00:00:38.300 Welcome to The Great America Show, folks.

00:00:41.080 Great to have you with us here today.

00:00:42.940 We're going to look at a couple of developments that I think may surprise you across the country,

00:00:49.800 but in specifically one area, that's the state of Missouri, St. Louis, Missouri in particular,

00:00:55.660 because it's become something of, if you will, a template for what so many Marxist-dim-run cities

00:01:04.960 can expect and are living with right now across the country, major cities.

00:01:11.020 We're going to be talking with Mark McCloskey.

00:01:13.480 He is a brilliant attorney, a great American, and he is a citizen of St. Louis.

00:01:21.540 I want to talk about with him how it is the city of St. Louis has literally shrunk.

00:01:30.100 It is caught in what some are calling a loop that is absolute destruction and for many death.

00:01:38.280 And the people of St. Louis are really caught in a nightmare.

00:01:44.420 What was the city?

00:01:45.660 And Mark is the first person to have told me about the population decline in that city.

00:01:50.400 And that is from over a million people in St. Louis declining to a quarter of a million people.

00:01:58.560 The downtown is just devastated.

00:02:01.340 It is, for all practical purposes, a ghost town at the center and at the heart of that city.

00:02:08.560 I want to bring in Mark McCloskey.

00:02:10.900 I think you're going to find him a fascinating fellow.

00:02:13.320 He is bright.

00:02:14.220 He is knowledgeable.

00:02:15.480 And as I said, a great American.

00:02:17.600 Mark, great to have you with us.

00:02:19.020 Hey, thanks for having me on, Lou.

00:02:20.980 The subject is a country right now with so many economic problems, so many societal problems.

00:02:28.180 But when we look specifically at a city like St. Louis, to see what has happened to that city is just astonishing to me, and I'm sure to the audience of this podcast.

00:02:42.740 It is unthinkable that it could just lose three quarters of its population and have no way forward right now that's at least obvious.

00:02:53.740 Your thoughts, Mark?

00:02:55.160 Well, it's a war zone in St. Louis.

00:02:56.940 Early as I was up, I was having some roof work done in the house today.

00:03:00.920 Before I got on, I went up on the roof to talk to the roofers, and, you know, we were talking about why it's leaking.

00:03:05.960 I find a .45 caliber bullet hole in one of the vent hoods.

00:03:09.720 But this is just life in St. Louis.

00:03:12.760 There's constant gunfire.

00:03:14.260 There's constant crime.

00:03:16.100 There was a new entertainment district developed in downtown St. Louis over the last 20 or so years called the Washington Avenue Entertainment District.

00:03:23.780 But it is such a war zone now, people won't go out.

00:03:26.900 At night, the streets are controlled by roving gangs of armed young adults out there.

00:03:34.640 They're basically street racing, shooting each other, and the cops just stand back and watch it happen.

00:03:40.000 They put up the logic of the left, of course, is that people aren't responsible for what they do.

00:03:45.920 Their vehicles are responsible for car accidents.

00:03:47.960 Their guns are responsible for shooting, but the people are blameless.

00:03:51.900 So instead of decreasing the level of violence, they put up road barricades to make the speeding less possible.

00:03:59.660 And now, of course, you know, our illustrious mayor of St. Louis has decided that the way to reduce crime is to hold the businesses accountable that have crime in their parking lots, which is just absolutely amazing.

00:04:13.600 And, you know, as you mentioned, St. Louis is a ghost town.

00:04:18.560 My office is on something called Lindell Boulevard, which is not pronounced the same way as Mike pronounces his name, but spelled the same.

00:04:26.880 But it's like Michigan Avenue in Chicago goes from my office straight downtown to the courthouse in the mayor, what used to be the core business district, but there isn't one anymore.

00:04:35.640 You could lay down on Lindell Boulevard at nine o'clock in the morning and not get run over by a car.

00:04:41.160 There's just nothing going on in the city of St. Louis.

00:04:45.020 So how is Mark given all of this?

00:04:47.940 I think the first question comes up is that, well, there is two simultaneous questions, and I'll conjoin them.

00:04:54.700 So the one is, why in the world are you still there?

00:05:00.700 And the other part of the question is, how does, if you decide to make that decision, how do you survive?

00:05:07.600 And I'm talking about when I talk about you, I'm talking about the people of St. Louis who remain.

00:05:12.660 How in the world do they move forward?

00:05:17.240 Well, here's the thing.

00:05:18.260 Where I live, the reason why I don't move, and I've got a nice country place about 45 miles west of here, and we've got our chickens and our vegetable garden.

00:05:29.240 We're ready to go out there and have to live off the land if we have to.

00:05:32.440 But I have a house here in St. Louis, which is not replaceable anywhere else.

00:05:37.180 One of the things that I always say is one of the nice things about the decline of Western civilization is that a guy like me can afford to live in a house like I live in.

00:05:44.800 And we've all seen your house, because of the Black Lives Matter harassment of you and your wife, with you and your wife out there with your weapons at the ready.

00:05:59.340 But the house is spectacular.

00:06:02.020 Yeah.

00:06:02.400 And, you know, if this house were in Chicago or Dallas or any other place, it'd be, you know, $100 million.

00:06:08.480 And in St. Louis, it's not.

00:06:10.120 I mean, they just, you know, an example of what's happened to real estate prices in the city of St. Louis.

00:06:14.860 And I think it hit the Wall Street Journal yesterday or today about what a real estate nightmare of St. Louis is.

00:06:21.380 AT&T built a new headquarters here in town the year I moved back to St. Louis, 1986.

00:06:26.060 They spent $150 million in 1986 building it.

00:06:30.100 In 2002, it sold for $205 million.

00:06:34.300 In 2022, it sold for $4 million.

00:06:37.580 It sold again yesterday for less.

00:06:39.240 A million, 400,000 square feet.

00:06:42.360 That's $3 a square foot for prime real estate in downtown St. Louis.

00:06:47.380 You know what the average value of real estate is in Manhattan for office buildings?

00:06:51.380 $1,000 a square foot, right?

00:06:53.840 $3 a square foot in St. Louis versus $1,000 in New York City.

00:06:58.280 The largest office building in the world before the building of the Pentagon, the building in downtown St. Louis called the Railway Exchange Building.

00:07:04.900 For most of my life, it was a headquarters for Famous & Bar, which was a department store later, Macy's.

00:07:11.120 Macy's closed it in 2013.

00:07:13.460 It's 1,200,000 square feet.

00:07:15.920 Second largest building now in modern St. Louis.

00:07:18.420 It has been empty since 2013.

00:07:20.480 The city has condemned it.

00:07:22.940 The bums, the homeless had broken in, stolen everything, started setting fires to it. 1.00

00:07:29.520 The city condemned it and boarded it up.

00:07:31.380 Here was the largest office building in the world for decades, which is now a board-up, condemned building in the heart of downtown St. Louis.

00:07:38.700 And that's, you know, when you talk about people fleeing the city, why not?

00:07:43.720 I mean, it's for the average person, you're faced with crime, a government that wants to protect the criminals against honest citizens instead of protecting the honest citizens against criminals.

00:07:55.480 Yeah, it's truly dystopian.

00:07:58.600 It is truly gut-wrenching to think of all that has transpired in St. Louis and in many other cities around the country.

00:08:06.980 But all in the name of progress, we're looking at disaster.

00:08:12.280 We're talking with attorney Mark McCloskey, and we're going to talk about what we see as the possible future for a number of cities, including St. Louis.

00:08:23.700 Mark is a very smart fellow, as you've already discerned.

00:08:27.060 We need to understand where these policies that lead to these kinds of desperate and dire and devastating consequences, where do they originate and why in the world are so many of them so popular in, well, many of the country cities that are on the same path as St. Louis?

00:08:52.020 We'll be right back.

00:08:53.480 Stay with us.

00:08:54.120 We'll be right back.

00:09:24.120 We need to be prepared.

00:10:28.540 We're talking with attorney, distinguished and well-known attorney, Mark McCloskey.

00:10:36.400 We're talking about the travails of St. Louis, and that is an understatement.

00:10:42.440 Frankly, it is a desperate situation that the city is just, I don't know.

00:10:49.080 Mark, is St. Louis actually going to survive?

00:10:53.120 Well, it depends on your definition of survival.

00:10:55.100 Well, I genuinely believe, I mean, I've been living here most of my life.

00:10:59.180 I took eight years going to college and law school in Texas and started practicing there.

00:11:03.080 But the rest of my life, I've lived in St. Louis, and it's gone from being a great city.

00:11:07.620 We had five of the largest defense contractors in the city of St. Louis and Monsanto and all kinds of major corporate entities, essentially none anymore.

00:11:18.240 They used to make Corvettes in downtown St. Louis, not anymore.

00:11:21.420 Our auto industry is gone.

00:11:23.320 Truck industry is gone.

00:11:25.100 And it's not coincidental.

00:11:26.560 I don't believe it's accidental.

00:11:28.240 We haven't had a Republican administration in the city of St. Louis since 1949.

00:11:33.020 But then it was mostly, you know, in the old days, Democrats weren't over communists.

00:11:37.620 In the old days, Democrats had differing political philosophies, but you didn't get the impression that they were intentionally trying to destroy the country.

00:11:45.020 I have come to the conclusion that all these places like St. Louis and Chicago and Baltimore and LA and San Francisco and New York, the people that run those cities actively want to destroy our civilization.

00:11:57.540 They want to create chaos.

00:11:59.540 They want to create an underclass that is completely defenseless and unable to support itself to look for a big government for help.

00:12:08.100 And I don't think it's incompetence.

00:12:10.020 I know it's not incompetent. 1.00

00:12:12.080 There are some people that are so stupid out there, you can believe that they'd make these kinds of errors. 0.99

00:12:16.580 My favorite example today, though, is I saw this right before we got on the air. 0.99

00:12:21.020 City of San Francisco is floating an ordinance to make businesses give six months notice before they go out of business or their customers can sue them.

00:12:30.140 OK, I plan on being broke in six months and I'm going to have to close down.

00:12:35.240 And if I don't give you six months notice, you as a customer can sue me for the very reason I'm going out of business because I can't make a living in this crime infested.

00:12:45.140 You know, I won't use the language that the president used about some other countries, but you know what I'm saying.

00:12:50.020 Exactly.

00:12:50.880 And he wasn't wrong, by the way.

00:12:54.020 Yeah.

00:12:54.480 And you got and who's the target of all this?

00:12:57.100 It's the small business owners.

00:12:58.440 What makes the United States great?

00:13:00.820 Most of our economy is small businesses, right?

00:13:03.660 What are all these tactics?

00:13:05.240 What are all these decisions designed to do is to make small businesses untenable, to force them out of business, to make crimes such that they can't afford the security necessary to stay in business.

00:13:16.560 In the grocery store across the street from my house here in the west end of St. Louis, you have to go and ask the clerk to unlock the laundry detergent because it's such a crime ridden area, the laundry detergent.

00:13:27.940 Laundry detergent.

00:13:28.680 I mean, not drug precursors, not alcohol, not cigarettes, but laundry detergent has to be locked up.

00:13:36.080 That's crazy.

00:13:37.500 That's insane.

00:13:38.700 It's absolutely insane.

00:13:39.400 And St. Louis is in a further state of decay than even San Francisco, but San Francisco is so obviously on precisely the same track as St. Louis, and we're seeing it across the Midwest.

00:13:55.220 And yet there is no change in the policies, the attitudes, the values of the Marxist left in this country, the Marxist Dems.

00:14:03.360 The Democrat Party is gone.

00:14:05.060 It is, as you pointed out, I mean, it is literally gone.

00:14:07.900 It has nothing to do with the old Democrat Party.

00:14:11.100 You know, Scoop Jackson would wonder what in the heck is going on, for example, and now people are asking me who is Scoop Jackson.

00:14:18.400 But so the reality is that this party means just exactly as you said to destroy America.

00:14:27.000 And they've got a great leg up in getting it done.

00:14:31.300 They're without opposition in most of these cities.

00:14:34.840 They control Chicago.

00:14:37.060 They control San Francisco and every other city that is in major decline.

00:14:43.220 And it's a remarkable thing.

00:14:45.360 And yet the voters keep voting for them, which I don't understand.

00:14:48.420 And, you know, year after year, month after month, day after day, the average citizen of St. Louis lives in a crime ridden.

00:14:57.120 I mean, if you go north from where I live, it's it's not a war zone anymore.

00:15:00.860 It's the battle's over.

00:15:02.200 It's it's abandoned fields, burned out houses and empty fields.

00:15:05.840 You know, it the and then the population that has fled from there has moved further out into the suburbs and and replicating the same situation that used to be here in North St. Louis.

00:15:16.340 And so and the government, once again, instead of doing anything effective about controlling crime, is punishing the people who are the victims of crime, punishing the small business owners that are out there, you know, sacrificing their lives and their capital to try to make an improvement in their communities.

00:15:35.200 And our mayor wants to hold them accountable for the crime that she is allowing to have happen. 0.99

00:15:40.460 Fortunately, the police department of the city of St. Louis is going to be taken back over by the state of Missouri.

00:15:48.020 It's been under the control of the city only since 2012 had been run by the by the state government because of the rampant corruption in St. Louis for a long time.

00:15:57.700 City of St. Louis got control of its own police department again, I think, in 2012.

00:16:01.440 But as of August 28th of this year, it's going back to being controlled by the state government for the for the very reasons we're discussing.

00:16:08.540 St. Louis is incapable of governing itself.

00:16:12.460 And and the power structure in St. Louis, I'm going to ask this this way, because whether it's Chicago, St. Louis,

00:16:21.400 we are seeing a decidedly racial divide in those cities, whether that was the the predicate to what the conditions are today or whether it is the result of other forces that were to work over a long period of time.

00:16:38.420 Right now, there is a strong, powerful implication of racial conflict at the bedrock of what is happening in these cities.

00:16:49.800 Is that true or is that just an appearance?

00:16:53.240 Every at least the powers that be want to sell the concept that everything is racist.

00:16:58.320 And then but of course, it's all divide and conquer.

00:17:01.400 Right. That's what all this is about.

00:17:02.780 And so they promote the concept that everything that's wrong with with certain races in this country,

00:17:08.580 particularly African-Americans, is a result of white privilege and racism.

00:17:13.680 And so then you get people like, for example, now, Jasmine Crockett, who's a Democrat congresswoman from Texas,

00:17:21.840 who says that African-Americans shouldn't have to pay taxes. 1.00

00:17:26.500 Now, just saying that is going to piss off a lot of people that are paying taxes.

00:17:30.560 But more than that, all it does is create another divide, create another wedge.

00:17:34.160 And if we stand together as Americans, if we all stood up against the government and said, no,

00:17:39.840 we're not going to stand for the destruction of our civilization.

00:17:42.800 We're not going to stand for the destruction of Western culture.

00:17:45.980 We're not going to let communists take over our country and and continue to destroy our freedoms.

00:17:51.560 We could stop it.

00:17:52.880 And I always say this every time I give a presentation.

00:17:55.080 I was down in Beaumont, Texas, last week, talking to what's the largest Republican women's club in Texas.

00:18:01.440 And I said, look, I always recite the Declaration of Independence.

00:18:04.940 And I say that line where it says that to secure these rights, governments are instituted amongst men,

00:18:10.520 deriving their just powers from the consent of the government.

00:18:13.920 And that's us.

00:18:15.120 And whenever any bad thing happens, when our country moves towards communism,

00:18:19.560 when our president declares unconstitutional mandates,

00:18:22.980 when any of these things happen, when they lock us down under the pandemic,

00:18:26.640 any of these things happen, it's because we consent to it,

00:18:30.340 because we're too complacent, because we've been too cowed,

00:18:34.580 because we're too fat and happy and we allow these things to happen.

00:18:38.840 Well, our Declaration of Independence says that power belongs to us, not to the government.

00:18:44.440 And when any form of government becomes destructive of those ends,

00:18:48.720 it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it.

00:18:51.380 And that's where we are right now in this country.

00:18:53.820 We've got a power structure that is actively seeking to destroy our freedoms,

00:18:58.360 our republic, our way of life, and our culture.

00:19:01.200 And the American people need to stand up and say, we will not tolerate it.

00:19:06.940 And tolerate it, we will not.

00:19:10.080 We're talking with Mark McCloskey, and we're coming right back with him.

00:19:13.740 We're going to talk about some of these issues.

00:19:16.460 For example, what has been the role of business itself, corporate America?

00:19:20.160 What has been the role of the Democratic Party?

00:19:23.180 Where have the Republicans been?

00:19:25.140 And how is it that we could come to a point that we were the world's only superpower

00:19:29.420 and are now struggling for our very survival as both a constitutional republic and a superpower?

00:19:36.720 We'll be right back.

00:19:37.500 Stay with us.

00:19:40.060 Lou Dobbs here.

00:19:41.140 I'm delighted to let you all know that the program Lou Dobbs Tonight has returned to the air.

00:19:46.680 That's right.

00:19:48.300 Lou Dobbs Tonight is back.

00:19:51.080 We're live each and every weeknight at 7 p.m. Eastern and 6 p.m. Central on Rumble.com slash Lou Dobbs.

00:20:00.300 That's Rumble.com slash Lou Dobbs.

00:20:03.720 I hope you'll be joining us for Lou Dobbs Tonight as our fight to save this country has only begun.

00:20:10.700 We're back.

00:20:16.880 We're talking with Mark McCloskey.

00:20:18.460 He is, as I said, a terrific, great American.

00:20:23.800 Let's talk about what we're witnessing right now in D.C.

00:20:27.780 because it is certainly central to a lot of what ails us at every level of government and every part of our society.

00:20:35.020 The Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, actually bucking the head of the party, that is, President Donald Trump, who said, kill the FISA bill.

00:20:47.480 It is objectionable.

00:20:50.400 It is constitutionally invalid.

00:20:53.900 And here you've got Johnson wanting to figure out a compromise. 1.00

00:20:58.080 I mean, the man is a complete—I have to say, I think of him as nothing more than a damn fool. 1.00

00:21:03.600 Your thoughts? 1.00

00:21:04.200 Well, he's either a damn fool or he's compromised or he's a liar. 1.00

00:21:09.780 I mean, he takes over the Speaker's position after we get rid of Kevin McCarthy for basically just being a show for the Democrats. 1.00

00:21:19.480 And he runs on a platform, essentially, of being a constitutional conservative against spending, against endless wars, in favor of the right of privacy and the integrity of our individual personal rights.

00:21:35.140 And now what's he going to do?

00:21:36.680 He's going to re-up the FISA courts.

00:21:38.360 He's going to try to pass $60 billion more for the endless war in Ukraine at a time when our own border is just open.

00:21:47.020 And our government, United States government, is putting foreigners on airplanes, illegal aliens, flying them at your dollar and mine into the country and dispersing them without any kind of vetting, without any kind of background checks. 0.93

00:21:59.960 Just doing everything which in any other country would be considered treasonous and it's going on and Mike Johnson is not doing anything about it.

00:22:08.720 But the problem is you get elected to Congress and all of a sudden you become beholden to the power structure that's going to get you reelected.

00:22:16.600 And I'll just digress by this.

00:22:17.820 I used to have this cartoon up in the wall of my office.

00:22:20.340 A guy's talking to his school-age daughter and says, who does a congressman work for?

00:22:24.580 And she says, the people.

00:22:26.220 And he says, let me rephrase a question.

00:22:28.160 Let's assume you've got a job that pays $174,000 a year for two years, but it costs you $30 million to get that job.

00:22:35.220 Now, who does a congressman work for?

00:22:36.680 And she says, the highest bidder.

00:22:38.960 And that's, you know, and that's where we are in this country.

00:22:41.820 And that's the problem.

00:22:43.600 Everybody goes here and gets elected.

00:22:45.180 They go Hollywood.

00:22:45.940 They get controlled by the lobbyists.

00:22:47.720 They get controlled by going out to nice dinner parties and smoking cigars and drinking scotch at nice clubs, going out to Martha's Vineyard and hobnobbing with ex-presidents.

00:22:57.580 And they sell their soul for their political survival.

00:23:02.360 And what this country needs is people going to Congress and going to the elected president, people like Donald Trump.

00:23:07.900 That aren't doing it for their own self-aggrandizement.

00:23:10.860 But doing it despite what it costs them personally, economically, socially.

00:23:15.200 And what you need, this country is founded on the concept that Congress would come and meet from time to time when necessary.

00:23:22.100 And there would be citizens who would give up their time and give up their lives to come for the benefit of their fellow man.

00:23:28.200 Now we have professional politicians at every level, from the city of St. Louis to Jefferson City, our state capital, to Washington, D.C., where what we have is people that want to stay in their positions at all costs for as long as they possibly can.

00:23:43.580 Not for the benefit of the people, not for the benefit of the people, not to improve our society, not to preserve our culture and our freedom, but to preserve their position and the support of their lobbyists.

00:23:53.720 And that's the crux of everything wrong, I think, with the country today.

00:23:57.260 And I couldn't quibble with a word of what you've said.

00:24:01.540 And I hope everyone really thinks about what you've said and takes it to heart.

00:24:08.180 I'm sure that most people listening to you right now agree with you.

00:24:12.980 We have also right now a government that is confounding because, and I was thinking about it as you were just talking, I don't believe, I believe that President Trump is the only president since, I think since Roosevelt, who has, or arguably Kennedy.

00:24:39.180 But nonetheless, either Franklin Delano Roosevelt and or John Kennedy, they're the only two presidents that have any chance of being those who came in with more money than they left the Oval Office.

00:24:54.700 Think about that.

00:24:55.940 And we're talking about millions.

00:24:57.540 We're talking about hundreds of millions of dollars.

00:25:00.280 We talk about Obama and we talk about Clinton.

00:25:03.100 We're talking about pillaging from the Oval Office.

00:25:10.140 And no one raises a hand, certainly not the FBI, certainly not any of the investigative agencies and committees of the U.S. Congress or Senate.

00:25:21.340 Yeah, it's just amazing.

00:25:22.700 We think about Bill Clinton.

00:25:23.780 Until he got elected president of the United States, he never made more than $30,000 a year.

00:25:28.700 And now look at him.

00:25:30.000 Hundreds of millions of dollars.

00:25:31.180 There's no honest way for that to happen.

00:25:34.520 And then you look at Joe Biden and, you know, what does Jamie Comer say?

00:25:39.500 At least $20 or $30 million they've traced into the Biden family.

00:25:43.180 Selling what?

00:25:44.100 They don't make widgets.

00:25:45.440 They don't sell anything.

00:25:47.060 The only thing they have to sell is influence.

00:25:49.500 And yet, in the real world, is anybody going to go to jail?

00:25:52.200 I mean, if you went to the 7-Eleven and stole $100 worth of something, in the old days, you'd go to jail.

00:25:57.260 These days, shoplifting isn't prosecuted in most cities.

00:26:00.300 But here you're president of the United States and your family has taken in $20, $30 million, selling nothing but your influence.

00:26:08.620 And no one's going to go to jail.

00:26:10.180 But look at poor old Peter Navarro sitting in jail right now for doing no more than the job he was assigned to do and doing what the Constitution authorized and required him to do.

00:26:22.060 Exactly.

00:26:23.340 And in the process, an illegitimate committee, a committee illegally formed, attacking the man and destroying President Trump's executive privileges, rolling back attorney-client privileges as well.

00:26:41.020 That's the worst thing right there, that now that this government is requiring you, you get arrested.

00:26:47.260 How are you going to get a lawyer to represent you when you know, A, that if you represent some guy like Donald Trump, they're going to prosecute you and try to pull your law license?

00:26:55.220 Look at John Eastman, for example.

00:26:56.560 And then if you do take on the representation, some bizarre leftist judge is going to use the crime fraud exception to require you to testify against your own client.

00:27:10.620 I mean, I'd give up my law license in a second if some judge made me do that, because you cannot do that in good conscience and you cannot do it and be a lawyer.

00:27:18.900 I mean, that is a very basic foundation of everything we hold near and dear in this profession.

00:27:24.680 We don't have a judicial system anymore. 0.56

00:27:26.900 We've got the KGB. 0.70

00:27:28.260 We've got the coercive arm of the left being used.

00:27:32.880 And I called it coup by subpoena about two and a half years ago, but it's not by subpoena anymore.

00:27:38.500 Now it's coup by prison.

00:27:40.760 I mean, if you stand up, there's only one unforgivable crime in America today, and that's standing up against the left.

00:27:46.400 You can steal as much as you want to if you're in the power structure, but if you run against and look like you're going to win against the left, they will persecute you, they will prosecute you, and they will.

00:27:57.080 I mean, some of these verdicts, like in the judge's decision against Trump in $454 million, $140 million in a jury verdict against Rudy Giuliani in favor of some nameless election judges who could not possibly have been defamed $140 million.

00:28:14.220 It is a criminal enterprise from the top down run by the left to destroy the opposition.

00:28:22.200 It's no different than the Soviet Union or Great China. 0.68

00:28:50.060 Remarkable.

00:28:50.500 I told you the man was quite a witness and observer and analyst of all that is happening in the body politic and this society of ours.

00:29:02.040 And I think he just nailed the legal system as well. 0.86

00:29:06.000 Corrupt, decadent, demonic, perverse. 0.95

00:29:11.000 That's our legal system. 0.72

00:29:12.660 Try getting a fair trial in New York City or the District of Columbia.

00:29:22.260 That will be your assignment class for the next month.

00:29:29.580 We'll give you a whole month to try that out.

00:29:32.460 So thank you for being with us.

00:29:34.260 We're going to be taking on the Republican establishment and those Marxist Dems, I assure you, tomorrow as well. 0.69
