00:01:14.940 Hello, everybody. I'm Lou Dobbs and welcome to the Great America Sunday Show. It's great to have

00:01:22.960 you with us. Thanks for joining us. Joe Biden has finally launched retaliatory attacks against the

00:01:29.020 Iranian-backed militia groups of terrorists in Syria and Iraq. National Security Council spokesman

00:01:36.420 John Kirby said U.S. warplanes struck more than 85 targets at seven facilities utilized by Iran's

00:01:43.960 Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and the militant groups, the terrorist groups that they sponsor.

00:01:50.680 Three of those facilities in Iraq. Four were located in Syria. In total, more than 40 people

00:01:57.200 were killed. No civilians. That's the latest report. And more bad news for Joe Biden, if that's possible.

00:02:03.780 61 percent of voters say Joe Biden doesn't deserve to be reelected. Those are the worst numbers,

00:02:10.780 according to Gallup, in 32 years. The American people's view on Congress isn't pretty either.

00:02:17.840 67 percent of Americans say their members of Congress don't deserve to be reelected.

00:02:23.100 And my guess is most of us happen to agree with both those polls. Our guest today is former White 0.84

00:02:28.980 House stenographer Mike McCormick. And Mike, it's good of you to be with us. You've got a new book out

00:02:34.300 and it's straightforward. The title is The Case to Impeach and Imprison Joe Biden. Mike,

00:02:40.720 you were the White House stenographer for 15 years, the stenographer for Vice President Biden

00:02:46.360 from 2011 to 2017. I'd call some of those the wonder years in terms of Biden's corruption and all that

00:02:54.200 he was up to. Mike, great to have you back with us. Thanks for joining us. Thanks, Lou.

00:02:59.020 Let's turn to, I mean, I have to say, the corruption you witnessed firsthand in the form of kickbacks.

00:03:08.260 You've witnessed some mighty questionable, well, I would say, scenes and events. Tell us,

00:03:16.360 if you will, first, the kickbacks, what you actually saw.

00:03:20.920 So the kickback scheme centers around Ukraine. And as a stenographer for Joe Biden, I traveled with

00:03:32.580 him to Ukraine three times. He did a total of six trips there from the time he was a vice president.

00:03:40.160 He took one trip there in 2009. And then when the Ukrainian uprising, the Maidan uprising,

00:03:46.920 happened in like January of 2014. That's when things started to get heated. And he became very

00:03:55.780 interested in being the savior of Ukraine and going over there and helping them with their

00:04:00.820 energy security. That's when the kickback scheme started. So he did a trip there in April of 20,

00:04:08.680 April 21st, 2014. Then he went in June. I wasn't on that trip. Then he went later that year in November

00:04:16.080 of 2014. I was on that trip. Then he went in 2015 in December. I was on that trip. And that's when he

00:04:23.040 fired the prosecutor, the guy Shokin. And then he did a final wrap up trip just days before he left

00:04:30.280 office in just January 2017. Very strange that a vice president would, the tail, very tail end of his

00:04:38.220 term, rush over to not only Ukraine, but he also went to Davos for the World Economic Forum.

00:04:43.800 So naturally, naturally. So I was there for that. So when did I see the kickback specifically on that

00:04:52.720 flight to April 21st, 2014? There was a kickback scheme underway. And I've got tons of evidence of

00:05:03.400 it that I derived from digging into the Hunter by the laptop. The emails show interactions between Joe

00:05:10.380 and Hunter and Devin Archer. And days before this April 21st trip, there was a meeting of the three

00:05:17.460 of those in the White House. And then on that flight, Jake Sullivan walked to the back of the

00:05:23.360 plane and explained to the press when questioned, what kind of energy security is Joe Biden bringing

00:05:29.080 to Ukraine. And he explained, we're bringing stuff for non-traditional gas resources. That's

00:05:38.900 fracking. And that was the Biden kickback scheme centered around Burisma's fracking. They were

00:05:46.540 growing their fracking business. So basically, he was saying on behalf of Joe Biden, we're going to go

00:05:52.140 help their fracking. And that was Burisma.

00:05:53.920 Right. So it's sort of an interesting thing for a vice president to be involved. Did you

00:05:58.820 were any of Hunter's business partners with Joe and Hunter on these trips?

00:06:04.780 No, no. Hunter and Joe were never seen together. Very, very little, very few. And, and, you know,

00:06:14.740 you can tell from the way the laptop, they coordinate their communication, a laptop, but

00:06:20.560 they try to keep a distance. But there's a lot of instances that I put in the book about

00:06:26.920 meetings they had, critical meetings of strategic, developing a strategy for this kickback scheme.

00:06:33.760 Then they go into the White House and they further it. Then they go on this trip in April 21st, 2014.

00:06:40.720 And then as problems begin to pile up, Hunter Biden relays information back into Joe.

00:06:47.720 He's on the phone with him every day. That's what Joe used to brag about. I'm on the phone with my

00:06:52.040 kids every day. And Joe would set up American policy to fix what, you know, first of all,

00:06:59.320 put money in Burisma's pocket, but also to fix their problems.

00:07:04.260 So there was an interconnect, if you will, between the issue, the, the great gift of fracking from

00:07:13.340 Joe Biden to the Ukrainians and Burisma was going to be involved in that as well.

00:07:18.860 Correct. Burisma had huge contracts for fracking in Ukraine was one of the few countries in Europe

00:07:27.280 that allowed fracking. They had large, um, unconventional gas reserves in the Eastern part

00:07:34.120 of the country. That's where they're fighting now. Basically this invasion by Putin, he's invaded

00:07:40.120 Ukraine to take over their, their natural gas reserves. Um, and he'll have a, a monopoly on energy

00:07:47.220 in that part of the world, transmitting it into Europe at high prices. So he's, he's got Europe

00:07:53.060 strung out, you know, Biden went in there as a savior of Ukraine, but he brought his corruption

00:07:58.460 along with them and Putin just walked in behind it. And it was all about fracking and fracking is

00:08:04.200 what was going on in Crimea. Putin took that over and Burisma had contracts there.

00:08:09.700 So basically what we watched here over the course of this time, uh, your period as a white house

00:08:15.820 stenographer traveling with a vice president to the current day, Joe Biden, who was going to do so

00:08:22.140 much for Ukraine is now responsible for the war, uh, being waged by, by Vladimir Putin's Russia

00:08:29.340 against Ukraine, devastating the country, destroying, uh, so, so many, uh, thousands of lives, uh, and 0.97

00:08:37.720 property, uh, the, the, it's going to be a restoration project of immense proportions. And this is the guy

00:08:46.540 who was doing so much for Ukraine. And he let this happen because he not only refused to shut down,

00:08:53.600 uh, Vladimir Putin and stop that war before it began. He has also stopped peace negotiations as

00:09:00.980 well between Ukraine, uh, and the Soviet union. So it's sort of hard to see the, the game that he's

00:09:07.720 playing, but it is a game. Uh, and I do not know to what end we're talking with Mike McCormick. He is

00:09:14.700 the author of the book, the case to impeach and imprison Joe Biden. And I have to recommend it to

00:09:20.800 you highly folks. Uh, this is a book that is very important. When we continue, we're going to be

00:09:27.640 talking about a picture. It's a picture of Joe Biden and the president of Honduras in Honduras.

00:09:35.120 And you ask reasonably so, what was Joe Biden doing in Honduras? And he has a way when he travels,

00:09:44.560 business gets done. We'll re we'll be right back with Mike McCormick, the author of case

00:09:49.880 to impeach and imprison Joe Biden. Stay with us. We'll be right back.

00:09:56.220 Lou Dobbs here. I'm delighted to let you all know that the program Lou Dobbs tonight has returned to

00:10:02.200 the air. That's right. Lou Dobbs tonight is back. We're live each and every weeknight at 7pm

00:10:10.360 Eastern and 6pm Central on rumble.com slash Lou Dobbs. That's rumble.com slash Lou Dobbs. I hope

00:10:20.240 you'll be joining us for Lou Dobbs tonight as our fight to save this country has only begun.

00:10:32.200 We're back now with Mike McCormick. The book is the case to impeach and imprison Joe Biden.

00:10:37.320 And there's, there's so much fascinating, uh, in, uh, information and, uh, anecdotes in this,

00:10:45.320 uh, this book, Mike, uh, and, and certainly what is fascinating to me that the audience needs to know

00:10:52.680 is you were interviewed about, uh, Joe Biden's corruption by the house oversight committee.

00:11:00.580 Uh, tell us about that real quickly, if you would, and, and what the result was.

00:11:06.760 Yes. Thanks on that, Lou. My determination, you know, I started writing a substack, the substack

00:11:12.920 called midnight in laptop of good and evil. And I based it on what I found a hundred by the laptop.

00:11:18.520 And then I started going back into my own personal experience of what I saw Joe do.

00:11:23.040 Well, along the way, um, I started putting out some significant evidence and I went to the FBI

00:11:30.800 with what I just described to you, this trip, this April 21st, 2014 trip and said,

00:11:36.600 this was me witnessing a crime. And I would like, what year did you go to the FBI?

00:11:41.040 Uh, that was February, just last February. So February, 2023. Um, and I never heard back from

00:11:49.920 them. I kept, I talked to some other media and then eventually got to the attention of the, uh,

00:11:56.760 oversight committee and the oversight committee had me down for an interview. And it struck me as odd

00:12:03.680 the way they were talking to me. There were lawyers. I was talking to their lawyers and they're

00:12:08.000 very noncommittal, but it struck me that what they wanted. And I told them quite a bit of

00:12:13.240 information that I knew at the time, it struck me that they wanted to only focus on the Biden crime

00:12:20.000 family. The information I had at the time included Barack Obama, um, Jake Sullivan. And later I

00:12:28.040 developed information about the, uh, embassy in Ukraine ambassador, Jeffrey Pyatt, assistant secretary,

00:12:34.880 um, uh, of state, uh, Victoria Newland. And, you know, the more evidence I, and I would pass that

00:12:43.260 information on as I wrote my subsects to them. And I never heard back from after I did this interview

00:12:47.920 at the end of the interview, they said, well, you, you've got some really interesting things that

00:12:51.560 we've, we've heard about. Um, and I said, well, I'd love to testify. And they said, well, yeah,

00:12:57.080 I don't, you know, we're not going to see that happening. They didn't really say they were just

00:13:01.720 noncommittal. And they said, you really would like to testify. I said, yeah. And they just sort

00:13:05.840 of shrugged and said, well, okay, we'll see. And so then they, you know, Mike, you're telling me

00:13:11.920 that the investigators, uh, didn't want to have your evidence at all. No. And they, they put me in

00:13:20.500 touch with the Senate Homeland Security, governmental affairs committee investigators, and they were a lot

00:13:26.840 more receptive of the information. And they actually gave me some information. One of the

00:13:31.300 leads they gave me was you should look into this guy, Pyatt. And once I did, I started finding more

00:13:36.200 stuff there. So spell his name, spell his name. Pyatt P Y A T T ambassador, Jeffrey Pyatt, Jeffrey with

00:13:45.540 a G. So, you know, I thought, okay, they're setting up this investigation. They're going to do these, 0.60

00:13:53.280 these interviews. I should get interviews. I still haven't been interviewed. So I went to the U S

00:13:59.360 attorney, David Weiss. I said, look, I've got evidence. So you should have me in front of you.

00:14:05.080 And he ignored what I told him. And then I set up. I wonder why I wonder why. And this was before he,

00:14:12.360 this was in May. So this was before he came out with that devious, um, Hunter Biden, you know,

00:14:18.780 a plea deal that was so sweetheart deal, sweetheart deal. So, you know, they wouldn't talk to me. So

00:14:26.020 then eventually when it got, when the sweetheart deal got kicked out by the judge, the judge made 0.99

00:14:31.380 a ruling and said, if any third party has something to say about this case, contact my chambers. And I

00:14:36.920 contacted the judge's chambers and sent them information. And I called them and they heard

00:14:43.080 back from them and they said, yeah, we got your information. And then the very next day,

00:14:47.340 David Weiss was named as the special counsel. And that's where it sits now in the investigation

00:14:52.520 of Joe Biden, as far as the, as far as the department of justice is concerned. And I haven't

00:14:57.020 heard from him. So that's why I wrote this book. And I haven't heard from the, you know, the

00:15:01.900 investigators in the house or the Senate or special counsel, David Weiss. Why not? I don't know.

00:15:08.080 I mean, you see what's in the book. I took, I put the book out to the court of public opinion

00:15:12.820 that way. Uh, at least people can see the evidence and say, you know what, this guy should

00:15:18.360 really testify.

00:15:20.360 Well, it's, it's, it's clear that you should have been, uh, should have testified. Uh, you

00:15:25.580 would have been under oath in a trans, uh, transcribed, uh, interview. Uh, I, I don't understand

00:15:32.400 why they would not want that information. Um, but you know, it is what it is. Let, let's turn

00:15:40.140 to, to the picture that I mentioned, uh, that you have of Joe Biden and the president of

00:15:47.080 Honduras. What year was that?

00:15:49.140 You know, I don't know when this picture was taken. Uh, I found it on Twitter. I looked

00:15:56.360 into, uh, president Orlando Hernandez's Twitter feed, and there was this picture of him and

00:16:01.440 Joe Biden in close contact with each other. They're clearly in the Roosevelt room in the

00:16:06.660 White House. I've been in that room hundreds of times. I know that room

00:16:10.020 really well. That's where they are. And it's, I think it's early in their, uh, relationship,

00:16:16.900 which would have been about 2014. Um, the, um, there was the unaccompanied minor crisis

00:16:24.900 in the summer of 2014. And Joe Biden weaseled his way into being in charge of that too. And

00:16:31.020 one of the things they did as they were investigating how to fix this on this crisis was he had, uh,

00:16:37.480 president of Honduras, president of Guatemala and the president of El Salvador come to the White

00:16:42.260 House and meet with him and president Biden. So I think that was around that time, summer of 2014,

00:16:47.860 could have been, um, fall of 2014, potentially even 2015.

00:16:53.160 Did you ever see any other interaction between the two?

00:16:56.000 Oh yes. Um, between Hernandez and, um, Biden, they did a lot of meetings around this. It's called

00:17:03.980 the Alliance for Prosperity and Biden took trips down to the region. Uh, I never went to Honduras

00:17:11.040 with him when he met Orlando Hernandez. I went to Honduras with him in 2012 when he met Orlando

00:17:18.880 Hernandez's predecessor, a guy named Pepe Sosa Lobo, whose son is now in prison for smuggling

00:17:25.460 tons of cocaine into America. And Hernandez's brother is now in prison for smuggling tons of

00:17:33.560 cocaine into America. Hernandez is in prison. It's tough being a brother of a president in,

00:17:38.760 uh, Honduras, isn't it? Yeah. The family members of the presidents and the presidents were using

00:17:43.140 their government and, and the Obama Biden administration knew it. Coming up next, Speaker

00:17:48.600 Mike Johnson abandons America first. Once again, J.R. Majewski, the America first candidate running for

00:17:55.140 Congress in Ohio's ninth congressional district and Speaker Johnson just endorsed his opponent.

00:18:01.680 J.R. joins us here next.

00:18:09.240 Thanks for staying with us here on the Great America Sunday show and joining us now,

00:18:13.980 J.R. Majewski. And as I said, running for Congress in Ohio's ninth congressional district.

00:18:19.440 J.R., a pleasure to have you with us. And I want to start with

00:18:22.240 what's going on in the Middle East right now. Last week, we had the attack that killed three

00:18:27.660 innocent service members. And just this weekend, you have Joe Biden launching retaliatory attacks.

00:18:33.980 What do you make of it? Well, I think it's, it's a tragedy when any member of the armed forces

00:18:39.760 passes. Um, it's especially tragic when we know that this is preventable. Had we had a strong leader

00:18:46.540 like Donald Trump as our president? And, um, I would hope that, you know, the, these proxy wars and

00:18:52.440 these things that are happening overseas with our, our service members aren't an attempt for the Biden

00:18:56.620 administration to bolster their candidacy for president. We all know that, uh, wars win, uh,

00:19:01.800 elections and, um, you know, with, with the way Donald Trump is pulling today and the momentum that

00:19:07.280 we're seeing from the America first movement. And the fact that none of us want to be at war,

00:19:11.400 um, is only symptomatic to me, at least that, you know, there's some meddling going on, but

00:19:17.100 if Donald Trump were the president and we had a strong leader, I don't think we would see,

00:19:20.820 uh, many of these issues that we're seeing on the world stage.

00:19:24.300 I, I worry about what you're describing right now, which is, uh, that the Biden administration

00:19:29.980 polling lower than any president, uh, since Jimmy Carter is looking in every which direction,

00:19:36.420 whether it be the border, uh, whether it be overseas, uh, he's looking for anything to

00:19:42.120 distract from his ineptitude, uh, and, uh, just outright ignorant policies that have devastated

00:19:48.340 this country economically, uh, socially, uh, and it goes on. Uh, but also it's interesting that,

00:19:55.120 uh, Lindsey Graham, uh, and, uh, Mitch McConnell and John Cornyn came out wanting a strike against

00:20:03.880 Iran. Uh, and I was just hoping that maybe they'd go out and volunteer to, you know, to pick up, 1.00

00:20:10.420 uh, you know, uh, an M 16 or whatever, and be right there at the, right at the point of the spear,

00:20:16.260 but that isn't the way it works, is it? Instead, it looks to me like they're wagging the dog for Joe

00:20:22.300 Biden. Joe Biden doesn't even have to because the rhino establishment Republicans are doing it 0.99

00:20:27.900 for him. And that's an outrage. The, these ignorant, these three ignorant senators are an

00:20:33.780 embarrassment to the country. Agreed. They're just opening their wallet for, uh, for Blackwater and

00:20:38.880 all of the other, not, not Blackwater, but you know, the Halliburton's of the world. And, uh,

00:20:43.300 you know, that that's, again, that's what they do. That's what they're famous for. Um, these neocons

00:20:48.040 are, are part of our problem here at home. Um, they've, they've driven us into this polarization.

00:20:52.440 They've, they, they don't have any, um, leadership skills and they're, they're not trying to pull the

00:20:56.940 country together and, and, and look internally when we have veterans here, uh, suffering from

00:21:02.180 PTSD. We have veterans here that don't, that are homeless and, uh, we're, we're out fighting all

00:21:07.320 of these other wars, just in my opinion, for the distinct benefit of them to make a little bit more

00:21:11.820 money. It's, it is a play for the military industrial complex. It is a play for wall street. It is a play for

00:21:20.580 big tech. Uh, it is a disgusting what we are watching happen to this country right now. Uh, you

00:21:27.920 know, uh, in Iran, uh, excuse me, in Iraq, uh, we were told we should get ready for the doctrine of

00:21:36.040 long war. General David Petraeus said, you know, we're going to be a, we're going to go to what it

00:21:40.880 is. It's very important that we have a long war doctrine. And by golly, we got a long war, 21 years

00:21:46.840 of it in Afghanistan and Iraq, uh, to what end, right? No end at all. Uh, and, and people want

00:21:55.200 to just ignore the reality, uh, that it is, as you say, uh, it's a feature of those who are profiteers

00:22:02.340 and who are making a lot of money while guys are losing their lives as did these three service

00:22:08.500 members over the weekend. Uh, and we know it that there are at least there are hundreds of our service

00:22:14.600 members who've been wounded, uh, without response from this administration in any meaningful way.

00:22:20.000 I want to turn to your campaign and ask how much are you going to make of that issue in your campaign

00:22:26.920 for Congress? Well, Lou, it's a good question. Marcy Kaptor, who I'm running against, she's the 0.89

00:22:31.700 democratic incumbent who has been in office for 41 years. Uh, she's also the chairwoman of the

00:22:36.540 Ukrainian caucus. So, you know, she's knee deep in this, in this corruption. She's knee deep in,

00:22:41.880 in sending our tax paying dollars to proxy wars across the world. And so we're, we're definitely

00:22:46.840 focused on that. Uh, the people of my district have been under her spell, under her charm for,

00:22:51.320 for our entire candidacy, but, you know, they're, they're starting to wake up, especially because

00:22:55.920 we see the political mistreatment and the lawfare that's being cast against Donald Trump. It's

00:23:00.820 really opening their eyes and, um, they're, you know, we're, we're trying to, um, shift their

00:23:05.720 perspective, you know, just as much on Marcy Kaptor and what she's done as much as they're

00:23:10.020 seeing, you know, at their own, uh, initiative on what Biden and his administration is doing

00:23:14.940 to Donald Trump and the persecution, the political persecution of Donald Trump, it, it staggers

00:23:22.100 me. Uh, and I've been reporting on it throughout, but it still staggers me to think that we're

00:23:27.920 now in the ninth year of the political persecution of Donald Trump. He hasn't been found guilty of

00:23:35.360 a single wrongdoing. Uh, we know that the prosecutors more, they're the ones who belong

00:23:41.160 in jail. Uh, this idiot, Jack Smith. I mean, what is he? Uh, he's a, he's a Marxist activist. Uh,

00:23:48.840 he, he might as well be in, you know, mid 1980s, uh, uh, the Soviet union putting on show trials

00:23:55.720 because this is what he's about. Uh, we're going to talk, uh, here with J.R. Majerski, uh,

00:24:01.900 about his campaign, about where we're headed as a country and what he wants to do about

00:24:06.460 it. And we're also going to take up, uh, just exactly why, why it is. He had a problem with

00:24:13.480 the, uh, U S air force with his, uh, his jacket, his military records. And, uh, the story is

00:24:20.920 fascinating. We take that up right after these words, stay with us.

00:24:24.380 Lou Dobbs here. I'm delighted to let you all know that the program Lou Dobbs tonight has returned

00:24:32.340 to the air. That's right. Lou Dobbs tonight is back. We're live each and every weeknight at 7 PM

00:24:40.680 Eastern and 6 PM central on rumble.com slash Lou Dobbs. That's rumble.com slash Lou Dobbs.

00:24:49.720 I hope you'll be joining us for Lou Dobbs tonight as our fight to save this country has only begun.

00:25:02.380 We're back with J.R. Majerski and J.R. let's, let's go to, uh, your, your military, uh, file,

00:25:11.000 uh, your, uh, and the problem that you had, uh, with the, with the U S air force and their release

00:25:18.880 of what is, uh, your personal military record. How did it come to be? Well, we were pulling within

00:25:26.660 two points, plus or minus two points, uh, of Marcy captor last September. And I believe in,

00:25:32.280 and I think many of folks believe that we were on path to unseating her and they launched a,

00:25:36.920 an October surprise in late September. Uh, they accused me of lying about my military service.

00:25:41.920 They accused me of not being a combat veteran, lying about that. And when I proved that I was,

00:25:46.500 they then accused me of not serving in Afghanistan. And it all hinged on the fact that I didn't have

00:25:51.500 the global war on terrorism metal that, uh, was created about a year after I had gotten out of

00:25:56.760 the service. And after the, um, after the election, Matt Gates and Anna Paulina Luna and a few other

00:26:02.740 good members of Congress, uh, investigated this. And they found out that, you know, they, they had

00:26:07.880 this information in July, but the, the government gangsters waited till, uh, October, excuse me,

00:26:12.960 late September to release it. And, um, it was a product of them forging my signature, stealing my

00:26:18.620 social security number and gaining access to my, my entire file and lying by, by omission.

00:26:24.020 And I spent the last, uh, 11, 12 months petitioning the air force. And I was finally awarded the medal

00:26:29.540 in October, which is when I decided to get back into the race and finish what I started.

00:26:34.440 That's incredible. And who was behind it? Do you think?

00:26:38.080 Um, you know, I, I know it was Marcy Capter. I also know it was the, the D triple C, but

00:26:42.980 you know, when you look at the Genesis of Kevin McCarthy, um, fighting for the gavel,

00:26:48.000 uh, on round, I believe it was around 13 of the speakership race. One Democrat stood up and said

00:26:53.060 that they would consider crossing the aisle and voting for him. And that was Marcy Capter. So,

00:26:57.040 you know, I, I can't help, but believe that Kevin McCarthy had a part in it. And I think that,

00:27:01.480 uh, his, uh, I don't know, distrust and, and, uh,

00:27:05.240 uh, vitriol for me is, is leaking into this cycle as well, because you have,

00:27:09.060 you know, a guy like Speaker Johnson endorsing a candidate that, uh, you know, is a cookie cutter

00:27:14.000 establishment type because they know that I'm an America first candidate. And I believe,

00:27:18.720 uh, strong, very strongly that my job in Washington DC is, is going to ensure, be ensuring that

00:27:25.520 Trump's agenda is pushed through and that he doesn't have a lame, uh, house of representatives

00:27:29.560 like he did his first term. Yeah. He needs every, everyone, uh, uh, on the ground fighting for the

00:27:37.000 America first agenda. There's just no other, no other way that we can rescue this country. Uh,

00:27:43.640 let, let's go to Derek, uh, Marin and how in the world he came to the attention of the speaker when

00:27:50.440 you were sitting there fighting for the, uh, for the nomination, uh, with your background as a veteran,

00:27:56.460 uh, as a America first candidate, do you know what's the, what the story is behind his decision

00:28:04.020 to come up with a challenger to you? Well, the first candidate, um, you know, they recruited

00:28:10.420 back in last April when I wasn't in the race and McCarthy, uh, was able to coalesce leadership to

00:28:17.020 support him. He raised a good amount of money. And then he was caught on a telephone call with a

00:28:21.840 donor, um, really dressing down the president and president Trump and, and, and sharing his

00:28:28.200 true feelings about the president and that he's arrogant. He's not presidential. He doesn't like

00:28:32.240 him. He doesn't like how he calls people names. Basically he doesn't like an America first strong

00:28:37.740 willed man who is defending himself after being unfairly attacked for nine years. Like we just

00:28:42.420 talked about this. And you're talking about Derek Marin. No, this is the, this is the candidate before

00:28:47.440 him. And, um, yeah, so his, his, his candidacy somewhat imploded and in an effort of, of sheer

00:28:55.600 panic, uh, the establishment in Washington DC recruited Derek Marin and little did they know

00:29:01.060 that Derek Marin is also scandal, uh, plagued. He has some, some issues, um, as, as a gentleman

00:29:08.460 that tried to gain speaker of the house here in Ohio and totally failed in that effort. And then,

00:29:13.580 you know, he has, uh, some accusations of having an affair with, with another member of, of the house

00:29:18.800 who, um, was eventually kicked out of the house for having an adulterous affair.

00:29:24.980 And, and the Derek Marin did all that. And you referenced somebody who didn't make it to

00:29:32.360 speaker of the house. Who is that?

00:29:34.060 That was Derek Marin as well. He, he was the, the conference or the caucus last cycle or last year,

00:29:40.080 uh, elected him as speaker. And then because of some misbehaviors and some disagreements that he

00:29:45.100 had with, uh, specific members, um, from what I understand, he was promising them, um, positions on

00:29:52.040 certain is chairman or vice chairman of, of, of certain, um, you know, efforts in the house.

00:29:57.240 And then once he won the speakership, he, he, he withdrew that. And so those folks then, uh, partnered up

00:30:04.940 with, with some of the Democrats and they were able to, uh, to award the speaker to another

00:30:09.840 gentleman. And this gentleman, uh, came right out of the gate this cycle once, once president Trump

00:30:14.720 was, uh, running for president and endorsed him. And Derek Marin didn't do that until I don't,

00:30:19.760 actually, I'm not even sure he's endorsed him yet, but I believe he made an attempt at endorsing

00:30:23.860 president Trump once he decided to run against me. So, uh, the charade is pretty clear. I'm, I'm,

00:30:29.120 I'm actually very surprised that speaker Johnson, um, was, was fooled by this and that they've

00:30:34.260 actually chosen someone like Derek. How many are in the race? Uh, four, myself included.

00:30:40.520 And, uh, and you're the principal America first candidate. Uh, you have a, a military, uh, uh,

00:30:48.480 background, a veteran, um, you, and you're, you've been without question, uh, talking about the right

00:30:56.400 issues and doing the right thing. So, uh, you have no idea how the speaker of the house decided

00:31:03.120 to bring in Derek Marin with all the baggage that he's got.

00:31:06.880 Right. And I also spent 20 years working in the nuclear power Institute, Lou. So,

00:31:10.860 you know, I have a, I have a, a, a, a vast level of knowledge on, on energy. And when we're in a,

00:31:16.940 in the positions that we are right now with respect to not, not having our energy independence,

00:31:21.360 I mean, I could be a staunch ally, not only for the house, but I know Donald Trump recognizes my

00:31:25.880 talent and my skillset. So, you know, I'll be somebody that he'll be able to count on when he,

00:31:30.020 when he takes the reins in the white house. Well, that's great. And who's funding your

00:31:34.840 opponent, a principal opponent, uh, since the speaker is backing, uh, Derek Marin, is it Derek

00:31:40.580 Marin? Um, I would think that he's going to be getting sponsored from Americans for Chinese

00:31:46.660 prosperity and, and a few other groups that, uh, you know, are looking to work against the

00:31:50.840 America first movement. Uh, I haven't put my finger on it yet, but, uh, I know he's getting

00:31:54.860 some phone calls. The NRCC is actually calling donors in my district and asking them to sit down

00:31:59.900 and speak with him. They've actually shared emails with me and, um, they're, they're not happy with

00:32:04.140 that. And so he's going to have, he's going to have a fight in his hands. We're up on the polls

00:32:08.380 by 19 points right now. So, you know, I'm not, I'm not really worried about these folks. I, I wish

00:32:12.980 them well in the run for second place, but you know, it would be nice if the leadership in the party

00:32:16.980 would stop embarrassing themselves and stop embarrassing Donald Trump.
