Hello, everybody. I'm Lou Dobbs. China is now protesting the West sanctions against Russia.

Xi Jinping clearly aligned with his strategic partner, Vladimir Putin. President Biden on

his way this week to attend the NATO summit in Brussels, more military aid to Ukraine, more

sanctions against Russia on the agenda. And the United Nations now says 10 million Ukrainians

have fled their country, a fourth of Ukraine's population. President Biden facing the strongest

attacks yet from Republicans who are demanding investigations of the long suppressed laptop

and its contents, its owner, of course, the president's son, Hunter. This is the Great

America show and welcome. Thanks for being with us. Russian forces are consolidating their

advances throughout Ukraine. They now have surrounded Maripol and are demanding surrender

of the city. While they onslaught and bombardment into a fourth week, the two sides continue

their talks, therefore, from achieving anything substantive. Zelensky wants to meet Putin

face to face. Putin says he's willing to join the talks personally at some point. He

didn't say what his conditions are or what must be done for those face to face talks

to actually occur. As President Biden prepares to head for the NATO summit, he finds himself

the target of increasingly incensed Republicans, many of whom are calling for full investigations

of the Biden family now because of the evidence on Hunter's laptop, because of the intelligence

community's complicity in what was without a doubt, a cover-up led by corporate news outlets,

Facebook, Twitter, and Big Tech. And of course, the FBI that sat on it for two years, a lot

to investigate. Our guest today is bestselling author investigative journalist, senior fellow

at the Hudson Institute, Lee Smith, author of the plot to overthrow the president and

the permanent coup. Lee, thanks for being with us here on the Great America show.

Lou, thank you. Again, for inviting me on. It's always an enormous pleasure and always
