00:00:00.220 Hello, everybody. I'm Lou Dobbs, and welcome to The Great America Show. Thank you for being with us.
00:00:05.980 About those existential elections. No, I promise you I won't be boring you with numbers or
00:00:11.900 laments about Paradise Lost or Great Expectations Dash today. My wife this morning said she couldn't
00:00:19.660 think of a time when winning the House of Representatives felt more like a defeat,
00:00:24.560 or holding the Dems to basically a tie in the Senate felt more like a win. Mostly, I think
00:00:31.360 we've all been whipsawed by the non-stop corporate media and Marxist Dems psyops run every day up to
00:00:39.140 the midterm elections. But we all survived, didn't we? We didn't succeed, but we may well have gotten
00:00:45.700 more than we really deserved with the GOP winning the majority in Congress. Don't you think?
00:00:50.940 These are troubling times, no matter how you look at it. Troubling times of immense proportions,
00:00:57.200 aren't they? In large measure, I think, the Marxist Dems have the American people under some sort of
00:01:03.380 a psychological spell, as they've weaponized the parts of government we once knew to be there to
00:01:10.020 protect citizens, to assure law and order, and even justice. Instead, they've not only weaponized our
00:01:17.180 FBI, our Department of Justice, and many of our courts against us, they've worked hard to normalize
00:01:23.980 their anti-American programs and policies to render us accepting of a wide-open border, to the targeting
00:01:31.660 of citizens who insist on their parental rights and the well-being of their children in our public
00:01:37.300 schools, and, of course, the denial of our constitutional rights, the deprivation of those
00:01:43.120 same rights to our fellow citizens, including the January 6th demonstrators and protesters who've been
00:01:49.920 caught up in the Marxist left's exploitation of that day for their ideological purposes and election
00:01:57.160 advantages. And their programs, their disaffection programs, have worked, and worked well. Almost a
00:02:05.840 thousand of our citizens are in political prisons, wasting in various jails and prisons in the D.C.
00:02:12.140 area. And some have been held without charge, without trial, for now almost two years. And nothing
00:02:19.120 is done. Nothing is being done. Nothing seems like it can be done. And this hopeless national disgrace
00:02:27.900 is perpetrated by the Marxist Dems with the passive indifference of the GOP. It is a national tragedy, 0.68
00:02:35.180 borne by individuals who might as well be victims of a faraway totalitarian third-world government.
00:02:42.880 No one ever dreamed this could happen in America. And no one has covered their plight better than our
00:02:49.200 guest today, Julie Kelly. She's a terrific journalist. You can read her work on americangreatness.com.
00:02:56.060 And her book is January 6th, How Democrats Use the Capitol Protest to Launch a War on Terror
00:03:02.540 Against the Political Right. Julie Kelly is doing great work as well in covering the constant,
00:03:09.200 insistent corruption of the FBI and Department of Justice. Great to have you with us, Julie. And tell
00:03:15.780 us, first of all, bring us up to date on the lawsuit you're reporting on on the corruption and collusion
00:03:21.180 between the Biden regime and big tech. So, Lou, there is a fascinating lawsuit right now happening in
00:03:30.560 Louisiana. And that is the attorneys general from Missouri and Louisiana filed a civil suit against
00:03:38.880 more than five dozen government officials to expose their deep collusion with big tech to censor and
00:03:53.700 suppress posts on social media that were contradictory to the official narrative, especially related to
00:04:00.680 COVID and vaccines. Also, the Hunter Biden laptop suppression and a number of issues. So, there's a
00:04:08.560 judge down in Louisiana, Judge Terry Doty, and he's overseeing this lawsuit. And in October, he ordered
00:04:15.740 the deposition of eight government officials, including Anthony Fauci and former press secretary,
00:04:21.900 Jen Psaki. Well, they've been fighting these depositions. Jen Psaki filed a separate motion in a different 0.55
00:04:29.300 court seeking to quash the subpoena for her deposition. They kicked it back to this judge. 0.96
00:04:35.560 And on Monday afternoon, the judge denied her motion to quash the subpoena, said she attempted an end
00:04:42.740 around around the court's order, which, of course, she did. Mocked her for saying basically she is too busy 0.95
00:04:49.620 to offer a court-ordered deposition for her role in the government. And she will have to sit for a 0.70
00:04:56.160 videotaped deposition on December 8th, which her attorneys also want to be kept under protective
00:05:01.980 seal. It's, well, that's a nice positive step. And I don't know if I expected it or if I was just
00:05:11.300 hoping so much that it would occur. But this is an important lawsuit and has the potential to really be
00:05:18.760 revelatory, doesn't it?
00:05:20.620 It really does, Lou. And it's kind of flying under the radar.
00:05:24.700 But it's it's moving pretty quickly. And again, these are five dozen, nearly six dozen government officials,
00:05:32.580 the U.S. Surgeon General, of course, Joe Biden himself and Alejandro Mayorkas,
00:05:38.360 Jen Psaki, Anthony Fauci, several top level officials in the Biden administration,
00:05:45.420 because they want to expose, right, how the government and these agencies are working with
00:05:53.120 most powerful information platforms in the world to ban content that the government does not want
00:05:59.960 people to see. Well, that's in direct violation, of course, to the First Amendment, which is the
00:06:04.220 argument in this lawsuit. I suspect, Lou, we will learn a lot more from this lawsuit than we will from
00:06:11.140 any kind of dragged out congressional investigations that the Republicans are now promising.
00:06:17.580 This has been a subject, an issue that is the relationship between government and big tech and
00:06:24.700 social media in suppressing the public's right to know. That's been sort of been unfolding in sort of
00:06:31.960 peculiar ways. We, you know, we find out that the FBI actually had face to face contact,
00:06:37.660 with social media. We found out that top officials through the whistleblowers have been working
00:06:46.980 with a number of companies and other entities to suppress stories in national media. It's really
00:06:57.000 starting to come together in all places. This lawsuit by, I think it's what, 20 attorneys general,
00:07:04.220 led by Jeff Landry and Eric Schmidt from Missouri. I mean, that's not exactly the place you would have
00:07:12.600 expected this all to originate, is it? It's not. But you know what, Lou? It shows the power that
00:07:18.480 Republican attorney generals have and that they need to use because we now have a fully weaponized
00:07:25.260 Department of Justice working on behalf of Joe Biden and the Democrats, shamelessly, recklessly,
00:07:30.200 vengefully, vengefully going after Trump and his supporters. So the only recourse is what could
00:07:37.280 happen in the states. And I mean, I think this is a very powerful lawsuit. I really applaud Eric Schmidt
00:07:43.900 and Jeff Landry for filing this. And to your point, Lou, they are also going to depose a man named Elvis
00:07:51.160 Chan. He's an FBI agent who works out of the San Francisco FBI field office. He is one of the direct
00:07:58.460 conduits between the FBI and big tech because, of course, the San Francisco field office is in the
00:08:05.200 heart of Silicon Valley. Now, of course, the FBI is not investigating any of the 300 plus big tech
00:08:12.300 companies in that jurisdiction, right, for violating First Amendment, deplatforming people, violating
00:08:19.960 certain federal laws like election interference. No. Elvis Chan is a conduit to give the FBI and DOJs
00:08:27.960 marching orders to big tech what they're supposed to suppress and ban and what they're supposed to
00:08:33.540 amplify. His deposition will be as interesting, I think, as Jen Psaki's or anyone else's.
00:08:41.180 You know, and the way you just put it, I think, is is not the way many people think about this
00:08:46.700 this issue of the FBI and the Department of Justice pushing out against particular stories or
00:08:53.400 information or Russian disinformation as they styled it in the case of the 51 signatories from the veterans
00:09:02.280 of our intelligence agencies in 2020. It is actually handing them a list of what to do and what not to
00:09:11.240 do. This is picking winners and losers in the in the most in the rawest way. And to have it at this
00:09:20.320 level, we've known about it, I guess we've known about it really since 2016, 2017. Those of us who
00:09:28.240 are covering it every day, we've known that they were active in this in this fashion. But to see it
00:09:35.080 still in in effect persisting through today, after all we've been through the election of 2020, now the
00:09:43.420 election of 2022. And on it goes, it is just, it is so broad. It is so deep, this this corruption,
00:09:55.340 political corruption, and this denial of the public's right to know. It's just it's shameless,
00:10:03.500 it's disgusting, it's appalling. And it's so large, that it's almost impossible to get to get your head 0.99
00:10:11.020 around. And what's it going to take to bring all of this under control and to rid the federal
00:10:17.480 government of this kind of political corruption? I mean, I think this lawsuit will go a long way.
00:10:26.780 I think some of the revelations, Lou, that are coming out of the January 6 trials, which is the
00:10:33.320 extensive use of informants run into the key militia groups, the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers now
00:10:39.580 months before January 6, not only sort of confirms what people like me and Darren Beatty have been
00:10:46.740 covering, which is the very, the likelihood that the FBI not only participated in January 6, but really
00:10:56.560 helped organize and provoke the events of that day. It's sort of supporting that. But on the flip side,
00:11:03.300 Lou, you have even people at the left, the New York Times who confirmed the existence of eight
00:11:08.540 informants and the Proud Boys before January 6. What they're asking, Lou, is wait a second,
00:11:14.980 Christopher Wray and the FBI and the Democrats and even the January 6 committee have made it sound
00:11:19.760 like everyone was caught off guard, that this was, you know, behind the scenes maneuvering incitement
00:11:25.240 by Donald Trump. Then his speech kind of lit the flame that day. But that's not what Christopher Wray
00:11:31.900 and they have been, they've never admitted that they had numerous government assets working in these
00:11:38.380 groups and who knows where else. So the idea that they didn't have knowledge now completely contradicts
00:11:45.480 the fact that they had informants, confidential human sources in these groups. Were they collecting
00:11:52.560 information and not passing it to the FBI? Did they collect information and they didn't expect anything
00:11:59.160 to happen that day? Or does this look more like the quote unquote plot to abduct and assassinate
00:12:07.640 Gretchen Whitmer in 2020, which is where dozens of FBI supervising agents, undercover agents and
00:12:15.100 informants working out of multiple field offices, stitch this group together, provoked organized meetings,
00:12:22.680 you know, created encrypted chats to sort of promote this overheated rhetoric that was used as evidence.
00:12:32.120 But to make it look like these white supremacist militiamen loyal to Donald Trump were going to try to
00:12:37.100 kidnap Gretchen Whitmer. It was all an FBI fabrication. So did they put that on steroids for January 6,
00:12:44.760 which has been, of course, my suspicion and Darren Beatty's suspicion and a few other people's,
00:12:49.100 you know, from the beginning? Or did they just use really bad informants who didn't pass this along
00:12:55.160 to their handling agents who then didn't pass it on to top law enforcement? Lots of questions now being
00:13:01.580 asked on both sides. It's a bad prosecution. It's a horrible investigation. And it looks like it was an
00:13:09.280 instigation as well as an investigation on the part of the FBI. Your thoughts about it all?
00:13:14.700 Well, look, there is nothing in my view that is more illustrative of the willingness and capability
00:13:21.340 of the FBI to use whatever powers it has to create political narratives to help Democrats sabotage
00:13:28.360 Donald Trump and promote FBI Director Christopher Wray's absurd, phony claim that domestic violent
00:13:36.060 extremists pose a dangerous threat to the country. Now, two men were convicted. This was in a retrial.
00:13:44.700 They got a hung jury in the April trial where two other men were outright acquitted after their
00:13:51.080 defense attorneys argued this was an FBI entrapment scheme. The other two men got a hung jury. The
00:13:57.380 government went back, retried them in August, thanks to a lot of help by the judge in the second trial
00:14:04.120 who did outrageous things helping DOJ promote their case, where those men found guilty. Their attorneys
00:14:12.640 are going to immediately appeal after these men are sentenced at the end of December. That's the
00:14:17.760 process, I guess. But this case is far from over. And so the idea that, oh, there were convictions. Well,
00:14:25.080 I followed both trials every single day. I know exactly what the judge did. There's also accusations of
00:14:30.900 juror misconduct in the second trial. So this thing is far from over. And I think it's important,
00:14:38.600 right, Lou, to appreciate. These two things are happening at the same time. The very same time the
00:14:45.200 FBI is running the Whitmer Fednapping hoax. They are running informants into Oath Keepers and Proud Boys,
00:14:52.060 the two similar militia groups that aren't militias, but whatever, tied to January 6. So there's no way to
00:14:59.120 look at the Whitmer Fednapping and say, oh, but it was different in January 6. They were really just
00:15:04.180 being used to collect intelligence, see what these guys were up to, yada, yada. No, this was all part
00:15:11.360 of the same operation. And here's the kicker, Lou. The direct, the head of the Michigan FBI field
00:15:18.460 office, Stephen D'Antuano, he was the guy responsible for the main handling agents and the main informants
00:15:25.140 and undercover agents. He was promoted in the middle of October 2020 by Christopher Wray to go
00:15:32.400 where? The Washington, D.C. FBI field office. So he took one operation, took it to another operation
00:15:40.980 in D.C. before January 6 and on January 6. He's also the guy who told us the pipe bombs were legit
00:15:48.220 and he was going to investigate the pipe bombers until he found it. And here we are almost two years
00:15:53.260 later. No pipe bomber, no report, no interest. It's been totally a memory hold. You can't disconnect
00:15:59.860 all of these similarities and coincidences, right? Yep. And there's another coincidence because the
00:16:06.560 Mar-a-Lago raid came out of the Washington field office, the D.C. field office, which is where,
00:16:12.920 as you say, he had been ensconced as a promotion from his evil doings in Michigan, right?
00:16:20.520 That's right. And that is why Stephen D'Antuano's name has appeared on a list sent by House Judiciary
00:16:26.940 Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee last week, notifying Merrick Garland and Christopher Wray
00:16:33.020 of FBI officials they want to interview. Now, Stephen D'Antuano, I've been told by sources,
00:16:39.560 has announced his retirement as of the end of this month. So he is going to try to skate out of town
00:16:46.180 unscathed by House Republicans who I sincerely doubt or hope, at least, that they are not going
00:16:53.660 to let him off the hook because he, more so than anyone, Lou, has questions to answer for both of
00:17:00.860 these, January 6th and the Whitmer Fed napping. Absolutely. And all of his superiors as well.
00:17:06.900 You know, there is an interesting little, what would I call it, an artifice here, that if an FBI agent
00:17:15.540 retires in time, he doesn't have to be brought before or can decline coming before Congress. It's
00:17:23.720 sort of a retirement into congressional immunity. That is a bizarre kind of rule to me. What do you
00:17:32.460 think? Well, it is. And I think that's why I think Tim Tebow, he resigned or was fired. We don't really
00:17:40.120 have a clear story on that. He's another agent out of this just rotted to the core Washington, D.C.
00:17:48.260 FBI field office. And he was the one who helped try to bury the Hunter Biden story, calling it
00:17:55.420 misinformation and burying it somewhere so it could not be sort of reinstated into some sort of
00:18:03.120 investigation. So look, the source of the rot of both the FBI and Department of Justice are in D.C.,
00:18:10.540 not necessarily the headquarters, the Washington field office and the U.S. attorney for Washington
00:18:15.600 for the District of Columbia, Matthew Graves. These are the agents. Those offices need to be shut down.
00:18:21.820 They need to completely be defunded by House Republicans. Why would you fund these powerful
00:18:27.460 offices that are doing nothing but targeting your own members, the leader of the party, Donald Trump,
00:18:33.980 and his voters and supporters across the country for four hour disturbance on January 6th? It's just
00:18:40.940 insanity. So but look, that's where the problems I if Stephen D'Antuano tries to avoid congressional
00:18:48.640 inquiries. I really hope Republicans use whatever powers they have to hold him accountable and
00:18:54.600 culpable. And in public, we need hearings so the American people can see and hear for themselves
00:19:02.080 how these people handle inquisitions into their work on behalf of the American people.
00:19:08.460 Well, I think you're exactly right. And we're so close here. But we've been close before and nothing
00:19:18.040 has come of it. And I see Christopher Wray stand up and say, you know, we have discovered that the
00:19:24.620 Chinese, the communist Chinese have police stations in America. And this is troubling. This is concerning,
00:19:32.340 says Christopher Wray. Well, only a damn fool would be unaware that those police stations have been 0.99
00:19:39.260 here for years. And if the FBI doesn't hadn't known about them for years, we really need to have a house 0.99
00:19:46.060 cleaning. It's preposterous, this political theater that emanates from the FBI and its director
00:19:54.220 shamelessly. What does he expect to happen now? And why? Why on earth is he sitting here talking
00:20:03.180 about his concerns? When is the head of the FBI? He's paid to shut this kind of crap down.
00:20:09.720 It's interesting to watch Christopher Wray in action because he he distances himself from anything 0.99
00:20:17.160 that's happening in the FBI, except when he needs to defend the 36,000 men and women.
00:20:21.740 They're above reproach. You should not question our integrity, our motives, etc., etc. He might be
00:20:28.760 right about some of them. But look, that sort of arrogance, lack of accountability, and really
00:20:36.680 flagrant abuse of power has infected this entire bureau. It is not just a headquarters problem. And
00:20:44.460 Stephen D'Antuano is an example and his agents are an example of that. This infects every single office
00:20:51.640 unfortunately, that kind of hubris, which goes back to James Comey as well. But look, Lou, we've seen
00:20:58.000 Chris Wray finally on the hot seat a little bit. When Representative Clay Higgins confronted him not
00:21:04.040 once but twice last week, during House Home and Security Committee meeting, asking Chris Wray directly,
00:21:10.420 did you have FBI informants dressed like Trump supporters planted inside the Capitol building
00:21:18.440 before protesters entered the building? Yes or no? Chris Wray couldn't answer yes or no. That was an
00:21:27.300 astonishing moment, even for me, because it suggests two things. Representative Higgins has seen video
00:21:33.820 that shows FBI assets disguised as Trump supporters in the Capitol that afternoon. Otherwise, I doubt he'd
00:21:41.240 be asking that question. You could see by the reaction of Chris Wray. He was really caught off guard at that
00:21:46.980 question and actually got really agitated when Higgins said to him, it should be a no. You don't have to
00:21:53.760 hide between sources and methods and investigations, etc. You say no. Of course, that's preposterous. But he
00:22:01.140 didn't because he knows that Representative Higgins knows that that is the fact. You also saw
00:22:08.200 Senator Josh Hawley a few days later confront Wray about skating out of the Senate Judiciary Committee
00:22:15.200 hearing a few months ago, claiming he had a business trip when he was taking a Gulfstream 5 taxpayer
00:22:21.740 funded private jet to meet his family for a summer weekend, I believe, in upstate New York.
00:22:28.600 I hope that Christopher Wray doesn't retire real quickly, because I still think there are a lot
00:22:33.260 of questions he needs to answer and a lot he needs to be held responsible for. But amongst those things
00:22:40.420 is again, and Julie, I tell you what, I get gut sick every time I think about January 6 and those people
00:22:47.580 who are still behind bars. We report, we talk, we talk with people who talk about and some who talk
00:22:57.580 about and try to help these folks. But nothing moves, nothing moves these pitiful excuses for Americans who are 1.00
00:23:08.540 peopling our courts, our Justice Department prosecutors, and FBI investigators. It's a sickening,
00:23:16.200 sickening moment. And I have never felt so helpless as I have. And I mean, helpless to do anything about
00:23:26.240 January 6 and those people. Well, I appreciate your saying that. And I know that people listening,
00:23:34.100 especially the people whose lives have been and are being destroyed by this, just you can't believe
00:23:41.560 so un-American, so abusive. The word I often use is sadistic, because there's something really wrong
00:23:48.800 with these judges, with these prosecutors, and with these agents. Not only are they total liars, 0.99
00:23:56.020 they are gratified by the pain that they are inflicting on Americans who did nothing wrong that
00:24:03.060 day, who have no criminal record, who are patriotic people who love this country, not the handful who
00:24:08.760 engaged in violence, but people who walked into open doors. You had a man now sentenced to three years
00:24:16.680 in prison after he was found guilty for obstruction of an official proceeding, of course, a ridiculous
00:24:22.820 non-violent felony. And I think he took a bottle of booze from someone's desk. And Emmett Sullivan,
00:24:30.520 that crazy, that Emmett Sullivan, who should have retired or been impeached, at least, he blasted this guy.
00:24:40.640 He accused him of contributing to the deaths of police officers that day, which, of course,
00:24:47.200 no police officer died as a result of January 6th. He compared Donald Trump to Hitler. He compared his
00:24:53.240 followers to Nazis. These are the sorts of things that are happening in open court in our nation's
00:25:00.500 capital. It's just astonishing. But look, Lou, the bottom line is it's too late to help these people.
00:25:06.220 The time to have helped them was right when this began, putting money and lawyers on the ground to
00:25:11.960 defend them, to challenge Matthew Graves and the U.S. Attorney for District of Columbia and this DOJ.
00:25:20.820 It's far too late. The only way we can help them is to redeem them to find the truth of January 6th and
00:25:28.880 hold the real criminals, the real perpetrators accountable, even if not criminally, at least
00:25:36.000 publicly so that people can hear what this government did to foment the events of that day to end up
00:25:44.360 where we are now, which is, you know, criminal indictment of Donald Trump in the works, criminal
00:25:50.340 prosecutions of his allies, his associates, and of course, his voters.
00:25:55.640 Well, the election is over. I think that there is an opportunity here to help, and that is
00:26:03.640 those who are in leadership of the Republican Party on Capitol Hill and nationally should take up this
00:26:10.060 issue. Those people are all Trump supporters. They need to be helped. Donald Trump needs to stand up
00:26:17.240 and demand help. And I think one of the surest ways to have some influence, and this is just a thought,
00:26:23.700 I want to see what you think of it. I would like to see, because ultimately, Chief Justice John
00:26:29.560 Roberts is responsible for the courts. And I agree for the implication of what you said, if not
00:26:35.400 what you said directly. These judges have the power to stop all of this now, and they refuse to do it.
00:26:45.020 Indeed, they seem to rise to it, to absolutely embrace the idea of punishment for the so-called
00:26:55.100 insurrectionists, which is a pathetic piece of propaganda emanating from the Marxist-left Democratic 0.84
00:27:01.120 Party. But what do you think of the idea of putting the focus on John Roberts, because he does have
00:27:07.460 the responsibility and the power to intervene and do something about it with these sadistic judges?
00:27:14.600 I think you're exactly right to call it what it is. They're sadistic and they're vicious. 0.97
00:27:19.420 I mean, I don't have a lot of faith that John Roberts would do anything. I mean, he lives in
00:27:25.920 the same, you know, they run in the same circles in Washington, D.C. and in the suburbs in Virginia
00:27:32.040 and Maryland. They're all in the same little group together. This D.C. district court has done nothing
00:27:37.320 but act like a rubber stamp for this Justice Department. And I'll tell you what, the Trump-appointed
00:27:41.880 judges are as bad, and I know we've talked about this, they're as bad as people like Emmett
00:27:46.380 Sullivan or the Democrats. Judge Tim Kelly, a Trump appointee who is a former prosecutor
00:27:53.160 in the U.S. Attorney's District of Columbia office. I just watched a pretrial hearing for him
00:28:00.200 for the Proud Boys. That trial starts next month. Judge Tim Kelly has kept four men behind bars since
00:28:09.480 the spring. In fact, one, I believe Joe Biggs has been there since January 2021, right when he was
00:28:15.700 arrested. They will have been incarcerated for almost two years on nonviolent offenses before they even have
00:28:22.700 a chance to go to trial. And I watch him and his smugness. And there's not even a flicker of
00:28:30.800 conscience in that man looking at the men at the table who I saw who had been behind bars away from
00:28:37.480 their families suffering in solitary confinement conditions. Veterans. Joe Biggs is a veteran.
00:28:44.240 He's been in jail now for almost two years away from his young daughter, his life destroyed.
00:28:49.600 And Judge Kelly doesn't even care. Prosecutors don't even care. These men did nothing wrong.
00:28:57.160 They didn't bring weapons. They didn't assault police officers. And here they are rotting in jail
00:29:03.340 before they go before a D.C. jury that sadly, because DOJ has a 99.9 percent record, victory record
00:29:13.800 before D.C. juries in J6 cases. Sadly, go before a D.C. jury where they probably will be convicted.
00:29:21.180 And these same judges, they have not moved a single trial out of Washington, D.C., a city that voted 93 percent
00:29:26.520 for Joe Biden. Yeah. And just for those who think the name Emmett Sullivan sounds familiar, he is also
00:29:33.680 the district court judge in D.C. who decided to act as prosecutor as well as judge in the General Michael
00:29:41.960 Flynn case in which the Department of Justice and the Attorney General had ordered
00:29:47.660 the suspension of the prosecution against General Kelly. And he decided, and everybody I talked to
00:29:58.680 had never heard of a federal judge doing this, decided to intercede himself and make the decision
00:30:04.580 and fight the Justice Department on its request to the judge, very respectful, General Michael Flynn,
00:30:12.120 to end his prosecution and free him. And he started fighting it from the bench. The appellate court,
00:30:21.280 to its credit, made it known that they were not pleased with his position. He still persisted,
00:30:26.320 but then ultimately gave way to the appellate court. It's remarkable. The man is completely mad as far
00:30:33.280 as I'm concerned. But a lot of them are like that, unfortunately. He is, you know, this is what
00:30:39.160 I've seen from almost every single one of these D.C. district court judges. Look, Lou, it's also time
00:30:45.020 to impeach a federal judge. I think the last time a federal judge was impeached was maybe two decades
00:30:52.340 ago. House Republicans are really serious, and this is a deadly serious time. At least one of these
00:31:01.320 judges, whether it's Emmett Sullivan, whether it's Beryl Howell, who is the chief judge who is overseeing
00:31:07.320 this farce in that courthouse, whether it's a judge like Tim Kelly, who is clearly violating
00:31:14.520 numerous constitutional rights of these defendants. I've got a long list. I've got a long list of their
00:31:21.320 comments about a long list of their rulings, not just denying, you know, speedy trial, due process,
00:31:28.040 presumption of innocence, but refusing to move these trials out of Washington, D.C., when it is
00:31:34.420 so obvious these men and women cannot get a fair trial. Emmett Sullivan, I should point out, I'm
00:31:41.520 pretty sure of this. I think he is a senior judge or effectively a retired judge who is brought in to
00:31:47.960 pick up. You know, there's the other sad part of this. The federal court system is such a morass of
00:31:55.020 backed up cases. It's just a sludge to get through the federal court system. They don't have enough
00:32:02.180 judges, and their senior judges seem to be getting more and more of the important mainstream cases
00:32:09.440 just because of that alone. His senior status, he should be retired and forthwith, I think.
00:32:19.440 Oh, I agree. I mean, I think a lot of them, you have judges like Tom Hogan, 83 years old,
00:32:25.920 appointed by Ronald Reagan. He's still on that court. Royce Lamberth, also appointed by Ronald Reagan.
00:32:31.680 He's still on that court. They have been also egregious in their handling of January 6 cases.
00:32:37.580 They have open contempt for these Trump supporters. They also have kept men detained behind bars,
00:32:44.180 denying the bail. Royce Lamberth was the judge in the Jacob Chansley case, kept him in jail.
00:32:50.100 After 317 days in solitary confinement, DOJ tortured him into a plea deal. He pleaded guilty to
00:32:56.760 the obstruction of an official proceeding count, again, a non-violent felony related to the post-Enron
00:33:03.040 era. Jacob Chansley begged for mercy. Royce Lamberth sentenced him to 41 months in prison.
00:33:11.820 A veteran, again, with no criminal record, rotting in jail for walking into a public building, 0.94
00:33:18.300 talking with police, going into the Senate chamber, leading a prayer, and leaving.
00:33:22.540 Yeah, you know, and, you know, I think every veterans group in the country should be marching
00:33:28.900 on Washington to stop this. They haven't said a word. They have not said a word. Nope, they haven't
00:33:32.880 said a word, as have so few. And those of us who have said a word feel all the worse because we can't
00:33:40.920 do anything. It's, there's got to be a solution here, but it's one that certainly I haven't found.
00:33:47.820 And without your reporting, we would know almost nothing about what is happening.
00:33:55.040 Julie, as always, thank you for being here. Thanks for all your reporting, all that you're doing to
00:33:59.980 chronicle this national disgrace, because it is that. It is just, it's just incredible to think
00:34:07.860 that this is happening in the United States of America. Julie Kelly, thank you so much for being with
00:34:13.680 us again here on The Great America Show. God bless you. God bless you, Lou. Thanks so much for
00:34:19.300 having me on and covering my work. I really appreciate it. Thanks to Julie Kelly, and I want
00:34:24.920 to urge you to pick up her book, January 6th, Essential to Understanding What the Left is Doing
00:34:30.640 in D.C. and Doing to All of Us. The book is January 6th, How Democrats Use the Capitol Protest
00:34:37.660 to Launch a War on Terror Against the Political Right. Thank you, and thank you, everybody,
00:34:44.160 for being with us today. Please join us here tomorrow when our guest will be Congressman Andy
00:34:48.360 Biggs, running for Speaker of the House, fighting the rhino Ryan handpick Kevin McCarthy for the top
00:34:54.960 job. By the way, just wondering, why do Republicans get elected by their voters and then turn over their
00:35:02.740 leadership once they get to Washington to the rhinos? Perhaps that's part of the reason the Republican
00:35:09.020 Party is a bit of a mess, don't you think? Please join us here tomorrow. Till then, God bless you,
00:35:15.320 and may God bless America.
