Hello, everybody, and welcome to the big show, The Great America Show.
00:00:04.520
Great to have you with us on today's edition, featuring, as it does every single day, truth, justice, and the American way.
00:00:13.060
Let's begin with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky asking, begging for more equipment and supplies and weapons for his troops,
00:00:22.180
for the Ukrainian resistance, who've defended their homeland with power and resilience, and shocked most of the world who believed it would all be over for Ukraine
00:00:32.360
within a few days, perhaps a couple of weeks, when Putin ordered Russian troops to invade.
00:00:39.380
It's now almost 50 days since the invasion began, and the Ukrainians fight on.
00:00:45.680
Their toughness and their fierce determination turned back the Russians from their assault on the Ukrainian capital of Kiev.
00:00:53.980
Unquestionably, a defeat for Putin and his military, and a costly defeat at that.
00:01:04.720
No one, no leader in Europe or America, or for that matter, Russia, has much chance of swaying Putin from his bloody, devastating course.
00:01:13.540
Neither NATO or Biden have, it seems, any idea how to stop or to slow the Russian attacks
00:01:21.280
while the West ships more weaponry and warplanes to the Ukrainians.
00:01:26.100
And Biden's mishandling of the war hasn't helped him or his party in the polls, to say the least.
00:01:32.700
While the Senate and House will be taking off most of the rest of the year to campaign,
00:01:37.660
both parties are well aware of poll numbers that spell big trouble for Democrats in both chambers.
00:01:44.880
Strategists say they expect perhaps historic losses for the radical Dems who chose this midterm election year
00:01:52.120
to go hard left and follow their Marxist impulses and imperatives to what looks like an electoral disaster in November.
00:02:01.160
I'm unaware of a single Democrat who's begging President Biden to come to a state or a district to help them win their election.
00:02:13.780
He's responsible for the worst inflation in more than 40 years.
00:02:17.900
Americans don't think he's fit to be in the White House.
00:02:21.300
Seventy percent of Americans say the country's headed in the wrong direction,
00:02:24.820
and they hate his border and immigration policies, and as a result, his poll numbers have absolutely collapsed.
00:02:32.300
And the same for the generic Dem running for re-election.
00:02:36.620
In short, the Biden White House overreached with its hardcore leftist executive orders and policies,
00:02:48.200
And then, on one of his rare days outside Washington, Biden was in Iowa pushing his ethanol plan that will boost farmers,
00:02:57.540
but then tried to link Biden inflation to Putin once again, and the reaction was swift.
00:03:04.080
A bird appeared to have pooped on his left lapel, and that wrapped up another Biden mess.
00:03:10.820
Some will say it's karma, others that it's generalized ineptitude, and others that it's impaired faculties are worsening.
00:03:19.520
Whatever the cause or causes, the result is always, it seems, a mess.
00:03:24.500
And another mess of immense proportions is awaiting the Democratic Party in November.
00:03:30.040
Some political analysts and strategists say the Democrats could lose as many as 70 seats,
00:03:35.140
but outcomes are always hard to predict some six to seven months out from an election.
00:03:41.260
Our guest today is Attorney and Congresswoman Claudia Tenney of New York.
00:03:46.200
She sits on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, House Small Business Committee,
00:03:50.280
and is founder and co-chair of the Election Integrity Caucus.
00:03:55.620
Congresswoman Tenney, it is great to have you with us on The Great America Show.
00:03:59.480
I've wanted to talk to you for some time, and I'm just delighted to have you on the show.
00:04:07.340
Well, it's just an honor to be on with the great Lou Dobbs.
00:04:09.700
I was a big fan of yours for many years, even when you went from CNN to Fox Business.
00:04:16.100
So, you know, truth, justice in the American way, and fighting in the arena is good stuff.
00:04:28.660
You've been elected to the Congress from New York.
00:04:35.840
New York is, in the eyes of most of the country, a rabid left-wing blue state
00:04:42.720
that seems to embrace Marxism and everything socialist.
00:04:54.320
And the rest of the state is actually pretty moderate and very red in some portions.
00:05:00.520
When, for example, Governor Cuomo wins, he only wins about five or six counties of the 62 counties in New York.
00:05:07.940
So the rest of us are orphans out in the rest of the state, being besieged by Albany and the far-left policies,
00:05:14.980
which have gone from very left-wing progressive to very almost communist, really communist right now,
00:05:22.360
So the rest of New York, where so much prosperity has been throughout the many years,
00:05:27.640
the Erie Canal was dug in my congressional district, where we started the Industrial Revolution.
00:05:32.940
The first oil and gas discovered in the United States was in New York State.
00:05:38.000
And many people don't know this is what New York is about.
00:05:43.700
IBM was founded in my district, the oldest manufacturing company, basic manufacturing company in the United States,
00:05:50.760
known as Revere Copper, is actually in my district, is still operating.
00:05:57.580
So it's amazing what we've had and what we've lost.
00:06:01.260
And the Empire State was the Empire State because we had, you know, all the leaders in industry,
00:06:06.480
all the leaders in business here in this country, in this state.
00:06:09.620
And now so much of it has been gouged out by a lot of globalist policies, a lot of liberal policies,
00:06:16.800
and high taxes, high regulations, you know, just a lack of realistic approach
00:06:21.980
and really a hostile due toward anybody in business or anyone who seeks to make a profit or actually grow their wealth.
00:06:30.180
As a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee, I want to turn first to the Ukraine war,
00:06:35.880
which we're told is going to intensify in the East.
00:06:39.060
Putin is bringing greater power to bear, weaponry against the Ukrainians in the Donbass region in the East.
00:06:48.980
Your thoughts about what the Ukraine situation is.
00:06:54.740
Well, I think the Ukrainians have stunned the world with their resiliency and willingness and ability to fight back against Putin.
00:07:04.820
And including the United States, which was really very late as President Biden was very late to really provide the lethal aid
00:07:11.740
and also late to deter Putin's ingress into the Ukraine.
00:07:17.760
For months and months, Putin was amassing troops on the border, just saying, oh, we just have troops on the border.
00:07:22.800
It was never taken seriously by the Biden administration.
00:07:26.040
And so the reaction of the Biden administration was sort of a wait and see instead of leading the world
00:07:31.800
and making sure that we win this, because if the Ukrainians don't win, it looks to me very similar to what happened in World War II,
00:07:41.540
that we could have almost a World War III on our hands, this incrementalism of things just starting to move.
00:07:46.860
And if Putin is successful and this new general that he's appointed, it's going to be as awful and gruesome as it was to watch what happened in Syria
00:07:55.620
when Putin went in to help Assad decimate the Syrians.
00:07:59.540
So I think that the concern I have is that we're too late to the game.
00:08:06.640
It was late and very indecisive on the part of the Biden administration.
00:08:12.180
And obviously, because Ukraine is not a NATO country, it's been a little bit more complicated.
00:08:17.800
But where we are today, though, is really interesting.
00:08:20.440
It comes down to something interesting, where Russia's greatest strength and their economic energy,
00:08:27.040
their economic engine is energy, is supporting oil and gas.
00:08:31.580
And we still have not put crippling sanctions on Russia's ability to sell oil and gas.
00:08:39.860
And the reaction of the Biden administration is this.
00:08:45.640
Let's take away the dependency on oil and gas today.
00:08:50.000
And then the Russians will have nothing to sell.
00:08:52.260
Well, that is a 10, 20, 30-year plan that is not in place.
00:08:57.940
We don't have the reliability of electrification.
00:09:00.740
And it's interesting, because Putin is actually the one who's been selling this sort of mythology
00:09:05.820
of this green energy is going to just immediately supplant us.
00:09:10.800
Back in 2014, it was discovered, even by Rasmussen, who was once the head of NATO, that the Russians
00:09:18.160
were spending millions and millions, up to $100 million, on a disinformation campaign, let
00:09:23.600
me use the Democrats term, to try to move the Europeans and the U.S. away from the idea
00:09:30.280
that they could use natural gas and then create this dependency on Russia.
00:09:41.400
We aren't exploring responsible, safe gas drilling in places like my district in New York
00:09:46.940
State, which has abundant natural gas, whether it's the Utica and Marcella Shell, right in
00:09:53.980
And now they're actually just dragging these oil and gas companies over the coal, saying,
00:10:00.720
And these are massive investments that come from these companies.
00:10:04.240
And to say that we're going to cut you off in a couple of years is, you know, they have
00:10:10.260
And it's just a total economic illiteracy about how our system works.
00:10:14.860
And Putin is taking advantage of it very smartly.
00:10:17.580
And yet, you know, he's a brutal, murderous dictator who doesn't have to worry about the
00:10:24.780
And they're not going to vote him out because they're getting propaganda fed to them.
00:10:29.720
I lived in a communist country, even though it wasn't a Soviet bloc country, there was
00:10:34.280
still, it was still a communist country of a sort back when I lived in Yugoslavia.
00:10:38.260
So you're seeing this complex situation where the U.S., though they're acting now, we still
00:10:43.620
haven't really cut Russia off where the sanctions are the most critical.
00:10:47.400
And then the other interesting thing is while we're in this brutal situation in Ukraine where
00:10:52.160
a, you know, a member of the, a permanent member of the U.N. Security Council is actually,
00:10:57.020
who's, by the way, those five countries involved are supposed to be maintaining the world's
00:11:02.160
peace and the world's security, you know, is bombing the hell out of a country right
00:11:08.580
They're in the permanent, a permanent member of a, you know, it makes you wonder why we
00:11:14.000
And they're also the key negotiator in the Iran nuclear deal, which would, would put,
00:11:19.040
intimidate our neighbors and, and, and put fear in our neighbors over in, you know, in the
00:11:24.500
Middle East and not that they're pushing, uh, because of the Biden administration's fecklessness
00:11:29.200
and weakness, they're pushing a lot of our allies to China, who is our greatest adversary
00:11:37.600
And so it's, it's just a complex situation where we cannot afford to have Ukraine lose
00:11:42.700
at this point because the Chinese every day are gauging how we handle this crisis in
00:11:49.120
They saw what a disaster and debacle and tragedy Afghanistan was where 13 service members were
00:11:57.880
And Biden is still saying, I don't need to apologize.
00:12:01.800
I mean, I'm a mother of an, of a Marine officer for someone to say that when my child is, uh,
00:12:07.120
answered the call to serve and ends up, you know, these families, we, we created 13 gold
00:12:11.680
star families and, and to have this complete, uh, you know, lack of empathy for these families.
00:12:17.280
And now to go in and not really know what he's doing in Ukraine, all of the fecklessness
00:12:22.120
of, of president Biden, his meandering, his incompetence, you know, for decades on top
00:12:28.460
of now, the question about whether he's really got the, you know, the mental faculties to
00:12:32.860
do the job, all of that is signaling to our enemies that we're not reliable, uh, that we
00:12:42.220
And it's really put us in, I think one of the most devastating situations we've been
00:12:47.860
I, I, I dare say since world war II and the, the administration itself, the Biden administration
00:12:55.040
seems to, to boil down to this, at least for me, uh, Joe Biden is impaired.
00:13:01.400
Uh, the Ronnie Jackson, Congressman Ronnie Jackson has now twice asked for a cognitive test, uh,
00:13:11.280
has been rebuffed by the white house because they're not going to give a cognitive test
00:13:16.500
to this president because they know what the results will be.
00:13:20.080
President Trump, on the other hand, when the Democrats, uh, snarkily, uh, went after him
00:13:26.140
to take a cognitive test, did so and, uh, passed it according to, uh, a, uh, to dr, uh, running
00:13:34.900
Jackson, uh, you know, he's, he passed it with flying colors and Jackson, by the way, was
00:13:41.340
doctor to three presidents in the white house and knows wherever he speaks.
00:13:45.260
So it's, it's a difficult situation, but this, this man is a puppet and people need to understand
00:14:01.460
And that, uh, band of Marxist leftists, uh, who were, were, uh, put in a cabal to manage
00:14:11.620
this little administration called the Biden white house.
00:14:17.920
The Southern border is wide open that the Biden administration.
00:14:36.380
And it gives a damn about the fact that 150 countries, illegal immigrants are crossing what
00:14:47.280
And to think that this administration continues without so much as a, a response of any kind
00:14:54.240
from the corporate owned national leftist media is, is, is breathtaking.
00:15:00.480
And they're running, they're running interference for them.
00:15:03.060
I mean, you point out, I'm on Ronnie Jackson's letter, uh, who Ronnie Jackson, by the way,
00:15:07.600
Ronnie Jackson, amazing guy, really strong Patriot, really, really terrific.
00:15:13.740
So it's, it's just like having the propaganda strong arm of the Democrat machine to break,
00:15:20.160
you know, strike down anyone who has first met, you know, especially Ronnie Jackson speaking
00:15:25.320
They're trying to take away his military retirement.
00:15:32.100
They destroy anyone who dares to stand up to him.
00:15:36.660
The corporate media empowers these Democrats who are running our government.
00:15:41.020
And it's not all Democrats, it's the people in charge.
00:15:43.680
And when you talk about, I mean, nobody, and I can't believe they haven't tried to hide
00:15:49.020
No one could see more beautifully demonstrated.
00:15:51.760
And tragically, I might add the footage of Obama's first appearance back in the white
00:15:56.660
house with Joe Biden, wandering aimlessly around all by himself and the rest of the
00:16:04.320
And then, you know, comments later by president Obama, he said, geez, you know, I wouldn't like
00:16:08.000
to really go through the hassle of doing a third term, you know, typical Obama type statement,
00:16:12.440
but I wouldn't mind having someone there in place to do the ceremony.
00:16:15.340
And I could control everything behind the scene and I'm paraphrasing, but that's exactly
00:16:19.920
They almost, they almost admitted it and it's tragic to see that.
00:16:24.240
And then to see the border, I mean, the border, you know, we are empowering and creating
00:16:29.360
the wealth in the cartels, not in the American people.
00:16:32.760
The taxpayers are paying for all of this and we're paying for it, not just through money.
00:16:39.380
You're going to see the continuation of people.
00:16:43.100
And I don't know if you've seen the recent stories right in the Navy yard in Washington,
00:16:48.520
D.C., which is just near the Capitol, not even a mile from the U.S. Capitol.
00:16:52.480
We had undercover, you know, so-called phony spies living in luxurious conditions with sub,
00:17:00.280
you know, automatic weapons and all kinds of inside resources working for the vice president
00:17:06.820
and Jill Biden, who were, you know, disguised as spies.
00:17:10.320
You know, this story just broke a few days ago, right in the Navy yard.
00:17:17.800
Think about how many people would do harm to the American people, whether they're Russian
00:17:21.640
spies, spies from China, from all over the world.
00:17:26.140
They can just walk across the southern border right now.
00:17:29.580
And 150 countries are represented in all of those illegal crossings, 2 million, 2 million
00:17:42.520
And of those 2 million in his first year in office, President Biden released 1.6 million
00:17:52.560
But what maybe our audience doesn't know is that when next month, Title 42 is lifted, which
00:18:02.060
is that gives that order gives the power to the executive to remove illegal immigrants to
00:18:12.400
When that is dropped, the estimates are that we will see 3.5 million more illegal immigrants
00:18:25.180
And that is exactly what the Biden administration, President Obama, and the cabal that surrounds
00:18:35.820
Because that will, because of redistricting and the importance of the census count, that
00:18:42.560
will tip district after district, perhaps dozens of districts, toward the Democrats from which
00:18:50.640
Yeah, I mean, I think this is by design at the southern border.
00:18:53.740
And I will, I have visited the southern border.
00:18:57.680
I also interviewed Senator Roger Marshall, who is part of the Doctors Caucus.
00:19:04.820
And I verified and looked up some of the CDC reports.
00:19:10.040
That's the excuse that the Biden administration is using, saying, oh, there's no more COVID-19 because
00:19:16.280
we decided there isn't, not because of science, by the way.
00:19:20.620
But there are so many other diseases coming across that border.
00:19:24.120
They have detected mumps, measles in older people in cases of tuberculosis, HIV, AIDS, communicable
00:19:32.920
diseases that have been eradicated or been resolved by American science and technology that are just
00:19:38.420
people coming across this border, and we can't do anything about it.
00:19:41.720
And I went through the system of what, many of the children have head lice.
00:19:48.800
And all of this is done by the goodness of our border patrol, who are being stretched and
00:19:54.620
stressed beyond their abilities because there's so many people coming across the border.
00:19:58.620
And they've been disrespected and demoralized by this administration and people like AOC.
00:20:04.760
And yet they're doing heroic work trying to do what they can with this onrush of people
00:20:10.040
coming across the border from all walks of life.
00:20:12.600
And as you said, over 150 countries, people with all kinds of intentions, whether good or
00:20:18.120
not, probably mostly not, because the minute you set foot across our border, you're committing
00:20:23.920
And then leaving all these people who I've known throughout my years who are still waiting
00:20:28.880
in line, waiting in line to become legal citizens of this country because they believe in freedom
00:20:36.380
They know if there is no United States where our constitution upholds freedom and individual
00:20:42.280
rights and the ability to preserve that with sovereign territories and borders, there's
00:20:52.000
And it's scary because the Democrats don't really care.
00:20:54.960
And if they say they care, they don't do anything about it.
00:20:57.380
Or they're so afraid of the far left challenging them in a primary that they won't stand up.
00:21:03.100
And they've allowed this administration to run amok.
00:21:07.920
And a lot of the things that have happened with the Biden administration finally acted somewhat
00:21:12.060
on the border, which they do nothing, or on Ukraine has become from a few bipartisan Democrats
00:21:18.180
with most of the, almost all the Republicans to push the administration to act because we're
00:21:24.880
And that, you know, we'll get to the election issue.
00:21:27.480
I mean, that's a huge problem when you talk about what the Democrats are going to do with
00:21:31.960
And I say this to these Republicans who I think sometimes are very weak and very nonchalant
00:21:37.480
about this issue after what I went through and what I've been through in an election process
00:21:41.880
where I was just a lawyer, a newspaper owner, and a business owner.
00:21:48.320
I didn't, you know, I did my level best to make sure that the citizens who I represented
00:21:53.200
in my newspaper were informed is to the best I could do it without bias.
00:21:57.580
And I am a Republican, but I went after the sacred cows in both parties, which is why I
00:22:05.680
I've had, you know, 47 million spent against me, but 13 million of it was by Republicans to
00:22:20.480
Yeah, my big concern is, so let's get into that.
00:22:33.020
They know they have to win by process and basically cheating.
00:22:36.200
And they're doing everything they can right now, as much behind the scenes, to make sure that
00:22:42.760
And I worry that the Republicans are not strong enough and standing up and being very vocal
00:22:47.740
on this issue because the Democrats are effectively silencing everyone by saying, oh, if you challenge
00:22:53.540
the election or raise election integrity, you're immediately deemed an insurrectionist.
00:23:01.240
I mean, look at Hillary Clinton just a couple of days ago.
00:23:04.040
Got up and said that she, you know, that Russia and Putin helped Trump win the 2016 election.
00:23:09.320
Does that make her an insurrectionist and a seditionist?
00:23:13.560
You know, the people have got to wake up and say that democracy.
00:23:22.420
It's time that the American people got used to some relatively direct and plain language.
00:23:28.440
Because we are in a crisis and no one really wants to admit the dimensions of it, whether
00:23:35.600
it is an open border, whether it is a corporate media that is trying to herd all of America
00:23:46.180
They're trying to destroy everything about this country.
00:23:51.980
And they're trying to destroy public education in this country.
00:23:56.580
There is nowhere you turn, Congresswoman, that there isn't an elite guiding, if not owning,
00:24:06.060
every sector of our economy, whether it's business, whether it's government, whether it's
00:24:10.580
politics, whether it's education, whether it's universities and colleges or K-12, whether
00:24:16.700
it's media, whether it's even the upper echelons of our military, the woke left-wing military,
00:24:26.080
It is, I think, I have to say that this is the damnedest point that I thought we would
00:24:37.040
It's impossible, I think, for most people to even believe what they feel and what they
00:24:43.940
And here's the concern I have about just my role as a former lawyer, newspaper owner,
00:24:51.340
Look, I love President Lincoln for a lot of reasons.
00:24:56.760
My son, who is one of the most well-read people I know, and obviously he's the greatest son
00:25:04.660
But anyway, he's a tremendously well-read, smart kid who is very objective about the way
00:25:11.100
he views things, and he's good at analysis, Naval Academy graduate, served as a Marine
00:25:20.100
But my concern in reading a lot about Lincoln, and again, my son kind of turning me on to
00:25:24.860
some of this stuff, is Lincoln was at a critical point where we thought this was the end of
00:25:28.800
the United States in the 1800s, the Civil War, terrible situation.
00:25:34.500
We had somebody who emerged at the right time who was able to grasp that leadership.
00:25:40.220
And one of the things that I find so interesting about Lincoln is when you read him, he was
00:25:47.880
He was a one-termer in the House of Representatives.
00:25:52.800
And one of his enduring themes was, we are a self-governing constitutional republic.
00:25:59.440
And Lincoln's question was always, can we be self-governing?
00:26:09.740
They're already infiltrated, as you just identified.
00:26:16.040
The silver lining in COVID is, you get to see what they're doing and what they're going
00:26:20.520
to do to us and how they want to control our lives.
00:26:22.980
And I think some people realize, wow, this is what it's like to not have freedom.
00:26:27.820
I had a more acute feeling about that, living in a communist country and knowing, you know,
00:26:34.260
the scariness of having police and having the police run state.
00:26:37.540
And we have, you know, the brilliance of our founders in creating a civilian command.
00:26:43.780
And, you know, obviously the founders knew that enlightened statesmen would not always
00:26:48.120
be at the helm, which is what we have right now.
00:26:50.440
We have a Joe Biden who's, you know, has always been a talentless, lying, unqualified person
00:26:58.120
to really be anything, who now we're finding out, we always presumed it, but now we have
00:27:02.420
more evidence that this guy is actually, this guy, Joe Biden, is actually, you know, in a
00:27:09.300
position where he could have used, and we think he probably used his position in government
00:27:18.120
And here he is, you know, compromised by our greatest adversary, China, taking advantage
00:27:23.040
of some of the corruption that occurred in Ukraine.
00:27:25.620
And we're in this point where, I mean, can we be self-governing with someone like this
00:27:34.060
Number one, the Democrats did not want to have Bernie Sanders as the standard bearer for
00:27:39.740
their party because he was leading in the polls in the run-up to the election of 2020.
00:27:50.720
The most important legislature in the world is run by a communist.
00:27:55.500
And now we see sort of the pieces coming together.
00:28:00.240
And then you've got a guy like Bernie Sanders there, and you've got the Democrats all of a
00:28:03.740
sudden scrambling, getting Amy Klobuchar to step out, Pete Buttigieg.
00:28:10.720
And then this propped up version of old Joe, regular old Joe gets put in, a media creation
00:28:18.200
gets in there because they can't have somebody that's a known communist running on their party
00:28:26.260
And Joe is literally a puppet, as you described earlier.
00:28:32.140
He is also a greedy puppet, and of course, has corruption all around him, and most of
00:28:41.540
it of his design or his son, Hunter, or his brother, James' design.
00:28:48.100
There's no question that the laptop is for real.
00:28:50.820
Even the New York Times and the Washington Post, it took the Post 500 days.
00:28:55.460
But they finally acknowledged that they were at least silent actors in an effort to deny
00:29:05.220
the American people their right to know about a presidential candidate.
00:29:12.660
It is Bill Barr, who President Trump has called a weak man, but never weaker than in the moment
00:29:19.420
in which he acknowledged in his book, that he knew that Biden was lying when he said what he did
00:29:30.380
And he knew, in all likelihood, since he knew that, that 50 veterans of the CIA and our intelligence
00:29:39.180
community and five former directors of the CIA were lying when they said it was Russian
00:29:46.660
This has been for, since at least 2015, when Donald Trump entered the race, till this very
00:30:01.240
It has been a plot to overthrow a president, to take control of a country that probably has
00:30:08.920
called itself a constitutional republic, the world's greatest democracy.
00:30:12.900
Well, there isn't anything democratic about it, as 2020 demonstrated, because as this new
00:30:19.900
documentary, Rigged, points out, that election was rigged long before election day.
00:30:28.360
And it was rigged by the Democrats who outsmarted the Republicans, to your point.
00:30:33.300
And the Republicans are not only gutless, and I'm talking about the rhinos, they're gutless,
00:30:52.940
And we had to fight tooth and nail for almost 100 days directly with Mark Elias, who I hope
00:31:00.800
It's starting, the walls are starting to cave in on him.
00:31:05.940
And they were able to take, as the movie points out, and I recommend the movie Rigged to everyone.
00:31:11.020
And it's kind of a corollary, I don't know what the connection is with Molly Hemingway's
00:31:21.020
And this is what's so frustrating for people who, you know, know that something went wrong.
00:31:26.220
And this is why they're so clever, and why I could see what was happening in my race.
00:31:31.660
And I'll tell you, Governor Cuomo used the pandemic as an excuse to create an online database.
00:31:37.820
And that online database had no verification process.
00:31:41.800
So they could basically scour the roles in New York State and get voters out.
00:31:47.540
And they were solicited by these outside groups.
00:31:51.540
And the Center for Tech and Civic Life was this not-for-profit, you know, created by Mark
00:31:57.700
Zuckerberg and Tina Epps, who was the one who ran the Obama administration.
00:32:06.120
They were able to take that money through a nonprofit, provide these grants to key election
00:32:14.620
They knew they weren't going to win, you know, certain states.
00:32:17.540
But they knew that Georgia and Wisconsin and Pennsylvania and Arizona, they knew these are
00:32:24.960
Fortune was spent in Georgia because they knew that was going to be a tough race.
00:32:30.780
It was laundered through, basically is a better way of putting it, a 501c3.
00:32:35.520
And that money went to, 99% of it went to electioneering or vote harvesting, as I call it, not
00:32:42.740
to PPE, which is what they said it was for, and they were able to prime the pump and get
00:32:48.760
that money out and make sure that they squeaked Joe Biden over the finish line.
00:32:53.000
So if you look at these key swing states, this election came down to 42,000 votes.
00:32:59.520
Out of 330 million people, it came down to 42,000 votes.
00:33:03.580
And they were able to squeak him across the finish line using this, which looks unethical.
00:33:09.840
The question that President Trump and that all of us are, the problem we have is technically
00:33:15.700
it isn't what you would call fraud under the legal definition that a judge could weigh in
00:33:26.740
But it happened, and we were too late, and the judges dismissed these cases.
00:33:31.320
And a lot of people were very upset about it, including me.
00:33:34.320
But it really wasn't, and judges tend to be risk-averse, and they tend to, you know, look
00:33:44.620
But, you know, so we ended up having this situation where the Democrats created this
00:33:50.780
And I even heard Bill Barr say no widespread fraud.
00:33:53.740
But there was gross irregularity and gross manipulation of the system, which is what they
00:33:58.740
did using this $400 million from a basically Mark Zuckerberg, a big tech oligarch in the United
00:34:05.200
States, to try to make sure that Joe Biden won.
00:34:09.040
In addition, I think one of the other things that you just mentioned, those 51 intelligence
00:34:14.140
officers who signed a letter putting out false information, knowing that that laptop was
00:34:21.600
legitimate and it wasn't Russian disinformation, those people should all seek justice as well.
00:34:27.020
This is the kind of stuff that, and why Bill Barr let this thing go?
00:34:31.580
We knew from December and January that this was happening.
00:34:34.740
Now, I demanded the 990s of the Center for Tech and Civil Life or Civic Life that they
00:34:42.080
Well, I didn't get it until December of last year, a full year after the election was over.
00:34:48.760
And so it's frustrating because, like, for me, I was able to squeak out and win by 109
00:34:56.760
And I'll tell you what they did in my race, which a lot of people don't realize.
00:35:00.280
Not only were we registering voters in January, registering, talking about new registrations
00:35:06.880
of voters in January, those votes were counted in January of 2021 for an election that occurred
00:35:16.140
And thankfully, we were able to squeak across the finish line and still win that.
00:35:19.840
That's what the kind of stuff that they get away with.
00:35:22.400
Those are the laws we need to pass to make it illegal.
00:35:24.700
And it's almost impossible to do that in states where, like New York, where the Democrats are
00:35:30.220
going to make it impossible for us to manage these elections, which is why I put in the
00:35:34.540
N-Zuckerbox Act, which would, on the federal level, make sure that no not-for-profit or any
00:35:41.200
kind of organization like the Center for Tech and Civic Life that was Mark Zuckerberg's laundering
00:35:46.160
scheme could be used to manipulate our elections.
00:35:49.860
It would be an interference with elections and an interference with the state's ability to
00:35:55.280
So you are a warrior, if you will, in the trenches right now, running against big money, both
00:36:03.080
the Democratic Party and the RINOs who want to destroy you.
00:36:06.980
Oh, I, you know, a lot of the, right now I don't, I've actually beat back a lot of the
00:36:14.520
I think we've, I don't know, we've kind of scared away about 13 or 14 people already this
00:36:20.820
I still have one more that I may end up in a small primary with.
00:36:24.740
But in the past, I'd never been endorsed by the Republican Party.
00:36:30.800
There was a three-way race that I was actually able to win with the least amount of resources.
00:36:35.680
But we had a really strong grassroots effort and we worked hard to tell the truth.
00:36:40.780
I was talking about fair trade, not necessarily free trade.
00:36:45.180
We were talking about the loss of American jobs and our ability to manufacture.
00:36:49.160
A lot of those things that were not actually, they were not actually things that were something
00:36:55.520
that Heritage and other, you know, conservative groups liked.
00:36:58.700
But I was in a community where I could say, you know, IBM, we have everybody and they're gone.
00:37:04.760
You know, Oneida Limited was founded in my district.
00:37:10.780
So I started this Made in America thing in my first term in the Assembly in 2010.
00:37:15.300
And I had to beat the Republican County Chairman.
00:37:17.540
And I had never been endorsed again by my home county and not for Congress in 2016 either.
00:37:25.320
And then, of course, they, you know, found a way to redistrict me and they beat me back
00:37:29.560
in 2018 and I won again in 2020, you know, with the after, you know, with the onslaught
00:37:36.520
But, you know, my feeling is I kind of have this newspaper truth thing in my heart.
00:37:43.200
And I want the citizens to know that they are the government.
00:37:49.040
And it's so important that people understand that you've got to get involved in government.
00:37:53.020
You have to be part of this process or we're going to lose our self-governance.
00:37:56.860
Well, I think, you know, I applaud you in all respects.
00:38:03.020
I think I heard you say you were Trump before Trump.
00:38:06.460
Well, it's funny you say that because one day I was talking about all these issues and
00:38:14.020
Trump decided, you know, Trump was in the running.
00:38:16.600
And I was on a radio show and one of the radio hosts said, well, basically, you're like
00:38:21.140
And I said, well, I mean, I was doing these things.
00:38:26.520
They turned this into this, you know, negative.
00:38:29.580
She, you know, she's obnoxious and a bully like Trump and everything else.
00:38:33.680
They took all the worst of Trump and tried to apply it.
00:38:38.000
And that's why when Trump came along, it was like a eureka, hallelujah moment for upstate
00:38:43.440
He was very popular, very well received and still is.
00:38:46.300
You can drive around upstate New York and and see Trump signs still Trump 2024 make voting
00:38:52.360
great again, all kinds of I mean, he's still very popular.
00:38:54.840
And a lot of people, you know, look at President Trump and they, you know, sometimes they say
00:39:00.700
You know, sometimes he might make cringeworthy statements.
00:39:03.420
Sometimes he's a little rough and a little, you know, maybe a little crude for for people.
00:39:10.600
But what people care about in the end is someone that makes promises and keeps them and somebody
00:39:16.420
that stands for all these forgotten people all across our country and especially in upstate
00:39:24.460
And I think people will forgive Trump for some of the, you know, maybe the unforced errors
00:39:28.620
he makes because he is not one of the insiders.
00:39:34.180
He's not risk averse, which so many politicians are.
00:39:42.300
We need to be more courageous and find that strength and resolve that the patriots have
00:39:49.600
who were able to leave the British and fight them off, you know, totally under, you know,
00:39:56.180
And still we were somehow able to save this country.
00:40:01.060
And we've got, in many cases, we're surrounded by weaklings or we're surrounded by venal evil
00:40:15.840
But we have to be able to have some trust in our government.
00:40:25.780
And I'm going to ask you this question because it's really, I think, important for the audience
00:40:34.200
You're a terrific representative of your district and the American people.
00:40:38.980
I wonder how much the Republican Party has said to you in your own counties, your own district,
00:40:47.100
from your state organization, we've got this election nailed this time.
00:40:52.220
There's not going to be any of this nonsense with mail-in ballots.
00:40:56.120
There's not going to be any ballot harvesting or ballot trafficking, as some put it.
00:41:06.060
Because this fraud, I think there's great fraud all the way around.
00:41:10.060
Because we saw in Pennsylvania, a classic case of a Republican Party, a Republican Party-led
00:41:21.660
A state legislature that added the authority over the election ran from it.
00:41:26.280
The state Supreme Court in Pennsylvania ran from that rigged election.
00:41:31.920
And there were just so many issues it could have been focused on.
00:41:34.920
But in your district, in your experience right now, has the Republican Party worked, I mean,
00:41:41.180
at warp speed and with great velocity to fix the electoral system in your district?
00:41:55.200
My biggest concern is I started the Election Integrity Caucus.
00:41:59.020
I did that because I realized what was happening.
00:42:02.000
I was uniquely in a position where I saw what they were doing.
00:42:11.660
And I saw a lot of conflagration, a lot of people conflating what was really happening.
00:42:17.860
And trying to bring some simple reality to this.
00:42:22.500
A lot of people, especially the rhino types, and some people in leadership, will say,
00:42:29.700
oh, you know, I'm like, why don't you join my Election Integrity Caucus?
00:42:35.540
One of the first ones to join was Ronnie Jackson, great American.
00:42:39.260
We, people who know how hard this is and how much we have to fight tooth and nail.
00:42:44.640
And a lot of people say, well, you know, I don't really feel like we need to deal with
00:42:49.900
And I was like, it is polling near the top or the top all over the country with the base,
00:42:57.440
And if it's not polling at the top, that means you're not messaging correctly.
00:43:01.160
You're allowing the Democrats to message you away from what they're trying to do.
00:43:05.740
The Democrat misinformation campaign is out there.
00:43:08.740
And we can't just sit there and say, let's not talk about it because we don't, we, then
00:43:16.540
They want us to back down and not fight on this.
00:43:19.360
And that's why, you know, keep bringing up Hillary Clinton claiming her election, her
00:43:24.820
Keep bringing up the fact that Stacey Abrams claimed that she never lost and now she's
00:43:30.300
Let me tell you the latest statistics coming from Scott Rasmussen.
00:43:33.820
84% of all voters of all ages and demographics and all parties, all 84% support photo ID to vote.
00:43:49.480
We can find those 80, 20 issues and make sure they don't cheat again and they don't commit
00:43:57.420
And I have people say to me, you know, just honestly, there was a lot of earnest people
00:44:01.020
out there who tried to do a lot, but they're like, look, we don't want to get into this
00:44:05.220
You know, it's, it's all, it's just your race or it's just New York.
00:44:08.080
They, I was on a call with an election integrity group out of South Dakota in South Dakota.
00:44:13.980
One of the election commissioners discovered that there was a trailer and I won't name
00:44:18.620
the name of the town because I can't remember it, but I can find it.
00:44:21.780
There was a trailer in a small, you know, mobile home that had 1400 people registered there.
00:44:28.240
And those 1400 so-called people voted in the election.
00:44:32.440
This is not confined to New York city or New York state or just the blue states.
00:44:39.880
And by the way, we've had election issues throughout our, our country's founding.
00:44:43.740
The reason we have good laws and laws in place is there's a couple of things people need to
00:44:51.000
They have to be fair, but you also have to make sure the reason we have so many of these
00:44:54.920
laws in place is because our right to vote, not only is it sacred, it's private.
00:45:04.920
And that's why we go through so many steps to make sure that our identity is concealed.
00:45:10.420
All the things, the slipshod stuff, the Democrats did last year.
00:45:14.600
And with all these voting, they completely undermine the identities of these people out there who
00:45:20.840
And that's why you don't get one citizen, one vote.
00:45:23.600
That's why you get non, you know, illegal immigrants or non-citizens voting.
00:45:28.020
You get multiple people voting, you know, one person voting multiple times because they're
00:45:35.720
And that's why it's so important that that's why these rules are in place.
00:45:38.660
It's not about the Republicans suppressing the vote.
00:45:44.360
A lot of the sort of weak-willed Republicans, the people, they don't want to bring up it,
00:45:48.540
bring it up because, oh my God, some Democrats are going to bring up January 6th and call
00:45:52.680
me an insurrectionist and call me a seditionist, but nobody's going after Maxine Waters or Pramila
00:46:00.420
They all objected to the election when Republicans were elected.
00:46:04.200
They didn't, they're not called insurrectionists or people trying to undermine the integrity
00:46:09.320
They're not being called out by Liz Cheney and others and Adam Kinzinger about the fact
00:46:15.060
that, you know, we've had a lot of problems in elections and 90% of them are because of Democrats.
00:46:19.880
And we're always over hyper-focused on the one or two times you find a Republican doing
00:46:25.160
That's my biggest concern is that people are afraid to talk about it.
00:46:28.860
That's why the election integrity caucus, we look into these issues.
00:46:34.040
Last week, we had Hogan Gidley, Scott Rasmussen, Ken Blackwell on our show.
00:46:38.960
We've had people from all across the country on the show.
00:46:42.320
We've had Molly Hemingway, you know, really interesting.
00:46:45.260
We had Secretary of State Gardner from New Hampshire.
00:46:49.240
Did you know that he is, he just retired, he's been the, he was the Secretary of State
00:46:54.900
since 1976, he's a Democrat, totally opposed to early voting, totally opposed to late absentee
00:47:02.140
voting and all that, that in New Hampshire, they'd announce under their constitution, they
00:47:08.140
must announce the winner of the election on election night, although they're trying to
00:47:13.800
But when he was Secretary of State, he joined our caucus and agreed with us.
00:47:18.400
He agrees with getting rid of H.R. 1 and H.R. 4.
00:47:21.460
So there are Democrats out there who understand how important election integrity is.
00:47:29.760
It's what they do about it that gets interesting.
00:47:32.500
As Stalin said, you know, he doesn't care who votes, so long as he is the one doing the counting.
00:47:43.800
A rigged election, in my opinion, a disgrace to the nation.
00:47:48.740
And I'm afraid that the Republicans bear almost as much responsibility as the Democrats for
00:47:59.500
I want to say, I want to close here with a discussion just briefly on the Hunter Biden
00:48:07.940
laptop and how it reached to the news organizations.
00:48:12.440
You've been in, you've had editorial businesses and you know how it works, a newspaper.
00:48:22.280
The entire industry right now seems like the most corrupt institution imaginable that is
00:48:30.060
supposed to be a watchdog, is supposed to have the highest and noblest of values and standards.
00:48:36.460
They are nothing more than disinformation outlets, propaganda units of a corporation
00:48:44.000
doing what the masters in the boardroom and the CEO's office say do,
00:48:48.800
whether it's Disney telling ABC News how it goes, or whether it's Comcast telling,
00:49:00.340
Now, I'm not quite sure how it's going to work at Discover, Warner Brothers, and CNN.
00:49:08.360
Your thoughts on, on Hunter Biden's laptop and the fact that none of the media, with the
00:49:14.200
exception of in, in primary colors, the New York Post had the guts to bring that story to
00:49:23.460
Kudos to Miranda Devine for really digging in and putting that out and just disgusting that
00:49:29.680
they were that at a key point in an election that Twitter and other social media outlets
00:49:34.560
would, you know, cut that off and also use the, you know, the, the excuse of those so-called
00:49:39.740
51 former intelligence agents who were blatantly lying.
00:49:42.940
And President Biden, when he was president, when he was a candidate, was saying all this stuff.
00:49:48.840
You know, he was going on about how it was Russian disinformation.
00:49:51.920
I'm not even sure he knows what he really knew what he was saying, but he was reading lines off of a
00:49:58.120
So, you know, my biggest concern is that right now I think that the glimmer of hope here is that
00:50:05.840
why after 14 months when this, on this laptop was unearthed to the New York times suddenly decide,
00:50:21.000
The Biden administration is 70% of the American people now pulled, that's just a record number,
00:50:26.640
disapprove of their handling, of his handling of the economy.
00:50:29.500
I don't know why it's not 90%, but whatever, 70% is the record number.
00:50:34.180
Why do you think that all of a sudden they're coming out?
00:50:36.220
I think they realize that this guy is a drag on their party, on the, on their side,
00:50:40.960
and they need to figure out a way to get rid of him and they need to distance themselves.
00:50:44.920
So you don't see Democrat candidates running to get the endorsement of Joe Biden.
00:50:52.800
And I think they're trying to figure out a way to, because I don't think that they're
00:50:57.360
I, I, I mean, I wish they were, uh, maybe they feel, maybe there's a glimmer of, we got
00:51:02.060
to deal with this issue somehow, but I do feel like they are calculating that there's some
00:51:06.980
way that they've got to manipulate this because they, they've got to figure out a way to move
00:51:12.100
Joe out and figure out what they're going to do next and how they're going to like change
00:51:18.980
I hate to be so cynical about it, but that's my concern is that we are, if it weren't for
00:51:24.140
the New York post and the, and the fact that we have some freedom, uh, through social media
00:51:29.520
and other areas, which were, you know, that's where they, they realized that social media
00:51:34.480
So the big tech, all the, you know, the big tech oligarchs got the signal, you know, from
00:51:39.320
a lot of the networks and they were able to shut us, you know, shut a lot of people
00:51:43.620
But I do think that maybe the New York times and others were, you know, are revealing something
00:51:48.040
else in their plan, but I don't think they're ever going to really, you know, be on our side
00:51:58.680
The opportunity, if we can crack down on big tech and the American people can find people
00:52:03.380
like you and people like others who are, have nothing in the, in the game other than
00:52:07.680
to save America, you know, that's how I view myself.
00:52:13.040
The retirement isn't anything worth, I'm not even, I'm not even eligible for retirement,
00:52:18.840
You know, I, my grandparents came in as immigrants and that's why I think we need to continue to
00:52:26.520
A lot of people want to be just give up and throw in the towel and say, everybody in Congress
00:52:33.780
Let's just keep getting people on message, keeping, keeping them on the task and not
00:52:42.740
And then they're, you know, that they need to stand up for truth.
00:52:45.260
Now, I mean, look at, I explain every single vote I take in Congress, because I know that
00:52:49.620
all these ridiculous bills are named in such a, you know, the Democrats have great, Democrats
00:52:55.540
have great names and they always run these ad campaigns.
00:53:00.440
Well, I, I explain every vote, why I voted no on something, what the bill's really about.
00:53:05.800
It's on, it's, it's, you can get it on my website, on my official website.
00:53:09.820
You can go to Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, everywhere we put out, we put a lot of time
00:53:15.900
We do transparency and everywhere I can, I try to at least do an op-ed, a press release,
00:53:21.580
or get as much information to the public as I can about what's happening in Washington,
00:53:26.620
what they need to be advised on, what they need to know the truth, and what they need
00:53:32.080
to know about making a decision as a citizen who is responsible and has a responsibility
00:53:38.240
to be knowledgeable about being part of our self-governing country.
00:53:42.980
And that's what so many people don't understand, the concept of self-governance.
00:53:46.660
And so I try to, when I meet students, you know, I try to give them examples of what it's
00:53:50.420
like if you don't have the ability to decide what happens.
00:53:53.260
And I do think a lot of the good things are happening, though, I'll tell you a real positive,
00:53:57.220
I think, and I'll close on that, is that I think people are waking up at the school board
00:54:03.140
They're starting to see what happens when they just leave it to chance of what's happening
00:54:08.840
with their children, and they found out what's going on.
00:54:12.220
And I think the parents are getting very involved in school boards.
00:54:15.860
You see people who are standing up and winning these races.
00:54:18.620
You see a miracle like Glenn Youngkin running on the school issue, winning a blue state now
00:54:25.220
And I think this is where people need to understand at the very, very grassroots level, self-governance
00:54:34.040
But in order to be self-governing, in order to understand civics, you need to know what our
00:54:44.560
And I want to say to you how much I've enjoyed our discussion today.
00:54:49.080
And I want to also let you know that this podcast, we're sort of straightforward.
00:54:56.660
It's all about truth, justice, and the American way.
00:55:05.680
And I say on this podcast almost every day that the place where you have the greatest influence
00:55:11.880
with your vote, with your presence, your citizenship is in your community, and be sure that you're
00:55:18.400
It's a participatory democracy, and Republicans have neglected to fulfill their responsibilities.
00:55:25.520
It's time we do so, and it's time we do so with great energy and diligence.
00:55:30.080
And Claudia Tenney, Congresswoman from New York, you're a great example for all of us, a great
00:55:40.320
Our convention is, we always leave this broadcast with our guests, and the last word.
00:55:49.720
It's a tremendous honor to be on with the great Lou Dobbs, and really great to talk with
00:55:54.000
you about how important it is to save this country.
00:55:56.020
And just how grateful I am to you for standing up and continuing to do this when I know you
00:56:01.520
could be enjoying all your time on your horse farm and having a wonderful time.
00:56:05.600
But it's so important that everyone participates, and everyone is willing to learn and willing
00:56:11.160
to understand how important, how we need to take this country back.
00:56:14.840
And so it's great that you're out there, and I really appreciate the opportunity to talk
00:56:20.360
And anyone can find out more, you can go to Claudia at ClaudiaForCongress.com.
00:56:25.600
Or if you want to know about votes, I explain every vote, tenny.house.gov.
00:56:30.980
So every representative votes on all the same bills.
00:56:33.580
So if you want to go see how I voted, you can compare that to your representative and
00:56:39.160
But I really am grateful for the opportunity to speak with you in just sort of a free-form
00:56:43.880
It was really enjoyable for me, and I hope the audience will appreciate it.
00:56:48.520
And we look forward to our next conversation, Congresswoman Tenny.
00:56:54.480
And again, a great American, and God bless you.
00:57:00.800
Our guest tomorrow is the man whose life was changed forever when Hunter Biden walked into
00:57:05.480
his computer shop and asked him to repair and recover the contents of his laptop.
00:57:13.800
Our guest is John Paul McIsaac, who will be with us to tell the incredible tale about the
00:57:20.800
contents of his laptop, his efforts to alert and engage law enforcement agencies, national
00:57:28.200
He tried to talk to members of Congress, attorneys, and some in the national media.
00:57:34.100
This is an amazing story that you do not want to miss.
00:57:37.380
As big tech, social media, and the federal government in the fall of 2020 brought down
00:57:43.640
a curtain of darkness, deceit, and isolation that kept the American people from learning
00:57:50.020
the truth about the laptop from hell, as President Trump once called it.
00:57:55.340
Please join us here tomorrow for John Paul McIsaac.
