00:00:00.000 Hello, everybody, and welcome to the Great America Show.
00:00:05.300 Thank you so much for joining us tonight.
00:00:07.260 We're doing things a little bit differently tonight.
00:00:08.960 We're going live.
00:00:10.220 So we're live right now.
00:00:11.460 If you're joining us on YouTube, Rumble, Facebook, Twitter,
00:00:15.100 wherever you guys are tuning in from, we appreciate you joining us.
00:00:17.540 Any questions, comments, concerns, anything like that,
00:00:21.460 leave them in the chat box and we'll get to your questions.
00:00:24.620 In just a few moments, we have a stacked lineup for you tonight.
00:00:27.660 In just a few moments, we're going to be joined by the great Mark Mitchell
00:00:31.560 of Rasmussen Reports, Leo the Lion, the founder of the Rhinel Removal Project,
00:00:37.420 and then we're going to be joined later in the show by John Bachman,
00:00:39.820 Newsmax host, good friend of mine, to break down all that's going on
00:00:44.400 with Ukraine, the world, and the theme of tonight's show is going to be
00:00:48.820 populism, the populists versus the globalists,
00:00:51.320 because I think that's where we're at right now in our country.
00:00:54.440 We're at an inception point, and only one side can win.
00:00:58.200 You had Vladimir Zelensky come to America last week
00:01:01.580 and completely disrespect this country, disrespect our leaders,
00:01:05.180 Donald J. Trump, J.D. Vance.
00:01:07.400 Now, you have mixed reactions from both sides.
00:01:10.440 Some say it was planned.
00:01:11.600 He came and he planned on doing that, making a show,
00:01:15.280 knowing he was going to Europe and going to Britain afterwards
00:01:18.880 to go get that money that he wound up ultimately getting from them.
00:01:22.620 But I think, in my opinion, very uncalculated.
00:01:25.900 Let's take a listen, just a short clip of what he did, his little charade he did.
00:01:30.320 He apparently thought he was still in the acting business.
00:01:32.660 Your country is in big trouble.
00:01:34.040 Can I ask?
00:01:34.800 No, no.
00:01:35.160 You've done a lot of talking.
00:01:36.580 Your country is in big trouble.
00:01:38.420 I know.
00:01:39.140 You're not winning.
00:01:39.800 I know.
00:01:40.080 You're not winning this.
00:01:41.400 You have a damn good chance of coming out okay because of us.
00:01:44.820 We are staying, Mr. President.
00:01:45.560 We are staying in our country, staying strong from the very beginning of the war.
00:01:49.560 We've been alone, and we are thankful.
00:01:51.500 I said thanks in this cabinet and all that in this cabinet.
00:01:54.880 We gave you, through the stupid president, $350 billion.
00:01:59.300 We gave you military equipment, and you men are brave, but they had to use our military.
00:02:04.540 If you didn't have our military equipment, this war would have been over in two weeks.
00:02:13.040 So, it makes you wonder.
00:02:15.680 Donald Trump negotiated sort of a ceasefire with Russia, with Vladimir Putin, where the
00:02:21.060 bullets would stop flying.
00:02:22.860 Ukraine would essentially be able to go back to normal life, all in turn for signing over
00:02:28.720 a mineral deal.
00:02:29.480 Now, it gets very complicated.
00:02:31.060 A good friend of mine and a friend of the show, Tony Schafer, former lieutenant colonel,
00:02:35.660 broke some news the other day that apparently two days before the inauguration of Donald J.
00:02:39.780 Trump, Zelensky signed a mineral deal right with Britain.
00:02:45.760 So, that poses a very big issue.
00:02:47.660 He's planning on coming to America to sign this deal when he's already apparently signed
00:02:51.520 one.
00:02:51.760 Now, the reporting's unconfirmed, but if he did do that, that's going to be a very big
00:02:55.700 issue for Zelensky.
00:02:57.220 Donald Trump's patience is running very, very thin with this short little dictator.
00:03:03.140 He is a dictator.
00:03:04.100 There's no other way to put it.
00:03:05.400 Zelensky apparently saying just this afternoon that the end of the war with Russia is, quote,
00:03:11.140 very, very far away.
00:03:12.660 Donald Trump not reacting too happily to that news.
00:03:17.460 Posting on Truth Social, quote, this is the worst statement that could have been made by
00:03:20.700 Zelensky, and America will not put up with it much longer.
00:03:24.340 It is what I was saying.
00:03:25.320 The guy doesn't want to be there to be peace as long as America is backing and Europe in
00:03:29.800 the meeting.
00:03:30.580 They had Zelensky started flatly that they cannot do the job without the U.S.
00:03:35.480 Probably not a great statement to have been made in terms of show of strength against Russia.
00:03:39.760 What are they thinking?
00:03:40.760 And I think that's what a lot of us are thinking.
00:03:42.520 What exactly is Zelensky thinking?
00:03:44.920 What's his rationale and what is his ultimate motive?
00:03:48.000 Does he want the war to end?
00:03:49.240 He's told us time and time again he wants the war to end, but it doesn't seem that's what
00:03:53.620 he wants.
00:03:54.700 He came to America with nothing but malice.
00:03:57.060 He came to put on a show in front of the American media, and the credit to them, much of the
00:04:03.420 mainstream media didn't bite to this numbskull of Zelensky, because that's exactly what he
00:04:08.720 is.
00:04:09.520 Donald Trump, rightfully so, threw him out of the White House, skipped lunch, and instead
00:04:12.920 fed the lunch to his employees in America, the White House employees.
00:04:17.560 So good on Donald Trump.
00:04:18.400 So with such mixed reaction in America, with the whole Ukraine, America, and Russia thing,
00:04:26.580 I want to bring in our guest who's done extensive polling on all of this.
00:04:30.760 He's the great, the great Mark Mitchell, as I call him, Mr. Rasmussen himself.
00:04:36.720 Mark Rasmussen.
00:04:37.820 Call me that.
00:04:38.940 Who cares about Mitchells?
00:04:42.440 Marcus, it's great to have you with us tonight.
00:04:44.480 I always enjoy our insightful talks, and we can go on for hours and hours and bore the
00:04:50.440 hell out of people for hours.
00:04:52.220 What's your thoughts on this whole Zelensky charades?
00:04:56.100 I mean, it's almost like he thinks he's back in his acting career.
00:05:00.440 Yeah.
00:05:02.420 Talk about somebody who's unable to control their appearance.
00:05:06.760 That had to.
00:05:07.620 Maybe he was doing it on purpose.
00:05:08.980 Maybe it was coordinated.
00:05:09.940 Maybe he was talking to people and trying to move the goalposts live on TV.
00:05:15.100 I've heard people say that that might be what they think he was doing.
00:05:20.360 But the ambassador to Ukraine knew what was happening there.
00:05:24.620 She knew what was happening.
00:05:25.960 That's it.
00:05:26.740 This is done.
00:05:27.980 We're dead.
00:05:28.820 There's no chance now because they have no chance.
00:05:31.880 And I'll tell you, the polling has been all over the place.
00:05:33.900 Ukraine is one of those ones because of the empathy aspect, because there are so many
00:05:39.220 neoconservatives, because, you know, just 20 years ago, the U.S. did project a lot of
00:05:46.120 force overseas, and a lot of people supported it.
00:05:48.940 That is still hanging over American public opinion like a poll.
00:05:52.980 So a lot of people wanted us to help Ukraine out.
00:05:56.100 But what they've overwhelmingly told us time and time again over the last year or two,
00:06:01.480 that this is a stalemate now, and it's unwinnable for Ukraine.
00:06:04.860 So it's been a public opinion stalemate, too, until maybe, I don't know, we're going to see
00:06:09.880 some big happenings.
00:06:11.020 It's like all of a sudden, everything's moving super fast.
00:06:13.860 And Donald Trump has a really great opportunity to pivot on this.
00:06:18.360 It was like handed to him on a silver platter, because we have all the optics of Zelensky just
00:06:23.680 acting ungrateful and being disrespectful.
00:06:26.600 And so who knows what we're going to see?
00:06:28.400 Maybe we'll see it tomorrow.
00:06:30.360 You know, it's funny, Mark, is you often you don't often see the shoe on the other foot.
00:06:34.500 In other words, Donald Trump has always looked at the villain, right?
00:06:37.960 Some times it's right.
00:06:39.680 And it's rightfully so, because he's standing up for America.
00:06:42.080 But nonetheless, he's always looked at as the bad guy.
00:06:44.460 He's always looked at as the gangster.
00:06:45.740 He's always looked at as a tough guy, whatever way you want to look at it.
00:06:48.720 Mainstream media and the Marxist left.
00:06:49.880 But this numbskull, Mark, comes to America, all four foot five of him, and comes here
00:06:55.820 and starts barking orders, sitting there speaking.
00:06:59.420 The most disrespectful thing you can do, Mark, is over talk somebody.
00:07:02.820 In the Oval Office, you come there and you start over talking J.D. Vance.
00:07:06.520 You start over talking the president of the United States.
00:07:09.300 I don't think it was a very good appearance for him, even in the eyes, Mark, of the mainstream
00:07:14.500 media, of these Marxist leftists.
00:07:16.840 I don't see them going out there.
00:07:18.080 I don't watch Fox News.
00:07:18.960 I don't watch Newsmax.
00:07:20.780 I don't watch OAN.
00:07:21.500 I watch MSNBC and I watch CNN because I like to see what they're talking about.
00:07:24.840 I like to see the you say that in public.
00:07:26.940 Yeah, because you know what?
00:07:28.120 I want to see what they're doing.
00:07:29.900 I they give me ammunition.
00:07:31.380 OK, if I'm listening to Fox News, I'm just listening to the same circle jerk back.
00:07:36.320 And hey, you're right about this.
00:07:37.720 No, you're right.
00:07:38.520 No, no, you're right.
00:07:39.460 I don't want to listen to that.
00:07:40.600 I want to listen to the discourse.
00:07:41.820 I want to listen to these people arguing and see where they're at on all of it.
00:07:45.520 You don't even hear them, Mark, trying to defend Zelensky, whereas a year ago he was the modern day Winston Churchill.
00:07:53.760 Yeah, I think, you know, they've been caught flat footed by this utter shift in the media landscape.
00:07:59.620 This happened at 11 a.m., I think, 12, you know, noon, whatever.
00:08:04.000 And, you know, they're slicing and dicing to get some kind of super edited clip to Rachel Maddow.
00:08:08.700 But America pretty much figured out, in my opinion, what the hell happened by about dinner time.
00:08:13.980 And so how can you even keep up with that?
00:08:16.220 There's not enough time to do show prep and get the lies out and get your CIA talking points.
00:08:20.440 And so I think, you know, that's great.
00:08:23.500 Public opinion in the aggregate is going to be judged on actually what really happened instead of selectively edited clips.
00:08:30.940 I mean, that's absolutely incredible.
00:08:33.440 And, yeah, he was a no I mean, what he you could really see the emotional trigger.
00:08:37.340 He like flipped out when Donald Trump said you're not winning.
00:08:40.060 And that's what it comes down to, is that I missed the formal treaty where we became Ukraine's ally ally.
00:08:47.620 They're not a part of NATO and they have totally different aims than us.
00:08:51.900 And their aim is to use our wealth and blood to regain the land that they lost to Russia.
00:08:58.140 And it's like Trump knows that we're not.
00:09:02.500 That's untenable for us.
00:09:04.060 And when Zelensky, it's like, no, he's not ready, you know, kick him out, put him on the step like a like a toddler, like an unruly toddler that did something bad.
00:09:13.340 He's got to go on the step.
00:09:14.880 You can't get off.
00:09:16.260 You can't get off until you acknowledge what you did and apologize.
00:09:19.820 And I think that's what Trump is waiting for.
00:09:22.900 And that's how you fix them.
00:09:24.500 I laugh at this, Mark, because this is telling me exactly how you discipline your children.
00:09:29.440 So, yeah, they've got to learn their lesson.
00:09:32.620 So, start young.
00:09:34.540 You're very firm.
00:09:35.800 You're not abusive.
00:09:37.260 No, you did this.
00:09:38.060 This is wrong.
00:09:38.680 This is not the standards we have.
00:09:40.560 If you want to get back into good graces.
00:09:42.960 And that's what Trump did.
00:09:44.020 He said he's not ready for war.
00:09:45.760 He's he.
00:09:47.340 I don't even think he's going to invite him back into the White House.
00:09:49.860 And now all of a sudden you have Zelensky out there signaling that maybe he's ready to sign the agreement.
00:09:54.340 Maybe you shouldn't assign that agreement with UK or whatever the heck that was.
00:09:58.240 That's true.
00:09:58.840 We need some answers about that.
00:10:00.440 Yeah.
00:10:00.780 Yeah, you're absolutely right.
00:10:01.640 Over in the Rumble chat, one of our favorite guests, Kelly Song, says, this just put a smile on my face.
00:10:06.800 John and Mark.
00:10:08.000 Glad we can do that, Kelly.
00:10:09.500 There's probably double or triple the amount of people out there who have a frown on their face from looking at Mark and myself.
00:10:17.440 Fall girl, even Magna Patriots.
00:10:19.760 Good evening to you.
00:10:21.120 Like I said, folks, we're live.
00:10:22.320 So, any questions you have for Mark, any questions you have for myself, you know, feel free.
00:10:26.880 We're open books.
00:10:27.640 We're not charging you.
00:10:30.180 So, shoot away and have some fun.
00:10:32.560 Over on Facebook, Carl Grady, little Justin Trudeau has come to the rescue.
00:10:36.340 He announced a few days ago that Canada will sell off five to six billion of seized Russian assets.
00:10:42.160 Have you heard of that, Mark?
00:10:44.260 No, I think they're all coming out there and ponying up their next buck of five.
00:10:48.020 I think the UK just committed another three billion.
00:10:50.400 We'll see.
00:10:53.200 I mean, I think the problem is, is that they're starting to scrape the barrel with their manpower.
00:10:57.300 I think, to be honest with you, we should probably get everybody talks about an accounting of all the money that the U.S. has spent over there.
00:11:03.500 I think we wanted an accounting of their male population, because if we're going to get involved in security guarantees, we have to know how ready they are to fight.
00:11:10.580 And I was asking Grok, and I'll tell you what, Grok thinks that Ukraine has lost more military-aged males to flight, by far, than to casualties of war.
00:11:21.200 So, that would be awful horrible to send a couple hundred thousand U.S. troops over there and get involved in World War III, have thousands of Americans die in the mud.
00:11:29.640 When all the Ukrainians came over here, due to our open borders and, you know, amnesty programs, it's really demented.
00:11:37.460 It's literally like, Mark, this is like two children on the playground fighting over a toy, and then you having to call the president of the United States to come in and settle this dispute.
00:11:47.500 Like, it's so ridiculous and stupid.
00:11:50.360 Whatever you want to look at it, $350 billion, $150 billion, the total of it is well over $300 billion, if you put the cash and the assets that we've sent over to them.
00:11:59.640 Mark, they have absolutely nothing to show for it.
00:12:01.860 Now, Tucker Carlson came out the other day, and I don't know if this is true or not, but he says that Ukraine, and apparently Lindsey Graham knows about this,
00:12:09.880 Ukraine has been selling our weapons that we're giving them.
00:12:14.020 And you and I were talking about this on the phone the other day, today, actually, about the depletion of our stockpile.
00:12:19.600 And I asked you, as a former military guy, is there an expiration date on missiles, or is there an expiration date on ammunition that I don't know about,
00:12:27.260 that we have some reason, you know, I've emptied out our closets, like, you know, going at a business sale?
00:12:33.900 And you told me, no, there's no expiration on it.
00:12:36.120 So we don't even really know what these weapons have been used for, where they've been used.
00:12:40.660 Now, Tucker Carlson comes out and tells us that maybe they're being sold to Hamas, bad actors who hate Americans, who want to kill Americans.
00:12:52.400 That's an act of war in my book, Mark.
00:12:56.020 Yeah, oh, absolutely, 100%.
00:12:58.000 I think any one of these things that we're seeing is reason to step away from this whole fiasco.
00:13:03.780 You know, like, even, I'll tell you the big problem is, let's say we do a deal with Zelensky, we go over there, there's a non-zero chance we're going to get a false flag.
00:13:11.860 We're going to get some barracks blown up, and now all of a sudden, here we are committed to Russia.
00:13:16.140 Because what Zelensky wants is to regain that territory.
00:13:19.640 It's not in the best interest of America for that to happen, because it requires us, or basically all of the men in Germany, England, Canada combined, I guess.
00:13:28.960 But, you know, it's a different world.
00:13:31.900 They poked the bear, and now Donald Trump's in charge, and everybody should have seen this coming.
00:13:36.540 And if Zelensky can't, maybe, like, fire your consultants, dude.
00:13:39.880 Yeah, and you know what Donald Trump has done, because today he met with his cabinet,
00:13:44.380 and he wants to figure out how to cut any aid that we have that's set to go into effect to Ukraine,
00:13:50.220 and any further aid that is scheduled to go into effect he wants to cut.
00:13:54.480 He's also reportedly this evening, this might be some breaking news, has halted the weapon sales, any weapon sales to Ukraine.
00:14:02.600 So now that makes you wonder a little bit more if what Tucker Carlson is reporting about them selling our weapons to other countries is true.
00:14:11.020 I don't know how Ukraine gets out of this.
00:14:13.240 I've been saying since probably August that I think eventually we see Zelensky flee Ukraine with a duffel bag of money,
00:14:20.900 never to be seen again where he goes, maybe Qatar, maybe one of those places down in the Middle East where he'll be safe.
00:14:27.900 But how do you think this ends for Zelensky?
00:14:31.920 I really don't know.
00:14:33.300 He's a dictator, right?
00:14:34.760 You don't round up people and throw them into vans.
00:14:37.140 He actually, he had a quote that blew my mind.
00:14:41.160 It was a while ago, maybe a couple of days ago in the paper.
00:14:44.340 And he said, listen, I suspended my elections, but I'm not going to stay in power for decades.
00:14:51.560 Oh, how magnanimous of you.
00:14:53.260 So we're funding somebody that thinks that staying in power for decades is on the table.
00:14:59.420 And maybe that's what they want, the forever war to fight against Russia.
00:15:03.660 But I think I think that it's done like we're out and he would have to come crawling back on his knees.
00:15:09.920 And even if, you know, Valerie Jarrett or Victoria Nuland or whoever is talking to him says, yeah, OK, you should do that.
00:15:18.960 Like, is he capable of it?
00:15:20.360 Trump's just going to jab him again and his head's going to pop and he's going to fly off the handle.
00:15:24.140 Probably.
00:15:24.940 I don't know if he's capable of it.
00:15:27.740 We are his patron.
00:15:29.000 Like, that's it.
00:15:29.920 A lot of people ponied up, but it wasn't possible without America.
00:15:34.800 We shouldn't have done it.
00:15:35.680 Should have been actually we should have negotiated this while Russia had its equipment sitting on the border for a month.
00:15:41.600 Yeah.
00:15:41.900 Remember, there was like a month where we saw satellite pictures of the force getting larger and larger.
00:15:46.960 Joe Biden refused to talk to Vladimir Putin.
00:15:50.220 Yep.
00:15:50.980 So at this point, it's like nobody's reclaiming lost territory.
00:15:55.640 It's all going to happen at the table.
00:15:57.340 We're not going to be on the hook for security guarantees.
00:15:59.560 So you don't have any cards.
00:16:02.020 Right.
00:16:02.520 Stop gambling with World War three.
00:16:03.940 Trump called it like he saw it.
00:16:05.680 He took it very literal when he when Donald Trump said the cards aren't in your favor.
00:16:10.560 And then he goes out there and he starts tweeting at everybody saying, thank you.
00:16:14.300 Thank you for your contribution.
00:16:16.220 Thank you for your contribution.
00:16:18.300 It's it's a losing proposition.
00:16:20.560 If Vladimir Zelensky doesn't realize Donald Trump literally wiped out half of our political sphere, Mark.
00:16:26.340 In 2016, he got a 16 career politicians off a stage when everybody said nobody can do it.
00:16:32.920 Two weeks before the election or a month before the election, the Access Hollywood tape comes out.
00:16:37.860 Everyone says he's done.
00:16:39.400 By the way, one of the only people to come to his defense on.
00:16:42.160 I think he actually was the only person to come to his defense was Lou Dobbs, who stayed behind him.
00:16:46.780 Hannity, they all ran the Access Hollywood tape.
00:16:49.360 He's done.
00:16:49.780 He's done.
00:16:50.160 He's done.
00:16:50.900 Lou Dobbs stayed behind him and had his back.
00:16:54.160 They've written this guy off, Mark, at every single point.
00:16:57.080 Twenty twenty.
00:16:58.000 After he loses it, the party's got to move on.
00:17:00.380 Adam Kinzinger and Liz Liz Cheney, they're the new face of the party.
00:17:04.400 This is where we're going to be moving.
00:17:06.260 By the way, we're going to be joined in just a few moments by Leo the Lion.
00:17:10.740 He runs Rhino Removal Project.
00:17:13.600 We all hate rhinos and we've got to get rid of them.
00:17:16.240 But before we get to that, you've got Adam Kinzinger.
00:17:20.320 He's got his name is like some Ukrainian name on his Twitter page.
00:17:23.660 Are these people are they on the payroll, Mark, or are they just useful, useless idiots, I guess?
00:17:30.060 It's a conglomerate of people who their best interest is in maintaining the kleptocratic status quo.
00:17:37.020 Some of the people are on USAID payrolls.
00:17:39.600 Maybe it's been cut.
00:17:40.580 Maybe they want to get that money back.
00:17:42.860 Then some of them are probably complicit in crimes and they're trying to create a unified front.
00:17:48.560 Other people are suck ups.
00:17:50.600 But what they're all willing to do is subjugate reality in order to perpetuate this farce.
00:17:57.000 And the people have woken up.
00:17:58.360 That's why Joe Biden would have lost big and why Kamala Harris lost the farce of clown world.
00:18:04.640 Like literally for four years, the government pissed on us and said it was raining and people are done.
00:18:10.340 Now, listen, I'll tell you, right, you know, I'll point to an example here.
00:18:13.740 People have a very low opinion of Vladimir Putin, but they don't really care about this whole Russia thing that much.
00:18:21.640 This is a group of people, only 30% trust the federal government.
00:18:26.160 Who's the biggest enemy America currently faces?
00:18:28.740 Iran, China, Russia.
00:18:30.880 You know, the big three.
00:18:32.420 We didn't have room to put North Korea in there.
00:18:34.480 Or the Democrat Party, Republican Party or domestic extremists.
00:18:38.500 You know who gets number one?
00:18:40.460 China?
00:18:41.240 Iran?
00:18:41.800 No.
00:18:43.740 Keep guessing.
00:18:44.220 China, Iran, Russia.
00:18:47.320 Who was the other one?
00:18:49.420 The Republican Party, the Democrat Party.
00:18:51.760 Oh, my goodness.
00:18:52.900 The Democrat Party.
00:18:53.780 It's got to be the Democrat Party.
00:18:55.520 So we've asked this a bunch of times.
00:18:57.500 And China used to win.
00:18:59.360 But now in the last two years, the Democrat Party wins.
00:19:02.060 This one was the combined 10 battleground states in September, but we asked it and got an even higher number recently.
00:19:08.100 But 24 people or 24% of people said the Democrat Party, followed by 20% China, followed by 18% Republican Party, followed by 13% domestic extremists, followed by 12% Russia.
00:19:24.000 So Russia is like not even the top three.
00:19:26.640 It's five.
00:19:27.400 It's five people down the list.
00:19:28.820 And what's really hilarious is looking at it by, like, what cable TV news channel that people trust.
00:19:35.700 What is it?
00:19:37.200 Newsmax.
00:19:38.040 Here's Newsmax, people.
00:19:40.240 56% Democrat Party.
00:19:42.740 26% China.
00:19:45.220 7% Iran.
00:19:47.500 3% Russia.
00:19:49.280 3%.
00:19:50.200 3%.
00:19:51.200 So that's a really strong showing, Newsmax.
00:19:54.260 If you're a Newsmax enjoyer, pat yourself on the back.
00:19:57.040 Like, we've got John Bachman joining us in the second half of the show.
00:20:01.560 You've got to bookmark that, Mark, and bring that up with John.
00:20:05.040 Oh, I'll keep this up.
00:20:06.500 Because we have an entire set of polls that we asked in these battleground states.
00:20:11.120 And for every single one of them, we have the news demographic breakdown.
00:20:14.420 It's pretty hilarious.
00:20:16.020 Fox News, only 11% said Russia.
00:20:18.540 But even, like, MSNBC, it was only 13%.
00:20:21.360 Because they're too busy saying Republicans, 43%.
00:20:24.520 It's really wild.
00:20:26.280 I mean, what is the threat of the...
00:20:29.780 This is something maybe you can answer for me, because I don't get it.
00:20:32.200 What is the threat of the Republican Party?
00:20:34.340 What have they done, Mark, that's so bad?
00:20:36.560 Like, what is the premise of these Marxists?
00:20:39.820 What's their premise that Republicans are so bad for the country?
00:20:42.680 Donald Trump's first four years in office, he did absolutely nothing that would point the country in the wrong direction.
00:20:49.640 Now, some would say he started an insurrection and, you know, all that good stuff.
00:20:54.520 But other than that, for the previous four years, they couldn't name one bad thing that Donald Trump did for the country.
00:21:01.920 You know, if you asked one of these Marxists, which I often, you know, get them coming up to me when I wear my Trump hat out,
00:21:08.180 they'll say he's a racist, a xenophobe, a misogynist.
00:21:11.380 And then you ask them what he is, why he's that.
00:21:15.260 You'll say, why is he a racist?
00:21:16.520 What makes him a racist?
00:21:17.440 And then they'll say, well, no, he's a xenophobe.
00:21:19.720 What makes him xenophobic?
00:21:21.000 He's a fascist.
00:21:22.520 You know, they can't explain what their rationale is.
00:21:25.980 What is their hatred for this man?
00:21:30.140 It's an emotional conditioning.
00:21:33.340 They've been told that they need to band together.
00:21:36.560 They need to protect our democracy.
00:21:39.660 Look at it this way.
00:21:40.500 But that same question, who's America's biggest enemy?
00:21:44.480 The number one group of people who say the Republican Party are people who identify as very liberal.
00:21:49.080 So that makes sense.
00:21:50.300 The next highest one is people who say the number one issue for this election was protecting our democracy.
00:21:56.060 Protecting our democracy is the number one issue for half of people who watch MSNBC.
00:22:00.380 So it is literally it's the hey, I need to put a sign on my yard.
00:22:06.120 I need to have the peace symbol flying right next to the Ukrainian flag.
00:22:10.000 Damn the paradox.
00:22:11.400 Right.
00:22:11.800 I need to have a coexist sticker on my car.
00:22:15.180 But if I see your little kid with a MAGA hat, I'm absolutely going to fly off the handle, you know, and then I'm going to go home and stroke a bald spot in the top of my cat and worship Rachel Maddow.
00:22:26.540 This is what we're up against.
00:22:28.100 It really is crazy.
00:22:29.280 Oh, boy, the coexist sticker.
00:22:31.660 I was waiting for you to say the coexist sticker on the back of the Subaru.
00:22:34.540 That's like the most common one I see.
00:22:36.580 Yeah, they're the people that hate Trump most.
00:22:38.900 Definitely the coexist people.
00:22:40.460 I want you to do a poll for me, Mark.
00:22:42.220 I want you to find out the number one most driven car by a liberal.
00:22:47.080 I would bet it's some sort of Subaru.
00:22:50.040 I don't know what it is.
00:22:51.620 I'm not saying people who Subaru are bad drivers, but they're bad drivers.
00:22:54.880 But I'm just so curious because you see him constantly on the highway and nine out of ten of the coexist stickers, Mark, are either on a Toyota Yaris or a Prius or a Subaru, some sort of Subaru station wagon thing.
00:23:08.940 One of those station wagons.
00:23:11.340 But they constantly want to talk about threats to democracy, Mark.
00:23:14.040 Now, the Republicans, there are Republicans and they're rhinos.
00:23:16.600 Like I said, we're going to be joined by Leo, the line in just a few moments here to take up what we're going to do to extinguish, get rid of these rhinos and send them off into extinction.
00:23:26.540 But the Democrats are the ones, Mark, who are constantly under these investigations, these federal investigations.
00:23:31.720 You've got the guy down in Texas, the congressman, him and his wife, Rob.
00:23:35.040 You've got Mayor Eric Adams, who had a beg and plead and offer up migrants as a way to get out of his legal issues.
00:23:42.140 We now find out Kathy Hochul, who was holding his feet to the fire, received union help for a rigging bid of a nine billion dollars for a home health aid program.
00:23:51.240 So it's you look at Nancy Pelosi's stock portfolio.
00:23:55.220 Now, she's up there with Dan Crenshaw and a rhino who's like I said, we have him on both sides.
00:24:01.000 But overwhelming me, you have the Democrats who undermine democracy.
00:24:05.220 You've got Jabal Bowman, who pulled a fire alarm in Congress last year to delay a vote.
00:24:09.820 OK, anybody else does that, they're going to jail.
00:24:12.920 OK, it's a false alarm.
00:24:14.860 How about a threat to democracy, Mark?
00:24:17.440 When did Kamala Harris get voted in as the 2024 nominee by her peers?
00:24:24.260 When when did that happen?
00:24:25.500 Did we miss that by any chance?
00:24:27.640 So you want to talk about threats to democracy.
00:24:29.680 Yet Donald Trump has time and time again went through every single hoop the right way.
00:24:34.120 He's done everything legitimately.
00:24:35.860 But yet he's the man who's the threat to our democracy.
00:24:38.520 He's the man who's going to destroy this country.
00:24:40.840 He's the man who's a dictator.
00:24:42.800 Make that make sense.
00:24:45.160 There is a counterrevolution going on right now, and it's not Republicans taking over and supplanting entrenched Democrats.
00:24:54.060 It's not conservatives versus liberals.
00:24:57.000 It's literally like reality versus a fake reality constructed by weak minds.
00:25:02.140 That's literally what it is.
00:25:03.580 And I think they're very capable of ignoring facts that fact sets that are like the mask people, like the whole mask thing and the fact that they did it ubiquitously and still do many of them.
00:25:17.960 I think it's like, show me on the doll where January 6th touched you.
00:25:23.320 I think that's really where it came from.
00:25:25.440 And then the mainstream media didn't care.
00:25:28.460 They needed something to bang the drum on for all of Biden's presidency.
00:25:32.900 And the first time around with Trump, it was J6 or not J6, a Russian hoax.
00:25:37.700 And so they needed something else.
00:25:38.840 And this is what they used.
00:25:39.840 And it was almost reflexively, I think, like, probably cynically, many of them probably didn't think it would take Trump out.
00:25:46.100 And it turned out being actually pretty effective at getting Trump's campaign back on track, the indictments and the criminal court proceedings.
00:25:53.640 So at this point, it's almost like instinct.
00:25:56.660 They're just operating based on the only playbook they have, and it's failing for them.
00:26:00.820 They're losing things now, time and time again.
00:26:03.640 It's getting worse and worse.
00:26:05.120 And they still have true believers, but I think there's less of them.
00:26:07.980 And now at some point, the party is just going to eat itself apart.
00:26:12.160 I think we saw an article.
00:26:15.040 It was in the Politico.
00:26:17.540 It just came out yesterday talking about how a group of centrist Democrats are trying to silence the crazies within their own party.
00:26:26.180 That's great.
00:26:27.080 Like, that's what you'd expect.
00:26:28.520 But we don't know where this is going.
00:26:30.520 We don't want that to happen.
00:26:31.640 We want them to.
00:26:32.680 For years, Mark, Republicans had so much infighting in their party.
00:26:36.060 And actually, I want to take a break because I want to take this up with Leo on the other side of this break.
00:26:40.120 But for years, you've had fighting in the Republican Party.
00:26:43.320 It's embarrassing.
00:26:44.420 It's embarrassing on the world stage.
00:26:46.280 It's embarrassing for our party that we just can't seem to get it together.
00:26:49.400 And it's because of outlying rhinos who just cause total corruption and chaos.
00:26:53.960 For the first time, Mark, in my lifetime, we're watching the Democrats at war with themselves.
00:26:59.940 Do you know how enjoyable this is to watch?
00:27:03.080 Because you've got these Marxist lunatics on one end, and then you've got these people who want to be centrists, but they can't because they're dragged down now by Nancy Pelosi.
00:27:13.400 They're dragged down by the Kamala Harris's of the party, tampon Tim Waltz, who wants to run for president in 2028.
00:27:20.300 They're dragging these people down, and I think they're going down a path that we're – it's just not really sustainable.
00:27:26.440 We're taking a quick break here.
00:27:27.480 We're coming right back with Mark Mitchell.
00:27:28.920 We're also going to be joined by Leo the Lion on the other side of this break.
00:27:32.240 He's got a new project he's going to come tell us about, the Rhino Removal Project.
00:27:36.520 It's got a nice ring to it.
00:27:37.300 We're coming right back.
00:27:37.920 Stay with me.

00:29:14.820 I want to bring in Mark.
00:29:15.640 I want to bring in Leo the Lion now and get this conversation going with where we sit with the rhinos.
00:29:21.680 Leo, it's great for you to join us today.
00:29:23.000 Thanks so much.
00:29:24.320 Hey, John.
00:29:24.820 Thanks for having me.
00:29:25.720 It's good to see you, Mark.
00:29:27.060 Yeah, good to see you, too.
00:29:28.840 So I want to talk about rhinos.
00:29:30.740 Obviously, it's something you've been fighting for, fighting against.
00:29:35.460 Mark polls on them.
00:29:37.840 Tell us what your whole project is about, what you hope to accomplish, and how you're going to raise money to do this.
00:29:45.400 So, John, we're a grassroots political organization solely focused on removing rhinos.
00:29:51.020 We want to be Trump's ultimate tool of accountability, a precision strike force aimed at rhinos who dare to obstruct the America First, MAGA, MAHA movement.
00:30:03.520 Now, how do we do that?
00:30:06.920 Many different ways.
00:30:08.220 So we're a national organization who's trying to put a name on the rhino.
00:30:12.980 We want to educate voters because, believe it or not, a lot of people don't quite understand what a rhino is.
00:30:20.460 And Democrats, Mark and I have talked about this many times back even before the election started.
00:30:27.320 Democrats, I believe, have killed themselves by going so progressive.
00:30:30.980 But Republicans, because of the infighting, because of the establishment, the neocons, the rhinos have taken a central hold of the party.
00:30:42.720 Now, Trump is a force of nature.
00:30:44.340 He's come in and completely obliterated that.
00:30:46.920 So with his sacrifices and everything he's done, the Rhino Removal Project wants to function as his resource.
00:30:55.160 And we want to go after strategic rhinos.
00:30:57.960 And we'll do that through education, identifying strong primary challengers, creating a state-specific focus.
00:31:07.640 So we're national, but we want to go into the states with what we call state chapter leads because we want state-specific political environment experts.
00:31:18.840 Interesting.
00:31:19.540 Mark, do you have any thoughts?
00:31:21.660 No, I think it's highly needed.
00:31:24.100 I think what's interesting is that just in the last month, we now understand the calculus of one of the main reasons we have rhinos.
00:31:31.880 It turns out you can't be in D.C. for more than a few years without getting onto the probably most likely FBI-led grift funnel and become a U.S. AIDS recipient or victim.
00:31:46.880 And all of a sudden, you behave like Mitt Romney does, inexplicably voted to impeach Donald Trump and destroyed his favorability, making him the least favorable politician of anyone we polled.
00:32:01.020 He did that.
00:32:02.580 Why?
00:32:03.160 It makes no sense.
00:32:04.660 And so time and time again, you see, and again, it's because I think taxpayer money was weaponized to enable this entire oppression that we have.
00:32:14.500 Democrats vote lockstep and block on dogmatic things that make absolutely no sense.
00:32:20.500 And Republicans are always breaking.
00:32:23.440 And it's because I think a lot of them get paid.
00:32:26.040 There's only one way to get rid of them all.
00:32:29.260 Got to get them out.
00:32:31.020 So that brings up an interesting point.
00:32:33.120 2026 is right around the corner, guys.
00:32:35.860 And you've got a lot of people who are on the rhino list who are up for reelection.
00:32:40.860 Going down the list, a few that I can raffle off.
00:32:44.360 Joni Ernst has gone back and forth during this whole process of getting Trump's cabinet appointments through.
00:32:51.100 She's went back and forth.
00:32:52.240 Whatever sort of charade or act she was doing, I put her in the rhino column.
00:32:57.160 Mitch McConnell retiring, gone.
00:32:59.540 Thank the Lord.
00:33:01.000 But we better hope that he doesn't get to pick his successor.
00:33:04.300 Bill Cassidy, another one.
00:33:05.480 A constant thorn in the side down in Louisiana.
00:33:08.180 Susan Collins in Maine.
00:33:09.580 Enough with the free passes.
00:33:10.980 I don't care how many of Donald Trump's Supreme Court justices she was the tie-breaking vote for.
00:33:15.980 It shouldn't even come to that.
00:33:17.560 She's not a lord and savior for that.
00:33:18.980 She's a terrible person.
00:33:20.140 She's a terrible senator.
00:33:21.220 And she's got to go.
00:33:22.700 The Republican Party has got to stop this.
00:33:24.700 John Thune in the Senate has got to stop this.
00:33:27.280 Enough's enough.
00:33:27.980 Tom Tillis, another one.
00:33:29.320 Mark Wayne Mullen.
00:33:30.500 Massive rhino.
00:33:31.360 But all of a sudden, through this whole process of cabinet approval of these members, he's turned himself around to become.
00:33:38.240 And this is constantly what these guys do.
00:33:40.000 They pull the wool over the eyes of the voters like there's some great Republican senators.
00:33:44.460 And they're not.
00:33:45.740 Tom Tillis, like I said.
00:33:46.560 Lindsey Graham, another one.
00:33:47.960 Got to go.
00:33:49.420 John Cornyn down in Texas.
00:33:50.800 I pray to God that Ken Paxton primaries him because he'll beat his rear end because he's such a total rhino.
00:33:56.780 So how can people support the Rhino Removal Project, Leo?
00:34:00.580 What can they do to help you guys get the word out and get you guys some funding?
00:34:03.940 So go to our website, rhinoremovalproject.org.
00:34:09.520 Join our community.
00:34:11.620 Become one of the over eight and a half million patriots that have functioned or have become a part of our our mission.
00:34:21.760 And funding.
00:34:24.040 Funding because you know what we're up against.
00:34:26.300 The establishment has a lot of money.
00:34:29.160 They have a war chest.
00:34:30.120 These people that you're talking about, we've created a tier one list, John.
00:34:34.200 So Cornyn, Capito, Ernst, Cassidy.
00:34:39.440 So we've got people in these states and we need people to support us by joining us.
00:34:46.660 Join our community.
00:34:48.260 Come on to X.
00:34:49.100 Help us because pressure campaigns we've learned actually work.
00:34:52.420 And then if you can go into our website, contribute, help us, support us financially because we're going up against some of the most.
00:35:02.520 As Mark was talking about with USAID and with all the money that they have, they have all this taxpayer money that they funneled to themselves.
00:35:11.220 So we want to go after that.
00:35:13.920 And what's your website?
00:35:15.440 Where can they help support you?
00:35:16.800 Where can they follow you on Twitter, Leo?
00:35:17.900 So go to the rhinoremovalproject.org, to the website.
00:35:22.800 There's a link that will take you right to the community.
00:35:25.480 On X, you can follow me at atleodhelion1964.
00:35:29.400 But our company account is rhino underscore removal.
00:35:34.220 And if you can follow those things, you'll be a part of the community.
00:35:37.300 We also have a large influencer chat with people like Mark because we want these smart-minded, brilliant people to come and join us so they can help give us answers.
00:35:45.080 Yeah, I'd love to see scumbag establishment politicians lose their jobs.
00:35:52.100 That is our sole focus.
00:35:54.260 And we have to stop them now, right?
00:35:56.020 I mean, if we don't stop the rhinos, I'm not as worried as the Democrats, but we have to have the Republicans act as America first.
00:36:03.100 They have to do it.
00:36:04.380 Yep.
00:36:05.260 Leo, thanks so much for joining us today.
00:36:06.960 Truly appreciate it.
00:36:08.060 We're going to help you get the word out as much as we can here on The Great America Show.
00:36:11.200 And Godspeed, brother.
00:36:12.780 Thank you, John.
00:36:13.440 I appreciate you having me.
00:36:15.080 Thank you.
00:36:16.500 So, Mark, how do we get rid of these folks?
00:36:18.920 I mean, what can you and I do to help Leo get these people the hell out of here?
00:36:24.440 Like, enough's enough.
00:36:26.340 Yeah, there needs to be changes at the leadership level, I think.
00:36:29.100 It was great that they got Ronna McDaniel out.
00:36:31.640 I think that was one of the big barriers.
00:36:33.500 We'll see what Whatley does with it.
00:36:35.480 I'm not so sure about the NRCC, but if something needs to change there, it probably needs to change really fast.
00:36:40.600 And I'm not really sure.
00:36:42.680 Listen, Trump, I don't think plans to lose 2026.
00:36:45.700 I think he's going to have a broad spectrum.
00:36:48.520 Actually, I don't know.
00:36:49.780 This might be breaking news.
00:36:50.880 It just came out.
00:36:54.720 I put the link in the private chat.
00:36:56.540 Let me bring it up.
00:36:57.300 There's been some movement in a pretty famous case.
00:37:01.720 It looks like the DOJ just filed a statement of interest in Tina Peters's case.
00:37:08.380 Peters is a gold star mom and the former election clerk of Mesa County, Colorado, who got locked up for exposing the massive vulnerabilities in a certain unnamed company's voting machines.
00:37:20.520 That's weird.
00:37:22.340 We've got that.
00:37:22.900 Yeah.
00:37:23.400 You're joining us on video here.
00:37:24.660 That is that is massive.
00:37:28.080 Let's see.
00:37:28.740 So this might be Trump's plan.
00:37:29.880 And, of course, that's Jenna Griswold there.
00:37:32.080 A picture of Jenna Griswold.
00:37:34.920 It's corrupt as hell, by the way.
00:37:37.940 Oh, but totally corrupt secretary of state.
00:37:43.300 Unbelievable.
00:37:44.300 Wow.
00:37:45.840 So that's big news.
00:37:48.720 As far as I know, this might be the first sign that DOJ is actively looking at it in an election integrity related case.
00:37:55.000 Um, and so that might be part of the 2026 plan as well.
00:37:59.960 I feel for the voters, though, because the voters know this problem.
00:38:03.060 We've pulled on it so many different ways.
00:38:05.640 Yeah.
00:38:06.080 Um, in terms of helping elect candidates for their party, which has been more effective in recent years, the DNC or the RNC and people say DNC more than RNC by 40 to 20%.
00:38:16.260 It's really bad.
00:38:17.180 And Republicans, um, they say RNC is better, but only 43% of them.
00:38:22.760 Um, and so, um, on all these other measures, like we asked who should be the RNC head and Ronna McDaniel, uh, came in third behind Mike Lindell and Harmy Dillon.
00:38:34.880 Um, and also 75% of Republicans say that the Republican party is a party of Trump and the make a great America great again movement.
00:38:42.380 And we even just did, um, some private polling in, in red state, uh, for Republican primary and asking these people who's doing a better job.
00:38:52.680 Republicans in DC, the Trump administration or Republicans in your state, uh, the Trump administration wins among Republicans, uh, 51, the other two are 25 and 11.
00:39:02.160 And it's just over and over again, there's signs that people in the party like Trump better.
00:39:07.680 And yet they have no choice, but to vote for whatever Republican candidates on the ticket, the generic ballots, always Republican plus three.
00:39:16.600 And, uh, you know, I feel for him.
00:39:18.900 They have no other option.
00:39:20.120 The problem is, is these guys mark for the longest time.
00:39:23.100 And I worked in politics before getting into media for a long time, running political campaigns.
00:39:27.900 Um, the problem is, is nobody ever wants to do anything, right?
00:39:30.640 You want to go to DC for your $174,000 paycheck.
00:39:33.740 You want to go to the Senate for your 200 plus thousand dollar paycheck.
00:39:36.760 You want to go along to get along.
00:39:38.300 You want to have dinners with lobbyists.
00:39:39.640 You want to, you know, get sweet deals, uh, get amusement park tickets for the kids, vacations down in Florida, Kentucky Derby tickets, all that good stuff that I've witnessed while working on Capitol Hill.
00:39:50.920 Um, none of them wanted to work.
00:39:53.860 None of them want to work.
00:39:54.740 It's the status quo.
00:39:56.620 It's go there, take your paycheck and go home.
00:40:00.040 Um, maybe cheat on your wife.
00:40:02.360 Cause that's the overwhelming majority trend that we see with these people in DC.
00:40:07.180 And, you know, it's, it's sad.
00:40:09.500 It's, it's truly pathetic.
00:40:10.740 Uh, we had a Congressman from where I'm from in Staten Island who had a different family.
00:40:15.060 Mark guy gets pulled over for DUI tells the cop.
00:40:18.060 I've got a whole nother wife and I've got a whole nother family.
00:40:20.740 Uh, okay.
00:40:22.100 Interesting.
00:40:22.500 And the man is now back in political power.
00:40:25.320 He's the borough president of Staten Island.
00:40:27.320 It's things like that, Mark, that these guys continue to get away with.
00:40:30.640 Whereas guys like Madison Cawthorn get booted out of Congress for blowing the whistle on what we see.
00:40:36.520 It's, it's a double standard that these guys live and they get away with it.
00:40:40.260 And the reason they hate Donald Trump, an overwhelming majority of them, and they won't say it out loud because they're wimps.
00:40:45.580 If I don't like somebody, Mark, I'm going to go out there.
00:40:47.600 You're probably going to do the same thing.
00:40:48.860 You're going to say, I don't like you for this, this, and this.
00:40:51.200 These guys see behind the scenes with their lobbyists, with their big funders, their big donors.
00:40:56.120 And they tell them how much they hate Donald Trump and how they can't stand him.
00:41:00.120 Come out and say it, be a man.
00:41:01.680 If you, if you believe that position, come out, be a man and stand up for it.
00:41:06.040 And you deal with your voters and you deal with the repercussions of it.
00:41:09.480 And you see where the voters see if the voters agree with you.
00:41:12.100 And then you maybe reevaluate if you're the problem or if he's the problem.
00:41:17.720 I think many of them lack the capabilities of objectively evaluating their selves.
00:41:23.740 I think what we're looking at is hubris and narcissism in many cases.
00:41:27.960 And it seems like everybody, look at Eric Swalwell in the clip that we saw and what was discussed about what Nick overheard.
00:41:35.460 Again, I haven't seen that video come out, so maybe it's all just conjecture.
00:41:39.260 But the attitude was he sits right on down with lobbyists and immediately doesn't even know these people is like, you know,
00:41:46.440 spilling his guts about all the ridiculous stuff that he's involved in.
00:41:49.860 And it's like, no, this is what, this is what we all get away with.
00:41:54.340 This is just how it's supposed to be.
00:41:55.760 We're entitled to this.
00:41:57.300 And the culture has got to change and leadership helps, but Trump's not going to be able to fix everything.
00:42:02.920 And, you know, it's, it's, it's really everywhere, but it's like, Hey, a lot of people in this world,
00:42:08.680 like we're born and said, Hey, I'm, I'm going to work the farm.
00:42:12.340 That's my life.
00:42:13.100 That's what God has given me, or I'm going to have a great family and enjoy it.
00:42:17.260 Second, they win an election, man.
00:42:19.420 I don't know.
00:42:20.680 Second, they get in there.
00:42:21.760 Something happens to them.
00:42:23.160 And it's like, the world owes me.
00:42:25.100 We've got that video.
00:42:25.840 We're going to roll it here for the, for the audience to see what you're talking about with.
00:42:30.760 Fang Fang, Eric Swalwell and his corruption that he just, you know, he can't seem to, to help himself with.
00:42:39.220 So Congressman, you referred to Elon Musk as a fascist at some point and alluded to him being a national security threat.
00:42:44.600 Do you see that more of a national security threat, you sleeping with a Chinese spy than transparency in the federal government?
00:42:54.080 What are your thoughts on that?
00:42:56.420 What are your thoughts on that?
00:42:58.840 What's Fang Fang think of that?
00:43:00.340 What are you doing?
00:43:00.880 What's fascistic about exposing government corruption?
00:43:09.220 I mean, I know you're just at dinner now with a bunch of lobbyists.
00:43:11.580 You know, they're buying you a bunch of booze and, you know, that's awfully nice.
00:43:14.740 I know you were talking about, you know, maybe, maybe finding somebody else because you only like to fuck people that are tens.
00:43:21.600 I just heard that one, too.
00:43:22.700 So what do you think about that?
00:43:24.940 Do you want to comment on any of it?
00:43:27.600 Of course not.
00:43:29.800 Elon Musk is a national security threat, but you sleeping with a Chinese spy is not.
00:43:33.760 Is that correct?
00:43:34.500 He's so wasted.
00:43:35.940 You don't want to comment on that at all?
00:43:37.320 Well, it looks like guilty as charged.
00:43:40.880 And I apologize to the audience for the vulgarity.
00:43:43.280 I didn't know that was in there.
00:43:44.600 But, you know, it's just sad, Mark.
00:43:46.460 This is what we're dealing with.
00:43:47.960 This is our top guys.
00:43:49.520 And Eric Swalwell is a big tough guy.
00:43:51.800 Not on camera, behind his computer, Mark.
00:43:54.000 He's a big tough guy.
00:43:55.860 Talks a big game, spits a big game.
00:43:58.380 When push comes to shove, he doesn't want to talk.
00:44:00.300 Why?
00:44:01.300 Practice what you preach, right?
00:44:02.420 You know, there's no shame.
00:44:08.560 You know, like, hey, Fang Fang should have been your resignation.
00:44:13.240 All of his colleagues should have been appalled to be in the same room with him.
00:44:17.560 Like, seriously?
00:44:18.860 Like, a Chinese spy?
00:44:21.720 And the implication is probably he's complicit in espionage.
00:44:26.580 And he was on the intel committee.
00:44:28.440 Yeah.
00:44:29.420 And it's like, at least.
00:44:30.940 But that's normal.
00:44:31.880 This is what, Mark, this is what we've allowed.
00:44:34.240 This is what we've considered normalcy.
00:44:36.800 Our members of Congress who are on the national security committees.
00:44:42.020 The people who make our laws.
00:44:44.840 Sleeping with Chinese spies.
00:44:46.740 Yet Donald Trump is somehow, which was never confirmed.
00:44:50.020 The whole golden shower tape was all a lie.
00:44:53.120 The thing was completely made up.
00:44:54.700 But Donald Trump's the national security threat.
00:44:57.140 They've never proved anything he's done wrong.
00:44:59.700 That's the crazy thing.
00:45:00.680 They've never proved the damn thing that that man has done illegally or that he has done wrong.
00:45:06.340 Yet he's the threat.
00:45:07.500 And they convinced 35%, 40% of people to just believe it fundamentally like a religious dogma.
00:45:17.600 That's what's crazy.
00:45:18.920 It's mind-blowing to me.
00:45:20.100 I want to take a quick break here.
00:45:21.640 We've got our next guest who's going to be joining us.
00:45:24.000 My good friend, the great John Bachman.

00:45:36.020 Oh.
00:45:36.520 It's going to be in there, Mark.
00:45:37.520 We're coming right back.

00:46:47.200 I want to bring in our next guest here, the great John Bachman, host of Newsmax show each

00:46:55.540 John, is that an Atlanta Braves hat?
00:46:58.460 Yeah, it is.
00:46:58.980 I put it on just special for you, John.
00:47:00.800 Oh, my.
00:47:01.340 Can we get rid of him?
00:47:04.300 John, Mark Mitchell, great to have you with us.
00:47:07.260 Yeah, good to meet you.
00:47:08.400 Great to meet you, Mark.
00:47:09.140 Let's take a look at what we're expecting tomorrow, the state of the union.
00:47:13.640 What can we expect from President Trump?
00:47:15.480 Can we expect anything new, any new developments, the tariffs going to affect tomorrow on China
00:47:22.640 and Canada?
00:47:24.500 I don't know if you guys heard his press conference today, but he was announcing the reciprocal
00:47:28.220 ones going to affect on April 2nd.
00:47:30.360 And he says, you know what?
00:47:31.620 It's going to cost us a lot of money by not going April 1st, but it's the right thing to
00:47:35.460 do.
00:47:35.660 I don't want them to think it's a joke.
00:47:36.940 Your thoughts, Johnny?
00:47:39.880 Well, I think we will get some surprises.
00:47:41.780 And I hate to be too much of a, you know, too technical, but it is not a state of the
00:47:46.200 union address.
00:47:47.500 This is a joint session of Congress, as they do.
00:47:50.560 You know, it is more or less a state of the union.
00:47:52.260 We're going to see all the accoutrement of the state of the union.
00:47:53.940 But I do expect some surprises tomorrow.
00:47:55.940 I did talk to some of my sources in the White House today, and they are being very tight
00:47:59.580 lipped about what those surprises may be.
00:48:02.160 But I would assume there are going to be some special guests there, people that have been
00:48:04.800 impacted, maybe, you know, we'll get something like that we've seen before.
00:48:10.260 And, you know, I think back on previous state of the union addresses, I think it was his
00:48:13.940 last day of the union when he did that special tribute to Rush Limbaugh.
00:48:16.700 So we're going to have something special like that.
00:48:19.380 The terrorists will be interesting to talk about.
00:48:20.960 I think certainly we'll hear how the terrorists have been effective.
00:48:24.440 One of our reporters, Sarah Williamson, was down south of the border, actually embedded
00:48:28.320 with the federal police in Mexico, how they've responded to the terror threat.
00:48:33.040 And they've really stepped up their game there.
00:48:34.860 And, you know, we'll see if that continues, if these terrorists do take effect.
00:48:38.400 But one of the things I do expect to hear a lot about tomorrow is the success we've seen
00:48:42.000 on the border and the fact that we're like a 25 year low for apprehensions on the border,
00:48:48.040 which just goes to show you how effective the border policies have been and how little
00:48:52.820 Joe Biden cared to enforce the border.
00:48:55.260 Mark, I want to get your take on what the American people say about tariffs.
00:48:59.500 But in my opinion, he's either got to put them on or off because it's unstable.
00:49:04.080 It destabilizes the markets.
00:49:06.120 The markets react one way because they expect them to come.
00:49:08.480 Then they don't come.
00:49:09.460 He pushes them off and the market goes the other way.
00:49:12.620 You see the crypto market finally rebounding a little bit after his big announcement yesterday.
00:49:17.220 But he's got to make a choice.
00:49:18.800 So now he says they're on.
00:49:19.940 They've got to stay on until these countries, you know, decide to get their act together.
00:49:24.320 Mark, what are the American people saying about tariffs?
00:49:26.800 And this is one of those things we actually don't have any recent numbers for.
00:49:29.660 To be honest with you, it was always just kind of like pie in the sky.
00:49:32.540 It was like number 57 on his list of promises, to be honest with you.
00:49:37.260 And since he's been in office, there's just been so many crazy things to pull on.
00:49:41.940 There is an increased right track.
00:49:45.680 The happiness of the country is measured by.
00:49:47.560 Do you think the country's on the right track is the highest it's ever been as of last week?
00:49:51.700 48 percent, never seen higher in our history.
00:49:53.880 And we had a huge spike increase in consumer confidence.
00:49:58.000 So, listen, I think Trump has a lot of political capital.
00:50:01.160 I think this is one of those things where they just trust Trump.
00:50:03.840 I think he built his 50 percent supporters and it's going to take a lot to lose them.
00:50:08.020 But if he is going to lose supporters, what it's going to be is a black swan economic crisis.
00:50:13.520 And I don't know if this is going to do it or not.
00:50:15.980 I don't know if a major stock market crash will do it or not.
00:50:18.920 I think it'll probably take a few months to see if something like that has an impact.
00:50:23.020 Did you guys see there was a big announcement today from Honda?
00:50:26.200 And this is in direct response to the tariffs that they're going to start building the civics in Indiana.
00:50:30.880 They had planned to build them in Mexico, but now they're going to build them in Indiana.
00:50:34.620 So, you know, and I think they are anticipating at the White House some short term, let's call them economic speed bumps, if you will, as a result of these tariffs.
00:50:42.500 It's also interesting, and I don't know if you guys have had the same effect, is because Donald Trump isn't running for reelection the next time around, they're not as concerned with how this stuff is polling.
00:50:53.820 What I think they're more concerned about is the long term impact and if it's really going to work.
00:50:58.680 You don't hear the concerns about the midterm elections in 2026.
00:51:02.000 I know a lot of Republicans in Congress are way more concerned about that than they are at the White House right now.
00:51:07.480 But I think what they're most concerned about is, you know, these tariffs actually putting them to work and making sure they work.
00:51:14.580 And I think with this Honda announcement, that's a big deal for Donald Trump.
00:51:17.680 We'll probably hear about that tomorrow, too.
00:51:19.820 The truth of the matter is, and I want to get Mark's take on this, what you said, I don't think they're scared, John, about the 2026 elections.
00:51:25.800 It's because they expect Donald Trump to pull them across the finish line every single time.
00:51:30.960 None of these guys, John, if you look, I don't want to say none of them, but if you look, I bet the overwhelming majority wouldn't be brought up across the finish line.
00:51:38.260 Lauren Boebert in Colorado would have not won that election after changing her district without Donald Trump.
00:51:44.740 And you go down the list, you look at some of these seats in California.
00:51:49.140 These guys are lazy, John.
00:51:50.700 They want to, I don't know if you heard, but we were talking last segment, they want to go along to get along.
00:51:54.960 They want their expensive dinner, they want their lobbyist dinners, they want all that good stuff, but they don't want to work.
00:51:59.860 And Donald Trump, time and time again, has pulled these people across the finish line.
00:52:03.960 There's one problem, John.
00:52:05.340 There's only like four more years of this.
00:52:07.380 After this, I don't think Donald Trump, he'll probably finally retire and enjoy the rest of his life, hopefully free of persecution.
00:52:16.180 But these people got to wake up and smell the coffee.
00:52:19.440 Yeah, they got to take bold action.
00:52:21.040 And that's, you know, one of the things we've seen from Donald Trump.
00:52:23.260 You know, I do think that there is some coalescing around J.D. Vance right now in the Republican Party, realizing that he is going to be the guy in 2028.
00:52:33.980 And, you know, you hear some talk about PAC's already starting to line up behind J.D. Vance.
00:52:38.780 So that's, I think, encouraging for Republicans, too.
00:52:41.100 But you're right, John.
00:52:41.880 There is never going to be another guy who can cut through the noise and just kind of get everybody in line.
00:52:46.480 And when you think about, too, and, you know, Mark, I'd love to get your take on this one as well.
00:52:50.280 Like when you think about the coalition that Donald Trump has built, whoever fills those shoes after him has to maintain this coalition somehow.
00:52:57.800 So you have the mandate so you can get the 312 electoral college votes.
00:53:02.460 And, you know, it's just hard to imagine how that's going to be possible without a guy like Donald Trump, who's willing to take the risk and put his neck out there on so many issues and lead the party.
00:53:12.740 Unlike anybody really has ever done.
00:53:15.380 Mark.
00:53:15.780 Yeah, I think we're in the midst of a major political realignment that's been going on for like five or 10 years, where 18 to 39 year olds are just vastly more supportive of Trump.
00:53:25.180 Believe it or not, they have a higher job approval rating than voters over 40.
00:53:28.800 It's 60 percent right now.
00:53:30.520 It's freaking incredible.
00:53:32.640 Never seen anything like it.
00:53:34.020 And if it's not a response bias, it is actually is doomed for the Democrat Party.
00:53:38.980 I think they've lost a lot of power even since the election.
00:53:41.600 And I do think that there was even this time out some manner, some amount of election integrity.
00:53:47.260 So I think going into 2026, Trump is not planning to lose that.
00:53:51.200 And I think where we're at is this is an existential crisis for the kleptocracy, as I call it.
00:53:56.240 I don't know if you agree, because you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube of every all of the fraud and waste and just absolute degeneracy that all of our elected leaders essentially have just been perpetrating on the American people.
00:54:09.500 We're talking about potentially theft of trillions of dollars.
00:54:12.980 So I think public opinion is going to decide how far Trump can go.
00:54:16.400 But he's got a lot of cards that he can play like they can crack down on the small dollar donation Smurf network.
00:54:21.360 They can.
00:54:22.260 I know of at least two election integrity bills that are being written right now.
00:54:27.120 And we just covered in the last segment, too.
00:54:29.980 The DOJ has now filed the notification of interest in the Tina Peters case, which I think is the first investigation we've heard about election integrity related stuff.
00:54:37.760 So it's going to be wild.
00:54:40.900 I have no idea what's going to happen, but they have to fix it, because if the current crop of Democrats get back in control, you're just going to see everything.
00:54:48.680 I think we got some breaking news here.
00:54:51.420 The head of the FBI field office in New York has officially resigned after the Department of Justice has accused his office of hiding thousands of Epstein documents.
00:54:59.540 John, I was told by my sources that this whole screwing of the pooch was had nothing to do with Kash Patel.
00:55:05.240 It had everything to do with Pam Bondi.
00:55:08.820 Mark and I were talking on the phone about this earlier today.
00:55:11.100 It's mind blowing to me that a career prosecutor, a career DOJ official could have been fooled and believe that 200 documents was the total amount of documents in the Epstein files.
00:55:22.100 I was told by John Solomon it's probably about 35,000 documents.
00:55:25.760 She gets 200, goes on Jesse Waters, tells us they're being released.
00:55:29.680 Here they are. And then comes out the next day, completely empty handed, redacts files.
00:55:35.360 John, that black book. I have the fully full unredacted version from 2023 with the names and numbers.
00:55:41.100 She puts out a redacted. I mean, how do you think she survives this one?
00:55:44.520 Because people are pissed.
00:55:47.100 Yeah, I think a lot of people are pissed.
00:55:48.660 I think she's going to have to pull a rabbit out of her hat.
00:55:50.800 I do. I mean, having lived in Florida for a long time and seen Pam Bondi, the attorney general in Florida, and seen how she operates.
00:55:57.940 I mean, this is certainly out of character for her.
00:55:59.740 I don't there was a hiccup where she said something publicly about guns, too, right before that whole Epstein debacle happened and really freaked a lot of people out about red flag laws.
00:56:09.060 You know, I'm willing to give Pam Bondi a little grace.
00:56:12.360 I've been waiting for this as much as anyone.
00:56:15.200 But at some point, there was some staffer who was putting this stuff in the notebook, and they had to know that this was not going to be enough for people like us who are waiting to find out for these files to come out.
00:56:26.700 So that is a big nugget, John, that the FBI, the Southern District of New York FBI chief guy there has resigned.
00:56:36.840 So, I mean, I'm waiting like everybody else, not just for the Epstein files, too, but I'm also curious about the JFK files and the MLK files and all that other stuff as well.
00:56:46.420 Mark, you did some polling on the JFK files and the MLK files.
00:56:49.720 Is that correct?
00:56:50.580 And we haven't recently.
00:56:55.240 We did.
00:56:56.160 I think we found that 41 percent of U.S. likely voters think it's at least somewhat likely that the CIA was involved or.
00:57:04.200 So that number was pretty astounding.
00:57:06.080 And we also found that only 27 percent of people thought that Epstein actually killed himself.
00:57:12.160 And that was right around the time of his suicide.
00:57:14.980 But this is, again, been kind of on the back burner for us.
00:57:18.900 So much to pull on with all the USAID stuff, the government gangster stuff, the anger.
00:57:25.520 And so, yeah, like I think people are paying attention to what's being uncovered in a way that they haven't before.
00:57:31.480 I think mainstream media lost a lot of its viewers and a lot of its power.
00:57:36.460 And I think that Elon Musk and Doge and Joe Rogan and all the other independent creators have filled that vacuum.
00:57:43.880 And so one of the major questions we saw is we asked, and I think I've covered this with you before, John, but seven out of ten voters are angry at the level of waste, fraud and abuse in the government.
00:57:54.600 So I think it's back to what you were saying earlier, too, about younger voters.
00:57:59.100 When you talk to younger voters, they understand what's going on.
00:58:03.060 They know that their Social Security is being leveraged, that their Medicare, that their due someday in the future is being leveraged right now.
00:58:09.920 And they get really charged up about the Doge exercise.
00:58:13.880 And that's why, you know, Elon Musk is such an important figure for those young people.
00:58:19.360 They see him as a guy who can do things, obviously, with SpaceX, with Neuralink, with Tesla, with the boring company.
00:58:25.700 He can do things outside of government.
00:58:27.680 And so when he's focused on that and you guys know this, too, I mean, we've seen these waste books come out every single year.
00:58:33.280 Going back to Tom Cobra and James Lankford does it now, it never generates the enthusiasm that we're seeing, like what we've seen with Doge.
00:58:40.340 It's just, you know, it's all that stuff on steroids.
00:58:43.720 And if we can actually see results coming out of these cuts, like if they can start to roll things back, I mean, if Elon can deliver a tenth of what he's promised, you know, at least that will get the ball rolling in the right direction.
00:58:55.520 We can't continue to have $2 trillion deficits every single year and expect that to work out for us in the long run.
00:59:02.280 And you missed the first segment we were talking about Ukraine, so I want to pivot back to that for a little bit.
00:59:08.160 Our good friend Vladimir Zelensky, little Vladimir, I don't know if you can see that on your screen there.
00:59:14.560 But this is a man who's sat here and attempted to call the shots, John, came to America telling us what we were going to spend because he thought that this man was still president, Joseph Robinette Biden.
00:59:27.140 There's a new sheriff in town, and it's not Joe Robinette Biden anymore.
00:59:31.600 This is now the Donald Trump administration, and he's tired of the games.
00:59:35.820 He's tired of the lies.
00:59:37.440 And where the hell is the money going?
00:59:39.640 I mean, I thought Donald Trump was very reserved, honestly.
00:59:42.420 We had the whole thing.
00:59:44.160 You know, they didn't actually carry it live, but they put the playback up.
00:59:48.400 And, you know, I was expecting Vladimir Zelensky to be, you know, contrite and thankful.
00:59:53.940 And, you know, obviously he has to understand that Donald Trump is different than Joe Biden, but he acted like a petulant brat.
01:00:02.080 And, you know, specifically, I have not been able to get confirmation on this.
01:00:07.140 And I want to know.
01:00:08.040 I don't know anyone who speaks Ukrainian.
01:00:09.760 I've asked several people if they could actually hear it.
01:00:11.660 But did Volodymyr Zelensky actually call J.D. Vance a bitch in the Oval Office?
01:00:16.480 I mean, that's, you know, there was that.
01:00:19.200 But you could tell, even if he didn't say it out loud, the body language that Zelensky had in the Oval Office, rolling the eyes, just a bad scene.
01:00:27.880 And then I'm sure you guys saw today that Zelensky said it's going to take a very long time to reach peace with Russia.
01:00:33.980 And Donald Trump responded to that.
01:00:35.960 The more Zelensky does this, the harder it is going to be for him to show up and apologize to Donald Trump.
01:00:43.100 I don't know what that apology looks like, but you guys can only imagine what Zelensky is going to have to do now publicly.
01:00:49.260 Yeah.
01:00:49.720 Not privately, but publicly to get Donald Trump to agree that maybe he's ready to talk about peace again.
01:00:55.900 I don't think he can do it at all.
01:00:59.060 We talked about this and I said, this is the equivalent of parenting a toddler.
01:01:03.000 If they step out of line, you put them in the corner and you don't get out until you acknowledge what you did wrong and apologize.
01:01:09.380 And I don't know if his handlers won't let him or I don't know if his prides to hear.
01:01:14.360 If he apologizes, he's basically going to say, yeah, I was wrong in a way that everybody in Ukraine who can't elect somebody else is going to pay attention to.
01:01:24.160 So that's probably really dangerous for him.
01:01:25.900 And then he also admits and acknowledges that his goals are different than ours.
01:01:30.680 Our goal is to end this thing.
01:01:32.240 His goal is to use our blood and wealth to recapture lost territory.
01:01:36.440 And that's just that equation is not going to square.
01:01:38.940 And I don't know how he's going to do it.
01:01:40.460 And so Trump is right, in my opinion, to just say, well, you know, come back when you're ready.
01:01:44.900 Yeah.
01:01:45.380 I think Trump's absolutely right.
01:01:47.880 And I think the polling bears that out, too.
01:01:49.640 And you look at the trend line for Zelensky and his popularity with the American public, it is moving in the wrong direction for him.
01:01:55.980 So he's on a very limited timeline where he can hopefully convince from his perspective that to the American public that this is still a war worth fighting.
01:02:04.800 But he's not done that yet.
01:02:07.660 And I thought one of the most telling things about it was how quickly Lindsey Graham came out and cast Zelensky off saying he needs.
01:02:14.980 I mean, Lindsey Graham has been the biggest simp for Zelensky that we've seen.
01:02:18.980 And he was ready to come from.
01:02:22.160 Oh, oh, man.
01:02:23.900 Was John there?
01:02:25.060 Yeah, he's right about Lindsey.
01:02:26.120 I don't know what's going on there.
01:02:27.340 There's something we don't know about.
01:02:29.200 Well, that was that.
01:02:30.000 That was the thing.
01:02:30.600 Well, we wait to get John back here.
01:02:32.180 He might have lost connection.
01:02:33.280 Oh, that we lose there.
01:02:36.760 John's a family man.
01:02:37.720 He's probably getting a call from one of his daughters that he's got to go pick them up from soccer.
01:02:40.860 Every time I talk to John, he's doing something for the kids.
01:02:43.380 So John's one of the good guys.
01:02:45.000 But I was coming home from lacrosse practice before when you call me.
01:02:49.640 But they're inside eating dinner right now.
01:02:51.840 I'm outside talking to you.
01:02:53.400 You're better off out here.
01:02:55.180 That's right.
01:02:55.900 Have more fun with the boys.
01:02:58.540 You know, it was telling to me.
01:03:00.240 Mark and I were talking about this in the first segment.
01:03:02.360 Tucker Carlson comes out and says that Zelensky is selling the weapons we're sending him to Hamas and other bad actors.
01:03:10.600 And it really makes you wonder, because Lindsey Graham comes out, who's the biggest war hawk, perhaps, in the history of this country, second to or tied for first with John Bolton.
01:03:21.520 And he's completely flipped this, too.
01:03:23.520 Now, I don't know if it's up.
01:03:24.600 It's because he's up for reelection in 2026.
01:03:26.560 But it's never stopped him before.
01:03:28.760 Why do you think the sudden shift from Graham?
01:03:31.520 I think he can.
01:03:32.800 You know, I think the only thing that matters more to Lindsey Graham than being on camera is what Donald Trump thinks of Lindsey Graham.
01:03:38.560 And so that's I mean, I think, you know, Lindsey Graham is pretty, you know, wishy-washy on issues like that.
01:03:44.020 So I think he felt like he had no choice.
01:03:47.060 He's a very emotional person, too, Lindsey Graham is.
01:03:49.220 So we saw him come out very quickly and respond emotionally.
01:03:52.620 I would love to know if he's had a follow-up conversation with Zelensky or Zelensky's office has tried to call Lindsey Graham and say, please, Lindsey, help me.
01:04:00.200 But I don't think that's happening.
01:04:03.080 Another thing, too, I don't know if you guys talked about this or not, but you guys saw the new British ambassador to the United States going on television and basically telling Zelensky, like, dude, you got to go back there.
01:04:12.400 Like right now, you know, tell Donald Trump that he's the best and you were wrong and make up for it.
01:04:18.080 Because I think the leaders of Europe understand that they can't do this without us either.
01:04:22.880 And so they're concerned now that Zelensky has possibly – I mean, you got Senator Mike Lee calling for us to get out of NATO now.
01:04:31.780 And, you know, that I think is a big deal.
01:04:35.020 Before the meeting happened with Zelensky, you know, I don't think anyone was really seriously questioning our support of NATO.
01:04:40.980 But now they are.
01:04:42.660 Yeah.
01:04:42.760 You know, the crazy thing to me, and Mark and I talk about this often, is that, John, at any given day, like I'm not talking years, I'm talking days, we can be out of NATO ourselves, which NATO falls apart.
01:04:55.820 We fund this damn thing for absolutely no reason.
01:04:58.740 When push comes to shove, who the hell knows would be there to have our back if we got into a war with Russia or if we got into a war with China or Iran.
01:05:05.000 These guys run with their tails between their legs, and they're happier to support Ukraine and the corruption there because the money flows back around.
01:05:15.320 Everyone seems to forget, John, what happened in Ukraine over the last 10 years.
01:05:19.760 The level of corruption.
01:05:21.220 Hunter Biden, a well-known household name here in America, was doing business in Ukraine.
01:05:27.340 Donald Trump gets on the phone with Zelensky.
01:05:29.500 All of a sudden, he's impeached over it.
01:05:31.080 But the level of corruption there that nobody talks about this.
01:05:34.240 Nobody says, okay, well, 2016, he's got Burisma over there, and the prosecutor's corrupt as hell, or so-and-so's corrupt as hell.
01:05:43.940 Nobody says, oh, well, maybe we should second-guess sending these people $350 billion because we don't know where they're going.
01:05:52.000 Yeah, Zelensky himself admitted that they don't know where half of the money is.
01:05:55.720 And, you know, that was obviously a massive faux pas on his part.
01:05:58.780 But as – I mean, we're getting up to $350 billion now in both cash and equipment going to Ukraine.
01:06:07.100 And I've heard these reports from Tucker.
01:06:08.580 I haven't seen any visual confirmation that these weapons are in the hands of our enemies.
01:06:15.820 Yeah.
01:06:16.440 You know, but we deserve better accounting on our money going over there.
01:06:21.060 If the president of Ukraine is willing to admit that they don't know where half of the money is, who knows how much is really gone?
01:06:25.260 Who knows how much has really been wasted?
01:06:27.400 How many cars have been purchased with that?
01:06:29.200 And so we're getting to this point now, and I think this is, you know, kind of the crux of this whole entire conversation, which is why we saw that blow up.
01:06:37.340 I think Zelensky knows in the back of his mind that he is on a very short timeline.
01:06:41.560 And I think Putin knows that.
01:06:44.240 Trump seems to know that.
01:06:45.680 And, you know, this is a very tenuous situation for Zelensky.
01:06:50.060 And I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't make it to the end of the month.
01:06:54.040 Mark?
01:06:55.580 Wow, you heard it here first.
01:06:57.020 I have no idea what's going to happen to that guy.
01:06:59.880 I'm not a foreign policy specialist.
01:07:02.380 I can tell you that.
01:07:03.220 If I'm making it, I mean resign.
01:07:04.160 I don't mean anything like, you know, he's not going to occur.
01:07:06.340 I'm just probably all on the table, you know, to be honest with you.
01:07:11.240 There's probably a lot of people who don't want to keep fighting, and it appears that Zelensky wants to using our money.
01:07:17.580 But at a certain point, we were talking about this.
01:07:20.060 I asked Grok, and Grok estimated they've lost between one and one and a half million fighting-edge men out of Ukraine just to flight.
01:07:28.500 And there aren't that many to begin with.
01:07:30.000 I think the estimate was five to six million.
01:07:33.560 So at a certain point, they're going to be scraping the bottom of the barrel, as we already suspect they are.
01:07:37.560 And think about the long-term impact on their demographics, their future, the economy.
01:07:44.160 It's absolutely crazy the amount – just the sheer scale that this whole thing is to Ukraine.
01:07:49.360 That $350 billion alone, the money we gave them, that's like 150-plus percent of their GDP.
01:07:56.740 Yeah.
01:07:57.260 Like, imagine us having to fight a foe that costs $50 trillion.
01:08:02.900 Like, it's insane.
01:08:05.100 Like, what are we doing?
01:08:05.940 It should stop, and it should have stopped the first month.
01:08:08.740 Yeah, it's not just that our money is going to fight the war, too.
01:08:10.860 You guys know our money is, like, propping up businesses in Ukraine while American businesses here are dealing with record inflation.
01:08:18.000 All that stuff is contributing to the lack of enthusiasm for this conflict by the American taxpayer.
01:08:24.500 It's just – it's got to end.
01:08:25.900 At some point.
01:08:27.280 Mark and I were talking today earlier on the phone about our military budget and how the thing is through the roof.
01:08:32.180 It's skyrocketed.
01:08:33.480 And it's a thing.
01:08:34.140 We really haven't been in a war, a legitimate war, since the mid-'90s with the Gulf War.
01:08:39.200 I mean, we were in Iraq and Afghanistan.
01:08:41.080 Two wars that are totally unnecessary that we should have never been in.
01:08:44.300 But we all know that.
01:08:45.420 That's neither here nor there.
01:08:47.100 We have a war, John.
01:08:48.100 You mentioned the southern border.
01:08:49.320 We have a war at our southern border that needs to be fought.
01:08:52.080 Pete Hex had announcing today that he's ordered a striker brigade.
01:08:55.480 He had an aviation battalion to the southern border.
01:08:58.600 This is now, it seems, the first time probably in the last 10 years where we may see some action on the southern border.
01:09:05.940 I don't know if you remember, but Mark Esper came out in his book and said Donald Trump wanted to launch rockets into the drug cart.
01:09:13.520 And Donald Trump, we were talking about it, he goes, people thought it was brilliant.
01:09:18.140 And it absolutely is.
01:09:19.360 It's a war that needs to be fought.
01:09:20.780 These people are terrorists.
01:09:22.400 John, they're absolutely terrorists.
01:09:23.580 They're 100% terrorists.
01:09:24.720 And, you know, their business model is not all that different than the IRGC or the Taliban nowadays.
01:09:29.860 I mean, they sell drugs.
01:09:30.900 They take that money.
01:09:32.000 They arm themselves.
01:09:33.020 They try to gain political power from it.
01:09:34.520 But I saw a video and it was somebody, it was a video of an A-10 warthog flying over the desert.
01:09:40.400 And they said this could be the southern border of the United States.
01:09:42.800 And you might imagine the mental effect that that would have, not just the Mexican government, but also the drug cartels or any of these mules moving stuff across the desert.
01:09:50.960 If, like, an A-10 were just a straight, doesn't have to shoot them, but just, you know, give them a little hello, little, you know, shot across the bow.
01:09:58.820 Just that type of attention will, I think, definitely change the game for these cartels, make them double think what they're doing.
01:10:07.840 John, these guys, going back to Tucker, these guys have military arsenals and equipment, John, that are seen in first world countries.
01:10:15.360 I mean, like, comparable to what we have here, someone told me once that they have air defense missiles, that they could defend against missiles.
01:10:24.360 How the hell does Mexico get technology like that?
01:10:27.900 And it makes you wonder, who are they getting it from?
01:10:30.740 Is it China?
01:10:31.840 Is it Americans?
01:10:33.700 Maybe Americans.
01:10:35.140 Maybe it's, I don't know.
01:10:36.680 You know, again, I haven't seen this stuff myself.
01:10:38.800 You hear the reports of this.
01:10:39.780 You haven't seen it in action.
01:10:41.360 We did see, I think, I can't remember, it was a couple years ago.
01:10:44.860 We saw some pretty heavy fighting between the cartels, and you got a chance to see they had, like, they were, like, I'm not saying they are MRAPs, but they look like MRAP vehicles, you know, heavy armored personnel carriers that they have.
01:10:59.100 And, you know, but there's nothing that they have that the U.S. military can't take care of.
01:11:05.100 And if they just devoted the attention to it, you know, it would be a game changer.
01:11:09.600 Mark, you're a military man.
01:11:11.000 And say America does go in and invade Mexico, and by invade Mexico, I mean invade the cartels.
01:11:16.720 Who's going to top us?
01:11:19.060 Well, I think we wouldn't do it without the permission of the Mexican president.
01:11:23.600 Wasn't there some – this came in one ear and out the other, but I thought we had some agreement where we were going to send special forces down there.
01:11:30.400 It might have been just in training roles.
01:11:31.760 But it absolutely has to happen.
01:11:34.340 I mean this needs to be – this is not the fake drug war of the 80s.
01:11:39.320 This needs to be, like, a real broad spectrum attack.
01:11:44.100 And that, in my opinion, means an attack on their funding, which I don't think we know hide nor hair of the full amount of which we're probably helping them.
01:11:53.680 I mean who knows where those additional Social Security payments are going?
01:11:58.240 Who knows what NGO money is being – I mean the NGOs are enabling the human trafficking at the border.
01:12:03.320 Why aren't they going one more step?
01:12:04.800 I don't know.
01:12:06.180 Literally everybody in the country, in the world, seems to be getting USAID or some kind of money through NGOs from the taxpayers.
01:12:15.420 Why not the drug cartels?
01:12:16.740 It's highly plausible that that's actually happening, that some of these NGOs are just funnels of money to go to the cartels.
01:12:28.720 Not that they particularly need all that much money.
01:12:31.920 They're – it's a $2 trillion industry, the fentanyl business alone, global industry.
01:12:37.520 And, you know, something has to be done to stop the amount of death and destruction that that drug is causing in this country.
01:12:45.400 And we've seen the border basically shut down.
01:12:49.480 So we should also, next step, see some of these fentanyl deaths start to drop.
01:12:55.740 And so that's what I'm looking for.
01:12:56.840 And if that doesn't happen, then I think that's a sign that they're going to step in.
01:13:01.080 You know, you've heard Donald Trump talk about this so much that they're going to step in with the military power to stop the flow of fentanyl.
01:13:06.680 But why is China getting away with it?
01:13:08.160 I mean they're the ones who are supplying it.
01:13:09.620 How do they – first of all, they unleashed COVID on the world.
01:13:12.820 In my opinion, it was on purpose, of the opinion of a lot of smart, very smart people.
01:13:16.520 It was on purpose.
01:13:17.260 It was man-made out of one of their labs on purpose.
01:13:20.420 68 percent, by the way.
01:13:22.120 There you go, 68 percent.
01:13:24.060 That's an overwhelming majority to me.
01:13:27.340 So they unleash this on the world, John.
01:13:28.860 They kill over a million Americans, millions of people worldwide.
01:13:31.700 Get away with it, right?
01:13:32.960 Now they unleash fentanyl, which they've been doing for years, on our southern border.
01:13:37.560 Takes the lives of over 100,000, just that we know about on paper, right?
01:13:41.000 A hundred thousands.
01:13:42.500 John, you can't walk down the street here in New York when you come visit.
01:13:45.100 I'm sure you see it.
01:13:46.200 The streets of Philadelphia, of Chicago, without seeing people overdosing on fentanyl.
01:13:51.060 Why are we – we're putting our paramedics and our people in harm's way, saving these people's lives.
01:13:56.980 But China continues to get a free pass.
01:13:59.680 Why?
01:14:01.460 Because there's such a huge economic power.
01:14:04.580 You know, everybody's been so scared to upset China.
01:14:07.540 China, it's a great question why we allow China to do this.
01:14:12.140 They're so deeply embedded in our country.
01:14:14.860 You know, we know about things like the consulate.
01:14:20.040 Remember the consulate in Houston where they were burning all the documents?
01:14:24.080 There is an element of the Chinese Communist Party in this country that we can't seem to get rid of somehow.
01:14:30.320 And it's a big concern.
01:14:31.500 And this is just part of it.
01:14:32.460 But I think, you know, it's not – it didn't appear overnight.
01:14:36.220 It's not going to disappear overnight.
01:14:37.640 It's going to be a very detailed and prolonged effort to unravel this network that is obviously in our country.
01:14:46.300 It's in Mexico, and it stretches all the way back to China.
01:14:49.000 Mark?
01:14:49.780 Yeah, I might have some insight on that.
01:14:51.480 And I'll come at this from the immigration angle.
01:14:53.680 I know some people that care near and dear.
01:14:57.100 Like, this is a big issue for them.
01:14:58.540 And I was asking them, well, like, why don't we have E-Verify?
01:15:01.740 Like, why isn't it federally mandated?
01:15:03.600 And he said, well, basically, it comes down to, you know, there's a lot going on in D.C. right now, but the big businesses still have a lot of interests.
01:15:10.900 And they basically – the big companies want their slave labor, and everybody is afraid to pass that, and you're not going to be able to get any kind of unification in Congress on it.
01:15:19.160 But I think it's the same kind of thing with China.
01:15:21.960 Just think about how many SKUs in a Walmart come from China.
01:15:25.260 How much of, like, Amazon's product offering is all Chinese products?
01:15:30.020 And, like, those are, you know, multiple hundreds of millions or billions, if not trillions of dollars in revenue, those companies right there.
01:15:37.880 So I think that's one of the real reasons, too.
01:15:42.840 Yeah, and we have a very big issue here.
01:15:45.120 And it kind of scares me a little bit that Donald Trump is not moving on it as fast as I would have liked him.
01:15:51.340 I mean, I like that he's moved fast on the border, but without Tom Holman, that doesn't happen.
01:15:55.580 I want to see what happens with China.
01:15:57.260 Enough's enough, man.
01:15:58.160 We've got to get these companies out of there.
01:16:00.160 Him and Elon Musk are like this.
01:16:01.620 Elon Musk is in bed with China.
01:16:03.460 There's no other way to put it.
01:16:04.900 Without China, Elon Musk can't make his cars.
01:16:07.360 It's just the truth of the matter.
01:16:08.520 So I would like Elon Musk maybe to help Donald Trump to help him divest out of China.
01:16:15.660 Apple's got to get the hell out of China.
01:16:17.080 We've got to get these companies out of there, our pharmaceutical companies.
01:16:20.320 There's no reason we should, John and Mark, that we should be importing 90 percent of our pharmaceuticals.
01:16:25.540 Go look at the back of your pharmaceutical bottles made in India, made here and made there, ingredients from China.
01:16:31.440 If they want to shut down the country, we saw what they did with masks.
01:16:34.920 You couldn't get a damn mask because they're made in China.
01:16:37.140 China, our pharmaceuticals, our laptops, our computers, everything comes from China.
01:16:42.700 And we need to find a way to divest from these people because it's only going to get worse.
01:16:47.980 It's not going to get better.
01:16:48.960 The trade wars are going to start as soon as tariffs go on.
01:16:53.080 The trade wars are going to start.
01:16:54.380 The Chinese are going to get very upset.
01:16:55.860 And it's going to be like COVID 2.0 with supply chain issues.
01:17:00.360 And we can't afford that.
01:17:01.900 John?
01:17:02.980 Yeah, you're absolutely right about that.
01:17:05.160 There's no reason why we can't manufacture more of our pharmaceuticals here in this country or in a country that's friendlier to what we're trying to do.
01:17:12.980 I think you will start to see that with the modern manufacturing model coming online and more automation.
01:17:18.800 We'll be able to do this stuff cheaper.
01:17:20.840 And the big businesses will not have the high overhead of manpower here in this country.
01:17:25.860 The reason why they've gone overseas.
01:17:27.840 But it's not just, I mean, the pharmaceuticals that are manufactured there.
01:17:32.360 It's a lot of stuff that's manufactured there.
01:17:34.400 I mean, we have these DGI drones that are being used by the U.S. military that are manufactured in China.
01:17:40.480 And it's just all that type of stuff.
01:17:42.680 I mean, you guys remember Huawei and ZTE, how long it took Congress to make it illegal to use their products in the United States.
01:17:51.600 It's just, you know, we've become so used to China being in everything that we have, everything that's made, that we buy.
01:17:59.320 And we've got to change the mentality here in this country to realize that every time you buy something from China, you are, in fact, aiding the enemy.
01:18:05.420 But real quick, Mark, before we get your response on this, I recently bought a computer from Apple.
01:18:10.840 And they're so brazen about it, they don't even ship the thing, John, to America.
01:18:15.720 They ship it right to your door from China.
01:18:18.680 You would think they'd ship it to, like, their headquarters in Cupertino or wherever they got one of their headquarters.
01:18:23.440 No, it ships right from DHL, right from the factory in China.
01:18:27.240 I mean, they're brazen about it.
01:18:29.900 They don't care.
01:18:30.460 It's in your face.
01:18:31.580 Screw you.
01:18:32.120 What are you going to do about it?
01:18:33.340 Mark?
01:18:33.600 Yeah, I'll tell you, the people get it.
01:18:37.020 We polled on China, whether it was an ally or an enemy.
01:18:40.560 I forget the numbers exactly, but before the Trump term, the first term, the numbers were pretty, like, nondescript.
01:18:47.480 Very few people thought it was an ally, but you had a number in the, I think, like, low teens who said it was an enemy.
01:18:53.860 All of a sudden, Trump gets into office, and by 2017 or 18, it was, like, 50%.
01:18:58.780 And so we asked that question time and time again, and you get, like, oh, 15% say an ally, 50% say it's an enemy, and everybody else is somewhere in the middle.
01:19:07.560 And we also talked about how if you ask voters who are America's biggest enemy, China comes in number two behind Democrats.
01:19:14.360 So the people get it, but the problem is, is that none of the politicians do, and, you know, some people like their junk from China, but I think other people want an option, and we certainly want our manufacturing base back.
01:19:28.600 And it's, like, every bit of foreign policy, every bit of, like, foreign trade has been, I think, you know, from China, this fifth generation of 5G warfare, it's, like, they've enabled the offshoring of literally everything because it's better for them.
01:19:46.400 And we haven't strategically identified other partners, helped develop manufacturing bases in other countries more favorable to us.
01:19:55.360 Like, geez, think about, like, we could be doing this in Russia.
01:19:58.880 You know, they're a semi-democratic country with a constitution not much unlike our own.
01:20:06.140 They're westernized.
01:20:07.480 And it's, like, no, we're trying to get in World War III with them.
01:20:11.120 And then a country that's trying to destroy us has vocally said that that's one of its goals.
01:20:17.300 Like, no, we're going to literally just manufacture all our stuff there.
01:20:20.720 John, before we let you go, because we know your wife is looking through the blinds right now, giving you the evil eye.
01:20:26.700 Oh, no, you got it.
01:20:27.740 You get the last word here, John, before we let you go.
01:20:30.940 Where can people watch you each and every day on Newsmax?
01:20:33.460 Yeah, I think the easiest thing to do is check us out on YouTube, Newsmax N2, the streaming network.
01:20:40.040 Rapidly growing audience.
01:20:41.200 So thanks to everybody who's checking it out.
01:20:42.960 You don't have to pay for anything, so it's totally free.
01:20:45.520 Do a great job there.
01:20:46.720 Also have a new book coming out in May called Turning Point, How Reagan Liberated Grenada and Ended the Cold War.
01:20:53.860 The Operation Urgent Furry has been a footnote in a lot of stories, but I really focus on that, the relationship with Reagan and Thatcher.
01:20:59.980 And that's coming out in May, so that's really exciting.
01:21:01.500 Hopefully everyone can check that out.
01:21:03.220 That is available for pre-order now on Amazon, so check that out as well.
01:21:07.460 Well, before we promote that, I want to get a deal where we get at least 10% of the proceeds.
01:21:12.320 John.
01:21:12.540 Yeah, I need to get you a promo code for that.
01:21:15.960 Hey, while you're at it, go ahead, mypillow.com slash John, 800-969-3077.
01:21:22.540 John Bachman, thanks so much for joining us tonight.
01:21:24.460 Thanks, guys.
01:21:25.380 Great to talk to you, Mark.
01:21:26.340 Thank you, John.
01:21:26.860 Yeah, good to talk to you.
01:21:28.180 Bye.
01:21:28.400 Good guy.
01:21:30.560 John Bachman, a good friend of mine, does a great job over at Newsmax, too.
01:21:34.500 You can catch him each and every day there on Newsmax, too.
01:21:38.000 Mark, you've got a show coming up tonight over on YouTube, Rumble, and wherever you guys get your podcast.
01:21:43.720 You're working overtime.
01:21:44.440 You're a hardworking man, too.
01:21:46.760 Yeah, I'm doing the grind.
01:21:47.900 Family man.
01:21:48.560 Every time I talk to you on the phone, you've got the kids somewhere, you're grocery shopping, you're doing something for the family.
01:21:53.680 Yet somehow you find the time to work and make a living and join us here on this great show.
01:21:59.840 What do you got coming up on tonight's show?
01:22:01.720 I don't know about making a living.
01:22:03.780 Honest pollsters tend not to do that.
01:22:06.000 Yeah, we're streaming live at 9 p.m. Eastern, and we're going to go into the context of all of the Ukraine-Russia polling because there's a lot, and it's been kind of all over the place.
01:22:16.560 And it's in preparation for what I think is going to be a major shift in public opinion after that crap we saw last Friday.
01:22:23.520 I can tell you, I don't think it's blowing back on Trump yet because, again, his approval rating was 50 today, and there was very little change in the overnight numbers.
01:22:32.220 But, yeah, I think we're going to see a lot of mad Americans.
01:22:34.680 So check back in early next week for those results.
01:22:37.940 So that will be at Rasmussen underscore poll or at my own Twitter account, Honest Pollster.
01:22:43.860 And you can catch them on YouTube tonight, 9 p.m. sharp.
01:22:47.180 So as we wrap up here, Mark's going to go have dinner, put the kids to bed, read them green eggs and ham, maybe, right?
01:22:54.880 Yeah.
01:22:55.420 So Dr. Seuss Day was yesterday.
01:22:57.200 Yeah, we got a puppy birthday party.
01:22:59.060 We got all kinds of stuff lined up tonight.
01:23:00.960 Puppy birthday party?
01:23:02.820 Yeah, Freya's turning two.
01:23:04.680 Oh, my God.
01:23:05.600 That's the Jack Russell, huh?
01:23:07.000 Yeah, our little Jack Russell.
01:23:08.560 She happened to be running around there for the audience to?
01:23:12.000 I could share a photo if I could find one.
01:23:15.420 Freya!
01:23:16.680 Freya!
01:23:18.880 He's got these little rat dogs.
01:23:21.400 Oh, she came.
01:23:25.280 Oh, man.
01:23:26.700 Oh, that's such a cute dog.
01:23:32.820 Yeah, it looks like a little.
01:23:34.180 Oh, we got a kid that wants to come in, too.
01:23:36.140 Come on in.
01:23:38.580 You're live.
01:23:39.420 One TV.
01:23:39.800 Hi, beautiful.
01:23:40.280 All right, take the dog.
01:23:45.300 Oh, man.
01:23:46.160 What a beautiful family.
01:23:48.700 I hope she liked all that Trump merch we got her over at CPAC.
01:23:53.240 It wasn't easy to get.
01:23:54.500 Mark, by the way, we were at CPAC, and Mark had to do 10 pull-ups to get one of these Make America Healthy Again hats for his daughter.
01:24:03.640 And Mark was able to do 10 pull-ups and get his daughter a hat.
01:24:09.440 They were very sleazy pull-ups.
01:24:11.380 I'm out of training.
01:24:13.520 John double-countered a few.
01:24:16.480 Listen, Mark, you know what?
01:24:17.640 When it's for the kids, you got to do what you got to do, right?
01:24:21.920 Yeah.
01:24:22.680 Mark, you get the last word here.
01:24:25.440 Yeah, wild times.
01:24:26.880 You know, I think the fourth turning is happening.
01:24:28.740 I think one of the signs is that the 60% approval rating among 18- to 39-year-olds for Donald Trump, the Democrats, that is the worst news that they've gotten, I think, in years.
01:24:39.760 They're not cool anymore.
01:24:41.380 And now we're going to pick apart.
01:24:43.780 We got the one-two punch of Donald Trump and Elon Musk.
01:24:47.240 We got a leader strong enough to allow this to happen to the government and somebody tough enough to cut through all the BS.
01:24:55.360 And I think the young people are eating up.
01:24:56.820 So, wild times.
01:24:57.940 Hope to see everybody at the show tonight.
01:25:00.480 We'll go a little late, but, you know, appreciate you being there if you can.
01:25:04.640 Yeah, 9 p.m. sharp, folks.
01:25:06.080 And Mark, in the comments, Kelly Song, this is a great show.
01:25:10.260 Fall Girl says, your daughter's adorable.
01:25:12.880 Ten pull-ups, wow.
01:25:14.400 I didn't do one pull-up.
01:25:15.980 I had to force Mark to do it because I didn't want to embarrass myself.
01:25:19.640 But Mark Mitchell, you know, he was a Navy man.
01:25:24.980 So, you know, he has the edge on me.
01:25:27.120 It's all right.
01:25:27.540 I'll get him one day.
01:25:28.820 Mark, 9 p.m., folks.
01:25:30.140 You can join Mark tonight on his show, Rasmussen Reports.
01:25:34.280 YouTube is probably the best place to watch him.
01:25:36.560 You can catch him on Rumble or Twitter, wherever you guys get your shows.
01:25:40.420 Mark Mitchell, come back soon.
01:25:42.580 Will do.
01:25:43.100 Thanks a lot, John.
01:25:44.520 Great to be here.
01:25:45.740 Thank you, Mark Mitchell.
01:25:46.780 We'll see you soon.
01:25:48.120 Thanks, everybody, for being with us today here on The Great America Show, folks.
01:25:51.260 Please be sure to join us back here tomorrow for The Great America Show,

01:25:57.900 We're not giving up the fight just yet, folks.

01:26:03.220 and continue to keep joining us each and every night here.
