Hello, everybody. I'm Lou Dobbs and welcome to the great America show. Great to have you with us. And we're all about politics today political corruption and the Republican leadership, the Rhino left and their agenda to get as close to the Democrat party is possible and then abandoned the working Americans and their families are great middle class distance themselves from true border security

and borders that suit the corporate is media, the business round table, the Chamber of Commerce and Wall Street all in league with a Marxist left, Dems and their demand for amnesty, white open borders and social programs in the billions for illegals and the duplicity of Republican leaders in the House and Senate, their political corruption includes deceiving all voters for Donald Trump, all voters who will vote Republican because they want this country

turned around prosperity restored and America first policies only in our foreign policy. But you'll hear today the audio tape that proves House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy lied about his support of President Trump lied about January 6th and his alignment with the Rhino's and the radical Dems who are still trying to impeach President Trump and destroy this country.

Today I'll have some special words for Kevin McCarthy and the Republican leaders who support him not only as Minority Leader, but for Speaker of the House if the GOP does succeed in the November midterms with a wave election. Those Republicans on Capitol Hill who know full well that McCarthy is as phony as he needs to be in order to achieve his political ambitions for himself.

And I'll reserve a few thoughts for those who are accomplices and enablers of McCarthyism. McCarthyism is what we call on this podcast the practice of putting Rhino's in positions of GOP leadership that's coming up here today. And now we have with his Peter Swine's intrepid and inspiring investigative reporter author of his most recent bestseller red handed the book that reveals the money's the Biden family as an enterprise receiver.

That enterprise received from China and he's also a president of the government accountability institute senior editor at large at great part news and one great American.

Peter great to have you back with us.

You've authored this new special report on corruption in particular at the commerce department. Now a lot of people are going to be surprised that you focused at least initially on the commerce department. Why?

Yeah, it's always great to be with you Lou. Thanks so much for having me. We wanted to look at commerce because honestly it tends to be dumping ground for political favors.

The commerce department is kind of sleepy very few people pay attention to it. But the fact is it has a lot of power in picking winners and losers in corporate America and also has a strong influence over you know if we're going to put tariffs on foreign countries like China.

A lot of the details there are determined by the commerce department itself and what we found Lou is that this agency that was really set up to kind of protect American business protect American workers make us more competitive around the world.

Make sure that you know trade agreements and rules are being enforced has really become the subject of an extensive lobbying effort that also includes efforts by Beijing to curry favor with executives at that agency by giving sweetheart deals and forging commercial ties with family members.

And you you talk about in this report you talk about elite capture you introduce millions of Americans to the term elite capture which is a strategy by the particularly the Chinese the communist Chinese to basically buy out the the souls of Americans and hold them captive until they're needed and they're needed frequently aren't they.

Yeah that's exactly right Lou I mean you you define it very clearly and this is an over strategy they started doing this first in New Zealand in Australia they've been doing it in the United States for quite a long time and basically what they're looking for is a way to sort of lobotomize America's political leadership I mean some people think our leaders are already lobotomized literally but.

The goal the goal here is to you know find ways to help make American politicians wealthy make sure that they know that it's coming from the hand of Beijing and they usually do it by giving sweetheart deals to family members people like Hunter Biden but also people like Mitch McConnell's family.

And the idea is pretty genius once these political family start getting wealthy and they know that it's coming from the government in China they're going to start looking the other way when China does certain things what they're looking for are not robots you know politicians that do exactly everything they want they know that that makes those politicians not viable politically.

So the way it's defined if you translate it from the Chinese is they're looking for big help with a little bad mouth the little bad mouth is if you want to ding us on the wiggers if you want to talk about human rights if you want to sort of vent your frustration about our trade policies that's fine what what they want is help on the big stuff which is unfettered access to technology to US capital markets and minimal restrictions on their ability to send subsidized goods to the United States.

If you do those things for them they are happy to play ball and make you very wealthy and that's indeed what they've done well amongst those people who are very wealthy to begin with and i'm going to start and people may be surprised to hear me even say this.

But Wilbur Ross the commerce secretary under president trump you raise some startling i think is a fair word connections and business dealings that i don't think pass the smell test i don't know whether they're illegal frankly but they sure do look bad let's start with his shipping business.

Yeah i mean Wilbur Ross has number of investments but he's involved with two shipping companies and the co owners of those shipping companies happen to be Chinese state owned firms and so people would ask but why is this relevant well it's relevant when a president trump was in office.

He did a I think a lot of great work in trying to reorient our approach towards China recognizing their predatory practices in the area of economics the military sphere etc so part of his strategy was to erect tariffs those tariffs were enforced by the commerce department which was run by Wilbur Ross.

If you go back and look what happened the commerce department really loosened those restrictions they created exemptions the exemptions included some of Wilbur Ross's companies he really gutted what president trump was trying to do that's not what you want your own commerce secretary to do.
