00:00:33.820 Hello, everybody, and welcome to The Great America Show.

00:00:37.300 It is great to have you with us.

00:00:39.020 President Trump started this week back in a New York City courtroom

00:00:43.780 as the Marxist Dems are hoping to do all the damage they can possibly do to him

00:00:49.340 to keep him off the campaign trail.

00:00:51.660 Trump gave a statement before entering the courtroom.

00:00:55.780 He said that this is an outrage.

00:00:59.640 Thank you very much.

00:01:00.860 I just want to say before we begin, these are all Biden trials.

00:01:04.520 This is done as election interference.

00:01:06.880 Everybody knows it.

00:01:08.120 I'm here instead of being able to be in Pennsylvania and Georgia

00:01:11.560 and lots of other places campaigning.

00:01:14.900 And it's very unfair.

00:01:16.260 Fortunately, the poll numbers are very good.

00:01:18.060 They've been going up because people understand what's going on.

00:01:21.240 This is a witch hunt, and it's a shame, and it comes out of Washington.

00:01:24.960 It's in coordination with Washington, everything, including the DA's office.

00:01:29.260 It's in coordination with Washington.

00:01:31.580 I just want people to understand that this is done for purposes of hurting the opponent

00:01:37.400 of the worst president in the history of our country.

00:01:40.700 It's a disgrace what these Marxist Dems are doing to President Trump, doing to our system

00:01:46.760 of justice and this nation.

00:01:48.920 Over the weekend, Speaker Mike Johnson issued his latest betrayal of the Republican Party,

00:01:54.660 a $95 billion betrayal.

00:01:57.100 Johnson and his uniparty of 101 rhinos sending another gift to foreign nations, in particular,

00:02:03.720 Ukraine, $60 billion of it to Ukraine, $26 billion to Israel, and another $8 billion to Taiwan.

00:02:12.660 Not a single dollar of it going to secure our southern border, but $300 million of it

00:02:18.180 will go towards securing Ukraine's eastern border.

00:02:21.920 How comforting.

00:02:23.420 And Speaker Johnson, who has been nothing but a disgrace as Speaker,

00:02:27.140 talking to the press after passing the bill, he says this funding was needed because Russia

00:02:33.000 is a real threat to our prosperity and security, and this issue demands American leadership.

00:02:39.700 He's right, but America isn't getting that leadership.

00:02:44.140 I said these are not normal times.

00:02:45.760 They're not.

00:02:46.620 The world is destabilized, and it's a tinderbox.

00:02:49.880 It's a dangerous time.

00:02:51.860 Three of our primary adversaries, Russia and Iran and China, are working together, 0.99

00:02:56.460 and they're being aggressors around the globe, and they're a global threat to our prosperity 0.63

00:03:01.140 and our security.

00:03:03.440 Their advance threatens their free world, and it demands American leadership. 0.86

00:03:07.820 If we turn our backs right now, the consequences could be devastating.

00:03:11.520 It makes you wonder just who does Mike Johnson think he's fooling.

00:03:16.580 The military-industrial complex and the warmongers in Congress seem to own just about 100%

00:03:23.320 of Speaker Mike Johnson.

00:03:25.220 Well, after that bill was passed, one of Mike Johnson's mouthpieces, Congressman Tony

00:03:31.140 Gonzalez, ran to make an appearance on CNN, well, to kind of, I don't know, kiss up to,

00:03:40.060 I guess, Speaker Johnson, or maybe it was worse than that.

00:03:44.700 Rino Gonzalez took the opportunity not to call on the House to start working for America and

00:03:49.800 Americans, but to call out those great Republicans who stood up to this gross abuse of foreign

00:03:56.120 spending.

00:03:56.980 Even going so far as calling fellow Republicans members of the KKK.

00:04:02.760 How many K's in KKK?

00:04:05.100 Three.

00:04:05.960 Take a listen to this idiot.

00:04:08.340 Try to figure that out.

00:04:09.640 He will survive.

00:04:10.680 Look, the House is a rough and rowdy place, but Mike Johnson is going to be just fine.

00:04:14.420 I served 20 years in the military.

00:04:16.400 It's my absolute honor to be in Congress, but I served with some real scumbags.

00:04:20.560 Look, Matt Gaetz, he paid minors to have sex with him at drug parties.

00:04:26.080 Bob Goode endorsed my opponent, a known neo-Nazi.

00:04:29.520 These people used to walk around with white hoods at night.

00:04:32.420 Now they're walking around with white hoods in the daytime.

00:04:34.940 Gonzalez is not only a rhino, but as big a fool as Mike Johnson.

00:04:40.080 I don't even know why they waste their time calling themselves Republicans anymore.

00:04:45.200 They are outright Democrats.

00:04:47.940 And by the way, they're gutless wonders without principle.

00:04:51.860 Our guest today is attorney Jesse Banal.

00:04:55.180 He represents President Trump in many of President Trump's civil cases.

00:04:59.560 And he worked on the 2016 Trump campaign as a parliamentary procedure expert.

00:05:06.440 And now here is Jesse Banal.

00:05:08.380 And Jesse, just great to have you with us here.

00:05:12.040 And let's begin with the good news.

00:05:15.560 Letitia James having thrown back in her teeth that there was something about the bond that

00:05:23.740 just simply was inordinate and unjustified, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

00:05:30.560 It's good to see her just basically floundering as she should have been throughout.

00:05:38.060 Your thoughts?

00:05:39.060 Yeah, that's right, Lou.

00:05:39.960 This was a temper tantrum.

00:05:41.500 It was a temper tantrum by an attorney general who thought that she could be able to destroy

00:05:47.700 Donald Trump's wealth in New York City without him getting full access to his appellate rights.

00:05:56.660 She believes very strongly that the process should be the punishment.

00:06:02.100 And so she found a judge that was willing to go along with almost everything that she

00:06:06.360 asked for in a hearing.

00:06:07.860 You know, this is the judge that thought Mar-a-Lago was only worth about $18 million, in which

00:06:12.780 case, you know, most people would say, oh, I'll take 10 of them.

00:06:14.620 Um, and, uh, so she threw this temper tantrum and said, well, President Trump was able to

00:06:22.620 come up with $175 million bond.

00:06:25.620 You know, that's a huge number for almost every American to be able to come up with.

00:06:29.260 And she, and she said that just simply wasn't enough.

00:06:32.620 And it's preposterous.

00:06:34.100 It was so preposterous that even Judge Angeron, who's no friend of Donald Trump, who's proven

00:06:38.480 himself to be a Trump hater, wouldn't even go along with her request.

00:06:42.460 Yeah, it is.

00:06:43.540 It is stunning to see the hate, uh, the constancy of that hate, uh, over, over years and to campaign,

00:06:53.080 uh, to destroy the man, uh, and then, uh, to proceed in the new New York judiciary to do

00:07:00.940 just, just that effort.

00:07:03.580 Uh, it's just amazing to me that, that, that there's no one in the New York court system

00:07:09.900 who will bridle her back, at least bring her to heel, uh, and, and, and suddenly discover

00:07:18.100 perhaps that there is such a thing as law and order.

00:07:21.020 Yeah, that's exactly what should be happening right now.

00:07:25.120 That is what our justice system was designed, uh, for is for some is when you have a judge

00:07:30.620 that just goes so far out of left field as you have a judge anger on, or, you know, when

00:07:35.500 you have a prosecutor that is so aggressive, like Letitia James, you're supposed to have 1.00

00:07:40.640 a judicial system that, that brings them back in line, but in too many courthouses right 0.79

00:07:46.220 now, there's a poison.

00:07:47.540 There's a poison that goes beyond just the judges on the bench.

00:07:51.320 It goes back to what's going on in their chambers.

00:07:53.680 And I've actually been back in judicial chambers when this happens, but these judges, they talk

00:07:58.680 with each other.

00:07:59.400 They talk with their, their secretaries, their judicial assistants, their law clerks.

00:08:03.660 And in so many of these places in New York, there's such a fervor of hatred against Donald

00:08:09.440 Trump that none of them can, can withstand, uh, the, the social pressure that goes on in

00:08:15.500 their chambers, uh, to actually stand up for law and order when law and order supports Donald

00:08:20.820 Trump.

00:08:21.220 And so that's a, a really, really difficult thing that is very much undermining the rule

00:08:26.460 of law in America right now.

00:08:28.220 Uh, it's certainly in America, certainly in New York state.

00:08:31.720 I think New York state now has proved itself to be, uh, the perhaps I'm going to, I haven't

00:08:38.040 sitting here thinking there is Illinois, there are other States, uh, there is California, but

00:08:44.300 in my experience and coverage, uh, there is no state, uh, worse than New York, uh, and

00:08:51.840 the only place in the United States more corrupt in its judiciary, uh, is, uh, the district of

00:08:58.820 Columbia.

00:08:59.260 Yeah.

00:08:59.840 I mean, those are two prize examples of just everything our, our system should not be about.

00:09:06.960 Yeah, Lou, that's exactly right.

00:09:08.800 And it's no secret that that's the reason that, that, uh, you know, these, uh, the, the,

00:09:14.300 Biden white house, uh, these, uh, government bureaucrats that hate Donald Trump, and they're

00:09:20.100 doing everything they can to bring these cases against Trump in New York city and Washington,

00:09:26.520 DC.

00:09:26.920 And it's, it's a really sad thing because of course, most of New York state is a beautiful

00:09:30.320 place with wonderful people.

00:09:31.580 It just happens to be New York city.

00:09:34.400 That is this, this swamp, uh, just as bad as DC, where they are just absolutely have, uh,

00:09:40.380 so many people have this absolute hatred of Donald Trump.

00:09:43.520 And so between Washington DC and New York, you have these prosecutors and you have these

00:09:48.320 judges, and it's so sad to see judges be a part of this that are not, it's not good

00:09:55.080 enough for them to have their voices heard at the ballot box. 0.76

00:09:58.520 They want to use their judicial positions, their prosecutor positions to try to affect

00:10:04.520 the 2024 election and to try to take out Donald Trump and try to get Joe Biden reelected.

00:10:10.220 That's scary.

00:10:11.720 It is.

00:10:12.500 It's, it is worrisome to say the least.

00:10:15.460 Uh, what is equally worrisome is that there is no countervailing influence against such

00:10:21.280 political corruption and the judiciary.

00:10:23.660 And, uh, in, in New York, uh, California, I don't know how many States on the either coast

00:10:31.220 actually are engaged in this, uh, lawfare, uh, through and through that is the judge, the

00:10:38.800 prosecutor, uh, the attorneys, uh, the legal system, uh, the associations in every state.

00:10:45.400 I mean, to see what happened to John Eastman in, in, in California, uh, what is happening

00:10:51.120 to Donald Trump and not one, not two, but three New York courts, uh, almost simultaneously

00:10:57.640 is, uh, beyond egregious.

00:11:00.340 It is vicious.

00:11:02.320 It is absolutely vicious, uh, Lou.

00:11:05.420 And it's, it's where, you know, the, the rule of law in America really does go to die

00:11:10.160 if we don't, if we don't protect it.

00:11:11.640 And it's, and you know, one thing that I think you said that's so important is there's not

00:11:16.180 a countervailing force here.

00:11:17.820 Unfortunately, the other side, uh, feels free to play these games and to use their power, uh,

00:11:25.280 this power of lawfare to try to destroy Donald Trump because they know that Republicans would

00:11:30.100 never do the same thing at the shoe or on the other foot right now.

00:11:34.160 There's been unilateral disarmament and it's, it's one of the most dangerous things out

00:11:38.360 there because, uh, that every time Republicans seem to get control and, and we see this in

00:11:43.700 Congress, they decide that they're going to play nice when the, when the Democrats and

00:11:47.920 the left never do.

00:11:50.020 And so, um, you know, one of the things that's going to be critically important going forward

00:11:54.460 is accountability.

00:11:56.680 I, I truly, truly believe that these judges, these prosecutors are violating the law.

00:12:04.300 They are, they are compromising civil rights under color of law.

00:12:08.300 That is a federal offense.

00:12:10.780 And if we are to put a stop to this once and for all, the only way to do that is for there

00:12:16.200 to be accountability.

00:12:17.360 The next time that, uh, you know, when Donald Trump is in the white house, we need to have

00:12:22.040 a department of justice that actually goes after these, these people for their lawfare.

00:12:27.320 We need accountability.

00:12:28.880 No question about it.

00:12:30.360 And this, by the way, is it resonates of something that, uh, in the 2016 election, uh, lock her

00:12:38.980 up became a chant across all of the rallies and you could see president Trump flinch.

00:12:44.720 Uh, he did not, uh, that did not suit him to, to even think about prosecuting her.

00:12:50.820 Uh, and he declined to prosecute her, even though it was very clear she had committed a

00:12:56.000 number of felonies, uh, and acts against the interests of the United States.

00:13:00.320 He chose to be classy, to be forgiving.

00:13:04.000 And, uh, and here is what it's earned him.

00:13:07.760 Uh, and if that, if the Republican party and the, and, and the Trump organization has not

00:13:14.180 learned that lesson, because it is a responsibility, I believe, uh, of this president, uh, Donald

00:13:20.480 J.

00:13:20.860 Trump to make certain that there is the accountability that you are, uh, describing at this moment.

00:13:26.980 Uh, we're, we're talking with Jesse Benal.

00:13:29.520 He is, uh, one of president Trump's leading attorneys, a great American, and we're coming right

00:13:34.880 back.

00:13:35.420 Please stay with us.

00:13:37.760 Folks, you know, I beg everyone to get ready for the next crisis.

00:13:42.100 And when it comes, our lives will likely change overnight, whether it's natural disaster, war,

00:13:47.860 or another disease.

00:13:49.360 We have to be ready as we can be.

00:13:51.400 We saw what happened in 2020 when we found ourselves dependent on global supply chains.

00:13:56.360 We're still dependent on China and other countries for more than 90% of all our pharmaceuticals.

00:14:01.800 With clusters of respiratory illnesses popping up around the world and here, we need to be

00:14:07.280 prepared.

00:14:07.720 And now is the time to make certain you have what your family needs when the next crisis

00:14:13.180 hits.

00:15:10.900 We're back and we're talking with Jesse Banal and Jesse, I just have to, let's turn to what

00:15:20.600 is going on at this very moment in New York and that is the outrageous prosecution of Donald

00:15:28.460 Trump.

00:15:29.300 He's spent a week in this, in New York City.

00:15:33.900 He's got more weeks to go, it looks like.

00:15:36.860 And, and your thoughts about why this case is, as was ever, how did it successfully come

00:15:47.620 about for the, for the Marxist left who actually mean it to, to be a pure election interference?

00:15:54.860 Joe Biden made it happen.

00:15:56.300 Um, and specifically what happened is they took the number three prosecutor at the Department

00:16:03.680 of Justice, the most, you know, big and powerful law firm in the world.

00:16:07.740 And they moved him to a county district attorney's office, you know, the, a big county, Manhattan,

00:16:14.400 but it's certainly a step down from the Department of Justice being the number three at the Department

00:16:20.960 of Justice, he was moved to go after and get Donald Trump using this preposterous legal

00:16:28.260 theory, uh, that was, uh, completely devoid not only of, uh, of a legal basis, but it had

00:16:35.460 no factual basis, uh, either.

00:16:37.720 It's based primarily on the word of Michael Cohen.

00:16:40.320 Um, you know, not exactly the most credible man in the world.

00:16:43.000 And so, uh, they take, and they move over this prosecutor from Biden's justice department

00:16:48.860 to the New York, uh, um, district attorney's office, and they bring this case and lo and

00:16:54.620 behold, it gets transferred to a Trump hating judge, somebody who is donated to Joe Biden.

00:17:01.840 And of course he was going to schedule it to have maximum political impact to try to take

00:17:07.820 Donald Trump off the campaign trail.

00:17:09.960 So regardless of what happened at trial, he would be able to do everything he could to

00:17:14.780 hurt Donald Trump when he was running for election, uh, uh, as president of the United

00:17:18.800 States.

00:17:19.300 And let me just say that I have never seen before a judge make political donations while

00:17:26.460 in, uh, while on the bench.

00:17:28.700 Uh, it's something that is just, uh, it is unheard of.

00:17:32.760 And this judge, not only has he made political donations, not only has he donated to Joe Biden,

00:17:38.740 but when he was called out for it, he refused to recuse himself.

00:17:43.140 This is exactly why we have recusal rules. 1.00

00:17:45.560 This is the clearest example of why recusal is warranted of any case I've ever seen in

00:17:52.200 my life.

00:17:53.920 And, and, and, and not only is, is he conflicted himself because of this, but his daughter is

00:17:59.940 making money on this case and immediate family member.

00:18:03.260 This is some, this would be a bad movie.

00:18:05.140 This would be a bad B movie that wouldn't be believable if it was in Hollywood, just

00:18:09.080 because it's so preposterous to think that it would, it would happen this way.

00:18:13.240 And again, the American people know that what is happening in New York is not, uh, justice.

00:18:19.580 This judge is not dispensing justice from the bench.

00:18:22.840 He's using his courtroom for politics and it's disgusting.

00:18:26.100 It is disgusting and it is so over the top.

00:18:30.000 It is so the hype, the hyperbolic, uh, partisanship of the Marxist Dems in New York.

00:18:38.880 Uh, as you said, uh, it's the, it's the feeding ground, uh, for all of this, uh, because it is

00:18:45.080 so corrupt politically.

00:18:46.300 It is so corrupt in so many ways.

00:18:48.840 That is Manhattan, uh, New York, uh, go to Fulton County, uh, Georgia.

00:18:54.800 I mean, it's rancid with corruption, uh, at some point.

00:18:59.600 And then we, I don't want to let the, uh, federal judiciary off here.

00:19:04.180 I mean, DC is appalling.

00:19:07.280 It could be, this is not the, the, the nation's capital.

00:19:11.960 Uh, this could not be the nation's capital of the greatest constitutional republic in

00:19:16.860 history.

00:19:17.460 Uh, it is a cesspool of corruption and political, uh, an attempt at political assassination.

00:19:28.100 Yeah, Lou, that's exactly what's going on.

00:19:30.200 And let's talk about why Washington DC is like this.

00:19:33.780 Washington DC was supposed to be a town where people came from across America for a small

00:19:39.880 amount of times to be able to represent the people in those, in those various states,

00:19:44.960 um, you know, from, from Florida to New York, uh, to, to Wisconsin.

00:19:50.980 And that's what DC was supposed to be.

00:19:53.500 But instead this permanent bureaucracy developed and this permanent bureaucracy that makes up

00:19:58.240 95% plus of the federal workforce is now what controls Washington DC.

00:20:04.720 And when Donald Trump became the first president in ages to push back on the power of the bureaucrats,

00:20:11.740 they decided they were going to have their, their revenge on him.

00:20:15.300 And so when you have these cases that are brought by DC prosecutors like Jack Smith in a DC courtroom

00:20:22.740 with a, with a DC judge who has made it very clear how much she hates Donald Trump, um,

00:20:29.340 then you, you know, what the result is going to be.

00:20:32.940 There's no doubt about what the result is going to be.

00:20:36.120 And that these people will do everything they possibly can to use, again, use their judicial

00:20:41.640 power to take down Donald Trump.

00:20:44.440 And that's why we need serious reforms in our judicial system in order to make sure this

00:20:48.340 can never happen again.

00:20:49.780 It cannot be Washington DC bureaucrats and people that come up in that bureaucracy, including

00:20:55.080 Tonya Chutkin, who decide they're going to dictate the law to the American people.

00:21:01.240 It has to be, uh, back to our constitutional, uh, roots where America decides what Washington

00:21:07.800 DC is going to do.

00:21:08.960 It's not Washington DC deciding what America is going to do.

00:21:12.200 Tonya Chutkin, the federal judge, uh, in the Trump case, uh, is, as it seems to me backed

00:21:19.180 off a bit because the Supreme court is going to be ruling the appellate court, uh, uh, the

00:21:24.800 appellate courts are going to be ruling.

00:21:27.020 And, and while I'm not hopeful, I'm not optimistic.

00:21:31.000 I do reserve the possibility that, uh, that conscience could strike, uh, on any one of those,

00:21:38.540 uh, courts.

00:21:39.780 Uh, I don't know what the odds of that are, but definitely, uh, we're it's, uh, there is

00:21:46.140 a reason to at least accept the, that there is a probability, a possibility, uh, that's

00:21:51.940 to somehow there will be a restoration of ethics.

00:21:55.660 And, uh, we're talking with Jesse Banal, uh, the president's attorney, and we're going

00:22:00.660 to be right back after these words.

00:22:02.740 We're going to find out what's it going to take to straighten out this legal system because

00:22:07.080 it's no small, small measure, uh, required.

00:22:11.000 We'll be right back.

00:22:12.140 Stay with us.

00:22:12.700 Lou Dobbs here.

00:22:15.800 I'm delighted to let you all know that the program Lou Dobbs tonight has returned to the

00:22:20.980 air.

00:22:22.040 That's right.

00:22:23.060 Lou Dobbs tonight is back.

00:22:25.260 We're live each and every weeknight at 7 PM Eastern and 6 PM Central on rumble.com slash

00:22:33.940 Lou Dobbs.

00:22:34.840 That's rumble.com slash Lou Dobbs.

00:22:38.060 I hope you'll be joining us for Lou Dobbs tonight as our fight to save this country

00:22:43.400 has only begun.

00:22:50.720 We're back.

00:22:51.660 We're talking with Jesse Banal and Jesse, uh, the president's attorney.

00:22:55.460 And I want to just, there's one thing that just really just makes me furious because as

00:23:00.300 you might guess, I'm kind of interested in the public's right to know I'm interested in

00:23:03.840 free speech mightily, uh, and for this judge, uh, merchant to apply a gag order here, uh,

00:23:11.360 is sweeping particularly as, uh, he did.

00:23:13.820 Uh, why do these, uh, why do these creeps, uh, think that they have to have a gag order?

00:23:21.020 Uh, what makes them think that they, they're so above the rest of us that they need special

00:23:27.500 protection from a former president of the United States, the, uh, presumptive nominee of

00:23:33.500 the, uh, of the Republican party for president, uh, the leading candidate for president, who,

00:23:40.280 who do they think they are?

00:23:42.160 Who do they think they are?

00:23:43.680 That's exactly right.

00:23:44.760 Because the founders looked at these gag orders specifically when they drafted the

00:23:49.620 first amendment, this is one of the things the founders were particularly concerned about

00:23:53.120 is something called prior restraints on speech and injunction against you being able to say

00:23:58.240 what's on your mind, especially when it came to matters of policy and politics.

00:24:02.460 And that's why they gave us the first amendment is to protect us against that.

00:24:06.300 And the Supreme court has recognized that before the Supreme court has even said that the Washington

00:24:09.820 post, the New York times couldn't be prohibited by the government from, from publishing classified

00:24:15.880 information during a war because it would be a prior restraint on speech.

00:24:21.880 But there are a lot of these judges that believe that there's a Trump exception to the rule of law.

00:24:27.600 There's a Trump exception to the constitution and what they know and why this is so important

00:24:31.880 to them is because they, uh, they know that Donald Trump has been calling them out, calling

00:24:38.620 out their hypocrisy, calling out their partisan bias, and they want to do everything they can to put a

00:24:43.720 muzzle on him because they know that the American people are sick of this and they want to try to

00:24:49.160 stop this information from getting to the American people. And that's, you know, there's a famous quote

00:24:54.380 that, you know, violations of freedom of speech are, are a double sin because it affects not only the

00:24:59.840 rights of the speaker, it is, it affects the rights of the listener. It affects the rights of people to

00:25:05.040 get information. And that's why it's so, these gag orders are so incredibly dangerous, Liv.

00:25:09.840 Well, for example, right now, uh, I'm, uh, we've got, uh, Elon Musk parading around talking about

00:25:17.720 freedom of speech. Uh, it's a joke. Uh, what he is running is a, uh, operation in that platform now

00:25:24.980 that is starting to approach levels of prior restraint, uh, that are unimaginable, uh, until we saw the

00:25:33.560 people, you know, uh, Twitter suddenly align itself with the FBI, that apartment of justice and the

00:25:39.520 intelligence agencies. And I don't know whether or not Elon Musk has done, gone that far, but I can

00:25:45.020 tell you this, he is shadow banning me and he's shadow banning me because I have a particular point

00:25:50.240 of view that is, uh, well, I, a little different than his, for example, he wants, he wanted, uh,

00:25:56.320 TikTok, uh, to be as a matter of free speech, to be given free reign in the United States.

00:26:02.820 This is a foreign owned company. And by the way, it has responsibilities to the CCP, uh, to the PLA

00:26:11.720 and is, is the last I heard, uh, Xi Jinping still wanted to go to war with the United States somewhere

00:26:18.380 between 2025 and 2027. And he said it publicly. I mean, this is madness that we're watching.

00:26:25.180 It is, Lou. And, and, uh, as we see more and more attacks on freedom of speech right now, and,

00:26:31.400 and that includes, uh, freedom of speech. When you have these, these social media, uh, organizations

00:26:38.120 that have a, a near monopoly on the ability to get your message out and they're able to take

00:26:44.060 either directly shutting people out or like you, like you're saying, shadow banning. This is something

00:26:48.980 that I think is very, very concerning and something that we really need to push back on

00:26:53.580 as Americans because, uh, and, and I mean, luckily there's, uh, platforms out there like truth

00:26:59.740 social, which I think are, are excellent, uh, that, uh, that don't do that. And so one of the

00:27:06.120 things we can do as, as Americans right now, I think is to, uh, spend more time on, on some of those

00:27:11.700 platforms, uh, as well, but it's, there's gotta be accountability for anybody that tries to, to shut

00:27:17.080 up Americans, especially when you're doing it to the benefit of a foreign power. 0.51

00:27:21.200 Without question. And as we, as we look at the, the situation that we've now have in this country,

00:27:27.800 you talked about the pervasive and I did as well, the pervasive corrupt corruption of our judicial

00:27:33.360 system, our legal profession, the, the American banker associate American banker, the American

00:27:39.380 bar association, uh, will not, not step up, but where they do step up, they mean to destroy free

00:27:47.580 speech and the right to free expression and representation of anyone. I mean, I've never seen,

00:27:53.560 I've actually experienced this, uh, major big law as they're called major firms, the most prestigious

00:28:01.020 firms in the country, uh, absolutely carrying out a ban against anyone that was pro-Trump because

00:28:08.180 that's not good for their, uh, their, their corporate and globalist clientele. Uh, it's,

00:28:14.280 it is remarkable to me the degree to which we have descended in terms of, uh, of legal rights.

00:28:22.040 Yeah, that's exactly right. And this lack of access, access to justice, if you are a Trump

00:28:28.580 supporting American is something that's very, very dangerous. It's something that when, when lawyers

00:28:33.400 in this country have, uh, stopped being willing to represent people because of their political

00:28:38.700 beliefs, it's something that is extremely dangerous. Now it's something that I quite frankly

00:28:43.920 have taken advantage of because the fact that these big law firms are refusing to represent good

00:28:48.840 Americans, you know, made it so I could, I could go out and get some of the best legal talent, uh,

00:28:53.300 in the world. And, and we've been able to, uh, go and represent some people, um, and get some great

00:28:59.400 results. But the fact is we can't do it all on our own and we need to get back to, uh, you know,

00:29:04.720 something along the lines of, of what happens in the UK. And it's sad to say that the UK is better than

00:29:10.220 than we are, but they have something called the cab. I know. Right. Um, they have speaking of a place

00:29:17.120 where there's no free speech, right? Right. Um, but on this, on legal access, they're better

00:29:22.640 because they have something called the cab rank rule and they don't actually turn people away,

00:29:27.440 uh, because of, for instance, their political positions. They believe everyone is entitled

00:29:32.140 to legal representation. And that's critically important, uh, for our,

00:29:36.220 for our constitutional Republic to flourish. And I, I, you know, I'm somewhat older than you,

00:29:42.760 uh, but I think even as, uh, as young as you are, you will recall the days in which the, uh,

00:29:49.940 the progressive left, as they call them, that they're, they're Marxists now. Yeah. They,

00:29:55.100 they prided themselves on their tolerance. They call for greater tolerance in our society and they have

00:30:01.300 become, uh, the scorched earth party. Uh, and they mean to devastate anyone who dares to speak up,

00:30:08.460 uh, with values and views different than their own. And that is a sad, sad place. Uh, I have to tell

00:30:14.420 you, Jesse, we're delighted that you're representing the president. Uh, we wish you a continued great

00:30:20.040 success as you do so and, uh, and beyond and, uh, hope you'll come back here soon to talk. Appreciate it.

00:30:26.780 I can't wait to join you again, Lou. Thank you. Be sure to join us here tomorrow for the great
