Hello, everybody. I'm Lou Dobbs, and welcome to The Great America Show. Good to have you with us.
00:00:05.400
Today is the day the Biden regime finally gives some attention to the East Palestine,
00:00:10.220
Ohio, hazardous chemical disaster, that disaster because of a train derailment nearly three weeks
00:00:16.300
ago. President Trump, well, he was there yesterday declaring Biden's regime betrayed the folks in
00:00:23.820
Palestine, ignoring the disaster, ignoring them, the good Americans whose lives have been turned
00:00:29.840
upside down. No one, not a single top Bidenista official, not President Biden himself, who was
00:00:38.480
doing a photo op in Ukraine, not his vice president, not his transportation secretary. None would give
00:00:45.900
the Palestinian residents the time of day. FEMA officials right away told the Palestinian residents
00:00:51.820
nothing we can do for you. Sorry. The EPA wasn't interested either, and we know how Pete Buttigieg
00:00:58.140
got at least part of his name. The Bidenistas wouldn't be there at all if President Trump
00:01:03.680
hadn't taken charge. It took Donald Trump saying he would go to Palestine to help out those folks.
00:01:11.500
He showed them what leadership and compassion looks like in a true president, assuring them that
00:01:17.440
they're not forgotten. President Trump brought with him thousands of bottles of water, truckloads of
00:01:23.400
water, cleansing supplies and canned food for the residents. And now I want to tell you one of those
00:01:29.460
stories that leaves a person scratching their head. And it's all about a Clinton aide who committed
00:01:36.980
suicide in Arkansas. Now, you're probably thinking that sounds a little familiar, that it sounds like
00:01:44.260
it should be a 25-year-old story back when there were lots of stories about Clinton aides and strange
00:01:51.320
happenings in Arkansas. But this tragic death happened less than a year ago. The Daily Mail
00:01:57.940
reporting that the death of President Bill Clinton's special advisor, Mark Middleton, has been ruled a
00:02:05.020
suicide. Almost a year later. Despite the fact that Middleton was found with a gunshot wound to his chest,
00:02:13.820
the sheriff's deputies never found a gun anywhere. And, by the way, Middleton had an extension cord
00:02:21.060
wrapped around his neck as well, and attached to a tree. So you say that you've got a choice as to
00:02:27.580
the cause of death. But the sheriff ruled Middleton's death to be suicide, despite all the questions that
00:02:34.900
remain. No gun. And you may have a few other questions as well, as I report to you now, that it
00:02:43.040
was Clinton's one-time aide, Mark Middleton, who signed Jeffrey Epstein into the White House seven of the 17 times
00:02:52.980
that Epstein visited the Clinton White House. Now, that is strange, isn't it? Well, speaking of strange,
00:03:02.520
isn't it strange that just when the congressional investigations of Biden, the Department of Justice, and
00:03:08.040
the FBI began, that suddenly we had UFOs made in China's spy balloons flying around? Are you kidding
00:03:16.000
me? With a worsening Biden-classified document scandal, the next thing we know, Biden is in Ukraine and
00:03:23.360
Poland. Let's ask our guest today, Lee Smith. Lee's a journalist, author of the plot to overthrow the
00:03:29.900
president, author as well of The Permanent Coup. So, Lee, what about those balloons? Were they there just
00:03:37.300
to divert attention from the House investigations of Biden? There's a lot. What did Obama, the Obama
00:03:45.480
administration call it? Stray voltage, right? There's just a lot of noise going on all over the
00:03:51.300
place, and it's intended to distract Americans and deflect attention from the different things that
00:03:58.920
are going on with these people. Well, these balloons, I can't believe this, but here it is.
00:04:06.860
Yeah. The White House saying now that they're not Chinese balloons, that in fact, there's no evidence
00:04:13.520
of that, and that they didn't know about it, but it's okay because they're really not Chinese balloons.
00:04:19.440
Meanwhile, the Chinese are threatening retaliation for knocking down their balloons.
00:04:26.120
So, how stupid are the people? And I mean, seriously, what do you think is going on with the low IQ
00:04:40.320
Well, my read on the balloons was, is that it was effectively, I mean, there's a lot of people who've done
00:04:45.140
some apparently interesting research on some of the things that these balloons might have been
00:04:50.240
up to. My read on it, though, is virtually an advertisement from the Chinese Communist Party to explain,
00:04:57.860
hey, we own your elites, we own your donor class, we own your president, we own your first family, we own
00:05:04.760
an awful lot of your farmland, and now we own your airspace too, and there's nothing that anyone's going
00:05:10.100
to do about it. So, that was my kind of read on it, that this was a psychological operation, and how it
00:05:16.200
managed to cross the continental, how it managed to enter through the Aleutian Islands, which is a place
00:05:23.200
from which the United States watched Soviet nuclear activity in the Pacific Theater for the duration of
00:05:31.880
the Cold War. So, how that was able to happen is, it's, I mean, I'd like to say it's a mystery,
00:05:37.120
but it's not a mystery. It's the Biden administration is what it is. There's no mystery here at all.
00:05:43.920
Well, there's a little mystery, and I agree with you about the administration itself, but it's who
00:05:49.840
is directing this aggregation of ineptitude and arrogance that makes up the White House staff.
00:05:59.060
It's, this president is obviously incapable of leading a dog, let alone a nation, the Western world.
00:06:11.660
What makes us think that this president is nothing more than a puppet, and nothing less than a buffoon
00:06:26.200
I think, I think you're absolutely right. I, look, of course, we're Americans, and this is, this touches on our
00:06:34.040
lives and the lives of our family. However, sometimes I try to imagine that I'm, that I'm a person from history
00:06:41.860
looking at this. And I think that actually, we've learned a lot the last several years about how the United States
00:06:48.800
has frequently run, how it's run under the Biden administration, how it's run during the Obama years
00:06:54.320
as well. Because if you look at the number of Obama figures who are in the Biden administration,
00:06:58.840
and we go back and we use this to understand how the Obama years worked, what we're looking at,
00:07:06.280
again, is a core group of incompetent and insane ideologues. There is one thing that they have.
00:07:15.360
Well, I mean, now they, they own the instruments of the state, of the most powerful country in the
00:07:20.220
world. But the one thing they have, it's not policy, it's not savvy, it's communications. And a large part
00:07:27.680
of that is what happens when you get to own the entire media. And unfortunately, that's even going
00:07:33.680
to include a lot of the, a lot of the ostensibly right wing media as well. So I think, again,
00:07:41.160
from a historical perspective, it's very useful for Americans to look and see what's happening with
00:07:47.260
the Biden administration and try to understand what we're up against and what we've been up against
00:07:53.560
for a while, as it turns out. It, you know, I accept that. And I think you're, you're probably right.
00:08:00.340
But after all, we do have the Biden laptop that is now considered valid by even the, the arch foes of
00:08:10.180
liberty, life and the pursuit of happiness. That is the corporatist media, the Twitter files,
00:08:17.460
the disinformation campaigns of the intelligence community, the Department of Justice. We have that
00:08:23.620
the admissions of former Attorney General Barr that leave only one conclusion, that indeed he did
00:08:32.540
intervene, whether out of ineptitude or design, in the outcome of the 2020 election. We, we also know
00:08:41.980
that Biden and the Marxist Dems and the deep state in concert purposely intervened in that election.
00:08:48.820
They changed history, whether you're talking about the 50 former veterans of the intelligence community,
00:08:56.220
five of them, CIA directors, former CIA directors, they did so for one reason. And that was to change
00:09:03.960
history and to put the wrong man in the Oval Office. And they have gotten away with it to this point,
00:09:11.900
haven't they? Yeah, that's, that's absolutely right. And the way that I've seen some of these
00:09:19.500
confessions, for instance, yeah, okay, the Hunter Biden laptop is real. I see it as kind of underscoring
00:09:26.580
their power, and the inability of the population to do anything about it right now, and the unwillingness
00:09:34.340
and the cowardice of most of the GOP to do anything about it. I, that, that's also needs to be taken in
00:09:42.560
the context of what's happening now. Of course, the GOP, even with a congressional minority,
00:09:47.400
majority, that they can send as many criminal referrals as they want to Merrick Garland, but
00:09:52.680
nothing's going to happen. What they're doing is they're putting out as much information as they
00:09:57.600
possibly can to set the table for 2024. Of course, the issue is, the issue is, we'll see what happens
00:10:06.340
in 2024, not only in terms of the electoral process, who is elected, but where the American people are at
00:10:14.920
that point, because as we've spoken about before, the center of gravity of the United States is the
00:10:19.240
American people. And if we're going to keep having our face rubbed in it by the oligarchy,
00:10:25.060
there may be a time, hopefully, whether there will be a straw that will break the camel's back. I mean,
00:10:32.020
frankly, that's kind of where we are. The decisive question will be, will Americans decide to live
00:10:38.980
as slaves? We're going to come to this, we're going to come to this question eventually, this choice
00:10:44.220
eventually. Will we live as slaves, or are we going to retake our liberty, our God-given rights?
00:10:51.840
Well, I think that's a question that goes to 2024. But I hear you questioning how efficacious
00:11:04.980
these hearings are by the Republican Party in the House of Representatives. As you talk about a
00:11:11.140
criminal referral, Will, as I think most of us would agree, we won't see Merrick Garland accept that and
00:11:17.440
throw somebody in the Hooskow. So I'm not, I agree with you, I don't know what happens there.
00:11:23.780
But I hear a great deal of skepticism from you, that you think that these, these hearings are going
00:11:29.400
to produce much that will be a boost to, to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness in 2024.
00:11:36.620
My concern looking at it historically is investigations of the intelligence services,
00:11:45.880
both the, both the church commission, as well as the, the church committee, as well as the 9-11
00:11:54.660
commission, both of these in the end wound up strengthening American intelligence services,
00:12:00.660
in particular, the, in particular, the FBI. I mean, it's, it's frankly shocking. The church committee
00:12:06.420
is basically how we got to Russiagate or FISAgate, whatever we choose to call it. FISA came out,
00:12:13.560
the 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. And the way that this was written was to allow the FBI
00:12:22.740
to spy on people that were preauthorized in court. There's really nothing you can do. If you go to a
00:12:29.400
court and you get a court, a secret court to sign off on it, there's really, there's really not much
00:12:35.140
recourse that Americans have. And as we saw in the Carter Page case, of course, this FISA to spy on
00:12:40.600
the entire Trump campaign was directed in particular at Carter Page. Carter Page took all of these people
00:12:45.860
to court, Comey, McCabe, Strzok, Lisa Page, and the judge, unfortunately, rightly rules saying there's
00:12:54.060
nothing we can do because the way that this law is written. Sorry. So, I mean, I think there are some
00:13:00.420
very powerful and important people and some real fighters on the weaponization committee. I mean,
00:13:06.700
there's a lot of, you know, there's a lot of, a lot of tough characters there.
00:13:12.800
I got Jim Jordan, Dan Bishop, Thomas Massey. I mean, there's a lot of people out there. And I think
00:13:19.160
that this is an important thing in itself, Lou, to show the American public that we have people out
00:13:23.660
there who are fighting for us, who are out there making a case, and who are fighting. So I'm very
00:13:28.960
optimistic about that. The actual political, policy, legal consequences, I think that we should
00:13:38.400
moderate our expectations on that. But we want to see our guys fighting. We want to see people
00:13:44.360
fighting for our country. Yes, we do. But we're getting a lot of fights. We're in a lot of fights.
00:13:52.960
We watch a lot of fights. But what we don't have is a beachhead. Right now, think of what the beachheads
00:14:02.060
are that are held by the Marxist Dems and in league with the deep state. They control the federal
00:14:10.180
government. They control the Department of Justice. They control the FBI. They control
00:14:15.740
all of the intelligence agencies of the intel community. They control the Internal Revenue
00:14:23.940
Service. They control the Treasury Department. They control the Defense Department. They control
00:14:29.740
the State Department. And when I use the word control, I'm using it advisedly. They are in absolute
00:14:36.200
control. A nice, young, 30-year-old aspirant who wants to go over to the State Department
00:14:46.500
and be a part of the Foreign Service. Good luck. If you happen to be a Republican, a conservative
00:14:51.940
Republican, a Trump Republican, oh, you are in big, big trouble. And you're in big trouble
00:14:58.760
if you're an American citizen abroad and you are not aligned with the Marxist Dems, the Democratic
00:15:04.560
Party, driven by them. And it's that straightforward. And people don't want to acknowledge it. Oh,
00:15:11.740
I left out a very important department, Department of Homeland Security, which, by the way, is
00:15:16.480
responsible for our wide open borders, for our alignment with the Mexican drug cartels, sex
00:15:24.120
trafficking, deadly drugs that are being smuggled across the border. Every state, as they say,
00:15:31.560
is a border state. And that is because primarily of, thank you, Alejandro Mayorkas, the Secretary of
00:15:39.720
Homeland Security, and Joe Biden. It is a, this is, if I'm keeping score the wrong way, you tell me.
00:15:48.080
No, no, no, I think you're right. I, how about this? I'll use an analogy with the press. I think that
00:15:54.300
the press has always leaned to the left, but something has happened within the last 10 to 15
00:16:00.360
years that the press is something else. It's not about bias anymore. It's about, it's a platform
00:16:05.500
for, for political operations. So I think it's a different thing. And I think if we look at,
00:16:12.080
if we look at government institutions, it's very much the same thing. Of course, aside from the FBI
00:16:18.340
and the military, a lot of these places have always leaned left, but something happened here to break
00:16:24.560
them. I mean, when it comes to the FBI, I think what broke it was the church committee, right? Because
00:16:30.000
you had a whole bunch of leftists who are partnering with people in the intelligence services. The people
00:16:36.600
in the FBI wanted to continue to be able to spy and to use those resources. And the deal was, yeah,
00:16:42.860
okay, just don't spy on us anymore. And here we'll give you a jail, a get out of jail, a free card
00:16:49.260
before you do anything bad. And that's what FISA is. But I think there has been an attack on these
00:16:57.100
institutions and, and people have weaponized the institutions. Barack Obama understood how to
00:17:03.320
weaponize the institutions. And he was basically pushing against an open door. You mentioned William
00:17:07.780
Barr before, and I'll try to give William Barr a little bit of credit, even though I agree with you,
00:17:12.180
Lou. The evidence right now points to the fact that William, William Barr not only knew what was
00:17:17.520
happening, he was sitting on top of the largest election interference operation in American history,
00:17:25.320
right? Which, which is astonishing. Astonishing. But he had no, he had absolutely no self-awareness,
00:17:34.100
no awareness of just how, how evil and corrupt a group was in charge. And I'm talking about the
00:17:41.780
deep state, the permanent bureaucracy of the Department of Justice, which still is in control.
00:17:48.460
Rod Rosenstein, for example, is still there smirking and laughing his way through every concern expressed
00:17:56.240
by the committees, whether it is judiciary, whether it's oversight, you name it. He's going to tell them
00:18:02.880
to go to hell. He is also going to raise both hands in the air and flip them off from the left and right
00:18:09.780
and do so with a cackle. This is outrageous. And the Republicans keep playing some sort of stupid
00:18:18.100
game. I am so tired of this nonsense where they don't acknowledge that we're in a battle for control
00:18:26.020
of the federal government and don't have a strategy, an obvious strategy. They certainly don't consult with
00:18:32.260
me on strategy. Not nearly enough, in my opinion, to, to really overcome this tremendous enemy that now is
00:18:44.180
within not only the walls, but has gained their, gained actual control of the, of the court of the king. It is,
00:18:55.300
it's, it's simply mind numbing to think that the Republicans can't come to terms with that reality.
00:19:02.260
I, I, I think before they need a strategy, they need to understand what the world really looks
00:19:08.400
like. They, and they don't understand that a lot of the, I was going to say about William Barr,
00:19:13.900
I suspect that he's one of these, uh, Republicans who believes, well, the institutions will take care
00:19:20.380
of themselves. The institutions will be finally, you don't understand you're fighting against people.
00:19:25.860
You don't even understand you're in a fight. You're up against people who have a Leninist mentality.
00:19:30.580
That's who they are. And they all managed the last several years. They all managed to justify their inaction, uh,
00:19:38.220
or, or, or their appeasement to the left by saying, well, you know, it's about Donald Trump. That's who it's about.
00:19:45.400
And once Trump is gone, everything's going to be fine. What they never understood, what I believe they didn't
00:19:51.800
understood, have not understood. They have not understood that, that the whole purpose of this
00:19:58.980
whole of society, um, censorship campaign on, on, on, uh, with, with big tech government agencies,
00:20:07.680
the democratic party, the media, it's, it's, it's not about Donald Trump, right? They have so much
00:20:15.120
contempt for Trump. They just thought it was about Trump. It's about replacing the Republic.
00:20:19.740
That's what it is. That's why it's so large. And a lot of the people on the left are already
00:20:25.860
zombies. They don't care. They're happy to be told what to do. And they'll be happy to take
00:20:30.600
government handouts. Who cares about this? The people on the right. And I think many people on
00:20:36.240
the right do have an accurate picture of this. Our leaders, however, do not. Maybe they do. And
00:20:41.920
they're just terrified because I got to admit, it's a scary thing. Once we look and what we see,
00:20:46.520
what's really going on, it's a very scary thing. But if these guys continue to convince themselves,
00:20:51.360
ah, it's just a little partisanship and pushing and pushing and shoving and don't, and don't worry,
00:20:56.320
don't worry. As soon as Nikki Haley's president, it's all going to be taken care of. Well, it's all
00:21:00.400
going to balance itself out. Maybe that's what they see. Perhaps that's what they see, but it's
00:21:06.400
certainly, it is a mirage. This is a moment in which people need to be clear eyed and strong
00:21:16.860
willed. And, you know, Jim Jordan, James Comer, the chairman of the judiciary and the oversight
00:21:24.920
committees. I mean, you couldn't ask for better people. But what in the world are they actually
00:21:31.560
accomplishing other than achieving a lot of TV time? They're not moving the needle. And this needle
00:21:38.900
has to move. And what I can't understand is the Republican Party has chosen to stay with a loser
00:21:46.540
in Ronna McDaniel. They have, they're trying to be a Republican Party that is Trumpian first America,
00:21:54.960
but they don't want anything to do. Clearly, these leaders of the Republican Party with Donald Trump,
00:22:02.100
because he actually isn't too happy about the establishment. He isn't happy with the status quo.
00:22:09.100
He is strong. He's straight talking. He has achieved exactly what they say they want to. In four years,
00:22:15.740
he did it all when everyone was working against him. And I mean, everyone, whether it be the courts,
00:22:21.220
whether it be the permanent bureaucracy, the deep state, the Marxist Dems, vile and vicious. And I
00:22:28.840
mean, they took no prisoners and certainly meant to destroy Donald J. Trump. I can't understand why
00:22:37.860
there is not more organization around it. I don't understand why the Republican Party puts up with a
00:22:45.840
Ronna McDaniel. Why do we tolerate a Mitt Romney? Mitt Romney comes out and tells everybody what a
00:22:51.880
buffo job Joe Biden did watching that balloon fly across the country. And it shoots it down with a
00:23:00.300
$400,000 guided missile from a $300 million airplane. I mean, are you kidding me? These generals don't
00:23:11.400
make any damn sense. What in the world are we doing here? I think one of the greatest historical
00:23:18.980
moments in this country we've seen within the last several years, and that was Donald Trump's rallies
00:23:25.600
in 2019 and 2020. And because we're talking about the Congress, we're talking about, you know,
00:23:33.040
the congressional leadership, and we're talking about the investigators and getting to the bottom of
00:23:37.480
stuff. Look, I appreciate people getting on media. I appreciate people getting on TV and talking about
00:23:41.820
it. But there's a lot of Americans aren't there who aren't watching the TV. They're not listening to
00:23:45.400
podcasts. They're not listening to radio. Why don't they get on the road and go out there and talk to
00:23:50.100
the American people? Because if you're trying to fight the FBI, if you're trying to fight the
00:23:53.780
intelligence services on their home turf, that's what Washington is. You're not going to win at the
00:23:58.020
very best you're going to draw. But go out there, do what Donald Trump did. Make your case to the
00:24:02.580
American people. Talk to the American people. Hey, here's what we're doing. I mean, that was like,
00:24:07.000
you know, like barnstorming. Get out there and talk to the American people. Say what you're doing.
00:24:13.780
Talk about the corruption in Washington. Talk about how you're fighting it. Talk about what the
00:24:19.960
weaponization committee means, what they're looking at. People out there understand what's going on.
00:24:24.580
They understand the FBI is targeting them and their families, looking at, you know, spying on school
00:24:30.460
parents, detaining January 6th protesters without bail, putting them in jail for years for misdemeanors.
00:24:40.200
People understand what's going on. What have the Republicans done about it, though?
00:24:44.800
Lee, seriously. I mean, we've talked about this issue. We've talked with Joe McBride. We've talked
00:24:50.900
with various folks about the plight of those political prisoners. There is no movement. The Republican
00:24:56.980
Party won't put itself at risk. They will not extend a helping hand. And God knows, you know,
00:25:04.320
the permanent bureaucracy. I mean, you're talking about every law enforcement agency, every intelligence
00:25:08.480
agency is under the control of the Marxist left in this country. They are the globalist elite. They
00:25:14.600
are all about one world, the new one world, liberal order. This is an immensely unfair fight right now.
00:25:26.920
And you look around the cities, the cities where crime is raging, drugs are flowing through the
00:25:31.820
streets, the homeless pile up at, you know, in every crevice of the city. And they're all run by
00:25:39.940
democratic mayors and city councils and Democrat Marxist left-wing community organizers throughout
00:25:50.780
their cities. They despair the people of those cities. And there is no reinforcement because no
00:25:58.620
one in this country is reaching out to them. The NGOs and the nonprofits are all owned by left-wing
00:26:06.160
donors, George Soros, whomever you want. They're throwing money into NGOs. And by the way, the
00:26:14.660
government is throwing money into them as well, because they're short-circuiting government itself,
00:26:20.280
whether at the local level, the state level, or federal. We have created a monster of a mess
00:26:26.420
in this country. And there has never been, there has never been anything like it in world history.
00:26:34.960
Absolutely. It is so daunting, I'm sure, for a lot of the academics who want to think slowly,
00:26:42.940
carefully, and empirically, of course. But they can't and won't begin to raise their voices
00:26:49.080
because they cannot believe what is happening any more than any one of us can.
00:26:54.340
What kind of a country would let a man like George Soros go around to our historic cities,
00:27:05.140
our greatest cities, some of the greatest cities in the world, and back district attorneys who will let
00:27:12.320
felons loose on the street to terrorize Americans? It's absolutely obscene. We know exactly what's going
00:27:20.820
on. We know what he's done. We know why he's doing it. And the fact that people are even afraid to use
00:27:27.340
his name and say what he's doing, it's public information. But I mean, let's get that out to
00:27:32.940
people. What's going on? This is what's happening. Why? They're creating chaos. They're destroying
00:27:38.900
American cities. I don't understand. It's not a mystery. This is what happens if the DAs will not
00:27:44.140
prosecute felons, and they let them walk on the streets. This is what happens. You have crime,
00:27:48.720
you have murder, you have rape, you have assaults, you have robberies. Who's behind it? Who is the
00:27:53.640
man who is dumping hundreds of millions of dollars into this? And why won't we talk about it? Why won't
00:27:59.660
we just like point that out? And at least we have to see clearly. We can't start, we can't fight
00:28:07.420
unless we see things clearly. Well, see things clearly, it's clear that the Republicans have no
00:28:15.100
leadership. There is no leadership in the Republican Party right now. The House is beginning its hearings,
00:28:22.980
and I give them great credit. They are moving forward. But you know, it looks like they're
00:28:29.500
mounting up for a cavalry charge against machine guns, cannon from a different century. The weapons
00:28:37.560
are different. The outcomes will be far different than what they expect by following old and now dated
00:28:46.640
techniques and strategies for politics because it just doesn't play anymore. You know, watching the
00:28:53.240
Super Bowl, you saw all sorts of pop culture domination over issues, whether it be gender change
00:29:05.480
or transformation, however you want to style it, or whether it be the cute virtue signaling messages
00:29:14.320
on the field of the teams in the Super Bowl. End racism. Hey, all with you. But you know, what are
00:29:21.200
you paying and what are you doing to end racism? It's virtue signaling. Watch the commercials, the voice
00:29:26.960
of business. It's outrageous. They're demeaning, objectifying, and outrageous. They are slurs against
00:29:35.720
American society, and also part of the reason that American society is in decline. It's just a terrible
00:29:45.360
thing. And here's Joe Biden. Here's a man who got elected without leaving his basement. And now when people
00:29:50.880
want to know about why he didn't shoot down a balloon, why he appears to be so compromised by the
00:29:55.820
communist Chinese, where is he? He's back in his basement. He hasn't answered a question. Not a
00:30:02.440
single question about his classified documents. And meanwhile, the only special counsel who seems to
00:30:09.200
be energized is the one, Jack Smith, who's going after Trump for Mar-a-Lago, which was an absolute
00:30:16.680
insult against justice and a breach of our Constitution by this Biden Justice Department. And guess who?
00:30:25.500
is the most energized. It's Jack Smith demanding more and wanting, by the way, to penetrate the
00:30:32.860
attorney-client privilege of the President of the United States. And everybody is just sort of going
00:30:40.000
ho-hum. These jackals have to be brought to ground.
00:30:45.220
There is something, there has been, people have gotten accustomed to this. This is something that
00:30:53.440
I think that we should be very concerned about. It's outrageous, as you're describing, Lou. It's
00:30:59.720
outrageous. And people become accustomed to that, well, they're going to keep going after Trump until
00:31:03.660
they can, until they actually get to crucify him. They're not going to stop. They're going to keep
00:31:07.500
going after him. And you're right. And instead of just, instead of, you know, articulating the outrage
00:31:16.040
and then doing something about it, we're just becoming accustomed to it. I mean, it's like the
00:31:20.180
proverbial frog in boiling water, but it's not just about them targeting Donald Trump. That's what I
00:31:25.260
mean. They're going after the constitutional order. They mean to replace the constitutional order.
00:31:30.420
They're turning it into something else. And if we don't recognize it, if we don't do something about
00:31:36.460
it, that's who we're going to be. That's where, that, that, that, that's the legacy of the United
00:31:42.420
States. Our country, our constitutional order, our representative democracy, these are not natural
00:31:49.340
things. They have to be nurtured. They have to be cultivated. They have to be, we have to exert
00:31:55.800
effort to maintain them. And if we don't, they will cease to exist. There is, there is for me,
00:32:05.940
and I'm going to create some stir with this. I guess I better begin by saying I'm a God-fearing
00:32:11.440
fellow. I, I, I believe in God and I love this country, but there has, there has been a group of
00:32:21.480
people, primarily in the Republican party, I believe, who've talked about God-given rights
00:32:27.540
and universal rights and human rights. And I want everybody listening to me to understand
00:32:34.660
who I am before you judge what I say. And I hope you will listen to what I say. There is no such thing
00:32:41.760
as God-given rights. There is no such thing as universal rights. There is no such thing as human
00:32:51.420
rights. There are only those rights that our forebears fought for in 1776, and which are
00:33:02.440
embodied in the, in the Declaration of Independence, and ultimately our national founding document, the,
00:33:09.900
the Constitution. But those rights that are enumerated, please, please, Lord, don't let these
00:33:17.960
folks keep calling them universal, God-given, and human rights. They are rights that Americans have
00:33:25.540
fought for for over two centuries. And they, people have to understand there is only one way to preserve
00:33:32.780
them. And that is for Americans to preserve them. And that means by any means necessary, including,
00:33:40.420
including fighting for them. Your thoughts, as we conclude here.
00:33:44.560
That, that, that, that is stirring and deeply moving because, because I think you're exactly
00:33:53.240
right. And I think that we sell these people short, right? We sell our, our, our forefathers
00:33:59.180
short. And we say, yeah, you know, they're God-given rights. It's like, wait a minute,
00:34:02.940
wait a minute. There are people who risk everything for these rights that we today enjoy. And to just
00:34:10.920
say, yeah, God gave them. And then after, you know, after we fought, after we fought the British
00:34:14.880
crown, we just kind of collected them. That's not how it happened. These, these, these men and some
00:34:20.440
women, they, they, they fought for these things that they passed down to us and they passed them down,
00:34:27.700
they passed them down through generations. And you're right. These things have to be kept and they
00:34:32.800
have to be earned. It's not just a matter of them being held in a trophy room or something like
00:34:39.260
that. And for us to be able to pass them on to our families, to our children and our grandchildren,
00:34:48.460
you're right, Lou, we have to fight for them. It's time for us to join the people who have,
00:34:56.620
I mean, I think that, I think that all the time we are lucky. We're blessed to be living in this
00:35:03.180
remarkable time. If we seize the opportunity, if we understand the times, the time that we're living
00:35:12.800
in. And if we look and see that we need to join that fight, that our, our, our founding fathers and
00:35:22.080
generations after and generations, many generations before us have waged the same fight by both at
00:35:29.100
home and abroad for, for Americans, for us. Absolutely. And when you, I hope everybody
00:35:41.020
listening, when you hear people talk about God-given rights, God blessed our fight for these rights,
00:35:46.520
but it was ours, this fight, our forebears fight. It is our fight now. And when you hear people talk
00:35:55.340
particularly at the United Nations, and I will be honest with you, I am such a petty person.
00:36:00.340
When I hear one of these representatives of the United Nations talk about human rights and universal
00:36:06.320
rights, I think, well, go to any quarter of the world. I mean, any quarter, any nation, and I include
00:36:12.580
so-called democracies around the world. And you find one society that has the rights that we do
00:36:20.280
because we fought for our rights, because we have fought for them more than once. We fought for the
00:36:28.460
wars, 18, 1812. We fought in the Spanish-American war. We fought in World War I. And you know what?
00:36:39.280
We fought in World War II. And we were the dominant nation on the planet. And what did we do?
00:36:46.040
We moved to help everyone, including those we had vanquished, whether it be the Japanese, whether it be
00:36:53.500
the Germans. By the way, as we fought through the Cold War with the Soviet Union, we fought because we knew
00:37:04.020
that life itself and the planet was at stake. And somehow we have lost track of that since 1991.
00:37:11.860
And we'd better return to that realization. Lee Smith, it's always great to talk with you.
00:37:17.900
I commend you for all that you're doing. And let's get in this fight and let's go win it.
00:37:25.620
Exactly. God bless you, Lou. And God bless America.
00:37:30.320
Lee Smith, great American. Thank you for being with us. And thank you, everybody, for joining us.
00:37:34.940
Here tomorrow will be Dr. Robert Malone. We'll be talking about pandemics and just what happened to
00:37:42.740
the CDC. And is the WHO now in charge of American lives? Till then, God bless you and God bless America.
