00:01:14.940 Hello, everybody. I'm Lou Dobbs. Welcome to The Great America Show. Thanks for being with us.
00:01:23.280 The long-awaited resignation of RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel is at hand. She announced that she will
00:01:29.800 be resigning next month, bringing her seven-year tenure as RNC Chair to an end, a much-needed end. 0.91
00:01:37.160 She released the following statement to The New York Times following her resignation.
00:01:41.320 Quote, I have decided to step aside at our spring training on March 8 in Houston to allow our nominee
00:01:48.780 to select a chair of their choosing. The RNC has historically undergone change once we have a nominee,
00:01:56.480 and it has always been my intention to honor that tradition. End quote. She also ran off a number of
00:02:03.160 her accomplishments, but we won't bother you with those because they don't really amount to much.
00:02:08.100 She left out any mention of, well, trouble with funds and after a report last month showed the RNC
00:02:14.700 spent nearly $2 million on floral arrangements, consultants, office supplies, and limousines,
00:02:20.800 compared to the DNC's $122,000. Amazing. And while we're on the topic of RINOs, former Florida
00:02:29.160 Governor and failed 2016 presidential candidate Jeb Bush coming to the defense of President Trump
00:02:35.340 and Elon Musk this week, you heard me right, defending President Trump and Elon Musk.
00:02:41.940 Bush, in a Wall Street Journal op-ed, writes, quote,
00:02:45.080 Every American has a right to be critical of Mr. Trump's politics. One of us ran against him in 2016,
00:02:51.500 or Mr. Musk's personal persona. But equality before the law is precious, and these rulings represent a
00:02:57.780 crisis not only for the soundness of our courts, but for the business environment that's allowed the U.S.
00:03:04.400 to prosper. If these rulings stand, the damage could cascade throughout the economy, creating fear of
00:03:11.160 arbitrary enforcement against entrepreneurs who seek public office or raise their voices as citizens
00:03:17.320 in a way that politicians dislike. Bush, of course, still somewhat salty that Trump obliterated him in
00:03:24.520 the 2016 primary, getting in that little jab about his politics. Of course, that poses a problem when
00:03:30.880 one of them is America first and the other has been, let's say, America last. And the Russia 0.97
00:03:36.540 collusion hoax is back, brought to you by National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan. Warring on the First
00:03:43.280 Amendment last week and now on Meet the Press over the weekend, well, it should be called Meet the
00:03:48.780 Marxist, Sullivan spewing more propaganda when asked about Russia interfering in the 2024 election.
00:03:55.820 Listen to this. Are there concerns or is there even evidence that Russia is planning to interfere in
00:04:02.300 the 2024 election, Jake? I can't speak to evidence today, but I can tell you, of course,
00:04:09.480 there are concerns. There is a history here in presidential elections by the Russian Federation,
00:04:15.320 by its intelligence services. And there's plenty of reason to be concerned. And this is not about
00:04:20.560 politics. This is about national security. It is about a foreign country, a foreign adversary 0.69
00:04:25.760 seeking to manipulate the politics and democracy of the United States of America. We are going to
00:04:31.760 be vigilant about that. And we will engage the Congress on a bipartisan basis because this should
00:04:35.860 be above and beyond politics. Did you notice Sullivan's subtle disclosure before answering that
00:04:41.600 question? He admitted he was answering the question without evidence and then still went on to lie.
00:04:47.340 Our guest today is great American and president of Judicial Watch, Tom Fitton. Tom, thanks for being
00:04:53.500 with us. It was great to see you over the weekend at CPAC. And I have to say, you gave a great speech.
00:04:59.780 Well, thank you. You did a great job too, Lou. You know, there needs to be vehicles and events like
00:05:06.240 this where we can tell the truth. That's why the left hates CPAC, because there are too many truth
00:05:11.120 tellers there. Right, right. Well, there was one ultimate truth teller there, and that was President
00:05:18.060 Trump. The contrast between Biden getting all flummoxed in his black tie event over the weekend
00:05:27.000 and not able to finish a sentence, and that performance of President Trump's in which it was
00:05:34.060 wide-ranging, it was witty, it was humorous, it was substantive, and it went two hours. Can you
00:05:41.440 imagine what would happen if Joe Biden went an hour, let alone two?
00:05:46.720 Yeah, it's a marked contrast in terms of their cognitive abilities. And, you know, and this is
00:05:53.800 not a political statement. This is the reality. And that's the challenge that Biden has politically,
00:05:58.720 you know, because the secret is that, you know, President Trump is, you know, 77, but he doesn't
00:06:07.380 sound like someone who's lost a step. And that's simply not true for Joe Biden. I'm being charitable
00:06:14.000 there. I think he has evidence of significant cognitive challenges. And, you know, as I said in
00:06:21.560 his speech, Garland can't have it both ways. He can't accept her's special counsel report that says
00:06:29.240 that Biden's memory is so bad that, you know, no jury would ever convict him, and continue with him,
00:06:36.300 you know, with no objection to being president. Yeah, I think, and I think you're exactly right.
00:06:42.300 That her report is, I think, pivotal, because it makes official, if you will, his impairments,
00:06:50.680 and comes very close to bringing in his also his compromise, compromise position, which is with,
00:07:00.140 of course, the communist Chinese, we're looking at, you know, going there for just a moment to the
00:07:06.600 Penn Biden Center, where all of those documents that were stolen at some point by someone, if not
00:07:13.260 Biden who, but the reality is that the logs, the visitor logs for the center, for some reason,
00:07:21.720 somehow, were deleted from 2017 to 2021. And those are suspicious dates, don't you think?
00:07:31.000 You know, if Trump had similar issues, that would launch, that would have, that circumstance
00:07:36.640 would have launched congressional hearings, and, you know, three days straight of MSNBC commentary.
00:07:45.940 Absolutely.
00:07:47.020 But you have all these accidents happen that are inert to the benefit of President Biden and
00:07:53.360 the media yawns. And, you know, obviously, the big news this week is that, you know,
00:07:58.780 Hunter's supposed to come in on Wednesday and testify to the House.
00:08:02.980 I expect we'll be underwhelmed, and I'm frustrated it took so long for it to happen, but I guess
00:08:10.120 better late than never.
00:08:12.260 Better late than never. And he also had a remarkable quote for everybody that saying,
00:08:19.680 I guess speaking of himself in the third person, he said, Hunter Biden, remaining sober,
00:08:29.980 will be an act in support of democracy. I'm paraphrasing. But I mean, the arrogance of the
00:08:37.040 comment and the stupidity of it are a wonderful combination, a combination we've seen at work
00:08:42.540 before in things, Biden. But I mean, that's the kind of arrogance and stupidity that we're dealing
00:08:48.560 with here. Well, we're dealing with, you are, and also the investigating committees of the U.S.
00:08:54.880 Congress. I mean, some of it is just so ignorant and obvious.
00:09:00.600 I mean, think of the mirror. What's the mirror of that? The mirror of that is when he wasn't sober,
00:09:05.880 he was creating corruption problems for Joe Biden.
00:09:10.220 Yes, that's exactly the inverse corollary.
00:09:12.540 And it raises the question whether he's still sober. I, you know, look, and one can have sympathy
00:09:23.560 for that challenge that Hunter has, right? But still be kind of cynical that he's overcome the
00:09:30.480 challenge. And secondly, it's no excuse for the whole Biden family operation, of which Hunter was
00:09:41.040 only a cog in the end. It all relied on Joe to get it done. That was essentially a transnational
00:09:48.380 racketeering operation.
00:09:50.800 It's true. It is absolutely true. And as you suggest, none of us here is talking about,
00:09:59.600 we're not in any way mocking his addiction, but we are mocking the phony nonsense that has been
00:10:06.280 spun up around his addiction and the clear destructive force that's been unleashed, as it
00:10:12.380 always is, and those addicted, in this case, destroying perhaps a presidency, because we
00:10:18.280 wouldn't know anything about this if it weren't for that Russian disinformation laptop. It was awfully
00:10:25.300 good of the Russians to drop that by, wasn't it, Tom? 0.98
00:10:27.840 Yeah. And, well, you know, and that's an example of, you know, the sort of recklessness and decision
00:10:35.040 making associated with folks who are like Hunter, you know, leaving things like his laptop behind
00:10:41.720 at that computer store. I mean, that's something probably he wouldn't have done if he had his wits
00:10:47.400 about him. But, you know, even when he was a dick, even when he was, you know, in the thrall of whatever
00:10:55.220 he was dealing with, he was able to function in terms of doing business, and he was doing business.
00:11:01.540 And so let's not pretend that you get a get out of jail free card because you're addicted while you're
00:11:08.540 committed criminal acts. Usually that's a reason to make, you know, to pursue significant
00:11:17.100 prosecutions for you and increase the penalties, not the other way around.
00:11:23.240 And it is interesting that just about everything gets inverted with Hunter Biden and the Bidens.
00:11:29.820 You know, it's like the dog biting, commander biting agents, I think more than 20 of them,
00:11:37.720 at least 24 times. And still, the Biden family had this arrogance to suggest that, not suggest,
00:11:46.760 they demanded that the special agents of the Secret Service be chewed on by their dog. It's just a
00:11:54.240 wonderful benefit and perk of serving the Biden family in the White House. The disgusting nature of
00:12:02.800 these people is overwhelming. Whether it be their crimes and corruption, whether it be the way they
00:12:10.520 treat those who shouldn't demand respect, including the Secret Service, it just goes on and on.
00:12:18.660 Yeah, I mean, we uncovered that whole dog scandal, you know, and we got details that showed they were 0.98
00:12:26.220 lying about it. And then they got the second dog. We got a tip that the dog was out of control still,
00:12:33.380 that second dog. We uncovered it in July. New lawsuit results in new documents in the last week
00:12:40.780 coming out to the public. And, you know, I'm reminded of, you know, like some of these mafiosos 1.00
00:12:47.620 walking down the street and it's the godfather. He's got this vicious dog who's attacking everyone
00:12:53.760 and no one says anything because he's the godfather. And the Secret Service, those poor agents,
00:13:00.000 you know, in the more recent productions, one of those agents was taken down by the dog.
00:13:06.580 I mean, these were not nips. Not that that's acceptable. These were vicious attacks by the
00:13:12.540 dog, sometimes when the dog was supposedly under the custody and control of Mr. or Mrs. Biden.
00:13:20.880 Unacceptable. Unacceptable. You know, I happen to wonder what would have happened if in self-defense,
00:13:26.020 one of those agents had drawn his or her weapon and killed the dog. Straight up.
00:13:31.280 Well, that's what the agents were worried about, too, because they thought it was going to lead to
00:13:35.420 something like that. And they'd be within their rights to do it.
00:13:38.340 Absolutely. Absolutely. We're talking with Tom Fenton, president of Judicial Watch. We're coming
00:13:44.140 right back with much more. Stay with us.
00:13:46.780 Folks, you know, I beg everyone to get ready for the next crisis. And when it comes, our lives will
00:13:54.480 likely change overnight, whether it's natural disaster, war or another disease. We have to be
00:14:00.720 ready as we can be. We saw what happened in 2020 when we found ourselves dependent on global supply
00:14:06.400 chains. We're still dependent on China and other countries for more than 90 percent of all our
00:14:11.340 pharmaceuticals. With clusters of respiratory illnesses popping up around the world and here,
00:14:16.920 we need to be prepared. And now is the time to make certain you have what your family needs
00:14:22.500 when the next crisis hits. Our good friends, Dr. Peter McCullough and Dr. Drew Penske over at the
00:14:28.100 Wellness Company have put together just what you and I need with the Wellness Company's medical emergency
00:14:33.180 kit. And now the Wellness Company's medical kit provides a solution critical to you and your loved
00:14:39.060 ones. This emergency kit includes eight lifesaving medications, including amoxicillin, Z-Pak and
00:14:45.360 ivermectin for you to keep on hand, along with a guidebook for safe use. From tick bites to
00:14:51.040 biochemical events, every medical scenario is covered. Be prepared for whatever comes next. Go to
00:14:57.400 TWC.health.gov and grab your medical emergency kit right now. Go to TWC.health.gov now. That's TWC.health.gov.

00:15:16.900 Wellness Company's medical emergency kit. Prepare today. Be ready tomorrow.
00:15:21.500 We're back now talking with Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch. And Tom,
00:15:29.180 I want to turn to the Trump legal issues. He has now appealed that outrageous $454 million judgment
00:15:38.620 in the New York civil fraud case against the Trump organization. What are the, what in your judgment
00:15:45.940 are the likely results of the appeal? Oh, I think in the end, I don't know if it will be thrown on its
00:15:54.880 entirety, but certainly the, the confiscatory fine is going to be curtailed. I mean, that's what they do
00:16:03.580 in third world dictatorships. And I don't think New York, at least if the judicial system is willing to go
00:16:10.300 that far, maybe the entire country's lost. But I, I can't imagine the appellate court's going to uphold
00:16:16.520 that type of fine. But in the end, he's still being abused and punished through the process.
00:16:22.520 Now, the other dangerous thing in New York is this Alvin Bragg case, you know, another unprecedented
00:16:29.380 novel application of the law to try to get Trump in a way that's never done before.
00:16:35.360 I think he's going to be convicted if that goes to trial. It's a New York jury. And, you know,
00:16:41.220 I think these cases are largely rigged. It's a democratic machine that's putting him through
00:16:46.960 this. So this is, this is, and as I noted over the weekend, Lou, I said, you know, our elections
00:16:55.120 are already compromised, right? You know, and the question is, do we get an outcome that reflects
00:16:59.800 the will of the people or not? Even if, because sometimes you can have a compromise election
00:17:05.160 and, you know, things work out in the end one way or the other. But let's not pretend that this is
00:17:12.240 not compromising our election as we speak. Well, it is with that question. There's already
00:17:17.900 election interference, whether we be, whether we're talking about Fulton County, whether we're
00:17:23.280 talking about, excuse me, the Manhattan district attorney, Albert Bragg, Letitia James, the attorney
00:17:30.060 general in New York, or Jack Smith, special counsel, and the list goes on. We're talking about
00:17:36.280 election interference. It's obviously coordinated. It's orchestrated. And not even, not even the
00:17:42.920 sometimes obtuse Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, John Roberts, can ignore the obvious,
00:17:49.700 I would put it this way, collusion of the Marxist Dems, the deep state, all to destroy President
00:17:57.500 Trump and to prevent his reelection. I don't know why we could not expect more of Justice Roberts
00:18:06.140 as Chief Justice and to intervene directly and bring this stuff to a halt, because he has that power.
00:18:13.780 Yeah, I mean, the appeals court in New York, if it even ruled the wrong way, the Supreme Court could
00:18:18.760 step in and try to resolve it for President Trump. I mean, there are these other issues about the
00:18:25.640 efforts to bum rush him into a trial here in the District of Columbia without fully adjudicating
00:18:34.660 or fairly adjudicating or competently adjudicating the questions of presidential immunity, where they're
00:18:41.480 trying to jail a president for his official acts, which has never happened before in American history.
00:18:47.400 So we could hear soon on that. But the Supreme Court could be the last line of defense in terms of
00:18:56.360 protecting the Republic from being lost completely in some respects.
00:19:02.280 Yeah, you know, the logical extension of that is if indeed the, and it appears very right now,
00:19:10.760 we're very close to that point, that edge. But it does look like checks and balances are done forever
00:19:18.920 in this constitutional republic if President Trump is not elected in November. Because the Democrats
00:19:25.500 are talking about packing the court, they're talking about who they are ignoring Supreme Court
00:19:30.320 judgments, like forgiveness of student loan debt, like affirmative action, and the list goes on.
00:19:39.500 The Biden regime is simply ignoring the judgments of the Supreme Court. I don't know how much more it could
00:19:47.660 be stood by the American people if the Supreme Court as the last resort abdicates. That would be an
00:19:58.720 invitation to open conflict in our society, don't you think?
00:20:02.140 Well, I mean, I think the left has been pushing for that. There's always this air of intimidation and
00:20:08.720 the threat of violence if they don't get their way. Right now, according to The Atlantic, you've got
00:20:15.920 leftists figuring out ways to upend the Electoral College count if Trump wins, not because of fraud,
00:20:25.760 just simply because they don't think he should be in office. Right. It's, it's really galling to think
00:20:32.080 that we have no, at this point, advanced superpower, if you will, I think we can still claim that, has no way
00:20:41.840 in which to stifle, to stop rampant corruption and political, political domination between the permanent
00:20:53.120 bureaucracy and the Marxist Dems who are running the Democrat Party as well as the federal government.
00:21:01.840 This, this is a seizure. It is without a question, the, an effort to turn this country in an entirely
00:21:09.600 different way, irrespective of our history, heritage toward, toward Marxism, perhaps communism.
00:21:17.120 But we are already a surveillance police state and we have much to overcome just to, to get back to
00:21:26.720 some kind of normalcy. Do you agree? Oh yeah. We've got this crazy censorship, Jack Smith taking up the
00:21:34.720 Twitter followers and tracking them through a subpoena. Everyone who supported Trump on Twitter.
00:21:40.720 It's crazy town in that regard. You know, and, and, and my view is, and I keep on coming back to this,
00:21:47.360 it's not like there are no tools available to try to check this in the, in the short term. The
00:21:52.960 Republicans nominally control the House of Representatives. They've yet to use the tool
00:21:58.240 and leverage they have with continuing resolutions, meaning the government will partially or, or, or
00:22:03.520 substantially close down unless they agree to enforce policy changes, such as making sure Biden
00:22:12.160 can't spend money affecting the invasion, shutting down the abuses of Jack Smith and curtailing federal
00:22:19.120 funding to those jurisdictions, hurting Trump in New York and Fulton County. If they're going to be
00:22:24.400 violating his civil rights, they shouldn't be getting federal money to help them do it. And then of
00:22:28.880 course, you've got the censorship issues and the other abuses, Biden, all of which are fully funded
00:22:33.520 through these continuing resolutions. Each time it's come up under the Republican control Congress
00:22:39.440 in the last several months. Now there's another opportunity this week and next to, you know,
00:22:44.480 maybe take a stand on one of those. How about just one of those issues that, you know what,
00:22:50.320 if, you know, if I were Speaker Johnson, I would have begun saying a month ago,
00:22:54.400 well, I know there's this continuing resolution coming up. I can't imagine we're going to authorize
00:22:59.600 the continued spending of tax money to move illegal aliens throughout the United States.
00:23:05.280 We can't allow that to happen. And the government's going to shut down unless it doesn't stop, unless
00:23:10.400 it stops. I think, well, we're going to, we're going to talk about what else needs to stop. We're
00:23:17.120 talking with Tom Fitton. We're coming right back, folks. Please stay with us. We'll be right back.
00:23:21.280 Lou Dobbs here. I'm delighted to let you all know that the program Lou Dobbs tonight has returned to
00:23:29.680 the air. That's right. Lou Dobbs tonight is back. We're live each and every weeknight at 7 p.m.
00:23:37.920 Eastern and 6 p.m. Central on rumble.com slash Lou Dobbs. That's rumble.com slash Lou Dobbs. I hope
00:23:47.680 you'll be joining us for Lou Dobbs tonight as our fight to save this country has only begun.
00:23:59.840 We're back now with Judicial Watch's Tom Fitton. Tom, I can't imagine why or how
00:24:08.080 these leaders in the House of Representatives can justify appropriating money for those departments,
00:24:15.120 those agencies, frankly, the entire government that is persecuting Donald Trump, that is keeping
00:24:22.240 1,200 American citizens in prison. They have been rolled. Hundreds of Americans remain in prison.
00:24:31.040 Those January 6 prisoners of the left, some of them have not yet had a trial date set, let alone
00:24:38.880 you know, been freed. It just goes on and on. What is happening with President Trump is absolutely
00:24:47.520 despicable. And yet, how could Mike Johnson have any hesitation in saying we're shutting down the
00:24:54.720 federal government until our border is secured, until there is effective interior enforcement of
00:24:59.920 immigration laws, until he stops with the nonsense with Ukraine, until he starts recognizing and
00:25:07.840 respecting the rights of Americans, instead of running a surveillance police state. To your point,
00:25:16.480 why in the world is there any lack of motivation? Well, to me, there's a leadership gap on these
00:25:23.600 corruption issues. Mike Johnson is as conservative as we are on virtually every issue. But he sees his
00:25:32.800 leadership role as something very different than I think Americans want from the Speaker, which is,
00:25:39.360 you know, he's trying to guide a divided caucus to try to get to certain places. And my view is you
00:25:46.720 provide the leadership. And if it's important, then you should demand, you know, people follow you in
00:25:53.280 this regard and push those who are on the outside of these issues, you know, the moderate left wing
00:26:00.560 Republicans, they need to get on board. I mean, our nation's at stake. We're not arguing over tax rates.
00:26:08.560 Exactly. And but he is a bit of that, isn't he? He's more of a conservative and a fiscal
00:26:17.200 the vain than I think any other. He is also oblivious, it seems to me, to the politics of
00:26:25.200 the thing. Here is Donald Trump right now, as we are going into, you know, Super Tuesday. He has,
00:26:32.880 he is now the, I think, officially the presumptive nominee of the Republican Party. There is no path
00:26:39.440 forward period for Nikki Haley, who has committed, I think, all sorts of suicides in this bizarre
00:26:46.720 adventure of hers. I mean, even the Koch network, Charles Koch is pulling back his money
00:26:56.240 from support of her. He spent, I don't know how much money, but almost 80 million just
00:27:02.320 for her, her campaign alone. It's, it is really amazing to me that then he says, we're going to
00:27:10.400 put that money that we've wasted on Haley. We're going to turn the rest of that money and more
00:27:15.200 to support rhino candidates in the Senate and the House. The arrogance, the, the tone deafness of the 1.00
00:27:22.880 man is, to me, utterly amazing. Well, you know, I try to avoid the direct political, you know, back and
00:27:32.160 forth there. Okay. I think we've got... I'll fill the gap, Tom. I'll fill the gap. Yeah, that's right.
00:27:39.760 I'll, I'll let you speak there. I think the biggest issue as it relates to the election
00:27:46.880 is the left trying to turn us into a one-party state. And I'm disappointed, Haley, and frankly,
00:27:52.480 the other candidates didn't really express outrage at that more. And it makes me think that maybe they
00:28:00.800 semi-supported some of what was happening against Trump. But in the end, they're trying to jail the
00:28:05.600 leading presidential candidate, seize his assets, seize, destroy his business, keep his name off
00:28:12.480 the ballot. How is that any different than what a third world or Putin-like character would do? 0.79
00:28:18.160 How is that any different? And, you know, just because you have a Republican party doesn't mean
00:28:23.280 you can't have a one-party state. And when you cow the other party into a state of diminitude,
00:28:29.200 right? Where they are refusing to oppose the major, the dominant party's abuse of power that scares
00:28:38.880 the populace from participating in the system. You know, we've had authoritarian states for many,
00:28:46.640 in many instances where you have more than one party, but the other parties are just, are neutered.
00:28:53.440 Right. And as we look at the one party neutered and the other not particularly strong,
00:29:03.760 there's just one force at work here. Without Donald J. Trump, the Republican Party does not
00:29:10.880 have an agenda. They do not have leadership. They do not have a philosophy. And they don't have
00:29:18.080 an agenda. With Donald Trump, they have the man who shut down the cartels and shut down the border
00:29:25.200 and stopped illegal immigration, reduced crimes and the flow of drugs and sex trafficking. And with
00:29:31.200 and with Joe Biden, he threw the doors wide open 2000 miles of border. He threw, he just simply put it
00:29:37.120 into the possession of the Mexican drug cartels. They own that border now. And they are, you know,
00:29:43.440 100,000 Americans dying of fentanyl is collateral damage to the Biden policies. And by the way,
00:29:50.080 you'd have to rise much higher than that for it to be of even any concern to them. Obviously,
00:29:56.240 we are in a in a matchup that I can't imagine this country would would accept anything but the
00:30:03.840 leadership of Donald Trump. As we wrap up here, what do you think? Well, you know, I think it's
00:30:09.760 the election is going to be close. And, you know, the polls show that Trump is the favorite.
00:30:17.920 And I'm just concerned about the lawlessness associated with the left's approach to political
00:30:22.400 debates. And we've got this corruption scandal here in Washington, D.C. that is the worst we've
00:30:29.760 ever seen in American history, both with the targeting of Trump and the compromise of Biden
00:30:34.800 by his own personal corruption. So, you know, those are the challenges. And, you know, if those,
00:30:42.880 if we fail to meet and overcome those challenges, I fear for the future of the Republic. And that's why,
00:30:48.240 you know, Judicial Watch is so adamant on talking and focusing on this.
00:30:52.320 Well, and we thank you for all that you and Judicial Watch are doing.
00:30:56.880 It's this is without a question in my in my mind, in my opinion. This is the existential election
00:31:05.280 that we have been talking about for some years. This is a decision on November 5th as to whether
00:31:12.000 or not we will retain this constitutional republic and where the country will go forward as a democracy.
