00:01:14.940 Hello, everybody. I'm Lou Dobbs and welcome to The Great America Show. It is great to have you with

00:01:23.500 us today. It's easy to get exasperated with politics in this country, isn't it? We all know

00:01:30.320 the deal. We're being bombarded with Republican this and Democrat that. Obama says one thing,

00:01:36.860 Biden cries about Hunter and Congress acts like they didn't know they had to reauthorize FISA

00:01:41.900 more than a year ago. The new speaker plays the game and does what? He has 147 Republicans line up to

00:01:50.120 vote to allow them to spy on American citizens. And it all just happens before they happen to take

00:01:57.640 off on Christmas break. Boom. It's done. They didn't lay a finger on the deep state, the corrupt FBI and

00:02:04.580 Justice Department. So it'll be round two next year. All politics. Pretend Republicans against

00:02:11.760 the Marxists who pretend to be Democrats. The Iowa caucus less than a month away now and things

00:02:18.020 couldn't look any better for President Trump. And that means they're looking pretty good for you and

00:02:22.860 me. President Trump is healthy. His message is getting great reception from the people and his

00:02:28.560 polling numbers are through the roof. Historic, in fact. In the latest Fox News poll, Donald Trump

00:02:34.820 received 69% support from the Republican Party. That's up seven points from November. It is up 26 points

00:02:44.080 since last February. To put all of that in perspective, fewer than a third of Republican primary voters are

00:02:52.100 supporting all of Trump's rivals combined, with 12% going to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, 9% for former

00:03:01.760 South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, and the rest to the also-rans. Trump's polling strength is resonating 0.99

00:03:09.760 well beyond the primary field. Just yesterday, we found out Obama's terrified because he now believes

00:03:16.120 that Trump will beat Biden. Well, that message has hit Biden. Biden is reportedly privately upset by his

00:03:24.500 poor polling and has complained to his aides, who say he's wondering why his message isn't resonating

00:03:30.760 with the American people. Really? Well, first of all, I don't know about you. I don't believe for a

00:03:37.240 minute Joe Biden, the pretend president, has any questions about anything at all. That's just more

00:03:43.480 disinformation from the White House, more propaganda, make-believe like Camelot, castles in the clouds,

00:03:50.940 and a puppet in the turret. President Trump at a rally in Reno, Nevada over the weekend laid out the

00:03:57.040 case against Biden and why he's being rejected by the American people. Mr. President, take it away.

00:04:04.100 Averaging your dreams. His sky-high energy prices are brutalizing your wallets. Our border has been

00:04:11.480 erased. We have no border any longer. Criminals are running wild in our Democrat-run cities while

00:04:18.140 Christians and conservatives are persecuted. And thanks to Crooked Joe's breathtaking weakness,

00:04:25.380 the world is going up in flames. The world is laughing at us. They can't blame, I tell you what,

00:04:32.480 they can't blame us. This is the USA. They're not blaming us. They're blaming him. He is a laughing

00:04:39.260 stock all over the world. Our country is being laughed at. Joe Biden and the Democrat Party are

00:04:47.680 incapable of solving any problem. There's not a problem they've been able to solve. Crooked Joe

00:04:53.840 is a low, you know this, did you ever hear this? Crooked Joe is a low IQ individual.

00:05:01.700 And he is truly the worst, most incompetent, and most corrupt president in the history of our country.

00:05:11.440 In fact, Jimmy Carter is very happy because he looks like a brilliant, that was a brilliant

00:05:21.080 administration by comparison to what you have right now. Very, very brilliant indeed. But with your vote

00:05:28.440 in this election, together, we are going to save America. We're going to bring back our country,

00:05:34.180 and we're going to bring it back from hell, because that's where it's been.

00:05:40.120 Biden isn't really wondering why his messages don't resonate. Everything he touches goes south,

00:05:45.720 it crumbles, because he's proved to Americans he flat doesn't care what the people think.

00:05:51.280 He doesn't care what they think, you and me. And it's plain they're reciprocating.

00:05:56.720 They don't much care for this puppet president, who's proved himself to be inept, corrupt,

00:06:02.360 impaired, and did I mention corrupt? President Trump is now leading Biden in the real clear

00:06:08.000 politics average by three and a half points. It seems it's not just the American people who are

00:06:13.360 rejecting Biden and his family. Former press secretary Jen Psaki on Meet the Press this week,

00:06:20.200 saying Hunter Biden needs to disappear for a while and stay away from the White House.

00:06:25.460 Look, I think if you're sitting in the White House right now, you're like, please, Hunter Biden,

00:06:29.620 we know your dad loves you. Please stop talking in public. This is not helpful to any of them for

00:06:34.700 him to be out there. But at the same time, the president loves his son. That takes precedent over

00:06:39.620 anything else. That is appealing. I'm thinking of the woman in your focus group who talked about

00:06:43.380 family. He loves his son. He loves his family. He's worried about his mental health. But yes,

00:06:47.680 the White House would like him to probably go away right now.

00:06:49.700 I tend to disagree with Psaki. Hunter should keep talking, please, and continue incriminating

00:06:57.140 himself and his corrupt father. Imagine, though, imagine where we'd be if there were no Hunter

00:07:04.580 Biden laptop. Think about that. And over in Europe, it appears that President Biden's administration

00:07:11.620 has convinced the European Commission to go after Elon Musk, the Marxist European Commission initiating 0.88

00:07:19.440 formal proceedings against Musk, former Twitter called X now, for allegedly failing to comply with

00:07:26.540 the European's Digital Services Act. Also referred to as the DSA, the DSA puts strict controls on social

00:07:34.420 media companies to, quote, moderate misinformation. Oh, that's great. We're going to have the Europeans 1.00

00:07:41.280 telling us what's true and not true now. The world's richest man is now under attack on all fronts. The

00:07:48.440 Marxist Biden regime, the SAC, the Marxist EU Commission, it's all because Musk is the man who showed the world

00:07:55.820 how to build electric vehicles and made a fortune with Tesla. He's effectively the U.S. space program.

00:08:02.380 Without him, without SpaceX, no astronaut could get to the space station. Think about that. Billions upon

00:08:10.240 billions of dollars, he founded as well PayPal with Peter Thiel. He made another fortune, founded

00:08:16.180 Neuralink, the boring company that digs tunnels, as you might guess. And oh yes, there's OpenAI. He is one

00:08:23.640 of the leaders in artificial intelligence. He's a co-founder. And he bought Twitter and turned it into X

00:08:29.600 and made it clear he's all about free speech. That did not go over well with the Biden regime.

00:08:36.080 So the Justice Department is now investigating X as well. And the Transportation Department is going

00:08:42.440 after X also. To sum it up, Musk has run afoul of the international Marxist movement. And yes, I believe

00:08:50.420 the Biden regime means to try to destroy him. And to destroy the whole country, for that matter.

00:08:55.900 Remember when Joe Biden told us in 2020 that decency was on the ballot? That a vote for the Republicans

00:09:02.820 was somehow a vote against decency? Well, he lied. And he lied a lot, as he did just about everything.

00:09:11.380 Over the weekend, Senator Ben Cardin's staffer and a man who had appeared in a 2020 Biden promo

00:09:17.520 was caught filming a gay pornography in a Senate hearing room. The same room that's used to question

00:09:24.720 future Supreme Court justices, for example. The staffer has since been fired, but there are a lot

00:09:30.540 of questions that remain. How did those two get access to the hearing room? Who was the other person

00:09:37.560 in the video? Who found them? Were there any arrests? The footage was allegedly shared online in a private

00:09:44.440 group for gay men in the political scene and reportedly appeared on a since-deleted account

00:09:50.000 on X. The staffer also shared a slew of other pictures on that account. There's decency for you.

00:09:57.480 The Republicans, as I said at the outset, giving the deep state authority to keep spying on them

00:10:02.900 and on all the rest of us. Most importantly, all the rest of us. Let's bring in our guest today.

00:10:09.100 He knows something about spying, and he knows something about being spied upon.

00:10:14.220 Cash Battelle has been spied on while he was the chief of staff of the House Intelligence Committee.

00:10:20.120 He has considerable insight into all of this. He's the best-selling author of Government Gangsters,

00:10:25.540 which I recommend to you highly. He's an attorney and a great American. Cash Battelle,

00:10:30.340 welcome back to the show. Let's get your thoughts first on Speaker Mike Johnson,

00:10:34.320 who obviously caved to the deep state and the Marxist Dems, giving them a FISA 702 renewal to spy

00:10:42.580 until at least, well, next April. A license to spy.

00:10:47.420 Well, Lou, it's always great to be with you, especially during the lead-up to the holiday season,

00:10:51.180 and I wish I had some Christmas cheer for your audience here. But, you know, what I call this

00:10:57.580 renewal on 702 FISA, just a basic breakdown. FISA is Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Tool,

00:11:04.000 and we use it to manhunt terrorists, and 702 is just a component of it. And what happened is,

00:11:11.020 no surprise, the FBI committed Russia Gate 2.0 and illegally used FISA 702 275,000 times

00:11:20.720 to illegally target American citizens on American soil. And that's not Cash Battelle or Devin Nunes

00:11:27.300 saying it. That's the FISA court. The same guys that rescinded Rod Rosenstein's illegal surveillance

00:11:32.820 warrant, FISA warrant, against President Trump. And here's the real big problem, Lou. The FISA court

00:11:39.300 found that the FBI illegally surveilled 24,000 groups affiliated with January 6th and 19,000 donors

00:11:49.960 to a congressional campaign. Donors. The very weaponization of justice and its politicization

00:11:57.640 has happened by Chris Wray's FBI. And all that Congress had to do was install the fixes that Devin

00:12:05.040 Nunes and I laid out five years ago, because this clause of FISA expires on the 31st, and Congress in

00:12:12.060 their typical fashion acted in a D.C. style, waited till the last minute, and failed to agree on anything.

00:12:20.000 So they extended the program for what is the equivalent of another year. So basically, Chris Wray was

00:12:26.000 rewarded for breaking the law, and he will be allowed to use this tool to rig another election against

00:12:31.220 President Trump. Well, wait a minute, Cash. Everybody said they just reauthorized it to April,

00:12:37.320 that it was just a short-term CR deal, revisited in April. Did they just forget to tell us what year?

00:12:48.360 Well, Lou, as you know, these swamp monsters speak in typical D.C. government cheese. And while they

00:12:54.520 sell you, they reauthorized it to April 2024. What they didn't tell you is the FBI and the FISA court

00:13:01.920 are permitted to extend the surveillance for 702 till the end of the year with this four-month

00:13:09.940 reauthorization. And who's going to stop them? Well, let me guess. It won't be the oversight

00:13:17.300 committees, the Judiciary Committee. It won't be anyone in Congress, because they no longer have

00:13:24.160 the constitutional authority that our founders envisioned they would. We're in a, we're in a,

00:13:31.040 I don't know what to call it. A crisis is too small a word and too, too trivial. We're in now

00:13:39.680 an emergency that the likes of which I think is going to creep into every part of our society

00:13:46.380 within the next, within the next year. And that is, I will remind everybody, an election year.

00:13:52.380 This is not a good thing, is it, Cash? No, it's terrible. You think the American people

00:13:57.140 would have learned the first time over, and it's not the American people's fault,

00:14:01.520 I should rephrase. You think Congress would have learned. This isn't a right-wing conspiracy.

00:14:05.460 We're not bringing you information. The FISA court order that I cited is public. Lou,

00:14:09.060 it's been out for a year and a half. And Congress has had the classified information underlying it for,

00:14:15.120 I don't know, two, three years. And Chris Wray comes to the Hill and testifies under oath that

00:14:20.680 the, the, the, the one cop who broke FISA has told Congress, I fixed it. Nothing to see here.

00:14:27.460 We're doing more training. And now we catch his FBI agents literally using a foreign intelligence

00:14:33.020 surveillance tool against political opponents and for purposes surrounding free speech in January 6th.

00:14:40.580 And every time the FISA court said each one of those surveillance targeting operations was illegal,

00:14:47.760 and it's not the Republicans that say it. So it's a monumental failure when you have essentially the

00:14:53.820 referee that got caught in the last election cycle rigging a warrant to illegally surveil Trump.

00:15:01.360 Those guys are the ones telling the FBI they broke the law again, and we gave them a reward.

00:15:06.240 Let's see if we can get this sort of organized around what the American people really

00:15:11.320 should be, be told rather than what they're being told. One of the things that they brought up,

00:15:19.240 and I'm hearing a lot of it on left-wing television, the MSNBCs, NBC, all of that.

00:15:25.580 But, you know, they're talking about the insurrectionists again, they've started that chatter.

00:15:30.080 And I think everybody has to understand who the real insurrectionists are. The people taking over

00:15:35.840 the government, who tried to overthrow a president, who tried to block a president's presidential candidacy,

00:15:42.660 we're talking about the Marxist Dems. We're talking about the Marxists in this society who are trying

00:15:49.700 to destroy the family, they're trying to destroy the nation. They're the insurrectionists. And I love it

00:15:56.160 when we start hearing these chattering, I won't say what I was going to say. When we hear these people 1.00

00:16:05.580 on MSNBC and ABC News, wherever it is, chattering about insurrectionists, they're the insurrectionists,

00:16:13.940 they're aiding and abetting what was an attempted overthrow of President Trump, and now an attempt

00:16:20.320 to steal another election. Well, look, you're absolutely

00:16:23.980 correct. And the reason they're on the insurrection

00:16:27.540 slash dictator narrative now, and it's no accident

00:16:31.280 and it's no coincidence that a coordinated strike occurred between

00:16:34.300 the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Atlantic, and every other major outlet you just

00:16:38.320 cited, on the same day they started calling Donald Trump, it's going to be a dictatorship,

00:16:42.880 it's going to be an insurrection. They're saying that because they don't have a policy

00:16:46.460 position to argue that's better than anything Donald Trump has put forward.

00:16:50.320 They don't have something better for the border. They don't have something better for Iran or the 0.94

00:16:53.900 economy or ending the wars or taking out the drug cartels. Donald Trump has the best agenda for it,

00:16:59.600 and they're terrified he's going to come in and execute that agenda. So they resort to rhetoric

00:17:04.120 and name calling. And here's what I ask them all the time. Dictator, is Donald Trump the one that

00:17:10.240 seized the FBI for illegal political purposes and rigged the presidential election? Is Donald Trump the

00:17:15.320 guy that seized the military and stayed in power illegally in January 2020 after the last

00:17:20.220 election cycle? Was it Donald Trump that ordered the military to do his bidding for political

00:17:25.240 advantageous purposes? He didn't come anywhere close to becoming a dictator. They're just terrified

00:17:30.380 that he's going to come in and finish the job of destroying the deep state in the swamp. And that

00:17:36.060 that hurts them more than anything else.

00:17:38.760 We're talking with Kash Patel. We're going to be right back and continue our conversation.

00:17:44.900 And we want to see how does Joe Biden really, really stack up as a dictator?

00:17:52.160 We'd like to examine that more thoroughly. And I know you would as well. Stay with us. We'll be right

00:17:57.220 back.

00:18:03.240 We're back now. We're talking with Kash Patel and Kash, with many credentials and service to the country,

00:18:12.240 is, I think, one of the most knowledgeable people about justice, law, terrorism. The military served

00:18:22.280 as a top official in the DOD for President Trump. I want to ask you, have you ever seen anyone who

00:18:29.200 approaches Joe Biden for authoritarianism? And one example comes to my mind, Kash, and that is the

00:18:35.720 Supreme Court knocking, knocking down the student loan program that he had ballyhooed for so long.

00:18:42.380 And then, despite that, he goes ahead and has put out something on the order, approaching $200

00:18:48.400 billion worth of relief under that program, ignoring altogether, thumbing his nose at the

00:18:54.980 U.S. Supreme Court.

00:18:56.480 Actually, Lou, you know what? I haven't even thought of it like that. And that's probably the best example

00:19:00.740 I've ever heard. The United States Supreme Court issues a ruling that tells Joe Biden his executive

00:19:07.880 order is illegal and cannot cancel that amount of debt at all. So what does he do as president?

00:19:14.880 He comes in and says, I don't care. I'm going to cancel it anyway. That is what a dictator does.

00:19:20.820 That is what happens in communist China and Russia and elsewhere. So you're absolutely right. And it's

00:19:26.240 not just happening with the student loan program. His border policies are an example of a dictatorship

00:19:32.180 for his benefit. He wants tens of millions of illegals here. He wants to give them voter 0.79

00:19:37.400 ID. He wants them to vote in the next election because to him, by giving them all the freebies

00:19:43.280 and allowing them to come here illegally and vote for him is the only way he's got a shot 0.55

00:19:47.460 at winning the election. So now he's breaking the federal laws that secure this nation as president,

00:19:52.960 all for a political purpose. Yet another example of Joe Biden being the dictator and the only people

00:19:58.480 that are suffering really for it are everyday Americans at their homes at night trying to feed

00:20:03.200 their kids.

00:20:04.900 And people are starting to understand that right now in this country under Bidenomics.

00:20:10.140 There are a number of polls that are really interesting, but one I think is very important

00:20:15.180 because my interest, my primary interest, I guess, journalistically is watching what is happening

00:20:21.700 to our middle class working men and women and their families, because I consider that to be the

00:20:27.480 foundation of the American dream where that dream resides and where it's most important to make

00:20:32.640 certain that it's not extinguished. But we have now more people, more people in this country living

00:20:39.280 paycheck to paycheck than we have at any time since the Great Recession. It is deeply troubling and

00:20:47.780 it's getting worse. That many people living paycheck to paycheck and that many people right now

00:20:55.220 on a knife's edge of moving into homelessness, which is, which is, by the way, at the highest levels

00:21:03.040 in over two decades. It's we really got to find a solution here and very quickly.

00:21:10.320 Well, Lou, I think, you know, look, the economy is not my forte, but it certainly is one of your

00:21:16.020 exceedingly exceptional points that you can articulate to the American people with your background.

00:21:21.220 And I look at it this way. Why is it that we are giving $1.2 billion, excuse me, $110 billion to the

00:21:28.920 Ukraine when we have 55,000 homeless veterans, some of which you were just talking about in the

00:21:33.520 United States of America? Why are we doing that when we have so many middle income American families

00:21:38.140 struggling to feed their children? I don't look at it as the big book of numbers because my brain can't

00:21:45.180 compute that. But when I go to the grocery store and I'm paying six bucks for a carton of eggs

00:21:49.760 and I'm paying twice as much for peanut butter and bread, I think of all the other people that

00:21:54.460 use these basic food staples and their jobs haven't increased with this inflation rate.

00:22:00.140 Most of them have lost their jobs. And and we want to reward Joe Biden with another four years

00:22:05.720 that prioritize illegal crime over the protection of our middle class and our veterans.

00:22:11.800 I'm just disgusted by the financial direction of this country. And and I don't know, Lou,

00:22:16.400 you probably know better than me. It might get worse next year. Well, it might. And a lot depends

00:22:22.640 on the choices that are made by the American people over the course of the next year. It will also

00:22:27.980 depend upon the choices made by the Republican Party. If Mike Johnson, the new speaker, continues to

00:22:33.680 to to appease the Biden administration at the at the great cost of the American people, their privacy.

00:22:42.020 And frankly, I think, to the to the foundation of the republic, that is our constitutional rights.

00:22:49.100 I think we're in real trouble. I want to get just very quickly your opinion of Mike Johnson.

00:22:54.700 Look, I've known Mike Speaker Johnson for for a number of years. He was a quiet figure on the hill

00:22:58.980 and he's a faith based man who loved putting America first when I when I was working with him.

00:23:04.600 Unfortunately, I think he's been overtaking by the swamp that he is now risen to be the leader of.

00:23:10.040 And the latest example is the FISA collapse. To me, we've been we've been recommending and advising

00:23:15.040 them on this for about a year and a half. And this total failure on that, along with the economic

00:23:21.000 punting till next year on the on the on the debt limits on the CR stuff, it's just another swamp

00:23:26.320 cave in. And I don't know if he's going to be able to turn it around. I really don't. I like him

00:23:30.400 personally. I'm just I'm just shocked by some of the early decision making.

00:23:34.760 You know, it's amazing to me how, at least initially, how likable all these politicians

00:23:41.500 are. You'd almost get the impression they were practice at being likable.

00:23:49.180 I once said to a fellow, ask him about another. I mean, I really respected his judgment on people.

00:23:58.320 And I said, he's a really nice guy. And he was advising me on some things. And and this

00:24:04.460 friend of mine said, well, you know, he wouldn't be much of a con man if he weren't likable,

00:24:08.400 would he? That is that is stuck with me over the years.

00:24:12.520 Oh, wow. But anyway, to go to one of the most to be difficult issues, and that is

00:24:20.280 to discern whether or not 147 Republicans, how many of them are rhinos? And how many of 0.50

00:24:28.880 them are actually Democrats? And how many of them are just really members of the uniparty?

00:24:34.460 Too many, too many is a problem. And I and I don't care about making any more friends on Capitol

00:24:39.620 Hill anymore. I've probably made more enemies on the Republican side now than I have the

00:24:43.060 Democrats. But we are losing our ability to execute accountability. We have a Republican

00:24:48.860 majority and we're failing in FISA. We have a Republican majority and we're allowing the

00:24:52.780 FBI and DOJ to conduct election rigging campaigns. We have a Republican majority and we're allowing

00:24:57.660 Joe Biden to blow up our border and continue to pour in illegal immigrants who will vote illegally

00:25:04.040 likely in this upcoming election. And we have a Republican majority that allows Hunter Biden

00:25:08.660 to come up to their end zone, spike the football in their home stadium, break the law and violate

00:25:15.960 a congressional subpoena. And what do they do? They break for the holiday recess and go home.

00:25:21.340 Do we not remember what the Democrats did, Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro for breaking or violating

00:25:26.420 congressional subpoena? They prosecuted them. And these guys are still talking about whether or not

00:25:32.340 they're going to investigate Hunter Biden for committing a violation of the law.

00:25:37.860 Well, the great thing is we hear from Lindsey Graham this weekend that the narrative has failed.

00:25:45.060 The impeachment narrative, just ignore that. This man, by the way, is from a different planet

00:25:51.480 and highly unlikable, by the way, a very unlikely politician, I must say.

00:25:56.700 But to look at what he is talking about in the way in which he is just thumbing his nose at the

00:26:04.740 Republican Party and embracing the most corrupt president in America's history is disgusting.

00:26:10.960 I hope that all the folks in South Carolina listening to me will give me some support in this

00:26:18.080 and primary and get rid of that fool. He's certainly an awful, awful representative for the great

00:26:25.500 the great state of South Carolina. We're talking with Kash Patel. We're coming right back.

00:26:31.160 Stay with us.

00:26:37.660 We're back. We're talking with Kash Patel. And Kash, I have to say, Lloyd Austin telling the

00:26:43.980 Israelis now, they've tried a few people, they tried the diplomats, and now they're going to try

00:26:49.040 a singularly undiplomatic fellow by the name of Lloyd Austin, Secretary of Defense,

00:26:54.420 telling the Israelis how they're going to fight their war. Are you as disgusted with that as I am?

00:27:02.400 This Secretary of Defense was a disaster as CENTCOM commanding general. He allowed a hostage

00:27:09.160 operation led by our special forces to be tragically defeated. Now he was installed as the Secretary of

00:27:16.660 Defense. And when he was under Joe Biden, his first action to lead our men and women in armed forces

00:27:22.560 was to issue a concept of operations not to protect the border, not to take out the cartels,

00:27:27.620 not to kill terrorists and end the forever wars. But get this, Lou, on climate change. The Department

00:27:33.360 of Defense's number one priority under Lloyd Austin and Joe Biden has been climate change.

00:27:38.400 Then that changed into diversity, equity and inclusion. And of course, white rage.

00:27:42.520 And I almost say these things and people who aren't paying attention are like, Cash and Lou must be crazy.

00:27:47.640 He's just making stuff up. This guy and Joe Biden actually put together this national command

00:27:53.740 authority plan for the United States of America. So I have no faith in this guy who has caused and been

00:27:59.640 allowed to watch two more world wars occur. He's now going to tell the Israelis how to fight. 0.94

00:28:06.220 He's going to tell them a world war, which we under Joe Biden and Lloyd Austin's leadership missed,

00:28:12.480 fail to see Iran, the world's largest state sponsor of terror, growing and bringing to our doorstep, 1.00

00:28:18.280 essentially. And this man, Lloyd Austin, who refuses to effectuate the successful rescue of

00:28:24.400 American women and children in a war zone being held hostage by our number one enemy in Iran.

00:28:30.740 That guy I have no faith in. And it's tragic, Lou, because I want to cheer for him.

00:28:35.820 This is national security. This is our military. And this is supposed to be our number one line

00:28:40.860 of defense. And he has crushed it. 100 attacks, just under 100 attacks against our troops in Syria

00:28:49.080 and Iraq, no matter what they're doing there, I wish they were out. But under attack by Iran proxy 1.00

00:28:56.340 groups, militias, terrorist organizations, 66 of our troops have been injured, wounded. 19 of them was

00:29:07.960 serious brain trauma. What in the world is going on that we can't provide forced security if we're

00:29:14.900 going to put people into into danger zones. Call them what you will. This is and they just they don't

00:29:24.560 even comment about it. They don't even react to it. We've got ships being attacked by hootie missiles. 0.99

00:29:29.780 I mean, and nothing. It's just another day at the the National Security Council briefing room. I mean,

00:29:38.920 it's just so anger. I get so angry just thinking about their indifference to the well-being of our

00:29:45.820 troops. You're absolutely right. And the men and women on the front lines, those men and women are

00:29:49.860 not to be degraded. They're the best of the best for us. Their leadership is a problem. And the

00:29:55.740 mainstream media, I'll remind your audience, when President Trump, when we took out Qasem Soleimani,

00:30:01.540 the Iranians targeted one of our bases and thankfully no one was injured. One time they did 1.00

00:30:06.500 that. And the media went apoplectic since what is Donald Trump going to do? How dare he start a war,

00:30:11.660 which never happened, of course, and no one was injured or died. And you just laid out 100 attacks

00:30:17.000 against U.S. military installations, causing severe casualty and damage to American personnel. And the

00:30:23.340 mainstream media is giving them a pass because Joe Biden is owned by the radical left and they want

00:30:29.440 to defeat Donald Trump. This is they will. This is how this is how barbaric the radical left is in the

00:30:35.280 media. They will allow the the sacrifice of our men and women in uniform to go unnoticed if it gives them

00:30:44.420 political gain. And Lloyd Austin is leading that charge. And he had Mark Milley on the in his pocket, doing it

00:30:50.600 with him. And now he's just doing it alone with President Joe Biden. And the American people should

00:30:56.640 be an uproar over it. And they're not because they're more focused on what sort of footwear President

00:31:02.740 Trump is wearing rather than what sort of foot to ass our country is being utilized under.

00:31:09.120 Well, President Trump is getting a wondrous thundering reception and rallies all across the country

00:31:16.600 as the season is now well underway, whether it's Nevada, whether it is Iowa, New Hampshire,

00:31:25.860 everyone is responding powerfully to him. If anything, the crowds are bigger than they were in 2016.

00:31:33.240 And, you know, it's interesting that some of these media polls are showing various candidates doing

00:31:39.180 better, including Nikki Haley. She's all the way up to 22 percent in one. I mean, what is this is just

00:31:48.000 blatant, obvious bias on the part of these news organizations and their polling? It's push polling

00:31:55.400 and they're getting what they push for, don't you think? Well, I think you're absolutely right. Look,

00:32:00.440 in my hometown of Las Vegas, Nevada, just this past weekend, Lou, President Trump and only President

00:32:05.780 Trump can walk in with Kid Rock and Dana White to a UFC arena sold out of Americans of all stripes

00:32:11.060 and have an explosion from the crowd. I mean, it is like 10 rock stars walking in one building

00:32:16.900 at the same time. I've never seen anything like it. And that shows you and it showed me that

00:32:22.860 individuals from all walks of life, including the fighters themselves in the cage, who publicly

00:32:28.880 stated their support for President Trump as the only candidate that can win in 2024. To me,

00:32:34.600 that tells me everything I need to know about how President Trump has been successful putting out

00:32:38.980 his Agenda 47 throughout America, in Nevada, in Arizona and Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, everywhere else

00:32:45.160 he's been. And I think America is starting to listen. And the reason we know it to be true is

00:32:50.760 because the radical left wing media has turned the page on the narrative. They are now not just

00:32:55.820 personally attacking everyone in Trump world. They are creating the dictator narrative that we talked

00:33:00.420 about earlier, because what are they going to say? Joe Biden, who can't walk from here to there,

00:33:06.120 is going to get us out of war in Iran. Joe Biden, whose son is a felon and a beneficiary of the two

00:33:12.440 tier system of justice he created, is going to actually uphold the Constitution when it comes to

00:33:18.640 the border in January 6th defendants. Now, people see the two tier system of justice and Donald Trump

00:33:24.280 is a machine. But what I have in terms of advice to the audience, forget the polls for now, forget

00:33:31.040 Nikki Haley and all those people. We have to work twice as hard for President Trump if we want him

00:33:36.360 to win in 2024. He may be up a lot in the polls now, but we got to keep going twice as hard because

00:33:42.160 they're going to come at us with more and more disinformation campaigns.

00:33:45.340 That's absolutely true. Sound advice. And also, wherever you are and whatever you if you've got

00:33:52.940 time and if you've got the ability, you know, get involved with your city council, get involved with

00:33:59.180 the election office in your in your town, your county and your state. Be involved and be there

00:34:08.600 because we're going to need a lot of eyes on in November to make sure this thing goes right.

00:34:15.900 And I and I hope, by the way, last question, is the president going to get rid of Ronna McDaniel,

00:34:22.060 please? You know, Lou, I'm not the political wizard. I'm the national security guy, but I've seen the

00:34:29.120 public respond to Ronna McDaniel. And it's been what, three elections now that we've come up short on,

00:34:37.240 essentially. And the RNC is raising hundreds of millions of dollars and spending almost none of

00:34:43.720 it across the country on election integrity and matters that are important to the Republican

00:34:48.320 movement that Donald Trump has created. And I think it's it's long overdue for new leadership.

00:34:52.800 I just don't know how you effectuate that change. The RNC, to me, is just an extension of the

00:34:58.140 Washington, D.C. swamp. The Rhino Uniparty establishment owns a majority of it and they will 1.00

00:35:03.480 continue on their way. And I bet you there's some of them over there in leadership that wishes

00:35:07.880 Nikki Haley would become the nominee so they don't have to deal with Donald Trump because it resents him

00:35:13.200 so much. No, no doubt about it, Cash. I mean, she's their next the establishment's next great hope.

00:35:21.520 And by the way, just like DeSantis before her and the list goes on. Cash, always great talking with

00:35:30.440 you. We appreciate it. And yes, you are a wizard, not just of national security, but anything you turn

00:35:36.040 your mind and eye to. We appreciate it.
