Hello, everybody. I'm Lou Dobbs. Welcome to the Great America Show. Thank you for being
00:01:26.880
with us. Make Argentina great again. Populist libertarian Javier Millet has won the presidency
00:01:34.280
of Argentina in a landslide victory. And I must say, all of the election done by paper ballot,
00:01:41.580
no electronic machines, and then knew the results just hours after the election. Imagine that.
00:01:47.740
You may ask yourself, why should I care about an Argentine election? Well, here's why.
00:01:54.820
Malay will be taking over from socialist Alberto Fernandez, the president of Argentina who managed
00:02:01.960
to put the country in a downward economic spiral, much like socialist Marxist Joe Biden has done
00:02:08.460
to America. Only slightly worse, 200% inflation in Argentina, making people's lives unlivable.
00:02:15.960
Argentina's central bank has raised their estimate for annual inflation this year. That's what socialism
00:02:22.140
and Marxism do to a country. Take a listen to a Tucker Carlson interview with Malay, in which he warned
00:02:32.100
Never embrace the ideas of socialism. Never allow yourself to be seduced by the siren song of social
00:02:39.300
justice. Don't get caught up in that terrible concept that there is a need, there's a right.
00:02:44.920
But that can't happen on its own. We have to be prepared for this and wage a cultural war every
00:02:50.240
single day. And we have to be careful because they have no problem with getting inside the state and
00:02:55.160
employing Gramsci's techniques, seducing the artists, seducing the media, or meddling in educational
00:03:00.980
content. You need to be very careful. Cut off their funding and force them into a fair fight.
00:03:06.800
At the same time, we have to raise awareness among the business sector that the masses are necessary.
00:03:12.520
Milton Friedman used to say that the social role of an entrepreneur is to make money, but that's not
00:03:17.540
enough. Part of their investment must include investing in those who defend the ideals of freedom so
00:03:23.400
the socialists can make no further advances. If they don't do it, they will get into the state and
00:03:28.840
use the state to impose a long-term agenda that will destroy everything it touches. So we need a
00:03:35.160
commitment from all of those to create wealth to fight against socialism, to fight against statism,
00:03:40.460
and to understand if they fail to do so, the socialists will keep coming because that's their point.
00:03:46.980
Since they try to leech off others without working, they are tireless in their pursuit,
00:03:51.320
their leitmotif in life is to live off of others. So they never give up on this mechanism to gain
00:03:57.180
control of others' wealth, money, or income. So this battle must be waged unceasingly.
00:04:03.000
We cannot take a day off because when we rest, socialism creeps in.
00:04:07.760
Brilliantly put by the new Argentinian president-elect. And Malay says not only will he not work with China,
00:04:14.600
but he won't work with any communist nation, any socialist nation.
00:04:19.540
Not only will I not do business with China, I want to do business with any communist. I am a
00:04:24.360
defender of freedom, peace, and democracy. There's no room for communists there. There's no room for
00:04:30.160
Putin there. There's no room for Lula there. We want to be the moral lighthouse for our continent.
00:04:35.760
We want to be defenders of freedom, democracy, and diversity, of peace. From within the state,
00:04:41.260
we will not pursue any action with communists or socialists. That doesn't mean that Argentinians
00:04:46.700
can't trade. If they want to trade with China or with Russia or with Brazil, that's up to each
00:04:51.140
Argentinian. Argentina is already sounding better. Malay takes office in another 20 days on December 10th.
00:04:59.080
Puppet President Joe Biden turned 81 yesterday and his age and rapid health decline has his fellow
00:05:05.500
Marxist Dems in the party more than a little anxious. They're anxious, it seems, to replace Biden
00:05:11.080
for the 2024 election. Politico reporting even those in Biden's inner circle, including family
00:05:17.280
members, worry about the optics of his advancing age. The president's birthday arrived on the same day
00:05:24.340
that a new NBC poll showed Biden's disapproval rating at an all-time high, 57%. That same NBC poll has
00:05:34.540
Trump beating Biden in a head-to-head for the first time. And among younger voters, ages 18 to 34,
00:05:41.860
Trump emerged on top, 46 to 42% over Biden. For context, younger voters broke for Biden in 2020
00:05:50.260
by about 26%. And former Obama advisor David Axelrod is doubling down on his calls for Biden to step aside
00:05:59.380
and let a younger Marxist Dems take over. Axelrod telling the New York Times this week Biden has
00:06:05.620
only a 50-50 shot at beating Trump. Our guest today is the founder and editor-in-chief of Just
00:06:12.100
the News, John Solomon. John, great to have you back with us. Let's begin with the January 6th tapes
00:06:17.820
as Speaker Mike Johnson is released. 44,000 hours will be released in all the first installment
00:06:24.860
coming out this weekend. Your reaction, John? Yeah, not surprising to me just because
00:06:30.380
Congressman Laudermilk, the subcommittee chairman that's been running the January 6th investigation
00:06:35.060
since Democrats gave up control of the House, he has been saying that this is the direction he
00:06:42.020
wanted to move in. Of course, Speaker McCarthy was not on board with that. His removal, I think,
00:06:47.680
opened a window or opened a door to come back and revisit the idea that maybe everybody should get
00:06:54.040
access to everything. We trust the American people to find their truth on their own, that it doesn't
00:06:58.560
have to be a controlled release. And I think over the last few days, Speaker Johnson and Chairman
00:07:05.800
Laudermilk worked out a scenario where it's easy to get the information up. Here's the path. We're
00:07:10.360
going to do it. Let's let people take a look at things and find what they want and get the highest
00:07:16.700
degree of transparency possible. And I think we're moving in that direction now. Not all the video is up
00:07:22.640
yet. It takes some time to post this because it's massive in size. There'll be dangers, right?
00:07:28.460
There'll be mistakes that people make. They'll see something on the videotape, think it's something
00:07:31.980
other than that. That's always a problem when you release information publicly. But I think
00:07:36.960
the long-term benefit to the American public is huge. And everybody can see for themselves with
00:07:43.900
their own eyes, without having filters and without the media telling them what to believe,
00:07:48.100
what happened that day. And I think it'll benefit defendants. It'll benefit journalists. It'll
00:07:53.000
benefit historians. And it will benefit voters going into the 2024 election.
00:07:58.440
I was very encouraged and thrilled that he did it because he had made a couple of steps,
00:08:04.400
a couple of moves that I didn't think were in the proper direction or at the proper pace.
00:08:09.600
This is good to see because this is a move toward transparency. I just hope the Republican Party
00:08:16.220
understands that you can't go wrong honoring the public's right to know. And if they follow that
00:08:23.040
particular load star, they'll be fine. It is when they get... And there was a slight apology offered
00:08:30.160
up by the Speaker's office because there are some of the videos that will not be available that,
00:08:35.000
as they put it, reveal architectural features that could have security implications. And if it's
00:08:41.120
de minimis, a fraction of a percent of something in these videos, that's fine. It's when it becomes
00:08:47.580
what it did become under Speaker McCarthy, the whole enchilada. He had a reason to do everything
00:08:53.140
slowly, to do everything that frustrated the public's right to know. I think we obviously have a
00:08:58.640
different... We've got a different fellow and a different sort of fellow in Mike Johnson.
00:09:03.600
Yeah. And it's a different mindset. There's no doubt about it. And I think you said it right,
00:09:07.460
Lou. Why should we fear the public's right to know? The public is smart. And only those who want
00:09:13.160
to manipulate the public, try to control the flow of information. Those who trust the public and trust
00:09:17.960
this constitutional republic know that transparency is the best thing. And I think Mike Johnson came
00:09:22.660
down on that side. Chairman Barry Laudermilk has been a champion of this, and he has worked
00:09:27.420
tirelessly for eight months, nine months, 10 months now, actually, to put us in a position to get
00:09:33.240
this data. And I'm really grateful for him as a journalist, because I've been able to access
00:09:37.560
some of this information. I think the public will be grateful for him long-term, seeing the benefit
00:09:43.400
Yeah. Think about it. It's 10 months really wasted, honestly.
00:09:47.820
I mean, if everybody's straight about it, it was wasted.
00:09:50.600
There's no reason on earth that these shouldn't have been out the second that McCarthy was sworn
00:09:56.360
And the fact that that was not the case shows, I think, everybody's part of the problem with
00:10:03.280
Kevin McCarthy and the cross currents that were running through the conference, largely
00:10:08.400
because of the rhinos and divided allegiances, I'll put it that way.
00:10:14.160
Senator Mike Lee coming out and saying the House January 6th panel should be investigated
00:10:18.360
itself after the release of these tapes, because what we've already seen are, I'll say it very
00:10:25.140
nicely, discordant images with the narrative that the Dems were pushing.
00:10:31.160
I mean, these guys were lying through their teeth on that January 6th committee.
00:10:36.300
Pelosi, what they created is just an embarrassment, a shame, and a disgrace to the Marxist-Democrat
00:10:55.140
And people better understand, this is not just about right and wrong in terms of policy.
00:11:00.560
This is, there is no moral compass on the left at all.
00:11:07.880
Yeah, listen, in moments like this in the past, you always put your country before your
00:11:14.040
But the Democratic Party have constantly, over the last few years, put party ahead of country's
00:11:19.320
And so we weren't given the truth about what really happened on January 6th.
00:11:25.580
I believe in the next few days, we'll begin to learn just how many law enforcement undercover
00:11:33.020
I think there could be as many as four or five dozen, four or five teams just from Metropolitan
00:11:38.740
That's an area where I've been focusing a lot of my reporting.
00:11:41.040
All of that has been deprived the American public for nearly three years now.
00:11:47.760
We're still only getting snippets of basic truth for the first time.
00:11:52.940
We had a story last week that I think is so important.
00:11:56.180
The gallows, that big image that television played all that day saying, look, the Trump
00:12:03.680
Well, we found the video footage of that working with a guy named Ed Martin, working with Chairman
00:12:11.040
Those things walk in in the wee hours of the morning.
00:12:13.500
They're sitting on the property for hours without any police trying to take them down,
00:12:20.300
even though it was an illegal structure, wouldn't have met the terms of the permit for that
00:12:30.560
You can see them going for coffee, coming back.
00:12:35.400
And somehow the FBI is unable to determine who they are, just like they're unable to
00:12:40.860
determine who dropped those bombs at the RNC and DNC, just like they are unable to explain
00:12:47.480
how the Secret Service didn't sweep the DNC building and allow Vice President-elect Kamala
00:12:55.280
There are so many security failures and security abnormalities that the January 6th committee
00:13:02.380
deprived the American people from learning about.
00:13:06.920
We'll probably get to the bottom of a lot of these lingering and very important issues.
00:13:17.860
You know, we can talk about abnormalities or we can talk about irregularities.
00:13:22.540
We can talk about anomalies or we can talk about what we're really talking about.
00:13:28.740
And this insurrection day on January 6th was an absolute setup on the part of the FBI,
00:13:41.180
I mean, John, this is an outrage staring us in the face and people, I get a kick out of
00:13:47.700
I'm hearing congressmen who are not lawyers talking like they were going to write a constitutional
00:13:53.480
law treatise for their class they're teaching today.
00:14:00.960
It is a government that is under the control of the Marxist Dems.
00:14:09.040
And there to see Christopher Wray say he's not a part of the Department of Homeland Security.
00:14:15.840
Wasn't that a precious moment as he's trying to correct the congressman?
00:14:20.960
I just we have an arrogant bunch of crooks in these jobs.
00:14:26.760
And everybody better understand what we're dealing with, because that's who we're dealing
00:14:31.580
Well, listen, our founding fathers feared this very moment that we live in now.
00:14:35.780
That's why they created the Constitutional Republic to avoid a large central government
00:14:39.960
from imposing its own will on the American people.
00:14:44.000
But somehow, particularly in the last 10 to 20 years, instead of a government by for and
00:14:50.740
of the people, it's become a government to control the people and to control the truth,
00:14:55.280
to control what you say, to control what you think, to control what you put in your body.
00:14:59.320
And I think that this is exactly the worst case scenario that our founding fathers did not
00:15:06.100
And the next election is an opportunity, if Americans are serious about this, if they really
00:15:11.040
are concerned about it, to install into place a mindset and a plan that would substantially
00:15:20.820
The only way you can remove power from bureaucrats is to get rid of them.
00:15:24.900
And Republicans have talked that way for 25 years.
00:15:29.720
Donald Trump didn't get it done in his first term.
00:15:31.800
He seems very determined if he gets a second term to do exactly that.
00:15:35.760
And I've seen the plans he's put out there, and they make a big dent in reducing the size
00:15:41.780
But we live in a period right now where the central government has a say over almost every
00:15:47.060
aspect of our life, including telling us what reality we can believe or what reality we see.
00:15:52.480
And the FBI, particularly in the Russia collusion case, was a big part of that.
00:15:57.060
And also the 51 intelligence analysts who misled us in the 2020 election.
00:16:03.460
The American people were completely denied the truth on something as essential as was
00:16:09.380
the president or the person they were about to elect as president compromise.
00:16:18.560
This next election is the self-correcting moment.
00:16:21.320
If we're going to have one, if it doesn't happen in 2024, I think you look at many, many
00:16:27.860
years of long centralized control of our lives from government in Washington on the horizon.
00:16:34.780
Now, you just saw what happened in Argentina, right?
00:16:41.900
They don't like the government economy that was given them.
00:16:44.660
And they went in a very radical direction last night with their election.
00:16:48.360
It'll be interesting to see if Americans choose that same path.
00:16:56.160
And as you might guess, as a populist myself, I was jumping up and down with joy to see what
00:17:01.480
the people of Argentina did, because they have a plain spoken, straight talking president
00:17:06.280
President Dao, who is opposite everything the Peronistas have been for decades.
00:17:16.600
Something that no leader, it seems, of Argentina has understood for a half century.
00:17:24.420
We're going to talk about how did it take us so long to get to the point where we can actually
00:17:29.000
call a congressman or a senator a lying son of a gun.
00:17:42.500
We're back now with John Solomon, Just the News.
00:17:48.960
How, why, how in the world did we get to a point where we had to fight to get to where
00:17:57.940
Talking about the fact that the government is rancid with corruption, that the Biden
00:18:03.500
regime is without any question whatsoever corrupt.
00:18:15.600
They're corrupt and they're vicious and they are the Marxist left.
00:18:20.180
And we've been so afraid to say the word Marxist.
00:18:24.740
And they are the they are the threat to this country, aren't they?
00:18:28.120
Well, listen, I think anyone who values freedom, anyone who values personal liberty, who values
00:18:35.660
a free market, which is the three primary foundations upon which this country has been
00:18:39.900
so successful and innovative and globally inspiring, has to recognize that we're in a moment where
00:18:47.260
all three of those core principles, core driving forces of the American experience are under
00:18:55.440
The Democrats don't believe in personal freedom.
00:19:03.080
That's what the Green Energy New Deal is about.
00:19:10.340
They have become increasingly critical of the first two freedoms granted in the Bill of Rights,
00:19:17.780
And so you see these efforts through disinformation and censorship, now defunding or debanking gun
00:19:26.260
manufacturers, that the very freedoms that our founding fathers believed were going to
00:19:33.180
be the most important for sustaining the great American experience.
00:19:36.880
There's one party that argues against them on a daily basis.
00:19:40.840
And yes, many of the principles, much of the language they use seems to have its origins in
00:19:46.580
Marxist tradition, critical race theory, DEI, CRT.
00:19:50.600
We can go, you know, we can give you the alphabet soup.
00:19:52.620
But at the end of the day, there is a growing number of people in the Democratic Party who
00:20:00.560
believe that freedom is a threat to the Democrat Party agenda.
00:20:04.500
And that is anathema to the American experience.
00:20:07.600
There is also, beyond the Democratic Party, this massive, well-funded oligarchy in America,
00:20:14.420
particularly those who came out of Silicon Valley, who believe it their job to use their market
00:20:20.840
position to control Americans, control thought, control speech, control convention.
00:20:31.380
That's the term that my good colleague, Seamus Bruner, who has a brand new book out, talks about.
00:20:36.160
And so when you have a Democratic Party aligned with a-
00:20:46.540
So Democrat politicians aligned with big tech oligarchs.
00:20:50.940
The threat to freedom, the threat to the American experience has never been greater.
00:20:59.960
Do you think that, you know, the Republicans in the Senate understand it?
00:21:07.880
I think Mike Lee does a handful, but I don't see this party organizing around the principles
00:21:15.620
We've got a group of people in the House and some to a fewer in the Senate who want to try
00:21:33.300
And what has to happen is the Republican Party understands they have got to block the Marxists,
00:21:40.240
understand that the Marxists control the Democrat Party, and they have to understand without
00:21:44.800
any equivocation that they're going to have to make sure that the election of 2024 is not
00:21:52.040
rigged and is not controlled by the Marxist Dems.
00:21:55.100
You know, people ask this question often, do Republicans understand the battle they're
00:22:02.280
First off, they certainly haven't been fighting with the political armaments that this battle
00:22:09.000
The Democrats have taken every advantage in changing election roles, in pushing the roles
00:22:15.200
of elections and pushing the roles of governance.
00:22:17.920
And the Republicans have been way too courteous, way too deferential.
00:22:21.540
Now, when you look at the rhetoric, when you look at what key Republicans are saying today,
00:22:27.340
take Mitch McConnell out of it, I think his time has passed, and I'm not sure he understands
00:22:32.680
But many of the next generation Republicans seem to articulate the danger, seem to articulate
00:22:47.720
Thus far, they haven't shown that they have it.
00:22:49.680
And I think the last 20 years of history is a poignant reminder that many times Republicans
00:22:58.000
have been co-conspirators in the changing of America towards this big government, suffocating
00:23:09.240
Obviously, Donald Trump was a little bit of an aberration, though even on his watch, the
00:23:13.340
Republicans in Congress didn't make the sort of change that the American people empowered
00:23:23.180
They didn't do what Americans hired them to do.
00:23:26.440
And as a result, they got kicked out of office two years later, or two and four years later,
00:23:32.820
I do think when you look at what Republicans are saying, those in power today, the chairman,
00:23:37.600
people like Jim Jordan and James Comer and the new speaker, Mike Johnson, they certainly
00:23:43.180
articulate the moment we're in, but they have not been able to produce yet results on the
00:23:52.000
Government hasn't shrunk one penny in the last 25 years when Republicans have been in
00:23:58.320
It's getting bigger on Republican and Democrat watches.
00:24:01.680
The border has gotten more and more open every two years.
00:24:07.140
So Republicans have been aiders and a betters in this process.
00:24:13.360
I've yet to see the sort of plan that would combat it.
00:24:16.720
Now, President Trump's plan seems to have, I think, the most clear elements of how to
00:24:24.160
I think the America First Policy Institute and some of its 2025 agenda that people like Lee
00:24:29.960
Zeldin are developing, they seem to have real policy actions that match the rhetoric.
00:24:34.980
And then the final question is, if you have the policy and you got the rhetoric, do you have
00:24:38.560
the will to impose it or the will to achieve it?
00:24:41.420
And I think, well, history will let us know that in the next couple of years.
00:24:45.320
The problem with the Lee Zeldins, and who's a great guy, is he's not a fighter and he is
00:24:51.380
not a man with a loud voice and a real strong sense of direction.
00:25:04.880
There are just too many of these kinds of cookie cutter candidates out there who would
00:25:11.220
like to be in some sort of sinecure for life, it seems, rather than actually get something
00:25:28.620
But the reality, the reality is we've got to take a break and we're going to come right
00:25:32.660
back and then we're going to find out what John Solomon wants to really say to Lou Dobbs.
00:25:49.040
And John, your thoughts about the rhinos and the folks who will not talk straight in Washington,
00:25:59.460
I think when you look at someone like a Lee Zeldin, who I've really studied closely as
00:26:03.700
a journalist, some of the tactical changes that he willed into existence in New York the
00:26:09.680
last election are the sort of things that Republicans should have been doing six years ago, right?
00:26:25.080
I want to hear about a Republican who actually talks straight, actually wins and does something.
00:26:30.420
I mean, the state of Arizona right now is producing candidate after candidate who knows they got
00:26:34.700
screwed in the elections of 2022 and 2020, but they don't win.
00:26:43.600
Yeah, listen, I completely agree with you that winning is a problem for Republicans.
00:26:51.340
Part of the reason is they allowed the Democrats to change the rules of the election,
00:26:55.700
and then they disarmed, saying, I want to hold on to the old election.
00:26:59.200
And I think if you're going to win in 2024, all the data that I've seen as a journalist,
00:27:04.680
again, just looking at pure data, is you have to get your base out.
00:27:09.360
That's what Donald Trump does better than any conservative president in American history
00:27:16.580
And then you've got to go after low propensity voters, which Democrats have mastered and Republicans
00:27:22.880
There are a certain group of people, and it's sad to say, but it is harsh reality, that won't
00:27:28.480
take the time or don't have the time to go vote on Election Day.
00:27:31.400
But if you make it easy for them to vote early, they will vote early.
00:27:35.040
And that's how Democrats have rolled up some really significant numbers.
00:27:40.800
Republicans keep spitting into the wind on this.
00:27:43.660
For the first time, I'm seeing evidence that they are starting to engage those voters.
00:27:49.220
There is an opportunity, Hispanic voters, young parents, Black voters, all moving to the
00:27:56.360
You see it in the polling data, but polling data doesn't equal vote.
00:28:00.660
How you get those people to vote is, I think, the existential question for the Republican
00:28:07.720
Can they muster the sort of votes that win elections?
00:28:14.400
And while Zeldin lost in 2022, and he did lose, he lost by way less than what the polls
00:28:20.100
He closed it, but that early voting kicked in three or four wins for Republicans in places
00:28:27.540
like Staten Island and some of the burbs of New York.
00:28:30.360
There are hopeful signs that that strategy could and can be a winning strategy if deployed
00:28:37.780
The alternative is just to watch the Democrats start every election with 200,000 extra votes
00:28:42.360
on Election Day and then try to make it up on Election Day.
00:28:46.340
Ronald Reagan said, I'm a principled guy, but I'll never unilaterally disarm.
00:28:50.860
Republicans for the last three to four elections have unilaterally disarmed on some of the tactics
00:28:59.460
This is 2024 is the year we're going to find out if Republicans can still win.
00:29:03.520
If not, I think we're destined, Republicans are destined to be a minority party for a very
00:29:10.320
I think that the way you construct it, if the only way that Republicans can win is by
00:29:16.820
playing like Mark Elias, and that is cheating, going to early voting, making it early months
00:29:33.280
Oh, but the problem is they allowed it to get that way, right?
00:29:35.280
Yeah, they did, but they should also reverse it.
00:29:38.100
And the fact is that the Republicans are so lazy and so unsure of their leadership that
00:29:48.020
They won't talk about an Election Day, just like the Constitution does, talk about it and
00:29:54.620
This is either the Republican Party is going to be the party of law and order and principle,
00:29:59.080
or it's going to be nothing more than an echo of what is a group of Marxist Dems who mean
00:30:06.780
to unravel this country in every fashion possible.
00:30:10.260
John, I just don't see how that's a winning argument for Republicans.
00:30:13.340
I would like to see Republicans show enough energy to get out there and change those laws
00:30:18.380
to roll back that all that Mark Elias and the Dems did in 2020.
00:30:23.240
Because the other way is an unprincipled nightmare that will mean that there won't be a nickel's
00:30:32.040
Well, the problem right now is that they don't have control in the battleground states that
00:30:39.920
In fact, they've lost ground in those states because the Democrats changed the rules and
00:30:47.560
The only way to impose your will on election law is to have the ability to pass and sign
00:30:58.200
They used to have it and they slept through it.
00:31:06.360
The only way for them to get back to imposing an election day in America is to win one of the
00:31:11.980
elections under the current rules and then push it backwards.
00:31:18.300
They've lost ground in Pennsylvania, despite the fact that Donald Trump's more popular
00:31:25.620
You've got to seize control in order to impose control.
00:31:29.180
And right now, they're at a disadvantage in many of the battleground states.
00:31:40.620
And I think while they had statewide control, while they had those darn investigations into election
00:31:45.440
integrity, they didn't manage to change the rules to their advantage.
00:31:49.420
And I think failure to continue to do so will be an existential problem for the Republican
00:31:56.160
This is the election where they have to win by the rules that are currently in place, and
00:32:00.560
then you can go and change it to whatever you think the Constitution and the American
00:32:04.920
But absent that, they're going to be a minority party for a long time.
00:32:08.720
That's what I think the polling data shows, what the trend lines of the last six years
00:32:16.460
And we can complain about it, but those are the rules.
00:32:19.860
And so we need to go win by those rules, and then you can change the rules back to the
00:32:23.420
way I think most Americans like, which is voter ID.
00:32:28.580
The Republican principles of election are very popular.
00:32:31.540
They just aren't the letter of the law in many states right now.
00:32:35.700
Yeah, I'm not Mark Elias' favorite person, but he did like my proposal for the Republican
00:32:42.220
Party back in 2022, which is that it was 2020, actually, for the Republican Party to just
00:32:52.520
take a breath, put together a few hundred million dollars and buy, pay off Mark Elias to work
00:33:02.340
And Mark Elias quit, you know, he blocked me on Twitter right after that.
00:33:10.200
But anyway, it's the truth of the matter is there's not a single person in the Republican
00:33:14.340
Party right now, as far as I know, not a single group, not an organized institution, non-profit,
00:33:20.200
whatever you want to say, that knows a darn thing about what they're doing in terms of early
00:33:25.540
All they're going to do is end up going to jail because they're going to break a law of
00:33:32.960
There is a massive lack of knowledge and capability, and we're less than a year away.
00:33:43.020
I guess the question becomes, what is it that Republicans do exactly between elections?
00:33:48.580
Because they seem to just sit on their tails and, you know, just sort of slobber waiting
00:33:58.160
I mean, it's ridiculous to me to see this Republican Party.
00:34:02.420
If they did not have Donald Trump in the Republican Party, this party would already be gone.
00:34:14.260
And I grew up in the era of New York where George Steinbrenner demanded excellence, and
00:34:22.060
The RNC has underperformed in five straight elections, and yet it has the same leadership.
00:34:28.260
If you want to start with, you know, an easy thing, if you keep losing, you have to change
00:34:33.560
That's what every great football team learns, every baseball team learns.
00:34:38.340
The Republicans keep doubling down on their failed leadership.
00:34:53.260
Listen, if in the next few weeks that happens, which, by the way, there's some very serious
00:34:58.900
If that happens, then you know that some people have been listening to the wisdom that
00:35:04.300
If they don't, if they double down on the same team, then all you can do is expect the
00:35:11.360
If you don't change, you end up in the same destination.
00:35:14.580
And I think right now someone has to change the compass to the Republican Party.
00:35:23.480
But if you don't spend it wisely, if you spend it lazily, if you're unimaginative, if you're
00:35:28.260
not fighting your enemy on the battlefield that they're on, you're destined to lose.
00:35:32.740
And I think right now there is a lot of that feeling that the Republicans haven't changed
00:35:41.600
They haven't reset the GPS and they're headed sleepwalking into another failed election.
00:35:46.720
Now, Donald Trump may have something to say about that.
00:35:56.400
And, you know, the RNC, you're talking about raising over $300 million.
00:36:02.860
If you're running a political party, that money should be highly energized with great velocity
00:36:22.020
That is a fact that the Republican National Committee has been underperforming.
00:36:26.220
And somebody has to make a change or they'll wake up on the morning after the 2024 election
00:36:33.360
John Solomon, it is always great to have you with us here on The Great America Show.
00:36:43.660
