Hello, everybody. I'm Lou Dobbs, and welcome to The Great America Show. Glad to have you with us.
00:00:05.500
I think most of us spend at least a few moments, most days, just shaking our heads at what's
00:00:10.360
happened to our country, certainly what's happening to our government. It's almost
00:00:14.900
unreal when you think Joe Biden is president of the United States, that he's the leader of the
00:00:20.760
free world, so-called, that the Marxist Dems and the deep state are in control of our federal
00:00:26.180
government, all of it, with the possible exception of the Supreme Court. But John Roberts is Chief
00:00:32.520
Justice, and with him as Chief Justice, the Supreme Court is really hanging by a thread, isn't it?
00:00:38.860
Think of it. Those Marxist Dems control the White House, Congress, the Senate, the entire federal
00:00:44.460
bureaucracy, and the Marxist Dems control the deep state as well. The so-called administrative state
00:00:51.240
isn't hiding. It isn't in deep cover. It's right out in the open, persecuting a former president,
00:00:57.900
holding American citizens as political prisoners, trampling all the while our Constitution.
00:01:04.000
Parents can be charged with domestic terrorism if they raise their voices in a school board meeting.
00:01:10.080
Federal prosecutors and persecutors and courts alike seem utterly indifferent to the ideals of
00:01:15.960
justice, American justice, and they act as partisan activists. The FBI, the Department of Justice,
00:01:23.200
the Attorney General, the top law enforcement officer in the country, is acting like a thug,
00:01:28.240
a liar, a gangster, and the FBI and DOJ seem to commit far more crimes than they will ever solve.
00:01:36.200
Merrick Garland is a creepy gangster. I haven't yet truly decided what Bill Barr was. Was he a thug,
00:01:42.340
a corrupt establishment Republican tool, or corrupt to his core? I really don't know. Maybe a little bit
00:01:49.780
of, or a lot of, each of those. But I do know he changed history, and not for the better. He changed
00:01:56.980
history when he refused to tell the nation that Joe Biden was lying through his teeth in the presidential
00:02:02.900
debates, that he was and is corrupt, and now he wants to run for a second term. Isn't that lovely?
00:02:09.940
What are we supposed to say? Sure, why not? This isn't so bad. Corruption everywhere. Impaired
00:02:16.100
leadership isn't terrible, so long as the puppet just does what his masters order him to do.
00:02:21.900
And somehow his absentee foreign policy team can somehow get lucky and avoid a nuclear exchange
00:02:28.540
with Putin's Russia. And maybe we'll also get lucky with the economy that's deteriorating each week.
00:02:34.900
Rampant high inflation global oil producers driving up prices on American consumers because Biden calls
00:02:43.020
Saudi Arabia a pariah. But what about that famous fist bump you ask, really? Fist bumps don't count
00:02:50.080
anymore? What has America come to? We get a lot of great answers to that question each day from
00:02:56.740
justthenews.com, a great news organization founded by John Solomon, their editor-in-chief and CEO and
00:03:03.960
great American. John, great to have you back with us here on the Great America Show. We now know the
00:03:09.700
January 6th committee will not have that promised final report before the election, but they do promise
00:03:16.360
to give us their very best thinking, such as it is. What do you think? Well, think about it. We will go
00:03:24.600
into the 2022 election not knowing what the Democrats actually ultimately found in the 2020 election. My guess
00:03:30.380
is they didn't find the sort of headlines that they were looking for. Hence, they're just going to kick
00:03:34.900
it to after the election. By the way, it could die too, because if they don't get it out before the end
00:03:38.940
of the year and House Republicans take over next year, they very well could dissolve that committee.
00:03:43.420
We might never see its findings. But we've known there's been all sorts of problems with it. Let's go
00:03:48.540
back to a year ago. I broke the story that they had accused Bernie Kerik, the former NYPD commissioner,
00:03:54.040
of being in a meeting on January 5th to plot the overthrow of the election the next day in Washington,
00:03:58.940
D.C. It turns out, because I got his phone records and toll booth records, he was in New York. He wasn't
00:04:03.920
even in here. They had to apologize to him. We go into the famous testimony of Hutchinson, the young
00:04:09.200
White House aide who says President Trump grabbed the steering wheel of the limousine and commentared it to the
00:04:15.900
Capitol. And the Secret Service said, well, first off, Hutchinson wasn't there. Cassidy Hutchinson wasn't even
00:04:20.400
there. And two, it's not true. It's disinformation. The hearing, the January 6th panel has
00:04:25.940
repeatedly had those sort of muffs and fluffs all throughout. They would rush out with something
00:04:30.980
before checking their facts. And I think, ultimately, they did a lot of discredit to
00:04:34.860
themselves. And you can see what happens. The hearing ratings go way down. The news coverage
00:04:40.240
of it goes down. It lost its theme. It lost its credibility. And while there are very important
00:04:46.120
issues to resolve from January 6th, most importantly, how did a $600 million a year police force,
00:04:51.680
which reported directly to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, not be able to stop a group of yahoos
00:04:57.460
who stormed the Capitol? By the way, they weren't organized terrorists. They weren't
00:05:01.380
anything of a nation-state type attack like we had on 9-11. So how did that happen? And that hasn't
00:05:10.500
been focused on for one minute in these hearings. That's a public interest. We all ought to learn that,
00:05:15.080
fortify the Capitol better. You're not going to get that from Benny Thompson or Liz Cheney or Jamie
00:05:20.440
Raskin or that crowd, Adam Schiff. But next year, I expect the House Republicans, they've been doing
00:05:25.740
an enormous amount of work. My understanding is they have text messages showing exactly
00:05:30.160
what Nancy Pelosi's team knew and when they knew it. And I would expect that to come out soon,
00:05:35.020
even if the Democrats fail to get their information out.
00:05:38.640
Let me ask you, do you expect Nancy Pelosi to retire?
00:05:42.180
You know, there have been these reports that she's thinking about going to Italy next year,
00:05:46.580
particularly if the Republicans are in control. She just made a trip to Italy.
00:05:49.740
She gave us an interview over the weekend saying, that's hogwash, it's not going to happen.
00:05:55.020
We'll see. I think there's a strong possibility that if Democrats are in the minority again in the
00:06:00.700
House, that she'll step aside and let a younger generation. One of the remarkable things about
00:06:04.780
the House Democrats is you see it, Benny Thompson, Steny Hoyer, Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden, they're all very
00:06:12.620
old. They're all 75 to 80, 85. And there's very little young blood in the party that can connect to the
00:06:18.940
next generation or have the energy. I think there could be a significant changing of the guard
00:06:23.740
in January if Democrats lose. I think you'll see some of the newer, younger members of the party
00:06:29.420
step into leadership positions for the first time.
00:06:32.920
Yeah. And with Nancy Pelosi, I think a lot will depend on the extradition treaties of the countries
00:06:39.020
that she selects, I would assume. Let's turn to the Mar-a-Lago raid controversy. The National
00:06:49.840
Archives nominee that Biden had chosen goes down in flames. Absolutely a pathetic choice of any,
00:06:57.860
I mean, no matter what was going on with Mar-a-Lago, the National Archives, the woman was a complete and
00:07:04.780
utter and competent. And it was transparently so, vividly observable. And yet here we are. More of it,
00:07:15.920
they don't care who they're put where, because you know what, they're just going to do what they're
00:07:19.460
told, and they're going to try to wreak as much havoc on America as they can. Don't you, your thoughts?
00:07:25.700
Well, listen, the National Archives, I think, is part of that leading edge of the left's takeover
00:07:31.980
of what used to be institutions that we all enjoyed, that we all can share regardless of
00:07:36.880
our political beliefs. As you know, I think it was about a year ago we broke this story about the
00:07:41.440
Archives putting warning labels on some of our founding documents that they might be harmful
00:07:46.100
or trigger you, like the Constitution. Can you imagine that? The Constitution being harmful
00:07:49.840
in this new left world that has taken over institutions like the FBI, the National Archives,
00:07:55.540
all of these universities, including the universities working with the government to censor content
00:08:00.380
during the 2020 election, a story we had last week. There is a derision of the American experience,
00:08:06.800
a derision of our history, a derision of our Bill of Rights and our Constitution, and the values that
00:08:12.860
made the country what it is. And the Archives is just one of those places long before the Donald Trump
00:08:18.120
raid. There was already these warnings and other signs that this is a group of liberals running
00:08:27.980
in these institutions. They actually called some of our founding documents, this isn't my word,
00:08:33.100
this is their word, potentially harmful content. Think about that. The Declaration of Independence
00:08:38.180
or the Constitution being considered by a government agency to be potentially harmful content. Long
00:08:44.920
before the Mar-a-Lago raid, I think NARA showed its covers.
00:08:48.320
The Ministry of Truth was already in existence, wasn't it? Over there in the National Archives.
00:08:54.380
Unbelievable. And what is, to me, just unthinkable is that the Democratic Party doesn't have a single
00:09:04.500
solitary soul who has the common sense, the decency, the integrity to say, this is absurd what you're
00:09:12.720
doing here. They are of one voice, one mind, one perspective, and one value. They are Marxists,
00:09:20.120
and they are going to adhere to one another. They're going to be as cohesive as is imaginable
00:09:28.020
around anything that is, it is their agenda, irrespective of how mad it is. I never thought
00:09:36.720
we'd get to really this point, but we are there, aren't we? We are. Listen, there's one interesting
00:09:41.500
Democrat to watch. I have been amazed as a reporter at her metamorphosis, but Tulsi Gabbard,
00:09:47.340
Statt stood on the stage in 2020, ran against Joe Biden, tried to win the presidential nomination
00:09:52.660
for the Democratic Party. Since that time, she has become a clarion voice against all that the
00:09:58.560
Democratic Party stands for. Her speech at CPAC in February on the erosion of the First Amendment
00:10:05.200
under President Biden, under Democrats, one of the most extraordinary speeches I've seen given in
00:10:10.200
the last 10 years. There's a single Democrat, just think about that, a single Democrat in an entire
00:10:15.260
movement objecting. Everybody else is going along for this ride, and I think that's why Americans,
00:10:21.040
when they go to the poll in November, they're going to be voting for more than just this election.
00:10:25.400
They're going to be voting, I think, in their own minds for what sort of nation we're going to be
00:10:31.000
for the next 5, 10, or 20 years. Are we going to be a nation where our debt goes to $50 trillion?
00:10:36.360
Are we going to be a nation where free speech has been censored? Are we going to be a nation where
00:10:41.320
we tantalize with nuclear war with Vladimir Putin? All these questions are on the front line.
00:10:47.700
Are we going to keep our borders open or lose the entire security of our borders? Are we going to
00:10:51.680
let bad criminals out and keep creating crime? Are we going to ruin the greatest free market economy
00:10:57.520
ever created in the world? This election is really not just about what candidates we're electing in
00:11:02.580
November. It is what sort of country we want America to be for the next 5, 10, 20, 25 years.
00:11:07.820
That's why I think Democrats are going to fare so poorly. I think voters are looking bigger than
00:11:13.420
just the next two years. And I also, I worry about this, John, because on its face, this should not
00:11:21.620
be close. And we look at the generic vote in Congress, and it's four points, it's five points,
00:11:30.440
given what we know, the toxicity, the corruption, the criminality of the Democratic Party and its
00:11:43.360
Marxist Dems leaders, a puppet president who is nothing more than a prop, Kamala Harris, a vice
00:11:48.660
president who is bewildering in her befuddlement. And we have a country that's trying to pretend that
00:11:57.580
this is all just perfectly normal, that it's okay to have a president who doesn't know what
00:12:02.100
the hell he's doing or where he is or how to get to where he should be.
00:12:10.840
And being somewhat irritated when they don't quickly respond.
00:12:14.140
It's stunning stuff. And who has the temerity to, if you will, prod Vladimir Putin as if we're
00:12:25.700
going to go to, that famous line with Slim Pickens in Dr. Strangelove, as if we're going to go toe-to-toe
00:12:33.320
in nuclear combat with the Ruskies. He is out of his mind. But you know what? There's an entire
00:12:40.480
cadre around him that are equally so. And everyone watching this stage performance at 1600 Pennsylvania
00:12:49.560
pretending this is normal, that there's nothing amiss, whether it's the national media, which is
00:12:56.360
paid to do so, that is, notice when things are amiss, or whether it's someone at home watching this
00:13:03.320
unfold. This is a time of sheer psychotic break, in my opinion, in this nation's history.
00:13:13.400
Yeah. And you know, the good news is I think the men and women in the middle, silent majority,
00:13:18.600
as Ronald Reagan once called them, I think they are not been fooled at all by this. And I think the
00:13:25.020
great lesson that elitists are going to learn in the next couple of elections is you think you're
00:13:29.340
fooling American people, you're never going to fool them. They're smarter, swifter, and they can see
00:13:33.260
BS a mile away. And they can also see when something is amiss in just how we're approaching
00:13:39.500
everyday governance. When Kamala Harris on Friday suggested that maybe hurricanes were racist,
00:13:45.220
and that emergency relief would be dealt with on an equity basis, as opposed to a need basis,
00:13:53.200
I think most Americans said, what? When did disasters become a race issue? And I
00:13:59.200
think that these little subliminal things, which a lot of the elitists think slip by Americans who
00:14:04.740
are too busy or too stupid, that's their view of it, not mine. I think they're accumulating in the
00:14:09.980
minds of Americans. And I think the payback, the boomerang for the last couple of years of policies
00:14:17.220
and spending and race victimization is going to come back in a big way and really be spelled out in
00:14:25.420
an election result. And there was a great moment Friday night where two places where I think
00:14:29.540
Americans are winning. The ballot box are going to win by expressing their opinion. And the courts
00:14:34.560
continue and continue to rectify silly instances. I'll just give you one great example Friday in
00:14:41.760
Georgia. Stacey Abrams built a national franchise, by the way, great wealth for herself, tens of millions
00:14:48.560
of dollars of fundraising on the notion that Georgia was at the center of a 21st century Jim Crow voting
00:14:55.180
system, a racist voting system. Not even an Obama appointed judge could buy into that. She got her
00:15:01.960
trial and the judge rejected all of her accounts at her fair fight organization, rejected every concept
00:15:09.220
that Georgia somehow was inherently racist because it required voter ID or citizenship checks.
00:15:14.700
So there is some sanity being inserted into this equation by the American people by voting and by
00:15:20.900
the courts, which are trying to follow the rule of law, not the rule of Joe Biden.
00:15:25.980
It is a hopeful sign. But at the same time, I have to be a little retrograde. But if all of that's true,
00:15:35.720
how in the world did we end up with Warnock, for example, in 2020? How in the world did we end up
00:15:45.100
with Joe Biden in the White House? Because he was every bit the pitiful sop of a fool that he is now
00:15:55.420
then. And no one had ever seen him with a crowd. No one had ever seen any particular excitement about
00:16:01.920
the fact that Joe Biden was going to run or it was running. Yeah, you know, it's a great question.
00:16:07.440
I think we will look back at 2020 and the start of the pandemic and realize that the misinformation,
00:16:13.740
disinformation campaign wasn't the conservatives or the everyday Americans. It was the democratic
00:16:18.420
machinery that restrained information using the power of government, using the power of big tech and
00:16:24.380
using the power of news media and using the power of its own political party. When you look at what
00:16:29.940
happened starting in 2016 with Russia collusion, then 2020 with the 100 Biden laptop and with a lot
00:16:34.980
of the COVID narratives, the Democrats, the news media, the big tech titans worked together with the
00:16:41.260
United States government, the permanent bureaucracies, which now lean left, by the way, in many of these
00:16:46.660
institutions. And they restrained freedom. They restrained information. They changed the rules of the
00:16:52.500
election. And we know from Americans who've woken up to this reality that when they're told, if you had
00:16:58.240
known about the 100 Biden laptop, what it contained, would you have voted differently? And overwhelmingly,
00:17:02.280
they say yes. That was carried out by big tech, big media, big Democrats, and a big bureaucracy.
00:17:10.220
And I think that we'll look back and that's probably the end verdict that history will give to the 2020
00:17:15.800
election. But 2022 looks to be a course correction, a repudiation, a rejection of the things that went on
00:17:22.380
in 2020. We see it in the change of laws. We see it in the shift of Hispanics to Republicans. We see the
00:17:28.700
return of suburban moms who say, you're not going to be poisoning my children with that crap in our
00:17:33.100
schools. And I think 2022, if it keeps the trend lines we're seeing now, will be the ultimate course
00:17:38.840
correction to 2020. And there'll be a large message delivered to all parties about where America still
00:17:44.640
stands on these issues. Well, I hope I hope you're right. But at the same time, and again, you know, I take out
00:17:52.600
and just the news on Biden using taxpayer dollars. Oh, yeah. To boost boost Democrat turnout. In other words,
00:18:02.360
replacing with government money, taxpayer money, government power, resources and manpower and throwing it at the
00:18:13.140
2022 midterm election. And the Republicans are complaining about it. But as usual, have no solution
00:18:21.260
or counter bailing power to change the outcome whatsoever. I mean, your thoughts on how in the
00:18:30.060
world this could proceed. This is federal money. This is federal government money. It's federal government
00:18:35.600
resources. This has to be against the law. Well, that's going to be a great question to see litigated.
00:18:42.500
And we're seeing some early litigation now starting to crop up where the great inroads have been made
00:18:47.300
in election integrity. By the way, have been there have been some made, but they're usually not made by
00:18:51.600
the Republican Party. I think you have your figure right on the pulse. They're the last of the Johnny
00:18:55.740
come lately. But there are private groups, you know, that are out there that are suing in Wisconsin.
00:19:01.620
There's been an extraordinary legal counterattack on all of the silliness that the Wisconsin Election
00:19:07.720
Commission, the Evers administration, has done. Starting with the idea that they put out mobile
00:19:12.980
ballot boxes. There was no legal provision to put mobile boxes out. They've been declared unlawful.
00:19:18.020
When they were declared unlawful, some of the Democratic counties wouldn't withdraw the permission.
00:19:22.840
And so these determined legal activists, by the way, just lawyers and nonprofit groups,
00:19:28.020
they went and forced every county that wouldn't acknowledge that ballot boxes, mobile ballot boxes were
00:19:33.220
legal, and they forced them to get decrees. That's the sort of determination you would expect the Republicans
00:19:38.620
to have. They don't have it. But private groups are doing this. Same thing in Pennsylvania. There's been
00:19:43.800
some good litigation. In Michigan, there's been some good litigation. Arizona, the legislature put in some
00:19:49.560
significant reforms. Some of them have been delayed to 2024. But there are a lot of the issues that Democrats
00:19:56.560
got away with in 2020. By the way, no work of the National Republican Party. But at the state level and with
00:20:02.760
activists, good wins that I think preserve American election integrity better than we had in 2020.
00:20:09.420
Well, let's pray so. What we're witnessing is, again, chilling and deeply disturbing because there is,
00:20:19.760
as you say, there is a wave election. Poll after poll confirms that.
00:20:24.580
Of what's happening, tabula rasa. It is another question of what the subversives will do in the
00:20:37.240
Democratic Party. And I don't think there is any limit to it. I want to get to one other issue,
00:20:42.240
if I may, very quickly here. And that is a judge, Aileen Cannon, who has been remarkable in her,
00:20:50.800
in her, I think, legal reasoning, her adherence to law, and her fearlessness in going up against
00:20:58.720
the U.S. Justice Department, which is intimidating in tone and action. It is really quite something to
00:21:06.840
see the Justice Department and the FBI, but the Justice Department absolutely not hesitant to bully
00:21:16.400
a district court judge. And that's where we are. And she, by the way, has so far met that
00:21:24.680
that steel with granite. Your thoughts on where we're headed now as they are trying to get an
00:21:32.180
appeal through to break her control on the case? Yeah, I think it's going to end up in the Supreme
00:21:37.980
Court. And I think the Supreme Court ultimately will side with the judge because the judge has
00:21:42.360
authority. They're going to say she's the person closest to the facts. And she's made rulings that
00:21:47.980
are consistent with the law. And there's no reason for us to intervene anymore. It is interesting to
00:21:53.040
watch the Justice Department try to bowl over really serious concerns like executive privilege or
00:22:01.540
the right to privacy. Even though you're a former president doesn't mean you are given some lesser set
00:22:08.080
of rights and everyday Americans, the Justice Department's position is we don't really care
00:22:12.520
about these issues. We just want to get what we want to get. And I think this judge is saying that's
00:22:17.260
not what our founding fathers want. That's not what the Constitution says. And President Trump's entitled
00:22:21.640
to the same constitutional protection as every other American. And I'm not going to be swayed by
00:22:27.640
your bully tactics. And she has gone. She even reigned in her own special master who got outside of
00:22:33.760
his job assignment to say, hey, hey, I didn't tell you to go do that. Get back in line. And so you're
00:22:38.320
right. Judge Cannon has has been a remarkable new story to cover the first counterbalance to what has
00:22:45.720
been a one sided story and a one sided set of actions by the Justice Department. I think the place we all
00:22:51.040
should be watching will be the Supreme Court, what where the Supreme Court comes down on these very
00:22:57.500
important issues of a search and seizure of executive privilege of power given to the president
00:23:04.060
and the Constitution. Well, the Supreme Court, I think, is going to be the ultimate arbiter on this
00:23:09.060
dispute. It is it does seem to be one dispute, unlike going back to 2020, for example, where it
00:23:17.240
abated every every effort to get involved in that election and could, I think, answered many of the
00:23:25.160
questions and resolve many of the conflicts in that election and answered any of the questions
00:23:30.320
by choosing not to this time. I don't see an easy way out for them. And I also, frankly, don't see how
00:23:39.020
this can end any other way than with a Justice Department that is both brought to heel and
00:23:49.020
including the special master appointed by Judge Cannon. Judge Deary is out of his mind making rules
00:24:00.360
about what the what the plaintiffs have to do procedurally outside the issue for the special
00:24:08.540
master suggesting here's the timeline. And if you've got anything that would prove that you're not guilty of
00:24:15.020
of everything I'm thinking of, that you are in trouble. It's just it's a monstrous abuse of power.
00:24:25.360
It really is. Lou, I've been really watching Judge Deary. And it's interesting. I guess he forgot that he's
00:24:30.680
not on the bench anymore. And so he was making judge like decisions where he was really supposed to be an
00:24:36.540
independent arbiter. And I think that's where Judge Cannon said, hey, I'm the judge. You're not the judge
00:24:41.720
anymore. Stick to the stick to the mandate. It was a very interesting guidance to him and strong
00:24:48.260
guidance. And I think that is the sort of court intervention that we're going to see in some of
00:24:54.640
these key cases, whether it's related to search and seizure, the election rules. I think the courts
00:24:59.600
have told us one very important thing, something that I'm not sure the Republican National Committee
00:25:03.600
has picked up on yet, but I think many other activists had. The courts have made clear now we're not
00:25:09.100
going to referee an election dispute after the vote's been cast. If you got a problem, come to us
00:25:14.600
before the election and we'll resolve it then. And I think you see that with their ruling in Arizona where
00:25:19.580
they upheld the ballot harvesting law. They're glad to uphold laws and knock down Democratic tactics
00:25:27.020
before the vote is going to occur, but not after the vote's been occurred. They're not going to do another
00:25:31.800
Bush v. Gore. It's pretty clear that's the message they're sending. What does that mean? It means Republican
00:25:36.860
activists. It means election integrity experts need to find the problems before the election and go to
00:25:43.040
court before election day, not do what the Republican National Committee did, which is wait until after
00:25:47.780
the election and say, oh, I can't believe they made all those changes. The answer is they were occurring
00:25:51.760
in front of you. You allegedly had an army of lawyers. You should have done it before the election.
00:25:56.480
And in this election, we are seeing private election groups, particularly in Wisconsin, Michigan.
00:26:01.740
They are doing the right work. And you're seeing secretaries of states like Georgia and Arizona,
00:26:07.620
the Attorney General Secretary of State, they're winning cases before the election,
00:26:11.200
like what happened in Georgia on Friday. That's going to be the way the courts are going to exercise
00:26:15.740
their power. And no one should sit on their hauntes and wait to after the election. If you see something,
00:26:20.800
challenge it now. Don't wait to the day after the election. That's the message the courts have given.
00:26:28.060
You know, I think it's even better common sense that if you have to tell lawyers to try to stop harm
00:26:36.180
before it's committed, we've got an in-bank meaning of stupid. I can't imagine it. But as we all know,
00:26:48.640
not all the attorneys are as smart as, for example, you and me. And more is the pity, don't you think?
00:26:54.640
Yeah, listen, I think that there's a moment where common sense is really all the American people are
00:27:01.740
demanding of everybody in power. Just be common sense like we are. And I think that those who
00:27:06.680
aren't are going to get cast aside in these next couple elections. And those that are,
00:27:10.420
are going to be put into power and said, hey, fix this mess that Washington got us into. But
00:27:15.980
common sense is the word that when I go out outside of the Beltway and I get to meet people for a day or
00:27:21.580
to, I hear it all the time, why don't we use common sense? This is so much common sense. Why
00:27:25.340
can't we just do common sense things? That is where the American public's head is right now. They want
00:27:29.720
common sense people. And it's common sense that if you saw something before the election, challenge
00:27:34.480
it. Don't wait to after the election. It's common sense that we should have our border closed. It's
00:27:38.120
common sense that we shouldn't let violent offenders back on the street within 24 hours of committing a
00:27:42.540
heinous crime. Americans know it. And they're actually now going to be on a mission to seek out
00:27:48.220
political leaders who are going to apply that common sense to action. And I think
00:27:52.080
when people look back at the election of 2022, there are going to be two questions.
00:27:56.740
People answer the question, are you better off than you were two years ago? Hell no, we aren't.
00:28:00.880
And two, we want leaders that are going to do common sense thing. And if you don't want to do common
00:28:04.920
sense thing, you're fired. And you know, with a big, heaping, healthy serving of respect for the
00:28:13.720
governed. I would really like to see a lot of that on the menu as well.
00:28:20.800
Yes, it would. In some respect for both law and order. Just respect, I think, is probably a good
00:28:29.380
place to start. John, as we wrap up here, I want to just ask you, what are you working on that you
00:28:35.740
can share with us at this point? What do you see as the next big story?
00:28:39.420
So I've been working the last few days, and we had a couple of stories that broke Friday and
00:28:43.220
Saturday on this, about this censorship machinery that was put together in 2020. And by the way,
00:28:50.500
it's underway and working right now in the 2022 election. We got the internal document showing
00:28:55.340
what they bragged they achieved. The United States government, federal agencies, were able to file
00:29:00.300
tickets with a private entity saying, I want that URL censored. I want that tweet censored. I want that
00:29:04.860
sentiment censored. And they outsource censorship to this private entity called the Election Integrity
00:29:11.800
Partnership. And the group was made up of a couple of liberal universities, Stanford and University of
00:29:17.660
Washington, a social media company, and a entity tied to the Atlantic Council, which leans left on
00:29:24.520
foreign policy. They went out and they canceled all sorts of content on the internet. Just think,
00:29:31.040
these are the numbers from their report bragging about what they achieved. They targeted 4,900 URLs,
00:29:37.460
20 news sites, 29 influencers, and had an impact on 22 million tweets in four months leading into an
00:29:46.600
out of the 2020 election. And they're back in business now, now funded by the federal government.
00:29:51.920
Last time the government just gave them the idea of what the censor, this time they've actually given
00:29:55.680
the money. That is an anathema to all our founding fathers fought for for free speech. We're going
00:30:02.220
to continue to follow the story. We're getting new documents every day. Tomorrow we're going to break
00:30:06.120
a story about Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, how she was censored. That's an important thing
00:30:11.060
because there's a separation of powers whenever you're targeting a Congresswoman-elect or Congresswoman,
00:30:16.420
the federal government, the executive branch targeting the congressional branch. We're going to dig
00:30:20.280
into all of that over the next few days. But one of the great, in fact, the greatest censorship
00:30:25.220
machine ever constructed in American history. And we know the number one name on that list,
00:30:32.420
President Donald J. Trump. You got that right. All right. We'll look forward to it, John, as always.
00:30:38.720
