00:01:14.940 Hello, everybody. I'm Lou Dobbs and welcome to The Great America Show. Great to have you with us

00:01:22.760 today. Why would Republicans give the corrupt FBI and Department of Justice the power all over again

00:01:30.280 to spy on them as they have already done and to spy on all of us as they have already and give them a

00:01:37.780 new building to boot? What's next? We take up that question here today. President Trump skipped the

00:01:43.980 final GOP debate of the 2024 election cycle last night, just like he has from the very beginning.

00:01:50.800 And oh, is the punishment severe. President Trump has only a 50-point lead over the bunch.

00:01:57.060 The stage was left to the final four, or the quad if you prefer, all soon to be crushed in the

00:02:02.920 primaries. Nikki Haley, Ron DeSantis, Chris Christie, Vivek Brahmaswamy. Trump used the night to do a town

00:02:10.120 hall with Fox's Sean Hannity, where he spoke directly to the voters and not the special

00:02:15.000 interest and mega donors who are throwing their money away instead of supporting the most popular

00:02:20.240 improved candidate of them all, namely President Donald Trump, the only one who can straighten out

00:02:26.340 the mess the elites and the Marxist Dems have made of this country. The corporate media, the mainstream

00:02:32.100 media, jetting up another phony narrative. They're afraid Trump's second term in office will be all

00:02:38.280 about retribution, and he'll behave just like a dictator. In other words, just like Joe Biden in

00:02:45.080 that respect. Here's President Trump's reaction to that preposterous nonsense.

00:02:49.980 Issue, though, because the media has been focused on this and attacking you under no circumstances.

00:02:56.300 You are promising America tonight. You would never abuse power as retribution against anybody.

00:03:03.400 Except for day one. Except for? He's going crazy. Except for day one. Meaning? I want to close the

00:03:09.420 border and I want to drill, drill, drill. That's not retribution. I'm going to be, I'm going to be,

00:03:17.940 you know, he keeps, we love this guy. He says, you're not going to be a dictator, are you? I said,

00:03:22.760 no, no, no, no, other than day one. We're closing the border and we're drilling, drilling, drilling.

00:03:28.120 After that, I'm not a dictator. That sounds to me like you're going back to the policies when you

00:03:33.020 were president. All right. President Trump has lost none of his sense of humor despite it all.

00:03:37.580 A very busy week on Capitol Hill. FBI Director Christopher Wray testifying about renewal of

00:03:44.180 the FISA 702 and Senator Dick Durbin blocking Senator Marsha Blackburn's request to subpoena

00:03:50.740 Jeffrey Epstein's flight logs who flew on the Lolita Express to the, well, the Epstein Island.

00:03:59.400 Now, why would a senator, a U.S. senator, want to block the flight logs of a known predator

00:04:05.420 who was preying on young girls? When asked just yesterday why he was blocking that release,

00:04:11.720 Durbin, well, he's, he must have a cognitive issue or maybe he's just stonewalling.

00:04:17.400 Chairman Durbin, can I ask you a quick question? Why won't you subpoena Jeffrey Epstein's flight

00:04:23.180 logs? So who are you? Hillary Vaughn with Fox. Fox, of course. I don't know anything about his

00:04:29.980 flight logs. Why won't you subpoena them? Why don't you want to know? I don't know the issue. I know

00:04:35.520 who Epstein was, but I certainly don't know anything about the issue. Well, he was charged with sex

00:04:40.540 trafficking. So why don't you want to know who was utilizing his private plane? Never been raised

00:04:46.040 by anyone. Senator Blackburn has wanted to subpoena them and there hasn't been a vote in

00:04:51.520 your committee. He said a word to me, not a word. But aren't you curious, like what high profile or

00:04:57.180 powerful people might be closeted predators and pedophiles? Does that concern you? Of course.

00:05:02.580 So why won't you subpoena them if you can't? It's the first time anyone has raised it. Thank

00:05:07.580 you, Fox. Let's end the nonsense. Only the Republicans are trying to tell the American

00:05:12.300 people the truth. If you think it's time for Senator Durbin, well, to quit protecting Jeffrey

00:05:17.960 Epstein and other pedophiles that Epstein associated with, give the Capitol Hill switchboard a call.

00:05:24.880 That's 202-224-3121 and tell them you want to talk to Senator Durbin and talk to him about why

00:05:33.540 he is blocking Marsha Blackburn's subpoena request. That number is 202-224-3121.

00:05:43.500 And crooked Joe Biden caught once again in another lie. The House Ways and Means Committee revealed

00:05:48.880 that as vice president, Joe Biden used email aliases and private email addresses

00:05:54.360 to communicate with son Hunter Biden and Hunter's business associates hundreds of times.

00:06:01.000 The committee obtained that data from IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler,

00:06:07.180 revealing Joe Biden used those aliases 320 times during a nine-year period.

00:06:14.140 Well, our guest today is founder and editor-in-chief of Just the News, John Solomon. And John,

00:06:18.940 great to have you with us. Good to see you, my friend. Give us a sense of what you think is going on

00:06:23.900 and your insight into the latest on the Bidens and, oh yes, renewal of the 702.

00:06:30.540 Yeah, let's start at the top level at 60,000 feet above earth. Joe Biden looked in the camera,

00:06:37.200 winning the presidency by telling the American people, I had nothing to do with my son's business.

00:06:41.420 I didn't benefit from my son's business. I didn't have anything to do with any of that. We now know

00:06:45.680 that is not true. He lied to us like he did on many other subjects like the laptop and other things.

00:06:50.900 But at the highest level, there's an honesty issue now that is laying right in front of the American

00:06:56.080 people. And it's why 60% of Americans now, despite Joe Biden's insistence, they believe he did have

00:07:02.320 something to do with Hunter Biden's business deals. That's a major change. And what's most striking

00:07:07.240 about that change in public sentiment is that it's occurred, even though the mainstream media really

00:07:11.820 hasn't covered most of these revelations. So what does that tell you? It means people are getting

00:07:15.880 their information around the blockade of the mainstream media. And Joe Biden has an honesty

00:07:20.660 problem at its very highest level. Now you begin to work your way down the actual details. And it gets

00:07:27.060 complicated because money comes in from China, goes into one account, goes into another account,

00:07:31.300 it goes to James Biden, and then it comes back in to Joe Biden in the form of a loan repayment.

00:07:39.480 What's interesting about that transaction, which we learned about two weeks ago,

00:07:42.960 and the one yesterday where we find out that Joe Biden was getting $1,340 payments from Hunter Biden's

00:07:50.500 Owosco law firm is the excuse that the Biden White House and the Hunter Biden defenders have given for

00:07:56.540 both transactions. And that is, okay, Joe Biden lent money to his brother and this money came back in.

00:08:02.600 Okay, that's important. That happens sometimes. But the money went out of an account that was a legal

00:08:07.740 counsel account, meaning an account set aside for legal bills. But when it was repaid to Joe Biden,

00:08:14.280 in the case of James Biden, that $40,000 came directly into Joe Biden's personal account.

00:08:19.600 There are very serious questions about the tax consequences of that. If you move something

00:08:23.520 that's been designated as a legal fund account, and then you give it to your brother as a loan,

00:08:28.360 and he pays you back through your personal account, there's a question of whether income was properly

00:08:33.480 accounted for from a tax perspective. Exactly the same issue with Hunter Biden. What the

00:08:38.720 Hunter Biden defenders are saying is, yeah, contrary to what Joe Biden said before, yes,

00:08:44.500 Hunter Biden did pay his father some money. But that's because his father started to pay his truck

00:08:50.260 payments. He had a personal truck that he drove around in. He couldn't afford him during the height of

00:08:55.420 his cocaine addiction. So Joe Biden paid the truck account. Okay, that sometimes happens in families.

00:09:02.940 Families help each other out. Except when Hunter Biden repays the money, he doesn't repay it from

00:09:07.400 his personal account. He repays it from his OWASCO law firm corporate account. Again, potential

00:09:13.440 conversion of assets from a corporate account to a personal income account. Lawmakers have increasing

00:09:20.640 questions about whether Joe Biden was involved in helping his son or him potentially with tax evasion.

00:09:26.520 We need to know more details, but that's where the spotlight has been drawn to as a result of these

00:09:31.740 revelations. You have to, I have to say, I'm, I guess if the, if it weren't so serious, I'd be amused

00:09:40.860 that we have watched this farce go on for five years, a tax investigation by the Internal Revenue

00:09:49.800 Service and the FBI, and they haven't done elementary investigation.

00:09:55.300 Well, listen, there's so many clear patterns now. And remember, all of these were conspiracy theories

00:10:00.220 in 2019 when you and I started talking about it, when I did my original reporting

00:10:04.440 from The Hill. The conspiracy theories was Joe Biden had nothing to do with his son's business. Yes,

00:10:10.400 he did. Joe Biden never got, Joe Biden's family never got money from China. Yes, he did.

00:10:16.780 Nobody believed that these foreign countries were giving up money to Hunter Biden to gain influence

00:10:22.420 with his father. Well, actually they did. In fact, last week's document is shocking for one reason.

00:10:28.240 This is a document released by a money laundering expert at a major American bank. And what they

00:10:34.380 said is, Hey, the money coming in from China, this $5 million forgivable loan from China, which we wrote

00:10:39.580 about a couple of years ago. Now Congress has caught up to it. It looks like an effort by the Chinese 1.00

00:10:44.680 government to gain influence with Joe Biden through his son. That's what the bank saw in real time

00:10:50.060 in 2018 and 2017 when these transactions were going on. The fourth thing is Joe Biden never met

00:10:55.820 with any of his son's business partners. Yes, he did regularly. He met with the Chinese. He met with

00:11:00.460 the Burisma officials. And so I think there are two dozen contacts with either meetings or phone

00:11:06.600 contacts that the committee has done. Now, all of that suggests that there was a major influence

00:11:13.380 peddling operation going on in the Biden family that also has potential tax consequences,

00:11:18.540 potential money laundering consequences. They're no longer conspiracy theories. They are well

00:11:23.800 documented, much like they were in 2019. But the media now can't ignore the evidence. The real

00:11:28.680 question is, how do we have a Treasury Department, a Justice Department, an FBI that saw all of this

00:11:35.440 information coming in all these banks on 170 different occasions? Banks flagged Hunter Biden,

00:11:42.180 Joe Biden transactions 170 times. I've talked to a couple of money laundering experts. They said,

00:11:47.360 listen, when I had really big money laundering cases, maybe the target had 15 or 20 suspicious

00:11:53.560 activity reports. I never saw 170 with one entity or one target of an investigation. All that's coming

00:12:00.420 into the Justice Department, the FBI and the Treasury Department, and nobody takes action. By the way,

00:12:07.620 a lot of those reports came in when President Trump was president. His own Justice and Treasury

00:12:12.240 departments weren't acting upon it. It's why today, Jim Jordan put out a very powerful report showing

00:12:18.280 the specialized treatment that Joe Biden and Hunter Biden have gotten from the Justice Department.

00:12:22.960 If you ever had any doubt that there was a dual system of justice, and I don't think most Americans

00:12:26.820 do anymore. But if you did have a doubt, read Jim Jordan's report today, you will walk away certain

00:12:32.620 that there was a dual system of justice. There was a protection racket, and it kept the Bidens from having

00:12:38.220 the law applied to them like any other American. And you really touch upon something very important.

00:12:45.140 Any American with a sense of fairness, impartiality, and simple curiosity. As you look at this,

00:12:53.600 this is not political. This is not partisan at any level in point of fact. The facts speak for

00:13:00.080 themselves. These were acts taken by Biden, President Biden, his son, his family, interacting with

00:13:07.700 foreign, malign foreign actors, whether they be corporations or whether they be corrupt 0.99

00:13:14.560 governments or officials. It's straightforward. It is. And I love the James Comer refers to Ian Sam's,

00:13:25.480 the sick dog. The Biden White House has put on this to go after Comer and the investigating

00:13:35.500 committees. But Comer refers to him as the little weenie fellow over at the White House. And they

00:13:43.220 have apparently a phalanx of those to try to say there's no evidence. It's an absurdity, that response

00:13:51.560 from the White House. The reason they do it now is because it succeeded so well in 2019. When I wrote

00:13:56.440 my original stories at the Hill, there was plenty of evidence. Most of it was from official government

00:14:01.000 documents. But the Biden, team Biden has gotten away with this no evidence conspiracy theory thing

00:14:07.120 for so long. They're trying it. The problem now is too many people are keen on it. Even mainstream

00:14:11.780 reporters, even if they're not reporting it, they are now privately acknowledging when you talk to them,

00:14:16.420 well, we got lied to. And you're right. Your story, John, we're right. You know, they were picking

00:14:19.540 on me in 2019. Now they come around and say, you're right. And I'm like, well, what are you going to do

00:14:22.600 about it? And the answer is, well, maybe we'll write a story someday. There's still a ho-hum nature to it.

00:14:26.860 But the reporters know now that Joe Biden lied to all of us.

00:14:31.140 We're coming right back with John Solomon. Just the news. We'll be right back.

00:14:41.140 We're back with John Solomon, founder of Just the News. By the way, we don't often bring you news

00:14:47.520 from the ACLU here, but I think we need to share this headline from the ACLU. ACLU urges Congress to

00:14:54.800 oppose attempt to sneak Section 702 reauthorization into the must-pass defense spending bill.

00:15:01.280 That's a big one. We're also seeing a lot of people, organizations, some of the watchdog

00:15:11.340 organizations say no 702 reauthorization without mandatory warrants for everything.

00:15:19.220 John, your take on 702 and what looks to me like from the Senate, a bill that is designed to assure

00:15:27.640 the deep state and the Marxist Dems will be able to spy on us day and night whenever they wish at

00:15:35.180 their whim forevermore.

00:15:37.120 Yeah, listen, I started writing about this in 05 and 06 with the Associated Press and then the

00:15:43.140 Washington Post. And 15 years, 17, 18, 20 years later, there's still the exact same powers in

00:15:49.400 place that were installed after 9-11, despite bipartisan evidence that it has been abused not

00:15:57.100 a dozen times or scores of times, which alone would be terrible. If we just had dozens of violations,

00:16:02.160 scores, that would be horrific. But we're talking hundreds of thousands of violations every two

00:16:07.520 years, according to the data that the FBI submits to the FISA court. It is being abused in a mass way,

00:16:15.160 mass surveillance being abused in violation of its own rules in a mass way. Now, back in 2017,

00:16:22.560 the last time we faced this fateful, 17 and 18, we faced this fateful decision. The Republicans bent at

00:16:29.000 the last minute and gave the FBI everything they wanted. Again, that's when Donald Trump was

00:16:33.040 president and Republicans were in charge of both the House and Senate. This time around, you're

00:16:38.700 seeing odd alliances. You mentioned the ACLU. The ACLU sounds an awful lot like Andy Biggs. Now,

00:16:44.320 on a normal day, you wouldn't say Andy Biggs, very conservative member from congressmen from

00:16:48.420 Arizona and ACLU, have much in common. But they have this in common. They realize now that the FBI has

00:16:54.640 trampled the civil liberties of Americans with impunity for a very long time. And Chris Wright

00:16:59.760 can say every couple of years, oh, I put new protections in. But every two years, the same

00:17:04.280 record of violation keeps being presented. And when we're talking about violations, we're not talking

00:17:10.340 about technical things. We're saying your phone records, your data, your conversations, your text

00:17:17.660 messages are being looked at by the FBI without a warrant, despite the Fourth Amendment's assurance that

00:17:23.900 there would be a court warrant for such activities. This is the moment, I think, where there could be

00:17:29.420 some significant success. It's interesting, but Andy Biggs and Jerry Nadler are in general agreement,

00:17:36.700 a liberal Democrat from New York, a very conservative Republican from Arizona. The ACLU is very closely

00:17:43.740 aligned with several groups of former FBI agents. Across the board, there is now a bipartisan

00:17:49.800 recognition that Section 702 has trampled the Fourth Amendment. And as the clock is running out, we have

00:17:56.380 less than three weeks to get this done before this power expires. Chris Wray has done what Chris Wray has

00:18:02.420 done every time Section 702 or by the way, and he had the director before him going all the way back to

00:18:08.900 Mueller. Well, let's raise the alarm. Oh, my God. If you get rid of Section 702, terrorists will run wild.

00:18:15.120 And he said today on the Senate Judiciary Committee, it's blinking red. Terrorism has been blinking red.

00:18:20.000 By the way, it's been blinking red for about nine months. Honestly, their terror threats are up.

00:18:25.000 But Chris Wray wasn't out there warning about blinking red until the very last minute when,

00:18:29.420 of course, his Section 702 powers are in danger. But I don't think he's going to find the receptive

00:18:35.480 audience that this script has been played before. And I don't think the audience is going to buy the

00:18:40.580 final scene. I think there is enough bipartisan consensus that there will be some significant

00:18:46.160 changes to Section 702. What we're hearing is that going forward, what Democrats and Republicans

00:18:52.020 generally like, is a system where you have to go to court if you're going to go through the

00:18:57.240 phone data records of Americans. Foreigners, you can still do it without. There's no protection of 1.00

00:19:01.520 the Fourth Amendment for foreigners on foreign soil. But any American implicated in American-to-American

00:19:06.700 conversation, American-to-foreign conversation, what they would do is they would create a requirement

00:19:12.740 that there be a warrant that has to accurately meet the standards of probable cause and then be

00:19:17.700 submitted to a court. That would be a major, major change. It would be an enhancement of the

00:19:22.400 protections. Now, not perfect because the FBI has lied to the courts many times. But it certainly would

00:19:28.700 raise the bar and begin to give people a significant opportunity. I'll tell you what I think the turning

00:19:34.060 point was. I think earlier this year, when we learned first from Kash Patel, then Jason Foster,

00:19:39.420 two former very successful congressional investigators who unraveled the Russia collusion,

00:19:44.340 when we learned that the FBI was spying on them using grand jury subpoenas, bypassing.

00:19:50.620 And to be clear, we're talking about the House Intelligence Committee.

00:19:54.100 Right. And judiciary.

00:19:55.220 Five years ago.

00:19:56.100 Yeah. One was House Judiciary. One was Senate Judiciary. I'm sorry. One was House Intelligence.

00:20:00.540 The other was Senate Judiciary. Two separate bodies of Congress. And their lead investigators

00:20:05.760 had their phone records taken. And then it was kept a secret for six years. We don't learn about

00:20:11.120 it until 2023. That puts such a taste in people's mouths. And by the way, there's a staffer for

00:20:17.520 Senator Schumer, a Democrat leader, the Democratic leader of the Senate. He had his records also taken.

00:20:23.820 That put a taste. All of a sudden, when Congress realized, hey, they're snooping on us and we didn't

00:20:28.140 care about the other Americans, but us, hey, there's something wrong here. At that moment,

00:20:32.620 there was a clear turning point. And people like Andy Biggs, who've been fighting for this for a

00:20:37.120 long time, they got momentum. They got bipartisan engagement. I think there'll be some changes. It

00:20:42.500 probably won't be as sweeping as most civil libertarians will like, but it will be a different

00:20:47.020 requirement for FBI before the end of this year. I think that the members of Congress will allow the

00:20:52.940 power to sunset before they will just rubber stamp it. So I think that's going to force the FBI to

00:20:58.920 make some concessions. We'll be right back. We're talking with John Solomon. Please stay with us.

00:21:09.760 We're back with John Solomon. And we are watching the Congress of the United States and the U.S. Senate

00:21:15.960 ready to rubber stamp and try to smooth talk these, you know, these onerous burdens we're about to put

00:21:25.600 on our intelligence community if they want to spy on us. Your thought. Oh, listen, there are the

00:21:31.220 apologists, the same apologists that have allowed so much of the deep state to grow. The intrusion in

00:21:40.600 our lives from federal government is at an all-time high. And I think at the end of the day,

00:21:47.120 you have to wonder what would our founding fathers, if they came back today and they looked at

00:21:51.820 what was being debated in the Senate Judiciary Committee table, when they looked at what

00:21:55.960 Chris Wray acknowledges the FBI do, what would they say? And, you know, not that long ago, a couple

00:22:01.440 years ago, Congressman Morin Davis, and a true champion of civil liberties, he's always been against

00:22:05.620 renewing these powers. He said, our founding fathers would let the bulk surveillance of American

00:22:11.380 citizens expire. They would have done it. And he pulled out of the founding fathers' extraordinary

00:22:17.700 debates during the Constitutional Congress and other places, the exact words that would show

00:22:22.040 exactly what the wise men and women who started this country, who built these protections into the

00:22:26.740 Constitution for centuries of success, what they would have said. And he's right. There is no instance in

00:22:34.780 which the founding fathers could have imagined a big central government, both collecting people's

00:22:39.440 phone records and then rifling through them. Someone has to remind those members of Congress who are

00:22:44.860 apologists that they work in the country, that George Washington and Tom Jefferson and John Adams

00:22:49.640 and others founded, because right now they sound more like the defenders of banana republics than they do

00:22:56.940 the founding fathers of this great country. Let me give you some numbers that I think will make that

00:23:01.420 point very powerfully. So in those 278,000 illegal searches of Americans' phone data that were

00:23:08.260 reported to the FISA court earlier this year, there were 23,132 improper batch queries related to the

00:23:15.820 January 6th protesters and rioters. There were only 360 related to drugs and gangs, the people who move

00:23:23.700 fentanyl. So if anyone wants to know the priority of the FBI, and also how often they violate the civil

00:23:29.580 liberties, they don't violate the civil liberties of drug dealers very often, but they did apparently

00:23:33.640 in the case of Capitol riots based on the data that's been disclosed in the FISA court. So

00:23:39.020 everywhere people look at the evidence of a dual system of justice, a failing system of justice is

00:23:44.280 sitting right in front of us. And I just spent the entire weekend with four or five dozen families

00:23:50.580 who lost people to fentanyl poisoning. They can't find anyone in the FBI to help them. They say when law

00:23:57.520 enforcement shows up, they're like, oh, just another drug death. We see 10 of these a day. We don't

00:24:00.980 care. I couldn't find it when the when the people first found the illegal China bio lab, the China 0.93

00:24:08.420 backed bio lab in California. The FBI was called. They didn't show up. The CDC was called. They didn't

00:24:14.880 show up. These are big warning signs that Chris raised. The FBI is focused on things other than the

00:24:20.860 most pressing national security. I can't think of another issue more dangerous than fentanyl or bioweapons

00:24:26.380 labs. And the FBI is 0 for 2 on those. Oh, for 2. And you're right. Those are illuminating numbers.

00:24:33.400 Listen, we are our generation will decide what sort of America future generations will live in.

00:24:38.660 We are at a precipice of an extraordinary change in America. We look more and more like a banana

00:24:43.220 republic. We look more and more like a social socialist or communist country. The decisions we

00:24:48.520 make over these next 24, 48 months, not just the election, but whether you renew Section 702,

00:24:53.720 whether we give accountability to a president whose family ran an influence peddling operation,

00:24:59.680 whether we actually hold accountable Homeland Security Secretary who doesn't enforce the laws

00:25:04.640 on the book, allowing fentanyl and criminal elements to come into this country at record numbers.

00:25:10.580 Those decisions will define the sort of experience future generations of Americans will have.

00:25:16.340 There hasn't been a moment like this in a very long time. Maybe World War II is the last time

00:25:20.200 where we face such an existential opportunity to define or ruin the American experience. The

00:25:27.000 decisions we make in the next 48 months will really define two or three generations experience

00:25:32.360 in America. These leaders aren't acting with that sense of urgency or that sense of purpose. It feels

00:25:37.960 like laissez-faire in Washington, but the issues facing Congress and the political leaders in Washington are

00:25:44.120 anything but laissez-faire. They're existential. And the gap between the sentiments and speed at which

00:25:50.640 Congress and others are working at and the severity of the problems has never been wider in American

00:25:55.340 history. We really are living in consequential times. I hope more and more people in Congress have the

00:26:00.920 sense of urgency. You have, Lou, because I don't sense it when I do all these interviews every day with

00:26:05.560 members of Congress. I hear the same old, same old. And these times are not the same old times.

00:26:10.840 There is an extraordinary moment where the American experience is about to be disrupted or changed

00:26:15.800 forever. I hope the people that are in Washington listen to your urgency and not the alligator shoot

00:26:22.040 lobbyists who are trying to tell everybody everything's normal. Well said. And thank you for that. I want to

00:26:27.640 also just close here today with a telephone number. I'm going to repeat a couple of times.

00:26:32.480 This is the Capitol switchboard 202-224-3121. That's 202-224-3121. We urge you to call your

00:26:48.580 representative, your senator, and let them know that you, how you feel about their reauthorization

00:26:55.100 of the foundation for what they have done to this country over the course of the past decade in

00:27:00.940 particular. John, as always, great to talk with you. We thank you for all you do, and we thank you

00:27:06.620 for just the news and for being with us here today. Thanks, Lou. Good to be with you. Thanks,

00:27:11.660 everybody, for being with us here today. Our guest here tomorrow on The Great America Show is national

00:27:16.020 security and geopolitical analyst, author, and attorney Gordon Chang. Please join us each and every day for

00:27:22.720 The Great America Show. Thanks, everybody. God bless you, and may God bless America.
