture that says, you know,
00:26:12.580
we obviously have a man in the White House right now who has, who is the leader of a crime family,
00:26:20.260
who, who is in the White House illegitimately and through the purposeful lies of what was an
00:26:27.140
obvious cover up by the Justice Department, the FBI and the Marxist Dems who lead the Democratic Party.
00:26:33.780
We have no way to stop this ongoing cover up and this corrupt presidency.
00:26:42.900
Well, actually, Lou, I do think there's a way, and this is where conservatives, Republicans,
00:26:47.380
right-linging independents need to, we need to come together this November and we have to elect
00:26:53.060
a Republican House and a Republican Senate. So even if some of these candidates were not our picks
00:26:59.220
during the primary, it is critical that we come together and win back the House and the Senate,
00:27:04.420
because we have to have a critical check on the Biden administration. If you put my former boss,
00:27:10.900
Chuck Grassley, back as the Senate Judiciary Committee chairman, he will get to the bottom of
00:27:15.780
this. He's the one who exposed the Russian collusion hoax the first time, right? And if you make him the
00:27:21.060
Senate, he is the best oversight person we've ever had in congressional history. And he has the best
00:27:27.620
congressional oversight team on Capitol Hill. You put Republicans in charge of the Senate,
00:27:33.540
my former boss, Chuck Grassley becomes the Senate Judiciary Committee chairman again,
00:27:37.300
and he will absolutely get to the bottom of this. There are many political graves over the last four
00:27:44.660
decades because of Chuck Grassley. Chuck Grassley has long been suspicious of the FBI. He knows that the
00:27:50.660
FBI leadership has been corrupted for decades. And you'll see Chuck Grassley doing aggressive
00:27:58.260
oversight and making sure that there are serious, meaningful reforms of the FBI so this never happens
00:28:04.100
again. I have a high regard, as you do, obviously, of Senator Chuck Grassley. But I also have a fairly
00:28:12.340
clear memory as to what happened when the Republican Party held both houses, the Senate and the House knew exactly what
00:28:22.980
was happening with Crossfire Hurricane. We had Devin Nunes as the chair of the House Intel Committee pursuing that
00:28:30.900
truth. He was stymied by Paul. I have hard Paul Ryan. I have a hard time even saying his name. He is an absolute
00:28:45.460
traitor to the country. And he stopped all of those subpoenas. And we have Mitch McConnell now as the majority, the minority
00:28:54.420
leader in the Senate. First of all, what makes you think that the leadership will not be any less craven
00:29:02.340
than then? And what makes you think that this will be a fair election? Because 2020 obviously was not.
00:29:10.260
Well, I mean, I get your point. And I will say this in the Senate anyway. The leadership doesn't run the
00:29:16.020
committees. The committee chairmen run the committees. Chuck Grassley doesn't report to anyone. So if he is the
00:29:20.740
committee chairman, he's going to run his committee however he wants. And he's not going to give a damn
00:29:24.860
what the committee, what the Senate leadership tells him to do. That's been his style. He's been
00:29:29.340
independent for, you know, the last four decades. And that's not going to change it. He was independent
00:29:34.420
when he was the Senate Judiciary Committee chairman before. That's how he was able to blow open the
00:29:39.180
Russian collusion hoax. And that's how he was able to confirm a record number of President Trump's
00:29:44.820
judicial nominees. It's also how he was able to get other key legislation done over leadership's
00:29:55.700
Well, I would say this about elections. These states need to get serious about voter integrity.
00:30:03.300
I've done volunteer legal. I've been a volunteer lawyer for the Republican Party for five election
00:30:09.100
cycles when they had all mail ballots. And the key for this is we need to make it where you don't just
00:30:14.740
mass mail ballots out to voter lists. You have to, if you, if you can't vote on election day for some reason,
00:30:20.180
you should have to at least request a ballot. So you have to, you have to request the ballot.
00:30:25.340
It's not just a live ballot mailed out to old voter list where people have died, college students have
00:30:30.660
moved. And the one way you stop fraud, the key way to stop voter fraud with these mail ballots is you
00:30:36.460
have to have signature verification, and you have to have election observers. And the Democrats
00:30:40.940
used COVID to mass mail ballots out to the entire country with all these old voter lists. They had all
00:30:47.360
these live ballots out there. They got rid of signature verification. They turned down the machine. So
00:30:52.760
signature verification was meaningless. And then they said that Republican election observers couldn't be
00:30:58.500
there because of the COVID, which is just complete nonsense. That's how they stole the election list
00:31:04.820
through, through that path. What needs to happen this time is Republicans not need to stop being
00:31:09.360
stupid. We need to invest in the legal effort. We need to get injunctions weeks ahead of time. So we can
00:31:15.900
make sure in these key states that this never happens again, that they cannot make it where signature
00:31:21.140
verification is meaningless, and they cannot throw out our election observers.
00:31:24.280
Well, I will say this. I think going into this election, we're what, about just under two months
00:31:34.860
away. It's too late to do much now. Very few states have reformed their mail-in ballots and processes.
00:31:45.520
And signature verification and voter ID, voter ID would solve a lot of problems. But we just keep pushing
00:31:53.520
this thing down at the Republican Party. It seems like an eager victim to the Marxist Dems. And I really
00:32:03.680
find that astonishing. Ronald McDaniel, a terrific person, but she is a lousy RNC chair, and she lost an election
00:32:11.780
because she was not diligent. She did not have lawyers. I mean, for crying out loud, she didn't have them in the
00:32:17.280
places that we knew where they'd be the most needed. That is, battleground states and, of course,
00:32:22.800
Philadelphia, for example. We know things are going to be upside down there.
00:32:27.640
But it didn't matter. And we didn't have observers. We didn't have poll watchers.
00:32:32.560
We had poll watchers who were told they couldn't go in, and so they didn't. And that was the end of the story.
00:32:37.920
It wasn't a fair fight, either in terms of intellectual quotient or physical assertion.
00:32:51.120
So I would say that I agree with you, Lou, that the Republican Party needs to invest in the legal
00:32:56.300
effort. The Democrats are so much better at this than we are. They understand, the Democrats understand
00:33:03.260
that it's election month, not election day. Republicans think that we're going to show up
00:33:08.380
on election day with our election observers and stop fraud and irregularities. The election is
00:33:14.060
already stolen by election day. We need to have lawyers, injunction observers in place for six,
00:33:21.380
eight weeks before the election. Otherwise, you're not going to stop this.
00:33:26.660
So where are they? Do you think any of them are going to be there? Do you think there's going to be?
00:33:31.880
And the reason I'm asking this is for the obvious reason, Mike. You talked about we've got to go out
00:33:36.480
and vote. That is the only solution that we've got to what is rampant, obvious, and in-our-face
00:33:43.660
corruption on the part of this president. He should be in a jail cell, not in the Oval Office. And you
00:33:50.420
and I both know that. So does most of the country. But we have to hope that we can get by the Republican
00:33:58.760
Party and actually get luck out and the left won't steal another election. That seems to me to be a
00:34:06.140
poor strategic posture. No, I understand, Lou, but we are going to lose our if we lose this midterm
00:34:13.060
election, Biden's going to transform the entire federal judiciary. If they keep the Senate, they're
00:34:17.920
going to keep doing their Marxist agenda. We're not going to have a country left. We have to get out
00:34:22.560
and vote this election. And if we come out with this red wave, this tsunami to wipe Democrats out
00:34:28.480
of power, you know, that will be enough to that wave will be big enough to overcome the Democrats
00:34:34.980
fraud every election. And we can win this thing and have a critical check on President Biden. I agree
00:34:40.880
with you. These states have done a horrific job with tightening up their voter laws to make sure that
00:34:46.660
that we that we that we make voter fraud as rare as possible. People should have to show up on
00:34:53.400
Election Day with an ID if they want to vote. And if they can't show up on Election Day, they need to
00:34:59.020
you know, they need to have an excuse. It can't be no excuse. Mail life ballots out to the whole voter
00:35:05.120
list and they get two months to vote. That that is just an invitation for voter fraud. And that
00:35:11.000
invitation hasn't been withdrawn, though, by the Republican Party. We have very few states that have
00:35:16.260
reformed their election laws. There are there are a handful. But my gosh, they're Mark Elias is
00:35:24.600
licking his chops. He has got to be standing over the cauldron into which he works his legal potions
00:35:33.940
thinking, you know, he's got to be dreaming big this election because he knows this is for all the
00:35:40.100
marbles. Well, I agree with you, Lou, and I would say that Republicans, particularly Republican,
00:35:46.560
politicians are weak and stupid. And we need to start thinking like Democrats do. All they care
00:35:51.320
about is power. They're Marxist. They're godless. Their religion, their their goal or God is power.
00:35:56.440
Their religion or strategy is Marxism and their tactics or their religious sex is division. And so,
00:36:03.520
you know, we need to start fighting fire with fire. We need to start fighting back. We need to start
00:36:07.920
winning these elections. And that makes part of that is making sure that we change the laws to make it
00:36:14.120
impossible for Democrats to steal these elections. Mike Davis, we thank you very much for being with
00:36:21.080
us. You've been terrific. We always give our guests the last word. Your concluding thoughts,
00:36:26.560
if you will, Mike. Well, I would just say I think it's so important that Republicans and
00:36:31.940
conservatives get out there and vote this November, because if they don't, we're going to lose our
00:36:36.720
country to the Marxist left. Succinct. And I couldn't agree with you more. Thank you so much.
00:36:45.020
Mike, I hope you'll come back soon. And I hope you'll also pick up the phone and call Ronna
00:36:49.340
McDaniels and tell her you're available to to run her legal operation nationwide over the course of
00:36:56.900
the next two months. Mike, thanks so much for being with us. And God bless you. Thank you.
00:37:01.700
Thank you, Lou. Mike Davis. Great to have you on The Great America Show. Keep up the great work
00:37:06.900
and come back soon. Thank you all for being with us today. Our guest tomorrow will be Mike Lindell,
00:37:13.740
trying for all he's worth to straighten out our mess of an election system. Mike Lindell,
00:37:19.860
Patriot Great American, here tomorrow. Please be with us. Till then, God bless you.
