The Great America Show - WHERE’S BARACK？

00:00:00.000 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

00:02:59.040 and his family.

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 0.99

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. 1.00

00:04:03.120 Again, more nonsense and equally as asinine. Americans can't keep putting up with these gangsters in the 1.00

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,

00:08:48.500 and that needs to be our motivation here.

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 1.00

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.

00:13:47.460 My Lord, what in the world are they thinking?

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,

00:15:09.700 I'm sure. Stay with us. We'll be right back.

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 1.00

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

00:24:30.580 after these messages.

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. 0.99

00:30:44.740 Well, wait a minute. There was Robert Mueller, wasn't there? It's just incredible what we are 1.00

00:30:51.780 witnessing here. I don't know how John Durham could actually show his face before the United States

00:30:59.940 Congress.

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 0.50

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.

00:35:04.820 Thank you, Lou. Appreciate it.

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.

00:35:19.960 That's tomorrow right here on The Great America Show.
