00:01:14.940 Hello, everybody. I'm Lou Dobbs. Welcome to the Great America Saturday Show. Great to have

00:01:22.720 you with us. As each day and each hour passes, it seems another Marxist dem, another Marxist-run

00:01:28.880 media outlet turns on the puppet President Biden, and soon his masters will as well. This week,

00:01:36.380 The Atlantic, a Marxist-left publication, if ever there was one, failing miserably now,

00:01:41.860 says the Marxist dems need to replace Biden and they need to do it now. They say Biden is putting

00:01:48.180 his self-regard ahead of the good of the country. Who knew? These people are just waking up to what

00:01:53.640 has been his life's reality. And special counsel Robert Herr let Joe Biden off the hook for stealing

00:02:01.000 classified documents as vice president. He's testifying publicly on March 12th about his

00:02:06.660 investigation into Biden's theft of those documents. New leaks from Herr's investigation

00:02:12.640 revealed Biden lied about his interview with Herr regarding timelines as well as the death

00:02:18.900 of Biden's son, Beau. Our first guest today is Steve Bannon. He's the host of Bannon's War Room.

00:02:25.440 And Steve, it is great to have you with us. Thanks for joining us. And let's start with

00:02:29.300 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. There are quakes rolling through the nation's capital right now.

00:02:35.520 How do you see this thing unfolding from here? Well, if you if you take Putin's interview with

00:02:41.320 Tucker, you look at President Trump's performance at Mar-a-Lago and then at Nevada, and then you see

00:02:48.240 the debacle of this thrown together press conference to try to get ahead of this firestorm

00:02:53.040 by Biden. And you read her's report, you know, we have a constitutional crisis. Number one,

00:02:59.060 look at Putin and look at and look, you don't have to agree with what Putin said, but look at the way

00:03:02.500 he handles himself in this depth of knowledge on topics, including the destruction of the American

00:03:07.280 dollar, which is good as any. I don't agree with it totally, but as good as any Wall Street hedge

00:03:12.200 fund guy. You look at President Trump yesterday, as you know, probably the best day we've had in the

00:03:16.640 MAGA movement combined since President Trump left the White House with Biden. It's a level of

00:03:23.520 seriousness. And look, let's let's just cut to the chase. Her gave us an indictment of Joe Biden

00:03:28.780 and not just for the for the classified documents, which is incredibly disturbing and quite profound

00:03:36.360 because he knew Garland would never approve a actual formal indictment. He gave us the indictment

00:03:41.560 document. But I think what has to happen now, and I think this has to happen immediately,

00:03:46.100 three things. Number one, I believe Kamala Harris at her constitutional role as an officer needs to 0.99

00:03:53.600 which is her constitutional duty needs to call the cabinet together in the cabinet room with Joe 1.00

00:04:00.020 Biden not there. And she needs to go around the table and see where people stand, not taking the

00:04:04.860 formal vote that's required, but she needs where people stand with the 25th Amendment and Biden and

00:04:10.220 their personal experiences, et cetera. But she very quickly, I think, needs to start the process,

00:04:15.360 the formal process of having the cabinet address this as it's laid out in the Constitution.

00:04:21.000 Number two, I think Comer and Jordan on Monday, and I think they ought to call the House back over

00:04:25.660 the weekend. Johnson should. On Monday, there should be a formal hearing and Robert Hur should be before

00:04:32.000 the nation to walk through in depth over a couple of days exactly what his investigation found in

00:04:37.660 detail. And the ghostwriter should be there too to see what he deleted a number of tapes. We ought to

00:04:46.100 get to the bottom of all that. Justice Department officials ought to be called. We ought to know

00:04:49.300 what's not in the report, what's been redacted. We ought to call the intelligence community, find out

00:04:54.200 about this. This should be a week's hearing with Comer and Jordan to get to the bottom of this in front of

00:04:58.820 the American people, nothing behind closed doors. Number three, I believe the impeachment committee right

00:05:03.660 now that's working under Comer should begin actual or formal process over and above what they're doing

00:05:09.320 with Hunter Biden to also begin the process of impeachment about both the classified documents

00:05:13.820 and his ability to perform as the president, as the commander in chief. Look,

00:05:20.520 we now know they've covered up a huge crisis right before Christmas where Austin was gone for two or

00:05:25.280 three days and nobody knew about it. And obviously, Joe Biden's not mentally or physically up to the task.

00:05:30.780 We have a crisis right now. And this is beyond the Democratic Party and just politics of what's

00:05:35.240 going to happen in this election. We're in a couple, we're in a shooting war in several locations.

00:05:40.320 We clearly have Putin and Xi and others, including the Mullahs, who would go through the escalation 0.97

00:05:46.980 process of using tactical nuclear weapons and their theory of conflict. I mean, this is serious.

00:05:51.920 This is beyond politics. It's beyond partisanship. It's beyond President Trump. And in 2024,

00:05:56.760 we have a serious problem. And here's the most serious of all. I guarantee you, as sure as the

00:06:03.920 turning of the earth, when you do official investigation, either at the cabinet level

00:06:09.120 with Comer and Jordan in the House or an impeachment committee, you're going to find out

00:06:13.800 a lot of documentation and knowledge that people have known about this for years. They have known

00:06:20.500 about this for years and they have covered it up for pure partisan politics to keep Trump out of the

00:06:25.000 White House. We have a crisis on our hand, Lou, as big as any has hit this nation in its history.

00:06:30.640 I agree with you. And as we look at what is likely to unfold, there's I think what you've

00:06:38.460 described is precisely the way the Republicans will likely follow. I hope that they do follow

00:06:44.040 the Bannon sequence there.

00:06:47.200 Lou, I don't agree. I get big to differ. I think that's what should happen. I mean,

00:06:52.960 I haven't seen any. There's individual tough members. You have people, quite frankly,

00:06:58.600 MTG and a few on the margin that try to drive action. But the central corpus and quite frankly,

00:07:04.020 even under Speaker Johnson, it kind of came in to take action. Do I believe that Comer and Jordan

00:07:09.680 will be there on Monday to have hearings all week and really start subpoenaing people and get tough?

00:07:14.260 I don't feel it. If the people that follow your show and follow War Room and Charlie Kirk,

00:07:20.800 if we put the bayonets to the back, we might get there, but it'll take bayonets to the back. I mean,

00:07:26.020 look, Lou, this her brought this to our attention. But, you know, everybody's that this is an open

00:07:30.860 secret in Washington, D.C. This is an open. The two biggest open secrets are how many billions of

00:07:35.780 dollars Zelensky and those old darks have stolen out of the money we've sent to Ukraine. It's an open 1.00

00:07:39.560 secret. The other open secret is that Biden has got the beginnings of dementia. And so now the only

00:07:44.940 thing that's happened is that her put it up in your face in an official government document,

00:07:50.080 by the way, an official government document that can't be taken back. He's put it up into the

00:07:54.820 nation's face. And he's essentially saying Garland won't let me deal with it. So the country's got to

00:08:00.460 deal with it. But no, I got to tell you, Lou, I don't feel comfortable at all that we have

00:08:04.580 Republicans that have the backbone to actually take this where it has to go.

00:08:09.320 Yeah. Well, you know, I have to I have to say, Steve, I don't know that I've ever had a discussion

00:08:18.100 with you in which you began by arguing with yourself. But the reality is that is what they

00:08:24.800 should do. And I want to talk about what I think they should do. And now we can have a real argument

00:08:30.860 right after these words. Steve Bannon and I, well, we will put our elbows on the table and we're going

00:08:38.220 to arm wrestle here real quick. We're coming right back. Stay with us.

00:08:43.660 Folks, you know, I beg everyone to get ready for the next crisis. And when it comes, our lives will

00:08:49.180 likely change overnight, whether it's natural disaster, war or another disease. We have to be

00:08:55.420 ready as we can be. We saw what happened in 2020 when we found ourselves dependent on global supply

00:09:01.100 chains. We're still dependent on China and other countries for more than 90 percent of all our

00:09:06.040 pharmaceuticals with clusters of respiratory illnesses popping up around the world. And here

00:09:11.240 we need to be prepared. And now is the time to make certain you have what your family needs

00:09:17.200 when the next crisis hits. Our good friends, Dr. Peter McCullough and Dr. Drew Penske over at the

00:09:22.800 Wellness Company have put together just what you and I need with the Wellness Company's medical emergency

00:09:27.880 kit. And now the Wellness Company's medical kit provides a solution critical to you and your loved

00:10:16.200 All right. We're back with Steve Bannon and we're talking about what should unfold here over the course of the perhaps of 48 to 72 hours if we're going to really compress the events. But Steve's got his view and I have mine. And mine is this. It'll be a defensive play by the Democrats. And I think they have no choice whatsoever, Steve, to to actually move the 25th Amendment and to and for Kamala Harris to

00:10:46.180 ascend to ascend to the presidency. And from that flows a lot of things. We begin with the the committees, the investigating committees in Congress. They are going to have to be unleashed. The Justice Department is going to go to maximum defense because they have much to hide. Robert Herr subpoenaed or not will not comply.

00:11:07.600 And we're going to see the national media, I think, in reflex to all of this begin. And I say just begin to actually probe the the the the administration, the regime, these Marxist Dems that have had full throttle and the wheel for the past three years to destroy the nation.

00:11:32.300 And then they've done an extraordinary job of it. I think that right now we are looking at a the epicenter is D.C.

00:11:41.140 and we're watching an extraordinary seismic convulsion in this country that I don't think anyone, any one of us can predict with accuracy or confidence.

00:11:51.900 But I do believe this is without a without question, a perturbation in the universe.

00:11:58.080 The the body politic, everyone now is gathering around the campfire to look at exactly what the sky is suggesting.

00:12:08.580 And that is a truly, truly historic moment where history will change as a result of the Robert Herr report and the actions of this corrupt regime, Marxist Dem regime and the deep state that control the entire federal government.

00:12:27.660 And the American people will have a great awakening over the course of the next week in my in my view.

00:12:33.700 That's not a Pollyanna view. I really believe that is what is the only logical line of causation and response that can that we can imagine.

00:12:45.360 It is to me, it is to me, it's ineffable to think that her came forward and said, yes, he had top classified documents, but no, we're not going to prosecute that he has.

00:12:59.280 He's an elderly man with no memory, but we're not going to be worrying about the 25th.

00:13:05.280 I don't think I don't think it's an accident that her put that phrase in there, and I think it's entirely intentional, you know, a nice, nice old man with a really bad memory means he's disqualified from the presidency. 0.96

00:13:18.860 And it means, in my judgment, Kamala Harris has to move there within the next, I would say, 72 hours or we're a nation of fools. 0.98

00:13:26.280 Your thoughts. Wow. Lou Dobbs. 0.99

00:13:30.820 I'm I'm actually my breath is taken away.

00:13:33.540 You believe that Kamala Harris will actually move to to convene the cabinet and and do the vote.

00:13:42.120 And if the majority they were to replace by by at least for some interim period with her as acting president until they'd had a full medical review, et cetera.

00:13:53.320 You think that will happen in 72 got if that happens, that will be one of the most important, you know,

00:14:01.040 events in American political and overall American history.

00:14:05.360 I would love to see that happen.

00:14:07.100 I think it needs to be. First off, I 100 percent agree with you that that is exactly what needs to happen for the country.

00:14:13.620 Let's leave aside the fact that we're big Trump supporters and detest Biden and everything like that just for the good of the kind.

00:14:18.880 I say that as a guy that, you know, served in the Navy for eight years, you know, four years of sea and sea duty and four years of the Pentagon.

00:14:27.260 I don't see that happening simply for the fact the Praetorian Guard of the media has taken such a hard line on this overnight.

00:14:38.660 And today I think we have a massive fight on this.

00:14:42.060 I do agree with you that I think the awakening of the American people and particularly low information voters are about to see something happen in Washington, D.C.

00:14:50.420 That's never happened in the history of this country. I would just I would hope Vice President Harris did that to her, you know, would do that for his constitutional duty. 0.72

00:14:59.880 I think that the raw politics of it, at least the way I look at the numbers, is the Democrats who want Michelle Obama and Newsom as a ticket understand they don't have any mechanism to do that.

00:15:11.860 Would love to see Biden gone. Can't figure out how to get there.

00:15:15.320 Even in a 25th Amendment or him resigning or stepping down, you're still locked with Kamala Harris.

00:15:22.120 And I don't see her. And she rates and polls significantly worse than Biden.

00:15:28.980 So you'll be looking at a 40 or 45 state blowout.

00:15:32.300 I just don't see the raw politics and the pressure on her to hold back.

00:15:36.640 She's certainly not going to leave as VP and she would certainly take the position as the president of the United States. 1.00

00:15:41.900 I just don't see the Democrats backing that. I could be wrong, but I think they will fight that tooth and nail and figure they got to like like the last scene in El Fid, right?

00:15:52.760 With Charlton Heston, they would they will they will they will they will strap Biden to the horse and take him out on the hustings.

00:16:00.620 Run him down the beach. I love it.

00:16:02.440 But it's it's that's a wonderful metaphor.

00:16:07.300 The reason I think that Kamala Harris ascends is because it's in the interest of both parties for her to do so.

00:16:12.840 There is no clear path to Michelle.

00:16:14.800 There is no clear path to Gavin Newsom, whomever, the Marxist dem cabal directing the the Marxist Democrat Party, whoever they prefer.

00:16:25.020 No matter what they have to go through Kamala Harris and they have to follow the 25th Amendment and they have to do so now, I think, with alacrity.

00:16:34.500 We're at we're at the knife's edge, as you said, of a constitutional crisis.

00:16:38.200 We're also at the knife's edge of a international conflict because the nostrils of every communist Marxist and enemy of this nation, whether it be Iran or China or Russia right now, they smell weakness and they smell fear in the fear.

00:16:58.440 They may misjudge and make a terrible, terrible mistake.

00:17:02.120 But that is the situation which I think we find ourselves and I don't know of another way for the Republicans to get more of what they really need than what is likely to result.

00:17:14.980 And that is Kamala Harris in the White House in charge with with Donald Trump surging, building momentum every day in every way. 0.95

00:17:26.380 And the outcome, I think, is foretold that I'm I think if we extrapolate that we get through this crisis, God willing and please, Lord, Donald Trump will be there to save the republic on November 5th.

00:17:44.800 I believe this. It could be a that pivotal inflection point that we all desperately crave for your thoughts.

00:17:52.400 Well, we're breaking some news here because I guess I guess your theory of the case is Biden, from what he's shown and what the report shows now has a less than zero chance of winning, which I do agree with that.

00:18:05.380 But you're saying that you believe Kamala Harris would actually be more competitive than Biden right now, of which I I'd have to think about that because I think she's uniquely disliked by everybody, including Democrats. 0.75

00:18:19.400 It's just being completely incompetent. These words, she can't communicate at all, which, you know, Lou, being a master communicator is the central issue for politicians to be able to take complex things and communicate. 1.00

00:18:32.040 And she'd be up against a guy that I think even his biggest haters admit is probably the best communicator we've had in politics in the 20th and 21st century.

00:18:45.540 If you know him and Ronald Reagan. So, I mean, Kamala Harris, I the catastrophe for the Democratic Party.

00:18:54.100 And this is the payback for what they did in 2020. This is the payback for Clyburn delivering the remember Biden had finished, I think.

00:19:02.580 Fifth in Iowa and fourth in New Hampshire, which is technically everybody in history has done has been gone, including Biden, when he ran twice before.

00:19:10.840 He magically won South Carolina with Clyburn and the payback was you had to put Kamala Harris on the ticket. 0.77

00:19:16.940 The karma is coming back to approach. I just don't see in any scenario Kamala Harris wouldn't lose 40 states because I think you'd have a tremendous amount of Democrats voting for Bobby Kennedy.

00:19:27.180 I think they vote for Cornell West. I think they vote for Jill Stein.

00:19:31.520 I mean, all the independent candidates, I think, would attract a tremendous amount of Democratic support.

00:19:36.060 Yeah, I obviously see it differently. I believe independents, minorities, African-Americans, Hispanics are all moving toward Donald Trump right now.

00:19:49.540 I think Kamala Harris would light their tails on fire to get to to the to their to their to their their voting place to to vote for Donald Trump. 1.00

00:20:00.980 But what I really, really, really think we need to that, that I agree with you.

00:20:06.960 I agree with you 100 percent. I think you're seeing essentially every demographic right now, I believe, except for suburban women with college degrees, which, you know, is a is a topic for another day.

00:20:19.600 But particularly white college, white women, white female college graduates, college graduates, which are apparently anti-Trump and anti-MAGA.

00:20:27.660 I agree with you every demographic. And I do agree with you, too. I think Kamala Harris only exacerbates that.

00:20:33.520 I think that they would run further away from the Democratic Party, knowing that Kamala Harris might potentially be commander in chief. 0.88

00:20:39.520 Coming up next, political commentator and legend, Alex Jones, the Alex Jones, we take up all that's going on in America. Stay with us. We'll be right back.

00:20:51.720 Lou Dobbs here. I'm delighted to let you all know that the program Lou Dobbs Tonight has returned to the air.

00:20:58.160 That's right. Lou Dobbs Tonight is back. We're live each and every weeknight at 7 p.m. Eastern and 6 p.m. Central on Rumble.com slash Lou Dobbs.

00:21:11.760 That's Rumble.com slash Lou Dobbs. I hope you'll be joining us for Lou Dobbs Tonight as our fight to save this country has only begun.

00:21:28.160 Thanks for staying with us through the quick break. Joining us now, as promised, the Alex Jones. Alex, great to have you with us.

00:21:35.040 It's been a long time since we talked, but delighted to have you here with us. What in the world is going on in this country right now?

00:21:43.180 Well, I'm glad you raised that up front because you sent me a few questions, but you didn't add that one.

00:21:48.680 And that's what I was going to say. What is it like when you had the top show in the English speaking world?

00:21:54.480 We're not, you know, trying to be first place here, but a bigger show than Tucker had on Fox.

00:22:00.100 When you were on CNN reaching 10 million people a day, conservatively predicting 20 years ago, 18 years ago, everything that's happened.

00:22:11.580 So our job is much easier as patriots that are anti-globalist.

00:22:15.220 I mean, you pioneered on mainstream media, the first person to ever break all this.

00:22:19.940 So I was going to ask you when you asked me questions, what is it like now to now be here when Elon Musk and Joe Rogan and Tucker Carlson all sound just like you did 20 something years ago?

00:22:31.380 Well, it sounds like music to me because I didn't hear any like voices like mine.

00:22:38.360 Well, I would say I will reserve that. You were amazing throughout your career.

00:22:43.880 You started as a skeptic of all that is establishment.

00:22:48.600 And, you know, my hands off to you.

00:22:50.900 I mean, dear.

00:22:52.040 But I was out in the wilderness. I mean, I was out in the wilderness.

00:22:54.700 I was a bush leaguer when I was doing it.

00:22:57.080 You charged right on and it showed that freedom is popular.

00:23:00.640 You have the number one show, you know, as I said, covering freedom, just like all the top shows now are populist, anti-globalist.

00:23:09.060 So I think that's a very positive thing about the awakening that we've reached.

00:23:13.240 I've been a populist all along.

00:23:14.980 I've always said, you know, populist.

00:23:17.840 They say it like it's a dirty word.

00:23:19.660 In my in my view, it means people.

00:23:21.600 And if you're not for the for the people of this country, who the hell are you for?

00:23:25.820 So if you don't call yourself a populist, I want you to say exactly what you are, what you do, because you sound like an enemy of this great republic.

00:23:35.140 And I've and I felt that way from the outset, as you suggest.

00:23:38.200 And I know this, that there are enough voices.

00:23:41.500 You were talking about Tucker and everyone out there.

00:23:45.260 I am so delighted to have people with strong and bright principled voices out talking about what matters to this country.

00:23:54.540 It's a joy to me to to watch it, to still be part of it.

00:23:58.920 I'm thrilled to be still in the arena fighting.

00:24:01.720 You know, I may not land as many punches, but I sure do.

00:24:05.100 Well, I guess I land a few, but it's harder to take them.

00:24:07.940 I'll put it that way.

00:24:11.420 Go ahead, Alex.

00:24:12.660 Go ahead.

00:24:13.100 No, I just know that I'm coming on with you.

00:24:14.680 But I want to talk about you, because when I look at who in the last 30, 40 years has had the biggest effect against this anti-American agenda,

00:24:22.720 it's Ron Paul, it's Lou Dobbs, and then kind of we all came later.

00:24:26.960 And I'm going to take it away from Tucker.

00:24:27.880 I'm friends with Tucker.

00:24:28.900 Love Tucker.

00:24:29.560 He's amazing.

00:24:30.500 Hopefully he'll have you on his show soon.

00:24:32.700 He should.

00:24:33.580 But I just look back to the people that were telling me about this first.

00:24:38.440 You know, my grandfathers, both my mother's dad and my father's dad, they weren't on air.

00:24:43.120 But they were both aware of this because they were, you know, learned, educated men.

00:24:48.140 So I just realized that it's like the rock in the pond, so we can see the big waves now out from the edge of it.

00:24:55.320 But I'm just saying Lou Dobbs was one of the original big rocks thrown in the pond.

00:24:59.380 So, you know, I don't care about Hollywood people.

00:25:02.240 I don't care about sports people, none of that.

00:25:03.860 But I do get a little bit giddy talking to you because I'm smart enough to look back and say, if there wasn't Lou Dobbs for all those years on air, you know, the only person in mainstream media saying it, we would be in a lot of trouble today.

00:25:18.240 And we're still in a lot of trouble.

00:25:19.380 We're in a lot better position thanks to you.

00:25:21.800 So I know it's a little bit groveling here, but I'm not.

00:25:26.240 We need to recognize the people that were, you know, trailblazers.

00:25:30.040 And you're a maverick, brother.

00:25:31.060 Well, thank you.

00:25:32.580 And I take that as high praise and coming from you.

00:25:35.500 You know, you were talking about being out in the bush.

00:25:39.300 You were only in the bush because people were scared to death of you in that establishment.

00:25:44.460 And they were putting you back as far as they could, as long as they could.

00:25:47.880 And you broke through.

00:25:48.980 And hallelujah, brother.

00:25:50.860 And it's like you say, it's a great gathering, these voices now, to hear them taking up the issues that matter instead of the pablum of the mainstream national corporate legacy, whatever you want to call it, Marxist media.

00:26:06.620 People are wising up to it in a hurry.

00:26:10.300 And it's wonderful to see.

00:26:12.300 And the question only now is, is it soon enough?

00:26:16.340 Because we're sitting here 10 months away from an election.

00:26:19.500 I truly believe it.

00:26:21.280 You know, a lot of people say it's existential.

00:26:23.100 It's all of this.

00:26:24.160 I think it's our last best chance, period.

00:26:26.880 And we got to move ahead.

00:26:29.100 I want to ask you, back in those days, if you could ever have imagined in your earliest days that this country would have a 2,000-mile-long border that they turned over to the Mexican drug cartels.

00:26:42.900 There's no middleman.

00:26:44.260 Biden just handed it over to the cartels.

00:26:47.180 And the Border Patrol is afraid to get near it.

00:26:49.820 The National Guard has to, on their side, edge up to it.

00:26:53.600 But no one is dealing with the reality that is the cartels controlling Mexico and our border.

00:27:02.180 It's total rogue warrior.

00:27:03.880 You know, back 20-something years ago when you were exposing it in the last decade on Fox Business and all that, it was a problem.

00:27:10.280 But not because I've been down there 50 times or more like you have.

00:27:13.840 Now it is road warrior bizarre.

00:27:16.880 You don't have to go looking for smugglers or kids being loaded in vans without their parents.

00:27:20.580 You go there for even 30 minutes and you are just, I don't know, I am dizzied or stunned by how insane it is.

00:27:29.780 And then I'm flying to the border and being groped to get there and groped to fly back. 0.99

00:27:35.120 And it just illustrates how asinine it is. 0.94

00:27:37.640 There's all this security at the airport. 0.97

00:27:38.980 But then the border is completely wide open and the Border Patrol, to their great irritation, has been turned into a facilitator of the crime.

00:27:49.280 And it just shows the social contract's broken.

00:27:52.180 We know the NGOs that you exposed on Fox Business that got you in so much trouble, it's finally in the news, are paying these Democrats we see on the news to house these illegals. 0.93

00:28:01.160 They're not doing it out of the goodness of their heart.

00:28:03.080 It's a new business for Democrat voters to bring in new Democrat voters, but also house them for $40,000, $50,000 a piece a year in their house.

00:28:13.820 So this is a business that's cloward and pivoted that will collapse the country.

00:28:18.800 And that's exactly what it's designed to do.

00:28:20.760 So that's why I have a sickening feeling.

00:28:23.240 Even though I'm optimistic and see a big awakening, I can still, like you said, tell it's crunch time.

00:28:28.320 You can cut the danger with a knife and really feel that America is at the crossroads right now.

00:28:35.940 This is the most important election in modern history, probably the most important election in world history at this current point.

00:28:42.600 Because, as you know, elections are only a few hundred years old in the modern world.

00:28:45.740 I guess Greece had a few little tests with it or something in ancient times, but it is truly amazing that we're at this point in history.

00:28:55.940 Yeah, it is amazing.

00:28:57.400 And we're talking with the amazing Alex Jones.

00:29:00.300 We're going to take just a quick break.

00:29:02.460 We're going to be right back.

00:29:03.820 We're talking with Alex Jones about the things that matter and matters most.

00:29:07.980 Of course, this country, the United States of America.

00:29:11.180 You don't hear people say United States of America a lot, do you?

00:29:14.040 You don't even hear them talk about the United States anymore.

00:29:17.360 They'll sort of whisper America, but they won't. 0.74

00:29:21.720 That was my Biden impression, by the way, Alex.

00:29:23.780 We'll be right back with the great Alex Jones.

00:29:29.440 Folks, you know I beg everyone to get ready for the next crisis.

00:29:33.280 And when it comes, our lives will likely change overnight, whether it's natural disaster, war or another disease.

00:29:40.560 We have to be ready as we can be.

00:29:42.440 We saw what happened in 2020 when we found ourselves dependent on global supply chains.

00:29:47.660 We're still dependent on China and other countries for more than 90% of all our pharmaceuticals.

00:29:53.080 With clusters of respiratory illnesses popping up around the world and here, we need to be prepared.

00:29:59.160 And now is the time to make certain you have what your family needs when the next crisis hits.

00:30:04.800 Our good friends, Dr. Peter McCullough and Dr. Drew Penske over at the Wellness Company have put together just what you and I need with the Wellness Company's medical emergency kit.

00:31:01.060 Be ready tomorrow.

00:31:04.800 We're back with Alex Jones.

00:31:06.480 And, Alex, I just want to turn to a reality that is the national capital, the nation's capital, the swamp, the open sewer, whatever people want to describe it.

00:31:17.580 The truth is it's a land of coercion and blackmail and absolute raw political force.

00:31:24.740 An NSA whistleblower who's a guest on the show a great deal, a friend, he said point blank to me the first time I talked to him.

00:31:33.160 That he knew there was a problem when the NSA was spying on Barack Obama in 2004.

00:31:42.680 He knew there was a problem when Supreme Court justices were being surveilled by the NSA.

00:31:50.480 And he became a whistleblower, and to his great cost and to his great credit, he's a great patriot.

00:31:57.960 We, right now, are facing total surveillance.

00:32:01.660 We are facing a total loss of constitutional rights because the American people are taking it.

00:32:07.460 And how much more can we take, Alex?

00:32:11.500 Well, you're absolutely right.

00:32:12.520 I mean, look at Tucker three years ago.

00:32:14.460 He gets a call from the NSA, and you're being spied on.

00:32:18.260 He talks about it.

00:32:19.520 They don't deny it.

00:32:20.280 A month later, the Washington Post goes, yeah, we've got your private messages, and we've got transcripts to your phone calls.

00:32:25.940 That is a huge felony against a journalist, and Nixon was removed from office for far less.

00:32:33.620 And so there's this emboldened arrogance to all of it, and I don't like Obama, but he shouldn't have been spied on by the NSA.

00:32:42.400 And then we have Trump we know as candidate Trump, and then presidential elected Trump, and then I guess what's the right term, nominee Trump, and then he was the president.

00:32:56.980 But the point is, the entire time, they were spying on him, trying to find something, and they didn't find anything.

00:33:06.080 When he was candidate, president-elect, or president, they had the two fake impeachments and the Russia game.

00:33:11.180 I mean, I remember watching congressional hearings six years ago, and they're just flat out, Alice Jones is a Russian agent.

00:33:18.140 Ever been to Russia, not involved with Russia, know nothing about Russia when it comes to being there.

00:33:22.060 But they're just saying, I'm a Russian agent, all of Trump's supporters are Russian agents, because they're the globalists that are selling out the country.

00:33:30.140 And so they need to project onto us that we're the unfaithful ones.

00:33:34.480 And so, yeah, the general public knows it's not true, but they use that designation to spy on us, and it's totally illegal.

00:33:43.220 And so, yeah, we're kind of already inside the tyranny.

00:33:47.220 The question is, how high are they going to turn it up?

00:33:51.320 Right.

00:33:51.540 You're right.

00:33:52.360 And just where do they stop if they stop at all?

00:33:56.080 We are right now, and the national mainstream media will not acknowledge that these Marxists who control the Democrat Party, the Marxist Dems, who are the masters of this puppet President Biden, they control the entire federal government.

00:34:13.360 This is no joke anymore.

00:34:15.260 This is not a party that's interested in politics.

00:34:17.700 This is a party that's interested in dominion, and they mean to possess power in perpetuity.

00:34:25.360 And meanwhile, we have a fight over the national, you know, the Republican National Committee.

00:34:32.080 We're having a fight over electors and the stuff that's at the margin, when the reality is that government of ours is in the hands of a foreign power. 0.86

00:34:41.240 That foreign power, I don't mean in terms of geography.

00:34:44.960 I mean in terms of foreign in the sense that it is alien to everything this country stands for. 1.00

00:34:50.340 The people who are the Marxist Dems who control that are aliens unto themselves.

00:34:56.940 And to the rest of this country, we are looking at a desperate inflection point in our history, and it's whether or not we have the guts to stand up to the conflict that is surely coming.

00:35:10.260 Will it be open conflict?

00:35:12.120 I don't know.

00:35:12.940 But it will be conflict, and there will be pain, and there will be loss, and there will be sacrifice, and there's no way around it.

00:35:21.760 And people have to steel themselves to that, and I don't know if the American people have that in their spine right now.

00:35:28.520 Well, that's right, Lou.

00:35:30.720 And you always say a perverse.

00:35:32.000 I learned so much from you.

00:35:33.500 We think of Russia or China, and there's certainly adversaries, and China's really out of control and evil and hugely wedded the Democratic Party and people like Mitch McConnell on the Republican side.

00:35:42.380 So, you know, it's a huge real threat.

00:35:43.740 But the globalists, the leftists, the Marxists, they really hate America.

00:35:49.100 Even when they run it, they still see it because of its Christian background and because it did oppose the Soviet Union and things as the enemy.

00:35:56.740 And they are the main threat, and they are like a foreign government. 1.00

00:36:00.960 They are a fifth column.

00:36:03.840 They really are an alien group to our country. 1.00

00:36:06.660 BlackRock and the big banks and the money and the Hollywood and the whole woke thing is just a corporate cult with all these minions literally working against the country.

00:36:19.540 And as big a threat as China is, I'd say it's 20% of the threat, and Russia is 10% of the threat. 0.95

00:36:24.920 But then I'd say 30% of the threat is our own domestic enemies that have opened us up to Islamic invasion and to criminal invasion, that have run our dollar down, that are saying they're going to put mentally ill people in charge, flying airplanes. 0.77

00:36:39.980 I mean, they are admittedly trying to bring down the old structure to get control of it.

00:36:47.340 I mentioned Cloward and Piven.

00:36:48.360 This is on steroids.

00:36:49.900 What's crazy is they're in the house that they're undermining.

00:36:53.380 They're going to be destroyed by it.

00:36:55.780 So they're so ideological. 1.00

00:36:57.760 They have such a sick ideology that they really are mentally ill. 1.00

00:37:02.180 And I don't think they think two, three, four steps ahead. 1.00

00:37:05.600 And I agree with you.

00:37:06.580 I don't know because there's a big awakening happening.

00:37:09.860 The average conservative or populist or Christian now knows, wait, we're in trouble.

00:37:13.240 But I still don't think they knew what you knew 20 years ago or I knew 20 years ago of just how diabolical this is.

00:37:21.000 And I just don't know if even our best people realize that we're two minutes to midnight and that this is the crisis, not just of America, but civilization.

00:37:29.800 Because if the globalists get full control and they can eradicate the idea of American freedom, then all we have is Klaus Schwab and Bill Gates's ideology of scientific tyranny.

00:37:39.760 And so that's why they're at war with us, because even though it's the source of their power, the freedom we generated, the productivity, still it's existential to them because they want to get rid of any ember of freedom that they believe could reignite later and displace them.

00:37:56.720 Yeah, you're absolutely right.

00:38:00.600 And if you look at it in terms of economics, we're looking at a country in which large corporations, the tech industry itself, massive capital valuations, three trillion.

00:38:14.280 Again, if you're in video, you get to go by Amazon, Apple.

00:38:20.940 We're talking trillions of dollars in three.

00:38:23.300 You're talking almost ten trillion dollars in three companies.

00:38:27.160 That's unheard of.

00:38:28.520 The idea that this country can somehow survive without being stepped on by these elephants, we are the we are the dominions.

00:38:39.720 We are the de minimis fragments floating in space, and they are the all powerful.

00:38:45.900 And we have to find some way in which to bring to heel the idea that this Marxist government of ours is going to be responsive to the to the people, to the consent of the government.

00:38:58.160 I remember you doing business news whenever it was, 2000 or whatever, and you were covering the breakup of Microsoft.

00:39:06.300 And it was a monopoly and it was corrupt and deserved it.

00:39:08.320 I look at Bill Gates's corruption, not as a business reporter, but as a layperson, it's nothing compared to the three big elephants that you just mentioned, Apple and Facebook and, you know, Amazon and Google.

00:39:20.360 There's four elephants.

00:39:21.440 And Microsoft.

00:39:22.200 I mean, and Microsoft now is back.

00:39:24.920 I mean, is it the answer?

00:39:26.100 Trust busting.

00:39:26.780 But there's no energy for that now.

00:39:29.360 Thanks to Alex Jones, the Alex Jones.
