The Great America Show - Autopen Scandal turns CRIMINAL as DOJ opens Investigation. New Polling shows HUGE divide in America!

00:00:00.000 Hello, everybody, and welcome to the Great America Show.

00:00:04.880 It's great to have you with us on this beautiful day in America.

00:00:07.040 I want to start tonight with sending our prayers to the folks of Jamaica as Hurricane Melissa

00:00:11.800 passed over the middle of the island of Jamaica earlier this afternoon, now on its way to

00:00:18.820 the eastern portion of Cuba, the Guantanamo Bay area, praying for the folks there as well.

00:00:25.300 So as the hurricane then looks to dissipate out to the east, out into the ocean, hopefully

00:00:31.760 leaving other countries unscathed on its way out.

00:00:35.560 But we pray for the folks in Jamaica tonight as that storm ravaged over the island.

00:00:41.800 We begin tonight with the Biden auto pen scandal, and it seems to be that we may finally get

00:00:48.460 some accountability.

00:00:49.660 The Biden auto pen scandal has now taken a new turn, and the Department of Justice may

00:00:54.220 soon get involved.

00:00:55.760 House Oversight Committee, which is led by Congressman James Comer, the House Oversight

00:00:59.840 Chairman, released a 100-page report today declaring all of Biden's auto pen executive

00:01:04.700 orders null and void, folks.

00:01:08.260 These include pardons that were performed by the White House staff and signed by an auto

00:01:12.480 pen.

00:01:13.580 This could be an issue for Joe Biden.

00:01:16.560 Executive actions taken by the White House staff, signed by auto pen, null and void.

00:01:21.580 Now, the Department of Justice may soon get involved.

00:01:25.680 The House Oversight Committee reached in that 100-page report.

00:01:29.520 House Oversight Chairman James Comer, who I've maintained throughout this whole thing,

00:01:34.040 doing a terrific job.

00:01:35.460 They also released this short little video.

00:01:37.540 I want to bring a part of it to you of some of the depositions that they got out of these

00:01:41.640 top Biden White House aides, some of the people closest to Joe Biden and what they knew.

00:01:47.740 Let's take a look at the video released by the House Oversight Committee.

00:01:51.120 Was the number one issue in the campaign the president's fitness or his age?

00:02:03.700 Did you ever see President Biden in a wheelchair?

00:02:07.140 I did not recall ever seeing President Biden in a wheelchair.

00:02:10.940 And new information now on the people in his inner circle and how the cover-up actually

00:02:17.740 operated.

00:02:18.500 Senior aides that worked here until just a couple months ago, the beginning of this

00:02:22.880 year, manipulating an ailing president for their own gain.

00:02:27.320 How much were you paid for your role in the campaign in 2024?

00:02:32.740 Just a little bit short.

00:02:34.060 $4 million.

00:02:35.080 I'm sorry, how much?

00:02:36.240 $4 million.

00:02:37.200 You believed that the president should stay in the race, your own financial stake in the

00:02:42.680 matter, but was a factor in any way in your vice president?

00:02:45.960 I don't believe in that.

00:02:48.620 And when it comes to President Biden's decline, the official word from Biden World about all

00:02:53.820 these new stories is that nothing has been revealed this week that shows that President

00:02:59.240 Biden was anything but an effective president.

00:03:01.920 Yes, I noticed that he was aging in terms of his physical condition.

00:03:05.180 I noticed that, you know, he shuffled more.

00:03:08.440 But he has more stumbling over words and gaffes than he did at the beginning of the term.

00:03:16.500 His rhetorical skills were not as strong as they had been, and his speeches were less

00:03:21.060 effective, I thought.

00:03:22.100 We talked about age.

00:03:23.280 We knew it was an issue, and we tried to design a strategy.

00:03:28.360 We had a discussion at the senior advisor level about whether the president should have

00:03:34.480 a cognitive exam.

00:03:35.700 Flashback now to the legacy media's complete denial of the president's cognitive decline.

00:03:40.880 Start your tape right now, because I'm about to tell you the truth.

00:03:44.340 And F you if you can't handle the truth.

00:03:47.220 This version of Biden is the best Biden ever.

00:03:52.160 His mental acuity is great, it's fine, it's as good as it's been over the years.

00:03:57.120 He is sharp, he is on top of things.

00:03:59.620 Do you regret saying that President Biden had a mental acuity, he had a sharpness to

00:04:04.460 him?

00:04:04.980 I said what I believe to be true.

00:04:07.300 And you think he was as sharp as you?

00:04:10.900 I said I had not seen decline.

00:04:15.500 And I hadn't.

00:04:16.680 He is just fine.

00:04:18.920 How people interpret that is up to them.

00:04:22.160 We're watching the testimony of this woman here, Annie Thomas Senior.

00:04:27.160 She's the former senior advisor to President Joe Biden.

00:04:30.080 She was the third person set to appear before James Commerce Committee.

00:04:34.680 She has now taken the fit.

00:04:36.300 There is now a pattern of key Biden confidants seeking to shield themselves from criminal liability

00:04:42.300 for this potential conspiracy.

00:04:44.680 Were you ever told to lie about the president's health?

00:04:46.640 On the advice of counsel, I must expect that he declined to answer based upon physician-patient

00:04:50.920 privilege and in reliance on my right under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution.

00:04:54.860 Let the record reflect that Dr. O'Connor has invoked the Fifth Amendment right against

00:04:58.720 self-incrimination.

00:04:59.480 Dr. O'Connor, did you ever believe the president was unfit to execute his duties as president?

00:05:07.140 And we can tell you that you will have the same answer with respect to any questions that

00:05:11.880 are asked.

00:05:12.600 Did any unelected official or family member of President Joe Biden execute the duties of

00:05:18.320 the president said, did Joe Biden, a member of his family, or anyone at the White House

00:05:23.020 ever instruct you to lie regarding his health?

00:05:25.820 On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer the question pursuant to my Fifth Amendment

00:05:29.900 rights under the Constitution.

00:05:32.280 There you have it, folks.

00:05:33.760 Just a short little clip from that almost 10-minute long video that the House oversight had put out.

00:05:39.220 Trouble, I think, for Joe Biden and the cronies that kept to cognitive decline a big secret

00:05:49.360 inside the White House.

00:05:50.320 Now, this 100-page report from James Comer calls on the Department of Justice and Attorney

00:05:54.860 General Pam Bondi to conduct an investigation, including of Biden aides responsible for this

00:06:00.480 cover-up.

00:06:01.360 So now we'll wait and see what Pam Bondi does. 1.00

00:06:05.380 Comer writing, quote,

00:06:06.040 We're calling on the U.S. Department of Justice to conduct a thorough review of these executive

00:06:10.300 actions and scrutinize key Biden aides who took the fifth to hide their participation

00:06:14.960 in the cover-up.

00:06:17.040 And now I think we have to probably look into the Board of Medicine and into Biden's physician,

00:06:23.740 who was number one on that cover-up, folks, telling us that Biden was healthy, everything

00:06:30.780 was good with him, cognitively good, refused to take a cognitive test, but told us that

00:06:36.020 everything was good and there was no issues there whatsoever.

00:06:40.280 So I think the Board of Medicine needs to look into Dr. O'Connor there, who went in there

00:06:44.960 and, of course, pled the fifth because what was he going to do to tell the truth and tell

00:06:48.980 us that he lied for years that Joe Biden was good?

00:06:51.840 So, as I said, now we sit and we wait for Pam Bondi to do her job or maybe perhaps President 0.97

00:06:58.620 Trump will have to appoint an interim attorney somewhere else so that they can do their job

00:07:04.500 for her because that's the trend that we've seen so far under Pam Bondi and her leadership 0.72

00:07:10.760 at the Department of Justice.

00:07:12.100 Earlier today, folks, the Senate Democrats have once again turned their back on the American

00:07:15.740 people and, in particular, the servicemen and women, rejecting for the 13th time a critical

00:07:22.320 bill that would ensure military paychecks continue to flow regardless if the government

00:07:27.960 reopens.

00:07:28.840 The government shutdown is now on its 28th day, leaving essential workers, including active

00:07:33.540 duty troops, air traffic controllers, Border Patrol agents without pay, forcing many to rely

00:07:38.960 on food banks and community support just to make ends meet.

00:07:42.460 The Senate advanced the bill that was brought forward in the Senate, failed to pass 13 times

00:07:49.840 by a vote of 54 to 45, coming up short of that 60-vote threshold that they can't seem to

00:07:57.920 make.

00:07:58.640 Chuck Schumer, how much longer are you going to play these games with the lives of the American

00:08:03.460 people?

00:08:04.620 I don't know how many more times you have to say it.

00:08:06.860 It's sad that this is what it's come to in this country.

00:08:09.860 We're going to take a quick break here, folks, on The Great America Show.

00:08:12.580 In just moments, we're going to be joined by my good friend, leading pollster for Rasmussen

00:08:16.240 Reports, preeminent pollster in this country, Mark Mitchell.

00:08:20.260 I want to get a take.

00:08:21.160 He's got some new polling out that tells us what the American people think on certain big

00:08:27.120 key issues.

00:08:28.360 So Mark's going to be joining us on the other side of this quick break, folks.

00:08:31.060 If you're joining us on Rumble YouTube, Twitter, please be sure to hit that like, subscribe,

00:08:34.020 and follow button, especially YouTube, please.

00:08:36.880 We're trying to grow this channel.

00:08:37.900 So please be sure to follow us on there if you're not already at The Great America Show.

00:08:41.900 We're going to be right back, folks, on The Great America Show.

00:08:44.460 Please stay with us.

00:08:45.140 We're coming right back.

00:08:51.800 Mark, it's always a delight to have you.

00:08:53.400 You called me at 4 o'clock this morning, and you told me you had these new polls that

00:08:56.800 you had to get out.

00:08:57.760 You wanted to get out.

00:08:58.580 So I said, all right, let's do a show today, but we're going to make the audience wait for

00:09:02.020 your new polls that you called me at 4 o'clock in the morning about to first get to, just

00:09:07.440 moments ago, Senate Democrats once again turning their backs on the American people for a 13th

00:09:12.780 time.

00:09:13.300 We're now on the 28th day of the shutdown.

00:09:16.560 Air traffic controllers set to go unpaid.

00:09:19.220 Military members set to go unpaid on Friday.

00:09:23.120 At what point does this really start getting real for the American people?

00:09:29.020 The air traffic thing, Mark, scares the shit out of me, to be honest with you, because

00:09:32.360 I travel a lot and I know how screwed up the air traffic control system is to begin with. 0.65

00:09:39.040 This scares the hell out of me.

00:09:40.340 What point do the Democrats come to the table and at least start paying our essential government

00:09:46.300 employees?

00:09:48.100 Yeah, I really don't know.

00:09:49.100 I think we all sort of look around at the left and say they seem to be acting like communist

00:09:54.700 accelerationists, and this is exactly what you would expect to see out of them.

00:09:59.320 They wanted this shutdown.

00:10:00.680 If you go look at Reddit politics, they've been begging for this.

00:10:03.820 And remember, they tried to get Schumer to resign last time because he didn't do the

00:10:07.580 shutdown.

00:10:08.360 They literally wanted to pull him out of office, root and stem.

00:10:11.520 And so they want this.

00:10:13.320 And I think it's because they want to force these optics to get something on Donald Trump.

00:10:18.400 And I can tell you that we're getting close.

00:10:20.460 I think it's like eight or nine days till we pass the record longest shutdown.

00:10:25.360 I don't think shutdowns really matter that much.

00:10:27.120 The biggest one before didn't really affect.

00:10:29.140 I mean, Trump had lost about 10 points in that approval, but it came back a month later

00:10:33.300 and it really didn't do anything to his term.

00:10:35.620 And most people said that the government shutdown had no impact.

00:10:38.660 Only 10% said it had a major impact on their lives.

00:10:41.460 We're in the field with that question now.

00:10:43.320 I don't expect to see anything different.

00:10:45.100 And the same thing happened back then.

00:10:46.640 You know, people losing stuff and blah, blah, blah.

00:10:48.720 All the tears about paychecks not getting paid.

00:10:51.180 Now, he's down to negative eight net approval today, which is the lowest that he's had this

00:10:56.340 term so far.

00:10:57.320 And so, OK, fine.

00:10:59.400 But he was like negative 25 back during the Russian collusion hoax.

00:11:03.300 So he's nowhere near his bottom.

00:11:04.880 And it seems like they're willing to take calculated risks now.

00:11:08.340 And that's exactly what this is.

00:11:10.060 Now, they're trying, for instance, to fund SNAP in Congress.

00:11:13.440 And we know the Senate Democrats aren't going to vote for it.

00:11:16.500 And so it's like the left wants to cut 42 million people off of the supplemental nutrition.

00:11:23.040 That's going to happen in a couple of days now.

00:11:25.480 Then they're calling for violent protests in the street.

00:11:28.540 So we might be on the brink of a purge or something like a bugaloo.

00:11:33.200 And neither side really seems to care that much.

00:11:37.220 Is it a foregone conclusion?

00:11:39.340 I'm not entirely sure what Chuck Schumer's calculation is on this.

00:11:43.140 Right.

00:11:43.340 And I've talked about this in great depth on the show before.

00:11:46.200 He's almost guaranteed to get primary by some far left Marxist.

00:11:50.420 And whether it be AOC or a Momdani copycat, whatever it is, he's going to get primary.

00:11:58.460 Now, he's already committed political suicide because he hasn't gone as far left as possible.

00:12:04.260 He's tried to.

00:12:04.920 But then he's also come back to the middle.

00:12:06.520 So he's managed to piss off his base in the middle.

00:12:08.600 He's managed to piss off the Marxists on the left.

00:12:10.640 So he has no real footing to stand on.

00:12:13.140 Is it a foregone conclusion that Chuck Schumer's the writings on the wall for him?

00:12:18.080 I think it's a situation where they're just like basically politically not relevant.

00:12:24.460 I mean, I could look at the Google Trends here and look at Pelosi, and I suspect that I'll find that her just name is not it's not being searched as much.

00:12:31.740 It is focused on people like the younger generations who are willing to be a lot more socialistic and economic populist.

00:12:38.860 And I think that that's kind of where everything's going.

00:12:41.060 But he doesn't have a future.

00:12:43.520 He's not going to run for president.

00:12:44.920 He'll just sort of bite out his time in the Senate.

00:12:47.300 And I think younger people are going to increasingly challenge him because they perceive him as not far left enough.

00:12:52.560 That's where the party's going.

00:12:53.600 It's going in the direction of Momdani.

00:12:56.340 Do you expect it to happen?

00:12:59.140 Your take on it in this next election cycle?

00:13:02.320 Do you expect it to happen four years from now, eight years from now?

00:13:05.240 I mean, what blood is in the water, clearly.

00:13:07.520 At what point do you expect the AOCs and Momdani's of the world to try to come in and take over the party?

00:13:13.220 It's only a matter of time.

00:13:14.260 And not to go off on a tangent here, but I was talking to Roger Stone about this on the phone the other day.

00:13:18.740 And I said, I mean, word for word, I don't give an F what happens in New York.

00:13:23.520 I don't think that Republicans should be trying to interfere in an election.

00:13:29.020 I don't think anyone else should be trying to interfere in an election.

00:13:32.560 The stage is set.

00:13:33.720 Momdani won the primary fair and square.

00:13:36.100 I can't stand the guy. 0.54

00:13:38.640 I despise everything about the guy.

00:13:41.980 I'm not rooting for him.

00:13:43.480 But Mark, the chips are going to fall where they may.

00:13:47.160 This man won a primary.

00:13:48.620 Why are we trying to interfere in it?

00:13:50.000 This is what the people want.

00:13:52.420 Yeah.

00:13:52.620 Yeah, the part that is so gross to me is the conservatives who will look at New York and say, we have to save New York.

00:14:00.700 And therefore, we have to throw out all of our conservative values, pull support, tell people to pull support from Curtis Sliwa and put it behind Andrew Cuomo, who is a mass murderer, allegedly, and who is a far leftist.

00:14:14.080 They're telling us to compromise our values when the left is unwilling to.

00:14:19.560 This is what they want.

00:14:20.920 The women bragging about voting for Momdani on TikTok.

00:14:25.540 I don't think they even really know what he stands for.

00:14:28.140 I think most of these people just know that fundamentally it pisses off the patriarchy.

00:14:32.500 It pisses off the right.

00:14:33.980 And so it's a temper tantrum vote.

00:14:35.920 And fine, you know, sometimes you just have to let the kid throw the temper tantrum.

00:14:39.860 And I think that's what we're going to see.

00:14:43.220 But the caveat is if he really did some of the things that people are alleging, if he really is like Ugandan citizen who didn't file his paperwork correctly, or if he has taken funding illicitly from his campaigns, I don't know the details.

00:14:58.720 Then maybe it's time to step in then because it will look non-democratic, but this is less than a year after the or barely more than a year after Kamala Harris's anointment, which was also non-democratic.

00:15:12.820 Is that stepping in to bail out New York?

00:15:15.820 I don't know.

00:15:16.900 I think it's the optics of like, hey, we got this guy.

00:15:19.940 Maybe now we can go after Ilhan Omar, right?

00:15:24.080 Because she's probably got problems as well.

00:15:26.080 That's immigration fraud. 0.51

00:15:27.040 That would be a huge accountability win, in my opinion.

00:15:31.360 My favorite part about this all, Mark, I have a sister.

00:15:33.960 I love to death, but she's a Democrat and she's smart as hell. 0.99

00:15:39.160 I'm not entirely sure where her brain went politically wise, but I was talking to her the other day and she lives in Manhattan as well.

00:15:45.560 And I was telling her, I can't wait for Mom Donnie to win.

00:15:48.220 She goes, why?

00:15:48.920 This is terrible.

00:15:49.800 I take the train every day.

00:15:51.040 I said, but you got to realize I almost said her name.

00:15:53.600 You got to realize this is what you people stand for.

00:15:58.560 This is what you.

00:15:59.460 Well, no, I don't.

00:16:00.800 I don't want that.

00:16:01.420 I just hate Trump.

00:16:02.420 Like, this is not what I wanted.

00:16:04.420 This is not what I said.

00:16:05.580 No, but this is what you've got now.

00:16:07.440 This is where you people have pushed the Democratic Party.

00:16:11.040 Now, the chips, as I say, are going to fall where they may, because this is the position that you've pushed into.

00:16:17.420 And I think a lot of them are starting to realize.

00:16:18.980 And it is, Mark.

00:16:20.020 It's it's it's not the people in the lower income areas.

00:16:24.080 It's not the people of minority who are pushing for this guy.

00:16:27.720 It's rich, white and Asian voters who are going to deal with the rap of this. 0.65

00:16:35.360 The subways are going to be out of control with crime.

00:16:38.480 And it's these rich white people who take the trains every day to their Wall Street jobs and their nice vests and briefcases. 0.94

00:16:46.120 It's these rich white people who are going to be walking up and down the street as prostitutes try to solicit them. 1.00

00:16:51.140 Now, they may or may not like it. 0.94

00:16:52.420 Who knows?

00:16:53.240 But it's going to be these rich white people who have to walk past the drug addicts on the street every single day.

00:16:58.420 I mean, I laugh at it because I know this is what it's come to.

00:17:03.720 And this is what it's going to be.

00:17:04.840 Mark, I've been doing this for far too long to not see that the path for victory from Donnie is about ninety nine percent to one.

00:17:11.900 And yeah, and that one percent is Cuomo and and so it was splitting a half a percentage each.

00:17:17.640 Yeah, it's one hundred percent.

00:17:19.060 He's going to win unless something majorly happens where the polls just somehow missed a complete groundswell of people voting against that guy.

00:17:27.380 It's not going to happen.

00:17:28.060 And already all of the wealthy people who have backed this guy who are in the financial insurance industries are starting to cut and run and look at places.

00:17:35.620 Apparently, real estate interest in Florida is starting to pick pick up.

00:17:40.260 And I think, you know, maybe Ron DeSantis should say, like, no, like Florida is not open to you.

00:17:44.880 People go back and seriously.

00:17:47.460 But this is this is the problem is that the Democrats looked around and watched this happen and they knew it was happening.

00:17:54.200 The Overton window has been moving left on every single thing.

00:17:58.080 And the reason is because they've had this no enemies to my left philosophy for so long that the radical left ideology became the core of their party because they wouldn't allow dissent and measured in many ways.

00:18:10.080 Now, 70 percent of Democrats support amnesty.

00:18:15.160 That's how high it's gotten.

00:18:16.340 Almost 60 percent of Democrats now support taxpayer funded reparation payments to the descendants of American slaves.

00:18:25.660 This is who they are.

00:18:26.700 You know, ubiquitously all pro-choice.

00:18:29.480 They are an impenetrable wall of radical leftism, not the Democrat Party to put moderate Bill Clinton into office.

00:18:37.200 Yeah.

00:18:37.780 Nobody to blame but themselves because the Republicans were certainly not involved at all.

00:18:42.720 Right.

00:18:43.020 This is something that the left totally did.

00:18:44.800 No.

00:18:45.660 And my favorite part about it all, Mark, is you've got these rich.

00:18:48.720 I mean, there's no doubt, arguably, Jamie Dimon is the most successful man on Wall Street, probably in history.

00:18:54.880 What most well paid, most successful him and his wife were out campaigning for Kamala Harris secretively.

00:19:02.000 Who stands for the same values, by the way, that mom, Donnie stands for, whether she says it out loud or not.

00:19:06.420 Right. 0.98

00:19:06.700 These people are all narcissistic, communist socialists. 0.99

00:19:11.500 Right. 0.97

00:19:11.700 So whether she says it out loud or not, whatever.

00:19:13.280 So he's out there campaigning and now he's sitting there.

00:19:16.040 He just opens up these.

00:19:17.060 I don't even know how many billions of dollars it costs is building standing next to Kathy Hochul.

00:19:22.140 And now he wants to come out and speak out and speak out and support Trump.

00:19:26.840 Bro, it's too late.

00:19:28.360 Your ship has already sailed.

00:19:29.880 You can't join the winning team after they have already won.

00:19:32.800 And Trump, to Trump's credit, has kept him on the sidelines, wants nothing to do with him, doesn't really care to even talk to him because Jamie's been wrong about, I mean, so many things.

00:19:41.740 There's going to be a recession.

00:19:42.820 There's not going to be a recession.

00:19:43.880 There's indicators that there's going to be a recession.

00:19:45.620 OK, tomorrow.

00:19:46.460 There's no reset.

00:19:47.180 I mean, dude, you can't be wrong when you flip flop 10 times on the same issue.

00:19:50.780 So to me, it's funny to watch these guys sitting there with Spider-Man's cobwebs all over their faces.

00:19:57.780 They're like, well, I don't know what we can do now.

00:20:00.240 This is what you created.

00:20:02.140 Yeah.

00:20:02.480 Well, especially the banking industry as well.

00:20:04.740 I think there's things going on that we've talked about this in the past, but they say inflation is cooled down and that we have it under control.

00:20:11.700 And yet we also have forty five hundred dollars gold per ounce.

00:20:15.340 Right. And then we have, OK, inflation is under control.

00:20:18.620 The CPI is flat.

00:20:20.300 But now look at how much money that we're spending in the national debt and how many dollars have to be printed in order to cover the interest on our debt.

00:20:27.420 And so the problem is, is that we've created this affordability crisis that isn't being measured by unemployment, by CPI.

00:20:34.100 And yet everybody knows it because real wages have been stagnant for like 15, 20 years.

00:20:38.560 Well, how did that happen?

00:20:39.740 Well, it started with the Bernanke bucks and the socialization of losses on the backs of the American people after the financial crisis and the concentration of wealth and power due to globalism and corporatism, the kleptocracy.

00:20:53.600 And it's gotten too much.

00:20:54.980 It has to be rolled back.

00:20:56.380 And I think those people at the top ultimately know it.

00:20:59.440 This was something I think you want to wanted to bring up later.

00:21:02.180 But I mean, just look at what Bill Gates, the limited hangout that he's doing about the climate change stuff.

00:21:06.740 Like they know that the music has stopped and they know that both the right and the left now are going to go after that, go after affordability.

00:21:15.840 And unfortunately, the left has a really good idea how to do that.

00:21:18.540 The right does not.

00:21:20.300 Oh, let's talk about Bill Gates now.

00:21:21.840 I brought it up.

00:21:22.500 So let's talk about it.

00:21:23.380 I mean, he's out today talking about climate change is no longer an issue.

00:21:28.740 This is a man who, with Al Gore, I mean, clapped their hands and stomped their feet on the floor for years, telling us that the world is coming to an end.

00:21:38.240 But now he says it's no threat to humanity after all.

00:21:40.320 This is after this man has been approved to make fake meats out of bugs and other weird organisms.

00:21:50.220 But nobody wants to talk about that. 0.94

00:21:52.360 Nobody talks about the hypocrisy of these people like Bill Gates. 0.90

00:21:57.120 What are they so scared of? 0.90

00:21:59.400 I mean, I think they see the writing on the wall.

00:22:02.600 America is ready to go after the elites.

00:22:05.840 The people on the right, the voters on the right are screaming for it almost as much as the people on the left.

00:22:11.720 And I think they know the grift is going too far.

00:22:14.300 If you look at what he said, it wasn't only just that it's no longer a near term existential threat.

00:22:20.240 It's that we have nearer term threats like domestic ones that we have to take care of, ostensibly acknowledging the fact that they've created a situation where America doesn't work.

00:22:32.860 And it's because of the stuff that they've done to it.

00:22:35.220 And unfortunately, the climate change brainwashing has been very, very successful.

00:22:39.780 We've been measuring it year after year.

00:22:42.020 And in just 10 years, it's gone from we have one tracking question, which is like, let me try and pull it up specifically.

00:22:49.540 Global warming is not a threat to the world.

00:22:54.960 Agree or disagree.

00:22:55.680 And 10 years ago, 55% disagreed with that statement.

00:23:01.360 And now it is, where is this one, 65%.

00:23:06.280 So now two-thirds of America thinks that global warming is a threat to the world.

00:23:12.100 And we all know why.

00:23:14.660 They've taken over education.

00:23:16.480 They've plastered it everywhere.

00:23:19.020 Every politician has to ubiquitously.

00:23:21.200 And we know why.

00:23:21.980 Even the right supports this, like we have to save the world.

00:23:25.680 From climate.

00:23:27.300 Even the right.

00:23:28.260 And we all know why.

00:23:29.460 It's because of lucrative private equity deals and the loans that they cut on the back end.

00:23:34.220 And the ability to create a whole new industry of clean energy that shifts the paradigm from oil exploration and all the Halliburton stuff into a bold new world where they can grift a higher margin.

00:23:46.880 I think that's really what it is.

00:23:48.100 And it's sick and perverse because so many people have become billionaires off the backs of, like, American rescue plan infrastructure projects on things like solar fields that are not going to turn a positive ROI.

00:24:02.720 But it doesn't matter because they get their 2 in 20.

00:24:05.800 They get their management fees.

00:24:07.120 They get their kickbacks.

00:24:08.060 Yeah.

00:24:08.980 Yeah, they absolutely don't care.

00:24:10.060 You're absolutely right.

00:24:10.880 Speaking of big corporations and corporate America, you've got some new polling out on economic populism.

00:24:16.060 So I guess it's only relevant that I preface your polling results with some news for you.

00:24:23.760 So India's government is drafting a bill, Mark, to expand and accelerate the already huge migration of Indians into America, into the developed world, including white-collar careers and Fortune 500 companies.

00:24:35.720 The, quote, overseas mobility bill will help Indian government train its young people amid recommendations from foreign companies, negotiate labor deals with foreign governments, and help find overseas Indians their home countries, according to the latest reporting.

00:24:51.480 So what says you, Mark?

00:24:54.360 Mr. Former Walmart employee.

00:24:57.620 Oh, my God, John.

00:24:58.800 Wait, what?

00:24:59.880 What's the name of this thing?

00:25:01.600 I'm sure we're taking it back.

00:25:03.640 This is why I didn't tell Mark before the show.

00:25:06.100 I told him, I said, we're going to talk about your economic populism polling.

00:25:10.160 I said, but don't bring it up because I've got a story for you.

00:25:13.540 And I knew I was going to railroad Mark with this because these are his arsh nemesis. 1.00

00:25:18.400 And Mark, for you to know, worked years in Walmart.

00:25:21.160 No, he wasn't walking down the aisle helping granny with the laundry detergent. 0.94

00:25:25.900 He was in the logistics of e-commerce.

00:25:32.880 Yeah, I was in e-commerce home office.

00:25:35.560 So I led a pretty big team, about 90 people.

00:25:38.840 And our job was to fix all the things that happened to your order at Walmart online that are all jacked up.

00:25:44.700 And, you know, things like, oh, I didn't get my email on time.

00:25:47.280 It had the wrong date.

00:25:48.200 They sent the wrong item.

00:25:49.420 The item just disappeared in shipping.

00:25:51.680 And then they blamed me and all these things.

00:25:53.960 And it's traditionally been really bad, like 100 times worse than Amazon.

00:25:58.440 And what I uncovered working there is essentially about 80% of the problems were because Walmart technology is 70% Indian foreign national. 0.99

00:26:06.780 And these people culturally just don't have the same kind of, let's just say, emphasis on quality assurance.

00:26:14.240 And it's what they call a high power distance culture, which means that often they just will not air bad news to the boss.

00:26:21.680 Instead, they just sweep it under the rug.

00:26:23.600 And so there's decades of legacy code problems just sort of swept under the rug at Walmart that are affecting customer experience.

00:26:29.820 But Walmart purposely leaned into this.

00:26:33.380 And this is what pisses me off and is so perverse about H-1Bs. 1.00

00:26:36.120 They made a decision.

00:26:37.600 We're going to go for cheaper engineering labor.

00:26:39.880 And what they do is they hire an Indian foreign national visa into like a C-suite or a VP slot.

00:26:44.840 And all of a sudden, all they do is hire Indians. 1.00

00:26:47.260 That's just, it's happened.

00:26:49.120 There's a real Matt Forney, F-O-R-N-E-Y on Twitter, a really great account to follow. 0.72

00:26:54.280 That's been going after company after company where this is happening.

00:26:57.040 There was a huge story about FedEx that just came out from Revolver News on this.

00:27:02.020 USAA, Capital One, Amazon, Google, every one of these companies is completely replacing not only just like white workers or domestic workers, 0.97

00:27:12.440 but just really any workers that happen to have families and kids and a spouse and are in their mid to late 30s and have higher salaries.

00:27:19.880 Because Obamacare made insurance so expensive.

00:27:22.680 And if you have a bottomless well of 25-year-old single somethings out of India that you can already pay 20% less, 0.99

00:27:28.900 you can make a lot of money there, even though it might screw up your entire corporate culture.

00:27:33.320 So we are literally taking the crown jewels of corporate America and just handing it on a silver platter to the third world. 0.99

00:27:41.680 70% of H-1Bs are Indians.

00:27:44.300 Oh, man, you asked me about the economic populism polling.

00:27:46.960 I'll make it real short.

00:27:47.980 I'm going to mark you down real quick as a no.

00:27:49.720 This is a no.

00:27:51.960 Yeah.

00:27:52.720 What's that, Bill?

00:27:53.420 I've got to look it up.

00:27:54.140 I'm going to make about 100 tweets on this thing today, man.

00:27:56.820 Just give me some followers while you're at it, please.

00:28:01.160 Well, you tweet them and send them to me.

00:28:03.580 Team me up.

00:28:04.480 Team me up, John.

00:28:07.240 It's called the Overseas Mobility Bill.

00:28:09.980 And I could go ahead and send you over the article, but they're training young Indians for future jobs overseas.

00:28:16.720 And they don't say America, but we could all guess where they want to go.

00:28:23.180 Wow.

00:28:23.620 I wonder if India has a sponsor and if they have any ties to U.S. politicians.

00:28:28.900 That would be awfully interesting.

00:28:30.840 Yeah.

00:28:32.300 You know, they want this to happen.

00:28:34.900 Even Vivek Ramaswamy is out there still with his sort of light.

00:28:38.940 Yeah.

00:28:39.480 You know, he says, well, we can make American workers less lazy if we just entice them by equity.

00:28:45.120 It's so bad.

00:28:47.000 So here's the, in my opinion, most important poll of the 2028 cycle.

00:28:51.520 We talk about liberal luxury beliefs, but I think conservatism is a luxury belief, too, even if you understood what conservative is at this point, which I don't think most people do.

00:29:00.840 No.

00:29:01.500 But we asked a question.

00:29:03.400 We defined economic populism for people as an economic and political approach that emphasizes growth and income distribution, often by opposing the perceived elites in favor of the interests.

00:29:16.040 Of the common people.

00:29:17.900 And 58% of America agrees that we need more economic populism.

00:29:22.680 Only 27% disagree.

00:29:24.840 And it's every political persuasion by a lot.

00:29:29.220 Democrats are the most, but then Republicans, too.

00:29:31.600 It's 56 to 27.

00:29:33.520 So in my opinion, it's like, OK, we got Trump in on America first platform, but people aren't going to measure this as a success unless there is economic abundance.

00:29:44.000 And so, in my opinion, the right platform for the right should be justice, fairness, accountability, and economic abundance.

00:29:50.520 And if they can't provide that, which they can't, they literally can't right now because of the interests of the Republican Party, the Democrats are going to win on democratic socialism.

00:29:59.040 And people, you can tell them that it's going to turn into an ism and they're not going to believe you because they don't trust the Republicans.

00:30:06.320 They are willing to roll the dice that what they get when they elect the Democrat socialism might turn them into communism.

00:30:13.360 And the right has no solution or offer to that.

00:30:15.720 And my advice to them would be people are saying prices are the number one issue.

00:30:20.200 Well, we all know that our inflationary system can't bring down prices.

00:30:23.500 It just can't.

00:30:24.440 So if you can't bring down prices, what can you do?

00:30:26.480 You can raise wages.

00:30:28.060 How can you raise wages?

00:30:29.940 Cancel every visa now. 1.00

00:30:32.560 Every single one.

00:30:33.580 All 2.6 million.

00:30:34.880 Send those people packing.

00:30:36.140 We don't need any more Punjabi truck drivers. 1.00

00:30:39.580 Yes, trucking will be more expensive for 6 to 12 months while we train new truck drivers.

00:30:44.020 But then the Zoomers will be able to afford houses because there will be a million more available. 1.00

00:30:49.960 They'll be able to.

00:30:51.340 We could do this tomorrow.

00:30:53.540 That's what the right has to do to win.

00:30:55.180 That kind of stuff.

00:30:56.100 Because easy options are over.

00:30:57.680 There's no like, yeah.

00:31:00.020 I think what needs to be done, Mark, is every single visa holder in this country, work visa, I mean, most of them are work visas, needs to be brought to a table. 0.98

00:31:08.800 We need to shut down the visa program right now, right? 1.00

00:31:12.120 Temporarily, at least.

00:31:13.920 And every single person who's a visa holder right now needs to be reevaluated.

00:31:18.940 They need to put all their resources, all the government resources into reevaluating these people's visas and see where we stand with them.

00:31:25.560 From there, I assume some will have to be sent back home.

00:31:29.940 Some will be allowed to stay.

00:31:31.560 From there, you tailor your numbers based off of that on your new visa program.

00:31:35.060 We can't just continue to go out here year and year and year and say, OK, we're going to allow in two and a half million this year.

00:31:40.620 We don't know how many stayed last time, how many people are here this time.

00:31:43.500 We can't allow three million this year based on no data or anything.

00:31:48.260 And I don't think they've done this in the last few administrations to see where we're really at.

00:31:53.180 It's the same concept that needs to be used, Mark, for immigration.

00:31:56.580 We need to stop all claims right now for everything.

00:32:00.420 We need to deport who we have to deport. 0.89

00:32:02.280 OK, and then you open up the books and say, OK, this year we're allowing in a million people.

00:32:08.540 And this is how you apply.

00:32:09.780 And that's the only way you're going to get this thing under control.

00:32:12.460 You can't co-mingle the two and allow some to come in, some to stay and some to go and then expect your numbers to all make sense.

00:32:19.820 It's not going to work.

00:32:21.340 Well, we need to make a distinction between legal immigration where people go through the citizen pathway and the temporary visa program that we have that people eventually sometimes do become citizens.

00:32:34.020 But the number of legal citizens, we have a process for that.

00:32:37.560 Those people are expected to assimilate.

00:32:39.280 We have tests.

00:32:40.220 Apparently, it's gotten harder.

00:32:41.240 The temporary visa people are people literally just treating America like an economic zone. 0.63

00:32:46.620 And they're going to come over here and they're going to work.

00:32:48.660 But then they're also going to be a burden on our housing, on our groceries, on our supply chains, on our health.

00:32:54.000 And they're not going to assimilate at all.

00:32:55.760 They're going to bring their culture over.

00:32:57.180 And we've seen that it's a problem.

00:32:59.140 It hasn't worked out.

00:33:00.900 And when you say evaluate the people, here's my concern.

00:33:03.660 There's 2.6 million of them, right?

00:33:05.220 And it's like you and I both can surmise that maybe about 1% of them are really like the rocket scientists that we needed where we took the best, the cream of the crop of the world and enticed them to come over.

00:33:16.360 Yeah.

00:33:16.860 But what's going to happen is when you go through that process, the National Truckers Association Union or whatever is going to come to Republican senators and say, what are you doing?

00:33:28.040 We need these people.

00:33:29.100 You can't just send them back.

00:33:30.280 And the answer is, quite frankly, no, we don't need these people.

00:33:34.000 But those are the ones that will pull funding.

00:33:36.820 They're the ones that will pull endorsements. 0.93

00:33:38.680 And so the politicians will just cave immediately and sell American workers down the river again.

00:33:44.440 It's the same old story over and over again.

00:33:47.260 And it's like we can't have a capitalist system if you can't have an independent government that will look out for the best interest of the American worker.

00:33:56.400 And all they've been looking out for is the best interest of the Fortune 500.

00:34:00.280 Well, you need to bring people in on these visas who are going to add value to America.

00:34:11.360 You don't need to bring in H-1B visa workers to go work a minimum wage job at Walmart or Dunkin' Donuts or 7-Eleven. 0.99

00:34:18.500 That's just absolutely absurd and it's absolutely stupid. 0.91

00:34:21.640 The H-1B visas need to be high-skilled people at a very, very small, small, small number who bring value to America and who bring value to the companies. 0.99

00:34:32.720 That's just my take on it.

00:34:33.440 Let me make a proposal.

00:34:35.740 Let's pass a law.

00:34:37.880 Let's use the nuclear option, pass a law, immigration reform.

00:34:40.840 Let's reform our legal immigration process to focus on assimilation. 0.69

00:34:46.820 That's who should be prioritized.

00:34:48.540 And if those people are so critical to the U.S., like, let's do this.

00:34:52.280 Let's bring them in legally without a temporary visa and make it permanent and maybe move them to the front of the line. 0.99

00:35:00.240 Right.

00:35:00.980 But why do we have this?

00:35:02.160 The problem is, is that when we have a temporary system and it's like for the benefit of academia and big business, it gets scammed.

00:35:11.860 And that's what happened.

00:35:12.860 It's all a scam.

00:35:14.020 And it ruined our economy because all job gains since COVID, every single one numerically net, right, have gone to foreign born workers and not domestic workers.

00:35:26.520 Number of domestic workers in the U.S. has actually shrunk since the COVID reorganization.

00:35:32.640 And why is that?

00:35:33.460 Well, the Biden administration was just selling the American worker down the drain.

00:35:37.800 And literally every corporation was bending over in order to assist.

00:35:42.020 Of course.

00:35:42.500 Let's tie this in.

00:35:43.300 I know you've got some new polling also on American family values and how this ties into that.

00:35:48.500 So let's get your take on that out of your latest polling that you've done this week.

00:35:51.880 Well, this is like a benchmark of where we're at, especially with the young voters, because that's ultimately who this comes down to.

00:35:59.560 Like Mom Donnie, sure, he's being backed by Upper West Side liberal wealthy people, right?

00:36:04.640 The banking and insurance industries, the people that run Manhattan.

00:36:08.940 But he wouldn't be successful if the women on TikTok were not bragging about sticking it to the patriarchy.

00:36:15.380 And like this is a problem, like just piggybacking off of the economic populism polling.

00:36:21.600 Democrats are overwhelmingly seen as the party of economic populism, 46 percent to 26 percent.

00:36:27.200 So even though Trump is the most economic populist president we've had in recent history, everybody still thinks that the Republican Party is the party of big business.

00:36:36.660 Only one third of 18 to 29.

00:36:38.540 And then the problem with 18 to 29 is we've gone into their mental health situation. 0.85

00:36:43.660 We've gone into the drugs we're on.

00:36:45.460 You sponsored that poll where we talked about all of the medication.

00:36:49.780 Their dating system is a complete problem, too.

00:36:54.100 They're not forming families.

00:36:56.320 But then if you look at we've got a lot of polling.

00:37:00.040 This one in particular I'll talk about.

00:37:01.920 But then also, where is it?

00:37:03.840 This one's family values.

00:37:04.980 But we also asked a question about how important is it that Americans get taught traditional Western values out of everybody.

00:37:13.580 The 18 to 29 year olds think that that's least important, which is horrifying.

00:37:17.560 But then this one would America be a better country if more people had traditional families, traditional families.

00:37:23.940 Now, what we're trying to do is get it this idea of like sort of divorce and LGBT and, you know, two mother households and that kind of thing.

00:37:32.440 And these people aren't getting assimilated into the American culture that we used to have.

00:37:39.260 Only 40 percent of 18 to 29 year olds think America would be better if we had more traditional families.

00:37:44.800 And so this is a cohort of people that everybody says is becoming more conservative.

00:37:48.620 They're going back to church more.

00:37:50.860 And it's like maybe, but not the majority of them.

00:37:53.380 They have again, they're completely punching out on the system that we are handing them.

00:37:58.740 And this is 18 to 29.

00:38:00.720 We're not talking about 12 year olds.

00:38:02.300 These are the people that are about to be in charge of the country. 0.98

00:38:05.160 And they don't give a crap about the way it was in the 60s or the 80s. 0.96

00:38:09.600 They just they don't even know. 0.95

00:38:11.420 They don't know how good it was.

00:38:13.360 And we haven't made the case for them because we thought that we could have economically libertarian positions and then sort of whiff on social conservatism.

00:38:22.720 And and really, the Republicans aren't making a case on anything that I haven't heard a really good Republican pro-life case in probably a decade.

00:38:31.280 Right. At least it's like they've completely given up.

00:38:34.680 Yeah, you're right.

00:38:36.340 Speaking of your polling, Mark, you've also done some polling this week on some snap benefits, which I guess are running out now because the Democrats don't care about the people in America.

00:38:46.200 They don't care about the lower class.

00:38:48.780 They don't care about the middle class.

00:38:50.320 The Democrats are truly the party of the rich.

00:38:52.520 They try to say it's the Republicans, but they are truly the party of the rich.

00:38:55.680 They cater to them through the back door.

00:38:58.140 No pun intended.

00:39:00.180 But what's your polling now showing about people and what they want out of this program that's running out of money?

00:39:08.620 Yeah, this is a pretty big topic because, in my opinion, it sort of shows how corrupt the Republican Party is.

00:39:14.400 Oh, I did a video kind of ranting about this because there was an article in The Guardian about how Coke's been worried that what happens if you take sugary beverages out of snap?

00:39:25.920 And it turns out that snap is like 20, 15 to 20 percent of all Coke's U.S. revenue.

00:39:32.340 Wow.

00:39:32.540 And so they basically, yeah, they basically use the American Beverage Association to purchase Republican lobbyists who hire Republican pollsters to put out fake polls that showed two Republican governors in states that were trying to circumvent the federal government's inaction on this to kill the bills.

00:39:51.620 And so they can keep selling sugary drinks to people who should be using this to put food on their table.

00:39:58.940 So it's really perverse how quickly just Republicans completely folded, because this was a key part of make America healthy again.

00:40:04.940 And what happened, like within two months of Trump coming into office, the beverage industry basically purchased online MAGA influencers in order to try to divide the right in order to make this become dead in the water.

00:40:19.080 So we went out and tested this.

00:40:22.140 Do you think people receiving food stamps should be allowed to purchase soft drinks and sugar sweetened beverages with food stamps or should not be allowed and should not be allowed wins 47 to 43, but it's 61 to 31 among Republicans.

00:40:36.840 So basically Republican lobbyists fabricated the opposite signal in a fake poll in order to save billions of dollars of revenue for Walmart and Coca-Cola and Pepsi.

00:40:48.320 And then do you agree or disagree with this statement?

00:40:52.940 It's nonsensical for U.S.

00:40:54.600 taxpayers to spend tens of billions of dollars subsidizing junk that harms the American, the health of low income Americans.

00:41:01.700 59% agree, 28% disagree. 0.94

00:41:05.960 And what's really wild is the only race of people who think that you should be able to buy soft drinks on snap is black voters. 1.00

00:41:14.940 Everybody else says no. 0.50

00:41:16.040 So, yeah, I don't know.

00:41:20.540 We'll see what's happening.

00:41:22.640 There has been people who have posted videos about using this idea of snap being, like we said, not funded to as a predicate to AstroTurf riots.

00:41:34.480 Yeah.

00:41:35.120 And it's a few days away.

00:41:37.060 I'm not sure.

00:41:37.720 42 million Americans, 120 billion in annual revenue.

00:41:41.460 25% of it goes to Walmart.

00:41:43.040 It's like, I think people, I don't see it happening.

00:41:46.560 I know you talked about it.

00:41:47.640 I just don't see how it happens. 1.00

00:41:48.800 I mean, Donald Trump has shown that he's not going to deal with this shit anymore. 1.00

00:41:52.780 He's not going to deal with riots in the street. 1.00

00:41:54.560 And they, the only riots we've seen so far have been from these illegal migrant protesters and all the people who go against them.

00:42:02.740 I love seeing the ones here in New York, Mark.

00:42:04.840 It was, it was like the blue haired freaks, the nose rings. 0.87

00:42:08.800 I mean, they got their, you know, staple at what they look like.

00:42:11.960 Yeah.

00:42:12.160 Pretty much.

00:42:12.700 It's like a template.

00:42:13.620 You got to have a nose ring.

00:42:14.540 You got to have like a bob haircut. 0.95

00:42:16.060 You got to have blue or pink hair or, you know, you just got to be like a total weirdo.

00:42:20.400 And none of these people would ever allow any of these migrants to live in their house or want to be anywhere near. 1.00

00:42:26.740 It's the same people that when you walk down the street and they see someone of a different race walking, they get scared and they walk the other way.

00:42:34.280 It's the whole thing. 0.98

00:42:35.080 It's just so damn hypocritical of it. 0.97

00:42:36.860 It's so sad and, and, and, and pathetic to see that this is what it's come to, but nobody calls it out, Mark, just you and I, two lonely alpha males on the internet. 0.98

00:42:50.160 Nice. 0.87

00:42:52.200 I like to think I'm an alpha.

00:42:54.580 Sometimes, unless it's, unless you're done.

00:42:57.660 I started lifting again a month ago, so we'll see, you know.

00:43:00.720 Yeah, but you also got a little Jack Russell that's five pounds, so, you know, I don't think that helps your case, Mark.

00:43:06.860 By the way, I've been trying to, I've been trying to kidnap Mark's dog or dognap Mark's dog.

00:43:12.760 I'm waiting to make my final move.

00:43:15.600 Freya.

00:43:17.940 You can see, she doesn't listen too much.

00:43:20.120 We'll see.

00:43:21.320 She sits out here all the time. 1.00

00:43:24.040 I'm working just sits there, but she won't come in.

00:43:26.120 And I don't have to shock her like Hassan does in order to keep her quiet. 0.83

00:43:29.600 So.

00:43:33.080 Mark, as always a delightful conversation.

00:43:35.420 I'm going to give you the last word here, as I always do.

00:43:39.640 Oh, last word.

00:43:40.760 I don't even know what to talk about.

00:43:42.000 We'll be streaming Thursday night, and we're going to really hammer this idea of economic populism because the right is just not prepared for this.

00:43:48.600 They need to really form ranks on this and take drastic action.

00:43:53.280 What I've been saying is that basically easy politics is over.

00:43:56.160 The idea that reaching across the aisle to make bipartisan compromise on things like compromising on conservative ideals.

00:44:04.880 No, people just want drastic action now.

00:44:07.340 And we all see the acceleration happening around us.

00:44:09.840 And I don't know where it's going to go, but maybe it'll be increased civil strife and riots breaking out because the right is doing it, too.

00:44:20.740 Like, look at what's happening in Chicago.

00:44:22.480 It's they're not just rounding up illegals.

00:44:23.960 They're being very overt about bringing National Guard in and DHS to attack the protesters.

00:44:29.660 And I can't say that I hate it.

00:44:31.640 You know what I mean?

00:44:32.360 Like it's and so there's this problem where we have an irreconcilable difference because they will willingly put a communist in office just in order to piss off Trump supporters.

00:44:42.600 And they don't care.

00:44:45.100 So we'll see where it goes.

00:44:46.880 Rasmussen underscore poll on Twitter at honest pollster on Twitter as well.

00:44:51.180 And yes, swing by and follow me because I'll be blasting out a bunch of hot takes that John has later.

00:44:56.700 There you go.

00:44:57.740 You know, you mentioned something.

00:44:59.660 I follow all these accounts on Instagram and it's like citizen journalists who follow, you know, streets of San Francisco streets in New York.

00:45:08.280 And I don't think we've actually ever talked about this, but the drug problem in this country, the fentanyl watching so much of our police force, so much of our paramedic force, so much of our fire departments have to spend their time day in and day out resuscitating people who just continue to overdose on fentanyl in the streets.

00:45:27.800 I don't even know how to approach the issue.

00:45:29.960 I don't know the answer to the issue, but I mean, it's gotten so damn bad, Mark.

00:45:35.180 The streets of this country are like, I mean, you wouldn't see streets as bad in a third world country because they would throw these people in insane asylums and in jail.

00:45:44.720 I don't know how we fix this problem, but this is among one of the top problems in this country.

00:45:50.100 We're militarizing against Chinese back narco states. 1.00

00:45:53.380 That's what's happening.

00:45:54.500 So, yeah, that's of course, that's the start of it.

00:45:56.780 But then what do you do about these people who are addicted on the streets, who will then find the next drug to, you know, the problem is, is stopping the drugs.

00:46:08.600 OK, that's one part of it.

00:46:09.900 But the next problem is, is helping these people from the next fix that they find.

00:46:13.460 And most of I don't blame.

00:46:15.340 I don't put the blame, by the way, fully on China on this, Mark.

00:46:18.080 I put a big part of the blame on doctors in this country over the hell out of people.

00:46:23.940 Purdue Pharma paid billions of dollars in fines because of this.

00:46:27.480 But that's not enough because of how many of these drug companies I tell this to people all the time.

00:46:32.440 I've I got four wisdom teeth pulled.

00:46:35.000 They gave me 40 Oxycontins. 0.95

00:46:36.340 I took one and I went to bed and I go, holy crap, that made me feel amazing. 0.84

00:46:40.760 I woke up the next morning, Mark, and I dumped them all down the toilet. 0.76

00:46:43.980 I said, I'm not.

00:46:44.660 This is insane.

00:46:45.660 Like there's an addictive ingredient in these pills that gets these people hooked on it.

00:46:51.400 And I totally see how they do it.

00:46:53.100 I mean, anyone who's taking one, it's like you go to sleep right away.

00:46:56.460 You don't battle to fall asleep through pain.

00:46:58.580 And you're like, this is insane that this is what has gone on in our country.

00:47:02.780 And it's not junkies on the street who's done it.

00:47:05.020 It's our smartest people in America, our doctors who are tasked with the responsibility of being responsible and taking care of patients.

00:47:13.920 Yeah, let's not forget the pharmacy industry and the lawsuits that have been levied against people like Walmart who have helped enable this kind of thing as well.

00:47:24.280 And you and I both know that America is not going to survive without a major reckoning in the health care industry to claw back what is 22 percent of our gross domestic product, 50 percent of which is funded by taxpayers.

00:47:38.500 That has to end yesterday.

00:47:39.940 But the problem is, is that we don't have a government that's independent enough to go after that, even with Trump in office, because there there has been really no RFK Jr. accountability on any of these things, because you talk about Oxy and that's like, OK, we're addicting people in order to sell drugs.

00:47:54.040 But what about all the allegations about things like Rems Desivere, where we were killing people for money?

00:48:01.220 And there's basically nobody cares like it's in the rearview mirror.

00:48:05.880 So, yeah, that has to get fixed.

00:48:07.620 But I want to be people call me a doomer.

00:48:09.580 I want to go out on an optimistic note.

00:48:11.780 And that is remember when we had national projects.

00:48:15.440 Remember when we put a man on the moon and America watched every.

00:48:19.300 Allegedly, yes.

00:48:20.040 Imagine a national project where we had to teach three million zoomers to code in order to take over three hundred and fifty billion dollars a year in salaries back from temporary visas. 0.56

00:48:33.380 I think America is so, so effective that we could do that in 12 months.

00:48:39.420 I think we could teach the zoomers to code. 1.00

00:48:41.520 And I'm going to be doing real quick here, Mark, because my opinion, it's a waste of time with A.I.

00:48:47.020 There's going to be no more coding.

00:48:50.040 You can go on ChatGPT right now, Mark.

00:48:53.940 You can put a website.

00:48:55.040 You can tell ChatGPT, you show them a website and say, give me a coding for a website with X, Y, and Z.

00:49:00.300 And ChatGPT will spit it back at you in 30 seconds.

00:49:03.140 So, John, you're making the case for me, though, why we still shouldn't have two million coders here.

00:49:07.000 Oh, I agree with you.

00:49:08.100 But I'm saying training the zoomers is. 0.99

00:49:11.500 Get their feet in the door.

00:49:12.340 Train the zoomers, Mark. 1.00

00:49:13.380 Train the zoomers to go be plumbers. 1.00

00:49:15.140 Train the zoomers to go be HVAC techs. 1.00

00:49:16.940 Go train the zoomers to be electric. 1.00

00:49:18.040 I have friends who are blue collar workers who are making six, seven hundred thousand dollars a year.

00:49:23.220 OK, and they got left out for not going to college.

00:49:25.760 So let's train the zoomers to do things that actually matter in this country. 1.00

00:49:30.400 That's my point.

00:49:31.120 Well, I think a lot of them already are, but we're not importing Punjabi HVAC installer people.

00:49:37.760 We're importing the coders because that's the easiest thing to lie about on the resume.

00:49:42.680 And so let's just get rid of them.

00:49:44.340 You know what I mean?

00:49:44.980 And it's like, OK, maybe if your job turns to AI five years from now, at least you've been acclimated into the corporate client.

00:49:50.680 You have a resume.

00:49:51.580 You know what the culture is like instead of this nihilism that turns people to drugs.

00:49:57.940 I think that one of the ways to deal with this, there's economic abundance.

00:50:01.840 That's what we have to go after.

00:50:03.500 You're not going to be able to stamp out all the addiction.

00:50:05.580 But if you present people a system that works, that wants them to be happy, there's a successful dating situation.

00:50:14.860 You're not going to get your house stolen from you in a divorce.

00:50:18.180 There aren't you don't need drugs because you have a future like self-actualization.

00:50:22.940 We don't do that at all.

00:50:24.340 These people have no future.

00:50:25.980 And so we have to give them one.

00:50:27.780 I agree with you.

00:50:29.360 I guess we found some common ground on that.

00:50:31.260 We can end on a high note.

00:50:32.180 So Rasmussen underscore poll folks on YouTube, honest pollster on Twitter, Rasmussen reports on Twitter as well.

00:50:41.320 They do a terrific job, folks.

00:50:43.000 Mark Mitchell, we'll see you next week, my friend.

00:50:45.020 Yeah, great to be here.

00:50:45.800 Thanks, John.

00:50:46.680 Thanks to Mark Mitchell, folks.

00:50:47.780 And thank you all for being with us today here on the Great America Show.

00:50:50.040 We'll see you back here tomorrow.

00:50:51.000 Truth, justice and the American way.

00:50:52.820 Same time, same place.

00:50:54.320 Until then, may God bless you.
