Summary
Biden and his cronies are babbling about one thing or the other, and old Joe is still playing pretend president, or is he thinking he s the leader for life of the liberal world order? Some of the wackos who work in the Biden White House seem to think so. The Biden administration is all wrapped up in the January 6th Committee, Stalinist theatrics and show trials that are a partisan cancer in the Democratic Party.

Hello, everybody. I'm Lou Dobbs. Thanks for being with us here today on The Great America Show.
00:00:05.940
Well, we're at midweek, and I'm already, well, thinking about what a great Independence Day holiday we had.
00:00:14.700
Our family this past weekend had a hoop, eating watermelon and eating way too much,
00:00:19.640
watching the grandkids and the dogs playing in the yard, and then setting off fireworks on the 4th
00:00:25.200
and counting our blessings for so many reasons, and certainly because we had such a wonderful
00:00:30.620
traditional 4th of July weekend. Like you, we celebrated our national independence,
00:00:36.700
while the left cussed it and us. They hate this country, don't they? They hate the country that
00:00:43.300
gives them the freedom to hate the country. But we're used to the canary yellow left and their
00:00:48.780
conflicted outlook and their wicked ways, so yes, you and I can handle all of that as well.
00:00:55.200
And suddenly here we are, at midweek, and Biden and his bozos are babbling about one thing or the
00:01:02.820
other, and old Joe is still playing pretend president. Or is he thinking he's the leader
00:01:08.360
for life of the liberal world order? Some of the wackos who work in the puppet presidency seem to
00:01:14.980
think so. Brian Deese, the head of the Biden National Economic Council, who, like his boss,
00:01:20.920
ties high gasoline prices to the Putin invasion of Ukraine, avowing that the Biden presidency will
00:01:28.580
stand firm on both Ukraine and high prices, because Western civilization is at stake here.
00:01:36.700
Reese went on to say Biden will do what he can, which of course isn't much, but suck it up,
00:01:42.380
American consumers, because there are much more important considerations here,
00:01:47.240
like the liberal world order, which the Biden White House supports at whatever cost to America
00:01:54.440
and Americans. The puppet's geniuses have been releasing a million barrels of our oil from the
00:02:01.560
strategic petroleum reserves into our economy each day, trying to lower gasoline prices. That's right,
00:02:09.240
that isn't working. Never has. But now we find out that five million barrels of that oil
00:02:15.720
has been shipped overseas to our friends in Europe. That's right, the same place where Biden has sent our
00:02:23.800
troops to protect the Europeans from Putin because the euros won't. And some of that crude oil being
00:02:31.680
sent to China of all places, the same place that steals five to six hundred billion dollars a year
00:02:38.740
of our intellectual capital and technology, the very same communist China.
00:02:44.520
So who is the Biden Justice Department, after all, prosecuting? Well, they shut down their China
00:02:52.780
focus task force last year, and now they're suing the state of Arizona, which wants voters to show
00:02:59.180
proof of citizenship before they cast their ballots. Wow. Arizona actually wants citizens only voting.
00:03:06.720
And the Biden administration says we're suing. Guess it makes cheating way too hard for the Marxist left.
00:03:14.520
And the Biden Justice Department is all wrapped up in the January 6th committee,
00:03:19.800
Stalinist theatrics and show trials that are a partisan cancer in the Democrat Party. The partisan
00:03:26.840
iniquity of the committee's hearings make the McCarthy era look quaint by comparison. Our guest
00:03:33.060
today is John Solomon. He's founder and editor-in-chief of justthenews.com. John and Just the News
00:03:39.720
during their usual great work and reporting on the committee and its victims. John, always great to
00:03:45.920
have you with us on The Great America Show. Following your reporting and just the news, the committee isn't
00:03:51.060
even trying, it seems to me at least, to appear fair and impartial. It doesn't, to me at least,
00:03:57.880
even try to rise above what is obviously evil farce.
00:04:03.360
Well, listen, I've covered investigative hearings like you have, Lou, for 30 years. And I can't
00:04:08.500
imagine Jaworski, the Watergate prosecutor, putting on a case like this. I can't imagine Fred Thompson,
00:04:14.660
when he did the Clinton scandal hearings. I can't imagine the 9-11 commission holding hearings where you
00:04:23.080
have a hearsay witness, you rush to put her on, and you don't even check with the Secret Service,
00:04:28.080
whether her allegation that Donald Trump, by the way, a sensational allegation, that Donald Trump
00:04:32.840
assaulted the Secret Service and took control of the steering wheel, grabbed the steering wheel of
00:04:38.340
the limousine. I don't know how many people have seen the presidential limousine, but there's a glass
00:04:42.340
divider. The president would have had to cut through the glass divider, jump over his seat to do this.
00:04:47.280
On its face, it should have raised some suspicion, but they don't even go ask the Secret Service about it.
00:04:52.100
They put this testimony out there, and then the next morning, the very allegation that they got
00:04:57.400
headlines on gets debunked. And we've seen this pattern four times in the last month. We saw it
00:05:02.520
with Barry Loudermilk being accused of running a recon mission in the Capitol. Turns out he wasn't
00:05:07.440
even in the Capitol. Capitol police said he didn't do it. We saw this with Bernie Kerik, accused of
00:05:11.700
attending a January 5th meeting in D.C. to overturn the election results. He was in New York. He wasn't
00:05:16.600
at the meeting. We could prove that with phone and toll booth records. And they did it last week with
00:05:21.400
Ron Johnson when they said Ron Johnson tried to hand deliver electors, alternate electors, to Mike
00:05:29.200
Pence, the vice president. And the most interesting thing is they put out some text messages that kind
00:05:34.800
of hinted at it, and they kept secret. The rest of the text messages that show, oh, no, they got
00:05:40.280
waved off that. They never did it. They checked it out. They said, we don't want to do it, and it never
00:05:44.120
happened. This is probably the weakest evidence, most dishonest congressional hearings I've seen in my 30
00:05:50.920
years. The only thing that rivals it may be some of the omissions in the hearings that the Joe
00:05:55.980
McCarthy hearings did in the 1950s. And even then, they had better evidence than what this committee
00:06:00.800
is continually imposing on the American people. It's shameful. They're intentionally, knowingly,
00:06:06.200
and willfully misinforming the public. And the media reports one thing one day and then has to turn
00:06:10.620
around the next day, and they don't question the next piece of evidence they're given. They don't even
00:06:14.600
challenge it for a second. They keep accepting these false stories.
00:06:17.920
To me, John, the thing that rivals it first is the exculpatory knowledge on the part of the
00:06:25.660
Department of Justice, the FBI, when it came to the Russia collusion disinformation campaign,
00:06:33.580
the lies throughout the deep state, the permanent bureaucracy, and the democratic leadership. I mean,
00:06:40.480
it's exactly the same thing. The lies that were told surrounding Zelensky and the phone call with
00:06:46.940
President Trump, the lies about obstruction of justice, trying to construct something,
00:06:54.460
anything that would hold, but they couldn't in two impeachment hearings. This is just the same
00:06:59.760
nonsense. It is. They've gotten away with it for so long, they actually think it's an appropriate
00:07:03.600
thing to do now. And that's bad for the public. You know why? Because as you were talking about how,
00:07:09.740
if you will, tasty, how delicious this would be for one of the January 6th panelists, let's say
00:07:17.060
Liz Cheney, to have out there, I don't think that they checked it because on its face, as you said,
00:07:23.240
it's absolutely nonsensical. So they didn't want to check with the Secret Service because they knew
00:07:29.860
that the odds would be at least 99% that they'd knock it down before they could air it publicly
00:07:35.380
and create a new false narrative for the public to dine on.
00:07:40.860
Yeah, no, you're exactly right. And at some point, the boy that cries wolf syndrome is going to sink
00:07:46.060
in, even with a mainstream media that has been complicit in so much of the lies you just laid
00:07:50.980
out, Russia collusion, Ukraine, Lafayette Square, you can name all the ones that we got misled on in
00:07:55.900
the previous five years. But I think you're starting to see some early cracks in the media.
00:08:01.820
Yesterday, it was NBC News that first reported that the Secret Service was pushing back.
00:08:07.040
So maybe even the mainstream media who've been complicit in these false anti-Trump stories for
00:08:11.840
the last five, even they are tiring of this. But the American people, this is bad for them.
00:08:17.260
Listen, they're worried about inflation, gas prices, food shortages, baby formula shortages,
00:08:22.940
and they keep getting these scandals foist upon them. They get their emotions up. Maybe they get mad
00:08:27.440
for a little while. And then the next day they realize, oh, wait a second, that wasn't true. It was like
00:08:30.920
my kid lying to me when I punished them. It just isn't true. At some point, that cycle
00:08:35.820
has an effect on the American voter, and it usually will be most evident in the next election. They
00:08:41.000
will take it out on the Democrats in the next election. We now have video that disproves all of
00:08:46.700
the, not all, but nearly all of the allegations. Again, the reckless and absurd allegations against
00:08:53.860
the Proud Boys, being a mob of insurrectionists, planted, planting their flag on Capitol Hill.
00:09:03.080
We have everything that, I mean, any substance right now that matters. The hundreds of people
00:09:11.080
have been charged for just being on Capitol Hill recklessly and shamelessly and in violation
00:09:16.680
of all their rights. And now listen, listen to two, two people on, if you will, Fox News. After
00:09:25.140
watching the hearsay evidence of a 25 year old, uh, who suddenly had information no one else
00:09:35.580
This testimony was very compelling from beginning to end. She obviously had access to all of the players.
00:09:42.580
We are now hearing from the former president on various posts where he questions her, uh,
00:09:49.740
accuracy. He goes after her directly, says he doesn't know who she is and said he didn't lunge at
00:09:55.560
the secret service agent in the beast. Uh, that didn't happen. He says he didn't throw his lunch
00:10:00.920
against the wall. That didn't happen. And that she's lying. Cassie Hutchinson is under oath on Capitol
00:10:07.360
Hill. Uh, the president is on truth social, uh, making his statements. What do we
00:10:12.560
was so compelling? I think is, is how it was laid out. We always point out that there's not a pushback
00:10:18.760
and it would have been great to hear Jim Jordan or some congressman say some other angle to this,
00:10:24.820
but the testimony in and of itself is really, really powerful.
00:10:30.780
Your reaction, John, uh, style over substance, right? Uh, you see a journalist here who was wowed
00:10:38.120
by the Hollywood presentation without taking the independence to step back and say, wait a second,
00:10:43.200
she doesn't witness any of these things. She's hearing conversations. She's relaying third party
00:10:47.740
hearsay, which would be inadmissible in a court of law. In many cases, um, uh, a journalist should
00:10:53.660
have gotten past the wow factor and began to ask the questions. Maybe Brett Baer should have called
00:10:58.320
the secret service and said, Hey, uh, this woman makes this allegation, but she wasn't in the car.
00:11:02.820
What do you know about it now to Fox news's credit? One of the reporters finally did that
00:11:07.460
later last night, but to me, I, this is the problem with journalism. You have too many people
00:11:12.520
that aren't actually reporting. They're just opining and they're substituting their opinion for fact
00:11:17.160
that he had an obligation. If he was going to be so enamored by the compelling testimony,
00:11:22.240
he said, all right, wait, this is third party hearsay. How about I call the secret service? How
00:11:25.580
about I call the president of the United States? How about I call other people in the white house?
00:11:29.500
Like the lawyer who says, I wrote a note that Cassie, uh, Cassidy was taking credit for
00:11:34.420
that would have been a more compelling form of journalism for Fox news or for any news outlet.
00:11:39.140
But we have a lot of people today that just want to opine without doing the reporting.
00:11:43.360
When I saw all this yesterday, the first thing I did is I started making calls to my secret service
00:11:47.460
sources, to the Capitol police, the Capitol police said, Hey, listen, this whole thing about guns.
00:11:51.900
We knew about that for two weeks before the way before Donald Trump was talking about it.
00:11:56.560
And we didn't prepare for it. So I put that document out or those set of documents out.
00:12:01.200
I think reporters are better served to stick to facts.
00:12:04.240
I agree with you. When you say we didn't prepare for it, you're referring to the secret service.
00:12:10.060
The Capitol police. Yeah. So what you see in the story we have this morning is on New Year's Eve,
00:12:16.060
2027 days before the fateful riot on Capitol Hill. There is a intelligence officer inside the
00:12:23.860
Capitol police that gets intelligence from his task force and partners. This includes Homeland
00:12:28.380
Security, FBI, U.S. Marshals Service gave him a really big warning. And then he distills it down
00:12:34.300
to the commanders and the intelligence experts and the investigators and say, this is what we're
00:12:38.560
hearing about January 6th. And let's just go through what Nancy Pelosi's Capitol police. Remember,
00:12:44.040
at this moment, the Capitol police report to Nancy Pelosi through the House Sergeant-at-Arms.
00:12:48.100
This is what is sitting. These are quotes from the intelligence report distributed to people in the
00:12:54.960
Capitol police that morning. And I'm going to pull them up. I'm going to pull the document up because
00:12:58.980
they're just so compelling when you look at them. It's very much like 9-11, where we now know,
00:13:04.800
because of the work of the commission, that all the dots are sitting there. No one put them together.
00:13:09.060
You have almost an identical scenario here. And let me just read you. This is from the morning of
00:13:14.820
December 31st, about seven days before the Capitol was overrun. Far-right extremists are calling for
00:13:23.720
an armed encampment and to hang corpses of Democrats at January 6th pro-Trump demonstrations.
00:13:29.940
That's one of the intel summaries that they got. Here's another one. Armed and ready demonstrators
00:13:34.920
urged to bring guns, prepare for violence at January 6th, stop the steel protests. Here's a third entry
00:13:40.060
that came in. Far-right forum users discussed taking violent actions at D.C. Trump rally. And
00:13:47.660
I'll give you a fourth one that came in from the Marshal Service, which is pretty remarkable.
00:13:52.320
Marshal Service had intelligence because they're embedded sometimes with some of these bad groups.
00:13:56.800
In about two weeks, there's going to, this is a quote that they captured from a social media video
00:14:00.460
on TikTok. In about two weeks, there's going to be a march in D.C. This is one of the planned
00:14:05.140
attendees talking to others on TikTok. You know, those cops are going to be lined up with their
00:14:09.780
shields. And I'm going to not use the next word of expletive. You know what I mean? We got to get
00:14:14.340
some blank going on with snipers. They were talking about using guns. So the president might have made
00:14:19.780
a comment on January 6th. On the 31st, there are multiple warnings to Capitol Police that some bad
00:14:25.920
things are going to happen. And here's what they don't do. They don't get more riot squads. They don't
00:14:29.860
even have their riot gear available the morning of. They don't tell their frontline officers.
00:14:33.800
And they turned down not once but twice an offer from the president of the United States and his
00:14:38.960
Pentagon to have 10,000 troops that could quell any violence that these people were talking about
00:14:44.100
in these intercepts. These documents show the one thing the Democrats are trying to distract from.
00:14:50.760
The riot on January 6th, 2021 was preventable. Security could have prevented the bad people from
00:14:57.180
doing what they did. And they dropped the ball. And everything else they're doing right now
00:15:01.480
is to distract our attention from that irrefutable reality.
00:15:06.320
The mendaciousness of this committee, its panel members, is, even by Marxist-DEM standards,
00:15:15.400
overwhelming. It really is. There is one other thing that might have been taken into consideration
00:15:21.660
when evaluating the claims of this young witness with such apparently preposterous claims, frankly.
00:15:33.040
Maybe someone should have asked, was Donald Trump lying here or was Adam Schiff?
00:15:39.820
Was Jamie Raskin lying here or was Donald Trump? Which has the record of telling the truth,
00:15:50.920
being straightforward throughout this three years of FBI investigation, almost two years
00:15:58.260
of special counsel, two presidential impeachments, and now the January 6th.
00:16:02.820
Donald Trump has never been found to have lied. Adam Schiff has. Jamie Raskin and the previous
00:16:11.920
committees, including especially the House Intelligence Committee, lying. So I think that maybe
00:16:18.080
anyone trying to analyze something as it's moving, who isn't given to talking to sources, as you point out,
00:16:26.660
apparently had none, and makes that claim about how compelling this is, might have to evaluate just
00:16:36.020
who are the sources here. I think you're right. Or Adam Schiff. You're right. We have a five-year
00:16:42.780
record of history of accusations made by these same players. They have turned out time and time and time
00:16:49.400
again to be erroneous. Adam Schiff on Russian bounties, on Lafayette Square, on the Trump
00:16:56.160
withheld the National Guard in the morning of the six. The IG came out a few months ago, said that
00:17:00.280
wasn't true. Russia collusion, Ukraine, bad phone call turned out to be a good phone call. At some
00:17:06.200
point, you would ask yourself as a journalist, at what point am I going to start challenging the stuff
00:17:11.380
that people are feeding me without having a skeptical eye? And sadly, very few journalists have
00:17:16.700
made that flip despite five years of being misled and looked foolish. I mean, the front pages of the
00:17:21.620
New York Times and the Washington Post from the era of Donald Trump will be an embarrassment to
00:17:26.220
the institution of journalism for decades to come. They wrote false stories about a president
00:17:31.940
repeatedly and only later, years later, corrected. And then the same people who made him do that or
00:17:37.560
tricked him into doing that did it again on Ukraine and did it again on impeachment, did it again on
00:17:42.420
January 6th? At some point, journalists have an obligation to say, you know what, I need to be
00:17:47.380
more skeptical. I'm not going with this. I'm not giving him primetime television until I can figure
00:17:52.660
out if they're telling the American people the truth. That's the moment of reckoning I think our
00:17:56.760
profession faces right now. Journalism has much to answer for corporate journalism in this country.
00:18:03.400
So do some of the contributors to various networks. And in particular, I'm going to select
00:18:09.700
Andrew McCarthy, former federal prosecutor, again on Fox on Trump. His reaction to Cassidy Hutchison's
00:18:21.040
testimony. Here is a former federal prosecutor who has suddenly a very conventional, I'll put it that
00:18:31.800
way, conventional perspective on Fox. Here he is.
00:18:37.360
In the White House. I must say, watching this, a couple of things. First of all, it's devastating
00:18:44.420
testimony. And having been one of us who stressed a number of times that, you know, the committee doesn't
00:18:53.160
have cross-examination. And as a result, you have to discount virtually everything you hear because in a normal
00:18:59.340
proceeding, you would have that. I also have to, on the other side, LaCroix, note that if this was a
00:19:05.020
grand jury proceeding, you would not get cross-examination. The grand jury would be presented
00:19:09.660
the evidence in the really the best light favorable to the prosecution. And this would be the kind of
00:19:16.680
evidence that would have a great impact on a grand jury that was considering whether to bring charges or
00:19:22.360
not. A grand jury. Uh, that was quite a, uh, and suddenly we've got a whole new ball game here for
00:19:30.880
this. Uh, well, it's a word of caution. I think, uh, when you hear what he says, and again, he's an
00:19:36.580
opinionator, so he's allowed to have an opinion. I think what I take from that, and again, I don't
00:19:41.700
know what his intention was in making those comments is there's a danger of this sort of mob
00:19:47.580
mentality that Washington has been doing the last six years. And if it can happen on plain national
00:19:54.340
television without anyone challenging it, imagine what happens behind the closed doors of a grand
00:19:59.420
jury. That this all Democrat run town has the ability to control the flow of information without
00:20:06.020
being challenged. The FBI did it against Donald Trump on Russia collusion. We now know the FBI knew
00:20:11.960
when it was opening up investigations, they knew what they were investigating was false and they still
00:20:16.980
investigate it. I think the bigger warning, and again, I don't know his intention, but I will say
00:20:21.420
this. I do share this concern that the one side, you have corporate media Democrats and the bureaucrats
00:20:28.000
all controlling the narrative in Washington. And that allows for official actions to be taken without
00:20:33.640
truth being challenged or facts being challenged. And that's why you look, look what happened to Mike
00:20:39.200
Flynn. Mike Flynn got indicted and made a deal to plead guilty to something he didn't do
00:20:44.660
because the environment in Washington gave him very little chance of winning. And I think if that's
00:20:50.840
what Andrew McCarthy is saying, I would agree that that's a dangerous moment, that we live in a
00:20:56.120
one-sided town where facts can't balance the picture. But if he's just trying to say, geez,
00:21:00.960
I hope the president gets indicted, I don't think there's any room for that on television now.
00:21:05.660
There's not a basis for an indictment against the president right now, certainly not in the
00:21:09.260
factual record that the January 6th committee has put out. Well, what he did say is to me,
00:21:18.900
it's unimaginable for a former federal prosecutor to laud the process of a grand jury investigation
00:21:27.600
against a hearing by a partisan committee in public. The whole point of a grand jury investigation
00:21:37.520
is to come to a charge, is it not? It is. Not to be also the jury that stands to determine one's
00:21:44.600
guilt or innocence. It's really quite a different thing. But for him now suddenly to accept
00:21:49.900
the same dicta that surrounds a grand jury investigation for a public hearing assassinating,
00:21:57.300
figuratively speaking, assassinating again a president of the United States. It's appalling to me,
00:22:05.940
John. I can't tell you how far these people have fallen. And for them to all sort of convene free
00:22:16.500
floating in the heady atmospherics of media. And suddenly they coalesce around one person,
00:22:24.520
and that person is Donald Trump. And they are going to savage him no matter what.
00:22:30.580
And it's appalling. It's that same mob mentality, that same mob mentality that misled the American
00:22:37.100
voters in the fall of 2020. Because the mob, which began with 51 so-called national security
00:22:43.040
experts, and then the media, then the Twitter censors, and the Facebook centers, and then Joe
00:22:47.240
Biden himself lying to the American people, they censored, they successfully kept from the American
00:22:52.440
people the evidence on Hunter Biden's wrongdoing on that laptop. This mob mentality is what I think
00:22:58.980
has taken over Washington for the last six years. And it suffocates truth from coming out. It
00:23:04.040
misleads the American people. And it allows for official things to happen that should not happen
00:23:09.240
in an earlier histories of America would not have happened. Mike Flynn would not have been died in
00:23:14.240
an earlier era, the 1980s or the 1970s. That FBI investigation would never have been allowed to
00:23:20.900
proceed the way it did. But we're living in this mob mentality where the alliance of bureaucrats,
00:23:26.380
Democrats, Democrats, and media are dictating actions even when the evidence doesn't warn it. And I think
00:23:31.640
that's the biggest wake-up call Americans are facing today. The America as we know it is being changed by
00:23:38.980
It is, as you call it, a mob. It is, in my judgment, an alignment of the Marxist Dems who have
00:23:46.440
taken over the Democrat Party, who have taken over the permanent bureaucracy, who have taken over
00:23:53.660
corporate media. The left controls the wealth, the government, and one party in its entirety,
00:24:02.920
and part of the other, the rhinos of the Republican Party. Truth hasn't much of a chance against that.
00:24:11.180
That consolidated a ray of the largest, wealthiest, and most powerful interests in the country, does it?
00:24:20.180
No, it doesn't. You said it perfectly. It's so powerful that someone as important and as
00:24:26.060
accomplished as a Mike Flynn would plead guilty rather than continue to fight the mob because he
00:24:31.440
got drained of all of his resources. You know, one of the things you see the Democrats exercise right
00:24:36.560
now is a tactic called lawfare, which is you can destroy someone even if they turn out to be
00:24:42.340
innocent by draining their money, draining their resources, draining their reputation.
00:24:47.260
And the weaponization of the law by the FBI, by the intelligence community, by Democrats has drained
00:24:55.080
the reputations and the bank accounts of truly innocent people. And that is the greatest danger of
00:25:00.960
this tactic, political tactic that we now call lawfare. Americans have to understand if it can happen to,
00:25:06.540
a Mike Flynn one day or Donald Trump one day, it could happen to them to the next. What separated us
00:25:11.540
for years from all the banana republics was our resistance of that type of misuse of government
00:25:16.800
power, the crushing power of the state. But this group, this generation of journalists, bureaucrats,
00:25:22.440
prosecutors, and Democrats don't seem to revere those values that made our justice system so unique.
00:25:29.500
The ends justify the means and the ends are often political, not legal. And I fear that's where our
00:25:34.780
country is hurtling toward an anarchy in what used to be one of the greatest justice systems in America,
00:25:42.860
And the matter is still there. It's hearsay. It's all out of the, all of this disinformation,
00:25:51.700
the lies, the corrupt, but also compelling, according to some media types, very compelling. Most importantly,
00:26:02.340
it's compelling. They're lies. They're vicious lies. And they are just simply out there in the atmospherics,
00:26:12.620
as I said, and they can't come back, unlike a grand jury whose proceedings are kept secret,
00:26:20.100
waiting for a public trial where you do have both sides. It's, it's, it's a savage and intended
00:26:27.280
result. By the way, the secret service, you were talking about your sources, the secret service in
00:26:33.460
this. How in the world have they not responded publicly to this point?
00:26:38.720
Yeah. Well, I think they're trying to do it the way they often do it. They never talk, you know,
00:26:42.440
they, they, they pride themselves on not talking about the people they protect, but they have sent
00:26:46.780
giant fireworks into the sky saying, Hey, this isn't true. And at some point, I assume that, uh,
00:26:53.000
either Republicans will get a letter. Think about how long it took for the Capitol police to respond
00:26:58.120
out of fear that they might get punished by the Democrats. It took them six weeks to write a letter
00:27:03.280
to tell us that Barry Lautimer did not run a reconnaissance mission on behalf of those who
00:27:08.400
assaulted the Capitol. Six weeks. It took the police to write that letter and to get the truth out. Why?
00:27:13.720
Because that mob mentality will suck them up just like they'll suck up the, uh, the secret service.
00:27:19.000
And, and, and I think institutions that used to feel comfortable speaking out the truth saying, Hey,
00:27:24.520
we're the secret service. They now see the mob mentality and they're going to wait,
00:27:28.120
to be asked in an official capacity, but they have sent up giant flares. It was not hard yesterday
00:27:33.100
to get confirmation from secret service sources that this incident had not happened too bad.
00:27:39.460
The committee didn't take the time to go do that before they foisted that story on the American
00:27:43.520
public. Of course, that was exactly their intent. Exactly. And, uh, no one should, should doubt,
00:27:50.080
uh, it at all. Uh, let me, let me say this. If the Republicans were to hold a quick hearing
00:27:56.960
and had the power to select one, one witness to subpoena and to bring before it with cameras
00:28:04.700
rolling, what would you think if I suggested they do do this? They select William Barr,
00:28:11.360
former attorney general, have him explain why knowing all that he did about Hunter Biden,
00:28:19.620
about Joe Biden. And by the way, all of this, all of the intelligence services had to know that
00:28:25.160
Hunter Biden was involved with the intelligence agencies. Yes. Uh, so, and having listened to
00:28:34.000
the vice, former vice president lie in the second debate, uh, about everything about Russian
00:28:40.820
disinformation, about the laptop, about the corruption of the family, he chose not to intervene
00:28:46.080
and explain how that was not an intervention in behalf of a lying, corrupt, uh, former vice president
00:28:54.400
and his family. Why would we not have that man stand up as a witness and explain how he changed
00:29:01.840
history? We can forget about all the election, uh, fraud and ballot trafficking and Zucker box.
00:29:09.780
Uh, but that one man changed the outcome of that election. Do you agree? Yeah, listen, I was one of
00:29:16.240
the reporters that had been told in 2019 and again in 2020 that they were, the FBI was investigating, uh,
00:29:22.880
Hunter Biden. And on both occasions, the Trump justice department, once under attorney general
00:29:28.100
sessions and once under attorney general Barr flatly denied it saying it wasn't true. It turns out I was
00:29:33.980
right now when your reporter and the head of the agency says it isn't true. Well, you know, then you, you have to
00:29:38.740
go back to the drawing board, but, uh, yeah, listen, there's a great question here. Does omission, does
00:29:45.000
silence become complicity? And I think that, uh, you see now with the, in the aftermath of 2020,
00:29:52.140
how dangerous it was that the justice department couldn't or chose not to tell the American people,
00:29:58.420
they knew that there was a potentially compromised, um, uh, president and the justice department didn't
00:30:03.900
even have to confirm the, uh, nature of the criminal investigation. There were many other things
00:30:09.700
the justice department could have done to signal that they had concerns about Hunter Biden's behavior
00:30:15.440
because it had been going on for two years. And, um, history will look back at this moment as one of
00:30:21.040
the great, uh, insults to the American public that they were forced to vote for a vice president soon to
00:30:27.260
be president who had this compromising issue in his family. And they were told not to believe it. I think
00:30:33.660
of that moment, I, at least John Radcliffe went out and challenged the laptop story saying it's not
00:30:38.360
Russian disinformation, but the justice department was silent, even though they knew the laptop was
00:30:43.760
in their possession and it was true. I think this is one instance, John, if I may, where we don't have
00:30:49.540
to, to go broader wide. We have one man, Liam Barr, the attorney general who acknowledged that he knew
00:30:57.600
all of this and he chose not to speak. And he is the chief law enforcement officer.
00:31:03.660
The chief officer of the country, the chief, the chief officer of our legal system and prosecution
00:31:11.640
who had an abject, absolute responsibility to tell the American people the truth in anything he did.
00:31:19.220
Not a matter of omission, not a matter of, uh, uh, of action. It is simply a basic fundamental
00:31:27.080
responsibility to tell the American people the truth and where they're not being told the truth
00:31:32.400
to raise his hand and point his finger vividly, immediately and say, liar.
00:31:40.300
His own contradiction. That's who Joe Biden is. You, you, there's something that I was thinking
00:31:45.120
about recently about this, Lou, and I think you're really, this is really a great line of argument.
00:31:49.040
His own behavior in September of 2020, uh, undercuts his claim that I didn't want to interfere in the
00:31:56.720
election. In September, 2020, the justice department was still declassifying documents
00:32:01.000
about Donald Trump and the Russia case, which implicated vice president Joe Biden, president
00:32:06.120
Biden, uh, by president Obama. He had no problem with that part, but then he couldn't talk about
00:32:10.540
Hunter Biden. It's a head scratcher as to why he picked, picked and chose what he was going to tell
00:32:16.460
the American people. And he didn't. And I think at some point, uh, the American public probably needs
00:32:21.380
to pressure the justice department to change these roles so that things that affect elections can be
00:32:26.440
more clearly transparent to us. So we can go in with eyes wide open when we vote. I think that history
00:32:32.040
will look back at this time as one where we dropped the ball, that word, Attorney General Barr and others
00:32:36.440
dropped the ball. Yeah. I, I, I admire the, the room, the latitude that you're giving him.
00:32:42.640
Uh, the fact of the matter is this man had a responsibility, an obligation as the chief law
00:32:48.340
enforcement officer of the land. Uh, he had an obligation, just a moral obligation, not to put a
00:32:55.500
person with that level of corruption in his family, uh, the exposure he had to, uh, you know, to enemies
00:33:04.240
of the Republic. Uh, and, and, and actually he is the one who pointed out, he knew the truth
00:33:10.500
and he lied by not speaking the truth. Uh, it, and changed history. Uh, don't you agree?
00:33:18.700
It definitely changed history. The, the laptop story and the failure to acknowledge that Hunter
00:33:23.820
Biden was under criminal investigation for two full years before the election, uh, is, uh, is going to
00:33:29.760
be something that forever will have changed an election. There will always be that asterisk in the
00:33:33.260
2020 election. And there's another question. We are now in nearly the summer of 2022 or four years
00:33:39.700
nearly from the start of the Hunter Biden investigation. Why does it take four years to
00:33:43.800
make a decision on the criminality of Joe Biden's son, but it took less than months to make decisions
00:33:49.040
about Trump people, January six people, the system of justice seems to grind to a halt to the advantage
00:33:54.660
of Democrats and liberals. And I think that's another piece of the system. There's no reason a tax case
00:34:00.040
should take four years. It, they could have easily gotten this done and indicted by 2020. There's a
00:34:05.120
great mystery why it takes four years to figure this out. Can I solve a mystery for you?
00:34:10.080
This is, this is my, my moment to play Sherlock Holmes. I believe it's a clear statement
00:34:18.040
that Bill Barr is a creature of the deep state, uh, that the deep state is aligned inextricably,
00:34:26.900
uh, absolutely with the Marxist Dem party and the Democrat party that it controls. Uh, I think it is
00:34:36.840
that straightforward. And those are, those are very disheartening things to think about. And to,
00:34:42.200
to, to the, we have to do something to fix the system so that Americans trust elections, trust
00:34:47.740
their justice department, trust their FBI. Uh, and the current leaders in this town show no will to do
00:34:53.580
that. And I say that of Republicans and Democrats alike, there are very few people in this town.
00:34:58.320
They'll all tell you behind closed doors, what's wrong with the town. Very few of them have the courage
00:35:02.680
to fix it. And that is unlike other generations of Americans who always stepped to the, to the plate
00:35:07.940
to, to do the right thing. We have to get leaders willing to do the right thing in this next round
00:35:13.060
We always give our guests, John, as you know, the last word, I, if I may, I'd, I'd like you to address
00:35:19.760
where you think this, uh, how you think this January 6th committee, uh, concludes, uh, in this moment
00:35:28.140
I think in most Americans minds, it's already concluded. They stopped tuning in a long time ago.
00:35:32.360
Elites are watching it. MSNBC crowd is watching it. Most Americans are trying to figure out whether
00:35:37.220
they're going to be able to fill their gas tank or the grocery cart next week. They long since tuned this out.
00:35:41.620
They figured out what happened. I think the great thing that is going to come of these hearings is
00:35:46.500
Democrats will have been allowing Donald Trump in their head for so long, rent free, that they blow
00:35:52.300
this election, that they are not, they fail to focus on what Americans sent them to Washington to fix.
00:35:58.080
And in November, they're going to pay a dear price because they still have that vendetta against
00:36:02.760
Donald Trump, who, by the way, hasn't been in office for 18 months and they're not doing the
00:36:06.620
people's business. I think the reckoning comes in November.
00:36:09.700
From your lips to God's ears, John Solomon is always a great discussion. Thank you so much
00:36:17.500
for being with us here. Uh, we recommend just the news.com to you highly, uh, and, uh, often.
00:36:25.720
Thank you, sir. Always an honor to be on your show.
00:36:28.180
John Solomon, founder, CEO of just the news.com. Thank you. God bless you, John.
00:36:34.320
You too, Lou. Thanks everybody for being with us. We'll have with us tomorrow, the attorney general
00:36:40.060
of the great state of Missouri, Eric Smith, and we'll be taking up the Supreme court decisions,
00:36:47.080
the left-wing prosecutors who don't prosecute that is, and much more. Please join us until then.
