Hello everybody, I'm Lou Dobbs. Welcome to the Great America Show. Great to have you with us as we all tirelessly fight for truth, justice, and the American way, and what a fight it is.
00:00:13.600
The Marxist Dems ordered up 10 RINO senators to bend their knees to President Biden's puppet masters and push through gun control legislation in the name of gun safety.
00:00:24.160
The Dems' lies go on and the RINOs always go along. Two of those lying, disloyal 10 senators are retiring. The others aren't up for election, siding with the Marxist Dems against their own constituents, the Constitution, the American way, and oh yes, the Republican Party.
00:00:43.480
These 10 cowards would take away Americans' constitutional rights and their guns.
00:00:50.540
Getting rid of RINOs is now almost as important to the Republican Party as defeating the Marxist Dems in the midterm elections. Almost.
00:01:00.180
Europe is a collection of weak socialist states that are, for the most part, supported by American trade and defended by American weapons and our troops.
00:01:09.880
Why, you ask, am I so irritated by the Euros this time?
00:01:15.460
Not only do American dollars have to support Ukraine's defense against the Russian occupiers,
00:01:21.120
and more than 100,000 of our troops are now in Europe to give the effete Euros support,
00:01:27.940
where their own leaders get the vapors and choose to appease Putin the invader rather than stand with Ukraine.
00:01:34.880
And now the European Parliament has the temerity to insult the United States
00:01:40.760
and pass a resolution condemning the U.S. Supreme Court, reminding Americans it's vital for the Supreme Court to uphold Roe v. Wade
00:01:52.880
and bemoaning American federalism that permits our states to determine their own laws on abortion.
00:02:00.340
And not a word from the Biden White House, of course, in part because the Marxist Dems are much closer ideologically to the Euro-Marxists
00:02:09.340
than, of course, to American independents and Republicans.
00:02:13.760
What a silly breed the European Pauls have become, their leaders have become,
00:02:19.520
which, of course, begs the question, one of our own leaders, there's not much to brag about on that account either.
00:02:24.420
But it does raise the question, where is that Supreme Court decision?
00:02:30.100
You know, the decision that was drafted back in February and leaked to the national media and reported in the first part of May,
00:02:37.960
overturning not only Roe v. Wade, but also Planned Parenthood v. Casey,
00:02:43.920
a decision that would send the issue to the states to make laws on abortion.
00:02:48.360
The radical left has tried to intimidate the justices demonstrating at their homes
00:02:53.860
and the White House condoning such acts, even though the law prohibits such intimidation.
00:02:59.440
And for that matter, Dem leaders have publicly threatened the court itself.
00:03:04.120
Two years ago, the Senate Majority Leader, Chuck Schumer,
00:03:07.600
personally threatened Justices Kavanaugh and Gorsuch over their views and their positions on abortion.
00:03:14.060
And a week ago, a California man was charged with attempted murder of Justice Kavanaugh.
00:03:20.760
The national media didn't even cover the story.
00:03:24.120
The 26-year-old man, who told authorities he was mentally ill,
00:03:28.480
was arrested near the justices' home, carrying a handgun.
00:03:32.900
Security for the court and the justices has been elevated in advance of what will be a historic decision,
00:03:38.620
and one the left has openly promised and threatened to protest vigorously.
00:03:47.560
Great political change is in the air, and very likely this year.
00:03:51.960
The midterms are the very stuff of change historically.
00:03:55.760
And the Biden presidency is a disaster of historic proportions and immense pain for the American people.
00:04:03.120
Political strategists are now predicting a landslide win for the GOP,
00:04:07.920
taking back both the House and the Senate and winning big in doing so.
00:04:12.580
Our guest today is one of the Republican Party's brightest leaders, a great American.
00:04:22.200
And now, Congressman Jim Jordan and Congressman, great to have you with us.
00:04:28.360
You've made it absolutely clear that this is a one-sided partisan committee,
00:04:34.980
and yet networks turn over their time to them as if this were some sort of fair enterprise for the republic.
00:04:44.600
Well, and we haven't learned anything we didn't already know, right?
00:04:49.460
They want to make it so President Trump can't run again.
00:04:51.480
We already know they want to get rid of the Electoral College.
00:04:53.260
We already knew that they've talked to hundreds of witnesses, thousands of hours of testimony.
00:04:59.680
And yet, when they put on their production last week, choreographed by the former head of ABC News,
00:05:04.260
we didn't really learn anything that we didn't already know.
00:05:07.720
So I think the big takeaway, Lou, is when you have hundreds of witnesses, thousands of hours of testimony,
00:05:13.920
and no cross-examination, there's no ability for Republicans to say,
00:05:18.620
wait a minute, this was taken completely out of context.
00:05:22.640
No chance to cross-examine the witnesses they brought in front of this committee both last week and this week.
00:05:27.420
So I think that's a problem, and the American people understand.
00:05:30.800
The reason that the Democrats are focused on this is they've got nothing else good to talk about.
00:05:34.100
I have to say, the committee itself looks like an enterprise of some sort of alien species.
00:05:43.040
I mean, I don't understand what they think they're saying, what they're doing.
00:05:47.380
They seem to have these bizarre roles to play, but I just don't get it.
00:05:55.320
Kinzinger, Cheney, this is just a strange group of people assembled for what purpose?
00:06:12.780
The one question that needs to be answered is, why wasn't the National Guard made available that day?
00:06:21.660
And Benny Thompson says that Pelosi's off limits, and the reason he said she's off limits is because
00:06:26.360
she's the one who can answer that question, but they don't want to go there.
00:06:32.800
And frankly, by going after President Trump, I think they're going after the countless number
00:06:37.100
of Americans around the country who don't like this $5 gas, who don't like the 41-year
00:06:41.460
high inflation, who don't like the fact that we no longer have a border, and don't like
00:06:44.880
the rising crime rate that we see in every major urban area.
00:06:47.460
So when that's the situation, and when more than 7 out of 10 of our fellow citizens think
00:06:52.140
this country is headed in the wrong direction, that's why they're focused on January 6th, because
00:06:56.920
as I said before, they've got nothing else to talk about.
00:06:58.740
Nothing else to talk about, and the Republicans right now are talking with a number of strategists
00:07:05.360
looking at, for the first time, people are talking about a huge wave, talking about a
00:07:11.240
gain in the House of 60 seats for the Republicans.
00:07:14.060
I know we're five months out, but that's a pretty big number.
00:07:24.860
As I travel around our district in Ohio, and as I travel around our state and around the
00:07:29.060
country, it sure feels like there is something big going to happen here in the midterm elections,
00:07:37.560
As I said, we have literally went from under President Trump, a secure border, we now have
00:07:42.780
We went from safe streets, we now have record crime.
00:07:45.000
We went from stable energy prices, energy independence, to now $5 gas, and we went from
00:07:50.580
stable prices to a 41-year high inflation rate.
00:07:53.340
We've seen what's happened in foreign policy, and not to mention the attacks on our First
00:07:59.160
So in that context, we better change direction.
00:08:02.860
We better elect Republicans to the majority in both the House and Senate this fall.
00:08:07.460
I do feel like that's going to happen, but we just got to not get overconfident, just keep
00:08:11.000
going out and talking to the American people about what we'll do if, in fact, they give
00:08:16.440
You mentioned it, but the Second Amendment here, what we have seen is this surprise little
00:08:21.820
visitation between 10 Republicans, the usual suspect, Graham, and the list goes on.
00:08:28.240
I don't even want to mention their names, it's so sickening, to come up with a compromise
00:08:34.020
with the House on what they call gun safety when it's gun control, and your thoughts about
00:08:42.460
it, and how concerned should Americans be right now with what that Senate is doing?
00:08:50.140
Well, they should be very concerned, because as I said, we've talked about before, what they've
00:08:54.320
attempted to do to our First Amendment liberties.
00:08:56.120
This whole idea, they were going to set up the Disinformation Governance Board and censor
00:09:00.460
our speech and label us all crazy, and that's misinformation, all that baloney.
00:09:05.520
Now they're coming after the Second Amendment, and the scariest thing in this package is literally
00:09:09.580
they're going to try to bribe states, give states money to set up red flag laws.
00:09:14.700
And the way these red flag laws work, remember the House Democrats passed a red flag law last
00:09:21.640
But the thing that the House passed last week would say on a federal level, it would
00:09:25.420
say that if someone doesn't like you, they can go report you to the government, say you're
00:09:30.440
And then within 24 hours, there's a hearing that you're not allowed to be out.
00:09:39.360
And then for you to get your Second Amendment liberty back, get your property back, your gun or
00:09:44.380
guns, for you to do that, you then have to go to a subsequent hearing that you're
00:09:48.860
allowed to be at. But the standard of proof for the government to keep your right, your
00:09:52.600
fundamental liberty, your second amendment would be from you is a lower standard of proof
00:09:57.640
So that is not how America is supposed to work.
00:10:00.700
And that's what these 10 Republicans are getting in bed with the Democrat Party over
00:10:05.220
there and going to try to pass based on the framework that at least the press has reported
00:10:10.580
What are the Republicans going to learn that rhinos have no place in the party?
00:10:17.480
I mean, when we talk about Lindsey Graham, Mitt Romney, Pat Toomey is resigning, you
00:10:27.400
But the rest of these guys, Tillis from North Carolina, I mean, these are sickening, sickening
00:10:40.940
They don't have a bunch of conservatives over there.
00:10:48.560
And frankly, so many of them, as you pointed out, Lou, who are at least being reported in
00:10:53.940
the press as going, you know, wanting to go along with this deal are not actually coming
00:10:58.440
And so, you know, the voters supported them for all these years.
00:11:02.360
And now on their way out, they're going to do something that goes against the, you know,
00:11:06.020
a core principle and goes against the Second Amendment and due process rights that we're
00:11:13.880
I hope they I hope they don't go down this road.
00:11:16.360
I hope there's a change of heart and this that this bill doesn't pass.
00:11:20.620
But, you know, we'll just have to wait and see.
00:11:22.700
Do you have a sense right now of whether that it will pass or not?
00:11:26.620
I don't because no one's seen the actual language.
00:11:31.500
Like I said, the part I hate the most is the is this red flag concept, because it's it's
00:11:35.940
so contrary to fundamental due process to your Second Amendment rights.
00:11:42.960
You can have your property taken from you and not have done anything wrong based on what
00:11:49.100
someone says to a judge or to a law enforcement officer saying that, you know, you're mentally
00:11:53.380
unstable at the moment and you lose your property, lose your Second Amendment liberties and then
00:11:58.460
for you to get it back and you lose them, by the way, at a hearing again, as I said, you're
00:12:01.820
not allowed to be present at and then for you to get them back, the standard of proof for
00:12:05.840
the government is not beyond a reasonable doubt.
00:12:09.320
And so it's a lower standard when you're talking about one of the most important rights we enjoy
00:12:13.820
and enjoy as Americans, your right to defend yourself, your family, your property and
00:12:17.600
protect your freedom with a firearm that that is what is so wrong about this stuff.
00:12:23.380
Oh, I want to talk about this January 6th committee a little bit more because of Bill Barr's
00:12:27.720
appearance, the former attorney general saying basically the president, he felt was he was
00:12:34.620
I thought he was putting on quite a performance.
00:12:36.420
What I couldn't figure out is why a former Trump official, high official, the attorney general
00:12:42.800
of the United States was trying to entertain a partisan Soviet era style committee as if they
00:12:51.420
Uh, maybe we're being getting some insight into who he really is, but sitting there laughing
00:12:57.280
about, uh, the 2000 mules documentary, the very concept of, uh, geo tracking, uh, as it
00:13:06.000
relates to ballot harvesting in the state of Georgia, particularly, I thought the man acted
00:13:11.980
like a complete and utter buffoon, uh, and not for the first time either.
00:13:18.620
Well, I think step back a second, think about the context, the broader context for four years,
00:13:24.680
they told us something that, you know, they, they told us that president Trump colluded with
00:13:34.120
We now know that based on the Durham report and there's, and there's us been trial, we
00:13:39.760
And that Hillary Clinton actually told us, man, it's okay to take this false story that
00:13:43.640
we made up our campaign made up work through it, working through Perkins Cooey law from
00:13:48.640
We made this up, but it's okay for you to take it to, uh, to take it to the press.
00:13:53.740
And then that story was also then taken to the FBI.
00:13:56.740
Uh, we, we, we know that, but yet, but yet there was no concern according to Democrats,
00:14:04.080
Oh, and as, as recently as, as October of 2020, Hillary Clinton was still saying that
00:14:14.000
I mean, so that's the part that I think just gets at Americans so much is like, oh my goodness,
00:14:20.100
We're not allowed to say we, this should be investigated.
00:14:23.060
If you say that you're crazy, you're going to, you're, you're a conspiracy theory.
00:14:26.240
That's the part that bugs so many Americans because just on the surface, we all understand
00:14:32.800
Namely, the biggest problem was states unconstitutionally changing their election law in the run
00:14:37.900
That's, that's the part that I objected to this, uh, uh, that's where that was where my
00:14:44.860
And then to just downplay it, um, from the left and from others just makes no sense to
00:14:50.040
You know, there's so many things that bother me about that election.
00:14:53.620
Among the things are, are, are the fact that most secretaries of state don't even know
00:14:59.900
They've never looked into the software nor have they been given any guidance on it.
00:15:05.060
Uh, they have no way of, uh, of really confirming the vote in their own States.
00:15:16.680
Then there's the fact that William Barr himself, uh, was the man who decided not to intervene
00:15:21.760
in the election when he knew that Joe Biden, as he has admitted, knew he was lying about
00:15:27.900
Hunter Biden's laptop, about its contents, about the political corruption of the entire Biden
00:15:33.600
family and allowed, uh, allowed this, uh, this presidential candidate to lie about Russian
00:15:42.020
disinformation again, knowing he had been in possession of the laptop for almost a year
00:15:47.860
at that point, knowing full well that they did not have Russian disinformation near that
00:15:56.860
No, there are a lot of questions about the 2020 election.
00:16:01.460
And let me just say very quickly, if you get your response, what bothers me is no one
00:16:06.180
wanted to investigate, not a single court wanted to intervene all of these questions that surrounded
00:16:11.460
2020 and no agency wanted to investigate that on its face is scurrilous.
00:16:19.120
So the left, the, the, the, the MO for these folks is the left makes up the lie.
00:16:28.160
And in many situations, the bureaucracy, the left wing bureaucracy, the swamp also goes
00:16:34.360
And if you question it, then you get censored by big tech and by the government.
00:16:39.880
So we saw that exactly the, the Hunter Biden story.
00:16:43.260
The lie was, Oh, this is Russian disinformation.
00:16:47.120
Big tech said, if you disagree with that, we're going to censor you.
00:16:50.640
And, and, and of course, um, the Democrats said, Oh, 51 former Intel officials are going
00:16:56.960
to sign a letter saying that this is not accurate.
00:17:01.400
It turns out everything about that story, the laptop was real.
00:17:06.300
Everything was real about it so much so that the Washington post had to put out two stories
00:17:10.000
within four hours confirming all that just a few months ago, but Oh, back in the fall
00:17:18.620
And now the good news is the American people have common sense and they say, they see
00:17:22.880
And that's why I think they're going to make a big change, uh, come this, uh, this, this
00:17:32.280
Uh, what concerns me is whether or not we're going to see a repeat of 2020.
00:17:37.540
I don't know what's been done about drop boxes all across the country.
00:17:40.780
I don't know how many, uh, frankly, I don't know how many Archie Epps are out there waiting
00:17:45.040
to be activated, uh, for more, uh, you know, activities, uh, uh, in the streets.
00:17:51.640
I don't know if Antifa and BLM are going to be available, uh, to the democratic party.
00:17:57.440
Again, it's instead of the summer of 2020, making it the fall of 2022.
00:18:02.500
I mean, there are all sorts of questions because there's never been an investigation and put
00:18:06.760
before the American people, we don't have the answers and we haven't had a committee
00:18:11.080
investigation from either the Senate or the house about all of that.
00:18:16.460
No investigation, no impartial bipartisan investigation or what are some of the severest
00:18:23.840
moments, uh, imaginable, uh, in anarchy on the streets of America, we don't have a report
00:18:32.260
Uh, and as you say, with the 2020 election, really?
00:18:37.300
We're supposed to believe these drop boxes, uh, with, uh, geo tracking, uh, you want to
00:18:43.340
say what you want to, I, I mean, I, I love what, uh, Dinesh D'Souza, the producer of that
00:18:47.680
film said about bill bar today saying, you know, a fat guy laughing, isn't really an expert
00:18:58.460
No one knocked down empirically, analytically, and professionally.
00:19:03.260
They, uh, the allegations about drop boxes, not just in Georgia, but around the country.
00:19:09.780
And that's why the week after the election, uh, Jamie Comer, who's the top Republican on
00:19:15.520
And I, uh, the two of us called for an investigation, investigation here at Congress, where you can
00:19:22.320
And, uh, the country just wanted to know, like the, when you have more than half the
00:19:26.220
country who thinks that there's a problem with the election, it makes it, it just warrants
00:19:30.380
And I always point out, just, just, just think about it.
00:19:32.620
Uh, Joe Biden would do an event, Lou, he'd have, uh, he'd have like seven circles painted
00:19:38.740
President Trump would do an event and he could 50,000 people show up to a rally like, like,
00:19:42.860
like he did in, in, in Butler County, uh, over, over in Butler, Pennsylvania.
00:19:46.400
And then, you know, president Trump increases, but with African-Americans increases, but with
00:19:51.120
Hispanic Americans, uh, got 11 million more votes than he did the year before one 19 to
00:19:55.420
20 bellwether counties, house Republicans won 27 out of 27 toss up seats.
00:19:59.520
But somehow the guy who barely left his house, uh, wound up winning the election.
00:20:07.800
I never said it wasn't, but what I did say is why don't we look into it?
00:20:13.380
I'm thinking about president Trump won Ohio by eight, Iowa by eight, Florida by three.
00:20:22.760
But I think it warrants at least looking into, but the left said, no, no, no, we can't have
00:20:30.560
And that's, that's, that was the end of the story.
00:20:33.100
Uh, and then they come along with January 6th and go all do, do all the things they do there.
00:20:36.920
So, um, yeah, the country would like to have had an investigation where we could at least
00:20:40.060
be reassured that everything was actually fine.
00:20:42.100
And according to, you know, what the left tells us.
00:20:45.100
And the left in this country, of course saying, oh, there shouldn't be an investigation might
00:20:48.580
raise some skepticism on the part of the American public about the electoral integrity in this
00:20:56.400
And that's exactly what Americans should be in all cases of our government skeptical.
00:21:01.960
And that unfortunately is, is a position that also resulted in a coverup of what I think
00:21:09.320
is the biggest crime of all, uh, after the persecution of the president is the stealing
00:21:19.820
A lot of Republicans are talking that the whole point of this exercise, but the January 6th
00:21:24.400
committee, the partisan hack, uh, organization is to lay a basis, a foundation just for public,
00:21:32.260
uh, the public record, at least, uh, so that they can indict him and therefore block him,
00:21:40.880
Your thoughts about what are no more than, you know, views of some at this point, but
00:21:47.540
I, I think it's important that Republican leaders speak to this and you certainly, uh,
00:21:53.900
Well, you know, you know, I want president Trump to run it.
00:21:55.980
I think he's going to, and I think he's going to win.
00:21:57.420
Uh, um, and it, you know, it's no, no surprise that Democrats have been out to get this, uh,
00:22:03.380
get president Trump since the day he announced he was running.
00:22:05.960
Uh, and we saw it impeachment one impeachment two.
00:22:08.280
And now this, this committee, I think his impeachment round, uh, three and all throughout
00:22:12.300
that process, the president was not afforded due process.
00:22:18.340
We were down in the bunker in the basement of the Capitol.
00:22:20.840
The president wasn't allowed to have his lawyer there.
00:22:23.220
We weren't allowed to call in witnesses on behalf of the president.
00:22:26.200
He, I mean, at least we got to be in the room and, and, and, and hear the depositions,
00:22:32.320
Democrats got to call the witnesses, but even that as wrong as that was pales in comparison
00:22:36.800
to what they're doing now, because now we don't even get to be in the room to hear any
00:22:41.060
of the testimony, see any of the documents, any of the transcripts.
00:22:44.360
And we don't get to cross-examine the witnesses during, during either the deposition or, or,
00:22:55.060
And I think the reason they want to get him is because they don't like you and I, they
00:22:57.580
don't like the people who support president Trump.
00:22:59.240
That's why they go after him so hard because they don't like us.
00:23:03.080
And the country understands that, but I think we're going to prevail nonetheless.
00:23:07.060
Well, I know that with your leadership, certainly the Republican conference in the house will
00:23:13.420
I look forward to those investigations because there are so many questions and for our
00:23:21.280
And as you say, decide that they don't like either the president Trump or his supporters,
00:23:26.100
uh, the tens of millions of us in this country, uh, they also don't like America.
00:23:32.760
And these Marxist stems who are leading the democratic party mean, mean to destroy it.
00:23:39.600
Uh, we look forward to, uh, the midterm elections and, uh, Congressman Jim Jordan.
00:23:44.300
It is always a pleasure to have you with us here on the great America show.
00:23:53.300
Tomorrow, our guest is Lee Smith, investigative reporter, columnist, bestselling author, and
00:23:59.460
We're taking up the deep state and the Marxist Dems who to this point have gotten away with
00:24:04.920
not only a heist of a presidential election, but the unrelenting political persecution of
00:24:10.860
president Trump from the summer of 2016 to this very day.
00:24:16.140
Join us tomorrow here on the great America show till then.
