00:00:30.000 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 1.00

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 1.00

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 1.00

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 0.62

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? 0.98

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 This is a warning, my fellow Americans, the news just broke and it's grim. The banking collapse of

00:13:12.020 2023 is now more devastating than the banking collapse of 2008. First Republic, PacWest, Silicon

00:13:20.060 Bank, just a few of the latest casualties in this banking crisis. And don't wait for the email

00:14:28.100 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 1.00

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 1.00

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 0.86

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 1.00

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

00:19:20.820 a horrible idea.

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

00:19:33.280 bin Laden raid. It was Joe Biden.

00:19:35.140 Yeah. And, uh, and one of the few things that, well, I'm not going to quote Obama, but Obama

00:19:40.000 had, uh, Joe Biden figured out.

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

00:19:51.380 it's true.

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

00:20:32.660 forbid, talk to the press.

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,

00:21:30.380 but we won't defend our own border.

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 1.00

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 0.98

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 0.95

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 0.99

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 0.93

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

00:24:26.960 those Mexican drug cartels? Stay with us. 0.92

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 0.97

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

00:29:01.960 political party, it seems.

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

00:32:41.360 fact.

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

00:34:46.460 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.
