Biden is a mad man, and his entire White House is mad too. He's sending troops to Ukraine, he's sending more of our troops to Europe, and he's inviting millions of illegal immigrants to invade our southern border.

Hello everybody and welcome to the Great America Show. I'm Lou Dobbs. Great to have you with us
00:00:05.320
today. We begin this week, I'm sorry to say, with the prospect of global destruction.
00:00:11.280
Vladimir Putin is threatening the world with nuclear weapons and of course we all wish Putin
00:00:16.720
wouldn't do that. Global destruction seems to almost everyone to be a little overdone,
00:00:22.400
well beyond inconsiderate. And obviously oblivion is hardly a commensurate response to Ukraine's
00:00:30.160
magnificent defense of their country for seven months against the Russian invaders. This week
00:00:37.000
we entered the eighth month of Russia's war on Ukraine and the Russian people seem to be growing
00:00:43.080
impatient with Putin and his losing war. Americans are certainly getting tired of Joe Biden's economy
00:00:50.820
already in recession. The Fed is fighting a losing war against inflation driven in large measure by
00:00:57.600
Biden's massive spending programs. And the Fed's interest rate hikes will only punish working men
00:01:03.940
and women, small business owners and our middle class families through higher prices for food,
00:01:09.820
transportation, housing, rents, just about everything. And oh yes, the Biden stock market.
00:01:16.140
The stock market, believe it or not, is already having the worst year in history. And we have a
00:01:23.000
few months to go. Biden is obviously trying to destroy the country. Have no doubt. He sells strategic
00:01:30.260
petroleum reserve oil to the Chinese. Millions of barrels. Why? He's sending more of our troops to
00:01:36.640
Europe. Why? Inviting millions of illegal immigrants to invade our southern border. Again, why? And can't put
00:01:44.220
together coherent sentences often enough to be comprehended? Biden is outright scary. He's creepy and
00:01:51.920
he's getting worse. And the mockingbird media pretends he's just fine. No dementia, no impairment,
00:01:58.960
not twisted. Do you wonder if the American people will ever get fed up with all the madness Biden has
00:02:06.900
unleashed in this country? What will it take? Most Americans say the 2020 election was rigged,
00:02:13.860
but whatever happened was so massive that without major breakthroughs and a full-scale investigation,
00:02:19.720
it will be a while before we know the truth, I'm afraid. To me, it appears the 2020 election was a
00:02:26.100
straight-out successful takeover of our government by the Marxist Dems, who run the Democrat Party and,
00:02:32.700
of course, are in league with the deep state. They now have control of the White House, the Congress,
00:02:38.900
the Senate. And when we look back on the efforts to get hearings in courts, the judiciary, all the way
00:02:44.520
up to the Supreme Court, is predominantly leftist. Whether their rulings, the cases they decline,
00:02:51.180
the cases they accept, or the fact that President Trump can't hire a major law firm because those law
00:02:57.700
firms would lose big corporate clients, government clients, and that leaves a former president without
00:03:03.920
first-class representation. The Marxist Dems corruption of the legal system is now almost
00:03:10.700
complete. But there are still faint signs of life in the judiciary, even in Pennsylvania,
00:03:16.460
where Fulton County has sued Dominion voting systems for alleged severe anomalies in the 2020 election.
00:03:23.560
Dominion denies any suggestion of failure or fraud. And last week, on Bannon's War Room,
00:03:30.260
Jeffrey Clark reported that the Center for Renewing America had sent out FOIA requests to 12 U.S.
00:03:36.840
attorneys on DOJ investigations into battleground state elections. Eleven came back with no documents,
00:03:44.620
no investigations, contradicting former Attorney General Bill Barr's statement a month after the
00:03:51.360
election, that the DOJ had no evidence of corruption, because, apparently, they didn't investigate.
00:03:58.340
I would point out that I've said all along that Barr was lying because there were no reports from DOJ,
00:04:04.620
no conclusions offered to the public, really no time in which to have carried out a meaningful
00:04:09.900
investigation when he made that big but empty announcement. He was doing the establishment's bidding,
00:04:16.600
trying to calm troubled waters, troubled because many Americans, if not most, thought that the
00:04:22.980
election of 2020 had been rigged. And in the end, Barr just made it all worse. No secret, Biden is
00:04:30.520
bonkers, his White House wacko, and his entire administration is simply mad. His administration
00:04:36.300
is around the bend, and there's no help in sight until November 8, and a big GOP win will still take
00:04:44.080
two months to take effect, with committees to investigate, appropriations to roll back, a lot to do.
00:04:51.200
Well, joining us to take up all of this is Steve Bannon, host of Steve Bannon's War Room,
00:04:56.280
10 a.m. to 12 every day. Steve Bannon, great to have you back with us here on The Great America Show.
00:05:02.340
Thanks for joining us. We're watching a government that is rolling out new Marxist programs every day.
00:05:09.000
Let's start with your reactions to just these atmospherics, if you will.
00:05:13.060
Well, it's the dying gasp of a regime in collapse, which you're right. On the way down,
00:05:19.480
they're doing, I mean, from the trillion dollar transfer of debt from the woke, you know,
00:05:24.480
graduate students to deadbeats to working class people to increasing the invasion of the southern
00:05:30.280
border to more involvement in the Ukraine, more escalation in the Ukraine situation to, you know,
00:05:36.660
right now trying to spend a couple of trillion dollars in discretionary spending with a new CR that
00:05:42.340
we've got to print money for. So they're going to turn upside down everything Powell's doing. It's a
00:05:47.080
calamity, a calamity. It's a look. Elections have consequences. Stolen elections have catastrophic
00:05:53.500
consequences. We're seeing the catastrophic consequences of Alou. And what we got to do is
00:05:57.960
stop it. One way to stop it is beat it. And we got to beat it. So to me, it's pretty straightforward.
00:06:03.420
And if you think they're crazy now, as we had the great Russ vote, you know, the former OMB head
00:06:09.880
under Trump, if people think they've seen crazy right now, wait till we beat them on November 8th,
00:06:17.440
and you're going to see a lame duck that is going to set new records for insanity. So people should
00:06:22.400
understand, we've got the fight of our life ahead of us to go through all the stuff they're going to
00:06:27.040
try to do to steal this thing, to win on November 8th in overwhelming numbers, then to basically do
00:06:33.300
a lockdown so they can't, you know, do all sorts of crazy in the lame duck, and then get enough
00:06:40.060
people with spying that we take over. People who put their trust in us know that we're going to
00:06:46.240
govern and going to govern toughly. So people should understand between now and Christmas is going to
00:06:51.540
be some of the most intense political combat in modern American history.
00:06:57.880
Yeah, I believe that combat is fully underway. When you have a president who is carrying out all of
00:07:07.460
these initiatives, including the wide open border, and sitting in front of cameras saying, you know,
00:07:14.220
this is a different situation. He talks nonsense. He doesn't know where he is. He trundles off.
00:07:20.480
God knows where after an interview. He's lost. And no one says a word. That's one of the things that
00:07:29.280
fascinates me right now in this, is that the corporatist media in this country is fully in league
00:07:39.240
with the idea that an impaired, compromised puppet president is perfectly acceptable. And they even know
00:07:48.920
within the White House press corps that Biden says that we're not going to invade Taiwan. The pandemic
00:07:54.760
is over. They instinctively, reflexively comprehend that some junior White House staffer can come out
00:08:02.200
and say, no, that isn't true. And they listen to the junior staffer at the White House rather than the
00:08:09.040
president of the United States. What do you think?
00:08:11.260
I mean, look, the coverage is, and you notice, Lou, they don't really have what I call even the
00:08:19.280
starters covering the White House anymore. There's no real big names as the White House
00:08:22.800
correspondents anymore. They really basically have second and third tier people because they
00:08:27.600
understand, they even understand what's coming out of the White House is all gobbledygook, right?
00:08:32.320
And it's, and Biden is spinning. But I want to be very specific with something that's disturbing
00:08:36.840
this happened. When you talk about corporatist media, your former, in fact, I would say you're
00:08:41.840
one of the guys that made CNN a brand during those years when it actually, actually presented news
00:08:48.280
and not opinion 24 hours a day. They just announced Jake Kapper has taken, they're putting Jake Kapper
00:08:54.020
in a new nine o'clock show just between now and election day for news coverage. You know, he's
00:08:59.300
going to be the anchor. I think moving Anderson Cooper to another time slide. I think that Don
00:09:02.960
Lemon's, that Don Lemon go to the morning. But Jake Kapper just said in an interview with Mediaite
00:09:08.800
72 hours ago that MAGA and everybody that questions the 2020 election is a cancer inside
00:09:17.460
the Republican Party that has to be cut out. Now, and he's also intruded in the Pennsylvania's
00:09:22.600
governor's race where he defended Josh Shapiro, sending his kids to an elite Jewish school or Hebrew
00:09:28.560
school. He comes in and basically defends him and says, oh, the school's not that elitist
00:09:33.080
when Master John's saying, hey, there's kids in Philadelphia getting shot in public schools.
00:09:37.500
Josh Shapiro, the attorney general, doesn't care because he's a racist. And he sends his
00:09:41.080
kids to an elite school. This is my point. They are so actively, it's not some on the scale.
00:09:46.020
I mean, they're an active participant. That's why I call them the opposition party. But the
00:09:49.220
thing at CNN, who's supposed to be Dr. Malone, John Malone, supposed to be cleaning
00:09:53.560
it up? Well, Jake Kapper now, who thinks, and think about it, who could say that thinks
00:09:59.600
MAGA with all the patriots and the deplorables, with all the patriots and veterans, everything
00:10:04.560
we've done for the country, it's a cancer inside the Republican Party has to be cut out.
00:10:09.120
Lou, that's where we are today with the corporatist media.
00:10:13.140
Right. And CNN, by the way, is, you know, they're just pulling everybody's leg.
00:10:17.000
Like, they're jerking everybody around. Because when Lick says, is that the way you say his
00:10:25.180
I think it's Chris Lick. I think that's, at least that's what people have told me it's
00:10:31.900
Anyway, the guy says that we're going to move this thing to the center. It's going to be an
00:10:35.860
independent objective news gathering. It's going to be CNN, 19.
00:10:40.080
Lou, you're not buying that? Are you that cynical?
00:10:46.620
Not where they put Jake Tamper at 9 o'clock. He's gone through every left-wing
00:10:52.540
indoctrination course there is. He's ready, he's armed, and he's on fire. This is
00:10:59.860
ridiculous. They moved Don Lemon to the mornings. I mean, somebody has to suffer,
00:11:04.760
in the opinion of CNN. And therefore, if they've done enough harm to the primetime,
00:11:09.720
they're going to just go out and punish those morning viewers as best they can.
00:11:14.780
Oh, my Lord. It's incredible. But going from the corporate media to what they're
00:11:22.540
trying, they say, to cover, we're looking at an election that those media-based
00:11:29.200
polls, for some reason, see huge numbers for Joe Biden. They even have his approval
00:11:35.680
rating higher. But the respected polls, those that are the most accurate over the
00:11:40.780
last three, four cycles of elections, this is, this thing looks like this wave is still
00:11:48.380
in place, despite the bombardment from the left and from every corner.
00:11:55.080
Lou, as usual, you brought up the key point and a brilliant point. And I want to, we're
00:11:59.920
going to talk about this on our show today and tomorrow. The, what happened with the
00:12:06.640
media hyping his, you know, spending bills, which are just, you know, paying off donors
00:12:10.980
because they know they're going to get kicked out. So Manchin comes out with his spending
00:12:14.840
bill. All this thing, the media hyping it and they hyping, you know, the Roe v. Wade and
00:12:20.960
all these things. You're the woman. They're all going to turn out. All that hype. In August,
00:12:25.560
they had a slight surge, but they didn't put us away. In fact, it was only a glancing
00:12:30.180
blow. And the key drivers, remember every election is about what I call an issue set
00:12:35.080
and then the electorate you can bring around that issue set. And right now, NBC is reporting
00:12:40.440
that, the NBC News, by the way, that the Republicans are plus 36% on border security, I think plus
00:12:48.040
23% on crime, plus 19% on immigration, plus 19% on the economy, plus 14% on handling inflation
00:12:56.540
and cost of living. And wait for it, plus 6% on bringing the country together in unity.
00:13:02.140
The issue set that's driving people now, the economy, inflation, jobs, because the layoffs
00:13:07.560
are starting, obviously energy costs, you know, crime, which is out of control, border security,
00:13:13.840
since the Santa's did the Breein, Stroke and Martha's Vineyard, immigration. Those are all
00:13:18.440
our issues. And we don't, we're not winning by a couple of points. We're winning by historic
00:13:21.960
margins. This is why you're seeing right now, these House races, at least 20, I think it
00:13:27.660
could be 40, maybe 50 or more if people do their work and things break their way. You
00:13:32.640
know, pick up, hold the seats in the Senate that we got to hold, pick up three or four,
00:13:37.040
win a bunch of big governorships. And from the school board level to state, I think we could
00:13:41.380
flip Minnesota. There's a couple state legislatures we could flip. So right now, Lou, if we do
00:13:47.060
our job, we got the wind to the back on all the issues set. We got the electorate. We just
00:13:53.260
got to get people out to vote. Lou, this could be pretty historic if we get our job done right
00:13:58.420
now. I think we could still have a shot to destroy the Democratic Party as a national political
00:14:03.420
institution. Now, let me caveat that with, you know, he says the other day, as you mentioned
00:14:07.920
so brilliantly, he says the pandemic's over in 60 minutes. He's got a junior staffer that
00:14:12.320
reverses that the next day. But we still have the emergency order out there. You know, so
00:14:16.660
who knows what they're going to try to pull? They're not going to give up this power they
00:14:21.800
have of both houses of Congress and the presidency lightly. So people should stand by and get ready
00:14:27.660
to hunker down. Well, the Susan Rice campaign truth squad is in full motion now, turning the
00:14:37.980
federal government workforce in to get out the vote drivers for all of the Democrats wherever
00:14:46.280
they can find them or anyone they can at least establish as Democrats. We're watching a government
00:14:55.740
that still will not reveal to the Congress of the United States what all the initiatives are that
00:15:02.280
she has put together, along, of course, with her good friend, Barack Obama and others. It's
00:15:09.740
it's crazy what we're watching. There's one there's on the surface. There is Jean Pierre,
00:15:17.580
Jean Pierre is the press secretary. But behind her, there is nothing but darkness. There is no
00:15:25.180
there is no one who can see into transparently into that White House. And it's crazy. What do you
00:15:32.820
think we're going to see unveiled? Do you have any? But I tell you one thing you bring up, which I'm
00:15:39.220
not sure many American people are familiar. He signed in the executive order a while ago that
00:15:44.680
basically essentially weaponized the first time ever. And of course, they're using the thing. This is
00:15:49.360
the pandemic emergency measures. They're using the pandemic that every I think it's 600 government
00:15:55.720
agencies, institutions, affiliations are supposed to be active in voter registration and getting out
00:16:01.800
the vote. This is the administrative state's own thing. People don't know. I think the details
00:16:06.600
this executive order, I bring this point up to show that the levels they will go to to make sure
00:16:12.940
they cling to power. Some people just get it. Look, the way to combat it is that I think the model
00:16:17.380
we use down in the Commonwealth of Virginia for Youngkin, we had between MAGA and of course,
00:16:22.300
the mothers in the districts, we had 95 percent participation in election poll of workers,
00:16:30.580
not watchers, but poll workers and election officials and judges that got inside the room 95 percent
00:16:35.780
in the presidential election of 2020. We had 26 percent in the last gubernatorial four years ago,
00:16:42.260
we had 25 percent. MAGA basically came out and did that, and we made sure we had a, you know,
00:16:47.480
we had a free and fair election. The New York Times has got a 30-minute video up on their
00:16:51.220
homepage today that goes through the war room and everything we've done in the precinct strategy
00:16:55.560
to get people ready because they're in meltdown. They go, these people are training people
00:16:59.460
of how to be poll workers and get into, is question ballots. Hell yes, we are. We're going to do
00:17:04.660
a lot more training sessions between non-election days. So they want democracy, Lou. All they do is
00:17:10.840
jammer about democracy. They're rubbing up on democracy. They're loving some democracy.
00:17:14.900
We're going to give them a full democracy suppository on November 8th. And so it's all
00:17:19.640
people got to understand. Biden's guys will pull every trick in the book. They signed executive
00:17:23.780
orders to empower themselves. They still have emergency powers that they've said the pandemic's
00:17:28.900
over. Everybody said it's the most epidemic now, maybe not even that. They've kept the emergency
00:17:33.580
powers. And hey, you talk about Republican leadership. I don't see any Republicans. I see Lou Dobbs
00:17:38.960
talking about it. I see the war room talking about it. A couple of other guys. But hey,
00:17:43.340
I don't hear it on Fox. And I'm not seeing it from Republican leadership saying, hey, we've
00:17:49.180
Well, you know, something happened dramatically because Mike Lindell is telling me I didn't
00:17:55.320
see it. I didn't witness it. But Tucker Carlson put him on his show to talk about Dominion.
00:18:03.820
Can you believe that? Boating machines and what was happening to Mike Lindell after he's
00:18:10.040
arrested while he's out hunting teal. I love the fact that Mike thought he had to explain
00:18:16.880
to me what a teal is. I'm a hunter myself. But anyway, and he and his buddy are in the drive
00:18:24.940
through at Hardy's. And the next thing, three cars of FBI agents show up, block him off and
00:18:32.300
demand his phone. I mean, we're this is we're at a we're at a place where it's crazy.
00:18:40.300
Everything is emerging. Now, whether it's merging and we're going to be able to from that
00:18:46.560
create a concrete and substantive understanding of what these machines are doing, I don't know.
00:18:52.280
But it's starting to look like that. Fulton County filing a lawsuit against Dominion
00:18:57.320
for various things, including connectivity, failure of some machines. We're seeing some
00:19:06.520
Definitely. I think that's through the hard work of people that worked for two years. Look,
00:19:11.380
we're not going to solve the machine problem between now and election day. We just have to
00:19:14.500
understand we're going to have to outvote the money. We're going to have to outvote the corruption.
00:19:18.340
We're going to have to outvote the machines. I would love to be able to put it out of the way.
00:19:21.460
I do think having people volunteer to be judges, election officials and poll workers
00:19:25.780
inside the room will will will will lessen and dampen down any potential stealing they've
00:19:32.300
got. That's what we got to do. But, Lou, I think with the new Congress, we have a real
00:19:36.340
January 6th committee that gets into Ashley Babbitt, gets into the Intel Pelosi head, gets
00:19:41.940
into all of it, FBI involvement, the whole nine yards, exactly what happened. Right. Who got killed?
00:19:47.160
Who was let in? All of it. And have let them have a ranking member and a minority council
00:19:52.720
have all of it, including Lou. I think we must adjudicate three November. We must adjudicate
00:19:59.220
those battleground states like we wanted to on 6th January. We've got to get into the details.
00:20:04.080
I think it's the only way that we really get really get our hands around this. The machines,
00:20:08.680
like I said, I'm not a machine guy. I know they stole it with mail in ballots, particularly with the
00:20:13.800
phony signatures. But I do know and I'm strongly a strong proponent. We got to go to the French
00:20:19.860
system. My God, if the French can do it in a basic precinct by precinct, have, you know,
00:20:25.660
one day voting, all paper ballots. The French are by eight o'clock setting up to Central Command
00:20:31.540
and by 10 o'clock they're announcing the winner. We got to get to that system. The United States
00:20:35.720
has got to get there. And, Lou, I hope that this is a springboard for us to do it.
00:20:39.840
Well, I have to say that Mexico does a great job too. And right down the border way is Mexico
00:20:50.240
and they're carrying off elections with integrity. And I just think it's amazing that here we are,
00:20:58.620
supposedly the most advanced nation on earth, and we have a screw up and a corrupt government that
00:21:04.040
won't reach into the innards of our electoral system. They won't, they won't, they won't fix it.
00:21:09.220
We're, we're going to have to, Lou, the reason it's screwed up is they want to be screwed up.
00:21:14.020
Let me repeat this. And I mean this to the, to the, to the mare of my bones. Democrats cannot win
00:21:20.440
if they don't steal and cheat. It's obvious, right? Now with the big cities and everything that's
00:21:25.700
going on, we know that. It's incumbent upon us now to thwart that, to make sure that we get the
00:21:30.120
House, the Senate, the governorships. It's going to take a lot of work and it's going to be a lot
00:21:33.840
of fights, a lot of contention. We got to do it. And then when we're in power, we need to use power
00:21:38.960
and we need, first thing we need to do is get these elections squared away. And we didn't need
00:21:43.260
to do that, I think, by stripping out the machines and going to paper ballots. I'm a one day vote on
00:21:48.000
game day, but if you still have to have early voting, it's got to be very tightly monitored. It's
00:21:52.020
got to be paper ballots and the paper ballots got to be counted. And by the way, have Democrats
00:21:55.960
said it should be a civic, like it is in France. All the parties participate. It's not one party
00:22:00.300
that counts the votes. And so let's do it that way. And I know that in a free, fair, transparent
00:22:07.900
I think so, too. And by the way, Delaware, a judge has just dismissed. There will be no
00:22:16.500
mail-in ballots for this upcoming election. You know, I keep hearing these jurisdictions and
00:22:23.800
secretaries of state saying, well, we've got it fixed, but we can't have it ready by
00:22:27.020
November 8th. Delaware, of all states, outlawing mail-in balloting, and they said, including
00:22:35.440
this time around. No bull about it. I mean, I think that's a heck of a development, don't
00:22:40.800
Well, it's, by the way, Lou, in most states, I mean, in Pennsylvania, it's still against
00:22:44.680
the Constitution. The appellate court, you know, the Court of Appeals, what they call the
00:22:49.120
Commonwealth Court, ruled that six months ago, that it's still a festering sword. The
00:22:55.160
government, it's black letter law, not constitutional. And they didn't change the Constitution. Only
00:23:01.680
the Constitution can change it. So they're still having a dogfight there over 2020. I
00:23:06.140
think we're going to get to the bottom of it. They're still going to have huge mail-in
00:23:08.980
ballots this time. If you look at most of these states, most of these states don't allow
00:23:13.560
mail-in ballots because of the Constitution. I think it's a Delaware situation. So we have to
00:23:18.080
enforce that. I think that having these machines, and I've never figured, I've now had people
00:23:22.780
look at the technology machines, Lou, and they say, why is it any more complicated than
00:23:27.460
just a money counter in Vegas, which, as you know, is what the Vegas guys do to make sure
00:23:33.400
These machines are incredibly complicated, and they're programmable. It's like, why do
00:23:37.300
you need to do that? This should be fairly simple. Even if you use a machine, it should
00:23:42.000
be fairly straightforward. It just turns out it's not. So look, the reason elections are screwed
00:23:46.780
up on their administration is because Democrats want that. They know they need that kind of
00:23:51.280
chaos for them to steal, and that's what we have to sort out after we win.
00:23:56.480
Well, I think we're getting very close to sorting it out because we're starting to see some
00:24:03.260
sunlight penetrate those black boxes. Most people don't realize there are three companies,
00:24:11.040
and they're all private companies. Steve, don't you find this interesting? Three companies are the
00:24:17.300
principal electronic voting companies in this country. They handle, they process 92% of the vote
00:24:24.460
in this country. They are Hart, they are ES&S, and they are Dominion. Those three companies.
00:24:31.460
And do you know there's no oversight? They claim that there's oversight, but the CIFA and all of these
00:24:37.480
other agencies are nothing more than functionaries. It's an absurdity that we don't know what's going
00:24:44.560
on in those boxes. What do you think? I wonder what the reason is that those companies are all
00:24:51.060
private companies, Steve. Can you imagine that reason? I think they're private because I don't
00:24:55.060
think it's that big a business. I don't think there's a demand to take them public. Remember,
00:25:00.440
in public, you have to have, first off, you can't be swapping lawsuits all the time or controversy.
00:25:06.020
As you know, he's covering markets for many years. The other is you've got to be able to show
00:25:10.520
companies that small had to be showing rapid growth out of something. I've always thought it
00:25:15.660
is odd, and particularly who the investors are in this company. It's just not a great even private
00:25:20.320
equity investment. These are companies that least looks on the outside. We haven't seen the internal
00:25:24.440
numbers. You just don't figure out where's the squeeze in the lemon, right? So it's always shocked
00:25:31.920
me as a former investment banker. And look, I don't know because, like I said, I'm not a machine
00:25:37.340
guy. They say it's in Venezuela. I don't know because I don't know the companies that well.
00:25:43.300
But I always felt it was odd. You couldn't get them public because they're just not big
00:25:46.920
enough. And the investment story is not interesting enough given it looks like just the lack of
00:25:52.260
growth. And also the controversies county by county. So it doesn't look like it's been a
00:25:57.460
great investment. It always looks kind of screwy to me. My point is that not picking on them
00:26:03.940
individually, I just think we need to go to a system like France has, which seems to have a
00:26:09.380
limited amount of controversy. That's what we need to go to. The reason people don't do it
00:26:13.320
is pretty obvious to me. Democrats like the chaos. They like this. They thrive, particularly in big
00:26:18.640
cities. You look at Trump's, you look at the steal in 2020, it's pretty obvious it came out of
00:26:24.940
Philadelphia, in Atlanta, in Detroit, in Milwaukee, in Phoenix, right? In Las Vegas. The Democrats
00:26:32.960
control these big cities, except for Phoenix, which is obviously controlled by the Maricopa
00:26:39.080
County Board of Superiors Republican, which is established from the Canaan Republican, but
00:26:46.300
And chaos they can create. I want to ask you just a couple of quick questions here on some
00:26:52.940
of the cultural issues that I think are kind of fascinating. Word today that the Air Force
00:26:58.040
has gender-inclusive training. Now, I knew the Navy had gone this way. I didn't realize
00:27:03.000
the Air Force. But even to this point, the Air Force, their gender-inclusive training, ordering
00:27:10.120
cadets not to use the words mom and dad, and only gender-neutral pronouns. Where are we now,
00:27:20.460
Steve? Where are we when our military is playing these kinds of games?
00:27:24.960
Look, my daughter went to West Point. I think West Point may be as bad, Lou, and I'm a former
00:27:30.360
naval officer in the academies. Look, this is why November 8th. So this is absurd. It's obscene,
00:27:37.420
and particularly talking about the threat we have right now of a blockade, either air or naval
00:27:41.480
blockade around Taiwan or having to fight the South China Sea in a kinetic war. It's an obscenity what
00:27:47.440
they're doing to the service academies. And this is one of the reasons that they're recruiting in the
00:27:51.500
Army so bad. It's not that kids are obese or play video games. That's a part of it. But we've dealt
00:27:56.080
with that for the last, what, 20 or 30 years. It's because parents don't want to send their kids
00:28:00.920
into this thing that's a woke military with, like, General Milley and these guys that say
00:28:04.480
the biggest threat in the country is, you know, white Christian domestic terrorists. So people
00:28:09.320
just don't want it. But it is, that story is so shocking. But I think you're going to find out
00:28:14.180
the other service academies are just as bad. We just have to clean it out. We've got to win
00:28:18.460
to take this on. But it's a disgrace what is happening at the Air Force Academy at West Point
00:28:24.040
and the Naval Academy. And apparently not a single Air Force general said, you know,
00:28:29.700
this is a really bad idea. And I'm going to fight you tooth and nail because it's just wrong.
00:28:35.300
And it's Marxist. It's anti-family. It is anti-America. But we don't seem to have that kind
00:28:41.880
of officer, general staff officer anymore, do we? That in and of itself is a huge problem.
00:28:47.520
But you mentioned recruiting. We're looking at the Army is down. It's going to be over 40.
00:28:53.540
It's going to miss its recruiting goals by about 40 percent. There's a reason for it. But the spin
00:28:59.180
that the Pentagon puts on this one is the reason they're not able to bring in some of these people
00:29:05.480
is because women are worried about being on a base in a state that has banned abortion.
00:29:12.640
Can you believe that? Working in the ideological fervor of the left. This is insane that it's
00:29:22.480
penetrated every corner and crevice of the Pentagon.
00:29:26.480
No, and it's obvious. The reason they can't recruit people, and you're right,
00:29:31.260
the Army is 40 percent of their goal, which means you can't staff up infantry units, is because simply
00:29:37.940
for the fact, particularly in the South, which is still the bulk of individuals and combat units,
00:29:44.640
the parents are just not going to send them when at the service academies you can't say parent,
00:29:49.580
mom, and dad. You've got to say some other pronoun. It's not going to happen.
00:29:52.840
But they're not going to put their kids in harm's way under the leadership you're seeing
00:29:56.720
from the Biden regime. It's not going to happen. And of course, they're not blaming it on everything.
00:30:01.380
They're going to blame it on, yes, you're going to blame it on abortion or it's climate change,
00:30:04.860
whatever their ideology is, they're going to blame it. It's complete nonsense.
00:30:09.780
And it will get cleaned up. We'll get to those goals as soon as we take charge here in 2022.
00:30:14.540
And quite frankly, return Trump to the White House in 2024.
00:30:17.240
Wouldn't it be something to see this, see the president get back in charge?
00:30:26.400
It's just, can you imagine being a European right now saying, oh, good, we're members of the free world,
00:30:32.960
whatever the country is, and we've got and we can follow Joe Biden right, right into Moscow if we have to.
00:30:41.300
We're in a nuclear war. You know, Slim Pickens and Dr. Strangelove famously saying toe to toe
00:30:47.860
in nuclear combat with the Ruskies. I mean, we've got people crazed out of their mind
00:30:53.920
talking about war. And by the way, I'm talking about the president of the United States,
00:30:59.220
one Joe Biden standing before the United Nations talking like he was the biggest hawk in history.
00:31:08.800
Well, I want to break the news here that my number one draft paper secretary of state
00:31:13.400
when Trump returns to the White House is one Lou Dobbs.
00:31:16.380
But I think what I'm serious, I think what some foreign governments need is some Lou Dobbs
00:31:22.200
in their grill every day, right? With talking to President Trump, getting the update,
00:31:27.700
and then Lou Dobbs going about banging some heads.
00:31:30.200
The CCP would not be disrespecting Lou Dobbs as they do Tony Blinken.
00:31:34.900
The Russians would not be in Ukraine and Eastern Russia speaking Ukraine if Lou Dobbs is on point.
00:31:40.140
So no, I can't wait till Trump returns. And Lou, quite frankly,
00:31:43.840
I think I'm going to reach out and get television rights to your confirmation hearing.
00:31:49.180
Well, I don't think you even need those rights, but you're going to have a hard time fighting me for that job.
00:31:57.860
Hold it, hold it. Stop. I know who makes decisions in the Dobbs household.
00:32:05.940
You're right about that. I'm going to cut some phone lines, too.
00:32:09.200
I just, you know, as I once told you in all seriousness years ago,
00:32:13.400
I wouldn't make a good politician and I'd probably make a worse bureaucrat.
00:32:17.460
So I think I'll just stick with where life has landed me.
00:32:21.460
Lou, I think you're I think you're a pretty good leader in that.
00:32:23.800
So that's what we need. I think we need leaders right now.
00:32:26.140
So you're not a politician. That's no doubt you're not a politician.
00:32:29.500
But you know what? You know, it's Donald Trump. And that's why he's a great.
00:32:32.180
Why did you chuckle when you said I'm not a politician? Come on.
00:32:37.680
Well, you know, the problem is if you're a state department, you know, people should.
00:32:42.780
Hold on. People should know. Years ago, I tried to talk to Lou Dobbs in the room as a president.
00:32:47.840
So, Lou, but no, seriously, you've been those people in Trump will tell you of most of the stuff in myself of trade in China and all that.
00:32:58.240
We got that from watching Lou Dobbs for 20 and 30 years.
00:33:02.340
Well, you've nailed it. You've nailed it 100 percent.
00:33:04.660
I got to tell you, if you told the Chinese Communist Party that Lou Dobbs is going to be secretary of state and he's going to lead the negotiations on the next kind of trade deal.
00:33:12.860
So, right, there would be some long faces. They'd be talking about decoupling very quickly in Beijing.
00:33:19.880
They said, this is not going to work. I got Trump. I got Lou Dobbs.
00:33:22.820
They got Joe and Peter Navarro. Are you kidding me?
00:33:26.080
They said, no, we're just decoupling right now. No need for talk.
00:33:30.600
Steve Schwarzman and all the boys on Wall Street are trying to invest all of Americans' money in China just to be catatonic.
00:33:37.760
That's worth my thinking about it, I'll tell you.
00:33:41.000
No, no, you think Larry Fink would like to hear from Schwarzman and Ray Dahlia.
00:33:46.140
Ray Dahlia would love to hear that Lou Dobbs is going to lead the negotiations on the next China trade deal and talk about getting American pension fund and American veterans and military's money out of these Chinese Communist Party state-owned industries.
00:34:00.660
So, I think we need that. That's the kind of change we need in the next administration.
00:34:05.900
You know, you mentioned being an investment banker in your former life.
00:34:11.020
What is your thought about the idea that these firms, many of them, and I'm talking about many of them, it's not just one sector of Wall Street,
00:34:19.500
many of them are bringing in American money, and they're telling them, they're investors, the sell side is pushing money toward China while we're in an existential contest with the CCP.
00:34:42.140
They're doing it right out in the open in front of God and everyone.
00:34:46.140
It will be as close to God as they get, I believe.
00:34:49.800
Listen, where we tried to have executive orders, remember, they had the investment board to make sure that the military's pension funds were not invested.
00:35:00.440
Larry Fink, people should understand, the lobbying efforts that go on by the major Wall Street firms and money managers to make sure that we limit the Chinese Communist Party's access to American capital markets
00:35:16.520
If you're an entrepreneur in the United States, you have less of an ability to get private equity funding, venture capital funding, or hedge fund funding than you do if you were a member of the CCP in mainland China and had a company that was backed by the CCP.
00:35:32.780
You have a higher probability of getting access to capital.
00:35:39.580
And we know that if we cut the Chinese Communist Party off from both debt and equity, access to debt and equity markets in the United States, they would choke down in about 90 days.
00:35:48.660
Their mother's milk is American capital, principally from the pension funds of middle class and working class Americans.
00:35:54.020
That's the tragedy here, is that the Larry Fink's, and particularly guys like Ray Dalio, you know, make a living off this.
00:36:02.160
And I just want to sort of close out, if we can, with this.
00:36:08.740
Texas Governor Greg Abbott has done what President Trump wanted to do, and even while he marched right up to declaring war,
00:36:19.380
President Trump did, on the cartels, Texas Governor has designated the Mexican drug cartels as terrorist organizations.
00:36:29.220
I think that is extraordinary, and I commend Governor Abbott, as I do so often, for his actions.
00:36:37.640
But this is so critically important that he's done this.
00:36:42.060
It's a huge, we should do it, and we're going to do it, Lou, when we get back in.
00:36:49.160
Mexico, with so many great people down there, most of the country is a part of a failed narco state,
00:36:55.660
and that narco state is now in the Rio Grande Valley and in South Texas.
00:37:00.280
This is why so many hardworking Hispanic Americans are voting for us this time.
00:37:04.120
Remember the Las Vegas Review just did a poll, came out this morning with an analysis that said,
00:37:09.580
hey, Laxalt and the gubernatorial candidate for the Republicans are up.
00:37:16.220
And this comes down to the fact that they said the Democratic Party made a bet on essentially college-educated white women,
00:37:23.140
and the Republican Party made a bet on working-class Hispanics talking about border security, immigration, jobs, no inflation.
00:37:32.480
And this gets to the part of what Abbott and these guys are doing in DeSantis.
00:37:37.220
If we can deliver for Hispanic Americans, this is the biggest game change in 2022.
00:37:45.080
We're going to run the tables in the Republican Party.
00:37:47.160
But, Lou, we'll come back on and talk about leadership.
00:37:50.260
People are putting our – they've had enough of this madness.
00:37:53.640
They're going to tell us they've had enough of this madness.
00:37:58.820
And that's why what Abbott's doing with the cartels, we need more of that every day of the week.
00:38:09.560
As always, Steve, we appreciate you being with us here.
00:38:12.640
We watch you every day and always, always enjoy The War Room.
00:38:19.480
And, by the way, for everyone listening, please save yourself the time, the disappointment, the angst.
00:38:28.580
Don't bother tuning in to those CNN morning shows.
00:38:32.240
Tune in instead to Steve Bannon and The War Room.
00:38:42.640
But if he happens to be on those day parts, avoid him at all costs.
00:38:48.820
I absolutely love – I love the Great America show.
00:38:54.980
It's one of the best – I love coming on as a guest, and we love having you on The War Room.
00:39:10.260
Thanks, everybody, for being with us here tomorrow.
00:39:12.460
Our guest is Attorney Kurt Olson, also a former SEAL.
00:39:16.180
He's represented President Trump, and now MyPillow's Mike Lindell.
00:39:20.920
Filing suit against Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray.
00:39:26.460
That's tomorrow here on The Great America Show.
00:39:30.320
Till then, God bless you, and may God bless America.
