00:11:53.440And I think everyone understands that this is an administration that has decided it's going to put the cost of this
00:12:02.200on the local taxpayer, the local school system, the property taxes, property owners.
00:12:09.540And there won't be compensation of any kind.
00:12:12.220There won't be any offsets because corporate America wants cheap labor.
00:12:17.700And the joke, the veil, all of it, it's all over.
00:12:23.140The joke has been told, the cover has been lifted, the veil from the eyes of people watching this.
00:12:31.060They know that this is, without question, an attempt to set back the American worker to create competition for American workers who have plenty of competition from inflation,
00:12:43.380high energy prices, the price of houses and rentals going through the roof.
00:12:48.440And now he wants another five to seven million illegal immigrants in the country for everybody to pay for and to compete against the lowest paid American workers.
00:13:03.600Exactly what what we don't need in this country.
00:13:07.900It's outrageous. I don't see how they win.
00:13:10.640I mean, how do you campaign unless the electorate is just stupid beyond belief?
00:13:16.380And we know that the Democratic voters are willing to vote in blocks that are breathtaking in their uniformity and cohesion, irrespective of their own interest.
00:13:28.660Well, even even though there's a redistribution, the illegals come across the border and there's lots of evidence now they're putting on airplanes and flying them upstate New York and other parts at our government's cost.
00:13:43.140Now, the idea that this is these are someone and I'm not anti immigration, I'm very pro immigration, but I'm not I'm not for illegal immigration.
00:13:51.040And we're never going to basically ever have a decent immigration bill again, as long as this behavior continues, you're never going to sit down and justify the means that it's going to take to do this properly.
00:14:02.240So I think this is this is now the Democrat policy and they need to be paid the price for it.
00:14:08.880Let me ask you this. How does the Democratic Party ever be taken seriously again?
00:14:13.500In all seriousness, why should there be any discussion whatsoever with it?
00:14:20.180Why should the Republican Party talk about anything with Joe Biden or his administration or Chuck Schumer or Nancy Pelosi?
00:14:28.400They have willfully, knowingly conspired to overthrow a president.
00:14:33.180They persecuted him for seven years and continue to do so through the January 6th committee.
00:14:38.020We know that they have aligned themselves with the deep state, which is thoroughly politically corrupt, as we've discussed.
00:14:44.980Why would any Republican tolerate the presence of one of these these ignorant outlaws in the Democratic Party?
00:14:57.820We know that their purpose is to upend the nation and to destroy America.
00:15:05.400Well, they need more people like you who are telling them that, because what's happened is the country's got very numb to all that disinterested and the young people, especially they don't realize the consequences of it.
00:15:20.300It's just it's not going to be the same America that you and I grew up in and certainly not going to be beneficial to those who are going to go up and have to have to move forward.
00:15:29.740And the idea that in a very short period of time, turn the whole game upside down.
00:15:49.320We now learn that Iran is only weeks away from having sufficient enriched uranium to build their first nuclear weapon.
00:15:59.020And there is great concern being expressed by our brothers and sisters in Europe, the French United Kingdom, the Germans, very concerned because they've also shut down the cameras at the enrichment site so that no one can see what's going on.
00:16:15.860They've done so bald-faced, boldly, and basically simply dismissed the International Atomic Energy Agency from having any oversight.
00:16:30.060We now know we are at the precipice of Iran having the bomb.
00:16:40.400They're going to have to lead because this president sure the heck can't.
00:16:43.860This is the last person I would think even the Europeans would want leading on this critical and important issue as to whether or not we will stop Iran from putting that bomb into creating it into reality.
00:17:31.960Letting them build nuclear stuff is going to make us safer.
00:17:35.240It's the most absurd argument I've ever heard by the Democrats, but they're making it all the time.
00:17:38.760Yeah, they're making it over time, and the Republican Party isn't saying a word.
00:17:44.720Ed, this is the quietest I've heard Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy be, the leader of the Senate and the House.
00:17:52.740This is a party that is afraid to whisper, whisper their concerns or the issues that are confronting the American people.
00:18:03.400Even some solace would be of some help to the American working man and woman in this country and their families at a time when they're paying $5, $6 in California, $7, $8 in some places.
00:18:19.700Their rents are going through the roof.
00:18:24.060We can't feed our babies for crying out loud formula.
00:18:27.300We're doing airlifts of a baby formula for crying out loud.
00:18:33.580We're looking at the prospect of all kinds of shortages.
00:18:37.440What in the world is the Republican Party doing, trying to run out the clock, expecting a wave election in November?
00:18:46.260I don't even know what they'll do with a wave election.
00:18:48.240I mean, my sense is McCarthy is every single day is trying to make sure he doesn't lose any of his votes.
00:18:53.500And when you're worried about being a leader and you're not a leader, obviously, there's consequences.
00:19:01.920You know, the Republicans have a tremendous opportunity to go forth and win big, not just to win, but win big.
00:19:07.940But it'd be very nice if they run out with an agenda.
00:19:10.140If they have an agenda to take on the Democrats and articulate, of course, to the campaign when people are paying attention, what the Democrats are about,
00:19:17.780you have a better chance of taking that agenda and placing it in.
00:19:23.300But McCarthy's only worried about his own votes.
00:19:26.740And I want to tell him, I haven't been around the game for 50 years.
00:19:31.300Speakers don't do well after they get there.
00:19:33.940You look through the segment of the last Republican speakers.
00:19:37.720Nancy Pelosi will get a building named after her.
00:19:40.140That's about the ultimate a speaker can have.
00:19:42.440But in my lifetime, I've watched Newt Gingrich get driven out of office.
00:19:46.640I've watched Denny Astrid not only get driven out of office, go to jail.
00:19:53.720He watched Paul Ryan basically leave and go to work for corporate America.
00:20:03.260John Boehner, who basically ended up now selling marijuana on the board of some major company selling marijuana.
00:20:29.020McConnell, I think, is sitting here in the 50, 50, you know, and he has three or four issues that matter to him and everything else is not relevant.
00:20:39.640Well, one thing that's not relevant to him is the interest of the party or the interest of the American working man and woman,
00:20:48.260the Trump forgotten man and woman in this country, the America First agenda.
00:20:54.760I can't figure out what Mitch McConnell thinks his value is to the nation,
00:21:01.520but he certainly overestimated it no matter what he thinks it is.
00:21:06.480But I would just like to get a sense from you.
00:21:10.620As we you mentioned, Paul Ryan, I can't let that go with.
00:21:13.600I mean, he sits on the board of Fox, makes a few hundred thousand dollars, and then he's out trying to buck Donald Trump's endorsed candidates.
00:21:24.180And one that he chose to get rid of, and that's Tom Rice in South Carolina.
00:21:32.640So naturally, Paul Ryan's trying to get some relevance by going out there and boosting him and claiming the Republican Party was too cowardly to impeach President Trump.
00:21:43.420He neglected to mention the fact that they did find that he was not guilty of any charges and further, further that it was a farce and a lie.
00:21:56.040Anyway, Ryan is a despicable, deceitful, ignorant excuse for a public official, and for him to be parading around like he thinks he is some kind of all that is, to me, just disgusting.
00:22:12.940Anyway, your thoughts about this figure as Speaker, he was the reluctant Speaker, everyone remembers.
00:22:21.680He was also the so-called Wonka on the budget, and he never got a, he never stopped the spending and the deficits only ballooned under his Speakership.
00:22:37.580Well, don't forget, he was also the vice presidential candidate for Mitt Romney.
00:22:40.500Yeah, he did a great job, too, didn't he?
00:22:44.080His intention at that point in time was he wanted to run for president.
00:22:47.440He thought he was going to use the Speakership and get enough mileage out of it to go run for president, which, thank goodness, none of that happened.
00:22:55.860My frustration, again, is as a Republican, and I've been a Republican since 1972, the Nixon administration, Nixon campaign in 72 is when I switched.
00:23:08.620And I think, to a certain extent, I have suffered, I've had some great days, and I've had some bad days.
00:23:15.540But I think today we're now at a point where, by default, by the Democrats' ineptitude, we have a chance of being the lead party again in both the House and the Senate.
00:23:25.960But instead of Trump, who's the most popular Republican, and easily would be if he chose to run for election, which I assume he will at the end here, will be a very strong candidate and can win the presidency back again, certainly against Joe Biden.
00:23:38.860But I think the reality here is we kind of come together and support him.
00:23:46.300If you're going to fight him, you're going to lose the battles.
00:23:48.860And as he's proven, now, he needs to basically get through this process here in the next few weeks.
00:23:55.640He's got all kinds of legal things chasing him.
00:23:57.680And he needs to basically watch people who served him who are not serving him well now, including his son-in-law, who's going to be one of the lead witnesses against him in this coming week.
00:24:10.420So my sense is he has to say, this is what I'm going to do different.
00:24:16.400He really needs to quit arguing about the last election.
00:24:21.300What he really has to argue is, I lost a close election, and I'm going to win this next one by doing it right.
00:24:26.680And equally as important, here's my agenda, and here's what I did right compared to the guy that's in there today.
00:24:32.160And if he does that, I think that he has a tremendous opportunity to win with a second man in history to ever come back after defeat and have a second turn that's totally different than the first term, not in the sense of the agenda, but in the sense of making the country support him better.
00:24:47.720Yeah, I would only disagree with one part of what you said.
00:24:51.380I think this president and every Republican should be talking about the rigged election of 2020, Ed.
00:24:57.620We know now that his own attorney general refused to intervene knowing that Joe Biden was lying in the second and final debate of 2020, lying about the Hunter Biden laptop, lying about its contents, lying about Russian disinformation.
00:25:15.740A.G. Barr knew all of that was false and yet said the reason he didn't speak up as he heard it happen, live and in color in that second debate was because he didn't want to intervene in the election.
00:25:30.300And so by doing, he intervened on behalf of Joe Biden.
00:25:33.960And in point of fact, he changed history.
00:25:37.480There were lots of other instances in which history was changed and President Trump betrayed.
00:25:43.680But that, to me, foremost and first among them, all of the irregularities, we now know that hundreds of thousands of votes should not have been counted, absentee ballots that were not filed in time, signatures that were never matched on ballots, and they amount to literally millions of votes that were irregular and lawfully counted.
00:26:11.020So when you say we should just put that behind us, I really think the Republican Party and Ronna McDaniel, the chair of the RNC, really need to keep it first and foremost in front of them because they have a lot of work to do going into November 8th this year to make certain that this is not a rigged election, don't you think?
00:26:32.560I would always worry about rigged elections, and certainly there are a lot of improprieties that occurred last time.
00:26:41.160My point is, if you want to argue that, that the election is stolen from me, you're going to lose the ability to go out and articulate what it is that you can do in the second term.
00:26:50.760And I think that's just, as a strategist, I believe it's always about the future, not the past.
00:26:57.640You can have other people out doing surrogate work, but at the end of the day here, you know, Trump himself has to say, listen, here's what I did.
00:27:06.180You know, the issue right now is no one remembers, you and I do, and many of the people in the country that support him do.
00:27:11.620You know, here's what I did, and here's what this guy did, done do me.
00:28:02.280Talk about the things that you did if you want to be successful.
00:28:05.380And if the Trump administration is going to be the same cast of characters coming back again, even against Joe Biden, they're going to have a close election.
00:28:13.820They have an opportunity to go across this country.
00:28:15.740He won't have the same cast of characters.
00:28:17.540I guarantee you that because it's just not on the cards.
00:29:01.720I mean, the truth of the matter is what they are trying to build is, you know, it's we've seen a lot of guideposts in history, whether it's communism, whether it's Nazism.
00:29:27.340And I certainly am defensive of the way Peter was arrested.
00:29:32.420My point is that Peter talked to himself in an indictment by going on MSNBC thinking he was going to make his case.
00:29:37.500But the idea that you take a 72 year old man who lives four blocks from the FBI headquarters and go arrest him in an airport and treat him like a criminal that's a multi murderer is absurd.
00:29:52.360They did it with a guy that's not one of my favorites, but Roger Stone, when they went in and broke into his house and, you know, with an army.
00:30:00.960You know, we're talking earlier about these these prosecutors that don't prosecute the idea of the FBI watching the little girls who are all the great gymnasts basically go in and sue the federal government FBI for a billion dollars this week.
00:30:16.480Uh, because they were not treated well and they weren't treated well and the FBI basically was a co-conspirator.
00:31:18.260And we have got to, I've got to share with you something that Lee Smith, who wrote the plot to overthrow the president, as you know,
00:31:24.720a great journalist, a terrific American, uh, he, uh, and, uh, he, I'm going to just talk about what his view is rather than others.
00:31:34.700His great fear is that this is a pretext, the January 6th committee had to lead to the arrest of president Trump for obstruction of justice.
00:31:49.220Uh, and he, and he thinks, holy hell will break loose.
00:31:52.800Uh, if indeed that is what happens, I'd like to get your reaction to his fears and how, how likely you think they may be.
00:32:00.840Uh, and, uh, your, your consideration as, uh, as the, as the resident savant of the great America show.
00:32:07.960Well, my, my, my great, my great fear is, is very much on those lines.
00:32:12.660Uh, uh, I think this, this 500 days after this, I mean, I think you could have gone in and I was appalled by the behavior of January 6th, breaking into the Capitol and all the rest of it.
00:32:23.800But in about two weeks, you can take in all the films of all the people that were there because it was everywhere and arrest the rest of the guys who basically broke in, uh, and, and prosecuted me.
00:32:32.140500 days later, this committee has been working and trying to find every insignificant item you could, uh, and harass a lot of people and make a lot of people criminals and aren't criminals.
00:32:41.880Uh, but at the end of the day here, I think there is an agenda.
00:32:44.900And I think the agenda is they, they don't want to have a electoral college.
00:32:48.100They want to redo, redo that, uh, undo that, make everything democratically elected, uh, uh, in their mind, uh, which is a popular vote, which with states like New York and, and, and, and California, which gives an eight or 10 vote million.
00:33:02.140And that's not the way our system was set up.
00:33:05.120We're an electoral set up by our constitution has been implemented for hundreds of years by, by, uh, by the constitution guiding it.
00:33:14.200And I, I just worry that, that their agenda, they have an agenda, they have a plan.
00:33:19.220And I'm just arguing we need to have a defense and the defense at this point in time is, uh, is to go out and, and some, and we're not going to have the help of the media.
00:33:28.440Uh, uh, the idea that you're going to put this on six network shows, uh, with a TV producer, uh, uh, starting this Thursday night with the sole purpose.
00:33:38.960And whose claim to fame is that he, while the head of ABC news suppressed the Jeffrey Epstein story and, and covered it up.
00:33:49.880Well, I can go on all day about, about television today and what it's become.
00:33:54.220And, and, and especially talking about him, I'm talking about him.
00:33:57.600This is the kind of low life that he is in the business.
00:34:00.460And that's who they put in this place.
00:34:02.300There's going to be more discussion about him than there's going to be about whatever witnesses in front of the committee.
00:34:08.500Well, if it's, even under the best of pretense, if it was a public hearing, you don't need to bring in TV producers to produce it.
00:34:15.160Uh, uh, you basically put people up in front of the Congress, uh, and you testify.
00:34:20.040Uh, but this is a show, uh, and they, and they want it to be a big rating show.
00:34:23.640They see it as part of the political process, the turnaround, the Democrats, uh, failing practices today and give them a leg up to basically help them in the election.
00:34:32.060And it's not going to, but my, my sense is, I think, I think the country is going to be too bored with it after the first show.
00:34:38.640And I think to a certain extent, they don't understand the changes in the American electorate, the way it, uh, it looks at things.
00:34:44.120And I think to a certain extent, uh, uh, you, you're going to, you're going to see, you're going to see some people who should not be testifying, testifying.
00:34:52.120Uh, you know, and, and I, and in fairness, uh, uh, some of these people like Peter and others, uh, you know, who, who are good, good citizens, uh,
00:35:01.700who came to serve the president, it was a naivete about the ways of worship.
00:35:06.860Uh, and, and, and, and so my whole point of him going on and talking about this green bag and all the rest of it, he was the trade advisor.
00:35:14.920He should have been talking about trade.
00:36:08.720Many of, by the way, of those so-called rioters were invited into the buildings.
00:36:13.620Uh, and there are 14,000 hours of video that won't be released by, uh, by Nancy Pelosi because they know very well it would embarrass them and destroy their entire case.
00:36:32.600And for us to even have a serious discussion about, uh, you know, what, what, uh, what poor Peter Navarro got into, you know, whether he had, uh, whether he piqued the interest of the committee or not.
00:36:47.180He is a private citizen who was treated like a criminal, and that is disgusting, and it is, it should scare the hell out of every American that an FBI agent of any kind would have behaved like that, because that means that the corruption is pervasive through the FBI.
00:37:14.840Uh, you know, I've been investigated by the FBI.
00:37:19.160I was never charged with a crime, but I was investigated by the FBI.
00:37:22.060They sent two agents in to talk to you, and they sit down, uh, uh, and they, they write prolific notes, uh, and then they drag you through about five more processes, and anywhere along the line, if they say, you said the and you meant uh, uh, they can nail you for lying, and they tell you that right up front.
00:37:39.260So, my advice to anybody, anytime anybody with the FBI knocks on their door, say, give me my lawyer.
00:37:44.920Uh, don't, uh, don't talk to any FBI agent ever without a lawyer.
00:37:49.200Uh, and if you don't have that, uh, you can pay a price.
00:37:52.460Most citizens see the FBI as still a good part of the government, and they want to, they think I didn't do anything wrong, so therefore I'll, I'll basically cooperate with them.
00:38:00.840Uh, which is what they tell you, we're not here to prosecute, we're here just to get some information.
00:38:05.860Well, the first thing they can get you on is lying to an FBI agent, and that means what you said today and what you say six months from now, it better be exactly the same.
00:38:14.660And when I give advice to clients, I say, let's write the story down, what exactly you did or didn't do, uh, and you memorize that script and you stick with that script all the way, you never move off of it.
00:38:24.520Uh, so make sure it's right and correct, uh, and I do, I've done a lot of legal work with, with people who have the two FBI agents knock on the door, scares you to death, uh, let alone what Navarro went through, uh, uh, and, and the idea of, again, all you have to say, go ahead, I'm sorry, go ahead.
00:38:42.860All you have to say is, you know, show, show up, have your lawyer, we'll serve your lawyer, we'll serve you, uh, you know, it's just a question of passing the paper, you don't need to arrest the guy.
00:38:53.480Well, let's, let's, let's hope nobody has, has to deal with the FBI, uh, or be investigated by the FBI, but let's remember who was, and that was general Michael Flynn and general Michael Flynn was framed by the FBI and everything about him was a lie, but the lies were told by the FBI and the department of justice.
00:39:16.920He was speaking the truth and he was serving the nation.
00:39:21.140And right now to watch this FBI act as though they were not a criminal body is appalling because they are, they have done more to hurt this country.
00:39:34.420Uh, they have a national security division and I wonder, I wonder what they think of all that has transpired, the alliances they've made with the radical Marxists of the democratic party, uh, and their, the choices they've made.
00:39:50.820Uh, I wonder how many FBI agents are actually sick to their stomach at what that agency has become and what they have done to the nation because the damage is devastating and it is all but complete.
00:40:06.420Uh, and we have to decide what we're going to do about an FBI agency and a department of justice, uh, that, uh, has, has declared war on the American people.
00:40:28.980And what you're talking about, Ed is the overthrow of the Republic by the, by the Marxist Dems, the overthrow of the Republic, these FBI agents and this justice department should be investigating the democratic party and it's Marxist ties, uh, throughout.
00:40:46.360That's what they should be investigating instead of aiding and abetting the criminal leftists in this nation.
00:40:54.600The American people have got to be sick to their stomach to see what Biden has delivered inflation, the turmoil in the markets, devastated economy, uh, trying to get us into a war in Europe, uh, kowtowing to Xi Jinping and, and Iran.
00:41:15.820Uh, these are, this is a moment that takes a consider considerable amount of intestinal fortitude and faith, uh, because we have much to work through, uh, as always, Ed, you get the last word.
00:41:32.500We appreciate you being with us and your concluding thoughts.
00:41:37.220My concluding thoughts are, uh, I think people should watch these shows on, on a Thursday night, uh, just so you know what they're saying.
00:41:45.820And doing, uh, you know, many of our supporters won't bother and say it's all propaganda.
00:41:50.680It's important to know what the propaganda is.
00:41:52.540Uh, uh, you have to, you have to know what you're up against.
00:41:55.120Uh, I, for years have watched MSNBC and CNN, in addition to being on Fox, uh, uh, Fox is where I go for the truth.
00:42:02.880Uh, the other, the networks where I go to watch the other side, uh, pontificate, uh, and it's always important to know that.
00:42:09.780So I would, I would argue if you're interested in America, you go watch this show and make sure you stop it, make sure you don't allow it to happen again.
