00:00:00.000 Do you believe that a mistake was made here, though, to have this conversation,
00:00:06.560 to add a reporter, and to have it on an unsupported, unclassified group setting?
00:00:13.420 Okay, Linda, I've just told you, I've just answered the question.
00:00:15.560 I wasn't a part of it, and I'm not going to speculate more than what the president's already talked about,
00:00:19.420 and those who've been involved have talked about it, but we'd love to talk about the veterans.
00:00:23.440 Yeah, and I do have questions about the veterans, but given what we saw with the group chat
00:00:28.160 and how this was used, you are a member of the cabinet.
00:00:30.800 You obviously know these other members, several of them who were in there.
00:00:34.340 Is this typical for the cabinet to have conversations over a signal?
00:00:37.960 Is this something that you use?
00:00:40.420 Well, Kalen, Senator, you undoubtedly do not want to talk about the VA.
00:00:43.680 I have a question as VA secretary.
00:00:46.040 It's cabinet, I want to ask you, because I've been curious about this,
00:00:48.740 because my job is to take care of veterans, and I would like to know why CNN is hostile to veterans,
00:00:53.480 especially one in Florida where you just had a $5 million defamation suit.
00:00:57.420 Taking offense at a veteran who was trying to help people.
00:01:01.280 In fact, one of your employees actually said, we're going to nail him.
00:01:04.980 I have a question for you, Kalen.
00:01:06.540 Is that employee still employed?
00:01:08.160 Are you really concerned about veterans?
00:01:10.340 So if we don't want to talk about veterans now, you want to talk about everything else,
00:01:13.240 I'd like to hear from CNN as the veteran cabinet secretary why CNN seems to have a problem with veterans.
00:01:20.240 Well, Mr. Secretary, respectfully, my question was about whether or not you as a member of the cabinet use this.
00:01:26.360 And respectfully, I'm conducting the investigation.
00:01:28.840 And I do have a lot of questions for you on veterans affairs, but I don't think it would be unwarranted to ask if you as a member of the cabinet.
00:01:36.260 If you want to continue this like this, that's fine.
00:01:40.580 But there are VA employees who are working very hard.
00:01:43.620 There are veterans who get their care from the VA, and they get their benefits from the VA.
00:01:47.500 And it does me no good to speculate on something that I've already asked and answered.
00:01:51.140 So I've asked and answered your question.
00:01:53.000 Why don't you answer mine?
00:01:54.160 Are you still – is this person still employed who said they were going to nail one of my veterans?
00:01:59.060 Who you had to do a $5 million award for a jury because of defamation, and then you settled the case.
00:02:04.240 Answer my question.
00:02:06.380 Respectfully, sir, I'm asking the questions here, and I have no involvement in my reference in there.
00:02:11.320 But if you don't want to answer the question of whether or not –
00:02:14.320 Smug, pompous, arrogant.
00:02:18.100 Hello, everybody, and welcome to The Great America Show.
00:02:20.260 It's great to have you with us today.
00:02:22.140 I'm sorry for putting you through that two minutes of Caitlin Collins, CNN's – one of their lowest-rated shows.
00:02:28.140 Folks, just to put into perspective on how bad CNN has fallen off, Fox News dominates the top 13 spots in all of cable news,
00:02:36.880 their highest-rated show bringing in about 4.7 million viewers a night.
00:02:41.320 Followed by about 4.2 million and then down to threes – into the three millions.
00:02:46.420 One of their lowest-rated shows still doing 2 million people, and that's a show at like 5 o'clock in the morning.
00:02:52.700 Caitlin Collins is barely pulling in a half a million people to watch her each and every night. 0.99
00:02:59.420 This is a woman making millions of dollars who has an audience less than this podcast and the podcast of many other friends of mine. 0.97
00:03:06.180 It's quite embarrassing that a multi-billion-dollar corporation, you can't garner an audience of 500,000 people.
00:03:14.840 Now, it's not just that she's a Marxist and people are tuning out because MSNBC, Rachel Maddow, or Mark Cuban, as I like to call her, is still putting up 2 million people.
00:03:24.440 She found 2 million Marxists to tune into her show each and every night.
00:03:29.400 Lawrence O'Donnell, still doing over a million viewers.
00:03:34.500 I mean, Ari Melber, still doing over a million viewers.
00:03:37.820 Chris Hayes, the penguin-looking dude, still doing over a million viewers.
00:03:41.560 Even Jen Psaki doing about a million viewers. 0.68
00:03:44.440 Joy Reid, who was fired, was doing about a million viewers.
00:03:46.760 So, morning Joe, doing about 700,000.
00:03:52.600 It's because the people don't like her.
00:03:54.660 Nobody can resonate with her.
00:03:57.600 I mean, she's so out of touch with reality, and she's got this chip on her shoulder that she's got to prove who she is. 0.99
00:04:04.720 And you've got to know who she is.
00:04:06.660 And you've got to love and respect her.
00:04:09.460 People don't care.
00:04:10.360 You folks tune into me each and every day, each and every night, and I'm sure I piss you off at times, and you probably turn me off.
00:04:20.000 The next day, you come back and say, I hope he's better today.
00:04:23.760 This woman does the same mistake every single night. 1.00
00:04:28.600 She pisses off an audience. 1.00
00:04:31.280 People tune into news.
00:04:32.340 They want to enjoy it.
00:04:33.420 And we try to make this as fun and practical and as entertaining as possible while still giving you the news.
00:04:40.460 And that's why you folks, I believe, tune in.
00:04:42.960 You tune in to listen to my commentary.
00:04:44.720 You tune in to Lou Dobbs for some people 30, 40 years to listen to his commentary because you respect our opinions.
00:04:53.160 You want to hear what we have to say.
00:04:55.460 But these people, you tune in to Caitlin Collins, and they badger you.
00:04:59.160 This is how you have to think.
00:05:00.840 This is what you have to believe in.
00:05:03.420 The people don't want to hear that.
00:05:05.240 We hear that enough in our everyday lives from the government telling us what we have to do.
00:05:09.420 Pay your taxes on this day.
00:05:11.980 Pay your property taxes this day.
00:05:14.340 This amount of money will be taken out of your paycheck this week and next week and the week following and the week following.
00:05:19.620 We deal with it enough on a daily basis, being told what to do by our bosses.
00:05:25.080 We don't need to tune in to Caitlin Collins each and every night for her to be telling us what we have to do.
00:05:33.640 So if CNN wants to pay me a lot of money, I'll gladly bring this show over there and go be an editor-in-chief over there and teach them how to not piss off an audience.
00:05:47.640 I did an executive producing for Lou for years.
00:05:52.160 It's very easy not to do.
00:05:54.620 Don't piss off the audience.
00:05:55.920 It was the number one rule Lou always taught me.
00:05:58.980 Do not piss off your audience because they never forget.
00:06:02.760 Apparently, Caitlin Collins has done just that. 0.85
00:06:04.960 Speaking of editor-in-chief, I asked our good friend John Solomon to join us today.
00:06:09.300 John Solomon has been working on the Crossfire Hurricane documents.
00:06:13.040 Those are the Russiagate documents preface to opening that fraud investigation into President Trump for Russiagate.
00:06:19.860 He's been working on it for four plus years, five years almost.
00:06:24.240 And we're finally now getting the documents.
00:06:27.580 President Trump declassifying them once again after declassifying them in 2021.
00:06:32.960 Solomon got those documents, but then were taken back quickly than just hours of being given those documents.
00:06:39.500 So President Trump declassifying those documents now.
00:06:43.340 John Solomon joins us today to discuss.
00:06:46.400 John, thanks so much for joining us back here on The Great America Show.
00:06:48.920 I truly appreciate it.
00:06:49.900 I want to start with a little nostalgia, if we can, before we get into the top story, in my opinion, of the week.
00:06:58.300 Good evening, everybody.
00:06:59.740 Dramatic new developments to report this evening.
00:07:03.120 First, President Trump is declassifying top secret documents all related to Obamagate.
00:07:10.180 That is the coordinated and years-long spying against a presidential candidate and ultimately the president of the United States and his administration, that of Donald J. Trump.
00:07:23.640 We'll have the shocking details.
00:07:25.500 Just the News Editor-in-Chief, John Solomon, will join us on this important story here this evening.
00:07:33.880 How much we miss Lou.
00:07:38.380 Every day.
00:07:39.260 That was January 14th, John, 2021.
00:07:42.340 Yeah.
00:07:42.680 You guys were talking about the crossfire hurricane documents.
00:07:45.680 Now, I want to go a little bit further.
00:07:47.180 We've got one more clip before we get into it that I'll roll for you.
00:07:50.400 It's a short one.
00:07:51.000 Take a listen to Lou's response.
00:07:53.800 Now, John, this is almost over four years ago.
00:07:56.460 Yeah.
00:07:57.060 And now we're finally getting these documents again.
00:07:58.640 But take a listen.
00:07:59.500 Unnecessary.
00:08:00.480 This was an attempt to overthrow the president.
00:08:02.900 This was an attempt to align the entire FBI with Russian intelligence objectives and missions.
00:08:12.480 And this should result not in a discussion about, you know, the unseemliness of a sordidly politically corrupt officialdom of the FBI under President Obama.
00:08:24.640 It should be about a sinister cabal operating in the intelligence agencies, the FBI, and the Justice Department to overthrow a president.
00:08:35.260 And we have been talking about, we have not been talking about the wrong things, but our leadership in Washington has been talking about the wrong things and feeding us pablum when, in point of fact, they are refusing to bring these people to justice.
00:08:54.560 And I say refusing.
00:08:55.960 This is outrageous that we're having this discussion in 2020.
00:09:00.800 It's just outrageous.
00:09:04.000 We're talking about four years ago.
00:09:07.940 Yeah, no, it's taken a very long time.
00:09:09.900 And part of the reason is the FBI and the intelligence community are very good at obfuscating and hiding the truth, whether they redact things, claim they're classified, falsified documents, which they did in this case.
00:09:20.940 They have done a good job.
00:09:22.880 John, I apologize for making you watch a video of yourself.
00:09:25.540 I know how awkward that would be at times.
00:09:27.160 But like I said, this is four years ago to the day.
00:09:30.100 The Crossfire Hurricane documents now somehow being redeclassified after they were already declassified, given to you January 14th, 2021.
00:09:41.080 How do we find ourselves, John, in this situation?
00:09:44.060 Well, yeah.
00:09:44.460 So let me give you this scenario, because I swore this out in a court case, because I've been fighting for four years in court, spending money to try to get these documents the way President Trump intended them to be, which was to be fully available to the American public.
00:09:57.320 So President Trump, he announced to me or told me on the 14th that he would be declassifying them.
00:10:03.380 We broke that story, went on Lou.
00:10:04.720 That was that first clip.
00:10:06.160 Then late on the night of the 19th, January 19th, the day before President Trump left office in 2021, the White House called me and said that they would give me an embargoed set of the documents and that I could make them public as soon as the president left office.
00:10:19.360 It's like a 12 or 1 p.m. I think it was.
00:10:21.740 And so a group of young staffers on my team stayed through the night, went to go pick up the documents and and they were going to scan them in.
00:10:31.740 And when the embargo left to do it about an hour after that, the White House called back.
00:10:36.060 And when you agree to embargo, you're stuck to the terms of the embargo and ask for the documents to be returned because there was a problem.
00:10:41.820 They'd be getting back in the morning.
00:10:42.940 We didn't get them back in the morning.
00:10:44.740 Now, I was very fortunate, separate of the White House.
00:10:47.840 I had a source in law enforcement who picked the top five or 10 things that were being declassified and they sent them to me in a separate envelope.
00:10:58.160 And I was able that night on Lou and on Sean and the next morning to break some of the early documents that are probably the most important.
00:11:05.240 I think of the things the president declassified, I probably got the most important ones.
00:11:09.280 The Christopher Steele interview with the FBI a year later, where he acknowledged all the things we now know he acknowledged the work of Stefan Halper.
00:11:21.200 And in fact, Stefan Halper's documents that I made public has become part of litigation because someone claims to have been smeared by him.
00:11:28.260 And the case is pretty well made in these documents.
00:11:31.280 So we got a lot of the good stuff.
00:11:32.880 There is one thing that I got a copy of that night that was not satisfying to me, and that is the fourth and final FISA warrant.
00:11:40.480 So the one that extended it one more time into the summer of 2017.
00:11:48.020 There are still significant redactions, even though the president ordered that document to be unredacted.
00:11:55.020 And I believe in the redacted sections of that FISA warrant, there may be some additional details of methods and ways that they tried to spy on the president and his team while he was an officer, while he was during the transition.
00:12:11.560 And we also think there may be some more duplicity in that document.
00:12:15.240 It is a travesty that the FBI was allowed to continue to keep that document so redacted.
00:12:19.700 And if you look at the president's new order right now, the one he just did, again, to try to force these out a second time, keeping in mind, the FBI and the Justice Department did not comply with his order.
00:12:30.880 They did not make these documents public, nor would they give them to me in the four years of the Biden presidency, nor have they given to me.
00:12:38.580 They could have gone into my lawsuit in the first 60 days and said, we're done fighting John Solomon.
00:12:43.800 The president said, have them, and they haven't.
00:12:45.440 But the president's order, even now, says that he will agree to whatever the FBI redactions, the FBI believes are necessary redactions.
00:12:54.520 I think that that is a travesty because I think they're going to be trying to hide some stuff.
00:13:00.280 Now, it's a different FBI.
00:13:02.480 Cash Patel knows what's in that FISA warrant, and I think it's possible that maybe we'll get some better stuff.
00:13:07.660 I'm certainly making the case to all who are in a position to influence this.
00:13:11.620 That that fourth FISA is the single most important document yet to be released.
00:13:15.960 Get rid of the redactions.
00:13:17.700 Let us know what's behind those black marks, and we'll have a better sense for history of what the FBI did to weaponize itself against President Trump and his entire administration.
00:13:28.440 Two questions for you, John, to follow up on that.
00:13:30.660 I love Cash Patel.
00:13:31.480 I know him as a human being.
00:13:32.540 You know him as a human being.
00:13:33.900 A great guy.
00:13:34.920 Over the last four years, John, he came on this show.
00:13:37.000 I'm sure he came on your show talking about dismantling the FBI, turning it into a museum, this, this, and that.
00:13:43.120 FISA-702 has got to go.
00:13:45.060 John, now we hear him this week saying FISA-702 is an integral part to everything we do.
00:13:50.020 Meanwhile, every national security person I've spoken to, John, on this show has told me we can live without ostensibly FISA-702 because the NSA is still collecting all this data that they say they're not collecting anyway.
00:14:04.460 I spoke to Russ Tice about it yesterday.
00:14:07.260 He says they're still collecting it.
00:14:09.480 So we'll get to that in a little bit.
00:14:11.660 But my question is to you, why would Donald Trump, knowing what he knows and what he went through, John, the hell they put him through, the Russiagate, the peeing on a hotel room, everything, this whole nonsense that could have ruined his marriage, his life, his presidential aspirations, everything, why would he ever agree to any redactions?
00:14:30.440 Because I think once you sit in the seat of responsibility and you understand the things that you must make sure can still happen for the American people, the next terror attack, the next big spy, the next big thing, you sometimes are willing to bend to the people who are in the intelligence establishment because they tell you we wouldn't have got this guy or that guy or this guy.
00:14:54.800 And I think that that is what ends up happening.
00:14:57.660 Here's what I would say.
00:14:59.260 If Section 702 is so important, then comply with the United States Constitution.
00:15:06.320 If you're going to spy on American, you go to a court.
00:15:09.580 All right.
00:15:09.880 The data is sitting there.
00:15:11.540 Go to a court and subpoena it and get a judicial review process.
00:15:14.940 That would protect all of us and it would keep that urgent need that the president sometimes is told about.
00:15:21.980 Many presidents have been told about it there.
00:15:25.020 It is a simple constitutional protection.
00:15:27.420 In fact, it is jaw dropping that Republican Congresses and Republican presidents haven't had the courage to do what the founding fathers intended, which is if you want to spy on American, get a darn warrant.
00:15:39.480 Yeah, but John, we literally have no evidence to prove we have evidence to the contrary that 702 actually works.
00:15:48.640 How many terrorist attacks have we seen on the home, the American soil, John, since 702 has been in place?
00:15:54.180 We saw I'll name to San Bernardino off the top of my head in America, right?
00:15:58.980 Boston Marathon bomber in America.
00:16:01.020 How many of these school shooters that we knew before they were coming out that we knew what was going on?
00:16:06.960 So what really does a 702 do?
00:16:09.820 I mean, to me, it makes zero sense.
00:16:14.220 Yeah, listen, the man who oversaw that program for many years inside the FBI, Bassem Yosef, an FBI whistleblower, one of the most respected FBI whistleblowers in history, goes way back before, goes back to the early 2000s, said that it really wasn't that significant at all.
00:16:34.000 Now, one of the things it can do is it can help you daisy chain and daisy link people together to figure out who is in somebody's circle, which the FBI claims it doesn't do that, right?
00:16:44.260 Because daisy chaining would be a violation of the Constitution, except he says they do do it.
00:16:49.340 So you're right.
00:16:50.780 There are no real significant cases recently where the FBI has been able to prove to Congress or to a court that Section 702 has actually thwarted a terror attack.
00:17:03.100 It has allowed certain espionage activities to go on, and those activities could easily go on without a blank check to look at someone's phone data if you just meet the threshold of a warrant and go to a court and do it.
00:17:17.780 Now, people say, what good's a warrant when the FISA warrants against the president were so corrupt?
00:17:24.120 And that is a great point.
00:17:25.440 Warrants are only as good as the people who fill them out and only as good as the people who review them.
00:17:30.340 Judge Boasberg's a person who reviewed FISA warrants, not the Russia collusion FISA warrants.
00:17:34.920 He came in afterwards.
00:17:36.760 But we know some of the warrants he ended up approving had significant flaws.
00:17:40.960 So there are, if you really want to fix this from a civil liberties perspective, you must change the culture of the FBI and the people who do it.
00:17:49.000 You must change the culture of the judges who do it.
00:17:51.580 And then you must impose what the founding fathers, if they were alive today, almost certainly would impose.
00:17:57.000 You ain't looking at an American's phone data unless you can meet the threshold for a warrant.
00:18:01.640 And it's an easy fix, but no one in Washington has had the courage since 9-11 to fix it.
00:18:07.800 Yeah, you're absolutely right.
00:18:09.000 But folks, we're talking with John Solomon, editor-in-chief of Just the News.
00:18:12.000 He hosts a great show on Real America's Voice.
00:18:14.760 Just the News, no noise.
00:18:15.700 You can catch him each and every night there as well.
00:18:18.080 When we come back, John, I want to take up the D.C. courts because it seems they're so rife with corruption and trouble, the FISA courts.
00:18:24.560 And I want to go a little bit further into Cash Patel and try to see if you know what's going on in his mind right now, because I certainly don't.
00:18:31.440 We're coming right back with John Solomon.
00:18:32.720 Folks, stay with us. 0.87
00:18:35.180 You're still looking good.

00:19:37.980 We're talking with John Solomon of Just the News, editor-in-chief.
00:19:40.320 You can catch him each and every night.
00:19:41.640 Just the News.
00:19:42.240 No noise on Real America's Voice with his wonderful co-host.
00:19:46.240 John, I want to continue this conversation about Cash Patel.
00:19:50.040 Cash is not a man who's a neophyte to FISA 702.
00:19:54.640 That's right.
00:19:55.240 He's not a man who's a neophyte to the government on how it operates.
00:19:59.160 He's not a neophyte to anything deep state.
00:20:01.480 He knows better than anybody.
00:20:03.280 Yep.
00:20:03.480 You mentioned Donald Trump about allowing the redactions in Crossfire Hurricane because
00:20:08.600 he's sitting in the big chair.
00:20:09.760 Now, I understand that.
00:20:11.120 But Cash Patel knows the stuff that he's saying now is just simply not true.
00:20:16.680 He promised us he was going to gut the FBI.
00:20:19.160 And I hate that I'm having to come out here and say this.
00:20:21.520 And I'm sure you are, too, that we have to sit here and look at this two months later
00:20:26.820 and say we were promised change in the three-letter agencies.
00:20:30.880 We're promised change in the intel communities.
00:20:33.480 Two months in, we're showing no signs of change whatsoever.
00:20:36.640 Your thoughts?
00:20:37.460 I've covered the FBI for about 36 years.
00:20:43.580 I would say it is.
00:20:45.260 Don't age yourself.
00:20:46.300 Yeah.
00:20:46.820 No, I'm getting up there.
00:20:48.620 I will say that the FBI the last few weeks has been more assertively focused on solving
00:20:54.940 crimes, which is a good thing because for most of the last decade, it's more assertively
00:20:59.080 been involved in politics where it didn't belong.
00:21:03.120 There are DEI initiatives that have been abruptly ended.
00:21:08.380 There are significant reorganizations that aren't being announced.
00:21:11.960 And I think the truth of the matter is the jury will be out a year from now when we can really
00:21:17.620 see visibly on the outside what we can't see on the inside.
00:21:21.080 Now, you know, it's a big deal when in my hometown this overnight when I was asleep, they
00:21:27.120 rolled up the MS-13 leader sitting about a mile from my house, which is kind of disturbing
00:21:31.900 to think about it.
00:21:32.740 That the big honcho of the MS-13 was in my neighborhood, for Christ's sakes.
00:21:36.960 But I do think there has been an initial focus of the FBI back to the singles, doubles and
00:21:43.980 hitting that the FBI should be, which is focus on crimes and get the hell out of politics.
00:21:49.040 The second piece of this is who is going to be in the leadership of the FBI?
00:21:54.680 The biggest weakness that Kash Patel possesses right now is that he has very few of his appointees
00:22:01.340 around him, the people he wants to surround himself.
00:22:03.420 Why?
00:22:04.120 Because the White House personnel process has been painfully and, quite frankly, potentially
00:22:09.000 dangerously slow for the FBI.
00:22:11.640 There's so many checks going on that there's simply not time to get the FBI director the
00:22:18.080 people around him.
00:22:18.720 So he's got acting people, career people.
00:22:21.040 I'm sure they're good people, hopefully they're patriots, but he doesn't have his team in
00:22:24.420 place.
00:22:24.700 And it's hard to get a lot of big initiatives done until the people in the FOX or the people
00:22:29.180 you trust.
00:22:29.760 I think that is on the White House to fix.
00:22:33.000 The third part of it is that the sort of changes that I think Kash Patel, I know, listen, I
00:22:38.540 never for a second believe that, I think I took Kash Patel, I'm shutting down the building
00:22:44.280 and selling it or turning it to a museum.
00:22:46.160 It was hyperbole to say, you know, where I am.
00:22:48.600 It was never going to do that.
00:22:49.620 We got to have it, of course.
00:22:50.820 But I do believe the mindset of what he meant by that statement, which is I am going to end
00:22:56.600 the abuses of American citizens, that that is going to be measured a year from now.
00:23:03.780 We'll know whether he was full of caca or whether he delivered on it.
00:23:06.960 And I think from the early, and I have tremendous FBI sources.
00:23:11.800 First off, the FBI agents who thought that Kash Patel was, you know, some political stooge
00:23:17.480 have quickly found out he's a real cop.
00:23:19.980 He knows and cares about copism.
00:23:22.400 And if you're going to go into the trenches and be a cop, you're going to do well with
00:23:25.300 him.
00:23:26.200 He secondly was a lot of these people.
00:23:29.740 This hasn't been known, but it was Kash Patel that found the hidden documents of Epstein.
00:23:37.060 He personally said, I don't believe these are only documents.
00:23:39.800 This can't be all we have.
00:23:40.600 And he went back and got them.
00:23:41.660 So he's starting to comply with Congress and creating a culture that you can't hide things
00:23:45.220 for the American people.
00:23:46.040 A year from now, we'll know whether he's had a profound effect or whether the institution
00:23:51.340 grabbed hold of him and has captured him.
00:23:54.880 Right now, there are some early encouraging signs, particularly in the results of focusing
00:23:58.940 on crime and not politics and in complying with Congress.
00:24:02.640 The FISA reform, listen, the single most important people who deserve the blame for failure of FISA
00:24:08.680 reform, Jim Jordan, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.
00:24:11.980 And the the courts for not, you know, when Judge Bosberg is here, your FISA court chief
00:24:20.480 for a while, you kind of know why things don't get fixed.
00:24:22.800 Congress could have fixed this last year.
00:24:25.020 There were great ideas.
00:24:26.520 And by the way, Democrats were willing to team up with Andy Biggs.
00:24:31.700 Somehow, Jordan and his team and Mike Johnson got rolled.
00:24:35.360 And of course, who knows what the Senate would have done?
00:24:37.120 I do think now there is zero excuse if they don't do FISA reform in the next year.
00:24:44.180 They have all sold the American people a bill of bogus goods.
00:24:48.100 Now, the FISA reform, is that a yearly thing, John?
00:24:49.920 The renewal?
00:24:51.160 It's five years, but the renewal was five years.
00:24:54.700 There's nothing that prevents Congress from saying, all right, we're going to still change
00:24:57.640 it now.
00:24:57.980 You don't have to wait five years.
00:24:58.940 That's just an excuse.
00:24:59.700 If you think there's civil liberties abuses going on, and they are well chronicled in the
00:25:04.480 reports of the inspector general of the intelligence community and the FISA court, change it now.
00:25:09.380 Don't wait five years.
00:25:10.520 Do it now.
00:25:11.880 I'll tell you what's stopping them.
00:25:13.240 The fact that Lou Dobbs is no longer alive to hang down the damn door.
00:25:16.620 He was the Jiminy Cricket of consciousness for our liberties, wasn't he?
00:25:20.380 He's on all of our shoulders reminding us.
00:25:22.880 Within a month of, I don't know if I've told this story on air before, but within a month
00:25:26.200 of Mike Johnson getting in, he started pissing Lou off, and Lou started going out there
00:25:30.120 and, of course, expressing his dismay.
00:25:33.860 And someone very high up from Mike Johnson's office emailed me and said, hey, can we talk?
00:25:40.480 He said, yeah, let me know what you want to talk about on an email.
00:25:43.320 Of course, they wanted to take it to a cell phone call, which I took, and I was pretty
00:25:47.380 much asked to tell Lou to please relent on Speaker Johnson.
00:25:51.680 When I told Lou that, I'm sure you could imagine how he reacted.
00:25:55.320 He doubled down.
00:25:56.780 He absolutely doubled down.
00:25:59.060 Of course he did.
00:26:00.260 He may have told me to go to hell.
00:26:01.820 That's what an independent journalist looks like, unlike so many of the drones that are
00:26:05.960 in journalism today.
00:26:07.620 Listen, I think at the end of the day, as much as, and I understand everyone's frustration,
00:26:13.040 it is pretty remarkable that we're, what, 64 or 65 days into the Trump presidency.
00:26:17.860 He has already issued more executive orders than any president in history during that time
00:26:22.220 from him.
00:26:22.560 He blew away FDR's New Deal. 0.75
00:26:24.000 We are moving, inching towards potential peace in Europe.
00:26:28.980 Israel now has the ability to finish off Hamas for good. 0.82
00:26:32.200 The economy is starting to come back.
00:26:33.900 Eggs are cheaper.
00:26:34.720 Gas is going down.
00:26:36.500 Our enemies are beginning to fear us a little bit more.
00:26:39.300 China will certainly respect us more in the near future.
00:26:42.220 There's been a lot accomplished.
00:26:43.960 That said, we have a perfect list of what the president and his team and the members of Congress
00:26:49.860 told us, and we should, it's our job in the roles that you have and I have to hold them
00:26:54.380 accountable to make sure that every checkmark is next to every promise they made.
00:26:58.140 And the most important moment of the Trump presidency, I think, was at about three o'clock
00:27:02.840 in the morning of the night of election, when Donald Trump's opening line of his acceptance
00:27:08.440 speech when he won the election that night, was my motto will be promises made, promises
00:27:14.960 kept.
00:27:15.480 And I think he is acutely aware that that is a very important ethos for everyone in his
00:27:21.840 team.
00:27:22.240 And we'll all be able to judge him in the air.
00:27:23.860 But there is a lot more progress made in this presidency than any presidency that I've
00:27:28.460 been alive for.
00:27:29.060 Yeah, and it's not incumbent upon President Trump, John, to have to micromanage these
00:27:33.020 people.
00:27:33.600 That's right.
00:27:34.140 And I take a little bit less issue, more issue with Pam Bondi, who's on Fox News, like 0.96
00:27:40.720 auditioning for her next job than I do with Kash Patel.
00:27:43.660 And that raid you were talking about this morning, you see her out there in front of 1.00
00:27:46.200 the cameras.
00:27:47.700 I mean, that's you would have never seen an attorney general.
00:27:51.580 And I feel like we're being fed with smoke and mirrors, John.
00:27:54.460 Where is the investigations going under James Comey?
00:27:57.140 What about into Christopher Wray?
00:27:58.480 How about into the 2020 election?
00:28:00.620 How about into these people who tried to overthrow our country?
00:28:04.920 How about the January 6th committee members who lied and lied and lied, who are walking
00:28:08.820 the streets of pardons right now?
00:28:10.460 How about Joe Biden signing pardons with autopay?
00:28:14.120 I mean, there's so much stuff that I feel like we're being fed smoke and mirrors by Pam
00:28:19.340 Bondi going out in front of a camera and a dress.
00:28:22.220 I mean, and same thing with like Kristi Noem. 0.56
00:28:25.040 Kristi Noem's out there taking videos in front of migrant centers wearing a $90,000 Rolex.
00:28:29.500 I mean, to me, it seems like smoke and mirrors.
00:28:33.360 Do you disagree?
00:28:34.580 Listen, compared to Joe Biden, who of course was not engaged at all, didn't probably even
00:28:43.000 know what was going on under his pen or his watch compared to Merrick Garland, who only
00:28:48.660 came out to announce political weaponization moments in his presidency.
00:28:52.520 I'd rather see the attorney general and the FBI director present at a raid that takes a
00:28:57.120 really bad guy off who might terrorize and kill another American tomorrow if we don't
00:29:00.520 capture him than to have Merrick Garland come out and say, I'm weaponizing my department
00:29:05.580 against my boss's likely Republican rival for the 2024 election.
00:29:11.160 I think these are cultural changes.
00:29:12.840 And I think, you know, people can say, is this crude politics?
00:29:15.840 I don't think that Kash Patel has any plan to run for office ever.
00:29:19.400 So if he's out there, it's probably because he wants the men and women to say, this is
00:29:23.480 what FBI works like, not the stuff you were doing for the last 10 years.
00:29:26.860 I don't know if Pam Bondi has a political ambition beyond this or not. 0.63
00:29:30.880 It's a hell of a job to have as attorney general.
00:29:33.740 But if the message of her being there is, this is what I stand for, and this is what I'm
00:29:38.260 willing to waste my time on, then it's a good thing because the cultural assimilation 1.00
00:29:42.780 in these departments is far from complete.
00:29:45.620 In fact, I think it's barely started.
00:29:46.960 I think the vast majority of DOJ people and FBI people chafe at the notion that the Trump
00:29:54.120 administration has captured all these bad guys so quickly.
00:29:56.800 They're on the side of the judges who want to strip up President Trump.
00:30:00.100 But over time, when the boss keeps showing up and keeps making a point that this is what
00:30:04.540 we do, and the next time you do something that doesn't look like this, I'll be the one
00:30:08.640 there for your arrest.
00:30:10.020 I think that will be a very important part of changing the culture.
00:30:14.860 And I think that some of this is internal management, not external PR, even though it
00:30:19.100 does feel like, I admit, it does feel like external PR.
00:30:21.620 But from what I know, there is a desire to refocus Homeland Justice and FBI on their mission.
00:30:29.100 And part of that is by letting people in the department see this is what the boss thinks
00:30:33.280 is the right thing to do.
00:30:34.260 And I think that's part of what's going on.
00:30:35.980 It's internal messaging more than external.
00:30:37.880 Now, let's talk about all the crimes committed from 2015 forward that we know.
00:30:44.900 I have said many times, and I'll stick to it because my reporting validates this, they're
00:30:50.040 just not going to go back and punish people.
00:30:51.920 They'll do the things the president's done.
00:30:53.320 Let's strip their security clients and make them poor. 1.00
00:30:56.280 Let's shame them every day. 0.83
00:30:57.500 Let's keep that law firm from making the next 20 clients because they're not going to be in
00:31:01.660 the game on things.
00:31:02.840 They'll do those things.
00:31:04.640 I think, and again, I still believe the law should be applied evenly.
00:31:10.660 And if there are statute of limitations still open, they ought to prosecute everybody.
00:31:15.100 But I do think that what we learned in the Durham investigation is that in the era of
00:31:19.880 Trump, you can bring clear and obvious and convincing and compelling evidence of crimes
00:31:25.880 and jurors in the District of Columbia, in New York City and other places are not going
00:31:31.580 to bring convictions.
00:31:32.280 And I think the danger, if you go through that process, is the people, when they get
00:31:36.580 acquitted, now claim that what they did was right.
00:31:39.840 And I think that until we figure out this jury system, until we figure out this Trump derangement
00:31:45.000 syndrome of the Justice Department, by the way, and of the justice system, I think President
00:31:50.060 Trump is very cognizant.
00:31:51.720 He'd rather punish them in other ways that don't require a fake vindication and then bring
00:31:57.980 the cases in the place that are, I think, somewhere down the road, not that far down
00:32:01.980 the road, somebody from that era of earlier abuses will get prosecuted in the state of
00:32:07.440 Texas or the state of Tennessee.
00:32:09.480 And it was just one or two cases.
00:32:11.760 But the president said he's looking forward.
00:32:14.020 He took down the rearview mirror of his car of presidency.
00:32:16.440 And I think he's just looking forward now.
00:32:18.780 And he's got a big list of things he needs to solve for the American people.
00:32:22.200 The things he's dealing with are epically huge.
00:32:25.160 Epically huge.
00:32:26.800 Yeah.
00:32:26.920 The only problem is, John, he let Hillary Clinton off the hook in 2016.
00:32:30.140 Sure did.
00:32:30.640 He got him indicted like 150 times, facing 700 years in jail.
00:32:34.740 His graciousness was returned by hatred and weaponization.
00:32:38.240 I still think he's going to, my impression of it from my own reporting is he'll be tough,
00:32:44.880 but he's still going to be the gracious guy.
00:32:46.960 And he knows that American people will not win if he brings Hillary Clinton an indictment.
00:32:52.640 People will win when the price of eggs goes down and when the borders secure and when our
00:32:56.680 daughters can go out and jog again and not be killed by some gang member.
00:33:01.400 I think that that is what drives him.
00:33:03.980 And God bless him.
00:33:05.020 He's a bottom line guy and he has a bottom line.
00:33:07.020 And that bottom line is driven by what he thinks the American people not want,
00:33:10.640 not what he personally would love to achieve to all the people who harmed him and shamed
00:33:14.680 him for the last 10 years.
00:33:15.860 It's only one difference, John.
00:33:17.100 He doesn't have to run for reelection again.
00:33:19.060 I want to take liberating.
00:33:20.440 It's liberating, isn't it?
00:33:21.260 Yeah.
00:33:22.100 Can be.
00:33:23.140 I want to take one more quick break here.

00:34:36.760 Folks, we're back with the great John Solomon of Just the News, editor-in-chief.
00:34:42.980 Just the News, no noise, each and every night, Real America's Voice.
00:34:46.580 John, the Federalist has a new piece out this week.
00:34:48.800 Very interesting, if you ask me.
00:34:51.880 A third of all D.C. district judges were not born in the United States.
00:34:55.560 Now, these are the same people, the Bosebergs of the world, the Tanya Chutkins of the world, 0.99
00:34:59.060 who are sitting here telling us that we cannot deport Trendaigua criminals under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.
00:35:09.240 They're the ones telling us that we have to rehire people at USAID.
00:35:13.320 We have to rehire anybody who was on probation.
00:35:16.220 People not even born in this country as acting presidents of the United States.
00:35:21.240 Make that make sense for me, please.
00:35:22.780 Listen, I have been able to, the first I heard it was just when you mentioned it.
00:35:28.900 It is interesting to me.
00:35:30.960 Judge Boseberg himself was definitely born in San Francisco, California.
00:35:34.240 So he's a guy that has been an American in his life.
00:35:37.880 I think the issue for him is not where he was born or who his parents were,
00:35:42.740 but what his interpretation of the Constitution is,
00:35:46.200 which because he has decided to rule, and now, in fairness, the D.C. appeals court panel has affirmed him
00:35:53.200 that what the Supreme Court ruled in the 1940s and what the Congress passed in the 1790s doesn't matter to them.
00:36:00.760 They're going to interpret it the way they want it to be interpreted.
00:36:03.840 I suspect that Boseberg's day is coming in the Supreme Court, though we could be wrong.
00:36:08.420 Who knows?
00:36:08.840 Maybe Amy Coney Barrett and John Roberts will flip to the other side again.
00:36:14.000 But if stare decisis exists and the Supreme Court is going to abide by its original rulings,
00:36:25.420 the current rulings would say that what the president did was here, and I think it was accurate.
00:36:31.920 And Judge Boseberg is ruling against what President Trump did in violation of what the Supreme Court has previously ruled
00:36:38.180 and what the intent of Congress was.
00:36:40.120 But there's other things that could happen.
00:36:41.860 You know, I'm always – it's sort of fun how Washington always limits itself down to the hardest won option.
00:36:49.200 Congress could pass a law tomorrow and get it to the president tomorrow and say,
00:36:51.460 you can do this, you can, no problem.
00:36:52.920 For the next five years, you have the license to take any trend or argument.
00:36:56.480 Here's the process you have to follow.
00:36:57.640 And they could do it tomorrow, and they could rifle shot a law, but they don't do it.
00:37:01.360 They sit there and say, oh, God, these damn judges.
00:37:03.160 They could tomorrow declare that some of these judges not are impeachable.
00:37:09.120 You don't have to impeach them because you're not going to get 67 votes in the Senate.
00:37:12.720 But the Constitution doesn't say that.
00:37:14.780 The Constitution says you get to be a judge for life as long as you're in good standing.
00:37:18.680 Congress could just simply rule that these men are not in good standing and maybe fire them or defund them based on their conduct and their actions.
00:37:25.840 They have allowed jurists for two decades now to go on junkets of all the people that should be above special interest influence.
00:37:36.560 I mean, we kind of expect our politicians and members of Congress to be influenced by the money they raise.
00:37:41.540 But judges are supposed to be in that impeachable, unimpeachable, unassailable thing.
00:37:47.360 You've got Judge Boasberg and nine other Democratic judges, three Republican judges going to an all-expense-paid trip in Idaho,
00:37:54.000 where all of the sponsors, the group, the group's CEO, and the faculty are all overtly anti-Trump, spewing anti-Trump rhetoric,
00:38:05.140 and on the very issue that Judge Boasberg is actually ruling on, immigration.
00:38:11.280 Is that the sort of – and Congress could fix this tomorrow.
00:38:14.220 But when I asked Jim Jordan yesterday, he's like, oh, well, we'll look at it.
00:38:17.480 Why look at it? Just fix it.
00:38:19.440 So there are many ways to fix this system.
00:38:22.080 It isn't just on, oh, my God, we die at the Supreme Court or at the appellate court.
00:38:26.080 Congress has been complicitous through omission for so long.
00:38:29.800 It is – and when I came to Congress, there were giants still in Congress.
00:38:33.560 There were people like Bob Dole and George Mitchell.
00:38:35.700 And even if you didn't like Tip O'Neill, he knew his responsibility was to work with Ronald Reagan and get some done for –
00:38:40.780 we do not have many giants in Congress right now.
00:38:43.940 And Congress shirks the extraordinary power that the Constitution, the founders, and the American people give it time and time again.
00:38:50.680 It is the greatest graveyard of excuse-making I've ever seen in any part of Washington, and that's saying something.
00:38:57.140 Yeah, it's – John, it's the same three or four judges who are constantly on this D.C. circuit.
00:39:02.820 Now, there's 15 of them.
00:39:04.000 Is that right?
00:39:04.700 Yeah.
00:39:05.360 The same three or four of them.
00:39:06.720 It's Boasberg, Chutkin, and Mahit Adar or whatever his name is or the other one.
00:39:12.100 So, we have a lawsuit now for the signal gate with Mike Walsh.
00:39:16.800 Who's the judge in charge?
00:39:18.360 James Boasberg.
00:39:19.480 I mean –
00:39:19.780 Yeah.
00:39:20.220 So, what can be done by Congress?
00:39:21.940 Can they, per se, pack the courts?
00:39:24.140 I mean, can they –
00:39:24.820 They could, after saying they didn't want that to happen to the Supreme Court, right?
00:39:27.940 At this point, though, John, it's like we're going to lose the presidency.
00:39:32.200 Well, remember that the inferior courts are not subject to the United States Supreme Court when it comes to policy and pronouncements.
00:39:41.260 The Supreme Court is in charge of the lower courts for discipline.
00:39:44.000 But Congress was given the power to – you could tomorrow tell every federal judge in the land – and by the way, to Jim Jordan's credit, to Andy Biggs' credit, to a couple of other lawmakers – I'm going to draw blanks on their names out in California – and Senator Hawley.
00:40:02.200 They're going to try to get this through Congress next week.
00:40:05.660 Why should a single judge in a single blue area of a country be able to enjoin the whole rest of the country?
00:40:11.340 You could take that power away tomorrow.
00:40:13.580 And by the way, Jim Jordan has three bills coming to the floor.
00:40:16.440 They've got one of them done.
00:40:18.860 Chuck – or Josh Hawley is going to get it through the Senate.
00:40:22.940 Congress could put handcuffs on these judges and say, you can stay in your job, but you're not enjoining the rest of the country with your political views.
00:40:29.920 You can enjoin your district, and then you'll get overturned time and again by the Supreme Court.
00:40:33.920 But you can make this happen.
00:40:35.580 There have been more temporary restraining orders in the first 60 days of the Trump presidency than there were in the entire four years of Joe Biden in the last two years of Trump's first presidency.
00:40:47.040 That tells you something.
00:40:48.080 The judges have become political.
00:40:49.780 Congress could fix that tomorrow.
00:40:51.380 We don't have to wait for the Supreme Court.
00:40:52.800 They could fix it tomorrow.
00:40:53.740 It could be on the president's desk in two weeks if they just did their job.
00:40:56.720 I mean, that's incumbent on Mike Johnson.
00:40:59.180 John, I've been saying this since I took over this show in August.
00:41:02.720 Mike Johnson should have a very short lease on him, a month or two.
00:41:06.620 And if we realize he's not doing his job, he's got to go.
00:41:08.940 It's now been two months.
00:41:10.380 What has Congress actually done in the last two months?
00:41:14.420 What have they done?
00:41:15.320 Well, they got a temporary spending bill again.
00:41:17.940 Oh, wait.
00:41:18.280 They do that every three years.
00:41:19.640 Exactly.
00:41:20.000 Every three months.
00:41:20.880 Yeah, listen, I think Mike Johnson will be judged by what that big, beautiful one big, beautiful bill is.
00:41:28.440 If he can achieve the president's agenda, he'll be a speaker that has some longevity.
00:41:33.900 If he fails at it, he can't make a deal with the Senate.
00:41:36.940 I think there will be hell to pay and there could be a mid-year change.
00:41:40.560 I think the big bill will get a lot done.
00:41:42.400 But you know what?
00:41:43.020 Every day, Congress misses an opportunity to fix things at the mayor.
00:41:46.120 And they keep acting like they're powerless.
00:41:48.120 It's the most impish group of people I've ever seen. 1.00
00:41:51.540 You know, there's some exceptions.
00:41:52.840 Listen, look at the Marjorie Taylor Greene's hearing yesterday.
00:41:55.140 Now, that's a hearing.
00:41:55.900 Let's expose what bias looks like.
00:41:57.840 She showed it.
00:41:58.860 But there's just not enough of them who take the bull by the horns like Bob Dole or George Mitchell or Tip O'Neill did a decade ago when they realized we're Congress.
00:42:08.020 We can fix things.
00:42:09.620 Our Congress is we're Congress and we'll just sit by and complain and bitch about it. 0.99
00:42:13.960 Yeah, you're absolutely right.
00:42:15.200 But, John, before we wrap up here, I want to get your take on the whole – we haven't got a chance to talk about it.
00:42:20.380 But just a little quick briefing on the signal gate, different reporting about how it happened, who's responsible for it.
00:42:29.060 I'm kind of a little upset, and I discussed that on yesterday's show, that Mike Waltz was pointing the finger at everybody else but himself.
00:42:35.400 What are you being told about how this happened?
00:42:37.740 My reporting is pretty clear, which is – and by the way, we surfaced the memo.
00:42:42.420 In December, before Joe Biden left the presidency, the Homeland Security Department told all national security officials to start using Signal regularly.
00:42:54.180 I have that memo.
00:42:55.200 I've put it up.
00:42:55.780 Everybody can see it.
00:42:57.440 It was a bad idea.
00:42:59.080 It was going on for four years.
00:43:00.440 That was just the latest warning to go do it.
00:43:03.040 We're in the United States government.
00:43:04.520 We have cell phones that can give you a cell phone that's secured up to the top secret level on the phone call.
00:43:09.300 Why can't we have a chat system to do it?
00:43:11.180 What happened is, if you've ever used Signal, is your whole Rolodex is in there, and you might be looking for John Solomon, but you misclicked by one, and you put Jim Smith on there, right?
00:43:21.060 That's what happened.
00:43:22.500 Now, who's to blame?
00:43:23.920 We blame the National Security Committee for being this stupid to realize that for 20 years, while we've all gotten used to chatting, they didn't create an encrypted chat for people on the most thing.
00:43:32.040 And so we use a commercial thing, which, by the way, if there's no human error, I'm sure it's pretty well encrypted.
00:43:37.720 But is that really the risk we want to take if there's not a chance?
00:43:41.200 You could create an encryption tool tomorrow that allowed everybody to chat, and you'd only have the people who are authorized at the classified level they should be, and this would never have happened.
00:43:50.960 It's clearly human error.
00:43:52.180 I don't think there's anything more conspiratorial than that.
00:43:54.400 The conspiracy is, once again, bureaucracy created an unnecessary security risk for us.
00:43:59.800 And, by the way, this risk has been present since we knew Hillary Clinton started her private email, since we learned that Joe Biden had the pseudonyms in sending sensitive things to him.
00:44:08.600 We could have fixed this 100 times.
00:44:10.660 Congress could have mandated.
00:44:12.260 The National Security Establishment could have fixed it.
00:44:14.860 For God's sake, will someone just fix it?
00:44:16.640 I bet you Elon Musk will have a technology fix in a couple weeks.
00:44:20.260 And that will be the first good idea to address this in 10 years of bitching and moaning about it. 1.00
00:44:25.180 Yeah, that's true.
00:44:25.880 Any idea, before we wrap up here, who added Mr. Goldberg to the group chat?
00:44:29.920 Was it Mike Waltz himself?
00:44:31.420 I think it was someone around him that had access to his phone and had permission to expand it.
00:44:36.660 I think it's purely a human accident.
00:44:39.260 I've seen some conspiracy theorists.
00:44:41.260 I think, and listen, there have been times where I accidentally put someone on a signal channel, like, oop, oop, oop, I caught it, because I always look at it.
00:44:47.980 But it's easy to mistype.
00:44:50.260 There would have been no, listen, there was no value in bringing on a Goldberg. 0.96
00:44:53.940 There was none.
00:44:54.620 Not even in your wildest imagination.
00:44:56.980 It was just a bad call.
00:44:58.820 A mistake.
00:44:59.560 I think the president, we take him at his word.
00:45:01.220 It's a mistake, and we're going to learn from it.
00:45:02.780 I can't tell you how many people I've spoken to have said, can you message me on signal?
00:45:05.660 I said, what the hell?
00:45:06.760 Tony Bobulinski.
00:45:08.340 I'd call him.
00:45:09.240 He'd call me on signal.
00:45:10.200 I'd say, what the hell?
00:45:10.740 How do I use this thing?
00:45:13.080 All right, brother.
00:45:14.040 I got to roll.
00:45:14.660 I appreciate you joining us.
00:45:15.400 Thank you so much.
00:45:16.280 We'll talk to you soon.
00:45:17.220 See you.
00:45:17.520 Bye-bye.
00:45:17.840 See you all, brother.
00:45:18.780 Thanks, everybody, for being with us tonight.
00:45:20.420 Before we go, I want to end on a light note.
00:45:23.580 As we're going through some video, finding those old clips of the great Lou Dobbs, we stumbled upon one.
00:45:28.880 This nostalgia just came back, and the memories of my mentor and the man I miss,
00:45:34.220 and we all miss so very much, being a human.
00:45:37.940 Take a listen.
00:45:38.940 I want to know, what do you do to relax?
00:45:41.480 You appear very serious.
00:45:43.460 Well, I'm very serious, and as you can tell, Larry, I'm pretty passionate about what we're talking about.
00:45:49.020 No kidding.
00:45:49.600 I really care.
00:45:51.720 But what do you do on Sunday afternoon?
00:45:54.480 Well, I'll watch football, and I'll go work on the farm, or I'll just walk around and kind of stare off into space every once in a while.
00:46:03.280 But that's what I do.
00:46:03.960 I spend time with my family, and I love doing that.
00:46:07.060 Boy, do I miss him so much.
00:46:08.980 Never did I ever hear Lou tell a lie, but there was some sort of lie in that, and it was the fact of relaxing.
00:46:15.180 The man never relaxed.
00:46:16.960 The man worked 24-7.
00:46:18.480 I'd be on vacation, and he'd call me, and he'd pretend like he butt-dialed me because he wanted to work.
00:46:25.040 And he'd say, oh, did I call you by accident?
00:46:26.760 Yeah.
00:46:27.120 All right, Lou, I'll talk to you next week.
00:46:28.660 Well, what are you doing?
00:46:29.460 And we'd wind up talking for hours, and I wish I could have those moments back.
00:46:34.940 Him and I would speak for hours each and every day, seven days a week, FaceTime, on the phone, out on the farm.
00:46:42.060 And, you know, I wish I could have those moments back, as I truly do miss them.
00:46:47.500 And I treasure them then, and I treasure them now that he's gone.
00:46:51.240 But not so much truth in that, Lou.
00:46:53.940 You never relaxed.
00:46:55.640 But watching football with the family, definitely true.
00:46:58.680 As for relaxing, not true.
00:47:01.040 You worked 24-7, and you worked until the day you died.
00:47:04.380 And I know you're up there listening.
00:47:05.980 You're probably very angry at me, but you and I both know there was no relaxing when it came to the great Lou Dobbs.
00:47:12.480 Folks, I hope you enjoyed today's episode with the great John Solomon and the little nostalgia of the great Lou Dobbs.
00:47:18.540 We hope to see you back here tomorrow for The Great America Show, where our quest for truth, justice, and the American way continues.
00:47:24.860 See you back here tomorrow, folks.
00:47:26.140 Same time, same place.
00:47:27.140 Until then, may God bless you, may God bless America, and may God bless the great Lou Dobbs.
00:47:32.700 We'll see you tomorrow.
