00:00:00.000 Hello, everybody. Welcome to The Great America Show. I'm Lou Dobbs, and it's great to have you with us. Thanks for being here.
00:00:07.360 The big bank bailout is underway, the FDIC making whole the depositors of three failed banks, Silvergate Bank, Silicon Valley Bank, and Signature Bank.
00:00:19.500 The Biden administration says even those depositors with balances in excess of $250,000 will be covered by the government.
00:00:30.000 Trying to stop a wildfire of banks folding, but so far, so good. Bank stocks recovering from sharp losses yesterday.
00:00:39.200 Six banks put on a watch list as the regulators moved in to make sure balance sheets are strong.
00:00:45.360 China is warning the United States to expect years of confrontation with China after the U.K., Australia, and the U.S. have signed a nuclear-powered submarines deal.
00:00:57.440 The three nations working swiftly to prepare for conflict with China as President Xi promises China wants a far more prominent role in the reform and construction of a new world order, a global governance system.
00:01:12.260 In response to China's increasingly aggressive commentary and ambitions, the United States plans to spend more money than ever on weapons and defense, $824 billion for hypersonic and advanced missiles,
00:01:28.420 and more jet fighters and weapon systems to defend Guam and U.S. military posts throughout the Asia-Pacific region.
00:01:35.840 The Chinese communist threats now extend to Central and South America as well, and the Caribbean.
00:01:42.720 The Chinese working with the Mexican drug cartels to ship fentanyl and other deadly drugs into the United States. 0.97
00:01:49.980 Researchers say enough fentanyl has been shipped into the United States this year to kill our entire population.
00:01:57.260 Our guest today is Derek Maltz, former DEA top official and former agent and Great American.
00:02:04.640 Derek has been sounding the alarm on fentanyl for years.
00:02:09.240 Derek, it is good to have you back with us again here on the Great America Show.
00:02:13.380 You always have so much information on what's happening in this country when it comes to the drug trade,
00:02:19.120 the impact of these Biden open borders, and of course, the role of the federal government.
00:02:24.380 Let's start, if we may, with this week's assault on the port of entry in El Paso, Texas by a thousand migrants. 1.00
00:02:31.700 It was astonishing to watch that unfold.
00:02:35.020 Your reaction?
00:02:36.660 Well, look, the cartels are going to take advantage of vulnerabilities and weaknesses, okay?
00:02:44.020 Biden is known as the migrant president in Mexico.
00:02:47.580 They know if they get to America, they're getting freebies, okay?
00:02:51.340 Our taxes are going to go up.
00:02:52.760 Our schools are going to be crowded.
00:02:54.520 Our hospitals are already busting at the seams.
00:02:57.020 So these migrants, most of them just want a better life, and they will take advantage of the wide-open border 1.00
00:03:03.480 and the current policies of this administration.
00:03:07.200 But it's very, very sad because we're seeing so many guardaways, Lou, that are coming into America, 1.00
00:03:13.880 like we have over a million.
00:03:15.300 I think it's 1.2 million known guardaways.
00:03:17.820 And this is those folks that we consider high-value targets, and we have no idea who they are.
00:03:24.280 We don't know what they're bringing.
00:03:25.840 You know, I mean, they're coming from China, from Russia, from Yemen, from Syria, from Iran,
00:03:31.020 from, you know, all these countries that hate America.
00:03:33.980 So we can have, you know, terrorist, you know, acts being developed in our streets today in this country
00:03:40.340 because we don't know who's here.
00:03:41.660 And these other migrants, they're filing these false asylum claims, all right? 1.00
00:03:47.300 So the whole system is out of whack.
00:03:49.540 Like my buddy Tom Holman says, and I love the line, right now it's legal to be illegally here in America
00:03:56.900 because there's screwed-up leadership.
00:03:59.860 Yeah, I think Tom, as usual, has got it right.
00:04:02.280 And the idea that things can be so screwed up, so wrong, so upside-down and wrong-headed
00:04:11.600 is straightforwardly the motto of the Biden regime.
00:04:18.560 And what is, to me, instructive is yesterday's assault on the port of entry at El Paso.
00:04:27.120 There's no repercussion.
00:04:28.540 They've turned them back, said the spokesman for the Border Patrol.
00:04:33.960 Yeah, they turned them back.
00:04:35.380 But where are the questions about how did they decide to do that surge and that assault at that very moment?
00:04:44.620 What was the point?
00:04:46.200 Who organized those thousand migrants, as they're now called,
00:04:51.500 to surge across the border at the port of entry in El Paso?
00:04:57.320 Well, look, no one wants to ask these questions in the national media
00:05:01.780 because the answers are truly revelatory.
00:05:05.840 Well, Lou, one thing I know from dealing with this stuff for many years
00:05:10.320 is that the cartels are benefiting from every single migrant that comes into America,
00:05:15.320 and they're taking total advantage of these people as well.
00:05:19.180 And so the cartels are building up numbers, they're building up strength, they're building up capacity,
00:05:25.180 and they are operating like narco-terrorists like we've never seen.
00:05:29.660 So it's really, really frightening, and all Americans should care because they're right on our border.
00:05:35.520 I mean, we cared about Afghanistan, we cared about Syria, right?
00:05:40.340 And we put all this military money into this stuff to go after these high-value targets.
00:05:45.660 Well, we have them right over our border, and right now they're operating with impunity.
00:05:49.720 And what's scary is they're working with the Communist Party of China,
00:05:52.620 who's our biggest adversary that we're aware of, according to our FBI director.
00:05:57.300 Well, the FBI director is in and of himself a hoax being perpetrated on the American people.
00:06:05.660 And this administration, of course, thinks that's just fine.
00:06:09.280 But to suggest that Ukraine is more important than Sonora, Mexico,
00:06:16.320 to suggest that the lives being lost in Ukraine are more important than the 100,000 lives
00:06:25.040 that are being lost to fentanyl and other deadly drugs transported across that border
00:06:30.820 are somehow more important.
00:06:33.160 I think we need to put up a new placard in America.
00:06:37.400 American lives matter.
00:06:39.860 What do you think?
00:06:41.260 Absolutely.
00:06:42.300 I mean, look at this, Lou.
00:06:43.620 Do you know how a vice president, who's supposed to be the borders are?
00:06:46.980 There was a news article yesterday talking about her outreach to Africa
00:06:51.540 and a visit that she's planning, or maybe she's there now, I don't know.
00:06:55.040 But can you imagine how screwed up the priorities are?
00:06:59.260 And then our press secretary just last week with Peter Doocy
00:07:03.400 is talking about how the fentanyl is at historic lows on the border.
00:07:08.980 And our Homeland Security secretary is talking about operational control.
00:07:14.520 You can't make it up, Lou, and it's really sad for the public.
00:07:17.840 It really is.
00:07:18.540 And you mentioned the White House press secretary.
00:07:21.180 For the life of me, I have never seen a press secretary who had no idea in the world
00:07:28.980 of what they were talking about.
00:07:30.960 And that is not an accident.
00:07:32.840 Everyone in that administration knows who she is, what she is, how is she performing. 0.99
00:07:38.600 And she must be doing exactly what they want, which is confusing those poor reporters 0.99
00:07:43.940 who, by the way, are going to report whatever she says anyway.
00:07:48.040 I will accept, certainly, Peter Doocy.
00:07:50.580 He does a terrific job and a handful of others.
00:07:53.940 But for the most part, the White House press corps, they might as well be on the payroll
00:07:59.120 of the White House.
00:08:01.160 They might as well be flashing their Marxist DIM membership cards on their chests.
00:08:08.260 It is pitiful to watch.
00:08:12.320 Absolutely.
00:08:13.220 And it's daily.
00:08:14.160 It's not like one thing.
00:08:15.380 It just keeps getting worse.
00:08:17.180 Meanwhile, as we're being invaded by over 160 countries, migrants coming in from these 1.00
00:08:22.900 countries, but it's hard to imagine that the American public is not concerned about this
00:08:28.080 1.2 million guardaways because those are the ones that scare the hell out of me.
00:08:32.740 Okay.
00:08:32.980 Most of the ones that are coming through, like we saw on TV, they're people just trying
00:08:37.420 to get away from, you know, poverty in their country.
00:08:40.480 They want the freebies.
00:08:41.980 They want the college education.
00:08:43.620 What about in New York?
00:08:44.960 I was, I'm from New York, Lou, and I was listening to the mayor talking about giving all these
00:08:49.800 migrants free education going to the SUNY schools in New York.
00:08:54.160 If you're college age, you go upstate, we'll give you the education.
00:08:57.600 What about all of us who have paid loans and all the kids and grandkids that are paying loans
00:09:02.700 to go to college and with these, these migrants are being treated better than citizens and 1.00
00:09:07.720 the homeless.
00:09:08.380 Look at a homeless problem.
00:09:10.240 Yeah, but no one will look at the homeless problem.
00:09:12.920 No one, even the, even the veterans associations are doing nothing about the number of veterans
00:09:17.540 who are, are part of the homeless problem, who are living in squalor when we should be taking
00:09:25.920 care of them.
00:09:26.500 They obviously, those who are there, and by the way, not just veterans, I think all of them,
00:09:31.840 they either have drug problems, they have psychology, psychological problems.
00:09:37.260 It is one thing after another.
00:09:39.920 And this country was spending all that it does on each one of these issues, can't contained
00:09:46.440 with it because this administration in two years has brought in an estimated 6 million
00:09:51.780 illegal immigrants and no one, and I'm talking about the media, the, the American people,
00:09:58.520 we don't know where those, those illegal immigrants went.
00:10:01.560 We don't know what they're doing because they were delivered in the dark of night, either
00:10:05.600 on a chartered aircraft or chartered bus somewhere all across the country.
00:10:10.920 And I suspect primarily in, frankly, red states, so-called Republican controlled states, where
00:10:18.220 they're having the, the maximum impact sought by this administration, which is to turn them
00:10:23.840 into purple states.
00:10:25.820 Right.
00:10:26.360 And I, I know one thing for sure, because I was at the account in this past week paying
00:10:30.500 my taxes and the taxes keep going up because we have to pay for this.
00:10:35.120 Someone's got to pay the bill.
00:10:36.500 And it's hard to imagine like, you know, January there was less than 200,000, but prior to that
00:10:42.380 there were 200,000 or more migrants at the Southwest border.
00:10:46.980 I mean, that's insane.
00:10:48.120 You know, already we have 875,000 through January.
00:10:52.920 Okay.
00:10:53.260 But again, I go back to the gotaways because those are way more concerning.
00:10:57.220 And then you look at the amount of money that they're paying the cartels.
00:11:00.880 We wonder why people wonder why the cartels have the ability to produce so much methamphetamine
00:11:06.300 and so much fentanyl these days working with the Chinese because the money's flowing right 0.99
00:11:11.460 back to them quickly.
00:11:12.960 Because the Chinese implemented a very, very complex, sophisticated scheme for them. 1.00
00:11:18.640 And the chemicals are flowing like we've never seen in the history of the cartels.
00:11:24.020 We're under assault right now by the People's Republic of China, the CCP. 0.73
00:11:29.820 And most, in most elected officials, I include Republicans, Democrats, independents.
00:11:35.080 They don't know or are simply incapable of contending with the reality that we are not only in a
00:11:43.700 cold war with the People's Republic of China.
00:11:46.900 The People's Republic of China has got us under full assault through the drugs they're exporting, 0.99
00:11:53.060 through all of their activities and espionage, front companies that they built in this country,
00:11:59.880 the Confucius Institutes, the insinuation of Chinese nationals into our university and
00:12:06.080 government laboratories.
00:12:08.200 This is a wholesale assault by the Chinese. 1.00
00:12:12.600 And this administration is acting in league with the CCP.
00:12:19.380 It may be because he is compromised.
00:12:22.380 It may be because he is simply infatuated with China's brand of communism.
00:12:28.120 It may be that he is so impaired that he has no conscious understanding of what is happening
00:12:34.860 around him.
00:12:35.700 I choose from column A, B, and C.
00:12:39.240 Your thoughts.
00:12:40.380 Yeah, I was going to say it's all of the above.
00:12:43.120 I mean, because it's hard to imagine that this guy would allow this to happen to our citizens.
00:12:49.040 And again, I am a big believer in America first.
00:12:52.160 But you know what, Lou?
00:12:53.120 I was running the Special Operations Division, and I saw the start of the synthetic drug bombing 0.84
00:12:59.360 around 2008 with the K2, the spice, the bath salts, and then in 2012, the fentanyl.
00:13:05.660 And a lot of people don't realize that we briefed Eric Holder when we saw this coming.
00:13:10.360 We saw like the perfect storm of fentanyl deaths around 2013, 2014.
00:13:15.060 And we started briefing the administration about this is really, really serious.
00:13:20.680 We created like, you know, fentanyl awareness flyers and stuff like that.
00:13:24.980 But there was no interest.
00:13:26.520 We tried to document some of these Chinese synthetic brokers as like major kingpins, and 1.00
00:13:31.900 they ignored it.
00:13:33.020 So it was the Obama and Biden administration where it all started with the synthetic drugs.
00:13:38.660 Now, of course, they've been doing methamphetamine production with the cartels for many years,
00:13:43.580 long before that.
00:13:45.060 But it's really sad to see how they are progressing.
00:13:48.120 Now, I could tell you this, Lou, because this is new.
00:13:50.580 You may have seen some of this.
00:13:52.100 But now we're seeing this flesh-eating drug called TRANK all over America.
00:13:57.300 It's called Xylazine, but it's a legitimate pharmaceutical drug that's used for, you know,
00:14:03.260 sedation.
00:14:04.140 And like, it's a horse tranquilizer, as an example.
00:14:07.100 It's not made for human consumption.
00:14:08.820 But now the drug traffickers are going on the websites in China, and they're ordering
00:14:13.600 it for as low as $1 a kilogram, $1 to $10 a kilogram.
00:14:17.980 They import it through the mail services.
00:14:20.160 They mix it in with the fentanyl.
00:14:21.640 They create the pills in our country.
00:14:23.640 And our kids are dying at record levels.
00:14:25.800 That's another assault on our country coming from the labs in China, just like the COVID, 1.00
00:14:31.640 you know, Chinese virus, as we said, okay?
00:14:34.920 And now you have also, Lou, a more potent synthetic opioid called nidazine, isonidazine,
00:14:43.760 and etonidazine.
00:14:44.920 That's coming up in autopsy reports all over the country.
00:14:48.500 That's coming from Chinese labs as well.
00:14:50.800 So it's a new phase of assaulting and killing and destabilizing America by these chemicals 0.85
00:14:57.200 at our labs in China.
00:14:58.740 And we're sitting back like, no big deal.
00:15:01.180 Nobody's even talking about it.
00:15:02.640 Well, we're talking about it and have been for a long time.
00:15:07.460 And when you talk about Trank, folks, this is a drug you also may be familiar with in
00:15:12.500 some level as the zombie drug, because people are rendered to that level of consciousness
00:15:20.740 by these drugs, if not killed outright.
00:15:25.060 Let's talk about that, Derek, just for a moment here.
00:15:28.580 And that is, how confident are you in the numbers that are being used when we talk about
00:15:36.500 107,000 opiate deaths, including 80% of those being fentanyl deaths in 2021?
00:15:45.680 Are you comfortable with that number?
00:15:47.760 Because frankly, I'm not.
00:15:49.560 Absolutely not.
00:15:50.720 So first of all, when I testified at Congress, I called out the CDC director.
00:15:55.000 I called out the Department of Education.
00:15:57.320 So let's talk about the stats.
00:15:59.200 The Families Against Fentanyl, headed by the founder, Jim Rau, who lost his son in Ohio,
00:16:04.460 they're doing the work now for the CDC because the CDC is not being held accountable.
00:16:09.700 And that's really sad because during COVID, we had every day on the TV, COVID cases, COVID
00:16:15.660 deaths, right?
00:16:16.360 Real-time numbers.
00:16:17.500 Now, she herself even admitted, the CDC director, that there were some issues with the COVID stats,
00:16:23.640 and she fell on the sword.
00:16:24.720 But right now, with the fentanyl-related deaths, they're not even talking about that.
00:16:30.200 And so Jim Rau and his organization had to go through a lot of the CDC statistics, and
00:16:35.220 they're the ones that came up with the conclusion that the number one cause of death for those
00:16:39.780 in 18 to 45 age range is from fentanyl.
00:16:44.180 And he also came up with new statistics, which are very alarming, about the fastest demographic 1.00
00:16:50.360 as kids under 14, okay?
00:16:53.180 So, you know, it's unbelievable.
00:16:55.680 Like, under one and then from, you know, five to 14 and then from one, I don't know, from
00:17:00.340 two to four or whatever it was, they're like quadrupling or tripling the amount of deaths
00:17:05.920 in a two-year period.
00:17:07.040 But my point of answering it that way is we have no idea how many people are dying from
00:17:12.600 fentanyl.
00:17:13.120 And, by the way, no one's even keeping track of the first responders, Narcan, you know,
00:17:18.700 saving lives, hundreds of thousands of people being saved.
00:17:21.760 If it wasn't for Narcan, the numbers would probably be like a half a million.
00:17:25.620 I mean, that's just a guess.
00:17:26.780 I don't have any knowledge for sure on that because we don't get the numbers.
00:17:30.540 Because, of course, all the antiquated laws that are going on in the country, you know,
00:17:35.780 basically what we have with the HIPAA laws, you can't even talk to, you know, anyone about
00:17:41.220 like you just revived a, you know, a 17-year-old kid in high school because, of course, that
00:17:47.100 would be a HIPAA violation.
00:17:48.560 But it's like we said earlier, everything is so antiquated and we're not up to speed with
00:17:54.560 the current assault on America.
00:17:56.380 And that's the big problem, Lou.
00:17:58.420 President Biden is not capable of running the federal government.
00:18:02.060 I don't think anyone should even pretend that he is.
00:18:07.180 Whoever is running this government, whether it's Susan Rice, a cabal of Obama acolytes,
00:18:12.720 I don't know who it would be.
00:18:14.940 But I do know this resembles too much the third term of Barack Obama to be an accident.
00:18:20.240 There is no interest in saving these people's lives on the part of the federal government.
00:18:25.020 There is absolutely no interest in saving American lives.
00:18:29.820 American lives do not matter to this administration.
00:18:34.120 That's why he wants to go to war in Ukraine with Russia.
00:18:37.880 He's put our troops into harm's way on the eastern flank in Europe.
00:18:43.660 It is why he doesn't do a thing to control that border, even though he knows the deadly
00:18:52.480 consequences that occur every day as a result of his lack of border security policies.
00:19:00.240 It's just we have to confront the fact that we are the enemy of this presidency and this
00:19:06.920 regime.
00:19:08.460 It sure seems that way to me, Lou.
00:19:11.040 And then, like, I don't know what made me think of this, but it's just driving me nuts
00:19:15.280 because not only is there soft on crime and corrupt leadership north of the border, but
00:19:22.020 there's a lot of that going on south of the border.
00:19:24.540 Look at AMLO's statement last week that they don't produce fentanyl in Mexico.
00:19:30.180 Meanwhile, February 14th, he announced the largest fentanyl lab ever in Mexico and talked
00:19:35.840 about this is something new.
00:19:37.840 And it just outright, like, bold-faced lies, and nobody is, like, getting that.
00:19:43.080 You know, it's unbelievable.
00:19:44.480 Like, they're lying north and south of the border to the public, and kids are dying at
00:19:49.220 record levels.
00:19:49.700 It's hard to imagine that anybody would want to see kids dying.
00:19:54.660 It is hard to imagine, except we don't have to imagine because it's the reality.
00:20:00.180 But the cameras of the corporate-owned national media won't be trained on those bodies and
00:20:07.420 those victims of fentanyl and other deadly drug poisons that are being trafficked all over
00:20:15.560 this country.
00:20:16.520 You won't see that.
00:20:18.280 And to tell you the truth, I look at the Daily Mail every day.
00:20:24.320 That's one of my go-to reads because I'm seeing better coverage of what is happening in America
00:20:30.340 in the Daily Mail, the UK newspaper and website, than I am from any, any newspaper in the United
00:20:40.620 States.
00:20:41.360 And that is a simple fact.
00:20:43.260 And by the way, folks, if you want to do that, go to DailyMail.com because they are doing
00:20:50.820 a terrific job of covering what's happening in this country.
00:20:54.000 Well, your newspapers, anywhere, you name it, I don't care what city, what town, they're
00:21:00.900 doing a better job.
00:21:02.020 And by the way, they don't advertise with us or do anything.
00:21:05.260 We don't have advertising in point of fact.
00:21:08.520 So I'm just saying that out of just a sense of fact and the body politic in this country
00:21:15.960 being so perverse that we have to turn to a foreign newspaper to actually get us at least
00:21:21.860 a better sense of what is happening.
00:21:24.520 Your thoughts, Derek, on that?
00:21:26.980 No, absolutely.
00:21:28.040 I mean, you can't get real news, right?
00:21:30.080 That's the reality.
00:21:31.180 And that's why I work very hard to talk directly to the people on the ground that are in the
00:21:36.480 agencies that are doing the investigations.
00:21:38.860 I'm trying to get as many facts as I can get.
00:21:41.820 And that's why I'm very thankful that you invited me to this because I know you're the
00:21:46.160 same way.
00:21:46.700 I've been following you for years and I know you're a credible, awesome American patriot that
00:21:52.040 cares about the public.
00:21:53.220 And that's how I feel.
00:21:54.800 So the thing is, I'm going to give you a quick example of what is going on with the
00:21:59.220 money.
00:21:59.980 So like last week, the DEA working with the locals out there, they seized one million
00:22:04.420 pills of fake, you know, the fentanyl pills.
00:22:07.000 And that's like, I guess, third or fourth, one million plus seizure.
00:22:11.300 But here's the point.
00:22:12.540 During the undercover negotiations, they were talking about 75 cents a pill.
00:22:16.660 And in Mexico, it's less than 15 cents to produce the pill.
00:22:21.940 So let's just talk about this $1 million seizure.
00:22:25.260 I mean, one million pill seizure.
00:22:27.660 If you want to produce one million pills in Mexico and you want to pay, you pay 15 cents
00:22:34.020 a pill.
00:22:34.520 That's 150,000 investment.
00:22:37.020 You get it into the US, you sell it for 75 cents a pill to the wholesale distributors.
00:22:43.040 But then they sell it on the streets, 10, 20, 30, 40.
00:22:47.560 And in Montana Indian Reservation, they sell for $140 a pill.
00:22:51.960 So anybody listening could do the math.
00:22:54.540 It's all about the money.
00:22:56.300 People always wonder, why do the cartels want to kill their customer?
00:23:00.380 They don't care about the customer.
00:23:02.460 They care about the money.
00:23:04.140 And the money is off the charts now.
00:23:06.360 And that's a good example.
00:23:07.520 It just happened last week.
00:23:10.260 And I wonder just how much anybody cares anymore.
00:23:16.120 There are some interesting demographic statistics that are emerging.
00:23:19.880 And amongst them, that 60% of young women have no interest whatsoever in getting married,
00:23:27.240 and i.e.
00:23:27.980 having children.
00:23:28.780 We are, particularly this younger generation, headed toward a childless society, not unlike
00:23:35.140 what China has experienced with its one-child policy for decades, and now are begging their 0.69
00:23:42.080 citizenry to have children, incentivizing them, and basically asking them to have three children,
00:23:48.440 not one, so that they will not have to do as our elites have done, which is invite in illegal
00:23:55.340 immigrants into this country to the decided detriment of both American society, the American 1.00
00:24:02.520 nation, and the American people who are now competing with even lower-priced labor than ever
00:24:07.740 before.
00:24:09.020 I just wonder where that all ends.
00:24:11.940 And with AMLO, with Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador as the president of Mexico, saying outrageously
00:24:21.400 that fentanyl is not our problem, it's a U.S. problem, he was reacting to just the hint
00:24:27.880 of violence that had been issued by a number of congressmen over the past couple of weeks.
00:24:35.320 And the reality is, only Donald Trump, and this is not an advertisement for a 2024 candidate,
00:24:42.800 it's just a fact.
00:24:44.180 Donald Trump is the only man, and as president of the United States, who said he would go to
00:24:49.900 war with the Mexican drug cartels, with the narco-terrorists of Mexico, the narco-state
00:24:57.020 of Mexico, over what they were doing to America and our young people in particular. 0.96
00:25:04.400 I have to believe that the only thing that will work here is if the United States finds,
00:25:10.980 in its somehow, finds its courage and says, we do want to protect this nation.
00:25:16.760 We do want to protect our national sovereignty.
00:25:19.960 We do not want further meaning, just absolutely atrocious deaths of our young people and actually
00:25:29.980 attack the cartels, because otherwise, they win.
00:25:34.140 Right now, they've won.
00:25:35.400 They control both sides of the border, don't they?
00:25:37.560 Yes, and Lou, I actually have been calling for the designation of the cartels as terrorists
00:25:44.420 for over five years.
00:25:45.540 I testified in Ohio Congress with Sarah Carter and one of the moms about four years ago that
00:25:52.520 this is very important for our national security.
00:25:55.200 But unfortunately, when President Trump was in office, the bureaucrats, the State Department,
00:26:00.680 others in the Washington swamp, convinced him it was too aggressive.
00:26:04.460 And he would have done it.
00:26:05.460 You're exactly right.
00:26:06.380 But now, it's kind of interesting, like, you know, Bill Barr, former Attorney General,
00:26:11.660 is talking this up everywhere about how they should be treated like ISIS and not like the,
00:26:17.560 you know, organized crime families, because criminal investigations against the cartels is
00:26:23.040 not working, because we can't get any of them extradited now out of Mexico.
00:26:27.320 They don't go out and pick them up.
00:26:28.700 They don't share information with the U.S. law enforcement.
00:26:32.300 And look what just happened in court with Hernero Garcia Luna, the FBI director equivalent in
00:26:38.500 Mexico, who was working for Sinaloa cartel in Chapo Guzman.
00:26:42.420 So we can't rely on corrupt and soft on crime leaders in Mexico to save American kids. 0.70
00:26:49.480 We can't do it.
00:26:50.400 So the only choice now, Lou, and I use, I stole an analogy from a friend of mine who lost his nephew.
00:26:56.680 If you had a massive plumbing leak in your house, you're going to shut down the main valve right away.
00:27:02.420 Well, we have a massive fentanyl disaster in America.
00:27:06.120 We have to shut down the valve, which is the cartel labs.
00:27:09.980 So we've got to destroy those labs and use whatever capability, the full force of America's power to do it now.
00:27:18.040 And if they're not going to do it with us, we have to do it without them, just like it was ISIS or Hezbollah or Al-Qaeda. 0.79
00:27:24.540 Because guess what, Lou?
00:27:26.080 In the history of this country, unless I'm wrong and no one's challenged it, we've never seen any terrorist organization killing this many Americans.
00:27:34.120 So at what point do we say enough is enough?
00:27:37.800 You know, it may be that we haven't seen in any year of any war, perhaps the Civil War.
00:27:47.200 I think almost certainly the Civil War, 100,000 Americans be killed by the enemy.
00:27:55.300 And they are the enemy.
00:27:56.800 It's time we also awaken to the fact that China is our enemy. 0.98
00:28:00.380 We have so many people walking around in a delirium that is not drug-induced.
00:28:07.980 It is induced by the psycho warfare, and I call it psycho warfare, not psyops, advisedly.
00:28:18.400 Psycho warfare that is being waged by our government on the American people.
00:28:21.980 It is just, to me, utterly unthinkable that we are putting up with a Mexican president who said fentanyl is your problem, and there is no response from this government whatsoever.
00:28:36.920 And you and I know something else, too, don't we?
00:28:39.300 We know that the intelligence agencies of the United States have to be, have to be either aligned with the cartels or, and beneficiaries of their corrupt monies, or there is an effort to achieve another end that is not obviously in the interest of the United States.
00:29:05.680 Your thoughts about why our intelligence agencies have not been more robust in responding to this cataclysm?
00:29:15.980 Well, that's a head spin, Alou.
00:29:18.040 I mean, as an American patriot myself, my father was in the DEA for 30 years.
00:29:22.900 My brother died in Afghanistan fighting for the country.
00:29:25.460 It's hard for me to believe, because every interaction I've ever had with leadership in the intelligence community, it's always been about protecting America from foreign actors, right? 1.00
00:29:36.260 And this is not what I'm seeing now.
00:29:38.380 So action speaks louder than words, okay?
00:29:40.820 So something is going on.
00:29:42.440 I don't have specific knowledge on exactly what it is, but what I can say is that it's all about the money.
00:29:48.820 In my experience, it's always been about the money.
00:29:50.840 And I see what goes on in this beltway with the corruption, with the contracts, and the business that's going on.
00:29:57.620 And so I don't like what I see.
00:29:59.760 I don't like what I smell as an investigator my whole life.
00:30:03.220 But I can tell you what.
00:30:05.100 It's certainly the activities are not in the best interest of the American public, because we've never had this happen.
00:30:12.480 And the fact that no one's even talking about it from the White House and going out, like, simple things, Lou.
00:30:19.000 We don't even have public service announcements from the Department of Education or the White House about the dangers of these deadly synthetic drugs.
00:30:27.680 What we're doing now is we're teaching people how to use them safely.
00:30:32.320 We want to teach them how to inject themselves safely now.
00:30:35.720 It's insanity.
00:30:36.940 And we're spending taxpayer money on that stuff.
00:30:39.620 And I always, nearly always, point out on this podcast, every commercial that every American sees every day, that is an expression that is the voice of American business.
00:30:54.720 They are the ones buying those commercials, producing those commercials, and expressing the values in those commercials.
00:30:59.840 And I want everybody today listening to The Great America Show to pay attention to the television you do watch, however little or however much.
00:31:10.620 Those commercials, because they portray the American family as something idiotic, pathetic, and comic, it is disgusting the way the American public is being portrayed.
00:31:25.780 And if you see a commercial that you think is a realistic portrayal of the American family or the America you know and the America in which you live, we'd love to hear from you here at LouDobbs.com.
00:31:39.440 You know, send me an email at Lou at LouDobbs.com.
00:31:44.600 We want to hear from you, because what I see when, Derek, what I see when I look at television right now is something from a hellhole that I have never been able to understand where it resides.
00:32:00.100 Because these people are perverse, they are, many of them satanic, these commercials are produced by some of the most depraved, and I think indecent minds imaginable.
00:32:14.440 Yeah, I mean, you know, it's so frustrating, and even, like, when I testified, I was questioning, like, why the White House can't get with, like, the professional athletes, celebrities, role models, social media influencers, and have a summit at the White House.
00:32:29.680 This would be real easy to do if they cared.
00:32:32.340 And then have those people help educate the kids by developing real short social media reels to get out so the kids can see the dangers of the poison.
00:32:42.060 But, unfortunately, that's not going to happen.
00:32:44.440 You know it's not going to happen, because our professional sports leagues are linked in with China.
00:32:49.520 Money is off the charts, right?
00:32:51.600 And that's a big problem.
00:32:53.220 I mean, I was on the other day, and I got a direct message from Ennis Cantor, who's now Ennis Freedom.
00:32:59.860 He wants to help because he understands what China's doing and how it's corrupting our country and how it's all about the money. 0.98
00:33:06.740 So I don't know what to say anymore, because it's just nothing that makes sense in my brain, in the current path that we're on, and the fact that there's no accountability for any of this stuff.
00:33:18.180 And it's really sad for those that have kids and grandkids for the society that they're walking into now.
00:33:26.120 It's sad for America that there isn't a will in the body politic to say everyone knows that Biden is impaired, that he is a slave of the Marxist Dems Party, that he is in no way not aligned with communist China.
00:33:45.420 Everything he does, whether it's draining the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, selling them crude oil, disbanding the task force that was created under Trump to fight the espionage and surveillance activities of the CCP in this country.
00:34:04.500 I mean, it's one thing after another, and for the American public to just sit slack-jawed and sort of stunned by it all is not an adequate response.
00:34:16.760 And by the way, just as slack-jawed and just as stunned are our elected officials, too many of them.
00:34:23.520 I want to credit the House of Representatives.
00:34:26.140 The Republicans are going after China.
00:34:28.680 They're going after the weaponization of our government against us.
00:34:32.120 They're going after this president and his crooked family who have, as James Comer, the chairman of the committee, announced yesterday, they now have the documents that prove that he was receiving millions of dollars from the Communist Party.
00:34:49.980 It is rancid, and we must rise up.
00:34:55.180 That's all there is to it.
00:34:56.400 At least our conscience and our consciousness must rise up to contend with all that is befalling this country.
00:35:05.280 And all of it is not—there's no accident here, folks.
00:35:08.940 It's happening out of the design of China and the other mortal enemies of this country, and including some who are within this country already. 1.00
00:35:18.420 I hope that we can rise above this.
00:35:22.240 I'm not necessarily hopeful that it'll happen soon, but I just—I truly believe we have to awaken or we're going to lose this great country of ours.
00:35:34.440 And one of the things I want to just say to the audience again, and I say it often, but be skeptical.
00:35:41.000 Don't trust this government.
00:35:43.400 Don't trust your state government.
00:35:45.680 Don't trust your local government.
00:35:47.820 That doesn't mean that they are, by the way, committing wrongdoing, but it does put on you and me the burden to know what is true, know what is real, and demand the same from our government.
00:36:01.820 Because we're looking at unprecedented, unprecedented, pervasive political corruption throughout our society.
00:36:10.720 Derek, I just want to say how delighted I am you're with us, and I want to, as always, give you the last word.
00:36:17.300 We always give our guests here the last word.
00:36:20.020 So with that in mind, I'll ask for your concluding thoughts here today.
00:36:23.660 Well, one thing I have to say, based on your last statement, is as Thomas Jefferson said, the government you elect is the government you deserve.
00:36:31.680 That's pretty scary.
00:36:33.180 But what I would say to the parents out there, one thing that's really important, I highly recommend you watch Dead on Arrival.
00:36:40.300 It's a very short documentary.
00:36:42.080 It talks about the death and destruction of this fentanyl.
00:36:45.780 And remember, addicted people need help, and mental illness is on the rise.
00:36:51.400 The government's not dealing with that.
00:36:53.740 So kids are sadly turning to these pills for help, right in your houses.
00:36:58.600 They're ordering up deadly pills from social media sites.
00:37:02.420 They're being delivered to the house, and they're dropping all over the country.
00:37:06.640 So you can't treat or educate a kid in the damn morgue.
00:37:11.460 So you have to proactively engage as parents to teach them about this deadly scourge that's killing historic amounts of kids.
00:37:21.400 Thank you so much, Lou.
00:37:23.060 Derek, thank you for being with us.
00:37:24.580 Derek Maltz, great American.
00:37:26.580 And thank you, everybody, for being with us today.
00:37:29.020 Here tomorrow, our guest is Congressman Tom Tiffany.
00:37:31.740 Tiffany has introduced legislation to force the federal government to end racial preferences and discrimination of any kind on the basis of race.
00:37:42.420 Desperately needed legislation to rein in our Marxist-led federal government in this age of wokeism.
00:37:49.380 And Congressman Tiffany also has a bill to block President Biden from approving any binding agreement with the United Nations World Health Organization without Senate approval.
00:38:01.260 Also a critical piece of legislation.
00:38:03.520 And 14 co-sponsors already in the House.
00:38:07.200 Congressman Tiffany will be with us here tomorrow.
00:38:09.640 Till then, God bless you, and God bless America.
