The Great America Show - REP. JIM JORDAN SAYS THE FBI RAID AND LEAKS ARE PART OF THE DEMS’ WEAPONIZATION OF OUR GOVT AGAINST REPUBLICANS AND CONSERVATIVES

00:00:00.000 Hello, everybody. I'm Lou Dobbs, and welcome to The Great America Show.

00:00:04.260 Delighted to have you with us.

00:00:05.900 We need all patriots to come together because President Trump, again, has been proven right.

00:00:11.260 He's always fought for all of us, and as he's said numerous times,

00:00:15.460 he's fought for us so that we don't have to take on the mad Marxist left ourselves.

00:00:21.120 The Marxist Dems and the deep state have intensified their political persecution of President Trump,

00:00:27.340 and he and his supporters are being assaulted almost daily in court through the Gestapo tactics of the FBI.

00:00:34.960 And now a mainstream Democrat congressman is not only campaigning against his Republican opponent in Ohio,

00:00:41.900 he wants to kill what he calls the extremist Republican movement.

00:00:47.180 Democrat Tim Ryan is not the brightest fellow in Congress,

00:00:50.540 and he's only aping the tone set by his party leader, our puppet president, Joe Biden,

00:00:55.700 who's been calling Republicans semi-fascists,

00:00:59.480 and it's clear now that the Marxist Dems have their very own Gestapo-like force doing their bidding.

00:01:05.620 The FBI raiding President Trump's home all over documents that are actually his.

00:01:11.100 They convened a grand jury to go after those documents in that raid on Mar-a-Lago more than a month ago now.

00:01:18.320 And the FBI, not only looking like the thugs they are,

00:01:21.960 but both President Biden and Attorney General Merrick Garland

00:01:25.300 lying through their teeth about not knowing about that raid.

00:01:29.600 We're taking up these issues, these events, with Congressman Jim Jordan today.

00:01:34.680 Congressman Jordan is the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee,

00:01:39.480 and he's demanding answers from this corrupt administration.

00:01:43.460 Congressman Jordan, always great to have you with us here on The Great America Show.

00:01:47.000 Let's begin with the FBI Mar-a-Lago raid and all that has followed since that Gestapo search and seizure.

00:01:54.860 Now, if you will, your judgment about what has become an extraordinary number of FBI abuses of power,

00:02:00.720 raids, illegal searches and seizures and leaks to the media directed at President Trump

00:02:06.260 and dozens of his key supporters and aides.

00:02:09.760 No, everything's a leak.

00:02:12.600 And then they, you know, they leaked out that picture of the folders with the word secret

00:02:18.000 and top secret written on the folders.

00:02:20.180 That's just how these folks operate, unfortunately. 0.96

00:02:23.320 But I think it's part of this bigger problem of the government being weaponized against American citizens,

00:02:30.340 against conservatives, against Republicans, against Trump supporters.

00:02:33.380 So think about it, Lou.

00:02:34.220 In the last four weeks, what have we seen from Joe Biden?

00:02:38.040 We saw Joe Biden raid the home of a former president.

00:02:40.920 We saw him take the phone of a sitting member of Congress.

00:02:44.560 We saw him call 75 million Americans, half the country, fascists and extremists.

00:02:51.240 And then he said to those same people, oh, by the way,

00:02:53.240 you're going to have to pay the student loan debt of the people who vote for Democrats,

00:02:57.600 you know, the good Americans.

00:02:59.280 You're going to pay their student loan debt.

00:03:00.640 And if you don't like it, just remember,

00:03:02.800 I signed the legislation that's going to unleash 87,000 IRS agents to come harass you.

00:03:08.040 That is the Joe Biden world that we now find ourselves in.

00:03:12.900 And it's why so many people I talk to are so darn nervous.

00:03:16.440 And the bottom line is, if they can do it to the president of the United States,

00:03:20.540 imagine what they can do to all us other Americans.

00:03:24.400 I think that is a fear well placed.

00:03:27.400 And the very idea that Joe Biden would refer to those who are MAGA supporters of the Trump movement as fascist. 0.99

00:03:40.640 He is the fascist. 0.99

00:03:42.340 He is the totalitarian. 1.00

00:03:44.260 He is the Marxist dim puppet of his globalist masters. 0.98

00:03:50.040 This is outrageous what he's doing.

00:03:52.220 And I've got to ask you, is there any way, because I know Americans are feeling this.

00:03:58.500 They are asking this question.

00:04:00.320 How do you stop what we're witnessing from this president and these Marxist stooges of his,

00:04:08.780 whether they be in the Congress or his executive branch or, God forbid, in the FBI and the DOJ?

00:04:15.720 Well, it starts on November 8th.

00:04:18.640 So it starts in 60-some days.

00:04:20.560 You put Republicans in control of the Congress, and then you can begin to keep them in check somewhat.

00:04:25.500 We can focus on the kind of investigations that need done,

00:04:28.060 and we can stop some of the crazy things that they are doing via the appropriations process and the legislative process.

00:04:34.300 And then, of course, you elect President Trump president in 2024.

00:04:38.120 So that's how we do it in America.

00:04:39.680 You do it at the ballot box.

00:04:41.080 You do it on Election Day.

00:04:42.560 And we've got to do those two things.

00:04:44.060 And I just think that it's going to happen because Americans remember how good we had it just 20 months ago under the leadership of President Trump.

00:04:52.320 So if Joe Biden wants to call us Trumpies like he did in his speech, I think, in Milwaukee or whenever he did that,

00:04:57.440 if he wants to call us that, fine, I'm glad to be called those up because I remember when we had a secure border.

00:05:02.960 I remember when we had stable prices and not a 41-year high inflation rate.

00:05:07.040 I remember when we had $2 gas.

00:05:09.080 And I remember when we had safe streets.

00:05:11.680 And I remember when government wasn't weaponized against us and they didn't come after our First Amendment, Second Amendment liberties,

00:05:16.780 didn't violate our due process rights.

00:05:18.760 I remember all that.

00:05:20.260 And, frankly, I also remember the kind of leadership you want in foreign policy from President Trump and his team,

00:05:28.060 his cabinet secretaries versus what we've seen from this administration.

00:05:31.080 So I think the American people just need to be reminded how good it was 20 months ago under the leadership of President Trump

00:05:38.020 and how bad it is today under Joe Biden.

00:05:40.540 I couldn't agree with you more.

00:05:42.340 And I've got to ask you, the money that is going out in tranches to Ukraine right now,

00:05:47.980 we know the Biden family is a crime family.

00:05:51.060 There is no factual dispute here whatsoever.

00:05:54.420 The Hunter Biden laptop confirms it.

00:05:58.160 The lies of the now President of the United States in the second debate,

00:06:03.520 he was straightforwardly lying to the American people changing history.

00:06:07.980 But right now we have a crisis as far as I'm concerned because no one knows where the national security team is.

00:06:17.980 What has happened to Jake Sullivan, Tony Blinken, Lloyd Austin?

00:06:22.220 I mean, I have never seen the entire national security apparatus disappear from sight.

00:06:31.120 What is going on and how concerned should we be?

00:06:34.740 Yeah, well, I mean, remember, these are the same people who were there for Obama.

00:06:38.500 I mean, Jake Sullivan, Wendy Sherman, Bill Burns, Tony Blinken.

00:06:43.920 This is the same crew that gave us the Benghazi tragedy. 0.79

00:06:47.680 So I guess I didn't expect a whole lot from them.

00:06:50.540 But, yeah, we haven't heard from them.

00:06:51.960 What I think is interesting is the last two candidates for president from the Democrat Party both had these international type of relationships.

00:07:02.440 The Clinton Foundation was taking all kinds of money in from foreign interests.

00:07:06.420 And then you had the Hunter Biden situation, which seems to be very similar.

00:07:10.620 It's kind of interesting.

00:07:11.560 That seems to be the pattern with the Democrats now, since the last two people they nominated for president sort of fit that pattern.

00:07:22.020 Again, they always come after President Trump.

00:07:25.220 They always accuse President Trump of what they're actually doing.

00:07:27.820 They always attack us with what they're actually doing.

00:07:30.560 That's just how the left operates.

00:07:31.900 And it's like we said earlier, it's really, really frightening and why it's so important that we throw them out of power and put Republicans back in charge.

00:07:41.500 You were the first congressman, the first one in the House of Representatives, to say if the Republicans win this election, that you will be leading investigations against this sordid mess that is laughingly called an administration.

00:07:58.240 Are we going to see vigorous, vigorous investigations in your judgment?

00:08:05.040 Yeah.

00:08:05.580 Yeah, I think we are.

00:08:06.700 I mean, look, we're going to deal with those that are in our jurisdiction, the Judiciary Committee, if, in fact, the American people put us in the majority.

00:08:13.820 We're going to look at the border situation.

00:08:15.420 Mayorkas has been a complete failure. 0.97

00:08:17.120 He's doing it intentionally.

00:08:18.300 We all know that.

00:08:19.400 As I said, we went from a secure border to no border, and they're doing it on purpose.

00:08:23.620 They're doing it in a premeditated fashion.

00:08:25.620 So we are going to look at that issue.

00:08:27.080 I think Mayorkas actually deserves impeachment.

00:08:29.540 We'll see what our conference, what the Republicans decide to do, if, in fact, again, we're in the majority.

00:08:35.440 And then, of course, we've got to look at the whole political nature now of the Justice Department.

00:08:38.780 The fact that we've had 14 whistleblowers, FBI agents, come to our office, come talk to the lawyers on the Republican staff of the Judiciary Committee over the past several months just indicates how serious this problem is.

00:08:52.100 And we will look at that issue.

00:08:53.820 And there's a host of other issues that need to be examined by other committees.

00:08:57.200 We need to look at all this, all the lies and misinformation we got from Fauci relative to the origins and how they went about dealing with the virus.

00:09:07.180 So I think lots of investigations have to happen, and we're committed to doing that.

00:09:11.240 And the CDC and the NIH, talking about Fauci, I mean, we're witnessing spectacular arrogance as well as your ignorance on the part of those folks.

00:09:25.360 The head of the CDC, who presided over the CDC throughout the administration, now declaring she wants to reform CDC, and Lord knows it needs to be.

00:09:37.480 But she was the person driving the entire mess that is the CDC.

00:09:42.740 Yeah, I mean, it's fine.

00:09:45.380 You say you want to reform it now.

00:09:46.500 How about just – you could start by just being honest with – I mean, I asked Dr. Birx a question.

00:09:51.280 This is back in – I think on June 23rd of this year, so just a couple months back.

00:09:55.760 I asked Dr. Birx a question.

00:09:56.960 He was in front of the coronavirus, the Select Committee on Coronavirus.

00:09:59.120 And I asked her this question when it was my five minutes to talk.

00:10:02.280 I asked a very simple, direct question to Dr. Birx.

00:10:06.440 I said, Dr. Birx, when the Biden administration told us that the vaccinated couldn't get the virus, were they guessing or lying?

00:10:15.500 And there was a pause, and then she said, well, Congressman, I don't know.

00:10:20.880 And the truth is they did know.

00:10:22.740 She subsequently said, in essence, they knew that when they told us if you got the vaccine, you couldn't get the virus, they knew that you could.

00:10:32.540 Now, look, we all know that the vaccine was – it's fine.

00:10:35.460 It's been helpful.

00:10:36.060 I get it.

00:10:36.780 But don't lie to us, the American people.

00:10:40.120 And don't lie to us and then turn around and say you're going to set up in the Department of Homeland Security the Disinformation Governance Board, as if it's the American people who've been spread.

00:10:49.440 And the biggest purveyor of misinformation is the stinking government themselves.

00:10:53.840 So come on. 0.93

00:10:55.040 So you're right.

00:10:56.940 There needs to be serious reform there.

00:10:59.160 That's something that, as we said earlier, needs to be investigated.

00:11:01.800 And I want to turn to, if I may, following that up, the very idea that the J-6 committee continues to behave as a Stalinist, Bolshevik committee without limitation.

00:11:22.120 What can be done by the Republicans when you win the majority in November?

00:11:29.740 Because this is an outrage against this democracy, this great republic.

00:11:35.280 Yeah, great question.

00:11:36.580 Two points I would make.

00:11:37.760 One, first, I think the American people, we know what they think about the January 6th committee.

00:11:43.240 We saw that a couple weeks ago in the election for – the primary election for Congress in the state of Wyoming.

00:11:50.360 I think that the country spoke loudly and clearly by what we saw in that election where Harriet Hegman, a great candidate, got 113,000 votes, and Liz Cheney got 49,000 votes.

00:12:04.500 And a significant portion of that 49,000 were Democrats who crossed over.

00:12:08.600 So I think that just indicates how much – what the country thinks about this committee.

00:12:13.880 But you're right, we had no – first time in American history where you've had a subcommittee where there was no ability to cross-examine, where the minority was not able to be there and depose the witnesses, view the transcripts after the deposition, and actually cross-examine witnesses in an open public hearing.

00:12:30.900 Never happened.

00:12:31.960 Did not happen.

00:12:32.640 So that's one of the things we're going to look at.

00:12:34.580 We're going to look at the depositions.

00:12:35.760 We're going to look at the transcripts when we finally get to see them.

00:12:39.180 And we may need to call some witnesses ourselves to get to the bottom of how this political partisan committee conducted themselves.

00:12:50.620 Outrageously, certainly.

00:12:51.580 And I want to turn to the president, again fighting the same deep state thugs and Marxist dims who are working hand-in-glove together, trying to, after six years – congressman, I can't even believe this.

00:13:07.920 It's been six years of political persecution, and people have been temerated to question whether it's Trump who's lying or the entire Department of Justice, FBI, the Biden administration, the congressional Democrats, and their leadership.

00:13:24.760 These are awful people doing awful things to a man who's been exonerated in every one of their conspiracies to take him down.

00:13:34.920 Yeah, we caught them lying about the FISA back in 2016 and 2017.

00:13:40.260 They were wrong and told us lies the Democrats did about the whole Mueller investigation.

00:13:45.000 They told us lies about the phone call he had with President Zelensky that became the basis for their impeachment.

00:13:50.980 But we're supposed to believe him now.

00:13:53.180 Like, come on.

00:13:54.220 So they've been out to get – you know why this happened, and you've talked about this so well.

00:13:58.240 The reason they go after President Trump is because he's fighting for us.

00:14:01.980 He says this – when he does his rallies, I told him it's one of the best lines he's ever said.

00:14:07.260 He said, they come after me because I'm fighting for you, and that's the truth. 1.00

00:14:10.980 We had a president who went to that town and said, I'm going to take on the clique. 0.90

00:14:15.380 I'm going to stand up to all the Democrats, to the mainstream press, to the big law firms, the big lobbying firms.

00:14:20.860 I'm going to stand up to them and fight for the American people.

00:14:23.180 And they, like – the clique went crazy.

00:14:25.880 How dare someone actually fight for the American people?

00:14:29.100 We've got to stop him.

00:14:30.120 They tried to do it before he got there.

00:14:31.460 They tried to do it while he was there.

00:14:32.700 And they're trying to do it now that he's left because they know he's going to come back, which is exactly what you and I want to see happen, him come back and run and win.

00:14:40.680 Absolutely.

00:14:41.920 No one else – I truly believe this.

00:14:44.860 I don't believe anyone else is strong enough or smart enough to do what he can do.

00:14:49.360 He's demonstrated that already.

00:14:51.180 And, by the way, it bolsters confidence on all Americans to know that you're going to be part of leadership taking on the rest of these obligations to set this country's course right.

00:15:07.960 I want to turn to the politics.

00:15:09.780 We're hearing from a number of pollsters claiming that the GOP is, quote-unquote, losing steam going into the midterms, as you say, two months away, less than two months away now.

00:15:21.360 Give us your sense of the politics of it because I look at the Democrats and I see evil.

00:15:27.020 I look at the Republicans and I see hope.

00:15:30.380 Your thoughts?

00:15:32.540 No, I think – look, these people are saying that it's not going to be a good year for Republicans and that we're in trouble.

00:15:37.860 I just don't buy it.

00:15:39.220 I think this campaign is about four key issues and then plus freedom.

00:15:45.100 And the issues are what we've talked about already, a little bit.

00:15:47.660 Secure border to no border, stable prices to record inflation, $2 gas to $5 gas, safe streets to record levels of crime.

00:15:54.880 And, oh, by the way, while they're doing all that to your communities, to your family, to your pocketbook, guess what else they're doing?

00:16:00.840 They're attacking your First Amendment rights, your Second Amendment rights, your Fourth Amendment due process rights.

00:16:05.360 They're weaponizing government to come after you, the people they've labeled as extremists and fascists.

00:16:10.380 Wrongly, of course, they're coming after you and they're weaponizing government to do so.

00:16:14.520 That's what this campaign's about.

00:16:15.960 And if you want more of that, vote Democrat.

00:16:18.360 If you want that baloney to stop, vote Republican.

00:16:22.100 It's really that big.

00:16:23.080 I'm on my way to an event to help our Senate candidate here in Ohio, J.D. Vance, who's got to win.

00:16:29.640 We've got to win the Senate and the House so we can keep Joe Biden in check until President Trump runs and wins in 2024.

00:16:35.880 Well, I know you've got a lot of ground to cover and a lot to get done between now and November 8th.

00:16:43.200 We appreciate everything that you're doing for the country.

00:16:46.460 And Godspeed and God bless.

00:16:49.540 Thank you so much, Congressman.

00:16:50.660 All right.

00:16:51.040 Thanks, Lou.

00:16:52.020 Thanks for all you do.

00:16:52.600 Take care.

00:16:54.500 Thanks, everybody, for being with us here tomorrow.

00:16:56.820 Our guest will be Congressman Louie Gohmert.

00:16:58.680 He's been vigorous in his demands for humane treatment of the January 6th defendants, who are effectively political prisoners of the left.

00:17:07.120 And also Bonnie Nichols, the courageous wife of January 6th defendant Ryan Nichols, who's been in prison for more than a year and a half without a trial.

00:17:18.480 You'll want to hear her story.

00:17:20.940 It is tragic and it is one of courage.

00:17:24.460 Join us here tomorrow.

00:17:25.380 Until then, God bless you and may God bless America.
