The Great America Show - EUROPE IS THRILLED THAT AMERICA HAS A WEAK, SOFT, INEPT PRESIDENT…BIDEN’S THEIR MAN

00:00:00.000 Hello, everybody. I'm Lou Dobbs. President Biden is a source of constant embarrassment on the best

00:00:06.500 of days, but his time spent in Belgium and Poland worked the best of days. The White House had to

00:00:13.240 work overtime with their Biden shovels, cleaning up all the messes he made in Europe over the past

00:00:19.120 several days. First, in Brussels, when he declared the United States would respond in kind if Putin

00:00:26.120 were to use chemical weapons in Ukraine. His national security advisor had to explain America

00:00:32.180 won't use chemical weapons, that the president meant the United States would respond, quote,

00:00:38.520 accordingly, end quote. In Poland, the White House had to explain the president didn't mean to tell

00:00:45.400 our soldiers of the 82nd Airborne that they would actually be in Ukraine, witnessing the strength

00:00:52.000 and courage of the Ukrainians as they fight the Russians, explaining that American troops will

00:00:58.560 not be going to Ukraine to fight. Good to know. And President Biden concluded his last speech in

00:01:06.480 Poland, declaring, quote, for God's sake, this man cannot remain in power. Does that sound to you like

00:01:14.480 President Biden was calling for Vladimir Putin to be removed from office? Well, me too. But no.

00:01:21.540 And soon the Biden shovels were heard scraping up the mess he had just made. What appeared to be

00:01:28.180 Biden's call for regime change in Russia was actually, the White House insisted, only another

00:01:35.080 Biden blunder. And the White House almost immediately went into its well-accustomed damage control and

00:01:41.920 correction mode, denying that President Biden was calling for regime change, only saying Putin can't

00:01:48.920 exert power over the region. You buy that, don't you? Yes, me too. And the correction is clearly not

00:01:56.700 artful or believable, but the media just nodding their compliant heads and moving on from what has

00:02:02.980 been an embarrassing series of blunders in this Biden boondoggle to Europe that is now mercifully

00:02:10.760 ended for the Euros with the president's return to the White House. That's right. The president's home and

00:02:18.180 every one of the corporate media journalists can return to coverage of his disastrous choice of a

00:02:24.740 leftist activist judge to sit on the Supreme Court, his authoritarian mandates and controls over the

00:02:31.720 people as the COVID has ebbed, of course, and he insists on keeping his National Emergencies Act powers

00:02:40.400 for as long as possible. He loves power, doesn't he? Vetoing the call to end the National Emergencies

00:02:48.840 Act and other skullduggery. Our guest with us today to take up all of this is the senior editor at large

00:02:55.920 at Breitbart News, attorney, conservative commentator, and author with us, Joel Pollack. Joel Pollack,

00:03:04.020 great to have you with us here on The Great America Show. I'd like to start with the president's

00:03:10.080 news conference at NATO and his remarkable statements about Charlottesville and putting

00:03:21.620 that out in a national security environment abroad. It was stunning. Your thoughts? Well, there's a

00:03:30.360 tradition that politics ends at the water's edge and you don't attack your opponents when you're

00:03:35.560 overseas representing the country, even if you are the president. And this was violated, I think,

00:03:41.420 really by Obama first and Trump went over the line a few times, but Biden didn't just attack his

00:03:46.980 opponents and his predecessor. He used a debunked lie, which we know is the Charlottesville very fine

00:03:53.800 people hoax, which falsely claims that Trump praised the neo-Nazis who rioted in Charlottesville,

00:03:59.560 Virginia, in 2017. In fact, Trump said they should be condemned totally. And that's the reality.

00:04:07.720 The hoax was debunked in the vice presidential debate by Mike Pence back in 2020. It was debunked

00:04:13.460 again in the Senate during the second impeachment trial. But Biden went there. And to say that

00:04:17.400 overseas, it's not just an attack on Trump. It's actually an attack on America, because what he's

00:04:21.860 saying is that America is beset by these neo-Nazis. To go overseas and say that, it's really just

00:04:26.140 extraordinary. And did it look to you as he started this remark, was that question about Trump a plant,

00:04:37.900 do you think? No, I think that the European reporter who asked the question reflects the elite opinion

00:04:46.840 in Europe, which is that Trump was a problem because he put pressure on NATO members to live

00:04:53.200 up to their commitments to spend 2% of gross domestic product on defense. I thought that

00:04:58.260 view was rather disfavored because Germany now, seeing that Russia has actually invaded Ukraine,

00:05:05.140 has finally agreed to live up to their commitment. They're going to be spending 2% of gross domestic

00:05:09.680 product on defense the way Trump tried to get them to. Maybe if they'd listened to Trump, Russia would

00:05:13.400 never have invaded Ukraine. But because the NATO members were so delinquent in their defense spending,

00:05:18.960 they now have Vladimir Putin knocking on the door of NATO, invading Ukraine and so forth. So I thought

00:05:25.740 that this skepticism of Trump was rather outdated. In fact, recent events, I think, have proven his

00:05:31.220 approach to be rather prescient. But they want Biden, they want the soft American leader who doesn't ask

00:05:38.080 too much of them, who keeps sending American troops and American resources and allows Europeans to live 1.00

00:05:42.640 with their expensive social welfare systems. And when Russia invades, they ask America for help. 0.96

00:05:47.920 And that's how they prefer it. It's comfortable. But I thought it went out the window when Russian tanks

00:05:54.300 encircled Kiev. I don't know. But anyway, that was the place the question was coming from. It was really coming

00:05:59.780 from that old European elite opinion.

00:06:02.080 And when Germany started shipping weapons to Ukraine, that's when I thought maybe that mode had been broken.

00:06:12.060 But the reality is that Trump was right. To me, it's unambiguous. It's straightforward. NATO would be in a far better

00:06:22.160 position today. And I don't believe Ukraine, I agree with you, would have been invaded by Russia had NATO been strong

00:06:29.740 and ready for anything. And right now they are scurrying to try to figure out how to cover their eastern flank, the eastern

00:06:38.060 flank nations of NATO. And they really are at a loss for contingency strategic responses. That in itself, Jules,

00:06:48.440 surprises me. That this defense alliance, NATO, is not prepared to defend Europe. Doesn't that shock you?

00:06:59.700 It's shocking. And yet this is what Trump was warning about. When Trump said NATO seems to have a lot of money

00:07:05.320 to spend on a fancy headquarters in Brussels, but it doesn't have enough money to do what it's supposed

00:07:09.360 to do. And then it wants America to foot the bill for the really important stuff. That's what he was

00:07:13.500 getting at. And, you know, Trump's foreign policy was condemned by all the geniuses in Washington and

00:07:22.480 in Brussels. But he was he was right. And now you see the result. And so there is no policy in NATO.

00:07:30.500 So and there's no Biden administration policy to come out of this with any kind of advantage. I

00:07:35.500 mean, the way I explain it to people is that Biden decided to begin this chess game by choosing the

00:07:39.740 black pieces, which moved second. So Biden's always reacting to what Vladimir Putin does.

00:07:45.060 And, you know, if you know chess, you know that when two grandmasters play, usually the player with the

00:07:49.640 black pieces doesn't try to win. Player with the black pieces tries to draw, maybe force the player with

00:07:55.480 the white pieces into some kind of blunder. But you're not playing to win. You're just playing to draw

00:07:59.320 at best and to keep the game going as long as possible. With Trump, he always had the white

00:08:04.520 pieces. He was always moving first, always had his opponent trying to guess what he was going to do

00:08:08.620 next. Now we're in the same position vis-a-vis Putin. We are allowing Putin to take the initiative. 0.68

00:08:12.900 We're always guessing what he's going to do next. And amazingly, Biden and the Biden administration and

00:08:18.440 all the intelligence agencies and everything, they keep telling the world that we have no idea what

00:08:21.480 Putin is going to do, which itself is sort of a weird thing to say. But that's the position he's put us

00:08:26.100 in. And it was a choice. It wasn't something that just happened. Biden chose that strategy.

00:08:31.600 You know, you give Biden great credit. I personally, Joel, believe that this man hasn't given a thought

00:08:37.920 to the strategic advantages that he possesses or lacks. And I do believe you're absolutely correct

00:08:47.780 about him being reactive. But I don't really think there's as much conscious thought on his part

00:08:54.500 into that as it is simply instinctive on his part. President Trump, by the way, was a counterpuncher.

00:09:02.760 He would play black on the uppermost level of the chessboard. And then the other two dimensions,

00:09:09.440 he would be wailing and absolutely correct in his judgments about whether it be balanced trade,

00:09:16.280 whether it be strategic weight in Eastern Europe. He was absolutely right. He was absolutely right

00:09:24.100 about China. And no one is talking about China now. Have you noticed that? Here is the strategic

00:09:30.400 partner of this run, this absolute monster that Vladimir Putin has revealed. And no one's talking

00:09:42.120 about the reticence of Xi Jinping to condemn him. No one is talking about the importance of his

00:09:49.780 providing a buffer against sanctions and standing shoulder to shoulder with this monster. Why not?

00:09:58.620 Well, it's very, very interesting. And here we have to look not just at the ideological orientation of

00:10:05.280 the Biden administration, but at some of the personal financial interests of the Biden family.

00:10:08.960 And this is what my colleague Peter Schweitzer has exposed in his book Red Handed. And this is really about

00:10:15.060 the Chinese Communist Party being able to influence American politicians and American

00:10:19.800 corporations through its financial pressure. And in the case of Hunter Biden, through direct business

00:10:25.600 dealings. This should have come out clearly into the American mainstream media before the 2020

00:10:30.920 election. The New York Times recently admitted that Hunter Biden's laptop was real, that the stories

00:10:36.600 coming out of that laptop were legitimate. And that's the end. The media now think that they have

00:10:41.480 atoned for their past sin of suppressing that story. And they're not following up any of the leads.

00:10:45.660 Biden's connection with Chinese companies, 10% of a joint venture apparently set aside for

00:10:51.380 former Vice President Biden. So we don't know anything more than we knew, except that the media now are

00:10:57.180 admitting it was all true, at least what we knew at the time. But the American public should have had that

00:11:01.060 information when they went to vote. They should have known that Joe Biden was deeply, deeply in the

00:11:04.420 pockets of the Chinese Communist Party. And that's why you're not seeing a focus on China, because

00:11:08.660 Biden came into office with the stated ideological commitment to the idea that China was not a rival,

00:11:15.060 but a competitor. And we could have friendly relations. I think that went out the window over

00:11:19.840 the last several years. And we need to take China much more seriously, but we're not.

00:11:24.640 We are a nation right now so dependent upon China that any move we would make offensively militarily 0.80

00:11:34.840 would result in great scarcity and great difficulty for this economy and for our society. And no one

00:11:43.600 wants to say that out loud, do they?

00:11:45.900 No, they don't. And this is part of the problem. We've also hemmed ourselves in by cutting off our

00:11:52.100 energy industry, by cutting down American manufacturing. There has been a movement,

00:11:59.420 perhaps a grudging realization that Trump was right about these things. You're starting to see

00:12:03.260 the Biden administration talk about some of the things Trump talked about, like producing goods

00:12:06.980 in America, fixing our supply chains, making sure that we can produce computer chips and pharmaceuticals

00:12:13.860 and so forth. But there really hasn't been a commitment. You know, and the Biden people like this

00:12:19.000 phrase, whole of government, they have a whole of government approach to this problem and that

00:12:22.540 problem. We've yet to see a whole of government approach to the challenge that China poses.

00:12:27.120 And let's just talk about one of those challenges specifically, which is fentanyl.

00:12:30.700 You know, we have tens of thousands of Americans dying every year from this. This is not a recreational

00:12:35.620 drug in the way that others are. People often are exposed to it, thinking they're taking some other

00:12:41.520 drug and so forth. It's incredibly deadly. And I was talking to someone recently who said that

00:12:46.600 they've treated patients who have struggled with opiates and with fentanyl. And it's almost like

00:12:51.960 it replaces their brains. I mean, this is a drug that people find impossible to resist. And it's

00:12:57.140 deadly in not even very large doses. And China is manufacturing it and it's getting across our 0.85

00:13:03.240 southern border and getting in through other ways. And we don't have any kind of seriousness from the

00:13:07.980 Biden administration in fighting it. I mean, Trump started the fight. I think he could have done more,

00:13:11.700 but he never had any support from the Democrats. And now they've just opened the southern border.

00:13:16.340 So we have this deadly attack on our society manufactured in China coming through the southern 1.00

00:13:21.840 border and other ports of entry. And we're not seeing any attempt to deal with it, but it's

00:13:27.380 destroying a generation of Americans. 0.61

00:13:28.860 Do you recall when President Trump stepped into the Oval Office in 2017 and he immediately declared

00:13:36.900 war on the cartels? And you were, it was a rallying cry and it was a commitment and he followed through

00:13:44.420 on it, but not with the same, you know, reaction from other parts of government. You're talking about

00:13:52.120 whole government, whole government went quiet, quiescence prevailed. And none of the Homeland Security

00:14:00.360 didn't say a word. The Border Patrol didn't say a word. The FBI, the Justice Department,

00:14:06.160 the State Department all went radio silent and never did you hear a single agency, a single

00:14:14.060 department. Yeah. Well, you hit the nail on the head when Trump came in and declared war on the

00:14:18.160 cartels. The State Department pushed back because declaring war on the cartels meant upsetting

00:14:23.380 certain interests in Mexico with which the United States has commercial ties. And so Trump was never

00:14:29.380 allowed really to do what was necessary to fight the cartels because there were important interests,

00:14:35.160 both in the private sector and in the federal government that did not want him to do that.

00:14:40.740 He had to fight his own government. He even had to fight his own party on the issue of the border wall

00:14:44.720 because Republicans in Congress, even with control of both houses, were very reluctant to approve

00:14:49.200 funding for it and they couldn't get past some of the Democratic opposition in the Senate either. So,

00:14:55.520 you know, this, this has been a problem from the beginning and I don't know how we undo the damage

00:15:01.000 very easily now that Biden's caused with nearly two million people coming across the border since

00:15:05.040 he took office. It's just a non-issue for the Washington press corps. You know, you mentioned

00:15:08.120 the media. They have White House press briefings almost every day and almost nobody ever asks about

00:15:13.760 this. I mean, the Fox people do a pretty good job of challenging on the issue of the day, but

00:15:17.360 this issue is every day and, and somehow it's not a crisis. Yeah. Somehow it's not a crisis because the,

00:15:24.400 these are, let's be clear. There is no independent news organization being represented in the White

00:15:33.280 House press corps that's going to be engaged with the president, at least. It's really stunning to

00:15:38.520 see what, what a scary, cowardly society we have now in the face of this brute power from corporate

00:15:49.180 America and a government that is weaponized against the American citizen. Yeah. And I think

00:15:55.980 people are starting to realize that if they want a government that's responsive to them, they're

00:16:02.120 going to have to vote for something other than what they've got. And this is true of Democrats as

00:16:08.700 well. I mean, I think there are a lot of people look at the Hispanic community, for example, which has

00:16:12.860 seen absolutely nothing from Democrats and especially the border counties in Texas. There are some

00:16:18.740 predominantly Latino counties there that are moving into the Republican column because they're

00:16:23.460 seeing firsthand what the border crisis is about. Um, but you know, here in California where I am,

00:16:28.040 the Hispanic community has the same concerns as most working class Americans do education, jobs,

00:16:35.460 healthcare, and they're seeing the school systems destroyed by the teachers unions, which control the

00:16:40.640 Democratic party. They're seeing California regulations and taxes drive out industry, making everything more

00:16:46.700 expensive. The inflation issue is huge. So people are starting to realize, I think that the Democratic

00:16:52.340 party is connected to the policies that are making their lives more expensive and more difficult.

00:16:57.000 And I think that's, what's fueling the backlash. You can almost leave out what the Republican platform

00:17:03.060 is going to be in 2022 because the dissatisfaction with what people are getting from the Democratic

00:17:07.480 party is almost the campaign in itself. We're going to be very fortunate to have a party that insists on

00:17:13.980 the security and the integrity of our electoral system and works toward that end from now until

00:17:22.060 the November of this year in the midterm elections. I don't see the Republican party doing anything.

00:17:27.780 The Democratic party, uh, have different interests and therefore will not be doing anything to secure,

00:17:33.060 uh, lock boxes, uh, to remove them from this, uh, from this election. Uh, they want to perpetuate the idea

00:17:41.060 that, uh, the BA to a variant of Omicron, uh, is a serious and deadly and frightening surge, uh, of a virus

00:17:50.600 that is going to require us to remain in a national emergency. So says the president, uh, you know, through

00:17:57.400 at least the midterms, the American people are not right now, sufficiently awakened, forget a woke. They're not

00:18:05.720 awakened to the reality that the Democratic party, the radical left in this country are Marxist. They

00:18:13.440 are undermining and subverting this country, our government, uh, and our, uh, our elected officials.

00:18:21.280 It is stunning stuff. The degree to which, uh, America's society right now is slumbering through what

00:18:29.380 is a devastating takeover, uh, of the, of the national, uh, the national institutions.

00:18:38.000 Yeah. And, you know, I was speaking to people this week about those institutions, the most important

00:18:43.320 one that they are trying to take over is the educational institutions. And that came up in a

00:18:50.060 very alarming way during the confirmation hearings of judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, who of course has been

00:18:56.260 nominated to serve in the Supreme court. And, and Ted Cruz asked her in a very fascinating exchange,

00:19:01.660 he asked her whether she thought critical race theory, the idea that America is fundamentally

00:19:06.620 racist and that racism is inherent in our institutions. He asked her whether it should be taught in schools

00:19:11.240 or whether it was taught in schools. And she said she didn't think it was taught in schools at all.

00:19:15.840 And then he showed that it was taught in her school, the school in Georgetown, Georgetown day school,

00:19:21.880 a private school on which she's a board member. So he's,

00:19:26.260 that was embarrassing for her and she had to walk it back and say, Oh no, I thought you meant just

00:19:29.900 public schools and so forth. But Ted Cruz then produced a series of visual aids, little posters

00:19:35.140 that were selections from a book by Ibram Kendi, one of the critical race theory ideologues who makes

00:19:41.740 a pretty good living apparently from giving lectures to corporations and universities and things like

00:19:46.860 that about this radical theory. And the book is called anti-racist baby. And you see the

00:19:52.460 illustrations of a baby talking about race and pointing to a little board with baby letters on it

00:19:59.900 that spell the word race. I mean, it's, it's so disturbing and, and that's, what's happening in

00:20:05.340 our institutions. And it isn't just happening at law schools and college classrooms. It's, it's happening

00:20:10.440 in this case in the pre-K level. I mean, it's happening with the earliest children.

00:20:16.340 Yeah. It's happening in that school. Uh, and the board member is what this president wants to,

00:20:26.200 they want her to be promoted to the U S Supreme court. And she lied about her capacity to do 1.00

00:20:35.560 anything to influence CRT in the curricula. She's lying her way through this. And that has become 0.98

00:20:42.260 the default, default initiative of the left in this country. Lie, lie, subvert and subvert and

00:20:52.800 seize control. And they are, they are this close, uh, to, to achieving absolute success. Uh, don't you

00:21:02.980 agree? They are, they are, but you know, Americans are stepping up. We saw in the 2021 off year elections

00:21:08.900 in Virginia, New Jersey, they're stepping up. They elected Glenn Youngkin who promised to oppose

00:21:13.900 critical race theory in the schools. They elected a truck driver in New Jersey who defeated the

00:21:19.040 incumbent democratic state Senate president. So people are waking up and I hope it continues.

00:21:26.660 I hope Republicans continue to talk about these issues, particularly the schools. You know,

00:21:31.120 the most important voting block that came out in 2021 for Republicans was suburban moms. 1.00

00:21:35.240 And many of them had voted for Biden in 2020. Despite everyone being told exactly the opposite

00:21:41.980 that Trump could never, and the Republican party could never, ever again, count on, uh, the suburban

00:21:49.680 mothers. Right. So they came out in droves and I think they're going to stay on the Republican side,

00:21:57.760 at least for these midterms and possibly for 2024. They, they have seen firsthand the cost of

00:22:02.600 democratic party policies, not just in terms of critical race theory and the transgender ideology

00:22:07.500 being forced on people. And by the way, I have no problem with people living transgender lifestyles 0.99

00:22:12.420 as adults. I think live and let live, it's fine, but telling kids that there are no men and no women,

00:22:17.680 no boys, no girls, you know, Ketanji Brown Jackson couldn't define the word woman. She claimed to be an 1.00

00:22:22.980 originalist. I mean, she was explaining to Senator John Cornyn and to others that she believes in

00:22:28.940 interpreting the constitution based on the words in the constitution first. So she's trying to

00:22:33.260 pose as some kind of legal conservative, but when it comes to a word like woman, she won't say what 1.00

00:22:37.420 it is. So, you know, your originalism can't be very good. If you can't define a word like woman,

00:22:41.420 I mean, it's practically the first word in the Bible, you know, in the beginning, God created man

00:22:45.560 and woman. I mean, it's right there. So, and if you're sitting in that chair, because you are a black 1.00

00:22:50.480 woman, as the president of the United States himself said, you would think that she of all people

00:22:55.720 would understand the definition of woman, particularly in that context.

00:23:02.900 That's right. In the sense that every other five minutes we were being told, we were being told

00:23:07.340 that it was very important to celebrate her achievement as a black woman. And she was asked

00:23:13.360 specifically by Dianne Feinstein about what it meant to be a woman up for this nomination and how it

00:23:19.600 would feel to be the fourth woman on the court, almost achieving gender parity. So we're celebrating

00:23:23.900 her woman-ness, but then when she's asked what it means to be a woman, she says, well, I don't know

00:23:29.020 what that means. So what it means is, I guess you get to be on the Supreme Court. I don't know if it

00:23:34.080 means anything more than that to her.

00:23:36.280 I have to say that if this woman is, does make it to the Supreme Court, God help America. There is an 0.97

00:23:45.620 issue of, there is a tremendous issue here of her integrity, her honesty, and certainly her knowledge.

00:23:55.340 For her to say she did not, does not remember fully the Dred Scott decision of 1857,

00:24:05.020 in which the Supreme Court ruled that Americans of African descent were not citizens,

00:24:12.940 and the impact of that, and the importance of the 14th Amendment, which three years after the Civil

00:24:21.140 War overturned Dred Scott. I mean, it was a stunning, mad moment. She doesn't know how to define woman.

00:24:31.600 Well, the importance of, you know, let's talk about Dred Scott for a minute here. The reason it came up

00:24:37.220 was that John Cornyn, the senator from Texas, pointed out that the substantive due process

00:24:43.300 doctrine that she was upholding as a way to read new rights into the Constitution that weren't 0.97

00:24:50.080 specifically there, gave the judges so much leeway that if you gave judges that much power, they could do

00:24:55.860 what they did in the Dred Scott case, which was to effectively legalize slavery by usurping

00:25:03.620 this authority to read things into the Constitution that weren't there. So it's recognized today as

00:25:10.280 one of the worst decisions ever made by the Supreme Court. But, you know, once you give judges

00:25:15.340 discretion, they don't just use it for good things and nice things. They use it for terrible things.

00:25:20.180 And I can think even of other cases recently, you know, the infamous property rights case,

00:25:25.540 Kelo versus New London, where the Supreme Court, you know, to its discredit, allowed the city

00:25:33.200 council in a Connecticut town to seize private property for the benefit of a private developer.

00:25:38.000 I mean, a lot of people will tell you that was a terrible case. This is a court that is intellectually

00:25:42.840 deficient, as the courts for the last 20 years have been, really. It is, it's really an awful thing to

00:25:53.020 contemplate that we would be putting another person of inadequate, even competent skills and

00:26:02.700 learning and just plain mind power into a position for her to be able to sit there and pretend she's 0.80

00:26:14.240 an originalist without remarks from the from the conservatives and the Republicans.

00:26:19.260 And I think that the other problem she had, of course, major issue this week was about her

00:26:23.720 sentencing record on child pornography cases. You know, she never could adequately explain

00:26:28.980 that. And I think it is because of a generally soft approach to crime, a discomfort with punitive

00:26:35.040 measures. And that's part of her philosophy. I mean, she's a defense lawyer, and that's fine. We need we need

00:26:41.020 great defense lawyers. But I think her instinct in these cases was to what was to be lenient when the

00:26:47.960 law and the prosecutors and the circumstances of the crime suggested very harsh sentences.

00:26:52.420 Ted Cruz referred to her sentencing in some of those cases as simply a slap on the wrist for

00:26:59.020 predators, the child pornographers. It is, it's appalling. And her inherent sense of privilege 0.99

00:27:09.660 to decline to decline to answer because she is a woman. She is black. She has special privileges. 1.00

00:27:17.800 And you will not cross that line with her. Ted Cruz did so with abandon and good for him.

00:27:24.840 He has been brilliant throughout, in my opinion. We have just received word, Joel, that President Trump

00:27:31.560 has filed a lawsuit against Hillary Clinton and other Democrats, alleging they tried to rig the 2016 U.S.

00:27:41.040 presidential election, tying his campaign to Russia. Acting, I'm quoting here, acting in concert,

00:27:48.340 the defendants maliciously conspired to weave a false narrative that their Republican opponent,

00:27:52.620 Donald J. Trump, was colluding with a hostile foreign sovereignty. The former president filing that

00:27:58.880 suit today. Your reaction? Well, you know, these suits don't tend to go very far, but it is a useful

00:28:05.160 talking point, I think, to push it back against some of the things that are being said and done

00:28:12.140 about him in 2020 and some of the media hysteria over charges that never materialized into anything.

00:28:19.820 And, you know, they keep pursuing him and pursuing him and pursuing him. So this is how he fights back.

00:28:23.800 And, you know, good for him. I mean, he's got to fight fire with fire and we need a fair contest in

00:28:30.200 2024. I do think he'll run and we need the playing field to be level. We need it to be fair. And I

00:28:35.840 guess in closing, I would say he's not going to be the only candidate. There are going to be many

00:28:40.480 candidates. I think Republican voters, conservative voters will have a choice, but he certainly is out of

00:28:45.400 the gate as the strongest candidate. And for all intents and purposes, he's the leader of the

00:28:49.940 opposition. I mean, he's out there even today still saying things that crystallize the conservative

00:28:55.980 viewpoint in a way nobody else can. So he's out there doing that every day. And I think I do think

00:29:01.100 voters appreciate that. More than half the country is desperate for his voice, for leadership and for

00:29:06.960 his strength in leadership, because there is so little leadership in the Republican Party. Mitch McConnell,

00:29:13.960 Kevin McCarthy, these are not leaders. Ronna McDaniel, not leaders, but they hold important

00:29:21.460 positions of power. This president, without a job, is doing an incredible job as still the standard

00:29:29.760 bearer for America First, which Americans now understand more clearly than ever, is an essential

00:29:36.940 primary value in any political candidate. And he is working to make certain, whether Congress or

00:29:43.900 whether the Senate or governor's offices, that America First plays prominently and bedrock

00:29:52.520 conservatism as a welcome place in this election. Your thoughts about that?

00:29:59.860 Well, I think the others are trying. I mean, I think they're in the fight in different ways, but

00:30:04.960 it is amazing how he is able to come up with the truth. You know, he always gets to the core of what

00:30:14.740 the issue is. And, you know, for example, with Russia invading Ukraine, I mean, Republicans are

00:30:19.640 still trying to figure out what their response should be. And the clarity Trump had about that

00:30:25.520 in understanding that if he was unpredictable, but forceful, if he showed he was willing to use force,

00:30:30.920 let's say, against Soleimani, the terrorist general from Iran, that would send a signal he wouldn't have

00:30:36.320 to go to war. Trump understood how to use power, and he also understands how to use rhetoric in a way

00:30:41.860 that ordered the world to America's advantage. And I think you're right in the sense that Republicans

00:30:46.700 still have to learn from that. I don't think Republicans have. I think they're trying, but they're not

00:30:50.000 quite there yet. Yeah. And I think, too, there is this continuing reluctance on part of the left, the

00:30:59.900 right, Democrats, Republicans, not to give the president his due. He was right. He was right. He was right.

00:31:06.280 And oh, yes. You know what else? It wasn't just instinct. It was intelligence. The man is far smarter than

00:31:13.800 even his friends give him credit for, let alone his enemies. And that intelligence, I think, will be

00:31:21.300 reflected in the results of this election this November. We always give you the last word here

00:31:27.900 on this show, all our guests. Joel, this is your time. Well, I think people should look at the example

00:31:36.780 Trump set as the basis for future foreign policy. I've yet to see any Republican really come out and

00:31:42.720 crystallize Trump's achievement in a doctrine. And the achievement was be unpredictable,

00:31:49.740 but be willing to use force, avoid large-scale military commitments, and use economic power

00:31:56.940 when it will be effective. And it usually is. I think those four points really would be the Trump

00:32:02.680 foreign policy doctrine. I've yet to see Republicans articulate it like that, but I think that's what has

00:32:06.900 to happen. And then, you know, we need to get to these domestic issues. Inflation is a huge problem.

00:32:11.300 And more spending, the way Biden wants to do, is not going to be the answer. So

00:32:15.900 once we get through these foreign policy crises, once we have a better understanding of what America

00:32:21.140 is and why it's worth defending, we'll be in a better place to deal with all of the issues facing

00:32:25.000 our country. Joel, thanks so much for being with us. We appreciate it. Joel Pollack, Breitbart's

00:32:30.480 very best. Great to have you with us. Look forward to talking with you soon.

00:32:35.980 Thanks. And I look forward to the next opportunity. Thanks for being with us today. Tomorrow, our guest

00:32:40.840 will be the young conservative upstart in Ohio who's taking on the GOP establishment and lots of big

00:32:48.240 money. His name is Josh Mandel. In a recent debate, he and his leading opponent, who's put $11 million of

00:32:56.060 his own money into the race, had to be separated on stage over what most took to be an insult by

00:33:02.960 Gibbons to the military and Josh Mandel's service in the U.S. Army. So please join us here tomorrow.

00:33:09.700 Till then, God bless you and God bless America.
