00:01:18.340 Hello, everybody. I'm Lou Dobbs. Welcome to The Great America Show. Great to have you with us.

00:01:27.620 Happy Monday. A big week ahead and a lot of work to get done in Congress this week,

00:01:32.140 particularly for the Republicans. After the RINOs in the Republican conference voted to oust Jim

00:01:37.760 Jordan as their speaker-designee last Friday, the Republicans are now back to the very beginning,

00:01:44.560 square one, back in conference to vote on a new speaker to bring to the floor. The RINOs may have

00:01:52.100 won that battle last week when they held up Jordan on every vote from becoming speaker,

00:01:57.500 but there may be enough conservative members in Congress who truly understand President Trump will

00:02:04.500 be the nominee and the American people, now beaten down by the Marxist-Dim Biden regime,

00:02:11.140 desperately want to return to America-first policies, secure borders, controlled immigration, 0.89

00:02:18.320 prosperity, and a government that works for them, not a government that targets them.

00:02:23.500 Voting Jordan down may have been a huge mistake for the Republicans, who are clearly indifferent to

00:02:29.180 their constituents' will and who are just as clearly being led in this moment by the RINOs 0.71

00:02:35.340 and their establishment donors. Jordan spoke to reporters after losing that secret ballot

00:02:42.060 to remain speaker-designee.

00:02:44.940 I told the conference it was an honor to be their speaker-designee, but I thought it was important

00:02:51.380 that we all know, get an answer to the question if they wanted me to continue in that role.

00:02:59.360 And so we put the question to them, they made a different decision. I told the conference that I

00:03:04.900 appreciated getting to work with everyone, talk with everyone. I got to know members in our conference

00:03:09.160 that I didn't really know that well over the last three weeks, and that we need to come together

00:03:15.760 and figure out who our speaker is going to be. I'm going to work as hard as I can to help that

00:03:20.580 individual so that we can go help the American people. And I'm also going to go back to work.

00:03:25.480 We got several depositions lined up next week in the Judiciary Committee, work that we need to do

00:03:30.800 for the American people in our investigative work. So we'll go back to work there. But it's

00:03:35.540 important we do unite. Let's figure out who that individual is, get behind him, and get to work

00:03:40.900 for the American people. Congressman Jim Jordan, a great American, a great Republican. In just moments,

00:03:47.200 we're going to be joined by former Congressman Devin Nunes to get his take on all of this.

00:03:51.940 But first, to some of the news and politics going on right now. The new Emerson poll has a, well,

00:03:59.680 I think an impressive result. It shows President Trump with a nearly 60% support on the national

00:04:06.880 level while every single one of his primary challengers are sitting at single digits. Let me

00:04:14.080 repeat this for the rhinos in Congress. 60% for President Trump. No rival above single digits.

00:04:24.040 Think of what that means. In the same poll, Donald Trump holds a slight lead over crooked Joe Biden

00:04:30.860 in their head-to-head matchup. While President Trump is seen as the 2024 frontrunner by just about

00:04:38.020 everyone, he is seen as a threat and an enemy by the Marxist Dems. Judge Arthur Engeron, the Marxist Dem

00:04:45.860 judge presiding over Trump's New York civil case, has fined President Trump $5,000 for violating a gag

00:04:55.720 order imposed by the Marxists and warned Trump twice about imprisonment. Can you imagine? These people

00:05:02.660 are trying to create conflict all over this country. The violation is from a post that the Trump campaign

00:05:09.300 didn't remove from their website, which showed the judge's clerk in a picture with the Marxist Dem

00:05:14.640 New York Senator Chuck Schumer. Well, joining us now, as promised, is the CEO of Trump Media and

00:05:20.340 Technology Group, former chair of the House Intelligence Committee, Devin Nunes. Devin, great to have you back

00:05:26.240 here with us and welcome back. As you're watching what's unfolding, first, the Republicans were going to

00:05:32.500 expand the powers of Speaker Pro Tem, and Jordan was going to step aside until January. The next thing

00:05:39.580 we know, the plan is dead and Jordan goes up for a third vote, and then just hours after that, Jordan

00:05:45.520 is no longer the Speaker nominee. This couldn't get much more complicated, could it? Well, this was my

00:05:52.120 concern, Lou, last time I was on your show, is that if you're going to get rid of the Speaker,

00:05:58.740 which was McCarthy, you better have a team of people ready to go that can actually get in there and do the

00:06:06.040 job and win. And, you know, clearly, that wasn't thought through. And so now, nobody can agree on anyone. And I get

00:06:15.360 it. It's a small majority, smallest majority. I never had to operate when I was in Congress with that small

00:06:20.940 majority. It's not easy because any four or five people can cause a rupture. And, you know, look,

00:06:29.320 what they're doing, doing the Speaker Pro Tem concept, I just think is a fool's errand. I mean, 0.96

00:06:37.440 they either need to elect, they got to elect somebody from within, or they need to just go to the outside

00:06:43.920 and put somebody in for the rest of this Congress if they can't get their act together. But I think they

00:06:48.160 look, you know, it's starting to look, I guess I would say this, I mean, this is just my political

00:06:55.620 radar speaking, is that this, the terrorist attack and atrocities in Israel have given the Republicans,

00:07:07.420 you know, a little bit of a window here to straighten out their, their act. And I, because I think most

00:07:13.240 people are watching what's happening in Israel. But as this continues to go, this could hurt the

00:07:19.740 Republicans in terms of being able to recruit candidates and, and actually go out and win

00:07:25.640 the election in 2024, so that they don't have a four seat majority, what they really need is a

00:07:30.440 20 or 30 seat majority, along with a President Trump, if they were in a United States Senate,

00:07:37.200 if they want to get something done.

00:07:38.480 Devin Nunes, folks, is one of the smartest people to, to come out of Congress, in my opinion,

00:07:46.400 if not the smartest over the course of the last 20 years, and savvy politically, as well as in terms

00:07:54.000 of governance. I want to ask you the political question here. We see Steve Scalise, obviously hating

00:08:00.820 on Jim Jordan. We see Kevin McCarthy, who says, there are no wounds and no lingering resentments.

00:08:09.020 Well, it's, politics is always, you know, three dimensional chess playing. And you always have to

00:08:19.720 remember, too, that, and I always cautioned, you know, my fellow colleagues when I was in Washington,

00:08:26.560 you know, one, never say what you'll never do. And two, always remember that today's enemy,

00:08:32.480 you know, could be tomorrow's best friend. Because when the government is, is functioning properly,

00:08:39.620 which hasn't been for a while, but when it is, you know, things typically would break down,

00:08:45.680 could break down politically by party, could break, break down by an issue that, that, that some

00:08:53.680 Republicans and some Democrats are really care about. Lots of times there would be regional issues

00:08:59.600 that matter to people where, you know, you make it a block of votes that may vote for a region,

00:09:06.420 just depending on whatever, whatever that issue may be. And, and these are the things that the,

00:09:11.880 that these guys have to, when I say these guys, the Republicans have to remember, and,

00:09:16.620 and we're not the Democrats, Lou, in terms of the longevity of, of members of Congress. I mean,

00:09:24.120 if you, if you look at what the Democrats are, they've got the ancient 1960s hippies that are

00:09:30.620 still there in Congress, i.e. Pelosi and company. Yeah. Well, it's true. I mean, I worked with these

00:09:37.940 people. These are radicals. They, they're radicals. They, they transformed San Francisco. A lot of that

00:09:43.740 was a hotbed of, of craziness that started in the sixties and seventies. And you can trace it back.

00:09:49.660 The history is clear. I mean, you probably remember, um, this will be a blast from the past,

00:09:54.840 but Lou, probably only you and I will remember this name, but you remember Burton, the Burton family.

00:09:59.560 There were two brothers. Um, you know, they were the ones that really orchestrated that

00:10:05.140 transformation in the sixties, where those guys went from kind of conservative union Democrats to

00:10:11.660 embracing, uh, radicalism. And it was, it was Burton who I think he, it was the one was in,

00:10:18.740 one served in the state legislature forever. Another one was in Congress forever, not to go

00:10:22.700 back through boring history here, but it's important because Burton seat became Nancy Pelosi.

00:10:28.440 And then Nancy Pelosi, the Bay area continued to grow Nancy, that whole movement spread. Uh,

00:10:36.240 then you had the likes of the Bernie Sanders, et cetera, that, that popped up and the radicals that

00:10:40.700 popped up in New York city. Um, and it transformed the democratic party from what would have been

00:10:45.500 historical blue collar union party into a radical regime that really is Marxism. And then they adopt

00:10:53.580 these cult like, uh, um, uh, philosophies like, you know, one on the one day, it could be the whole

00:11:00.060 green movement. The next day it's global warming. Uh, the next day it's LGBTQ plus. Um, but they jump 1.00

00:11:07.480 from cult to cult to cult all in the name to just get power. And that is kind of the, from,

00:11:12.820 from my perspective, the definition of Marxism now went through that little history lesson for your

00:11:19.140 poor listeners here. Um, just so they know where this originated, but now there's a, there's a new

00:11:25.380 strain in the democratic party. And that is they're getting the young people. So the, the old hippies as 0.80

00:11:31.380 they go are slowly being, a lot of them were there forever. I mean, we used to joke, I served on the

00:11:37.300 Ways and Means Committee, uh, Lou, as you know, for a long time, a lot of people know me as the chair

00:11:41.880 of the House Intelligence Committee, but I also served on the Ways and Means Committee. I mean,

00:11:46.640 we used to joke that, you know, those members from like my first, I don't know, decade in Congress

00:11:52.040 and decade on the Ways and Means Committee, the top row for the Democrats never changed. We joked that

00:11:56.700 it was the pull-up hero. It was, you know, the Charlie Wrangles of the world and, uh, Pete Stark. I mean,

00:12:03.260 you know, these guys that had been there, been there forever. Um, as those guys have gone,

00:12:08.060 they've been replaced by true trained young Marxists. And that's where you're getting these,

00:12:17.320 yes, that's where you're getting these squad members. Um, and they're very disingenuous. Um,

00:12:25.000 they're, they, they, you know, on one hand they're for Palestinian, uh, rights and, you know,

00:12:31.240 accusing the Israelis, you know, quickly on bombing hospitals that didn't happen. Um,

00:12:36.020 and then on the next, the next breath, they're flying an LGBTQ flag. And now as you and your

00:12:43.220 listeners know, if, if one, if anybody showed up there, some young woman shows up in Gaza Strip

00:12:52.500 on the LGBTQ flag, that person is going to be taken to the tallest building in Gaza and throwing 1.00

00:12:58.080 off the building, um, or in most parts of these, where you see these radical, uh, Islamic, uh, 0.95

00:13:05.200 regimes and, you know, same thing with Iran. I mean, they support the Iran regime, which, 0.79

00:13:10.720 you know, women have no rights in Iran. So they're not stupid. That was my point. 0.99

00:13:16.340 And meaning these Marxists are not stupid. They are what they are. They're Marxists. They're smart. 1.00

00:13:20.920 They're conniving. Uh, they take whatever cult that they can glean onto, and they put forward a

00:13:25.920 coalition of hopefully, uh, just zombie voters. And then they stay there forever. And that's the

00:13:32.740 difference. So I, I went into this long diatribe because the Republicans, there's been a long,

00:13:37.100 a lot of turnover, right? I mean, there's, there's, you, you get guys that get in and know that,

00:13:41.320 you know, they've been in business or they've been doctors that come in, then they'll run for

00:13:45.280 another office or they'll retire. But, you know, I want to say that I think two thirds of the

00:13:50.840 Republican conferences is, is new just in the last, uh, you know, six to eight years. Don't

00:13:56.700 quote me on that, but it's, I'm giving you about the round numbers. Right. And, and that's the

00:14:02.920 difference. So, so the, the, the Politburo style Marxists, they're there, they know what they're

00:14:08.180 doing. And then our guys are all kind of rugged individualist. They, they want to have it their

00:14:13.100 way. They're business guys. They want to have it their way. Um, and it just, as bad as it

00:14:18.880 sounds, it doesn't work that way. And that's what I tried to educate my former colleagues on like,

00:14:24.960 guys, like whoever comes out of the conference, you got to go with that person. And that person

00:14:31.100 needs to stay in for a full term. If you don't want that person at the full term, then you start

00:14:35.880 quietly campaigning to run for one of those offices, whatever it be speaker, leader, whip,

00:14:41.740 whatever it is, you quietly do it behind the scenes. And then come November, right after the

00:14:47.100 election, you open up a full blown campaign and you go get the votes. That's how you're

00:14:52.280 supposed to do it. And that, that brings order and stability to the conference. And that's

00:14:56.980 what I think they're lacking right now.

00:14:58.960 We're talking with Devin Nunes and when he talks, we all should listen. And we're going

00:15:04.720 to listen as we continue right after this, we'll be right back. Stay with us.

00:15:09.760 We're back with Devin Nunes. We're talking about the issues for the Republican conference

00:15:20.980 as they are in the midst of a speaker battle as to who will be speaker, who should be speaker

00:15:27.140 and how they'll get there.

00:15:28.940 I think the short answer to that, Lou, is that you've got, you got 20, 20 members there

00:15:36.200 that are roughly holding out. Every one of them has a different grievance. You know,

00:15:44.260 there, there, there may be some blocks and you see like the New York group that, you know,

00:15:47.840 they must, I'm sure they have some issues. I think there's like four New Yorkers.

00:15:52.400 They want to be Democrats, but they just don't have the guts to do it.

00:15:56.300 Well, the rest of them, the rest of them are, or kind of a hodgepodge. I mean, look, you

00:16:01.780 have, for example, you have, um, I think a buck out of, um, uh, Colorado. I served, I

00:16:11.320 served with him. Um, very decent person. Um, but you know, he didn't want McCarthy and

00:16:18.120 then, so he voted, you know, to get rid of McCarthy, but then he turns around and doesn't

00:16:23.400 want Jordan. So, you know, I don't know how you fix some of that. Um,

00:16:28.560 Well, how about Don Bacon? How about Don Bacon in North Carolina? Explain him to us, can you?

00:16:35.700 So, so Bacon from Nebraska, that is a, so Nebraska does a strange, uh, they have a strange system

00:16:42.800 where they actually allocate their presidential, uh, vote by congressional district. There's only

00:16:49.720 three congressional districts actually in Nebraska. And I think what's happened. So Don has been one

00:16:55.240 of those. Matter of fact, I've, I went in there and did a campaign in that Omaha seat almost my

00:17:00.740 whole career. I mean, I think every year I was, I was in Omaha campaigning for whoever the candidate

00:17:05.240 was, because that was always such a crucial wing district for us. And, you know, Don is a, is a,

00:17:12.680 you know, former general, uh, he's, you know, very passionate guy. And I don't know, I'm not in

00:17:18.600 there. So I don't know what happened behind the scenes, but there appears to be, you know, some,

00:17:25.460 something must've happened internally there where Don is, is, is really upset at somebody. I don't

00:17:32.300 know who, uh, but he's upset about something that happened. And these are the types of things that

00:17:37.280 unless you're in there, you don't know what happened mano a mano, right? Where, you know,

00:17:43.060 promises were made, promises weren't made, whatever it is, there's disagreements.

00:17:46.260 Well, just hopefully they're able to, to, you know, at some point they got to get all,

00:17:52.480 they need all, whatever there is left now, 222 Republicans. They all got to vote for somebody.

00:17:58.880 I mean, and it needs to be 222. They can't have one or two or four. They just can't do that. It just

00:18:05.780 looks silly. Well, silly is, I mean, voting for, uh, John Boehner for crying out loud. These, 0.97

00:18:13.280 there are a group of them that are not taking this very seriously nor responsibly. I mean,

00:18:17.880 frankly, there are enough, what I would call screw balls, uh, and just blowhards in that little 0.61

00:18:25.240 group, uh, to, to carry the load. I mean, it's, I wouldn't want to be the guy who has the job of

00:18:32.340 bringing them to reason and, uh, since, uh, because it looks, I mean, they make the, they make 1.00

00:18:38.520 the Republican conference look like damn idiots. Yeah. They're all look, they all need to get their 1.00

00:18:46.340 act together. And I was given my daughter, my, she's in high school, uh, given her a ride to school,

00:18:52.980 uh, this morning and she was asking me what was going on. And, and, um, you know, it's hard to

00:19:01.240 explain. And, you know, she was around it, you know, her whole life. I mean, she was, she, you

00:19:06.200 know, attended my swearing in, she, she would go visit me in, in Washington in the summer. And, um,

00:19:13.300 you know, she's just having, when, when, when a 15 year old is having trouble understanding what the

00:19:18.160 Republicans are doing, you know, you got a problem. Let's talk about taking on somebody. Uh,

00:19:24.020 how should the squad be handled, spreading, uh, hospitalized, uh, taking over the, the, uh,

00:19:32.580 you know, the rotunda. I mean, this is, this is ignorance of a proportion that, uh, we haven't seen

00:19:39.160 even from them before. Well, this is the, this is the challenge. And this is why I, I strongly advised,

00:19:46.340 uh, you know, to, to, you know, keep, you know, you elected a speaker, keep the speaker through the

00:19:51.980 term, which would have meant, which would have meant speaker McCarthy. That was my advice at the

00:19:55.980 time, because I said, you're, you're losing. What can you really do? Um, I think I was on your show,

00:20:02.740 um, you know, the last time I think we, we talked about, look, the, the best thing they can do

00:20:09.340 is get their message focused and do short-term CRs talking about the border and the corruption at the

00:20:15.400 DOJ period. And that's it. And just tell Biden and company, look, we're not going to give,

00:20:19.620 we're not doing an omnibus bill. We're not going to do, you know, you're not going to be fully

00:20:24.380 funded for the, for the rest of the year. That's because that's what the Democrats want. And that's

00:20:28.140 what a lot of Republicans want. They just want this appropriations thing to be over. They all want to

00:20:31.680 get all of their little, uh, pork packages and special interest stuff into either an omnibus bill

00:20:38.240 or separate appropriations bills. Um, and that's what the Republicans need to need to fight 0.54

00:20:43.180 against. They, they need to not, I just don't believe that there's going to be any good

00:20:49.340 appropriations bill that would come out of the house and Senate and be signed by, and be signed by

00:20:54.880 Biden. And let me add, let me add to what you were saying about the CRs. Uh, Devin's idea was to do 30

00:21:02.760 day, maybe 45 day CRs. And correct me if I'm wrong in my, uh, reporting here. Uh, and basically, uh,

00:21:11.180 have a, uh, a power of the purse lever, uh, over the heads of the executive branch. And if they're

00:21:19.180 not performing, whether it's a border security, whether it is constraining, uh, spending, whatever

00:21:24.180 the issue may be, uh, they would have the ability to, uh, to snap back, uh, with, uh, with a significant

00:21:31.940 threat against, uh, the purse, uh, that is, well, it's best funding. Well, especially if you don't

00:21:39.920 want to give them a full year's funding under any scenario here, because you're not going to get

00:21:44.440 what you want. So, and I know some people say, well, don't do CRs. Well, well, your only other

00:21:49.380 option then is to do a deal with the Democrats. So you have to do, you have to have a CR strategy.

00:21:53.980 The only way you win that, the only way you can ultimately win a spending or policy fight

00:21:59.820 is by moving the hearts and minds of Americans. You cannot do that. If you've got every member

00:22:06.260 talking about different issues. So they've got to be saying that, look, we're not for shutting down

00:22:11.280 the government, but we're not going to have a corrupt DOJ that's interfering in our election. 1.00

00:22:16.900 If you can get 60% of the people to understand that you can, you can, you can win. If the same

00:22:23.520 is true with the border, um, you've got an invasion at the border. So if you say, we're

00:22:27.860 not going to fund more than 30 days or 45 days until you stop the invasion at the border, if

00:22:34.800 everybody's out talking about that, then you can move people, you can move the population.

00:22:40.520 And that's the only way you're going to move politicians is if, is if you have a, if you

00:22:47.580 have critical mass and look, that's hard to do. Um, it's seldom been achieved, but if there's

00:22:53.080 ever a time to do it, I mean, Lou, you've followed politics longer than I have. Um, and you follow

00:22:59.920 this border crisis. I mean, you've been on top of this from the very beginning. Um, this

00:23:05.540 is an invasion. I mean, this is, this is, I mean, you have a hundred and some countries,

00:23:11.640 people coming from all around the world. Um, and then the same is true with the department

00:23:16.580 of justice. We've never had a department of justice that is this out of control. So look,

00:23:22.360 I say all this because they need, so that's the strategy for the spending. And then the

00:23:28.960 strategy for the investigations is they got to work, you know, seven days a week and twice

00:23:35.420 on Sunday on the investigations. They need subpoena after subpoena after subpoena, and

00:23:40.940 they're not doing that. That's the problem right now. They're all engulfed in this, this,

00:23:44.800 this, this, you know, in inter, uh, uh, uh, party war instead of focusing on the power

00:23:53.740 they do have, which is the power to subpoena and investigate. And then that leads to things

00:23:58.420 you, you brought up this and I, and I do want to just briefly just at least, uh, expand on

00:24:04.080 this. What happened, uh, this week with the strange Palestinian pro Hamas, uh, um, invasion 0.78

00:24:14.840 of the Capitol, I guess we call it an insurrection now because that's the new name. Um, and I had

00:24:19.760 made this point at the time on January, January 6th, which I did not support anybody breaking

00:24:25.080 windows and breaking federal property. Um, but we have a whole new standard now in this country

00:24:31.260 that if you are protesting your government, um, you now get arrested and you now get fined

00:24:37.820 and you get prosecuted. And what happened this week that every Republican ought to be

00:24:44.180 saying, okay, department of justice, you have, I don't know what, what, how many people have

00:24:49.200 been prosecuted. Now you still have the people being held in jail. How many of the pro Hamas, 0.98

00:24:53.960 pro Palestinian people this week, how many of them are being held in the DC Gulag? I mean, 0.87

00:25:00.760 that should be immediate. Like, you know, that's what I would do. I'd say, okay, Chris

00:25:03.900 Ray, Garland, what is it? Are you going to answer that question? How many of the people

00:25:09.300 this week are being held in the DC Gulag? Because what they did is no different than what a lot

00:25:15.920 of people on January 6th did. And I just see breaking the windows, but I know that they shut

00:25:22.240 down Independence Avenue. You know where that's at. I mean, they obstructed members of Congress.

00:25:26.940 They tore down signs outside members of Congress's offices. So if this is the new norm,

00:25:34.740 the Republicans need to focus on why or what are, you know, mostly Republicans on January 6th,

00:25:41.540 I think there were a lot of agitators and feds in there. How did you, how do you let 150 people

00:25:48.740 block the entrance to the Cannon office building? How do you let that happen? And Republicans,

00:25:55.080 this is why they need to get a speaker, stop this, and then they need to hold, use the power

00:26:01.920 they do have. And that's something that they really do have, right? I mean, if January 6th is

00:26:06.900 the new norm, then either the January 6th people need to be released and treated like the pro-Palestinian

00:26:12.580 people, or the pro-Palestinian people need to be treated like the January 6th people.

00:26:17.040 That is overcharged and over-sentenced. I want to, I want to wrap up here, Devin, with a very

00:26:25.320 straightforward question on the, the president and the appropriations for the special counsel.

00:26:34.320 What is, what in the world is going to happen here as we watch this proceed?

00:26:41.520 Well, this is the, this once again is the danger, not to, not to be repetitive, but I,

00:26:50.800 I just have to tell you that it's going to be, um, it's going to be a problem moving forward when

00:26:58.720 you don't have the power, you know, when you're not subpoenaing people and you're not going after

00:27:04.940 people. And that's what needs to happen. I mean, the Republicans need to fool in. They need to,

00:27:10.960 they need to demand that this nonsense stop. And I, and I say that because it's, it's nonsense.

00:27:18.000 I mean, it's the document stuff in Mar-a-Lago. I mean, I know that world very, very well. Um, as,

00:27:23.940 as, as, as you know, I mean, your listeners may not know, but I was on the intelligence committee for

00:27:28.940 years. Um, that is a hoax, that is a hoax period. Um, and then the, of course the, the, the property

00:27:37.080 thing in New York, that's a joke. Um, you know, as you see, they're valuing, you know, 18 million

00:27:43.220 dollars of Mar-a-Lago, which is, which is just stupidity. Yeah, I put it in my bed. And then you've 0.99

00:27:48.800 got this. Yeah, exactly. I think everybody would. And then you've got this, and then it's just an

00:27:54.820 extension of, of, of January 6th. And, and president Trump and the American people's right

00:27:59.380 to protest the results of an election, which is the basic rights of, of, of every American to

00:28:08.880 question the outcome of elections. Which both Democrats and Republicans have done forever.

00:28:16.940 I've got to ask you about the gag order because you're talking about the expression and protest and,

00:28:21.380 and the punishment for exercising your first amendment rights. Here's the president with

00:28:27.020 a gag order from a Marxist, uh, I mean, a Marxist federal court judge. It's outrageous. It's an,

00:28:35.460 is that not straightforward intervention in a, uh, interference of a, in an election?

00:28:42.380 It completely is. And this is why I'm, and this is, I go back to that the Republicans in the house

00:28:49.240 need a speaker. And that should be, that should be one of the first, when we talk about the two

00:28:53.340 issues, the border and DOJ corruption, this is a prime example of that. I mean, Trump is going to

00:28:59.320 be the nominee. Republicans have to step in, even if they don't like Trump or they don't want to be,

00:29:05.000 they don't want to support Trump. The fact of the matter is the, you know, the Republican party

00:29:08.180 is supportive of Trump. Republican party members across the country are supportive of Trump.

00:29:12.560 And, and then they need to hold, they need to subpoena after subpoena, after subpoena. How,

00:29:19.200 how would this ever happen? A gag, but it's, it's everything. I mean, it's, it's the documents hoax.

00:29:24.240 It's the gag order. It's, it's everything Lou, but then look, I'll, I'll tell you, let's turn to

00:29:29.260 are not the Republicans don't hold the gavel in the U S Senate, but I will tell you very few. And I,

00:29:36.280 and I haven't seen what every single Republican Senator has said. So I don't want to just paint with a

00:29:41.440 broad brush, but you do not see very many Republican U S senators calling the department

00:29:49.500 of justice into question. And that is a problem. I mean, every elected official, even if you don't

00:29:55.980 support Trump, you know, at least on the Republican side, you should be calling out that there's no

00:30:03.660 Republican elected official that ought to be thinking that anything the department of justice

00:30:09.540 is doing right now is, is not only outside the norm, but it's actually destroying this,

00:30:16.040 the very fabric of our nation.

00:30:17.600 And I said very directly here, the department of justice, the FBI, the intelligence agencies

00:30:24.860 of this country are politically corrupt. The Biden regime is throughout agency and every,

00:30:31.040 every agency and every department corrupt. Devin, we, we appreciate your time.

00:30:37.100 Uh, we, uh, always appreciate your wisdom and thoughtfulness, uh, and, uh, God bless you.

00:30:43.600 Thank you, Lou. I, I, hopefully I, uh, uh, you know, I know it's frustrating times for you,

00:30:50.760 you and, uh, and your listeners, but, um, you know, you just take it day by day and you,

00:30:55.500 you just try to call balls and strikes as best you can.

00:30:58.040 There you go. You can do as much as you can. So I appreciate everything you do for the country

00:31:05.980 and have done and, uh, take care of my friend.
