1:18
Everybody I'm Lou Dobbs and welcome to
1:20
the Great America show! Thanks for being
1:23
with this! It turns out Joe Biden
1:25
isn't the only Marxist him and D
1:27
C who is well getting a little
1:29
slower. Take. A Listen to Senate
1:32
Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. Talking.
1:34
To the American people with a straight
1:36
face and telling them Joe Biden is
1:38
mental acuity. Is. Great and
1:40
any suggestion otherwise is right
1:42
wing propaganda. I'd talk
1:44
to President Biden, you know, regularly off,
1:47
sometimes several times in a week. I'm
1:49
usually several times in a week is
1:51
mental. Acuity is great. It's fine, it's
1:53
as good as it's been over the
1:56
years. I've been speaking to him for
1:58
thirty years since we. worked on the
2:00
Brady bill in the assault weapons ban when I was
2:02
a young
2:04
congressman and
2:08
uh... he's he's he's fine all
2:10
this right-wing propaganda that he's mental
2:12
acuity is declined is wrong he's
2:14
going to win the election because he has a
2:16
great record because uh...
2:19
more and more americans are seeing that
2:21
record if Schumer seriously
2:23
believes this president isn't a minute and
2:25
impaired he might be right there with
2:27
him don't you think our
2:29
guest today is alex jones the alex
2:32
jones and alex it's uh... always great
2:34
to see you it's been a long
2:36
while but we're delighted to have you here
2:38
and to have a chance to have a little talk
2:41
about what in the world is going
2:43
on in america i'm
2:46
glad you raised that up front because you sent me a
2:48
few questions but you didn't add that one and that's what
2:50
i was gonna say what is
2:52
it like when you add the top
2:54
show in the english speaking world we're
2:56
not you know trying to
2:59
be first place here but a bigger show the tucker out on fox
3:02
when you're on cnn reaching ten million people
3:04
a day conservatively predicting
3:09
twenty years ago you know eighteen
3:11
years ago everything that's happened
3:13
so our job is much easier as
3:15
patriots that are anti-globalist i
3:18
mean you pioneered on main street media the first
3:20
person ever break all this so i was gonna
3:22
ask you when you asked me questions what is
3:24
it like now to now
3:26
be here when the one must enjoy
3:28
a little girl sent all sound just
3:31
like you did twenty-something years ago well
3:33
it sounds like music to me because uh... i i
3:36
didn't hear any uh... by any like
3:38
voices like mine so i well i would
3:41
say i will preserve that you were
3:44
amazing throughout your career you started
3:47
uh... is a as skeptic of all
3:49
that is establishment and uh... you know
3:51
my hands off to you every dear
3:54
but i was out in the wilderness i mean i was out in
3:56
the wilderness i was a bush leaguer when
3:58
i was doing a youth And
4:00
it showed that freedom is popular.
4:03
You have the number one show, as I
4:05
said, covering freedom just like all the
4:07
top shows now are populist
4:10
anti-globalist. So I think that's a very
4:12
positive thing about the awakening that we've
4:14
reached. I've been a populist
4:16
all along. I've always said, you know, populist,
4:20
they say it like it's a dirty word. In
4:22
my view, it means people. And if you're
4:24
not for the people of this country,
4:26
who the hell are you for? So
4:28
if you don't call yourself a populist, I want
4:30
you to say exactly what you are, what you
4:32
do, because you sound like an
4:35
enemy of this great republic. And
4:37
I felt that way from the outset, as you suggest.
4:40
And I know this, that there are enough
4:43
voices. You were talking about Tucker and everyone
4:46
out there. I am
4:48
so delighted to have people with
4:50
strong and bright, principled
4:52
voices out talking about what matters
4:55
to this country. That's
4:57
a joy to me to watch it,
4:59
to still be part of it. I'm thrilled to be
5:02
still in the arena fighting. You know, I may not
5:04
land as many punches, but I sure do. Well,
5:07
I guess I'd land a few, but it's harder to take
5:09
if I'll put it that way. Go
5:11
ahead, Alex. Go ahead. No,
5:15
I just know when I'm coming on with you, but I
5:17
want to talk about you, because when I look at who
5:19
in the last 30, 40 years
5:21
has had the biggest effect against this
5:24
anti-American agenda. It's Ron Paul,
5:26
it's Lou Dobbs, and then kind of we all came
5:28
later. And I'm going to tell you what, we're Tucker.
5:30
I'm friends with Tucker. I love Tucker. He's amazing. Hopefully
5:33
he'll have you on his show soon. He should.
5:36
But I just look back to the
5:38
people that were telling me about this
5:40
first. My grandfather's, both my mother's dad
5:43
and my father's dad, they weren't on air. But
5:46
they were both aware of this because
5:48
they were learned, educated men. So
5:51
I just realized that it's like the rock in the
5:53
pond. So we can see the big waves
5:55
now out from the edge of it. But
5:57
I'm just saying Lou Dobbs was one of the original big
5:59
waves. rocks thrown in the pond. So, uh,
6:02
you know, I don't care about Hollywood people. I don't
6:04
care about sports people, none of that, but I do
6:06
get a little bit giddy talking to you because I'm
6:09
smart enough to look back and say, if there
6:11
wasn't Lou Dobbs for all
6:13
those years on air, uh, you
6:16
know, the only person in mainstream media saying, and we
6:18
would be in a lot of trouble today and we're
6:20
still in a lot of trouble, we're in a lot
6:22
better position thanks to you. So I know it's a
6:24
little bit, uh, little bit, uh,
6:26
about me groveling here, but I'm not, we
6:29
need to recognize the people that were, you
6:31
know, trailblazers and you're a Maverick brother. Well,
6:34
thank you. And I take that as high praise
6:36
and coming from you, uh, you know, I, I
6:38
was, uh, you were talking about being out in
6:40
the, the, the Bush, you were, you
6:42
were only in the Bush because people were scared
6:44
to death of you in that establishment. And they
6:46
were putting you back as far as they could,
6:48
as long as they could. And you broke through
6:50
and, uh, uh, hallelujah brother. And
6:53
it's, and it's like you say, it
6:55
is a, it's a great
6:57
gathering. These voices now, uh,
6:59
to hear them taking up the
7:01
issues that matter instead of the, the
7:03
Pablum of the mainstream national corporate
7:05
legacy, whatever you want to call
7:08
Marxist media, uh, people are
7:10
wising up to it in a hurry. And
7:12
it's, uh, it's wonderful to see. And the
7:14
question only now is, is
7:16
it, uh, soon enough, uh, because we're sitting
7:19
here 10 months away from an election. Uh,
7:21
it's, I, I truly believe it. Uh, you know, a
7:23
lot of people say it's existential. It's all of this.
7:26
I think it's our last best chance, uh,
7:28
period. And we got to, we got to
7:30
move ahead. I want to
7:32
ask you back in those days, if you
7:34
could have ever have imagined, uh, in
7:37
your earliest days that this country would
7:39
have a 2000 mile long border
7:41
that they turned over to the Mexican
7:44
drug cartels, there's no middle man. Biden
7:46
just handed it over to the cartels
7:48
and the border patrol is afraid to
7:50
get near it, uh, the, uh, the
7:52
national guard has to on their side
7:54
edge up to it. But
7:56
No one is dealing with the reality
7:58
that is the car. Hells Control
8:01
Mexico and our border. Agents
8:04
total worldwide. Are you know bad? Twenty
8:06
some years go near exposing in the
8:08
last decade on Fox Business all adds.
8:11
It was a problem but but but
8:13
not but other fifty times or more
8:15
like to have now is is road
8:17
warrior bizarre. You don't have to go
8:19
looking for smugglers or kids we loaded
8:21
mans wealthier parents. You go there freeman
8:23
thirty minutes and you are just I
8:26
know I I'm. Dizzy.
8:28
Or stone death by how insane it
8:30
is. And and I'm flying to the
8:32
border and being groped to get there
8:35
and grub to fly back. And
8:37
is illustrates how our side as is
8:39
all the security airport. But. In
8:42
the border is completely wide open and the
8:44
border patrol. To. Due to their
8:46
brain. Irritation has been
8:48
turned into a facilitator of the
8:50
crime and it just shows the
8:52
social contract broken. We know the
8:54
Nc O's the Your Spouse or
8:56
Fox Business without your troubles. Finally
8:59
homeowners are seeing these Democrats. We
9:01
see homeowners to houses, illegals, they're
9:03
not doing other. Dude is there
9:05
are some in business for democrat
9:07
voters to brand new democrat voters
9:09
but also how them from Forty
9:11
Fifty. Thousand. Dollars apiece
9:13
a year. In their house
9:15
South this is a business as Cloud
9:18
and Paemen. Will collapse
9:20
the contrary and that's exactly was designed
9:22
to do so. That's why I have
9:24
a sickening see. Like you know I'm
9:26
optimistic consuming awakenings like as know what
9:28
you said tell its crunch time isn't
9:30
tuck them the of the danger with
9:32
a nice. And really feel that
9:35
America is that the crossroads right else
9:37
was the most portal actually and in
9:39
modern history. Problems for to watch him
9:41
in world history that has to reporters.
9:43
As you know elections are only a
9:46
few hundred years old. The modern world
9:48
stuff is free. set of the little
9:50
test whether or something and a zip
9:52
ties with his is good is truly
9:55
amazing that work this point has for.
9:58
it is amazing and were We're talking with
10:00
the amazing Alex Jones. We're going to take
10:02
just a quick break. We're going to be
10:04
right back. We're talking with
10:07
Alex Jones about the things that matter and
10:09
matters most. Of course, this country,
10:11
the United States of America. You don't hear
10:13
people say United States of America a lot,
10:15
do you? You don't even hear
10:17
them talk about the United States anymore. They'll sort
10:19
of whisper America,
10:22
but they won't. That was my
10:24
Biden impression, by the way, Alex. We'll
10:26
be right back with the great
10:28
Alex Jones. Folks,
10:32

10:45
be. We saw what happened in 2020 when
10:47

We're still dependent on China and other countries
10:51
for more than 90% of all our pharmaceuticals
10:55

12:10
turn to a reality that is
12:12
and the national like capital or
12:14
the nation's capital a the swamp,
12:16
the open sewer, whatever people want
12:18
to describe it's the truth is
12:20
it's a land of coercion and
12:22
black male and absolute raw political
12:24
force up and in. As a
12:26
whistle blower who's a guest on
12:28
the show or a great deal
12:30
My friend by said point blank
12:32
to bid for some. I talked
12:35
to him that he. Knew there
12:37
was a problem when the in
12:39
essay was spying on Barack Obama
12:41
in two thousand and four. He
12:44
knew there was a problem when
12:46
supreme court justices were being surprised
12:49
that this as being surveilled a
12:51
by the an essay and he
12:53
became a whistle blower. A To
12:56
is great cost into his great
12:58
credit. These agree patriots are We
13:00
right now are facing total surveillance.
13:03
We are facing a total loss
13:05
of constitutional. Rights because the American
13:07
people are taking it on. How
13:10
much more can we take? the
13:12
house? Or absolute I.
13:14
I look at Tucker for years ago. He
13:16
gets a call from the an essay and
13:18
you're being spied on. He
13:20
talks about it. They don't and I
13:22
am. Atlanta Wash Symposiums Yeah, we've got
13:25
your private messages and we've got transcripts
13:27
your phone calls. Sad as a huge
13:29
felony. Against a journalist. And.
13:31
Nixon. Was. Removed from
13:33
office for far less. And so
13:36
there's this emboldened. Arrogance
13:38
to all of it. and. I
13:41
don't like Obama but he shouldn't mean spot
13:43
on by the and I say and then
13:45
we have probably noticed a tribe. And
13:48
then and then problem of presidential
13:50
elected trump and then applied what's
13:52
the right terms of nominee Trump
13:55
and and and then and then.
13:58
He was the President's But the point
14:00
is the entire time. They. Were
14:02
spying on him. Trying to
14:04
find something. Said. They.
14:07
Didn't find his wife was Saturday President
14:09
legs for president. They have to fake
14:11
impeachments and the rush to get an
14:13
animal. Watch him to marshal hearings. Six.
14:16
Years ago. And they're just
14:18
flat out ourselves as a Russian agents. Ever
14:20
been to Russia that involves a nice you
14:22
know nothing about Russia when it comes to
14:24
being parents but urges say on a Russian
14:26
agents all of Trump's supporters russian agents because
14:28
they're the global as that are selling out
14:30
time for it. And so they
14:33
need a project on the Us that
14:35
we're the unfaithful once him so he
14:37
other general public knows is not true
14:39
but they use that designation. To.
14:42
Spy on us and it's totally
14:44
illegal. And. Soviet were kind
14:46
of already inside. The. Tyranny
14:48
to completely the the question is, how high
14:50
are they going to turn it up? To
14:53
you you're right in are just
14:55
were of do they stop if
14:58
they stop at all We are
15:00
right now and the national mainstream
15:02
media's will not acknowledge. That.
15:04
These Marxists who control the
15:06
Democrat party, the Mark Dems
15:08
who are the masters of
15:10
this puppet President Biden. They
15:12
control the entire Federal government.
15:15
This. Is this is no joke anymore?
15:17
This is not a party that's
15:19
interested in politics. This is a
15:21
party that's interested in Dominion and
15:23
they mean to possess power in
15:26
perpetuity And me while we have
15:28
a we have a fight over
15:30
the national or the Republican National
15:32
Committee or were having a fights
15:34
over elect tours and and stuff
15:36
to set the margins with. The
15:38
reality is that government of ours
15:40
is in the hands of a
15:42
foreign power. That Foreign power? I
15:44
don't mean. In terms of geography
15:46
I mean in terms of foreign
15:48
in the sense that it is
15:50
alien to everything this country stands
15:52
for. The people who are the
15:54
marxist dems who control that are
15:56
aliens unto themselves and to the
15:58
rest of his. Contrary, we are
16:01
looking at a gesture at a desperate
16:03
or inflection point in our history and
16:05
it's of whether or not we have
16:07
the guts to stand up to the
16:10
conflict that is surely comics. Will it
16:12
be open conflict? I don't know. but
16:14
it will be conflict and there will
16:16
be pain and there will be loss
16:19
and there will be sacrificed. Our and
16:21
there's no way around it and people
16:23
have to steal themselves to that. And
16:26
I don't know if the American people
16:28
have that in their spine, right? Now.
16:31
Unless right? live and your separate. I
16:33
learned so much from you. We.
16:35
Think of Russia or China and are certainly adversaries.
16:37
China's when we out of control and evil and
16:40
hugely one of the democratic party. Him and people
16:42
like my for coddled on republican side so you
16:44
it's a huge real threat. But. That
16:46
the the globalists, the leftist, the marxists.
16:48
they really hate America even when they
16:51
run as they still see it because
16:53
I'm a christian background because it did
16:55
opposed the Soviet Union of things as
16:57
the enemy. And they are
16:59
the main threat and I am at.
17:01
They are like a foreign government. They
17:03
are a fifth column. They.
17:05
Really are an alien groups to our
17:08
country? Black Rock's in the big banks
17:10
and the money and thus Hollywood of
17:12
the whole woke saying is just a
17:14
corporate. Told
17:16
with all these minions literally worships
17:18
the contrary and is bigger threat
17:21
a shiny As I'd say, it's
17:23
twenty percent of friends. And
17:25
and Russia's temper sell a threat. But. That's
17:27
a thirty percent of thread. Is.
17:29
Our own domestic enemies, that of openness
17:31
up to Islamic invasions and a criminal
17:33
invasion that of run our dollar down
17:36
or that are similar in of a
17:38
mentally ill people. In. Charge
17:40
Flying Airplanes. I mean, they
17:42
are, Admittedly, Trying
17:45
to bring now me all structured. Digits.
17:48
Problem And I'm unsure Clark feminists is
17:50
on steroids. What? What's crazy is
17:52
there in the house? Sit there undermining that
17:55
they're going to be destroyed by it. So
17:57
that are. So what are the Oswald? Them
18:00
for to sick ideologies. That.
18:02
That you really are mentally ill at and
18:04
I don't think they think two, three, four
18:06
steps ahead. I agree with you. I
18:09
don't know. Because. There's a big
18:11
awakening happening. the average conservative or populace a
18:13
christian now knows. Wait, we're in trouble. But.
18:15
I still don't think they knew what you
18:17
do. Twenty years ago, Hundred forty years ago
18:19
of just out. Diabolical.
18:22
For Sears and I just don't know
18:24
the even our best people realize that
18:26
were two minutes to midnight and that
18:29
this is this is the crisis not
18:31
as of America would civilization because of
18:33
the global was get full control and
18:35
they can eradicate the idea of American
18:37
freedom. Then all we have as call
18:40
Schwab and Bill Gates's ideology of scientific
18:42
tyranny and so that's why they're at
18:44
war with us because that even though
18:46
some for superpower, the freedom we generated
18:48
that these the the productivity it's still
18:51
it's existential. To them because they want
18:53
to get rid of any ember of
18:55
freedom that they believed read night later
18:57
and display some. Vivid.
19:00
Or your as you're absolutely
19:02
right that if you look
19:04
at as in terms of
19:06
economics were looking at a
19:08
country which are are large
19:10
corporations are the sex industry
19:12
itself a massive capital of
19:14
valuations. Three trillion if you're
19:16
are a bit easier to
19:18
through or to go by.
19:20
Earth's Amazon Apple were tossing
19:22
trillions of dollars and three
19:24
your torture. Almost Ten Ten
19:26
trillion dollars in three companies
19:28
are. that's. Unheard of That they
19:31
is the idea that this country
19:33
can somehow survived or without being
19:35
stepped on by these elephants Are
19:37
we are the Ui or the
19:39
that the minions we are that
19:41
de minimis or if fragments floating
19:43
in space and they are are
19:45
the all powerful and we have
19:47
to find some way and which
19:49
to bring to heal the idea
19:52
or that does this marks as
19:54
government of ours is going to
19:56
be responses to the to the
19:58
people to the consent. Of the guy. I
20:00
remember you doing business knows whatever
20:02
it was two thousand or whatever.
20:05
And you are covering the breakup of
20:07
Microsoft that it was a monopoly on.
20:09
It was corrupted. deserved it's I look
20:12
at Bill Gates's corruption. other services supporters,
20:14
a layperson. It's nothing compared to the
20:16
three big elements of it. You just
20:18
mentioned Apples and and say Spoken and
20:20
you know Amazon and and Do Losers'
20:22
for Elephants And Martha Hamid. And
20:25
and microsoft as bad. I mean,
20:27
it isn't the answer trust busting, but there's
20:29
no energy for that now. If. There's
20:32
no energy and less so here
20:34
Elon musk and you are a
20:36
disruptor and you do not a
20:38
heel to the of to the
20:40
evil to the principal narrative of
20:42
these marxist stamps and in sodas
20:44
you've got the Fcc, you got
20:46
the F T C, and every
20:48
every every see you you. Have
20:51
a right after year and he'll be
20:53
performing before the Fcc. I think that
20:56
sweet spot that's where we are. We're
20:58
talking with Alex Jones, were talking about
21:00
whether or not to scrape Republic will
21:03
survive and it's up to you when
21:05
itself. Up to our to make it
21:07
will all tried to do our part. I
21:09
am sure we'll be right back Say with.
21:13
Lou Dobbs here armed. A
21:15
lot of that. lets you
21:17
all know that the program
21:20
Lose Arms Denied has returned
21:22
in the air. That's right,
21:24
Mood, Arms to light his
21:26
back. realize each and every
21:29
weeknight at Seven Pm Eastern
21:31
and Six Pm Central on
21:33
rumble.com/lou Dobbs. That's rumble.com/lou Dobbs.
21:35
Oh, he'll be joining us
21:38
from his arms tonight. As
21:40
our final say, this country's
21:42
as homely. we're
21:50
talking with alex jones and alex
21:52
the idea that we have a
21:55
two thousand mile border is as
21:57
as i said that is why
21:59
open as long as you're paying
22:01
off the cartels because it's their
22:03
property now, not America's, not Mexico.
22:05
And by the way, the cartels
22:07
also are in charge of Lopez
22:09
Obrador, the president of Mexico and
22:12
everyone in his government. So where
22:14
do we stand and how in the
22:17
world is it there's not anyone in
22:19
this country, it seems to me, really
22:21
grasping the desperate moment that
22:23
we live in. And the American people
22:25
seem to be just sucking air through
22:28
their teeth waiting for somebody to say,
22:30
you know, maybe we should be a little outraged at
22:32
this. Well, look at the $90 million spending
22:35
package to Ukraine and
22:37
to Israel that they call a border package. And
22:40
I think they'll pass to the house. I hope they
22:42
don't. And the American people do get that there's
22:45
billions of NGOs to pay for more illegals.
22:48
And it basically gives Biden the power to even open
22:50
the border up more. And they see
22:52
right through it. So, but they feel powerless.
22:54
I mean, just like you and I, at
22:56
least we have platforms to warn people and
22:59
we have border patrol that are whistleblowing and we have
23:01
all this happening. But I
23:03
hate to use the World War Two analogy
23:05
or maybe an Eastern Europe analogy
23:08
after World War Two where Stalin's tanks
23:10
are rolling into your country and it's
23:12
wrong and it's terrible. You want it to stop,
23:14
but it's really happening. And so I think in
23:16
a way, because our government's been
23:18
seized, we're spectators to this. And
23:20
one of the biggest hopes is Trump
23:23
was wildly popular and not a perfect
23:25
person, none of us are, but would
23:27
shut this down overnight. It's
23:29
just fighting with nine
23:31
months left to try to get in there with
23:33
all these false indictments. This is
23:35
way better than any football game and sudden
23:38
death over time or basketball and overtime because
23:40
that stuff's fun and I enjoy it myself,
23:42
but it doesn't matter who wins the game
23:44
at the end of the day. This is
23:46
everything. This is our children. I've
23:48
got kids old enough now, but they have
23:50
grandchildren. I know you're a father and all
23:52
the rest of it. And it's just to
23:54
watch the establishment recklessly
23:57
flush all this security and freedom
24:00
down the toilet for a perceived
24:02
short-term bottom line really
24:04
shows they're disconnected. They're not the elitist
24:06
they say they are. They're not the
24:08
aristocrats they claim because an aristocrat is
24:10
not perfect. If you've got a ruling
24:13
class, they're supposed to hold up society.
24:15
They're supposed to try to build stability.
24:18
And instead, I know we've got
24:20
all these lawyers and politicians and
24:22
think tanks that just think they're
24:24
invincible. They go back to a great movie made about
24:27
the Deepwater Horizon that was based on
24:29
the transcripts of the
24:32
lawsuit and the British Decrullium criminal
24:34
trial. And so the
24:36
movie with Mark Wahlberg and Kurt Russell's
24:38
ex-law, we've seen it, but
24:40
it's based pretty much as close as you can get to what
24:43
really happened. And they get a
24:45
call from BP's headquarters in the US
24:47
in Houston. And they tell
24:49
the head engineer, the head of the plant, yeah, we're
24:51
spending 30 million a day to drill this super deep
24:53
well. We don't think we need to dump concrete on
24:55
the hole. He goes, let me do an
24:57
equation. He comes back to him and he says, if we
25:00
hit gas at any decent level, it
25:03
will blow up the plant.
25:05
They said, well, we're going to, by saving
25:07
$300 million in the next couple of weeks,
25:09
not putting concrete in the hole to pressurize
25:12
it, we're going to leverage that
25:14
mega extra billion dollars so we don't care. You're
25:16
ordered to do it. And
25:18
so the engineer said, we'll do
25:21
a stress test and just test what you said for
25:23
a few minutes. They did a stress test,
25:25
didn't blow up, turned it off. Just
25:27
the stress test hours later, blew it
25:29
up and killed a bunch of people
25:31
and the biggest wall spill in history.
25:33
And I don't think I know, I've
25:36
talked to a lot of insiders, it's
25:38
that corporate attitude of people in London
25:40
and Houston telling engineers on an oil
25:42
drilling platform with 40 foot thousand deep
25:44
well into the biggest reserve they ever
25:46
found. You don't need to follow
25:48
math. You just go ahead
25:50
and do whatever you want. And I
25:52
think that's the perfect allegory on an
25:54
even bigger scale of where we are.
25:57
We have reached lunatic level bizarnas from
25:59
the ruling class. us. No
26:01
question about it. And anyone who pays
26:03
attention to the stock market, for example,
26:06
has to be struck by the fact
26:08
that we're $34 trillion in debt. We've
26:11
got $2 trillion in annual
26:14
deficits. We have another
26:17
almost $10 trillion in external
26:19
debt. Then we also
26:21
have the Federal Reserve with another
26:23
$8 trillion on its balance sheet
26:26
that has to be worked off.
26:28
And meanwhile, you look over to
26:30
CNBC or Fox Business or whomever,
26:32
and you see these sell
26:36
side personalities saying, you know, you
26:38
got to buy, you got to
26:41
be X, B, Y, Chinese stocks
26:43
by the dozens. They're
26:45
pushing American investment and
26:48
savings into the Chinese
26:50
economy, which is madness
26:52
in of itself. It's
26:55
remarkable. Which is as you know, is imploding. I
26:58
mean, I'm not a business expert like you, but
27:00
I watch it. I'm like, wait, China's imploding. Why
27:02
am I watching CNBC? And it's almost all that
27:04
a China like I'm on a rocket side this
27:06
loop. But am I right? That's really bad advice.
27:08
I mean, this makes Kramer look like a good
27:10
guy. Well,
27:13
I, you know, Kramer, Kramer's a good guy. But
27:15
the fact is, he's also a corporatist guy.
27:18
And that's his world. And that's understandable. But
27:20
here's the real deal. This is the world
27:22
we all live in. And it matters where
27:25
we put our money. And it matters where
27:27
we invest our money. And it matters where
27:29
we put our plants because the simplest truth
27:31
that is in manufacturing is
27:33
that the greatest innovation, the
27:36
greatest inventions have to
27:38
be in proximity to
27:40
markets and the plants that
27:43
fabricate whatever the product may be,
27:45
whether it's a car, whether it
27:47
is advanced technology. And then, no,
27:49
no, you can have the best technology ever. But if you don't
27:51
have infrastructure to do it, you don't have it. And
27:54
if you don't have it in proximity to
27:56
your market, you're even dumber. And guess what?
27:58
You hear those, you know, that crying. That's
28:00
all those people who invested in those global
28:03
supply chains that screw up nearly every business
28:05
in this country. We're paying a horrible price
28:07
for it. And we're a more dependent nation
28:09
as a result. So let me ask
28:11
you though, I mean, I see what's happening in China. It looks
28:13
really bad. I know that'll drag us
28:15
down partially. We're pivoting to India, but how
28:19
can they be on CNBC and Bloomberg advising
28:21
people to go to China? I'm
28:23
not the big business guru like you, but that sounds
28:26
like really bad advice. Well, it's
28:29
not only, you know, it's just advice.
28:31
And the fact is if you're a corporatist,
28:34
it's wonderful advice. If you're a populist, it
28:36
sucks. I mean, let's be straight forward about
28:38
it. It's a terrible thing. Not for this
28:40
country, not to even be having the conversation
28:43
about building plants as Donald
28:46
Trump said, when he said he's going to bring back
28:48
all the outsourced jobs, all of the plants back
28:50
to America. There's so many out there. It's going
28:52
to take years to bring them home. But if
28:54
we don't, we're going to pay an
28:56
even heavier price. So
28:59
let me ask you this. Did I know you're interviewing me, but it's
29:01
true. You're smart. I mean, when comes the business, I'm
29:03
totally here. What is your, what is your
29:06
debt reckoning? Cause I'm an airman. So my show, you told me during
29:08
the break and cut, come in here in a couple of days. What
29:10
is your debt reckoning? Cause I'm trying to
29:12
tell my family they're, they're concerned. We, I
29:14
don't, I'm pretty smart. I don't know what's
29:16
going to happen financially. That's the one area
29:18
I'm pretty good at other predictions, but I'm like
29:21
a blind bad when it comes to finance and
29:23
the economy and the federal reserve and inflation. I
29:25
mean, what do you, and you said a
29:27
summation really things going on, Ludops. Well
29:30
in summation and
29:33
you're ending this with a, with a very good
29:36
question. And the reality is no one knows the
29:38
answer to it because the complexity
29:40
of this globalist economy that we've
29:42
constructed, uh, the derivatives
29:45
alone are exponentially, uh, greater
29:47
than the physical economy. And
29:49
the physical economy is
29:52
right now there's a veil between,
29:54
a veil, a curtain, a maybe
29:56
even an iron curtain between investors
29:58
and savers. taxpayers
30:01
and working people
30:04
and the financial
30:06
structure that is the lifeblood of it all.
30:09
It is right now such a complicated
30:11
economy for example in China we
30:13
don't know if their GDP goes up 5% or
30:16
10% whatever they say that's what it is because
30:19
there is no clarity and right now there
30:21
is no clarity on what they are saying
30:23
there's such a black box with derivatives in
30:25
China that's what it looks like
30:27
to me is like what's saying back when fried
30:29
or anybody they don't even know the Federal Reserve's
30:31
like oh it places down no it's up oh
30:34
we're in a race race lower to me it
30:36
looks like they don't know what they're doing. They
30:40
know what they're doing they just don't
30:42
care about the consequences and that's the
30:45
chief difference and by the way that
30:47
sounds like a political economy doesn't because
30:49
our politicians are thinking the same way
30:51
as the oligarchs and the corporatists and
30:53
that they're backing up their investments in
30:55
China other places at the
30:57
detriment of Americans. Oftentimes
31:01
with our question and certainly to their
31:03
own benefit but that's the beauty of
31:06
capitalism raw unfettered capitalism laissez-faire
31:08
capitalism Adam Fassett. They don't take
31:10
no responsibility for the consequences of
31:13
your action so long as they
31:15
drive profits. A true
31:18
capitalist takes responsibility and understands
31:20
the impact of society and
31:23
to all of his stakeholders or her stakeholders
31:25
and that is that was that was
31:27
America 1980 1990. Henry Ford was not unleashed. I'm
31:33
interrupted. Sorry go ahead. No you
31:36
were saying 1980 unleashed say it again. Well
31:39
I'm saying to you that we had
31:41
a compassionate conservatism we had a concerned
31:45
capitalism and a
31:47
responsible capitalism. What we're witnessing today
31:50
is a mad rush
31:52
to unexpected unknown and
31:54
unpredictable consequences. Take for
31:57
example the investments in China. It
32:00
could be a black hole. It could also be a fountain
32:03
of capital. We don't know the answer. Everyone
32:06
pretends they do. We take
32:08
our artificial intelligence. We don't know
32:11
whether the extension of artificial intelligence
32:13
is an extraordinarily efficient and utopian
32:15
world for all of us in
32:17
it, or whether there will
32:19
be no room for us in any
32:21
of what is transhumanistly walking. And
32:26
a world that is dominated by machines
32:28
rather than something cranked called a human.
32:32
Absolutely, it's just an incredible moment to
32:35
be alive. And it makes
32:38
my head spin because there's so many, like you said,
32:40
so many variables going
32:43
into it. And it seems like the
32:45
establishment only thinks first or second order.
32:48
They're not thinking out further what it's gonna do. Yeah,
32:51
and they also, and
32:53
I've just been given a signal that
32:55
this is your last question on your
32:57
show. A
32:59
lot of time. But the reality is
33:01
that right now, this is a country
33:04
with so many problems, desperate problems in
33:06
terms of how we're going to live.
33:08
And you mentioned your children and mine
33:10
and grandchildren in my case. You
33:13
know, we have a great investment in
33:15
their prospects and their future and this
33:17
nation's, I think destiny is
33:19
the way I look at this country's future. It
33:21
is a destiny. But only if
33:24
we ourselves live up to the
33:26
principles of our founders and
33:28
those philosophers and patriots
33:30
who made it possible. Alex
33:33
Jones, I wanna get graded
33:35
on my last answer. I insist
33:37
you've been asking all the, I have to get an
33:39
A, it's A through F. Well,
33:42
I'm interesting, but you're even more interesting.
33:44
It's true. And I'm gonna air this on
33:46
my show and you need to come on my show as soon as you can.
33:48
It's been 10 years. Dut
33:50
level, just past the business expert
33:52
and journalist, talk show host and
33:54
grandpa. When I look at my
33:56
children and they're getting old enough to get together
33:58
and you know, happy. get married and have
34:01
kids. It makes me physically sick because I
34:03
love them so much and they're the only
34:05
investor that matters. And I just
34:07
gut level looking at everything. Trump's not perfect,
34:09
but I can just feel Trump is going
34:11
to protect our future. Just gut level, not
34:13
as intellectual. I just want Trump. Because
34:15
at the end of the day, we have all the math,
34:17
the numbers, he's a good guy, he means well, he agrees
34:20
with us on most things. But gut
34:22
level, obviously better than Michelle
34:24
Obama or Gavin Newsom or
34:27
Biden or any of them. We need Trump.
34:30
Gut level, do you think Trump can make it through all
34:32
this and get in? A and B, what
34:34
can we do to get him in? Well,
34:37
the answer is he has to get in. He
34:40
is committed to that. I wish that more
34:42
Americans were as committed as he to
34:44
his leadership and to this great
34:47
nation. The MAGA
34:49
world, all of us deplorables, America
34:52
first, we're going to be there. But we've got to
34:54
do even more than just vote for him. We've got
34:56
to be part of our community. We've
34:59
got to be in those precincts and we've got
35:01
to be watching and we've got to be doing
35:03
and we've got to be telling anybody who doesn't
35:05
want our eyes on them, go
35:07
to hell. I'll be right here
35:09
watching over our democracy. And
35:12
you just step aside. That's where
35:14
we have to be. And from
35:16
there, I think we start to see excellent
35:18
results if we are living our lives in
35:21
our communities and taking charge of our communities
35:23
rather than letting this
35:25
world wash over us in terms
35:27
of big questions and nonsense spewed
35:29
by the propagandists that we call
35:32
a government spokesman.
35:35
Well, I know one thing's for sure in closing, thanks for having
35:37
me on, is that we're not
35:39
living in boring times. Anybody
35:41
that says I'm bored is not paying
35:43
attention. We are in extremely dangerous
35:46
but also very opportune times,
35:48
as the Chinese say, may live
35:50
in interesting times. That's a double meaning. Lou Dobbs, thank
35:52
you so much for having me on. Love you to
35:54
death, man. Thanks to Alex
35:56
Jones and thank you everybody for being with us.
