The Great America Show - The Great America Saturday Show： January 17, 2026

00:00:00.000 Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Great America Show. Happy Monday. Hope you folks all had

00:00:06.740 a great weekend. Civil unrest continues in the streets of America as we sit here and

00:00:11.840 speak right now. Some of it is probably just some innocent bystanders protesting, but the

00:00:19.160 mass majority of it is, as we all know, paid protesters, maybe at the behest of people

00:00:24.480 like George Soros. Now, the Democrats don't like inconvenient truths. And over the weekend,

00:00:29.360 we've got an inconvenient truth that came out. And it's something absolutely blockbuster to this

00:00:35.460 entire situation. And it blows the doors off the notion that the Democrats have been telling us

00:00:40.760 that this lady driving the car was trying to get away. She was just trying to go home and that she 1.00

00:00:46.240 wasn't sitting there for five minutes taunting ICE agents for them to not know what was going to

00:00:50.720 happen. So what's the inconvenient truth that happened? Well, the body cam footage of the

00:00:55.440 officer who shot Renee Goode is now out. Let's take a listen and take a walk.

00:01:00.940 That's fine, dude. I'm not mad at you. Show your face. Show your face. I'm not mad at you. It's okay. We don't change our plates every morning, just so you know. It'll be the same plate when you come talk to us later. That's fine. U.S. citizen. 0.87

00:01:26.840 That's Renee's girlfriend there, Kirsten. You want to come at us? Let's go get yourself some lunch, big boy.

00:01:33.920 Go ahead. Out of the car. Get out of the fucking car. Get out of the car.

00:01:38.840 Get out of the car.

00:01:43.840 So that blows the notion off there that she was trying to drive away. You can hear him start to curse there a little bit as she actually hits him with the car. You hear her hit him with the car.

00:01:56.960 In the video. So the Democrats notion and all these woke justice warriors who have been saying the wheels were turned left, the wheels were turned right. It's causing effect. You shouldn't have been there. You shouldn't have been doing that. But now that you did and he told you to get out of the car because you're impeding a federal investigation, you should have got out of the car.

00:02:16.360 You can't have this on your own terms, on your own grounds that you want to mess with this guy. You want to follow them. You want to impede their investigation. You want to put targets on their back.

00:02:26.820 And then when they call you out, the game is over. It doesn't work like that. You can't put these guys' lives in danger each and every single day and think it's OK. There's nothing OK about it.

00:02:42.360 Now, as we saw during the summer of love, the George Floyd riots, the woke sports, and it's still an NFL. Stop racism, stop hate on the back of end zones like it does anything.

00:02:56.120 It's idiotic and retarded. But the NBA, back with their social justice warrior program, and boy, are they so stupid. 1.00

00:03:05.800 Doc Rivers, who was once one of the greatest coaches of all times, making himself look like an utter fool. 1.00

00:03:12.660 What happened in Minnesota was a straight up murder, in my opinion. And it's awful. 0.98

00:03:20.520 You know, this lady was probably trying to go home, and she didn't make it home, and that's really sad.

00:03:27.300 So this whole ICE thing, it's a travesty. You know, it's clearly, to me, we're attacking brown people, and I just happen to be brown.

00:03:40.940 And I don't think it should just be brown people who are upset at this. I think we all have to be.

00:03:51.160 I don't care what side of this thing you are on politically.

00:03:56.060 What's going on in our country right now is absolutely wrong as far as the race stuff.

00:04:00.840 The politics, I'm not going to get into. The race stuff, I will, and it's just wrong, and we have to do something.

00:04:08.840 But the only thing we can do right now is keep speaking up, because it doesn't seem like they care.

00:04:14.420 And that's troublesome.

00:04:16.240 Last thing I'm going to say, because I don't want to stay on this, but I could.

00:04:18.780 I keep thinking about kids.

00:04:23.480 And when I grew up, the president was always the role model.

00:04:28.820 And I think about that and the effect of being a bully, lying.

00:04:37.360 How is that good for our kids?

00:04:40.100 And that worries me for our future.

00:04:42.860 And they wonder why the number of viewers in sports is going down brown people.

00:04:52.260 When has this ever been about skin color?

00:04:54.620 This is what they want it to be.

00:04:56.380 They want it to be about the skin tone.

00:04:59.320 Because then it can fit a certain narrative just how they want it to fit.

00:05:04.260 No, Doc Rivers, it's about if you're illegal or you're not.

00:05:07.180 And by the way, we're working on something really big on this show.

00:05:09.400 I don't want to let out too many details.

00:05:11.040 But we're working on something very big, exposing one of the largest unions in America for using illegal labor.

00:05:17.920 It's not just people south of the border.

00:05:19.960 It's people north of the border, too.

00:05:21.840 You're going to be hearing about it here on the show.

00:05:23.580 It's an exclusive that we're working on here with some people inside of these unions.

00:05:29.040 So if you're in a union in New York or north of New York, be on your toes.

00:05:37.320 And if you're working with illegals, you should probably say something. 1.00

00:05:40.340 Because you're taking the jobs of each and every one of your brothers, your sisters and your neighbors.

00:05:45.020 So we'll fill you in on that as we get closer to blowing the lid off of it.

00:05:50.760 But nobody's safe here on The Great America Show.

00:05:53.560 Turning now to a woke, radical Biden judge.

00:05:57.480 A Washington State-based federal judge over the weekend striking down key parts of President Trump's executive order on mail-in ballots.

00:06:04.460 Now, of course, the Democrats win elections based on mail-in ballots and other methods.

00:06:10.020 President Trump's executive order was to require proof of citizenship on federal voter registration forms and required mail-in ballots.

00:06:17.460 And they are to be received by Election Day.

00:06:19.620 Now, that doesn't seem like too much to ask for, right?

00:06:22.140 Prove that you're a citizen and just get your ballot in by Election Day.

00:06:25.560 You know, folks, you know 20 years in advance, you know 30 years in advance, you know 10 years in advance, five years in advance, what day Election Day is going to be.

00:06:34.560 And you have years and months and weeks to prepare on how you're going to vote.

00:06:40.320 So there's no excuse.

00:06:41.820 This isn't fifth grade pop quiz day.

00:06:43.900 OK, so President Trump's executive order also instructed the Department of Justice to take action against states that count ballots that arrive after Election Day.

00:06:54.000 Once again, we shouldn't be counting ballots after Election Day.

00:06:57.140 It's Election Day, not Election Week.

00:06:58.980 But U.S. District Judge John Chun up in Washington, who was, of course, appointed by Joe Biden, who, of course, was behind the biggest rigged election in the history of this country, blocking certain parts of President Trump's executive order that he implemented back in March, saying it can't be implemented at Washington State and Oregon.

00:07:17.580 He said that President Trump's executive order violated the Constitution's separation of powers and claimed that President Trump exceeded his authority.

00:07:24.980 Now, this is constantly what you're hearing from these numbskulls. 1.00

00:07:29.640 Now, they want to talk about executive authority and overstepping their boundaries. 0.96

00:07:33.900 While we're at it, why don't we talk about Jerome Powell, who might be the most screwed man in Washington, D.C., as we sit here right now?

00:07:41.560 Remember back a few months ago, I think it was in July, President Trump met with Jerome Powell to talk about his expansion of the Federal Reserve.

00:07:49.040 And I think it was right then in this moment that Jerome Powell knew he went up a little bit or a lot.

00:07:54.980 So the 2.7 is now 3.1.

00:07:58.200 I'm not aware of that.

00:07:59.320 Yeah, it just came out.

00:08:01.260 Yeah, I haven't heard that from anybody from Fed.

00:08:04.800 Yeah, it just came out.

00:08:09.240 Our notes added about 3.1 as well.

00:08:11.600 3.1, 3.2.

00:08:13.140 This came from us?

00:08:14.440 Yes.

00:08:15.500 Put my class.

00:08:18.720 Right here.

00:08:19.400 You're including the Martin renovation.

00:08:21.120 You just added it.

00:08:21.440 Our entire capital.

00:08:22.320 You just added in a third building is what that is.

00:08:25.320 That's a third building.

00:08:26.160 I know, but it's the building that's being built.

00:08:28.560 No, it was built five years ago.

00:08:30.720 We finished Martin five years ago.

00:08:32.260 It was part of the overall work.

00:08:34.940 So we're going to take a look.

00:08:38.940 We're going to see what's happening.

00:08:41.060 And it's got a long way.

00:08:42.760 Do you expect any more additional cross-sell rooms?

00:08:46.120 Don't expect them.

00:08:47.700 We're right for them.

00:08:49.160 We have a little bit of a reserve that we may use.

00:08:51.920 But no, we don't.

00:08:52.800 Expect to be finished in 2027.

00:08:55.700 We're well along, as you can see.

00:08:58.920 Nice to take these off every once in a while when we're not in. 0.81

00:09:02.160 I think it was at that moment that Jerome Powell knew he was absolutely screwed, and rightfully so.

00:09:08.880 The guys played games with our interest rates and our economy for the past, I don't know, four years at a minimum.

00:09:16.180 So he's going to answer some questions now.

00:09:57.860 Vanessa, I've been on your show twice now.

00:10:00.880 It's a pleasure and an honor to have you.

00:10:02.880 Welcome to The Great America Show.

00:10:05.320 You have a new show now on Lindell TV.

00:10:07.240 Why don't you tell the audience where they can watch it?

00:10:09.960 Absolutely.

00:10:10.700 I just started this morning, and you woke up really early with me this morning.

00:10:14.460 I'm so sorry, John.

00:10:15.640 I had to call.

00:10:16.600 No, I wasn't on the way to call you because you hadn't answered me yet.

00:10:19.200 I was getting a little nervous.

00:10:20.200 I was texting you.

00:10:20.960 Wake up, wake up, because we're now on Mornings on Lindell TV, a brand new morning show.

00:10:26.300 My Mornings with Vanessa airs every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, weekdays, 9 a.m. Eastern.

00:10:34.480 You can catch me as you're heading out the door to work to bring the kids to school, whatever you choose.

00:10:39.220 If you're just getting ready for the day, tune in.

00:10:42.400 You can also watch on the go.

00:10:45.680 It's streaming on LindellTV.com, the Lindell TV app, Vocal, X, all of the channels, Rumble, you name it, we're there.

00:10:54.560 So, yeah, today was my first day.

00:10:56.460 I'm so happy to say we can always put this down in the history books, John.

00:11:00.360 You are my first guest on the morning show, and we launched today.

00:11:04.900 I wish I'd be lying if I told you I was going to tune in live every day at 9 a.m.

00:11:08.980 But I will catch the reruns.

00:11:12.120 I'm a night person.

00:11:13.440 I, you know, I'll stay up and work until 2, 3 o'clock in the morning.

00:11:16.500 I do, too.

00:11:17.300 I love staying up late at night.

00:11:19.700 That's really where I get a lot of my work done, catching up.

00:11:23.700 But I worked mornings in mainstream media.

00:11:26.640 That was my favorite shift.

00:11:27.980 John, we went on air at 4.30 a.m.

00:11:30.060 So, 9 a.m. Eastern is not too bad, but it's still a little adjustment with my alarm clock.

00:11:35.480 That was criminal for me.

00:11:36.580 Speaking of criminals, a man in Washington, D.C.

00:11:40.080 who's going to have to start answering some questions, and it's Jerome Powell, as we heard

00:11:44.020 there back in July.

00:11:45.700 He was doing a little, well, you know, a little shuffle, or as President Trump likes to call

00:11:51.260 it, the weave, seeming a little bit nervous back then.

00:11:54.580 He should be nervous now.

00:11:55.800 But, of course, and we're not even going to air it because it's so nonsensical, of Jerome

00:12:00.380 Powell putting out a video on Friday saying, well, the DOJ is coming after me.

00:12:04.940 They're looking at me.

00:12:05.860 I'm just doing honesty.

00:12:06.920 Your thoughts on Jerome Powell, a man who's just been a thorn in the side of each and every

00:12:11.680 American, quite honestly.

00:12:13.440 Yeah, he has.

00:12:14.220 And so Americans are struggling.

00:12:15.820 Interest rates have not come down.

00:12:17.180 They've come down a little bit.

00:12:18.380 And that helps.

00:12:19.040 Of course, every little bit helps.

00:12:20.440 But it's because President Trump has been on him constantly and calling him out constantly

00:12:25.440 to help the American people bring down these interest rates.

00:12:28.340 I love the video that you showed right before commercial break.

00:12:31.460 That's one of my favorite ones because that was complete, real-time discussion between

00:12:37.100 Jerome Powell and President Trump with the cameras rolling.

00:12:40.540 President Trump says, here, I have the proof, gives him the paper.

00:12:44.020 Jerome Powell shakes his head and says, no, that's the third building, President Trump.

00:12:47.820 But it's still part of the project, right?

00:12:49.980 And so it still affects everyone.

00:12:52.360 And so it's just, yeah, he's been a thorn in everyone's side for a very long time.

00:12:56.260 I think you mentioned, what, four years now?

00:12:58.660 But that video that he released over the weekend, heading into the weekend, talking

00:13:04.000 about, you know, he's innocent.

00:13:07.120 He, you know, does his job as he was sworn to do.

00:13:11.200 And he served under several administrations.

00:13:14.240 And this is just political, you know, interference are coming after him.

00:13:18.260 No, this is on him.

00:13:21.160 I say it all the time, Vanessa.

00:13:22.680 So lawyers are like the worst of people here in America.

00:13:27.040 I mean, the lawfare that's been waged on society. 0.99

00:13:29.360 They're like just terrible, terrible people.

00:13:31.240 For the most part, there's a few good ones, but I can count them on one hand.

00:13:35.880 This man's a lawyer who's running the Federal Reserve, not an economist.

00:13:39.280 I look forward to the day that hopefully we're heard.

00:13:42.540 We're told that Kevin Hassett, an actual economist, will be will be heading to take over

00:13:46.980 the Federal Reserve, you know, pending appointment and all the the yellow tape that comes with

00:13:52.240 it.

00:13:52.440 But I think it's going to be a breath of fresh air.

00:13:54.780 Also, over the weekend, President Trump announcing for a year, starting on January 20th, he's

00:13:59.100 going to cap the credit card interest rate at 10 percent.

00:14:02.520 Now, the people in the banks are very upset.

00:14:04.600 And I understand both parts of it coming from a family of literally every single person in

00:14:08.980 my family, Vanessa, is in banking.

00:14:10.340 And they're abhorrent about it because they say, you know, well, the banks assume a risk

00:14:15.900 that people aren't going to pay their credit cards back.

00:14:18.040 So the high interest rates, you know, well, that's not my problem.

00:14:21.660 My that's not my problem.

00:14:23.240 If you want to take on people who are deadbeats and don't pay their credit cards, that's on

00:14:26.920 you guys.

00:14:27.400 You guys should use your best determination.

00:14:28.680 But President Trump, if you think about it, Vanessa, credit card interest rates have went

00:14:33.620 back when you were probably a kid.

00:14:36.540 And I was a kid, 12 percent, 13 percent, 14 percent.

00:14:40.180 They're now looking at 30 percent on the APY.

00:14:43.820 It's criminal, Vanessa.

00:14:45.160 A family.

00:14:45.800 You look at credit card debt now across America and people are putting utilities on it.

00:14:50.640 They're putting groceries.

00:14:51.880 They're putting their bare necessities on their credit card to which the credit card

00:14:56.180 company now says, you know, times are a little interesting.

00:14:59.560 Rates are a little bit higher.

00:15:01.200 We're going to now charge you 30 percent after you've already bought whatever you bought.

00:15:05.060 It's criminal, in my opinion.

00:15:06.540 What are your thoughts?

00:15:07.600 Mine, too.

00:15:08.340 And, you know, we're just coming off the heels of Christmas.

00:15:10.880 People use their credit cards during the holidays, right, because they just can't afford.

00:15:14.980 They're trying to live paycheck to paycheck from January to November.

00:15:19.020 So then you throw in Christmas into the mix.

00:15:21.660 You're mentioning families.

00:15:22.880 That's so hard for them.

00:15:24.060 So they're putting, you know, toys and gifts and family items on their credit card.

00:15:30.120 Holiday meals, Thanksgiving meals.

00:15:32.640 They're putting it on their credit card and then they're hit with a 30 percent interest.

00:15:35.940 You know, that's just insane.

00:15:38.160 People cannot afford it.

00:15:39.660 And so this is a chance for you are so spot on.

00:15:43.020 If the banks are letting people just every day, you know, Joe blows have a credit card.

00:15:50.060 You know, you have to fill out the application.

00:15:51.400 You have to apply for one.

00:15:52.500 If you're letting anyone and everyone have a credit card, then that's on you, right?

00:15:59.220 You need to make sure that, you know, what's their salary?

00:16:02.440 What is their, you know, cost of living?

00:16:04.940 What's their mortgage?

00:16:05.820 Can they afford this?

00:16:06.780 Whatever the case is, I'm not in banking, but I have filled out many forms that they can afford this payback.

00:16:14.280 So you don't have to, you know, charge them a whopping 30 percent.

00:16:19.360 You know, it should be 5 percent, 10 percent.

00:16:21.700 You know, if you don't pay it at the end of the month in full by the next month, when you get your credit card statement, it is through their roof.

00:16:29.140 And families are struggling.

00:16:30.560 So I know that, too, Vanessa, we got to look at and we were this was reported on maybe a year ago, illegals, because we now know that illegals can get, you know, fake social security cards.

00:16:42.960 They get driver's licenses.

00:16:44.660 How many of these illegals who are being deported have left debt on the books at these banks?

00:16:48.680 And I think it's hysterical.

00:16:50.880 If you did that as a bank, then you deserve to be beat because these people got over on you.

00:16:55.120 You got over, you know, by an illegal.

00:16:57.100 So that's not my problem as an American.

00:16:59.620 I sit here, I pay my taxes each and every quarter that I've got to pay them.

00:17:04.740 I pay for health insurance.

00:17:06.460 You know, I pay for everything while these illegals are allowed to come to this country and do whatever they want. 1.00

00:17:11.900 I hope one day in my next life, Vanessa, I'm in another country as an illegal and I'm a fourth.

00:17:17.260 John in your next life again and again and again and again, because we're just too cool.

00:17:22.180 But, you know, these illegals, they have come in and they are living the life. 1.00

00:17:25.960 You have opened up the worst box on that one.

00:17:27.760 We have illegals who get free health care, they get credit cards, they get free phones, they get free housing, they get free food, they get free everything. 0.97

00:17:36.360 And it's the Americans who are struggling.

00:17:39.460 But hopefully under Trump, that's all, you know, we're starting to see that come to an end.

00:17:43.120 But he's still fighting these Democrat run states like California, who they want to put these illegals first. 0.99

00:17:49.520 And so kudos to President Trump yet again for fighting for the American people when it comes to battling these credit card companies.

00:17:57.680 I pay nine hundred dollars and I don't say this to brag, but I pay it's over nine hundred dollars a month for health care.

00:18:03.560 Oh, I mean, it's my son and it's very expensive.

00:18:07.700 It's a criminal organization.

00:18:08.840 The health care industry is an absolute gangster.

00:18:11.560 There are alternatives, though, and I'm not here to, you know, be a paid advertiser for any company, but there are alternatives to these big health care companies where you have Christian run health care. 0.93

00:18:26.820 They don't call themselves insurance.

00:18:28.300 You just put your money into a pot every month.

00:18:30.380 Yeah.

00:18:30.800 Health sharing.

00:18:31.340 Yes, it's health sharing.

00:18:33.900 And so I have been in between jobs multiple times where in those couple of months I've had to use that.

00:18:40.080 And it's so much cheaper, more affordable for you and your family.

00:18:44.440 And they're not ripping you off like the bigger.

00:18:48.060 Yeah.

00:18:48.900 Let's talk about what's going on just west of us over in Portland, over in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

00:18:57.860 Over the weekend, two Trendy Agua members, two, two, I'm sure, two stand up citizens, by the way.

00:19:05.420 I'm sure the two men who were shot, these Trendy Agua gangbanger gangsters were really good Americans that were trying to run over ice agents with their cars shot over in Portland.

00:19:14.280 The mayor, Mayor Coda, comes out and says that we should all be terrified.

00:19:18.240 Let's take a listen to this freak show.

00:19:19.600 We are standing here today united as a state wanting peace and safety in our communities.

00:19:27.860 We are all shaken and outraged by another terrible, unnecessary, violent event instigated by the reckless agenda of the Trump administration.

00:19:38.180 This time in our own state, in our largest city, coming just one day after the tragedy in Minnesota.

00:19:44.200 I'm not even going to ask you if you're surprised that that's what the mayor of Portland looks like.

00:19:48.520 I'm going to ask you what you think of this woman who says that we're terrified that two Trendy Agua members were shot because they tried to run over ice agents.

00:19:58.260 I mean, it's so absurd.

00:19:59.600 It is, and it's just another example of what our ice agents are dealing with on a daily basis.

00:20:06.300 You know, they go in.

00:20:07.160 It is their job to remove these illegals and get them out of our country. 1.00

00:20:10.700 That's what we voted for, right?

00:20:11.800 Last time I checked, that's what everyone basically in the country, unless there's not Democrat-run states anymore.

00:20:19.120 They're Democrat-run cities.

00:20:20.240 Because if you look at Minneapolis, or if you look at, you know, Austin and Houston, or if you look at Los Angeles, everywhere around L.A. is all conservative.

00:20:29.920 So it's Democrat-run cities, and then you have these cities that put in these governors and mayors. 0.52

00:20:36.360 But, you know, their job is to get these illegals off the street. 1.00

00:20:41.740 Trendy Agua is a gang. 0.99

00:20:44.280 They are known for murdering, for raping, for everything that you can think of criminally. 0.99

00:20:49.440 The worst crimes.

00:20:51.000 Some of these, John, are on the most wanted list in the world.

00:20:55.520 And so, you know, they're just fighting these criminals every single day.

00:21:01.580 But when they approach them, like we saw in Minneapolis, and then, you know, you have to defend yourself because a car is coming after you, and you get hit, as we saw in your surveillance.

00:21:11.020 It wasn't surveillance.

00:21:12.340 It was body cam footage from the officer that was just released.

00:21:15.580 Because, Kristi Noem said it, you can't change the facts because you don't like the facts.

00:21:22.120 Yeah.

00:21:22.420 You can't change what we see.

00:21:24.540 We see it with our own eyes what happened, and they're still trying to change the facts.

00:21:29.080 You're not allowed to do that, but they're still trying so hard.

00:21:32.640 And you said this earlier, you were showing a coach trying to make this into an African-American situation.

00:21:40.960 Can you imagine if this was another George Floyd-type situation in Minneapolis?

00:21:45.200 It's bad now.

00:21:46.480 But if the woman was African-American, this is going to fit into their narrative. 0.98

00:21:50.640 You know, of course, we wish the woman wasn't there. 1.00

00:21:53.460 We wish she would have picked up her children from daycare that day, and they're living happily ever after.

00:21:58.200 But that's not the case.

00:21:59.280 She chose to block the road, taunt ICE, speed off. 0.92

00:22:07.120 And, you know, she was speeding off in her car.

00:22:09.700 That could have led to a police chase.

00:22:11.680 You know, this is what our ICE officers and officials and agents are doing every single day,

00:22:16.260 whether it's just with the average lunatic leftist, trendy Aragua, illegal aliens coming in.

00:22:24.080 I mean, they have a very dangerous job. 0.97

00:22:25.880 And so I hope they know.

00:22:27.580 We always say the silent majority.

00:22:29.100 Well, the silent majority wasn't so silent in November.

00:22:31.700 I mean, we came out in full force, made it too big to rig.

00:22:34.280 But I hope they know that the average American person supports them.

00:22:37.460 These are just paid crazies who are, you know, are put there to protest. 0.61

00:22:45.220 They go through, they go all out to act crazy so they can get a click on social media and start trending. 0.96

00:22:51.080 And then you have these lunatic mayors and governors like Tim Waltz and the mayor we just saw and the governors. 0.66

00:23:00.360 Yeah. 0.96

00:23:00.780 They're just Fry of Minneapolis.

00:23:04.640 They're taunting those people.

00:23:06.600 They're telling them, keep doing it.

00:23:07.960 They tell them not to, but it's really a, you can read between the lines.

00:23:11.740 Don't do this.

00:23:13.520 But OK, if you do, you know, they're pulling in Minneapolis, they're pulling back the police department.

00:23:18.460 But when the protesters are bombarding these apartments and these hotels and going in and just, you know, causing ruckus and chaos and destroying everything, like you said earlier, the summer of love back in 2020, they don't have support from the people at the top, from the governor or the mayor.

00:23:37.520 So if you don't have support from the top, they're pulling back their local police.

00:23:42.700 So guess who's going to come in?

00:23:43.980 Yeah.

00:23:44.360 The feds.

00:23:45.380 Yeah.

00:23:45.560 And so, and then they tell them, you know, I see you're destroying this, this building and this hotel and these streets and you're burning cars.

00:23:55.620 That's OK.

00:23:56.700 You know, so we want you out of our city.

00:23:59.580 Yeah. 0.99

00:23:59.760 They mentioned, did you bring up Doc Rivers again, who was one of the greatest coaches in history for the NBA, but just absolutely degrading himself to the stupidity of it. 0.99

00:24:16.100 It mentioned brown people, black Americans, what I call them. 0.99

00:24:20.880 They want no part of this. 0.99

00:24:22.920 You watch these videos of these people out on the streets, riding and looting. 0.66

00:24:26.580 It's white, blue haired, nose pierced freaks. 0.84

00:24:32.840 Yeah. 0.99

00:24:33.080 The black Americans are the ones who are being robbed in this situation because these illegals are taking their jobs. 1.00

00:24:39.860 The Somalian daycares in, now we find out it's not just Minneapolis, it's Columbus, Ohio. 0.97

00:24:45.920 I have someone on the streets in Providence, Rhode Island, in Boston, Massachusetts right now, investigating two separate situations over there.

00:24:54.020 So we find out they're all across America. 0.96

00:24:55.700 They are robbing from black Americans, and it's why they want absolutely nothing to do with this liberal blue haired nonsense of these people. 1.00

00:25:04.520 They don't even know what they stand for. 0.99

00:25:07.580 I don't think they have jobs.

00:25:08.920 I mean, most of them, as you said, paid agitators.

00:25:11.340 We find out this morning, George Soros once again having his hands in the cookie jar. 0.99

00:25:16.480 But this is different in the sense of the summer of love because these people are just absolute berserk lunatics. 0.98

00:25:24.860 I have to tell you a story, John. 0.72

00:25:26.660 When I was covering the campaign trail for President Trump in 2024, I had to go to Washington, D.C., and I was outside of a courthouse, and his motorcade was coming from the back of the courthouse.

00:25:39.320 I was at the front.

00:25:40.600 Motorcade was coming to the back.

00:25:41.860 He was going to take a secret entrance.

00:25:44.220 Well, we had another reporter in the motorcade.

00:25:47.820 I'm where the protesters are.

00:25:50.500 My reporter in the motorcade is texting me saying, is that so-and-so?

00:25:55.140 I know her voice.

00:25:56.600 And I said, yes.

00:25:58.520 This was a protester with a megaphone who was just screaming out.

00:26:04.040 So when they're on the opposite side of the courthouse, they could hear her.

00:26:10.280 She's known.

00:26:11.560 The police officers that were there where the protesters were, I spoke with them after my live hits.

00:26:16.420 They told me, we know her.

00:26:17.760 We know him.

00:26:18.460 We know them all.

00:26:19.640 It's the same ones who show up.

00:26:22.260 And my reporter was on the other side of the building and knew exactly who that was.

00:26:25.880 These aren't just random people showing up to protest.

00:26:28.260 These are people who are paid to travel the country, the same names, the same faces.

00:26:34.320 The police officers know them.

00:26:36.480 They see them all the time.

00:26:38.200 If I was there, I witnessed it.

00:26:40.340 So I know for a fact these people are known.

00:26:43.080 They're paid.

00:26:44.160 And we always say, what are they?

00:26:46.540 They don't have a job.

00:26:47.440 That is their job.

00:26:48.580 Yeah. 1.00

00:26:49.140 I can't imagine they're being paid very much because these people are absolutely idiots. 1.00

00:26:52.180 Can you imagine being paid to hate and scream all day and just throw out? 1.00

00:26:58.720 Vulgar words. 0.62

00:26:59.840 And I mean, that's a miserable life.

00:27:02.300 Yeah.

00:27:02.440 I mean, these people have no lives.

00:27:04.220 They're soulless. 0.98

00:27:05.100 Soulless people. 0.89

00:27:05.880 Let them come from broken households. 1.00

00:27:07.820 So, you know, I don't know.

00:27:09.540 I don't I don't get it.

00:27:10.780 Let's talk about some of the violence that they're putting.

00:27:13.180 Nick Shorter, who's a hell of a citizen journalist who's been on the streets for the riots of 2020.

00:27:18.740 And for now, these being tracked and abused and now.

00:27:24.300 Violet is.

00:27:33.760 Stop, stop, stop. 1.00

00:27:35.480 What the fuck? 1.00

00:27:36.620 Back up. 1.00

00:27:37.720 Back up.

00:27:38.440 Do it.

00:27:38.860 Back up.

00:27:39.760 Back up.

00:27:41.640 I was just talking.

00:27:44.260 Back up.

00:27:44.940 I've got to give Nick a call.

00:28:13.080 We've got to work on his hand to hand combat because it's needed out in those streets.

00:28:16.620 But I mean, this is what we're dealing with.

00:28:18.520 People are literally just walking around.

00:28:20.040 You know, the thing is, they like to cause destruction, Vanessa, but they don't like when you when you hold up your phone and you start recording them. 0.97

00:28:26.240 The faces are all covered up because they're cowards. 0.99

00:28:28.420 These aren't just cowards. 0.98

00:28:30.700 And if they're not with their groups, they're dead silent, quiet. 0.97

00:28:34.400 You know, it's like the whole passive aggressive thing.

00:28:38.020 Right.

00:28:38.460 And I worry about Nick.

00:28:39.440 I was actually thinking about Nick this morning.

00:28:41.020 I love him.

00:28:41.520 He's so good and he does such a great job.

00:28:44.200 And I was actually thinking about him this morning on the way to the studio, Don, and I was praying for him, actually.

00:28:50.420 And I know he puts himself in these tough, scary situations to really show the people what it's like on the ground.

00:29:00.680 But as we know, these people are very dangerous.

00:29:03.180 They don't have hearts.

00:29:04.660 A loss of life is nothing to them, you know.

00:29:06.740 And so injuring people.

00:29:09.560 I've seen so many videos of poor Nick being taunted and pushed around and shoved.

00:29:15.380 And look what happened when he was in Portland.

00:29:17.740 He had to go to jail, you know, because he was the one being pushed around and shoved and, you know, fists being thrown at him.

00:29:25.740 But the Portland police arrested him and not the agitator.

00:29:30.140 Welcome to Portland.

00:29:31.380 And so I see Nick in these videos and I just I pray for him all the time because I just want him to, you know, continue to do the great job that he does.

00:29:41.320 But be very, very, very careful.

00:29:43.680 Yeah.

00:29:43.800 These people got it.

00:29:44.500 They're going to have coming to them.

00:29:45.520 What what's what's coming to them?

00:29:47.000 It's it's a mess around and find out.

00:29:49.200 It's the old touch the hot stove.

00:29:50.920 And yeah, and they know Nick now they know after him even more now that, you know, he walks up and they see him.

00:29:59.360 They're going to agitate him.

00:30:00.520 And so they're going to, you know, calling names and push him around and all the things.

00:30:04.660 So he really put himself in danger to bring the truth to the American people.

00:30:09.300 And you know who doesn't do a good job of this?

00:30:10.960 It's our enemies.

00:30:11.900 And that's the mainstream media, the CNNs of the world who do a total disservice.

00:30:16.980 Kristi Noem was on with Jake Tapper, who tries to play devil's advocate.

00:30:21.200 He tries to play both sides of the situation, does a horrible job at it.

00:30:25.320 Ask Kristi Noem, had the audacity if she was doing a disservice to the country. 0.79

00:30:29.980 Take a listen.

00:30:30.480 Doing a disservice to the officer by reaching a conclusion before the investigation takes place.

00:30:36.920 I haven't heard you say once what a disservice it's done for Mayor Frye to get up and to tell ICE to get the F out of his city.

00:30:45.420 And ALC to stand up before she had any of the facts and call this officer a murderer.

00:30:50.460 For individuals, well, call them out, Jake.

00:30:52.380 Spend as much time calling them out.

00:30:54.340 I have provided you with facts and information to back up every single word that we have said and every single part of this investigation.

00:31:01.280 And if you don't like it, that's fine.

00:31:02.800 But we're going to continue to do the right thing to keep the American people safe.

00:31:06.260 I know that you'd like CNN and the mainstream media are the enemy of the people.

00:31:11.500 Change my mind.

00:31:13.480 I can't change your mind.

00:31:14.580 I came from mainstream media and there's a reason why I left.

00:31:19.420 But I'll tell you, you know, she's absolutely right there.

00:31:23.040 They try to spin it.

00:31:24.540 They try to turn it.

00:31:25.640 They don't report the facts.

00:31:28.300 It's just a battle every single day.

00:31:30.080 But can you imagine what if Trump didn't win?

00:31:33.320 This had happened under a Kamala Harris and Tim Waltz presidency and vice presidency.

00:31:39.760 That police, that that ICE officer would have already been in jail.

00:31:45.600 He would have already been charged.

00:31:47.280 They don't care what the dash cam video shows.

00:31:49.980 They don't care what the cell phone video shows.

00:31:52.200 They don't care about the three minutes that we that we now have video of leading up to the incident.

00:31:57.540 They don't care.

00:31:58.920 All they care about is that it was an ICE involved shooting.

00:32:02.320 They don't want the ICE agents there in their city or in their state.

00:32:05.760 So we're going to throw him in jail. 0.61

00:32:07.020 So I'm so glad that would have happened under a a presidency of Kamala Harris and I'm so glad that the federal government is not cooperating with with the local government's police investigation, because, you know, damn well, they're going to try to mix.

00:32:23.760 They're going to try to skew. 0.97

00:32:24.820 They're going to try to put in whatever narrative they want to spin.

00:32:27.640 Good for the federal government.

00:32:29.000 Good for President Trump and this administration, this Department of Justice.

00:32:32.620 Let these I'm not.

00:32:33.880 I'm going to try to keep it clean here.

00:32:35.160 You know what?

00:32:35.560 Yes.

00:32:35.800 It's good for them.

00:32:36.660 But I'm going to stand with the American people on this one and say we have seen so much come out in the last year.

00:32:42.760 President Trump now making one year this month of being the president.

00:32:46.640 Right.

00:32:46.880 And he's done many great things.

00:32:48.440 But what we haven't seen and what the American people want.

00:32:51.380 I'm an American at the end of the day.

00:32:52.760 Yes, I'm a news anchor.

00:32:54.360 But I also stand with the American people.

00:32:55.940 We have seen all this corruption.

00:32:59.000 And now we're investigating Jerome Powell.

00:33:03.260 We're investigating Letitia James.

00:33:05.200 We're investigating Tim Waltz.

00:33:07.140 We're investigating it.

00:33:08.120 Great.

00:33:08.800 We've seen all the evidence.

00:33:09.920 That's wonderful.

00:33:10.720 People are going to leering centers in Minneapolis.

00:33:13.360 Right.

00:33:14.260 Why haven't we seen arrests?

00:33:16.340 We want these people arrested.

00:33:17.960 I heard they're opening a leering driving school now, too.

00:33:21.680 But no, you're absolutely right about the arrests.

00:33:26.100 That's a whole I could spend an hour on and I do all the time.

00:33:28.820 And people like Dan Bongino say you're blackpilling and that they're starting to start a rift between MAGA and the rest.

00:33:35.280 But now there's no there's no rift.

00:33:36.920 The truth of the matter is, is in eight days, it's going to be one year since President Trump has been in office and we had zero arrests.

00:33:43.760 We had two botched indictments of Letitia James and James Comey.

00:33:47.380 Neither of them were perp walk because Mike Davis at the Article three project, who's what does he call him?

00:33:53.020 The self-described viceroy says that it was a clerical error and it was a mistake.

00:33:58.600 Imagine that you've been waiting to indict these people for a year and you made a paperwork issue.

00:34:03.780 We don't believe it.

00:34:04.540 We're not buying it.

00:34:05.600 And I think Pam Bondi is on borrowed time, as she should be.

00:34:09.920 Vanessa, you get the last word here.

00:34:12.300 John, I appreciate everything you're doing.

00:34:14.520 You know, and you asked about mainstream.

00:34:16.440 You said change my mind.

00:34:17.440 Here's the difference between what you and I do versus mainstream.

00:34:20.520 Mainstream obviously doesn't tell the truth.

00:34:22.320 We all know that fake news.

00:34:23.780 That's number one.

00:34:24.480 Number two, they're competing against each other.

00:34:27.040 Right.

00:34:27.740 CBS is competing against NBC, against ABC, against CNN.

00:34:31.860 It's a race to the bottom.

00:34:34.000 Everybody's competing against each other.

00:34:35.380 But what we do, like you come on my show.

00:34:37.520 I come on your show.

00:34:38.400 You need this.

00:34:39.320 Do I need this?

00:34:40.480 We help each other out because that's what's so wonderful about independent journalism and, you know, the LTVs and what you do at the Great America Show.

00:34:48.620 So we want to make America great, keep it great.

00:34:52.420 We want it to be what our founding fathers wanted for this country, what our grandparents, the country they lived in.

00:34:58.880 I want to tell my little boy who's four years old now, hey, this is the best country in the world.

00:35:03.960 And it is.

00:35:05.040 But we have to fight for it every day.

00:35:06.540 But my last words are, I just want to let the American people know, whether you watch, you know, the Great America Show every day, Lindell TV or others, we're all on the same team.

00:35:16.500 And we're really a family.

00:35:17.800 You know, you go to these events.

00:35:19.560 You know, I met you at America Fest last December, Charlie Kirk's Turning Point event.

00:35:26.140 I think we've talked every single day since.

00:35:29.180 I tell you all the time.

00:35:30.200 I tell John all the time.

00:35:31.040 He's my new best friend.

00:35:32.200 But that's what it is.

00:35:33.300 We're not competing.

00:35:34.080 We are a family who are standing with the American people to to tell you the truth, to get the truth out, to demand answers where I guess we're pretty much the voice for the American people and say, what do you want?

00:35:46.280 We understand we're Americans, too, and we're going to fight for you.

00:35:49.100 And we do it as a team.

00:35:50.840 And that's why I love what I do now, Don, because, you know, I feel it's rewarding every day to know that I'm helping.

00:35:59.880 You know, it's a little bit.

00:36:01.560 I don't know.

00:36:02.180 Maybe it's a lot.

00:36:02.840 But we're all helping to better the cause.

00:36:06.140 Yep.

00:36:06.600 You have a great boss in Mike Lindell.

00:36:08.340 I had a terrific boss in Lou Dobbs.

00:36:10.820 And you're absolutely right.

00:36:12.100 There's no competition here.

00:36:13.980 You know, we're all in it for the same fight.

00:36:15.900 And I used to tell Lou all the time.

00:36:18.220 He probably fired me like once a day for like the last five years.

00:36:22.760 You fired.

00:36:23.360 He fired you.

00:36:24.400 He fired.

00:36:25.220 We would fight every day.

00:36:27.340 I loved him to death and he loved me to death.

00:36:30.020 And, you know, he would joke.

00:36:31.480 I'd say, you know, Lou, the day that I think and this is I always had this.

00:36:36.460 When I was at Fox News and I was on television, I had people gunning for me every single way.

00:36:42.380 Why is John on TV every night?

00:36:43.960 John shouldn't be on TV every night.

00:36:45.140 He's not a journalist.

00:36:46.200 He didn't do this.

00:36:47.200 He's a pilot by trade.

00:36:48.480 He went to school to be a pilot.

00:36:49.620 He shouldn't be on TV.

00:36:50.760 And I had arrows coming at me every way.

00:36:52.520 And Lou always had my back.

00:36:53.380 And I said to him, I said, Lou, at any given moment when I'm not the best person doing the job or I'm not doing the best job I should be doing, I deserve to be fired.

00:37:00.900 I deserve to be replaced.

00:37:01.860 And I've always lived by that mantra.

00:37:03.100 And I never looked over my shoulder worrying who was gunning for my job.

00:37:06.040 Because if there was any given point where I realized I wasn't doing a good job, then the next person deserves to have my job.

00:37:12.580 And there are so many people in this fight who are gunning for each other, for views, for this.

00:37:17.240 I have no old ways in this business.

00:37:18.860 Oh, I'm with you 100%.

00:37:20.780 I get the daggers every single day.

00:37:23.140 And I don't care.

00:37:25.380 I really, I have so many people in this business.

00:37:27.700 Brianna Morello, who's on InfraWars.

00:37:29.600 Steven Gardner, YouTube friend.

00:37:30.840 Mark mentioned.

00:37:31.580 I have so many people in this who we're all competition in a way.

00:37:34.080 But we're all friends.

00:37:35.000 And we all help each other out.

00:37:36.480 Because at the end of the day, I have no competition.

00:37:38.420 My only competition is myself.

00:37:40.100 And I'm not saying it out of arrogance.

00:37:42.020 That's just how it is.

00:37:42.980 And that's how it should be.

00:37:44.360 You shouldn't constantly be looking over your shoulder of who's coming for you.

00:37:47.040 Because at any given moment, if you think you're not doing the best job, your viewers are going to let you know that.

00:37:52.080 Not some wannabe journalist.

00:37:54.500 You're absolutely right.

00:37:56.120 Those wannabes. 1.00

00:37:57.720 And, you know, I don't know.

00:38:00.940 At the end of the day, times are changing, John.

00:38:02.940 You know, times are changing.

00:38:03.860 You do have a lot of great social media influencers.

00:38:06.460 For me, I'm old school journalism.

00:38:08.300 I'm not going to tell my age.

00:38:09.660 But I, you know, went to-

00:38:10.760 Hey, how old are you?

00:38:11.520 Just say it.

00:38:12.080 I went to college.

00:38:14.140 I got my degree.

00:38:15.120 Emmy nominated.

00:38:16.220 All the things.

00:38:17.000 Been in mainstream my entire career.

00:38:19.620 I've done it all.

00:38:21.000 Yeah.

00:38:21.260 But I give kudos to the social media influencers who may not have the experience or whatever.

00:38:26.860 But they're turning great stories.

00:38:28.540 Look, Nick Sorter.

00:38:29.720 You know?

00:38:30.200 I mean, we just talked about Nick.

00:38:31.500 They're turning great stories.

00:38:32.640 Look at Nick Shirley.

00:38:34.140 Yep.

00:38:34.540 He uncovered a lot of this Minnesota fraud.

00:38:37.060 They're doing great things.

00:38:38.140 It's the people who want to fight for cliques and aren't telling the truth.

00:38:42.480 But, you know, with us, I love that we're able to get the truth out every day to the

00:38:46.400 American people.

00:38:47.080 I love the American people for following us.

00:38:49.940 It's been a great ride, John.

00:38:51.840 You know, I've been in the political game.

00:38:53.440 I left mainstream after George Floyd in 2020.

00:38:57.140 I left the mainstream media and I went to Right Side Broadcasting Network, jumped on the

00:39:03.780 campaign trail with President Trump, and it has been the most wonderful ride.

00:39:06.960 Like I said earlier, it's rewarding every day to fight for what you believe in, and that's

00:39:12.040 your faith, your family, and your freedom.

00:39:14.180 Yeah.

00:39:14.580 You mentioned Nick Shirley.

00:39:15.840 I loved him.

00:39:16.700 When he came out with that video, he was like, man, I don't know what they think they're going

00:39:20.620 to get me on.

00:39:21.260 I'm 23 years old.

00:39:22.220 I'm a virgin.

00:39:23.420 I'm a follower of Jesus Christ.

00:39:25.160 Like, you guys. 1.00

00:39:26.300 And I'm like, damn, man. 0.99

00:39:27.640 We need more of that in America. 0.99

00:39:29.160 I was like, when I was 23 years old, man, there were people who could just say, oh, they

00:39:32.900 could get all this crazy stuff.

00:39:34.640 I've lived a crazy life.

00:39:36.540 Well, I'm glad they didn't have social media when you were 23 years old.

00:39:39.700 It started developing as I was getting older, and I've always been terrible with social media.

00:39:43.720 I'm like the prime example of someone who shouldn't have social media because I say

00:39:46.900 things when I get heated, and I'm like, oh, I shouldn't have said that.

00:39:49.960 But I'm like, you know what?

00:39:50.600 I already said it, so it's too late.

00:39:52.340 But, you know, it's interesting.

00:39:53.680 It's nice that we live in a world where, you know, we could be free to say what we want,

00:39:57.860 and that's the great thing about America.
