Hello, everybody. I'm Lou Dobbs and welcome to The Great America Show. Great to have you with us.
00:00:35.440
President Trump exonerated in special counsel John Durham's report on the origins of Crossfire
00:00:42.120
Hurricane, the Russia collusion hoax. But why didn't Durham charge DOJ and FBI officials and agents?
00:00:51.540
That'll be debated by historians for decades to come, as will the role of the corporatist news media
00:00:57.840
that facilitated and supported the conspiracy to overthrow President Trump. That conspiracy led
00:01:05.300
by the Marxist Dems and the Deep State, originated by Hillary Clinton and her campaign, complicit
00:01:12.360
throughout the left-wing national corporatist media. The two largest and most politically powerful
00:01:19.300
newspapers, The New York Times and Washington Post, both received Pulitzers for their reporting,
00:01:25.960
their coverage of the Russia collusion hoax. Still, to this day, they haven't acknowledged
00:01:32.620
their complicity in the conspiracy and the plot to destroy Donald Trump as candidate and president.
00:01:40.140
And to this point, they're not heeding the calls of both Republicans and Democrats
00:01:44.460
to return those Pulitzer prizes. In fact, the Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post put out a statement
00:01:52.240
saying the Post stands by its reporting, the Post standing by its reporting of lies. No wonder
00:01:58.540
the fake news is held in such low regard by a large majority of Americans. President Trump
00:02:05.300
benefiting by the special counsel's devastating assessment of both the FBI and DOJ, declaring that
00:02:12.600
no investigation of Trump should have even been started. And the latest polling from Morning Consult
00:02:19.240
has President Trump polling at 61 percent among Republican primary voters, 45 points ahead of
00:02:27.080
second-place Ron DeSantis. President Trump is well on his way to the 2024 nomination and ultimately
00:02:33.940
the 2024 presidency. I believe most of us would say he deserves that for being cheated out of his
00:02:40.820
re-election in 2020. Turning now to an issue that 2024 voters might find troubling,
00:02:47.340
the wokening of our military, as if the U.S. Navy hasn't had enough backlash from their use of a drag queen
00:02:54.820
to promote Navy recruitment. The Navy's Office of Naval Intelligence hosting a party, an intelligence
00:03:02.060
community, quote, pride ally engagement, end quote, event. The purpose of the event was to use inclusive
00:03:10.760
language to reflect the existence of transgender, non-binary, and intersex individuals.
00:03:17.060
End quote. I kid you not. Our guest today is the best-known U.S. Navy SEAL, and this American
00:03:24.940
hero has had enough of just how woke the military has become, in particular, the U.S. Navy. Our guest
00:03:32.960
is Rob O'Neill, former SEAL Team 6 and host of the Operator Podcast. Rob, it's great to have you back
00:03:39.880
with us on The Great America Show. Thank you for having me, Lou. I appreciate it.
00:03:43.820
We appreciate your time. I have to compliment you, first off. Your tweet on fabulous versus ferocious,
00:03:52.340
if you could share that with our audience. What I came up with is that as far, the pillars of our
00:03:59.840
Navy, especially, are forward defense, alliance, solidarity, and deterrence. And the best way to
00:04:05.620
avoid a war is to look tough. And, you know, and then now we have a drag queen apparently doing our
00:04:10.400
recruiting. And I said, we need to be ferocious, not fabulous. And that's the whole, that kind of
00:04:15.280
sums it all up right there. And again, it's, as far as recruiting, we're going to get the best to serve
00:04:20.860
and the best retention, as long as we promote what the military is supposed to do. And that is defense.
00:04:25.920
And if we need to fight, and that's that. And, you know, I think everyone did what I did when they
00:04:33.140
read your tweet, just laughed out loud. It was terrific. It was also so spot on because what the
00:04:41.560
Navy is going through now with a, as you put it, a drag queen who is fabulous as a recruiting
00:04:49.580
ambassador makes to me absolutely no sense. What has happened to the military? Because it's not
00:04:57.400
just the Navy. All of the services seem to be missing their recruiting goals. They don't seem
00:05:03.440
to see any correlation between awful leadership at the very top. I'm talking about civilian leadership,
00:05:09.980
as well as general staff officers. It's horrible. What are we going to do?
00:05:16.180
Well, we're, we've been missing our recruiting goals for a while. And it's precisely because
00:05:20.880
of this woke stuff. And because of the, the, just some of the nonsense training, like you can't go
00:05:26.380
on your, this combat deployment until you fill out a command climate survey. So we know how everyone's
00:05:31.840
feeling, stuff like that. I saw it when I was leaving the Navy in 2012. They're, they're just having
00:05:38.460
us do training that is unnecessary. It's, it's, it's little things that we don't need that we already
00:05:42.160
know. But we saw it happening then, but then it builds up with the wokeness and then with
00:05:47.700
the vaccine mandate and they're kicking people out for, I had guys that were leaving and we're
00:05:52.960
talking almost to 20 years as Navy SEALs that were getting out early because they couldn't take the
00:05:57.420
poor leadership at the very top. I'm not talking the mid-level leadership. We're talking the guys
00:06:01.720
in DC that, you know, park at the Pentagon, go in and get one of their very expensive espressos,
00:06:06.080
and then talk about how cool they are. They're just, we're making bad decision based on, on
00:06:10.600
political reasons. And it comes from the top because when you get to a certain level as an
00:06:14.820
officer, you want to either get your next star or you want to get, uh, become a Senator or get
00:06:19.860
your really good job at a Booz Allen Hamilton. So you're going to say what the politicians want you
00:06:24.040
to say. And the politicians want you to be woke because they want to get reelected. And it's,
00:06:27.980
it's a vicious cycle. We would see this happening in Bagram airfield, where there's people there
00:06:32.720
that don't need to be making decisions. We would call them the self-licking ice cream cone. They're
00:06:37.340
just there and that's it. I've never heard that one, but I, let me gather myself up here just for
00:06:45.780
just a moment there, Rob. Uh, let's talk about those fabulous leaders in the Pentagon. And I, I'm
00:06:54.320
thinking about Lloyd Austin, the secretary of defense. I'm thinking about, uh, Mark Milley, uh, the chairman
00:07:01.340
of the joint chiefs of staff. I have never seen so much ideology and woke attitude on the part of
00:07:10.400
anyone in the department of defense previously. This is, this is a Pentagon that is an embarrassment,
00:07:17.760
uh, to, I think to all of us, uh, your thoughts. Well, with, as far as, uh, the chairman of the joint
00:07:25.760
chiefs of staff, Mark Milley, he first came out saying he didn't know what white rage is and he wants
00:07:30.000
to understand it. That's an issue right there because, um, that's not an issue in the military.
00:07:35.120
I, I served, I served with, with white guys, black guys, Asians. I served, I know damn well,
00:07:40.800
some of my guys were gay. None of us cared about any of that stuff. All we cared about is if I get
00:07:46.240
shot and I'm still wearing my gear, can you carry me back to my family? And that's it. And then you get
00:07:51.260
with this, uh, the drag queen again, the chairman of the joint chiefs saying, uh, well, I didn't know
00:07:56.300
that was happening. If you don't know the digital recruiting of one of the branches of service,
00:08:00.700
what else don't you know that's happening? I mean, that's a very minute thing that you would think
00:08:05.580
not only would your junior leader squash, but they would at least inform you, Hey, someone thought
00:08:10.240
this was a good idea. And I just want to let you know, sir, that I canceled it. It's a remarkable
00:08:15.320
time we live in, isn't it? Because we're pretending that our puppet president isn't impaired and isn't
00:08:22.160
run by a Marxist cabal of some sort, uh, that also runs a democratic party. Uh, we're pretending
00:08:29.660
that Lloyd Austin, uh, is, uh, a distinguished leader of the United States military, the most
00:08:35.800
powerful in the world. And that the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, uh, he isn't really
00:08:41.360
having a, he isn't really being ghosted by his Chinese counterparts, which he is. Uh, this
00:08:48.560
is a point. This looks to me like the lowest point I can remember for the U S military, uh,
00:08:56.220
in our, in our history, our modern history, certainly. Yeah, this is, uh, and they're
00:09:01.720
pretending they don't see the socialist communist Marxist stuff happening that actually started
00:09:05.320
happening maybe 60 years ago under the, uh, the Soviet union, not Russia. And they were calling it
00:09:10.520
the demoralization of a population. It's a, it's a standard KGB tactic where the, uh, ideological,
00:09:16.320
um, subversion, you, you, you, you, in, you come inside and then you make people want to hate each
00:09:22.260
other, hate your country and think you're bad. And it, that the first part of it, the ideological
00:09:26.880
subversion, they said it takes about 20 years to, to have it take effect. And back in 1984, when,
00:09:32.800
uh, Yuri Bezmanov was a KGB officer was interviewed. He said, it's already happening. And that's in 1984.
00:09:37.940
And it's a result of communism coming in here, filling us with bad ideas and, and biff, bam,
00:09:44.100
boom, it's 2023. And we have people up there dressed like Darth Vader because of, uh, of a COVID
00:09:49.360
virus that China started. And then we're trying to wonder which bathroom should we all use?
00:09:55.020
It's extraordinary. And to think that this military, uh, we have a huge budget, but we have
00:10:03.100
carriers that cost $20 billion and still aren't fighting ships. And I'm talking about the Gerald
00:10:08.260
Ford, uh, debacle, uh, that the aircraft carrier folks, uh, that took what 20 years to get to the,
00:10:16.500
to get on station. Uh, we are just watching every kind of, uh, of evidence of incompetence, uh, and in
00:10:26.160
the, in the military. I don't trust the admirals to put together a plan for a ship. Uh, we are,
00:10:32.840
I don't trust the air force to get caught up on hypersonic missiles right now. And the military
00:10:38.520
industrial complex is having its way, uh, with the Pentagon budget, I think.
00:10:44.120
Well, that's, that's definitely happening. And I mean, they can't account for 60% of their assets.
00:10:49.600
And the thing with the military industrial complex, when I, when I first joined the military in 1996,
00:10:55.360
I didn't want to believe that was real, but now, you know, that I'm out for a long time and looking
00:11:00.980
back, the realization I've come up with as far as, and I've seen fraud, waste and abuse based on
00:11:05.800
contracts. And the whole thing with a budget is if you don't spend exactly or more than, than you did
00:11:09.860
last year, you're not going to get a budget is, um, just because a war ends doesn't mean the
00:11:15.080
contracts do. So we need to keep pumping out tanks and planes and missiles. And that's part of the
00:11:19.520
reason you leave stuff in Afghanistan. And then you start a proxy war somewhere else, or the fear of war
00:11:24.440
somewhere else. So you can keep making all this new stuff. They were talking about sending Abrams
00:11:28.420
tanks, brand new ones to Ukraine, when we already have thousands of them in Europe, just because of
00:11:32.320
our, um, commitment to NATO. But nobody wants to talk about that because if we just start being smart
00:11:37.860
about it, someone's not getting paid. Yeah. Well, getting paid is important. And right now,
00:11:43.120
reports that were munitions, uh, ammunition in short supply across our military. And that should never
00:11:52.520
happen, uh, particularly in peacetime quote unquote. Yeah. There should never be a shortage
00:11:58.380
of anything, especially with our budget, especially with some of the stuff we're wasting money on again,
00:12:03.480
like the training, um, instead of sitting in a, in a, even Navy SEALs sitting in a, in an office space,
00:12:09.300
taking tests about, uh, don't ask, don't tell, um, they should be, you know, come to work,
00:12:15.880
go to the weight room, get breakfast, go to the range, shoot, talk tactics, go to lunch, come back
00:12:19.540
more tactics, go home and then repeat the next day. And it's very, very simple. One, one of the
00:12:24.780
reasons that we were really good as a SEAL team was because, uh, we mastered the basics, get good.
00:12:30.400
Don't, don't overcomplicate everything, master the basics. Like when people ask, they asked me,
00:12:35.440
well, Osama bin Laden's compound was, was big and complex. How did you guys clear it? Uh, so well.
00:12:41.340
And I said, well, what we did is if the guy in front of me went left, I went right. And then we
00:12:45.900
just kept doing that over and over. You make it sound so simple. I love it. Uh, we are talking
00:12:51.860
with Rob O'Neill. He is the host of the operator podcast. We're going to take a quick break and we're
00:12:58.400
going to ask you to stay with us right where you are, because we're coming right back.
00:13:05.440

We're back now with the Operator Podcast, Rob O'Neill. Rob, it is great to have you with us,
00:14:34.320
and thanks so much for coming back to the Great America Show. Let's talk about all that's happening
00:14:41.400
with Ukraine. We find out we do have, it turns out, special forces in Ukraine. Training, we're told,
00:14:49.300
and everyone can put quotes around that. We also find out we've got troops in Sudan. We've got them
00:14:56.360
all over the world. And there's no discussion of it. There's no foreknowledge of it, at least for the
00:15:02.980
American public. How in the world can the Pentagon even keep track of every company, of Marines,
00:15:12.180
every unit of the SEALs, where they are and what they're doing? I mean, they can't, I mean, this is
00:15:18.420
incredible to me to think this country at peace, again, in quotes, with our troops all over the world.
00:15:25.940
It's, you know, it comes with delegation. And again, at the not so senior level of leadership,
00:15:32.220
but like at the SEAL Team 6 level, they're really, really efficient in what they do. And they have
00:15:36.560
an eye on all of their guys. But as far as the public knowing, which we should know, which like
00:15:41.720
the press's job is to tell us what's happening. We've been fighting in Yemen and Somalia. I mean,
00:15:46.320
Somalia says 1993. And we have bases in different places around there. Drone strikes in Yemen. We have
00:15:51.620
troops right now in Syria still. There's troops in Iraq. You know, we don't have eyes on
00:15:55.760
Afghanistan where ISIS is forming up again. But it doesn't surprise me at all to hear that we have
00:16:00.100
troops in Ukraine. I mean, we're at the point now where we have civilians in Ukraine that are
00:16:04.560
former military. We don't know who's funding them. Some of them are self-funding. Some of them are
00:16:09.100
probably contractors all over Africa, you know, different West Africa, Central Africa, Sub-Saharan
00:16:14.360
Africa. And we've got people everywhere. And we're just kind of, I mean, we're spread out. I don't want
00:16:20.740
to say we're spread thin, but I know, you know, I, I got out in 2012, August of 2012, and I'm still
00:16:26.340
tired after 13 deployments. And there's guys that are on my team that are still serving there. I don't
00:16:31.760
know where they are. And I would never, ever put them in danger. And they're doing a great job. I
00:16:35.760
mean, it's a, it's a, it's a round the clock job. And that's not just the shooters. That's talking
00:16:40.520
about you, you need support. You need intelligence. You need a way to get there. You need pilots and air
00:16:45.260
crew. And, you know, because they're not just walking in Syria. They've got the best pilots in the
00:16:49.100
world. And they're fighting ISIS. They're, they're getting spread thin. And again, it's with the,
00:16:53.660
the redundancy. Do we really need people everywhere like this? The war on terror. I mean, we, you know,
00:16:57.900
we tried that for 20 years in Afghanistan. How'd that go? Yeah, it was no wonder. No wonder David
00:17:04.480
Petraeus wrote his famous, famous doctrine, the long war, which became the doctrine for the United
00:17:12.540
States military. The longer the war, the better it is. I always thought that was the dumbest thing I'd
00:17:18.080
ever heard. Yeah, that's, that's not smart. And you'll, yeah, that's the long, no, the shorter
00:17:22.360
the war, the better it is. You should go in, break stuff, kill people, and then leave. I heard a great
00:17:27.120
quote that I wanted to steal. I think yesterday from general Stan McChrystal, who said, you don't
00:17:32.600
get famous for doing things right. You get famous for the one you screw up. Well, he, he should know.
00:17:38.560
I mean, well, he, I still think he was doing it right. I think he was one of our best generals.
00:17:43.220
That's why President Obama had to get rid of him. Yeah, naturally, naturally. He's, well,
00:17:48.920
he and I have a history, so we'll, we'll leave it at that. I'm not sure if he likes me anymore.
00:17:55.520
Well, you know, but the fact is, I respect him for his service, and, and I, and I'm grateful to
00:18:00.920
him for his service. You know, another great quote is, and again, I'm stealing quotes here is,
00:18:05.020
you'd, you wouldn't care what people think of you if you realized how little they do.
00:18:09.160
I like that. I had heard that one, and I'm going to steal it. Absolutely. I stole it from somebody
00:18:14.960
smarter than me. It will, we'll pass it on. I feel a moral commitment to do that. Let's,
00:18:20.540
let's turn to, if we may, to the leadership that is at a top all of this, if you will,
00:18:26.940
the apex leadership, the commander in chief himself. What, what is the military's view?
00:18:35.300
What is your view, most importantly, uh, right now, uh, of this commander in chief?
00:18:41.760
Well, I don't, I don't think he's, he's, uh, up to the job. It seems to me that if you're the
00:18:46.260
president, you can't even address the country without, uh, cue cards and, uh, you know, cheat
00:18:51.160
cards, um, that you shouldn't be doing it. And I mean, he's not making a lot of the calls. We
00:18:56.280
have to be honest with ourselves. And normally I would hope that the people that surround the
00:19:00.980
commander chief are making good decisions, but they're obviously not either. And it's very
00:19:04.620
frustrating for the military there. Um, if, if basically as far as what they're doing right
00:19:10.680
now, and there are military troops getting, you know, in harm's way and we're, we're funding
00:19:16.120
Ukraine basically on foreign policy, if Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi are for it, it's probably
00:19:23.460
And you have a historical evidence to support that, that perspective. I agree a hundred percent.
00:19:29.860
I got to figure who was, who was the only guy in the room that didn't want to approve the
00:19:35.140
Yeah. And, uh, and one of the few things that, well, I'm not going to quote Obama, but Obama
00:19:42.120
I know exactly what that quote is too. And I agree with that.
00:19:45.700
And, uh, and speaking of Obama, many people say this is his third term. You don't suppose
00:19:52.280
I, I don't, nothing surprises me anymore. And there is a audio and video of president Obama
00:19:59.480
saying, if he could find a puppet that could get out there on stage and he makes the calls
00:20:03.200
behind the scene, he would go for a third term. And if you notice when president Obama
00:20:07.160
shows up at the white house, Biden's walking, president Biden is walking around like a lost
00:20:11.680
dog. Nobody wants to shake his hand and, and president Obama commands the room. And you
00:20:15.560
have to admit president Obama's good at that. And, and it's, it wouldn't, it wouldn't surprise
00:20:20.060
me at all. If guys like Barack Obama and Ron Klain are calling the shots with all the staffers.
00:20:24.080
And I mean, they had a, they had a, uh, a secret service guy or somebody in the Easter
00:20:28.540
bunny outfit just to spin him around like a top. So we wouldn't, so the president, God
00:20:34.180
Yeah, exactly. By the way, I'll never, that's one of those things that can't be unseen.
00:20:38.840
The Easter bunny escorting the president across the lawn, uh, at the Easter egg roll. Let's,
00:20:45.980
let's also consider if we may this, this, uh, impaired president and this political
00:20:53.600
environment. And right now there's a surge at the border, 10,000 illegal immigrants that we know of
00:21:00.280
are coming across each day. And that's an all time record high. It's supposed to be more in the
00:21:05.480
days and weeks ahead. But then I think about something you tweeted, which was, you know,
00:21:11.520
you didn't go, and I'm going to paraphrase your tweet, but you didn't go overseas to put up with
00:21:16.180
this. I'll clean it up BS. Uh, but here the BS is, I mean, we are in a heck of a mess when we can't,
00:21:24.380
we send our seals, uh, our, our military all over the world, as we've just talked about,
00:21:34.480
I can't, the only, it's gotta be by, uh, it's gotta be by design. This is planned. And it's,
00:21:40.820
it ultimately comes down to, can we get more voters for the democratic party? Because, um,
00:21:46.440
I mean, both sides of the aisle, let's be honest, they, they care more about their party than they
00:21:49.880
do about, um, their constituents or, or the country itself. Uh, and so they're, they're, uh, I mean,
00:21:55.300
the open border though, it's, it's not just, uh, migrants fleeing oppression, which, you know,
00:22:01.320
I feel for them too. The open border is so dangerous because people from every country are coming here
00:22:06.060
and the fentanyl is not coming from the cartels. It's coming through the cartels from China because
00:22:11.800
China knows if they can kill Americans that way, they can win. If, if China can dumb down our
00:22:16.300
populace, when, when, when countries go to war, they're fighting military aged men. That's it.
00:22:21.360
If they, and again, this goes back to the Soviet union, if they can make our men weak, which if
00:22:25.920
you've been to a college campus and seen those beta males, if you can kill them with, um, with fentanyl
00:22:30.980
and then make sure they're young people are only learning news from tick tock. That's how you win
00:22:36.320
a war. And China's playing the long game. So it's so frustrating to see the open border and no one's
00:22:41.040
being realistic about the national security threat. And as someone who, you know, Al Qaeda and ISIS
00:22:45.740
still don't like me. And if I was coming to get me, I might think about the Southern border. So this
00:22:49.880
concerns, I mean, I'm not worried about myself. I know how to use a shotgun, but this is, this is a
00:22:54.340
national security thing that they're not paying attention to. And, and, but they're just like
00:22:57.660
everything else. They're making it political. How do we get reelected?
00:23:00.980
They're how they get reelected, reappointed while 171 illegal immigrants from 171 countries coming
00:23:10.980
across that border over the course of the past two years. That is to me, a clear signal that we have
00:23:19.460
problems brewing in this country and they're just waiting for opportunities that we undoubtedly will
00:23:25.860
give them. What do you think? Well, yeah, that we're totally giving it to them and not just the
00:23:30.560
terrorist threat, but also the, the cartels love chaos and you're starting to see more chaos in
00:23:35.000
Texas. Uh, and I mean, the media is going to spin it. They're going to spin everything that it's
00:23:40.920
their agenda, but you know, you got guys in trucks running over people at a bus stop, you got mass
00:23:46.400
shootings and you know, they're going to say it's one side or the other, but the cartels love this
00:23:50.720
stuff. And as long as we don't have our eye on what's actually happening and we're not telling the
00:23:55.540
truth, they're making probably billions on human trafficking, on the drug trade, uh, on the
00:24:00.340
violence and, and it's making them stronger. That's right. That hurts us. That hurts Mexico. That hurts
00:24:04.660
Central America, which initially, I mean, it, it, it affects security all over the planet.
00:24:09.700
It is a national security issue. We're talking with Rob O'Neill, the host of the operator podcast,
00:24:15.660
and Rob will stay here with us on the great America show through this commercial break,
00:24:20.940
as I hope you will, we'll be right back and we're going to take up, why don't we hear more about
00:24:36.100
We're back with Rob O'Neill. He's the host of the operator podcast, Rob, let's turn to the cartels.
00:24:43.340
President Trump famously had been considering, uh, using military force against the cartels
00:24:49.900
unilaterally, if necessary, these cartels have basically taken control of both sides of our
00:24:56.880
Southern border. Uh, and that's quite a, a range because it's a 2000 mile long border and in the
00:25:03.700
South and to the North, people are afraid of the cartels. Your thoughts. Well, I mean, the cartels are,
00:25:11.680
they're serious and they're, they're essentially a very well organized, several very well organized
00:25:17.040
terrorist organizations that, that people are afraid of and they, and they use very,
00:25:21.540
very violent force. And we, I mean, we've seen them all the way up to, uh, Long Island with, uh,
00:25:25.440
MS-13. Um, and I mean, unfortunately the way you need to deal with them is possibly military force,
00:25:31.240
but nobody seems to want to do that. They're, they're shooting at our border agents with impunity.
00:25:36.500
I mean, we send troops down there right now and they're not even sure if they can engage if they
00:25:39.440
get shot at across a border. That's obviously an international incident, but the, I mean,
00:25:43.940
the locals on both sides of the border in Mexico, they're so scared of the cartels. They don't want
00:25:47.680
to stand up to them because you've seen the awful stuff that, uh, that they do. I, we, we saw recently
00:25:52.260
an incident with some Americans that crossed the Mexican border to get surgery. And I think they
00:25:57.740
killed two of the four and those were cartel guys, but it was, it was, it raised so much attention to
00:26:04.140
the, the, to us here in the United States, the cartels actually killed those guys and
00:26:08.660
like left a note on them saying, Hey, we're sorry about that one because they, they know
00:26:12.040
that if they, we, we know what they're doing, but if they kind of keep it away from the American
00:26:16.160
public, then there won't be the outrage. And that's how violent they are. They're going
00:26:19.360
to kill their own. It's, it's a, it's like, uh, um, you know, one of the, uh, wild, wild
00:26:23.980
dogs in, in Africa gets wounded. The rest of the dogs eat him cause he's weak.
00:26:27.880
Right. Well, and in this instance that you're describing, the cartels were upset because
00:26:32.120
not because they killed the, the Americans, but because they did so without orders and
00:26:37.940
approval. That was the great sin, uh, for them. Yeah. And you're exactly right. Uh, the more
00:26:44.680
that violence impends, uh, uh, impedes on American citizens as it is right now in El Paso, uh, and
00:26:53.980
across the Texas border, Arizona, uh, New Mexico, less, less California. Uh, there will be a
00:27:01.200
reaction at some point, I think, but what surprises me, Rob, is that there's been very
00:27:06.440
little outcry, very little outrage that we have, that this Biden administration has surrendered
00:27:13.100
our Southern border and the properties North of that border to the cartels.
00:27:20.900
Well, you don't hear any outcry until it, until it affects, um, until it affects people
00:27:26.920
like a lot of people in Martha's vineyard, didn't care about people in Texas until they
00:27:31.820
bust a bunch of migrants, nonviolent migrants to Martha's vineyard. And then all of a sudden
00:27:35.460
it's like, well, not in my backyard. And then they're busting them out within 24 hours. And
00:27:40.020
all they're saying is we're so happy to help you on your journey. It's like your journey,
00:27:43.520
you're, you're just lying to yourselves. And it's eventually it's going to affect everyone
00:27:48.120
just like a lot of, and not, I mean, even liberal policies, but at least leftist policies
00:27:53.120
where it looked at, look at defund the police. And all of a sudden there's rampant violence
00:27:56.640
and you got mayors like Lori Lightfoot saying, well, anyone who said defund the police is
00:28:00.920
way out of line. It's like, that was you 2020. That's all you said. And now look at all the
00:28:05.480
violence. Well, it wasn't on my watch. It's, it's almost like if you own the media and you
00:28:10.660
can say anything without ever being held your feet to the fire, they're going to keep doing
00:28:15.920
it, but eventually it's going to come home. The chickens come home to roost.
00:28:19.080
And talking about, well, I would say elite leadership and Lori Lightfoot, we are watching
00:28:29.780
a crime wave that that's unprecedented across this country because of George Soros sponsored
00:28:35.600
district attorneys who will not, you know, will not keep a felon in jail, will not have to post
00:28:42.980
bond and will be released. And, and meanwhile, the police department doesn't want to have to
00:28:48.940
go to the trouble of arresting people who are not going to be prosecuted and communities are
00:28:53.400
living in fear. This country, as you put it, the cartels love chaos. So does the Marxist
00:29:05.340
Well, a lot of, a lot of things are funded by George Soros and his people of a lot of the,
00:29:10.080
a lot of the, the DAs are funded, but so are the activists that are on call and paid.
00:29:17.500
As soon as something happens and they, they unleash the fury, you got people standing all
00:29:22.400
over train tracks in New York city. And that's, it's not because, and these are, these are,
00:29:26.100
these are people that are hired activists. I see them at, in front of news buildings in every,
00:29:30.420
every Tuesday in New York, they're paid there. They show up eight to five for 50 bucks a piece.
00:29:34.460
And then they leave and they're not sure what they're doing. But speaking of New York, I have
00:29:38.540
friends that were NYPD and some that are NYPD, some left because it's like, I'm not doing this
00:29:45.640
job. This is ridiculous. And others that are there, not only are they not arresting criminals
00:29:51.260
because they know they'll get let out that day, which they will. They know with all these videos,
00:29:56.220
if they arrest them, they're going to get prosecuted. And then if a cop gets arrested for,
00:30:00.140
for, uh, you know, beating up, uh, or whatever police brutality is as the quote unquote police
00:30:05.220
brutality, the criminal is going to get out that the cops going to be the one in jail. It's like,
00:30:08.820
it's not even worth it. And it again, all by design, all, all funded by people that want,
00:30:14.340
I mean, a lot of these people that love chaos know that the world is very, very strong with a strong
00:30:20.200
America. But if we can bring them down that beacon of freedom, you know, the whole great reset for the
00:30:25.620
people that are actually in charge can, can take over. Give us, if you will,
00:30:30.140
your sense of where this country is right now with all the, the madness that is our society,
00:30:35.840
uh, with the weakness that is our government, uh, give us a sense of where we are right now in the
00:30:42.880
world, a national security perspective, geopolitical perspective, uh, from your vantage point.
00:30:49.900
Well, the issue is the lawmakers, I would say the people in charge, but that's giving them too much
00:30:54.220
credit. The lawmakers are there for the dirty politics that gets them there. But I, I,
00:30:59.980
I travel a lot. I fly around this country. I give speeches, I give talks and stuff like that.
00:31:03.440
And I talked to thousands of people a week personally, but we don't hear from them,
00:31:07.280
but the majority of people are good. And barring a couple of issues, most of the people I talk to
00:31:13.140
anyway, are in agreement with a lot of the stuff. So the, the base of the country's there, um,
00:31:17.680
they're just not being heard from. And, and it's hard to get anything through when, again,
00:31:21.780
with the controlled media that the, okay, I'm stealing quotes. So I might as well,
00:31:25.000
speaking of New York, steal one of Babe Ruth's. He said, the loudest booze come from the cheapest
00:31:29.720
seats. So we're hearing from, we're hearing from the loud people trying to cause chaos,
00:31:36.180
especially, I don't know if you go on Twitter, but that that's nothing but negativity. But when
00:31:40.960
you get outside, like put the phone down, get outside, talk to neighbors, people are good.
00:31:45.100
And the country's good. And we're, we're there. It's just, there are people in other places.
00:31:49.300
A lot of them, not even citizens, just for some reason, trying to destroy this so they can get
00:31:52.920
more personal power, more personal power, and nobody seeks it more than, uh, than Joe Biden.
00:32:00.040
Today, uh, uh, James Comer with his investigative committee, the house oversight committee,
00:32:06.660
releasing evidence of, uh, the, the export of $10 million to the Biden family, just in one,
00:32:15.480
uh, transaction. Uh, it turned into multiple transaction, but one deal, uh, what we're watching
00:32:22.580
right now is the, the validation by the house investigation, that this is a crime family in
00:32:30.600
the white house. Uh, I, I never dreamed that we would see something this bad, this pervasive,
00:32:36.680
uh, through our, through the, in the white house and throughout the federal government in point of
00:32:41.660
It, I mean, it doesn't surprise me. Joe Biden's been, um, in, um, government for 50 years. So
00:32:48.720
he's been making a government salary. How many multimillion dollar homes does he own? The proof's
00:32:53.040
right there. You can't afford it on a salary like that. And then something that struck me as odd,
00:32:58.340
and I don't even have a college degree is that, uh, there's what this 15 or 20 different LLCs that
00:33:03.940
they started so they could move money around. And to start an LLC is like eight bucks and one piece
00:33:08.160
of paper. And the easiest place to set up an LLC is Delaware. I mean, even for a guy like me that
00:33:13.020
was enlisted in the Navy, you can kind of see some odd here and all they need to do to, to get
00:33:18.220
layered other than LLCs is just funnel the money through Hunter Biden and his associates. And it's,
00:33:22.660
it's the most obvious thing in the world, but then, uh, you know, the, the, the mainstream media
00:33:26.720
just puts the shiny object up here. Hey, look at me, look at me. And then they won't report it and
00:33:31.020
they'll flat out lie to you. And then you have like the white house press secretary that doesn't know
00:33:35.060
what she's talking about, but that doesn't matter. And no one really pays attention to what's going
00:33:38.700
on. But I mean, if I can see something that obvious with all these different LLCs, the state
00:33:42.600
of Delaware, all the money, the fact that, I mean, I I've been to Ukraine in the nineties by far the
00:33:47.920
most corrupt country on the planet, without on the planet, but definitely in Europe. And then all of a
00:33:52.260
sudden, well, we're on the side of Ukraine. Why? Because maybe we're going to find something out.
00:33:56.600
Well, we're going to find something out. And, uh, it's pretty clear that, uh, the Biden family had a
00:34:02.680
big interest in Ukraine. We know that it was, we know as of, uh, now, thanks to the house oversight
00:34:08.920
committee that the Biden family were beneficiaries of, uh, Romanian, uh, and Chinese, uh, interests.
00:34:15.540
Yeah. We can't wait to see what other countries, and apparently there are quite a few other countries
00:34:20.600
in which they had favored felons, uh, with which to do business. Robert O'Neill, you are a terrific
00:34:27.800
guest. We appreciate your generosity of time and your, and your thoughts here today on the
00:34:32.860
Great America Show. Thanks for being with us. And we always give our guests, uh, the last word,
00:34:37.820
your concluding thoughts, if you will. Well, I, I, I'm just going to say, thanks again,
00:34:42.120
Lou, for having me. It's always wonderful to talk with you. Uh, you inspire me to quote somebody else.
00:34:46.460
That was fun. Well, you know what I'm, and I'm quoting you. So I think we've, uh, we've reached,
00:34:53.780
uh, at least a balanced, uh, conclusion here. Uh, we appreciate you being with us. Thanks so much.
00:34:58.680
Rob O'Neill. Thanks, Lou. Rob O'Neill, host of the Operator Podcast and truly a great American.
