The Great America Show - PATEL： SHIPPING ARMS TO UKRAINE IS PLAYING POLITICS

00:00:00.260 Hello, everybody, and thanks for being with us on The Great America Show, where truth,

00:00:05.480 justice, and the American way are simply what we're all working to preserve, our way of

00:00:10.400 life, our American values, our liberty for all and for all Americans who follow us.

00:00:16.320 And speaking of truth, what is the truth about the Russian war on Ukraine?

00:00:21.560 Why did Vladimir Putin invade Ukraine?

00:00:24.880 Why are his generals and his army failing him?

00:00:28.200 And how is it that the Ukrainians have been so fiercely dogged in their defense of the homeland?

00:00:34.520 How could Putin and most of the world have so badly underestimated the character and ability

00:00:40.560 of the Ukrainians to stave off what was supposed to be, in the minds of most military analysts,

00:00:46.820 the second most powerful army in the world?

00:00:50.000 Not so fast, said Volodymyr Zelensky, and now, more than three weeks after the Russians invaded

00:00:56.320 Ukraine, the Russians haven't taken a single city among the ten largest cities in Ukraine.

00:01:03.280 Incredible.

00:01:04.480 And what does Putin do now?

00:01:07.120 Putin has disgraced himself before the free peoples of the world and among the far-from-free

00:01:13.420 Russian people.

00:01:14.300 Xi Jinping, an unrivaled totalitarian, must fear, at least in small measure, what having selected

00:01:21.980 Putin for a partner, a strategic partner, for crying out loud, what that says to members

00:01:28.300 of the Chinese Communist Party about Xi himself, who has just made the biggest mistake of his

00:01:34.780 rule as president of China.

00:01:37.060 Xi Jinping, assenting to the invasion of Ukraine, assuring Putin of his support, financial, economic,

00:01:44.480 geopolitical, and now, perhaps, militarily.

00:01:48.320 A dangerous mistake to have cast his lot with Putin, who I'm sure Xi never dreamed would be

00:01:55.220 humiliated by the Ukrainian army and resistance.

00:01:59.300 Or was it a mistake?

00:02:01.160 Certainly for Putin, but not necessarily for Xi.

00:02:04.440 Xi has, in fact, Xi played Putin with a strategy to encourage Putin to invade Ukraine, with an

00:02:12.460 almost certain consequence of Putin's war on Ukraine, leading to destabilization of Eastern

00:02:18.860 Europe and possibly the European Union itself.

00:02:22.800 Possibilities, I think.

00:02:24.700 Xi, perhaps considered, if Putin were to founder in Ukraine, provoke a weakened NATO that Russia

00:02:31.180 would turn to him for help, as he has done.

00:02:34.440 But as a supplicant, left deeply in debt, living on borrowed Chinese capital, for my part, it's

00:02:41.100 hard to imagine Xi would put his prestige and power at risk or outright jeopardy by affixing

00:02:47.580 himself to a mere mortal dictator who sought Xi's approval and support before invading Ukraine.

00:02:54.460 Now that the Russian army has been, to this point at least, outfought and outmaneuvered by an

00:03:00.400 Russian army and resistance that successfully is defended, for more than three weeks, Ukraine.

00:03:06.060 The world is stunned.

00:03:08.120 The vaunted Russian military hasn't been able to take even one of those cities.

00:03:13.700 Putin's military has rained death and destruction down on those cities and nearly all of Ukraine.

00:03:19.660 They're devastated, but the Russians don't control Ukraine. 0.80

00:03:22.760 They've created millions of refugees, and that refugee crisis is now a global crisis as well.

00:03:30.560 With us to take up all of this is a great American, the former Chief of Staff to the Secretary of Defense

00:03:35.940 and Assistant to President Trump, as well as Federal Prosecutor of National Defense Cases.

00:03:43.120 Kash Patel, great to have you with us here on The Great America Show.

00:03:46.600 So let's start first with something that is receiving very little attention before we turn

00:03:52.440 actually to the war, to the conflict that is now a global conflict in the sense that cyber

00:03:59.640 warfare, information warfare, psychological warfare is rampant.

00:04:07.600 The refugee crisis.

00:04:09.160 I just looked down at the numbers yesterday.

00:04:11.840 They had moved up 200,000.

00:04:13.820 Today, they were up another 200,000.

00:04:16.820 We're talking over 3 million refugees now from a population of roughly 40 million people

00:04:24.140 in Ukraine.

00:04:25.320 What are we to do?

00:04:27.460 Well, Lou, it's so good to be with you, and I appreciate you leading off the show with

00:04:30.780 this important topic that really almost no one's covering.

00:04:34.100 And you know what?

00:04:34.920 The irony of all is that the Dems and the mainstream media would normally have been the ones screaming

00:04:41.640 about a refugee crisis because it is a crisis if President Trump were still in power.

00:04:46.860 But let me just tell you one of the biggest problems with war, which is why President Trump

00:04:52.240 was so ferociously against any war, starting new wars and ending the ones that existed, is

00:04:56.420 because generations worth of human beings, children, women, men, get displaced and moved

00:05:02.640 out of their country and into camps and tent life for generations.

00:05:06.840 That takes 20 and 30 years to fix.

00:05:09.400 And as you astutely pointed out, almost 10 percent of the Ukrainian population is now

00:05:13.700 refugees, no longer living in their country of birth, their home nation. 1.00

00:05:17.840 And that is just one of the biggest tragedies of this war that Putin has started under Biden's

00:05:23.100 watch.

00:05:23.600 And for the first time that I can recall, Lou, the mainstream media isn't even covering it

00:05:27.900 because it happened on Biden's watch.

00:05:29.540 And oh, by the way, at least we're talking about it.

00:05:32.180 But I would think that this would be the one issue that would galvanize people left, right,

00:05:38.540 middle, where have you to say, we have got to figure out a way to end Putin's reign.

00:05:43.240 But it just doesn't seem to be getting any traction.

00:05:45.320 And it's it's something that we're going to be dealing with for decades.

00:05:48.020 And I think it's important that people recall that the last major refugee crisis approaching

00:05:54.780 this order was the Syrian refugee crisis.

00:05:58.080 Yes.

00:05:58.560 And that under President Obama and with without solution.

00:06:04.280 Rather, it is it's stunning.

00:06:07.180 You're right about the it's really the duplicity of the national left wing corporate media in

00:06:15.260 they are so selective in what they cover, what they don't, what they're honest about and

00:06:19.560 what they aren't.

00:06:20.800 Don't you agree?

00:06:22.320 I completely agree.

00:06:23.520 And you're right.

00:06:24.120 Yeah, you know, you beat me to it.

00:06:25.580 You connected the biggest refugee crisis in modern history, the ones in Syria and places

00:06:30.360 like Iraq and Afghanistan.

00:06:32.200 You know, in my in my career service, I've been to these refugee camps and it is heartbreaking

00:06:37.720 is putting it mildly.

00:06:39.340 And the thing that happens in some of these refugee camps is we tried to root out the Trump

00:06:43.120 administration is that, unfortunately, groups like Al Qaeda and ISIS take advantage of the

00:06:48.440 humanitarian aid efforts that are going on in those camps to see terrorists in those

00:06:52.840 camps to do harm to America and American allies down the road.

00:06:56.800 So it's just a tragedy all around.

00:06:59.620 And your reference to the Syrian to the Syrian one is just so right on point.

00:07:05.900 And we're dealing with that, Lou, what, 10 years down the road and there's still there's

00:07:09.540 no resolution to the refugee crisis in that country.

00:07:11.980 And really, there's no new apparatus, no new architecture, if you will, in the United States

00:07:18.280 for the for dealing with those refugees.

00:07:22.900 And it's a it's a complicated issue without question.

00:07:27.500 But the fact that the United States government abandons control of its borders, abandons any

00:07:34.640 effort in most cases, the Trump administration certainly tried for the first time to actually

00:07:41.120 vet the refugees, as you well know, because you were part of that effort.

00:07:47.220 But to to to be where we are today, our borders don't matter.

00:07:53.140 People who enter our country don't matter under this administration. 1.00

00:07:56.020 It's really sickening to watch.

00:07:58.900 And it is extraordinarily dangerous to the republic.

00:08:03.320 No, you could be more right.

00:08:05.080 And we are creating a wave of children, of future generations who won't be educated, who 0.99

00:08:12.840 won't have the resources and the availability to grow up in a free society and have the experiences

00:08:19.280 that we are so fortunate to have here in America.

00:08:21.360 And unfortunately, that's going to breed a certain level of hatred and contempt incorrectly,

00:08:27.060 I believe, for our values.

00:08:28.460 And it's all because of Putin, who is taking advantage of a completely weakened national

00:08:33.520 security apparatus for the United States, because there's no one and no force willing to push

00:08:38.180 back on it.

00:08:39.480 And now here we are talking yet again on your show about, I guess we're in what, week three

00:08:45.060 of war here on the global stage.

00:08:47.860 Absolutely.

00:08:49.920 And President Biden, his language, his rhetoric resembles more closely a neighborhood thug than

00:08:59.180 it does a statesman or a president, certainly.

00:09:04.460 I cannot imagine what has happened to a man who receded from even the discussions of Ukraine

00:09:11.020 for over two weeks, and now is moving forward and making all of these spurious and inflammatory

00:09:19.980 remarks, threatening, threatening Xi Jinping.

00:09:25.360 And at a time when we should be working toward a peaceful settlement, if not a settlement, a

00:09:31.980 truce, a ceasefire.

00:09:34.000 He's he's trying to inflame Vladimir Putin for crying out loud.

00:09:38.800 I mean, if he's literally doing it, I don't know if it's intentionally, because I'm not

00:09:43.400 sure he's capable of doing anything intentionally 100 percent, but indirectly with his, you know,

00:09:49.440 his his unending desire to just reverse everything Trump that worked.

00:09:55.020 And what you outlined is just a perfect example of it, be it the killing of the Keystone pipeline

00:10:00.520 or be it of the lifting of the North Korean two sanctions so that the Russians could get

00:10:04.820 their giant pipeline into Germany and they could make billions of dollars, be it being

00:10:09.700 a step too late to reverse these policies that he now knows failed.

00:10:16.060 And for some reason, he thought they would they would secure freedom, but they've only

00:10:20.360 secured war.

00:10:21.380 And now we have presidents and leaders and premieres around the world who don't even include

00:10:27.280 America in global conversations, be it on oil and gas pricing or Ukraine or NATO conversations.

00:10:34.920 We have a commander in chief who's just not even there.

00:10:37.740 And to round out the conversation, Lou, I know you saw our vice president, Kamala Harris, 0.95

00:10:42.380 when she was asked on the global stage last week about the refugee crisis, which we just

00:10:46.900 talked about.

00:10:47.480 She laughed out loud.

00:10:48.840 She literally laughed out loud.

00:10:50.320 So this is the American leadership that was supposedly chosen to to lead us into the, you

00:10:58.060 know, into out of the forest from the Trump administration.

00:11:00.880 And I think the world is seeing that what we did worked.

00:11:04.760 What Lou Dobbs reported on was the truth and it was working.

00:11:07.640 And now you see what failed.

00:11:10.220 And what is failing clearly is Kamala Harris is vice president of the United States. 0.78

00:11:15.820 No one wants to say that out loud in the corporate media.

00:11:21.000 And the Biden administration apparently has quietly shelved her, put her put her out of

00:11:30.320 the way before she embarrasses herself, the Biden administration, the U.S. government and 0.99

00:11:37.620 the American people further.

00:11:39.500 I have never seen a performance as awkward.

00:11:42.420 I've seen some awkward vice presidents, frankly, but I've never seen anything that rises to

00:11:49.060 this level of just ignorance of the facts and no knowledge base.

00:11:54.060 And then the last tweeting directly into the teeth of a firestorm that we were defending the

00:12:04.000 NATO interest in Ukraine. 1.00

00:12:06.780 You don't have to have a clever mind to understand that just as a dumb. 0.99

00:12:12.420 Dumb thing to have said in any form and certainly on social media. 0.99

00:12:18.060 Apparently, the president has had a belly full. 0.99

00:12:21.460 Well, I don't know.

00:12:23.040 Think about that.

00:12:24.960 That concept.

00:12:26.500 Yeah. 0.99

00:12:27.560 He's run out of patience with an inept official.

00:12:31.500 Yeah, who failed us on the border and he's failing us overseas and now who's, you know,

00:12:38.100 leading efforts to have America fund border initiatives for another country, but not ours.

00:12:43.960 I mean, it's just the height of hypocrisy.

00:12:46.520 And again, another example of the politicization of the national security apparatus, just because

00:12:51.780 the border security initiatives and the border wall worked under President Trump because

00:12:55.260 he did them.

00:12:55.940 They don't want to do them.

00:12:57.980 And you and I have talked about endlessly about the opioid crisis that's on the rise.

00:13:02.360 Chinese fentanyl, the deaths of our children and our youth in this society is increasing

00:13:07.780 exponentially because these people just don't want to do what works.

00:13:12.000 And as you have said, the lamestream media doesn't want to cover it.

00:13:15.300 And the Democratic mayors of these large cities where those fentanyl overdoses are taking place

00:13:25.360 primarily, there is an alignment between, it seems, the madness of foreign policy and the

00:13:33.800 madness of domestic policy in this administration.

00:13:37.040 He's indifferent to sovereignty.

00:13:39.020 He's indifferent to our borders and border security and illegal immigration.

00:13:43.780 And he's indifferent to outcomes of whether they be in Ukraine, Russia, China.

00:13:51.960 He's threatened.

00:13:52.860 Imagine this.

00:13:54.040 He has threatened the leaders of the two next most powerful nations on the planet.

00:13:59.920 And to what end?

00:14:02.620 He's trying to end a conflict.

00:14:05.600 I would love to see him win a Nobel Peace Prize, but unlike his ideological precessor, I'd

00:14:16.900 rather it be for something he actually did.

00:14:20.560 In this case, he could bring a truce about in Ukraine.

00:14:24.340 Don't you believe?

00:14:26.360 Well, I mean, I think a strong commander in chief could.

00:14:28.940 I just don't think we have that right now.

00:14:30.520 President Biden and his everyday actions showed it that what we've been outlining here by Biden himself going out and allowing China and Xi Jinping and Putin and Russia to rise in power, to rise in the position of dominance over the United States for the first time.

00:14:46.600 Well, as far as I can remember, and those two countries taking advantage of failure in Western leadership, democratic principles to say, we are going to grow in power.

00:14:56.480 We are going to dictate the terms of global authority to the U.S.

00:14:59.780 Oh, and all the while, while conducting endless cyber attacks and infrastructure attacks on the United States.

00:15:06.340 And since our defense department is focused on the weather, we won't pick up on it until the next administration.

00:15:13.420 And I'm sure they'll have someone else to blame by then.

00:15:16.600 This is what this is what the politicization of the defense apparatus and the national security apparatus has led to.

00:15:22.420 And, you know, I hate to say, look, Lua, you and I have had this conversation.

00:15:24.940 I'm cheering for Joe Biden to win on national security.

00:15:28.300 I always have been.

00:15:29.300 But I'm saddened to say he is failing, and I just don't think he is in a position to lead anything and resolve this matter in any fashion.

00:15:38.740 And I'm hoping someone else on the global stage steps up, or maybe someone in Russia will step up to Putin.

00:15:44.660 As daunting as that might sound, that might be the only way out of this.

00:15:48.000 And what we've had from the American legislature, Congress and Senate, is Lindsey Graham calling for the assassination of President Putin.

00:16:03.760 That has been extremely helpful.

00:16:06.080 And then we have Mitt Romney deciding that we should send planes, no matter what, for a no-fly zone, period.

00:16:14.580 And he's patting everybody on the head, telling them not to be concerned about the fact that Putin has said such an act would be, he would consider it to be an act of war.

00:16:26.340 We have some of the most intellectually challenged, I'll be kind as I can be, senators imaginable.

00:16:36.920 And by the way, at least the Russians produced a member of their Duma who called for reparations for having taken Alaska and a Northern California port.

00:16:50.400 And he wants those back immediately, plus monetary compensation.

00:16:54.960 And by the way, it wouldn't be a bad idea to just launch a nuclear device toward the United States as a little bit of a wake-up call, I guess, in his mind, to make sure that we understood he was a very serious member of the Duma. 0.94

00:17:09.540 Your reaction to all of that?

00:17:12.100 Well, look, obviously, I mean, I totally disagree with anything that the Russian Duma and the Russians under Putin are doing.

00:17:16.780 But at least they're putting Russian interests first, which is something that the idea of putting America's interests first makes us sound like either we're racist or xenophobes or neocons or whatever the verbiage is of the day for the lamestream media.

00:17:33.040 As if me and you, being Americans, wanting to take care of America first.

00:17:37.280 And that's not saying we don't want to take care of the rest of the world, but putting our initiatives first.

00:17:40.900 And as you've highlighted, some of these members of Congress who are basically peddling for the defense industrial complex.

00:17:48.640 Because, look, as a former chief of Stanford Defense Department, I'll be the first one to tell you.

00:17:52.280 The only person that wins, the only people that win in war is the defense industrial complex because they make billions, billions with multiples of zeros.

00:18:00.560 And these people that are talking about fighter jets and munitions and all this, who's paying for that, Lou?

00:18:07.840 It's not private industry.

00:18:09.600 It's the United States government and the taxpayer dollars that we pour in.

00:18:13.520 And those contracts pour out to the defense industrial complex.

00:18:16.900 And you bet they have their hands in the pockets of so many members of Congress with all their lobbying.

00:18:22.900 It is the largest lobbying conglomeration on planet Earth.

00:18:26.620 And so that's why I'm not shocked to hear certain people on the Hill talk about how effectively going to war is the only solution or the right solution.

00:18:37.620 And, oh, by the way, these same members of Congress, I don't know if you saw this, Lou, were able to slip in a, I think it was a 20 percent pay increase.

00:18:46.380 21 percent.

00:18:47.740 It was counting.

00:18:50.560 Yeah, exactly.

00:18:52.420 Round it any way you want.

00:18:53.860 25.

00:18:54.780 I mean, it's just pick a number.

00:18:58.480 You know, one thing, no matter the percentage, they didn't earn it.

00:19:02.240 And to do that so covertly in such a stealthy, sneaky fashion is just, it's just who they are.

00:19:12.880 And what American, I don't care what party you're in, what American would say these people have earned a bonus or a pay raise?

00:19:21.580 I don't believe anyone.

00:19:22.620 Let me let me turn to this new poll, morning consult political poll.

00:19:28.920 Sixty nine percent of voters saying the nation is on the wrong track under Joe Biden.

00:19:34.180 How many of these polls do we have to see saying that Biden is on the wrong track for that to have any impression at all on the Democratic Party? 0.53

00:19:43.420 They don't give a damn.

00:19:45.720 No, you're right. 0.63

00:19:46.240 And, Lou, you know this better than anyone.

00:19:48.060 If that poll is saying 69 percent, you know it's more like 85 percent because these polls are never actually accurate.

00:19:54.980 These are the same polls and pollsters that said President Trump had a 2 percent chance of winning and Hillary Clinton was going to be president 98 percent all day long.

00:20:02.680 So it's shocking.

00:20:04.200 And people should take notice of some of these polls.

00:20:06.600 70 percent of Americans are saying it's headed in the wrong direction and we're still continuing down this direction.

00:20:12.580 I thought this was an elected democracy.

00:20:14.860 Where our members of Congress and our leadership in the White House would react to the situation under them by the people who who generate the policies or the decisions that that should drive our nation.

00:20:25.180 But what they're doing is just saying forget the masses.

00:20:29.380 We know better.

00:20:30.940 We are going to continue to enrich the defense industrial complex.

00:20:34.340 We are going to continue.

00:20:35.240 We and this is a hypocrisy.

00:20:36.520 We the Democrats are basically have done nothing to stop a war.

00:20:41.320 Yet they excoriated past Republican presidents who dare to even attempt to assist in a conflict overseas.

00:20:50.300 These same people are now basically doing everything they can to entangle us in a war with the conversations of fighter jets and no fly zones and things that they have actually no idea what the consequences of that are, which is boots on the ground wearing American flags on their shoulders.

00:21:05.380 And that is not something you and I ever want to see.

00:21:09.380 But tragically, I don't see any American leadership steering us in another direction.

00:21:14.320 Again, I couldn't agree with you more cash and the fact we've just sent off 3000 more of our our troops, our soldiers to Australia, because China's has been making belligerent remarks to the Australians, as if 3000 troops is somehow a symbol that will shake to the foundation of the CCP.

00:21:39.320 CCP, its faith in their military power and their and get them to roll back their ambitions. 0.89

00:21:47.960 This is this is a level of stupidity in our U.S. government that I thought that we should have if we could not intellectualize past it, at least we should recall the pain from similar acts in our history. 0.99

00:22:02.780 It's not smart. It's not effective. So what is its purpose? 1.00

00:22:08.820 Political posturing, Lou. That's all it is. That's like when the same thing, when the Biden administration announced that we were sending thousands of troops to Germany in the quote unquote eastern flank.

00:22:20.040 Why are you sending thousands of troops to Germany in the eastern flank when we have forty five thousand U.S. troops permanently stationed in Germany?

00:22:27.800 And why are you now all of a sudden saying, oh, maybe we should move some of these people to Poland like we did in the Trump administration, because they know the Polish government is our best asset over there.

00:22:37.880 Why would we reward Germany who got there, bought and paid for a Russian pipeline at the expense of American interest? 0.62

00:22:47.080 And this is something that most people don't know. But our stationing of forty five thousand troops in Germany is we pay for five percent of Germany's GDP.

00:22:55.860 What do we get in return for that? Nothing. We get them signing with the Russians on cheap energy.

00:23:00.820 We get them not doing their two percent for NATO. And now we are going to send more troops into that country and that region, like we're sending troops down to Australia to combat China, which, you know, I'm not a geography whiz, but I think they're still separated by like four thousand miles. 0.51

00:23:16.460 It's political posturing. And so the New York Times and the mainstream media morons can come online and say, America is sending troops overseas. 0.90

00:23:25.940 And just pause and look at that. These outlets that hate war. 0.99

00:23:30.820 And rightfully so are now championing the sending of American troops overseas in their taglines or bylines and all their crazy social media accounts.

00:23:40.620 And and Australia, I would have I would have insisted that their prime minister forgo and forestall any hint of authoritarianism in their government and their policies before I'd ever send another soldier to anywhere near Australia.

00:23:58.400 The Australian people have got to be beside themselves.

00:24:01.760 They've watched their government turn into I have to say, at least I'll say something positive.

00:24:08.200 They're only quasi fascist. But it is it is disgusting to watch what they they've done. 0.91

00:24:15.640 It's as if they're trying to emulate Justin Trudeau.

00:24:20.080 It's it's it's it's it's heart sickening. So there it is.

00:24:25.200 Let's turn to, if we may, the Russian demands that we stop our arms flow to Ukraine.

00:24:32.440 Now, I thought once Putin said that we should have been furious because all we're doing is shipping arms to Ukraine while we tell China not to ship arms to Russia.

00:24:45.340 There is more. You were speaking just moments ago of hypocrisy. 0.62

00:24:49.400 There's hypocrisy at the highest level.

00:24:51.740 How do we resolve that dilemma?

00:24:55.780 Of hypocrisy?

00:24:57.880 That's what it's you know, I hate to laugh at it, but you'd need actual leadership to resolve that issue, which we just don't have it.

00:25:05.900 I mean, I think what we would have done under the Trump administration is we would have had the ability to call Xi Jinping and Putin and say, hey, you want to talk about a global weapons supply?

00:25:14.760 Let's put all of our, you know, cards on the table, arms on the table and come to a point where we stop shipping weapons to countries around third party countries around the world just to antagonize our our enemies because we don't like each other.

00:25:29.840 I mean, that's something that would have it just this sort of sort of political horse trading, for lack of a better word, would not have occurred under Trump because they wouldn't do it.

00:25:39.480 But now, as you pointed out, they're sending weapons. And so what does that cause the American population to do or not our elected officials, I should say, is now we're going to send weapons to the Ukraine.

00:25:50.180 Well, let's just remind America that we send javelins and like all over the world because these other countries don't have the capability to make and build them. 0.63

00:25:59.660 And we send javelins on the Trump administration to Ukraine like we did other dozens of other places.

00:26:03.780 So sending, you know, more munitions and more ammunition again, that is more political posturing because we're sending billions of dollars worth of weapons into a country that is under the siege of war.

00:26:15.580 How are they going to what are they going to do with them? Who's going to use them? Who do we train over the last two years to use those weapons?

00:26:21.480 They just turned it off and now they want to turn the spigot back on and say for their next headline.

00:26:26.020 Here we go. America sending 20 million, 20, 200 million dollars worth of weapons and munitions to Ukraine.

00:26:30.920 It doesn't do anything. Yeah, it's it's it's just sickening to watch what is happening to to truth is always when conflicts get this large, they go well beyond the borders of Ukraine.

00:26:45.000 We're watching disinformation campaigns coming across every, you know, through every current in our body politic.

00:26:54.980 It is it's so hard to understand what the truth is when you have an administration that lies as a matter of form each day.

00:27:05.340 So we have a very difficult time, the American people, of discerning truth.

00:27:10.460 Is it truth that actually Russia has only 10 days left of munitions and weapons and and troops that have to just fold their tents and go home, which, by the way, is headline after headline saying that.

00:27:26.540 Is it true that Ukraine can only hold out three days because they're surrounded by the enemy in every major city?

00:27:36.120 And by the way, is it true that not a single one of the 10 largest cities in Ukraine has fallen to the Russians?

00:27:44.500 The answer to the last question is it's true. Absolutely true.

00:27:50.040 And I think that shocked everyone from Biden to she and most of all, Putin.

00:27:57.160 I think you're right. And this is, you know, a failure in our is sort of our intelligence apparatus, you know, which I was a deputy director of Intel for President Trump for a while there.

00:28:06.040 Right. And and because we focus our intelligence community are, you know, we only have so many people that can collect intelligence that we train to do that job with for.

00:28:15.660 And we tell them to focus on Russia, China, Iran, terrorism and things like that.

00:28:22.000 And that's why we had such a valuable stream of intelligence coming in.

00:28:25.360 We were able to make geopolitical decisions based on facts and evidence and information that we could verify.

00:28:32.400 This administration has completely flipped this apparatus on its head and instead is focusing on climate change and the weather, which is fine if you're the EPA.

00:28:41.140 But I disagree wholeheartedly with Joe Biden's attempt to say white rage and climate change are the issues of the day for the Defense Department, who is a member of the intelligence community.

00:28:49.080 So I just don't trust that we are being given the right information.

00:28:52.980 And when they're making these guesstimates and hedges about global security and war to the world, I just don't have any confidence that we have a leadership that is putting out the appropriate information to the world.

00:29:09.120 Instead, they're just throwing Hail Marys and saying, well, we hope or we think that Russia is going to run out of arms in 10 days, as if that could ever be possible when Xi Jinping and China are ready to basically supply them for the next two years.

00:29:22.360 And people forget that Xi has a direct path to resupply Putin.

00:29:30.840 It's not as if they have to get permission from Poland, Belarus, et cetera. 0.61

00:29:36.240 It's ridiculous, the whole situation and heart-rending at the same time.

00:29:42.380 I want to turn, if I may, to something that you and I, I suspect, never dreamed possible, that the New York Times actually took up the story of Hunter Biden and his laptop after every major news organization in the country was rationalizing, excusing,

00:30:02.220 and explaining to the unwashed American peasants like you and me, that why they couldn't bring the story forward, the most amazing things.

00:30:15.680 I mean, this was going on right up to just a few days before the election in November of 2020.

00:30:23.860 Jen Psaki of cheap among the propagandists.

00:30:27.720 Your reaction?

00:30:28.380 Well, look, Lou, I mean, I'll start with you.

00:30:31.880 You were one of the few guys courageous enough to actually report, you know, fact-based journalism.

00:30:37.100 And that's exactly what the Hunter Biden laptop story encapsulates, fact-based journalism.

00:30:44.140 You had an actual laptop that belonged to Hunter Biden.

00:30:47.460 That was exploited and basically showed the emails and the direct information.

00:30:54.420 It's almost as if you had a videotape yourself of the crimes or suspected crimes being committed, and that was reported.

00:31:01.160 And Twitter and Facebook kicked everybody off who reported on it.

00:31:04.420 The New York Times called it Russian disinformation.

00:31:07.860 And I went back and pulled the Times article, and they said they relied on career CIA officers and former intel analysts of the highest levels to come to the conclusion that it was Russian disinformation.

00:31:19.640 Actually, if you look at the letters, those group of characters actually got together to write, they themselves said, we cannot say this is Russian disinformation.

00:31:29.880 We just believe it is because they were also politically in bed with anyone that wanted to take out President Trump.

00:31:35.880 So the Times put out disinformation themselves so they could fit a political narrative, which was anything to take out Donald Trump.

00:31:44.140 And like every other story, be it Russiagate, be it the Ukraine impeachment scenario hoax, be it now we're talking about Hunter Biden's laptop.

00:31:53.320 We reported it.

00:31:54.280 You reported it correctly and accurately.

00:31:56.160 And now the gray lady or the gray scale or whatever they're calling themselves these days is now saying and, you know, in the back pages, not that we got it wrong, but there actually might be something there.

00:32:08.260 And I hope the U.S. attorney in Delaware is investigating this matter fully, as he should be doing.

00:32:14.720 Yeah, it's already taken almost two years to move in any direction.

00:32:21.440 I don't know of a Justice Department in history that has taken this long to come to a sensible conclusion about an investigation that is straightforward.

00:32:34.180 This here is a situation where the laptop exists.

00:32:37.780 We know who its owner is.

00:32:40.000 We know what the messages are.

00:32:42.480 All of our intelligence agencies and law enforcement in the case of the FBI can discern what was on that laptop.

00:32:51.440 And extrapolate from it what was going on, as you suggested.

00:32:55.660 It is disgusting because the Justice Department has been now the designated place where truth goes to die and never to be heard again.

00:33:08.360 This is one of the exceptions.

00:33:09.860 And if it hadn't been for a tax settlement, I don't think that they would have ever acknowledged the reality of what has happened with that, with Hunter Biden.

00:33:21.620 It's, you know, these papers, these outlets, these corporate outlets are simply political activist arms of the Democratic Party.

00:33:29.920 You get the last word here, and Cash, we appreciate it.

00:33:35.680 As always, our guests get the last word, and I turn it over to you.

00:33:40.000 No, you and I are on the same page, and, you know, coming on your show is one of the few places in media I actually enjoy having our conversations because you allow people to speak, and you put out truth-based reporting, which is a scarcity in these days.

00:33:59.060 So, you know, for me, I'm just happy to be still on the roll call for the Great America Show with Lou Dobbs.

00:34:06.500 And I will, since I have the last word, I'm going to surprise you, Lou, and I'm going to tell you something I don't think you'd ever heard out of my mouth.

00:34:12.380 But me, Cash Patel, is now on social media, if you can believe it.

00:34:18.600 All right.

00:34:19.420 But I'm on true social.

00:34:21.860 So, President Trump and Devin Nunes convinced me you can now actually follow me at Cash, at K-A-S-H.

00:34:30.000 But bear with me because I have no idea how social media works or what I'm supposed to be doing on there.

00:34:34.700 So, if you and your tremendous following could give me a few pointers, I would appreciate it.

00:34:40.100 Well, I'd be glad to give you pointers, except for one little minor item.

00:34:44.840 I can't claim a triple-digit IQ on social media myself.

00:34:49.260 But I will be able to – I can help you, at least in this sense.

00:34:56.560 I can applaud your doing so and bringing a great mind and voice to social media, desperately needed.

00:35:06.640 And we appreciate you taking on the challenge.

00:35:09.260 And I know that your ever-growing and ever-larger audience will appreciate it as well.

00:35:16.920 Cash, thank you so much.

00:35:18.220 And we wish you the best.

00:35:20.120 And what is – it's at Cash on Truth.

00:35:25.560 And social – other social media?

00:35:28.200 And that's it.

00:35:44.280 And since the color of my website is green and today is St. Patrick's Day, Lou, I wish you a happy St. Patrick's Day.
