The Great America Show - HAS AMERICA REACHED IT’S TIPPING POINT？

00:00:00.000 Hello, everybody. I'm Lou Dobbs, and this is The Great America Show. Welcome, everybody.

00:00:08.240 Let's begin with Joe and Hunter Biden. As nearly everyone expected, Biden's corrupt 0.94

00:00:13.660 Department of Justice delivered a sweetheart deal to Hunter Biden. But the DOJ didn't even

00:00:19.240 blush. They just kept adding sugar to the deal. No jail, no penalties, and it looks like Hunter

00:00:24.840 skates on every rotten criminal act that he's ever committed. Thank you, Daddy and Uncle Merrick.

00:00:31.660 The evidence is piling up against President Biden. The cumulative weight of that evidence

00:00:36.440 is overpowering. It would have already crushed anyone who isn't a Marxist dem or deep state

00:00:42.360 operative or under their protection. And add this to that mountain of evidence. New testimony implicates

00:00:50.060 the president and his son. It was released last night by House Ways and Means Committee Chairman

00:00:55.260 Jason Smith. Evidence that paints a new picture of how the government has protected the Biden crime

00:01:01.560 family. Here's Chairman Jason Smith with that bombshell testimony.

00:01:07.020 Whistleblowers claim the Biden Department of Justice is intervening and overstepping when it

00:01:13.020 comes to the investigation of the president's son. Despite what whistleblowers described as a clear

00:01:19.720 cut case for tax liability on these payments, IRS investigators say they found themselves hamstrung

00:01:27.480 internally. The testimony we have just released details a lack of U.S. attorney independence,

00:01:35.480 recurring unjustified delays, unusual actions outside the normal course of any investigation,

00:01:44.020 a lack of transparency across the investigation and prosecution teams and bullying and threats from

00:01:51.360 the defense counsel. This was a campaign of delay, divulge and deny. Whistleblowers say reoccurring

00:01:59.580 unjustified delays pervaded the investigation, including an author authenticating a WhatsApp message

00:02:07.820 in which Hunter Biden demands payment from Chinese officials, noting that his father is in the room.

00:02:18.460 The whistleblowers revealed IRS investigators were told by U.S. attorney Leslie Wolf that because the

00:02:26.960 evidence would be found in the guest house of former Vice President Biden, quote, there is no way,

00:02:34.400 close quotes, a search warrant for evidence would ever get approved. IRS whistleblowers told this

00:02:42.420 committee that crucial information about the investigation was divulged to Hunter Biden's

00:02:48.560 attorneys. For example, even an investigator, investigators had probable cause to search a northern

00:02:55.500 Virginia storage unit in which Hunter Biden had stored files. Attorneys for Biden were made aware prior to any

00:03:03.800 research providing them valuable time to remove any materials that could be useful evidence. Few Americans

00:03:11.820 qualify for such soft glove treatment from federal investigators. Testimony shows that U.S. Attorney of

00:03:20.240 Delaware, David Weiss, tried to bring charges in the District of Columbia around March of 2022 and was denied.

00:03:29.900 Weiss sought special counsel status from the DOJ in the spring of 2022 and was once again denied. Weiss

00:03:40.040 sought to bring charges in the Central District of California in the fall of 2022 and had that request

00:03:48.840 denied in January of 2023. The whistleblower says felony charges were initially sought for Hunter Biden

00:03:57.340 after the IRS investigator read the incriminating message, a WhatsApp message that Hunter Biden sent to

00:04:04.960 his Chinese employer, Henry Zhao, on July 30th of 2017. Here's the message, and I quote from the clear

00:04:13.740 evidence of wrongdoing. Quote, I'm sitting here with my father and we would like to understand why the

00:04:20.240 commitment made has not been fulfilled. Tell the director that I would like to resolve this now

00:04:27.200 before it gets out of hand. And now means tonight. End quote. The Justice Department, upon learning of

00:04:35.000 that message, didn't ramp up an investigation of the Bidens. Instead, they decided to slow walk any further

00:04:41.900 investigation into that message. And the IRS whistleblower was removed from the case. Politics

00:04:49.320 are heating up in Washington, D.C. Joining us now is Republican strategist and pollster John McLaughlin.

00:04:57.080 John, great to have you back with us here on The Great America Show. Let's start with first your

00:05:01.560 monthly poll out this week. Among a lot of other polling that's out, tell us what you found in your

00:05:07.300 latest survey. Well, I think, first of all, there is a good amount of polling going on right now.

00:05:13.840 And our new polls, brand new, is just out of the field. We were in the field from the June 15th

00:05:20.520 through the 19th. After the, you know, the Biden, what I say is President Biden crossed the line and

00:05:29.460 indicted his leading political opponent. And we were in the field of a scientific survey of a thousand

00:05:34.920 likely voters across the country as we do every month. And it was modeled after a 2020 turnout.

00:05:42.220 So there's more Biden voters from 2020 in this than Trump voters. But Donald Trump is leading Joe

00:05:47.920 Biden 49 to 44. And we're not alone. There's a Mark Penn, who was Hillary Clinton's pollster, has

00:05:55.860 the Harvard-Harris poll, has Trump ahead by six. There's a Rasmussen Reports poll, has Trump ahead of

00:06:02.860 Biden by six. And it's amazing because we write about it on our blog where we talk about how

00:06:10.380 basically Biden's great diversion is failing. Because one of the things that I've learned over

00:06:17.060 the years in politics, going back to when I worked for Arthur Fingelstein and different candidates, is

00:06:20.760 a lot of times when you see a scandal coming for your candidate, you try to create a diversion.

00:06:26.540 And Biden's diversion has been indicting Donald Trump because every time the House Republicans

00:06:33.680 decide to put out evidence that Biden probably or allegedly took a bribe from foreign countries,

00:06:42.900 even when he was vice president, or the fact that the Biden-Penn Center got over $100 million

00:06:48.380 from Hunter Biden's clients that were from communist China, or the Burisma bribes when he was vice

00:06:57.100 president, where allegedly he got $10 million for him and his son while he was vice president to get

00:07:03.540 a prosecutor fired in Ukraine so that Burisma could go public in the United States. Every time something

00:07:09.520 like that happens, all of a sudden the Biden's Justice Department decides they're going to indict

00:07:13.980 somebody. And it just so happens it's the candidate who's beating them in the polls, and that's Donald

00:07:19.660 Trump. And, you know, it's amazing because in our previous survey, we saw 82% of all voters were aware

00:07:30.220 of the Biden-Bragg indictment when the Manhattan District Attorney indicted Donald Trump. And in the May 24th

00:07:38.820 survey, when we asked him about the John Durham report that vindicated Donald Trump, said there

00:07:45.340 was nothing to the FBI and Justice Department investigation of Trump's campaign and Russian

00:07:49.880 collusion, only 55% of the voters were aware of that. And when we asked him about that the Biden

00:07:55.980 family got these wires that Congressman Comer has proven, only 55% were aware of the money from

00:08:03.260 communist China to the Biden family. And what's interesting about that is, if they were aware

00:08:09.260 of the money from communist China to the Biden family, 61% of the voters vote for Donald Trump and

00:08:17.280 only 33% for Biden. If they're in the 45% that is not aware, which, you know, are the clueless citizens

00:08:25.680 that watch CNN or MSNBC, et cetera, they vote for Joe Biden 52 to 33. So censorship and this diversion

00:08:36.760 campaign is an important element to the Biden political campaign to beat Donald Trump, because

00:08:43.600 if more voters find out about the Biden family corruption, Donald Trump will be elected decisively.

00:08:50.020 And in fact, in that May survey, when we asked them, you know, who they're voting for president in the

00:08:55.100 first ballot, the uninformed ballot, where it wasn't biased, it was Trump 47, 43. Then when we told them

00:09:01.820 about that, the Biden family took, not the Biden family, but say the Biden Penn Center, where they

00:09:08.440 found those documents, took over $100 million from Hunter Biden's clients. And, you know, Trump's lead

00:09:18.740 goes to 12 points, 49, 37. And this month, in the unbiased ballot, you're seeing Trump going up in

00:09:26.440 spite of the fact that he's been indicted and re-indicted by the Biden administration and their

00:09:32.080 allies. And it's the voters, what's good is as the voters get the news, they're not being fooled and

00:09:39.580 they're voting for Donald Trump for president. They're voting for him. They don't like the way the

00:09:44.420 country's going. And the polling within the Republican Party, the hopefuls, there doesn't

00:09:53.840 seem to be, there seems to be only one candidate that's even remotely contesting President Trump's

00:10:02.840 assured nomination. And that's Ron DeSantis. Well, is this just to be expected when you have

00:10:11.260 this many candidates early in the process? No, actually, what's surprising about this,

00:10:17.460 first of all, I'd say DeSantis, when you look at our poll numbers that we publish every month in

00:10:22.500 January, DeSantis was within 11 points of Donald Trump in the multi-candidate field, where he was,

00:10:30.360 Trump was at 42 and DeSantis was at 31. And now DeSantis is at 19 and Trump is at 51. And you've got

00:10:40.500 you've got Tim Scott, you know, at five and Nikki Haley at five and Mike Pence around or four,

00:10:49.900 five and Haley at four. But, but I mean, I mean, DeSantis is losing support and one-on-one against

00:10:57.100 Trump in January, when we asked the question, it was Trump 52, DeSantis 40. Now it's Donald Trump 68 to

00:11:05.780 32. It's not even close. So the more the voters see of DeSantis, the less likely they are going to

00:11:12.620 vote for him, because he came in on a false premise. He was saying, I can be Trump without

00:11:16.360 being Trump, or I could do better than Trump, or, and he really had no message other than,

00:11:22.660 and he was saying, I can win and he can't. Well, the polls defy that. Trump's ahead. Trump's ahead of

00:11:28.440 the national popular vote. We never saw that in 2016. We never saw that in 2020. It was always a

00:11:33.880 battleground state electoral victory that we won in 2016 that we're looking to win in 2020. Right

00:11:40.260 now, Donald Trump is out in the head of the popular vote. Why is Ron DeSantis running? Because

00:11:46.260 the only thing he's doing now is helping Joe Biden, because he's running negatives at the

00:11:51.740 leading candidate who's beating Joe Biden. And so DeSantis, I think you're going to see all the

00:11:58.340 candidates pop up as DeSantis has stalled. And, and, and, you know, conservatives have gone back

00:12:05.560 to Donald Trump. I mean, when it comes to securing the border, when it comes to growing the economy,

00:12:10.580 when it comes to fighting inflation, when it comes to, you know, restoring law and order,

00:12:16.380 I mean, Donald Trump has all those bona fides because he was a successful president in those

00:12:22.640 regards. And, and, you know, uh, most Republican primary voters think that, you know, there was

00:12:28.720 serious fraud in the election. And, and, uh, right now they're, they're, they're looking for vindication.

00:12:34.540 They're, they're, they're supporting Donald Trump. And the more that Joe Biden tries to stop Donald

00:12:40.280 Trump with these political, uh, persecutions, uh, Donald Trump gets stronger. I mean, I mean,

00:12:47.080 seriously, Joe Biden is trying to make, uh, Donald Trump, the Nelson Mandela of America where, uh, uh,

00:12:53.740 you know, the Mandela was in prison and he became the most popular person in South Africa and won

00:12:59.560 that election. And Joe Biden is trying to keep his family out of prison by putting Donald Trump in

00:13:05.360 prison. There's no question about the two tiered justice, uh, system or the one party justice system.

00:13:11.820 And that, of course, for the Democrats, this is, it's inescapable. Now the American public sees what's

00:13:19.640 happening. They put it in their faces. Uh, I, I never dreamed it would be this bald, raw and proximate,

00:13:26.960 uh, to the American voter. Uh, it's going to be interesting to see how this polls, uh, in the months, uh, or two

00:13:35.920 ahead. Uh, what do you think? Well, I think, I mean, most voters, the majority of Americans, we've seen

00:13:41.800 in our polling where the majority of Americans say that, uh, uh, you know, say that I, I use the

00:13:48.060 phrase, it's a double standard and they reject that double standard where they, where they, they

00:13:52.940 absolutely, uh, see that, uh, you know, I mean, they, they think there's a big difference between

00:13:59.020 the way the justice department, the FBI has treated the investigations into Trump versus president

00:14:03.900 Biden, Hunter Biden. And, you know, we've seen in our polling among primary voters, four to five think

00:14:10.500 that the radical left has weaponized the justice system to prosecute their opponents. But the other

00:14:16.000 part that's more, more visceral, more, more gut level is, you know, they think if you can weaponize

00:14:22.740 the justice system against president Trump, they'll be able to do it to any political opponent. So if it

00:14:30.780 wasn't Donald Trump right now, if some other Republican was ahead, uh, which would be tough for

00:14:35.800 them to endure, cause only Trump could put up with this and have the strength to go through it.

00:14:40.240 Uh, most, most voters think that, that Biden and, and, uh, his corrupt allies would do that. And, uh,

00:14:47.440 at the same time, they also think that, you know, with Biden in the white house and using the FBI and

00:14:54.500 the IRS, they could prosecute average people. I mean, they think they could, you know, I mean,

00:15:00.960 they're well aware of the 87,000 IRS agents. They're well aware of, of the misuse and the abuse

00:15:08.260 of the FBI. And, uh, the average person is afraid of it because you could be, uh, prosecuted for your

00:15:16.200 political thought or beliefs, or you could have the IRS coming after you. I mean, they're tracking,

00:15:21.400 the banks are tracking every transaction above $600 now. So, uh, um, you know, Joe Biden wants to have

00:15:29.580 an on-diress agent at your house saying, yo, the more in taxes. I think if you're a small business

00:15:35.580 owner, if you're a, you know, heck a waiter or a waitress who took cash tips, you can, you know,

00:15:41.820 people, people think that this abuse could go on. It's not just Donald Trump, but the, you know,

00:15:47.360 as Trump says, they're not just out to, you know, to get him, they're out to get us. And, uh, it's,

00:15:54.500 it's an important issue to look at for the future, particularly this election. I mean,

00:15:58.640 I wish the election was tomorrow because the majority of, of Americans would reelect Donald

00:16:03.780 Trump. Yeah. I think most of us wish it were soon. We're talking with pollster,

00:16:08.360 political strategist, John McLaughlin. Stay with us. We're coming right back after these quick messages.

00:16:19.860 We're back now. We're talking with John McLaughlin and John, this is a, this poll,

00:16:25.280 your monthly poll looks great for president Trump. And I just can't imagine how he feels right now.

00:16:34.680 I've talked to him. Uh, I talked to him a week ago with all of the, the incoming that he's dealing

00:16:41.500 with. I thought we had seen something when he was being impeached, when the special councils were

00:16:45.800 announced. Now he has four active trials. He has one pending still under investigation

00:16:51.740 and waiting in the wings. We're sure the Marxist Dems have coordinated another planned legal assault

00:16:58.760 against him. Right. I just, this just is incredible to me that he surges in the face of this assault.

00:17:07.300 Right. Maybe because of it. Well, it is because people totally, I mean, even a CNN poll, which kind

00:17:13.740 of skewed against us and every negative question was asked about Trump, nothing about Biden or the Biden

00:17:18.640 family corruption. But in that seven out of 10 voters said they saw the indictment as political.

00:17:24.540 And, and so Biden's crossed the line and, and he's got more coming. I mean, this is probably the most

00:17:29.700 corrupt president we've seen in the history of the United States, more so than Warren Harding,

00:17:34.660 uh, you know, Richard Nixon, who a lot of us liked, but, you know, had to resign because of

00:17:39.400 Watergate. I mean, he didn't do anything near as corrupt as what Joe Biden is alleged to have done,

00:17:45.920 taking millions of dollars from our, not just foreign interests, but our adversaries and enemies.

00:17:52.880 And, uh, you know, the fact that the, uh, Russian oligarchs that gave Hunter Biden money were not

00:17:58.780 sanctioned. The fact that, you know, you look at it, who benefited from when Biden surrounded

00:18:04.100 in Afghanistan, it was China. Um, you know, Biden wants to get rid of fossil fuel, gas, cars,

00:18:11.060 cars, and trucks. Well, who's going to benefit from electric vehicles? The Chinese that make the 1.00

00:18:15.240 batteries. I, it's, it's just kind of astounding how, how corrupt and how, uh, ill-conceived are

00:18:24.020 his policies, because you've got two thirds of the country saying we're on the wrong track, 67%.

00:18:29.540 You've got 56% of the voters disapproving of Joe Biden. The job he's doing should be higher.

00:18:35.640 So partisan Democrats are hanging with him to some extent. Um, you've got the, say the economy is

00:18:40.980 going to get worse and not better, uh, 62 to 31. And inflation has negatively impacted 84% of all

00:18:48.560 voters, 44% to the point that they can't afford to meet basic necessities and needs. So, you know,

00:18:57.740 when you look at how, how, what the decline of is going on in the United States and you look at the

00:19:04.040 polls, you know, this is, this is a, uh, this is a really important fight, a really important election

00:19:10.660 for the future of the country. And the working men and women of America who are outside the beltway,

00:19:16.540 who are not part of the DC establishment that elected Donald Trump in 2016, look like they're

00:19:22.240 coming back with a vengeance. And Donald Trump to his credit is handling all this with poise

00:19:27.580 and dignity. And he is determined and, you know, his campaign, he's doing things, basic things in the

00:19:34.680 campaign that he wants to win again. And, and, you know, I just have a great deal of respect for his

00:19:41.600 courage and his, his tenacity, but, but it's amazing the kind of poise that he's handling this.

00:19:47.480 I mean, his political opponent, Joe Biden has had him booked and fingerprinted and mugshot. I mean,

00:19:55.420 that's, that's what he's doing to his political enemy. Joe Biden is a disgrace that is happening in

00:20:01.500 the United States of America. And it's a disgrace that is happening in our democracy because it 0.95

00:20:06.120 threatens each and every one of us. Without question. And your polling is showing the impact

00:20:12.360 of all of that. And the president, it's interesting, his, his opponents, particularly within the

00:20:19.440 Republican party, Bill Barr is eviscerating him every other day. He is, Chris Christie is now joined.

00:20:27.480 He makes no bones about it. He's there to try to destroy Donald Trump. By the way, that's the

00:20:32.180 purpose of Mike Pompeo as well, because Mike Pompeo is not running, but he is sure glad to go on any

00:20:38.460 kind of left-wing television and attack Donald Trump. It's irrational. It is visceral. It is

00:20:47.060 barbaric what they're doing. What is, what is behind it?

00:20:51.320 It's the DC establishment. If you're, I mean, it's, it's a clear line. If you're part of the

00:20:57.840 Washington establishment, whether it's inside the Republican party or just, you know, among the

00:21:03.160 Democrats, et cetera, you want to stop Donald Trump because they've been exploiting the working men

00:21:08.460 and women in this country for years now. You know, Donald Trump is the one who reversed their bad trade 1.00

00:21:15.100 deals. I mean, the DC establishment gave China most favored nation status. Donald Trump, you know,

00:21:21.820 penalized China with a better trade deal for America with tariffs on Chinese products and goods 0.56

00:21:28.800 where they were taking advantage of. He renegotiated NAFTA. He threw out a lot of the other bad trade

00:21:35.660 deals. But, you know, if, if you're part of America where you saw the factories leaving and good

00:21:43.840 paying jobs, leaving America and going to foreign countries, um, these are the guys who profited from

00:21:50.020 it. And if you're profiting from China right now with, whether it's, uh, high tech products or whether

00:21:55.840 it's, uh, you know, some sort of textile products, et cetera, if you're profiting from that, you have to

00:22:01.680 stop Donald Trump. And, uh, the sad part is we've got people who are willing to sell out Taiwan. I mean,

00:22:08.420 Anthony Blinken, the secretary of state was over in China with Xi. Biden's too weak to even go meet with

00:22:13.480 them. Blinken was getting a million dollars a year from the Biden pen center that the Chinese were 1.00

00:22:19.480 funding. And, you know, okay. So you indict Trump on classified document, you know, laws that aren't

00:22:26.320 even, we're not even sure if they're being applied, right. I'm not a lawyer, but let me tell you,

00:22:31.100 there's a lot of good lawyers that are saying this shouldn't be the case. And, and, you know,

00:22:36.000 and Blinken's over there negotiating with the Chinese, God knows what he's doing, kissing Xi's butt. 0.97

00:22:41.440 And, uh, you know, selling out for, from America for Taiwan and selling out our other allies. And, 0.98

00:22:48.980 uh, and, and, you know, this corruption has to be exposed and, and basically, you know, the,

00:22:56.280 like I said, the working men and women of America, the people out in the heartland and the sunbelt,

00:23:01.440 they're being exploited, their savings, their dollar, you know, their, our value of our paychecks

00:23:07.380 are worth less ever since Joe Biden took office, you know, you may be making more money, but you

00:23:13.100 can't keep up with inflation. So this is, it's a disgrace to that point. People forget until Donald

00:23:20.840 Trump walked into the white house in early in January 20th of 2017, American wages for 30 years

00:23:30.760 had been stagnant, middle-class working men and women and their families were absolutely stiffed

00:23:37.660 by corporate America. They're actually a U S multinationals, uh, and wall street, which is

00:23:44.300 working just as hard for China as it is for the United States right now. Uh, and once he left,

00:23:51.200 Joe Biden stepped in, we're watching the same thing, the impact of inflation, cutting pay.

00:23:56.640 We're seeing wages, uh, stagnate. Uh, it is, it's a very difficult situation. And the anomaly is

00:24:05.100 the Trump administration for four years, the working man and woman in this country, just as he promised

00:24:11.500 we're benefiting. And as you say, that's why wall street and corporate America are scared to death

00:24:17.580 of him and why the Republican establishment along with the left are trying to destroy him outright.

00:24:23.840 Right. Right. And you, and you wonder if she said, you know, to blink and really, I really hope you

00:24:29.640 put, you know, you do what we do in China, you put your political opponents in jail and, you know,

00:24:35.480 China's opening up a military base in Cuba, right? 90 miles. They could put nuclear weapons in there 0.53

00:24:42.200 and there'll be right within striking distance of Florida. And then you got the Biden administration

00:24:47.040 negotiating with, uh, uh, with, with Iran again, to give the Iranians a deal that they'll get nuclear

00:24:54.100 weapons and they'll threaten our allies. And that, you know, they'll threaten the United States and

00:24:58.120 our troops in Europe, et cetera. And, you know, you just, you just look at how naive and how corrupt

00:25:05.000 the Biden administration is. And you wonder about the security of the United States and let alone the

00:25:10.120 border. Holy cow. I mean, you can't afford, they're kicking veterans out of hotels, homeless veterans

00:25:17.740 to, to give, you know, free healthcare and free housing and cell phones to illegal immigrants,

00:25:24.460 people who came here to break the law. And you don't know what country they're from and you don't

00:25:28.840 know what crimes they've committed. And they're shipping them around the United States and they're

00:25:33.880 in communities all over. And it's just wrong. I mean, law abiding citizens are being penalized

00:25:38.720 and law breakers are being rewarded. This is, it's just totally perverse. It's, it's unbelievable.

00:25:45.480 This is the upside down world that, uh, that Biden, president Biden has brought us.

00:25:51.680 We're talking with Republican strategist and pollster John McLaughlin. We'll be coming right

00:25:57.620 back after these quick messages. Please stay with us.

00:26:03.880 We're back talking with John McLaughlin and John, again, thanks for being with us here on the great

00:26:10.960 America show. We're talking about some of the polling and all of the bad, bad news for, for,

00:26:18.440 for Biden. And of course, for the United States, but mainstream media, corporate media, legacy media,

00:26:25.300 they, if you will, the propaganda media is not putting those, uh, those stories out. The American

00:26:31.660 people are struggling to get the truth. Uh, how is it that we, you know, we see the Republican party

00:26:40.160 straining to get a story out? Are they going to have to come up with something new and innovative to

00:26:46.020 get, uh, the level of corruption of this administration out to the American people or are

00:26:52.500 the American people picking up the story?

00:26:54.700 Well, the important thing is, is social media. We have access to that again, because they censored,

00:27:00.200 uh, you know, the, the Trump message in the 2020 campaign, when Twitter kicked them off

00:27:05.880 and when Facebook shut us off and Zuckerberg was funding, uh, you know, those, those, uh, drop boxes,

00:27:13.940 et cetera, with $400 million. So you had, you had big tech against us. And now, uh, you know,

00:27:21.140 with, with at least one house of Congress, we're holding them more accountable and more afraid of

00:27:25.520 us. But in the meantime, Elon Musk has taken over Twitter and put Donald Trump back on and allowed

00:27:31.060 him on Facebook has allowed him back on. And, uh, you know, neighbor to neighbor, we're getting

00:27:36.460 out that story alone. You know, the, the algorithms are such and the artificial intelligence is such

00:27:41.240 that with Google, et cetera, they try to suppress what we've got out there, but enough of us getting

00:27:45.580 out, it just needs to be more. And, uh, you know, we'll see more evidence of that from, you know,

00:27:51.260 like media research centers doing important work and all this where we're kind of shaming them that

00:27:56.180 they have to carry the story. And the other part of it is, you know, a lot of these, whether you're

00:28:02.720 a small business or you're a slightly larger business, you're getting hurt by this. And the good

00:28:07.040 part is, you know, when you think about, uh, American consumers, I mean, Bud Light has paid a price

00:28:13.200 for what, for what they were advocating at a time when people are worried about what their

00:28:18.200 children are seeing and doing and, uh, target the same thing. And, uh, you know, you're going to see

00:28:24.540 more of that where the American consumer, uh, doesn't want to be indoctrinated. They want to,

00:28:29.580 they want, they want to have control of what, you know, what their information, they want to have

00:28:33.380 control of their, uh, you know, their dollars and how they spend it. And, you know, I think you see

00:28:39.400 with the rise of blockchain where instead of Facebook and these other social media companies

00:28:45.160 selling our information, you're going to see consumers asking them to buy their information

00:28:51.020 because blockchain allows that to happen. So, uh, we may see some more democratization of, uh,

00:28:58.200 of our economy through that so that the, the average working person gets to, gets to have more

00:29:04.100 of a say collectively and, and, you know, and tell these big corporations that we know better what's

00:29:09.440 in our interest than they do. Yes. And I really believe that, uh, whether it is Anheuser-Busch,

00:29:15.300 the Bud Light, uh, boycott, uh, whether it is Target, you name the, the company, they, they're not

00:29:23.060 only being boycotted now, but the boycott is sticking. There is no change. There is no red linting

00:29:29.780 so far, uh, in the, in these boycotts. They're persisting and they're insistent that the, their

00:29:37.480 values be honored and respected by these corporations that aren't used to that kind of consumer.

00:29:43.700 Yeah. And, and, uh, being a New Yorker who, uh, a New York Bronx Irish Catholic kid who, uh, uh,

00:29:53.100 did not like to see the Dodgers, uh, honor an anti-Catholic bigot group.

00:29:59.240 Uh, they've been losing since this. So, so the Dodgers have been losing since they decided

00:30:04.820 to honor anti-Catholic bigotry. So hopefully, you know, maybe there'll be some common sense in here,

00:30:12.020 you know, at all levels. You're, you're right about the Dodgers. I mean, the pictures of the

00:30:17.740 empty, empty stadium that day were powerful. I, I, I, is there, is there attendance also falling off?

00:30:25.640 Well, the stadium was empty because thousands of Catholics blocked the highway. If you go to 1.00

00:30:31.440 Dodger stadium, there's one way in, one way out, it's up a hill and, and thousands of Catholics 1.00

00:30:35.700 showed up and it's pretty hard to get Californians out of a car, but they did. They, they, you have

00:30:40.960 thousands of them out there blocking the road. So they couldn't honor those people. Um, because,

00:30:47.040 you know, I mean, it's just, it's, it's, it's, it's one of those things where, like I said,

00:30:51.820 the average person in America has hit a tipping point where we're be, we're being exploited and

00:30:57.900 we're tired of it. And, uh, you know, we want our values and we, we want our happiness and

00:31:02.860 we want to be left alone by government and not spied on by the government. And, uh, you know,

00:31:08.500 right now, Donald Trump is our blue collar billionaire who, uh, is standing up against

00:31:13.960 them. So, uh, so that's what, you know, when you look at what's going on in America right now,

00:31:18.660 you're, you're seeing a revolt of the masses against the elites. And, uh, you know,

00:31:24.240 and of course we were in Boston for the Yankees game, uh, Friday night and Fenway after you've

00:31:30.940 got black lives matter across a big, you know, a big banner over on the left, uh, left field.

00:31:37.440 It's, it's a whole different, uh, enterprise there in a good old Boston. I love the Red Sox,

00:31:43.980 uh, and I love Boston, but they're just a little liberal. Uh, so we're looking for some counter,

00:31:50.120 some counterpoint of the, in major league baseball. We were talking about polling. Let's go to,

00:31:56.180 uh, to Trump right now with the evangelicals, a lot of noise, uh, a couple of months ago about how

00:32:03.240 the evangelicals were abandoning Trump and going to, for example, DeSantis, uh, your thoughts and

00:32:10.660 your, uh, your polling on that. Oh, it's, it's definitely not true. I mean, we did a poll for the

00:32:16.860 Trump campaign and, and the Iowa caucus is driven by evangelical Christians because if you're a

00:32:23.640 Republican and you're going to go out on a cold January night where there's a blizzard, um, God

00:32:29.480 better tell you to go, but, but Trump is ahead. We had him ahead, like, uh, uh, in Iowa in the

00:32:35.840 multi-candidate field. We, we had him leading, um, you know, 50, 51 to 19 with Tim Scott was coming

00:32:44.060 up. He was at 9% and Mike Pence was at six. Nikki Hill was only a four and Trump was beating DeSantis

00:32:50.320 60 to 33 in that, uh, in that June 12th poll. It was, and, and it, you know, that was, that was a

00:32:58.000 net five point game one-on-one against DeSantis. So Trump is getting stronger with the evangelical 0.65

00:33:02.740 vote, particularly where it counts. And what's important about that is the voters can see the

00:33:07.820 hard work by the president and his courageous, uh, poison dignity in the face of these political

00:33:14.880 persecutions. And Christians can relate to this and they, they admire it. And, you know, there's

00:33:21.100 always, there's always a great story about redemption and, uh, Christianity and, uh, Donald

00:33:28.620 Trump is, you know, working for redemption right now for our country and he's getting a lot of

00:33:34.160 support from Christians. So, uh, you know, they recognize he was the, he really has been the most

00:33:39.460 successful pro-life president in the history of our country. Um, his position is like Reagan's where

00:33:45.240 he's pro-life, you know, and he said that before. And, uh, I, I, I don't see the erosion. I, I, if anything,

00:33:53.960 I see a strengthening.

00:33:56.000 Well, I, I, I get a kick out of the, the media, the national left-wing media, uh, Jonathan

00:34:03.940 Carl at ABC shocked by the, uh, the showing of what was a statistical tie with, uh, with Biden

00:34:10.860 after he was indicted. I, I had no idea that Carl was so either, uh, earnest or disingenuous

00:34:18.620 as to be shocked by that poll. But that is, that is sort of, uh, an exemplary, uh, uh, reaction from,

00:34:27.200 from the, the left-wing media in this country, isn't it?

00:34:30.780 Yes. And we're going to have to start examining some of their polls because they're going back

00:34:36.260 to under-polling Republicans because remember how they said they were wrong in 2016 and 2020

00:34:40.960 because they couldn't get Trump voters on, on the phone. Well, they didn't try. And now you're

00:34:46.300 getting polls like Quinnipiac where they only have 25, they do, they did like almost 2000 adults,

00:34:52.160 not registered voters, not off a list, random digit dial. Uh, and they didn't screen for them if they

00:34:58.100 were likely to vote, but they only had 25% of Republicans. In the exit polls in, in, uh, 2020,

00:35:05.620 we were 36. So you just shorted Donald Trump 11 points because he gets over 90% of Republican

00:35:11.460 support. So you're going to see bad polls again, because right now you go to the real clear politics

00:35:16.580 average. Trump is leading Biden and, you know, the honest pollsters are, are seeing this, you know,

00:35:23.420 this, this, this play out. So, uh, Mr. Carl may get some more shocking in the very near future

00:35:29.440 because the average person is tired of Joe Biden being president. And more than a little tired of

00:35:36.600 a left-wing media, uh, that gets shocked so easily. We're, uh, we're delighted to have you with us,
