00:01:15.020 Hello, everybody. I'm Lou Dobbs and welcome to The Great America Show.

00:01:26.800 Thanks for joining us.

00:01:28.480 The embattled first son, Hunter Biden, has been indicted by special counsel David Weiss.

00:01:34.400 Hunter indicted on three counts relating to false certifications in a gun purchase in which he lied about using narcotics.

00:01:41.960 At the time he made that application for buying the firearm, Hunter was a heavy crack and cocaine user.

00:01:49.860 Special counsel David Weiss brought these charges against Hunter Biden.

00:01:54.340 One count of making a false and fictitious statement intended and likely to deceive the gun dealer with respect to the lawfulness of the sale of a firearm.

00:02:02.920 One count of lying on Form 4473 that he was not an unlawful user of and addicted to any stimulant, narcotic drug, and any other controlled substance.

00:02:15.920 And one count of possessing a firearm knowing he was an unlawful user and addicted to drugs.

00:02:22.520 If convicted, Hunter could face up to 25 years in prison for those crimes.

00:02:28.320 It's noteworthy that Weiss did not bring a single charge against Hunter Biden in connection with the tax-related offenses that the then U.S. attorney was investigating, like defrauding the federal government.

00:02:42.100 I also believe it's outrageous.

00:02:44.660 And if you still doubt the fixes in for Hunter, think about this.

00:02:48.100 Don't you find it more than just a little odd that the only charge Hunter Biden was indicted on is the one and only crime that doesn't link him directly to Joe Biden?

00:02:59.780 I think that's very instructive.

00:03:02.580 Now that Hunter Biden's been charged this week, I'm sure we can soon expect another round of retaliatory investigations or perhaps indictment of President Trump has happened each time anyone has stepped forward to come out against the Bidens.

00:03:17.360 And while Hunter Biden deals with his indictment, Joe Biden is forced to deal with the Congress's impeachment inquiry of the president and his involvement in Hunter's business dealings.

00:03:29.100 Yesterday, Speaker McCarthy was asked by the left-wing Associated Press why McCarthy had launched an impeachment inquiry, quote, without any evidence, end quote.

00:03:39.880 Listen to McCarthy dress down the Marxist-Dem activist, so-called AP journalist.

00:03:47.360 What impeachment inquiry is to do is to get answers to questions.

00:03:50.940 Are you concerned about all the stuff that was just recently learned?

00:03:55.560 Do you have any concern?

00:03:57.360 Have you asked the White House any questions?

00:03:59.280 Yes.

00:03:59.860 Okay.

00:04:00.060 Do you agree that, do you believe the president lied to the American public when he said he never talked to his son about business dealings?

00:04:09.680 Yes or no?

00:04:10.460 It's all right.

00:04:11.500 I can't answer that.

00:04:12.740 You can't answer that?

00:04:14.740 Do you believe when they said the president went on conference calls, do you believe that happened?

00:04:21.060 That's what the testimony says.

00:04:22.440 Do you believe the president went to Cafe Milano and had dinner with the clients of Hunter Biden who believes he got those clients because he was selling the brand?

00:04:32.280 That's what the testimony says.

00:04:33.020 Do you believe Hunter Biden, when you saw the video of him driving a Porsche, that he got $143,000 to buy that Porsche the next day?

00:04:42.300 Do you believe the $3 million from the Russian oligarch that was transferred to the shell companies that the Bidens controlled after the dinner from Cafe Milano took place?

00:04:53.640 That's what the testimony says.

00:04:54.480 Okay, then I go back.

00:04:55.340 Do you think the president lied that he...

00:04:57.400 But is that an impeachable, is lying an impeachable?

00:04:59.560 Well, you want to know, I'm not saying impeachment.

00:05:02.140 All I'm saying is, I would like to know, answer these questions.

00:05:04.780 The American public ought to know, and that's what impeachment inquiry provides.

00:05:07.640 It sounds like McCarthy's finally come up to speed with the evidence that Chairman James Comer and Chairman Jim Jordan have produced in these investigations.

00:05:16.160 In just a few moments, we'll be joined by Congressman Scott Perry.

00:05:20.080 He's the chairman of the House Freedom Caucus.

00:05:22.440 He was in a meeting yesterday with McCarthy where the Speaker of the House laid out the roadmap forward for the impeachment inquiry.

00:05:30.740 President Trump is awaiting his own trial in four criminal cases, and one of those is in Fulton County, Georgia, with the Marxist-Dem district attorney Fannie Willis.

00:05:40.840 And it seems Trump got his first victory.

00:05:43.980 Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee ruled that Trump won't stay in trial in October

00:05:50.280 as the Marxist Willis had pushed for, and rejected Willis' bid also to have all 19 co-defendants tried together.

00:05:59.780 Defendants Sidney Powell and Kenneth Cheesebrough file for a speedy trial and will head to trial next month.

00:06:06.160 But the judge warned the rest of the defendants in the case could also be split up and tried separately.

00:06:12.120 A federal judge in Texas this week ruled that the Obama-era DACA program is illegal.

00:06:20.760 Judge Andrew Hannon agreed with the Texas government and eight other state governments that DACA is unconstitutional.

00:06:28.800 Judge Hannon wrote in his 40-page ruling that the solution for these deficiencies lies with the legislature, not the executive, nor the judicial branches.

00:06:38.180 Congress, for any number of reasons, has decided not to pass DACA-like legislation.

00:06:44.600 The executive branch can't usurp the power bestowed upon Congress by the Constitution, even to fill a void.

00:06:52.900 The judge clearly saying President Obama overstepped his boundaries when implementing the illegal program for children of illegal immigrants.

00:07:01.000 The case will now head back to the Supreme Court, where that court is likely to hear arguments for a third time.

00:07:09.040 Turning now to one of the world's most voluble disruptors of elections, none other than George Soros,

00:07:15.020 it turns out elections aren't the only thing Soros interferes in and influences dramatically.

00:07:21.260 Get ready for this one.

00:07:22.640 Breitbart News reporting that the Native American activist group that succeeded in forcing the Washington Redskins football team

00:07:30.640 to change their name was funded by none other than George Soros.

00:07:36.500 It seems there's no end to Soros' influence, whether elections or football teams, you name it, Soros seems to be involved.

00:07:45.740 Joining us now, as promised, is the chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, Congressman Scott Perry.

00:07:51.000 Congressman, great to have you with us here on The Great American Show again.

00:07:54.300 And, as always, welcome.

00:07:56.740 The Republican conference had a very important meeting laying out the steps forward in the Biden impeachment inquiry.

00:08:03.840 Can you tell us how the impeachment inquiry will go and how your briefing went with the speaker?

00:08:09.880 Well, the inquiry is necessary, Lou, because, and thanks for having me on, by the way, good morning.

00:08:14.440 The inquiry is necessary because we've kind of reached our limit of what we can do without the special provisions of the inquiry.

00:08:22.880 And so we need to be issuing subpoenas.

00:08:25.540 We need to see all the bank records.

00:08:27.220 Understand, and I think you do know this, Lou, you've probably been, maybe many Americans haven't been keeping up with the news,

00:08:34.280 but I know you have.

00:08:35.820 There's a mountain of evidence that leads to what looks like what appears to be high-level corruption in the Biden family.

00:08:43.100 And when I say a mountain of evidence, I'm talking about not only the stuff that is evident on Hunter Biden's laptop,

00:08:50.820 but the stuff on the bank records we already received.

00:08:53.860 And they were born out of the suspicious activity reports, numerous suspicious activity reports.

00:09:00.200 And what they are is the bank sees something suspicious being conducted, and they have to report it to the Treasury.

00:09:06.740 And we're talking about volumes of these suspicious activity reports that show that something nefarious is happening.

00:09:14.540 We're up to and including $20 million, maybe more, transferred to the Biden family.

00:09:20.880 And when I say the Biden family, we don't know the extent of that.

00:09:23.860 And that's one of the problems, which is why we need the subpoena power that the inquiry will afford us.

00:09:31.320 So we need to know where all the money came from, where it went to.

00:09:35.000 That's unclear right now.

00:09:36.500 And, of course, in all of this, what were these foreign actors paying for? 0.78

00:09:41.380 What was the service?

00:09:42.560 What was the product that the Biden family was providing?

00:09:46.300 And what was Joe providing in this family enterprise?

00:09:50.400 Understand that folks like the president's daughter-in-law received some of these payments.

00:09:55.920 What was she providing?

00:09:57.140 What service or what product was she providing?

00:09:59.900 And we also know that the president used a pseudonym.

00:10:05.520 He made his own name up for communications, literally thousands of them at this point.

00:10:11.640 We only know some of them, but at least on some of them, you might understand the president making a pseudonym for email traffic and communication between his family.

00:10:22.960 But that would be what time is the family picnic?

00:10:26.680 How is your daughter?

00:10:28.380 Is everything okay at home?

00:10:29.900 That's not what did the member of Burisma, the corrupt energy company in Ukraine, what did they say?

00:10:39.360 What is their interest in our policy in America?

00:10:42.920 What are we doing about that?

00:10:44.100 That shouldn't be the conversation.

00:10:46.320 And so we need to see the rest of those emails.

00:10:49.200 As you know, Lou, like I said, there's a mountain of evidence here pointing to corruption, and I'm just kind of scratching the surface here.

00:10:58.780 But $20 million is not an insignificant amount of money.

00:11:02.960 The suspicious activity reports are there for a reason.

00:11:06.640 20 separate shell companies.

00:11:08.980 You only do that if you're trying to launder money.

00:11:11.780 Laundering money in itself is illegal.

00:11:13.760 What was Joe Biden's connection to these things?

00:11:16.560 If he wants to have his name cleared, he can either be forthcoming himself and provide all this information, or we're going to have to go find it.

00:11:24.100 But right now, it's headed in the other direction.

00:11:26.720 It's not heading in the direction of clearing his name.

00:11:29.120 It's heading in the direction of implicating him very directly in what looks like money laundering, influence peddling, and maybe bribery and extortion.

00:11:43.360 And those are very significant allegations and potentially crimes.

00:11:48.260 We simply, the American people, need to know.

00:11:50.400 And none of this, Lou, none of this would be happening.

00:11:52.860 None of this information would be available to the American people who wouldn't know any of this if it weren't for Republicans being in charge of the Congress.

00:12:00.680 The Democrats would have completely swept this under the rug, and this would have been gone for all time.

00:12:07.060 Well, the Democrats are still sweeping, and they're sweeping even harder now.

00:12:10.960 Well, you're up against what looks to me to be not only the crime of actually this nation's history.

00:12:18.560 This is vast corruption on the face of it.

00:12:21.800 What the public already knows is a result of the four investigating committees.

00:12:26.240 What those committees have produced to this point is without question probable cause for an impeachment, let alone an impeachment inquiry.

00:12:35.160 That's exactly right.

00:12:36.800 Yeah, that's exactly right, Lou.

00:12:38.240 This is probable cause.

00:12:39.860 We are proceeding judiciously.

00:12:42.420 We never want to besmirch someone's reputation unduly.

00:12:46.000 But these are the things that the president, the president's family, have engaged in themselves.

00:12:51.460 And we have a duty of oversight.

00:12:53.200 When you get credible references and reports from FBI informants that say that the president of the United States extorted someone, that is very concerning.

00:13:03.400 And either we trust the FBI or we trust the president who says he doesn't know anything about his son's business dealings.

00:13:11.580 Now, we already know that's a lie.

00:13:13.220 That was already a lie because we also know the president not only met with these people, but called into board meetings and had conversations with them.

00:13:21.640 And so if there's one lie, how many other lies are there?

00:13:24.520 And so the credibility is in question here of the claims that there's nothing to see.

00:13:29.420 We have a duty.

00:13:30.540 The American people need to know that their president isn't selling out their country for his own personal gain.

00:13:37.200 It seems almost without question that that is precisely what confronts the people of this great country, that our president has done precisely that.

00:13:48.540 There is no other.

00:13:49.740 There is no idealistic response to the to the question.

00:13:56.560 Why did the Biden family receive all of this money from foreign nationals who also happen to be malign actors? 0.78

00:14:04.860 But what we also now are facing, and I want to get to this in some detail, we're looking at a Justice Department, a Internal Revenue Service, FBI, an intelligence community across the board that have been involved on its face again.

00:14:24.720 It's prima facie evidence of a cover up.

00:14:27.400 And it goes on and on.

00:14:29.620 And this Biden regime has without question been engaged in cover ups.

00:14:34.860 Leaving open a number of issues, including within that, Alejandro Mayorkas, Merrick Garland, Christopher Wray.

00:14:45.420 And what about those intelligence chiefs, all of whom happen to have been intelligence chiefs in the Obama intelligence community?

00:14:55.200 And his his role in all that transpired from 2015 and 16 forward to this very day in the political persecution of Donald Trump and the absolute pillaging of this country by this administration?

00:15:11.200 Yeah, it is breathtaking.

00:15:15.200 And, Lou, I think it is hard for Americans to fathom and to come to terms with the fact that not only their president, but the agencies that they so revered that you just named the Department of Justice, the FBI, the CIA, you know, the IRS, maybe not revered, but certainly respected.

00:15:32.520 And you wanted to at least trust them for doing the right thing that they could all be part of covering up these potentially fantastically exorbitant crimes by the by the president of the United States when he was the vice president of the United States or maybe even before that.

00:15:52.880 And so it's, you know, if you're watching some of the mainstream news outlets, you're never going to know this stuff.

00:15:59.340 And so Americans may be just waking up to this.

00:16:02.360 But this laundry list that that I've given and that you've already also added on to is just something that the American people are going to have to come to terms with.

00:16:11.360 Everything I've told you and everything you said remain fact at this point.

00:16:15.020 I mean, this Andrew Weiss, who was who was supposed to be prosecuting Hunter Biden and then now been put on as a special counsel, he didn't prosecute him at all and was willing to let him go on all these crimes that that aren't refuted.

00:16:29.460 The media, the mainstream media is not refuting these crimes at all.

00:16:33.780 But but there are other ones that they're not even discussion.

00:16:36.800 Where is the foreign foreign agent, the lack of foreign agent registry for Hunter Biden?

00:16:42.800 Where is that crime?

00:16:43.540 Yet they wanted to throw people like Mike Flynn in jail for this when he was the then the appointed member of Trump security team, national security team.

00:16:56.320 I mean, the duplicity and the and the two standards here are unreconcilable and the American people demand and deserve accountability.

00:17:08.840 And you are intent on bringing that account.

00:17:11.640 We are.

00:17:11.820 And we're talking with Congressman Scott Perry.

00:17:15.960 He is the chairman of the Freedom Caucus and the Freedom Caucus, by the way, is responsible for the fact that this 118th Congress has the powers that it does possess to move forward with investigations.

00:17:28.220 And we're going to ask you as we return here, Congressman, about just how far does this go?

00:17:34.940 And exactly what is the schedule for the Congress now in rooting out this vast, massive corruption, corruption of not only our White House, but the entire federal government?

00:17:47.860 We'll be back with Congressman Scott Perry, we'll be back with Congressman Scott Perry, chairman of the Freedom Caucus.

00:17:59.420 And Congressman, we know that the Democrats are going to fight you all the way.

00:18:04.540 We know that they're going to hide.

00:18:05.920 There is no there's it's a it's a candy rock mountain to think that suddenly Joe Biden is going to turn states evidence against himself, his entire family and the vast federal government that he has played a heavy hand in corrupting throughout.

00:18:24.020 So what is your schedule? How soon do subpoenas go out and how aggressive are we going to see these four committees be?

00:18:31.860 Well, if it were up to me, Lou, the subpoenas would already be issued.

00:18:35.900 But of course, the the announcement just came days ago.

00:18:38.380 So there's going to be some coordination required between the various committees about who subpoenas, whom and what bank records.

00:18:45.160 But I would think that that needs to be happening.

00:18:47.580 It is Thursday. That needs to be started happening by the end of the week.

00:18:51.560 These folks need to be called in.

00:18:52.860 The bank records need to be subpoenaed.

00:18:54.780 And, Lou, I think we also need to be start looking overseas because of the allegations from the FBI whistleblower about how the money is being laundered and how it's being hidden from view from the American people and from Congress.

00:19:09.480 And and I do want to comment a little bit on, you know, your your comment that, you know, we can't expect Joe Biden to turn states evidence.

00:19:17.000 Well, even if Joe Biden did turn states evidence, what makes us believe that the state would actually receive that evidence?

00:19:24.020 And when I say that the FBI, the Department of Justice, the IRS, they've already shown a willingness to cooperate and be complicit in these crimes.

00:19:32.460 And so that's the other side of this equation, Lou.

00:19:36.080 Not only must we investigate the Biden crime, what looks like a Biden crime syndicate, but now we must also fully investigate the agencies, including the Department of Justice, the FBI, the IRS.

00:19:49.260 And so I think that subpoenas need to be to Christopher Wray, to Merrick Garland, to the IRS, to the CIA, you name it.

00:19:56.760 They need to be dragged in.

00:19:58.060 We need all their documentation.

00:20:00.080 We need to know what coordination was made, especially on the prosecution of Hunter Biden, because we need to know that justice is blind.

00:20:07.140 And it sure doesn't appear to me that justice has been blind in this case.

00:20:12.640 And if it hasn't been blind in this case, how deep does that rat hole go?

00:20:16.520 Well, I think we we I think we all at least instinctively, intuitively know the answer to that.

00:20:22.180 It goes deep.

00:20:23.860 It goes very high in our federal government.

00:20:26.940 It is pervasive across every agency and every department of the federal government.

00:20:31.960 The federal government is no longer under the control of the American people.

00:20:36.720 Our consent is not required.

00:20:39.120 We are right now nothing more than this is a modern day serfdom that has been created by this Marxist dem coalition that is running the federal government.

00:20:53.640 And and people have to just start with that beginning.

00:20:56.400 I mean, you're talking about the American people and how little they right now understand.

00:21:01.000 I think that they understand far more than the Congress, frankly, and certainly the Senate.

00:21:05.720 I give them credit for 70 percent of those people surveyed know that these indictments against President Trump are all of them politically motivated.

00:21:15.280 They Joe Biden's approval rating is the lowest since Jimmy Carter.

00:21:20.720 This is the national left wing media wants to ignore these realities.

00:21:25.260 But the reality is the American people are waking up.

00:21:29.040 They are absolutely appalled.

00:21:31.080 They're shocked to their souls that their government could be this and that they would be the designated enemy of our own federal government.

00:21:38.900 Without a doubt, that's that's the circumstances in which we find ourselves.

00:21:44.900 And regardless of what the left is saying, regardless of what the corporate media says, we have a duty to trudge on, to find this information, to make sure it's known and to pursue accountability, whether it's with the president of the United States or whether it's with these agencies.

00:22:02.360 It is our duty. It is our duty. It is our responsibility. And it's going to be it comes fraught with peril.

00:22:08.320 As you know, the past president is dealing with that peril.

00:22:11.620 Some members of Congress, some members of the media deal with that peril for speaking their mind and bringing the truth to the American people.

00:22:18.900 But if you love your country, you must not turn your eyes away from the facts and you must you must at least acknowledge them, even if you might not agree with them.

00:22:28.660 Well, and I believe talking again, going back to the issue of the schedule, we need to see this Congress.

00:22:35.780 Now, these investigating committees start where at the incipient point, at least as far as a weakening the American people.

00:22:43.960 I believe the Congress has to start with a very high pro there's a there is a festering boil within all of this in the Biden regime and in federal government.

00:22:56.020 And that festering boil is all surrounding Hunter Biden and his noxious evidence that it was on his laptop, his many crimes that are just been delayed, deferred and sweetheart deals constructed.

00:23:11.800 And the first, I believe, subpoenas should go directly against Hunter Biden, because that is where that's the incipient point.

00:23:23.160 Well, we should definitely be talking to Hunter Biden and we shouldn't expect Hunter Biden, who is a flawed individual.

00:23:28.580 It is definitely indeed a tragic personal story.

00:23:31.320 That aside, we need to talk to Hunter Biden, but let's not think that Hunter Biden was the mastermind of this whole thing for now, maybe decades of grifting off the American people and trading on the brand of of Senator, Vice President and now Joe Biden.

00:23:49.060 And that's Hunter Biden's former business partner, Devin Archer's words, trading on the brand.

00:23:55.480 It's not mine. It's not mine. So if he acknowledges that and I imagine and you as you know, Lou, he was also intimidated from not coming in and speaking to congressional investigators in the oversight and Judiciary Committee.

00:24:09.460 He was intimidated by the Department of Justice. So let's wonder what he might have said had he not been intimidated.

00:24:16.280 And so those are the circumstances that we find ourselves in. This couldn't be the stakes could be higher for our country and the allegations could be more extraordinary in the face of a of a Democrat,

00:24:31.640 democratically elected president in a Republican, a constitutional republic where we depend on people of integrity to uphold the laws.

00:24:42.880 And if we're not going to if we don't, if we can't count on these people, then this is what we get, which is out and outright tyranny and grifting from the American people.

00:24:53.940 I don't think the American people are going to be willing to stand for it. They just need to be given the complete set of facts.

00:24:59.580 And what we don't have right now is a complete set of facts, which is why we need the power of the inquiry to either clear this president's name or follow down the path that the facts have currently taken us on.

00:25:10.440 We're talking with Congressman Scott Perry, chairman of the Freedom Caucus.

00:25:14.940 We're talking about the hypothetical that if we can't depend on our FBI, our Department of Justice, our intelligence communities, it's no longer a hypothetical.

00:25:26.440 We can't depend on them. We're going to continue that discussion with Scott Perry here in just a moment.

00:25:31.940 Please stay with us.

00:25:32.900 We'll be right back.

00:26:02.900 We'll be right back. 0.97

00:26:32.900 Joe Biden as, if not flawed, inept, two of the worst possible people you could put forward for the most powerful offices in this government.

00:26:43.440 And that is the responsibility of the party that did just that. 0.78

00:26:47.360 They knew their flaws.

00:26:49.200 They knew exactly what they were getting.

00:26:51.460 The American people didn't.

00:26:53.020 They foisted them upon the American voter.

00:26:55.800 There should be a great accounting for the Democrat Party for what they have done to the nation.

00:27:03.440 You're absolutely right, Lou.

00:27:05.420 And we all fall short of the God, fall short of the grace of God.

00:27:08.820 But we're not talking about that.

00:27:10.220 We're talking about not only incompetence.

00:27:12.860 And I think that most people realize that that President Biden isn't really in charge of much in Washington, D.C.

00:27:20.900 The staff is running the show.

00:27:22.860 And it's accolades of the left that are that are running our country by by their own committee.

00:27:29.020 And he's the he's the mouthpiece when he's allowed to go to the podium.

00:27:33.180 And they just hold their breath that he doesn't embarrass them and us further.

00:27:37.200 But that having been said, elections have consequences.

00:27:40.600 And the American people are seeing now the consequences of a radical left wing organization that has no interest in the greatness of America,

00:27:50.840 that has no interest in what has made us great, what has brought us to this point and what has kept us at the pinnacle of dominance of freedom around the world.

00:28:00.860 And now we're being challenged by by by Russia, by by North Korea, by China, certainly the fact that we're giving Iran the greatest terrorist nation on the planet, 1.00

00:28:12.440 six billion dollars at the same time that they are seeking nuclear weapons and a delivery system for which to deliver those weapons to the state of Israel

00:28:20.760 and to the United States itself should be appalling and shocking to every single citizen.

00:28:26.780 And then knowing that while all this is happening, there is a potential that that the president himself is is been compromised by the Communist Party of China

00:28:37.360 and by oligarchs and nefarious individuals in places like Romania and Ukraine and Russia should be shaking to the core to the American people.

00:28:48.280 We we have a wonderful country where we wish to breathe free, but you are not in a free country where you can't decide and you have no choice about what the what the leaders do with your money

00:29:00.260 and then tell you can't buy the stove that you want to buy, can't drive the car that you want to buy.

00:29:05.100 But yet you're supposed to support people coming to the country illegally in the tunes of thousands per month to take your jobs and take your hard earned pay in the way of benefits. 0.86

00:29:16.360 Meanwhile, you can't pay for the gasoline in your tank.

00:29:19.500 You can't pay for the groceries on your table and you can't pay for the electricity to light your own.

00:29:25.200 It's outrageous.

00:29:26.440 It is outrageous.

00:29:27.520 And what I can't understand, and I've been covering Congress and this political economy of ours for almost a half century.

00:29:37.380 This is I don't see congressmen standing up in their seats in in the House of Representatives screaming that this country is under attack because we are.

00:29:50.920 It is self it is absolutely evident.

00:29:53.720 We are not talking about a cover up.

00:29:55.840 We're not talking about just corruption.

00:29:57.520 We're talking about a federal government that has been taken over by a cabal of Marxist stems that control the Democrat Party.

00:30:06.560 And everyone in that House of Representatives knows that whether Republican or Democrat or independent.

00:30:13.300 And there should be no even suggestion, it seems to me, that this would not be all hands on deck.

00:30:21.040 A crisis recognized by our last and best hope, which is this Republican House of Representatives.

00:30:29.600 And to to to to make of it what they must.

00:30:34.520 And that is the future of this this country at risk.

00:30:39.280 They have to take action.

00:30:40.660 You have to take action.

00:30:41.940 And I know that the freedom without the Freedom Caucus, we know that Kevin McCarthy would still be drooling in a dark corner somewhere, sucking on his thumb, trying to have somebody in the establishment tell him what to do.

00:30:53.400 Well, we're in the absence of leadership as an army, as an army guy, Lou, you know, we used to say in the absence of borders attack.

00:31:02.000 And that's what the Freedom Caucus is going to do.

00:31:04.220 That's what we have been doing.

00:31:06.080 And unfortunately, the Republican conference has, you know, we're only strong as our weakest link.

00:31:12.200 And of course, we're not getting a lot of help from from many members of the Senate.

00:31:16.620 And so these are perilous times.

00:31:18.900 But we are going to continue to shout from the mountaintops that, yes, this nation, its citizens are under attack by its government, who is at war,

00:31:27.160 is literally at war with the well-being of the American people and the things they believe in and the things that they want from their federal government.

00:31:34.980 And we're for one, I for one, and the Freedom Caucus is going to stand up and shout from the mountaintops, shout from our seats every single day and take every single action.

00:31:44.500 We're going to war against this government that is weaponized against our citizens, against our bosses.

00:31:50.600 We will not accept it.

00:31:51.820 And every single day we're going to wake up with that fire in our belly to go stand up for the American people who feel like and understand and recognize that Washington, D.C. has left them behind, is not speaking for them, and does not care about what's good for them.

00:32:07.140 Well, God bless you, because war it is.

00:32:09.540 The war has been waged by the left, the Marxist left in this country for better than certainly a decade, perhaps two.

00:32:18.180 And it's time to join.

00:32:21.120 Well, I'm overdue.

00:32:22.400 Long overdue.

00:32:23.080 It's time to join.

00:32:23.520 And we need even the weakest links in our Republican conference to step up.

00:32:28.340 Don't worry about the next election.

00:32:30.260 Worry about saving this republic.

00:32:32.480 Do the right thing.

00:32:33.660 The power that we have is the power to take away the money from these agencies that are using our very own tax dollars against us.

00:32:41.140 That's the authority that our Constitution gives us, and we should use that full authority at every single time to the fullest measure.

00:32:48.740 And we should also use the power of investigation and oversight that the House of Representatives has to shine the light on this grand corruption that is right throughout this administration and its agencies.

00:33:00.600 Well, well said.

00:33:01.860 Well said.

00:33:02.660 And God bless you, as I said, for all that you and the Republican conference is doing.

00:33:08.540 We look forward to talking to you soon.

00:33:12.380 And I want to congratulate you as we conclude here on winning the court case in which you managed to preserve your privacy on your cell phone from the FBI and the Department of Justice.

00:33:27.140 Because God bless the court in this instance.

00:33:30.820 There's not many times I get to say that.

00:33:33.220 Well, that's true.

00:33:34.020 And I don't know that it's over yet, but we praise God for the victories.

00:33:38.560 And God bless you, too, Lou Dobbs, for staying in the fight with us.

00:33:42.560 Well, thank you so much.

00:33:43.960 We're going to give you, if you will, your concluding thoughts.

00:33:47.700 You always get the last word on this show.

00:33:50.200 Your concluding thoughts, Congressman.

00:33:51.720 My concluding thoughts are is that this investigation needs to be full steam.

00:33:57.080 Understand we're getting into the presidential election.

00:33:59.300 The Democrats are going to claim it's all politics to have to do with electoral politics.

00:34:04.240 It does not.

00:34:04.840 But we need to move with haste to bring everything to light in these investigations, including the agencies, which now must be under intense scrutiny.

00:34:16.220 That's number one.

00:34:17.120 Number two, we have got to use the power of the purse to defund these agencies and to bring them back in the line with the wishes of the American people.

00:34:25.820 Unfortunately, we've got some weak links in our conference and we're going to have to deal with them.

00:34:29.980 But we have to deal with them effectively and go to battle against a Senate and a Democrat party in the White House and in the Senate that is looking to spend more money

00:34:41.320 and weaponize more government against the American people that are forced under the boot of tyranny and the force of law to pay these bills. 0.78

00:34:50.040 They can't afford their groceries.

00:34:51.520 They can't afford gasoline or or the electricity bill, let alone a new car or a new home.

00:34:57.180 And and that's who we need to be fighting for.

00:34:59.320 And that needs to be our viewpoint as we go into this battle with a smile on our face, but resolve to save this republic.

00:35:05.960 And the only way to do so is to root out evil.

00:35:10.340 Scott Perry, thank you for being with us.

00:35:12.400 Congressman Scott Perry, chairman of the Freedom Caucus.

00:35:15.140 We thank you so much and God bless you and God save America.

00:35:19.780 Yes, God save America.

00:35:21.320 Thank you, Lou Dobbs.

00:35:22.120 God bless you.

00:35:23.540 Congressman Scott Perry, great American and chairman of the House Freedom Caucus.

00:35:28.180 Thanks, everybody, for being with us today.

00:35:30.140 Tomorrow, we bring you a Saturday episode of The Great America Show.

00:35:33.800 We'll be joined by Billy Bush, heir to the Anheuser-Busch dynasty.

00:35:38.260 We talk about, well, Bud Light, the woke culture and the impact on his once family owned beer company.

00:35:48.760 Follow me on Twitter and Truth Social at Lou Dobbs and on Facebook and Instagram at Lou Dobbs tonight.

00:35:54.260 And join us on Lou Dobbs dot com as well.

00:35:58.620 Let me share with you this quotation from a great patriot and minister.

00:36:02.120 When the Revolutionary War started in 1775, John Peter Gabriel Muhlenberg told his congregation this, quote,

00:36:12.400 In the language of the Holy Writ, there is a time for all things.

00:36:16.360 There is a time to preach and there is a time to fight.

00:36:20.220 And now is the time to fight.

00:36:23.280 Muhlenberg spoke those words to the congregation before leaving to join General George Washington's troops in Virginia.

00:36:31.040 Muhlenberg would fight in many battles.

00:36:34.860 He rose to Major General in the Continental Army and he served the Continental Army and the United States until 1783.

00:36:43.420 His words as true today as then.

00:36:47.100 Thanks, everybody, for being with us.

00:36:49.080 God bless you.

00:36:50.180 May God bless and save America.

00:36:52.900 May God bless you.

00:37:15.840 May God bless you.
