COLONEL DOUGLAS MACGREGOR: everything that Americans have taken for granted for 200 years has fallen apart. The institutions are facades, behind which stand almost nothing.



4:55  Donald Trump says that he's going to conduct the largest deportation operation in history, and everyone thinks that's impossible.  Well, we deported 9 million Mexicans between 1929 and 1930.  Under FDR, we deported another 3.5 million.  Under Harry Truman, 2 million.  Under Eisenhower, 1.5 million, so I think that that can be done.  The question is will he be supported by anybody that matters in Congress?  And remember that some of the same oligarchs, I like to use that term now, the billionaires who shape policymaking in Washington, who are interested in prosecuting wars in the Middle East and wars in Eastern Ukraine, aren't really interested in securing our borders, or frankly, concerned about the welfare of the American people.  So there's no easy answer.  

5:45  How politicized is the Judiciary in the United States?  We are surprised when we read reports about this verdict now in New York where they said that former President Donald Trump had to pay $450 million U.S. dollars because of a fraud case in which the banks are saying "We didn't lose one cent."  In some parts, there was critical reporting on that.  Is the Judiciary system in the United States politicized in a way that they tried to get rid of Trump in that sense?

MACGREGOR, 6:35  Yes.  It's true.  The judiciary system in the United States consists or is composed of people who were appointed to their jobs under several different administrations.  Frankly, from 1992 onwards most of those judges who were appointed stood to the Left of Center.  There was some modest increment of more middle-of-the-road, Centrist judges under Trump, but frankly the majority fall into the Leftist camp.  Now, some of that varies with geography.  I wouldn't want to be tried for anything in New York City or Washington, D.C., where I fully expect whatever they accuse me of, whether I was guilty or not, I would be found guilty and end up in jail.  That's how serious the problem is.  Again, everything that we Americans have taken for granted for 200 years has fallen apart.  The institutions are facades behind which stand almost nothing.  The public trust and confidence in these institutions is at an all-time low.  

7:47  What was your impression as a military man, as a high officer of the armed forces of the United States, what was your impression of the interview of Tucker Carlson with President Putin?  What's the essence? 

MACGREGOR, 8:05  Most of us view Tucker Carlson, I'm talking about Americans in general, not just people in uniform
