In these wild and uncertain times in our country right now, it s easy for us to miss the sometimes small, or shadowed, events that could change our lives in America. Easy for any of us not notice that Communist China is buying up strategic assets in the United States, whether farmland, pork processing plants, or any number of businesses we don t know about simply because the Biden regime might have simply forgotten to tell us. And it s also easy to lose sight of what is happening out there in other parts of the planet that may well change the world we live in. Communist China isn t so quietly sending spy balloons overhead and loudly threatening Taiwan, and even Western civilization as a whole. And Xi Jinping has rather boldly made himself the Chinese leader for life.
00:25:15.320Panama Canal at both ends and they are infiltrating the region destabilizing governments you name it and and if we're going to talk about alarms and regions certainly nothing is more important than that which is most proximate militarily and in geopolitics the the Caribbean Central America South America there is no way in the world we should be tolerating this and
00:25:30.640we should be responding powerfully to the intrusion but we're not when it was Barack Obama remember who famously on a fine November day decided to announce that the Monroe Doctrine was dead this is the kind of madness that has been heaped upon us
00:25:47.220Jimmy Carter decided that we shouldn't we shouldn't be engaged with the Panama Canal and in some sort of massive historic virtue signaling decided to turn it back to Panama
00:26:02.500what is it the Biden administration likes to call them the competitors of the United States they're the damn enemies of the United States right I mean we have just to take one of those problems I mean we have all of those border crossings right now from Central America and the reason is that those areas were decimated by China's entry into the World Trade Organization factories left
00:26:28.280every country in our hemisphere but it's all but as well as in Central America and and now Central Americans without hope without jobs they want to migrate to the United States but we can stabilize that we can bring factories back to the United States we can also bring some factories which wouldn't come back to American soil they could go to Central America and get cheaper labor than they have in China and that would stabilize those societies which means we wouldn't
00:26:57.280have millions of people trying to have millions of millions of millions of millions of millions of millions of millions of millions of millions of millions of millions of millions of millions of millions of millions of millions
00:27:23.760border. It's not just fentanyl is a Chinese problem. We've got probably Chinese agents
00:27:29.120coming across our border not monitored. I think unquestionably, and furthermore,
00:27:36.960we have no interior immigration enforcement. We have no appetite whatsoever, no political will
00:27:43.840in this country to defend that border. It has de facto been turned over to the Mexican drug
00:27:52.440cartels who are working hand in glove with the Chinese for fentanyl, pharmaceutical ingredients,
00:27:59.340and their scientists, as you well know, are helping those cartels in the manufacture of fentanyl that
00:28:06.800is now coming into this country in ever greater, massive, deadly quantities. And when I say deadly,
00:28:13.320we're talking about the capacity to kill the American population two or three times over.
00:28:21.040Yes. Some of those fentanyl seizures recently are so large that they could kill every American.
00:28:28.220And we know that the Communist Party is backing the fentanyl gangs because in China's total
00:28:35.820surveillance state, those fentanyl gangs could not operate without the approval of the party.
00:28:40.780And the gangs actually launder their money through the Chinese state, the Chinese state banking system.
00:28:48.140Chinese diplomats support the fentanyl gangs. And we're not holding the Communist Party to account.
00:28:55.360And that's two years ago, that was about 77,000 Americans who had died from illegal fentanyl doses.
00:29:03.480When we get the numbers for last year, it's probably going to be in excess of 80,000 for sure.
00:29:10.040That's 80,000 Americans who have been murdered last year by Communist Party, in addition to the COVID deaths.
00:29:19.040Yeah. Well, when you start looking at what is happening, the Chinese military strategists,
00:29:27.600and some of them going back as far as Sun Tzu, acknowledging that to not fight a war is even better than winning a war.
00:29:35.940And what we are watching is a country that is strategically going after the United States in every way,
00:29:42.600subverting it wherever it can, covertly, and now in plain view.
00:29:48.540And there is such little appetite, stomach, or if you will, guts on the part of the American public
00:29:55.360to contend with what is in their face.
00:29:58.560And that is their own—they're being bled every day.
00:30:02.020We are being bled every day by the Chinese Communist Party,
00:30:06.460whether it is the theft of intellectual property,
00:30:08.980whether it is the purchase of farmland and strategically placed real estate,
00:30:14.100whether it be companies, front companies that are running,
00:30:17.920gaming us every day for hundreds of billions of dollars in intellectual property,
00:32:38.280But unfortunately, the party has so many rhinos and rhino liberals that it's enough to make you sick to your stomach.
00:32:46.780We all need more Lou Dobbs in our life because you called it early, Lou, and you have never wavered.
00:32:55.260And, you know, I have and so many people across the country because they tell me they look at you and they say his ideas are what are going to save us.
00:34:15.240Lower taxes instead of higher accountability of the American people, things like consent of the governed, co-equal branches of government, and accountability.
00:34:25.720I just, I hope that we can get to that point.
00:34:30.040But waiting for the next election, and I have to say to you, I don't believe we can wait.
00:34:35.540I saw a picture of Ronald McDaniel today talking about loyalty oaths.
00:34:40.460I want to say the loyalty oath to the United States of America is going to be a loyalty oath.
00:34:47.380And I'm not so sure as some of these folks who call themselves politicians and Republicans who are actually rhinos, who act in absolute disregard of their citizenship in this great republic.
00:35:12.360I mean, I don't follow these things, Lou.
00:35:14.120But I figured that a record of failure would merit expulsion, but apparently not in the Republican Party.
00:35:23.040Not in the Republican Party, certainly.
00:35:25.600It is, I think, the healthiest thing I've seen happen to the Republican Party since the election of Donald Trump has been the bargaining that took place between the Freedom Caucus
00:35:37.420and the so-called 20 who bargained with Kevin McCarthy for the Speakership and to get representation of good, strong, American, committed conservatives and Republicans who want the best for this nation and put America first.
00:35:58.140That's, to me, it is exhilarating to see the so-called new church committee dealing with the weaponization of the U.S. government.
00:36:08.940And also, without question, the China committee to have the courage to do that and to move forward.
00:38:45.080And he announced in November after the election.
00:38:48.160And there was a little waning during the holidays.
00:38:50.720And what we have now is, I mean, in our last poll at the end of February, Donald Trump was ahead of the Republican field in a multi-cannity race, 42 to 26.
00:39:03.240He definitely was beating Ron DeSantis in a one-to-one challenge, 56 to 38, which is higher than January.
00:39:59.520He made a great visit to East Palestine when these people in Ohio were suffering after the Biden administration, you know, just totally bungled a toxic train derailment where they've opened up this 21st century love canal where they've definitely poisoned the people of Ohio and Pennsylvania with what's going on.
00:40:20.600And Joe Biden took off to Ukraine to give hundreds of, you know, millions of dollars to the Ukrainians or billions of dollars to the Ukrainians while Americans here are suffering and could use that money.
00:40:33.700And he still hasn't been to East Palestine.
00:40:35.720But the big difference was Donald Trump went there, told those people, and he brought his own, you know, he's a corporate businessman.
00:40:45.160He brought his own bottled water and went to the McDonald's, was buying food for people.
00:40:49.940And he's doing what he could as a citizen.
00:40:54.180So it's really historic in that the conditions that allowed Donald Trump to win in 2016 have only become exponentially more aggravated since then, where he is now.
00:41:07.260I mean, his speech at CPAC was great because it was a clarion call to the working men and women of America against the political establishment.
00:41:16.260And, you know, he just had a tremendous success at CPAC, which was held inside the beltway.
00:41:25.660And he had these conservatives come over, 2,000 conservatives cast their vote, which they have to pay to go to the conference.
00:41:32.340And only one person gets to vote there.
00:43:13.280And things in America are not as good as it was in the 20th century.
00:43:19.100So when you look at what's going on with the middle class and the exploitation and what's going on with China and the world and what's going on with the, you know, you've got Russia invading Ukraine, then not afraid of Joe Biden.
00:43:31.760And it's, it's, these are, these are times where most Americans will tell you the country's gone backwards.
00:43:38.340And we have never gone backwards before in our history.
00:43:41.340And for most voters to feel that way, there's anger right now at the ruling class, the elites, the establishment, and forget when you get, you know, a couple thousand conservatives traveling inside the beltway to send the establishment a message at a conference where they're, they literally, you know, went at the establishment.
00:44:02.980They went at the ruling class of the country and, you know, they're being censored.
00:44:08.180They're being shunned by, by these people that exploit us.
00:44:13.280And, you know, the, the grassroots around the country are being rallied by Donald Trump once
00:44:18.860again, to give them hope that we can take back our country.
00:44:21.480They are the forgotten Americans who Donald Trump embraced in 2015 and 2016 and, and won the presidency that, and that's before him again, we are in a different situation though.
00:44:36.800And, and then in 2016, we have greater clarity about the role of the federal government, the political corruption of the federal government's so-called deep state.
00:44:46.440We have no, I think most Americans now have no illusions about what the Democrat party is.
00:44:53.580It is a Marxist led party with a Marxist agenda and they mean to destroy everything from the nuclear family, uh, to the founding values of the country and to roll over, uh, this political system into a one party system.
00:45:09.920It's not the uniparty as some insist on calling it, it's not a, uh, a two tier justice system.
00:45:16.760It's one party, one centralized autocratic totalitarian government, uh, that they dream of and which they do better than dream because they're actually executing the plan and doing so.
00:45:29.700I think brilliantly while Republicans, independents, libertarians are all sitting there slack jawed at what is happening before their very eyes.
00:45:39.920And what is happening nearly every day in Washington, DC, your thoughts.
00:45:45.620I mean, uh, you know, when I read Mark Levin wrote about, uh, that book about American Marxists, I didn't know these names didn't, you know, really register, but you can see it all around you.
00:45:56.620When you know that people like George Soros are financing this with their, uh, nonprofits, with their open borders, their, uh, uh, you know, nonprofits that are funding the cashless bail.
00:46:08.080And you had a situation this week where, uh, uh, a bunch of people, terror terrorists attack, like the police academy in Atlanta, Georgia.
00:46:17.480And one of them was a lawyer for the Southern poverty law legal center.
00:46:21.240And what it is, is it's like you said, it's a Marxist communist, uh, plot where they know who they are.
00:46:28.000And they're basically, you know, trying to take down every institution of value in America so that, so that a handful of people can, you know, take over the government and tell the rest of us what to do.
00:46:38.100And, uh, take away our democracy and our freedoms and our right to free speech.
00:46:42.520So, uh, so this is an existential battle because the standard part is, uh, the establishment, the elites in the country, you know, they would rather have control.
00:46:52.040Like the Republican party is the first hurdle in that, um, you've got a situation where the grassroots in the Republican party, uh, really resent what the country club Republicans are doing to us right now.
00:47:04.340And basically they need to realize that the caddies are now about to take over the country club and we're going to run it and we're going to get our president elected again.
00:47:13.720And we're tired of them losing elections or going along with, uh, with the Democrats.
00:47:18.440I mean, you know, people talk about last November's election.
00:47:21.640They were trying to blame it on Trump.
00:47:22.820Well, twice the Republicans in the Senate voted with the Democrats to spend trillions of dollars on infrastructure bills that, you know, I'm not seeing the infrastructure.
00:47:34.340I mean, and, and all this inflation reduction act, I haven't seen inflation reduced.
00:47:40.420I mean, we needed to stop spending last year and have a big fight before the election so we could take the Senate.
00:47:46.020Instead, we had Republicans go along with it.
00:47:48.640It absolutely undermined what we needed to do.
00:47:51.820Fortunately, house candidates took, took the Democrats on and inflation and we won just enough to take over the house.
00:47:58.940And now a lot of these house members are doing what they said they were going to do.
00:48:03.900And they're showing the corruption of the Biden administration, specifically the Biden family.
00:48:09.160They're, they're going after China in a way that, that, you know, letting Americans know how China has abused us and taking our jobs and spied on us and is exploiting us right now.
00:48:19.620And, you know, they're, they're, they're, they're going to fight to stop taxes and they're going to fight to stop the wasteful spending.
00:48:26.380But it's the backbenchers that are, that are leading that fight because the people are behind them.
00:48:31.520And for the first time, the conservatives in the party, in the house are, are truly represented across all of the committees and, and with, with good placement in the, really the most important committees, judiciary, the subcommittee you just mentioned on weaponization.
00:48:50.420Uh, James Comer is chairman of the oversight committee.
00:48:54.580I mean, the list goes on, uh, strong conservative voices, uh, and minds leading those, uh, those efforts.
00:49:02.200It is, and they're off in my judgment to a very good start.
00:49:06.700Uh, I, you know, the test will be of course, in the months ahead, but, uh, even now, uh, as we, as we sit here discussing this, the, the national left-wing corporate meetings,
00:49:20.420media is refusing to hold to account Joe Biden, his administration or regime.
00:49:26.780If you prefer, he's refusing to hold to account Nancy Pelosi or Chuck Schumer or the deep state that continues to bedevil and politically persecute president, uh, Donald Trump.
00:49:39.320Uh, it's, it is a moment in history that is building towards something very large, very important.
00:49:47.080And, and this destabilization that we're witnessing, not only in this country, but in Europe as well, uh, and to a, a degree in Asia as well.
00:50:02.280I was in Europe last week, seeing clients over there and you can see the people of, of Europe resent right now.
00:50:09.620The fact that they're suffering because of these sanctions that they're paying, you know, higher gas, fuel prices, et cetera.
00:50:16.760And certainly they're, they don't like Russia.
00:50:18.960They want to, they're strong NATO allies that they don't want to be invaded.
00:50:23.280But on the other hand, they, there is no game plan from Joe Biden about how to end the war.
00:50:29.040Donald Trump has said he would end it in 24 hours.
00:50:31.420And it certainly would have happened, would not have happened, uh, if he was president, you know, no way Vladimir Putin would have gone into Ukraine when Trump was president.
00:50:39.920Cause he would have known the consequences.
00:50:42.320And, you know, you're seeing right now where, uh, you know, people, you know, people are concerned about the war spreading and, and, and catastrophic consequences.
00:50:51.420Where there's intelligence reports coming out and we've got to worry about China and Russia and North Korea and Iran.
00:50:59.740Iran is very close to having a nuclear weapon if they don't already have it.
00:51:04.120And, uh, you know, these, these are really rogue states.
00:51:09.400Um, and you, you know, the world is very worried about what's going on right now.
00:51:15.060And they, they're not getting the leadership from America that they had with Donald Trump as president and, uh, or that they've seen in the past from the United States.
00:51:24.200So a couple of questions is, is, and I know you're limited in your time, but just a, just a couple of more questions.
00:51:30.800What do you think of the, and I know this may be difficult, if not impossible for you to answer, but I'm curious about whether or not the political team, the president has around him right now, in your judgment as a professional.
00:51:42.360Uh, is better than what he had in 2020.
00:51:46.820We're speaking about Joe Biden or president Trump.
00:51:57.920She met, ran Florida twice for the Trump campaign and we won decisively twice.
00:52:03.580Uh, you have Chris Lasavita in there and I've, I've worked with Chris before with Senator George Allen and when, when George was governor as well.
00:52:11.420Um, and we've worked together since then.
00:52:13.920And Chris, uh, is known for running the, uh, super PAC efforts for the SWIFO veterans against John Kerry.
00:52:22.920Um, and Jason Miller's background in communications.
00:52:26.460So there's, he's building a leaner, meaner team and they are raising money now as he goes in campaigns, you know, but not the big dollar country club sets.
00:52:35.980Ironically, he's the blue collar billionaire that, uh, uh, people of America will send him 50, a hundred dollars online because they know he represents their interests.
00:52:46.580And, uh, you know, it is going pretty well, right.
00:52:49.780From what I hear right now, particularly after the CPAC speech where he really, you know, let the establishment have it and he's coming out with very specific plans.
00:52:59.540A lot of his videos aren't really getting wide play from the mainstream media, but he's come out with specific plans about what he's going to do with the federal government, how he's going to close the border.
00:53:08.740Uh, what he's going to do with China and trade and manufacturing.
00:53:12.540Um, but it's, it's all basically, you know, messages that would play to the heartland.
00:53:21.900The, uh, uh, the basically that he's taking the offense that he's taking the battle to Joe Biden.
00:53:28.880Um, I mean, he attacks president Biden every day, if he can, the fact that he is going into places with where, uh, he's drawing a sharp, sharp contrast between Biden's failures and his successes.
00:53:41.380And with specific plans that are different than, you know, beyond what he did as president himself.
00:53:47.440So I think, you know, four years ago, they were afraid that, well, they, they didn't think Donald Trump would win.
00:53:55.040Now they're afraid he's going to win and it's going to get tougher because, you know, Alvin Bragg, I mean, the Soros DA in Manhattan is holding, you know, like he's, he's, he's holding a grand jury talking about indicting the president on some stuff from the past campaign.
00:54:13.380You know, I mean, they're going to do whatever they can to stop him.
00:54:17.320And, and, and even as we speak, the fact that the videos from, uh, the January 6th committee that weren't released that Kevin McCarthy, Speaker McCarthy released down, people can see here.
00:54:28.800They are the police leading Capitol police, for some reason, leading these protesters into the Senate chambers, into the halls of Congress.
00:54:37.760And now you've got people in jail after being, you know, literally what some legal people are calling entrapped, uh, by the way, there's these, this, this video leaves no question about the entrapment of the, uh, the shaman, so-called, the man with the, the Viking hat, uh, and furs.
00:54:57.360Uh, he was, he, he was being, without question, escorted through the Capitol, uh, and there was no tension even in the moment, let alone in any act that he, that he took.
00:55:10.680So when we see all of this, uh, when the Americans see it for themselves, and I love the fact that Chuck Schumer is outraged that Tucker Carlson showed video, uh, to the American people of that day, uh, saying it's the most horrible thing he's ever witnessed.
00:55:27.340And his life, uh, when in fact, that tells you everything you need to know about these Marxist Democrats, and that is that they would rather tell you what you're seeing than allow you to see it.
00:55:38.080And if the American people are stupid enough to put these, uh, uh, these Trotskyites back, uh, in office, I, I will be, I will be stunned this time.
00:55:56.160And, you know, some of us, you know, have, you know, differences about how they've covered some of the things, but let me tell you, uh, you know, to, for the Senate leader of the United States to call for censorship, because he knows that ultimately he and Nancy Pelosi made a decision not to call the national guard, not to put fencing around the Capitol as they've done at the white house.
00:56:18.720And, uh, you know, and then they had January 6th committee where they wouldn't even allow Trump Republicans on the committee.
00:56:29.000So this is an existential battle for the future of America.
00:56:33.000Like we've never seen before this election that's coming up.
00:56:36.540And, you know, I have to say this, you know, damn the national corporate media because they have the power as well as the responsibility to have held these Democrats to account.
00:56:49.020Uh, and they have, uh, and they have, uh, uh, grease the, the way forward, uh, into decline for this nation because of, uh, their conduct over the last six years.
00:56:59.500Uh, and you mentioned brag, I mean, we look around at these George Soros, uh, DAs, uh, playing politics, Fulton County.
00:57:07.940What a, what a strange place that, uh, we would see, uh, uh, uh, indictments for, uh, Donald Trump emanating from, uh, you know, one of the most left-wing counties in the, in the country.
00:57:21.800Well, you saw the, you saw the video of the, of the grand jury for woman.
00:57:32.020And, and it's like, by the way, once you saw that, and once you saw the, these videos from January 6th, you know, it's undermining their, you know, this is the, the Democrats of the party that gave us two phony impeachments.
00:57:49.320To, to, to stop the leader of the working men and women of the United States that God helped them that if the, if the taxpayers really run the country instead of them and, you know, we're not going to be stopped this time.
00:58:03.180It, we'd better not be because I said that this, the, the, the election of 2022 was existential, that the Republicans had to win, uh, at least the house.
00:58:42.060This is your chance to get a contract.
00:58:43.920I've only, I've only, uh, by the way, when Reagan was president, Arthur Finkelstein, I worked for his firm, you know, we did work for the president of Reagan through the RNC.
00:58:53.300Uh, when, uh, George W. Bush was president, uh, they hired us to, you know, after I worked for Steve Forbes, they hired us through the RNC to do work for President Bush, get him reelected.
00:59:04.480Uh, but when you work for President Trump, they don't hire you.
00:59:08.180So I don't know what's the problem with that.
00:59:31.460Uh, we always give our guests the last word, as you know, John, uh, you're concluding thoughts here.
00:59:37.100Well, you know, the great thing is we've started the year with some momentum.
00:59:41.140The country's problems have gotten even more serious.
00:59:43.800And clearly when, when you're looking at that, people are really worried about the inflation, the economy, immigration, and the border crime in our streets.
00:59:53.920Um, the only way we're going to solve this is a major change in the election.
01:00:11.160And once Donald Trump has the nomination again, the Democrats and the national establishment will go all out in every way possible to stop him.
01:00:21.580So, uh, this is a historic battle coming again, and we've got to make sure that we elect again our historic president who beat them in 2016 and make sure we beat them again.
01:00:31.120John McLaughlin, as always, great to have you with us.
