Hello everybody and welcome to The Great America Show. It's great to have you with us on another beautiful day in America. John Thune has finally done it. You know, today, earlier today, that he's finally bringing the Save Act to the Senate floor next week, but there's some stipulations. Yeah, that's right. They're going to have to get 60 votes to get there. Miriam Possible. Take a listen. This President, later today, we will finish up the 21st century Road to Housing Act, the
latest piece of legislation in Republicans' affordability agenda. And next week, I will be bringing the Save America Act to the floor, and we'll be having a full and robust debate. So Mr. President, what is the Save America Act? It is a package of common sense policies, the kind of common sense policies that should get an automatic yes vote from literally every member of this body. At the core of the Save America Act is the requirement that individuals provide proof of citizenship to register to vote, and then show an idea when they go to the polls. In other words, it would require Americans to demonstrate that they're eligible to vote, and that they are who they say they are when they go to do so. Not to keep using the word common sense. But it's pretty common sense, right? We require photo ID for a whole lot of things in this country, for obvious reasons.
Getting on a plane, show your official government issued photo ID. Go to the doctor, same thing, provide your government issued photo ID, plus your insurance card. So all those things, and he goes on to bother about it, but he won't get rid of the filibuster. They've got to get the 60 votes, and we know, damn well, that we're not getting 60 votes because we don't even have the full Republican votes, which now, since he's not killing the filibuster, something tells me that they may just have every Republican on board, maybe just to save face, because that's how it works. When the Republicans know or the Democrats know what Bill is going to pass or fail, they'll all get on board to say, oh, listen, I supported it when it comes time for reelection. I was there to support it. Of course, I'm in favor of the Save Act. Of course, I'm in favor of election integrity. Of course, I'm in favor of all that good stuff. But the Democrats are going to have to want to defend it now, unless, of course, Thun decides to be a Republican, and decides to be mag, and decides to be American first, and kills
the filibuster, like President Trump has been calling for for the last six months. Speaking of President Trump, President Trump spoke last night on his way back from Kentucky talking a little foreign policy. President Trump says he's been briefed on the sleeper cells that we're being told about now, or here in America, for my ran. He says it's not to worry about it. The case tried to hit us bad. Have you been briefed about how many a ran sleeper cells there could be inside the US right now? I have been, and a lot of people came in through Biden with a stupid open border, but we know where most of them are. We've got to hire all of them, I think, if it doesn't, they came in through the open border policies of sleepy Joe Biden, one of the worst, the worst president in the history of our country, and we've got to rise on all of them. But the worst self is being prosecuted at a level that nobody's seen before. I think it's pretty, it's pretty amazing to watch.
President Trump was asked about the straight-of-harm moves, as we've been told over the last few days, at the Iranians, and placing some mimes across the street to harm civilian boats from passing through. We're just riding free-range over that country, and now we're going to look very strongly at the straights. The straights are in great shape. We've knocked out all of their boats. They have some missiles, but not very many. I think we're in very good shape. The main thing is, we have to win this. They win it quickly, but win it. And there are many people I'm just watching some of the news. Most people say it's already been won. It's just a question of when do we stop? We don't want to let it regrow, and ideally, we'd like to see somebody in there that knows what they're doing. In other words, they can build a country. Now, one other thing, we can hit sections of tarant and other places that, if you do it, it'll be almost impossible for them to rebuild their country, and we don't want that, but
we can take apart their electric capacity within one hour, and it would take them 25 years to rebuild it. So, ideally, we're not going to be doing that. Thank you very much, everybody. Now, the Iranians apparently released a little blurb that they're for a ceasefire. Of course, they're for a ceasefire because they're getting obliterated right now. They're for a ceasefire, but they have a few demands, and they want the reparations of all things, and they wanted short safety and peace for years to come. I'm sure to continue to work on their nuclear program, which, allegedly, they haven't. They haven't been, according to the Democrats, they haven't been doing for the last few years. I want to bring in our guests today. He's a friend of the show, a friend of mine, a friend of the great Lou Dobbs, a brilliant mind when it comes to all of this stuff, Russ Tyson, former senior NSA intel analyst, and whistleblower Russ. Before we get to all of this, I want to get your take, your overall take right now.
On what's happening in Iran as a man who spent some years in the Air Force and spent some years at three-letter agencies, your assessment right now of what we're seeing in Iran. Well, I think we pretty much depleted their capability to be offensive. I mean, they're grasping at what few straws they have left. It seems now they're basically banking on going, on going, on threatening our banks and the shipping lanes to make sure that that oil does not get through and that the price of oil goes through the roof as far as the barrel. And that's calling, you know, I'd, as a matter of fact, I just four days ago, filled up and it was, I don't know, at the Sam's Club, it was like, I don't know, two, no, three of four. And now, and yesterday, it's 30 cents more, so, and that's your period of time is going up that much.
So, it's climbing, and they're counting on the American people getting ticked off and saying, no, they're heck with this because our prices, like gasoline's going through the roof. But, you know, I tend to think that a few people have said this, that, you know, we're suffering a little bit right now to make sure our grandchildren don't get blown up in a conflagration that's caused by the idiots in Iran, they can not be allowed to have a nuclear weapon. They're just, they're, they're just whack jobs. So, that was something like that. So, Mark, it's a war that had to, had to be had. You know, I think, I think, yes, you know, I'm a bit conflicted because this is, you know, the Constitution says you have to have a declaration of war to have a war. So, technically, this is a violation of the Constitution, but we've had violation since, since all the way back to the Second World War, ever since.
The War Powers Act is a violation of the Constitution. The Congress cannot aggregate their, their, their, their, their responsibility to declare war. It's the President's job to execute the war. But then we have a situation where I don't think our forefathers in general Washington could conceive of the possibility in, in 24 minutes, another country could go offensive and blow us all the hell, you know, so I think we need to have a constitutional amendment to, to, to fix this, this flux and, you know, I'm staying on the, on the, on the front of Iran obtaining nuclear weapons on the front of Iran being a nuisance to the rest of the world from the last 47 years as Iran continuing to threaten and commit proxy attacks, not, quite frankly, not on just America, but on the rest of the world from that front, Russ. Well, absolutely. We can do this, you know, this had to happen, although this is a very large company.
Our country and to put boots on the ground, no, you're talking, we're talking about having a whole lot of boxes with flags draped over and coming back to Dover. So, but, but the problem there is they want, they want to, you know, get this, this government out of office, but the people there, they don't have weapons to go against the revolutionary guard. They have pots and pans and signs, which, you know, against bullets that didn't work too well. I think they just lost 30,000 of their people when they moat them down and even the ones who got injured, they walked in the hospitals and blew them away in their hospital bed. So, so these people are radicals and I think we need to try to fit, in fact, I'm quite sure we probably have special forces people there and, you know, our folks in Langley are there trying to do the best they can, hopefully, to get those people some kind of weaponry to defend themselves, which is, by the way, why we have the second amendment. So, in case our own government went despotic, we can make that happen.
So, yes, this had to happen because our children and grandchildren depend on this and the world by the way. Yeah, the whole world is up in arms, but, you know, under their breath, they're all one. And God, the Americans did this, you know, clothing, the air of China and Russia are even having a lovely China and Russia are doing the same thing. So, I mean, both China with the Chashans, I mean, Russia with the Chashans have had certain issues with extremism, Islamic extremists and so have the Chinese. So, everyone is under their breath saying, thank God for Donald Trump and then every body else, including, you know, almost half our own people are cursing at the same time. Nobody has had the intestinal fortitude to take these people on, had first, and I was just
talking before I got on the show with someone, and we were talking about the fact of Donald Trump doing this. And I said to him, I said, I don't think for a second Donald Trump wanted to do this. This is his last presidential term. His first four years, he was a peacetime president. His first year is a peacetime president. I don't think for a second Donald Trump wanted to go down as a president who engaged in a war. And it's not a new war as the media tries to paint, so it's a 47, 50-year-long war that's been going on with these people, killing American citizens. I spoke about last week, Russ, I don't know if you call it the show, but back in, I think it was July of 2016, where they took one of our ships and they got our guys. Our Marines on their hands and knees, with guns pointing to the back of their heads, with their hands behind their heads, like they were some sort of stooges, like they were some sort of puppets. And that made me sick to my stomach. And then it was just four months before that where Obama sent his first installation of cash payments to them, you know, the billion dollars, a few billion dollars that he sent
over to them. What else was President Trump to do here? I think his hands were, I mean, they weren't forced, but the man has enough common sense to know that he has grandchildren, he'll have great grandchildren before too long, and he's doing this for posterity. So like I said, I don't necessarily agree with the, you know, and I consider myself a constitutional conservative, but when you have a threat like this, something has to be done. And President Trump has stood up and he's done it. And the whole world is thanking and cursing at the same time. Now let me ask you, Ross, because you're familiar with the capabilities of America, both classified and unclassified. You're familiar with, I assume, the capabilities of Iran, both classified and unclassified about what they have. Do you believe Iran to still be a threat, or do you think that once this wraps up in the next hopefully week or so, that they're completely obliterated and take them another
hundred years in the Stone Age that they live in, because they do live in a Stone Age, to build back any sort of program or anything that they had, artillery, and not just nuclear weapons, any sort of weapons. Well, Iran has learned that you have to hide things like launchers. So how do you hide something in Iran? In Vietnam, you have canopies of jungle to work with. But they don't have so in Iran. So they basically dig holes in hillsides and they camouflage a lot of things. And or they put dig things into a cliff that overlooks the streets of Haramooza, that sort of thing. But right now, I think the biggest thing they have left are their drones. And we're doing everything we can to stop that. But then we just had a tanker too, I think that hit last night. And of course, when the press shows a tanker on fire or in the silhouette at night, everyone
freaks out across the world, and the price of gasoline goes up, you know, another 50 cents. So we have, I think they're in their last throws. Now we're getting into where they're hitting us with cyber attacks. So that means they're, and by the way, we can throw cyber back at them. So I don't think it really work, Rusty, those people, I mean, you see how these people live. And people don't realize it. That what's been going on in that country, the people that the Iatala has killed, what he's done. He set that country back hundreds of years with the lack of development, it's the same thing that that was done in Venezuela, it's the same thing that's being done in Cuba. He doesn't let the people leave. They're essentially caged in that place. So he's greatly stunted their growth. Do you think the Iranian people have the will and the power to take back their country? Because this is what this is about at the end of the day. It's about these people taking back control of their country and not letting these radical
jihadists rule the rules to anymore. All they showed a month or so ago, they have the will. Do they have the power? That means you need to put an M16 in their hand to defend themselves. And that's what they don't have. So we need to try to make sure, if we can, I don't know, get some of the, the Pope, the function of jail are probably already been killed, but we need to get the power to the people. And I think, I mean, there are zealots there. There are a lot of people there that they'll say, you know, death to America, whatever, just to make sure that the powers that be don't perceive them to be a threat to the, to the, to the, the hierarchy. So, um, and, but, you know, I don't think they have the power in their hands right now. And that's what we have to worry about. We need to get that to the people. And if we don't, we're just going to have, you know, another Mula show up.
I don't know if we can whack him or not or, you know, but they're, we another one after that they have a never ending supply of Mulas. Well, the latest one, Russ, they said is lost his leg, um, and he was in a coma currently right now. Oh, I did not know that. I know you had a cardboard effigy of, you couldn't make it, Russ, because he's missing a leg. But I'm not sure how the health care system works and I ran, but I have to assume it's a probably not the best, um, and apparently it was in a coma as part of the strikes. The truth of the matter is, is America can pick off whoever they want. America. I got to be honest with you. I'm extremely impressed and stunned by the, I didn't think our capabilities, but, you know, here in President Trump talk about, you know, the depletion of our ammunition and the depletion. And I'm a military guy, you know, you know, um, not a military guy myself, but, uh, a fanatic of the military and especially their aircrafts and, and seeing, and I have a lot of friends who are fighter pilots right now. I went to college with 16 and 22 guys and some KC 110 guys.
And, you know, I've seen the, the, the insides of some of these that, you know, I was allowed to see. And it's extremely old avionics. So, you know, I sit here and I'm like, you know, I'm kind of nervous thinking that we can go to war and our stuff is depleted. But then you watch what they did in Venezuela with the discombobulator, which we had no idea about it. And some of these missiles and, and drones that they're using now with extreme precision. And I say, you know, I'm kind of impressed. And I hope this sends a message to Russia and China that we're not to be messed with that, you know, we're, you know, adversaries, but, you know, keep it cool. So I gotta say I'm, I'm impressed thoroughly by our capabilities. I want to turn it to something back here now at home, Ross, or is it really back here? Even in Trump and his supporters were allegedly targeted by four consecutive FBI code names counter-intel investigations over the last decade that was subject to hundreds of innocent Americans and the privacy invaded from these thugs over at these three lead, three-letter agencies.
FBI director, Caspatel, personally led the effort to review the operations, Crossfire Hurricane, which we've heard about, Round River, Plasmic Echo, and Arctic Frost. They stretched from 2016, when President Trump announced, to January of 2025, Ross, the ongoing conspiracy lives. Well, that tells you that the entire intelligence community has been against President Trump, the day that they realized he was a potential threat, that he could actually become President. They've been against him. Even when he was President, they were, these warm tongues were there with their deckers. So I mean, and you have the likes of Ray, you know, when he was the director of FBI, and my gosh, the man is, the man should be in jail.
You listen to his, you know, he's, I'm talking to the Congress. And everything is just, you know, trying to weasel his way using word smithing and semantics. But these people have lied. They've done things. The intelligence community has been involved in this. And we don't even know the true depth of the first two that we knew about, and initially, now we've got the round robin in this Plasmic Echo, and they're classified. Oh, gee. Well, classified, well, why are they classified? Because they know what they did was wrong, and they wanted to make sure that, no, when you're not too many people had access to it. In fact, nobody had access to money, the investigative files were hidden from view, even for most FBI agents, because they were marked as prohibited access, and they were controlled carefully by FBI leadership.
Now, how did cash find out about this? By great Americans like you, whistleblowers, inside the agency and a handful of senior bureau executives that were closely a director who maybe wanted to save their bacon. Oh, I think so. Yeah. Are you prosecuted? I think a lot of them were trying to save their bacon. And that's all, you know, it's, you know, you jump ship just before the thing sinks, and I think these, they're still rotten apples, but they're trying to save themselves. And some are, some are true whistleblowers, especially the ones that came out before, you know, a couple of years ago or so, and then they, and when they were identified, they were retaliating against. I heard that Mr. Patel is going to be giving like 10 of them back their, back pay, and we can state their, their clearances and all that sort of thing. I think there was actually something about that that he was going to, and then he didn't, I don't know the full story on it, but there was one in particular that I know, there
were some issues with his name, so it's my mind. A Steve Friend, I believe is his name, where he went back and then was fired again. I'm not sure on the, on the full story on it. Could this be our first case where we see head start to roll a little bit, because people are starting to get a little impatient, Russ. I hope so. We found out that they went after journalists, and they went after anyone associated with President Trump and his lawyers, you know, where's the client, you know, privilege, lawyer client privilege in privacy, that matter, matter of fact, we know they went after Patel himself. I know from a year and a half ago, or a couple of years ago, with, with, with, with Angino, that, that's a very last time, and I did him a favor, and I went back to my sources at NSA to find out if they, if they were getting information to, to send over to the FBI in the Department of Injustice on, on, on Bongino, and there was word came back that they
were, and other people too, like one of them was Tucker Carlson, that they were tapping all his stuff. Lewis caught up in, in it too, Lou, back in the, the early days when, I don't know, if you remember in President Trump's first term, with Kurt Volcker and these ambassadors over in Ukraine, Lou was being monitored, confirmed monitor, I'd love to, to, to reach out to cash and get Lou's FBI file, man, I, I don't think he's ever ran a red light in his life, and he's probably got an FBI file, like this, just based on being a journalist, and that's a dangerous precedent for us for this country. You know, I, I said the way for my FBI files, and then they said that they don't exist. Yeah, of course. I'm laughing. I'm like, you know, really? I had them follow me 24-7 for years on end, and I'm like, I found, everything was out they broke into my house, numerous times, they broke into my parents house twice, they, they, they broke into my car numerous times, I mean, there was, it was, and they don't have an FBI file, they come on. You know what? It's crazy is, thinking back at your days of whistleblow and rust, probably the overwhelming
majority of people were probably like, this guy rusts is crazy, like what the hell is he talking about? This guy is a psychopath, which is exactly what they tried to do to you, which is what the federal government. I think you remember you're telling me they're holding an alcoholic or something. The overwhelming majority probably thought that, and I'm going to be honest to you, Russ, me, not being old enough at the time, but probably would have said the same thing, till I realized what they did in 2016, and that's when all the masks, Russ, started to come off. That's when people started question, did we put a man on the moon? It was 9-11, exactly what they told us 9-11 was, who really killed JFK, maybe we look back at it, Abe, I mean, you look at all these situations, Russ, over the course of history, and I think that 2016 steel dossier and, and the things they tried to do to President Trump completely exonerated and, and opened up the doors for everybody, including people like you. Well, you know, they, they, what they did is they declared me to be crazy. Nine months after my routine psyche vow, which I passed for flying colors, and, and, and,
and the ones I had in the past, I always passed, and then all of a sudden they called me in for an emergency psychological evaluation. Once they realized I found out what they were doing, and then they declared me to be nuts, you know, paranoid nuts. And they put me in the motor pole, fill up, fill up government cars with gasoline and, and standing cars to be repaired as my punishment, hoping that I would just be like a little mouse in the corner, and, and, and, and, and, and uh, pay my pens, and, uh, and, and then beg them for my job back. Well, I'm just, I'm, I can't be a mouse in the corner. So I had to fight, um, and, and, aside from the fact that I knew what they had done, um, and then I talked to the rest of the folks that they knew the landline part of it because I knew the space side, but then we realized how huge
this thing was. It was everything. This was the NSA wanted to be the omniscient, know everything, and with omniscience you get omnipotence, and that's ultimately I think what they have now considering how much money they have. So yeah, they're in a position where, and they use this against the president of the United States. I mean, the citizens of this country think, well, you know, they're, but if they can do this to our own president, while he's president, mind you, and if they can assassinate someone in a cell, in a prison cell in New York, hey, he killed himself, Russ. Yeah, and the president doesn't even know about it, and Aaron was never told. Then that tells you what kind of intelligence service we have, and then the who's running the show, and that swamp has certainly not been drained. Someone said, well, maybe the water, a little bit of the water has been drained, but we can start, we can start to
see some of the monsters that are there to slush around in that stench. Yeah, I don't know. I'm convinced that Jeffrey Epstein killed himself because that's what Cash Patel and Dan Bantino told us to believe. James Colmer, I talk about often on the show because I think he's actually a stand-up guy, and I think he's a man who tries to do his jobs the best, is actually going after in subpoenaing that the lady, he wants to talk to the lady who made a suspicious, who got hit with a saw or suspicious activity report for composite and cash in her account, five grand, I think a few days before, and then Googling the name Epstein before him and many of you killed himself, that's just another one Russ to add to the list of conspiracy theories that Jeffrey Epstein, in fact, didn't kill himself, and I played a clip yesterday for the audience of James Colmer saying allegedly killed himself, allegedly killed himself, and this is a man who sits in on classified hearings and knows very well what's happening. So I just don't understand the line, and people
somehow think President Trump is implicated. He's a victim, I think, just like every one of us, they're hiding stuff from all of us, they're hiding it from him. You can keep me sitting there saying, oh, well, you guys spied on me, that's cool. No, I can guarantee you, he's effing up and down, furious, spitting fire, that nothing's being done about it, and that they did it in the first place, and that I was hidden right under his nose. Yeah, last week we, or a couple weeks ago, we discussed how they're thinking about stopping looking for all these reprobates that reside in the intelligence services, the intelligence community. They're there. Like I said with the FBI, I think it's not a bad apple in the barrel. It's a whole barrel full of bad apples, and every now and then you find an apple that's not rotten. It's just too big to comprehend. When I came out with this, I'm the first one. So I'm the first one to go through the breach, to make the breach in the
castle wall and go through, and you know, if there's a world called Fort Norton Hope when the first units to go through a breach, they all end up dying. So I was one of the first bodies that went down in this. Now we're finding out a whole lot more 20 years after the fact. So 20 some years after. Yeah, it's some scary stuff. I mean, I hope we get some sort of light shed on some of these issues. We deserve it. I mean, we're tax paying citizens. We're law-abiding citizens. We have every right to demand from our government, truth, justice, and the American way and transparency. Russ Tice, former senior NSA intel analyst and whistleblower, I always have to like to talk to my friend. Come back soon. Certainly. Folks, Russ Tice, great American, great friend of Lou Dobbs, great friend of mine on the show. Great, great, great insights. A brilliant mind, men has spent many years doing all the things that we wonder are real or just a movie or fiction.
So we'll see you back in a moment folks with a great American show, truth, justice and the American way. Tomorrow we're going to be joined hopefully, hopefully by Ty Clevver. He's the man leading the fight for the last few years for the Seth Rich Files. He's going to give us an update on what's going on and why catch Patel and the FBI seem to be stonewalling him and holding back information on a man who was just allegedly robbed in a park. But there's one problem. Nothing was ever stolen from him. So that's tomorrow, hopefully, on The Great American Show. So join us for that. Until then, folks, may God bless you. May God bless America and may God bless the great Lou Dobbs. Have a great hour. We'll see you tomorrow.
