00:00:00.000 Hello, everybody, and welcome to The Great America Show.
00:00:05.040 It's great to have you with us on this beautiful day here in America.
00:00:08.040 I should say hello, my fellow kings and queens.
00:00:11.080 If you guys weren't busy over the weekend, I hope each and every one of you got a chance
00:00:14.880 to stop by your local No Kings protest rally, whatever you want to call it, that was going
00:00:20.660 on around the country, particularly in the deep blue parts of America where fellow Marxist
00:00:28.260 Dems alike met up, talked about how much they hate President Trump, talked about how much
00:00:34.420 they hate America, and got on with their day.
00:00:38.040 It was an eventful weekend for these folks, and we're going to get to it.
00:00:41.100 We're going to be talking in just a few moments with a good friend of mine and a friend of
00:00:44.140 the show, Stephen Gardner.
00:00:45.220 He's the host of The Stephen Gardner Show.
00:00:47.180 But before we get to that, I want to get to some breaking news that just happened moment
00:00:51.060 ago.
00:00:53.940 A federal appeals court just moments ago allowing President Trump to deploy the Oregon
00:00:57.840 National Guard to Portland after a judge, of course, recently issued a temporary restraining
00:01:03.980 order.
00:01:04.820 The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals lifted the lower court's temporary restraining order
00:01:08.020 in a two-to-one decision, three-judge panel.
00:01:10.900 Two of the judges just happened to be appointed by President Trump, one by Clinton.
00:01:15.440 President Trump previously called up hundreds of National Guardsmen to go protect and circumvent
00:01:20.980 any sort of issues that were going to happen over in Portland.
00:01:24.320 Portland, the mayor of Portland has been very against it.
00:01:27.780 The governor of Oregon has been very against it, which means it's probably the right decision 1.00
00:01:33.180 on President Trump's part.
00:01:38.880 So let's get back to that No Kings rally that was happening over the weekend.
00:01:43.000 And I got to be honest with you folks, I was very, very, very busy.
00:01:46.000 I had some weddings I had to go to and things I had to get done for the show.
00:01:49.580 So I wasn't able to make it, and I'm distraught that I wasn't able to.
00:01:53.400 But seeing some of the videos coming out of it, I think are absolutely brilliant, including 0.99
00:01:57.760 some idiots on camera who are willing to say they're interested in killing people like 1.00
00:02:04.020 Stephen Miller. 1.00
00:02:05.760 Who are you going to kill? 1.00
00:02:07.560 Nazis. 0.99
00:02:08.460 Who do you define as a Nazi?
00:02:11.060 What do you mean?
00:02:11.680 It's pretty...
00:02:12.580 In this context, who's a Nazi?
00:02:14.960 Stephen Miller's a Nazi. 0.97
00:02:16.100 So you're going to kill Stephen Miller? 0.99
00:02:17.140 If I had a chance, yeah, I would.
00:02:18.900 I don't know if that's something I can say on camera, bro. 1.00
00:02:27.820 These people, you can't make this stuff up with how ridiculously dumb they are. 1.00
00:02:32.880 Someone saying on camera that they want to kill Stephen Miller after all the violence 1.00
00:02:37.600 we've seen from the left in this country, after all the violence we've seen ensue over
00:02:42.340 the last few weeks, over the last few months, over the last year.
00:02:45.300 The president nearly assassinated twice. 0.66
00:02:48.660 And they say the Republicans are the party of hate. 0.98
00:02:51.880 The Republicans are the party of violence. 0.89
00:02:54.940 Notice all these people at these rallies, they wear their face masks.
00:02:58.820 And it's not that they're worried about COVID, because I'm convinced personally that some
00:03:04.820 of these people have far worse diseases than COVID based on just looking at them.
00:03:09.040 But you look at these people, and they're walking around with face masks on.
00:03:13.460 And it's not to worry about disease. 0.99
00:03:15.300 It's to worry about covering their faces, because they're cowards. 0.97
00:03:19.860 They don't mean what they say, and they don't say what they mean. 0.98
00:03:23.000 They hide behind a facade.
00:03:24.780 They hide behind a mask.
00:03:26.120 And then they go out there, and they terrorize.
00:03:28.460 And they make death threats on people.
00:03:31.480 Now, it was a rather sophisticated crowd.
00:03:33.360 I want to bring to you one of the attendees who was there, who was promoting the event,
00:03:37.840 and very sophisticated people, I have to tell you.
00:03:41.160 No kings, no thrones, no crowns.
00:03:45.140 Tomorrow, October 18th, join the march.
00:03:49.420 No kings, no crowns, no thrones.
00:03:57.520 I guess you could try to figure out what I'm trying to say here.
00:04:01.360 Very sophisticated crowd.
00:04:03.360 A lot of folks that were out there competing.
00:04:06.300 Now, President Trump was asked about it on Air Force One last night on his way back from Palm Beach,
00:04:10.720 and he had this to say.
00:04:11.700 What's your response to the protests over the weekend, the no kings protest this year?
00:04:15.120 I think it's a joke.
00:04:16.340 I looked at the people.
00:04:17.380 They're not representative of this country. 0.96
00:04:19.800 And I looked at all the brand new signs made for, I guess it was made for by Soros and other radical left lunatics. 0.61
00:04:26.740 It looks like it was. 0.84
00:04:27.980 We're checking it out.
00:04:28.980 The demonstrations were very small, very ineffective, and the people were whacked out.
00:04:34.740 When you look at those people, those are not representative of the people of our country.
00:04:38.720 Mr. President, besides San Francisco...
00:04:40.320 By the way, I'm not a king.
00:04:42.320 I'm not a king.
00:04:43.260 I worked my ass off to make our country great.
00:04:45.620 That's all it is.
00:04:46.680 I'm not a king at all.
00:04:49.180 And he's absolutely right.
00:04:52.480 I'm just at a loss of words.
00:04:54.060 But the purple hairs, the pink hair people, they're not representative of anybody. 0.78
00:04:58.880 They don't run anything.
00:05:00.020 They don't own anything.
00:05:01.040 They just come out here and they cause chaos and havoc.
00:05:03.400 I mean, it's time and time again where you just see these people come out and run their mouths.
00:05:09.840 Why didn't they go out and vote on November 5th like their life depended on it?
00:05:14.340 There was a mandate on November 5th.
00:05:17.820 And Donald Trump was mandated to be the president of the United States by an overwhelming majority of the population of this country.
00:05:24.500 He didn't appoint himself president.
00:05:28.240 When he, quote unquote, lost the election in 2020 and had to leave in January of 2021, he got up and he left.
00:05:36.400 So I'm not sure what behavior Donald Trump has ever exhibited that makes him a king, that makes him a wannabe dictator.
00:05:46.140 I mean, if Donald Trump were a king and were any of these things that these people were saying he is, he'd be out there bombing every country.
00:05:53.320 He'd be blowing up Canada to the north and Mexico to the south and saying, give us your land.
00:05:59.440 We've, in fact, seen quite the opposite from President Trump.
00:06:03.700 Asked in his meeting today with the prime minister of Australia by a reporter about giving Ukraine more weapons so they could finish the job in Russia. 1.00
00:06:13.860 And President Trump flat out told this woman, you're an idiot. 1.00
00:06:17.660 You want to see another world war? 1.00
00:06:19.800 He says, we're going to try to end this thing diplomatically.
00:06:24.600 And if we can't end it diplomatically, I'll know when the time has come and we'll make our determination from there.
00:06:32.000 But this is the one world global alliance.
00:06:34.660 The NATO global alliance that wants to see wars all across the world because it makes people rich.
00:06:43.260 You can use the divide and conquer method.
00:06:46.580 And at the end of the day, somebody eventually wins the war after thousands or hundreds of thousands of people are dead and millions and trillions of dollars are spent or wasted rather.
00:06:55.620 But this is the faction of the media that they want to see.
00:07:01.720 They want.
00:07:03.500 They want Donald Trump to be a king.
00:07:05.360 I'm convinced of it based on their rhetoric.
00:07:08.740 And he's done quite the opposite.
00:07:11.600 I mean, to a tune of 180 degree difference. 0.99
00:07:14.200 So these people are sick, they're demented, and I really, truly think they need help. 0.95
00:07:20.560 Now, the King's rally didn't stop President Trump from getting to work. 0.96
00:07:24.080 And President Trump today sent the markets absolutely soaring on news that he's meeting with the president of China and his team to work on a trade deal when they're over in Korea in just a few weeks.
00:07:37.760 Take a listen.
00:07:38.160 I think when we finish our meetings in South Korea, China and I will have a really fair and really great trade deal together.
00:07:46.580 I want them to buy soybeans.
00:07:48.360 They stopped buying our soybeans because they thought that was punishment. 0.58
00:07:51.420 And it is punishment to our farmers, but we're not going to allow that to happen because I made a great trade deal with China, a $50 billion trade deal.
00:08:00.220 And they were great about it.
00:08:02.000 They were doing everything that they were supposed to do.
00:08:04.000 And then when Biden came in, you know, I used to call President Xi all the time to say, thank you, or you're not buying enough.
00:08:11.340 In other words, they were supposed to buy.
00:08:13.520 Biden, do you think Biden ever called him?
00:08:15.620 I don't think Biden ever called him.
00:08:17.140 You think Biden lied awake at night thinking about trade with China?
00:08:20.760 He didn't know what he was doing. 0.99
00:08:22.320 He was an incompetent president. 0.96
00:08:23.700 We had an incompetent president, but you don't have that anymore. 0.87
00:08:26.880 So I think we're going to end up having a fantastic deal with China.
00:08:30.400 It's going to be a great trade deal.
00:08:31.920 It's going to be fantastic for both countries, and it's going to be fantastic for the entire world.
00:08:38.700 Doesn't sound like much of a king or a dictator to me.
00:08:43.420 Now, some can make the case that China is our biggest enemy and that we can go to war with China at any given point, which I think there's a point to be made on both sides of that issue.
00:08:52.520 But it's a man who's trying to work diplomatically with a country that hates our guts.
00:08:58.640 I mean, they sent us over the Wu flu, killed a million Americans, millions worldwide, and he's still trying to work with these people diplomatically. 0.83
00:09:06.960 A king, I think, takes a far different approach than how President Trump has approached this issue.
00:09:14.540 Now, the Democrats have us in this 20-day, we're now in 20 days of a shutdown.
00:09:20.520 They don't care.
00:09:21.920 Seven days ago, a lot of government employees missed their paychecks.
00:09:27.280 Democrats don't care. 0.99
00:09:28.560 Don't care how these people are going to pay for their bills. 0.89
00:09:30.860 Don't care how they're going to pay for their families, their loved ones, their children, their wives. 0.81
00:09:36.320 Don't give a damn.
00:09:37.180 But the American people are opening their eyes. 0.93
00:09:41.720 Don't take my word for it.
00:09:43.420 Take CNN's word for it.
00:09:45.260 Here's the latest polling.
00:09:46.860 That's exactly right.
00:09:47.660 Turns out shutdowns are different the second time around when it comes to Donald Trump.
00:09:51.940 Take a look here.
00:09:52.940 You know, we speak about Donald Trump shutdowns, net approval rating.
00:09:56.220 We're talking 20 days into it.
00:09:58.220 In 2018 slash 2019, Donald Trump's net approval rating was already falling.
00:10:02.780 The shutdown was eating in and it was popular sport.
00:10:05.060 It was down three points already at this particular point and would fall considerably more.
00:10:09.740 It was very much on the decline.
00:10:11.520 You come over to this side of the screen.
00:10:13.360 This shutdown hasn't eaten in the Donald Trump support at all.
00:10:16.160 His net approval rating is actually up a point in terms of his popular support.
00:10:22.440 So the bottom line is this.
00:10:23.740 The first shutdown during Trump's first term, 2018, 2019, was hurting Donald Trump.
00:10:28.280 This one is not hurting him at all.
00:10:30.120 There's no real reason Donald Trump might say, at least when it comes to popular support,
00:10:33.500 I want to get out of the shutdown.
00:10:35.060 What about the question of blame?
00:10:36.440 Yeah, OK.
00:10:36.940 What about the question of blame?
00:10:38.280 OK, you see here, you see Donald Trump's net approval rating was down 2018 to 2019.
00:10:42.600 You talk about 2025 as net approval rating is up.
00:10:45.540 It comes down to the blame game, a game I loved to play when I was younger.
00:10:48.880 Blame Trump for the shutdown a great deal.
00:10:51.320 In 2018 slash 2019, 61 percent more than three in five Americans blame Trump a great deal for that particular shutdown.
00:10:58.560 You come over to this side of the screen.
00:11:00.240 Look at this.
00:11:01.160 It's a different world.
00:11:02.200 It's a different world.
00:11:03.320 Forty eight percent of Americans blame Trump a great deal for this particular shutdown.
00:11:07.200 So it's more than three in five back in 2018 slash 2019.
00:11:10.860 It's less than half a drop of 13 points.
00:11:13.700 Again, it's no real wonder that Donald Trump at this point looking at the shutdown says, you know what?
00:11:18.420 It's not actually harming me politically in large part because he's getting less of the blame.
00:11:22.920 And he's doing things differently during this shutdown.
00:11:26.360 Yes, exactly right.
00:11:28.020 You know, we talk about Donald Trump and you say, OK, he wants to be a consequential, influential president.
00:11:33.740 Well, if the legislative process is basically freezed up, you know, on Capitol Hill, you may say, well, then he can't actually get legislation through.
00:11:39.660 But that's not how Trump is governing in this term.
00:11:42.200 We've spoken about this over and over and over again.
00:11:44.580 He's using his pen.
00:11:45.620 He's using executive orders.
00:11:47.080 Trump executive orders at this point of presidency in 2017.
00:11:50.920 It was just 50.
00:11:52.200 Look at this.
00:11:52.880 Already two hundred and ten executive orders signed by Donald Trump during this presidency.
00:11:58.780 That is the most in a year.
00:12:00.080 You have to go all the way back since Franklin Delano Roosevelt to find a president who signed more executive orders in a year than Donald Trump has already signed this time around.
00:12:08.440 And remember, John Berman, we still have two months to go in this year.
00:12:11.260 So it wouldn't be surprising to me if he signs even more.
00:12:13.840 It seems to be saying, Congress, you don't want to do something.
00:12:16.640 I'll do it.
00:12:17.620 I'll do it.
00:12:18.420 Harriet, thank you very much.
00:12:20.820 Bing, bang, boom.
00:12:23.820 Americans are blaming the Democrats as they rightfully should.
00:12:27.240 Folks, we're taking a quick break here on the other side of this quick break.
00:12:29.300 We're going to be joined by my pal, the great Stephen Gardner, the host of The Stephen Gardner Show.
00:12:33.160 He's taking some time out of his vacation to spend some time with us.
00:12:36.120 We're coming right back with Stephen Gardner.
00:12:37.380 Folks, please stay with us.
00:12:38.280 Now, as promised, I want to bring in my good pal, Stephen Gardner, the host of The Stephen Gardner Show, who's on vacation, who's taking some time to talk with us tonight.
00:12:52.420 Stephen, thanks so much for joining us.
00:12:55.620 Oh, thank you.
00:12:56.220 Thank you for inviting me on.
00:12:57.380 So let's begin with some new poll numbers out of CNN.
00:13:02.200 I think you're doing a great job.
00:13:04.100 You know, I did a show one time, Stephen, where the background CNN was on.
00:13:07.920 And I can't tell you how many people were hating on me.
00:13:10.280 And I'm like, no, I want them because I want to see how absurd they're talking.
00:13:14.260 I want to see what they're talking about and make some fun of them.
00:13:17.680 Why not?
00:13:18.020 So 61 percent in 2019 blamed President Trump, three in five.
00:13:22.880 We're now at 48 percent who are blaming President Trump for this.
00:13:26.520 So less than half the folks.
00:13:28.680 What are we to make of this?
00:13:30.800 Well, I believe we're going on day 20 of this shutdown.
00:13:34.160 There's been 10 votes.
00:13:36.060 The Democrats have voted against opening the government 10 times.
00:13:40.580 Then they immediately run to the mainstream media and say, you see, Donald Trump won't reopen the government.
00:13:47.320 But the American people see through it.
00:13:50.120 At least, you know, 52 percent are saying, actually, I don't think that this is Donald Trump.
00:13:56.480 I think that this might be the Democrats that want money for illegal immigrants to get free health care.
00:14:03.060 They are trying desperately to cover up the fact that Barack Obama's only legacy, the Affordable Care Act, is extremely unaffordable.
00:14:12.260 It's made health care extremely expensive for every American.
00:14:17.620 It's a forced tax.
00:14:19.400 We need the free markets to be working to bring down the cost, not the government.
00:14:24.180 So I think that this lays at the feet of the Democrat Party.
00:14:27.320 Yeah, it does.
00:14:29.000 You mentioned health care.
00:14:30.160 I tell the audience here all the time, and I don't say it braggadociously.
00:14:33.240 I say it enviously.
00:14:34.940 I pay $900 a month, even more than $900 a month, closer to $1,000 for health care.
00:14:41.020 I mean, I'm like a healthy person who goes to the doctor maybe once a year, and I pay $900 just in the rare case.
00:14:50.100 God forbid something happens to me if I get hurt or whatever.
00:14:52.700 I mean, that's crazy that anyone in America should be burdened with something like that.
00:15:00.800 It's scary to me to think that I'm not the only one.
00:15:05.220 Yeah, I mean, imagine me.
00:15:06.720 I've got a family of five. 0.99
00:15:08.120 We're looking at over $2,500 a month without the Obama piece of crap care. 1.00
00:15:15.580 They're threatening to raise upwards of over $4,000 a month. 0.99
00:15:19.660 Like, I could buy a freaking Ferrari for $4,000 a month, not crappy American health care. 0.55
00:15:27.020 We've got the sickest people on the planet, the most expensive health care on the planet.
00:15:31.840 I mean, what we're all living through right now is a broken system, and the Republicans have done an excellent job of exposing Obama's biggest mistake, his legacy.
00:15:43.500 At the same time, the American people, they're just not buying it.
00:15:46.760 You can't vote to keep the government shut and then go on national television and say it's the other guy's fault.
00:15:54.020 Americans are too smart.
00:15:55.540 We have too many high IQ people in this country.
00:15:58.620 Yeah, and you look at what we get for our tax dollars, Stephen, and I ask myself this every day living in New York.
00:16:03.620 You luckily live out on the West Coast in a less liberal state.
00:16:07.020 But now I'm mulling, you know, in the next year or so, moving out of New York to a tax-free state and to a state where, you know, you get more freedom.
00:16:16.460 But I still ask myself, what do we really get for our tax dollars?
00:16:20.540 I mean, you can't even say it's Social Security because we pay into that completely separately.
00:16:25.880 You can't say it's Medicaid because we pay into that separately.
00:16:28.160 What do we really even get for our tax dollars?
00:16:31.820 You see crime throughout mostly big blue cities up through the roof.
00:16:36.200 You see streets, at least in New York, undriveable for most cars.
00:16:42.500 What do we get?
00:16:43.620 The worst roads, worst airports, the worst air traffic control system in the world.
00:16:47.680 What are we getting for our money here in America?
00:16:49.940 Good question.
00:16:52.300 When I was reporting on the Obama years, or excuse me, the Biden years, they're the same.
00:16:58.880 When I was reporting on the Biden years, they passed over a trillion dollars in the infrastructure bill.
00:17:07.360 Where did that trillion dollars go?
00:17:09.900 Because nothing's gotten better.
00:17:12.060 We're waiting on bridge repair, railroad repair, airport repair.
00:17:17.020 I mean, it's a really broken system.
00:17:19.040 So you ask, what do we get for our money?
00:17:21.880 Well, as the great Ronald Reagan said, government is not the solution.
00:17:25.940 Government is the problem.
00:17:27.620 This is why Republicans are fighting tooth and nail right now to hold back Democrats that are saying,
00:17:33.920 we have to prove to the American people that the government can solve their problems.
00:17:39.120 You create my problems.
00:17:40.820 You don't solve my problems.
00:17:42.320 But Democrats don't think like that. 0.61
00:17:44.260 They literally have been brainwashed into believing, oh, 50 murders a weekend in Chicago, that's normal.
00:17:52.000 Yeah.
00:17:52.280 50 murders in Memphis, Tennessee each weekend, that's normal.
00:17:57.220 Give me a break. 0.96
00:17:58.240 This is disgusting.
00:17:59.680 And now you've got President Trump going in.
00:18:02.100 He's cleaning up the crime.
00:18:03.640 They're actually getting projects up and ready.
00:18:06.540 They're making tremendous gains on shutting down these wars that are just abusive to the American taxpayer.
00:18:16.420 Thousands of lives lost every single week.
00:18:18.980 So I guess when it comes to Trump, we are getting more.
00:18:23.440 I would like to see more, but I was in Huntington Beach for the No Kings rally, and you had all of these old white people flashing signs. 0.92
00:18:34.800 Where's the Epstein files?
00:18:37.040 Well, a third attorney just came forward in the last 24 hours and said, Donald Trump is not connected to Jeffrey Epstein. 0.50
00:18:45.320 You had signs of them saying, we put a rapist in the office. 0.88
00:18:49.320 We put a charlatan in the office. 0.99
00:18:51.620 I mean, these people are absolutely brainwashed. 0.69
00:18:54.900 I mean, Bill Clinton's not in office anymore.
00:19:00.000 Yeah, that was a good one.
00:19:02.940 So anyway, it was crazy to see the people, they're out there honking and waving their signs.
00:19:11.440 And you know what?
00:19:12.500 Thank goodness, because we don't have a king today.
00:19:15.740 Because of Democrats, we don't have a king.
00:19:18.080 But because of Republicans, we do have a really great president.
00:19:21.960 So they exercised their First Amendment right, saying that's democracy.
00:19:26.920 And we exercised our right to vote, and that is democracy.
00:19:31.220 So there you have it.
00:19:33.320 Let's take a quick break.
00:19:34.360 I want to talk more about this No Kings rally because it's totally absurd.
00:19:38.760 The people that go to it, I don't know if you heard my monologue.
00:19:40.980 But the people that go to it, just class act people.
00:19:45.000 We're going to talk about that and so much more on the other side of this quick break with Stephen Gardner, folks.
00:19:49.020 If you don't follow him on YouTube, if you don't follow him on social media, please be sure to follow him.
00:19:53.020 Stephen Gardner1 on YouTube does a terrific show each and every day.

00:20:02.920 Please be sure to follow him there, folks.
00:20:04.000 We're going to take a quick break.
00:20:04.820 We're going to get to so much more on the other side.
00:20:06.540 Please stay with us.
00:20:07.220 We'll be right back.
00:20:07.820 We'll be right back.

00:20:08.400 We'll be right back.
00:20:08.420 We'll be right back.
00:20:10.980 Thanks, everybody, for staying with us, with Stephen Gardner, host of the Stephen Gardner Show.
00:20:17.640 Stephen, I want to roll in a clip I rolled up in the monologue about some of these people and what's on their mind.
00:20:23.400 The hate, the anger, the venom that's in their blood.
00:20:28.480 Take a listen to this one fellow and who he wants dead. 0.95
00:20:33.100 Who are you going to kill? 1.00
00:20:34.840 Nazis. 0.99
00:20:35.700 Who do you define as a Nazi?
00:20:38.340 What do you mean?
00:20:38.920 It's pretty.
00:20:39.300 In this context, who's a Nazi?
00:20:42.240 Stephen Miller's a Nazi. 0.97
00:20:43.380 So you're going to kill Stephen Miller? 0.99
00:20:44.580 If I had a chance, yeah, I would.
00:20:46.160 I don't know if I had something I'd say on camera, bro.
00:20:55.300 Freaks, there's no other way.
00:20:56.460 There's no nice way to put it. 0.96
00:20:57.760 Watching him say that with a smirk after we watched Donald Trump almost be assassinated twice makes my blood boil. 0.98
00:21:05.140 Then I want to wring that guy by his neck.
00:21:06.840 I'm, of course, saying it metaphorically, but it boils my blood that these people put so much hate and anger into this air. 0.96
00:21:14.800 And people listen to them.
00:21:17.340 People act on it.
00:21:18.860 We've seen it now multiple times.
00:21:21.180 We watched what happened to Charlie Kirk a month ago.
00:21:24.660 Yeah, it's disgusting to me.
00:21:28.480 I saw another guy who was telling people, it's time to start shooting ICE agents. 0.99
00:21:34.360 It's time to start hurting these people. 0.55
00:21:37.900 It's time to start doxing and exposing these people.
00:21:40.360 I mean, right now you have gangs in Chicago and the Mexican and Venezuelan cartels.
00:21:46.840 They're literally putting bounties on people's heads.
00:21:50.220 $10,000 to kill somebody, $50,000 to kidnap. 0.98
00:21:53.760 I mean, it's absolutely disgusting. 0.98
00:21:56.320 The vile vitriol, the rhetoric that comes out of this party.
00:22:01.500 And yet, wasn't it just a few years ago that they were literally labeling themselves the party of kindness?
00:22:08.360 So what happened to that party?
00:22:11.620 You know, when Charlie Kirk died, you didn't see 140 cities burned.
00:22:16.180 You didn't see mass rioting.
00:22:17.900 We said, okay, can we trust the FBI?
00:22:20.540 We need to get to the bottom of this so that we can bring justice and understand what happened.
00:22:26.060 But then, you know, what does President Trump do?
00:22:29.360 He's not a king.
00:22:30.580 He just goes right back to work.
00:22:32.340 And think about this, John.
00:22:34.180 It was the Democrats who say we can't have a king.
00:22:37.500 But then, under COVID, they tried to force vaccinations into our arms.
00:22:42.900 They literally ran on raising our taxes. 0.92
00:22:46.520 They literally ran on, we're the party that freed slavery, even though it was the Republicans.
00:22:51.740 And what did they do?
00:22:52.620 They brought in 20 million illegal immigrants of cheap labor and to replace their old voting base because they know that they're about to lose power. 1.00
00:23:02.400 So if you ask me which party is behaving like a monarchy, it's actually the Democrat Party.
00:23:08.520 Yeah, you made a really good point that them importing these illegal aliens, who is their form of new slaves. 0.99
00:23:16.300 I mean, the working conditions they put them in, you know, these people aren't living normal lives.
00:23:22.100 These people are coming here from other countries illegally. 1.00
00:23:25.220 They're living, some of them, 10 to 15 people per apartment.
00:23:29.200 They're just terrible living conditions.
00:23:31.720 But they don't care because they want to figure out a way to let them vote.
00:23:35.320 They want to figure out a way so that these people can assimilate into society and camouflage in so that the Democrats never lose again.
00:23:41.860 Now, I'm convinced, even if Donald Trump lost this last election in 2024, that that's the end of America because the Democrats would have pushed through their no voter ID.
00:23:52.960 They would have pushed through giving licenses to everybody and everyone would have got to vote.
00:23:57.520 Now you say, oh, well, maybe they would have won after that.
00:23:59.480 No, because that's it.
00:24:00.940 They would have flooded the system that it would never, ever possibly not that I'm saying it's fair right now because there's still a lot of big problems.
00:24:08.660 But they would have flooded the systems even where it would have been irreplaceable.
00:24:13.580 I mean, it's like dropping a mouse in the street in New York City and then the chance of you finding that mouse ever again.
00:24:18.640 It's like, no, you let 30 million in to just go into society.
00:24:22.660 How do you figure out who's here illegally?
00:24:25.360 Yeah, I mean, maybe you can correct me if I'm wrong.
00:24:28.700 But from what I remember about, you know, just over a year ago, President Trump won.
00:24:36.300 Every single part of the United States shifted more red.
00:24:40.020 And Kamala Harris lost areas that Joe Biden magically won by huge numbers, even though Trump won that the election before.
00:24:49.800 The only area that she maintained ground, John, was in the areas where there's no voter ID.
00:24:57.580 And that's exactly what they were going to do.
00:25:00.060 They were going to roll out no voter ID, voter motor.
00:25:03.620 I think just in the last 72 hours, either Michigan or Minnesota, I apologize, I've been on vacation, but they openly admitted.
00:25:12.980 We get them a driver's license, whether they have the right name or not.
00:25:16.960 But then because they have that, they are 100 percent allowed to vote in our elections if they have an ID.
00:25:22.780 Not if they're a citizen, but if they have an ID.
00:25:25.460 So, yeah, you're absolutely right.
00:25:27.400 This was the plan.
00:25:28.680 Elon Musk, it was one of the main reasons that he donated so much money to President Trump.
00:25:33.000 He really felt that we would not have a country if he didn't help Donald J.
00:25:37.420 Trump become the 47th president of the United States because they were flooding all of the swing states so that they would never swing again.
00:25:44.680 They were trying to strengthen blue cities so that they would never lose again.
00:25:48.320 But the reality is we saw a red shift like we've never seen before.
00:25:53.120 You are right.
00:25:54.260 I think 99 percent correct with your assessment of every county.
00:25:58.340 I think it was like two or three counties somewhere in like western Colorado, probably want a really, really, really rich area where like they don't see anybody because there's like 10 people in the town about everybody moving to the right.
00:26:13.320 I mean, you look at Los Angeles, the swings in California.
00:26:17.120 We saw a swing of a million votes or it's really two million, a million towards the Republican.
00:26:21.600 So a million lost on the Dem side and a million gains, a net of two million.
00:26:25.480 You saw what happened in New York.
00:26:28.160 But there's still some people and it doesn't make sense to me right here in New York.
00:26:32.440 Zohan Mamdani is about to become the next mayor of New York City.
00:26:35.940 And I keep saying this because I say if it happens in New York, it could happen anywhere.
00:26:40.480 I mean, New York is like the capital, of course, the metaphorical capital of America.
00:26:45.140 You know, anyone who comes to America, they want to go see New York City.
00:26:48.560 And I'm not saying it's a good thing because it's a dump at this point right now and I'm stuck living here.
00:26:54.380 But Zohan Mamdani is about to become the first openly socialist Marxist mayor of New York City ever.
00:27:02.300 And he wants prostitution in New York.
00:27:04.600 He wants to get rid of the cops.
00:27:06.040 I mean, this sets a dangerous precedent that the people voted for this guy in a primary and now the rest of the world is trying to get everyone else to beat him.
00:27:14.540 I say let the chips fall where they may.
00:27:17.400 This man won fair and square.
00:27:19.320 Yeah.
00:27:19.940 When I was first getting my business up and running, I read a book called Predictably Irrational where it looks at human behavior.
00:27:27.240 And there's an entire chapter called Never Underestimate the Power of Free.
00:27:32.400 So free health care, free buses, free child care, right?
00:27:37.100 He's literally using free to rope them in.
00:27:40.340 Well, you and I both know as business owners, nothing is free.
00:27:44.180 Somebody has to pay.
00:27:45.780 And socialism only works until you run out of somebody else's money.
00:27:49.840 So they're going to chase the taxpayers away.
00:27:52.640 It's going to be even more rundown.
00:27:55.240 It's going to move from New York City to Gotham City with crime.
00:27:59.300 You literally, you just can't function giving everything away for free.
00:28:03.520 That is not how a capitalist society works.
00:28:06.320 Somebody has to make the money and you have to charge.
00:28:09.400 But I guess Mandami, he's just going to go after white neighborhoods and tax white people more because that's how he's going to pay for all the illegals that he wants to come in there. 0.73
00:28:20.260 So I think New York is in trouble.
00:28:22.140 But you know what?
00:28:24.080 They're going to have to deal with that if that's who they end up voting into office. 0.51
00:28:27.860 I mean, sometimes you can only learn a lesson after the pain of that lesson.
00:28:33.080 Yeah, it's going to be a four-year lesson for these people.
00:28:35.260 And I keep telling everybody, the writing's there.
00:28:38.100 It's on the wall.
00:28:38.660 There's nothing you could do at this point.
00:28:40.180 It's a day late, dollars short.
00:28:41.880 Should have thought about this when this man was running and everyone took him as a joke. 0.64
00:28:46.180 You tell somebody something's free and there's enough dumb people out there who are going to fall for the trick until they realize that somebody else, like you said, is paying for it. 0.93
00:28:56.960 But now it's the writing's there. 0.88
00:28:59.040 Like I said, this man's going to be the next mayor of New York City.
00:29:02.520 There's really no stopping him.
00:29:03.740 And I'm not sure really even why you would.
00:29:06.040 You're going to go out there and vote for Andrew Cuomo who killed elderly people with his draconian lockdowns.
00:29:12.740 He's no conservative Democrat.
00:29:14.680 He's just as liberal and Marxist as Mamdani is. 0.89
00:29:17.720 So, I mean, what are we doing out here?
00:29:19.600 We're going to go lobby for him?
00:29:22.140 Yeah.
00:29:22.680 And then you've got Silva, who doesn't have a chance of winning, but bless his heart.
00:29:27.000 He's been running in that red beret for many, many times.
00:29:31.120 And, you know, he's a smart guy.
00:29:33.360 But unfortunately, it's the ideology and the thinking of New York.
00:29:38.980 You know, they don't know any different.
00:29:40.900 It's like people that move out of Hollywood and they see how the rest of America lives and they go, oh, not everyone has to be gay.
00:29:47.560 Not everyone has to be trans.
00:29:49.800 The rest of the country is living a pretty normal life.
00:29:52.540 So I've never been to New York.
00:29:54.160 I don't pretend to know what it's like to be a New Yorker, but I've lived in many parts of the world.
00:29:59.280 And there's a lot of common sense thinking, but I don't see that in New York City.
00:30:03.800 We're going to have to get you out here one day, one day soon.
00:30:06.320 So we can show you around and take you to some of the – we do have some of the best restaurants in the world.
00:30:11.180 Yes, you do.
00:30:12.320 I'm not sure how much longer they're going to be there when they can't deal with the – when they have to deal with the burden of Mamdani. 0.99
00:30:18.960 Before we wrap up, I want to get to, like I said, President Trump.
00:30:22.660 Nothing really stops him.
00:30:23.800 Nothing really slows him down.
00:30:25.240 The man is just happy.
00:30:26.640 Like 99% of the time, the guy is happy.
00:30:29.780 And he was in a cabinet meeting today with the prime minister of Australia, and someone blurted out to him that one of the ambassadors in the room from Australia had said some mean things about him.
00:30:41.080 Now, anyone who knows President Trump, you know he doesn't like when someone says something mean about him.
00:30:46.440 Let's take a listen in.
00:30:47.640 Any of the things the ambassador said about you in the past, he's trying to invest him?
00:30:51.340 I don't know anything about him.
00:30:52.940 I mean, if you said bad, then maybe he'll like to apologize.
00:30:55.720 I wrote, I know – did an ambassador say something bad about him?
00:30:59.560 Don't tell me.
00:31:01.880 Where is he?
00:31:02.620 Is he still working for you?
00:31:03.580 Yeah, yeah.
00:31:06.600 You said bad?
00:31:08.280 Before I took this position, Mr. President.
00:31:10.240 I don't like you either.
00:31:12.280 I don't.
00:31:12.940 And I probably never will.
00:31:14.540 Go ahead.
00:31:14.820 How can you not love that guy?
00:31:22.280 Oh, my gosh.
00:31:23.100 He's so funny.
00:31:23.860 He's like, listen, I don't want to know.
00:31:25.220 What was it?
00:31:26.180 Actually, don't point him out.
00:31:27.420 Where is he in the room, right?
00:31:28.880 He is.
00:31:29.660 I mean, if he wasn't a real estate mogul that loved golf, he would have certainly made a very good comedian.
00:31:36.880 He's got great timing, and he's just doing a heck of a job, you know?
00:31:41.540 You said earlier in the hour, it's got to be very frustrating for him to be called a king because he's not a king.
00:31:50.500 He's literally a billionaire.
00:31:52.200 He's richer than most kings were in the past, and yet he's given all of that up in order to serve the American people.
00:32:01.240 He's become the servant of the American people, and he's trying very hard.
00:32:06.920 He's having to deal with foreign governments that don't want to, you know, play ball and others that, you know, they sign a deal and then they back out or whatever.
00:32:17.020 And so it's very difficult, although I will say, you know, he seems to keep looking younger and younger,
00:32:24.920 and that's the only president that I've ever seen that got happier and more jovial and healthy-looking.
00:32:32.100 It's just very bizarre.
00:32:33.960 Yeah.
00:32:34.620 I also don't know a king that's ever been treated the way he's treated.
00:32:38.100 Usually with kings, when you do the things you do, they've done to President Trump, those people would have been killed.
00:32:43.420 At least in the olden days, they would have been, you know, publicly shammed in the public square. 1.00
00:32:48.020 So I'm not entirely sure where these people are getting from.
00:32:50.500 So you'd mentioned earlier on in the show the 10 times the Democrats blocked the government shutdown.
00:32:56.080 Well, I've got some news for everybody.
00:32:57.540 Just moments ago, Senate Democrats emboldened by weekend rallies blocked the GOP's plan from Fox News to end the shutdown for the 11th time.
00:33:08.300 Senate Democrats fresh off a weekend of anti-Trump rallies again blocked the Republicans' plan to reopen the government for the 11th time as the shutdown nears its fourth week.
00:33:18.140 Stephen, I don't get it.
00:33:20.260 I mean, what goes through these people's minds that they don't realize?
00:33:25.100 Now, I obviously don't want the government shut down.
00:33:27.900 I also don't want CR after CR.
00:33:30.100 So I'm somewhere in between in the middle that the Republicans have to get spending under control.
00:33:33.580 But this is not a spending fight right now.
00:33:35.560 This is a Democrat fight. 0.94
00:33:36.860 At what point, before we wrap up here, do the Democrats look at the poll numbers and say, holy crap, this is really hurting us.
00:33:46.580 And it's going to hurt us in 2026.
00:33:48.140 I hope they don't ever open their eyes and realize because it'll help the Republicans in 2026 and I think hand it to whoever runs in 2028.
00:33:58.020 But what point do these people say like, yeah, we're screwed?
00:34:01.680 Yeah, one of the worst things in business is when you get too attached to your own idea.
00:34:09.220 And so they are they are surrounded by yes men that keep telling them this is the fight that this is the fight that the American people want.
00:34:16.940 It's kind of like, you know, President Trump said, what are the things that 80 percent of Americans want and 20 percent don't want?
00:34:24.960 Right. And the Democrats have leaned into the 20 percent that people don't want.
00:34:29.600 And President Trump has astutely leaned into the 80 percent that people do want.
00:34:35.560 And so I don't quite understand their thinking.
00:34:39.680 The only way to win as a Democrat is to go further to the left.
00:34:44.860 And so they just continue to lean into the things that the American people don't really care about.
00:34:51.320 We want a safe country.
00:34:53.260 We want the dollar stabilized.
00:34:55.160 We want life to be affordable.
00:34:56.980 We don't want to be entangled in foreign wars.
00:34:59.560 We want to be done with Israel. 1.00
00:35:01.100 We want to be done with Ukraine and Russia. 1.00
00:35:02.720 We want to you know, like there's there's a lot of things that like we just want to focus on America and everybody keeps trying to distract us and take our dollars in some other way.
00:35:13.860 But to answer your question, I don't know because I don't know how to think like a Democrat.
00:35:19.640 I have tried and my brain is like, well, I wouldn't do that if I was a Democrat.
00:35:24.040 But they they go, you know what?
00:35:26.960 We've got a turd here. 1.00
00:35:28.520 Let's let's double down on this.
00:35:30.340 You know, yeah, it makes no sense to me.
00:35:33.180 They defy everything that is supposed to be cohesive and do the opposite.
00:35:39.480 I don't know who their political strategists are, but I think they're absolutely brilliant.
00:35:45.880 And I really think that they should keep up the great work they're doing.
