00:01:18.340 Hello, everybody. I'm Lou Dobbs. Welcome to the Great America Show. Thank you for being with us.

00:01:27.720 We did it. After three weeks, the Republican Party has finally elected a Speaker of the House.

00:01:33.780 Congressman Mike Johnson of Louisiana elected the 56th Speaker of the House. After taking the gavel,

00:01:40.420 Johnson addressed the House chamber and he made clear he's ready to get to work. He's ready to

00:01:46.620 restore the American people's faith and trust in the Congress. I want to say to the American people

00:01:52.100 on behalf of all of us here, we hear you. We know the challenges you're facing. We know that

00:01:58.160 there's a lot going on in our country, domestically and abroad, and we are ready to get to work again

00:02:04.340 to solve those problems, and we will. Our mission here is to serve you well, to restore the people's

00:02:10.900 faith in this house, in this great and essential institution. I think all the American people at

00:02:17.260 one time had great pride in this institution, but right now that's in jeopardy. And we have a

00:02:25.360 challenge before us right now to rebuild and restore that trust. This is a beautiful country. It's the

00:02:31.960 beauty of America that allows a firefighter's kid like me to come here and serve in this sacred

00:02:36.520 chamber where great men and women have served before all of us and strive together to build

00:02:42.020 and then preserve what Lincoln did refer to as the last best hope of man on earth. We stand at a very

00:02:48.320 dangerous time. I'm stating the obvious. We all know that the world is in turmoil, but a strong America

00:02:53.940 is good for the entire world. We wish Speaker Johnson the best of luck and hope he governs with an

00:03:01.260 America first agenda. Godspeed, Mr. Speaker. Now that we have a speaker and one who appears to be just

00:03:08.180 the leader the country needs throughout all of our government, the house is set to get back to

00:03:13.320 business, and that includes continuing to expose the Biden crime family corruption, and the evidence

00:03:19.460 is piling up. According to new documents obtained by Senator Chuck Grassley just yesterday,

00:03:25.660 the FBI reportedly received criminal information from over 40 confidential sources on President Biden,

00:03:34.940 Hunter Biden, and Joe's brother James Biden. Think about that. 40 different sources. The report says the

00:03:43.720 FBI maintained those 40 sources on various criminal matters related to the Biden crime family. They date back

00:03:51.260 to Joe's time as vice president. The informants were managed by a number of FBI field offices across the

00:03:58.460 country, even as far away as Seattle. But Grassley learned that the FBI task force in D.C. ultimately took over

00:04:07.240 and shut down all reporting and information from those 40 sources by falsely discrediting the information as

00:04:15.680 are you ready for this as foreign disinformation. Sounds familiar, right? The FBI found something and they just kept

00:04:24.760 using it. The corruption in the FBI is obviously pervasive. It is long lasting and it is from top to bottom. While the

00:04:34.340 House was electing a new speaker, President Trump was back in a New York courtroom. And while on break, the president,

00:04:41.880 President Trump spoke to the media. As he usually does, he called out Marxist judge, Arthur Ingeron,

00:04:49.280 for being highly partisan.

00:04:50.860 As you know, and I say it again and again, because I've never said anything like it, I don't get a jury.

00:04:56.600 This was a trial should have never been brought, but if we had a jury, it would have been fair,

00:05:00.640 at least, even if it was a somewhat negative jury, because no negative jury was brought against me.

00:05:06.320 But this judge will, because this judge is a very partisan judge, with a person who's very partisan

00:05:12.600 sitting alongside of him, perhaps even much more partisan than he is. So we are doing very well.

00:05:20.000 And when President Trump arrived back in the courtroom from that break, he took the stand

00:05:25.320 for about a minute and then Judge Ingeron asked him who he was referring to when he said, quote,

00:05:32.180 the judge and the person sitting next to him are highly partisan, end quote. Trump said he's

00:05:38.440 referring to the judge and Michael Cohen. The judge said Trump was not being honest in his testimony

00:05:43.980 and fined the president ten thousand dollars and said that if Trump did it again, it will be much

00:05:50.400 worse. This New York judge is acting as though he's mentally ill. Folks, he knows that he's abusing 0.92

00:05:57.860 his power every day in court. This judge has gone way too far imposing a gag order, first of all, on 0.95

00:06:04.220 a president who's the leading candidate for the presidency opposing Joe Biden and leading him in the polls,

00:06:11.620 by the way. And this judge is interfering in the election by any definition. The judge might as

00:06:17.980 well be presiding in a Soviet court. When does this end? Well, a new era in Congress. All 220

00:06:25.140 Republicans today voted for Congressman Mike Johnson. You might ask, who is Mike Johnson? Well, he is now

00:06:33.300 the Speaker, of course, of the House. Let's bring in our guest today as we talk about this new man

00:06:38.740 in the third most powerful position in our government. Joining us is Congressman Andy

00:06:44.240 Biggs, member of the House Freedom Caucus. And Congressman, as always, great to have you with

00:06:48.900 us. Congratulations. Not a single Republican failed to vote for the new speaker. Your reaction to it all?

00:06:56.680 Well, Lou, I'm enthusiastic. I'm optimistic. I always temper my enthusiasm and my optimism because I know how

00:07:04.400 this place works. But this is the guy that I think can really actually has the potential to be a

00:07:14.040 transformational type of speaker. I mean, he's got a conservative heart. He has tried cases

00:07:20.240 at every level in the federal and state level to support life and families and stuff,

00:07:28.620 the Constitution. He's articulate. He's smart. I came into Congress with him together. We've known

00:07:36.000 each other. We've sat side by side on the dais and the Judiciary Committee since we came in. He

00:07:44.880 defended Trump twice in two impeachment hearings. He's just really, he's got his work cut out for him.

00:07:53.800 That's why that's the only tempering of my optimism. But he's the right guy for the right time,

00:07:59.180 I believe. Well, that's encouraging for all of us to hear, especially coming from you, Congressman,

00:08:04.580 because your values are clear, straightforward, American and constitutional. And, you know,

00:08:14.580 I think about all any of us could have asked for. Well, personally, I wanted Jordan, of course,

00:08:19.380 to be speaker. But failing that, I'm very hopeful that this man with his values will be, as you said,

00:08:29.100 the right man for the time. I can't see why, you know, I can't see why we should have any problem

00:08:36.340 in terms of his philosophy, his judgment. Now it's about leadership. What do you think?

00:08:43.080 No, I think that's right. I think, look, the swamp is deep. It's filled with alligators.

00:08:49.700 There will be people who try to undermine him every way he goes. And the good news is,

00:08:57.920 I think he's going to respect the conservatives, you know, the Freedom Caucus, other conservatives in

00:09:04.660 the conference. But he does it in such a way that even if you disagree with him, I think he's going to

00:09:11.540 be able to woo some of our hardcore other side of the spectrum Republicans. And so he's got his work

00:09:20.480 cut out for him. But we, on the conservative side, we have such a good relationship with him.

00:09:27.420 I think we'll be able to help him where he needs help. And he's already set his agenda.

00:09:32.440 We're already going to the floor to vote today, Lou. And that's when I saw him, excuse me,

00:09:37.900 we talked to him last over the weekend. I said, Mike, if you become the speaker, I'm going to tell

00:09:43.520 you, you need to get the Israel resolution to the floor immediately. And we need to go right into the

00:09:49.160 debate. And then let's start on the two easiest appropriations bills, the ledge bill to fund the

00:09:58.060 Congress, and then one on energy and water. Those are already out of rules. Let's do them. 0.62

00:10:03.940 And he's already set those. We're going to vote, Lou, in not too long from now. And then we're going

00:10:09.400 to go right into the debate on those other two bills, which we'll be voting tomorrow. We're back

00:10:14.680 to work. Well, that is both, I think, great counsel and great to hear that that's the path that he is

00:10:21.840 taking. Because now, coming straight at us, is November 17th and the end of that continuing

00:10:30.040 resolution. And a lot of judgments have got to be made on appropriations, how you will deal with

00:10:36.240 appropriations, and whether or not you will assert the power of the House of Representatives against

00:10:41.400 the executive branch. Because if you don't, I believe we're going to be in the same

00:10:47.740 quagmire that we were just three weeks ago.

00:10:53.120 Yeah, I agree with that. You know, Mike's a good friend, so I can call him up. And he doesn't,

00:11:01.740 you know, nobody takes my advice, Lou, you know, they discounted. But what I would tell him is,

00:11:08.180 is Bill Clinton set the example 20 some odd years ago, when Congress didn't want to get its job done

00:11:16.680 on the budget. He said, okay, here's what we're going to do. We're going to do a continuing resolution

00:11:21.740 one day at a time, until you guys get your job done. You don't need to do a 45, 65, 90 day deal.

00:11:30.720 If you can't get your job done, okay, we're going to give you another day. And then we'll give you

00:11:36.100 another day. And at that place, that wreaks havoc with the bureaucracy. They hate that. K Street,

00:11:43.180 they hate that type of thing, Lou. But you know what happens? Congress has to get its job done. And when we

00:11:48.320 do, we save the American people from an omnibus bill, we save them from a CR. That's what I would

00:11:55.100 say. You may not want to do one day, but maybe do three days or a week or whatever. But you do,

00:12:00.680 I'm not willing to even concede you do that until the House has all its bills out and into the Senate

00:12:07.280 and let the Senate own its failure to act.

00:12:11.120 It's failure to act on the appropriations that you will, if you will, target against the federal

00:12:19.360 government. You know, some of it's completely, I shouldn't say the federal government's, the Biden

00:12:26.000 regime's idiotic policies and decisions that, and their rule by fiat. I've never seen the likes of 0.99

00:12:33.560 this, Congressman. Neither have you, I know, because there's never been a president who just basically

00:12:38.680 said to the American people, we're going to tell Congress to go to hell and we're just going to do

00:12:42.620 what we want here and we're going to get away with it. And to this point, they've done just exactly 0.93

00:12:49.340 that, haven't they? Yeah, they have. And that's one of the reasons I felt the motion to vacate was

00:12:54.640 appropriate because, look, Lou, it isn't just that they told Congress that they're not going to do what

00:13:01.560 we passed laws to do, what we've instructed them to do, or how we fund them. They told the courts,

00:13:07.740 we don't care if you tell us what we're doing is unconstitutional. Lou, I actually, in a hearing,

00:13:15.660 Secretary Mayorkas literally told us, he says, well, yeah, of course we have operational control

00:13:22.000 of the border. So we showed him what the statute says. And he says, oh, no, we're not, we don't

00:13:27.080 worry about the statute because we don't think anybody could ever do that. We've established our

00:13:31.300 own definition of operational control. You know what that is? That's a guy who should be impeached

00:13:37.560 he should not be sitting in that office. And we, you know, we've done precious little to hold this

00:13:44.460 administration accountable and to exert our influence, which comes through the, through

00:13:49.200 impeachment comes through the oversight process, and it comes through the check and balance of

00:13:55.640 the purse strings. And if we don't do that, then of course, they're going to say up yours. We don't

00:14:01.520 give a rat, whether the judiciary says, we don't care what the Congress says.

00:14:06.680 We're talking with Congressman Andy Biggs, and we're coming right back with him. We'll be right

00:14:12.560 back. Stay with us.

00:14:19.480 We're back with our guest, Congressman Andy Biggs, a great American talking about a, well,

00:14:25.140 a man who just got all of the Republican votes to be Speaker of the House. Congressman, it turns

00:14:30.680 out Mike Johnson's going to be the most inexperienced in terms of terms in office, the most inexperienced

00:14:38.440 speaker since 1883. You, I, your affirmation of everything about him sounds to me like experience

00:14:46.820 doesn't matter here for the Speaker.

00:14:48.780 No, no. What we have found out, Lou, is the more, more experience you have, and that means

00:14:54.840 you've been here longer. That means more corruptible you are. I mean, the, the, the bottom line is 0.78

00:15:00.360 the DC cartel is, is spinning around right now because, uh, you got Mike Johnson, who's not part

00:15:08.880 of the DC cartel. Um, and that is exactly what I wanted is someone who was not part of the cartel,

00:15:15.480 um, where a case streak doesn't own you, um, where, uh, the bureaucracy doesn't threaten you,

00:15:22.440 where the, where, you know, and, and he's proven himself a fearless fighter, you know,

00:15:27.240 taking on cases against Goliath the whole time. And he's been like David, but Lou experience in

00:15:35.020 Washington, DC, that may not be the best, uh, resume builder. If you ask me.

00:15:40.940 Well, I'm just thinking, as you're saying that, uh, I guess the solution could be six month term

00:15:46.560 limits and, uh, 30 day CRs and we, we would have a functioning government. What do you think?

00:15:53.160 I don't know if I'd go that far, but look, this is in the past 25 years, these guys,

00:15:58.860 these guys have given us three year long CRs. And, and just so people understand what a CR is,

00:16:05.940 that's where it's, you have one monolithic bill that takes everything and how you, how you fund

00:16:11.540 the government and you throw it in one bill. That's how you get those three, 4,000 page bills

00:16:15.080 and you never, ever reduce the size and scope of federal government because you can't,

00:16:20.580 because it's just this blob that keeps going along. And so, uh, you know, that's why CRs are so bad.

00:16:26.400 They are the worst. And that's why the swamp loves them. The swamp loves CRs. 0.70

00:16:31.400 Right. Well, and the omnibus is, uh, you know, a thing of beauty to the military industrial complex,

00:16:38.240 the establishment, uh, to corporate America and to all who feed at the trough of the federal

00:16:43.780 government. Uh, it is, uh, it is, I hope what I'm hearing you say, but this is you correct me if

00:16:50.320 I'm wrong is that we've got a chance for true reform here. Yeah, we do. It's an uphill battle

00:16:56.560 because we have a thin majority and we also have, I mean, let's just face it. The, the,

00:17:02.620 the swamp still controls a good number of my colleagues, right? They do. And they're going

00:17:08.580 to fight this tooth and nail, but I'll tell you what we did though. We put a chink in the armor 1.00

00:17:13.620 by electing Mike Johnson in the, in the DC swamp. We, we actually, we actually took a bit of a swipe at

00:17:22.380 them. Uh, and we, we, you know, so we took, we actually got infrastructure, uh, changes last

00:17:29.160 January, but Kevin wasn't going to follow those Mr. McCarthy, Speaker McCarthy. Then we get Mike

00:17:35.360 Johnson. He is a conservative at heart and he can, and hopefully will follow all of those

00:17:43.180 infrastructure changes. And if he does, we have a chance for some transformation here.

00:17:48.640 Well, that's great. And that's encouraging. Uh, is he strong enough to take on the left and

00:17:53.840 your judgment? Uh, that's, I guess the real question I'm getting to, is he strong enough to

00:18:00.720 actually stand against the Marxist steps? I think he is. Uh, I think he is. I've watched him, uh,

00:18:08.280 do that. He's very thoughtful. He's very bright. He's very articulate. He's very principled. So when I

00:18:13.580 say that I've watched him on everything from, from, he, he joined my, my effort to decertify

00:18:22.240 Arizona in the election of 2020. And, and in order to do it, I had to convince people that there was

00:18:30.280 a constitute legitimate constitutional question. I did that. And he joined with us. He stood up,

00:18:36.280 he stood up, um, for Donald Trump and the two impeachments that were just absolutely bogus. Uh,

00:18:43.000 and he, he went toe to toe with, uh, crazy Raskin and Adam Schiff, uh, and, and Jerry Nadler every

00:18:50.060 step of the way. And so, uh, yeah, I think he's demonstrated he can stand up to them.

00:18:56.020 Well, that is great. And, uh, the motion to vacate, if I'm moving around here, but the motion to vacate,

00:19:04.560 is it still in place or is that now cast aside? Still in place as we, as we sit here right now.

00:19:11.900 Well, that is, uh, that's encouraging. And I think, uh, it'll, it'll be helpful, uh, to everyone.

00:19:17.840 I think it's on one level, it, it may seem a little stringent to people, uh, but I think it's really

00:19:24.920 quite a, quite a clear statement, uh, if you will, uh, what is expected cause and effect and

00:19:31.360 consequences will have consequences, right? Yeah. I'm a big believer in that. And, um,

00:19:38.680 look, everybody needs to, everybody gets held accountable. I try to be transparent with my

00:19:43.800 district. Um, and, and I tell them what I'm going to do. And then I try to do that. And if they think,

00:19:50.920 if they don't like what I'm doing, believe me, they let me know, they let me know. And, um,

00:19:56.780 the same thing on this level, I don't know why anybody thought that it was an inherent right in

00:20:01.640 some individual to be the speaker of the house in perpetuity, regardless of your performance.

00:20:07.600 And so, so for me, it was like, um, it was time to do it. Um, and I do feel, uh, we're, we're,

00:20:16.040 we're quite heaven blessed, quite frankly, because I think people, as they get to know Mike Johnson,

00:20:20.380 they're going to say, Oh my gosh, what a breath of fresh air. Well, I can tell you your enthusiasm

00:20:26.120 for him and your commendation of him makes me feel a hundred percent better, uh, about him and what

00:20:34.820 the prospects are for the party. Uh, he has, you have, the Congress has one short, well, actually it's

00:20:42.940 less than a year now, uh, to move forward with impeachment to, uh, accomplish everything you're

00:20:49.500 talking about in terms of appropriations and, and moving ahead, uh, and, and actually doing

00:20:55.940 something because the actual accomplishments of the 118th to this point are frankly disappointing.

00:21:02.680 Uh, and here we are approaching November. Yeah, that's right, Lou. And that's, that was one of

00:21:08.300 my objections, my colleagues objections with those of us who moved to vacate. Not only did he,

00:21:14.500 did Mr. McCarthy mess up the, the debt ceiling. So we don't have a debt ceiling. Not only did he

00:21:19.180 delay all the 12 appropriations bills, which violated his promise. So now, and then he was

00:21:25.840 lobbying for a CR. Um, but what did we do? What did we accomplish? I mean, did we, we took down a,

00:21:33.180 a, a federal gas rule, gas stove rule. I mean, is that, is that what you got to, to, to, to campaign

00:21:40.500 on? That's absurd. There is so much this president is doing to take down this country and the Democrat

00:21:46.700 left as attacking this country. There was so much more we could have done. And I felt like we were

00:21:54.220 static and we had to make the change. I felt. We're talking with Congressman Andy Biggs,

00:22:00.960 and we're going to talk about just exactly what Speaker Johnson must do, has to do, and likely will

00:22:08.720 do, uh, in order to save not only the Republic, but the Republican party. Stay with us. We'll be right

00:22:14.580 back. We're back now with Congressman Andy Biggs and Congressman, we're talking about the, the year

00:22:27.040 that between now and the November 5th, 2024, uh, all that has to be done. Uh, what do you see as the

00:22:35.640 first concrete, uh, uh, accomplishment that has to go on the board? Uh, to me, frankly, it is because

00:22:43.600 of the circumstances, the test on November 17th, in terms of the budget. The second with our question

00:22:49.860 is these investigating committees have got to produce results now and take, I mean, I do not

00:22:56.000 understand. Help me. I do not understand why the man who is in the white house with obvious impairment,

00:23:01.960 uh, with obvious, uh, corruption, uh, that, uh, you know, permeates the entire Biden regime hasn't

00:23:10.680 been impeached already. Yeah. So I would say the first thing is, as you, as you pointed out,

00:23:17.000 it's the budget. Um, we are in an existential crisis on a, from a budgetary front. The, the out of

00:23:22.920 control federal spending is what's driving inflation, uh, which in turn drives inflation rates higher,

00:23:28.760 which means that, that you move into a recessionary cycle with regard to homes, which drives a

00:23:34.300 significant portion of our economy. So that's the good news is that, is that Mike is a speaker.

00:23:41.660 Johnson is, is actually, uh, we're going to the floor. We're going to, we're going to debate some

00:23:47.040 of those approach bills today, but he's got to get, in my opinion, um, we, we're going to have to get

00:23:52.440 the rest of those bills, the last six bills after these two, we're going to have to get those done

00:23:58.400 and out, um, probably within the next 10 days. And you put that over to the Senate and the Senate

00:24:06.020 is going to drag its feet. They're not going to do anything. They're going to want to do an omnibus

00:24:10.140 bill or massive CR. And Mike is going to have to say, no, we're not going to do that in the house.

00:24:16.540 And that will be the first challenge to him will be how he deals with that CR that will come back from

00:24:23.040 the Senate. And my position would be, you tell them, no, we'll, we'll, we're going to pass a two

00:24:28.260 day CR, whatever it is, a short, very short term CR while we, while you guys determine whether you're

00:24:33.780 going to do these bills. And, and, and I hate to even talk about CRs cause I've never voted for one,

00:24:39.280 but, but you, you keep it under control if it's a day or two, because then you say, okay, um, that's

00:24:45.000 the way it is. The other thing option is a shutdown. And by that time we will have funded a hundred

00:24:49.220 percent of the government out of the house and it will be up to the Senate. And they'll be the ones 0.95

00:24:53.700 that are shutting down the government, not us. And so, you know, a lot of my colleagues, that's

00:24:59.740 anathema to them. They're very nervous. And Mike has to thread that needle very carefully. Then you

00:25:04.380 talk about, before we get to impeachment, I will tell you what else has to happen, right? You have to

00:25:10.140 then make sure that you've, you've, you've slingshot, slingshotted a new foundation for next year

00:25:16.820 on the spending, because what the next spending has to do is you have to use the spending to

00:25:22.400 leverage enforcement at the border, because Lou, we are in a crisis on the border. Like, um, I've

00:25:30.280 never seen, I I've, I've never seen anything like it. It's a diaspora from, uh, uh, around the world.

00:25:37.120 That's funneling itself right up to the Southern border. And it's, it's, they're releasing thousands

00:25:44.520 of people into Southern Arizona now, just releasing them. Um, and this is national security

00:25:49.440 issue. So he's going to, the way you're going to, he's going to have to do that. He's going to have

00:25:53.000 to leverage the spending. And so that's why he's got to accelerate that, um, past anything that I've

00:26:00.340 seen in the last 30 years, right? So it has to go, I haven't been here 30 years, but, uh, as,

00:26:05.140 as one watching and looking at history, then, then I think we move into the, the impeachment and the

00:26:10.960 oversight stuff that you're talking about. I know that the oversight committee, uh, was ready last

00:26:17.160 June to advance to an impeachment inquiry, but we didn't get to that till when till September. Why?

00:26:24.180 Because I believe that the former speaker was trying to leverage impeachment inquiry to try to get

00:26:30.500 support for a CR. Um, so we missed opportunity after opportunity, and that's part of what's delayed it.

00:26:36.980 But in the meantime, I was at a, uh, an interview last weekend, uh, last Friday. Uh, it's amazing

00:26:45.040 the, the evidence that we have. The part of our problem is we've got so much evidence. You're

00:26:50.500 trying to parse it out and, and, and use the most effective evidence, even though you have a mess of

00:26:56.840 evidence. So we have to do that. I know that James Comer, I've talked to him, Chairman Comer,

00:27:02.120 he's, he's got, he's prepared subpoenas for Hunter Biden, uh, Rob Walker, Eric, uh, Eric Swearen,

00:27:11.080 some others, uh, that I'm trying to get subpoenas on that are an additionally related, uh, corruption

00:27:17.220 on the part of the Bidens. And then Mike Johnson will sign off with him. I know that, uh, Speaker

00:27:23.420 Johnson will sign off on those ASAP because he understands the corruption in the White House.

00:27:28.480 Are you saying that, are you saying that Kevin McCarthy didn't, uh, wouldn't sign those subpoenas?

00:27:35.440 I think he would have, he would have signed those subpoenas, but, um, he was trying to leverage

00:27:42.020 the impeachment inquiry to get votes for his CR. That's my, that's my belief. I speculate on that.

00:27:48.860 I believe that though.

00:27:50.220 Well, defunding the special counsels, speaking of, uh, the appropriations process and, uh, taking

00:27:57.640 control, uh, is that a priority for the, for the conference? Because of what the political

00:28:04.720 persecution, the persecution of president Trump is, is outrageous and there's been no response.

00:28:11.440 Yeah. Um, I'm going to, yeah, I've always been a straight shooter with you, Lou. I am there for

00:28:17.680 that. I've offered amendments and stuff to that effect. Others have as well. We just think we can't

00:28:24.620 get the votes out of the Republican conference to do that. That's what you need to know that. That's,

00:28:29.760 that's the handicap that not just me, but the new speaker is going to be dealing with. Um,

00:28:35.560 and I, and also don't forget that you've got speaker McCarthy, who I think, um, is, um,

00:28:42.660 is still upset and raw that he's not the speaker anymore. So you got to, he's, this is, this is the

00:28:49.920 stuff we got to deal with. We have to deal with it though. And well, you're the right man to be

00:28:55.360 dealing with it. And we appreciate everything you're doing as you have always done, uh, representing the

00:29:01.360 good people of Arizona and, uh, and the nation. Congressman Andy Biggs, thanks for joining us
