00:00:00.000
now as promised my good friend and lead pollster in america and head pollster for rasmussen reports
00:00:10.840
the great mark mitchell mark as always it's a delight to see you it's a delight to talk with
00:00:15.760
you uh let's start with what happened over the weekend i was trying to enjoy my birthday
00:00:21.040
relax a little bit take like two days off and then shit hit the fan all of a sudden
00:00:28.100
piles of bricks and cinder blocks are appearing on street corners and i said hold on a second i gotta
00:00:34.340
get to work because i've been talking about this for two months what's going on what a weekend and
00:00:39.760
happy birthday i didn't know it was your birthday congratulations one year closer to death as they
00:00:44.860
would say but uh yeah it was crazy i spent all weekend on twitter as well mostly making jokes
00:00:51.560
about how ridiculous all of this is i mean just the idea of all these pallets of bricks laying around
00:00:57.240
with a big sign like protecting democracy brand bricks you know i think it's hilarious uh but man
00:01:06.220
what's weird to me is just how it defies all logic and like to be a democrat must be really horrifying
00:01:14.500
to live with all that cognitive dissonance because these are people who spent the last four years
00:01:19.220
essentially cheapening the word insurrection basically anything's inner insurrection now and
00:01:24.600
now they find themselves on the opposite end of it and it's like hold up uh but this was kind of
00:01:28.960
super predictable and it shows what a weird situation we're in is that all this stuff that
00:01:34.080
democrats are doing right now is politically not viable like they're supporting 30 35 positions
00:01:41.020
people overwhelmingly support our law enforcement they support deportation of illegal aliens and here you
00:01:47.400
have gavin newsom standing up there and essentially making this his cause celeb you're not going to win
00:01:52.500
an election that way and so i can only infer that there's nefarious stuff going on behind the scenes
00:01:58.200
like how can we not think that why does it appear like all these democrat leaders are itching for some kind
00:02:04.560
of confrontation with the federal government i can only surmise that maybe they've been promised help from
00:02:10.300
foreign entities or something i don't know maybe our own agencies but it's certainly not to win
00:02:16.220
election because gavin newsom was pulling like crap even before any of this stuff happened they asked
00:02:21.860
donald trump in part of that press conference we played in the monologue what is gavin newsom guilty of
00:02:26.520
and donald trump said he's guilty of running for governor uh i mean just yeah i mean absolutely brilliant
00:02:32.500
you mentioned something uh very often and donald trump was actually asked about it this afternoon let's take
00:02:38.340
a listen what do you make what do you make of the fact that he says you want a civil war on the streets
00:02:44.540
of america no this is the opposite i don't want a civil war a civil war would happen if you left it if
00:02:51.020
you left it to people like him and i like him you know i always got along with him never had a problem
00:02:56.480
with him but he's grossly incompetent he said the word civil war mark it's something you've been
00:03:03.280
talking about for quite some while you say that america is actually in a civil war right now
00:03:08.240
very often as well what's going on yeah with this level of open lawlessness with our own federal
00:03:15.720
agencies defying the executive power with radical judges willing to just do whatever the hell they
00:03:21.280
want in order to get their leftist outcomes it's kind of in my opinion like a cold civil war this is
00:03:27.660
not the quote political divisiveness that we had back in the bush gore era this is something totally
00:03:33.760
different and we've been tracking it many different ways it's like two totally different halves of
00:03:38.600
america that believe their own reality set and one of those halves is willing to whip up their followers
00:03:44.500
into a froth to try and get these kind of outcomes they do it over and over again it's starting to get
00:03:49.180
really predictable i predicted this as well as well like we've been following risk of civil war we ask a
00:03:56.060
question how likely is it the civil war will happen in the next few years in america and the number has been
00:04:01.980
going up it started in the low 30s it got up to 43 who said it was at least somewhat likely over the
00:04:07.000
next couple of years so listen i mean maybe it could be higher but that is like stunningly bad and so here
00:04:13.400
you have trump getting power uh the political winds have shifted against the democrats in a way where it
00:04:19.520
doesn't look like things favor them and yet they are you know pretty attached to power and so it seems
00:04:26.100
like they have you know a drive to really test the limits i went on uh tim civil war pools show and we
00:04:34.420
talked about this then he gave some scenarios because this has been his topic of interest as well
00:04:39.680
and the scenario i came up with is i think it was very predictable that one of these blue state
00:04:45.940
sanctuary state governors was going to test the federal authorities and here you have it and it's like
00:04:51.200
we're back in 1860 this is literally people uh this is a state's right issue over human representation
00:05:00.080
with states threatening to secede or pull taxpayer funding or do whatever to get their way
00:05:06.740
and so here we are this is the democrats and what they want for america yeah you brought up a good point
00:05:12.540
they're attached to power but i also say they're detached from reality and the reality is
00:05:18.620
is exactly what you said this is i saw a poll over the weekend and i don't want to give uh any credit
00:05:24.760
to any other pollsters out there but their numbers are showing what your numbers show i think it was a
00:05:29.180
you gov and cbs poll two far left marxist radical organizations it doesn't get much further left than
00:05:36.880
that uh maybe with george soros is is a little bit further left you go but they're there and their
00:05:42.880
numbers show the same exact thing americans still now months into this administration
00:05:46.980
support the deportations but we're letting these people mark overtake the streets in new york city
00:05:53.600
once again new york city uh it's probably coming to new york city next uh in los angeles yeah right
00:05:59.140
and terrorize the city these these illegal migrants are terrorizing our cities and we're supposed to sit
00:06:05.360
back and watch and then they have the audacity to say this is donald trump doing this
00:06:10.320
yeah no it's sick and the numbers again i think our numbers are probably a little higher than them
00:06:16.780
but basically what you need to take away from this is a mass deportation is a two to one issue
00:06:21.820
it's two to one and it's we've time and time again it's not going to change the number is probably only
00:06:27.500
going to go up and i think the reason we're seeing in california is probably because they have
00:06:32.260
as many as one in four of the illegal immigrants in the united states what we're seeing i think now is the
00:06:37.860
kind of reaction that you'd expect to see if a carefully planned uh you know take let's roll back
00:06:49.480
look at that you see all those those stones just sitting there somehow
00:07:15.040
look at that somehow those things all just appeared there
00:07:18.980
yeah i love our late stage capitalist dystopia i love these images that basically look like
00:07:25.800
something out of beirut and yet there's all those like high-tech vc backed rental scooters lying
00:07:32.100
around in the wreckage it's something kind of perverse about that there's a new paradigm of uh
00:07:38.480
like we've lived through this before america has been lied to about peaceful protests and what the
00:07:44.660
democrats don't understand or maybe they're do they do and they expect a blowback i don't know
00:07:49.820
but america in my opinion figured out how to understand the truth of these things and it's happening on
00:07:55.760
twitter but even back in this was june 21 were the widespread disturbances in u.s cities last summer
00:08:01.640
mostly peaceful protests or were they riots and riots won 52 to 35 i think the numbers would be
00:08:08.500
worse now if we tested it and so i i mean again like even the month after they happened in 2020
00:08:15.180
people thought it was mostly criminals taking advantage of the situation 57 to legitimate outrage
00:08:21.340
of the police 32 and this is like peak kumbaya blm corporate global homo pushed you know hand
00:08:29.500
holding and now we're in a totally different world where there's blowback against all these forces
00:08:34.940
and i i just don't see it you have gavin newsom out there tweet storming and everybody ratioing him
00:08:41.720
and he thinks he's doing the right thing for his political this is going nowhere good you don't have
00:08:47.400
to agree with me or disagree with me on this you don't have to give your comment because i don't want
00:08:50.440
to get you in trouble but in my opinion in the last six years out of all the big protests we've had
00:08:57.240
mark i think the most peaceful protest i've seen is january 6th in the grand scheme of things you look
00:09:04.760
at what we've gone through you went through the summer of love which was burning down buildings
00:09:10.220
destroying buildings absolutely but you and i were in dc injured cops right we were in dc last week and i was
00:09:17.380
making a joke that uh we were sitting we were staying in the capitol together waiting for uh
00:09:22.260
chairman jim jordan and i and i was joking with you telling you look at all this this was all burned
00:09:26.600
down and i won't say who it was but a very high level staffer said no that's not true i was at work
00:09:31.980
here the very next day yeah they did a good job fixing it up after all of that chaos think about all
00:09:40.380
the protests we've had protests right peaceful protests in my opinion if you take the agitators
00:09:46.560
out of january 6th the government informants the paid people there january 6th is the most peaceful
00:09:51.360
protest i've seen in my opinion in the last six years john you and i in the capitol building did
00:09:58.060
more of an insurrection than 99.9 percent of the people that entered those that threshold on january 6th
00:10:04.600
let's be real we walked around we took some pictures uh let's let's actually talk about that
00:10:09.680
a little bit because you hadn't been in dc you told me in a while and you know you never got to
00:10:15.100
walk the halls of congress that way and see the people interacting and you joined me for a bunch of
00:10:20.140
the interviews which was awesome to have you um because i wanted you to see how it works i mean i
00:10:25.580
spent some time working there yeah and by the end of the night um where we sat down for dinner by the
00:10:31.800
way mark and i sit down for dinner with a friend of mine all of a sudden my phone starts acting really
00:10:36.340
weird and walks walks in behind mark is john ratcliffe the director of the cia and then follow
00:10:42.240
him is cash patel the fbi and then just yeah you took a sweet picture yeah i got a good picture of
00:10:48.600
mark so where uh uh in there but um give me your analysis on how dc works in your opinion because you
00:10:58.460
were noticeably annoyed by the end of the night i've been harsh on dc i've called it occupied
00:11:04.500
territory i've called it an unholy alliance between globo homo corporations and the government
00:11:10.240
kleptocrats in order to oppress the people those are strong words and i wonder you know i feel like
00:11:16.560
i have a duty to tell the truth as i see it to my people since i'm talking about politics to my
00:11:21.480
followers and so it was a pretty good opportunity to learn and what i think down there is that i got is
00:11:27.700
that that might be the case but 90 percent of it is probably unintentional these people live in a
00:11:34.900
complete bubble of just made up uh self-delusion i think look look at we're in an existential crisis
00:11:42.040
in this country where i don't know months from default who knows right we have literally cities
00:11:47.100
popping off and you know you have congressmen representatives talking about how they have
00:11:52.060
friends they sit down with on the democrat side they go out to the same cocktail parties
00:11:55.960
everybody in congress just seemed like they were having a blast they all got out at 4 30 went to
00:12:00.720
happy hour out in a sunny day walking around with big old smiles on their face it was just not i mean
00:12:06.960
it's just it seemed like a completely different america these people in my opinion also don't reflect
00:12:12.960
america they reflect wealthy sons and daughters of people who got their kids into uh you know georgetown
00:12:19.880
and they got like them an internship and that's basically who's running all these offices right
00:12:25.660
they're interchangeable they all seem like the same people probably the least diverse professional
00:12:30.400
environment i've ever seen in my entire life and uh yeah they don't i don't know if they think how
00:12:37.580
close we are to this whole thing falling apart they just seem like business as usual and that's what
00:12:43.600
we're fighting we're fighting business as usual as in dc you and i both had some meetings to attend to
00:12:49.420
while we're down there and one of the ones i attended to was um with a member of congress off the record
00:12:55.540
and um i won't say who it was obviously but there's big changes mark beyond what's happening in front of
00:13:03.340
our faces and one of them is one that the republicans and democrats don't want to talk about
00:13:07.480
and uh the audience gets very mad when i talk about this but it's just the reality of it and it's it's
00:13:13.060
what we call entitlements of social security now some people don't agree with the the name of it
00:13:17.400
entitlements it's what they are uh social security medicaid and medicare and one of these uh members i
00:13:23.980
was talking to that intimated to me that we're in a lot of trouble that this thing is running out of
00:13:29.100
money and it's unsustainable the way it is right now now if i told you i had a solution to it mark i'd be
00:13:35.240
lying to you but um it's going to come down to and this is going to piss a lot of people off of
00:13:40.280
raising the retirement age and and and uh massive massive reforms and fraud now i wouldn't be saying
00:13:48.440
that and trust me i don't want to work mark any more years than i have to you don't either but the
00:13:53.700
way that we've gotten in this situation is because of so much waste fraud and abuse of the system
00:13:59.300
that it's now a system that's completely freaking depleted so we've got ourselves into this
00:14:04.880
situation it's either we reform it we fix it or there's no money so what do we do well i can just
00:14:12.700
say that our current slate of lawmakers are not in the correct mindset to address this issue they just
00:14:17.860
aren't and so that's a problem that our republic's going to figure out how to face maybe we just need
00:14:22.880
a quick five-year dictatorial leader and then we can go back to a republic i don't know i think the
00:14:28.660
listen giving people promising them benefits is just maybe too powerful i think looking at our
00:14:34.940
current crisis it really was caused by lbj then let me first say i don't think the voters should
00:14:40.620
be getting the bad rap here we've asked them voters want the government shut down to achieve spending
00:14:45.920
voters overwhelmingly think that it's politicians unwillingness to cut that's preventing us from
00:14:52.000
having a balanced budget like we've polled about this all the time independents are very anti-big
00:14:57.780
spending as are republicans and so i think most of these cuts would actually go over pretty well and
00:15:03.920
then off the charts voters have said they've been angry at the level of waste fraud and abuse that was
00:15:08.280
exposed by doge but listen they they all come back to oh entitlement reform grandma's not going to be able
00:15:16.000
to get her paychecks until later you the government failed in his promises but here is what was so evil
00:15:22.420
about what happened when lbj promised medicare and medicaid to the entire country or whatever
00:15:28.380
uh health care spending was less than two percent of gross domestic product it was closer to one percent
00:15:34.000
now it's like twenty percent and so the problem is is that that promise just kept giving and giving and
00:15:41.600
most of its taxpayer funded and so you actually probably could do a pretty good job cutting the heck out of
00:15:47.880
medicare and medicaid by just reforming the way health care works in america because of regulatory capture
00:15:53.480
we we basically have a medical monopoly monopoly that determines uh what gets spent on people because of
00:16:00.600
certain illnesses and it's always the most expensive because the taxpayer is getting robbed and the fact that
00:16:07.180
these people have absolutely no intention of even bringing that topic up comes back to i think well
00:16:13.580
you know it's awfully uh roi positive to buy a senator yeah you and i spoke for this about a for about an
00:16:21.480
hour i think over the weekend um the problem is is everyone is so damn scared of their next election
00:16:28.020
and that they won't get their 174 000 paycheck as a member of congress and you know i always say i i believe
00:16:35.780
in primaries i think they're excellent tools to get people out of office that should no longer be
00:16:40.600
there i some say you have to bite the bullet some say you have to but nobody wants to do it the
00:16:45.900
democrats are terrified to do it the republicans are terrified to do it what this member of congress
00:16:50.620
intimated to me was that maybe they're going to try to work together to do it and like i said the
00:16:54.780
audience is probably tuning out right now like at an alarmingly high rate but this is not me saying this
00:17:00.780
as a person who wants this this is what it's come to the other thing you forgot to mention mark
00:17:05.580
in those numbers is we also didn't have 20 million to 30 million illegals in the country
00:17:10.300
back then that we're paying for like they're our own so the whole thing it's not just these these
00:17:16.620
three things that need reform it's everything that needs to reform you get these illegals out of here
00:17:21.100
you stop paying for them you stop subsidizing everything under the sun school hospital everything
00:17:26.080
for these people and then maybe you have a little bit less to work with you and i spoke spoke like i said
00:17:32.820
about this over the weekend maybe something and i'm no expert in this and i don't want to be an expert
00:17:37.260
in it because i hate it but maybe you put the burden on private companies a little bit more to pay for an
00:17:42.160
extra year of health care for people after they retire to to sort of subsidize and the government
00:17:47.200
gives them sort of some sort of tax right i don't know what the answer is and i'm not the only one
00:17:52.140
because clearly there is no right answer to this i our republic is on the verge of dying and if it dies
00:18:01.420
it will be health care that killed it an unwillingness to make the correct sale to the american people
00:18:08.580
an unwillingness to put the right policy in place if we had just capped medicare and medicaid at the
00:18:14.880
percentage of gdp it was back in 1970 i asked rock this you know what our death our our total public
00:18:21.420
debt would be right now not 37 trillion minimal it'd be 11 so literally we've given our kids futures away
00:18:31.220
to pay for sick care for old people what's that going into drugs that don't do anything oncology that
00:18:38.840
basically just kills people slower like sick care we give people like all of these health care as a
00:18:46.060
service to pay for essentially our unwillingness to live healthy right and i mean i think corporations
00:18:52.840
are partly to blame for some of this but again that's what happened and nobody is addressing it
00:18:58.720
right now they're saying entitlement reform and what that means right is that we're still going to give
00:19:03.420
you the same garbage health care we're still going to throw like all these expensive
00:19:08.380
solutions that don't actually have good outcomes if people were just going to start later yeah or of
00:19:14.320
course more than under insurance companies or whatever you know the other thing we spoke about
00:19:18.160
which was you bring up a good point is uh you remember during covid hydroxychloroquine ivermectin
00:19:23.800
you know they came out and they said these things are going to kill people they're actually going to
00:19:27.160
kill people and you know it made me think about something and i mentioned it to you is
00:19:31.520
ozepic all you read about now is ozepic is making people go blind it's making people uh lose muscle
00:19:38.320
mass it's making people's face go jaundice and i think i thought to myself why would the health
00:19:43.060
care industry be so against people whatever way they can lose weight why would they be so against
00:19:48.360
it and i thought to myself think about it if you put somebody on ozepic and they have high cholesterol
00:19:52.820
it brings their cholesterol down if they have diabetes it brings their diabetes down maybe they
00:19:57.320
don't have diabetes anymore maybe they get off all the medicines uh blood pressure maybe it brings
00:20:03.080
their blood pressure down so now by taking this one drug you've gotten rid of three uh massive
00:20:08.880
health conditions which would cost the pharmaceutical industry probably presumably millions of dollars over
00:20:13.920
the course of your lifetime and it just it makes everything connect mark oh it all comes together i
00:20:20.820
mean let's talk about fat shaming and the body positivity movement right here's the problem it's
00:20:26.720
listen i love free market capitalism right and i think what we have now is not free market
00:20:31.940
capitalism and uh you know i think we all have to be a realist though and understand that human
00:20:38.260
systems aren't going to work unless there's some type of oversight or accountability feedback loop
00:20:42.400
and ours is broken and here's the problem we could have a perfect free market capitalist capitalist system
00:20:48.280
right now but fat people are more profitable than skinny people and capitalism will figure that out and
00:20:55.120
exploit it that you can sell them more food you can sell them bigger clothes maybe their weight
00:21:00.160
changes you can sell them different clothes they could consume more health and body um you know
00:21:07.360
uh diet products and then they cost more for health care so everybody profits and i like that's
00:21:15.560
obviously a really bad way to order things right and so again nobody's talking about that it's it's
00:21:20.760
just like we are looking for ways to paper over our problems and maintain the status quo but our future
00:21:27.180
does not involve keeping the status quo it's impossible it's not going to happen let's let's
00:21:32.480
turn to something that you and i worked on uh over the last few weeks some mental health numbers uh
00:21:38.760
why americans are so unhappy um actually you know what let's let's put a hold on that what we're
00:21:46.120
going to talk about that but let's talk let's turn to uh since we're on the top let's turn to doge
00:21:50.680
before we move on okay americans elon musk we'll talk about mental health because elon musk i believe
00:21:56.360
is going through some sort of mental health crisis on his own oh that's the tie-in i was wondering
00:22:01.320
how you're going to do that uh i've been doing this for a little bit mark um what are what are americans
00:22:08.740
saying right now in your latest numbers about doge so doge is perceived to be a failure people are
00:22:17.180
going to say oh hold up hold up it was so it was so soon they haven't had a chance to blah blah blah
00:22:21.980
well okay but public opinion realities don't care about your facts that's just what it is
00:22:26.600
and the polling doesn't lie doge came in it was more popular than trump it had a 55 favorability
00:22:33.180
number uh trump just hasn't been at that level and people were overwhelmingly happy with the idea of
00:22:38.720
for instance doge auditing social security that got like almost 67 so people were paying attention to
00:22:45.360
stuff that was coming out about all this and even though elon's numbers kind of declined because
00:22:50.000
of the tax on him doge stayed really high but just in the last couple months something has clicked and
00:22:56.560
changed and here here's the question set and it's just not good elon musk recently announced he's
00:23:01.660
stepping down from leading doge in this role has he done more to help or hurt the country only 40 say
00:23:08.820
help 48 say hurt and so he i mean that's a pretty big political blow for him only 66 percent of
00:23:15.820
republicans say help and independents say hurt 46 to 35 and then doge was supposed to identify waste
00:23:22.620
fraud abuse in federal government spending has it mostly succeeded or mostly failed in his job and
00:23:28.960
failed wins 47 to 44 only 73 percent of republicans say mostly succeeded and independents say failed 50 to
00:23:37.300
38 and so what's weird about that is you could say oh well maybe it's because everybody was upset
00:23:42.240
about trump because of this or because of that and the answer is no like in this same poll we have
00:23:48.260
trump up three or four points with like a 52 percent favorability number and right track still in the
00:23:53.140
high 40s so there's something very specific i think people are feeling this rug pull and i think that's
00:23:58.820
really what it was where elon came in promising a trillion dollars in savings out of the deficit
00:24:04.780
and looked like he was on it on his way with all these things he was showing people and now all
00:24:09.640
of a sudden it's like oh no we're going to pass this thing and we're going to spend 60 trillion dollars
00:24:13.460
he learned the hard way about over uh over promising in the world of politics people don't forget mark in
00:24:20.220
this in this game of politics they're not forgiving either you if you if you cross a voter and i spent most of
00:24:27.420
my career mark working in politics and congressional politics talking to voters when you cross a voter
00:24:32.720
it takes a lot for them to forget mark what you did and what you lied about and a lot of them hold
00:24:38.080
a grudge um well republicans in congress numbers have not been good here as well the theme is is that
00:24:45.920
people think that yeah exactly so trump's numbers are up republicans numbers in congress are down
00:24:53.540
doja's numbers are down so people think that trump's team is failing him yeah i mean you heard me say this
00:25:00.780
to every single member i spoke to mark last week the least amount of bills put to a president's desk
00:25:05.440
in 70 years that's on you guys that's not on president trump and uh you know we'll see what
00:25:12.460
happens on everybody else there was no cohesion there at all in any of those discussions even the
00:25:18.620
one that we didn't mention was there no central theme of oh this is what everybody wants on the
00:25:24.300
republican side and so here's what i'm trying to do to help it it's literally like no this is what
00:25:29.200
i'm talking about today because i feel like just doing my own thing that's what it is they're
00:25:33.900
completely it's like and of course it's hurting cats to get anything across now on the left i don't
00:25:40.600
know if it's like somebody's got compromise or they're you or arabella is threatening to pull money
00:25:45.560
or whatever but they have no problem hurting the cats and so republicans just totally lack this
00:25:51.700
and what's crazy is that the republican policy set is the most principled yes and so we can't we that's
00:26:00.120
the primary problem we can't figure out how to step up and make tough decisions to solve a principled
00:26:06.400
set of issues yeah the republican party has no unity and it has a very big problem with messaging
00:26:11.500
and uh it seems it's gonna probably start to be some sort of growing frustration with mike johnson
00:26:17.660
uh because he i don't really know what mike johnson has done this time around uh so he's got to figure
00:26:26.080
out what the hell he's gonna do here because he's running out of time independents are breaking on the
00:26:31.380
bbb the big beautiful bill what are your numbers show so these are brand new not out yet so i always
00:26:41.080
give you a chance to tease the numbers here john did i do for you uh people are following it closely
00:26:48.260
40 percent very 35 percent somewhat republicans democrats independents are all kind of following
00:26:54.160
it closely but independents actually like most which i independents are very spending driven it's
00:26:59.940
something important to understand that's where they pull most like republicans in order for the one big
00:27:05.200
beautiful bill to become law it must be approved by the senate should the senate approve the one big
00:27:10.500
beautiful bill only 37 say yes 43 say no wow now compared to like listen i pull more pro-trump
00:27:20.420
republicans and and older people sometimes than others i think i get a more politically astute crowd
00:27:25.260
but these numbers even despite that are just not good only 63 percent of republicans say yes
00:27:31.000
independents say no 50 to 31 only one third of independents want this bill to pass
00:27:36.740
do you agree or disagree with this statement uh i think this was a was this an elon musk quote
00:27:42.140
this massive outrageous pork-filled congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination
00:27:48.100
yes that was elon 58 percent agree only 28 percent disagree so that's two to one
00:27:54.900
48 percent of republicans agree yeah the messaging on this bill has just been all over the place and uh
00:28:01.660
i'm fairly confident it's not going to pass the way it is right now just because of everything
00:28:08.000
that's gone on uh whatever happened to them doing the 12 or 13 appropriations bill individually
00:28:13.440
whatever happened with that yeah this was somebody's strategy and i understand like listen i understand
00:28:20.940
that trump doesn't control the keys to congress he can't make those people do really quite frankly
00:28:26.060
anything it looks like but the one big beautiful bill i think was his attempt to say listen something's
00:28:31.760
going to pass and i'm going to have to try and make it look like a success and it does have a lot of my
00:28:35.760
agenda items in it and almost like he was forced to just let congress do whatever it wants but again
00:28:42.320
we're talking about existential level events for our republic right now and everybody's just
00:28:49.640
leaving at 4 30 and going to happy hour and drinking those taxpayer or eating those taxpayer funded steaks
00:28:55.720
like that's what i felt like down in dc oh that's great uh happy hour bull feathers and dinner at the
00:29:03.700
capitol grill is uh is the mantra yeah i guess they must be making good money is three and eighty
00:29:08.820
dollar steaks every night right um yeah so president trump's approval and right direction you've got some
00:29:16.920
new numbers for us after the elan fallout and it seems america's united behind donald trump because
00:29:23.020
uh they voted for donald trump not elan musk and elan musk was afforded a great opportunity to go
00:29:30.200
to do a great job and uh he turned his back on his friend and this is like the this is what happens to
00:29:36.280
donald trump he brings people in he lets his guard down he trusts people way too much and they stab him
00:29:42.240
in the back it's constantly what happens and i feel bad for the guy i feel bad for donald trump because he
00:29:47.480
has a guy who he thinks is his friend donald trump brings him in donald trump's his only friend if
00:29:52.280
you look nobody likes elan musk he has not one friend donald trump puts up with him donald trump
00:29:58.880
brings him under his wing takes him everywhere interested in access yeah the access is unlike
00:30:03.820
anything ever and he stabs him in the back i've lost all respect for elan
00:30:09.000
yeah it was not a good look and he's i think he's embarrassed and trying to play it off now
00:30:16.240
i think there was probably something medication related going on but again we're talking about
00:30:22.100
the future of our country here you can't do this stuff like imagine if trump had some plan
00:30:26.540
like i don't know what the plan is with this bill i really don't but if elan just disagreed and trump's
00:30:33.200
like no we're doing this next looks probably a problem with communication and expectation setting but
00:30:38.740
still the fact that one guy can use his access and just blow up like that and a lot of people
00:30:44.500
are on twitter well here's the weird thing i don't know where twitter has come out on this one yet i
00:30:49.540
think twitter will decide what it likes and what it doesn't just like it did on the h1b thing and elon
00:30:54.340
came out on the wrong side on that one i can tell you right now but but here's the corollary here's
00:30:59.520
here's the law of trump now is that pretty much anything can happen and it's not going to change his
00:31:04.160
numbers 51 percent approve 48 percent disapprove right track still at 45 percent republican approval
00:31:10.440
still 83 percent so at this point i really don't know what he can do to have his numbers get messed
00:31:15.020
up maybe a default i don't know i really don't know i think trump supporters would probably rightly
00:31:20.680
blame the democrats i don't know yeah i just don't know he made such a mistake and it was so telling to
00:31:26.420
see the people on twitter who were scared about what they would say because of monetization and what
00:31:31.260
they what they would uh what would be done to them telling but you saw what you needed to see
00:31:36.140
uh before we wrap up here mark let's talk about some mental health uh here in america on the case of
00:31:42.420
elon musk and his non-prescription or prescription medicine that drove him a wall um we did a mental
00:31:50.300
health poll tell us tell the audience what uh what came back and what was asked mental health is very
00:31:58.440
important to understanding what's going on here because i think the gaslighting operations
00:32:02.220
quite frankly are starting to drive people insane one of the things i've referred to is just how
00:32:07.800
stark the divide is between people who watch msnbc and fox news we've talked about this before in your
00:32:13.660
show but it's just incredible they believe completely two different things like the msnb msnbc people have
00:32:20.580
been taught to believe that some um nebulous threat to democracy is our issue our nation's number one
00:32:27.240
issue and on fox news it's like no we're being invaded they rightly understand what's happening
00:32:32.880
and so it it takes a very special kind of mental contortion in order to create a reality in which
00:32:39.700
you believe something that's objectively false and mark halperin said it with the way that the
00:32:45.520
democrats have been taught that trump's a dictator there's going to be a huge mental health crisis if
00:32:50.080
trump wins and so we're trying to get a baseline figure that out and also um other researchers
00:32:56.920
pew came out and showed that uh very specifically younger liberal women are off the charts higher
00:33:03.820
self-identifying as having a mental health so we just wanted to see and so this is has a doctor
00:33:09.120
ever diagnose you with a mental health condition 23 of america says yes that's like kind of high
00:33:16.300
um but you know men and women are actually closer than we expected 26 women 20 men but the age
00:33:24.540
signals interesting it's like the 18 to 29 year olds are 30 but then the next age bracket is 37 so those
00:33:31.820
are peak so it's like we've gotten through our 20s but life's not going well and then once you get
00:33:37.800
above 49 it drops off like very starkly 15 percent 4 for people over 65 women under 40 35 of them
00:33:47.580
but men under 40 25 so it's more of an age signal than a gender signal uh conservative men 19 percent
00:33:57.220
uh liberal women 34 percent liberal men 27 so yeah 18 to 39 year old conservatives though 30 percent
00:34:07.580
taking gender out of it uh 18 to 39 year old liberals 43 percent makes so we don't we're not seeing the
00:34:16.040
same level as what pew found but unmarried women 32 percent compared to uh married women 18 so there's
00:34:24.380
something about being signal being a liberal being a woman and being younger but still it's not it's not
00:34:32.480
like smoking gun levels of massive signals that other people have found uh but i mean still we're
00:34:40.460
talking about a scenario where 18 to 39 year old liberals are like almost 40 percent diagnosed with
00:34:46.500
a mental health issue right and many of them are undiagnosed and maybe some of them are over
00:34:51.860
diagnosed and maybe some of this is autism or whatever but that's not i mean just look at it like
00:34:57.400
we're talking about though we we started talking about how we spend 22 percent of our gdp on health
00:35:03.080
yeah and now here it is one quarter of all americans 20 percent in the past year have sought
00:35:09.420
counseling or mental health treatment that's wild i have to imagine 31 percent of women under 40
00:35:15.640
currently taking one or more prescription drugs for mental health problem 20 percent of america
00:35:22.080
wow that's a problem mark yeah i mean it sounds high but i don't know you know that this isn't this
00:35:29.920
isn't a medical study but it's something that we should be talking more about because the signal
00:35:35.640
is real here yeah but it's not 20 percent of like well the question wasn't asked like uh you know have
00:35:42.660
you ever been depressed in your life this is are you on some sort of pharmaceutical drug that you
00:35:48.760
need to get by in your day because you're so mentally depressed 20 percent is a very high number in my
00:35:54.400
opinion 39 uh 29 of liberal women yeah one day i'm gonna have you come on here and um we're gonna
00:36:04.260
talk about cats and um parasites it's that's the cat is a bigger signal than this is we're not gonna
00:36:13.220
give away we're not gonna give it away but no yeah about a half hour in the car ride to dc
00:36:20.320
talking about this brilliant theory and one day i'm gonna have mark come on here and talk about
00:36:25.000
it with you so that it's not even my theory john no well it's not mark's theory but yeah he's it very
00:36:32.520
very well and it's it's very uh very uh interesting before we wrap up here we've got a we've got a
00:36:39.440
clip of mark from his uh oh no ganza an honest poster in the halls of congress
00:36:56.400
mark posted that picture on his twitter where it says mama's caucus and somebody said you misspelled
00:37:07.000
hamas caucus look at how happy mark was to be standing in front of the calvinian flag
00:37:17.320
yeah you remember office space and how you had to wear like 31 pieces of flair that was definitely
00:37:26.060
rashida talib's office she was she was she was peak virtue signaling there there was a lot of virtue
00:37:32.240
signaling going on in the halls of congress a lot of temporary lgbt flags that are going to get hauled off
00:37:37.740
on june 29th um but again like that place it didn't seem like a festering fan of demonic
00:37:45.760
satan satanic intent that's what i was expecting it just seemed like out of touch and godless and i
00:37:53.420
we need better we really need to be led by better people and we met good people but it's not going to
00:37:59.380
work out for us with what i saw it's just not yeah they're nice people but uh unfortunately they're dumb
00:38:05.440
people and uh we need people with a brain running this country like donald trump and uh we need far
00:38:11.420
far more of them if we're going to end up better off than uh in this country than than we were when
00:38:16.580
we were born yeah my prediction messy fourth turning that's what we have coming we'll have
00:38:24.060
you back soon to talk about that and the uh the cat single cat lady diagnosis mark mitchell head
00:38:30.780
pollster for rasmussen thanks so much brother we'll talk to you soon all right great to be here
00:38:34.920
folks stay with us we're coming right back congresswoman nancy mace joins us on the other
00:38:41.420
thanks for staying with us folks as promised last week i sat down with congresswoman nancy
00:38:51.260
mace from the great state of south carolina a truly fascinating discussion here it is
00:38:56.300
congresswoman i appreciate you taking the time to sit with us today on the here in a great america show
00:39:00.140
i want to start with first it's pride month and it seems now with donald trump back in office
00:39:03.840
things are starting to go back to the right direction for this country per se but there's
00:39:08.560
still some things that are wrong just this week we saw pete hagseth making the big move
00:39:12.740
to rename that warship something else from the connotation of a gay person because it makes
00:39:18.500
absolutely no difference your thoughts is america moving in the right direction as it pertains to this
00:39:24.340
woke garbage that's indoctrinating our nation all it took was donald trump being elected president and
00:39:30.140
we're getting back to normal i mean this is what it's about this is what america is about
00:39:34.380
um and what you're seeing like with the pride month stuff we're all our eyes are open to the
00:39:40.200
grooming that they've done to our children in america and they continue to do and they're trying
00:39:44.440
to hide it from taxpayers hide it from parents hide it from the federal government all those things but
00:39:49.600
donald trump is awake he's awake in america and he's got more people supporting him now than ever
00:39:54.100
before he's the most popular president in our lifetime and look at all the good he's doing
00:39:58.560
look at pete hagseth sec def and all the the leaders i mean recruiting i know with a man's man
00:40:05.920
like pete hagseth at the helm of the dod recruiting is going to be sky high this year everyone wants to
00:40:10.980
be pete hagseth how nice is it that you can walk into target this year for the fourth of july and you
00:40:15.760
can see beautiful things for your kids not indoctrinating red white and blue red white and blue not
00:40:22.160
the rainbow flag of your child who's three years old should be trans uh it's just it's so nice to
00:40:29.680
see america moving back in the right direction it's not just with this whole uh media mass media
00:40:36.760
indoctrination of transgender issues it's everything i was talking with james comer earlier today and
00:40:42.380
we were discussing the unity issue in the republican party the democrats what i said to comer was you can
00:40:48.380
put yellow snow outside and the democrat leader tells everyone to go eat it and they'll all go
00:40:52.100
eat it the republicans you can't get unanimous votes on anything even when it came to hunter
00:40:56.680
biden joe biden and the corruption inside the inside the committees that they they overturned
00:41:01.660
how do we reunite and unite this republican party to get things done well the only way we can be
00:41:07.840
united as we are right now is with donald trump i mean he's done more to unite the party than anyone
00:41:12.300
in recent history i mean look what he did when we were electing speaker johnson he did that in the
00:41:17.020
first ballot look what he did with the one big beautiful bill and we don't agree with everything on
00:41:21.380
there but he got everybody onto the same page to pass it and work together and so he's the great
00:41:27.240
unifier he's the one bringing the country together he's the one that that's bringing independence and
00:41:30.960
democrats the republican party because they're done with woke they're they are done with dei they're
00:41:36.320
done with the lack of common sense on the left side of the aisle and he's bringing them into our
00:41:40.520
party he brought in more blacks and minorities and latinos and women than any other president in our
00:41:46.600
history so he's just he's he's actually doing it he's doing it every day he's doing a great job
00:41:50.340
the general consensus with the big beautiful bill is the way i look at it you can't get everything
00:41:54.420
you ask for right it's a framework and you guys got to look forward to winning in 2026
00:41:59.100
there's people who are not pulling their weight this is going to be the first time donald trump's
00:42:03.020
not anywhere near the ballot i can't say for you but there's a lot of people who had their weight
00:42:08.520
pulled with donald trump he pulled them across the finish line but it's not going to be the case
00:42:12.540
anymore the republicans who are holding dead weight are going to have to pull their own weight to get
00:42:15.940
across the finish line are you confident you guys can hold the house in 2026 with some of these
00:42:21.500
rhinos as hard as donald trump is working right now donald trump will bring us across the finish
00:42:26.260
line in 26 i do think he's going to carry some of the dead weight we have within our party because
00:42:31.300
you look at how much he's done with executive orders and his appointments and secretaries in the
00:42:36.720
first hundred days this is what america wants it's what they voted for it's the mandate they
00:42:40.860
asked for in november and he's delivering on every single promise and i think if he continues to work
00:42:46.140
as hard as he's doing until the end of the year we will have a great year in the midterm so the first
00:42:51.140
time in a long time but why is it fair for people like you who bust your butt every day coming here
00:42:55.980
doing the work that that needs to be done putting your voice out there when you know it's things that
00:43:01.720
aren't necessarily always popular in the mainstream media why is it fair for someone like you who's out
00:43:05.680
there busting your rear end for these people who just want to come get re-elected every single year get their
00:43:10.520
175 000 paycheck go home back to the dish to get your summers off why is it fair well i mean life's
00:43:16.200
not fair and i i mean i i love my country and so for me i will i will win it at all costs i mean for
00:43:22.960
me it's just i'm going to do the right thing by my district by my constituents by my state and by my
00:43:27.780
country and eventually the voters they wake up to it they see what's going on and the way that donald
00:43:33.500
trump has peeled the veil of secrecy the backroom deals what the establishment did to him that with a
00:43:39.380
witch hunt the people saw through it and and i think you'll have more maga people elected next
00:43:44.440
year i think it'll be a big year for maga and maha and people who are more independent thinkers um
00:43:49.780
i think it'll be a big year for all of us you guys have these town halls which uh you've made
00:43:55.560
infamously funny yeah um and they're set up some of them by these marxist dems who send in their
00:44:02.280
whoever's funding them i don't know if it's george soros or whoever's funding them they send them in
00:44:06.500
commies and they yeah and they send these freaks that come in to see you um the video is on twitter
00:44:12.560
for everyone if you want to go see it it's hysterical it's not funny but it's just this
00:44:16.460
total freak of a person who's a woman then all of a sudden congresswoman mace starts talking to her
00:44:21.840
and she turns into a man very strange but you guys set up these town halls where you're trying to get
00:44:26.440
the word out to your constituents and answer their questions and they're just taken over by these
00:44:30.240
marxist dems and that's the only thing the media covers congressman congresswoman mace's town
00:44:34.420
hall she's losing confidence in the vote and it's just a whole bunch of bullshit it's bullshit and
00:44:39.020
it's a lie and like i had a town hall in a small town of yemesty last week and we had both parties
00:44:44.360
came both parties were present democrats republicans love what they heard from me but because it was a
00:44:49.420
nice positive well done town hall media didn't want to cover it they want to cover the the fights
00:44:54.840
the protests the screaming the outrageous act that democrats put on and people they're really
00:45:01.460
not having it and so um we will only do town halls if they're safe i mean people are calling in the
00:45:06.480
office starting to kill me my employees my kids my family my dog you know all those things because
00:45:11.740
they hate donald trump and they want elon musk dead we've called these people to ask them well why
00:45:16.480
haven't you one ever been to one of my town halls and two um if you come what do you want to talk
00:45:20.760
about and they just hate donald trump that's it and they hate donald trump because i like donald trump
00:45:24.440
they hate me because they've got mace derangement syndrome and trump derangement syndrome and
00:45:28.080
these people are unhinged and they're dangerous and the democrat party has become the party of
00:45:32.940
violence i mean that's what they celebrate you have anti-semitism they just try to you set a fire
00:45:38.860
to jews one being a holocaust survivor just a couple days ago in colorado and i mean they're they're
00:45:44.100
violent yeah it's truly remarkable to me i was talking as i said with congressman comber about
00:45:49.180
some of the people that you sit on the committee with the democrats and it's like this place has turned
00:45:52.920
into some sort of a hood institution where you've got members of the democratic party
00:45:57.260
almost threatening to like fight you like let's go outside and fight like it's turned into such a
00:46:02.480
classless institution because of people like that and we've normalized it the media says it's okay
00:46:08.420
they'll go on cnn that night they go on msnbc and they normalize it nancy mace is this nancy mace is
00:46:13.820
that so and so is this but this hood rat who's literally trying to start a fight on in a committee
00:46:19.520
i've offered to take her outside so you know so i've contributed let me just be real because i don't put
00:46:26.800
up with i don't put up with it and i call a spade a spade and i call their bullshit out and they're
00:46:30.320
too afraid yeah they're too afraid they're afraid of nancy mace i love it i watching your videos it's
00:46:35.120
just brilliant because how much are we supposed to put up with what they did to donald trump they
00:46:39.020
almost got the man killed once and then again and then again and it just keeps going on and on and
00:46:45.020
on and it doesn't end when is it going to end when someone gets killed when one of you guys get
00:46:49.080
shot somebody is going to die somebody's going to get shot somebody is going to kill it ain't going to be
00:46:52.880
me i can tell you that much because i'm not putting up with it but but conservatives lives
00:46:56.540
are in danger look at all the swatting they're doing on conservatives like you dare not post
00:47:01.320
your town as a conservative on social media because they will come after you um they want us dead and
00:47:07.660
they really and everything they said donald trump was they've become he's not that he's for freedom
00:47:11.660
he's for everybody he's for the country he doesn't want internment camps they do yeah i mean they they
00:47:17.080
want conservatives dead and they will do anything to to get their wish and they gaslight and they
00:47:22.400
gaslight and they gaslight alina hobbo is doing a great job out in new jersey arrests two of these
00:47:27.000
hoodlums and they said this is selective prosecution well where were you guys the last four and a half
00:47:32.720
years when you guys wanted donald trump not dead but in jail well they said no one was above the law
00:47:36.820
yeah until you're a democrat if you're a democrat well then you're above the law right that's how their
00:47:40.800
rules are speaking of above the law joe biden we're now finding out from jake tapper of all people
00:47:45.760
that joe biden was mentally incompetent your committee you guys investigated it for
00:47:50.420
two and a half years three years um everything that went wrong with this man falling down the
00:47:55.580
stage falling upstairs going we now find out he gets lost in his closet he's got prostate cancer
00:48:01.260
but now jake tapper is out saying we had no idea but we're starting to find out he's on 60 minutes
00:48:08.400
bill clinton yeah he says he's in great great health great shape i i never noticed anything wrong with
00:48:13.420
him now we're going to dr bill clinton to find out joe biden was healthy uh-huh no that's right and you
00:48:18.880
know it just goes to show 60 minutes cbs cnn they're they're bleeding viewers i mean they're
00:48:23.620
bleeding viewership and so they're trying to attract i guess republican viewers it's not really going to
00:48:28.940
work because they spent the last four years eight years really lying to the american people about
00:48:32.920
donald trump about joe biden they've been uh cya for democrats for years now nobody trusts them
00:48:38.540
which is why alternative media podcasts the work that you all are doing i mean it's up and coming
00:48:44.660
because you guys are truth you guys are telling the truth to the american people you know i was i
00:48:48.700
was telling someone earlier today we have higher ratings on some shows than cnn gets in their entire
00:48:53.740
network it's embarrassing that we run such a low budget small operation but people tune in because
00:48:59.640
they're thirsty for no bullshit they're thirsty that we can sit here for 15 minutes and have a
00:49:05.300
conversation not go on air for five minutes and then take sound bites of something you said but it was
00:49:10.540
taken out of context it's the way of the future in my opinion yeah no it absolutely is and you all
00:49:15.100
literally are doing one doing the lord's work and two telling the truth to the american people because
00:49:18.960
they cannot trust mainstream media they cannot trust jake tapper they cannot trust cnn or cbs or 60
00:49:23.920
minutes i used to respect these media mainstream media as institutions when i was growing up it used
00:49:29.200
to be fair it used to be balanced it used to show both sides but the minute that trump came on the
00:49:33.360
scene in 2015 literally everything changed and i think honestly i think at the end of the day it's
00:49:39.020
going to be better for the country because we've seen now we've been gaslit we've been lied to
00:49:43.780
for the last couple of years and we see what they're made of and i hope that they go broke
00:49:48.700
lying to the american people because they are i mean they deserve it they've earned it yeah i mean
00:49:52.520
they're scum of the earth can you believe it's now 10 years we're going on this political persecution
00:49:56.780
of donald trump 10 years and they don't give up something's got to give we appreciate you taking
