The Great America Show - SHOCK POLLS! Voters NOT HAPPY on Major Issues in Latest WARNING to GOP!

00:00:00.000 Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Great America Show. It's great to have you with us on this

00:00:06.260 beautiful day in America. Thanks so much for spending a part of your evening with us. There's

00:00:10.280 a lot to get to tonight, and in just a few moments, we're going to be joined by Mark Mitchell of

00:00:14.280 Rasmussen Reports, lead pollster, preeminent pollster for America. He's got some new polls

00:00:19.140 for us, folks, and I don't want to waste any time leaving him here in the locker room, but we're

00:00:22.860 going to talk about the latest polling on President Trump, if Americans believe he's fit for office

00:00:29.220 physically and mentally, if Americans believe he's done enough, if he's done what he said he was

00:00:35.320 going to do, if he kept up on his campaign promises. We also have some polling on what you know today

00:00:42.240 with what President Trump has done so far. Do you still support him? Or if you had to do it all over

00:00:46.780 again, would you vote for Kamala Harris? Some stunning numbers that you guys are going to want

00:00:51.240 to hang around for. We've also got some polling on immigration and what Americans are saying if

00:00:57.180 they believe that these migrants and these immigrants who are coming to America legally,

00:01:01.940 should they be assimilating to American cultural values, or do the American people believe that

00:01:07.280 they should be able to come to America and continue their, you know, traditional values back in their 0.99

00:01:13.540 home country? To me, it doesn't make any sense why you'd come to America if you just want to come here

00:01:17.480 and keep your same traditional values. You might as well just stay where you are.

00:01:22.680 We also have some polling on if President Trump, if the people believe President Trump

00:01:27.500 can relate to what the American people are dealing with on a daily basis. Drug prices, gas prices, food

00:01:34.640 prices. If you live here in New York, the street conditions, you have to live in New York to understand

00:01:42.680 those. Just a world of its own. Some of the streets here in New York are like third world streets.

00:01:48.320 We also have some polling from Rasmussen on Ukraine. The American people want to send more

00:01:54.140 money to Ukraine, and this comes as Congress is voting on giving another $800 million to Ukraine,

00:02:01.220 but still haven't voted on any stimulus checks for Americans as we've been hearing that the tariff

00:02:08.800 checks are coming. If you joined us yesterday on The Great America Show, we did a little expose on

00:02:13.940 Chuck Grassley because President Trump is not happy. He's not happy that Chuck Grassley has done

00:02:19.100 enough. He thinks he hasn't done enough with his blue slip policy on getting people through in his

00:02:25.160 nominations. Chuck Grassley is after responding to President Trump's criticisms over this blue slip

00:02:30.380 agreement that have been stonewalling the confirmation of President Trump's U.S. attorneys.

00:02:35.520 You may recall earlier in the week, President Trump went off on Republican Senate leaders,

00:02:40.080 including Chuck Grassley, for letting the Democrats stonewall his appointees because of the blue slip

00:02:44.740 tradition. The blue slip customs defers the judicial nominations to the home state senators. So

00:02:50.680 in New Jersey, you look at Lena Haber, who had to resign because both the Marxist Dems there would

00:02:56.600 never vote for her. Just how it is. During the roundtable event, President Trump blamed Grassley for

00:03:03.120 allowing the Democrats to stonewall and steamroll these nominees. He said all because of Senator Grassley 0.60

00:03:08.660 with his blue slip stuff, they will not let anyone go by. Democrats have violated this blue slip

00:03:14.400 provision on numerous occasions. Moments after that meeting, President Trump was caught on a hot mic,

00:03:19.860 not happy. So earlier this afternoon, Grassley responded to President Trump's criticism and said

00:03:26.240 his committee has processed more U.S. attorneys than the previous administration. Grassley also blamed

00:03:33.000 Trump aides and said they need to get on the ball with the paperwork and the background checks for

00:03:38.460 these nominees. He says, quote, the committee has been quickly and officially processing nominations.

00:03:44.920 After the morning meeting, we voted on 84 of the nominees, including the attorney generals,

00:03:49.160 the FBI director, six circuit judges, 24 district judges, and 36 United States attorneys. He says

00:03:56.280 they've advanced nominees as fast as their committee receives them, and they've confirmed more federal

00:04:01.020 judges at this point than President Trump did in his first administration.

00:04:04.200 Now, why would Grassley not allow the blue slip policy to go by the way? He's trying to get rid of it.

00:04:14.080 Now, Grassley also blamed DHS chief, Christine Noem, for declining to testify before the Senate Judiciary

00:04:19.860 Committee this month. He said, quote, on another matter, I'd like to discuss the committee's invitation to

00:04:25.600 Secretary Noem to appear before the oversight hearing. I invited Secretary Noem to testify on December 2nd,

00:04:30.960 and then on December 10th, she declined both invitations. DHS has failed to provide alternative dates.

00:04:38.600 During her confirmation process, Secretary Noem committed to appear before the committee when invited.

00:04:43.520 I expect better cooperation from the secretary early next year. Meanwhile, Grassley should be worried about

00:04:49.760 getting through President Trump's U.S. attorneys. Get rid of the blue slip policy.

00:04:54.760 Jump through and get off your ass and do your job. 0.99

00:04:56.720 You know, as soon as the Democrats take back over the Senate, they're getting rid of the filibuster policy. 1.00

00:05:02.520 Make no mistake about it. So you get rid of it now and you get rid of all this nonsense and these hurdles

00:05:07.340 and allow President Trump to do what he said he was going to do, because in just moments, you're going to hear

00:05:12.100 what the American people think if they think that President Trump is doing what he said he was going to do.

00:05:17.440 And it doesn't fall entirely on him. It falls on the senators, on the Senate majority leader.

00:05:24.440 Now, I thought Dune was a terrible pick when they put him forward.

00:05:28.140 I think someone like Rick Scott would have been far better to serve.

00:05:34.120 But how much time are they going to allow to go by

00:05:36.520 to not have U.S. attorneys in place in states

00:05:40.860 or have President Trump's nominees through?

00:05:43.400 So it seems like just a good old-fashioned dragging of the feet,

00:05:48.000 which we see time and time and time again by the rhinos.

00:05:53.380 If Grassley can't do his job, retire, resign, and let someone do the job who can, who's able to.

00:06:03.720 If John Thune doesn't want to push forward the America First agenda that the American people voted for

00:06:08.080 and he wants to sabotage President Trump and anyone who runs after President Trump, you've got to go.

00:06:14.120 And it's incumbent upon the Republican senators there who are America First.

00:06:20.400 If you can't do your job, resign. Very simple.

00:06:23.160 Folks, we're going to take a quick break here. We're fired up tonight.

00:06:30.260 On the other side of this break, we're going to be joined by Mark Mitchell of Rasmussen Reports

00:06:33.480 to take up all those polls on what the American people believe, what the American people think.

00:06:38.720 It's going to be a wake-up call from President Trump and the administration.

00:06:41.560 Make no mistake about it. Stand by.

00:06:43.900 We're going to be back in less than 60 seconds to take all of it up.

00:06:46.940 We're coming right back here on The Great America Show.

00:07:02.340 Give us a thumbs up.

00:07:03.160 I want to bring in our guest today.

00:07:04.400 It's been a little while since we've had him on.

00:07:05.880 He's been kind of busy getting the polls out for you.

00:07:09.260 Mark Mitchell, Rasmussen Reports.

00:07:11.240 Mark, always good to talk to you.

00:07:12.800 Delighted to have you back.

00:07:13.760 I'm sorry to disturb whatever you were just looking up, but let's get to President Trump's numbers.

00:07:22.680 Already you got jokes right out of the gate, John.

00:07:25.380 It's going to have to be an inside secret what I was just looking up.

00:07:29.800 Nothing illegal.

00:07:30.820 Nothing illegal.

00:07:33.000 I guess it depends what country you're in.

00:07:34.720 It could be illegal.

00:07:35.320 So President Trump's numbers today, as we sit here on December 11th, where is he at?

00:07:44.540 Is he still underwater?

00:07:45.700 I know you've been going back and forth.

00:07:47.300 That numbers have dipped below.

00:07:49.180 They've come up a little bit.

00:07:50.560 But I feel like we're in a weird place right now.

00:07:53.540 We certainly are.

00:07:54.580 I think we're at an inflection point.

00:07:56.220 Now, I don't even know if we've talked on air before my trip down to Washington, D.C., and even before or after the special elections.

00:08:04.160 But going into the beginning of November, the worst that Trump had done was a negative four net approval rating, which is not that terrible.

00:08:13.040 But you'd hope it'd be better since he got one of the biggest mandates for his agenda of any Republican president ever in recent history. 0.99

00:08:20.580 But then November was a complete crap show.

00:08:24.140 So, I mean, the government shutdown and then SNAP being defunded and then the elections were horrible because Republicans weren't able to convert the Trump voter from 2024. 0.95

00:08:34.140 And then Trump's all over the map fighting the press about affordability and counter signaling is based on things like H1Bs and the student visas.

00:08:41.560 And we've been polling on all that stuff.

00:08:43.060 And I was so openly hostile to the administration for not understanding their base.

00:08:48.940 Like, I was getting hundreds of DMs from people who were burning their MAGA hats and saying, I thought Trump was going to be our Franco.

00:08:55.300 And I guess he isn't.

00:08:56.580 And we're just going to have to all wait. 0.99

00:08:58.220 This country's screwed. 1.00

00:08:59.320 We're all going to die. 0.99

00:09:00.500 So people were a little bit histrionic.

00:09:03.400 And it was a mess.

00:09:05.080 And Trump's numbers certainly suffered over the last week.

00:09:09.920 It got down to a negative 12 approval rating net, which, again, Biden has done worse.

00:09:16.300 And Trump has also done worse.

00:09:17.980 But it was during the Russian collusion hoax.

00:09:20.140 And when Biden was at negative 12, there were people falling out of C-130s in Kabul, like basically is where we were at in Afghanistan.

00:09:30.220 So that's recovered.

00:09:31.720 He's back up to negative four.

00:09:33.220 And I went and gave him advice.

00:09:36.360 I think it's helped change the way that he has been messaging on the economy.

00:09:41.200 But I don't know if it's enough.

00:09:43.840 Democrats are plus three on the generic ballot.

00:09:46.720 The gerrymandering war of attrition continues on.

00:09:50.540 It's going to be everybody fighting for like one inch on the football field next year for the midterms.

00:09:57.420 And I have no idea who's going to win.

00:09:59.220 But the message that I've been saying is that, listen, you guys got elected for a reason and people want you to do more.

00:10:07.140 And if you fail, it's because you've not done enough.

00:10:09.820 And so Republicans and Trump need to get together and lay out what a real plan to fix America looks like.

00:10:14.960 I would have thought they would have had one coming into this administration. 0.86

00:10:18.780 But what I'm starting to find out is that it was kind of just like what Trump 1.0 was, which was chaotically just throw a bunch of crap at the wall and see what sticks.

00:10:28.420 But unfortunately, this time around, it seems like he's drawing a lot more guidance and input from the wrong people, like donors and foreign nations and Fox News hosts.

00:10:39.360 And he needs to get a little bit more input from younger people on the Internet, I think.

00:10:44.660 Yeah, I totally agree with you on that.

00:10:48.160 You know, people got upset when he had Elon Musk around him.

00:10:50.980 A little do we know Elon Musk.

00:10:52.780 He's an oligarch Elon Musk.

00:10:54.620 Not necessarily a bad thing.

00:10:56.180 It's just what he is, right?

00:10:57.540 Yeah, I love the hell out of him.

00:10:58.980 I think he did a terrific job and, you know, was unceremoniously pushed out because he thought he was going to be able to do more than he actually could.

00:11:06.400 He's like every person who goes into government, Mark, you know, you've luckily never had to work in government.

00:11:12.400 But any person who goes into government, you go with these big expectations and then you get in there and you realize the whole thing's just a melting pot.

00:11:18.320 And there's really very little wiggle room on where you can go left and right because everyone's just so corrupt and compromised.

00:11:25.640 You and I went down to D.C. together.

00:11:27.560 You saw exactly how it worked.

00:11:28.980 It's, you know, work two hours a day and dine out eight hours a day on the donor's dime.

00:11:34.540 It's just what it is.

00:11:35.780 Everyone's dream job should be to be a politician.

00:11:37.840 But you're right.

00:11:40.060 I think he is surrounded now by some of the worst people.

00:11:43.560 And it's the people, Mark, who hated him his entire career.

00:11:47.960 I mean, Mark Zuckerberg, the Valjeet from Google, whatever the heck his name is.

00:11:54.360 You know, all these different people who have hated his guts, who have now somehow wiggled their way in.

00:12:00.860 Tim Cook over at Apple, who have wiggled their way in now to be in his good graces.

00:12:05.860 And President Trump doesn't like to be hated.

00:12:07.800 So, you know, he's taking it all in.

00:12:10.060 And he's loving the fact that these people are kissing the ring and they're showing her respect.

00:12:13.980 But on the back end, Mark, behind closed doors, they're, I mean, doing everything they could to undermine America and our workers.

00:12:22.800 Yes, 100% yes to all that.

00:12:25.400 You forgot to mention Lindsey Graham.

00:12:26.980 But yeah, to 100% all of that.

00:12:29.520 By the way, I don't mean to cut you off.

00:12:31.460 But while everyone's getting outed for being gay, what's taking so long with Lindsey Graham?

00:12:38.540 I don't know.

00:12:39.600 I heard the ladybug story for the first time since we've talked.

00:12:43.980 And it's changed me.

00:12:46.820 Go on to what you're saying.

00:12:48.860 I apologize.

00:12:50.000 This is a family friendly show, I guess.

00:12:51.940 Like, we can't go into it.

00:12:53.520 But I forgot what I was saying.

00:12:57.940 You were talking about all the people compromised and Lindsey Graham is another one. 0.64

00:13:03.740 Yeah, like this is what.

00:13:05.660 Yeah, Brett Baer.

00:13:06.780 I mean, I said this to Trump.

00:13:07.960 He was Brett.

00:13:08.980 He was bragging about golfing with Lindsey Graham and how great Lindsey Graham's drive is.

00:13:13.980 And isn't it awesome about how much money Lindsey Graham can raise? 1.00

00:13:17.500 And I love golfing with Brett Baer.

00:13:19.340 And I said, sir, why would you golf with Brett Baer?

00:13:21.840 He's like, what are you talking about?

00:13:23.860 And I said, well, he stole your election, sir.

00:13:25.980 And most people who support you got rid of Fox News on November 3rd, 2020.

00:13:31.060 And he's like, yeah, that was really bad.

00:13:33.060 And then two weeks later, he's golfing with Brett Baer again.

00:13:35.920 Brett Baer is pumping his fist while Trump is sinking a putt.

00:13:38.580 It's like, what are we even doing here?

00:13:40.120 So I think you put your finger on it exactly, which is what America is objectively much worse off than it was 10 years ago.

00:13:48.340 And if you want to be a Trump fluffer, you could certainly cherry pick economic data and say, well, things aren't that bad.

00:13:54.120 But they really are because my death of the American dream polling wouldn't be off the charts bad if things weren't bad.

00:14:00.820 So the American dream is dead.

00:14:02.280 And Donald Trump knew that because he promised a golden age.

00:14:05.220 Now he's trying to do like a buy inflation gaslighting op to convince everybody we have a golden age.

00:14:10.900 It's not going to work.

00:14:11.800 And he hangs out with basically his golfing buddies all day.

00:14:15.440 And that's somebody, in my opinion, like you said, who wants to be loved and not be what I think we need, which is a wartime president.

00:14:22.500 We need a general patent that understands exactly who we're fighting, why and how and what the strategy is.

00:14:28.080 And the clock is ticking right now.

00:14:30.080 I mean, how many days left?

00:14:32.120 Days until midterms.

00:14:35.420 And it is, I mean, 326 days.

00:14:37.940 So whatever he does between now and then has to be enough to convince Americans that Republicans can govern, that Trump and Republicans together can govern.

00:14:47.720 And what are Republicans doing?

00:14:49.340 They're passing like resolutions against anti-Semitism in the House.

00:14:53.240 I want to say something because you didn't get to know Lou Dobbs.

00:14:57.220 I wish you did because you would have loved him and he would have absolutely adored you.

00:15:00.760 There's very few people that he liked and you would have known, knowing Lou, he would have loved you.

00:15:05.060 And I don't mean this, I don't even know how to say this, but Lou had an influence on President Trump his first four years like nobody else had.

00:15:16.160 And Lou never told anybody.

00:15:18.220 The only time it ever came out that Lou would advise or speak to President Trump would be someone on his staff leaking it because they hated the fact that President Trump watched Lou's show every single night.

00:15:29.000 And whatever we wrote on that show, you know, I had someone come here the other day telling me, you know, what the hell do you know?

00:15:34.980 You just took over Lou's show.

00:15:36.620 I mean, everything Lou read off a teleprompter, he'd written, read with me writing part of it or advising him on part of it.

00:15:44.260 So President Trump was watching the show every single night and Trump would watch it and he would tell his staff, and this has been reported, so it's not a secret, do whatever Lou Dobbs just said.

00:15:53.900 So the staff hated Lou, they hated anything about him, they tried to keep him away from it, but Lou never shied away, and I'd spent a lot of time with him.

00:16:03.360 When we were in the city, I'd spent eight, nine hours a day with him.

00:16:06.420 He never shied away from picking up the phone and saying, very respectfully, Mr. President, this is wrong, you have to do this, and Trump listened to him.

00:16:15.040 He had someone who had the best interests of his country and the best interests of President Trump, not the best interests of their pockets.

00:16:21.360 He never took a dime from anybody aside from whoever was paying him, Fox News or CNN at the time, and I think he's got that void because Lou Dobbs isn't picking up the phone and President Trump isn't tuning in every night to hear the cold, hard truth about things that necessarily aren't going good.

00:16:38.900 And Lou never shied away.

00:16:40.160 He was a good friend to President Trump, but he never shied away from telling him the truth, even if the truth hurt his feelings.

00:16:46.240 And I think we have that huge void right now.

00:16:48.020 Yeah, I'm not going to blow smoke up here, John.

00:16:52.360 I think you're 100% right.

00:16:53.740 I think this is, that was my biggest takeaway, which is like, what's really going on?

00:16:59.360 What's really going on down there?

00:17:00.820 Because everybody conjectures and nobody really knows.

00:17:03.900 And having felt the texture of what was happening in the White House, Donald Trump is still very much in charge.

00:17:11.160 He is not a puppet of anybody.

00:17:12.800 He is literally just shooting from the hip, and he does that based on information that he personally collects from the people he thinks are important.

00:17:21.000 And it's not Susie Wiles gatekeeping him.

00:17:23.380 She was actually helped get me down there.

00:17:25.480 She was one of the people who were like, hey, he needs to hear from new voices.

00:17:28.160 And what's happened is he was getting influence from people like you, younger people who understand the real state of America, filtered through Lou Dobbs, and he was getting people like Charlie Kirk, and they're gone now.

00:17:43.740 And so who is he listening to?

00:17:45.040 It's like Sean Hannity.

00:17:46.140 And he talks to that guy for hours, and it's like America and the state of where we're at right now is too important to be governed by people like Lindsey Graham and Sean Hannity.

00:17:57.100 They don't really understand, and they – maybe they – well, I don't think Lindsey does, but I'm sure Sean Hannity has the best interest of America at heart, but he doesn't buy groceries.

00:18:06.300 He hasn't tried to compete with Indians to get a job. 1.00

00:18:09.120 He literally has no idea.

00:18:10.860 I disagree with you on that, and I'll tell you why.

00:18:12.480 And it's very few times I actually disagree with you.

00:18:14.260 If Sean Hannity had the best interest of America, he wouldn't have Lindsey Graham on his show every night. 0.87

00:18:19.560 He knows damn well Lindsey Graham is not good for America. 1.00

00:18:22.480 And the difference is, Mark, and I don't mean to blow smoke up anyone's ass, is Lou Dobbs was one person I knew for a fact never benefited or gained a dollar off of President Trump or anything that he did. 0.96

00:18:38.220 And as a matter of fact, the stuff that Lou was putting out and spewing – I don't even say spewing, but the stuff that Lou was putting out, it actually hurt him.

00:18:46.820 If Lou – and Lou told me there was times along his career, Mark, where he'd gotten contacted by foreign countries.

00:18:51.820 One of them he told me was China.

00:18:53.020 That if he just let off the gas on China in the back in the early 2000s, that he would have benefited very well with large sums of money.

00:19:02.980 And Lou Dobbs told him, go after yourself.

00:19:05.560 I don't care about your money.

00:19:06.780 I don't want your money.

00:19:08.140 And you know what?

00:19:08.980 People don't know this, but for the first year and a half that we did this show, Lou didn't take a dime.

00:19:14.840 Not a dime from sponsors.

00:19:16.420 Not a dime from anybody funding him.

00:19:18.420 He funded this show by himself.

00:19:20.000 He funded a merchandise operation by himself that was run by me, which he paid me to do.

00:19:25.220 He paid me out of pocket.

00:19:26.620 He paid his other producers out of pocket to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars a year out of his own pocket to not take money because he felt at the beginning, because he was so new to the podcasting space, that it wasn't right.

00:19:38.680 He didn't want to come out here and push sponsorships on people.

00:19:41.500 He didn't want to come out here and sell things because all he wanted to do was push the word forward of America first.

00:19:46.960 Whereas these other guys, Mark, I mean, they run to go. 0.97

00:19:49.980 Take money from whatever foreign countries given them, whatever scumbag is giving of them just to take the money. 0.72

00:19:55.460 And, you know, it pains me because the only thing I knew coming into this industry was Lou Dobbs. 0.97

00:20:00.160 And it kind of hurts me because the level of ethics that this man had, you don't see anymore.

00:20:06.780 So, like, I look at things now and I'm like, that's wrong.

00:20:08.880 That's wrong.

00:20:09.380 That's wrong.

00:20:09.780 And I'm like, God, maybe working for Lou hurt me because he was too ethical.

00:20:14.720 I told him at least.

00:20:16.060 And we don't have that anymore, Mark.

00:20:17.800 It's terrible.

00:20:19.120 That's why I'm where I'm at for sure.

00:20:21.820 A hundred percent.

00:20:22.860 It's like we are industry pariahs and it's because I can't be bought.

00:20:26.020 And that's this is my biggest wake up call for the industry.

00:20:30.620 Again, people outside looking in, I think, are getting a much better glimpse into what is really going on, mostly because of Twitter.

00:20:37.240 And every single thing I've experienced tells me that it is as bad as I thought it was.

00:20:43.040 In fact, worse in some ways, these people are like cartoon caricatures of selling out in a way that is even more profoundly debased than you could possibly think.

00:20:54.660 You look at somebody, for instance, like Ted Cruz and the way he behaves and the interests that he peddles and take your pick.

00:21:01.880 And you're probably right.

00:21:03.400 Don't know what it is.

00:21:04.180 I don't know if it's the blackmail or the honeypots or the purchase, but every single one of them, I think it's pretty much the same way.

00:21:11.400 And there is so little integrity in the business that it's the people deserve better. 0.90

00:21:17.940 It's disgusting.

00:21:19.080 Ted Cruz is the most and I used to love Ted Cruz. 0.70

00:21:21.700 I used to think he was the smartest man in the Senate.

00:21:23.720 I supported him for president in 2016 before President Trump won the nomination. 0.96

00:21:27.960 And Lou used to give me crap about all the time.

00:21:29.940 He used to we'd be at Trump and he would tell him, you know, John, you know, he supported. 0.97

00:21:33.640 He supported Ted and, you know, it is what it is.

00:21:36.580 And, you know, it was just funny.

00:21:39.540 And to see what he's turned into, I mean, and I've heard stories of people, very prominent people down in Houston, Texas, Texas.

00:21:47.420 I don't know if it's confirmed or not, but about infidelity.

00:21:50.360 So I don't I don't know.

00:21:51.700 But I've been told from very reliable sources down there, people in the in the know, like I said, I haven't confirmed him on my own.

00:21:59.920 But that man has taken a turn.

00:22:02.100 He's put on about 100 pounds.

00:22:03.480 And, you know, I don't talk about I'm not exactly skinny myself, but it's put on about 100 pounds.

00:22:09.080 He's got this beard thing now going on.

00:22:11.180 And he is a total shill for Israel, which is like, OK, you can support Israel. 0.65

00:22:17.720 That's great.

00:22:18.500 I'm all for it.

00:22:19.500 But you're a U.S. senator, dude.

00:22:21.280 And you wake up every morning and you post about Tucker Carlson and Israel. 0.99

00:22:25.500 You have some sort of mental derangement syndrome.

00:22:28.000 Now, I don't know if he's doing that because he thinks Tucker's running for president and that's going to be his number one competitor.

00:22:33.000 But it's not.

00:22:33.520 And if he runs for president, it's going to be J.D. Vance.

00:22:35.280 I don't know what his obsession with Tucker Carlson is, and hopefully we get to see Tucker at AmFest next week, because I want to figure out what the hell is going on with Ted Cruz.

00:22:47.160 Demand is having a meltdown and it happens every single day.

00:22:51.940 Well, I think we can probably conjecture about what that is.

00:22:54.620 And it's because I think Ted Cruz is smart enough politically to understand that he's going to absolutely get blown out of the water and that if he thinks at all he'll ever be president.

00:23:05.280 It's through some miraculous stroke of good luck for him.

00:23:08.680 Right.

00:23:09.360 And so he's going to run this.

00:23:11.280 He's going to run in this what will be a clown car primary.

00:23:14.360 It'll be a circling circular firing squad of a bunch of Republican special interests. 0.98

00:23:19.100 You're going to have the big ag guy.

00:23:20.540 That'll be Mike Pence.

00:23:21.500 You're going to have the military industrial complex person.

00:23:23.980 I don't know who that'll be.

00:23:24.880 It was Nikki Haley last time.

00:23:26.220 Right.

00:23:26.440 Like you're just going to have everybody's special interest.

00:23:28.800 And what happens is the presidential candidate gets money.

00:23:32.400 They get all that like donor bucks ciphered back to them and they're, you know, the people under them and it keeps the interest in the news.

00:23:42.760 And so I think what he's doing is what is the best thing that Israel's decided needs to be in the news right now is attacking Tucker Carlson.

00:23:51.320 And so he's just doing their dirty work.

00:23:53.940 And, you know, it's just wild how they're, they're not stopping, even though they destroyed the public opinion on Israel. 0.56

00:24:00.800 But I can tell you, it's not working on Tucker Carlson.

00:24:03.360 I don't know if you knew this, but we pulled on him and, you know, the left hates him and his numbers have slipped with Republicans, certainly since when he was fired from Fox.

00:24:14.400 But he's still 60% favorable among Republicans to only 22% unfavorable, only 11% very unfavorable.

00:24:22.360 So it's not really working like he is very popular among Republicans.

00:24:25.860 So you look at the Texas Senate situation and you got John Cornyn and you got Ted Cruz and the races have been tight.

00:24:33.360 Like Texas did pretty well in 2024 for Trump, whatever it was, it was like plus 10 or something.

00:24:37.940 Right.

00:24:38.960 But we all know that Trump's not going to be on the ballot again.

00:24:41.820 We all know that Texas is a hell of a lot less, you know, less good for Republicans when Trump's not there.

00:24:47.780 And all of a sudden you got Jasmine Crockett redistricted out.

00:24:52.640 He's a hot commodity among Democrats right now.

00:24:56.020 And maybe she's going to run this time against John Cornyn, or maybe she holds out and runs against Ted Cruz when he's up in 2030.

00:25:03.580 And I don't know if he wins that, if he's going to be talking about Israel and fricking Tucker Carlson for the next five years.

00:25:10.020 Is that a single issue?

00:25:12.280 Yeah.

00:25:13.220 Go ahead.

00:25:13.680 What were you saying?

00:25:14.680 No, I mean, is that going to be his single issue?

00:25:16.840 A lot of people have made that their single issue.

00:25:19.340 You look at the Huckabees too.

00:25:21.060 I didn't know this, but apparently like that was the only ad that Sarah Huckabee Sanders cut in her run for Arkansas governor was about how her trip to the Wailing Wall transformed her politics. 1.00

00:25:32.420 And now you have Mike Huckabee out there today leading report.

00:25:36.240 No, nothing to see here, folks.

00:25:38.980 Epstein was totally not at all about a foreign government running compromise on people.

00:25:43.200 No, no, no.

00:26:13.180 But I mean, we look at what they did in 9-11 and how much business we've done with them to the tune of like $500 billion over the course of the last 10 years.

00:26:24.600 So you hear them talking about this and they're taking money from Saudi Arabia and you're taking money from here.

00:26:31.740 And that's the only country they're focused on.

00:26:33.460 They don't care about anywhere else.

00:26:35.080 I don't know what the obsession with Qatar is.

00:26:37.240 I've tried to figure it out.

00:26:38.240 I can't figure it out.

00:26:39.920 There could be bigger obsessions with people taking money from other countries, which I won't say their names, than from Qatar.

00:26:46.600 What is that whole obsession?

00:26:48.440 I know.

00:26:49.260 I'll tell you right now.

00:26:50.540 I know 100%.

00:26:51.520 And don't let me forget, John, I got in a Twitter fight with Mark Levin and I ratioed him eight times, just so you know.

00:26:57.040 With 40X fewer followers, I ratioed Mark Levin eight times.

00:27:01.860 But anyways, here's the situation with Qatar.

00:27:04.480 So a certain government in the Middle East pays a lot of money to the United States to influence electoral politics.

00:27:14.040 That just happens.

00:27:14.840 It's a fact.

00:27:16.020 And they like to deflect.

00:27:17.900 And so there are other governments that also influence the United States.

00:27:21.740 Qatar 100% spends money here to influence people.

00:27:25.580 I've heard of people getting the checks from Qatar.

00:27:27.560 I've heard of people getting the checks from Israel.

00:27:29.360 It actually freaking happens.

00:27:31.480 And the only thing that's different, in my opinion, about Qatar is one that it's a Muslim state. 0.61

00:27:37.560 And so it creates a nice, you know, opponent, a nice foil to the Israeli influence. 0.99

00:27:43.680 And that there are all Muslims are terrorists. 1.00

00:27:46.620 I got it. 1.00

00:27:47.180 Yeah, exactly.

00:27:48.160 That's exactly it.

00:27:49.600 And there is a statistic floating around that Qatar leads the Middle East countries and how much that they've spent in higher education.

00:27:58.940 And over the years, it's $6 billion.

00:28:02.220 And that's a very disingenuous number because we're talking about four decades that Qatar has spent $6 billion.

00:28:08.480 And what that's done is about two-thirds of that has gone to just set up satellite colleges in Qatar.

00:28:15.120 It's like, hey, Colombia is coming down to Qatar to train these people.

00:28:18.940 And so that's not really foreign influence.

00:28:21.020 I mean, I guess it is a little bit, but nothing to the tune of what like APAC and all of the other private individuals who have donated.

00:28:27.580 And then here's the other thing that Qatar is different, is that this is a backhand swipe at MAGA and the Trump movement.

00:28:34.880 This is one of the establishment's ways that it reasserts itself against this new wave of republicanism that they hate.

00:28:41.300 And that's because Donald Trump has been a little bit cozy with Qatar.

00:28:45.720 And so obviously they're going to go after this because it's a subversive way to attack him.

00:28:49.840 But he's getting attacked from his own people, like Laura Loomers, where's, you know, she's Donald Trump's biggest fan.

00:28:57.480 I was trying to find this thing on Twitter because I got into a little argument with someone the other day.

00:29:01.460 A2 Brute?

00:29:03.080 No, who the hell it was?

00:29:04.980 It was a guy who pretty much said like, oh, APAC's only spent this much money in America compared to all these other countries.

00:29:10.580 And what he did was he took what the country spent over 10 years and compared to what APAC spent the last year.

00:29:17.080 You mentioned the satellite colleges, which is kind of funny.

00:29:21.500 No mention of India, right?

00:29:24.020 Talking about satellite colleges, which we're going to talk about.

00:29:26.280 Here we go.

00:29:26.560 I found this post because I want to bring it up to the audience.

00:29:31.040 And, you know, I did use a little bit of language I probably shouldn't have.

00:29:34.580 But you know what?

00:29:36.160 We're all sinners, right?

00:29:37.280 So I apologize.

00:29:38.200 Hey, it's your show.

00:29:38.900 I apologize, man.

00:29:40.400 The people don't like when I use profanity, and I shouldn't be.

00:29:42.920 And I promise in the new year I'm going to try to work on it.

00:29:45.820 I've been trying to work on it for 30 years, Mark.

00:29:48.160 It's bad.

00:29:49.200 So this guy, Eyal Yaboki, whatever his name is, that's right.

00:29:52.500 Oh, yeah.

00:29:53.400 APAC spent $100 million lobbying the U.S. government.

00:29:57.320 That same year, China spent $460 million.

00:29:59.840 Japan spent $410 million.

00:30:01.320 Pharma spent $387 million.

00:30:02.760 Saudi spent $310 million.

00:30:04.360 $256 million from Qatar.

00:30:05.340 Unlike those lobbyists, APAC is entirely funded by Americans who uniquely support the U.S.-Israel alliance.

00:30:13.760 So I said, laughing my ass off. 1.00

00:30:15.220 This guy's full of shit. 1.00

00:30:16.480 Grok, please correct the lies from this dirtbag. 1.00

00:30:20.080 And Grok, in true fashion, comes to the rescue.

00:30:23.740 Grok says, the original post mixes lobbying and election spending.

00:30:28.200 Per Open Secrets, APAC's 2024 lobbying was $3.3 million, but PAC's meant over $100 million on elections.

00:30:35.080 Pharma lobbied $391 million in 2024, lobby, go on and so forth.

00:30:41.080 And then I go on and say, these were the numbers over the course of, since, here, human lives since 2016.

00:30:49.080 Unbelievable.

00:30:50.340 So this guy's sitting there lying. 1.00

00:30:51.700 So then I replied back to Grok, ah, so just as I said, this guy's a scumbag liar. 0.99

00:30:57.040 He added up those countries for the last 10 years and tried to compare it for APAC for just the last election cycle. 0.99

00:31:02.860 Thank you, Grok, for your, you're the best for exposing your lies.

00:31:06.680 And Grok is so, so, boy, glad to assist.

00:31:09.680 Yes, the party lobbying figures cited or accumulated since 2016 for Open Secrets.

00:31:14.240 So it's just mostly deception and lies from people who try to paint the narrative.

00:31:21.080 If you're going to paint the narrative, just be honest about it.

00:31:25.260 That's all we're asking.

00:31:26.560 Don't lie.

00:31:28.500 Yeah, that guy is one of the most deceptive people on Twitter.

00:31:31.900 It's really insidious, the stuff I've seen.

00:31:35.860 So let's talk about some of these numbers that you have.

00:31:40.780 And you talk a lot about India, and I think you get yourself in trouble with it, and you're particularly not fond of it.

00:31:46.740 From personal PTSD and personal experiences that you've had, you've got guys like, I just saw a poll, Mark, before we jumped on here.

00:31:54.980 Vivek Ramaswamy, who's Mr. H-1B himself, and no racial thing to it.

00:32:00.460 This is a man who's come out and said, Americans are lazy. 0.87

00:32:03.020 We need more Indians here.

00:32:04.340 A poll from Emerson has him down to a Democrat in the non-swing state of Ohio, whereas Sherrod Brown, the Senate candidate, is down against the Republicans.

00:32:19.900 It's guys like you, Mark, who are moving the needles to expose guys like Vivek Ramaswamy.

00:32:25.580 I'm sorry.

00:32:26.180 You can't be running for public office. 0.79

00:32:27.820 You shouldn't be in public office out here saying that Americans are lazy and that we need more Indians here. 1.00

00:32:33.680 I don't know what country that works in, but it's not going to work here in a country where you have Americans who love this damn country and bust their ass for every dollar they make. 1.00

00:32:43.860 Yeah, you know, it was kind of gross, too. 0.99

00:32:45.620 I don't know if you remember the Ramaswamy massacre of last December.

00:32:49.400 We're coming up on the one-year anniversary.

00:32:51.980 I think it was December 24th.

00:32:54.120 It was a very big day on Twitter.

00:32:55.500 Elon Musk came out there and told everybody to F their faces, and it was a mess.

00:33:00.860 But if you recall, the most insidious thing about the Vivek Ramaswamy post is that it was a response to a pretty heartfelt, beautiful picture of a high school football quarterback kissing the head of the cheerleaders on a football field.

00:33:17.600 Very nostalgic picture.

00:33:19.220 Basically pure Americana.

00:33:21.360 And that's what he was responding to and attacking.

00:33:23.340 He was saying that our culture worships the wrong thing.

00:33:27.200 So here you have somebody who, again, I don't know if he was actually an immigrant or if he was born here.

00:33:32.440 He's obviously naturalized, right?

00:33:34.340 But he is attacking the American culture and saying that we don't work hard enough.

00:33:40.060 And here's the complex thing about H-1Bs is that Americans actually do like immigration.

00:33:45.240 You know, this whole huddled mass thing was a psychological operation that has cut really deep into the American psyche.

00:33:51.540 And they also actually support the H-1B program.

00:33:54.220 And most people in Washington, D.C. would stop there.

00:33:57.440 But we didn't stop because then Americans say, well, yeah, obviously, corporations are abusing these programs by a 10-point margin.

00:34:05.140 And obviously, we hate corporations.

00:34:07.140 They have too much power.

00:34:08.280 We have to go after them.

00:34:09.800 And obviously, it's more about just the economy.

00:34:12.640 It's about jobs.

00:34:13.440 And then back to the death of our American dream numbers.

00:34:16.660 And so Americans have had their futures stolen from them by this corrupt corporate oligarchy.

00:34:23.360 And he's, you know what, he's a pharma billionaire.

00:34:25.720 He is part of the oligarchy.

00:34:27.480 And if you're going to run a governor in the Rust Belt, these people's jobs have been stolen.

00:34:32.660 And I've been hammering the H-1B program on one of the few people.

00:34:35.600 I mean, obviously, a lot of people have been hammering it, but in politics, this is one of those things that the Republican big business people all want to protect because this is where they get their profits from.

00:34:47.040 They screw the American people so that they can pad their pockets. 0.91

00:34:51.420 And even if you look at, like, Vance has been one of the leaders in reducing the number of immigrants here in America, but he hasn't actually come really vocally out against this.

00:35:02.240 And we do even have Project Firewall.

00:35:04.320 Like, the Department of Labor, Department of Justice is going after this kind of nepotistic hiring and diversity abuse.

00:35:12.460 But the leaders can't even come out and find their way to attacking this H-1B program because I think the border is a problem.

00:35:20.460 I hate illegal immigration.

00:35:21.940 I think that we should close the border and brutally deport everybody because it violates the rule of law. 0.65

00:35:28.080 It brings drugs here. 0.98

00:35:29.080 It brings violent Venezuelans here. 1.00

00:35:30.880 But if you're worried about increasing American wages and restoring the middle class, you have to be focused on getting rid of the high salaried people. 1.00

00:35:40.560 And that is all of the corporations that have given the best jobs in America to H-1Bs. 1.00

00:35:45.800 And so you know what?

00:35:46.600 If Elon Musk is going to die on this hill, I'm going to die on this hill too. 0.99

00:35:50.520 My career was screwed over by these people. 0.99

00:35:52.900 They gloat about it. 1.00

00:35:54.280 They are Indian supremacists. 0.99

00:35:56.280 That's a much bigger problem than white supremacy. 0.99

00:35:58.660 And you know what?

00:35:59.480 If I'm going to be on the front page of India today calling for a massive remigration of Indian workers, then guess what?

00:36:07.780 Like, that's what's going to happen.

00:36:09.880 You know, as this comes, we've got obviously the problem with the Indian visas and your remigration issue.

00:36:17.660 We've got the issue happening over in your voice, John, to come to say hi.

00:36:23.780 I love that dog.

00:36:25.420 That dog ever goes missing.

00:36:26.760 It's going to be me.

00:36:27.420 Who's the culprit of solar?

00:36:28.920 I love that dog.

00:36:30.040 Oh, my.

00:36:30.480 She's been running going outside a night and getting in a fight with foxes. 0.73

00:36:33.060 So one of these nights, she's just nothing to come back.

00:36:35.300 Oh, no.

00:36:36.100 Give it to me before she works too late. 0.98

00:36:38.920 I'll take care.

00:36:39.540 I love that dog.

00:36:40.280 With all of this, Mark, comes the issue.

00:36:44.660 By the way, I don't know if you ever heard, but they were eating the cats and dogs over in Springfield just a few months ago.

00:36:50.680 Yeah, they're eating the cats.

00:36:51.580 My kids still listen to that.

00:36:53.540 That's one of the funniest things he's ever said.

00:36:56.420 You have the issue of the Somalians over in Minnesota.

00:36:59.520 And, you know, I saw somebody post something on Twitter the other day, and I'm like, you know, I don't know why.

00:37:03.040 I didn't think of that.

00:37:03.940 If they've got this much money in fraud going on, in money fraud, how much voter fraud can possibly be going on over in Minnesota?

00:37:15.420 One of your new polls that you've got out, you've got some new numbers for me on immigration and assimilation and what Americans think.

00:37:22.500 Because these people come here, Mark, and they think that they're going to create their communities back in.

00:37:28.320 You look at Somalia, and President Trump is right. 1.00

00:37:31.400 It's not a country.

00:37:32.820 They have no government.

00:37:33.640 They have no military.

00:37:34.520 They have absolutely nothing, and they just kill each other.

00:37:37.340 It's not a government.

00:37:38.320 That's not Donald Trump being insensitive.

00:37:40.020 That's not Donald Trump being racist.

00:37:42.020 It's what it is.

00:37:43.360 They think they're going to come to this country and recreate their countries. 0.99

00:37:46.840 And I did a whole episode, Mark, on this.

00:37:48.860 I spewed for about 30 minutes, and I probably picked up a lot of fans and a lot of enemies at the same time. 0.98

00:37:54.100 It drives me nuts seeing people come to this country and wave their flags and all this bullshit, 0.98

00:37:59.800 their independence and their country and how they gained independence. 0.99

00:38:03.840 If your country was so good, why'd you pack up and come to America?

00:38:07.260 You're sitting here.

00:38:07.800 You're waving your flags.

00:38:08.760 You're like, why'd you come to America?

00:38:11.500 It's so simple.

00:38:12.400 But these people come here, and they think they're going to recreate their communities that they had back home,

00:38:16.720 living in dirt huts here in America, and it's not going to happen.

00:38:20.200 And your new polling shows exactly what I'm saying, correct?

00:38:24.560 Yeah, and we're starting to get into obvious territory, which I guess is actually the good thing,

00:38:30.460 because I feel like 10 or 20 years ago when we talked about politics,

00:38:35.760 we were talking about really wonky policy stuff, and we were talking about, no, people think this.

00:38:40.940 No, people think that.

00:38:41.900 No, how will we convince America? 0.99

00:38:44.160 And America is like, screw you. 0.99

00:38:46.120 Get these people out of here. 0.98

00:38:47.120 So how important is it that immigrants from foreign countries assimilate to American culture?

00:38:52.820 46% very important, 31% somewhat important.

00:38:56.820 So that's a combined total of 77%.

00:38:59.740 Only 4% say not at all important.

00:39:02.240 And this fits in with all of our other polling.

00:39:04.460 Mass deportations is very popular. 0.81

00:39:06.940 People want a lower level of legal immigration.

00:39:10.160 And even we have, by a 5-to-1 margin, Trump voters say that immigrants are more likely to assimilate

00:39:16.000 if the number of immigrants is reduced.

00:39:18.800 So this is really obvious stuff, but I love it.

00:39:21.260 And what we hadn't talked about, but you watched some of, and I watched too,

00:39:26.020 was this Nick Fuentes-Piers Morgan interview, which I don't know if you want to get into or not.

00:39:31.660 But what I thought was the most important part is that the youth are going after the ists and isms really, really, really hard. 1.00

00:39:39.780 And that's the set of boomer values that is dying very rapidly in America.

00:39:44.680 And one of them is the poor huddled masses.

00:39:48.040 The writing is on the wall.

00:39:49.780 If Republicans don't lean into this, then the pendulum will swing back.

00:39:53.460 And then when it swings back again, we're going to see a much, much, much harder right movement.

00:39:57.580 We're going to see people much more hostile to immigrants in this country and a lot less accepting

00:40:02.560 to the kinds of open fraud and abuse that we've been seeing.

00:40:06.480 America wants drastic order.

00:40:07.820 And even the most independent, non-ideological people that I follow on YouTube, like the influencers,

00:40:15.060 when they see stuff like this Minnesota thing, they're like, what the hell are the Republicans doing?

00:40:19.920 Why isn't Tim Waltz swinging from a gibbet?

00:40:22.280 Like, why haven't we thrown Ilhan Omar over the wall already? 0.99

00:40:25.940 And here's the part that is really bad.

00:40:31.680 Why is Trump still posting all these long boomer rants on Truth Social and not doing anything?

00:40:37.880 And so if that doesn't change fast, we're going to get into laughingstock territory here

00:40:42.840 because raging impotently when you control the government and everybody's getting away

00:40:47.560 with infinity everything, that's bad.

00:40:50.740 We were supposed to drain the swamp and it's not being done right now.

00:40:53.980 And also from your new polling, the people who are upset, and this is a dangerous number

00:40:59.080 and it's a dangerous category, but the people who are most upset are the future of America,

00:41:04.060 the 18 to 29s.

00:41:05.980 49% say President Trump has not done enough after promising what he was going to do

00:41:12.240 when he ran for election.

00:41:14.520 That's not good.

00:41:15.480 But this is exactly what I'm saying. 0.98

00:41:20.000 They don't give a crap about conservatism. 0.98

00:41:22.860 That's an ism. 0.99

00:41:23.420 They don't care at all.

00:41:25.800 All they want is for Trump to actually just do what he said he was going to do.

00:41:29.760 And we have to be very clear-eyed about the fact that the Trump we're seeing right now

00:41:33.840 is not the same Trump that we saw 14 months ago.

00:41:37.220 We went from a Trump who was literally in the McDonald's window giving people fries

00:41:43.940 to a Donald Trump where by 13 points, people say that, no, Trump doesn't understand the

00:41:49.760 problems I deal with on a daily basis.

00:41:52.240 That's really bad.

00:41:53.700 And then Trump has a 13-point disadvantage on understands the problems I deal with on a

00:42:02.360 daily basis, not where you'd want to be.

00:42:05.000 It was like 40 to 53 or something like that.

00:42:08.020 But then which is closer to your opinion that Trump has done too much of what he promised

00:42:12.300 or not enough of what he promised?

00:42:14.700 And so this is the thing.

00:42:16.000 These under 30 voters, you and I both know they're actually kind of socialist.

00:42:20.440 They don't care about conservatism at all.

00:42:22.620 And what they're saying here is that we don't support Trump now because he didn't do what

00:42:26.480 he said he was going to do.

00:42:28.160 They're like just they're like the Sheila Booth meme.

00:42:31.220 They're like, just just do it.

00:42:33.580 Just just arrest these people, like throw the billionaires out of the White House on 0.99

00:42:39.960 their butts and arrest people. 0.91

00:42:42.140 And I told this to Trump to his face and it's not happening. 0.71

00:42:45.500 He's jangling the keys again.

00:42:47.100 He's given them, you know, red meat.

00:42:48.860 And this is the part that I think is really dangerous, John, is that he keeps moving the

00:42:53.500 Overton window right.

00:42:55.100 The State Department came out in defense of Western culture in Europe and has been signaling

00:43:00.860 abandoning, abandoning NATO.

00:43:02.600 He's talking about repealing Hart Seller.

00:43:05.460 You and I both know that there is no Congress on Earth that is going to repeal Hart Seller.

00:43:09.920 So what happens when you keep dragging the movement farther and farther right and then letting

00:43:14.580 them down harder and harder? 0.64

00:43:16.540 Yep.

00:43:16.720 You know what?

00:43:17.100 It's better to not.

00:43:18.240 And I mean, me, I guess, is millennial.

00:43:21.460 Never did I think millennials would be looked upon now as some of the better group of people

00:43:25.240 when you've got Gen Zers and Zoomers and stuff.

00:43:27.640 But no, and that's my biggest pet peeve is people who lie.

00:43:32.480 I'd rather you not tell me you're going to do it and not do it than you tell me you're

00:43:35.620 going to do it and not do it.

00:43:36.440 Because at that point, you lied and you didn't keep your word.

00:43:38.900 And Rude Dobbs used to always say to me, say what you mean and mean what you say and

00:43:43.160 be a man of your word.

00:43:44.500 And I mean, it's something that always stuck with me because he would say it to me all the time.

00:43:48.320 Not that I wasn't a man of my word, but I think he tried to instill it into me and it

00:43:52.220 stuck with me every single day.

00:43:54.560 You piss more people off when you say you're going to do something and you don't do it

00:43:57.660 because you create a false sense of hope and a false sense of expectation.

00:44:02.380 Going off some of these numbers, Mark, knowing what you know now about each of the candidates

00:44:07.620 looking back, this is another number that frightens me a little bit.

00:44:12.300 If the election were today and you know what you know now from the last 11 months that

00:44:16.240 President Trump was president or whatever many months it's been, who would you vote

00:44:19.720 for?

00:44:20.040 What's the numbers?

00:44:22.660 So this one's interesting and it's actually better than for Trump than I thought.

00:44:28.080 We have to acknowledge that Democrats are plus three on the generic ballot, which is

00:44:31.480 six points better for them than they were doing a year ago.

00:44:34.920 And Trump was also negative 12 net approval when this poll was taken, but Trump loses by

00:44:42.040 one point.

00:44:43.140 So he's given up a couple of points of support.

00:44:45.840 Kamala Harris, if the election were held today, Kamala Harris would win by a point nationally, 0.92

00:44:50.100 which means that Donald Trump could technically probably still eke it out in the battlegrounds.

00:44:54.760 This is night and day different than the situation in 2021, where in just 10 short months,

00:45:00.740 Americans had a complete buyer's remorse on Joe Biden going from literally plus six polling

00:45:07.800 nationally for Biden to plus 10, a 16 point collapse.

00:45:13.240 And so Donald Trump has built a very solid base of support.

00:45:16.460 But this is, again, all about the fact that he's never going to be on the ballot again.

00:45:20.380 And in 326 short days, we could be looking at the 120th Congress that's going to literally

00:45:26.380 arrest and impeach everybody.

00:45:30.740 Yeah, I just want to go.

00:45:35.000 I saw that the Democrats actually knocked down Al Green, who we saw in the hallways of

00:45:40.100 Congress, not looking too well, knocked down their impeachment of President Trump with

00:45:46.740 nearly two dozen Democrats joining the House GOP to quash it.

00:45:50.320 So promising sign that not all the Marxist Dems are completely bad.

00:45:55.100 Most of them are smart enough.

00:45:57.280 No, it doesn't help him now.

00:45:58.800 Yeah, exactly.

00:45:59.260 Yeah, exactly.

00:46:00.300 For sure.

00:46:00.840 What you're going to see is Republicans joining with Democrats to impeach Donald Trump.

00:46:05.600 We've already seen.

00:46:06.400 They're going to come up with some fake hoax already.

00:46:08.640 John, think about what we're looking at now.

00:46:10.680 We're looking at the Republican Senate Armed Services Committee, the Republican Senate Oversight

00:46:17.300 Committee.

00:46:17.600 Aren't they convening an investigation into Pete Hegseth for freaking blowing up narco terrorists 1.00

00:46:23.820 when they haven't investigated Epstein?

00:46:25.820 They haven't investigated January 6th.

00:46:27.880 They haven't investigated the laptop from hell.

00:46:29.780 They haven't investigated Act Blue.

00:46:31.120 They have.

00:46:31.460 I could go on for 10 minutes and just list the things they haven't investigated.

00:46:34.940 And you know what?

00:46:35.740 I didn't talk to you about this, John.

00:46:37.560 With Donald Trump having a negative 12 approval rating, you know what's got a plus 25, I think

00:46:46.020 it is.

00:46:46.360 Let me look.

00:46:46.880 Let me find exactly what approval rating this is.

00:46:50.620 By the way, while you're talking about investigations, Rand Paul's been one crying.

00:46:53.880 I've been going after him every night.

00:46:54.960 Where's his investigation of Anthony Fauci?

00:46:58.440 He's been telling anybody.

00:47:01.940 Yeah, Fauci.

00:47:03.060 Oh, he's fine.

00:47:03.900 Trump's getting vaccines, John.

00:47:06.160 It's all fine, man.

00:47:07.780 All these Republicans are supported by pharma.

00:47:11.960 They're not going to go after.

00:47:13.120 You know, we have pharma literally saying that they killed children and part of their vaccine.

00:47:19.380 You know, where is this?

00:47:21.320 I really want to find this number so I know exactly what it is.

00:47:24.220 And I can't find this number regard to.

00:47:27.600 Oh, you just got to wait and see it, man.

00:47:29.480 Keep talking.

00:47:30.360 Keep talking.

00:47:31.760 No, but, you know, it blows my mind.

00:47:33.800 You've got guys and I go after them every night, like Rand Paul and Thomas Massey, who

00:47:37.800 are just abhorrent.

00:47:39.140 They're up in arms that Donald Trump is killing terrorists that yesterday when they took that

00:47:43.800 Venezuelan tanker, I was crying laughing because you had Chuck Schumer who came out and said, 0.59

00:47:50.940 I'm going into that meeting and I'm demanding from Pete Hanks that he tell me what the hell

00:47:56.160 is going on.

00:47:56.900 And then Schumer comes storming out like 10 minutes later.

00:47:59.680 He wouldn't tell me what's going on. 0.99

00:48:02.700 And you've got guys like Rand Paul and Thomas Massey who support that crap. 0.99

00:48:07.700 And you're like, this is the Republican Party. 0.99

00:48:10.660 There's no unity whatsoever.

00:48:13.620 Here, I got it.

00:48:14.480 Plus 18.

00:48:15.840 So when in a poll where Donald Trump was negative 12.

00:48:20.320 Blowing up narco boats is plus 18. 1.00

00:48:23.120 Wow.

00:48:24.100 So literally wasting narco terrorists is significantly more popular than Trump. 0.89

00:48:30.320 So like, what the hell are we even doing? 0.92

00:48:32.420 The young people are like, of course, we should be blowing these people up. 1.00

00:48:35.880 64 percent, 64 frickin percent.

00:48:41.060 Someone should send that poll to Rand Paul.

00:48:42.880 I wish I had his cell phone number because I would have texted him and told him how big 1.00

00:48:46.000 of a fool he is. 1.00

00:48:47.300 I mean, maybe he doesn't want to run for re-election, but then again, you know what? 1.00

00:48:50.540 He'll probably get the support from President Trump because he supports Lindsey Graham and

00:48:55.740 among other people.

00:48:56.780 So, I mean, he probably would support him at this point.

00:48:59.840 It's pretty crazy.

00:49:01.620 Some of the other numbers you've got, Mark, which I thought was alarming.

00:49:04.800 You did a fitness poll on President Trump.

00:49:08.180 Is he fit for office?

00:49:09.640 Not as bad as Joe Biden, but you look at Joe Biden and what he was and the guy was a total 0.85

00:49:14.260 vegetable.

00:49:16.120 What's your percentages on people who say Trump is not fit mentally and physically fit for

00:49:20.520 office?

00:49:20.900 So this one is an important one, in my opinion, because it shows that we are out for the American

00:49:27.820 people and not for any certain party.

00:49:31.360 And so we have a question like, in your opinion, is Donald Trump, how confident are you that

00:49:37.380 Donald Trump is physically and mentally up to the job of doing of president?

00:49:43.000 And Donald Trump was plus eight.

00:49:46.020 He was 49% people are confident to only 41% not.

00:49:51.160 And that's a complete reversal of where Joe Biden was.

00:49:54.280 I think Biden was 48% confident to like 53% not confident.

00:49:58.500 And so that's an important one to notice.

00:50:02.240 And this was actually the same poll where Trump was negative 13 on understanding like the problems

00:50:09.020 I face every day.

00:50:10.060 And so it's not necessarily an aspect of age.

00:50:13.220 And I think this is important because it does dispel the narrative.

00:50:16.780 Most Democrats do think that Trump has an age problem, but this dispels the narrative.

00:50:21.820 I think we see on the left that people just don't see it, right?

00:50:25.040 You look at Reddit, it's all about how Trump is falling asleep at his meetings.

00:50:28.520 The real problem is just that he's in this bubble and he's not really addressing the needs

00:50:33.080 of America.

00:50:33.900 And that's like kind of because he's an old billionaire surrounded by billionaires with

00:50:38.240 a party that loves billionaires.

00:50:40.040 Yeah.

00:50:40.680 I don't think for a second he's falling asleep. 1.00

00:50:42.720 I mean, it's so stupid. 1.00

00:50:46.100 I mean, you were, you saw him, whatever, two weeks ago. 1.00

00:50:49.060 There's no mental change.

00:50:51.660 He's sharp as a tack and everyone says it.

00:50:53.620 The only people who say it are the same people who told us for four years that Joe Biden 0.63

00:50:57.280 was healthy and the guy wasn't shitting his pants.

00:50:59.120 I mean, like, give me a break. 0.84

00:51:00.780 It's so absurd.

00:51:01.800 The guy looks down at a piece of paper like I'm looking at right now.

00:51:04.840 It looks like my eyes are closed. 1.00

00:51:06.120 And it's just, it's so stupid that this is, this is what we're dealing with. 1.00

00:51:11.300 This is what we're up against. 1.00

00:51:15.020 It's sad.

00:51:16.060 Before we wrap, I want to get, because this is, you can get some polling on Ukraine today,

00:51:19.960 which I thought was interesting.

00:51:22.900 And this is, this is today from, by the way, the Gateway Pundit.

00:51:26.200 I give them a shout out every single day.

00:51:27.480 They do such a good job.

00:51:28.560 Joe and Jim Hoff, two terrific gentlemen.

00:51:31.600 Congress votes to hand over another $800 million for the Ukraine war,

00:51:35.420 but so far refuses to vote for the $2,000 Trump tariff rebate checks for working Americans.

00:51:41.200 Now, I don't agree with either of them.

00:51:42.460 I don't think we should be giving out rebate checks for Americans.

00:51:45.120 I don't think that we should be giving one red cent to Ukraine.

00:51:48.720 So I'm sort of against Trump, I guess, on both of these.

00:51:51.900 We need to pay down our debt.

00:51:53.380 $2.3 trillion added to the balance sheet since President Trump took office.

00:51:57.780 The Fed is doing buybacks.

00:52:01.100 I mean, the whole thing is just so, in my opinion, really upside down right now.

00:52:06.520 Not as good as I think it could be.

00:52:09.700 What are the people saying about Ukraine?

00:52:11.540 Well, quick on the tariffs.

00:52:14.980 The tariffs were super popular.

00:52:16.420 The checks, 62 to 29, so 2 to 1.

00:52:20.160 But then we ask, well, actually, though, what if the government just used it to pay down debt?

00:52:24.660 And the tapped out American consumer that has been squeezed for every drop is like, no, no, government.

00:52:30.800 You need this more than us.

00:52:31.860 And it was 45 to 29.

00:52:33.800 So that's really freaking incredible.

00:52:36.260 And it shows you an aspect of fiscal conservatism that the people have.

00:52:39.500 But as far as Ukraine and Russia go, this has been a tough one because the anti-Russia gaslighting has really gone deep.

00:52:48.000 And I don't have a side here, but I'm just clear-eyed about the fact that the West kind of instigated this.

00:52:54.500 You know what I mean?

00:52:54.920 And it could have been averted because the Russian troops were on the border for like a month.

00:52:58.560 Biden didn't do anything.

00:52:59.800 And NATO wants a war.

00:53:00.980 And they've said they want a war, and they're trying to get us involved in a war, and that's not good.

00:53:06.700 So people think that it's a stalemate.

00:53:08.600 Nobody thinks either Russia or Ukraine is winning.

00:53:11.860 But we finally asked recently, well, what about support?

00:53:15.420 Have we supported enough?

00:53:16.680 Should we keep supporting?

00:53:17.740 Has America done enough to help Ukraine in its war against Russia?

00:53:21.260 And it's 40 yes to 41 no, but for Republicans, it's 59 yes to 26 no.

00:53:29.320 So Republicans are almost – they're over.

00:53:33.180 They're plus 33 saying we have done enough for Ukraine.

00:53:38.280 The number among Trump voters is even higher.

00:53:40.720 But then the whole point was to contrast.

00:53:43.420 Has America's European allies done enough to help Ukraine in its war against Russia?

00:53:47.760 27% of America says yes.

00:53:49.720 48% say no.

00:53:51.260 So people mostly think that Europe isn't pulling its weight, and Republicans, it's 31 to 51.

00:53:57.200 So there's this aspect now, the State Department leaning into this anti-NATO, defend the West kind of thing that they've been doing.

00:54:05.920 I think it's going to be really popular, and I think they need more leadership on it.

00:54:09.860 We're going into the field now with more NATO questions.

00:54:15.100 But this isn't – what's important to acknowledge is that this doesn't mean that people have turned a corner

00:54:20.000 on Ukraine versus Russia.

00:54:21.960 They still hate Russia for what it did because then we also ask, which is close to your opinion?

00:54:27.500 Ukraine shouldn't accept the deal unless Russia is gone out of there, or it's more important to end the war now,

00:54:34.600 even if Ukraine has to give up its territory.

00:54:36.340 So people actually think by a two-to-one margin that Russia needs to go and Ukraine needs to keep all its territory, 0.70

00:54:42.440 which in my opinion is crazy, Bill.

00:54:44.500 Like that's not reality. 0.96

00:54:46.220 So I don't know where it's going to go, but personally, I think it's just time to cut these deadbeats off.

00:54:50.300 But if Zelensky doesn't even have the respect for the American taxpayer to read Trump's peace deal,

00:54:56.420 like that should have ended it in my opinion.

00:54:58.500 Yeah, he came out right away.

00:55:01.100 He said, oh, no, no, no, we've got this peace plan that we want to look at. 0.75

00:55:03.900 It's clear that Europe doesn't want an end to the war, and everyone's like, oh, well, Putin's crazy

00:55:08.000 because he came out last week and said, oh, I'm ready for war with Europe. 0.66

00:55:11.060 I mean, what the hell is this guy supposed to do?

00:55:13.740 Europe's there stoking this war, stoking this war, stoking this war.

00:55:17.640 They don't want any peace deal.

00:55:18.760 They want the war to keep on going on.

00:55:20.440 So what does the deal?

00:55:21.300 Does Putin just keep sitting there fighting?

00:55:23.800 Is he not supposed to take any more territory?

00:55:25.280 And I'm not defending Russia or Putin at all, but I'm saying like as a country, as a leader of a country,

00:55:29.980 what more is he supposed to do?

00:55:31.720 What is he supposed to do when Europe is doing everything they can from a peace plan not happening?

00:55:38.240 That to me tells Vladimir Putin that they want to keep going to war.

00:55:41.480 So what are you supposed to do as a world leader?

00:55:43.320 I don't understand.

00:55:44.400 Am I wrong?

00:55:44.980 Am I wrong?

00:55:45.800 Am I thinking on this?

00:55:46.620 No, we need we need a wartime leader, John.

00:55:50.360 We need Patton.

00:55:51.260 The Patton wouldn't pull up with this, like put up with this coke addled guy who's got it. 1.00

00:55:56.780 Quite frankly, the fact that there was kind of like an implied red line over audits for fraud should have been the end for the American taxpayer.

00:56:06.700 Like a violent, bloody, evil war supporting that.

00:56:12.220 I guess that's fine because we've done that in the past.

00:56:14.600 But one where the American taxpayer is being milked by freaking foreign oligarchs that are stashing this away in yachts somewhere. 0.99

00:56:22.180 That should have been a deal breaker.

00:56:24.300 And it's not. 0.98

00:56:25.520 And not only is it not a deal breaker, you got Lindsey Graham licking his chops about sending more crap over there. 0.94

00:56:30.480 The only thing and here's the thing I don't want to beat up on Republicans too hard.

00:56:34.940 It's like, OK, the nine hundred billion dollar NDA, I like fine.

00:56:38.620 We need to fund the military.

00:56:40.040 I'm actually surprised that those numbers are millions and not billions.

00:56:43.340 I'm actually really pleased that the amount of money that we're sending to Ukraine now is only less than a billion and Israel less than a billion there.

00:56:51.540 So I think it's a move in the right direction.

00:56:53.500 But it's like, guys, what are you doing, though?

00:56:55.820 It's three hundred and twenty six days.

00:56:57.380 You got to govern for the American people and not for the special interests.

00:57:01.960 Yeah. 0.83

00:57:02.300 And another thing they used to tell me all the time, pigs get fat and hogs get slaughtered.

00:57:07.620 And it's looking like Zelensky's got himself a hog on his hands.

00:57:11.260 The guy's taking way too much money with nothing to show for it.

00:57:14.360 I think eventually he gets caught with his hands in the cookie jar.

00:57:17.280 And I said this from the beginning.

00:57:18.440 I think he gets on a helicopter and flees somewhere because he's got caught.

00:57:22.080 And yeah, I think the time is coming.

00:57:24.960 I think he might be like a front for somebody.

00:57:29.980 I think he might be a puppet more than we think.

00:57:32.460 And that's tough.

00:57:33.520 You know, he probably has some pretty tough demons.

00:57:36.200 He wrestles every night.

00:57:37.360 I'm going to go on the women say we see him disappear from Ukraine before we get a peace deal done. 0.99

00:57:41.400 Hopefully I'm wrong.

00:57:42.100 But that's just my sense on how things have progressed so slowly.

00:57:46.820 And I've said from the beginning, I think it ends with Zelensky getting on a helicopter and disappearing somewhere.

00:57:52.920 Where that's over the Black Sea.

00:57:56.940 Somewhere in Myanmar, maybe somewhere in Malaysia.

00:58:02.180 Who the hell knows?

00:58:02.900 But I think he disappears somewhere.

00:58:05.280 It just doesn't seem feasible to me that this man has been totally honest.

00:58:08.880 And if anyone catches him, it's going to be Donald Trump. 0.97

00:58:11.820 And we know Donald Trump isn't too favorable to liars and cheats.

00:58:17.020 So, Mark Mitchell, as always, a delight to talk with you.

00:58:20.420 You get the last word here.

00:58:21.440 We could have went for another two hours or so.

00:58:23.220 But you got a busy day ahead of you.

00:58:25.700 You get the last word here.

00:58:26.660 No, that's it, man.

00:58:28.600 I gave it all. 0.96

00:58:29.620 That's what, you know, let's kick out those Indians and reclaim our technology industry, which is, I didn't rant about this enough. 1.00

00:58:39.260 This is a national security concern. 0.90

00:58:41.220 You know, the Fortune 100 engineering departments have all been taken over Indians. 1.00

00:58:45.020 And you know what I heard?

00:58:46.140 Somebody actually sent me this as a tip.

00:58:48.040 And I'm not a journalist.

00:58:49.320 Otherwise, I would look into this.

00:58:51.260 But everybody said, look at Google winning that massive $200 billion Department of Defense contract.

00:58:57.340 What's going on there?

00:58:58.920 And you know what I heard behind the scenes is that, well, the way they're doing contracting in the DOD is that they're requiring certain data not be accessible or used by foreign national employees.

00:59:11.300 And if you're a technology company, you've been hiring these people with both hands and fists.

00:59:16.100 And apparently, apparently Google may have won that contract because they were able to convince Uncle Sam that they were the least dirty shirt and were able to like firewall this information.

00:59:28.900 But this is a real problem.

00:59:29.940 Like if we ever got in a war with India, if there were ever data that China wanted and they were willing to burn a bridge, you know, it would be theirs. 0.93

00:59:37.580 They are next to China, which is our biggest.

00:59:39.580 Just remember the bricks, John.

00:59:42.220 We gave every engineering department and every important company in the United States all to save 10% on engineering labor.

00:59:49.780 And it's disgusting and brutal.

00:59:51.680 And I'll say it all day long. 0.92

00:59:53.240 We need to de-Indianize. 1.00

00:59:54.440 And it has nothing to do with race and everything to do with foreign interests.

00:59:58.300 And so follow me at Rasmussen underscore poll at Honest Polster and check us out on YouTube.

01:00:02.460 And I'll see whoever's going to AmFest.

01:00:05.060 Maybe me and John can hang out with folks.

01:00:06.880 Yeah, it caused some trouble.

01:00:08.660 Have a few non-alcoholic beers.

01:00:10.660 You know, I just kind of came up with a really good idea.

01:00:13.000 You know, colleges have quotas for minorities.

01:00:15.880 Every company should have a quota for Americans and it should be like 98%. 1.00

01:00:21.180 How about you have to hit your 98% quota of American hired people before you go into a pool of H-1Bs? 1.00

01:00:29.100 What do you think about that?

01:00:29.780 Yeah, that's the kind of thing that Republicans in Congress should be considering.

01:00:35.900 But, you know, I'm pretty sure that sort of like the big business chamber of commerce folks down in Washington, D.C. aren't going to consider that.

01:00:43.640 We've certainly done things like that.

01:00:45.340 Remember, we've had immigration laws that have forced our immigrants to come from places who will assimilate. 0.68

01:00:51.800 That was literally the law in America up until 1965 for almost 200 years.

01:00:58.080 That's what we did is we took immigrants from places. 1.00

01:01:01.660 First off, we stopped immigrants when we were out of room because I think that first great wave of immigration in the early 1900s precipitated the Great Depression for 100%.

01:01:11.560 And then we cracked down on immigration and then we opened the floodgates again.

01:01:15.400 Infinity immigrants from everywhere on Earth. 0.53

01:01:18.060 And it is a failed experience as Donald Trump is now talking about, but the Republicans are not.

01:01:24.080 So these people are being left behind in the dust by a right wing movement that they don't even understand.

01:01:30.980 And this is a really big problem.

01:01:33.420 It's going to take all of us pushing on that boulder in the in the info war trenches.

01:01:37.660 So, again, hope to see people on Twitter.

01:01:39.440 At Rasmussen underscore poll at honest pollster on Twitter.

01:01:43.580 And as Mark said, maybe we'll see you guys at AmFest.

01:01:46.640 I guess, is it next week?

01:01:48.100 It's a week from today.

01:01:49.040 It starts.

01:01:49.740 So, yeah, we'll both be down there.

01:01:52.120 So if you're if you're heading there, hit us up on Twitter or give us a call or whatever.

01:01:57.720 Mark Mitchell, always a delight, my friend.

01:01:59.420 Be well.

01:02:00.760 You too.

01:02:01.180 Great to be here.

01:02:02.180 Thanks, everybody, for being with us today here on The Great American Show.

01:02:04.560 We hope to see you back here tomorrow.

01:02:05.660 Truth, justice and the American way at the forefront.

01:02:08.360 Until then, may God bless you.

01:02:10.160 May God bless America.

01:02:11.180 May God bless the great Lou Dobbs.

01:02:13.400 Have a wonderful night, everybody.

01:02:14.500 We'll see you tomorrow.

01:02:15.040 We'll see you tomorrow.
