Transcript
00:00:00.000
Hello, everybody. I'm Lou Dobbs, and thanks for joining us for this episode of The Great America Show.
00:00:06.280
And as the Russians continue to bombard and blast the Ukrainians seemingly through 24 hours of each and every day,
00:00:14.020
the Ukrainians are defending their country with heroic strength and defying the much larger, more powerful Russian invaders.
00:00:21.900
First Lady Jill Biden made a surprise visit to Western Ukraine.
00:00:25.560
There she met with the country's First Lady, Olena Zelensky.
00:00:30.000
Mrs. Biden spent about two hours in Ukraine, telling Mrs. Zelensky that she wanted to be there for Mother's Day to show solidarity with the people of Ukraine.
00:00:39.860
And the war goes on, this senseless war that Vladimir Putin obviously thought would never devolve to the quagmire it's become for his military.
00:00:50.120
Putin has no obvious exit from this titanic military debacle, and he will soon be desperate to limit the massive global damage
00:00:59.880
to his standing, his reputation, and his job as leader of Russia itself.
00:01:07.100
And meanwhile, the Biden administration hasn't yet sent the First Lady to our southern border with Mexico,
0.53
00:01:13.000
where a massive invasion has been underway since President Biden took office almost 16 months ago.
00:01:19.620
The Biden presidency has been a disaster, it seems, from the moment Joe Biden was sworn in,
00:01:25.880
and he's building a strong early case to be considered the worst president in U.S. history.
00:01:31.580
Our guest today has some strong views on this administration and its many failings.
00:01:38.880
He's Director of Investigations and Research at Judicial Watch.
00:01:43.180
Chris is also a member of the Judicial Watch Board of Directors and a former U.S. Army intelligence officer.
00:01:55.080
There is one headline after another, it seems, about what the Democrats are doing,
00:02:01.920
what their big donors are doing, everybody talking big money for the midterm elections.
00:02:08.000
And I hear nothing but crickets coming from the right, the conservatives, the GOP.
00:02:13.940
Your thoughts on the situation here with everything in the light of 2020?
00:02:21.460
Well, the left is predictably reliable, and, you know, they always double down,
00:02:29.900
And by every prediction is that they're going to suffer great losses in the midterm.
00:02:34.640
Although you can never count, because, you know, the Republicans love clutching defeat,
00:02:42.100
But it would appear that, you know, their predictable midterm reversal is going to occur.
00:02:52.440
And so you see things like George Soros, everyone's favorite philanthropist.
00:03:01.820
And Clinton staffers running around trying to threaten Elon Musk and Twitter.
00:03:11.460
You see George Soros throwing or his entities, his operations,
00:03:16.180
throwing upwards of $750,000 into the elections in Wisconsin.
00:03:24.020
You know, that's another stunner, how via all these various front groups,
00:03:28.920
including things like, you know, the, I'm trying to think of an NAND,
00:03:33.080
there's an organization called ERIC, and I forget the exact acronym now,
00:03:39.080
but it's an election reporting group, purportedly.
00:03:43.620
Um, money's being thrown at elections, district attorneys are financed,
00:03:49.160
their campaigns are financed by Open Society Foundation,
00:03:56.440
Um, and then on top of all this, you see the introduction of another organization,
00:04:05.360
Um, and their title or their, their tagline on their website says it all.
00:04:10.780
You know, words matter, Lou, you know that better than nine-tenths of the world.
00:04:15.020
Their tagline on their, on the website for Governing for Impact says,
00:04:19.180
quote, building progressive power at the state and federal level.
00:04:26.660
I mean, I, what, what founding document in the United States discusses building power?
00:04:41.320
And, but, but I mean, even philosophically, this tells you where they're coming from,
00:04:47.540
That, that kind of language cannot be found in, in a single founding document,
00:04:53.840
whether it's the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Federalist Papers,
00:04:59.800
No one talks about building power at the state and federal level, but that is Marxist language.
00:05:07.840
That is, you know, Frankfurt School and Marx and Engels.
00:05:14.080
And they, they brazenly advertise it on the front page of their website,
00:05:23.660
And you can see all of their sort of agenda items and their policy papers they're written.
00:05:29.420
And the reason why people should look at that is because those policy papers are being turned into
00:05:38.340
They are essentially the think tank for the Biden administration.
00:05:42.720
And the first time I've, and I think I've been trying to at least stay a pretty current on
00:05:49.880
the sort of dark groups, the groups, you know, staying well below the horizon and out of public
00:05:56.560
view, but this one suddenly bursts upon the scene through the reporting of none other than Fox
00:06:06.280
Uh, and the only place I've seen any reference, uh, to that group, uh, governing for impact.
00:06:13.020
I mean, I'm, I'm, I'm pleasantly surprised because as you and I both know, there were,
00:06:17.600
there was a time, uh, when uttering the name Soros on air at Fox, uh, you know, was a lightning
00:06:26.000
It was a verboten, you know, you could not possibly say, or even hint at that, or there was all sorts
00:06:35.020
It seems like they've done a one 80 and if they have great, because when there's public
00:06:40.800
documents and when there's, you know, uh, uh, websites and, and, and publicly filed records
00:06:48.020
and documents that are available online, why can't you talk about it?
00:06:54.100
And there was a day, as you well know, that was, you know, forbidden, but now they're talking
00:07:00.800
Well, as a matter of fact, uh, what Chris is referring to, uh, is, uh, his exclusion from
00:07:07.300
Fox, uh, as a result of mentioning the name George Soros on my show, uh, at that time.
00:07:19.160
And I have to say it was, uh, uh, uh, unpleasant, not only for Chris and for me, but it was an
00:07:27.800
And I'm glad that they had moved beyond that, uh, at this point, if indeed they have, but
00:07:32.860
the fact that just to contextualize that, the question you had asked me was based upon
00:07:40.060
my return from Guatemala, where I had marched along the road with the caravaners heading
1.00
00:07:50.020
I was fortunate, uh, that a colleague and friend of mine was the intelligence chief of
00:07:58.160
And, uh, I jokingly say that rather than being in a studio in New York or Washington, I went
00:08:05.900
I actually went on the ground with the caravaners, uh, I interviewed the president of Guatemala
00:08:13.080
I brought along a former colleague, Sarah Carter, who was obviously a contributor at
00:08:21.860
Those two ladies are native Spanish linguists.
0.99
00:08:24.640
Uh, I am not, uh, and we spent five days down there.
00:08:28.860
I came back, went into the studio to talk with you.
00:08:32.000
And you would ask me what the Guatemalan president had said about who he thought was behind the
00:08:40.180
And I truthfully reported that the president of Guatemala thought that it was Soros.
00:08:45.440
And he went on from there to describe why and how he thought it was Soros.
00:08:49.260
And that for, for reporting, for reporting on what the president of Guatemala and other
00:08:55.740
senior leaders told me what they thought about the caravans and the connections to Soros.
00:09:00.100
That was a, uh, a forbidden thing that made everybody at the Fox business, you know, jump
00:09:08.360
And I, and as I've expressed to you every moment since then, you know, my deepest regrets
00:09:14.040
that it occurred and, and, and the, uh, and the harm it did you, uh, and, uh, actually
00:09:21.420
I think the, the integrity of the network to do something like that.
00:09:28.240
And now we have a changed circumstance and clearly there were, they're talking about
00:09:34.020
And I have any Pavlich, a contributor from town hall to Fox news talking with John
00:09:43.200
These things shift and, uh, this is a positive one.
00:09:47.040
And I've always sincerely appreciated all of your, uh, help and support through all
00:09:51.780
And likewise, I am pleased to see that, uh, Katie Pavlich and John Roberts have been able
00:09:57.060
to have a discussion about, uh, facts and, and documents and records and things that are
00:10:03.600
publicly available on the internet, uh, about, you know, who's doing what to who and where
00:10:07.820
the money's going and all those sorts of things.
00:10:09.600
Well, as you mentioned, George Soros putting $750,000 into the Wisconsin midterms.
00:10:16.200
And as far as I know, there is no Republican equivalent of George Soros, let alone, uh,
00:10:24.380
other donors that are putting in Mark Zuckerberg, for example, the money that he is throwing around
00:10:30.340
Silicon Valley, uh, wall street, the money that they are pouring into, uh, the rep, the
00:10:41.360
And I don't know of a single dime that's been spent and I'd love to be corrected on this
00:10:46.600
because I'd love to be wrong, but I don't know of a major effort whatsoever anywhere in
00:10:53.100
the Republican party or any campaign to reform the mail-in ballots, to reform the absentee
00:11:02.300
ballots, uh, the change, the election season back from, uh, from election season to election
00:11:10.760
It's, it's preposterous how little we have heard from the Republicans and they're, and
00:11:16.820
they're taking a great deal for granted with all of this talk about wave election.
00:11:21.220
I believe there is the impetus for that, but I also know that a lot of things happened
00:11:27.220
in 2020 that there has been no, uh, there's been no reform, meaningful reform of it at
00:11:35.120
At the national level, uh, the so-called leadership McCarthy and McConnell have essentially accepted
00:11:42.460
and bought into the lie that this was the most secure election in American history, that
00:11:50.480
there were no irregularities, that there were no, uh, attempts at gamesmanship or manipulation.
00:11:56.200
That somehow Zuckerberg pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into Wisconsin, that there
00:12:04.540
There was, there was no outcome, no change of anything.
00:12:08.380
Um, I mean, just at face value, you have to say, if anybody poured any amount like that
00:12:14.400
hundreds of millions of dollars into one state, it would have to have an impact or guess what?
00:12:19.240
A very wealthy businessman wouldn't spend that many hundreds of millions of dollars for nothing.
00:12:26.720
He wants to get an outcome, then that's his investment.
00:12:30.380
So, um, the leadership, McConnell, McCarthy, and others have essentially accepted the big
00:12:38.060
And everyone is, if you raise questions, I mean, and I'm not talking about use of the F word,
00:12:45.720
I, I'm always cautious about that because fraud has an actual real hard legal meaning.
00:12:53.080
And so I, I am always, I, what I want to talk about are election irregularities.
00:13:00.440
I want to talk about, uh, ballots that are counted or not counted ballots that suddenly
00:13:06.560
Those are all, those irregularities all require investigation and documentation in Wisconsin.
00:13:14.540
They've had a legislature chartered an investigation.
00:13:18.280
They had a former, a special counsel investigation.
00:13:24.420
And that he's a former Wisconsin Supreme court justice.
0.99
00:13:31.200
This guy has got decades of experience and he's gone.
0.99
00:13:42.680
You don't see any national leadership from the right, whether it's Republican party guys
00:13:48.080
or frankly, anybody else stepping up and demanding that these things get fixed systematically.
00:13:55.500
Uh, and there's certainly no George Soros or open society foundation or, or, you know,
00:14:01.080
center right equivalent with the same kind of machinery and apparatus and money advocating
00:14:11.400
And, and for there to be nothing, uh, is unconscionable.
00:14:15.720
It just, I wish that we could be talking right now about some of the great successes and
00:14:21.760
we will, the great successes of the, of the Trump endorsements to talk about where the
00:14:29.700
And I hope the Republican party is headed in exactly the same direction as, uh, Donald
00:14:35.740
Trump, because the ignorance of the leaders of the Republican party is palpable.
00:14:42.360
Uh, particularly when you start with Mitch McConnell and you start with Kevin McCarthy,
00:14:46.880
uh, I, I know the president loves Kevin McCarthy.
00:14:51.040
I don't, I think he is one of the, I, I, I truly believe.
00:14:58.060
I mean, I, I respect the president, but I don't get, I mean, there's a lot of evidence
00:15:03.940
But I also understand that when you're going into this election, you don't want to do anything.
00:15:07.860
If you're president Trump or, uh, anyone else, I guess for that matter, you don't want
00:15:12.960
to get involved in a, an, uh, an intramural, um, you want to hold the distraction real close
00:15:20.400
and, and, and take it up when you can indeed win.
00:15:29.400
And that is without money, without reform, without understanding of what happened in 2020.
00:15:35.340
And there've been a couple of, uh, uh, very good documentaries, uh, created, but I, I really
00:15:40.840
liked the rigged documentary, uh, that David Bossy did on, on the election of 2020.
00:15:47.600
And he focuses on, uh, you know, real, uh, anomalies that contributed to, uh, his defeat.
00:15:55.280
And by the way, there are also no accidents in these campaigns.
00:16:00.980
Uh, these are orchestrated, uh, events and we have to understand why and why the Republican
00:16:11.160
They have bought into the democratic establishments.
00:16:15.140
Oh, you, it's already been, uh, the idea of the, uh, the election being rigged, you know,
00:16:24.720
You can see it in all of the corporatist, uh, news outlets.
00:16:28.160
They refer to it, not just as a, as a claim, but a debunked claim when it's absolutely not
00:16:34.320
They haven't been debunked, the FBI didn't investigate a single election, not, and Homeland
00:16:40.660
Security certainly didn't, despite that being their charge.
00:16:44.620
Uh, they simply referred to it as a, just a terrific little election.
00:16:51.900
Everyone watching television saw inexplicable events if they stayed with the election coverage
00:16:59.960
So, uh, so here we are, meanwhile, Arabella, dark money, uh, funding, all sorts of initiatives
00:17:09.380
that will benefit the democratic candidates at the local county and state level, as well
00:17:20.280
And no matter how much we talk about, you know, how the margin of victory, the landslides,
00:17:27.620
the wave elections, you know, we're always coming back to that's the Stalin quote, you
00:17:34.500
know, go ahead and vote as long as I get to decide who counts, you know, and that's where
00:17:40.060
That is where this country is such massive political corruption.
00:17:44.100
We can't trust the FBI, the justice department.
00:17:49.600
Look what they're doing with the border for crying out loud.
00:17:52.760
We have a government that is weaponized politically against the American right, the American middle
00:18:01.140
independence and conservatives and Republicans don't stand a chance right now.
00:18:06.140
Given the array of, uh, donors, organizations, and individuals who've been put into action
00:18:16.880
And the so-called leadership, uh, McCarthy, McConnell, others, they are so timid.
00:18:23.980
They are so terribly terrified of being identified with any of those people, you know, the great
00:18:31.520
unwashed masses out there that the people that are actually the grassroots activists who are
00:18:38.160
fed up and frustrated and demanding accountability, they wish to distance themselves so far from
00:18:43.680
them, from people that are willing to go and, uh, you know, look, even at the, at the local
00:18:50.120
level, people that are willing to go in and file their own state open records law requests
00:18:55.160
to gain access to ballots or to voter rolls or to double check reporting and accounting.
00:19:02.800
Uh, you know, they are just terrified of even making statements that would be supportive of
00:19:11.060
people conducting audits and reviews for any kind of reform for, uh, Hey, like you said,
00:19:18.000
instead of having election season, why don't we stick to what the constitution says, which
00:19:22.240
is an election day period and the whole world knows when it is.
00:19:28.000
If you're not available or you're traveling or you're deployed overseas or whatever it
00:19:32.180
is, you have all kinds of opportunities to file your ballot in a timely manner.
00:19:36.200
So that it arrives on election day and not turn it into how many votes do we need to win?
00:19:43.600
And we'll, you know, a couple of vans will back up to the warehouse and we'll get enough
00:19:47.820
votes because that's what we're currently experiencing.
00:19:50.580
Well, I don't want to draw an equation between political engagement and testosterone levels,
00:19:57.640
but you know, when you look at the history and the reporting that's being done on the
00:20:02.140
decline in testosterone in the United States, and by the way, much of the world, uh, it's
00:20:10.140
No one is doing research on it, but the effect, the effect here is we have a, we have a Republican
00:20:17.960
party, uh, you know, I think they ought to sort of just tech, uh, check the testosterone
1.00
00:20:23.020
levels between the Democrats and the Republicans, because there's something going on here that
00:20:32.960
Why are the Republicans so passive when they're being slapped in the teeth?
00:20:37.720
They've just watched a, an election, uh, tear down their candidate, Donald Trump, uh, in
00:20:45.400
full view of television cameras, attorneys, and everything else.
00:20:52.260
I'm kidding, of course, about the testosterone stuff, but I mean, it really does make you
00:20:56.880
think what, why don't the Republicans even want to understand what happened?
00:21:02.260
You know, in the 2012, Chris, the Republicans famously did that, uh, post-action report,
00:21:10.580
uh, the post-mortem called autopsy appropriately enough for why they, they were defeated.
00:21:17.900
We haven't had a similar thing happen after the most historic defeat for the Republican
00:21:27.180
And here's the, here's the real, this is, will inflame and infuriate you more.
00:21:33.760
We're not actually asking anybody to do anything, right?
00:21:43.660
Will you document, you know, after the fact, historically go and arrive at, uh, conclusions
00:21:54.700
Step two is to figure out how to fix it, but they're afraid to even ask the question to
00:22:00.760
find out what the hell's going on in order to do a, an assessment of, okay, now that we
00:22:05.820
know how screwed up it is, how do we actually go forward now and put into place measures
00:22:11.680
The, the Republican leadership, and in fact, not even just the, the party operatives I'm
00:22:16.540
talking about, I'm talking about vast numbers of people on the generic center, right.
00:22:21.180
They are terrified of even being seen to be in the same room as people who wish to ask
00:22:26.760
questions about the election, because that means you don't believe that means you question
00:22:35.940
You don't think that we have the greatest thing since sliced bread.
00:22:43.960
Well, you know, and that's, they're afraid of that.
00:22:47.440
Think back to 1960 and that election, John F. Kennedy and Richard M. Nixon, Nixon lost
00:22:58.380
I think it was around a hundred thousand votes and, and, and look to cook County for that margin.
00:23:07.280
And he chose not to pursue a recount, even though it would have been perfectly rational and within
00:23:14.540
his, his prerogatives, because quote unquote, he did not want to cast doubts on the legitimacy
00:23:22.960
Now think about the, that, and that view, by the way, became the basis for every politician
00:23:31.080
I think that there was a, I think there was a, a little irregularity here between the unions
00:23:40.740
and the votes that were turned out and bought in 1960.
00:23:45.020
But Richard Nixon says, even though it's crooked rigged, uh, I'm not going to do anything because
00:23:51.380
that'll cast illegitimacy on an election that he said and believed to be illegitimate, illegal,
00:24:02.160
Uh, so that became the mindset for the establishment for decades to follow right up to 2020.
00:24:12.060
I mean, uh, our democracy is at its best when there's a healthy and vigorous exchange of opposing
00:24:19.760
points of view, uh, not, uh, sort of whimpering compliance.
00:24:24.560
And, uh, you know, the, the problem that we face is that, uh, that requires, uh, I'll go
00:24:31.480
back to your, your testosterone level check, uh, reference.
00:24:35.400
That's a good, good way to describe it, but there's gotta be, I mean, you have to actually
00:24:40.240
Can you imagine that you have to actually believe in the American ideal and in what you stand
00:24:49.840
And you have to have courage of your convictions and, uh, those are rare things.
00:24:56.380
Very, very rare to actually stand up and say, you know what?
00:24:59.160
No, I'm calling, uh, I'm calling this what it is.
00:25:03.940
We may get very upset for the next 20 minutes as we go back and forth arguing, but I'm not
00:25:11.800
The American people are not mushrooms where you throw, you know, throw crap over them and,
0.95
00:25:20.580
This is, and I, I hate this expression that is taken on currency now, uh, in the, at least
0.96
00:25:28.660
the, the chattering class suddenly we're talking, I'm hearing people talk about, well, you know,
00:25:37.820
And I'm, I'm thinking what elite, a son of a gun, you know, and I'm talking about Republicans
00:25:43.660
saying that, how can they get to the point where the GOP, the party of Trump, a populist
00:25:51.720
nationalist figure of historic and historical importance has this as, uh, in his wake, uh,
00:26:08.020
I mean, in my opinion, the, the best president since Washington, um, and, and, and the, the
00:26:15.880
reason why you see this, this is all kind of like snap back, uh, you know, uh, counter
00:26:29.380
And again, it lines up beautifully with all the, the worst tenants of sort of the Bolshevik
0.97
00:26:35.460
left we have in, in, uh, in America, the people that run the democratic party, uh, you, what
00:26:42.620
you see is, you know, count their, uh, their reactionary.
00:26:47.480
So you're seeing a reactionary response to somebody who actually kicked the door down and turned
00:26:53.560
on the lights and raised the shades and said, Hey, this is America.
00:27:00.540
We need to, uh, you know, we need to return to our founding principles and, and, and people
00:27:06.960
are just flipping out and going in the opposite direction as hard and fast as they can.
00:27:11.920
I want to give credit to two people if I can, because, uh, uh, in, in the case of JD Vance,
00:27:18.880
who just won the Republican primary in Ohio, I was neutral on him, uh, neutral to Leary,
00:27:25.160
I would say, and, uh, he went on Tucker Carlson show right after he had won.
00:27:32.600
Uh, and I mean, he went after the Republican establishment and called them out for their
00:27:39.300
corruption, uh, their, uh, their absolute perfidy.
00:27:43.600
Uh, and, and I, I haven't heard that from a single other candidate running, but it was
00:27:50.940
his acknowledgement truthfully and vigorously that he has to beat all the Democrats in the
00:27:57.860
But he also has to be very careful watching and, and, uh, for stalling the Republican establishment
00:28:10.840
And we have to understand that all of us who consider ourselves Republicans, uh, and who
00:28:17.040
support Donald Trump, it, there's no sense to, and by the way, I'm not going to take anybody's
00:28:23.580
Somebody can tell me they really like Mitch McConnell and they really like Kevin McCarthy.
00:28:29.680
It's America, but I can tell you neither one of them has ever done a thing that convinces me
00:28:35.060
that they're prepared to, to be America first, uh, uh, leaders and to be committed to this
00:28:47.880
And, uh, the, uh, I'm curious to, to give the, to learn your second shout out.
00:28:53.080
The first one's JD Vance for, for kind of, uh, and I, and I didn't know Frank, other than
00:28:58.340
the book he wrote, Hillbilly Elegy, I didn't, I was not, uh, not, uh, deeply immersed in
00:29:04.220
the, uh, the mechanics of Ohio Republican politics, as far as who's who and what's what
00:29:12.340
I knew that some people were pulling their hair out of their heads over that others were
00:29:15.780
sort of indifferent, but, uh, I I'm reassured by what you said that, you know, uh, with regard
00:29:21.540
to him explaining the, uh, the struggle with the sort of, uh, the entrenched Republican
00:29:29.600
He was an anti-Trumper and that was the, and I, I was very dismissive of it.
00:29:34.220
Uh, because he was a vigorous anti-Trumper to say the least, uh, but everyone adapts,
00:29:41.220
Uh, sometimes it's sincere and sometimes it isn't, it appears to be sincere and intellectually,
00:29:46.560
uh, you know, uh, he, he's saying the right things.
00:29:50.200
Uh, he is reacting, uh, is I would want, and maybe that's what a good politician does.
00:29:55.800
I'm not going to credit him yet with sincerity, uh, but I do credit him, uh, with the, the right
00:30:03.320
statement in the right direction as a public leader.
00:30:05.700
And I think I've got, suddenly I've got very high hopes for him.
00:30:08.780
Now, the other person I want to credit is Elon Musk, who is, you know, as soon as we saw
00:30:14.620
these six, uh, nonprofits, uh, NGOs, and, uh, you know, these scurrilous advocacy groups
00:30:22.180
signing a letter to attack, to attack the world's richest man.
00:30:33.160
The fact of the matter is they don't want anyone advertising on Twitter and they identify
00:30:39.300
the weakness of Twitter immediately and the dependency that could grow up there.
00:30:44.480
And, and Elon Musk point blank said, sunshine is a great disinfectant.
00:30:49.760
Let's get some transparency about who these groups are, what they're doing.
00:30:53.820
And, and, and, and he, again, committed to unfettered free speech, uh, and he's right.
00:31:01.680
And he's the only businessman I know who's standing up and saying, we must stop this.
00:31:09.620
And he's, and he put $44 billion, not all of his money, but a lot of it.
00:31:15.020
And immediately he has some despair, but the point is he's investing and putting himself
00:31:20.800
at risk for the right reasons and for the right people.
00:31:24.280
That is the American middle-class, the American working man and woman and their families, the
00:31:30.040
Americans who make this country work because that's where the American dream resides.
00:31:34.800
I'm just so proud of him, uh, because he could be doing lots of things, but taking on the
00:31:40.860
establishments of both parties and demanding free speech, uh, for all is, uh, my, uh, that's
00:31:49.020
I'll tell you, well, all you got to do is look at anyone that advocates against free
00:31:54.040
speech, and then you see their really pained, excruciating explanations of how they want
00:32:00.840
to cultivate an ecosystem of, you know, awareness.
00:32:05.680
And, uh, it's all this mush mouth, double talk, phony compassion for the, uh, you know, disenfranchised,
00:32:20.820
I don't even know what the heck they're talking about.
00:32:22.620
I mean, anybody with a cell phone can post or, or say anything they, they please.
00:32:27.520
So the notion that somehow there's this elitist access to the internet is just preposterous.
1.00
00:32:33.740
And the idea that the American public is so stupid is so uncultured, so idiotic that they're
1.00
00:32:41.160
not able to read something and discern for themselves, whether it's real or fake, or whether
1.00
00:32:46.320
they like it or they don't, or they support it or they believe in it or they buy it or
00:32:50.540
I mean, this is the elite of the elite of the elite warning us that again, once again,
00:33:02.140
I mean, well, let's say, you know, let's be, let's use this free speech.
00:33:07.700
His statements about freedom of speech and the necessity to control thought and words are
0.99
00:33:16.380
And anyone who believes in this country should be absolutely sickened at what he said and
0.97
00:33:25.360
And within a week, the next thing, Joe Biden representing the third term of Barack Obama
00:33:31.900
comes out to create the ministry of truth, the disinformation governance board.
00:33:41.040
You couldn't, how, how Orwellian do you want to be?
00:33:45.240
Because that's just about at least the penultimate, if not the ultimate in that language, the opposite
00:33:54.720
He said it was disinformation governance board purpose to stop misinformation.
00:34:06.860
And I encourage every listener to go look up Nina Jankiewicz's Twitter feed and all the
00:34:14.340
various postings of her, her public behavior and conduct and her statements and educate
00:34:21.440
yourself on what this woman stands for and what she has posted and things she said and
00:34:27.820
And, you know, inform your intellect about who this person is, who's been put in charge.
00:34:34.640
And then once you've done that, contemplate what sort of people would select her to be
00:34:43.960
Marxist leftist of the, of the Biden administration and the cabal that pulls the strings of this
00:34:51.040
puppet president, but Jankiewicz, she is, first of all, she's a, she's quite a deal.
00:35:06.680
But she peddled the laptop, the Hunter Biden laptop as Russian disinformation.
00:35:15.400
She peddled the steel dossier is real and not, you know, not a, a, a caricature emanating
00:35:24.520
and originating in the Hillary Clinton campaign and the democratic national committee.
00:35:30.280
She is, uh, she's a, uh, she's a Mary Poppins of the Marxist left.
00:35:39.300
And by the way, she's on record as having saying there should never be such a board as
0.98
00:35:43.760
the one that, uh, uh, apparently has been created by a president with what authority
00:35:50.280
I've asked you a number of people, no one knows what authority, and I'm talking about
00:35:54.220
lawyers, no one knows what authority he's, uh, using, uh, to base the creation of this
00:36:01.180
absurdity and this obscenity called the disinformation governance board.
00:36:07.220
Well, you can rest assured that we have, uh, sent a barrage of, uh, open records requests
00:36:13.900
to our illustrious department of Homeland security, seeking all the records and documents that form
00:36:19.920
the foundation for the decision to create that thing.
00:36:22.880
And, uh, we will have a trove of emails and policy papers and all sorts of interesting and
00:36:29.300
amusing things to read about her, about Mayorkas, about who was pushing this.
00:36:34.380
Because evidently, uh, uh, I think it was daily mail, uh, you have to go to a foreign
1.00
00:36:40.340
paper to learn anything about the United States.
00:36:42.120
By the way, I want to say this about the daily mail.
00:36:45.660
That news organization is embarrassing the American news media, American corporate media.
00:36:55.220
They are running laps around, uh, these, uh, these corporatists, uh, they need to get a
0.69
00:37:04.200
little change in focus and, and perhaps follow the energy and the, uh, integrity of the, of the
00:37:11.800
The daily mail reporters actually, uh, answer all the basic interrogatives in every story.
00:37:17.740
If you can imagine that who, what, run, where, how, and why.
00:37:20.140
And they often have photos and, and, uh, PDFs of records and documents in their stories.
00:37:30.160
Uh, you have to read a foreign paper to find out what's going on in the United States.
00:37:33.940
But, uh, you know, the, the, the amount of documentation behind what was done to create
00:37:40.460
this thing and the incentives and the suggestions and who was kind of pushing from the outside,
00:37:45.360
we will get, uh, all the records and documents about that.
00:37:49.100
And if they don't give them to us, we'll sue them and we'll compel them by court order to
00:37:53.340
So the, the gruesome little details will come out and judicial watch does an amazing job.
00:38:00.680
And we, we both compliment you and thank you, but let's be straightforward about this.
00:38:06.680
It won't be soon and it won't be in time for the midterms.
00:38:17.900
Well, we shouldn't tolerate a judiciary, uh, uh, or a government that operates like it's
00:38:28.440
I mean, to think about what the Supreme court is doing, they take a hundred cases, uh, chew
00:38:33.380
on it for a while, go out and have a Chardonnay come back.
00:38:37.360
Uh, I, I mean, really this is the way in which the Supreme court is supposed to work.
00:38:42.400
This is justice streaking through the great, the great American Republic.
00:38:50.420
Yeah, no, I was going to say a lot of people don't realize that, you know, there's probably
00:38:53.180
10,000, uh, appeals, the writs of certiorari, uh, sent to the Supreme court every year and
00:39:00.480
they cherry pick the anywhere between 60 and 80 normally cases that they decide that they're
00:39:07.360
Most Americans don't realize that they think that it's some process where, Hey, you'll hear
00:39:11.980
people say ignorantly, I'm taking this to the Supreme court.
00:39:17.320
They get about 10,000 applications every year and the justices themselves decide which cases
00:39:24.740
And the overwhelming majority, you know, go right in the garbage pail.
00:39:31.860
And I'm still so disgusted by chief justice, John Roberts.
00:39:35.500
It's hard for me to contain myself because he's the one who said there are no Obama judges.
00:39:43.180
You know, it was a lie on its face and a lie that just reduced him to a caricature, uh,
00:39:51.680
a, and, and by the way, a partisan caricature, uh, in what he was saying, the Supreme court
00:39:58.020
leak, Chris, uh, I think it's a work of the left.
00:40:01.180
I don't know which, uh, I don't know which justice, but Adam Schiff saying that finding
00:40:16.140
I mean, this is my, my guess is we're going to find out that it's a clerk from, I don't
00:40:21.620
know, uh, Sotomayor's or briars or it's going to be so the circle of knowledge ability, the
00:40:28.920
circle of access of people who would have had the ability to get their hands on that
00:40:35.900
So my guess is, uh, the marshal of the Supreme court, who I think is a retired army colonel.
00:40:41.900
I mean, they should have been able to knock this out in about 20 minutes, frankly, but
00:40:45.620
nonetheless, they'll go and do their, their interviews.
00:40:49.800
I also would imagine that there's a bunch of other Supreme court clerks and they're all
00:40:56.720
A lot of them, they don't think it's very funny and they want to see this person, you
00:41:02.360
So I expect that we're going to find out in pretty quick order who did it.
00:41:06.780
Well, I would just suggest a couple of things about that, Chris.
00:41:10.060
One is, I don't think it would be a right-wing clerk because the right-wing clerk would know
00:41:14.980
that he or she was done if they were found out.
00:41:19.260
Whereas if you're a liberal clerk, uh, you will be covered by the party.
00:41:23.540
Perhaps, uh, you know, you spend two years on all expenses, paid vacations by, by leaking
00:41:30.380
this and ginning up the base, uh, for the, the, the Marxist left party.
00:41:35.000
Uh, it's, uh, I, I think frankly, Roberts is not out of contention either here because
00:41:42.200
you're, you recall back when in Obamacare, there was a leak, there was a leak that he was
00:41:49.020
going to vote conservative and there was such public outrage.
00:41:52.360
And we were seeing, by the way, I think just a, an echo of that precise moment.
00:41:57.820
And it's apparently convinced him to change his vote.
00:42:01.560
And that's why he, that backlash public backlash.
00:42:05.760
And that's the reason he went with the liberals.
00:42:08.960
And, and by the way, there's another part of that, that people miss sometimes they never
00:42:18.780
But if you, if you don't look for them, you can't find them.
00:42:24.160
Well, I, I'm, I'm assured that they were looking hard.
00:42:30.120
So whoever, whoever did this one, as you, as you pointed out, they, uh, you know, from
00:42:35.500
the left, they will be awarded their, you know, order of Lennon.
00:42:38.580
And then they will go on and, uh, and head up some, uh, NGO for a few years and then circle
00:42:44.140
back in and, you know, two, three, four administrations down the road, there'll be the
00:42:53.580
Offenses are being put up all around the Supreme court.
00:42:56.240
Uh, left-wing groups are calling not, you know, not for calm and reason they're calling
00:43:03.760
We see Antifa already in two cities, Portland and Los Angeles reacting violently.
00:43:10.280
And by the way, of course, no arrests or prosecutions.
00:43:13.320
We don't, it sounds like an insurrection to me.
00:43:17.240
I called it that on Twitter, uh, because I just think that left, that's the language
00:43:24.780
So insurrection it is, but this is a full blown effort now to intimidate five justices
00:43:34.760
I haven't heard a single response from the leadership of the Republican party.
00:43:38.880
I haven't heard a single business leader in this country.
00:43:41.580
You remember when business leaders, CEOs, chairman of the board actually stood up and said something
00:43:47.040
about the national interest and begged for morality in the public square and conducted
00:44:00.840
We have accomplices to the Marxist left and they fund them.
00:44:06.180
They incorporate them into their HR departments or otherwise known as their political
00:44:11.060
organizations within the corporation, uh, and do everything they can, uh, to roll forward
00:44:17.880
with an agenda that is, that is alien to America and anti-American as it can be.
00:44:25.620
Well, there was a time when economic nationalism expressed itself, you know, as America first
00:44:30.020
also, when it came to our industry manufacturing base, but you know, all those sort of strengths
00:44:36.700
of, uh, of, of days gone by and, uh, American CEOs and business owners were unapologetically
00:44:44.080
pro-American now, you know, they're all worried about, uh, the, the, the next protest or the
00:44:50.020
next group of 26 phony leftist groups that are going to, you know, attack them, uh, via
00:44:55.860
Twitter or some other social media platform and, you know, call for boycotts and all the rest
00:45:01.980
And we, and we had Billy Graham, we've got Franklin Graham, who's, who is, uh, offering
00:45:09.980
We have the Pope who I thought did the right thing.
00:45:12.960
He was going to go talk to Moscow, to Vladimir Putin and Moscow, but, but Ukraine.
00:45:18.740
But then just yesterday, he decided to announce that perhaps the reason Putin had invaded Ukraine
00:45:27.560
and I'm, I'm, I'm, uh, reducing this to its essence, uh, maybe it was, uh, he used the expression
00:45:38.180
And so the Pope is probably out as a, uh, honest broker and a leader for peace.
00:45:45.340
Uh, it was a stunning moment, assuming he was, uh, translated correctly.
00:45:54.520
We should, somebody should go find Benedict and see what he has to say.
00:45:57.080
Well, there's something for everybody, as they say, I appreciate it, Chris.
00:46:03.920
Uh, as always, we give our guests the last word and Chris, thank you for being here and
00:46:13.140
Um, I just want to reassure all of your listeners that judicial watch will continue to do what
00:46:28.320
We're still getting answers to FOIA open records requests that are 16 and 17 years old.
00:46:34.080
So, uh, we will continue to fight, to bring the truth, documentary evidence to the American
00:46:39.860
And we always appreciate the opportunity, whether it's myself or my colleague, Tom Fitton, to
00:46:44.940
come on your show and talk about our work and talk about the, the state of affairs in
00:46:52.980
And, uh, my, my great personal thanks and respect to you always.
00:47:00.000
He's the director of research and investigations for judicial watch, uh, and God bless you for
00:47:09.420
Chris, uh, look forward to our next conversation.
00:47:16.840
I hope you'll join us tomorrow when our guest will be one of the January 6th defendants who
00:47:22.120
had to stand alone against the power of the authoritarian left against a politically corrupt
00:47:31.640
Brandon Strzok has spent the past year trying to rebuild his life, a life upended by the Capitol
00:47:38.120
and DC police and federal prosecutors who tried to make an example of him because he was a
00:47:51.740
Please be with us tomorrow, right here on the great America show till then.
