Trump is the 45th President of the United States, and we re now less than a year and a half away from the 2024 election, and that date is fast approaching. President Donald J. Trump has been on vacation for almost a year, and now it s time for our special guest, President Joe Biden, to take up many of the issues that face the nation.
00:00:00.000Hello, everybody. I'm Lou Dobbs, and this is The Great America Show. Welcome and great
00:00:07.580to have you with us. In just moments, we'll be talking with the 45th president of the
00:00:12.040United States, President Donald J. Trump. And we're now less than a year and a half
00:00:16.700away from the 2024 presidential election. 477 days to be exact, and that date is fast
00:00:24.500approaching. The Republican Party has 11 declared candidates for the 2024 nomination with only one
00:00:31.720clear frontrunner, and of course, that is Donald Trump. The man in a very distant second place is
00:00:38.300Governor Ron DeSantis. He's failed from the inception of his campaign to really get it going. NBC is
00:00:44.960reporting that DeSantis has fired roughly a dozen campaign staffers this week and is looking to cut
00:00:51.120cost and to change his political fate by changing his campaign strategy. We'll see.
00:00:58.600DeSantis is the chosen candidate of Fox News and the Murdochs, as reported, but they are
00:01:03.820apparently getting a little disturbed by his failure to launch. Reports are they're looking
00:01:08.820for a new 2024 candidate to back. And things aren't going much better for puppet President Joe Biden.
00:01:15.960Biden arrived back at the White House last night after spending the weekend at Camp David.
00:01:20.640taking his 356th vacation day since he took office. That's almost 40 percent of his presidency
00:01:28.920on vacation. Or to put it another way, Biden has been on vacation for almost a year
00:01:35.600of the two and a half years he's been president. And now it's time for our special guest here today
00:01:42.180on The Great America Show to take up many of the issues that face the nation. A man who was always
00:01:48.100on the job as president. He is the 45th president of the United States, Donald J. Trump. Mr. President,
00:01:54.820welcome. Great of you to be with us here on The Great America Show. The Marxist Dems persecution of
00:02:01.160you is now in its eighth year and you're crushing the Republican field of candidates for the nomination.
00:02:07.52033 percent ahead of your closest rival. Big, big numbers.
00:02:12.180Well, we've had some great numbers. We've had the best polling numbers, Lou, we've had in a long time
00:02:17.260and we had some good ones all along. So it's been it's a great it's a great honor. We're I guess one
00:02:23.640is 33 up. One is 42 up. We have one that came out at 52 up with all those people running. And
00:02:30.680Rhonda Sanctimonious is really hitting the skids. He has not proven to be a good candidate, which I had a
00:02:35.740feeling that he wouldn't actually. But a very disloyal person. But, you know, we have to save
00:02:42.320our country. There's never been anything like what's happening to our country. Lou, you know it
00:02:46.400better than anybody, frankly. I listen to you for years and you're at the top of the game. And I'll
00:02:53.280tell you what, there has never been a time where our country is in more danger or so incompetently run.
00:02:59.400Well, Mr. President, thank you for those kind words. And let me say that this has been a decline
00:03:05.000that I don't think many people could have expected accelerating through the first two and a half
00:03:10.880years of the Biden presidency. The the the commitment recently to Ukraine again, Biden adding to the
00:03:20.460overall the billions of dollars now agreeing to send long range missiles, cluster bombs, bringing up
00:03:27.4003,000 military reservists for the eastern flank of Europe. Your reaction to these latest developments
00:03:34.900following the summit in in Lithuania? And this is millions of people pour through our border. So we
00:03:44.160have people pouring through our border that are prisoners and people from mental institutions and
00:03:49.240terrorists and everybody coming from many countries, many, not just the four countries that we consider our
00:03:55.320neighbors, many, many countries and all over the world. They're emptying out their prisons into our country and
00:04:01.320we send thousands of people over. The other thing is Europe. You take a look at the European Union, you have
00:04:08.460them spending 20 billion dollars, maybe. And we're up to about 180 billion dollars, close to 200 billion dollars.
00:04:17.820Now we have our incompetent. He's grossly incompetent, as you know, and as everybody knows. But they're just I guess they're
00:04:24.440just playing games. But we have this very incompetent man wanting to get into World War three with nuclear weapons because
00:04:32.040that's what's happening here. At some point, the dam is going to break. But to send 3,000 troops on top of everything else.
00:04:40.660And, you know, I do ask this, Lou, and you've asked this question many times. Why is it the European Union or Europe?
00:04:47.360Why are they? It certainly affects them more than us. Why are they catching up? Why aren't they putting up their 200 billion dollars?
00:04:53.820How come we're so far advanced in terms of money spent and in terms of everything else that we're giving?
00:05:00.120And it's a very unfair situation. Very, very bad. And it's a war that should have never happened.
00:05:04.580This would have never happened if the election weren't rigged.
00:05:07.720This would have never, ever happened. Not in a million years. And China wouldn't be talking about Taiwan either, Lou, as you know, very well.
00:05:14.980The election of 2020 having profound consequences. And as you mentioned, China, China bellicose.
00:05:23.420She making all sorts of threats about Taiwan, threatening the United States directly, insinuating its power into the Caribbean,
00:05:33.040to Central America, South America, without any response whatsoever from this administration.
00:05:39.420Well, the Cuba thing is beyond, I mean, anything that anybody would have thought even possible that they do.
00:05:46.860They used to respect our country and they're, you know, the president of our country very greatly.
00:05:52.740And as you know, I took in hundreds of billions of dollars in taxes and tariffs from China and gave $28 billion to the farmers.
00:06:02.620But they had respect for us. Tremendous respect.
00:06:05.240They didn't treat us like they treat these people, the way they lecture us and tell us they laugh at our people, our representatives.
00:06:12.160But in particular, they laugh at our president. They can't even believe what's happening to them.
00:06:16.640And obviously, there's got to be something that they have, because how a man can be so – I mean, how does a man allow China to move their military to Cuba?
00:06:29.060And, you know, the Cuban Americans that are all over Miami and all over Florida and other places,
00:06:34.260they better get used to the fact that with the Biden and with the Democrats, they're never going to see their island again.
00:06:40.060They're never going to be seeing Cuba again, because Cuba essentially is being taken over by the Chinese, 90 miles off our coast, by the way.
00:06:48.020And they're building all sorts of military installations. And nobody even talks about it. Nobody.
00:06:54.460The press doesn't talk about it. The press is so corrupt.
00:06:58.580And I mean, it's just – who would believe that we could be in a position like this on top of Afghanistan,
00:07:03.860that horrible, most embarrassing time in the history of our country.
00:07:08.520We surrendered. And they kept $85 billion worth of the best equipment in the world, tanks and planes and everything else.
00:07:15.820And they take – they killed our soldiers. You look – I mean, you had 13 soldiers die,
00:07:21.500and nobody ever talks about all of the many, many soldiers that have been so horrifically wounded with legs and arms and everything else.
00:07:28.400It's really sad. And to watch what's happening – you know, I don't know if you know,
00:07:32.940Afghanistan now is one of the top arms merchants in the world.
00:07:37.160They're selling the 700,000 guns that we left them and rifles and everything else, the best.
00:07:43.88070,000 vehicles, many of them armor-plated.
00:07:47.480They're becoming – they became a major arms dealer with – because they don't need that.
00:07:51.800They just need 5% of what we gave them.
00:07:54.660And so it's a terrible thing that's happening to our country, just a terrible thing.
00:07:58.780There's no respect whatsoever for our leadership, and they are just taking advantage of the United States.
00:08:04.440This would not have happened with Trump as your president, as you know.
00:08:38.080Mr. President, let's turn to politics a bit here.
00:08:41.600And that is, as you watch what is happening with the White House, trying – the Secret Service, they're telling everyone that they're going to conduct a two-week investigation.
00:08:51.900If they don't have a suspect, that there will be no further inquiry.
00:08:57.080I haven't heard many – any, frankly, statements from the bureaucracy that arrogant and that just mind-boggling in its logic.
00:09:08.540So, obviously, I know the area very well.
00:09:12.020It's very close to probably the most important room anywhere in the world, the Situation Room.
00:09:17.140If you think about it, Lou, I was saying it the other day.
00:09:19.600I think it's the most important room in the world.
00:09:57.440But to think that the Situation Room, which is just cameras all over the place, that they aren't able to find the person that brought it, probably to be picked up by somebody else.
00:10:09.620And there are those people that think they know who that somebody else is.
00:10:13.060And maybe they just forgot about the pickup or something happened, just like they forgot about a laptop.
00:10:19.360They forgot to pick that up, even though they warned many times, come pick it up.
00:10:23.020It's a very, very sad thing for our country.
00:12:24.020China has given their family millions of dollars and they know everything.
00:12:28.660And they have, you know, whether it's at the Penn Center, it looks like they get a tremendous amount of money from that where they keep documents, by the way.
00:12:58.620It's just probably there's no investigation.
00:13:01.120And by the way, they probably have 20 times, 30 times the number of documents that we're talking about.
00:13:06.940And I was allowed to do it under the Presidential Records Act and also the Clinton Sox case.
00:13:12.220You got to read this because it's a disgrace that they're even doing this.
00:13:16.000But you don't hear anything about Biden.
00:13:18.920He kept documents, classified documents, under the wheels of his Corvette in a garage where you could have cut the door open with paper scissors.
00:13:27.280So it's very sad to see what's happening with our country.
00:13:31.760The Justice Department or the Injustice Department, as we call it, is literally weaponized.
00:13:38.660It's weaponized against a political candidate that's leading.
00:13:42.900Think of it, a political candidate that's leading Biden by many points and also leading the Republicans by many points.
00:13:52.660Nobody thought it was possible over nonsense.
00:13:54.680It is an extraordinary comparison, as you point out.
00:14:00.300What do you say to the fact the Department of Justice and the FBI spent nearly $9 million investigating you in the so-called documents case
00:14:09.340and only about a half a million dollars in pursuing the case against Joe Biden during basically the same time period?
00:14:20.880It's quite a breathtaking difference, isn't it?
00:14:24.940With 20 times the number of documents.
00:14:27.440Don't forget, 1,850 boxes of documents are at the, I guess it's University of Delaware.
00:14:34.860And they don't want anybody to go in there.
00:14:38.400They've precluded people from going in.
00:14:40.960Now maybe they'll have no choice but to open it up.
00:14:43.500Some of those documents are classified were taken out when he was a senator, which is you can't do that.
00:14:48.300As president, again, you're covered with the Presidential Records Act, 100%.
00:18:27.180We've got to make America great again.
00:18:28.820Thanks to you and thanks to all that you've had to endure over the course of your presidency and since you left the White House.
00:18:37.680Americans now know this government is corrupt.
00:18:39.860How satisfied are you with these committees, what they are exposing, what they're revealing about the corruption of the Biden regime, the Biden crime family, if you will?
00:18:50.800So I think Jim Jordan is fantastic and Jamie Comer is fantastic.
00:18:56.260I think they've done a fantastic job, both of them heading up the committees, the people on the committees, Matt Gaetz and all of them.
00:19:04.000I could go through a whole list of names.
00:19:06.680It would be very helpful if you had the president as opposed to, you know, there's not a lot they could do other than impeach and, you know, do certain things that some people want to see done.
00:19:21.080But I think they've done a fantastic job.
00:19:23.100I mean, the money that they're finding that's being, you know, put into the tills of the Biden family is unbelievable.
00:19:30.820The numbers I listened to that extortion call.
00:19:33.760That was an extortion call the other day where, you know, Hunter Biden is really putting the move on some guy in China, a high official of communist China for five point two million dollars.
00:19:48.380And I guess a week later, they got the money.
00:20:04.640But even if you go back even and look at where we're not getting a billion dollars, you're not getting a billion dollars if you don't change the prosecutor.
00:20:12.440Can you imagine if I ever made a statement like that?
00:20:15.880I mean, they impeached me over a perfect phone call.
00:21:02.000Do you think these committees should move toward impeachment because of just the huge amount of evidence that is in front of the American people now?
00:21:09.460Well, nobody's ever seen it where millions and millions of dollars is pouring into a family.
00:21:15.580And, you know, like as an example, we've given close to 200 billion dollars to Ukraine.
00:21:21.780A lot of people agree with it and a lot of people don't.
00:21:25.420But I will say as time goes by and as they see the kind of numbers that we're talking about.
00:21:29.640And, you know, and I have to say it would have never happened if I was president and I could solve that in one or two days.
00:22:07.660I think what happened is when they went into Afghanistan, when they tried to, so sadly, when they surrendered and it was so incompetent where we took the military out first.
00:22:20.480You know, we were leaving Afghanistan, but we were going to keep Bagram.
00:22:24.000Bagram's one hour away from where China makes nuclear weapons.
00:25:08.660And, you know, it's just so sad what they're doing to our country.
00:25:12.600I think what they're doing to the country and their motivation of this administration and the Marxist nims who lead this administration, I think most Americans understand how impaired Joe Biden is and how corrupt he is.
00:25:30.120And I believe that one of the reasons that you're so high in the polls is they understand there's unfinished business from the Trump administration that you demonstrated.
00:25:40.840There could be a wall at the southern border.
00:25:43.080You demonstrated we could recall troops from, you know, every seemingly every one of 192 countries around the world and that we could adopt a modest foreign policy.
00:25:55.960And as you demonstrated, energy independence and drive business and markets as they've never been.
00:26:03.860How long do you believe it would take you upon winning in 2024 and taking office?
00:26:11.460How long do you think it would take to just be just begin to reverse the damage that this administration has done to the United States?
00:27:04.540And one of the things we have to do, very vital, is all of these prisoners and mental institution people that have come into our country and terrorists, we're going to get them out.
00:27:14.060We're going to have to get them out fast because they're going to be big trouble into the future.
00:27:18.240You know, I was very strong with the ban and I got criticized for the ban.
00:27:22.500But we didn't have any problems, did we, for four years, Lou?
