Hello, everybody. I'm Lou Dobbs, and this is The Great America Show. Welcome. Great to have you
00:00:08.060
with us. The Biden corruption machine is hard at work. Former Biden family associate Devin Archer
00:00:14.460
on Capitol Hill yesterday testifying behind closed doors about what he witnessed when working with
00:00:21.120
the first son, Hunter Biden, on the board of the Ukrainian energy company, Burisma. It didn't take
00:00:27.340
long for Biden's gang of thugs that run the DOJ to intervene and try to intimidate Archer from saying
00:00:34.700
anything against the Biden family, including what involvement President Biden played in his son's
00:00:40.740
business dealings. Coincidentally, the hours before Archer was set to head to the meeting,
00:00:46.500
Biden's DOJ asked the Southern District of New York to set a date for Archer to report to prison
00:00:52.500
to keep him from talking to Congress. Archer was granted bail pending an appeal after he was
00:00:58.320
convicted in April of 2020 for his role in defrauding a Native American tribe. The Justice
00:01:04.580
Department wrote the following to the New York Federal Court. In light of the foregoing, the
00:01:10.600
government respectfully requests that the defendant be ordered to surrender at a date and time determined
00:01:16.240
by the court to a facility designated by the Bureau of Prisons to commence his term of imprisonment.
00:01:22.500
Archer's attorney says he believes it's premature to set a report date in light of his anticipated
00:01:28.540
continuing appeals and newly discovered sentencing error that the government has now conceded.
00:01:35.380
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer not too pleased with the Department of Justice,
00:01:40.520
and the chairman had this to say about the DOJ's attempted intimidation tactic of Archer.
00:01:47.240
The letter from the Department of Justice is trying to nudge the judge to go ahead and
00:01:52.080
sentence Devin Archer for something unrelated to what we're going to be talking to him about tomorrow.
00:01:59.960
It's odd that it was issued on a Saturday, and it's odd that it's right before he's scheduled to come
00:02:05.580
in to have an opportunity to speak in front of the House Oversight Committee and tell the American
00:02:10.280
people the truth about what really went on with Burisma. So, you know, I don't know if this is a
00:02:16.260
coincidence, Maria, or if this is another example of the weaponization of the Department of Justice,
00:02:20.800
but I can tell you this, the lengths to which the Biden legal team has gone to try to intimidate our
00:02:26.840
witnesses to coordinate with the Department of Justice and to certainly coordinate with the
00:02:30.980
Democrats on the House Oversight Committee to encourage people not to cooperate with our
00:02:36.200
investigation to encourage banks not to turn over bank records, to encourage Treasury not to let us have
00:02:42.520
access to those suspicious activity reports. It's very troubling, and I believe that, you know, this is
00:02:47.780
another violation of the law. This is obstruction of justice. But nevertheless, we're going to continue to
00:02:53.700
move forward and try to present the American people with the facts and the truth about this president
00:02:59.680
It's more than clear now that Chairman Comer will not be controlled or intimidated by any of these
00:03:05.860
Biden-Obama regime thugs. Comer has already demonstrated he means business, and he and his
00:03:12.520
committee are unrelenting. Marxist Dem and Fulton County District Attorney Fannie Willis telling a local
00:03:19.360
Georgia newspaper her case against President Trump is ready to go, as she put it, saying, quote,
00:03:24.800
the work is accomplished. We've been working for two and a half years. We're ready to go.
00:03:30.000
Well, I believe George Soros should be thrilled to hear that. Willis has previously said charges would
00:03:35.700
come in August, so we can expect any day now those charges. The charges won't be unlike any of the others
00:03:41.960
filed by the Marxist Dem activists. One part nonsense, two parts asinine. Marxist Dem Special Counsel
00:03:49.480
Jack Smith, the men often referred to as Garland's pet junkyard dog, is reportedly looking to charge
00:03:56.700
the former president once again for Trump's role in the January 6th demonstrations on Capitol Hill.
00:04:03.120
Again, more nonsense and equally as asinine. Americans can't keep putting up with these gangsters in the
00:04:10.720
DOJ and FBI. Cleaning up this mess of corruption, the abuse of power and weaponization of our government
00:04:18.040
against America and Americans is now our highest critical priority and why President Trump has to
00:04:25.200
be back in the White House in January of 2025. I want to bring in our guests now to take all of this
00:04:31.660
up and much more. Joining us, Will Sharp, running for attorney general of the great state of Missouri.
00:04:37.820
He says the DOJ case against Trump is seriously flawed and the special counsel's political motivation
00:04:44.180
and disregard for the truth means the whole case against Trump could be dismissed. Will Sharp,
00:04:50.340
it's great to have you back with us on The Great America Show. I'm wishing you a lot of luck in your
00:04:55.080
race for the attorney general's office. How's the campaign going? So far it's going great,
00:05:00.720
Lou. You know, everywhere we go around the state, conservatives are fired up. They're angry about
00:05:06.600
what's going on in their communities and really all over the country. And that's what that's what
00:05:12.280
we're all about is offering a conservative alternative. But people are angry. People are
00:05:17.760
worried. I feel like this is this election cycle all over the country is going to be a crucial one
00:05:23.280
for the country and for our future. So we're excited. And, you know, we're hearing that from just
00:05:29.840
about everybody from all over the country. The enough is enough. We've heard a lot of and fed up
00:05:36.840
is another one. The American people are seeing now because this the Biden regime has just been raw
00:05:44.020
and in your face with their corruption. And it just continues, whether it's a Hunter Biden
00:05:49.560
sweetheart deal, whatever it may be, whatever the issue may be. We're looking at a country right now
00:05:57.660
in deep pain. And it is on the verge of destabilization, I truly believe, because the
00:06:04.280
corruption of our federal government is almost complete. Your thoughts? Yeah, I couldn't agree
00:06:10.200
with you more. And one of the most disappointing things has been the failure of a lot of Republicans,
00:06:16.320
a lot of people with ours next to their name, to wake up and see what trying times we're really in
00:06:22.520
as a country. When you look at the weaponization of law enforcement, when you look at, as you said,
00:06:28.280
the path that not just Hunter Biden, but the entire Biden family seem to be getting now,
00:06:34.220
it's eye-opening, it's worrying, and we all have a lot of work to do.
00:06:39.800
A lot of work. And I'm not one of those who thinks it's going to be easy. I'll tell you that.
00:06:45.720
You know, I've talked to a number of people, and God bless them, one and all, who think that the FBI,
00:06:51.080
and I'll include Senator Marsha Blackburn talking the other day,
00:06:54.860
that she thinks that the FBI can be fixed, can be rehabilitated. But personally, well,
00:07:01.180
I don't see a way forward with this corrupt organization. It is just the Department of
00:07:07.680
Justice and the FBI, to me, are beyond redemption. Your thoughts?
00:07:13.420
Yeah, I think you have to go back to the Durham report and Crossfire Hurricane,
00:07:20.220
and the weaponization of law enforcement and the intelligence agencies against the Trump campaign
00:07:25.920
in 2016. I mean, that alone was just a mortal sin. And the fact that heads didn't roll,
00:07:33.800
the fact that no one's been held accountable for the fact that they unlawfully wiretapped a
00:07:39.460
presidential campaign is just crazy to me. I hope Senator Blackburn's right. She's a good
00:07:46.240
conservative, someone I have a lot of respect for. But one way or the other, we need to take back the
00:07:51.440
White House, and we need to make sure that these real problems get fixed and don't happen again.
00:07:57.800
Republicans need to understand, as you have put it, we've got to take back the White House,
00:08:03.220
and we have got to take back the Senate. This has to be a Republican government
00:08:07.400
in order to save the Republic. I truly believe that, Will.
00:08:12.600
Yeah, I couldn't agree more. I mean, we say at every election cycle, you know,
00:08:16.640
this election is the most important election. This election, I think, may actually be the most
00:08:21.440
important election of our lifetime, because I don't know what kind of a country we're going to
00:08:25.540
have if we have four more years of Joe Biden. And look at the way they've weaponized law enforcement
00:08:31.540
against President Trump, his principal political opponent. I mean, we're truly in Banana Republic
00:08:36.540
territory here, and it's not going to get better unless we take action. It's not going to stay the
00:08:42.660
sane. It's going to keep getting worse. And that's what we as conservatives need to wake up to,
00:08:51.260
Without question. And John Durham appearing before the House Judiciary Committee. You know,
00:08:57.500
it was one of the most disappointing appearances I've seen. His report was, to me, a joke. I thought
00:09:02.900
that there might be some way in which he might be able to counterbalance the shortcomings of that
00:09:08.920
report. But as he sat there in that chair, looking at that committee, and without any remorse whatsoever,
00:09:17.100
or any sense of guilt or shame, seemed to dismiss the idea that he should have been investigating a
00:09:24.980
host of perpetrators through Crossfire Hurricane, the Russia collusion hoax, whatever you want to call it,
00:09:31.620
that extends not only from 2016 to 2020 and to 2022 as well. Were you disappointed?
00:09:42.180
Yeah, you know, I'm really curious about what's in the classified portion of his report. You know,
00:09:47.580
there's a classified appendix that hasn't been made public yet. It needs to be made public, I think,
00:09:53.360
because all of us need to understand exactly what happened. Aspects of his report were very
00:09:59.620
interesting to me. The fact that there was this Clinton plan intelligence, the fact that our
00:10:04.340
intelligence agencies and the FBI knew that the Russia collusion story had started with the
00:10:10.900
Clinton campaign, that they were the ones who had placed it, who were promoting it, who were pushing
00:10:15.020
it. And yet they were still willing to take hook, line and sinker these crazy allegations about the
00:10:22.060
Trump campaign and use that to justify this just insane investigation. I mean, it's the
00:10:29.540
stuff that Durham put out should be worrying enough. And I agree with you. I think there's
00:10:34.100
much more under the table there. There's much more that hasn't come to light yet. And we need to find
00:10:41.220
out more. We need to know what actually happened. And people need to be punished.
00:10:45.780
Without question. And I want to say again here on The Great America Show, this country,
00:10:52.180
we are too far along as this great republic, this great democracy of ours, to put up with
00:11:00.900
those who would deny the public's right to know. The public has to know. Citizens cannot be treated
00:11:07.860
as they have been throughout the course of the last decade or so. With exception within the Trump
00:11:15.140
administration, the federal government has gone dark. The deep state is absolutely in control,
00:11:24.180
in alliance with the Marxist Dems, who control what used to be the Democrat Party.
00:11:29.140
It is a deeply, deeply disturbing moment in our history. And the American people know it's wrong.
00:11:35.860
They know, but they're going about their workaday lives, their lives in which they've got family
00:11:41.540
and responsibilities. And they expect their national media, they expect their representatives
00:11:47.700
and senators to represent them in Washington. And they're being failed almost every day.
00:11:55.140
Yeah, you know, it's interesting. I think what really woke a lot of people up to the dangers that
00:12:00.740
we face as a country was COVID and not just the COVID era lockdowns and them shutting down businesses
00:12:07.220
and shutting down churches and shutting down synagogues and all of that. But the fact that
00:12:12.260
parents for the first time had a good view of what was being taught in schools, the proliferation of
00:12:19.540
critical race theory, which is basically, as you know, race, Marxism, radical gender ideology. And it's not
00:12:25.860
just happening in New York and San Francisco. I mean, all over the state of Missouri,
00:12:30.420
even in rural communities, parents have brought to light just the craziest, craziest issues imaginable,
00:12:39.140
things being taught to their kids that should never have a place in any American school,
00:12:44.340
in American culture in general. So it's it's we're living in scary times. But I have hope that
00:12:49.860
Americans are waking up and understand what's at stake here.
00:12:53.060
I believe that the American people are awakening. And well, the truth is, I'm hoping
00:13:00.420
that we are seeing a profound awakening on the part of the Republicans who sit in Senate seats and in the
00:13:06.900
House of Representatives, because there are such a large number of rhinos that the Republican Party
00:13:15.860
has been hijacked by a minority that is aligned with the Republican establishment, with the Democratic
00:13:24.820
establishment and the Marxist left. And it's inexcusable. 20 representatives refusing to go along with a
00:13:34.580
censure of Adam Schiff, who lied to the American people, the Congress, and of all things about the
00:13:40.980
president of the United States. And they didn't think it was the appropriate moment to censure him.
00:13:49.940
And it's it's just a censure. If they're not willing to put their names on record saying that Adam Schiff did
00:13:57.300
something wrong, where are they going to be on the crucial votes that are going to face us in the in the
00:14:03.540
years ahead? What kind of leadership are we getting out of our elected so-called leaders when they're not
00:14:10.020
even willing to to put their names on the line for something like that? I mean, to me, that was a
00:14:15.460
it's it's a call it a shibboleth, call it whatever you want. But it's it's a moment where Republicans
00:14:22.020
had the opportunity to stand up for what's right. And too many of them weren't willing to do that.
00:14:27.540
And we see it all over the place. We call them go along to get along Republicans, Republicans who are just
00:14:32.340
kind of happy picking up the scraps from the Democrats and, you know, having fancy offices and
00:14:38.180
going to fancy parties. That's not what we need anymore. We need conservative fighters and we need
00:14:43.700
them in elected offices, you know, from obviously from the White House to the U.S. Senate, but all the
00:14:48.900
way down to local school boards, county council seats. We need people who are going to stand up and
00:14:54.580
fight. And there's no point in electing folks if they're not willing to do that.
00:14:58.260
We're talking with former federal prosecutor, candidate for attorney general of the great state
00:15:03.780
of Missouri, Will Scharf, one of those who is standing up and who is going to make a difference,
00:15:18.260
We're back now talking with Will Scharf. And Will, as we broke there for a commercial break,
00:15:24.100
you were saying that there has to be accountability and responsibility. The Republicans have an
00:15:30.100
opportunity here to define themselves and that be the party of transparency. We were talking,
00:15:35.700
you were talking in point of fact about these classified section of the John Durham special
00:15:40.660
counsel report. I will say this, that I think every, every line of that report should be made public.
00:15:47.700
It should be in front of the American people. And if our government is going to, in any way,
00:15:53.940
err, they need to err on the side of the public's right to know. Because too much is being redacted.
00:16:00.420
Too much is being withheld. Too much is being sealed. And too much is being kept from the American
00:16:06.740
people at a moment which we need every, every truth that we can discover. What do you think?
00:16:12.900
Yeah, no, I couldn't agree more. But it's, it's more that we're, we're past the point where
00:16:18.580
transparency is an ending of itself. Transparency is important. We need to know what happened with
00:16:25.380
the investigation into President Trump. Frankly, we need much more transparency
00:16:29.860
into this new case that was brought against him by the special counsel in Florida. But to me,
00:16:35.540
transparency is a means to an end. We need to know what's going on because the American people need
00:16:41.140
to understand what's at stake. And the American people need to understand why now more than ever,
00:16:47.860
it's important that we all get together and stand up and fight against what's happening to our country.
00:16:53.460
I agree with you. Whether it is a means or whether it is an end, it honors the people's right to know
00:17:01.220
in this country. They can't make intelligent decisions politically. They cannot make critical
00:17:07.540
judgments about the governance. You know, there, there was a time in this country
00:17:14.420
that we were, our consent was required. We are being rolled over by this Biden regime as if there
00:17:20.500
were no constitution and that we didn't have over 200 years as a constitutional republic to guide us
00:17:28.740
forward. It's outrageous, whether it's on a wide open border and no one voted on that that I know of,
00:17:34.900
whether it's sending more than $100 billion to Ukraine without any accountability. We don't
00:17:40.980
know what that money is going for. And the Biden regime continues to find another $6 billion here,
00:17:46.580
$3 billion there to throw at what should be a defense of Ukraine funded by the European nations who
00:17:55.620
are proximate and who, in fact, have their own security at risk. I understand none of it, frankly.
00:18:03.460
Yeah, look, since Biden came into office, the latest numbers I saw that we've had about 6 million
00:18:11.380
illegal immigrants come into the country. Well, the state of Missouri is only about 6.3 million
00:18:17.060
people. They've created a new midsize state of illegal immigrants in this country in just a few short
00:18:24.420
years. That's what's at stake here. That's why taking back the White House is going to be so important.
00:18:31.060
And that's why it's so important that we overturn this current regime that's running the federal
00:18:37.620
government. As you said, nobody voted to open the border. Congress didn't pass a bill saying there
00:18:43.780
shall be an open border. This is just something that Biden has gone out and done. And it's that sort
00:18:49.860
of lawlessness that's at the heart of the problems with the rule of law, that's at the heart of the
00:18:54.900
the problems with our constitutional democracy that we need to confront as a movement and just as
00:19:00.340
Americans. I want to turn to an essay that you wrote for The Federalist, a fascinating article,
00:19:08.980
Six Reasons the Department of Justice's Get Trump Documents case is seriously flawed. Give us,
00:19:16.820
if you will, those reasons. Let's talk through that a bit. I've said on this broadcast clearly as I can
00:19:26.100
that there is nothing about the current leg of political persecution of Donald Trump that is
00:19:32.420
justified or lawful. You're the prosecutor. You're the attorney. You tell us, if you will, from your
00:19:41.300
perspective as an officer of the court and lawyer, what the reasons are that you see as deficient in
00:19:50.340
the case brought by the Department of Justice. Sure. So Jack Smith, who's the special counsel,
00:19:56.420
and we should talk some more about him because he's an interesting guy. And the fact that he was
00:20:01.220
chosen to lead this investigation is very interesting. But Jack Smith stood up in front of the American
00:20:06.980
people and basically said that this is an open and shut case, that they found these boxes at Mar-a-Lago
00:20:13.220
and therefore President Trump has to go to prison. Now, I'm a former prosecutor. What I did is I looked
00:20:19.620
at the indictment they filed and I read the law and I came to a very different conclusion. When you
00:20:26.020
actually look at the law, they've charged President Trump under a section of the Espionage Act. Your viewers
00:20:31.140
can all or your listeners can all look it up. It's 18 United States Code section 793E. And under
00:20:37.780
section 793E, they need to prove not just that there were some sensitive documents at Mar-a-Lago,
00:20:45.780
but they need to prove that President Trump had in his possession what's called national defense
00:20:51.460
information, information that could hurt the United States or help a foreign power. They need to show that
00:20:56.900
he knew he had that information. They need to show that he knew that he wasn't authorized to have
00:21:02.660
that information. They need to show that he knew he was supposed to give it to a federal official or a
00:21:09.940
government official. And they need to show that he willfully failed to turn over that information that
00:21:15.780
he knew that he had to that government official. And based on what they've put in the indictment,
00:21:21.700
I don't think they can prove that. There's an act called the Presidential Records Act, which dictates
00:21:28.020
what happens when a presidential administration ends. And it gives the president broad discretion
00:21:32.980
to designate some records as personal records. Those would be things like diaries, journals,
00:21:38.900
personal memorabilia, items of a primarily personal nature. And then the president's also supposed to
00:21:44.740
designate his presidential records. Those are more official papers, things memorializing official
00:21:50.500
decisions and that sort of thing. Now, courts have consistently held that the president has
00:21:55.540
broad discretion in how he designates personal versus presidential records. I don't think that
00:22:02.100
the special counsel can prove that President Trump knew he had anything he wasn't supposed to have.
00:22:07.620
I'm not even sure if they can prove that he had anything he wasn't supposed to have.
00:22:11.460
And they definitely can't prove, in my view, that he willfully failed to turn over any national defense
00:22:18.020
information to any government official that he knew had a right to repeat it. So this is sort of
00:22:22.820
getting into the legal thicket, the legal complexities of all of this. But ultimately,
00:22:28.820
they are trying to put President Trump in prison on the back of an indictment that's based on such a
00:22:35.780
misreading of the law that the whole thing just reeks of politics to me. I can go into some more detail
00:22:42.660
about Jack Smith, the special counsel. I mean, this is this is a guy. The case that he's probably
00:22:49.380
most famous for was bringing a prosecution against former Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell,
00:22:55.380
a Republican governor of Virginia, a popular governor. They charged him with federal bribery
00:23:01.060
and actually got a conviction on those charges. That conviction went up to the Supreme Court and the
00:23:06.260
Supreme Court unanimously threw those convictions out, saying that Smith had used an overzealous,
00:23:15.460
overly broad definition of the federal bribery statute to secure that conviction, that it was inappropriate.
00:23:22.820
They overturned the conviction and the Department of Justice just threw the whole case out. They totally
00:23:28.900
repudiated Jack Smith and the way he went about prosecuting this case. So the question needs to be
00:23:35.860
asked, if that's this guy's most famous previous case, why of all of the thousands of lawyers in the
00:23:42.420
federal government did Merrick Garland pick him to lead this investigation? And the only answer I can
00:23:49.140
think of is politics, that they knew that he was a pit bull. They knew that he would do exactly what
00:23:54.740
he's gone out and done. And that this whole thing is a it's a political operation, not a legal operation.
00:24:01.220
And I was taught as a prosecutor that politics are never supposed to come into play when it
00:24:06.260
comes to charging decisions, when it comes to investigative acts, when it comes to law enforcement.
00:24:12.180
And that's what we're seeing here is the politicization of law enforcement
00:24:16.260
under the Biden administration and under Merrick Garland.
00:24:19.700
And Will Sharp and I are going to be talking about the political persecution of Donald Trump,
00:24:24.260
which has now entered its eighth year, if you can believe that. Stay with us. We're coming right back
00:24:37.860
We're back now. We're talking with Will Sharp running for the office of Attorney General,
00:24:42.660
the great state of Missouri. Well, I want to turn to the Trump appointed judge who's had considerable
00:24:48.900
Democratic support to oversee the Hunter Biden plea deal. So, you know, I think the key thing is to note
00:24:56.500
what Hunter Biden has been charged with and what he hasn't been charged with. I think that under the
00:25:02.660
guise of getting him to plead guilty to relatively minor tax offenses and entering pretrial diversion on
00:25:08.660
some gun he purchased. I think that the Department of Justice is trying to sweep under the rug
00:25:13.780
what might be the single greatest political scandal in American history. We heard a couple of weeks
00:25:20.340
ago about this called the 1023, a confidential informant report from Ukraine that the FBI
00:25:27.300
considered to be credible that said that Hunter and President Biden had had essentially colluded and
00:25:33.860
conspired together to change American foreign policy and to get a Ukrainian prosecutor who was
00:25:39.860
prosecuting Burisma, Hunter's company, fired. And they did that in return for millions of dollars
00:25:46.420
in payments directly to them. Now, if that's true, that's one of the greatest crimes committed
00:25:52.260
in American history. This would be the greatest political scandal in American history. And I think
00:25:58.100
that what they're trying to do here is get Hunter to plead to, you know, misdemeanors to nothing
00:26:04.180
and then tell everybody, oh, well, Hunter's already been investigated and prosecuted.
00:26:08.180
There's nothing more to see here when it's the opposite. It's the crimes that haven't yet been
00:26:13.140
indicted, that haven't yet been fully aired publicly, that need to be the focus of this
00:26:18.420
investigation into the Biden family. And the fact, you know, we were talking before about transparency,
00:26:25.300
the fact that they haven't made that 1023 public, the fact that the American people haven't been given
00:26:31.540
full information about just what the Bidens were up to in Ukraine, I think is just damning. And it
00:26:38.260
speaks again to this politicization of law enforcement. That's just it's poison for any
00:26:44.260
democracy, for any country governed by the rule of law.
00:26:47.060
You mentioned those four years of the Russia collusion hoax, crossfire hurricane. It straightforwardly
00:26:56.740
was an effort by the FBI, the Department of Justice, the White House, it appears, that would be the
00:27:04.020
Obama White House, because it was an implicit sanction of what they were doing in the intelligence
00:27:11.060
community, as well, working with the Democratic National Committee, the Clinton campaign,
00:27:17.700
with the complicity of the national left wing media. It goes on and on. It was an effort to overthrow
00:27:24.580
the President of the United States, once they couldn't stop his candidacy. And that, to me,
00:27:30.020
is the greatest political scandal in this country's history. And now, actually, some people are
00:27:36.100
acknowledging it. The Washington Post, the New York Times, and a handful of others have acknowledged at
00:27:45.300
least part of that, their responsibility in that, and the culpability of the Marxist Dems and the
00:27:54.020
government itself. And by the way, four consecutive directors of the FBI were also as guilty as they
00:28:02.740
could be of lying to the American people. Your thoughts on what it takes, because we're in eight
00:28:10.020
years of political persecution. The President hasn't been found guilty of any wrongdoing at any stage of
00:28:17.460
that eight years. Yeah, Lou, let me put it really simply. I used to prosecute drug gangs in North St.
00:28:25.220
Louis, violent drug gangs in North St. Louis. If I did to them to get a warrant against any of these
00:28:32.500
gangs, what the Crossfire Hurricane team did to President Trump and the Trump campaign,
00:28:38.900
I would have lost my job, lost my law license, and probably been criminally prosecuted.
00:28:44.980
That what they did is they took information that they knew to be inaccurate, that they knew likely
00:28:50.820
had political motives, had likely been ceded by the Clinton campaign. And they used that information
00:28:57.300
to get a warrant to wiretap President Trump's campaign. And then even after they found out
00:29:02.820
pretty conclusively that that information was wrong, they submitted it again and again and again
00:29:09.060
in secret proceedings before the FISA court to keep that wiretap up in the hopes of finding something,
00:29:15.220
anything that they could use against President Trump. Now again, if I did that, if I used sources that
00:29:21.620
I knew to be disqualified to get warrants against violent drug dealers in North St.
00:29:27.140
Louis, I would have lost my job, lost my law license, and probably been criminally prosecuted.
00:29:33.700
Who's been held accountable for this? I mean, they got one, you know, nothing plea deal,
00:29:39.060
and they tried one or two cases. But the same folks who did this, a lot of the same people are still
00:29:46.260
at the FBI, they're still at the Department of Justice, and they're still up to their old tricks.
00:29:51.860
We need to demand accountability, and we were talking before about the FBI and the need to
00:29:56.580
clean house there. I mean, I pray to God we take back the White House next year. And when we do,
00:30:04.020
heads need to roll. This can't be allowed to ever happen again, and it can't be allowed to continue.
00:30:11.060
And as we were discussing, John Durham asked straightforwardly why he didn't even interrogate
00:30:22.660
or subpoena any of the principal culprits behind Crossfire Hurricane. He didn't talk to them.
00:30:30.580
And do you know why? I'm sure you do. But do we know why? And the answer is because they wouldn't
00:30:36.900
cooperate with him. I mean, I have never heard such idiocy in my life from a special counsel.
00:30:44.740
Well, wait a minute. There was Robert Mueller, wasn't there? It's just incredible what we are
00:30:51.780
witnessing here. I don't know how John Durham could actually show his face before the United States
00:31:00.340
Yeah. I mean, again, I want to know what's in that classified annex to his report, because I'm
00:31:06.180
sure it's damning. And I'm sure that if it weren't damning, it would have been declassified and leaked
00:31:10.820
by now. But I want to know what happened behind closed doors in his investigation. And I want to
00:31:17.940
know who was talking to whom and who else was involved here. That's what we all need to be calling
00:31:23.860
for, a release of the whistleblower information from Ukraine about the criminal activities that
00:31:30.180
the Biden family was engaged in there, and a release of that classified annex to the Durham report. And
00:31:36.580
then maybe then we'll be getting closer to the full truth of what law enforcement is up to when it comes
00:31:43.860
to these blatantly political decisions and political activities they've been engaged in, as you said,
00:31:48.740
for going on eight years now. Going on eight years at the tail end of the last year of the Obama
00:31:57.700
administration. The conversations began in the White House and point of fact with the intelligence
00:32:05.940
agencies, the chiefs of those agencies, the Department of Justice and the FBI director,
00:32:11.860
president in those three meetings in 2016. And now President Obama is stepping forward,
00:32:20.820
talking about the creaky institutions, democratic institutions of our great nation. He warns that
00:32:27.700
they are creaky, I guess, because that means we should be very careful not to demand too much of those
00:32:33.220
institutions. But then saying Trump's indictment is proof that the rule of law still exists in the United
00:32:41.220
States. Is there any doubt in anyone's mind who is who has a third term as president, who is a member
00:32:51.300
of the cabal directing this impaired puppet president, Joe Biden? And remember, Obama is the guy who said
00:33:00.500
that he didn't need Congress. He didn't need to go through our constitutional system of checks and balances
00:33:07.460
to enact his agenda because he had, and I quote, a phone and a pen. This is a guy talking about the decline of
00:33:14.900
American democratic institutions, the decline of our Constitution. I mean, he's at the heart of so much of what we've
00:33:22.260
seen of unconstitutional actions on the part of the federal government, vast expansion of executive authority in a way
00:33:30.100
that's completely unchecked and unanticipated on, you know, totally extra constitutional.
00:33:37.620
You know, you think about the border issues that we're facing today. This all started under Obama. I mean, he bears just a huge
00:33:44.260
amount of culpability for the violence that that he did to the Constitution and that the Biden folks are continuing to do to the Constitution.
00:33:52.260
We're talking with Will Scharf. And Will, we've come to the end of what has been a fascinating conversation with you. We appreciate your time.
00:34:00.820
We always give our guests the last word. Your concluding thoughts as we wrap up here today.
00:34:06.980
You know, Lou, the only thing I'd say is that to everybody sitting on the sidelines, to everybody out there who thinks that they can just go about their lives
00:34:16.100
and that the sorts of problems we're talking about, we'll leave them alone, we'll pass them by.
00:34:23.300
Those times have passed. What we need today is conservative fighters. What we need today is conservatives who are willing to stand up for what we believe in.
00:34:32.100
Because if we don't stand up now, we're not going to have another opportunity to stand up.
00:34:37.140
So I appreciate you having me on. Great to talk to you. Let me know how I can be helpful.
00:34:42.340
I know that, you know, you, a lot of people listen to you. You have a very powerful platform.
00:34:47.620
But just now more than ever, conservatives need to be willing to stand up and be counted.
00:34:52.860
Absolutely. Will Scharf, we wish you the very best of luck in your campaign to be the next attorney general of the great state of Missouri.
00:35:00.780
We know you'll get it done. God bless and Godspeed.
00:35:06.680
Thanks, everybody, for being with us. Our guest here tomorrow will be Congressman Bob Good of the Freedom Caucus.
00:35:12.920
We take up the never-ending corruption of the Department of Justice, the Biden-IRS whistleblowers, and much more.
