The Great America Show - THERE’S A REASON OBAMA STILL LIVES IN D.C.

00:00:00.000 Hello, everybody. I'm Lou Dobbs. This is The Great America Show. Thanks for being with us, as always.

00:00:06.800 Poor President Biden. It must be difficult for him to navigate his White House mob of

00:00:12.220 handlers, advisors, Chinese and Ukrainian bag men, all the while trying to recall the names of his

00:00:19.140 puppet masters. And where is that playful dog, Major? Have you noticed the corporatist media

00:00:25.480 writes and reports their articles on President Biden as if there were no elephant in the room,

00:00:31.580 namely his severe, obvious, cognitive lapses and incoherence? Two other presidents come to mind,

00:00:39.400 Woodrow Wilson, who had a severe and disabling stroke in 1919, and whose wife Edith, unbeknownst

00:00:46.460 to the public, assisted in running the country for a year and three months to the end of his term.

00:00:52.980 And then there's FDR. FDR was unable to walk at all, unaided. He had the help of most reporters in

00:01:01.580 keeping that fact from the public. They didn't mention it in their articles, and no pictures

00:01:07.060 were ever allowed showing FDR in his wheelchair. And the corporatist media acts as though Biden's

00:01:14.200 departures from scripted public speeches won't influence foreign leaders or affect policy and

00:01:20.520 real-world outcomes, whether in Moscow, Beijing, or Tehran, or Ukraine, for that matter. Could his

00:01:28.460 impairment and dependence on his masters and minders be influencing his seemingly reckless

00:01:34.320 remarks on Ukraine and Russia? Why is it that he doesn't do what is obviously rational in this

00:01:40.800 dangerous moment, as the vastly superior Russian forces continue to bombard major cities and devastate

00:01:48.520 much of Ukraine? So much death and destruction that it will be years and years before Ukrainians

00:01:55.240 can rebuild their country, no matter how the fight goes or how long. Why is the United States

00:02:02.440 not leading? Why is the United States not working with China, trying to stop the madness of Putin's war

00:02:09.400 against Ukraine? Why not act like the leader of the free world and partner with our enemy at least

00:02:15.900 long enough to give Vladimir Putin an exit from this debacle of his own design? Why not save lives

00:02:22.620 and what remains of Ukraine? Negotiate a standstill to all hostilities and establish a truce. And with

00:02:30.140 China, negotiate an agreement that is fair, binding, and enforceable for both sides. Instead, President

00:02:38.540 Biden plays to the neocons and neoliberals of his Marxist-left Dem party and risks a broad expansion

00:02:45.980 of the conflict throughout Europe. Madness. To take up all of this and the universal folly of the

00:02:52.780 Biden White House, we have with us today Lee Smith, international journalist, best-selling author of the

00:02:58.940 book The Plot to Overthrow the President, which was made into a documentary of the same title. And his latest

00:03:05.580 work is The Permanent Coup about the ongoing campaign to undermine the foundation of the

00:03:12.060 American Republic. Lee, thanks for being here. Lou, thank you so much. It is always a great honor

00:03:18.780 and a pleasure and always a lot of fun to talk to you. And I look forward to whatever we're going to

00:03:24.060 talk about today, because I'm sure it's going to be great. I am too, mainly because of you.

00:03:29.820 Oh, that's very kind. And we appreciate you being with us. Let's start with

00:03:37.180 the Russian war on Ukraine. Yes. And where we are. And here's one of my many complaints. One is we

00:03:47.820 don't have anything approaching real information coming out of either the combat areas,

00:03:55.500 the whether it's the Donbass region or whether it's when they're being bombarded. We don't have

00:04:04.300 reliable estimates on the casualties of either side. Either way, they're horrendous. We do know that.

00:04:12.220 Right. And the destruction, the pictures speak millions of words. It's going to be ages before Ukraine

00:04:21.180 can recover just from the devastation to this point. Your thoughts on the war on Ukraine and Russia.

00:04:30.700 Yeah, this is something I've been thinking about. And thanks for bringing it up. I mean, first of all,

00:04:36.780 it makes sense that there's a lot of noise propaganda coming out of Ukraine and Russia.

00:04:42.140 These are the two combatants. But the fact that we as Americans can't get can't get

00:04:51.100 good information, that's about something else. And part of that is because all of the people

00:04:55.580 or most of the people who are now experts on Ukraine and Russia, these are other people who

00:05:00.780 lied about Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin starting in 2016. Or there are people I saw something on the

00:05:06.860 news the other day, this ambassador, William Taylor, who he's talking about, you know,

00:05:11.260 he's talking about Ukraine and he's supposed to be speaking with some authority. But this is one of

00:05:14.940 the same this is one of the same former U.S. officials who who work to impeach Donald Trump.

00:05:21.260 And I'm thinking, how is it possible to take this man seriously or any of these people seriously?

00:05:26.300 Everything is so insanely politicized.

00:05:28.380 I had the same the same reaction when I saw Bill Taylor holding forth with his

00:05:37.820 superior demeanor and very, very pompous tone, just as he did in the in the impeachment proceedings.

00:05:47.100 It was it was disgusting and appalling to watch. And, you know, it's it's it's a minor tragedy.

00:05:53.180 It's not one of the bigger tragedies that we've suffered over the last

00:05:57.340 five years, I guess, since we saw our country start to unfold in ways no one had anticipated.

00:06:03.820 But look at these people, whether it's William Taylor or Michael McFaul or former Obama's former

00:06:11.180 ambassador to Russia, these people serve their country, whether they served it well or whether

00:06:16.060 they served it poorly, but they served their country and God bless them and thank them for all

00:06:21.100 that. But now what they'll be remembered for is lying to their countrymen about the president

00:06:29.260 that that Americans elected to head the government between 2016 and 2020.

00:06:35.420 So these people, I think that you and I can't be the only people who are looking at this and saying

00:06:39.820 this is insane. This is all these people have been lying to us for five years. And now,

00:06:44.540 given how much money and how much aid the Biden administration is is is is granting Ukraine,

00:06:51.740 that these are the we have a stake we're involved in it. And now that these people are talking about

00:06:58.700 it, it's it's it's absolutely nuts. And that adds to the confusion. So I mean, there are just so

00:07:05.820 what are the different reports that we see coming out? Well, first of all,

00:07:09.260 the first lady, Jill Biden is in Ukraine. Well, why? I mean, this is this is not this,

00:07:16.220 this is not a normal event. And I'm gonna Bono is in Kiev. I mean, it's in the capital of the

00:07:22.300 country that's that's that's under siege. I mean, all of these things just just strike us, I think,

00:07:27.660 as as as very, very strange. And this is not to take anything away from the suffering,

00:07:32.460 the suffering of the Ukrainian people. This is terrible. But there just appears to be

00:07:37.500 this just it appears to be unlike conflicts that we've seen before. Americans knew what was

00:07:44.700 happening in Afghanistan, for the most part of it, if you were following it, you could get a pretty

00:07:49.180 good sense of what was happening in Afghanistan. The same is true of Iraq, the interpretations may

00:07:54.620 be off or the interpretations are shaped. But you could certainly see what was going on. If you had a map,

00:08:00.540 you could understand what was going on. And I think it's probably the case here that if we had maps,

00:08:06.220 and if this is what our experts and commentators were showing us, what's actually happening on the

00:08:10.780 ground, this might look very, very different from the way that it's being described by our foreign

00:08:17.740 policy expert class. The result is that the American public, the American public is now has been

00:08:27.820 made part of a conflict that we don't understand. Yeah, we don't understand. And as we watch CNN,

00:08:37.820 ABC News, CBS, MSNBC, it, we were watching an echo chamber in front of us. And it's an unpleasant

00:08:49.580 experience, because they rely upon the standard political analyst, the geopolitical analyst that

00:08:58.780 they rely on, mentioning William Burns, prominent among them, the military analysts that they have,

00:09:06.700 which is a cadre of establishment, military, industrial complex veterans, and COGS, who are churning

00:09:18.300 out neocon nonsense, I would say at least, I will say safely better than half the time.

00:09:26.620 There is an implicit tone that the United States should somehow be involved in a greater widening

00:09:33.340 conflict in Europe. That is, that starts in the discussion as a Russian war against Ukraine,

00:09:40.620 and ends up being a discussion about a global, the potential of a global conflict, and I'm using that

00:09:51.340 not in the sense of the world, but in the sense of a much broader, larger conflict that will settle a

00:09:59.100 number of issues. And amongst them, one world governance, a new world order, and Ukraine is a

00:10:06.460 fitting little microcosm that we can use, from which to leverage and leap our way to a bright

00:10:14.780 new horizon of uniformity, homogeneity in governance, and politics, and there will be no dissidents, no

00:10:23.740 conflict ever after, just so long as we can involve the United States in a nuclear war with Russia. That

00:10:29.820 seems to be the ultimate extension of their logic. What do you think?

00:10:33.340 I think that right now, I think the people who have perhaps jokingly referred to Ukraine as the

00:10:40.300 new thing, though of course now, now that the new thing is, is the, you know, is the pro-abortion

00:10:47.340 protest. But I think there's a point to that saying that Ukraine is part of a series, right? I mean,

00:10:55.420 between, from whatever, Russiagate, the impeachments, all these different things. I think that Ukraine is

00:11:02.460 being used by the Biden administration, just as, just as inflation has been, I think it's being

00:11:10.940 used to promote different, different aspects of the Uniparty's agenda, right? I think there are

00:11:20.140 different, it's a joke to hear Joe Biden say, yeah, inflation, it's all Vladimir Putin's fault. But what

00:11:26.860 are they doing? What are they doing? The amount of money that is going to Ukraine, the amount of,

00:11:31.260 the amount of arms that are being absorbed by the Ukrainians, it really looks again like this is,

00:11:38.860 this is cover for dismantling the United States, for dismantling our security, as well as our peace and

00:11:46.940 prosperity. So for Americans, that's what it, that's what it looks like. That is what is most clear to us,

00:11:54.140 what this war is about for Americans. What's actually going on on the ground. Again,

00:11:59.580 it's very difficult to understand, but because of the, because of the choked information,

00:12:06.300 but what we're seeing here is, again, this is another platform, another platform to hurt Americans,

00:12:14.460 to push, to push the Uniparty, including, of course, the Green New Deal, right? Which is,

00:12:21.100 which is probably their, the top item on their agenda, because that, I mean, that is, that's not

00:12:27.500 about green energy so much, as it's about, it's an instrument to undo the working and the American

00:12:35.900 working and middle class, right? Our economy, the real economy is based on fossil fuels. But they have

00:12:42.940 another thing in mind. So it's not just, it's to reward their donors. It's to reward their allies.

00:12:49.820 It's to punish their domestic opponents, who is us. And the peculiar thing, the thing that must

00:12:54.540 strike us all the time is, why does so many Joe Biden administration policies happen to advance the

00:13:02.860 interest of the Chinese Communist Party? I mean, right, it's not just Hunter Biden and Joe Biden

00:13:09.020 and Jim Biden and their ties with Chinese businessmen and CCP officials. It's structural.

00:13:16.620 What, why is this the case? Why is almost everything they do going to wind up hurting

00:13:21.180 or rather helping China? And of course, right now we see that, you know, China is the head of this

00:13:27.740 rising new bloc that the conflict in Ukraine has, has shed new light on.

00:13:36.620 It is, it is interesting to see the, the nexus of so many Biden involvements, whether it be China,

00:13:45.340 whether it be Ukraine, the president, this puppet president and his Marxist left puppeteers and

00:13:56.540 masters obviously want, well, they need more money. They want $40 billion, which will be orders of

00:14:04.220 magnitude what other nations, particularly in Europe, are putting up for the support of the Ukrainian

00:14:12.940 military effort against Russia. And the United States Pentagon and intelligence services are quick

00:14:19.420 to brag that they were involved in through the provision of intelligence, the sinking of the Moskva,

00:14:27.900 the flagship of the Black Sea, the Russian flagship. I've never seen intelligence officers and military,

00:14:36.300 our Pentagon talk so openly and brazenly and with such braggadocio about U.S. involvement,

00:14:43.900 again, with a country that is a nuclear power and should be respected, at least in that regard,

00:14:51.260 if not every other. I think this, this administration is nihilistic. It's more than Marxist. It's nihilistic.

00:15:00.540 Oh, I totally agree. I think calling these guys communist is, I mean, it's not a compliment,

00:15:09.740 but it misses what's actually happening here, right? I mean, they're advancing the interest of an oligarchy,

00:15:16.380 but yeah, but I don't think they're communist or social, right? Socialist. I mean, I'm, you know,

00:15:22.380 psychopathic, nihilistic. I think your, your description of it is very good. I, but you know,

00:15:28.300 here's the thing. Our information on Ukraine is so choked, I think it's quite likely that these were all,

00:15:35.340 I think that these stories weren't entirely contrived, right? Because remember, there was a report coming

00:15:41.100 out of, you know, NBC, which in many ways is a mouthpiece for the CIA, given all the, you know,

00:15:47.180 former CIA officials employed over there. And, and we saw their connections as, as Russiagate unfolded,

00:15:53.420 but remember there was some report about how the, the intelligence services were bragging about how they

00:15:59.100 continued to flood, flood the American information ecosystem with lies about Ukraine and Russia,

00:16:10.220 right? So it's to protect that's to, it's to protect us. Like, no, it's not. They're intentionally,

00:16:15.820 um, you know, for all the talk about disinformation, who's responsible for it? It's the press and it's,

00:16:22.540 it's the U S press and U S intelligence services. And so when I saw these stories, I mean, right about how,

00:16:29.260 about how, um, boasting about a role and taking down the Russian, sinking the Russian warship about

00:16:36.700 killing Russian generals, like is, is, is, could this be true or how much of this is a, is represented,

00:16:43.580 uh, is representative of a fight inside the Biden administration? Are the intelligence services

00:16:50.380 going after the Pentagon? Because presumably the Pentagon wouldn't want this stuff out there. These

00:16:54.940 guys are, are, uh, typically wary of any sort of conflict. So the idea that they would want this out

00:17:01.580 there again, that's what I mean, that all of the, all of the information that we're being given on

00:17:08.380 what's happening in Ukraine is so peculiar and so strange. We're going to be unpacking this. I think

00:17:16.140 for years to figure out exactly, not just what happened in Ukraine, but what happened in the Biden

00:17:23.500 administration and what was going on, what were the different efforts about how much of this had to

00:17:28.620 do with Ukraine? How much of it had to do with deceiving the American public? How much of it had

00:17:33.500 to do with advancing, uh, democratic party initiatives here at home against the American people?

00:17:41.500 Yeah. And I, I, I think this matter matter of fact that the timeline may be a little optimistic

00:17:49.420 in terms of understanding what happened because right now we, we do know a few things

00:17:56.940 things as they percolated up over the six months preceding the invasion on February 24th of Ukraine by

00:18:05.340 Russia. We do know that the United States, the Biden administration was making offerings to Ukraine

00:18:14.700 verging. It's, it sounds like, uh, various points insistence that Ukraine consider quickly and, uh,

00:18:22.780 deeply, uh, uh, entering NATO. Uh, they had to understand what a trip wire that was for Vladimir Putin.

00:18:31.340 Uh, it's been so, uh, since, uh, 1991 without any question. Then we have the clear formation of 200,000

00:18:42.380 Russian troops, their equipment tanks and material all around the, the, uh, Eastern, uh, border of Ukraine.

00:18:52.620 And, and, and no one could figure out how to stop this invasion could, could make a single move

00:19:00.220 and see, and, and, and, and, and point of fact, it seems like the Biden administration was doing just

00:19:06.780 about everything it could to prompt a conflict of some sort. I, I, I think you're right. I think there

00:19:14.380 was, I, I, I mean, I, I think, and, you know, I mean, now certainly it would seem useful for the

00:19:19.980 Biden administration. I mean, again, not only blaming Vladimir Putin for, uh, for inflation,

00:19:25.980 but insofar as this is supposed to be an enormous distraction, right. From, from, from what Biden is

00:19:32.060 doing here in the United States. I mean, you can see from, as, as, as again, I'm your description

00:19:39.020 of them as nihilist is going to stick with me for a while. That's the framework in which I'm

00:19:43.740 now going to understand it, because I do believe that their intent, that they see this as a fire sale

00:19:49.740 to sell off, to sell off the United States, but right. What are the different opportunities

00:19:55.020 that war in Eastern Europe would present, um, to a nihilistic, uh, to a nihilistic institution

00:20:03.580 like the Biden administration? It's again, it's just, we're, we're seeing things that I think no

00:20:09.500 Americans expected to ever see in our country. And, and I keep, I keep trying to explain the way to really

00:20:18.140 see this is in terms of, of third world actors, because that, uh, you know, that, that appears

00:20:24.380 to be where, um, a lot of these figures are, are, are gathering their inspiration from third world

00:20:33.820 regimes. If we look at the different things that's happening, not least of which, again,

00:20:37.340 the connection between the intelligence services and the press, how these are used as, as messaging

00:20:42.620 operations. Right. Disinformation, you know, the, the, the, the decision by Biden to create

00:20:49.180 something called the disinformation governance board, uh, an Orwellian term, if ever there were

00:20:55.740 one and, uh, a, a, a straight out, uh, totalitarian purpose in, in creating it, obviously for the

00:21:05.740 government to be able to determine what is true and what is false and what may be spoken and what may

00:21:12.140 not be even thought. Uh, it's an, this is a moment known. I certainly didn't anticipate, uh, this

00:21:20.460 president and this and his masters having the guts to try to, to pull off and perpetuate, uh, on the

00:21:29.740 American people. I totally agree. Here's, here's a, here's a recent pet peeve of mine. See, after this

00:21:37.180 person, uh, Nina Jankiewicz, I think that's her name was named that the head, the disinformation

00:21:42.940 board, I'm seeing lots of, you know, I'm seeing some Republicans and conservatives, either they're

00:21:48.380 on TV or they're on social media and they're saying, well, how can she be the head of the

00:21:53.500 disinformation board? She peddled disinformation herself. And I'm like, the point is there should

00:21:59.100 not be a disinformation board at all. This is the United States. The issue is not that Joe Biden

00:22:04.940 picked the wrong person to head the disinformation board. There should not be a disinformation board.

00:22:11.020 So I just find it baffling that even conservatives and Republicans are totally disoriented by this.

00:22:18.380 They can't see straight what's going on. Hey, it's not that they have, it's not that they have the wrong,

00:22:23.820 they picked the wrong executioner. It's that they picked an executioner at all. That's the issue.

00:22:30.940 Exactly. And, and, and, and well put, I, I have, I had a strange reaction to Nina, uh, and her, her, uh,

00:22:41.420 internet, uh, video of her singing and playing, you know, uh, like Mary Poppins, uh, to, uh, for all the

00:22:51.420 world, uh, to a disinformation agency that would be generating even more disinformation. Right.

00:22:58.540 As she started singing, uh, all of these obscene vulgar lyrics, I, I just had, I, my mind went right

00:23:07.100 back to Mel Brooks and the springtime for Hitler, which was a perverse, a perverse construction,

00:23:15.260 uh, of that, which was comic, uh, comedic, uh, and satirical. And here she is giving life to that

00:23:26.540 in an evil purpose. If ever there were one, it was just disgusting.

00:23:31.660 God bless you thinking of Mel Brooks, because I saw that and I'm thinking much darker movies.

00:23:37.180 I'm thinking like really ugly mood, like paranoid films from the seventies and eighties, right?

00:23:43.180 Looking at a future dystopian America and you have, you have a, a sensor, a so-called censorship board,

00:23:50.700 right? Coming out of a ministry of the information. And the person who's the head of it

00:23:54.460 is, is, is, is an angry college graduate, right? An angry, frustrated young woman who's actually

00:24:02.300 part of a musical singing troupe. Yeah. And that's what it is. It's just, it's a, it's like a terrible,

00:24:08.140 it's like an unmade Stanley Kubrick movie because he thought it was too gross thinking about the

00:24:13.740 whole thing. And that's what we have now. Truly. And this has become Ayn Rand's greatest nightmare.

00:24:21.020 Uh, it is, uh, we are looking at a, a, a country right now that can't separate. It seems at least

00:24:28.860 it's media can't, I probably should be saying won't, uh, because their corporate masters would

00:24:34.780 not be pleased, but they're not carrying out anything even remotely resembling independent

00:24:41.340 objective journalism, because I think now they've forgotten what that means. I think they've forgotten

00:24:46.780 how to do it. They don't know what those cameras are for, what those, uh, what those, uh, all of those

00:24:53.900 devices that surround them are for, which is to impart knowledge to the body politic, not try to define

00:25:03.420 and, uh, guide and indoctrinate as they do day in and day out for now years. It's just,

00:25:12.940 it's impossible to imagine. They are, their job as they see it, I believe is to advance the interest

00:25:20.540 of the party. And that's why, again, why I say that really to understand what's happening, to understand

00:25:26.620 with what I think is fair to call a regime and regime interest is this is like the third world

00:25:32.940 world and like the, like, like third world security States, right? That it's, that's what the media is.

00:25:40.620 It's the ministry of information to advance party interest and to indoctrinate the public.

00:25:47.260 And I'll say one, the difference is, is that we have a very healthy and robust opposition.

00:25:55.820 Part of that is because of opposition media, like you Lou at right at the top,

00:26:01.580 there's other people, there's other people who are part of it, incredibly robust people who are

00:26:07.260 out there all the time, describe describing really what's happening. And, and look, we have room to

00:26:12.700 do it right now. And if they try to take the room away from, from us, we're going to keep fighting for

00:26:17.900 it. So I, again, whenever things, you know, whenever things look a little dark and a little desperate,

00:26:23.660 I I'm reminded that we're, we're fighting, right? You and I were fighting. We have other great allies,

00:26:31.100 other people who are in there fighting, who are part of the opposition. It is, it's an exciting,

00:26:36.620 it's terrible moment for the country, but, um, the country's been through harder things before

00:26:42.300 and we have room to fight and that's what we're doing.

00:26:45.740 And, and we're figuring out how to fight as we go here because none of us, uh, no, no matter what,

00:26:52.460 none of us knew, uh, had any training in, in working against the dark and evil forces of this

00:26:59.820 magnitude persistence. It's just, uh, it's a truly incredible moment in history.

00:27:06.860 State department has been funding opposition media across the world since all during the cold war,

00:27:14.060 how to be an opposition media, how to fight totalitarian regimes. At the same time,

00:27:18.700 little did we know our own deep state is acquiring power here in the United States.

00:27:24.220 So the same people who are out there, uh, in foreign countries, building opposition media

00:27:30.380 are here inside shutting us down, right? That's the Nina Jankowicz story. Well, while the state

00:27:36.620 department is out there helping Egyptian media or, or, or, uh, you know, Bolivian media,

00:27:42.700 whatever it is, Kenyan media here, the same, the same bureaucracies are crushing,

00:27:49.820 are trying to crush the American public and tried to crush American opposition forces.

00:27:55.660 And occasionally we just get lucky. Like when president Biden accidentally,

00:28:01.260 accidentally admitted that his administration and the Democrat party have no plan to cut energy prices.

00:28:09.100 We knew it, but I didn't think we would ever hear it from his lips. So that is sort of the adventure

00:28:14.700 of Joe Biden, because you just don't know what he's going to say. And occasionally, uh, he mistakenly

00:28:21.900 speaks the truth, uh, rare and, but it is noteworthy when he does. Uh, and, and I've got to give Tim

00:28:30.300 Scott some credit to, he actually confronted treasury secretary, Janet Yellen, but she said

00:28:36.540 abortion will being pro-life in this country will cost the economy. Can you believe the,

00:28:43.100 the ignorance of Janet Yellen, the former fed chairman now treasury secretary is now quantifying

00:28:51.820 the costs of what is an immoral and barbaric act, uh, to be endorsed by the United States of America

00:29:01.500 for a half century. They're so on, they're so on message though, aren't they? Everything is the

00:29:08.780 same. Oh yeah. Abortion is going to hurt the, it's going to hurt the climate too. We need, we need climate

00:29:15.020 justice, abortion, right? Everything at all. It all fits into the same thing. I, I, I don't know.

00:29:20.860 I got to tell you if, if, if, if, if abortions aren't safe and what happens to our man, Zelensky

00:29:25.980 in Kiev, we're, we're, we're, we're jeopardy, we're jeopardizing Zelensky if we can't keep abortions,

00:29:32.060 uh, if it, if it's not a constitutional right, what are we going to, I mean, everything for them,

00:29:37.020 it's just this, it's just insane. I mean, it's, it's not that it's not that they're on message

00:29:42.300 because it's no longer a political party. It's an ideological instrument. It's right. Watching

00:29:50.300 this, like none of us, none of us expected it here. And, and, and here it is. And, and, and,

00:29:56.620 and I think we're, we're doing a great job. We're doing a great job. I mean, really just to keep

00:30:01.980 fighting this, it's, it's great. And we, as I say, and we do get lucky, uh, Bill Barr coming out with

00:30:08.140 this book and accidentally admitting, I believe it was an accident, uh, at least the consequences

00:30:14.780 of it. I don't think he had thought out when he acknowledged, he knew Joe Biden running against

00:30:21.340 president Trump in the third debate in 2020 was lying through his teeth about Hunter Biden,

00:30:27.100 the laptop and about the scandal that enmeshed the entire Biden family. Right. And now he suddenly

00:30:36.380 realizes, wait a minute, I just confessed to the greatest, greatest political crime in, uh,

00:30:42.940 in American history. Right. And I changed history because president Trump was not reelected. And Joe

00:30:50.860 Biden is in his dotage and impaired state president of the United States. What a terrific burden for him.

00:31:01.980 And he is now amongst those the first to say it's a federal crime for left-wing activists

00:31:08.540 to be going to Supreme court justices homes to protest and demonstrate and disrupt their lives so

00:31:17.740 that they are intimidated and might, might change their votes. Incredible.

00:31:23.180 It's, um, as, as I, as I said before, I think it's, it's very sad for a lot of, it's very sad for a lot

00:31:31.180 of officials not to understand, not to understand the situation before us. I think it's becoming

00:31:37.580 clearer and clearer for a lot of people. I think, uh, you know, and, and many are, many are rising to

00:31:42.860 the occasion, but for those not to see what I'll tell, I'll tell you what, speaking of, of seeing things

00:31:48.380 more clearly. Here's another thing that's kind of getting on my nerves. There was some report about

00:31:52.940 how coming out of the Biden white house, about how Joe Biden is, um, you know, Joe Biden feels very

00:31:58.780 competitive with Barack Obama. He, he, he, he feels he's being a more progressive and transformative

00:32:04.540 president. And, and that's the reason for a lot of these policies. I'm like, well, come on. Well, Joe Biden is, is

00:32:12.140 barely there, right? The idea that somehow he's competing with Barack Obama is preposterous. I don't

00:32:18.620 understand why we won't point to the facts. We see that Barack Obama has been living in Washington,

00:32:25.820 right? Has been living in Washington since he left the white house, the first president to do so since

00:32:31.260 Woodrow Wilson, who couldn't leave Washington because he's had a stroke. We see that Barack Obama

00:32:36.700 publicly has taken the lead in this disinformation campaign. I do not understand why we won't say why

00:32:44.540 more people won't point to the obvious and that a lot of this is coming out of Barack Obama's head.

00:32:51.020 It's, it's, it's terrible for the country, but it's a fact. The idea that somehow Joe Biden himself

00:32:56.620 is pushing these things is preposterous as, as, as people correctly note all the time, Joe Biden

00:33:03.580 half the times doesn't know, doesn't know what day it is. So the idea that somehow he is responsible

00:33:08.860 for this, that it's Joe, that this is Joe Biden's brainstorm. No, no, that's not what's happening.

00:33:16.060 There's something else going on here. I think we have to amongst other things credit the possibility

00:33:23.420 that indeed the discussion about this being Barack Obama's third term, it could very well be that

00:33:31.900 precisely that as you're, as you're saying, uh, and with which I agree, uh, it is also a period for

00:33:40.940 the Biden puppet masters to, to actually put their pedal to the metal and drive hard for an agenda

00:33:51.580 that no one dream could be done in four years. And they're doing it within a matter of a year and a

00:33:56.460 half. Right. And no one will be held accountable for it. Right. And no one will be held accountable.

00:34:02.060 Yeah. It's, it's again, but that's, that's their nihilism coming out. It's like, we're going to use,

00:34:08.140 we're going to use this old man, um, this vicious and cynical old man to drive our agenda. And no one's

00:34:14.940 going to stop us. They can't stop us and they can't hold us accountable at the polls either. Yeah,

00:34:20.060 it's, it's bad. And, and Lee, as you know, our custom here is to give our guests, uh, the very

00:34:27.820 last word, uh, for each podcast. And, uh, you are, uh, if you will, uh, that, uh, that lucky guest

00:34:37.580 to have the last word. Thank you, Lou. That's very kind. Oh, I know. I, I, I liked my last word to

00:34:45.020 be what it always is whenever you and I speak, because we go through some, you know, some challenging

00:34:50.300 some challenging stuff, stuff that's challenging our country and hurting our country. But again,

00:34:55.900 Americans always rise to the occasion and we've risen to the occasion during even harder times.

00:35:03.420 And, um, it's faith in our country, faith in our neighbors, faith in our history, faith in our

00:35:10.460 heroes that will see us through this too. So I I'm, I'm optimistic in spite of all the, in spite of all

00:35:18.620 the challenges that we're facing. I'm optimistic for our country because of who we are Americans.

00:35:26.620 Well, I feel better for your, your optimism. And I know the audience does as well.

00:35:30.940 I'm good. And, uh, and we need much of it, uh, in these, uh, in these challenges that we all face

00:35:38.460 and this great country faces. Uh, I would just want to say, thank you so much for being with us,
