00:01:14.940 Hello, everybody. I'm Lou Dobbs. Welcome to The Great America Show. Thanks for being with us.
00:01:22.540 The national prayer breakfast was this week and it was a doozy, especially for Joe Biden.
00:01:28.960 Biden was often lost. He had catch himself off script from time to time,
00:01:33.300 but there were times he actually stayed on script, like when he called for peace in Gaza.
00:01:38.460 I also see the trauma, the death and destruction in Israel and Gaza and understand that the pain
00:01:45.820 and passion felt by so many here in America and around the world. We value and pray for the lives
00:01:53.320 taken and for the families left behind, for all those who are living in dire circumstances,
00:01:59.360 innocent men, women and children held hostage or under bombardment or displaced, not knowing where the
00:02:08.480 next meal will come from or if it will come at all. Not only do we pray for peace, we are actively
00:02:15.920 working for peace, security, dignity for the Israeli people and the Palestinian people.
00:02:20.640 I'm engaged in this day and night and working, as many of you in this room are, to find the means to
00:02:27.620 bring our hostages home, to ease the humanitarian crisis and to bring peace to Gaza and Israel.
00:02:34.640 His comments come at an interesting time. His Secretary of State, Tony Blinken, is actually talking out loud
00:02:41.540 publicly and persuasively, I'm sure, especially in Israel, about recognition of Palestine as a state
00:02:49.560 after the war in Gaza. These Bidenistas are cute, aren't they? This is the way Biden tried to close
00:02:57.260 out his remarks at the National Prayer Breakfast for crying out loud. We have really tough, tough
00:03:03.760 differences. We really go at one another. Remember, let's remember who the hell we are. We're the United
00:03:12.560 States of America. Remember who the hell we are, he said at the prayer breakfast. Biden is the only
00:03:20.520 one having trouble remembering who the hell he is. Our guest today is Shea Bradley Farrell. She's the
00:03:27.360 president of Counterpoint Institute. She's the author of the all new book, The Last Warning to the West.
00:03:34.420 And I mean, it seems to me that we're getting down to exactly that point, Shea. The West unconscious for a
00:03:40.980 good part of the time anyway. We're looking at any number of losers in this, and China seems to be paramount
00:03:46.720 among the winners, if there are any, because Europe is divided, confronted by Iran, by Russia.
00:03:52.880 Shea, I want to first of all thank you for being with us, and secondly, congratulate you on your important
00:03:58.480 new book. Great to have you with us. What do you believe it's The Last Warning?
00:04:03.320 Well, Lou, the reason I named it that and even wrote the book is because when I started going to Hungary
00:04:08.980 a couple years ago, Hungarians were looking at me repeatedly and telling me that the rhetoric coming
00:04:15.400 out of the US reminded them of their Soviet days. And so I did the history research and looked into
00:04:22.920 their 46 years of occupation under the brutal communist regime. And I learned a lot about Marxism,
00:04:30.480 a lot of things that I did not know, things that the Marxist tenets are very similar to what we are
00:04:37.080 doing with the Biden administration to what's in the EU. What's really interesting is I actually found
00:04:43.120 these 11 points of communist psychological warfare that were published by our Department of Defense in
00:04:50.420 1959. To give you a short example, using a crisis to gain control. What did we just go through in COVID?
00:04:58.580 That's one example. But you look at all 11 points, Lou, and they're in the book, you will not find one
00:05:05.000 of them that does not apply to the way America is acting today.
00:05:10.740 It's, that's fascinating. The 11 points for communists, Marxists, and this being, we're at 2024,
00:05:21.700 we're some time distance from the fall of the Berlin Wall. And from 1989 to present, it's just,
00:05:33.640 it's a relatively short period of time. And suddenly Russia's in resurgence. It is an operating,
00:05:40.380 functioning superpower all unto itself because of its nuclear weaponry. It is actually number two
00:05:47.440 to the United States. And China is catching up quickly. The, the, the effect on the European
00:05:56.940 democracies to me seems to have been a wilting. There is a, a loss of rights, a loss of freedom
00:06:04.300 in the EU, rather than a, a, a progress toward greater liberty and greater, greater freedom.
00:06:12.120 By the way, I think the much the same thing is happening right here in the United States.
00:06:16.860 Your thoughts?
00:06:18.180 Well, if you look at the EU, like for example, just a couple of days ago, they're attempting to extort
00:06:24.760 Hungary again for not going along with them wanting to give 50 billion more dollars to Ukraine.
00:06:32.200 Hungary is like anybody can give money to Ukraine that you want, but we don't want to continue to
00:06:36.580 add to this. They do not believe in enabling this war. I do not either, but to get back to the EU,
00:06:44.440 they have become a very autocratic, very top-down decision-making body. I mean, this,
00:06:50.920 the Financial Times released a confidential document or said they had one about what the EU's
00:06:57.320 intentions were to Hungary. They're unethical in the very least. They're most likely illegal because
00:07:03.700 it's talking about devaluing Hungary's currency, discouraging investment in Hungary. And it's
00:07:10.820 really kind of gotten crazy. The weird thing about it, Lou, is in the three things that the EU is
00:07:16.900 angry about Hungary with, the war, like I just told you. Hungary will not allow any more illegal
00:07:22.820 immigration that the EU wants to push through them. Hungary will not allow transgender radical gender
00:07:28.900 theory in their schools. The Biden administration, unfortunately, is on the same side of the EU,
00:07:35.380 maligning Hungary. And our ambassador, David Pressman, is over there putting in his social media
00:07:42.420 that Prime Minister Viktor Orban is just like Putin. They're in democratic backsliding. None of this is
00:07:49.300 true. And it's an embarrassment to the United States.
00:07:52.020 You know, as you talk about that and raise the issue, as you have, why in the world wouldn't Orban
00:08:00.100 just have US diplomats thrown the heck out? It's an insult to their sovereignty. It's ignorance on our
00:08:09.220 part, this administration's part, to be very clear. Why not just simply toss them?
00:08:15.540 You know, I've wondered that myself, Lou. I think, as I actually point out in my book,
00:08:21.380 that the Hungarians have become like the adults in the room to all this silly child nonsense that's
00:08:28.980 going on in the so-called progressive agenda. So I think that they are holding their breath
00:08:36.100 for President Trump to get back into office. And they don't want to hurt relations with the United
00:08:42.580 States. I mean, they're not taking any of our crap. Quite frankly, they will not, like I said,
00:08:48.340 they have overcome the woke agenda. They're an example for that. If you listen to Prime Minister
00:08:53.780 Viktor Orban, he was one of the revolutionaries that pushed the communists out in 1991. And he will
00:09:00.500 tell you, I've heard him say this, that the progressive agenda is just like what the communists
00:09:06.580 we're trying to get them to accept. It's the diminishment of parental rights. The division of,
00:09:12.980 instead of classes, it's the division between races, division between gender. It's about separating
00:09:20.420 people, separating them from religion, because they want the control.
00:09:24.900 Steve McLaughlin We're talking with Shea Bradley
00:09:27.380 Farrell about her new book, The Last Warning to the West. And we're going to come back. We're going to
00:09:32.420 talk about why it sounds like that she talks about Hungary and talks about the the forces at work in
00:09:38.420 Europe, that it sounds exactly like the United States. We'll be right back. Stay with us.
00:09:45.380 Lou Dobbs here. I'm delighted to let you all know that the program Lou Dobbs Tonight has returned to the
00:09:51.620 air. That's right. Lou Dobbs Tonight is back. We're live each and every weeknight at 7 p.m. Eastern and 6 p.m.
00:10:01.380 central on Rumble dot com slash Lou Dobbs. That's Rumble dot com slash Lou Dobbs. I hope you'll be
00:10:09.860 joining us for Lou Dobbs tonight as our fight to save this country has only begun.
00:10:21.860 We're back with Shea Bradley Farrell. The book is The Last Warning to the West, and we recommend it to you
00:10:27.220 highly. Shea, I want to turn to to that comparison to the United States. I think this audience probably
00:10:34.260 thought at some point we were talking about the United States as you describe the forces at work
00:10:38.180 in the European Union against Victor Orban. It's just it's a shame because I don't think most news media
00:10:48.580 outlets. Well, first of all, they're not covering the issue anyway, but they're certainly not covering
00:10:53.140 the fact that it's international in scope and that there is a linkage between these governments that
00:10:59.540 are European Union and the United States, which is becoming something absolutely stranger than the
00:11:10.580 even the most pessimistic thought would have occurred to most Americans, at least,
00:11:17.860 over the course of the last 10 years. Things are bad and getting worse.
00:11:22.820 They really are, Lou. And I always hate to be a downer, but it's the truth. I mean,
00:11:27.220 in my book, though, I do lay a blueprint forward, which I believe can help pull us out of this mess.
00:11:35.460 It's been called a a very guidebook to successful conservatism, popular based conservatism. Let me
00:11:43.300 just say that. But right now, we have got to fight it because what you said is exactly right. Most
00:11:50.420 Americans don't understand the influence of these international organizations. What happens at the EU,
00:11:59.140 at the UN, at the WHO, filters down into America. This LGBT agenda that we're fighting now, the
00:12:07.620 transgender radical policies. I was fighting this at the UN seven years ago after Obama had left office.
00:12:18.260 This it took some time to trickle into the United States to become this crisis that we're in with our
00:12:25.300 children and our way of life. It's changed the fabric of American society and our corporations. But, you know,
00:12:32.500 and the other thing too, Lou, is we're paying for this nonsense. You know, Biden wants to defund UNRWA.
00:12:39.220 Now, it's a UN agency that is connected to Hamas. Biden has funded it at $1 billion over the past
00:12:48.340 couple of years. This was an agency that Trump defunded. So it's our tax dollars going to these
00:12:55.860 international organizations that do not hold our values. Our values are not in great display in this
00:13:03.380 administration, to say the very least. This administration, unlike any that I have seen,
00:13:09.300 even Obama's administration was somewhat responsive to at least political polling. This is an
00:13:16.740 administration. The Biden administration is indifferent to the American mood, the American
00:13:22.660 side guys. They are in point of fact, attacking nearly every value, every structure of our society,
00:13:34.100 and doing so with glee. We have a wide open border. We have no police protection to speak of in major
00:13:42.340 cities, a crime wave that is rampant. George Soros sponsored DAs are not, you know, you want to
00:13:51.300 want to assault two cops in New York City. No, no bail required. Thanks. And we'll, we'll get back to
00:13:59.700 you later. This is a society in chaos. We have been destabilized in this country. No one wants to say
00:14:05.700 that out loud, but the US is now, it has been destabilized by the left, by the Marxists, by the
00:14:12.900 Democratic Party, by the Biden regime, and the deep state that controls all of the federal government.
00:14:19.780 How in the hell do we fight back against that?
00:14:23.780 It's outrageous, Lou. You are right. I have been down to the border several times since Biden took
00:14:29.060 office, watched them as they took the equipment back that was building the wall, talked to federal
00:14:34.580 and local law enforcement down there that were telling me, this was early on, that we don't quote me,
00:14:40.020 but we've been told to release people crossing illegally. A sheriff told me he had been told to
00:14:46.980 release the human traffickers that he had arrested, excuse me, the human traffickers. Some of them
00:14:54.740 were these middle-aged white men who said, well, we have the support of the president. Why, you know,
00:15:01.060 why are you arresting me? They thought they were political activists. We've got record numbers of
00:15:06.900 people who have died from fentanyl are young people, ages 18 to 45. Our cities are being destroyed. As
00:15:14.100 you said, today, you know, these, or a couple days ago, these illegal immigrants that beat the crap
00:15:20.980 out of New York City law enforcement released without bail, as you said. And I have been trying to let people
00:15:28.420 know that if they support this current border deal that Schumer, McConnell, and Lankford are doing,
00:15:35.300 they're supporting more than more of this. We don't have the text on this deal because it's a bad deal.
00:15:42.180 But what has leaked out is that it would allow five, four to 5,000 illegals a day, which is 150,000 a month,
00:15:51.540 1.8 million a year before expulsion measures kick in. So it would codify Biden's open border policies, Lou.
00:16:02.020 Yeah, it would codify them. I think, by the way, the chance that that'll become law, just about zero,
00:16:10.260 because even the rhino senators are wise to what is going on. James Lankford, the sorry, pathetic
00:16:18.740 fool of a man carrying Mitch McConnell's water. I mean, in the conservative movement in this country,
00:16:27.540 and I am an independent populist conservative, I am so sick of people talking to me about these
00:16:36.660 issues as if the Republican Party is somehow a countervailing force against the Democrat Marxist
00:16:44.100 Party. There is no comparison. The Republicans are effete. They are bereft of original ideas.
00:16:52.660 And right now, if it weren't for Donald Trump, this country would not have leadership at all,
00:16:58.100 at least waiting in the wings and trying, praying that we get to election day, and that when we do,
00:17:05.700 that we'll somehow miraculously have a honest and fair counting of those votes.
00:17:12.100 There are a lot of ifs in this country right now.
00:17:14.420 There are a lot of ifs, Lou, and that's why I'm a praying woman and a faith-filled woman,
00:17:21.140 and why I continue to do what I do, because I love this country. My dad is a retired Marine Corps
00:17:27.300 officer, a Vietnam vet, shot down and in a coma for six weeks. Never thought he was going to be able
00:17:33.060 to have children after that. It wasn't true. I am a patriot all the way, and we have got to save this
00:17:39.460 country. You know, I actually had the privilege of sitting down with President Trump a year before
00:17:46.180 last for about an hour and talking about all these different things you and I are discussing,
00:17:50.980 and it really struck me how much he loves this country. Again, I know everybody has said this,
00:17:58.100 but I said it early on. Ukraine would not have been invaded if he were in office. We would not
00:18:03.860 be dealing with the nonsense that we're dealing with. Hamas wouldn't have attacked.
00:18:07.380 We're going to be talking about the way forward from here. We'll come right back.
00:18:13.780 And the book is The Last Warning for the West. Stay with us. We're coming right back.
00:18:25.060 We're back now with Shea Bradley Farrell. The book is The Last Warning to the West. And I want to just
00:18:32.500 say, because you were talking about the border. Oregon leaders now declaring, this is the first
00:18:38.740 time I've seen any warning from either a state or local jurisdiction about fentanyl. Oregon, which is a
00:18:48.180 bastion of left-wing Marxist fools, declares a 90-day state of emergency in downtown Portland
00:18:56.100 to address their fentanyl crisis. State-owned children, part of the Marxist structure. Montana
00:19:04.900 Child Protective Services medically kidnapped a teenage girl to Wyoming for gender-affirming care.
00:19:13.140 She is also under state protection on her way to Canada, taken away from her family and fully
00:19:21.300 revoking parental authority. Now, that's a complicated story and backstory to this.
00:19:26.340 But the fact that Montana will intercede like that, take a girl from her family and be ready to ship
00:19:33.780 her for transgender care in Canada is beyond anything we thought a government in this country
00:19:43.380 would ever be powerful enough to do without recourse, without response.
00:19:48.740 Absolutely. That is totalitarian behavior. And I go back to what I said. It's straight out of the book,
00:19:55.780 the playbook of Marxism. Part of their goal was to diminish parental rights and to divide children
00:20:03.300 from their families. I had the privilege to interview two men in their late 80s, one in his late 80s,
00:20:11.700 one in his 90s, who were there as children when the Soviets came in. And both, they were in different
00:20:17.860 basements in Budapest during the siege of the Soviets. They were pushing the German occupation out at that
00:20:24.740 time. But both of those men recounted to me the rapes that these soldiers did of the women as a
00:20:31.540 method of war to gain control. And further, told me about how when they were growing up,
00:20:37.380 they were taught one thing in their homes, undercover, and then when they went to school,
00:20:43.540 they had to do something different. They were told what to believe, they had to take crosses off of
00:20:50.180 their walls, their Christian nation, Hungary has been for 1100 years, and put up the faces of the Marxist,
00:20:58.980 communist leaders. They talked about how they were watched for going to church, if they had any kind of
00:21:06.180 religion that they held to. So it's all about the vision, Lou. It's about control. That story that
00:21:13.860 you're telling me there definitely hurts my heart. And this is why I believe that we have to fight back
00:21:21.380 and stand up. Go ahead, go ahead. Yeah, well, let's talk about fighting. Because the NSA has a record of
00:21:30.580 every single phone call, every text, every expression by every citizen in this country.
00:21:39.780 That's just a fact. We also know that the CIA has extraordinary programs that are being run in secret,
00:21:47.460 and that they have capacity to change elections in foreign lands. And one asks, well, why if we have a
00:21:55.700 government that actually tries to frame a sitting president, tries to block him first in his
00:22:03.220 presidential campaign, but then goes after him and tries to overthrow his presidency, subvert his
00:22:10.500 presidency, and I am talking about Donald Trump, and I am talking about the CIA, and I am talking about
00:22:16.820 the FBI, the DOJ, and the intelligence community that lied baldly to the American people throughout that
00:22:24.340 entire process in 2020. How are we to fight that massive, overwhelming power of surveillance, absolute
00:22:33.700 control of our internets, our communications? I mean, they have so much power now. The Marxist
00:22:42.500 Dems are in charge of our government. True. Absolutely true. Lou, I think it is,
00:22:47.780 first of all, in recognizing what you and I are talking about, that it is Marxism. I think the
00:22:54.100 second thing is very practical steps. I don't think it's an overnight solution, because we have almost
00:23:01.860 100 years of Marxism creeping into this country, especially in our institutions. I'll give you some
00:23:08.660 examples. But first, let me say, the DOJ, the FBI, you know, these Trump indictments, they are so much like
00:23:17.140 the show trials of the Soviet Union. And part of my research that I did, I was in a place called the
00:23:24.420 House of Terror in Budapest. This was the headquarters of the Soviet police force while they were there. It was
00:23:31.540 also the headquarters of the Nazi Aero Cross Party when Hitler was occupying Budapest. And the historian
00:23:40.020 was telling me about the show trials. And it's a creepy place to go. But if you want to really understand
00:23:46.020 the impact of communism and Marxism and fascism, it's a great place to go. But I asked this guy, why the
00:23:54.020 communists were in control? I was just in the dungeon. I saw their bloodstains, the political dissidents, bloodstains.
00:24:01.380 Why do they need these show trials? And he said to me, it was to change public opinion. So that that made
00:24:08.260 a lot of sense to me. And Lou, I think the way that we can take back public opinion, like I said,
00:24:15.300 it's not overnight. But we can do more things like have conservative organizations fund them, support them,
00:24:23.860 do more like they have done in Hungary. Conservative private citizens have risen up and bought media
00:24:31.220 companies. They're doing what you're doing to get conservative word out. I have other examples,
00:24:36.580 but I'll let you speak there.
00:24:38.180 Well, we have just a little over a minute here in the show. But let me say, how do we think that
00:24:47.380 all of those dungeons and the Stasi and all of the rest of the secret police throughout the Soviet
00:24:59.380 era? But as it was crumbling, it was being rebuilt here. The DC Gulag, where we have housed
00:25:07.780 so many hundreds and hundreds of hostages, political prisoners of the left, the Marxist left.
00:25:14.660 And we, for three years now, have not been able to free them. We haven't been able to solve that
00:25:22.660 fundamental issue where we, our hearts bleed for our fellow citizens that are entrapped there
00:25:30.020 by a totalitarian Marxist left that had a show trial called the January 6th committee. It was a sham.
00:25:36.500 It was a farce. And we are losing so much every day, control of this country. I don't know that
00:25:45.140 we've got much beyond election day, November 5th, in which to get it right. I don't think we have
00:25:51.940 years. I think we have a matter of months. Your thoughts as we wrap up. I totally agree,
00:25:56.900 Lou. We have to get the right kind of leadership back in. I personally believe that as Donald Trump,
00:26:02.180 because I worked alongside his administration and I saw him do more than any other president during
00:26:07.300 my time anyway, he is the one to fight back against this nonsense. Because as you said,
00:26:14.020 Biden's not even like Obama. Obama cared about polls. I have come to the conclusion that the Biden
00:26:19.780 administration is willfully trying to destroy the country. Other things that you listed are examples
00:26:27.700 of this. So I totally agree. We've got to get, I believe, Trump back into office. And then we have
00:26:34.180 to do these things, though. I also listed them in my book to change the mindset of our children,
00:26:42.020 to take back this country from Marxism. You know, everybody says says that Reagan's quote,
00:26:48.660 but it is so true. We're only one generation away from losing our freedom.
00:26:54.020 Yeah, I think we're just about 10 months away. I really do. I don't see a way out.
00:27:02.420 If the Marxist Dems capture this and retain the House for any period of time and maintain their
00:27:12.180 control of the U.S. Senate and the White House, I think this country is, this republic is absolutely
00:27:19.220 doomed because we haven't shown enough popular will and fight right now to stop any part of this
00:27:27.460 right now that is an assault on everything that is America. Shea Bradley Farrell, we are delighted to
00:27:33.460 have you with us. And we thank you so much. And we want everyone to go out and buy a terrific book,
00:27:39.780 The Last Warning to the West. And I think that all of this together combined, it's a warning we better
