00:00:33.580Hello, everybody, and welcome to The Great America Show.
00:00:38.380President Trump back before the Marxist Dem judge Juan Merchant Tuesday, where he sat for a contempt of court hearing.
00:00:46.400Prosecutors last week filing a nasty motion to hold President Trump in contempt of court for violating Judge Merchant's expanded gag order,
00:00:56.080which barred President Trump from criticizing Merchant himself and his highly conflicted family members.
00:01:03.600Merchant said that he's going to wait, though, to rule on whether he's going to be a tough guy with President Trump,
00:01:10.480asserting that Trump had violated the gag order.
00:01:13.440It's unclear when he'll actually issue any kind of ruling.
00:01:17.820Now, I think that's the first smart thing I've seen Merchant do.
00:01:21.280Trump not having any part of this Marxist judge's violation of his First Amendment rights,
00:01:27.100tweeting the following while the court was on lunch break.
00:01:31.020The highly conflicted, to put it mildly, Judge Juan Merchant, the president said,
00:01:35.820has taken away my constitutional rights to free speech.
00:01:40.020Everybody's allowed to talk and lie about me, but I'm not allowed to defend myself.
00:01:45.040This is a kangaroo court, and the judge should recuse himself.
00:05:35.480So the beast has, you know, like any good metaphor, multiple layers of meaning.
00:05:41.960In the book, the chapter that, you know, from which that title is drawn, it's an actual bear in our yard that really happened.
00:05:52.680We moved to upstate New York at the start of the pandemic because my husband and I both knew that what we were seeing around us in terms of the closures and the kind of draconian suspensions of civil liberties meant that something very bad geopolitically was happening and about to happen.
00:06:13.200So in the middle of the woods, one day this bear just showed up and started encircling the house while I was upstairs hiding in the bathroom with a BB gun because I grabbed the wrong gun.
00:06:25.500I barely know how to shoot a real gun.
00:06:27.900But the metaphor there is that the bear had gotten more and more comfortable because we had not done anything to deter it.
00:06:35.120And then finally, we had this monster in our backyard that was trying to break it and, you know, menace me.
00:06:41.000And this is a metaphor in that essay that stood for how comfortable we've become with the role of China, not seeing it as a threat while China has been waging war on us in the way that it has traditionally waged war, which is not with bullets, not with a visible invasion.
00:06:59.700But buying up our ports, buying up our water resources, buying up our farmland, institutional corruption, elite capture, regulatory capture.
00:07:09.520And in that chapter, I'm revealing that my original research found that the mRNA injections, whose devastating effects are a theme of the book because of the work of the 3,250 doctors and scientists that my site oversees and reading through the Pfizer documents released under court order.
00:07:32.900I found that the IP and the IP and the manufacturing, the distribution was in an MOU with China.
00:07:42.360So basically, our worst adversaries who want us gone, dead, diminished, vanquished, were manufacturing, distributing this injection that this team of doctors and scientists that Amy Kelly and I, my CEO, oversaw or oversee were finding had caused catastrophic.
00:08:02.900Tastrophic levels of murder, catastrophic levels of murder, disabling injuries, neurological injuries, strokes, heart attacks, and massive levels of sterilization of the next, you know, making it more difficult for us to kind of replace ourselves in the next generation.
00:08:20.840And then lastly, the beast is metaphysical in the sense that by the end of the book, I've kind of concluded that the evil that we saw unleashed on the world in 2020, I couldn't explain it in any normal political human history.
00:08:39.980It was too massive, too coordinated, too impressive, too impeccable, you know, all these leaders saying the same things in lockstep.
00:08:50.140And so I kind of reluctantly concluded there really was such thing as, you know, these metaphysical dark forces that kind of returned to the earth in my analysis, drawing on someone else's work.
00:09:35.180People who thought they were very tolerant and egalitarian were very happy to allow the ugliest kind of Jim Crow type laws to be reestablished overnight in America.
00:10:00.500They are all the beast, as you say, metaphysical in terms of the expansive symbols that are, you know, that are evoked here.
00:10:14.000When you talk about you as a longtime liberal, progressive, you know, a lefty, suddenly you're looking at all of your friends, many of them and associates in New York primarily.
00:10:33.840And you suddenly find out that they're not quite as tolerant as you thought they were.
00:10:42.180And they're suddenly, and by the way, all of us are discovering we knew that on the right, people who are conservative really didn't like them, but didn't really hate them.
00:10:56.240I didn't have any desire to run them to ground or even in the sense of Donald Trump.
00:11:07.880They're chanting, lock her up, referring, of course, to Hillary Clinton.
00:11:10.960And you can see the president, Blanche, cringe at the very thought.
00:11:17.140And he decided upon being president not to prosecute her, even though she was clearly guilty of a number of felonies and acts against the interests of the United States.
00:11:28.420I mean, it would have been entirely rational and some would argue still entirely appropriate.
00:11:34.660But then to see him as he steps out as this former president, and all of a sudden they've got, they are after blood, they want him imprisoned.
00:11:48.160And now Benny Thompson, the head of the J6 committee, he wants him killed.
00:11:53.140He wants to eliminate his Secret Service protection.
00:11:56.660This is ignorance of a level that I never dreamed we'd see, period.
00:12:01.420But certainly in this moment, to see this happening, our children, every one of us watching this, there is no such thing as tolerance on the part of the left.
00:12:15.860Well, that's unfortunately, that's true for the most part.
00:12:18.900I mean, obviously, you know, people on the left who are rank and file, there are many good people still who are horrified at what the leaders of the left and the leadership of the left and the policies of the left have become.
00:12:36.500But they're not very vocal, you know, because they're afraid of being canceled.
00:12:39.580So, I mean, I have a beloved relative and I'm going to go visit her.
00:12:45.540And I, you know, I was just on some major conservative personality shows and she asked me not to mention that, you know, because she doesn't want to be ousted by her little network of other liberals.
00:13:01.780And it's like, that's not, that's not the kind of liberals, that's not the liberalism that I was proud of being, you know, that was open-minded and engaged in open debate and free speech and respected that people had differences in opinions.
00:13:17.840That's a just really totalitarian version of liberalism that's really not liberalism anymore.
00:13:30.540That said, you know, as I always say at these moments, Mr. Dobbs, partisanship is never going to save us because look what happened in Congress.
00:13:40.600You know, both the Republicans and the Democrats in Congress were waving Ukrainian flags treasonously in our sacred civic space after sending billions of our tax dollars to a country that isn't a democracy.
00:13:58.140You know, and that, and meanwhile, veterans are waiting six months to get treated for PTSD.
00:14:06.280I mean, it's not a left versus right corruption right now, although the left is particularly egregious.
00:14:13.140It really is kind of populist, patriotic nationalists realizing that genocidal maniacs who are elites are really trying to enslave and injure them.
00:14:29.460And this comes from, this transcends partisanship.
00:14:34.240We're talking with Naomi Wolf facing the beast as she puts it courage, faith, and resistance at a new dark age.
00:14:43.420And we're starting to get a sense of just how dark.
00:14:46.900We'll be right back with Naomi Wolf and facing the beast.
00:14:52.600Folks, you know I beg everyone to get ready for the next crisis, and when it comes, our lives will likely change overnight, whether it's natural disaster, war, or another disease.
00:15:07.480We saw what happened in 2020 when we found ourselves dependent on global supply chains.
00:15:12.700We're still dependent on China and other countries for more than 90% of all our pharmaceuticals.
00:15:17.480With clusters of respiratory illnesses popping up around the world and here, we need to be prepared.
00:15:24.220And now is the time to make certain you have what your family needs when the next crisis hits.
00:15:30.100Our good friends, Dr. Peter McCullough and Dr. Drew Penske over at the Wellness Company have put together just what you and I need with the Wellness Company's medical emergency kit.
00:15:39.500And now the Wellness Company's medical kit provides a solution critical to you and your loved ones.
00:15:45.000This emergency kit includes eight life-saving medications including amoxicillin, Z-Pak, and ivermectin for you to keep on hand along with a guidebook for safe use.
00:15:55.600From tick bites to biochemical events, every medical scenario is covered.
00:17:05.260There's a totalitarian streak now on the left, whether it be Barack Obama.
00:17:10.680No president had ever, ever gone after journalists the way his administration did.
00:17:16.900No administration had ever dealt directly and legitimized Iran as he did.
00:17:22.320And has, he's institutionalized that legitimacy that he sought.
00:17:28.320And this president, Biden, has just completely embraced it without knowing anything about what to do when suddenly missiles and rockets and drones are flying toward their targets in Israel.
00:17:50.340I mean, this issue of who suppresses liberty.
00:17:57.040I mean, first of all, I just want to say for the record, I do still think of myself as a liberal, but, but I'm one of like three people left on the planet who are classical 19th century liberals.
00:18:06.640Because in that time it meant, you know, as I said, civil rights, equal rights, rule of law, First Amendment, freedom of speech, you know.
00:18:23.520I did walk away from the Democrats, just like I haven't embraced the Republicans.
00:18:27.740But, you know, this may be annoying, Mr. Dobbs, but I will always at a moment like this say, yes, Obama was a catastrophe in terms of civil liberties.
00:18:38.120I was one of the few journalists, maybe the only American journalist I know, to go to Guantanamo six months into his administration.
00:18:45.680He had promised, as a campaign promised, to close Guantanamo.
00:18:49.300And when I was there, they were building it up massively, building it up.
00:19:00.480And I remember how frustrating it was that even at that time, liberals didn't want to hear my warnings about that because he was our guy.
00:19:07.660Right. And liberals do have this blind spot that we're good people, so we can't ever do anything that's bad.
00:19:15.960Right. And there's Barack Obama with a kill list.
00:19:18.960And, you know, a wish to it was under his administration that the National Defense Authorization Act was extended that allowed the president to keep journalists or anyone without charge of trial indefinitely, which most Americans don't know.
00:19:35.700But who set the stage for that was George Bush Jr.
00:19:39.480And in the wake of 9-11 and, you know, with the launch of the Global War on Terror, that's when the surveillance state really got firmly established.
00:19:50.540That's when people began to be detained, you know, unduly, without due process.
00:19:57.680That's when there were people who are critics of the administration were called subversives or extremists.
00:20:11.560We've really got to understand whatever our views are, that it's a party's not going to save us.
00:20:18.220We have to save ourselves. And our founders knew that. Right.
00:20:21.020They they set it up so that it is it is we who are supposed to impeach, get rid of, prosecute our leaders when they stop stop defending our liberties.
00:20:31.760That's that's that's that's in our founding documents.
00:20:34.660So I just I want to agree with you that Obama was a nightmare.
00:20:38.980But I will always annoyingly point out that it's it's, you know, history shows that totalitarians on the left and fascists on the right take the same steps to suppress liberties.
00:20:53.840If you give them a chance, they'll do it.
00:20:55.680Well, honestly, you can't offend me or worry about whether or not I would resent you bringing up George Bush, because I was blackballed over my career by two White Houses, one and all of them from 2000 to 2000.
00:21:11.740And the two presidents of the 2000 decade.
00:21:15.720And that was George Bush, blackballed me, because I insisted that that he named the enemy radical Islamist rather than terror.
00:21:24.160And and Barack Obama, because I I insisted on actually securing our borders, actually maintaining a lawful immigration regime and insisting that we call them what they are.
00:21:40.420Legally, the term is illegal alien and a few other offenses against the the administration.
00:21:47.580How prescient, how prescient both those positions seem now.
00:21:51.600Well, you know, I you know, it seemed obvious, frankly, to me at the time.
00:21:56.240And and I think it did to many people who didn't speak out on the issue.
00:22:00.720But the reality is that there's no we've been dealing with a deep state for a very long time.
00:22:08.220The Patriot Act that you refer to with George Bush's administration.
00:22:13.340I mean, that is the foundation of the surveillance state that we have today.
00:22:21.420You couldn't even begin to think that the Pentagon Papers would be released by The Times or The Post if indeed they had the strictures that we do now.
00:22:31.700And that should sober everyone up quickly.
00:22:37.420And people don't want to admit that our government lied to them from the 50s on, particularly the CIA, about what was Vietnam and that sad, tragic course that it followed.
00:22:50.320But it was pure deceit on the part of the government.
00:22:53.740Deceit that I think is still well in place and invigorated.
00:23:00.740I actually thought you were going to go back to I was braced for it that you were going to go back to President Lincoln in suspending habeas corpus during the Civil War.
00:23:10.180And, you know, then fast forward, most people, it's been so erased from history.
00:23:17.020I didn't know until I was, you know, well past what I should have learned about it, that there was a coup attempt in the in the in the 40s, I believe, by a group of very respected American businessmen who admired what was going on.
00:23:35.120Perhaps it was the 30s. I may have my decade wrong, but Smedley Butler exposed it and they admired Mussolini.
00:23:42.360They admired Hitler. They thought that was all great.
00:23:44.620And they wanted to see something similar in the United States.
00:23:50.460You know, I think we're in a time and it relates to themes in the book when the scales are really falling from our eyes.
00:23:56.120And, you know, I miss the pre 2020 time when I believed that even though there were some bad apples, most journalists were trying to tell the truth.
00:24:06.440Right. The Washington Post and the New York Times were trying to do a first a reasonable first draft of history.
00:24:12.360I believe that, you know, sure, there was corruption, but most of our institutions were solid.
00:24:18.140Our hospitals wouldn't try to murder people.
00:24:20.500Our schools wouldn't be abusing children.
00:24:22.400And then all of that got inverted in 2020 and, you know, to the present.
00:24:27.900And I really do think we're in a time this relates to the metaphysical nature of the time we're in, where literally all around us, history we thought we knew turns out to be a sham.
00:24:39.040Right. We see the erasure of history happening before our eyes right now and the reinscribing of new false histories, you know, happening in real time.
00:24:47.660And we see that we can't trust the science. We can't trust our doctors. We can't trust our hospitals.
00:24:54.580We can't trust the schools wanted to suffocate our children and keep them from learning language and, you know, remotely educate them because they've been bribed, you know, on and on and on.
00:25:03.540The corruption is endless. So, yeah, it's not new.
00:25:06.660But I do think we're we're seeing the depth of it in a uniquely transparent way right now for reasons I can't explain in normal terms.
00:25:19.220We are a nation now in great duress, distress.
00:25:25.180Yes. We are a nation that is at a historical point.
00:25:32.100You know, the easy statement is it's an inflection point.
00:25:37.260But we do know that we've been destabilized as a society and a nation to such an extent that Barack Obama can, with his his Marxist friends, brag about achieving what he intended.
00:25:52.220And that was, as he announced, the fundamental transformation of America.
00:25:56.680We just have to be sure that we can find some constraint against how far that that transformation goes, fundamental or otherwise.
00:26:06.260Naomi Wolf, thank you for being with us here.
