Well, guys, joining me now, the host of the great American show, television news legend, Lou Dobbs.
So, Lou, it's great to have you on the show.
And first, I just want to start off by getting your, let's call it the high level,
the 30,000 foot view of the state of the country, the Biden decline,
and how you put this in a historical context.
I mean, you were an original Trumper.
You were sort of America first before people sort of put a label on that.
Tell me, you know, what's going on and how is it possible that there's still so many people out there that don't get it?
Well, I'm glad you start with the easy questions.
Yeah, exactly. Other than that, Mrs.
Lincoln, how was the play?
Exactly. And it's great to be with you.
Thanks for the opportunity to sit down and talk with you.
You probably have asked the easiest question.
How does it look from 30,000 feet?
The farther away you can get from this mess, 30,000, 40,000 feet, the better it looks.
This is an extraordinary time, as we all know.
We have never seen at one point, at least I haven't seen, in my entire career, which spans a few more decades perhaps than the left would like, but the reality is that we are in a mess that I don't think anyone, no matter how sagacious, prescient they are, could possibly have imagined.
We were, during the Trump years, there's no question, your father had this nation humming.
We were prosperous.
We were watching the President pull our troops back from around the world.
It was a modest foreign policy, while at the same time, he was a strong leader.
And that is the perfect balance in the chief executive of this nation.
The country right now is facing, I think, more threats from within.
The threats from within, we have never seen anything like this in the country's history, save the Civil War.
But that was a clear demarcation within the country about the two entities at war.
We have so much complexity now in our lives.
We have disinformation campaigns.
We have misinformation campaigns.
And by the way, those are being run by the federal government, which is controlled by the Marxist Dems.
And people always ask me how I can say that.
And the simple fact is that's the truth.
The Marxist Dems are in control of every agency, every department, and they are maximizing that power of our federal government against patriotic Americans every day in almost every way.
I hope they don't invent any more ways in which to accost us.
And the market right now is volatile.
The economy itself is out of equilibrium.
We are looking at a contest in housing and construction and real estate between rates and inventory and supply and demand.
We have seldom seen this kind of economy, this kind of political atmosphere in the country.
We are this close to being fully and utterly physically divided.
Yeah, so you're right about the Marxists.
I mean, that's something, you know, everyone says, and it's, oh, it's a soundbite, but it's not.
You know, they're not even pretending anymore.
They're saying those quiet parts out loud.
How did that happen?
How did they take over, you know, all of these institutions?
Well, it's a great question because it's been a very long process.
And it starts with quotas back in the 60s and 70s.
It starts with a We're good to go.
But they have an advantage.
They have their complicit allies with the Marxist Dems who are sitting on the bench in most cases in this country.
I said the other day to someone, I don't see how anyone gets a fair trial in this country.
Because lawfare is being exacted, I'm telling you this, lawfare is being exacted against all of our Republican enemies.
The political persecution of your father is now in its eighth year.
He's never...
Once been proved to have done anything wrong, and still it goes on.
Without comment, without support from the leaders in business and academia, from no quarter whatsoever does he receive support.
He talks about he's doing this for the American people.
Let me say, he is doing that, but the American people need to rally around Donald J. Trump because this is war and it's being waged on him principally, but on the rest of us so assiduously and so stealthily that I think a lot of people don't even realize that the water is reaching a boil.
Yeah, I mean, they're literally going after him and persecuting him for all of the things that Joe Biden is clearly doing.
I mean, we have the evidence.
We have it in front of us.
I know the sound bite is, what evidence is there?
You mean other than the emails, other than the text messages, other than the bank accounts, other than the insanity, other than literally everything that's out there?
It never ends.
It compiles, and yet they pretend as though it doesn't actually exist.
Well, I think that's a wonderful word, Don, because pretense is what this is all about.
We have the national left-wing media pretending to be in the news business.
We have them pretending to be objective reporters of reality and truth.
They are the farthest from it one could imagine.
We have pretense that this president is not impaired.
He's not corrupt. He is not compromised by the Chinese and God knows who else.
That's all pretense.
This man is simply not fit to be in the White House.
He's also there illegitimately.
And the facts historically will demonstrate that.
We have enough evidence in front of us to have called a special election, as far as I'm concerned, when we go to the issue of the rigged elections, as your dad famously put it, well in advance of the 2020 election.
They were rigged in every way and rigged in many cases by his own Department of Justice, his own FBI, his own intelligence agencies.
It's outrageous.
We know it. And everyone in the country knows it.
And yet everyone's pretending, you know, we'll just wait till 2024 and everything will just be fine.
Meanwhile, your father is facing over 700 years in prison for indictments.
It's an outrage. So, you know, I think you articulated that really well, and I think anyone watching this show understands that, yet legacy media, even conservative media, I mean, you'll get in trouble for saying that if you said that on, let's say, Fox News or somewhere else, even though it's...
Sort of like the most obvious thing ever.
Like, of course they did. You're not allowed to say that.
How do they continue to get away with that?
And how does legacy media on the conservative side continue to get away with saying these things, pretending they're not even happening, pretending it seems very defeatist, but I guess they don't care because it's an easy existence if they capitulate to the left.
It is, for many of them, the only default.
They don't have enough guts.
They don't have enough intellectual power to understand the complexity of what is going on, the forces at work.
And it is difficult for many people, frankly.
I'm not talking about the media now.
But the American people are working.
Working men and women in this country have got other things to do.
They expect the elites of the country to be looking out for their interests and those of the nation.
This is the first time in history that I think you can say that most of the so-called elites, and I'm using the term somewhat sarcastically and advisedly, they've abandoned the American people.
Working men and women in this country, the middle class, where the American dream lives and is the heart of the American dream.
The fact of the matter is that corporate America, legacy media, whatever one wants to call it, The oligopoly that is cable news, that is the broadcast networks, and three newspapers at most, the New York Times, the Washington Post, and pick another.
They control the message from the establishment.
And that is the reality.
And no one can penetrate it unless they have the establishment's approval and imprimatur.
This is what your father has campaigned against from the very beginning.
It is what is the powerful propaganda force surrounding everything that the deep state, the Marxist Dems, what is the skeleton of the once proud Democrat Party have at least on their side no matter what the issue.
That pretense that we talked about Can't be preserved without the complicity of those media titans.
And again, just a handful of them control about 95% of the media.
Yeah, I guess what's remarkable is how the Democrat Party got so extreme so quickly.
I mean, for example, back in 2007, you were a host on CNN. And, you know, Bernie Sanders was your guest, and he actually agreed with you that we shouldn't have open borders.
Bernie Sanders is now an open borders fanatic, and CNN would never have a host with your conservative worldview on there.
How did that aspect of it change so quickly?
I mean, listen, I don't think there's ever pretending that you weren't sort of a conservative, but you had a business mindset, you had conservative leanings, and that was okay.
We could actually hear that alternate viewpoint.
That would never happen on mainstream programming anymore.
So how did that evolve?
Well, I think that we start with 2001, the Patriot Act, and a change in the attitude of the intelligence agencies themselves, the FBI, and suddenly their national security responsibilities that rose to a level no one had ever seen before.
By 2007, we were watching an onslaught.
We thought it was an onslaught.
By comparison to what we're witnessing here right now, it was a trickle.
And the reality is it was all about replacing labor in this country.
It was an assault on the middle class.
It was an assault on working men and women.
These people were being brought in to depress wages and take jobs.
And George Bush famously, you may recall this, said, You know, we need all of these illegal immigrants to do the jobs that Americans just won't do.
Suddenly, working men and women were the elites who looked down their nose at a job That paid a decent living wage.
That's just not true.
But it became the mantra, and that piece of propaganda worked beautifully as a shield for what the Bush administration and the Democrat Party were to do.
That is, to simply relax all of the resistance to illegal immigration.
And corporate America saying, well, we have to have also, since we've got all the illegal immigrants coming in, we also have to be shipping jobs off to China, to Vietnam, to Romania, wherever it may be.
And they were talking about how that was important to be internationally competitive.
It was all bunkum.
And I was one of the guys, perhaps amongst the very first, if not the first, to say, you know, this is absolutely nonsense.
This is labor arbitrage, and they are doing it on the backs of the middle class in this country.
And you know what, Don? Over the course of three decades, until your father got to office, wages in this country were stagnant.
Basically, the middle class didn't advance one dime per hour.
Over the course of those three decades after 2001.
And from 1995 until 2017.
And that is just stunning to me.
And to think that I was blackballed by the Bush administration, as you say, I was an independent conservative, I would put it that way.
But I was blackballed on the issue of basically saying you have to name the enemy.
They're radical Islamists in the war on terror.
You have to tell the truth.
If you're going to bring in all these illegal immigrants, tell the truth.
You're trying to suppress wages, and that's the consequence.
And if you're going to outsource jobs, you're destroying the middle class.
And that's precisely what happened.
They devastated the middle class for three decades.
So do you think, I mean, when you see the endless flood of immigrants at the border right now under Joe Biden, do you think that this is Biden's incompetence or is it sinister?
I mean, is it still about depressing that wage or is it about perhaps changing the voter rolls?
Is it designed to, you know, We'll influence the next census in eight or nine years when they do that, because they don't have to be legal.
They just have to live in an area, and we can flood Democrat-controlled cities with population that will be counted in a census that will give sort of undue representation, and it doesn't matter, again, whether they're citizens or not.
In other words, does he want all of these people coming in?
Is this part of the Democrat agenda to maintain power and control, even if it's not about depressing that wage anymore?
I think it is, frankly, it's all of the above, but with a loftier goal, and that is to align all of the wealthiest people in this country with the wealthiest in Europe, in Asia, and basically align with the World Economic Forum crowd so that they can operate as a one-world world Without all of this nasty business about having to mess around with a vote on this or that.
And the consent of the governor, as you know, I mean, that's such an onerous burden, isn't it?
I mean, every two years or four years, we have to vote.
And so they made it easier.
They'll just rig the damn election.
And that's exactly what they did in 2020.
That's what they did in 2022.
And the deep state won.
I mean, Bill Barr acknowledged that he knew that Joe Biden was lying in that last debate, the second debate of 2020.
Your father talks to him about the Hunter Biden laptop, and he says it's all Russian disinformation.
It holds up a piece of paper, might as well have, holds up a paper with 51 signatures of intel veterans, including five Directors of the FBI who lied through their teeth, calling it Russian disinformation.
I mean, that's what we're up against.
And if people don't understand that, we're not going to make it in 2024.
Your father called it the final battle.
He is exactly right.
If we don't make it to 2024, you know, that's it.
Yeah, so how did, you know, you sort of brought up, you know, let's call them the globalists, right?
You know, the World Economic Forum, as led by Klaus Schwab.
Who is this? Like, how does this guy have any power?
Like, I don't know of anything that he's done to sort of, you know, get world leaders and billionaires and all of these people going up and kissing his ass.
Like, has he even done?
I don't even know who he is.
And yet he's managed to, you know, seemingly...
Dictate the narrative of, you know, the globalists, of those sort of world elite, and we'll say elite in quotes because, again, most of these people, you know, Hollywood celebrities, you know, they got a single-digit IQ, but they're out there and they're able to manipulate and influence a lot of people.
How did that come about and why?
It came about, the answer is complicated and at the same time straightforward.
There is a matrix that has been created of the wealthy, The powerful, the oligarchs.
Everyone wants to talk about Russian oligarchs or Ukrainian oligarchs.
Well, guess what? The same folks, but with a lot more money, live in this country, and they are the oligarchs.
They are the multi-billionaires who are dictating just about everything that is happening in this country right now.
The World Economic Forum began As a way to bring together the most intelligence, the best and brightest.
I always get nervous when people talk about the best and brightest aggregating in one place because, oh, that's a powerful deal.
Just ask Bob McNamara, the defense secretary, in the Kennedy years and Vietnam years.
It didn't work out so well, and it never does.
Because the people still, the most powerful ideas, the greatest energy response.
With the American people.
The World Economic Forum gave everyone a chance to bring the Europeans in contact with all of the Americans, even Russians.
Even, for crying out loud, China.
And what they talked about was straightforwardly a leavening of economic power in the world.
And the Europeans, having just come out of recovering from World War II, Decided that they could influence the United States, and they did so.
And they had a lot of complicity.
And you start with David Rockefeller and that crowd.
The World Economic Forum put together the propaganda That the elites needed, the globalist elites needed, to carry out what was a borderless vision, economies multiplying their economic power, and doing so by constraining the democracies, including that of the United States.
So, you know, it's interesting. You brought up even China as part of this group, right?
So, of course, China is happy to watch, you know, the downfall of America.
We've accelerated it greatly under Joe Biden.
But do any of these elites believe that that China is gonna be okay with being equal with everyone else once they
attain that Equality so to speak or are they just gonna use it to boost
themselves and once they get there They're gonna continue because you know
There's no doubt in my mind and frankly, it shouldn't be any doubt in anyone else's mind if they have you know a
brain You know that China's not looking for equality
They'll do whatever they can to leapfrog and ultimately have that sort of supremacy over the rest of the world
So we're allowing that These groups are allowing that to happen at the expense of our republic and at the expense of our middle class jobs and at the expense of the American dream.
But I don't think it ends where maybe they think it ends.
I think it goes much further, especially in the case of China.
China is making it difficult now because they wanted to have hegemonic power, dominion over simply the Indo-Pacific and Southeastern Asia and all of Asia, of course.
That they would have been satisfied with five years ago.
But now it's clear that they mean to be the dominant world power.
And if they can go along with the fiction, the absurd illusion that this is going to be a one-world economy in which everyone will stop by Zurich to get a vote on what Xi Jinping really wants to do, they're out of their minds.
But they are doing precisely that.
They're acting as if China is just simply another European nation that just happens to be posited in Asia.
And yes, they do have 1.4 billion people, and they are the second most powerful economy in the world.
And oh yes, in aggregate, Europe is the third strongest economy.
But they don't play that way.
And the United States has deferred so much of its own interest.
And with this administration and that of the Obama administration, they have sought to bring us absolutely level with every other country in the world.
We have the president who was content to go to Cairo and apologize for the United States.
And from the Obama administration forward, We have seen Marxist stems assert themselves, attack the nuclear family, attack capitalism, attack everything that is American, and they mean to destroy it.
And they've done it with the propaganda of the one-world governance.
And they've done it with the propaganda that starts with everything American is evil, and we have to deal with that in what they called inequity.
It's really astonishing what we have put up with over the last 20 years.
Yeah, you look at it, you see it from the UN, and every country is 100% equal.
I'm like, okay, fine. Then stop asking us to pay for everything.
You want equality, like it's time to start being a big boy and carry your own weight.
You want to be equal, but you have zero GDP, and you want us to pay for your protection, or you want us to give you aid, or all of this.
It's like, America shouldn't be meddling us and telling us what to do.
It's like, that's fine. Don't take our $20 billion.
Stop taking that, and you can have total autonomy.
Until then... You know, we should have some say in these things if we're going to be funding it.
And so watching the Bidens give up on that, we'll continue to fund them.
Their interests can be totally non-aligned with America.
We're going to give them the money to watch our ultimate demise.
And we should have no say over it whatsoever is lunacy, but it's happening on a daily basis.
You remember when your father shocked everyone by saying that if we're going to go into Iraq, if we're going to do all of this, we're going to take the oil.
It's our hour!
And look at what these idiots have done now.
These idiots have walked away from Afghanistan with extraordinary mineral resources, natural resources that we should never have ever permitted to fall into the hands of awaiting China and Russia and Iran, for that matter.
We should never, ever have gone into the Middle East and prolonged those conflicts or Staying as a proxy in Ukraine.
What are we doing?
It's a very simple thing.
You know, George Bush himself ran on a policy, a modest foreign policy, a commitment to it, and then savaged half the, you know, the Middle East.
It's sickening to see what the American people, despite everything, put up with.
Because they have not voted in their In the national interests are their own for a very long time.
And they have given the Marxist Dems everything they want.
And as we're talking, it looks like the Republicans are going to give them everything they want, come hell or high water.
Because the leadership of it is just docile.
So how does it feel, I mean, for you, as an American, but you have the ability to sort of be like, I told you so, on issues like war, on issues like trade, on immigration, for 30 years.
You got it right, and yet, you know, they're going to put you out there as a pariah, but these people are still the ones making decisions.
They haven't been right about anything in a few decades.
They continue to get it wrong.
There's no consequence.
You know, I mean...
What goes through your mind when you see that?
You've been right. You've had that track record.
You've called it from day one.
You called it before it was a thing.
And yet the people that are wrong are still the people in power.
They're the people that continue to get to be wrong again.
You saw it in Trump.
Oh, Trump is so wrong, he shouldn't deal with North Korea that way.
It's like, well, why not? Well, because we've been in charge of dealing with North Korea for 50 years.
It's like, well, what have you done? Well, you know, we've done nothing.
We haven't even had a meeting with the guy.
But Trump's definitely still doing it wrong.
You know, you heard the same thing in Middle East when it came to the peace trade.
You know, well, you know, everyone talks they're going to get peace done in the Middle East.
Turns out no one could actually do it because it was all soundbite.
No one probably even had any desire to do anything about it.
You know, how does that make you feel?
Because you're sitting there and just watching the incompetents continue to sort of be the decision makers, and yet with no accountability for their inaction and or incompetence.
Well, I have at least the satisfaction of having wished and publicly said, I hope I'm wrong about any and all of this.
Because I really did.
I didn't want to be right about the callous indifference to their fellow Americans on the part of the Global 1000.
Forbes 500. As they outsource their jobs, as they brought in cheap labor, as they set up trade deals that were insane.
They called it free trade.
And that's the most expensive free trade I could have ever imagined.
Yeah. Now, it's only free when China is taking advantage of us.
Then we do something that they're doing to us.
And then they put up the red flag and we say, oh, I'm so sorry.
We'll do it. I mean, it It's mind-boggling the level of incompetence that has been making trillion-dollar decisions for our people that our children and grandchildren will be beholden to for decades.
It's without question.
And still, what is more dumbfounding to me, as we are watching everything that's unfolding since, well, since the election of 2020, or selection, if you prefer, and I do, we're watching a fellow I can't even imagine got elected.
He didn't campaign.
They rig the whole thing and he walks in like, you know, I'm the most popular fella in town.
But he could say that because he's crazy as hell.
I mean, people don't understand it, or they do understand it, but they won't acknowledge it.
Yeah, like, does anyone really believe that Joe Biden, from a basement, with no following, no this, was miraculously significantly more popular than Barack Obama in 2008?
That Joe Biden managed to lose 18 of 19 bellwethers, but still miraculously overperformed because of his great Affinity for the African-American populace in Atlanta and Detroit.
I mean, this is a guy that basically openly races throughout his whole career.
I mean, it's hard to say it any other way.
Certainly, if he was a conservative, you'd never get a chance of being in elected office.
But, you know, he magically overperformed with the African-American community across the board.
Beating Obama by leaps and bounds, you know, all at two o'clock in the morning.
I mean, is anyone that stupid that they actually believe it?
They may be afraid to say something about it.
Those that do, I mean, you've dealt with this yourself.
Those that do say something about this face consequences, even from those supposedly on our side.
But can anyone actually believe that with a straight face?
Well, they do every day, as you and I both know.
To me, there's the Trump derangement syndrome, which is what the media hung on the door to understanding.
It makes no sense.
He is so deranging of these people that they lose their own sense, their own logic, their own intellects.
There is, adrift in this country, a fog That these people are just, it comforts them somehow, and it allows them to be very comfortable with the obfuscation of reality.
The entire left of this country is, I think, in some sort of psychotic break.
There's no other explanation.
Some of them are intelligent people.
Some of them don't have economic interests in the military-industrial complex.
They don't have an investment in Marxist ideology.
But nonetheless, there's something that compels them.
And it's something very, I think, pathological.
Well, it has to be at this point.
When I'm watching leftists, you know, reasonable even people, you know, pushing, you know, the trans ideology.
A three-year-old should change their gender permanently, and we should just accept this as normal.
And it's totally fine. I mean, the hills to die on of today's left are...
Are so extreme, you know, you feel like you're being punked when you hear them say these things.
Like, you know, I don't believe that they—I don't believe that Joe Biden believes as a, you know, 80-year-old Irish Catholic guy.
Like, I don't believe that he thinks the trans issue is, you know, the human rights issue of our time or social justice issue of our time.
I don't think he has any belief in that.
I think he would have laughed about it two or three years ago before he—you know, dementia totally took over.
And yet they're out there talking about this.
These are the average talking points of the Democrat Party today.
They're the talking points because they work and they serve coalitions of so-called marginalized Americans that somehow they think makes them superior to everyone.
You have to have a lot of gall.
Maybe it's ego or a massive delusion.
To think that these policies that they're following could be helpful to anyone.
Irrespective of politics, anything else, how does it make sense?
The age of reason is 12 years of age.
How does it make sense that we demand the sex education for five and six year olds?
We demand that teachers Have the greater power and authority over children than parents.
I believe it was the Gateway Pundit, perhaps Breitbart the other day, had a story about a crazy person who wrote a book about a four-year-old who was transgender.
Four years old!
Now, we've reached a point here where the entire medical profession is nuts because they won't stand up and say, first, do no harm.
We know, and by the way, what we don't know is much larger, but why aren't there public hearings?
If this is a serious issue, let's have public hearings and talk about it.
Congress won't touch it.
The Senate won't touch it.
No one has the guts to let the science dictate.
By the way, I'll never let the science dictate.
But at least we would have a guidepost.
Yeah, you certainly can.
I mean, when I was four, I wanted to be an airplane, but my parents didn't let me jump off of a building.
I mean, that's what's going on.
But you mentioned sort of, you know, what's going on.
I mean, is the Republican D.C. establishment, I mean, are they failing to follow through on the promise they made to voters?
I mean, I think many of them were elected to actually put up and fight against some of this insanity, but are they just capitulating as well?
What do you think? Are they holding up their end of the bargain here?
Well, if you're talking about the Republicans, certainly not.
If you're talking about the Democrats, the only thing they're holding up is the American taxpayer.
You're talking about $7 trillion.
By the way, that's pretty good, but we only had $5 trillion come in.
And we're at $33 trillion in debt.
And they're sitting there demanding.
I mean, with this impaired, puppet, compromised president, and everyone knows full well, it's not his administration.
It's the Marxist devs and the oligarchs who control them.
And he's demanding a spending plan that will just simply send us down further toward the path of being a debtor nation in perpetuity.
This is ignorance. I hope there isn't a university in the country that has an economist who thinks this is intelligent fiscal policy.
It's mindless.
And again, we're back to your word.
Pretending. Even the scholars are pretending, because they've got some higher, loftier commitment to an amazing goal that's so much more important to them than the United States, their fellow citizens, and this great country.
Who the hell do they think made them possible?
Well, listen, I think so many have made it possible because we've been quiet.
We've been pushed into a box.
We've been made to feel inferior.
There's consequences to being vocal.
There's certainly consequences to being a vocal conservative.
You could say whatever you want if you're preaching.
No, you know it.
I know it. My family knows it.
We get it. But in your media career, Talk about that shifting landscape and how the establishment media seems to be losing the trust of its viewers more and more.
I mean, there was a time they sort of had that, but I think, you know, media is down there with Congress, maybe worse in terms of what the average person thinks of its efficacy.
Now, there are people that are still not, you know, they're too busy to follow politics that closely.
Hopefully, they're waking up because of the insanity that's going on, but How has it changed from when you first got into the business where you had, you know, people that had credibility talking about this?
Now you have, you know, Jake Tapper and all these people pushing a narrative that's so clearly a narrative with approval ratings that's so dismal, you know, yet they still have a job, they still get paid their seven figures.
Have you seen that evolve?
Well, I've seen it evolve from a point to which you just alluded.
There was a time in television news, which is not lofty, journalistic stuff, or it didn't used to be.
It was a great, fun job, and you had a great tutorial as you reported across the world.
But you didn't have any illusions about you're there to save the world.
I think right now, I wish every journalist was thinking about saving America.
What we've seen is go from objective reporting, the facts are the story, the event is the story, the people are the story, to, oh, it's Jake Tapper.
Oh, I can't wait to see Jake Tapper, or whoever it is.
I don't know that CNN, any of its brilliant anchors, has ever won an hour of television in their day part.
I mean, they put people on, it doesn't matter.
It's crazy. There's no response to the market because they might as well say to the audience, look, you just sit there and listen because this is for your good and we're not going to put up with any...
I don't want to hear from you.
I don't want to see an email.
I don't want to see any kind of communication from you about what we're doing.
That's who they are. Well, you've also spoken, I mean, obviously, you know, well-versed in business and, you know, talked about that for years.
You know, when does, you know, corporate America is just as guilty of that?
You know, we're going to jam whatever the leftist narrative is down your throats.
Disney with the children and the indoctrination.
When are there class action lawsuits from shareholders who say, enough, you're not doing your fiduciary responsibility.
I mean, they sort of take away from that.
No, well, we're doing diversity, equity, inclusion, and that's our objective.
Well, at the expense of shareholder value, when do you have pushback There as well, where people say, hey, I'm a shareholder of your company, Disney.
You're not acting in the best interest of my stock.
You're pushing a narrative.
You're pushing an agenda.
It's been dismal for your performance, and yet they continue to do that, and no one's actually pushing back.
Is there a way to actually fight back against this, or is just sort of the juggernaut so big that it doesn't matter?
It'll just be enveloped, and we're going to pretend it's not a real thing.
I think we've reached such a point, Don, in this country.
These oligarchs and their businesses, their corporations are so powerful.
The relationship with government is melded to such an extent that we are this close to what would have once been called fascistic organization between business and politics and the government.
Right now, they're so intertwined that I believe that this, when your dad said it was the final election, I think, scarily enough, he might be right.
And he might be right in the wrong way.
Because if he does not win, if the Republicans do not have the sense to surround him and support him and to get everyone to the polls, They're going to have to win by such a margin, it's going to be extraordinary in order to actually take control as a result of an election.
That's what worries me because we have so many people who cannot, for the life of them, get to the point that they understand the urgency of this, the severity of it, the profound choice that we're going to be making right now.
So what are your predictions for 2024 in that race?
What do you think are going to be the deciding issues?
What are going to be the issues that get those people to turn out?
And, you know, the key to winning over, let's call it the, you know, the more apathetic, the more agnostic, apolitical voters to deliver...
I don't even want to call it a MAGA victory because it's just like a victory for just America.
You know, there's nothing about the Democrat agenda that even...
Thinks about that at this point.
But what are going to be those keys, and what do you think happens?
Well, I think, as usual, one of the keys will be the economy, the state of the economy.
I don't think that it's going to be good.
I'll put it that way. We're facing too many areas of dissonance in the economy.
We are looking at a bond market that is unique, historically.
We're looking at a stock market in which you're watching capital flows to Chinese stocks, for God's sakes.
And it's being expedited and, well, facilitated by some of the biggest firms on Wall Street.
They're talking about, look at the business page, the Wall Street Journal, whatever it may be.
They're telling you all about the world and how that plays in.
There's a huge issue.
The markets now are bleeding American capital to communists who mean to dominate the world.
We have allowed Germany to be a mercantile trading post throughout the last 50 years and still do.
You were talking about sending American dollars to Ukraine or to whatever it is.
We're sending money to people who don't need it.
We send money to China.
Yeah, China still gets aid, just so our viewers understand.
China is one of the countries that still gets American aid while we're literally borrowing from them to fund, like, the woke ideology and, you know, transgender programs in Pakistan where that money's being drifted off.
I mean, we're creating billionaires all around the world.
People are skimming this money.
We're giving China money in aid while borrowing from them We'll soon be insurmountable amount of debt on our children and grandchildren after them.
It never ends, but how is it even possible?
I get corporate America sold out, and honestly, the Republican billionaire donor class You know, they're all very America first until, like, their widget costs them a half a cent more.
I mean, we're our own worst enemies, but we do it under the guise of, you know, pretending to be actually America first.
It's why you saw those people jump ship immediately to one of the, you know, rhino Republicans or the neocons.
It's like, oh, you know, we can be America first, but, you know, not...
Not that America first.
We don't want to actually do something that may inconvenience our billions at the expense of the American working class.
And that's a problem. Trump's the only guy that was able to do that and willing to do that.
And look at where their money went.
Look at how much money the Democrats have raised.
It is sickening.
And think about the irresponsibility of that Marxist-Dem party.
Not only the donor class, the whole bunch right now should be ashamed of themselves.
And I mean that literally.
They should get down on their hands and knees and beg forgiveness for the American people.
Because they conspired not only to rig an election and to put in Joe Biden, But they also put in Kamala Harris, two of the most, I think, amazingly dysfunctional people you could think of putting into the two most powerful jobs in the country.
There should be an accounting for that as well.
I hope someday we find out who's responsible by name.
Yeah, well, I think maybe Joe Biden's saving grace is that Kamala Harris is there.
I mean, you know, she, whether rightly or wrongly, you know, checked off enough boxes that it was a dream candidate that she could, you know, she checked off, you know, any box, depending on who she was talking to, she checked off that box.
I think... But once they actually put her in a position and you listen to her speak, they were like, even the Democrats are saying, oh my God, this person can never win.
It's why there's no talk about Kamala Harris as potentially taking over for Joe Biden.
It's, well, what happens if it's not Joe?
Are they going to stick in a Gavin Newsom?
It's not Kamala Harris because they understand that she's incapable of You put her in the rambling incoherence, the insanity that comes out of her mouth, you know, as much as she was their dream candidate, even the Democrats probably have the sense to realize that that one ain't going anywhere.
So it's never a conversation about her, even though she was very clearly chosen to check off a bunch of boxes in the world of identity politics.
Without question. Remember, she had the fewest number of votes of anybody up on that stage in 2020.
And suddenly, Joe Biden decides, hey, you're mine.
We're going to make this together.
And James Clyburn, he also has a lot to account for because he, I think, insists definitely that, yes, I'll support you in South Carolina, Joe Biden, but here we go.
I want Kamala Harris.
The other day, James Clyburn is saying the reason that they're impeaching Joe Biden is because he's a father helping his son.
And the reason that everyone doesn't like Kamala Harris is because she's black and a woman.
It didn't take him about a fifth of a second To play a race card, which he thought would obviously be a trump card.
That's an intended pun.
It's extraordinary how this pathological nonsense just swirls around the nation's capital and throughout the country.
No, it never seems to end, but hopefully people are waking up to it a little bit, Lou.
I really hope that.
Can you tell our audience just a little bit how they can find you about, you know, the Great American Show, what you're doing now, so that they can see that and, you know, again, learn more.
For me, it's about making sure that everyone is exposed to as much of the, let's call it the anti-establishment worldview, the view not dictated by corporate America, frankly, you know, from the Uniparty.
Tell us about that. Well, you're talking my language.
I am about as anti-establishment as I could be without being, I think, an anarchist.
I really am so sick of watching the global elites in this country Destroy this country.
It's one thing if you've got a bunch of 20-year-old kids that are, you know, revolutionaries or whatever, but you're talking about the so-called best and brightest in this country who are just, they're wounding this country every day.
But anyway, to your question, the show is The Great America Show.
It's on every major platform.
And if it's not on those platforms, people shouldn't be watching it anyway.
Well, Lou, I really appreciate it.
Great having you on. I imagine as this year and the primary season and the general election season unfolds, we'll have a lot more to want to talk to you about.
So really appreciate everything that you're doing and just being a great American.
