Transcript

00:00:00.000 Hello, everybody. I'm Lou Dobbs. Welcome to the Great America Show.
00:00:04.220 The midterm election's now 24 days away, and already the specter of elections past is forming in blue Colorado.
00:00:14.440 The Democrat Secretary of State there, are you ready?
00:00:18.100 Sent out postcards encouraging people to vote, including, perhaps especially, 30,000 illegal aliens who can't vote.
00:00:27.280 Or perhaps, I should say, aren't allowed to vote.
00:00:30.680 Or better, they aren't legally supposed to vote, but who knows what will happen in Colorado.
00:00:36.340 The problem came up when the Secretary of State, Jenna Griswold, said the mistake occurred
00:00:42.360 after her staff compared a database of residents who had been issued driver's licenses
00:00:48.540 to a list of names from the controversial Electronic Registration Information Center called ERIC,
00:00:55.820 accused by some critics of being funded and run by left-wing activists.
00:01:01.640 Colorado news reports say the incident is now under investigation, but didn't mention by whom.
00:01:08.800 And so it goes.
00:01:10.660 And a surprise decision by the U.S. Supreme Court gives me hope
00:01:14.740 that this election just might be different than 2020, even fair.
00:01:20.240 The high court overturned the Pennsylvania-based 3rd U.S. Circuit Court, the appellate court,
00:01:28.020 the Supreme Court ruling that ballots with any flaw at all, no matter how minor,
00:01:35.000 cannot be counted in elections.
00:01:38.180 Hallelujah!
00:01:39.840 And the Russians, of course, are keeping up their missile barrage against Ukraine.
00:01:44.960 These strikes called the worst since Russia invaded Ukraine.
00:01:48.260 And now NATO and the U.S. are rushing missile defense systems to Ukraine.
00:01:54.200 That war, now almost eight months long.
00:01:57.880 To take up all of this, we have with us a great American, a terrific journalist,
00:02:02.060 a foreign correspondent for much of his career,
00:02:05.200 and best-selling author of the outstanding books,
00:02:07.800 The Plot to Overthrow the President and the Permanent Coup.
00:02:11.640 Lee Smith, great to have you back with us here on The Great America Show.
00:02:15.260 With all that's going on, let me begin with a missile barrage that Putin has now unleashed
00:02:20.780 against the Ukrainians.
00:02:22.820 Your reaction?
00:02:25.140 Yeah, I mean, my reaction is I do think that this conflict probably could have been avoided.
00:02:31.980 I think that I think we're pretty far in now, and it's getting more and more dangerous.
00:02:38.200 It's getting more and more dangerous every day, both for Russia and Ukraine,
00:02:43.200 that region, and for the United States.
00:02:46.940 It's extremely worrisome, especially given the administration now at the helm of the world's greatest superpower.
00:02:57.040 It is deeply frightening, and I can't help but one metaphor comes to mind,
00:03:05.180 and that's the little brother on the playground who starts picking fights so that his big brother can bail him out.
00:03:12.940 That looks to me like what Zelensky's doing, running his mouth off,
00:03:16.520 talking about the weather's fine in Ukraine, but a little cloudy over Crimea when they hit the bridge.
00:03:23.780 You know, and then the next day, I mean, what did he think he was doing, acting like a punk?
00:03:33.060 It's ridiculous what we're watching here, the billions that are being thrown into Ukraine.
00:03:38.840 He is being as irresponsible as his military is being dogged, determined, and effective.
00:03:44.620 A friend of mine, I wish I could claim credit for this observation, but a friend of mine and a colleague said,
00:03:52.700 up until now, this conflict has felt a lot like the war going on in the background of 1984, right?
00:04:01.380 Because we don't have much insight.
00:04:03.320 First of all, naturally, we have Ukrainian and Russian propaganda, but these are two parties at war.
00:04:07.980 But the fact that the United States, that we have so little insight into this,
00:04:12.060 I mean, there are always American war correspondents who are going and reporting from somewhere
00:04:17.740 and filling us in on what's happening here.
00:04:19.920 This was so distant, we had no idea what's going on.
00:04:23.160 So I think that's one of the things right now that's augmenting the sense of surprise
00:04:30.400 and the recognition that this is a very dangerous situation, right?
00:04:34.360 We hear different things like 5,000 dead Ukrainian troops, 4,000 dead Russians.
00:04:39.380 We really have no insight into this.
00:04:42.120 But now, with missile barrages and with the blowing up bridge, it's quite clear that this
00:04:49.040 is a very serious conflict.
00:04:52.400 A very serious conflict.
00:04:53.940 And you raise a very important point.
00:04:58.180 Corporate news is just that.
00:05:00.800 Propaganda emanating from ABC News, you name whichever outlet.
00:05:04.360 CNN, they're running a corporate budget.
00:05:08.300 They're not going to be covering it with embeds and in-the-field correspondence because that's
00:05:13.140 very expensive stuff.
00:05:14.820 It's a lot better to hold forth on left-wing, woke talking points using your anchors at each
00:05:22.720 of the anchor desks at all of those corporate outlets.
00:05:28.020 It is, I can't think of another time in which we've had less coverage on any conflict than
00:05:36.260 we have on Ukraine.
00:05:37.800 The best reporting that we've heard here on the Great America Show, coming from Robichaux,
00:05:45.240 Chris Robichaux, who is an outstanding veteran, just an outstanding observer going in and rescuing
00:05:54.960 people there in Ukraine.
00:05:56.680 His reporting and his insight into the Ukrainian people and their determination in the Ukrainian
00:06:03.960 military proved to be the only exact and accurate statements that we heard in the early months
00:06:12.220 of this conflict.
00:06:13.060 It's remarkable.
00:06:15.160 Lou, I just want to underscore what you said, because what you said is so important and it
00:06:20.120 explains so much of what we've seen over the last several decades.
00:06:24.500 I mean, this is how I understood Russiagate, right?
00:06:27.780 No one who was reporting on this nonsense about Donald Trump being a Russian spy or whatever,
00:06:34.040 none of these people knew anything about Moscow, right?
00:06:36.580 None of these people knew anything about Russian foreign policy.
00:06:39.960 They didn't even know anything about New York City.
00:06:42.020 They were all on the national security beat in Washington, D.C., who were taking leaks
00:06:47.560 from past and present security officials.
00:06:52.060 So what we're seeing now is, as you say, a corporate media that is not only financially
00:06:59.680 bankrupt but is morally bankrupt, right?
00:07:02.660 So that's why we have no insight into this at all.
00:07:06.560 And this is one of the problems, again, we've seen for the last 20 years, because the news
00:07:10.780 media is driven by – it's driven strictly by leaks meant to shape political outcomes.
00:07:19.440 And that's what we're seeing here.
00:07:21.080 The American public has very little ability to see or understand what's going on.
00:07:26.940 I mean, we remember – even the publications that I think you and I agree are often contemptible,
00:07:33.360 like the New York Times.
00:07:34.980 The New York Times even – I mean, they had people like John Burns who were there,
00:07:37.840 and we can disagree with a lot of their conclusions.
00:07:40.380 But I mean, they had people on the ground who were saying, this happened here, this happened there.
00:07:44.720 They were speaking with – you know, they were speaking with officers.
00:07:48.020 They were speaking with troops.
00:07:49.760 Right now, again, nothing.
00:07:52.420 And that's because of the nature of the media, how it's transformed itself over the last – since
00:07:58.760 Iraq, actually.
00:07:59.860 That's what's happened.
00:08:01.800 And now this missile barrage, we're told by these media outlets, will be simply the first
00:08:10.380 episode of Putin's so-called revenge, it seems that we have now a different shape and sense
00:08:22.520 of the conflict in Ukraine.
00:08:25.580 And the terrible thing about that is we have a president who is not fit to lead in peacetime,
00:08:31.260 let alone wartime.
00:08:33.020 Right.
00:08:33.340 And now the different decisions that are – I mean, clearly, this should be – we have
00:08:38.320 an election coming up in less than a month.
00:08:40.160 Clearly, his leadership during the – through this conflict should certainly be – that
00:08:49.980 should certainly be part of the referendum.
00:08:52.780 That should certainly be part of the referendum as we're coming into this in less than a month.
00:08:56.580 But again, because we have so little insight into this, so little reporting, I mean, we may
00:09:01.940 be heading into real trouble because of the Biden administration.
00:09:06.400 And Americans, again, have no – have insufficient information to be able to make judgments to,
00:09:14.560 you know, to – on behalf of the futures and fate of themselves, their families, and their
00:09:21.800 communities.
00:09:22.560 It's shocking.
00:09:24.520 Yeah.
00:09:25.220 And I can't help but bring up the wag the dog proposition that is in the background.
00:09:31.380 And people don't want to talk about it, but it has – it's at the very least subtext
00:09:35.500 if it isn't actually defining in this moment.
00:09:39.300 And that is, this looks like it's being engineered in some ways by the corporate media as a distraction
00:09:45.440 from everything going into this election.
00:09:47.580 And I frankly don't take any of them at face value nor trust at all their reporting on this
00:09:57.460 because of the stakes that are so large in this – what is now likely to be a wave election
00:10:02.900 for the Republicans for what has been a dismal almost two years for the Biden administration
00:10:09.540 and the Marxist-Demm Party?
00:10:12.820 I'm optimistic.
00:10:14.680 I mean, you know, we recognize that they've been lying through polling.
00:10:20.040 You know, they can censor as much information as they want.
00:10:23.300 That's actually, by the way, how I understand their fury at Saudi Arabia for not pumping more oil, right?
00:10:32.220 They basically wanted – they want OPEC to censor or to block the effects of Biden's disastrous climate change agenda, right?
00:10:41.280 But people are starting – people understand what's happening.
00:10:45.000 People are understanding what's seeing.
00:10:46.820 And so I am very optimistic about what's – about going into next month's elections.
00:10:53.100 What continues to concern me, and I believe that we spoke about this last time, is that, you know, I mean, they still –
00:11:00.040 these are vicious anti-democratic – this is a vicious anti-democratic faction.
00:11:08.060 And I'm concerned about what they're going to do heading into the election.
00:11:10.980 And my number one concern is that they're still going to try to charge Donald Trump in order to destabilize America.
00:11:19.140 So my optimism is mixed with concern here.
00:11:23.480 Yeah.
00:11:23.760 And I think many, if not most of us, share your concern.
00:11:28.480 Concerned because we know that the Marxist-Demm's have already demonstrated that they're in control of the Democrat Party.
00:11:35.220 They're in control of this president.
00:11:37.120 They're in control of the deep state.
00:11:38.760 There is no such thing as a permanent bureaucracy.
00:11:41.780 It is the deep state now, managed by the left.
00:11:46.700 And the Marxists are winning, and winning big.
00:11:50.220 They're in control of every aspect of government, save the Supreme Court.
00:11:54.300 And with John Roberts there, that is a tenuous statement at best, I guess.
00:11:59.400 So we have much to be worried about and very little, frankly, to cheer when we think about going forward into this election, being assured of electoral integrity.
00:12:13.920 I have no doubt that Americans are no fools.
00:12:16.860 They understand they've got to get rid of these monsters that they put in the White House, that they put in charge of both houses of government, and the permanent bureaucracy, the deep state.
00:12:29.900 And the only tool at hand is that vote.
00:12:33.740 It is, it preys on my mind, and I pray for an honest outcome.
00:12:42.200 But I also know the odds right now are difficult.
00:12:45.580 It's terrible, isn't it?
00:12:47.540 I mean, you're describing something that I think, outside of our founding fathers who had fought and defeated a tyranny, I think that most Americans since that founding generation would have the idea that there were things to fear going in, not things to fear.
00:13:08.080 I mean, certainly it's a shift in power, but the idea that corruption would play such a large role in an upcoming election, I mean, it's a shocking thing.
00:13:20.140 And look, you were saying that, you know, you're concerned about lots of things.
00:13:26.180 I mean, I think our greatest resource has always been and will continue to be the American people.
00:13:32.780 And so, yeah, I'm concerned going to the elections.
00:13:35.180 I'm concerned everywhere I look now, whether it's on the, you know, whether it's abroad in Eastern Europe, whether it's China, who appears to be making a larger and faster move on the United States, thanks again to its partners in the Biden White House.
00:13:51.400 So there's lots of reasons we're concerned.
00:13:53.460 But, I mean, our resiliency and strength is the American public, and they do see what's going on now.
00:14:02.060 And fundamental to that democracy, to this great republic, is not only a concerned citizenry, but an informed citizenry.
00:14:11.460 And the fourth estate in this country now is not informing the public.
00:14:15.900 We've touched on this, but I think we need to also point out, what is the latest reporting from the Middle East?
00:14:22.420 Why is it that Saudi Arabia chose to agree to a 2 million barrel a day reduction in OPEC production?
00:14:31.840 And how is that in alignment with Russia?
00:14:34.640 Even in the business press, there is very little discussion of that and its impact, nor little note as to why Joe Biden thinks he can get away with announcing he will take another 10 million barrels of oil out of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
00:14:50.780 And that only amounts to five days replacement within, that is, replacement of the shortage would be 2 million barrels a day, five days, 10 million barrels.
00:15:03.500 It's nothing.
00:15:05.020 And yet we also know that a good portion of that, as before, Biden is making certain that China gets some of that oil.
00:15:13.240 No one in the national media is even questioning these things.
00:15:16.660 Right.
00:15:18.920 When that oil, those 10 million barrels from the Strategic Reserve come online, I mean, we've heard them say it's going to happen in November.
00:15:26.940 So presumably it's going to be the first few days in November before the election.
00:15:31.380 How much effect that will actually have remains to be seen.
00:15:34.120 But, yeah, the other thing is you're talking about Saudi Arabia and Russia as well as Saudi Arabia and China.
00:15:41.820 The Biden administration, as Barack Obama before him, has done virtually everything in their power to drive Saudi Arabia toward China, toward Russia.
00:15:51.820 And, you know, and I speak with a lot of a lot of people still in the Middle East where I worked for a long time.
00:15:56.560 And the Saudis, I know, are extremely concerned.
00:15:59.460 They don't want to they they they they they want to be partnered with the United States, not with China.
00:16:06.000 I think one advantage, the one advantage that we have.
00:16:09.820 Well, first of all, the fact that we're led by an insane by by a faction of insane people.
00:16:14.720 Right.
00:16:15.320 Who, you know, who think upside down and at the core is a very sane and responsible citizenry.
00:16:24.500 So our foreign adversaries, as well as our allies, of course, understand this, what the strategic or what America's center of gravity is.
00:16:34.520 It's people. But if you look at how hard Biden and Obama before him have tried to weaken the United States abroad, as well as at home.
00:16:44.620 And that brings us back to what's happening, what's happening in Ukraine.
00:16:48.440 But it's not just there. It's also in Asia.
00:16:50.720 It's also in the Middle East where we see Biden wanting to restore the disastrous nuclear deal with Iran that Donald Trump, thankfully, withdrew from.
00:17:02.260 And it has been scuttled.
00:17:05.160 So goes the narrative right now that that a deal with Iran.
00:17:08.880 But we know better than that.
00:17:10.520 We know that they're if they've gone silent on the discussions, whatever they may be, that are still taking place under the table and away from the prying eyes of even the uncurious media.
00:17:23.420 We are at a we are now at an inflection point, in my opinion, Lee, in this country, where the American people will decide to prevail come hell or high water for the good of the nation against a party that is expressly evil and intent upon destroying every fundamental value and institution of this great republic.
00:17:45.960 There is no exception in what I said.
00:17:48.420 There is no. But of course, they are preserving this or that they are preserving only perversity.
00:17:56.460 They have turned national security into a a doormat for whatever the ambitions and digressions are that are fantasized by either Xi Jinping or Vladimir Putin or the Ayatollahs.
00:18:13.100 It is it is that straightforward, don't you think?
00:18:16.280 Oh, I think it's a totalitarian faction.
00:18:18.340 Absolutely. I mean, the idea that they they seek to infiltrate.
00:18:23.140 And, well, you know, when we say totalitarianism, we may have spoken about this before.
00:18:27.140 We're not just talking about using security services, banishing people, though they do do that.
00:18:34.780 Right. They're using they're using the intelligence services, U.S. intelligence services to censor people, to to attack them, to go after school parents, to go after protesters, to go after dissident journalists.
00:18:48.760 So they're certainly doing that. But the other part is that the the infiltration, the insinuation into every part of life, right, whether it's families, whether it's the the the bodily sovereignty, trying to impose, you know, trying to impose medical experimental medical treatments on people.
00:19:09.280 Whether it's promoting the transgenderism stuff and public schools and then putting these putting these poor, vulnerable kids basically on a conveyor belt all the way into, you know, into these horrible medications and surgeries, these irreversible procedures.
00:19:28.160 That's what I mean, that they want to find a way into every part of life, whether it's families, whether it's the individual, not just not just, you know, not just states and not just the country, not just foreign policy.
00:19:41.320 They need to control every part of life. And that's what makes them a totalitarian faction.
00:19:47.860 And universities, the national media, so-called, are aligned with the Marxist Dems, the deep state, the far left of this country.
00:20:02.640 There is there is they are trying to strangle decency and American values from our society and any who would uphold those values,
00:20:13.900 that decency and the interest of the of the of the of the United States.
00:20:19.440 They we are absolutely their foremost enemies and they do not mean us no harm.
00:20:29.840 Oh, yeah. Everything they every the way that I see it is like Obama.
00:20:34.600 Joe Biden doesn't really have a foreign policy. Right.
00:20:37.440 What he has is a domestic policy.
00:20:39.960 They have domestic enemies that they project abroad. Right.
00:20:43.420 So this is one of the reasons why, why, you know, why Biden has run reckless in Eastern Europe, because they.
00:20:50.920 They spent several years painting Vladimir Putin as the as the embodiment of all evil.
00:20:58.200 Look, I mean, I of Vladimir Putin is not a friend of America.
00:21:01.880 He's not a friend of freedom at all.
00:21:04.060 But the what the Democrats did by turning Putin right into the enemy of all things and basically forcing their hands in the situation.
00:21:14.480 That's what I mean by they're projecting, they're projecting their demo, their domestic politics abroad and dragging the United States into very dangerous, into very dangerous situations.
00:21:25.700 And and and whether by and by intention, whether through the stratagems of both Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin, for example, the United States is destabilized at this point.
00:21:39.340 This the polarization in our society, the alienation among those factions, some of which you've described, we are in a moment, a moment, I think, of the maximum foment of agitation within our society since the since the 1960s.
00:21:59.580 I truly believe that. And I also believe it's true of of Europe.
00:22:05.160 Europe is all but paralyzed. They can't make decisions about their economy.
00:22:10.480 They are struggling to deal with the concept that their their currencies are now under assault.
00:22:18.340 In some cases, the view is that the United States is responsible for much of what is happening to them.
00:22:24.800 But at the same time, they have contributed so little to the defense of Ukraine and to the defense of NATO and Europe itself.
00:22:33.880 Your thoughts? Well, no, I mean, and it's not just that.
00:22:37.480 Look at the way that they've turned against their own citizens.
00:22:39.380 Again, it's the same sort of climate change agenda.
00:22:42.240 But I every time you and I speak, I'm always afraid I'm coming off and sounding a little Pollyannish.
00:22:48.480 But I'm hopeful that what's going to happen this winter in Europe, the Europeans are in for a cold, hard winter.
00:22:56.640 And I'm very hopeful that the Europeans will stand up and say, this is this is ridiculous.
00:23:00.900 We have to hold these people accountable. We're we're we're freezing and we're going hungry.
00:23:05.520 And these are the people who made these different decisions and made these different choices.
00:23:08.840 So it's not just the Europeans will will refuse to to to defend the Ukrainians.
00:23:14.360 They are they are they perceive their own public right as assets to be harvested, which is, of course, the way the Biden administration and the Democratic Party sees Americans right now.
00:23:25.200 Right. We're a source of wealth to be harvested. We're not people.
00:23:28.760 We're not fellow Americans. We're just someone from whom they can take money, whether that's whether that's by, you know, by doing surgeries on little girls.
00:23:38.420 You know, sterilizing little girls, whether that's through the climate change agenda, by destroying the fossil fuel industry.
00:23:46.560 It's all about transferring wealth on behalf of the oligarchy. Right.
00:23:50.380 Taking middle class wealth, soaking it out.
00:23:53.900 Americans who work hard and putting in the hands of people who are, say, promoting the ESG agenda.
00:24:02.060 Right. It's absolutely nuts.
00:24:03.800 But, again, I do think that that that our fellow citizens are starting to see what's happening here.
00:24:12.480 They're starting to see what's going on.
00:24:14.940 I think I think you're right.
00:24:17.560 I couldn't agree with you more.
00:24:19.600 I want to add I know that you're concerned about being taken as a Pollyanna.
00:24:25.900 I don't think anyone carefully will will make that mistake.
00:24:31.380 Certainly they should not.
00:24:33.820 One of the things that is positive that's going on right now.
00:24:36.960 And I mentioned that at least for now, the Supreme Court is an island in our federal government and our in the U.S. government power structure.
00:24:47.420 The Mar-a-Lago case, Fox News is reporting, is now on the Supreme Court's shadow docket, which means that they are preparing to take on the case on procedural grounds for the raid on Mar-a-Lago.
00:25:03.680 The issues of executive privilege, attorney-client privilege, the issue of search and seizure.
00:25:12.460 And these are critical issues.
00:25:15.440 They are without question.
00:25:17.600 The president, the former president of the United States, has standing without any doubt.
00:25:21.520 But it is it is looking as though the Supreme Court is prepared to do its constitutional duty and take up these conflicts and these abuses on the part of the federal government.
00:25:35.900 Well, we went from I'm sorry to be a Pollyannish to now I'm going to now I'm going to brag.
00:25:41.100 I've been saying since at first, I thought the raid was about January 6th, trying to frame Donald Trump for January on January 6th things.
00:25:53.300 And I still think that may play a role.
00:25:55.260 But then I started to do a timeline and I said, no, wait a minute.
00:25:59.640 This is a response to Russiagate and the Russiagate documents.
00:26:04.740 And there was an article over the weekend by the New York Times reporters.
00:26:09.080 I mean, it was preposterous the way it was framed, right?
00:26:11.960 It's saying, oh, yeah, Trump was trying to hold on to documents to trade them for Russiagate documents.
00:26:17.600 But again, the way it was framed is as the New York Times and The Washington Post have been reporting things for the last several years.
00:26:24.140 It's nonsense.
00:26:25.320 But the essential kernel is that this is about this is about Russiagate.
00:26:30.640 And this is about the evidence that the deep state framed Donald Trump.
00:26:36.660 Evidence that the deep state has been going after Donald Trump as well as Donald Trump aides.
00:26:42.600 And now, as we see with January 6th, after Donald Trump supporters.
00:26:47.220 So I am thrilled that the Supreme Court is going to play its rightful part in this right now.
00:27:00.740 And I hope that we have more and more clarity.
00:27:02.600 And I still hope I'm still optimistic that we're going to see these documents at some point.
00:27:06.960 And the people responsible for undermining for undermining the Trump presidency, for interfering in the 2016, 2018 and 2020 elections will be held accountable for the criminal conspiracy.
00:27:21.440 They're a part of.
00:27:22.300 Well, from your lips to God's ears, we're all hoping for exactly that.
00:27:28.500 Lee Smith, we always give, as you know, our guest the last word.
00:27:33.780 And if you would, your concluding thoughts.
00:27:36.600 My conclusion, in the event, of course, I hope we do.
00:27:40.000 But in the event, we don't get to speak again before the election next month.
00:27:44.000 I just want to say I hope that everyone will go out there.
00:27:49.800 And it's not just doing your duty, but it's enjoying your right as an American.
00:27:54.880 And enjoying this great right where we get to choose our leaders, where we get to see what's happening, and we get to make a choice.
00:28:02.860 And we say, you know what?
00:28:03.420 That's not right.
00:28:04.180 That's not what I signed up for.
00:28:05.820 This guy said one thing.
00:28:06.960 Now it's about something else.
00:28:08.280 Or I don't like what's happening in the schools.
00:28:11.260 I don't like what they're saying and doing to my children.
00:28:14.000 I don't like what they're doing to American workers.
00:28:17.960 And it's just an enormous day.
00:28:20.820 And everyone on that day, Election Day, is equal.
00:28:24.740 It doesn't matter how much money you have or how broke you are or what.
00:28:29.760 We're all equal.
00:28:30.700 All of our votes matter.
00:28:32.060 And that is just such – I mean, it's like an American holiday.
00:28:36.800 As great as July 4th.
00:28:40.260 As great as Thanksgiving.
00:28:42.220 It's a wonderful celebration of what it means to be an American.
00:28:47.860 And so I hope, Lou, that all of your great audience enjoys that, enjoys that great right, this enormous privilege it is to be American.
00:28:55.940 And God bless America.
00:28:57.980 And please, let's push these lunatics out of office.
00:29:03.460 It's getting dangerous.
00:29:05.840 Amen, brother.
00:29:06.700 Thanks so much.
00:29:07.400 We appreciate it.
00:29:08.780 Lee Smith.
