Summary

The war in Ukraine has expanded to a full-fledged global war on truth. The Russians called for a U.N. Security Council meeting to charge the U.S. with supporting a biological weapons program in Ukraine. The White House denied the charges and said Russia called the meeting to give legitimacy to their disinformation campaign.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Great America podcast with Lou Dobbs,
00:00:04.200 always in the fight for truth, justice, and yes, our American way of life.
00:00:09.240 And now here he is, the Peabody award-winning voice of truth, the great Lou Dobbs.
00:00:14.360 Hello, everybody, and welcome to the Great America show.
00:00:17.720 We begin, of course, with the war on Ukraine. Russian tanks remain at the outskirts of Kiev.
00:00:23.560 It appears those attacks throughout Ukraine are about to intensify, as the Russian shelling
00:00:30.180 of key cities, including Maripol and others, are still holding out against the Russian invaders.
00:00:36.520 And the war in Ukraine has expanded to a full-fledged global war on truth.
00:00:42.100 The Russians called for a U.N. Security Council meeting to charge the United States with supporting
00:00:48.280 a bioweapons program in Ukraine, that Russia's military, as they move deeper into Ukraine,
00:00:55.420 discovered some 30 biological weapons laboratories working with the United States.
00:01:01.680 The U.S. denied the charges and said Russia called the Security Council meeting
00:01:06.080 to give legitimacy to their disinformation campaign.
00:01:10.900 Ukraine President Zelensky said he's worried about Russia using biochemical weapons against Ukrainians,
00:01:17.140 saying, if you want to know what Russia is doing, look at what they accuse others of doing.
00:01:23.480 The bioweapons claim was supported by Tucker Carlson.
00:01:27.040 The highest-rated cable TV host earned the Mediite Loser of the Week award.
00:01:33.060 Mediite gave Tucker the award reluctantly, as they put it,
00:01:36.680 for boosting the Kremlin claim over the White House claim.
00:01:40.280 But there is another truth at work here that too many have missed.
00:01:44.080 The Undersecretary of State, Victoria Nuland, in front of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee,
00:01:50.160 admitted the Ukrainians have what she called, quote,
00:01:53.280 biological research facilities, end quote.
00:01:57.100 And then she went on to say the Biden administration is concerned Russian troops may be trying to seize
00:02:03.980 those laboratories and take control of the research materials contained in those labs.
00:02:10.420 Whoa, that doesn't sound so innocent, does it?
00:02:14.500 And especially coming from the Undersecretary of State, Nuland.
00:02:18.360 She's a hardcore neocon, and now we have another problem.
00:02:22.680 She's created a hole in the White House denials,
00:02:25.540 but for the sake of truth-telling and honest virtue,
00:02:29.960 or for her ideological purpose, or that of the Biden White House?
00:02:34.700 Or are they one and the same?
00:02:36.700 Ambiguity is condition normal at the State Department,
00:02:40.760 and Nuland just exited condition normal and raised new questions.
00:02:45.940 Now, there's another problem.
00:02:48.120 Who is telling the truth here?
00:02:50.300 The Biden White House lies to the American people every day,
00:02:54.240 so I personally can't line up with him.
00:02:56.720 And Putin isn't exactly a truth-sayer himself, is he?
00:03:00.280 So I can't line up with him, certainly.
00:03:02.240 So for a tiebreaker, I had to turn to Al Franken and his latest remarks.
00:03:08.580 Disgraced former senator and hardcore leftist,
00:03:11.820 Franken called poor Tucker a nasty name.
00:03:15.180 POS for those who want to decode the vulgarity that he used
00:03:19.920 for supporting Putin over good old honest Joe.
00:03:23.280 So here we are.
00:03:24.640 Can't go with Franken, who always had a deeply disturbed relationship with truth,
00:03:28.900 and not with Biden, who has never had a relationship at all.
00:03:33.180 So it seems like an almost unbreakable tie to me,
00:03:36.700 and I don't know how long it will be before we know the truth of the thing,
00:03:40.920 if we ever do.
00:03:42.580 But I keep coming back to Undersecretary Nuland's non-denial.
00:03:47.360 And I have to say, Mediate may be proved right, ultimately.
00:03:51.500 But Carlson's not the loser quite yet.
00:03:54.180 There are far too many lies flying in the midst of the biggest disinformation campaign
00:03:59.360 since the Cold War to declare anyone the loser.
00:04:03.320 And we probably won't know until we have a winner.
00:04:07.140 And that winner looks to be a long ways off, unfortunately.
00:04:11.880 The Republicans have stepped into the Ukraine crisis
00:04:14.560 and may well have created an electoral crisis for themselves,
00:04:18.180 the 40 GOP senators who are calling for the Biden White House
00:04:22.800 to give Ukraine the Polish MiG fighters they asked for,
00:04:26.780 and maybe throw in another few A-10s just for good measure,
00:04:31.440 despite Vladimir Putin's warning that he would take that as an act of war.
00:04:36.700 No problem, say those 40 Republicans, including, of course, Mitt Romney.
00:04:41.500 Biden says no way.
00:04:44.100 And unfortunately, the war in Ukraine is far from over.
00:04:46.720 No talks between Ukraine and Russia are scheduled,
00:04:50.320 and the U.N. and the European Union appear hapless and incapable
00:04:54.020 of bringing about even a ceasefire or perhaps even talks aimed at that result.
00:05:00.060 To take up all of this, we're joined by Congressman Greg Stubbe,
00:05:03.660 a member of the Foreign Affairs and Judiciary Committees.
00:05:07.560 Congressman Stubbe, great to have you with us.
00:05:09.680 And let's start with Ukraine.
00:05:11.480 Your thoughts as we are watching President Zelensky put on an amazing display of leadership,
00:05:20.900 taking his country and matching it up with the second biggest military in the world
00:05:28.100 and at least staving off the Russians for the time being.
00:05:33.200 Yeah, I mean, he's really emerged as a world leader, which is interesting.
00:05:36.560 Given his background, he was like a comedian or an actor or something before he got elected.
00:05:41.160 But he has certainly stepped up and done exactly what you expect a leader of a country who's being attacked
00:05:47.500 by a dictatorship evil regime to do.
00:05:52.020 He's out there wearing a bulletproof flak vest with his soldiers.
00:05:55.680 He's out there trying to encourage his people to be courageous.
00:06:01.040 And he's doing exactly what I wish our leaders in the White House and in the administration were doing,
00:06:08.800 and portraying a very strong position of power and strength to encourage the people in Ukraine
00:06:15.660 to continue to fight against Russian aggression and beg the rest of the Western world
00:06:20.800 and the United States and other countries to send him the weapons, the ammunition, the equipment, the javelins,
00:06:27.680 which, oh, by the way, Trump did when Trump was president, send him javelins to be able to defend himself and his people.
00:06:33.700 That's just absolutely heartbreaking to see these video footage.
00:06:37.220 I saw one this morning of a tank, a Russian tank, shooting what was clearly a civilian vehicle.
00:06:45.240 It looked like a two-car, a two-door sedan that we now find out there was an elderly Ukrainian couple there.
00:06:52.360 I mean, the videos, the reports that we're getting of targeting civilians, shooting hospitals,
00:06:58.700 shooting civilian targets is absolutely atrocious.
00:07:02.440 It violates rules of war.
00:07:04.420 It violates the Geneva Conventions, and this country, Putin and the Russian government should be held accountable for all of this.
00:07:12.180 Yeah, and I don't think that too many people expected much more of the Russian military.
00:07:19.120 They have a reputation that suggested that they would just roll over Ukraine and take Kiev within a matter of days.
00:07:29.600 It's now been weeks, and they are at the door of Kiev, but nonetheless, the Ukrainians have done a masterful job carrying the resistance,
00:07:42.660 and the Ukrainian military carrying the fight to them wherever they could.
00:07:47.600 You mentioned javelins, Congressman, and the fact that President Trump is the one who gave those, sent those to the Ukrainians.
00:07:55.360 Those are remarkably effective weapons, and to see the video of that relatively small convoy of T-72 Russian tanks.
00:08:05.840 I mean, they annihilated them with those weapons.
00:08:08.840 That's really an extraordinary weapon in the arsenal, isn't it?
00:08:12.880 Yeah, and I think we should be doing more of that.
00:08:15.260 But, you know, we're not – I still don't – well, I understand the logistical pieces of putting the patriots in Poland
00:08:21.760 because Ukrainians just don't have the training to deal with a weapon system like that.
00:08:25.720 I get that.
00:08:26.240 But let's get them what we can.
00:08:28.400 Let's get them weapons.
00:08:29.480 Let's get them ammo.
00:08:30.380 Let's get them javelins.
00:08:31.560 Let's get them things that will be able to defend themselves because, as I was explaining in the video I saw this morning,
00:08:36.920 having a normal suburban civilian vehicle isn't going to stand against a Russian tank.
00:08:41.840 So if there's things that we can do to protect the civilians and the citizens of Ukraine, I think we absolutely have an obligation.
00:08:50.080 I think we actually have a moral obligation to help in any way that we can.
00:08:54.300 And Congress passed some aid last night, and I'm glad that they separated the Ukrainian aid from the rest of the reckless spending that the Democrats wanted to do
00:09:03.520 that would send some aid, $14 billion of new aid for the Ukraine.
00:09:08.840 Yes, and the passage of that legislation, critically important to the Ukrainians.
00:09:15.180 And where are we now with this $1.5 trillion spending bill?
00:09:20.640 Well, I mean, this is just one incredible record level of spending after another that is still being passed by this Congress, by the Senate,
00:09:31.100 and signed by the president, will be signed by the president.
00:09:35.220 I mean, where does it stop?
00:09:37.220 There is inflation, and we're watching fiscal policy that is absolutely out of control.
00:09:42.920 Out of control.
00:09:44.280 And let me just kind of go back a little bit to even emphasize that.
00:09:47.940 When I first got elected to Congress, the deficit – I've only been in Congress for two cycles.
00:09:51.960 I'm at the end of my fourth year.
00:09:54.460 The deficit was $21 trillion.
00:09:56.280 We are now at $30 trillion in just a little over three years.
00:10:00.760 So that's $9 trillion on to the deficit with no stop in spending whatsoever.
00:10:05.220 In the last two years, this Congress, led by Democrats, have spent $11 trillion.
00:10:10.580 That was before the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan that Biden passed when he first got elected president.
00:10:17.140 That's not including the $1.2 trillion in an quote-unquote infrastructure package,
00:10:21.700 which only 6% of that actually goes to roads and bridges in which most Americans consider infrastructure.
00:10:28.220 And then now this.
00:10:29.720 It's just spending after spending after spending.
00:10:32.120 And any economist will tell you if you dump a ton of cash on an economy and you're only taking in $3.5 trillion a year into the Federal Reserve but spending two or three times that, you are going to cause inflation.
00:10:46.360 And it's just – it's reckless abandon.
00:10:49.200 And we have federal programs like Social Security and Medicare.
00:10:52.560 You have programs within those federal programs that are going to be expending more money in the next year or so than they're actually taking in.
00:11:00.700 Congress has got to stop the spending spree that is Washington, D.C., and the Democrats absolutely will not do it.
00:11:08.040 The four years I've been in Congress, all they do is these omnibus or these CRs, continuing resolutions to fund the government.
00:11:15.160 This is the first omnibus that they've done.
00:11:17.400 And it just is building and building on a spending that we cannot sustain economically in this country.
00:11:23.960 And it almost appears as though this is a coordinated, orchestrated, finely thought-out plan on the part of the Biden administration and the Democratic Party.
00:11:36.540 They're trying to drive as much cash into this economy as they can.
00:11:40.280 And the idea that Jerome Powell in his second term now is chairman of the Federal Reserve, reappointed by President Biden, will do, what, three interest rate hikes, I think is pure nonsense, at least if they're – he might do three quarter of a percent increases.
00:11:59.820 But he sure is not going to do anything approaching a half or better in the way of interest rates.
00:12:07.440 Your thoughts about what will happen and what will happen as a result of the Democrats being in such poor shape?
00:12:16.040 It looks like it's going to be an absolute slaughter in November.
00:12:19.160 Your thoughts?
00:12:19.760 Well, I certainly hope it is going to be a slaughter.
00:12:23.180 You have had crisis after crisis after crisis that it's almost – you almost have to pick one of the most offensive crises to focus the American people on how bad this administration, the Democrats are.
00:12:36.780 I mean we have two million illegal immigrants that have crossed the border, and they're getting TANF and food stamps and SNAP and all these benefits that most Americans who are working aren't getting these benefits.
00:12:47.300 You've got the atrocity that occurred in Afghanistan where you and I sitting here speaking, we still have Americans that are trapped in Afghanistan.
00:12:55.920 We abandoned $80 billion worth of military equipment, ammunition, weapons, Humvees, Apaches, Blackhawks.
00:13:05.000 Wouldn't it be nice if the Biden administration would have just transferred that $80 billion worth of military equipment to the Ukrainians instead of handing it over to a terrorist regime who's either going to sell it to the highest bidder, probably China or Russia, or use it for terrorist activity?
00:13:19.160 On top of inflation, on top of inflation, on top of now Ukraine and their failures to do the things that they should have done long before they're now suddenly starting to react.
00:13:30.380 It's almost like they're two weeks to a month behind doing what they should be doing and leading as a nation and leading as a country in this world and just kind of sitting back and waiting to see what happens.
00:13:41.860 And then when there's so much of a rigor one way or the other, like putting sanctions on Russian oil, finally when the polls are like 80% of Americans support not importing Russian oil, suddenly then they decide to do something.
00:13:55.900 And it's a month too late.
00:13:57.340 They should have started these sanctions on the Russian government and on Putin and all these other things that we could have done as soon as he started putting troops on the Ukrainian border.
00:14:05.700 And it would have had a huge, devastating effect on his economy before he even invaded.
00:14:11.120 Yeah, and this administration is just making, it's almost preposterous to even think about taking them seriously.
00:14:22.880 Here we are looking at an invasion, a war going on in Ukraine, and at the same time, we have to take them seriously.
00:14:32.360 Obviously, Biden and Harris, she's giggling her way through Poland.
00:14:37.140 He is sleeping his way through his presidency.
00:14:40.980 He spends more time in his Delaware basement than he does doing anything else as president.
00:14:46.820 We are in deep trouble as a nation because we don't have a, I would call it a leadership vacuum, but it's far worse than a vacuum.
00:14:57.120 It's an explosion of incompetence and ineptitude.
00:15:00.820 And I don't disagree with any of that.
00:15:03.160 It's very disturbing to see Kamala Harris laughing and giggling her way through a press conference with the president of Poland talking about the refugees and the Ukrainians.
00:15:15.380 And it's because the reporter before that clip, the reporter asked a very good, a very pointed question, and she clearly didn't either, one, know how to respond or even what to say.
00:15:27.000 So she just kind of laughed her way through it and then deferred to the Poland president for him to talk about it.
00:15:32.480 And it's because they don't know what their plans are.
00:15:35.640 They don't know what to do.
00:15:37.600 They don't know how to lead.
00:15:39.240 Biden's clearly not the one making the decisions.
00:15:41.480 It's other people in the administration that are making the decisions.
00:15:44.500 And they're so far behind what they should be doing.
00:15:47.680 And what's just crazy to me is we all know that if Trump was still president, none of this would be going on.
00:15:54.820 The atrocity that occurred in Afghanistan wouldn't have happened.
00:15:58.340 The Russians wouldn't be emboldened by the weak leadership that they saw in Afghanistan and knowing that they have leverage over this administration to do whatever they want to do.
00:16:06.900 And this administration is not going to do anything to stop them.
00:16:11.040 And Biden has the very same team at the top for national security in his White House as did President Obama.
00:16:19.960 They were regarded as incompetence then.
00:16:23.460 They haven't learned a thing.
00:16:25.760 As a matter of fact, they seem even more incompetent given their greater responsibilities now.
00:16:31.860 Your thoughts about the carryover of Jake Sullivan, now and as National Security Advisor Tony Blinken, now Secretary of State, and Kamala Harris and the President of the United States, woefully inadequate to their responsibilities.
00:16:51.120 Well, and that's a good point to make.
00:16:52.960 And go back to in the 90s, you had the Budapest papers that were signed between Ukraine and Russia.
00:16:59.660 In 2014, when Crimea was taken over, guess who was President and Vice President?
00:17:06.140 It was Obama-Biden.
00:17:07.760 And so Putin was already trying to see what he would be willing to get away with.
00:17:11.600 And he violated the terms of that agreement that was signed in the 90s in 2014.
00:17:16.020 And that prior administration did absolutely nothing to stop him.
00:17:19.400 And he went forward and nothing happened.
00:17:22.140 Then Trump came in and he didn't do a thing because Trump put sanctions on Russia.
00:17:26.240 Trump put sanctions on the Nord Stream 2 pipeline to shore up so that he wouldn't have financial resources to do the things that he's doing.
00:17:33.140 And one of the first things that Biden does when he comes in is lift the sanction on Nord Stream 2, open up billion dollars of revenue to Kremlin and to Moscow, and then sit back and wonder why the behavior is the way it is.
00:17:45.140 It's because they should have sanctioned him back in 2014 when he was vice president and they violated the Budapest papers, but they didn't.
00:17:53.640 And so Putin knew that he could get away with whatever because they're not going to hold to the terms of the agreement that they had back in 2014.
00:17:59.760 And so you have emboldened what is happening right now.
00:18:03.720 And you have a very tricky situation from a NATO ally or a Western country situation because you don't want to send in American troops.
00:18:12.260 You don't want to send in American pilots with our equipment because you're engaging now on nuclear power and you're going to start World War III.
00:18:19.800 But I absolutely think we should have done all these sanctions on the front end and a hard stance and strong leadership from the White House would have prevented all of this from happening.
00:18:28.740 But now that we sit here, we have to provide what we can provide from a weapons and javelins and air defense artillery and all these things to help the Ukrainian people be able to defend themselves.
00:18:40.320 And what does all of this say as Xi Jinping watches?
00:18:46.360 What does it say to communist China and their ambitions to take over Taiwan?
00:18:52.680 It emboldens them.
00:18:54.400 They're seeing the weakness in the White House.
00:18:56.320 They're seeing that the whole the entire Western world and all the NATO allies are sitting by and letting the Russian army invade Ukraine, kill civilians, bomb places.
00:19:07.360 And so what where does that stop?
00:19:09.580 I guess I guess NATO in the Western world is perfectly fine.
00:19:12.720 Them taking over the Ukraine and and the Chinese Communist Party is watching every bit of this and knowing, OK, well, we can also act in Taiwan.
00:19:21.760 And although the United States agreements there are different than they are with the Ukraine, clearly we're showing weak leadership and an unwillingness to engage and protect our allies, which Taiwan is one of those.
00:19:34.600 So I can't help but think that the Chinese Communist Party is thinking through their war game scenario on how and when they they intend to go into Taiwan, knowing that, one, this administration is not going to do anything to stop them.
00:19:48.080 And two, if you have war in Europe, you have the Iranians wanting a nuclear warhead and this administration is willing to put them on a path to to go back into the JCPOA.
00:19:58.220 There have all these other things happening in the world and you're not focused on the Pacific.
00:20:02.960 And it's it's a ripe opportunity for them to do something.
00:20:06.520 And as we conclude, you mentioned the Iranian deal that is apparently a matter of days, perhaps a week or two away from being pulled together by this administration.
00:20:20.460 We are depending on the UK to to to stop it of all of the crazy things, that being Republicans, everyone who is opposed to this, the White House adamant that it will be done.
00:20:36.040 Your thoughts?
00:20:37.460 Well, it's horrible for the safety and security of the American people, and it is horrible for the safety and security of our strongest ally in the Middle East, Israel.
00:20:44.860 We have no business going back into that agreement.
00:20:47.120 I applaud President Trump and Pompeo for getting out of it when they were in the leadership of the White House.
00:20:53.340 And look at how it affected the Iranian economy.
00:20:55.840 Look how putting sanctions on them affected them.
00:20:58.400 And now you have an administration begging the Iranians to send us oil, the Venezuelans to send us oil.
00:21:07.060 So I'm sure they do want to get into the JCPOA and lift sanctions in exchange for oil to be coming coming into our country.
00:21:13.880 And it's it's it's it's really a sad state for our country when we are begging Venezuela and the Maduro regime and the Iranians to pump more oil and send us more oil.
00:21:25.600 Because we're not willing to take the decisions and be energy independent like we were under Trump right here in the United States.
00:21:32.860 We could do it all right here.
00:21:34.120 But because this administration is guided in decisions based on progressive Green New Deal ideology, they're absolutely not going to open up the domestic production of oil and save every American at the pump and at the grocery store.
00:21:48.660 And they could do that right now today.
00:21:50.460 Biden could do that in the White House.
00:21:53.060 Absolutely.
00:21:54.140 And with that, Congressman, thanks for being with us here today.
00:21:57.420 We appreciate it.
00:21:58.920 Great to talk with you and come back soon.
00:22:01.640 Yes, sir.
00:22:01.980 Thanks for having me.
00:22:03.180 Congressman Greg Stubbe.
00:22:04.600 Thank you for being with us.
00:22:06.300 We want to invite you to sign up for our Great America show advisory and newsletter.
00:22:11.640 Simply go to LewDobbs.com, that's LewDobbs.com, and click on the email newsletter button.
00:22:19.640 It's as simple as that.
00:22:21.440 And we'll send you our advisories and alerts as well as our weekly newsletter.
00:22:26.080 I don't want to overstate anything, but I'm pretty sure you will absolutely sense at least a small positive change in your world outlook.
00:22:34.880 We invite you to join us and stay in touch.
00:22:37.940 While President Biden got a brief boost in his poll numbers in the latest Wall Street Journal poll, he's sagging back to pre-war levels.
00:22:47.000 And there's strong opposition to any thought of sending our troops to Ukraine or even to Europe.
00:22:53.420 Meanwhile, Ukraine is fighting fiercely against the invading Russians who have taken heavy losses from the defenders.
00:23:00.320 The Ukraine military says they've killed three Russian generals now, killed some 12,000 Russian soldiers, destroyed 800 vehicles and tanks, more than 100 artillery units, and 80-plus Russian helicopters.
00:23:15.720 Those, again, are Ukrainian estimates.
00:23:19.200 And even if close, those casualties amount almost to the same level of Russian losses in nine years of combat in Afghanistan.
00:23:28.400 So we'll see.
00:23:29.160 I'd like to bring in now our good friend, legendary radio broadcaster, talk show host, Mr. New York himself, Mark Simone.
00:23:37.220 Great to have you here, Mark.
00:23:38.560 The Russian death toll, those lost tanks and artillery, if accurate, or even close, as I said, would likely mean Russia may lose some more generals.
00:23:47.880 Not good.
00:23:49.380 Putin reportedly is very unhappy.
00:23:52.120 Oh, well, you know, it wasn't just Donald Trump.
00:23:57.100 By Washington Post, Newsweek, you see these old headlines where they talked about him being brilliant, a genius.
00:24:01.160 We always thought that.
00:24:02.340 But apparently it was just a myth.
00:24:04.260 We always feared this Russian army, strongest, toughest, but apparently it was all a myth.
00:24:09.660 It was just awful.
00:24:10.780 This army doesn't, they don't have night vision.
00:24:12.860 Their bombs don't have precision bombing.
00:24:16.120 They can't hit anything.
00:24:17.540 You know, I remember the Gulf War.
00:24:19.780 The Schwarzkopf would get there and show us how they want to hit a building.
00:24:23.260 The bomb would go right through the window in the middle of the building.
00:24:26.400 The Russian army, they got a massive municipal building.
00:24:29.700 They're lucky if they just clipped the corner of the building.
00:24:31.880 This was all a myth.
00:24:33.860 And I don't know where this ends for Putin.
00:24:36.260 It's embarrassing for him.
00:24:37.300 Yeah, well, one thing he doesn't have to worry about is the next election.
00:24:41.220 He's got that pretty well wrapped up, no matter how many countries he invades or how poorly his military does.
00:24:48.520 You know, you were mentioning Iraq.
00:24:51.660 I covered, along with a lot of other people, the Persian Gulf War and saw the Russian T-72 tanks, the Czech version as well, in the Iraqi army.
00:25:05.080 And they were torn to pieces.
00:25:07.240 I mean, the Abrams M1, A1, flying through there, blowing those tanks up like they were cardboard.
00:25:16.760 The army of Russia and the Soviet Union were in desperate straits in the final years.
00:25:24.060 But his army was supposed to have been, Mark, completely revitalized, new equipment, new generations of weaponry and firepower.
00:25:32.940 It doesn't appear, unless he is just withholding it.
00:25:37.080 And that is a possibility.
00:25:39.740 This, you know, this is really a significant setback for Putin and for Russia geopolitically, isn't it?
00:25:47.740 I thought that for the first week, that it was some kind of trick.
00:25:51.280 You know, like the old boxers acted like they didn't have a left-hand punch until the end.
00:25:54.880 But it's 20 days.
00:25:57.620 I don't think this is a trick.
00:25:58.640 I think they really don't have night vision.
00:26:00.300 I think they really can't aim these bombs very well.
00:26:02.580 And apparently, his supply chain that we're figuring on four or five days, they're out of gas, they're out of this, they're out.
00:26:08.960 And the tires on that convoy keep blowing out.
00:26:11.920 And people have said that corruption in Russia has caused the production of everything their defense department buys to be just shoddy and not made right.
00:26:20.560 And we never thought we'd see this.
00:26:23.080 And, you know, everybody's so afraid of China.
00:26:24.860 Now I'm starting to wonder about China.
00:26:26.260 How tough do you think that is?
00:26:29.040 Well, I have to say, I'm not a fellow who would hesitate to call them out for all that they have done to this world of ours, the Chinese, irrespective of their so-called advanced military.
00:26:44.600 They don't have enough carriers.
00:26:46.980 They don't have enough aircraft.
00:26:48.300 They don't have enough advanced weaponry to contend with the United States.
00:26:54.220 And we should really, as Americans, understand that.
00:26:58.600 That said, nobody wants to go to war.
00:27:01.020 Nobody, last of all me, wants to go to war.
00:27:03.800 But I'm really very tired of the expansionary, ambitious, geopolitical hegemony that they want to establish.
00:27:16.020 I just, I really think we just have to say enough.
00:27:19.180 But I'd like us to, you know what I'd like us to do, though, on that, when we send that message?
00:27:22.960 I'd like to wait until the next administration.
00:27:27.700 You know, what was it, Rumsfeld used to say, you go to war with the army you've got, not the one you necessarily want.
00:27:34.260 And he was saying that about a great army at the time.
00:27:37.560 But it also applies to commanders-in-chief.
00:27:41.600 Going to war with this commander-in-chief is not my idea of a great exercise in judgment.
00:27:46.600 What do you think?
00:27:47.160 I think there's nobody that loves Joe Biden more than Jimmy Carter.
00:27:51.820 Jimmy Carter can now rest.
00:27:53.680 He'll never be called the worst president ever again.
00:27:56.840 He is so grateful to Joe Biden for taking the title away.
00:28:01.260 It is the worst thing I've ever, I've never seen a, you know, Jimmy Carter, you know, he's doing things.
00:28:07.280 They may not have worked, but at least he's doing something.
00:28:09.420 And you look around his cabinet, you saw some pretty heavy names there.
00:28:12.980 This, Biden is not only feeble and bumping into walls.
00:28:16.180 He's got a cabinet of just total incompetence.
00:28:19.780 But Buttigieg knows nothing.
00:28:21.180 General Granholm knows nothing.
00:28:23.360 Then he sends Kamala Harris to Poland.
00:28:26.060 She's great if you love giggling and staring.
00:28:28.740 But could you believe, Mark, that performance that she put on with President Duda of Poland standing there?
00:28:38.960 I mean, he bailed her out as she is having a giggle fit, trying to figure out why she was there.
00:28:46.560 Quite literally.
00:28:47.460 Why was she there?
00:28:48.300 She kept trying to explain it between giggles.
00:28:51.140 And there wasn't a good reason for her to be there, apparently.
00:28:54.820 Yeah, but I can't figure this out.
00:28:56.160 I don't know if they won't send Joe Biden because he can't.
00:28:58.860 He's just too weak to do this.
00:29:00.260 Or if they're trying to get ready to push her out the door and they want to really humiliate her a couple of times.
00:29:05.720 And there's all these rumors about her going to happy hour a lot and drinking a little too much.
00:29:11.460 When I see that giggling, I start to believe these rumors.
00:29:13.860 I mean, in the middle of a war, you're giggling.
00:29:18.400 Yeah.
00:29:18.620 They're trying to build up her gravitas and her standing as an international statesman.
00:29:25.220 But they can't do a lot of, you know, in between the interstitials, between giggles.
00:29:30.400 She just goes on and on.
00:29:32.860 And she's the only one in the room having a good time.
00:29:36.920 Yeah, you know, I don't know what they think over there.
00:29:40.400 This poor Zelensky, you know, he's asking for jets.
00:29:42.580 He needs jets.
00:29:43.280 He gets Kamala Harris over there.
00:29:44.640 This is all he's got.
00:29:46.480 And this guy has been such a hero.
00:29:50.100 Churchill in a T-shirt.
00:29:51.440 He's just unbelievable.
00:29:53.220 And at the point now, I don't think, I think Putin had better be careful not to kill him.
00:29:57.940 The public relations nightmare of that would just destroy his reputation forever if it's not already destroyed.
00:30:03.400 Yeah, the man who, well, we can say this already.
00:30:07.440 Vladimir Putin, the man who tried to kill Volodymyr Zelensky.
00:30:15.900 Three times they've sent out assassination crews.
00:30:19.880 And three times they took him down and protected the president.
00:30:23.440 I mean, that's quite a record on the part of the Ukrainians.
00:30:26.960 Yeah, and this is not helping Biden either for Americans to watch this great leader with this heroism, with this skill.
00:30:33.440 The guy fighting off the Russian army with one hand.
00:30:35.680 He's stopping hit squads, coming to get him with another hand.
00:30:38.800 And he's 40 years old, just been on the job a few months.
00:30:41.540 And we've got 47 years of experience Joe Biden who doesn't know where he is and can't do a thing.
00:30:47.120 Yeah, well, one thing, he did show courage.
00:30:48.900 He did himself go to, admittedly, to the border there.
00:30:53.960 He didn't go to Poland.
00:30:55.440 He's not in Warsaw.
00:30:56.400 But he did send Kamala Harris.
00:30:58.900 And you've got to have some courage to even think about sending her anywhere for any reason.
00:31:04.020 He sent her to the last place.
00:31:05.340 Remember, he sent her to was the border.
00:31:07.920 She didn't make it to the border.
00:31:09.900 This time she made it.
00:31:10.940 I think everybody's pretty upset about the fact that she actually got there.
00:31:14.060 I don't think anybody would.
00:31:15.720 I wouldn't trust her to put a quarter in a parking meter.
00:31:17.840 I mean, she's not capable of anything.
00:31:21.580 And as a whole cabinet, the only reason she's still there is, who would you replace her with?
00:31:26.280 Buttigieg?
00:31:26.960 Another useless guy.
00:31:30.720 Blinken and Jake Sullivan.
00:31:32.560 Just useless.
00:31:33.200 Can you imagine that team of intellectual giants?
00:31:38.540 Tony Blinken and Secretary of State.
00:31:40.540 Jake Sullivan, National Security Advisor.
00:31:42.720 Kamala Harris, Vice President of the United States.
00:31:45.600 And the topper, Joe Biden, President of the United States.
00:31:50.980 Yeah.
00:31:51.320 And if you were Putin and watching this, watching Blinken and all this crew, I mean, I'd say it, but I can't obviously can understand why he took this moment.
00:31:59.920 Obviously, you're never going to get a circumstance like this again, where he, in his mind, it's so easy to invade.
00:32:06.500 They'll be totally useless.
00:32:08.720 They won't know what to do.
00:32:09.580 Yeah, it's frightening in very real terms to think what Vladimir Putin is doing in Ukraine.
00:32:17.200 But to see the sophomoric nonsense that is emanating from the White House.
00:32:25.500 It's truly deeply disturbing, especially when you compound that with a poll that tells us the difference between Democrats and Republicans, at least another difference.
00:32:36.940 And the Quinnipiac poll revealing that if Russia were to invade the United States, they'd only have to go after the Republicans, because the Democrats in that poll say that they would cut and run.
00:32:49.600 It's a huge number.
00:32:51.000 I think it's like something like 70 percent of them say they'd run like hell.
00:32:54.820 What do you think?
00:32:55.700 I think if Russia took over the United States, at least we'd be less woke, less PC.
00:33:00.740 We'd do a better job on crime.
00:33:03.300 It might improve things a little.
00:33:06.700 But it is one way to, I think, on Election Day, I mean, the Republicans have been handed the perfect ploy, a perfect gambit.
00:33:15.760 They can just put out these phony announcements, taking a page from their Democratic opposition, and just announce that Russians have, in fact, invaded the United States, and they'll run like hell, won't get to vote.
00:33:29.940 I mean, there's a certain deal.
00:33:32.720 I see.
00:33:33.120 I'm starting to pick up on this Democrat thing.
00:33:35.960 Aren't you proud of me?
00:33:37.240 Yeah.
00:33:37.640 I don't know what they're thinking with crime out of control, with the gas prices.
00:33:42.300 You know, this is like a $400, $450 a month tax on the middle class.
00:33:47.360 It's unreal.
00:33:48.260 You know, and they were so proud of Joe Biden, get a little bump from the State of the Union, a little bump up in the polls.
00:33:52.880 Yeah, until the next day, whenever he went to the gas pump, end of the bump.
00:33:56.000 That was it.
00:33:58.100 Yeah, my producer just handed me a huge correction I have to make.
00:34:02.460 I said it was a very high percentage of the Dems that would cut and run.
00:34:06.200 Only 40 percent of them would cut and run.
00:34:08.420 Yeah.
00:34:08.780 But 68 percent of Republicans would not cut and run.
00:34:13.780 So that's a very, very reassuring poll when I think about it.
00:34:18.620 Yeah.
00:34:19.240 The most frightening thing of the week, though, was this news story and the media collusion with the Democrats.
00:34:25.440 They're not publicizing this much.
00:34:26.900 But Joe Biden decides to call the leader of Saudi Arabia, the UAE leader.
00:34:31.160 Oh, yeah.
00:34:31.740 And both refused to take his call.
00:34:33.400 That should have been the biggest news story of the week.
00:34:35.440 That is a once in a lifetime event in my lifetime.
00:34:39.700 I have never heard of it may have happened, but those administrations would have been smart enough never to let anybody know it.
00:34:46.940 I have never heard of a report of a president making a phone call that a foreign leader would not would not take the call.
00:34:55.400 I mean, that's outrageous.
00:34:57.040 The Saudis, the United Arab Emirates just not taking his call.
00:35:04.480 It's have you ever heard of such a thing?
00:35:06.860 It's it's the greatest sign right that right there.
00:35:10.700 And again, it should have been front pages.
00:35:12.180 The greatest sign of his total weakness on the world stage.
00:35:14.740 And when he ran half, that campaign was his gravitas in the world, how he knows the world leaders.
00:35:20.660 He's worked with them and no one knows them better than him.
00:35:23.240 They won't even take his phone call.
00:35:25.280 Yeah.
00:35:26.040 And and for all of this nonsense about, you know, it's only the Republicans who think that the Democrats are the party of evildoers and and asinine policymakers.
00:35:39.480 It's clear that other countries, I mean, the same thing is happening with NATO.
00:35:45.040 They're not interested in hearing from this guy.
00:35:47.560 They they simply wanted the sanctions and the money for NATO, but they're not interested in anything else.
00:35:54.400 And there's not a leader amongst them, really not a proven leader.
00:35:59.280 So he should be very comfortable with them.
00:36:02.000 But they're but they reject him outright.
00:36:05.120 Yeah.
00:36:05.320 And if Donald Trump were president, people said, well, what would he do?
00:36:07.880 One thing you do is he'd be on television every day denouncing Putin.
00:36:11.880 He'd look into the camera and talk right to Putin.
00:36:14.580 What are you doing to your reputation?
00:36:16.000 You look like a madman, a maniac, a baby.
00:36:18.420 He would never stop.
00:36:19.740 And that works on on even the most ruthless dictator.
00:36:23.500 But Biden to remain silent the whole time to go to Delaware on vacation in the middle of a war.
00:36:28.700 You know, he was in his basement in Delaware.
00:36:30.160 He's underground more than Zelensky is.
00:36:32.540 This is ridiculous.
00:36:33.740 It's true.
00:36:34.540 It is absolutely true.
00:36:36.020 But in his own way, I think he is he does have a lot of incoming.
00:36:40.780 It's verbal.
00:36:41.460 It's, you know, some pretty vicious attacks.
00:36:45.780 Thankfully, neither you nor I would would think of considering a criticism of the good president.
00:36:53.780 Talking about Trump, you do know what he would do, as you say, because we've got a record.
00:36:58.720 No one, no one went to war against the United States.
00:37:03.060 No one fired a missile from North Korea.
00:37:05.640 No one was test firing their weapons, whether it's Russia or China, as they've been doing for 12 long months of the Biden presidency.
00:37:16.220 It's got to be more than that.
00:37:17.720 It just seems like more than that.
00:37:19.740 Maybe two years worth, at least, of the Biden presidency.
00:37:23.600 Yeah, I was watching Chuck Todd, and he actually looked in the camera and said, well, this talk of it wouldn't have happened under Donald Trump.
00:37:29.340 We don't know that.
00:37:30.080 There's no way to know that.
00:37:31.280 Yeah, there is.
00:37:31.780 We tried it.
00:37:32.300 We tested it for four years.
00:37:33.520 Yeah, we've got a four.
00:37:35.060 He has a four-year record, Chuck.
00:37:37.540 And by the way, that's despite you being a craven little phony journalist the whole time.
00:37:44.620 What a joke Chuck Todd is, my Lord.
00:37:49.960 Speaking of jokes, this Michael Sussman, the John Durham special counsel comes after him, and he wants all of the charges and statements about him removed
00:38:02.660 because he was just exercising his freedom of speech rights, and even though he did lie to the FBI, these were not materialized.
00:38:14.580 They were just the foundation for Hurricane Crossfire.
00:38:17.460 They were just the foundation for what became the special counsel that attempted to overthrow the president of the United States.
00:38:25.220 Can you believe this guy?
00:38:26.900 Well, yeah.
00:38:27.360 And listen, I'm all for John Durham and the great work he's doing, but you're going to have to be Rip Van Winkle to see this report.
00:38:32.660 I don't ever finish.
00:38:35.560 It is moving a little.
00:38:37.240 I will give you that part.
00:38:38.860 It's moving just a little slowly.
00:38:41.860 Let's see.
00:38:42.420 We're at President 46, 47, 48.
00:38:47.800 We can be well into the 50s.
00:38:50.160 I mean, this is like watching them pave a road.
00:38:51.980 You come back a year later, they're still paving.
00:38:53.820 This is how the government works.
00:38:56.160 Well, it is.
00:38:57.240 And now we're finding out so many things about the election in Michigan, in Arizona, in Wisconsin, in Georgia, Pennsylvania.
00:39:09.020 All that people were saying, not all, but nearly all of what they were saying in the immediate aftermath of the November 3rd election in 2020.
00:39:18.540 Well, guess what?
00:39:20.720 After we sift through the ashes for 14 months, we now know that, you know, there was a lot to those anomalies, irregularities, and illegalities that we were watching on television.
00:39:33.800 Yeah, you know, but also the more frightening thing is the George Soros type money that comes in and the Mark Zuckerberg half a billion.
00:39:42.780 And, you know, it's legal.
00:39:44.460 It's stealing an election in a legal way.
00:39:46.500 But Republicans either have to do something about that or get their own version of that going, because unless they counter that, I don't know how they how they win elections anymore.
00:39:54.720 Yeah, well, if they don't count it, and if Zuckerberg is not held accountable for what he did, and by the way, those those drop boxes, the little little, you know, I don't know how anybody could figure that was a good idea.
00:40:12.080 But they, they, it was it was Michigan, it was in Georgia, other states as well.
00:40:20.320 I mean, it's just an invitation to voter fraud.
00:40:23.600 And that's exactly what happened in many of those, many of those states.
00:40:29.840 Speaking of George Soros, and often we do here on the Great America Show, we find out that the CPAC, the Conservative Political Action Committee,
00:40:39.320 the American Conservative Union, took money from a subsidiary of the George Soros Network to what, almost $200,000.
00:40:50.080 Did you hear about that?
00:40:51.540 Yeah, but there's so many George Soros subsidiaries, you know, Tony Soprano didn't use as many buffers to disguise himself from these things.
00:41:01.160 But CPAC should have known better.
00:41:02.800 That's one organization that should have known.
00:41:04.420 Yeah, and then a lot of blowback, because people are a little upset about a conservative organization that doesn't mention abortion, family, family support.
00:41:16.940 I mean, you go through the list.
00:41:18.500 It's really remarkable.
00:41:19.920 They're under great fire.
00:41:22.620 And the not taking a position on the transgender swimmer up in Pennsylvania or down in Pennsylvania.
00:41:32.200 Yeah, you know, personally, I don't care one way or the other.
00:41:35.400 If people think it's a great idea to have men racing against women, I mean, I can't, those are folks I can't argue with.
00:41:44.260 It just, to me, on its face, doesn't make any sense.
00:41:47.680 Your thoughts?
00:41:49.800 As far as CPAC, you know, they've become a convention.
00:41:53.820 That's all it is.
00:41:54.360 It's a convention.
00:41:55.220 It's a travel organization.
00:41:56.820 Money is flowing in for the conference, the convention.
00:41:59.240 There's an old saying in Washington, it's the most important saying, whatever starts as a movement always turns into a business and eventually becomes a racket.
00:42:09.100 That applies everywhere.
00:42:10.760 I love it.
00:42:12.160 I love it.
00:42:13.200 So, what do you think about this, I don't know what you would call it, kerfuffle, contentious discussion over transgender men to women sports?
00:42:32.080 It seems to me on its face to be unfair to women.
00:42:36.280 Your thoughts?
00:42:37.200 I just, to me, it's got to be a cycle.
00:42:41.680 And I just think normal voters are going to wake up one day and just say, let's go back to everybody who's in their own bathroom, everybody play their own sports.
00:42:48.980 Everything was working fine for years.
00:42:53.300 I mean, it's got to stop at some point.
00:42:55.680 You just can't keep jumbling and throwing everything into a blender and just mixing it up so there's no identity left anymore at all.
00:43:02.240 And it's ruining sports.
00:43:04.220 Yeah, and I think it's just terribly unfair to women because men, no matter how much women want to argue about parity and equality, men are just genetically stronger, more powerful.
00:43:16.640 And, you know, it just doesn't make sense to me to put them, you know, after Title IX is put in place for women to have sports and equal facilities.
00:43:28.340 And, you know, that's a great thing.
00:43:30.260 And then to get involved with this issue is just, to me, disappointing.
00:43:37.820 And, by the way, I think it's a very selfish thing on the part of these transgender participants.
00:43:42.940 Let them do what they wish, but make a decision about what the impact of what they're doing is.
00:43:49.740 Are they being fair to those women?
00:43:51.680 I think they have a responsibility to ask that question themselves.
00:43:55.020 You don't need regulations.
00:43:56.560 You don't need law.
00:43:57.880 You just need people who are as concerned about others' rights and fairness as you are your own.
00:44:06.560 And I would love to see that result.
00:44:10.720 Anxiety spiking.
00:44:11.800 Can you imagine this?
00:44:13.360 In Joe Biden's America, according to Breitbart, high levels of stress due to rising prices.
00:44:19.660 Well, I have to believe there's a lot of stress because these are the highest prices in 40 years, for crying out loud.
00:44:26.840 Well, I was in a gas station the other day, and I hear a guy, he starts screaming from four pumps away.
00:44:32.040 And he said, I don't know what he's yelling when he goes, $94!
00:44:35.480 Wow.
00:44:36.320 $94.
00:44:36.840 You know, they don't realize what this does to people.
00:44:42.400 I'm sure you heard about Stephen Colbert with his tone-deaf remarks.
00:44:46.060 Oh, my Lord.
00:44:47.060 I'm happy to pay an extra $2 a gallon.
00:44:49.140 It gives me a clear conscience.
00:44:50.620 Well, this is a war on the middle class.
00:44:53.020 This is literally $400 or $500 a month and an extra tax on people that can't afford this.
00:44:57.980 And nothing causes stress more than a budget problem like that.
00:45:01.720 And it's going higher.
00:45:03.240 You know what I've always thought about?
00:45:06.040 John Stewart, I think, is one of the smartest, ableist comedians around.
00:45:09.720 Just a great guy.
00:45:12.100 Well, he's a little nasty to me, but that's all right because we have different views.
00:45:16.520 But he's a terrific guy, smart guy.
00:45:19.720 Colbert?
00:45:20.080 Colbert is a smart guy as long as he's got 14 writers working for him.
00:45:25.180 It's quite a difference.
00:45:27.060 What a silly remark for him to make.
00:45:29.460 I love this.
00:45:30.380 Go ahead.
00:45:31.040 He also said, I watched him speak out about income inequality.
00:45:34.740 Nobody spoke out more about income inequality.
00:45:37.200 Let me point out, he gets $20 million a year.
00:45:39.700 Everybody in the crew gets $1.50.
00:45:42.260 The writers get nothing.
00:45:44.080 This guy is the biggest phony ever.
00:45:46.640 When you see people on TV, entertainers, whatever it may be, even newscasters, if the truth be known, talking about money, they're damn fools.
00:45:59.520 It's just really, particularly if they're talking about their own damn money.
00:46:03.600 And this idea that, speaking of tone deaf, and on the same subject, Kamala Harris, well, she's just fine with that ban on Russian crude because that'll make everybody drive an electric car.
00:46:19.060 I mean, she really doesn't understand that there aren't enough electric cars right now for the people who have bought them, let alone the people who want to buy them, let alone the people who want to buy them but can't afford them.
00:46:29.980 They're the complete, and I'm using her as an avatar for the entire political class of the left.
00:46:39.520 They are so damn dumb, don't you think?
00:46:43.720 They're just, they're not, no contact with reality.
00:46:47.160 You know, everybody will go to an electric car.
00:46:49.020 We all want an electric car.
00:46:50.260 When it's ready, when the infrastructure is there, when you can charge it in two minutes, and that'll be in 10 years.
00:46:55.660 You know, in the beginning, nobody wanted a cell phone because you couldn't hear.
00:46:59.480 It was too big.
00:47:00.260 It was, we stuck to our landlines.
00:47:01.880 We wanted our landlines.
00:47:02.980 But once the cell phone was perfected, once it was phenomenal, we all switched over.
00:47:07.620 So it's the same thing with electric cars.
00:47:09.280 Wait till they're perfected.
00:47:10.660 Wait till you got the iPhone 13 of cars, and we'll all switch in a second.
00:47:15.260 You know, I shouldn't even bring this up because I prefer to be regarded as intelligent.
00:47:21.620 But the fact of the matter is, when I was in Tokyo in the 80s, I saw everybody over there with a cell phone.
00:47:30.060 And I was one of the geniuses.
00:47:32.200 I had some good company, too.
00:47:33.820 But I was one of the geniuses who said, boy, this will never catch on in America.
00:47:38.020 Who wants to bother with all of that?
00:47:40.160 Walking across the street with a cell phone?
00:47:42.380 No way.
00:47:44.120 I could have made a fortune, I tell you.
00:47:46.440 But you were right back then, and it wasn't perfect.
00:47:48.700 Steve Jobs never said, let's drive the cost of landlines way up, and that'll force people over.
00:47:53.500 Instead, he said, let's perfect this thing so everybody wants one.
00:47:56.800 And that's the key to electric cars.
00:47:58.980 Yeah, absolutely.
00:48:00.060 And this autonomous car is just a little ahead of itself.
00:48:03.460 That is truly jumping the shark in innovation to say we want autonomous cars.
00:48:09.840 Let's get to the electric car first, and then we can start thinking.
00:48:13.200 The autonomous cars, it can park itself if you've got 25 minutes.
00:48:17.460 It takes forever to park itself.
00:48:20.220 Can you imagine that when they get those things speeded up, the six-second parallel parking job?
00:48:26.180 Let's just push the button and clear the curb.
00:48:30.180 Oh, man.
00:48:31.220 So you're not excited about John Durham and what he is proving about whether it is simply a historical record
00:48:38.960 and laid accountability for the evildoers.
00:48:42.040 I'm excited about it because Sussman obviously was part of the foundation of this whole fraud that was perpetrated into this very day.
00:48:53.520 Results in the persecution of Donald Trump and his entire family.
00:48:58.740 Yeah, listen, Donald, Durham is doing great work.
00:49:01.880 He's thorough.
00:49:03.080 He's excellent.
00:49:05.240 Every time I talk about how long it takes, they tell me, well, Ken Starr, that was four years, five years,
00:49:09.620 and it's always four years.
00:49:11.420 But the only thing he's gotten is his advantage.
00:49:14.580 Obviously, the media will not cover this much because this doesn't look good, this stuff.
00:49:18.740 So they keep the spotlight off him.
00:49:21.660 But I think that helps to him.
00:49:22.800 I think that's going to make it easier for him.
00:49:25.240 Yeah, I do too.
00:49:25.980 And where do you think we go from here?
00:49:32.020 With the ban on oil, the Biden administration has been proved to be just reckless and really, really impaired.
00:49:44.760 For three months, they knew about the prospect of the invasion.
00:49:47.780 We're even talking with the Chinese about how to stop it, not thinking all the while that our intelligence
00:49:52.780 that we were turning over to the Chinese would also be passed on to the Russians by their strategic partner,
00:50:00.980 Mr. Xi Jinping.
00:50:02.980 Your thoughts?
00:50:04.500 It's all up to November.
00:50:06.980 We're expecting the Republicans, of course, they have a way of screwing up anything,
00:50:10.740 but we expect them to take the House and the Senate.
00:50:12.820 But it could be the biggest landslide we've ever seen.
00:50:15.880 I just think common sense Americans will show up like never before.
00:50:20.340 You know, in New York, we've got this crazy district attorney, no bail, no jail.
00:50:23.920 Nobody goes, this is going on all over the place, this crime wave, the price at the pump, the inflation.
00:50:29.600 We've never had, I mean, again, Jimmy Carter looks like a genius compared to this crew.
00:50:34.340 So I just think in November, they get wiped out.
00:50:37.080 And I don't know, are they smart enough to switch direction?
00:50:42.080 I hope so.
00:50:43.540 I hope so.
00:50:44.540 Yeah.
00:50:44.840 I hope not.
00:50:46.000 I hope that they walk right into that buzzsaw in November.
00:50:51.940 And I hope that we do not see Nancy Pelosi ever again hold a gavel.
00:50:57.640 Chuck Schumer will forever be without a cheap sports coat.
00:51:02.740 Uh, and, uh, and frankly, uh, we'd watch, uh, good old Adam Schiff, uh, you know, just sit in the corner, sucking his thumb, uh, fearful of the next moment of, uh, of investigation, uh, from the Republican led justice department.
00:51:20.860 Doesn't that have a ring to it?
00:51:21.980 The Republican led justice department.
00:51:23.800 It's a Democrat led justice department.
00:51:26.240 But if you say Republican, you think, oh, well, that's not right.
00:51:28.780 We shouldn't be partisan about it.
00:51:31.100 What do you think?
00:51:32.340 Well, Republican, uh, taking over everything.
00:51:35.440 They'll take over the January 6th commission.
00:51:36.920 They can do some real investigating.
00:51:38.600 Donald Trump told you three times have 10,000 troops who exactly didn't do that.
00:51:43.800 Why is that cop waving people in that cop at the opened up the fence there, all that kind of stuff.
00:51:49.260 Who shot Ashley Babbitt and why, what was the reason?
00:51:51.920 Yeah.
00:51:52.340 You know, you know, who's done a really great job on this is Julie Kelly, uh, the author of the book, January 6th.
00:51:58.440 She's been on our show a couple of times.
00:52:01.120 Uh, she is just, uh, I mean, she is asking all the right questions.
00:52:05.320 For example, no one still knows where vice president Kamala Harris was, uh, uh, that day.
00:52:12.460 Uh, she was supposed to be in the Capitol building, but nobody seems to be able to prove it.
00:52:16.780 And the secret service won't give us her whereabouts.
00:52:19.720 And by the way, vice president, Mike Pence, where was he?
00:52:23.280 It turns out they don't want to let anybody know that either.
00:52:26.500 Uh, and the list goes on.
00:52:29.780 Ray Epps, the people who, one of the people who apparently was playing a third grade hall monitor to get people shuffled into, uh, the Capitol building.
00:52:39.260 And the questions go on and on and ask of the FBI, how many of their people were there that day?
00:52:45.280 And how many of them committed a crime while they were there?
00:52:48.020 And the representatives of the FBI say to Congress and upon their congressional inquiry, uh, we can't tell you because we've got to protect our sources and methods.
00:52:56.880 Well, if they're protecting sources and methods, it's pretty clear they were there and pretty good force.
00:53:03.540 And if they take over the January 6th commission, all these lies about they tried to hang, hang Mike Pence.
00:53:08.520 Nobody was trying to hang Mike Pence at every protest.
00:53:11.740 Uh, in fact, the summer before they always had one of those dummies in a noose and a sign that said, hang Donald Trump.
00:53:17.580 There were millions of those.
00:53:19.000 Nobody took that seriously.
00:53:20.360 Uh, and they even major newscasters say the insurrection.
00:53:24.480 Nobody's been charged with insurrection or 1200 charges filed here.
00:53:28.360 Nobody's charged with, there isn't an insurrection.
00:53:30.420 If no one's charged with it.
00:53:31.840 One of my favorite charges against these people, a favorite in the sense that it is farcical, uh, it is demonic, uh, and it is outrageous on the part of the Democrats and the justice system, the justice department, the FBI and the court system.
00:53:47.180 This, uh, this, uh, this violation of law that they're bringing against some of the protesters and demonstrators and people who entered the building that is parading on, on government property.
00:54:01.160 Are you kidding me?
00:54:03.500 I compare that to the, to the four months of summer riots and mayhem brought by Antifa and, uh, black lives matter.
00:54:12.840 Uh, I mean, the comparison, uh, Kelly and her reporting points out three more, three times as many people are being charged and prosecuted, uh, for that four hours of demonstration.
00:54:26.000 And yes, some people did riot, but four times, uh, four months worth of the, of arson and viciousness and shootings and whatever, you know, four times the number, excuse me, three times.
00:54:40.400 The numbers in the, uh, arrested in those three months.
00:54:43.400 Uh, it's just ridiculous.
00:54:45.120 You know, also, I went back and looked at this video during the Kavanaugh hearings, protesters got into the chamber, started screaming.
00:54:51.340 They stopped the proceedings.
00:54:52.760 The proceedings had to be stopped until they got these people out of there, but it was the same thing.
00:54:56.580 They stopped the government proceeding in the Capitol from happening.
00:54:59.620 Took a while to resume it.
00:55:01.000 Nobody was even given a ticket.
00:55:03.040 Oh, these were the, this were the, uh, operation pink protesters.
00:55:06.560 I believe in the, uh, uh, in the Kavanaugh hearings.
00:55:10.180 Is that what you're referring to?
00:55:11.440 Yeah, but supposedly it's sacred.
00:55:12.880 You can't go in the Capitol and actually disrupt a proceeding.
00:55:15.160 Well, more than that, it's a, it's a doggone felony.
00:55:18.620 We found out, I mean, a felony, uh, by the way, if we hadn't known that, uh, some of the Republicans would still not have said a word.
00:55:27.220 They would have sat there with their, uh, sitting on their hands being ever so quiet.
00:55:31.600 Uh, well, it's great to be talking with you, Mark, and I appreciate it.
00:55:35.600 Always, uh, have opportunity for us to sit down.
00:55:38.600 Uh, you get the last word here.
00:55:40.720 Uh, that's our convention.
00:55:41.800 I love this podcast.
00:55:43.080 I listen all the time.
