Transcript

00:00:00.000 Hello, everybody. I'm Lou Dobbs, and welcome to The Great America Show.
00:00:04.660 Great to have you with us. We're going to be talking about the Marxist left's assault on
00:00:09.060 this nation, their hatred for all that is America, while the Republican Party has until just recently
00:00:16.200 been acting like it was a Rotary Club luncheon event. No, this is life and death for America.
00:00:23.580 Marxist Dems run the Democratic Party and to one end, to destroy Americans and America.
00:00:31.420 Just look at their policies, stripping our southern border down to an imaginary line,
00:00:37.240 turning both sides of that line over to the Mexican drug cartels, who ship drugs and death to America,
00:00:44.180 killing hundreds of thousands of our fellow Americans, sex trafficking, illegal alien smuggling,
00:00:50.360 and then there is our own government with unproved vaccines for the population that not only didn't
00:00:57.620 prevent COVID, but in many cases weakened immunity for those with the vaccine. Those Marxist Dems who
00:01:04.680 shut down our schools, creating lasting development harm to our children, and just look at the murderous
00:01:11.100 crime wave raging through our big cities led by Democrat mayors, and on and on it goes.
00:01:18.020 Today we take up the current White House crisis, the Biden classified document scandal
00:01:23.440 that worsens by the day and gets crazier by the day. Our guest is the author of the plot to overthrow
00:01:30.420 the president and journalist Lee Smith. It's very likely that neither you or I were invited to Davos for
00:01:38.260 the World Economic Forum, so I'll give you all a little quick update. Republicans pulled out of
00:01:44.620 Davos, given that it's not cool now to be a globalist elite if you're in the Republican Party.
00:01:50.160 That's for the Paul Ryan Mitt Romney wing, who love the left but play on the right. They're otherwise known as
00:01:56.960 rhinos. And Davos, by the way, is a nice little village and ski resort in the Swiss Alps, where politicians,
00:02:04.700 academics, government types, and political leaders, along with business executives and CEOs from all over the world,
00:02:11.840 fly in to, as much as anything, network and be seen. Davos is the ideological birthplace of such
00:02:20.160 banal phrases as the Great Reset and the Fourth Industrial Revolution. And here's my favorite,
00:02:28.520 polycrisis. Those are just some of the humdingers that line the Blather Hall of Fame walls.
00:02:34.440 And speaking of Blather and Davos, here's the head man himself, Klaus Schwab, opening the forum today,
00:02:41.560 talking in his usual modest, Teutonic tones about, quote, mastering the future, end quote. Here he is.
00:02:51.300 Welcome to the annual meeting 2023. What does it need to master the future? To have a platform
00:03:00.620 where all stakeholders of global society are engaged. Governments, business, civil societies,
00:03:08.800 I could go on to construct and to shape the future. There you have it. Mastering the future.
00:03:16.260 Mastering the universe. Masters of the universe. A modest goal for Herr Klaus, huh? That's not exactly
00:03:23.700 the way we lowly Americans think of things, is it? And certainly, Herr Klaus, we are, or we Americans
00:03:30.800 once were, a fairly modest bunch. We get it, Klaus. You want to dominate the world. But you need us poor,
00:03:38.660 gun-toting, God-fearing, hardworking, and fairly ingenious Americans to help you do that. And so far,
00:03:45.280 you've had a lot of luck from corporate America, U.S. multinationals, and the Marxist Dems and
00:03:51.220 rhino neocons who love to mind other people's business. Whether it's here in America trying
00:03:57.900 to strip us of our First and Second Amendments, or for a good war, those rhino neocons and Marxist
00:04:05.020 left war hawks will send our troops to some hellhole halfway around the world. They've been very helpful,
00:04:11.940 haven't they? And you Euros seem to be working hard to convince our elites now to push for more
00:04:17.720 leftist policies to take away our guns and, oh yes, curtail free speech, that nasty free speech.
00:04:24.840 Gotta be honest here, Klaus, I don't like your ideas. I don't like them at all. And most Americans,
00:04:30.900 I'm sure, don't like them at all. And would much prefer our so-called elites just stay home.
00:04:36.760 Maybe have those same elites tell us what they're doing for America and for Americans. Because,
00:04:42.640 Klaus, it just isn't as much as it needs to be. And what those elites are doing to us is a lot more
00:04:50.100 than what they're doing for us. And the American people and our lovely so-called elites need to
00:04:56.320 wake up to what the Marxist Dems in the deep state are doing to our country. We Americans are going to
00:05:02.900 be a little busy cleaning up the mess that they've made with the help of some rhinos.
00:05:07.360 The Biden White House is in DEFCON 5 these days. Biden's outrageous classified document scandal
00:05:15.520 is just inexplicable. But the actions of the Department of Justice have been absolutely
00:05:21.160 sorted. Highly suspicious timelines. They look phony as hell. The document discovery leaked to CBS News.
00:05:30.380 Stupid excuses coming from the White House and the Justice Department. And, oh yes,
00:05:35.500 no FBI raids on the president's Wilmington residence or the communist Chinese-funded Biden think tank,
00:05:44.220 the Penn Biden Center, where the first documents supposedly were, quote-unquote,
00:05:49.040 discovered. And now the Justice Department has given Biden's personal attorneys a free pass to go look
00:05:56.680 for more classified documents and to examine those discovered, quote-unquote, as far back as the 2nd of
00:06:04.520 November, just before the election. To take up all of that and more, we're joined now by Lee Smith.
00:06:11.740 Great to have you with us here on The Great America Show, Lee. This Biden scandal, it gets worse by the day,
00:06:18.060 doesn't it? Yeah, it's pretty outrageous, but I think it's useful to understand who these lawyers are.
00:06:25.240 We know that Biden has retained former Obama general counsel, Bob Bauer. And so that, I think,
00:06:36.120 is an indication of how seriously worried they are. But there's another lawyer in there that I think is
00:06:42.980 very, very important. And that lawyer is a woman named Dana Remus, who was Biden's general counsel,
00:06:49.380 who appears to have left the White House in January. She went over, she started at Covington and Burling
00:06:56.100 in October. I believe it was October, early October, maybe the 2nd, maybe the 4th. And then it was
00:07:04.320 November, early November, when they say they first found the documents at the Penn Biden Center. Well,
00:07:12.540 there's something fishy about that timeline right there, that Biden's former general counsel was
00:07:22.160 part of the team that found his documents at the Penn Biden Center. I don't think this was just a
00:07:29.220 matter of high-priced lawyers sorting through Biden's belongings at an office he apparently didn't
00:07:36.680 use all that much. I think they had a pretty good indication by the time that she came on board,
00:07:42.360 and she started representing Biden in October as private counsel, not as White House general
00:07:49.500 counsel, but that there was something going on. So I think it was well before early November when
00:07:56.900 they knew that there was something amiss with the documents. There's a lot of speculation going on
00:08:02.760 about the timing, some suggesting that even that they knew about this months before, in fact, before
00:08:09.460 the Mar-a-Lago raid on the president's office and SCIF and the Secret Service who protect him and his
00:08:18.940 documents. It's really a stunning stop to think that there's the possibility that they held those
00:08:27.840 documents until after the November 8 election. Don't you think that's amazing?
00:08:32.520 I think it is amazing. Of course, though, for these people, it's not that surprising they would do
00:08:41.000 something like that. It tells you, sadly, where we are right now governed by an astonishingly corrupt
00:08:52.900 White House. That's what's mind-blowing. In that context, the fact that they would hold notification
00:09:01.740 until after the election, that doesn't surprise me all that much.
00:09:06.620 Does it surprise you they leaked it to CBS News? It's interesting. As I watch these articles across
00:09:13.080 various outlets, websites, newscasts, I haven't found one that's pointing out that was a leak
00:09:21.360 to CBS News. That wasn't intrepid reporting. It was a leak to CBS News. They don't identify the
00:09:28.100 reporter. I have my own speculation about who that reporter might have been. But this is a very
00:09:35.300 carefully reported story on the part of the corporate media. That is not an accident either.
00:09:41.380 I totally agree. I mean, I think the first story came out with CBS. My understanding is that lead
00:09:47.760 byline was one of their Chicago bureau reporters. And that's noteworthy because the first U.S. attorney
00:09:58.180 that was to look into this, Lausch, is out of Chicago. So we have now a pretty good sense, I think,
00:10:07.380 of how this came about. I think there's one very important detail here, though, that this plays into
00:10:14.020 what you were saying about the corporate media. CNN published a story sometime last week about how
00:10:20.180 these documents might have found their way to different Biden residences and offices. And that
00:10:26.300 was, oh, they were packing so hurriedly as Biden was leaving the office of the vice president in
00:10:32.400 January 2017. So essentially, it was an honest mistake. Look, there's another possibility as well.
00:10:38.720 Those documents might have been removed after Biden left office. If we look at the fact that
00:10:47.500 Penn Biden Center did not open till 2018. So look, it's possible that they were moved from one Biden
00:10:55.920 residence to Penn Biden Center. But there's another possibility, too, that those documents were removed
00:11:02.040 from the National Archives after Biden left office. I think that's something I think that's something that
00:11:08.200 that we need to look into. Well, I think we need to look into the National Archives without any
00:11:13.720 question whatsoever and understand what is happening. The sleepy librarians are starting to look like
00:11:20.320 an arm of Antifa. They are absolutely ideological. They're involved in calling up the FBI to sick on a
00:11:30.480 former president. This is this is this is pretty brave stuff and also well beyond. I think we could
00:11:36.800 say their their purview, their portfolio. Your thoughts? No, I think you're absolutely right. It's an
00:11:44.300 indication of what of what our bureaucracy looks like. Look, we knew about the FBI. We had indications of
00:11:52.460 the CDC, NIH, FDA with the COVID stuff. And now we're seeing that even the National Archives, as you
00:11:59.760 say, Lou, that these people are that doctrinaire. They're that driven by a progressive agenda as well,
00:12:06.720 that they're not only protecting Joe Biden, but that they're zeroing in on Donald Trump. Right. It tells
00:12:14.180 you what Washington, D.C. is like and what our federal bureaucracy is like. Disgusting and corrupt.
00:12:20.780 Returning to your earlier remark, when you were talking about these, those documents might have
00:12:27.340 come from the archives. Are you suggesting they were planted? No, I'm suggesting that I'm suggesting
00:12:33.920 that that Biden most likely had someone else remove them. And I think I think that possibly it looked
00:12:45.560 a theory. There are other people who I know who are entertaining this theory. But I think once we
00:12:52.280 look at that theory, we might get a sense of what these documents are about. Right. We've seen, oh,
00:12:58.500 yeah, Ukraine, Iran and the UK. Right. I think someone's been reporting that. Why the UK? That makes
00:13:07.260 no sense. Look, the big issue for the big issue for Joe Biden since January 2018, when he opened his
00:13:14.660 mouth at the Council on Foreign Relations about he said publicly that he used a one billion dollar
00:13:21.360 loan guarantee as a quid pro quo to get the government of Ukraine to fire the prosecutor
00:13:27.660 investigating the company, paying his son more than fifty thousand dollars a month.
00:13:32.940 I think, look, there's lots of reasons for Joe Biden and Team Biden to want to to want to check
00:13:41.140 what the documentation looks like about Ukraine and about China. I imagine that that's what those
00:13:48.220 documents are about. Interesting. And there's so much swirling around here. Let's examine first
00:13:57.960 the UK. The UK, of course, was where where Gina Haspel, the director of the CIA, then station chief
00:14:07.700 was operating. And and there has been only closeted speculation about what her involvement in the
00:14:17.680 Steele dossier was or could have been. We when we talk about Iran, we have obviously a tremendous
00:14:25.920 interest on the part of the Obama Biden administration in that relationship. The
00:14:32.460 delicious keeps going on and on. And we know that the CIA, certainly their entire almost it is so
00:14:42.740 reported their entire executive staff was ready to walk out with Gina Haspel. If indeed, President
00:14:50.020 Trump fired her, there's a lot happening in our intelligence agencies that needs to be understood.
00:14:56.960 And of course, it is impossible for the oversight committees and Congress, whether they're the gang
00:15:02.420 of eight or whatever gang they want to posit to understand what they don't know.
00:15:09.560 Lou, I just want to go back to one thing you said about how the whole CIA threatened to work or large
00:15:15.780 parts of the, you know, senior levels of the CIA threatened to walk out if Donald Trump had fired
00:15:22.880 Gina Haspel. I heard that and I'm like that that now that's a missed opportunity. That's that's that's
00:15:29.280 all it would have taken to clean out people who have been swindling the American public for decades,
00:15:35.720 just fired Gina Haspel. Wow. What a gimme. I don't know how accurate that that story really was.
00:15:42.740 I guess it was relayed by the former Vice President Mike Pence's spokesman and Cash Patel
00:15:48.960 contested large parts of that story. But if that part was true, wow, I'd say we'd sure like that one
00:15:56.280 back. Well, Lee, particularly because he had to watch over that that den of of snakes as best he could
00:16:06.480 to to to neutralize their their evil intents and acts against the president. So, as you say, a gimme.
00:16:16.700 It would have been a wonderful moment in history to see those all of those people file out and say,
00:16:22.740 here, we want real Americans with real values and a respect for the Constitution of the Republic
00:16:28.960 to take over. That would have been a wonderful moment, as you say. The moment, unfortunately,
00:16:34.660 did not happen. What happened instead, of course, is that here we are in 2023, still speculating about
00:16:42.500 the depth and the reach of the deep state, the Marxist Dems, the totalitarian impulses that are
00:16:49.560 throbbing throughout our entire executive branch. I can't think of a single department. Perhaps there is
00:16:57.540 an agency that isn't politically corrupt. Lou, I'm always upbeat and I'm especially upbeat
00:17:05.560 whenever I get a chance to speak with you because I always have such a great time.
00:17:09.840 And, you know, and I am upbeat. But I mean, again, to come back to the levels of corruption
00:17:15.700 we've seen under the Biden administration, I think we have to go back now. And this is one of the things
00:17:21.260 that is it's hard for us as Americans to do. But I think we have to do it. We have to go back and
00:17:25.880 we have to reassess the different things that we've seen, reassess the different things that
00:17:30.820 we understand about our country. And we have to find the real, the real roots, the real core of
00:17:39.280 what it means to be an American and what it means to love this country. We do. I mean, we love this
00:17:45.460 country. But I think it's time for all of us to really reconnect to that because you look and you
00:17:50.660 see all of these different things unfolding before us. And it's not it's going to be harder for some
00:17:57.620 people to continue to keep their faith in this country. So, again, I we need to dig deep right
00:18:03.980 now. Well, I guess that depends on the individual. I'm not a I'm not a fellow who hopes I pray. I'm not
00:18:14.480 a fellow who has to be encouraged personally to try to look at things as they are, not as others will
00:18:22.900 tell us they are or what I would want it to be. We have to, in my judgment, Lee, be realistic and
00:18:31.500 and comprehending at this moment, maintain a healthy critical judgment and skepticism about anything our
00:18:39.040 government does. I think that, by the way, should be the order of the day for every American at any
00:18:43.780 point in our entire history. It always has been. But, you know, over the course of the last 40 or 50
00:18:49.940 years, we've become a nation of dependency. We are dependent on a village. So said Hillary Clinton.
00:18:56.980 Obama tells us we have to be fundamentally transformed. And this president tells us he's
00:19:03.100 going to do whatever the hell he wants, because he is, after all, an impaired puppet president. And he
00:19:09.260 can just chalk it up to being, well, let's put it this way, less than less than he appears. It turns
00:19:17.540 out that Americans have taken him at his word and are calling him the president. They think of him as
00:19:23.580 the president. They think this government is a government. This is a this is an armed assault on
00:19:31.160 America by the federal bureaucracy, the deep state and the Marxist Dems who drive both this president
00:19:38.440 and the Democrat Party. It is no more complicated than that. And once people come to terms with that,
00:19:44.480 they understand what is happening in this country. This is not about optimism. This isn't about
00:19:50.660 being a Pollyanna. This isn't about being a cynic or a skeptic or whatever. This is just taking life as it
00:19:58.960 is. And right now they have their hands around our throats and they are going to they're not there to
00:20:07.840 adjust our our our collars either. This is this is a mortal assault on the part of the left against
00:20:15.760 America and all she stands for. Yeah, I absolutely agree. And we have it's very hard for lots of people.
00:20:24.160 There are lots of people who are still, I guess, in what would be called the bargaining stage.
00:20:29.720 But there is nothing about this that's normal. I was speaking with a friend this morning who put
00:20:35.300 it in terms of foreign policy. When this when the United States, when policymakers left and
00:20:42.620 unfortunately right as well, have dealt with totalitarian regimes, whether we're talking about
00:20:47.560 China, whether we're talking about Iran, they'll rationalize it. They'll say, well, OK,
00:20:52.760 so the Iranians, they they they're they're nuts and they they do all these bad things. But
00:20:58.500 fundamentally, they're rational, aren't they? And that's that's how these people explain to
00:21:03.820 themselves what's going on. And it's absolutely false. And we have lots of people who are doing
00:21:08.780 the same thing right now with the United States government. This is not normal. These are not
00:21:14.760 rational people. These are these are very, as as Donald Trump put it, I think, very well, damaged and
00:21:22.700 sick people. We're looking we're looking at a government at the head of it is an avatar representing
00:21:30.280 a network of very sick and very dark interests. Right. There's nothing about this.
00:21:37.920 Yeah, they are sick in the sense that the the entire federal government and I mean, every department,
00:21:45.740 as I said, is under this under the influence, if not the outright control of a dark and malignant
00:21:54.080 force, which is the Marxist Dems in charge of both this president and in charge of this government
00:22:03.200 and the Democrat Party. And we have to come to terms with it, because otherwise people are going
00:22:08.680 to be walking into courtrooms expecting they're not to be an Obama judge. They're not to be a Biden
00:22:13.820 judge. They're not to be a Trump judge or a Clinton judge or a Bush judge. They're all politically
00:22:22.220 they're victims of their ideology and their philosophies, no matter how they strain to be
00:22:29.180 impartial. And we've got to understand that. It isn't that we condemn them, but we have to be
00:22:34.540 aware of it. And where it is a problem, where it is an issue against the idea of truth, justice and
00:22:40.840 the American way, we have to fight it like hell. The only way for us to fight this, as you say,
00:22:47.920 is for us to understand precisely what it is. Of course, neither of us are counseling, advising our
00:22:56.500 friends and colleagues and neighbors and families and great fellow Americans to go out and do
00:23:02.680 something nuts. Quite the opposite. It's to understand what we're up against here, because
00:23:08.740 that's the only way through it. We're not thinking about ourselves. I'm sorry, but think about what you
00:23:14.980 said. There is now such a suppression of the American spirit, our freedom of speech, our liberty as
00:23:23.280 American citizens, that you felt it was important to say, we're not counseling violence or irrationality.
00:23:30.240 You know, what we are counseling is fighting it with every fiber of your being and every cell
00:23:36.800 in your gray matter, because this is not a time to shriek back. And by the way, we don't start from
00:23:43.760 a standpoint of being, you know, some sort of crazy activist. We're not talking about that,
00:23:50.320 as Lee says, but we are talking about being an activist. We are talking about him being engaged.
00:23:56.600 We've got millions of Americans walking around this country right now, and they look like they are
00:24:02.460 just sick to their stomachs. Others look like they simply are lost and confused or completely,
00:24:09.420 utterly indifferent and apathetic. In any case, any part of that category, if you feel you or
00:24:15.440 a loved one fits in that category, wrap your arms around them and let's start talking truth to one
00:24:21.400 another. Yeah. These Democrats mean to destroy everything we see as the United States of America.
00:24:28.920 I think coming out of the, I mean, you know, my wife and I talk about this probably too much,
00:24:35.720 but looking at what happened during the, I mean, we're not entirely out of the COVID era, as we know.
00:24:42.220 I mean, the Biden administration still wants people masked on airplanes.
00:24:46.560 Well, we don't, wait, wait, I mean, I, may I say, yeah, we don't know that. We're told that.
00:24:52.200 Yeah. We're told that like all of the other crap we were told in the last three years by our federal
00:24:56.940 government, which turned out to be entirely right. It might just be another part of their
00:25:03.540 psychological operations targeting the American people. You're right.
00:25:07.260 So, but no, no, that's a very good point. Thanks. No. All I was going to say is that
00:25:14.520 if you look at what happened during the core of that period, the amount of venom and anger and hatred
00:25:23.000 coming from the left, coming from the establishment, just at regular Americans,
00:25:28.820 wear a mask, get a vaccine. If you don't, we're going to take your property. We're going to take
00:25:33.160 your children. We're going to put you in jail. We're going to take your job. It's absolutely insane.
00:25:38.000 And we can't, as Americans, we can't live in that moment forever. That moment of fear, we shouldn't,
00:25:46.740 but we have to remember who we're dealing with and we should never forget what they did, right?
00:25:54.360 Never forget that because if we do, that will be extremely dangerous for us to imagine these people
00:26:01.240 are anything but what they showed us they are. Well, and that's right. And they tell us what
00:26:07.220 they're going to do. So we shouldn't be surprised. They accuse us of being what they are. And that
00:26:14.240 shouldn't surprise any of us. We've had now almost seven years of experience with the Marxist left in
00:26:20.480 this country and what they're doing. Think about the discussion that we have to have. And, you know,
00:26:26.200 poor mom and dad at home with their little kids going, you know, really, are we being bad people?
00:26:31.020 Are we racist? Because there's a CRT thing going around. And, you know, I don't know if Johnny or
00:26:37.140 Jill is a boy or a girl. And I don't know if I really need to know if somebody wants to change
00:26:42.820 their gender in the second grade. I mean, are you kidding me? We are nuts as a nation right now.
00:26:52.160 This is a nation scared to speak, scared to act, and scared to demand our traditional values,
00:26:59.940 our constitutional rights, and by God, the truth. And if you're putting up with that,
00:27:06.460 if anyone on this, on this listing, this podcast is listening, can put yourself in that category,
00:27:12.640 please, for the sake of this country and for all you love, do something about it. Stand up in your,
00:27:20.060 in your school board meeting. I don't give a damn how many FBI agents want to come after you.
00:27:25.340 I, I'm, I'm serious.
00:27:28.460 You're absolutely, you're absolutely right. Look, I mean, you talk about schools,
00:27:32.620 they're, they're, they're going after children. I mean, that's absolutely insane. This is not normal.
00:27:37.540 This is, this is what we're supposed to do as Americans fight off the predators, right? There's
00:27:43.840 nothing normal about this. The establishment, the press, the Biden administration is normalizing it
00:27:49.780 because they're nuts, but this is not normal. You're right. If people, people are not wrong to feel
00:27:56.140 that they're being, that, that they're being targeted by lunatics and they have to stand up
00:28:03.620 and do something. We all have to stand up and do something. We do it together because they're going
00:28:09.260 to keep coming for us. They're going to keep coming for you. They're going to keep coming for
00:28:13.700 your kids. They're going to come for everything.
00:28:16.260 The Biden administration has just opened a civil rights investigation into school bans
00:28:21.680 on books to teach grooming, right? The Biden administration has opened an investigation
00:28:31.480 into a Texas school district for banning sexually explicit books that promote gender theory.
00:28:38.200 Lee, that's this administration. The entire Southern border is wide open. The cartels
00:28:45.740 own the border. We have 50,000 border patrol agents. We have customs agents. We have people at
00:28:54.500 points of entry inspecting, at least saying hello to truck drivers of semis coming across with Lord
00:29:03.020 knows what in those trailers. We are a joke right now as a nation because this president and these
00:29:11.280 Marxist Dems aren't joking, they mean to destroy us. And that everybody has got to get their hands
00:29:19.980 around. Yeah. I mean, I mean, it's very basic what you said. How did the White House
00:29:27.500 join a partnership with Mexican drug and trafficking cartels? It's absolutely nuts,
00:29:37.560 but it comes back to the same thing. None of this is normal. Americans know it's not normal.
00:29:44.980 They have to respond and realize that, respond through the understanding that this is not normal.
00:29:53.460 This is not okay. And you know what you were talking about? You were talking about the DOJ opening up
00:29:58.260 an investigation, you know, about these books. You know, really nice neighbors of mine, they asked me,
00:30:06.380 they came and said, so look, I mean, are we banning books? Are libraries and schools banning books? I'm
00:30:12.180 like, no, no, no one is banning books, right? This is not a book burning. This is not Nazi Germany.
00:30:18.080 Different parents around the country are rightly upset that school teachers and administrators are
00:30:25.200 taking it upon themselves to introduce sexual material to children. That's the issue. No one
00:30:32.400 is banning books. And it's right for school parents to get upset about this. If there are school parents
00:30:37.700 out there, keep on fighting. Don't listen to the way that they're trying to paint this. They're trying
00:30:43.680 to paint you as the bad guys. You're the heroes. Yeah, you know, are the heroes. Keep keep the wolves
00:30:51.540 away from your kids. Keep the predators away from them. What's really frightening is to look at this
00:30:57.640 in a larger context. First of all, I'd never heard of a transsexual. I had, I don't believe I heard the
00:31:03.200 term, probably within the last three years is the first time I really heard the term. I'd heard of
00:31:09.360 transvestites, and I thought that's what initially this conversation was about. But then it became a matter
00:31:15.840 of surgery and sexuality and preference and identification. And this has come upon us very
00:31:24.660 quickly. And I recognize that I may be amongst the last to know about pop culture in this country.
00:31:30.700 But the reality is, there are lots of people who still don't get what they're doing. And as you say,
00:31:38.880 this is about, you know, I remember the idea that there was gender mutilation. You know what that
00:31:48.360 meant to me? A clitorectomy by sex, and S-E-C-T-S, Muslim sex, in North Africa, in Egypt, and various other
00:31:59.880 places. It is now, it is now policy on the part of this administration to permit the mutilation of
00:32:10.860 young girls and boys who aren't even, aren't even out of kindergarten, for God's sake. And we have to
00:32:17.300 have a discussion about what is right and wrong about that, what is legal and illegal. Do we also
00:32:22.640 get to have a discussion about a medical profession that permits such nonsense, which builds entire
00:32:28.860 clinics for profit around this kind of mutilation? This is madness. It is evil. And it is, there is no
00:32:38.760 other way to describe it. I lived in Egypt about 20 years ago, right after 9-11. And I remember very
00:32:46.420 well, this was a, the State Department, the United States government was against female genital mutilation,
00:32:54.140 made a very big deal out of it. I did other, this, this was the liberal position. All of these
00:33:01.440 barbers who were doing these, uh, the, the, cause that's what it was. Doctors wouldn't do it. It was
00:33:05.820 barber shops doing these barbaric, uh, you know, barbaric mutilations of, of, of little girls. And now
00:33:13.920 you're right, Lou, it's an industry. It's not only, it's not only an industry, it, it's a value.
00:33:20.040 It's become one of the core values of the regime to defend doctors, right? They, they make it about
00:33:26.140 protecting kids. They're not protecting kids. They're harming children to defend these doctors,
00:33:31.360 to defend these hospitals, these ghoulish figures who are doing this to kids. It's absolutely horrible.
00:33:38.340 And again, the people out there who are responding, your, your, your listeners, when they say that this
00:33:44.820 sounds horrible, they're right. That's their gut instinct. But we have Joe Biden who talks about
00:33:50.320 gender affirming care. So they're trying to legitimize these monstrosities and nice, decent
00:33:55.720 Americans. I don't know. I mean, I can't believe really that doctors would do anything bad or that
00:34:01.780 our government would support really bad things against children. I'm sorry. They are. That's exactly
00:34:07.000 what's happening. Yeah. And I'm sorry, if you want to live in La La Land, you know, you know,
00:34:10.920 turn on, uh, you know, Disney to the Disney channel, whatever, watch all the fantasy shows
00:34:17.620 you want, but you're not living a life. Understand that this is about reality. This is about existential
00:34:24.580 issues that affect this country and all Americans and people had better understand. This isn't a visit
00:34:32.580 to Disneyland. This is America. And it's being turned into something ugly and awful by these people who
00:34:39.760 mean us nothing less, uh, than the destruction of this great country and this great Republic. Uh,
00:34:47.740 we always give our guests Lee, uh, the opportunity for a last word, uh, on this podcast. And if you
00:34:55.700 will, you're concluding thoughts. Well, I mean, I, I, I think we, we, we pretty much covered it all,
00:35:01.480 especially the idea of, of, uh, encouraging, insisting, urging Americans to understand
00:35:08.880 what's happening. Let's stop, let's stop protecting, pretending. And it's under, it's
00:35:14.780 understandable. Why, why? Because it's, it's very disturbing. It's very scary. And that's what
00:35:21.880 they're doing. That's what the government, that's what the federal bureaucracy, that's what the deep
00:35:25.500 state. That's what many professionals are doing right now. Campaign of demoralization and desecration,
00:35:32.500 trying to scare us and terrorize us. It's effectively a campaign of terror waged against
00:35:38.940 the American people. Hold your head. I, you were raised, right? You know, what's right. You know,
00:35:45.380 what's wrong. Speak up, protect your families, protect your neighbors, love each other and realize
00:35:51.900 there are wolves at the door. That's what we have to do. See the reality, protect your loved
00:35:58.780 ones, protect yourselves. God bless America. God bless America is right. Thanks so much. We
00:36:05.580 appreciate it. Lee Smith is always a great American, uh, telling it like it is. Uh, and I want to also
00:36:12.280 congratulate Lee and his wife on her becoming an American citizen. Uh, congratulations to her and to
00:36:20.780 you, Lee. Uh, what a wonderful moment for, for you and always for the country. Uh, wow, Lou, that is so
00:36:28.020 nice. And, uh, she'll be thrilled to know that you said that, that, that is so thoughtful. Thank you,
00:36:34.280 Lou. God bless you, man. That is so nice. Thanks. God bless you. Lee Smith. Thanks so much for being
00:36:39.500 with us. Thank you, Lou. Coming up here tomorrow, our guest will be conservative Republican activist,
00:36:44.780 Brent Bozell, who is the founder and director of the media research center. We'll be talking about those
00:36:50.620 those awful communists in the national media that he tracks. So we don't have to that's here tomorrow
00:36:57.080 and coming up soon, Steve Bannon, Kevin Evans. Thanks for being with us until tomorrow. God bless you
00:37:03.120 and America.
