00:00:00.080Hello, everybody. I'm Lou Dobbs, and welcome to this episode of The Great America Show.
00:00:05.760We begin with the sight of President Biden taking a digger on his bike while at a full stop with both feet on the ground.
00:00:13.440Biden keeled over off his bike on his right side, unhurt, and the solicitous corporatist media marveling that an 80-year-old man could actually ride a bike to begin with.
00:00:24.120And so it goes. The Biden White House exodus is astonishing. It looks more like a jailbreak as staffers at all levels are bailing on the puppet presidency.
00:00:35.420Burned out and used up, they say. Afghanistan, China virus, high inflation, Ukraine, shortages of baby formula and markets in turmoil.
00:00:45.000It's easy to forget that Biden hasn't yet been in office a full year and a half, and he's screwed up every policy, every initiative that he's taken, none of which are in the national interest.
00:00:57.440The Biden disaster goes on. His staff isn't going on, though. Many have now just gone.
00:01:04.580And gone, too, is the Marxist Dems' hopes for a big TV audience for their sham January 6th committee hearings.
00:01:11.660President Trump gleefully calling the ratings absolutely awful.
00:01:17.140The hearings have served as an unnecessary reminder to all of us of the stupidity and the evil of the political shills who make up the committee.
00:01:26.600Adam Schiff, Jamie Raskin, Rhinos, Liz Cheney, and Adam Kensinger.
00:01:32.100Kensinger obviously is bored by the farcical hearings as everyone else.
00:01:36.920He decided to take time to castigate all of Christianity.
00:01:40.160That's right, the self-righteous Judas of a Republican telling Christians to stop their worship of Donald Trump.
00:04:55.020Julie writes for American Greatness, and she's the author of the book,
00:04:58.540January 6th, How Democrats Use the Capitol Protest to Launch a War on Terror Against the Political Right.
00:05:06.820Julie, welcome. Great to have you on the show.
00:05:09.420Let's begin with the January 6th committee itself,
00:05:12.020delaying a hearing, an obvious split on that committee,
00:05:15.280the chairman of which says there will be no criminal referrals of President Trump.
00:05:21.340Well, it's unfortunate because I was actually looking forward to the testimony of Jeffrey Rosen,
00:05:27.640the former acting attorney general, in the waning weeks or month or so of Trump's presidency.
00:05:34.480It's interesting that he won't be testifying, and I wonder why they want to question Jeffrey Rosen about the attempts to overturn the election
00:05:46.140and get the Justice Department involved in investigating election fraud, which, of course, William Barr refused to do,
00:07:10.200Well, and I, you know, their primetime theater last Thursday certainly did not draw the attention of the American people,
00:07:17.400that they thought that it would, no matter how hard they tried and met with all the network executives.
00:07:23.840And, you know, of course, this was aired all across the country on major broadcast networks and cable, except for Fox.
00:07:31.940And so then they had another hearing on Monday that completely bombed.
00:07:35.900And so instead of continuing on this downward spiral, the American people are more worried about how to pay for filling up their gas tank
00:07:45.320and what's happening at the southern border, what's happening in the major cities right next to them.
00:07:50.380They see that this charade is a complete waste of time and money and certainly not producing the bombshells that this committee promised that it would.
00:08:02.160And at the same time, you know, not really providing any new facts to the American people while they conceal evidence that would show exactly what happened that day.
00:08:12.220And so I think that this is why perhaps they decided to delay this for a number of reasons, not that anything explosive was going, but they discovered because there's nothing there.
00:08:23.740It seems possible to me again that what we're witnessing is the implosion of the committee itself, that it is melting down in a paroxysm of self-awareness suddenly about their absurdly low chances of bringing any kind of important development to the American public.
00:09:19.420governments and sources all over Capitol Hill that day.
00:09:22.980And they're reminding people that, yes, President Trump did offer the National Guard and Nancy Pelosi and the House leadership are the ones who chose not to have it there.
00:09:34.160Those questions loom large and much bigger than anything that they even want to talk about, don't you think?
00:09:40.640And, you know, if this were a fact-binding mission, we would have seen witness testimony clips from not Ivanka Trump, but we would have seen testimony from Christopher Wray explaining exactly what the FBI did before January 6th.
00:09:55.920And on that day, not just FBI informants and agents, which, of course, the American people are definitely entitled to learn about, but also any intelligence that the FBI claimed to have had and why they didn't notify their law enforcement partners that there could be violence,
00:10:14.680that there were going to be people there seeking to, what, attack the Capitol, storm the Capitol, that they were going to have weapons.
00:10:22.340Why didn't the FBI have that intelligence?
00:10:24.460And if they did, why didn't they share it with their partners?
00:10:27.280Why did Nancy Pelosi and the Capitol Police Board, controlled by the Sergeant-at-Arms for both the House and Senate,
00:10:36.300why did they reject numerous requests from the then Chief of Police, Stephen Sund,
00:10:42.540who, starting on January 4th, asked the Capitol Police Board to allow him or to authorize the use of National Guardsmen?
00:10:50.520They rejected that for two days, and even that afternoon, as the chaos was unfolding, Stephen Sund was desperately on the phone with Paul Irving,
00:11:00.160the House Sergeant-at-Arms working for Nancy Pelosi, and Michael Stenger, the Sergeant-at-Arms for Mitch McConnell,
00:11:07.060begging to find some sort of way to authorize the deployment of Guardsmen who had been at the Armory early that morning.
00:11:16.480I actually talked to a D.C. Guardsman who said that he was at the D.C. Armory, or at the Armory, at 6 o'clock that morning, waiting to be deployed.
00:11:25.460They weren't deployed until after 5 o'clock that afternoon, when most of the chaos had already subsided,
00:11:32.080and most of the Capitol grounds, and, of course, the building had been evacuated.
00:15:53.840They will do anything not to destroy Donald Trump.
00:15:56.120This reach is far beyond Donald Trump now.
00:15:57.860This is to drive a stake in the heart of the entire MAGA movement, you know, the 72, 73 million Americans who voted for Trump and who plan to go to the polls this November and overwhelmingly elect Republicans to take over Congress.
00:16:15.400It far exceeds anything solely related to Donald Trump.
00:16:19.120And as it's occurred with just about every other issue they've taken on, the radical Dems, in the last 17, 18 months, it always blows up in their face and really adds only to the momentum of the wave election that's surely coming in November.
00:16:38.720It's beginning to look like the Marxist Dems, who are the puppet masters of this president in the White House, have really run out of options other than to start looking to 2024, because this thing is almost to the point where I would have to say this thing being the campaign is really sort of baked right now.
00:17:02.820The outcome all but assured that it will be a landslide for Republicans, and these people on this committee are open to extraordinary levels of investigation and a return, if you will, of the favor of persecution for political purposes, should the Republicans so desire.
00:17:24.080I hope they desire such, because it is time we had a countervailing influence to the evil of this Democrat Party.
00:17:34.020This has gone beyond anything like dirty tricks.
00:17:38.700This is an evil and directed initiative on the part of the Marxist Dems to destroy the political system, the two-party system,
00:17:52.400and, frankly, take down the Supreme Court, the electoral system.
00:17:56.900They're making no secret of their agenda.
00:20:53.880We're entering a seventh year of political persecution of Donald Trump, and they have not laid a glove on him.
00:21:01.840He hasn't been found guilty of anything, and he's been charged with every level of nonsense by these radical Dems,
00:21:10.380these Marxist Dems, and their deep state allies.
00:21:14.460When are the American people going to say enough is enough and demand that these rhino leaders of the Republican Party say,
00:21:21.480this will not stand, it will not pass, shut down this committee, and for God's sake, try, try just for a while to do the right thing
00:21:32.880and to be Americans instead of ideologues and the Marxist authors of just more persecution.
00:21:42.580Well, you know, you wonder how the announcement of Trump being indicted on either or both of those charges will go over with the American people.
00:21:54.100I mean, I think that in a way they want to announce those charges to cause people to hold more rallies and protests similar to January 6th.
00:22:03.500And then you could say, see, look, they're cult members, they're insurrectionists, they still defend this president, no matter what criminal conduct he is engaged in.
00:22:13.620But to your point, we're entering year seven.
00:22:16.600People like Adam Schiff, who, of course, is on this committee, led the first impeachment,
00:22:20.820helped promote the Russia collusion hoax in his position on the House Intelligence Committee.
00:22:25.820So they have created, they've ginned up this expectation for almost seven years that Donald Trump is going to be in an orange jumpsuit at some point.
00:22:35.600If they don't do that now, they never will.
00:25:02.280But this is not the understanding of their base.
00:25:04.780This is not the understanding of half the country.
00:25:06.980You still have polls coming out that the overwhelming majority of Democratic voters still think that Donald Trump colluded with Vladimir Putin in 2016 to steal the election.
00:25:18.500So they also think that Donald Trump incited a deadly insurrection, an armed coup on January 6th.
00:25:26.420So we can only blame Democratic leaders so much.
00:25:29.460It is millions of our countrymen who continue to not be duped, to be active partners in what people like Adam Schiff are doing.
00:25:40.940And so let's make sure we also lay blame on our countrymen who will stop at nothing to try to destroy the other side with whom they disagree.
00:25:52.920And that means that we have to lay blame squarely on the corporations that own media outlets, whether it be ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, ABC News.
00:26:06.780These are corporations that are despicable because they are carrying out left-wing agendas through their corporatist elite structures.
00:26:17.980The only people who are culpable here, the principal liar and author of Russia Collusion and all that followed that in the political persecution of Donald Trump is none other than Hillary Rodham Clinton.
00:26:32.400And the Democratic National Committee, the Clinton campaign, the deep state, the FBI has known from the outset that that dossier upon which they tried to base the – well, they did succeed in basing a persecution and a special counsel on that dossier.
00:26:51.400I mean, all of that was hokum from the beginning, and everybody in the FBI leadership knew it, and I suspect most in middle management of the FBI and Department of Justice knew it.
00:27:05.280So, I mean, the whole idea that the FBI was caught off guard, you know, we heard this during the trial of Michael Sussman, that, you know, they were just kind of duped by Michael Sussman, didn't really tell Jim Baker, Obalone.
00:27:58.400This is why Democrats just aren't lucky that there was, you know, this four-hour disturbance on the Capitol,
00:28:03.560and they just happened to be weaponizing it, criminalizing it 18 months later.
00:28:07.360This was planned from the start from the same people, unaccountable people, we have to emphasize, to produce the events of January 6th.
00:28:16.520And I have to give Senator Cruz credit.
00:28:19.240He, talking to the FBI official that was sent over by remote to testify to the Senate, she came across as just a complete fool and a bit of an idiot.
00:30:01.620Lindsey Graham, by the way, the people of South Carolina, they really owe America an apology.
00:30:08.900He needs to really get back to private life where I'm sure he'd be an immense success.
00:30:14.080Well, I think there are most Republican senators who not only have been complicit in helping to cover up this up,
00:30:24.100what's happened January 6th, but also more shamefully, completely silent on the political persecution of members of their own party.
00:30:31.860And, of course, this refers to the political prisoners, many of whom have been held for over a year, denied bail.
00:30:38.360The same DOJ delays their trials, withholds evidence.
00:30:42.020We have not heard a peep out of Republicans in the U.S. Senate who are outraged about that.
00:30:48.760If this were happening on the other side, Lou, you had a Republican White House and a Republican DOJ holding Democrat protesters in the same way.
00:30:58.040The first people who would be screaming would be people like Lindsey Graham and Ben Sasse and Mitt Romney and that class of fools.
00:31:31.800And to think, you know, thank you again for your coverage of January 6th and keeping the issue and the tragedy of January 6th and those political prisoners in front of the public.
00:31:49.240Because, frankly, without you, the reporting would be scant indeed.
00:31:54.380Well, Lou, on Wednesday afternoon, the head of the Patriot Freedom Project, a woman who started this fund all on her own because there was no fund to help with legal costs or family costs, she is holding a press conference on Capitol Hill.
00:32:08.760She has about six Republican House members, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Andy Biggs, Louie Gohmert, the same few who keep standing up to talk about the political prisoners and what's happening.
00:32:20.280You should have 200 plus House members.
00:32:22.240You should have every one of the 50 Republican senators joining this cause.
00:32:41.260Well, my thought is, you know, for people to just keep following this and more importantly, Lou, to what we're talking about, push your Republican lawmakers and senators.
00:32:50.940When they take over control early next year, that they need to use this committee to retaliate, to do the same, if not more, to the liars in Congress and try to hold them accountable and expose the truth.
00:33:08.720And finally expose the truth about really what happened on January 6th and leading up to that day, because the American people will be shocked if we ever get the truth.
00:33:20.180Julie Kelly, because of you, we do get the truth.
00:33:23.120And we appreciate it so much with all of your reporting and American greatness.
