Transcript

00:00:00.000 Hello, everybody. I'm Lou Dobbs. Welcome to The Great America Show. Truth, justice, and the American way on display every day, at least here.
00:00:11.000 I know we're all dedicated to make sure that at least here becomes everywhere.
00:00:16.280 And a lot of places in this country are desperate for truth, for justice, and the American way.
00:00:22.380 The Marxist Dems and the deep state who are running this country right now, in league with the leftist national corporate media, are increasingly revealing themselves to be utterly mad, not just neurotic or a little off, but absolutely sick, mentally ill, and in deep need of expert help.
00:00:43.820 And they live all over the country, but mostly in Democrat-run large cities, Chicago among them, also New York City.
00:00:54.420 Over the weekend, not only was New York's mayor, Eric Adams' aide, robbed at gunpoint, but there were 52 shootings over the weekend.
00:01:03.580 That's up more than 60% from last year.
00:01:07.220 In Chicago, 68 people were shot, eight of them killed.
00:01:11.960 Mayor Lori Lightfoot is without question out of her mind, and so is the majority of the city who put up with her mindless ineptitude and indifference to the deaths of her constituents, usually in a hail of gunfire.
00:01:27.140 In D.C., the January 6th committee continues to commit crimes against truth and justice.
00:01:33.200 The committee and its members are mad as hatters and hateful as hyenas.
00:01:37.740 The Democrats are led by lying Adam Schiff, notorious not only for his role in both impeachments, but also for his vile leftist rhetoric against President Trump,
00:01:49.820 and Jamie Raskin, also notoriously glib and bereft of decency and intellect, not oversupplied with manners either.
00:01:58.260 But the Sunday shows put on shelves what once were GOPers, Adam Kinzinger and Liz Cheney.
00:02:06.320 Perfect, perfect, I tell you, for the Sunday shows, because both are registered Republicans and are actually left of Chuck Schumer.
00:02:16.280 Rhinos to the bone, dullards and useful idiots in service of the left-wing media and, of course, the Marxist Dems.
00:02:25.420 Perfect, absolutely perfect.
00:02:27.300 Cheney's big headline, it's possible the committee will make a criminal referral.
00:02:33.920 Let's see now.
00:02:34.980 Three years of FBI investigations of Trump, a special counsel, two failed presidential impeachments that produced absolutely no evidence of wrongdoing,
00:02:45.140 and now we're supposed to believe these January 6th committee commie clowns will be in the sixth year of Democrat iniquity and vile purpose and that they would do any less.
00:02:58.220 And Adam Kinzinger on one of those Sunday shows saying there are big, big, I tell you, big witnesses eager to testify against Trump.
00:03:07.500 The question is, would they tell more entertaining and preposterous stories as the witnesses who preceded them?
00:03:15.600 The Marxist Dems are indeed a silly and pitifully detached psycho bunch who are comic in their, we'll get Trump this time, really, we'll get him this time, honest mantra.
00:03:26.780 Adding to the prospect of massive, possibly historic disaster at the polls this November, the impaired President Biden has been found out.
00:03:36.500 Most American voters now know Biden to be significantly impaired and absolutely daffy in his efforts to come across even rarely as campus mentis.
00:03:48.600 No wonder his job approval ratings are underwater in 48 of President Obama's 57 states.
00:03:55.980 Our guest today is leading Republican pollster and political strategist John McLaughlin.
00:04:00.700 John says the Republicans could hardly ask for better circumstances than those created by these Marxist Dems going into the midterm elections.
00:04:11.220 And he's here today with his monthly national survey, which is, as always, a fascinating look at our body politic.
00:04:18.320 Welcome back to the Great America Show, John.
00:04:20.540 I have to say, with all this talk about a huge historic Republican win in November, it seems like the generic congressional poll should have an even bigger margin.
00:04:32.160 As far as the Republicans, they were up 48 to 44, which is probably the highest they've been since 2010, maybe even a little longer than that.
00:04:41.540 But they're only at 48 percent. And there's some hidden vote in there, because in this poll, what the shocking numbers is 71 percent of all voters, and this is a thousand likely voters who intend to vote in November across the country.
00:04:55.160 Seventy one percent say the country's on the wrong track.
00:04:57.760 And that's the highest we've maybe ever had it, because it's been fairly stable.
00:05:02.400 When Obama was president, it was at two-thirds.
00:05:05.980 It went net positive at some point after Donald Trump left the White House and left his legacy of a growing economy and vaccines.
00:05:14.780 But then the wrong track under Biden over the past year has just gone up really badly.
00:05:19.480 And the eight percent that are undecided in their choice for Congress, they actually have they have a 50, pardon me, 66 to 10.
00:05:32.120 They think the country's on the wrong track.
00:05:34.040 Right.
00:05:34.820 And it's all it's all about Biden.
00:05:36.980 For six months, Biden has had a 41 percent approval and a 57 disapprove.
00:05:41.700 And two-thirds, 63 percent disapprove the job that Biden is doing as president, who happened to be undecided for Congress.
00:05:48.760 So the Republicans have a lead, 48-44, but they should be able to get two-thirds, another five or six points out of the eight that are undecided to give them, you know, 52, 53 percent of the national vote.
00:06:03.800 And what you're concerned about is Republicans always find a way to snatch defeat from the joys of victory.
00:06:09.940 And we have to be concerned about that because the Democrats really want to shift the agenda.
00:06:15.280 I mean, the most distressing numbers were on the economy in the survey.
00:06:19.480 And this survey was was just completed.
00:06:22.840 It was out of the field on the 22nd.
00:06:25.680 And, you know, even though the Roe v. Wade decision had been leaked ahead of time, it was built into this.
00:06:31.560 It was only five percent of the voters told us it was the top issue.
00:06:35.480 Abortion was the top issue, both pro-life, pro-choice.
00:06:37.640 Top issue was all economics.
00:06:40.120 And you have 80 percent of all voters say that the economy is getting worse, not better.
00:06:47.420 Fifty-six percent already think we're in recession.
00:06:50.280 Only 15 percent think the economy is getting better.
00:06:53.040 That is the worst number we've ever had.
00:06:54.980 And then the scariest number was we asked people regarding inflation and high prices if it's not affecting them, if it's had a significant impact on them, or it's had such an impact that they're struggling to make basic ends meet basic necessities.
00:07:15.360 Forty-two percent of all voters told us they were struggling.
00:07:18.500 American voters across the United States, and it really hurt the working middle class and the poor.
00:07:26.000 And 39 percent told us it's had a significant impact on them.
00:07:29.920 So you've got people that are having trouble just buying gas, food, paying rent, paying medical bills, that they're struggling.
00:07:40.000 And then you have another 39 percent that are telling us this had a significant impact on them.
00:07:44.800 So they're putting off things like, you know, taking a vacation or changing their routines at home.
00:07:51.800 Or, you know, maybe they're sending, you know, their students, you know, to a state school, not a private university for college or something.
00:08:01.420 But or they're taking loans or running up their credit card bills.
00:08:05.180 But it's having an impact out of four or five Americans.
00:08:08.560 And that's what's driving the numbers for the Republicans.
00:08:12.260 And they could get even better if they knew what they were doing.
00:08:16.080 Recently, with Newt Gingrich, we did a survey of 2,000 likely voters back in May where we identified 24 issue positions that the Republicans could articulate on economics, education, health care, immigration, crime, and moral issue positions.
00:08:31.940 And we asked people, it was kind of an acid test for the Republicans, would you vote, would you be more likely to vote for a Republican candidate who espoused these positions?
00:08:42.840 And what was amazing of it was that 44% of all voters would be more likely to vote for the Republican on 20 or more, 20 issues.
00:08:55.760 Another group brought it up to 62%, what Newt Gingrich calls the new American majority, that they are 60% plus on the issues to vote for a Republican where it's 15 or more issues that they agree with them.
00:09:15.580 And then there were persuadables of another 12% that could be, you know, gotten for the Republicans on another 15 issues.
00:09:25.180 But then there was a core 25%, what we call big government socialists, that we're never going to get.
00:09:31.280 And then they agree with Democrats on most issues and aren't going to vote for a Republican.
00:09:34.960 But the opportunity, comparing that generic of 48% to the possible 62% of a new majority, new American majority, that broadens, you know, in effect a coalition where there's a Republican base, but you're inviting independents and Democrats who are disaffected with their party to join your majority.
00:09:57.040 And it could be a historic opportunity for the Republicans if they go in the right direction on the issues versus, you know, figuring out ways to just throw away this election year.
00:10:11.160 I mean, we have a great opportunity this year to retake the House and retake the Senate, and they need to do it on the issues.
00:10:17.720 You know, you correctly said that I was reacting to that generic congressional number because of my innate fear of the Republican propensity to always find a way to screw up a vacant lot.
00:10:33.560 But there's also the numbers that you have just gone through on the economy, on the disapproval of Biden across the board, would suggest to me that that number would not be 4%, but something like 8%.
00:10:47.720 Maybe 10%, maybe 10%, in order to get to a wave election, a landslide in the midterms.
00:10:55.020 Am I being rational about that concern, or give me your interpretation?
00:11:02.620 I think you're being very rational, because what happens with some Republicans, they like to run on Democrat light, where, you know, Joe Biden, you know, from Europe is saying there that we're going to have to codify Roe v. Wade.
00:11:17.720 And what's amazing about that is in May, we asked, actually April, the end of April, we asked in our national survey, do you think every human life has value and is precious?
00:11:28.240 And 93% of all Americans agreed with that, that human life is important.
00:11:33.200 And what we've seen in surveys over the past few years is the number of voters who are saying that there should be some reasonable restrictions on abortion, because the sonogram generation, the people that have grown up, had their kids, and raised their kids, where they were going for sonograms.
00:11:52.600 And they can see that that's a growing baby, and in the sonogram, in the mother, not the birthing person, but the mother.
00:12:01.520 And they, you know, they are uncomfortable where, you know, I saw pupils where anything after three months, they get uncomfortable with.
00:12:11.660 Well, codifying Roe v. Wade, you know, in New York State, you can have an abortion up until the ninth month, until the time the baby's born.
00:12:19.540 And most states where, or states where most Americans live, California, Illinois, New York, they're not going to change their laws.
00:12:28.900 They're controlled by, you know, pro-abortion majorities.
00:12:33.460 And, you know, but now they're going to have to discuss it.
00:12:37.040 So, whether the Republicans decide if Biden says we're going to codify Roe v. Wade, somebody needs to say to him, okay, if you're going to do that, what happens, you know, with a baby who can be born outside the womb and live?
00:12:52.840 Are you going to allow the abortion?
00:12:56.160 If it's not for the health of the mother or the health of the baby or whatever, you know, I mean, abortions are not healthy for babies.
00:13:02.580 And so, let him explain that.
00:13:06.040 But he's using language that they want to divert away from the real problems that the United States has right now in terms of the economy, in terms of crime, in terms of the border.
00:13:18.800 The potential for war.
00:13:21.120 Yeah, the potential for, you know, and it could be World War III.
00:13:24.560 I mean, China and Russia are not horsing around, I mean, right now.
00:13:28.220 I mean, Russia is just grinding down Ukraine and threatening Europe, threatening our allies.
00:13:34.320 They're threatening, you know, because, I mean, Biden was in Europe to get Finland and NATO and Sweden into NATO.
00:13:42.400 And the Russians are saying they're going to take, you know, action against that.
00:13:47.160 And then you get China.
00:13:50.260 They're telling their generals and they're telling their wealthy people to get their money out of the United States because they're afraid of sanctions, which only means that they've got plans on Taiwan.
00:14:01.160 And the South China Sea and the Indo-Pacific region.
00:14:06.460 It's just we are looking at a president and an administration that simply doesn't seem to have the cognitive power.
00:14:16.880 Forget the intelligence or the experience or talent, whatever you want to call it.
00:14:21.440 They don't they don't have the basic smarts to see what's unfolding before their very eyes and the consequences of the policy choices they're making.
00:14:30.700 Whether I mean, think about this a year and a half after Donald Trump leaves office, they've rolled back the border security.
00:14:39.220 They have rolled back any restriction on illegal immigration.
00:14:44.240 Indeed, they're facilitating it, welcoming it.
00:14:46.800 I mean, there's a welcome wagon waiting for them at that border that's utterly unprotected and private aircraft available to take them to the city, apparently of their choice to do whatever they wish.
00:14:58.520 We do know in California you can get food stamps now if you're an illegal immigrant.
00:15:02.920 And so no one is being, I would say, miserly with social benefits for illegal immigrants.
00:15:09.780 No one can accuse us of not being cheerfully chumps for the world.
00:15:15.780 And then when you see what Biden did with, in fact, inviting Ukraine into NATO for a year before he got invaded, before Ukraine was invaded,
00:15:29.880 and then doing absolutely nothing diplomatically to dissuade Putin from invading while he knew full well through our intelligence that that's exactly what he would do.
00:15:41.900 But it's just bizarre that now he wants to codify Roe v. Wade and people say, oh, well, that's interesting.
00:15:51.440 Let's just let that roll.
00:15:53.180 It's just one thing after another.
00:15:55.840 Well, it's the same part as the mainstream media in the United States goes along with them.
00:16:00.780 By the way, on your point about Biden, 58 percent of all voters in our last poll still say he should take a cognitive test to make it public.
00:16:07.600 So, you know, and the Europeans, the Europeans, our allies over there, are worried because they know he doesn't have what it takes.
00:16:15.380 And, you know, you can see from the people in the United States, we know he doesn't have what it takes.
00:16:22.700 And even in a Democrat primary, when we put him in against a host of possible opponents, he only gets 23 percent of the vote.
00:16:30.480 That's Lyndon Johnson territory during Vietnam.
00:16:32.940 He can't run for reelection and even in his own party.
00:16:37.280 And, you know, he's what's really bad is America is failing right now.
00:16:43.260 And we're not going to get relief until November when we get to vote.
00:16:49.060 The Democrats out of control of the House and the same thing in the Senate, hopefully.
00:16:53.580 And a lot a lot is is resting on the Republican Party and our candidates.
00:17:00.380 And that's why even with the remaining primaries, it's important to have the right candidates.
00:17:04.540 So whether it's a governor's race, like I was working for Lee Zeldin in New York and we just won that primary so that we could be Kathy Hochul.
00:17:12.120 And the madness with cashless bail and DAs who won't prosecute the law, well, literally moms on the Upper East Side of Manhattan are getting shot by stray bullets.
00:17:22.460 It's it's it's it's it's it's incredible what's happening where they want to take away guns from law abiding Americans.
00:17:28.540 But the gangs have all the guns they want.
00:17:31.600 And, you know, if you can they have gang members on the streets where they're not keeping them in jail.
00:17:38.040 They won't they won't they won't make them post bail.
00:17:40.680 Well, the Supreme Court did a great thing in rolling back the states, New York state restrictions on concealed carry.
00:17:49.600 This wild, of course, the rhinos, the Mitt Romney rhinos and the Republican Party were aligning with Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden to pass red flag laws and gun control legislation.
00:18:03.500 It was, you know, it's it's really breathtaking to see what the rhinos and the Republican Party are doing, because they that vacant lot.
00:18:12.200 I said that they can easily screw up.
00:18:14.640 These guys will be the ones out there with the back truck trying to do as much damage as possible.
00:18:20.720 Right. And when you think about Senator Murkowski, she went along with that.
00:18:25.500 And for those of us who have worked in Alaska when you when we do polling around the country in Alaska, you need guns because there's not just it's not just criminals and bad people to the extent that you're by yourself.
00:18:39.260 And you just you just you just can't call 9-1-1 in Alaska and have anybody nearby.
00:18:44.600 But also you've got wild animals out there.
00:18:48.020 They're going to they're going to restrict, you know, people, their ability to have guns that they need for self-defense.
00:18:55.580 And and it's just it's just crazy.
00:18:57.920 I mean, it's it just doesn't make any sense for like Senator Murkowski to go along with what Chuck Schumer in New York wants.
00:19:04.500 Yeah, it's it's what an amazing alliance and it's also a wonderful piece of left wing intellectual consistency and integrity that they will accede to the possession of firearms in your home for protection.
00:19:21.120 But if you walk out in the streets where a woman pushing a baby carriage this morning was shot dead on the upper east side of Manhattan, you know, I think it's about time people understand that there is reasonable, reasonable application of the same standards to your home as to your person in New York.
00:19:44.100 If you're not carrying a gun right now, you're in the wild, wild west and you're not going to be the quick draw.
00:19:53.260 That's absolutely right.
00:19:54.780 And then the voters are getting it.
00:19:56.320 So that's why when you when you look at the polls right now, the Democrats are definitely very, very worried about the backlash that they're about to face in November.
00:20:06.980 So so so so so it looks very good in terms of basically the new American majority could be created if the Republicans decide to stand their ground on principle, on the issues and basically basically put an end to the policies that the Democrats have created.
00:20:26.800 Well, I think America may be ready to rally around Kevin McCarthy, who today came out with a hard hitting promise to the voters that he will from the Intelligence Committee, he will take Eric Swalwell and Adam Schiff off that committee.
00:20:45.820 So help him God.
00:20:47.660 Oh, I mean, are you kidding me?
00:20:49.540 It gets worse and worse.
00:20:51.240 What happened to Adam Schiff?
00:20:54.680 What happens to all these other people?
00:20:56.300 He's saying he goes after one of the biggest numbskulls in the Congress, Swalwell.
00:21:01.900 Oh, there is a big move.
00:21:03.520 I mean, you could keep him around for comic relief.
00:21:07.760 Adam Schiff, you know exactly what you got.
00:21:10.660 He's going to lie through his teeth when he brushes his teeth.
00:21:15.000 It's amazing.
00:21:16.320 And this is the big promise emanating from, you know, we're talking about Newt Gingrich.
00:21:21.040 Newt Gingrich, Contractor of America, Kevin McCarthy.
00:21:27.260 Not a contract, really.
00:21:29.060 Not really much of a motion.
00:21:31.180 I'll go after Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell.
00:21:34.340 Good.
00:21:34.680 Lord Almighty.
00:21:35.900 What do you mean?
00:21:36.380 Well, I tell you what the voters want is, like, going back to Newt and going back to his New American Majority Project.
00:21:42.560 One of the economic issues that we asked, are you more or less likely to vote for a Republican candidate who believes the best way to combat inflation, improve the economy, and make things more affordable is to put money back in the pockets of workers and families by providing tax relief, creating jobs, better salaries, incentivizing businesses, helping small businesses grow.
00:22:04.440 So you've got a 70 percent more likely.
00:22:06.860 We've only got 48 percent in the generic ballot.
00:22:09.340 But if there are a New American Majority Voter in that 62 percent that we can get, it becomes a 92 percent more likely.
00:22:16.720 And the persuadables, which is a lot of those voters are diverse.
00:22:20.560 They're not in our coalition.
00:22:21.980 They're not in the Republican Party.
00:22:23.220 They're independents.
00:22:24.060 They're moderates.
00:22:24.660 We can get those voters.
00:22:27.200 And then, you know, when we talk about energy, number two on the economic issue, and the reason I'm mentioning these is this is what Republicans need to be running on.
00:22:35.760 This is stake.
00:22:37.000 We don't – this is fundamental.
00:22:39.180 This is – you know, this is real – this is real meat to a Republican agenda.
00:22:44.520 And this is what they need to run on, where you say a Republican candidate supports common-sense, diversified approach to domestic energy production, includes nuclear power, clean coal, oil, and natural gas production, and renewable energy production from solar and wind to ensure energy independence and security with reliable energy service and more stable and affordable prices.
00:23:05.140 You've got 69 percent more likely among all voters, 91 percent among the American Majority, 60 percent among the more likely.
00:23:12.300 Why are we running on that?
00:23:13.380 Then we talk about –
00:23:14.860 I agree with you.
00:23:15.840 And number three, a Republican candidate who believes government's reckless spending and debt is making inflation worse and making basic things like food and fuel more expensive for people.
00:23:25.920 It's time for the government to act responsibly, live within a budget, and get inflation under control, and make it more affordable to live and raise a family.
00:23:33.640 69 percent more likely.
00:23:35.300 It's the same – these are all in the same tier.
00:23:38.860 93 percent more likely among the new American Majority voters.
00:23:42.140 59 percent among the persuadables.
00:23:44.900 I mean, that's a real agenda that the Republicans should be running on and talk about the issues.
00:23:51.960 I mean, the next one, which is the same level – I've got to just throw this over.
00:23:55.560 It's time to stop stealing from our kids' future and start paying down the skyrocketing national debt that has continued to grow above $30 trillion.
00:24:04.840 We can't afford to continue the reckless spending.
00:24:08.000 67 percent more likely.
00:24:09.880 91 percent with our new American Majority voters.
00:24:13.460 The persuadable voters, 51 percent.
00:24:16.380 That's a platform.
00:24:18.020 I mean, Newt Gingrich has a vision.
00:24:19.600 He has a strategy.
00:24:21.360 You know, candidates can run on this, and they'll get votes.
00:24:24.740 And then guess what?
00:24:25.720 You have something for them to do once they get elected so that they have an agenda where the voters will reward them.
00:24:34.240 Well, you also have in your poll some pretty good numbers for a fellow by the name of Trump.
00:24:42.080 I mean, he looks – he is stronger than ever.
00:24:45.240 However, and I'm thinking the poll question you might consider, if I may just see what you think of this, do you want someone who is a nice tweeter, or do you want someone who's tough enough to kick Putin's butt?
00:25:02.360 You know, maybe you could make that a little more elegant.
00:25:06.940 But, I mean, that really is what we're talking about.
00:25:09.240 Yes, and what you're talking about is, in our poll, when we asked Republicans and independents who vote in Republican primaries nationally, would they want Donald Trump to run again?
00:25:19.940 Seventy percent said they did.
00:25:22.140 And if he does run again, would you support or oppose him?
00:25:24.800 They would support him 84 to 14 among Republican primary voters.
00:25:29.180 And in a field of 13 candidates, he gets 59 percent.
00:25:33.620 DeSantis, 15, 1-5.
00:25:36.240 Seven percent would go for Mike Pence.
00:25:38.180 Six, and Mitt Romney gets four.
00:25:40.800 I mean, the rhinos get crushed.
00:25:43.000 But then what's more important is, if he were running in the general election, he beats Joe Biden 49-44.
00:25:51.520 He beats Kamala Harris 50-42.
00:25:54.200 It's not close.
00:25:55.500 And this is – and by the way, this poll was modeled after the 2020 turnout.
00:25:59.500 Fifty-one percent of these voters told us they voted for Biden.
00:26:03.080 And there's more Democrats in it, 37 to 36, just like the exit polls.
00:26:07.400 So Donald Trump, the buyer's remorse, really scares the Democrats, which is why they're fueling that kangaroo court, you know, the January 6th committee, that the Republicans should be railing at its, you know, illegitimacy every day.
00:26:22.760 You know, they're bringing up people.
00:26:25.940 They're liars.
00:26:26.720 Right.
00:26:27.380 This is – that committee is a bigger joke than anything they've done to Donald Trump in the past.
00:26:36.180 This is now the seventh year.
00:26:37.460 I mean, it's all been increasingly, by degrees, more preposterous than the preceding event.
00:26:44.420 First, they had an FBI investigation, and they framed a national security advisor.
00:26:49.360 Then they had another year of FBI investigations and then produced a – knowing all the while that the Russia collusion disinformation campaign was exactly that, the big lie, created by his political opponent, Hillary Clinton.
00:27:06.260 But that was of no consequence.
00:27:08.980 And then you move into the special counsel for almost two years, an investigation there, two presidential impeachments, and now waiting for you on the other end is your – you're, you know, going away present, the January 6th committee.
00:27:24.840 These venal, lying, SO – whatever you want to call them.
00:27:29.400 It's just – the Democratic Party should be reviled by every decent American.
00:27:36.260 Well, the problem with that committee is it's a real threat to democracy, and it's a threat to the judicial system because they're going to – it's pretty clear that to stop Donald Trump, they want to basically have some sort of, you know, referral to the Justice Department.
00:27:52.580 That, I mean, they will try to indict a ham sandwich, just like they did with the Durham thing.
00:27:58.360 They'll bring it in Washington, and then you'll have some sort of jury that'll be totally rigged against the president in the court with a political judge.
00:28:07.180 And that is a prescription for trouble in the United States because people know it's unfair, it's illegitimate, and, you know, there's nothing Democratic about it.
00:28:19.540 There's no Trump supporters on that committee.
00:28:21.580 Pelosi just totally bought him.
00:28:24.020 She's got Liz Cheney up there hugging the witness that is making up stuff.
00:28:29.440 That's hearsay.
00:28:30.320 That the Secret Service agents who guard the president said that they are willing to testify under oath that what she – that witness said this week is not true, and they won't let him.
00:28:42.360 They won't let the Secret Service – I mean, everything has been politicized.
00:28:45.580 But you know what, at least the Secret Service – the Secret Service let it be known that she was a lying whatever.
00:28:57.440 This is a group of cretins on that committee, and this is a Liz Cheney product, this Cassidy Hutchinson, who has a reputation, apparently, for this sort of thing.
00:29:09.960 It is remarkable that the national – I mean, I watch Fox News and their coverage, and there is Brett Baird talking about what a compelling case they've made.
00:29:24.000 And then there's Andrew McCarthy, former federal prosecutor, talking about, oh, this changes the ballgame here.
00:29:30.180 Are you kidding me?
00:29:32.360 This is – Trump is the only one who hasn't been proved to be lying in this entire thing.
00:29:37.740 The FBI lies, the Justice Department lies, everybody is lying in Washington, D.C., but Donald Trump.
00:29:44.920 And they put this woman up to carry hearsay and rumor and nonsense, and meanwhile, they're asking if Donald Trump told the truth after all this time.
00:29:58.060 This is a product only for the hopelessly stupid, this committee and its hearings.
00:30:03.300 Absolutely. And you can see – I mean, people will recognize this is not fair, but when you were talking about Trump's polling numbers, you can see the backlash in this.
00:30:12.920 I mean, he would – if there was an election today, he would destroy Joe Biden electorally, and he would destroy him in the popular vote.
00:30:20.980 And the American public – you know, like you said, there's plenty of voters out there who will tell us, you know, I'm not going to follow his tweets.
00:30:29.460 I'm not even going to listen to him. I'm not going to watch his speeches or rallies.
00:30:33.180 But you know what? I'll vote for him because they're tired of paying $5 or $6 for a gallon of gas, not being able to afford food.
00:30:40.180 I mean, coming home with – households going to the supermarkets once or twice a week, coming home with bills of $300, $400.
00:30:47.120 And they're not on food stamps. These are working Americans, and they're struggling.
00:30:52.340 And, you know, Donald Trump, when he was president, things were good, and they know it.
00:30:57.960 And that's what's going to matter. We were strong. Putin was afraid to go into Ukraine.
00:31:03.260 You know, he was bringing American troops back from the Middle East, back from Afghanistan.
00:31:10.340 Back from Europe.
00:31:11.720 Energy independent, right, back from Europe.
00:31:13.900 And he was making our allies prepare for their own self-defense.
00:31:18.020 I don't think people realize right now, John, Biden is putting more troops into the eastern flank of Europe.
00:31:25.700 We already have 102,000 of our troops there.
00:31:29.920 Do you know how many of the Europeans have ready for combat?
00:31:33.880 They've got 40,000.
00:31:36.120 The population of Europe is greater than that of the United States by 30 percent.
00:31:42.540 And they have an immensely wealthy economy.
00:31:46.780 They can't afford, but they will not defend themselves.
00:31:49.640 They will not protect themselves.
00:31:51.380 And they won't spend a damn dime of their money.
00:31:54.560 They – we're spending $50 billion on Ukraine.
00:31:58.340 What's wrong with this picture?
00:32:00.380 Besides everything.
00:32:02.480 Well, the one thing's for sure.
00:32:04.820 I think when the American voters get to vote, we will see their wisdom, hopefully.
00:32:09.240 But we've got to stay on offense on these issues.
00:32:11.280 We absolutely have to stay on offense on these issues.
00:32:13.960 We have to have clear contrast with the Democrats on the things that matter most to the American people.
00:32:18.780 And right now, things are not good in the United States where you have 7 out of 10 voters saying it's on the wrong track.
00:32:25.120 And you have 80 percent of all voters saying the economy is getting worse, not better.
00:32:29.200 And they're feeling less safe and more insecure.
00:32:31.800 Absolutely.
00:32:32.240 I'm going to move away from the poll here in just a minute to talk about voter interest in electoral integrity, Biden family corruption.
00:32:44.540 I want to talk about dark money in our elections.
00:32:47.320 But first, I want to get the sense – because you're talking about a dominant position and prospect for President Trump should he decide to run.
00:32:56.360 And what is, as best you can discern, what is Governor DeSantis' motivation in putting up these PACs and preparing to run?
00:33:10.940 It's a peculiar – there's a lot of dissonance in that, the appearance of that interest in running in 2024 on the part of the governor.
00:33:20.080 Well, I don't really know.
00:33:21.520 I mean, I've worked for – as you know, I've worked for President Trump, and I continue to do work for him today.
00:33:27.180 So Governor DeSantis, what I can see is he's preparing to run for re-election in Florida that he's – you know, he's in a re-election campaign that he should not take for granted because there are plenty of polls that say it's close enough in Florida.
00:33:42.000 And nationally, we did put his name in this survey because he's getting so much media attention, but he was only 34 favorable nationally and 37 unfavorable.
00:33:53.320 Well, outside of Florida, his image is mainly controlled by the mainstream media who, although they may like to see him, you know, nipping at President Trump in some of these straw polls or whatever, you know, he may enter into or other people may enter him into.
00:34:11.260 So they – you know, nationally, he doesn't have President Trump's numbers or ability to win a national election.
00:34:20.600 So – and I think it would be a mistake to go too far ahead and, you know, basically look past his November election, his re-election, because he's going to have to face Charlie Crisp probably, who's been governor of Florida, who I knew years ago when Charlie was a Republican and was the political director for Connie Mack, who was a very good U.S. senator from Florida.
00:34:43.640 Oh, man, you're going back a few years.
00:34:45.620 Yes.
00:34:45.880 Oh, quite – well, it's the 20th century, 1988 to be exact.
00:34:49.460 So –
00:34:51.460 But I remember it just like yesterday.
00:34:55.580 Well, it was – that was a close election too, you know.
00:34:59.320 I worked for Arthur Finkelstein then, and we had these ads about, hey, buddy, you're a liberal.
00:35:04.360 And it worked then.
00:35:06.060 Absolutely.
00:35:07.000 Well, let's turn to something that, if we may, the presence of dark money.
00:35:12.180 I'm hearing from various people who know what they're talking about, that they're seeing international money coming into the United States.
00:35:23.940 They think there's going to be a significant influence, that there's dark money in our elections, including, you know, Zuckerberg put his dark money to work in the broad daylight and got away with it.
00:35:36.760 George Soros, he works in the dark and the light.
00:35:40.900 But there's all sorts of money coming into our political system, and it doesn't seem to be checked in any way, you're thinking.
00:35:49.320 Well, what our enemies do is they try to turn our strength into our weakness.
00:35:57.180 And one of the greatest strengths in America is basically in the First Amendment, free speech, freedom of association.
00:36:04.980 And, you know, we built a system of free and fair democratic elections that they're now corrupting.
00:36:12.100 And we saw it in 2020, without a doubt.
00:36:14.340 It's, you know, all those during the 2020 campaign, the Democrats put it in paper.
00:36:20.440 I mean, David Plouffe works for Zuckerberg's foundations, and he had written a book, A Citizen's Guide to Defeating Donald Trump.
00:36:28.240 And they published it in March, you know, just as the pandemic was going on.
00:36:32.920 And basically, it was a blueprint to register more people that would have been Hillary Clinton type of voters in a handful of counties, in the handful of states that would decide the electoral college.
00:36:44.320 And then, you know, and then they acted on that plan with drop boxes and with, you know, the COVID gave them a chance to create these emergency powers for governors so that, you know, they were in Pennsylvania.
00:37:03.060 They, the, the, the signature verification, uh, on no excuse absentees, it was created.
00:37:09.780 So in Pennsylvania, in Georgia with the drop boxes, they were, they were funded by Zuckerberg and put in, uh, democratic areas to collect Democrat ballots so they could ballot harvest.
00:37:21.020 They did the same thing in Wisconsin, same thing as Arizona and Republicans didn't go along with it.
00:37:27.180 And the states where Republicans are smart, Texas, Florida, North Carolina, they fought and we won.
00:37:32.820 And states where Raffensperger signed the consent order in September decree with, uh, Mark Elias, you had a system created where it was prone to cheating.
00:37:44.480 And now it's been well documented, well recorded, and they would like to do it again.
00:37:50.080 We've been beating their efforts in places like New York and, and, uh, and, and in other states so we can have an honest election, but this dark money, uh, it's ironic because during the 2020 campaign, the Republicans at the Republican national committee pat themselves on the back saying, we've got this great ground game.
00:38:07.040 We're going to turn out the vote and, and the Biden people, they're just spending their money on TV as well.
00:38:12.620 So they knew they had it all in nonprofits.
00:38:15.400 They had all, and they, and by the way, Zuckerberg not only spent 400 million, he got tax benefits for it.
00:38:23.520 It was, those went into C threes that our arrest code says, well, it's for public education.
00:38:29.440 So that's tax deductible.
00:38:31.260 So not only do we make the corruption legal, we allowed it.
00:38:36.860 Um, it was also tax deductible for, so it's just, um, and it hasn't been.
00:38:42.620 Fixed and the Republicans, you know, they need to file FEC and IRS complaints and get this fixed.
00:38:49.160 Otherwise you're going to say, God knows where the money will come from.
00:38:51.920 You know, I mean, whether it's just Mark Zuckerberg or George Soros, they're doing it again.
00:38:58.140 Well, Biden, uh, the family corruption is, is now well documented.
00:39:03.360 It's a, I mean, it is there.
00:39:06.120 We have a, an attorney general who won't, uh, appoint a, uh, a special counsel, uh, when we desperately need it to, just to investigate Biden corruption.
00:39:18.260 Uh, it's outrageous.
00:39:19.880 Don't you think?
00:39:20.980 Well, I, I, I think that's what the, what, whether you have a special counsel, I mean, I'm not crazy about special counsels.
00:39:28.600 Cause they're, cause they're basically, you know, uh, they, they, there's no checks on them.
00:39:34.540 There's no balance to them.
00:39:35.800 And they, and they turned out to be very political.
00:39:38.820 I think you need an apolitical justice department.
00:39:41.660 You really need a professional law enforcement.
00:39:44.800 Um, um, yeah, we moved way by that.
00:39:47.380 Right.
00:39:47.880 Right.
00:39:48.380 We need, we, you, you want somebody that's incorruptible.
00:39:51.980 Some, you want people taking the leadership of the FBI, the justice department that are, that can't be corrupted.
00:39:58.040 And basically, you know, just follow the law and where, where people break the law, they need to be prosecuted, whether they're Republican or Democrat.
00:40:05.940 And there's a feeling right now that, that definitely in the polls that, uh, it's, it's partisan and it's political.
00:40:12.620 Oh, it is partisan.
00:40:14.320 It is political.
00:40:14.940 And the department of justice and the FBI are demonstrably and empirically.
00:40:20.840 Uh, utterly and completely corrupt.
00:40:24.600 Uh, Daryl Issa, Congressman Issa says that Hunter Biden is a national security threat, point blank.
00:40:31.800 Uh, Congressman Issa has gone through the laptop.
00:40:36.100 Uh, he spoke eloquently and, uh, and I have to say his revulsion at what he saw couldn't be, couldn't have been more obvious, uh, or heartfelt.
00:40:48.660 Uh, but what he read about, uh, Hunter Biden in that, uh, in that laptop and what we know publicly, why in the world is there not an outcry about this national security threat?
00:41:03.340 Uh, a drug addict, uh, who has been making millions of dollars off his father's name and who has been, of course, uh, splitting the take, uh, with his father, his uncle, uh, and others.
00:41:18.080 It's, it's, it's mainly because the mainstream media has been corrupted during the 2020 election.
00:41:24.460 Uh, the, you know, the Democrats in the media, cause the, I mean, you have, when you look at NBC, you've got Chuck Todd there, a former Democrat operative running a lot of the things on what they cover and what their news is.
00:41:37.380 You have George Stephanopoulos at ABC, you had, you had Chris Cuomo, Governor Cuomo's brother at CNN.
00:41:44.360 So the, the, the Democrats have corrupted the media, so they won't cover this.
00:41:48.920 So in 2020 on election day, when we did our post-election survey, uh, um, Brent Bozell in the media research center bought a question asking people if they were aware of the Hunter Biden laptop story that the New York Post broke,
00:42:02.460 that Twitter had censored and blocked from getting more coverage, they censored the New York Post.
00:42:08.820 I mean, America's oldest newspaper, that Alexander Hamilton was basically kicked off Twitter and they couldn't put their story out.
00:42:16.140 But 36% of base of, of the Biden voters did not, were not aware of that story at all.
00:42:23.680 And when we asked them if they knew about it, uh, enough, 13% of them would have changed their votes.
00:42:30.040 So you would have had 5% of the electorate changing their votes and Trump would have won.
00:42:34.500 And they shut it down then.
00:42:36.280 And they're shutting it down to this day.
00:42:38.540 They won't cover that.
00:42:39.920 What Daryl Issa, who's a very honest, competent, strong, and smart, uh, uh, member of Congress, what he's seen, uh, what he knows because he's an intelligence expert.
00:42:51.660 Um, he knows that's a threat and the media, the mainstream media won't cover it and they won't probe.
00:42:58.720 And there should be hearings on it because, I mean, there's been stories in the foreign media.
00:43:03.800 There's been stories out there that the oligarchs that had the Biden family on their payroll are not sanctioned.
00:43:09.660 So you want to talk a good game and punish Vladimir Putin, but then if the oligarchs from Russia, uh, you know, had you, had the Biden family on, on the payroll, they didn't get sanctioned.
00:43:23.440 I mean, why isn't anybody looking into that?
00:43:26.820 What did they pay for?
00:43:28.200 What were, what were they paying for when they had Hunter Biden on their payroll?
00:43:32.520 Whether it was Russia, Ukraine, or China.
00:43:34.940 I mean, it's just, the corruption is really bad and it's dangerous to America.
00:43:41.220 Well said.
00:43:42.120 Uh, and it's, I, I guess one of the most disturbing things is, uh, when we talk about the corruption of the national media, at least for me, I'll speak only for myself.
00:43:53.520 Uh, when you talk about ABC news and George Stephanopoulos, the corruption starts with the Disney corporation, which owns them.
00:44:00.520 Uh, when you talk about CNN, uh, that corruption began with AT&T, that it was its owner.
00:44:07.080 When we talk about, uh, for example, NBC, that's Comcast that owns those news departments.
00:44:13.920 They're following the leadership and the direction of those corporate owners.
00:44:18.860 Uh, when we talk about the corruption of our national media, it is the corruption of our national corporate, uh, corporatist media.
00:44:27.100 And that means the corruption is corporate, uh, whether it's Comcast, whether it's AT&T, uh, whether it is, uh, Disney.
00:44:36.040 Uh, as we go through this, it is, it is a national, it's, first of all, it is a national security threat.
00:44:45.580 The fact that our national media is so compromised and committed to the left, because when people figure it out, the left in this country has moved decidedly authoritarian.
00:44:55.940 Uh, there is no question about that.
00:44:58.700 Uh, and authoritarianism is, and Marxism does align perfectly with Russia and with China.
00:45:06.120 Uh, and we have now, and, and President Trump had to live with it.
00:45:09.720 Uh, Wall Street and corporate America and its news outlets were more aligned with President Xi and Communist China on the issue of tariffs, international trade, on national security,
00:45:22.780 and, uh, President Trump's insistence that there be free navigation on the seas, including the South China Sea and the Strait of Taiwan.
00:45:31.600 Uh, it's, uh, it's a miserable moment because we have people who will not see what is before their very eyes.
00:45:38.940 Couldn't, could not agree more.
00:45:40.580 I mean, and the voters are seeing it, and that's why the Democrats are worried about the trend,
00:45:44.840 because what they're really worried about is that the people of the United States,
00:45:49.360 if they're, if we have free, fair, honest elections, where, uh, where basically you got to show up in person to vote,
00:45:58.080 or you have to have a voter ID that they can't meddle with,
00:46:01.820 the heartland of America is going to have such a backlash for, for the people that are basically exploiting them right now,
00:46:10.620 uh, taking away their wealth, taking away their savings.
00:46:13.280 I mean, in that national poll I was talking about, only 48% of all voters have savings of $5,000 or more in their IRAs,
00:46:21.800 their 401ks for their retirement.
00:46:23.920 That's a-
00:46:24.500 What percent?
00:46:25.860 48%.
00:46:26.380 52% do not have any savings for retirement.
00:46:30.660 And, and the voters, when you look at who's struggling now, I mean, it is the middle class of America,
00:46:36.340 and we know we're being exploited for these globalists around the world.
00:46:40.520 And you pointed about Disney, I saw an article in Breitbart last week, where Disney stock is down 50% since they started these woke policies.
00:46:50.300 Well, you know what?
00:46:51.180 That's because middle America is saying, we don't want to go to movies that give us a moral lecture that we disagree with the values.
00:46:58.520 And so, whether you're Buzz Lightyear or whomever, you know, the voters of America are smarter than you.
00:47:06.540 On the other hand, they like the Top Gun story, where they do see a Chinese nationalist flag on Tom Cruise's, you know, back,
00:47:13.460 that it's not the communist Chinese flag, but it's basically the flag of Taiwan.
00:47:17.360 They think that, that, that, you know, our history and our values need to be protected.
00:47:23.140 So, so it's come, come November, you know, we, we have to make changes.
00:47:28.280 I mean, this is.
00:47:29.320 Buzz Lightyear, I guess the great comparison is Buzz Lightyear, where they got rid of Tim Allen as the voice of Buzz Lightyear.
00:47:39.280 I'm talking like I'm an expert on Buzz Lightyear, but it put Chris Evans in, it pancaked at the box office.
00:47:49.040 It just was a disaster because people knew what they were doing.
00:47:52.280 They're playing politics at every level in Hollywood, and it's all Marxist, left, Democrat politics.
00:48:02.760 I want to, I want to say, John, as always, it's a pleasure talking with you, and I appreciate your time.
00:48:08.240 We all do.
00:48:10.060 And as always, you get the last word here on the Great America Show.
00:48:14.680 Well, in, in the realm of the last word, we have till November 8th.
00:48:18.860 So right now, this primary is coming up.
00:48:21.260 People need to keep voting in primaries, vote for the candidates to agree with their values,
00:48:24.720 and get ready to vote in November because we need to send a message that things in the United States either have to get better,
00:48:32.780 and we have to get stronger, and there's no, there's basically no, there's no other choices.
00:48:40.000 We have no other options.
00:48:42.260 Well said.
