Hello, everybody. I'm Lou Dobbs. Thanks for being with us. Welcome to the Great America
00:01:22.220
Show. A new mystery disease in China. Plaguing children across China, a mystery child pneumonia
00:01:29.280
outbreak is how it's been described. It's swept through the schools in China, overwhelming
00:01:34.380
hospitals with sick children. A number of schools in China have reported an increase in the number
00:01:40.400
of children presenting with severe symptoms. Those symptoms include high fever and lung
00:01:45.780
inflammation. This, I might mention, is just about the same time that the China virus broke
00:01:51.580
out just three years ago, just in time for election season. I think we should always be suspicious of the
00:01:58.900
Biden regime's seemingly endless public health alerts, especially on new viruses. There always seems to be
00:02:06.620
an immediate round of fear-mongering from the administration, and none of their alarms, thank
00:02:12.560
goodness, this year have stuck. A Marxist-Dem New York Times editorial has finally acknowledged after
00:02:18.980
three years that the Marxist-Dem school closures and the China virus pandemic hurt students and hurt
00:02:25.100
them badly. After a study, the editorial board concluded that COVID school closures set student
00:02:31.220
progress in math and reading in particular back by as much as two decades. The Times editorial board
00:02:38.340
said the classroom closures from the China virus, quote, may prove to be the most damaging disruption in
00:02:45.080
the history of American education, end quote. Not a word from the Times on how the two major teachers
00:02:52.840
unions who were behind the closures should be held to account. I think they should be decertified on
00:02:59.120
that basis alone. A new poll out from Harvard-Harris shows 60 percent of Americans believe Joe Biden
00:03:05.900
participated in his son's business dealings. Republicans were more likely than Democrats to
00:03:11.680
think so, but still almost 40 percent of Dems believe the president is compromised. This is only the latest
00:03:18.580
poll to show Biden in deep political trouble with no signs of recovery. And what about President Trump?
00:03:25.560
Well, President Trump has widened his lead nationally over President Biden to four points in the latest
00:03:31.900
Emerson poll. The poll shows Trump holding on to his 47 percent support while Biden's support fell from 45 to
00:03:39.580
43 percent. About 10 percent of voters say they're undecided. The poll also found Biden lost support among voters
00:03:47.340
among voters of color. Among black voters, Biden down 15 points among Hispanics, down 11 points. The president
00:03:56.120
also lost 13 points from voters under the age of 50. He's down 16 points among four-year college graduates,
00:04:05.180
and there is absolutely zero good news in the polling for President Biden. Our guest today is looking strong in
00:04:13.320
his three-way primary race in the great state of Ohio, running for the U.S. Senate. And he's running to unseat
00:04:19.900
one of the Senate's longest-serving Marxist Dems, Sherrod Brown. Our guest is Bernie Moreno. He is a
00:04:26.940
successful businessman, an America First candidate, running for the Senate. And Bernie, first of all,
00:04:32.800
welcome to The Great America Show. Thank you for being with us. How do you feel about the state of
00:04:37.600
your campaign right now? Tell us how it's going. Oh, thank you, Lou. Thank you for having me. It's
00:04:42.780
going really well. So here are the metrics that matter right now. We're 90 days before voting,
00:04:48.200
starting four months. This primary is over. The metric that really matters right now is fundraising
00:04:52.900
because you need to have the money to get your message out. Ohio is a big state, seven media markets,
00:04:58.980
very expensive to advertise here. So we've been the number one fundraiser in the country on the GOP side
00:05:05.060
two quarters in a row. That's not an incumbent. So we've raised $3.5 million from individual
00:05:11.840
contributors. My next nearest opponent raised half of that. And the other is a distant third
00:05:18.040
with five times less than I've raised. So fundraising going really well. I've put in my own resources
00:05:23.580
to make certain that we're competitive with Sherrod Brown. And then the other piece is grassroots.
00:05:28.740
We have about 500 endorsements. There's 88 counties in Ohio. We have captains in all 88 counties.
00:05:35.040
We have contributors in all 88 counties. So we've got a great grassroots network built up.
00:05:40.640
My opponents don't even have 400 between the two of them. And they've been in elected office
00:05:45.200
combined of 30 years. So we're doing really well. For certain, there's no doubt that people are sick
00:05:52.740
of career politicians. We were never intended to have a political class in this country.
00:05:57.000
They want outsiders. They want people with business experience. And that's why I think my campaign
00:06:01.280
is resonating so much. Well, I think you're right. There is a certain malaise associated with
00:06:08.540
quote unquote professional politicians. And when you look at Capitol Hill right now,
00:06:14.740
you see a lot of professional. They're almost institutionalized. A guy like Mitch McConnell,
00:06:25.120
I mean, these people are examples of just sheer inertia. They're not doing anything new. They're
00:06:32.900
not thinking anything new. And I'm picking on two Republicans. Then if I move to the Democrats and
00:06:39.800
Chuck Schumer, we're talking about a group of Marxists that have now taken over the Democrat Party.
00:06:46.640
And, you know, no one fits the bill better than Sherrod Brown. I've known him for a long time
00:06:54.480
as over the course of my, you know, professionally. I just do not understand, frankly, why he has
00:07:04.340
gotten away with the ultra liberal left wing Marxist values that he espouses and acts upon.
00:07:13.780
Yeah, he doesn't represent Ohio at all. When I go to D.C., I'm sure like you,
00:07:19.340
they talk about Sherrod Brown. They say, well, wait a second. How is he from Ohio?
00:07:23.520
Like if he was from Massachusetts, Vermont, California, New York, it would make a little
00:07:27.520
bit more sense, although he's more liberal than those senators. But he's married to the media,
00:07:32.660
not figuratively, literally. His wife works for Gannett, the largest newspaper owner in Ohio.
00:07:37.820
So she's on the phone and makes certain that stories are written about him in a very positive light.
00:07:42.700
They keep him away from any negative articles. He comes across kind of like a nice guy. Talk about
00:07:48.380
baseball. He'll lie to business people right in their face. Well, of course, I would never vote
00:07:54.080
against those types of things. And of course, he does. This is his time's up. He's tired. He's been
00:08:01.660
in public office for almost 50 years, 30 of those years in Washington, D.C. You'll appreciate this.
00:08:08.480
In the 90s, when he first ran for Congress, he said, anybody who's been in D.C. for more than
00:08:13.800
10 years is a crook. He's been there 30 years. So it's time to retire him. We're going to make
00:08:20.460
that happen. We're not going to let him beat us on fundraising. We're not going to let him take
00:08:24.480
us off message. His policies, the things that he espouses hurt the very people that he pretends to help.
00:08:31.220
Well, I think you have just put out a pretty good list of issues to take on, the good senator.
00:08:42.580
He is, as I said, is a left winger. He has had remarkable staying power in a Midwestern state.
00:08:49.700
Lots of reasons for that. The economy has, over the course of his career, been
00:08:55.640
shifting and changing and a lot of pain felt by a lot of good Americans in your state, as you well
00:09:03.180
know. It's something of a model, I think, template, if you will, for the rest of the country, because
00:09:10.320
once fully industrial, it has shifted. It has changed. And the Republican Party is also having
00:09:21.180
trouble changing with it. What I'm hearing from you makes me, gives me hope that the Republican Party
00:09:27.820
has some new blood that is thinking, thinking right and thinking forward and thinking for themselves.
00:09:35.640
No, you're exactly right. The reality is the old Republicans dead. I think one of the things
00:09:40.200
that history will judge President Trump on is that he actually saved the Republican Party.
00:09:45.300
I think if it hadn't been for him, the Republican Party would be obsolete.
00:09:49.260
He's brought the middle class back to the American center. That's what the Republican Party is about.
00:09:55.280
We want to re-industrialize this country. We want good, high-paying jobs for Americans.
00:10:00.320
We want to be able to have a mom or a dad be able to have one job and provide for their family,
00:10:06.000
being able to live the American dream. That's what the Republican Party is about.
00:10:09.780
I think for too long, our party was about endless wars, about taxation, about helping businesses get
00:10:16.900
that last dollar of profit, all to the detriment of the middle class. Look, here in Ohio, Lou,
00:10:22.540
in 1949, six of the wealthiest 14 cities in America were in Ohio. Places like Dayton, Youngstown,
00:10:30.500
Cleveland, Toledo. We're not even barely in the top 50 now. That's what we're seeing here in Ohio.
00:10:36.840
And that's why the message of President Trump makes so much sense to so many people here in Ohio.
00:10:42.680
I think there's some people listening to us, and this audience is very bright, very tuned in,
00:10:48.640
and very knowledgeable when it comes to certainly politics in this country. I think that they have to
00:10:57.040
be somewhat surprised to be hearing a senatorial candidate talking America first, because there
00:11:04.540
are not many, as you know, out there who are owning America first as their political philosophy,
00:11:11.000
their motto. And I think that I think it is the best ever invented personally. And I salute you for it,
00:11:18.840
not only because you're aligned with President Trump, but because when you say America first,
00:11:24.280
to me, that is the ultimate and premature of intelligence and loyalty and patriotism.
00:11:30.460
If you're not putting, as the question always follows to me, at least,
00:11:34.100
if you're not America first, just what is first? I would love to know that from every candidate in
00:11:39.880
the country. We're talking with Bernie Moreno. We appreciate you being here. We're going to be
00:11:45.120
right back. Be patient with us. Just a momentary pause. We'll be right back.
00:11:56.040
We're back now with Bernie Moreno running for the United States Senate from the great state of Ohio.
00:12:02.040
Bernie, the America first and President Trump, and you mentioned this earlier when you talked about
00:12:09.940
what he did for the Republican Party. He is the man who has given animation and energy to the
00:12:17.600
Republican Party over the course of the past decade, one way or another. And it is, I think,
00:12:25.880
critically, and I will just say it this way, I think it's absolutely urgent and existential that
00:12:31.720
he be reelected if we're going to save this republic.
00:12:34.280
I want to get your thoughts on that issue. That he gets reelected. There's no question in
00:12:40.640
my mind that he will, Lou. I mean, it's objectively easy. We knew what life was like under the four
00:12:46.740
years of President Trump, including one year of COVID. We now know what life is under three years
00:12:51.360
of Joe Biden. I can't even imagine what the last year is going to be like. I don't want to imagine
00:12:56.720
the last year of Joe Biden. But when people go to the polls next November, they're going to vote just
00:13:01.400
on that. I think too many political pundits like to put a lot of other noise in the system,
00:13:05.880
but there could not be more of a contrast. Listen, if you go to the grocery store, you go to the gas
00:13:11.100
station, you turn on the news, you see what's going on in Israel, in Eastern Asia, in Eastern Europe,
00:13:16.560
in the Pacific Ocean, on our southern border, crime in our cities, our schools that are failing,
00:13:23.160
police officers that are getting abused, don't even want to do the job, our major American cities
00:13:29.740
failing. This is a track record of total and complete failure. I don't think that you could
00:13:34.800
actually plan a worse destructive presidency than what Joe Biden has done in America in the last
00:13:42.080
three years. I concur entirely. There's everything that is, every policy, every initiative that is taken
00:13:49.540
and undertaken is antithetical to the interest of the United States and to the idea even of America.
00:13:58.180
And I really cannot think of an exception to that anywhere on his agenda. There's no item that
00:14:05.340
screams out, this is about the American middle class, a working man and woman and his and her family,
00:14:12.040
their children, their education. You immigrated to this country with your family. You've made an
00:14:20.360
extraordinary success of your life and opportunity. And we're in a nation right now where the left has
00:14:26.960
seized the narrative. It's all about being dependent, being dependent on the federal government,
00:14:32.120
being dependent on whichever level of government has the greater aid, rather than saying we're going to
00:14:41.360
go seize the moment and make of ourselves what we can and putting it on ourselves, not anyone else.
00:14:47.660
We have seen this country taken over by the Marxist Dems. And again, there are very few
00:14:55.160
exceptions to that. Our public school systems used to be the greatest equalizer in our society.
00:15:01.900
We can talk about the war on poverty, any of that. Nothing is more important than our public
00:15:06.920
education system for the opportunities it's created for millions and millions of Americans over the years.
00:15:13.300
What are your thoughts about education, its importance and your policy views toward public
00:15:21.780
education? No, Lou, you're exactly right. This all started in my mind, you can trace it back to 1979
00:15:28.120
when Jimmy Carter created the Department of Education. Ronald Reagan, as you remember,
00:15:33.200
ran on getting rid of that department that had been only basically a year old. Didn't do it.
00:15:38.480
First Bush didn't do it. Second Bush didn't do it. President Trump had so much on the agenda that
00:15:44.140
just quite frankly, didn't get to it. When we take over in 2025, and we will, we will keep the
00:15:49.740
House. We'll win the Senate. President Trump will be our 47th president. We will get rid of that
00:15:54.160
Department of Education. What that allows us to do is collapse and eliminate this union,
00:15:59.460
Democrat Party, political money laundering operation that's been going on for decades.
00:16:04.440
Put local schools in the hands of parents of the kids that go to those community schools.
00:16:10.900
That's what should be happening. The reality is, Lou, we have to be teaching our kids math,
00:16:16.180
science, critical thinking, real history. Those are the things that we should be teaching instead
00:16:21.200
of this woke ideology, this victimhood, this idea that you're entitled to something,
00:16:26.420
that America's fundamentally flawed. This is the greatest country on earth. We have to put those
00:16:31.660
values back in our school systems. And when parents get control back of their public schools
00:16:36.660
and not union schools, that's what's going to happen.
00:16:39.120
I want to continue with Bernie Moreno's views on public education. When we come back right after
00:16:47.120
this quick message, stay with us. We'll be right back.
00:16:49.920
We're back now. We're talking with Bernie Moreno, and we're talking about his campaign to be the U.S.
00:17:02.440
senator from the great state of Ohio. We're talking about public education and how important it is.
00:17:08.660
As I mentioned, you came to this country as an immigrant. You have made an extraordinary success
00:17:15.300
of your life. Give us your thoughts about what has changed in this culture over the course of your
00:17:21.980
lifetime, and unfortunately, to the detriment of this nation.
00:17:28.680
When my family came here, there's myself, my five brothers, my sister, my mom and dad, nine of us,
00:17:33.680
moved into a two-bedroom apartment. My dad got a job making five bucks an hour, raising seven kids.
00:17:39.240
My mom became a realtor. What they talk about almost every single day was the importance of learning
00:17:45.300
language, learning the history of this country, and assimilating into American culture. The idea
00:17:50.620
that we left behind Colombia, and now we're here as Americans. My mom would be the person that would
00:17:56.780
be the most ardent America first supporter you could ever have met. She loved this country, Lou,
00:18:03.900
loved America. And the reality is today, Biden, the Democrats, they're letting people come into our
00:18:10.600
border completely illegally, with no ramifications. It's demeaning to those of us who follow the process
00:18:16.760
the right way. And then worst of all, they're encouraging people not to assimilate. They're
00:18:23.160
trying to create a multicultural America. We want to have a multi-ethnic country, but we need to
00:18:28.540
ultimately all understand that at the end of the day, we are all Americans. That's who we are. That's
00:18:33.860
what brings us together. English should be our official language. We shouldn't be having a country
00:18:39.980
where there's 17 different languages spoken. It's English. That's what binds us, the culture,
00:18:45.400
the language, the history. That's what coming here is all about. And that should be a prerequisite
00:18:50.080
for somebody who wants to come to America, that they take that as a given that they're going to
00:18:55.600
follow those rules. And to follow the rules. We have people talking about establishment Sharia law
00:19:03.180
in this country, talking about having a, there is so much of an impulse, if you will, in this country
00:19:12.200
right now toward division, toward segregation. I mean, it's mind boggling, all of the issues that
00:19:19.080
we fought so hard to rid this country of. One people is what this country is all about. All Americans,
00:19:29.000
irrespective of race or ethnicity, creed, or it's just amazing that we have let the Marxist
00:19:36.500
stems get this far in our schools, in our universities. And frankly, they're inculcating
00:19:43.120
young people in every fashion, whether it's through the federal government where they have
00:19:47.420
immense influence, public education, and two teachers unions that drive nearly everything that
00:19:54.720
happens, as well as our colleges and universities, which have become indoctrination centers. Your
00:20:02.420
I'll give you a quick story. When I went to college, I went to the same college that my son, my youngest
00:20:07.260
son went to. I'll make the story quick. The professor was an amazing guy. I walked with Martin Luther
00:20:13.300
King across the Selma Bridge. I took the class. I sat in the front row and him and I, Lou, argued.
00:20:18.940
You can't even imagine. Day in and day out. I mean, we went at it with each other. At the end of the
00:20:25.440
semester, he wrote me a note that said, hey, listen, I'm never giving an A-plus to anybody. I'm
00:20:30.980
giving you an A-plus. But let me be clear. I don't agree with any of the things that you believe in,
00:20:35.300
but I appreciate your passion. 30 years later, my son goes to that same school. Two days before school
00:20:40.700
starts, he gets a note that says, hey, we see you're Hispanic. So we have special counseling and
00:20:45.100
tutoring available for you. By the way, this is an A student, great student, takes a class,
00:20:49.920
professor decides that the women were mistreated in the class based on group assignments, gives
00:20:56.080
every guy in the class a B or less, and gives every girl in the class an A. That's what's changed in
00:21:01.400
our universities over 30 years. We've allowed it to happen, quite honestly. Those of us who ran
00:21:06.620
businesses, were taking care of our families, we figured, hey, somebody else is going to run this
00:21:10.700
government. It can't be that bad. Just leave us alone. And the reality is we've got these idiotic
00:21:14.780
politicians who only care about their careers, only care about their next election, that have
00:21:19.040
let this country go into a ditch. My dad used to say, Lou, you either write the book or you read the
00:21:24.160
book. But if you're not writing it, don't complain about the ending. And that's why I'm running. We
00:21:28.060
got to change this. We got to change and get us back to our original founding principles. And when we
00:21:33.520
do, not if we do, we'll get this country back on track for the next generation. Well, I'm inspired by
00:21:39.760
you and your father, your mother and your siblings as well. It is a nation of immigrants. It is one of
00:21:49.920
the things that we all talk about. To me, that's not enough of a response to what America is, because
00:21:55.840
yes, we're a nation of immigrants. We're also a nation of hard workers. We're a nation of great people
00:22:01.400
and great potential and great opportunity. We're so many things. But most of all, we're America.
00:22:08.640
And people won't even talk about America. You don't hear people talking about America,
00:22:14.260
our potentiality, whether they're in Congress or whether they're in a pulpit,
00:22:20.040
whether they're at a Kiwanis meeting, whatever it is. I hope they're talking about this great
00:22:26.420
country. People are afraid to be patriotic. It's corny. It is cliched for some, but no more
00:22:33.620
cliched, frankly, than anything originating with the left in this country. It's a time that we've
00:22:42.280
got so many pressures on us, economic, societal, ideological, philosophical differences. How do we
00:22:49.740
get to that point where we are squaring our shoulders and working as one people toward
00:22:56.700
keeping this great republic? I think it's on all of us. I think those of us who are in the business
00:23:03.220
world who've accomplished something need to think about going to Washington, D.C. or state capitals
00:23:09.220
or local elections to serve their country. We can't just sit on the sidelines. We don't send our
00:23:15.420
breasts and brightest to Washington, D.C., Lou. I think you know that. Imagine for a second if we
00:23:20.220
took the 535 most accomplished Americans who would go to Washington, D.C. to serve their country,
00:23:26.400
not for their own personal well-being, not to build wealth, not to build fame, but truly to serve this
00:23:33.360
great country. I think what we also have to do as Republicans is we have to be unequivocal in our
00:23:38.660
beliefs. We have to stand strong and not be afraid of the mainstream media. Listen, they're going to call
00:23:44.120
us all kinds of names. They will never like us. They will never agree with us. They're never going
00:23:48.380
to write a nice story about us. Get over that. Put the ideas in place. Force them through. Get this
00:23:54.960
country back on track. And then we have success. And when we have that success, that's what's
00:24:00.860
ultimately going to bring this country back together. I think people are starting to wake up.
00:24:05.180
The reality is that we're up against a very loud minority. I think we're a 65-35 country. I think 65%
00:24:11.980
of Americans believe in constitutional conservative principles, but that 35 is so damn loud. And they
00:24:19.000
have a great huge megaphone called the media. And we just got to plow through that.
00:24:23.040
And they've already taken over the federal government. And we've got to recognize that
00:24:27.740
fact as well. Bernie, it has been great talking with you. I wish you all the best of luck in your
00:24:34.280
campaign to be the next U.S. senator from the great state of Ohio. We appreciate it. And
00:24:41.000
all best. Thank you, Lou. Thank you again for having me. Best of luck to Bernie Marino. And
00:24:46.560
thanks, everybody, for being with us. Our guest here tomorrow on The Great America Show,
00:24:51.200
Mr. New York himself, radio legend Mark Simone. Please join us for that tomorrow. Join us each
00:24:57.160
and every day. Thanks, everybody. God bless you. And may God bless America.
