00:00:00.000 First Republic, PacWest, Silicon Valley Bank, just a few of the latest casualties in the banking
00:00:05.300 crisis. Don't wait for the email reading, sorry your account has been frozen, your accounts aren't
00:00:11.060 safe. Call American Alternative Assets at 866-3USA-GOLD to claim your free gold and silver
00:00:19.360 guide today. Once again, call now, 866-387-2465.
00:00:26.200 Hello, everybody, and welcome to this edition of The Great America Show. I'm Lou Dobbs.
00:00:34.600 Thank you for being with us today. And as we begin this new week, there's sure to be some
00:00:39.660 consternation and confusion aplenty, not simply because the Biden regime wants it that way.
00:00:45.640 Believe me, that's exactly what they do want. But because in many cases, many Americans, perhaps
00:00:52.420 most, seem oblivious to what reality even looks like. Not empirically, not statistically, or even
00:01:00.140 approximately. And worse, those same Americans often don't want to make the effort to find out.
00:01:06.680 And that's where I come in, folks. I like to help patriots who are working for America and making
00:01:14.020 America work. I'm here to serve, and there are lots of questions you and I deserve to have answered.
00:01:20.440 Corporate media isn't going to be of much help to us. They seem to be thrilled to leave every one of
00:01:26.480 us in the shadows and the dark, like nearly 20 years of near-stagnant wages for our middle class.
00:01:33.540 That ended with President Trump's arrival. Most increases in pay in that period went to the
00:01:39.560 highest paid workers. So let's take a look at a few examples. And forgive me for the numbers,
00:01:45.660 numbers. But there are three sets of numbers we do need to deal with. Rates, wages, and profits.
00:01:52.480 So please bear with me as we answer a few important questions the corporate media doesn't want to talk
00:01:57.880 about. Like, why is the Federal Reserve willing to raise interest rates and try to slow down the
00:02:03.840 economy? They say because of inflation. Wow, are wages inflationary? That's what they say,
00:02:10.720 and they hate inflationary wages. But you say if the Fed does raise interest rates, the economy slows
00:02:18.060 down. And with rates now at 5% and mortgage interest rates up to 6% to 7%, folks stop buying houses,
00:02:26.660 they stop buying cars, appliances, and lots of other stuff. Admittedly, most of that other stuff is made
00:02:34.100 overseas. But not all. So less is sold and less is bought by consumers who also happen to work.
00:02:41.360 They work in construction, retail, auto sales throughout our economy. So all the highly
00:02:47.020 sophisticated economists who work at the Federal Reserve and manage interest rates and money, all
00:02:53.080 they can really do is kill your job. Push unemployment higher. That's brilliant, don't you think? And you
00:02:59.760 wonder why corporate-owned media doesn't point that out. It's that corporate part. The Fed has other
00:03:06.480 choices, of course. Killing jobs, though, is the simplest. And after all, they're killing our jobs,
00:03:12.900 not theirs. And what about all those banks? Well, don't worry about them, especially the big banks.
00:03:19.500 A number of regional banks have run into trouble. Some have collapsed. But the Fed and the Treasury have
00:03:24.680 taken care of that. Actually, we taxpayers are bailing them out, but they don't mention that often,
00:03:30.220 do they? And the big banks, well, they're booming. Don't tell anyone, but the big banks are doing
00:03:35.840 great. Remember how the Fed wanted smaller banks to buy the busted regional banks because they didn't
00:03:41.660 want the big banks to get bigger? Well, get this. The biggest American bank, JPMorgan Chase, just got
00:03:48.460 bigger. Hugely. Chase now has 13% of all insured commercial bank deposits in the country. They just
00:03:57.520 reported profits skyrocketing by 50%. $12 billion for the quarter, not the year for the quarter. And most of
00:04:07.480 that money came from those interest rates, those higher interest rates that were raised by the Fed.
00:04:12.980 That interest income at Chase rose $21 billion for the quarter. See how that works? The Fed kills jobs, but feeds
00:04:23.460 banks. And that's the deal, folks. So where would we be without the Fed? Well, we'd have a free market in money
00:04:31.220 and banking, for one. We'd have a free market in credit and capital. And no bigger government, please. A bigger
00:04:38.400 government would only mean a bigger Federal Reserve system. And obviously, we don't need more of what
00:04:44.280 the Federal Reserve delivers now. Let's talk straight about what is happening here. The American middle
00:04:50.880 class and working Americans who aspire to join the middle class are being crushed. Not a single policy
00:04:57.740 of the Biden regime is designed to benefit middle-class America. Trillions in inflationary federal spending,
00:05:05.060 $2 trillion a year in deficits, tens of billions of dollars for Ukraine, tens of billions for social justice
00:05:13.220 programs, those policies benefiting corporate interests, U.S. multinationals, Marxist-dem programs, Wall Street,
00:05:21.160 you name it. The illegal immigrants pouring by the millions across our border, the border that Biden ceded to the
00:05:27.860 drug cartels, are competing with American workers for wages. And they're a tax burden at all levels of government.
00:05:35.360 Crowding our citizens out of schools, hospitals, and health care. The deadly drugs that have crossed
00:05:41.380 that border, killing hundreds of thousands of Americans. And who benefits? Not America, and certainly
00:05:47.980 not Americans. No one has been a stronger critic of Biden's disastrous border and illegal immigration
00:05:53.960 policies than our guest today. Derek Maltz has warned about the spread of deadly fentanyl poisoning
00:06:00.540 throughout the United States. That poison distributed by the Mexican drug cartels who worked with the
00:06:06.920 Chinese and killed those hundreds of thousands of Americans. Derek Maltz is the former director of the
00:06:13.240 Special Operations Division of the Drug Enforcement Agency. And Derek, it's great to have you back with
00:06:19.220 us. Welcome. The fentanyl death toll of young Americans still rising. Hundreds of thousands killed at the hands of the
00:06:26.740 cartels and the Chinese communists who are supplying them with precursor chemicals and laundering their
00:06:33.120 money. What can we do with a border that is wide open for the cartels?
00:06:39.240 Well, thanks for having me back, Lou. And unfortunately, I work with the families around America who are
00:06:44.780 burying their children at record levels. Right now, we're losing about 9,000 Americans a month from drugs. And the
00:06:51.820 majority of these deaths are from fentanyl poisoning because the cartels are working with their partners
00:06:59.240 in China. And they're actually delivering like there's a tsunami of this poisonous substance coming
00:07:05.540 into America. And they're very deceptive because the majority of of kids are, you know, addicted to some
00:07:12.760 type of medicine, maybe at times, or maybe they're just seeking some help from depression or anxiety. And
00:07:18.520 they're taking these fake pills that are being produced in these dirty, filthy labs in Mexico.
00:07:24.300 Cartels are taking total advantage. They're making billions of dollars, not only from the drug smuggling,
00:07:29.760 but from the migrant smuggling. So it's a new level. And actually, Lou, synthetic drug production
00:07:35.920 is something we've never seen at this level. And it's a game changer in America.
00:07:39.780 And a lot of people are dying. A number one killer of young American males, what is it, 18 to 45.
00:07:49.760 We are, we're in a crisis. But I'm thinking, how long have we been in a crisis? The Mexican drug
00:07:56.260 cartels have been operating for a half century now, crossing the line, what used to be called the wet
00:08:02.980 line in Arizona, crossing that border, peddling their wares, and Americans die. This country has
00:08:12.920 to take some responsibility. Don't you think, Derek? Because we have been, we've been accepting as
00:08:19.700 collateral damage, the deaths of untold numbers of Americans for all that time. We've had a just
00:08:27.820 say no campaign. We've had a war on drugs. And all of it was fiction, wasn't it?
00:08:34.760 Well, let's just look at it like this. I mean, the vulnerability that the Biden administration
00:08:39.840 caused at our border has created a huge business opportunity over the last two years for the
00:08:46.460 Mexican cartels, the Chinese criminal networks, and the corrupt and soft on crime leaders in Mexico.
00:08:52.240 So it's not just drugs, drug smuggling, it's migrant smuggling, sex trafficking, gun running,
00:08:56.920 and but the big difference, Lou, is that over the last several years, we're getting these deadly
00:09:02.800 substances coming out of these labs in Mexico. Before that, it was China. But China's behind all
00:09:09.320 of it. They're sitting back using the cartels as a proxy to do their dirty work to destroy and
00:09:15.680 destabilize our country. But the policies that this administrator put into place actually has created
00:09:23.380 a whole new problem for this country when it comes to this crisis.
00:09:28.260 I understand what you're saying. And I agree with you. My problem as a man who's followed this story
00:09:37.080 from Yuma, Arizona, San Luis, I am just sick and tired of it. I am really disgusted that the law
00:09:50.060 enforcement of the federal government, and I know that you ran a good part of the DEA. I know many
00:09:56.980 great Americans like you who have tried to stop this working for various agencies, the DEA,
00:10:04.100 the FBI even, but local law enforcement, the Border Patrol, of course. We have failed miserably because
00:10:12.320 we haven't, in my opinion, ever expressed the political will to shut down that border and to
00:10:20.180 protect this nation. And we've just accepted it. Now the deaths are just huge. I mean, we're talking
00:10:26.000 about over 100,000 people. The official number last year was 107,000 Americans died. You and I both know
00:10:34.100 that's bull. It had to be considerably higher. Your thoughts about why we can't muster the courage,
00:10:43.040 the will to shut this thing down? Well, great points, Lou. So let me make it clear. I'm a very
00:10:50.620 big supporter of law enforcement efforts. I know what they've been doing and the seizures they've been
00:10:54.900 making, but that is not good enough because the cartels are like an army. They have to be treated like
00:11:01.020 an army and we're too soft with Mexico. That's been the case. We've been kissing their butts for way
00:11:06.260 too long. And they're the ones on the cartels payroll. They're facilitating the movement of these
00:11:12.560 drugs across the country by keeping the cartels protected. That's why I've been a big supporter at
00:11:18.620 declaring the cartels terrorists and also the use of military capabilities to actually shut down the
00:11:25.900 command and control elements of the cartels. It's a real simple analogy. If you had a massive
00:11:30.940 leak in your house from a pipe that exploded, you would shut down the main valve. That'd be the
00:11:36.200 first thing you have to do. Well, our main valve for fentanyl poisoning is from the Mexican cartels
00:11:42.480 in Mexico. So the U.S. government should be way more aggressive dealing with the Mexican officials
00:11:47.800 and using all our power to be able to offer them support just like we did in Colombia years ago.
00:11:53.780 The problem right now you have, Lou, is that this president opened the border wide open. He doesn't
00:12:00.180 want to continue to talk about the border. I mean, our borders are nowhere to be found. She was declared
00:12:05.440 the one who's going to save us and she hasn't even been found. But the thing that's even more
00:12:10.460 important is this Chinese influence and the Chinese money launderers picking up money all over the
00:12:15.580 country. And this president will never talk about China because we know the business deals are
00:12:20.740 overwhelming that he and his family or his family did with with China. So they don't want to talk
00:12:26.320 about it. But you're right. We need the political will. But I wish to God somebody would recognize
00:12:31.260 that we can't rely on the soft on crime, corrupt leaders in Mexico to save American kids. We have
00:12:37.500 to take action. We need to shut that border down. We need to be bold. We need to be aggressive and
00:12:43.460 always put the American families and kids first. Right now they're treated last, right? 1.5 million
00:12:49.880 guardaways over the last couple of years. We don't know who the hell these people are. Just look at the
00:12:54.220 terror watch list numbers. I mean, we already have 82, including the guy last week or this week,
00:12:59.520 Afghan guy on the terror watch list and crossing in California. Last year, we had 98. When President
00:13:05.640 Trump was in office in 2020, there were only three from the terror watch list. Now, just think about
00:13:12.500 how many are in the country already. It's absolutely disgusting. And this is you're right. We have to be
00:13:18.540 way more aggressive. And I'm sick and tired of it, too, because I talk to the families. But you know what
00:13:22.920 else where we failed America, Lou? We don't even talk about this poisoning with our kids. The kids
00:13:29.400 aren't listening to podcasts, mainstream media, cable news. They're on the video reels on social
00:13:34.180 media. But we don't even have social media influences, athletes and celebrities going into
00:13:39.380 those sites and teaching these kids that they're going to die if they take a pill that they think is
00:13:44.000 Xanax or Percocet. So we have failed miserably on the education front and demand is way too high.
00:13:50.160 Mental illness, anxiety, depression is off the charts. Kids are going to get medicated
00:13:55.140 with medication and they're taking deadly drugs. And that's the problem.
00:14:01.120 Yeah, I'm going to agree with you. That's a big problem, a critical problem, an urgent problem.
00:14:06.640 But we've got so many big, urgent, critical problems facing this country right now, Derek,
00:14:11.820 as you note, as you know well, and as you are alerting the nation. I want to take up 85,000 kids
00:14:21.100 missing from U.S. government custody. No one seems to know where they are. The suspicion is that they've
00:14:29.300 been handed over to sex trafficking. We're going to continue our conversation with Derek Maltz.
00:14:35.740 Stay with us. We'll be right back.
00:14:41.700 This is a warning, my fellow Americans. The news just broke and it's grim.
00:14:46.500 The banking collapse of 2023 is now more devastating than the banking collapse of 2008.
00:14:54.120 First Republic, PacWest, Silicon Bank, just a few of the latest casualties in this banking crisis.
00:14:59.680 And don't wait for the email reading, quote, sorry, your account has been frozen, end quote.

00:16:02.040 We're back now talking with Derek Maltz, former DEA. 85,000 kids we hear from a HHS official two weeks ago.
00:16:13.000 No one really responds. 85,000 kids, minors, in the hands of sex traffickers who have been
00:16:20.940 in the custody of U.S. authorities. This is outrageous. And I am going to use the expression
00:16:28.640 again. I'm sick and tired of everyone understanding what the tragedy is, the pain, the suffering,
00:16:36.420 the misery, and the death that is the result of this administration. Biden is a killer. He's aligned.
00:16:44.400 We talked about the Chinese. This administration is aligned with that weak Mexican government that
00:16:50.700 you talked about. Lopez Obrador is an absolute tool of these cartels. The cartels run that border
00:16:59.280 in Mexico. And guess what? With Biden in office, we now know that they have operational control of
00:17:07.140 our border because Biden has handed it over to them. Am I right or wrong? No, you're 100 percent
00:17:13.940 right. I mean, in a way, if you look at conspiracy laws and facilitation, the definition, our government
00:17:21.060 has facilitated the largest sex trafficking and human smuggling operation in the history of America.
00:17:28.040 That's really the facts. I don't think anyone could dispute that. I mean, Bill Malusian put out a statistic
00:17:32.960 this past week. Like last week, there were like 83,000 apprehensions in a week, which could fill
00:17:39.620 up the entire Dallas Cowboys football stadium just in one week. We had three days, 10,000 each day
00:17:46.520 apprehensions. This is stuff we've never seen. What's happening, though, in a very simple way
00:17:52.220 is the cartels are master entrepreneur business people as well. They are studying our weaknesses and
00:17:59.560 taking total advantage of the vulnerabilities so they understand how we operate. They're flooding
00:18:05.420 the zone, as we call it. They're putting mass amounts of migrants into a certain zone, consuming
00:18:11.780 the resources of Border Patrol and then just sending all their high value targets into America.
00:18:18.160 Every American should be very concerned about what's in our country now because of this wide open border
00:18:25.600 and the lack of accountability. And you're right. When it comes to those children, when Donald Trump
00:18:31.560 was in office, I don't remember all the details, but they were so like, you know, crazy about all
00:18:37.840 these kids being split up from their families and everything. And now you don't even hear about
00:18:42.480 it on the news as 85,000 kids are somewhere in America. Probably most of them are probably being
00:18:48.620 trafficked. Right. That's what's happening. These stash houses. When I went to the border,
00:18:52.820 Lou, one of the things I couldn't believe when I got briefed by DPS and the, uh, and the brave men
00:18:59.480 and women at the CBP, what I learned, my head is still, I'm still like pissed off. These stash houses
00:19:06.580 where they pile in, you know, hundreds of migrants with no air conditioning because they're not paying
00:19:11.540 enough money. They don't have water. Then they pile them in tractor trailers and they burn to death
00:19:16.420 inside their bodies because the temperature is over a hundred degrees in these tractor trailers and the
00:19:22.160 cartels. They don't give it, they don't care. They're just making so much money. And then the
00:19:26.660 fact that our government doesn't speak out about this and doesn't get upset. This is an American
00:19:31.900 issue. It's not a Republican or Democrat. We don't want to see these people dying in our custody and
00:19:37.680 or in the custody of the cartels. So it's really, really just a total lack of law and order and
00:19:43.720 accountability. Like Tom Holman said it perfectly. And I steal his line because he knows the border
00:19:49.480 better than most people that I know in this country. And he said, you know, for the first
00:19:54.340 time now, it's actually legal to be illegally in America. Think about that. Such mixed messages to
00:20:01.720 our kids and to our communities. It's disgusting. It is disgusting, but you know what? This country
00:20:08.380 was disgusting enough to elect Joe Biden or select him. If you prefer, I think he's an illegitimate
00:20:14.740 president because I know what happened and the American people have the facts in front of them.
00:20:18.980 Right now. I mean, we can go through the list of what happened in that election. And it was a
00:20:25.680 vast left-wing conspiracy to deny Donald Trump his reelection. But leaving that aside,
00:20:33.620 I am more appalled by the rancid corruption of the FBI and the DOJ, which was validated once again in
00:20:42.620 the Durham report the other day. This is a corrupt federal government, corrupt federal agencies. I'm
00:20:50.400 talking about the FBI. I'm talking about the intel community itself. These are scurrilous,
00:20:59.780 low as snake belly, lowlifes running these organizations that should be focused on
00:21:07.000 the national interest and national security. But you and I can talk straight here, Derek.
00:21:12.880 The American people don't have a government that's working for them. They've got a federal government
00:21:17.700 that is targeting them, our middle class, working men and women, their family. These are Marxist,
00:21:24.360 globalist elites who are trying to destroy this country. Otherwise, there is no excuse for the
00:21:31.060 federal government not going after those drug cartels and telling China to get the hell out of
00:21:36.520 our country with deadly drugs of any kind and end this nonsense with Mexico. You know, this country
00:21:43.200 doesn't have a good record going after third world countries. Mexico is an emerging country. But I have
00:21:50.600 to tell you, I don't want to just put it on Mexico because this belongs on China as well. And either this
00:21:57.040 country has leaders with the guts to say the hell with anyone, I don't care whether they are an emerging
00:22:02.680 superpower like China or an emerging country like Mexico. We are the American people are tired of being
00:22:09.920 screwed with by their media, by their government, by our our enemies abroad. When is this crap going to end? When
00:22:18.180 will there be a sense of reality? Well, that's a great question. I mean, look, I refer to this as like
00:22:26.080 seagull leadership. So Joe Biden, the border czar and some of these clowns that they have running
00:22:32.880 these agencies have done the seagull. They poop and they fly away. So the next president, Republican
00:22:40.580 or Democrat, has to clean up this mess. And this mess is something we've never seen before, because
00:22:46.680 internally now these people are in our country and God forbid, we don't know what they're planning.
00:22:51.420 But, you know, like over the weekend, eight more dead in Portland, Oregon. We had 18 dead not too
00:22:57.980 long ago in Milwaukee. We had 40 that were poisoned in Onondaga County, upstate New York real just a
00:23:05.240 while ago. Every day I track the mass poisons in this country, Lou, and just that alone pisses me off
00:23:11.740 that we're not talking about this. We're not. Why hasn't the president declared a public health,
00:23:17.320 national security emergency, and had a summit at the White House and got the most famous
00:23:23.040 celebrities, athletes, social media influences? You know, Lou, one thing that pisses me off right
00:23:27.940 now is that the Democrats are smart enough to bring in social media influences to the White House
00:23:33.780 to push out their nasty lies about their campaign and all the victories they've had.
00:23:42.720 But why are they not using those social media influences to talk to the kids, tell the kids to
00:23:47.820 stay away from these fake pills and only get pills if it's prescribed by your doctor and comes from
00:23:52.800 CVS or Walgreens or reputable pharmacy? The problem is, is there's no excuse for that. And I've called
00:23:58.680 them out in Congress and I still haven't had anybody tell me we're moving down in that direction
00:24:04.180 and having this done. So how do you explain that, Lou? You've been around and you know this stuff
00:24:09.120 better than I do. How do you explain that they're not even willing to talk about the deadly poison
00:24:14.100 coming in and use these social media influences to do it? Makes no sense to me.
00:24:19.960 Well, I think I can make some sense out of it. One is Barack Obama was talking about his third term
00:24:26.520 of office while he was president. Joe Biden is nothing more than a compromised, impaired puppet president.
00:24:34.860 And I believe that he is quite clearly taking his orders from a cabal of Marxist Dems. And I believe
00:24:42.060 that cabal is led by its chieftain, that is Barack Obama. That's my view. I can find no other explanation.
00:24:50.800 When I look at what is going on about all of the discussion about the corruption of the Biden family,
00:24:57.340 I buy, excuse me, I buy most of it. But the part I don't buy is the big guy. I really think that the
00:25:03.760 big guy in the Biden crime family is Barack Obama. He is the guy who was in charge of our government
00:25:10.300 when the intel chiefs took after Donald Trump before he was even elected. He is the same guy who allowed
00:25:19.940 his intel chiefs to sign a letter and 51 veterans of the intel community lying through their teeth about
00:25:28.460 Russian disinformation. So let me tell you, we have a government that is conspiring against us.
00:25:34.160 We have a party, the Democrat Party, that is the Marxist Dem Party. They mean to destroy the American
00:25:40.840 family, the American way of life, and our middle class, as well as everything about this republic,
00:25:48.000 whether it's our... Then they tell everybody what they're going to do. They're going to pack the
00:25:51.460 Supreme Court. They're straightforward about it. They mean to destroy this great constitutional
00:25:59.280 republic. Do you think I could be possibly correct in that view? Well, I can tell you for a fact,
00:26:06.340 because I was there running the Special Operations Division. When it comes to the synthetic drug bombing
00:26:10.900 campaign by China, Barack Obama was the president. Joe Biden was the vice president. Eric Holder was
00:26:17.240 the attorney general, and that started right around 2008, 2009 with K2 spice, bath salts,
00:26:23.060 and then fentanyl. And by the way, Lou, what it is now is they're selling the tranquilizer for animals
00:26:29.860 called Trank, xylazine, and they're pushing that from the Chinese websites into our country.
00:26:35.440 They're making more powerful synthetic opioids like edinitazine, isonitazine, nitazine,
00:26:41.480 which are new psychoactive substances that are now getting mixed into these fake pills and killing
00:26:47.800 kids all over the country. And you know where that's coming from? China. So it's another phase
00:26:52.720 in the unrestricted warfare to destroy America, destabilize America. And that all started under
00:26:59.520 President Obama. And we briefed the Department of Justice on this, what we call perfect storm.
00:27:05.920 And we had an operation called Deadly Merchant to address this. And now look where we're at now.
00:27:10.380 Well, I think we've witnessed President Obama let his vice president sell the vice president's
00:27:17.860 office and influence while in his second term. Hillary Clinton as well, never an investigation
00:27:26.300 of the Clinton Foundation. Do you think this federal government is just as crooked as it can be,
00:27:33.760 folks? Because I sure do. We're going to continue here with Derek Maltz. And what in the world
00:27:40.040 are we doing with China, with Mexico, and all that has aligned against this country, including the
00:27:46.900 Biden regime itself? We continue with The Great America Show right after these words. Stay with us.
00:27:58.920 We're back with Derek Maltz. And Derek, it's great to have you with us. And I want to turn to
00:28:04.100 the issue that really is at hand when we talk about the border. There's an open border. There's a
00:28:10.140 nasty crisis and fentanyl and every other deadly drug. We have a crisis in every direction we turn.
00:28:17.820 There is not a single policy directive. There is not a single policy initiative on the part of this
00:28:25.640 administration that is aimed at protecting the republic, the American people, and preserving our
00:28:31.920 way of life. I can't find one. So what are we doing with all of these agencies? The FBI is worthless.
00:28:38.800 It's nothing but a political arm of the Marxist party. The Department of Justice isn't interested
00:28:46.500 in justice. It's interested in suppression. Where do we go from here? Well, that's a great question.
00:28:52.980 We have to unify the best and brightest patriots in one task force setting to be able to go after
00:28:58.980 these threats, which are getting more and more sophisticated, more complex. And we have a lot
00:29:03.860 of obstacles like technology right now is a big problem. Like if you look at the Chinese money
00:29:09.320 laundering systems that they've implemented for the cartels, we can't even really infiltrate them
00:29:15.260 because they're using Chinese banking apps. They're using WeChat, which is not a U.S. company.
00:29:20.940 And they're moving money like we've never seen in the history of this country. And they have Chinese
00:29:25.800 students here in America on visas that are picking up suitcases of cash from the Mexican
00:29:31.100 cartels. And then they're buying land. The Chinese businessmen are buying land, property, farms and real
00:29:38.140 estate and investments in our country. But the thing is, is that the only hope we have is that we stay
00:29:44.040 united. Law enforcement can only do a certain amount. If you don't have prosecutions and extraditions
00:29:50.140 and significant incarcerations, then you're not going to really deter the bad guys. So good example
00:29:57.020 is what's going on now, Lou, in El Salvador with the new president. Apparently, I'm no expert on this,
00:30:02.480 but in reading the news reports, he's built this supermax security prison and he's putting all those
00:30:07.900 MS-13 savages in that prison. And crime is down to an all time low in the history of El Salvador,
00:30:15.340 I understand. And it's actually becoming more and more safe. But in our country, we do the opposite.
00:30:21.340 We get these people and then we let them out the same day because of the bail reform and the
00:30:26.720 progressive policies in these democratic cities around the country. I mean, just look at Chicago
00:30:31.980 and New York and San Francisco, as an example, or Portland, Oregon or wherever. And these criminals
00:30:37.980 just, they have no fear. They just go out, cause massive chaos. So if we don't stop that and hold
00:30:44.600 people accountable, we're never going to put this back, this genie back in the bottle. Right now,
00:30:50.140 it's like we've never seen. I mean, they're breaking down glasses of shopping centers and going in and
00:30:56.500 stealing everything, not getting prosecuted. Even in the federal side, one of the biggest complaints
00:31:03.020 for the families is that when these people are selling poison to their kids and killing them,
00:31:08.640 they want to see murder charges. So we do have like some federal prosecutors, like in California,
00:31:14.000 they just announced like 13 new indictments on these poisoning of the kids. But around the country,
00:31:21.520 most of the prosecutors, they run away from it. And there's no accountability on the Department of
00:31:26.360 Justice System to prosecute. Look what happened, Lou, with the nine years of the bombing of
00:31:33.080 corporate America's opioid pills. 100 billion opioids were pushed into America in a nine-year
00:31:40.580 period, thanks to the Washington Post investigative story. And Big Pharma was never held accountable.
00:31:46.300 They got fined here and there and stuff like that. But they just got so many Americans addicted to
00:31:51.780 these opioids with no accountability. That's because the money that all of these law firms were making
00:31:57.600 and all of these government people and somehow had their hand in the pot. It's it's corruption to the
00:32:03.540 max. And that's now continuing at levels. Like when I read some of the Durham report yesterday,
00:32:08.540 I was absolutely disgusted because I've worked with some great American patriots from the FBI when they
00:32:15.380 sign on to the FBI, FBI's fidelity, bravery and integrity. These people believe that when they
00:32:21.500 sign on, they look forward to a career in integrity and leadership, but they weren't getting it over
00:32:27.420 the period of time when they're going after Trump and working with the Clinton campaign to destroy
00:32:33.020 Trump. And the destruction is still going on with the former president, what they're doing to him and
00:32:39.200 his family. And then you look at why isn't Hunter been indicted yet? I can't answer that. But I've been
00:32:44.940 an investigator my whole life. My father was an investigator for 30 years. I have it in my DNA.
00:32:49.860 You could see that one a mile away. The the influence peddling and and all of the corruption.
00:32:55.740 But he's not been indicted. How do you explain that? I explain it with just that word you just
00:33:01.000 used. I mean, these these people are so corrupt. They own the system. The FBI is on lock, stock and
00:33:07.860 barrel by the Marxist Dems. And there are some good people and a few of them have stood up and now are
00:33:15.040 whistleblowers. But now whistleblowers and informants are disappearing, bringing information
00:33:21.840 to the House investigation committees. We're dealing with full on racketeering on the part of the Biden
00:33:28.340 regime. He may be the big guy, Joe Biden. I think it is Barack Obama. That's my best bet. And with his
00:33:37.040 godfather, George Soros, on his shoulder, this is this is a time for people to be straight.
00:33:44.080 I'm not going to talk about what a great organization the FBI was, because now it's on TV,
00:33:49.680 what, four times a week there. I don't know how much they pay for those those programs to talk about
00:33:55.580 what great people they are. But I'll tell you this is pure nonsense. The leadership of the FBI is
00:34:01.320 amongst the most rancid in this country. The CIA is the same. The intelligence community. Look at
00:34:08.240 this Congress, the radical Dems. They they put out information from those investigative committees
00:34:14.120 in the House of Representatives. They leak it to the newspapers before they can even get the
00:34:19.920 the papers collated in those committees. I mean, it's outrageous what we're looking at.
00:34:25.140 This is a fight. And the American people, all I just want people to understand here,
00:34:30.460 I'm begging you, believe, believe what you see. And what you have to be seeing is what the rest of
00:34:37.860 us are. You hear Derek talking about fentanyl and the people dying from overdose and and their lives
00:34:43.680 being destroyed by addiction. And what's happening? We've got with what I have any Derek, how many
00:34:50.940 people do you think we've got in federal law enforcement? We have the DEA. We have the ATF.
00:34:55.480 We've got the Border Patrol. We've got intelligence agencies, the DIA, the CIA. Yeah, I mean, what?
00:35:02.020 They're now 18 of them, most of them in the Department of Defense. What in the hell do they do all day?
00:35:09.060 Well, they're not they're not they're not they're not getting a job done anywhere. Not anywhere.
00:35:15.980 Well, one thing I could tell you, because I work very closely with, you know, like ATF, DEA,
00:35:21.760 Homeland Security Investigations and just from and CBP and Border Patrol. Like if you look at I just
00:35:27.460 got to bring up something because I failed to say it earlier, which is very interesting to me.
00:35:31.820 When Donald Trump was in the office, the first six months of 2020, there were 236 apprehensions,
00:35:38.940 236,000 apprehensions. This first six months, we've had one point two million.
00:35:43.660 When he was in office the first six months, there was a total of thirteen hundred and twenty
00:35:49.480 six pounds of fentanyl seized. Now we have thirteen point nine thousand pounds of fentanyl
00:35:54.800 seized. So that kind of tells a story like the production's off the charts.
00:35:59.520 The demand is off the charts. The board is creating this unbelievable opportunity.
00:36:04.500 But I do know, like, for example, the DEA last year working with their partner sees fifty seven
00:36:09.120 million fake pills. That's a lot of pills considering six out of ten of those
00:36:13.540 pills could potentially kill a person in America. So law enforcement is saving a lot
00:36:19.520 of lives by seizing the poison. But this poison shouldn't even be getting here.
00:36:23.840 We should be destroying those labs, aggressively pursuing the cartels and decimating them.
00:36:30.900 They are the biggest threat this country has faced. Even my orc has said at the end of March to the Senate
00:36:36.120 panel that the deaths from fentanyl is the single biggest challenge we have in America.
00:36:41.180 But yet the border is just like still wide open, consuming our resources and this poison's
00:36:47.660 getting in here and record levels. And we're still not dealing with it.
00:36:52.320 And that's that's really, really disappointing. The law enforcement people, in my opinion,
00:36:57.480 are doing a pretty good job at saving lives, but they can't do it without the support of the
00:37:02.320 White House and the other agencies that are responsible for doing things internationally,
00:37:07.680 for an example. So it's dysfunctional, Lou, if you want me to be honest. It's dysfunctional.
00:37:14.220 It's there's no leadership. A leader is supposed to eliminate confusion, not create it. I mean,
00:37:19.980 our leader is the migrant president. Even AMLO calls him the migrant president. So everyone knows
00:37:25.840 this is about getting these people in this country, give them driver's licenses, give them benefits,
00:37:31.340 give them voters, you know, voter opportunities so the Republicans can never win again with this,
00:37:38.200 with the way it's going. And if you add in mail-in ballots and anonymous voters, it's not fair.
00:37:44.240 Even the elections, right? It's not fair. It's not going to get any better unless we take a more
00:37:48.940 aggressive stance. Let me be clear, Derek. I'm saying this to you and to the audience. Let me be clear.
00:37:57.000 This country has the most corrupt government in the hemisphere. I don't care who talks about Mexico's
00:38:04.300 corruption. I don't care about El Salvador. Venezuela? The United States government is the
00:38:11.240 most corrupt in the hemisphere because they are so successfully pretending to be something else.
00:38:16.940 The results are absolutely disastrous, destructive, and will mean the death of this republic unless we
00:38:25.180 do something about it. By the way, the drug deaths, no reason for any administration to worry about it.
00:38:32.080 It's just the cost of doing business. And that's what this is. It's the drug business. It's the cartel
00:38:37.560 business. And they are running. I mean, look, I mean, no one has to. Let me ask you this as we wrap up,
00:38:44.520 Derek. You're an investigator for years. If you're sitting there watching this White House not do anything
00:38:52.460 about an open border, the result of which are deaths, devastation, destruction. Don't you?
00:38:59.680 Does it the first thing that has to come to your mind? Isn't it corruption?
00:39:04.920 100%. And let me just add this, Lou, because you brought it up. When I used to go on the news all the
00:39:09.740 time and talk about the corrupt leaders in Mexico, Central America, after a while, I kind of toned that
00:39:15.100 down. You know why? Because I felt like a hypocrite. Who am I to criticize the president of Honduras
00:39:20.560 or the president of Venezuela or Mexico when we have that going on in this country? There's no
00:39:26.420 chance we'd be in this situation if it wasn't, you know, corruption all over the place. I mean,
00:39:31.100 it's very obvious. You don't have to be an investigator to see it, but we have to have law
00:39:36.560 and order. And right now there is no law and order. That's the problem. There's no accountability,
00:39:41.840 no law and order. So the country is going to, you know, ultimately on this path, it's going to go
00:39:47.060 through a tunnel and off the cliff. And that's where we're headed off a cliff. If we don't get
00:39:52.380 this thing turned around. Everybody remember where you heard it first, right here on the Great America
00:39:57.760 Show. I said that the United States is the most corrupt government in this hemisphere, the most
00:40:06.260 corrupt. And I mean, every single word that I'm saying, Derek, I appreciate you being with us,
00:40:13.240 Derek Maltz. We, we respect you so much and for all you do and keep the case in front of the American
00:40:19.680 people. We have to do that. Thanks my friend for being with us. Thank you very much and have a great
00:40:25.480 week. Derek Maltz, a great American. Thanks everybody for being with us here tomorrow. Our guest will be
00:40:31.400 my good friend and former colleague, Monica Crowley, host of the Monica Crowley podcast. Please join us
00:40:37.720 here tomorrow on the Great America Show. Till then, thanks, God bless you, and God bless America.
