Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Great America Show. It's great to have you with us. Thanks
00:00:06.220
so much for spending part of your day, part of your evening with us. We truly appreciate
00:00:10.240
it. The big story of the day, the Diddy case. We finally have a verge. We're going to get
00:00:14.640
to that. So much more to talk about. New data shows that assault on ICE officers is up 700
00:00:21.020
percent since the radical Dems have gone after these ICE officers who are just simply doing
00:00:28.100
their job. The Democrats are launching a new project. It's called Project 2029. I thought
00:00:33.640
they were so against President Trump or his alleged association with Project 2025. CBS
00:00:40.760
settling a multimillion dollar lawsuit with President Trump. So much to talk to. Record
00:00:46.680
revenues with tariffs coming in. And Dr. Fauci may be in a little bit of trouble. RFK Jr.'s
00:00:55.400
got some words for him. We're going to bring that to you. So much more to talk about. Stephen
00:00:59.340
Miller going back at Elon Musk. We got it all for you. But let's start with the story of
00:01:04.560
the day. Sean Combs, also known as Diddy, former rapper, disgraced rapper, I should say,
00:01:11.900
found not guilty on counts one, two and four. He was charged with five counts. The first count
00:01:17.920
which he was found innocent on was racketeering. My opinion should have never been brought in
00:01:23.300
the first place an absolutely absurd charge. I'm not justifying Diddy by any stretch of the
00:01:28.440
imagination. The man is grotesque and disgusting. But racketeering had nothing to do with what Diddy
00:01:34.120
was doing. Rico came from a 1970s organized crime control bill that was signed in by Richard Nixon
00:01:42.960
that was to get organized crime under control. The mobs, the gangsters, it was to rein them in.
00:01:48.560
It was to bring in associates of head honchos and get them to flip on the heads of the mobs
00:01:56.300
or these organized crime families or gangsters or whatever you want to call them.
00:02:01.580
That's not what Diddy was doing. He was running these prostitution type freak off things,
00:02:09.520
transporting drugs. He wasn't doing organized crime. He wasn't doing anything with the Rico
00:02:17.580
Act, which is why it was such a massive waste of time. And I think the prosecutors in the
00:02:23.740
Southern District probably knew that this might have been part of their ploy to help Diddy out a
00:02:29.040
little bit. Now, some of you may know, but the woman leading this case, I believe it was a full
00:02:35.060
slate of female prosecutors going against Diddy. But the head honcho for it was a woman by the name
00:02:41.960
of Maureen Comey. Last name spelled C-O-M-E-Y. Now, you're probably wondering, is there a relation
00:02:48.700
to that one James Comey, former FBI director? Well, yeah, it's his daughter. Same prosecutor in
00:02:55.240
the Southern District of New York who headed up the case against Ghislaine Maxwell as well.
00:03:00.180
Ghislaine will be out of jail one day. She's not seeing a life sentence. She'll be out one day
00:03:03.980
serving a decent sentence, but not a lifelong sentence. So, Maureen Comey, not guilty on
00:03:10.740
racketeering the first charge. Second charge and the fourth charge are both the same, sex trafficking
00:03:15.840
by force, fraud, or coercion. Found innocent on all of those charges. Found guilty on counts three and
00:03:23.020
five, which is transportation and engagement of prostitution, which came from testimony from two
00:03:29.340
victims, one of them being his ex-girlfriend Cassie, also an artist at the time as well. So,
00:03:35.660
that's counts three and five, which he's found guilty on. Those carry a 10-year maximum sentence
00:03:41.220
on each. So, right now, he's looking at a maximum, which is probably will not what it will be, a maximum
00:03:47.760
of 20 years. Now, Diddy's attorneys have asked that did he be allowed out while he awaits sentencing,
00:03:54.560
offering to post as much bail as they want. Now, the appeals judge, where this case will next go next,
00:04:03.960
because Diddy's lawyers are almost guaranteed to look at appeal, is now weighing the options.
00:04:10.200
If he didn't think Diddy had a chance on appeal, I don't think he'd be weighing, possibly letting Diddy
00:04:15.180
out on bail. So, it's sort of interesting. Maureen Comey, did she throw the case? Why is she still
00:04:24.420
in the Southern District of New York? What is she doing there? I think there's a lot of questions
00:04:30.060
that need to be answered, but this is certainly not a good day for the prosecutors. When you go from
00:04:37.160
life behind bars down to looking at a maximum of 20 years, a federal time, so you do 80 percent,
00:04:45.980
so not even a full 20 years. And that's if the judge grants the full 20 years, which is probably
00:04:50.960
unlikely. So, if the judge grants 10 or 15 years, what's he really looking at? Eight years
00:04:57.140
with good behavior and the possibility of winning an appeal. So, not a good day for
00:05:06.380
these prosecutors. Maureen Comey, but what do you expect? The daughter of James Comey.
00:05:13.620
Stephen Miller in the news lately. Elon Musk also. Elon Musk can't seem to contain himself.
00:05:18.780
His anger, his hatred for Donald Trump all of a sudden, and the Republicans. Stephen Miller last
00:05:25.020
night on Laura Ingraham going back at Elon Musk and his dismay for the big, beautiful bill that is
00:05:34.780
bound to get passed by the House any day now, any moment now. We're just waiting for them to do some
00:05:40.120
procedural stuff, but it's expected either later tonight, tomorrow at the latest for passage.
00:05:45.820
Here's Stephen Miller with a little rebuttal to Elon Musk.
00:05:50.000
Campaign for fiscal restraint yet voted for the big, beautiful bill. He is furious for a lot of
00:05:56.600
reasons, but is mostly citing the failure to rein in costs and spending. Your reaction to this tonight?
00:06:03.540
Well, this is the largest spending cut, Laura, in American history. Think about what's in this
00:06:10.100
bill. The largest tax cut and reform in American history. The largest spending cut in American
00:06:15.580
history. The largest welfare reform in American history. The largest reduction in federal spending
00:06:22.120
ever achieved in a single bill. And then it also includes the most robust comprehensive border
00:06:27.240
security and immigration enforcement package we've ever seen. One that will allow us to deport
00:06:32.220
millions upon millions of invaders. To oppose this bill is to support the invasion. To oppose this
00:06:37.900
bill is to support the continued giveaways and freebies to cheaters and scam artists. To oppose this
00:06:44.240
bill is to support a 68% tax hike on the American public. And it's also to oppose this bill is to support
00:06:51.860
a deprivation of all of the tax benefits that president Trump is fighting to deliver the middle
00:06:57.980
class. Like no tax on tips, no tax on social security, no tax on overtime. The Senate passed
00:07:02.780
this bill just today demonstrating that they are fighting for president Trump. They are fighting
00:07:08.960
for his agenda. They are not going to listen to an outside voice that does not represent the interests
00:07:14.500
of the American people or the interests of the Republican party. And the house is going to rally
00:07:19.060
behind President Trump to pass this bill for America. He's absolutely right. Elon Musk has got
00:07:26.220
to get his act together and get back on his meds or whatever he's on. He's acting a fool. And I think
00:07:32.700
the people who are shareholders of Tesla are going to start to get tired of it. They're going to start
00:07:38.920
losing more money and more money because this man is acting like a fool. Because of his hatred for
00:07:44.840
whatever, it's really unclear what his deal is. Coupled with that new data analysis shows that
00:07:52.460
attacks on ICE agents are up a whopping 700%. Since these Marxist dams and illegals are holding these riots
00:08:04.160
states all across America, 700% thanks to the Marxists and the people, the mayors and the
00:08:16.240
Democratic governors, the Karen Bass's, the Gavin Newsom's, who are allowing these people to take
00:08:22.700
over our streets and cities like they did in Los Angeles, which forced Donald Trump to send in the
00:08:26.940
National Guard and the Marines. And we saw how fast that dissipated and they started to act a little
00:08:33.900
bit more orderly, but up 700%. That's a disgusting, disgusting thing. And the Democrats should be ashamed
00:08:40.460
of themselves looking to launch apps to let people know where ICE agents are. You have Democrats calling
00:08:47.880
for ICE agents to take off their masks, to let these people see their faces so they can try to go kill
00:08:54.420
their families. I thought the Democrats were for masks. Remember during COVID, you had to wear a mask
00:09:00.380
to go to the bathroom? If you wanted to see your loved ones, you had to wear a mask or stay six feet
00:09:05.680
away. Now, all of a sudden, they're not in favor of masks? Which one is it, you Marxist dams?
00:09:12.520
You guys all remember Project 2025, the alleged Project 2025, which the Democrats said, they swore that
00:09:20.700
Donald Trump was a part of, and it was all part of Donald Trump's radical agenda, and this and that.
00:09:27.940
Well, the Marxist dams are back. And of course, no original thought of their own.
00:09:33.440
They've got an idea. Notice I said no original thought of their own. They're looking at launching
00:09:38.920
something called Project 2029. It's where they'll unveil their radical agenda on what they want to do to
00:09:46.300
America moving forward. Sort of oxymoron. Democrats berated the Republicans. Whatever think tanks were
00:09:57.920
involved with this Project 2025, berated them. Berated President Trump for his association with them.
00:10:06.380
And now, all of a sudden, they've got a change of mind, and they want in on this Project 2025.
00:10:12.160
That's the Marxist dams for you. Truth, justice, and the American way.
00:10:19.980
We saw it a little bit today. Yeah, rhymed a little bit.
00:10:24.460
Donald Trump settling a lawsuit with CBS of Paramount over that edited 60-minute interview.
00:10:29.520
Remember Kamala Harris? She did an interview on 60 Minutes where she said one answer.
00:10:34.580
They paused, they chopped it up, and made it sound completely coherent.
00:10:37.860
Even though you couldn't really tell the difference between when she spoke and Joe Biden spoke.
00:10:44.240
As for the readouts of it, neither of them made a lick of sense.
00:10:52.020
So Donald Trump sued them for $20 billion because of their deception to the American people,
00:10:58.480
for their lying to the American people, and looking to steal an election, quite honestly,
00:11:03.640
if you ask me, why else would you edit content that has to do with a candidate before an election?
00:11:11.560
So Donald Trump settling this afternoon, $16 million being paid by CBS and Paramount in that beautiful, beautiful lawsuit.
00:11:21.740
Once these people start getting held accountable, and now this is just one of many,
00:11:25.280
that Donald Trump has settled for millions of dollars.
00:11:28.460
Maybe these people will start being held accountable for their actions and realize that words have consequences.
00:11:36.260
And when you lie to the American people, you ain't going to get away with it.
00:11:43.500
The United States has brought in a whopping $121 billion in tariffs so far this fiscal year,
00:11:51.160
and they're on pace to close out what we just closed out in June for another $27 billion.
00:12:02.100
That'll be a new record for the month of June once those numbers come in.
00:12:09.200
Is Jerome Powell going to cut some rates and let this economy prosper?
00:12:14.160
Whereas almost every country in Europe has favorable rates to America?
00:12:19.180
Or is he going to continue to crush and continue to try to hold down the American economy?
00:12:28.140
Because I know if Kamala Harris were in office right now, he'd be running to cut rates,
00:12:34.240
just as he did months before the election, to try to make it look like Kamala Harris and Joe Biden had this thing under control,
00:12:41.500
when we all know they did it, which is why they were so resoundingly lost the 2024 election.
00:12:49.660
The popular vote, the Electoral College, they lost it all.
00:12:55.540
But you and I know that because we're here smiling about it today.
00:13:01.780
Are you going to cut the rates or are you going to continue to allow America not to be competitive
00:13:05.200
on the world stage as it comes to lending and borrowing money?
00:13:09.340
Speaking of money, President Trump announcing this afternoon that he has made a trade deal with Vietnam,
00:13:15.860
one of our biggest trade partners over in Asia.
00:13:22.700
So he's now got the big ones, China, and he's got Vietnam, Canada.
00:13:30.200
We'll have to wait for them to come back to the table.
00:13:31.580
They're acting a little fools right now, too, but also working on some deals over in Europe,
00:13:36.800
working on the peace deal between Ukraine and Russia.
00:13:39.300
You have the Gaza-Israel 60-day ceasefire where they're going to work out a final plan
00:13:49.120
Iran and Israel have a ceasefire there as well.
00:13:53.480
Everything is going very smooth and good pace right now, in my opinion.
00:13:59.880
July 4th, just a few days away, two days away, President Trump is going to be kicking off
00:14:05.120
the 250th year anniversary of America alongside our good friend Lee Greenwood,
00:14:12.000
who's going to be our guest here in just a few moments.
00:14:16.100
He's going to be joining President Trump in Iowa for that, for the kickoff of it.
00:14:20.800
But a big celebration as Donald Trump is the most patriotic president, in my opinion, we've ever had.
00:14:26.480
Before we get to Lee, I want to turn to RFK Jr. and some news, perhaps some news that he has broken
00:14:35.080
on a recent interview with Tucker Carlson just released yesterday, where RFK Jr. believes
00:14:42.740
that Dr. Anthony Fauci may have some criminal activity, criminal behavior as it pertained to COVID.
00:15:06.040
I would be speculating, but I think he was vulnerable.
00:15:14.240
I think he had a lot of liability on creating the coronavirus.
00:15:19.780
You know, he was funding precisely that research at the Wuhan lab.
00:15:29.580
He was giving them, you know, he gave them not only the technology,
00:15:34.480
the precise technology for developing that pathogen.
00:15:42.480
But of course, Joe Biden, or at least the auto pen, gave him some sort of immunity that he now has,
00:15:49.420
which I believe Donald Trump and his administration are looking into.
00:15:53.300
As a matter of fact, RFK Jr. may possibly have an idea.
00:15:59.220
So it sounds like Fauci is beyond the reach of the law at this point.
00:16:06.340
There, I think generally, unless there was a truth commission, you know, which they did.
00:16:13.720
And as you know, in South Africa, they did it in Central America after the, you know, the 1980s wars there.
00:16:21.280
And they were very, very helpful to those societies.
00:16:25.020
And, you know, I think we should probably do something like that now.
00:16:28.800
And in those cases, what happens is you have a commission that hears testimony on what exactly happened.
00:16:36.040
Anybody who comes and volunteers to testify truthfully is then given immunity from prosecution.
00:16:45.160
And, but, so that at least the public knows who did what.
00:16:49.540
And people who are called and don't take that deal and purge themselves, they then can be, they can be prosecuted criminally.
00:17:09.780
Some people went through hell and back during COVID.
00:17:12.980
We all have a right to know what took place and what happened.
00:17:30.660
These are all questions that I think Americans have deserved answers to.
00:17:35.840
Millions around the world who lost their lives because of the China virus.
00:17:46.620
Immunity is given to people who have committed some sort of crimes.
00:17:58.040
If Fauci did nothing wrong, he wouldn't have needed that.
00:18:09.880
If you look at some of the people that Donald Trump had to pardon, it's because they were targets of the Marxist left.
00:18:15.860
When Donald Trump left office in 2021, January, you saw what the Marxist Dems did to him.
00:18:29.100
The Republicans were only going to go after Fauci to find out what exactly happened.
00:18:33.140
Which, as I said, we all deserve answers to as Americans.
00:18:43.440
And still to this day, Anthony Fauci walks the streets.
00:18:49.220
Millions of dollars richer in his bank account.
00:19:22.700
Whether it be RFK Jr., whether it be President Trump, whether it be a Senate committee, a House committee, someone has got to get to the bottom of this.
00:19:29.780
Someone has got to get answers to what Anthony Fauci knew, how long he knew it, and what he was funding.
00:19:36.160
As I said, folks, our guest today is the great, the great, great American, Lee Greenwood, a patriot.
00:19:46.840
He's joining President Trump tomorrow at the Iowa State Fair to kick off the 250th anniversary of America.
00:20:12.060
Tomorrow, you're heading to Iowa with President Trump to kick off the America 250 event.
00:20:18.740
I'm excited to be there with the president again.
00:20:21.580
I've sang many times for him, of course, all the way back to 2016 and his appointment to me as a trustee for the Kennedy Center.
00:20:31.680
Getting firsthand and close to him enough to have casual conversation is astounding for a farmer from California.
00:20:38.720
And so, yeah, we'll be in Iowa, the heartland of America, at the State Fair.
00:20:43.160
And it's going to be a great kickoff because everybody's talking about the 250 for America, but that's next year.
00:20:55.320
But I think pre-climatic because we're like we're focusing on next year, aren't we?
00:21:00.340
And then, of course, July 3rd and then the July 4th appearance there in Washington, D.C.
00:21:05.880
for the president and the flyover with the B-2 that dropped bombs in Iran.
00:21:09.940
You know, so we're we're all about really current news.
00:21:16.080
Now, you'll be you'll be in D.C. with the president as well on on the 4th.
00:21:24.660
I think there's probably a good chance that any sort of patriotic event there is, Lee Greenwood is by the president.
00:21:32.720
I saw you in MSG back when President Trump was just a candidate.
00:21:36.920
And it's like everywhere he goes, he doesn't care.
00:21:40.340
It's Lee Greenwood's got to be there if it's some sort of patriotic event.
00:21:43.960
So I think that's probably a great honor for you.
00:21:46.120
And it's a great honor for this country to, you know, to have you there.
00:21:49.340
Last time we spoke, Lee, you had just come out with a new version of God Bless USA, the rock version.
00:21:53.860
And what you said to me was you've charted everywhere, but you want to chart on the rock charts.
00:22:03.020
A friend of mine named Drew Jacobs from Detroit.
00:22:08.460
We just opened a new nightclub called Detroit Cowboy down in Nashville.
00:22:19.080
I don't like to change how I wrote that song, which was in 1983.
00:22:24.560
Song of the Year in 1985 in Nashville, the country music community, the military loves it.
00:22:30.040
And they know what it represents for the people.
00:22:34.580
And all that has happened and transpired in those past 40 years.
00:22:38.700
But the new rock version, it kind of felt good.
00:22:49.580
You know, regardless if I'm at a party or if I'm out on my boat, I jam it up because I love it.
00:22:54.100
So before we got on here, I said, Lee, facetiously, I said, Lee, I can't understand why the Democrats hate America so much.
00:23:02.660
We saw what happened with President Trump's birthday extravaganza in D.C. for the birthday for the U.S. Army as well.
00:23:12.780
They're going crazy about a parade in D.C. now for the military.
00:23:17.660
And you simply said to me, they don't hate the country.
00:23:25.160
Of course, we know that the president stands for the people.
00:23:31.940
I remember back in his first term as president and the 45th president of the United States, he said, I'm going to drain the swamp.
00:23:38.380
And actually, what we've done is unify the swamp.
00:23:42.120
Actually, the people that are still there believe in what Trump is doing.
00:23:46.040
And, of course, now the Senate has passed that bill, moved on to the House.
00:23:50.840
The president will have what he wants on July 4th and be able to sign that bill into legislation.
00:23:57.660
And as he said, America is really going to prosper for this.
00:24:00.960
And I thought there's so much confusion thrown at us from the left.
00:24:03.880
But it's time to be, once again, proud of our country.
00:24:09.960
When you wrote this song back in the early 80s, I'm sure never did you think it would become so political.
00:24:18.120
I'm saying it made it political sort of between the left and the right divide.
00:24:26.160
But it's part of their equation that they can't like it because Donald Trump likes it.
00:24:32.280
Meanwhile, you hear it now, anytime Donald Trump is at a military base, anytime he's at a military installation, anytime he's around our troops.
00:24:39.440
And Lee, every single time I hear the song queued up, it gives me the chills.
00:24:42.100
I, you know, I have to say, just because my association with the president has dropped me an awful lot of attention, I really don't get hatred from the Democrats.
00:24:53.400
I, you know, I think I'm so positive about America's unity and that I stand for the military.
00:24:59.700
Maybe I just bring a fresh picture to what the president wants to present for the rest of the people of America.
00:25:05.560
And that makes me very proud that I can serve that as an ambassador for this country, if you will.
00:25:11.240
And speaking of that, I will probably end up going to Israel at the request of Ambassador Huckabee, who is now in place in Jerusalem, for a celebration of America soon.
00:25:21.580
It was going to be in July, but we're going to postpone that, I think, till September.
00:25:27.440
So kind of kind of an ambassador for the country.
00:25:33.260
President Trump also appointing you back now to the Kennedy Center board.
00:25:37.720
I'm now a trustee again with 32 other people who are going to attempt to make the Kennedy Center once again the most prestige performance venue in the United States, which it started out that way.
00:25:50.240
And it just kind of went awry and they started having strange performances there.
00:25:54.980
I think they put the building under ear repair, disrepair.
00:25:59.080
And that's kind of disappointing because I had a walkthrough with the president and we saw exactly what needs to be fixed.
00:26:06.020
And, of course, with the opening of Les Mis, you can see the kind of entertainment that's going to be more family oriented and the way people can come and visit once again in this beautiful venue.
00:26:15.660
And it's one of the most beautiful in the country.
00:26:18.180
Do you think that hatred for Donald Trump, it seems that America's lost in my, at least my opinion, a sense of patriotism that I think we've always had.
00:26:29.040
And it breaks my heart to know that because we all know what this country's went through.
00:26:32.640
We all know what the men and women who fight for this country every day go through.
00:26:40.740
Do you think the country geared by a certain person or party has geared towards less patriotism and less respect for this country?
00:26:50.200
We see American flags being burned all over the country with these stupid riots.
00:27:00.000
I hate to say it's just you, John, but I will say this.
00:27:08.180
I feel the positive influence of our president on the American people.
00:27:13.940
Not that he's going to win over a lot of people who may not like him or don't like what he stands for or who he is as a person.
00:27:20.380
You cannot dislike what he's doing for America.
00:27:25.360
And so I do feel a more positive influence of patriotism.
00:27:30.880
I know that media focuses on the very small things sometimes.
00:27:34.640
And when somebody gets murdered, it naturally takes precedence over everything else.
00:27:41.400
But I just don't want to have our view of America changed just by biased media and every other media except yours.
00:27:53.840
It's because I see things in the granular and I have to deal with it.
00:27:56.620
You, unfortunately, are able to sit there and tune out as much news as you possibly could throughout the day.
00:28:04.700
And it literally kills me, Lee, to see someone burning the American flag because I think to myself, if this country is so bad for you, if you hate this country so much, it's so easy, Lee, to get up and just go wherever you think you're going to be more free.
00:28:19.400
As a matter of fact, Lee, there's a line at the door to get into this place, not a line to get out.
00:28:28.480
You know, I know this Fourth of July, people are going to look for a vacation spot.
00:28:33.460
You know, go get a boat, get on the lake, drive somewhere because flying may be too expensive.
00:28:40.740
Make this a time when you can get together and celebrate America.
00:28:43.740
Grill in the backyard, put up a flag, play some football, whatever.
00:28:55.960
What do you what's your vision now for America as we celebrate this amazing day in America?
00:29:06.040
We view Thanksgiving, the holiday, as a time when we get family together.
00:29:12.880
I wrote the song, God Bless the USA, and I put a line in it called, I'm proud to be an American.
00:29:19.480
The reason I said that is my father, who joined the Navy right after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, I didn't know him until I was 17 years old.
00:29:26.640
Four years in the Navy, two years in the Merchant Marine.
00:29:28.940
My mother struggled to keep me and my sister alive.
00:29:31.300
So we were raised on a farm in Sacramento, the capital of California.
00:29:37.020
But I do realize that I've been given a gift and I've been given a chance to move forward with my life and with American life.
00:29:47.220
But when I released the God Bless the USA Bible, which has the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence, and also my handwritten version of my song, God Bless the USA, which stands for that.
00:30:06.140
We are one people united by a common destiny and a sharp purpose, a shared purpose to love our one another and United States of America.
00:30:22.580
And they can go to God Bless the USA Bible dot com.
00:30:26.680
God Bless the USA Bible dot com or my own site, Lee Greenwood dot com.
00:30:37.100
We're going to go ahead and order some copies for us over here.
00:30:40.580
So do you think, Lee, once Donald Trump, unfortunately, I fathom with this every day.
00:30:45.640
That eventually he's going to have to leave office.
00:30:54.380
What do you think happens after Donald Trump leaves?
00:30:57.480
Do you think this country takes a turn for the worst?
00:31:01.460
Do you think we continue on this golden road that Donald Trump has started to pave for the country?
00:31:08.660
I think if everybody prospers, it doesn't matter who's president.
00:31:12.540
And I think maybe that was the focus for 41 when he lost his election.
00:31:17.820
And and although he was a hero for putting together the Gulf War, he didn't focus on the economy.
00:31:26.240
As long as everybody has money in their pocket, gas prices are not so terribly high.
00:31:31.020
And I was recently in Qatar with the president.
00:31:33.600
I sang there as well for the emir at the at the palace.
00:31:36.900
And when you look at our around at the opulence, which is only because they have oil, we have oil as well.
00:31:44.540
And we should be a powerful nation like all of those other nations who have oil because we got plenty of it.
00:31:50.680
So when people's talking about bringing, bringing oil back, yes, we need to do that to once again, get wealthy, get to have the nation be well and prosper.
00:32:00.740
And that will make everybody else in this country prosper.
00:32:03.260
And they'll go, oh, doesn't matter who's president as long as I'm doing well as a citizen of America.
00:32:07.760
God bless the country and God bless those people who are struggling to find a job or find how to how to put their lives together.
00:32:19.520
Can you tell us you spent a lot of time with President Trump?
00:32:22.460
I've had the honor and privilege to spend a decent amount of time with him as well, both in public, both in private.
00:32:29.360
What the what tell the audience what the general public doesn't see about this?
00:32:34.920
I've told so many stories, Lee, about the man he is, about the person he is.
00:32:38.660
But the Donald Trump you get behind the scenes.
00:32:41.620
I'm I am amazed as his ability to move from venue to venue, interview to interview, press conference to press conference and still have the ability to show up at the Kennedy Center to do something special for a veteran to go and talk to some school kids.
00:33:01.940
Yeah. When you have a chance to speak to the president for just a moment, it seems like he just got out of bed.
00:33:09.180
He needs to be all day long and probably only slept three hours.
00:33:15.880
When I asked him, we were actually in Qatar and he was sitting next to the mirror.
00:33:35.580
Seeing him in person, he's the same person you see out on the stage, a very genuine person.
00:33:40.360
He listens to everybody, listens to everyone who has to say, speaks to everybody and doesn't think he's better.
00:33:45.780
So that's why I hate, you know, seeing how they treat this man in the press, knowing darn well that the person he is behind closed doors is a better person or same or better person, you know, than he is out in the public.
00:33:58.580
And I don't think he gets a fair shot out in the media of genuinely who he really is.
00:34:09.800
You know, if we were all positive in one direction, you wouldn't have any competition in the media.
00:34:17.260
And that's kind of the first lesson, I think, of literary giants is they have to have positive and negative in order to have a point of view.
00:34:27.640
I don't want misleading news, fake news, as the president had called it.
00:34:32.280
And it's very obvious in a lot of the places now.
00:34:37.440
And it'll continue because people thrive from that.
00:34:42.960
You've seen the emails that come in now that are crazy.
00:34:46.580
If somebody says, well, your network is your Netflix, it needs to be reestablished.
00:34:51.360
Click on here and we'll show you how to do that.
00:34:59.420
So if you're going to be negative, that's fine.
00:35:01.280
If you don't like Mr. Trump, President Trump, that's fine.
00:35:08.100
And case in point in what you're saying, Lee, earlier this morning, while I was still sleeping,
00:35:13.100
apparently there was a lawsuit that was settled between CBS and Donald Trump.
00:35:17.200
Donald Trump had sued them, sued 60 Minutes for $20 billion because of how they misled the publicly.
00:35:23.760
They edited a video of Kamala Harris to push together words and say this.
00:35:28.920
It's like doing this interview right now, Lee, and putting together completely something different.
00:35:32.360
You'd say, John, what the hell is going on here?
00:35:34.740
Yeah, I think they settled for $16 million, I think, something like that.
00:35:38.900
Yeah, but this $16 million, yeah, you're spot on.
00:35:42.800
I hate a litigious society, but you've got to have some sort of accountability here, Lee,
00:35:47.820
when you're lying to the American people that this person is this person and this person is that person.
00:35:53.940
It's so misleading that this is like what you'd see in North Korea.
00:36:01.940
And so if I was a fake person, I'd go, so I love the president of the United States.
00:36:11.060
It's like, it's like, yeah, when people are watching it, I don't think they realize how swift AI can change an interview.
00:36:20.000
And I am thrilled that the president won that particular suit because it was, it was justice.
00:36:26.660
Before we wrap up, I see over Twitter, I think it was Rosie O'Donnell, which she's blocked me on Twitter.
00:36:33.340
I really hope she's no friend of yours, Lee, because then we're going to have to cut this short.
00:36:40.040
She had to move to Ireland because she hates Donald Trump so darn much.
00:36:52.440
And I want to ask you particularly about this because you've followed Donald Trump.
00:36:56.440
So many events that he's performed at, that Donald Trump couldn't fill up school gyms.
00:37:02.780
Kamala Harris was filling up, packing up stadiums.
00:37:05.580
She doesn't understand how Donald Trump won the 2024 election.
00:37:13.580
Well, I wish she could have been to a rally or two.
00:37:18.120
My shows are kind of mixed between soldiers, Democrats, Republicans, independents.
00:37:25.000
People kind of like me for what I do because I'm not controversial.
00:37:29.180
My personal choice is I'm a conservative Christian.
00:37:32.440
But if you, you know, I'd like to have Rosie just come to one of those rallies and see 200,000 people out there screaming for him.
00:37:38.440
I was at Kid Rock Show the other night in Arkansas and they played God Bless USA to start the event and a message from President Trump.
00:37:45.960
There was 15,000 people screaming out there, having such a great time with a rapper, Kid Rock rapper.
00:37:52.100
And I'm like, I'm standing in the wings after I performed for him.
00:38:06.800
But if you're going to have your time here in the United States of America, you have to support the freedoms that we enjoy.
00:38:16.280
Lee, before we wrap up, I got to ask you, because every time Donald Trump's a broader, every time he's with you, I watch and I see you perform.
00:38:23.100
And I see you've been through a lot in your life.
00:38:34.440
But every time I see you perform, I see you wrap up and you look at the president and you sort of have a look in your eye like, am I really alive?
00:38:44.220
Because I know I would feel that same way and I don't have half the career or quarter of the career that you have.
00:38:50.880
And I perform for millions and millions of people.
00:38:54.140
But performing for the head of our state, you know, the president of the United States is such a privilege, such a pleasure.
00:39:01.600
I left home when I was 17 years old, had no idea what the future would hold.
00:39:05.720
I spent 20 years in Nevada struggling for my career.
00:39:08.980
When it finally hit, I thought this is high cotton.
00:39:21.660
You know, I got two wonderful sons, both born in Nashville, Dalton and Parker.
00:39:27.220
And when I look at the president, that's my look of gratitude.
00:39:30.980
Thank you, Mr. President, for letting me sing for you.
00:39:36.660
A country that's given opportunity to so many people.
00:39:39.780
Lee Greenwood, the website is God bless the USA Bible dot com, correct?
00:39:44.580
God bless the USA Bible dot com or Lee Greenwood dot com.
00:39:48.360
Get this new patriotic version of the King James Holy Bible.
00:40:05.840
And thank you all for being with us today here on The Great America Show.
00:40:08.440
We'll see you back here tomorrow for The Great America Show, where our quest for truth,
00:40:14.040
I hope you enjoyed today's episode as much as I did.
00:40:16.720
It's an important time of the year for us Americans.
00:40:19.540
And I felt the need and I felt that it was highly appropriate to bring Leon,
00:40:23.260
one of the greatest patriots this country has to afford.
