00:05:31.620But what we're finding is sanctuary cities. They've got bloated budgets. They've got fraud coming out their ears. No more. The American people, you have pulled back the curtain. We know what's behind there. We now want it all gone.
00:05:45.080Yeah, and I trust and I believe President Trump when he says that.
00:05:49.220I mean, you watch them send in the units into Tennessee, which is run by the Republicans into I guess it was Memphis.
00:05:57.520I believe that he sent in in the National Guard and the the agencies into you watch them send it into Louisiana.
00:06:04.840I was in New Orleans this past year for Mardi Gras.
00:06:10.100I've never seen Bourbon Street so locked down.
00:06:14.200I mean, there was no entry point on Bourbon Street where you can get on it, where you didn't get past the Army National Guard to have your book bag searched.
00:06:22.300And I think it was minimal crime this year.
00:06:24.340Last year or two years ago, we had a terrorist drive down the street, run people over.
00:06:29.100So he's not shying away from exposing Republicans.
00:06:32.920As a matter of fact, I think Donald Trump has probably exposed more Republicans than Democrats in his term, which is, I think, a good thing because Republicans he can control.
00:06:42.260The Democrats are just rogue agents. So he's shown that he's not shy and, you know, he'll continue to do so.
00:06:51.260I want to turn to the war in Iran, which President Trump says that Iran wants to make a deal.
00:06:57.600And he says they're going to be wrapping it up very shortly. But this is worth the price to pay.
00:09:51.380President Trump had just come off of the State of the Union.
00:09:54.280The stock market was at an all time high. Gas was the lowest it had been in a while. Rent down for like 10 months in a row. Mortgage rates coming down, food coming down. And then he's presented with this problem. And it wasn't just any kind of small problem.
00:10:11.740It was the potential for nuclear weapons attached to intercontinental ballistic missiles.
00:10:18.980We're not we're not talking about an airplane that needs to drop a bomb, an atom bomb the size of a VW bus.
00:10:26.880We're talking about missiles that can deliver a payload to our enemies.
00:10:34.960I went through this evolution over the last couple of days where I was like, OK, I don't like this, but I trust Trump.
00:10:40.900Then I started watching some of the other people and there's like, oh, we've been down this road.
00:10:46.360Weapons of mass destruction. I thought, oh, gosh, maybe we're being lied to.
00:10:51.100But then I go back, I look at what Jared Kushner and Steve Whitcoff are saying, and they're saying, listen, they're openly bragging to us about having enough for 10 or 11 payloads.
00:11:01.920But this was this was the kicker for me, John. On Friday, a phone call between Vladimir Putin and President Trump was released in there.
00:11:13.060Putin basically acknowledges that they had the enriched uranium and that they had enough to deliver 10 or 11 payloads.
00:11:21.560I gosh. Oh, my gosh. You've got Russia, a nuclear country, admitting, yeah, they have them.
00:11:28.640And then he offers the president of the United States. Hey, we're Russia. We've got a bunch of nukes. We know how to store this radioactive material. Let us take it. President Trump says, no, no, no. For me, that's when I was like, oh, my gosh. OK, this is not kindergartners in the sandbox having a fight anymore.
00:11:47.720This is the ability to take out Saudi Arabia, Israel, Europe, the United States.
00:11:53.900So for me, all of a sudden, this was like DEFCON 2, and I'm going, this is really, really important.
00:11:59.940President Trump just risked his entire legacy to make America safe again.
00:16:40.040They call Iran the bully of the Middle East.
00:16:42.520And you could have never had the Abraham Accords.
00:16:45.020You could never have had peace in the Middle East.
00:16:46.800now you're gonna have peace you could never do it with the dark cloud of a nuclear iran but iran
00:16:53.920is a shell of itself it's no longer a bully it's the one that gets bullied it's a bully that got
00:16:58.660beat up we beat the crap out of them and uh and they deserve that there's nothing better than
00:17:05.360watching the bully get the punch square in the eyes uh who do you think the former president was
00:17:10.000i think it was barack obama who do you think it was oh i think it was bill clinton
00:17:16.280here's what we know for certain it was not joseph robinette biden or joe or george bush
00:17:25.920because no it was definitely not bush so who could it have been i mean you've got clinton
00:17:32.900you've got robinette biden you've got uh barack hussein the only one i can think is barack and
00:17:38.580what i've been told is behind the scenes is he actually likes barack which i don't understand
00:17:43.400how. This is Donald Trump's problem. People think he has
00:17:47.440all these problems. He's a narcissist. He's a racist. Trump's biggest
00:17:51.340problem is forgiving people and that he forgives everyone and gives them
00:17:55.340all a second chance. If Barack Obama did to me what he did to Donald Trump
00:17:59.220was spying on his family, there's nothing he could have
00:18:03.320possibly done. And I know Christ teaches that we have to forgive. I know.
00:18:07.080I understand that. But it would make me very difficult, make it very
00:18:11.120difficult for me to forgive that man yeah no i so it could be barack obama the only reason i say
00:18:18.200clinton is clinton had to deal with iran uh quite a bit more he wanted to do more barack obama he
00:18:26.140was sending him pallets of cash they were they were letting him out of uh sanctions and then
00:18:32.800you know you had obama 3.0 under joe biden releasing five billion dollars in frozen funds
00:18:39.140So I don't know who it was. He didn't say, you know, maybe we'll never know. But, you know, for me, I was thinking Bill Clinton only because Clinton had to deal with Iran significantly.
00:18:50.680I think that's a good that's a good guess. And you had President Trump say some nice words about Bill Clinton recently. So it's sort of sort of an interesting dynamic here. But, you know, like you, Stephen, much like you, I trust what President Trump is doing.
00:19:07.780I trust that he has the best interest of America, and it's so hard to do because literally in our lifetimes, you've got a few years on me, not much, but, you know, our lifetime, I think we could probably gauge in the same conversation.
00:19:25.180We've seen so many presidents sell out this country, so many presidents just not have the best interest of America that it's hard.
00:19:33.120It's like having that girlfriend who cheated on you and never trusting her again.
00:19:36.180Now, if you've never been in that situation, consider yourself lucky, but some of us have.
00:19:40.500OK, and it's hard to gain that trust again.
00:19:42.920And I use that analogy with the presidents because we've had presidents just sell us down the road, sell us down the road, sell us down the road.
00:19:49.740And I don't think for a second Donald Trump wanted to go to war in Iran.
00:19:53.000I don't think he wanted to ruin his legacy.
00:19:56.720He's a man who wants to be liked by people, regardless of what people think.
00:19:59.760He wants to be liked. He doesn't like being hated.
00:20:02.880So I think this was last resort for him, which is annoys me because people are giving him such a hard time that I don't think he wanted to do this.
00:20:11.800I think he would rather be the president that hit Iran than the president that was hit by Iran.
00:20:17.780And I think I think he felt like he needed to make the right move.
00:20:21.460Listen, I don't I don't know that he would have done this if he didn't absolutely believe that they had enough uranium to attach it to an ICBM missile and launch it into Israel or Saudi Arabia, you know, one of the Abrahamic coordinations.
00:20:38.140And then they would just from there ratchet up the distance. Next thing they're hitting Europe. Next thing they're hitting England. Next thing they're hitting D.C. and Florida.
00:20:46.660So I don't believe he risked his entire legacy as the comeback president for nothing.
00:20:55.080Yeah, I agree with you. Steve, we're up against a quick hard break here.
00:20:58.440We're going to take this quick break. When we return, there's a member of Congress who's taking matters into her own hands as regards to the Senate.
00:21:06.880She's had enough. She's had enough of the rhinos.
00:21:08.920We're going to tell you who it is and what she's doing to hold the rhinos accountable.
00:21:31.040Thanks, everybody, for staying with us here on The Great America Show.
00:21:33.760As I said before, we went to break there.
00:21:35.180We're joined by my friend and host of The Stephen Gardner Show, Stephen Gardner.
00:21:39.300Steve, let's turn to what's happening in Congress right now. Congresswoman Annapolino, Annapolino Luna is unleashing hell on the spineless, the spineless, feckless rhinos in the Senate who are sabotaging the Save America Act.
00:21:55.300This is the critical legislation, which is designed to safeguard our elections from illegal aliens and from Democrat mail-in voting fraud.
00:22:03.900Annapolino Luna on X declaring war, calling for primary challengers against any of these traitors to the American First agenda,
00:22:11.820and even advocating for a convention of states to bypass the corrupt uniparty swamp in Washington, D.C.
00:22:19.600Luna unloaded on the Senate rhinos who are hiding behind the filibuster
00:22:22.680to block the wildly popular Save America Act,
00:22:26.740a bill that will finally require people to be American citizens to vote.
00:22:32.120Now, this already passed the House of Representatives.
00:22:35.640It now requires the Senate, which President Trump says he's not going to pass
00:22:40.260or sign any other legislation until they get their act together.
00:22:43.680Your thoughts on Anna Paulina Luna, who's been just a driving force in this party?
00:22:48.880Yeah, she is incredible. She is, I believe, the future of this party where she wants accountability.
00:22:57.340She wants people to do what they say. If Republicans say that they're for lower taxes, we've got to pass bills to lower taxes.
00:23:04.840If we say we're for the border, we've got to build a wall on the border.
00:23:08.200If we say that we're for no illegals voting in our elections, then you have to do that.
00:23:12.780So I, for one, think that this is great. I actually believe there's a lot of rhinos hiding behind this vote, right?
00:23:22.400Even some that have come forward and said, oh, I would vote if it came to the floor.
00:23:27.200Yeah, right. Let's actually get it to the floor. I want to put it on record.
00:23:32.260Brandon Gills from Texas, he said that there's about 50 people over in the House that aren't going to pass any more bills from the Senate until this gets passed.
00:23:42.560And he said the point of this isn't just to point out who isn't willing to vote with the Republican Party and with President Trump, but it is to pass this and get it to the president's desk.
00:23:54.240But I believe that if they actually put this to a vote, you're going to see some people vote against it.
00:24:00.500And she's right. Those are the people we need to get out.
00:24:03.560Which brings up the million dollar question of why President Trump hasn't endorsed Ken Paxson in Texas yet.
00:24:33.720But I think that Ken Paxton is a much better option.
00:24:37.400I think it was very noble of him to say, listen,
00:24:39.760You guys spent 70 million dollars and you still didn't beat me in the primaries.
00:24:44.700I will drop out if you will guarantee me in writing that you will pass the most important legislation of our time.
00:24:51.660And they're still waffling back and forth about it.
00:24:55.500Yeah, it's mind blowing to me. And the Democrats, Stephen, the scary thing is they're continuing right now to keep our DHS held hostage,
00:25:03.840which I think further reinforces the need to eliminate the filibuster.
00:25:07.780It's been a month since the Democrats forced the DHS to pretty much shut down indefinitely.
00:25:13.720You see what's happening. TSA, I'm traveling tomorrow.
00:25:16.600I'm going to be the next two days in Nashville and Kentucky.
00:25:21.080Lines at the airport's two hours long. It's not even about the lines.
00:25:24.500It's about the safety. TSA agents walking off the job, less safety.
00:25:29.680The last place you want to compromise safety is at an airport.
00:25:33.240Yeah, they've got a couple hundred people quitting per day. Over 100,000 people, John. They're going on their third missed paycheck. This is so disrespectful. You say you're the party for the American worker. You say you're the party of kindness, the party for the little people. I hope the American people wake up.
00:25:53.140They're literally using you as a pawn, cheating you out of money in order to try to humiliate Trump.
00:25:59.460But I believe it's backfiring. I think the American people are seeing this.
00:26:03.000But at the end of the day, they are risking the safety of our people.
00:26:07.000Speaking of hypocrisy and the Democrats, let's wrap up with this and have some fun.
00:26:12.320The Obama Presidential Center, which, by the way, was way over budget and way behind schedule,
00:26:18.160is seeking, if you're interested, Stephen, 100 unpaid volunteers ahead of their summer opening.
00:26:23.140while their CEO of the center, Valerie Jarrett, is making about $750,000 a year.
00:26:30.340A little bit hypocritical for the Democrats, isn't it?
00:26:37.160It looks like Elon Musk launched his cyber truck into space.
00:26:41.180It didn't quite make it, and it slammed down into the suburbs of Chicago, Illinois, right?
00:26:46.280The thing is hideous, but listen to this, what they're trying to do.
00:26:49.560They're saying one of our elite, one of our own, she's going to make seven hundred and thirty thousand dollars.
00:26:56.160How are we able to pay her nearly three quarters of a million dollars by asking 100 people to work for free?
00:27:03.580What is this, the airport all over again? People don't work for free.
00:27:07.980They need to be paid. They need to be compensated, but they don't care about people.
00:27:12.300All they care about is their hoity toity elite parties, rubbing shoulders, getting rich off the American people.
00:27:18.700it's a tragedy the way that they're treating people yeah it really is steve it's a delight
