00:00:00.000
Oh, he'll leave. If I ask him to, he'll be out of there.
00:00:13.000
But I don't think he's I don't think he I don't think he's doing the job.
00:00:18.240
He's too late, always too late, a little slow, and I'm not happy with him.
00:00:23.960
I let him know it. And if I want him out, he'll be out of there real fast.
00:00:31.240
Believe me. Hello, everybody, and welcome to The Great America Show.
00:00:35.680
It's great to have you with us as President Trump this afternoon, talking about Fed Chair Jerome Powell.
00:00:41.760
Jerome Powell was very quick and proactive when it was the Biden-Harris, or I should say Harris-Biden administration,
00:00:49.680
when it came time to dumping money into the government, when it came time to cutting rates and keeping rates steady,
00:00:56.480
he was always there on point, ready to stimulate the economy.
00:01:01.280
When it came time now to the Trump administration, he's seemingly nowhere to be found, dragging his feet,
00:01:06.880
doesn't want to cut rates, doesn't even want to look at rates, doesn't seem to care about the economy.
00:01:11.860
I guess that's what happens when you put a lawyer in charge of running the Federal Reserve.
00:01:18.000
Before President Trump letting it be known, he's not happy with Jerome Powell.
00:01:22.580
He's not happy with the work that he's getting done.
00:01:26.340
Folks, before we get into some news of the day, I want to address a message that I was sent on Twitter earlier this afternoon.
00:01:33.220
It was in regard to a show that I did just the other day with my friend Roger Stone.
00:01:38.720
And we'd spoken about a wide range of things, and the message said this.
00:01:44.980
And I won't say who the sender was, but this is what the message said.
00:01:49.540
Quote, John, you lost me today by attacking leaders on your own side.
00:01:53.740
Lou would be ashamed of what you have done to his show.
00:01:58.140
Now, I think what this person was referring to was a show, like I said, that I did with Roger Stone,
00:02:03.840
which we spoke about Steve Bannon and his relationship to Jeffrey Epstein
00:02:08.240
and the work that they had done together after it had come out that Jeffrey Epstein was a pedophile.
00:02:14.360
As Roger had intimated on the show, everything he had said, you can Google,
00:02:19.360
and I did before and after the show, and it is all true, verifiably true.
00:02:25.120
We then spoke about Steve Bannon going on Bill Maher and why Steve Bannon was giving Bill Maher
00:02:31.820
any sort of credibility to the MAGA world and why Bill Maher was invited to the White House for dinner.
00:02:38.920
We also spoke about Ron DeSantis and how the state of Florida contributed $10 million to his wife's charity.
00:02:48.140
These are all things as a journalist that should be talked about.
00:02:51.560
And what I had intimated to this person on Twitter is that I am America first.
00:02:56.300
I'm not Republican first, and I'm not politics first, and I will never be that way.
00:03:04.160
There was no bigger enemies to the great Lou Dobbs than the rhinos and weak Republicans of this world.
00:03:15.760
I don't care if there's corrupt Republicans or they're corrupt Democrats.
00:03:19.940
I'm going to call them out equally because there's no such thing as good corruption in our society.
00:03:26.560
So if you're watching this show and you're going to get mad at me for going after Republicans,
00:03:31.240
then this is probably not the right show for you.
00:03:35.620
As I said, I'm America first, not politics first.
00:03:39.060
I don't let politics dictate where I talk to take the news and where I talk about the news.
00:03:47.180
Now, truth, justice in the American way happens to be on the side of the Republicans.
00:03:51.040
I'm a lifelong Republican, an America first Republican since Donald Trump has taken office,
00:03:59.180
But if there's corrupt Republicans, and I've said this since I've started hosting this show,
00:04:08.820
I'm not going to come on here and protect Republicans if they harbored and protected a pedophile.
00:04:15.360
What kind of human being would that make me to hide the news from you who tune into this show each and every day
00:04:25.920
And I'm not in this business to make any friends.
00:04:27.800
If I make friends along the way, then so be it.
00:04:32.680
But if I make enemies along the way, it's for the right reasons.
00:04:35.520
So I'm going to continue to do this show as the great Lou Dobbs taught me,
00:04:46.220
So as I said, if you don't expect me to go after Republicans who are not doing the right thing,
00:04:58.840
I'm going to continue to call balls and strikes.
00:05:00.600
So with that, let's get into some news of the day.
00:05:03.260
As you have all known who tune into the show, we've been on the road a little bit.
00:05:10.500
We haven't got the chance, and this is to my fault.
00:05:14.020
I haven't been able to keep on top of the news as I usually do while I'm here in studio.
00:05:19.280
The 17-year-old who was fatally stabbed, Austin Metcalf in Frisco, Texas, by Carmelo Anthony,
00:05:27.280
a black gentleman, they were at a track meet, and reportedly what had happened was Carmelo Anthony,
00:05:36.880
who's the suspect in this case, was sitting under a tent where he wasn't, it wasn't his school,
00:05:44.980
it wasn't where his team was, and started provoking this gentleman, Austin Metcalf,
00:05:50.380
who was the victim in this case, and the rest of his teammates, they got into a little scuffle like school kids get into.
00:05:58.460
Metcalf had intimated that he leave and go hang out with his team and not be provoking.
00:06:04.240
Now they're at a track meet, and the scuffle turned into a bigger scuffle.
00:06:09.960
This gentleman, Carmelo Anthony, the suspect, pulled out a knife and stabbed this gentleman,
00:06:18.200
this white gentleman, in the chest, killing him.
00:06:21.760
Now, as I said, I haven't had time in full transparency to read completely,
00:06:26.140
but I'm giving you the news that's been intimated.
00:06:29.960
But my question is, why would this gentleman, this suspect, be carrying a knife to a track meet?
00:06:37.360
I've played sports my whole life, from kindergarten and into college.
00:06:44.320
And I can't say I've ever, in football, in golf, in baseball,
00:06:49.700
ever brought a weapon with me to any sort of sporting event that I was participating in.
00:06:57.100
So this man now is out on bail, which it was originally a million-dollar bail,
00:07:02.440
was brought down to $250,000 by, here we go, folks, this goes back to what I had said before,
00:07:07.360
about calling balls and strikes, a Republican Collin County judge, Judge Angela Tucker,
00:07:14.340
allowing his release under house arrest and an ankle monitor.
00:07:18.840
So this is a Republican judge, bringing it down from a million to $250,000,
00:07:22.960
which is really only $25,000 because you post 10%.
00:07:25.680
Now, this man, the suspect, has since raised a half a million dollars through a GoFundMe.
00:07:34.500
Now, looking back at some cases that have happened in the past, Derek Chauvin and George Floyd,
00:07:41.660
it was a million-dollar bail for Derek Chauvin, okay, was never released, ultimately held in jail.
00:07:53.740
Now, he's being, this suspect, Carmel Anthony, is being compared to Kyle Rittenhouse.
00:08:02.140
Kyle Rittenhouse was standing in a street during the summer of love,
00:08:05.400
protecting a car dealership that he was asked to do.
00:08:08.460
This suspect brought a knife to a high school track meet
00:08:11.740
and is somehow being paraded as some sort of champion now.
00:08:17.100
There is no equal justice under the law, as we've seen over the last few years.
00:08:27.980
And it's sad to see that we have corrupt judges,
00:08:31.520
that we have a corrupt judicial system in this country.
00:08:36.400
So we'll keep you updated as we continue to follow and track this story
00:08:42.420
But as I said, I apologize that we didn't cover this story earlier.
00:08:45.500
That's incumbent upon me with everything going on in the news.
00:08:50.060
So we wanted to keep you updated on that story.
00:08:55.420
the Supreme Court has agreed to hear oral arguments in May
00:08:58.840
on a case that centers on President Donald Trump's historic executive order
00:09:03.180
to end birthright citizenship for U.S.-born children of illegal aliens.
00:09:08.700
So this might finally be the first turning point in the Supreme Court.
00:09:13.560
Well, they'll have the chance to do the right thing.
00:09:22.540
Two of perhaps the worst people, the worst Republicans,
00:09:26.680
in my opinion, worse in some cases than Justice John Roberts,
00:09:33.180
So hopefully those people can get their heads screwed on straight
00:09:39.420
And now I want to turn to our numbskull of the day,
00:09:49.360
He flew down to El Salvador to bring back that MS-13 member
00:09:57.800
whose own girlfriend signed affidavits with the police back in 2021
00:10:01.400
that he was a threat to her and that she was terrified of him.
00:10:04.300
Take a listen to Van Hollen in the streets of El Salvador.
00:10:07.480
I mean, it doesn't get much more pathetic than this.
00:10:11.660
I'm here with Chris Newman, who is the attorney for the wife
00:10:17.640
And we just tried to go visit him in prison just to check on his conditions.
00:10:46.760
Today's purpose was just to see what his health condition is.
00:10:57.720
I understand we're about three kilometers now from Seacott.
00:11:01.360
And as you can see, they're letting other cars go by,
00:11:06.200
but they stopped us because they're under orders
00:11:08.940
not to allow us to proceed to check on the well-being
00:11:20.440
going down to El Salvador to bring back an illegal alien
00:11:23.400
who was in this country illegally, who committed crimes illegally,
00:11:38.000
But he had no problem going down to El Salvador
00:11:39.960
to go bring back an illegal alien who didn't belong in this country
00:11:49.540
It's people like that that make it easy for the Republicans,
00:11:53.260
and it's the rhinos who make it very hard for the Republicans.
00:12:03.640
and a great friend of President Donald J. Trump,
00:12:09.020
The attacks against him are seemingly getting worse,
00:12:29.100
Mike Lindell is dominating the headlines again,
00:13:08.740
I don't have that money in liquid cash anymore.
