Hello, everybody, and welcome to the Great America Show.
00:00:03.400
As we come together here, a lot is happening in this great country of ours.
00:00:08.000
That's an understatement, of course, and there aren't many understatements on this broadcast.
00:00:17.880
There are all sorts of cross signals coming out of the White House and corporate America
00:00:22.440
as well about mandates, vaccine efficacy and treatments, and even the possibility.
00:00:27.860
Are you ready? The possibility that this pandemic could be nearing an end, but it remains only a
00:00:35.600
possibility. In the economy, the virus is still slowing business, particularly small business.
00:00:41.760
Employees by the millions staying home, and the markets are volatile, to say the least.
00:00:47.380
And politics even more so. A radical, dim January 6th committee acting like something out of the
00:00:57.760
Mr. Biden's answers were disastrous in his latest news conference, and his performance generated
00:01:03.540
more questions by far than answers, and certainly generated more questions about whether he's fit
00:01:10.080
to lead the free world. Questions about whether he can stand against Vladimir Putin and his designs
00:01:16.480
on Ukraine. Xi Jinping and ambitions about both Taiwan and the South China Sea and beyond.
00:01:25.120
Our special guest today is the 45th President of the United States. He is a leader who contended
00:01:31.180
with all the forces working to defeat America throughout his presidency. And throughout his presidency,
00:01:38.060
despite a subversive Democratic Party and hostile corporate media, President Trump made certain
00:01:44.160
always that America was first. Mr. President, it is great of you to be here. Thank you so much for
00:01:51.700
being with us, Mr. President. First, the audience. Thank you very much, Lou. Thank you, sir. Our audience
00:01:58.080
would first of all want to know about your well-being. How are you and your family? Well, I'm doing well. We
00:02:03.800
have a lot of things happening. We're watching the world, and we're watching some of the travesties, some of
00:02:10.380
the things that are happening right now. And it's hard to believe when you look at what is going on
00:02:15.620
with Russia and Ukraine. That was never going to happen under this administration. It was nothing
00:02:20.160
ever like that ever going to happen. Taiwan will be next with China. And lots of other bad things are
00:02:27.080
happening. It's and I think a lot of it started when we had that horrible execution, the way they did it
00:02:34.660
and not keeping Bagram right next to China, one hour away from their nuclear plant where they make
00:02:40.180
their nuclear weapons was disgraceful. I mean, we gave away billions and billions of dollars and
00:02:45.760
much more important than that. But the way they executed that withdrawal was a very sad day, and I
00:02:51.360
think it's only been downhill from there. But that was as bad as the borders have been, and they've been
00:02:56.100
the worst ever. I think that was the lowest point in the history of our country in terms of embarrassment.
00:03:01.020
Embarrassment, a shock, and a day of national disgrace. And I think most Americans are still
00:03:10.920
gut sick at what they witnessed and what we know to have happened and the fact that Americans remain
00:03:17.340
there. If I may, Mr. President, a lot of working Americans right now in this country are struggling,
00:03:22.560
as you know. The pandemic, the mandates, closed schools, shuttered small business, high inflation,
00:03:29.020
a slowing economy, fears for their families. I'd like to get your thoughts about very people,
00:03:36.840
the forgotten Americans, who you serve first and foremost as president, and your concerns about
00:03:43.820
them. Well, I'm very concerned about the economy. Inflation is rampant, and people are not working
00:03:50.340
like they did. If you look at what we did, we had the best wage picture in just about every other picture
00:03:56.160
for Asian Americans, Hispanic Americans, African Americans, everybody. Women, people with diplomas,
00:04:05.260
people without diplomas, every single group we were number one in. You look at what's going on right
00:04:10.000
now. I think two things. The mandates are a disaster. I really think they hurt the economy very badly,
00:04:15.020
really badly. And the other was the energy situation. We were energy independent,
00:04:20.820
and now we're buying from Russia. I saw something out today where we bought 18,000 barrels or whatever
00:04:28.960
during my last year from Russia, and now we're up to 206,000. Russia's doing extremely well, Lou,
00:04:36.980
extremely well with this whole thing. And I stopped the pipeline, and now they have the pipeline.
00:04:42.100
And we would have done great with Russia. We were going to do deals with Russia. We could have done a
00:04:46.920
wonderful thing with Russia. But now there's a lot of dislike, and I think there's a lot of
00:04:53.700
disrespect on behalf of Russia toward us because of what happened over the last year. They look at
00:04:59.700
what's happening with our country, and they're laughing. They are laughing out loud.
00:05:04.360
Unfortunately, they're not alone around the world in that regard. And in this country,
00:05:09.940
something that we didn't think we had ever seen. You talked about going from you created energy
00:05:16.680
independence for America. It took this president less than a year to remove our independence and
00:05:24.740
create dependency again. And now store shelves in many places are empty. There are shortages of all
00:05:30.800
kinds of essentials for all kinds of products. They're bare shelves. The corporate media calls all of
00:05:36.780
that supply chain disruption. But it is clear, certainly, that if corporate America had listened
00:05:42.740
to you and put America first, hired American, bought American, brought their plants back to the United
00:05:50.880
States, there would be no so-called supply chain disruption. There would be no shortages and no
00:05:57.360
bare shelves. Your thoughts upon witnessing of what we are witnessing today?
00:06:03.440
Well, nobody ever even heard the term supply chain. This was the thing. Let's talk about
00:06:09.720
the supply chain. It was automatic. It just was embedded. And it was embedded in a free
00:06:15.580
country, in a democracy. It was embedded in our country. Nobody, we didn't sit around and talk about
00:06:24.180
supply chain. Now, all of a sudden, that's all the two words that people are using most because
00:06:29.620
you can't get anything. You look at big grocery stores, big chains, they have empty shelves. 60,
00:06:37.080
70% of the shelves are empty in some cases. In some cases, more than that, they can't get food.
00:06:43.540
They can't get clothing. I just did a book, which is very successful. They sold 240,000 copies.
00:06:49.600
And we just ordered another 240,000, I guess, or more. And the publisher, the printer, who's one of
00:06:58.920
the biggest in the country, I think said he has eight plants. He said, well, we have one problem.
00:07:03.860
We can't get paper. We can't get ink. We can't get glue. And we can't get leather for the covers.
00:07:09.620
He said, I've been doing this for 40 years. I've never had a problem getting anything.
00:07:13.820
It was too much. I could have made any deal I wanted. Now I can't get even paper. He said,
00:07:19.340
I'm paying a huge premium to get things that normally I would have never even thought about.
00:07:24.100
So nobody talked about supply chain. And now we have even that messed up. Our country is a mess.
00:07:29.760
Our country is an absolute disaster. And what's happening on our border is not to be believed
00:07:36.720
what's going in and what's coming into our country, including drugs, by the way.
00:07:40.860
Drugs by the tons. At a record level. And you and Mark Morgan, your commissioner of the
00:07:51.740
Customs and Border Protection, he now says the number will be 3 million illegal immigrants who
00:07:58.880
have tried to enter the United States in President Biden's first year. Contrast that against what you
00:08:06.220
had managed to do despite the opposition of the Democratic Party, despite the opposition of the
00:08:11.880
deep state and many within your own party to be to build a significant part of the wall on that border
00:08:19.420
to bring down illegal immigration to the levels not seen in 30 years. Your thoughts?
00:08:27.300
Well, we got the wall done and could have been completed, totally completed in in three weeks,
00:08:32.560
three to four weeks. And amazingly, he stopped it right at the beginning, which told me that
00:08:37.800
either they're grossly incompetent or they are believers in open borders. But most of it's
00:08:43.540
completed. And if I didn't have to fight for two and a half years and don't forget, I had Paul Ryan
00:08:48.500
and Mitch McConnell fighting with me the first two years. But they really, you know, they they're
00:08:53.060
subversive as far as I'm concerned. But I got it done. I won lawsuits. I won 11 lawsuits and
00:08:59.300
many of them from Congress and the Democrats. We won and we started and we did almost 500 miles of wall
00:09:06.640
and really powerful wall. I got Mexico to give us free of charge, free 28,000 soldiers to guard us
00:09:15.280
because otherwise I would have had to put tariffs on them, I explained. And so we had the soldiers and
00:09:20.800
we got the numbers down. The lowest we've ever been in the country ever. There's never been anything
00:09:27.060
like it. The border was very close to being sealed. And we did a great job. And we stopped the drugs
00:09:33.800
to a large extent. I think drugs were down 60, 67 percent. Now I'm understanding drugs could be up
00:09:40.140
maybe 10 times higher than the highest level ever. Think of that 10 times higher. And that's the worst,
00:09:47.400
some of the worst drugs in the world pouring through Mexico, in many cases made in China and sent over
00:09:54.480
here. And it's the worst it's ever been. A year ago, it was the best it's ever been. Now it's the
00:09:59.540
worst it's ever been. So we did a great job at the border. But you know, when you do, when you
00:10:05.280
remand those orders, when you take away the orders of what we had with remain in Mexico, in other words,
00:10:10.520
when people came up, Lou, they had to stay in Mexico. Now you don't have to be a super genius to
00:10:16.380
know that sounds like a good idea. And they ended that. And they were just forced by the courts to go
00:10:22.260
back to it. But now they're going back to a very weakened version. And now they can't get Mexico
00:10:26.580
to agree to it anymore, which I did very easily. They were great. The president of Mexico is a
00:10:31.760
wonderful guy, actually. He's slightly different. He tends to be a socialist, but we got along very
00:10:36.900
well. But you know, when you look at what's happening with the drugs, with the people, the
00:10:41.620
human traffickers, the drug dealers that are pouring in to our country, Lou, they're destroying
00:10:47.380
our country. You know it better than anybody. You say it better than anybody. They're destroying
00:10:54.700
And you talked about China. China is the source of most fentanyl that is brought into this country.
00:11:02.580
Most of that does not come through the ports on the West Coast, as you know. But I think our audience
00:11:07.560
may be surprised to find that the majority of fentanyl, which kills thousands, tens of thousands
00:11:13.820
of Americans every year, is coming across that southern border. And yet the Democratic Party
00:11:19.260
is aligned with China. Corporate America is aligned with China because they want that border open. They
00:11:25.600
want that cheap, illegal labor still crossing that border. It goes on. And meanwhile, the radical
00:11:32.960
Dems, the neo-Marxists, simply regard it all as collateral damage, just so corporate America can have
00:11:41.300
labor so they can have open borders and, of course, more prospective Democratic voters. It's outrageous,
00:11:49.540
So when you look at what's happened and when you look at, you know, they probably, I don't know,
00:11:54.900
they have some crazy policy. You know, if they didn't cheat on elections, they're not a 50-50 party.
00:12:00.660
When you have defund the police, when you have no voter ID and sanctuary cities and weak military and all of
00:12:09.220
the different things, high interest rates. When you have high taxes, they're going to raise your taxes
00:12:13.460
like crazy. They already are. That's not a 50-50 party. They cheat on the election. And we found that
00:12:19.540
out very strongly. And I guess that continues to come out at a very rapid pace. But it's really sad
00:12:27.380
what's going on with our country. When you look at it, people are not even believing it. I will say,
00:12:32.500
so I'll be in Texas this weekend. We'll be fairly near Houston, Texas. We're going to have a tremendous
00:12:37.620
crowd. And I'm having, we're having more people show up now than we did before the election. And we
00:12:43.460
were strong before the election. We did great in the election. You know, I said, Lou, I ran twice.
00:12:48.820
The first time I did well. The second time I did much better. I got 12 million more votes.
00:12:53.540
We did much better the second time. Absolutely.
00:12:55.860
I said that to a reporter from the failing New York Times. I said, you know, I ran twice. Second
00:13:02.100
time I did much better. They looked, what do you mean? What do you mean? I said, well, I got 12
00:13:05.620
million more votes. Right? And I was told if I got the same number, you know, most get the same or less
00:13:12.900
if they run a second term. And you can still win when you get less. I was told by the smartest people
00:13:18.500
in the business. If you got the same number, 63 million, you win. And we got 75 million.
00:13:27.540
And it didn't work out that way. It really a disgraceful situation. You know that
00:13:32.980
you're very well. You covered it really well. And I'm so glad you have the podcast or whatever
00:13:37.860
you want to call it now, because your voice is so important, Lou. So important.
00:13:42.340
Thank you. Thank you, Mr. President. You know, it's a very simple thing. We're trying to get to the
00:13:48.100
truth. I was demanding investigations throughout. I personally can't say that one way or the other,
00:13:57.300
you know, that after an investigation, what would have been the outcome? But I do know this,
00:14:03.860
and I think most Americans, when they're honest, know this. There were so many irregularities,
00:14:09.380
so many anomalies, as they're called, so many bizarre instances where it looked like someone
00:14:16.020
was committing fraud, because otherwise, why would they put cardboard over windows to keep prying eyes
00:14:21.140
away? And why would they push away Republican poll watchers and not permit them near the counting
00:14:28.340
process? The list goes on, as you well know. Detroit, Pennsylvania, Georgia, the list goes on,
00:14:38.660
as we know. And the idea that people are trying to stop the investigations that are underway.
00:14:47.540
I mean, ball face trying to stop an investigation. They fight like hell so that the facts don't come
00:14:54.340
out. But the facts have come out, and they're coming out all the time now. I mean, at a level,
00:14:59.460
you see what's going on with all of the... They accumulate votes, and they put them in. You're not
00:15:04.660
allowed to do it. So many different places. They accumulate, call it ballot harvesting,
00:15:10.500
and they accumulate thousands of votes, and they just dump them. It's such a phony deal.
00:15:16.500
This whole thing with the ballots, you know, with the mail-in ballots, it's a terrible, terrible
00:15:22.420
thing for this country. This country, we don't have fair elections. We don't have borders. Think of it.
00:15:27.540
We fight for other countries' borders, but our own borders, we don't have. And we had it. It was
00:15:32.420
the strongest that we've ever had one year ago. And today, we don't have borders. That's why China
00:15:40.660
sends through the southern border, because there is no border. But they weren't doing that with me.
00:15:45.700
We had it stopped. It's an incredible thing. And then when you look at what's going on with Ukraine
00:15:51.860
now, I mean, this is just a lack of respect for us. Can you give us, if you would, your thoughts
00:16:00.100
about Russia, Ukraine, the obvious intent of Vladimir Putin to take over at least part of Ukraine, the
00:16:11.780
eastern portion of Ukraine, and the fact that this president simply will not say point blank,
00:16:22.100
this is a NATO problem. It is a European problem. We're your allies. But where are you? And where
00:16:29.780
are your forces to contend with Vladimir Putin and the Russian military that's massing on Ukraine's border?
00:16:39.940
Well, this is a NATO problem. And NATO is something that we, until I got here, you know, we were being
00:16:47.220
ripped off. We not only got ripped off with trade from Europe, you know, they're almost as bad as
00:16:52.980
China, as far as I'm concerned. They were ripping us left and right. And how many cars do we send out?
00:16:58.820
How many of this? None. But they send their Mercedes Benzes and their BMWs. They send everything to our
00:17:05.220
country. The trade was the one way. And then on top of that, we defended Europe, because they weren't
00:17:12.740
paying their bills. So when I got in, they said, you're not paying your bills. You got to pay your
00:17:16.980
bills. You're delinquent. And they said, well, does that mean you wouldn't fight for us? I said,
00:17:22.260
if you're delinquent, I wouldn't fight for you. No, you're right about that. This was at a meeting of
00:17:26.980
the 28 countries we're meeting. And somebody asked that question. I said, no, if you're delinquent.
00:17:33.220
And we had seven countries that paid and the rest of them were way short, including Germany,
00:17:37.860
by the way, which paid about half. I said, you got to pay your bills. And they said, does this mean
00:17:42.660
that? I said, yeah, it does mean that. The next day, billions of dollars came in. They said, we got
00:17:48.260
to start paying our bills. So I took in 400 billion dollars from NATO countries, 400 billion. But the
00:17:55.700
United States, until I came along, we were paying for almost all of NATO. They weren't paying. We
00:18:01.460
were paying for it. And then I look at this situation and they want us to go over. But I
00:18:06.740
will say that what Biden said was psychologically very weak and very bad. He said, oh, they're going
00:18:14.260
in. Oh, it was almost like an invitation to go in. No, we don't want to see that. But it was like
00:18:20.500
an invitation. He said they're going in. Yeah. It depends on whether it's a minor incursion or not.
00:18:27.860
And the White House had to spend days trying to sort that out. They never did, of course.
00:18:32.500
But now come reports that President Biden is considering sending 50,000 of our troops into
00:18:41.700
NATO countries to provide, I guess, a force against at least 150,000 to 200,000 Russian soldiers on the
00:18:55.700
western border with Ukraine. To start World War III. To start World War III. Yeah. It's just all so
00:19:04.180
crazy. And it would have never happened under me. It would have never happened. This wouldn't happen.
00:19:09.700
Taiwan, which will happen eventually with China, probably after the Olympics, would never have
00:19:14.740
happened. Now bombers are flying freely over Taiwan. And that would have never happened either. And Kim
00:19:21.540
Jong-un is sending, I have a very good relationship, but he's sending a lot of missiles up and on a daily
00:19:28.100
basis. It's our country is no longer respected. You know, if you don't have respect, I won't use the
00:19:35.220
word fear, but you could use it if you'd like. Our country is no longer respected. And a lot of
00:19:41.060
it had to do with that horrible, incompetent withdrawal from Afghanistan. Yeah. We left,
00:19:47.620
we left like we were surrendering. I don't call it a withdrawal. It looked like a surrender.
00:19:52.660
And don't forget, I spoke to the Taliban, Lou. I spoke to Abdul, the leader, Abdul. I said, Abdul,
00:19:59.860
no more American soldiers killed. They killed a lot of them during the Obama administration.
00:20:05.620
And I won't go into the exact conversation, but needless to say, it was tough. And he understood it.
00:20:12.100
And from that point forward, we didn't have one soldier killed. 18 months, we didn't have one
00:20:16.900
soldier killed in Afghanistan. Think of that. And then we leave like we're a bunch of babies.
00:20:24.260
18 months, Lou. Abdul thinks about it too. Yeah. And they're now meeting in Oslo to have a discussion
00:20:34.260
about the way forward for the Taliban and the European countries. Oh, can you believe it?
00:20:42.420
And they had a parade to parade our 85. And Lou, they had a parade to parade our $85 billion
00:20:48.340
worth of equipment down one of their streets. Okay. They paraded our $85 billion. How about this?
00:20:54.820
70,000 trucks, 70. You know what? 70,000 trucks. There's no car company in the United States that
00:21:01.220
has 70,000 vehicles. 700,000 machine guns and weapons of different kinds.
00:21:08.340
Night goggles, the best in the world. Better than we have. The latest model. Fresh out of the box,
00:21:13.540
Lou. Fresh out of the box. You know, they're good fighters, the Taliban. They fight good.
00:21:18.500
The Afghans are good fighters, but they never believed in fighting at night because they couldn't
00:21:23.060
see. Now they can see. Unbelievable. Compliments of the United States.
00:21:28.260
Well, and compliments of the president who made it possible, President Biden. There are other fears
00:21:36.420
as well for American citizens that come as a result of confused leadership. I'll put it that way. The
00:21:43.780
January 6th committee effectively creating political prisoners in this country for the first time.
00:21:50.100
Attorney General Merrick Garland calling and apparently ready to prosecute parents as domestic terrorists
00:21:58.500
because they raised their voices in a school board meeting. The left telling us that parents have no
00:22:04.020
place in deciding about the education of their children. We've got a corrupt government, as you well
00:22:10.260
know, that's turned against Americans. Many Americans are afraid of their government now. Your thoughts on that?
00:22:18.100
There's probably never been a time like this ever. And don't forget, they went there to protest the
00:22:25.780
results of the election. There were hundreds of thousands of people there, hundreds of thousands,
00:22:31.860
went all the way back to the Washington Monument and bigger than any crowd I believe I've ever spoken
00:22:38.820
to. You never hear about that. They never show you the pictures of that crowd. They show you the
00:22:44.660
people going down to the Capitol and all of that. They never talk about the agitators that were there,
00:22:54.980
probably Antifa and Black Lives Matter, etc. They only talk about certain other things. And there's a
00:23:02.980
lot of footage, there's a lot of tape, but they don't want to release it. There's some significant
00:23:07.140
suggestion that FBI instigators were there as well. We don't know in what number and what role,
00:23:15.300
but we do know that they do not appreciate the questions about their role and will not answer
00:23:23.380
them even when congressmen and senators are asking. So this is a difficult moment.
00:23:28.580
So hard to believe, though, because I do know a lot of the people in the FBI and there's so many
00:23:32.660
great people. So, so hard to believe. But then you see that whole thing with the Michigan governor,
00:23:38.740
which didn't sound right to start off with when I first heard it. But you see what's going up there
00:23:44.740
with her. She's another one. And look, our country's in trouble. Our country is in trouble.
00:23:51.700
Our country is never. I don't think we've ever had a time like this. And the people are very upset.
00:23:58.420
They're very angry about what's happening. They really are very angry.
00:24:01.940
Is the Republican Party united behind you? Are the Republican rhinos, are they willing to step
00:24:12.660
forward and follow your leadership? Are they ready to put America first? Are they ready to understand
00:24:26.340
Well, I think so. I mean, everybody I endorse just about wins. You know, I'm having almost
00:24:31.860
unblemished records. Hundreds of people I endorse. Recently in Ohio, I endorsed a man who's a wonderful
00:24:38.580
guy. He's he ran for Congress and he won and a lot of people running against him and he won. And
00:24:44.900
the people I endorse when you look, I think the record's 158 and two. It's it's a it's a record
00:24:51.140
that is I don't think anybody's ever had a record like this. If you look at the governor of Virginia
00:24:58.340
without my support, he would not have won. You know, they like to say maybe this is a new way
00:25:02.580
where you can run without Trump support. No, I helped him. He wrote me a beautiful letter.
00:25:06.980
I helped him a lot. And I'm glad I helped him. Nice guy. Good guy.
00:25:10.980
He seems and and I and he you know, he wouldn't have won. And, you know, when we when we help
00:25:19.860
and I and no, I think largely it's unified. I think the Democrats have always been unified.
00:25:25.620
Now they have a situation. I don't know if it's unification or not, but they have two people
00:25:30.900
that are doing the right thing for the country and they've become very popular in their states.
00:25:37.220
But they're doing the right thing for the country. I mean, Democrats don't mind. It looks like they
00:25:42.500
don't mind ripping our country apart. What they're doing is so bad and so evil. And that voting rights
00:25:48.820
bill, they call it the voting rights bill. That's not a voting rights bill. That's a bill to make sure
00:25:52.580
that only Democrats can get elected for the rest of the forever. Exactly.
00:25:57.540
Mr. President, I've got to ask you this because we've had so many reports about McConnell
00:26:02.900
being the source of the attempted friction between you and Governor DeSantis in Florida.
00:26:09.620
Is it your sense that he was the instigator of that nonsense, that McConnell and McCarthy are
00:26:16.660
working together to appear reborn as Trump Republicans on one day and then whomever they may really be the
00:26:24.740
next. Give us your thinking on that, would you? Well, I get along very well with Ron DeSantis.
00:26:31.540
I endorsed him and he went from a tiny number three, three percent, and he shot up like a rocket
00:26:38.100
immediately the following day. And it was over. The election was over the day I endorsed him. And then
00:26:44.500
I had to get him through the so-called star of the Democrat Party, who turned out not to be much of a star.
00:26:49.780
And that was he won the election. But, you know, I get along very well with him. McConnell is another
00:26:58.260
story. Look, I endorsed him. He only won because of me. He came to my office. He came to the Oval Office
00:27:05.300
looking for help. He was down to and heading south. He was not going to win. He was running against
00:27:10.420
somebody named Amy McGrath. And she was a good politician. She was going to win. She had 91 or 93
00:27:17.140
million dollars. She was ready to spend it. And I endorsed him at his request. That is very strong
00:27:24.980
because they like me in Kentucky and I like Kentucky. And I endorsed him. And he went up
00:27:30.180
20 points, 21 points when I endorsed him. Think of it. 21 points. He never went up 21 points in his life
00:27:37.220
because he has a lousy personality. Who the hell is going to vote for him? So I endorsed him. He'd
00:27:42.260
win very tight races. Give him credit for that. But he'd win tight races. And he went up and he won
00:27:48.340
by 20 points. He never won by 20 points before. And if I didn't endorse him, he would have lost.
00:27:55.700
And then he goes out and makes that stupid speech, which really was a bad speech for Republicans.
00:28:00.100
So, you know, one of those things that happens in politics. In politics, it's a tough and tumble world
00:28:07.380
out there, Lou. But if I don't endorse Mitch McConnell, he loses. Yeah, you've heard. You know.
00:28:14.100
But if I don't endorse Mitch McConnell and others, they lose. I mean, they lose.
00:28:18.260
Kemp, the same thing. If I don't endorse Kemp, he doesn't win in Georgia. And now he's got a very strong
00:28:23.760
challenge from David Perdue. And I think David Perdue is probably going to do very well because they're
00:28:28.960
angry at Kemp because of what he did, how he screwed up the elections in Georgia.
00:28:33.600
So we'll see what happens. But we have a tremendously strong base. We have, I think, like no other.
00:28:40.000
So when I go to Texas this weekend, they could have 70,000 people. I think they had 73,000 people
00:28:47.760
two weeks ago in Arizona. Think of that. We had unbelievable numbers in Alabama. When I went to
00:28:56.520
Alabama, we had 63,000 people. And, you know, the people are, they're looking for hope and they are
00:29:05.780
angry, a combination of both. You know, that's just about, by my calculations, that's about what
00:29:14.760
many people said that was about the total tally for Biden in 2020, those numbers. But I don't remember
00:29:23.660
ever saying it was pretty strange because I'd go to like to Arizona and I'd have 42,000 people show
00:29:29.240
up three times, two or three times, I think three times. And Biden would go and he wouldn't get,
00:29:35.320
he literally couldn't fill up the eight circles in front of him. You know, they had those big,
00:29:39.100
beautiful circles, which were artistically done, but they couldn't fill up the circles. And then you
00:29:44.680
hear you lost. You lost? How did you lose? And, you know, it's ridiculous. It's a shame for this
00:29:52.760
country. Yeah, I know how my family and I and my friends felt in disbelief and shock. I can only
00:30:03.540
imagine yours and your family. It's, and I think that as Americans look around at what is happening
00:30:10.380
right now, they would have missed you mightily, no matter what. And I won't speak for them, but I
00:30:16.780
will speak for myself. We miss you mightily, Mr. President, and thank you all of the best. And
00:30:24.200
it's, it's just great to hear your voice and your vision. The country desperately needs you
00:30:32.420
in every capacity that, that you want to, to embrace. We hope it's, as they say, for the whole
00:30:42.040
enchilada. So thank you, Mr. President, for being with us. We're very grateful. God bless you.
00:30:49.020
Well, thank you, Lou. It's an honor and say hello to your family and I'll see you soon. And it's so
00:30:53.520
important that your voice is out there and everybody appreciates that. Thank you very much.
00:30:58.540
Thank you, Mr. President. Thanks, Lou. Well, there you have it. The 45th president of the United
00:31:03.900
States. And I have to tell you, I've been an advocacy journalist for a very long time.
00:31:09.640
I will never tire of advocating for the 45th president of the United States. And yes, I sure
00:31:16.920
do hope he is the 47th president of the United States. I know most of you certainly do as well,
00:31:24.740
if not all. I think probably all. What a great, great discussion we had. It was just wonderful to
00:31:35.380
hear his views on so much and so much that is critical. The outcome to the conflict in Russia
00:31:44.660
now that could spread to the Ukraine. The South China Sea, where we've got two carrier groups or
00:31:52.620
Taiwan, where we must we must be prepared to defend that great nation. Its independence, its courage
00:32:02.060
is remarkable and worthy of our support. And I hope that this administration will not
00:32:09.140
go all wobbly go all wobbly on a great democratic nation who deserves its autonomy and its independence.
00:32:18.340
We thank you for being with us. We we thank you so much and look forward to our next discussion.
00:32:24.680
Thanks for being with us here on the Great America Show. I'm Lou Dobbs. God bless you.
