00:00:00.000 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Great America podcast with Lou Dobbs,
00:00:04.200 always in the fight for truth, justice, and yes, our American way of life.
00:00:09.240 And now here he is, the Peabody award-winning voice of truth, the great Lou Dobbs.
00:00:14.340 Hello, everybody, and welcome to this edition of The Great America Show.
00:00:18.180 We appreciate you being with us. A lot of developments in Ukraine,
00:00:22.220 most unfortunately, are not positive, not good for Ukraine as its people fight for their nation's
00:00:28.180 survival against the Russian army and Putin's missiles, rockets, bombs, and artillery.
00:00:34.880 And Putin has also now sent in hundreds of paid professional mercenaries to seek out and
00:00:40.300 assassinate Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky and his top government officials.
00:00:46.220 We'll be taking up all of this with our special guest today, who has served in a broad range of
00:00:51.500 government posts with a broad range of responsibilities. Our guest is Kash Patel,
00:00:57.120 a great American. His views are always illuminating and insightful. But first,
00:01:02.900 let's take a look at where we are in the Russian invasion of Ukraine. As of today,
00:01:09.280 the European Union is taking the lead in the West's response to Russia's attacks and Putin's decision to
00:01:16.660 put Russia's nuclear weapons forces on high alert. And the EU is leading. This is an extraordinary
00:01:24.260 development, ladies and gentlemen, because for the first time, the EU is standing heads and shoulders
00:01:31.420 above the national leaders. Boris Johnson and the other leaders have taken a back seat.
00:01:39.380 Even historically neutral Switzerland is stepping up to help the Ukrainians fight off the invading
00:01:45.180 Russians. Russian and Ukrainian invoids did meet on the border with Belarus. Nothing was accomplished,
00:01:51.920 as expected. But they did agree to continue their talks. That was not expected at all. Some of the
00:01:59.660 Ukrainian cities, including Kiev, are taking heavy punishment from Russian forces. But Putin has to
00:02:06.300 be surprised that the Ukrainians are not only holding out against the Russian military, but also gaining
00:02:11.960 support of what has been heretofore a fractured and passive EU and NATO. They're coming together to
00:02:19.960 defend Ukraine. And Putin has been forced to find another calculus with which to consider his options,
00:02:26.500 including perhaps withdrawal of his forces. His strategic partner, Xi Jinping, must understand
00:02:34.340 that he too has made an immense miscalculation and that the West now will forcefully meet all threats
00:02:41.500 that the two despots, Putin and Xi, can muster. And there is an emerging new world order,
00:02:47.900 but an unusual picture is being revealed. Not the one that Putin and Xi sought after the Russian
00:02:56.240 invasion, but a new center of gravity that has suddenly formed in Europe, given the retreat of
00:03:02.380 the American president, the courage of the Ukrainian president, and his steadfast, steadfast loyalty to his
00:03:11.720 defenders of Ukraine. And of course, the resolve of the Europeans to stop Putin's brutal
00:03:18.200 aggression. Now joining us is Kash Patel. He's an attorney who served as former chief of staff
00:03:24.380 to the secretary of defense, deputy assistant to the president, senior director of counterterrorism at
00:03:30.780 the National Security Council, and the National Security Advisor and senior counsel to the House
00:03:38.600 permanent select committee on intelligence. I got all of that out, Kash. It's great to have you with
00:03:44.140 us and to have you here on the Great America Show. Welcome. Lou, thanks so much for having me back. And I
00:03:50.320 appreciate you running through that myriad of government titles, which is just fancy speak for
00:03:54.640 I couldn't get a job in private industry. So I just stuck it out there for a while. Well, and also
00:03:59.740 Kash is being modest. The list goes on and on and on and in all the posts that he served with great
00:04:07.440 distinction to the, you know, in service to the American people. It's just in the nation. It's just
00:04:14.220 great to have you with us. Let's start with these developments. And first, if we may, the fact that
00:04:21.360 this, this battle, this war in Ukraine, we're now in day six, it is getting tougher. The fighting is
00:04:32.180 heavier, the bombardment more intense. And yet the Ukrainians are standing with their leader and
00:04:39.780 and winning more than their fair share of the engagements. Your thoughts? I think that's what's
00:04:46.820 surprising everyone, including Vladimir Putin the most, because he thought he would take the might of
00:04:53.380 Russia and restore to the heyday of the Soviet Union and roll in his tanks and his missiles and
00:04:59.480 his munition and his, you know, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and sort of just steamroll through
00:05:04.440 what he believes geographically should rejoin the USSR or the Russia as it is today. And the,
00:05:11.720 you know, the heroism of the Ukrainian soldiers and their president, you know, Zelensky, who's actually
00:05:16.440 strapping up military gear, kitting out and going on the front lines, is inspiring his people to,
00:05:23.880 to defeat or take on President Putin's forces. And, and I think, no, I truly believe this. I don't
00:05:31.800 think anyone's more shocked than Putin. He thought he'd be in and out in the day.
00:05:35.000 And the optics of it are extraordinary. The images of the, of the battlefield, which are the streets and
00:05:44.280 the buildings, uh, the highways of, uh, of Ukraine, but two images keep pushing toward one's eyes. And
00:05:54.280 that is obvious. You say Zelensky in the field with his troops, uh, knowing he has to be very careful
00:06:01.800 where he is because snipers, uh, mercenaries, and all of the Russian forces are trying to kill him.
00:06:08.520 Uh, and his soldiers, of course, and the resistance trying to protect him, but he is there in the
00:06:15.640 midst of the smoke and the rubble and they're the counterpoint from the, from the aggressor,
00:06:23.240 the invader. It is just stunning to see Vladimir Putin sitting at the end of a long table by himself,
00:06:31.240 uh, seeming utterly, utterly out of, out of touch, uh, and insensate. He, what, what do you make of
00:06:40.280 this? Well, I think that's just it. Like he thought he would be, um, able to close this, uh, battle,
00:06:49.080 so to speak, that is, as you said, a war in days, if not a day. And now he finds himself in, and this
00:06:56.440 is almost as important to Vladimir Putin, the following, as is regaining the geography of the
00:07:00.840 Ukraine to the, to the Russian people. That is the propaganda. That is the media. That is
00:07:06.200 him being on the global stage dominating and his offensive, his war has shown his, um, capabilities
00:07:13.960 to go to literally the very ends of the earth and overstep the bounds of what any other global leader
00:07:20.680 would do in his position. But he suffered a massive blow, um, from a, from a, maybe even ego perspective,
00:07:29.960 because now the Ukrainian people and the media is covering rightly so are showing that they won't be
00:07:36.920 taken over by Russia and they won't fold over and they won't just say, you can come in and have it.
00:07:42.120 And I don't think he knows what to do with that. He's now lost the narrative and is losing the battle,
00:07:48.120 if you can believe it. And he's entertaining talks. Um, thankfully, I believe, you know,
00:07:53.400 diplomatic talks with the Ukrainians, um, in Moscow, of course, we're nowhere, you know, our leadership
00:07:58.680 here is nowhere to be found, but that's, that's another story. Exactly. And it's also clear that,
00:08:05.160 uh, as you suggest, uh, president Biden has receded from this historical moment, uh, this critical
00:08:14.040 moment, uh, in the history of Europe, uh, indeed the, the globe, uh, and that is, that's troubling
00:08:22.680 to some, but I have to be very straightforward about this. I think Europe is better off without,
00:08:29.160 without even the pretense that somehow Biden is important to the events that are
00:08:34.920 taking place in Ukraine or that he would have some significant contribution to the leadership
00:08:41.160 of all of these Western democracies. I think you're right. I, if I was, um, the folks over
00:08:47.960 in NATO's Alliance and on the, literally on the front lines bordering the Ukraine situation, I would say,
00:08:55.480 why would I want president Biden here? The, the American prowess on the national security front
00:09:00.840 has suffered a precipitous blow since president Biden took over. Lest we forget the calamity
00:09:06.280 that was Afghanistan and the fact that we can't, um, secure our own Southern border. If these global
00:09:12.600 leaders are looking at just those two incidents, um, why would they ask for help from America?
00:09:17.880 Um, they, so they can screw up the situation even more and have America airmail, what our vice president
00:09:24.920 over there, those talks ended up in word salad nonsense. And she returned with, uh, you know,
00:09:30.840 blindfolds back on. He hasn't been over there. He tried to call Putin who wouldn't even take his phone
00:09:36.360 calls. I'd be surprised if the European leadership even wanted to get on the phone with president
00:09:41.400 Biden. I think you've astutely pointed that out. I don't think I've heard anyone else say that before
00:09:45.640 because people keep saying America has to be there. America has to be there. And Lou, you know,
00:09:49.880 the one thing I learned under president Trump is why does America have to be there? And he's doing
00:09:55.080 it, you know, uh, from, uh, from, uh, sort of subconsciously almost, uh, because he's so inept,
00:10:02.360 we're sort of not there by default, not because of his, you know, congruent action to, to keep America
00:10:08.920 top. Again, the contrast over the weekend was remarkable as Putin raised his nuclear forces to
00:10:16.840 high alert, uh, and put the world on edge. And, and our president was nowhere to be seen in
00:10:24.200 Washington, DC. He was again in Delaware. And then you watch the propaganda flowing through the cable,
00:10:31.560 uh, news networks. It was astonishing. Suddenly, suddenly Putin is crazy. He is, uh, somehow
00:10:39.080 mentally gone south on us. Uh, he was always mentally south of us and always a little off,
00:10:48.040 but he was always the despot. He is now there. And this pretense suddenly, and one of the reasons
00:10:54.200 they said that they, the, these pundits said that they felt that he was in, you know, serious mental
00:11:00.920 anguish and trouble, uh, is because they hadn't seen him in the Kremlin very much. He kept going to his
00:11:07.160 Dachau, uh, and, uh, other resorts, uh, and doesn't spend much time there at the Kremlin. I thought
00:11:13.480 they could be saying the same thing of Biden spends very little time at the white house who spends his
00:11:18.280 time in Delaware. And you don't hear a discussion from the, uh, the left wing corporate propaganda
00:11:25.480 machine about that. It's, it's suffocating to think of, uh, this disinformation, misinformation
00:11:33.800 warfare that's carried out daily against the American people, irrespective of a war in Ukraine.
00:11:40.040 Yeah, you're totally right. Look, uh, you know, forget the facts from their perspective. They just
00:11:44.520 wanted to fill the space with hyperbole. Let's remind your audience who already knows this. Joe
00:11:49.480 Biden's been to Delaware at this stage in his presidency, far more than Donald Trump ever went
00:11:54.560 to Bedminster or Mar-a-Lago. And oh, by the way, I can tell you as a guy who traveled with the
00:11:58.760 president to those who, to those, uh, uh, uh, Mar-a-Lago or Bedminster, the president never
00:12:03.560 stopped working. But as you pointed out, we don't even hear from Joe Biden. All we hear is
00:12:09.960 the mainstream media machine revving up to sling hyperbole. And I think, I think you agree with me
00:12:15.320 when I say it's dismissive to say president Putin is insane or crazy. He is the leader of Russia and
00:12:22.280 acting with resound, uh, ferventness. Unfortunately, we don't want to see that, but just because we
00:12:29.160 don't want to see that doesn't make the man crazy that that's not how you lead on a world stage.
00:12:34.040 That's not how you take on an action. And you certainly don't do it, uh, from your home in,
00:12:38.760 in, in, uh, Delaware, taking a nap before the state of the union, or of course, as we just saw,
00:12:44.200 finally finding the muster to lift the mass mandate. So the media can have their optics come
00:12:50.760 tomorrow at the state of the union. And let's see what he says about the Ukraine situation there.
00:12:55.160 My guess is he will say how heroic the Ukrainian people are rightly so, and that we should pray for
00:13:00.440 them. But what is he going to say? His sanctions are now working. The very sanctions he reversed
00:13:06.440 when he came to office, which led us to this point, namely, uh, the, uh, turning back on the
00:13:12.360 construction of the Nord Stream two pipeline. So Germany could get cheap energy from our enemy in
00:13:17.480 Russia. And then the Germans have sat on the sidelines, not wanting to, uh, upset their
00:13:23.800 emperor energy, uh, conduit. Uh, it's just ridiculous. And now he's saying, let's see where
00:13:29.000 we are in a month after what another thousand Ukrainian civilians are dead. Now he wants to
00:13:33.720 utilize the sanctions regime. Um, it's just, it's just a total ineptitude and a complete failure of
00:13:40.040 diplomacy from our state department, not to mention our DOD.
00:13:43.240 To think of Jake Sullivan, the national security advisor, uh, Anthony, uh, Blinken, uh, the secretary
00:13:49.960 of state as the official helpers of, uh, president Biden, president Biden hasn't got a chance in the
00:13:57.800 world with these two, uh, blundering along with him racing actually to make more mistakes than he
00:14:03.560 would make some counsel, some advisors. It's, it's frightening to see what is going on with this
00:14:09.480 administration. Yeah. And I don't mean to cut you off, but let me just maybe give your audience a
00:14:15.720 little reminder of who Jake Sullivan is. The current national security advisor to our president was a
00:14:22.680 senior campaign advisor to Hillary Clinton, who has been named by title in John Durham's indictments
00:14:29.880 as an individual who had knowledge of Michael Sussman, the head attorney for the Hillary Clinton
00:14:35.560 campaign had knowledge of all these, all of this millions of dollars flowing from the Hillary
00:14:41.160 campaign into the coffers of these attorneys. And then as you now know, and we have always known
00:14:47.240 Lou, the, the, the fraudulent efforts of the Steele dossier, the corruption at the FISA court,
00:14:52.360 the alpha bank nonsense. And what we just learned last week from John, from John Durham,
00:14:56.520 the infiltration of white house servers, this individual, Jake Sullivan, who I interrogated four
00:15:01.880 years ago under oath said he did not know what all this money was being spent on and had no idea.
00:15:07.400 I find that impossible to believe, especially since the deposition I took of Michael Sussman
00:15:12.760 is the one John Durham used to indict him under oath. So I think America should be asking questions of
00:15:19.720 why is this individual advising the president of the United States? And then onto Anthony Blinken,
00:15:24.920 who gave his glorious interview on cable TV last week said, quote, we have been, we have been watching
00:15:30.440 the situation for three months and quote. Well, what does that mean? What do you mean you've been
00:15:35.080 watching? What have you been doing? Have you been over there? Did you send a group? Did you do what
00:15:40.840 we did under president Trump, which was get on a plane, go wherever it was needed with whoever was
00:15:44.600 needed to engage with whatever we needed to do to make sure World War three didn't break out. I mean,
00:15:49.880 all they're doing is giving interviews and quotes to the mainstream media. And as you put it pointed out,
00:15:54.360 the mainstream media is just as responsible, if not more for the ineptitude and fallacies of this
00:16:00.920 administration. Without critical judgment and an independent news media, there is no watchdog. There
00:16:09.320 is, there is no protection of the public's right to know, and certainly no, no production of news and
00:16:18.360 information that is critical to a citizenry in a constitutional republic. And it, it, it's awful
00:16:26.040 because these, these corporations, uh, have, uh, have so, uh, tortured and twisted the national media
00:16:36.280 into a grotesque semblance, uh, of a, a free press, uh, that it's, it is shameful. And it is,
00:16:44.760 as you point out dangerous to the national interest.
00:16:49.560 I totally agree. And that's just the beginning of what we're being allowed to unveil. And the
00:16:56.120 mainstream media is trying to cover it up by deflecting to Putin and by talking about how Joe
00:17:01.800 Biden's economy is now surging. Now, look, I'm not the economist and I will leave the expertise in
00:17:07.240 the finance department to you, Lou Dobbs, um, who knows and understands that. But, uh, with your great
00:17:12.760 depth and knowledge of that subject, that's got to take you off to see the mainstream media now
00:17:17.400 coming in to say, well, don't look at the Ukraine, but look at how great the economy is. Um, and just
00:17:23.640 skip over the inflation and the fact that we've lost more jobs than ever before. It's, it's stunning
00:17:29.720 that they won't. Well, actually, I guess it's not stunning since they've been lying for the last five
00:17:34.440 years that they continue to cover up for this individual all because he's anything but Donald Trump.
00:17:40.760 It's just unbelievable. Yeah. And I should point out that, uh, while you were, uh, taking the, uh,
00:17:47.080 the testimony, uh, uh, you were serving at that point as, uh, the senior counsel of the house, uh, select
00:17:54.440 committee, uh, uh, permanent committee on, uh, intelligence. Uh, and again, uh, uh, another of, uh, cash
00:18:03.000 Mattel's broad portfolio, uh, and experience the, the idea that Ukraine right now is surviving in this
00:18:13.080 battle is to me stunning. And I, and I, I am so proud. I'm, uh, just to witness this kind of courage
00:18:24.120 and bravery and to stand up against what is a, the most powerful alliance in all the world. That is
00:18:32.680 the alliance between the CCP, uh, and Putin's thugs in Russia to think that she and Putin put together
00:18:43.080 this axis of evil that reaches from Beijing to Moscow. And one of the two senior partners is getting
00:18:51.080 his tail kicked by insolent and courageous, uh, Democrats, uh, on this, on the streets of Kyiv
00:19:01.480 and all of the other cities in Ukraine. Yeah, I think you're right. It's a, it's a point that
00:19:08.600 people have almost overlooked because all, no one is talking about Xi Jinping and the CCP in Taiwan
00:19:16.120 anymore. I mean, he was smart enough to come in and say, well, I, I, maybe I don't like Putin.
00:19:21.360 He's Xi Jinping, but I definitely don't like America. And I know you, Vladimir Putin don't
00:19:25.780 like America. So why don't we join forces and collectively go at them? And you saw these two men,
00:19:31.040 um, taking on the world at their genocide games in the Olympics, and they're sitting in their box seats
00:19:37.100 and looking over the minions below them. And of course the mainstream media is covering this
00:19:42.060 nonsense and to Xi Jinping's, you know, you have to say credit, you know, from the perspective of a
00:19:49.360 leader looking after his interest, he's done everything that America would not want him to do
00:19:55.840 power up with Putin, have Putin lead the charge, have Putin take the propaganda machine to the American
00:20:02.480 people, weaken our national security apparatus. And all the while you can bet Lou that Xi Jinping
00:20:08.820 is planning his own offensive, whether it's against Taiwan or against American cybersecurity
00:20:13.440 interest or, um, fluctuating the currency in China to further grow the trade imbalance between America
00:20:21.760 and China. And let's not forget, continue the outpour of Chinese fentanyl from China to America,
00:20:30.480 which single-handedly kills more of our youth and more of our children than any one thing on planet
00:20:36.380 earth. But it's all of a sudden, okay, for that to that currency to explode onto the American scene
00:20:42.780 again, after four years of Trump's blockading it. Um, apparently those murders don't matter or matter
00:20:48.560 less than, uh, you know, the rights of illegal immigrants who are here committing crimes and
00:20:54.620 getting released on bond. This, this administration is absolutely upside down. Uh, it is running counter
00:21:03.100 to every, every American imperative that runs through our heritage, our culture, our history,
00:21:09.420 abandoning sovereignty of the nation by walking away from the border, uh, permitting, uh, fentanyl to be,
00:21:18.480 uh, imported into this country, uh, from China doses enough to kill the entire population, this
00:21:25.020 country over several times, uh, with almost every passing month, that much in seizures of fentanyl
00:21:31.540 shipped from China and for China to get away with killing almost a million Americans with the Wuhan
00:21:40.120 virus. And there is no consequence, no regard for the fact that Xi Jinping is the moral equivalent of
00:21:48.420 a murderer because he unleashed that virus on America and the world with the full knowledge that it was
00:21:55.080 deadly, that it was highly contagious, and that millions would die. I mean, it's just what you just
00:22:03.940 listed for any one individual to accomplish in one lifetime on behalf of a country to inflict that much
00:22:10.440 pain against American and American interest in American lives. You would think any one of those
00:22:15.840 things alone would be sufficient for our government, whoever's in charge to rise up and say,
00:22:21.580 you can't do that to America and America's people. But not only are they allowed to do one,
00:22:26.660 one of those things, they've allowed all of that to occur in just 13 months since president Biden
00:22:31.480 has taken over and the Democrats have are in charge of Congress and the Senate. So the world has seen
00:22:37.040 what democratic leadership has done. And I hope, you know, the world sees a reversal come November.
00:22:42.700 But one of the things that I know you and I share is the infuriating fact about the intelligence
00:22:48.920 failure surrounding this incident. And I think you've covered it well, but it's only coming out to
00:22:55.560 light now, Lou, thanks to you, that our president actually has spent the last few months exchanging and
00:23:03.860 providing sensitive, classified information, American intelligence, to the Chinese government and Xi
00:23:10.840 Jinping about troop movements regarding the Ukraine. And he, President Biden, somehow thought
00:23:17.060 that would avoid a conflict when in our learning and reality, Xi Jinping turned around and gave that
00:23:22.860 information directly to Vladimir Putin. And when when Biden was asked about that just two or three
00:23:29.180 days ago at the White House, he said, quote, I'm not prepared to discuss that yet. You and I both know
00:23:35.440 what that means. He did it. It was a calamitous failure of leadership that jeopardized American
00:23:41.560 national security interests. He turned over some of our most sensitive intelligence and he failed to
00:23:47.200 thwart this war. And now China and Russia are dancing around with some of our most classified
00:23:52.240 information. It's just outrageous as someone who used to work in the intelligence community.
00:23:57.580 Cash, this government, this Democratic Party, these Marxists who pretend that their progressive
00:24:09.800 philosophies and ideology somehow are not akin to neo-Marxism in the United States. It's outrageous.
00:24:21.140 And for this president in 13 months to have done the damage, to have inflicted the damage on this
00:24:26.920 country that he has, you have to ask, is he in your judgment? And that's what I am going to ask you
00:24:33.480 right now. Is Biden compromised by China? And is that being reflected in all of these activities?
00:24:42.360 And, you know, because there are so many possible motivations for this president and none of them
00:24:48.760 flattering to have receded from the world stage and to given up leadership, American leadership of the
00:24:56.120 free world. I think he's compromised by his own inabilities, his own mental faculties, his own
00:25:02.600 internal desire to see the White House and this nation run by the mainstream media and politics and
00:25:09.800 not by facts and intelligence and what's best for America and putting America first. And that's what
00:25:14.980 he wants. He's out there looking for a headline and he's out there listening to these crazy
00:25:19.480 progressives, the AOCs of the world and whoever else you want to say,
00:25:23.140 and saying, this is how we're going to implement national security. What did Donald Trump do?
00:25:28.620 We're going to do the opposite. That is the ultimate politicization of the national security
00:25:34.240 apparatus. And it is, I believe, what compromises his ability to affect, to be an effective commander
00:25:40.120 in chief the most. And of course, that's not to mention the fact that we haven't even known the
00:25:45.320 depth of his dealings with Ukraine, his son's dealings with Ukraine, the Chinese government,
00:25:50.680 how much money they've made, because our powers to be in government don't want to investigate it.
00:25:55.960 Of course, it was Donald Trump. And when it was, they spent endless amounts of time and money
00:26:00.640 investigating false narratives only to have the mainstream media put them out as if they were
00:26:06.880 true. Now we have the mainstream media and Joe Biden. You see what happens when they're aligned
00:26:10.920 and coupled together. The world literally implodes in 13 months. It is a terrifying prospect.
00:26:17.240 And I think Joe Biden is compromised on all accounts. And he's shown himself to be a totally
00:26:22.860 incapable commander in chief. There is, I can only say it this way, an exquisite irony within all of
00:26:31.280 this tragedy and conflict. And that is, can you imagine a script writer who would have had a president
00:26:40.280 sitting in the Oval Office who was compromised by both Ukraine and China, who finally created a
00:26:50.200 tortured plot line in which Russia invades Ukraine, exploits China and China, the United States.
00:27:00.240 And meanwhile, that president who thought he was home free with his son and their 30 plus million
00:27:08.340 dollars, according to Peter Schweitzer's reporting, suddenly is exposed for all the world to see
00:27:14.220 vividly. I mean, it's just outrageous. Can you imagine if it was Donald Trump and say Don or Eric
00:27:22.740 who had been shown to receive $30 million from a foreign country such as one of these? They'd be
00:27:28.680 having the Department of Justice prosecute them from now until the end of time. And now we have the
00:27:34.900 opposite, or excuse me, we have the Democrat and his son in power. And every time we show,
00:27:41.360 whether it's through Peter Schweitzer or other great reporting, an actual connection, an actual money
00:27:46.740 moving from one from these countries to Biden or Biden's kid, it's fake news, nothing to see here.
00:27:53.520 It's more Trump zealots talking about parody rather than reality. And it's unbelievable that this
00:27:59.880 mainstream media continues to hurt American democracy with their failed journalistic integrity.
00:28:06.620 It's something that I wish we could restore. But Lou, you know, you've been in journalism for a long
00:28:12.700 time. You've had great success. I just, I don't know what the answer is. It's just, I'm sadden to see it,
00:28:18.780 though.
00:28:18.920 Well, I think you're part of the answer. And the fact is that there has to be a new countervailing
00:28:28.080 force in our society against these powerful corporate news outlets, because this isn't just
00:28:35.680 CNN. It's CNN's ownership, AT&T, and soon to be Discovery. It isn't just ABC News. It's Disney,
00:28:44.900 for crying out loud. It isn't just the New York Times, the Washington Post. It's the oligarchs
00:28:52.080 behind them, who own them, and who run roughshod over democracy. And I want to compliment you on
00:29:00.840 your new, and I love the name of it, the Legal Offensive Trust, the Cash Patel Legal Offensive
00:29:08.940 Trust. I want to give you a moment here just to bring us up to date on how that is going. It's
00:29:15.820 designed to give those who are smeared by the big tech and big corporate media a place to go and
00:29:26.640 resources to defend themselves.
00:29:29.620 Well, I greatly appreciate it. Give me a little second here to talk about it. Yeah. You know,
00:29:34.380 after being mercilessly defamed, and Lou, I'm talking to someone who actually knows what that's
00:29:38.920 like. And to be called a name, to be called something nonsensical by the mainstream media
00:29:43.580 is one thing. To have outright lies written and said about you so the international world can look
00:29:49.260 at them and see them and they believe it is another thing, and that's defamation. And so after being
00:29:54.240 defamed from running the Russiagate hoax and proving it to be a hoax, I sued the New York Times,
00:30:00.020 CNN Politico, and those cases are ongoing. But what I learned was, Lou, that so many other Americans
00:30:05.040 have been defamed and they don't have the resources or the know-how to get out there and clear their
00:30:09.720 names and have their day in court. So I started fightwithcash.com. It's fightwithcashwithak.com.
00:30:16.920 And it's pretty simple. I'm out there raising money across the country for everyday Americans. It's a
00:30:23.320 complete charity. If you've been defamed or you think you've been defamed or you know someone that has,
00:30:28.440 you go to the website, fightwithcash.com, and you submit your summary. We review it for free.
00:30:34.100 If you have a cause of action, we contact you and our team of lawyers who are brilliant in defamation
00:30:39.380 work will hire you, excuse me, will contact you and we will pay for your fees, all of them. So you
00:30:46.660 have your day in court and you get your name cleared. And the movement, like anything else,
00:30:51.240 is a charity and we need your support. So anyone that can donate or help us find resourcing for
00:30:57.220 fightwithcash.com is greatly appreciated. We have half a dozen lawsuits already in the pipeline,
00:31:02.680 Lou, and we look forward to hopefully filing one or two every month from now until the end of the year.
00:31:09.680 And my guess is the rate will expand exponentially given what's going on in this country. And it's,
00:31:16.720 it is a wonderful effort. The Cash Patel Legal Offensive Trust. I love that offensive trust.
00:31:23.620 Enough with this defense. Let's go on the offense. It's Cash, Fight with Cash, with a K, as Cash said,
00:31:33.240 fightwithcash.com and learn more about it. We encourage you to do so. The Ukraine has just
00:31:41.260 applied for European Union membership. And apparently that's going to be an expedited review. And I don't
00:31:49.880 know what the outcome will be, but it very quickly could become a major, major development,
00:31:58.940 particularly for Mr. Xi and Mr. Putin.
00:32:03.420 Yeah, no one's talking about it. The fact that the EU is sort of on the rise after having being
00:32:08.160 suffered that whole deal with Brexit and that all that nonsense. The fact that the Ukrainians,
00:32:13.880 who I think astutely are taking advantage of the situation as best they can to say we're under
00:32:19.480 attack, we are geographically a part of Europe, let us into the European Union because, you know,
00:32:24.940 NATO won't let them into NATO. It's a, it's a very smart play by Zelensky and one in which I think now
00:32:31.880 that they're taking it on expedited fashion, I can you imagine an EU country voting to not allow the
00:32:38.620 Ukraine who is being invaded by Putin into the EU. They almost have to do it or suffer a permanent
00:32:44.920 black eye for, for vetoing it or preventing it. And it's one of the things that shows that a global
00:32:52.020 or not even global, but a multi-nation national security force or economic force can come together
00:32:59.060 and work. It's one of the rare instances where it's probably supposed to work. Unlike our current
00:33:04.560 United Nations, which Joe Biden is doing nothing with, because here's the one thing I know we did
00:33:09.960 under President Trump. When countries like China and Russia interfered with American national security
00:33:16.520 interest or killed innocent civilians, since the United Nations sits in New York City, we would ban
00:33:22.980 their diplomats from allowing them to come into the country to sit at the United Nations. Why hasn't
00:33:29.160 President Biden permanently banned every member of Russia from attending, every Russian diplomat
00:33:34.680 from attending the United Nations and giving them that global microphone? Why haven't we kicked them
00:33:38.700 off the Security Council? What about the Chinese diplomats at the United Nations? Why haven't they
00:33:43.360 been banned? And we can ban them because we simply revoke their immigration status to allow them to enter
00:33:49.000 the United Nations. That would be a powerful statement and a powerful way to use a crippled United Nations.
00:33:54.640 I think Ukraine has found a way to use the European Union, who has been crippled over the years,
00:34:00.140 to their advantage. And maybe we'll see its rise.
00:34:03.520 You know, again, within all of this, the misery and the death and the devastation and destruction
00:34:11.320 come these videos of Zelensky voicing the Paddington Bear in Ukrainian media.
00:34:24.640 Who knew that he did that? Who knew that he won Dancing with the Stars? And they put this video out
00:34:31.600 as buildings are smoldering and the rubble is in the streets and bombs are exploding. There is
00:34:39.720 Zelensky doing these amazing ballroom dances. And I mean, amazing. He's a terrific entertainer in all
00:34:51.260 respects. This guy who made a living as a comedian. He is multi-talented, as he's showing now, as he
00:34:58.320 outsmarts some of the so-called smartest people in geopolitics. It certainly makes you think that it is
00:35:05.520 that among that number should not be Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin.
00:35:10.800 Oh, you're you're you're you're you're that's always Lou. You're completely right. I mean, I don't
00:35:17.560 understand how the mainstream media and the media in Europe allow these two individuals to continue
00:35:24.940 their propaganda machine. You know what they should do, Lou, is just stop covering anything Putin and
00:35:29.700 Xi have to say, period. But they would have to have some intestinal fortitude to do that. And if they did
00:35:35.100 that, they would shut off one of the main goals of Putin and Xi, which is to have the global
00:35:40.980 propaganda machine do their bidding. And could you imagine if the mainstream media in just this
00:35:45.480 country alone stop only reported on the Ukraine, but report nothing on Vladimir Putin or Xi Jinping
00:35:51.340 in their propaganda machine? That would have a desired outcome. But of course, the lapdogs in the
00:35:56.400 mainstream media can't stay away from this because all it all allows them to say is somehow
00:36:02.740 irresponsibly, this is all Trump's fault. And we'll just keep running with that narrative.
00:36:10.720 And what's great is to watch these these analysts on television in particular, but also the columnists
00:36:16.800 in the New York Times or The Washington Post start taking up their reasoning about how this is
00:36:22.880 whose fault. And then they get to the point where they realize all the javelin missiles were ordered
00:36:27.900 in by Trump. All of the security interests were ordered by Trump. All of the discussion about armaments
00:36:36.240 and military spending by the European NATO nations. Oh, wait a minute. That was Trump who wanted all of
00:36:43.340 that brought to bear and focused on, yes, Russia, Russia and Russia. And who said to the entire country
00:36:51.900 when it would on occasion, listen, that China, China is a devious and dangerous international force.
00:37:00.320 And we have to contend with it because they are the chief enemy of the United States.
00:37:06.280 No one would pay attention. They're paying attention now. And the poor darlings can't work.
00:37:11.940 They can't make their syllogisms work anymore where Trump comes out at the end as the bad guy.
00:37:17.800 He was the force for good. And they, these journalists, these savants, these columnists
00:37:23.560 were forces for idiocy and failure. Well, I think they continue to do it in the desperate hopes that
00:37:31.000 they're going to prevent Donald Trump from running for president, you know, and announcing at the end
00:37:36.400 of the year, they're trying to sideline him already. And they're trying. And now what you see is
00:37:40.860 Hillary Clinton coming in to fill the void, which is, of course, what the mainstream media morons want.
00:37:46.020 And, you know, I, you know, I, for one would love nothing more than to see Donald Trump run against
00:37:51.820 Hillary Clinton and defeat her yet again, to completely bury and eliminate the Clinton dynasty
00:37:57.460 and teach the mainstream media once and for all that this country isn't bought and paid for by
00:38:03.120 their liberal dollars and socialist values. So I think we're going to continue to see it. And I think
00:38:08.620 Hillary Clinton's going to have a problem with John Durham come this summer and her entire campaign
00:38:15.100 and all her minions that are part of the process. And so honestly, Lou, I hope she announces soon.
00:38:20.580 And I can't wait for when Donald Trump, I believe, will announce hopefully later this year or the end
00:38:25.280 of the year. And it will, as we say, be game on. Yeah, I, I think that that's exactly right. And I do
00:38:32.340 believe for the Trump part, that will be the case. And it will be to thunderous applause that will be
00:38:40.600 audible from sea to shore, sea to shore and coast to coast. And, you know, throughout the United States,
00:38:50.740 because the American people desperately want him back. 62% say the country is going in the wrong
00:38:58.560 direction. 50, I believe it's 54% of the country has great concerns about Biden's mental acuity.
00:39:06.540 That is lack of it. And for us to be in this situation, it's going to land purely at the,
00:39:14.240 at the doorstep of the democratic national committee, which was the nexus of a plot against
00:39:20.500 the president to overthrow the president, to block his candidacy and to subvert the presidency
00:39:26.640 throughout his entire term of office. Oh, you're totally right. And that was it. They thought they
00:39:33.840 could one prevent him from being president. Then when they came in, they got the apparatus,
00:39:38.560 the DNC and Hillary campaign paid for, um, false information from a Russians or not a Russian,
00:39:45.220 many Russians through steel, pump that into the FBI through a willing and witting FBI who falsely
00:39:51.720 spied on a presidential campaign. And then president of the United States continued that spying operation
00:39:57.600 and allowed the democratic party, the Hillary Clinton campaign to obtain a contract whereby they were
00:40:05.000 allowed to secretly infiltrate white house servers to monitor the executive office of the president
00:40:12.720 at 1600 Pennsylvania blue. That is outrageous. And people throw around terms like insurrection and
00:40:18.960 treason when they're talking about January 6th. And as a former federal prosecutor, those terms have
00:40:23.580 legal meaning. I don't even know how you define under the law, the depravity and the lengths that
00:40:29.800 these people have gone through that John Durham is finally highlighting and showing to take down and
00:40:34.800 surveil the sitting president of the United States, all paid for by political operatives. There must be
00:40:39.980 accountability and these questions have to be answered. Absolutely. And one of those defendants, uh,
00:40:45.940 today is, uh, Julie Kelly, who's done an, uh, an incredible job reporting on January 6th. Uh,
00:40:53.140 uh, committee, uh, the Soviet era, uh, persecution, uh, of these people who were on Capitol Hill on January
00:41:02.800 6th. Uh, and indeed some of them may have committed a crime, but right now we don't know who, and they
00:41:09.360 haven't received due process and they might as well be in the Soviet era in the Soviet union, the way that
00:41:15.100 they have been treated. But one committed suicide today, a young man, uh, who had not had his day in
00:41:21.480 court had been treated horribly, uh, and who stood charged with nothing more than walking into the
00:41:28.060 Capitol. Uh, this is the kind of, uh, demented viciousness that is the American left in America
00:41:37.440 in 2022. Uh, cash, I want to turn to you just for a concluding thought here about where you think we
00:41:45.260 are in Ukraine and where you think this is headed. Wow. Well, you know, I wish I look, I'll be the
00:41:52.200 first to tell you, I got it wrong before, so I'm not sure I'm, I'm too much to say here. I, I honestly
00:41:56.780 didn't believe Putin would cross that one inch line to war and he has, um, you know, but pursuant to
00:42:03.120 our conversation and listening to you, you know, it looks like Putin has been throttled somewhat
00:42:08.600 and shocked back into a little bit of a cocoon back in Moscow. And I can tell you where I would
00:42:16.660 hope, I hope this goes that these talks led by the brave Zelensky and Ukrainians, these diplomatic
00:42:22.600 negotiations assisted, I guess, by the Europeans will lead to a ceasefire. That's what I would like
00:42:28.260 to see. This threat of nuclear war, I think is hyperbole. I think it is bombastic. And I think
00:42:34.460 it's Putin's attempt to steal back the propaganda narrative that he's lost because he's been
00:42:39.980 stymied in the Ukraine, um, to say that a nuclear arsenal, um, not to get into details of how we
00:42:46.120 prepare for that is on force ready is to say that there is, uh, you know, electricity on in America.
00:42:53.300 It's something that is 24, seven, three 65. I think he just uses that burbage and says we are now to
00:42:59.060 heighten posture because everybody will talk about it. So I hope that they draw, um, some lines
00:43:06.720 and some ceasefire agreements in the next week or so, because, um, you know, here's, here's,
00:43:12.860 here's where I actually would like to close Lou is, you know, war, you know, this war is not cool.
00:43:18.340 Uh, there's nothing cool about it. The only people that think war is fun and exciting and cool
00:43:22.520 is the defense industrial complex and their overlords on Capitol Hill who stand to make hundreds of
00:43:27.480 billions of dollars when a war does go. Um, but what's not is returning American soldiers' bodies
00:43:34.860 to their families and putting them in the ground at Arlington National Cemetery and delivering flags
00:43:39.820 to their family members and thanking them for their service, which has ended in tragedy. That is to me
00:43:45.000 what we must always guard against. It's what president Trump guarded against. And as you said,
00:43:50.180 successfully ended the forever war. So I hope we, we return to a place in dialogue where war is no
00:43:59.580 longer talked about as if it was something in a Marvel comic book, but a tragic reality. And I hope
00:44:04.640 there's a ceasefire soon, Lou. As I think, do we all, uh, it's, uh, there is some good news in this.
00:44:12.440 Uh, and that is that the neocons right now, I think, understand that, uh, the American people
00:44:18.780 are nowhere near tolerant enough to put up with their nonsense and seeking, uh, American engagement
00:44:24.860 overseas. And so many decades of these interminable wars that meant nothing to the national interest,
00:44:32.340 nothing to the national security. Uh, and now in this conflict, uh, in Ukraine, the Europeans are
00:44:39.600 standing up, uh, they are not seeking American quote unquote leadership or, uh, forces to be on the
00:44:47.920 ground in Ukraine. They are actually taking, uh, hegemonic responsibility for their region of the
00:44:54.720 world. And I think that is one of the healthiest developments in geopolitics in memory. Uh, I, I hope
00:45:01.600 that, uh, we can all agree on that and we can all agree that the brave people of Ukraine deserve
00:45:06.800 their freedom. And I hope Europe acts quickly to preserve just that. I thank you cash Patel
00:45:13.220 for being with us as always a great American. We want to recommend to you again, the cash Patel
