The Great America Show - SHOCK POLL： Americans Reveal if they still support President Trump and his agenda!

00:00:00.000 Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries and the congressional Democrats are holding the entire

00:00:09.940 federal government hostage. I will tell you, a lot of Democrats want to get this thing

00:00:13.400 open too. They do. They're calling us and they just want to get it open. And all we're

00:00:19.360 doing is saying, just play the same thing until we get it straight. And they don't know

00:00:26.760 how to go about it. I mean, it's true. And the problem is we really don't know who the

00:00:30.440 hell is leading the Democrats. You have this AOC. I don't know her at all. But I watched

00:00:36.220 her the other day. She said, well, if they want, they could come to my office. That's

00:00:41.580 not leadership. The only one that challenged her actually was Nancy Pelosi. Nancy's not

00:00:47.800 looking too good. I don't know what happened to Nancy. But she's not looking great. But

00:00:53.600 she was the only one to give her credit. She was the only one to challenge her. But

00:00:57.260 AOC said that they can come to her office and negotiate, the Republicans, and say, oh,

00:01:03.660 I didn't know she was in leadership. But she's taking Hakeem Jeffries' place. And Schumer's

00:01:08.360 afraid that she's going to run against him. And right now, I don't know. He can change.

00:01:13.740 Life is crazy, right? But right now he can't beat, I don't think he can beat anybody. So

00:01:19.340 he'll lose in a primary. I would say he'll retire before he loses in a primary. So I

00:01:25.900 think Schumer's going to retire because he can't beat anybody. His polls are so bad.

00:01:30.100 Hello, everybody, and welcome to The Great America Show. It's great to have you with us.

00:01:33.260 There you go. You have some news from President Trump. He believes crying Chuck Schumer's time

00:01:38.080 is coming to an end in the Senate. And I think it's great. I think it's great for everyone.

00:01:42.080 It's great for the people of New York, great for the Senate. New York will finally get a

00:01:46.120 Marxist, true Marxist. I think Schumer's a Marxist convert. But they'll get a true Marxist

00:01:51.680 like AOC in there and continue to make New York great again, right? They're doing a great job

00:01:56.380 surplusing money. Taxes are low. Crime is low, right? All great. That's what happens when you let

00:02:04.820 Democrats run a city. Well, it's quite the opposite to that. So the government shutdown still going,

00:02:10.180 I guess, for a day eight, day nine, losing track at this point, because every single day I turn

00:02:15.080 on TV, it's the same nonsense from Chuck Schumer. It's the same nonsense from Hakeem Jeffries. It's

00:02:19.880 lies after lies and no ownership of who's really to blame here. We all know it's the Democrats. We

00:02:27.760 know it's the Democrats who refuse to pass the continuing resolution to open this thing up and

00:02:31.940 get people paid again while they reconcile a budget. But it's not stopping the Trump administration

00:02:38.560 from working. And I mean, working full force, full steam ahead. ICE, the DHS and President Trump

00:02:45.540 himself yesterday holding a roundtable for some young journalists at the White House today, holding

00:02:51.040 a cabinet meeting early in the morning. And President Trump last night during that roundtable

00:02:56.620 with a big announcement. We may finally have peace in the Middle East between Israel and the Gaza 0.97

00:03:04.760 region. President Trump is now taking a trip over there Saturday or Sunday to Egypt to sign a

00:03:10.640 proclamation. He expects the hostages and the remains to all be handed over Monday or Tuesday

00:03:16.700 of next week. Now, during his cabinet meeting today, some of the members of his cabinet letting us all

00:03:23.200 know who's responsible for making this deal and who made it all possible.

00:03:27.980 You know, I don't know if one day perhaps the entire story will be told about the events of yesterday,

00:03:32.780 but suffice it to say, it's not an exaggeration that none of it would have been possible without

00:03:37.320 the President of the United States being involved.

00:03:49.000 It really began with your trip to the Middle East, where these relationships were forged with

00:03:53.160 partners in the region, personal relationships, close relationships that created the foundation

00:03:58.460 where all this was possible. Where I think this really took a turn. Remember, a month ago,

00:04:02.360 no one thought this was possible. Where it really took a turn about a month ago, less than a couple

00:04:06.780 weeks ago, is when we were at the United Nations. And you convened a historic meeting, not simply of

00:04:11.520 Arab countries, but Muslim-majority countries from around the world, including Indonesia was there,

00:04:16.240 Pakistan was there, and created this coalition behind this plan. Then on that following Monday,

00:04:22.580 you met with the Prime Minister of Israel here, and that plan was presented. And then, of course,

00:04:28.020 our great negotiating team followed up on it. In the interim, again, perhaps the stories will be told,

00:04:35.280 perhaps they will never be told. The President had some extraordinary phone calls and meetings

00:04:40.280 that required a high degree of intensity and commitment, and made this happen. And I think what's important to

00:04:50.940 understand is that yesterday what happened was really a human story. There's a geopolitical aspect to it,

00:04:55.740 there's no doubt about it. It creates the conditions for Gaza to one day be a normal place again, and 0.88

00:05:00.880 people to have a better life, and Israelis to be safe. But yesterday was a human story. And because

00:05:06.160 of the work you put in, honestly, there is no, not only is there no other leader in the world that could

00:05:10.380 have put this together, Mr. President, but frankly, I don't know of any American president in the modern

00:05:14.880 era that could have made this possible. Because of the actions you have taken unrelated to this,

00:05:19.600 and because of who you are, and what you've done, and how you're viewed. And this weekend,

00:05:24.740 because of that, at some point very soon, we are going to see 20 living human beings emerge from the

00:05:29.960 darkness into the light for the first time in two years. And that is because not only were you,

00:05:34.580 you used the credibility, and the power, and the prestige of this office, and the relationships you

00:05:39.740 created, and you committed yourself to making it happen. And I think it will go down as a historic

00:05:44.120 moment in the history of our country, and something our country should be very proud of,

00:05:48.860 that we have a president that's committed to the, not just peace, but to the human aspect of

00:05:53.900 reuniting these families. My last point on this is, just a couple days ago, Secretary Lutnik hosted us

00:05:59.260 all, many of us, at the Kennedy Center. And we have these families, we've interacted with them for so

00:06:04.160 many years, for two years now. And the stories are heartbreaking, both whose families are alive,

00:06:10.240 and those who are deceased as well, who want their relatives back so that they can complete the

00:06:15.120 process of grieving. And it was, we had all hoped that perhaps that was the day that we would have

00:06:20.140 an announcement for them on the anniversary of the 7th. But I know you were able to speak to some of

00:06:24.200 those families last night. And I just hope the whole nation understands what, how incredibly proud

00:06:29.760 they should be of their president and of their country for the role that they've played. And I don't

00:06:33.820 want to let this moment pass, Mr. President, without also noting the incredible work of Steve

00:06:38.520 Woodcoff and Jared Kushner. They're an incredible team working together, facing some substantial

00:06:45.260 impediments to even being there this weekend and doing it. Suffice it, let me just leave it at that.

00:06:51.020 And they've done a great job on their behalf, Mr. President, and they deserve a tremendous amount

00:06:54.980 of credit. But thank you for what you've done here to the world, for the world. Thank you very much.

00:06:59.120 I appreciate it.

00:07:00.820 President Trump, not just making America great again, but he's making the world great again,

00:07:04.600 and the world safe again. And it's all part of America no longer being the world police. And I

00:07:09.420 think we've got to get away from that in order to reinvent this country and to have it a world run

00:07:17.180 without America having to intervene in every single schoolyard fight. And President Trump,

00:07:24.120 obviously, doing a terrific job at that, among some other people speaking at that cabinet meeting

00:07:28.740 with J.D. Vance and J.D. Vance, I mean, absolutely leveling the Marxist Dems for their politics are

00:07:34.280 playing with our American people's money and our American people's job.

00:07:38.560 Mr. President, first of all, congratulations on yesterday. It was a big day to Marco, to Susie,

00:07:42.140 to the entire team. But in particular, viewing it from this perspective, where for months,

00:07:48.020 the fake news media attacked you, attacked the entire team, attacked your approach. You know,

00:07:52.620 the definition of insanity is to do the same thing again and again, expecting a different result.

00:07:57.000 The reason we're here is because the president actually charted a different course with a

00:08:00.660 different team. He vested a lot of authority in Steve Wyckoff in particular. And that's why we're

00:08:06.700 here. It's because you did something different. And I think it's important to recognize that.

00:08:10.980 I also think the president, you know, Marco mentioned the president's personal touch being

00:08:13.980 a big part of this. The one thing I would say is, is obviously the president of the United States,

00:08:18.540 a New York real estate billionaire, one of the most famous New Yorkers in the world,

00:08:21.880 has a lot of interaction with a lot of people who are very pro-Israel. I think that was an

00:08:25.880 important set of experiences and life experiences that he brought to the table. He also, of course,

00:08:31.120 knew one of the most famous Palestinians in the world, Chuck Schumer. And I think without that

00:08:34.460 background of knowledge, it would have been impossible to get us to this.

00:08:40.200 Second thing I would say, just on Chuck Schumer, the president mentioned this, that Chuck Schumer said,

00:08:46.840 this has been very good for us this morning about the shutdown. One of the things that we talked

00:08:51.560 about before all the media came in and that all of us are going to work on for the rest of the day,

00:08:55.400 we've been working on for days, is how to make the shutdown as painless as possible on the American

00:09:00.100 people. So while Chuck Schumer brags about this being good, and I think the president is right,

00:09:04.020 it's not good for him politically as much as he might think that it is. It's causing real

00:09:08.460 consequences for the American people. There's a low-income food program, the WIC program,

00:09:12.600 that my mom actually used when I was a baby. That program is about to be underfunded and it's about to

00:09:18.240 get cut off because Chuck Schumer won't open the government. We have troops. Secretary of War

00:09:23.620 mentioned how well we're doing on recruitment. We're trying to figure out how to pay our troops

00:09:27.000 because Chuck Schumer is shutting down the U.S. government. There are veterans benefits that

00:09:31.820 are going to suffer. There are Americans that are going to suffer because Chuck Schumer refuses to

00:09:35.600 do his job. So while we're all celebrating this incredible success that we've had on the world stage,

00:09:41.200 the country could be doing so much better if Chuck Schumer did his job and opened the government.

00:09:48.240 Every single Republican except for Rand Paul has voted to open the government. A few moderate

00:09:53.720 Democrats to their credit have voted with us to open the government. We just need five more

00:09:58.700 Democrats to come to their senses and let the people's government serve the American people.

00:10:03.180 I hope that they'll do that. Not too much to ask for Chuck and Nancy and AOC and all the other

00:10:09.120 Marxist Dems holding this government hostage, holding the people's jobs hostage. Folks, we're going to

00:10:14.160 take a quick break here on the other side of this break. We're going to be joined by Mark Mitchell of

00:10:17.080 Rasmussen Reports. He's got some new polling for us on who the American people are blaming for this.

00:10:21.780 Is President Trump doing a good job or is he not? He's also got some new polling on Middle East

00:10:27.620 and what the American people are saying about that. We're going to take a quick break here.

00:10:31.740 If you're joining us on YouTube, please be sure to like, subscribe and follow. If you're joining us

00:10:35.800 on Rumble, please do the same. We appreciate it always. The Great America Show continues in just

00:10:40.320 one moment, folks. We're coming right back. Mark, it's always a delight to have you with us. I want

00:10:50.320 to start with first the American people, according to CNN and their preeminent pollster, Harriet. And

00:10:55.860 I got to say, he's doing a pretty good job and I'll get your take on it after this video. But

00:10:59.100 CNN is admitting the truth that President Trump is doing exactly what he promised he was going to do

00:11:06.600 by an overwhelming majority. Take a listen. Sometimes I think it's worth taking that 35,000

00:11:11.800 vote view. And as far as the American people are concerned, Trump could be better known as Steady

00:11:16.440 Eddie. What are we talking about here? Well, why don't we take a look here? Favorable view of Donald

00:11:20.540 Trump. You know, you go back to October of 2024, 44 percent of the American public viewed him favorably.

00:11:26.020 Now, despite everything, look at this 43 percent, which is well within the margin of error of that 44 percent.

00:11:33.980 And here's the thing to keep in mind. This was good enough to get Trump reelected back in 2024.

00:11:39.040 And Donald Trump is basically at the same point here right now, which I think would surprise a lot

00:11:43.740 of folks, especially a lot of folks on the left who very much disagree with a lot of what Donald

00:11:47.940 Trump has done. What do you see is underneath that and driving that? Why is he basically the same?

00:11:52.600 OK, you know, to quote the esteemed collar Dennis Green, the former head coach in the National Football

00:11:57.260 League, Donald Trump is who the voters thought he was. What are we talking about here? Well,

00:12:02.200 is Trump doing what he promised in the 2024 campaign? Yes. Fifty two percent. The majority

00:12:07.720 of Americans say that Donald Trump is doing what he promised compared to 48 percent who said no.

00:12:12.800 So what essentially is going on here is the voters expected all of this from Donald Trump.

00:12:17.140 The majority did. And that is why his favor rating simply has not really moved all that much compared

00:12:23.200 to where it was a year ago. Trump is basically doing what the American people thought that he was

00:12:29.980 going to do. Indeed, if you look at the numbers, Trump has basically the steadiest favorable rating

00:12:34.720 this much through a presidency of any president on record. And it's basically where he was

00:12:40.280 a year ago, good enough to get him reelected. So then what is what are you saying is how this

00:12:44.860 is impacting midterms? Yeah. OK, so one of the questions we basically had as we've gone on through

00:12:49.600 the numbers, right, is that Democrats have not been able to run away with it. And now we know it's

00:12:53.800 basically because Donald Trump is where he thought he was, which was good enough for the Republicans

00:12:57.820 to maintain control of the House last time around. Look at this, the race for Congress,

00:13:01.120 Dems versus Republican margin. You look at the New York Times poll. It was tied a year ago at this

00:13:05.120 point. Now it's Democrats plus two within the margin of error. Look at Yahoo, YouGov. It was plus

00:13:10.400 three Democrats at this point a year ago. Now it's plus four. Maybe the Democrats have gained a little

00:13:15.920 bit. But in reality, Kate, what we're really seeing is that the American public is pretty much

00:13:21.080 steady. They are basically where they were a year ago at this point. Maybe Democrats can take control

00:13:26.920 of the House where the polling is right now, but maybe not because the bottom line is we've seen

00:13:31.600 numbers fairly similar to what we have right now. We had it a year ago and it was not good enough for

00:13:36.380 Democrats to take control. The bottom line is this. As long as Donald Trump is where he is,

00:13:40.980 Republicans will, in fact, remain competitive. If they, in fact, gain a little bit, it really would

00:13:45.600 not be that surprising to me if Republicans were able to maintain control of the House, especially

00:13:49.880 given their redistricting efforts in many of those states. Fascinating. It's a really good look,

00:13:54.640 Kerry. Thank you so much. Thank you, Kate. A really good look.

00:13:59.180 How did she let that one slip?

00:14:02.620 Yeah, she got a... 0.95

00:14:04.600 52% say he's doing what he says he was going to do. 43% approval. I just looked at the number.

00:14:10.400 You guys got him at Rasmussen. I'm at 49%. So whatever. He's inside the margin of error at 44.

00:14:15.780 I think 44 for CNN polling. What I'm trying to get at is this is way better than what we saw the first

00:14:22.900 time. It's still not accurate, but it's way better than what we got the first time. I mean,

00:14:26.320 you look at some numbers, but you look at Reuters. Ipsos has him at 40. CBS has 42. So whatever. Say

00:14:32.620 he's at 43 inside of a margin of error of two points. It could put him at 45 or 346 inside that margin.

00:14:40.580 Well, you know, Harry sometimes is allowed to say good news. And then the very next week,

00:14:48.080 he'll probably have a bit next week about how Donald Trump's underwater on immigration. He's

00:14:51.800 all over the place. But this is the stuff I've been saying forever, which is okay. Trump's agenda

00:14:56.500 is more popular than he is. But then Trump also won the election, the national popular vote. And that

00:15:03.500 also everybody sandbags his favorability rating. I have him at 49% job approval after a shutdown.

00:15:09.860 They have him at 40 to 43. And if you see there, it doesn't say Reuters. Ipsos at the bottom of the

00:15:15.180 screen. It says Harry Entence aggregate. Well, it doesn't include us and it includes a bunch of

00:15:20.380 other people. And some of that stuff, you know, it's going to smooth out. It's going to make the

00:15:24.380 margin of error less because we're combining multiple samples together. Right. And so the reason that they

00:15:30.140 do that, the reason they take five points of a haircut off of his approval is because then every time

00:15:35.420 something happens, they can drop it below 40 and have headlines about how bad his favorability rating is.

00:15:39.860 It doesn't make sense in the polls on the thing that that guy explains. 52% say Trump's doing what

00:15:46.300 they want, but he's only got a 44% favorability rating. That doesn't make sense. It doesn't make

00:15:50.780 sense at all. The way I perceive it, Mark, is exactly what you just said, is that his policies are more

00:15:55.880 favorable than he is. And we've heard this, Mark, for 10 years that Donald Trump, I hate the guy. I can't

00:16:01.140 stand him, but I like his policies. If he just shut his mouth and he didn't tweet out, I would like him

00:16:06.400 even more. See, I disagree. I like Donald Trump, the person he is. I like the, the genuine. Yeah.

00:16:10.680 A wrecking ball. So that's where I think my opinion, I'm not a pollster, obviously, but that's

00:16:14.580 where I think maybe the discrepancy is, is there's people who live in New York, Mark, who live in

00:16:19.480 Staten Island, New York, who live in Brooklyn, New York, live in Queens, New York, who are tired of

00:16:23.020 seeing migrants on their streets, criminals on their streets, but they don't necessarily care for 1.00

00:16:28.300 Donald Trump. That's the difference. John, you're right. You're a hundred percent right. But you know

00:16:32.500 what? Reuters Ipsos isn't out there integrating people into their Ipsos panel who live in the

00:16:39.120 Rust Belt, in a rural area. They're just not. And so what my polling shows is that, yeah, Trump stuff

00:16:44.880 is popular. It's in the 60s. It's like mass deportations of legal immigrants, 64 percent.

00:16:52.380 Wow.

00:16:52.700 Creating the swamp, 67 percent. And you're not going to hear any of that on the mainstream media news because

00:16:57.300 they can't let that stuff seem to be that popular. And so in my opinion, there's a political

00:17:02.400 realignment. We've gotten into this before, but it's not Republican versus Democrat anymore. And I

00:17:07.340 think it's hard to look at what's going to happen in the House because Congress is functionally

00:17:11.160 incompetent. It's not doing anything. But this is literally about complete redress of voters,

00:17:17.900 grievances, justice, accountability. That's what I think the MAGA movement and Republicans need to focus

00:17:22.620 on. Yeah. And I say this every single day, Mark. The only way the Republicans lose the midterm elections

00:17:28.860 is if they lose them themselves, not the Democrats. The Democrats, I mean, they've literally done

00:17:34.060 everything possibly wrong that you can possibly do wrong, including sending Hakeem Jeffries out in front

00:17:39.320 of the camera every day and sending out drunk Nancy Pelosi, who looks like she's ready to fall down another 1.00

00:17:43.380 flight of stairs and break her other hip. They're playing the thing completely wrong. Now, the Republicans,

00:17:47.980 of course, they don't know what they're doing. They don't know how to exploit how the Democrats are

00:17:51.760 playing this so wrong. But every morning, Mark, I do my morning read. I'll read Politico. I read

00:17:56.500 Breitbart. I read the New York Post. I read the Gateway Pundit and I read the Daily Mail. And this

00:18:01.680 morning I come across a article on the Hill, which is incredible enough, I think, to put down for your dog

00:18:07.960 to go to the bathroom. Yeah. All paper alone. Democrats in every office in Capitol Hill. That and

00:18:14.300 Politico. Yes. And that's where the money comes from. If you look at how much money they

00:18:17.920 pay these people, whether you want it or not. Democrats win momentum over GOP in shutdown

00:18:24.700 fight. Now, I've been following this closely every single day. I've been reading everything

00:18:28.640 on Twitter. I'm doing exactly what you told me, Mark. I'm spending more time on Twitter,

00:18:32.460 doing a lot of hate on Twitter. And I cannot find anywhere that even perceives the Democrats are

00:18:39.540 winning this fight. No, no, they're not. Well, I can give you a lot of evidence that they're not

00:18:45.340 going to. First off, everybody expected this shutdown. We had numbers approaching 70% of

00:18:50.620 Americans. And America just saw the can get kicked. They saw a big, beautiful bill. But there's

00:18:54.920 something about this shutdown where they're like, nope, everybody's digging in for this one.

00:18:58.460 So people thought it was going to get shut down. And usually when people aren't surprised,

00:19:02.740 you're not going to see a huge change in the polling. Donald Trump's approval rating dropped like

00:19:06.580 four points to negative five. It's back up to negative one. That's like a matter of days,

00:19:11.100 just gone. The last time that major shutdown, he dropped like 10 points and he was down for a

00:19:17.120 month before it came back up because they cried wolf. We had the biggest shutdown in American's

00:19:22.680 history. And people said, no, it wasn't as bad as we thought it was going to be. It had no impact

00:19:27.380 on them. Only 10% of America said a major impact. And then America has actually been asking for a

00:19:32.280 shutdown because it knows it's got a spending problem and wants to cut spending. Those numbers

00:19:36.160 are like 56%. So I think it's going to be like, listen, who are the people saying this is a Trump

00:19:44.220 MAGA shutdown? It's relegated to blue sky, which is dying. It's in the bowels of Reddit. And those

00:19:50.300 people are an echo chamber. They're obviously going to believe that. But I think people are looking

00:19:54.740 around and saying, well, nothing's really changed and I hate the federal government. And so I don't

00:19:59.300 mind that much if park rangers are crying about not being able to make next month rent payment.

00:20:04.480 Yeah. And, you know, even I got to give credit because I go up to the mainstream media every

00:20:08.580 day, but I've got to give credit to the mainstream media there. I think reporting it is accurately

00:20:12.940 as I've ever seen them cover anything inside the Donald Trump sphere. MSNBC, CNBC, CNN, Fox News is

00:20:21.320 whatever. But they're all having on Hakeem Jeffries. They're having on Nancy Pelosi. They're

00:20:27.180 having on Chuck Schumer and they're asking them straight to their face. You know, this is a

00:20:31.440 continuing resolution. I don't want to see our most of us don't, but open this thing up and get

00:20:37.460 this thing, you know, to a point where we can have a conversation. But these people are going on

00:20:43.380 these networks, Mark, and they're looking like total fools. They're getting railroaded by the

00:20:47.680 hosts. The hosts are saying, listen, this is a continuing resolution that you signed six months ago,

00:20:52.340 the same funding from six months ago. And you guys don't want to sign it. Why? And Hakeem Jeffries

00:20:59.280 goes in front of the camera with a sombrero on, dumbfounded. Nancy Pelosi drunk as a skunk. Chuck 0.99

00:21:05.200 Schumer, you know, bloviating and lying. Why is nobody telling these people get away from the cameras?

00:21:13.000 Yeah, I mean, I guess they've it's years and years of not being held accountable for being stupid.

00:21:18.700 Because look at Kamala Harris. She was almost president and she couldn't fog a mirror at the 1.00

00:21:23.020 debates. It was horrible. Remember the fight she had with like Brett Baer on Fox News?

00:21:27.640 It's unbelievable. Yeah. So this is like the capability of these people. But again,

00:21:32.800 like this is new polling. It's not out yet. But this isn't this isn't going to affect

00:21:36.580 public opinion. Who's which which political party is more to blame for the shutdown? Republicans,

00:21:42.200 41 Democrats, 37. But 27 percent of Republicans say Republicans. They don't care. It's like,

00:21:49.580 yeah, we shut it down. So unfortunately, what my question is, is like, where's Russ Vought right now?

00:21:55.780 Well, I he's probably concocting some sort of play. I mean, the shutdown is going to end

00:22:00.680 eventually. Right. I'd say probably in the next week. It doesn't have to end. I mean,

00:22:05.720 in all likelihood, it has to, man, these people have to hear my masterstroke, John. This is what

00:22:10.480 we should do. OK, so John Thune out there talking to Politico says, well, you know, people have been

00:22:17.180 calling for the nuclear option, including me, including me for months. But it's not going to

00:22:22.840 happen. And here's why, because the Democrats really want it. They've told us they want to

00:22:26.840 use the nuclear option. And yeah. And by the way, everybody I talk to says when they get them a

00:22:31.400 Senate majority, they're going to do it. Sure. But Republicans are split because they don't want

00:22:36.260 to give the Democrats that power. That's literally what John Thune says. So they know the Democrats are

00:22:41.940 going to do it. And yet the Republicans can't unify around this. And so it's not going to happen.

00:22:46.300 But what they could do tomorrow is use the nuclear option not to open the government up.

00:22:52.320 They should keep the government shut down and pass bills, good bills every day between now and the

00:22:59.020 end of the session. And it's like all the things that Americans want codify every Trump executive

00:23:04.200 order. Yeah. Which they still haven't done eight months later. No, you're absolutely right.

00:23:08.520 But by them doing nuclear and opening the government, it gives the Democrats a free pass

00:23:13.000 on everything that they've literally been fighting against on the American people for the last

00:23:17.340 nine days or whatever it's been since the shutdown. So I 100% agree. And I'm finally happy to see John

00:23:24.240 Thune. If he tried to get rid of this filibuster for this nuclear option, and he didn't go in August

00:23:29.820 when it was time for appointments, I think the writing would have been on the wall and then someone

00:23:34.620 would have had to help hold him accountable for just being a lowlife. So I'm glad that he's standing

00:23:39.080 strong on this. But I don't know. I to me, I feel like eventually, in the next I say week or so,

00:23:45.520 the Democrats are going to have to cave. They're losing on the messaging mark on every single turn.

00:23:51.660 I don't see how they pull themselves out of this. Now, to me, it seems this time around,

00:23:55.220 Americans are just like, kind of disconnected and disengaged. We've got big elections coming up that 1.00

00:24:01.560 in the next month that people are focused on your state of New Jersey for governor,

00:24:05.960 my state of New York for mayor, you know, there's a bunch of big race government that I think people 0.70

00:24:10.880 are probably more focused on than just a government shutdown. It doesn't affect me, right? But it

00:24:16.300 affects, I think, everyone. I was flying the other day from Vegas to New Jersey, and it was like a

00:24:21.600 three-hour delay going into Newark. I said, screw this. I went into JFK instead. We're seeing that now

00:24:27.420 all across the country. So it's going to start now affecting the ordinary Americans' lives, and they're

00:24:34.160 going to start getting pissed off. That's why I think it ends sooner than later.

00:24:39.420 Maybe. This is after the Biden administration. Just think about what people went through.

00:24:45.020 The Democrats wanted to put the unvaccinated in prison camps, and they wanted to throw people

00:24:50.120 who questioned the efficacy of the vaccine in jail. And then all of the small businesses were shut down.

00:24:56.300 Justice was weaponized. They tried to jail Donald Trump. They flooded the border with 8 million

00:25:02.400 illegal aliens and stuffed fentanyl down everybody's throats. And so the level of anger, 0.99

00:25:07.940 remember, only 30% trust the federal government. There's palpable anger. There's a signal of people

00:25:12.820 wanting to get arrested. And so what I've been framing the new politics as is that this system

00:25:17.740 needs to be burned down. That's where I think most voters are. And that's not where the Republicans are.

00:25:22.180 And so they need to get there fast and bending over backwards in order to reach a bipartisan

00:25:28.960 resolution so that the DC can just get back to milking the Joe taxpayer that doesn't have a single

00:25:36.020 cent left. It's not the right optics. And that's the thing that blows my mind is because I just feel

00:25:42.140 that what Republicans want is to get this thing back going again so that they can focus on this big

00:25:48.080 budget reconciliation thing. And they're going to pat themselves on the back for passing like

00:25:52.440 another 10% of Trump's agenda into it. But 90% of it is just going to be like the same DC garbage

00:25:59.580 because the one big, beautiful bill, it wasn't a win. It wasn't really a win yet. And so the same

00:26:05.500 thing. So is all of Trump's legislative agenda just going to be like hijinks that happen inside these

00:26:10.920 reconciliation bills? It would appear that that's the case. That's not the level of accountability and

00:26:17.200 change that people want. Yeah. Speaking of accountability and change, I want to bring

00:26:22.040 this to you now. I don't, I don't regard Gallup in the highest level anymore. I think they used to do

00:26:26.400 a pretty decent job. They've, they've lost their way a tiny bit. They've got a new poll out. DHS sees

00:26:32.420 the biggest jump mark in public approval among federal agencies. This new poll, 42% of respondents

00:26:39.460 to job to job being well done by DHS. And it's either excellent or good. Last year at the same point,

00:26:45.340 Mark, 32% said they were favorable. 23% in the Gallup polls. So the job is being done. Only fair

00:26:51.920 30, 33% say the job was poor. So this goes to the sentiment that people approve of what President

00:27:00.700 Trump is doing. And I mean, immigration, this is the thing that boggles my mind, Mark, you've got JB

00:27:06.600 Pritzker, you've got Brandon Johnson, you've got Rachel Maddow as the, the governor of, of Oregon.

00:27:13.060 Um, I don't know if you've seen this woman, but she looks just like Rachel Maddow with gray hair 0.97

00:27:18.260 and, um, nevermind. I'm not gonna get myself in trouble. But, uh, so you've got all these people,

00:27:23.700 Mark, who are fighting saying, let the illegal stay. They're good people. Number one, if you think

00:27:28.520 they're good people, you should take them to come live with you and you should offer a place for

00:27:31.480 them to live. That's the easiest thing. And you can harbor them if you want to. That's number one.

00:27:35.900 Um, number two, things have ramped up now to a level. This is why I'm saying this, this, this

00:27:42.400 number is, is remarkable to me because they've ramped up to a level where we're seeing riots

00:27:46.620 around streets, protecting illegals, where we're seeing, uh, ice agents hurt and harmed because of

00:27:52.740 illegal aliens. And we're seeing police officers told to stand down and protect the illegal aliens.

00:27:57.840 Yet we have an uptick by 10 points, even with all this, we can call it uproar if that's how the left

00:28:05.160 wants to perceive it with all this uproar. It's still a 10 point increase that people want the

00:28:10.640 illegals gone. Uh, people have been paying, I think a lot closer attention to the federal government

00:28:16.700 because we were tracking mostly the FBI during Biden's administration and, uh, middle of Trump's

00:28:22.840 first term, the FBI had a 62% favorable rating, but once they started getting involved in manipulating

00:28:28.600 the outcome of elections and creating Russia collusion hoaxes, and then rating Mar-a-Lago with

00:28:32.980 the authorized use of deadly force, it got into the forties and lost 20 points. People didn't trust it

00:28:38.460 anymore. And they called it Joe Biden's personal Gestapo. And so, yeah, people pay attention. And when

00:28:44.220 an organization does its job, this is what a federal agency is supposed to do. People take notice.

00:28:49.100 That's what happens when 64% of America wants mass deportations and you give it to them.

00:28:54.000 So this is a lesson for Republicans, like breathe this in. And I think most of the Republicans would

00:28:58.400 probably distance themselves from the DHS because they'd say, Oh, look at the means it's posting on

00:29:02.620 Twitter. It's so non-presidential. This is people aren't going to know. People want these

00:29:07.100 illegal aliens put into human cannons and shot back over the border. That's the level of what they want 1.00

00:29:13.480 right now. So, uh, I mean like how many more times do we have to prove this?

00:29:19.820 That's like, I don't know if you, do you remember outside the white house when they rested like 50

00:29:23.680 drug lords, there was this very, very overweight woman and everyone was sharing her meme and she'd 1.00

00:29:29.480 been deported for like fentanyl. Uh, and then, and the meme was just going viral everywhere. It was made

00:29:36.500 into all these, uh, AI videos, which by the way, the AI videos, Mark, have gotten out of control.

00:29:42.660 Yeah. I just sold on that. You can't show. I mean, they're, they're absolutely crazy. Insane.

00:29:49.080 Uh, but I mean, it's literally become like a normal phenomenon that people are, I mean, happy

00:29:54.160 as we should be. These people are prowling our streets. They're putting drugs on our streets.

00:29:58.240 They're taking the jobs of people. Uh, you know, you, you hear the fight Mark constantly. Well,

00:30:04.000 if, uh, you don't have the illegals doing it, then who's going to do it? Well, there's 0.96

00:30:07.160 only one way to find out in my opinion, Mark. Right. Yeah. Oh, I remember this one. This

00:30:12.460 issue is crying that there was a studio Ghibli picture of her. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And you

00:30:18.040 can put it up for the audience so they can be on board with us. Yeah. Yeah. Sure. Hold

00:30:22.920 on. Both in trouble here. You know, like the part though, that it gets me though, is that

00:30:27.200 when Democrats were flooding the border with illegal aliens, they kind of were able to have

00:30:33.160 these ridiculous stances. Right. But now that they aren't, why are they doubling down? Because

00:30:39.960 like, let's step back and acknowledge what the Democrats are doing right now. They are likely

00:30:44.860 protesting the most popular government agency. Yes. And you, you see Tom Holman, who's in that

00:30:51.540 picture clearly right there. And this poor woman crying. Well, it turns out this one was a 1.00

00:30:55.860 distributing fentanyl in America. So I'm not entirely sure how poor of a woman is, but that's 1.00

00:30:59.900 their new thing. Now they want to go after Tom Holman. So they're going after Tom Holman

00:31:03.620 saying he accepted $50,000 and he was going to help somebody with something. Yeah. He was

00:31:09.460 doing consulting work as everyone did when they left the white house, because there's no

00:31:14.640 other way to get a job when you leave the Trump administration. That's how they've done

00:31:18.360 it. We're now under the Obama administration, you got jobs at Amazon, you got jobs at Apple,

00:31:22.200 you got board of director jobs, even though you're grossly unqualified, you got millions of

00:31:26.520 dollars from Ukraine, millions of dollars from China, you know, a four different situation

00:31:30.400 than you saw in the Trump administration. So yeah, Tom Holman's out there doing consulting

00:31:35.720 work. And now they're coming after him saying he made $50,000. Well, I hate to break it to

00:31:41.020 you, but you're really not going to corrupt somebody for $50,000. It's very hard to do.

00:31:46.300 Yeah. Well, we had a poll back in the spring and we asked people, one of them was how angry

00:31:53.480 are you at the level of waste fraud and abuse? And we got 72% who said angry, but then we had

00:31:58.600 another question. How likely is it that your elected representatives are profiting from ill

00:32:04.240 gotten connections or something like that? I forget exactly what it was. Basically, are

00:32:08.920 your elected representatives enriching themselves fraudulently? And it was like 70%, 70% of Americans

00:32:14.520 like, oh yeah, sure. Of course they are. That's what they do. They're lying scumbags. They hate

00:32:18.560 Congress. They hate the federal government and they actually kind of liked Kamala Harris. Like 1.00

00:32:23.460 she got actually pretty close to the presidency. And so there's disagreement about how to fix

00:32:28.520 this beast. But the problem is, is that America feels like it was oppressed. It feels like every

00:32:33.240 cent is being squeezed out by this maximum rent seeking, the way that the market is concentrated.

00:32:38.560 I just saw a report this morning. I forget where it was from, but the financial markets are more

00:32:44.200 concentrated now than they've been in 50 years. That's a really bad sign. It's like, everybody's

00:32:49.180 piled into 10 AI plays. It's probably going to come crashing down.

00:32:54.300 Yeah. Maybe some people deserve it. Maybe that's how you get a market corruption. I don't know. But

00:32:59.160 things, I mean, something's got to give with the housing markets. I mean, it's insane.

00:33:03.600 The insurance prices in states like Florida are absolutely insane. The property taxes in places,

00:33:10.160 is absolutely insane. I mean, everything is just in this massive bubble that I don't see how it

00:33:15.740 doesn't pop or implode somehow. It's almost the inevitable. It's going to be going on for far too

00:33:21.120 long. Well, your viewers are smart enough. Put this up, put this chart up. Let's get it up there.

00:33:28.660 What do we got here? Can you make that a little bit bigger? Gold price.

00:33:33.620 Right. This is a massive play right now. You look at gold. I mean, go back. You got a 10 year on the

00:33:39.960 gold or it's only a five year. Let's see a 10 year on the gold.

00:33:44.340 I mean, it's unbelievable. We're going to 4x basically.

00:33:50.540 I mean, this is what happens. You know, this is what happens. This is dollar weakness.

00:33:56.660 Caused by way too much. It's also uncertainty, Mark. People like to have

00:34:01.140 the whole Wall Street thing and the normal person investing really only came

00:34:06.960 to be big, Mark, in the last five, six years since COVID when Reddit blew up Wall Street bets

00:34:12.700 and people realize like normal people can start making money by just day trading and,

00:34:17.400 you know, doing X, Y, and Z. Before that, it was always the notion you need to have

00:34:21.080 $25,000 in your account and you got to do this. And the average person doesn't have that, Mark.

00:34:26.180 Most people live paycheck to paycheck. So it was always the notion that, you know,

00:34:30.760 you got to be this big baller and then this comes around.

00:34:33.220 But the thing with gold is that it's a tangible good that people could actually hold.

00:34:37.800 And if people flee somewhere, they could take that gold with them unless you go to jail like

00:34:41.640 Bob Menendez. But it's an actual tangible good that you can hold and that you know you possess.

00:34:47.020 Whereas you invest in a company and people, you know, goes belly up and you lose the stock and

00:34:51.560 people, you know, there it is. So I think this is a revolt against the American government and

00:34:57.780 the US dollar by people stockpiling gold. A hundred percent. Everything's gotten so

00:35:03.140 expensive. You just talked about it. Housing is expensive. Groceries are expensive. You know

00:35:07.500 what I mean? Like literally the cost of everything. Insurance is going up. And is it because of

00:35:12.040 scarcity or is it because of like too many dollars? And it's like, well, that's the problem.

00:35:17.620 It's not even that too, Mark. I was telling the audience today, I pay over $900 a month for

00:35:22.420 healthcare. I'm a healthy, no preexisting conditions. I've been to the hospital maybe

00:35:28.060 one time in my life to get stitches on my hand. I mean, I've literally never, I go to the doctor

00:35:32.060 once a year, twice a year for blood work. I go to the dentist once a year, like the best

00:35:37.120 possible healthcare case you could possibly have of not going to the doctor or the emergency room

00:35:43.580 or anything. I mean, I've broken fingers, Mark, and I don't even go. I still have a finger

00:35:46.760 that I never got repair. And not over $900 a month, just the possibility of something happens

00:35:54.480 to me. This is what Obamacare did to this country where people don't realize.

00:35:59.020 Well, it's worse than Obamacare. And here's this theory of political realignment that I've

00:36:02.720 been working on, John. We've talked about the fourth turning, and I think that explains some

00:36:07.360 of it, like how institutions rise and fall. Basically, we become corrupted and fall apart.

00:36:12.900 But there's this other term in Silicon Valley called in shittification. And so the idea is

00:36:18.320 that like normally a company builds a good product, the customer likes it, and there's a good exchange

00:36:23.480 of value. But over time, when the scumbag MBAs get involved, and when the stock goes public,

00:36:28.480 and they got to make earnings per share, what they do is they squeeze every little bit out of the

00:36:33.140 product that they can. And obviously, the customer experience gets worse, but the customer's

00:36:37.980 already locked in. And so everything just gets garbage. That's what's happened to our entire

00:36:42.880 society. Everything over the last 30 years, 40 years, they've globalized everything they

00:36:49.280 can. They've squeezed every cent that they can. They've put every manipulative trick of

00:36:56.400 federal government appropriations in place in order to milk as much money out of the taxpayer.

00:37:02.040 And it's all ground to a halt. It's stuck. And so unfortunately, I think we're in a place

00:37:07.620 where there's like no easy answers here. And we're going to run into this situation with scarcity.

00:37:13.300 The healthcare is like the biggest one. It's like over 20% of our GDP. And the outcomes have not

00:37:19.880 improved. We're basically just paying for like hover rounds for diabetic boomers and putting open heart

00:37:27.620 surgery and super expensive chemo. Like that's what is happening is all of our wealth is going to

00:37:34.580 taxpayer funding people to enrich the health industry and not improve health outcomes.

00:37:41.460 Yeah, the health industry is the biggest, perhaps the biggest scam industry. And I'll tell you what,

00:37:46.540 I got blood work. Now that we're on the topic of healthcare, I think it's probably pertinent to

00:37:49.620 talk about this. I got blood work maybe two or three weeks ago, Mark, just a regular blood panel.

00:37:54.380 I get a letter in the mail the other day from Quest Diagnostics that I owe $1,700. That was because

00:38:00.060 they didn't have my insurance card. So I'm obviously not paying $1,700, nor would I pay it. I would take

00:38:04.840 the bill, I'd rip it up into a million pieces and I would send it back to them, tell them to go F

00:38:07.920 themselves to think that for five minute blood work that you're going to charge someone $1,700.

00:38:16.100 That's if you don't have insurance, $1,700. I mean, I couldn't believe it, Mark.

00:38:22.080 I know that's ridiculous. It enraged me. And then it made me realize why people hate corporate

00:38:28.580 America, why people hate the industrial complex of these institutions. Now I see it from both sides.

00:38:36.740 I've had family members who ran Fortune 500 companies, and I see it from the side of someone

00:38:42.240 who is getting taken advantage of by the system. And we all are one way or another. Even if you're

00:38:48.220 part of the system, you're getting taken advantage of by the system. There's no way around it.

00:38:53.220 I guess it's just the perk of being an American and living in the greatest country in the world.

00:38:58.000 But we're literally all victims of the system in one way or another. And this is why you have such

00:39:03.920 hate. Now I'm not justifying what... John, it's worse than that. We subsidize the system. We

00:39:09.760 subsidize the system. We socialize the banking losses in the 2008 financial crisis. And then the

00:39:16.540 Bernanke dollars and all of the... We had recovery acts. Where did that money go? It went to connected

00:39:22.520 private equity investors in order to build green energy scams. Where did the Bernanke dollars go?

00:39:27.500 It went to invest in foreign nations and outshore our engineering and ship all of our manufacturing

00:39:32.380 overseas. It is parasitic. Going back to what I was saying, you see some of these polls and things

00:39:39.300 that people are saying about Luigi Mangione. He's the guy who gunned down the CEO of United Healthcare.

00:39:43.440 Now, on a preface of saying, I don't agree with what he did. He's a scumbag and he's going

00:39:47.820 to go to jail for the rest of his life, hopefully get the pet, the debt chair. But the reason

00:39:51.360 you're seeing people, sick people agreeing with him is because of their sentiment that

00:39:56.000 corporate America has created. They've created a line and you're on one side and you're on

00:40:01.900 the other side. And in most cases, you're all on the same side because they're screwing you

00:40:06.000 all equally. But this is why you're seeing sick people who are getting demented and who are

00:40:12.960 believing things like this. And it's enraging them to do bad things in this country. And I

00:40:18.620 think it only gets worse, Mark.

00:40:22.020 Yeah, it is. I have heard no viable solution. And I just looked at Grok while we were talking here.

00:40:28.780 Only between 40 and 45% of all blood work in the US is not taxpayer funded. So that's $1,700.

00:40:37.580 That's you and me paying for other people to go. And you go as many times as you want. Oh,

00:40:42.180 I don't feel good. Oh, go get a blood work. You know what I mean? Oh, I have to go get this

00:40:46.160 procedure done. Go get a blood work. $1,700. And it's the taxpayer footing that bill.

00:40:51.540 And so I talked about this political spectrum. We've talked about this before. And maybe I could

00:40:59.420 put this up too. But this is my theory of modern politics about how this needs to be looked at by

00:41:06.300 the Republican Party. And if people are familiar with political spectrums, you have conservative

00:41:11.780 on one side, liberal on the other. And then the wonks in the political science fields decided,

00:41:18.800 well, that's not good enough. They need two axes. And so one is economic freedom versus

00:41:24.980 socialism. And the other is authoritarianism versus libertarianism. But I don't think that

00:41:34.080 makes a lot of sense. Because what is the right right now? Is it really about economic freedom? Not

00:41:39.560 really. It's about rejiggering the entire system. I think this explains it. So this is authority trust

00:41:47.380 on the vertical axis. The higher you are, the more you trust people like Anthony Fauci.

00:41:51.880 And on the bottom, you want them in jail. And then on the right and left is grift tolerance.

00:41:57.280 Like how much inefficiency, theft, and fraud are you allowing out of the system?

00:42:03.360 And so I think 65% of the country is in green, which has burned the system down.

00:42:08.240 They don't trust anybody. They think it's all fake. They hate it. And they want it fixed.

00:42:13.120 But the problem is that I think Republicans and a lot of Democrat representatives are in the blue,

00:42:20.560 which has long lived the system. They're fine if 30% of Medicare is just like

00:42:26.820 duplicate payments to Venezuelan drug lords. That's okay because it's still a good system.

00:42:32.620 And of course, they trust authority. They are authority. They're doing fine. You go down to

00:42:37.140 Congress and they're happy with their performance. So how do you bridge that gap between John Thune

00:42:43.320 and MAGA voters? And then the other two quadrants, most Democrat voters, I think, are in the red.

00:42:49.780 They just think that their experts are doing better. They think Pete Buttigieg was the best

00:42:54.580 Department of Transportation guy in the world. They want him back. And then the commies are in the

00:42:59.560 lower, in the purple. They just want, like George Soros and AOC, they want to steal the system

00:43:04.660 from the right. The people in that red quadrant are the same people that look up to politicians

00:43:11.560 like they're godly figures, like Kamala Harris was some sort of godly figure that was going to come

00:43:16.940 down and save them. Clearly, she didn't. And thank God she didn't. Yeah, it's a totally broken system,

00:43:23.220 Mark. Before we wrap up, Mark's got a short, you can only do a short hit today. Mark's got to go watch

00:43:28.660 his kids play soccer, which is good. And forcing kids to go out and play sports is the best thing you

00:43:33.400 could possibly do and not give them an iPad or a cell phone is the next best thing you can do.

00:43:43.540 Mark's got some new polling for us out across the pond and somewhere in the Middle East.

00:43:48.780 Mark, take it away. What do we got? Well, you know, not too many people poll on Israel.

00:43:55.020 You know, me and Rich Barris joke about every time we poll on Israel, the ADL writes a new page

00:43:59.520 about us. But it's been pretty uncomfortable just that like in a year and a half, the support for

00:44:06.300 Israel as compared to Palestine has been utterly collapsing, almost 15 points just in a year and a

00:44:11.940 half. I think it's probably even worse. We're going into the field with that same question again.

00:44:15.940 And it's all because of the way that BB is handling this whole stuff down there. And whether it's a

00:44:21.800 genocide or not, like it doesn't matter. It's all public perception. And I'm saying that public

00:44:26.260 perception is going to run out on Israel soon, especially because of the way they're saying

00:44:31.200 things like having Ben Shapiro, Mark Levin and getting in a fight over Tucker, who is very

00:44:37.080 trusted. Like this is not the way to win people's hearts and minds. But one of the things we asked,

00:44:42.820 you know, Donald Trump is famously anti-war, but not all Republicans are. There's still a lot of

00:44:48.460 boomer cons that grew up on Tom Clancy novels that think that we're America's world police.

00:44:52.360 But how popular is war? Well, okay. Well, it depends on the war. So we asked,

00:44:57.620 would you approve or disapprove of the US going to war to defend Ukraine against Russia?

00:45:02.340 Would you go approve of the US going to war to defend Taiwan against China? And would you approve

00:45:08.140 of going war to defend Israel against Palestinians? And the war for Israel is the least popular war in

00:45:15.700 America. Only 38% approve of that, but it's 44% who approve of Taiwan and 41% who approve of Ukraine.

00:45:27.180 It's massively, massively underwater, 14 points. That's pretty big. And only half of Republicans,

00:45:34.720 51% of Republicans support a war for Israel.

00:45:37.300 Wow. And I want to, this isn't about being anti-Semitic, which I feel like I have to preface

00:45:45.740 with everything I say whenever you talk about Israel, because you're automatically declared

00:45:50.720 an anti-Semite or Mark Mitchell and John Foster being paid by Katara. Well, we're not, but if you

00:45:56.660 want to send the check, let us know. We'll take it. But that's what it's come to. And I've realized

00:46:01.960 this on Twitter. Anytime you speak out against anything, and it's not a Jewish thing, it's not 0.89

00:46:07.660 an Israeli thing. It's not on its face, an Israeli person. It's the government of Israel. It's the

00:46:14.100 politicians of Israel that are giving them a bad name, not the people in the country. But anytime

00:46:20.640 you speak out or say anything about it, you're automatically owned by Qatar. You're owned by 0.99

00:46:25.720 another entity, maybe Hamas or whatever. You can never have a dialogue, which I want to roll this

00:46:32.420 clip for you. Matt Gaetz was on with Tim Kast the other night, and he was talking about his time in

00:46:36.960 Congress about AIPAC. And now that's something we talk about here on the show a lot. Now AIPAC,

00:46:42.320 folks, it's a PAC, American-Israeli PAC, where they spend the most amount of money in any foreign

00:46:50.380 government by a factor of like 100 and something million dollars, and the money that they pour

00:46:56.560 into this politics. Now, Matt sat down, Matt Gaetz sat down with Tim Kast the other day and was asked

00:47:01.240 about his time in Congress at AIPAC. Take a listen to this. And I want you to just think in the back

00:47:07.480 of your mind how long before it comes out that Matt Gaetz is allegedly paid by Qatar.

00:47:12.680 Initially, I resented the fact that there was no appreciation for nuance. Like if you asked any

00:47:18.080 questions about any decision of the Israeli government in any place regarding settlements,

00:47:24.080 regarding Gaza, whatever, you were like, you had deviated from the script. And I just, in any

00:47:31.560 policy area, I had resentment over that. And then I saw the way the AIPAC worked. And that was weird

00:47:39.780 for like a country lawyer like me. I remember my first AIPAC reception and like your fundraiser tells

00:47:45.500 you, you have to go. And your chief of staff tells you, you have to go. Your committee chairman

00:47:49.760 will tell you, you have to go. And you get there and you wear this name badge. And I remember there's

00:47:53.600 a QR code on it. And what we were supposed to do was go talk to donors. And then if they liked you,

00:47:59.620 they scanned your QR code to make a donation like on the spot. And so this, can you just imagine how

00:48:06.840 demoralizing that is to like be told that your job for the next several hours to go chat people up,

00:48:11.940 hoping they would scan you like a can of tomato soup on the way out of the meeting.

00:48:17.360 I mean, it's like literally purchasing.

00:48:19.440 Right. And so I saw that and I was like, wow, that is so freaking weird. And then, you know, I was in Israel.

00:48:25.820 I went multiple times and I did not like the fact that I found someone in my room rooting around in my

00:48:31.280 stuff that should not have been there at the King David Hotel when I came back to my room when no one was

00:48:36.620 expecting me to be back in my room.

00:48:38.460 And I just don't believe Israeli launch. I don't know who it was. I just thought like,

00:48:42.420 this is weird. All of these things combined are odd. And then the policy outgrowth seems to be an

00:48:48.300 obsession about the Middle East that has not served my generation. Well, I just don't.

00:48:53.540 So I think it's only fair we give equal time to a pack, Mark. And they responded to Gates's

00:48:58.420 claims and they say a pack denied Gates's claims in a social media post writing quote.

00:49:03.220 The accusations about fundraisers is, of course, a lie. Barcodes are on the name badges,

00:49:08.000 but for security reasons, not fundraising and are scanned for that purpose.

00:49:12.960 Maybe at Matt Gates was confused because he wanted people to scan his barcode and they didn't even

00:49:17.900 want to talk to him. I think I'm probably going to err on the side of Matt Gates on this issue, Mark.

00:49:24.040 Yeah, I mean, take it with everything else. And it's it's so difficult to track this, but it's

00:49:29.740 important. Like, objectively, the other country should not have more influence than Americans.

00:49:35.080 And you've talked about the fundraising numbers. It's absolutely ridiculous.

00:49:39.980 But I think Americans see this because time and time again, for whatever reason, we do things that

00:49:44.780 are quite obviously not in America's best interest. And yet they suit the needs of the time.

00:49:50.040 So, like, I don't know where this is going, but it's not it's not working. It's going to run out on

00:49:56.280 them because more and more questions are being like James Wood just posted a tweet on Twitter.

00:50:00.680 Sure. And let's acknowledge that Twitter being a marketplace of free ideas is the probably the

00:50:07.540 biggest problem for APAC and the Israeli lobby. But James Wood just talked about like dual

00:50:13.720 citizenships. Yes, it should be banned at the Supreme Court. Like, why is that even controversial?

00:50:18.500 And that's an objectively good take. Yeah, we probably shouldn't have people with

00:50:22.800 split allegiance. And yet if you ask any AI, they'll say, oh, no, there's not a single elected

00:50:29.160 representative that has dual citizenship. Well, is that true or not? Like, I don't I don't know.

00:50:33.440 I remember seeing graphics five or 10 years ago that made large lists of people who are allegedly

00:50:39.140 dual citizens. And now every information source says, no, there's not a single one zero.

00:50:44.700 Wikipedia told me just like eight months ago that Randy Fine was a dual citizenship with Israel.

00:50:50.600 And now you can't find that anywhere on the Internet. It's so unbelievably bizarre.

00:50:54.300 Very, very strange. As you see, this website we got up here track a pack dot com. It tells you every

00:51:01.400 member of Congress and people who have. Let's see if we can get gates. He's not even on there anymore.

00:51:08.120 Any member. Interesting. Tom Cotton. Here we go. Tom Cotton has taken one point, almost one point two

00:51:15.700 million dollars expenditures of nine hundred and sixty. That's a very interesting one.

00:51:21.980 Two hundred. It's interesting to see. His expenditures are nine hundred sixty thousand nine.

00:51:27.720 Almost a million dollars, we'll call it, which is weird. Why are they spending that much money on him?

00:51:32.340 Yeah, it's interesting to see Rick Crawford and Tom Cotton next to each other, because somebody I know

00:51:36.680 that tracks these things knows that they have competing vision of how U.S.

00:51:42.240 counterintelligence is done in competing legislation. Rick Crawford's pushing the Secure Act that apparently

00:51:47.300 does something very different than Tom Cotton's. So it's like Rick took a little bit of APAC money, but

00:51:53.920 I don't know. Yeah. And like I said, this isn't an issue of anti-Semitism or anything like that.

00:52:00.520 It's the issue of you can't sit here and say you're all for getting corrupt money out of politics and

00:52:05.700 then say, OK, but I'm fine with with APAC money. It doesn't work both ways. You get all of the money

00:52:10.500 out of politics. And that's how you fix the issue. Mark. Yeah. Go ahead.

00:52:16.100 Anybody who says that outside money should be in politics doesn't quite understand the intent behind

00:52:21.740 how representative democracies are supposed to work. Yeah, you're absolutely right.

00:52:26.160 Mark, we're going to let you run. You've got to go watch your kids play soccer. I'm sure it's very

00:52:29.700 dreadful, but you're a great father. So we'll see you next week. Mark, any streams this week?

00:52:35.020 Where can people find you? What's happened? I was going to stream tonight, but unfortunately,

00:52:39.420 I have a Jack Cittarelli poll to process. The results should be out tomorrow and depending on

00:52:44.520 how they are, I'll determine whether I go to his rally or not. So maybe I'll do a video and I got

00:52:51.420 a video in the works covering James Comey stuff, which we didn't even talk about. But my big one

00:52:56.740 Monday night, I put out it's an hour and a half one super long. It's depressing. You're probably

00:53:01.920 going to want to drink after it, but it presents my whole theory about how the problems that we have

00:53:07.960 are much bigger and more different than what everybody thinks. This is not a fight between

00:53:12.600 Republicans and Democrats. It's something much, much larger. And if the right doesn't shift course

00:53:17.780 on this ASAP, there's going to be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Yeah, I agree with you. And you can

00:53:24.880 follow Mark on Twitter at Honest Holster at Rasmussen underscore poll on YouTube and catch him for his

00:53:30.580 weekly streams there. Mark Mitchell, we'll see you next week, my friend. All right. Great to be here.

00:53:34.680 Thanks, John. Thanks to Mark Mitchell, folks. And thank you all for being with us today here on

00:53:38.100 The Great America Show. We'll see you back here tomorrow. Truth, justice, and the American way

00:53:42.060 at the forefront against all enemies, against all odds, against all haters. See you back here

00:53:46.380 tomorrow, folks. Until then, may God bless you. May God bless America. May God bless the great

00:53:50.660 new dogs. Have a wonderful night.
