00:01:23.180So eventful day, as you just heard there at President Trump at the White House this afternoon.
00:01:28.620President Trump honoring that 16-year-old lifeguard, Ryder Williams.
00:01:34.900For those of you who don't remember the story or don't remember seeing it, 16-year-old lifeguard.
00:01:40.100Hey, there's a video up there for you on the screen.
00:01:44.560That 10-year-old boy a couple of weeks ago down in Florida from Ripcord actually saving his life.
00:01:52.440If any of you folks who have been down in Florida or been in a rip current before know it ain't easy to get out of one, especially not a 10-year-old child.
00:02:02.440So President Trump honoring that fellow there at the White House for his brave and honorable duty, saving that young boy's life.
00:02:15.640President Trump had some real nice things to say before we get into the news.
00:02:18.300So we want to start out Monday a little bit on the lighter side of things.
00:02:21.340And, you know, honor this gentleman who did a heck of a duty to which the media, of course, didn't respect.
00:02:30.360I'm honored to be with Ryder Williams, who is a 16-year-old lifeguard in California, the Santa Cruz area.
00:02:41.760And I understand he was a winner right from the time they first saw him as a lifeguard.
00:02:46.380a lot of training a lot of work and he saved this young gentleman who i had a long talk with i said
00:02:53.020would you have made it without him and he said not really right not really it was trouble so you're
00:02:58.940gonna have a long and beautiful life and i just thought it was we were all watching everybody
00:03:03.900watched and uh got a lot of publicity because of the ferocity of the waves i've never seen waves
00:05:24.540media. I like that they go on these shows and make them look like total buffoons.0.98
00:05:28.120I mean, you go on Fox News, they're going to stab you in the back.0.98
00:05:31.580You might as well go on the left mainstream media scum so that all the leftists who are watching could see how corrupt their media that they praise, that they get on their hands and knees for and beg for forgiveness from to see exactly what they are doing.0.95
00:05:51.640So it's nice that that Todd Blanche isn't only just making his rounds on Fox News.1.00
00:05:57.960He's making his rounds on CNN to show Kristen Welker that she does indeed have a double digit IQ and that she is borderline mentally retarded with her stupid questions.1.00
00:06:09.580So Welker gets on there and she starts asking Blanche, are you going to take President Trump's orders?1.00
00:06:14.480Are you going to listen to what he has to tell you?
00:09:10.240We've had Tony Schaefer on the show many times.
00:09:14.840Tony Schaefer had said to me many times in person.
00:09:19.360how corrupt and complicit William Barr was in obfuscating and hiding the crimes of the 2020
00:09:29.520election. So let's hear what Blanche have to say. So I will I will always stand up for what's right
00:09:36.320and and I do not the president does not expect any of his leaders including me to just say yes
00:09:41.660to him no matter what he says and so of course there's there's there's vigorous back and forth
00:09:46.420With every cabinet member in the president of the United States, which is exactly what President Trump expects.
00:09:51.080And there again, there is this extraordinarily false narrative that the president wakes up in the morning and calls me and says, Todd, go prosecute X or Y.
00:09:58.600He does not do that. He has never done that. He will never do that.
00:10:02.040And so if there's something that he wants to do, but he needs to know that there's a challenge or that we can't do it, of course I will tell him.
00:10:08.720It happens all the time with all of his leaders, and that's what he expects.
00:10:12.000You know, it would be normal for Walker to ask those questions if she asked the same questions of Joe Biden's Justice Department.
00:10:27.840remember Merrick Garland sending the machine gun toting federal agents to
00:10:38.740Mar-a-Lago to do Joe Biden's bidding to ensure President Trump never saw the
00:10:45.920Oval Office again do we remember Merrick Garland who ignored every single
00:10:56.320criminal referral of James Comer. Now, I know a lot of people out there give Comer and Jordan
00:11:03.880a hard time, and, you know, rightfully so. But I've known Comer. I've known Comer for a few years.
00:11:11.680I've sat down and spoke with him both on this show, and I've sat down and spoken with him,
00:11:16.120just he and I in a room with nobody else around off the record.
00:11:21.040And I've gotten to know the kind of man that Comer was and the work that Comer did.
00:11:29.680And without revealing any details about what he and I had spoken about in confidence, take my word for it, as a man who probably hates every single politician there is, that Comer did his job to the best of his abilities and that he's not to be blamed.
00:15:29.400Well, just I mean, we're relying on a statute, a statute passed by Congress that allows us in the right circumstances to review and get those voter rolls.
00:15:38.360And so, yes, no, we're not going to stop doing what I think every American should expect us to do, which is make sure that we have elections that are fair.
00:15:46.940And as that relates to the Department of Justice, that means making sure that that there are no constitutional legal violations, even at the state level.
00:15:54.540So, yes, President Trump, this administration knows and, of course, understands that states administer elections and that will always be the case.
00:16:02.920But it doesn't mean the federal government should play no role.
00:16:05.640And so the tension there is, of course, whether we should be playing the role that we're playing.
00:16:10.120And that's really what we're litigating.
00:16:11.800How far are you willing to take this fight? Because you've been ruled against now 22 times.
00:16:16.060Are you going to take this all the way to the Supreme Court? Do you anticipate?
00:16:19.800We'll see. We'll see what happens. We're trying to work it out with states.
00:16:23.140Of course. Yes, absolutely. It's a possibility. Election integrity is something that President Trump ran on and the American people elected him. It's something that every American should care about. And so the idea that the Department of Justice is trying to investigate issues around elections to make sure they're fair and make sure they're conducted the right way is not something that we should be running away from. That's something we should be running right towards.
00:16:44.360imagine that welker's more worried about if trump and the doj are going to keep fighting
00:16:54.980for voter rolls than she is about what can be hidden in those voter rolls so let's talk about
00:17:04.940the states that won't turn over those voter rolls what they have in common washington state oregon
00:21:50.560And I said, wait a minute, we have 39,000 soldiers over there guarding you from Kim Jong-un, your next-door neighbor, and you're not going to help us on a very easy military operation in Iran?
00:22:08.820I said, well, why are we involved in helping you?
00:22:12.400So and I want to help them. But, you know, when you ask somebody, would you like to give us a hand?
00:22:18.520And they say, no, thanks. And then we're guarding them from a country and paying ourselves billions of it's costing us billions and billions of dollars to protect not only them, but other countries.
00:22:30.980Look at NATO. We spend hundreds of billions of dollars protecting Europe from Russia, hundreds of billions, mostly from Russia, but from other things, too.0.58
00:22:43.500And then they say, well, they don't want to get involved with getting, you know, guarding the strait where they get most of their oil.0.70
00:22:51.880They get 50 percent of their oil and they don't want to get involved. Why are we doing it?
00:22:55.820So all I want is fairness. And South Korea, I get along with them very well, but they were paying three billion dollars a year.
00:23:02.800And then they convinced Biden that I was probably a bad person and they shouldn't.
00:23:07.480And he immediately rescinded that order. So we were getting paid.
00:23:11.340We would have been getting paid a lot more, but we can't go around and protect all of these countries, especially when they're not there to help us.
00:23:19.640that's exactly what they want they want protections for free
00:23:28.020and president trump clearly holding that grudge on these countries who
00:23:32.720sat back and let america drain all their resources on fighting against hamas and fighting against
00:23:41.880Iran. And quite frankly, South Korea's got enough money. Why are we protecting them?
00:23:51.380It's like everyone wants to be protected. But then when it comes time to helping America with
00:23:58.680a small task, nobody can be bothered. Nobody can lift a finger to do anything. So President Trump,
00:24:10.540as you heard him there, asked Secretary Hegseth to go ahead and reduce those joint military
00:24:17.720exercises, which I'm sure, I'm sure South Korea is going to reconsider paying their fair share.
00:24:26.460And it's, by the way, it's not them paying us. It's literally them paying their share for what
00:24:31.920we're paying out. We're not making money on it. We're heavily still subsidizing it.
00:24:40.540common courtesy korea common common courtesy so i promised you we're going to talk about fang
00:24:47.800fang eric swalwell because he's gotten himself in a little bit of hot water once again gotten
00:24:54.640himself in a little bit of a trouble i guess you can say newly declassified documents real
00:25:00.640salacious details about eric swalwell and his relationship with that chinese spy and honeypot
00:25:05.460fang fang it's previously reported that the intel community had a classified report detailing eric
00:25:11.460swalwell's intimate relationship with fang fang and according to axios fang fang was a bundler for
00:25:16.820eric swalwell and other democrat candidates it's also reported that the chinese spy had intimate
00:25:22.060relationships with swalwell which we've talked about many times here now despite the chinese
00:25:28.340spy scandal swalwell remained on the house intel committee thanks to nancy pelosi and had access
00:25:34.320to some of the nation's most highly classified information.
00:28:41.960That bureau also identified her parents as MSS agents
00:28:44.980and knew she was raising money for California Democrats0.61
00:28:47.940and was willing to use sex as a means1.00
00:28:50.320to getting ahead in the world of U.S. politics.
00:28:54.600Now, early this year, Swalwell, of course, panicked through a fit when FBI Director Cash Patel pushed to release the slacious files related to his relationship with the Chinese spy and honeypot Fang Fang.
00:29:09.880At the time, Swalwell was running for governor of California, which was also a very, very short-lived campaign.
00:29:16.700campaign. He didn't make it out of the primaries, or I guess you could say he didn't make it even
00:29:22.820to the primaries. Bit of a rough road ahead, I'd say, for Mr. Eric Swalwell,
00:29:29.340who had no problem going on TV every night calling President Trump a slew of different adjectives.
00:29:36.800But he was really just hiding behind his own criminality. That's all for us folks tonight
00:29:41.620here on The Great America Show. As I said, Stephen Gardner will be in for me tomorrow, so
