The Great America Show with Lou Dobbs. The immigration bill is dead on arrival. Chris Sununu is in denial about Nikki Haley being the 2020 Democratic Nominee for President. And more!
00:03:57.060Vance was asked about the powers of the Supreme Court and how they relate to the Constitution.
00:04:02.640Take a listen to Senator Vance giving George a history and governance lesson just before the producers could cut off the senator's microphone.
00:04:11.060In 2019, Donald Trump, having defeated ISIS, said that we should redeploy our troops in Syria and Jordan out of the region.
00:04:19.480You had multiple members of the Defense Department bureaucracy who fought on that.
00:04:23.320So what happened? We have people who are sitting ducks in the Levant right now, three of whom just got killed because the bureaucrats aren't listening to the political branches.
00:04:33.280That's a fundamental component of our government, George, that whoever is in charge, agree or disagree with them, you have to follow the rules.
00:04:40.520If those people aren't following the rules, then, of course, you've got to fire them.
00:04:44.140And, of course, the president has to be able to run the government as he thinks he should.
00:04:47.860That's the way the Constitution works. It has been thwarted too much by the way our bureaucracy has worked over the past 15 years.
00:04:54.580The Constitution also says the president must abide by legitimate Supreme Court rulings, doesn't it?
00:04:58.960The Constitution says that the Supreme Court can make rulings, but if the Supreme Court and look, I hope that they would not do this.
00:05:08.580But if the Supreme Court said the president of the United States can't fire a general, that would be an illegitimate ruling.
00:05:14.880And the president has to have Article two prerogative under the Constitution to actually run the military as he sees fit.
00:05:21.840This is just basic constitutional legitimacy.
00:05:24.380You're talking about a hypothetical where the Supreme Court tries to run the military.
00:05:29.200I don't think that's going to happen, George.
00:05:30.800But, of course, if it did, the president would have to respond to it.
00:05:33.820There are multiple examples throughout American history of the president doing just that.
00:05:37.620You didn't say military in your answer, and you've made it very clear.
00:05:40.580You believe the president can defy the Supreme Court.
00:05:42.720Senator, thanks for your time this morning.
00:08:07.700And we're going to get the caucus going.
00:08:09.920But, Lou, you might be able to appreciate this more than anyone.
00:08:13.080This state is led by a corrupt bunch of establishment rhinos who have allowed for a Nevada primary to exist two days before the Nevada caucus.
00:08:22.140And do you know who's on the Nevada primary ballot and who isn't?
00:08:29.120And we have had a caucus out here for 40 years that delivers delegates only via caucus.
00:08:35.360And on February 8th, we're going to get the masses out for Donald Trump.
00:08:39.080But here's what's going to happen in the media.
00:08:40.720CNN's going to print, oh, Nikki Haley wins Nevada when it's completely meaningless and an election-rate con job.
00:08:46.780So I'm here working against that and working to ensure President Trump does extremely well out here in Nevada on caucus day.
00:08:54.740On caucus day, but the primary is first.
00:08:58.620How did we end up with a situation where he's not on the ballot?
00:09:02.900It threw these political legal gymnastics that I don't even understand and could all be eliminated if the statewide leadership here just said, we're not doing a primary anymore.
00:09:35.280It sounds like everybody out there is deaf and dumb.
00:09:38.960I mean, especially running the Republican Party out there, I don't mean to cast aspersions, but is there any possibility that they have failed an IQ test or are on the take?
00:09:51.100Which of the two would you say is more?
00:09:52.860Well, I think it all ties back to the rhino establishment class, greater bureaucracy that is the Republican behemoth.
00:10:12.620We haven't had much help from the greater RNC network because, you know, they were just out here using our great city of Las Vegas for their winter wonderland.
00:10:22.160Well, they must have enjoyed the party while they were there.
00:10:26.640And I don't want to see the bill because looking at the other bills, I don't know how much Botox is left in Las Vegas, but it could have been consumed in one meeting.
00:10:55.540Look, I'm a fundamental economics guy when it comes to, hey, let's go raise money for good causes.
00:11:04.040Maybe the people that take this money and should spend it for good causes.
00:11:07.180I'm wholly against an organization that is supposed to represent our conservative values and raises millions of dollars and then go spend $360,000 on flowers in one year or $1.6 million on private jets.
00:11:19.340And, Lou, you know what ticked them off the most?
00:11:22.080It's that they were exposed for this corruption.
00:11:24.740And when you look at the DNC, not that we're ever going to pat the DNC on the back for anything, but did you see the comparisons?
00:11:31.840They spent like $5,000 on private jets and like $400 on flowers.
00:11:35.600They put money back out, not in winter wonderland bonanzas in Las Vegas, but they put it out to the candidates that need it at the state level.
00:11:45.320I wonder if there are the same election rules that apply to the RNC as do candidates, because what I'm thinking is all those big donors for the Democratic Party are running in all that big iron to pick up Ronna and her, you know, her makeup crew to get on to the next thing and not having to account for it.
00:12:07.060Is it a different rule for the RNC than, say, the candidates or the PACs?
00:12:13.000I think the RNC qualifies as almost like a 501c3, right?
00:12:18.840And so they get to come in there and, yeah, they have to disclose how they distribute money.
00:12:27.740But the thing is, no one until the state of Nevada local GOP representatives called them out on their fiscal irresponsibility.
00:12:34.540We actually put forth a motion, a resolution, as the RNC calls it, for fiscal responsibility.
00:12:40.940Do you know what happened in the winter meeting, Lou?
00:12:42.580It didn't even make it out of committee.
00:12:45.300That's how many people at the RNC are on the take, as you said earlier.
00:12:52.860All these consultants and all these fees and everybody's getting paid from everybody else.
00:12:57.100And nobody cares about putting the mission first.
00:12:59.420You know, I can't believe there aren't enough big dogs in the Republican Party to make certain that we're not spending all that money on so-called consultants.
00:13:07.320And it's not like we've never had an election before and had to campaign.
00:13:12.380I would think that there would be someone who would have institutional knowledge, I'll put it that way, about how to run a campaign.
00:13:20.020But then again, I reflect on the people that are the leadership of the RNC.
00:13:24.740And I slap myself for having even the thought that they would be institutional knowledge and true leadership.
00:13:31.800We're talking with Kash Patel, great American, advisor to President Trump, as I said, an amazing fellow.
00:13:40.120And we're going to take up next the enemy, the Marxists, and all who work with him.
00:13:47.160And let me tell you, that's a big, big number.
00:14:31.880And Kash, I know you're on the streets right now, flying cross-country, doing everything you can for the president's campaign.
00:14:39.940And at the same time, we have idiots in the Republican Party, like James Lankford, a boy genius, minister to the world, among other things,
00:14:52.320who is so absolutely limited in his IQ that he has no idea that he is both a fool and a tool of Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer.
00:15:04.180And he's out spewing utter, bizarre nonsense, talking about the border bill.
00:15:10.940And he has the temerity to suggest that there is anything in it that is positive.
00:15:28.500I was so happy to hear the speaker say that.
00:15:31.980And that just shows you that we have, through great programs like yours, influenced the MAGA America First movement to stand up and be heard.
00:15:40.400Now, the Senate, it's going to take a little more time.
00:15:42.540But you do have great senators like Mike Lee pounding down the door, standing up for this, this standing against this bill.
00:15:50.400And here's the one singular point I'd like to make to your audience.
00:15:53.500The entire Marine Corps budget for all of 2023, the U.S. Marine Corps, 53 billion.
00:15:59.460They, in this one single pen stroke in the Senate, wanted to give Ukraine 60 billion, 60 billion in one pen stroke.
00:16:08.240So they care more about the Ukraine than they do about the United States men and women who put on our uniform and defend us overseas.
00:16:25.920The turtle is an ignorant of sitting out there blathering away, saying he'll do exactly what he's told because he is so compromised that he has no volition in anything.
00:16:41.460Why can't the Republicans in the Senate get a new leader and get rid of this this pathetic excuse for a leader?
00:16:51.620It's going to take a break from, I think, one of the most corrupt partnerships in Washington, D.C., the defense industrial complex and all the politicians, not all, most of the politicians on Capitol Hill.
00:17:04.680Now, as the former chief of staff of D.O.D., I'm I'm telling you the D.O.D. and defense industrial complex is amazing work.
00:17:10.860But I'm also telling you the reason that everyone's cheering on.
00:19:12.120I think, like you said, President Trump just said in an interview, you know, maybe it's time for new leadership.
00:19:16.440You know, that's a step in the right direction, and it's going to take, you know, someone like a President Trump to even get people to pay attention to the corruption, fiscal corruption going on over there.
00:19:30.560And people are talking about, oh, you know, remember, the House and the Senate are on the ballot in November 2.
00:19:37.240If we don't win those for President Trump, we're going to hamstring him with a Congress that's run by radical left-wing Democrats.
00:19:44.440And so we've got to get our candidates out there, and that's what the Republican National Committee is supposed to be doing.
00:19:57.240One, John Barrasso of Wyoming, U.S. Senator, part of leadership, is now America first.
00:20:04.820First, an amazing transformation, and I am thrilled because, personally, I think he's a very decent fellow.
00:20:12.120Politically, I think he's screwed up and under the influence of the wrong people, but it looks like he's breaking away.
00:20:17.840Mike Lee is a man you would not recognize from the rhetoric and what he is saying right now and the stands he's taking with Mike Lee of 24 months ago.
00:20:26.700There is movement, and I really want to compliment Mike Lee because he really has stood up on this border all the way.
00:20:53.780And that's why these Senate races, I remind people, out here in Nevada, next door in Arizona, up there in Michigan, over in Montana, out in Pennsylvania, Ohio, all of these are places where we, the Republican America first movement, can pick up some serious patriotic warriors who are going to go to Washington and do what the Mike Lees and Barrasso's of the world are doing right now.
00:21:15.760And we need more of that in the Senate and the House.
00:21:18.060So I'm campaigning for some of these folks, and I'll help anyone out there that is going to advance the agenda you have just outlined.
00:21:59.020We're back now with Cash Patel, and thanks for staying with us.
00:22:07.020I want to turn, Cash, to what we were talking about.
00:22:10.600This campaign, this election, I don't see the energy.
00:22:14.440I don't see the energy at the president's rallies, but I don't see the energy in the party or our many communities.
00:22:22.500When we talk about staving off big tech, the dark money, I mean, they've been in the field for over the years.
00:22:29.020It's been over a year now, and Republicans are saying, oh, really, I'm going to be working on this street and this precinct, if they're saying even that.
00:22:35.800And Mike Johnson said something that irritated me, and I understand why he said it.
00:22:41.100He said he's calling the shots in the House, not President Trump.
00:22:44.620President Trump needs to be calling these shots now, and Mr. Johnson and the rest of the Republicans, including McConnell and all of the others, if they can't be replaced, need to line up with him.
00:23:09.700They're getting their cues from President Donald Trump because he is so monumentally popular with not just the America First movement, but with moderates and even some Democrats.
00:23:20.600I mean, these sweeping victories in Iowa and New Hampshire are forcing people in Washington circles to listen.
00:23:27.300And look, if they want to hijack those ideas and say that they're their own, I don't care.
00:23:31.720As long as they take the ideas and seal the border and take on Iran and shut down the CCP and provide for our military and law enforcement and things like that.
00:23:39.420You know, to me, it's less about who gets the credit.
00:23:41.340And I think, you know, maybe President Trump is out there leading the charge in the only way he can.
00:23:47.720And now at least people are starting to listen.
00:24:05.400It's going to be it's it's going to be a fight and a half.
00:24:08.560Either that it'll be a surrender and a half.
00:24:11.480Depending on which way the wind is blowing, I guess, for some people.
00:24:14.320I don't know that there's ever been a time in my career that I have seen such wide open, just bare knuckles, raw corruption and self-interest by special interest right before the American people.
00:24:33.360This border bill, so-called, which is gives up what is 116 billion to Ukraine and they call it a border bill that gets only 20.
00:24:42.880And we doubt that they'll get a tenth of that, frankly.
00:24:45.220I mean, the deceit, the duplicity, the ignorance, the just banality and mendaciousness of the Marxists is so overwhelming.
00:24:57.480And then people still want to call them progressives or Democrats or liberals.
00:25:01.920You know, I mean, they're they're just short of sainthood, even in the mouths of their, you know, the Republicans out there who need to defeat them.
00:25:09.860They're Marxist and everybody knows it.
00:25:12.720Why is there this hesitancy to say what Chuck Schumer is, what any one of these fools is, you know, whether it's, you know, even on the, you know, why is there that?
00:25:25.080We have to break through and speak truth to the American people, and that means telling them who we're up against.
00:25:33.740The hesitancy is because of the mainstream media.
00:25:36.540The majority of these folks genuflect at the altar of the mainstream media.
00:25:41.100So they get their headlines and they get their donations and they get their reelection campaigns and they don't care about the substance of the word.
00:25:47.720And this border bill, to me, is another genuflection to Joe Biden.
00:25:51.880We don't need a bill to fix the border.
00:25:53.800We need a commander in chief to rescind the nine Trump era policies or put in place, excuse me, put them back in place that helped us secure the border.
00:26:04.460As the commander in chief, he could do it overnight with the stroke of a pen.
00:26:07.500But he wants us out there waging a war in the media, which we are doing right now, thanks to the Senate, and saying that, oh, here's a border bill.
00:26:15.200And if you don't vote for it, you're going to vote to not secure the border.
00:27:17.880It's the Marxists who surround him, who manage him, that are making these decisions.
00:27:24.660And I don't think anybody should doubt that.
00:27:26.520Why should we keep pretending this man is the commander-in-chief, the CEO of the country?
00:27:32.380He is a little puppet, and the Marxists are his masters.
00:27:36.680Look, the same people that brought us Russiagate, the same people in the Obama administration that brought you the election-rigged con job,
00:27:44.580whether it was Russiagate, whether it was the 51 Intel letter, whether it was the Hunter Biden laptop, whether it was the Joe Biden classified documents investigation or January 6th or any of that,
00:27:54.420you're right, are the ones right now running Biden world at the White House.
00:27:57.860It's not a surprise that Samantha Powers is back in there.
00:28:00.300It's not a surprise that Susan Rice was in there for so long.
00:28:02.620Jake Sullivan from Clinton World and all of these other cretins that are in there intentionally leading our country to war.
00:28:10.320And Joe Biden then, every now and then, this is a scary part when he tries to pretend to be president, when he runs away from the people controlling him for a split second.
00:28:18.960He makes idiotic, imbecilic military decisions with a secretary of defense who's literally asleep in bed, and it costs us American lives.
00:28:27.140And no one in the media is putting enough attention on that.
00:28:30.020The tragedy is that we will be in another two wars because of Joe Biden.
00:28:35.160The defense and country school complex will win, and we will not have secured our border, and more men and women, most importantly, will perish.
00:28:41.140And, you know, it's very straightforward here.
00:28:45.400McConnell in the Senate, Johnson in the House.
00:28:48.620They really need to sit down at Mar-a-Lago, talk with President Trump, and agree to not make a single, single move, a policy decision or a legislative decision that would put any of our military in harm's way until President Trump is elected.
00:29:11.700And at that point, then, because this man is, we can't have him letting three of our reservists get killed in their sleep.
00:29:22.740In Jordan, for crying out loud, people are saying, how did we get troops into Jordan?
00:29:29.000And they're also on a mission from hell because of this sick, sick, mentally impaired, cognitively impaired, and utterly corrupt president.
00:29:48.320Look, Lou, I'm so glad that your show exists and it's out there putting out the truth.
00:29:54.020It's because people don't know how disgusting the swamp is, how corrupt the swamp is, and how the institutions that spawn out of the swamp are just as corrupt, and if not more so.
00:30:04.140And they're the ones responsible for these atrocious bills that do nothing, these headline grabs in the fake news media, and you're exposing them one by one by one by one.
00:30:13.420And there just aren't enough courageous folks, so I'm appreciative of that.
00:30:17.000And I really appreciate you letting me talk about Nevada.
00:30:19.860And just one quick last shout-out to my Silver Staters.
00:30:22.020It's Feb 8, Feb 8, Feb 8, Caucus, Caucus, Caucus, Donald J. Trump, Donald J. Trump.
